Life expectancy in the US in 1927 (85 years ago) was only 59 for men, 62.1 for women. What I don't quite understand is where the number comes from. Does it mean that in 1927 people born that year were expected and projected to live that long? Or does it mean that looking back, people born in 1927 have in actuality lived that long? In any case, they are outliers for their generation.
Confounding your observation is that these people at the Dean Martin roast were all part of a special group of friends and colleagues of Dean Martin and part of a special group of colleagues from an unusual era of humanity--an era of popular culture where people like that appear in your home almost like family (I always considered Lucille Ball to be like a 2nd mom to me I saw her on TV so much in my childhood). It makes sense they'd keep coming back to this event until they were all gone. There is no other outcome but to eventually see the oldest celebrities at this event.
They are also members of a generation that experienced incredible things: medical discoveries, affluence unheard of for our nation and for ordinary people living in it, enormous advances for women, etc. They also lived as children during a time when fast food and junk food were rare, pesticides and pollution had not yet accumulated to current levels, and large parts of the globe were still pristine, untouched and unknown. Children still played outside. Labor-saving devices did not exist. Television didn't exist. Etc.
It should be interesting to see what can be observed of people born when I was born, or born more recently. Will we live long? Will we be healthy in our old ages? Will xenoestrogens do us in? Will pollution and the loss of biodiversity in the world make us sick?

Game #3 Preview – Dash vs. Wilmington
Game #3 – Home Game #3
Winston-Salem Dash (0-2) vs. Wilmington Blue Rocks (2-0)
Saturday, April 5 – 7 p.m.
BB&T Ballpark (Winston-Salem, NC)
The Dash are still seeking their first win of the 2014 season, after losing 10-3 to the Blue Rocks Friday night. Brad Goldberg allowed three runs (two earned) over a career-high four innings in the first professional start of his career. Courtney Hawkins launched a two-run homer for his first of the season.
Jacob May – CF
Tim Anderson – SS
Courtney Hawkins – RF
Keon Barnum – 1B
Jason Coats – RF
Joey DeMichele – 2B
Michael Marjama – C
Grant Buckner – 3B
Adam Heisler – DH
Tony Bucciferro – RHP
- Dash outfielder Courtney Hawkins' home run on Friday night came in the second game of the season. Last year, Hawkins clubbed his first big fly in the fourth game, when he hit two at Frederick on April 10, 2013.
- The Dash have struggled defensively this season, committing six errors in the first two games. Since becoming the Dash in 2009, the team never had more than three errors in the opening two games of each season.
Southpaw Jefferson Olacio made quite a first impression for Dash fans on Friday night. The Dominican Republic native fanned all six men he retired during a two-inning High-A debut.
Before Olacio's outing Friday, no Winston-Salem reliever had whiffed more than six batters in one outing since Justin Collop collected seven strikeouts on May 25, 2012, at Carolina. Only two Dash relievers logged a six-strikeout effort all of last season.
- After winning 30 of the previous 37 games against Wilmington during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, the Dash have actually lost five of the last six against the Blue Rocks, dating back to August 31, 2013.
- Probable starting pitcher Tony Bucciferro is the only man in the Dash rotation with more starts than relief appearances in his career. Of his 22 professional outings, the 24-year-old has tossed the opening pitch in 15 games.
Tonight's tilt is available live via telecast on My 48, with Brian Boesch and Lary Sorensen on the call. The game is also live on wsdash.com by clicking the "Listen Live" button under the Multimedia tab, with Dave Polaski providing play-by-play.

Relive last year's head shaving event
The Winston-Salem Dash and VS. Cancer are teaming up to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer this Friday at BB&T Ballpark. After the game, several Dash players will have their heads shaved on the field, a la last August's Basebald event. Thanks to two of the Dash's stellar photographers, Steve Orcutt and Jody Stewart, here are some of the sights from last year's event:
Terance Marin chipped in with his barber skills by shaving the head of fellow right-handed hurler Chris Bassitt.
Michael Earley, who hit .291 with 73 RBIs for Winston-Salem in 2012 and now plies his trade for Double-A Birmingham, takes his turn in the barber's chair.
Former Dash right-hander Justin Collop gets his head shaved by survivor Grant Ivey, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the game.
Right-hander J.R. Ballinger showed his support as well.
Some of the Dash's participants pose with Grant to show off their new looks. (From left to right: Ballinger, Earley, Nick Ciolli, Bassitt, Juan Silverio and Kevin Vance)
Come out and join us Friday night to see whose head gets shaved this year and show your support for VS. Cancer in the fight against childhood cancer!

Roster moves shuffle pitching staff
The Chicago White Sox have announced four roster moves today that will affect the Dash's roster. With Winston-Salem having an open spot in the rotation after both Terance Marin and Justin Collop were removed late last week, the Dash didn't have a scheduled starter for today's series opener against Myrtle Beach. To fix that, right-hander Myles Jaye is being called up from Low-A Kannapolis to start tonight and fill one of those two spots.
So far this year with the Intimidators, Jaye has pitched very well. The Fayetteville, Ga. native has compiled a 4-1 record with a 2.20 ERA in seven starts. In April, Jaye went 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA over 30 innings. Tonight will mark the former Toronto farmhand's first career appearance in High-A ball.
The other new pitcher coming to Winston-Salem is not new to Dash fans at all, as righty Ryan Buch makes his way back to the Carolina League after spending parts of each of the last two seasons here in Winston-Salem. Buch was transferred from Double-A Birmingham, where he had a 4.91 ERA in five appearances out of the Barons' bullpen. In his career with the Dash, the Monmouth University product has a 8-9 record and a 5.60 ERA in 33 appearances, 21 of which have been starts.
To make room for these moves, the Dash have sent right-hander Stew Brase back down to Kannapolis, where he appeared in 38 games last season. Brase started this season at extended spring training before making his way to Winston-Salem. In his time with the Dash, the La Grange, Ill., native sported a 5.19 ERA in six efforts out of the bullpen.
In addition to Brase's departure to the South Atlantic League, Collop has been released by the White Sox. The former Toledo Rocket started six games for Winston this season, going 2-3 with a 5.79 ERA. He was Chicago's sixth-round pick in 2009.
Join Brian and I here for the Pregame Dash at 6:45 p.m. as the Dash open up a three-game series against first-place Myrtle Beach. First pitch is set for 7 p.m. Talk to you then!

