Geoff Jenkins Released; 5th Starter Determined
In a surprise move, the Phillies released Geoff Jenkins today, content with eating the over 8 million dollars they owe him. The Phillies are trying to find another right handed bat to balance out the line-up and Jenkins is a lefty, so he does not fit into the plan for 2009. However, picking up Jenkins to begin with was not a great move, which I stated way back when that happened. His numbers were steadily declining with his age and the Phillies more than overpaid for him. What I did like about Jenkins though throughout 2008 was his personality, his work ethic and they way he fit into a tight knit clubhouse. Jenkins is a super nice guy with a great sense of humor. He will be missed. I have a few photos of Jenkins for you throughout this piece to remember him by.
And now on with my rant; Todd Zolecki has reported that the Phillies may now be interested in Gary Sheffield who was just released by the Detroit Tigers. Let me state for the record that as much as I opposed picking up Jenkins in 2008, I am even more convinced that Sheffield is a far worse idea.
I'd rather have 2 Jenkins' than one Sheffield. And here are the numerous reasons why:
In 2 years with the Tigers, Sheffield played in a TOTAL of 18 games in the field. Yes, 18 out of like 324 games; he served as the team's DH. Therefore, at 40 years of age, it is obvious Sheffield can no longer field. Not to mention Sheffield himself said publicly that he wanted to go to the Rays, an America League team. Apparently, he knows he can no longer play outfield and thus, prefers the DH role. So, if the Phillies pick up Sheffield, are we then saying we believe Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth, who have been injury prone in the past, will stay healthy ALL year long? Not to mention Raul Ibanez, who is 36 year old. Someone please hire us a Geriatric Nurse, quick!
So you say Sheffield can hit? Sure, 20 years in the majors and he stands at 499 home runs. Great. But his numbers in the last 2 years, as he has gotten older, have declined. He hit .265 in 494 at-bats in 2007 and then hit .225 in 418 at-bats in 2008. You cannot say he did not get his AB's, because as the regular DH, he did. How can the Phillies, or any other team, expect improvement if he gets to hit off the bench only once every 2-3 games?
And then there is my favorite issue: personality. Sheffield is the same guy who picked fights with Joe Torre and Derek Jeter of the Yankees; two of the MOST respected guys in baseball. He called Torre a racist and then turned around and said Jeter "ain't all the way black." Hypocritical, if you ask me. Not to mention, Joe Torre is one of the best managers in the game and wouldn't hurt a fly.
Not convinced yet? How about the steroid allegations? Sheffield admitted to using steroids, except that he says he did not know they were steroids. How many times have we heard players say that now?
Do you believe it? Read the article here about Sheffield's issues, and former relationship with Barry Bonds, and judge for yourself. And even if the man is innocent, do the Phillies really need that kind of distraction in their clubhouse? Again, I'd rather have 2 Jenkins than one Sheffield.

I do hope my rant has been a waste of time and that the Phillies do not go anywhere near the problem child, Sheffield. But as in life and baseball, stranger things have happened. Crossing my fingers and toes that this will NOT be the case here…
UPDATE: The Phillies have contacted Sheffield's agent. UGH! No word yet on what will happen next.
Also, in a day filled with weird news, the Phillies also just announced that Chan Ho Park has won the 5th starters spot! JA Happ's future is uncertain except that he, Gary Majewski, Jack Taschner and Bobby Mosebach will now compete for 2 bullpen spots.

I was convinced before you even said anything, Jenn. Sheffield is a clubhouse cancer. Wouldn't want him on my team unless it was four years ago and he still had something in the tank.
So Jenn, tell us how you REALLY feel.😉 My initial thought was that he is a righthanded bat to balance out all the lefties, and the investment is minimal, but I have to say I too worry about the "chemistry". To me, he just doesn't seem like the kind of guy who will fit into the Phillies' clubhouse.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I love it when a redhead go on a tangent.
I totally agree with you on Sheffy's past. But I also know that for $ 400,000, it is a small price to pay to get some offense.
You also forget he had a bum shoulder for 2007, and got that surgery in the off season and never got back into his swagger until almost August of 2008. I do think he is an addition to any ball club, but the Phillies do not have a spot for him right now.
Little known fact, if Joe Torre lost respect for you, you never got it back without maximum effort. But that is the way it is suppose to be right? Jeter, well my other half says he makes an ugly woman on SNL, so I guess he doesn't have that going for him.
Awesome rant……………..I hope they find a way to keep J A Happ. I like the way that kid pitches.
Rays Renegade
Julia – got that right!
Jeff – Seriously. I am freaking out here!
Sue – maybe I held back too much there? Ha!
Renegade – Oh yeah, and I totally forgot about Burrell…guess you don't need him either :O) As for Shef's price, I think the trade off in personality just isn't worth it. And as for respect, yup, the way it should be :O) OMG – the Jeter SNL thing is SO freakin' funny! Think I'll have to post that one day for fun :O)
Don't worry, Jenn. The Phillies won't go after Sheffield. He should be with the Rays, since he lives in Tampa and can only DH at this point. Somebody will pick him up, because he still strikes fear in pitchers' hearts with his waggling of the bat, but you'll be safe. (I hope I'm right for your sake!)
Jenn – As a fellow Delawarian or whatever you're called when living in Wilmington (okay, no comments about that!), I hope that the Phillies don't pursue Gary Sheffield. His act, wagging bat or not, becomes very old, very quickly. He may be headed for the HOF but the Phillies team chemistry is too good to be infected by Sheff. I can just imagine the things he'd be saying about Chase Utley…
I'll take Pat Burrell over Sheffield any day – let Toronto get Sheffield!
Jenn – gave you a shout on my blog…I don't think Philly or Tampa is the place for Sheffield.
I don't think the Phillies need to pick up Sheffield. If anyone, someone with a lack of offensive force could take the chance. The Phillies dont need that🙂 they already have it!
Wright Way – I 2nd the motion :O)
Jane – Hope U R Right!
Scott – yeah, Delawarian I guess…although I am a lower, slower, Delawarian :O)
Canuck – Thanks for the support!!
Elizabeth – Seriously, we could use a rookie instead if need be!

But it wasn't the vivid paint job that caused one to follow it through the winding streets; it was the curious fact that in the rear of the bus sat an enormous barbecue pit, and a grease fan bulged out from one side.
Turns out the owner of said bus is Danny Lopez, the 'D' in A&D Wheel Aligning Services.
"Well, I wanted to have a pit on wheels and at the same time have my kitchen so I can just get up and go," Lopez said.
So with that idea in mind, Lopez searched for a vehicle that could accommodate such a rare feat of a rolling pit and kitchen in one.
So he began searching for an old school bus; he found one in Junction and began turning the normal looking yellow bus into a massive cooking machine on wheels.
"I've been working on it for a couple of years in my spare time."
Owning his own shop with tons of tools surely helped him out during the process.
"It hadn't been out on the road or anything, and the day you saw me I had just got the inspection sticker on it, so now it's all legal and ready to go."
Luckily, the bus Lopez found wasn't in too bad of shape, with all the seats already removed. And it was at least running.
"Basically, what I did was I cut sections out of the back part, and I made me a step and an opening big enough for a pit to go in there which I also made.
"I enclosed the front part of the bus to where I can have air conditioning and all the kitchen and utensils in there."
It's an ingenious design concept. There is a flattop stove, a couple of burners, a sink, a small counter with some drawers, two prep tables and a refrigerator.
But what about the color? The bright orange bus will definitely stand out wherever he goes, but he had a different agenda for the color.
"They say the color orange makes people hungry," Lopez laughed.
"It was a yellow school bus, but I sanded it all down and painted it myself."
And now, after years of work, he's ready to hit the road and fire up the grill.
"I just want to go out and enter competitions and have fun. Just get out of the house and have a good time."
And his first stop is the third annual George West Cinco de Mayo festival this weekend, where he's entered four categories, including brisket, beans, ribs and chicken.
So what does Mrs. Lopez think about his little hobby?
"She and her friends are going to come along and keep us company while we cook," Lopez smiled.
"I'm sure some of my friends will be coming by to sample the stuff, too."
But the Cinco de Mayo cook-off is just the first stop of what looks to be many.
"I'm going to look online and see when the next festivals and cook-offs are," Lopez said.
"There's a lot of them, and it just so happens that this one is here.
"And I'm ready for it."

