I believe that this is because I need to run change_password plugin in squirrelmail. It is not a problem in fc4 selinux -- I run audit2allow to add entry into local.te and run make load, then everything is working. But, in fc5, it is a problem. If I remove that line, then whenever I run the above command, it is automatically added. How to fix the problem?
If this is not causing a problem for squirrelmail, how about dontaudit httpd_t shadow_t:file { getattr read write };Also you can create more than one pp file. So you could create local1.pp and local2.pp ...
You should always edit make sure you only have the rules in your pp file that you want.
If these are legitimate problems with policy or some package, are you submitting bugzillas?

The accidental holiday
Matt Bowen heads to the Bay of Plenty and has a good time, eventually.
Life was good. It was a warm Sunday afternoon, the sky was blue and we were eating the most delicious fruit ice cream after a journey to the heart of New Zealand's most active volcano.
Strange to think the weekend in Whakatane started with anxiety, redundancy and negative feelings.
Although omens aren't something I buy into, my first junket had seemed sure to fall through my fingers like the ashen sands that clothe this sun-blessed piece of the eastern Bay of Plenty coastline.
The pitch was simple: go for a weekend of free accommodation and activities and write a story based on your experience.
Why not? I thought.
My contact at Whakatane District Council was initially helpful, but unbeknown to me, she was going through a "restructuring" process.
She seemed preoccupied. And the week of the trip she called to apologise for her preoccupation - her job had been "disestablished" and she was redundant.
Nothing had been booked except accommodation at Thornton Beach Holiday Park, which was a 10-minute drive from Whakatane. We were left, instead, in the hands of its owner, Dave Edwards.
Darkness was falling as we parked outside his office on Friday night, following a week of work and a 2 -hour drive.
Mr Edwards gave us a key, an entry swipe card and said he had some activities in mind to keep us occupied.
Perhaps that creeping anxiety was misplaced and the trip would turn out OK.
We moved into Tourist Flat Two. We opened beer, wine and laughed at a classic 7 Days episode on the flat-screen TV.
Next morning, the sun was shining. You could smell the ocean and see a wisp of cloud capping Whale Island from the doorway.
We walked barefoot along the empty surf beach out front.
After a shower, Mr Edwards offered to take us on an afternoon fishing jaunt, (involving a boat ride up the river) and pointed us to Kawerau's Tarawera Falls, an hour's drive inland.
My typing fingers turned cold. Although Mr Edwards was a friendly host and his offer genuine, I hadn't signed up for an intimate weekend away with him or a trip to Kawerau.
Anxiety set in. Thoughts of flushing the whole shambolic mess down the toilet flashed across my mind.
Then The Sage said: "Let's just go to a cafe, have breakfast, and think about it."
Deep breath . . . OK.
At Fig cafe on the town's main street, over a middle-of-the-road spread of pesto pile up, eggs benedict, a long black and a trim flat white, we plotted a salvage mission. After all, we had cards to play.
Like all lost tourists, our mission started at the information centre.
Staff said the must-do and most popular attraction was Pee Jay's White Island Tours. After an explanation of our situation, Pee Jay staff offered to host us the following day.
Things were looking up.
To burn off breakfast and fill what remained of Saturday, we opted to trek the Footprints of Toi walkway. Trekked is probably an exaggeration. We went with two middle-aged women and two 12-year-old girls, and while it was a bit up and down and sweaty in parts, the 3 -hour journey was manageable for everyone.
Information centre and Pee Jay staff had raved about it; evidently, they were far from mad. Nga Tapuwae o Toi Walkways, as they are officially known, cover a 16-kilometre loop and claim to capture the essence of the district.
We parked on Seaview Road, a short drive from town, and set off around the Kohi Point section of the track toward Ohope.
After passing Kapu-te-rangi pa - one of New Zealand's oldest known pa sites - the views began.
Initially, they were obscured with branches and leaves, but as the track wound farther along the cliff, the regenerating bush faded into low scrub and expansive views. To the west you could see the cone of Mt Edgecumbe and behind it the distant plateau of Mt Tarawera. Below was Whakatane, wedged snugly between the blue-green river and the bush-clad cliff. Look north and the beach disappeared into the salt haze toward Tauranga. At sea was Whale Island and in the distance, White Island sat puffing out its constant plume.
We walked on.
After two hours on-trail, we clambered down wooden steps into Otarawairere Bay and an almost deserted white sand beach. It was one of those classic semi-sheltered east coast beaches with native bush, streams and driftwood at your back; in front was sand, sea and the horizon - there wasn't a house in sight.
Over the hill at Ohope's West End, it felt like summer. Surfers were scrambling in the friendly waves. A couple fished and gulls circled. John and Chris Versey, from Napier, were on the sand, too, trying to keep their $10 rainbow kite flying in the soft sea breeze. To keep the girls smiling, we aimed for Pohutukawa Avenue and ice cream.
Later that afternoon and a few kilometres down the coast, I dived into the tide off Ohiwa Harbour's wharf to wash the dried sweat away. The water was crisp and refreshing. Swimming to the ladder and climbing the rungs, the experience reminded me of summers growing up in the Far North, where our world revolved around the ocean. It seemed this was that kind of place.
