big room, good working tv, wireless internet, good view the AC worked well but was somewhat obstructed by window curtains
The room was very clean, comfortable & nicely decorated. Very nice bathroom. Easy access to the subway. Hard to find. No sign on Broad Street.
Excellent room, clean and good equiped. Location outside of city center on university campus with good connection to downtown by subway (20-30 minutes). Breakfast was poor, personnel was not attentive and informative.
The place is close to many entertainment places. The security is perfect and the staff are excellent in assisting. I really enjoyed my stay. Not at all
I was pleased with location and surroundings, also convinient distanse from subway. Nice atmosphere inside the hotel, design and friendly staff.Cleanliness of the room made me feel at home. There was broken coffee machine in the room.
The parking spot I reserved through book it was not available to mr when I arrived. Customers who made direct reservations with the hotel got preference over bookit.com customers.
The room was very comfortable, staff was very professional and nice, and location was right near public transportation for easy accessibility
I liked being on the Temple University campus. The hairdryer was not working.
spacious, located in a vibrant environment (Templpe Uni campus) awful breakfast, too expensive (when travelling alone or in couple)compared with the service provided, better if you travel 3 or 4 (the rate is almost the same)
Connected to the city by public transit system. Quiet and clean. Everything was ok for me

Superstitions, myths, old tales and mistaken beliefs about animals have been passed down since humans began to question our relationships with them.
Some are urban legends and some are downright laughable to our sophisticated minds. But I'm willing to bet there are plenty of people still spreading "old wives' tales."
AnimalsGuru.com provided these explanations for superstitions and myths.
Cutting off a cat's whiskers causes a loss of balance: A cat's whiskers have absolutely nothing to do with its sense of balance.
Cats have nine lives: This myth probably dates back to ancient Egypt, where nine was considered a mystical number.
Cats can be served a diet of only tuna: Don't do it. High levels of magnesium in tuna can increase urinary tract disease.
Cats always land safely on their feet: Although cats are amazingly flexible, a cat can be injured in a fall. They have been known to break their front legs and jaws if they land on their feet.
Cats can steal a baby's breath: As comfort and heat seekers, cats have been known to curl up next to a baby's warm body. This superstition probably started when a cat smelled milk on a baby and got close to its mouth.
Pregnant women should give up their cats: While toxoplasmosis is a risk for fetuses, a woman is more likely to get it from digging in a garden or handling raw meat.
Black cats are bad luck: This myth dates back to pagan times. Silly, silly, silly.
Cats are nocturnal: Just because your favorite feline wakes you at 4 a.m. doesn't mean they are nocturnal. It's in a cat's nature to hunt in the early morning and at dusk when prey is abundant.
Cats hate water: Just like anything else, a cat (or dog or hamster or anything else that doesn't live in the water) is skeptical of new things.

Hello, I have a huge problem. I have a computer with two hard drives, a 160gb for Windows 7 ( no I don't have a boot disk for it ) and another 120gb hard drive that I stuck in there and installed Back Track 4 on. So naturally I had a dual boot setup with GRUB..... Now, the problem came when I no longer wanted Linux, so I could free up the drive to add to a NAS setup I have. So what I did, is ran a clean all command from windows on it, which writes every sector/every bit to a 0. Now since the drive is written as all 0's it is essentially "Uninitialized" like a new hard drive. So now when I try to boot my computer I get an error:
GRUB loading stage1.5
Error 5
I can't boot into windows because this dual boot crap is in the way, how do I get rid of it???

Teen With Dead Fetus In Bag May Face Homicide Charges
(Ben Yakas) Yesterday, two teens were allegedly shoplifting at the Herald Square Victoria's Secret when police found a dead fetus in one of their bags. Tiana Rodriguez, 17, and Francis Estevez, 17, have both been charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property. According to the Post, the autopsy report states that the baby died of asphyxiation soon after being born alive at full-term, and Rodriguez, the mother, may be facing additional homicide charges.
According to the police, they were called to the store at 1:24 p.m. because security officers had pulled the teens aside and checked their bags due to a "strong odor and found a fetus inside the bag" of Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who already has a toddler, reportedly told cops that the baby wasn't full-term, "she suffered a miscarriage" on Wednesday, and she didn't know what to do with the fetus. The teens are expected to be arraigned at Manhattan Criminal Court later today.

COLUMBUS, OH -- Persons gathering signatures to put a repeal of Ohio's Internet sweepstakes ban on the ballot claim they're being harassed by "corporate casino interests," according to the Ohio Watchdog.org.
Watchdog.org, a new media journalism nonprofit, noted that the Committee to Protect Ohio Jobs recently issued a press release claiming that police reports were filed in Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo "because people hired by the corporate casino interests to oppose the referendum are physically blocking Ohioans who want to sign and threatening signature gatherers."
In June, Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed H.B. 7, which aims to shut down Internet cafés by setting a limit of no more than a $10 cash payout on a sweepstakes machine. The cafés, or sweepstakes parlors, usually sell phone cards or Internet time while offering customers opportunities to win cash prizes on games that resemble slot machines. The ban goes into effect on Sept. 4.
Proponents of the ban, including Attorney General Mike DeWine, said illegal gambling and other illegal activities were being conducted in sweepstakes establishments.
Operators of Internet cafés promptly announced a referendum effort to repeal H.B. 7. The referendum campaign would mean a stay on the implementation of the ban until voters decide the issue on the November 2014 ballot.

