|Excerpts from the Narrative of Jesse Cox
|Excerpts from a diary, 1834-1865, and memoir of early life, written by Jesse Cox (1793-1879), a Primitive Baptist minister and resident of Williamson County, Tennessee. He describes the hardships of life as an itinerant preacher, some religious controversies with other denominations, and his experiences during the Civil War years as an ardent supporter of the Confederacy.
|Historical note
|For Jesse Cox the war came, quite literally, to his front lawn. He had several suspenseful confrontations with Yankee troops, and saw much of his crops and property stolen by both sides. Cox also recorded that at some of his congregations, there were substantial numbers of Unionists or anti-Confederates, who in some cases left because of Cox's pro-Confederate stance.
|Cox, Jesse, 1793-1879
|Williamson County (Tenn.)

In week days, as well as Sundays, by all denominations, although the spirit of religion is less universal and no additions, on accoun of the death of the two witness which took place in July last according to my calculation, and observation.

Said Lord have mercy on my soul and boddy, for I will have no papa nor mama neither . he said mama cant you stay with me.

After some time breathing verry hard and her eyes closed, and I thought insensible to every thing. She said Father why can't I go (speaking so as to be heard all over the room) I said you must fill up the measure of the suffering of the boddy of Christ, and in five minut she breatheed her last. One minute before she closed her mouth smiled and raised her hand. And entered into that rest that remains to the people of God. At fifteen minutes before seven of the clock on the 23 of August 1863.

A large company of nabours being present, they have ben verry kind to us during her 14 months of sickness and great suffering. Which she bore with more patience than any person I ever saw, for which I desire to thank God, and them for their kindness. She remaind concious to the last moment, and intirely calm and serene without the least being excited. I have not kept up my naritive daly, but nothin verry particular has transpired. The weather has been verry dry through August, and most of September. On the second Sunday in September I rode to Cool Spring and preached to a very large congn. I preached upon the seting up of the kingdom of Christ. I had liberty, and good attention, returned. On Monday I rode to Wilsons, and Payners, and returned. On the third Sunday I was taken sick and was quite sick all the week, but on Sunday morning I was better and drove 12 miles to Colege Grove and preached to an unusual large, and attentive congn.

I had such a fever that I slept none all night. Monday drove to Clem Jordans to dinner, and then home allmost exhausted." [Page 507 (544)] "I continued to get wors all the week untill I was verry bad with pain in my head and eyes als a bad cough. The next week I mended October 1st gradually untill Sunday, and though I had scarcely been out of the house for two weeks. I rode to Cool Spring and preached to large and attentive congn. I finished on the subject of the Kingdom of Christ and then returned very tired in deed. On Monday I expected to be wors, but thanks to the Lord I am not. The Yankies has not been here since June, But about the third Sunday September Rosecrans and Bragg fought some four days and Bragg whiped him verry badly drove him back 15 miles.

Bragg lost one thousand killed and two thousand wounded with four thousand prisoners. What a dark and gloomy time, and the loss of life and treasure, but we must receive it as a chastisement from God. 24th. Today two Yankey soldiers came here for the first since June thank the Lord for guardin us thus far, and our fervant prayer is that he will continue his protection." [Page 508 (545)] "This bring me to the close of the year 1863. Having rode187 miles, and preached. Sermons 14 | Heard sermons one Funerals 1 | Exhortations none Sacraments none | Ordained none Baptised none | I have rode less and preached less than any year since I have been preaching having been confined nearly all the year by the Yankies, who forbid me going from home, and by sickness myself and family. But my health is better now than it has been for three winters. But what preaching I done was better received, and larger congn than usual. I desire to thank the Lord for such tokens of divine favour for while many may all my breathern in the ministry that live near have been banished from thair homes and propert, and the citizens have all taken the oath, I have still escaped and permited to remain at home untill now. My dependence is entirely upon the Lord to direct me right through this year, and in this dark and trying hour. January 1st 1864. Today verry cold turned cold last evening and hailed, and then snowed and remained very cold for two weeks. Then we had a week of pleasent weather. Then again a weeak of very cold. February 2nd. My servants all left today 3 young men and two women and child, and went to the Yankies. On the 7th some person broke down my stable door and took two horses and rode them off. 16th. Tonight a party of Fed Soldiers came and searched the hosue over twice, stoled a good many things and left. 20th. Today I was compelled to tak the oath of allegence or be driven off and loose my home. Being the only man in the county but what had taken an oath. If I have done wrong I pray God to forgive me. The weather has been very cold for a week." [Page 508 (546)] "February 24th 1864. We had some good weather for some days. 29th. Today rained and hailed, and then snowed so as to brake down abundance of timber. March 5th. Tonight came a gang of Yankey soldiers and threatened to shoot us. Broke down the meet house door and took 22 hams and shoulders. How long O Lord will though suffer me to be thus tried, and tempted by such out laws, pray the to give grace to bair it with patience. About the first of the month they fought in East Tenn, Florida, at Dothan Georgia, and Missis in which the rebels reputed them at each place. 7th we had rain and thunder. 9th. Tonight came and took all our fouls but three. 13th To Cool Spring the congn. large and attentive. I have a very bad cough.