Sunday morning, and there wasn't a wisp of cloud capping Whale Island, just crisp blue above. Farther out was our destination: White Island. We checked out, signed in at Pee Jay's and were soon motoring seaward in a luxury launch full of tourists and tour guides. It took an hour and a half of staring at the volcano's ever growing cone before we pulled into Crater Bay and got a closer look. Steam was billowing from the volcano's mouth about 500 metres away. A typical, albeit daunting, sight. Tourists fastened their helmets; I gripped my gas mask.
Safety was a priority for the guides. After all, the place could blow at any time. The most recent eruption was in August and Tongariro had just flipped its lid again. There were two guides for every 10-12 tourists. We had James Cory, who was learning the ropes, and the more experienced Matt Adamson.
Mr Cory ran us through the safety spiel on shore. We paid close attention.
"There are two ways to use a gas mask," he said.
"Hold it up to your nose, press the nose piece and take some breaths. Or, pull the nose strap up and over your helmet and it stays on.
"In the unlikely event of an eruption . . .", gulp, "we need to put our gas masks on and seek shelter behind rocks or the [mining] ruins and after it stops, Matt and I will come around and get everyone together."
Perhaps piece by piece, I thought.
During the last major eruptive period, in 2000, the volcano was throwing rocks - ranging from grenade size to "very large" - up to 150 metres high.
This being an andesite volcano, an eruption would be extremely aggressive and violent - rocks would fly in all directions at high speed.
Mr Cory continued. "If there's a landslide, we need to move to the left or right of it and seek shelter."
We would later learn that 10 sulphur miners didn't get that chance while living on the crater valley floor in September of 1914. While they were sleeping, part of the western crater rim collapsed and tore through their campsite.
Eight days later a rescue team arrived. They dug holes and trenches but found no sign of the miners or their lodgings. Only Peter the camp cat survived.
So with the safety brief done, we set off up the crater's southern wall.
A few steps later and it felt like we were walking on a different planet. We wound through mounds of scraggy pink rock and sulphur-encrusted domes beneath the crater rim.
The pretty domes were actually nasty. Mr Adamson said if you stood on one, you would fall through the crust and find yourself knee deep in hot mud and gas of up to 110 degrees Celsius.
We stopped now and then to hear about crater floor deformation, gas emission testing and hazards.
It was at one of these stops, at a fumarole, that we tasted gas.
Mr Adamson had warned us. "When you get up there, if the steam was to change direction and come straight on to you, please do not panic. Put your gas mask on and it will pass as quickly as it arrives."
We walked toward the bright yellow vent and, person by person, the coughing began.
Then it was my turn.
The involuntary coughing fit was impossible to avoid. I could only cough; I couldn't breathe.
Panic rose. Stop, remember the gas mask. Put it to your nose, squeeze, and breathe. The mixture of carbon dioxide, acid and sulphur dioxide wasn't harmful, apparently, but highly irritating.
Yet Mr Adamson was used to it and continued to regale us with facts and stories.
After half an hour, our group stepped on to a lip overlooking an awesome, hellish stadium that stretched 400 metres across. Three metres below was the 1976 to 1990s crater complex.
Everyone stared, awestruck.
Only Mr Adamson spoke - it was just another day at work for him.
"The lake has changed colour many times," he said.
"It has been aqua blue, maroon red, dull green and bright highlighter green.
"On the pH scale - at the extreme ends, zero is acid and 14 alkaline - the lake has constant negative readings. It's tough to get them, but the last recorded reading was -0.5. It's estimated to be 50 times stronger than battery acid - definitely not the place for a swim."
It was humbling standing there. It reminded me of staring into the stars from an isolated hilltop on a clear night. I felt insignificant, like a momentary blip of life. My problems, minute.
We walked on and the day blew by: the mining ruins, diving off the launch, the words, the faces - lunch.
It seemed mere moments before we had ice creams in hand under the afternoon sunshine at Blueberry Corner, thinking, life is pretty damn good.

To this point, the most exposure Nevada voters have had to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican rival in the U.S. Senate race, Sharron Angle, has been through attack ads.
But what of the other ways they are seeking to connect with voters? In an attempt to chart the ground movements of the leading candidates in one of the nation's most closely watched races, the Las Vegas Sun requested the complete August campaign schedules of Reid and Angle.
Neither candidate provided a detailed account of time on the trail. What they did reveal showed both sticking primarily to small-venue events and targeting their bases rather than attempting to reach wider audiences.
Reid rallied Democratic volunteers at canvassing kickoffs and spoke with Democratic constituencies such as gay and lesbian organizations, Hispanic voters and liberal activists. Angle spoke at Tea Party rallies and conservative country concerts and to rural business leaders.
Reid is battling the voter malaise that has settled into the Democratic ranks since the Obama wave in 2008 has fallen short of delivering an economic turnaround. And Angle has had to raise her profile among Republicans after her surprise victory in June's GOP primary.
"They will be shoring up the base until Election Day," said Fred Lokken, a political scientist at Truckee Meadows Community College. "They cannot afford to lose anybody. On both sides there are weak spots in the base."
