DETROIT -- Scott Kazmir and Carl Crawford were too much to handle for the struggling Detroit Tigers.
Kazmir pitched six scoreless innings, Crawford homered and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays beat Detroit 8-1 Thursday to win consecutive road games for the first time in nearly two months. The victory clinched the season series for the Devil Rays, the first time they've accomplished that against a defending AL champion.
Kazmir (9-7) gave up three hits, struck out seven and walked one to win his second consecutive start. He pitched out of a two-on jam in the fourth by striking out Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen, then retiring Ivan Rodriguez on a grounder.
Kazmir's victory came a night after teammate James Shields pitched seven strong innings in a 7-1 win.
"That's why I wanted them back-to-back," Devil Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Hopefully, we can build off this."
Before beating the Tigers on Wednesday, Tampa Bay had lost eight consecutive road games and 19 of 21, and had not won consecutive games away from home since June 17-18 against Colorado and Arizona.
Detroit split the four-game series against the team with the worst record in the major leagues (44-70) and has lost six of eight. The Tigers are 11-17 since the All-Star break.
"The little extra spark we had last year is not here," manager Jim Leyland said. "We better find it. ... We're playing like it doesn't mean enough to us."
Jeremy Bonderman (10-5) dropped his fourth consecutive start, giving up seven runs and 10 hits in six innings. He has allowed 23 runs in his last three outings. Bonderman, who was 10-1 in mid-July, did not speak to reporters after the loss, the second game in a row in which he's allowed 10 hits.
He's not Detroit's only faltering pitcher: Tigers starters have won just once in the team's last 22 games.
"He's the least of my worries," Leyland said about the right-hander. "He's one of my horses and I'll stick by him."
Crawford was 3-for-4 with the homer and two doubles for the Devil Rays. He is hitting .433 since the All-Star break and is the major leagues' best hitter in day games (.417).
"Everything he hits right now -- breaking balls, fastballs -- it doesn't matter," Maddon said. "He's locked in right now."
Bonderman, frequently dogged by shaky opening innings this season, walked three during a 30-pitch first but allowed just one run, on Delmon Young's two-out bloop single. Bonderman then struck out Ben Zobrist with the bases loaded.
Crawford extended his hitting streak to 10 games in the fifth inning with a two-run homer, and Zobrist hit an RBI double in the sixth that made it 4-0.
"I'm just trying to keep it simple," said Crawford, who has 18 hits in his last 27 at-bats. "Just trying to get a base hit. I'm not swinging at bad pitches."
Teammate Carlos Pena thought Crawford was being too modest.
"He's as hot as I've seen in my life," he said. "It's awesome, a lot of fun to watch."
Bonderman gave up three consecutive hits to start the seventh and was chased by B.J. Upton's run-scoring single. Young and Greg Norton hit RBI singles off Tim Byrdak, and Zobrist's sacrifice fly made it 8-0.
Omar Infante singled home Detroit's run in the seventh off Gary Glover. Outfielder Marcus Thames, recalled from a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, went 2-for-4 with a run in his first game since July 19, when he pulled a hamstring at Minnesota.
Polanco went 2-for-4 to pass teammate Ordonez for the AL batting lead.
- Morning showers delayed the start by 28 minutes.
- Crawford stole his AL-leading 37th base in the first.
- A crowd of 38,789 sent the Tigers over two million in home attendance for a team-record third consecutive season.

Oh, and it runs on air.
Created by Steve Sammartino and Raul Oaida in Melbourne, Australia, the Lego car consists of over 500,000 LEGO pieces and can hit blistering speeds of about 12-20 miles per hour.
Though the "wheels and some load bearing elements are non-LEGO," the car's four orbital, air-powered engines are constructed from standard LEGO pieces and feature a total of 256 pistons.
The entire thing project was funded from one tweet by entrepreneur Sammartino, which makes us think we should use Twitter for more than starting feuds with teenagers in other countries.
Sadly, it does not come with a LEGO backseat driver to tell you when an appropriate time to change lanes would be.

