DEATH ISSUE: Unlike in Oregon, Death with Dignity is not legal in California. Why not?
By Brian Smith
Dad was confused.
He was taking a combination of drugs that were keeping him alive and reducing his pain. His morphine dose was quite high.
The fact that he had even made it to 78 years old was amazing considering he survived California's polio crisis of the 1940s. But now it was coming back. Post-Polio Syndrome weakens muscles that were previously affected by the polio infection. This brilliant man was atrophying both mentally and physically before our eyes. Eventually, he would not be able to breathe. And there was no cure.
"When do we go?" he asked us. "Where are the other attorneys? This is an important deposition."
He was on a kind of mental auto-pilot, reliving 45 years of familiar work stress — not the way anyone wants to experience his final days.
"There are no more depositions," my wife explained in soothing tones. "Your job is done. You were one of California's finest lawyers and you helped build a respected firm in the Central Valley. You should be very proud of your legacy."
"Why won't you let me go?" he said with tears welling up in his eyes.
That cut straight to the issue at hand.
For months, father had been telling everyone who would listen that he was "done." He wanted to die. His quality of life had become so bad (a collection of pills, oxygen machines, and bad cable TV he could no longer understand) that he had nothing left to live for and wanted to die peacefully in his own home, surrounded by loved ones.
But choosing when one dies is not an option in California. The law is quite clear. California Penal Code §401 says: "Every person who deliberately aids, or advises, or encourages another to commit suicide, is guilty of a felony."
The circle of family taking care of Dad felt overwhelmed.
The visits by Medicare-supported home hospice nurses were welcome. They were heroic in their one clear mission: to reduce suffering. But hospice nurses are not in the business of ethically assisting someone to die. That remains controversial and illegal in California.
The local "death with dignity" group recommended the only method legally allowed in the state: The dying patient simply quits eating or drinking. In a few days, they slip into a coma and never wake up. But isn't dehydration and starvation really a form of torture? For this to work quickly, not even slivers of ice to cool the mouth are allowed.
There must be a better way.
I would very much like to see this in new Mexico where I live. I am a cancer patient with terminal metastasized prostate cancer...I can move to a co-operating state before it is time by why does that have to be....
Thanks for your good work.
Five years ago, my mother ended her suffering in Oregon, where she lived, under that state's Death with Dignity act following a courageous 18-month struggle with terminal breast cancer. She was so miserable by the end ... literally drowning in her own body and fighting for every breath. She was so glad to have made the arrangements to have gotten that final prescription months before "just in case" she needed it. After we said our goodbyes, she gulped down her lethal cocktail, not hesitating for an instant. My father and I held her hand as she slipped away. It was such a kind and peaceful death ... the sort that I have secured, as is my simple moral obligation, for every animal companion with whom I have ever shared my life when suffering overwhelmed quality of life, and the vet assured me that nothing more could be done to change this ... but which I myself, along with every other human being, am denied by my government in my state of California.
Why? Why is California, historically and proudly at the forefront of so many social and human rights issues, trailing behind other states on an issue of such profound and fundamental importance? Why must Californians suffer needlessly through final days and hours if these have no quality and bring no joy but only agony, delirium or merciful unconsciousness? Why must we stand helplessly by if our loved ones are so suffering, and begging to be permitted to die? What possible "interest" can the state claim in preventing a terminally ill patient from seeking a painless end to unbearable suffering a day or a week earlier than his or her terminal disease would naturally provide?
We are not talking about "death panels." We are not talking about euthanasia. We are talking about giving mentally competent, terminally ill patients, for whom death is imminent and inevitable, and who are in considerable pain, the right to decide they are ready to die ... to secure a lethal prescription from a willing physician ... to take that prescription at home and pass away peacefully ... surrounded, if they so desire, by family and friends. The issue is not simply one of death with dignity, but death with humanity.

Posted: Feb 9, 2013 8:22 PM by Meteorologist Adam Bell
As snow begins to fall across the region tonight, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the western part of our viewing area, including Butte-Silver Bow County. Snow is expected to continue through the evening hours into Sunday morning before tapering off to flurries Sunday afternoon.
Most locations can expect anywhere from 1 to 4 inches of snow, with the mountains possibly getting as much as 4 to 8 inches. Those who plan to travel in the next 24 hours should expect winter-like driving conditions. With mild temperatures over the last couple of days, the snow may initially melt on roadways before freezing and building a sheet of ice under the snow.
Once the snow tapers off on Sunday afternoon, a cool night is expected with many locations reaching near or below 0 by Monday morning. The work week looks to be warmer with near average temperatures and a minimal chance for snow by mid-week.
Tune in tonight at 10, Meteorologist Adam Bell will be live from our weather patio with the latest storm information.

