Sandra Rushing was 123-175 in 11 seasons on the sideline (1990-91-2000-01).
Green's Got It Going On

She is one of 22 Miners with at least 80+ steals (80) one of 27 with 600+ points (646). She has logged 2,161 minutes of playing time, making her one of 16 in the program to have 2000+.

She is currently first all time at the school for career blocked shots per game (2.6), field-goal percentage (54.0) & FT percentage (79.6). Brown has piled up 685 points to become the 10th Miner to have at least 600 after transferring in as a junior & 28th overall.

Looking Back On 10-0 Start
UTEP opened up at 10-0 (now 25-3) to stand alone for the best start to a season in program history, besting the prior standard out of the gates (7-0) during the 1996-97 season.

Piled Up The Non-League Wins
UTEP went 11-2 in non-conference play. The 11 wins tied for the most in school history heading into the start of league action, matching the effort by the 2006-07 squad (11-1).
Good Teams Find A Way To Win
UTEP tallied 45 points and shot 27.0 percent from the floor, but still won at Rice (2/5/12) due to its defense & rebounding. The field-goal percentage is the second lowest in a win in school history, while the 45 points scored equal the second fewest in a triumph.
Best Two-Game League Defense... Ever
UTEP has yielded 79 points combined to UCF (1/29/12) & at Rice (2/15/12), which was the fewest in consecutive league games in program history. The prior standard was 81 (2003-04).
Hard To Believe
The 79 points allowed in consecutive contests isn't even the fewest for a two-game stretch this season. It is actually 76 (49 vs. Denver, 11/26/11 & 27 vs. NM State). The lowest combined points for two tilts is 69, which was achieved twice in the initial season of the program (1974-75), thanks to a pair of games where the Miners limited Beaumont to 20 points.
Lockdown D Vs. UCF
UCF (1/29/12) managed just 38 points, which tied as the second-fewest points permitted by the Miners in a league game in program history. It was just one off of tying the school standard, which was set in a 52-37 Miners' triumph at New Mexico (3/1/95).
Brown Delivers The Goods At USM

Nash's Star Showing At Tulane
Freshman Jenzel Nash poured in 25 points to go along with seven rebounds and seven steals at Tulane (1/15/12). She is the second player in school history to have at least 25-7-7 (of that combination) in a single game. Former standout & current WNBA player Natasha Lacy achieved the feat with 25-8-8 in an 86-69 rout of Southern Miss in the semifinals of the 2008 C-USA tournament on March 8, 2008.
Rally Time
UTEP roared back from 19 down to defeat Memphis, 66-60, on Jan. 8. The come-from-behind triumph is the biggest in terms of league games for UTEP, eclipsing the prior standard (15) in a 67-64 defeat against UAB on Jan. 18, 2008. Overall it equals the effort by the Miners in 72-71 OT win against Illinois State on Dec. 19, 2004.
Now That's Balance

Dominant Three-Game Stretch
The Miners blew past Denver, 80-49, on Nov. 26, New Mexico State, 63-27, on Nov. 29 & Lamar, 81-52, on Dec. 1, which marked the first time they won three straight games by at least 29 points against a Division I foe for the first time in school history.

Gloria Was Glorious
Gloria Brown flirted with a triple-double (21 points, nine boards, eight blocks) while playing a career-high 30 minutes in the win at NM State (11/16/11). The eight rejections rate third all time at the school, trailing only former Miner Izabela Piekarska's single-game effort (10, twice).

