Fee Rates
The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate. Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028 - 66028.6 of the Education Code).
Systemwide Fee Rates
|Fee Rates by Academic Year

Systemwide Fee Rates are set by the Board of Trustees and are charged at the same rate per academic year at each CSU campus.
The current 2018-19 systemwide fee rates include the following information:
- Tuition Fees
- Doctorate Tuition Fees
- Professional Business Graduate Program
- Non-Resident | Determining California Residency
Effective January 2012 the term State University Fee was replaced by Tuition Fee. Prior year schedules have not been updated to reflect this change.

Whitlock v. Gladwell: The Future of College Football
I'm not certain what authority will be deciding whether or not college football should be banned. But the issue will be discussed on May 8 in NYC (that hotbed of college football). And Jason Whitlock will be among those opposing Malcolm Gladwell and his utopian vision and Buzz Bissinger, who believe that CFB should be banned.
Or do they? I thought I gleaned somewhere in Gladwell's comments that it would be okay to play CFB as long as the players got paid. And that's exactly what Whitlock is saying. However, as was pointed out on the last thread I posted, the players are compensated with a college education. But Whitlock says that's not enough.
I suspect that the level of discourse--and the intricacies of the subject--will not be explored as carefully and as passionately at this May 8 conference in NYC as they were in the thread here at MGoBlog( http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/malcolm-gladwell-why-college-football-should-be-outlawed).
Although, I must admit, the grammer police in that thread lost control; and it devolved into a grammar war, or, hopefully, a grammar spring. And I was as guilty as anyone.
Nonetheless, here is the link, and, of course, a synopsis of Mr. Whitlock's comments:
To shore up his defense, Whitlock also invokes America's free principles, which he feels encompass the "right to act dumb" in pursuit of athletic glory or even cash. What he can't stand is the bad faith of college leagues withholding pay from their risk-taking players. (It's "embarrassingly hypocritical," he grumbles.)

