Morneau doubles in return to field for Twins
Morneau doubles in return to field for Twins
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It was a sight that Twins fans had grown accustomed to seeing in recent years -- Justin Morneau lacing a double down the right-field line. But on Tuesday morning, that sight took on special significance because it's been eight months since Morneau had even played in a game. For the first time since suffering a concussion on July 7, Morneau returned to action in a "B" game against the Pirates on Tuesday on a back field at the Lee County Sports Complex. Morneau started at first base against the Pirates and batted cleanup in the lineup. He went 1-for-2 with a three-run double, and he played four innings at first base.
The first baseman had been awaiting clearance from his doctor to begin playing in games this spring. On Monday, exactly eight months after he suffered his concussion, Morneau spoke with the doctor for an hour on the phone. His doctor, who is located in Pittsburgh, gave Morneau the assurance that he needed to make the decision that he was ready to get back out on the field for a game. "The doctor said that I'm not at risk more than anyone else that's out there," Morneau said. "So that's kind of what it came down to."

A loud cheer rang out from the crowd, which was filled with around 200 fans, media, scouts and family members, when Morneau took the field at first for the start of the game. It was clear how much the day meant to Morneau and his family as Morneau's wife, Krista, and their five-month-old daughter, Evelyn, were in attendance for what was a big step in his long recovery from the injury."Just to be standing out there puts a smile on your face," said Morneau, still donning that same smile as he spoke with reporters afterward. "I think I was talking a little more than I normally do out there. I think I was wearing [second baseman Luke Hughes] out out there, just making sure he knew he had the popups over there. But yeah, it was a good feeling." Morneau has endured quite a few ups and downs since suffering a concussion in Toronto last season, where he was accidentally kneed in the head by Blue Jays shortstop John McDonald during a slide into second base. The concussion ended what had started off as an MVP-type season in 2010 for Morneau, who batted .345 with 18 home runs and 56 RBIs in 81 games. Morneau's return to the field on Tuesday came as a slight surprise, because he was not written into the starting lineup for the "B" game that was posted inside the Twins' clubhouse on Tuesday morning. After Morneau decided Monday night that he was ready to play, manager Ron Gardenhire made plans to have the first baseman in the lineup for the early game, but he decided to keep the news quiet so that Morneau had time to prepare without much attention focused on him. And even some of Morneau's teammates didn't know that he was playing until they saw him get dressed in his uniform for the contest. "It was neat that everyone was so excited for [Morneau], including the fans," said right-hander Kevin Slowey, who started the "B" game. "As a family in here, we were excited for him and excited to just see he was continuing to progress. I don't know if you read any more into it than he got a chance to get out there, but it was definitely neat to see." Morneau said he played with no restrictions in the contest. He saw three pitches in his first at-bat of the game in the first inning and grounded into a fielder's choice. In the third inning, Morneau came up with the bases loaded and no outs and lined a bases-clearing double off Pirates pitcher Bryan Morris down the right-field line. Morneau's active day on the basepaths continued when he scored from second on Trevor Plouffe's bloop hit to center, sliding feet first into home even though the play at the plate wasn't close. "It's still a process," Morneau said. "I played [four] innings over there, and I asked [Gardenhire] if it was the eighth. It's one of those things where it's going to take some time to get back into game shape and all the rest of it. But as far as the brain goes, we're hopefully past all the symptoms and all the rest of that stuff. Hopefully, we're where we need to be." Morneau wore sunglasses in the field and at the plate during Tuesday's contest, although he said that he doesn't expect that to continue once the Twins leave the bright Florida sun behind. The plan now is for Morneau to take Wednesday off, when the Twins play the Orioles in Sarasota, Fla., and he said that he could possibly play in Thursday's home game against the Blue Jays. Gardenhire said he'll check with Morneau to see how he's feeling and that "day by day" they'll slowly work him into a schedule. The first baseman said he felt good after the game. But as has been the case throughout his recovery from the concussion, he said that he'd know more a few hours after the game. Still, Tuesday certainly marked a big step for Morneau and he was asked if he feels the concussion is behind him now that he's back in game action. "Cautiously optimistic is a good way to describe it," Morneau said. "I've been through so many ups and downs with this thing. I thought I was good. I thought I was perfect, and obviously, the data didn't support that. This time, the data supports that and the tests and everything else. It gives me a little bit more [confidence]. "When I see myself in the lineup on April 1 and we're running out there as a team, that will be when I'm 100 percent confident that I'm ready."

