When Orange County Supervisors debated earlier this year whether to allow the county's Health Care Agency to apply for $40,000 in grants funded through the federal health reform law, board Chairman John Moorlach was clear about why the measure suffered a 3-2 defeat.
"I'm taking the posture that if it's anything to do with – I'll use the term Obamacare – I'm going to be a 'no,'" Moorlach said.
Yet for more than a year, Orange County, with support from the supervisors, has been implementing an $82 million-a-year program that's at the heart of President Obama's Affordable Care Act.
The effort, dubbed "The Bridge to Reform" by its state overseers, is part of a sweeping Medicaid expansion unfolding in California in preparation for reform's full implementation in 2014. Orange County has 47,000 patients receiving care so far, and has been running neck-and-neck with Alameda County for the second-highest number of participants, state health department records show.
In essence, the county's program forms the building blocks of health reform's core mission – a vast expansion of health care coverage across the country. Unless the Supreme Court invalidates the law – a decision expected within days – upwards of 30 million Americans are projected to gain health coverage when the Affordable Care Act is in full swing.
The new participants in Orange County's program have income well beyond the traditional ceilings for Medicaid, which is called Medi-Cal in California. A family of four can have annual income up to $46,100 and still have their health covered nearly free of charge, for example.
Moorlach said he was unaware he was supporting a program that would pave the wave for health reform when he joined a 5-0 vote for the program in February 2011.
It was presented to him under its technical name – the Section 1115 waiver – he said. In the end, Moorlach concluded the program was "critical to our health agency and CalOptima" – Orange County's agency that administers Medi-Cal and other public health programs.
Now, as Moorlach reconsiders his position, Orange County is moving ahead as one of the nation's leading jurisdictions in implementing the Bridge to Reform.
And, health officials say, the effort is showing significant promise by offering patients a robust health plan similar to an HMO and access to a primary care facility within five miles of their homes.
"In a very short period of time we were able to establish a very effective program with an extensive provider network," Mark Refowitz, director of the Orange County Health Care Agency, said in an email.
A program summary provided by the county health agency supports his claim. The agency says participants are receiving better care while simultaneously cutting costs – including a 50 percent reduction in expensive emergency room visits, and all hospital visits in general.
The number of patients regularly visiting a primary care doctor has more than doubled, according to the agency. Bridge to Reform patients are on average being referred from primary care to a specialist within two days, the agency said.
Debbie Binning, a nurse practitioner who treats Bridge to Reform patients at an AltaMed clinic in Huntington Beach, said the program reaches a population traditionally excluded from the safety net, but one that needs help in the economic downturn.
A large portion of her Bridge to Reform patients "are white, middle class and unemployed," she said.
In addition to significantly raising income ceilings, the new program throws out other disqualifying factors, such as owning a home or a car. In another major shift, childless adults are now eligible.
Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for the program in Orange County or anywhere else.
Two federal grants that the Board of Supervisors turned down over the past year were a relatively innocuous slice of President Obama's massive health reform law: $40,000 to explore workplace wellness models and up to $10 million over five years to promote healthy lifestyle choices.
The Bridge to Reform dwarfs that, with $30 million in federal funds already reserved for Orange County and more than twice that much in the pipeline. Nationally, $8 billion has been set aside, with versions of the program proceeding in six additional states as well as Washington D.C., according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
California is by far the most deeply invested in the bridge program, accounting for 251,308 of the 600,000 adults in such programs nationwide, according to Kaiser.
Orange County estimates that it will have about 60,000 patients ready for the health reform coverage expansion within three years, according to figures submitted to the state.
California health officials project that ultimately, as many as 1.9 million patients will qualify for the expansion statewide. National estimates run as high as 17 million.
They include Jack Jordan, 64, a Bridge to Reform patient who six years ago lost his job in toxic materials remediation and has not been able to find full-time employment with health insurance since.
Jordan, of Seal Beach, drives a commuter van part time for a local substance abuse recovery center. He would have been summarily disqualified under the previous version of Medi-Cal on two grounds: He has no children, and earns too much money with his part-time job.
