The soccer drills listed below are age specific soccer drills for Under 5 U5 Soccer Drills, Under 6 U6 Soccer Drills, Under 7 U7 Soccer Drills, Under 8 U8 Soccer Drills, Under 9 U9 Soccer Drills, Under 10 U10 Soccer Drills, Under 11 U11 Soccer Drills, Under 12 U12 Soccer Drills, Under 13 U13 Soccer Drills, Under 14 U14 Soccer Drills, Under 15 U15 Soccer Drills, Under 16 U16 Soccer Drills, Under 17 U17 Soccer Drills, Under 19 U19 Soccer Drills, Soccer Games and Soccer Training Sessions.
The T-Cone soccer dribbling drill is a great drill to focus on dribbling with speed, controlled touches, turns, and fitness.
A 7v7 scrimmage is a great way to end most of your training sessions. The 7 vs 7 allows players to focus on team tactics in realistic training situations and respond to problems presented in the full-sided game.
This drill focuses on the U6 and U8 player and their ability to dribble out of pressure. This drill can be used to focus on the player using their body to protect the ball by placing their body in between the ball and the defender.
This 1v1 drill focuses on a passing combination with movement off the ball and finishes with a one vs. one to goal. If players miss they become the keeper and the game continues. Players love the fun, competitive twist of being able to make a player become a goalkeeper.
This soccer dribbling drill is a great soccer drill using a Pugg Goal that can be tweaked to focus on many aspects of the game. For younger players ages 8-11, the primary focus should be on proper dribbling technique in traffic which requires vision and awareness. The coach can also focus on the transition from offense to defense if the ball is lost, or recovering from a tackle and finding safety. Defensively, this allows defenders to steal the ball from attackers and play to a particular goal or target.
This is a fun game for 2 through 4-year-olds. This will focus on agility, vision, and awareness, but best of all, it's fun.
In Soccer, 4v4 is the smallest version of a full-sided game. While on the attack, to be successful in a four vs. four matches, players must penetrate via the pass, dribble, or shot; players must provide support to the player with the ball, and players need to create width to the field. On the defensive side of the field, players must provide pressure to the ball, delay the attack, cover for the player pressuring the ball, and balancing the field of play. This 4v4 practice focuses on all aspects of the match including attacking, defending, passing, receiving, support, penetration, and spreading the field.
A FUN soccer drill for younger players (U6, U7, and U8) to introduce dribbling, looking up and correctly striking the ball at a target. And best of all, it's a fun soccer game for the players and coach!
This soccer drill is designed to focus on young soccer players learning to dribble in tight spaces. This dribbling drill will help young players keep their eyes up and to become aware of their surroundings. This soccer drill also helps players keep close possession while dribbling.
The Four Corners Passing Game is a great soccer passing drill to focus on changing the point of the attack, and timing of runs and passes.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In what has become an annual Labor Day weekend tradition, MIT will host its annual water polo Invitational in the Zesiger pool this weekend, welcoming local foes Brown University and Harvard University, in addition to the squad from California Baptist University. The host Engineers will square off against all three teams on Saturday, September 3, beginning with a match-up against the Crimson at 9:00 a.m. Cal Baptist also draws each of the three opponents, while Brown and Harvard will both play a pair of games.
The Cardinal and Gray begin an era of new leadership this weekend, as Mark Lawrence takes over the reins as head coach for the departed Adam Foley. Lawrence inherits an experienced squad that returns five of its top seven scorers from a year ago, including the reigning Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division Rookie of the Year, Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.). Also returning for his fourth season in net for the Engineers is senior goalkeeper, Columbus Leonard (Mill Valley, Calif.), who already holds a plethora of program records.
The Brown Bears are coming off a successful 2010 campaign that saw them advance to the title game of the CWPA Northern Championship and finish fifth at the Eastern Championship. Leading scorer Svetozar Stefanovic returns and will look to pace the Bears' attack again this year.
Harvard earned a fifth-place finish at the Northern Championship last year but will need to replace an excellent senior class, losing its three leading scorers from a year ago to graduation. The Crimson will look for senior goalkeeper, Alexandre Popp, to provide leadership to a young squad that features 10 freshmen or sophomores on its roster.
Cal Baptist had one of its most successful seasons in program history in 2010, advancing to the championship game of the NAIA Invite and winning a program-record 32 games but will need to replace departed All-American, Aaron Steiger.