JEVS Holds Amazing Race
High school and college students interning at local Jewish agencies briefly put the greater good aside to compete against one another in the JEVS Human Services brand of "The Amazing Race."
The students were given clues that guided them around the city and outskirts of Philadelphia including Redding Terminal Market, Love Park and City Hall. Participants were interning in the Franklin C. Ash Summer Internship Program, for undergraduate students interested in gaining a greater understanding of Judaism while working at community agencies and the Lasko College Prep Program, where students receive SAT tutoring services and work at Jewish community agencies
Rhoda Cohen, JEVS coordinator of community relations, said in an email that the race was intended to help students get to know Philadelphia and one another better.
The winners were, in first place, Corey Cohen and his mentee, David Geron-Neubauer; in second place, Talya Greenblatt and her mentee, Matthew Weiner; and in third place, Sam Crystal and his mentees Micah Burton and Daniel Farage.

Barclays investment bank chairman to retire
Hans-Joerg Rudloff, one of the longest-standing investment bankers in Europe, is retiring from his role as chairman of Barclays investment bank, according to an internal memo reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Rudloff, who has held his current position since 1998 and has been in the banking industry for around 50 years, is 73 years old and will retire at the end of this month.
In the memo, Eric Bommensath and Tom King, the co-chief executives of corporate and investment banking at Barclays, wrote: "[Mr. Rudloff] has helped to steer our progress from the earliest days of Barclays Capital...He oversaw the expansion of Barclays Capital from its UK roots; first to Europe, then to the US"
During his long career, Rudloff concurrently held the roles of both chairman and chief executive of Credit Suisse First Boston. Barclays confirmed the memo's contents.
Rudloff's investment banking career lasted nearly half a century. Born in 1940, he studied economics at the University of Bern, Switzerland, joining Credit Suisse as a trainee in 1965. He went on to work for Kidder Peabody before returning to Credit Suisse as a managing director in 1980. He became chairman and chief executive at the Swiss bank in 1998.
Speaking to Financial News in 2009 as part of a feature on veterans in finance, he said: "The workings of the international markets, which developed from modest beginnings in the 1960s to what they are today, have always given me satisfaction, and every year has its own quota of deal and transaction-oriented highlights."
He also identified the first six months of 2009 as the low point, describing it as the biggest market failure since the 1930s.
"In the end, the markets will be resilient and bounce back, but at an incredible price, not only in money terms but in reputations too. Our profession has lost its reputation and the respect of people. It will improve, but only if we learn from our lessons, work hard and show a lot of self-discipline", he said.
The Swiss financier has held numerous board roles including at Novartis, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies; New World Resources, a coal miner; Rosneft, Russia's state-controlled oil major; and BlueBay Asset Management. From 2005 until 2011 he was chairman of the International Capital Markets Association, a financial industry trade body.
His retirement follows that of Klaus Diederichs, the chairman of European investment banking at JP Morgan, who will stand down in April from the role, though he will stay on as a senior adviser.

From grilled chicken with fresh summer salsas to summer pasta dishes, these healthy summer entrées please your tastebuds and beat the heat.
Grilled Chicken with Fresh Grape Glaze
Grapes are probably the last thing you'd think of to put on grilled chicken, but combined with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary, they really work well here. Their natural sugars caramelize during cooking, giving the finished dish the charred crust that makes grilled food great.


text: My three week old has started this new thing. The past few days all he has wanted to do is eat. Sometimes he will only stay on for 5 minutes and other times he will stay on for 45 minutes. Could this be a growth spurt and should I just keep feeding him like this. I feel like he is completely draining my boobs and not giving them enough time to fill up. It sounds silly but I am nervous I am gonna run out

Oz offers this last tip: laughing eases stress, promotes social bonding, lowers blood pressure and it may boost the immune system.
Engage Your Brain
Researchers are learning more and more about what keeps the brain sharp over time and how it affects lifespan. Scientists say that fewer than one in 200 people reach the age of 90 with no sign of dementia, and those people are offering researchers bountiful new data on how they did it, the New York Times reported last year.
"We think, for example, that it's very important to use your brain, to keep challenging your mind, but all mental activities may not be equal," Dr. Claudia Kawas, a neurologist at the University of California, Irvine, told the Times in a May 2009 article. "We?re seeing some evidence that a social component may be crucial."
The Times article featured a group of plus-90 women who play bridge, which tests memory and keeps the brain engaged. Evidence suggests that people who spend three hours or more a day engrossed in mental activities like card games might be at reduced risk of developing dementia, the Times reported. Researchers want to know if those card players are active because they are sharp, or sharp because they are active.
But studies so far certainly suggest that it's a good idea to take your brain out for a spin every day. Do puzzles or games. Read a type of book that is unfamiliar. Learn a new skill -- a dance step or basic phrases in foreign language. Change up daily routines a bit. Or get creative -- take a stained-glass window or woodblock print art class.