A little over a month ago, I picked up on the plight of KTRU 91.7 FM, Rice University's 50,000 watt student run radio station. According to savektru.org, Rice is attempting to sell the station's broadcast license to KUHF, the University of Houston's radio station and an NPR affiliate, for almost $10 million. The announcement has been met with serious criticism from KTRU staff, the Houston community, and even a group of University of Houston students and alumni. The sale has yet to be approved by the FCC, and the parties above are still fighting for KTRU to keep their frequency, but the situation looks dire.
Today, while browsing Facebook, I noticed a link to a page called "Save WRVU." WRVU 91.1 FM, which broadcasts at 10,000 watts, is another student run station based out of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Apparently, the non-profit of which WRVU is a part – Vanderbilt Student Communications, Inc. (VSC) – is looking to sell off the station's license, which could be worth up to $5 million. Not unlike the situation with KTRU, the response from the station's staff, alumni and the Nashville community has been overwhelmingly negative.
There are a number of issues worth discussing here, and now that the facts are on the table, I'm going to touch on as many issues as I can, using as few obscenities as possible (it's going to be tough, so forgive me if I slip up). First and foremost, this seems like an issue of money. Whereas I can only speculate that Rice is selling KTRU's frequency because they're greedy bastards* – no one in a position of power has stepped forward with a reason for the sale – VSC has been quite clear regarding their rationale. The chairman of the VSC, Mark Wollaeger, said this: "Currently, operating revenue for student media is mostly generated from print advertising whose future is less than certain. We want to explore whether a sale would help protect our students' future interests better." Yet, in both cases, I doubt very much that none but a few would benefit in any meaningful way from the sale of the frequencies. There certainly isn't a clear benefit to the Rice students – no one knows where the money would go, and the station itself would be forced to switch to an online-only format (I'll touch on this later). Vanderbilt makes the case that the sale would benefit all student media groups, but again, I have my doubts. Selling the 91.1 frequency takes something away from the staff at WRVU and the Nashville community at large, and offers little reassurance of the continued existence of WRVU, even online.
At this point, I think that it's worth asking what exactly losing a terrestrial broadcast frequency means these days, especially in the advent of internet radio. I work at a station that broadcasts at 10 watts (or, as we like to say, 10,000 milliwatts) and to us, internet broadcasts have become an invaluable way to let people listen in. KTRU and WRVU, on the other hand, have a much larger reach (~100 miles and 45 miles, respectively), which allows anyone in the surrounding area to listen in while they drive, at home on a radio, etc. And make no mistake, people still listen to their radios; according to Arbitron, as of 2004, 94.1% of the US population listens to radio every week, and spend 19 1/2 hours every week doing so. Radio technology is relatively cheap to own and maintain, and I would venture a guess that every single car in the United States has a working radio in it. Thus, the high wattage of both stations, the number of potential listeners and the high quality of both makes it likely that a lot of people are listening in on over the airwaves. For either station to lose their frequency would very probably result in a significant drop in listenership.
The argument above certainly doesn't speak to the value of stations with lesser wattage losing their licenses and moving to an online-only format. There are only 25 – twenty five – independently owned and operated radio stations in the United States. In addition, there are about 200 college stations, a small fraction of which are completely student run (which represents, I would argue, some manner of independence). By comparison, Clear Channel Communications owns and operates 900 stations in the United States, so what you hear on a Clear Channel station in Anchorage is going to be exactly the same as what you hear on one in Birmingham. Corporate radio is a bland wasteland, and since most radio stations in the United States are corporately owned, so too is, by extension, the American radio landscape. By selling off KTRU's and WRVU's frequency, Rice and Vanderbilt are doing nothing to improve this. Although neither can legally be acquired by Clear Channel or any of its ilk, the next likely candidate is NPR, which, like Clear Channel, is pretty much the same anywhere you go. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy NPR as much as the next soccer mom, but I do not think that Houston or Nashville needs another NPR affiliate, especially when the loss that would result in this gain is so great.
What Nashville and Houston really stand to lose, though, is not just independent radio, but local independent radio. Historically, independent and local radio have tended to go hand in hand; a station that focuses on community events and local artists is independent by virtue of the fact that their main concern is serving their community, not serving their own interests. Local corporate radio is an impossibility – corporate radio is interested in reaching as many people as possible, because higher ratings translate directly into more money from advertising. It follows, then, that a corporate radio entity will broadcast content that appeals to a broad audience; whether or not that content is local is moot. The rise of Internet radio offers a third option: non-local independent radio. With perhaps a few exceptions, local Internet radio does not exist, because Internet radio simply isn't tied to geography the same way that broadcast radio is. If Marshall McLuhan is to be believed, the medium cannot be separated from the message that it carries, and I think that this holds especially true in this case. Internet radio potentially allows anyone to broadcast great content from anywhere in the world, and this is a good thing. Yet, when I tune into a stream online, I don't get the same feeling as when I turn my radio dial to KWUR 90.3 or KDHX 88.1 in St. Louis. I can listen to anything online, but I can only hear those stations when I'm in St. Louis (or, in the case of KWUR, when I'm in my back yard). According to InsideVandy.com, the online outlet of Vanderbilt's student newspaper, Wollaeger said of the switch to an online format: "Our surveys indicate that each year fewer Vanderbilt students are listening to over-the-air radio. It is time to explore how WRVU could be transformed… in order to keep pace with the times and anticipate new developments." His statement misses the point entirely, and his metric – students who listen on-air – is misleading. The loss of KTRU and WRVU is a loss for the entire communities of Houston and Nashville, one that cannot be amended by a switch to online radio.
And so this isn't, or perhaps shouldn't be, an issue of money, but rather one of values. I value local, independent radio and the freedom of expression that it provides, and I'm sure that the staff at KTRU and WRVU do too. Rice and Vanderbilt do not, but they should. The sale of KTRU's and WRVU's broadcast licenses – or that of any local, independent radio station – is a nasty thing any way you look at it. Radio is, by and large, controlled by a few companies who don't give a fuck** about diverse opinions or interesting music, and taking away one of the few stations that does is shameful and truly reprehensible. If you feel the same way, visit the sites each station has set up to save their frequencies (listed above), and write a letter or sign a petition. Wherever you live, remember that when something like this happens, we all lose.
*I submit that this, by current FCC obscenity guidelines, is not obscene.
**Sorry, couldn't help it.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University softball team hosted Limestone College in a doubleheader that could have implications on Conference Carolinas seeding as the league wraps up regular season play in the coming weeks. Both games were close until the late innings when the Saints went ahead in the sixth inning of both games. Limestone took the first game 4-0 before the second game went to extra innings with Limestone taking a 2-1 victory for the sweep.
Both pitchers, Hannah Light for King and Kelly Shearer for Limestone matched each other pitch-for-pitch in both games as neither hurler allowed a base runner until one reached on an error in the second inning of game one.
In the third inning, both ninth hole hitters recorded their team's first hit. Limestone's Amanda Hayes recorded the game's first hit in the top of the frame, but was stranded by Light. Stephanie Rodriguez registered King's first hit, but she too was stranded.
The Tornado (24-24, 9-5 CC) threatened to take the lead in the fifth inning when Chrissy Melcher sparked a rally with a one-out single through the left side. Rodriguez followed with a single to left, but that was as far as the runner would get as Shearer got out of the jam.
The Saints (24-16, 8-4 CC) broke through in the sixth inning Hayes ignited the offense with a one-out triple to left center. Ashley Cox followed with a single to score her, and Sam Thornton laced a triple to center to make the score 2-0. A groundout made the score 3-0 going to the bottom of the inning.
King couldn't get the offense going against Shearer in the final two innings, and Limestone added a run in the seventh to take the contest 4-0. Light tossed all seven innings, allowing four runs on seven hits. Rodriguez led the offense, going 2-for-3.
The nightcap was played just as tight, with King getting the first scoring opportunity in the third inning. The Tornado runners on second and third, but couldn't get a timely hit to push them across. The Saints had their best scoring opportunity in the fifth inning, getting a pair of runners, but like Shearer, Light escaped the jam as well.
Just as they did in the first game, Limestone broke through in the sixth inning of game two. Bailie Maybry singled through the left side to start the frame before advancing to second on a foul out. She later scored on a fielding error to take a 1-0 lead.
King had answer this time, however as Cassie Ringstaff and Fallon Thomas started the next inning with ringing singles to right field to put runners on the corners. After Thomas stole second, Shearer uncorked a wild pitch, and Ringstaff broke for home. The Limestone catcher collected the rebound off of the brick backstop and made it back to the plate to tag Ringstaff out and keep the Saints in the lead. Nevertheless, Octavia Lewis-Rand got in a battle with Shearer, fouling off pitch after pitch. Finally on the 10th pitch of the at bat she ripped a single through the right side that scored Thomas to even the score at 1-1 after seven.
Neither team scored in the seventh inning, sending the game went to extra innings. With a runner placed on second due to the international tiebreaker, Limestone successfully sacrificed her to third before Maybry ripped single to left field to score her and give the Saints a 2-1 lead. Light then worked out of the inning to give the offense a chance to even the score again.
After a popout and groundout, Hannah Smith laced a single to center and Rodriguez tried to score from second to tie the game. However, Limestone centerfielder, Hayes made a good throw to the plate, and Rodriguez was tagged out to end the game, giving the Saints the 2-1 victory.
Light tossed all eight innings for the Tornado, allowing two unearned runs on five hits. Lewis-Rand led the Tornado offense going 2-for-3 with one run batted in.
King will be in action again tomorrow when they host Barton College at 1:00 p.m.

I have never seen a grip designed for a Speed/Crown either, but have seen many cameras that have been modified to use them. I have a couple Linhof grips. Each of them mounts/attaches to the camera differently ( perhaps a Linhof user could explain why that is). One is right-handed, black, and will slide onto the bracket that came on a couple of my 4x5's, while the other is left-handed, white and only fits into a plate that some had screwed into a Century. Based on my experiences w/ them, I would suggest that any grip can be used, so long as you acquire the matching hardware/bracket/plate as well. I think many people use Graflex XL grips as well, but have no personal experience with them. One thing to keep in mind is that some of the prices on those grips is outrageous. I got one of mine for a decent price and the other one just came with a camera as a part. Anyway, I hope this reply is helpful and not too disjointed.

