While the overall North American aluminum market is strong, with a lot of potential for future growth, it remains a tale of two industries, with demand by construction and other non-transportation sectors much more lackluster than automotive and aerospace.
We knew that it would be a long, slow, sluggish recovery coming out of the recession compared with most other recoveries, and that has definitely been the case, said Keith Harvey, senior vice president of sales and marketing for aerospace and general engineering at Kaiser Aluminum Corp., Foothill Ranch, Calif.
Nevertheless, North America is clearly one of the brighter spots globally, according to Gordon Hamilton, vice president of primary metals sales and marketing for Rio Tinto Alcan, Montreal. Overall, North America has been among the most resilient markets, seeing a big bounce back in 2010 and remaining fairly steady ever since, he said, having not suffered the contagion from the European debt crisis that Asia has been experiencing.
On a volume basis, there has been fairly significant improvement, said Bill Sales, senior vice president for nonferrous operations at Los Angeles-based Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co., but how significant that improvement is depends on the market that a particular company targets.

The Marketing Cloud Social Scorecard allows companies to benchmark their social media efforts against the Marketing Cloud Maturity Model across nine important categories. We'll review the stages of each category one post at a time.
Senior leaders are responsible for the vision of a company. Their level of understanding of social media sets the tone for how it will roll out and scale across an organization. The following four stages track social media maturity against senior executives' awareness and activity. In his Dreamforce conversation, General Colin Powell stressed the importance of this awareness. "I think any leader has to have his or her finger on the pulse of what's happening in the information revolution."
Early Stage
Very often, social media begins at a grass roots level within a company. Someone in marketing, PR or corporate communications understands the value of social media to the company and creates a Twitter profile, a Facebook page or even a blog. Sometimes this may be done under the radar by focusing on a discrete event or a specific product. Regardless of where it starts, these pockets of activity are unconnected, and sometimes unauthorized.
Every day your senior leaders can't pick up a magazine, go to a website or turn on the TV without someone telling them that social media is changing business (and our society in general). In this early stage of maturity, they may not even be aware of the company's social media activities, or they may begin to show interest in it. Others throughout the company question the value of social media to the business, and it is your job, if you are the one who started the efforts, to explain that value if you wish to progress beyond this stage.
As companies expand their social media presences, senior leadership becomes more supportive of these efforts. One of the best ways to bring executives on board is to establish social media goals that align with business goals. What does your CMO care about? What are her metrics of success across the marketing organization? Make sure your social media program aligns with those objectives. Did you get to 1 million people liking your Facebook? That's great, but make sure you can show that it provides value to the company?
It is critical for this stage that the company be able to prove the value of social media. Budget and resources are provided to expand the program, but it is not an open-ended endeavor. This is not a blank check category, but one where a bit of skepticism remains. Show your senior leadership the daily value you get from social media. Are you keeping up with influencers and competitors? Are you alerted to potential supply problems before your logistics team? Are you starting to build thought leadership for the company? All of these activities have value that can be measured in ways your executives can understand.
Senior leaders become more engaged in social media activities when they continue to see the results. This goes well beyond any single campaign to the level where social media is spreading beyond marketing, PR and even customer service. Companies like Zappos have extended their company culture beyond their own walls and given all employees the training, guidance and encouragement to connect with customers on social media. This type of program has to originate from the highest levels of the organization, but it is the responsibility of the social media leaders to sell this idea up.
While many companies still block social media use at work, mature companies are leveraging their employees social networks for business benefit. If your employees are well-connected in your industry and to your customers and to your future customers, doesn't it make sense to let them have relevant and public business conversations about things that are important? This is how relationships are built. Leaders in this stage understand that employees represent the company on a daily basis on the phone, through email, and in public at trade shows and conferences. Social media is just an extension of that. And remember, this is not meant to open the door on chaos. This is to be managed with proper training, policies, and procedures.
It is one thing for senior leaders to encourage social media activities, but it is another for them to be active on social platforms themselves. It really changes how they approach social media. This doesn't mean creating a Twitter account for the CEO and having the PR team tweet for him, or just asking him to share press releases. It means they are truly part of the social experience, connecting with other executives, sharing information about the company and the industry, and expressing their informed opinion. Leaders at your company are leaders in your industry and social media helps them promote their own thought leadership, and the company's as well. Here's a good guide for preparing your chief executives for Twitter so they don't embarrass themselves.
Some senior leaders who have embraced social media to share personal and company updates, as well interesting articles shared by others, are Michael Dell, CEO of Dell, Beth Comstock, CMO of GE, and Padmasree Warrior, Chief Technology & Strategy Officer of Cisco. These are companies that have been incorporating social media across their organizations, and it would not have happened to the extent that it has without a high level of executive support.
The attitude of leadership is just one component of the Marketing Cloud Social Maturity Model. Answer 10 simple questions to see how your company ranks across all of the categories.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Oil futures rose Monday to finish above $97 a barrel for the first time in more than a week. A rally in the euro undermined some of the dollar's DXY, -0.04% earlier strength which, in turn, provided support for dollar-denominated oil prices. The euro EURUSD, -0.09% gained after European Central Bank council member Jens Weidmann reportedly said the shared currency isn't overvalued and warned governments against trying to weaken the euro. March crude clh3 rose $1.31, or 1.4%, to settle at $97.03 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement since Feb. 1.