Dash tweaking starting rotation
For the first time this season, Winston-Salem will make a few changes to its starting rotation, Dash skipper Ryan Newman announced Friday.
Two of the Dash's five starters have been tremendous thus far this season. Chris Beck (1.50) and Chris Bassitt (1.71) boast the top two earned run averages among active Carolina League pitchers. Former Potomac ace Taylor Jordan (1.24) is the only qualifier with a better mark, but he makes his Double-A debut tonight for Harrisburg. It is no surprise that this duo will remain in the rotation.
Two other members of the Dash's Opening Day rotation, right-handers Justin Collop and Terance Marin, are heading to the bullpen. Collop (2-3, 5.79 ERA) worked through five innings in each of his first five starts, but he allowed eight runs in two and two-thirds in his most recent effort Monday against Frederick. The Wayne, Mich., native has been a reliever before. He has come out of the bullpen in 38 of his 99 career minor league efforts.
Marin (2-2, 7.04 ERA) also returns to the bullpen, where he spent his entire professional career before this season. The Newman, Calif., native pitched well in his first three starts, allowing just five earned runs in 17 innings of work. However, the righty has allowed at least six runs in his last three outings. Marin boasts a 2.18 ERA in his 77 career minor league appearances out of the bullpen.
Winston-Salem's other starter, Bryan Blough, will also remain in the rotation, and he will technically move up a day and pitch the finale of this four-game series in Potomac. However, Blough will have normal rest thanks to Thursday's off day.
As of now, we know one of the two new members of the Dash's rotation. Right-hander Jason Van Skike, who has allowed just one earned run in his 15 innings with the Dash since an April 12 promotion from Kannapolis, will take to the hill tomorrow afternoon. Van Skike has only started one game in his minor league career, and it came in game two of Winston-Salem's doubleheader sweep of Wilmington on April 20.
Newman and the White Sox have not determined the fifth and final member of the current rotation, so here is how the next few days shake up for the Dash on the mound:
Saturday – RHP Chris Beck
Sunday – RHP Jason Van Skike
Monday – RHP Bryan Blough
Tuesday – TBA
Wednesday – RHP Chris Bassitt
Stay tuned to the Dash Board for news on the Dash's Tuesday starter. Join me for the Pregame Dash at 6:20 tonight here. Talk to you then.

Returning righties highlight rotation
The Dash announced their 2013 Opening Day roster Tuesday, and we broke down the entire roster yesterday on the blog. It features 13 players who have previously played in Winston-Salem, seven of whom are pitchers.
Four of those seven men will be in the Dash's initial starting rotation, which looks like this for the first five games of the season.
Friday at Carolina: RHP Bryan Blough
Saturday at Carolina: RHP Chris Bassitt
Sunday at Carolina: RHP Chris Beck
Tuesday at Frederick: RHP Terance Marin
Wednesday at Frederick: RHP Justin Collop
This is a unique quintet from a statistical standpoint. The Dash's Opening Day rotation has combined for 310 career minor league appearances but only 77 starts.
If you throw out Collop's 55 starts in 93 appearances, the other four hurlers have combined for just 22 minor league starts. Thus, 80 percent of the Dash's rotation has started a combined 10 percent of their minor league games.
Blough started six times for Low-A Kannapolis in the second half of 2012 before rejoining the Dash's bullpen for the stretch run. He will take the ball for the Dash in the season opener Friday night after posting a 2-0 record with a 3.93 ERA in Winston-Salem a year ago.
The rotation plays out such that Bassitt is in line to receive the start for the Dash's Home Opener Friday, April 12. Bassitt never started at the University of Akron or professionally until the second half of 2012 in the CL. He went 4-2 with a 4.25 ERA in 10 regular season starts. The righty then turned in his best professional outing in the SDCS-clinching win September 7 with seven scoreless innings in a 9-0 victory.
Beck enters the season as the top pitching prospect on the Dash's roster, according to Baseball America. The Georgia native went 4-3 with a 4.69 ERA in 15 appearances (six starts) with rookie-level Great Falls last summer. He was the White Sox second-round pick last June.
A reliever for his entire minor league career, Marin shifts into the rotation for 2013. In 77 career appearances, Marin boasts a 2.18 ERA. His work in Winston-Salem last season was comparable (2.42 ERA in 33 efforts), but it came as a reliever. It will be fun to watch Marin's transition.
Collop is the veteran starter of the bunch, with 16 of his 31 appearances last year coming in a starting role. In his High-A career, the former University of Toledo righty is 11-7 with a 4.17 ERA. Last season, he led the Dash in innings pitched (121.0) and shared the team lead in wins (9).
For those coming out to the first series of the home slate next weekend, you will likely see Bassitt, Beck and Marin, in that order. Everyone will get a chance to pitch at BB&T Ballpark during the Dash's eight-game homestand from April 18-25.

Opening Day roster breakdown
One of the final steps before the Dash's season can begin is the release of the Opening Day roster, which happened today. Dash fans know about some of these 25 players, while others will suit up for Winston-Salem for the first time Friday at Carolina. Let's take a look at all of these players and how they fit within the roster.
The top prospect:
OF Courtney Hawkins
No White Sox prospect will draw as much attention as Hawkins will during the 2013 season. Chicago's first-round pick 10 months ago, Hawkins hit three homers and drove in seven runs in 12 High-A games last season. He will likely get a longer look at this level while trying to live up to the billing of being the Sox top prospect and one of the top 100 players in the minors.
The other ranked farmhands:
RHP Chris Beck, INF Joey DeMichele & C Kevan Smith
In addition to Hawkins' place atop Baseball America's White Sox prospect rankings, three other players who will open the season with Winston-Salem found themselves on the publication's Top 30 list. Beck (10th) makes the jump from short-season Great Falls, while DeMichele (24th) is a player that many believe can climb the minor league ladder quickly. Most Dash fans remember Smith (27th) and his big grand slam in the SDCS-clinching win over Myrtle Beach last season. He will likely receive the majority of the playing time available behind the plate.
The returning hurlers:
RHP J.R. Ballinger, RHP Chris Bassitt, RHP Bryan Blough, RHP Justin Collop, RHP Terance Marin, LHP Max Peterson & RHP Steven Upchurch
The Dash's pitching staff was one of the best in the Carolina League last season, and more than half of the Dash's Opening Day pitchers suited up for Winston-Salem at some point last season. Pitching coach J.R. Perdew also returns after the tremendous 2012 season. All seven of these pitchers have had success at this level, which bodes well for the Dash in 2013.
The "prove it" player:
INF David Herbek
Herbek's 2012 season was unique. He hit just .214 in 43 games with Low-A Kannapolis, but the White Sox moved him up to Winston-Salem in late June. The Virginia native responded by swinging at a .313 clip in 47 games. Herbek figures to see significant time with the Dash, so will he be closer to his Kannapolis form or his Winston-Salem self? You have to like his chances to be a scary hitter on this circuit like he was down the stretch a year ago.
The new White Sox:
RHP Jeremy Erben, OF Nick Giarraputo & INF Mark Tracy
Three men on the 25-man roster were not with the organization last season. The White Sox signed Erben in spring training, just a few days after Arizona released him. Giarraputo is back in affiliated baseball after three seasons on the independent circuit. Tracy joined the Sox organization following a trade with Colorado. Former Dash outfielder Kenny Williams, Jr., was shipped to the Rockies in that deal. This trio will be hungry to contribute early on as White Sox farmhands.
The acquaintances:
INF Chris Curley, OF Mark Haddow & OF Billy Rice
These three men all joined Winston-Salem at some point last season, but the threesome combined for only 11 regular season games with the Dash. Curley shined in the final week of the regular season before hitting .500 in the CL postseason, while Haddow and Rice struggled a bit in their limited at-bats after playing well for Low-A Kannapolis. How will these three swingers adjust to a prolonged stay in the Triad? That answer may dictate how effective the offense will be this season.
The Kannapolis kids:
INF Grant Buckner, LHP Jarrett Casey, INF Joe De Pinto & RHP Daniel Webb
These four players spent most or all of their 2012 seasons with Low-A Kannapolis. The jump from Low-A to High-A is not an easy one, but all four of these men will get the chance to do it following spring training.
The catching couple:
C Martin Medina & C Brent Tanner
With Smith in the fold, how will skipper Ryan Newman find playing time for these two backstops? Both Medina and Tanner have shown promise in the minors, but there is only so many at-bats to go around. Last season, the Dash rarely had three catchers on the roster, so this will be a challenge for Newman and hitting coach Rob Sasser.
The comeback candidate:
RHP Cody Winiarski
Winiarski missed all of last season with a back injury, and he only has 17 career minor league efforts under his belt. Last season, Kyle Bellamy returned from a season-long injury to shine with Winston before heading to Double-A. Winiarski will look to do the same for the Dash in 2013.
Hopefully this gives you some more insight on the first roster for the Dash in 2013. The season is three days away, and we will have plenty more coverage leading up to Friday's season opener here on the Dash Board.