Court Report
A man is fighting for his life at the Intensive Care unit at the LBJ hospital following an assault incident in Auasi Tuesday evening.
Lomitusi Uiagalelei, arrested on the night in question, is being held at the Tafuna Correctional Facility on bail set at $10,000.
The defendant is facing a public peace disturbance and made his initial appearance in the District Court this morning.
Assistant Attorney General Blake Hanley said the government is looking at filing additional felony charges against Uiagalelei. According to the government's case the defendant was upset that the victim's dog was barking during evening prayers.
It's alleged the defendant struck the victim's dog with a shovel and when the victim's wife approached the defendant, they argued verbally.
Court filings state that the victim got upset and approached the defendant.
According to the government's case the defendant struck the victim with a shovel on the head and a fight broke out until bystanders intervened and broke up the fight between the victim and the defendant. Court filings state that bystanders contacted police for assistance when the victim fell and a lot of blood was seen coming from the injury to his head.
When the defendant made his initial appearance yesterday before District Court Judge John Ward, the prosecutor said the victim is in the ICU undergoing further treatment for severe injuries to his head.
The defendant is scheduled to appear in court today to determine whether the government will have the new charges ready for Uiagalelei. The defendant is represented by Assistant Public Defender Donna Clement.
District Court Judge John Ward sentenced Merota Falemiga to serve 270 days in jail, which is equivalent to nine months, for driving under the influence and felony driving while his driver's license was suspended. This is Falemiga's second felony driving and his fourth DUI conviction.
Sentencing for the defendant was handed down by District Court Judge John Ward, who was accompanied by Associate Judge Suapaia Pereira last week.
For the DUI charge Falemiga was sentenced to 12 months in jail, however execution of that sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation for two years. He was also ordered to pay a fine of $1,000, however $500 was deferred.
For the felony driving while his driver's license was suspended, Falemiga was sentenced to serve 60 months in jail. Execution of sentence was, however, suspended and he is being place on probation of five years under the condition that he serve 270 days (9 months) in jail.
Falemiga was also ordered to pay a fine of $3,000 however $2,500 was deferred. Overall sentencing for the defendant is to run concurrently and the amount of the fine he's to pay is $1,000. He's also placed on five years probation.
Ward also revoked and permanently suspended Falemiga's driver license.
Falemiga, an employee of the Criminal Justice Planning Agency with the government, is also allowed to be on work release from 6 AM to 6 PM.
Other conditions of his probation are that Falemiga is to remain a law abiding citizen, visit the probation officer regularly, not consume any alcohol and he's subject to random testing for alcohol consumption or use of illegal drugs. Falemiga was also ordered to attend and successfully complete alcohol dependency program at the LBJ hospital.
A Vietnamese fisherman appeared in the District Court yesterday on allegations that he struck another Vietnamese fisherman Tuesday night at the Karaoke Club.
Yan Dien is charged with a public peace disturbance, however the government is looking at filing additional assault charges.
According to the government's case the defendant, who was intoxicated, was upset with the victim — who was also intoxicated — and a fight escalated. The defendant struck the victim on the head with a beer bottle. The victim was taken to the LBJ hospital where he was treated and released. The victim suffered a cut which required multiple stitches.
District Court Judge John Ward rescheduled this matter for June 14, 2012 when the defendant returns from his trip out at sea. The defendant, who's a fisherman asked the court to release him to travel for work.
Ward also ordered the defendant to be confined on the vessel until his departure. He is not allowed to consume any alcohol before and after he returns to the territory from his trip.
The defendant is out on a $300 bail, and is represented by Assistant Public Defender Donna Clement.
The scheduling of the hearing for Coast Guard Safety Detachment Unit Lieutenant Steven Caskey who's charged with Driving Under the Influence has been postponed to May 17, 2012.
During the last hearing for Lt Caskey, who was initially represented by Assistant Public Defender Karen Shelley, Caskey was ordered by District Court Judge John Ward to attain private counsel.
When Lt Caskey appeared in court for a status hearing, his new attorney, Sharron Rancourt asked for a two week continuance so she can have time to go through the paperwork because she was just retained by the defendant.
Assistant Public Defender Shelley told Samoa News that she suspects that Lt Caskey's income does not qualify him to be represented by the public defender's office. Samoa News asked why Lt Caskey had been able to retain representation by the Public Defender's office in the first place, but Shelley said she was not aware as to why.
According to the government's case Lt Caskey refused to sign his traffic citation tickets and that's what led to his arrest last year. The prosecutor for this matter is Assistant Attorney General Cable Poag.
(The Samoan version of this story, "LT STEVEN CASKEY", appears in today's Samoa News, under Tala Faamasinoga, Thursday, May 03, 2012, and can be found on samoanews.com.)

15 NCAA Div. III individual championships
DES MOINES—The Central College distance medley relay squad of Drew Jackson (freshman, Johnston), Alex Edwards (freshman, Knoxville), L.J. Lipscomb (freshman, Johnston), and Eli Horton (freshman, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) cracked a 32-year school record at the Drake Relays track and field meet Saturday.
The all-freshman quartet crossed the line in 10 minutes, 3.25 seconds, good for fifth place in the college division. It was over seven seconds faster than the previous record of 10:10.47 set in 1980.
"To run that fast with four young guys is a lot of fun," said coach Joe Dunham. "Competing at the college level is a big step up from high school, but they weren't intimidated and did a great job on a big stage."
The Dutch also contested the finals of the 4x100 relay, with the team of Trevor Veach (senior, Grinnell), Logan Danko (junior, Centerville), Kyle Wood (senior, Newton), and Allen Scovel (senior, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) taking fourth in the college division with a time of 41.39. That time is just shy of their season's best (41.32), but Dunham was impressed with the performance.
"They had two very solid races this weekend," said Dunham. "And the conditions weren't great either day. They can run faster."
The Dutch also sent a contingent to the Kip Janvrin Open Friday night highlighted by a pair of women's shot put performances. Morgan Darrow (senior, Newell, Storm Lake HS) made a strong bid for a national berth with a mark of 44 feet, 5.5 inches to take second overall while teammate Bry Pierce (freshman, St. Clair, Mo.) was fourth with a mark of 42-4.75. Those performances rank them ninth and 27th respectively in Division III. The top 22 women earn NCAA bids.
"This is the time of year where we see a lot of breakthrough performances," said Dunham. "The women's shot put went particularly well and there were several other events that saw good results."
Horton grabbed a victory in the 1,500 meters (3:56.02) and Nathan Thiessen (freshman, Davenport, North HS) won the 10,000 meters (35:27.09).
Dunham also cited the men's 5,000-meter runners and triple jumpers.
"The triple jumpers were battling a strong headwind," said Dunham. "And wind is never good for a distance race, but we still had a lot of good things happen."
Matt Strey (freshman, Pella, St. Peter (Minn.) HS) led the Dutch triple jumpers with a mark of 42-9 to take fourth, while Brent Ewing (junior, Centerville) was eighth in the 5,000 meters, crossing the line in 15:43.78.
Central will travel to Monmouth, Ill. next weekend for the Monmouth Invitational, the final regular season meet before the Iowa Conference championships May 10-12.
"I really feel like our team is coming together well," said Dunham. "We're well-rounded across all the events and we have high expectations for the rest of the season."

Welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us tonight.
The first song is "Venga." It's from the last Guillermo Klein recording.
Called Una Nave.
Second song is "Juana." From LOS GUACHOS II.
This band has been rehearsing nonstop. That, combined with being together on and off for 13 years, makes a HUGE difference for the music.
9:19 Singer Carmen Canela has joined the band onstage. She is featured on the new recording, FILTROS. She flew in from Barcelona to be at the Village Vanguard this week. Singing "Amor Profundo."
9:23 Carmen singing "Textura de Sueno." This is based on a poem by Nicaraguan writer, Gioconda Belli. Loosely tranlated as "Haunted Night."
9:29 George Gershwin's "Fascinating Rhythm," with "Moliendo Cafe."
Carmen's last tune with Los Guachos tonight. Also from UNA NAVE.
9:32 Very powerful solo from Miguel Zenon.
9:41 "Vaca." This is an Argentine children's song with a beat from Ghana and a composition from the modernist Gyorgi Ligeti called "Hungarian Rock." Cool. Hear a story about it here.
9:47 "Yeso," from the new record, FILTROS. Everyone singing. A very beautiful song.
10:00 Evertime I hear this song, "Miula," I feel like I'm in a time warp. Guillermo told me he thinks about the movie, MATRIX. Funny.
10:13 Sorry, folks. I got so wrapped up in the last tune that I was neglecting the blog. Music does this to me.
Hope you enjoyed the show. Come back next week for Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band.

