World Champs! USA Softball Junior Women capture gold with 3-1 win over Japan
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands – As a lazy fly ball landed in the glove of Brittany Lastrapes, the third base dugout emptied onto the field in celebration as the USA Softball Junior Women's National Team defeated Japan 3-1 Saturday afternoon to become the new world champions. The win capped off a perfect 11 days as the Americans went 10-0 to capture the championship of the ISF Junior Women's World Championship at the Tex Town Complex.
The win didn't come easy as the USA had to fight from behind early. Japan scored an unearned run in the top of the first inning to mark just the second time in 10 games the USA has trailed. But the Americans took the lead back in the second inning thanks to a two-run, five-hit effort.
Tiffany Huff (Saugus, Calif.) got the rally going with a single to center field. Ashley Brignac (River Ridge, La.) singled up the middle to put two on with two out. Bianca Mejia (Sylmar, Calif.) came through with a big RBI single up the middle to tie the game. And later in the inning, Lastrapes (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) singled through the right side of the infield to drive in Brignac and give the USA the lead.
The USA tacked on an insurance run in the fifth inning when Monica Harrison (Garden Grove, Calif.) reached on a fielder's choice, driving in Alissa Haber (Newark, Calif.) to make it 3-1. The Japanese team had several chances, putting runners in scoring position in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but couldn't capitalize. In the seventh, Japan got the leadoff runner on and moved her to second on a sacrifice bunt, but Donna Kerr (San Diego, Calif.) got a strikeout and then got Yuki Hayashi to fly out to Lastrapes in left field to set off a wild celebration.
"Obviously, we're all very excited," Lastrapes said. "I'm really proud to represent my country and to be the first USA Junior team to win the gold in 12 years. Even when we fell behind today, we kept battling and we never gave up. We knew we could do it; we just want to panic."
Brignac got the start in the gold medal game and went 3.1 innings. She allowed one unearned run on six hits while walking one and striking out one. Megan Elliott (Prince Frederick, Md.) picked up the win in relief, throwing two strong innings while giving up four hits. Kerr pitched the final 1.2 innings, striking out two, to pick up the save.
"I thought we fought back after falling behind early to put some runs on the board to go ahead," said head coach Jay Miller. "We gave ourselves a chance every inning and I knew it was just a matter of time before we broke through. But Japan did the same thing. We really stepped up defensively and got great pitching from all three girls. They got us out of jams. It was just a great team effort and a great job from the pitching staff to shut down an outstanding Japan team."
At the plate, the USA had five players – Lastrapes, Haber, Ashley Hansen (Chandler, Ariz.), Harrison and Mejia - record two hits apiece, while Huff and Brignac each had one.
Lastrapes was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, and was also named to the all-tournament team as the tournament's best left fielder. She batted .548 with 17 hits, six RBI and five stolen bases. Viefhaus was named the tournament's best third baseman, earning all-tournament honors. She batted .429 with nine hits and six RBI
"I can't explain how I felt when they called my name," Lastrapes said. "I was completely in shock, but I was also so excited. I've never felt that before."
The championship game marked the USA's sixth consecutive time in the gold medal contest, winning in 1987 in Oklahoma City, Okla., 1995 in Normal. Ill., and now 2007 in Enschede, Netherlands. For the tournament, the Red, White and Blue outscored its opponents 88-4.
"I'm just really proud," Miller said. "The kids bought in to what we were trying to do from day one and came together as a ball club. I'm very proud of the way they represented the United States and USA Softball. This was a great group to work with. The coaching staff – Suzy Brazney, Barbara Jordan and Cheri Kempf – did a wonderful job in terms of scouting our opponents and preparing our team to play. It was just a great team effort by everyone involved."

USA Softball Escapes with 1-0 Victory
Surrey, B.C., - Japan Elite kept the red, white and blue offense at bay as the USA National Softball team escaped with a 1-0 victory over Japan Elite today in the opening game of the 14th Annual Canada Cup International Women's Fastpitch Tournament at Softball City in Surrey, B.C. Monica Abbott (Salinas, Calif.) earned the win for the team striking out seven of the nine batters she faced.
