|The truth hurts.
— Quote of the Book
Wanted is the eighth book in the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard, which was published on June 8, 2010 by HarperTeen. Aria is featured on the book cover. Under the dust jacket, the front cover of the hardcopy book reads "Be careful what you wish for. -A"
Book Summary
Back Cover Summary
In Rosewood, estates sprawl for acres, and Tiffany toggle bracelets dangle from every girl's wrist. But not all that glitters is gold, and the town harbors secrets darker than anyone could imagine—like the truth about what really happened the night Alison DiLaurentis went missing...
Back in middle school, Ali plucked Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Spencer from obscurity and turned them into the beautiful, popular girls everyone wanted to be. Ali was the best friend they ever had. But she also made them do terrible things and taunted them with their worst secrets.
Not every story has a happy ending, especially when four pretty little liars have done so many wicked things. In the dramatic conclusion of Sara Shepard's bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Spencer could get everything they've ever wanted—unless A has one more horrifying twist in store.
In Detail Summary
Aria, Hanna, Emily and Spencer are shocked to learn of the existence of Alison's twin sister, Courtney, when she's introduced at a press conference. Courtney had spent her life in institutions due to "health issues" and her existence was kept secret by her family. She's finally released and goes home to Rosewood, where she attempts to resume her sister's life and begins tentative friendships with Ali's old friends at Rosewood Day.
"Courtney" later reveals that she's actually Ali; the real Courtney had pretended to be her on the night of Ali's disappearance, and she was the one who was killed by Billy Ford. When she tried to tell her family who she was, they didn't believe her because Courtney was notorious for pretending to be Ali, and sent her back to the institution in Courtney's place.
Emily is the first to know when Ali surprises her with a passionate kiss in Emily's bedroom, claiming the she had been hoping to "do that again." Of course, Emily is thrilled and promises to keep it a secret until Ali is ready to tell the other girls about her identity. Ali invites Spencer and Emily to go dancing at a club, which they snuck into with fake IDs. After dancing and realizing that, for the first time in a while, she is relaxing and having fun with her friends, Spencer is shocked when Ali sat her and Emily down to talk to her about her real identity. At first, Spencer is angry at Ali for not letting them know years ago that she was still alive. However, Ali tearfully apologizes for teasing her before she went "missing" and reminds her that, since finding out that Spencer's dad and Alison's mom had an affair, they are technically half-sisters. Spencer forgives Ali and the three girls dance, feeling like they are all friends again, like in the old days.
The next to know is Hanna. "Courtney," Kate, Naomi, and Riley come with Hanna when she invites them to a fashion show in New York City. Hanna had received the tickets in a letter from her mother, and wanted to impress the girls to become a part of their popular clique, after having broken up with Mike for earning the embarressing nickname, Skidz. When the tickets are handed to the man in front of the door, he rejects the girls, telling them that the tickets are fake. Naomi, Kate, and Riley are appalled, and tell Hanna that she's "never going to be popular at Rosewood Day again." Hanna calls her mother, who tells her that she had never sent any tickets, leaving Hanna to believe that it had been Billy Ford, the man who had been accused of murdering Alison, Jenna Cavanaugh, and Ian Thomas, and being the second A. Frustrated, Hanna sits down on a nearby bench. "Courtney" follows her and sits down by her, trying to make her feel better. When Hanna calls herself a loser, "Courtney" tells her that that is "the stupidest thing [she's] ever said," to which Hanna replies, "You've known me for two days." "Courtney" says that she has known Hanna for much longer, revealing her true identity. Hanna feels amazing, knowing that Ali can finally see Hanna's makeover, compared to the overweight "geek" with braces that she used to be. Ali offers Hanna a plan to take down Kate, Naomi, and Riley and help Hanna regain her popularity at school, which Hanna accepts.
Finally, Aria finds out about "Courtney's" true identity in the woods. From her bedroom window, Aria sees Spencer's sister, Melissa, suspiciously running around the neighborhood at night. Aria goes outside to investigate and tries to catch up with Melissa to see where she's going. However, Aria ends up in the woods, having lost sight of Melissa. Instead, she finds "Courtney," sitting on the edge of a wishing well. "Courtney" mentions drawing it on her Time Capsule Flag because it was the only place that was just hers, revealing her true identity. After apologizing for teasing Aria about her family dysfunctions, Ali says that she wants her, Aria, and the three others to all be friends again, asking Aria to "just think about it." Before Aria can respond, Ali walks away, leaving her alone in the woods. With Ali gone, Aria thinks about sincerity of Ali's apology, taking into thought her convincing act of pretending she'd never been to Rosewood Day and never seen Noel Kahn's house before. Aria also wonders if Ali is just trying to get Aria to open up about the problems in her family to tease and torture her again. Before she can think anymore, Aria stumbles upon something buried deep beneath the soil. She digs it up, revealing a tattered envelope of two blurry Polaroids. One is of the five girls at their end-of-seventh-grade sleepover. The second picture is of the same thing, but, because of the camera angle, it shows what was happening outside the barn, revealing a reflection of someone with blonde hair and feminine features, meaning someone else had been watching that night. The next day, Spencer sees the photos and realizes that the girl in the reflection is Melissa.
The girls are thrilled that Ali is back, and jump at the chance to go with her to the family's house in the Poconos after a school dance. On the way there, Spencer gets a frantic call from her mother telling her that Melissa has disappeared. Spencer had begun to believe that her sister was the one who killed Ali and that she may be after the rest of them, but once they arrive at the house it's revealed that Ali is the killer. They discover that the girl they were friends with years ago was actually Courtney, and the real Ali was stuck in an institution. She had killed Courtney for ruining her life, attempted to kill the girls in the forest fire, tried to have them arrested, and is now going to kill them by setting the house on fire.
They're able to escape after stumbling onto Ian's body hidden in a closet and releasing a bound, gagged and drugged Melissa, who Ali had kidnapped and was planning to kill as well. Ali is trapped inside the house and it's assumed she died in the fire, although her body is never found. After learning that her ex-husband shipped Hanna off to a mental institution, Ashley Marin transfers back to Rosewood and kicks Hanna's father, Isabel and Kate out of the house, thrilling Hanna. Hanna and Mike get back together, and Meredith goes into labor, giving birth to a girl named Lola.
Aria and Noel get back together after it's revealed that Ali kissed him, not the other way around, and Ella breaks up with Xavier after learning of his inappropriate behavior towards Aria. Spencer's father proclaims that even though he and her mother may not get back together, things are going to change for the better in their family, and Spencer and Melissa grow closer after almost being killed.
Emily buries everything she can find that reminds her of Ali at Courtney's grave, hoping she can finally find closure, but is unsure of whether the noises she hears at the cemetery are real or imagined. And somewhere, a new girl starts her senior year at an anonymous school, a girl whose name just so happens to be an anagram of Alison DiLaurentis...It's Laura St. DeLions .