On the Mark, Teixeira!
Yanks Take Game 2, Good Pitching and Timely Hitting
I found some time today to squeeze in a blog entry! It was a pretty good game last night. The Yankees won thanks to some runs late in the game, so they were kind if "The Drama Club" last night. They had great pitching, and some timely hitting. The Yankees beat the Mariners 4-2.
Pitching Analysis: Andy Pettitte started for the Yanks last night. He started out badly, giving up singles to Ichiro and Gutierrez, a double to Lopez, and an RBI groundout to Griffey. He gave up 2 runs in the 1st, stormed angrily back into the dugout, and knocked over the thing of sunflower seeds. Andy decided that that was enough runs to give up. He wanted to pitch better, and he did. Andy was superb. He went 6 innings, and just gave up those 2 runs, 6 hits, and he had 10 strikeouts along the way. Great job, Andy!
After allowing 2 runs in the 1st, Andy got tough.
In relief of Andy came Brian Bruney, Phil Hughes, and Mariano Rivera. All of them had scoreless outings. Hughes got the win, and Mo got his 34th save of the year! The Yankees had great pitching last night.
Defensive Analysis: Good pitching, good defense. They go hand-in-hand. The defense was solid again last night as the Yankees played errorless ball and made every play.
Offensive Analysis: The Mariners pitched very well last night, and the Yankees struggled against him. But they got enough runs to win.
In the 2nd, Jorge Posada hit a ball that went off the top of the wall. He thought it was a homer, so he asked for the instant replay. The umpires ruled that it was a double, so Jorge had to settle for that. Cano grounded out, which moved Jorge to 3rd. Swisher walked, and then Jerry Hairston hit a double play ball to short. But Swish slid hard into 2nd, and broke up the DP. Hairston was safe at 1st, and Posada scored. Yanks down 2-1.
In the 5th with 2 out and the Yanks still trailing 2-1, my man Melky got himself an infield single. He smelled the hit and hustled all the way. Then as Jeter was up, a wild pitch was thrown, which enabled Melky to go to 2nd. Then Jeter got himself a seeing eye single, and Melky scored to tie the game! Imagine that. A harmless 2 out infield single, and before you knew it, the game was tied. 2-2.
With the game still tied heading into the 9th, Mark Teixeira came up to the plate. Well, the "Texicutioner" struck again. He hit a home run, his 30th of the year! Is he "On the Mark," or what! 3-2 Yankees. The Yanks tacked on another one, as Cano doubled and Swisher knocked him in. Mo closed it out, and the Yankees won 4-2. It was a well-played game.
Tex's blast!
The Yankees took the 2nd game of this 4 game set, and they really played well. They had great pitching, and not much hitting, but they got the hits that added up to runs. The heroes for the win are Andy Pettitte, for vowing to do better after knocking over sunflower seeds and actually doing it, the Yankee bullpen for holding the game where it was, and Mark Teixeira, for his blast that put the Yankees on the winning end. The Red Sox won against the Rangers (damn!) so the 6.5 game lead the Yankees have remains at just that. Sexy-boy Mitre pitches tonight, so I hope he will be alright.
I will be opening my presents and having my cake TONIGHT! A day early, since my aunt has to catch a plane on Sunday. I can't wait!

Well at least this one wasn't a blow out…they waited till the 9th and tried the on the road walk off, which isn't really a walk off but its close…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Tex is looking more like an MVP each day! At least we got a win too, we're staying in this race till the end…
Wooowooo! Can I just tell you how much I love come-from-behind wins? A WHOLE LOTTT !!!!! Ahhh I'm hyped up LOL. I just lovelovelove this team and how clutch they are as a whole. It's amazing!
I hope Mitre gets the job done. He is trying my patience – good-looking or not! LOL.
Another amazing win last night, Virginia – completely different from the night before but equally satisfying. How much do we love this team! Enjoy your cake (chocolate????) and make a wish that the Yankees win the World Series!
Enjoy the cake, Virginia! Hmm…cake and good looking guys – you may be onto something there…LOL!
Those sunflower seeds really got on my good side yesterday they took one for the team when we needed them the most! I hope the Yankees win one for you tonight!!! Happy Birthday : ) My last comment was on the wrong entry lol
Happy Sweet 16 Virginia, I wish you much candy and cake and no head or stomach ache to deal with afterwards. I also am predicting a no hitter tonight by Double Tre, and in his post-game interview he will wish you a happy birthday and announce his love for you. I also wish for you much boobs and video ga–wait, that's my birthday, not yours…
Adriana Lima? I know a dude who is like in love with her, lol. She's pretty hot. Not my type, but hot.
-doggy doggy doggy doggy
Andy pitched a great game, but he needs to settle down when things aren't going his way. Great to know that the Yankees are winning in dramatic fashion. Here's my opinion, the Yankees need to score more runs, more hitting. The pitching is fine, but even with the wins, the offense needs to step it up a notch.
Matthew Tang
Happy early birthday Virginia!
I am having butter pecan ice cream made with splenda. Is good! it would be great on top of a piece of that chocolate cake you are having!
What a nice present for you Virginia a Yankee win. Enjoy the rest of your birthday, your presents and cake.
It's officially Sunday here on the East Coast, so Happy Sweet Sixteen, Virginia! I hope the Yankees pull the sweep off for you and Joba strikes out a ton of batters.
When Mark came up to bat, I knew he was going to hit a HR. A part of me just said, we really need this run…..he'll find a way to give it to us, and he did. Where this team would be without him, I don't even want to think about. Andy was phenomenal as usual and apparently CC is rubbing off on him – when did he become a strikeout pitcher? LOL
I didn't realize a player could ask for a replay the way Posada did. I think that should be just for managers and umpires. Funny.

How stressed are you?
Published On: May 24 2011 07:12:53 AM PDT Updated On: Feb 16 2016 09:41:55 AM PST
Between work, money and relationships we can all feel stressed out from time to time. How stressed are you? Too much can not only hinder your immune system and age you faster, but also affects your health in more serious ways, even contributing to heart disease or depression.


text: Yesterday I observed that sometimes an inaccurate sense of modesty can lead a powerful person to underestimate the extent to which he intimidates others. I focused particularly on the fact that moral and social conditioning trains us to downplay our accomplishments, the extent of our influence on others, and our fearsomeness in their eyes.

Woodsboro's playoff game beging this week. The Lady Eagles' first opponent will be the Medina Bobcats in a three-game series..
The first game is set for Friday in Floresville at 7 p.m. Game two will be in Woodsboro at 6 p.m., and game 3, if necessary, will be Saturday 11 a.m. in Floresville.
The Lady Eagles were up for the challenge in a playoff-like atmosphere. The Lady Eagles capitalized on the Lady Pirate miscues in the first inning.
Ashley Barraza led off the inning with a walk. Taylor Perez then reached base on a bunt single that the pitcher threw over the right field foul fence, scoring Barraza from second and Perez ended up on third on the throw. Perez would then score on a wild pitch by the Sinton pitcher making the score 2 to 0.
The Lady Eagles gave up the lead in the bottom of the third making the score 2 to 3. The Lady Eagles would come up with two runs on the top half of the fifth inning making the score 4 – 3.
Barraza singled over the first baseman's outstretched glove. Perez would then sacrifice Barraza to second. Hannah Carmichael then singled to left field and stole second on the next pitch to Malorie Nesloney.
With runner's in scoring position, Nesloney hit a 2 RBI line shot to the right center field gap, scoring Perez and Carmichael.
The Lady Pirate's tied the game in the bottom half of the fifth to make the score dead even, 4 to 4.
Still tied going into the top of the seventh inning, the Lady Eagles struck one more time on a two-out rally. Perez reached base on a single followed by a single by Carmichael.
Nesloney used her free-walk card to load the bases. With Toni Martinez at the plate, the Sinton pitcher unleashed a wild pitch that allowed Perez to score the winning run from third.
Nesloney then shut down the Sinton Lady Pirates in the bottom half of the seventh inning. Nesloney struck out 10 and gave up just 1 earned run.
Barraza went 1-3, 2R, 2SB, T.Perez 3-3, 2R, 1RBI, 1SB, Carmichael 1-2, 1R, Nesloney 1-3, 3RBI. Playing good defense were Toni Martinez, Kayse McCool, Bria Brown, Kati Perez, Jennifer Elizardo, Jamie Wilson, and courtesy runners Kendall Wendland and Anna Vega.
"Thank you for all your support," said coach Jaime Cano.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A criminologist says Republican Gov. Scott Walker's campaign misrepresented his comments about Milwaukee Police Department crime statistics in a campaign ad.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper reported last month that Milwaukee police misclassified hundreds of violent crimes as minor assaults. Walker's campaign launched an ad accusing his Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, of lying about the statistics to make the city's crime rate look better.
The ad flashes a partial quote criminologist Sam Walker gave the newspaper saying the misclassifications are suspicious, improper and represent a failure of leadership next to a shot of Barrett.
Sam Walker says he was referring to police leadership, not the mayor. He says elected officials usually accept data police give them.
Walker campaign spokeswoman Ciara Matthews didn't immediately return a message.