Angie DeFilippi is suiting up for a run.
"Before Angie gets in the AlterG she's going to get into a pair of these neoprene shorts, which will allow us to zipper her into the Alter G to create an airtight seal," explained Brian Loeffler of On Track Health and Fitness.
That airtight seal is important as DeFilippi recovers from surgery last fall on her Achilles tendon. An accomplished triathlete, DeFilippi has been unable to run until just over a week ago when she was zipped into this anti-gravity treadmill for the first time. The machine calculates DeFilippi's body weight and depending on the load she wants to run with, air will be pumped inside accordingly, whether it puts her at 20, 40, or 80 percent of her body weight. It provides precise weight bearing measurements.
"That air pressure as the bag fills up is what will lift her as she's running," Loeffler said.
It's like running on the moon. And in fact, the technology behind the treadmill stems from NASA research. AlterGs are now in the training rooms of most professional sports teams nationwide. There are just two in Vermont-- the first here at On Track Health and Fitness in Burlington, co-owned by physical therapist Brian Loeffler.
"So with this, when you get into it, the mechanics are exactly the same as when you run on land except that you're not getting the same impact force of gravity," Loeffler said.
So a person in recovery can strengthen their muscles and move in the same fashion pain-free. It's improving recovery times dramatically.
"Over time this will allow us to measure progress of a patient. We start a patient at 20 percent and in three weeks they can tolerate 30 percent; we can see the actual progress and we can measure the progress and show the increased strength over time," Loeffler said.
That's exactly what's happened with DeFilippi, who is rapidly adding more weight as she recovers. Her sights are now set on a competition in May.
"Basically, without this I would've given up on trying to race in May, I think. The window would have closed and I'd have to make new plans," she said.
The AlterG has made all the difference. And experts say this cutting-edge physical therapy isn't just for the injured, it benefits the elderly and elite athletes as well.
The other anti-gravity treadmill in Vermont is located in Bennington. Loeffler says its use in physical therapy is covered by most insurance companies.

The face of Summer Bay's earnest medical intern, Dr Kelly Watson, Hobbs drops
a bombshell about the demise of teen heart-throb Shane Parish (Brummer) that
will leave fans of the soap reeling.
"I killed Shane," she confesses. "My character removed his spleen and months
later he cut himself on a nail and died of septicaemia. He couldn't fight the
infection. Nobody's put the two together."
On set, the unlikely plot twist has earned her the nickname "Dr Death" from
fellow cast members, but Hobbs takes the job of playing an on-screen medico
In the lead-up to joining the soap's cast last August, she tagged along with
doctors on their rounds at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital, taking notes on
everything from their bedside manner to how they held their stethoscopes. An
on-set nurse coaches Hobbs on the finer points of playing a doctor, and she
hopes to accompany paramedics on a shift to experience first-hand the drama of
real-life emergencies.
Outside Home And Away's shooting
schedule, Hobbs escapes to the Soho Bar on Kings Cross's Victoria Street to
down a few soothing ales and unwind playing pool.
"It's not somewhere I go every weekend, but if I go out I will come and play
on the pool tables," she says.
"I love the decor and the atmosphere. It's nice and light, not closed in, and
I love the tiled effect."
Hobbs knows a thing or two about bars, having spent
a year pulling beers in her native New Zealand, as she waited for her acting
career to take off.
"You learn to deal with people really well when you have to tell someone
who's had too much to drink they can't have another round," she says.
She also learned a thing about pool and now counts working the tables in
Sydney bars as one of her greatest passions apart from acting.
"The best time I ever had in a bar was when my
brother and I were playing pool for eight games in a row," she says. "We just
beat every person who came up."
Between frames her preferred drink is a Heineken, a substitute for her
favourite Kiwi beer, Max Gold.
"It's the best beer, naturally fermented, similar to Cascade, but it's got a
Kiwi flavour all of its own," she says. "You don't get hangovers!"

Dior Decorates Their Runway With One Million Fresh Flowers [Video]
Luxury fashion brand impressed the audience even before the models came out.
Christian Dior's new creative director, Raf Simons, made his debut at the recent Autumn/Winter Haute Couture show in Paris, France. The Belgian designer amazed the audience before the models even walked down the runway. The show was held inside a Parisian mansion where five large rooms were decorated with a million real flowers.
The walls were covered from floor to ceiling with fresh flowers, ranging from white orchids, pink peonies, colored roses, and blue delphiniums. Simons recently told The New York Times in an interview that he "wanted to be linked to the codes of Christian Dior – but make it dynamic, modern, energetic."
Watch the video below for the behind-scenes to see how the show all came together:

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:08am
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Head coach Jeff Tambroni formally announced seniors Travis Crane (Parkville, Md.) and Jack Forster (Jenkintown, Pa.) as the captains for the 2013 season on Wednesday. Crane and Forster were elected by votes from their teammates and coaching staff. The decisions were announced to the team prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.
"Our coaching staff and team are very confident that they will do a wonderful job as we make our way through the spring season," Tambroni said. "Both of [these] guys have been around for a long time, one a fifth-year (Crane) the other a sixth-year senior (Forster), and have fought through a lot of adversity in their own right. I think their experience is going to be great for this team at the time that Penn State lacrosse is in its history, and hopefully going to give us an opportunity to turn the page."
Forster, who has come off multiple knee injuries, has scored 63 goals and totaled 91 points in his five-plus years in Happy Valley. After missing the 2008 season, Forster had an incredible redshirt-freshman year, scoring 27 goals with 15 assists and ranking second on the team in points.
He missed the 2010 season due to injury, but returned in 2011 to score 22 times with 34 points, third best on the team. Last year, Forster played in every game for the first time in his career, scoring 27 goals, 15 assists and tying for the team lead with Matthew Mackrides with 42 points.
"It's a great honor to be named captain from out teammates and coaches," Forster said. "I'm looking forward to lead this team with Travis. I'm excited to be back, first off, and we can't really hold anything back this year. It's our last year as a senior class and we're really excited to get the season started."
Crane came to Penn State last year after three years in Maryland, one at UMBC and two at Essex Community College. Crane appeared in 14 games, scoring twice from the midfield position and established himself on faceoffs, collecting 11 ground balls and causing seven turnovers. An attacking midfielder at Essex, he tallied 42 points in 2011 earning NJCAA All-America and All-Tournament team honors. In 2009, Crane saw time in nine games at UMBC.
"It's an unbelievable experience just to be here," Crane said. "I love all the guys on the team. The coaching staff has really welcomed me as part of the family and I couldn't be more thankful for that. Like Jack said, it's an unbelievable honor to be named captain by your teammates and your coaching staff."
Crane and Forster lead a veteran team that was picked 15th by Inside Lacrosse's Face-Off Preseason Yearbook on Nov. 26. Seventy-seven percent of the scoring from last year's team is back with Forster (42 points), Shane Sturgis (Downingtown, Pa.), Nick Dolick (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) and Gavin Ahern (Rockville Centre, N.Y.), all of whom scored double digit goals in 2012.
Penn State also returns USILA All-American goalkeeper Austin Kaut (Morton, Pa.) and face-off specialist Danny Henneghan (Beverly Hills, Mich.) to the fold along with 10 talented freshmen.

The Casimir stress on a spherical shell in de Sitter spacetime for a massless scalar field is calculated using Krein space quantization. In this method, the auxiliary negative frequency states have been utilized, the modes of which do not interact with the physical states and are not affected by the physical boundary conditions. These unphysical states just play the role of an automatic renormalization tool for the theory.

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
To many in the Boston area, he was one of the most hated men. We despised the way he built his teams and formed a Nation to counter his Empire. Still, George Steinbrenner should be respected as one of the greatest owners in baseball history.
George passed away today at the age of 80 after suffering a massive heart attack. His health had been in decline for some time, but remained owner even after passing along his baseball operations to his son Hank.
His legacy will be remembered for one thing: winning. Steinbrenner did whatever it took to make sure he had a winner on his hand. "The Boss" was a legendary owner who was known to butt heads with his managers, (especially Billy Martin) and ran his team by his rules, (not long hair or facial hair).
Since buying the Yankees in 1973, for ten million dollars, Steinbrenner's Yankees won seven World Series in eleven trips. The legendary players under him are staggering: Reggie Jackson, Paul O'Neil, Daven Winfield, Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens are just some of the players who referred to their boss as Mr. Steinbrenner.
What George did was staggering. He changed the game of Baseball. Steinbrenner made the Yankees more then a team, they became a business. From the creation of YES, the first of it's kind, to ridiculous player salaries, George changed baseball into the game it is today. Some would say it's for the better, others the worse.
He was also a figure in pop culture. Many don't realize that he once hosted Saturday Night Live, but I'm sure a lot of us recall George Costanza reporting to "The Boss" on Seinfeld. If you have never seen it, try watching ESPN's "The Bronx is Burning," about the heated three way battle between George, Billiy Martin, and Reggie Jackson. It's a fairly accurate of the passion George had for the game, even if it meant going head-to-head with the people who worked for him.
I don't think many in Boston realize the impact he had on the Red Sox. We were loyal fans before George came along, but when George's Yankees were dominating the AL, people needed a team to rise up and take them down. The 2004 Red Sox were the anti-Yanks. With long hair and grody beards, they were a team anyone could get behind who disliked the Yankees. It was all because George spent the money to make his team so good, people despised them.
He was Donald Trump combined with Al Davis. Someone who once said "Winning is first, breathing is second." Many hated him to the point where when he was banned from baseball in the early 90s, and people in Yankee Stadium cheered. When he returned, he became the consummate owner and, behind Derek Jeter, built a dynasty by the end of the millennium.
Baseball will miss it's greatest owner and the game will never be the same again.
On a personal note:
George Steinbrenner made me a better baseball fan. I was born in Queens into a Mets family. At a young age I moved to New England, where I became a full fledged Red Sox fans. I criticized every move George made and said things like, "he buys his championships". I hate the Yankees and avoid dress shirts that have pin stripes to this day. My love for baseball comes from hating the way Steinbrenner did his business.
Still, I wanted an owner like that. A man who didn't care and did whatever it took to win. Making difficult, passionate decisions for the better of the team. We in Boston now have John Henry and Robert Kraft, two men who love to win and have that public ownership that George perfected.
I offer my condolences to the Steinbrenner family and hope the impact he had on the game of baseball does not get forgotten.