UTEP led 19-17 with 9:17 to play in the first half before putting together a 20-2 run to break the game wide open. They led 41-27 at the half & pushed their advantage out to as many as 31 (74-43).
Balanced Approach Does It
Seven different players scored at least six points vs. Northern Colorado (12/13/11). Gloria Brown led with 16 while Anete Steinberga had then season-high 11 points .Chrishauna Parker (nine points), Kayla Thornton and Kelli Willingham (eight points) and Kristine Vitola and Baiba Eglite (six points) all got in the act as well.
Willingham Dishes It Out
Sophomore Kelli Willingham tallied a season-high nine assists while committing only one turnover to help the Miners turn in an efficient offensive night against Northern Colorado (12/13/11).
UTEP Smothers New Mexico, 53-43
Stifling defense, a quality effort at the free-throw line and baskets at key times carried UTEP past New Mexico, 53-43, on the road on Dec. 10. Gloria Brown (12 points, 7 rebounds), Briana Green (10 points), Kelli Willingham (10 points) and Kristine Vitola (six points, 10 rebounds) led the way for the Miners.
Lockdown Defense
UTEP kept the Lobos to 25.5 percent from the floor and harassed them into committing 22 turnovers.
Winning At The Pit Is Always Special
Thanks to the effort at New Mexico (12/10/11), the Miners picked up their first win at The Pit since the 1994-95 season & fourth all time (4-20).
Miners Crush Lamar, 81-52
UTEP played its most complete game of the year to remain undefeated with a resounding 81-52 victory against Lamar on Dec. 1. Eight different players scored at least seven points for the Miners. UTEP bolted out to a 39-21 halftime lead & extended it to as many as 36 (79-43).
How Sweep It Is; UTEP Crushes NM State, 63-27
Behind stifling defense, UTEP cruised past New Mexico State, 63-27, to complete the sweep of the Sonic Battle of I-10 series at the Don Haskins Center on Nov. 29. The Miners led 23-8 at the break and were up by at least 30 points over the final 10 minutes of the contest. It marked the largest margin of victory in the series for the Miners and the second-biggest overall.
Big-Time Defense
UTEP limited NM State to just 9-of-49 shooting from the floor, including 1-of-11 from beyond-the-arc on Nov. 29. The Miners also harassed the visitors into committing 25 points, only two shy of the Aggies' point total.
Break Out The Brooms
The effort against NM State (11/29/11) locked up the Miners' first sweep of the series since 2007-08 and ninth overall. Five of the sweeps have come during Keitha Adams' tenure. UTEP is now 13-9 against the Aggies under Adams, making her the lone coach in school history to have a winning record against their Sonic I-10 rivals.
UTEP Stomps Denver, 80-49,
UTEP overpowered Denver, 80-49, in a clash of unbeaten squads on Nov. 26. Sophomore Kelli Willingham had a then season-high 18 points to lead a quartet of players in double figures. UTEP was up, 40-26, at the half and led by as many as 38 (80-42) at one point. The Miners drilled 11 threes (t7th-most school history), with Willingham making four of them.
Getting It Done At The Line
UTEP used good movement & motion to earn ample trips to the free-throw line against Denver (11/26/11). The Miners hit a then campaign-best 19-of-27 at the free-throw line.
UTEP Takes Down UTPA, 62-51
Powered by Gloria Brown's second double-double on the year, UTEP dispatched UTPA, 62-51, on Nov. 22. The Miners jumped out to a 29-17 lead at the half, extended it to as many as 19 (58-39 with 4:56 to play) before a mini run late made the final score a little more aesthetically pleasing for UTPA. The Miners dominated down low, scoring 40 of their 62 points in the paint.
Plenty Of Playing Time
Head coach Keitha Adams used 14 of the 15 played dressed in the win against UTPA (11/22/11). Twelve of those 14 logged at least 10 minutes on the court.
UTEP Routs Houston Baptist, 82-53
Kayla Thornton posted a double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds) while freshman Jenzel Nash poured in a then career-high 18 points to propel UTEP past Houston Baptist, 82-53, at home on Nov. 19. The Huskies led 2-0 but the Miners used an 11-0 run to stake an advantage they would never relinquish. It was up, 43-17, at the break.
Big Rebounding Nights For Vitola & Warren
Kristine Vitola and Erika Warren both got after it on the glass with nine rebounds each. The nine board is a career high for Warren,while it matched Vitola's personal-best at the time (since eclipsed).
Nash Finds Her Rhythm
Jenzel Nash was 0-7 from the floor in her first two collegiate games before breaking through against Houston Baptist (11/19/11). She nailed 8-of-16 from the floor, including a dazzling fake on a one-on-one situation midway through the second half on a lay-up to bring the crowd to life. She finished with a team-high 18 points.
Brown Leads UTEP To 76-72 OT Win At NM State
Gloria Brown poured in 21 points while grabbing nine rebounds and blocking eight shots to help lead UTEP to a 76-72 overtime victory at New Mexico State in the SONIC® ® America's Drive-In® battle of I-10 on Nov. 16. The Aggies scored the first two points of OT before the Miners ripped off nine straight to surge ahead, 70-63, with 3:03 to play. NM State eventually whittled the margin down to two (74-72) but Melisa Mendes came up with a clutch steal and sank a pair of free throws with six seconds left to seal the win.
Other Standouts At NM State
Chrishauna Parker delivered 11 points and five rebounds in 27 minutes in her first career start while Melissa Mendes. Kristine Vitola came through with eight points-including six in OT- to go along with eight rebounds.