Individual Plots
Hanna is having an issue with regaining her popularity. When she finds Kate, Naomi, Riley, Mason, and James, in Steam without Mike, she gets suspicious. When she asks what has happened, Mason shows her a picture. Its a picture of Mike's gym locker. Inside is his stuff, and front and center, D&G underwear, with skid marks. They start calling Mike Skidz, and he is unpopular, just like Hanna. She breaks up with him to regain popularity, but gets back together with him, realizing it isn't worth it. Kate is still calling her "Psycho" and is trashing Hanna.
Aria is suspicious of Courtney and doesn't believe that Courtney is who she seems. She's very insistent on avoiding her. At the same time, she is having problems with Meredith and Byron. Meredith is having a baby soon, and Mike is resentful on spending time with them. She also has to avoid her mom because of Xavier, after he tries to grope her in the past books. Courtney and Noel are also spending a lot of time together. She thinks something is going to go on, like Alison and Noel being in a relationship. At the Valentine's Day dance, she sees Noel and Courtney kissing. Courtney calls out Noel, making it as Noel advanced onto Courtney. After it's revealed that Courtney was Alison and Alison was Courtney after the Time Capsule Flag thing in sixth grade, Noel tells Aria that Courtney kissed him, and Aria believes him. They kiss and get back together.
Spencer is having a hard time with her parents and Melissa. She finds out that, a picture in her father's Yale yearbook, a picture that she thinks is Olivia, pregnant with her, is Jessica DiLaurentis, pregnant with Ali and Courtney. She finds emails from her dad to her. It's revealed that Spencer's father impregnated Jessica at the same time Olivia was pregnant with Spencer, from an egg from her mother and sperm from her father. She reveals it at dinner, thinking her mother knew, and that it was a motive for her to kill Ali. When she realizes her mother never knew. She kicks her father out, becomes upset with Spencer, and she and Melissa ignore her for a bit. They talk to her again but are still mad at her. At the Poconos house, she finds Ian's body and a kidnapped Melissa in the closet. In the end, Spencer's parents tell her and Melissa while they are not yet getting back together that they are going to eat dinner once a week.
Emily still doesn't want to let go of seeing Ali in the woods. When she finds out about Courtney, she thinks this is a chance for her to get together with Courtney. So they start flirting, and Courtney and Emily end up hooking up. After Courtney (revealed to be Ali) is "killed" in the fire, Emily realizes she has to let go of the past...
Messages from "A"

To All Four Girls
To: Four Bitches. From: A.
Once upon a time, there were two beautiful girls named Ali and Courtney - but one of them was crazy. And as you know, with a few magical twists of fate, Ali became Courtney for a while. But what you don't know is that Courtney became Ali, too.
You heard me right, Pretty Little Losers...and it's all because of you. Remember when you stalked me in my backyard for the Time Capsule Flag? And remember that girl who trotted out to the lawn and talked to you? That wasn't me. As you so astutely figured out, Courtney was home switching from the Radley to the Preserve that weekend. And oh, how poor widdle Courtney didn't want to go. She had her neat, crazy little life at Radley...and she didn't want to start over in a hospital.
If she had to start over somewhere, it was going to be Rosewood. And start over she did. She was supposed to go to the Preserve the very morning she saw you skulking around my yard - and man, did she jump on the chance fast. One minute she and I were arguing - I was so happy she was on her way out - and the next she was out in the yard, pretending to be me, talking to you guys like you were BFF's. Talking about my flag as if she hadn't been the one who'd stolen it first and ruined my masterpiece with that stupid wishing well. And how was I supposed to know that everyone - my mom, my dad, even my brother - would think it was me out there and Courtney inside? How was I supposed to know my mom would grab me and say it's time to go, Courtney? I pleaded with her that I was Ali, but my mom didn't believe me, all because Courtney took my A-is-for-Ali ring when I wasn't looking. My mom yelled outside to the girl who wasn't Ali that we were leaving, and the girl who wasn't Ali turned, smiled, and said, Bye!
Off we went. Courtney got my perfect life, and I got her wrecked one. Just like that.
She ruined everything. She put her lips all over Ian Thomas. She nearly got arrested for blinding prissy Jenna Cavanaugh. She ditched Naomi and Riley, the coolest girls at school. But the very worst thing she did in my name was chosen four new best friends in their place. Girls she knew I would never look twice at, girls who weren't special in any way. Girls who she knew would fall all over her, desperate for the opportunity to be in her exclusive club. The girls who'd help her get everything she wanted.
Any of this sound familiar, ladies?
But don't worry. This little fairy tale can still have a happy ending for me. I saw to it that my sister paid for what she did. And now, so will you.
I tried to burn you. I tried to make you crazy. I tried to have you arrested. I've even messed with you this week - surprise! I flung myself at Aria's boyfriend. I sent Hanna fake tickets to a certain fashion show. I let Em believe there was a happily-ever-after for us after all. Smooch! And Spencer...I have a surprise for you. Look closely! It's right under your nose.
I suppose I should thank Courtney for her meticulous diary keeping. It helped me - and Mona - so much. It's all led up to this big moment. The curtain's about to go up, bitches, and the show is about to begin. Get ready to meet your maker. It won't be long now.
A (the real one)
- Hanna and Mike: Desperate to be popular again, Hanna dumps Mike, who is also getting a bit low in social status. The two reunite by the end of the book.
- Aria and Noel: Aria is suspicious of Noel's friendliness towards "Courtney". Aria's had a crush on him since middle school and Ali was the only one who knew it. Ali also went out with Noel after Aria told her and the girl is now worried that he might be attracted to Courtney. She catches them kissing at the Valentine's Day dance and breaks up with him. However, they get back together after the truth about Courtney (Alison) is revealed, when Aria finds out the Alison kissed Noel first.
- Ali and Noel: Ali (known as Courtney to everyone else) kisses Noel at the Valentine's Day dance in order to get Aria to go to the Poconos with her and the rest of the girls. Her plan worked so well that Aria broke up with him on the spot.
- Ali and Emily: Ali kisses Emily and tells her the 'truth' about her identity. Emily is ecstatic to have her friend back and wants to have a real relationship with her. However, by the end of the books she learns that Ali is not the girl she knew and loved.

