Yoga and High Blood Pressure
Yoga has been recognized for some time as being effective in reducing high blood pressure, particularly the diastolic (lower) number, which is the most crucial. You can experience the relaxing effects of Yoga by committing to a short daily routine of breathing, exercise, and meditation.
Yoga techniques improve your body's strength and flexibility, teach you how to relax mentally and physically, and show you how to better manage stress reactions such as muscle tension (most commonly in the face, stomach, neck, shoulders, and breath), rapid heart rate, constricted breathing, and anxiety.
The fastest and most effective way to reduce reaction to stress is to change your breath, and an immediate way to improve your breathing is to improve your posture. In Yoga, you learn to strengthen your back and stomach muscles so that you can sit and stand straighter; this releases pressure on your heart and lungs and allows you to breathe easier.
Yoga breathing exercises teach you how to breathe more deeply and rhythmically; this has many effects, both physical and mental. Your respiratory muscles become stronger, and more oxygen reaches your bloodstream. Regular practice of breathing exercises will give you greater concentration, willpower, and steadiness. You'll feel calmer, too, as you breathe, because your mind can't think about upsetting things when it is focused on the breath. You can learn to use the breathing techniques whenever you feel stressed, fatigued, or anxious for immediate relief.
Yoga exercise benefits your entire circulatory system, beginning with the production of blood, which takes place in the marrow of the long bones in the thighs. Improving circulation in the legs with daily Yoga stretching exercises helps to rejuvenate the blood. Yoga exercises stretch the body's major blood vessels, keeping them free-flowing and elastic; Yoga oxygenates the blood and pushes fresh nutrients to all peripheral vessels and capillaries. Improved circulation means that your brain will receive more oxygen, improving alertness, memory, and mood; vital organs receive a steady supply of the nutrients they need for optimal functioning.
Yoga relaxation and meditation training teach you how to relax at will, allowing your body to release muscle tension almost as it occurs. Meditation training shows you how to access your inner source of strength and personal power, creating a support system that builds confidence and self-esteem, helps you learn to enjoy the present-moment, and increases self-awareness.
The choice to practice Yoga will help you control your high blood pressure as it contributes to greater general health and well-being.

New York delivered, as can be expected. And by that I mean I found the word unicorn carved into the cement somewhere along 5th Ave. If you're going to deface the public's walking foundation of a great city, I suggest you choose a word like "unicorn" to do so. I don't think it's a misdemeanor if its intent is positivity–which explains the presence of so many spray-painted "God Loves Yous" and "Jesus Saves" under overpasses.
And if New York didn't bring it with its mystical creature sidewalk vandalism, it surely did with its offering of cleverly titled shops. Case in Point:
It's the lactation kingdom of the Upper West Side, its walls covered with an impressive display of pump parts and nursing bras that hang like expensive art in a gallery. I didn't think I'd have any issues with missing a couple days of nursing Nella as it's winding to a close anyway, and I wasn't sure she was even getting anything (this milk/boob discussion's getting slightly uncomfortable). Needless to say, I had to stop by this breast kept secret for some equipment, shall we say. I asked to get hooked up with the cheapest, easiest solution which turned out to be something that resembled a cross between a PVC pipe, a giant syringe and a victrola. If you've ever seen a breast pump (okay, I officially don't love the word "breast"), you know exactly what I mean by victrola. And then try using it in a public bathroom stall. What did I learn from all this? Well, I learned never to admit you're going to throw your rhymes-with-quest milk away when you're standing in the middle of a shop dedicated to holy mother's milk. You might as well just light a hundred dollar bill on fire. When you are asked what you plan to do with your "expressed milk" (still uncomfortable) and if you need a bottle/ice bags/insulated iron safe in which to keep it, just smile and say "yes" and "yes" and "of course."
Oh, but I'm getting utterly sidetracked now.
Back to New York.
I was going to write this post with the whole angle of leaving my kids and what that was like and this dual life we have of mothering, nurturing, loving and yet fostering our own passions and dreams as well. How it kind of melds together, pushes and pulls and generally works out in the end.
I loved every minute of New York and yet my true statement of "I let go, I enjoyed me time, I knew the kids were just fine without me" can be contradicted by the same truth of "I missed them and thought about them all the time." If that makes any sense.
For me though, the more interesting angle on this trip is the realization of just how alike we all are. Moms, not moms, New Yorkers, Midwesterners, Cab Drivers, what have you. My favorite thing about traveling a little more the last two years has been meeting people. People who live completely different lives, enjoy different pastimes, like different music, jobs, food, etc.
I've always had a tendency to be very conscious of what made me different in social settings. Not necessarily to be intimidated by it but at least to be aware that standing in the middle of a busy street, unfolding a giant NY map or hailing a cab the "wrong" way made me stand out. To be sitting at a table with beautiful, successful New York single women and have that moment of "I'm the crafty dork mom who keeps checking her phone for pictures of her kids." The more I really spend time with people though–open myself up to different atmospheres, allow myself to relax and really listen to people, be moved by the rhythms of different cities and landscapes, backgrounds and life stories–the less I notice what makes us different. And the more I become aware of what makes us the same.
Surrounded by the colorful culture of New York City these past few days and weaving together the several encounters I had with different people, I'm inspired by the ever present truth of…we are all the same. Despite how many bright yellow taxis pepper our streets or what passions we pursue, how we dress, where we work, what we eat–we all want the same thing. To seek adventure, find comfort, connect with others. To relate, to feel good, to be recognized for our efforts. To be good at something. To love and be loved. To feel happy.
St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue, Midtown Manhattan
It felt really good this week to explore the city, meet new people and reconnect with old friends. While the past 48 hours were efficiently filled with a lot of work (a couple meetings and some very last tie-up work for the book), my friend Meg saw to it we had some fun as well.
Other Desert Cities at Lincoln Center Theater; a captivating well-written show
Holy Cow, was it a fast trip.
Sweet Mother of Buttercream Frosting
It rained 2 out of 2 1/2 days there.
But completely inspiring and invigorating. Even in the rain.
That medley of wet reflections and steam that seeps out from manhole covers and sort of dances along the dark, slick streets? It's poetic. Lovely.
Street Corner Hot Pretzels and Roasted Chestnuts
And yes, I missed them.
I did so well at being present and really enjoying the opportunity to be alone, sleep (for the first time in three years!), move from one location to another without taking a head check, buckling seat belts or making sure to grab a to-go snack; but I missed them, truly. You get to a certain point in motherhood where, no matter how much fun you're having, you just subconsciously breathe your children. You can smell them even when you're not purposely thinking about them. You can feel their arms around your neck, their breath on your shoulder. You hear them whisper good night even when, by the time you climb in bed, they've long been asleep several hundred miles away. Brett's mom said yesterday Nella walked all day. Just took off for good and didn't look back. Because she's two now and Sister knows it.
I almost cried when we got home and realized Grandma was right. Walking is now Nella's transportation mode of choice, and she's good at it. Quick, smooth and agile.
Just another thing that makes us very much the same.