A fine summarization of the communityYou're a fine example of how gamer communities have become infested with endlessly whining and bitching, arrogant, opinionated, unreasonable, all the way immature, completely delusional, tendentially psychotic, insulting individuals one really doesn't want to be linked with. And playing with you guys is certainly no fun at all. I don't know where this kind of folks spawns from. Must be a nest somewhere ...
Yeah the vomit angels nearly made me dry heave when I watched the film >_< but I'm sensitive to vomit and anything related to it heh.

Don't you love the guys/gals that get their investment advice from the water cooler? You know the guys and gals that are constantly hopping on the bandwagon of whatever terrible investment advice that their co-workers heard on the radio on the way in this morning?
"I watched Jim Cramer last night and he said that even though last week he hated this renewable energy stock, since it has went down 7% he is now in love with it, and at it's current prices it is the best buying opportunity for this decade"
Everyone then nods their heads and positively affirms how smart everyone else is in the group. Now I often do this simply because it gets really socially awkward when you tell someone that they should probably just light their money on fire as do what they are proposing. If you tell someone that their vaunted financial expertise is exactly the sort of thing that the financial sector preys on, they tend to want to ostracize you. However, after I am done giving my false contribution to group dynamics it would never enter my mind to act on the advice, and yet countless others do.
There are actually some fairly straightforward reasons why this style of investing is more harmful than most. By trying to jump on the latest investing fad that your buddies heard about through the most recent mainstream media, you are almost guaranteed to buy at a market top, and then if you are like most investors you will panic when the investment starts to cycle downwards and likely sell at a very bad time. In other words you will do the exact opposite of buy low, sell high. The rationale behind this claim is that by the time most people around the average office water cooler (obviously if you work on Bay Street or Wall Street your water cooler is a little different… for starters it's probably gold plated) it has made its rounds on the various media circuits. The real investors, the hardcore traders, and hedge fund managers have already been in and made their money. By the time the media reports on an investing movement, almost always the majority of the bull run has taken place and now they are just encouraging speculation. Speculation is when people purchase an asset not because they think it has good value, but because they believe the price will continue to go up and they can sell it for a profit. That in a nutshell is how bubbles happen, and why so many people can't figure out why their investment returns most years.
Before you take someone else's investment advice, I advise you to take a look at how the average person does picking stocks. If you're in a hurry, I'll save you the trouble, the vast majority of investors, no matter the geographical location or asset class will severely underperform the overall returns of their index. In other words, if they just bought ETFs or index funds they would be far better off. As a general rule, when Glenn Beck begins to pitch your asset class (hey gold lovers out there – that's you!) it's time to sell and run for cover.
The really interesting thing is that the guys out there that actually do make a ton of money in the stock market and experience above average returns, do so at the expense of the water cooler/investing fad types. Warren Buffet is famous for saying, "You pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus." His philosophy revolves around investing in companies when there is proverbial blood in the streets. When everyone else panics, he simply wades in and buys companies at depressed prices because of all the volume that is suddenly on the market. There are other lesser-known investors out there who make pretty decent returns most years by simply doing the opposite of whatever most people are doing. This is called the contrarian investing style, and it would be interesting to try (if I wasn't an ETF convert). Maybe I'll do a test in the future by simply turning on the investment shows at night and buying whatever is the opposite of what there are saying. I'm fairly certain that strategy would outperform the average investor.
Don't let the fancy production levels and talking heads convince you the latest investment fad is the ticket, or that this downward cycle is different than all the others and you need to sell now. Simply have faith that capitalism and entrepreneurship will continue to drive money towards businesses that can get you a decent return on it. The world is still growing by leaps and bounds, simply investing money in the market average and leaving it alone is by far the best policy for most people. Unless you heard that tip on gold bullion last week… deal of the decade they say…

Boeing 777 Crashes in San Francisco
Amateur plane spotter Fred Hayes actually filmed the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214, in a video exclusively obtained by CNN, which killed two people yesterday at San Francisco International Airport. 06/07/2013 - Boeing 777 Crash Lands at SF Airport | A plane crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport Saturday morning after its tail came off while it was touching down on the runway. According to a witness, around 11:20 a.m. the plane was just about to land -- its landing gear had come down -- when the tail of the plane came off. After wobbling for a minute, the aircraft flipped upside down, coming to a stop on runway on it's back. The plane, reportedly a Boeing 777, was coming from South Korea, according to flight tracking information.

