As soon as we heard that AT&T and Samsung were holding an event today in New York, speculations started flying around. Since it was linked to a carrier, we could assume that it was most likely a phone announcement, which meant that it could be either the Samsung Infuse 4G or the Samsung Galaxy S II (though the chances of the Galaxy S II coming so soon are small). Samsung has taken care of the event, and now we have an official price and release date for the Samsung Infuse 4G, which we have been waiting for since last January at CES. The Samsung Infuse 4G will be launching on May 15 for the price of $199.99 after a two-year contract.
While being the thinnest 4G smartphone (8.99mm) in the U.S. at the moment, the Samsung Infuse 4G also features some good specs. The device will be sporting a 1.2 GHz processor, and will run on Android 2.2 Froyo, which should make the performance a very pleasant one for the average consumer. We know that Samsung always goes above and beyond when it comes to displays, and they have definitely done a great job with this one. The Infuse 4G will be carrying a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, not only making it one of smartphones with the largest displays available, but also providing high quality image and richness in colors.
The device looks great, but its stunning screen and incredible thinness most likely will end up meaning that battery life will be an issue. That is something many of us are already used to though, and it is a price that we have to pay if we want certain features. Aside from possible battery life issues, the only problem one could find on this device is the lack of a dual-core processor, but that is also something the average consumer could live perfectly with.
Anyone rushing to get this device in the middle of the month? If you need a little incentive, it will also come packed with an exclusive version of Angry Birds. For more details and specs on this device, just check out the press release after the break, and please tell us what you think of this phone. Will you be purchasing it?Show Press Release

Courtesy Suffolk Sports Information
QUINCY, Mass. - Seniors Nick Martinho and Greg DiMarco each went 4-for-4 and combined to drive in seven runs to lead Suffolk to an 8-5 non-league college baseball victory over MIT on Monday evening at Adams Field.
The host Rams (28-10) jumped out to a 2-0 first inning lead on Martinho's two-run double, and after the visiting Engineers (18-18) got a run back in the third on an RBI single off the bat of junior Steven Nunez, an RBI triple by DiMarco that was followed by a Martinho run-scoring double in the bottom of the frame extended Suffolk's advantage to 4-1.
DiMarco singled home his second run in the night in the fourth for a 5-1 Ram edge, and after MIT pushed across a tally in the sixth when junior David Nole tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by freshman Ryne Barry, the hosts grabbed a 7-2 lead in the bottom of the inning when sophomore Jose Alejandro tripled and scored on a groundout after which DiMarco doubled and scored on Martinho's two-out single.
The Engineers pulled to within a pair (7-5) after plating three runs in the eighth, as senior Kevin Wheeler doubled and scored on a wild pitch before a pinch-hit two-run single by freshman William Blackman capped the MIT scoring.
Suffolk added a key insurance run in the bottom of the frame when sophomore Tim Corcoran hit a two-out double and scored on DiMarco's fourth hit, an RBI single. DiMarco came on to pick up a pair of strikeouts in the ninth sandwiched between a Nunez single to record his fourth save of the spring, as junior Reid Jackson scattered eight hits and struck out five over 7.2 innings of work to improve to 5-1 on the season.
Martinho and DiMarco combined for eight of Suffolk's 13 hits on the evening, while Corcoran and junior Paul Vittozzi added two hits each for the Rams, who have won three straight and five of their last six outings overall.
Nunez, Wheeler, Nole and Barry each had two hits as part of a 10-hit attack for MIT, while junior Matt Loper allowed four hits and three earned runs over the first three innings to fall to 3-2 on the season.

