[From the Richmond Dispatch, March 19, 1893.]
Dan Emmett its Author and New York the Place of Its Production.
BALTIMORE, MD., March 11, 1893.
I wish I was in the land of cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
In Dixie land where I was born in, early on a frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Old Missus marry Will de Weaber, Will-yum was a gay deceaber,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
But when he put his arm around her,
smiled as fierce as a forty pounder.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land. (Chorus)
Dars buckwheat cakes an' ingen batter, makes you
fat or a little fatter,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
Den hoe it down and scratch your grabble to Dixie's land
I'm bound to travel,
Look away, look away, look away Dixie land. (Chorus)
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I see by your issue of March 5th a question has arisen with
regard to the authorship (music and words) of "Dixie." I think I can give you "a
straight tip." With regard to Albert Pike's authorship--he was too noble a
gentleman to have claimed anything that did not belong to him. When it was
written he was practicing law in Arkansas, not in Memphis. As for Captain Mentor
and his band composing it at the levee on the Mississippi, that is still more
absurd. Mrs. Charles T. White, widow of Charlie White, my life-long friend, is
I will give you now the full particulars as I have received them from Dan Emmett himself and my own recollections.
"Dixie."--It was Saturday night in 1859, when Dan Emmett was a member of Bryant's Minstrels in New York. Bryant came to Emmett and said: "Dan, can't you get us up a walk-around? I want something new and lively for Monday night." At that date all minstrel shows used to wind up with a "walk-around." The demand for them was constant, and Emmett was the composer of all the "walk-arounds" of Bryant's band. Emmett of course went to work, but he had done so much in that line that nothing at first satisfactory to him presented itself. At last he hit upon the first two bars, and any composer can tell how good a start that is in the manufacture of a tune. By Sunday afternoon he had the words, commencing: "I wish I was in Dixie." This colloquial expression was not, as most people suppose, a Southern phrase, but first appeared among the circus people of the North. In early fall, when nipping frosts would overtake the tented wanderers, the boys would think of the genial warmth of that section for which they were heading, and the common expression would be, "Well, I wish I was down in Dixie."
This gave the catch line: the rest of the song was original. On Monday morning the song was rehearsed and highly commended, and at night a crowded house caught up the refrain and half the audience went home whistling "Dixie." Bryant gave Emmett $5 for his work. The song became the rage, and "Newcombe's," "Buckley's," and other minstrel bands paid Emmett $5 for the privilege of using it. Mr. Werlean, of New Orleans, wrote to Emmett to secure the copyright, but, without waiting for an answer, published it with the words by Mr. Peters, of New York. He afterwards secured the copyright from Emmett and gave him $600. But Werlean sold thousands of copies without giving Dan a nickel. Not only was Emmett robbed of the profit of his songs, but its authorship was disputed. Will F. Hays claimed it as his own.
Pond brought the matter before a musical publishers' convention and settled the question of authorship; but Dan reaped no benefit from this tardy justice. Emmett got into trouble about his song during the war. It was considered a rebel song, and a sapient Maine editor declared Dan to be a "Secesh," and that he should be treated as one, although "Dixie" was written two years before the commencement of the war, and as originally written there was not a line that could be charged with any political bearing. The crowning popularity of this well-known ditty was secured in New Orleans in the spring of 1861, when Mrs. John Wood played an engagement at the Varieties Theatre. "Pocahontas," by John Brougham, was the attraction, and in the last scene a zouave march was introduced. Carlo Patti, brother of Adalina Patti, was the leader of the orchestra. At the rehearsal Carlo was at a loss as to what air to appropriate.
Trying several, he finally hit upon "Dixie." Tom McDonough shouted:" That will do--the very thing; play it to-night." Mrs. John Wood, Mark Smith, Loftingwell, and John Owens were delighted. Night came, the Zouaves marched on, led by Miss Susan Denin, singing "I wish I was in Dixie." The audience became wild with delight and seven encores were demanded. Soon after the war broke out. The Washington Artillery had the tune arranged for a quickstep by Romoe Meneri. The saloons, the parlors, the streets rang with the" Dixie" air, and "Dixie" became to the South what the "Marsellaise" is to France.
Now, to support what I state: Niel Bryant is now in Washington holding some government office; he ought to be able to back up what I say, as he was a member of his brother's company when it was first produced, and Colonel Alston Brown, of New York, is generally considered authority in all matters pertaining to the history of the show world in the United States. Dan Emmett is a native of Ohio and is of German descent. I, together with R. M. Hooley, got him up a benefit in Chicago. John McCullough, Joe Emmett, and a host of volunteers appeared at a matinee, the result of which was over a thousand dollars. I do not credit that Dan is cutting wood, as he is an excellent fiddler and generally makes a living in that vocation. He is a very careful man and never was under the undue influence of liquor in his life.

Dartmouth day care: Where are the adults?EDITORIAL
April 26. 2013 12:43AM
We know that Dartmouth College is one of America's elite institutions of higher education, and not a day care center. Whether the faculty, staff and students know this is unclear.
Last Friday, Dartmouth held an event to welcome recently accepted students. It was crashed by a few protesters who shouted about the usual things protesters shout about: racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. The protesters had neither the cleverness nor the maturity to think of a more appropriate or more interesting way to focus attention on their complaints. Alas, the administration had neither the cleverness nor the maturity to punish them for this disruption.
Others took on that responsibility in an appallingly irresponsible way. According to the administration, someone used an online forum to threaten the protesters and make sexist, racist and homophobic comments. The administration called a faculty meeting, and the faculty voted, incredibly, to cancel Wednesday classes. In their place, the college offered the customary feel-good kumbayism: "teach-ins," a community gathering and a discussion led by a "social justice and diversity consultant," according to CNN. Imagine the social harmony if the police reacted this way to threats of violence.
Speaking of the police, the Dartmouth administration said the threats would be handled in-house, without involving law enforcement. So much for the idea that the online comments were a genuine threat to anyone. If they were, surely the police would be called. If not, then there was no reason to cancel classes.
Then again, who doesn't love a good teach-in?