Blinking patterns in soft contact lens wearers can be altered with training
Collins, Michael J., Heron, Henry, Larsen, Roger, & Lindner, Robert (1987) Blinking patterns in soft contact lens wearers can be altered with training. American Journal of Optometry and Physiological Optics, 64(2), pp. 100-103.
|Abstract (PDF 66kB)
The blinking patterns of 15 soft contact lens wearers were recorded with a concealed video camera. Each of 20 consecutive blinks were graded, during slow motion replay of the video, as either complete, incomplete, forced, or twitch. Ten of these subjects were instructed to perform blinking exercises for a period of 2 weeks and the remaining 5 subjects acted as controls. After these exercises all the experimental group displayed an increased frequency of complete blinks, whereas the blinking patterns of the control group remained unchanged. Blinking exercises are likely to alleviate many of the signs and symptoms associated with incomplete blinking amongst contact lens wearers.

It was another beautiful and chilly afternoon Tuesday as Alabama continued to prepare for its matchup against LSU. Temperatures were in the low 60s, but gusty winds made it feel much colder.
The media was granted two periods to watch, so here are a couple observations:
--A.J. McCarron, who did not wear his knee brace Monday, had it on today. He hurt his right knee against Missouri and has worn the brace ever since. He also has a back contusion from a sack in the Mississippi State game, but he didn't appear limited at all.
--Wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) was again limited. He was kind of taking it slow and hobbling through different drills.
--Cornerback Dee Milliner was getting his right ankle taped by a trainer toward the end of the viewing period.
Below is a video of Kirby Smart coaching up the inside linebackers.

Notebook: Sykes' Double-Double Another Impressive Effort
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Freshman Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) was tremendous Tuesday night in leading Green Bay to a 71-65 victory over Youngstown State. In tallying 17 points and 10 assists in 37 minutes without committing a turnover, Sykes became the first Green Bay player with 10 or more assists in nearly three years and the first player to reach double figures in assists without a turnover in more than five.
Sykes also combined with junior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) to do something that had never been done before in Green Bay history in the Division I era. The duo became the first Green Bay teammates to record double-doubles with both points and assists and points and rebounds in the same game since the program made the switch to Division I in 1981-82.
The performance for Sykes was just another statement in what has become a freshman campaign worthy of strong consideration for Horizon League Newcomer of the Year and all-conference honors. Sykes turned 18 on Dec. 30, and since becoming an adult has been playing at a level well beyond his experience.
In 12 games since his birthday, Sykes has reached double figures 11 times and is averaging 14.8 points per game. Even more remarkable have been the increase in assists and decrease in turnovers coinciding with the scoring. The point guard has averaged 4.7 assists and committed just 26 turnovers during that stretch. To boot, he is shooting 53.5 percent from the field.
Sykes is the only freshman ranked among the Horizon League's scoring and assist leaders. In league play, the Chicago native is highly ranked among all players. He ranks eighth in scoring (13.1 ppg), third in assists (4.1) and first in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.1-to-1) and is also the lone guard ranked among leaders in field goal percentage (52.3%).