The weather has been cold and cloudy all this month the most bacward Spring I ever saw. The trees hardly shows any buds yet. I still have a destressing cough. I continued to preach regulary during the balance of this year to verry large and attentive congregations more so than usual. But I became so nervas, and having to labour for support that I have not kept up my regular record, wich I very much regret. I am compelled to labour as I lost about eight thousand dolars worth of property by the Yankeys, for wich I have never received any compensation. But I try to submit to it cheerfully seeing that it is the will of God that it should be so. I preached five times in the Presbyterian Church in Franklin by their request, and they wished me to continue regular which I could not do on account of other engagements." [Page 509 (547)] January 1st 1865. The war being over this year the South being overturned have to submit to every thing. They lost thair caus by being divided among themselves and many going over to the North, and the Yankies geting Troops from all other nations. Lee surendred to Grant on the 9th of April 65 which they never would have done if they had been united. And of had none but the North to fight. By such men we have lost our property and our liberty. I am undetaking to make a crop by myself this year so I canot travel far during crop time having only one blind mair to do it with. I am preachin round by invitation in the houses of all denominations at Duglasses, Tompsons Station, in Spring hill, at the Brick Church, at the Presbyterian Church and west Harpeth at Mcays several times, at Buchannons Schoolhouse, at Stockets, at Johnstans, at Bell view, at Colage Grove and at Eagleville, also Chappel Hill. To large and respectable and interested congn. beside preachin regular for Cool Spring and Providence. In September Bro Hix sent a buggy to Mr. Pettis and carried me to his house on Thursday night, on Friday at Flat Creek and at night in Lynchburg. Saturday morning to the Elk river Association at Mount Mariah. Bro Wagner preached the introductory, then Bro West , and Bro Millhouse, I preached at night at Bro Holemans. On Sunday the congn. the largest I ever saw at an Association an twenty five preachers, Bro West preached then Bunyan Stevans. I preached last the congn. very attentive and feeling, Stevens preached at Holemans at night, on Monday Emmons, and then Been preached, Then I preached the last sermon by request from the congn. through the Association, at the close thair was great feeling from which a revival took place which has aded forty to the church. We ten went to Bro Greens, and on Tuesday Bro Forest and myself preached two funerals at county line and although it rained the congn. was very large. We then went to Bro Hicks, and next day he sent me to Bro. Pettises, and next morning I returned home. I preached round during the fall, having traveled and preached more than I did last year, for this is the first Association that I have been to since the war commenced. And feel greatly revived in being presented to meet the Breathren again. And receive so many tokens of approbation and fellowship both from God and the Breathern."

With 10 picks this draft I'm thinking we could really use a dominant place kicker that can boot it deep inyo the endzone on every kick off in addition to being a stud foeld goal kicker.
The only problem is I have no idea if there is a guy like that in this upcoming class.
Edit for spelling: can't see the entire screen on cell. Sorry.