Reid's campaign declined to release details of his fundraising schedule. Reid has said he will raise $25 million to fuel his re-election bid. The campaign also declined to say when Reid traveled out of state and for what purpose.
"It's just not something we do," Reid spokesman Jon Summers said when asked why the campaign wouldn't disclose the candidate's entire schedule. "I think we've given you a pretty good look at how he spent his time here."
The Reid campaign repeatedly has refused to provide advance notice of his appearances, saying that for security reasons it publicizes events only a day or so before they happen.
But it's also strategic. "We're also not going to share his entire schedule for the Angle campaign to analyze and figure out what our strategy is," Summers said.
Angle's campaign hasn't exactly been forthcoming, either. At the start it listed a month's worth of her scheduled appearances on her website. Now, it features just one or two events at a time.
In the schedule provided to the Sun, Angle's campaign listed the dates of her fundraisers, but didn't release the names of the hosts, or detail with whom she attended "meet and greets." Angle spokesman Jarrod Agen said those events were "private."
Reid made full use of the August recess, packing the month full of tightly targeted campaign events. He visited work sites, met with business leaders, ate tacos in Pahrump and gave keynote speeches at graduations and energy forums. He also worked to beef up his Second Amendment cred by attending a sportsmen's clay shoot in Reno and touting local law enforcement endorsements.
Reid attended a Nevada event nearly every day in August. His campaign said "he only spent a handful of days out of state."
Angle also kept up a busy pace. But being in the thick of an aggressive fundraising sweep, she spent nearly one-third of her time outside Nevada. She gave speeches, attended fundraisers and headlined rallies in Colorado, Illinois, Texas and California.
And she made considerable time for conservative talk show hosts, including Lou Dobbs and Roger Hedgecock.
Angle also engaged in her franchise campaign tactic — precinct walking. With clipboard in hand, Angle has built much of her political career by talking to voters one-on-one on their doorsteps.
Both candidates spent relatively little time in rural Nevada. Reid made a trip to Mesquite and one to Pahrump. Angle visited Eureka, Elko and Ely.
Both held three times the number of events in Southern Nevada as in Northern Nevada.
Having spent the summer shoring up their bases, both campaigns likely will shift to identifying and persuading the small number of undecided voters left.
"In terms of the race, both campaigns are playing it a little safe," Lokken said. "Both are heavily scripted because it's so close. Honestly, I'm waiting to see what either candidate is going to do to try and move that 5 percent undecided."
Angle's strategy for finding those undecided voters will be to target voters who don't typically make it to the polls in nonpresidential elections, Agen said.
Reid's campaign refused to provide any insight into the schedule it is developing for Reid when he returns to the state in October.

Froehlich, one of the true pioneers and leaders of the photographic industry
in the 20th century. He died peacefully on January 24th at the age of 85.
Born Hans Froehlich, August 7, 1922, in the town of Rottweil, Germany, his memoirs indicate that he grew up in a loving family in a picturesque setting. Germany, however, was in economic chaos after the war, and at the age of 5 he learned his first big lesson in business and writes: "My own child bank account, which I proudly kept track of in a diary, had several hundred marks on deposit. When I found out that this would not even buy an ice cream cone, I knew my first economic lesson--I was wiped out."
Life in Nazi Germany became increasingly difficult for Jewish families. In '37 the Froehlichs moved to Stuttgart where there was a more sizeable Jewish community. Trying to make a living as a teen-ager, he worked as a retail assistant in his father's shoe store, then as a paper hanger in the summer, and a mattress maker in the winter. He writes "And then it happened. My boss told me one morning that he could not continue with me as an apprentice as he received jobs which required his certifying that he had no Jewish employees. It was either keeping me on and lose jobs, or let me go, and stay in business."
During "Kristallnacht," Froehlich's father was taken away to a concentration camp. He writes that "I rode my Yellow Bicycle to travel all over and warn Jewish men to get away from their homes as fast as possible." His family was separated and never completely reunited again.
In '40 he was allowed to leave Germany with 10 DM, the equivalent of $4 and was able to enter the US. "I had exactly 38 cents in US currency left, after having spent some of the $4 getting to Italy and some on the ship."
Although he planned to become a writer, and even brought his Alder typewriter from Germany, things didn't turn out that way, especially after he realized it would take him some time to learn to speak, read, and write English. He also brought along "my little Agfa camera and some film."
After some time, Froehlich was able to join up with his mother and brother Max in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he held a number of jobs, often at the same time in order to make ends meet.
He took his first job in the photo business with a company called Landes Brothers who manufactured "bank lights" where he worked as an assembler. As he states in his memoirs, "somewhere along the way, I started an import/export business." Froehlich was among the first to recognize the potential in photographic products made in Japan. He concentrated his efforts on Japanese companies that had good quality products but lacked US representation. The rest is history.
Froehlich founded Konica Camera Company in Philadelphia in '51, having previously acquired the sole US distribution rights for Konica cameras from Konishiroku Photo Industry Company, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan.
As one of the pioneers who introduced Japanese-quality cameras into the US after World War II, he participated actively in the Japanese Camera Inspection Institute's US "Japanese Camera Center" to conduct industry-wide promotions and create consumer acceptance for Japanese cameras.