OMG. I guess that's all the guy could say. according to the TSA this was a pilot error? the guy has over 10,500 hours in the air. the plane is fairly new to him but I think we have another Failure in parts or fuselage. What does surprise me is that the new rules a pilot or co-pilot only needs about 250 hours of flight time to fly one of these mammoth high capacity airliners. I got that from the news so how accurate it is....well look it up. Apparently so far only two people have been reported lost in this horrific crash as you can see. A lot of fire was in the cabin and they say it took the crew 90 seconds to start evacuation. Well 90 seconds after that isn't bad in my book. Just think how the crew must have been? Then the screaming of passengers. It must not have been an easy task, Although their job but 90 seconds. I would be thankful. I hope no other souls were lost at this point. And I will bet that it was not Pilot error but another troubled tail wing problem as they have had so many in the past. Like the screw that makes the tail Rutter go up and down had failed on many planes.

He waits and watches much as Black Pussy, who is a cousin of Yowler, waits and watches at a mousehole.
This was on the slope of a hill looking to the sea, about a mile from mousehole.
And, as anyone could have guessed, a short time later he pushed his head out of the mousehole in the Administrative Office.
mousehole may be found a little to the westward of Penzance and Newlyn.
mousehole, one of the most delightful fishing-villages in England, is in this parish, far more unspoiled even than Newlyn.
Newlyn, with respect to population, exceeds by one-third that of mousehole.
The little town of mousehole was soon in flames, and a handful of brave men who scorned flight perished at their own doors.
Newlyn itself is easily accessible compared with mousehole, right round the corner, tucked away under the cliff.
She knew every mousehole in the cellar, every spider-web and cracked window-pane in the fascinating attic.
This colony is planted at mousehole; and, according to their account, they have been settled there upwards of three centuries.

AFR Dart Canfield for blown SBC
Which heads would be best for my 36 chev coupe it has a 350 with a BDS blower 10 psi boost it is used mainly for street but some strip I need to stay with the 200 cc intake runner to match my intake I will be upgrading the cam also i currently have 441 castings with some valve and port work and a hydraulic cam any info is greatly appreciated
Without a doubt the AFR 195's will make the most hp. You will be looking at around $200 more for a set of street CNC ported AFR's, but it would take alot more than that to get an as cast head to the point of the AFR's.
This may be an interesting article for you.
The Dart Iron Eagle Platinum would be an excellent value for you.
I agree the iron eagles are the best for the $$$, but the AFR have the thickest deck of any in the industry. I believe they would be the best for the application if money is not in question.

