World Media Celebrate '1001 Inventions'

1001 Inventions: Science in Muslim lands
ISTANBUL (AP) — For generations, the lore of "One Thousand and One Nights" helped shape Western notions about Muslim culture. The collection of tales described an exotic world of harems and flying carpets, Sinbad and monsters, Aladdin and the jinn, Ali Baba and the 40 thieves.
Now an exhibition about innovation in Muslim civilization seeks to highlight what organizers say is an overshadowed period of history, a "Golden Age" in which advances in engineering, medicine and architecture laid groundwork for Western progress from the Renaissance until modern times.
In a play on the old stories, it is titled: "1001 Inventions: Discover the Muslim Heritage in Our World."
The show seeks to be strictly academic, and shuns political or religious pronouncements. But the robust response of many young Muslims suggests a thirst for cultural pride against a contemporary backdrop of conflict and suspicion between the West and Muslim countries.
"Originally, it was aimed at the Western public," said Salim Al-Hassani, organizer of the Britain-based exhibition and a professor of mechanical engineering at Manchester University. "But we found that when people from the Muslim world, when they see it, they get fired up, especially the young people who are in search of identity."
It's a slick production, with an introductory film featuring a Harry Potter-like fantasy sequence with Sir Ben Kingsley, the Oscar-winning actor, as a mysterious figure who dispels three skeptical students in a library of preconceptions about the past.
The centerpiece of the show is a replica of an elaborate "elephant" clock that symbolized a multicultural spirit and pioneered modern automation and robotics. It used Greek water-powered technology, and the figures of an Indian elephant, an Egyptian phoenix, a Persian carpet, Chinese dragons and men in Arabian dress.
It was designed 800 years ago by Al-Jazari, a Muslim engineer in what is today southeast Turkey. Other giants of innovation during the 1,000-year period that began in the seventh century were physician Al-Zahrawi, whose innovations shaped European surgery, and Fatima Al-Fihri, whose multi-subject institute of learning, with no gender restrictions, laid foundations for the modern university.
"There is a perception that Islam was always backward and made no contribution to the world of science," said visitor Sule Seda Tezer, who was especially pleased to note the high profile of women in the displays. "The West has a phobia about Islam. I think there is an effort to break the phobia and build better ties between the East and West."
With 40,000 followers, the "1001 Inventions" Facebook page echoes her enthusiasm. "Come to Algeria!" and "we are waiting 4 u in Damascus" are among the posts. From Saudi Arabia, Abdull-Kareem Andeejani wrote:
"Will you ever come to open in Riyadh? Please? I want to know more of my own history, I see it as highly important to look back in time, so that we can pick up what we have forgotten."
The exhibit has interactive features designed to attract children, and details research in optics, music and algebra from Muslim civilizations that once encompassed parts of Europe and ranged as far as China.
One curiosity is a replica of the flying machine of Abbas ibn Firnas, who constructed a winged framework near Cordoba in Spain and flew briefly before injuring himself. Centuries later, Leonardo da Vinci worked on his own flying designs.
In Istanbul, at least 6,000 people a day — up to twice that on weekends — file daily into the exhibition tent in front of the former Byzantine church of Haghia Sophia, and near the fabled Blue Mosque, built during the Ottoman Empire. The display coincides with the Islamic holy month of Ramadan; the tent stays open until 3 a.m. to welcome a nocturnal crowd. There is no admittance fee.
The project was created by the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation, an academic group based in Britain. Funding came from the Jameel Foundation, a British charity linked to Abdul Latif Jameel Co. Ltd., a Toyota car distributor based in Saudi Arabia.
The exhibition had a successful run at the Science Museum in London earlier this year, and will move to the New York Hall of Science after ending its seven-week Istanbul stint on Oct. 5. It arrived hurriedly in Turkey after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan saw it in London and said he was eager to host it.
"There was an attempt to impose a history that jumped from ancient Greece straight to the Renaissance period," Erdogan said at the opening ceremony last week. "Later on, some Western scientists made a praiseworthy effort to acknowledge the contributions of Islamic civilization to the history of science."
Erdogan leads an Islamic-oriented government that has cut away at the power of traditional elites with a strongly secular background. He has also sought to elevate the memory of the Ottoman Empire, whose attempts at Western-style reform failed to stem its collapse in the early 20th century.
Ehsan Masoud, author of "Science and Islam: A History" and editor of a research policy newsletter in Britain, said scientific innovation in Muslim lands began to decline as Islamic empires grew weak and poor, and Western colonial powers expanded.
"It's fair to say that history is written by the victors," Masoud said. "Quite understandably, Western nations are hardly going to start crediting the people they've defeated."

