Who do you think will win the French Open? Do you think that Federer will win the only major open that he hasn't ever won in his life yet? Do you think that Agassi will win this tournament before his retirement? Is Nadal going to pull another win in another clay court tournament? How far will Roddick advance in open with his power dominated play?
I think that Agassi has a chance to win this tournament b/c it is the perfect weather for him. But he has to be able to beat high seeded players. My money is definitely on Federer now. Nadal will put up a challenge for him but it's not likely that he pose too much of a threat for Federer. I don't think Roddick will beat any seeded players higher than 20. His power won't be good enough on clay and people are going to attack that weak backhand of his.

The Ospreys were on fire in the opening half, shooting 15-22 from the field (68.2 percent) and 6-8 from downtown.

Monday, junior Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) continued to produce with 17 points and 13 rebounds, but it was not enough as Mercer outscored ETSU by 11 in the second half to run away with the victory.

The shooting percentage took a hit in the second frame, cooling down to 36.4 percent (12-33), while Mercer was fueled by Kendra Grant and Precious Bridges who each wound up with more than 20 points.

SEWANEE, Tenn.—A second straight day of shutout pitching propelled the Birmingham-Southern softball team to a four-game sweep of SCAC foe Sewanee to move to 29-7 overall and 15-1 in conference play.
Panther bats combined for 27 runs and 37 hits on the day to earn the 14-0 and 13-0 wins on the road. The two victories came in five innings as the Tigers saw their record for the season fall to 5-24 and 0-18 in the conference.
BSC returns to action on Tuesday, playing a make-up game at LaGrange, before beginning postseason play on Friday in Jackson, Tenn., in the SCAC Softball Championship. The East Division leaders will be playing in their first conference tournament, although they also finished atop the standings last season but were ineligible for postseason play due to the transition to NCAA Division III. The Panthers will face the winner of the game between No. 2 West seed Southwestern and No. 3 East seed Rhodes at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 27, at the West Tennessee Healthcare Sportsplex in Jackson, Tenn.
BSC scored five runs in the first inning courtesy of five hits and a sacrifice fly from junior Brittany Berkopec that brought home lead-off hitter senior Ashley Bice. Singles from freshman Bethany Fronk and senior Beth Lefler, coupled with a double from junior Chelsea Fernandez, accounted for the rest of the Panther scoring in the first.
The run manufacturing would continue in the second with the BSC squad batting all the way through the lineup. RBI singles from junior Danielle Rucker, Fronk, and freshman Joanna Jernigan, complemented by a freshman Taylor Bassett double and Fernandez sacrifice fly would account for the six Panther runs in the frame. The final runs of the game came off the bat of Bice with a three-run home run in the fourth. The big fly, Bice's team-leading third hit of the game, scored Fernandez and Rucker.
The offensive production proved to be plenty of run support for Lefler in the cirlcle as she held Tiger batters to a mere two hits on the day. The victory improves Lefler's record to 6-1 this season.
Game two in the double bill would feature an especially dominant pitching performance to accompany the offensive prowess of the Panther softball team. The freshmen pitching duo of Fronk and Kendall Watson combined to throw a no-hitter, with the only blemish being a walk in the fifth inning. The win moved Fronk to 12-2 this season.
The Panther offense scored in every inning of game two and started with four runs in the top of the first. Both of the earned runs in the inning were off singles, one from Bassett and the other from junior Jordan Allen. BSC matched the four-run output of the first with another four in the second. The final run of the inning was tallied when senior Ronni Ferris came across after a Fernandez triple. Panther scoring was wrapped up in the fifth with a double from freshman Elizabeth Ballew that scored Bassett and Berkopec.
Birmingham-Southern's offense was paced by Bassett's game-high four hits and two RBI, which was matched by two RBI from Ferris.