CAO Q&A: economic prospects drive shifts in college course preferences
Increase in applications for engineering, science and agriculture/food courses reflects changing economy
The number of students sitting the Leaving Certificate will grow from 52,000 last year to 54,000 this year. Photograph: Bryan O'Brien
What is contained in the latest CAO figures?
The Central Applications Office figures released today show there has been an increase of 1,940 college applicants since the equivalent figures last March. This increase is accounted for by the increase in the numbers sitting the Leaving Certificate in next June, which will grow from 52,000 last year to 54,000 this year.
Today's CAO statistics are not the final picture of the application pattern among the 17 categories of degree programmes on offer this year. More than 6,000 applicants have not yet indicated course choices and are under no obligation to do until the July 1st deadline. Given the pattern of previous years, a further 6,000 applicants will register applications on or before the May 1st deadline, increasing this year's application number to 79,000.
Who are the 73,091 individuals who have indicated their interest in securing college places this year?
Fifteen per cent, or 11,079 of them, are classified as mature applicants, being 23 years of age or older (born on or before January 1st, 1991). The number of mature applicants, which increased initially after the economic downturn in 2008, has in the past four years dropped back due to a combination of factors: emigration in this age group, cutbacks in funding support for mature applicants and increased employment opportunities in the past two years. With 47-48 per cent of mature applicants securing places each year, they are likely to secure about 6,255, or 13.5 per cent, of the 46,149 places available.
In 2013, 15,767 applicants presented Fetac qualifications, and represented 20 per cent of overall applicants. Unfortunately only 3,033, or 6.6 per cent of the 46,162 successful CAO applicants, secured college places based on Fetac awards. This should be an issue of huge concern to policymakers in the Department of Education and Skills.
There a disconnect between the numbers hoping to secure CAO places through taking post-Leaving Certificate courses leading to Fetac awards and the numbers of places provided by third-level colleges.
Every year, for example, thousands of Leaving Certificate students who apply for level-eight honours degree nursing programmes, and fail to secure them due to the high points requirements, take pre-nursing PLC programmes. More than 400 of these students each year secure perfect scores of eight distinctions in their Fetac awards. However, only 92 places out of 1,660 are on offer to PLC candidates. If this happened to hundreds of Leaving Certificate students who secured 625 points but failed to secure college places there would be national uproar.
Apart from about 1,000 students from Northern Ireland and the UK, and similar numbers from the rest of the EU, the remaining 44,000 CAO applicants to date, plus the 6,000 expected to apply by May 1st, sat the Leaving Certificate last year or are sitting it next June. Seventy per cent of them will secure college places next August, based on previous years' figures.
What do the initial statistics published by the CAO today tell us about changes in application patterns?
First, a health warning: the CAO has advised that all 40-plus institutions have reviewed the classification of their courses this year, which has led to the reclassification of some courses. Certain courses, for example in the fields of computer science and technology, that were previously classified as within science have been reclassified as engineering programmes. This complicates any comparison of last year's CAO application figures with this year's.
That said, several things are clear from the figures. Applications to science programmes, which have doubled since 2008, have maintained their attractiveness to applicants. Numbers are up more than 10 per cent at levels six and seven and up at least slightly at level eight (allowing for reclassification of some science programmes as technology courses).
Application numbers for engineering programmes are up more than 10 per cent, but again this increase may be affected by course reclassification.
The increase in popularity of agriculture and food programmes has continued this year – applications have risen at level eight by more than 12 per cent again. First-choice demand for business programmes at level eight is up 5.5 per cent, reflecting the recovery in the economy.
The biggest recovery has been in the field of construction. In 2008, 563 applicants made a construction-related course their first choice, leading to 240 applicants securing places. Following the collapse in the construction industry that year, the number of level-eight applicants in the March 2013 figures had dropped to 133, rising to 195 by the end of the application season last September. In 2012 only 137 construction-related places were taken up at level eight throughout the third-level system.
To date this year 312 applicants have chosen a construction-related course as their first preference. Given the pattern of previous years, this should rise to more than 400 by next September, equalling the 2009 numbers. This recovery in interest is also evident in the figures for levels six and seven, where the increase is more than 100 per cent. Reflecting this trend, first-choice applications to architecture are up 15 per cent.
The overall message from these figures is that there is, as always, one principal factor driving changes in the choice of courses: the perception of employment opportunities on the part of students and parents.

This was King Hipster. I can't believe he even allowed himself to be seen with Ms. Cuffed Pants. I guess she was being balanced out by "Grunge-Dyed-Hair" on his right.
Strange kofia hat, matching puffy shirt, bleach blond handlebar mustache with mutiple curls on the ends, John Lennon glasses, a kilt and what looked to be dancing shoes.
Spotted in downtown LA, home of the SoCal hipster, just outside Bottega Louie.
Unbeatable, right?

