SEATTLE (AP) — Bailey stood at midfield with Seattle star Clint Dempsey at his side, waiting for kickoff against Tottenham.
When the whistle blew, the 18-year-old Bailey — a Make-A-Wish recipient from Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia — took the pass from Dempsey, dribbled down the field and took a shot on former U.S. national team goalkeeper Brad Friedel. He was then subbed off in front of 55,349 to a massive ovation.
Bailey took part in training with the Sounders on Friday and the club made sure his experience was special.
Bailey walked out with the team during pregame ceremonies Saturday and was introduced as part of the starting lineup. Seattle's largest fan group — the Emerald City Supporters — created a small tifo in honor of Bailey, and green cards were handed out through the stadium with his name and his No. 45.

Common Core debate fires up crowdUnion Leader Statehouse Bureau
February 06. 2014 8:54PM
CONCORD — Commissioner of Education Virginia Barry came ready for a fight at a legislative hearing Thursday, calling opponents of Common Core "misinformed."
She accused them of attempting to deny local control to school districts that have been putting the standards in place for the past four years. "Asking for laws that prevent implementation flies in the face of local control," she said.
Her passion was not lost on opponents at the House Education Committee hearing. "I have never seen Virginia Barry so fired up," said Doris Hohensee, chairwoman of N.H. Families for Education.
The large hearing room in the Legislative Office Building was filled, with some of the 60 to 70 people lining the walls, as speakers took turns deriding or supporting two bills.
The hearings focused on one bill (HB 1239), which requires a cost-analysis of the educational standards adopted in 45 states, and another (HB1508) that would forbid the Department of Education from implementing them.
Barry's testimony came at the end of a long line of speakers, including school superintendents, current and former teachers, at least 10 state representatives, and moms with children in tow, sporting "Stop Common Core" name-tags.
Common Core opponents, fresh from a news conference in the lobby of the building, said the standards were adopted in a closed process, the costs are unknown, the approach is untested and unproven, and could prove harmful to children whose privacy could be compromised.
Joseph Mendola of Warner, who recently filed paperwork with the Secretary of State's office to create a group called Grandparents and Parents Opposed to Common Core, raised the specter of "children vomiting and losing bowel control" over the stresses imposed by the new standards and related tests.
"Our children need to go through K-12 with an appetite to enjoy education, not to hate it," he said to loud applause, prompting committee chairwoman Mary Gile, D-Concord, to call for decorum.
Speakers focused on the technical arguments for and against the standards, and the concerns about protecting the privacy of students who take the tests.
"If you support Common Core, some day when my child's information is used in a way that is detrimental to my child or to me, I hope you can look me in the eye and explain why you gave my information away," said Laura El-Azem, a mother of five from Londonderry.
Two sides far apart
Supporters argued that the standards were well-vetted and supported by the majority of professional organizations representing teachers and school boards in the country.
Representatives of the Business and Industry Association and the New Hampshire Coalition for Business and Education spoke in support of the standards, as did all of the school superintendents who testified.
"We are now three-and-a-half years into implementing the Common Core," said supporter Bill Duncan, founder of Advancing New Hampshire Public Education. "It costs nothing. There is no new textbook demand; no professional development demand, so the Common Core, just like all the standards that preceded it, gets metabolized into the public school system in the normal fashion."
At its core, the debate came down to whether consistency among the states in educational standards is desirable in the face of declining test results and growing international competition, or whether it represents federal intrusion into a state prerogative.
Teaching style, with old-fashioned memorization versus conceptual learning, was also at issue.
State Rep. Lenette Peterson, R-Merrimack, gave an example of how a math question would be handled by Common Core: Mrs. Jones had 18 students and she wanted each of them to become a number so that the room would equal 90.
"In Common Core, they would arrange 18 rows, each with five dots, to come up to 90," she said. "In old math, they would have learned their multiplication tables and division, take 90 and divide by 18, to come up with five, which is quicker and way more efficient."
Other parents handed out student work samples to the committee to make their point.
State Rep. Chris Muns, D-Hampton, who also serves as chairman of the Winnacunnet School Board, testified that the new standards are needed to keep America competitive in the global economy.
