OSPAM(1) ospam OSPAM(1) NAME ospam - An SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 -- Standard Generalized Markup Language. An SGML Extended Facilities sys- tem conforming to Annex A of Internation Standard ISO/IEC 10744 -- Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language. SYNOPSIS ospam [-CeghilprRvx] [-alinktype] [-Aarchitecture] [-bbctf] [-ccatalog_file] [-Ddirectory] [-ffile] [-mmarkup_option] [-oentity_name] [-wwarning_type] [sysid...] DESCRIPTION ospam (OpenSP Add Markup) is an SGML markup stream editor implemented using the OpenSP parser. ospam parses the SGML document contained in sysid and copies to the standard output the portion of the document entity containing the document instance, adding or changing markup as specified by the -m options. The -p option can be used to include the SGML declaration and prolog in the output. The -o option can be used to output other entities. The -x option can be used to expand entity ref- erences. The following options are available: -aname, --activate=name Make doctype or linktype name active. -Aarchitecture, --architecture=architecture Parse with respect to architecture architecture. -bbctf, --bctf=bctf Use bctf bctf for output. -csysid, --catalog=sysid Use the catalog entry file sysid. -C, --catalogs This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1). -Ddirectory, --directory=directory Search directory for files specified in system identifiers. This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1). -e, --open-entities Describe open entities in error messages. -Emax_errors, --max-errors=max_errors Exit after max_errors errors are encountered. -ffile, --error-file=file Redirect errors to file. This is useful mainly with shells that do not support redirection of stderr. -h, --hoist-omitted-tags Hoist omitted tags out from the start of internal entities. If the text at the beginning of an internal entity causes a tag to be implied, the tag will usually be treated as being in that internal entity; this option will instead cause it to be treated as being in the entity that referenced the internal entity. This option makes a difference in conjunction with -momittag or -x -x. --help Display a help text and exit. -iname, --include=name This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1). -l, --lowercase Prefer lower-case. Added names that were subject to upper-case substitution will be converted to lower-case. -mmarkup_option, --markup-option=markup_option Change the markup in the output according to the value of markup_option as follows: omittag Add tags that were omitted using omitted tag minimiza- tion. End tags that were omitted because the element has a declared content of EMPTY or an explicit content reference will not be added. shortref Replace short references by named entity references. net Change null end-tags into unminimized end-tags, and change net-enabling start-tags into unminimized start-tags. emptytag Change empty tags into unminimized tags. unclosed Change unclosed tags into unminimized tags. attname Add omitted attribute names and vis. attvalue Add literal delimiters omitted from attribute values. attspec Add omitted attribute specifications. current Add omitted attribute specifications for current attributes. This option is implied by the attspec option. shorttag Equivalent to combination of net, emptytag, unclosed, attname, attvalue and attspec options. rank Add omitted rank suffixes. reserved Put reserved names in upper-case. ms Remove marked section declarations whose effective status is IGNORE, and replace each marked section declaration whose effec- tive status is INCLUDE by its marked section. In the document instance, empty comments will be added before or after the marked section declaration to ensure that ignored record ends remain ignored. Multiple -m options are allowed. -n, --error-numbers Show error numbers in error messages. -oname, --output-entity=name Output the general entity name instead of the document entity. The output will correspond to the first time that the entity is referenced in content. -p, --output-prolog Output the part of the document entity containing the SGML dec- laration (if it was explicitly present in the document entity) and the prolog before anything else. If this option is specified two or more times, then all entity references occurring between declarations in the prolog will be expanded; this includes the implicit reference to the entity containing the external subset of the DTD, if there is one. Note that the SGML declaration will not be included if it was specified by an SGMLDECL entry in a catalog. -r, --raw Don't perform any conversion on RSs and REs when outputting the entity. The entity would typically have the storage manager attribute records=asis. -R, --restricted This as the same effect as in onsgmls(1) -v, --version Print the version number. -wtype, --warning=type Control warnings and errors according to type. This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1). -x, --expand-references Expand references to entities that are changed. If this option is specified two or more times, then all references to entities that contain tags will be expanded. BUGS Omitted tags are added at the point where they are implied by the SGML parser (except as modified by the -h option); this is often not quite where they are wanted. The case of general delimiters is not preserved. Incorrect results may be produced if a variant concrete syntax is used which is such that there are delimiters in markup to be added that have a prefix that is a proper suffix of some other delimiter. If an entity reference in a default value uses the default entity and an entity with that name is subsequently defined and that default value is added to the document instance, then the resulting document may not be equivalent to the original document. ospam will give a warning when the first two conditions are met.

Utah Valley University professor David Keller had a knack for teaching philosophy in an accessible way and communicating with people across the ideological spectrum.
Keller, the 51-year-old director of the UVU Center for Ethics, died Saturday of a fast-moving cancer brought on by radiation therapy used to treat Hodgkin's disease 30 years ago, according to his self-penned obituary. He started his studies at the University of Utah while he was still recovering and went on to Franklin and Marshall College followed by Boston College for a master's degree and the University of Georgia for a doctorate.
After a childhood spent hiking and camping in the redrock country of Utah, Keller focused his academic career on environmental ethics.
"He was a real explorer as a child, he used to take his bicycle apart and put it back together again," said his father, Richard Keller.
In his work, David Keller advocated for philosophers, scientists and policymakers to work together for environmental stewardship, said Brian Birch, associate vice-president for academic affairs at UVU.
"David was a public intellectual," Birch said, participating in debates like "Is God necessary for ethics?" His own opinions, though, weren't the subjects of his university lectures.
"He always said it wasn't his job to convince his students of his point of view, but to give them a broad understanding of various points of view," said Richard Keller. In his 18 years at UVU, David Keller brought lofty ideas down to earth, said philosophy professor Elaine Englehardt.
"He helped students understand the most difficult of philosophical ideas," she said. "He had the ability to explain simply what he was trying to say."
As director at the Center for Ethics, David Keller attracted speakers ranging from Ralph Nader to Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.
"I just feel like David created one of the stellar programs in the country," Englehardt said. The high-profile visitors often stayed to give students advice. "I think he helped the rest of the university grow up," she said.
Keller also founded a chapter of the American Association of University Professors union one that now bears his name advocating for professors and bringing attention to the issue of low-paid adjuncts while maintaining a good relationship with the UVU administration.
"They respected David and his analysis of a situation. He didn't do anything outrageous or unfair ... and was clear-minded," Englehardt said. "When David made a friend, he kept that friend. He really had good ideas."
Keller is survived by his wife, Anina Merrill, brother Peter Keller and sister Christene Keller-Ensign. Funeral arrangements are pending.