Playoff Perspective – Game 2
Winston-Salem rallied for a thrilling 5-4 victory over Lynchburg in Game 2 of the Mills Cup Championship Series Sunday afternoon at BB&T Ballpark. First off, hear from the man who gave the Dash their first lead in the series–catcher Kevan Smith.
Now, it's time for our postgame analysis.
- Wow. Once again, the Dash's collective back was against the wall in a Game 2, and this offense found a way to battle back for a narrow win. After five frustrating innings of offense, Smith, Daniel Wagner and Keenyn Walker came up with huge hits in the sixth, and Marcus Semien's solo shot in the eighth proved to be the difference in the game. This offense, despite struggling at times in the playoffs, is so good.
- Everyone knew Dash skipper Tommy Thompson was going to be the Carolina League's Manager of the Year, and he pushed the right button today when he submitted his lineup card. Winston's catcher had hit in the seven hole in all four previous postseason contests, but Thompson switched Smith with Cyle Hankerd. Sure enough, Smith's turn came around when the Dash needed a hit, and the former Pittsburgh star came through in a big way.
- As for Semien's homer, credit the former sixth-round pick for coming up with the first run scored against Lynchburg reliever John Cornely at the High-A level. Semien is only 3-for-18 in the playoffs, but those three hits have been huge: solo homer in the first inning of Game 2 of the SDCS, game-winning two-run double in that same game and this homer today. Semien is a clutch player.
- How important has Chris Curley been to this playoff run? He is 8-for-16 with four runs scored, and the late-season acquisition made the defensive play of the game in the seventh. Curley, who was playing in on the grass, stabbed a Nick Ahmed liner and doubled off a runner at second to end the threat.
- Starter Justin Collop and reliever Taylor Thompson turned in gritty efforts Sunday, and both Max Peterson and Kevin Vance continued to pitch well out of the bullpen. All in all, a solid day for Winston's pitching staff.
- Thank goodness Andrelton Simmons will be heading back to Atlanta tomorrow, according to multiple reports. It is incredible that this young man played in the CL last year. His ninth-inning double was one of the hardest-hit balls I've seen this year.
- Series tied at one game apiece. Momentum-shifting Game 3 on the horizon. Erik Johnson versus Gus Schlosser. It doesn't get much better than that, and it's 47 hours away.
The Dash and Hillcats have tomorrow off, but the Dash Board blog will be packed with more #Dash12 coverage in advance of Game 3 Tuesday. Talk to you then.

Game 2 Preview – Lynchburg v. Winston-Salem
Mills Cup Championship Series
Lynchburg Hillcats at Winston-Salem Dash
Sunday, September 9 — 2:00 p.m.
Game 2 — Hillcats lead series 1-0
The Dash could not parlay their momentum from consecutive wins to claim the Southern Division Championship Series. Winston-Salem dropped Game 1 of the best-of-five Mills Cup Championship Series to Lynchburg 3-1 Saturday night at BB&T Ballpark. Winston only managed three base runners against Hillcats hurler Michael Lee, who spun six and a third scoreless innings for the victory.
As a result, the Dash will aim to even the series in the final game at BB&T Ballpark this season. Winston boasted the best home regular season record in full-season minor league baseball (48-23), but the Dash are just 2-2 in the Triad in the playoffs.
Winston-Salem — RHP Justin Collop (9-4, 4.17 ERA): In his playoff debut, Collop will face the Hillcats for the fifth time in 2012 today. The righty owns a 5.56 earned run average over 22 and a third innings against Lynchburg. His best outing against the Northern Division champs came July 3 when the former Toledo Rocket turned in six and two-thirds scoreless frames, but the Hillcats roughed up Collop five days later to the tune of eight runs on 12 hits.
Lynchburg — RHP Ryan Weber (2-4, 3.38 ERA): Weber spent much of the regular season in the bullpen, amassing 14 relief appearances and five starts. The former 17th round pick pitched out of the bullpen in Game 2 of the Northern Division Championship Series three days ago. Weber surrendered three runs on six hits over three innings during the Hillcats' lone loss thus far in the postseason.
- Over the last seven seasons, the team to win Game 1 of the Mills Cup Championship Series has gone on to win the Carolina League crown five times. However, in each of the last two seasons, the winner of the series opener has lost the next three and, thus, the series. Frederick overtook Kinston last year after the K-Tribe won Game 1, while Winston bested Potomac in the opener of the 2010 title set before the P-Nats won three straight.
- Winston-Salem's bullpen has yet to allow an earned run in the 2012 playoffs. The Dash have tossed 11 and two-thirds of scoreless relief, and every reliever has thrown at least one inning except for Kevin Vance, who boasts the bullpen's lone win of the playoffs after working two-thirds of an inning Thursday night in Game 2 of the SDCS.
- Dash outfielder Courtney Hawkins has driven in a run in each of the first four playoff games. Hawkins hit a solo shot in the fifth inning Wednesday and the seventh frame Thursday before an RBI fielder's choice in the SDCS-clinching win Friday. Last night, the White Sox top pick in this year's draft plated a run with a single. In his nine games with Winston-Salem, the Corpus Christi, Texas, native is 9-for-32 (.281) with three homers, six RBI and six runs scored.
- Since moving into BB&T Ballpark facility prior to the 2010 campaign, Winston is a CL-best 134-77 (.635) inside the gem of the Carolina League. With a win today, the Dash would claim their 51st home win overall, which would surpass the 2010 squad. That team went 50-23 at home in the regular season and playoffs combined.
- For what it's worth, Winston-Salem is 13-6 on Sundays and 15-12 in day games this season. This will be the final Sunday contest and afternoon affair this season.
- Keep in mind that the Dash and Hillcats have played six extra-inning games this season, which is more than Winston-Salem played against the rest of the circuit combined. Seven of the other 21 games between the division champions have been decided by one or two runs, so these two teams play some great games. This one is more important than all of them.
Outside Winston-Salem, it was a great day for Chicago's minor league system. Triple-A Charlotte punched its ticket to the International League Finals with a 6-4 win over Indianapolis Saturday night. The Knights will play the Pawtucket Red Sox in Game 1 Tuesday night in Rhode Island. Also, rookie-level Great Falls sneaked past Missoula 5-4 thanks to Adam Heisler's two-run, walk-off home run to force a deciding Game 3 in the Pioneer League semifinals.
Dash fans can catch the club's quest for a 12th Mills Cup by tuning in here. Fans are encouraged to tweet @WSDashBaseball and use the Dash's official playoff hashtag: #Dash12. The Pre-Game Dash begins at 1:40 p.m. and features a chat with manager Tommy Thompson and a look back at the Dash's thrilling home season.