EVERETT — Snohomish County is hitting the pause button on its $75 million courthouse project so the new executive can give the plans a thorough vetting.
County leaders said they want full support from Executive John Lovick's team before pushing ahead with an aggressive construction schedule. Lovick, the former sheriff who was appointed executive on June 3, has a management team stacked with career law enforcement professionals. His second in command is the former U.S. Marshal, and responsible for security at federal courthouses in Western Washington.
As is, the county is on track to break ground next spring and finish during the first half of 2016. Whether that time line changes remains to be seen.
"We're looking 50 or 60 years we'll have to rely on this building so it's very important that we get it right," County Councilman Dave Somers said. "I think it's also important that we make sure we understand all our space needs in the county, not only in the courts, but (in) other departments."
The County Council on Monday passed a motion formalizing the request for the executive's review. It passed 3-0.
Some of the concerns about the new building are: safeguarding the public and court staff; earthquake readiness; and how well the building would suit the county's space needs in decades to come.
The request comes a week after some County Council members were surprised to learn that the county might need up to $1.6 million in consulting work to see the project through. County facilities officials said the money owes in part to an alternative bidding process that should keep the project's costs from ballooning later on.
The new county administration supports the extra courthouse review.
Until the council appointed him as executive this month, Lovick, a retired state trooper, had been serving his second term as county sheriff. He replaced former Executive Aaron Reardon, who stepped down May 31 after a series of scandals that have spawned an ongoing criminal investigation and two state probes related to his 2011 re-election.
Lovick's first personnel move was to hire Mark Ericks as his second-in-command.
To take the county job, Ericks resigned as U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Washington, where he was the top official responsible for safety at the region's federal courts.
That experience should be useful in sizing up the county courthouse.
"I would like to have the opportunity to weigh in on whether it's enough or too much," Ericks told the County Council Monday. "An opinion backed by some professional review that would tell us whether the building we're building to serve the public for the next 50 to 60 to 75 years is going to serve the public as best it can."
Early-stage planning calls for a seven-story, 160,000- square-foot building with 20 courtrooms, streamlined customer service counters.
It would replace the county's 1967 courthouse in downtown Everett and would be built on top of the plaza to the north. In February, county leaders opted to build a new courthouse because renovating the old one wouldn't solve a host of problems, including inherent security flaws.
The new courthouse, under the current proposal, would not expand available space. It would be built to make future additions easier, though.
That means the proposed building would not have room for county deputy prosecutors or some other county staff tied directly to the courts. They would be housed elsewhere on the county's downtown Everett campus.
A 30-year bond is paying for the construction and demolition work. It also would cover renovating the county's historic Mission Building.
Part of the reason for moving ahead quickly is a legal requirement to spend 80 percent of bond proceeds within three years.
"This speed may be adding unexpected costs and affecting the ability to develop a design concept that addresses both the immediate as well as the future system requirements," according to the motion the council passed Monday.
Councilman Brian Sullivan urged the extra review, but said county facilities staff have done a great job advancing the project they've been asked to work on.
"This is no reflection on their good work and their professionalism," Sullivan said.

Friday nights are so awesome. I now feel like I can more fully enjoy the game itself."
Decker praised his team for playing with "so much enthusiasm and intensity" last Friday.To read more or comment...

The Akron Public Schools is investigating Firestone football coach Tim Flossie for alleged inappropriate actions following a game Thursday night at Archbishop Hoban.
"Tim Flossie has been suspended pending an HR [Human Resources] investigation and Billy Adair has been named the interim head coach," said Mark Williamson, the APS Director of Communications. "We don't know how long the HR investigation will take. I don't know how far into the season we will go until we have an answer to this. We just don't know at this point.
"The new principal [Kenya Harrington Jr.] at Firestone had a meeting with the other coaches and heard from them. He also sent out an email to all the players. The focus is on the players to stay together as a team."
Firestone opened the 2014 football season at Hoban with a game Thursday, and the host Knights topped the Falcons 24-0.To read more or comment...

Need a synonym? Need it quick?
Well, then I have a little treat for you… yes – even those of you with Word 2007!
Next time you need a quick word, try a right-click.
Yep, that's all it will take. Just right-click over the word for which you need the synonym. (You don't have to select the word – just right-click over it and you'll get the same result.)
At the bottom of the menu that pops open, you'll find Synonyms. When you choose it, a list of possibilities will open.
Choose something from the list or if that's still not "hitting the spot," choose Thesaurus from the bottom to quickly start that feature.
Now, that's what I call a quick word switch!