Hinrich returns to Bulls in time for tough stretch
By Mike McGraw
The Bulls' injured point guard finally has completed his rehab and should be in the starting lineup Tuesday night in New Orleans.
Wait a second, better be more specific here -- Kirk Hinrich expects to be back on the floor after missing seven games with a right-elbow infection. The other guy is still out.
"It's definitely 100 percent," Hinrich said Monday at the Berto Center. "I was able to shoot all through the break, did some conditioning. It's good."
Nate Robinson has played well all season, but the Bulls do miss Hinrich's defense and slightly better assist-to-turnover ratio. The Bulls went 2-5 in the games Hinrich missed, although it was a road-heavy stretch against quality opponents.
"It's five-man offense, five-man defense. If one guy's not doing his job, everyone's going to look bad," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "It wasn't any one particular player; it's just that we had slippage.
"Our turnovers hurt us. So we were beating ourselves and that led to poor defensive transition."
When the Bulls were in Brooklyn preparing for the Feb. 1 game against the Nets, Hinrich returned to Chicago to have surgery on the elbow. This issue began when he tore the bursa sac in the elbow about a month ago.
"The feedback everybody was giving our trainers was there was a good chance it was going to get infected," Hinrich said. "It finally did and it got to the point where it was getting pretty bad.
"I was feeling terrible, starting to feel sick, couldn't bend my arm with the swelling, getting pretty nasty looking. (The surgeon) went in, took my bursa out, cleaned it out and sewed it back up."
The Bulls have another tough stretch coming out of the all-star break. New Orleans beat the Bulls early in the season without rookie Anthony Davis or shooting guard Eric Gordon.
Miami visits the United Center on Thursday, while road games loom in the next three weeks against Oklahoma City, Indiana, San Antonio, the Lakers and Golden State.
The Bulls' defense went sour before the break, other than an ugly 71-69 loss in Boston on Feb. 13.
"We had slippage," Thibodeau said. "The big thing is to get our level of intensity back up where it needs to be so we can execute at a high level and for us, that's paramount.
"We have to clean some things up offensively and defensively. But the biggest challenge is going to be the level of intensity, to get that back."
Luol Deng and Joakim Noah played in the All-Star Game, but for everyone else the weekend was a chance to rest and recharge.
"I think we've got a ways to go, but we're working hard," Noah said. "When we're right and we're playing the right way, we've proven we can beat anybody. We've proven if we don't come with the right attitude and play together, we can lose to anybody.
"It's on us to focus in. There's two months left before the playoffs start. It's on us to be ready for that."

LOS ANGELES — Your mutt isn't destined to be a movie star, therapy dog, bomb-sniffing expert, AKC champion or working K9?
No worries. He or she can still be a well-behaved pet. A basic obedience class is one way to do it. But a little home-schooling can do wonders.
Three veteran trainers were asked by The Associated Press to share the first five or six things they think every dog should know. The first thing on the list is so basic it's a wonder they even need to mention it.
"I am often amazed at how many animals do not know their names," said Lauren Henry, co-owner of Talented Animals, with offices in California and Oregon. She trains hundreds of animals for TV and film appearances every year and often teaches classes for other trainers and animal owners.
"They need to know their name so you can get their attention before the next command or bit of information. Dogs hear a lot of noise that they tune out, but when they hear their name they need to respond and look to the person for the rest of the information," she said.
Here are some other commands, how-to behaviors and skills that every dog should know, according to Henry and two other trainers — Jaime Van Wye, who founded Zoom Room, a social petworking club with franchises across the country, and Ron Davis, of Camarillo, Calif., a representative for Natural Balance Pet Foods known for his work with Tillman, his skateboarding English bulldog.
- Pay attention. Henry says this is "the behavior on which I spend the most time with any new animal. If they are not paying attention, none of the other commands will matter. After name recognition, they need to learn to keep their attention on the person and not get quickly distracted."
- Come. "The key is repetition and building up a strong reward history, letting the dog know good things happen when it comes," said Van Wye. "Don't call them when you know they won't come and if you are mad at the dog and when he gets there you are going to scold him. Make sure good things happen when the dog comes when called."
Henry said teaching a dog to come when called is "the single biggest lifesaver. Come away from distractions (danger) and come quickly."
Related to that, Davis said the biggest thing he teaches is "voice recognition. If you are with a bunch of people or around cars, your dog needs to learn you are the pack leader and your voice is his key to fun and safety."
- Down and/or sit. "You can keep your dog out of all sorts of trouble with these," Henry said. "Keep them from jumping on someone, from chasing. Your dog cannot get into trouble if it is lying next to you."
- Leave it. "It means stop paying attention to that, whatever that is," said Van Wye. "We teach it early and start with food. The dog gets rewarded when they pay attention to us. It works with things dogs find really distracting like other dogs, people, kids, bicycles, cars, cats, whatever the dog wants to pay attention to."
Henry says teaching the dog to drop something is also "vital if they have picked up something dangerous off the ground."
- Stay or wait. "Teaching a dog to wait at a door when it's being opened or wait in the vehicle when you open a car door and not bolt out is definitely critical for safety," said Henry. "Stay is important, but most people don't get the stay well enough trained that they should ever trust it in a critical situation. A leash is much safer than relying on a stay."
Van Wye also thinks teaching "wait is better than stay. Wait is like a pause button. I'm saying: 'Stop moving. You can go when I release you.' It's good for in and out of doorways, in and out of cars so they don't run into traffic, if you put their food down. Stay is a more formal command. Wait is hold on a second.
- Go to bed. Van Wye puts this at the top of her list. "It's a boundary stay," she said. "It works really well if you use a bath mat, an actual dog bed, some kind of hot spot. You tell the dog: 'You can't get off this. You can do circles, sit, lie down, stand up, turn around or do back flips. I don't care what you do, you just can't get off this.'"
She added: "It's a great command if you have more than one animal or if you have ordered pizza and don't want the dog on the table trying to steal it or have people over who don't like dogs."
- Let's go. "This is not a formal heel but an informal loose leash, a command to walk next to me and don't pull on the leash," Van Wye said. "I equate it to holding hands with a kid. You can smell, you can look, you can do your own thing as long as you respect that you are on a 6-foot leash and I don't want to have to be pulling you around."
You are training for lifestyle more than obedience, Van Wye advised. If you want to put the baby in a stroller and a leash on the dog and have coffee at Starbucks, you should be able to do it without the dog barking at people, pulling on the leash or causing a distraction, she said
- Socialization and play. "I don't want a dog that will fight or be aggressive," said Davis. "Socialization is greatly overlooked in the dog world." He added that owners should "let dogs know when it's a good time to play and when it's not a good time to play. Playtime is when a dog can be a dog and have his fun, you can let him pounce and do all the things that dogs do."
- Swim. "A dog should know how to swim so they don't panic in the water," Davis said.

