When it comes to bullying, it's no longer just a boy's world " more and more girls are becoming aggressors and victims. A recent survey of sixth- and seventh-grade girls showed that almost one in three admitted to hitting someone as a form of bullying. What makes matters worse is girls are now turning to the Internet to cyber bully other young women, as well as post videos of some of their physical fights.
Tormented Teen
Rebekah, 14, writes to Dr. Phil: I have been bullied since I was in third grade, and it has never stopped. I am now going into ninth grade, and I am not looking forward to some of the nasty teenage girls I might be facing there. I was being bullied physically, mentally, emotionally and cyber. My grades plunged, and I wasn't feeling like I had anything to be here for in life. I hit a real rock bottom.
Dr. Phil and his son, Jay, speak with Rebekah and her mother, Peggy.
The Kind Campaign
Dr. Phil correspondent, Katie, 23, says she's familiar with both sides of the girl world. She spends a day with Rebekah to see how bullying affects her daily life. Then, Lauren and Molly were taunted while growing up and are now fighting back … with kindness. And, a former bully opens up about how she became a mean girl.
Plus, could you be encouraging bullying in your child?
Long-Term Scars
Sabrina, 22, says the bullying she endured from other girls growing up still affects her today. How can she let the pain go?
"I don't know if I've ever truly felt beautiful."
Threats on Video
Beth is the mother of a sixth-grade girl who was targeted in a cartoon video her classmates made called The Top Six Ways to Kill Piper. She joins the show via telephone.
How have the schools responded to Piper and Rebekah's reports?

Middle income groups
In the majority of advanced economies, the size of the middle-income group has been shrinking in the last decades, see Chapter 2, World of Work Report 2013.
This trend has been partly attributed to job polarization, but also public policy and institutional factors have been found to play an important role.

iHeartMedia and Creditors Still at Odds Over Asset Shift. According to a report from Bloomberg, iHeartMedia and a number of its creditors have broken off talks to try to resolve the rancor over iHeartMedia's shift of 100 million shares of Clear Channel Outdoor to a new subsidiary called Broader Media. Creditors including D. E. Shaw, Canyon Capital, Franklin Advisers and Franklin Mutual sued iHeartMedia over the move claiming that it violates the debt covenants. iHeartMedia argues that's not the case and the move is designed to allow the company to deal more effectively with its $20 billion in debt. iHeartMedia told a Texas judge that if the creditors' bond defaults are allowed to proceed, it would cause as much as $15 billion of the company's debt to come due quickly and that would force the company into bankruptcy protection. The creditors argue that is not what they are trying to accomplish. iHeartMedia SVP and treasurer Brian Coleman says the company's maneuvers are part of its Project Indigo, a long-term strategy designed to allow it to study ways to deal with its debt.
The Panama Papers, The Presidential Race/Wisconsin Primary, Iran Arms Shipment Case, North Korean Nuke Threats, Tennessee Bible Bill, and NCAA Championship Among Top News/Talk Stories Yesterday (4/4). The so-called "Panama Papers" that reportedly link numerous world leaders to schemes to hide wealth in off-shore accounts; the activities of the candidates for president and today's Wisconsin primary; the capture of illegal arms being shipped by Iran; the threats of nuclear attacks by North Korea; the controversial Tennessee bill that makes the Bible the official state book; and Monday evening's NCAA Men's Basketball championship were some of the most-talked-about stories on news/talk radio yesterday, according to ongoing research from TALKERS magazine.
Eric Zane Lands at Sports WBBL, Grand Rapids. After exiting the nationally syndicated "Free Beer and Hot Wings" show based at Townsquare Media's rock WGRD, Grand Rapids, Eric Zane has landed the morning show gig at Cumulus Media's crosstown sports talk WBBL, effective April 7. Zane officially left the show in mid-February after being absent from the program without explanation. It appears Zane's departure was the result of a contract dispute. Now, he'll compete in the Grand Rapids market directly with his former co-hosts Gregg "Free Beer" Daniels and Chris "Hot Wings" Michels. The "Free Beer and Hot Wings" show is syndicated nationally by Compass Media Networks.
