Dinosour motherload unearthed in QLD
June 19, 2013 , 4:03 PM by Aimee Volkofsky
A dinosaur dig in outback Queensland has unearthed a treasure trove of massive fossils believed to be 98 million years old. The team say they've found so many bones it will be difficult to fit them into their laboratory!
David Elliott, palaeontologist from Australian Age of Dinosaurs told Richard just how exciting this and important this find is.

Tips for How to Buy the Best Juicer
Comparing juicers and juicer reviews to find the best juicer? The EatingWell Test Kitchen offers up advice and their top picks for the best high-speed centrifugal juicers and low-speed masticating juicers.

How to Start Juicing: 7-Day Juice Plan to Add More Fruits and Vegetables to Your Diet
There are many types of juicers on the market, but they can all be classified into two main categories: high-speed (a.k.a. centrifugal juicers) or low-speed (a.k.a. masticating, cold-press or low-revolution-per-minute juicers).
High-speed juicers process fruits and vegetables at a higher speed through contact with a spinning shredder against a mesh filter, creating a "centrifuge" force. With nonejection types, the pulp remains in the shredder basket; with automatic-ejection types, the pulp is discarded into a separate waste basket. High-speed juicers tend to be less expensive, however proponents of the raw food movement say the heat produced along with the high speed may break down some of the nutrients as the juice is extracted.
Recommended high-speed juicer: Breville Juice Fountain Plus
Low-speed juicers process fruits and vegetables at a lower speed, thereby producing less heat and noise and extracting more juice than high-speed juicers. For leafy greens, such as spinach and kale, low-speed juicers are best. There are two types of low-speed juicers: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal and vertical low-speed juicers differ mainly in shape, with the vertical juicer being more compact and the horizontal juicer requiring more counter space. However, horizontal juicers have more versatility because they offer the ability to create homemade nut butters, pasta and baby food. Low-speed juicers are more expensive, but ideal if you want to make juices that include a lot of leafy greens.
Recommended low-speed juicers: Ronco Smart Juicer, Omega 8006 and Green Star Elite

I believe that we almost fully agree on every aspect that you mentioned. And also, I did not intend to sound like I was "railing" at you. I am sorry.
You are correct that we cannot hear DC. But again, "DC" refers only to the VOLTAGE rails of the PSU. The CURRENT output from the PSU is _NOT_ DC, when there is music power being supplied through a power amplifier by the power supply.
This thread started (I thought, anyway) in order to discuss paralleling capacitors in a power supply, presumably a power supply that would be meant to supply power for the production of music through loudspeakers.
Since the power supply must supply the dynamic current that IS, usually extremely directly, the music signal which drives the loudspeakers, it seems to me that we are right on target in discussing parallel capacitors in the power supply, along with any parallel capacitors that are used to bypass/decouple the high-power current-control valves that are controlled by the input signal chain, such as the final power transistors or the output stages of chipamps or whatever is used in the output section of the "power amplifier". I often like to think of the bypass/decoupling caps as a sort-of local "point of load" power supply, anyway.
The possibilities for high-frequency resonances being formed between smaller capacitors and the parasitic inductance of larger co-located capacitors, or with the stray or parasitic inductance of attached wires or PCB traces, have been fairly-adequately discussed, already, in this thread.
I think that at least AndrewT and I are interested in understanding more about which capacitors supply which time and frequency components of the music signal current, and how to try to ensure that their implementation has been optimized for the most-faithful reproduction of the music.
My primary goal for an audio system is the most-faithful reproduction of the input, so that the output from the speakers is as close as possible to what was intended by the makers of the source material.
My two main questions related to this thread's topic seem to be:
In terms of the PSU and all of the capacitors upstream from the power pins of the output stage power devices (at least), what and how significant can their effects on the faithfulness of the music reproduction be, and, how would one best attempt to ensure that the cause of any flaw in the faithfulness of the music reproduction would not originate there?

Either way works, to think about it, but it's actually always both ways at the same time, as I'm sure you know. But in the context of this thread's discussion, it doesn't seem as useful to think about the VOLTAGE on the PSU rails, since that's almost static. In the PSU, the CURRENT is where the action is, especially as it relates to the functioning of the capacitors in supplying the music current that is pushed and pulled through the load (yes, by the voltage; or is it the other way around? <grin>).

[QUOTE=cbdb;2787206][QUOTE]So yes, every component in the power supply is in the main sound-signal path, and could possibly affect the sound quality even more-directly than the components in the input "signal path".
(The following rant is NOT directed at you.)
Why is it seemingly so difficult for so many people to think in terms of PSU output current? Why this fixation on a voltage-centric view of everything? Yes, keeping the power rails at a fixed DC voltage can be very important. But (in my mind, at least) that's not what this discussion is about!
Where do you people think that the current comes from, for the speakers? Does it come in through the signal input connectors? Does amplifying the input voltage magically make current appear from somewhere else? Or do the speakers only need VOLTAGE, alone? No!! Whether your final power amplification components are BJTs and current-controlled or FETs and voltage-controlled, their OTHER two terminals are small-signal-controlled higher-power-capable CURRENT VALVES that enable more or less CURRENT to flow through them, depending on the voltage across them and the control input level. THAT'S just what they DO. They are basically just like small-signal-controlled RESISTORS.
Or maybe I should have just said, "Can we talk about the current, for a little while, and not so much about the voltage?".

Finally, somebody who says it clearly. In fact, power supply buffer capacitors are (merely) to be considered current sources. Otherwise, when thinking in voltage, how who it be possible the feed 2 (or more) channels from a single power supply without crosstalk?
The big 'thinking' problem is that merely all text books / reference documents draw the power supply and amplifier circuits separately (without speakers), noting rail voltage as the unit to focus on, while the reality drawing should be a closed circuit schematic of power supply caps + OPS BJT/FET + speaker. Even better: draw up to schematic like this with both channels. This would demonstrate very well your current view story.
And, it would make an explanation and calculation of damping factor much more 'visible' and understandable as well (but that's off-topic).

But in fact, it is a very naive and limited view of the problems involved.
Nowadays, audio gear consists of high speed DACs and ADCs, dsp cores, SMPS's, class D amplifiers, etc, with simple analog baseband applications being the minority.
Even simple analog sources like FM tuners handle base frequencies in the tens of MHz range.
Even when dealing with 20KHz- signals is the behavior at higher frequencies still relevant.
Try to feed an audio amplifier through an LCL lowpass filter of 20KHz, you will see the problem.
High speed, high performance amplifiers require a low supply impedance in the MHz range, or more.
Anyway, this thread is about the paralleling of small caps with big caps, and the supposed improvement it is supposed to bring, and in this case, nothing much happens below 1MHz.
The ESL too will be smaller.
Does this make the 1nF a better decoupling cap at 20Hz?
Of course not. The important thing, for the circuit to be bypassed is the module of the impedance, and this includes all the parameters of the complex impedance at that frequency.
Also note that DF values <0 have no physical sense.

I often wonder if this is complete hype.
My Pass Aleph 4 uses 3 x 33000uF caps per rail per amp, ie 12 in total and there are no smaller bypass caps.
It sounds musically BEAUTIFUL. I wouldn't want to change the sound.