Jennie Finch (La Mirada, Calif.) got the start in the circle for the red, white and blue in the team's first outing of the season. After the No. 1 and No.2 batters reached with hits, Finch responded with two strikeouts to keep the runners stranded.
Caitlin Lowe (Tustin, Calif.) led off with a single in the first and that would be the only hit for the U.S. until the third when Natasha Watley (Irvine, Calif.) struck with a single down the third baseline.
Jennie Ritter (Dexter, Mich.) came at the top of the fourth after Finch threw three complete innings, allowing two hits. Jessica Mendoza (Camarillo, Calif.) provided solid defense for Ritter in left field chasing down two hard hit balls, shutting down any potential extra base hits.
Kelly Kretschman (Indian Harbour, Fla.), in her first appearance with the National Team since 2005, put up the team's third hit with a single to third base but was left stranded on second leaving the score at 0-0 heading into the 5th-inning.
During the fifth, the U.S. escaped a run as Mendoza threw in a blooper hit over the head of third baseman Andrea Duran (Selma, Calif.) into catcher Amanda Topping (Whittier, Calif.) for an out at home. After allowing two hits in the fifth, Ritter was taken out of the game and Abbott came in with a runner in scoring position at second and one out. Japan Elite continued to battle the pitching staff as the first batter Abbott faced, laid down a bunt to put runners at first and third with one out. However two strikeouts by Abbott left two runners stranded and the score at a stand still.
The U.S. offense came alive in the fifth with Lowe leading off with her second hit of the day followed by a single by Watley. Mendoza flied out to center but the bases were loaded off a single by Crystl Bustos (Canyon County, Calif.). Kretschman was hit by a pitch and plated Lowe for the first and only run of the game.
Abbott kept runners off the base paths through the sixth and seventh, striking out five of the six batters faced in the final two innings.

USA Junior Women advance to gold medal game with 3-0 win over Japan
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands – A four-hit shutout from Ashley Brignac (River Ridge, La.) and several key hits propelled the United States into the gold medal game with a 3-0 victory over defending world champion Japan Friday evening at the ISF Junior Women's World Championships.
It marks the first win since 1995 that a USA Junior Women's team has had over Japan at a Junior Women's World Championship. Japan had been 4-0 against the Red, White and Blue at the past two Junior World Championship (1999 and 2003).
"I thought we did a nice job coming out and putting runners on base, which gave us opportunities," said head coach Jay Miller. "We put a runner on base in every inning, which is what you need to do. That's a good sign heading into the gold medal game.
"We got a great pitching performance by Ashley and Rosey called a great game. We made the plays defensively, we needed to make. The big key was keeping the leadoff runner off base every inning. That really makes it easier for the defense. We had some big hits throughout order, which is another good sign going into the final game."
The USA struck first, scoring an unearned run in the second inning. Monica Harrison (Garden Grove, Calif.) singled and then Neena Bryant (Placentia, Calif.) reached on an error to put two on with no one out. Tiffany Huff (Saugus, Calif.) reached on a fielder's choice, but on the play, second baseman Marina Kira flipped the ball past the shortstop covering second base and into the outfield, allowing Harrison to come around and score.
In the fourth inning, the USA struck for two more runs to make it 3-0. Bryant singled to lead off the inning and eventually was driven in by a double from Huff to left-center field. After Rosey Neill (Laguna Hills, Calif.) moved her to third base with a ground out, Brittany Lastrapes (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) drove her in with a single to center field.
Those runs would be more than enough for Brignac, who turned in a dominating performance against one of the top offenses at the tournament. She scattered four hits in seven innings, walking none and striking out 10. The win moves her to 4-0 for the tournament.
