CLINTON – Ashlee Winner (Sr.-Rushville, Ill.) pitched a shutout in the opening game of a doubleheader and came on in relief for a win in the second game as Iowa Wesleyan College swept Ashford University in a Midwest Collegiate Conference doubleheader Saturday.
Winner allowed just four hits and struck out six as the Tigers grabbed a 4-0 win in the opener. IWC then had to rally back with two runs in the top of the seventh and Molly Ward (Fr.-Baylis, Ill.) drove in the winning run in a 9-8 win in the second game.
The Tigers swept their opening conference games of the season and picked up two wins in the team's first games since March 6. IWC did it with some early runs and pitching in the first game, scoring three times in the top of the first inning.
Jerri Fuentez (Sr.-Houston, Texas) singled in a run and Haleigh Hempen (Jr.-Hamilton, Ill.) drove in a pair to make it 3-0 in the first. The margin was more than enough for Winner, who allowed just runner to advance as far as third base.
The Tigers and Saints went back and forth in the second game. IWC took a 1-0 lead in the first on a sacrifice fly by Hilarie Droz (Sr.-Ottumwa, Iowa). Ashford came back with three in the bottom of the third inning, but Wesleyan erupted for six runs in the fourth for a 7-3 lead.
The Saints battled back with one in the fourth, three in the fifth and then a run in the sixth to take an 8-7 lead. The Tigers scored twice in the ninth, though, as Hempen drove in pinch runner Mallory Crane (So.-Des Moines, Iowa) with the tying run and Ward followed later by reaching on an error as Hempen scored the lead run. Winner closed it out by striking out the side in the bottom of the seventh, and in all pitched 2 2/3 innings for the win in relief of starter Rebecca Wilson (Fr.-Algonquin, Ill.).
Hempen, Kelley Bettag (Fr.-Dale, Ind.) and Stephanie Benge (Sr.-Mount Pleasant, Iowa) all had three hits on the day for IWC, which improved to 4-10 overall this year. Ashford fell to 0-10 this year.
The two teams will play another doubleheader Sunday starting at noon in Clinton.

FEEDBACK COLUMN: If you know where to look, heroes are easy to find
I used to believe in all of this: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Pete Rose, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa at the height of their epic home run chase and the Detroit Lions making it to the Super Bowl while I'm still alive.
Fifty-four years is a long time to live and learn.
Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny speak for themselves. I will never stop believing. As long as the stocking is full on Christmas and the Jelly Beans and Peeps keep appearing in the Easter basket, no need to rock the boat.
Rose, Woods, Armstrong, McGwire, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, McGwire, Sosa, and now Manti Te'o of Notre Dame fame/shame were all athletes I truly admired at one time or another.
Heroes! All of them.
People you could idolize, model yourself around, aspire to be like, get caught up in the dream, believe in, want to reach out and touch, get close to, hear more of their story, believe their story.
Rose, banned for life for gambling on baseball, was who I wanted to be as a kid. Charlie Hustle, he was called. No one played the game harder than Pete. No one did more with less. Rose would sprint to first after a walk.
Now, the man with more hits (4,256) than any other player to wear a big league uniform sits in disgrace on the outside looking in.
Armstrong and Woods were the two stories I swallowed hook, line and sinker, probably because I wanted to believe. Their accomplishments were truly off the charts. They didn't break records, they smashed them. They didn't beat the competition, they beat and trashed all challengers. How could an athlete like Armstrong, who was doing so much good with his Livestrong cancer research foundation, be dishonest enough to cheat his way to seven Tour de France cycling championships? How could Armstrong pass that many drug tests, sue that many people successfully and lie for so many years?
Likewise, Woods rose through the ranks in his sport like never seen before. An athlete with a squeaky-clean image who was groomed to be the best golfer in the world since the age of 4. Woods came out of the womb swinging a club. If Woods wasn't playing or near the top of the leader board, somehow I found other things to do on Sunday. Continued...
Clemens, the best allegedly clean pitcher I have seen in my lifetime. Bonds, the best juiced home run hitter the game has ever seen. The frauds that are McGwire and Sosa, who brought strike-angry baseball fans running back to their seats with a steroid-induced successful run at Roger Maris' single-season home run record.
Sure, I once believed in all of them. I believed because I wanted to believe. I believed because I grew up surrounded by coaches and mentors who preached hard work and sportsmanship more than winning at any cost.
That was then. This is now.
The people I have the most faith in, the ones I consider to be hero-like today, those who go to work to keep you informed and, basically, ask for just a little respect in return are the eight members of The Oakland Press sports department.
I could rant on and on about Armstrong, Te'o and others.
Instead, I choose to salute the people I see every day, those I go to battle with trying to bring home the best sports coverage online and in print, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They've been through a lot of downsizing, put up with a ton of increased workload and weathered their own personal storms, yet they manage to publish one of the top three rated suburban sports sections in the country for six years in a row. Unlike many of the pro so-called superstars, these are people who don't take shortcuts, stay until the last "T" is crossed and the last tweet is sent.
Heroes are people like Dave Pemberton, the Pistons' beat writer for The Oakland Press, who stared cancer in the eye this year and beat it. Pemberton missed several months of work, underwent extensive chemotherapy treatments and is finally back doing what he does best, covering the NBA and helping out with high school sports coverage.
Champions are like Matthew B. Mowery, who came back to work days after his wife gave birth to their first son, Christopher Matthew, to help provide content for a 40-page World Series section and jump on a plane to San Francisco to cover the Tigers.
Champions, in my book, are people like MIPrepZone.com editor Jason Schmitt, who has engineered the expansion of our high school website throughout the metropolitan Detroit area. MIPrepZone.com now has seven home pages reaching households from Dearborn to Ann Arbor and Anchor Bay to St. Clair Shores as well as Oak Park to Ortonville.
High school sports coordinator Keith Dunlap brings the same work ethic as Schmitt to the table. Dunlap scheduled his wedding around Christmas vacation, partly because that's the best time to go on a honeymoon cruise, but mostly so he wouldn't miss many high school basketball games. That's dedication. Continued...
I look up to people like Pat Caputo, the senior columnist who has been able to change with the times by adapting to multiple sports journalism platforms. Be it livestreaming, talking on the radio, appearing on TV or conversing with his 14,000-plus Twitter followers, Caputo is indeed the face of The Oakland Press.
Just as today's pro football players are bigger, faster and stronger, today's sports journalists are also faster, smarter, able to wear more hats, can change on the fly and hustle more than ever before.
Take Drew Ellis, for example. In one short year, Ellis has covered several high school beats, assisted with coverage of Tigers and Pistons, taken over the college football beat and designed several special sections, including the 40-page World Series section. That's coming through in the clutch.
Lions' beat writer Paula Pasche, on top of covering the most dysfunctional team in the history of pro sports, writes a blog, tweets, shoots video, conducts live chats each week, works the sports copy desk in the off-season and — when time permits — pedals the book she wrote entitled, 100 Things Lions Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die.
And, finally, Marvin Goodwin has been covering wrestling, cross country, track and boxing at this newspaper since the mid-70's. Much has changed since the day of the typewriter, whiteout, carbon paper and teletype. Gone is the electric typewriter. It's been replaced with new gadgets like flip cameras, laptops and cell phones. Through it all, Goodwin continues to persevere on press on.
Yeah, these are real, genuine, hard-workng, put-it-all-on-the-line kind of people I want to role up my sleeves and go to work with every day.
Heroes don't cheat. Heroes get up at 6 in the morning, reach for the cup of coffee, head off to work, volunteer to coach their son's or daughter's soccer team and pay the bills.
For the record, I still believe in Santa Claus. I still believe the Lions will win the Super Bowl, too.
Each week, The Oakland Press encourages readers to sound off about topics appearing in the sports section. Send your thoughts and opinions to sports editor Jeff Kuehn at email@example.com. Be sure to include your name, hometown and phone number for verification purposes.
Fodder to consider this week includes: Continued...
n Are you satisfied with the admission of guilt when it comes to taking performance enhancing drugs by Lance Armstrong. His your opinion of him changed as a result of his interview with Oprah Winfrey? Should he be allowed to compete again?
n Armstrong has and will continued to pay a heavy price in terms of titles lost, endorsements lost, future earnings lost and image lost. Is the price he will pay enough? Is it too much? What should the punishment be for athletes who cross the line and use performance enhancing substances?
n After today, the Super Bowl will be set. Feel free to offer up your expertise as to which of the remaining teams will win and why.
n Finally, hockey and the Red Wings are back. Some experts believe Detroit's streak of 21 straight playoff appearances is in jeopardy because of the retirement of Nicklas Lidstrom and Tomas Holmstrom, the loss of Brad Stuart on defense and goaltending. What do you think? Are the Red Wings a playoff team. If so, how far will they go?