The highly-rated 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League for several years now, and Alan Pardew's side have won the race for his signature, according to the French club's official Twitter account.
|Newcastle are 20/1 with Paddy Power to finish bottom
The two teams are believed to have agreed a reduced fee of £1.8 million, as the player's contract was set to expire at the end of the season.
The box-to-box midfielder has allegedly signed a five-and-a-half year contract, and will complete the move after undergoing a medical.
The Magpies are currently 16th in the Premier League after a disappointing first half of the campaign, following their fifth-placed finish last season.
But Pardew has moved quickly in the January transfer window in a bid to arrest their slump, though Demba Ba left the club for Chelsea at the start of the month and club captain Fabricio Coloccini's future is in doubt.
Sissoko is the fifth Frenchman to join Alan Pardew's side in the January transfer window, following Mathieu Debuchy, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Massadio Haidara and Yoan Gouffran from Ligue 1 to St. James' Park, and you can find out more about those players here.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Mike Trout could be the next to join baseball's growing fraternity of young stars who sign long-term contracts before they reach arbitration or free agency; the center fielder is in negotiations with the Angels on an extension that is likely to pay him well into nine figures.
Trout wouldn't be the first young Angels slugger to parlay a superb start into a handsome payday. Tim Salmon, the American League rookie of the year in 1993, signed a four-year, $7.5-million deal the following spring, with one hopeful eye toward the future and one wary eye on the past.
The dollar figures weren't in the same ballpark, but Salmon's decision 20 years ago was like Trout's today: Is the security of a long-term deal more important than the millions more you might earn through salary arbitration and the early years of free agency?
Salmon had a smashing debut season, hitting .283 with 31 homers and 95 runs batted in. He'd also had his jaw shattered and his face temporarily disfigured by a high-and-tight fastball in 1990 when he played for Class A Palm Springs.
"I was confident in my ability, but I had an appreciation for things like health and risk," said Salmon, who retired in 2006. "I was hit in the face by pitches twice in the minor leagues, so I know how quickly it can end. You can't walk away from that first guaranteed contract. At the time, that was the mind-set."
It still is, for the most part. The Atlanta Braves this winter secured five players, including shortstop Andrelton Simmons, who signed a seven-year, $58-million deal after one full year in the big leagues, and first baseman Freddie Freeman, who signed an eight-year, $135-million deal after three seasons.
Slugger Paul Goldschmidt had one year of service time when he signed a five-year, $32-million deal with Arizona last winter, joining a long list of players such as Evan Longoria, Troy Tulowitzki, Brian McCann and Ryan Braun who signed their first huge deals well before arbitration.
Trout, 22, appears on the verge of signing the richest contract ever for a pre-arbitration player.
The deals seem like a win-win for players and teams. Players set themselves up financially for life at a time when their peers are making near the major league minimum, now $500,000. Contracts are guaranteed, so players get paid if they suffer major injuries.
Teams secure their best young players at discounted prices, they avoid the contentious arbitration process, and they show they are serious about winning.
"You're locking up a core player, a special player who is going to help you win games and World Series," Arizona General Manager Kevin Towers said. "He's going to wear the uniform for quite some time, and fans can get behind him, as opposed to knowing two or three years down the road he's going to test free agency."
But there are risks for players, who could lose millions in potential earnings, and teams, who could be stuck with bad contracts if players are injured or underperform.
"When you get great talents at values that are dramatically discounted due to early payment, it's normally very beneficial for the clubs, which is why they continue to do it," said agent Scott Boras, who prefers his clients test the market as free agents. "I've seen teams save $80 million to $100 million on these deals."
Boras points to Jacoby Ellsbury and Shin-Soo Choo, clients who turned down lucrative offers in their first two years of arbitration and went on to sign massive free-agent deals. Ellsbury went to the New York Yankees for seven years and $153 million; Choo to Texas for seven years and $130 million.
Boras said Ellsbury's initial offers from Boston were for $32 million and $50 million. Choo's offers from Cleveland were for $27 million and $42 million.
"I go over the probabilities of every factor that relates to their performance, the contract, the markets, their durability, risk factors, and then you let them make the decision," Boras said. "After receiving that information, my clients have usually been more patient than the players who have accepted these."
Longtime agent Paul Cohen goes through a similar process, but most of his clients, including Longoria, Tulowitzki, Tim Hudson and Nick Markakis, have jumped on such offers.
"Our view is you never turn down your first fortune, especially if you can keep your free-agent years intact at age 29 or 30," Cohen said. "Some guys will outperform their deals, some will underperform, some will get hurt.
"You have to be very careful when you're doing this to not be a cowboy or cavalier because you don't know when that 'oops' moment is going to happen."
One year after hitting .239 with 22 homers and 64 RBIs to win AL rookie-of-the-year honors in 2004, Bobby Crosby, a power-hitting shortstop and Cohen client, signed a five-year, $13-million deal with Oakland. A year later, he was tabbed a most-valuable-player candidate.
"People were asking us why we signed that deal," Cohen said. "They thought he would make $100 million."
Then the "oops" moments started piling up. Crosby sustained fractures in both wrists when he was hit by pitches; his ankle was shattered in a home-plate collision; his ribs were cracked when he was hit by a pitch; and a disk in his back ruptured when he dived for a ball.
Crosby averaged 103 games, eight homers and 40 RBIs a season in the final four years of the deal, hitting .239. He was released after 2009 and retired in 2010.
"By 29, he was a shadow of himself — injuries ended his career," Cohen said. "The point is, you just don't know."
Crosby, 34, lives in a high-end gated community in South Orange County. He doesn't have to work, but he did begin scouting and recruiting for Cohen's firm last year.
"I was very lucky," Crosby said. "If I hadn't done that deal, honestly, after my third year, I would have been sent to the minor leagues. My life would be a lot different than it is now. It propelled me to live a lifestyle I want to live."
Cleveland signed Grady Sizemore to a six-year, $23.5-million deal in 2006, but injuries limited the outfielder to 104 games in the final two years of the deal, when he hit .220 with 10 homers and 45 RBIs and made $13.5 million.
Teams can mitigate risk by insuring long-term deals, but premiums are expensive, running as high as 10% of a contract's annual value. Their best bet is to invest in the right players.
"First and foremost is character — are they the type of people you want long term, who will represent your organization the way you want?" Towers said. "Next is skill set. Have we seen the best of them or are they going to get better?"
Towers has "more of a comfort level" signing position players than pitchers "because you're dealing with more of an injury risk with an arm," he said. He also considers body types and a player's lifestyle.
"What are their hobbies?" Towers said. "Are they drinkers, smokers, dippers? Are they in the weight room? Do they take care of their bodies in and out of season?"
Trout, the AL MVP runner-up in 2012 and 2013, is not considered high-risk, but his elite status and the fact he is four years away from free agency make negotiations tricky.
The Angels don't have to pay Trout like an unrestricted free agent, but they don't want to risk low-balling him. There could also be pressure on Trout to demand more.
"I didn't have the union saying hold out for more as a rookie," Salmon said. "Mike is arguably the best player in the game. There could be external pressures on him to stretch that bar, to hold out for that big contract, because he is that premier player."
A six-year extension starting in 2015 would secure Trout through three arbitration years and three free-agent years and allow him to be a free agent at 29.
The Angels prefer a deal of seven years or more, but they don't want to push too hard.
"It's a good problem to have, and I'm sure the Angels are embracing it," Athletics GM Billy Beane said. "They have a very talented young player."
Though the Angels hold Trout's rights for four more years, there is an urgency to complete a deal this spring.
"The closer a player gets to free agency, the more apt he is to test it," Towers said. "If you wait too long and he keeps posting big numbers, he's more apt to go find out what he's worth when 29 other clubs can bid on his services."