"I think this was our best game since we've been here," Brignac said. "Everyone was pumped and now we're ready for tomorrow. The elements were a little difficult, but I'm used to that. The rain is the worst one to deal with, but you have to do what you have to do. Just about everything was working for me today. I stayed with my best pitch and that's what they were going after. If we face [Japan] again, I'll have the same game plan."
At the plate, the USA pounded out 10 hits, led by three from Alissa Haber (Newark, Calif.). Harrison and Huff each had two hits while Lastrapes, Maggie Viefhaus (Pacific, Mo.) and Bryant each had one.
"It doesn't matter who we see," Miller said. "It wouldn't surprise me to see Japan, and it wouldn't surprise me to see another team. Any of the three teams left, we have seen. Whoever it is, I think the kids will be ready."
The Red, White and Blue, now 9-0, advances to the gold medal game Saturday at 2 pm local time, 7 am Central, against the winner of the bronze medal game. The USA has played in each of the previous five gold medal games at this event, held every four years. In four of those five times, the USA faced Japan. The USA beat China in 1987, lost to Japan in 1991, beat Japan in 1995 and fell to Japan in both 1999 and 2003.

June 28, 2007USA advances with 6-2 win over Venezuela
ENSCEHDE, Netherlands – A bases-clearing double from Tiffany Huff (Saugus, Calif.) in the fourth inning broke open a close game as the United States advanced Thursday in the medal round at the Junior Women's World Championships with a 6-2 win over Venezuela.
"I think this game helps us get back in the swing of things where you have to make adjustments at the plate and do some things to be successful," said head coach Jay Miller. "I'm frustrated with leaving 12 runners on base. We had a lot of opportunities to break things open early, but we didn't. On the other hand, we gave ourselves ample opportunities to win and we did. We got good, solid pitching from Ashley and Megan and got the big hits when we needed them."
The USA jumped out to an early lead by scoring two runs in the first inning. Maggie Viefhaus (Pacific, Mo.) drove in Alissa Haber (Newark, Calif.) with a single down the left field line and a single by Neena Bryant (Placentia, Calif.) drove in Viefhaus.
Venezuela cut the lead in half in the third inning, scoring an unearned run on a throwing error by Monica Harrison (Garden Grove, Calif.).
The game remained a one-run contest until the USA scored four runs in the fourth inning to put the out of reach. Harrison's infield single plated Ashley Hansen (Chandler, Ariz.) and then Huff came through with a double to deep left field to drive in Brittany Lastrapes (Laguna Niguel, Calif.), Bryant and Harrison to make it 6-1. Venezuela added another unearned run in the sixth inning to account for the final score.
Ashley Brignac (River Ridge, La.) improved to 3-0 in the tournament with 5.0 innings of solid work. She allowed two unearned runs on two hits while walking one and striking out 10. Megan Elliott (Prince Frederick, Md.) came into the game in the sixth inning and shut the door on the Venezuelans, pitching two innings of shutout ball. She allowed just one hit while striking out four.
At the plate, Huff had two hits and three RBI while both Viefhaus and Bryant had two hits and an RBI. Lastrapes, Hansen and Harrison added a hit apiece.
"Today was a big win to stay out of the loser's side," Miller said. "Now, we're sitting in a pretty good situation. Tomorrow gives us a good opportunity to feel the other team out, and see where we're at, because the odds are whoever we see tomorrow, we'll see Saturday. But we want to give ourselves an opportunity to play for the gold and that continues tomorrow."
The Red, White and Blue, now 8-0, advances to play defending world champion Japan Friday at 5:30 pm local time, 10:30 am Central. The winner will move on to Saturday's gold medal game while the loser will have to play in the bronze medal game on Saturday morning for the right to play in the gold medal game.

Hollywood's Copyright Wars: From Edison to the Internet (Film and Culture)
Copyright legislations is necessary to each level of media construction and reception. It is helping make sure filmmakers' creative judgements, Hollywood's company constitution, and the different types of media intake. the increase of electronic media and the web has merely multiplied copyright's succeed in. each person from manufacturers and sceenwriters to beginner video makers, dossier sharers, and web marketers has a stake within the heritage and way forward for piracy, reproduction safety, and the general public area.