Lineup at 'Altitude Sports' in Denver to Launch on Friday. The newest sports talk radio station in the Denver market will officially launch on Friday, April 8 – the home opener day for the Colorado Rockies. Much of the news about Stan Kroenke-owned KRWZ, Denver (recently purchased from Entercom) is not really news as it's been rumored and reported in the Denver media for some time. Here's the lineup: Josh Dover hosts "The Morning Lineup" from 6:00 am to 7:00 am; the morning show will feature Tom Helmer, Lauren Gardner (an Altitude TV reporter), and former Denver Nuggets star Scott Hastings. Middays will be hosted by Vic Lombardi and Kyle Keefe. The station will also carry play-by-play of the NBA's Nuggets, the NHL's Avalanche; the MLS' Colorado Rapids; and the National Lacrosse League's Colorado Mammoth.
Odds & Sods. There's been a morning show and midday program re-build at CBS RADIO's KHTK, Sacramento. Carmichael Dave is now joined by Kayte Christensen and former midday host Nate Goodyear.

Cool Job Opportunity. "PowerTalk 1360 and 1280" is searching for a local talk show host for afternoon drive in California's Central Valley. Applicants must have spoken-word experience. General necessities include a passionate, opinionated, outspoken, larger-than-life personality with decidedly conservative values, obsession for news, politics, pop culture, and sports. The ideal candidate will bring an intuitive understanding of the unique values, morals and issues of the California Central Valley and be in sync with those values and perspectives. You must have the ability to speak to the audience as one of them; put a voice to their thoughts and beliefs…much more important than professional polish or experience. In a perfect world you have spent time working in the Central Valley but you don't have to presently live in the Modesto/Stockton area. You will fully embrace the role of a LOCAL personality: specifically address and engage the LOCAL community issues, organizations, and interests, capitalize on endorsement opportunities, serve as station ambassador, be visible at all community functions, spearhead station and cluster community outreach. You must understand and dedicate your performance to the bottom line: your goals are ratings and unique visitors. See required skills and submit resume and demo here.

Mark Levin to Be Honored at CPAC. Nationally syndicated talk show host Mark Levin will receive the inaugural Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, March 6. According to a story on Breitbart.com's Big Journalism, Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow will introduce Citizens United president David Bossie, who will present the award to Levin along with Breitbart News president and CEO Larry Solov and Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon. Solov says, "Mark Levin fearlessly and passionately stands up for conservatives and everyday Americans whose voices the mainstream press often tries to marginalize or silence. And like Andrew Breitbart, Levin has a way of cutting through the mainstream press's filter with his words and is never afraid to have arrows slung at him by the institutional left on the front lines of the fight." David Bossie comments, "Levin is not only a friend, but supports and defends the vision of our Founding Fathers on his nationally syndicated radio program daily. There is nobody better to receive this inaugural award and I am happy that he will be joining us at CPAC to accept it." Levin's show is syndicated by Cumulus Media Networks.
Programming Additions at LFM's Denver Sports Outlets. At Lincoln Financial Media's Denver cluster, changes are taking place beginning Monday, March 3 that will put Fox Sports Radio/DirecTV's Dan Patrick on KKFN "104.3 The Fan," moving over from sister sports station KEPN "1600 The Zone." To make room, Sandy Clough leaves the 9:00 am to 12:00 noon slot where Patrick will air and joins Drew Goodman and Scott Hastings for the 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm show. Program director Nate Lundy states, "Like many in Denver, I'm a big fan of Dan Patrick. As we take the next step in our evolution, it only makes sense to bring the number one national personality to 'The Fan.' His perspective and top-level guests will further solidify our commitment to the best sports talk in town." KKFN is also debuting a new evening show called "The Fan Late Night with Ryan Edwards and Shawn Drotar" that is airing from 9:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. Lundy adds, "Sandy Clough has been part of The Fan's success for over 17 years and putting him alongside two other outstanding Denver sports veterans will make for a great show for our listeners. 'The Fan Late Night' will give fans of Denver's four major pro sports teams a chance to sound off as part of their postgame experience." Lundy says a new lineup on KEPN will be announced in the near future as Patrick's show transitions to "104.3 The Fan."