Yes, the Linhof grips are often adapted to other cameras, but you need to be sure you've got the grip and the mounting plate together, since there are several different types that were made for various cameras at various times. You just need to screw or bolt the mounting plate to the camera you want to use it on, and the camera needs to be amenable to that, as most press cameras are.

Some time ago at a local camera show I picked up a no-name grip that works well with my Century. They are out there if you look around enough. I've never seen one made by Graflex.

Yes, it is this kind of grip which I want because I do not want to damage my crown by making holes.
I want only to use the tripod socket on the left side. Is it possible with a linhof grip ?

My grip has the name "Alpex" on the strap attached to the handle, which appears to be some kind of plastic (Bakelite?) and has indentations for the fingers to grasp. The handle is held in the left hand, and on top of the handle is a standard accessory socket for flash. The heavy-gauge aluminum bracket, marked "Made in Japan," has two long slots with a sturdy knob with 1/4"-20 thread for attaching to the camera's tripod socket. Looks as though this grip could easily accommodate a 4x5; it sure works great on my Century, and invites me to shoot hand-held more than I do, which is seldom. Think I paid $5 for it.

Henry, your grip sounds like a copy of the grip Graflex DID MAKE for the Century. They first made it for the XL series. It was so popular they devised a mount so that the grip could be mounted on a Century. No, the mount for one will NOT fit the other.
The Century model was designed and will only fit the Century which is obviously 2x3. It will not, and there is no way to modify it to, fit the 45 series of cameras.
Incidentally, if your's is a copy of the Graflex model, you got it for a good price. The Century model is rare and usually costs much more than that.

Thanks for that info, alec. When I think of all the good stuff I used to come across at the camera shows, it makes me long for a return to the good old days before uBuy. Glad I assembled my kit when I did; today it wouldn't be possible to do it the way I did, "up close and personal" across the dealer tables.

Oh, you're talking about cameras
I have to admit that I like and prefer the smooth grip supplied by a flash tube on the Graphics over an anatomical design. But I do go both ways with my grips... I have anatomical on my C330's and like that very much.
Now if anyone happens to know someone in manufacturing, there may be an oportunity here. It would be fairly easy to design an anatomical grip with the 1 1/2 inch tube on top & bottom to fit the flash mount of the Graphics. A hole for a cable release could easily be incorporated similar to the one on my C330. It would be very difficult to angle the grip, but it still might be a nice accessory? Just as easily, a standard flash shoe could be added to the top for electric flash or meter... Now if I just had some seed money....

I put a Linhof grip on one of my 2X3 Pacemaker Speeds. Be aware that the bed brace guides are right behind where the Linhof bracket wants to go. Short screws and care are needed.

External door buying guide

The consensus in the grain trade is that USDA should cut its estimate of the 2011-2012 U.S. corn carryout by nearly 6% in Thursday's monthly supply/demand update. The trade is also anticipating a small cut in the U.S. soybean carryout amid prospects for better U.S. soybean exports due to South American crop reductions and a recent pick-up in U.S. wheat export sales.
Pre-report estimates of 2011-2012 U.S. corn ending stocks from 20 analysts average 796 million bushels in a range from 680 million to 846 million bushels, compared with USDA's January estimate of 846 million bushels, according to combined results of surveys taken by Dow Jones Newswires and Reuters News Service.
There are expectations USDA could raise its estimate of U.S. corn exports further due to a stronger-than-expected export sales pace and lower-than-expected production for major export competitor Argentina.
The U.S. agricultural attaché in Buenos Aires recently cut his estimate of Argentina's production to 21.8 million metric tons (mmt) versus USDA's January estimate of 26 mmt. The attaché trimmed his estimate of Argentina's 2011-2012 corn exports to only 14 mmt compared with USDA's most recent estimate of 18.5 mmt.
Strong U.S. ethanol production could also cause USDA to raise its projected corn-for-ethanol use slightly. Ethanol production slipped only modestly in January from the record pace set in December despite the expiration of the blenders tax credit.
Estimates of U.S. soybean ending stocks from 20 analysts average 271 million bushels, 4 million below USDA's January carryout projection, in a range from 245 million to 300 million bushels, according to combined survey results.
Some observers see USDA raising its projection for 2011-2012 U.S. soybean exports due to decreased competition from South America following crop losses in Argentina, southern Brazil and Paraguay due to dry conditions there.
However, U.S. soybean export sales have shown little improvement in the past month and are still running well behind the pace needed to meet USDA's current 2011-2012 export projection of 1.275 billion bushels.
Through Jan. 26, U.S. soybean export sales commitments were running 31.4% behind a year earlier, with USDA forecasting only about a 15% drop in marketing year exports.
While there has been increased talk of China boosting purchases of U.S. beans due to South American crop losses and delays at Brazilian ports, there has been no evidence of fresh demand at Gulf export terminals this week. Spot Gulf CIF basis bids for soybeans at midday on Tuesday were 5¢ weaker than on Friday afternoon.

The annual GI Film Fest celebrates the "successes and sacrifices of the American military through the medium of film." One of those films was Honor in the Valley of Tears, which tells the story of the Army's A-Company during the Vietnam War.
Summary by Writer-Director Eric S. Dow:
The story of A-Company 1/8 4th Infantry Division, US Army during the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1967. In the men's own words, through the stories they narrate, the film gives us insight into the time these men spent together and the bond they formed that remains unbroken to this day. The 4th Infantry Division is one of the only divisions that trained and retained its troops during the Vietnam War. The men of A-Company trained together for eleven months and served together for one year. Their story begins with basic training at Ft. Lewis Washington in 1965 and continues 40 years later at their last reunion in September 2007. Filming began September 27, 2007 in Houston, Texas during a reunion to honor First Sergeant David H. McNerney, who is the only living member of the 4th Infantry Division to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was celebrated by the men he trained and served with and who's lives he saved on March 22, 1967. Conceived by executive producer John A. Ponsoll, whose father served with A-Company and had documented his tour of duty with a Kodak slide camera, the film honors the memory of A-Company 1/8 and documents their incredible courage and dedication to one another.
We caught up with the filmmakers and the hero of the film, former First Sergeant David H. McNerney.
Their journey is everyone's responsibility. From the moment they enlist, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, they can rely on your support.