I just finished reading all the posts regarding our grandson Tyler. Thank you Toots and Bana for posting this, and thank you everyone for your thoughts and pr ay ers. This has been such an incredible journey with such an outpouring of faith and love. We are indeed blessed, our grandson is safe and at home probably right now. He was getting dismissed this afternoon. He made surgery just fine, came out with a rod, some plates and pins. They have bound his shoulder. Incredibly, no internal injuries. Bones will heal. We looked at the wreck scene this afternoon. No wonder no one could find him. Between being unconscious and awake, he had tried since coming to on Sunday morning to crawl out. He said he'd hitch his dangling leg up and try to scoot his shoulder up and crawl, then slide back down. We had rain, heavy frost and more rain. Thank G 0 D for the rain because he used a broken head lamp from the truck to catch rainwater to drink. Monday night he said he was hurting so bad and he was so cold that he just pr ay ed to die and G 0 D said, no, you're not done yet...so Tuesday morning he said he looked around and saw a place that was less steep and he felt urged to go that way...he thinks he started at daylight, doesn't really remember, but he said he felt like something was pushing him. He finally crawled up and laid under the guardrail of the interstate. He was hoping that someone would see him and stop, and Praise the L O R D, a trucker stopped, called the state police and told them there was a body on I-65 and gave them the location. A car with two women stopped as well and one was a nurse. They were from Biloxi, Miss. The nurse asked Tyler could she do anything and he asked for something to drink and could she call his momma and daddy. When the call came in and my son Lee saw the ID, he dismissed it thinking it was work related...the call came back and he though ok, ok...and he answered it and Tyler said "Hello Daddy". Our pastor was standing beside Lee when he took the call, Lee fell back, almost in a faint and our pastor caught him. We went to the wreck scene this afternoon. I cannot believe my child or anyone could have survived this. He was airborne, took out a reflective sign indicating a coming curve, but who misses a sign in a series @ 65 miles per hour...since there were no skid marks there was nothing to indicate a wreck of any kind. I took pictures and did not use the zoom lens to try and show the depth and steepness of this ravine. Tylers little brother, all 6ft 2" of him, went down into the ravine. He is wearing a red shirt if you can see him. Again, thank all of you. Now maybe we can get back into our little life routine, but we will never forget the incredible blessing we have received. ve | |||
What a story!!! So glad he's safe...praying that G od will continue to watch over Tyler. Sending healing energies for those bones of his. You can rest easy now vera ellen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I've decided to quit my job, drop out of society, and wear live animals as hats." | ||||
admin. took my reply! It will have to surfice, for now, that a gardening partener has returned, safe and a little injured, but as you have said, bones will heal. So many of us are thankful that Tyler is home and doing well. | ||||
Thanks for updating us on Tyler. He certainly had someone looking out for him!! We'll keep praying that he heals soon. Quite a story. Very strong young man!! | ||||