Michael Harrison Speaks at NRB 2014 in Nashville. TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison (c) participated as a keynote speaker yesterday afternoon (2/24) at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) conference in Nashville in a general session focused on "Values in American Popular Media." The presentation included an opening address by Harrison followed by a spirited panel discussion in which he was joined by DeVon Franklin, SVP of production, Columbia Tristar Pictures (l) and Russell Moore, president, Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (r). Harrison used the platform as an opportunity to espouse his personal and professional philosophy that the combination of vigilant community service and high ethical standards equate to good and successful business strategy in the media industries – especially radio. Harrison told the conference, "Radio of all formats – not just Christian specifically – should never miss an opportunity to be a hero and serve the true needs of humanity within its local, national and even global market reach. Why wait for a hurricane or natural disaster to suddenly go into emergency mode? Why limit our potential to just being the 'Sterno' of media? Day-to-day life provides a nonstop series of emergencies, pain, fear, sorrow and loss on a very human scale that we have the power to calm and alleviate in addition to providing our regular menus of music and talk entertainment, information and discussion. If we do this with sincerity and authenticity on a consistent level, the communities we serve will amply reward us with both ratings and financial support and the self-fulfilling prophecy about radio being a dying medium will be forestalled for decades to come." Harrison warned the crowd that "Christian and religious broadcasting has a head start on fulfilling this role because it is woven into the basic fabric of its service – however, in its passion and zeal to compete in the same marketplace of ideas and commerce co-occupied by secular media, it should be careful not to fall into the trap of stifling the First Amendment rights of dissenting voices and lifestyles nor succumb to the present-day widespread practice to seeking victory at the expense of truth for commercial and political advantage."
Steven Meyers Heads Digital Strategy at Greater Media. This is a promotion for Steven Meyers who joined Greater Media Philadelphia in 2012 as digital manager. Now, in this new director of digital strategy role for all of Greater Media, he will be responsible for helping to grow Greater Media's audiences and revenue by developing new digital platforms that deepen listener engagement while providing new opportunities to the company's commercial partners. He comments, "Greater Media understands that 'digital' isn't just a separate line of business, but a foundational component of our brand experiences and client value. I'm very excited to become a larger part of shaping that vision." Greater Media CEO Peter Smyth adds, "We look forward to having Steve share his valuable knowledge and insight with our teams as we continue to grow and drive our company's interactive efforts into the future."

Political Talkers Take Stock of Positioning in Post-Election Environment. Contrary to the stereotype often depicted by the mainstream and political press that news/talk radio hosts all fit a standard model, TALKERS magazine observes that this is hardly the case – especially now that the all-consuming election of 2012 is in the history books and political talk show hosts are assessing their personal position strategies for the new chapter of history at hand. Actually this is a process that has been in play for several years and not exactly a brand new trend sparked by the election. Key players such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Jerry Doyle, Rusty Humphries and Michael Smerconish have had significantly different takes on the conservative side of the dial as have hosts the likes of Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller and Alan Colmes been diverse in their approaches from the left. However, recently concluded elections – especially presidential contests – have a way of making talent in this arena reassess and reflect upon their strategies. Read the rest of this story here.

Chryst Interviews - Saturday News and Notes
Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst came to Pittsburgh to meet with Pitt officials and interview for the head coaching job.
Chryst is the third known candidate to meet with Pitt - the other two are, of course, Mario Cristobal and Luke Fickell, and he, to me, is the most intriguing one for this reason - he may be the best football coach of the three in terms of X's and O's but he appears to be the guy who has the furthest to go to sell himself because he is not described as a dynamic or exciting personality.
But as one Pitt official said to me when this process began "because of what we've been through we're not likely to win the press conference this time around, nor should we try. We just need to get the right football coach in here."
Chryst interviewed for the job in January - this would have been post-Haywood and pre-Graham - and he really didn't knock the committee's socks off but he is back for three reasons....