As you point out very well, I forgot to mention relevant 'to regular analogue amplifier', as to put my question in the proper context. Indeed, it is very relevant for class D and digital audio gear, albeit I would not exclude anything below 300 kHz either as done in that test (and imposed by his meter).
You are propably very knowledgable and much more advanced than many people out her, but nevertheless no need to call other forum members 'very naive and limited view' who just try to understand and learn.

Of course each PSU rail's curent is also "DC", since there is only a single polarity on each rail. What I meant was that it's not a fixed value of DC. When many people say "DC", they are also assuming a fixed value of DC, and I fell into the same trap.
We can't hear FIXED-value DC but we can certainly hear dynamically-changing DC, as we do every time we hear a "push-pull" amplifier.

OK, I just ran some simulations with LTSpice, using a schematic/model that I had built up five or six years ago, with a linear regulated power supply and an OP541E chipamp model (inside the feedback loop of an AD845j opamp, in this case), including a lot of the parasitics and strays of both the components and the conductors, and a lumped-component model of the speaker cables, plus lumped-component models for crossovers and speakers. I had a square wave as input (with controlled slopes for the rising and falling edges).
It's easy to see the current from the power rail not quite be able to keep up with the current drawn by the chipamp power pins, and watch as the bypass caps send out exponential-shaped current pulses to make up the difference that's needed, mostly for the transient responses. A 2.5 microsecond lag from the power rail when needing to go from 0 to over 5 Amps in 6 or 7 us means that the bypass caps have to very quickly supply several amps, for a short time, in order to keep the square wave edge linear and prevent undershoot and overshoot (keeping the "corners" sharp).
It's also easy to sum the currents of the PSU's flter caps and compare the total to the regulator input current and see that almost all of the current comes from the caps (the difference was only about 10-15 mA out of 5-6 A).
It was also easy to see severe high-frequency ringing when I added some very small film caps in parallel with the 2200 uF electrolytic bypass caps at the chip's power pins.
I'm interested in how different sizes and types of bypass caps can handle the demands for transient currents. At first I thought that fast transients would need small-value caps. But why would that be true? If it is true, would it be only because their ESR and ESL are usually able to be lower? I know that smaller caps can be fully-recharged faster. So maybe size would matter, then, for fast repetition rates. But considering a one-shot event, how would the capacitance value, itself, affect the initial rate (amps per second, say) of a capacitor's transient current response? Oh well, I guess I should also consider the external series resistance. But that would be very (relatively) low, roughly just the speaker impedance, when a large fast transient is demanded. I'll have to review the basic equations and circuits that used to be so familiar (and try it out in simulations). It's been too many years. But I'm out of time for now.

Multi-buy deals in supermarkets and off-licences could also be banned, under proposals being put out for consultation.
Home Secretary Theresa May is outlining the package in an effort to "turn the tide" on a culture of irresponsible drinking estimated to cost the taxpayer £21 billion annually.
Officials said it was currently possible to buy a can of lager for as little as 20p, and a two litre bottle of cider for £1.69.
More than a million crimes and 1.2 million hospital admissions were linked to alcohol last year.
The Alcohol Health Alliance (AHA), made up of 32 medical and counselling organisations, welcomed the step.
But chairman Professor Sir Ian Gilmore said the minimum unit price should be 50p rather than 45p.
"The evidence shows us that heavy drinkers and young drinkers are more affected by higher alcohol prices than moderate drinkers," he said.
"According to the University of Sheffield, a minimum unit price of 50p would reduce total alcohol consumption by 6.7%, saving around 20,000 hospital admissions in the first year."
However, the drinks industry warned that the 45p threshold would hit modest consumers hard, without addressing the underlying problems.
Miles Beale, chief executive of the Wine & Spirit Trade Association chief executive, said: "While the Government may be consulting on 45p consumers should be aware that the final minimum unit price could be much higher than that.
"In the Spring we were told it would be 40p, it's already 45p, we know that health groups are calling for a price of at least 50p and the Scottish Government has already proposed a 50p minimum unit price.
"The impact at 50p would see 65% of prices in supermarkets and off-licences rise with a bottle of vodka increasing in price from £9 to £13.13."
Home Office officials insisted the consultation was targeted at "harmful drinkers, problems pubs and irresponsible shops".
"Those who enjoy a quiet drink or two have nothing to fear from our proposals."
Home Office Minister Damian Green dismissed suggestions that minimum pricing would have no impact on binge-drinking.
"Too many of us have seen city centres on a Friday and Saturday night often become a vision of hell. A lot of this is fuelled by very cheap, very strong alcohol," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"The point of having a minimum unit price rather than, say, increasing taxation, is that you can target ... the shops that do deliberately sell very strong drink very cheaply.
"It is just a fact of economics and indeed of life that if you put the price of a particular product up, demand for it goes down."
Dr Mark Wright, a consultant hepatologist at Southampton General Hospital, said: "This is a very positive step which will have a significant impact on the heaviest problem drinkers without really affecting those with a more moderate intake and I'm sure all liver doctors will welcome it.
"Most importantly, it is good to see the Government taking the lead with this massive problem - the prior strategy of leaving the regulation of alcohol marketing in the hands of drinks manufacturers made about as much sense as suggesting the weapons industry try and broker a Middle East peace deal."
The proposals for England and Wales come after the Scottish Government legislated to impose a minimum alcohol price of 50p per unit.
But the policy has yet to be enforced following a challenge by wine-producing European Union nations such as France, Italy and Spain, which say it breaches EU law on free trade.
Separately, two trade bodies, the Scotch Whisky Association and the European Spirits Organisation, have been granted judicial review of the legislation in the Scottish courts.
Wine and Spirit Trade Association chief executive Miles Beale said: "It is hard to understand why the Government is pushing ahead with the consultation now, when there is a wall of opposition in Europe, a legal challenge in Scotland, a lack of any real evidence to support minimum unit pricing, opposition from consumers and concerns raised from within Cabinet itself.
"Minimum unit pricing and the proposed restrictions to promotions are wholly untargeted and will unfairly punish millions of consumers and businesses in the UK, while doing nothing to tackle the root causes of alcohol misuse or associated crime and disorder.
"Alcohol misuse is a serious and complex problem for a small number of people in this country. We recognise this and are committed to tackling alcohol misuse - but there is no silver bullet.
"A wide range of policies are required to address problem drinking, including improving education, better enforcement and building on what already works."

Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle
- From the section Football
Luis Suarez scored a stunning goal as a dominant Liverpool were held to a point by 10-man Newcastle at Anfield.
The Uruguayan brilliantly controlled a long ball from Jose Enrique ball on his shoulder before rounding keeper Tim Krul and scoring with his third touch.
Newcastle's Yohan Cabaye showed the finishing prowess the Reds lacked in the first half when he powered in an acute angled strike before the break.
Fabricio Coloccini was sent off for a dangerous challenge on Suarez late on.
While Liverpool have now gone five league games without a defeat - their longest unbeaten run in 2012 - it was a game in which the familiar story of their season unfolded as they failed to make the most of their possession and chances.
The visitors displayed defensive fortitude to frustrate their hosts, but Suarez's goal denied the Magpies a first win at Anfield in 18 league games since April 1994.
Skipper Steven Gerrard was playing his 600th game for the Reds - moving him to 10th in the club's list of all-time appearance makers - and the midfielder has been the inspiration for his team on a regular basis since his debut in November 1998.
But it was Suarez who was Newcastle's chief tormentor in a game the Reds began with obvious urgency.
The home side did not take long to get into their passing stride and they quickly started to pile on the pressure, with winger Raheem Sterling's pace and trickery a particular concern for the visitors.
Suarez is never far from the action and he was soon left indignant when referee Anthony Taylor ignored his penalty appeal after he was caught by Coloccini.
Newcastle had to show the steel that has been a hallmark of their game this season to keep the Reds at arm's length.
The closest Liverpool came to a goal in the first half was when Suarez had an angled shot across goal saved by the foot of keeper Tim Krul and a Suso strike was deflected over.
But the visitors gradually came into the game and then stunned the home side by taking the lead.
Hatem Ben Arfa jinked to the byline and crossed to the far post where Cabaye controlled before rifling home a shot.
It was a goal that highlighted exactly the type of ruthlessness in front of goal Liverpool sorely miss.
Suarez had a low curling shot saved and Nuri Sahin scuffed an effort narrowly wide as it seemed Liverpool's problems in front of goal would continue.
But, after Jonas Gutierrez gave the ball away, Suarez brilliantly took down a long Enrique pass before touching the ball around Krul and slotting into an empty net.
The Uruguayan then set up Jonjo Shelvey and Sterling for chances to win the game but both wasted their opportunities.
Shelvey failed to get the required purchase on a pull-back, while Sterling was denied when his shot was deflected high off the sliding Steven Taylor.
As Liverpool pressed for a late goal, Newcastle almost exposed the home side at the back with Papiss Cisse volleying wide and Ben Arfa having a shot saved by keeper Brad Jones.
Coloccini's 84th-minute dismissal put the visitors under some late pressure and a deflected Suarez free-kick looped over before both teams had to settle for a draw.

Moon in the Google Earth Plugin!
July 21st, 2009 | Published in Google Maps
This Monday, at the Newseum in Washington D.C., we unveiled Moon in Google Earth as the newest 3D-navigable celestial sphere, after Mars and Sky. Users can now explore some fantastic 3D terrain and imagery of the moon's surface, as well as exciting interactive media content about the Apollo missions and more, right in Google Earth!
Today, I'm glad to help commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing by announcing support for the moon in the Google Earth API. Just like with Mars, Earth API developers can now choose to show the moon upon instantiating the Google Earth Plugin. Here's a new demo, based on the original Monster Milktruck game, that you can check out to get a glimpse of Moon in the browser:
We've also added support for the Moon, Mars, and Sky to the KML embed and tour embed gadgets. Here's a quick demo of the fantastic Apollo 11 tour, created by Sean Askay, embedded in the browser using the touring gadget:
For those of you who don't currently have the plugin installed, here's what you're missing:
I hope that this new feature gives rise to some great new Moon mashups in the browser!

Nook Farm Map Location #18
Octavius Jordan, with plenty of advice from Harriet Beecher Stowe, designed a Gothic-Revival villa for the Stowes in the early 1860s. The house stood at the end of a long drive off Hawthorn Street. Stowe remodeled most of her homes, but "Oakholm" was the first house she had built to her specifications. She loved the process. "...my house with eight gables is growing wonderfully and ...I go every day to see it---I am busy with drains sewers sinks digging trenching---." The house may have been wonderful, but it became too expensive to maintain and the Stowes sold it in 1870. It was torn down in 1905.
Nook Farm Map Location #17
Nook Farm Map Location #16
This home was built for Thomas Clap and Mary Beecher Perkins (Stowe's sister) on the south side of Hawthorn Street, across from the home of Mary's sister Isabella Beecher Hooker. Charles Dudley and Susan Warner lived here from 1866-1884. As the family home of Dr. Thomas and feminist Katharine Houghton Hepburn from 1908 to 1917, it was the childhood home of actor Katharine Hepburn.
Nook Farm Map Location #10
This asymmetrical, Second Empire style house built for businessman Charles (1811-?) and Eliza Thayer Smith may have been based on a design by architect Richard Upjohn. Charles and Eliza married in 1855 had one daughter, Frances, and four grandchildren. Charles was a senior partner at Smith, Bourn and Company, manufacturers of harnesses and saddlery. The house still stands on the east side of Forest Street.
Nook Farm Map Location #4
Constructed at the same time and nearly identical to the Stowe House, this neighboring cottage was built by Franklin Chamberlin and sold to Ezra Hall and his wife Frances in 1872. Hall was Chamberlin's law partner. The house stood in what is now the Stowe Center parking lot. It was razed in the 1960s.

Crumbling plaster on walls
The paint and thin layer of plaster beneath is crumbling. Someone suggested it might be salt working through from the brick underneath. What can I do?
Hi, you have , or your wall has, efflourescence (might not be spelt right) which is indeed the lime salts being liberated from either the bricks or sometimes the plater. The standard cure is to expose it, brush it off with a wire brush, seal the brickwork and replaster the area. It can be caused by damp penetration, or sometimes just happens !!! Good luck :)
Thanks. Forgive one more silly question - seal the brickwork with what?

text here. Few sentances.PROS
List, of, prosCONS
List, of cons
The pitch: "Just turn the wing nut and watch that awful dent just disappear!"
April 2009. The Ding King Twist-A-Dent tool is another product promoted by TV pitchman Billy Mays. In the television infomercial, Mays pounds a car hood with a rubber mallet, and then uses the Ding King to remove the resulting dent. "It's like dialing the dent away!" Mays says.
When a leading consumer magazine tests the Ding King and a competitor on dozens of dents, panelists report improvement 80 percent of the time. Consumers also report success with the Ding King -- at least some of the time.Pros
In other instances, users and experts say the Ding King Twist-A-Dent does nothing. According to reviews, it seems to work best on shallow, uncreased dents that are no bigger than 6 inches in diameter and aren't near the edge of a body panel. Users say it alleviates some bigger dents, but it may leave ripples or small dents in the metal. Some say it takes hours worth of repeated tries to remove a dent.
Occasionally, users who buy the Ding King say the tool's bonding agent damages their paint. (One admits he didn't notice the warning that Ding King should only be used on factory paint.) However, expert testers do not experience any paint damage, leading them to conclude that it's worth a try, considering you could pay $50 to $200 or more to have a dent removed professionally.
Consumer Reports conducts a definitive test, trying Ding King and a competitor on dozens of dents. Unlike most Consumer Reports content, this report is free. KDKA, a TV station in Pittsburgh, also conducts an expert Ding King test with the help of a professional auto body repairman. User reviews at Amazon.com, InfomercialRatings.com and Epinions.com show the same pattern: The Ding King works on some dents, but not all.
Dent-Repair Kits, Editors of ConsumerReports.org, Mar. 2009
Nineteen panelists try the Ding King Twist-A-Dent and a competing product, DentOut, using their own dented cars as test subjects. They evaluate the effectiveness of the two products on more than three dozen dents of various sizes, and also scrutinize the instructions for ease of use. Results are compared with the work of a professional body shop.
Does Ding King Really Take Away Dings?, Yvonne Zanos, Feb. 22, 2006
KDKA consumer editor Yvonne Zanos enlists a body shop owner to try Ding King Twist-A-Dent on several different types of dents. It works on some, but not others; Zanos concludes that it's worth buying to remove at least some dents. The video of the report is also available on the site.
3. Amazon.com
Ding King Automotive Auto Car Dent Remover, Contributors to Amazon.com
The Ding King gets very mixed reviews from users here. Some say it works for them, some say it doesn't work at all, and others say it performs very inconsistently. After averaging the widely different scores from more than 30 reviews, the Ding King Twist-A-Dent earns three stars (out of five) from users.
Ding King Reviews and Ratings, Contributors to InfomercialRatings.com
As it does at Amazon.com, the Ding King Twist-A-Dent receives three stars (out of five) on this user-review site. Some users say the Ding King pulls out dents at least most of the way, while others say it either doesn't work or damages their vehicle.
5. Epinions.com
Ding King Basic Kit, Contributors to Epinions.com
Once again, the Ding King earns three out of five stars. The majority of users do notice an improvement after using Ding King, but many say it doesn't work as well as it does on TV