OMG, that is really amazing. That is a really steep!! No way could I have ever climbed up that steep ravine! (even if I was his age) Someone was definitely watching over him, thank GQD. He was very lucky not to have had more injuries. His bones will definitely heal, and I hope he has a fast recovery! (mine did I had a fracture last Dec) Wishing You A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
So glad things will be getting back to more normal for all of you. Keeping your whole family in my thoughts. Miracles do happen and we humans have strengths we don't know about until they are tested. Please give Tyler all our best & and our wishes for his speedy recovery. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
This Thanksgiving will certainly be ultra meaningful for your family, VE. | ||||
Thanks everyone - and yes, we will trulyhave a thankful thanksgiving. here is a link to the video clip that was on the Today show this morning...if anyone cares to watch it. Tyler's experience has gone viral...we know for a fact that it's reached England and Ireland. Now that he's home and safe, hopefully, our little countryside will settle back into it's peaceful routine....however, Tylers story is an amazing one of determination and faith. http://video.today.msnbc.msn.c...ay/49759106#49759106 thanks again everyone...much love and hugs. ve | ||||
thanks for sharing. my whole family was praying too.. and we will be thanking G0D at our thanksgiving table for Tyler's rescue. | ||||
Vera, so nice that you are back and with wonderful news taboot! It's terrible that is injury's are so extensive, but is a much better outcome than what could have been. Love to all your family! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! There are no gardening mistakes, only experiments. Janet Kilburn Phillips | ||||
Thanks for sharing. It's truly a blessing from the good L*O*R*D above. | ||||
I truly believe Tyler did have someone who helped him up that hill. We had a very good friend who was in an underground explosion and told everyone how someone helped him up the ladder to safety. There was people who were all around who all said he walked up on his own accord. Vera, so thankful he is safe and now home to heal. "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain." | ||||
Vera, I am so glad to hear that Tyler is back safe in the arms of his family!!! Pray$ers sure were answered. Wish my schedule would allow me to come on up to your house and give you a hug in person. I'm at Birmingham for a mini quilting retreat. Anyway, you and your famiy have been in my thoughts for days. Consider yourself hugged big time, and a hug for Tyler too.

Both the Medical Director and Interim Director for the newly independent Grayson County Health Department were named on Tuesday, May 7.
The Health Department Board voted to name Gigi Meredith, the current Clinical Director, as the Interim Director to handle the clinical aspects of the health department during its switch from being managed by the Lincoln Trail District to being locally-run.
Dr. Joseph Lee, a pediatrician at Leitchfield Pediatric Clinic and a member of the board, was voted in to fill the Medical Director position.
Meredith said that Lee will be "overseeing the medical part of the health department, but he will not be in the clinic seeing patients," and that she will be overseeing the day-to-day operations in the clinic.
Both Meredith and Lee will be handling the upcoming changes within the department while ensuring that patients continue to receive excellent care.
"Just know that the transition is still in progress," Meredith said, "and we're working hard to make sure that it's a smooth transition for the public and for the employees."
The department will become independent from Lincoln Trail as of July 1, and Meredith said that within a year from that date, the group advertise for the permanent position of Health Department Director.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be trying to avoid matching a season-high three-game losing streak when they visit the lowly Orlando Magic on Friday. Oklahoma City's bid to overtake San Antonio for the top seed in the Western Conference took a hit when it fell to Denver and Memphis on back-to-back nights. The losses dropped the Thunder 2 1/2 games behind the Spurs, but they have a chance to make up ground with a favorable four-game stretch in which they will also face Washington and Minnesota.
Orlando continues to limp toward the finish line, having absorbed five straight defeats during a grueling stretch that features seven straight games against teams that are currently in the playoff mix. That includes a pair of meetings against the Thunder as well as matchups against Indiana, New York and Miami. The Magic have dropped 27 of 31 to join Charlotte as the league's only teams to reach 50 losses.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, Fox Sports Oklahoma, Fox Sports Florida (Orlando)
ABOUT THE THUNDER (50-19): Oklahoma City received 52 points from Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in the overtime loss at Memphis, but the rest of the starting lineup was invisible, combining for only nine points. Power forward Serge Ibaka had scored in double figures in 11 of 12 games before he was limited to a total of eight points and eight rebounds against Denver and Memphis. Worse yet, he did not get to the free-throw line in either game. Ibaka had a strong outing against Orlando last Friday, going for 20 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots.
ABOUT THE MAGIC (18-51): Starting center Nikola Vucevic missed his first game of the season Wednesday due to illness, opening the door for rookie Kyle O'Quinn to make a strong contribution off the bench. A second-round pick out of Norfolk State, the 6-10 O'Quinn had 12 points and 14 rebounds in 25-plus minutes - logging season highs in each department. "Coach allowed me to get out there and trusted me on the court," O'Quinn said. "That just shows improvement right there, so it gives you a comfort level."
1. Oklahoma City has won three straight and six of seven against Orlando.
2. Magic leading scorer Arron Afflalo is 2-for-22 from 3-point range in his last five games.
3. The Thunder have lost three straight only once this season, from Feb. 12-20.
PREDICTION: Thunder 106, Magic 99

