- - Never fly spray a wet horse?
Never fly spray a wet horse? Not sure where I should have posted this, so my apologies if it's in the wrong place! I was lunging my mare this morning, hosed her off after, threw a fly sheet on & dosed her with fly spray. It got me thinking about what someone had said a few years ago where I used to work (I was a camp counsellor at a local stable). "You never fly spray a wet horse" She seemed pretty set on the fact that it would soak into the horses pores and cause skin irritation, hives, etc... can't remember exactly what else she had said. I've never had any issues with fly spraying my horses while they're wet? I hose my mare off (if she's really sweaty and it's hot) and fly spray her after ever ride. I tried google but came up with nothing. The only downside I could see from it would be the spray evaporating with the water making it less effective? I just do it because she's like a deer fly magnet when she's wet. Anyone else heard of this? Is it true? |
Sounds like a stupid old wive's tale. If the horse is going to absorb it through their pores, they'll do it wet or dry. As long as you sweat scrape the excess water off the animal, I don't see a problem. |
I have been fly spraying after hosing horses for years. Works well and gets the spray all over the horse better and down into their coat better. The fly spray is water based it delutes it down a bit but past that have never had a problem. |
If you're not saturating her coat with fly spray then it is just sitting on top where it's most effective. |
ha I just gave Shaggy a bath the other day and as soon as i got scrapped I sprayed fly spray all over him lol |
i try to get mine well saturated when they are still damp. spray seems to dry into the coat and last longer. JMO never had a ny issues. |
Someone posted the same question a few months ago. I've never had problems with skin irritation. |
I'm with everybody else - I spray after I bathe my horses (and get the excess water off) and I've never had any problems. |
I suspect the saying (which I've never heard because in the UK it never gets that hot :D ) means if is so hot it has sweated itself wet, then don't flyspray it. If a horse is hot then it's pores are open, and indeed more likely to absorb fly spray than if it's cold. It is for this reason that fancy-pants cosmetics sell you a toner to apply before using moisturiser - to close the pores after a hot shower before you clog them up with moisturiser. Anyway - I digress Absorbing the fly spray into the pores isn't necessarily a problem per se, but is probably not the best thing for a horses comfort and welfare. It might sting a bit! |
Typically most people don't put enough fly spray on a horse for it to be a concern about it getting through the coat and absorbed into the pores if they are wide open or not. Nothing but a wives tale. |

New Activists in New MexicoOutstanding Youth Gather in Albuquerque for Hardcore Advocacy Training
July 3, 2008
"I'm big on following rules," said Jeremy Turner, of Evansville, Indiana, one of YAI's 15 participants, "We have to follow the rules we set for ourselves. Shouldn't we also be following the government's rules?" Turner's question provoked exactly the kind of discussion that YAI, held this year on the campus of University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, was designed to elicit. The purpose of YAI is for young AIDS activists, many living with HIV, to benefit from the skills and knowledge of those who have come before them, then take that information back to their home towns and engage in a real-life AIDS advocacy project. "People With Passion"The week started with a bang last Wednesday with participants benefiting from the wisdom of two guest speakers: New Mexico Health Department Andrew Gans, who spoke about HIV prevention in his state, and Housing Works president and CEO Charles King, who discussed youth's role in the civil rights and AIDS movements. Thursday non-profit consultant and YAI organizer Jeremy Grandstaff led a session about leadership, and there were also sessions about back-to-back seminars. On Thursday there were sessions on leadership seminars on major AIDS issues and how to tackler them, as well as time devoted to the Campaign to End AIDS projects AIDSVote and the Stand Against AIDS Campaign to End AIDS projects AIDSVote and Stand Against AIDS. On Friday young activists took over with a policy panel. Maralis Mercado explained the Centers for Disease Control projections of new infections that are expected to rise from the long-touted 40,000; Chelsea Gulden, 26, presented her findings comparing different sexual education programs in her home state of North Carolina, where schools can only teach abstinence-until-marriage-only HIV prevention, and teachers have to report to parents any questions children ask about sex; Turner spoke about CDC's Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBIs) and the challenges they pose, and Carrie Rheingans told of her experience with needle exchange in Michigan. Even these "policy wonks," as organizer Christine Campbell affectionately called them, said YAI sharpened their skills. "It was great being surrounded by so many people with passion," Rheingans, 26, said. "I see the agenda to end AIDS and how it's achievable, and how we can turn the fight against AIDS to fight other social justice issues." She is planning to create an outline for an advocacy program that can be replicated by groups of students at University of Michigan students, and in the longer term, start Ann Arbor's first formal Latino AIDS outreach program. Gulden has been a case worker and activist since shortly after her diagnosis in 2003 -- even appearing on Oprah with fellow YAIer Brown in 2006 -- but said YAI was still eye-opening. "I've gotten to brush up on existing skills and perfect the 'elevator conversation' where I can talk about AIDS advocacy in 30 seconds," she said.
Albuquerque resident Melissa Pacheco, who, at 16 years of age was the youngster of the YAI crew, said she plans to do testing and education in different pueblos outside her city. "It's not just about the testing," she said. "It's good to talk to them and give HIV education." And what about Turner, who challenged the idea of civil disobedience as advocacy tactic? He won't be getting arrested any time soon but is enthusiastic about the upcoming Stand Against AIDS, C2EA's multi-armed cross-country road trip to the Mississippi presidential debate on September 26. "I can't make it to Mississippi but I can meet the caravaners in Louisville with sandwiches and ice. Even though I'm not a lay-down-on-the-street person, sandwich people are also important," he said.

In a deal two decades in the making, China is opening its doors to the Walt Disney Co., having finally given the quintessentially Western enterprise the go-ahead to bring Mickey Mouse and his fellow characters to Shanghai with a new Disney theme park tailored to the Chinese megalopolis. —KA
The New York Times:
The initial resort, with a mix of shopping areas, hotels and a Magic Kingdom-style theme park, will sprawl across 1,000 acres of the city's Pudong district — with the theme park occupying about 100 of those acres. It would be a little bigger than Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., and on par with the parks in Paris and Tokyo. It is expected to open in five or six years.
Disney's plans are ambitious: If further development of the resort happens as expected over the coming decades — still a big if — it will encompass more than 1,700 acres and have a capacity rivaling Disney World in Florida, which attracts about 45 million annual visitors.

First they'll take Hong Kong: Minnie and Mickey Mouse, shown at Disney's Hong Kong outpost, are getting ready to head to mainland China.