Clint Bowyer (L), Rob Kauffman and Michael Waltrip, walking to victory lane (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
A three-man sprint to the NASCAR championship at Homestead?
Hey, don't write off Clint Bowyer quite that fast.
Bowyer's third win of the season -- and it came here Saturday night just as in his other two, at Sonoma and Richmond, in gas mileage battles -- puts him back into contention. He's hanging in just 28 points behind leader Brad Keselowski, whose gas mileage gambit late in the Bank of America 500 went a bit awry.
Keselowski was cruising easily, with by far the fastest car. But he tried to stretch his fuel one lap too far, and instead of a victory he wound up 11th.
Bowyer was downright giddy with the win: "This is my worst track....
"Who would have thought in a million years after making this switch (leaving team owner Richard Childress after six years and joining Michael Waltrip), coming over to a new family -- and everything that was new -- that we would be in victory lane three times.
"Five races left, and we're still in contention for a championship.
"Our first year together, to be able to do that, with a brand new sponsor, a brand new manufacturer....
"I'm telling you the truth -- I was almost uncomfortable going to the shop at the beginning of the year because I didn't know one face there.
"I knew Ty Norris and Brian Pattie and Michael; other than that, I didn't know anybody."
And Bowyer conceded he was a little worried about the engines.
"I'd heard a lot of rumors about the engines... the engines... the engines. Let me tell you something: in a short amount of time from the beginning of the year until right now, they've slowly and steadily become the best engine program in the sport."
Bowyer was new, and so was Pattie, and so was competition director Scott Miller (also from the Childress camp). And the success Bowyer and his new teammates have had -- particularly compared to the lack of success the team he just left has had -- has been one of this season's top stories.
Waltrip, who suffered mightily in this sport since becoming a team owner in 2007, has been wild about the success. This is not only Bowyer's career best season, it's Waltrip's too.
"This is the third time we've won and the third time we've had to push it to victory lane," Pattie said, pleased with outfoxing his competition like that.
"I stopped and congratulated Denny on a great run," Waltrip said. "And Denny said 'I've got too much gas left. I waited too long to make my run.' I said 'No, you didn't; you did perfect.'"
Behind the scenes, though, Waltrip says Bowyer and Pattie have, well, worked hard to make it work:
"It's a classic Days of Thunder. On Thursday Clint said 'I'm going to run it my way.' Then Brian --, aka Harry Hogg -- said 'Now we're going to run it my way.'
" Clint learned a lot Thursday."
Bowyer wasn't the only 'winner' Saturday night for Waltrip. Teammates Martin Truex Jr. and Mark Martin also finished top-10.
Waltrip, as is his style, used deadpan humor and bluntness in his post-race recap.
"I'll be honest, I don't think Clint wanted to come drive for me," Waltrip said. "But he's like 'Damn, I guess I've got to.'
"He asked 'Do you think you've got cars I can win with?'
"I said 'We don't yet, but we're building them, and they're going to be great, and you're going to be happy.'
"It was a leap of faith by Clint and a leap of faith by Brian."
Can Bowyer and Pattie and Waltrip really launch a title charge down the stretch?
"Man, we're a hell of a lot better than we were leaving Talladega," Bowyer said.
"Yes. To be back in victory lane, with new life, new hope going into Kansas... there's a lot of races left.
"Kansas, nobody really knows what to expect there. It's a repave.
"You don't know if somebody is going to stub their toe, if somebody is going to struggle if it comes down to fuel mileage.
"All it would have took is for one of those three cars (Keselowski, Hamlin or Johnson) to stretch it out and run out of gas. That opens the door up for everybody."
Pattie agrees: "28 points is achievable over the next five weeks.
"It's a lot better than 40 down -- how we started the weekend.
"We weren't the fastest car tonight, we just had some strategy. It would be nice to win one of these things and actually drive to victory lane."

Adult Day Care
Namkee G. Choi
Adult day care centers provide important health, social, and support services for functionally and cognitively impaired adults and their caregivers. The adult day care services are underutilized, however, because of the shortage of centers, caregivers' lack of awareness of and resistance to using services, and the mismatch between the needs of potential consumers and their informal caregivers and the services provided by the centers. To foster and support the expansion of adult day care centers, lessons learned from national demonstration programs need to be disseminated, and social workers need to be trained to provide essential services at the centers.
Adult Safeguarding
Nigel Hall
Safeguarding is an area of social work activity concerned with the care and protection of children or adults who have care and support needs and who may be at risk of abuse or neglect. This is a major concern for social workers who usually have prime responsibility for ensuring as far as possible that the vulnerable clients they work with are protected. People's ability to keep themselves safe is partly determined by their individual circumstances, and this may change at different stages in their life, so it is important that safeguarding is always considered in relation to the wishes of the person concerned. Effective safeguarding depends on a careful consideration of the factors involved and will almost always involve a multi-agency partnership approach. This article will primarily examine the situation regarding safeguarding vulnerable adults in the United Kingdom.
Afrocentric Social Work
Colita Nichols Fairfax
Afrocentric social work is a concept and praxis approach applicable in environmental and global settings where people of African descent are located. Using concept analysis as a methodology, this article explores Afrocentric social work theory and its applicability in the social sciences. Concept analysis is an examination of a thought or theory with the intent to create a more concise operational definition. Afrocentric social work not only is applicable to racial and social justice issues, it also is applicable to intellectual and philosophical discourses of social work, which has largely ignored Afrocentric social work as a viable theory and philosophical canon. The Walker and Avant method of concept analysis is employed in this article to provide a systemic discourse to define the attributes of Afrocentric social work, as well as its structural elements that scholars and practitioners utilize as a theory and praxis application.
Ageism and Retirement
Lynn McDonald
Retirement is a modest social institution that appeared in most industrialized nations near the start of the 20th century. The aim of retirement was to solve the societal dilemma of an increasingly aged labor force by moving older workers systematically out of their jobs so as to not cause them financial harm (Atchley, 1980, p. 264). Although retirement has been considered benign since its inception, the history of retirement indicates that it is one of the main progenitors of ageism in society today (Atchley, 1982, 1993; Haber & Gratton, 1994; McDonald, 2013; Walker, 1990). Retirement and its accompanying stereotypes have been used as a tool for the management of the size and composition of the labor force contingent on the dictums of current markets in any given historical era. Ever-changing ideologies about older adults that extend from negative to positive ageism have been utilized by business, government, the public, and the media to support whatever justification is required in a particular era, with little thought to the harm perpetrated on older adults. Unfortunately, society has subscribed to these justifications en masse, including older adults themselves. In this article the ageism embedded in retirement is examined to make what is implicit explicit to social work practitioners and policymakers in the field of aging.
Aging: Services
Nancy Morrow-Howell and Leslie Hasche
Despite high levels of functioning among older adults, chronic health conditions lead to impairment and the need for help. Family members provide most of the assistance; yet formal services such as in-home personal and homemaker services, congregate and home-delivered meals, adult day services, employment and educational services, transportation, nursing homes, assisted and supportive living facilities, legal and financial services, and case management are available. Even with the growing number and type of services, unequal access and uneven quality persist. In these settings, social workers develop and administer programs, provide clinical care, offer case management and discharge planning, and contribute to policy development.
Baccalaureate Social Workers
Larry D. Williams, Blenda Crayton, and Agha Erum Agha
The history of social work education is replete with accounts of how the early charity organizations influenced its development. For example, Toynbee Hall in London inspired the founding of Hull House in Chicago as well as the London Charity Organization, the Women's University Settlement, and the National Union of Women Workers. In addition, Octavia Hill established one of the first training programs in social work education that emphasized the principles for helping impoverished clients. The program was later expanded in 1890 into a one-year program of courses and supervised practice. Later, the program expanded to outlying areas and provinces and eventually evolved into two-year programs of study at the London School of Sociology
Defining today's baccalaureate social workers as entry-level professionals is indeed a paradigm shift. Tracy Whitaker, Toby Weismiller, and Elizabeth Clark stated in their 2006 work, "Clearly, the social work profession is at a crossroad. If there are to be adequate numbers of social workers to respond to the needs of clients in the 21st century and beyond, the sufficiency of this frontline workforce, must not only be ensured, it must be prioritized." In our ever-changing society, the social work profession must rethink the various levels of the profession and recognize, as well as promote, a professional career trajectory that embraces the baccalaureate social work professional. Administrators and faculty of each social work program are responsible for ensuring that students are competent, and that they possess skill sets that will elevate their marketable in a competitive workforce. Recruiting new social workers, replacing retiring social workers, and retaining social workers in the profession are all needed.
Bereavement Practice
Mary Sormanti
Bereavement, which is the circumstance of having experienced the death of a significant other, is associated with significant emotional, cognitive, spiritual, physical, and social disruption. Given its ubiquitous nature, nearly everyone is affected by bereavement at some point, and opportunities for social work intervention with the bereaved are many and varied. This entry provides a brief summary of our extant knowledge about bereavement including its theoretical underpinnings, psychosocial sequelae, and empirical evidence of related interventions.
Case Management
Maria Roberts-DeGennaro
A generic set of case management functions are performed in most practice settings. To improve outcomes within a complex service delivery system, case managers need to collaboratively work with clients and care providers. By incorporating the paradigm of evidence-based practice, case managers can improve decision making through integrating their practice expertise with the best available evidence, and by considering the characteristics, circumstances, values, preferences, and expectations of clients, as well as their involvement in the decision making.
Charitable Foundations
Helmut K. Anheier and Marcus Lam
Foundations are private institutions for public benefit. With a long history that reaches back to antiquity, foundations are experiencing a renaissance and increased attention paid to them by policy makers. Already by the mid-1980s, observers had begun to report the end of the relative decline in the overall size and importance of the foundation sector—a trend that had characterized the previous decades. Some analysts suggest the possibility of a new, third "foundation wave," after a first growth period in the late Middle Ages, alongside the rise of commerce and finance, and a second period of growth in the late 19th century, following the industrial revolution. Political stability, an increase in demand for social, educational, and cultural services of all kinds, and economic prosperity are certainly significant factors behind this growth. Yet a more immediate reason is the way in which foundations have been suggesting themselves as instruments of welfare state reform in the broadest sense.
Child Care Services
Laura Lein
Child care services, enabling parents to commit themselves to paid employment while providing a supervised environment for their children, have a long and complex history in the United States. Child care services can provide children with educational and other advantages, as well as custodial care. In fact, the United States has multiple kinds of services providing child care and early childhood education. Publicly funded services have concentrated on care for impoverished children and those facing other risks or disadvantages, but many of these children and their families remain unserved because of gaps in programs and lack of support for subsidies, while other families purchase the services they need.