It was close, maybe a drivers race with a slight edge to the WRX.
Stock 287/274 350Z's have run low 14's for most, and high 13's for a few. A great deal of the advantage in the quarter mile is the launch of AWD. Watch this video:
YouTube - stock 350z vs subari sti
I think a stage 2 WRX is pretty close to a stock STI, which is why I linked the above video. I know I was hanging with stock STI's when my WRX was stage 2. Frummadig the AWD obviously has an advantage. In real world driving, such as being in traffic and needing to move out - the 350Z was faster than my WRX with the Cobb stage 2 map.
I loved my 350Z for how it came stock. A lot of fun to drive, easy to learn the balance and handling, but lived on the knock limiter from the factory. With a ton of bolt ons they wouldn't make more than an extra 50whp. Forced Induction is the way to go with them, but then you need to replace the internals. I never could justify the price vs risk of modding my 350Z. So it was stock. ROCK EFFING SOLID though. Never had a problem with it. Got myself in and out of MANY nasty situations. The car handled very well. Would buy one again later, but my eyes turned towards a better Z.

You have invested so many efforts into completing your dissertation. You are proud of yourself and probably want somebody else to be the same proud of you. Well, then you definitely should bind your dissertation to make it look like a serious project.
Sure, you have some other motivations for dissertation binding. However, the rules of dissertation binding will be the same regardless of your reasons for doing that. Here are several general guidelines for dissertation binding.
Things to do before dissertation binding
- Find a trustworthy binding service.
- Print your project and make sure that all the pages are in the right order.
- Check the whole paper and make sure it is free from mistakes. Otherwise, you will have to bind it once again, which will cost you the same money you have already spent.
Things about dissertation binding you should pay attention to
Binding services usually offer two dissertation binding styles: hardback and softback. They will choose an appropriate dissertation binding style depending on how thick your paper is. Hardback is usually used for the documents that are 2.3 cm thick, softback for 4.5.cm documents.
But! Before giving your project for binding, you need to clarify one important issue. What we are talking about is time that the chosen company will spend on binding your paper. Some services do dissertation binding just in a few minutes. Others may spend several weeks on it. So, if there are some deadlines that you have to meet, it is better to take care of dissertation binding far beforehand.
Hope dissertation binding will not cause you too many troubles.
There are many other interesting articles related to dissertations that you will find on our blog. For instance, you may get more details about an electronic dissertation or a thesis/dissertation extension.
Custom written papers always need proofreading and editing, so do your own papers. Before turning in your dissertation, make sure it is free of stylistic and grammatical mistakes Order cheap editing and pay for the well-presented editing and proofreading services! Buy timely help with YourDissertation.com – a purchase you truly deserve!

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
It may be she is spraying on it because of the new scents it brings into the house after you have been outside the home with the purse.
It is also possible its due to the material the purse is made from. Sometimes a natural leather or fur attracts a cat to the item but also some plastics have an odor that attracts them too.
At this point it may be that she is spraying because she smells her scent on the area.
I would suggest fixing a spot where you can hang your purse out of reach to see if that resolves the problem. Maybe a new hook near the door will work for you.
You may want to try cleaning the purse with an enzyme based cleaner such as Nature's Miracle to totally remove any urine spray odor from it. Then you can try the Feliway spray right on the purse to make her not want to spray it.
Hope this helps you!
As you didn't mention that there was no way to know.
I think it sounds like she is marking over 'new' scents and this may have been triggered by the new cat coming in and adding 'strange' smells to the house.
I certainly think having a good vet check up may be an excellent choice to make sure this is not a sign of an underlying health issue.
While you are there you might ask your vet about using some Prozac if she checks out healthy. Prozac may reduce her stress so that she doesn't have that need to mark. The stress being the new cat, changes, the dog, new smells etc.
Prozac has had excellent success in resolving spraying issues in cats who don't respond to Feliway.
This is mentioned here along with lots of other helpful info on spraying and litter box issues
Not a problem - it just was a surprise to me is all! It is really hard for people to get everything in they mean in a couple of lines of question and I'm glad you came back to ask more.
I hope the info help you out and thanks for the above accept!

Chipotle Opens Concept Southeast Asian Restaurant 'ShopHouse'
The burrito chain branches out into a new style of cuisine.
Chipotle Mexican Grill's concept restaurant, the ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen, opened in Washington, D.C. last week. The new restaurant offers an Asian take on the 'slow food, fast' format that Chipotle follows. Its menu includes the choice of two entrée styles: bowls and banh mi sandwiches, which can then be accompanied by your choice of meat or tofu and garnishes. On its menu, ShopHouse describes its dishes thus:
Drawing on the bold and complex flavors of Southeast Asian cuisine, our menu includes distinctly spiced homemade curries and sauces, fresh vegetables and herbs, artisanal organic tofu, and meats raised responsibly without the use of antibiotics or added hormones.
There are no plans to open ShopHouse restaurants in other locations yet, but Chipotle is continuing to grow, currently operating 1,131 restaurants including new units in London and Paris.

Canton McKinley head coach Ron Johnson has coached Miller his entire career and he spoke glowingly of his junior star.
"You know him as well as I do, he's got great skill, in terms of size and speed," Johnson said. "He also has great intangibles that make him really special. He takes coaching well and he has a great desire to get better every day. He called Jim Tressel after practice to give him the news, and Coach Tressel was overjoyed to hear the news. I know Steve felt strongly that Ohio State was the place for him, so he decided today would be a great day to get it done. I couldn't be prouder of this young man."
Scout.com will update the story later this evening to add Miller's thoughts on his announcement.

At the start of his career, Marc Allen never took a business course; he simply made what he calls a sloppy, disorganized, lazy, and intuitive search through the books of Western magic." There he found the tools that took him from being a poverty case to a multimillionaire and helped him create one of the most successful independent publishers in the country. In The Magical Path, he presents these tools effective, easy-to-apply practices, including affirmation, visualization, and guided meditation that can change the course of readers' lives in miraculous ways, as they did his. Because these tools are so simple and powerful, Allen calls them magic. But far from esoteric, they are tools anyone can use to achieve their dreams and goals.
About the Author
Marc Allen is the author of numerous bestsellers, including "Visionary Business" and "The Millionaire Course." He is also the cofounder and publisher of one of the most successful independent publishers in the United States, New World Library.