Some have the idea that having so much in the way of electronics is excessive, but it all depends on how you use them. I get daily bible verses and a devotional that comes to me and all I have to do is touch the screen to read them.
And although it seems as if I vacillate between highs and lows here, I don't, really. Like the one week I write about smiling and the next I have my head in my toilets in distress cleaning mode. I'm not really that far apart.
I have bad moments, but I refuse to stay in them. I awoke the "morning after" the toilet cleaning to find Joel Osteen quoting Philippians 4:8, the "Whatever" scripture (true, honest, just, pure, lovely, kind, of virtue, and worthy of praise) that defines what we are to focus upon in our minds.
I have plaques up in my house, one with Helen Keller's quote, "Your success and happiness lie in you."
I have the "Love is" quotes from Corinthians and the fruit of the spirit posted. Over the front door is the sign that reads, "The Best Is Yet To Come." And one that I am particularly fond of mentions it is never too late for happy endings.
My oldest son was over and noticed one that mentioned, "In Our House" and listed things we do. At the top of the list was "We do second chances." He glanced over the rest of the list - "We say prayers." "We do I'm sorrys." "We do loud really well." "We give hugs." "We do love." "We are family."
Then he made an adjustment. After several attempts to get my three butterflies focused on their tasks, my son said, "Mom, you need to change that first one to infinite chances."
That would fit. Life is full of infinite chances and choices. Our only limits are what we choose to believe about them.
When I told you all about the toilets and such, I only did so as a form of comic relief. We have many forms of coping and sometimes I clean.
I wouldn't dream of replacing my friends, either. They have been a strong support and are available to me any time I need them. All I have to do is call. If they cannot talk then, we plan to talk later and they pray for me and with me.
Even my brothers and sisters who live out of the state and the country are just a few buttons away via the e-mails. (I have one brother 30 minutes away, as well.)
Yes, I'm digressing again. I'm thinking of the second/infinite chances we all have in life. The only finality we have is in death. Once we meet with death, there is nothing more - well, there is heaven or hell, and that little thing called "eternity," but our decisions about it have to be made before our final breath here.
Some of us think we have so much more time than we really do, while others of us live our lives prepared for "any moment."
I want to be in the "any moment" group. I work to keep myself in check, although I am not always successful. There is that issue of free will that can get pretty messy at times.
All I can say here is what I plan to the best of my ability as I lean on God, found in Joshua 24:15: "And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

I am not homophobic by the way.
Key Match up: Every single one.
Inparticular though, we need the Gov's size VS an enormous and heavy Boston front court. Felton + Douglas defence VS Rondo is paramount to a victory as well
Pushing in transition against Boston, IMO, is absolutely crucial. We can outrun this team at every spot bar PG. Boston loves to play the half court on both ends, and they excel when they play at their pace. FAGS!
Ronnie's input has to match or exceed what it did against Toronto as well. We need his persona to ignite the second unit - or the first depending on how quickly the Gov fouls out.
Fields, again, needs to bring it against Gay Allen. He's a lot bigger than Gay, and has to hit the boards as the extra man contesting for us.
We're outmatched virtually at every position defensively, and, as I say, will have to run through Boston.
Rely on jumpers and it's a loss.
STAT will need his complete game and 12-14 boards. Early fouls will decimate any hopes of putting away the Lords Of The ****.
**** I hate Boston! All there machismo and dramatic poppy ****... Man...
This is an I hate Boston/game thread.
yeh....why does KG overdo the "I'm a beast" act....enough with the useless snarling and head-butting, guy...
We can beat em.. Cmon the Cavs without Lebitch did it.. We most definitely can..
We had better play hard tho. Cause you know Boston will come out mad after losing to Cleveland.
yeah we are better then the cav's< so we CAN beat this team. They will be looking for a big win to get them going. You can expect them to come out hard, but i expect the new look knicks to play with a chip on their sholder.
We've got something to prove.
5 ***** game thread
I got some more images for this thread....
I said this in the other game thread but to me this game comes down to one thing: The Transition Game.
Despite the OP (which is a great thread Crazy8s, and I'm not tryin to dis), we will be outmatched in the size department no matter what. The key I think for us is to get this team running. Rondo can keep up, but Shaq/Perkins/Baby/KG on transition defense really opens up Amare for some open plays. We CAN run on this team, and to win I think we have to. If we run half court sets and settle for jumpers we will never win. They will frustrate us on defense and outrebound us by a lot.
The key to winning here is to let Felton run wild with Amare...God I wish AR was playing because he could thrive in the fast break transition offense. We don't get transition buckets, we lose, simple as that.
Fu*k Boston. I replayed the Cavs Game last night so I could watch them lose. I think the Knicks can get a win here. Amare will probably have a great game, Turiff's Defense is solid. Mozgov's defense sucks right now because he fouls to quick But if he dosent get into foul trouble early it will dramatically help us.
We need big nights from are guards on both ends of the floor and the Small foward has to show up and make plays to help this team win. Gallo has looked terrible so far IMO.
All this talk about gallo being are future makes me want to puke
Holy Christ. That Garnett Pegleg pic is too ****ing funny. Lmao. He looks like such a muppet in it. Gold.
Let's do our part in putting the nail in these old fags' coffin and making their season a bust.
Who else would go crazy if Moz and STAT could go wild being led by a relentless Felton?
LETS ****ING GO! **** all of the celtics and **** brian scalabrine.
knicks better kill!