Straight from the Gor-SL forums (and my head) I bring to these forums... the Skies of Gor! It's going to be my own little miniseries based loosely on my roleplay and what I have learned about Gor and it's society. Bear in mind this first short is the end of the series, and everything else is what leads up to these events.
Comments, questions, and anything else is EXTREMELY WELCOME!
Short #1: Progress
Loki sighed and grabbed her 'secret project'. She had been working on it for a while now, and the other merchants were rather curious as to what the 'Tiny Man-Child' would do today, as it was the day that she claimed her project would be done.
Two weeks ago, she had drunkenly declared that the saddles used for high tharlarion were ridiculously made, bulky, and hard to sit in without wanting to just ride bareback. Her boss, the Head Merchant, had asked 'Well why not make your own?' She had accepted the challenge, and after a morning of agonizing over whether to follow through with it or not, she decided having something to do other than ferrying goods sounded perfect. So, after asking for two weeks off, and buying various hides from the VT Panthers, she had set to work.
She drew on her memories of horse riding gear, as well as riding straps from Earth rodeos, carriage harnesses, and various Tarn saddles. The end result was a rather simple affair; A small 'saddle', little more than a bit of padded bosk leather would lay across the lizard's back, while two sets of straps, two in the front and two in the middle, would buckle around the neck and barrel respectively. Directly behind the neck straps were large iron rings, one sewn on each side with goatskin and binding thread, to tie carrying sacks, bells or [she knew this would be how it would mostly be used for] a way to keep a captive near.
Aside from the iron rings and saddle straps, this saddle was unique in that instead of stirrups, loops of tightly-braided leather were attached to each saddle strap, linking them together while allowing for multiple handholds and footholds. There was also a single thick leather strap, sewn vertically into the saddle where a pommel would normally be, as well as two large pouches sewn into the sides of the saddle, behind the barrel straps and on either side of the pommel strap. Each pouch was made of tharlarion leather, like the straps and was one-fourth the size of the saddle, with a deep pocket on the inside. All in all, this saddle was meant to be multipurpose, used for racing, as well as for battle, casual travel, trade and hunting.
Now she just had to test it out.
Half an hour later she was clinging for dear life to the pommel strap, trying not to fall off as her tharlarion Drail ran through the tall grass like his tail was on fire. She had made the entirety of the saddle, harness and bags light- Too light, so much that to her tharlarion, it was like there was nothing but a little weight of equally little consequence. She had work to do, but first, she had to get off this death ride.
"Slow down, damn you!" Lokiande hissed. "Slow d- Augh!" And she was flung from the saddle, weightless in the air but a moment before gravity remembered what down meant. Then she was on the ground, wheezing while Drail shook himself and turned frantically in a circle, snapping and clawing at the saddle she had worked nearly two weeks on.
She had meant to force a turn, and thus, a stop. What she hadn't counted on was Drail using that turn as a springboard, leaping and actually bucking forward at the same time. Now winded, she staggered to her feet, watching in horror as Drail spun about, tearing at the saddlebags like a beast possessed. Two weeks of work was being ripped apart like a sugar high brat would tear open their birthday gifts, or bash open a piñata.
"Well that's just gre-"
"Tal there, Tiny Man-Child!" a familiar voice called from above. Drail paused in his destruction to hiss at the Incoming Flying Object.
And there goes the rest of my day, she thought to herself. Scowling, she shaded her eyes from the midday sun, looking up as a Tarnsman landed his mount, giving the traditional hand motion almost as an afterthought. This Tarnsman was about average for a man of Gor; that is to say broad-shouldered, built like a tank, and with an unmistakable air of smug confidence that would make anyone on Earth want to punch him. His eyes stared at all he did not yet own as if it would be his, casually assessing and looking over everything like a hungry lion.
He was Mikkel, an up-and-coming Tarnsman. A visitor from Ko-Ro-Ba, he had come in late summer to the City-State of Tharna to see if the rumors of a Tatrix brought low and banners waving were true. Instead, he had been met with Lokiande, among other things. A few hours, a visit to the Tatrix, and the strange food Loki called "a ham, cheese and lettuce sandwich- Hey! That's my… Lunch." later, they had a sort of uneasy alliance going, and Loki found herself stuck with the above nickname.
Now he was just a slightly annoying, if overbearing friend. Who was heading her way with a weird look on his face. And doing a poor imitation of a gentlemen's bow. Then he straightened, and gave her a rather serious look.
"Hay-loo thar! How is it hanging out, bro?"
Why oh why had she agreed to teach him English?
"So, you made a new saddle."
"And in under an hour, you almost got killed by your tharlarion. One that is usually quite docile."
"… Yes."
"How does this not raise any concern on your part?!"
"Uh… Because I don't really care?."
"How is that reassuring?!"
Another day, another dollar. Sort of. As it turned out, Lokiande's 'secret project' had not stayed secret for long. She and Mikkel, after dropping off her tharlarion at the stables, had headed into the city to work up new designs over some pastries. What they had not counted on was meeting an irate Head Merchant, who had immediately dragged her over to the Physician's, Mikkel following behind with an amused grin plastered across his face. And after the Greencaste member had checked over the rider, Mikkel watched from a nearby stool as Loki got the tongue lashing of her life.
"Tharlarion rider or not, Merchant or not, you are still a Freewoman! You can't just go off and do something so damn foolish and not expect to get in trouble!" The man yelled angrily.
"I dont give a damn!" Loki snapped back. "You're not my father, so stop acting like one, you stupid old man!"
The sound of a slap echoed in the suddenly quiet room, and it was a moment before Mikkel realized what had happened. Loki sat on the bench, head tilted slightly to the side and cheek reddening, eyes wide with shock. The head Merchant Isan stood before her, lowering his hand.
"…Very well, then." He replied quietly, "If that is what you wish."
The room suddenly felt cold. Cold and thick with a heavy silence. The physician had long since gone, and Lokiande felt she had made a grave mistake.
"As you are my ward, I have been lenient with you. Too lenient, it seems."
Isan was pacing back and forth, slowly like a larl on the hunt. Then, he stopped before the young merchant on the bench, pinning her with his glare. Analyzing and sizing her up. Mikkel said nothing. Friend to her he may be, but above all else, he was a Warrior of Koroba, a Tarnsman of Gor. He knew that look, for he had given it many times to the chattel being sold in the streets, or dancing in the taverns, giving their all to pleasure him and his comrades, begging to be owned.
For a single moment, he felt... Upset, of all things. Fearful for what could become of her. Then it passed and he was once more a man of Gor. It was only natural, he reasoned, for a man to want a woman; too, it was natural for the women, the weak and beautiful to want a strong master. Surely that was why she had told the Head Merchant to stop acting like her father. That and no other reason.
"I have allowed you to go about in men's clothing, unveiled, handling weapons and teaching others their proper usage and care. I have allowed you a tharlarion, and leave to roam where you will so long as the message or package got delivered. Clearly, it was a mistake."
Panic welled up in her chest, and she wanted to run, to leave, to fly away from what she knew was something inescapable. It roared and came at the woman like a black tidal wave in her mind, sending her innermost self screaming in terror. So, she sat on the bench, frozen with such fear that she almost missed what was said next.
"What...?" She rasped. Distantly, she realized that she hadn't even had a drink since that morning.
"This time tomorrow, you ascend the auction block."
The Head Merchant, Isan, watched in silence as the Auctioneer began to talk of his newest item to be sold. The crowd below the block murmured amongst themselves, openly curious as he listed off its attributes.
"This kajira is a barbarian, an untrained thing brought from the far off land of earth! A former outlaw, I now bring before you... Hazel Locks!" And up the steps was brought none other than Lokiande.
Not Lokiande, Isan reminded himself. The slave. It is just a slave, and nothing more.
"See this hair, silken and soft as down. It is short, so the master may grow it out as he wishes. Too, this slave is well tanned, well worked. Note the healthy glow of her skin, and the fullness of her breasts!" Here, Desik lifted a silken-clad breast, squeezing it. The slave gave a small groan, and shifted her feet. "It is also an 'unopened' girl, untouched by a single hand!"
The audience began shouting prices.
Isan heard a throat being cleared, and turned from his musings to face Mikkel. The warrior had a small rucksack strapped to his back, along with the standard gladius and shield. His tarnwhistle hung round his neck, and his helmet was tucked under one arm.
"You are leaving." It was not a question.
"Yes." He replied, glancing at the block. She was bent in the pose of the she-quadraped now, and Desik was leading her about. She did not resist even the slightest pull.
"She is taking this rather well, Rarius. As are you." Isan muttered. Mikkel snorted derisively and the other raised an eyebrow.
"It, Head Merchant. Just a slave, and nothing more."
"...Who are you trying to convince, Warrior? Me or yourself?" Isan had tured fully to face Mikkel, who looked like he was contemplating murder. He gripped his helmet tightly, hard enough that it seemed he would draw blood. Then he stopped, calm as the blue skies above.
"It asked me to kill yesterday, after you left." Mikkel said suddenly. Isans eyes widened a fraction, nearly spinning like a top in his efforts to catch a glimpse of the girl that just yesterday, he had considered sending to Sulport to work on trade skills. She was bought now, by a Tharna local named Bael. He could afford the upkeep and training, and doubtless, wanted to perform the Rites of Submission soon.
Isan just wanted this day to be over. "What did you mean, she -it- asked you to kill?" He probed carefully.
"Simple, Isan. The woman asked for death, and if I could not do so, to break her. Make her forget, so that whoever bought her could do as he wished, without herself and her foolishness in the way."
"And you broke her; Rather well, it seems."
"Indeed. I asked the healer if there were any substances to 'close' a female. There was a small drink they were to be selling soon. It worked well for the purpose. What is being led from the block is the result of a sleepless night, and one well spent!" He laughed, and it was a harsh sound. Isan turned back to the auction block, and saw Bael's oldest slave, Kef walking to her master with a rolled up red rug under one arm, yellow cords held in her grasp.
The crowd had spread out, now, watching intently. Isan turned away to order some blackwine, and Mikkel began to walk away, down the path and to the gates. Doubtless, he would call his tarn and leave for the last time.
"As it should be," Isan said as he waited for his drink. By the time it had been given to him, the ritual phrases were coming to an end.
"...by the laws of Tharna do I claim you.
Remember you were free.
Know now you are my slave.
Weep, Slave Girl."