He was subsequently elected to membership in the Pioneer Club in Japan, an honor bestowed on a few leading Japanese camera industry leaders and only 10 foreigners.
He merged Konica Camera Company with Berkey Photo in '62 which then also marketed other Japanese photographic products. He went on to become president of Berkey Photo, a position he held until '82.
As his next business venture, he founded the Froehlich FotoVideo Corporation. There he pioneered the concept of film-to-tape transfer, and developed unitized equipment systems which could perform this service within the retail environment of camera stores and minilabs.
In '87, when the exclusive distribution rights for Mamiya medium format cameras and Toyo large format cameras became available he formed a partnership with Paul Klingenstein and Jan Lederman to establish a new company called Mamiya America Corporation (MAC). Within the next few years they made these products the market leaders in their respective fields.
At its '88 convention, PMAI (Photo Marketing Association International) presented Froehlich with its Distinguished Service Award.
His interest in photography was not only business, but was on a deeply personal level as well. He formed many long-term relationships with retailers, photographers, and other industry members, some of who became close personal friends. From its inception, he was an advocate of the International Center of Photography because he believed it its principles. He became involved in their activities and was a member of its President's Council.
As the years went by, the name of the MAC company was modified to MAC Group, and more lines were added to its product offering, such as Prototo, Leaf, Sekonic, PocketWizard, X-Rite, Eizo, Pantone, Multicart, Tenba, and Induro. In each case, Froehlich assisted these brands in improving their market position.
Froehlich's vision never wavered: "Our mission is to supply professional photographers and the educational community with the tools they need to create an image." That, and his credo to "under promise, and over deliver" serves, to this day, as a model for his associates to follow.
In 2006 Froehlich retired as Chairman of the Board of the MAC Group.
He will be remembered for his philanthropic efforts on behalf of numerous organizations including The Blue Card, whose purpose is to provide financial assistance to needy Holocaust survivors, as well as the award-winning Theater by the Blind.
He is predeceased by his brothers Albert and Max.
He is survived by Marian Froehlich, his wife of 57 years, his son Peter Froehlich, daughter Carol Froehlich-Hull, grandchildren Lindsey, Max, and Sarah, and great-granddaughter Alexandra.
A Note From The Editor
It has been a sad month for those of us in this business with the passing of two giants of the photographic industry, first Burt Keppler and now Henry Froehlich. His story is all the more moving because of the adversity he faced and the spirit with which he lived his life. Henry was, for many of us, both a friend and a mentor, a person who always came at problems with a very positive attitude. His business acumen and personal presence was one that always made you a smarter and better person. He reinforced the good in everyone he knew and had a perspective that was both admirable and uplifting. I, and the entire staff of Shutterbug, mourn the loss of this wonderful man. He was both wise and a gentleman in everything he did, and he will be in our thoughts, and help guide our own actions, in the years ahead.

Frightened Rabbit
Pedestrian Verse
As Scott Hutchinson tells it at Clash Music, the phrase "pedestrian verse" was written on the front of the notebook that held the lyrics to his band's latest album as a kind of totem to ward off the evil spirits of lazy songwriting. This is probably a case of neurotic vigilance: if you've already managed to transpose "bad lyrics" into "pedestrian verse," it's not likely you're writing a lot of them, and Frightened Rabbit's output up to this point bears that out. Yes, the band has been known to tread in a lot of familiarly sad waters — if Scotland isn't currently surrounded by the Sea of Male Melancholy, it's only for lack of cartographic imagination — but they're at least doing it with the grace of synchronized swimmers.
Still, Hutchinson's amulet has done its trick: Pedestrian Verse is far ahead of work that's been fairly impressive even to now. Lyrically, it seems less an album than a Jonathan Franzen novel, where every narrative choice, every descriptive line, spirals up to cling to bigger and deeper things. We don't have to look much beyond the song the album's title appears in, State Hospital, a broken biography of a woman wheeling under forces well beyond her control: how about the description of her childhood, "Brought home to breathe smoke in arms of her mother with a blunt kitchen knife / Who just lays in a submissive position / beneath the national weight and the slow arc of a fist"? The entire mood of the song, and the whole panoramic scene of this girl's life, is laid out in three lines.
These are epic songs, built from the vibrations in your own bones, amped up so the rest of the world can hear
Better still might be Acts of Man, which begins (as does the entire album) with the line, "I am that dickhead in the kitchen," building up brick after reprehensible brick up terrible human behaviour before getting blown over by its final verse, "I am just like all the rest of them / Sorry, selfish, trying to improve / I'm here, I'm here, not heroic but I try." Unless there's some German word for turning the shittiness of the human experience into an expression of love, Acts of Man has to stand as the most succinct example we have of it.