A look back at the year in sports.
The United States Olympic Team wins the most medals and gold medals in London. Michael Phelps becomes the all-time medal winner. Misty May and Kerri Walsh win for the third Olympics in a row. The U.S. Women's Gymnastics team captures the Gold Medal and Gabby Douglas wins the all-around title.
Kentucky wins the NCAA title for the eighth time. Several players from the Wildcats team will go to play in the NBA.
LeBron James wins his first NBA Championship as the Miami Heat defeat the young and talented Oklahoma City Thunder.
Bubba Watson wins the Masters. Bubba is self-taught golfer who never had a golf lesson. Rory Mcilroy will be the 2012 PGA player of the year.
Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers wins the Triple Crown (home runs, batting average, runs batted In) in the American League. He is the first winner since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
Johnny Manzeil, a redshirt freshman, wins the Heisman trophy and puts up big numbers for Texas A&M. The Aggies' first year in the SEC will be remarkably successful including a win over then No. 1-rated Alabama.
Notre Dame, the traditional power, returns to the top of the rankings and will play for the national championship against Alabama. The BCS still will have a mythical champion because Ohio State is on probation will be the only undefeated team if Alabama wins the title game.
In the NFL, the Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons are having exceptionally good seasons for teams that have not been traditional powerhouses in pro football. Peyton Manning has had a terrific come back season, and should win the comeback player of the year award.

GAME ONE BOX SCORE (.html) | GAME ONE BOX SCORE (.pdf)
GAME TWO BOX SCORE (.html) | GAME TWO BOX SCORE (.pdf)
NEW YORK – The Columbia softball team played its final two home games against Ivy League South Division leaders Penn and earned a hard-fought split. The Lions (22-24, 8-10) claimed game one, 8-6, before falling in game two by a 6-2 count.
Columbia will finish up the series and season at Penn on Saturday, April 27, for a doubleheader beginning at 12:30 p.m.
Game One
Columbia 8, Penn 6
First-year Macy Shrum belted a solo homer in the bottom of the second only to see the Quakers (28-17, 14-4) even things up in the top of the third.
A leadoff walk and a sacrifice bunt moved pinch-runner Kanani Datan into scoring position to turn over the batting over for leadoff hitter Sydney Turchin. Turchin snuck a single through the left side of the infield to make it 1-1.
The Lions went right back to work in the bottom of the third with Alyssa Swearingen and Emily Caruthers starting things off with singles. Emily Snodgrass followed with a double that glanced off the wall in leftfield to put Columbia back on top, 3-1. With two outs and Snodgrass on third, Shrum hit a ball with a check swing that stayed just fair along the third base line for an RBI hit to extend the margin to three.
Penn recorded one run in the top of the fourth, but the Lions kept their foot on the gas to take a 6-2 lead in the bottom of the frame. Swearingen started another rally with a base-hit, stole second and came around after Caruthers poked one up the middle. Caruthers stole her second base of the game to move herself into scoring position and scored after a throwing error on the Quakers.
In the sixth, Jess Melendez went deep to pull Penn within three, but Columbia had an answer once again when it was their turn to bat.
Sophomore Liz Caggiano hit her first long-ball of the year to begin the inning and the Lions were just getting started. After Caruthers reached on an error, Snodgrass singled and Alix Cook notched a hit to bring the lead to 8-3.
However, Penn refused to go quietly in the top of the seventh. Kayla Dahlerbruch belted a three-run homer to pull the Quakers with two outs, and Melendez singled to bring the tying run to the plate. Sophomore Brooke Darling finally put an end to the doubt by getting a groundout to end the ballgame.
First-year Emily Kenyon earned her 10th win of the season, allowing three runs with six strikeouts in 5.1 innings. Darling recorded the final five outs to earn the save after entering the contest with the score, 6-3.
Caruthers was 2-for-4 with two steals and three runs. Snodgrass, Swearingen and Shrum all notched two hits in the game as well.
Game Two
Columbia 2, Penn 6
Game two was scoreless until the fourth inning when Dahlerbruch and Georgia Guttaduaro each posted RBI singles for Penn.
In the bottom of the fourth, Nicole Borchard reached via a single and later scored on an RBI double by Morgan Cook. Caggiano then picked up where she left off in the opener, driving in Cook with a single to tie the game, 2-2.
A pair of errors by the Lions proved costly in the sixth inning, allowing the go-ahead run to score. Guttadauro put the finishing touches on the win with a three-run shot in the seventh to extend the lead to 6-2.
Morgan Cook and Caggiano were both 2-for-3 in the nightcap. Borchard was 2-for-4 from the dish.
Darling took the decision (10-10), tossing seven innings and giving up five earned runs with four strikeouts.