Stir It Up: Honor Mom with homemade muffinsVezzani Photography/Shutterstock.com Photo
Kids will be proud — and moms will be prouder — of these homemade Blueberry Oat Muffins, a from-the-heart Mother's Day treat. The recipe and photo are from "Country Cooking Made Easy."
It is one of those historical ironies that the woman who most championed our modern Mother's Day died poor, childless and feeling like a failure. West Virginia native Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis —herself an activist who helped organize mothers to promote peace after the Civil War — campaigned tirelessly for a national Mother's Day.
In 1914 she succeeded, and President Woodrow Wilson set aside the second Sunday in May. But soon, to Anna's dismay, the intimate and personal Mother's Day she had envisioned became a marketing opportunity for purveyors to sell flowers, candy, cards and gifts.
"A printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world," Jarvis is quoted as saying. "And candy! You take a box to Mother — and then eat most of it yourself. A pretty sentiment."
She went to her grave certain that the forces of commercialism had taken over Mother's Day. And, according to The National Geographic Daily News website, she was right. Mother's Day, the site reports, is now the busiest day of the year for U.S. restaurants. It is the third most popular holiday (after Christmas and Valentine's Day) for sending cards. Spending for Mother's Day in 2012 was expected to reach $18.6 billion. The average American adult spends $152.52 on Mother's Day each year.
While, as a mother, I am not strictly opposed to being lavished with gifts of flowers and jewelry or taken out to dine, there's a part of me that yearns for the Mother's Day that Anna Jarvis envisioned. Mother's Day is a perfect day to teach children about gifts from the heart. Hand-drawn cards (sorry, Hallmark), picture frames made of Popsicle sticks and cheery "bouquets" of dandelions should be the order of the day — along with a meal the child helped cook.
Cooking teaches kids all sorts of skills. Even very young kids will learn how to follow instructions, develop their hand-eye coordination (peeling, mixing, pouring) and enhance their math skills (measuring). Older kids can improve their reading and appreciate some kitchen science. But most of all, on Mother's Day, cooking for Mom teaches generosity of spirit.
Mother's Day is the time for an adult relative or older sibling to step up to the stove, take the little ones in hand and get to work. They'll be amply rewarded with a proud, beaming child and a proud, beaming mom.
When working in the kitchen with young children, baking is often the way to go: Kids love the mixing and measuring, and most baking projects do not involve sharp knives or splattering hot oil. Start with something simple, like muffins. They can be healthy, are relatively quick (no waiting for dough to rise) and are something that mothers and children both find appealing.
This recipe for Blueberry Oat Muffins comes from "Country Cooking Made Easy" and makes a perfect start to Mother's Day.
A side of scrambled eggs and a fruit salad would please any mom. The supervising adult should get the oats and buttermilk soaking early, so the young bakers don't lose interest.
Using average prices for the ingredients, I figure these muffins cost about 25 cents apiece. If you are an "average" American adult, that gives you $152.27 left over for jewelry and gifts. Be my guest.
Yield: 12 regular muffins
1 cup regular rolled oats (not "instant" or "quick-cooking")
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour (see note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
4 tablespoons melted butter (see note)
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (if frozen, thaw and allow to drain)
In a bowl, combine the oats and buttermilk and let stand for an hour.
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners, or lightly grease them with butter, vegetable oil or coconut oil. Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
In a cup or small bowl, beat the egg and melted butter together with a fork and add to the dry ingredients until just mixed. Fold in the blueberries. Fill the prepared muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Note: You can increase the fiber in these muffins by using white whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. If Mom is avoiding butter, substitute 4 tablespoons coconut oil.

Basically you're saying that the people that made the beats should collaborate and make their own album. Lmao, if producers would do that, they would be the ones making most of the money.
Streets, the thing is I don't want to corrupt my lyrically gifted mind I listen to masterpiece rap songs, don't want to **** up my thought process by hearing a wack album
Its a joke niqqa, don't take it too literal. Damn, little kids these days...
I just heard Empire State of Mind. Alicia Keys made the song alright. Her hook was really nice. But Jay's verses on the song kinda sucked. Too bad, so close...
Don't know why people hate Jay-z. I've been listening to his album for the past 2-3 weeks and i just can't get enough of it. In my opinion is the best blueprint of them all, almost as good as the black album.
do i consider it a classic? NO DOUBT!
the song forever young is amazing he goes hard on that, and thats not dissing the album it though it was sick after listening to it, hov keeps solidifying himself as a legend and his song a star is born is genius
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
its a good cd but only built 4 cuban linx 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I like some of the songs but it's pretty lame if you ask me. It's to commercial for my taste, I wish Jay-Z would make an album like Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint I and The Black album again.
Also for Rap album of the Year it goes to Redman/Method Man - The Blackout II. I can't find one bad line/lyric on the whole damn album not to mention the awesome beats to go along with each song.
"Yo, back when chef mami used to sell plates, we used to sell base
I learned to wipe my nose and wipe the prints off the shell case
Don't want no jail case, freedom miles standing at hell's gate
It's hot, and the devil's my cell mate
The game's addictive, I can't stop, it's like I'm chasing that first high
Like Betty Crocker baking that first pie
The beef we serving is stir fried, swerving all through your urban
Hurting, every gate and corner, you working, I'm
The bottom line, the school of hard knocks turn into Columbine" - MM
One Example...I could post lyrics all day from that album.
Raekwon's new album is alright I don't think it even comes close to the first. Also my favorite Rap album of last year was GZA's Pro Tools.
And My most anticipated rap album coming out within the next 2 years LUPE FIASCO !
Also on The Blueprint 2 I like about 3 songs.
"DOA"(Best Jay Song since RD For sure, why can't he make a whole album of this style.)
"Empire State of Mind"(Despite it's popularity, that beat is catchy as hell and the Alicia Keys chorus is classic. Reminds me of The Yankees and the season they have had)
The rest is overrun with club beats and Young Jeezyisms
I also forgot about Jadakiss' new album which was alright.

Hey everyone! Look what I found:
NAS ft. Alicia Keys and Rakim
Streets of New York(2003)
Jay-z copying NAS once again. Can't this ***** ever do something original??? At least have a different chick on the hook. Damn son.
Here's the same song but with "empire state of mind's" beat and hook. Notice that it sounds way better then with Jay's ****ty rhymes.
Also, biggie is on this one(sky's the limit lyrics).
NAS ft. Alicia Keys, Rakim and biggie- the ill-remix
1. So.. what exactly did he copy?
2. Song belongs to Alicia, not Nas, so if something was copied indeed (although i can't figure out what it was) it was from her.
3. They ended their saga a couple of years ago when Nas was featured on Kingdom come, time for everyone to move forward
Wow, you make no sense. First off, I'm not talking about their "saga." I know they're best of buddies now. I'm simply referring to how this "empire state of mind" song bites off of NAS' style like crazy.
Here's a rap history lesson:
-Nas made the song "NY state of mind" in 1994. (Obvious rip off by jay)
-Nas, rakim and alicia keys made "streets of new york" in 2003(like I previously stated.)
Yea, alicia is madd gangster. Of course it was her idea to make a song called "streets of NY." Obviously she's recalling her hard time in the streets. How she use to stab people who didn't pay up or how she got her clit sukked for drugs
And of course we all know how many lines jay bit off of biggie. Also, taking Nas' "dead presidents" line from the song "the world is yours (remix)"
Now do you see why jay's so wack???

