text: The art of Jacques-Louis David is a prime example of Neoclassicism, a style of history painting that flourished in France during the late 18th- and early 19th-centuries. Reacting against the highly ornamented and florid art of the Rococo, David drew upon subjects from ancient European history and Classical civilizations, such as in the Death of Socrates (1787) and Oath of the Horatii (1784). From King Louis XVI's execution during the French Revolution through the fall of Napoleon's reign, David painted some of France's most important historical figures, including royalty, radical revolutionaries (as in Death of Marat (1783)), to Emperor Napoleon himself (as in The Coronation of Napoleon (1805-07). Although David died in exile, his legacy was passed on to generations of artists, including his student Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.

Urban Meyer press conference news
- Written by MATT HAMMOND
There were several items of note coming out of Urban Meyer's first weekly press conference of the season Monday.
I am going to have a detailed article for Tuesday's paper, but here are some of the main things that were discussed:
* Reid Fragel has won the starting job at right tackle, for at least this week. A former tight end, he beat out true freshman Taylor Decker. Offensive line coach Ed Warriner said that Decker will still play Saturday and he would like to get him in early in the game.
* Travis Howard will start at cornerback opposite of Bradley Roby. Howard has been in competition with Doran Grant for the spot, but Meyer really likes the progress Howard has made. Meyer said Howard is one of the most improved players on the defense.
* Senior defensive end Nathan Williams, coming back from microfracture knee surgery, continues to make progress and may play in a limited role Saturday.
* Meyer called center Corey Linsley the most improved player on the offensive side of the ball. Said Linsley has went "from a nobody to the apex of our offense." Meyer also praised the progress of receiver Corey "Philly" Brown and running back Carlos Hyde.
* With Miami expected to do a lot of passing, the Buckeyes are planning on playing a lot of nickel defense. The two linebackers in the nickel defense will be Etienne Sabino and Ryan Shazier. The "star" defensive back will either be Christian Bryant, Orhian Johnson or Corey "Pittsburgh" Brown.
* Meyer really likes Miami quarterback Zak Dysert. Meyer called him "tremendous" and said he could play anywhere in the country. Dysert is an Ada High School product.
* Corey "Philly" Brown could not hide his excitement about the new spread offense. He warned fans not to leave their seats when the offense is on the field.
* Linsley emphasized the increased tempo of the offense. He said he could tell that the fast pace of the offense had an impact on the defense during practice.

Samsung's Premiere 2013 event is going on right now, and they started it off big. They showed off the Samsung Galxy S 4 mini, Galaxy S 4 Active and Galaxy S 4 Zoom. Then we got a short look at the Galaxy NX, the next Galaxy Camera, looking exactly as it did in leaked images. It has a DSLR-like body with Android on its large display. And now, they've announced the specs.
The Samsung Galaxy NX is the first interchangeable lens Android camera with 4G LTE. This device will have many lenses available at launch and is compatible with all Samsung NX lenses.
Inside, you'll find a large 20.3MP APS-C sensor. This is the same sensor size used in most DSLRs, so that's pretty damn impressive. For the photographers here, you'll find Samsung's Hybrid autofocus system, a shutter speed as fast as 1/6000s and a dedicated image signaling processor to get the fastest shooting speeds possible.
For the spec guys, you'll get a 4.8-inch HD TFT display and a 1.6GHz quad core application processor with Android 4.2.2 out of the box. It'll have more than 30 smart modes for those who like auto modes and will also have a professional mode for those who want to use it in that capacity.
A price has not been announced yet, but the device is pretty impressive! With DSLR-like functionality, it could appeal to a lot of people. And the fact that it runs Android could make the device a lot more useful than other cameras. The original Galaxy Camera was awesome, but a bit of a disappointment when it came to image quality. This device will most likely fix these issues, but at a higher price point. Would you buy one?

Lady Gaga has hailed her on-tour counselling a success after "hundreds" of fans turned out to share their stories at her first North American show this week (beg14Jan13).
The Poker Face hitmaker kicked off the American leg of her Born This Way Ball world tour with a show in Tacoma, Washington on Monday (14Jan13), and she launched a new scheme to provide concert attendees with therapy.
Gaga has set up the Born Brave Bus to offer counselling sessions to help fans deal with personal issues such as depression, bullying and problems at school, and the singer insists the scheme was a huge success in Tacoma.
In a post on her Facebook.com page, she writes, "Hundreds of people came to the Born Brave Bus yesterday, so much great work done already. So proud of monsters for showing up, that is brave. Watching kids share their stories + support one another at Born Brave Bus was my dream, coming together to be kind and make friends."