Known throughout the state of North Carolina as Mr. 4-H, L. R. (Lera Rhinehart) Harrill was born in Cleveland County, North Carolina on November 10, 1897. Harrill attended grammar school and high school in Lattimore, North Carolina and went on to earn a B.S. and an M.S. in Agriculture from the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (later North Carolina State University). After graduating from North Carolina State College in 1922, Harrill worked briefly for the United States Department of Agriculture before becoming the County 4-H Club agent for Buncombe County, North Carolina. At that time, 4-H Clubs for farm youth were just beginning to be established as outreach and development programs sponsored by the county extension services that were affiliated with land grant colleges throughout the nation. In 1926 Harrill became the North Carolina State 4-H Club Leader. He held that position until 1963. In 1931, Harrill married Laura Weatherspoon of Raleigh. The couple had two children, James and Julia Anne.
In 1949 Harrill was selected to work with the United States military government that was responsible for the administration of the European theatre after World War II. Under the Marshall Plan of postwar reconstruction, Harrill helped to organize 4-H Clubs among the rural youth of Austria.

Podiatrists are familiar with running shoe brands for wide feet with New Balance and Brooks being the most common. What about the narrow foot?
A narrow width for men is B and a narrow width for women is 2A. Although New Balance is the brand most podiatrists think of when recommending narrow widths, New Balance shoes tend to be too deep for most narrow feet. Although shoes often change with each successive version, the following shoes have stayed true to size for a while and are currently the best recommendations for narrow, shallow feet. They all have firm heel counters and firm medial ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) for pronation control.
GEL Foundation® 9 (ASICS). This is the most narrow, shallow shoe on the market today.
Addiction™ 9 (Brooks). This shoe runs a close second and has the added bonus of no hourglass in the "waist" of the shoe.
Adrenaline™ 10 (Brooks). This shoe has a slight hourglass shape in the waist, but overall is a fine, narrow lasted shoe.
Narrow width running shoes are not always available in department stores or even specialty running shoe stores. For narrow widths, I recommend that patients order online. The sites www.zappos.com [2] and www.endless.com [3] are two of my favorites as they offer free shipping both inbound and outbound.