Pureed Mushroom Soup
- Servings: 6
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, January Winter 2008
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 20 ounces button mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
- 1 baking potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion. Season with salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add mushrooms, potato, broth, and enough water (4 to 5 cups) to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and simmer until mushrooms and potato are tender, about 20 minutes.
Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree broth and vegetables until smooth. If using a blender, work in batches and fill only halfway, allowing heat to escape: Remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid firmly with a dish towel, and blend. Transfer to a clean pot as you work. Adjust soups consistency with a little water if necessary. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Reviews Add a comment
Umreeh8 APR, 2013Watery and bland. We made this tonight and followed the recipe exactly. If we decide to make this again, we will try sauteing the mushrooms first and adding less water or just use broth. Cornstarch to thicken the soup wouldn't hurt either. Try at your own risk.Reply

Two key economic reports from private analysts today point to big improvement on the jobs front, although the stock market appears to be waiting on the sidelines for Friday's official monthly report from the Labor Department.
The global outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas says downsizing activity in 2010 fell to its lowest level since 1997. Employers announced plans to eliminate less than 530,000 positions. The company says planned layoffs of 32,004 in December represent a 34% drop from November.
The ADP National Employment Report finds private-sector employment increased by 297,000 from November to December -- a pace it calls "well above what is usually associated with a declining unemployment rate."
Early response from Wall Street was cautious, as investors apparently prefer to wait for Friday Labor Department statistics.
The Montreal Gazette calls the ADP figure "eye-popping" but quotes one analyst as noting that the survey is not always an accurate guide to the official number. Still, the Gazette finds a consensus among analysts that "this ADP reading is just too big, and too positive, to ignore."

Dave Anderson's Forest Journal: Managing our woodlands: Trees don't care, but we should
DAVE ANDERSON | November 09. 2013 12:48AM
A RELATED story comes from people who misconstrue the Forest Society's name to assume that our mission is to protect each and every tree. On one occasion, an old-timer chortled with disdain that we rather need a "Society for the prevention of forests." Given an opportunity, he schooled this college-boy naturalist in his classic New Hampshire dialect:
"Forest Journal" appears every other week in the New Hampshire Sunday News. Naturalist Dave Anderson is Director of Education and Volunteer Services for the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com or through the Forest Society Web site: forestsociety.org.

Cheese and wine, nothing on Earth can top that combo!
We seem to be in the same boat, I never get colds. This past winter was stressful on many levels, and I ended up with two! Not fun.
Eating better and finally getting back into exercise again have made huge changes, on many levels. I began light weight training and got back into yoga about a month ago. I always struggled to find activities that either didn't bore me or irritate an old knee injury, plus working full time and having a toddler I have little time to cram in workouts. Funny you mention depression; I ended up with bad postpartum depression after my son was born, which is FINALLY easing up. He's 20 months old, it went on far too long. I was prescribed meds, but did not want to take them. I believe 100% that diet modification and becoming more active is what got me over that hump, along with "cleaning out" the sources of stress in my life.

Flat is Fine
When youre outfitting a cruising boats galley, its wise to select flatware that has no pattern. Leave the Climbing Rose and Parthenon patterns at home. When youre on the water, particularly salt water, you want the surface of your eating utensils to be as featureless and smooth as your chainplatesfor the same reason. Every ripple and crevice in a piece of patterned cutlery can harbor moisture and salt, eventually producing rust stains.
Fortunately, theres a payback. A good-quality piece of patternless flatware that has a smooth, polished finish can be washed three times a day in seawater and will remain blemish free. Don Casey

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Preview @ IGN
Saying the demo "looked great", IGN has a preview of DX:HR, describing the demo they saw blow-by-blow:
As the action begins, Jensen is high up in a gritty apartment complex. He moves out into the streets draped in Blade Runner-esque neon lighting and packed with large, overlapping animated advertisements. Eidos Montreal created over 100 fake brands and logos to make this world feel real, something you can really feel the effects of when blasted with walls of fictional advertisements like this. It's a world stuffed with detail, one that feels worn and lived-in. Curious onlookers peer from windows high above at Jensen as he passes. Steam drifts lazily up from a window-mounted air conditioning unit into the misty air. Bike racks and trash cans line the streets as non-player characters chatter and move between vendor stands selling vegetables under the green and gold glow of the billboard ads. As you might expect, should Jensen pull out a silenced pistol and point it at an NPC, they react with fright, gulping in surprise. Eidos Montreal says you can talk to every NPC in the game, which should be good news for patient players who like to take their time and explore every part of a game world.