Fong Choo makes tiny teapots but, visually, they are anything but small. Fong successfully integrates the form with the surface to make exquisite little works of art.
The teapots bodies are thrown and altered on the wheel, and then embellished with handbuilt handles, feet, and spouts. Then Fong layers commercial glazes to get amazing surfaces. Today he explains his technique in detail, including his secret to taking commercial glazes to the next level. Good thing I am headed to the studio tonight because now I am fired up to mess around with layered glazes! - Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Teapots That Pack a Punch
by Fong Choo
For more than a decade I've been exploring the teapot in its miniaturized form. The teapot form continues to challenge and fascinate me, and the idea of doing one thing and doing it well has been central to the success of my profession as a potter. There are a lot of techniques involved in making these teapots, and some of the techniques require tools that I have made for myself to suit a certain situation.
Although a native of Singapore, I attended college in North Carolina with graduate work in Kentucky at the University of Louisville. I'm inspired by my Chinese heritage, and particularly in the long tradition of Yixing pottery. My teapots are small and jewel-like, made of porcelain and often fired to cone 6 in an electric kiln.
Throwing and handbuilding are at the core of all studio ceramics techniques. Through skill and imagination, some of the most talented artists and craftsmen can take these basic techniques and produce extremely creative works of art. By learning their techniques, and a little practice, you'll be able to create unique works of your own. Get Throwing & Handbuilding: Forming Techniques from the CAD Bookstore today!
Center a well-wedged 1-1/2 pound lump of clay on a removable bat. I use porcelain for my teapots because it has a better color response with my glazes (figure 1).
It is important not to overwork the clay, especially in the early stages of the process (and especially with porcelain!). In three passes, you should have the approximate form (figure 2).
I use a push stick to expand and redefine the form (figure 3). Follow the push stick on the outside with a metal rib to smooth the surface and remove excess moisture.
One feature I like to add to many of my teapots is a "moat." It provides not only a visual base for the teapot, but also functions as a glaze catch (figure 4).
Begin the moat with a rounded tool and push in and down into the base. Using a bevel tool, round over the edge and move the tool underneath to provide lift (figure 5).
Next, I alter the teapot with a rib in a couple of passes, creating an interesting movement within the shape (figure 6).
I use a small roller and further alter the gesture of the form. After completing these alterations, I wire off the piece and remove it with the bat to set up (figure 7).
To create a spout, roll out a tapered coil then push a stick into it. With the stick inside, roll the coil to expand it (figure 8).
Once the spout is soft leather hard, I cut it to the appropriate length, trim the end and attach it to the teapot body (figure 9).
I adjust the spout to the correct angle and add pouring holes (figure 10).
For the feet, I roll and taper 3-inch coils. Gently flatten one side of the coil, then pick it up and curl each end toward the center. Set aside until soft leather hard (figure 11).
For the handle, I roll out a 6-inch coil that's tapered on each end. I shape the handle into an interesting shape and set aside until soft leather hard (figure 12).
I throw lids off the hump using a small homemade tool (figure 13).
A finished teapot. The teapots are bisque fired then glazed with commercial cone 06–04 glazes combined with cone 6 glazes, and final fired to cone 6 in oxidation (figure 14).
Glaze Tip:
You can get wonderful glaze effects by spraying on an even coat of a cone 6 glaze then brushing on cone 06 glazes. Test applications before use.

It was the simple things that pushed Northwestern over the top in an impressive 75-60 win at Welsh-Ryan Arena. When Purdue lacked focus, NU capitalized. The Cats created open looks and avoided costly mistakes. The Nebraska loss still appears costly, but the drive has yet to disappear.
Painter was left complaining. Carmody, on the other hand, praised his team – and for good reason. After a poor practice on Friday, the Cats arrived at 7 a.m. prepared to bounce back from consecutive poor performances.
"It makes you feel good as a staff," Carmody said. "Guys are sharing the ball and doing the right things. They seemed to be on the same page."
That was evident from the get-go. NU cruised to an early 12-0 lead and hardly slipped. Reggie Hearn scored a career-high 26 points, and helped to key the victory. Still, Carmody said the solid offensive game required a collective effort.
"The shots went in, but they were good shots," Carmody said. "We certainly executed very well. There was no tension on offense."
In one of his finest efforts yet, Dave Sobolewski anchored the team. The emotional leader scored 13 points and added six assists. Most important, though, was that he led an offense free of this "tension."
The Cats did not turn the ball over in the second half. When Purdue looked to mount a comeback, they were thwarted simply because Northwestern maximized its opportunities. The mistake-free play rattled Purdue.
Though the Boilermakers had just eight turnovers, they showed poor defensive awareness. The Cats saw open looks for all 40 minutes, which contributed to their 53 percent clip from the floor.
"You've got to have discipline," Painter said. "It's what we don't have right now. You have to fight them, beat them to loose balls … We didn't have the discipline to guard them."
Every coach seems to know that when teams play NU, they cannot lose sight of shooters. Painter identified Hearn and Sobolewski as the "big-time" shooters – players they need to shut down on the perimeter.
In losses, the Cats struggle to create open looks from the floor. They labor through the Princeton and shoot low-percentage three-pointers late in the shot clock. Today, that was not an issue.
Four starters knocked down multiple three-point field goals. Even when patient, Sobolewski and his teammates found the open man.
"We scored a lot as the shot clock was winding down," Sobolewski said. "That was good to see."
Painter was unsettled. His defense is in shambles. He has reason to question team discipline. A.J. Hammons dominated the interior with 19 points and 13 rebounds, but he was late for the team bus and did not start. NU looked focused and eager to play. Purdue had several players look lost.
"We had too many guys have too many breakdowns," Painter said.
Disciplined basketball. Open looks. Solid team play. NU's commanding win was built on the basics.
There was no late-game scare and no terrifying run from the opponent. The Cats made sure to stay at arm's length, and to execute just like they drew it up.
After the game, it seemed like Carmody was happier than ever. He had every right to be.

The modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O'Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.