This taster exhibition will showcase the likes of Al-Jazari's Elephant Clock and Scribe Clock as well as his famous water pump raising machine.
The exhibition will also cover pioneering projects such as the 1001 Inventions Curriculum Enrichment Programme (CEP) and Cultural Understanding in Science Project (CUSP). FSTC's Contribution to the Intercultural Dialogue at the General Assembly of the United Nations by: FSTC LimitedIn 12-13 November 2008, the United Nations organised in New York a high-level meeting of the General Assembly to promote inter-faith dialogue. The meeting was marked by the active participation of the heads of state and senior officials of more than 75 Member States who came together to support mutual tolerance, respect and understanding. At the end of the high-level meeting, the General Assembly of the UN adopted a general declaration praising the values of tolerance and mutual respect between faiths and cultures. On the occasion of this high-level meeting in New York, The Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation organised at the UN in New York a display on "Multi-Faith Scientists in Islamic Civilisation" and a conference on the "Strategic importance of Muslim Heritage in our World and its impact on Diplomatic, Educational and Socio-economic Developments". 1001 Inventions Distinguished in London by the AMSS (UK) by: FSTC LimitedIn a meeting organised in London on June 5, 2009, The Association of Muslim Social Scientists in the United Kingdom (AMSS - UK) distinguished the Global Initiative 1001 Inventions by granting it the prestigious Building Bridges Award for 2009. 1001 Inventions Book Continues its Way in the Media: Two Recent Reviews by: FSTC LimitedIn the following, we republish two recent and very elogious reviews of 1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World published by FSTC in 2006 (Editor-in-Chief Salim al-Hassani). These reviews were published by Carl Kessler in CarlsBooks on 9 July 9 2009 and by Kerim Balci in the Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman on 14 June 2009. They show that the message of the book continues to filter smoothly in the media, giving rise to large adhesion from various circles, and from individuals, all seeking more mutual respect and understanding.

Anywhere secure to leave the bike at the end whilst watching P-R and consuming a well earned beer and frites, or should I plan on bringing my U-lock?
Looking forward to it and weather may actually be good ;).
carl Keen
9th April 2010 07:07am
Is the map on the day fairly detailed or do we need to bring our own?
Joe Hall
9th April 2010 08:45am
Chris, there will be secure bike parking at the pub, with someone watching the bikes… No need to bring your lock.
Carl, the more prepared you are the better. Bring your own map if you wish, otherwise our route card and the road markings should be enough to get you round.
Chris Tree
9th April 2010 09:07am
carl Keen
9th April 2010 09:22am
Road markings! blimey you have been busy I wasn't expecting that.
This is almost sounding like borderline 'to good to be true'
Chris Burnett
9th April 2010 09:42am
Thanks Joe - appreciate the effort that has obviously gone into arranging this.
Russell Robson
9th April 2010 11:43am
Thanks - all we need now is some rain?!
Joe Hall
9th April 2010 12:03pm
That's not even funny, Russell. : )
Jan Sotorník
9th April 2010 12:09pm
Forecast for here (Czech Republic) looks promising 10°C and rain, so all I need is some cobbles :-)
ross cunliffe
9th April 2010 12:57pm
This is looking to be an epic - can't wait! Is there a rough start time or is everyone heading off when they want?
Joe Hall
9th April 2010 01:01pm
9am is the official start time.
Obviously the sooner you set off the better but it will have to be staggered if there is a large number of riders…
REMEMBER - you need to register at the start to collect your route card which entitles you to a free beer and frites.
See you there.
Mike Hurl
9th April 2010 04:34pm
Have you got any expectations re: numbers of riders?
What beer is on offer? :)
And do we have to give the route card back to claim this or just show it (I would like to keep mine)?
And how far is the route if the 'bail-out' option is taken?
Ian Stephenson
10th April 2010 09:54am
From the map above I've attempted to create a Garmin course file. I'm not sure how accurate it is and it only comes out to 85km but might be useful to store a rough idea of the route if you have a edge 305/705
Ian Stephenson
10th April 2010 10:23am
ah.. just noticed a garmin route map already created - that's an hour of my life I won't get back! :)
Chris Burnett
11th April 2010 05:18pm
Just got back - excellent day's riding, and nice to try something a bit different. Thanks to all the folks at Rapha for organising a great day :)
carl Keen
11th April 2010 07:36pm
Probably the best days 100k I've ever done. Great company and good riding all round. And the Rapha personel on hand all day were a credit to you.
I think it could have been very different if it had been wet all day?
David Bloore
11th April 2010 07:42pm
Thanks for a great day! My only critism is that the way marking was a little well hidden, but a great ride ride anyway. Thanks to all involved
Mark Phillips