Score: #7 Notre Dame 3, #13 Michigan 1

Attendance: 5,351
Next U-M Event: Friday, Nov. 16 -- vs. Notre Dame (Yost Ice Arena), 7:35 p.m. [ Tickets ]
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- After giving up two goals in the third frame, the University of Michigan ice hockey team (No. 13 USA Today/No. 13 USCHO.com) fell to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (No. 7 USA Today/No. 8 USCHO.com), 3-1, on Thursday night (Nov. 15) at Yost Ice Arena.
The Maize and Blue and the Fighting Irish were knotted at 1-1 early in the second stanza until the last six minutes of the final frame, when the Irish broke the tie with two goals just over four minutes apart. U-M and ND were both 0-for-2 on the power play, but the Fighting Irish put home a shorthanded goal that tied up the game in the second period.
The only goal of the first period went to the Maize and Blue when Justin Selman (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) nabbed the puck in Fighting Irish territory and wristed it up high into the net. The goal was the first of his career as a Wolverine. Selman now has three points (1g, 2a) in his last four games.
At 4:04 of the middle frame, Notre Dame's Mike Voran tied the score with a shorthanded one-timer from the left faceoff circle. Michigan and Notre Dame had one more power play opportunity apiece in the stanza, but neither team managed to convert.
The Fighting Irish and the Wolverines entered the final 20 minutes with 45 seconds of 4-on-3 play from penalties left over from the second period.
At 14:22 of the period, ND broke the tie with a wraparound goal that snuck under the glove hand of Steve Racine (Williamsville, N.Y), who sprawled post-to-post in an attempt to make the save.
Minutes later, ND's Peter Schneider took a long shot from near the blue line in Michigan's defensive zone that deflected off Mike Chiasson's (Henderson, Nev.) skate and floated into the net to give the Fighting Irish a 3-1 lead.
The Wolverines pulled Racine for the benefit of an extra attacker with 57 seconds remaining in the matchup, but the surge was not enough to chip away at the lead.
Racine turned aside 26-of-29 shots on goal and ND's Steven Summerhays stopped 23-of-24.
Michigan returns to game action tomorrow night (Nov. 16) to finish up the Thursday-Friday series with the Fighting Irish. Puck is set to drop at Yost Ice Arena at 7:35 p.m., with a special on-ice ceremony during the first intermission to commemorate the history of Yost. [ Tickets ]