It's the beginning of the year, so the Consumer Electronics Show is currently in full swing in the awesome city of Las Vegas. The thing is though - there's so much, pardon my Dutch, crap being announced it's hard to keep up. I have yet to see a single interesting thing to come out at CES so far, and I have little hope the next few days are going to be any better. That NVIDIA mobile gaming thing is mildly interesting, but as usual - no price, no release date. The Verge is spending loads of money on CES, so it has excellent coverage going on. Let's have a contest: if three months from now any of you can name three products announced at this year's CES (without cheating), I will force myself to use iOS for a week.

ADRIAN — A resolution commending Roger Myers for his 39-year career of leading Lenawee County's community mental health agency brought county commissioners and audience members to their feet Wednesday.
The commission also passed a resolution to be presented later to Kathy Aube, who is retiring from the Lenawee Medical Care Facility after a 19-year career. And two commissioners retiring from the board were presented framed certificates and applauded for their service.
Myers accepted a framed copy of his resolution after it was read to the audience.
It stated Myers had seen "the horrors of institutional care" and dedicated his nearly four decades of service in Lenawee County to providing humane treatment that allowed people with mental illness and developmental disabilities to live in the community.
The county's community mental health agency had a $110,000 budget when Myers started. It now has an annual budget of $16 million and a staff of 65 people.
"Under Roger's leadership, the community has been both enlightened and educated on mental health issues; and this has built a secure foundation for others to recognize and acknowledge mental health issues, the confidence to seek help and the ability to find the best treatment options available," the resolution stated.
When he came here from his home in Illinois in 1973, Myers said, "I never imagined that I would finish my career in mental health in Lenawee County." Looking back now, he said, "I can't imagine finishing it anyplace else."
Commissioners Rob Hall, R-Hudson, and Donald Welch, R-Adrian, were recognized as they finished their final commission session in the old Lenawee County Courthouse. Both lost re-election bids in the August primary.
"I've got to honestly say I'll miss you guys," said commission chairman John Tuckerman, R-Blissfield.
Hall's 14 years on the commission have made him "a wealth of knowledge and experience," Tuckerman said.
"It's been fun. It's been trying. It's been a good group of people to work with, always," said Hall.
Hall has taken a lead role over the years in dealing with county budget problems and resolving a controversy over building a new Lenawee County Jail. He has also served on the Lenawee County Airport Commission since first being elected in 1998.
Welch said he enjoyed his four years on the commission.
"The pleasure has been mine. I've learned a lot in four years, especially not to be a politician," he said. The commission has accomplished a great deal in the past few years, he said. "I'm just glad to be a small part of it."
County honors Roger Myers for 39 years at mental health authority

Research Description:
Synthetic biology is a new field that may be defined as the complex engineering of replicating systems ( http://syntheticbiology.org/ ). Protein synthesis is central to this field and also to antibiotic development. Important questions remain unanswered. For example,
1. What are the mechanisms of substrate recognition and peptide bond formation?
2. Can cell-free protein production be improved to rival inherently less-flexible in vivo systems?
3. What genes are required to completely reconstitute translation (the "translatome")?
4. What are the functions of ribosomal RNA modifications?
5. Can new protein synthesis inhibitors be developed to combat rising bacterial resistance?
Ironically, in addition to being a target for antibiotic development, we envisioned that the translation apparatus could also be engineered to generate drug leads against translation or any other target molecules.
We've reconstituted a simplified, purified translation system that has enabled:
1. Modular alteration of aminoacyl-tRNA substrates using chemical synthesis to reveal key elements for substrate function in translation,
2. Overturning of dogma on the rate-limiting step in translation,
3. Explaining why the genetic code evolved to contain proline,
4. Creation of rudimentary genetic codes de novo, and
5. Genetic screening of a model library of polypeptides in a purified system, termed "pure translation display."
6. Proposed a list of genes essential for reconstitution of translation (a "minimal translatome") and have begun synthesizing and testing the genes using "BioBricks", revealing unexpected properties of transcription terminators.
We aim to exploit our purified translation system to:
1. Determine the rules of substrate recognition by the translation apparatus,
2. Enable ligand discovery using pure translation display of peptides containing multiple, protease-resistant, unnatural amino acids,
3. Synthesize active 23 rRNA in vitro using rRNA modification enzymes associated with antibiotic resistance,
4. Optimize in vitro translation systems,
5. Determine the genes necessary for reconstitution of translation, and
6. Synthesize a life-like replicating system (a minimal cell project) dependent only on small molecules for food.

ooooooooo, knitting beyond the edge looks fabbulous !!!!!ReplyDelete
Isn't the suspense of waiting for delivery the absolute pits? The roller coaster of anticipation, then the disappointment. It drives me crazy, especially when I miscalculated and didn't have the foresight to order extra the first time and am waiting on a re-order to finish a wip.ReplyDelete

I just came across your blog after a meeting with some Bhutanese women living in Oakland that I am trying to help start a knitting business. They don't know much English and don't have jobs. They lived in refugee camps in Nepal for the past 20 years. But, they do know how to knit! So, looking for all kind of knitting supplies to help them. Anything would be great.ReplyDelete