Article, 2009 Season - Ohlone College Renegades Men's Baseball
Former Cal High players are twin towers of power
By Kyle Bonagura, Staff writer.
Thursday, May 7, 2009—Reprinted from Contra Costa Times.
For Jeff and Zach Johnson, life had always been about baseball.
So when the twin brothers found themselves working on-and-off for their mother, doing odd jobs at Blackhawk Plastic Surgery last year, it wasn't the situation they envisioned when they graduated from California High in 2006.
They were supposed to be playing ball.
Unhappy with office work, the twins connected with their old hitting coach Fernando Rios, whom they first worked with at age 8, and began working out in his backyard cage in Castro Valley.
It was there that Rios arranged a meeting among first-year Ohlone College baseball coach Jordon Twohig and the Johnsons.
"I talked to Fernando, and he said he had these kids that he had been working with and that their swings were looking good," Twohig said. "So I went out to Castro Valley and watched them swing in his back yard. Our recruiting was already done, but we decided to let Jeff and Zach come out in the fall and start working out with us."
For Jeff, the opportunity just to work out with the team was something he said he was infinitely grateful for.
"(Twohig) was very honest. He said 'I can't guarantee you anything, but we'll let you come out,'"‰" Jeff said. "That's all I needed to hear."
With a golden opportunity in front of him, Jeff didn't let it go to waste. He lived in the batting cage and weight room, dropped 45 pounds to 185 and turned into one of the best junior college hitters in California.
He batted .384 and led the state in home runs (17) and RBI (61) while guiding Ohlone to the state's No. 1 ranking and a No. 6 national mark by Perfect Game Baseball. He was a unanimous first-ream All-Coast Conference Pacific Division selection as a designated hitter and is expected to be an All-Northern California selection and a possible All-American.
Zach was nearly as good, finishing the regular season with a .350 average, six homers and 44 RBI and also was a first-team All-Coast Conference pick at third base.
The top-seeded Renegades (35-9) begin the Northern California regionals at home at 2 p.m. today in a best-of-three series against No. 16 Chabot (26-16). Their 35 wins tops the school record set by the 2002 team that went 34-14.
Coming out of high school, Jeff and Zach enrolled at Diablo Valley College and intended on playing for the Vikings. However, injuries and academic issues prevented either of them from lasting long at the school.
"School got in the way (at DVC)," Jeff said. "I wasn't focused and things didn't work out."
It didn't help that nearly 100 players were working out with the team and chances of sticking with the program seemed slim.
Jeff decided to move to Southern California and test his luck at Orange Coast College, but after being told he would likely never see the field, he moved back home and started working full time at the plastic surgery center.
"I thought I was probably done with baseball at that point," he said.
Zach moved to San Diego with friends in the fall of 2007 and tried to make the team at Grossmont College, but elbow problems derailed any chance he had there, and he also ended up moving home shortly after.
"I tried to go play independent ball, but they kept telling me to go back and try to play at a JC," Zach said.
The advice paid off as several scouts took notice this year.
"Kentucky, LSU and every major school on the West Coast has called about one or both of them," Twohig said. "And there has been interest from pro scouts, as well. Although, I think it would take a substantial offer to get them to sign (with a pro team) this year."