"Great for Parents"
This book is great for parents, and hpwvto inform them on how to change the youth sport culture.
For a coach, it was nothing I hadn't already heard before. Regardless, very good information, and a good listen.
"Good read"
Lots of great ideas for coaches and parents. A must read if you're a parent of an athlete grandparent or coach.

REDLANDS, Calif. - Former Carolina softball standout Danielle Spaulding was named the interim head softball coach at the University of Redlands for the 2013-14 academic year, the university announced Thursday.
Spaulding steps in for Laurie Nevarez, who recently resigned in order to accept a similar position at Cal State San Marcos.
A familiar face to the Bulldogs, Spaulding served as the team's graduate assistant coach during the 2012-13 season, which included the program's 10th overall Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) title and ninth consecutive trip to the NCAA Division III Championships.
"The opportunity to be the Interim Head Coach at Redlands is absolutely amazing," Spaulding commented. "Coach Nevarez has done some unforgettable things here, and it is an honor to step in and take over a program that means so much to her. I couldn't be more excited for this opportunity."
In order to serve as the head coach, Spaulding will take a year off from her graduate studies within the School of Education.
"We are fortunate to have someone of Dani's experience and coaching ability to step into this role immediately," Director of Athletics Jeff Martinez stated. "I am confident that Dani will provide a smooth transition, ensure a quality student-athlete experience, and continue the rich tradition of the Lady Bulldog Softball program."
Spaulding earned first, second and third team All-America honors at UNC and was named the ACC Pitcher of the Year three times.

Address: 1835 73rd Ave NE, Medina, Washington, USA
Bedrooms: 7
Bathrooms: 18
Size: 66,000-
Garage: for 23 cars
Value: US$ 120 million
Owners name: Bill Gates
Owners company: Microsoft
Owners Country: USA
It took seven years and more than US$ 60 million to build Bill Gates House
Bill Gates' house is built on a hill in King County, Medina overlooking Lake Washington. According to the county's 2012 tax records the house has a value of USD 120 million. The house was designed by James Cutler Architects and Bohlin Cywinksi Jackson, in a Pacific Lodge style. Gates' house is known for its technology. The house features home automation with a central computer adjusting lighting, temperature and usic when a guest enters a room. With a net worth of US$ 87 billion he can easily afford such house.
The 66,000-
The house's garages can accommodate 23 cars. You can find some (interior) photos and engineering details of Bill Gates' guest house here and more information about the whole property here. In 2013 Bill Gates acquired a US$ 8.7 million Wellington, Florida mansion. The house has extensive equestrian facilities, such as a show jumping area and a 20 stall barn. The Gates family uses the house when their daughter Jennifer is training for her successful show jumping career.
But there's more!
His Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest charitable foundation in the world. The aims of the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation are to enhance healthcare, to reduce extreme poverty, to expand educational opportunities and to expand access to information technology. Gates has funded his foundation with more than USD 2 billion. In 2006 Warren Buffet donated USD 1.5 billion to the Gates foundation. The assets of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation exceed USD 30 billion, with yearly donations worth more than USD 1.5 billion.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, together with billionaire Warren Buffet, started The Giving Pledge, a philanthropic initiative aiming to get the worlds billionaires to pledge their fortunes early in their lives, so that they can have more control of how it's spent. In the two years since it was launched, the giving pledge has recruited 92 billionaires, including the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Intel Chairman Gordon Moore and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
More than half of Gates' assets are outsite his holding of Microsoft shares. Bill Gates holds these other investments through his Cascade Investment LLC, which owns shares in Berkshire Hathaway, Cocal Cola, Femsa, Carpetright, Four Seasons Hotels, and WasteManagement, among many others.
But there is more!
No, Bill Gates does not own any superyacht. He is however often linked to large yachts around the world, naming them 'the yacht of Bill Gates'. Bill Gates does have a lot of relatives, friends and business partners who do own large yachts. Therefore Bill Gates is often spotted at large super yachts around the world. For example his 1994 honeymoon was on Paul Allen's yacht Charade, in 2012 he was spotted in Belize on Dennis Washington's motor yacht Attessa.
In 2014 Bill Gates was having a holiday with his family on board the yacht Serene, one of the largest yachts in the world. To charter a yacht the size of Serene, will probably cost more than USD 2 million per week.
Yachts often wrongly referred to as Bill Gates' yacht are: Octopus (owned by his business partner Paul Allen), Skat (owned by his other business partner/ employee Charles Simonyi) and Attessa, owned by US billionaire Dennis Washington.
Bill Gates is the owner of a Bombardier BD-
Bill Gates private jet has a price of USD 45 million. Bill Gates jet registration is N887WM. The WM is for William and Mary, Gates' parents. Through his membership of Netjets, Gates also partially owns a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ). Gates uses his private jets intensively, mainly for his work for the Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation.
Bill Gates owns many cars. His Medina mansion has a garage for 23 cars... Enough room for his car collection. And with his wealth he can afford every car he desires.
Bill Gates is known to be a Porsche collector. In his possession are a Porsche 911, a 930 and a rare 959. Of the Porsche 959 only 337 were produced. Manufactured between 1986 and 1993, the 959 was the world's fastest production car at that time. The Porsche 930 (or 911 Turbo) was produced between 1975 an d 1989. Gates bought the 930 at his early days at Microsoft.
Gates has also been seen driving a Mercedes S Class and a BMW 7 series. And of course he is driven around in limousines often. As far as we know is does not own any real exotic cars, like a Rolls Royce or a Bentley. And besides his Porsches he does not seem to own other sports cars like Ferrari or Lamborghini. He is rumored to own a Chevrolet Corvette.