But nowhere did you mention any sustained increase.
I don't know about you, but with moderate haste values (Ret is an off-spec for me, so ilvl of only 496) there is hardly ever a time where I'm sitting around waiting in PVE content. Any current "filler time" I might get already has sacred shield claiming it. Reducing the effect of our already vastly underwhelming final tier abilities wouldn't solve the issue, and would just make them less interesting than they already are (since they already don't scale with haste, etc.).
I agree with your mentality of "leveling off the dips" of the roller coaster that is Ret; precisely why I suggested the lowering of CDs, which would do just that. By reducing the height of the peaks, but commensurately increasing their frequency, we see a rise in sustained damage levels without the burden of "balance issues" caused by those high peaks. Total damage stays roughly equal, but you get more options to hit those "fun buttons" and less YouTube all-star videos of stupidly large numbers that set classes back. This way, even if you DO choose to pop them all together, the net cap of %increase is lower than it is currently, overall reducing burst.
I just don't get the logic here: you suggest lowering the CD and effect of abilities like ES or LH, but doing so to AW is a "poor solution"?

While this 38 Studios investment could turn out to be the deal of the decade, placing a large bet on a single video game company that has no revenue and no track record of success smacks of business naivety. The amount of money wee will invest means that the taxpayers of RI bear all the risk of this company developing, marketing and distributing successful games. Additional investors won't be needed for a while - they can sit back and wait until the company fails or succeeds before they choose to participate. We bear all the risk. .
Sheesh, I would love to see the State have a credible, documented strategy for high-tech economic development, and not simply place one high-profile, sports-name-branded, super high-risk investment as a cornerstone of our jobs program.
You gotta know that people in the video game industry are scratching thier heads on this one. I am, too.
With all the home-based and very small businesses that already exist in this state that could use a much smaller portion of the $75 million guarantee, why is it that we always have to go out of state to lure companies in that, with few exceptions, either do little for the local economy or fail and cost taxpayers millions?
How on earth do we pay for this if 38 studios fails? Let's pray that it's the success story of the century (thus far) and that legions of Rhode Islanders are back to work over the next couple of years as a result.
Excuse me if I don't place any bets in that column...my state government seems to have done so already...

I normally don't EVER remember my dreams, or EVER wake up at 7:45 am, not this early, keep that in mind. This was very scary, i suppose i cud detail the dream. but it was horrifying... i was in a dark room, that had rows of people decapitated into pieces just moaning in pain, and the floor was moving as if it was taking all of us just lying there to a destination, maybe to an eternal pit of fire? although i felt no pain... just the sight of this horror made me cry out to God, and with every call my heart dropped LITTERALY down into my stomach cus i knew i was too late... and so i closed my eyes, repeated: "release me, release me, release me, please God" And than... i woke up. Why did i dream of such things? this dream was just sickening and scary, and why did i wake up at 7:45 by command? this was surely not me, i believe God released me and is speaking to me, and maybe to this site, cause i asked for help through typing this message to you all, there is not much time. Ask Jesus into your heart, be sincere, accept him as your True loving father! God Bless, Are you saved?

It's so sparsely settled that it was good to find a place with a fairly big selection of wine and high-end beer. The prices were average. But there was little else offered although they seem to do catering. They were very friendly!

An excellent choice, you really can't go wrong with Charisa and Paul. There attention to detail and dedication are obvious.
I have eaten here often on the way to and from a days skiing. Breakfast on weekends is delicious, quick and affordable. Paninis are wonderful lunch options. The dinner options are great with dinner for two specials weekdays. Nice selection of wine and beer to compliment dinner.
We stopped in after skiing to pick up food for our last dinner in a condo at Sunday River. From the reviews we had read, we expected the food to be good. We chose salmon in puff pastry, grilled zucchini and summer squash, and winter slaw. The meal was nothing short of amazing! When we head home later today, we... More
Read the reviews on Trip Advisor so decided to give this place a try when we were at Sunday River. The Chili was awesome! Would go here again when we are in town.
I visited here with a colleague on a business trip, after seeing some good reviews on here.

The women who helped us were EXTREMELY friendly and awesome, going... More
We walked in during a rainy day looking for a quick lunch. As a vegetarian, there were a few choices but none that appealed to me on that rainy day.

The Ninemile Remount Depot was established in 1930 to breed, train and winter horses and mules for the Forest Service. Though its mission as the agency's only remount depot ended in 1953, Ninemile Ranger Station continues to support ranger districts in Montana, North Dakota and northern Idaho by growing hay and wintering stock for summer use in wilderness areas.
The ranger station, at about 3,200 feet elevation, is reached by Remount Road along Ninemile Creek. The creek flows into the Clark Fork River, just nine miles west of the old Frenchtown stage stop.
"The ranger station is a working ranch," says District Ranger Garry Edson. "Ninemile is a unique place, rich in the history of the Forest Service and its stock."