Special to the Western Star
When diagnosed with cancer for the first time at age 21, Nicole McKinnon of Corner Brook had a very good reason to live. She wasn't about to leave her three-month-old son Brayden without a mother.
There were times during her battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma, the 26-year-old said, when she felt death would be an easier choice than life. When those thoughts would overtake her, all she needed to do was think about her son and her fighting instinct would kick in.
"I always say now if it hadn't been for Brayden I don't think I would have fought so hard," McKinnon said.
"I'm sure I would have tried but some days, I almost had enough … but when you have a baby you just fall madly in love with him. And he was so tiny. I just couldn't image letting him grow up without me."
McKinnon knew during her pregnancy that something was terribly wrong — something well beyond morning sickness and the other symptoms that pregnant women often feel.
When she broke out in chickenpox-like itchy marks on her body, her doctor told her she had "the pregnancy itch."
Yet McKinnon knew what she was doing through wasn't normal.
"I used to say to Mom (Marie Quilty) when I was pregnant, 'Mom, I got cancer.' She used to get right upset with me," she said. "But I knew there was no woman in the world, being pregnant, would go through what I was going through. It's impossible."
Just months after having Brayden was born, McKinnon's skin condition worsened rather than improved. She was admitted to the Western Memorial Regional Hospital in Corner Brook where specialists began looking at her condition.
When one of the doctors noticed a lump on the young mother's neck, he didn't hold back his thoughts.
"He said 'that lump there, I bet it's cancer.' I hadn't even had any tests done by then," she said.
McKinnon said her father, Russell McKinnon, who was in the room at the time, turned white.
"It was horrible. I was upset, but I wasn't really shocked," she said when a biopsy confirmed she not only had Hodgkin's lymphoma, but that the cancer was in her neck, chest and spleen.
McKinnon spent almost a year undergoing chemotherapy at the Health Sciences Centre.
Her parents moved to St. John's to look after Brayden, while her husband Scott Young stayed at home in Corner Brook, much of the time, to work.
"Looking back now, I was so sick, my mom and my dad practically raised Brayden for the first two years," McKinnon said. "They both went to St. John's with me and Brayden. They are divorced, but they moved in together to be there for me and Brayden. That goes to show what type of family I have."
In addition to the hospital in St. John's, McKinnon was also treated at the Western Regional Memorial Hospital.
She fought hard and felt she'd won the battle, only to have the cancer about four years ago.
After a few rounds of chemotherapy, doctors determined the drug was not effective in fighting her cancer.
A stem cell transplant — using her own stem cells — was her best option for survival.
While the recovery process took about six months, McKinnon said the transplant finally cured her cancer.
"And after I recovered, it was like I had a new life," she said.
A second child
McKinnon and her husband recently welcomed a second edition to their family. Their daughter Sydney was born on Feb. 15. Her five-year-old brother Brayden loves her a lot, their children's mother said.
During a recent check-up in St. John's McKinnon got the news she's been waiting to hear.
"I had all my tests done here in Corner Brook before I went to St. John's," McKinnon said. "The doctor reviewed them and said everything came back normal. He discharged me as a patient … and he told me and my mom that I'm actually now allowed to call myself cancer-free. My mom didn't know whether to scream or cry. But she cried."
Supporting young adults with cancer
She also received a great deal of support from Young Adult Cancer Canada (YACC) and attended the organization's cancer retreat in Lake Louise, Alberta in 2013.
"I think Young Adult Cancer Canada is great. They are constantly asking if they can do anything for you. And at the retreat there were people there who didn't have any supports at all. So they really depend on Young Adult Cancer Canada to be there for them."
Geoff Eaton established the group in 2000 (originally as RealTime Cancer) after his first cancer challenge.
Young Adult Cancer Canada is based in St. John's with an office team of 13 across the country to support and educate young adults with cancer.
There are three Young Adult Cancer Canada retreats left to happen in 2014. One takes place in British Columbia in August, another in Newfoundland in September and a third in Ontario in November.
Any young adult with cancer interested in attending the Retreat Yourself Adventure in this province in September can contact YACC through its website (www.youngadultcancer.ca).