Under the old version of Medi-Cal, an adult with one child could be disqualified from full coverage with an income as low as $13,200 a year.
"The old system would have discouraged me from any type of self-sufficiency," said Jordan, who suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure.
"No one actually comes out and says it," Jordan added about his efforts to find a job with health benefits. "But I'm just a higher health risk than younger people, so I don't meet the employers' profile."
Thousands of enrollees were gained in one fell swoop when Orange County simply transferred some of its existing Medi-Cal applicants to the Bridge to Reform.
But the program typically finds its patients the way it did Jordan, when an uninsured person seeks care at one of hundreds of local providers: UC Irvine Family Health Center, AltaMed and Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center, to name a few.
Staff at the medical facilities help the patient submit forms, including verification of income and other qualifications. Then the application, which includes an Experian income check, is sent to the County Social Services Agency for a determination.
It typically takes the maximum 30 days allowed by law for each application to be rejected or approved by the county.
As the numbers of patients grow, providing them treatment will require a larger local health apparatus, Refowitz said.
"Our challenges are no different than any other health plan's: Finding high-demand specialties such as neurology, rheumatology, and endocrinology; controlling pharmacy costs; and continuing to reduce in-patient visits," he said.
The federal government bears the costs of the Bridge to Reform program under a formula tied to counties' existing health-care budgets. The federal contribution is to double in 2014, when many more residents will be covered.
In support of health reform, California health officials decided quickly after its passage to establish the Bridge to Reform program. With a public health system that has seen decades of cuts, they found the federal reimbursement dollars offered by the program impossible to resist.
Connecticut, Colorado, Washington, D.C., Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, and Washington state have done the same. They are all receiving funds for the program until 2014, a timeline designed to overlap with health reform's full implementation.
State Department of Health Care Services spokesman Norman Williams said even if the Supreme Court decides against the law, just building the bridge has been of value to the state's health care apparatus.
"Health care delivery infrastructure at the local level is being improved as a result," he said.
But he offered no promises to the quarter-million adults enrolled in California if the U.S. Supreme Court renders the Bridge to Reform a bridge to nowhere.
The state department of health care services "does not anticipate seeking other funding," Williams said.
With the national and state stages set, a vote this week by the Orange County Board of Supervisors indicated that local political attitudes continue to angle in favor of the program.
At the county's annual budget hearing on Tuesday, Supervisor Bill Campbell proposed allocating an additional $2 million to the county's Medical Services Initiative, or MSI program. MSI is partially funded by the Bridge to Reform – so the $2 million would be increased to $3 million under the program's federal match.
Moorlach opposed the move, pointing out that a connection to Obama's Affordable Care Act "later came to light" after the supervisors approved the county's participation in Bridge to Reform last year. Armed with this new knowledge, Moorlach proposed cutting the MSI increase to zero.
Campbell's motion to allocate the money – triggering "Bridge to Reform" matching funds – was approved by a 3-2 vote.

Keely baked this cake for me. It's rather nice to have someone bring me a homemade birthday cake. :)
It's been a weekend of heavy celebration. what with the birthday and the 45th anniversary dinner at church. When I say "heavy", I mean that I'm afraid to weigh myself. I'd better stay on the exercise bike an extra mile every day all week.

Behold The Mighty Iron
Very bitty day today. Started with a pile of dirty laundry to feed into the washing machine and a small pile of clean laundry to press. As I knew we would be out and about today I started blipping early. I tried a few shots of the iron, the laundry and just before I actually started to iron I noticed that with the flash firing the background goes nice and dark and by fluke a wall light behind the iron gives it a halo like glow. A bit of photo manipulation and it could be a deity in a cheap fantasy film...
After the ironing, we took one of the bikes to get it's chain repaired, then on the same trip we went to local authority waste and recycling facility to get rid of a load of stuff, and finally on the way home via the supermarket to refill with stuff.
We've just had a late lunch and now the evening shift begins!