I would like to propose a vote of confidence for the humble anchovy.
Now I can hear you already going 'yuck', 'ptthth' and 'erk' over your oatmeal, but really people – a little fishy salt never hurt anyone, and it can add so much oomph to all sorts of things.
Bland pasta becomes a zingy little tongue tap dance when accompanied by olives, tomato sauce and anchovies. Despite its name – pasta a la puttanesca, meaning pasta of the whore– it really is a tasty and most ladylike treat.
I can make you a fabulous dip called bagna cauda – another little Italian treat meaning hot bath, which uses a truck load of garlic, oil and mashed anchovies. Rather than your bathing in it, you lovingly bathe bread in it and it is simply divine. And I'm telling you, you wouldn't even know that the little anchovy is even there.
My darling mother used to make me sardine and anchovy sandwiches, although I will admit I was quite grateful that these were consumed in-house, and did not make the trek with me to school, there to sit in my suitcase or locker in greater than refrigerator temperature until lunchtime.
So it is always with wry humor when I call to order a chicken and bacon stuffed pizza from Papa Murphys. They know me up there by now, whether it's by my accent (which, by the way, they find adorable), or by my added topping order I am yet to divine.
You know the deal with added toppings, right? Extra cheese – and you get a handful of the stuff. Extra mushrooms, and several mushrooms are sliced and added in your honor. Ask for anchovies, and there is a slightly startled pause, always followed by a bewildered search for the correct button to push on the cash register. I just laugh and tell them to look for the 'nuclear waste' section which naturally, goes right over the head of my helper.
No anchovies are added to the pizza at all. Rather, you get the entire can, carefully sealed in plastic wrap just in case the little buggers try to escape, at the fantastic price of $1. I suspect the pizza constructor actually dons a chemical waste suit, coupled with shoulder length fire-proof, acid-proof, radioactive chemical resistant gloves, just to get the can off the shelf so it can be added to the order.
Sir, naturally, is totally appalled that I should sully my half of the pizza with anchovies, and it was with a laugh as I watched him, at our Little Hot Tamale's insistence, that he assembled the extra topping on our take and bake pie. He was trying to use kitchen tongs to get them out of the can – a little like using a jackhammer to mash potatoes. No part of the contents of that can was going to desecrate his petal soft skin, let me tell you.
Now if I was trying to add sugar and chocolate to the pizza that would be another thing entirely.

Research examines how fast ice sheets respond to climate change
By CHARLOTTE HSU
Published September 17, 2012
A new Arctic study in the journal Science is helping to unravel an important mystery surrounding climate change: how quickly glaciers can melt and grow in response to shifts in temperature.
According to the new research, glaciers on Canada's Baffin Island expanded rapidly during a brief cold snap about 8,200 years ago. The discovery adds to a growing body of evidence showing that ice sheets reacted rapidly in the past to cooling or warming, raising concerns that they could do so again as the Earth heats up.
"One of the questions scientists have been asking is how long it takes for these huge chunks of ice to respond to a global climate phenomenon," says study co-author Jason Briner, UB associate professor of geology. "People don't know whether glaciers can respond quickly enough to matter to our grandchildren, and we're trying to answer this from a geological perspective by looking at Earth's history.
"What we're seeing," he adds, "is that these ice sheets are surprisingly sensitive to even short periods of temperature change."
Briner's colleagues on the study include lead author Nicolás Young, who worked on the study as part of his PhD at UB and is now a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory; Dylan H. Rood of the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre and the University of California-Santa Barbara; and Robert C. Finkel of UC Berkeley.
The research found that mountain glaciers on Baffin Island, along with a massive North American ice sheet, expanded quickly when the Earth cooled about 8,200 years ago.
The finding was surprising because the cold snap was extremely short-lived: The temperature fell for only a few decades and then returned to previous levels within 150 years or so.
"It's not at all amazing that a small local glacier would grow in response to an event like this, but it is incredible that a large ice sheet would do the same," Young says.
To conduct the research, Briner led a team to Baffin Island to read the landscape for clues about the pre-historical size and activity of glaciers that covered the island.
Moraines—piles of rocks and debris that glaciers deposit while expanding—provided valuable information. By dating these and other geological features, the scientists were able to deduce that glaciers expanded rapidly on Baffin Island about 8,200 years ago, a period coinciding with a short-lived cold snap.
The researchers also found that Baffin Island's glaciers appeared to have been larger during this brief period of cooling than during the Younger Dryas period, a much more severe episode of cooling that began about 13,000 years ago and lasted more than a millennium.
This counterintuitive finding suggests that unexpected factors may govern a glacier's response to climate change.
With regard to Baffin Island, the study's authors say that while overall cooling may have been more intense during the Younger Dryas, summer temperatures actually may have decreased more during the shift 8,200 years ago. These colder summers could have fueled the glaciers' rapid advance, decreasing the length of time that ice melted during the summer.
Detailed analyses of this kind will be critical to developing accurate models for predicting how future climate change will affect glaciers around the world, Briner says.
The study was funded by the National Science Foundation.