by Pepper W.
Four years ago I met a little girl. She was 10 years old, fifty pounds and looked like she was maybe six or seven. Her hair was scruffy, her face dirty and her eyes mischievous. She had tiny features, bright eyes and a crooked smile. She wore baggy jeans tied with a rope belt, and on her tiny frame she wore an extra-large boy's t-shirt. The rest of her clothes were stuffed in a black garbage bag. I met Cheyenne when I was introduced to her as her Guardian Ad Litem. I learned that she had entered the foster care system at two years old due to abandonment and neglect, had lived in 11 different foster homes and had two failed adoptions. My goal was to access her needs and to help find her a forever family.
Cheyenne had baggage. She had endured much trauma in her life and these were reflected in various ways in her behaviors. Added to the hard experiences she had endured post birth, Cheyenne had the extra complications of being exposed to continual drug and alcohol use while in the womb and the genetics from both her birth parents' history of mental illness.
We could not erase her past. She needed love and nurturing. She needed healing. She needed to experience the love of a family, a family just for her, a forever family. She needed someone to show her unconditional love and merciful compassion. I worked for two years to find a family who would provide a loving adoptive safe home for Cheyenne before my husband and I, after much prayer, brought her home as our adopted daughter. Our first Christmas, Cheyenne pulled an ornament out of our box and said, "What is this boat with all the animals on it?" Cheyenne had not been taught Bible stories or even a moral foundation. My husband and I have the wonderful privilege of teaching Cheyenne about God. Parents of older adopted children may realize that their adopted older child may not have a moral framework to make good decisions. What a privilege to cultivate this in your child!
Older adopted children are amazing children! They are little survivors. Their need for love and nurture is the same as that of a young child. They long for a family to love them unconditionally. They often come with baggage. Because of this, they need people who will invest in them by loving them unconditionally, understand them by educating ourselves on how to connect to children from hard places, and give them a forever home. Cheyenne is thirteen years old now. She is happy and connected. She is loved beyond measure. She is still very behind in school, but for the first time she is really trying. She is safe and a precious blessing to our family. Cheyenne has taught us how to love, how to perservere, how to forgive, how to hope and all about "do-overs."
I would highly recommend educating yourself on adoption and parenting children who have come from abuse and trauma. Their needs are great. The book by Karyn Purvis called The Connected Child is excellent! Equip yourself and open your home to a child in need. There are so many resources to help you. Every child deserves a nurturing, permanent family.

- Gregory Coleman, Yetter & Warden, LLP and former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
The United States Supreme Court will soon complete its 2006 term with an array of decisions on important and controversial topics such as the ban on partial-birth abortion, the use of race in assigning children to public schools, constitutional limits on punitive damages, the administration of the death penalty, the constitutionality of McCain-Feingold's limitations on certain kinds of political speech, and significant changes in patent law. Mr. Coleman will join us to review the most significant cases decided in the Court's 2006 term and share his insights on new trends that have developed after the addition of two new members to the Court.

Opposition renews calls for Rohee's exit after police sexual torture allegations
-APNU urges independent probe
The opposition yesterday took aim again at Home Minister Clement Rohee, reiterating their lack of confidence in his stewardship of the security sector and the police force in the wake of new allegations of police brutality.
Main opposition APNU called for an independent inquiry into the alleged sexual assault on detainee Colwyn Harding, who has accused a rank of the Timehri Police Station of sodomising him with a baton.
Harding, who suffered severe intestinal injuries, is now hospitalised under police guard, while the rank at the centre of the allegations has been placed under close arrest and others from the station transferred while an internal probe is underway
In addition to an independent inquiry, APNU, in a brief statement yesterday, demanded that the PPP/C administration immediately institute measures for real reform in the training of police, while reiterating its lack of confidence in Rohee's ability to manage the security sector and the force.
Meanwhile, Leader of the AFC Khemraj Ramjattan told reporters at a press conference yesterday that he was shocked at the case. "I am shocked at the barbarity of the rogue members of the Guyana Police Force," he said, while also reiterating that his party had no confidence in Rohee and again issued a call for him to resign.
In a statement issued on Tuesday night, the AFC stated that "this event is now a regular occurrence in Guyana and is another in a long list of assaults and injustices meted out to young Guyanese men who by way of their economic circumstances are taken advantage of by what can only be described as sick, power hungry, barbaric inhumane individuals within the Guyana Police Force…."
It noted that with an increase in the level of brutality inflicted by "rogue elements" of the force both the commissioner and Rohee have continuously failed to discharge their legal responsibility to investigate criminal activity perpetuated by police officers.
"The Alliance for Change holds the Commissioner of Police and the Minister of Home Affairs responsible for the rogue activities of ranks like constable (name given) and feel they both should resign as is expected in any democracy," the release said.
The party added that failure of the ranks to tend to the visibly injured man while at the station speaks "volumes of the prevailing climate in the Guyana Police Force." Ramjattan yesterday also said that Guyanese living in the United States have since donated the colostomy bags that Harding desperately needs while other support was pledged.
Ramjattan questioned the preparedness of the Georgetown Public Hospital in dealing with patients of various needs after Harding's relatives were told they had to purchase colostomy bags as the hospital had none.
Stabroek News understands that some colostomy bags, needed to collect the faeces which are leaking from Harding's body through his damages intestines, were handed over on Tuesday night and it is expected that they should last a week.
More are expected to be donated within the coming days.
AFC Chairman and attorney Nigel Hughes, who represents Harding, said on his Facebook page that a demand for the institution of criminal charges and compensation in the sum of $100M was delivered to the Commissioner of Police by the victim's lawyers on Monday. "The victim's defense team have commenced their own independent investigation with a view to filing private criminal charges in the event that the Police fail to institute any criminal charges by next week Wednesday," Hughes said.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Last year, during one of those key stretch games against the Phillies at Pro Player Stadium, the Marlins' Miguel Cabrera's face popped up on the scoreboard as he came up to bat. An 8-year-old boy sitting in the stands looked up in sheer wonder. "Look at that! He's just a little kid! He's only 12!" The amazed boy wasn't that far off. Cabrera is 20, but with that baby face, we wonder if he's ever had to shave. But don't let youth fool you -- Cabrera is way beyond his years on the diamond. He can play any nonbattery position, hits with equal parts grace and power (12 HRs and 62 RBI in little more than half a season last year), and batted clean-up in the World Series. In fact, he had one of the greatest at-bats in recent playoffs history when he smacked a ball over the rightfield wall right after aging superstar Roger Clemens, who was supposed to be playing his final game, knocked him down with an inside heater. Expect great things from the Venezuelan Virtuoso this year -- we're venturing 35 HRs and 120 RBI, which wouldn't be too bad for a little kid.
The 2003 version of the Marlins wasn't just the best team in South Florida, or in baseball, or in all of sports last year. They were, from a dramatic standpoint, one of the best teams in recent memory. First off, the horribly nicknamed "Men in Teal" weren't supposed to do much, except maybe give the Braves some decent practice before the postseason. And the team's risking of a large percentage of its payroll on an aging star catcher seemed a bit odd, if strangely welcome. To no one's surprise, the Fish came floundering out, quickly falling to a dismal record. Then they hired Jack McKeon, a septuagenarian manager who decided to trade his grandkids for one more chance at major league glory. Then some kid pitcher named Dontrelle Willis, who had a delivery reminiscent of a prehistoric mating dance, joined the club -- and captured the country with an eight-game winning streak. Then another kid named Miguel Cabrera joined the team and, in his first game, hit a walk-off home run to win it. Then that aging catcher, Pudge Rodriguez, carried the club to the pennant. Josh Beckett, the young ace with a Texas drawl, finished off the Yankees in New York to win the world championship. So... what about this year? They're going to be good, damn good. But failing to sign the only sure Hall of Famer on the team -- that aging catcher -- wasn't smart. Expect them to make the postseason but fall short of a repeat.
Nobody really seemed to think much of Juan Pierre when the Marlins signed him last offseason. Fast guy, kind of goofy looking, solid hitter, but not someone who would ever, as he might put it in his hyperbolic fashion, shock the world. But in a way, he did, using his dashing speed to help the Marlins win the World Series. He led the league in stolen bases -- but to do that, he had to get on, and he did it in all sorts of ways. Lacing line shots to the gaps, hitting the rare home run (OK, he got one), running out the infield hits. But it was those bunt singles that really made him special, his magical ability to absorb a 93-mph fastball with his bat and make it crawl like a baby down the baseline while he sped to the bag. Out in center, he had a knack for chasing down balls that had triple stamped all over them. Pierre doesn't have the glove talent of an Andruw Jones or a Jim Edmonds, but he makes up for it with speed and will. And he was a key part of the Marlins' magic. Remember the demoralizing 25-8 drubbing by the Red Sox in June? The very next night, the Fish incredibly overcame a 9-2 deficit to take a one-run lead in the ninth. Then, with a man on second, Johnny Damon ripped what looked like a sure game-tying single to center. Pierre charged, dove, and somehow caught the ball two inches off the ground to start a double-play and end the game. Oh, he had four hits, a walk, and two steals in that one too. Run, Juan, run.
OK, so we know you aren't the gaudy type whose tikes hanker for those newfangled water parks like Castaway Island in Hollywood. And the high-tech stuff in Fort Lauderdale's Holiday Park, which includes a train locomotive, is a little too much for your precious little rowdies. So consider this: There's a modest collection of swings, slides, and other climbables on the ocean near Angelo's Corner (954-923-0679) on Hollywood Beach. The kids love this place, cuz there are lots of others there. There are picnic shelters, nearby paddleball courts, and of course, it's on the ocean, so the aesthetics are, well, perfect. At Angelo's, you can get a pitcher of beer and a slice, then watch the kids while they do their business.
Located on the eastern periphery of downtown West Palm Beach, Flagler Drive is the picturesque waterfront roadway that embodies the city's more enticing aesthetic qualities. Each year, the road is home to a few significant cardio-related events, such as the American Heart Association's HeartWalk and the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's Race for the Cure. But even when the street isn't blocked off for pedestrian use, the wide sidewalk that runs along the Intracoastal Waterway is ideal for those early-morning jogs. With the island of Palm Beach across the Intracoastal to the east, the horizon spreads out just enough for you to take in the rising sun while you burn those breakfast calories. And don't worry about the hustle and bustle of the nearby automobiles; the sidewalk is set far enough back from the road to keep the traffic at a distance, and you don't even have to cross through any intersections. Also, the sparsely strewn line of palm trees on the grass median adds a nice tropical touch to the otherwise urban view. It'll tempt even the most ardent couch potato to strap on some sneakers and hit the pavement.
There are those cool gyms. You know the ones. Lotsa lycra, gizmos galore, and shoes that cost more than the gross national product of Honduras. Well, those aren't for us. We like kids who fly through the air with the greatest and then sneeze. The top location for this is Tag Gymnastics in Weston. The place has produced "a steady stream of state and national champions," according to co-owner Elena Lechner. One of them, Ruben Chamorro, recently took the overall Florida title for 10-year-olds. Tag, which has been open since 1973, for the last four years at its relatively obscure location near a Home Depot, is a great place for kids and adults. It has wonderful pits filled with large chunks of foam rubber that are meant for training but also provide a soft landing pad for the would-be human flier. There are floor-level trampolines too. Costs aren't bad at this Olympic-level training facility. One hour a week for 12 weeks will set you back $170. And if you want to have a kids birthday party here, they have a bounce house and the largest indoor blow-up slide that we have ever seen. And we've seen a lot. Birthday parties cost $200 for two hours and up to 20 children.