From cute and sassy, to downright scary, halloween has arguably become the nation's second most popular holiday. It's also become one of the most expensive, giving even Saint Nick himself a run for his money.
"I really wish that more people would realize the 'reason for the season,' but halloween just seems to be more fun these days," said local halloween enthusiast Kristian Miles.
The National Retail Federation said around 170 million Americans will get into the ghostly and ghoulish spirit this year, spending an estimated $8 billion.
"Oh it's growing, people are into it. They like to enhance a part of their personality they might not feel comfortable doing it any other time of the year," said Spirit Halloween employee Anthony Buoni.
Buoni has worked at Spirit Halloween off West 15th Street for three year and said it's never been busier.
"Oh it gets pretty crazy, people come in, they're busy, they're shopping, they're trying on costumes," said Buoni.
But it's no longer about just costumes, decorations are also a big money maker. In fact, some people forego the costumes altogether. Miles said she's in it solely for the creepiest and most blood curdling props.
"What is it about halloween that makes you go crazy?" asked NewsChannel 7's Bryan Anderson.
"Watching people get the wits scared out of them," answered Miles.
There are the sophisticated and pricey decorations. One prop at Spirit Halloween was going for close to $200. But for those looking to save, Miles said you can still go all out on a budget.
"What we try to do is we take the smaller things that actually look creepier than some of the more expensive things and animate them ourselves," said Miles.
What do you think about halloween? Do you like it more than Christmas? Spend more money on it? Weigh in by leaving a comment on this story. Trick or Treat!

State of the Union 2014 fact check
President Barack Obama's State of the Union address prodded Congress to act on issues like immigration and economic inequality, with a warning that he won't hesitate to act unilaterally if lawmakers drag their feet.
But the real audience wasn't the lawmakers in the chamber. The president was trying to sell his policies and his leadership to tens of millions of people watching at home.
Story Continued Below
With that rare, outsized audience comes the temptation for the president to put some spin on his arguments that might not otherwise fly or gain traction in Washington.
( Full coverage of the 2014 State of the Union)
Here's POLITICO's analysis of some of the key parts of Obama's speech, and where the truth may have been shaped or even stretched in the process:
Obamacare numbers game
Obama: "More than 9 million Americans have signed up for private health insurance or Medicaid coverage."
Technically, Obama's right — those are the latest figures released by the Obama administration. In the context of the speech, though, a casual listener could get the impression that all those people got health coverage for the first time because of Obamacare — and that's not certain yet.
There's no question that enrollment has been going better since the launch. Last week, the administration announced that 3 million people have signed up for private coverage through Obamacare's health insurance exchanges. That's a huge leap over the 106,000 who had signed up in October, the first month of enrollment.
The catch, though, is that it's not yet clear how many of those people were uninsured — and gained coverage for the first time — and how many were just replacing old insurance, such as policies that were canceled because they didn't meet Obamacare standards.
There were probably some uninsured people among the 6 million Americans who have gained coverage under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program since October — but again, it's not clear how many of those signups can be directly linked to Obamacare.
( PHOTOS: Scenes from State of the Union 2014)
USA = No. 1?
Obama: "And for the first time in over a decade, business leaders around the world have declared that China is no longer the world's number one place to invest; America is."
That depends on which business leaders you talk to.
The White House cited a A.T. Kearney survey as the basis for Obama's remark, noting the United States indeed landed at the top of the global consulting firm's list for expected foreign direct investment based on the responses from 300 executives in 28 countries.
But the United States doesn't fare anywhere near as well in other prominent business analysis.
Forbes' annual report on the best country to do business put Ireland at the top, while the U.S. landed at No. 14. It fell thanks to Washington-driven business regulations, "excessive tax burden" and the Federal Reserve's "easy-money program, which has distorted prices and risked long-term inflation."
India, Brazil, China and Canada all outpaced the United States in an Ernst & Young survey released in November of 1,600 senior executives from more than 70 countries. And the Milken Institute – which measures countries on 67 variables, including economic fundamentals and regulations — put the United States at No. 22, behind Hong Kong (No. 1), Estonia (No.11) and France (No. 21).
( WATCH: State of the Union video coverage)
Climate trends
Obama: "Taken together, our energy policy is creating jobs and leading to a cleaner, safer planet. Over the past eight years, the United States has reduced our total carbon pollution more than any other nation on Earth."
It's certainly been a good stretch for the stars and stripes. But the party may be over.
The U.S. energy sector's carbon dioxide emissions actually ticked up 2 percent last year, the country's first annual increase in three years, according to new Energy Information Administration data released earlier this month.
And the reason for the ups and downs had little to do with the policies Obama put in place and much to do with industry trends tied to the good old marketplace of supply and demand.
Just look at the EIA report: Natural gas prices had hit a historic low in 2012, part of a longer trend that led to the major emission cuts Obama took credit for. But those prices also started to tick back up, pushing electric utilities to burn more coal – and in turn pollute more.