Staring unblinkingly into the void of humanity and opening your arms to it is roughly the project of the whole album. It's a case of Hutchinson using what seems like a naturally pessimistic outlook to its most humanist ends, of facing the messy and ugly bits of our nature and recognizing that it's all part of our nature. This is boiled down pretty well in Nitrous Gas, probably the best song here, a slow march through sparse, primevil forest that ends by stumbling into a sunlight glade. Among lines like, "Leave the acute warm heartedness / Go where the joyless bastard is / He's dying to bring you down with him," Hutchinson repeats the phrase, "If happiness won't come to me / Hand me the nitrous gas." By the song's end, though, that phrase is turned on its head, and the idea that sadness is its own dreary escape lingers after the last notes.
The mood of Pedestrian Verse's verses has a way of overwhelming the music, although I think it's a tribute to say that the band fully realizes the lyrics here, never overwhelming, but building up platforms so that Hutchinson's lyrics can carry further. These are epic songs, though not the kind that go soaring over your head: its like they're built from the vibrations in your own bones, amped up so the rest of the world can hear.

MORAGA, Calif. -- In a match that lasted over five hours and saw two teams battling to the very end, the Saint Mary's men's tennis team suffered a tough 4-3 defeat at the hands of visiting Pacific on Sunday.
Saint Mary's (2-4) earned the first point of the day with wins at No. 2 and 3 doubles.
Seif El Sherbini and Thomas Hunt paired at No. 3 to earn a 8-4 win, getting the day started right. Shortly thereafter, Tuomas Manner and Samuel Bloore scored an 8-6 win over Ben Mirkin and Denis Stolyarov, giving the Gaels the opening point.
Pacific took the lead quickly once singles began. Wins at No. 5, 6 and 3 singles put the Tigers up 3-1 with three matches still on court.
The Gaels wouldn't go away quietly. El Sherbini pulled out a big win at No. 4 singles, defeating Alex Hamilton 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 to get SMC a bit closer.
Next to score was Jesse Kiuru at No. 1 singles. In another intense three-set affair, Kiuru rallied from a set down to defeat Alex Golding 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.
That left Manner and Sem Verbeek on court two to determine a winner. Manner got off to a good start, winning the first set 6-3.
Verbeek rallied, taking the second set 6-4. The battle continued into the third set, and needed a tiebreaker to decide the match. Verbeek emerged the winner, taking the tiebreak 7-4 to win the third set 7-6 and give Pacific the victory.
"It was a bellweather match for us because they have some good results," Saint Mary's coach Michael Wayman said. "I thought it could have gone 4-3 either way."
Saint Mary's returns to the court next Sunday when it hosts UC Davis at noon.

Well no more. This year, thanks to the magic of Twitter and my ability to read a calendar reminder, I am finally on top of things. Pairing a my newfound enthusiasm for pen and ink drawing with a surprisingly difficult-to-honor commitment to draw every day, I've managed to carve out some time to work on my concept of the Happy Hour Superhero, submitted to PBRart.com last night. With hidden references to the Pabst brand throughout the illustration, I can say this was a blast to work on…so much so that this was actually my second version. The first had some fundamental issues that I could have probably fixed in Photoshop but I wanted to keep the art as authentic as possible. The chance to have my design featured on something as iconic as the PBR art can is enough of a draw that I may even try to come up with another design to submit before the August 31st deadline.

The Whining Pig by aaron thomason | Jun 27, 2015 | Illustration, LifeWhile sitting, stationary, in freeway traffic a few weeks ago after a particularly trying day, I decided that I needed to get off the freeway and out of the heat, so I pulled up Yelp to see what was around. Familiar with a few of the larger chain places nearby, I wanted something smaller, quieter, where I could just sit, cool down, and unwind a bit before I got home. Yelp showed that there was this little bar three minutes away just off the freeway, and even though I was could see the complex it was in, I just couldn't place their location. After finding a parking spot in what could be argued one of the worst parking lots in Phoenix, I wandered into The Whining Pig. To say the place was small would be an understatement. With the u-shaped bar in the middle and chalkboard paint on the walls, it was exactly what I was looking for. There are no taps; everything they serve is in bottles (wine too). With the extensive beer menu on the opposite wall I sat down, ordered something cold and started doodling in my sketchbook. One of the owners was tending bar that day, and asked if I could send it to him. This little guy might be my first sketch that's made it up on a a wall other than my own!

In the first half of the first inning of the softball DeMarini Invitational, Alcorn State plated a run on Missouri with a sacrifice fly from Rayanna Davis. That run would be the only one the Tigers would allow all afternoon, as they run-ruled both Alcorn State and Boise State to open up their home schedule.
After opening up the season with 13 straight road games, the Tigers returned home to improve their record to 12-3 on Friday with a 14-1 victory over Alcorn State and an 8-0 win over Boise State.
With Missouri heavily favored in both games this afternoon, coach Ehren Earleywine saw it as an opportunity to shuffle up the lineup. In total, 13 Tigers saw the field on the day.
"I never let them get comfortable, and I let everyone know that there's a chance you could play," Earleywine said. "But it's not the YMCA. I'm not playing everybody just to play. If they deserve opportunities, I give them opportunities."
The bulk of the lineup shuffling came in the 14-1 trouncing of Alcorn State. Senior pitcher Kristin Nottlemann shook off a one-run first inning, holding the Braves scoreless for the remainder of the contest.