Stop U.S. military aid to Israel nowNovember 23,2012
Stop U.S. military aid to Israel now
I woke this morning to the news of the Israeli airstrike in Gaza City that killed 10 members of the Dula family, four of them young children. In the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict almost 80 Gazans have been killed, most of them women and children. President Obama continues his droning chant reiterating Israels right to defend itself, with no recognition that Israel is not defending anything but its right to remain above international and U.S. law. The Leahy provision of the Foreign Assistance Act passed by the U.S. Congress prohibits our military assistance to foreign military forces that violate human rights. But as with Israels Operation Cast Lead in 2008-9 in Gaza (approximately 1,400 Palestinians killed, almost all civilians, and 13 Israelis), the U.N. and human rights organizations documented multiple and gross violations, but no action has ever been taken. While Israel then and now is the instigator of the violence, the breaker of a cease-fire, and the clear aggressor, we hardly hear these details from our media.
I am one of many Jewish Americans (and many others who are afraid to speak out) who say to Presidents Obama and Netanyahu, not in my name. Americas funding of Israels illegal wars against innocent Gazans, the complete blockade of its borders, its extra-judicial killings and its flouting of the rule of law, must stop.
As we stand at the edge of the fiscal cliff where is the mention of suspending the more than $3 billion we spend on arming Israel every year, more than to any other country in the world? We need to pressure our president, our own congressional delegation and Israel. Whether Jewish or not, all Americans need to say, not in my name. Stop U.S. aid to Israel now.

LSU staysin runningin the SECAP PHOTO
LSU wide receiver Jarvis Landry (80) makes a leaping reception for a 22-yard scoring play against Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark., on Friday.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. Jarvis Landry helped LSU keep an SEC championship within reach.
Landry made a spectacular, reaching, one-handed touchdown catch and the eighth-ranked Tigers held on for a 20-13 win over Arkansas on Friday.
Zach Mettenberger passed for 217 yards and hooked up with Landry for the play of the day with 1:12 left in the first half to put LSU up 10-0. The Tigers (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) reached double-digit wins for the sixth time in eight seasons under coach Les Miles.
LSU must now hope for an Alabama loss to Auburn and Texas A&M victory on Saturday in order to reach next weekends SEC championship game. Even without a division crown, the Tigers could still get an at-large bid to the BCS.
Tyler Wilson was 31 of 52 passing for the Razorbacks (4-8, 2-6), whose fall from preseason top 10 is now complete. The senior set the school record for career passing yards in the loss.
Arkansas Cobi Hamilton set the school record for receptions in a career with 175.
The Tigers took at 17-3 lead early in the second quarter after a 1-yard touchdown run by Jeremy Hill, who finished with 77 yards rushing on 18 carries. The touchdown followed an 86-yard kickoff return by Michael Ford to the Arkansas 9.
It also appeared to be the clincher for LSU against a Razorbacks team that struggled mightily in its first season following the April firing of former coach Bobby Petrino. Arkansas was 21-5 the last two seasons and entered the season with SEC and national championship expectations, but it was eliminated from the bowl picture following last weeks loss at Mississippi State.
The Razorbacks, however, rallied behind the record-setting combination of Wilson and Hamilton.
Wilson passed former Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallets mark of 7,493 yards passing in the second quarter, finishing with 359 yards in the game and 7,765 yards for his career, and his 28-yard touchdown pass to freshman Mekale McKay in the third quarter closed the LSU lead to 17-10.
After forcing a Tigers punt, the Razorbacks used a key fourth-and-1 conversion to set up another scoring opportunity. Wilson found Jonathan Williams for a 37-yard completion on the fourth down at midfield, helping to set up a second-and-goal at the LSU 1.
Arkansas was unable, however, to find the end zone on its next two plays. Interim coach John L. Smith then elected to kick a 17-yard field goal, which backup kicker John Henson converted to close the Tigers lead to 17-13.
The Razorbacks couldnt find the end zone again, bringing a likely end to the Arkansas career of Smith who was signed to a 10-month contract following Petrinos firing. The Razorbacks had one final chance in the closing seconds, but Wilsons second-down attempt from the LSU 18 was over the head of McKay.
LSUs final score came on a 27-yard field goal by Drew Alleman with 1:26 remaining, giving it a 20-13 lead. The score came after a key third-down completion from Mettenberger to Odell Beckham, who finished with eight catches for 112 yards.
The Tigers led 10-0 at halftime in their first game in Fayetteville since 1992. They did so despite gaining the same 165 yards of total offense as the Razorbacks, whose season-long series of miscues continued in the half.
Arkansas, next to last in the SEC in red-zone offense, squandered three scoring opportunities in the half. Dennis Johnson fumbled near the LSU goal line on the games opening drive, and kicker Zach Hocker misfired on a pair of field goal attempts before being benched in favor of Henson in the second half.
LSUs first touchdown came late in the first half when Mettenberger found Landry in the back of the end zone for a 28-yard touchdown. Landry had to reach back over his wrong shoulder to stretch out and snare the ball with his right hand, landing well in bounds.
Hamilton finished with 10 catches for 98 yards in his final game at Arkansas, finishing his career with 175 catches. His record broke the former mark of 168 catches, set last year by Minnesota Vikings rookie Jarius Wright.
LSU was outgained 462-306 by the Razorbacks.
Kent State 28,
Ohio 6
KENT, Ohio C.J. Malauulu returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown 12 seconds after another Kent State TD and the No. 23 Golden Flashes completed a perfect season in the Mid-American Conference with their 10th straight win, 28-6 over Ohio on Friday.
The regular-season finale was a tuneup for Kent State (11-1, 8-0 MAC), which will meet No. 24 Northern Illinois in next weeks MAC championship. The win allowed the Golden Flashes to continue the best season in the programs 90-year history. They are ranked for the first time since 1972, the last time they appeared in a bowl game.
Trayion Durham rushed for 97 yards and scored on a 15-yard run in the first quarter to put Kent State ahead 14-0.
On Ohios next play, Malauulu picked off Tyler Tettleton and scored.
The Bobcats (8-4, 4-4) lost four of their last five after cracking the Top 25.
With representatives from the Military and GoDaddy.com bowls on hand, the Golden Flashes put on a dazzling show early before the game bogged down into a puntfest. But Kent State took advantage of Ohios mistakes in the opening quarter and did enough to pad its bowl resume.
The Golden Flashes entered the season hoping to build on a strong finish in 2011, when they won four of their last five.
But no one could have expected such a dramatic turnaround in coach Darrell Hazells second season, which will have at least two more games.
Kent State is the first MAC East school to go 8-0 in conference play since 2003, when Miami did it behind senior quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
The Golden Flashes came in leading all FBS schools in turnover margin, and they wasted little time forcing the Bobcats, who seemed sleepy with an 11 a.m. kickoff, to cough up the ball.
Kent State scored two defensive touchdowns in the first quarter one on a 50-yard fumble return, the other on Malauulus pick to stun Ohio and open a 21-0 lead.
Just 12 seconds after Durhams 15-yard burst, aided by some bad tackling, made it 14-0, Malauulu, a senior from Oceanside, Calif., picked off Tettleton in the middle of the field. He found some blocks down the left sideline and dived inside the front pylon for the score, which survived a video replay.
Earlier, Malauulu stripped running back Beau Blankenship and Kent States Luke Wollet fielded a one-hopper off the turf and sprinted half the field to make it 7-0.
Ohio managed a 33-yard field goal by Matt Weller to close the quarter, but the Bobcats were down 18 despite outgaining the Golden Flashes, running more than twice as many offensive plays and holding the ball for eight more minutes.
Wellers 41-yard field goal with 15 seconds left before halftime trimmed Kent States lead to 21-6 and sent Ohios players to the locker room with some confidence after being on the verge of a blowout loss.
But the Bobcats, who also hurt themselves with penalties in the first half, couldnt get anything going on offense after halftime. Still, they were hanging around in the fourth quarter before Kent States Spencer Keith hit Eric Adeyemi for a 24-yard TD to make it 28-6.
Following the game, Kent States players paused on the way to the locker room and each rang a victory bell.
Once ignored, the Golden Flashes are making some noise.
N. Illinois 49,
E. Michigan 7
YPSILANTI, Mich. Jordan Lynch ran for 114 yards and Akeem Daniels scored a career-best four touchdowns as No. 24 Northern Illinois won its 11th straight game, 49-7 against Eastern Michigan on a cold and snowy Saturday.
Daniels scored on runs of 25 and 20 yards in the first half and finished with a career-high 112 yards on 12 carries to help the Huskies (11-1, 8-0) cap a perfect run through the Mid-American Conference.
He added touchdowns carries from 19 and 16 yards out in the second half.
Lynch, a week removed from a 407-yard passing performance, was 16 for 25 for 168 yards but extended his FBS record streak of 100-yard rushing games by a quarterback. He had 20 carries to crack the century mark for the 10th straight game.
The West division winners will go for a second straight conference title when they face No. 23 Kent State in next weeks championship game. The Huskies have defeated 15 straight MAC opponents.
Eastern Michigan (2-10, 1-7) tied the game 7-7 late in the first quarter but Northern Illinois needed just 15 seconds to retake the lead.
Tommylee Lewis returned the ensuing kickoff 93 yards to score the first of three straight touchdowns that gave the Huskies a 28-7 lead at intermission.
The return touchdown, the third of his career, set a new school record.
It was 38 degrees and windy at kickoff and snow flurries covered the artificial surface early in the second quarter. The Huskies mostly kept the ball on the ground after that but got a 43-yard touchdown pass from Lynch to Martel Moore in the final minute of the half.
Sean Evans intercepted Eagles quarterback Tyler Benz early in the fourth quarter to set up Daniels final touchdown run and Jacob Brinlee added an 11-yard scoring run in the final minutes of the game.
Moore had nine catches for 116 yards to become the first Huskies receiver with 1,000 yards in a season since 2005.
EMU, which hosted a ranked opponent for the first time in school history, fell to 0-7 all-time against Top-25 teams.
Benz was 10 for 22 for 96 yards and hit Matt Boyd with a 20-yard strike for the Eagles only touchdown. The Huskies sacked him three times.
The snow stopped at halftime but persistent, chilly winds shooed most of the crowd by the start of the fourth quarter. Northern Illinois will find the conditions much better next week when it plays for the conference title in climate-controlled Ford Field in Detroit.
Nebraska 3,
Iowa 7
IOWA CITY, Iowa Rex Burkhead scored the go-ahead touchdown in his return from a knee injury and No. 17 Nebraska beat Iowa 13-7 on Friday to secure a spot in the Big Ten title game.
The Huskers (10-2, 7-1 Big Ten) will face off against Wisconsin next Saturday in Indianapolis. Itll be a rematch of Nebraskas thrilling 30-27 home win over the Badgers in late September.
Burkhead, making his first appearance since aggravating a sprained left knee on Oct. 20 against Northwestern, broke through with a 3-yard TD run to make it 13-7 late in the third quarter.
Alonzo Whaleys interception with 2:11 left sealed the victory for Nebraska.
The Huskers defense held the Hawkeyes (4-8, 2-6) scoreless in the final three quarters in windy conditions.
Mark Weisman had 91 yards rushing for Iowa, which finished the season on a six-game losing streak. The Hawkeyes will miss out on a bowl game for just the second time since 2000.
Nebraskas offense spent much of the day stifled by a stiff wind that gisted up to 40 mph and a surprisingly stout Iowa defense.
Fittingly, quarterback Taylor Martinez and Burkhead teamed up to put the Huskers ahead.
Martinez beat quadruple coverage for an 18-yard completion to Braylon Heard, an impressive hookup considering the conditions. Burkhead was in the end zone a few plays later to make it 13-7 with 3:10 left in the third quarter.
Iowa pinned Nebraska at the 1 with 12:03 left, but Burkhead willed the Huskers out of harms way with runs of 9 and 8 yards into the wind.
Though the Huskers were later forced to punt, Burkhead helped them avoid the worst while burning valuable minutes off the clock.
Burkhead finished with 69 yards rushing all in the second half.
A mild fall in the Midwest came to an abrupt end on Friday.
During the national anthem, the breeze at Kinnick Stadium was so strong it nearly blew over the American flag and the man holding it. The wind chill hovered in the teens all day.
The conditions made passing a risky venture. Martinez threw for just 63 yards, while Iowas James Vandenberg had 92 yards passing and two picks.
Nebraska threw just once on a 16-play drive that led to a field goal, and Iowa did the same on a 62-yard drive that led to a 1-yard plunge from Vandenberg and a 7-3 lead it held at halftime.
The Huskers muffed a punt and Martinez fumbled and nearly threw a pick in the second quarter. But Iowas offense, which was lackluster all season, couldnt turn those miscues into points.
The year-long ineptitude of Iowas offense reached its nadir late in the first half. They were penalized for having too many men on the field even though they were coming out of a timeout and Mike Meyer followed with a missed field goal.
The Huskers had the wind at their backs to start the second half, allowing Brett Maher to nail a 52-yard field goal.
Nebraska finished with a 7-1 conference mark for the first time since 2001, when it posted the same mark in the Big 12.
With one more Big Ten win next weekend, Nebraska is headed to the Rose Bowl.