Things to Do in Tupelo
Recommended Things to Do by Groupon Customers
Author William Faulkner, satirist Stark Young, and art collector Mary Skipwith Buie share something in common—they've all lent their legacies to The University of Mississippi Museum. Originally opened in 1939, the complex encompasses the one-time home of Faulkner, Rowan Oak; registered Mississippi landmark Walton-Young Historic House, which housed famed satirist Stark; and a historic art museum built around Buie's private collection. Today, the museum uses its three sites to preserve and showcase the artistic past and cultural heritage of the American South through exhibits, demonstrations, and education. Guides lead scheduled tours though the historic homes and the museum exhibitions to avoid waking napping sculptures.
Rotating exhibits center on genres such as Southern folk art by self-taught painters, ancient Chinese ceramics art, and mixed-media works by modern artists. The four permanent collections provide a home for lasting assemblages of 19th-century scientific instruments; Greek and Roman works of art; pieces by American modernists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove, and John Marin; and a range of Civil War relics, antique costumes, and letters penned by George Washington and John Adams. As part of the museum's focus on education, instructors lead adult studio workshops on topics such as outdoor nature photography, woodcut printmaking, and watercolors. They also let younger artists explore exhibits, use studio space, and question German expressionism's use of forced perspective in ArtZone and summer camp programs.
Tucked northwest of Sardis Lake just above John W. Kyle State Park, Mallard Pointe Golf Course showcases undulating bermuda-grass fairways that offer sweeping views of the area's towering trees. Designed by Bob Cupp, the course's layout challenges players with back-to-back par 5s on the lengthy 6th and 7th holes, as well as on the 10th and 16th holes, requiring players to break at least once for s'mores while trekking from tee to green. Before hitting the fairways, swingers can take advantage of an extensive practice area consisting of a 350-yard driving range with six target greens and 100 hitting stations, a 10-acre grass-tee area, and a practice fairway bunker.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par-72 course
- Length of 7,004 yards
- Course rating of 73.8
- Slope rating of 131
- Four tee options

At The Clay Canvas's child-friendly contemporary ceramics studio, customers of all crafting levels dabble in DIY activities ranging from pottery painting to hand-building moist-clay pieces. Children's summer camps, workshops, and other classes help youngsters take steps toward skilled painting or overcoming a fear of sitting at a potter's wheel that may be surrounded by friendly ghosts. The Clay Canvas also engages with the local artist community by selling finished pieces at the studio.

"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
You know what's going to happen, right? Bargnani will eventually drop a very efficient 35 points and 8 boards, combined with passable defense one night, and the puffed out chests of fans will come out in full force.
The saga continues.....
"I don't lie. I willfully participate in a campaign of misinformation." - Fox Mulder
"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
Here's to hoping Colengelo knows, that even (especially) if Bargnani plays lights out for the next stretch, trading him is still a priority.
+1. Start him at the 3, move Ed into the starting lineup. Young lineup, and probably put ourselves back a year, but the team building forward would be extremely strong, and each compliment one another. Lowry, Derozan, Parsons, Davis, JV. May not be Rudy Gay or Paul George, but hell, still a good alternative!
*sigh* We can dream can't we?
#TradeBargnani #FreeRaptorsFans
Great game from Andrea but every game is tainted - at least for me. So sad.
I can truly relate to this: http://blogs.thescore.com/raptorblog...ents/#comments

"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
Things really are not going well for Gasol with D'Antoni in LakerLand:
Ouch on bold.Asked about not playing the whole fourth quarter, Gasol said: "I don't remember the last time that has happened in my career."
After using Antawn Jamison over Gasol late, D'Antoni's explanation was: "I was thinking I'd like to win this game, that's what I was thinking."
Despite Jamison taking a more aggressive mindset and delivering 16 points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes, Gasol had just six points, four rebounds and three turnovers in 27 minutes.
Gasol wants more post-up chances, even in D'Antoni's spread-floor offense.
"I'm getting most all my looks as jump shots," Gasol said. "I would like to see something close to the basket, and not just by rolling — especially when Dwight is there. But we'll see. We'll figure it out. We just started, pretty much."
Gasol added: "How I get going is by getting in the paint and creating off the post and things like that. That's historically how I've been very successful and how I've made a really good name for myself and earned my contracts.
"But hopefully I'll find a way or we'll find a way to get me a few opportunities there, too, and to get myself going that way and to be more effective."
Bargnani/Fields for Gasol? I think the trade makes LA better due to D'Antoni's system.
How many teams in the NBA are going to be willing and able to acquire Gasol? That is a big contract for an older player.
I think Gasol makes Toronto immediately much better and provides them with a big trade chip next year.

Sounds like the lakers are looking for a 4 that can stretch the floor..
*ding ding ding ding ding*
We have ourselves a suitor!
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
We need a better post presence and a veteran to help steady the ship of development.
I didn't want Gasol here, but for the time being he would do wonders to our morale!
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
Scathing..... and true:
The gracious thing for me to do would be to express great regret that I will be no longer covering the Raptors after 10 years of devoting a significant portion of my life doing so, but Im choosing honesty over grace in this post. The truth of the matter is that when I consider what it will be like to no longer feel obligated to watch every Raptors game and express my opinions about them, I feel nothing. This franchise has finally sapped my will to give a crap about it.What isnt debatable is that this franchise has been a miserable failure since I started RaptorBlog in October 2002. The Raptors only made the playoffs twice during that period, and they lost in the first round both times. I often joke that I cursed the franchise when I started this blog. The joke has grown old, and so has my will to get outraged over all the things that have pissed off Raptors fans in the past decade. Too many of those frustrations show no signs of going away, and Im tired of pointing out problems that almost everybody except for the employees of this franchise seem capable of understanding or willing to change because ongoing profitability makes those changes unnecessary.
It wasnt the ongoing incompetence that destroyed my passion for this team, it was the tolerance for that incompetence. From the players to the coaches to the front office, its become increasingly clear that the Toronto Raptors are doomed to indefinite irrelevance as long as they can continue to make money with bread and circuses. Every sports fan has their own relationship with their favorite sport and team, but I prefer to treat sports as a fun distraction from the daily grind that most of us have to endure to make ends meet and get out of bed every morning. This team ceased to serve that purpose for me a long time ago, so I plan to go forward with an approach to sports where I watch whatever games interest me most on that particular day. Most of the time, Raptors games are only interesting to the masochistic diehard fans who inexplicably revel in complaining about the outrage du jour after another loss.
I used to fantasize about how cool it would be to write about the exquisite relief of the Raptors finally winning an NBA championship. I now recognize what a sad and unrealistic fantasy that was. Even when exciting new players like Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas join the roster, the Raptors somehow continue to marinate in fail-sauce one way or another. Im tired of stressing out about this team I have far more important things to worry about.