Fantastic idea and a good hard ride! Thanks to the Rapha team. Getting through Sector 5 without a foot down was very satisfying

Thanks, fun ride, great beer!
Russell Robson
11th April 2010 10:33pm
Can I get a copy of the route card, mine got rather sweaty!
ross cunliffe
12th April 2010 08:54am
Well done guys! A really different 'feel' to this ride and I am pretty sure everyone had a great day. I did have a chuckle about some of the 'blinging' carbon super-bikes ploughing through the mud - so much for saving 20 grams with a £140 stem :)
sie medway-smith
12th April 2010 10:52am
Fantastic!!!! loved every Km, Can't believe I made it round without a puncher (especially through Mimms Park) .Anyone know how many punchers it took to win the Fletch jersey?
Jeff Lawrence
12th April 2010 11:04am
Thanks for the event chaps!
Really enjoyed the day, a really good feel to the ride and very social.
Particularly enjoyed the bemused look of people walking their dogs through quite wooded paths when a group of lycra clad roadies come plunging through the woods, very funny!
Only downside was we had to cut short as the signage wasn't great, but definitely glad I turned up.
Vince Mullen
12th April 2010 03:29pm
Thanks for that guys, fantastic idea & day out. Really enjoyed the whole route & a relax in the pub afterwards, cheers!
Mark Court
12th April 2010 08:49pm
Many thanks guys & girls who helped organize the day out. Nice that everyone made the effort & rode on proper 'Roubaix' style bikes- it's amazing how much abuse a road bike can take.
Nice to have bike looked after while enjoying our chips and great beer.
Paul Brooks
12th April 2010 09:35pm
Fantastic route (though a little more signposting would have helped) and a great day out. I really hope that this becomes an annual event.

In 1991, Index published, for the first time in English, a remarkable series of documents from the Lubianka, the KGB headquarters. This includes the devastating record of the interrogation of the celebrated Russian-Jewish writer Isaac Babel, murdered by Stalin's regime in 1940. In a forced confession in 1939, Babel is reported as saying: 'I wrote contrary to the interest of the masses and the Party, I fell into slanderous generalisations concerning the situation in the country and attacked the current leadership.' Compare this with the imprisonment of the Chinese dissident Chen Wei last December, for 'inciting subversion of state power'. There is no greater crime than challenging, or being perceived to challenge, the one-party state.
Chen Wei was a signatory of Charter 08, a manifesto for reform co-written by Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo. The Charter is modelled on the famous Czech document Charter 77 and Václav Havel, one of its architects and a regular contributor to Index in the 70s and 80s, remains an inspiration for Chinese dissidents. You can read one of Chen Wei's powerful essays which led to his trial in this issue on pp. 107–113, and you can find Václav Havel's essays and the interrogation of Isaac Babel in our archive. In celebration of Index's anniversary, our publisher SAGE is generously making the archive of the magazine freely available online from 26 March until the end of the year. You can access the archive at http://www.indexoncensorship.org/magazine-archive. It is a literary treasure trove and also an historic document of the extremes of human behaviour – from man at his most inhumane to his most courageous.
What's clear is that censorship never dies, it simply changes its form. Technology can provide a route around it, but will never put the censors out of action. It is still up to the dissidents, the protesters, the whistleblowers, the artists and the writers to get the word out through their sheer determination. As Aung San Suu Kyi, one of the most remarkable freedom fighters of our time, writes in this issue: 'When we write about our right to freedom of expression we begin to practice it. There can be no theoretical advocacy of these freedoms, there can only be practical, practising advocacy.'
Take advantage of our special anniversary discount offer of 40 per cent on an annual subscription by calling SAGE Customer Services on +44 (0) 207 324 8701, quoting 40YIOCM1. Index on Censorship has now grown into an organisation that fights for freedom of expression around the world.