A.S. Radiologic Technology
The two-year program in radiologic technology affords the individual knowledge and ability in the performance of medical imaging procedures. Students participate in structured clinical settings involving direct patient contact which encompasses varied imaging modalities.
The program has restricted enrollment and accepts one class per year with classes beginning in May. Students must obtain a grade of "C," or better, in each radiologic technology course, in algebra and human anatomy and physiology/laboratory, as well as all required general education courses. On successful completion of the associate degree program in radiologic technology, the graduate is eligible to apply for admission to the certification examination in radiography administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Successful completion of the ARRT examination provides certification for the graduate to practice as a registered radiographer. All support courses must be completed prior to or concurrent with the curriculum course sequence as listed in the catalog. Once accepted into the program all Radiologic Technology (RADT) coursework must be completed within a three (3) year period.
Registered technologists who have graduated from certificate programs may obtain an associate of science degree by completing 27 semester hours of general education courses as required by the curriculum. The College grants 42 semester hours of block credit based upon post certification.
The curriculum in radiologic technology is offered in Bluefield on the main campus and at the Erma Byrd Higher Education Center. The radiologic technology courses at the Higher Education Center are taught by Bluefield State College radiologic technology faculty. Students may elect to take the non-radiologic technology courses at Bluefield State College or other area colleges. Courses taken at other colleges must have prior approval. These courses must be equivalent to the program courses as judged by Bluefield State College (see transfer credit policy). The radiography program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (20 N. Wacker Drive, Suite 2850 Chicago, IL 60606-3182;(312)704-5300) and approved by the West Virginia Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Board of Examiners (P.O. Box 638 1715 Flat Top Road Cool Ridge, WV 25825; 304-787-4398)
Meeting minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the Associate of Science in Radiologic Technology program.
Eligibility requirements for admission to the associate degree program include:
Meet general admission requirements.
- Complete the TEAS V Admission test with a proficient or higher overall score. Completion of TEAS V does not meet all requirements for admissions to the program. TEAS Vcan be taken September 1 – January 31 each year. TEAS V can be taken twice (there must be 30 days between each attempt). Score on the TEAS V are valid for two academic years.