Chilly Sunday nights promise to heat up with sizzling jazz at the OutCast Theatre at the Island County Fairgrounds in Langley through December.
OutCast Productions has a permanent home in the historic Pole Building at the Fairgrounds. The intimate, 60-seat theatre, co-founded by K. Sandy O'Brien and Ned Farley, has produced several cutting-edge plays since 2010.
Now the cozy venue plays host to Sunday night jazz concerts featuring local musicians, both well-known names and up and comers.
O'Brien cooked up the jazz concert idea with her drum teacher Scott Small, who also plays percussion in a number of local bands. Both Small and O'Brien love the idea of showcasing the outstanding talents of students and alumni of Whidbey Island schools along with those of professional musicians.
"There's a bunch of world-class musicians on Whidbey Island who are laying low and wearing beige who perform in big cities elsewhere," said Small. "We want them to perform here so we can hear them, too. Plus, what a boost for young musicians to play alongside these masters."
The first concert at OutCast on Oct. 6 featured South Whidbey High School senior Sean Leisle playing solo jazz guitar and paying homage to musical master Eric Clapton and others. He warmed up the audience for Latin jazz played later by Bahia that had audience members swaying to the conga beat.
Joining Leisle and Bahia for a few tunes was upright bassist Keegan Harshman, 20, who mesmerized the audience with his flying fingering and command of his instrument. Backing up the younger players on drums was Scott Small, who also played with Bahia later.
The first concert was a benefit for local musicians Kristi O'Donnell and Keith Bowers, whose home was burglarized in late September. Original music by Bowers and several valuable instruments were stolen, along with other irreplaceable personal items. The benefit netted $600.
The second concert Oct. 14 featured the South Whidbey Jazz Collective, a group originally formed as a reunion of the award-winning 2009 South Whidbey High School Jazz Ensemble.
"Several of these young musicians are now rising stars in the professional music community," Small said. "Keegan Harshman, son of South Whidbey High School band director Chris Harshman, anchored the group on bass, with Eric Vanderbilt-Mathews doing double duty on keyboards and sax, joined by 2011 graduate Sydney Hauser on sax."
"I rounded out the group on drums," Small said. "I have a great time working with these young players because they are so quick and flexible."
The South Whidbey Jazz Collective will return to the OutCast stage Sunday, Nov. 11 and Dec. 9.
The Oct. 21 concert featured Small again, this time playing with his son Jonathan, a gifted bassist who is studying performance and composition at Cornish College for the Arts in Seattle.
"It's the first time in almost two years that I had to work with Jon because he's been so busy studying jazz at Cornish," said Small. "He was a good player when he started college, so I expected something really spectacular from him at this concert."
The Small Jazz Orchestra plays original treatments of jazz standards, plus original compositions by Jon Small.
The Oct. 28 concert featured Coupeville Middle/High School band teacher Jamar Jenkins on guitar and local sax player Ryan Rogers playing sultry, smooth jazz.
"Jamar Jenkins, aka 'Mr. J.,' has roots in jazz funk that go all the way back to the legendary Seattle band 'Cold, Bold and Together,' the group that launched Kenny G's career," Small said.
Bahia will be back Nov. 4 and Dec 3, and Jenkins and Rogers will reappear Nov. 25 and Dec. 23.
In between repeat performers, the concert series welcomes singer Eleanor Fye and Friends on Nov. 18, and virtuoso jazz guitarist Troy Chapman on Dec. 16.
Concert profits benefit the musicians, with a small fee to use OutCast Productions' lighting equipment. Admission costs $10 for adults, $5 for students. A listing of performers and concert dates can be found at outcastproductions.net.
"We want people to come and see all the bands," O'Brien said. "The jazz series will be a success if we can establish a loyal, regular audience for these concerts. And what I love most about this idea is having a student act to open each performance."
"It's a real, professional gig for these young musicians," Small said.
Attend concerts
Concerts are at 7 p.m. Sundays at the Island County Fairgrounds in Langley.
Nov. 4: Bahia
Nov. 11: S.W. Jazz Collective
Nov. 18: Eleanor Fye
Nov. 25: Jamar Jenkins