News: 39 Days to Mars Kickstarter Campaign is a Success - February 13, 2014
39 Days to Mars is a coffee-break game, great for short-session playing. Further, the game's two lead characters, Sir Albert Wickes and The Right Honourable Clarence Baxter, lend themselves to co-op play.
It's the 19th century. Accompany the two characters as they travel to Mars onboard a spaceship called the HMS Fearful. The ship has been designed and built by the brightest minds of the day.
Our two characters aren't exactly the brightest anything, and they aren't really qualified to operate a spacecraft. This is where you come in.
You must keep the two explorers alive during the trip by fulfilling their every need; you must also keep the spacecraft from falling apart and take care of any problems that may arise. You soon discover that steam power isn't the best choice for interstellar travel.
It will take all of your talents and a bit of luck to get both pilots to Mars in one piece.

The history of postmodern architecture
MIT Press, Apr 13, 1988 - Architecture - 461 pages
This first standard work on the past 25 years in postmodern architecture documents a rich and controversial period. It provides a fascinating, clear, and provocative definition of the phenomena of postmodernism, particularly in relation to the major ideas of modernism. Over 500 illustrations, including 96 in full color, are in themselves a substantial record of the aesthetic preoccupations of postmodernist architects, their patrons, and their detractors.
Heinrich Klotz is one of Europe's leading architectural critics. In this panoramic work he challenges popular notions of postmodernism as synonymous with the stylistic license of eclecticism. He seeks to clarify the postmodern in other than stylistic, historic, or regional terms and identifies a long tradition of canonical, "modern" buildings which were breaking ground for what would become "postmodern" long before the word existed. His criteria for what defines postmodern will be challenged, debated, and quoted by historians and architects alike.
Klotz focuses both on architects' individual projects and their work as a whole, combining structural analysis with an assessment of programmatic and philosophical content. "Not only function, but also fiction!": that is the guiding concept of this book. His approach leads quite naturally to a gallery of celebrities from the modern as well as the postmodern period: Mies, Kahn, Venturi, Moore, Ungers, Rossi, Stirling, Hollein, Gehry, Graves, Meier, Hedjuk, Eisenman, Botta, Krier, and Stern among them. Also included are a host of less well-known contemporary practitioners including Rem Koolhas, Thomas Gordon Smith, and Maurice Culot.
Heinrich Klotz is Professor at the University of Marburg and Director of the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt, the most distinguished showcase of contemporary architectural exhibitions in Europe. He is the author of 14 books, founder and editor of Architectura magazine, the Jahrbuch fuer architecktur, and winner of the Schinkel prize of the German Society of Architects.