Media: Wayne Hart Communications Manager Makita U.S.A. (714) 522-8088 x 4410 firstname.lastname@example.com
Consumer: (800) 4-MAKITA makitatools.com
November 26, 2007 – La Mirada, CA – Suzuki and Makita, sponsors of the Team Makita Suzuki Supercross and Motocross racing teams, are offering a free Makita driver-drill with the purchase of a Suzuki youth dirt bike or ATV during the holiday season.
The promotion applies to the purchase of eight Suzuki models, including the all-new DR-Z70 with a 67cc four stroke engine. A purchase of any of these youth models includes a free Makita 18 volt Compact Lithium-Ion ½" Driver-Drill Kit (model BDF452HW).
The Makita BDF452HW is unique in both design and performance. The 18V Compact Lithium-Ion battery reaches full charge in just 15 minutes, four times faster than the competition. The Makita-built motor delivers 450 inch-pounds of torque in a compact design weighing only 3.5 lbs, the best power-to-weight ratio of any compact driver-drill on the market. And the driver-drill features a new black and white exterior design, distinguishing this compact model from Makita's top-of-the-line product in the LXT Series.
"Suzuki is a top name in motorcycles and ATV's, and we believe the Suzuki rider is also a serious tool user," said Brent Withey, Makita Brand Manager. "This promotion allows us to get one of our hottest products into the hands of a Suzuki customer."
Makita's partnership with Suzuki – as well as Kicker Stereo, Ogio, and Monster Energy – is part of the brand's ongoing effort to reach the younger, high-energy professional tool user. The two companies have collaborated on various partnerships since 2003, including the Team Makita Suzuki racing team featuring 17-time champion rider Ricky Carmichael.

A physician who helps his clients bring new life into the world is accused of an ethical breach that's also criminal in this independent drama. Dr. Freeman (Colm Feore) is a doctor who runs an upscale fertility clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada. Freeman specializes in helping women who have had trouble getting pregnant conceive, usually through artificial insemination techniques or transplanting donated eggs into his patients. Over the course of several weeks, Freeman inseminates nine women from different walks of life, ranging from middle-aged but newly married Lottie (Andie MacDowell) and a lesbian whose reproductive clock is ticking, Elsa (Donna D'Errico) to Frances (Geraldine Chaplin), an aging socialite who needs a son to inherit her husband's fortune and sassy, outspoken Salome (Jennifer Tilly). Of these nine women, eight become pregnant and give birth to healthy children, but when the new mothers compare notes, they discover their children bear a striking resemblance to one another. When journalist Tallulah (Elizabeth McGovern) looks into their story, they begin to suspect that Freeman used his own sperm to fertilize his patients rather than the donor samples they selected, a breach of conduct that lands the doctor in court. Inconceivable also stars Kerry Fox, Amanda Plummer and Colin Mochrie; Geraldine Chaplin's daughter Oona Chaplin co-stars as Frances's grown daughter. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Mambo Italiano director Émile Gaudreault takes the helm for this Montréal-set comedy drama pondering the unique relationships shared between mothers and daughters. As Clara's mother lay dying, she mournfully voices her regret for never taking the time to truly connect with her daughter. Emotionally shattered by this revelation, Clara vows that she will direct all of her energy into bonding with her twenty-one year old daughter Bianca. But sometimes when we probe to deeply into the lives of loved ones we find things that are unexpected and shocking. When Clara realizes just how little she really knows about Bianca, coping with the unsavory truth about her little girl proves more difficult than she ever anticipated. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Bitter Jester
On the cusp of stardom, standup comic Maija DiGiorgio suffered an emotional breakdown while performing before a room packed with a number of the comedy industry's head honchos -- whom were on the receiving end of DiGiorgio's obscenity-laced outburst -- at the Aspen Comedy Festival. Subsequently faced with a nearly industry-wide blacklisting as a result, the comic (and film school graduate) came upon the idea of creating a film journal to document her struggles within the industry, as well as within her own psyche. The result is Bitter Jester, DiGiorgio's 2003 film that started as a document of self-examination and evolved into an examination of success and achievement within the standup circuit. Greatly assisted by the contacts and prestige of executive producer Richard Belzer -- a friend and former employer of DiGiorgio's boyfriend and co-conspirator Kenny Simmons -- DiGiorgio proceeds to gain access to a surprising berth of comedy legends, including Chevy Chase, Richard Pryor, Phyllis Diller, Whoopi Goldberg, and George Carlin, all of whom dispense insightful and sometimes surprising opinions about their individual achievements. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