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Science Education degree program and the MAT in Mathematics Education degree program are designed to enhance the content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers. Both programs share a set of core courses that allow students to explore knowledge common to both disciplines.
Students in science education or mathematics education can then collaborate to integrate science and mathematics education and to provide a better education for their students. Because many graduates of these MAT programs will rise to leadership positions such as department head or science and mathematics coordinator, the core courses provide fundamental skills in cognition, education research and assessment so that MAT graduates can evaluate educational strategies and thoughtfully advise their colleagues about them. The STEM content courses provide additional depth in specific science and mathematics content areas. Students may elect to write and defend a research-based thesis.
Both programs are designed for individuals with significant ability in a science or mathematics discipline and a serious commitment to teaching. They provide forward-looking opportunities for professional development for both new and experienced teachers.

CARSON, Calif. – On the day the summer transfer window opened, three new Designated Players made their entrance into Major League Soccer.
The Los Angeles Galaxy, however, were not involved with any of them.
On Thursday, the New York Red Bulls presented Thierry Henry in a press conference. Later in the day, Branko Boskovic made his debut for D.C. United while Seattle Sounders' latest acquisition, Blaise Nkufo, watched the game — a 1-0 Sounders win — from the bench.
"It's great," Arena said of Henry joining MLS. "I hope he's a good player in the league and he brings quality both on and off the field, and if he does that, he's a fabulous signing."
Though other clubs are grabbing the DP spotlight now, that does not mean the Galaxy are not pursuing a marquee player of their.
"It's something we always discuss, obviously, " Arena said. "Right now we only have one [available] DP, and that's Landon."
The club's other DP, David Beckham, is unavailable for selection after he ruptured his Achilles tendon in March. Though no date has been set, it's possible he'll return toward the end of the season.
"There's always talk about adding another if it's the right fit for our team if we can do it at the right time," Arena continued. "We're constantly exploring those possibilities. It's something that could happen this year or next year."
The Galaxy have been linked to numerous potential DPs, most of them Europe-based World Cup and international stars. While Arena did not go into specifics, he said there would be little on-the-field risk involved by adding a high-profile player to the team in the middle of the season, despite the Galaxy's cohesion.
"If it's a high-profile or quality player, I don't know why that would be a risk," Arena said. "That's the reason you bring in a player, because you believe he's going to make you better."
The Galaxy sit atop the league with an 11-2-3 record. Their 36 points are six more than the closest competitor in Real Salt Lake. If the Galaxy continue their play from the first half of the season, the club could break several MLS records, claim their second regular-season Western Conference title and make another run at MLS Cup.
If the Galaxy do take the plunge and use their available DP slot, Arena would expect immediate returns on the club's investment.
"If we're bringing in a player, it would be pretty foolish to bring in a player that's high-salaried that can't produce," he said. "That doesn't seem to make sense to me. He would have to be a player who can help your team. It may not happen in Game One but he would have to help your team in 2010 if you are going to bring him in mid-year, or else it makes no sense."

Mammoth Nordic hosts film festival, gets ready for cross country ski season
'Tis the season to get psyched.
Mammoth Nordic got the energy and anticipation flowing last weekend as the hosts of the "Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcoutry Film Festival: Celebrating the human powered experience."
There was the requisite eye-candy: the big names hucking big-on-big lines in interesting places you and I may never go (or for many locals: already have!)—but you sit, nonetheless, on the edge of your seat, eyes big and jaw slightly agape, thinking of your own big lines for this year.
But what really set this winter film festival apart were the films about the ordinary, extraordinary, heart-wrenching, and heart-warming.
There was the story of a world-class freeskier's accident that put him in a wheelchair—then a sit ski—only to become a champion sit ski racer and push the boundaries of possibility, eventually taking his chair into his beloved freeride terrain.
Then there was a short monologue from a pair of old friends skiing across the Alaska wilderness in a true adventure race, punctuated with comical shots of balloon-shaped, homemade down pants and the post-race beer that one racer almost fell asleep in, mid-conversation.
Brian Knox, the man behind it all, announced a few big changes for Mammoth Nordic this year: most notably, that he will be with them, now, in a full-time capacity.
"It was time to fire myself," Knox said, speaking of his day job, "and commit myself to taking the next step."
This year, he promises more groomed trails on the free Community Nordic Trail System at Shady Rest (find the trailhead at the Welcome Center!), and full-time staff presence on the trail system. His days will often start as early as 4 a.m. so the tracks are ready as soon as people arrive.
But the trail-grooming, Knox explained, is only the tip of the iceberg of what Mammoth Nordic is up to.
As a Nordic advocacy group, the foundation is busy establishing permissions for their projects and getting the word out via fundraiser events.
The film festival announced the start of this year's raffle: a trip to the Sun Valley Nordic Festival, in Sun Valley, Idaho. Holding the title of Nordic Town, USA, the idea is to send the lucky winners on an expenses-paid vacation to Sun Valley, a community with a thriving Nordic trail system and a strong cross-country ski culture.
Last year's winners won a trip to the Methow Valley in Washington, another epic cross-country ski destination.
Knox also announced they will be starting SnowSchool this January, where they will be taking more than 100 first graders from Mammoth Lakes on snowshoe adventures, teaching them the wonders of winter ecology and quiet winter sports: all equipment (and snacks!) provided by Mammoth Nordic.
All of this for the simple idea, "that making our town a better place to live is the simplest way to make it a better place to visit."

Hello from the National Genealogy Conference in Salt Lake City! I am learning a ton about Irish genealogy sources and will share in this blog in the coming weeks what I am learning here. But I could not wait to blog about one OUTRAGEOUS source for Irish family historians that I learned about this afternoon at a workshop by David Rencher: the OUTRAGE PAPERS. These papers were compilations of local offenses and crimes committed by the "unruly" Irish natives. The reports were collected and then sent daily to the Chief Secretary of Ireland. Not only did the papers help the British government to keep an eye on crime, but, more importantly for the British rulers, the reports helped them to identify potential uprisings or areas of political agitation.
The good news for Irish family historians is that these papers covered the whole of Ireland and have survived the misfortunes that other Irish records have suffered. Timewise, they cover the first half of the 1800's.
Now, don't put your nose in the air and claim your ancestors could never have been named in a criminal report! Don't forget that many of the "crimes" of that period were often considered acts of Irish patriotism by the native Irish. Other "crimes" were offenses commited by desperate poor and hungry persons. Some of the "crimes" reported in the Outrage Papers were quite peculiar, such as a woman eloping with a servant! Others include stealing sheep, assaulting a "better," or attacking the "big house." Prison riots were noted, as were the common murders, assaults, and thefts.
These papers are fulll of details about the offenses. Names and locations and dates are included, along with the townlands of the perpetrators and the victims. So, you might discover that your family tree includes a victim of a crime, as well as a "perp."
Currently, a trip to Dublin or London is required to view these papers, which are kept by the Archives of Ireland and of Britain.