RIO's Tropical OutBound Short series of lines are designed for fishing in hot climates. A short, aggressive front taper easily casts large and weighted flies very long distances, while the powerful head design loads rods deeply and efficiently for effortless casts. A range of densities make this a very versatile line series. Each line features RIO's XS technology for super slick performance, and is built with a hard, tropical coating that ensures the line does not wilt in the heat.
About Rio Fly Line Technologies:
Every fly fisherman is looking for a slicker line, and for good reason. Slicker line means longer casts, which is something all anglers strive to achieve. XS Technology is the latest development from RIO's lab coats that focuses on creating an ultra slick line, with dirt-repelling tendencies.
XS (Extreme Slickness) Technology began when RIO's chemists began reformulating conventional chemical combinations. Although RIO's formulas were great, our scientists are fly fishers, and by definition they want an even slicker fly line - it's just part of the deal. So first, they tackled the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating and through intense scrutiny down to the polymeric mix level, (say that 10 times fast) they defined some fundamental limitations. Out went the old PVC/silicone formulas and by methodically adding a little more of this, a little less of that, and a pinch of secret sauce, the lab coats cooked up a completely new and improved recipe.
With XS Technology, RIO has developed a fly line that is slicker, more stable, and far less apt to attract dirt, and paired with AgentX Technology, it engineers a line that is less dense, casts further and more accurately, floats higher, lasts longer, and offers more consistent performance cast after cast, strike after strike, fish after fish.