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. To raise awareness about prostate cancer, hospitals in Washington, D.C. are stepping-up this September for a good cause indeed. Did you know that an estimated 240,890 new cases of prostate cancer will be reported this year? About 33,720 men will die this year alone from prostate cancer. About 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime.
Although prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men, the good news is that the survival rate is quite high for patients who are diagnosed and treated early. If you are a man, a key to your survival is to be familiar with the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer and to seek regular screening.
This year, Georgetown University Hospital will recognize Prostate Cancer Awareness Month by offering men free prostate cancer screening.
Who should get screened?
- Men over the age of 35 – particularly African-American or Hispanic men over the age of 35
- Men with a family history of prostate cancer
If you meet the above criteria, don't miss out on this opportunity. Free screening will be offered on Saturday, September 17, 2011 from 8:00a.m. to 12:00p.m. in the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. Free parking will be available in the Leavey Center garage. The Georgetown University Hospital is located at 3800 Reservoir Rd. NW, Washington, D.C., 20007. "The screening will consist of blood testing to determine PSA (prostate specific antigen) level, total cholesterol, and a digital rectal exam (DRE) to be performed by physicians."
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you might want to contact the Providence Hospital prostate cancer support group. This group is specifically dedicated to helping patients live and cope with prostate cancer. Brothers Prostate Cancer Support Group meets every 4th Tuesday between 6:30p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at Providence Hospital's Wellness Institute (1150 Varnum St. NE, 3rd Floor, Washington, D.C 20017). For more information, please call 202-269-7795.

With spirituality, we designate our relationship with the spiritual world, i.e. with the non incarnated world. The term spirituality has to be understood in a very broad way, it comprises our relation to invisible beings, like for example God, angels, spiritual guides, non incarnated souls and other non incarnated beings. Spirituality also comprises questions about the meaning of life and about our personal attitude towards life as a whole and all its related goals and cycles.
Before we continue, let's have a look at the definition of spirituality according to Wikipedia :
«Spirituality, in a narrow sense, concerns itself with matters of the spirit. The spiritual, involving (as it may) perceived eternal verities regarding humankind's ultimate nature, often contrasts with the temporal, with the material, or with the worldly. A sense of connection forms a central defining characteristic of spirituality - connection to something greater than oneself, which includes an emotional experience of religious awe and reverence. Equally importantly, spirituality relates to matters of sanity and of psychological health. Like some forms of religion, spirituality often focuses on personal experience.
Spirituality may involve perceiving life as higher, more complex or more integrated with one's world view; as contrasted with the merely sensual. ...»
According to the definition of spirituality further above, this term comprises not only religiosity of human beings but also very fundamental questions about the meaning of life in a larger context. For obvious reasons these questions have always concerned humankind and philosophy. Everybody gets confronted with these questions, at the latest on the occasion of births and deaths.
Some people strictly refuse to acknowledge the existence of spiritual beings (non incarnated beings). Often, the same people dismiss anything, which has not been stringently proven according to scientific rules. They only accept a rational founded world - irrational things or concepts (e.g. the spirituality) are being suppressed and denied. By the way, these persons should also for the very same reasons deny the existence of such everyday happenings like affection, antipathy, love, hate, fear and so on.
On the other hand, there are many people, who are trying to explain every little event in life with irrational, mystical explanations. Everything has been planned a long time in advance with the help of stars, karmas or whatever. Often, such persons have at least at times lost their touch to the ground and live in a different world. Their theory that everything is predetermined is not compatible with our free will: I can decide on my own whether I will watch a film at the cinema or whether I stay at home. The "stars" - or whatever higher influence they are talking about - won't push me to the cinema nor will they hold me back at home.
A meaningful dealing with spirituality is of course somewhere in between these two extreme positions. It does not make sense to deny or discredit spirituality. Neither does it make sense to suppress our material (incarnated) world and to devote oneself exclusively to a spiritual world (see also further below).