But seriously...gaining a deeper understanding of the historical progression of funeral rituals can help you uncover significant ancestral facts buried within the records of the funeral industry.
I recently received a little blurb of fascinating information on funeral customs from Carolyn Leonard, a chairperson of the Oklahoma Genealogical Society. This in turn, sparked my curiosity to dig for further historical details.
The American funeral industry emerged as a result of the Civil War. Prior to this time, most Americans abhorred any intervention to preserve a dead body. But many wealthy Northern families during the war, were desperate to have their loved one's bodies delivered from the battlefields; providing their burial close to home.
The historical turning point that lead us into our current practice of embalming, was the death of President Abraham Lincoln. As the country mourned the loss of their president, his body was placed on a train for a death procession across America. At each stop, embalmers aboard the train made continuous efforts at preserving the body so the public could view their president; as he was in life.
Prior to the twentieth century, most deaths occurred at home rather than in a hospital. The funeral directors were typically associated with furniture makers and they were called upon to deliver coffins to the deceased family's home. The family members, sometimes including the children, helped prepared their loved one's body, placing the coffin in the home's main room for a viewing.
During the late 1890's when the practice of embalming became common practice, the 'undertakers' would retrieve the body to be prepared in the funeral 'parlor'; then returned it to the family's home for the funeral. This practice evolved into the early 1900's custom of 'calling on' one another to make a proper visit to view the family's deceased. Leading into the use of 'mourning cards' or 'funeral cards'; an often underused genealogical treasure.
Funeral cards were distributed to family, friends and the community to alert invitees to the date and time of the funeral. In Victorian times, the cards were often detailed in elaborate weeping willows, cypress and crosses and invaluable vital facts such as birth, death and place were etched inside the cards.
Recognizing their importance to family historians, may websites and state archives are increasingly digitalizing funeral cards. Ancestors At Rest and Genealogy Today have downloadable mourning cards easily printable to your home computer and with a quick Google search, I discovered that both the Tennessee and Washington State Archives have indexed statewide funeral cards.
Seeking out funeral home records and funeral cards can be an invaluable tool to the family historian; providing vital information when other records are not readily available. Because the truth is; what we are all really digging for in genealogy is dead people...and loving it!

Hollywood Undead scored the #2 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart last week with their highest-charting album ever, Notes from the Underground . Guitarist Jordon "Charlie Scene" Terrell says that the album's success is partly due to the fact that the group didn't have to answer to anyone while making the record.
"A lot of bands run into that problem where record labels kind of tell them what to do or what kind of music they should write," Terrell tells ABC News Radio. "On this record they didn't say anything, they left us alone. We had complete creative freedom so that's a lot of fun for us."
Terrell adds that the band has a few tracks left over from the Notes sessions which may be released sometime in the near future. "When you're trying to pick 11 songs, everyone has a different opinion on what should go on the record," he explains. "We try to be fair with it and try to figure out what's best for this record at the time. So we have like, five songs left over or something, so we'll probably put those on an EP along with maybe some other new ones we'll record."

Dozens of people gathered for a vigil Thursday to remember the loss of two children.
The group got together at a home in Geismar in memory of Sarai Lanus, 9, and her brother Daylon, 6. The two were killed in a crash off Bluff Road in Baton Rouge on June 24. The family was fishing off a nearby embankment when an SUV ran off the road and hit the two kids.
Kiera Owens, the victims' neighbor, said a piece of her is now missing.
"It's not the same; it's really different," said Owens. "I know that I am going to come home from school and look and see where is Daylon and I am going to realize he is not there anymore."
Jeffrey Darbill, the children's uncle, said he is struggling with the reality, but believes there will be light that will shine from this terrible accident.
"We lost some great people in our family, a great niece and nephew, but everything is going to be good because God does everything for a reason," Darbill explained.
Troopers with Louisiana State Police are still investigating what led to the crash. No charges have been filed against the driver.

EarPlanes 1 1
I Don't Fly Without Them These things are great! They equalize the pressure so that your ears don't ache, especially on descent. Sounds are slightly muffled, but that's usually a good thing on a flight. I use Child Sized EarPlanes because my ear canals are narrow. On long flights, you can take them out after the plane has reached cruising altitude and re-insert them when it begins to descend. The one down-side is that you can't insert ear buds while wearing them, but a good pair of headphones fits over them nicely. EarPlanes were recommended to me by an audiologist who warned me that I could do permanent damage to my eardrums if I don't use them when I fly congested. My Eustachian tubes are narrow, so I struggled with pain and compromised hearing for days after a flight, whether I was congested or not. These days, I rarely feel any discomfort and I can hear just fine because I don't fly without using EarPlanes. April 22, 2013