"The Common Core will better prepare our students for the realities of the current economic environment in which our kids are not only competing with other kids in New Hampshire or New England, they are competing with other kids across the country and around the world, and these standards will do a much better job at helping them deal with that reality," he said.
State Rep. Peter Hansen, R-Amherst, countered, "You want to be concerned about the education system of the U.S. versus the rest of the world? Once they put a man on the moon, we can be concerned about that."

Hello,I got a HR202 humidity sensor and I have no idea how to convert the analog result to HR%. I haven't found any exemple code at internet.If someone have a example, please send to me. I apreciate.the datasheet is here: ftp://imall.iteadstudio.com/Sensor/IM120712018/DS_IM120712018.pdf
Alternatively, you could generate a function from the values in the table. Spreadsheets graphs and trend lines are helpful for that.
You could put that table an array, and then look up and interpolate values based on the value from the temperature sensor which it appears you are missing.
(1) Avoid polarization, driving voltage or current should be 100% alternative. (2) Please measure the sensor with LCR alternative-current bridge, don't use multimeter.

When we drove the new Hyundai Veloster last year, we immediately took to the little hatchback with the odd number of doors and even odder name. We liked its funky design, but were disappointed with the coupe�s obvious lack of power. Now comes a turbo model, and all is right in the Veloster�s world.
Appearance: What makes this hot hatch different is an element not obvious at first glance: its asymmetry. The Veloster has a rear door only on the passenger side. Think of it as a coupe with a bonus door that makes it easier to access the backseat. Anyone with kids who has owned a two-door car will appreciate it. The wide-mouth grille on the Turbo is much larger than that of the normal Veloster, which also is fitted with an aggressive body kit. The car uses Hyundai�s fluidic sculpture philosophy that some may find busy with design elements: pronounced fenders, beveled hood with scoops and large headlights with LED accents. It�s certainly not boring. The look is set off by chrome-tipped dual exhausts and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Performance: You�ll feel a slight turbo lag, but overall, the performance fulfills the promise of the base Veloster. The twin-scroll turbo beefs up the anemic 1.6-liter four-cylinder by 63 horsepower to 201. That�s a big difference for a car that weighs less than 3,000 pounds. Under hard acceleration, there�s a bit of torque steer, but that�s to be expected with front-wheel drive. The six-speed manual shifts easily. (A six-speed automatic with Shiftronic is an option.) We both found the ECO gear-shift indicator on the driver information screen annoying. We�ll shift when we feel like it, thank you. The Veloster�s sport-tuned suspension and low center of gravity give it a nimble ride, although Peter found it harsh on uneven road surfaces. (Our tester had a Z-speed rated tires � $1,200 extra.)
Interior: There�s more room than you would expect. Only taller drivers will feel cramped in the front, especially because of the panorama sunroof. The 2012 Velosters were recalled after reports of the sunroof glass shattering. In the rear seats, Peter�s daughters didn�t feel constricted. The heated leather seats are comfortable with good bolstering and support. We did find the adjustment lever a bit of a reach at the bottom of the seat; be careful using it while in motion. Lyra found the seat belt height sits too high for shorter people. Our tester had a rear-view camera and rear sensors, which are part of the optional Ultimate Package ($2,500) and are needed because visibility in the car is compromised. The Veloster should please techies as Hyundai seems to be moving to the head of the class when it comes to its Blue Link system. The 7-inch display and Bluetooth connection are easy to use.
Bottom line: It may not be a high-performance �hot hatch,� but the Veloster Turbo packs a lot of fun into a small package.
Peter Couture: Interior controls are practical; the striking color of our tester that Hyundai calls �Vitamin C�; and cabin details.
Lyra Solochek: With 201 horsepower, the morning commute is a lot of fun; no handling problems; optional color of limited-edition matte gray. Sharp.

"Planned Parenthood claims that if it had to meet basic safety requirements for outpatient clinics, two of its abortion centers would go out of business," said Georgette Forney, co-founder of SNMAC. "That speaks volumes not only about the conditions of those clinics, but also Planned Parenthood's concern for the well being of the women it claims to serve."
"It's all about money," added Janet Morana, also a co-founder of SNMAC. "We're talking about fundamental requirements like having doors and hallways big enough to accommodate stretchers, scrub-up facilities for operating rooms, and walls and floors that are washable. Apparently, basics like that are too much to ask from Planned Parenthood."