Which new features do you want the most?
steeeepster app!
also, maybe a section where you can list teas you are willing to trade? has that been mentioned? is that silly? i'm willing to trade most, but not all. having a second cupboard would be handy. or maybe that's getting too clunky?
love the idea of a trade options section
These could be icon options in the current cupboard: star icon == "regulars/favourites" as Kasumi mentioned earlier, handshake/recycling icon == willing to swap. That way everything is still in one place and the sorting options can include "sort by favourites" and "sort by swappable" or something.
But I wouldn't hold my breath, folks. Steepster has been an unanchored little boat for quite some time. Seems to me that the team are taking care of duplicate reports and quick bug fixes, as well as kicking/restarting the server when necessary, but it doesn't look like there's any active development, planned or in progress.
icons. brilliant!!
I like Nik's idea of icons. (Also, the lack of updates, I think, has a lot to do with them largely focusing on things that are actually making money, rather than Steepster which must surely be an out-of-pocket venture.)
I can't even begin to sort through this whole thread, so please forgive duplicates:
• Tasting Notes – Sort by most recent, most comments, likes, etc.
• Numerical Score – 2nd the ability to see numerical score when using the ratings slider
• Format Text – Markdown cheat sheet, or ability to format text within postings
• Harvest Year – Someway to differentiate between harvest years
• Revenue – Add more ways (without ad clutter) to generate revenue for Steepster
• iPhone/iPad/Android App – I would pay for & use the iPhone app
• Profile Picture – Expand this when you click on it, not just small thumbnails
• Tasting Templates – Choose from, or create your own, and fill in the details
In regards to "revenue," I'd just like to see Steepster grow, and there be more to motivate development and stability. I like the character of Steepster, so I don't want to see that overwhelmed by adverts, but I do think there are probably ways to generate click-through revenue or retailer incentives that could bring in a little cash flow.
That's what I got for now.
At this point, I would be happy just to be able to submit my tea reviews! :S
Its fine now! Just a little warning next time would be awesome. :D
Hmm how about a poke option.
Like, you can use a particular tea to 'poke' someone with cos you can see the person's history of tasted tea.
Also, a point system that lets new members 'thumb up' someone else's tea or their selection.
Lastly, inhouse teachat! but as usual the banning of vulgarities and URL links so this magical tea sanctuary i stumbled upon doesnt do to the random advertisement dogs (fingers crossed)
why can't new users post pictures of places? I've got pictures that might be helpful to people and I'm not sure why I have to wait a month to post them
Also you don't have good photo upload in general
- Ability to organize Cupboard by type of tea (black, mate, oolong, herbal, etc)
- section for tea products (teaware)
- ability to find friends (no need to invite them if they're already here)
- discussions should be sorted newest to oldest—seems odd to have to the last page to see the most recent comment
- I don't really understand the order of tea reviews on a tea's page…I'd like to be able to choose how to sort them, e.g. by most recent and/or seniority of reviewer (e.g. How many tea logs they've written)—you can sort a person's tasting notes, so why not all the tasting notes on a tea's page? That would be most helpful
I like these especially the type of tea, and tea product ideas!
I too would like this. I recently ordered a tea post and there was no reviews anywhere for it. It would have been nice to be able to find out if anyone else used it.
The ability to "favourite" forum posts would be great; people post some awesome ideas here on the boards and it would be nice if we could quickly access them for future reference.
I love being able to "Save to Shopping List" and wish there was an option to do this with Places, i.e. bookmark a place to go to later.
I have a suggestion for tea notes. I think it would be cool if you could make a note for combining two teas together and not have to edit one (or both) of the teas for a note for if you tried it mixed with something else. If that makes sense.
So in your notes it would show tea 1 + tea 2 then note.
yes, place for personal blends! even an area in the notes where you can list further ingredients.
A Steepster iphone app!
YES, I went to see if there was one, and there is not. It would be nice to be able to check, view and everything else on the go.
Perhaps they will! and perhaps tea vests not unlike what a journalistic camera reporter would wear, only ours would have pockets for tea leaves and tools, its like a tea utility belt!

Today, Villa Amerika houses a museum dedicated to the life and works of Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904), one of the Czech Republic's greatest composers.
Dvořák was born near Prague, then part of the Austrian Empire. A composer of romantic music, his inspiration was drawn from the idioms and melodies of Moravian and Bohemia folk music.
Dvořák composed symphonic, choral and chamber music. His works include the New World Symphony, the Slavonic Dances, the American String Quartet and the Cello Concerto in B minor. He also wrote operas, of which the best known is Rusalka.
The Museum of Antonín Dvořák was established at Villa Amerika in 1932. It focuses on collecting, maintaining and displaying documents on the maestro´s life and works.
The collection comprises sheet music manuscripts, personal correspondence and other written material, works of art, period photographs, programmes, posters and personal objects.
These precious exhibits draw admirers of Antonín Dvořák from all over the world. For, although he spent most of his life in or near Prague, he lived 3 years in America as the director of the National Conservatory of Music, he visited England 9 times, often conducting his own works, and influenced by Tchaikovsky, he conducted orchestras in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Classical ConcertsFrom May to October, Villa Amerika presents a series of classical concerts / historical re-enactments entitled Wonderful Dvořák. These take place in the Music Salon, which boasts a wonderful ceiling fresco "Rise of Apollo" by Jan Ferdinand Schor and an imposing Baroque fireplace.
Performances are presented "living history" style, with the players dressed in period costume. The musicians/actors re-enact a scene from 1904 where the master Antonín Dvořák is due to arrive at any moment

James Robert Kennedy--nicknamed 'Radio' because of his vintage radio collection and his love of music--is a loner in Anderson, South Carolina, pushing his ever-present grocery cart up and down the streets. He speaks to no one and is rarely spoken to, until one day, Coach Harold Jones, one of the town's most respected men, and coach of the popular high school football team, befriends him. Radio is suspicious at first. But Coach Jones is persistent, even enlisting the help of Radio's mother. Jones' friends and family are taken aback as well since, until he met Radio, all his energies were poured exclusively into football. Slowly, Coach Jones earns Radio's trust and opens up a new world to him. He invites Radio to help out at football practice and during games and to sit in on his classes at school, despite the initial misgivings of Principal Daniels. He also champions him to the football players, the students and faculty. Coach Jones' life is also enriched by Radio, from whom he learns to value friendship and family ties as much as he does coaching football. Still, there are those in town who believe that Coach Jones' devotion to the young man is distracting him from his duties as head coach of the football team. There are several attempts to have Radio barred from the classroom and, after his mother's untimely death, remanded to a mental-health facility. Coach Jones valiantly fights off these efforts, but he is finally forced to make a difficult decision, which will impact both his growing friendship with Radio and his career as a football coach.