April 6, 2003
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- In a match that was delayed by rain and then moved indoors, Tennessee's men's tennis team lost to No. 20 South Carolina 4-2 Sunday at the Sam Daniel Tennis Center. The Vols' fourth consecutive loss brings their record to 9-10 (2-8 SEC), moving the program below the .500 mark for the first time since January 1997.
"Once again we had a good effort by our No. 1 and No. 2 players (Simon Rea and Mark Dietrich)," Tennessee head coach Michael Fancutt said. "They need some support from the other members of the team."
As it has all season long, the top of the Volunteers' singles lineup played strong and delivered victories, with Rea continuing his dominance at the No. 1 position and Dietrich coming through at the No. 2 spot.
Rea, currently ranked No. 33 in the nation, dispatched No. 67-ranked Seth Rose in straight sets. The win was Rea's third straight, improving his already outstanding season singles record to a team-best 25-7. The New Zealand native has led by example all season long, and has drawn praise from his coaches for his tremendous focus and dedicated work ethic.
Another clutch performer for the Vols this season has been sophomore Mark Dietrich. Dietrich has made somewhat of a habit of taking part in marathon matches lately, as eight of his last 11 singles contests have gone to three sets. Sunday's win marked the second time in the past week that he has recorded an upset singles victory.
Despite the efforts of Tennessee's top-two performers, the Gamecocks (16-4, 5-4 SEC) were able to defeat the Vols for the first time since the 1999 season. South Carolina got wins at Nos. 3 through 5 singles, in addition to the doubles point, giving the team it's 10th consecutive home victory.
Tennessee added one win during doubles competition, as Dietrich and partner Wade Orr defeated the Gamecocks' top duo at the No. 1 slot.
In its final dual match of the season, Tennessee faces SEC Eastern Division rival Georgia in Athens, Ga., Saturday, April 12. The Bulldogs (7-13, 3-7 SEC) are currently ranked No. 18 in the nation and have lost three straight matches.

UPDATED: New London firefighters extinguish two-family home fire; residents displaced
New London – City firefighters on Tuesday extinguished a fire at a two-family home at 7 Williams St. that displaced multiple residents.
Reported at about 6:25 p.m., fire was discovered on the second floor where it had damaged the kitchen and surrounding area, according to Battalion Chief Marc Melanson. The building sustained heavy smoke damage and some water damage. No injuries were reported.
No one was in the building when firefighters arrived and witnesses said neighbors called 911 when they noticed the smoke. Melanson said at least four people lived in the two apartments, though the exact number had not been determined. The Red Cross was notified and expected to help with emergency needs of the families and to provide a temporary place to stay.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the city fire marshal's office.
Williams Street and a portion of Blackhall Street were temporarily closed while firefighters were on scene. New London was joined by a firefighter assistance team from the Naval Submarine Base Fire Department.

Pulp and Paper Processing Equipment Information
Pulp and paper processing equipment includes Fourdrinier machines, pulpers, digesters, refiners, chippers, chip processors, and other specialized machinery for processing pulp and forming paper webs. Typically, paper is made of wood pulp; plant, polymer, or inorganic fibers; or non-fibrous materials. Pulp and paper processing equipment also includes machinery for completing secondary operations such as sizing, calendaring, glazing, saturation, coating, folding, corrugating, perforating, slitting, and sheeting. This secondary processing may incorporated into the initial production process, or completed off-machine with specialized pulp and paper processing equipment.
When selecting pulp and paper processing equipment, paper type and application are important parameters to consider. There are three major categories of paper: commercial paper, industrial paper, and paperboard. Commercial papers are produced as a single layer. Subcategories include text and cover stock, graphic arts and fine arts papers, currency stock, newsprint, packaging and barrier papers, and tissue and sanitary papers. Industrial papers are designed to meet strict technical requirements. Subcategories include coated and coating base papers, saturated and saturating base papers, filtration and separation media, absorbent and blotting media, electrical insulation papers and separators, thermal insulation and fireproofing papers, gasketing and sealing materials, and structural and composite papers. Pulp and paper processing equipment for paperboard is also available. There are three subcategories of paperboard: linerboard, corrugating medium, and solid bleached paperboard.
Selecting pulp and paper processing equipment may require an analysis of secondary capabilities. Sizing is the process of lightly coating one or both surfaces of a paper with a starch solution to enhance surface properties. Calendering presses paper and paper products between two rolls under high pressure. As paper density and surface smoothness increase, porosity and thickness decrease. Glazing produces similar results, but uses a moving ball to apply high pressure to only one side of the paper. Saturation is an immersion process in which paper is fully wetted - typically with a latex dispersion - and subsequently dried. Coating applies one or more layers of material to one or both surfaces of a paper. Perforated papers and paperboard products have minor cut marks in the cross-roll direction. Sheeting cuts a roll of paper into sheets of uniform dimension. Pulp and paper processing equipment that can perform other secondary operations is also available.