Other Conditions Treated by Oral Surgery
- Facial injury repair. Oral surgery is often used to fix fractured jaws and broken facial bones.
- Lesion removal and biopsy. Oral surgeons can take a small sample of abnormal growth or tissue and then send it for laboratory testing for identification. Some lesions can be managed medically or can be removed by the oral surgeon.
- Cleft lip and cleft palate repair. Cleft lip and cleft palate result when all or portions of the mouth and nasal cavity do not grow together properly during fetal development. The result is a gap in the lip and/or a split in the opening in the roof of the mouth. Oral surgeons work as part of a team of healthcare specialists to correct these problems through a series of treatments and surgical procedures over many years.
- Facial infections. Pain and swelling in the face, neck or jaws may indicate an infection. Infections in this area of the body can sometimes develop into life-threatening emergencies if not treated promptly and effectively. An oral surgeon can assist in diagnosing and treating this problem. Surgical treatment, if needed, may include cutting into and draining the infected area as well as extracting any teeth that might be involved.
- Snoring/sleep apnea. When conservative methods fail to alleviate this problem, surgery can be tried. Surgical procedures involve removing the soft tissues of the oropharynx (an area in the back portion of the mouth) or the lower jaw. Laser surgery is a newer treatment option. Depending on the surgical technique used, the laser is used to either slowly scar the palate, which tightens it, or to remove palate tissue.

Wednesday, May 16 at 1:30 p.m. - WE BOUGHT A ZOO (2011) Starring Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson; Rated PG; 124 minutes; Closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
After Benjamin loses his wife, he purchases a large house that has a zoo in an effort to start his life over. This is welcome news for his daughter, but his son is not happy about it. The zoo is badly in need of renovation and Benjamin sets about the work with the head keeper, Kelly, and the rest of the zoo staff. But, the zoo soon runs into financial trouble. The staff must get the zoo back to it's former glory and pass inspection in time for its grand opening.
"We Bought a Zoo provides a welcome seasonal dash of wholesomeness and humor, but it's also a heartening celebration of second acts, even at their most unwelcome." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

Former Washington State quarterback Ryan Leaf faces the possibility of up to 36 years in prison after being indicted on drug and burglary charges in Texas.
The indictment, handed up by a grand jury in Canyon, Texas, alleges the 33-year-old former quarterback broke into one of his former player's apartment and stole his Hydrocodone. The player had been prescribed the painkiller because of an injury.
"We began an in-depth, extensive investigation into his obtaining of any of this kind of medication, and when we did so, we found out there was fraud involved," said Lt. Dale Davis with the Canyon Police Department.
Leaf used to coach quarterbacks at West Texas A&M before he resigned last November. He also worked as the school's golf coach.
James Farren, criminal district attorney for Randall County in Texas, said Leaf has been undergoing drug rehabilitation at a facility in British Columbia. He told the Amarillo Globe-News that his office was trying to convince Leaf to return to the United States on his own.
Leaf led the Washington State to a Pac-10 Conference Championship and Rose Bowl appearance. The San Diego Chargers made him the second pick of the NFL draft in 1998. He played with the Chargers until 2000, and then with the Dallas Cowboys in 2001. He threw for 3,666 yards and 14 touchdowns during his professional career.

Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, 35, was selected to his 12th Pro Bowl on Tuesday, the NFL announced.
He was the lone member of the team selected. However, wide receiver Roddy White and special teams player Eric Weems were the first alternates at their positions.
Last season, seven Falcons — Quarterback Matt Ryan, White, running back Michael Turner, Gonzalez, fullback Ovie Mughelli, defensive end John Abraham and Weems — were named to the NFC team. Right tackle Tyson Clabo and cornerback Brent Grimes went as alternates.
This season, no Falcons led at their position in the fan voting.
Gonzalez is turning in another fine season. He has 79 catches for 867 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Gonzalez, widely considered one of the best tight ends to ever play the position in the NFL, moved into second place on the NFL's all-time receptions list with a two-yard catch in the second quarter of the Falcons' win over the Detroit Lions on Oct. 23.
This season, Gonzalez has pushed his total to 1,148 career receptions.
Gonzalez holds a number of NFL records at the tight end position, including most career receiving yards, most career receptions, most receptions in a single season, most touchdown catches, most 100-yard receiving games and most 1,000-yard seasons.
He is the NFL's second leading receiver overall and his 1,148 career catches are an NFL record for tight ends.

Well, JSS, seeing as you dont know the names of the other tight ends in the league (JaMichael? Seriously? Then not knowing the name of the Giants TE? Jake Ballard? He has not had anywhere near the year of Tony G.), I'd say something is very wrong with you claiming that there are so many better tight ends. But welcome to AJC, along with all of the other Saints trolls.
I'm happy for Tony G. Hopefully he doesn't get to attend (cause that means we're in the super bowl. not saying I want him hurt).
Go Falcons!