The Twin Paradox
Dave Thomas
Skeptical Inquirer Volume 29.5, September / October 2005
The "twin paradox" is not a paradox in the sense of a logical contradiction that falsifies relativity but rather a very curious puzzle. Traditionally, the twin paradox is concerned with the strange result that if one of two twin brothers leaves the other and embarks on a high-speed journey to a remote point and back again, the twins will no longer be the same age. Let's call these hypothetical twin brothers A and B. For this discussion, we'll stipulate that A stays home while B travels away from his brother at a speed of 60 percent of the speed of light (0.6c, where c is the speed of light, nearly 300 million meters per second). B travels for fifteen years by A's reckoning then quickly decelerates to a stop, turns around, and quickly accelerates back to 0.6c in the direction toward his brother, A. After another fifteen years (again, by A's reckoning), B arrives home, decelerates, and rejoins his brother, who has aged thirty years since he last saw B. The "paradox" is that, even though A's velocity relative to B is the same as B's velocity relative to A, B will have experienced only twenty-four years of travel and find himself six years younger than his twin brother, A.
While this is indeed puzzling, it is not a logical flaw in relativity. The twins do not have similar experiences during B's long journey, and that resolves the "paradox." (While the fiction of very short deceleration/acceleration periods is useful to keep this discussion from getting into general relativity theory, it should be noted that such accelerations would almost certainly reduce twin B to a thin red puddle. It would take weeks to make the velocity changes at tolerable accelerations, say 5 to 10 g. See my accompanying sidebar "On Problems with Near-light-speed Travel" for more on this type of difficulty.) The journey of B, as viewed by twin A, is depicted in figure 1.
The workings of the "Twin Paradox" can be explained with the aid of space-time diagrams. A space-time diagram for the stay-at-home twin, A, appears in the left half of figure 2. The grid marks show years on the vertical axis and distance in light-years on the horizontal axis. The thick lines represent A's and B's positions over time, while the thin lines with arrows represent the paths of light beams sent between the twins. During the fifteen years (in A's frame of reference) of outbound travel by twin B, B gets out to a distance of nine light-years (0.6c315 years) from twin A. However, signals or light rays sent from B's turnaround point won't even reach A for another nine years, or until twenty-four years (15+9) after B's departure. That is, A will see his brother B recede for twenty-four years, and then approach for just six years, arriving thirty years after his initial departure.
This is in marked contrast to B's observations: B will see his stay-home brother recede for twelve years. After B turns around, he will see A approaching for twelve years and will return a total of twenty-four years after his departure. However, the same interval is thirty years by A's calendar. The difference is that, during the short but intense accelerations experienced by B, B's velocity relative to the universe (and to A) is changing. Twin B effectively "loses synch" with the rest of the universe, including his twin brother, A. Twin B is not in an inertial reference frame over the entire trip—and his bouts with intense accelerations will certainly remind him of that fact. Of course, A won't be aware of B's velocity changes until many years later.
The space-time diagrams for B's journey appear on the right of figure 2. These can't be represented as a single diagram, because they are views of two different inertial frames (B outbound versus B inbound). The twin that undergoes acceleration will be the one who returns home younger than his stay-at-home brother. The loss of synchronization due to acceleration is the key and the reason it's not a logical "paradox."
Figure 2: Twin paradox space-time diagrams for stay-at-home twin A (left) and traveler B (right).
This point is crucial: the time discrepancies between the twins are absolutely real. Here is a quick example, presented with the "radar method": since any radar beams sent from A meet the target (B) at only one point in space-time, those beams must spend equal times outbound and inbound with respect to the sender. Figure 2 shows that a radar beam emitted by twin A at his time of two years will be reflected from B at some unknown time, and received again by A when his (A's) calendar reads eight years. Likewise, a beam emitted by twin A at four years will be reflected from B and received by A when his calendar reads sixteen years.
Twin A can calculate the time and distance (in A's frame of reference) of reflections from B, knowing only his own sending and receiving times and that the signals propagate at the speed of light. Since A's two-year pulse returns at eight years, the reflection occurred (by A's calendar) at the midpoint of the send/receive times, (2+8)/2=5 years. Since A's four-year pulse returns at sixteen years, the reflection occurred at (4+16)/2=10 years by A's calendar. Therefore, A measures the interval between these reflections (at five years and ten years) as being five years long.
Because the twins are separating rapidly, there will be a delay in B's receipt of A's transmissions. In particular, while A's transmissions were sent two years apart by his clock, they were received by B over an interval longer than two years, say, K*2 years, where K is a factor greater than 1. However, the same must hold true for B's "transmissions" back to A: whatever period separates the reflections from B's craft, A's measurement of receiving times will be longer—in fact, precisely K times longer—since B is moving away from A exactly as fast as A recedes from B ("relativity"). So, A's original pulses were sent two years apart; these were received by B at K*2 years apart and received again by A at K*K*2 years apart, or eight years. Clearly, K must equal 2, and B's interval between receipt of A's two signals must be 2*2=4 years, while A's measurement of the time for the pulses to return from B is K*4=8 years, as required. This is how "Time Dilation" comes to be measured by twin A: the five-year interval that A experiences in his own frame of reference takes only four years in B's frame of reference.