Associated Press
Gia Allemand, who was the girlfriend of NBA Pelicans player Ryan Anderson and appeared on ABC's "The Bachelor" and "Bachelor Pad," has died, her publicist said Wednesday. She was 29.
Allemand was taken Monday night to University Hospital in New Orleans after a suicide attempt, the publicist, Penelope Jean Hayes, said in a written statement.
Anderson found the actress and called 911. Allemand was taken off life support Wednesday because of "a critical loss of brain and organ function, life support was withdrawn."
Hayes said Allemand died with her "mother, boyfriend and other life-long friends by her side."
In a statement provided to the AP by Anderson, he thanked family, friends and fans for "all the love and support."
Hayes did not provide further details about how Allemand died.
Allemand, a professional ballet dancer and actress, began modeling when as a baby she did Johnson & Johnson ads and also appeared as a Gerber baby. In addition, she did modeling work for Maxim magazine.
In her 2010 appearance on "The Bachelor," she was the third-runner up on the show featuring love interest Jake Pavelka. According to a statement from his publicist, Charmaine Blake, Pavelka offered well wishes to Allemand's family.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

What is a Ryokan?
Posted on April 12th, 2013 by Rachel Moore
When looking at our tours, you will notice that we often stay at ryokans, instead of a "western style hotel". So what is a ryokan?
Well first, so you know how to pronounce it, say it with me: ree-o-kahn. A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They are smaller, more quaint, and often more hospitable than your mainstream hotel. Since our tour groups max out at 16 people, it allows us to have the opportunity to stay at such wonderful facilities. You could almost compare the mannerisms to bed and breakfast lodging that we are used to in Western culture, though the room layout is very different. The rooms will have traditional tatami (straw) mats on the floor, and you will have your own mattress (similar to a futon mattress) to sleep on. You can often layer a couple of these mattresses to give yourself a little extra height and/or cushion. Some ryokans offer a few western-style rooms, but you will need to check with us on the particular tour you are interested in to see if this option is available. The food is also very wonderful (they can cook for a smaller amount of people, giving their food more attention to detail). The "Kaiseki-style" dinners are a treat for both your tastebuds and your eyes. Everything is delicious and served with excellent presentation. Read the full post »

Shelton YA novelist mixes high school sports with Watergate
Shelton author Bob Moseley will be attending the Miami Book Fair on Nov. 23 to promote his young adult novel, "Out of Bounds" (Outskirts Press, $16.95).
Moseley drew on his background in sports journalism for this tale of a student journalist and athlete who is sidelined by an injury. Jason Jefferson uncovers a scandal on the football team and has to decide how far he is willing to go to pursue the story.
"Out of Bounds" is designed to teach young readers about the Watergate scandal, as well as high school sports.
The novel opens with a high school journalism teacher screening "All the President's Men" for a class of students -- including Jason -- who have never heard of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.
More Information$16.95
"Woodward and Bernstein sounded like some kind of law firm to me. ... I still can't believe they changed my life forever," Jason tells us in the opening chapter.
Moseley has been giving a series of talks to area seventh- and eighth-grade students about his young adult debut.
The author has written for Sports Illustrated, the New York Times and Tennis magazine. He has also worked as an editor for Hearst newspapers in Connecticut.
Moseley will be speaking at the Westport Library, 20 Jesup Road, on Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 7:30 p.m.
Young adult sci-fi
Stamford native Jeff Yager has made his fiction-writing debut with "Atom & Eve" (Hannacroix Creek Books, $16.95), a tale of a deadly flu plague in the near future and a Johns Hopkins college freshman who becomes a test case for a possible cure.
Yager graduated from Westhill High School in 2007 and now lives in Florida. The author's proud mom, Jan Yager, told me last week that Jeff had just made his first TV appearance for "Atom & Eve" on "Let's Talk Live," broadcast by an ABC affiliate in the Washington, D.C., area.
The novel is available directly from the publisher at www.hannacroixcreekbooks.com.
Small Business Saturday

In addition to hand-selling their own books, the authors also will be recommending their favorite books to customers. The writers will cover many different genres, from fiction to cookbooks.
Store event planner Nancy Quinn said the daylong celebration was inspired by a recent Los Angeles Times article that noted, "For many booksellers, Small Business Saturday (squeezed between the Wal-Mart-friendly Black Friday and the Amazon-friendly Cyber Monday) was their second-biggest sales day of the year."