Kind of Bloop: An 8-Bit Tribute to Miles Davis
What would the pioneers of jazz sound like on a Nintendo Entertainment System? Coltrane on a C-64? Mingus on Amiga? For years, I've wondered what "chiptune jazz" would sound like, but there are only a tiny handful of jazz covers ever made.
To satisfy my curiosity — and commemorate the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" — I've asked five brilliant chiptune musicians to collaborate and reinvent the entire album in the 8-bit sound.
The lineup, in alphabetical order: Ast0r (Chris J. Hampton) Disasterpeace (Rich Vreeland) Sergeeo (Sergio de Prado) Shnabubula (Samuel Ascher-Weiss) Virt (Jake Kaufman)
To create this album, I hope to raise $2,000 to pay royalties, pay the artists, and print CDs. Legally releasing cover songs requires paying mechanical licenses to the song publishers through the Harry Fox Agency, totaling about $420 for every 250 downloads and a $75 processing fee. I'll be using the remainder to print a very limited run of CDs for Kickstarter backers, and split the rest evenly among the five musicians for their painstaking work. (This is a labor of love for me, so I won't be keeping a dime.)
I hope to have the entire album download ready for Kind of Blue's 50th birthday on August 17. (Printing and shipping CDs will take longer.)
All project backers will get exclusive first access to the album download before anyone else in the world, and exclusive updates during the album's creation. Backers donating $30 or more will receive an extremely limited-edition CD, printed only for this Kickstarter project. Once the August 1 deadline is reached, the CD will never be sold again!
Track Listing (Tentative):
1. So What - Ast0r
2. Freddie Freeloader - Virt
3. Blue in Green - Sergeeo
4. All Blues - Shnabubula
5. Flamenco Sketches - Disasterpeace

The SARRACS remote racking system can prevent injury or death during breaker change out. The portable system allows operators to rack breakers from 40 ft away, well beyond their flash boundary. It is programmable to different torque profiles and mechanical requirements and features digital position control for accurate breaker engagements. Without remote racking, operators are vulnerable to explosions, even if wearing required full-body flash suits.

By Chuck Slothower, The Daily Times
FARMINGTON — Mesa Verde National Park is struggling with dozens of feral horses and cattle that have moved into the park, trampled archaeological sites, charged at park employees and intimidated visitors.
Mesa Verde announced the beginning of a public comment period Thursday that could lead to a roundup of the horses later this year.
The national park in southwest Colorado has 100 to 150 horses in and near the park's borders, and 10 to 20 cattle, said Betty Lieurance, a National Parks Service spokeswoman.
The horses have trampled the surface of archaeological sites, run off native deer and elk and behaved aggressively toward workers and tourists, said Paul Morey, Mesa Verde's wildlife program manager.
"We've had employees and some visitors that have been chased by horses," he said.
Last year, an employee was driving in the park when she rounded a curve and hit a horse, totaling the vehicle, he said.
Park officials have documented about 20 sites that were damaged by horses. Many of the park's lesser-known archaeological sites are easy for the horses to disturb, Morey said.
"Most of the archaeological sites are not as obvious as the Cliff Palace," he said. "They're getting into these sites and trampling them."
Mesa Verde is developing a management plan to deal with the problem. The comment period began Thursday and ends Feb. 28.
Feral horses pose problems throughout the West, but rarely do they settle in areas as sensitive as Mesa Verde.
The national park is home to ancient cliff dwellings that were built by ancestors of several Four Corners tribes.
Mesa Verde is also one of the Four Corners' most popular tourist attractions, hosting 572,000 visitors in 2011.
The horses come from tribal lands to the east, Morey said.
"They're coming from the Ute Mountain Ute tribe," he said. "Since they're unbranded, we can't really force them to come up and get them."
The tribe has conducted roundups in years past, and worked to reduce the wild horse problem. But the tribe is not responsible for Mesa Verde's horses, a Ute Mountain wildlife official said.
"The reality of it is, who could claim ownership of feral horses?" said Jerald Peabody, natural resources director for the tribe. "If they're branded horses, of course the owner would claim them."
Past roundups using local cowboys, ATVs and motorcycles were not cost-effective, Peabody said. A three-year program caught only 278 animals, including horses.
"If you know anything about wild horses, they're strong and fast and they're going to go where they want to go," he said.
Some horse advocates have questioned the use of roundups in the West, saying they stress the horses and are conducted largely to benefit agricultural interests.
Suzanne Roy, director of the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign in Hillsborough, N.C., favors using birth control, typically delivered by a dart.
"Generally, the National Parks does have experience managing horses and keeping them down to a small level using birth control," she said.
Morey said birth control can be difficult to administer because a wildlife officer must get close enough to an animal to fire a dart, and it must be done every year to be effective.
Mesa Verde is considering several options for dealing with the horses, including birth control and roundups, he said.
"It'll depend on what we get from comment and the public," Morey said. "We'll definitely look at all the options to make it the most humane way of doing it."
Rounding up the horses with a helicopter is a last-resort option, and perhaps not an option at all, Morey said.
Helicopter roundups are controversial because they are thought to cause stress to the horses.
Debbie Coburn of Four Corners Equine Rescue in Flora Vista said she's sympathetic to the park's horse problem. She said a roundup conducted by baiting and trapping the horses in a fenced enclosure is the best option.
Federal and tribal officials have let the problem worsen, Coburn said.
"There has been a lack of management by all parties concerned for years," she said. "There needs to be proactive management. The Parks Service and the Ute tribe need to get their heads together and work on this for the benefit of the horses, for the park and the Ute tribe."

Curtis Mayfield
Twice is nice.
Curtis Mayfield may be a rare double inductee, but his music is also a two-for-one deal: sharp social commentary mixed with compulsively danceable grooves.
Curtis Mayfield is among an elite few members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who have been inducted more than once.
Mayfield was first inducted with the Impressions in 1991 and then as a solo artist in 1999. His solo career, which began in 1970, is significant for the forthright way in which he addressed issues of black identity and self-awareness. He has been cited as an influence by such latter-day performers as Lenny Kravitz, Ice-T, Public Enemy and Arrested Development. Mayfield's ability to voice hard truths through funky, uplifting music has rendered him one of the great soul icons.
In 1968, while still with the Impressions, Mayfield launched the Curtom label (his third, after the Mayfield and Windy C imprints). Two years later, his solo debut, Curtis, appeared. It contained one of his most forthright message songs, "Don't Worry (If There's a Hell Below We're All Going to Go)," and was the first of fourteen albums that he released in the Seventies. Whereas his Sixties work both with the Impressions and as a songwriter-producer defined Chicago soul—a regional scene comparable to Motown in Detroit and Stax in Memphis—Mayfield left his imprint on the Seventies by couching social commentary and keenly observed black-culture archetypes in funky, danceable rhythms. He explained the shift in subject matter as "a feeling in me that there need to be songs that relate not so much to civil rights but to the way we as all people deal with our lives."
Working on a seemingly parallel track with Marvin Gaye circa What's Going On (1971), Mayfield's third solo album, Roots (1971), sounded urgent pleas for peace and brotherhood over extended, cinematic soul-funk tracks that laid out a fresh musical agenda for the new decade. Mayfield's solo career found him giving freer reign to his guitar playing, a choppy, rhythm-based style that owed much to his Chicago blues heritage and a self-devised tuning based on the black keys of the piano. His most popular and lasting work was Superfly (1972), a film soundtrack in which he painted a gritty portrait of black life in America's inner cities. Mayfield struck a creative and commercial motherlode with Superfly's smoldering rock-disco grooves and pointed social commentary. The soundtrack album yielded massive crossover hits in "Freddie's Dead" and "Superfly." Against a hypnotic backdrop of conga drums, strings and wah-wah guitar, Mayfield sang of a high-rolling ghetto drug dealer's lifestyle in a sweet, stinging falsetto. As an aural document, Mayfield's music for this classic "blaxploitation" film anticipated the reality-based rap and hip-hop of the Nineties.
Throughout his career Mayfield also shone brightly as a producer and songwriter for other artists, including soul and R&B giants like Jerry Butler and Major Lance (in the Sixties) and Aretha Franklin, the Staple Singers and Gladys Knight and the Pips (in the Seventies). As a solo artist, he continued to score R&B hits into the mid-Eighties, many of them in a disco vein. Getting back to his roots, Mayfield joined the Impressions in 1983 for a reunion tour and revived his dormant Curtom label in 1990.
A freakish onstage accident in August 1990 left Mayfield paralyzed from the neck down. However, this tragedy did not diminish his spirit or end his career. In 1996 he released his twenty-second solo album, New World Order. In his own words, "How many 54-year-old quadriplegics are putting albums out? You just have to deal with what you got, try to sustain yourself as best you can, and look to the things that you can do." Despite his positive attitude, Mayfield's health steadily deteriorated. He lost a leg to diabetes in 1998 and died a year later at age 57. On that day, the music world lost a man of great talent and conscience. In the words of Aretha Franklin, "Curtis Mayfield is to soul music what Bach was to the classics and Gershwin and Irving Berlin were to pop music."
Inductee: Curtis Mayfield (vocals, guitar; born June 3, 1942, died December 26, 1999)