In a game that was closer than many people might have expected, the Pratt Community College men's basketball team downed the Sterling College Warriors JV 87-78 Tuesday at the Beaver Dome.
In a game that was closer than many people might have expected, the Pratt Community College men's basketball team downed the Sterling College Warriors JV 87-78 Tuesday at the Beaver Dome.
Although leading comfortably at halftime and by as many as 17 early in the second half, the Beavers allowed the scrappy Warriors back into the game. Sterling closed to within 3 with under two minutes to play before finally falling to the Beavers by 9.
In the early going, PCC head coach Jesse Shaw ran waves of Beavers at the Warriors, substituting 5 for 5 several times as Pratt played a full-court pressure, up-tempo style to take advantage of their superior athleticism. Sterling was able to keep from being totally run out of the gym by virtue of hitting 3s at key times, but even so, PCC had opened a 23-17 advantage at the 11:00 mark.
The two teams traded buckets over the next several minutes until a steal, drive and thunderous jam by Aaron Abram and a pair of hoops by Kazmere Boyd helped the Beavers opened a double-digit lead, 36-26 with 5 minutes left. At halftime, the score stood 46-35, the Beavers offense showing good balanced scoring over the final minutes of the half.
PCC came out of the second half gate hot: Big man Lucas Stivrins scored a pair of buckets in the paint, Boyd had a slam dunk in transition, Sean Michaelson buried a three and Abram converted an old-school 3-point play. It was 58-41 Pratt at the 16:00 mark and it appeared the Beavers would be able to coast to an easy win.
The teams traded hoops for 3 or 4 minutes, 64-47 at 12:43. Then, somebody put a lid on PCC's basket. They would go scoreless over the next 5 minutes, letting Sterling back into the game at 64-57 at the 8 minute mark. The Warriors had been hitting from outside all night, outscoring PCC 33-9 from 3-point land on the evening. Several shots from behind the arc at this time allowed them to continue chipping away at the PCC lead even though the Beavers had found some offense again. At 5:36 Sterling was down by only a pair at 69-67.
Aaron Abram then virtually put PCC on his back, scoring 9 of his team-high 17 points over the next few minutes to halt the Beavers' slide and rebuild a 80-71 lead with 2 minutes to go. The Sterlings had one last gasp in them as more deadly outside shooting let them close to within 3 at 81-78. Over the final 1:30, Pratt held Sterling scoreless while DeShun Roberts and Ralph Abraham scored 6 points between them to hold off the determined Warriors, 87-78.
6-2 PCC plays this coming weekend in the Coffeyville Tournament.
Pratt 46 41 87
Sterling 35 43 78
Stivrins 6-0-2/4-14; Abram 6-1-2/3-17; Flynn 2-0-1/3-5; Rogers 4-0-3/4-11; Boyd 5-0-3/6-13; Michaelson 0-1-0-3; Abraham 4-1-1/2-12; Roberts 2-0-4/6-8; Hellman 1-0-2/4-4