PRIME MINISTER LAUNCHES WORLD'S LARGEST PURPOSE BUILT-TERMINAL FOR LOW COST CARRIERS – klia2
24 June 2014
Sepang, 24 June 2014 – klia2 Terminal (klia2), the world's largest purpose built terminal for low cost carriers was officially launched by the Prime Minister YAB Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak today, augmenting Malaysia's already strong presence in the global aviation industry.
klia2 began commercial operations on 2 May 2014 and has been operating smoothly, making klia2 one of the most successful airport openings. Since then, the terminal has successfully handled more than 3 million passenger movements and 24,000 aircraft movements. User and passenger feedback have been positive with most saying that they were delighted with the enhanced facilities and size of the new terminal. They were also excited about the 'Airport in a Mall; Mall in an Airport' concept.
klia2 was built primarily to address the soaring demand for low cost air travel. In the last ten years, low-cost air travel in Malaysia has consistently recorded an average of 25% year-on-year growth and has shown no signs of abating. Based on projected growth, klia2 is expected to be handling 25 million passengers by end of 2014. This mega terminal has the capacity to accommodate projected growth for the next ten to 15 years. It is able to handle 45 million passengers per year – three times more than the previous capacity of Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT-KLIA).
The development cost for this national infrastructure project was privately funded through Malaysia Airports' 5-tranche Senior Sukuk Programme which was oversubscribed by 3.4 times and attracted a diverse group of investors. The construction cost per passenger was at RM89, the lowest compared to other peer international airport terminals such as Suvarnabhumi Airport, Heathrow Terminal 5, and Hong Kong International Airport. The average construction cost per passenger at terminals with capacity between 16 to 45 million passengers per annum around the world was around RM1,229.
The Prime Minister commended Malaysia Airports' achievement in building a world-class infrastructure that is set to become a global benchmark for future terminals of its kind. klia2, together with KLIA main terminal has great potential as the region's aviation hub and positions itself as the Next Generation Hub where there is seamless connectivity between low-cost and full service flights.
The terminal was built over 45 months or 3.75 years, another commendable feat when compared to Suvarnabhumi Airport (4.75), Heathrow Terminal 5 (5.75), and Hong Kong International Airport (6). klia2 development was part of the Economic Stimulus Package that saw involvement from many local consultant companies and contractors. While this presented multiple challenges especially in terms of stakeholder management, it allowed for these local companies to benefit from the experience of being involved a world-class mega project
YB Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, the Acting Minister of Transport, who also gave a speech during the event spoke about the additional challenges faced in ensuring that klia2 remained on track for its commercial opening. To this end, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin appointed YB Datuk Abd Aziz Kaprawi, Deputy Minister of Transport to lead the klia2 Task Force which was formed in July 2013. Together with Datuk Abd Aziz, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin played instrumental roles in facilitating the development.
Tan Sri Dato' Sri Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah, Chairman of Malaysia Airports in his welcome speech highlighted the significance of today's historic event, "Today's event is the culmination of one of Malaysia Airports' efforts in continually striving to provide world-class airport services to all travellers. The successful development and opening of klia2 is a testament to how far we have journeyed in transforming from a traditional airport operator into a successful world-class airport business. With this, we consider that Malaysia Airports is now on par with, if not better than other established airport companies, particularly in this part of the world. We are confident that it will further boost our competitiveness in the global aviation industry."
He also said that, "This was the first time Malaysia Airports had embarked on the development of a "greenfield" airport. The project required careful coordination, monitoring and interfacing of thousands of site activities and workers. The team worked day and night with almost 200 external stakeholders. The challenges and setbacks were too numerous to mention but despite them all, the team excelled and delivered all that was expected and more. To the Malaysian public, klia2 is a source of national pride, but to the team that made it happen it stands as a monument to their achievement and passion."
Tan Sri Wan Abdul Aziz also thanked the Government for its support in promoting the aviation industry, specifically to the Prime Minister and Acting Minister of Transport for their special attention towards the progress of klia2 development.
During the launch, klia2 was officially inducted into the Malaysia Book of Records for the 'Biggest Purpose Built Terminal for Low Cost Carriers & First Airport Terminal Sky Bridge'. YBhg Tan Sri Danny Ooi, Founder & Managing Director Malaysia Book of Records presented the certificate to the Chairman of Malaysia Airports, witnessed by the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister also launched Sama-Sama Express – Terminal Airside Transit Hotel (Sama-Sama Express), located in the international departure area. Sama-Sama Express offers 70 modern, chic and comfortable rooms is the place. It also provides a rejuvenating experience and ultimate convenience for business and leisure travellers who are transiting between flights. Its strategic location allows guests to check-in into the hotel without having to clear Malaysian Customs and Immigration if they are on a layover between flights.
At the end of the ceremony, the Prime Minister launched gateway@klia2, the landside mall located between the drop-off point and the Main Terminal at klia2 Terminal. This 'Airport in a Mall; Mall in an Airport' concept merges a retail mall experience with air travel retail to become the gateway to and from Malaysia, allowing travellers the opportunity to take off and land directly at a world-class mall. It also caters to meeters, greeters, staff workforce and residents from the surrounding residential districts of Sepang, Putrajaya, Bangi and Nilai.
The mall has been successful in attracting many established retail brands such as Hush Puppies, Crocs, Nikon, Jaya Grocer, and Lazo Diamond to name just a few, together with a number of new local brands.
This 'Mall within an Aiport' concept also applies to the klia2 terminal building itself as Malaysia Airports wanted to maximise its commercial offerings. It has about 35,000 sqm of floor space dedicated to retail, F&B and service outlets. It is also among the few international airports with a high percentage of commercial space (20%). For most other airports the percentage is in single digit. klia2 Terminal has 225 retail outlets with 118 lots allocated for retail offerings, 81 lots for F&B and 26 lots for services. Starbucks Coffee, The Body Shop, and Royal Selangor are just some of the well-known brands available.
During the same event, the Prime Minister also visited the Express Rail Link Station at gateway@klia2 where he officially launched the KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit services to klia2. With a journey time of only 33 minutes between KL Sentral and klia2, the KLIA Ekspres train service is the fastest airport transfer for passengers using the new airport terminal. Passengers travelling to klia2 or KLIA will be charged the same fare of RM35, as both are considered terminals of the same airport.

Earlets and Tunnels: Basic Design
The basic design for earlets (eyelets) and flesh tunnels is the same. These are hollow tubes made for stretched piercings, most commonly stretched earlobes. The hole in the middle truly emphasizes the size of the piercing hole, which is ideal for those with very large gauge piercings.
Difference between Earlets and Flesh Tunnels
Earlets (also known as eyelets) and flesh tunnels are very similar in design. Both are large gauge jewelry pieces with a hole in the middle. The main difference is the way they are inserted. Earlets are hollow tubes that are typically single flared or double flared, though there are those without flares. (Those without flares require you to wear O-rings to hold them in place). Flesh tunnels typically have one removable end that screws back in place once you insert it into your ear or another piercing. As you can see, the main difference is the construction and the way they are inserted into the ear.