No. 19 Point Park loses to No. 20 Missouri Baptist, 13-6, in NAIA Opening Round
May 9, 2013 at 11:30 p.m. ET

Next Game: No. 2 Point Park (39-15) vs. No. 5 Benedictine-Springfield (Ill.), Fri., May 10 at 11 a.m. ET
KINGSPORT, Tenn. -- No. 19-ranked Point Park University had 10 hits, scored six runs against a good pitcher and had plenty of chances but didn't have enough on the scoreboard as No. 20 Missouri Baptist won, 13-6, in the first game of the NAIA Baseball National Championship Opening Round in the Kingsport (TN) Bracket.
No. 2 seed Point Park (39-15) drops to the loser's bracket where it will play No. 5 seed Benedictine-Springfield (IL) (23-24) on Friday, May 10 at 11 a.m. with the loser being eliminated.
Missouri Baptist (32-11), the No. 3 seed in the five-team regional site, banged out 20 hits and put up 13 runs, both of which were season-highs given up by Point Park. The Spartans had eight starters with two or more hits as they got hitting up and down the lineup versus three Pioneers' pitchers.
To be sure, Point Park had plenty of chances on its own but could not cash in, particularly early, as it fell behind, 7-1, by the time the hour-long rain delay arrived as it was coming to bat in the bottom of the fourth. Point Park did its best to peck away at the lead getting within 9-4 and 11-6, but it never got the big hit or the big inning when it needed it.
The Pioneers left 13 men on base, which was three more than Missouri Baptist. The Pioneers got six runs and 10 hits versus a talented pitcher Ethan Gibbons, who improved to 11-0 in 12 starts and had a 1.67 ERA entering the day. Even with the five walks and four hit battes allowed by Gibbons, the Pioneers didn't make him pay as he limited the damage.
Jordan Crowell was 2 for 4 with three RBIs, and Rob Novia was 2 for 3 with two RBIs to lead Point Park. Crowell had a big, RBI double in the sixth to cut the lead to 9-4, and Novia had an important, two-run single in the seventh to make it 11-6, but both times the Pioneers had the rally cut short and could get no closer.
Don McDuffee was 2 for 5 to increase his team-high hit total to 77, which is seven shy of tying the Point Park record of 84 hits in the single season. Marlon Leyva hit his seventh homer of the year, a line drive, solo shot to left center that gave Point Park hope at 9-3 in the fifth.
Missouri Baptist, which advances to play No. 1 seed Tennessee Wesleyan in the winner's bracket final Friday at 2:30 p.m., had its table setters on base all day, and got the big RBIs from the middle and end of the order. Lead-off man Patrick Johnson was 3 for 4 with four runs, and No. 2 hitter Ryan Gunhouse was 2 for 4 with three runs and two RBIs.
Pier Olivier-Dostaler was 4 for 6 while Joseph Taylor and Garrett Vail each had two hits and two RBIs. Joe Stropp added a 3-for-5 performance, and Dan Harper was 2 for 4 with three RBIs. Harper had a big, two-run homer to increase the lead to 9-2 in the fifth after Point Park had cut into th lead.
Another big hit that added on late was Gunhouse's two-run double in the seventh to bump the advantage up to 11-4.
Sean Clark (6-5) got the start for Point Park and took the loss in four innings. Clark did not return after the rain delay came in the bottom of the fourth. Toby Eigner pitched two innings, and Isaiah Marsh three out of the Pioneers' bullpen.
Gibbons threw 135 pitches in seven innings with eight strikeouts, five walks and four hit batters. He gave up six runs on nine hits, but the Pioneers were never able to string more than a couple hits together in any inning.
Friday's game with Benedictine-Springfield (IL) will be broadcast by the Point Park Sports Network. Watch Live at www.iHigh.com/PointParkSportsNetwork. Pre-game show at 10:45 p.m. ET
Benedictine-Springfield, the champions of the American Midwest Conference, lost to No. 4 Taylor (Ind.), 10-2, in the first game of the day Thursday. The Bulldogs are just a couple of years removed from being a junior-college program and are in the NAIA national tournament for the first time.
The Bulldogs don't rank in the top 30 of the NAIA in any category although they hit a solid .293 as a team. Benedictine-Springfield has a relatively high team ERA of 5.43, but it still has junior right-hander Jordan Pesko yet to work in the tournament. He has good numbers at 7-2 with a 1.93 ERA in a team-high 74.2 innings.
Benedictine-Springfield has just two players hitting above .309 and has five players hitting above .300 in the starting lineup. Lead-off hitter 2B Zane Dillon has the highest average by far at .374 with one homer and 27 RBIs. 3B Tommy Jennings hits third and entered the tournament at .320 with four homers and 35 RBIs. LF Brett Beckett is the cleanup man, and he hits .305 with a team-high six homers to go with 28 RBIs.

Opinions, Context & Ideas from the TPM Editors TPM Editor's Blog
Is Mail Dying?
At some level, that's hardly surprising. Every company is trying to wean people off paper bills and get them onto electronic billing. That saves them money and it's unquestionably better for the environment. And when was the last time you sat down and wrote someone a letter?
Still, when you think about the centrality of the mail in our national existence, a 20% drop in four years sounds like a precipitous decline. I'm uncertain how 'volume' is defined here. I would assume by unit and not by literal volume. But it's basically the same difference either way. This is a big historic, cultural shift. But it does make me wonder how viable the USPS as we now know it will be in the coming years. Big systems like a postal system can only survive with massive economies of scale. Without the bills and bulk mail and everything else keeping the whole system moving, sending your tiny little letter probably couldn't be remotely cost-efficient.
At the same time, the digital revolution has -- I would assume -- at least kept up and possibly dramatically increased the number of packages sent through the postal service -- the clothes you buy online, the stuff you buy from Amazon etc.
I'm sure there's a literature about the transformation of the postal service as well as the other commercial shipping services that at least partially compete with it. If you're familiar with this issue, please drop me a line. Let me know where I can find out more.

Whether it's hitting the links or serving up a delicious steak, Ann Marie Roberts is a top choice in Craig.
Roberts has been making her mark on the youth of Craig for years.
A Craig native, she recently started working and living in the city full-time, and has therefore been able to get involved even more.
Roberts is coach of the Moffat County High School girls golf team and co-owner of the Double Barrel Steakhouse on Ranney St. with her husband. She has been successful thus far in both ventures and considers herself lucky to be where she is.
After finishing up at Doane College in Crete, Neb., Roberts helped out at a golf course in Lincoln, Neb. and eventually was hired there. Later she came back to the Craig area and became assistant to Chuck Cobb, who was the golf pro at Yampa Valley Golf Course at the time.
Roberts also helped with the girls golf team, which Cobb coached, until he decided his time was up and passed the gig along to Roberts. Cobb said it was the natural move to make, given Roberts' golfing pedigree and penchant for coaching.
"When I felt my time was done as a girls golf coach, Ann Marie was back and I thought it was a great fit, not only because of her expertise in the game of golf, but also being a female with the girls golf team is a good fit as well," Cobb said. "She had grown up working for me at the golf course and was active in our junior golf programs. She was familiar with the kids, worked well with the kids and I think it was just a natural fit."
Cobb was right and Roberts, entering her ninth season this spring, has no desire stop.
"I love it," Roberts said about coaching. "They're a great bunch of kids and every year you're thinking, 'how long am I going to do this?' But there's always a couple kids that show up that you just can't leave. They're a lot of fun."
Roberts' foray into Craig's restaurant industry started when the Double Barrel Steakhouse moved from Hayden to its current location on Ranney Street. As a result of being in Craig full-time, she has been able to get more involved in the community, a place about which she is passionate.
Roberts has joined the Moffat County Commitment to Excellence Committee and the Booster Club, and may join the board of the Chamber of Commerce as well. Her desire to be involved comes from enjoying working with youth and promoting the community.
"I don't like to join something and then not see it go forward," she said. "I just do things and I like to see them progress. I've always liked kids and I think the schools in general are important. I think we're seeing a big change being involved in that community."
In Cobb's opinion, anything Roberts gets her hands on will be better off for it.
"I think she's a great person and a great teacher," he said. "She'll keep doing that for many years, as long as she's in Craig I'd imagine."

