GW Softball Knocks Off George Mason, 7-5
Lauren Wilson Drives in Four in Victory
April 11, 2012
FAIRFAX, Va. - The George Washington softball team scored three runs in the final two innings to break a 4-4 tie and defeat local rival George Mason on Wednesday evening at the Mason Softball Complex.
Senior Amanda Zakeri went 3-for-3 and scored two runs, while senior Lauren Wilson drove in four to lead the Colonials. Freshman Samantha Dos Santos also had a pair of hits and scored twice.
The Patriots (10-30) struck first, scoring twice in the bottom of the first inning on a two-run single by shortstop Brooke Blankenship.
GW (13-34) scored four runs in the third to take a 4-2 lead. With the bases loaded and no outs following an error and two infield singles, Wilson reached on another Mason miscue to score Dos Santos and junior Sandi Moynihan with the tying runs. After a groundout, freshman Victoria Valos walked to reload the bases, and sophomore Chelsea Lenhart was also issued a free pass to drive in the third run of the inning. Junior Autumn Taylor's fielder's choice grounder then plated Wilson for the 4-2 lead.
The Patriots responded immediately, as Blankenship led off the bottom of the inning with a triple and scored on a sacrifice fly, and right fielder Samantha Barney tied the game at 4-4 with an RBI single up the middle.
The score remained the same until the sixth, when Wilson broke the tie with a two-out, two-run single to left, which drove in Dos Santos and Zakeri for a 6-4 lead. Mason got one back in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single by pinch hitter Katie Rynex following a leadoff double, but that was as close as the hosts would get.
GW tacked on an insurance run in the seventh when Lenhart singled and Taylor doubled to put runners on second and third with one out for junior Tara Fogarty, whose fielder's choice grounder drove in Lenhart with the seventh run of the game. Mason loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning on two hits and a walk, but designated player Tiffany Webb lined out to end the game.
Senior Heidi Penna (1-0) earned her first win of the season with a solid relief outing. She allowed one run on six hits in four innings of work. Sophomore Courtney Martin started the game and allowed four runs - three earned - on seven hits through three innings.
The third of four Patriot pitchers in the game, Jamie Rice (0-2) suffered the loss after giving up three runs on five hits in three innings in relief.
The Colonials return to action on Friday, when they open a nine-game home stand with a 3 p.m. contest against Atlantic 10 rival Rhode Island.

What I am essentially looking for is an intermediate level skate, any one that would work best for me. if you have any suggestions, please advise?
Would EE not be slightly too wide in Supreme? I am off to the rink now for a free skate session, I will be using my CCM u+ 04 size 7 D. Usually I just tie them up very tight and ignore all the pressure points, I would rather skate than worry about a bit of pain. What I will do today is focus on exactly where the skate feels too tight, this might help, as I can then also measure with the footbed of it.
lol :p
So after today, the same thing, struggling to get decent support out of the skates, have to tie them about 3 times, I use a lace hook to get them tight, because that is how tight I need to yank the laces for them to work okay. The skate feels slightly tight around the wider part of my foot, not exactly painful, but it feels tight. the Length seems okay on the skate, so I guess a size 7 in supreme should do? I also have some pain in the heel area of one of the skates, but I think that is due to how tightly I did the skates up. Does this not mean that an E size might be a bit too wide?

A convicted child rapist who also preyed on prostitutes and used to work as a "stunt man" in sexually explicit movies likely will spend the rest of his life locked up as a violent sex predator, a Spokane jury decided Wednesday.
James A. McMahan, 51, of Spokane, was described by authorities as having a mental abnormality that makes him likely to reoffend if he is released from state custody. The state attorney general's office asked that he be indefinitely confined under civil commitment statutes designed to keep sexually violent predators off the streets after they've completed their prison terms.
"Mr. McMahan is an unusual and highly dangerous sexual predator," Assistant Attorney General Malcolm Ross said Tuesday. "He poses an extraordinary risk both to children and adults."
McMahan has been in state custody since fulfilling his prison term for a 1999 conviction for first-degree rape of a child.
He also pleaded guilty to raping three prostitutes in 1986 in California as part of a plea agreement in which 15 prostitutes claimed that he had raped them while he threatened them with a hatchet. Authorities contend he's been beating and sexually abusing girls and women since 1976.
"His sex offending has consumed him" Ross said. "It has been the focus of his life for several decades."
In court documents, McMahan said he had worked in pornographic films for eight years, working as a "stunt man," Ross said.
Defense attorney Marla Polin did not defend McMahan's actions. Instead, she unsuccessfully argued that the state failed to establish that McMahan – who has diabetes and uses a walker – would seek out more victims if released.

The only 360 degree view on Kenya's capital city; the staff is extremely friendly and it is a great experience for one to have a glance at Nairobi.
Kicc is the second tallest building in Kenya with 28 floors.Its a fantastic destination for business tourism n has actualized the theme of conference tourism not only in Kenya but also in the world by hosting meetings, conventions n events of highest level
We took a walking tour of the city. It included a trip to the top of this building. The view is spectacular. Even though there is an elevator there are also a few flights of stairs to walk. Cost was 400 shillings each.
Fantastic views. Worth the price to see the whole of Nairobi.
You can even get a guide there to point out everything for you, which I Definitely suggest so you know what you are looking at.
The conference centre is right at the heart of the city and next to goverment premises. It has a fabulous view of the city especially when you are on the roof top. Security is also good
This place provides you with amazing views over the city. But security checks are a joke I would of gotten checked like 8 x going up and down and even had to give them my drivers license to go up.
Signature Building intrinsic to the Nairobi Skyline. A must see sight , and easily accessible from the main road. Please be careful about taking pictures since one is never really sure if allowed or not .
Always ask first !
Kenyatta International Convention Center is a beautiful tall building of 28-storys, built in Nairobi in 1974. It is located in city center of Nairobi in the galaxy of very important government buildings like Supreme Court, Parliament, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, City Council Hall, etc. The magnificent building of KICC is visible from all corners of Nairobi. It is still considered...
Want to go on an inexpensive date? Carry a picnic basket, lesso and warm clothing (it gets cold) and enjoy the scenic view of Nairobi, take as many pictures as you can as you spend quality time with your loved one. 10/10 would recommend.
150 for citizens, 300 for tourists(that range)
there will be nobody to direct you. carry i.d, pay at reception, take elevator to 27th floor, go around to the rooftop and have a good one.
Own or manage this property? Claim your listing for free to respond to reviews, update your profile and much more.
I have a layover in Nairobi from 6 am until 3 pm. Is it possible to use this time to get to the city center and see this conference center? If so, what is the best way to reach it and how much is admission? THANKS!
Can anyone just turn up and buy a ticket to go to the viewing area. I have been looking at the website and it is not clear. Are there specific times it is open?
Do you have any questions about Kenyatta International Convention Centr? Ask Me.