Since the launching of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 2,326 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at 189 gatherings in 44 states and six countries where more than 15,000 spectators have heard the truth about abortion's negative aftereffects. More than 4,100 people are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the Campaign's goals.
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our website: www.silentnomoreawareness.org

I love love love the bucket bag! I'm so excited to see these on the street, on the runway, and in stores. They're perfect for day or night because they come in a variety of sizes, fabrics and colors so there are lots of options to go with any wardrobe. I think the bucket bag is a different and cool way to update your "night-out" purse. We tend to spend too much time with our outfit, hair and makeup and then we grab any black purse or clutch and we're out the door. A smaller bucket bag is a perfect substitute for the ordinary "going-out" clutch. The best part is…they have a long strap to go perfectly across your body. This means…no more losing your purse! With the bucket bag, there's no excuse! I'm sure we've all experienced a lost purse at point or another and it's not a fun experience to have to cancel your credit cards and wonder who's now making long-distance calls from your Blackberry.
Here are some of my favorite bucket bags:
Top Row (left to right): Alexander Wang Diego Suede Bucket Bag ($795 at net-a-porter.com), Leather Lace Up Pouch Bag ($170 at topshop.com), Leather Pouch Cross Body Bag ($55 at topshop.com)
Bottom Row (left to right): Marc by Marc Jacobs Drawstring Resort Tote ($330 at barneys.com), ASOS Dark Suede Duffle Studded Across Body Bag ($59 at asos.com), Drawstring Bar Crossbody Bag ($69 at ninewest.com)
As you can see, there's a variety of colors, fabrics and sizes with the bucket bag. There's also one to fit every budget. How perfect!
So, what do you think of the bucket bag? Do you own one? Do you plan on buying one? If you found one or have one that's not one of my picks, post the link or a picture. I'd love to see it. Let me know what you think!

You've heard what happened by now, and you've seen the tweet. No need to recount the "story," right? Right. (Ah, OK, here's a link if you really need it.)
Let's get one thing straight: The tweet was bad. Really, really bad. Nobody is defending her offensive remark, not even Sacco, a public relations professional, herself. And while there's no defense for it, I can't help but feel incredibly uncomfortable with the way we, the Internet, responded to it. It's a shining example of how 2013 seemed to be the year of the Social Media Police, this elite force of Internet crusaders who will stop at nothing to see that, uh, ... people who say stupid things ... get publicly humiliated and, uh ... lose their jobs ... and, uh, get added to their year-end clickable list of "social media fails" and "stupid people doing stupid things."
So, uh ... well done, guys?
This situation in particular is a bit more aggravating, when it comes to the seemingly weekly "story" of "person says something stupid on social media, gets life ruined." Couple things:
-Originally reported by Valleywag in a quick post a few hours after the tweet went out, Buzzfeed's entire staff jumped on the "story" soon after, tweeting Sacco directly and sharing link after link after link about it. By the end of the day, Buzzfeed was then REPORTING ON the "Twitter storm" ... that they had basically created. (They do this a lot.)
-@JustineSacco had about 200 followers before this. Would anyone have even seen the damn tweet had the Buzzfeed buzzards not circled and attacked? Would we all be better off if we DIDN'T see stupid and offensive tweets like this getting spread? Because ...
-Uh, have you ever looked at Twitter? In any given five minutes, you'll see at least a handful of tweets that are similarly as bad, if not worse (how do we gauge what's "worse," anyway?), than Sacco's tweet. There's a section of Twitter, which I like to call Bad Twitter, that is, to put it bluntly, a cesspool of filth, racism, sexism, homophobia and self-hate (links are probably NSFW, which is the point, here). We all know this. Why pick out Sacco's tweet to vilify?
-OK, her field of expertise? Public relations. Yes. How juicy! Except not. One's "expertise" does not make her immune from the occasional pitfalls of social media. If you've never tweeted something you regretted (even years later), then you're probably incredibly boring on Twitter.
-Girl was out of touch for 12 hours. Yeah, the #HasJustineLanded hashtag was funny on the surface, but could you imagine walking into that alternate universe? One social media user's entertainment is another's personal hell.