During a forum Tuesday night, Sarasota's city manager and police chief asked for patience as they formulate a comprehensive strategy for dealing with chronically homeless people in the city.
On Wednesday, City Manager Tom Barwin and John Annis, a vice president of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. advised us that a significant step toward progress will soon be pursued -- thanks in large part to the generosity of an anonymous philanthropist.
The donor has agreed to fund the hiring of a "full-time caseworker/coordinator" who would team with police officers, service providers and local government to reduce the number of homeless people on city streets.
The contributor also agreed to make an additional "matching" donation -- if the city and, preferably, Sarasota County contribute a total of $40,000. That combination of public and private funds would enable the city to hire two part-time caseworkers as part of a test project.
What's more, the Community Foundation intends to create a fund that would be open to other donors wishing to support this idea.
Barwin, who became city manager in September, has identified the need for caseworkers as the short-term priority for tackling a vexing problem that has clearly become a chief public concern. (The residents, visitors and business owners who spoke during the Herald-Tribune's Hot Topics Forum, featuring Barwin and Police Chief Bernadette DiPino, repeatedly expressed their worries about the impacts of homelessness -- especially in the downtown and surrounding areas.)
Support for police
Sarasota's police officers have frequent contact with homeless people on the streets and sidewalks -- and in parks and around businesses. Sometimes those people have violated a law, but often they have not. When no laws have been broken, the police are confronted with a difficult choice between doing nothing or taking time-consuming steps to find the people shelter and access to social services.
The idea is to provide police with support from caseworkers who are trained and assigned to perform these duties for homeless people willing to accept constructive aid. Other cities, including St. Petersburg and Clearwater, have taken this sensible approach and seen positive results.
The need for funding for caseworkers is regularly cited by public- and private-sector agencies as one of their most pressing needs. The Gulf Coast Community Foundation recently funded a caseworker dedicated to the needs of homeless children, and the Salvation Army has long sought to expand its team of caseworkers.
It makes sense, it seems to us, for the caseworkers sought by Barwin to work for the city -- to ensure a direct link to the Police Department and promote accountability. The city's plan should not preclude additional investments in caseworkers; this endeavor, if successful, could provide the impetus for even broader funding.
City and county would benefit
The fact that most of the money for the Sarasota initiative would come from the private sector is an encouraging sign -- and reason for both the city and county commissions to meet the matching grant challenge.
We commend the donor who has responded to a clear need that has the potential to benefit not only individuals in distress but Sarasota -- and the county, which collects taxes in the city and has a vested interest in a vibrant, safe municipality.
The creation of a fund to expand this project also offers an opportunity for individuals and businesses to support this response to a problem with deleterious community-wide impacts.
The hiring of caseworkers to work with the city of Sarasota will not be a panacea. The city will continue its struggle to craft laws that respect the rights of individuals but protect the common good. And there will be the ongoing challenge of homeless people who refuse assistance.
But the funding and hiring of caseworkers would represent progress -- and signal to an impatient public that local government and the community are ready to act.
Progress on homelessness
During a forum Tuesday night, Sarasota's city manager and police chief asked for patience as they formulate a comprehensive strategy for dealing with chronically homeless people in the city.

Justin Bieber definitely reads the headlines.
Since the Biebs turned 19, he's been hounded for taking off his shirt, having the "worst birthday" for getting denied into a London club, possibly having a new girlfriend, and for being extremely tardy to his London gig.
Well, seems like he's just about HAD IT.
The heartthrob rolled out a dozen ranting tweets in the span of 10 minutes, venting his frustrations on just about all of the above.
The "Baby" singer starts, "rumors rumors and more rumors. nothing more nothing less" and goes on a lengthy attack about the "fake stories" about him used to "sell papers."
Bieber clarifies that he was shirtless on the way to his London hotel because he was sweaty after his concert. He also said that his rumored girlfriend Ella-Paige Roberts-Clarke is just someone he "stand[s] next to."
In the end, he seems that being attacked comes with the territory of being famous.
"i understand it is part of the job to be judged…but judge me on the facts, judge me on the music, and be careful of the judgement (sic) u pass"