The second of nine children, Whitman was born on May 31, 1819, on Long Island, New York, to Quaker parents. In 1823, the Whitmans moved to Brooklyn, where Whitman attended public school. At age eleven he left school to work as an office boy in a law office and then as a typesetter's apprentice at a number of print shops. Although his family moved back to Long Island in 1834, Whitman stayed in Brooklyn and then Manhattan to become a compositor. Unable to find work, he rejoined his family on Long Island in 1836 and taught at several schools. In addition to teaching, Whitman started his own newspaper, the Long Islander. He subsequently edited numerous papers for short periods over the next fourteen years, including the New York Aurora and the Brooklyn Eagle, and published poems and short stories in various periodicals.

Bobby Fischer - The Greatest?
Product Code: B0108IS
Book Description
This is a book in Descriptive Chess Notation of great importance not only because of the question it addresses, but because of who asks and then answers that question. Dr. Max Euwe, who was world chess champion from 1935 to 1937, compares and contrasts Bobby Fischer with the three greatest players before him, world champions Lasker, Capablanca and Alekhine.
Max Euwe is unique in that he had played all of these players in tournaments and had studied all of their games in great detail. He knew more about them and their games than anybody else.
He has a chapter devoted to comparing each of these players to Bobby Fischer. The chapters are entitled "Capablanca and Fischer", "Alekhine and Fischer", "Lasker and Fischer" and finally "Fischer and the Living World Champions", Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian and Spassky.
No other book makes these comparisons and addresses these questions, certainly none by any player of the stature of Euwe.
Was Bobby Fischer the greatest chess player who ever lived? In this book, Max Euwe, himself a past world champion who also acted as referee at the famous Iceland matches in 1972, here compares Fischer with previous holders of the world chess championship titles.
Here are analysis of games that Fischer actually played against Botvinnik, Petrosian, Smyslov, Spassky, Tal, and Euwe. More importantly, Grandmaster Euwe compares certain aspects of Fischer's play with the best games of Capablanca, Alekhine, and Lasker, the most highly regarded world champions of recent times, who were deceased by the time Fischer was playing in tournaments.

Date: February 12 2013
President Barack Obama has praised the humble heroism of US soldier Clinton Romesha, awarding him a Medal of Honor for his actions in one of the most desperate firefights of the Afghan war.
Army Staff Sergeant Romesha, 31, fought off fierce enemy fire despite being wounded, in a 12-hour siege of an exposed mountain outpost in 2009 in which 53 American soldiers were pinned down by 300 Taliban fighters.
Eight Americans died and 22 were wounded in fighting that Obama described "as one of the most intense battles of the entire war in Afghanistan".
"The attackers had the advantage, the high ground, the mountains above, and they were unleashing everything they had, rocket-propelled grenades, heavy machine guns, mortars, snipers taking aim," Obama said on Monday.
Despite shrapnel wounds to his hip, an arm and his neck, Romesha repeatedly charged into enemy fire - once through a 100-metre hail of bullets, to rescue wounded Americans and the bodies of the dead.
"These men were outnumbered, outgunned and almost overrun," Obama said, at an emotional ceremony in the East Room of the White House in which he conferred America's highest individual military honour on Romesha.
"Looking back, one of them said, 'I'm surprised any of us made it out'."
Obama said the scale of heroism shown on that day was evidenced in the list of decorations conferred in the aftermath, including 37 Army Commendation Medals, 27 Purple Hearts, 28 Bronze Stars and nine Silver Stars.
"There are many lessons ... one of them is that our troops should never, ever be put in a position where they have to defend the indefensible," he said.
"That's what these soldiers did for each other, in sacrifice driven by pure love."
The official military citation accompanying Romesha's medal said he shot dead three Taliban fighters who had breached the perimeter of the outpost and "destroyed multiple enemy targets".
Romesha, his hands shaking as he fought to control his emotions, later told reporters that he accepted the medal on behalf of his comrades that did not make it home.
"I stand here with mixed emotions, of both joy and sadness," Romesha said outside the White House, with the blue ribbon of the medal around his neck, as he mourned his lost "battle buddies" in Afghanistan.
"I accept this tremendous honour of behalf of all soldiers who have served with me that day. This award is for the eight soldiers that did not make it and for the rest of the team that fought valiantly and magnificently."
Romesha, now retired, served two tours in Afghanistan and four in Iraq. He now lives with his family in North Dakota and works in the oil industry.

Every day on a bike is great, but today was betterTuesday's ride was was useful after all; you need to define the lowpoint of your season, and that ride delivered! Today was, thankfully, a huge improvement. I felt like my old self again (maybe I should say former self again, as it was Tuesday's ride I felt seriously old), taking longer to get dropped on Kings, being able to contest a few sprints, and feeling later in the day like my legs actually did something. I even rode up through the park (the tougher way of getting up Kings) without having the honor of watching the fast folk ride off into the distance. Much of the credit does in fact go to my bike. This morning I was on my Madone 6.9 with its carbon wheels and a frame that says "give me more and we'll fly up this hill together" instead of that riding-through-sand feel I get on my rain bike. And it's not as if my rain bike isn't a nice ride; that 2002 Trek 5900 has taken me to some amazing places and represented state-of-the-art back in the day, but two things are undeniable. First, the current Madone 6-series bike is so good it leaves you wondering what they could possibly come up with to replace it. Second, the 5900 is set up for the elements, with heavy tires designed for traction in the wet (which they deliver) but at the expense of liveliness. OK, there is a third item. I'm getting older and need all the help I can get! It's been a while since I've done a roll call, but I'm going to try and get back in the habit. We had Kevin (son, not the pilot), Nigel, Karen, Karl, Todd & Eric. Not as many as Tuesday's ride, when George, Jon, Kevin (pilot) and Marcus were witnesses to my season's low-point. I really did feel good this morning. Compared to the others, nothing to write home about, but just being able to get that feeling that my legs hurt because they were doing something more than just turning the pedals because they had to... they were turning the pedals because they wanted to. I live for that feeling. |