Playoff Perspective – Game 3
In case you missed any of our coverage following the Dash's SDCS-clinching win, be sure to check out the game recap, the highlights, two postgame interviews and the twitter updates. Now, it's time for our Game 3 analysis.
- The Dash posted the best overall record and home mark in full-season minor league baseball, so this team won on a regular basis throughout the year. This was, in my opinion, the most complete effort of the season, and it came with the season on the line.
- Myrtle Beach outplayed Winston-Salem during the first 14 innings of this series, but the Dash responded and crushed the Pelicans in the final 13 frames. After Vinny DiFazio's homer in the top of the seventh inning in Game 2, Myrtle did not score again in the series, while the Dash plated 12 runs and recorded three crooked numbers.
- The offense will steal the headlines because of the nine-run showing, but Chris Bassitt pitched the game of his life. "Absolutely," Bassitt said when I asked him about it. Considering the importance of the game, I haven't seen many pitching performances better than the one Bassitt turned in Friday night.
- Keenyn Walker's three-run triple in the second inning was a huge hit for the Dash and for Walker personally. The Pelicans were a deflated bunch after Walker slammed a 2-0 fastball to the gap in right-center. Plus, Walker had struggled a bit in the first two games of the series, and hitting coach Gary Ward has been working with him frequently over the last few weeks. Walker credited Ward in my chat with him after the game, and Dash fans saw Walker's hard work come to fruition.
- Winston-Salem catcher Kevan Smith put the game away with a grand slam in the bottom of the third. In his 24 games as a member of the Dash, Smith has driven in 27 runs. He has proven that he can truly hang offensively in the Carolina League, and his slam tonight was a bomb to the bullpen bar.
- Speaking of Smith's grand slam, tonight's crowd was not the biggest at BB&T Ballpark, but it may have been the most baseball-savvy one we've seen this year thanks to the draw of a playoff elimination game, and the reaction after Smith's grand slam was tremendous. This crowd went nuts.
- Now, the scene shifts to the Mills Cup Championship Series, and the Dash have a huge advantage in their rotation for the first two games. Steve McCray will go in Game 1, and Justin Collop will toe the rubber in Game 2. On the flip side, Lynchburg will have Michael Lee for Game 1, but the Hillcats may have to go with multiple relievers in Game 2.
- Two playoff wins down, and three to go. Enjoy it, Winston-Salem. I can't wait until tomorrow.

Dash Playoff Rotation Set
Today is the calm before the storm on the baseball field, but coverage for the 2012 Carolina League playoffs begins today. Winston-Salem will square off with Myrtle Beach in the Southern Division Championship Series, and the Dash have announced their starters for the three possible games in the series.
Game 1: RHP Erik Johnson
Johnson thrived with Low-A Kannapolis before earning his first promotion to High-A in mid-July. In his eight starts in a Dash uniform, Johnson is 4-3 with a 2.74 earned run average, and the former California Golden Bear has earned a quality start in seven of his eight efforts. The Los Altos, Calif., native has also worked through six innings in all but one start. Johnson has not pitched against the Pelicans this season.
Game 2: LHP Scott Snodgress
Snodgress, like Johnson, joined the Dash's rotation in July after beginning the campaign with the Intimidators. The southpaw was 4-0 with a 1.50 ERA in eight starts, and he has five quality starts. The Yucaipa, Calif., native has struck out 44 men in 42 innings of work. When Snodgress appears against the Pelicans Thursday night, he will be facing them for the third time. His first two outings against Myrtle Beach were stellar: 12 innings, 1 run, 0 earned runs, 14 strikeouts, 3 walks.
Game 3: RHP Chris Bassitt
If the SDCS goes down to a deciding Game 3, Chris Bassitt will toe the rubber for Winston-Salem. Two months ago, Bassitt had never made a professional start, but he went 4-2 with a 4.25 earned run average in 10 starts over the final seven weeks of the season. Overall, the former Akron Zip is 5-4 with a 3.66 ERA in 38 appearances overall. Against the Pelicans, Bassitt has not allowed a run in nine and a third innings spanning four games (one start).
Where are Justin Collop and Steve McCray?
If needed, both Collop and McCray will be used out of the bullpen during the SDCS this week. Both men worked out of the bullpen during the first half of the season, so this is not a new role for the duo. However, if the Dash can dispose of the Pelicans easily without needing Collop or McCray, both could slot back inside the rotation for the Mills Cup Championship Series.
Myrtle Beach's rotation
The Pelicans are expected to throw three right-handed pitchers: Luke Jackson (5-2, 4.39 ERA), Nick McBride (2-3, 3.76 ERA) and Joe Van Meter (4-5, 2.06 ERA).