Where's the ELITE MATT ICE RYAN? He's got to get in! 4000 yards through the air?

Well, I knew one of the "Quorum" would show up in full spin cycle… Tony Gonzalez can book his normal suite, he certainly won't in Indy preparing for the game as a player! Lofton hasn't outplayed Willis or the overrated Urlacher. Ask Ryan how good Urlacher is, he read him like a book…

But voters see what I see — a sub .500 undercoached team lucky to be in the postseason.

JSS, why is Urlacher overrated?
December 27th, 2011

I think all falcons should be listed on this roster because there is not a way that they will be on the other roster. Superbowl's roster is for winners and Probowl's roster is for the falcons or you can call them losers.

Ryan became just the second quarterback in franchise history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season after posting a career-high with 373 passing yards. This season, Ryan has thrown for 4,065 yards, which trails QB Jeff George's club record of 4,143 yards, set in 1995, by just 78 yards. Ryan, also tied his career highs with 32 completions and 52 pass attempts, and finished the game with a 92.9 passer rating.
The third-year signal caller has completed 339 of 557 pass attempts this season and is on pace to break his franchise records of 357 completions and 571 attempts set in 2010.
Ryan has thrown for 300-or-more yards in six games this season breaking George's team record of four 300 yard games in 1995.

I think this is a who cares kind of topic. Do not wake me from my dirt nap. Pro Bowl do not happen for players who have no will to win. 2011, like 2010 is a another step backward. The Falcons are looking like 1966 all over again. Douche bags.

Man, when will you guys realize that the Falcons are simply inferior. First you blame the "Return to the Dome" on the refs and the league. Then you blame the Super Bowl year on the refs and the league. Then you blame the latest victory against your team on the refs and the league…Are you guys noticing a trend here??? There are countless other examples of placing blame in all the wrong places, but I will stop there. Just deal with the fact that you read your own headlines, courtesy of Peter King, and you failed. Its just that simple. F.A.L.C.O.N.S. = Fans Always Left Counting On Next Year.

Super glad Gonzo got in, he's a true class act and brings his lunch pail to work everyday. J Graham, Finley, V Davis and the rest of em those TEs that idiot JSS (just super stupid) mentioned, owe their careers to TG. He set the blueprint for them to be doing what they are doing AND at 35 is still putting in major work. Now, as far as the rest of the Falcons, that loss to the Pack last season in the playoffs has damaged them more than they know. Fans and media pundits alike are turning away from reg season paper warriors like them that can put up numbers against weak teams in meaningless reg season games and THEN when the national spotlight is on them be it a MNF game or a playoff game their tails go between their legs. It is easy to look good against the Jags 1 o'clock on any given reg season Sunday, but when its time to play with the big boys in the playoffs, MNF, or whenEVER it really counts, its hard to watch them fold like those brown chairs in church and I'm a diehard Falcon fan. It's like that with all these Atl teams – Braves, Hawks, and hell even the Dream have caught on to the act. Hell, I feel good for the Thrashes! Year after freaking year the same thing. THATS why the fans here are apathetic, they know when the rough gets going, all our teams are going to choke like Ron Gant or run their motorbike into a tree like an idiot, David Justice (when the anyone was on base), Lonnie Smith thinking a ball that sailed 20 ft above his head is all of sudden in the 2nd baseman's hands, drop passes like Julio or Roddy, go TJ Duckett or go look for some hookers like Eugene Robiinson. It doesn't matter if its J Anderson knees buckling when no one touches him or the ASG owning the Hawks, or Dominique Wilkins getting traded for two no knees Danny Manning or Rankin Smith letting Deion walk for nothing or 14 division titles with only one WS ring (when no one cared about baseball due to the '94 strike) or the debacle the Falcons had back in the early 80s to the Cowgirls. Let's not talk about the dog killer or the coach who snuck out and quit in the middle of the night or the Dream getting swept in the finals. Whether its Mookie getting caught with a brick of weed, or hell J.R. Rider smoking it, when EVER THE moment shows up, all these teams *itch up every time. Dam, we had Rasheed Wallace on our squad for ONE day and he was the best player on the team. I just hope I live long enough to see that b.s. ends. When it does, maybe more than one player will go to the pro-bowl until then, ESPECIALLY after the way the Falcons played like girls last night losing to the Aints, we will continue to show up late to games, leave early and let other teams fans come to Atlanta and be louder than us…why not?