China data shows a pipeline of projects totalling 32.6GW. The country is targeting 18GW new installations in 2013, said Liu Tienan, head of China's National Energy Bureau with annual installation planned to reach 20GW by 2015.
In this process, distributed wind farms feeding electric power to local users, totalling 30% of the 100GW target by 2015, and offshore wind power, reaching 5GW by 2015, will play greater roles, while China continues to develop large 10GW-level onshore wind power projects in northern areas.
India is expected to be a major growth point in Asia, despite the rate of installations dropping in 2012 due to policy changes and grid problems. But annual installations are expected to rise to 5GW by 2015 thanks to India's colossal demand for energy - 40% of the population has no access to electricity, and power cuts occur daily. Projects in the pipeline with sites acquired have reached over 2GW. Homegrown manufacturer Suzlon takes the top developer slot, with more than 600MW sites acquired. This is a trend common in India, with manufacturers developing and completing projects before selling on.
Offshore ambitions in Japan and Korea
Japan's pipeline projects with acquired sites had reached 213MW last year. The country is under pressure to commit to a future involving renewable energy, including wind, and offshore is expected to deliver most of this. Yet none of the projects being proposed have yet acquired a site.
Even the Fukushima floating turbine wind project of just under 1GW, run by an 11-company consortium led by import-export firm Marubeni Corporation, is hampered by delays due to a hold up in setting the tariffs for offshore wind, and therefore does not have a site confirmed yet.
South Korea will make major advances in offshore wind development in the next five years, particularly in 2014 and 2015, according to Li Junfeng, president of the China Renewable Energy Industries Association (CREIA).Pipeline projects amounted to 372MW in 2012.
Samsung Heavy Industries last year won an 84MW deal to build an offshore wind farm off an island near the country's south coast. It aims to bring the first of the 12 turbines online in 2015. The central government plans to construct 900MW offshore wind farms by 2016 and 1.5GW by 2019. The ultimate goal is to build 2.5GW of offshore wind projects. Local governments are planning to construct 4.5GW offshore wind projects.
South-east Asia slow to take off
Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand possess very good wind energy resources. They have announced some favourable policy frameworks promoting wind-power development, but actual progress has been restricted by domestic economic and investment environments.
Vietnam has the greatest development potential of the three countries, CREIA's Li said. In 2011, Vietnam established a fixed feed-in tariff for wind power, although it was fairly low. In 2012, pipeline projects stood at 333MW. Wind farm developers have encountered project financing problem, but the government has introduced preferential policies to attract investment to the wind-power industry.
Thailand also has a relatively sound policy framework for wind-power development, according to Li. But the wind resources are comparatively poor, with most regions suitable for wind-farm construction in low wind areas. The pipeline in 2012 was 338MW. Due to government support, Thailand is expecting a boom in wind-power development in the future.
The Philippines boasts sound wind-energy resources and the government set a feed-in tariff last year. Development is likely to take off in the next few years, with 2.1GW already in the pipeline in 2012. WQ
Australia set for wind boom
With just seven years to run on Australia's renewable energy target, the rate of installed wind capacity is picking up as utilities are forced to meet their increasing liabilities under the policy. In line with industry predictions, the number of pipeline projects has climbed to over 7GW, second only to China in the region.
Next year AGL Energy's 420MW Macarthur project will come online in Victoria, but there are larger projects in the wings, including AGL's 1GW Silverton in New South Wales and Origin Energy's 547MW Stockyard Hill in Victoria. These projects gained planning approval before current strict planning guidelines were introduced at the state government level.
After several lean years, the renewable energy certificate market in Australia has been showing signs of rebound, with TruEnergy recently signing a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the 108MW Taralga wind farm in New South Wales. However, it is one of just four major Australian projects with current PPAs, the others being: Macarthur, Origin's Snowtown in South Australia and Gullen Range in New South Wales, all of which appear in the region's top 10 for projects with PPAs (see map, previous page). With the federal election now set for 14 September 2013, many in the wind industry are now concerned that few additional PPAs will now be signed before an election result is known.
New Zealand gears up
New Zealand is well on its way to achieving 20% of energy generation from wind by 2030. Currently, wind accounts for about 5% of electricity supply, with 623MW in operation and over 2GW consented, including the 860MW Castle Hill project near Wellington, which will take up to five years to complete. In total, New Zealand's project pipeline currently stands at 2.2GW. KC.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Former Harvard fencer Emily Cross can add a second Academic All-America selection to her long list of accomplishments during her time at Harvard.
Cross, a 2009 graduate with a degree in biology, has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America women's at-large third team, the College Sports Information Directors of America announced Thursday. After taking off 2007-08 to help lead the U.S. team to a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Cross returned to lead the Crimson to the Ivy League championship in 2009.
The team co-captain garnered her third selections to the All-America and All-Ivy League teams and earned her second Academic All-Ivy League and ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District honors. Cross placed third at the 2009 NCAA Championships in the foil, winning 21 bouts and scoring 107 touches while helping Harvard finish fifth as a team. She also posted a 16-2 record at the Ivy League Championships.

In my book, growing your own sourdough starter is a pretty cool thing to do. In fact, viewed from a 26-year-old's perspective, growing your own sourdough starter is about as cool as, say, snap bracelets were when I was ten, or as cool as all-ages concerts were when I was fourteen, or even as cool as road trips were when I was in college. Ok, maybe not that cool. But cool nonetheless.
I've been meaning to do this for a while — it seems that every breadbaker out there has a starter that's been with him or her for months or even years. And since there are times lately when I've been underwhelmed by the flavor and texture of my own homemade bread, the idea of a starter has been on my mind for a while.
But when I started researching online, I was a little discouraged. I read one website that said, in essence, "don't even attempt this unless you're an expert baker." It suggested that far too many "amateur" bakers try to create their own starter with disasterous results.
"Wow," I though to myself, "is mixing flour and water really that hard?" And, of course, my gut reaction was correct, because within a week, I had a healthy, stinky, bubbly sourdough starter that was ready for its first bread recipe! Here's what it looked like on about Day 4:
Yum… Well, ok, maybe "yum" is the wrong word. But it's kind of interesting, in a fourth-grade science project way, isn't it?
And, more importantly, what a great little bread it was. I used my bread machine, just out of sheer laziness, and ended up with a crusty loaf of thick, sourdough-y bread. And my starter was only a week old! I'm letting it sit at room temperature for another week or two before moving it to the refrigerator, but I know it will only get better from here.
So, without further commentary, I'm going to give you the steps to make your own little sourdough starter, and then the recipe that I used for my sourdough loaf. Don't laugh, because the steps are really quite simple.
Sourdough Starter
1. On day 1, mix a cup of flour and a cup of water, stir and leave at room tempterature in an uncovered container (I used an old plastic risotto container, which I had washed out).
2. Approximately 24 hours later, on day 2, pour out half the mixture and discard. Add 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 tsp of sugar and 1/2 cup of water to the remaining mixture and stir well.
3. Repeat step 2 each day for a week.
4. After a week, your starter should be bubbly and thick. You can now replenish it with additional flour and water every other day. So, repeat step 2 once every 48 hours for the next 8 days.
5. After two weeks, move the starter to your fefrigerator. You can cover the canister but make sure there is still air that comes in and out (cut a hole or two in the lid, if you're using one). You can replenish your starter once a week from now on, indefinitely. From this point on, any starter that you pour of can be used as the "starter" for sourdough bread, and it will only get better as it ages and develops flavor.
Sourdough Bread
1/2 cup sourdough starter
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup water
1 tsp rapid-rise commercial yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sugar
Mix all ingredients together according to your breadmaker's instructions. Set the breadmaker to make a 1-lb loaf with a medium crust, on the "White" setting. Allow to cool, slice, and serve.
Makes 1 one-pound loaf.

With one of the largest urban campuses on the East Coast, it's always a luxury to be able to have any sports facilites by the hub of campus.
VCU Field Hockey and Women's Lacrosse has that luxury with Cary Street Field, located on the corner of Cary and Harrison Streets, just two blocks from "The Hub".
With a water-based astro-turf surface, the Rams have plenty of space to work individually or as a group.
The facility seats just over 1,200 and it was at capacity in 1992 when it hosted the NCAA Field Hockey Championship. The attendance of 1,219 at that contest set a then-record for the event.