McLaren back to Sharks after Flyers nix tradeNHL.com @NHLdotcom
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -The Philadelphia Flyers nullified their trade for Kyle McLaren on Friday, sending the defenseman back to the San Jose Sharks after he failed a physical.
San Jose traded the 12-year NHL veteran to Philadelphia on Wednesday for a sixth-round pick in the upcoming draft.
McLaren has spent this season with the Sharks' top minor-league affiliate after failing to make the San Jose roster. After struggling through last season with a persistent knee injury, he hasn't played for the AHL's Worcester Sharks since Dec. 10 after injuring his hand in a fight.
"Kyle has been very professional about his situation this season," San Jose general manager Doug Wilson said. "From the beginning of the year, we made a commitment to Kyle to find an opportunity for him to play in the National Hockey League. Unfortunately, this deal didn't work out, but Kyle will return to the organization and work towards the full recovery of his hand."
McLaren has six assists and 17 penalty minutes in 17 games with Worcester. He could be recalled by San Jose during the postseason, when his salary would no longer count against the cap.

BOSTON, Mass.—For the first time in over 20 years, the UMass Boston (11-3, 5-0 Little East) men's tennis team can claim to be Little East Conference champions, after their 9-0 victory over Western Connecticut State University (0-9, 0-5 Little East) Thursday afternoon gave the Beacons at least a share of the LEC regular season crown.
The Beacons playing at their home away from home on the "Big Nine" Tennis Courts in Milton, Massachusetts, dominated the Colonials en route to their program-record tying 11th win of the season. With the victory, UMass Boston wrapped up the top seed in next week's Little East Conference Tournament, because of a tiebreaker they hold over defending champion UMass Dartmouth.
The win also marked the Beacons' ninth-straight victory, a new UMB record for a single season, and the second-longest overall streak in the 33-year history of the program.
UMass Boston cruised to the victory over the winless Colonials, jumping out to a 2-0 advantage before the match even started, thanks to Western Connecticut State forfeits at number three doubles and number six singles.
Captains Charles Lai (Boston, Mass.) and Alex Loyer (Chelmsford, Mass.) pushed the Beacons lead to 3-0 with an 8-1 victory over Christ Turner and Matt Ramano at number two doubles to extend their doubles winning streak to nine in a row.
Sean Cullen (Medway, Mass.) and David Hernandez (Bogota, Colombia) put UMB within a point of the victory at top-flight singles, when the pair downed Brian Bucknam and Ryan Klem 8-6.
The Beacons officially wrapped up the victory at the top spot in the LEC at number five singles, when Seth Shavers (Boston, Mass.) cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win over Romney Tiru.
Lai kept the Beacons' momentum going with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Turner at number four singles, and Hernandez had no trouble defeating Matt Ramano in number two singles, earning a 6-0, 6-1 win to push the UMB lead to 7-0.
Loyer came back from a 3-2 deficit in the second set of his second flight doubles match, to take a 6-1, 6-3 victory. With his pair of wins on the day, Loyer extended his personal winning streak to 19 in a row.
In the final and closest match of the day, Cullen outlasted Bucknam 6-2, 4-6, (10-4) to help the Beacons finish off their second victory in 11 tries against Western Connecticut State.
UMass Boston will look to close out their Little East Conference with a spotless record Saturday when they travel to Bridgewater State University for a Noon match. Western Connecticut State will conclude their season with a 1 p.m. match at UMass Dartmouth on Saturday.

Northwood's Dominik Bermejo runs for a touchdown against Ottawa Hills. Bermejo rushed for 351 yards on 57 carries and scored 17 touchdowns. He also had 13 catches for 328 yards.
Buy This Image
With only six seniors on his varsity roster, plus two other returning letter winners, veteran Northwood coach Ken James said he is puzzled as to why his Toledo Area Athletic Conference football counterparts voted his Rangers as the favorite to win their third straight conference title this year.
But if the other TAAC coaches were asked to spell out their reasoning for James, they would likely respond with "R-E-S-P-E-C-T."
Since joining the TAAC in 2001, the Rangers have won nine of 12 conference championships, and placed second in the other three years (2005, 2006, 2010). In that span, Northwood has posted a dominant 65-4 record in TAAC games (92-37 overall), and advanced to the playoffs eight times.
So, when James seeks to have the bulls-eye removed from his team's back — because the Rangers return only three starters returning on offense and four on defense — TAAC coaches just aren't buying any rebuilding excuse.
READ MORE: 2013 High School Football Preview
Northwood (10-1 overall, 7-0 TAAC) received five of the eight first-place votes, and edged Gibsonburg by one voting point, to claim the favorite's tag, whether James wanted it or not.
"We lost so many guys and we're an entirely different team," said James, who enters his 28th season at Northwood with a 152-128 record. "We're not going to be as big or as deep, so that will change the way we do some of what we do on offense and defense.
"In reality, I'm not sure how we got picked that high, because other teams in the league have a lot more starters and good, quality kids back. I think it's more of a reflection of what we've done [in the past] than what probably capable of this year, I guess. We're the elephant in the room because we've had a pretty good track record."
Gibsonburg (4-6, 4-3) received two first-place votes, and Edon (7-3, 5-2), which was voted to place third, picked up the other first-place nod.
"You can only put so much into that," fourth-year Gibsonburg coach Steve Reser said of the poll. "If the coaches think you're going to be good, that's fine. But I think that's based off of our team over the last few years.
"Northwood lost a lot of seniors and Ottawa Hills lost a lot of seniors. That doesn't mean they won't be good this year.
"The recent history of Gibsonburg football has not been great. It's been 12 years since we've had a winning record. So, the key is, if we do get off to a good start, to make sure we stay level-headed and keep fighting the whole season."
Northwood, which was rightfully heavily favored to win the TAAC last year, when it returned 10 offensive starters and seven more of defense, posted a perfect 10-0 regular-season record before being edged 20-19 by perennial state power Patrick Henry in the first round of the Division V playoffs.
The most notable losses to graduation for the Rangers were TAAC offensive and defensive players of the year, Nick Russell and Nick Whitmore, respectively. Whitmore was a third-team All-Ohio selection at linebacker.
"One of our goals going into any season is to try to compete for the league title," James said. "At this stage of the game, we want to get ourselves ready to be good enough to compete for the league title when we get down the stretch.
"Right now we're just focused on trying to get better. Physically, we're not a lot different than we were last year, if we stay healthy. The size of our offensive and defensive lines, and the speed at our skill positions, are not far off from what they were last year."