"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
Matt52, I found that article to be whiny. Raptors have at least made it to the 2nd round before, as well as experienced being division champions. Cant say the same for the Warriors or Wizards.
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
Heh, guess I'm just in denial that it's so close to Christmas already (hate holiday shopping).
I'm actually all for going after Gasol. Sure, he's been less impressive lately, but he'd be the focus of our team and I think he's talented and cerebral enough that he could show a revival and play for us for some time yet. If not, his deal is only 2 years, so we'd get out from under it earlier than Barg + Fields. Basically, we'd be paying ~$40M over 2 years instead of ~$50M over 3.

Lions target Beast
15 Dec 2010
The Lions are chasing Springbok prop Beast Mtawarira's signature ahead of the 2011 season.
Private investors have provided the Lions with a substantial financial boost, and they now have the cash to attract big name players to Johannesburg.
They've already signed fringe Bok Bandise Maku and promising wing Lionel Mapoe, and are rumoured to be in talks with World Cup-winning Boks Butch James and Frans Steyn. Now Mtawarira is being mentioned as a possible recruit.
According to Beeld, Mtawarira has been made a financial offer that could prove difficult to refuse. The complication is that he's bound to a three-year contract with the Sharks, having signed a contract-extension in October.
The Durban-based union are responsible for Mtawarira's development, having recruited him from Zimbabwe and moved him from loose forward to prop. The Sharks are hoping that Mtawarira shows some loyalty and honours his contract.

Thomas Jefferson was a very busy man. He drafted the Declaration of Independence, was the United States' Minister to France, Secretary of State, Vice President, and America's third President. In the midst of a prolific public career, Jefferson maintained a vibrant private life: father, friend, farmer, inventor, and America's first great architect.
Host Steve Thomas explores the private versus the public Jefferson as reflected in the restoration of Poplar Forest, his hideaway retreat, considered to be one of his most extraordinary architectural achievements. He also travels to two of Jefferson's other monumental achievements: the Virginia State Capitol, Jefferson's first public building, designed while in Paris in 1785; and the University of Virginia, his last major architectural endeavor, designed in 1817.

Boys basketball: Lewisville clutch at the charity stripe in win over Marcus
By Justin Thomas, firstname.lastname@example.com
LEWISVILLE -- When the final seconds ticked off the clock Friday, Lewisville's boys basketball team mobbed midcourt in celebration of its 46-37 victory over rival Marcus.
And with good reason. The win snapped a seven-game losing skid for the Farmers against the Marauders that dated back to Feb. 3 of 2009 and propelled Lewisville (3-2) into sole possession of third in District 5-5A ahead of the Marcus (2-3).
"I could tell by the reaction that this meant a lot," said Gary Collier, Lewisville head coach. "A lot of the guys have been here for four years and haven't really come close to beating Marcus. Football guys and basketball guys. It was very good to experience this victory and was big in the overall scheme of things and in terms of playoff positioning."
"I thought both teams played hard and did some really good things," said Clay Cody, Marcus head coach. "[Ward] hit a really big shot and we came down and got some good looks throughout, we just couldn't make enough. The game was a little closer than the final score when we had to start fouling but you have to give Lewisville credit."
The Farmers finished off Marcus with a stretch of 11-of-12 free throws in the final two minutes.
"The kids did a great job of playing until the end," Collier said. "If we can just keep games close, we normally win those. If you look at our wins and losses, we win the close ones and the ones we lose are by 15 or 20. That's how it is a lot with a young team."
Marquis Williams was 5-of-6 from the line in the closing minutes, while Anthony Davis converted three en route to a team-high 14 points. Davis also knocked down a 3-pointer in the fourth to put the Farmers in front, 33-31.
The lead was short-lived, however, as Jack Holden -- who posted a game-high 15 points for the Marauders -- scored on a lob from Michael Mayhew to even the contest and put Marcus back in front on a pair of free throws after drawing the fourth foul on Davis with four minutes left.
But despite Davis being relegated to the bench momentarily, the Farmers responded to take the lead and pull away.
"Anthony is one our better players and got in foul trouble but we went to Caleb Loggins and he did a very good job," Collier said. "That's the benefit of having a deep team."
Jaden Wright chipped in 10 points for the Farmers, including a pair of 3-pointers in the third quarter as Lewisville outscored Marcus, 8-3.
Lewisville used the press to harass Marcus throughout, forcing 15 turnovers while committing just nine of their own.
"Defensively we wanted to pick them up full-court and use our depth," Collier said. "We wanted to force the tempo and try to get guys tired. It wasn't so much the turnovers we forced at the end as much as it was trying to wear them out."
"They did a good job with their pressure," Cody added. "Our young guards had a little trouble with that. But I was proud of my kids and they did everything we asked them to do. It just comes down them making some big shots and their free throws."
Lewisville looks to improve to 4-2 at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Denton Ryan.
"Our guys are learning how to win games and how to finish games down the stretch," Collier said. "They're just young and I can't wait until they get a more and more experience."
Marcus tries to bounce back at the same time Tuesday when it hosts Coppell.
"These kids are pretty resilient," Cody said. "We have another big one on Tuesday and if we win that, we're looking better for the playoffs.
"We're some much better than we were at the beginning of the year and are getting better each day. You can't measure it and we have a chance to do something a lot of people didn't think we could do."