February 2012 marks 12 years since I moved to America from Grenoble, France, a picturesque town surrounded by three masterful mountain ranges. Three hours by train from Paris, one hour by car from Lyon, two hours by car from Geneva and just shy of four hours to the Cote d'Azure, Grenoble was the perfect town in which to live "la vie francaise" from 1997-2000.
Those were three of the best years of my life. I find it hard to believe that I have lived in America now four times longer than I lived in Grenoble. Those three years were packed full of emotion, experiences, adventure and ambition. It was a small town life but it was big with fun and friendship.
Frequently, as I go about my day-to-day life here in the U.S., I get pangs for France. It's more than just longing for times gone by, my "misspent youth", memories of good times. It's visceral. When I'm missing France, I'm missing:
- How my brain feels energized by speaking and thinking in French, my second language
- Amazement and gratitude for the multi-cultural friendships created and sustained
- Viewing the world through a European filter
- The powerful seductive smell of cheese shops and patisseries
- Discovering – and being completely swallowed up by – the voice, lyrics and harmonies of Francis Cabrel and Lara Fabian
- The serendipity of being introduced to works of author Paulo Coelho
- Experiencing the mountains, lakes and countryside in all their overwhelming raw beauty
- The cobblestone streets, the ever-flowing wine, the boutiques,
- Living within and among history and architecture
- Hunting for chanterelles and then making omelets with them
- The deep sleep that follows a day of skiing in the Alps and a cheese fondue
- Did I mention the ever-flowing wine?
The urge to go back, not just to visit but to stay, is powerful. Life in Grenoble made an indelible mark on my soul.

She is one of Canada's brightest, most brilliant talents. And the last time she wrote and directed a movie it was nominated for awards everywhere, including Oscar.

Can redeem Adrien Brody. Robert Downey Jr showed up at the premiere of Splice last night in LA and did his movie star friendship duty, posing with Brody on the carpet, working some bromance for the cameras, being charming and irresistible as usual.

This reporter learned a valuable lesson Friday night in Malvern: Don't judge a book by it's cover.
While Malvern Prep did not look very stylish or threatening in warm-ups before their game with Chestnut Hill Academy, things were very different when the ball went up for the tip.
Malvern used a stifling defense to completely throttle the Blue Devils, and won going away, 41-26. CHA could never get inside on the Friars, forced to rely completely on jump shots. Malvern's D was simply outstanding. CHA drops to 7-9 with the loss as Malvern improved to a fantastic 13-3. They were led by Brendan Kilpatrick, with 11 points while also controlling the rebounding. There really were not offensive stars for either team but Malvern didn't need them, they had their D.
"I thought the right team won the game," Coach Bill Dooley said. "They played hard, they were hungrier, they were better. I congratulate them. They did a terrific job, they played hard, they executed, I applaud them. They defended us well, they made us shoot the ball from the perimeter and we didn't. Any time we did get the ball inside they collapsed and when we kicked we just couldn't make shots. What happens then it just puts that much more microscope on your defense. Excellent coaching job to them, they deserved to win this game."
Malik Garner pointed to the shooting.
"We just didn't shoot well at all," he said. "We didn't key in on our plays well at all, we didn't play hard enough either, it wasn't like us. We're a good three point shooting team; we just couldn't knock them down tonight. It's all about you come back play hard, same thing, follow the same routine. We'll bounce back, we always bounce back."
"It was tough," said junior guard Bill Dooley. "They kind of came out harder then us at the start. It was hard to come back from that. It was tough, we couldn't make any jump shots."
About how they bounce back Dooley said, "We have practice tomorrow at ten, get back in the gym, just try and get back on track."
Coach Dooley promised that his team would bounce right back.
"We get in the gym tomorrow at ten and we work at it," he said. "We watch some film we get in the weight room we shoot the ball, we guard and we do what we always do. Make sure we do it in a focused way."
About how he thinks the team is progressing he said, "we're kind of back and forth. With this team it kind of depends on how well we shoot the ball. Other nights we've shot it well. We're trying to get better every day. We need to be more consistent, and we're not that right now. That's what we're striving for."
Malvern's Kilpatrick was proud of his team.
"We basically out-toughed them today," he said. "It was about who was going to get some loose balls, 50/50 balls, getting the rebounds. Then it came down to knocking down fouls shots, knocking down shots In the end of the game keep our composure, and not get flustered by their pressure and I think we did a great job with that. Defense was great today. We work on pressure on the ball, help defense. We got it in our heads we can't mess it up. We work really hard at what we do and it showed."

AMERICUS - The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team shot a sizzling 69 percent from inside the arc while holding Lander to their season-low point total in a 64-54 victory at the Storm Dome Wednesday evening.
The Hurricanes snap a five-game losing skid and improve to 8-11 overall and 4-8 in Peach Belt Conference play. Lander has lost seven in a row and dips to 6-11, 1-9 in the PBC.
Jamon Hawkins scored the first six points of the game for GSW and helped take the lead away from Lander for the final time of the evening with 17:01 left in the first half when his layup made the score 6-4.
The Hurricanes proceeded to utilize a 16-2 run to open a 12-point advantage (18-6). The Bearcats were held scoreless for more than five minutes during that run.
GSW eventually opened its largest lead of the first half, 13 points, when Hawkins hit a jumper with nine minutes left to make the score 22-9. The Hurricanes took a 30-22 lead into the break.
With five unanswered points to start the second period, GSW quickly pushed the margin back to 13 points. The Hurricanes would hit that mark one more time when Alan Arnett sank a 3-point bucket at the 12:17 mark to make the score 50-37.
The Bearcats pulled within six points with just under three minutes remaining, but that's as close they would get and the Hurricanes improve to 7-3 when leading at the half this season.
GSW held a substantial rebounding edge, 38-24, and controlled points in the paint, 28-8. In addition to shooting well from the field (55 percent overall), GSW was solid from the charity stripe, connecting on 16 of 20 attempts (80 percent).
The Hurricanes held Lander to 32 percent shooting and the Bearcats leading scorer, David Pruett, was held scoreless. He entered the matchup ranked fifth in scoring average in the PBC. Jareal Smith finished with a team-high 13 points for Lander.
Hawkins led the Hurricanes with 17 points on 5 of 8 shooting. He was perfect from the free throw line, connecting on all six attempts. Matt Shaw added 12 points. Daryl Davis pulled down a season-high nine rebounds.
GSW returns to the hardwood on Saturday with a 3:30 p.m. contest at Young Harris.

