An memoir of mental illness in the tradition of the bestselling An Unquiet Mind
Scattershot is David Lovelace's poignant, humorous, and vivid account of bipolar disorder's effects on his family, and his gripping exploits as he spent his life running from? and finally learning to embrace?the madness imprinted on his genes. Four out of five people in David Lovelace's immediate family have experienced bipolar disorder? including David himself. In 1986, his father, his brother, and David himself were all committed in quick succession. Only his sister has escaped the disease. A coming-of-age story punctuated by truly harrowing experiences, this devastating and empathetic portrait of the Lovelace family strips away the shame associated with bipolar disorder?a disease that affects approximately 5.7 million adult Americans, and celebrates the profound creative gifts that come with it.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
As a twenty-something in the 1980s, Lovelace discovered that he had bipolar disorder (formerly known as manic-depression), a shattering mental illness shared by both his parents and, they would find later, his younger brother. Growing up, his parents went largely undiagnosed-his mother's initial breakdown was in 1949, the days when "psychiatrists diagnosed almost all delusional illness as schizophrenia," and the only treatment was electroshock. Members of his family spent years in deep, undiagnosed suffering, largely from depression ("Denial wasn't difficult, not yet. No one in my family had experienced mania"), and Lovelace spent years running from his illness through Mexico, South America and later to New York, accompanied by drugs and alcohol: "I've denied my own illness and I've loved it almost to death." Lovelace's poetic prose is both matter-of-fact and haunted, capturing the unpredictable rhythms of mental illness: "Alone in the bathroom I made a smile in the mirror and it strangled my eyes." Readers will get a real sense of the interior world of a single patient, and a family, on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Poet and bookseller Lovelace's humorous and harrowing first memoir follows his gentle, loving mother's, his eccentric preacher father's, his younger brother's, and his own descent into bipolar disorder. It's a coming-of-age story of an entire family; how parents and siblings are affected by both their own and each other's bipolarity. Marked by otherness simply by being the evangelical preacher's son, Lovelace also had to cope with his role as the family's caretaker, which he managed with grace even though he grew up with only marginal stability. No one in the family lacks love for one another, and that's what makes this story so poignant.-Elizabeth Brinkley

For anyone interested in mental illness, whether client or professional, this book is a must-read. If you fall into neither category you will still find that this account of an eccentric (and clearly dysfunctional) childhood is both heartbreaking and inspirational in the tradition of Cherry and This Boy's Life. Lovelace truly has a gift for describing the complexity of family relationships. The reader tastes the essence of the love/hate relationship he had with parents who suffered greatly but also lead fascinating lives. His story is not always flattering but at times reads as a love letter to his parents, for in their madness they exposed him to the greater depths of human experience. One gets the sense that given the choice he would not have had it any other way.

A North Charleston man and woman were arrested on meth charges Monday after somebody reported suspicious chemicals in their trash can.
Catherine Deloris Hutson, 29, and Steven Michael James, 28, both of Dublin Road, are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and disposal of waste from production of methamphetamine.
Officers were called to 3321 Dublin Road shortly before noon to check out the trash can and found a bottle consistent with cooking meth, police spokesman Spencer Pryor said. Officers questioned Hutson and James. Hutson told officers she and her boyfriend, James, were cooking meth Sunday night in Goose Creek and brought the chemicals back to the North Charleston house to cook some more, Pryor said.
Hutson and James were being held Monday in the Charleston County jail.
Update: Prosecutors chose not to pursue the charges against Hutson and dropped the case in October 2014, Charleston County court records show.
Hutson said the case was dismissed after she successfully completed a pre-trial diversion program for first-time offenders, and she soon expects to have the charges expunged from her record.
Steven Michael James, 28, of Dublin Road is charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and disposal of waste from production of methamphetamine.×

NASA probes crash into the moon
Washington (AFP) Dec 17, 2012
Two NASA probes crashed into the moon on Monday after spending months gathering data by orbiting miles above the lunar surface, the US space agency said. The site where the tiny probes, dubbed Ebb and Flow, crashed will be named after astronaut Sally Ride, the first American woman in space. Ride, who died earlier this year, had led the GRAIL mission's MoonKam project for students from around the world to choose targets for the probes' cameras.