The basic molecules required for life as we know it have been detected in a second hot gas planet beyond our solar system.
The planet, which orbits a sun-like star about 150 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus, is not habitable but it has the same chemistry that, if found around a rocky planet in the future, could indicate a world that might support life or the presence of life.
"It's the second planet outside our solar system in which water, methane and carbon dioxide have been found, which are potentially important for biological processes in habitable planets," said researcher Mark Swain of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "Detecting organic compounds in two exoplanets now raises the possibility that it will become commonplace to find planets with molecules that may be tied to life."
The first planet in which organic molecules were detected was HD 189733b, a hot, Jupiter-sized planet. The discovery was made by Swain and his colleagues in December 2008.
Swain's team used data from two of NASA's orbiting Great Observatories, the Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, to study another hot planet bigger than Jupiter, HD 209458b, and characterize it as the second known exoplanet with organic signatures.
The detections were made through spectroscopy, which splits light into its components to reveal the distinctive spectral signatures of different chemicals. Data from Hubble's near-infrared camera and multi-object spectrometer revealed the presence of the molecules, and data from Spitzer's photometer and infrared spectrometer measured their amounts.
"This demonstrates that we can detect the molecules that matter for life processes," Swain said.
Astronomers can now begin comparing the two planetary atmospheres for differences and similarities. For example, the relative amounts of water and carbon dioxide in the two planets is similar, but HD 209458b shows a greater abundance of methane than HD 189733b.
"The high methane abundance is telling us something," Swain said. "It could mean there was something special about the formation of this planet."
Other large, hot Jupiter-type planets can be characterized and compared in the same way. The techniques used are also similar for those that will be required to shortlist rocky Earth-like planets where the signatures of organic chemicals might indicate the presence of life.
Rocky worlds are expected to be found by NASA's Kepler mission, which launched earlier this year, but astronomers believe we are a decade or so away from being able to detect any chemical signs of life on such a body.
If and when such Earth-like planets are found in the future, "the detection of organic compounds will not necessarily mean there's life on a planet, because there are other ways to generate such molecules," Swain said. "If we detect organic chemicals on a rocky, Earth-like planet, we will want to understand enough about the planet to rule out non-life processes that could have led to those chemicals being there."

Good morning & good afternoon to some of you-
Announcing the UX Summer School Workshop
Hi All,
Just to give you a quick heads up that Nokia has now launched a careers group on LinkedIn. Please search for Nokia: Global Careers. We are aiming to create a one stop community for news, discussion and live roles. So far the response has been amazing and we have had hundreds of requests to join in the last couple of days alone.
So if you're thinking about a new role or if you're looking to engage in the Nokia Career community then please come and join.
I'm looking for an online resource which contains details of all the best UX and design events coming up over the next year. Does anyone know a good site or community?
Just a few hours back when I was speaking to a musician friend of mine, he seemed very frustrated about the interface of a sound-mixing software. As a usability and user interface professional, I never ever understood one thing: In the music world, there are so many softwares and so many workstations used to create music and certainly people want to buy these expensive products yet they are scared of one question. The question is how do they learn them??
Hi Everyone,
I´m starting the redesign of a huge amount of eLearning Content for a University, a lot of the redesign consist in the implementation of Interactive Activities instead of the "info...info... info... quiz" model.
Does anyone know about a design model for this? also any tips or advice would be appreciated
We'll be submitting a number of course proposals to the CHI and UPA conferences in the coming months, plus we want to arrange a series of public one-day courses on design and usability. It would help us enormously to know what folks would actually be interested in attending.
Please take five minutes to fill out our survey (before 22 May) and enter our raffle for a GBP 35/USD 50/EUR 40 Amazon voucher. The URL is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LY8KSKX
Thanks in advance!
Hi,I'm sat here in Doha [Qatar] in the middle of a week of user-testing an English/Arabic travel website. One concern for our design approach is to not just "flip the text RTL" for the Arabic translation. We'd really like to actually do something meaningful for the Arabic version [yes, its early in the project and our hopes flourish]. Primarily I'm trying to find UX principles for designing an Arabic language website. From both Western and Arabic-based UX practitioners. Articles, thoughts and examples on designing Arabic language websites.
Hello everyone,
I do not have the ability to do any usability testing for this, but I wanted to know if there was a best practice for this scenario:
The user lands and on media asset viewer (default view w/another view option) with options to filter the media asset viewer by category and media type. After making a few filter selections, the user then flips the media asset viewer to another view - would most users expect that their filter selections from the previous view to be preserved?
Your opinions are very welcomed.
If you are an experience design professional passionate about Search,
you must attend the Enterprise Search Summit in NYC May 11-12. I have
spoken on designing social search in the enterprise as well as designing
search experiences a few times at this conference – and it really is
the best conference around this problem space. Our good friend Peter Morville will be one of the keynote speakers talking about Search & Discovery Design Patterns. Again - this is pretty cool.