People often ask me if I feed my cats vegan diet since I am vegan myself. Unfortunately, my cats are NOT vegan. Before you start calling me a devil, a hypocrite or a bad vegan, please, read why I do not believe that cats should be vegan.
I have been working in the holistic pet nutrition field for 7 years now and all my research, personal experience and a common sense point to the fact that cat are carnivores. They need meat in their diet. I love my cats and I do not want to experiment with their health or well-being. I am not going to force my personal beliefs onto my carnivorous cats. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect vegan world. Veganism is a journey and it is not about perfection in every aspect of our lives. We just have to do our best. Veganism is about loving animals, all species. But the animals I love the most and the animals that are the closest to my heart, are my own companion animals. I care about their health, happiness and well-being. I chose to adopt carnivorous animals and that choice came with a dilemma. Should I be an abolitionist vegan and feed them unnatural diets hight in grains and other carbs, or should I feed them animal protein that is essential for their wellbeing?
I believe that humans are omnivores, in a way herbivores, and that we can easily thrive and survive on plant-based diet. There is a lot science behind these beliefs. And there is even more science behind the fact that cats are obligate carnivores. For example, cats do not have enzymes to begin the breakdown of carbohydrates in their mouths. Humans do. Cats do not have mastication (chewing) bones, they gnaw (on raw meat and bones). Humans chew their food before swallowing it. Cat's digestive system is much closer to a tiger's digestive system, everything from the stomach pH levels, length of intestine, to time needed for digesting food, indicates that cats are carnivores. They need animal protein to survive and thrive.
Since cats are obligate carnivores, they don't need carbohydrates in their diet. Those carbohydrates include corn, wheat, soy, rice, barley and other grains. Carbohydrates can cause unneeded fermentation in cat's bowel, which can lead to digestive disorders such as food intolerance, allergies, and inflammatory bowel disease. Some cats can also become diabetic or obese on high carbohydrate diets.
The problem with most commercial vegan and vegetarian cat foods is the high content of grains and other things that they have hard time digesting. Taurine is an essential amino-acid that cats need, and unlike other mammals, cats cannot synthesize their own taurine from other building block amino acids. Diets deficient in taurine can easily result in blindness and heart condition, even a heart failure. If you choose to feed your cat vegetarian or vegan diet, please, at least make sure you supplement the diet with taurine. I do like supplements as a help sometimes, but I am a firm believer in the importance of diet as the main thing.When my cat Bear was eating food with grains (rice and barley), he experienced a very scary bout of IBS. He had a bloody diarrhea for days and was miserable, he was also throwing up tons. The medicine was not helping very much and his problems got worse. He lost a lot of weight and looked horrible. I decided to put him on strictly raw meat diet with some pumpkin and his stool got firm the very next day. He started feeling better and he loved his food. That was the last time I gave him any grain. That was a few years ago and he has not had any diarrhea or belly issues ever since.
As meat eaters, cats need the proper fuel to promote urinary tract function. Calories come from 3 places: protein, fat and carbohydrates. In meat, there is protein and fat, but there are little if any carbohydrates. Therefore, while a cat needs protein and fat, they do not need carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are not metabolically necessary. These carbohydrates can impact the pH level of a cat's urine, thereby creating an environment in which crystals can form.
It is not just important to fuel cats with any protein, cats must eat species appropriate protein, such as animal flesh. Inferior proteins, including by-products and proteins that come from plants, such as corn gluten, wheat gluten and potato protein, may negatively impact urinary pH levels, such.
Proper pH may also help prevent crystal formation. Acids dissolve things. In the case of urinary crystals, along with proper hydration, the acid in the urine will help the components that form those crystals from combining to form crystals.
Most commercial cat foods are full of by-products and additives such as artificial colorings and chemical preservatives that can lead to allergies or other health problems. These foods may smell and look tasty, and your cat may even enjoy them, but they don't offer much in the way of good nutrition. They often contribute to problems such diabetes, kidney disease, dental and digestive issues, skin allergies, hairballs and obesity. Poor quality cat foods may cost less at the register, but more in veterinary care in the long run.The best options for your cats are low carbohydrate, grain-free diets. Because cats were originally desert animals, they tend not to drink as much water as dogs. These desert animals obtained their fluid through eating their prey. This lack of need for drinking water has been carried forward and maintained by our domestic cats. Cats who are fed primarily dry food can get dehydrated. This dehydration can lead to kidney problems. To prevent these problems and insure that your cat gets enough liquid through the day, you should supplement her dry food with either canned or raw food.
Some cats can be sensitive or even allergic to fish. Fish sensitivity often causes vomiting and/or diarrhea. Some cats can even develop urinary disease, including cystitis, crystals and stones.
Cats can be finicky eaters. Think variety when feeding your cat. Rotate brands and protein sources (cats can get bored with eating the same food every day).I feed my Abbey and Bear all-natural, human grade ingredients (no by-product or other funky meat parts), which are also preserved naturally. I feed them foods that are high in antioxidants, probiotics, chelated minerals and skin and coat conditioners, but low in ash and magnesium. I see the great benefits of feeding premium meat-based and grain-free foods, such as less hairballs (rather lack of hairballs, which is a miracle in two long-haired cats), lower stool and urinary odor, and less poop (less litter box scooping). Their coats and beautiful and shiny.

text: In a disturbing interview last night, former child actor Corey Feldman told Nightline that "the No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia." He says the "casting couch" — that is, the rumored tradition of directors and other higher-ups sleeping with young aspiring actresses — existed for child stars too, though it was more veiled. Later in the interview, he said that his friend Corey Haim's suicide could be traced back to abuse at the hands of a "Hollywood mogul." Previously, Feldman had told GQ that he was molested as a child by his own assistant. His allegation that such molestation is ongoing and widespread is a horrifying one.