1.) He has received some big endorsements, including Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, who reached out to Jerry Cochran and Steve Pederson to let them know that Chryst was indeed ready to be a head coach. Chryst has been a coordinator now for long enough and has proven himself and has matured to the point where, it is time for him to be a head coach.
2.) He proved again this year that he is excellent at X's and O's and adapting to the Badgers talent as he molded an offense around the talents of Russell Wilson at quarterback and all the Badgers did was average about 470 yards of offense and about 47 points per game. Wilson threw for 31 touchdowns and only three touchdowns.
3.) He has an excellent reputation in terms of being as sraight-laced as they come and he is also known to be very loyal and thus, he isn't likely to do the "Todd Graham shuffle" and leave the first time someone comes down the pike to throw him some money or whatever.
** It appears that Northern Illinois Dave Doeren is not going to be a candidate and here is why - he has only been there one year and Pitt doesn't want to be viewed as hypocrital after torching Graham on his way out the door for doing the same thing (leaving after year). I don't know that I agree completely because nobody would hold it against Doeren for making this move, especially if it is done the right way, but I do know these are sensitive times for Pitt, which is obviously shaken after this past year of debacles. That philosophy would seem to eliminate another guy who people keep asking about - Vanderbilt's James Franklin - as he has only been there for a year and Vanderbilt made a significant financial investment in him.
This is where we stand at this point, three known candidates and at least two which have come to Pittsburgh, so if there isn't anyone else on the list to interview, perhaps we could be closing in on an offer, someone getting hired and the start of a new era of Pitt football- for only the sixth time in a year.....
** Graham announced some hirings and while it doesn't mean a thing to us for the most part, at least two of them should be of interest. One is Chris Ball who was Pitt's secondary coach in 2007 and then left for Washington State. The other is Bob Connelly who was UCLA's offensive line coach this year, which would mean, perhaps Pitt offensive line coach Spencer Leftwhich, who came with Graham from Tulsa, may have to find another spot to land.
Also, Pitt interim coach Keith Patterson, who is expected to at least talk to Steve Pederson about taking the job permanently so he is technically the fourth candidate, is likely to land at Arizona State but he is expected to look at some other opportunities first.

Dakar, Senegal,
10-12 December 2008
Final Call for Papers:
The various systems of social hierarchy that have existed historically in Muslim West and North Africa have generated a distinct set of ideological justifications for inequality. The meanings ascribed to positions of social inferiority, including that of slaves, or to wider issues of difference more broadly, appear at times to be "racial" in nature. Ideas of social hierarchy and "racial" difference were often developed within a larger Muslim semantic framework. The region's history of European colonial conquest has also shaped these concepts. In order to generate discussion of these understudied topics, the Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought in Africa (ISITA), the Harriet Tubman Institute and the Pôle d'Excellence Régional sur les Esclavages et les Traites, Université Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD), invite paper proposals for a workshop on historical constructions of "race" and social hierarchy in Muslim West and North Africa.
Papers should focus on a specific historical and geographic context and use specific and concrete primary sources to explore the relationship between at least two of the following three themes:
1) "race" (notions and practices that invoke innate human difference in some way);
2) social hierarchy (slavery, servility, dependence, clientage, "caste");
3) religion (Islam).
Possible paper topics include, but are NOT limited to, the following:
1) the ways in which West and North Africans have historically defined social inferiority (servility, "caste," slavery) in terms of "racial" difference;
2) the historical meanings of such color-coded binary terms in local languages such as bidan/sudan, wodeebe/baleebe, or korey/bibi;
3) Muslim scholarly discourse about racial or ethnic difference;
4) Muslim scholarly discourse about slavery and/or emancipation;
5) the religious experiences of Muslim slaves;
6) the racial or ethnic identities of slaves and former slaves and/or masters and former masters.
Papers should address these themes in the context of a defined case study. They should be based on original research focused on specific and concrete primary sources from the region. These sources may be oral or written; they may be in African (including Arabic) or European languages. Selected participants will be asked to provide both papers (in French or English) and selected primary source material (with translation or synopsis in French or English), so that they can be circulated to all participants before the workshop.