Beginning with Thomas Edison's competitive copyright disputes and concluding with contemporary complaints opposed to YouTube, Hollywood's Copyright Wars follows the fight of the movie, tv, and electronic media industries to steer and adapt to copyright legislation. lots of Hollywood's such a lot valued treasures, from smooth instances (1936) to superstar Wars (1977), can't be absolutely understood with no appreciating their criminal controversies. Peter Decherney indicates that the background of highbrow estate in Hollywood has no longer consistently reflected the evolution of the legislations. Many landmark judgements have slightly replaced the industry's habit, whereas a few quieter rules have had progressive results. His so much extraordinary contributions discover Hollywood's reliance on self-regulation. instead of contain congress, judges, or juries in settling copyright disputes, studio heads and filmmakers have usually stored such arguments "in house," turning to expertise guilds and different teams for suggestions. no matter if the problem has been struggling with piracy within the 1900s, controlling the specter of domestic video, or dealing with glossy beginner and noncommercial makes use of of secure content material, a lot of Hollywood's engagement with the legislation has happened offstage, within the better theater of copyright.

That's the bottom line, the line that cannot be crossed, and just about always is. When and where this happens is usually a reliable index of what the film wants us to feel or understand. In the twenty-first century the genre seems temporarily suspended, cut off from its ancient source (Prohibition) of nurture. The Little Caesar type of troublemaker has been absorbed into the culture and replaced by once marginal aberrations: serial killers, psychopaths, drug gangs, outlaw couples, overworked cops with families.
Valentine's Day Massacre (1967) and John Milius's Dillinger (1973). " The gangster hero feels he has mastered reality; his noir equivalent is, often messily, trying to grasp what it is (his is not a situation that promises thrills of triumph and increasing power but rather vicious beatings, sleazy detours, sinister undercurrents, and misplaced hopes). Even the "coolest" noir hero, one strong enough not to buckle under the revelation of all manner of deceit, treachery, hypocrisy, dysfunction, and plain old evil (Mitchum, say, in Out of the Past), remains, first and last, a victim, his sometimes ingenious sleuthing more disillusioning than illuminating.
He is a character who exists as the film reports him to exist. These are essentially traditional, mimetic works—imitative, illusionistic, persuasively real. Conflict is used literally and transparently. The camera's presence is hidden, its processes concealed. The "reality'' of any shot dominates our awareness of the camera's movement or position. Even very noticeable rhetorical conceits like the machine-gunning away of calendar pages in Scarface are in the service of either supplying essential information or become part of the movement of a straight-ahead narrative.

At Worker Care, we want to make sure your employees are getting the best care possible, which means more than just being here when they have an injury. That means helping to prevent lost-time accidents any way we can. This is why we are offering the quadrivalent flu vaccine this year, to help your employees stay strong through flu season. And if you've never heard of the quadrivalent flu vaccine before, not to worry, we've got you covered with some FAQ's:
Quadri-whatsit?! What kind of flu shot is that?
The quadrivalent flu vaccine is designed to protect against four different flu viruses; two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. For years, flu vaccines were designed to protect against three different flu viruses (trivalent); two A viruses and one B virus. Now, experts have finally been able to create a vaccine that protects against the second type of B virus, which means your employees will get much broader protection against circulating flu viruses.
Who can get the quadrivalent flu vaccine?
Different vaccines are approved for different age groups. The quadrivalent flu shots we are offering are approved for people 3 years of age and older. But there is even a quadrivalent flu shot that can be given to children as young as 6 months of age,
Who shouldn't get the quadrivalent flu vaccine?
Different flu vaccines are approved for use in different groups of people. Factors that can determine a person's suitability for vaccination, or vaccination with a particular vaccine, include a person's age, health (current and past) and any allergies to flu vaccine or its components. Don't worry, we'll conduct a thorough screening of your employees to make sure we're giving them the proper vaccine.