Verizon FiOS Scores First NFL Game on 3D TV: Giants-Patriots Preseason Match-Up on Sept. 2
NEW YORK, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon is kicking off the football season with the production and broadcast of the first National Football League game in 3D on television for the company's FiOS TV customers in parts of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
The game is the Sept. 2 preseason match-up between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, at New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Coverage begins at 6:45 p.m., with Verizon FiOS1 pre-game, half-time and post-game shows - all in 3D. The game begins at 7 p.m.
Verizon FiOS1 is producing the 3D broadcast, which will be shown on FiOS Channel 834 for FiOS TV subscribers in the New York City area, including Long Island and Westchester and Rockland counties, as well as for subscribers in northern New Jersey, Mercer County, N.J., Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Similar to previously offered 3D programming from Verizon, customers must have 3D TV sets, 3D glasses and a high-definition set-top box to view the broadcast.
The veteran on-air broadcast team includes play-by-play announcer Spero Dedes, analyst Howard Cross and sideline reporter Kimberly Jones.
"This is the next major step in our development of 3D experiences for our FiOS TV customers," said Terry Denson, vice president of content strategy and acquisition for Verizon. "Broadcasting the first 3D NFL game delivers on our promise to FiOS customers to provide a superior TV offering, including 3D, HD and VOD programming, as well as interactivity that cable can't match."
Giants Chief Marketing Officer Mike Stevens said, "The Giants are excited to host the first 3D broadcast of an NFL Game in our new stadium. We have worked closely with our partner Verizon in developing new technology throughout the stadium for our fans, and now Verizon FiOS and the Giants will be taking the next step in innovation for our fans at home."
In support of the 3D broadcast, Verizon will host customer viewing parties at New Meadowlands Stadium and at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Guests at Gillette Stadium will include youngsters from local Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
Verizon also is working with two popular sports bars in the New York and New England markets -- Slate Bar in Manhattan and Snookers in Providence, R.I. -- to give consumers a first-hand look at the power of Verizon's 3D experience. The company will set up 3D TVs at each location and hold promotional events there.
The broadcast marks Verizon's third major 3D initiative this summer. On July 10 and 11, the company broadcast the first Major League Baseball games in 3D, between the New York Yankees and the Seattle Mariners. And on July 15, Verizon announced that it will carry 3D programming on FiOS TV Video on Demand from WealthTV.
"We are committed to bringing our customers a consistently high-quality TV experience with the best programming available over the country's only all-fiber network," added Denson. "And there's so much more yet to come, with new programming, applications and other enhancements that only FiOS can deliver."
FiOS TV offers a broad collection of programming, with more than 565 all-digital channels including up to 142 HD channels and 18,000 monthly video-on-demand titles. FiOS also provides next-generation interactive services including an advanced interactive media guide; social networking, news and entertainment widgets; remote DVR management via broadband or cell phone; and more.
In addition, with NFL Mobile only from Verizon, Giants and Patriots fans can get news, scores and highlights all season long on their Verizon Wireless smartphones. For information on how to download, customers can visit www.verizonwireless.com/nfl.

What is a Pesticide?
Quick Resources
- What is a pesticide?
- What is a pest?
- Do household products contain pesticides?
- What is the balance between the risks and benefits of pesticides?
- Are some pesticides safer than others?
- What about pest control devices?
- What substances are not regulated as pesticides?
What is a pesticide?
A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended for:
- preventing,
- destroying,
- repelling, or
- mitigating any pest.
Though often misunderstood to refer only to insecticides, the term pesticide also applies to herbicides, fungicides, and various other substances used to control pests.
Under United States law, a pesticide is also any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant.
What is a pest?
Pests are living organisms that occur where they are not wanted or that cause damage to crops or humans or other animals. Examples include:
- insects,
- mice and other animals,
- unwanted plants (weeds),
- fungi,
- microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, and
- prions. (578 kb, 8 pgs, PDF)
Do household products contain pesticides?
Many household products are pesticides. All of these common products are considered pesticides:
- Cockroach sprays and baits
- Insect repellents for personal use.
- Rat and other rodent poisons.
- Flea and tick sprays, powders, and pet collars.
- Kitchen, laundry, and bath disinfectants and sanitizers.
- Products that kill mold and mildew.
- Some lawn and garden products, such as weed killers.
- Some swimming pool chemicals.
What is the balance between the risks and benefits of pesticides?
By their very nature, most pesticides create some risk of harm - Pesticides can cause harm to humans, animals, or the environment because they are designed to kill or otherwise adversely affect living organisms.
At the same time, pesticides are useful to society - Pesticides can kill potential disease-causing organisms and control insects, weeds, and other pests.
Are some pesticides safer than others?
Biologically-based pesticides, such as pheromones and microbial pesticides, are becoming increasingly popular and often are safer than traditional chemical pesticides. In addition, EPA is registering reduced-risk conventional pesticides in increasing numbers.
What about pest control devices?
A pest control "device" is any instrument or contrivance (other than a firearm) intended for trapping, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest. A black light trap is an example of a device.
Unlike pesticides, EPA does not require devices to be registered with the Agency. Devices are subject to certain labeling, packaging, record keeping, and import/export requirements, however. In addition, the establishment where a device is produced must be registered with EPA who will assign an Establishment Number.
For more information on devices, see Pest Control Devices.
What substances are not regulated as pesticides?
The U.S. definition of pesticides is quite broad, but it does have some exclusions:
- Drugs used to control diseases of humans or animals (such as livestock and pets) are not considered pesticides; such drugs are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.
- Fertilizers, nutrients, and other substances used to promote plant survival and health are not considered plant growth regulators and thus are not pesticides.
- Biological control agents, except for certain microorganisms, are exempted from regulation by EPA. (Biological control agents include beneficial predators such as birds or ladybugs that eat insect pests.)
- Products which contain certain low-risk ingredients, such as garlic and mint oil, have been exempted from Federal registration requirements, although State regulatory requirements may still apply. For a list of ingredients which may be exempt, and a discussion of allowable label claims for such products, see EPA's Pesticide Registration Notice 2000-6, "Minimum Risk Pesticides Exempted under FIFRA Section 25(b)" (33 KB, PDF)