Sony targets kids with a dedicated e-book section
Sony Reader's digital book store adds a special Kids Corner site.
Sony is tapping into the fastest-growing segment for digital book sales by launching a dedicated shopping portal for children called Kids Corner.
Launched last month as part of the Sony Reader Store, Kids Corner sells e-books in the EPub 3.0 format. That format is readable on most e-readers, smartphones and tablets, excluding Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindles, which use a proprietary format. EPub 3.0 lets publishers insert interactive elements like video and music into e-books.
Children's and young adult e-book revenue grew 196.4% during the first eight months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, according to the Association of American Publishers, a publishing industry trade group that tracks sales. That makes the category the fastest-growing segment of the e-book market.
Digital titles, including illustrated books for reading on devices using Apple Inc.'s iOS operating system, like iPads and iPhones, can be sampled and purchased in the Kids Corner. Most titles are also compatible with tablets and smartphones operating on the Android platform. With the new EPub 3.0 integration, many children's titles also include interactive elements. "The enhanced books make reading even more immersive and interactive for children," says Natascha Helbig, director of the Sony Reader Store.
Sony Electronics is No. 16 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide. Amazon is No. 1 and Apple is No. 3.

This doesn't get said often enough, but your members of Parliament are good people. They are decent men and women who upend quiet lives, endure the indignity of electoral campaigns, leave their loved ones at home and jet weekly to Ottawa. They bring big hearts and steady purpose. They want nothing better than to help their constituents.
On the "good people" front, I'd thought I throw out a few names of MP's that I see as sincere, genuine, representing all the best attributes we desire from our elected officials.
Paul Dewar is quite adept at making his arguments, without turning any discussion into a "scoring political points" affair. Always on issue, always demonstrating class, Dewar seems to have his priorities straight. I would peg Dewar as "the" star within the NDP caucus.
Nathan Cullen can throw some elbows, but rather than political posturing, you always get the sense it's more about defending core beliefs. Cullen comes across as tireless, and he is always well versed on any topic. On the environment, Cullen is probably the best MP in Parliament, always sifting through the spin to make accurate arguments, factually based and honest.
Libby Davies seems the perfect character for NDP House Leader. Whenever she makes an appearance, Davies generally comes across as dedicated to getting things done, moving things forward and trying to find common ground. Her tone is disarming, and while the nature of the job demands partisanship, Davies looks like somebody who wants to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
Quite simply, the conscience of the Liberal Party. Some would argue that Gerard Kennedy has made some questionable political moves, but I think that really speaks to putting principle above self interest. I heart Gerard Kennedy, he's in it for all the right reasons.
If I had to describe Martha Hall Findlay in one word it would "refreshing". Martha speaks in plain language, she cuts through the bull, but she's a smart cookie. Very effective in focusing on the real issues that matter, rather than parroting party spin.
If we measure things in terms of respect, then Bob Rae has no peer. People will note a curious anomaly in Parliament, when Bob Rae rises to ask a question or speak, the catcalls and background noise evaporates, the room turns silent and people actually listen.
Although nuttier than a Snickers bar, Stockwell Day has afforded himself quite well since the Conservatives took power. Day is always serious and he tends to argue the government position without reverting to partisanship. Day is a sincere advocate, and his demeanor is all the more noteworthy, given the company he keeps.
Michael Chong would be a prominent player in this government, but he's been handicapped by not towing the party line, when it conflicts with his principles. Chong has been punished in the past, but I've always been impressed with him in Committee, trying to find resolutions rather than grandstanding.
One of the few Conservative MP's I can listen to, because he comes by his views honestly and he tries to keep any debate high signal. I don't have to agree to recognize a certain amount of integrity.
Any other suggestions welcome...