Before we succombed to pressures to build page views with "social media fail" clickbait -- and before we all subsequently continued to fall for this garbage -- we actually used to give a damn about getting the other side of the story. In Sacco's case, there's probably zero excuse that would make what she shared OK -- nope, sorry, "I got hacked" will never work -- but it would have at least given us a little insight before millions of strangers deemed themselves the Twitter Police and set out to destroy her life just to kill time during the afternoon lull and drive up page views.
The woman lost her job. She will be on the Google blacklist for years and probably have a really tough time finding another job. She made a mistake, she said a dumb thing -- but who are we, Internet, to decide she had to die for this social media sin? Why stand up and demand that a public relations exec's company fire her ass for this comment but not when a politician flames the gay community? Or a cable news pundit mocks rape victims? Or a high schooler harrasses another with tweets?
We get it: People make stupid decisions, and when those decisions are as public as these are, there is going to be a consequence.
But as someone who gets a paycheck from doing social media, I can confidently say that the punishment does not fit the crime in about 80 percent of these cases. A person's job and livelihood are worth more than your icebreaker conversation at the bar later and a couple thousand page views from a "social media fails" column that probably sucks anyway.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The search for a missing French adventurer was suspended along the eastern coast of Katmai National Park and Preserve after aerial searches didn't reveal any signs of his whereabouts, authorities said.
The search for Francois Guenot was called off late Saturday, a day after park rangers found his kayak containing his identification, food, maps and personal journals, said Katmai National Park Chief Ranger Neal Labrie.
The kayak was discovered on a beach along Shelikof Strait about 200 miles southwest of Anchorage.
"We've picked up nothing more," Labrie told The Associated Press on Monday. "And the last journal entry he had amongst his goods was dated June 15."
Guenot was last heard from on May 26 near Kamishak Bay, the Anchorage Daily News reported (http://is.gd/3CLoLS).
The National Park Service had planes modify flight patterns to search for Guenot.
"Had there been anybody or anything to see along those coastal areas, we probably would have seen them," Labrie said.
The U.S. Coast Guard also conducted aerial searches Saturday and had a boat positioned along the shore.
If he decided to abandon the kayak and walk, the search area could be endless, since his possible route wasn't known, Labrie said.
"There's really no reason why he would have left all his personal belongings, especially his ID behind," Labrie said. "He seems extremely unpredictable."
When he was 32, Guenot told Yukon News, a newspaper in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, in January 2012 that he was a ski instructor from Maiche, France, who dreamed of adventure in North America, across the wilds of Canada and Alaska.
"I don't want to stay like a dog on a leash in France," he told the newspaper.
Guenot arrived in Canada in the summer of 2011 to begin his trek across the continent, which included several misadventures, including falling into a river in the winter.
He eventually made his way to Fairbanks, where he found a bike at the dump and rode it to Homer. Guenot then went to Seldovia, where he found two kayaks and made them into one seaworthy vessel.
He began showing up in villages along the shore of Lake Iliamna in southwest Alaska last fall.
Guenot befriended Kokhanok resident Gary Nielsen and lived on his property in a tent. When it was too cold in the winter to sleep outside, Nielsen said Guenot slept in the steam bath.
Guenot, whom Nielsen said became known as "the crazy Frenchman," ultimately wanted to reach the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia.
He set off in May, telling Nielsen that he was going to Perryville, which was hundreds of miles away. Nielsen said Guenot had trouble comprehending the great distances involved in traveling Alaska.
Another friend, Jim Tilley of Intricate Bay, spent time with Guenot last fall. He said everyone liked Guenot, but there were worries.
"He was just aloof to the dangers of Alaska," Tilley told the Daily News.
Nielsen said he had concerns about Guenot but noted that he's done odd things before, such as walking around Lake Iliamna during spring break up. Nielsen said he was gone three weeks but came back in one piece.
Guenot had planned to meet up with friends July 19.
"If we hear nothing by the end of July, he's probably dead," Nielsen said.

Enjoy your favorite music with a pair of headphones. They're available in a variety of styles—from over-the-ear to comfortable earbuds—with features such as noise cancellation and in-line controls. With headphones, you get to:
What style of earphones you want is key to finding the perfect pair of headphones. Do you want ones that cup your ear or a smaller pair of earbuds?