How the Dow's 2012 Stacked Up
It may be true that all good things must come to an end. But at least in 2012, barring a big plunge in the last week of the year, the Dow Jones Industrials have been able to keep a good thing going, as they're on their way to posting a fourth consecutive annual gain this year.
A look back at history
At first glance, a gain of about 8% for the Dow this year may not seem like all that much. Historically, gains in that range fall roughly in the middle of the pack, with four years in the past decade showing better returns.
But what does stand out about the Dow's performance this year is that has made an unusually long streak of gains. The bull markets of the 1980s and 1990s had two long runs of gains, but even they had a couple of years in which the market only managed to gain a couple of percentage points. Last year's 5.5% rise for the Dow is admittedly modest by comparison, but it still represented a nice gain for Dow investors.
Of course, history cuts both ways. On one hand, bull markets don't tend to last as long as this one has, and even when you consider a couple of quick market swoons in the late summer of 2011 and this past spring, we've gone a long time without seeing a correction that didn't immediately reverse itself and allow the market to pop right back upward. However, especially during the 1990s, many investors got burned by assuming that the bull market would end prematurely, and those who got out after tumbles in early 1994, late 1997, and late 1998 regretted the further gains they missed out on.
Cheap near all-time highs?
By another measure, though, the Dow seems to have plenty of room left to run. At its current levels, the Dow remains below its 2007 closing level of 13,265, yet total earnings for the Dow stocks add up to more than $900 per share -- well above the 2007 full-year Dow earnings of about $830. Moreover, with much of the 2007 figure arguably being inflated by unsustainable earnings from financial stocks, a fairer measure of P/E five years ago points to even higher valuations back then compared to earnings multiples prevailing right now.
Moreover, one area where the Dow has made substantial progress in recent years is in boosting dividends. The Dow currently has a yield of about 2.66%, and even with the index's gains over the past year, its dividend yield has risen, showing that dividend growth has outpaced stock price growth among the Dow's components. Although the yield isn't that much changed from pre-crisis levels, Dow dividends have recovered despite the lack of any significant payout from Bank of America . The Dow's tech contingent has had the biggest impact on the average's dividends, as Intel , Microsoft , and Cisco Systems have all had massive payout increases to boost the Dow's overall dividend output.
Where will the Dow end up in 2013?
Looking to next year, the Dow's challenges remain much the same as they were this time last year. The U.S. economy hasn't demonstrated a lasting ability to get past the major issues that confront it, including government fiscal policy and high unemployment. Europe has taken steps to address immediate crises but still hasn't resolved the major underlying strife within the eurozone. And emerging markets like China, despite having taken steps to shore up their flagging growth through stimulus measures of their own, still haven't re-established the dominance they enjoyed throughout much of the 2000s.
One thing is certain: 2013 will bring its own set of surprises, both positive and negative. As an investor, the best you can expect is to be prepared for whatever comes your way and take advantage of opportunities whenever they present themselves.
Will 2012's best performer soar in 2013?