Is the quadrivalent flu vaccine safe?
Yes! Flu vaccines that protect against four flu viruses are made in the same way as the flu vaccines that protect agains three viruses, which have been around for years.
I heard you get sick every time you get a flu shot…
The quadrivalent vaccine cannot cause influenza illness, because the vaccine viruses used to make it are 'inactivated' (killed) or attenuated (weakened). You may experience some mild side effects, but trust us, they are way better than getting the flu! Check out "Can the flu vaccine give me the flu?" for more information about flu vaccine side effects.
Ok, I'm sold. How do I sign my employees up?
Just give us a call! We can schedule times to have your employees individually come into one of our three clinics, or we'll even come to you and administer the vaccine right in your office.
Worker Care wants to help make sure your employees are going to be healthy and productive this year, so get in touch with us and schedule your quadrivalent flu shots today!

He was beyond understanding and had my ring finished in an hour. Gave military discount on top of the AMAZING price he charges. I am so thankful I was referred to him and he was able to get my beautiful ring to fit my tiny finger! By far the best jeweler I've been too.

Over the past few weeks, three people that I knew have died from cancer. Although I didn't know any of them very closely, I spent time with them or their family in some capacity and the grief is hitting me as though they were my own family. I suppose in a way, they were. The grief from a death by cancer is personal because my Nonna died a few years ago from that same silent killer. So, the people who have passed recently, they are not only family because I worked with them, or call their children friends, but they are my Nonna. I am reminded of her final days and how every moment I spent with Nonna I was trying to soak in everything. I hung on every word that she said trying to remember her accent, trying to record the words so I wouldn't forget them. Trying to take in the details of her hands that had cooked us so many our of our favorite meals and trying to imprint on my memory the special way she would say my name.
My nonna always told me I was her angel and that I saved her life. During her first round of cancer, she had a surgery to remove the masses that were on her ovaries and diaphragm. I stayed the night with her in the hospital and I woke up to the sound of her not being able to breathe and quickly called the nurses in who were able to help. My nonna was always convinced that if it wasn't for me, she would've died in that hospital room. Maybe that's true, who really knows, but the bond we shared throughout my life was strengthened that night I spent with her and I wished that when the cancer returned I could've done more to help her.
I recently came across something I wrote just after my Nonna died and I had never shared it because everytime I read it the grief was unbearable, but today I read it and with a tear in my eye I smiled remembering these precious moments
Today, my husband, my brother, his girlfriend [now wife] and I went to Nonno and Nonna's house to make her dinner. Nonna was laying in bed when we got there and we slowly helped her out so she could sit in the recliner. I brought my computer so I could show her some home videos of when my brother and I were no more than 5 and 6 years old. I saw her light up again. Color came back in her face and she was laughing and reminiscing about how bossy I was and my brother's shyness.
As my brother helped her out of the chair and into the kitchen, she lost all the color in her face and had to lay back down. She curled up on the couch, breathing slow and deep. Everyone gathered in the kitchen to eat and I sat by the couch. She grabbed my hand, pulled it to her face and just lay there with her eyes closed. She looked at me and said, "I'm sorry you have to see me like this." Trying to hold back tears I said, "No, Nonna. I love you so much." And she just pulled me closer to her chest and as I could feel her tears come, I couldn't hold mine back anymore. She put my face in her hands and looked into my eyes and with tears in hers, she said, "you just remember that in the end, it's just you two. No matter how many kids you have, in the end, it will just be you and Jon. You love your kids. You do your best to teach them right, but you always take care of Jon. God first. Then Jon. You don't always have to be right. Sometimes you're right. Sometimes he's right, but you always have to love. And you remember to not worry about tomorrow. And yesterday is already gone. Today is the most important day you have." It was as if this avalanche of thoughts and advice were flowing out of her, knowing she didn't have much time to share.