Working at a job site, I often need to get into an attic space via a storage room. This almost always requires me to use a stepladder, and then transition from the ladder laterally to the attic space. I've done it before. In fact, I've done it lots of times on lots of job sites. On a day earlier this week though, something went wrong. During the transition from the ladder to the attic space, I felt as if the earth had been jerked out from underneath me, and I fell. It wasn't a slow-motion event, or one where I knew just before I fell what was about to happen. One second I was standing firm, the next I was in open air falling. It all happened faster than the blink of an eye.
Looking back, it must have been comical to watch. I felt like Wile-E-Coyote after he had chased Road Runner just a little to far and now found himself flapping like a bird. When I fell, I immediately reaching out for anything to catch myself, but before I could even worry about it, I had hit the ground. I fell 8 feet in total, and a fall from 6 feet can be deadly or cause serious injury. The person I was with was quite worried and kept asking me if I was alright. I got up, checked myself over, noted some scrapes that would definitely turn to bruises, but generally felt fine.
Maybe it was the adrenaline flowing, but I was able to get back on the ladder, get into the attic space, and walk the rest of the job site to complete the survey. When I got back to my car about 90 minutes after my fall, I had a call come in that had gone to voice mail. It was someone calling just to touch base with me, and to let me know they had been praying for me.
I'm not going to go super-spiritual and say that they were praying for me at the exact moment I fell, but I have no doubt it was God's protection that kept this family man out of the hospital or worse. Truth is, getting that call simply reinforced my faith in in the power of prayer, and it also reminded me of one very important lesson regarding prayer for other people.
When God lays someone on your heart to pray for them, you may think you know them well enough to know where they are, what they are doing, and how things are in their life. However, that may not always be the case. In fact, unless the person is there with you when you pray, you have no idea what they might be facing in just that moment. At that moment when you pray, they may have just received some very bad news you may or may not ever hear about, or they may be about to come into harms way and never see it coming.
We all need others who care enough to pray for us. How often has someone drifted into your mind and you thought to pray for them? You simply do not know what someone else might be facing at that moment, or what they will be facing later that day. Take a moment to think of who might be praying for you, and then take another moment to pray.
It's tough to be a man. Not that women have it easier than men, but that the natural tendencies of men tend to bring out contradictions between intentions and results. For example: a wife comes to her husband in tears about how someone at the office has been treating her, and the husband, wanting to come to the rescue of his wife, will instinctively want to give her a list of ways to fight back, or ways she should be acting in response to what is happening. The result of all this helpfulness is either the wife will react defensively in which case an argument may ensue, or the wife may just "give up" emotionally with the feeling that her husband is "out of touch" with her. For his part, the man is confused and is usually left wondering what went wrong.
Whether it is with a spouse or with children, men want to be the hero who comes to the rescue, but often ends up the villain perpetuating and reinforcing whatever problem was brought to his attention to begin with. He may even become part of the problem, even though this was most assuredly never his intention. What really is going on? How can a man break the cycle?
I am well versed with these questions because I am well versed in being a man of the male variety in my own home. Whether it is with my own wife or one of my two daughters, I have found myself frustrated by being caught between the desire to be a real help to my family, and sorely failing. When they are feeling down, it seems I cannot find the right words to cheer them up. When I try to shake them up, they look at me as though I were from another planet with no connection to them whatsoever.
Though I have heard the words and read many articles over this, it has taken many years of marriage and countless interactions to finally sink in: before you can really help anyone, they need to know you understand.
It's not that you agree with them, but that in some way, you come around to their perspective and begin to see the place from where their own emotions are being developed. You begin to see why they are frustrated, and see in a way that you understand. You being to see why they feel the way they feel, why they say the things they say, and why they do the things they do. You somehow get to this point, and then communicate to them that you understand. "I get it" is the message you want to convey.
From there, you now have the opportunity to talk with them instead of talking at them. Now you have the possibility of coming along side them to be an encouragement to offer hope, rather than an outsider who throws comments and advice at them to do this or that. When you truly understand someone, and can communicate that understanding to them, you are perceived as someone who is working along side them, and they will see you as someone who is lending your strength to theirs to move forward. In short, when you understand first, then you can offer hope.
Being able to communicate you understand is not easy. It the difference between yelling at someone and trying to direct them out of harms way, and actually coming alongside them physically, wrapping their arm over your shoulder, and lifting them up as you help them limp along out of harms way. Understanding, at it's root, is compassion; co-suffering with someone else, and leading them to a better place. Understanding the value of understanding is one thing, and putting it into practice difficult. However, when you practice understanding with regularity, you will find the relationships you have now will become much deeper and stronger than you thought they could be.
Last night we had family game night and played the game of LIFE. While not going into all the details of the game itself, there are at least two points in the game where a fork in the road appears. Go one way, and one thing will happen. Go another way, and another thing will happen. What will also happen is that other possibilities of going down one path will become possible, while simultaneously denying the chance that the opportunities of the other path will ever happen. It is a choice. During the game, we can see what will happen and each player gets to choose which scenario they want to play out, however, life is not always so clear.
I have been told, and read in various books by some pretty great leaders, that a man is influenced by the people he meets and the books he reads. What never occurs to some is that the people we ultimately meet, and the books we finally read, are choices that are up to us to make.
Being one of two parents raising two daughters is not easy. Even with the great strength of my wife, together we sometimes feel we are falling short in some areas. We want to raise our daughters to be able to think for themselves, but to do so with the values my wife and I share so that their choices will reflect those values. To a large extent, we exercise great control over their environment, but have given them great latitude to explore, learn, and experience life within those boundaries. The day will quickly come though when they will slip beyond those boundaries into the greater untamed environment of the world we live in, and I think to myself, "How will I prepare them for that day?"
You see, a choice is a fork in the road. It represents a decision to be made, whether to go this way or that. Some choices are obvious when compared to a predetermined set of morals, values, or standards. Other choices are more difficult, and cause us to see and even explore the blur of grey that separates what was a black and white decision before. I want my daughters to understand the choices they make are important, because with each choice a pattern is being forged in their minds. It is a pattern that seeks to be revealed, and eventually one day will tell them who they are.
While certainly, on a purely objective level, anyone is capable of doing anything, there remains that pattern of choices behind us that lays the outline of the choices to be made before us. That pattern can tell us whether or not we are the type of person who would ever do such and such a thing. Most people will immediately recognize that at any moment the pattern can be broken and a different path chosen, but such words are of no comfort to a life lived, a rutted path carved deep, and a way of learning that dictates how things are supposed to be done.
I want to make sure my daughters understand all this. I want them to know that a choice to tell a lie today will make it easier to tell a lie tomorrow, and how a lie many years from now can cause them great harm. I want them to know that the day they slip the boundaries of the protected environment of home, they will come to many different forks in the road. While they will grow to crave and greatly desire the chance to make those choices and decisions in their own lives, what I want them to understand most is that each of those choices will belong to them not so much as a freedom, but as a responsibility. It is a responsibility to bear the consequences and outcomes of those choices personally, to understand that the choices made can also have a great impact on others, and to either enjoy the benefits of good choices or suffer under the weight of bad ones.
Our house has recently become a way station for lizards. You know, the small Anole type lizards you see scurrying around outside? Well now we have them in our house. What is more, these little green travelers are here by invitation. You see, my daughter loves catching them, but keeping them healthy and alive can be challenging. In the past, we have allowed her to catch them and keep them overnight in her little lizard habitat, but in the morning she would have to release them. I could always tell it was a little bitter-sweet for her to let them go, but it was best.
Watching her let a lizard go one night, I asked myself how I could make this bitter-sweet moment into something more. That night I sat and talked with my daughter about lizards, and just started asking questions. As she talked, it became evident that what she knew about lizards was very little, but that she wanted to know more was also evident. So, I went to my office in the house and sat at my computer. Reflecting back on my conversation I drew up a list of questions, or things we would like to know about lizards, and put them with blanks next to the questions. In effect, we came up with a "Catch & Release Report" that she could now perform whenever she caught a lizard.
With the first catch, we went through the process of measuring its length, measuring it on a gram scale, taking pictures of it, noting the time of day and outside temperature, and other factual data. There was also a couple of places just for observation and even a page where there was a blank outline of a lizard so she could color and put in details about the lizard she noted on her own.
My daughter is suddenly very excited about lizards. Before, she caught them because they were a novelty, and now that she is asking questions, her mind has opened up and she is seeing lizards in ways she had never seen them before. She is able to make comparisons in size, color, temperament, and physical details. She is learning. Why? Because she is asking.
This may not sound like such a big deal, but it is an important lesson for everyone in all walks of life, and in the Christian life as well. There is no end of learning until you stop asking questions. If you want to learn how to improve your relationship with your spouse, stop having all the answers and start asking questions. If you want to learn how to improve communication between you and a coworker or your own child, start by asking questions. It is such a small, little word, but has so much power when applied.
When you pray, stop for a moment and ask yourself: am I praying for what I want because I think I have the answers to my own problems? What if you stopped having the answers? What if you simply opened your heart and prayed along the lines of asking God for His answers to your problems? How would that change how you relate to God? How would that affect the way you live your life? Ask.
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" It is a question I ask my two daughters once in a while, and mostly around their birthdays. I want to see what they are thinking, and remind them that a day is coming when they will seek and hopefully find their place in this world according to God's will for their lives. I remind them that God has a plan for them, that God also created them with special gifts and abilities, and that these gifts and abilities were given to them for very specific reasons.
I often wonder how many people are walking around today having never realized their own potential. These people continue day after day to work in jobs they hate, or suffer through desperate situations they wish were different. Then I look at my two daughters and wonder if they will ever realize the potential they have in life, or if they will find professional happiness doing what they love and being paid for it.
I believe we are all created to glorify God with our lives, and I also believe that in order to do that we must live up to the potential for which we are all created; professionally in our jobs, as spouses to our mates, and as parents to our children. The first step is realizing that you were created by God, not some random evolutionary accident. Everything God created not only shows design, but also purpose. This means you also were created with a purpose, a reason for existing, and you have a special part to play in the history of the world.
The next thing we must all realize is that if God created you for a reason, then it is a waste of time to try to be like someone else. We see the search for individuality in youth, and in doing so they ironically end up congregating into groups where everyone tries to be like everyone else with a certain "look" that identifies them with their peers. The simple truth is that you are the only person in the world that can be you better than anyone else. Stop trying to be like someone else, and just be yourself! How often have we heard these words without realizing or understanding that being yourself is exactly what God has designed you to do?!
Like clockwork parts, we can peer inside and understand that each part plays a role in the function of the watch. Some play small roles, but none are so minor that the clock could function well enough without them. Some parts of a clock are on display, some are hidden, some move, while others provide stability by being stationary. Each of us is different for a reason. To criticize someone simply for being different than you is to criticize the work of the Creator who made all men equal and different; each with the equal potential to be the individual person they were created to be.