It was a veritable "who's who" of Oak Ridge history preservationists who visited Knoxville on Tuesday evening and received due recognition for their individual and collective efforts during the East Tennessee Historical Society's Annual Meeting.
It was a veritable "who's who" of Oak Ridge history preservationists who visited Knoxville on Tuesday evening and received due recognition for their individual and collective efforts during the East Tennessee Historical Society's Annual Meeting.
Among those representing the Secret City/Energy City of Oak Ridge were D. Ray Smith and wife Fanny, Martin and Anne McBride, Lloyd and Betty Stokes, and Katy Brown of the Oak Ridge Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Ray, a renowned Y-12 historian and a twice-weekly columnist for The Oak Ridger, received an Award of Excellence from the ETHS. Given the wide scope of his work, the Oak Ridge historian was presented with an award combining two categories — the first time the Historical Society has done so, according to ETHS director Cherel Henderson.
The award Smith was presented with is the Professional Achievement and Community History Award.
In consideration of his longtime and continuing work with Y-12 and The Oak Ridger, as well as his photo books on various subjects, an award-winning documentary mini-series and more, Ray Smith was nominated for this week's honor by Parker Hardy of the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce and Katy Brown of the Oak Ridge Convention & Visitors Bureau for his commitment and excellence "without parallel" in preserving and promoting the history of Oak Ridge.
The Oak Ridger was pleased to provide a letter of support for the Ray Smith recognition, as well.
"D. Ray's gracious appreciation for those who take the time and effort to share their personal stories with him … and his desire to involve the entire community in The Secret City's time-honored historical pursuits … is a rare and wonderful thing," The Oak Ridger's support letter stated in part.
"Ray Smith is a blessing to this newspaper and to this region."
In addition to Smith's recognition, the Oak Ridge Convention & Visitors Bureau itself, as well as Katy Brown, Martin and Anne McBride and Lloyd and Betty Stokes individually, were chosen to receive a Community History Award from the East Tennessee Historical Society for their efforts related to an Oak Ridge Heritage Tour booklet.
The Oak Ridge Heritage Tour was described by the ETHS as "an informative and helpful tour guide of 'America's Secret City' of interest to both residents and visitors." The guide was commended for its "excellence in historical interpretation and visitor friendly design," according to information provided to The Oak Ridger.
The nomination for this award was presented by Ethiel Garlington, director of preservation field services for Knox Heritage, which works to preserve structures and places with historic or cultural significance. Knox Heritage's motto is "Preserve. Restore. Transform."
Tuesday night's meeting of the East Tennessee Historical Society was held at the East Tennessee History Center on Gay Street and featured a lecture presented by Susan M. Abram, Ph.D., titled "The Trail of Tears (1838-2013): From Tragedy to Triumph in 175 Years."
On Sunday, May 19, the Historical Society invites Oak Ridgers to attend "A Conversation with Rick Atkinson at the Bijou Theatre."
"The Guns At Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945" completes Atkinson's masterwork (a total of nearly 3,000 pages) as he tells the story "of battles and liberation in the European Theater of Operations from D-Day to the final surrender of Nazi Germany and the Axis powers.
While this 2:30 p.m. event is free, reservations are required. Call (865) 215-8883 or visit the Historical Society online at email@example.com.

(Tom couldn't handle constantly being asked if the guy he was with was the dude that f*cked Kimbo)
As fans and pundits of the sport, sometimes we forget that the fighters we love and hate to watch in the ring and cage are normal human beings like we are. They have bills to pay, mouths to feed and wives and girlfriends that *most* of them go home to every night.
We've been introduced to many of the W.A.Gs of fighters by UFC countdown shows, porno movies, arrest reports and through their own contributions to the sport as managers and fighters in their own right. Regardless of what they do, they support their men through the good and the bad and keep the home front running smoothly while their husbands and boyfriends are away for training camps or competing.
They don't get a lot of mention by us media types, so we figured we would pay them tribute by posting a gallery of some of the lesser-known ladies behind the well-known fighters in the sport.

A CROSS Keys rugby player has been jailed for a year after a punch he threw during a "huge" end-of-game brawl left a fellow player in need of 28 stitches.
Back row forward Rhys Peebles, 30, was sentenced for malicious wounding and inflicting grievous bodily harm at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday.
The incident took place on November 29 last year, during the dying minutes of the Principality Premiership away game against Cardiff RFC at Cardiff Arms Park.
Callum Lewis, from Merthyr, was left with a nasty cut below his eye and only returned to action last week, said a Cardiff RFC spokesman after the hearing.
In mitigation, Jonathan Wellington said Peebles, who was sent off for throwing the punch, had lashed out "in the heat of the moment".
"There was a huge brawl and everything happened so quickly that, in his mind, he thought the other player was moving towards the brawl and he lashed out. Obviously that blow landed."
Mr Lewis, 20, is said to have made a full recovery and is currently playing for Wales Under-20s.
But Peebles, of Pontywaun, was handed a 12-month custodial sentence on Tuesday and was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £120.
He pleaded guilty at a preliminary hearing on January 7.
Cross Keys won the game against Cardiff 38-10, to make it six straight competitive wins up to that point.
Peebles, said on the Cross Keys RFC website to be a carpenter, is listed as 6ft 2in tall and weighing 16-and-a-half stones.
He lists past clubs as Abercarn, but has played for Cross Keys since 2005.
His best season came in the 2011/12 campaign when he was on the winning side for 20 out of the 29 games he played, scoring 15 points.