Portland, Oregon...
I made this lovely blouse from McCalls 6650 pattern in silk charmeuse. I used view A with the long sleeves of view C. I used french seams throughout, even for the arm hole/sleeve seam (the first time for me doing a french seam in the armhole, but I will be doing this technique again for sure in the future). I made an extra button hole on the back neck placket, for extra support here, plus I love the vintage 1940's German glass buttons I bought for this blouse at Button Emporium in Portland, Oregon. and I had an extra button. I love this pattern and style, however, it did gobble up a great deal of fabric, over 3 yards, as the neck tie piece is quite wide and long, and cut out twice on the bias. I love my new luxe blouse, and plan to make a nice skirt or two to wear with this.
Update: Threads Magazine (Tauton Press) asked to feature this very blouse, my blouse, on their monthly regular print magazine spread, "Insiders Closet" coming soon. Threads Magazine! Sorry Burda, gotta grab this one :)

So glamorous for this festive season. you look beautiful. the satin silk is perfect for the blouse. I didn't know you could do French seams on an armhole. I will try it next time. did you have to snip it around before pressing?

Thank you Kirsten! I didn't know it either, then I googled it and found a tutorial on doing a French seam in the armhole. I did it by sewing the wrong sides of the armhole and the sleeve together first at about 3/8 of an inch, pressed the stitches, trimmed them down, turned the sleeve to the inside, pressed the seams flat together right sides together, then slowly and carefully sewed again at about 1/4 inch, "feeling" for the seam allowance underneath and sewing right next to it. It came out beautifully!

2005 Women's Rowing Championships: Day
2005 Women's Rowing Championships: Day ThreeMay 29, 2005
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. -- Under partly cloudy skies and a light breeze at the CSUS Aquatic Center, Cal placed first in the varsity eight grand final and captured the team title to win its first-ever Div. I national championship at the third and final day of the 2005 NCAA Women's Rowing Championships Sunday morning. Cal's best finish prior to this year was a third-place finish in 2002.
Cal's 67 points in the team standings edged Virginia (63), Brown (49), Ohio State (42), Princeton (39), Harvard (39), Yale (38), Michigan (35), Washington (31), Michigan State (27), USC (25) and Wisconsin (13). Virginia placed first in both the varsity four and second varsity eight grand finals, but its fourth-place finish in the varsity eight (three spots behind Cal) allowed the Bears to pass them up for the team title. Cal, which placed second in the second varsity eight grand final and fourth in the varsity four grand final, entered the championships ranked first in the nation after winning its second-straight Pacific-10 Conference championships two weeks ago at Lake Natoma. Virginia entered the regatta ranked seventh in the nation.
In the Div. II category, Western Washington captured its first national title, easily placing first in both the varsity four and varsity eight grand finals. Western Washington finished as the runner-ups in both 2002 and 2003, before winning the crown today. The Vikings (20 points) finished ahead of Mercyhurst (12 points), Nova Southeastern (11 points) and Florida Tech (seven points). Since Div. II began running a separate championship in 2002, Western Washington's eight-point margin of victory was the largest over that four-year span. This year's runner-up, Mercyhurst won the national title last season by one point over Humboldt State.
Ithaca won the Div. III national championship yesterday for the second-straight year, finishing ahead of Smith, Trinity, Puget Sound, Williams and Colby.
Cal, which was making its eighth appearance in the nine-year history of the NCAA Rowing Championships, scored 36 points in the varsity eight competition, 22 points in the second varsity eight competition and nine points in the varsity four for its total of 67 points. The Bears' winning time of 6:20.74 in the varsity eight grand final was the fastest time of any race during the three-day regatta.
Virginia, which is one of four crews to advance to the NCAA Championships all nine years, matched its best finish at the regatta (the Cavaliers were also runner-ups in 1999). Brown, which has won four national titles (including last year's championship), has now finished at least third in the team standings at all nine NCAA Rowing Championship events.
In the Div. I varsity eight grand final, Cal's time of 6:20.74 was faster than Princeton (6:22.80), Harvard (6:23.86), Virginia (6:24.22), Yale (6:25.89) and Ohio State (6:26.96). In the varsity eight petite final, Brown won with a time of 6:24.65, followed by Tennessee, Michigan, USC, Stanford and Washington, respectively.
In the Div. I varsity four grand final, Virginia raced to a 2,000-meter winning time of 7:18.42, followed by Brown (7:20.08), Washington (7:20.15), Cal (7:22.49), Wisconsin (7:23.53) and USC (7:25.26). In the varsity four petite final, Michigan won with a time of 7:25.4, followed by Michigan State, Yale, Ohio State, Princeton and Harvard, respectively.
Virginia also captured the second varsity eight grand final championship with a time of 6:34.19. Behind Virginia were Cal (6:36.48), Brown (6:38.98), Ohio State (6:40.60), Michigan State (6:40.69) and Michigan (6:47.39). In the second varsity eight petite final, Washington posted a first-place time of 6:38.24, followed by Yale, Harvard, USC, Princeton and Wisconsin, respectively.
In the Div. II varsity eight grand final, Western Washington's 2000-meter time of 6:48.72 was faster than second-place Nova Southeastern (6:55.91), Mercyhurst (6:59.92) and Barry (7:07.35). The Vikings won the varsity four grand final with a time of 7:46.82, more than 20 seconds faster than second-place Mercyhurst (8:07.78) and Florida Tech (8:09.34). Mercyhurst earned national runner-up honors by finishing second in the varsity four grand final and third in the varsity eight grand final.
In the Div. II varsity eight petite final, UC San Diego (7:02.24) beat Florida Tech (7:05.68). Both Barry and UC San Diego were at-large selections and did not score points towards the team championship.
Head Coach John Fuchs: "Weve been the bridesmaids for way too long (in reference to two second-place finishes at the NCAA Championships), and to be able to finally break through is a great feeling.
"You cant ask for anything more than what our teams did on the water today. They have performed well all season and to come here and peak and perform to perfection - hats off to them.
"This is the best venue in the country and I know we have to move it around, but we always feel like we are at home. The people here run a real quality event and everybody has been great."
Lindsay Mann-King: "Were very excited about winning our first championship. We put in a lot of hard work, came out here and got the job done."
Kailyn McGrath: "I think in every race, we consistently got better and it showed. We were confident and calm and I think that is what really got us through to the end."
Megan Smith: "At the beginning of the season, we set this goal. Last year, it was to win Pac-10s, and this year, it was to win the NCAA championship. Every practice, we learned to race our own race and how to reach that goal.
"Ultimately everyone was more focused then I have ever seen the team and we were completely together, calm and controlled. You could tell from all our races today, we were always racing our own race."
Candice Rediger: "The road here took a lot of hard work and a lot of dedication. Everyone has been really focused all year and willing to put in the work.
"The last three days have been really intense. It has been a calm and confident feeling, but everyone knew what they had to do and we got the job done."
Head Coach Dave ONeill: "Coming into this year, the goal was to win the NCAA championship. The main thing was to treat every day and every race the same. We dont need to do anything differently on race day than we do every day in practice. This team really took that to heart. This particular crew, every day in practice, they never had a bad day. They kept on challenging themselves and holding everyone to a high standard.
"There have been a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff going on the last three days, because of a health issue with our varsity crew and that affects everybody. It has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster, but my job has been to keep everyone focused on what they need to do and only worry about themselves."