OAK CREEK, WI (WTAQ) - Wade Michael Page was not under the influence of drugs when he killed six people plus himself in the August 5th shooting rampage at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek.
The Milwaukee County medical examiner's office released an autopsy report on the 40-year-old Page Wednesday, a day after the FBI said it completed its investigation into the mass shootings.
A toxicology report said Page had a small amount of alcohol in his system – but it might have been a result of decomposition, and it was not known if Page had been drinking before the massacre.
The medical examiner said Page was shot in the right side of his abdomen by an Oak Creek police officer – and had a self-inflicted wound in the back of the head from his nine-millimeter pistol.
The FBI said Page acted alone in planning and carrying out the shooting spree – and a motive could not be established.
The medical examiner's report showed that Page wore a foam ear-plug in his right ear during the gunfire. And his many tattoos included skulls and cross-bones on one arm, and the word "Suffer" across his shoulders.

In January of 2011, designer Katrina LaPenne left her five-year career with the renowned Manhattan goldsmiths Reinstein Ross to follow her dream of launching her own namesake brand. The company would not only be built on her incredible foundation as a studied jeweler, but would maintain her strong ideals as a designer she would develop one of a kind pieces that were built completely from scratch, creating each and every detail by hand and offering her customers true collection pieces that would always come from the work of Katrina LaPenne.
From her earliest childhood memories Katrina always knew she was meant to create beautiful things. After earning her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Jewelry & Light Metals from the prestigious Rhode Island School Of Design, she returned to her native Brooklyn to join the New York City jewelry scene. While working as a goldsmith at Reinstein Ross, LaPenne was simultaneously commissioned to produce several runway collections for designer Charles Nolan. During this same time, she began to construct her own metal art collection as a personal side project. After her Silver Claw Earring was featured as one of 500 Earrings in the Lark Book series on contemporary jewelry artists, the designer decided it was time for the Katrina LaPenne collection to be available to all.
Inspired by natures magnificence, ancient artifacts and exotic decorative objects, LaPenne has developed a series of collections including detailed jewels that range from everyday styles like Scaled Serpents and Ornately Engraved Victorian Pendants to statement-making pieces like Brushed Egyptian Hoops and Oversized Talons. The designer spends countless hours using fine hand-instruments to develop each each creation, meticulously carving out of wax or fabricating out of metal, before making a casting mold. She then uses these molds to duplicate each style in a variety of precious and semi-precious stones and metals. Katrina goes even further to produce her Old World Diamonds collection for which each pendant, ring and earring is fabricated by hand, surrounding each individual stone in its own custom 14K Gold setting
In addition to planting her company right back in to her Brooklyn roots and producing each Katrina LaPenne original in her home state of NY, LaPenne has vowed to keep her company as socially and environmentally conscious as possible. An abundance of her materials come from Hoover & Strong, which produces 100% recycled materials. All of her diamonds are imported from suppliers who comply with the Kimberly process and standards, and she constantly strives to increase her usage of biodegradable chemical alternatives.
Celebrating the launch of her Fall 2011 collection, Katrina LaPenne jewelry is now available for purchase and custom order on her brand new e-commerce website. Though for loyal customers the most exciting offering is the chance to experience the designers process first hand, as a student in one of Katrinas Brooklyn-based goldsmithing and enameling classes.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (March 2, 2013) – Rutgers women's lacrosse head coach Laura Brand-Sias recorded her 100th career win as the Scarlet Knights took down Monmouth, 11-8, Saturday afternoon at Kessler Field.
The Scarlet Knights (3-1) were led by career-high days from junior attack Megan Clements (Pennington, N.J.) and redshirt junior Amanda Trendell (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.), who each scored four goals apiece. Trendell added an assist for a five-point showing. Clements posted all four scores during a 5-1 run in the second half to give RU a lead it would not relinquish.
Brand-Sias now owns a 100-75 record in her 11th season with the Scarlet Knights and 12th overall.
Senior captain Lily Kalata (Nesconset, N.Y.) made five saves in the effort to move to 3-1 on the season. Monmouth (0-4) was paced by Kaleigh Gibbons with three goals and two assists.
Rutgers rattled off three-straight scores over the first 12:21 to take a 3-0 lead. Junior midfield Katrina Martinelli (Moorestown, N.J.) started the scoring, Freshman Halley Barnes (Garnet Valley, Pa.) notched the second goal and Trendell ended the run with a tally at the 17:39 mark.
MU would crawl back with three-straight scores of their own, as Allison Stathius posted a free position goal to knot the game at 3-3.
Trendell notched a free position score of her own before Monmouth scored a FPG right before the half. The two squads entered the break tied at 4-4.
The Hawks struck first to open the second half before the Scarlet Knights scored five of the next six goals. Clements posted four-straight over the run to give RU a 9-6 advantage. MU's Gibbons and Trendell would trade goals over the final eight minutes to account for the final score.
The Scarlet Knights return to the RU Turf Field at the Stadium Complex on Wednesday, March 5 to face No. 18 Penn. Game time is set for 3 p.m.