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Pied Piper Players is debuting a new musical, and they're one of only two theater groups in the country to present it.
"Porridge" was written by British composer Craig Hawes, who penned last year's Pied Piper production, "Pirates of the Curry Bean." "Porridge" was given to only four theater companies – two in Europe and two in America – and Pied Piper Players is one of the four.
"We're one of the few places that is a children's theater. There are no adults doing anything for any of the kids," said director Jane Miller.
The cast is made up of kindergarteners through eighth-graders, and the tech crew is made up of teens.
Big laughs
"'Porridge' is a mystery of mammoth proportions," Miller said. "It's about an organized crime porridge ring, and Papa Bear is a cereal killer. He wants to get rid of all the cereal. He wants to white out Wheaties and kill Corn Flakes."
It's up to gumshoe Jack Spratt (Trevor Hart) and the police, headed up by Chief Inspector Drain (Jade Waller) to solve crimes, while bad guys like the Wicked Witch, Big Bad Wolf and Peter Piper insist they've been framed.
"It's so stupidly funny," Waller said. "It's like a spin-off of all the stories everybody already knows. It's hilarious."
Afton Gable, 8, stars in her first Pied Piper play, after falling in love with theater at theater camp this summer. She stars as Miss Muffet, complete with her own curds and whey.
"I scream 'Spider!' a lot," she said. "I like that there are a bunch of characters, and I like to sing and dance. I like the very first song, 'Once Upon a Crime.'"
Miller said the true story of nursery rhymes will be explained in "Porridge."
"Goldie was framed," she said. "You think you know the story, but you don't."
• What: Pied Piper Players presents "Porridge"
• When: 7 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday
• Where: Milam Auditorium, Tupelo
• Cost: $7/adults, $5/students
• Info: thepiedpiperplayers.com

Early Alerts
Supporting student learning and success is a major priority at Volunteer State Community College. Early ALERT is Volunteer State Community College's intervention tool used to identify students who are facing difficulties that may put their academics at risk.
With the Early ALERT system, faculty and staff can identify areas of concern about students timelier and with a more coordinated effort with other offices. Early ALERTS give students immediate connection to the right resources and support.
How does Early ALERT work?
Faculty and staff notice a student is facing issues that could create obstacles for student success. All Faculty utilize the secure online reporting tool in Self Service Banner via the Vol State Portal. Staff members utilize the online secure ALERT form.
The secure information is received in the Office of Retention Support Services and College Success. The concerns are reviewed and ALERTS are referred to the appropriate offices for intervention.
Reasons for submitting an Early ALERT
- ALERTS can provide resources to students in a way that is very fast and easy.
- Earlier is better. Connecting the student immediately with services helps them to get back on track quickly.
- Coordinating the intervention. ALERTS go to one office and are referred out based upon recommendations. It's a streamlined effort.
Some characteristics displayed by a student who might benefit from an ALERT include:
Attendance issues [Leaving Early/Arriving Late] |
Lack of Attendance [Missing consecutive days, weeks, months, never attended] |
Poor Performance on quizzes/exams |
College adjustment issues |
Poor performance on writing assignments |
Financial problems |
Lack of participation in class |
Physical health concerns |
Difficulty completing assignments |
Mental health concerns |
Difficulty with Reading |
Career Counseling |
Difficulty with Writing |
Assistance with Study Habits |
Sudden decline in academic performance |
Student needs Veterans Affairs Assistance |
Estimated Grade |
Grade Below "C" |
Not prepared with materials [No book, paper, pencils, etc.] |
Student might benefit from services provided to non-traditional students |
Students want and appreciate feedback! ALERTS can also be utilized as a progress reports throughout the semester. Faculty can submit estimated grades, words of encouragement, and a Kudos! ALERT feedback can keep students motivated and can truly make the difference in performance at the end of the semester.
Have questions? Contact the Office of Retention Support and College Success at 615-230-3390 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Three crashes, two of them fatal, a national study and state statistics have underscored the arrival of a dangerous time of year -- deer vs. motorist season.
The most recent crash killed Justin T. Malik, 17, of Herminie, early Thursday. He was a passenger in a car that went out of control when a deer ran in front of it on Arona Road in New Stanton just after 1 a.m. The car hit a tree and continued into a cyclone fence.
On Wednesday, a deer bounded from an embankment and crashed through the windshield of a UPS truck in Greensburg. The animal thrashed about in the cabin, causing the driver to lose control and crash on Route 30, police said.
Earlier this month, Daniel Grissom, 34, of Homer City, died when his car hit the carcass of a deer that was knocked into his lane by another car, deflecting him into the path of an oncoming truck on Route 422 in Armstrong County.
The driver in Wednesday's crash, identified as Justin Kubecki, 29, of Greensburg, was not seriously hurt but was disoriented and taken to a hospital as a precaution, according to state police.
It could've been much worse, Trooper Steve Limani said.
"I've had crashes where deer go through windshields and people don't survive," he said. "This had the potential for him to hit other vehicles."
This is the time of year when deer-vehicle crashes rise significantly, and Trooper Limani recommended extra caution. An important rule, he said: "Don't swerve. Use your brakes. That's it."
After three years of decline, crashes involving deer increased in Pennsylvania and nationally for the year ended June 30, according to State Farm Insurance's annual report on the issue, published this week.
The nation saw a 7.7 percent increase in deer vs. vehicle collisions for the year, and in Pennsylvania, crashes increased by 9 percent, the company reported. While the Keystone State had the most deer-related crashes in the U.S., with 115,751, West Virginia was the state where a driver was most likely to hit one.
West Virginia drivers had a 1 in 40 chance of striking a deer, leading the nation for the sixth consecutive year; in Pennsylvania, the odds were 1 in 76, slightly higher than the year before and fifth in the nation. Nationwide, the chances were 1 in 171.
State Farm, the nation's largest auto insurer, uses its claims data to project the totals. It noted that the rise in deer-vehicle collisions came as overall accident claims dropped by 8.5 percent.
Spokesman Dave Phillips said the company publishes the data to raise awareness heading into November, the worst month for deer-vehicle crashes.
Mating and hunting seasons and the impending end of daylight-saving time create the "perfect formula" for trouble, he said.
Experts say drivers need to be especially aware around dawn and in the late afternoon and early evening, when deer movement is at its highest.
The average crash caused $3,305 in damage, up 4.4 percent from the year before, State Farm reported. Mr. Phillips noted that policyholders who buy only the state minimum, without comprehensive coverage, are not insured against vehicle damage caused by striking an animal.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, there were 182 reportable deer-vehicle crashes in Allegheny County in 2011, up from 171 the year before. In both of those years, there were no fatalities but 31 people were injured. Crashes have increased every year since 2007.
The number of calls placed to PennDOT for removal of deer carcasses illustrates the seasonal spike in casualties. In August 2011, crews picked up 70 fallen deer in Allegheny County; the number rose to 104 in September, 195 in October and 476 in November before falling back to 234 in December 2011, said Steve Cowan, safety press officer for PennDOT District 11.
Statewide, there were 3,403 reportable deer-vehicle collisions with nine fatalities and 679 injured in 2011. Those totals were up from the previous year's totals of 3,161 crashes, eight killed and 644 injured. Crashes are reportable only if there is injury or one or more vehicles must be towed.
"We want people to expect the unexpected," Mr. Cowan said. "Deer do strange things at this time of the year."