Bose® SoundLink® Wireless Mobile speaker review
Fun on the go
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
I recently had the chance to check out the Bose® SoundLink® Wireless Mobile speaker. The first thing that caught my eye was that it can be completely wireless — it connects to a phone via Bluetooth® and has a built-in rechargeable battery. Knowing that, I was excited to hear how the SoundLink sounded.
The speaker is about as long as a pad of paper (it's sitting next to one on my desk right now) and just a couple inches deep, so it fit most places — on a kitchen table, a bookshelf, or the rail of our gazebo outside at work. A neat extra: Bose includes a cover with the SoundLink and it flips down to become a stand for the speaker.
Bluetooth® by Bose®
If your phone, tablet, or computer has built-in Bluetooth, you can make a wireless connection to the SoundLink. A minijack audio input on the back of the speaker lets you make a conventional wired connection if your device doesn't have built-in Bluetooth.
|No, this isn't my desk. But this photo does give you a good idea of just how little desktop space it took up.
At first, I used my iPhone® with the SoundLink. Pairing it was easy. I turned Bluetooth on in my phone's menu and selected the SoundLink from the list of compatible devices. Within just a few seconds, the SoundLink was playing audio from my phone. And I wasn't limited to the actual music files that are stored on my phone, tablet or computer.
I queued up apps and music services — like Spotify®, my new favorite — and sent that audio out to the SoundLink. If I'd gotten to keep the SoundLink forever, I could see using the Bluetooth streaming function to get better audio from movies on my iPad®, too.
The SoundLink would be great to travel with because of its compact size and rechargeable battery. It'd be a great addition to a beach trip, camping weekend, or even a picnic — we used it to listen to music in a gazebo on our Crutchfield campus. That said, I did most of my SoundLink testing indoors and I loved being able to leave my iPhone in my pocket and control playback of the SoundLink across the room.
The listening test and the results
Whether I was listening to music in my living room or kitchen, the SoundLink performed well — filling each room with detailed sound. I listened to the Civil Wars whose music is packed with beautiful harmonies, acoustic guitar, piano, and soft drums. The SoundLink really allowed the singers' vocals to shine through — their harmonies played out clearly and airily around my home. On the low end, the SoundLink still delivered a wide soundstage where I could almost pinpoint where the drumbeats were coming from.
The Bose® SoundLink® Wireless Mobile speaker delivers a solid audio performance. When I combine that with the Bluetooth capability and rechargeable battery, this becomes an iPod (phone, tablet, and computer) speaker that'll work well in an office, in a home, and at a tailgate party.

SPENCER � Teaching children how to properly show cattle has been a distinctive part of the 4-H experience.
And the 64th annual Worcester County 4-H Fair provides spectators the opportunity to get within touching distance of animals large and small.
Today's events, from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., include horse, swine, goat, and dairy cattle shows, a corn-shucking contest, a fashion revue, and the chicken barbecue.
A signature event includes auctioning off all the winning baked goods.
That starts at 2:30 p.m. today and will include the county's best-baked apple pie by a youngster.
Allyson Graves, 11, a member of the Uxbridge 4-H club, is this year's pie champion.
The county fair's commodity chairman, Diane Samuelson, said she expects the Graves apple pie to fetch a pretty penny.
"I can't tell you how much that pie's going to sell for," she said.
All proceeds fund the county 4-H programs. Mrs. Samuelson is also the New Braintree 4-H club leader.
Isaiah French, 12, was having a tough time in the show ring with Stephanie � but his 800-pound Belted Galloway that is also part Black Angus won him a blue ribbon.
"It's fun but hard," Mr. French of Lancaster said.
Prior to the show he spent a half-hour washing Stephanie's black and white coat, then another hour was needed for him to painstakingly brush her down. The blue ribbon winner said "how I groomed her" enabled him to win first prize in the beef cattle junior division.
Peggy Corbett, 52, is the Lancaster 4-H leader. She instructs 40 children ages 7 to 18. In addition to animal husbandry and baking, her students learn how to sew and become proficient at canning.
Ms. Corbett's mother passed away when she was 18 � but not before she trained her daughter to become expert at canning.
"This is my way of remembering her," Ms. Corbett said.
She runs a side-business, called Peg's Preserves, that features 32 jams. The most popular are banana bread jam and pina colata jam.
Bo Fritz, 60, of Spencer won a red ribbon, earning him second place in the 9,000-pound tractor pull division. He rides a 1956 John Deere 720 2-cylinder diesel sporting 56 horsepower.
Mr. Fritz said he hopes to take home first prize at next weekend's Spencer Fair.

I wouldn't want to add a "source" suffix > there. I understand your concerns. I assumed that changing the names in the channels.conf would be the best in order to make also the plugins and other software use the names+source for free. Moreover, since the channels.conf can be constantly updated, I thought that it would not really matter, because the names without source could be restored in the channels.conf by simply disabling the new option and configure the update setting to also modify the channelnames. I was not aware that there was a standard for the broadcasting of the channelnames; but it does not surprise me either now. > However, I could imagine adding a function like > > cString cChannel::NameWithSource(void) > > which would return things like > > ZDF (DVB-T) > ZDF (DVB-S) > > or, shorter, > > ZDF (T) > ZDF (S) > > and using that function instead of the Name() function at the > appropriate places. If I get you right, that means that if the user activates the new option (I assume that you will make it optional, since most people probably use only one source and do not have the problem), the VDR uses the NameWithSource() method instead of the Name() method. But what does this mean for the plugins? I am particularly thinking at the plugins related to the timers, like the epgsearch and the live plugin. Will they have to be adapted or will they also show the name+source if the new option is enabled? Concerning whether to use the longer or the shorter version of the name+source, I would choose the shorter version to not increase chances of the new name not fitting in the OSD. Thus: ZDF (S) ZDF (T) ZDF (C) > > In case, I am missing something, I would also like to ask everybody > > reading this to let us know, if for any reason, the idea about > > replacing the channelnames with channelname-source cannot work. > > Well, it could work all right.