The quarterback position is a strange one to call right now. As the Michigan coaching staff are taking their time in terms of finding targets and sending out offers to quarterbacks in the '14 class. Another quarterback that the coaches are planning on visiting in the next week or so is Michael O'Connor.
O'Connor recently reclassified as a 2014 quarterback when he transferred to the prestigious IMG Academy in Florida.
I spoke with O'Connor to catch up on his recruitment and where Michigan stands with him:
– On his recruitment: "It's been going well. It's starting to pick up now that I have reclassified and started working with coach Weinke. Some schools have informed me they will be down soon to come see me, so that's all good."
– On IMG Academy: "Well first off at IMG our high school football team is treated like a college program in terms of just the amount of time dedicated to football. I believe I will be more prepared than someone else. We train Monday through Friday for half the day so I think it will get me both physically and mentally prepared for college. I also believe the coaching here is second to none with all the experience that our coaching staff has had. Finally, I believe it's the greatest environment for a student athlete. I mean, I'm training right next to people like Geno Smith, Tyler Wilson, Montee Ball, and Manti Te'o. It's something you don't get anywhere else. For example, Ryan Tannehill dropped by the other day. Just being in this environment is something special. I just plan on being a sponge for the next year and soak up all the knowledge that I can.
– On potential visit by Michigan coaches: He says that coach Borges plans on meeting him in the next week or so.
– On how Michigan fits with him, and how an offer will effect his recruitment: "With their QB situation right now, Michigan would be a good fit I think. They would definitely be up there if they end up offering."
– On his top schools: Vanderbilt and Michigan State are his leaders.
I'll be keeping in touch with O'Connor throughout his process and will definitely keep you all posted.

Tobin Echo-Hawk enters her fourth season at UTEP and ninth overall as a head coach. She was announced as the head coach of the program on June 20, 2013.
Echo-Hawk completed her third and most successful season at the helm for UTEP, as she directed the Miners to their first winning conference record (13-11) in program history and first appearance in the Conference USA Tournament since the 2010 campaign. Echo-Hawk won her 200th game as a head coach after UTEP rallied to defeat FIU, 5-4, on May 11 in the first round of the conference tourney. The win was also first postseason victory since the 2009 campaign. The Miners were the no. 6 seed in the eight-team field after being picked to finish ninth in the preseason polls.
UTEP finished the 2016 season with a 23-32 record, the most wins since 2010. The Miners set school records in multiple statistical categories, as they finished with the best batting average (.307) in school history, most hits (451), most assists (533), most double plays turned (30) and highest fielding percentage (.962). UTEP's slugging percentage (.476) is second best, while its 85 doubles and 699 total bases are also second most. The Miners hit 51 home runs, the fourth most in school annals, and most since the 2012 campaign. The defense also committed 61 errors, the third fewest in program history.