The workshop will be held in Dakar, Senegal, between 10-12 December 2008. The goal of the meeting is to create linkages and generate discussion among researchers (particularly African researchers) with interests in these neglected topics. The sponsors will also work to publish an edited volume or a special journal issue based on the proceedings of the conference.
Paper proposals must be submitted by September 22, 2008 to be considered. They should be sent as Microsoft Word email attachments to the conference organizers, Bruce Hall (email@example.com), Jeremy Berndt (email@example.com), Yacine Daddi Addoun (firstname.lastname@example.com).

"What a showoff!" teammate Hal Gill chirped.
Timonen laughed.
He was proud of the latest addition to his Olympic medal collection, to go along with two other bronze (2010, 1998) and one silver (2006) decorations. This one meant a little more than the rest.
"I kept reading that some of you [media] thought we didn't have a chance," Timonen said, just about as fiery as he can be during press conferences. "I'll show you the medal. Maybe you'll change your mind."

The body of Woogie, a cross between a Yorkshire terrier and a poodle, was found about 3 a.m. Sunday by firefighters responding to the report of a trash fire in the 300 block of Coates Street, police said. The dog had been coated with an accelerant and wrapped in trash bags. Preliminary necropsy results showed that the dog was asphyxiated before being set on fire.

Etches Vs. Staining
The rest of all "stains" are really etches and these are relegated to marble and stones that are really marble, but sometimes sold as quartzite (ie: Super White, Brown Fantasy and other stones that sell really well when you tell the customer it is a quartzite when in fact it is an etch- able marble!). Etches are not stains, but are in fact damaged areas due to a chemical reaction between the calcium in the stone and the acidic liquid that has physically converted the stone. This is not a stain and not going to come out or be repaired easily or inexpensively. Light etching can sometimes be removed by hand with commercially available etch removal kits while deep etches required special equipment, lots of water and highly skilled and experienced stone personal to physically remove enough stone to remove the etched surface.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
If you're not in the mood to cook or steal your roommate's food, off-campus dining around ASU is quite exceptional considering the price ranges are pretty lax on the typical college student's wallet. There are plenty of dining options outside of campus that would surely please anyone's taste buds. There are so many great restaurants along Mill Avenue, McClintock Road, University Road, College Avenue, and Rural Road that offer a variety of foods according to your interests. If the weather is perfect, which it almost always is, Tempe Marketplace also has plenty of places to choose from that will satisfy your hunger. Many of these locations are easily accessible by foot, and you can hit many of these between classes in case the Memorial Union just isn't cutting it. Many of the local hot spots include The Chuckbox's infamous burgers, Dilly's Deli, America's Taco Shop, and several more. You will just have to try all of these joints at your own time and believe you will be going back!
A lot of the locations along Mill Avenue are great eateries during the day and sweet college hangouts by night. In case your family is in town, take them to a nice restaurant that will allow you all to catch up with one another—a favorite for these occasions is Z'Tejas, a Mexican restaurant. If you're on a date, there are plenty of great options, such as Old Scottsdale, where there are several posh restaurants of all flavors. For more organic/vegan eats, there are a few locations around campus that serve vegetarian food, including Cornish Pasty Co. and Udupi Cafe. Due to a surplus of food, affordable prices, and convenience, Tempe and the local ASU area is a great area to find a bite to eat!

By HAROLD M. SCHMECK Jr.
Published: October 21, 1986
THE revolutionary discovery of a hormone made by the human heart is scarcely two years old, but it has already spawned a whole new field of reseach as scientists begin to understand the substance's natural role and investigate ways of using it to treat heart disease, high blood pressure and kidney failure.
Specialists who study heart and kidney function are fascinated by what they have already learned about the hormone. It helps dispose of excess sodium in the blood and thus seems to play a role in regulating the amount of salt in the body. It appears to act as a counterbalance to other vital hormones in governing blood volume and pressure. It is present in large amounts in the blood of patients who suffer from congestive heart failure and certain kinds of abnormally fast, irregular heartbeats. In animal experiments even small amounts of the hormone gave powerful aid to the functioning of failing kidneys.