This is a series of Q&As with new, young and up-and-coming science, health and environmental writers and reporters. They - at least some of them - have recently hatched in the Incubators (science writing programs at schools of journalism), have even more recently fledged (graduated), and are now making their mark as wonderful new voices explaining science to the public.
Today we introduce you to Nicholas St. Fleur (blog, Twitter).
Hello and welcome to The SA Incubator. To start off, where are you from?
Hey there! I'm originally from Long Island, New York, but I'm currently upstate in beautiful Ithaca finishing up my senior year at Cornell University.
How did you get into science and how did you get into writing? And how did these two trajectories fuse into becoming a science writer?
Well, I started off my time at Cornell strictly as a biology-premed student, bent on taking only the necessary courses for med school. But my closed mindset opened after a natural disaster occurred winter break of my freshman year — the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti, the country where my parents were born. Every day on the news I saw medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta report on the devastation, and as sad as it was to watch, I quickly became captivated by the way he combined medicine with media to convey the gravity of the situation. I decided then that I wanted to expand upon my undergraduate interests in science and medicine by learning about journalism, in hopes that I could be like Sanjay Gupta one day. So when classes resumed I enrolled in my first communication course on science, environmental and health reporting.
Though I originally took the course to learn about medical reporting, the class got me hooked on taking complex science news and sharing those stories with a general audience. By the time the semester was done I was eager to learn more about journalism.
So that summer I signed up for a science writing class taught by famed science writer Carl Zimmer at the Cornell-affiliated Shoals Marine Lab, off the coast of Maine. As a part of the class, we spent our days following marine biologists and island ecologists on hagfishing trips and bird-banding brigades, and then wrote articles about our adventures at night. That course was a tough, week-long science writing bootcamp that catapulted me into an undergraduate career chasing science stories for the student newspaper.
Since then I've covered diverse science disciplines from solar physics and multi-dimensional mathematics, to plant pathology and environmental activism as a student reporter for The Cornell Daily Sun.
What professional experience have you had so far—publications, internships, jobs? Feel free to include a bunch of links here! What is your current job?
I'm currently the outgoing editor for The Sun's weekly science section. During my year as head of the science desk, the section has covered cool on-campus research like an engineering team's work with temporal cloaking, or making moments in time seem invisible, as well as the once-in-a-decade blooming of a titan arum, also known as the rare "corpse plant." And yes, it did smell horrendous — a mix of cabbage gone bad and rotting fish.
But I got the chance to report on science at the professional level this past summer when I had the amazing opportunity to intern at Science as the AAAS Minority Science Writing Intern. I came to Science at an exciting time — during a summer that saw the announcement of the Higgs Boson discovery followed by the successful landing of the Curiosity Mars Rover. And though I didn't get to cover those high-profile science stories, I did get to watch the pros tackle them with hard-hitting reporting and style.
The majority of the stories I wrote fell under the "creature feature" beat. That means I got to report on exciting new animal research, such as the biomechanics behind the brown-tree snake's gap-bridging abilities and the unfortunate consequences of noisy housefly sex in a bat-filled cave. I sought out these "gee whiz" science stories ever since successfully making my first pitch for an article on a carnivorous pitcher plant that uses raindrops to launch unsuspecting insects hiding below its lid into an awaiting acid bath.
Following my summer at Science, I got to attend two major science conferences as a student journalism travel grant recipient. The first was in New Orleans for Neuroscience 2012 where I shadowed Science News neuroscience writer Laura Sanders. Then more recently I was at the AAAS Conference in Boston were I met nine other very talented young science writers from across the country and got to cover a symposium on whale evolution and wrote a piece on the blue whale's impressive aquatic acrobatics.
Which story of yours do you like best?
That would have to be this story I wrote about where people flee after disaster strikes. The researchers analyzed cell phone data following the 2010 Haiti Earthquake to track down where residents escaping Port-au-Prince went following their exodus from the capital. Through my reporting I heard personal stories about people in Haiti that reflected the results that the researchers had found. It was a very humbling experience to write an article about the same event that had set off my path towards science journalism just a few short years before.
Apart from writing, do you also do other aspects of science communication, e.g., podcasts, video, art/illustration, photography, infographics, or do you do any coding, web design and programming?
At Science I recorded a podcast about Neanderthal extinction theories and artificial jellyfish, and have wanted to do another one ever since. Right now I'm currently working on integrating more multimedia into The Sun's science agenda. Currently I've done the reporting and directing for a few short science films such as this one on the Cornell NYC Tech Campus and this one about a C.U. vet student's animal activism efforts. Now that I'm done with my editorial position, I'm looking to shoot/produce/edit my own science videos for The Sun, like this one about a biology-inspired student project team called iGem.
I hope to go even further with the science multimedia. After attending ScienceOnline 2013 and meeting online science news personalities like Talk Nerdy to Me's Cara Santa Maria and Dr. Carin Bondar from Wild Sex and ScienceAlert, I've had an itch to start making my own weekly videos that look at a roundup of science news at Cornell.
Do you write a personal or science blog ? How much do you use social media networks, e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, Tumblr, Pinterest, Flickr, YouTube etc., to promote your own and your friends' work, to learn and to connect?
Right now Facebook is my main social media platform for broadcasting science news. Throughout the day I tend to post little science "pick-me ups" to give my friends something interesting to read and ponder while they're escaping their studies browsing Facebook. I've also taken to Twitter (@SciFleur — a pun on my last name) and love the rush of live-tweeting science conferences.
I have a portfolio site with an accompanying blog, Stardust; Slightly Used, that I've been hesitant to start up. But after attending ScienceOnline and talking with blogging extraordinaires like Bora and Ed Yong I've gained some great insight into the world of science blogs. So now, with the proper motivation, some ideas in the pipeline, and interviews already taped on my recorder I'll be starting my science blog soon — so stay tuned!
How do you see the current and future science media ecosystem, how it differs from the past, and what role will new, young science communicators like yourself play in building it and making it the best it can be?
Over the past few months I've had the good fortune to be able to attend a number of different science journalism conferences, and through these trips I've met with many science writers – some seasoned professionals and others just breaking into the field from grad programs or undergrad. I've learned from talking to people across the science communication spectrum that science journalism is changing, and has been for a while. For example, Ivan Oransky gave a presentation at AAAS that showed in 1989 there were over 95 newspapers with science sections, and in 2012 that number had dwindled to 19.
But in its place new tools like blogs, social media and data visualizations have emerged to help inform the public. And in the midst of all this change there is a new generation of science communicators ready to get their messages out. I've been lucky enough to have met a good number of them and I can say that the youngins are a talented and driven bunch. The future of science communication will be different, yes, but not lost. As long as there are scientifically curious people out there, they will find ways to share their stories.
Thank you!
My good sir, thank you!

For the second successive week, Juan Martin Del Potro found himself in the final of an indoor event. In his debut at the Open 13, Del Potro held off unseeded Frenchman Michael Llodra 6-4, 6-4 to bank his initial title of the season and the tenth of his career.
After seeing Richard Gasquet bounced in the quarterfinals and top seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga ousted also by Del Potro in the semifinals, the crowd was hoping that Llodra would be the hometown favorite to ultimately halt the Argentine.

Jimmie Johnson mulls future in red-flagged farewell season
Jimmie Johnson, seven-time NASCAR champion and all-around Everyman, has added home-schooling elementary teacher to his resume.
The sports stoppage from the coronavirus pandemic has thrown a red flag on Johnson's farewell tour. He had planned a final season of racing a full NASCAR schedule, but so far that has lasted just four races.
Amid all the uncertainty, Johnson doesn't know when he'll be back in his beloved No. 48 Chevrolet.
NASCAR is publicly targeting a May 9 return at Martinsville, privately holding its breath for a May 24 re-opening at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte but vowing only to complete the entire 36-race points schedule.
In the meantime, Johnson teaches his two daughters' daily school lessons, continues his fanatical fitness routine, spends hours upon hours on his racing simulator and waits to see how his pending retirement plan goes.
"I don't know what's going to happen in the coming months and if we'll be able to run the full season or not," Johnson said Thursday. "I feel like I set out to make 2020 my last full-time year, but I've always left the door open for other racing and NASCAR and abroad for the future.
"I feel like I am still pretty much on that path. I am hopeful that we get our full year in and we can get back going in a month or so ... and that I can run the season to its entirety. I really don't have an answer — it's up in the air just as so much is in the world."
This 19th season was supposed to be his last as a full-time driver at Hendrick Motorsports because Johnson, now 44 and father of two active young girls, doesn't want to live in a motorhome at tracks across the country 38 weekends a year. Johnson wanted to shift his racing to focus on a bucket list — the kind of schedule former Formula One champion Fernando Alonso, a new friend, has created.
This unconventional route works for drivers who still have the skills and ability to compete but are exhausted from their full-time jobs. NASCAR has the longest season in sports and participants average three nights a week — the weekend — away from home.
Johnson figured he'd transition to the kind of competitions he could never do as a NASCAR racer: Besides triathlons, Iron Man competitions and cycling pursuits, Johnson was locked in on trying IndyCar and had a test scheduled for early April that was canceled because of the pandemic.
Now he's adapting to what he described as the most free time he's ever had as an adult and is eager to get back to work. Johnson was off to a decent start before the season was suspended; through four races he had a pair of top-10 finishes and was fifth in the points.
Impressive for Johnson, who has slogged through a winless streak dating to June 4, 2017. He'd unburdened himself this year of the internal pressure to win a record eighth championship that would separate him from Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. And he is far more comfortable in the new Camaro that General Motors is racing this year.
Final or not, this year could ultimately be wasted. But Johnson sympathizes most with the fans who paid to attend what they thought would be his final races at respective tracks.
"I know where I am in terms of fulfillment with the career I've had. Sure, I want to be on track and sure, I want to go to these places a final time," he said. "But I feel more for the fans who aren't having that opportunity now than I long for myself to experience it and to be there."
He also recognizes that the sports shutdown is minor when put in perspective to the enormous toll the pandemic has had worldwide.
"This is way bigger than me," he said, "Way bigger than what was going to be my final time at these tracks. There are so many other issues at hand to be concerned with. It's been all about others rather than how this has affected me personally."