Find A Grave Memorial# 62177464
Look like you posted a photo taken by you in 2010 @ Hill Cemetery Carroll County Mo.
The stone appeared to be toppled and worn. From the image posted I can not make out the unit designation and something about Philippines.
I also put in a request for his parents stones which should be near by.
This is my Great Grand Uncle, had no knowledge of him being in the Spanish American War. Can not find any rosters of Missouri units he was on. And from what I can find none of the Missouri units ever deployed overseas. And based off Date of Death I doubt he was in the Philippines Insurrection.
Thanks for your work.

HATHAWAY family
Hi, Billie:
I came across your reply to my friend Sue Bennett's question and thought I'd offer some information.
Benjamin HATHAWAY (1699-1762) and his Unknown first wife were my 5th-great-grandparents. A marriage in either MA or NJ has yet to be found but they likely married before 1720 as that is when first son, Gershom, was born. His birthplace is not known and could be MA but is, most likely, NJ.
Benjamin and "whatshername" had nine children, at least eight of which were all born NJ:
Benjamin, 1722
Rebecca, 1724
John, 1726
Joseph, 1728
Eleazar, 1731
Thankful, 1735
Jonathan, 1738
Benoni, 1743
Whatshername died between 6 Nov 1743 (Benoni's birth) and 14 Mar 1744 when Benjamin remarried widow Elizabeth (Mehurin) Crossman in Morristown, NJ. She brought her three children, Theophilus, Betty, and Joshua Crossman, to the marriage.
Benjamin and Elizabeth went on the have their own children:
Clemens, 1745
Abigail, 1746
Zephaniah, 1747
Job, 1748
Keziah, 1750
Hope this information is of some help to you and your research.

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 Photoshop Touch for iPad review
Clean up pictures and mock up projects with this handy app
- Manufacturer: Adobe
- Pros: Innovative touch interface; familiar toolset; great for roughing out
- Cons: No layer masks; bitmapped type; size of images is limited
- Price: £6.99
- Star rating:
The Photoshop-for-tablets app is now available for the iPad, following its Android release late last year. It offers a raft of photo-editing features and the chance to play around with concepts for photo-based illustrations or graphics projects.
Photoshop Touch includes many familiar Photoshop features with a touch-controlled twist. If you apply a Curves adjustment, for example, you use your finger to drag the curve line to get the tonal range you want. As regards layers, you can alter opacity, merge a layer with the one below, flatten the image, or try the match colour feature, which recolours the current layer using what's on the layer below. Layers can be dragged up and down in the layer stack, and tapped to toggle visibility. The most common blending modes are available, too.
Other features include a few filters and basic tools such as a paintbrush, a clone stamp and a spot healing brush. One new tool is Scribble Selection, which extracts a subject from the background. Select the Keep or Remove option and paint over the area of the image that is to be the selection, and the tool does the rest.
While there is a lot to like about Photoshop Touch, there are some disappointments, such as the lack of layer masks or adjustment layers, and the fact that any type you add to an image is rasterised. In addition, the image size is limited to 1,600 x 1,600 pixels, and the app only works in landscape orientation.

Huge disappointment!
By helentom (2 reviews) , 11 Jun 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
My husband and I hadn't been so excited about seeing a film in years, as we had heard such great things about it from friends and critics.
It started promisingly, and there were some genuinely jumpy moments, but it quickly descended into a farcical, absurd joke of a film!
I tried to stay with it, and let a few silly moments go (such as the little ghost boy jiving and jumping out of the cupboard giggling), but the scene involving a psychic wearing a WWII-esque gas mask and the photos of the old lady getting closer, and closer.... hysterical! My husband actually had to walk out the back to collect himself as we were shaking with laughter.
Don't get me wrong, I genuinely wanted to be scared, and actually scare very easily! However, the art of subtlety was completely lost, and the ghostly characters were outrageously silly and badly styled. I'm sure I spotted Darth Maul and the whole cast of the Michael Jackson Thriller video in the final scenes!
Would only recommend for comedy entertainment purposes.- Was this review helpful to you?

Whatever happened to horror movies?
By AxeVictim (23 reviews) , 27 Sep 2013As someone who has a love of the 'horror movie genre' I looked forward to seeing Insidious. The movie Insidious 2 was currently showing at the movies and I was intending to go and see it today (just back). Hence the reason that I rented the first film....anyhoo it wasn't the worst film I had seen, but it was far from the best (that would be the Shining or the The Wolfman 1941 with Lon...but hey.. that's a personal thing). Glad I watched Insidious as it gave the movie I saw today more meaning. As for scares, or jumps, these are sparse in Insidious. No real depths to the characters, but the acting was quite good. Felt the director could really have made something of this film if he had only stopped and thought about it rather than using the same tired formula. Still it is worth a look, what have you got to lose?- Was this review helpful to you?