The heart hormone is being studied all over the world, and many drug companies are hard at work trying to adapt it for use as a drug. Indeed major companies, working with doctors at hospitals here and abroad, are already testing the hormone in humans. It has been the subject of thousands of scientific reports and several conferences, including a large international meeting held earlier this year in New York under joint chairmanship of Dr. John H. Laragh of New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and Dr. Barry Brenner of Harvard Medical School.
One of the most fascinating new discoveries concerning the hormone has been the powerful effects that minute amounts can produce. ''The doses are so low you can barely see shifts in the blood levels,'' said Dr. Philip Needleman of Washington University in St. Louis. ''It is quite stunning.''
Dr. Laragh said he had never seen ''a single subject so intensively studied.'' One reason for the intense interest, he said, is that the concept of the heart as a hormone-producing organ is revolutionary.
''I think the astonishing thing about this hormone, that all studies are showing, is that within minutes of its secretion by the heart it reduces the blood volume,'' Dr. Laragh said. The effect of this reduction in circulating blood is to reduce sharply the workload on the heart.
Several related actions seem to bring about the reduction in volume, Dr. Laragh said. Fluid leaks selectively from the capillaries into the tissues.Blood vessels seem to relax and blood pressure falls. The kidneys begin to filter the blood at an accelerated rate and to release more salt into the urine. Salt acts to maintain proper blood volume, but in some people an excess can increase both volume and pressure.
Dr. Laragh said the hormone's actions appeared to be like those of several different classes of drugs used against high blood pressure, which help excrete salt from the body, blocks hormones such as renin and aldosterone that tend to keep blood pressure up and appears to relax blood vessels.
Because the field of study is so new, scientists differ over the hormone's precise effects, over what triggers its release and over the central issue of what its normal functions may be in the human body. They note that the hormone is just one newfound substance in a complex system of blood regulation involving many hormones and enzymes.
Some believe it is in play continuously to help maintain the proper balance of pressure and volume in the circulating blood. Others suspect it may come into major action more selectively in the face of disease or some emergency that distorts the fluid flow and pressure of the blood.
In either case, scientists say, it might be possible to mobilize the hormone's actions for medical needs or to produce related substances that could be used as drugs. Many drug companies here and abroad, scientists say, are active in research on the hormone, including Wyeth Laboratories; the Monsanto Company working with Searle Laboratories; Merck Sharp & Dohme; Smith Kline & French Laboratories, and one or more Japanese drug companies.
The wealth of new research by many scientists is aimed at applications and also at better understanding of the hormone's natural role.
While two years ago it was unclear whether there was one such heart hormone or several in humans, scientists now agree there is almost certainly one substance produced primarily in the atria, the heart's two upper chambers of the heart.
In an inactive form, the hormone is apparently stored in granules in the tissues of the atria. The existence of these granules has long been known, and 20 years ago, Dr. George Palade, Nobel-prize-winning scientist at Yale, noted that their appearance suggested they might contain a hormone. It took many years to find it. In its active form, the hormone, which circulates throughout the body, is a relatively small chain of 28 amino acids chopped from a much larger molecule by some still-undiscovered enzyme. The biological function of the rest of the molecule is unknown.
Chains of amino acids are called peptides. Consequently the hormone is known as an atrial peptide, but different scientific teams that have been pioneers in studying it have given the hormone a variety of different names. The research group at Cornell and New York Hospital have named it auriculin. Drs. Needleman and James E. Greenwald of Washington University, St. Louis, call it atriopeptin. Dr. Adolpho J. de Bold, who is credited with the original discovery, calls it cardionatrin.

Staff REports
A three-run, two-out rally in the bottom of the sixth inning allowed the nationally fifth-ranked USC Aiken baseball team to obtain a 3-1 victory over Shepherd on Friday afternoon at Roberto Hernandez Stadium.
Down 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth, USCA's Ben Donath, a South Aiken product, singled through the left side to tie the game up at 1-1.
Bill Gerstenslager then doubled down the right field line to score two more runs for the Pacers.
The three runs proved to be all the Pacers would need in their eventual two-run win.