That style of car was very popular in the 40s-50s, called "SPECIALS"
This guy is talented and has what most don't, an eye for style and balance.
So many just make boxes and rectangles with no "style" at all. I appreciate the effort but somebody they showed the project to early on must have known how awful it was. Why let a friend be ridiculed when it is so easy to guide them to the right path?
Rob (Chuck) Berry's journal is a good example of what Good Frosty is talking about in terms of using pieces off existing late model cars, trucks, buses, what have you, to form a beautiful rod.

Actually...the MG-ish Chevette roadster thing is pretty amazing.
It wouldn't be hard to replicate a body like that-
Pretty much, you'll need a 40's/50's fat fendered hood, which could also make up the cowl. Something to make up the sides of the cowl, and hood sides. Somehow would need to fabricate a grill. IFS might be allright on something like this running fenderless.
The sides of the body look like just flat metal, which is alright in this case, seeing as how the body dosn't look like some kind of washing-machine everywhere else.
Would need some fenders off of late-40's early 50's cars for the back, or trucks, sunk into the body sides for the back. Or if you had four just make them double sided, leave the back open or something. Saves you the effort of having to fabricate a deck lid.
As far as a Chassis goes. You could use anything as long as it was narrow-ish enough so that the engine isn't sticking out the hood sides and you have some decent engine setback. Rules out frontwheel drives, but you could use the suspension and running gear (maybe floor pan) out of a Chevette, Pinto, etc.
Even a Mini-Truck (with a scratch built frame, OEM is pretty ugly) could probably be made to work.
End Result would pretty much be something along the lines of an Crosley Hotshot, Mercedes Gazelle, MG-Something, Bearcat, Caterham, etc(Google them). Only alot cheaper and of a bit higher quality than the fiberglass stuff.
What gets me about most of these "scratch built tubs" is that people will take a decent cowl, then built what looks like a deepfreeze or something on the back of it for a body. When they could just have took some Cavalier hoods or something and built a decent body.
A lot of good points.
Lately, Ive been looking at VW bugs as a possible starting point. Very different style-wise than what I had originally thought about, but very cool too. I went thru an aircooled VW stage in high school. Had a bunch of them. Always thought I might make my way back to them, in one way or another!
And I could probably find an old beetle non-op in one of the local scrap yards for cheap. Although, it seems that aircooled VWs prices are getting up there too. All I would need is the body. Would have to reinforce it a bit though, as much of the VW bugs' body strength comes from the pan as well. Then drop in onto a front engine, RWD chassis.
Something like this possibly... but without any front end sheetmetal.
And I think I might just weld the door shut, and smooth it.
The only thing that is not hand built on my latest project is the upper part of a 34 Ford cab. (From the body belt line up) But absolutely everything else is hand built including the frame and all of the suspension. Oh ....and it's powered by a mid-engine 2.4 liter Porche motor and 5 speed transaxle.

Or this modified (and somewhat photoshopped) VW. This is getting a little off the PURE scratch built concept, but nevertheless a potentially inexpensive alternative to high priced 30's tin.

Hell, my wife and I just bought a house, are currently remodeling the basement, and are going to build a garage this summer.
Inexpensive is a GOOD thing
Im going to see if I can dig up some specifics as far as dimensions go (length, width) of the VW beetle body, and see what is possible.
I always thought VW's were stuck in the mid-late 30's body style.
Now your getting a little more onto the line of building something more early hot rod style. If you lose the front sheetmetal, roof, and rear fenders, chop the windsheild, you'd be well onto the way of a decent tub.
You'd need a straight axle and a decent frame, which wouldn't be too hard to come up with.
Yeah, I think I have set myself on using a bug. Unless something else presents itself, I think this will work out great.
Ill have to get some good measurements, and start hunting for a possible donor for a chassis. if I dont find anything close enough, Ill just build my own.
here are a few quick photochops I did...
Cool, eh?
I would be very much interested in knowing what chassis a VW bug body will fit. Are they body-on-frame cars?
Not quite. They are body on "pan"
This is a VW pan:
For the guys doing a "SoCal look" Bug here you go..
The front end kit that you need..Or just maybe the one you want..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Wow there are some awesome homwbuilt rods on here does anybody have more info about the chevette based roadster?
Idasho, take your bottom two photos and graft on a T style front end -- radiator/shell, frame rails, and suicide axle. Then do something with the rear "cowl" area -- it's GOT to be lower! Find some photos of convertible bugs, maybe that will help. Finding a convert would be difficult, or I'd say start with that as a shell. You could modify a T bucket frame to mount the bug shell easy enough. Hmmm... maybe even an old VW Rabbit convertible with a T style frame and front...
I've seen some a T bucket style truck made with an old mini pickup cab set back on the frame with a shortened bed. I think the original frame was used, but cut off at the new firewall location and straight rails welded to the front. Suicide straight axle was used.
Nope, Just found the link to it. Thought it was pretty awesome. There is a guy on here though that was doing a fiberglass-A type shell on a Chevette Chassis (With frame rails built)...or more like a chevette running-gear/suspension