Patients receiving treatment for various illnesses may have a central venous catheter (CVC) inserted. A catheter is a soft hollow tube. The central venous catheter is placed into a large vein leading into the heart and comes out through a small opening in the chest area. This opening is called the exit site. A CVC can be used to give you fluids, blood products, and medicine. It can also be used to take blood samples.
That way, you will not have to be "stuck" again and again. The type of CVC to be placed will depend upon the type of illness you have and the therapy you will most likely need. The catheter can remain in place for weeks to months.
The CVC may be inserted in the operating room or at the bedside, depending upon the type of catheter. In both instances local numbing of the skin is used. Sutures may be placed at the exit site to help hold the catheter in place. Some catheters tunnel under the skin and have a small bulged area near the exit site, called a "cuff." The cuff remains under the skin and helps to hold the catheter in place and prevent infection.
To the right is a drawing of a person's chest and blood vessels, showing one possible placement of the tunneled catheter.
The type of catheter you will receive is marked below.
These catheters may have the following features:
Your catheter has been inserted through a small cut (incision) near the catheter exit site. Steri strips (small adhesive strips) are placed over the incision. Do not remove these strips. Let them fall off. Check this site for bleeding, redness, warmth or drainage until it is completely healed. Call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.
Before you leave the hospital, your nurse will show you how to flush the catheter and how to change the cap and the dressing. He or she will allow time for you to become familiar with catheter care and will answer your questions. For most patients, a home care nurse will visit after discharge to help the patient and caregiver become independent in caring for the catheter.
A member of your health care team will review your insurance and help arrange for catheter care at home or in your doctor's office.
The signs of catheter infection and problems are similar for all types of central venous catheters. If you have any sign of infection or catheter problem, call your doctor immediately.
Signs of infection, clotting, or other problems include:
A problem-solving chart is at the end of this booklet. Use it as a guide for catheter-related problems.
You must always wash your hands carefully for 15 seconds before and after working with the CVC. Anyone who helps you with CVC care must do the same. This is necessary to protect you from infection. Use liquid antibacterial soap and paper towels to dry your hands.
To prevent infection, anything that touches the exit site of the CVC and anything that goes into the CVC must be sterile. Your nurse will show you how to care for the CVC properly. The following guidelines are helpful in preventing infection:
The CVC dressing is changed every 7 days if you are using a transparent dressing. Change it every 48 hours if you are using gauze or Telfa island dressing and tape. If the dressing becomes wet or loose, change it even if it is not the normal time to change it. A nurse will give specific instructions to you and your caregiver about your type of dressing.
Other supplies as needed:___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Some CVCs have separate tubes. Each tube is called a lumen. Each lumen of the CVC needs to be flushed regularly to keep it clear of backed-up blood. If you have more than 1 lumen, it is helpful to have a routine for flushing lumens in the same order each time. For instance, you might always flush the red one first, then the white, then blue. You will flush each lumen of the CVC once a day using 3 cc of heparin solution (100 units heparin/cc), unless you have been instructed differently.
Other flush:_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Groshong catheters are flushed once a week or when the catheter is used. The lumens are flushed using 10 cc of saline solution on the same day of each week. Heparin is not used because of the special construction of the Groshong catheter.
The injection cap on each lumen of your CVC is changed every 5 to 7 days. Change a cap any time it is leaking.
This requires doing a lot with only one hand, but it is important to hold onto the lumen of the CVC to keep it from hanging free and touching anything. The patient and caregiver may need to work together to have enough hands for this procedure.
See the table on the next page for some potential CVC problems and what to do about them. It is a good idea to carry a few CVC supplies with you at all times.

SA Lady Vols draw 2-2 with Lady Raiders
Starkville Academy soccer coach Robert Gardner has confidence in Tiffany Huddleston's ability to score.
He told her as much during halftime of Monday's match with the Lady Volunteers trailing Jackson Academy 1-0.
After not finishing opportunities in the first half, Huddleston scored a pair of goals to help Starkville Academy earn a 2-2 draw.
"We were down and I felt we deserved to win," Huddleston said about her determination to make a difference for her team. "Even though we tied, I'll take a tie. I just wanted to try and get the game back even."
Huddleston's first goal came after she gained control of the ball about midway through the second half. She out-ran the Jackson Academy defenders on a sprint toward the goal and took it all the way to tie the score at 1-1.
Gardner had a feeling Huddleston was going to respond in the second half.
"She missed a couple of chances in the first half and she was a little upset with herself," Gardner said. "I told her at halftime that she's a fantastic player, I believed in you and you are going to score in the second half and sure enough she scored two."
Huddleston had been suffering from a quad muscle injury that has limited her play in recent matches.
Once she got healthy enough to contribute, Huddleston wasn't going to let the squad down.
"I hate watching and any player would," Huddleston said. "Just seeing your teammates out there, you know they need you."
Falling behind 2-1 after a goal by Jackson Academy with 7 minutes left, the Lady Vols needed someone to step up again and got another tying goal from Huddleston on a feed by Jessica Dennis.
"It was great work from Jessica Dennis on the side to get the ball in and Tiff was able to float in to peg the goal that's going to give us the result that we want," Gardner said.
Gardner consider a 2-2 match between one of the Jackson area schools "a great result."
"I'm extremely happy," Gardner said. "I've been wondering when we were going to get the result that maybe on paper Starkville Academy isn't supposed to get, but (Monday) we stayed organized and I was extremely happy. They put a ton of pressure on us in the second half, but I'm happy with the way it finished off. I think at a minimum, we deserved a draw."
Starkville Academy, which has an overall record of 8-6-1, will host a playoff match either Monday or Tuesday against Presbyterian Christian, Madison-Ridgeland or a possible rematch with Jackson Academy. The Lady Vols take on Clarksdale-Lee at home in a tune-up match on Thursday.
"It's really exciting," Huddleston said about a playoff appearance. "Any player doesn't want to end their season without the playoffs. We just want to get as far as we can."