INTERVIEW: Maor Levi at TomorrowWorld
Listen to Maor Levi on iHeartRadio
Israel's Maor Levi has described his music as "everything-step" - and he wasn't kidding. With not only big support from Anjunabeats and beyond (that includes Above & Beyond), Maor has remixed for artists like Gabriel & Dresden, The Killers, and Skrillex's OWSLA label ... he tells us he likes the "bass-y" stuff.
We caught up with Maor, after his set on the trance addicts stage at TomorrowWorld where he talked about touring with his buddies Norin & Rad on the Anjunabeats tour, his favorite airport food, who he'd like to work with, and the most random song in his iTunes library. Find out what he had to say:
You've just finished up your Anjunabeats Tour with Norin & Rad. How was it?
Yeah, it was good. All the shows were good. People were really happy with the music. It was the perfect balance to put us both on this tour. It was fun.
What was the best part about touring with those guys?
That they're my friends. Like we were friends for a long time, so you know, it's just funny. We just blend so well. So we do funny stuff and we help each other all the time.
On a tour like that, you're going from airport to airport, so what is your favorite airport food to eat?
I think my favorite one was JFK actually. Because they have Shake Shack. When I saw the Shake Shack, I was like "Okay, this is the best airport in the world."
What do you like most about being part of Anjunabeats?
It's like a big family, you know. It's like everyone just helping everyone, supporting each other, and, that's good music. All these artists are really talented, everyone is bringing something different. So, it is like a unique, big family, it's fun.
You've described your music before as "everything-step," and today you played on the trance stage. It seems like people maybe put you into the trance category?
Well, to be honest, I've never been trance in my life. Like I used to listen to trance and I used to follow the trance industry, but production wise, I've never have like a full on trance record, you know. It was like progressive, maybe with a little bit of trance elements but it was always like you know, like progressive, towards like what you listen to now.
What is the most random song in your iTunes library?
The Doors, "Whiskey Bar." It's because I love whiskey but I love the Doors too.
The other day you tweeted:
Love all those excuses can drivers are coming up with, so creative haha— MAOR LEVI (@REALMAORLEVI) September 26, 2013
So what is the most creative excuse that you've heard?
We were in
How do you like playing at these big festivals, now that you've played at TomorowWorld?
My first festival was in
What are you working on right now?
I have a few remixes, [a] few collaborations. I can't really say that much but I have a few singles coming. It should be good.
Is there anyone that you haven't worked with yet that you really want to work with?
Too many names. I mean, I would love to work with Mark Knight. I love Mark Knight. Like as a person, and as an artist. [He] always inspired me to do more stuff. I love Skrillex as well. Also the guys like The M Machine, Kill The Noise, all those guys. Like, I love that bass-y stuff.
And your buddy Borgore?
Oh, yeah. Boragore is unique to his own. I think he brought something special. I would love to work with him as well. Him and A-Trak is sort of like a "Jewish House Mafia" thing. People say I look like A-Trak. I was like "Okay, I'm wishing that for real." If I put the hat on and grow some more beard then, yeah, I look A-Trak. Yeah, I'd love to put something out with A-Trak, Borgore, the OWSLA guys, you know, I love that stuff.
Are you heading out on the road again soon on tour?
Yeah, we have the Morgan Page 3D tour coming in October. I'm gonna play with Morgan and Audien. It's from mid-October to mid-November. It is gonna be a bus tour. Yeah, that's gonna be interesting. A lot of cool visuals, good shows are in
What do you absolutely need to have with you, when you are on tour, on the bus?
Mostly my computer because otherwise, I'll just go crazy without making music. I can get bored really easily from not doing anything, so I'll just go and make music. But that's good, like we're just writing ideas or you know, just burning some time. So, it's always good.

text: It looks like all the financial issues have been settled between Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, because he filed for divorce after a year apart. There is nothing crazy or unusual in the filing. No secrets like Demi Moore is actually 60 or that Ashton Kutcher is really 12. Just a plain old divorce that allows Mila Kunis to feel a little bit better about things moving forward, although if she is hoping for that ting and wedding and an entirely monogamous Ashton Kutchcer, just him filing the divorce paperwork is not going to change all that.