Ad watch: A closer look at dueling health care spots
By Matt Kelley and Mimi Hall, USA TODAY
As Congress nears a final vote on health care legislation, groups that oppose and support the bill have begun airing television ads that make claims about the impact it will have on Americans. Here's a look at two of those ads: one for the health care bill and one against.
Employers for a Health Economy ad
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other trade organizations formed Employers for a Healthy Economy, which is running ads this week in the districts of some of the members of Congress considered to be swing votes on the health care bill.
SUPPORT AD: Ad pushes Obama's agenda
Narrator:Americans still losing jobs. More businesses struggling. We thought Washington understood. But this week Congress is trying to use special rules to ram through their same trillion-dollar health care bill. Billions in new taxes. More mandates on businesses. Health care costs will go even higher, making a tough economy worse. Washington's not getting the message. Tell Congress. Stop this health care bill we can't afford to pay.
The images
The 30-second ad is a montage of dimly lit scenes of people with dejected expressions in homes and offices, some of them shaking their heads while looking at bills. The ad closes with this message on the screen: "Employers for a Healthy Economy Tells Congress to Start Over! And Get Health Care Reform Right." The message also lists the House of Representatives' switchboard telephone number and the group's website address, and notes it was paid for by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Reality check
The ad doesn't say what "special rules" the Democrats will use. But party leaders plan to use rules allowing the Senate to pass changes to the health care bill with a simple majority, not the 60 votes ordinarily necessary to break a filibuster. Congressional majorities from both parties have used the procedure, called "reconciliation," 22 times since 1981, including to pass tax cuts proposed by President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003, according to a Congressional Research Service report.
To get to that point, the House first has to pass the Senate health care bill — which contains provisions that some House Democrats don't support. So, rather than pass the Senate bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has said her chamber may deem the Senate bill law by House rules and then pass the reconciliation bill. That would allow the House to approve the Senate version without directly voting on it.
Both parliamentary procedures are uncommon but not against congressional rules.
The ad also doesn't specify what "health care costs" will rise. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has projected that health care insurance premiums will remain largely unchanged for most people who get health insurance through their employers. Those who buy their health insurance individually rather than through an employer's plan could see premiums rise by up to 13%, largely because the law would require more comprehensive coverage, the CBO says. But most of them would qualify for subsidies that would cover more than half of their premiums' costs.
The net costs of the bill's insurance coverage provisions would be $624 billion in the next decade, CBO predicts, mostly because of higher enrollment in Medicaid and the costs of operating health insurance exchanges where people can buy insurance. The CBO estimates the plan's cost savings and new taxes and fees would reduce the federal deficit by $118 billion by 2019.
Where the ads are playing
The ad began airing Wednesday on national cable television and local stations in 17 states, including Colorado, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, U.S. Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Blair Latoff said. Local versions target specific members of Congress, Latoff said. She said the chamber is spending from $4 million to $10 million on the ads, which will run through Saturday.
Americans United for Change ad
The progressive advocacy group Americans United for Change is running new TV and radio ads urging members of Congress to support President Obama's health care legislation. The ads will air through Thursday.
The TV ad script
Narrator: Next week, Congress can make history by voting to make health care a right. President Obama's plan would rein in exploding insurance rates (and) prevent insurance giants from denying coverage when you're sick. And holding down health care costs will help create jobs.
President Obama: The special interests are marshalling their forces for one last fight to save the status quo, and we can't let that happen. That is why I am asking you to summon the energy and commitment and the drive that has fueled this movement since day one.
Narrator: Call Congress to make your voice heard now.
The images
The 30-second ad shows black-and-white images of the U.S. Capitol and crowds of people standing in lines, presumably waiting for medical care and looking for work. It ends with a clip of Obama, speaking by video on March 5 to Organizing for America.
Reality check
It is true that the legislation would prevent insurance companies from denying people coverage based on pre-existing medical conditions. But the other statements in the ad — that the bill would rein in the cost of insurance, hold down health care costs and create jobs — are either inaccurate or overblown.
• On insurance rates, there's nothing in the bill that would require insurance companies to lower their rates and it's not clear that they would do so. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that for the 83% of people who get health insurance through work, there would be little change in their premiums.
• On health care costs, there is little agreement about whether the legislation would reduce overall costs. Some factors — such as out-of-pocket expenses and the cost of prescription drugs — are not addressed in the bill. Spending might increase early on when millions are added to the health care system but increases could level off or drop after several years.
The CBO in January reported that the Senate version of the legislation, which is similar to Obama's, would provide a $118 billion net reduction in federal deficits over the coming decade.
PolitiFact.com, an online politics and policy fact-checking project run by the St. Petersburg Times, says Obama's contention that his bill would cut costs is true when it comes to premiums and reducing the deficit, though the gains are modest. "When it comes to cutting health care expenditures, it's a little trickier," the project says.
• On creating jobs, Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have said the legislation will create new jobs, but there's little evidence to support their claims.
PolitiFact.com says it is "nearly impossible to quantify with any certainty how many jobs will be created — or lost — from health care reform."
Where the ads are playing
The ads will air on stations with predominantly black viewers and listeners, in part to sway lawmakers who might have concerns about the impact of a vote on their re-election. The TV ads are running on the BET network. The radio ads will air on Tom Joyner's nationally syndicated programs and on stations in Chicago and Quad Cities, Ill.; Detroit; Norfolk, Va.; St. Louis; Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo and Akron, Ohio; Charlotte, Greenville, Fayetteville, Raleigh and Wilmington, N.C.; Louisville; Pittsburgh; Binghamton and Rochester, N.Y.