Film Review
Why We Fight
Clear-eyed documentary exposes the business of war
Why We Fight is among the most sober, clear-eyed and thought-provoking of America's recent spate of politically oriented documentaries. Directed by Eugene Jarecki (The Trials of Henry Kissinger), the film adopts as its launching point the farewell address of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. As he left his second term of office in 1961, Eisenhower warned--in no uncertain terms--against the rise of the military-industrial complex. It's a point worth reiterating: Eisenhower was a Republican president, a five-star general in the U.S. Army and the former Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War II. And he used his farewell address to the country to warn Americans about the growing global "business" of war.
Film Review
V for Vendetta
Rebellious action film goes for the jugular
Back in 1982, two angry young English lads named Alan Moore and David Lloyd channeled their hatred for Margaret Thatcher's regime into a comic book screed against totalitarian governments. The edgy series V for Vendetta perfectly captured England's post-punk desperation, wrapping it up in an adventurous, illustrated tale of high adventure and vigilantism.
Idiot Box
"Big Love" on HBO
It was bigamy--it was big o' you, too!
HBO continues to push the envelope of its ratings-grabbing, attention-garnering Sunday night shows. Now that "The Sopranos" is back on the air and soaking up a record viewership, HBO has paired it with "Big Love," a controversial new drama/comedy(ish) about a suburban polygamist with three (count 'em, three) wives.
Week in Sloth
The Week in Sloth
"American Inventor" (KOAT-7 7 p.m.) To give credit where credit is due, at least this umpteenth "American Idol" knock-off celebrates an intellectual (sort of) pursuit.
"Doctor Who" (Sci-Fi 7 p.m.) The Sci-Fi Channel scores some street cred (on, you know, nerdy streets) by importing the latest season of the BBC's looooong-running series. Christopher Eccleston (The Others, 28 Days Later) stars as the time-traveling tourist.
"Paddy Whacked" (History 7 p.m.) Man, is that a bad title--and on St. Patrick's Day, no less. The show is about the legacy of the Irish Mafia. Get it? "Paddy Whacked."

Those who feared the 2015 Subaru Legacy would look nothing like the Subaru Legacy Concept shown a couple months ago in Los Angeles can rest easy. The production car will still have four doors and come in silver. Like the concept.
Subaru issued this teaser for the 2015 Legacy that's due to appear February 6 at the Chicago Auto Show. For starters, it's definitely adopting, according to Subaru, the "coupe-like profile" so fashionable among midsize sedans today. It dumps the boxy profile that's likely popular among Legacy loyalists.
The teaser also reveals a tamer light treatment front and rear.
Expect the 2015 Legacy to go on sale later this year with some boxer engines and CVTs.

We had dinner at Shaunna and Mike's place last night and I'm always amazed by their growing art collection. They just picked up a small Bwana Spoons piece that's really cool. I should have taken a picture. They have some really nice prints framed (Sorren, Viner, etc) and I always think about getting some of our prints framed some day.
Prints are cheaper than buying an original so it always opens up the door to collecting artists you otherwise can't afford. I buy and trade prints pretty often, my collection is growing but nothing is on display yet, mainly because in our apartment there's not too much wallspace. Here are some from our collection...
My first set of prints I bought. I don't know anything about the artist but I believe they are wood cuts. I bought them from the Comicon in 1998 (I think), and wanted to meet the artist but everytime I came by he was off somewhere..
My next print was from Plankton Art Co., also known as the husband and wife duo Allen and Susan Crawford. I just thought it was a great print and bought it from "Tin Man Alley" the first time I made some money from my paintings. Later on in Philly I got to meet the Crawfords and they were really cool people, down with nature and all that. After the Plankton print I started trading and buying and collecting and now I have drawers of them.
Here is my studio wall where I display some of my favorites. They should really be in flat files or in frames behind UV protected glass. I put up some of my own prints so I can look back and keep the new prints related in stye or color. L to R- Jeremy Fish screenprint, Sammy Harham screenprint, Kozyndan, Dre Day!, Ryan Jacob Smith screenprint, Mr. Cartoon screenprint, Biskup Juxtapoz print, Michael Sieban screenprint, my Pressure Printing piece, Ben Woodward unicorn, Shaunna Peterson giclee, Meathaus screenprint, some of my screenprints, a Caroline Hwang screenprint, and a Shepard Fairey screenprint.
I have tons of prints, I couldn't show them all it'd be a long blog. Here's some drawers.
Rachel Sumpter on top, Dave Cooper, Ryan Jacob Smith, Scott Saw, Jeremy Fish..
This one isn't a print but an original from the Robots have Feelings Too show I curated. It's in the flat file waiting for a frame. Painted by James Fish.
An Alex Gross etching. This is one of my favorite prints, will be framed for sure some day. His work was just in Juxtapoz an issue or two ago. I was kinda disappointed he didn't get the cover, (no offense to Blane Fontana) this was the second time Alex has had a major article in Jux and not got the cover. I love the mag but c'mon guys. Ah well, maybe next time.
Kozyndan prints are always fun to look at and really examine for a while. Anyone know if they have a blog? I could see that being really interesting...
One of my biggest inspirations from my youth was the British artist/illustrator Patrick Woodroffe. Not my favorite piece from him, but I found this print on eBay pretty cheap and I was happy to have a signed piece. I wrote him a long letter a while back and though he replied back in person, he seemed super busy and didn't answer any of my questions. I don't wanna say he was rude, but he was very quick and to the point, and I wonder if he even read what I had to say. Oh well, usually people you hold up on a pedestal for so long turn out to be, well, normal human beings that are busy just like you and me. It's all good, I understood where he was coming from. Still one of my favorite artists of all time.
Ben Woodward and Jim Houser collaboration screenprint. Ben gave this to me when I visited Space 1026.
These were some postcards Ben screened by hand for a show at New Image Art back in 2001. Gold.
Some prints from Pressure Printing, Scott Musgrove and Jim Woodring.
Ryan Jacob Smith prints. I loove this dude's stuff. We went to school together and I wish he lived closer. I think, even though we paint very different and are working towards different artistic goals there is something that we share, maybe we just pull influences from similar sources (we both have old textbooks and Time Life books).
These are prints from Michael Wong a NY photographer who came out to shoot me. We did some trading.
Sammy Harkham, artist and editor of Kramers Ergot made this beautiful print. It kinda freaks me out, it's called "Wedding night". There's blood, sweat, urine, various bodily fluids apparent. I didn't want to ask him what it was all about.
Here's some stuff from the 2006 Comicon. Mark Todd with Skeletor, Unlovable by Esther Pearl Watson (those two have made frequent appearances in this blog..) and a Mars One litho.
Some Souther Salazar prints. Really cool. He gave these to me when I visited last week. I need to repay the favor and hook him up with some of mine.
Yep, those are some of my prints. There are a lot more but I'm probably boring the readers as it is.
Thanks for all the support with the apparel situation. At this point I really think the only way to combat companies ripping off my designs is to start my own line. I'm hoping to start working on it after my BLK/MRKT show in November. I want to make quality products- shirts and probably just hats and sweatshirts at first. Keep it small you know, limited editions, see how things go. Maybe sell off Potato Stamp at first and then to smaller boutiques. I just want to keep some integrity to anything bearing my name so I want to do this right. Thanks!