Are you gambling with future costs if you don't purchase specialized cancer insurance?
Sometimes it seems as if we live in a world where we are always waiting for the other shoe — or the next shoe — to drop. Those witty commercials featuring Flo the Progressive Insurance Girl suggest that in a sweet, slightly subversive way.
We also grew up with those life-and-death insurance "scenario" commercials featuring well-to-do parents or seniors sitting contentedly in their kitchens contemplating their children's well-being after their departure from the world.
One of the more thought-provoking insurances on the market is cancer insurance, offered by companies running the gamut from Mutual of Omaha and AFLAC to cancerplans.com, cancer-coverage.com and humana-one.com.
Specialized cancer plans may be of special interest to some families in the Jewish community, as both Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish women have been revealed to have higher predispositions to breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers with the presence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in their genetic family trees.
While common insurance plans like HMOs and PPOs (purchased a la carte or provided by companies to employees, partially or fully) cover the basics, cancer-focused plans are supplements that promise the buyer extended medical benefits not covered by major medical insurance plans.
New York-based Tomer Dicturel, founding partner of Advanced Wealth Partners, notes many of his clients from Philadelphia and other Northeastern cities have expressed a demand for extra protection. While Dicturel acknowledges that cancer insurance on the surface may offer piece of mind, he cautions families at different income levels to weigh their options. "Cancer insurance is a tricky product," Dicturel points out. "If you are prone to cancer and it runs in your family, cancer insurance is better than nothing. However, it is not an ideal solution."
While a number of companies "offer this specialized product, the problem is that it ultimately does not give the customer much," he says, "On one hand, blue- collar families can afford it, and the companies selling it are very reputable. However, these special add-ons neither promise a lot nor deliver a lot" in the way of benefits.
Dicturel explains that with some research or a good broker, you can find much better policies on the market. One example he cites is disability insurance, which comes in long-term and short-term formats. While these plans and add-ons are much more expensive, the coverage is comparatively substantial. He also points out there are some insurance policies with critical illness elements added in at no extra charge, such as a "living benefit." In some policies, if you get cancer, you can get money from the policy to offset medical expenses even if you do not die. "Unlike cancer insurance, whose premiums can go up, term life insurance with the living benefit, as well as other policies and add-ons, are available in a range of configurations and prices with very consistent pricing. While disability insurance is more expensive, you get more coverage for your money."
Mark V. Pauly, professor of healthcare management, business economics and public policy at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, explains that the changing landscape of health insurance brought in by President Barak Obama and the progressive side of the aisle in Congress may render these specialty plans obsolete. "It's more rational to buy insurance against all diseases since any disease can bankrupt you," says Pauly. "When you think of it, it is silly to have a policy that will protect you against cancer but not heart disease or Parkinson's, or another catastrophic illness. It would only make sense to buy a cancer policy if you think you can outwit the insurer and get a low premium relative to your likelihood of collecting."
Pauly adds that as an alternative, for extra peace of mind, you could investigate insurance plans that pay cash on top of health costs if you or a family member gets cancer. "While I am not sure about what all the details will be when the dust settles" on the Affordable Healthcare Act, "I am sure that full coverage will be the only game in town for individuals wanting to buy insurance through the government-regulated exchanges," Pauly says.
Robert Field, professor of law and professor of health management policy at Drexel University, is even more emphatic about the flaws of logic that go along with a cancer-specific policy. As he sees it, one's odds of getting a specific illness like cancer are small, while odds of getting an illness of any kind during a lifetime are high. He sees cancer-focused policies as emotional gambits, similar to travel insurance that covers plane crashes. While people can relate to cancer and perishing in a plane crash, the odds of these things happening randomly are quite low, he says. "What you want to do is protect your family against the full spectrum of disasters that can happen, which makes picking out one kind of disaster not a wise financial move," says Field. "By getting a narrow insurance policy, you are excluding yourself from other coverages.
"If you do have a general insurance policy, you don't need to supplement your existing policy. You are covered for that. If you are concerned about cancer and you have a family history, you may want to talk to your broker or somebody with your insurance company to make sure you are covered by your policy, make sure it is generous, and, if necessary, pay the extra premium."

Free of charge wallboard 2.4
- Silver, 250 points or more
Hi all,
It has been a while since I posted my last version of the free of charge wallboard.
Some of you know that I changed jobs since (because my former employer did not like me working on the walboard). Since then I no longer have the option to further develop the script because the current employer is an Avaya shop for telephony.
I keep receiving a lot of request for the files, for unencrypted version, et cetera (and I note that a lot of people never read the full thread, which I have to say that I think that is just lame).
Because so many of you seem to enjoy the wallbaord and have great ideas for add ons and changes, I am posting version 2.4 which is last release I will post here.
The only thing changed from 2.3 to 2.4 is that I removed the encryption.
This will enable the Cisco netpro forum community to further develop this script. Note that the disclaimer file in the archive contains important info about how I would like you to handle the copyright (don't try to make mony from my efforts, unless you are willing to provide me a fair share :-))
Also important to know is that I had no possibility to run a test on this last version so it may contain small errors (shouldn't be the case, but just so you know).
Last but not least, since I have no test bed, I am unable to provide any form of support. So please, don't email me with support questions. If you do need to contact me for whatever other reason please send a mail to [email protected]
Kind regards,

Linux World Day 2 (Wednesday)
Best Swag: PCBSD is giving out devil horns to those who stop by their booth, so while no one has given out any penguin feet or gnu horns (is that in the future?), they win.
Another busy day: It's been fairly busy in the morning, but it's tending to taper off in the afternoon. We've had a wide range of people at the booth and, much to the delight of whomever has to bring all the swag home. And, I have to confess, I haven't really gone too nuts in the swag department, being a little more selective in what I take. That's for a couple of reasons — first, I don't want to have to rent a forklift this year to take my stuff out of here, and also there's a environmental component to the equation: If more stuff isn't flying out of here, maybe they will make less.
More people who stopped by: David Eisenberg of Evergreen Valley College gave a brief show of Stolaria and Celestia to Pat Moloney, an astronomy professor at Santa Clara, while both were at the Fedora booth. Daniel Gimpelevich, Linux wizard extrordinaire, has been floating around the exhibition floor, and every time I have a chance to speak to him he's speaking to someone, and every time he's free, I'm talking with someone else. I might get a chance to talk to him soon. Grant Bowman, who diid yeoman's work for Ubuntu at Lindependence, had a chance to stop by during the slowing afternoon as well.
Penguins on the deck: ZaReason has Open Animals' penguins at their booth. The stuffed penguins were a hit at the Lindependence events in Felton in July.
More to follow.