Uber-mobile bedouins rely on Wi-Fi to get their work done. Here, we share a comprehensive list of their favorite tools--from software to laptops and accessories--for working from public hotspots.
As a freelance Web designer who runs ClickNathan.com, Nathan Swartz's laptop is his office and his workplace is local cafés. Mobile workers like Swartz, known as "bedouins,"named after nomadic Arabs who wander from place to place in the desertuse café-based and other public hotspots to operate their businesses.
Swartz has been a bedouin for nearly two years, often working from cafés in Pittsburgh's tony east end neighborhoods. It's a lifestyle that many are turning to, says Swartz, because bedouins have all the tools necessary to run their professional lives from anywhere.
If you want your local Starbucks to become your new workplace, nothing is more important than having the right "tools of the trade" at your fingertips. You just need the proper devices, applications, and even the right accessories, like a sturdy bag.
The right device
With more places adding hotspots, only one tool is necessary, says Joe Polk, a senior technical specialist with PENNTAP, a technical assistance program that provides free assistance to companies within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
"All you really need is a laptop," said Polk, who works with some clients who are bedouins. "When you're thinking about a laptop, you need to think about how portable you are. People tend to sacrifice size and weight for functionality, like a wider monitor, a numbered keypad, or an optical drive. Someone like me will take the middle ground. I travel and take my Dell Latitude D820 everywhere, but I don't do it that often where I worry about the weight, nor do I care about a massive screen."
If your business takes you to different client sites, you should always know where the closest Wi-Fi hotspot is, adds Polk.
"When I have time in between client meetings, I may grab lunch or coffee at a place that has Wi-Fi so I can check my e-mail or do research before going to my next meeting," he said. "So always plan ahead and map out your day if you're traveling to different locations."
While laptops are more commonly associated with portable productivity, the smartphone--like Apples sleek iPhone and or RIMs BlackBerryis another weapon of choice for bedouins because it's lightweight and has longer battery endurance. Andy Abramson, president of marketing communications agency, Comunicano, and one of the world's first bedouins, warns not to confuse lifestyle devices with useful business devices.
"The iPhone is a very nice lifestyle device," said Abramson, who also writes two blogs, Working Anywhere and VoIPWatch. "It looks good, has a great interface, and lets you receive e-mails. However, you won't write a tight memo of more than a few lines given the iPhone's interface. It's just not convenient to type on. Yes, you can bang out some fast notes, but it's really just glorified SMS. It's a useful lifestyle device over the weekend."
Abramson says that an iPhone doesn't replace a smartphonesuch as a Nokia E61i, a Nokia E90, or Blackberry Curvefor business owners.
"A smartphone is a business device," he said. "They are easy to compose your thoughts on, you can quickly get access to your e-mail, and if it's on the right network, you can browse the Web. A smartphone is a business essential."
The key to devices is what's right for you, says Laura Merritt, spokesperson for Verizon Wireless for the Ohio/Pennsylvania region.
"It depends on how you plan to use the device, whether it's a phone, PDA, smartphone, or Wi-Fi-enabled devices," she said. "Recognizing that everyone has different needs, we take a consultative approach in helping customers find the right solution."
Merritt advises test-driving any device first.
"We always let our customers try our devices," she said. "If you don't like it or it doesn't support what you need to do, you can return it within 30 days and try something else. We're sure you'll find something. We support Wi-Fi with some of our devices. But if you can't connect to a hotspot, our EVDO technology allows you to have an alternative to make sure you're connected."
With new devices frequently penetrating the marketplace, Abramson says to buy what you like.
"There's something new every month," he said. "You have to buy what you like and when you find something that you like, use it until what can really replace it comes along. Because what you'll find is that if you jump to the next thing because it's the hot flavor of the month, it's not going to satisfy you."
Necessary applications
Bedouins also have to decide which applications are right for their devices.
"Can you open up a Word document, can you read an Excel spreadsheet, and can you look at an Adobe .pdf?" asked Abramson. "Once you make those decisions, then you can decide which device is best for you. I would contend that there's no one device perfect for everybody. But there are devices that are better for like-minded people. It all depends what segment you fall into. What may be good for an accountant may not be good for a lawyer."
When Dave Tremel, president of Cranberry Technology Solutions in Cranberry Township, PA, is on the road, there are a few applications he has found useful.
"With my Mac, I use Spanning Sync to sync iCal with Google Calendar," said Tremel."I can update and check my calendar using Google Calendar while on the road. For storage, I use Amazon S3 because it makes it easier to access files. This way, I don't have to have everything I need with me and know I can still get to it. Amazon doesn't provide a direct interface to S3 so for that I use Jungle Disk."