The Artisan Economy
The first time David Sutton roasted his own coffee beans, it was on a BBQ grill.
The young pastor loved coffee, and he loved the process of making coffee even more. So when he heard he could roast his own at home, Sutton bought a few pounds of green coffee beans and set to work at the barbecue, roasting the very first of the thousands of batches to come. And to his great surprise, that first cup wasn't half bad.
Sutton has come a long way since those days at the grill. Today he is the owner and founder of the Coffee Registry, a craft coffee roastery and delivery service in Fort Collins, Colo. He is also the roaster, delivery guy, accountant, repairman and janitor. Between being a pastor, a father, a business owner and a roaster, he works weekends and nights and holidays. He sometimes gets to the shop at 5 a.m. on a Saturday after only three hours of sleep to roast beans for the day's farmers' markets, which he'll then spend all day brewing and serving. He has no pension, no health benefits (besides what he gets delivering by bike), no corner office and no promise of a paycheck.
And anyone who's talked with him for more than 30 seconds knows he is a man who loves what he does.
Sutton isn't the only one who's made an attempt to turn craft into career and been able to find a market for it. In 2010, when Americans were wading through the aftermath of one of the worst recessions in the history of the nation, Colin and Shannon Westcott were opening a business. Colin had long wanted to make a career out of his passion for craft beer and the brewing process, so when the opportunity arose to start his own brewery, the couple was all in—recession or not.
The Westcotts opened the doors to Equinox Brewery in Fort Collins that April, hoping the community had been primed enough by the city's microbrew giants, New Belgium and Odells, to embrace and support one more.
By the end of the first month, it was clear to the couple that public support wasn't going to be a problem—finding a place to put all of it was. Most evenings, it's hard to find a seat in the brewery even though a draft at Equinox costs between $4 and $8—the better part of what a good chunk of their client base makes in an hour.
"Once you make the shift from domestic to craft beers, you don't go back," Colin says. "People realize they like things to actually taste good, and they're willing to pay for it."

Guided by Science
We're united by nature, and guided by science. Learn
The Nature Conservancy has long recognized the importance of America's public lands. Explore some of the scenic lands and water that the Conservancy has helped to protect for Virginians.
After all, this land is your land!
The Conservancy brokered the nation's first major corporate donation of conservation land in 1973, helping establish Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge through Union Camp's gift of nearly 50,000 acres. Now more than 110,000 acres, the refuge is a magnet for migratory birds and for birders seeking to extend their life lists. Boating, hiking, biking, photography, wildlife observation, hunting and fishing also are popular options.
Starting in 1967, the Conservancy assembled close to 3,000 acres to build Mason Neck State Park and Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge. These efforts followed from a grassroots campaign led by Elizabeth Hartwell to encourage the protection of Mason Neck and its bald eagles. The park now offers a wide variety of nature programs and recreation such as hiking, biking and paddling.
The Conservancy transferred Tobys Point to the Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge in 1999. As part of a coalition with several other conservation organizations, the Conservancy works with the refuge toward a goal of protecting 20,000 acres along the Rappahannock and major tributaries. Visitor opportunities include fishing, hunting, paddling, photography, wildlife observation, environmental education and interpretive programs
In 2004, the Conservancy purchased the largest privately owned tract in Washington County to protect key intact forest in the Clinch Valley. Thanks to a partnership with the state, the nearly 5,000-acre Brumley Mountain site is now open to the public as Channels State Forest. The namesake Great Channels of Virginia, 400-million-year-old sandstone formations etched into Brumley's crest, are protected within The Channels Natural Area Preserve.
Dragon Run State Forest was created in 2008 when federal Forest Legacy funds enabled Virginia's Department of Forestry to acquire the first of several large tracts from the Conservancy. Today's nearly 10,000-acre state forest is part of a network of conservation lands covering a remarkable 23 percent of the Dragon Run watershed, a critical feeder of fresh water to the Chesapeake Bay. Dragon Run itself offers one of Virginia's finest blackwater paddling experiences, and the state forest is open to the public for outdoor recreation.
Since 1989, the Conservancy has worked with Russell County and the commonwealth to protect and expand The Pinnacle Natural Area Preserve, one of the most popular and ecologically important resources in the Clinch Valley. This state preserve follows Big Cedar Creek for two miles to its confluence with the Clinch River. The Pinnacle offers views of the namesake towering rock formation and scenic waterfalls, fishing in Big Cedar Creek, hiking, birding and wildlife watching.
Expanding Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge has been central to the Conservancy's partnership with state and federal agencies and even singer James Taylor to preserve globally important habitat for migratory birds. Conservancy contributions to the refuge include Skidmore Island in 1987 and, more recently, Wise Point. Opportunities abound for birding, wildlife watching, fishing, boating and photography.
The Conservancy purchased 80 acres in 1975 to establish the Rann Preserve on Ivy Creek. Over the next several years, the Conservancy worked with citizen groups and officials from Albemarle County and the city of Charlottesville to protect the entirety of the former Riverview Farm, which faced impending development. RenamedIvy Creek Natural Area
, the 215-acre preserve today is Charlottesville's preeminent site for environmental education and recreation.
A 1957 Conservancy booklet — published with support from partners — helped galvanize the public, the media, government officials and other organizations in calling for a park at Great Falls on the Potomac River. The National Park Service protected the land in 1960, and Great Falls Park opened to the public in 1966. Only 15 miles from the nation's capital, Great Falls Park hosts a half-million visitors annually for activities ranging from picnics to hiking.
The Nature Conservancy has a long history of supporting policy initiatives like the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and working with local, state and federal entities to establish and expand popular and iconic places.
When you sign up to use your "outside voice" for nature, you will join a network of people who are taking action for conservation.
We'll keep you informed of new policy developments and provide opportunities to let our representative know you want them to support the special places and resources we all rely upon here in Virginia.
Learn about the places you love and find out how you can help by signing up for Nature eNews.I'm already on the list Read our privacy policy
We'll be in touch soon with more Nature Conservancy news, updates, and exciting stories.

Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, Feb 11 (UNI) The pilferage of cargo, including maize, diesel and rice, from the anchorage port has become a matter of concern for shipping trade in the area.
One of the shippers, on the condition of anonymity, said ''pilferage has become a major drain on the pockets of shippers. The loss is very heavy, forcing the shippers to do a rethink on taking up maize exports. The pilferage is 80 to 120 tonnes in the case of a vessel having capacity of 6,000 to 7,000 tonnes and it is between 150 to 300 tonnes for a vessel of 20,000 capacity. The wastage loss permissible is 0.25 per cent, but the shipper has to bear two per cent loss on account of pilferage.'' The pilferage had stopped for some time after wooden boats were converted into steel barges and due to the strict vigil maintained by the police. But of late, the gang involved in pilferage has once again become active with the support of politicians, he alleged.
The gang's modus operandi was to divert few bags at the goods sheds, mostly while being ferried to the anchorage port in mid-sea, with the involvement of lorry crew and the steel barge Kalasis.
Port Harbour Craft Superintendent and in-charge port officer M Satyam clarified that the pilferage activity was taking place outside the port area. ''The godowns are located in the new port area and leased out to private parties. However, strict vigil is being maintained round the clock by the port security personnel, numbering over 60, in turns.
''The pilferage of cargo, especially maize, is taking place at transit points -- the godowns outside the port and jetties before being ferried in the port canal. The port police and the marine police register cases against the offenders from time to time,'' he added.
Inspector and Port Facility Security Officer M D K V Prasad claimed they were extending all possible assistance to the port police in curbing the pilferage. They recently nabbed the 'diesel thieves' in a joint operation with the port police using speed boats.
Admitting that pilferage of cargo was going on in connivance with lorry crew and the port workers engaged by the steel barges, Port police station Sub-Inspector and Marine police station in-charge Y RK Srinivas, however, claimed that the pilferage of cargo and other offences have been curbed to a large extent due to strict vigil kept by both the marine and port police.