Next week in Anaheim will mark the first SHARE Conference of 2014 and the 122nd SHARE conference since SHARE's 1955 inception. This is an important event to IBM enterprise computing professionals as it will be the SHARE Conference just prior to the 50th birthday of the IBM Mainframe computing platform in April.
Background on SHARE
SHARE Inc. is a volunteer-run user group for IBM mainframe computers that was founded in 1955 by Los Angeles-area IBM 701 users. It evolved into a forum for exchanging technical information about programming languages, operating systems, database systems, and user experiences for enterprise users of small, medium, and large-scale IBM computers such as IBM S/360, IBM S/370, zSeries, pSeries, and xSeries. A major resource of SHARE from the beginning was the SHARE library. Originally, IBM distributed its operating systems in source form and systems programmers commonly made small local additions or modifications and exchanged them with other users. The SHARE library and the process of distributed development it fostered was one of the major origins of open source software. Over the past five decades, SHARE has become synonymous with high-quality, user-driven education and resources to make enterprise computing specialists more effective professionals. SHARE serves more than 20,000 individuals representing over 2,000 of IBM's top enterprise computing customers.
Brocade and SHARE
Brocade has a long and rich tradition of supporting SHARE, presenting at SHARE conferences, and actively participating in SHARE. This tradition goes back multiple decades, even prior to the Brocade acquisition of McDATA. Some of the ways Brocade and its employees have been actively involved in SHARE include:
Giving presentations at SHARE is also an important part of our involvement at SHARE. Brocade's very own David Lytle has been recognized recently at multiple SHARE conferences with the "Best Vendor Presentation" award. Dave's most recent such recognition was at the 2013 SHARE San Francisco Conference in recognition for his presentation "A First Look at the Inner Workings and Hidden Mechanisms of FICON Performance." A photo of Dave receiving the award from SHARE President Brian Peterson and SHARE Vice President James Vincent is below. We're all very proud of Dave at Brocade, and I am privileged to have worked with him for many years, and honored to have him as a good friend. For SHARE Anaheim, Dave is one of two "SHARE Anaheim Spotlighted Speakers", another impressive accomplishment for Dave, and great for Brocade.
Brocade at SHARE Anaheim
Brocade has 5 sessions on the schedule at SHARE Anaheim next week from 3 speakers.
1) Monday, March 10, 2014: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM Platinum Ballroom Salon 4 (Anaheim Marriott Hotel) Buzz Fibrechannel - To 16G and Beyond. Howard Johnson will discuss:
-FICON speed roadmap - per the standards.
-Current customer trends in bandwidth utilization. -Do you need 8G, do you need 16G, do you need 32G ? -How does HPF play into FICON speeds ? -What about FCoE - how does this play into FICON ?
2) Wednesday, March 12, 2014: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM Platinum Ballroom Salon 1 (Anaheim Marriott Hotel) . 'Why' Ultra High Availability and Integrated EMC-Brocade Data Replication Networks. Yours truly is doing a joint presentation with EMC's Brian Kithcart. The focus of our presentation will be on architecture and management for business continuity with the EMC DLm platform and Brocade SAN, FCIP, and IP hardware.
3) Wednesday, March 12, 2014: 1:30 PM-2:30 PM Platinum Ballroom Salon 2 (Anaheim Marriott Hotel). Yours truly will present a session entitled System z Long Distance Extension and FCIP Network Primer. This session will provide a detailed look at Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) networking for IBM System z environments. We will discuss basics, such as tunnels, circuits, and the protocol itself. We will also cover several more advanced technical subjects, such as FCIP trunking, metrics/failover, lossless link loss, and how TCP plays a role in FCIP networks. Finally, we will discuss different FICON protocol emulation techniques used to improve performance over very long distances.
4) Thursday, March 13, 2014: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM Grand Ballroom Salon H (Anaheim Marriott Hotel). David Lytle is presenting his spotlighted presentation and sequel to his award winning presentation.
A Deeper Look Into the Inner Workings and Hidden Mechanisms of FICON Performance goes into a deeper discussion on some of the design considerations of a FICON infrastructure. Among the topics this session will focus on how FICON utilizes buffer credits as well as how best to get FICON RMF reporting will be discussed. Lastly, a discussion on the tools and techniques for managing performance issues will also be covered.
5) Thursday, March 13, 2014: 4:30 PM-5:30 PM Platinum Ballroom Salon 4 (Anaheim Marriott Hotel) David Lytle is presenting a brand new session: Build FC I/O Fabric Super Highways Using ISL Virtualization.
This technical session, suitable for FCP and FICON users, will provide information about deploying good I/O fabric architecture practices to make the best use of Brocade ISL virtual channels. Customers who use fibre channel links to connect switches and data center sites together will benefit from the information in this session.
It promises to be a great week at SHARE Anaheim. I'm excited about the great sessions, particularly the Brocade sessions of course. I'm also looking forward to seeing a lot of friends from the industry at SHARE. One of the best things about attending SHARE is being able to renew acquaintances and friendships with people in the industry you do not get to see very often, Even if they work for a competing company (such as Cisco in my case).
Unfortunately, I will not be seeing anyone I know from Cisco at SHARE. You see, for the second SHARE in a row, they are not presenting any sessions. They are not hosting a booth. Just not attending. For a company in the industry who is supposedly quite focused on the enterprise computing (mainframe) space with their networking products, and FICON directors, it sure seems strange to me that they would again not attend the pivotal conference focused on mainframe computing.
Unlike Cisco, if you'd like to attend SHARE you can register here.
I hope to see you there!
Dr. Steve
Very informative blog. Maybe Cisco is waiting for FICON over Ethernet (FICONoE), or is it FICON over FCoE (FICONoFCoE)...

Bidding starts today for Don Tyson interchange
Bidding starts today for Don Tyson interchange
SPRINGDALE, Ark. —
Bidding for the Don Tyson parkway interchange will start today.
The Don Tyson parkway interchange will provide drivers direct access from the Don Tyson Parkway to highway 540.
Doug Sprouse, the Springdale mayor, says that this will give drivers more access to 540, and it will help to bring new businesses to Springdale especially near Arvest Ballpark.
The city of Springdale will choose the best bid and then the winning bid will have to get approved by the state highway department.
Once the highway department approves the bill, the Springdale city council will then approve the project, and construction can officially begin.
Sprouse estimates the construction will take about 2 years.

Galicia Energy Corporation Ltd (GAL.AX) shares are moving today on volatility -8.77% or -0.025 from the open. The ASX listed company saw a recent bid of 0.26 and 683714 shares have traded hands in the session.
When trading the stock market, investors constantly have to deal with volatility. There are many different reasons why markets may see increased volatility. Whether it is political change, economic events, or even natural disasters, there is always something brewing that has the ability to disrupt the market. When a big event happens, investors might be faced with challenges and be forced to react. Overreacting to market downturns may be common, but it may also hurt the health of the stock portfolio. When the stock market gets choppy and slides, investors may be tempted to quickly pull money out. Pulling out of positions based on specific events may be the right move sometimes, but investors may find that they missed out on gains that followed after a rebound. Staying disciplined and being prepared can help the investor ride out temporary market turbulence.
Taking a deeper look into the technical levels of Galicia Energy Corporation Ltd (GAL.AX), we can see that the Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -95.45. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams. This is a momentum indicator that is the inverse of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for Galicia Energy Corporation Ltd (GAL.AX) is sitting at 41.36. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
For further review, we can take a look at another popular technical indicator. In terms of moving averages, the 200-day is currently at 0.08, the 50-day is 0.28, and the 7-day is resting at 0.31. Moving averages are a popular trading tool among investors. Moving averages can be used to help filter out the day to day noise created by other factors. MA's may be used to identify uptrends or downtrends, and they can be a prominent indicator for detecting a shift in momentum for a particular stock. Many traders will use moving averages for different periods of time in conjunction with other indicators to help gauge future stock price action.
Galicia Energy Corporation Ltd (GAL.AX) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -254.77. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, Galicia Energy Corporation Ltd's 14-day RSI is currently at 34.20, the 7-day stands at 16.39, and the 3-day is sitting at 3.08.
As any seasoned investor knows, markets can move up or down in the blink of an eye. Investors who attempt to beat the market without creating a plan may find themselves grasping at straws down the line. Building a plan that included the right level of risk may be different for every individual. Managing risk and staying on top of the stock portfolio can help investors ride out the storm when it eventually rolls in. Anybody who manages their own portfolio knows that it can be extremely challenging at times. Finding a consistent process that works when markets become volatile can be a big help to the investor. Controlling emotions and conducting the necessary research can help the investor make the difficult decisions when they crop up.