Chula Vista Nature Center provides guests with dozens of ways to encounter the birds, marine life, and other organisms that call the refuge home. Visitors can pet gentle rays or admire preening sea turtles before visiting the underwater discovery center to spy on majestic sea horses, spotted octopi, and exploding ants. Outside, 1.5 miles of walking trails lead out to the shore of San Diego Bay, offering convenient stops at native-plant gardens, Raptor Row, Eagle Mesa (home to majestic bald and golden eagles), and a shorebird aviary. Among the many native water birds and shorebirds housed by the aviary are light-footed clapper rails, one of California's most endangered bird species.
The Science of…Aliens exhibit has crash-landed at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, offering thrilling glimpses into humanity's long-held belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life forms. The exhibit is split into four star-gazing sections, each offering different POVs on ETs. "Alien Fiction" celebrates sci-fi classics, with movie props and other items detailing our fascination with silver-screen space-dwellers and its connection to ancient mythology, while "Alien Science" covers alien-looking creatures living on planet Earth, such as deep-sea fish and Lady Gaga. Explore two fictional but scientifically credible alien planets—Aurelia and Blue Moon—in the "Alien Worlds" section of the exhibit, or pen a personal love note or jury summons to residents of neighboring galaxies with "Alien Communication."
Among its two facilities in La Jolla and downtown San Diego, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego houses an array of works made since 1950. Head here and you can explore everything from Pop Art and minimalism of the 1960s and 1970s to conceptual pieces from the last half-century, headlined by contemporary-art luminaries such as Andy Warhol and Ai Weiwei.
Major figures aside, the MCASD strives to spotlight mid-career artists still looking for their big break, as well as pieces by Latin American artists and emergent talent. Between the museum's collection and rotating exhibitions, there are galleries that accommodate paintings, photographs, films, and multimedia installations. Outside both locations, there are more site-specific installations and sculptures by artists such as Richard Serra and Marcos Ramírez ERRE, whose father created the Caps Lock on the day his son was born.
There's more to the place than its exhibitions: the museum engages visitors with events and programs such as art-making sessions and artist lectures. Held three evenings a year, the Thursday Night Thing series includes talks, hands-on activities, live music, and cocktails, all based on the latest museum exhibitions.
The Museum of Man, voted runner-up in 10news.com's A-List 2011 Best Museum category, explores and shines a light on the emergence of man with five standing collections and special exhibits, filled with the cultural and physical anthropology artifacts housed and studied within its confines. Mummies are featured in the Ancient Egypt permanent exhibit, grasping the attention of attendees of all ages and complimenting grandparents on their youthful vigor. Tots toddle in the footsteps of archeologists in the Children's Discovery Center's interactive learning experience, Discover Egypt. The museum's 7,000-square-foot west wing bursts at the seams with artifacts from four million years of human evolution, featuring prime pieces of physical anthropological evidence in the Footsteps Through Time exhibit. Photographs collect images of anthropologists in the midst of rapt explorations and discoveries in the temporary Adventures in Photography exhibit, a visual story which spans a hundred years and six continents. Additionally, the Modern Day Mummy and Strange Bones exhibits apply medical know-how to unveil historic secrets of the human body.
The aquarium features small, intimate exhibits, so you don't have to fight crowds to get really close to the hairy hermit crabs. Plus, the friendly and knowledgeable staff is always on hand to answer questions and share interesting facts about the blacktip reef shark, leopard shark, epaulette sharks, or their roommate situation. The aquarium currently has more than 5,000 specimens representing more than 380 species of fishes and invertebrates. Exhibits include colorful displays of live coral (reef residents such as lionfish, chambered nautilus, and giant clams are included), a 70,000-gallon kelp forest tank, and a 2,000-square-foot interactive seahorse exhibit with leafy and weedy seadragons. It's a wondrous wrigglebin for kids, since it has a live tide pool display where you can touch the finger-friendly scales of tide-pool beasts and a water-mechanics exhibit where you can build dams and find out how water power and ocean currents work.