What I often find is that fundamentalist not only don't know what evolution is, but actively work to avoid acknowledging anything beyond the vague projection that they've assumed evolution to be. There is also the issue of having to educate every fundamentalist on basic science at the starting gate.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
I am assuming that most of these TOE deniers have been vaccinated against many awful diseases, and if not, have avoided smallpox, etc, because most of the world has been vaccinated......
She was really really hot though.
Now, I realize that my opponent will try to tell you that science no longer makes a distinction between micro and macro evolution and that use of these terms on my part are indicative of ignorance....
Evolutionary science would like us all to believe that is unnecessary to distinguish between the two because microevolution has been proven and all macroevolution is is a bunch of microevolution at work.
Well, it is my belief that this assertion made by evolutionary science is mere propaganda employed to deceive the masses into believing that evolution can successfully account for all of the steps in the evolutionary process.
I am not charging all of evolutionary science with corruption and bias. This type of behavior is, admittedly, not the norm. However, we need to consider the existence of this behavior when deciding if science is good in terms of whether it is presenting the true facts.
CONCLUSIONMy opponent contends that Christianity can be compatible with evolution. As a Christian myself, I accuse him of placing God's Word into a worldview inconsistent with the Bible that he bases his faith on. He does not need evolution to explain the account of creation the Bible clearly lays out. Reputable Christian scientists have laid out highly plausible explanations for how any concept of evolution can be explained by the Biblical record of creation. If he honestly believes that evolutionary science is "good science," he must successfully demonstrate, for the purposes of this argument, that it has and is giving some recognition to a Creator as means of explaining the complex occurrence of "speciation"....particularly since the Bible he and I use explains it all very well !
Omen,Thank you. I could not have said it better without being banned.
My eight year old would crush the stuff BS is writing, I guarantee it. He spent 3 hours sifting through a pile of crushed rocks at a Houston museum, looking for fossils. He gave me a small bag of his findings and labeled it "20 million year old sea life fossils."
Okay guys am I crazy?I'm still not sure if this is an opening argument, or just a slightly more annoyed rebuttal to my opening argument.I think it's his opening argument, but why is it organized into an A, and a B1, B2, B3, and B4? why are A and B1 pretty much exactly what I said only with "Nut Uh!" attached?Is this just BS's first foray into an organized debate and he now believes they are all organized and enumerated the same way as my opening arguments?I'm going to respond later today... Will someone just let me know if I missed something?
Sorry, but I have had a bit of a problem with BS' approach in other threads, and this is no surprise to me at all. What's surprising to me is the tolerance for his style. I think it is some bizarre black hole of some sort, where BS has managed to convince some forum members that he is truly trying to learn from others, or is interested in two way discussions.
Quote from: UniversityPastor on September 14, 2010, 05:26:46 PMShe was really really hot though.As a general rule, hot girls deserve special consideration above and beyond their intellectual level, or their delusion. Just kidding girls! Luv Ya!
Why is it that "pure" creation science is not given a fair shake by the scientific community?
Why is it, by and large, disregarded as worthy of hypotheticals in light of inability to provide solid evidence for speciation?
Why is evolutionary archaeology not more interested in demonstrating that the fossil record be used to establish that speciation might be due to Intelligent Design?
Now let me ask you a question:If we are afraid to follow science wherever it leads us, and trust that the truth will eventually lead us back to Christianity. Then do we really believe Christianity to begin with? Why should a Christian believer ever be afraid to let someone follow the evidence without biblical help?
How do you make the bell *ding* on a forum thread, signalling times up, next speaker?No offence UP, it just seems that you're drowning him.
UP, wasn't sure if you knew but you can see the last time anyone was on the forum by clicking on their profile icon under their name on a post of theirs. I've used it to gauge how sincere anyone is in responding.

Shine a Light (Remotely)
Light is one of those intangible things that is stuff and whatnot. Wait, no it isn't. It's light. As in, "Aziz, LIGHT!"
On the one hand, it's either on or it's off. On the other hand, it's half-on, half-off, and you've programmed it to go half-off and half-on again at the touch of a button.
If you don't have kids to turn lights on for you (or maybe you have kids, and they don't turn them back off), Lutron has a host of products to make life a little easier. How much easier is best explained by experience. Which brings us to the aptly named Lutron Experence Center.
With seven locations all over the country, Lutron's Experience Centers are beautifully designed and equipped homes that aren't really homes at all. Instead, they're perhaps the most attractive sales floors ever. Each "home" is incorporated into its surrounding sales space. You walk inside the Center, then a few steps later walk inside the "front" door of the mock home.
Each "home" has a different aesthetic, designed with a regard for regional flavors. The Southern California location that I visited, for example, has our typical mildly-mesa look to everything. The New York Center, alternately, is far more modern in its decor. It's a smart move, offering a customized design that's similar to what potential visitors are likely to have in their homes.
In addition to providing hands-on experience with lighting control, the Centers act as a sort of idea generator for interior designers. Most rooms have multiple lighting zones, addressable via wall keypads or a wireless remote control. Window shades add yet another level of light control to the lighting controls. And using mechanics similar to the window treatments, a small home theater features a retractable curtain revealing a 2.35:1 screen.
As we made our way through the rooms, we found that the bathroom held an iPad. Which held a Lutron app, with a graphical interface that's a step above any buttoned controller, no matter how cool.
Lutron's Experence Centers are open via appointment only, generally with an interior designer or contractor. They're worth a visit, even if it's just to see the potential of full lighting control. Check one out near you.

A controversy about the responsibility for fixing a broken sidewalk in front of a 94-year-old grandmothers house ended peacefully Tuesday with two independent offers to pay for Sammy Willis share of the $2,000 bill as well as her son, Bill Willis, a contractor, offering to do the work, too.
The tree believed to be responsible for pushing up the pavement and creating a tripping hazard wont have to be removed for the repair work, either, said Gregg Boysen, the city engineer, in a interview.
Weve got a graceful way out of the situation, Mayor Doug Lyon said during the regular council meeting.
During the public hearing, Bill Willis and City Attorney David Smith tangled over the thorny issue of who should be responsible for a tree in a public right of way causing damage to a city sidewalk.
Bill Willis contended the city should be responsible for a city-owned tree.
Smith agreed partly that the city has been responsible for maintaining trees on public property since 1982, but disputed the notion that the city owned the tree between the sidewalk and the 100 block of West 17th Street across from Fassbinder Park.
Smith said it was inaccurate to call it a city-owned tree because the private property owner still had a residual or limited interest in the land for the public right of way. The land would revert to the private property owner if the city gave up its interest in the right of way.
As the discussion bore into the weeds with Bill Willis pointing out inconsistencies between ordinances and an information guide on Durangos urban forest, city officials promised to clarify its language as part of its ongoing revision of its land-use development code.
The public hearing was ultimately declared moot because of the two offers from the public to do the work as well as Bill Willis also committing to the project, too, while stipulating that he thought the citys $2,000 cost estimate was much too high.
The controversy also highlighted the citys 50/50 sidewalk program in which the city will split the cost with property owners to fix a broken sidewalk on their land. After suspending the program over the last few years because of the recession, Durango has tentatively budgeted $50,000 for 50/50 for 2013.
If property owners cannot pay for their share up front, the city will put them on a five-year payment plan with a low interest rate of 2.5 percent or so, said Julie Brown, the city finance director.
City Councilor Sweetie Marbury, who also has an uprooted sidewalk in front of her house, said she will be signing up.