Mayor of London believes that Greece should be left to go bankrupt and allowed write off many of its debts.
This would probably involve the country leaving the euro and a return to the drachma as a currency.
"It's become so difficult for the Greek productivity has begun to go down rather than up," said Mr Johnson.
"So the ability to repay their debt is actually diminishing rather than increasing."
Greece has been paralysed by strikes and riots in recent weeks.
It is in talks to receive another £100 billion from EU funds as it struggles to avoid defaulting on repayments on last year's rescue package.
The money is likely to be granted on the basis that Greece launches a new, deeper austerity drive.

Children struggle to cope in recession
In one day, Salida Middle School Principal Shannon Kettering encountered three students having difficulty coping with their family's financial struggles.
One child's father joined the military after losing his job and is training in another state before he's deployed overseas.
Another student's family is being evicted from their home. The boy is on a heart monitor and Kettering is concerned about his health.
The third hasn't been eating lunch.
"His parents can't afford it. I told them to apply for free and reduced lunches, but they said they are too proud to do that," Kettering said. "I told them they can't be that proud right now."
The downward-spiraling economy is taking its toll on everyone. Schoolchildren are no exception. Many are too young to understand their parents' struggles, but they notice the tension.
From losing their homes to foreclosure to parents losing jobs, money is tight and the youngsters begin taking on some of the same stress adults grapple with.
Children also must deal with impediments to learning that come from moving too often. Students who move twice in a year are half as likely as others to read proficiently, according to a recent study by First Focus, a nonpartisan group in Washington.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Already one of the most decorated athletes in MIT Women's Track & Field history, Portia Jones has another achievement to add to her resume. The 10-time All-American was named the New England Women's Track Athlete of the Year on Monday by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Jones has now received this honor four consecutive times, during the 2010 Indoor and Outdoor seasons, as well as the 2011 Indoor campaign. Halston Taylor was also named the New England Women's Coach of the Year, marking the second time in three years he has been so honored.
Jones helped lead the Cardinal and Gray to its second New England Division III Championship earlier this year, as the Engineers beat out second-place Williams College by just three and a half points. The junior won the 200 meters and anchored both the 4x100 and 4x400-meter relays. She was also a runner-up in the 100m and 100-meter hurdles. She is entered in all five of those events for the upcoming NCAA Division III National Championship. Jones has won five individual New England Division III titles while also being a part of four regional champion relay squads. She enters Nationals with the third fastest time in the 200m and ninth-best in the 100-meter dash.
Taylor continues to draw recognition for his outstanding work with both the MIT men's and women's programs. He has been named New England Coach of the Year three times in the past three years, once on the men's side, and has garnered numerous conference accolades. He has helped the women's team capture two of the last three New England Division III titles and has led the men to 19 regional crowns.
Jones and Coach Taylor will join Tech's 11 other entrants in the NCAA Division III field, beginning on Thursday, May 26 at Ohio Wesleyan University. The women, who are ranked third nationally entering the Championship, will send nine participants while three men will also make the trip.

"[Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook is] the go-to manual for active people to fuel their exercise endeavors… With
a focus on sports nutrition, you're not focused so much on losing, but on gaining. You're gaining speed, strength and
stamina along with mental acuity and improved wellbeing. Yes, it's also a great recipe for fat loss, but the dropping of
excess poundage, again, is a side benefit rather than a primary focus. And that's what makes it sustainable. Sports
nutrition is about the journey rather than the destination. Diet books come and go, but Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition
Guidebook continues to be the book of choice for those who want to find out what they're physically capable of… [The
book] made all the difference for me. I had done reasonably well in my fitness journey, having lost 30 pounds of fat and
gained a fair amount of muscle, but around 2003 was when I really wanted to up my game. I wanted to get faster and
stronger and leaner. The director of health and fitness programs at the University of Calgary recommended Nancy's book
to me, and that was the start of changing how I viewed everything to do with food and fueling athletic performance. A
decade later I'm a muscular Boston Marathon qualifier who can see his abs. Thanks, Nancy."

Unsustainable and escalating public employee pension costs contributed to bankruptcies in cities like Vallejo and Stockton and that, say initiative supporters, is something he hopes this ballot measure will help other cities avoid.
"I think cities should have the ability, as an alternative to bankruptcy, to make changes to avoid bankruptcy, says San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed. "And the ability to avoid service delivery insolvency to bring down these skyrocketing costs."
But opponents say if the ballot measure passes, it would undermine collective bargaining rights.
"They could undo those promises with a single stroke of the pen unilaterally, says Steve Smith with the California Labor Federation. "They can do it based on a politician's whims or political agenda."
The initiative must be certified by the Attorney General before signature gathering can begin.