A third inning home run from junior Nicole Hudson, her second of the year, put the Tigers in front 6-1, which was more than enough for Missouri to cruise to a run-rule win.
Boise State put up more of a fight in the second leg of the double-header. Missouri sent ace-pitcher junior Chelsea Thomas to the circle and was true to form. Thomas was lights out, allowing just one hit — a lead-off single — the entire game, narrowly missing a no-hitter.
"You can't throw one every game," Thomas said after the game.
In the bottom half of the first inning, senior outfielder Ashley Fleming crushed a three-run home run to open up the scoring for Missouri. And with Thomas pitching, the Missouri dugout was at ease.
"Ashley Fleming hits a three-run home run in the first inning and the game's over," Earleywine said.
But the Tigers were not done scoring. Freshman first basemen Kelsea Roth made the most of her first games at University Field. The California native lifted a home run to left field after a Fleming double. Roth was batting cleanup and rewarded Earleywine's confidence.
"It's kind of intimidating because I'm batting between two of the best hitters on the team, but they're supporting me," Roth said. "When one of us fails the other ones have their back. I'm just trying to see good pitches, get the one that I want and go from there."
Roth bats behind Fleming, who also had a big day at the plate. Fleming noted the difference the freshmen have brought to the clubhouse.
"It's a completely different team on and off the field," Fleming said. "You can tell that they're not as experienced, but in a way it's good."
Earleywine was concerned after a slow start from the newcomers, but said his new recruits have slowly turned things around.
"We knew that four or five of these freshmen were going to have to do good things for us to win this year," Earleywine said. "Slowly but surely they have done better each weekend."
The Tigers will continue with tournament action Saturday with games against Alcorn State at 12:30 p.m. and Boise State at 3 p.m.

Jeff Gordon succeeded in pipping Marcos Ambrose to pole position for Sunday's road course race at Watkins Glen International.

CLICK: Full NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying results from Watkins Glen International
Jeff Gordon claimed pole position for this weekend's Cheez-It 355 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International, meaning that the 43-year-old four-time champion has now clinched a pole in each of the last 22 consecutive seasons.
Gordon's time of 68.126s (129.466mph) on the 2.45-mile, eight-turn permanent road course had succeeded in displacing provisional pole sitter Marcos Ambrose from the top spot by 0.173s, and no one who followed him out in the remaining minutes - including a final attempt from Ambrose himself - was able to improve on it.
It gives Gordon his 75th pole in 747 Cup starts, the most of any active driver, Ryan Newman being the next best with 55 career poles in Cup competition. It's his third pole in 22 races at Watkins Glen, where he is a four-time winner between 1997 and 2001.
"Oh gosh, I am so proud of this pole!" he beamed afterwards. "Qualifying has really been what has been hurting us a Watkins Glen, and I blame myself really. I'm so happy that I got three shots at it today. I really think that made the big difference.
"The first lap I did okay, but I got held up a little coming back to the chequered. The second one was a really good lap and got us into the top 12. I just tried to do the same things in that last lap," he explained. "I thought it was about the same as what I ran before, I didn't think it was going to be that much better. Wow what a lap. I'm so excited!
"I'm pumped, this gives us a lot of confidence. I think today does make a statement," he said. "We've got a real possibility with the Drive To End Hunger Chevrolet. After today, I believe anything is possible."
Ambrose had managed to set a new qualifying track record in the first round of qualifying with a run of 68.113s (129.491mph) but the Australian wasn't able to repeat that performance in the all-important second and final round.
"I thought we had it at the end but it wasn't enough," he said afterwards. "It was a pretty good lap though and I will take it. You have to be happy with front row starts!
"That's a pretty good start to the weekend, I wish Jeff was a little kinder to me to let me get the pole," he added. "He is a fantastic road racer and I have watched a lot of races here where he dominated. He is having a standout year. You can't discount anybody out there. Anyone in that top ten if they had gotten the pole I wouldn't have been surprised."
Behind Gordon and Ambrose, Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick will line up alongside each other on row two, with Kurt Busch and AJ Allmendinger making up row three for the start of Sunday afternoon's race.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. admitted that he's cooked his breaks between the two rounds of qualifying but still managed to hold on to seventh place on the grid alongside Matt Kenseth, while Brad Keselowski was somewhat disappointed to only manage ninth place putting him on row five with Ryan Newman. Keselowski's Penske team mate Joey Logano and Brian Vickers also made it through to the top 12 shootout.
"It was okay," shrugged Keselowski. "We didn't get to do a mock run in practice. I don't know if it would have been any different anyway, who knows? We just didn't quite put all the pieces together to make it work.
"We had some traffic on one run and then had to do an extra run and it kept all stacking up," he added. "I feel like we are really fast in race trim, we have a lot of speed, we just need it to not fall off so much. If we can do that, we will have a shot to win tomorrow."
Just missing out on making it through from the first round of qualifying were Tony Stewart and Jamie McMurray who will line-up in 13th and 14th places for the start of Sunday's race just ahead of Justin Allgaier, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Cole Whitt.
Last year's race winner Kyle Busch could only manage 19th place in qualifying putting him alongside Paul Menard. Also left with a lot of work to do in the race are Kyle Larson (starting from 23rd), Clint Bowyer (24th), Aric Almirola (27th), Greg Biffle (28th), Kasey Kahne (30th) and Austin Dillon (31st).