Jabari Parker's 27 points not enough as No. 4 Duke loses 94-83 to No. 5 Kansas
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CHICAGO – For much of the night, Jabari Parker was the king of his impressive homecoming.
Then Andrew Wiggins swept in and stole the show at the very end.
Parker had 27 points, nine rebounds and two steals, but No. 4 Duke faded at the end of a 94-83 loss to Wiggins and fifth-ranked Kansas on Tuesday.
"They just wanted it more," Parker said. "They outplayed us in the second half. Me, I need to get just a little bit more experience. I've got a long way to go."
Parker, a former prep star at nearby Simeon High School, was 9 for 18 from the field and 5 for 5 at the line in a spectacular return to his hometown. But it was Wiggins who made the biggest plays in the final minutes of a taut thriller between two storied programs.
Wiggins drained a stepback jumper to give the Jayhawks an 85-81 lead with 1:33 to go, and then had a fast-break dunk as a trailing Parker picked up his fifth foul. Wiggins held his arms out and yelled after the big dunk, delighting the raucous crowd at the United Center.
"Big players make big plays," said Wiggins, who scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half. "I think our whole team, whoever was on the court, every possession we made a big play. That's why we came out on top."
Perry Ellis finished with 24 points and Wayne Selden had 15 for the Jayhawks (2-0), who went 27 for 35 at the foul line, compared to 16 of 28 for the Blue Devils. Wiggins also had eight rebounds despite battling foul trouble for much of the game.
Kansas scored 17 of the final 23 points after Rasheed Sulaimon made a jumper for Duke that tied it at 77 with 3:50 left.
"We didn't play a bad game tonight, we played well," Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We didn't play well on the defensive end in the second half and in big moments, we weren't able to get a stop. Part of that is they're good. They're really good."
Amile Jefferson had 17 points for Duke (1-1), which dropped to 7-3 in the all-time series against Kansas. Sulaimon scored 13, and Rodney Hood had 11 points.
"Defensive assignments, I think we missed a couple at key points in time," Jefferson said of the difference late in the game. "It was some foul calls. They stepped up and hit their free throws. But I think we didn't play hungry enough defensively."
The 10th meeting of two of college basketball's most successful programs was an unbelievably well-played game for mid-November. After No. 2 Michigan State held on for a 78-74 victory over top-ranked Kentucky in the first game of the Champions Classic, the Blue Devils and Jayhawks put on their own show in front of a pro-Kansas crowd filled with NBA personnel drooling over the possibilities for next year's draft.
Billed as Parker versus Wiggins, it was clear from the start there was much more talent on the floor than just the precocious freshmen stars. Jamari Traylor, another Chicago native, had an early block for Kansas and then hustled down to the other end for a trailing dunk. Hood made a jumper and helped set up Jefferson for a layup that made it 26-all.
That's when Parker began to take over.
The 6-foot-8 forward scored 12 of Duke's next 14 points, showing off his smooth, versatile game. He had two layups and two free throws before closing the stretch with 3-pointers on consecutive trips down the floor for the Blue Devils, leading to a respectful silence from the vocal Kansas fans.
"We didn't guard him very well," Jayhawks coach Bill Self said. "He was great. He was terrific."
Playing with a new, sleek haircut, Wiggins picked up his second foul with 9:30 left in the first half and spent much of the early going on the sideline. He had six points on 3-of-5 shooting at the break to go along with three rebounds and a blocked shot.
He began to pick it up early in the second half, making a jumper on Kansas' first possession. He also had a nice fast-break basket off a pass from Frank Mason, tying it at 51 with 15½ minutes left.
Parker was only getting started, too. He had a towering one-handed jam off an alley-oop from Quinn Cook, looking very much like Grant Hill from his days in Durham. He made consecutive jumpers to lift Duke to a 73-72 lead with 5:12 left.
"He was terrific and that's how you grow," Krzyzewski said, praising Parker for how he dealt with his return to Chicago. "I thought he just handled things really well."
It just wasn't enough to overcome Wiggins and the balanced Jayhawks, who outrebounded the Blue Devils 39-24. Ellis also had nine boards and three steals in a solid all-around performance.

Lefthanded Red Sox phenom Henry Owens won his third game in four tries at triple-A Sunday night, hurling six innings in Pawtucket's 10-4 win over the Rochester Red Wings.
Owens, of course was the Eastern League Pitcher of the Year for his season at double-A Portland, where he was 14-4 with a 2.60 earned run average. Despite being promoted to Pawtucket on August 1, Owens still ended up leading the Eastern League in wins, ERA and strikeouts (126).
The PawSox (79-64) clinched their fourth straight playoff berth with last night's win, and will open the International League playoffs Wednesday night, when they host Syracuse at 7:05 p.m. The best of five series will continue at McCoy Stadium Thursday night, before shifting to Syracuse for the next three games (if necessary). Entering Sunday's game, Pawtucket had a two game edge on the Red Wings, Minnesota's top farm club, for the IL's wildcard berth, but if the teams had finished the season tied, Rochester owned the tiebreaker.
As for Owens, he had spots where he looked invincible, such as the second inning when he struck out the side, including whiffing slugger Chris Colabello on a 74-miles-per-hour breaking ball. But then Owens lost the groove in the third, walking two men to open the inning, before Aaron Hicks blasted a double to left field to score Rochester's first run. Owens would yield another rbi-double, to DH Josmil Pinto, before escaping the inning.
The 6-6, 205-pound southpaw was pretty effective after that, holding the Red Wings to two hits over his final three frames. But one of those hits was a mammoth home run to left from leadoff hitter Eric Farris in the fifth inning.
Owens, who threw 95 pitches (63 for strikes), left having pitched six innings, allowing three hits and two walks, while fanning nine. He was charged with four runs, all of them earned, but ran his Pawtucket record to 3-1 before 9443 holiday weekend fans who had to sit out a seventh inning rain delay that stretched out to two hours, 28 minutes. Most of the crowd left when it was announced the postgame fireworks were cancelled by the rain, and perhaps a hundred people remained when the 6 p.m. game concluded some just after midnight.
Pawtucket's 79th win was greeted by players celebrating on the mound after Drake Britton had come on after the rain delay to secure the victory. Four straight seasons of qualifying for the postseason is a new mark of excellence for the team. The IL playoffs only include the three division winners and one wild card, and Pawtucket had gotten into the 2012 playoffs as the wild card before going all the way to the IL championship.
Offensively the PawSox's 13-hit attack was paced by Milton's Alex Hassan, who collected three singles and three runs batted in, while DH Ryan Lavarnway, continuing his hot hand since returning from the disabled list on August 28, added two hits and three rbi.
Hassan, who endured some early season bad luck at the plate, got a bit of a gift in the seventh inning, as he topped a slow roller towards the mound. Coming off the mound, Rochester hurler Deolis Guerra lost his footing and slipped on the wet grass, landing unceremoniously on his keister. Hassan would come around and score the tenth run a bit later, after new/old acquisition Ivan DeJesus Jr. worked Guerra for a ten-pitch at bat, before slashing a single to center. Hassan, with his three hits Sunday, now has 31-multi-hit games for Pawtucket.