Makes one 8-inch loaf cake
In France, home bakers measure all the ingredients in the small, glass yogurt containers they buy in the supermarket: three containers of flour, two of sugar, one of yogurt. Lots of bakers make a version of this cake. This is based on a recipe from Dorie Greenspan and uses both a clear glaze and white icing. I have made this cake with great success using half vegetable oil and half olive oil.
Butter (for the pan) | |
Flour (for the pan) | |
1½ | cups flour |
2 | teaspoons baking powder |
¾ | teaspoon kosher salt |
1 | cup sugar |
1 | tablespoon finely grated lemon rind |
¾ | cup whole-milk vanilla Greek yogurt |
½ | cup vegetable oil |
2 | eggs |
½ | teaspoon vanilla extract |
1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Butter an 8½-by-4¼-inch loaf pan. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, using your fingers, rub the lemon rind into the sugar until the sugar is moist. With a spoon, stir in the yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour mixture just until blended.
4. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the top of the cake is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
1 | cup confectioners' sugar |
2 | tablespoons lemon juice |
1. In a saucepan, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
2. Turn the cake out onto a serving platter. Brush with the top and sides with glaze. Leave to cool.
2 | cups confectioners' sugar |
4 | tablespoons milk |
¼ | teaspoon pure lemon extract |
1. In a bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, milk, and lemon
extract until smooth.
2. Turn the cake out onto a serving platter. Pour the icing over the cake, going back and forth, so it drips over the sides. Let the cake
sit for 30 minutes to set before
slicing. Janine Sciarappa. Adapted from "Baking: From My Home to Yours"

Title | 2006 Status Report - Savings Estimates for the ENERGY STAR Voluntary Labeling Program |
Publication Type | Journal Article |
LBNL Report Number | LBNL-56380 |
Year of Publication | 2007 |
Authors | Sanchez, Marla C., Carrie A. Webber, Richard E. Brown, and Gregory K. Homan |
Pagination | 38 |

Keywords | Enduse, Energy End-Use Forecasting, EUF |
Abstract | ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products, buildings and practices. Operated jointly by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), ENERGY STAR labels exist for more than thirty products, spanning office equipment, residential heating and cooling equipment, commercial and residential lighting, home electronics, and major appliances. This report presents savings estimates for a subset of ENERGY STAR labeled products. We present estimates of the energy, dollar and carbon savings achieved by the program in the year 2005, what we expect in 2006, and provide savings forecasts for two market penetration scenarios for the periods 2006 to 2015 and 2006 to 2025. The target market penetration forecast represents our best estimate of future ENERGY STAR savings. It is based on realistic market penetration goals for each of the products. We also provide a forecast under the assumption of 100 percent market penetration; that is, we assume that all purchasers buy ENERGY STAR-compliant products instead of standard efficiency products throughout the analysis period. |

The Rifftrax team of Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy will perform their first live online riff of a feature film this Friday with Planet of the Dinosaurs.
At 6 p.m. Pacific/9 p.m. Eastern, the Mystery Science Theater 3000 alums will open with a send-up of a short subject (Shake Hands with Danger) before launching into the feature presentation. Like the drug pusher looking for new recruits, the first hit of the short is free. But, the feature will cost you $6.99.
Rifftrax offered online live performances before, though there were a few glitches. Site technicians assure Wired.com that the subscription event this Friday night will go off without a hitch.

In the first year of our relationship Yanci asked me in a letter to pray for her Dad because he needed help. What kind of help? I thought. Is he OK? Is there something more I can do than pray?
On the bus last week I asked Yanci's mom what that prayer request was all about. "I've been praying for him for four years now and I don't why. I don't know if God's already answered my prayers."
Her face broke into a huge grin as she told me the story through a translator.

Giving people instructions on how to do things in Windows is tedious and prone to mistakes. Miss out a step and your audience can be completely lost. It's much more effective to show how a particular thing is done and for that you need to be able to record what happens on the screen as you carry out the actions needed for the demonstration. Making screen videos is what Camtasia does.
Techsmith Camtasia Studio 6 is a video recorder for Windows, which can capture every action performed with mouse or keyboard and record an audio narration to go with it. It offers editing facilities so you can join segments of video together and cut them about to produce a finished training aid or demo.
The main part of the application is the editing screen, where videos are assembled, but before you reach that stage, you have to record the segments that'll be assembled there. For that, you need Camtasia Recorder, which can be launched from the main program or separately from My Programs.
Camtasia Recorder is a simple control panel, offering options to select the screen area to be recorded: full screen or just about any custom area within it - useful for recording activity in a single Windows pane. The Recorder also offers to record Webcam output and sound from any source you select, as well as keyboard and mouse activity. When you're all set, click the big red Record button and you get a comforting 3, 2, 1 countdown, so you can settle down and compose yourself. The recorder itself minimises to the utility tray.
There's no noticeable hit on performance as you record actions and when you've finished the video or segment, hit a hotkey to stop recording and call up the recorder, again, where you can playback the clip and save it. Raw clips are saved as AVI files, which makes them convenient for just about any viewer. There's a stanadalone one supplied with Camtasia.
The main part of the application is the editing screen, which is modelled on video editors like Adobe Premiere and Corel VideoStudio. There's a timeline along the bottom of the screen, showing video and audio tracks, a preview player on the right, above this, a palette where you can load your clips to the left and a menu of options at extreme left.