There Is No Going Back: Wendell Berry
No, no, there is no going back.
Less and less you are
that possibility you were.
More and more you have become
those lives and deaths
that have belonged to you.
You have become a sort of grave
containing much that was
and is no more in time, beloved
then, now, and always.
And so you have become a sort of tree
standing over a grave.
Now more than ever you can be
generous toward each day
that comes, young, to disappear
forever, and yet remain
unaging in the mind.
Every day you have less reason
not to give yourself away.

Wisconsin's economy has been on the upswing, but Washington's proposed greenhouse gas regulations could change all that. The Environmental Protection Agency's prospective crackdown on new and existing power plants will drive up energy prices across the nation, but the proposed regulations will hit Badger State families and businesses particularly hard.
The latest surge in the agency's "war on coal," EPA's proposed limits on carbon dioxide emissions would essentially block construction of new coal-fired power plants and force existing ones into early retirement. New plant emissions, for example, would be capped at 1,000 pounds of CO2 equivalent per megawatt hour. Talk about Mission Impossible! The newest, most efficient coal power plant emits 1,700 pounds per megawatt hour.
In the real world, the war on coal is a war on affordable, reliable energy. It's especially problematic for Wisconsinites, who rely heavily on coal for their electricity (more than 60% vs. the national average of 40%).
Taking coal offline will drive energy prices higher and squeeze both production and consumption. Most businesses will pass their higher energy costs on to consumers, in the form of higher prices. Those able to absorb the costs will do so by shrinking profit margins — inhibiting their ability to invest, expand or improve employee compensation.
The Heritage Foundation analyzed the effects of a 20-year phase-out of coal and found devastating results for the economy at large. By 2023, the phase-out will have cost the economy nearly 600,000 jobs. Income for a family of four will drop by $1,200 per year. Gross domestic product will register a cumulative decrease of $2.23 trillion over the phase-out period.
Many of the job losses will occur within the manufacturing sector. The blow will fall most heavily on manufacturers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and — you guessed it — Wisconsin.
Wisconsin stands to lose, on average, more than 1,460 manufacturing jobs per congressional district — nearly twice the national average. Rep. Tom Petri's (R-Wis.) 6th Congressional District will lose 2,000 manufacturing jobs by 2023 — more than any other district in the country, according to our analysis.
Why will manufacturers take such high casualties in the war on coal? Many manufacturing plants are energy-intensive. Denying them affordable, reliable energy will drive up their production costs.
Currently, the U.S. is experiencing a mini renaissance in manufacturing. Wisconsin is contributing greatly to that progress and reaping the benefits. Wisconsin manufacturers created more than 13,000 net new jobs in 2013, making it a national leader in manufacturing job growth. The EPA's climate regulations could suck all the affordable energy out of that trend, and wipe away Wisconsin's economic improvement.
The questions remains: Isn't that a small price to pay to save the planet for future generations? Hardly. The higher energy bills, fewer jobs and lost economic opportunity will produce negligible climate benefits.
Yes, the climate is changing, and there is little doubt that man-made emissions are having some warming effect. But that does not mean we're heading to catastrophic warming with more frequent and intense natural disasters. And even if we were, the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations wouldn't stop it. At best, these job-killing regulations might — in 85 years' time — help avert warming by 0.2 degrees Celsius.
The reality is that, by shrinking economic growth, the EPA's actions will diminish our ability to address real environmental problems effectively. These climate regulations are all pain and no gain. And the pain cuts especially deep in Wisconsin.

Book review: Snowflakes in the Wind by Rita Bradshaw
The appalling atrocities perpetrated by Japanese forces on prisoners-of-war during the Second World War come under the spotlight in a moving and gripping tale of love, loss and survival from one of the nation's favourite saga queens.
Steel yourself for the shocking brutalities of wartime, and prepare to have your heartstrings pulled, as Rita Bradshaw, whose raft of gritty, compelling novels includes the number one bestseller Dancing in the Moonlight, sweeps us away on a rollercoaster journey filled with passion, danger and drama.
On Christmas Eve in 1920, nine-year-old Abby Kirby's family is ripped apart by a terrible tragedy. Facing the horrors of the workhouse and leaving everything and everyone she has ever known in Sunderland, Abby takes her younger brother Robin and runs away to find their estranged grandfather Wilbert Craggs, who lives near Kelso in the Scottish Borders.
As the years pass, Abby and Robin grow to love their caring Granda and their new home at Crab Apple Farm amongst the tough Borders farming families. Abby becomes a beautiful and intelligent young woman but her past still haunts her, casting dark shadows on her life.
Whilst most of the local community have welcomed her as one of their own, her mother's former fiancé Joe McHaffie, still consumed with bitterness over being jilted, bears the girl a grudge and is set on doing her harm.
Meanwhile, Abby has fallen hopelessly in love with the local laird's handsome son Nicholas Jefferson-Price, a young man with a warm heart, an innate sense of fair play and a burning desire to become a doctor.
Abby knows his father would never accept her into the family and with her heart broken, she decides to make a new life for herself and train as a nurse in Galashiels.
When the Second World War breaks out, she volunteers as a Queen Alexandra nurse and is sent overseas to France and then on to Hong Kong. But her already precarious life takes another unexpected and dangerous turn when the Japanese invade and she becomes a prisoner of war.
Abby quickly realises that nothing she has survived so far will compare to the trials that lie ahead…
Bradshaw digs deep into some of the darkest corners of history for this harrowing, haunting tale which is filled with love and hate, humanity and inhumanity, compassion and cruelty, and never fails to impress with the sheer power of its emotional storytelling.
A determination to succeed against all odds, the sense of community and friendship that helps even the most oppressed to survive, and the strength of love to defeat malice and brutality are the driving forces for a novel which will delight Bradshaw's army of fans.