After graduating summa cum laude with a B.S. in biology from Alabama A&M University, Tyesha Farmer came to UAB's Interdisciplinary Genetics Graduate Program. When asked what made her choose UAB for graduate studies, Tyesha explained, "In 1998, I participated in a summer research internship program at UAB for high school students from rural Alabama. This experience introduced me to the human genome project, led to my first publication, and was the spark in my unwavering curiosity for human genetics. When I began to look into graduate programs in 2003, my mentor from my summer internship, Dr. Susan Sell, informed me about the development of a new graduate program in Genetics at UAB, which would be a product of the merger between the Department of Genetics and the Department of Genomics and Pathobiology. Based on my previous summer internship, I knew that UAB would offer a dynamic experience in an environment that would foster and encourage interdisciplinary research. With the development of a new Genetics Department and graduate program, I knew it was an exciting time to be a part of the UAB research community. Although UAB is a relatively young institution, it is one of the top NIH-funded institutions in a time when funding is at an all time low. The fact that UAB is only a 1.5 hour drive from my hometown was also a plus."
Tyesha's research involves breast cancer. She says that although Caucasian-American women have a higher incidence of breast cancer overall, African-American women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 50. She adds, "Breast cancer in African-American women also tends to be more aggressive and as a consequence, African-American women have had historically poorer outcomes due to this disease. These disparities persist when controlling for environmental confounders. My project seeks to identify genomic markers of aggressive breast cancer by analyzing the spectrum of genomic aberrations (gains and deletions) in breast tumors from young African-American and Caucasian-American women. Identification of these candidate loci may lead to a better understanding of the genetic links to ethnic/racial health disparities in breast cancer."
The following is a list of the many awards and honors Tyesha has received:
-NIH National Research Service Award Predoctoral Fellowship
-Charles Barkley Young Investigator Award
-Minority Trainee Research Forum "Acres of Diamonds" Award
-Cancer Prevention and Control Training Program Fellowship
-Amgen Minority and Indigenous Fellow Award
-American Association for Cancer Research Minority Scholar Award (2006 and 2007)
-Comprehensive Minority Faculty-Student Development Fellowship Award
-National Science Foundation Science and Engineering Fellowship Honorable Mention
Remaining motivated while in graduate school can be difficult, but Tyesha receives support from her family. "My motivation, outside of a general curiosity for understanding the unknown, is my family. I grew up in one of the poorest counties in the United States, and my family was even poorer still. My dad never finished high school, but he taught me how to read when I was only 2 years old. Instead of allowing it to be a limitation, I learned at an early age to use circumstance as a driving force to pursue my dreams. My family is so supportive of what I am doing even though they don't quite understand what kind of "doctor" I'm studying to become. Their support is what has kept me motivated to work hard and continue toward my goals despite adversity."
Her motivation also comes from her primary advisor, Dr. Theresa Strong. "She has been a firm but understanding and supportive mentor. Her door is always open to impromptu questions and conversations. She is actively involved in and genuinely concerned about my graduate training and development. Most importantly, Theresa is very good at helping me to keep things in perspective, whether in regards to my dissertation project or my career aspirations. Her mentoring style has also helped me to refine my own."
After her expected graduation in Fall 2008, Tyesha plans to pursue post-doctoral research training, specifically exploring opportunities at the National Institutes of Health. Her plans for the future include leading a research lab that focuses on understanding the role of genetics and the environment in cancer health disparities. She also wants to become involved in the development of government policies aimed at eradicating health disparities in the U.S.
Tyesha's advice for other graduate students:
"Set small benchmarks for yourself so that you don't become overwhelmed by the big picture."