In any case, I am grateful for anything you will do to improve the VDR for people receiving channels from different sources.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Al Pacino-led revival of "Glengarry Glen Ross" on Broadway has plenty to be happy about this Christmas.
Producers said Wednesday that the show, which marks the 30th anniversary of David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the backbiting world of salesmen, has recouped its $3.3 million investment.
The cast also includes Bobby Cannavale, Jeremy Shamos, John C. McGinley, David Harbour and Richard Schiff. Reviews were mostly positive when the play opened Dec. 8, or at least were far better than a new Mamet play that closed quickly this fall, "The Anarchist."
The success of "Glengarry Glen Ross" is a bright spot in an otherwise bleak season that has seen "The Producers," "The Anarchist," and Kathie Lee Gifford's "Scandalous" all open and close quickly.

Injection Drug Use Helps Drive HIV/AIDS in Africa
May 6, 2011
Adapted from:
In many countries experiencing a stabilizing of HIV incidence, the proportion of injection drug use (IDU)-related infections is increasing, say researchers with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington.
The problem is evident in sub-Saharan Africa, where heroin routes have expanded. The uptick in African IDU-related infections is traceable to the late 1990s, when "white" heroin became available in East Africa.
"I think the whole question of [IDU] and HIV prevention has been one that's really under-resourced and not really paid adequate attention to, either from a policy or a programmatic point of view," said Lisa Carty, co-author of a CSIS report on the problem.
Epidemiological data of the type needed for planning and effective treatment and prevention programs remain patchy, says the CSIS report.
Coastal areas such as Mombasa, Zanzibar, and Dar es Salaam "have become more and more an entry point for drug trafficking out of the South Asia region, in through Africa and then, very often, up through Europe and on to the United States," Carty said.
Women are especially at risk, since "many women who inject drugs turn to sex as a way of raising money to buy drugs," said report co-author Dr. Phil Nieberg, senior associate with Global Health Policy Center. "So there's an overlap between sex work and drug use." Ironically, even male IDUs disparage female drug injectors, he said.
Treating addiction as a disease rather than a crime could encourage more addicts to seek help, Nieberg and Carty said. Counseling, needle-exchange programs, and methadone maintenance treatment could be a part of that, they said. Law enforcement efforts tend to push IDUs further away from care and treatments, a situation that affects sex workers as well as men who have sex with men.

Coffee at the Crossroads of Law and Science
Business challenges wax and wane – sometimes stiffer, sometimes less tough. They come in many forms and from different sources. After all, they're part of, well, business.
For coffee, though, there's a new breed of challenge that's upping the ante. It's a hybrid of sorts, kind of a cross between food safety and product liability.
Like most consumables, coffee comes from an agricultural product that must be processed into a safe and wholesome product. The process involves import/export, transportation, cooking, packaging and delivery. Problems can arise in one or more of these areas, and each step attracts government oversight and action in the interest of protecting public safety and health.
Recently, however, steady advances in scientific methods are fueling new legal and regulatory attention and action, giving rise to the new breed of business challenge. Science and law are becoming flip sides of the same regulatory coin, creating new potential liabilities and more complex compliance demands.
This conflation of law and science is putting serious pressures on coffee companies. They are getting sued under California's Proposition 65 for a previously undetectable substance, acrylamide, which is naturally formed in the cooking process. They are struggling to comply with unfolding new federal regulations under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to prevent foodborne illness, taking them into the weeds of food science and technology. And, with advancing techniques, scientists continue to "chase zero" to find minute molecular structures that happen to spell out still new chemical compounds in many foods.
Law & Science Symposium
It's a mounting issue that will only get bigger over time. How can industry members prepare? By gaining at least a working knowledge of the science and the law, and how these two otherwise disparate disciplines overlap to challenge business. An MBA alone will no longer go the distance without at least some a little Ph.D. and Esq. blended in.
NCA works hard to keep its members and the entire U.S. coffee industry up to speed and ahead of the curve. That's why we're prefacing the 2013 NCA Convention with a special Symposium to help bridge the gap. Coffee at the Crossroads of Science and Law will bring together prominent industry scientists and attorneys to help attendees understand the essentials of science and law for navigating the new challenges.
Coffee at the Crossroads of Science and Law will cover challenges arising from California's Proposition 65 and its application to acrylamide as well as other heat-formed toxicants already uncovered and still others yet to be detected and regulated. The symposium will also detail the complex new requirements of the Food Safety and Modernization Act, such as recently released draft regulations on hazard assessment and preventive controls that many say go beyond the original statutory mandate. The symposium will also cover how and to what extent health claims run afoul of legal and regulatory dictates.
Coffee at the Crossroads of Science and Law will be held on Thursday, March 21, 2013 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The 2013 NCA Convention carries on from March 21 to 23 also at the Palace. Registration is now open.
Knowledge as Guide
The challenges posed by science-based legal and regulatory action will only increase over time. Scientists will inevitably uncover more heat-formed toxicants and other chemical traces in foods, and public policy will undoubtedly keep pace with laws and regulations to uphold food safety and integrity. For coffee companies and other food manufacturers finding their way around the crisscrossing maze of compliance, knowledge will be their most sure-footed guide.

Rice n' Cheese
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Sometimes my best culinary creations have been discovered by accident. This recipe came to me one afternoon when I set out to make a sweet, old-fashioned favorite – rice pudding. As I smelled the milk and rice swirling in the pot, I wanted to dive into a big bowl of mac n' cheese. I changed direction altogether and ended up with what I like to call "rice n' cheese" (accidental rice pudding). I served it the next day for breakfast with fried eggs and prosciutto, but it could also be a great side dish for crispy fried chicken. What's more? It's a tasty mac n' cheese compromise for those who can't tolerate gluten and don't feel like cooking with gluten-free pasta. Enjoy! —SunnySideUp (lesley829)
Serves: 2-4 (as side dish)
1/4 - 1/2
head of garlic
olive oil, for drizzling
cup arborio rice
cups skim milk
tablespoon butter
tablespoons grated white cheddar
tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
kosher salt
cracked pepper
tablespoons snipped chives, for garnish
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut off about ½ inch from the top of the garlic head, just enough so you can see the tops of the cloves. Pour a healthy drizzle of olive oil over the tops of the cloves.
- Cover with foil and roast in oven for roughly 40 minutes. Once cloves are cool enough to handle, squeeze them out from their skins and mince. Reserve until later.
- Heat milk in medium saucepan until smoking.
- Add rice and bring to a low boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until milk is absorbed (about one hour), making sure to stir frequently.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, garlic, butter and enough salt and pepper to your liking.
- Garnish with snipped chives.