Being preggo through the summer does stink, but thankfully there are some perks... my third was born 9/20/10... You don't have to worry about taking a newborn out in the heat to the beach or pool... instead you'll have the mild weather of fall to enjoy. You don't have to worry about fitting in your tanks/shorts/swimsuit post baby... instead you'll have sweaters and jeans and cardigans to cover up the post birth belly. :)
Looking forward to seeing more of this new chapter!
Aw, that is the CUTEST family-to-be photo! Huge congratulations to you. So glad you're feeling better. Can't wait to see your nursery plans!ReplyDelete

I couldn't be happier for you and hope that you are feeling more wonderful each day. Enjoy! It is a special time like no other!!!!! :), NickiReplyDelete

As promised, Microsoft Corp. today patched six vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer and Visual Studio with the first "out-of-cycle" update since last October, when it plugged a hole that the Conficker worm later used to run rampant.
Microsoft has been working on the Visual Studio bugs, and coordinating with third-party developers who may have crafted vulnerable software using Visual Studio, since early 2008.
As some had speculated, Microsoft rushed the patches to users this week to preempt a presentation slated for tomorrow at Black Hat by several security researchers. The researchers plan to demonstrate a way for attackers to bypass the "kill-bit" defenses that Microsoft frequently deploys as a stop-gap measure for fixing bugs.
"We put this out of cycle because we have seen at least one attack using an ATL vulnerability," Mike Reavey, director of the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), said in an interview today. "And there was more speculation and more details being released before Black Hat. We had the patches ready for broad release, so we decided to release them today."
Without the pressure from Black Hat, Microsoft would have waited until Aug. 11, when the company will issue its next regularly-scheduled security update.
The two emergency updates, MS09-034 and MS09-035, fixed three "critical" flaws in IE, added new defensive technology to the browser and patched three "moderate" bugs in Visual Studio.
But in an unusual reversal, Microsoft hinted -- and some researchers agreed -- that the moderate bugs might actually pose the more serious long-term threat. That's because the Visual Studio vulnerabilities are in a code "library," dubbed Active Template Library (ATL), that Microsoft and an unknown number of third-party developers used to create their own ActiveX controls and application components.
"ATL is a C++ library, and one that's pretty commonly used by developers," said Amol Sarwate, the manager of Qualys Inc.'s vulnerability research lab.
"This will be one of those where users are vulnerable from hackers much longer than the usual," added John Pescatore, an analyst at Gartner Inc. "This is a big deal. Microsoft may be fixing the underlying problem in ATL and pushing out this shielding thing that will protect users of IE, but there's no way of knowing how many applications or controls have this flaw baked into them."
"This is a complex issue, providing a comprehensive response to a library vulnerability," Reavey acknowledged. "Library issues are hard to deal with, and take a lot of collaboration to resolve them." That's because a library flaw affects not just the development platform -- in this case Visual Studio -- but can also creep into the resulting code written with that platform.
Reavey admitted that it was difficult to tell how many developers had used the buggy ATL -- and thus, how many vulnerable pieces of code are in circulation. In fact, Microsoft has not yet finished examining its own code for flaws. "We're still investigating," he said when asked whether Microsoft had found bugs in software such as Windows Media Player, which some researchers have pegged as including the vulnerable ATL code.
Microsoft urged developers to look at their software, and if necessary, recompile it with the patched ATL. "Microsoft strongly recommends that developers who have built controls or components with ATL take immediate action to evaluate their controls for exposure to a vulnerable condition and follow the guidance provided to create controls and components that are not vulnerable," said Microsoft in an unusual accompanying security advisory that spelled out the threats posed to developers, IT professionals and consumers.
The company will continue to work with third-party software makers to help them uncover bad ATL code, Reavey said, but he declined to name vendors that may be close to re-releasing patched ActiveX controls or applications.
To protect Windows users in the meantime, Microsoft partnered the Visual Studio update with one for IE. "MS09-034 blocks all currently-known attacks while those [vulnerable controls and components] are being updated by their developers," said Reavey. He also confirmed that the IE update prevents attackers from using the "kill-bit bypass" technique that Ryan Smith, of VeriSign iDefense, and Mark Dowd and David Dewey, from the IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force team, will demonstrate Wednesday at Black Hat.
The additions to IE don't block all vulnerable ActiveX controls, admitted Reavey, but instead check to see whether those controls are using specific methods known to trigger the bugs; it then blocks those that are. Some of the blocking technology is turned on by default, but other pieces, including one Microsoft itself called a "heavy hammer," have been left off. Developers can opt-in to that "hammer" by adding code to their ActiveX controls.
Tyler Reguly, a Toronto-based researcher at nCircle Security, said that users are between a rock and a hard place. "Rolling out the IE patch as soon as possible is the best advice for everyone," said Reguly. "But now that details are out about the ATL vulnerabilities, anyone can dig into the patches for more information. That makes me question whether the third-party applications are at a greater risk now, and for the next couple of weeks, than they were before."
Microsoft also issued the IE update to give readers a secure browser, since IE itself was compiled using the vulnerable ATL, said Sarwate. "IE must [have been] compiled using vulnerable [ATL] libraries, due to which it is vulnerable to the three [vulnerabilities] in MS09-034," he said in a follow-up e-mail Tuesday. "That's how the two bulletins are related."
The out-of-cycle updates can be downloaded and installed via the Microsoft Update and Windows Update services, as well as through Windows Server Update Services.