Pregnant Toronto-based performance artist Stephanie (portrayed by a very pregnant Valerie Buhagiar) accidentally sets labor into motion after a rather rambunctious round of lovemaking with her current boyfriend, Ian (Tom Melissis), whose unsure whether or not he's the baby's dad, but is willing to take on the job if he is. In her resultant giddiness, Stephanie proceeds to gather all of her closest friends and family -- and all their problems and neuroses -- for the much-anticipated event. Included in the birthing party are Anita (Debra McGrath), Stephanie's high-strung older sister and ex-friend of Stephanie's midwife, Julia (Angela Gei); Jack (Karl Pruner), Anita's husband and corporate lawyer big shot, who is beginning to have concerns about his marriage; food photographer and official birth documentarian Gary (Colin Mochrie), who was also a lover of Stephanie's and also wishes to be the baby's father; Dani (Barbara Radecki), who dislikes children and is only present because of a drunken oath she made to Stephanie; and Azaan (Derwin Jordan), Stephanie's neighbor and frequent artistic partner. As Julia arrives on the scene and sets up a birthing tub in the middle of Stephanie's expansive loft, each participant does what he or she can to help the expectant mother comfortably give birth while trying to deal with his or her own personal crises. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

The Drew Carey Show: Drew Live II
First seen November 8, 2000 on ABC, this episode represents the second time that The Drew Carey Show was originally telecast live, with three different versions seen in the three main time zones (the syndicated version is the Pacific Zone broadcast--with all bloopers and ad-libs intact). The plot gets under way as Mr. Wick (Craig Ferguson) fires an employee who objects to the shoddy treatment afforded Drew (Drew Carey). Feeling responsible for the man's plight, Drew gets him a new job--and before long, our hero has established a successful employement agency in his own home. Unfortunately, he is less successful finding new jobs for his old friends Oswald (Diedrich Bader) and Lewis (Ryan Styles), especially when both of them compete for a single opening at a ritzy restaurant. As in the previous "live" episode, several regulars from the Drew Carey-hosted series Whose Line Is It Anyway? show up to perform some truly weird improvisational sketches. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Drew Carey Show: Drew Live
This classic episode was originally telecast live on ABC, with three different versions for three different time zones, each supplied with radically different improvs and songs peformed by Brad Sherwood and the cast of Whose Line Is It Anyway? The plot finds Steve (John Carroll Lynch) and Mimi (Kathy Kinney) attempting to hold their separate bachelor and bachelorette parties at Drew's house. Kate (Christa Miller) hopes to use the festivities as an excuse to declare her love for Drew (Drew Carey), but somehow he becomes convinced that another guy is the object of her affections. In addition to the aforementioned Brad Sherwood, Whose Line Is It Anyway regulars Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and Laura Hall appear in cameos, with Mochrie reprising his role as the enigmatic Eugene from the previous episode "She's Gotta Have It". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Drew Carey Show: She's Gotta Have It
When sexy handywoman Sharon (Jenice Bergere) breaks up with her boyfriend, Drew (Drew Carey) lets her come to his house to mend her broken heart, promising not to take advantage of the situation. This promise, however, doesn't stop the hot-to-trot Sharon from taking advantage of HIM! In fact, so often thereafter does Sharon drop in for a "quickie" that poor Drew begins to feel somewhat cheap. . .almost like an "American Gigolo" (from the movie of the same name). Meanwhile, Mr. Wick (Craig Ferguson) takes a curious liking to the store's new employee Eugene Anderson (played by Drew Carey's Whose Line Is It Anyway costar Colin Mochrie), who never utters a single word. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This offbeat police thriller with heavy doses of humor was written by John Patrick Shanley, the former playwright who wrote Cher's hit romantic comedy Moonstruck. Kevin Kline stars as Nick Starkey, a brilliant former New York City police detective who has been exiled to the fire department because of his unorthodox ways. He's called back to service by his police commissioner brother Frank (Harvey Keitel) in the hopes that he can find a bizarre serial killer who's been murdering one woman a month. Nick's condition to agreeing to help is that he gets to cook dinner for Frank and his snooty wife Christine (Susan Sarandon), a former girlfriend of his. Ultimately, Nick uses his Zen-like intuition and some high-tech computer hardware (with prominent product placement plugs) to find the killer, pausing to have an affair with the mayor's beautiful daughter Bernadette (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. In the improbable conclusion, Nick figures out the exact day the killer will strike and the exact apartment! January Man is too tongue-in-cheek to be taken seriously as a thriller. In addition to Keitel and Sarandon the stellar supporting cast includes Rod Steiger as the mayor and Danny Aiello as a tough police captain who rails against Nick's "beatnik" ways. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Clothes make the superspy in this high-energy action comedy. Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) is a well-meaning but clumsy New York City cab driver who is tapped by Steena (Debi Mazar), associate to multi-millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs), for a new job as Devlin's personal limo driver. After a mysterious accident lands Devlin in the hospital, Tong learns that his new boss has a secret -- when he's not wheeling and dealing in high finance, Devlin is also a secret agent for the CSA, a top-level security agency. The secret to Devlin's success as a spy is his trademark tuxedo, a suit which is loaded with special gadgets which turns him into a high-tech fighting machine. After Tong dons the tuxedo and is transformed into a martial arts master, he takes over for Devlin and discovers that the agent's injuries didn't happen by accident. As Tong tries to chase down a handful of international super-villains bent on world conquest, he has to deal with Devlin's new partner, Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a CSA rookie who is just as baffled by her new assignment as Tong. The Tuxedo marked the feature-film debut for director Kevin Donovan, who had previously won international acclaim for his work in television commercials. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A federal judge has approved Transocean Ltd.'s agreement with the Justice Department to pay $1 billion in civil penalties for its role in the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier said in his ruling Tuesday that he found "no just reason for delay" in approving the civil settlement.
Last week, a different judge approved Transocean's criminal settlement with the federal government. The company pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and will pay an additional $400 million in criminal penalties.
Transocean owned the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which exploded and sank over BP's Macondo well in April 2010. The accident killed 11 rig workers and spawned the nation's worst offshore oil spill.