Brevard, N.C. - Becca Curlee went four for five with five RBI, leading the way for the Tornados as they split a doubleheader with Tusculum, Wednesday afternoon. Brevard defeated the Pioneers 9-0 in five innings and then fell 4-1 in the second game.
The Tornados remain even in the conference with a 3-3 SAC record, and are 14-15 overall. Tusculum is now 8-14 overall, and 2-6 in the conference.
Game 1: Brevard 9, Tusculum 0
Box Score
The Tornados used a five run first inning and a four run third, led by Curlee's four RBI performance, to defeat the Pioneers in five innings.
Pitcher, Martika Elmore improved to 11-7, shutting down the Pioneers and allowing two hits in three innings of work.
The Tornados' offense spurred early in the first inning when Nicole Heusel led off the game with single to right field, followed by a Kristina Clayton bunt single. A Maddie Fletcher single set the table for Brittany Jones who singled through the right side driving in both Heusel and Clayton with the bases loaded.
With the bases still loaded, Tusculum pitcher, Holli Cadenhead balked, allowing all runners to advance a base, and Jones to score. The batter Becca Curlee then cleared the bases with a single to centerfield and then advanced to second on the throw to the plate as both Jennifer Gift and Sarah Carlos scored on the play.
The Tornados added on to their 5-0 lead in the third inning, sparked by a Fletcher leadoff single, and a Jones double to centerfield. With two outs, Curlee drove in two more runs on a double to left center.
After Ashley Wilson came into to replace Cadenhead, Kayla Dorsey drove Curlee in from second on a single through the left side. Heusel who went two for three on the day, followed with a double to drive in Dorsey.
Liz Houser replaced Elmore in the fourth inning, and kept the shutout intact allowing just two hits to secure the Tornado victory.
Game 2: Tusculum 4, Brevard 1
Box Score
Brevard totaled seven hits, led by Curlee and Chelsi Mallory who each went two for three in the game, but only managed to cross the plate once in the 4-1 loss.
The Tornados led 1-0 after Curlee drove in Gift for her fifth RBI of the day, and the Tornados' only run of the game.

Carol's Crusade for a Cure
Mani-for-a-Cure is a Carol's Crusade for a Cure (CCFAC) event. CCFAC was founded in 2013 by a group of family and friends in memory of Carol Eilbott Klebanow. Battling triple negative breast cancer over the last 8 years of her life, Carol was a true fighter and had an absolute determination to fight and win. She courageously fought this aggressive disease while comforting and uplifting others by instilling her enormous fortitude in life in everyone around her. Through various initiatives, CCFAC will continue to honor Carol's life and the values she possesseed by continuing the fight to help find a cure for triple negative breast cancer.
For more information about CCFAC, please visit Carol's Crusade for a Cure Foundation.
Triple negative breast cancer is one of the most aggressive subtypes of breast cancer. A diagnosis of TNBC means that the tumor in question doesn't exhibit any of the three known receptors and therefore cannot receive receptor-targeted treatment. Without any targeted treatments, TNBC tends to be more aggressive, more likely to recur, and more difficult to treat. For patients with triple negative breast cancer, early detection is not enough. More awareness and funding is needed to help develop targeted treatments to find a cure for patients with triple negative breast cancer.

Did you know...
- Exclusive breastfeeding reduces the risk of being overweight as a child, decreases the number of infections in infants and protects children against obesity and other chronic diseases?
- In addition to benefits for the infant, there are health benefits for the nursing mother including returning to a healthy weight and bonding with her baby?
- Hospitals play a crucial role in helping mothers breastfeed exclusively and for a longer duration?
- Mothers who deliver babies in hospitals that make breastfeeding-friendly changes in their policies, practices and overall physical structure of their maternity wards tend to breastfeed their children for longer than mothers who deliver in other facilities?.
ShapingNJ Strategies
Healthcare settings, such as hospitals, physician's offices, and other care centers, reach thousands of New Jerseyans each day and play a critical role in obesity prevention efforts. ShapingNJ prioritized its work in the healthcare setting around breastfeeding.
Promote exclusive breastfeeding through proven policies and practices.
- Encourage delivery sites to adopt the World Health Organization/UNICEF's "Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding" and the Joint Commission's Perinatal Care Core Measure Set, which requires participating hospitals to report their rates of exclusive breastfeeding.
- Provide support in primary care and community settings - before and after women give birth - to encourage exclusive breastfeeding.