Samsung Galaxy S5 sped up for January tease: 64-bit Exynos, 16 MP OIS camera in a metallic body
0. phoneArena 13 Oct 2013, 15:54 posted on
Naver cites insiders who claim that the Galaxy S5 would be teased as early as January of next year, and be announced the next month, in February. That coincides with the MWC expo, and it doesn't seem far fetched that Samsung is going to unveil something major around those dates. The rush is apparently due to sagging sales of the Galaxy S4, the sources claim, and Samsung has decided to shorten the life cycle to 9 months instead of the usual eleven or so, and this reason we heard mentioned by another Korean publication just two days ago...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Better Run!
6. Tommy1960i (Posts: 119; Member since: 11 Oct 2013)
Yeah!!! A metallic body will add a premium feel to the phone. It will be more aristocratic. A better camera then the S4 means a perfect camera:)
11. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Personally, I would trade a metal body for the ability to swap (on-demand) the battery and expandable memory chips. I hope Sammy doesn't eliminate the swappable battery and memory upgrade. Also, without 4+ Gb of RAM, the 64-bit addressing is not exactly compelling. But OIS for the camera is quite compelling. I wonder when the GS5 is going to be available on VZW?
19. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Metal body =/= non removable back.
The Galaxy S Captivate HAS a metal back AND a micro SD AND a removable battery,
29. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Best of both worlds. I can't say I really care about swapping batteries, but it's nice to have the option.
33. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
Metal back not a unibody design. Big different
26. james004 (Posts: 486; Member since: 15 May 2013)
let me say this out clear. B.S! none of this is actually happening. we will see another plastic junk with physical home button.
if any of you want to be optimistic about android future, look at sony and htc.
samsung makes bad phone with flying specs and lg copies them.
moral of android life.
47. nxl2610 (Posts: 49; Member since: 14 Aug 2013)
Such butthurt ,poor you
68. james004 (Posts: 486; Member since: 15 May 2013)
lol well when s5 comes out, just think about my comment and you will feel sorry that you believed in a bad company.
been there, done that. telling you, dont believe in samsung. they are nothing but money leeches.
58. HansGoneInsane (unregistered)
I think you don't recognize Samsung's strategy. They want to create the "Uber-Smartphone" that contains all the unique things other Android manufacturers offer their customers. That means they want to offer such a cool design like the HTC One, combined with the camera-system from Sony. To keep it short: Samsung does what it can do best: copy the competition shamelessly.
63. rd_nest (Posts: 1593; Member since: 06 Jun 2010)
you have really gone insane. never to full retard
69. nxl2610 (Posts: 49; Member since: 14 Aug 2013)
As a customer ,that is what i want - a perfect device .Who care if A copy B (or in reverse)
60. SleepingOz (unregistered)
I also don't care about a metallic body! I want matte polycarbonate or composite materials like carbon fiber and kevlar.
62. rd_nest (Posts: 1593; Member since: 06 Jun 2010)
the 64-bit is just for marketing purpose. They don't want to lose the hype game to Apple. Everyone knows there are not much practical benefit in mobile. anyway's it doesn't mean that it will harm to get 64-bit SOC.
31. Dorothy69 (banned) (Posts: 498; Member since: 21 May 2013)
I think Samsung should go all out on the materials to show everyone how a premium smartphone with premium hardware of the future and not yesteryear's hardware should be constructed - they should do the following:
Construct a phone entirely of shatterproof glass (front and back) with a screen size not less than 5.3", neatly encased with a gold-plated outer bezel and under the hood their should then be a 64-bit Octo-Core 3.2 gHz processor with not less than 6GB of RAM. Some of the other features should include a 20MP Camera with OIS and the rear side and on the front side a 5MP Camera for video calls and include full biometric security features (not just a finger). Samsung should also include a Gear 2 smartwatch as part of the deal. This should silence those Sammy haters that would rather settle for a tiny 4.01" delicately breakable quasi-Phone with quasi security (Although, those people more than likely will be broken out of their proverbial "Jail" at some point!!).
39. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
And I bet you expect to pay no more than $200 on contract or $649 full retail for such a miraculous device also, right?
43. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Lol 3.2ghz octa core in a phone what are you smoking. Try back in 3-4 years MAYBE.
61. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
I think you meant to reply to Dorothy, not me.
57. HansGoneInsane (unregistered)
And I thought Hans has gone insane! It sounds like you want to force the world to share your opinion about Samsung....I am glad that I don't have to live in your world of hatred....
44. KIANO (Posts: 82; Member since: 13 Feb 2011)
Metallic chassis adds a premium feel but price may be much more than previous models.
14. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I wonder what processor the us version will have.
36. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Snapdragon 600 equivalent to the s4 pro so it will be a glorified snapdragon 800.
22. HansGoneInsane (unregistered)
Sounds like a killer phone. Samsung's strategy clearly is to deny any other Android manufacturer something special. I think that Sony is the only company that is able to challenge Samsung on the Android platform because Sony is really a high tech company that is able to develop every part of the smartphone itself. But lets see what is going to happen next year!
30. KParks23 (Posts: 619; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
Exactly i absolutely refuse to buy another samsung product for various reasons.. . I would love to see a top end sony phone on Verizon!
2. tempdogg74 (Posts: 86; Member since: 04 Jan 2009)
Dam it SammmmmmmmmmmmmSung just got my Note 3. Still gonna rock it till Note 6.
27. hellonerds (Posts: 316; Member since: 27 Aug 2013)
same here just got the note 3... ill rock it till note 5.. in tech something new will alway come out.. plus they are going to start with that 64bit that will take sometime for apps to convert to it or wont really need it as of now.. its all about the experience and how things run... dont get all caught up on this spec stuff lol...
48. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
You are a warrior. i buy 2 or 3 phones every 6 months-12 months.
64. rd_nest (Posts: 1593; Member since: 06 Jun 2010)
65. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
2-3 doesn't mean high end, last 3 was a nexus 5, a zopo zp980 (wanted a chinese phone) mid summer and an lg options l9 in August. Next device will be a nexus 5 and then I want to get my 2nd phablet eventually. I had the original Galaxy Note for a while.
70. freebee269 (Posts: 539; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
one of your last 3 was a nexus 5 but your next device will be a nexus 5?
45. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
lol… this is why i switched from android…
when you buy the best android phone a few months later something else comes out that tops it.
Its not a bad thing i just hate knowing that i can't be satisfied with my phone for a full year.
I love the way android adds in new tech its just hard to pick and choose as a consumer.
54. willard12 (Posts: 1693; Member since: 04 Jul 2012)
Yeah...it's much better to buy from a manufacturer that only makes incremental improvements. Rather than just buying a product because you enjoy it, its always best to keep looking over your shoulder. Question is, if you were satisfied when you bought your device, how can you now be dissatisfied with it because something shinier comes along? With this psychological defect, it's best to never buy a car, a house, or get married.
3. improv (Posts: 96; Member since: 09 Sep 2013)
I hope samsung sticks with the plastic (if they're continuing with this route) rather than the faux leather.
7. Tommy1960i (Posts: 119; Member since: 11 Oct 2013)
Why do you think it is better?
9. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
if my thinking is correct, the faux leather was primarily for the note as it was suppose to portray a more notebook-like experience so I doubt they'll put the faux plastic/leather backing on the S5.
but honestly if they did do it, I wouldn't mind that either.
4. Rogue (Posts: 8; Member since: 11 Sep 2013)
So is not Galaxy F with metal body, is the new GS5 and will be launched after just 10 months... F off samsung!
32. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Yeah, screw progress! What really matters is that the phones we have are cutting-edge for a longer period of time!
51. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Its starting to cool down, it won't be to much longer before competition in the phone world dies and something new comes along.
5. sunnyfpy (Posts: 89; Member since: 12 May 2013)
Smartphone market is over saturated with new phones every few months.64Bit chip will not have significant impact because existing apps are not optimise for it.So why upgrade??
8. Tommy1960i (Posts: 119; Member since: 11 Oct 2013)
Maybe it will feature an awesome camera with 4K videos and 1080p slow motion video shooting, plus great low light capability. I would like an S5 with Nokia 1020 camera. :D
34. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
Do you have a 4k tv or monitor? So what is the point of 4k records? So we can have it?
52. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
For starters downsampling. A 4k video looks better on a 1080p monitor than a 1080p video does on a 1080p monitor.
53. bucky (Posts: 2582; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
I think 1080 is perfect right now. The space used and most likely jitters that it will have is not worth the trade off.
15. softfurryanus (banned) (Posts: 232; Member since: 09 Jul 2013)
4gb of RAM?
55. AciMars (Posts: 24; Member since: 04 Jul 2013)
Funny, you miss the point..
64bit chip SHOW that they no longer use ARMv7a instead using ARMv8...
Keep in your mind the difference between ARMv7a and ARMv8 not only 64bit compability but also the HUGE IMPROVEMENT on Performance Architecture..
Just in case, Apple A7 can boost up to 2x performance with SAME CORE n Clock Speed.. SO STOP THINKING about Useless thing like not optimise and need more than 4GB RAM
10. Penywyz (banned) (Posts: 255; Member since: 13 Aug 2013)
Will they at least put enough RAM in the phone so it can actually benefit from the 64 bit unlike some other companies out there?
12. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Probably have to wait for the GS6 for 4+ Gb of RAM. Although, you might see 4 Gb of RAM in the Note 4....
16. georaldc (Posts: 5; Member since: 13 Oct 2013)
Isn't there more to 64bit than just having 4gb and up ram?
20. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2185; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
Yes, quite a bit, but haters will never admit it, even when the preponderance of evidence and the admissions of better technical minds are against them. Addressable memory is just one piece of 64-bit.
25. p0rkguy (Posts: 685; Member since: 23 Nov 2010)
Quite a bit? There is almost no benefit from it when below 4GB.
28. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Addressable memory is the principal motivation for moving to 64-bit (don't have to swap in-and-out of memory to slower storage). Servers and high-end workstations running 64-bit OS all have more than 4Gb of RAM for that reason.
The majority of the performance gain of the A7 SoC is due to clock rate increase and GPU improvement, NOT 64-bit architecture.
49. vincelongman (Posts: 4445; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
I agree with you on not 64-bit.
But, the majority of the performance gain of the A7 is from ARM's v8 architecture and Apple's custom design, not the clock rate.
59. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I wonder how the v8 architecture would perform at a clock rate of say, 1.0 Ghz (versus 1.3 Ghz)? Apple's 'custom design' is probably as performance improving as 64-bit addressing - a little gain, but not the majority of the improvement.