Dr. Greene`s Answer:
I am so glad you asked this question. Cold and flu have become an inseparable pair, like salt and pepper or New Year's and weight loss. Walking down the "cold and flu" aisle of any drugstore, you will find stacks of bright boxes with bold claims of help for those suffering from a cold or the flu. Since the two illnesses share some similar symptoms, and both come during "cold and flu season," the two often run together in people's minds. We have a vague idea that they are different, but if pressed, have a hard time saying exactly how. The significant distinctions between these two common conditions elude most of us, but the question is rarely raised.
The symptoms we get during a viral illness are often the body's attempt to get rid of the virus and to minimize damage. Sneezing ejects the virus from the nose, cough from the lungs and throat, vomiting from the stomach, and diarrhea from the intestines. Fever makes it difficult for the virus to reproduce. The topic of viral illnesses will always remain somewhat confusing, since the body has a relatively small number of symptoms with which to respond to an ever-changing, wide variety of viruses. While colds and flus may overlap, the differences between them are important.
The common cold is centered in the nose
Over 200 different types of viruses can cause a cold. Rhinoviruses, which means "nose viruses", are the most common cause. Respiratory syncitial viruses (RSV) and a host of others can produce colds. Of note, influenza viruses occasionally cause illnesses with symptoms of the common cold.
The three most frequent symptoms of a cold are nasal stuffiness, sneezing, and runny nose. Throat irritation is often involved (but not with a red throat). Adults and older children with colds generally have minimal or no fever. Infants and toddlers often run a fever in the 100 to 102 degree range.
Depending on which virus is the culprit, the virus might also produce a headache, cough, postnasal drip, burning eyes, muscle aches, or a decreased appetite, but in a cold, the most prominent symptoms are in the nose. (By the way, forcing a child to eat with a decreased appetite due to a cold is both unnecessary and unhelpful, but do encourage drinking plenty).
If anything, using the term "common" with cold is an understatement. Colds are the most prevalent infectious disease. Children average 3 to 8 colds per year (younger children and boys are on the higher end of the range). Colds occur mostly in the winter (even in areas with mild winters). In areas where there is no winter, colds are most common in the rainy season. Parents get about half as many colds as their children do. Moms tend to get at least one more cold per year than dads.
When someone has a cold, the nasal secretions are teeming with cold viruses. Coughing, drooling, and talking are all unlikely ways to pass a cold. But sneezing, nose-blowing, and nose-wiping are the means by which the virus spreads. You can catch a cold by inhaling the virus if you are sitting close to a sneeze, or by touching your nose, eyes, or mouth after you have touched something contaminated by infected nasal secretions.
Once you have "caught" a cold, the symptoms begin in 1 to 5 days. Usually irritation in the nose or a scratchy feeling in the throat is the first sign, followed within hours by sneezing and a watery nasal discharge.
Within one to three days, the nasal secretions usually become thicker and perhaps yellow or green — this is a normal part of the common cold and not a reason for antibiotics. During this period, children's eardrums are usually congested, and there may well be fluid behind the ears — whether or not the child will end up with a true bacterial infection. Yes, Dr. Zacher, antibiotics are too frequently prescribed for this as well.
The entire cold is usually over all by itself in about 7 days, with perhaps a few lingering symptoms (cough) for another week. If it lasts longer, consider another problem, such as a sinus infection or allergies.
While it lasts, the common cold is primarily a head cold. While you may feel tired or have aches, the illness is centered in the nose, and most of the symptoms are above the neck.
With the flu, you are sick all over
The flu can be a much more serious illness. The most deadly recent worldwide outbreak was the flu epidemic at the beginning of this century and killed more than 20 million people. Even today, more than 36,000 people in the United States die from the flu each year — primarily those who are weak from advanced age or a major illness.
A single family of viruses — the influenza viruses — causes the flu. Most people get the flu once every year or two or three, and the illness is unpleasant but not usually dangerous. Unlike the common cold, both adults and children with the flu generally have a fever.
The flu can take many forms, but I will describe for you the most typical:
Classically, the flu begins abruptly, with a fever in the 102 to 106 degree range (with adults on the lower end of the spectrum), a flushed face, body aches, and marked lack of energy. Some people have other systemic symptoms such as dizziness or vomiting. The fever usually lasts for a day or two, but can last five days.
Somewhere between day 2 and day 4 of the illness, the "whole body" symptoms begin to subside, and respiratory symptoms begin to increase. The virus can settle anywhere in the respiratory tract, producing symptoms of a cold, croup, sore throat, bronchiolitis, ear infection, and/or pneumonia.
The most prominent of the respiratory symptoms is usually a dry, hacking cough. Most people also develop a sore (red) throat and a headache. Nasal discharge and sneezing are not uncommon. These symptoms (except the cough) usually disappear within 4 to 7 days. Sometimes there is a second wave of fever at this time. The cough and tiredness usually lasts for weeks after the rest of the illness is over.
Inhaling droplets from coughs or sneezes is the most common way to catch the flu. Symptoms appear 1 to 7 days later (usually 2-3 days). The flu is airborne and quite contagious, and with its short incubation period it often slams into a community all at once, creating a noticeable cluster of school and work absences. The flu usually arrives in the winter months. Within 2 or 3 weeks of its arrival, most of the classroom has had it.
The other major difference between the common cold and the flu is that the flu is preventable. In any given year, two or three different strains of influenza virus cause most of the flu around the world. Each year, scientists gather extensive global data and formulate a vaccine for the strains anticipated to be the major problems in the coming winter. While the prediction is usually accurate, sometimes new, unanticipated strains arise. In other words, in some years the vaccine works better than in others.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) currently highly recommends the flu vaccine for all children aged 6 months to 18 years, adults aged 50 years or older; persons aged 5–50 years with underlying chronic medical conditions; all women who will be pregnant during the influenza season; residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities; children on chronic aspirin therapy; household contacts to any of the above groups; health-care workers involved in direct patient care; and out-of-home caregivers and household contacts of children aged <6 months. When supplies are sufficient, the CDC recommends vaccination of all persons who want to be vaccinated regardless of risk.
I prefer using versions of the flu vaccine without added thimerosal (a form of mercury) as a preservative. Most kids still get the flu vaccines with extra mercury. You might have to request 'no added mercury' to get the vaccine you want.
A nasal spray flu vaccine is now commercially available for nonpregnant, healthy people who are aged 5-49 years old. Over the next years it may become the more popular mode of flu vaccination due to its painless administration.
Of note, a new vaccine for pandemic H1N1 (initially referred to as the "swine flu" in the media) will be available in mid-late October 2009. This vaccine will be targeted towards the following high risk groups: pregnant women, household contacts or caregivers for infants less than 6 months, healthcare workers and emergency personnel, children and young adults 6 months – 24 years, and persons 25 years – 64 years with underlying medical problems. The number of doses recommended is similar to the seasonal influenza vaccine: a single dose for older children and adults, and two doses for children younger than 8-9 years of age (the exact age depends on the vaccine manufacturer). The pandemic H1N1 vaccine is expected to have a similar safety profile to the seasonal influenza vaccine.
For both seasonal influenza and pandemic H1N1, there is antiviral therapy available, such as Tamiflu or Relenza. However, antiviral agents – as well as hospitalization – are generally reserved for the very youngest, sickest, and highest risk patients.

Another complication of acute ear infections is ongoing inflammation
of the middle ear, a condition called chronic suppurative otitis media. The
major symptom of this condition is repeat or ongoing drainage of pus from the
ear through a small hole in the eardrum. Many children with chronic suppurative
otitis media have some hearing loss. Antibiotic therapy is the usual treatment for
this condition.
The following complications may also develop if there are repeat ear

Tutorial for Creating 3D Transformations
This chapter should make you familiar with the problems one can encounter when one tries to calculate a 3D view of a fractal. At first I have to mention, that you cannot calculate a 3D transformation for all fractal types. For some types this simply doesn't make sense. A first presupposition is that the function which calculates the color for any complex number has to be a continous function to produce reasonable results. Fractal type '24 bit Julia', '24 bit Mandel', 'Plasma' and 'Lyapunov Space' fulfill this presupposition. Other types may produce some results, due to the non continous function there of course are sudden 'jumps' in the height field, which can't be avoided and really look annoying.
My result after playing around with the other parameters looks as follows, perhaps your image is even nicer?