By Abby Schultz and JeeYeon Park, CNBC.com
Stocks ended mixed and off the lows of the session, amid concerns over the U.S. economic recovery and a weak earnings forecast from Hewlett-Packard.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 68.79 points, or 0.55 percent, to close at 12,479.58, after dropping more than 170 points early in the session. It was the third straight day of losses for the blue-chip average, and the lowest close since April 20.
Hewlett-Packard led the Dow lower after news the tech giant said it would cut its forecast for the third quarter and the year—despite good first quarter results—citing the effects of the Japanese disasters, weak personal computer sales and reducing operating profit for services. In addition, at least four brokerages downgraded their ratings on the company.
HP's results were released a day before scheduled after news of a leaked memo by CEO Leo Apotheker, which warned executives of "another tough quarter."
Meanwhile, Home Depot was among Dow gainers after the home-improvement retailer beat profit estimates by one penny as investors shrugged off a drop in sales compared with last year. Home Depot blamed bad weather for the sales slump.
The S&P 500 fell 0.49 points, or 0.04 percent, to close at 1,328.98, the lowest close since April 19 and the third straight down day. The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.90 points, or 0.03 percent, to close at 2,783.21, edging into positive territory just before the market closed. Stocks have already had as many down days in May as in April. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, rose above 18.
Among key S&P 500 sectors, industrials and materials fell, while defensive sectors such as utilities gained.
Although it feels a lot worse, the S&P 500 is only down 3.5 percent from its peak in late April, said Oliver Pursche, president of Gary Goldberg Financial Services
"There's a lot more anxiety and a feeling that things are worse than they actually are," Pursche said.
Also, Pursche noted, the declines have been on declining volume. "From a purely technical perpspective, that's not overly concerning," he said.
Nonetheless, there are troubling signs that warrant investor concern. Recent economic reports have pointed to troubles in the economy, Pursche said. Also, Dominque Strauss-Kahn's arrest on sexual assault charges present an "unwanted distraction" that is "certainly not going to speed along the debt troubles in Europe," he said.
On top of that, economies in Asia are slowing down, and the second phase of the Federal Reserve's bond buying program, known as quantitative easing, ends in about six weeks.
"There is certainly some anxiety over what happens next," Pursche said.
In daily market action, traders were keeping a close eye on the 50-day moving averages of the major indicies. A moving average refers to the average value of a stock's price over a period of time. Traders use the averages to identify levels of support and resistance for the market.
S&P 500 futures, for instance, traded below its 50-day moving average of about 1,319 at late morning, but later moved higher, which traders view as a bullish sign.
"A lot of traders think (the 50 day-moving average) will hold, but if doesn't, I see an air pocket that takes you down to the 200-day moving average pretty quickly," said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading. That would be 1,230, Saluzzi said.
The dollar fell slightly against a basket of currencies, after trading higher early in the session. The slide in the dollar eased losses in oil prices with U.S. light, sweet crude fell 0.5 percent to $96.91 a barrel, while in London, Brent crude fell 0.8 percent to $109.99.
Precious metals also fell with gold prices sliding to settle at $1,479.80 an ounce and silver declining to settle at $34.49.
Meanwhile, bonds rallied following weak economic data and as investors continued to show preference in the safety of government securities instead of risky assets like stocks and commodities.
Also on the earnings front, Wal-Mart fell as investors focused on U.S. same-store sales results that fell 1.1 percent. The big-box retailer, however, posted a better-than-expected profit.
Among other retailers, Urban Outfitters gained after the apparel retailer beat revenue expectations, although earnings were weaker-than-expected. TJX shares fell after the parent company of TJMaxx said profit was hurt by the closing of its A.J. Wright chain, and a decline in same-store sales in Europe.
Dell is slated to report after-the-bell tonight, while several retailers, including Target, Abercrombie & Fitch and BJ's are expected to report before-the-bell on Wednesday. Deere also reports before the market opens.
Tech stocks slipped as investors shifted into the defensive sectors. Chipmakers were also hit hard following the HP news with Intel, Nvidia and AMD shares falling.
Financial stocks were among the exception. JPMorgan was among the leaders, gaining after the bank's annual shareholder meeting on Tuesday. CEO Jamie Dimon said at the meeting that the ecconomy was at the "beginning of a self-sustaining recovery," Reuters reported.
In IPO news, LinkedIn said it boosted the price of its shares by 30 percent to a range of $42 to $45 a share, Reuters reported. The new price would value the social networking site for professionals at about $4 billion.
The economy pointed to further signs of a slowdown after industrial output was unchanged in April, as factory production fell 0.4 percent, the first drop in 10 months, according to a Federal Reserve report. Analysts surveyed by Reuters expected a 0.4 percent increase in overall output.
And housing starts fell 10.6 percent in April, to an annual rate of 523,000 units compared with an upwardly revised gain of 12.9 in March, a 585,000-unit pace, the Commerce Department said.
Shares of most homebuilders slipped across the board, including DR Horton and KB Home.
In Europe, shares closed at a four-week low, weakened by HP's results and disappointing economic news.

CANTON, N.Y. - No. 6 St. Lawrence's offense is tough enough to contend with even when the Saints don't have a man advantage. But while Yale allowed only one even-strength goal Friday afternoon at Appleton Arena, the Saints went three-for-eight on the power play to finish off a 4-0 win.
Yale junior goalie Jackee Snikeris made 16 saves in the first period alone to keep her team in the game. St. Lawrence (3-2-3, 1-1-0 ECAC Hockey) didn't get one past her until a power-play breakaway at 13:20 gave Vanessa Emond the first of her two goals for the game. Less than three minutes later Kayla Sullivan scored the only even-strength goal of the game, knocking in a pass from Emond.
Emond added another power-play goal off a rebound midway through the second period. Sophomore Genny Ladiges came on in relief of Snikeris (23 saves) to start the third, but another power-play goal -- this one by Britni Smith -- extended St. Lawrence's lead to 4-0 38 seconds in. Brittony Chartier finished off the shutout with 15 saves. Ladiges made eight.
Yale (0-1-1, 0-1-0 ECAC Hockey) continues its trip to the North Country with a game at No. 3 Clarkson Saturday at 2 p.m.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Region 7 to Begin Issuing Orders to Obtain Access to Residential Properties in Omaha for Environmental Sampling
Release Date: 11/09/2011
Contact Information: Chris Whitley, 913-551-7394, email@example.com
Environmental News
(Kansas City, Kan., Nov. 9, 2011) - EPA Region 7 will soon begin to issue administrative orders to a small group of residential property owners in Omaha, Neb., allowing the Agency legal access to those properties to conduct environmental sampling for toxic lead in soil and exterior paint, all at no cost to the property owners.
Under the authority of the Superfund program, EPA has been working in Omaha since 1999 to identify and remove lead from residential properties. To date, the Agency has sampled more than 39,000 properties in the city with the consent of owners, and soil remediation efforts have been completed at more than 9,900 of those properties. An estimated 4,200 properties remain in line for soil remediation.
Beginning this week, EPA will start issuing orders to a group of residential property owners who have refused the Agency's previous requests for access to conduct environmental sampling. The first series of orders, which are being transmitted by letters, will go to six landlords who own multiple residential properties in Omaha.
EPA anticipates that potentially it may need to issue similar administrative compliance orders for as many as 900 residential properties in Omaha where owners so far have not allowed the Agency access to conduct sampling. EPA has the authority to seek judicial orders against owners who refuse to comply with the new administrative orders.
"EPA needs to sample this last group of properties in order to complete its mission to protect public health in Omaha," Regional Administrator Karl Brooks said. "We're confident that as property owners come to understand EPA's reasons and methods for this sampling, they will join in this mission to protect current and future generations of Omaha's children from lead poisoning."
Sampling of a typical residential property involves the collection of a total of about two cups of soil from various locations on the property. It may also involve collection of small samples of exterior paint, to determine if chipping or peeling paint contains lead, which can contaminate residential soil as it falls from a home. All sampling is conducted at no cost to property owners. Results of tests on samples are provided to property owners, and if EPA determines that any soil replacement or lead cleanup work is necessary, that work will be done at no cost to owners.
Property owners with questions about sampling activity are encouraged to call EPA's Public Information Center in Omaha, 402-731-3045.
Children six years and younger, and pregnant women, are at greatest risk of suffering adverse health effects from exposure to toxic lead. Ingesting lead, typically by breathing dust or putting dirty fingers in mouths, can result in serious developmental delays or defects, behavior problems, seizures, nerve disorders and reproductive issues, among other effects.