|Vince Dooley: Walking His 'Dogs to New Orleansby Marty Mulé
The lyrics seemed to fit Vince Dooley: "Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end. We thought they'd last forever and a day.''
Of course, nothing last forever and a day - or even very long. But it seemed like it for the while.
In football terms, three straight seasons is practically an epoch. And from 1981 to 1983, Georgia played in three of the most hellacious Sugar Bowls ever, each one representing a potential No. 1 finish for the Bulldogs. Georgia did land atop the polls after one, let the title slip away in another, and fell dramatically in one of the game's most memorable endings in the third.
"It took a national champion and a perfect throw, by one of the game's best throwers, to keep us from chalking up three consecutive Sugar Bowl victories - which would have been quite a feat,'' Dooley reflected.
Georgia football at the time was a feat in itself. During that three-year span, the Bulldogs compiled a 33-3-0 record, largely on the running of Herschel Walker - with two of those defeats coming at the hands of opponents that finished No. 1. Eighteen points separated Georgia from three full seasons without a loss.
Georgia was in the midst of a tremendous run, best in school history, and New Orleans forever will be linked to Bulldog lore. But not only because Dawgs fans were enamored to ring in the New Year - seemingly every New Year - in the French Quarter.
That began just five years after a tie-in was created between the Sugar Bowl and the Southeastern Conference, and it took a little getting used to for the formerly free-wheeling league schools, all used to playing in all the major open bowls, that New Orleans was their destination of choice. That if a school won the SEC, the Crescent City was where they were going to be on New Year's Day.
"I remember fans asking, 'Are we going to New Orleans again?' '' Dooley said, chuckling. "I'd say, yes, if you want us to be regarded as SEC champions, that's where we're going.''
Florida assistant athletic director Greg McGarity, then at Georgia, pointed out there's only so much of New Orleans to go around, and by the time the Bulldogs had seen the sights and eaten at its outstanding restaurants two or three times, the thrill had worn down a bit. "People would say, 'How many times can we eat at Commander's Palace before it becomes an ordinary event?' '' McGarity said he would answer, 'Hey, enjoy this while you can. There's no telling when we'll be back.' ''
Before Georgia played Florida State in the 2003 game, McGarity finished his thought: "Sure enough, it's 20 years now since we played in a Sugar Bowl.''
Still, in those three games, Georgia left indelible memories of extraordinary Sugar Bowls.
Georgia outscored 11 opponents with a combination of Walker's running (1,616 yards - 30 yards better than Tony Dorsett's NCAA freshman record), Rex Robinson's place-kicking, and an opportunistic defense, which led the nation in turnover margin (2.09 per game).
Seventh-ranked Notre Dame, who lost its first game in the season-finale against Southern Cal, was paired with the Dawgs in the Sugar Bowl - making for an unusual buildup. The Irish's mammoth defense outweighed Georgia's offense by 15 pounds a man, a factor in Notre Dame's opening as a one-point favorite over the Bulldogs, an undefeated No. 1-ranked team nobody could quite believe.
It was left to Robinson, then the second most prolific field-goal kicker in NCAA history with 59 field goals, to capture just what this Georgia team was and what could be expected in its 12th game.
"I know we've been fortunate in many ways,'' Robinson said on New Year's Eve. "What we've been, more than anything else, is a team of survivors. Somewhere, someone has been there to pick us up.''
The result of the pairing of the big-bodied Irish and the scrappy and largely unappreciated Bulldogs was absorbing drama.
On Georgia's second play from scrimmage, Walker found daylight at right end and picked up nine yards before being knocked out of bounds - a play that was called back for holding, and almost cost the Bulldogs their workhorse. Walker suffered a separated shoulder on the play.
"The doctor said I dislocated my shoulder,'' Walker said later, "and they told me it was over. I said, 'You've got to be joking me. You've got to put it back in place.' I said to myself, 'I didn't come this far to dislocate my shoulder and not play!' So they put it back in place and I went back on the field.''
While the doctors were putting Walker back together, Notre Dame, already ahead 3-0, was on the verge of kicking another field goal from the 31. Then Terry Hoage, a reserve freshman defensive back who had played five minutes during Georgia's regular season, came in. During Sugar Bowl preparations the coaches had the backups attempt blocks. Hoage displayed a real knack for it and was put on the travel squad.
Hoage sliced through the line, and flew in front of the ball as it left the kicker's foot. Georgia then drove close enough for Robinson to kick a tying field goal.
On the kickoff Notre Dame's deep backs, Jim Stone and Ty Barber, each thinking the other would take it, drifted away from the ball before it hit near the goal line and bounced laterally. A Georgia brother act, Steve and Bob Kelly, closed on the ball. Steve dived at the offering, hit it, and the ball bounced into Bob's hands at the 1.