Great first half, absurd second half
By JafarIqbal (97 reviews) from London , 13 Sep 2013A family is seemingly haunted by spirits from another dimension, which leads to their young son going into a coma. The longer the boy remains comatose, the worse the haunting gets. A medium is brought to solve the issue, who discovers that the boys spirit is trapped in another dimension known as The Further. I havent watched very many horror movies at the cinema; mainly because there arent many top quality horrors out there now. But the pull of a double-bill, and the fact that this is made by the creator of the Saw franchise, dragged me here for this. And for about half of Insidious, I was pleased I made the decision to go. The first half of the movie is terrific. The characters and the haunted house is all set-up nicely. You have accomplished actors in Rose Byrne (as Renai) and Patrick Wilson (as Josh) at the helm, and pretty good child actors. Like all good horror movies, the chill factor is amped up. Creaking staircases, dark doorways, scary apparitions its all here, and its all very good. Ill be honest, I was a little scared. Theres something quite unnerving about watching a horror movie in a dark cinema, it certainly adds to the ambience. The second half, though, is ridiculous. As we start to understand what is going on, and what these apparitions are, the film starts to descend into absurdity. The monsters arent really that terrifying once we see them properly, and the story becomes far too mental for my liking. The best bit about the second half is the introduction of medium Elise (Lin Shaye), who is a breath of fresh air. Similarly, the characters Specs (Leigh Whannell, also the writer) and Tucker (Angus Sampson) bring some much-needed comedy to the proceedings. These three characters keep the film watchable, but doesnt stop it getting ridiculous. Insidious is definitely a game of two halves the setup is nice, the payoff not so much. However, there arent that many great American horror movies out there. So if were using its peers as a comparison, then the film is definitely one of the stronger offerings out there. If youre able to tolerate the absurdity of the second half, then I think youd enjoy the terror of the first.- Was this review helpful to you?

text: To speed up the Boxee interface it would be nice if the thumbnails for movie/tv covers were locally cached and not downloaded each time the movie/tv page is viewed. To be honest, sometimes Boxee does seem to cache them because they load very quickly, but most of the time it takes about 15-20 seconds to load thumbnails for about 20 TV shows. This makes browsing much slower because its harder to navigate to the title you want without a thumbnail of the cover. If Boxee already caches thumbnails then maybe its my computer or maybe its a bug, but it usually takes a (relatively) long time to download them. Thanks!