Police: Crash victim believed to have had stroke
A West Point man was airlifted to a Jackson hospital following a Friday morning crash in Starkville and did not die, contrary to prior reports.
Vincent O. Tubbs, 44, of 1972 Bayless Drive, West Point, is believed to have suffered a stroke just before the crash occurred on Highway 12 East at the Spring Street intersection shortly before 8 a.m. Friday.
Starkville Police Department officials initially reported that Tubbs had died following the crash, but family members reported Tuesday that he had been airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
Tubbs is continuing to be treated there, his family members said.
According to preliminary accident reports, Tubbs was headed east on Highway 12 in a silver 2003 Ford F150 pickup when he struck a black 2004 Dodge Ram pickup driven by Samuel C Jenkins, 22, of Benton.
Jenkins' Ram was stopped at the intersection by a red traffic light when Tubbs' F150 struck his rear bumper, knocking it diagonally through the intersection and onto the shoulder of the road on the south side of Highway 12 in front of the Hampton Inn.
Tubbs' pickup traveled beyond Jenkins' vehicle, coming to rest in the ditch along the east side of the roadway.
Though the accident remains under investigation, it is believed Tubbs' stroke resulted in his loss of control of the F150, SPD officials said.
Jenkins and two passengers in his pickup were not injured in the crash. All three were wearing safety belts.
Editor's note: The Daily News staff apologizes for the incorrect reporting regarding the initial story on the crash and is glad to set the record straight.

Large view is best, please click on it:)
This image of a Lynx was captured about 40 km south of Whitehorse, Yukon. A nocturnal species of the boreal forest, they are rarely seen. Unfortunately this year, their main food, the Snowshoe Hare is at the bottom of an 8-10 year cycle and scarce. The Lynx are hungry and forced to move constantly in search of a meal. Talk about an 'attitude problem', this one looked at me as if to size me up for a meal as he passed. He was on a frozen lake trying to cross when he saw a group of skiers and dogs on the other side, forcing him to turn around and come back right past me. I was in the forest on the lake shore, having just recovered from falling in a deep snow drift over my excitement at possibly photographing a Lynx.
Lynx have a silver-grey coat in winter that is highly prized by trappers. In summer their coat is more orangy-brown. Note the short tail, the beard, ear-tufts, wide hairy paws that act as snow-shoes and the long rear legs that aid in pouncing on their prey. The longer tufts on the ears and tail colouration help differentiate the Lynx from their southern cousins, the Bobcat.

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) is a program that can help you lower cholesterol. The lifestyle changes include diet, exercise, weight loss, and not smoking. Your doctor will want you to follow TLC even if you are taking cholesterol-lowering medicine. And medicine will work better if you have healthy habits.
This program is recommended by the National Cholesterol Education Program of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.footnote 1
People have varying degrees of success in lowering their cholesterol by changing their diets. Those who are most successful using diet changes to lower their cholesterol are those who lose excess weight. Diet changes are usually the first step in lowering cholesterol before medicines are added.
The diet's main focus is to reduce the amount of saturated fat you eat, because saturated fat elevates your cholesterol. You can reduce the saturated fat in your diet by limiting the amount of meat and whole milk products you eat. Choose low-fat products from those food groups instead. Replace most of the animal fat in your diet with unsaturated fat, especially monounsaturated oils, such as olive, canola, or peanut oil. If monounsaturated fat is substituted for saturated fat, it lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol and keeps HDL ("good") cholesterol up.
The TLC diet recommends that you eat specific amounts of different types of foods. These amounts are sometimes a percentage of your total calorie intake for each day.
Avoid trans fat. Foods with trans fats include some vegetable shortening, crackers, cookies, and packaged snack foods.

Choose snacks that are low in fat or are made with unsaturated fat.
Your doctor or dietitian might recommend that you add soluble fiber or a cholesterol-lowering margarine to your diet. These might help you lower LDL cholesterol. Soluble fiber is found in foods like oats, beans, and fruit. Cholesterol-lowering margarines contain plant stanols and sterols.
Here is a sample one-day menu. The menu contains approximately 2,200 calories, with 25% of calories from total fat (5% from saturated fat, 13% from monounsaturated fat, and 7% from polyunsaturated fat).

While being awake at (for me) an unreasonable hour, I came across this post on UT99.org:
Which links to an article here describing the latest breach of salted passwords:
Quoting the pertinent part:
Information on some 808,000 Unreal Engine and Unreal Tournament forum accounts, including email addresses, birth dates, and private messages, have been stolen from Epic Games.
Salted passwords were breached for accounts active since July last year used on older game forums including legacy Unreal Tournament titles, Gears of War, and Infinity Blade.
The breach occurred thanks to an SQL injection hole in an outdated version of vBulletin, ZDNet reports.
Que the headaches for those re-using passwords... Stay safe, friends.

Research and public service are critical components of the UC Hastings mission. All the centers work in cutting-edge or innovative areas of the law and provide opportunities for students and practitioners to work together and collaborate. UC Hastings faculty and center staffs share their results with the legal community through special programs, events, and reports.
The Center for Gender and Refugee Studies
The Center for Gender and Refugee Studies (CGRS) founded in 1999, is the nation's leading advocacy organization on the issue of women asylum-seekers fleeing gender-related violence. CGRS provides legal expertise and resources to attorneys and coordinates legal and national public policy advocacy efforts. The center integrates students and international scholars into all aspects of its work.
The Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution
The Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (CNDR). As lawyers turn to negotiation, mediation, and arbitration to settle matters that previously were adjudicated, the need has increased for attorneys to master dispute resolution. CNDR organizes classes, research, and professional programs for the study of alternative ways to settle disputes.
The Center for WorkLife Law
The Center for WorkLife Law (WLL) seeks to jump-start the stalled gender revolution by focusing, at any given time, on a few projects that hold the promise of producing concrete social or institutional change within a three-to-five year time frame. We concentrate our efforts on advancing women's leadership, developing legal protections for employees with family responsibilities, and promoting better work-life policies within institutions. Our current initiatives include programs and best practices for advancing women leaders, case studies on major law firm rainmakers and new models of legal practice, research on how gender bias differs by race, and an innovative working group on pregnancy accommodation.
UCSF/UC Hastings Consortium on Law, Science & Health Policy
UCSF/UC Hastings Consortium on Law, Science & Health Policy is dedicated to promoting research, education, and service opportunities that bridge the gap between law and science. To a large extent, scientists and health care professionals operate largely insulated from one another, both in their formal training and their daily practice. Increasingly, the demands of modern law and science require a sophisticated understanding of the other's form and function. Lawyers and scientists can no longer continue to work in isolation. Instead, they must be well-versed in one another's vocabulary and their practices need to be integrated. The UCSF/UC Hastings Consortium was founded to promote this collaboration.