She was the toast of Victorian London, New York, and Paris. She was "adopted" by Indian chief Sitting Bull, charmed the Prince of Prussia, and entertained the likes of Oscar Wilde and Queen Victoria. Annie Oakley excelled in a man's world by doing what she loved, and won fame and fortune as the little lady from Ohio who never missed a shot.
Annie Oakley is born Phoebe Ann Moses on the family farm in Darke County, Ohio, fifth of seven surviving children. Her Quaker parents, Jacob and Susan, have moved from Pennsylvania, where they ran an inn. In Ohio, the family supports itself with subsistence farming.
Abraham Lincoln is elected president, and in December South Carolina becomes the first Southern state to secede from the Union. The Civil War will begin in April 1861, and many men from Darke County will serve in the military, but Jacob Moses is too old for active duty.
Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrenders to Union Commander Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia, effectively ending the war. Five days later, Lincoln will be assassinated.
On a trip to the local general store, Jacob is caught in an early blizzard and, half-frozen, barely makes it back to the farm. He soon dies of pneumonia, plunging the family into financial crisis.
Mary Jane, the oldest child, dies of tuberculosis. The Moses family must leave their farm and move to a smaller plot, where they struggle to get by. Anxious to help, Annie begins to set traps for birds in the nearby woods, bringing home quails and grouse.
According to later stories, eight-year-old Annie takes her father's old rifle from above the fireplace, packs it with powder, heads off to the woods, and shoots a squirrel. Her horrified mother forbids her to fire a gun again.
Unable to support 10-year-old Annie at home, her mother sends her to live with Samuel and Nancy Edington at the county poor farm near Greenville, Ohio. She is subsequently sent to work for a cruel family that she will never identify, referring to them only as "the wolves."
After two years of hard labor and abuse, Annie runs away from the wolves and rejoins the Edingtons, who take her in and teach her to sew.
Annie, who has returned to her mother's house, starts shooting game in the woods and selling it to a Greenville shopkeeper. Annie does so well that she is able to pay off the $200 mortgage on her mother's home.
Annie participates in a shooting contest near Cincinnati against an Irish immigrant named Frank Butler. Butler is a well-known marksman who is performing at a theater in town and has offered to challenge any local champions. Lured by a $100 prize, Annie competes against, and defeats Butler -- she hits 25 targets in a row, while he misses the final one. Butler, though 10 years older than Annie, is smitten by this diminutive crack shot.
Annie and Frank marry. He continues to tour with his shooting act, eventually pairing up with a male partner named Baughman.
Baughman and Butler team up with the Sells Brothers Circus, joining a show that features "sixty tons of animal actors." Touring with the circus for the next year, they perform feats of marksmanship and refer to themselves as "Champion Rifle Dead-Shots of the World."
His contract with the circus finished, Butler finds a new partner John Graham and returns to performing in theaters in an act they call "America's own rifle team and champion all around shots." One night before a performance in Springfield, Ohio, Graham falls ill, and Butler, needing someone to replace him, turns to Annie. She causes an immediate sensation with her shooting prowess, and soon Butler and Graham have been replaced by Butler and Oakley, as Annie is now referring to herself. The married couple join the vaudeville circuit, but in contrast to the behavior of the more risqué female players, Oakley dresses conservatively and lets her rifle do the talking. Butler handles the business and promotional aspects of their act, while Oakley becomes the star on stage.
Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show opens in New York, one week before the new Brooklyn Bridge.
Butler and Oakley perform in St. Paul, Minnesota, in front of an audience that includes famous Native American warrior Sitting Bull, who had defeated General George Armstrong Custer at the battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. Part of Oakley's act involves shooting out the wick of a burning candle, and Sitting Bull is so impressed by her prowess that he wants to meet her, offering $65 for a photograph of the two of them together. The meeting goes so well that Sitting Bull "adopts" Oakley, giving her the Indian name "Watanya Cicilla," or "Little Sure Shot." Ever the savvy businessman, Butler places an advertisement in a trade publication talking up the meeting.
After a couple of years on the vaudeville circuit, Butler and Oakley sign with the Sells Brothers Circus for a 40-week engagement. That year the circus visits 187 towns in 13 states, journeying some 11,000 miles. The two welcome the steady pay but grow tired of the incessant travel under difficult conditions.
The Sells Circus season concludes in New Orleans at the Industrial and Cotton Exposition, leaving Butler and Oakley without a job for the winter. Also in town is Cody's Wild West show, and the Butlers ask him for a job. But Buffalo Bill already has a champion shooter named Captain Bogardus, so he turns them down.
After his shooting equipment is lost in a steamship accident, Bogardus quits Cody's show. Oakley promptly renews her request for a job. Buffalo Bill is still skeptical, but he agrees to an April try-out in Louisville, Kentucky. While preparing for the audition, Oakley catches the attention of Cody's business manager, who hires her on the spot. That season she appears before 150,000 people in 40 cities, and Oakley will perform in Cody's Wild West show for almost all of the next 17 years.
Sitting Bull signs a contract to appear in the Wild West show.
The Wild West show spends the summer performing on Staten Island. Almost 360,000 people attend, taking a ferry from Manhattan past the brand-new Statue of Liberty, set to be dedicated that fall, and then riding a newly constructed rail line four miles to the event grounds. A 15-year-old female sharpshooter named Lillian Smith joins Cody's show and quickly becomes Oakley's rival. Oakley responds by lopping six years off her own age, now telling the press that she was born in 1866.
Cody takes his show indoors, debuting the revamped Wild West in front of 6,000 people at Madison Square Garden on the day before Thanksgiving.
Oakley and the rest of Cody's performers depart New York for London on the steamer State of Nebraska. Some 180 horses and 18 buffalo also make the journey.
The American Exposition opens in London and draws 30-40,000 people a day -- the Wild West show, which the British soon dub the "Yankeeries," is its main attraction. In the course of its run, the show attracts both Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales, both of whom meet with Annie Oakley and Lillian Smith afterwards. As the show proceeds, the two sharpshooters' rivalry intensifies.
Oakley quits the Wild West show just as it finishes its London run.
Oakley returns to the stage, debuting in a variety show in Philadelphia. She engages in shooting competitions on the side, joins a rival Wild West show, and even acts in a play called Deadwood Dick.
After Lillian Smith leaves Cody's Wild West show, the stage is set for Oakley to return. A newspaper announces that she will be rejoining the show in time for its trip to Paris to participate in the Universal Exposition there.
The Paris Exposition, which commemorates the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, opens. It features the newly built Eiffel Tower and a Wild West show fronted by Oakley. Some 32 million people visit the Exposition, and Oakley's performance attracts two remarkable offers -- the president of France says she can have a commission in the French army, and the King of Senegal wants to buy Oakley for 100,000 francs so she can kill the tigers that are plaguing his country. Oakley declines both offers, but upon meeting famed inventor Thomas Edison, she has a request of her own -- she wants to know if he can design an electric gun. Edison says he will consider it.
When the Wild West show ends its six-month Paris run, Cody and his company embark on a three-year tour of Europe.
The United States Census Bureau declares that widespread settlement has brought an end to the American frontier.
Oakley returns to America a superstar, with newspapers clamoring for interviews and the public hanging on her every word.
The Chicago Columbian Exposition opens, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Columbus' landing in the Americas. While historian Frederick Jackson Turner gives a paper describing the closing of the American frontier, Cody's celebration of frontier life is doing brisk business. Although the Wild West show is not part of the official "White City" exposition, it attracts record crowds in its venue across the street. This year will be Cody's best, with the show playing before six million people and making a profit of one million dollars.
The Butlers move into their new home in Nutley, New Jersey, more than a thousand miles from the "wild west" she has never lived in but has come to symbolize.
The Wild West show sets up shop for the summer in Brooklyn. For the first time, the show can be performed at night, thanks to an enormous array of new electric lights.
Oakley travels to electric light inventor Thomas Edison's studio in West Orange, New Jersey, to give a shooting demonstration in front of another one of his contraptions called a kinetoscope. Edison wants to see if the kinetoscope, forerunner of today's motion picture cameras, can capture the smoke from Oakley's shots, which it does.
The Wild West show closes for the season, a financial disappointment that Cody blames in part on the country's economic depression and the cost of running all the electric lights.
In an effort to restore its past profitability, Cody takes his Wild West show back on the road, visiting 131 towns. Oakley continues to tour with the show for the next several years, crisscrossing the country by train while firing, in her estimation, more than 40,000 shots in a single year. Oakley's act is celebrated throughout the country, but life on the road is exhausting for her.
Oakley performs in her home town of Greenville, Ohio, for the first time as a part of the Wild West show. Given a commemorative silver cup by the townspeople, Oakley says she prizes it "more highly than anything ever presented to me."
Near the end of the Wild West season, the Butlers are in a train accident. Neither is injured but they are shaken up and decide to leave the show. Shortly thereafter, she retires from Cody's Wild West show for good, and Frank accepts a job as representative for the Union Metallic Cartridge Company.
Oakley returns to the stage, starring as the sharpshooting heroine in The Western Girl. She receives good reviews, and the play will run until March 1903.
In Chicago, publisher William Randolph Hearst's popular, sensationalist newspapers report that Annie Oakley is in prison, sentenced for "stealing the trousers of a negro in order to get money with which to buy cocaine." Though completely false, the story is picked up by newspapers from coast to coast. Oakley is livid and demands retractions -- even though most of the newspapers comply, she is not mollified and ends up filing 55 libel suits. The legal battles will run until 1910, with Oakley traveling the country testifying in various courtrooms. Hearst will try to smear Oakley's reputation, even hiring a detective to travel to Greenville, Ohio and dig up dirt about her. But there is nothing to find, and Oakley will end up winning or settling 54 of her suits. She will collect awards ranging from $900 to $27,500, but ends up losing money when legal and other expenses are factored in.
Oakley, who has been appearing in various shooting events, learns that her mother has died and returns to Ohio.
Oakley pays a visit to Cody's Wild West, then performing at Madison Square Garden. Buffalo Bill asks her to return to the show, but she declines.
Oakley joins a rival show called Young Buffalo Wild West and performs with it for the next two years. Although now over 50, she keeps up with the show's grueling pace, traveling more than 8,000 miles in one 27-week span.
Annie Oakley's career in Wild West shows comes to an end -- she retires after a performance in Marion, Illinois, and moves with Butler to a waterfront cottage near Cambridge, Maryland. Meanwhile, Cody has gone bankrupt, and a creditor sells off the show's memorabilia.
The Butlers embark on an automobile road trip and visit Buffalo Bill, who is now in failing health. The Butlers decide to winter in Pinehurst, North Carolina, where Oakley gives lessons to women who want to learn shooting.
Buffalo Bill Cody dies in Denver, Colorado. Neither of the Butlers attends the funeral, but Oakley composes a eulogy for her old friend that runs in several newspapers. In it she calls Cody "the kindest, simplest, most loyal man I ever knew... the personification of those sturdy and lovable qualities that really made the West."
The United States enters World War I. Oakley soon telegraphs the secretary of war, offering to raise a "regiment of women" to join the fight, but the government does not reply. Oakley ends up giving shooting demonstrations to raise money at various army camps around the country.
World War I ends in Allied victory -- Oakley joins the celebration at Pinehurst.
Oakley appears at a charity event on Long Island to benefit wounded soldiers. Although a bit out of practice, she still dazzles the crowd with her shooting abilities.
A car accident in Florida fractures Oakley's hip and right ankle -- for the rest of her life, she will walk with a leg brace.
The Butlers move to Dayton, Ohio.
Famed cowboy and humorist Will Rogers visits Oakley and later writes a glowing tribute to her in his Sunday newspaper column.
In failing health, Oakley moves back to Darke County.
Oakley dies in Greenville, Ohio -- her husband of 50 years will pass away just 18 days later.
The first film version of Oakley's life, the movie Annie Oakley starring Barbara Stanwyck, debuts.
Rogers and Hammerstein's musical Annie Get Your Gun opens in New York with renowned singer Ethel Merman in the title role. The show will later be made into a film, and a TV series called Annie Oakley will run from 1954 to 1957.