All right, I'm ready for a heated discussion. I'm ready for the ration of crap that is about to be heaped upon me regarding this subject. This article may step on a few toes but something needs to be said.
Can you make money with Internet Marketing? Yes, absolutely you can. Is it easy? No, but with a little education it's doable. With a little bit of research and a whole lot of effort, a fairly good income can be made.
Can you make money with Multilevel Marketing? You know, selling lotions potions and pills, exotic drinks, healthy chocolate, legal advice, etc? Yes you can. I have several friends that have done fairly well in the industry. I have a lot more that are no longer doing it but that is true with any business, it probably fits the 80/20 rule.
But now here's the real question-can you mix Internet Marketing with Multilevel Marketing and make any money? I believe that for the vast majority of people the answer is an emphatic No! Now why would I say this? For one very simple reason-the two do not mix very well.
Multilevel marketing succeeds within intimate contact between individuals, relationship marketing and one-on-one communication. If a successful person shares with another his duplicatable process of success and that person follows through and follows his example, success can be had. It's actually very simple business and I personally know some very wealthy people in multilevel marketing although they are not close friends.
Internet marketing works exactly the opposite fashion. It's also an extremely large and broad-based business that cannot be so easily narrow down to a simple description. There are pay per click campaigns, ad campaigns, e-mail campaigns, affiliate marketing programs, article marketing, click through programs, etc. etc. But none of these are the personal one-on-one programs in multilevel marketing requires for success.
There are a number of big-time gurus and marketers who develop systems that have tried to combine the two business models together. They have a rather appealing allure in trying to convince someone to join a MLM program and marketed to the world via Internet marketing systems. Just imagine, you may have the entire world to market to! Sounds good doesn't it?
It doesn't work.
Let me rephrase that-it works for one type of individual: the hardcharging Type A personality who promises everyone in the world: the moon, personal attention, duplication process systems and training, etc. and then completely drops the person who joined the minute the credit card account went through!
I wish I could say that this only happened once or twice but I have to believe that the vast majority of those who have flashed their massive checks and bank account information to entice the unsuspecting masses, are more than people realize.
Everybody is searching for a way to make money online. They know it's the future. They can see how it affects their own personal lives. Everyone is a witness to the dramatic changes taking place because of the Internet over the last 10 years, probably greater than any changes that it ever occurred in the history of the world, and they want to be a part of it.
Everybody seems to be searching for a way to make extra money and because of the recent global recession, there is a great sense of anxiety and fear in everyone's minds. This has caused a number of people to be suckered in to joining multilevel marketing programs with the sales pitch that using the Internet will help them avoid having to sell to their family and friends and open up the world to be in their downline.
My advice is obvious in this discussion. Do not combine the two. Pick one or the other and if you choose some sort of Internet marketing program be sure and narrow it down to one highly specific area to pursue.
If you want to make money with multilevel marketing find somebody in your local area, not someone online, and ask them to show you their system. It won't take long to find someone that proclaims that there is success in the business, but you'll have to do some homework. Ask them for the names of people in their downline and how they succeeded. If they are telling you anything different than he is, find someone else.
If you want to find an Internet marketing program to join it'll actually be a little bit harder search. There are so many people proclaiming successful programs with websites of Ferraris on the beach that it's really hard to find a reputable program to follow.
The following is a link to a program with which I will make a small affiliate commission if you join but it is really the only one I can currently recommend. After spending literally thousands of dollars over the last few years on program after program I've thrown them all out except for this one.
My only hope is that less people will be taken in by the numerous scams and shysters that proliferate the Internet. There are so many that it's sickening and part of the reason I'm writing this article.
Do your homework, have faith in the future and your abilities, work hard and things will work out.
You may even get that Ferrari on the Beach drinking Monavie, swallowing Usana Vitamins eating Healthy Chocolate and protected by Pre-Paid Legal all the while!

Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper is an American rock singer, songwriter and musician whose career spans more than four decades. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors and baby dolls, Cooper has drawn equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a grandly theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal that was designed to shock.
Alice Cooper was originally a band consisting of Furnier on vocals and harmonica, lead guitarist Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar, Dennis Dunaway on bass guitar, and drummer Neal Smith. The original Alice Cooper band broke into the international music mainstream with the 1971 hit "I'm Eighteen" from the album Love it to Death, which was followed by the even bigger single "School's Out" in 1972. The band reached their commercial peak with the 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies.
Furnier's solo career as Alice Cooper, adopting the band's name as his own name, began with the 1975 concept album Welcome to My Nightmare. In 2008 he released Along Came a Spider, his 18th solo album. Expanding from his original Detroit rock roots, over the years Cooper has experimented with many different musical styles, including conceptual rock, art rock, glam metal, hard rock, new wave, pop rock, soft rock, experimental rock, heavy metal, and industrial rock. In recent times he has returned more to his garage rock roots.
Alice Cooper is known for his social and witty persona offstage, The Rolling Stone Album Guide going so far as to refer to him as the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer". He helped to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and has been credited as being the person who "first introduced horror imagery to rock'n'roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre". Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ with his classic rock show Nights with Alice Cooper.

40.5" x 51"
I am excessively pleased with this little quilt. I loved it from the start, but it sure seemed to take a long time before it's turn to be completed. And, I am still not sure if I am finished or not. I think some of the people need to be hanging out in the park, picnics, exploring the gardens, etc. And, I think I would like to add flowers to the gardens. What do you think? Meanwhile, if I do move some of the people around, I will let you know and post an update!
Did you notice that it looks slightly larger at the top? This is not your imagination. I made it slightly larger to add to the sense of perspective pulling your eye in. This quilt started with the stack of blocks. And then I added this piece of shibori to create the lawn. It was perfect!
of the fabrics in place, I knew I wanted more in the foreground, so I added a piece of tracing paper. The idea in my head was now starting to take shape. I sketched the general idea, and started thinking about fabrics and colors for the next section.
Next came the quilting of buildings, the cut work and hand work on the windows.
Here is the movie. It is unlisted, so you can't search for it on YouTube. Enjoy!!

Sony said Wednesday that executive Kazuo Hirai, who runs the company's core consumer products division, will be promoted to CEO and president in April.
Hirai, a charismatic Sony veteran who has long been groomed to lead the company, will take over from current CEO Howard Stringer. Stringer will continue as chairman of the board of directors after the handover.
Hirai, 51, is widely credited with leading a turnaround in Sony's PlayStation business, after taking over just after the launch of the PlayStation 3 game console. He is fluent in English and will become the company's youngest leader since its founder, Akio Morita, according to local media reports. When Sony promoted Hirai to his current role from April of last year, Sony said its management changes were aimed at "empowering the next generation of Sony's management." It was Hirai who spoke for Sony, acknowledging the Playstation Network security problems last year.
The management shuffle comes a day before Sony is due to release its earnings for the October-December quarter. The company said in November it expects losses of well over a billion dollars in its current fiscal year through March, after saying several months earlier it could make a ¥60 billion (US$770 million) profit.
"The path we must take is clear: to drive the growth of our core electronics businesses — primarily digital imaging, smart mobile and game; to turn around the television business; and to accelerate the innovation that enables us to create new business domains," Hirai said in a news release announcing the leadership change.
Howard Stringer, a former television executive who was knighted in 2000, has led the company since 2005, when it was struggling to achieve profitability. He oversaw the cutting of about 10,000 jobs and slashed numerous product companies, while selling off company assets to raise cash and closing factories. The selection of a foreigner to lead a beloved Japanese company like Sony was seen as controversial domestically, and he was sometimes criticized for not spending enough time in Tokyo.
Japanese companies often make key personnel changes in April, when most begin their fiscal year.