Are you hungry for a musical comedy with a lot of bite? Look no further than the Oak Ridge Playhouse, where a giant cabbage is chewing up the scenery (and the bystanders).
Are you hungry for a musical comedy with a lot of bite? Look no further than the Oak Ridge Playhouse, where a giant cabbage is chewing up the scenery (and the bystanders).
Yes, it is silly season at the Playhouse what with its season-ending run of "Little Shop of Horrors," a classic of camp comedy with book, lyrics and music by Oscar-nominated Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. Before it was a musical, it was a Roger Corman film with screenplay by Charles Griffith. During the play's many mutations, a tiny potted plant was waiting to grow into a full stage monster. The fun comes from watching it grow and its insatiable appetite for human flesh. Bet you cannot wait to see its Venus Flytrap mouth talk trash and catch victims.
We understand Director Reggie Law welcomed the challenge of creating the puppets that represent the four growth spurts of the plant. With volunteer help from a dozen or more people, the task was completed (or exhausted). We have to say the plant, which only the creators could love, is a tour de force. Add one more innovative feather to Law's crowded cap.
In combination, the plant's presence and voice are hilarious. Dann Black's voice is perfection personified, whether in song, jive talk or yelling "FEED ME!" And what can you say about Adam Bell's manipulations, except WOW! Much care is taken with all physical aspects. We salute Law, Camden Simon, Sandra Herrera, Virginia Baldwin, Kendel Overholt, David Zannucci, and Alison Ulino.
Score still another win for the casting. Bleu Copas illuminates his character in ceaselessly compelling ways. He is Seymour, a simpleton who works in a rundown flower shop down on Skid Row "where the rainbow's a no show." He develops a prize plant that becomes a blood-seeking person eater. As the plant gets hungrier, Seymour gets more discombobulated. That coupled with his big crush on his work partner (Audrey) keeps him in an emotive frenzy. Copas completely disappears into his character, and with a great voice for his songs he can't miss.
Anna McCoig also embodies the role of Audrey (a cross between Blondie and Marilyn Monroe). Her innocence, her beauty and her good voice all conspired to allure. Her song "Somewhere that's Green" was particularly lovely. Matt Koehler returned for a tremendously deserved stage call, but he played a multitude of roles from an Elvis-like dentist to a female CEO. It is amazing what wigs, makeup and costumes can do, but even more amazing was the versatility of Koehler's acting.
Mushnik, the beleaguered owner of the struggling flower shop, has no use for his two employees until Seymour's rare plant (named Audrey II) becomes the envy of all florists. When Mushnik looks at the novel plant, he sees only dollar bills. Jeff Bell captures well the greed and fickleness of Mushnik.
Three singing narrators sound like angels even when their songs are more Motown inspired than heaven inspired. There are a lot of winning songs in Menken's score from do-wops to sentimental love songs. This treble trio of outstanding singers has the bulk of them. One will never know where they might pop up on the stage, but wherever they light, the harmony blend is wonderful. Take a deep bow Shane Harris, Jessica Magers-Rankin and Alexis Tidwell.
Though never seen, the band (Barry Wallace, Sheryl Lawrence Howard, Tony Mendez, Michael Vaughn and Brandon Shelby) rocked with musical momentum — from tender keyboard beauty to rip-roaring tanginess. Applaud!
Is "Little Shop of Horrors" grossly dark? Yes, but in such a silly way it is very funny. Is Skid Row depressing? Nah, and the stage set is very good! Are we recommending "Little Shop of Horrors"? You bet, but you may want to cancel your dentist appointment. That reminds us to thank the Hardin Valley Orthodontics for presenting the play.
Becky Ball is a reviewer for The Oak Ridger.