Also, if you have a USB drive and don't want to take your computer with you, Tremel says that Portable Apps allows you to take your applications and data wherever you go.
"All you need is access to a computer, all of the applications run from the USB drive," he said. "The applications need to be configured, but once this is done you plug your drive in and you have everything you need. There is also a version of Jungle Disk, which runs from USB drives."
Phone services and VoIP
Greg Kalish, a PR consultant from White Plains, NY, spends half his week working out of bedouin havens like Starbucks, Cosi, Borders, and Barnes & Noble, using his T-Mobile and Boingo accounts. His essential items are a laptop, Blackberry Curve, extra laptop battery, an extension cord for his power cord, wireless mouse, and a Bluetooth earpiece.
He also raves about Spinvox, a voicemail-to-text service that converts voice to text and allows users to receive their voicemail messages in text form as SMS and e-mail.
"This is ideal for when Im in a crowded place and where all the background noise makes it difficult to hear a voicemail message the traditional way," he said. "I can respond to spoken voice messages by text. Plus, it allows me to have a written record of all my voicemails so I dont have to listen to a message multiple times to catch a name or number."
Although, Kalish uses T-Mobile frequently, he buys Boingo day passes where T-Mobile isnt available.
"Boingo seems to be more much widely available at airports and overseas," said Kalish. "Its saved me money when traveling overseas. I have used Boingo several times in London to connect to a Wi-Fi network and then use my Vonage V-Phone to make VoIP calls. Ive probably saved thousands of dollars in international roaming fees had those same calls been made from my cell phone."
For VoIP calls, Abramson prefers Truphone.
"I can call in to any user who has a Truphone account for free," he said. "I can make calls all over the place for free or at low cost. I can make calls back and forth to the states using the Truphone service without using roaming minutes and the call quality is great."
Other essentials
Other necessary items for a bedouin include an extra laptop battery, extra batteries for other powered devices (like a wireless mouse), an "air" card (for those times when Wi-Fi just isn't working), an extension cord, blank CDs or DVDs for your burner, inexpensive thumb drives (for sharing/giving away), un-powered USB hub, and earphones.
The most essential item for Eamonn Carey (right), who runs Random Thoughts Media, a mobile and online video production company and Fanscast.tv, is simply a laptop with good battery life.
"Some cafes make your life difficult by providing only one or two power points for customer use," said Carey from Dublin, Ireland, who has spoken at conferences and trade shows about bedouins. "A fully charged cell phone also helps. I use a Nokia N95, mainly because I work in digital media and can use it to record video, audio clips, and high quality photos. Most of my e-mail comes through a Google Apps account, which I access from Gmail for Mobile, so even if I'm on the train or away from my regular hotspots, I can still access email. Plus, it has a built-in radio to keep me entertained where necessary."
Carey also recommends buying a good pair of earphones.
"I have a pair of Bose in-ear headphones for watching any video content I receive during the day," he said. "Also, if you're in a particularly busy cafe, it's nicer to listen to music on your laptop than it is to listen to the seventeen conversations happening around you. Better earphones don't bleed as much, so the people around you aren't going to have to listen to a hiss coming from your ears once you go past a certain volume."
Abramson likes a new brand called Iqua SUN.
"A great earphone is important but the challenge is that the headset's battery runs out," he said. "SUN is solar-powered and environmentally-friendly. Because it works off solar power, you can charge it under a light or when you're out and about. As long as you're working in sunlight or under light, it recharges automatically."
Low-tech accessories
A good bag is another essential item for mobile workers, says Gwen Harrison, who runs Florida-based Advanced Virtual Services, a virtual assistance business, and can often be found at local cafes about twice a week.
"I had a few different laptop cases, but finally splurged and bought a Samsonite rolling laptop case," she said. "I really enjoy it because sometimes I need to take a bunch of files with me. The over-the-shoulder cases don't have much room, but this one has plenty of room and I don't have to sling it over my shoulder."
Carey and Abramson agree that the right bag is important.
"Given that your laptop is effectively your office when you work like this, you need something that will protect it in the event of everything from heavy rain to occasional clumsy drops," said Carey. "Chances are, you're going to be lugging your laptop, a notebook, a charger, and several other items around with you every day, and if, like me, you tend to walk or use public transport rather than driving, it can get a bit heavy after awhile."
Abramson likes the Waterfield line at SFBags.com.
"I like Waterfield bags because they're light, sturdythey use parachute release hooks, and have springy shoulder straps," he said. "I also like the line from Crumpler."
Finally, don't forget the shoes. Carey recommends sneakers.
"Because I try not to drive, and walk as much as possible, comfortable shoes are a must," he said. "I wear sneakers quite a lot, and I think I get away with it at this point. If I'm meeting VCs, accountants, or lawyers, I'll put on my suit and make more of an effort to look like a businessman, but on any regular day, I'm more likely to be dressed casually."