Restriction endonuclease analysis of purified viral DNA was used to study the molecular epidemiologic characteristics of cytomegalovirus infection in 18 patients having bone marrow transplantation. Four patients who had had asymptomatic excretion of cytomegalovirus in urine before transplantation subsequently developed a cytomegalovirus infection after transplantation (pneumonia in 2 patients, fever and viremia in 1 patient, and asymptomatic viruria in 1 patient). In each patient, the infection that developed after transplantation was caused by a cytomegalovirus strain genetically identical to the isolate detected in urine before transplantation. Cytomegalovirus isolates from different sites (buffy coat, lung, and urine) of the same patient were also identical, but cytomegalovirus isolates from different patients were never identical. Our results suggest that some cytomegalovirus infections after bone marrow transplantation may be caused by strains present before transplantation. The great structural and genetic variability of cytomegalovirus isolates must be considered in the development of effective diagnostic and immunoprophylactic measures for infection after marrow transplantation.

DETROIT - Power-hitting first baseman Prince Fielder, who said it was "a dream come true," was introduced Thursday by the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park after finalizing a $214 million, nine-year contract, the fourth-largest deal in baseball history.
"I just never thought this could happen," said the son of former Tigers slugger Cecil Fielder.
Fielder recalled hanging around Tiger Stadium when his father played for Detroit.
"For me, it was always Sparky saying I was going to pinch-hit - and I really believed him," Fielder said, referring to former managerSparky Anderson. "I'm just glad I get to come back."
With Detroit desperate to win its first World Series title since 1984, the big first baseman will combine with Miguel Cabrera to give the Tigers perhaps the most formidable Nos. 3-4 hitters in the major leagues. But with Cabrera shifting to third, it also will give Detroit a potentially troublesome defense at the infield corners.