Our University, Our Future
Trine welcomes alumni 'home'
ANGOLA, Ind. – Trine University made another major step toward launching its next capital campaign, university officials announced at the school's 16th annual Touchstone Donor Recognition Dinner Sept. 29 in Ketner Sports Complex during the school's 2011 homecoming celebration.
In addition to many university supporters, three donors were honored for their recent, significant contributions, which totaled over $5 million. Bon Appetit Management Co. gifted $650,000 to the university. Two anonymous donors gave $1.5 million for music and performing arts and $3 million for capital projects and student scholarships.
"What a way to jumpstart a campaign. We went from $11 million to a little over $16 million to allow this institution to make another major step forward," said Trine University president Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D.
Also at the dinner, Brooks' wife, Melanie, was named the Woman of Distinction for 2011. Melanie Brooks is the co-founder and chair of the Trine University Black and White Scholarship Gala, which is headed into its ninth year and has raised nearly $1 million to support student scholarships. She has hosted alumni, donors, friends and employees and attended multiple alumni events.
Trustee and 1954 alumnus James Bock was awarded the university's Pillar of Success. Bock helped lead Trine's research into becoming a contributing part of innovative growth in the region. He and his wife, Joan, gifted $1 million to fund the building to launch Trine's biomedical program. In the very near future, the university will start work on the Jim and Joan Bock Center for Biomedical Engineering.
In addition, university trustee Louis D. Holtz made a guest appearance via video at the dinner. He thanked and encouraged donors from his Florida home. Holtz was not able to attend the dinner due to his commitments as a sports analyst at ESPN.
On Friday night, Tim Adams, MA '72 received the Outstanding Achievement Award, and John Anderson, BA '74, and Mathew Iacobelli, a 2009 management graduate, received Alumni Distinguished Service Awards during the Homecoming Awards Dinner.
Adams is a senior reliability engineer in NASA Kennedy Space Center's engineering and technology directorate and is recognized across NASA, as well as industry and academia, as an expert in the area of engineering assurance, with an emphasis on reliability and maintainability engineering.
Anderson co-founded W&A Distribution in 1990, after working for Schweiger Industries in Wisconsin for 11 years. He received the management achievement award from Fleet Owner magazine for being one of the first fleets to secure freight on a for-hire basis after governmental deregulation of the industry in 1980. He served as the chairman of the Fort Atkinson Vocational and Technical Scholarship Committee and also has been an active Lions Club member.
After graduation, Iacobelli went to work as a production supervisor at his family-owned and operated business, Sun-Brite Foods Inc. Even though he has been out of school only two years, he already has started a scholarship fund to help struggling students.
Col. George Higginson, BAD '63, received the university's surprise Distinguished Service Award. He and his wife, Ellie, started the Col. George and Ellie Higginson Scholarship Fund. By giving students opportunities to pursue higher education, he believes he is laying the groundwork for them to be happy and successful in life, in whatever they choose to do.
Amanda Portis Malefyt, ChE '04, and Jason Stechschulte, CE '03, were inducted into the university's Athletic Hall of Fame.
Malefyt set four university records and two Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference records in outdoor track. She was a six-time national qualifier and All-American in the 5000-meter and 10000-meter runs. She also was the NAIA 10000-meter national champion in 2003.
Her success was not limited to the track or cross country course. Portis was also named the university's chemical engineering student of the year for three consecutive years, maintaining almost a perfect 4.0 grade-point average. She also received the Cheryl Coons Scholar Athlete Award in 2004 and was named an Academic All-American and All-Conference.
While in school, Stechschulte was named a two-time All-American football player, a three-time All-Conference player and an Academic All-American senior. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and the American Society of Civil Engineers. He received the Robert L. Greim Most Outstanding Senior Male Athlete. He had 201 career tackles and broke the school and conference record with 19 career interceptions.
"Based on their accomplishments these are certainly two of these strongest candidates that we've had nominated and inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame," said athletic director Jeff Posendek.
In addition, alumnus Eric Watt, '10, received the Albert L. Deal Award from the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The award is named in honor of Albert L. Deal, who served as the MIAA commissioner from 1970-1990. It recognizes the top male graduating scholar athlete, based upon athletic accomplishments, academic achievement and community service. Watt currently is pursuing his interest of playing European football.
Watt's No. 13 also was permanently retired. His jersey will be on display in the Fred Zollner Athletic Stadium.
On Saturday, alumni and friends enjoyed a host of homecoming activities – from breakfast in Whitney Commons to the Tour de Trine tricycle race. Delta Chi fraternity and Zeta Theta Epsilon sorority both were awarded the President's Cup.

It's doujin music, but I just acquired this album. The show may not have official character songs in the capacity that I think of character songs in (they're more like special ending things), but these... these may be fanmade, but they're all really high quality, with lyrics and melodies that fit their characters.
This is only the second time that doujin music has had such a profound effect on me. (And if I didn't see the movies, I probably wouldn't have picked this up.) |

Does anybody know if there is an official Japanese title for 'And I'm home' (character song of Sayaka and Kyoko) or is it just in English?
I've tried looking at the wiki but the translation seems to come out of nowhere after "There will also be a limited edition CD being released simultaenously with the full version and the instrumental." The twitter link does not link to a tweet so I cannot see if they just pasted an except from the source. I don't know Japanese so that was deciphered using google translate.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is getting an Orchestra performance this April in Tokyo.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/inte...tokyo-in-april Why can't something great like this come to Canada, like the two movies that other places in the world get to watch except us (Canadians). None the less, I hope they'll upload videos of it really soon. It's going to sound pretty epic!

I started watching this on DVD and wow, the soundtrack is even better than I remember. And using "Mata Ashita" as the ending theme for the first two episodes kinda works. They should've just done that since the original broadcast version.

Cheryl Cole is being treated in a London hospital for malaria after collapsing during a photoshoot on Saturday afternoon for her new album. Originally thought to be suffering from exhaustion, doctors ordered her to get some rest. Cole's condition soon turned to worse with friends claiming her health dramatically deteriorated the next day and she began 'sweating and shaking' and she was rushed to the hospital after reportedly drifting in and out of consciousness.
Per Examiner:
"On Sunday evening her condition deteriorated so rapidly she knew it was something serious. She'd spent 48 hours in bed trying to sleep off what she thought was a stomach bug. She was extremely weak, sweating and drifting in and out of consciousness. She was driven to hospital where tests showed malaria."
Friends said Cole and her doctors believe she had contracted the illness after being bitten by a mosquito during a brief vacation to Tanzania last month with boyfriend Derek Hough. She had been taking malaria tablets but reportedly told doctors she had been suffering with "stomach pains" since returning. Hough is reportedly by her side and is said to be "mortified by what's happened."
Per mirror.co.uk:
"He's mortified by what's happened and is utterly devastated at what she's going through – not least because it happened on a trip he'd planned. He will always be there for her and his presence has cheered her up no end. It's the exact tonic she needs to get through this. She really is quite poorly but at least the results came back quickly so the doctors can focus on giving her the right treatment. He is worried sick about her. He's sticking close by her bedside and trying to keep her cheerful. He's probably the best tonic she's got right now."
Cole is expected to remain in hospital for treatment over the next few days and will likely have to take a few weeks off work to recover. Poor girl has had a horrible year! Get well soon Cheryl!