AURORA - When Byron couldn't make a shot, Ellie Lehne erased Prophetstown shots. But after the Tigers finally got up, they couldn't get the whistle they needed to erase center Claire Kramer's winning layup.
"I was worried that I lost the ball; thankfully I got it back and stuck it out," Kramer said after scoring with four seconds left to lift Prophetstown past Byron 55-53 Thursday in the Class 2A girls basketball sectional finals. "I tried to jump as high as I could. Best feeling ever."
Lehne (18 points, 14 rebounds and eight blocked shots) raced over to try and help out but couldn't get there in time. Kramer, though, shuffled her feet when she bobbled the ball, but Byron didn't get the traveling call it needed.
"They didn't call it, so it's not a travel," Byron coach Eric Yerly said. "We knew they were going to put their head down and drive. We wanted to make them shoot from outside, but (Kramer) shot the gap.
"Extra step or not, she got through. Ellie came over, but she got it over her. Give their girl credit; she made the play to get them to the Elite Eight."
Byron shot 6-for-21 in the first half and fell behind by as many as 13 points before going on an 18-4 run to take a 41-40 lead with six minutes to play. But Prophetstown (29-2) then found ways to elude the 6-foot-2 Lehne, who had all eight of her blocks in the first three quarters.
"She is an incredible player," Kramer (16 points) said. "We had to create some moves, but we finally got around her."
Byron (29-4) led twice in the fourth quarter, but the Prophets scored on nine of their last 10 possessions. On the one exception �- Keelyn Swanson got her fifth steal, from Heather Strike - Strike hustled downcourt and stole the ball back to set up Kramer's winning layup.
"It's hard," Byron freshman Lexi DeVries (12 points) said. "We came back and never gave up, but in the end they scored one more basket than us."
Mayson Whipple scored 13 of her 16 points in the second half to fuel Byron's comeback, but the Tigers said they made it harder on themselves than they should have by falling so far behind. Karlie Stafford led Prophetstown with 19 points, most of them on layups as the Prophets had 17 assists on 21 baskets.
"In our last game, we won by 30 and played the best game we ever played, and then we come out today and just weren't ready," Whipple said.
"It just stinks, especially being the only senior on the team. I will never play a high school basketball game again. Especially losing like that."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. – Junior Fred Saba gave the eighth-ranked Duke men's tennis team a 3-2 team advantage after defeating No. 1 Alex Domijan, 7-5, 7-5, but the Blue Devils upset bid of top-ranked Virginia came up just short, 4-3, Friday afternoon at the Snyder Tennis Center. The Blue Devils fall to 14-4 overall and 2-1 in conference play, while the Cavaliers improve to 12-0 on the season and 1-0 in ACC play.
"Obviously, we are disappointed that we weren't able to get the team win today," said head coach Ramsey Smith. "We played great in a few spots and had our shots in others. Credit Virginia for closing us out at the end. I am proud of the way we competed at the end, and there are certainly some positives we can take from this match."
Duke dropped the doubles point for the third time this season, as the team now is 15-3 in capturing the opening point on the year. In a match that featured the two top doubles tandems in the country, the top-ranked duo of senior Henrique Cunha and Raphael Hemmeler bested the No. 2 tandem of Jamere Jenkins and Mac Styslinger, 8-3, at the No. 1 position to win the first doubles match of the afternoon. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers responded by taking the doubles match at the second position, as Alex Domijan and Mitchell Frank defeated the Duke duo of Michael Redlicki and Jason Tahir, 8-3.
In the deciding match on court three, the duo of Justin Shane and Julen Uriguen clinched the opening point for the Cavaliers over the 25th-ranked tandem of Saba and Chris Mengel. The loss for Saba and Mengel is the duo's third defeat this season, as they own an 18-5 record on the spring.
In singles, the Cavaliers claimed a 2-0 advantage in the match after Virginia's Frank defeated Redlicki at the No. 3 spot in the lineup, 6-0, 6-0. Duke won its first singles match and earned its first team point of the afternoon at the No. 5 position, as Hemmeler topped Justin Shane in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. The win for Hemmeler is his team-leading 25th victory of the season, including a 15-2 record in the dual season.
The Blue Devils claimed the next two matches to take a 3-2 advantage in the match, after wins from the two top positions in the lineup. At the top spot, Cunha edged fifth-ranked Jenkins in the first set, 6-4, before cruising in the second frame to win the match, 6-4, 6-0. Cunha remains perfect on the season with an 11-0 record at the No. 1 position.
"Cunha continues to have an amazing senior season," Smith said. "Jenkins has given him trouble in the past but Henrique executed his game plan perfectly today and competed like a champ."
A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Saba gave Duke its first lead of the day at the No.2 position after he topped top-ranked Domijan, 7-5, 7-5. The win for Saba is his third over a ranked opponent on the season and the first top-five opponent he has defeated in the spring.
"Obviously, it was the biggest win of my college career," said Saba after his win over Domijan. "It is not just one match, it has just been a long process in terms of me working harder off the courts to be more mentally stable. Today it all came together and I played a pretty clean match out there."
Virginia responded by taking the final two matches of the afternoon at the fourth and sixth positions. On court four, after dropping the first set to No. 12 Styslinger, 1-6, Mengel came back strong in the second, but fell just short of sending his match to a decisive third set, falling, 6-1, 7-6 (7). The decisive match of the day was featured on court six, as Tahir battled Uriguen. A native of Rochester, N.Y., Tahir was edged in his tightly contested match by Uriguen, 7-6 (6), 6-4, which sealed the team win for the Cavaliers. The loss for Tahir marks his first of the dual season, as the sophomore falls to 12-1 in the dual season.
Duke will next take to the courts against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., Sunday, March 24 at 1 p.m., before coming home to take on Florida State Saturday, March 30 at 11 a.m.