Koh Rong (Khmer: កោះរ៉ុង, also romanized as Kaôh Rōng or Kos Rong), is the second largest island of Cambodia. The word Rong might refer to an old term for cave or tunnel (Khmer: រូង — rong ),[1] although some islanders say Rong refers to a historical person's name. It can also refer to the old Khmer word for shelter, adding up to Shelter Island.
Located in Commune (Sangkat) No. 5, or Sangkat Koh Rong of the Mittakpheap district in Sihanoukville Province about 25 km (16 mi) off the coast in the Gulf of Thailand, the island has an area of approximately 78 km2 (30 sq mi) and 43 km (27 mi) of its entire coastline of 61 km (38 mi) are beaches.[2] Four village communities exist on the island: Koh Tuich, Doeum D'keuw, Prek Svay and Sok San. In recent years the island has become home to an increasing but still moderate number of foreign-run guesthouses and bungalow resorts. As the island's South-Eastern tip around Koh Tuich Village is the point of arrival it has developed into the island's largest settlement center. in absence of even the most basic infrastructure, transport by boat is required to all settlements and holiday resorts, which are scattered all over the many beaches.[3]
Koh Rong island is a relatively new commune, only established in 2000.[4] In order to boost development, Koh Rong has had a land concession issued by the Cambodian government. A Cambodian consortium, the Royal Group has been granted a 99-year lease. In 2008 it has revealed plans to build "Asia's first environmentally planned resort island."
Koh Rong is the biggest of the islands off the coast of Sihanoukville in the Gulf of Thailand. It stretches from south-east to north-west, is roughly elongate shaped and it encompasses an area of 78 km2 (30 sq mi). The terrain is predominantly hilly with a sizable mountain 316 m (1,037 ft) at the island's north-west. The hills provide water for countless creeks and estuaries. The island's interior is almost completely forested, concealing a number of seasonal waterfalls. Koh Rong has around 43 km (27 mi) of delicate beaches. There are no less than 23 beaches of varying length and coloration—from (predominantly) white to beige to rose-colored sands—along most of the coastline. Bays, protruding capes and impressive sandstone rock formations contribute to the island's scenic panorama. The southern coastline—exposed to the weather and open sea, is particularly spectacular, whereas the eastern coast, which faces towards the land, is characterized by a sequence of smooth hills, gently sloping towards the numerous crescent-shaped beaches, inlets and bays. Several small islets and many reefs provide an abundance of natural environments for a great variety of marine life. The center of the island is a flat "belt" of sediments that joins the two hilly massifs of the south-east and north-west. Here is a small savanna—the result of human activities and cultivation.[5]
Although most of the island's surface is still covered in forest, many years of illegal logging have seriously affected the quality and health of the jungle. Huge, old and slow-growing hardwood trees have become rare, the original arboreal variety is vanishing and gradually being replaced by commercial mono cultures, such as coco and oil palms, in particular along the coast and in the lowlands.
Tiny Koh Tuich island lies off the South-East and the twin islands of Koh Bong-Po'own or Koh Song-Saa lie off the North-East of Koh Rong. To its South lies the uninhabited island of Koh Koun, followed by Koh Rong Sanloem island. These five islands comprise the Sangkat Koh Rong or Commune 5 of Mittakpheap District.[6]
No recorded and administered settlements existed on Koh Rong island prior to 2000. From 1960 to 1975, the island was managed and governed by two institutions, the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port and the Navy authority. No one lived on Koh Rong island during the Pol Pot regime (1975–1979) and there were no organized fishing activities. The site was governed by the Navy authority for five miles around the island during 1979 to 2000.
Since 2000 the Department of Fisheries is the principal government agency responsible for management of living aquatic resources. It cooperates with local authorities, communities, local fishers, and NGOs, to manage and conserve the resources.[7][8]
Henri Mouhot on his way from Bangkok to Kampot—a day and a half before arrival, in Travels in the Central Parts of Indo-China, 1864:
I soon forgot the miseries of the first part of our voyage, and was amply recompensed by the shifting scenes of beauty presented to us by the group of islands we were passing.[9]
Settlements and infrastructure[edit]
There are four distinguishable villages on Koh Rong—Koh Tuich Village in the south-east, Prek Svay and Doeum D'keuw in the east and north-east and Sok San Village in the north-west.[10] Most local residents live from fishing (70%) and small scale crop cultivation (30%), although an increasing number has found jobs in the quickly growing tourism sector. This is particularly true for Koh Tuich Village, where tourist businesses currently outnumber residential homes.[11]
Apart from narrow paths in the jungle—many of these are dead ends that had been created by illegal loggers—there exists absolutely no road network. The islands interior remains non-populated, villages and holiday resorts are confined to the coast and the beaches. Conveniently all transport goes via sea routes. As of 2016[update], local residents and visitors can take advantage of a well-functioning ferry network.
Extensive road clearings do foreshadow the island's future as a major tourist destination, yet as the developer's Chinese investment partner has dropped out of the team, funding remains uncertain.[12] The Ministry of Tourism has expressed indirect discontent and is likely to cancel development licenses, if these important islands are left undeveloped.[13]
In September 2012 the island was hooked up with the internet to Sihanoukville on the main land. The Royal Group dropped a fiber-glass cable in the gulf's waters—a distance of almost 30 kilometers. Still, none of the infrastructural projects are yet under way and according to The Phnom Penh Post: "plans are foggy".[14]
The island has also played host to the popular reality program, Survivor. In 2012, Koh-Lanta; the French edition of the program, produced a special All Star edition (titled Koh-Lanta: Revenge of the Heros) on Koh Rong, near Sok San village. Production returned to the island in 2013 for a regular edition (Koh-Lanta: Cambodia), however production ended abruptly after the death of a contestant.[15] More recently, the American edition of Survivor produced Season 31 (Survivor: Cambodia—Second Chance) and 32 (Survivor: Kaôh Rōng—Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty) of the program on Koh Rong over the course of four months between March and July 2015.[16] The sixteenth edition of Expedition Robinson, Sweden's Survivor, was also filmed on Koh Rong.