The Miners' team batting average ranked third in conference and no. 48 nationally, while their home runs per game (.93) ranked second in C-USA and 58th nationally.
Echo-Hawk mentored the 2016 C-USA Player of the Year in sophomore Courtney Clayton. Clayton ranked in the top 10 in multiple categories, as her batting average (.416) ranked no. 2 in C-USA (46th nationally) and her 21 doubles led the league. Clayton broke the program single-season record in hits (79) and doubles. Clayton is the first Miner to win the prestigious award since 2012 (Camilla Carrera) and the fifth sophomore to be named player of the year in conference history. Clayton was named to the C-USA All-Academic team and CoSIDA Academic All-District team. Clayton was also named All-C-USA first team and NFCA All-Region South third team.
Junior Kiki Pepi was named All-C-USA second team in 2016. Pepi broke the single-season school record with 134 assists, while her nine assists during a 2-1 win at FIU broke a single-game program record.
After a 0-3 start in conference play, Echo-Hawk's Miners won their next eight league games (the most in school history) after sweeping LA Tech, winning all three at FIU and defeating UTSA in the first two games of a three-game set.
In 2016, UTEP tossed three shutouts. The highlight was when junior Kaitlin Fifield tossed a no-hitter against Texas A&M-C.C. during a 2-0 win in College Station on Feb. 27. It was the first no-no since 2010, and sixth overall. Fifield was also named C-USA co-Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 28, which was also the first pitcher of the week accolade since the 2010 season. Senior Danielle Pearson kept zeros across the board in a pair of outings – the first at UNLV (6-0) and the second against LA Tech in El Paso (8-0 run-rule win). The staff's three goose eggs were the most since the 2010 season. Miner hurlers also threw 27 complete games in 2016, the third most in school history and most since 2010 (29 CGs).
Other highlights during Echo-Hawk's third year included 16 runs against Mount St. Mary's, the most under Echo-Hawk. UTEP registered the most hits (17) and home runs (five) under Echo-Hawk against Incarnate Word. The Miners turned three double plays at Marshall, tied most in school history, while tallying 17 assists twice – at FIU and at Middle Tennessee, which is tied third in school annals.
Senior Kawehiokalani Netane recorded six RBI versus Mount St. Mary's, two off the single-game record. Hope Moreno tallied five RBI against UTSA. Freshman Cortney Smith tallied seven assists from the shortstop position at FIU, tied second on school history.
During the 2015-16 school year, six Miners were named 2014-15 NFCA Scholar-Athletes, while 15 softball players made the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll; four student-athletes earned C-USA Academic Medals. Netane was also named as a 2015-16 C-USA Spirit of Service Award winner.
After completing her eighth season as a head coach, Echo-Hawk has mentored nine players who garnered Player of the Year or Pitcher of the Year accolades. Also under her direction, 44 players have been All-Conference, eight players have earned NFCA All-Region honors (six in the Pacific Region and two in the Midwest Region) and 49 were named Conference Player or Pitcher of the Week. In the classroom, two of Echo-Hawks athletes have been appointed to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team with eight All-Academic members, and 83 total selections to the PCSC (41) and C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll (42).
In Echo-Hawk's second year, the Miners won nine Conference USA games for a second consecutive season. UTEP's 18 league wins the last two seasons is the most since winning 19 during the 2009 and 2010 campaigns.
UTEP won 14 overall games in 2015. The offense hit .293, ranking second best average in school history. It was also the first time in school history that the Miners hit .290 or better for a second consecutive season. The team tallied 416 hits – the third most in program history and 14 more knocks than the season before.
Also on the offensive, the Miners grinded out 12 triples, tying the single-season record, while hitters set a school record by only striking out 189 times. Defensively, a school record was set as the Miners tallied 489 assists, while their 21 double plays turned tied a program record.
The 2015 season also saw a UTEP pitcher record more strikeouts than walks for the first time since 2011. Fifield registered 90 Ks and 73 walks. Fifield produced solid home numbers, assembling an 8-3 record with a 2.10 ERA, 43 Ks and 23 walks in 60.0 innings.
UTEP began C-USA play with a 3-0 record after sweeping Middle Tennessee on March 8 and 9 in El Paso. It was the third time in school history the Miners started league play undefeated. Following the sweep of the Blue Raiders, the Orange and Blue swept a two-game series against Texas Tech at the Helen of Troy Softball Complex. The Miners began the home season undefeated (5-0). UTEP finished its home schedule with an 11-7 record, matching its 2014 home mark.
Under Echo-Hawk's guidance, Miner sluggers earned multiple accolades. The first came on March 9 when Ashley Eldridge was named C-USA Co-Player of the Week after hitting .533 with three home runs and 10 RBI during a five-game stretch (March 3-8). Eldridge was the first Miner since the 2012 season to earn the honor. Eldridge earned her second player of the week honor on March 30 after producing a .667 average with a pair of long balls, six runs scored and seven RBI during a 2-1 series win over Southern Miss. Eldridge was the first UTEP softball player to earn multiple POW honors in a single season since the 2010 season. Netane was named C-USA Player of the Week on April 13 after hitting .385 with two home runs, five runs scored and eight RBI during a five-game stretch (April 7-12). It marked the first time since the 2010 season that multiple Miners earned such honors.
Multiple postseason awards were earned as well. Netane was named first team All-C-USA, while Eldridge was named second team all-conference. Clayton was tabbed to the C-USA All-Freshman team. The 2012 season was the last time two Miners were named all-conference, while one made the all-freshman team.
Tahla Wade, who entered the 2015 season with 12 stolen bases, set a single-season record by swiping 17 bags. Wade also holds the school record with nine career triples.
In 2014, Echo-Hawk's first season at the helm, the Miners ended the campaign with nine league wins after winning just six the past three seasons, while their 17 overall wins were the most in four seasons. The season-ending 4-1 victory over East Carolina on May 4 was only the second time UTEP ended a season with a win - the last coming to end the 2006 season, a 5-1 win over UAB on May 7.
UTEP recorded its' first-ever road sweep of a conference opponent - a three-game cleanup over LA Tech on March 15-16. The Miners also completed a conference home sweep over Middle Tennessee (April 12-13). It was the first home sweep of a league foe since the 2010 season.
During a game two 13-2 win over Middle Tennessee on April 12, as UTEP set a school-record for hits (15) in and home runs (four) in one inning and the Miners scored 13 runs during the record-setting second inning. The runs were the third most in program history for one inning.
Offensively, UTEP finished with a team batting average of .290 - third best in program history at the time. The team's 402 hits was the fifth time the Miners have reached 400+ hits in a season.
Defensively, after compiling 89 errors in 2012 and 81 in 2011, the Miners committed 69 errors - the fourth least in program history. Their .952 fielding percentage was the best since the 2011 season (.953).
Under Echo-Hawk's tutelage, senior centerfielder Erika Arcuri was named to the 2014 All-Conference USA first team, while senior pitcher/utility player Colleen Hohman was announced to the NFCA All-South Region third team. Echo-Hawk also mentored Ashley Eldridge during a career season, in which the junior tallied 17 doubles (tied second most in program history and tied first in C-USA rankings).
Echo-Hawk has a wealth of success as a head coach. In just five seasons at Portland State, she led the Vikings to four conference titles and four NCAA Regional appearances and was named league coach of the year five times (Pacific Coast Softball Conference 2009-12, Big Sky 2013). She compiled an overall record of 146-127 including 78-20 in conference play.
Echo-Hawk mentored eight players who garnered Conference Player or Pitcher of the Year accolades. She mentored 39 All-Conference Players and had six players earn placement on the NFCA All-Pacific Region team and 46 merited Conference Player or Pitcher of the Week recognition. Echo-Hawk's student-athletes excelled in the classroom as well, with two appointed to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team and 41 selections to the PCSC Commissioner's Honor Roll.
In 2009 she led Portland State to a 29-26 mark, including 15-5 in the PCSC. Her 2010 squad was 30-27 overall and 18-2 in league play. The 2011 squad fashioned a 34-18 mark (16-4 conference). The Vikings were 28-25 in 2012 with a 15-5 league ledger. Portland State capped the 2013 campaign with a 25-31 record as the Vikings rolled through the Big Sky Conference, winning 14 of 18 conference games.
She recorded her first NCAA Tournament win as a coach on May 18, 2012, as Portland State topped Mississippi State, 2-0, in Eugene, Ore.
The University of Nebraska graduate enjoyed a stellar four-year career from 1993-1996 as a third baseman. She was a four-time All-Big XII Conference selection, a three-time All-Midwest Region performer (94-96) and was a second team All-American as a junior and senior. She set single-season marks for batting average (.439), doubles (22), runs scored (66) and assists (170). Echo-Hawk also graduated as Nebraska's all-time leader in hits (226) and doubles (48).
The Louisville, Colo. native served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Portland State from 2006-08 prior to being elevated to head coach. She previously was a volunteer assistant coach at her alma mater from 1996-97 before taking reins of the softball programs at Centaurus High School in Lafayette, Colo. (1999-2002) and Broomfield High School in Broomfield, Colo. (2003-06).