Lenoir-Rhyne Blasts Three Home Runs To Top Lincoln Memorial University 8-5 In Food Lion SAC Tournament
April 20, 2011
Courtesy of the South Atlantic Conference
JEFFERSON CITY, TN -- Top-seeded Lenoir-Rhyne scored five runs on three home runs in the second inning en route to an 8-5 victory over eighth-seeded Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday in the opening round of the 2011 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament at the Lady Eagle Softball Complex.
With the win, Lenoir-Rhyne advances to face fifth-seeded Wingate on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. at the Lady Eagle Softball Complex. Lincoln Memorial will play fourth-seeded Tusculum in an elimination game at 11:30 a.m. at Walters State Community College in Morristown, Tenn.
The Bears, who are ranked eighth nationally, got off to a fast start, as freshman Haily Jarman (Wadesboro, N.C.) delivered a RBI double in the first to give Lenoir-Rhyne a 1-0 lead.
Lenoir-Rhyne seemed to take control of the contest in the second by erupting for five runs on three home runs, including back-to-back solo blasts by junior Sarah Atkins (Newport News, Va.) and senior Brandi Haithcock (Snow Camp, N.C.) and a three-run shot by senior Kat Rivers (Royston, Ga.).
However, the Lady Railsplitters began to chip away in the third. After Taylor McGinnis (Powell, Tenn.) drew a two-out walk, Bridget Eicher (Hicksville, Ohio) smashed a two-run home run to left center to trim the Bears' lead to 6-2.
Lenoir-Rhyne pushed its lead to 7-2 in the home half of the third on a RBI single by Megan Laxton (Taylorsville, N.C.), but the Lady Railsplitters responded with three more runs in the fourth, as Meg Ryan (Hendersonville, Tenn.) produced a run-scoring single and Jackie Adams (Columbus, Ohio) delivered a two-run single to cut Lenoir-Rhyne's lead to 7-5.
The Bears added an insurance run in the fifth on a RBI double by Haithcock that gave Lenoir-Rhyne an 8-5 advantage.
Lincoln Memorial threatened in the seventh inning by loading the bases with one out, but Laxton was able to retire the final two batters to seal the win and earn her third save of the season.
Each team finished with 10 hits in the contest. Atkins and Haithcock tallied two hits apiece to lead the Bears, while Rivers finished with a home run and three RBIs.
Ryan, Adams and Sarah Walz (Innisfail, Alberta) collected two hits each for the Lady Railsplitters, while Eicher finished with a home run and two RBIs. Adams also had two RBIs in the win.
Lenoir-Rhyne starting pitcher Dawon Millwood (Hixson, Tenn.) earned the win to improve to 22-4 on the season. Millwood gave up five runs and seven hits and had two strikeouts in three innings of work.
LMU starting hurler Katie-Jo Gentry (Calhoun, Ga.) was tagged with the loss. Gentry (9-14) gave up eight runs on nine hits and had two strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings in the circle.