Feds are helping TABC investigate someone trying to extort North Texas liquor sellers
If you're a bar or restaurant owner who recently received a missive from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission claiming you've been busted for selling booze to the underage or the inebriated, fret not: It's not real — especially if that very same letters offers to forget all about that violation in exchange for $500 on a cash card.
Hard to believe someone thought they could get away with it, especially once you see the letter below branded with the logo of something called "The Eagle Eye Shield," which is not a real thing. But the TABC says retailers in Dallas-Fort Worth, Arlington and Houston have received what the TABC's classifying as a "suspected extortion scam." And that's why the TABC is teaming up with the United States Postal Inspection Service — "to identify the culprits," says the TABC's spokesperson, Chris Porter.
Porter says investigators first learned about the scam in October.
Retailer in Dallas-Fort Worth "reported receiving letters claiming that a third-party observer had witnessed violations of the Alcoholic Beverage Code at that retailer's business," Porter says in a release. "The letters went on to state that those alleged violations would be reported to TABC unless the business owner/operator agreed to pay $500 using an anonymous cash-card payment."
Which should have been the immediate, obvious clue that the letters weren't real. Like, at all. Continue reading

Foods should be labeled for GMOsApril 17,2014
I am in support of GMO labeling. In fact, it is interesting to me that there should be so much controversy over something so basic as knowing what is in our food. There is a precedent with kosher foods. They are labeled, and the Jewish population is given a choice when selecting their food.
GMO ingredients are increasingly present in our food, yet the federal Food and Drug Administration doesn't test for the safety of GMOs; the agency instead relies on tests done by the food industry. If you would like to know about some concerns with GMOs, there are many scientific organizations that will give you more information such as the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Since there is no consensus in the research about the safety of GMOs, and since the federal government has not done any long-term tests to examine the effects on human consumption, I am pleased that our state has decided to seriously look into labeling because of our legislators' concern for our health. It is just one more way in which Vermont will be living up to its national reputation for high quality food.

Sure thing... Reserved for three days. c: If you need more time, just say so before the fourth day and I'll reset my mental timer. This is just to prevent the last spot from being reserved for too long incase someone reserves and just forgets the roleplay exists.
Added in the Swamplands and another new area I call The Dead Forest. It's called that because it's a small section of The Forest in which almost all of the trees are dead. The swamplands are dangerous because of the high rate of disease and how easy it is for pokemon to sneak up on you through the murky water.
The Dead Forest has some background to it. If one of our characters goes asking around, you can have them get told about said background, as it's public knowledge.
The reason the trees are dead is a mystery. They just are, as far as anyone knows. More interestingly, Occasionally people go missing in that part of the forest, never to be seen again. Rumor has it that a murderer might be hiding there. Supporting this rumor is occasional police activity in the area. Also interestingly, ghost pokemon seem to be attracted to that section of the forest, and have driven all other type of pokemon out. The forest is described as having a disturbing aura about it.
Staff are obligated to advise students not to go The Dead Forest, but a student can enter anyways if they wish.
(The Dead Forest has a random encounter boss in it, which is a term I'm using to describe especially strong pokemon / trainers now. You must ask if you want that encounter.)
The rules have been updated, especially regarding leveling and whatnot. Readzor!
Also, I prettied up the page whoo hoo!
Also, I fixed up the Available Classes section as it didn't make sense to me to list the teachers and have the actual classes in spoilers instead of the other way around.
Edit: That would appear to be all the major updates for now. I'm still thinking of more locations and or wild pokemon though, so I'll let you guys know if I actually think of anything.

Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards Fighting Again
Brooke Mueller says Charlie Sheen is awesome.
Denise Richards does not share that sentiment.
Brooke Mueller says Charlie Sheen is awesome.
Denise Richards does not share that sentiment.
Some celebrity gossip you just never see coming.
Like Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock calling it quits.
Just as it appears Prince William is about to tie the knot, and Rupert Friend may finally suck it up and pop the question to Keira Knightley... another celebrity couple is finalizing its divorce.
We don't even know where to begin with jokes involving blondes and/or breasts, so we'll just cut to the chase. The lovely Denise Richards and Pamela Anderson tease it out on the Vancouver, British Columbia, set of their forthcoming Dumb and Dumber-inspired buddy comedy, Blonde and Blonder.
Sometimes, the best thing for a dysfunctional family to do is hang out as if nothing ever went wrong. And for the cheating, drug-addicted, porn-loving, bastard of an ex-husband to bring along his new girlfriend. No -- actually this is not a post about Sara Evans, believe it or not.
See, kids, this is how you work out a marital dispute. It may have taken Denise Richards a few weeks to figure it out, but restraining orders are rarely the answer.
Denise Richards will appear nude in the upcoming August issue of Jane magazine, but unlike her famous threesome scene in Wild Things, this is for a good cause.
The actress is bearing all to support the Clothes Off Our Back charitable foundation, which benefits various children's charities, such as UNICEF and Cure Autism Now, through online auctions of celebrity attire.
We'll say this for Denise Richards: she's not afraid to talk about her crazy love life. As she tells People, Charlie Sheen's ex is trying to move on by selling the Westlake Village home she bought last year.
Is it a coincidence that the 7,400-sq.-ft., six-bedroom house that Richards is leaving also happens to be around the corner from Heather Locklear? You know, the former pal whose husband she's now tanging on a regular basis?
According to Denise Richards, you can't help who you fall for.
"You can't help who you fall for," said Richards about her romance with Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora.

Iowa rolls past Gents
CROWLEY – Two early errors led to four unearned runs and the Crowley Gents were never able to recover in a 9-1 loss to the Iowa Yellow Jackets Tuesday evening at Miller Stadium.
"Iowa is ranked No. 2 for a reason and we knew that coming in," said CHS coach Christian Doughty, whose team fell to 10-13 overall and 2-6 in District 4-3A play with the loss. "We had some miscues early on and it's hard to fall behind to a ballclub like that and then try to come back when you're facing a really good arm."
Yellow Jacket hurler Justin DeMary made a comeback virtually impossible. He limited the Gents to just one run by scattering five hits and striking out six in seven innings.
DeMary sat the Gents down in order on strikes in the second inning, all three looking, and struck out the first two batters in the third frame before Jon Riley Mouton rifled a single up the middle for Crowley's first hit of the game.
"We stood up there early in the game and took several third strikes and you just can't win like that," said Doughty. "He (DeMary) did such a good job early on throwing his breaking ball for that first pitch strike so he worked ahead most of the night."
Iowa took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a single by DeMary and an RBI single to right field by Austin Theriot.
The Yellow Jackets added to the lead in the second frame by scoring four runs on three hits, a walk and two Crowley errors. DeMary had an RBI single in the frame and Gabe Roberts drove in a pair of runs on a two-out triple.
Garrett Dartez added an RBI double in the top of the fifth inning and Brad Whittington drove home a run to push the Jackets' lead to 7-0.
Crowley broke up the shutout bid in the bottom of the fifth when Kaleb Istre doubled to center field and scored on a single by pinch hitter Christian Breaux.
Iowa added two more runs in the sixth inning on three walks, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Dartez.
The Gents led off the bottom of the seventh with back-to-back hits by Alex Ashby and Mickey Morgan.
The rally was short lived, however. Pate Broussard followed with a flyout and Istre grounded out into a game-ending double play.
"I was proud of the fact that we kept battling," said Doughty. "I'm not disappointed. We knew that we were going to have our hands full and like I told the guys, we don't have time to hang our heads because we have some big ballgames left."
The Gents will travel to South Beauregard today for a 6 p.m. contest. They will round out district play on Saturday at Jennings before closing out the regular season at home on Monday against Opelousas Catholic.

General Motors has introduced a new technology that helps paint stick to plastic vehicle parts, eliminating the use of primers that contain polluting solvents. Use of the new technology reduced solid and liquid waste from 48 tons a year to less than one; decreased air pollutants from 810 tons a year to 80 tons a year; and eliminated landfill waste from 25 tons to nearly zero. GM also reports that the capital investment paid for itself in less than four months. CSC, a technology solutions company, will host a Sustainability Executive Forum on September 18th in Nashville.