Tonight at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, a play was to be read -- a play about the meeting of two people killed by hate: Anne Frank and Emmett Till. Now, another hateful killing has postponed the event.
A gunman opened fire in the museum today, killing security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns before he was shot himself. Law enforcement said that white supremacist and keeper of an anti-Semitic website James Von Brunn, 88, was under investigation in the shooting.
Cathy is away this week, but before she left she wrote about Anne and Emmett, asking readers if you think memory is a burden, just another part of life or a sacred task.
Playwright Janet Langhart Cohen spoke about her work and today's tragedy just minutes ago on CNN. Her husband, former Secretary of Defense William Cohen, was only feet away from the gunman, the network reports.
The Diary of Anne Frank "taught me at a very early age man's inhumanity," Langhart Cohen said. "We have to get our children young, and that's who's in the Holocaust Museum now ... the kids are hungry to learn what happened."
Anne Frank died in a Nazi concentration camp at age 15 and Emmett Till, a black 14-year-old visiting relatives in Mississippi, was killed by white men in 1955.
"I'd hoped to give voice to them tonight," Langhart Cohen said.
She pointed out that in many European countries, denying the Holocaust is illegal, while in the U.S. such speech is protected by the First Amendment. How much DO YOU THINK speech impacts action? What's the right balance of protecting civil liberties and preventing violence?

Flashy car rims and tires can certainly be attention grabbers.
In Mill Island, thieves have apparently started to take notice.
At least four recent incidents have locals pining for more police patrols.
"They jacked up the cars and stripped them bare," said Saul Needle, the president of the Mill Island Civic Association.
Needle, who is also the chair of Community Board 18, said the 63rd Precinct has been notified about the problem and is "well aware" of it.
"Deputy Inspector Frank Cangiarella promised he would pay more attention to this crime," Needle said.
At press time, Cangiarella was unavailable for comment.
District Manager Dorothy Turano, the district manager of the community board, said the incidents could be indicative of a slowdown in the economy

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Menesses, Keri F. Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-11052008-203747 Title Determining the Relative Efficacy of Reciprocal and Non-reciprocal Peer Tutoring for Students Identified as At-Risk for Academic Failure Degree Master of Arts (M.A.) Department Psychology Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Frank Gresham Committee Chair George Noell Committee Member Jeffrey Tiger Committee Member Keywords
- elementary school students
- direct behavior rating
- curriculum based measurement
- peer tutoring
- remedial math intervention
- reciprocal peer tutoring
Date of Defense 2008-09-30 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe current study directly compared the academic and social gains of reciprocal peer tutoring, non-reciprocal peer tutoring, and traditional classroom instruction with elementary students. Participants included 59 students who performed below-average on class-wide screenings using curriculum-based measurement math probes. Students involved in peer tutoring were trained to tutor basic math facts using a constant time delay procedure. Both types of peer tutoring produced significantly larger academic gains than traditional classroom instruction; the two types of tutoring produced comparable academic and social results, although reciprocal tutoring resulted in marginally larger academic gains. Reciprocal peer tutoring is recommended based on the fact it remediates twice the number of students simultaneously as compared to non-reciprocal tutoring. Files

At La Conner Middle School we recognize that a great deal of effort over the years has been spent on identifying what our students need to know. This process has resulted in benchmarks, GLEs and the MSP. We also recognize that it is just important to focus efforts on how we teach. The staff at La Conner Middle School is actively involved in the school improvement process and professional development related to"how" we should teach. Our research tells us that students succeed at a much higher rate when we have common strategies for teaching reading and writing. Students are more successful when they have opportunities to collaborate and seek answers to essential questions. We also know that we must understand the traditions and cultures of our students in order to activate prior knowledge and engage students at a deeper level. It is our goal to facilitate students in becoming mathematicians, readers, authors, historians, and scientists. It is our goal to have every student prepared to take the high level high school courses which will allow the to enroll in college.
La Conner Middle School statistical information is available within the Washington State Report Card provided by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. This can be found at the following link: http://reportcard.ospi.k12.wa.us/?schoolId=2382&reportLevel=School&orgLi...
Parents have the right to review the Highly Qualified status of their child's teachers.