Inside FI gives you exclusive access inside the training sessions of the Founder Institute. To get updates when we release new videos, follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our weekly newsletter here.
In this talk from the Denver Founder Institute, Gary Gaessler explains why he believes nothing happens until sales are made, and why founders should consider putting marketing on the back burner until revenue begins rolling in. He says founders should take a ready-fire-aim approach to selling - "Just get out there and talk to people - If you're not an expert in selling you'll learn quickly".
Gary Gaessler is the VP of Sales and Marketing at Cloud Elements, a platform that reduces the time and costs to develop and run Cloud Applications. He will also be mentoring in Chicago for the upcoming Spring 2013 semester, which is currently accepting applications. If you would like to hear more from Gary, click here to apply today.
Drawing from his own experience in marketing and sales, Gary reminds founders that marketing doesn't accomplish much in an early stage startup - it eats up valuable time and money. Sales, on the other hand, generates revenue and allows for additional marketing campaigns to take place. He encourages founders to be persistent and professional and always remember the "Three F's" - "Follow up, follow up, follow up!".
If you could benefit from expert training and feedback to launch a technology startup in Chicago or Denver, submit your application today. Those who apply by Janurary 13th get to take the admissions test for free and are eligible for the Female Founder Fellowship.

Acoustic Mirage is exhilarating!
Reviewer: rerddfsd
This is music that makes me smile:) The traditional South American flutes, guitars and upbeat rhythms make for a joyous mix that I play in the car almost every day and background for working around the house.
The combination of breathy Andean flutes, jazzy vibraphone, zesty acoustic guitars and Central American percussion on this group's Acoustic Mirage release a few years ago peaked the interest of both critics and music lovers. The release of this new album, El Camino Real, (The Royal Highway), sent the message clearly down the full length of Canada's national highway (Route 1) from Lotusland (Vancouver) to the nation's music capitol (Toronto) where the band was awarded a JUNO in 1994 for best world music recording.
This ensemble embodies the most obvious example of the wealth of the Vancouver recording scene. A small innovative distribution company, GRD Recordings/TRAX, has skillfully marketed their music, without a major budget, to the world beyond national borders. The appeal is obvious. The band is composed of an international membership, their music is not west coast rock, west coast country or even west coast folk music--rather it is an outstanding example of what happens when musicians from other cultures interact with Vancouver musicians and recording expertise.
Now that it is possible to simply put your music up on the World Wide Web for people to hear and discover, the message can travel at fibre optic speeds, immediately into the homes of people eager to discover new music. Already, through conventional means of information dissemination and distribution, GRD/TRAX has gotten the music of Ancient Cultures out to a number of markets outside of North America.
A few years ago, WCMR reviewed South American poet David Campbell's Hidden Tears. I spoke with David and was struck by his gentle manner, striking imagery, and his concern for his homeland and for fellow expatriots who were finding a home in Vancouver where their music was able to flourish. Ancient Cultures contributed some tracks to that cassette release. Since that time they have really come into their own.
The magic that occured when Edward Henderson invited Carlos Cortes and his Central and South American pals to contribute music for the film The Elusive Dream speaks for itself. I discovered their music when I acquired a copy of the previous Ancient Cultures release, Acoustic Mirage. This tape has become a regular source of entertainment around our house. Kyle, who is ten years old, really digs it. Ditto for the adults.
Now that we have the El Camino Real CD we have two choices when it comes to new age listening. The spirit of El Camino Real continues the uplifting spirit of Ancient Cultures, dedicated to preserving Andean folk heritage but unafraid of exploring new frontiers of world music.
The cover of El Camino Realis a digitally scanned image of a South American artifact, a true example of modern technology connecting and delivering the past to the present.
Take a stroll down the 'Royal Highway' with Ancient Cultures, you will be wafted back and forth through past and future as gently as a feather in the wind. Throb to the acoustic rhythms of claves, bongos, timbales, congas, the bombo, maracas, charangos, shaken bean pods and rain sticks while being seraded by latin vocals, throbbing acoustic guitars and the distinctive haunting melodic Quena (flute), Zampona (pan pipes) and percussive vibraphone.

Riehl, Carolyn J. (cjr8)Skip to content Skip to main navigation
210B Zankel
Office Hours:
By appointment.
Educational Background
- Ph.D., Teachers College, Columbia University
of Organizational Environment and Student Performance
- M.A., New York University
- Teacher Certification, University of Wisconsin-Madison
- B.A., Valparaiso University (Indiana)
Scholarly Interests
Carolyn Riehl, Associate Professor of Sociology and Education Policy, focuses her teaching and research on leadership and organizational dynamics in education, policy and the management of instruction, and research design and methods. Her scholarship reflects a broad concern for how practice, policy, theory, and research can inform each other to support both careful analysis and pragmatic innovation and reform in schools and school systems, especially in settings where students traditionally have been poorly served. She situates her scholarship at the juncture between sociology of education and organizational and administrative studies. The sociological perspective invites analysis of the dynamic relationships among individuals, social groups, organizations and institutions, and wider sociocultural contexts, with particular regard to issues of equity. The administrative/organizational perspective addresses practical challenges in the design and administration of school programs and the interdependencies of organizational structure and culture, individual agency, and outcomes in schooling.
Prof. Riehl has been a high-school English teacher, and has held faculty appointments at the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She co-chaired an American Educational Research Association task force whose work culminated in the book A New Agenda for Research in Educational Leadership. She has also served as chair of the Ethics Committee for the American Educational Research Association. She serves as a faculty mentor for exemplary school principals in the Cahn Fellows Program at Teachers College and is affiliated with the TC Partnership Schools Consortium in Harlem.
Her recent and current research projects include a field study of teachers' instructional planning and use of student performance data in elementary schools (funded by the Spencer Foundation) and a study of civic collaborations for education reform, sometimes known as "collective impact" initiatives (funded by The Wallace Foundation).