Pathfinder's advocacy is focused on improving the US and global political environment for sexual and reproductive health programs. As part of our work, Pathfinder provides timely information to policymakers and key constituencies about the importance of sexual and reproductive health services. Pathfinder utilizes research findings, data, and programmatic expertise to advocate for policies and budgeting decisions that promote the best public health practices.
Pathfinder has three key areas of advocacy work:
US Advocacy
In the United States, Pathfinder is known as one of the few US Government-supported organizations that actively promotes a progressive sexual and reproductive health and rights agenda. Using private donor support, Pathfinder advocates with US decision-makers for support of international family planning and reproductive health assistance.
Pathfinder has advocated for the reversal of harmful policies and when necessary, has challenged those policies. Pathfinder brought the US Government to court over restrictions put in place by the Global Gag Rule. The courts recognized the right for US-based nongovernmental organizations to use their private funds without any government interference. It also clarified that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is permitted to provide support for postabortion care services.
Pathfinder continues to stand strong in opposition to domestic efforts that constrain sexual and reproductive health and rights. This is particularly important since the United States is a leading donor for family planning and reproductive health programs worldwide. US foreign assistance policies-under which Pathfinder and our local partners operate-not only set the stage for US funding, but for other international commitments, as well.
Global Advocacy
Globally, advocacy is urgently needed to accelerate progress on delivering sexual and reproductive health services to the hardest to reach and most marginalized populations. In the first decade of the new millennium, sexual and reproductive health and rights-and especially family planning-suffered a loss of momentum in both funding and priority. It is just now catching up, but there is a long way to go. Pathfinder's leadership and active participation in multiple global coalitions and task forces enables us to amplify our voice to inform and influence multi-lateral institutions, such as the UN and World Bank, and to influence and advance the sexual and reproductive health and rights agenda.
Field Advocacy
Pathfinder's field advocacy is focused on supporting and mobilizing our field offices to advocate for better sexual and reproductive health and rights policies and programs within their respective countries. Pathfinder works to improve governmental policies and to support local civil society organizations to become engaged in and influence national and international policy debates. Field advocacy is crucial to improving the health and lives of the people Pathfinder serves in the countries where we work.

About Me & CV
First off: yes, that's my real last name. (That's usually the first question people ask me, especially out here where lots of people adopt a chosen island name for themselves.)
Always learning, discovering, sharing
I spent my seminal childhood years on a farm in northern California, while my adult life took place in the big cities of New York, San Francisco & Portland OR. Until I sold my house and most everything I owned for a year-long self-imposed sabbatical to reconnect with the slower natural pace and living things I knew & adored as a child. That sabbatical year has stretched into several – I've been living, working, traveling & exploring amongst the Salish Sea islands of Canada & Washington State ever since.
Modern nomad of the Salish Sea
Summer on The Big Island of San Juan with people, people, people and a maxed-out schedule. Most days you'll find me on daily boat tours educating people about Salish Sea plants, animals and ecosystems. From orcas to salmon to nudibranch, kelp forests & Douglas fir forests – how do all the pieces of the Salmon Nation watershed work together & how can we be better neighbors to our fellow creatures within this place we call home?
Some of my favorite subjects to learn about & discuss: salmon, eelgrass meadows, harbor seals, kelp forests, porpoise (harbor & dalls), tidepools, orca, island farms, humpback whales, coast Salish history, minke whales, off-grid living, river watersheds, eagles, common murres, nudibranch, jellyfish… You get the idea. I'm a nature nerd.
Saturdays I'm selling my Salish sea ecosystem-inspired artwork at the Friday Harbor Farmers Market on San Juan island, or (new in summer 2016!) you can find my art prints and notecards daily (and sometimes me) in a shared artisan kiosk at Roche Harbor Marina on the north end of San Juan island.
Whew. It's a breakneck schedule, but I love it. Makes me appreciate winter.
Gentle adventures in art & nature
Winters I satisfy my nomadic nature by holing up in various off-grid cabins on small islands, preferably with wild animals and semi-feral people for neighbors, mentors and muses. These are the months for hibernation, quiet reflection, close observations of discreet moments in nature, art making, sleeping, reading, cooking, chopping wood, stoking wood stove fires, hiking & kayaking in the rain. Sometimes in my PJs.
Simple seasonal living
Eventually I'd love to settle down on one island, in one community, on a particular bit of land and live out the rest of my days in tune with the natural world around me. That opportunity hasn't presented itself yet.