Why Kevin Randle has lost (some) respect and (lots of) cachet
Kevin Randle is one of those names in UFO-land that carries weight – not as much weight as it once had but still rather formidable in some UFO circles.
Mr. Randle has been trying, mightily, to correct his image as a sloppy UFO researcher by recently regurgitating correctives of the Roswell scenario, which he and Donald Schmitt, among others, botched by accepting witness testimony willy-nilly; that is, he (and his cohorts) took down Roswell stories as if they were gospel when, in fact, they were as dubious as the Christian Gospels, even more so.
Yet, Mr. Randle, via his blog [A Different Perspective], continues to allow comments, such as those I've placed in the posting just prior to this one.
The comments come from UFO loonies or UFO trolls/scum as Steve Sawyer without any disciplined editing, just carte blanche posting of crazy comments, whether from those cited or ET obsessed quidnuncs like David Rudiak,
Mr. Randle thinks, I believe, that if someone says something or writes something, those somethings have got be valid or credible.
This is what got him in trouble with the sensible UFO community about Roswell in his books.
Now he continues that mistake but allowing a "democratic" free-for-all at his blog where anyone can post something, anything, and it stands there as a viable example of truth, but is often hardly that, mostly just goofy-ass observations by UFO laggards hoping to become someone noted in Ufology – a sad desire, granted, but still wished for by some at the fringe of UFO lore and history.
Mr. Randle has got to tighten his grasp of UFO-related commentary, keeping fools out of his blog, and not interacting with their crazy ruminations.
If he doesn't do that, he'll descend further into the bowels of ufology where most former UFO UpDaters now reside, because they, too, got flippant and UFO insane.

Research Interests
I direct the Nutritional Assessment of Populations program (NAP). My research
interests focus on diet, physical activity and body size factors, their
influence on the process of growth and maturation, and implications for
health and disease. My work focuses on periods of rapid growth, including
pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence. Research areas include the role of
breast-feeding in maturation and growth, and the importantce of variability
of body size in different population groups for risk of disease. Current
research focuses on adolescent growth, maturation and bone development and
the need for adequate weight and fat for bone growth to precent osteoporosis
in opposition to the concern of early maturation that increases risk of
reproductive cancers.

I'm looking for some help. I have just recently installed the 2011 CTS Navigation update in my 2008 CTS. I now have the problems listed in this thread:
My main problem is with the screen popping up and going blank every time the car is placed in reverse. I have contacted GM NavDisc and they have said to take it to my local dealer. I have taken the car to my dealer, Hendrick Durham Automall in Durham, NC, and they could not figure out the problem. Since I am out of bumper-to-bumper warranty, they told me if I bring it back for them to try to figure it out again I will need to pay a diagnostic charge. I have also contacted another dealer in my area (Hendrick Cadillac in Cary, NC) and was told I also would have to pay the diagnostic charge. They also told me they had not heard of the problem.
I don't believe it is right that I should have to pay for a problem that was caused by a defective update I have paid $200 for. I have gotten nowhere with GM NavDisc center and nowhere with the dealerships. Hendrick Cadillac suggested I contact Cadillac Customer Service about the issue, thus I am here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

06/02/2006 08:49
After loading the Digital Image Processing package (<<imageprocessing`)
The following command generates a 100 x 100 pixel graylevel image with
gray values (GV) in the range of 50 ot 180.
img =ToGrayLevel[Table[Random[Integer, {50, 180}], {100},{100}]]
The default way to show this image on screen is:
>>>>! But this shows GV = 50 as black and GV = 180 as white.
But, assuming the complete GV range I am working with is 0-255, I want to
display the image with 0 as black and 255 as white.
I know this can be done using:
But, compared to the firste Show[...] expression, this is a rather
cumbersome way of doing this.
Is there a shorter way to display a graylevel images properly scaled
(0-255). I did not find anything in the Digital Image Processing
Thanks for your help.