Florida hangs on against Albany
Gators extend win streak to 14 games with 6-4 victory
Florida extended its winning steak to 14 on Saturday, outlasting the Albany's offensive stall technique in a 6-4 victory in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The Gators are now 2-0 in NCAA first-round competition, and will move on to host fellow ALC member Penn State next Saturday in the NCAA Quarterfinals. With the win Florida improves to 18-2, while UAlbany finishes the season at 12-6.

"Credit Albany for just a fantastic job today," Head Coach Amanda O'Leary said. "They came in here with a ton of heart. They were scrappy. John [Battaglino] came in with a team that was incredibly prepared to play. So credit Albany for a great game.
"I'm really proud of our kids as well. I think they came out and they competed. I don't think everything went as we had scripted, but still competed hard, played hard, and came out with a win."
Shannon Gilroy followed her outstanding performance against Northwestern with another solid outing in the midfield, leading the Gators with five draw controls and two goals, and helping UF to earn a 10-2 advantage on draws. Kitty Cullen put up a goal and an assist, and Nora Barry, Brittany Dashiell and Nicole Graziano each added a goal.
The Gators defense was lights out once again, holding its opponent to single digits for the 16th time this season. Kayla Stolins led the charge with three of the Gators' 10 caused turnovers, marking the third consecutive game in which Florida caused at least 10 turnovers. Mikey Meagher held firm in the cage, making five saves while allowing just four goals.
Jess Antelmi led the Great Danes with three of UAlbany's five points, notching two goals and an assist. Mel Rorie caused three turnovers for the Great Danes, and Anna Berman made three saves, allowed six goals, and tabbed a game-leading five ground balls.
Nora Barry won the opening draw, and just 36 seconds into the postseason, Ashley Bruns passed up to Barry at the top of the arc, who drove through the UAlbany defense and buried the ball in the back of the net.
Florida won the next draw, but a turnover created by Anna Berman gave UAlbany its first possession, which the Great Danes intended to hold onto. Throughout the entire game, UA took its time with the ball on offense, maintaining the ball for several minutes at a time without making a direct move to the goal.
"It was a great gameplan, clearly," O'Leary said. "They were able to maintain possession. They worked for the perfect shot and a bunch of times they were able to convert on it. I think it's a great game plan. It worked."
Trailing 1-0, the Great Danes held the ball for more than six minutes, before a foul in the arc sent Ariana Parker to the line on free position. Meagher made her first save of the day, and soon the ball was back in UF's hands.
The Gators did not waste any time once the ball was in their possession, and just 11 seconds after the successful clear, Bruns found Dashiell right in front of the net, sending a one-timer into the cage for goal number two at 22:18.
The Great Danes continued to slow down the pace of the game, but midway through the first half, the Gators were able to score two quick goals. At 16:35, Cullen found Gilroy in the middle, who ducked an attacker's stick, pulled off a spin move through a double team, and while still maintaining possession, found the back of the net. Nicole Graziano then beat out a one-on-one run from the 30 just over two minutes later, to give Florida an early 4-0 lead.
UAlbany's defense succeeded in keeping Florida off the board for the remaining 14 minutes of the half, and with 11:28 to go in the period, Jess Antelmi was able to drive the ball around the goal circle and bounced in the Great Danes' first goal of the afternoon.
Ariana Parker won the opening draw of the second half, and after a scoreless 13-and-a-half minutes of play, Antelmi sent a one-timer to Amanda Pollock, who cut Florida's lead to two, 4-2.
Haydon Judge won the ensuing draw, and after nearly 30 minutes without a Gator goal, Shannon Gilroy netted a free-position goal at 15:19. Less than two minutes later, Cullen drove in from out to the left, splitting a strong defensive attempt, to net her first goal of the afternoon and put Florida back ahead by four, 6-2.
Florida continued to dominate on the draw, but UAlbany's patient possessions kept the ball out of Florida's prolific attackers' sticks.
"When they do that, it is really important to continue talking to each other," said junior defender Sam Farrell, "keeping the energy up and continue working for each other. [We] just need to know at any minute they are going to get us in a lull and they are trying to slow us down and at any minute they can go to goal. We just have to be ready for that."
As the clocked ticked down, the Great Danes' patience continued to pay off, as UA worked at chipping away at Florida's lead. Ariana Parker netted a free-position goal at 7:29, and with 4:23 remaining in regulation, Antelmi bounced in her second goal of the day to cut the score to 6-4.
The final four minutes of the game had a differerent rhythm, as the Great Danes needed to speed up their attack and play with a greater sense of urgency. However, this resulted in a combined five turnovers and just one shot, by Florida's Shannon Gilroy, and as the clock ran to zero, UF came out on top with a final score of 6-4.
The Gators return to action Saturday, May 19, to host ALC rival Penn State, which defeated No. 8 Towson on Saturday, in the NCAA quarterfinals. It marks the second consecutive season that Florida has hosted both of the first two rounds. Florida will be in search of its first national semifinals appearance when the opening whistle blows at 12:30 p.m.

Jerry Sandusky moved from county jail to state prison
CAMP HILL, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky became a state prison inmate Tuesday with his transfer out of the Centre County jail, his home since he was convicted in June of child molestation.
The 68-year-old former Penn State assistant coach arrived early in the morning at the State Correctional Institute at Camp Hill, just outside Harrisburg, a state prison system spokeswoman said.
He faces testing and evaluation that will take a week or more before he can be assigned a security risk level and sent to one of the state facilities as his "home" prison.
At Camp Hill, experts will assess his mental state, physical health and education level, and determine whether he needs treatment.
Sandusky was sentenced this month to 30 to 60 years for sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period. He has repeatedly asserted his innocence and last week filed post-sentencing motions, seeking to have convictions thrown out or a new trial.
There are about 6,800 sex offenders serving time in Pennsylvania's prison system. The Corrections Department does not maintain special units for sex offenders, and there is no way to predict where he will be sent.