Super Monsters Ate My Condo! is a whimsical game from Adult Swim games.
It's a two-minute color-matching sprint that forced me to combine quick wits and finger dexterity to keep the gang of hungry, freaky monsters happy by tossing them condos from a stack of multicolored structures. In a subtle ode to Tetris, I couldn't afford to let the stack get too high, or the peeved monsters would topple the unnatural high-rise, ending the game.
It had some interesting backstory for each monster (blue, green, red, yellow). Most of the source material had to do with nuclear exposure and/or experiments gone wrong. Either way, these little nuggets (along with a detailed How To Play section) helped flesh the gameplay out a good deal.
The graphics were interestingly rendered, with emphasis put on the bright colors (obviously); the monsters exemplified the deliberately zany look of the game as a whole. It looked fun, made use of plenty of awesome animations and also did well with angling and shadows. Even the little people scurrying in the cutscenes worked well to add character to the game.
My biggest job, as noted, was to prevent the ever-rapidly formed tower of buildings from getting too high and then pushed over. To prevent this, I had to swipe condos towards one of the two monsters on either side. It was better to get the monsters a condo that matched their respective colors. Additionally, I got points for effecting same collor 3-condo combos that converted to a bronze multiplier. Even cooler, the bronze could be upgraded to Silver, and then to gold, though it took a bit of work to do that.
The developer also incorporated level-topping Goals into the game. The goals were things like point thresholds, or doing an activity while a particular monster's power was active. It was possible to unlock Boosts, and I thought the spinning wheel was a great touch. The in-app store could be used for stuff as well.
SMAMC was a lively game that stimulated my competitive juices and had me enjoying it immensely.

Dan Froomkin at Washington Post.com praises Jennifer Loven for writing "a whole story on Saturday about Bush's extensive and generally unchallenged use of straw-man arguments." Froomkin calls this a "bold departure for the AP." Loven's piece is, of course, the one John demolished yesterday. As John demonstrated, the story is bold (though not really a departure) only in its illogic and lack of factual support.
Froomkin's logic is just as bad. He infers from the fact that Bush uses phrases like "some say," instead of identifying particular speakers, that Bush is attacking arguments no one made. But as John showed, in the examples selected by Loven (presumably the best ones available) the statements Bush took on had been made by leading Democrats. Thus, the use of the "some say" locution appears to be nothing more than a reflection of Bush's commendable reluctance to single out particular individuals for presidential criticism.

Hot-playing DuBois cools off Punxsy softball
DUBOIS — It is always tough to face a team that is red hot.
This was the challenge the Punxsy softball squad had on its plate on Wednesday afternoon.
The Lady Chucks were able to take an early one-run lead before the hot-playing Lady Beavers answered with three runs and never trailed again for a 6-3 victory in DuBois.
The victory was DuBois (10-4) ninth in a row.
The Lady Beavers last defeat came at the hands of the Lady Chucks (11-4) on April 17 by a 1-0 final.
"We left way too many on base today. We couldn't string hits together as our hitters were not totally in sync," explained Punxsy head coach Alan Pifer.
Pitcher Monica Cameron helped her own cause by producing two of her team's six hits and scoring one of the runs of the affair.
Sydney Phillips drove in a run with a single.
Savannah Hallman singled and scored, while Ashley Walls and Mary Sloniger added the other two hits.
Ashley Bacha and Ivy Phillips drew RBI bases loaded walks.
"We drew the most walks (as a team of eight) that we have in the last few years," pointed out Pifer. "We just didn't capitalize on them with key hits."
Cameron scattered nine hits without walking a DuBois hitter, while fanning three.
"Monica pitched well enough to win and deserved a better fate than what she received, as DuBois' three runs in the first were unearned," noted the Punxsy coach.
The contest started out alright for Punxsy.
With one out, Bacha walked and moved to second on an Ivy Phillips sac bunt. Walls drew a free pass before Sydney Phillips singled to score Bacha for a 1-0 early lead in the top of the first frame.
DuBois came right back with its trio of unearned runs in the home first to overtake Punxsy by a 3-1 margin.
The score remained unchanged until the bottom of the fifth.
The Lady Beavers were able to add a pair of tallies in the home fifth to increase the difference to 5-1.
In the top of the sixth, Punxsy was able to scratch back.
Emily Horner and Hallman drew walks. With one out, Cameron reached on an error to load the bases.
Chelsea Engeholm lined into a fielder's choice where Horner was thrown out at home, which kept runners at every base. Bacha and Ivy Phillips followed with back-to-back run-scoring walks to cut the deficit to 5-3.
DuBois came back with a single tally in the home sixth and was able to keep Punxsy off the board in the seventh for the 6-3 final.
In the junior varsity contest, Punxsy was able to fend off DuBois in a high-scoring 11-9 contest.
The two JV rivals were seeing which team could outdo the other one.
Punxsy opened with one run in the top of the first.
DuBois bettered the output with two of its own in the home first.
After a scoreless second, the JV Lady Chucks pushed home five runs to lead 6-2. The Lady Beavers came back with three tallies for a one-run game, 6-5, with three frames completed.
Punxsy scored four times in the fourth, before DuBois equaled the number in the bottom of the same frame.
The JV Lady Chucks, though, posted what would be an insurance single run in the top of the fifth to make it 11-9.
The final two and a half innings did not see another player touch home plate.
"We hit the ball well today and did a great job on the base paths," pointed out Punxsy JV head coach Ken Covatch.
The three Punxsy top hitters were Nicole DiPietro, Jensen Constantino and Alyssa Reitz.
The JV trio combined for seven of the team's 11 hits and scored six times.
"Jensen and Nicole hit the ball really well today. Alyssa also came through with a couple of clutch hits with runners on," added Covatch.
DiPietro's two hits were both of the extra-base variety with a home run and double along with scoring three times.
Constantino doubled and singled two times with one run. Reitz laced a pair of singles.
Shaina Painter, Kara St. Clair, Amber Ward and Beth Barnett rounded out the hitting with a single each. Ward touched home plate two times and Shania DeFoor once.
DiPietro picked up the pitching win where she struck out five DuBois batters.
"Nicole did a good job pitching after a rough couple of innings to start the game," said the Punxsy JV coach.
The Punxsy softball teams will have today off before hosting Elk County Catholic in 4:15 p.m. games on Friday afternoon.