World War I Draft Registrations for Northern Virginia
As U.S. military involvement in World War I, 1914-1918, edged towards reality, the Selective Service System was established to register men for a military draft. Between June 1917 and September 1918, 24 million men aged 18 to 45 registered on one of a series of three dates. Thus, we have a near universal record of men born between 1872 and 1900 and alive on their registration date. This index includes registrants for the City of Alexandria, Alexandria (now Arlington) County, and Fairfax County. Our source is microfilm from the National Archives and Records Administration RG163 M1509, roll numbers: VA3; VA4; and VA20.
The staff of the Alexandria Library, Special Collections is indebted to the staff of the Virginia Room, Fairfax County Public Library System for their gracious support for this project. Both our libraries own the microfilm indexed here and both libraries can provide prints of the registration cards to researchers.
The information collected about each registrant varied with the type of card used. We identified four different card types, or forms. The information collected that is common to all four card types is: name, age, address, date of birth, natural born, place of birth, occupation, employer, dependents, marital status, race, prior military, and exemption claim. Several of the card types also include: father's place of birth, nearest relations, and basic physical description.
It would seem that men were required to register in the jurisdiction they happened to be in on a registration date. For example, a railroad worker whose residence was in South Dakota was registered in Alexandria, and a shipbuilder whose home was in Norfolk, Virginia also registered in Alexandria. Likewise, a student at Cornell University in New York state registered at that location, but his card was sent to his home Selective Service Board in Alexandria.
A note to researchers who will use this index to obtain prints from the microfilm. Online, the names are sorted into alphabetical order. On the microfilm, the names are in rough alphabetical order (be flexible!) within each county and upon occasion, we found names completely out of order. To indicate the location on the film for these most wayward of cards, we identified the card immediately preceding, for example, a name might appear as "Doe (after Smith, H), John."
Prints of the registration cards are available.
There are 11,075 names included. These are very large files and will take a few moments to load.
Begin by searching for a surname starting with:

Hoops Spring Break Schedule
Beilein has talked about how the Big Ten didn't do us any favors by scheduling our first games against OSU, IU, MSU, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin on the road (seriously...ALL of them??). But one thing I noticed looking over the schedule yesterday was that our two biggest home games of the season are going to occur during Spring Break, which is officially Saturday, March 2nd - Monday, March 11th. We play vs. MSU on the first weekend and vs. IU during the second weekend, with @ Purdue during the week.
When I was in the Maize Rage the break tickets weren't included in the ticket package. IIRC, the home game vs. MSU was during Spring Break twice and the crowd was a combination of the "Blue Rage" and those students who bought the game a la carte. I personally believe that Home Court advantage means more in NCAA hoops than any other sport, and the students are the biggest reason for that.
Any current Maize Rage members -- do you have tickets to those games? Are you planning on attending? If not, can I buy your ticket for cheap? (jk, sort of)
I realize we have to play some games over break, but can't the Big Ten make an effort to schedule a game against a rival when the students will be on campus...geez.

I am retaining heifers now to start a more viable commercial "beef" herd since the market is down and you cant give away something with LH influence now. Anyway, all of these heifers are black or creme colored, polled, and have DECENT muscle. I need to know what the best breed of bull would be to maximize the black hide and muscle on the terminal calves? I am thinking limousin if i can find one. Would it be detrimental to breed back to another angus?

Cheyenne Griffin got her birthday cake — at least the first one — on the night before the opening game of the Atlantic Sun Conference softball tournament. She added the icing later.
Cheyenne Griffin got her birthday cake — at least the first one — on the night before the opening game of the Atlantic Sun Conference softball tournament.
She added the icing later.
Griffin, a Byrnes High School product, was named MVP after USC Upstate swept a doubleheader Saturday in Nashville, Tenn., against host team Lipscomb, 4-1 and 7-5, to win the event and earn and automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. The Spartans on Sunday (10 p.m., ESPNU) will find out when and where they will be playing.
USC Upstate softball, which was ranked in the Top 25 earlier this season, became the first team from the school to qualify for an NCAA postseason tournament. Cross country standout Gilbert Kemboi made it to a national event last fall.
"It's something I can put on my bucket list as having accomplished," USC Upstate head coach Chris Hawkins said. "And I could not have accomplished it with a better group of girls."
Griffin, a sophomore first baseman who had hit four home runs all season, had three in the tournament. She hit two Friday, her 20th birthday, in a pair of games that put USC Upstate (41-10) in the championship.
"I knew we weren't coming here to lose. So, yeah, this is what I planned to be doing on my birthday weekend," Griffin said. "… As soon as we got here, we went to a restaurant and they brought out a cake. From then on, it was like my birthday for about four days."
Hawkins said the team celebrated Griffin so much that he wasn't sure which day was her actual birthday.
"I ate so much cake," he said, "that I didn't even realize it was her birthday when it came around."
Griffin was joined on the all-tournament team by Shellie Robinson, Meredith Barnes and pitcher Jamie Ujvari, who was on the mound when the Spartans clinched the monumental victory on a fly ball to Robinson in center.
Hawkins said he did not have his eyes on the field as Lipscomb's best hitter took a mighty swing in the seventh inning with two players on base. Lipscomb, which knocked USC Upstate into the losers' bracket, is the only team in the league with a winning record against the Spartans.
"I was looking into our dugout. I just couldn't look anywhere else," Hawkins said. "Lipscomb always finds a way to win and I was thinking, 'Oh, my gosh, it's going to happen again.' … (The Lipscomb batter) probably missed the pitch by a quarter of an inch but popped it up."
Robinson gloved it to touch off a celebration, not exactly a birthday celebration, but certainly one that benefitted the birthday girl.
"It was awesome," Griffin said. "As soon as I saw the ball fall in Shellie's glove, I just threw my glove up and ran to Jamie. I hugged her and we pretty much fell into a dogpile. It was a moment that I'll never forget."