"Honestly I don't know," said Ambrose why he had been so far off the pace of Ambrose, his Richard Petty Motorsport team mate. "I felt like I hit all my marks just like I did in practice and I felt like I got up through the Esses pretty good. I don't know where the half-second I lost from yesterday was.
"I guess that is why I am not a road course racer," he admitted. "I felt like I had really picked up a lot yesterday during practice and got into rhythm and then to wake up this morning and have to lay down a lap, this is not my specialty. We didn't lay a good lap down and I am really disappointed."
Nelson Piquet Jr. will start his first Sprint Cup race from 32nd place, a row ahead from another road course specialist Boris Said who qualified in 34th position.
Danica Patrick did not put in any serious qualifying runs, preferring instead to work on race trim in the knowledge that she will have to start from the back of the field after having to change an engine between practice sessions on Friday. She also ended the day with a crash that will likely see her take to the backup car for the rest of the weekend.
"To me it almost looks like the shock broke," said Patrick's crew chief Tony Gibson. "She went into 1 and she said it moved more than it normally did and then Kenseth said it started tyre smoking and as soon as he said that, she hit. It looks to me like a shock broke. It looks like it just compressed all down and done."
Patrick wasn't hurt in the incident and was able to walk to the ambulance for transportation to the in-field care centre where she was quickly evaluated and released, but she was understandably not in the best of moods.
"It has been a record horrible day, I'm pretty sure," she said. "Why not stack it on?"

ONE Burnley FC punter who put his money where his mouth is has made the Lancashire Telegraph's deputy sports editor eat his words.
Lifelong Claret Matt Donlan poured scorn on those who saw great things ahead for Sean Dyche's men in the Championship last season.
And he wrote that 'anyone who claims that they did should be able to produce their betting slip'.
Telegraph reader Mr A Ashworth, of Venables Avenue, Colne, could afford to raise a smile - and produced photographic proof of his successful 14-1 wager, placed with Betfred, on Burnley earning promotion.
In a letter, he said: "I must have been one of those who half-expected it to happen (or saw it coming). At least I had a laugh to myself when I read your article."
Mr Ashworth may be £150 better off as a result but he would have really been in the money if his side bet placed at the same time, on the Clarets winning the title outright, had come in at 50-1.

Saw II (2005)
35 mistakes
Directed by: Darren Lynn Bousman
Starring: Beverley Mitchell, Donnie Wahlberg, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Franky G
Continuity mistake: Jonas is listening to the tape again. When the door opens, the tape stops playing. But you don't see Jonas stop the tape, and there is more left on the tape as we have heard it before.
Continuity mistake: When Amanda and Daniel entered the bathroom from 'Saw', Adam's body is shown with his right leg shackled. However, in 'Saw' and in Amanda's flashback in 'Saw III', his left leg is shackled.
Visible crew/equipment: Crew is reflected in one of the large white SWAT vans which pulls up outside Wilson Steel factory.
Continuity mistake: We figure out at some point or another in the movie that the people in the game are supposed to have numbers on their necks. (In the back of their minds). But in the scene where Amanda gets thrown in the needle pit Franky G's neck is seen as he walks past Glenn P. and as he walks out the door, with no numbers in either shot.
Continuity mistake: After Amanda falls into the pit of syringes and is dragged out by Eric's son, she is covered in blood from being stabbed with many syringes, but in every scene after that she has no blood stains on her skin or clothes.
Revealing mistake: When the group finds the picture of Daniel and his father Eric in the house, look closely at the photo - it was obviously very poorly patched together with photoshop. The lighting on Daniel/Eric does not match the lighting in the background at all, and it's clear that they have been crudely "cut out" of another photo and inserted over the background image. The extremely poor, obviously fake quality of the photo is even jokingly mentioned in at least one of the DVD commentaries.
Continuity mistake: When we see the envelope with Obi's name on it, the position of the knife through the envelope changes three or four times. At one point it is by the "b" in Obi and in another it's above the "o".
Continuity mistake: When we see the SWAT team aim their lasers on Jigsaw, we see several dots. A few officers move and 2 remain. However we still see 5 or 6 dots.
Revealing mistake: When Obi is getting burned you can some times see the end of the oven on the side for were the camera can see inside the oven.
Continuity mistake: The tape on the picture that Daniel has keeps changing. In some shots it's all nice and neat; in others it's curled up and taped to itself.
Continuity mistake: The way Daniel holds the picture of him and his dad changes instantly.
Visible crew/equipment: When Alison is in the hand box trap, if you look very carefully you can see a boom mic arm reflected in the glass in one of the quicker shots. No Slow-mo required.
Deliberate mistake: Right after the guy gets shot through the door, it goes back to detective Matthew, and there is a small cut above his right eye. in the next shot its above his left eye, then back. Meaning the shot is backwards.
Continuity mistake: When the people spot the envelope with Obi's name on it, the blade of the knife holding the envelope changes angle between shots. It goes from vertical to horizontal.