For the latest Hampden-Sydney College Athletics news visit hscathletics.com
On March 20, the Hampden-Sydney baseball team took down Frostburg State 14-13 in an exciting back-and-forth battle. More exciting than the action was what the win signified; the victory meant win number 226 for 11th-year head coach Jeff Kinne, putting him ahead of Hall of Fame coach Stokeley Fulton '55 as the program's all-time winningest baseball coach.
Kinne came to Hampden-Sydney in June of 2003, bringing with him nearly ten years of coaching experience, having worked as an assistant coach at Mary Washington, Washington & Lee, Virginia Military Institute, and Charleston Southern and as a head coach for one year at New Hampshire Technical Institute.
The Salisbury, New Hampshire, native has had great success at the helm of the baseball program, thrice being named the ODAC Coach of the Year (2005, 2007, 2010) and earning ABCA Division III South Region Coach of the Year honors in 2005 after leading the Tigers to a school-record 27 wins, their second-ever ODAC Championship, and an appearance in the Division III World Series. Kinne has produced 13 First Team All-ODAC honorees as well as nine All-Region players, two ODAC Rookies of the Year, and one ODAC Pitcher of the Year.
This season, the Tigers have gotten off to an unprecedented start, and at the time of Kinne's milestone win, held a 16-5 overall record while receiving votes in the D3baseball.com national Top-25 poll.
Hampden-Sydney Basketball didn't have the year it expected to have during the regular season, but they put it all together when it counted the most in the postseason.
The Tigers did get their season off on the right foot, winning four of their first five games. One of those wins came at home vs. eventual NCAA Sweet 16 team Mary Washington when two Greg Lewis three-pointers in the last six seconds gave H-SC a one-point win and a spot in the ESPN SportsCenter Top 10 Plays for November 22. The Tigers played the next day to beat North Carolina Wesleyan 90-73 to win the ACAC Fitness and Wellness Center South Region Classic. Hampden-Sydney would then dispatch off another NCAA Tournament team when a Khobi Williamson running hook shot at the buzzer sent the game into overtime. The Tigers eventually prevailed 89-82 over Springfield in a game played at Carnegie Mellon.
The Tigers got a few impressive wins in their ODAC slate, including a two-game sweep of Eastern Mennonite, who tied for fourth in the ODAC, along with a 60-56 win over Randolph College, a team that finished sixth in the league.
Hampden-Sydney ended the regular season with back-to-back road losses by 20+ points to Randolph-Macon and Roanoke, but those two losses proved to be the wake-up call the Tigers needed. Just three days after the Roanoke game, the Tigers entered the ODAC Tournament as the #8 seed and hosted #9 seed Roanoke College in the first round. Hampden-Sydney manhandled the Maroons to the score of a 104-82 win to advance to Salem for the ODAC Tournament Quarterfinals.
The Tigers matched up against #1 seed Randolph-Macon in the first game of the quarterfinals. The Yellow Jackets swept the Tigers in the regular season and had their sights on another ODAC Championship. However, Hampden-Sydney showed their performance against Roanoke was no fluke as they rolled past Randolph-Macon 68-55 to send R-MC back home to Ashland while H-SC advanced to the semi-finals.
In the semifinals, the Tigers would once again square off against a team they saw twice in the regular season: Eastern Mennonite. H-SC won both matchups in the regular season by double-digits but they were both competitive games throughout. This game proved to be drastically different as the Tigers led by as many as 32 points en route to blowing out the Royals 104-80 to advance to the ODAC Championship game for the first time since 2007. In the process, Hampden-Sydney became the first team in ODAC Tournament history to score 100 or more points in two tournament games.
The Tigers matched up with Virginia Wesleyan in the title game. It was a tightly contested game with neither team leading by more than six points at any point in the second half, but the Marlins were able to secure the game by making five-of-six free throws in the final minute.
Williamson, who was named First-Team All-ODAC the night before the quarterfinals game vs. R-MC, had a sensational four-game run in the ODAC Tournament. He set the tournament record for made field goals, tied the tournament record for rebounds, and scored the second-most points in a single ODAC Tournament. He along with Mike Murray were named to the ODAC All-Tournament team. Additionally, Williamson was named Second-Team All-South Region by D3hoops.com.
On March 18, junior golfer Brian Burt was named the ODAC Golfer of the Week for his performances in the Tigers' third-place finish in the TaylorMade ADIDAS Intercollegiate and 13th-place finish in the Jekyll Island Invitational.
Burt put together a pair of top-10 finishes, including the top prize at the TaylorMade ADIDAS Intercollegiate. He posted a 1-over-par 217 over three rounds on the Cotton Dike Course at Dataw Island, including a tournament-best 69 during the second round. He shot 74 in both the first and third rounds. His efforts helped Hampden-Sydney to a third-place team finish (921).

Members of the Tiger football team gathered on March 22 for a banquet to celebrate their historic season last fall and to receive their 2013 ODAC Champion rings. This was the second championship ring for the juniors and seniors, who also won the ODAC Championship in 2011.
The 2013 Tigers won Hampden-Sydney's eighth ODAC title and, for the first time in school history, won a first-round playoff game with a 42-34 decision over Maryville. The Tigers then travelled out west and fell 31-21 to second-ranked nationally Linfield College in Oregon.
Individually, several players received accolades, including 13 All-ODAC picks with senior linebacker Tyler Ikwild and head coach Marty Favret taking home Defensive Player and Coach of the Year awards, respectively. Five players were named All-Region with quarterback Nash Nance being named the South Region Offensive Player of the Year.
The Tigers kick off the 2014 season on the road on September 6, facing Wabash College in Indiana.
Senior football offensive lineman Will Ferrell was one of two dozen local football prospects invited to the Pro Day at the University of Richmond in March.
NFL hopefuls from Liberty, James Madison, Virginia State, and Richmond joined the Tiger All-American in the workout. There were 19 NFL scouts on hand to evaluate the players.
Ferrell, the three-time First Team All-ODAC tackle, recorded the second strongest lift, benching 225 pounds 30 times. He also clocked in at 5.1 in the 40-yard dash.
"Will's career has been truly remarkable," noted offensive line coach Zeke Traylor '06. "He will graduate as one of the most decorated Tigers in our storied history, and I could not be more proud of what he's accomplished."