Introducing, the first-round pick not named Tim Tebow.
The other guy. The guy the Broncos actually picked ahead of Tebow in the NFL draft.
In fact, before meeting this other guy, credit Tebow for helping set up the Broncos much needed 31-14 win Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks in the hottest home opening game in Denver history.
With all the hype surrounding Tebow, the Broncos could keep their weapon secret until Demaryius Thomas was ready.
That's the guy who introduced himself to the NFL on a 91-degree afternoon Sunday at Invesco Field at Mile High.
Demaryius Thomas.
- "He's not a secret, though,'' said Broncos coach Josh McDaniels as he walked out of the victorious home locker room. "I understand he's a secret to you guys. But he's one of a lot of guys we have.''
The Broncos were up 14-0 against the mistake-prone Seahawks but hardly satisfied. With a little more than 3 minutes remaining till halftime, McDaniels decided to unleash his special talent.
Not Tebow, the acclaimed quarterback taken with the No. 25 overall pick, but Thomas, who was taken with considerably less fanfare at No. 22.
When drafted, Thomas was considered a raw receiver with great potential and a broken foot.
Today, Thomas's greatest challenge will be coming up with an encore after he had eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown in his limited NFL debut against the Seahawks.
"We thought he would be up [on the game-day roster],'' said Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant. "But at the same time you are going up against him blind. He's a big-time athlete. With his size, he presents matchup problems. He came out and did some good things. You can't take anything away from him.''
It started with 3:19 left in the first half. Replacing Brandon Lloyd at the split right end position, Thomas caught a receiver screen on third-and-14 and bolted up field for an 18-yard gain. On the next play, Thomas caught a 20-yard in.
Pure speed on one play. All 6-foot-3, 229 pounds of physical specimen on the next.
His career was under way.
"We had a couple plays designed where we wanted to get the ball in his hands,'' said Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton, who now has 602 yards passing and three touchdown passes in two games. "But you get hot, you keep feeding him the ball.''
The former Georgia Tech go-route receiver caught four passes for 56 yards on that drive, which ended with a short Matt Prater field goal just before the half.
Wasn't Thomas' weakness supposed to be route running?
"I've been working on it a lot,'' he said. "I feel like I'm decent at running routes. It paid off today.''
Thomas went back to the bench until late in the third quarter. One more drive produced four more catches. This time it ended with Thomas catching a beautifully thrown 21-yard touchdown pass down the left sideline from Orton.
Lloyd got his catches, too, as did Eddie Royal. But with eight catches over two drives, it almost seemed like Thomas played the role of designated receiver.
"I wasn't surprised, I knew I was going to get a couple catches,'' Thomas said. "I just didn't know how many.''
Godspeed, Brandon Marshall. The Broncos' former go-to receiver is now playing for the 2-0 Miami Dolphins.
But if anything was learned from Game 2 of the Broncos' first season without Marshall, it's that everybody is replaceable.
One of the differences between Marshall and Thomas was seen on the new guy's first catch. Marshall's tendency once he caught the ball was to run east and west, or sideline to sideline.
Thomas sprinted directly in the direction of the end zone.
"He knows how to run once he catches the ball,'' Lloyd said.
"I think you saw a little bit of what we think he can be,'' McDaniels said. "He's a big-bodied guy that … I think the last play they got up there to jam him and he just kind of shrugged the guy off.''
Tebow, meanwhile, didn't take a snap. The ballyhooed Tebow Package was kept under wraps. Maybe that made it easier for the Broncos to spring Thomas on the NFL.
A player like this is only a secret once.

Offense explodes out of slump for eight-run outpouring against Shawnee Mission South; Immaculata passes big litmus test; Saint Mary's season ends and Lansing falls to Mill Valley
The slide is over.
With its 8-0 shutout of Shawnee Mission South Monday, wherein the club was finally able to shake an offensive slump, the Leavenworth baseball team broke its six-game losing streak.
"Eli Keppler got on to start the game and then we got two quick outs," LV coach Joe Allison said. "So it was almost was like here we go again. But then Zach Harris smacked his first home run of the year and it took the pressure off."
Following that dinger, the Pioneers added six more runs including a third-inning Micheal Baillergeon home run to pull away from its hosts.
Judson Cole pitched five scoreless innings, followed by shutout frames from Dustin Zink and Jose Cardenas in relief.
"Judson was throwing exceptionally hard today," Allison said. "Not that he hasn't pitched well this year, but today his control was there and it was coming in at another level."
Leavenworth, 5-8, will host Shawnee Mission Northwest at 5:30 p.m. tonight.
Raiders have 'banner' day
Coaches often label the type of contests Immaculata experienced Monday as measuring stick games.
Facing the No. 6 team in Class 2-1A, Valley Falls, the Raiders were going to find out just where they stood among the state's best. Turns out, they fit right in.
Thanks to outstanding pitching performances from Jarret McCall and Connor Goetz, the Raiders defeated its visitors twice by the same score, 3-2.
"The pitching, the defense, the clutch hitting; it was all phenomenal," Imac coach Met Metivier said. "This is the best doubleheader we've ever played as a team."
With McCall (11 total strikeouts) and Goetz (10 total strikeouts) dealing on the mound, the Raiders' offense manufactured just enough runs to win. Of the team's six runs on the day, five of them came off sacrifice flies.
"It was your basic get them on, get them over, get them in," Metivier said. "We had three defensive errors the entire day and that was it. Everyone was money."
Immaculata, 7-4, will be at Maur Hill Thursday for a 3:30 p.m. matchup.
Spires' season comes to close
During the second week of February, the Saint Mary baseball team began its 2013 campaign by losing three of its first four games.
Unfortunately for USM, the squad went out the same way it came into this season.
Over the weekend, the Spires lost 8-3 and 6-2 at home to Kansas Wesleyan on Saturday. Then on Sunday, the squad won 8-5 before losing 7-1 on the road at Wesleyan.
The defeats marked the end of the Saint Mary 2013 season, with the team finishing seventh in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference and out of the league's postseason tournament.
USM was 10-18 in league play this year, 17-28 overall.
Lansing swept by Mill Valley
Monday did not go well for the Lions on the baseball diamond.
In a home doubleheader, Lansing was first beat 12-0 by visiting Mill Valley and then 15-2 in game two.
Lansing will host Piper Thursday at 4 p.m.