When I say everyone and their mother was at the Macklemore video shoot for "White Walls" last night, I'm not trying to be cute. I literally mean it. Most of the people there were accompanied by their parents.
Photos by Chona Kasinger and Kelton Sears
Hordes of screaming teenage girls joined in the thousand strong Macklemob that assembled outside of Dick's Burgers on Broadway Wednesday night to catch a glimpse of Seattle's biggest rapper. Joining in the throng were a healthy heaping of drunk bros, stoned dudes in basketball jerseys, and ladies wearing some variation on a fur coat draped over a bikini. People climbed trees and sat precariously on the light rail construction wall, most with beer in hand.
By 8 o'clock, the time the rumor mill claimed the shoot would begin, the stretch of Broadway was cordoned off by very anxious looking police. The Macklemob had grown incredibly dense and excitable.
Two men who vaguely looked like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (closely cropped hair, well-built) suddenly appeared on the rooftop ledge of the apartments behind Dick's around 8:30. They had a brief chat, and then with shit-eating grins, proceeded to flash the mob below a peace sign.
"MACKLEMORE! MACKLEMORE!" The crowd erupted, cheering wildly.
The false Macklemore and Ryan Lewis high fived before disappearing back into the apartment.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis didn't show until after 10 o'clock, when the two appeared in a Cadillac and drove up and down the street repeatedly for about 45 minutes for a shot. By nightfall, they began shooting the rumored rooftop Dick's scene, with the crowd screaming along to the song.
Below are actual things I overheard at the shoot:
Woman on the balcony of The Highline: I thought there was a protest going on. You know, I see a bunch of cops and some kids, and I immediately think: protest. Instead I just see some dudes ghost riding the whip up and down the street over and over.
Man on the phone: ...and there he was, Macklemore, just rollin' down the street, and all these teenagers are just ready to rip off their tops... nah man, I ain't jealous. That's sick dude, they are all like, 13.
Woman sitting on ledge yelling at boyfriend: I'm not gonna sit here for three fucking hours in front of a shitty hamburger place just for some guy to grace me with his presence. I'm leaving in the next ten minutes if this guy doesn't show up.
Little girl to father: When I grow up, can I be Macklemore?
Father to little girl: *Sighs* Well. He's driving up and down the street a lot right now, and you won't have a license for a long while now, sweetie.
Man in tank top and flip flops: Hey dude, we are running low on Bud Light Lime. I'm not about to be at this video shoot without a lot more of it, so I'll be right back.
Man's friend, also in tank top and flip flops: Oh man, I just rolled a spliff though. We can chill a second longer if you want.
Teenage girl 1: It's so crazy how many fans Mack LeMoore has.
Teenage girl 2: Uhh, it's pronounced Macklemore. Oh my god, you are so awkward.
Teenage girl 1: Ugh, whatever, I was just trying to make a point. Jeez.
Man with fauxhawk: I don't mean to sound like a hipster, but I prefer Macklemore's earlier records to the new one.
Woman sitting on ledge of light rail construction wall talking to passerby: Nah, I'm not worried about falling in. But this drunk guy fell in the pit just now and is walking around. *Looks Down* Haha, someone is yelling at him in there. They look really angry.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Freshman soccer player Courtney Forte is what you might call a Big 12 legacy.
The Sooner defender grew up in an athletically minded household. Her father Phil played football at Kansas in the 80s and her mother Julie played softball and ran track in high school. Her brother Phillip currently plays basketball at Oklahoma State.
That's probably why Forte grew up playing any sport she could.
"Growing up we played every sport pretty much," Courtney said. "I played every one possible."
That usually meant tagging along to her brother Phillip's games and practices.
"We just always threw her in there with the boys," her father Phil said. "When Phillip had soccer practice I'd say Courtney you come along and you just practice with the boys."
Whether it was basketball, soccer or anything else, the two siblings were always competing.
"Yes, we competed at everything," Courtney said. "Even if it was like, little flag football we were competing. Ping-Pong, everything."
That competitive atmosphere could be one reason Forte developed into such a successful athlete.
"All the girls that have an older brother, we've all seen that they're the tough ones," her father Phil said. "Big brothers, they don't view her as a girl, they just view her as a little sister and hey, nothing's going to be easy here."
Her father always thinks of one particular example of Courtney's competitive drive. In middle school, her brother Phillip had won the athlete of the year award. To be eligible for the honor you had to play four sports and Courtney had played just basketball and soccer.
"I said Courtney you may not want to do the others it's no big deal," her father Phil said. "But oh no, she was determined. Phillip won the award and so she was determined to win the award, and she did."
"She was actually co-athlete of the year one year and she was upset because Phillip was never "co" athlete."
Even though they had grown up KU fans, Phillip, now a sophomore, joined Travis Ford's Cowboys in Stillwater and Courtney eventually fell in love with Oklahoma.
"I think OU fits me," Courtney said. "My brother committed to OSU and I was getting recruited by OU and it just seemed right once I was here. I am really close with my brother so going somewhere pretty close was nice."
Even though she is only a freshman, Forte is already a Sooner through and through.
Despite playing at rival schools, the two siblings don't let Bedlam come between them.
"We kiddingly joke around, OU and OSU, who's better but it's just for fun," Courtney said "I talk to him a lot and we still catch up and everything. I don't get to talk to him a lot because he is starting his season but I'll go to his basketball games when I can and he comes to what he can."
Their close relationship doesn't mean Forte isn't getting into the bedlam spirit. Like any good Sooner fan, Forte knows that crimson and orange don't mix. That can be tough for a parent who has to have both colors in their closet.
"My dad came up here yesterday and he was wearing an OU shirt with orange shoes," Courtney said. "I was like, you can't do that."
"In a joking way, yes it comes up," Phil said. "Whether Oklahoma is playing a football game or what have you, it comes up. I know they tease each other about that all the time."
Fortunately for the Forte's, soccer and basketball don't overlap very much. That means the family is able to support both Phil and Courtney. That support means a great deal to Courtney.
"Our seasons aren't at exactly the same time," Courtney said. "Ours is on the outs and his is just starting up so it's good that they can go to both."
For this Big 12 family, the bedlam experience has been a blessing."As a parent I've been blessed. Not a lot of people get to watch one kid not to mention two," Phil said. "To me, I went to Kansas, and both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were in the Big Eight at that time so it's neat and I've been very blessed to watch all of this."