Also determine whether you want wired headphones that plug into your smartphone, tablet or other mobile device, or a wireless version that can stream music without cords using Bluetooth.
A third consideration is what extras you want in a headset. Noise-cancelling headphones help block out the world around you so you can focus on your tunes. Some earphones also come with inline controls that let you change the volume or take a phone call.

Next stepAn Overview of the Home Buying Journey
The Home Buying Process Demystified
The home buying process is wrought with potential pitfalls and challenges, but when done right can be relatively painless. As champions of homebuying, we've created this step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
Below you'll find an overview of the home buying timeline as well as the major components of the home buying process with links to the various steps, tools, and information to educate and empower your home search, discovery and purchase.
How Long Does it Take to Buy a Home?
Your timeline may vary, but the following is a good guideline
- Preparing to Buy a Home: 3-4 weeks
- Initial Search for Ideas: 1-4 weeks
- Building a Team: 1 week (overlap initial search)
- Pre-Approval of Mortgage: 12-48 hours
- The Home Search: 4-8 weeks (depending on criteria)
- Contract-to-Close: 14-60 days
So, on average a homebuyer will spend 30-60 days shopping and 14-60 days from contract to close. For some folks, the process can be extremely quick taking as little as 30 days total, while for others, the shopping period alone can last several months.
How Much Home Can I Afford?
The first step in the home buying process is understanding if you have the resources to buy a home. This includes knowing how much home you can afford, what type of down payment and monthly mortgage payment to budget for, as well as what type of loan program you'll use to finance your new property.
Buying a home is a complicated process that requires a good deal of research. In the course of it, there will be a number of professionals and specialists involved. Once you've done your homework and assessed your resources, you'll need to assemble your team.
Learn More About Preparing to Buy a Home >
Assembling Your Team
After you have a good understanding of your own wants, needs, and goals, it's time to assemble your team and begin the home search! Who should be on your team? Who you'll need to find on your own may vary, but the key team members could be: Real estate agent (could be a RealtorTM but not all agents are), home appraiser, title company, home inspector, insurance agent and mortgage lender.
When selecting the members of this team, take the same amount of care you would in choosing a home, because these people will be working for you to help you do just that. Trust & communication are key considerations in working with your team.
Learn More About Assembling Your Team >
Sorting Out Your Finances
With the selection of a mortgage lender comes the application for mortgage pre-approval, a task that requires collecting the necessary financial paperwork to help obtain the approval. Once obtained the clock begins ticking because many pre-approval offers have a limited life-span before they expire.
Learn More About Mortgages & Pre-Approval >
Your Home Search
While you juggle the paperwork and timelines implicit to the process, remember that your team works for you. Now your search for (and discovering) your new home begins. Research, save, view and repeat. Remember Homes.com has all the tools you need to find and keep track of your favorite properties and home shortlist.
Learn More About the Home Search Tools & Process >
The Offer
You've got a mortgage pre-approval in hand and have found a property you can afford to purchase and see yourself living in. Time for a purchase offer to a listing agent or seller!
Once you receive an acceptance offer, the due-diligence period starts a timeline of checks and tasks for final mortgage approvals, appraisals, inspections, and other requirements that would be stated in the terms of the contract.
Learn More About the Offer, Negotiation & The Close!
Assessment, Conditions & Negotiation
Many consider this to be the most difficult part of the home buying process as it includes, but isn't limited to, inspection, obtaining the final loan, purchasing insurance, and the potentially arduous negotiation. In this part of the process, every member of your team will be utilized, and the more homework you have done in building your team, the smoother this part will go. Those who haven't conducted their proper due diligence could potentially see the purchase fall apart at this point.
Closing the Deal!
A successful closing requires all of the team players to come together at the same time, with the same agenda, on the same date, with numbers and figures that match. From the start of the home search to the home inspection and closing the deal, the entire home buying process can take most homeowners about three months.

UH Hilo student wins nationwide contestUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Hilo
Dir, Media Rel, University Relations
A University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo student is the winner of the nationwide Sodexo University Dining Services "Share That U Care" contest. The promotion encouraged students to spread the word about their favorite charities and to help to make a difference through charitable contributions.