I looked at her and said, "Nonna, I just hope I've made you proud." She said, "You have always made me proud. In everything you have done. Even when I didn't like it because I knew you would work everything out and you would be ok." Then, she said, "You are my namesake and I will always be looking for you and after you. I will always be with you, no matter where I am. I don't want to miss the opportunity to tell you that there has always been a special corner of my heart that was only for you."
As much as I wish we didn't have to have moments like these that are so terrifying and emotional, I feel so blessed that we had the chance to sit next to Nonna and let her tell us everything. And let us tell her everything. So, in the end, there are no regrets. She said she was GLAD God gave her cancer because it has allowed her the opportunity for moments like those. She said she wasn't mad at God. "People get mad at God and that's stupid. He always knew what would happen. And He has allowed me the chance to do everything I ever wanted in my life. And I have been so blessed."
We laughed together as Nonno tried to explain to everyone in the other room that he and Dominic are actually smarter than the people in the room that went to college because they let everyone else go to college FOR them. She reminisced about a time I tried to run away from home. She only lived a few doors down and I showed up at her door and didn't say anything, but she knew. (Because she always did.) She said, "You were so stubborn. So strong-willed. And you would never take any shit from anyone because you are strong. Always be strong." She beckoned Jon to sit next to me because it was his turn to receive her wisdom. She spoke of love, and fortresses, and said, "Jon, I love you because she loves you. And because you love her. In the end, because of your love for each other and your love for God, you will be ok. Just remember that."
Dominic and I helped her up to go eat in the kitchen. She sat in her chair and leaned on my brother as he fed her dinner. Something about that scene was powerful to me. Both beautiful and heartbreaking. Nonna, who was such a rock and centerpiece to the family, who had once fed us as we sat on her lap, was now receiving the love and sacrifice she had shared for so many years. When she felt too weak to continue at the table, we brought her back to the couch where she grabbed my hand and made me hold it on her chest as she breathed deeply and slowly ate her dinner.
I don't ever want to forget that moment. I never want to forget what she said to me because I know that she intended for me not to. I write and I remember that this is exactly why writers write. For the real moments to be shared and remembered no matter how painful they are. Because people want to know they aren't alone.
At the end of the evening, Nonno decided it was time for Nonna to go to bed. He came over to her, leaned over and said, "I wish I could help you up. Well, I never could and I never will." So Nonna laughed and told me, "I was always too heavy for him. He couldn't even carry me across the threshold!" I said, "well it's the thought that counts". Nonno started dancing and said, "58 years of paradise. Well, you know what they say I guess. All things come to an end." I said, "They come to an end here Nonno, but you get to keep dancing in heaven. And there, Nonna will be weightless and you'll be Arnold Schwarzenegger".
Not long after that, Nonna would go home to Jesus. My dad, my brother, and I were there, holding her hand and though in that moment we were filled with grief, I was praising God that she wasn't in pain and that she was home. A friend posted this quote upon the recent passing of a friend, wife, and mother of 4. It's from The Last Battle in the Chronicles of Narnia:
"I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now...Come further up, come further in!"
How beautiful a picture it is. The dichotomy of the grief we feel when we lose someone we love. We mourn the loss of their physical presence, and yet rejoice that they have come home at last. I miss my Nonna. There are days with Brighton where I think of her and know she would've loved her. And like a gentle breeze, the grief comes and goes, and is replaced with peace.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 For everything that happens in life—there is a season, a right time for everything under heaven: A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, a time to collect the harvest; A time to kill, a time to heal; a time to tear down, a time to build up; A time to cry, a time to laugh; a time to mourn, a time to dance; A time to scatter stones, a time to pile them up; a time for a warm embrace, a time for keeping your distance; A time to search, a time to give up as lost; a time to keep, a time to throw out; A time to tear apart, a time to bind together; a time to be quiet, a time to speak up; A time to love, a time to hate; a time to go to war, a time to make peace.

All prints were designed and hand printed by me in my studio in Leeds.

All prints in my shop have passed the Sean Mort Print Shop quality test. If you are looking for 100% perfect printing, it's probably best not to buy my prints.