There are no hard feelings between Jimmy Fallon and Jay Leno.
The two late-night comics teamed up to address reports of Fallon taking the helm at "The Tonight Show" with a humorous parody of the "West Side Story" song "Tonight." The sketch took place during a transition between "The Tonight Show" and "Late Night" on Monday.
It starts with the comedy pair in their offices. Shots of newspapers with headlines covering the rumors are strewn about the room. Leno calls Fallon on the phone.
Leno: I've been through this before, you know? Gotta admit, I get a little sick of all this.
Fallon: Jay, can I ask you something? We're still friends, right?
Leno: Of course we're still friends.
And then the singing begins.
Leno belted out lyrics about his success as host. "Tonight, tonight, my ratings were alright," he crooned. "Twenty years and I'm still in first place."
They also fielded doubts about their friendship as they sang in unison to address the naysayers.
"Tonight, tonight, why do they say we fight? I like you, you like me, we're ok!"
The video comes in the wake of unconfirmed reports that Fallon would take over as the host of the long-running "Tonight Show" after Leno's contract ends in the fall of 2014. "The Tonight Show" would be re-located from Burbank, Calif., to New York, where Fallon would take over hosting duties, according to a New York Times report that cited anonymous sources.
NBC has not confirmed any host switch or move to New York, where "The Tonight Show" first was conceived in 1954. The network has said only that construction is underway on a new state-of-the-art studio for Fallon. "Tonight" has been based in Los Angeles since Johnny Carson moved the show to Burbank in 1972.
As for the funny duet, Leno and Fallon may have raised more questions than they answered.
Fallon: In the news all they say is I'm replacing you, they think I can woo the demo.
Leno: So the network says here's an idea, pack your bags, take a hike, NBC.
Fallon: Tonight, tonight, who's going to host tonight? Is it going to be Jimmy or Jay?

BOSTON, Mass.—Bekah Jackson's huge day on both sides of the ball lifted Plymouth State University (16-10, 7-3 Little East) to a doubleheader sweep of host UMass Boston (9-18, 0-8 Little East) Saturday afternoon at the UMB Softball Field.
Jackson finished the day 5-for-7 with three runs, four RBI and a pair of home runs to help the Panthers hand the Beacons a pair of losses on Senior Day.
UMass Boston honored their two senior co-captains Toni Scola (Worcester, Mass.) and Erika Vecchiet (Pequannock, N.J.) immediately following the conclusion of game two. The Class of 2014 has helped UMass Boston reach three-straight Little East Conference Tournaments and ranks third in school history with their 65 career wins.
Vecchiet finished the day tied with Kelsey Svenson (Oxford, Conn.) for the team-high with three hits, while Vecchiet, Scola and Kaitlyn Morse (Arlington, Mass.) accounted for the Beacons' three runs.
Game One: Plymouth State 6, UMass Boston 2
Plymouth State jumped out to a 5-1 lead and held on for a 6-2 victory behind strong performances from Jackson and senior pitcher Nora Galvin.
Jackson went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs and accounted for all four RBI for the Panthers in game one, while freshman Masha Lange added two hits in two at-bats and three runs scored.
Galvin worked her way in and out of trouble all afternoon long, as she stranded eight Beacons runners over seven innings, while allowing just two runs, one earned. The right-handed scattered nine hits and two walks and struck out two batters in her sixth win of the season.
Kristina Bove (Medford, Mass.), Gia Raczkowski (Stoneham, Mass.), Vecchiet and Svenson each finished with two hits in the contest for UMass Boston, with Raczkowski registering the team's lone RBI.
Junior Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.) took the loss after allowing six runs, four earned, over the full seven innings. She tied her season-high with six strikeouts, while walking two Panthers.
Plymouth State took a 2-0 lead in the first thanks to some aggressive base-running and an RBI single from Jackson. With a runner at second and one out, Jackson sent a hard grounder through the right-side that plated Lange to make it 1-0. Jackson stole second and moved over to third on a groundout, before coming home on a passed ball.
The Beacons answered with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning, as Morse belted a one out double to left-center and scampered home from third on a Raczkowski RBI single.
Jackson tacked on her second RBI hit of the day in the third inning, as her pop-up into short left-center field dropped in behind the Beacons' defense for a two-out RBI double.
The Panthers pushed their lead to 5-1 in the top of the fifth thanks to a pair of hit by pitches and a Beacons' error. With the bases loaded full of Panthers, Zullo plunked Jackson to bring in a run with one out. Two pitches later, the Beaconn's pick-off throw to third trickled into left-field allowing Lange to scurry home for her third run of the day.
Plymouth State gifted UMass Boston a run right back, as Vecchiet came home to score on a passed ball by the Panthers' catcher with two down in the bottom of the fifth.
Neither team managed to score any more runs, as Galvin allowed just a single base-hit in the sixth and seventh, en-route to the victory.
Game Two: Plymouth State 4, UMass Boston 1
Game two proved to be a pitcher's duel as Plymouth State's Whitney Roberts and UMass Boston's Jillian Shepherd (Norwood, Mass.) went pitch-for-pitch over the full seven innings.
Jackson once again proved to be the thorn in the Beacons' side, as she finished 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI. Katie Kennard added two hits in two at-bats and a pair of runs for the Panthers who finished the week 7-1 in four doubleheaders.
Freshman first baseman Lauren Mitsiaris (Taunton, Mass.) paced the Beacons with a team-high two hits and a RBI, while Scola added a base-hit and the team's lone run.
Roberts who was a Second Team All-Conference honoree last season, allowed just seven hits and one earned run over seven innings. Shepherd was nearly as good in her first LEC start, as she allowed six hits and four earned runs over seven innings. The Beacons' freshman allowed just one hit and zero runs through the first four innings, before Plymouth State managed to score two runs in the fifth and two more in the seventh.
The first three innings flew by with both pitchers putting up zeroes. UMass Boston had the best chance to score for either side in the bottom of the second, but Lange made a great diving catch in center field to rob Lyndsey Capra (Lowell, Mass.) with the bases full of Beacons.
UMass Boston finally broke through in the bottom of the fourth with one out. Scola singled to center field on a 2-0 pitch and came in to score on the ensuing pitch, when Mitsiaris blasted a double over the center fielder's head.
Plymouth State answered right back though in the fifth inning. With two runners on and one out, Jackson hit a laser into right field to score Lange, with both runners moving up a base on the throw home. Sam Hebert followed with a deep sacrifice fly to left-center to plate Katie Kennard, which made it 2-1 Plymouth State.
The Beacons nearly answered right back in the bottom of the inning, but Roberts stranded a runner on the third base to keep the one-run lead intact.
Jackson put the game out of reach in the top of the seventh when she crushed a two-run shot to deep center-field to push the lead to 4-1.
UMass Boston managed to bring the tying run to the plate in the bottom half of the inning, but Roberts induced a game-ending groundout.
The Beacons will return to action Monday afternoon at Curry College, with the doubleheader beginning at 3:30 p.m.