Funny, you miss the point..
64bit chip SHOW that they no longer use ARMv7a instead using ARMv8...
Keep in your mind the difference between ARMv7a and ARMv8 not only 64bit compability but also the HUGE IMPROVEMENT on Performance Architecture..
Just in case, Apple A7 can boost up to 2x performance than A6 with Same Number of Core n Clock Speed.. SO STOP THINKING about Useless thing like not optimise and need more than 4GB RAM

Will undoubtedly happen! When that is the case PC may be obsolete. Power to the professional mobility devices.

I wonder if the Galaxy S5 will have a bright display like the iphone's 500 cd/m2 or is it going to be the same mediocre 300 cd/m2.

Waiting for OIS camera, better low light and 60fps movie record. The rest ... I love it. Bring it on.

BlackBerry Z30Compare7.5 reviewThe BlackBerry Z30 includes a 5-inch 720p (295 ppi) AMOLED display, the largest of any BB phone, and also the now aging aged Snapdragon S4 Pro with the four CPUs running at 1.7GHz. Blackberry is yet to shed light on whether we're talking about a dual-core or quad-core, though the less potent version seems likely. In terms of memory, you'll find 2GB RAM, with just 16GB of internal storage, though you can expand that via a microSD card. BlackBerry claims that the battery on the Z30, at 2880mAh, coupled with software optimizations, offers 50% more battery life than its current competitors, though manufactures have a pretty shady track record when it comes to this particular bit of hardware, and its actual capabilities. Turning to the camera on the Z30, an increasingly relevant component of the entire package a smartphone offers lately, we're welcomed by a 8MP rear camera with Auto Focus, 5x digital zoom and a an LED flash. The large five element lens with an aperture of f/2.2 mean that the unit will capture a lot of light, resulting in great shots. The snapper, as is to be expected, is capable of 1080p video capture, and comes with what BB chose to call "Time Shift" – a feature that basically allows you to choose and adjust faces from several snaps, so say goodbye to ill-timed shots. In terms of connectivity and extras, the Z30 is anything but lacking – you get GPS, 4G LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi, of course, but also Bluetooth 4.0 LE (low energy), NFC, and the rather nice perk that is a microHDMI port.+ View Specs

Asus PadFone Infinity 2CompareA 5" 1080x1920 pixels IPS-LCD display is on the ASUS PadFone Infinity 2, and a 2.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 is running the show, aided by 2 GB of RAM, and backed by a 2400 mAh battery. The 13 MP f/2.0 aperture camera stays, but Asus is using what it calls PixelMaster technology to bin the information from four pixels together into one decked out 3 MP image, similar to Nokia's PureView Phase 1 technology. Storage gets shrunk to either 16 GB or 32 GB models, instead of 32 GB/64 GB of the original, but that's because you get a memory card slot for expansion now. The phone supports European/Asian networks mainly, with LTE 800/1800/2600 bands, and will arrive with Android 4.2.2 onboard in Titanium Black or Platinum White chassis colors.+ View Specs

Apple iPhone 5cCompare9 reviewThe iPhone 5c replaces the iPhone 5 in the Apple stable, inheriting its internals, like the A6 processor, 4" screen and 8 MP camera, but wraps them up in "unapologetically plastic" candy chassis that can be mixed and matched in many colors with the new slotted cases.

Apple iPhone 5sCompare9.3 reviewThe iPhone 5s is not a radical departure in design for Apple, save for one very important feature. No, we don't mean the new Space Gray and Gold colors. We have in mind the home button that has been on iPhones from day one, is now turned into a fingerprint scanner dubbed Touch ID. It lets you unlock the phone and authorize purchases, safely storing your fingerprints in the A7 processor itself, out of the reach for anyone but a few default iOS 7 apps. This A7 processor debuts on the iPhone 5s as the first 64-bit mobile chipset in use on a commercial device, utilized by the latest flat and minimalistic iOS 7 that has been rewritten to take advantage of the 64-bit system. It sports a dedicated M7 co-processor for always-on motion sensing, too. The iSight camera stayed 8 MP, but is much improved, with larger pixels, wider aperture, and the ability to shoot slow motion videos, not to mention the dual two-tone LED flash on the back that strives for natural skin color representation.+ View Specs

Alcatel touts the Evo 8HD to be a modular tablet, and in this case this means that you can swap its cellular modules and upgrade it to either 3G or 4G LTE radios.