Right now, I can only afford to buy prints. Do you feel that buying a limited-edition print is better than purchasing a poster? What makes it more valuable? Or does it?
- 7:42 PM, August 28, 2006
it's always interesting to see what things people like to collect, esp. creative people!
i'm into Hot Wheels, action figures, and well, urban vinyl.

Are we talking about those $400 prints artists sell round there?. And are we talking you have tons of them???. Could you please tell me where to show my paintings in order to try to earn the same as you?. Hehe. Joking.
Could you please tell us when you take out one of those extra-limited t-shirts editions?. I want one.

Smivey- You should buy the prints you like, don't buy prints based on what you think their value might be someday. There's no way to really know, it depends on what the artist does in their career and how important 'their' art movement becomes. Generally, for the same artist, the signed and numbered limited edition prints should be worth more than an unsigned poster. With anything collectible you want a smaller amount out there in the world.
Josh- hey man, nice to see you in here!
Chris- yes, Prince is badass...
Mr. letterman- It's cool actually, I've only paid for a few of our prints (um.. Caroline Hwang, Dre Day, Jeremy Fish, Shep, Plankton..) most I have traded my own prints or paintings for. So it's a good way to collect art for us without spending tons of money.

hey man, you also planning on registering, copyrighting, licensing (all that boring crap) too for Potato Stamp? probably be good to make it super legit so nobody can fuck with you.
also, you probably already know a good printer out there in Riverside, but if you don't, i work for a silkscreening company here in Detroit, they make some pretty decent stuff, do a lot of work for Niagara, Shag, Glenn Barr, and Me :) maybe i could help you out. drop me a line if you need some advice on quotes or anything so you don't get fucked over by shady companies.

Mmm, I would love to hear what kind of paper and ink and whatever do I have to ask for if I want to make a silkscreen or a print (I don´t even know if it´s the same) about one of my paintings. Can you Mr. Soto or The Chung help me?. Thank you.

Hey...T-shirts sound great but I'd like to see something nicer and more long-term too, like a Jeff Soto jacket or something, or a silk tie in particular.
You know, maybe you should hook up with a big-name design house. I've seen black dudes in NYC wearing this gorgeous Fat Albert silk shirt...something like that but Sotoesque would be cool.

Thanks for answering my question, Jeff. I didn't mean to imply that I was buying art as an investment. I just didn't want to be paying the extra money for a limited-edition print if it wasn't worth any more than a poster. Ideally, I'd like to own an original Maybe I'll save up my money and check out your next show in September.

Does anyone have advice as to the best way/place to get prints made? Also, I work in Illustrator and Freehand, so all my work is in digital format, is there any point making a print of something that came from a computer (well, from my head via a computer)? Wouldn't that just be a poster? Not knocking posters - posters are solid - word...
- 7:25 AM, September 15, 2006

Sometime after Halo 1's release I started wandering around the net forums. Before Halo 2's release I searched for every scrap of info I could on the game. That brought me to nightly.net where I started reading a lot of Voc's posts, including his giant Halo 2 thread. Following Voc's posting brought me to Riches Will Rust where I met some more of you. I started reading Voc's blog on H3, which became the Halo 3 Data Archive. I contacted him through the provided contact email and asked if I could add him to my buddy list. He said that I could and so I did. Playing with guys from the Ephorate has been some of the most fun I have had playing Halo 2.
I am 26 and married to my wife Tara and we have two little boys, Titus (3) and Isaiah (2). I work for the Post Office delivering mail and occasionally doing some other things. I hope to get a full-time office job with the PO in the near future. Ultimately, I would like to become a history teacher or professor and maybe make and sell art on the side (my degree is in art). I have 4 years in college under my belt and I love history and philosophy and theology...and Halo.
For more personal info on me you can visit my MySpace profile: http://www.myspace.com/mattisond
Halo might be the only reason that I am a "gamer" today. It's the reason I bought an XBOX. Halo 1 is probably my favorite game of all time (though I like the multiplayer better in Halo 2 [sorry Syracuse!]). It's got aliens, robots, marines, guns, cyborgs, AI and space ships. What's not to like?

I was first introduced to this forum by an old member called PoeticDave. It was around the time of the Halo 2 leak and I'd been having alook inside the files with a hex editor, for some reason quite a few people found it quite interesting (there's so much unused stuff in there) and that's pretty much how I ended up here. I generally come back because it's the only bunch of chilled back people on Live that I know about.
For a living, I'm not a full time university student. I actually started today. I go to the University of Huddersfield, where I believe this cool ytmnd got it's picture from (since Partick Stewart is the Chancellor of the uni). Anyways, I'm taking a BSc course in computer games programming, where in the third year we get assigned to a games company and just work there, for the whole year.
Ermm, what else can I say.... the first game I remember playing was Megaball for the Amiga. Favourite game series is probably MGS closely followed by Halo, most things Squaresoft and Big Rigs. Worst game I've ever played... erm.... oh, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, I just hated that game so much. My favourite things to do is eating unhealthy food, playing video games, going out and... I dunno, something British like drinking tea or something.
Sorry about making up extra questions by the way, I was just realllly bored and had nothing better to do.

OMG! Phantom it's been a long time.
You were the one who got me into this clan by playing with Brash.
Wow those were the good ol' days. You me Blaze and Kinetic on Headlong making forts and wraith launching.