MARION Bartoli's Wimbledon victory has reignited a gender war in world-class sport.
The first incident came after the Frenchwoman seized the Women's Final title from Germany's Sabine Lisicki.
BBC commentator John Inverdale casually told listeners on live radio: "Do you think Bartoli's dad told her when she was little, you're never going to be a looker, you'll never be a Sharapova, so you have to be scrappy and fight?''.
When asked about the comments in an interview, Bartoli graciously said" "I am not blonde, yes. That is a fact. Have I dreamt about having a model contract? No. I'm sorry."
"But have I dreamed about winning Wimbledon? Absolutely, yes. And to share this moment with my dad was absolutely amazing and I am so proud of it."
Inverdale attempted to clarify the comment the next day and apologised to Bartoli, but the damage was done and social media was ablaze with outrage.
But the vitriol wasn't merely directed at Inverdale. Bartoli was subjected to a torrent of abusive tweets from young men labelling her "fat" and "ugly".
BBC apologises after presenter says Bartoli 'not a looker'
Murray takes shot at TV presenter
Roxy video dubbed 'sexploitation'
Among the number of disgusting insults was one that said "Bartoli didn't deserve to win because she is ugly".
Then came the second insult. Following the Men's Final, headlines across UK press splashed with Andy Murray being the first Briton to win Wimbledon in 77 years.
That is, unless you count Britain's Virginia Wade who won the Wimbledon women's singles title in 1977. But apparently not a lot do and her victory was virtually erased from history.
The vilifying of Bartoli came as another sexism storm was unfolding over a promotional video for the Roxy Pro Biarritz 2013 which was labelled 'sexploitation' by critics.
Are female athletes judged more on their appearance than their ability? Take our poll or leave a comment below.
The voyeuristic promotional video, which reduces a young female surfer to a body without a head, is thought to feature Australia' five-time world champion surfer Stephanie Gilmore or South African professional surfer Rosy Hodge.
The video was labelled softcore porn, or more suitable as a lingerie ad, for the way the camera pans across the young female surfer as she's clad only in underpants, and then has a shower.
In a statement surfwear company Roxy said "women are complex and multi-dimensional. To ignore this fact is to ignore who we truly are."
Women in sport are no strangers to sexism. It has been going on for years and continues seemingly unabated today.
Marion Bartoli's coach Amelie Mauresmo - a former Wimbledon and Australian Open winner - endured jibes about her muscular physique throughout her playing career.
The tall, athletic Frenchwoman had previously said many of the taunts came from fellow players. American Lindsay Davenport, after being knocked out of the Australian Open in 1999, said playing Mauresmo was like "playing a guy''.
And Swiss player Martina Hingis was even more brutal: "She is half a man'' she told a contingency of media.
Away from the tennis court, Australian swimmer Leisel Jones's body shape came under public scrutiny during the 2012 Olympics. Jones - who was in her fourth Olympics, unprecedented for an Australian swimmer - was judged as out of shape after a bulge emerged from her swimsuit.
But actions speak louder than words, with Jones going on to win her ninth Olympic medal in London.
English weightlifter Zoe Smith copped a mouthful from tweeters telling her she looked like a "bloke" and a "lesbian". She went on to break the British record for 'clean and jerk' lifting, lifting twice her body weight.
US gymnast Gabby Douglas was bizarrely criticised because of her hair style. That's right - her hair! She took home a gold medal in both team and individual events.
And Jessica Ennis, one of Britain's standout track and field stars at the London Olympics, was allegedly told by an unnamed official before the Games that she was "fat''.
Australian Womensport and Recreation Association president Janice Crosswhite called for an end to the discrimination.
"You wish they would just stop but they keep happening," she told News Limited.
"We deplore these ongoing type of comments. We want women to be recognised for their talent and the strength of their performance."
Ms Crosswhite attributed the ongoing bias to archaic attitudes that have failed to move with the times.
"As long as organisations like ours continue to speak out society's values will gradually continue to change," she said.
"It's just attitudes are the hardest thing to change."
She expressed concern about the negative impact on young women but said the range of female role models in sport offered hope.
"We want a range of role models in sport, we don't want all players to be Sharapova lookalikes," she said.
"We want a range of women - skinny and fat, short and tall and brown and blonde."