Forget one if by land, two if by sea. How about seven by air?
In a surgical performance, Fallon quarterback Morgan Dirickson engineered a game for the ages on Friday at the Edward Arciniega Complex.
The senior gunslinger was just that, as he shredded the Elko defense to the tune of 440 passing yards and seven touchdowns as Fallon won, 48-20, in a battle of unbeaten teams. The Greenwave improve to 4-0 in the Northern Division I-A, while Elko falls to 3-1.
"We've known all year we had the potential to throw the ball," Fallon coach Brooke Hill said. "We've shown signs all year. We didn't have the defense and special team scores so we could generate some offense. Morgan was on and when that's happening it's pretty tough to stop."
Dirickson, who completed 16 of 23 passes, was not a solo act. Junior receiver Tyler Bagby ran wild as he hauled in a team-high, career-best six receptions for 251 yards and two TDs. Sophomore sensation Cameron Matzen added three TDs on five catches for 113 yards, and Beau Marshall chipped in with three receptions for 49 yards and one TD.
"We knew it was a big game … and what was at stake," Dirickson said. "For the first time all season, we really got in a groove. Between a good week of practice and getting in rhythm, I think it really led us."
In what was expected to be a rugged slugfest, Fallon's athleticism dominated from the start. Elko, meanwhile, could not get out of its own way in the first quarter, which was all the Wave needed.
Indians running back David Jackson was ejected on the second play of the game after he threw a punch that connected with Matzen's helmet. Jackson will miss this week's game against Lowry.
Elko's flurry of penalties buried its offense and gave Fallon's unit life. After Matzen weaved his way 73 yards for the game's first score, a personal foul by Elko put Fallon on the Indians' 41-yard line.
Running Trent Tarner scampered for 31 yards, and Dirickson threw a jump ball for Marshall in the corner of the end zone for a 14-0 lead.
"We knew they were going to be in man coverage, so we had to take advantage of that," Bagby said.
Bagby and Matzen, meanwhile, were too fast for the Indians' secondary. Bagby raced past the secondary for the Wave's third score — a 27-yarder — and outran the defense on a seam route for a 74-yard score to open the second quarter.
Just for good measure, Bagby added a 73-yard interception return to set up the Wave's final score of the first half.
"I got the pick … and I tried breaking it, but a kid got me by the ankle," Bagby said. "I tried to make something out of nothing."
Matzen added to his growing TD total (12 to date) and hauled in two second quarter scores to push Fallon's lead to 41-13 at halftime.
"Whenever you have success like that, it takes off some pressure," Dirickson said.
Defensively, the Wave matched Elko's physical style and shut down its power running game. With the loss of Jackson, Elko relied Jordan Walthers, who tallied 16 carries for 92 yards and Jason Wilson added 53 yards.
Once Fallon extended the lead to 27-13, Elko started using its passing attack more frequently. The Indians, though, were stymied by Fallon's pass rush and stingy secondary.
Elko quarterback Connor Altenburg connected on 7 of 17 passes for 133 yards with one TD and one interception. Fallon's Dakota Schelling tallied a team-high 12 tackles followed by Decco Carter (10), Rylie Williams (nine) and Justin Hatfield (eight).
"Overall, I thought our defense played real well," Hill said. "They caught us on one … that was more of my call. We've been real consistent on that side of the ball all year."

Heidelberg University undergraduate commencement speaker gave the graduates two orders: Support the alumni association and "hit the ground running to find the best career."
Retired Lt. Col. Harold Brown of the United States Air Force Tuskegee Airmen delivered the commencement address "As much as things change, they remain the same" during Heidelberg's 160th annual undergraduate commencement ceremony Sunday afternoon.
Brown told graduates they entered Heidelberg during the worst recession since the Great Depression.
Article Photos
Psychology graduate Rachel Johann sends a silent message across a sea of black hats during the Heidelberg graduation ceremony at Seiberling Gymnasium Sunday afternoon.
Brown described his life at the age of the graduates and he, at a young age, wanted to become a military pilot. At age 19, Brown joined the 332nd Fighter Group and completed 30 missions. Brown said he survived three plane crashes, including one where he became a prisoner of war and was sent to a German POW camp.
To survive three major accidents, Brown said, "Someone must have been smiling down on me."
As the country's economy starts to return to normal and people are again borrowing money, Brown said the degree graduates received "will open doors, but your education will not determine whether you will stay. You have to supply more skills and to get used to learning from now on."
"There are several skills that will stay with you," Brown said. "The first on my list is to learn how to think critically. Second is to communicate effectively with passion and enthusiasm. Communication is an essential skill that you will use throughout any employment."
The third skill Brown said is to work in a team.
"This skill was critical for me in my military career and will be for your success," Brown said. "Finally, learn to get stuff done. You are going to enter into a fast-paced world where you have to work quickly and efficiently."
Brown's final message was "to make the Heidelberg family proud!"
More than 200 graduates earned bachelor's degrees Sunday, including bachelor's of arts, bachelor's of science and bachelor's of music degrees.
Mackenzie Wallace, who received a bachelor's of science degree, was the undergraduate speaker. He played football, participated in a play and was a regular personality on WHEI.
"Heidelberg did not make me great at one thing, but good at a lot of different things." Wallace said. "Heidelberg allowed us to be that athlete, part of Greek life, part of the theatre or all three."
Wallace said that when he was deciding on attending Heidelberg, his high school coach asked him if he would still be there and still be happy in four years.
"I am still here and I am happy and couldn't be more ecstatic to be graduating from Heidelberg. Don't worry that you are not great at one thing!"
It took six years for Kathy Borton of Tiffin to earn her bachelor's of arts degree in business administration. She took classes every semester while working a full-time job.
"I feel proud and determined about graduating magna cum laude," Borton said. "I want my education to prove to be beneficial. I value the knowledge and self-confidence my education has given me."
Borton said she enjoyed the professors, class interactions and the challenges of finals - "especially once they were over."
Borton gave advice to future college grads. She said, "Go to college immediately after high school and graduate before you have a full-time job. I would advise them to talk to other students who have already taken the class to find out what to expect from professors prior to taking the class and to recommend making friends with other students in your major to create friends to study with."
"I would tell them that actually attending classes and studying has a great impact on not only your grades and knowledge, but ultimately your happiness," she said.
Honorary degrees were presented to Brown and Rev. David Mark Greenhaw, president and professor of preaching and worship at Eden Theological seminary, who spoke during the baccalaureate service Sunday morning.

Dean to advise USDA
James Clark, dean of the College of Agriculture, Science and Engineering at West Texas A&M University, has been named to a board that advises the secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Clark will serve a three-year term on the National Agricultural Research, Extension, Education and Economics Advisory Board. His role on the board, which has 31 appointees, will be to represent non-land-grant colleges and universities.
The board's main purpose is to review and provide consultation to the secretary of agriculture and land-grant colleges and universities on long- and short-term national policies and priorities relating to agricultural research, extension, education and economics.
The board also, by mandate, consults with appropriate agricultural committees of the U.S. Congress.
Habitat deadline
The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service in Texas has set a Dec. 15 as the sign-up deadline for the 2007 Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program.
"The funds allocated for WHIP will help Texas landowners restore and conserve native wildlife habitat," said Dr. Larry Butler, NRCS state conservationist for Texas. "The program provides financial and technical assistance to producers applying approved conservation measures that help improve wildlife habitat."
At-risk and declining wildlife species are the primary targets for habitat improvement.
Local NRCS field offices have complete details for this program. Additional information, including ranking criteria, eligible practices, and cost-share rates for all programs, is at www.tx.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/.

Insensitivity to pain is a rare anomaly. It is congenital, probably recessively inherited and affects the skin and mucous membranes, skeleton, and protopathic sensibility. Infants with this disorder often bite their tongues, fingers, and lips, and the wounds heal slowly. Usually parents note at about the third year the child does not cry when injured and seems indifferent to blows or falls. Injuries and burns are frequent, as are secondary infections. Usually these children do not complain of the injury and will continue happy and active.
We are reporting a child in whom insensitivity to painful stimuli was first noted in the early weeks of life. By 17 months of age the clinical picture was quite definitely that of congenital analgia.