January 30, 2013 19:25 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 30, 2013) - Community Living workers who support people with developmental disabilities at agencies in Trail, Castlegar, Creston, and Salmon Arm will be on strike on Thursday, January 31. Workers in Cranbrook will take strike action on Friday, February 1.
The 231 striking workers - members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees - are employed by the Trail Association for Community Living, the Kootenay Society for Community Living (Castlegar), the Creston & District Society for Community Living, the Cranbrook Society for Community Living, and the Shuswap Association for Community Living (Salmon Arm).
"The time is long overdue for this government to show some commitment to community living and other community-bases social services, and improve the funding," says CUPE BC president Barry O'Neill. "This includes a fair and reasonable wage increase for the people who support some of our most vulnerable citizens."
Community social services workers are among the lowest-paid workers in the public sector. Starting wages are $15.54, which is a dollar less than it was ten years ago.
"Those low wages mean that many workers can no longer make ends meet and are forced to take on second jobs, or leave the sector altogether," says O'Neill. "It has also created serious recruitment and retention problems for community social services employers."
Some employers are now voluntarily paying above collective agreement rates because of recruitment issues. Frontline staff at Community Living BC (CLBC) staff agree that additional funding is urgently needed to address the chronic program and support shortages in community living.
More than half of all respondents to a recent survey conducted by the BCGEU - which represents CLBC workers - expressed concerns about the budget-driven funding decisions they had been forced to make over the previous year with respect to their clients. And more than 40 per cent said they had been required to cut services or supports they considered necessary for their clients' health, safety or well-being.
Picket actions on Thursday will occur at the worksite in Trail from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., in Castlegar from 8 - 4, in Creston from 9-3, and Salmon Arm from 8:30 - 3:30. The Cranbrook action on Friday, which will be joined by 30 members from the Hospital Employees' Union (HEU), will take place from 8-4. These strike actions are part of larger job action in the community living sector taking place this week at several locations throughout B.C. In Victoria on Thursday, HEU will be taking strike action at ten different agencies representing more than 800 workers in the sector.
For more information about job actions in the Kootenays and Salmon Arm, please see the contact information below.

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The King University softball team wrapped up play at the Captain D's Classic with a split against the same two teams they played on Saturday. The Tornado used three first inning runs to defeat Kentucky Wesleyan College 4-2, before falling to #10 University of North Georgia 1-0 in the nightcap.
Cassie Ringstaff wasted no time getting the Tornado offense going in the top of the first, ripping a leadoff single up the middle. Stephanie Rodriguez then reached on an error before Fallon Thomas laced a double to left center to score two. Thomas later scored on an error to give King (12-15) a 3-0 after the top of the first inning.
However, the Panthers (5-8) answered in the bottom of the frame as Kelsey Miller started the frame with a single through the left side. A walk put two runners on before Mackenzie Weedman ripped a two-run double down the right field line, but that was all the Panthers would get as King held a 3-2 lead after one inning.
King pitcher Hannah Light began to settle in at that point as she stranded runners in each the second, third and fourth innings before working a 1-2-3 fifth inning, her first of the contest. Light again worked around a leadoff single in the sixth inning before Thomas added an insurance run for the Tornado in the seventh. Tori McComas started the inning with a single up the middle, but was forced out before Ringstaff stole second and advanced to third on a groundout. Thomas then rolled a two-out single up the middle to score Ringstaff and give King a 4-2 lead.
In the bottom of the seventh, Light got back-to-back outs before Kentucky Wesleyan registered consecutive singles to put two runners on base. However, Light got a groundout to end the game, earning her 11th win of the season. Light scattered 10 hits and struck out six while allowing just the two runs.
McComas and Thomas led the King offense as McComas went 3-for-3, and Thomas drove in three while going 2-for-4.
A day after 10th ranked North Georgia (17-6) defeated the Tornado on a walk-off grand slam, the teams squared off in another tight affair on Sunday afternoon. In what was a great pitcher's duel between Light and Victoria Sink, the Nighthawk offense was able to put up one run in the second inning. The two pitchers only allowed nine total hits in the ballgame.
King had a pair of runners on in the bottom of the first inning, one reached on an error, and Hannah Smith registered King's first hit of the game. Nevertheless, Sink escaped the jam with a pop up.
Sink's offense then gave her the run she needed in the second inning as Ansley Phillips started the inning with a single up the middle. A two-out walk put runners on first and second for Victoria Prince who ripped a single to center field to score one and give North Georgia the 1-0 lead. An infield single loaded the bases, but Light got a fly out to escaped the jam, and leave the bases loaded.
King then recorded hits in each the third and fourth innings, but couldn't get more than one in either frame as both pitchers settled in. Light retired 14 of the final 15 batters she faced to give the Tornado offense a chance to comeback. However, Sink was too much as she nearly matched Light pitch-for-pitch to give the Nighthawks the 1-0 victory.
Light allowed the one run on five hits in the ballgame while striking out one. Thomas, Smith, McComas and Samantha Cole all registered hits for the Tornado offense.
King returns home on Wednesday when they take on Carson-Newman University. First pitch is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