Described in the journal Systemic Entomology, the new ladybug was crawling across a sand dune in southwest Montana when it dropped into a trap set by entomology grad student Ross Winton.
The ladybug was so small that Winton said he originally thought he had found the body part of an ant. Then he thought the insect was missing its head. He wasn't even sure at first that he had found a ladybug because the insect was tan instead of red and didn't have the spots normally associated with ladybugs.
Closer inspection proved the insect was a male Ladybird Beetle, and its head was attached after all, Winton said. It was just tucked inside a tube in its thorax, much like a turtle pulls its head back into its shell.
Since Winton didn't recognize the ladybug, he took it to Ivie who realized he had once seen a female of that type from Idaho, about 90 miles away from Winton's discovery. Ivie also knew that one of his Australian colleagues was revising the group, so he mailed Winton's ladybug to Canberra.
Winton soon learned that his ladybug -- now in pieces and still in Australia -- belongs to a group of beetles that's both familiar and well-known in this country. Known as Ladybird Beetles, the group contains some of the most bizarre, smallest and least recognizable ladybugs in existence, according to Hermes Escalona and Adam Slipinski who published the Systemic Entomology article.
Winton said, "This species and some of its sister species are some of the rarest mostly due to their size, collection frequency, techniques required to collect them and the fact that we know almost nothing about their biology (life cycle, where it lives, what it eats, etc)."
Ivie said Winton's discovery turned out to be the only male of a new species, otherwise known from a single female from just south of the Centennial Valley in Idaho. Since, in an interesting twist, males are required for the description of a new species of Ladybird Beetles, Ross' specimen became the unique single specimen upon which a species is based.
"Without that male specimen, the species could not have been described," Ivie said.
He added that, "The tiny species is known from only two individuals, one male and one female, making it qualify for the rarest species in the USA.
"The species is very unusual not only because of its small size, unique habitat and rarity, but the fact that its head is pulled back into a tube in its thorax makes its biology quite a mystery," Ivie said. "It was so unique that it was placed, along with another new species known from Baja California, in a new genus. While discovery of a new species of beetle in the USA is not an everyday event, a completely new genus is quite rare."
Ivie said he requested that his colleagues name the new ladybug "wintoni" after Winton, but Escalona and Slipinski eventually named it Allenius iviei. Ivie, who was Winton's adviser when Winton was studying for his master's degree, proposes that the common name be "Winton's Ladybird Beetle." He said Winton deserved the honor and noted that the find was a "stunning example of the contributions and discoveries made by student researchers at MSU.
"This was totally Ross' discovery," Ivie said. "He is the one who designed the study, placed the traps, sorted the materials and recognized that it was not sand - no small accomplishment when you consider the animal is the size and color of a grain of sand.
"Further, he is the one who recognized it as something unusual," Ivie said.
Ivie's colleague - University of Idaho entomologist James B. "Ding" Johnson -- said Winton's discovery is significant because, "Each new species discovered gives us more knowledge on the real biodiversity of the region, nation and world. They also fill in voids in our knowledge of the evolutionary tree of life. Gaps in the data inevitably lead to errors in our understanding. At the minimum, understanding the results of evolution gives us a better idea of the processes, and any discovery may open doors to novel insights.
"Beyond the intrinsic scientific merit of such an increase in knowledge, ladybugs have been used extensively in biological control of insect pests, and any improved understanding of their taxonomic and biological diversity may allow us to use them more effectively and safely," Johnson added.
As so often happens in science, Winton said his discovery was "totally random." He came across the ladybug in 2009 while researching the role of grazing and fire on the community dynamics of insects that live in the sand dunes on the north shore of Red Rocks Lake in Montana's Centennial Valley. Winton believes the one millimeter-long ladybug normally lived in plants, but happened to fall on the sand where it was caught.
Winton earned his bachelor's degree in wildlife management from MSU in 2005 and his master's degree in entomology in 2010. Now a senior wildlife technician with Idaho Fish and Game, Winton said he mostly works with big game and wildlife habitat these days, but he still remembers what it took to trap the rare ladybug.
He started by diving into recycling bins around Bozeman and visiting Lehrkind's Coca-Cola Bottling Company to collect enough two-liter plastic bottles for his study. He then cut the bottles off at the shoulder and placed the resulting funnel into the bottom piece, creating traps that would funnel insects into preservative at the bottom. Ross then hauled the traps to Beaverhead County where he buried them up to their edge in the sand dunes, creating a pitfall that trapped insects as they crawled across the sand.
Winton returned every week or so, camping gear in tow, to empty and rebury the traps. If he was in a hurry or happened to be there during a full moon, he could work all night and finish his work in 1 ˝ to two days, Winton said.
The traps worked well, but animals and fire sometimes interfered, Winton said. Coyote pups would dig up the bottles and play with them like chew toys. An unexpected controlled burn to remove unwanted vegetation from the sand dunes once caused half the bottles to curl in on themselves. Fortunately, the bottles became like plastic balloons around the insects.
"It was pretty handy," Winton said.