Honestly Gears-er-Shin, I never thought I'd never hear from you again. Good to have you back amongst the ranks.
EDIT: Supa, I thought I was the one who destroyed the forts? Goddamn it really has been a while...
No way, WraithCogs wouldve been too obvious. XD Though thats one hell of an alternate.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to get my hands on a 360 and get back into the groove, but I'm gonna try.
Yeah Supa, those were good times...I don't remember getting you into the clan though. o.o

Well I've posted on a few threads, but haven't formally introduced myself on this one. My name is Jake, but I go by a nickname I've had since high school....Jamookie or Mookie. (long story) My gamertag is.....you guessed it Jamookie.
I live in Mansfield, Ohio. About 1/2 way between Cleveland and Columbus.
I currently work in a hell hole known as Smurfit Stone Container....and yes our corporate "colors" are Blue. I make corrugated boxes :down: , but now that my wife has graduated from nursing college I believe my time there is limited. I am also attending the University of Cincinnati and am a little over half way to having my bachelors in Addiction Studies. I am 31 years old, married, with 2 daughters (ages 10 & 8) and have a black lab (Raven) who keeps my feet warm while I'm gaming in the basement. I also am a youth leader in a local church.
Jeremy (Mr. Vociferious) hooked us up with a link to this site from the Grizzled Ancients, where Jeremy had invited me to join through a xbox.com forum. The 360 is the only system I have owned besides all Nintendo products and of course your good old retro gaming systems (Genisis, Atari, NeoGeo). I had basically stopped playing games other than Madden a few years ago, but when some guys I hooked up with from church introduced me to Halo 2 about a year ago I was hooked again :laugh: So I waited for the 360 and bought that. I look forward to gaming with everyone, feel free to add me to your FL.

Los Angeles Area Wal-Mart Workers Strike
Reports are being published that Los Angeles, California-area employees of Wal-Mart were walking off the job in a strike today, November 6, 2013. There were unconfirmed reports that a similar strike in October had resulted in some workers at a Florida store being given raises and more hours. See the story on the Florida strike from Huffingtonpost.com. A story from Salon.com has the claims for the "victory" claimed by workers from the October action. Your blogger wonders how many of the workers actually "won" anything that was not already in the works under previously-announced Wal-Mart plans to make changes in its workforce.
A story today from ThinkProgress.org states that it was given the number of Wal-Mart employees in the Southern California area as 13,000. The stories your blogger found do not indicate how many employees were participating in the gatherings today. The primary focus of the gatherings is more hours and higher pay.
Wal-Mart, like every other retailer, is obviously concerned about what the sales levels for the remainder of the year will be. Will these strikes have a positive impact on the conditions for Wal-Mart workers? Will the strikes have any impact on sales at the locations where they occur? That will likely only be known after the start of the new year. Wal-Mart is working hard for the holiday dollars. One location had Christmas music playing at 7:30 a.m. on November 1.
Update: A Huffingtonpsot.com article indicates that some arrests were made when the demonstration permits expired for a gathering. The article also states that about 500 were involved at that location.
Welcome to the Wal-Mart Litigation Project!
The purpose of the Wal-Mart Litigation Project is to assist lawyers who sue Wal-Mart to force the company to act properly toward its customers, employees, and vendors.
A second goal is this - to help people injured by Wal-Mart's wrongdoing find a lawyer who will take a meritorious case against the world's largest retailer. Use the box above to find a lawyer near you to handle your case. If you are not a lawyer, then helping you find one is all we can do for you.
The Wal-Mart Litigation Project does not encourage litigation against the company. In fact, because of the many obstacles plaintiffs face in suing Wal-Mart, the project encourages a realistic view of success. To learn more, click the "Suing Wal-Mart" button above.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.
-- The Ivy League has announced the names of 80
student-athletes – including 10 from Harvard—who have
been named to the spring 2010-11 Academic All-Ivy League team.
The honorees are starters or key reserves on officially recognized varsity teams who have cumulative grade-point averages of at least 3.0. Each of the eight Ivy League schools nominates five men and five women from its eligible student-athletes.
Four members of the Harvard and Radcliffe crew teams, two outdoor track & field athletes, two softball players and a baseball and women's lacrosse student-athlete comprised Harvard's nominees.
On the men's side, senior Daniel Chenoweth, who has also earned academic all-ivy honors in 2008 and 2010 in cross country, garnered the accolade this spring as a member of the outdoor track & field squad. Chenoweth, a native of Geneseo, Ill., and a sociology concentrator, earned All-Ivy League second-team honors with a second-place finish in the 10,000-meter race at Heps. He also posted the second fastest time in Harvard history and a lifetime best of 13:45.92 in the 5,000 at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational.
Representing men's lightweight crew, senior Jared Dourdeville, an engineering sciences coordinator from Marion, Mass., earned his second Academic All-Ivy nod after receiving the same honor in 2009. Dourdeville was tabbed to the All-Ivy first team and was the two-seat of the squad that won the Eastern and Ivy League titles, placed second nationally and posted a 9-0 dual record.
Will Newell, also a senior on the men's lightweight crew team, garnered All-Ivy first team honors and was the four-seat on the team that took home Eastern and Ancient Eight crowns. Newell is a classics concentrator who hails from Weston, Mass.
Senior Chris Kingston, a member of the men's heavyweight crew, was the coxswain for the Crimson, helping the squad win Easterns and the Ivy League title, as well as place second in the country and go 7-0 in dual races. Kingston, a history concentrator, is a native of Bedford, England.
A pitcher on the baseball team, senior Ben Sestanovich finished second on the Crimson with a 3.26 earned run average, while posting a 2-1 record with a save in 10 appearances, which ranked fourth on the club. An economics concentrator from Washington, D.C., Sestanovich struck out five straight batters and eight overall in 5.2 innings of work against Dartmouth May 1.
The Harvard softball team saw two of its team members earn spots on the Academic All-Ivy team as junior Rachel Brown and senior Ellen Macadam garnered nods after helping the Crimson win the Ivy League title. Brown, a psychology concentrator who hails from San Diego, Calif., was the unanimous Ivy Pitcher of the Year and was a first-team All-Ivy League choice. A Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District first team choice, Brown broke the Ancient Eight season record with 299 strikeouts and set school records in strikeouts, strikeouts per game (11.4), wins (21) and games started (26).
Macadam, a team co-captain and psychology concentrator from Atlanta, Ga., was honored as the Ivy League Player of the Year, while also earning All-Ivy first-team accolades. A Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District pick, Macadam established program records in a season for hits (76), runs (52), at-bats (172) and career records for hits (222), runs (139), doubles (43) and total bases (334).
A two-time Academic All-Ivy League choice, senior Claire Richardson earned All-Ivy first team honors with a victory in the 3,000 at the outdoor Heptagonal Championships. She also took fourth in the 5,000 at Heps and won the 3,000 at the annual Harvard-Yale Meet. A native of St. Paul, Minn., Richardson completed her academic career as a history and science concentrator.