USCA (6-1) and Shepherd (0-1) each finished the game with six hits.
Gerstenslager was the only Pacer with multiple hits. He ended his afternoon 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
Chad Murphy led Shepherd in its season opener with two hits.
Four Pacer pitchers combined to record nine strikeouts.
USCA starter Ryan Milewski claimed the win on the hill. Milewski pitched six innings, striking out five.
Pacer closer and Midland Valley grad Taylor Grover acquired his second save of the year in the contest by pitching a scoreless ninth. He struck out two in the frame.
Shepherd starter Paul Hvozdovic suffered the loss in the game. He struck out four, while allowing the three Pacer runs in his six innings on the mound.
USCA and Shepherd will continue their three-game series with a 1 p.m. game today. The series will close with a 1 p.m. contest on Sunday.

The sixth man is every championship contending NBA team's unsung hero.
When the starters are struggling, he's the first one to step up and take on the role of righting the team.
He's got to be able to score in a variety of ways, while passing, rebounding and playing defense—basically anything the team needs of him.
At times, the sixth man is even more valuable than some starters, and the men on this list all make an impact on their respective teams.
Who are the best sixth men in the game?

10 Best Cancun Hotels That Won't Break the Bank
By Kristin Busse
Cancún Local Expert
There are so many resorts in Cancun, most of which are pretty expensive. If you're searching for a place to stay but you don't want to pay top dollar, don't worry, Cancun also has plenty of budget-friendly lodging options.
In Cancun the vast majority of hotels and resorts are on the beach and shopping malls, restaurants and nightclubs are just a short bus or taxi ride away. For the most part choosing a budget hotel means you will not have as many in-room amenities, restaurants or facilities at the resort. However for most budget-conscious travelers, this is a small price to pay, no pun intended.
Some budget priced hotels are all-inclusive properties, which makes them even more of a value, since meals and drinks are included. In addition, you never have to carry your wallet when you're on the all-inclusive plan nor do you have to worry about having a large outstanding bill when it's time to check-out.
Hotels in downtown Cancun, like the Adhara Hacienda Cancun and the Krystal Urban Cancun-Malecon are economical because they are not located on the beach. However they are near shopping, restaurants and bars and they are only about a 10 - 15 minute bus or taxi ride from the Hotel Zone and its white sand beaches and azure Caribbean waters.
Krystal Urban Cancun-Malecon
The Krystal Urban Cancun-Malecon is located in the heart of downtown Cancun, close to the best shopping, dining and downtown nightlife. It is also just 5-10 minutes from the Hotel Zone by taxi or bus. The hotel is only a few years old, and caters to business and event travelers. Many events are held at the B2B, as their meeting rooms have a capacity for up to 500 people. The hotel also boasts a pool on a large terrace and super views of the Hotel Zone and downtown. Executive Suites feature amenities like a terrace, WiFi and a flat screen TV.
Adhara Hacienda Cancun
The Adhara Hacienda Cancun is located downtown, just steps from the main drag, Tulum Avenue, and close to shopping and dining. Guest can take a bus or taxi to the Hotel Zone, just 10 minutes away. The charming pool area is located in a courtyard, so you'll forget you're downtown. The hotel includes both fitness and business centers. Guests enjoy complementary high speed internet access, a poolside bar and a restaurant, El Agave, which serves Mexican and international dishes. in room amentities include a coffeemaker, hairdryer, iron and ironing board and a safety deposit box/safe. Try a Bioharmony room, "an encounter with nature and its energy".
Celuisma Imperial Laguna Hotel Cancun
Slightly off-the-beaten-path in a residential area just off of Kukulkan Boulevard, the main drag that runs through Cancun's Hotel Zone, this small hotel is great for singles, couples, or families. Even though it's off the main street, guests can easily walk to a nearby bus stop in 5-10 minutes. With only 40 rooms, guests at this boutique hotel can relax and unwind, without hordes of other vacationers around them. There is no beach, but the hotel has a pool and is waterfront, facing Nichupte Lagoon. One of Cancun's best restaurants, La Palapa Belga, is located on the hotel grounds and should not be missed. There is also an open-air bar on the property.