Kasandra Michelle Perkins: We Must Say Her Name
By Guest Contributor David J. Leonard, cross-posted from The Feminist Wire
In the aftermath of the tragic murder of Kasandra Michelle Perkins, and the subsequent suicide of Jovan Belcher, much of the media and social media chatter have focused on Belcher. Indeed, Kasandra Michelle Perkins has been an afterthought in public conversations focused on questions regarding the Chiefs' ability to play, concussions, masculinity, guns, and the culture of football in the aftermath of this tragedy. Over at the always brilliant Crunk Feminist Collective website, one member described the situation in sobering terms:
Headlines and news stories have focused on the tragedy from the lens of the perpetrator (including speculation of potential brain trauma, his involvement, as an undergraduate, in a Male Athletes Against Violence initiative, and his standing as an allstar athlete), in some ways dismissing or overshadowing the lens of the victim, who in headlines is simply referred to as "(his) girlfriend."
Mike Lupica, at the NY Daily News, offered a similar criticism about our focus and misplaced priorities:
That is why the real tragedy here — the real victim — is a young woman named Kasandra Michelle Perkins, whom Belcher shot and killed before he ever parked his car at the Chiefs' practice facility and put that gun to his head.
She was 22 and the mother of Belcher's child, a child who is 3 months old, a child who will grow up in a world without parents. At about 10 minutes to 8, according to Kansas City police, Jovan Belcher put a gun on the mother of his child in a house on the 5400 block of Chrysler Ave. in Kansas City and started shooting and kept shooting. You want to mourn somebody? Start with her.
Kasandra Michelle Perkins.
While disheartening and indefensible, I get the turn towards concussions, guns, and the masculinity of sporting cultures. The murder-suicide shines a spotlight on a number of issues that many have been grappling with for many years. It encapsulates people's discomfort about a culture that condones on-the-field violence that may contribute to so much pain off-the-field. It highlights society's moral failures whereupon profits are put in front of people. There will be a time for these conversations, but for now the spotlight needs to be on Kasandra Michelle Perkins.
Upon hearing about this tragic murder of Kasandra Michelle Perkins, I too turn my attention to these issues; I am guilty of this failure, having tweeted about concussions, suicide, and the culture of the NFL. These issues are real–but so is the tragic death of Kasandra Michelle Perkins.
Kasandra Michelle Perkins cannot be a footnote. She cannot be an afterthought.
While there are clearly issues specific to football—impact of concusions, the culture of hyper masculinity, mental health—we cannot lose focus on Kasandra Michelle Perkins. Her life is no less precious just because she didn't play linebacker; her life is no less important because she didn't have teammates (although her family and friends are her teammates) grieving. Her story is no less important because we live in a culture that privileges football and celebrity over the daily tragedies of violence.
Kasandra Michelle Perkins: let's remember her name.
Her murder is a startling and sobering reminder about the all-too common tragedy of domestic/intimate partner murders. "Each year thousands of black women are shot, stabbed, stalked, and brutalized in crimes that never make it on the national radar. Black women experience intimate partner violence at a rate of 35% higher than do white women," writes Sikivu Hutchinson. "Intimate partner violence is a leading cause of death for black women, yet they are seldom viewed as proper victims and are rarely cast as total innocents."
The failure to value all lives equally, to scream to demand justice, embodies American racism and sexism. Hutchinson makes this clear in another brilliant piece:
Plastered on websites like AOL, relentlessly rammed down our collective throats in titillating morsels with whiffs of sexuality and scandal, poster child Caylee Anderson and company are a metaphor for Middle America's Little Red Riding Hood fetishization of white femininity. Tabloid narratives of imperiled white females highlight the suburban virtues of white Middle America and not so subtlety evoke the social pathologies of the so-called inner city. Indeed, the spectacles of grief, mourning, and community outrage trotted out on CNN and FOX not only program viewers to identify with the injustice that has been done to the victim and her family, but to her community. In the world of 24-7 media these victims become our girls, our daughters, while the "bitches" and "hos" of the inner city symbolize the disorder and ungovernableness of an urban America whose values must be kept at bay.
The media erasure–particularly of the lost lives of women of color–is a root problem. It points to a systemic failure. The consequences are grave and mortifying. The ubiquity here is haunting; the devastation is disheartening; and our collective silence, paralysis, and acceptance are shameful.
- Close to 70% of women killed by a gun were murdered by the hand of an intimate partner
- More than three women are murdered every day by a husband or domestic partner
- 40-50% of female murder victims fall into the category of domestic/partner murder (this includes former partners)
- Three times as many women are killed by husband or intimate acquaintance as are killed by strangers using guns, knives or other weapons combined
As noted on "What About Our Daughters,"
According to the CDC, black women have a maternal homicide risk about seven times that of white women. Black women ages 25-29 are about 11 times more likely as white women in that age group to be murdered while pregnant or in the year after childbirth.
Kasandra Michelle Perkins is not a statistic, but her murder is part of a larger story. The same is true for Cicely Bolden. She was murdered by the man she was dating; he killed her after he learned that she was HIV-positive. #Kasandra Michelle Perkins #Cicely Bolden. Let's not forget Meghann Pope. She and her baby (she was 4 months pregnant) died after her boyfriend ran her over with his truck. # Arlet Hernandez Contreras; #Ericka Peters; # Rasheedah Blunt; # Jasmine Nichelle Moss; #Dawn Viens; #Yeardley Love; #Nancy Benoit; #Cherica Adams; #Aena Hong.
It is crucial to continue to say Kasandra Michelle Perkins' name. To look at her face; to ingrain her image into our heads. We must continue to think about not the last minutes of her life, but the totality of her life.
Kasandra Michelle Perkins.
It is crucial to say all of these names. It is crucial to hear the plea from Kasandra Michelle Perkins' friend, who reminded us all, "I don't want her to get overshadowed by who he was. I know he was a Chiefs player and a lot of people know him, but she deserves recognition, too."
Each time we say her name we remember her life and her tragic murder. Each time we say Kasandra Michelle Perkins, we remember her 4-month-old daughter who lost her mom and her dad on December 2, 2012. Each time we say her name we push back at the privileging of celebrity-life over her death. Each time we say her name we are hopefully reminded of the ubiquity of domestic/partner murder. Each time we say her name we refuse the silence and erasure of domestic violence and intimate partner murder, particularly when the victims are women of color. Each time we say her name we refuse the racism and sexism that obscures the humanity of those lives lost. We challenge the discomfort that compels silence and erasure.
I heed the words from the Crunk Feminist Collective:
I wrote this piece to adjust the focus away from the famous athlete who "snapped," and to put it on the true innocent in the case. I wrote this piece as a clarion call to remember Kasandra by her name and not by her relationship. I wrote this piece so that we don't forget that victims may fall into statistics but they have names! I wrote this piece as a reminder that Kasandra (and Cherica) existed before their relationships with men who did not value their lives. I wrote this piece as a reminder that when a tragedy like this happens, it is not the perpetrator's name we should remember, but the victim's.
Each time we say Kasandra Michelle Perkins we remember a life lost; we remember a 22-year woman brutally murdered in her home; we remember a mother who will never get to hold her daughter again. We remember Kasandra Michelle Perkins.
Say her name!
STaylor in Austin
I was also disburbed by the focus on the killer and not the victim
You can bet your last dollar on the fact that if Kasandra Perkins was a White woman killed by her black boyfriend all you'd hear about is what a tragedy her death was and what a monster Belcher was. And the racist trolls would come out of the woodwork with Nancy Grace leading the way spending hour upon hour of cable and network TV talking about this horrible tragedy.
Kasandra was black and sadly almost no one cares about her -
I'd like to add Luv Catera Land, to the list of names mentioned above. My friend's cousin was murdered by her boyfriend in Sacramento this past September. She was 28 years old.
Thanks for writing this…in a similar vein, earlier in the week I was watching Around the Horn on Sportscenter and while the three white male talking heads talked about general tragedy and concussions in the NFL, I appreciated that Jemele Hill reference violence against women as an issue that needs to be tied into this commentary. I couldn't hear the show too well so I don't know (but I doubt) that she really went in on the harrowing presence of domestic violence among pro athletes, but again, I appreciated it even though had she not been on the show, the topic would have never been breached. All the more reason to want more WOC in sports media!
http://snikkissay.blogspot.com/ SnikkiG
This post speaks to me on so many different levels. This summer, I found out that a girl I knew in middle school was killed by her intimate partner earlier in the year. A few weeks later, after I had gathered the nerve to actually look, I googled her name and had to read about how her boyfriend and the father of her child had strangled her and left her in their apartment. Instead of catching up with her on Facebook like I do with many other friends from that time in my life, I had to read about how she was living and died in a place where almost no one knew her. Please remember Jazmon Hoskins when you remember Kasandra Perkins and all of the other women, mother, daughter, sisters who were killed by intimate partners.