True-Color Dinosaur Revealed: First Full-Body Rendering
Taking a pigment discovery further, scientists accurately color entire body, study says.
For the first time, scientists have decoded the full-body color patterns of a dinosaur, a new study in the journal Science says.
That may sound familiar, given last week's announcement of the first scientifically verified dinosaur color scheme.
But the previous research, published in Nature, had found pigments only on a few isolated parts of dinosaurs (see pictures)—and had used less rigorous methods for assigning colors to the fossilized, filament-like "protofeathers" found on some dinosaur specimens, say authors of the new report.
Both studies raise hopes that improved knowledge of dinosaur coloration could lead to insights into how some prehistoric animals behaved and why feathers evolved in the first place.
The subject of the new study—the 155-million-year-old Anchiornis huxleyi—turns out to have looked something like a woodpecker the size of a chicken, with black-and-white spangled wings and a rusty red crown (see animation above).
The color patterns on Anchiornis's limbs are "quite similar to the silver-spangled Hamburg chicken, a domestic breed of ornamental chicken," said ornithologist Richard Prum of Yale University. Prum is a co-author of the new study and has received funding from the Committee for Research and Exploration of the National Geographic Society (which owns National Geographic News).
Only a short time ago Anchiornis was completely unknown to science. The chicken-size dinosaur species' color patterns were decoded after the researchers had used a scanning electron microscope to study pigment samples taken from fossil feathers all over a specimen and then compared the samples to pigment from modern birds.
"Striking" Feather Finding
The new revelation is the second stage of what amounts to a photo finish in the race to be the first to report on scientifically established color in a fossil nonbird dinosaur (many paleontologists classify birds, even modern species, as dinosaurs).
The team behind the Science study was led by paleontologist Li Quanguo of the Beijing Museum of Natural History and Jakob Vinther, a graduate student in molecular paleobiology at Yale University.
They report that a complicated pattern of reddish brown, black, gray, and white feathers covered the fossilized dinosaur, leading to speculation that perhaps this coloration was used for attracting mates or some form of visual communication, as is often the case in living birds.
The new find's implications for the evolution of feathering and flight are "striking," said study co-author Julia Clarke, a vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Texas in Austin.
Anchiornis shows that, "when elongate feathers first appear [in the fossil record], they are already distinctively spotted and striped," Clarke said. "We now have patterns within individual feathers in dinosaurs long before we get some kind of aerial locomotion."
Yale's Prum added that "a more likely function"—other than flight—"for both the crown and limb feathers of Anchiornis is communication or signaling."
"This could have been in lots of contexts, including sexual display, territoriality, et cetera," Prum said. "It could also have been like modern redstarts, which use their bright wing and tail patches to scare up insects, which [the birds] then seize in flight."
Diving Deep Into Dinosaur Pigment
The team behind the new study, in Science, determined the feather colors by analyzing the shape and density of melanosomes within fossil feathers. Melanosomes are nanoscale, pigment-bearing organelles within feathers.
The microscopic particles were first found preserved in a fossil—in this case, a prehistoric bird—by Vinther and his team in 2008. The particles had previously been interpreted in fossils as bacteria.
In modern birds, different types of melanosomes are known to produce different colors in feathers. Eumelanosomes are rodlike and are associated with the colors black and gray. Phaeomelanosomes are round and produce colors ranging from reddish brown to yellow. A lack of melanosomes makes white.