Imperial Las Perlas Hotel
Las Perlas beach, where this 120-room hotel is located, is the closest beach to downtown Cancun. Guests at this hotel can easily get downtown in 10 minutes or less by bus or taxi. Downtown Cancun offers great dining and nightlife, as well as shopping. Cancun's Party Center nightclubs, are only about 15 minutes away from the hotel by bus or taxi. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel. Guest rooms have kitchenettes and air-conditioning. The hotel has a pool, one restaurant, and one bar. Los Pelicanos, the on-site restaurant is an over-the-water structure with good food and nice views. Guests have the option of purchasing the all-inclusive meal plan (all meals, snacks, and drinks included in the price), or breakfast only.
Celuisma Dos Playas Hotel Cancun
Midway between downtown Cancun and the heart of Cancun's Hotel Zone, Dos Playas is in a great location. The hotel has 129 rooms with either garden or ocean views. The lush grounds are filled with beautiful trees and tropical flowers. There are two restaurants on the property. Guests may choose to have no meals included in the price of the room, or breakfast-only (buffet breakfast) or the all-inclusive option, which includes all meals, snacks, and drinks. The decor and beautiful grounds make this hotel feel like a much more expensive hotel than it is, but you won't break the bank if you select this cute, economical resort for your beach vacation.
Holiday Inn Cancun Arenas
This 220-room property is located on the beach in Cancun's Hotel Zone, but it is also very close to downtown Cancun, which makes it a great homebase for checking out restaurants, nightlife, and shopping in both sections of town. Holiday Inn Arenas is one of the few pet-friendly properties in Cancun, accepting dogs under 22 pounds. There are three restaurants, a pool and a fitness center available. Guests can purchase the all-inclusive meal option or opt for the European Plan, which does not include any meals or drinks. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel for easy access to shopping, restaurants, and attractions.
Aquamarina Beach Hotel
This small resort is located on the beach in the Hotel Zone. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel. Guests can opt to pay for only a room (no meals included) or they can book the all-inclusive plan, which includes all meals, snacks, beverages (including domestic brands of alcoholic beverages) as well as taxes and gratuities. There is a miniature golf course on the hotel grounds and unlimited rounds of mini-golf are also included in the all-inclusive option. The hotel is walking distance from a ferry dock and departure points for many activities, like fishing excursions, day trips to Isla Mujeres, and the incredibly popular Captain Hook dinner cruise.
Ocean Spa Hotel
With only 154 rooms (Standard rooms and Spa Deluxe rooms are available) this small spa resort is a nice option for people that don't like massive resorts or the hefty price tags that come with them, but still like to be pampered. The hotel has five restaurants and two bars, including a swim-up pool bar. Ya'ax Che Spa is amazing and is far better than the spas at most other Cancun budget hotels. The 27 Spa Deluxe guest rooms have upgraded amenities, like bathrobes, slippers, a spa shower and access to other services. Many of the Spa Deluxe rooms include a jacuzzi tub.
Flamingo Cancun Resort And Plaza
Flamingo Cancun is in a prime location right on the beach in the heart of Cancun's Hotel Zone. There is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel and Flamingo Mall is across the street in case you want to do a little souvenir shopping. The resort is all-inclusive so all meals and drinks are included. If you want to venture off the property to dine, you won't have to go far because Outback Steakhouse and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. are just across the street. The hotel's 260 air-conditioned rooms and junior suites have either an ocean or lagoon view.
Sea Adventure Resort & Waterpark Cancun
Located in Puerto Juarez just north of downtown Cancun, this family-friendly hotel is far from the hustle and bustle of the Hotel Zone. Mini-golf, a playground and an on-site waterpark make this hotel a favorite among families with small children. The white sand beach, beautiful views and great price are also good reasons to love this resort. The hotel is all-inclusive only so all meals, drinks, non-motorized water sports (like kayaking) and admission to the waterpark are included in the price of your room. Sea Adventure features three restaurants, a snack bar and three bars on the hotel grounds and all are included in the plan.