no, my attitude is if you don't like it, don't partake. I'm sure I can find another interested party
on a serious note, it is really interesting (and sad) the level of deep-seated self-loathing and detest women experience for a part of the body that should bring pleasure
Posted 21 April 2010 - 08:44 PM
i didn't watch the video (i'm at work, but will check it out later) but...is that really a 'thing'? do a lot of women not like the appearance of their girl parts? i mean, i guess people who are predisposed to self-loathing will find a reason to be uncomfortable with ANYTHING they can fixate on, but really...do some of them focus all that self-hate on their holiest of holies?

I got this as a spare rugged case. I didnt want to spend the $40+ for the big name brand. For what this sells for it is a good alternative.
It's a wanna be knockoff Otterbox product. It'd be hard to mess up a hard plastic case with a second, knock/bump resistant sleeve....but this manufacturer did. I wouldn't purchase this product again. When I got it the lack of quality was evident. After putting the phone inside the inner case, I installed the soft silicone skin and the port covers wouldn't stay closed, or would bunch up around the bottom when I tried to tuck them in. I'm not happy and it's really not worth the time, effort to try to return for a refund. There is truth in the old adage "you get what you pay for'. Sometimes there's a product which is close, this isn't it.
I really enjoy buying for such a low price. The case last a long time and everyone want one.
this is a cheaply made knock-off of the OtterBox case. shipping was as promised. it was obvious on arrival that the product was cheaply made and not something i was going to use on the phone. there were pieces of rubber still attached around the edges (like from the mold) that needed to be removed. it was all extremely light and, if i had chosen to, i could have snapped the plastic case with next to no effort. we tried it on just to say we did and it was very ill fitted. the plastic part snapped on ok but would have broken easily if put on and off a few times. the outer rubber piece puckered up and created gaps where you could see the plastic underneath. its difficult to describe and i really wish i had taken a picture. i do not think this product would protect the phone from impact damage. we sent it back immediately and i would not recommend this product to anyone. not even as a backup.
It does the purpose. You get what you pay for!! Cheap cheap!!
The case serves it's purpose and protects the phone. However the plastic is not clear and sometimes prevents you from scrolling or you have to press hard to make your selection on the screen. The outer rubber part keeps coming apart from the hard plastic which is annoying. It's ok for the cost of it but I will buy something better quality with a clearer plastic screen next time.