Continuity mistake: The way Kerry is holding the files of the people in the game changes instantly when Matthews grabs the files from her.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Eric Mathews goes to confront Jigsaw (after he first looks at the monitors), the chain of his badge gets twisted when he gets held back, but as he's about to leave the chain appears, untwisted. But when he gets back to the monitors, his chain is twisted only to be untwisted by him a few seconds later.
Continuity mistake: In the part right before the girl is thrown in the heroin needle pit, Jonas takes the envelope with the drug dealers tape. When the cop's son pulls the cover off the pit, you can see that the envelope that Jonas just ripped off is still on. It's right near the bottom of the screen, and in the middle.
Continuity mistake: When Amanda is thrown into the pit of needles, in some shots there is only one, while in others, there are two or more stuck in her back. Also, in some shots the needles are pointed at an angle, whereas in others, they are pointed almost straight up. (Uncut Edition)
Other mistake: The drip-meter that is supposed to administer Jigsaw's medication is not turned on. Anyone who has spent time in a hospital and seen one for real knows that a lot of numbers are shown on the displays when it is running to show medication status.
Continuity mistake: When Glenn Plummer gets the spiked baseball bat in the head, the camera shows two shots of the blood coming out of his head on the floor, and there's not much there. When the guy who killed him walks over to read the number on the back of his head, there is now a huge amount of blood, not enough time has passed in the 2 seconds since the previous shot for this to happen.

Here Are Six Things About Hall Of Famer Jimmy Dean You May Not Know
There are two things about Jimmy Dean that almost everyone knows.
First, he had a huge international Country and Pop music hit in 1961 with 'Big Bad John'. That signature smash cemented his name in the minds and hearts of music fans around the world.
And secondly, he became even more famous because of his 'Jimmy Dean Sausage', a company that earned him millions more, in both dollars and breakfast fans!
But there was a lot more to this multi-talented singer, songwriter, actor and businessman.
For example…
1) Many folks know Jimmy hosted his own very popular 'Jimmy Dean Show' on ABC from 1963-66, introducing many Country Star's to a huge national audience. But did you know he also gave a huge boost to the career of Jim Henson of 'The Muppets' fame? Jimmy would interact on his show with 'Rowlf The Dog', a muppet-type character voiced and handled by Henson.
2) But wait, there's more. Yes, Jim Henson was given a boost by being on Jimmy's show, but did you know he was so grateful, he offered Jimmy 40% interest in his young production company? Jimmy turned it down, saying he hadn't really done anything to earn it.
3) You probably know Jimmy had several acting roles, particularly on the Daniel Boone show, in which he appeared in some 14 episodes. But did you know he also appeared in a James Bond movie? He was the reclusive billionaire Willard Whyte in 1971's 'Diamonds Are Forever'.
4) While 'Big Bad John' will always be remembered as Jimmy's biggest and most recognizable smash hit, he had several other hit's through the 1960's. And did you know he had a million selling single in 1976? Released three weeks before Mother's day, the recitation hit honored his Mother…and Mothers everywhere.

5) Jimmy Dean had an incredible career on so many levels. On record, on TV, in business. And did you know he achieved all that success and…he was a high school dropout! Yep, he quit school, served for a time in the Air Force and became a household name around the world.
6) Jimmy passed away in 2010 at the age of 81. And while, again, we all know 'Big Bad John' is his signature song, did you know it earned the 1962 Grammy for 'Best Country & Western Recording'? So let's go ahead and go back into the mine one more time for the heroic deeds of 'Big Bad John'.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE: Winner, winner — chicken dinner.
3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 Tablespoons mild olive oil, plus oil for the grill grates
Freshly ground black pepper
Four 4-to-5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded slightly so each breast is of even thickness (about ½ inch)
2 Tablespoons mild olive oil
2 Tablespoons finely chopped garlic
2 pounds ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and cut into ¼-inch dice (see NOTE), about 1 3/4 cups
2 Tablespoons white wine
1/8 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
12 large basil leaves, rolled together tightly and cut into very thin strips (chiffonade)
Serves four.
Combine vinegar, oil and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow dish or gallon-size resealable food storage bag. Add chicken breast halves; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 12.
When ready to cook, prepare grill for direct heat (450 degrees). Drain chicken pieces, discarding marinade, and transfer to grill. Close lid and cook for about 4 minutes, until chicken has grill marks. Turn pieces over, cover grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until cooked through. Set chicken pieces aside to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
While chicken is cooking, prepare tomato sauce: Combine oil and garlic in a small saute pan or skillet over medium-low heat. When oil begins to sizzle, lower heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat so garlic softens but does not brown.
Increase heat to medium-high and add tomatoes. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing a few times, then add wine, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until liquid in pan has reduced by half. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
Cut each piece of chicken on the diagonal into ¼-inch-wide slices. Arrange on individual serving plates and top each portion equally with tomato sauce. Garnish with basil. Serve warm.
NOTE: To peel tomatoes, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Have ready a bowl of ice water. Cut an "X" in the bottom of each tomato and remove stem. Working with one at a time, place tomato in boiling water for 15 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to quickly transfer it to the ice water. The skin should simply slip off.