The declining teen pregnancy rate can be partly attributed to the use of birth control pills, but IUDs have proven to be even more effective. Credit: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
Though the popularity of shows like Teen Mom might suggest otherwise, teen pregnancy rates have dropped nationwide. In fact, they're down by 40% since 1990. So what accounts for the three-decade low?
Better sex education can be ruled out. The drops were found across the country, even in states without comprehensive sex education programs, like Texas and New Mexico. Part of the reason could be that teens are waiting to have sex. The number of teenage girls who are virgins has risen markedly in the last ten years.
However the bulk of the drop can be attributed to contraception use, but not the numbers – teen birth control use has remained at the same level for the last 20 years. It's the type of birth control that has changed. More and more teens are moving away from condoms and towards the pill. However, the pill still poses a problem – many teens and adult women forget to take it every day, increasing the risk of pregnancy.
A recent study found an even more effective method: long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants. For the study, women were given their choice of free contraception. Those who chose the pill had a much higher risk of contraceptive failure than those who picked IUDs.
The problem is that IUDs aren't readily available to most women. Though Medicaid covers them, it may not cover later checkups often needed for use of IUDs. Vermont, the state with the lowest teen pregnancy rate, teamed up with Planned Parenthood to create federal payment schemes that makes IUDs, and subsequent checkups, easier to obtain.
Should other states follow Vermont's lead? Will wider access to LARCs really make that big of a difference?

Rams advance to D-9 baseball semifinals
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg baseball is back in the district semifinals. The Rams had timely hitting and a strong starting pitching effort to win 3-0 over Coudersport in the District 9 Class A baseball quarterfinals Thursday afternoon at Knothole Area Recreational Park. Cole Peterson struck out 10 for the Rams in a complete game effort. Coudersport had three hits against the junior pitcher. "Cole threw real well," Johnsonburg coach Jeff Peterson said. "He was riding high a lot and that goes to show from not throwing a lot off this mound. Overall, I think he threw well for not throwing a lot this year. Cole started dropping his curve in there real nice, he used the knuckleball a couple times for strikes."