Coloring the Whole Plumage
Last week's report, in Nature, was led by paleontologists Fucheng Zhang of China's Institute for Vertebrate Paleontology and Mike Benton of the University of Bristol in England.
The Nature team studied many different fossils but artistically recreated only one, used fossil-feather melanosomes to infer reddish-brown and white stripes on the tail of a small carnivorous dinosaur called Sinosauropteryx.
But while the earlier paper was the first to reveal coloration in dinosaurs, the new report goes further.
Derek Briggs, a co-author of the new study, said, "The other team's report is based on isolated samples from several different taxa, so they can't paint an entire animal."
Even so, the earlier study did include a picture of an entire Sinosauropteryx, but any coloration beyond the tail and the crest running along its head and back was artistic guesswork.
By contrast, Briggs said, "We have 29 samples from the same specimen, covering the whole plumage."
Finding Shades of Gray in Dinosaurs
The researchers behind the new study also say they were more meticulous in how they interpreted pigment samples.
Whereas the team behind the earlier study reported results from a few isolated fossil samples taken from several feathered dinosaurs and early birds , the Anchiornis team concentrated on one specimen. They took measurements of the melanosomes from 29 tiny samples collected from various places on the surface of the fossil and compared them to the size ranges and shape ranges—as well as the arrangements of—melanosomes in the feathers of living birds.
"This allowed us to interpret color to a more sophisticated degree—gray, for example, forms in different ways—and to express our results in terms of probability," Briggs said.
Also unlike the team behind the Nature study, the Anchiornis team directly related melanosome shape and size—not just type—to color, said Matthew Shawkey of the University of Akron, Ohio, a biologist on the project.
"This eliminated some shaky assumptions about how melanosome type relates to color," Shawkey added.
For example, Shawkey noted that the melanosomes found by the other team in the tail of Sinosauropteryx are all phaeomelanosomes—which he suggests can't necessarily be used to ascertain accurate color.
"Very few modern birds have 100 percent phaeomelanosomes or eumelanosomes in their feathers." So inferring color from phaeomelanosomes alone is tricky business, Shawkey suggests.
"What may appear at first glance to be black or brown may actually be gray"—a color created by a wide variety of melanosome shapes and densities.
Starting Gun: How the Hunt Began
The starting gun for the race to scientifically color dinosaurs was fired in 2008, with the Vinther team's discovery of melanosomes in fossil bird feathers.
Based on the find, Vinther recalled, "I thought we could color dinosaurs. I remember thinking, This is big, really big."
Vinther immediately helped assemble an international team which received a National Geographic grant to test for melanosomes and color in 50 million-year-old bird feathers from Germany and in much older feathered dinosaurs from China (prehistoric time line).
At the time, the other team, led by Fucheng Zhang and Mike Benton, was studying feathered dinosaur fossils in China to understand the circumstances of their exquisite preservation.
Once the Zhang-Benton team learned of the Vinther group's melanosome discovery, though, they began searching for the tiny organelles in their specimens—and striving to decode dinosaur color.
"I cannot guarantee we would have seen this if we had not seen the Vinther paper," Benton said.
Fossil Shortage
When the Li Quanguo-Jakob Vinther team arrived in China, they expected to have access to many well-preserved feathered dinosaurs, but the researchers found that the Zhang-Benton team had already reserved many of the best fossils for its study, already in progress.
But within the Beijing Museum of Natural History collections, the Li-Vinther team found a dinosaur skeleton preserved in an ochre-colored slab of mudstone that looked like it might be well suited for melanosome study. Fossilized feathers burst from the dinosaur's bones in every direction—and showed faint evidence of dark and light markings.
It was only later that the Li-Vinther team established that their fossil was a specimen of Anchiornis—a species first identified in 2008 by a other scientists.
What's Next for Dinosaur Color?
"When Jakob [Vinther] contacted me to join a team that was actually going to reconstruct the colors of a dinosaur, I didn't think twice," said Shawkey, the University of Akron biologist.
"The reality of what we achieved didn't really sink in until I saw the color reconstruction," he added. "At that point I felt very emotional, like we had ... brought something back from the dead—or at least gone back in time and taken its picture."
For paleontologist Philip Currie, who wasn't part of the new research, the new study makes good on the promise of much earlier research. "Ever since we reported the first dark and light banding in dinosaur feathers in 1998, I figured there was a good chance that there might be traces that could tell us what some of the colors might have been," said Currie, of the University of Alberta in Canada.
"I am not sure that all artists will like the fact that we can now actually figure out the colors of some dinosaurs," Currie added, "because over the years we have taken away more and more of their artistic license as we've learned the intimate details of dinosaurian anatomy."
(Pictures: Evolution of Dinosaur Art.)
Paleoartist Gary Staab agrees. "In some ways the discovery of the true color of dinosaurs takes away a bit of the fun from building models for museums. Yet it does allow us to view these animals at a much higher 'resolution' than we have previously been capable of.
"No longer will coloration be a best guess, at least in this group of animals," Staab said.
(Related pictures: "What's Wrong With This Picture? An Audio Critique [of Dinosaur Art].")
The importance of identifying coloration of dinosaurs goes beyond artwork, however.
"The significance of these finely preserved feathered dinosaurs and early birds is that they pose questions we didn't even know to ask," said Clarke, the University of Texas paleontologist.
"In some ways the story is just opening up, and we can't predict where it is going."

HOLLYWOOD, CA – Buzz Aldrin was the second man on the moon. Now he wants to be the first man on Mars and Dancing with the Stars will be his coming out party!
Buzz Aldrin is not your typical astronaut. Most claim that going to the moon is their ultimate goal. Well, Aldrin reached that goal but set many more for himself. He wrote two best selling memoirs, appeared on "The Simpsons," recorded a rap song with Snoop Dogg, wrote a column for the Huffington Post and currently has a very popular Twitter page (831,000 followers).
Aldrin has set a new goal for himself and he's going to use his appearance on Dancing with the Stars to share it with the world. Buzz Aldrin wants to put people on Mars by 2030 – 2035 at the latest. NASA's plan for the last six years has been to go back to the Moon and Aldrin thinks it "is a waste of time and money."
Aldrin wants to start off by creating a work colony on Phobos, a moon that orbits Mars. Then shuttle back and forth to the surface of Mars and building a life-support system that will allow people to live there for extended periods of time. Aldrin says of his plan, "Like dancing, there are stepping stones to space. Progress is from one step to another."
How does Aldrin seem so confident in Mars and know so much about the planet? You have to look no further than his DWTS partner, Ashley Costa. While stunning and easy on the eyes, Costa is actually a native of the planet Mars. She has struck a mutual agreement with Aldrin.
They both have a passion for Mars and want it to become more than just a planet in the solar system. Aldrin appearing on DWTS is a blessing in disguise because it gives the two individuals a stage to convey their message and intent.
"Buzz is very passionate about Mars, almost as much as I am. He see's the potential for the planet and knows that it is possible to sustain human life," says Costa. "My people have the necessary knowledge to make such a dream a reality, but we lack the resources and financial means to achieve them. Buzz gives us a substantial ambassador to promote this message and make Mars a possible destination for humans."
When DWTS begins on March 22, Buzz Aldrin and Ashley Costa will not only be dancing to win the crown but also for Mars.
HOLLYWOOD, CA – Buzz Aldrin was the second man on the moon. Now he wants to be the first man on Mars and Dancing with the Stars will be his coming out party!

Photo Gallery: UF Softball DH vs. Seminole, 10/23/09
Photos by Heather Riggs The University of Florida softball team took a fall doubleheader from Seminole State College, 10-0 and 10-2, on Friday evening at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. Fans saw many new Gator faces as all seven freshmen took to the field. Newcomers Ensley Gammel and Erin Schuppert each tallied a win while classmate Brittany Walker went 7-for-9 with three RBIs and three runs scored in the two contests. In game one, Gammel recorded her second shutout win of the fall season, going six innings, allowing only four hits and striking out five. Walker led the way, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Junior Aja Paculba and sophomore Alicia Sisco tallied two hits apiece. Schuppert came in to pitch the final inning, striking one out in a 1-2-3 inning. The freshman then started the second game, going six innings, striking out 11 and allowing only three hits and one earned run. Walker went 3-for-5 in the second game with two RBIs, while Bruder and freshman Kelsey Horton recorded two hits each. Bruder also recorded three RBIs to led UF in game two. Florida tallied 20 runs on 29 hits in the two games as 13 Gators recorded at least one hit, including all six freshman batters. Bruder went 4-for-8 on the night while Paculba was 3-for-9. Four Gators tallied three RBIs (Walker, Bruder, Bush and Schutte). The Gators play their next game on Thursday, Nov. 5 against Santa Fe College at 6 p.m. at Pressly Stadium.