The play has come to be remembered in Athens as "the world's longest on-sides kick.''
Georgia left the Superdome as an undefeated, untied, and slightly unbelievable national champion.
The Bulldogs' unbeaten streak came to a sudden end in the third game of the '81 season when Georgia committed nine turnovers in a 13-3 defeat at Clemson.
Dooley pulled his squad back together, and the Georgia finished the regular season with a 10-1 record and a No. 3 ranking.
The Sugar Bowl matched Georgia with Pittsburgh, led by quarterback Dan Marino. The Panthers had been ranked No. 1 before losing the top spot in a 48-14 loss to Penn State in the last game of the regular season, dropping Pitt to No. 5.
Still, a victory by Georgia in the Sugar coupled with a loss by top-ranked Clemson in the Orange Bowl could lift the Bulldogs to No. 1.
Georgia, much as it did the year before against Notre Dame, scrapped for everything it could get against Pitt. Midway through the fourth quarter, quarterback Buck Belue evaded a fierce rush at the 10 and got rid of a pass just before he was tackled. Tight end Clarence Kay made a leaping catch in the corner of the end zone for a 20-17 Georgia lead.
All the Bulldogs had to do at this point was protect their lead for 8:13. When they held Pitt and forced a punt, Georgia just needed to squeeze out two or three first downs to wipe out most of the 5:29 left on the clock.
Couldn't do it.
Marino & Co. got the ball back at their 20 with 3:48 remaining and moved upfield, overcoming a series of third and fourth-down situations. When the Panthers reached the Bulldogs' 33, on a fourth-and-5 with 42 seconds to play, Pitt coach Jackie Sherrill and Marino decided to go for it.
"It comes dowm to this,'' Marino said. "It's a 50-yard field goal, and even if we make it, which is a long shot, it's still going to be a 20-20 score. If we go for it and make the first down, then we have a shot to win the game. And if we don't make first down, then we don't deserve to win the game.''
Dooley made a decision to do what he said he wouldn't: an all-out blitz against Marino. "It was kind of picking your poison,'' Dooley recalled. "We felt we had to do something to disrupt him.''
Marino took the snap. His backs picked up the blitzing linebackers. The other receivers adjusted and went deep against Georgia's man-to-man coverage. Marino took a deeper drop than usual and singled out John Brown, a former wide receiver turned tight end, who was breaking down the center of the field.
"He looked like he was bending to the outside on a short route to pick up the first down,'' said safety Steve Kelly. "I got my shoulders turned around and he broke behind me. When I looked up, there was the ball.''
And a spectacular 24-20 Pitt victory.
"That,'' Dooley says now, "was like a dagger to my heart.''
Eleven straight victories in 1982 had Georgia again ranked No. 1. Penn State lost an early game to Alabama but picked itself up to rise to No. 2 by the end of the regular season.
And that was the pairing in the 49th Sugar Bowl. For the sixth time in history, and the second time in the last five Sugar Bowls, No. 1 and No. 2-ranked opponents would tee it.
The main attractions would be Walker, the Heisman Trophy recipient and now the third-leading rusher in NCAA history with 5,097 yards, and Curt Warner and Todd Blackledge, the legs and the arm on which Penn State's success hinged.
Georgia led the nation with 35 interceptions. Penn State, a four-point favorite, was more balanced on offense. For the third time in five years a No. 1-ranked team was the underdog in the Sugar Bowl.
The Nittany Lions knew what they had to do defensively: stop Walker. Defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky installed an alignment featuring two down linemen at times, an eight-man front at other times, and varied looks. The idea was to disrupt Georgia's offensive rhythm and keep Walker from moving from sideline to sideline.
It worked perfectly. Walker was "held'' to 107 yards on 28 carries, his lowest output since his freshman season, with the exception of the opening game with Clemson when a broken thumb relegated him mainly to decoy status. For the only time in his career, Walker didn't break a run of longer than 12 yards.
The only turnover Penn State committed that night, a fumbled punt, made things close. Georgia drove from the Lions' 43 to the 9 before quarterback John Lastinger had to scramble, then threw back across the field to tight end Clarence Kay for the touchdown that made the score 27-23 with 3:54 to go. Georgia went for two in order to get in position for a winning field goal later. But Walker was again stopped short.
Not a major concern - if the Bulldogs could make a stop and get the ball back again.
Just like the previous year against Pittsburgh, Georgia couldn't do it.
Blackledge sneaked for 2 on third-and-2 at the 23, and then, on third-and-3 at the 32, he completed a 6-yard pass. Walker said the Georgia offense was confident it would pull the game out. But when Penn State made that first down, he said, "I turned to the guy standing next to me and said, 'We won't be going out there again.' ''
Dooley, thinking back, said, "If we could have just stopped them after the touchdown, we would have had another national championship. We had our chances, but we just couldn't do it.
"Still, we had quite a ride back in those days in New Orleans.''
Indeed. For the Bulldogs - and the Sugar Bowl - it was a golden age.