Sexual Health: After sex, he passes out while I lie wide awake. Why does that happen?
Special Offer
After sex, he passes out while I lie wide awake. Why does that happen?
"It's a misconception that sex always leads to peaceful slumber," says Amy Blanchard, M.D., director of the Georgia Sleep Center in Augusta. "For some, it has the opposite effect, since lovemaking raises your heart rate, blood pressure, and adrenaline levels."
To prevent post-sex insomnia, reschedule the action for earlier in the evening. And try not to let him drift off until you're satisfied. "Orgasm can help bring the body down to its normal resting state," Dr. Blanchard explains. So if you're not climaxing regularly, you need to have a chat with your guy about how the two of you can be more in sync.

Josh Russell has played nearly every position across the diamond, but it wasn't until partway through this season that the Lakewood Ranch High senior found a new home on the infield.
Prior to this season, Russell had spent the majority of his time playing shortstop while occasionally pitching in relief for the Mustangs. But as the season progressed, Russell's pitching continued to improve, and soon the right-hander became a permanent part of the Mustangs pitching rotation.
"This year, he's done everything we've asked him to do," coach Mike Mullen said. "We've taken him out of his everyday shortstop role, and I think that's helped him by keeping some of the pressure off his arm. He's just done an outstanding job for us."
Russell is 5-1 as a starter this season, with his most recent win coming April 21 against state-ranked and then undefeated Pendleton. He allowed just one run on six hits before turning the ball over in the seventh inning.
"It was pretty cool to beat them because they're ranked (in the state), Russell said. "In the beginning of the season, I wasn't really considered one of the coach's go-to guys, but I guess I am now."
After closing out their regular season with a 5-4 win over rival Braden River April 24, the Mustangs began their quest for a district title against Charlotte in a Class 5A-District 12 quarterfinal April 28.
The Mustangs beat the Tarpons earlier this season with Russell on the mound.
"As long I pitch well, then I shouldn't have a problem," Russell said. "I threw a complete game against them earlier this year, so I'm pretty confident going into the game."