MANATEE COUNTY —Sharon Barhost reached into her day planner and pulled out a photograph she looks at every day — a picture of herself and a boy named Kelby, whom she mentors through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
"He makes me smile," she said.
The mentoring program has made a huge difference in the child's life and Barhost's, too, but she hopes it can impact many more youth.
This weekend, East County residents can ride for that cause during the Bicycle Poker Ride. The event, organized by Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast and Lakewood Ranch Community Activities, will start at 9 a.m., Oct. 3, at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center. Registration will last from 7:30-9 a.m. Cost is $25 per rider or $40 for a family of two adults and up to five children.
To accommodate all skill levels, the ride is broken into three categories: expert, experienced and family. The expert mile is 40 miles long, while the experienced ride is 30. The family ride has options for a 10- or 16-mile route.
Bicyclists will stop at six local businesses, picking up a playing card at each, and use the cards collected to form the best poker hand possible.
At the end of the ride, the adult with the best hand will win a one-hour sightseeing flight over the Sarasota/Bradenton area for up to seven people, courtesy of Dolphin Aviation. The child winner will get a gift certificate to Toys "R" Us. Additionally, each participant will be entered into a raffle give away, which will offer prizes such as gift cards to restaurants and a day at the salon.
In addition to raising money for Big Brothers Big Sisters, organizers also hope the event will create awareness for the organization and recruit volunteers to mentor children.
Barhorst said the organization has been getting numerous requests for services in the East County recently and is preparing to start a mentoring program called "Decisions to Win" at Lakewood Ranch High School.
"It's a win, win," Barhorst said of the ride. "It couldn't be better timing (for the ride)."
The bicycle poker ride is part of the Embrace a Life of Health & Wellness Expo, which is being hosted by Lakewood Ranch Community Activities from 9 a.m. to noon, Oct. 3 in the lobby and front entrance of Lakewood Ranch Medical Center.