Cody Fred, a sophomore majoring in computer science, was selected from thousands of contestants. He chose the Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kurtistown, Hawaiʻi as his charity because of his love for animals and his support of the humane mission of the organization.
The Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit organization dedicated to the well being of Hawaiʻi's unwanted, abandoned, abused or otherwise neglected animals, especially companion animals. Fred volunteered at the sanctuary while a high school student at the Hawaiʻi Academy of Arts and Sciences.
"We are a no-kill sanctuary whose goal is to help alleviate the animal abandonment and overpopulation issues facing our island," explained Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary founder Mary Rose Krijgsman. "We take in any dog and cat that needs new homes and adopt them to loving families. If the animals are not adopted, they have a permanent home at our sanctuary."
Fred will be honored at an awards ceremony on Wednesday, December 4 at noon in the UH Hilo Campus Center Dining Room. A representative from the Rainbow Friends will also be present to accept their charitable donation of $2500 on behalf of Fred and Sodexo Campus Services.

John Tinney McCutcheon was born on May 6, 1870 near South Raub in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. His parents were Civil War veteran Captain John Barr McCutcheon (Sheriff of Tippecanoe County) and Clara (Glick) McCutcheon. Young John McCutcheon spent his early childhood in the rural areas surrounding Lafayette, Indiana. He had two brothers, George Barr McCutcheon and Ben F. McCutcheon, and one sister, Jessie McCutcheon (Nelson). His brother George Barr would later earn fame as a novelist.
McCutcheon entered Purdue University and was a founding member of the University's first fraternity, Sigma Chi. He was also a co-editor of the University's first yearbook, the Debris.
After graduating from Purdue with a B.S. degree in 1889, McCutcheon moved to Chicago and was hired to work for the Chicago Morning News (later known as the Chicago Record) as an artist. He began doing front page cartoons for the newspaper in 1895. In 1903, McCutcheon joined the staff of the Chicago Tribune and served in capacities as both an editorial cartoonist and occasional foreign correspondent until his retirement in 1946. As a cartoonist, much of his work appeared on the front pages of the Chicago Tribune, and the subject matter of his cartoons included issues on local, national, and international politics, war, journalism, societal changes, and economic hardships. McCutcheon traveled a great deal during his career, and covered many political events such as presidential campaigns, the Spanish-American War, and World War I. In 1932, McCutcheon was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning for his work titled A Wise Economist Asks a Question. McCutcheon also created illustrations for his friend George Ade, a fellow Hoosier and Purdue graduate; the illustrations appeared in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, as well as books written by Ade. Due to the wide exposure and success of his professional work, McCutcheon is often referred to as the Dean of American Cartoonists.
McCutcheon married Evelyn Shaw on January 20, 1917, and they had four children (John Jr., Shaw, Barr, and Evelyn, who died as a small child). The couple owned a small island in the Bahamas, Salt Cay, which the family referred to as Treasure Island. Following his death in 1949, McCutcheon's widow Evelyn distributed his vast collection of original drawings to various institutions in the Midwest, including Purdue University. Evelyn McCutcheon also contributed to the posthumous publication of John McCutcheon's autobiography, Drawn from Memory.

Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000105 EndHTML:0000009548 StartFragment:0000002457 EndFragment:0000009512
In its first foray into the NCAA women's tournament, Quinnipiac didn't take a bus trip south from Connecticut just to practice in a huge arena and serve as fodder for the home team.
No, the 13th-seeded Bobcats are intent upon beating No. 4 seed Maryland on Saturday. They've even outlined the manner in which the first-round upset will occur.
Quinnipiac (30-2) expects to use its depth to wear down the Terrapins (24-7) and utilize its ball-hawking ability to force free-wheeling Maryland into a slew of turnovers.
"Our advantage is they only play eight players or so and we have 10, five who can come in and pick up where the starters left off," forward Brittany McQuain said. "Our depth wore down teams all year. It is one of our biggest advantages going into Saturday."
The second unit has been dubbed The Gold Rush, which coach Tricia Fabbri says, "allows our first five to go out and play at an intense level for three or four minutes because they know they're going to get rest."