Plover Days a wet affair
"We made 150 cookies, cake to serve 120 and 100 cups of coffee, and ran out of everything," said a delighted Richard Sturgill, organizer of Blaine's annual waterfront swimming party and raft race celebration known as Plover Days. This year's event celebrated the restored passenger ferry Plover's 60th birthday, and included the annual George Raft Race, open houses on local wooden boats and free excursions with area members of the Puget Sound Steam Society on a fleet of small steamers.
Angus Pratt and Tyson Gorsuch of the Blaine Sea Scouts won Saturday's George Raft Race held during one of the summer's only rain storms, a soaker of Biblical proportions that dumped nearly an inch of badly needed precipitation on Blaine the first day of the event.
"What great fun," said Pratt, 46, who is the skipper, or adult leader, of the local sea scouting group. "Once you're wet anyway," he laughed, "it didn't really matter one way or the other." Like all four racing rafts, the sea scout entry was built of bits and pieces of surplus floating junk that Sturgill keeps in a "raft builder's library," a vacant corner of a web locker that over the year seems to collect boards, rope and hunks of styrofoam that racers can use for that year's raft. The scouts built their raft on the lawn outside Sturgill's web locker and christened it Son of Charee, after their sloop Charee that was donated to them last year.
Second place went to a Port of Bellingham team headed by local Blaine Marina staff, third place to Sturgill's own Gauntlet and fourth place to race organizer and local marine upholsterer Bob Knapp on his creation called Catfish.
The Plover once carried cannery workers from Blaine to the Alaska Packers Association (APA) cannery on Semiahmoo Spit. Preceded on the run by converted fishing boats, some of which were sail powered, the Plover was built specifically as a passenger ferry at the Bryant Marina in Seattle and brought north to Blaine in 1944, the same year that APA bought their 103-foot water tower as surplus from a factory in Oakland, California, and shipped it up to erect on the spit.
After service in the late '60s as a local harbor tug, it was put into storage when the cannery closed until Sturgill and a group that is now known as Drayton Harbor Maritime found it and restored it, launching it for the second time eight years ago on the Fourth of July weekend. It now runs weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend.

"I've become a huge NB running shoe fan recently. I will admit that I have long legs, which go all over the place when I run and in past NB shoes, they were a bit bulky, causing me to kick and bruise myself. I probably resembled Phoebe from "Friends" when she tried to run. Anyway, I was reluctant to try NB again! but then the fitted, lightweight shoe craze happened! I went with four other brands, then to NB. This is my fifth lightweight NB shoe (I loved all of them); what I love the most about this shoe is it's cute. Just kidding, that's not the only reason. I love that they are lightweight, fit my foot like a glove and they have great cushioning to them. This shoe is not clunky at all...there's no way I could kick myself with them. They help you to land mid-foot, I am a slight bender knee foot striker and my knees and all of the connective tissues and muscles that impact my IT band feel great. I highly recommend at least trying them out. I've converted my 8 members of my running team."