Ashley | Synthetic Wig (Mono Crown)
264.01 310.60
While average size wigs tend to fit about 95% of customers, you will find that quite a few wigs also come in petite and large sizes. Consider that many also have adjustable straps that give up to 1.5" so that you can achieve a comfortable and secure fit.

Jot down your measurement then consult the table below. Please note that sizes may vary slightly by brand and that not all wigs are available in all cap sizes.

Step 1: Detangle
Before you wash, make sure you carefully detangle the hair using a wide tooth comb. Start from ends and work toward the root to decrease shedding.
Step 2: Rinse
Use lukewarm water and rinse from roots to ends. Do not soak as this can lead to tangling. Tip: If your wig is curly, try leaving the hairnet on
Step 3: Shampoo
Loosen shampoo in your hands and work through the hair. Distribute a small amount of shampoo evenly throughout the hair. Tip: Use circular motions to clean the cap
Step 4: Condition
A) For synthetic hair: Spray leave-in conditioner from the mid-shaft to the ends. Tip: Avoid the root or knots B) For human hair: Leave in for a few minutes before rinsing. Do NOT apply conditioner to the root. Tip: If dry or damaged, use a deep conditioner
Step 5: Rinse
Let lukewarm water flow in the same direction of the hair to avoid tangling. Squeeze and press the hair; do NOT wring. Tip: Towel blot to remove excess water
Step 6: Dry
A) For synthetic hair: Air dry on a folding wig stand Tip: Gently part the hair with a comb before wig dries B) For human hair: Blow dry about 80% and then round brush until smooth

Situated at the confluence of the east and west branches of the Swift River in western Massachusetts, Enfield was the largest and southernmost of the four towns inundated in 1939 to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Incorporated as a town in 1816, Enfield was relatively prosperous in the nineteenth century on an economy based on agriculture and small-scale manufacturing, reaching a population of just over 1,000 by 1837. After thirty years of seeking a suitably large and reliable water supply for Boston, the state designated the Swift River Valley as the site for a new reservoir and with its population relocated, Enfield was officially disincorporated on April 28, 1938.
The records of the town of Enfield, Mass., document nearly the entire history of the largest of four towns inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. The core of the collection consists of records of town meetings and of the activities of the town Selectmen, 1804-1938, but there are substantial records for the Enfield Congregational Church. The School Committee, Overseers of the Poor, the town Library Association, and groups such as the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Bethel Masonic Lodge.

Huskers Compete at Track Kat Klash
The Nebraska bowling team finished fifth out of 16 teams at the Track Kat Klash in Huntsville, Texas, on Sunday. The Huskers finished the three-day event with a 10-3 overall record behind tournament champion and tournament host Sam Houston State.
Head Coach Bill Straub was impressed with the overall effort NU put forth during the tournament, gaining a lot of wins in a tough tournament.
"The postseason puts a lot of priority on the wins and losses," Straub said. "To leave this event with a lot of good teams participating with 10 wins out of 13 is a good weekend. I wish it was more, but it is nice to leave town with 10."
Sophomore Elise Bolton was the top finisher for the Huskers during the tournament, posting an average score of 204.6 per game. Bolton's performance ranked 14th out of 100 total bowlers. Senior Kristi Mickelson was the second overall for the Huskers, finishing 16th individually with an average score of 203.2 per game.

Today's Blind Items - Fan Favorites
#1- A new book is being talked about in publishing circles that will show for the first time ever the actual birth certificate of this child showing that his father is this former A list mostly television actor who has had the good fortune two star in two hit shows. Very different type shows.
#2 - A photo is for sale showing the husband of this A+ list mostly television actress from a hit network show making out with another man. It will be interesting to see if our actress ignores the photo or tries to buy it.
#3 - This former A list couple Skyped for an hour last week and made plans to hang out this week. In public. Together. There will be other people there, but apparently the hatchet has been buried. They both have moved on, but do like hanging out and also love f**king with the press.