The Bobcats are pretty tough on defense, too. They forced a combined 68 turnovers over a three-game stretch to win the Northeast Conference tournament, and now they're going up against a Maryland squad that averages 17 turnovers per game.
Most of all, Quinnipiac wants to prove it can compete against an Atlantic Coast Conference school on the sport's biggest stage.
"This is something we've looked forward to since we were little girls," guard Jasmine Martin said. "We're excited to be here, but at the same time we're not just here to be one and done. We want to give Maryland a run for their money. A lot of people don't know who we are, who don't know how to pronounce Quinnipiac. But at the end of the day, we want people to know who we are, know where Quinnipiac is and what we're about."
Quinnipiac hopes to duplicate the recent success of Marist, which faces No. 5 seed Michigan State (24-8) in the second game Saturday. The mid-major Red Foxes (26-6) reached the round of 16 in 2007 and won first-round games in 2008, 2011 and 2012.
"We are well aware of what they have been able to accomplish in the past," Michigan State forward Courtney Schiffauer said of Marist. "They are a great team and they always do well in the first couple rounds of the tournament."
Quinnipiac has no such history. Not only do the Bobcats have to battle first-game jitters, they've also got to go against a team with a terrific 1-2 scoring punch of Tianna Hawkins and ACC player of the year Alyssa Thomas.
Maryland has missed the NCAA tournament only once since 2003. Quinnipiac guard Gillian Abshire, who went to high school in Maryland, needed no reminder of the Terrapins' success.
"I grew up coming to the games and watching Brenda Frese coach," Abshire said. "I always looked up to this program and thought it was awesome. It's pretty cool coming back and being able to play against them."
Maryland has no intention of looking past Quinnipiac, which is riding a 22-game winning streak since falling to Georgia Tech on Dec. 29..
"I don't think this team would be where we are if we took a team lightly," Frese said. 'They haven't done that all season long, and now you're on the biggest stage, you're in the NCAA tournament. You know what's at stake. If you take a team lightly, you're going home. Your season's over."
Michigan State was bounced in the opening round last season at Maryland, falling to Louisville 67-55. Prior to that, the Spartans had won at least once in seven straight NCAA tournament appearances.
"Getting back here is a new beginning," Michigan State forward Jasmine Thomas said.
In spite of its history of surprising success in the tournament, Marist is an underdog. The Red Foxes wouldn't want it any other way after being targeted by the rest of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference en route to winning their eighth straight league title.
"We knew we have our hands full, but it's kind of nice to take off the bull's-eye jacket and go and see if we can pull another upset," coach Brian Giorgis said.
A win over the Spartans would go a long way toward enhancing Marist's reputation as a giant killer.
"You get labeled that because of what you've done in the past, and the nice part is we have some players from that past who have been able to experience it, especially in the last couple of years," Giorgis said.
That success, said forward Elizabeth Beynnon, "Just gives us hope."
As far as the Red Foxes are concerned, the stiffer the completion, the better.
"I think as a team, we like being the underdog, we like that challenge," guard Leanne Ockenden said. "We like to go up against the bigger schools."

Winter Vacation, I'm preparing for a club activity for the new school year. Guess what.
I, though my own Greek is far from fluency, am going to lead a Greek club for students. Once in a fortnight. It should give me an excuse for having my Greek time at the school.
Having had the library buy some Greek textbooks, like "Athenaze," "Greek, an Intensive Course," "Homeric Greek,"(by Pharr), κτλ., I examined which to use as the textbook. I took my old Chase and Phillips. It contains hundreds of real, precious gnomic Greek texts as the exercise.
First I thought I should let the students(if there's any) to buy the textbook. But then again, one of the reasons I failed to follow the book thoroughly was that the grammatical details were in English. Though I could read it if I tried, you know it doesn't catch my eyes easily when you read from a foreign language. So I started off translating it into Korean, for my potential students, although this is a foreign language high school and the students are all expected to have some command of English, could have similar barrier.
And the effect is, for the first time I have read the book thoroughly, and at the same time, as the preparation for the lecture, I have interpreted up to 80 per cent (and counting) of all the exercises successfully.
The whole process of preparing to teach what I didn't master helped me master it. So, although the chance is scarce that many students apply for the Greek club, this job is a great propulsion of my Greek study.