Spiritual information should serve to understand our life and our life's tasks better and thereby to achieve our purpose of life more easily. A contact to the spiritual world can be in particularly helpful to sense and confirm one's goals and tasks of life. In addition, this spiritual contact can be a tremendously important guide and assistance in our daily life.
We should realize again that the purpose of our incarnation is to live in the material world, to gain some experiences and to develop some of our qualities further (personal growth ). These experiences are to be made in the material world, therefore it does not make sense and it is even counterproductive to suppress the material world, like already mentioned further above. Our qualities, which are to be developed further, are difficult or even impossible to comprehend with our rational intellect. In most cases these qualities are unconditional love, joy, self-honesty, modesty and humility. This learning process is often called spiritual growth or developing awareness (developing higher consciousness). For this learning process of concepts, which are difficult to grasp by our rational intellect, we can get very important help and assistance from the spiritual world. Therefore it does absolutely make sense to integrate the spiritual world - in other words spirituality - in our daily life.
From the above, it can easily be concluded that spirituality should always be integrated in our daily life, in everything we do or do not do. "Always" is to be understood as in all our decisions and deeds both in business and private life. This is in contradiction to applying or living spirituality like a leisure activity only on evenings, or for two hours on Sundays or for two weeks per year in a seminar. To integrate spirituality in the daily life is somehow similar to wearing clothing: You most likely wear clothes and make sure you are adequately dressed all day round and not just on some rare occasions. You don't walk around naked. Likewise you should try to be connected with the spiritual world all day as well in business as in private life. Of course you cannot achieve this from one day to the other - a lot of training is needed.
We have already discussed in a different text that all beings on earth should respect certain cosmic laws. We have called the most important of these cosmic laws «the basic rights of existence». It states: «The basis of all life on our planet is the equal right of all beings to live here, to develop here and to carry out their tasks here». We automatically train our above mentioned qualities of unconditional love, joy, self-honesty, modesty and humility when we follow this cosmic law. In other words: The meaning of life is training the above mentioned qualities (or spiritual growth).
There are a high number of publications and web pages about spiritual topics and there are an equally high number of publications containing information from spiritual beings, which have been received through channelling. The quality, truthfulness and reliability of such information must be assessed case by case. An universal judgement is not possible.
It can be very fascinating to hear or read about the work, purpose and tasks of non incarnated beings. However for most of us, such information is useful at best for entertainment. If we, respectively our soul, wanted to learn about the interrelations in the spiritual (non incarnated) world, why then should we incarnate at all? Our soul could have stayed in the spiritual world. The interrelations of the spiritual world are certainly easier to grasp while you indeed are in the spiritual world. If you currently were in the rain forest with the goal to understand the system of the rain forest better, would you then for this purpose drive to the desert?
It is little help to our daily life if we know whether we are being supported by three or by five angels. However, it is extremely important to know that we are indeed supported in our daily life by angels and other spiritual beings and that we can ask these beings for help.
How do you feel and understand the above mentioned support from the spiritual world? And how can you make sure that this support is real and not just imaginary?
We all have a sensor in us for this purpose. This sensor can and should be trained, however. Since it is not easy - or even impossible - to understand with our rational intellect, we have given this sensor many different and quite vague names, like intuition, gut feeling, heart, inner sense, sixth sense, instinct, etc. As a general rule, this sensor is available to everyone. Children's sensor is usually much more developed than the ones of adults, however. This is one of the reasons why children can be very important for the personal development of their parents, see here .
Once a certain level of personal consciousness is reached, further development is hardly possible without a good contact to the spiritual world. Dismissing spirituality therefore can have severe consequences for the respective person and soul. Re-establishing a good contact to the spiritual world is part of our personal growth. For that reason we ought to train this ability ourselves, we should not try to outsource or buy this ability, it won't work. It is not sufficient to read books and web pages about it - we finally have to acquire this ability ourselves. We will have to train this again and again.
The development and training of our personal sensor to communicate with the spiritual world has further important advantages:
Based on the reasoning outlined above, it is of very high concern for us as publishers of timeforchange.org to put spirituality back on the right place in our daily life. We would like to help re-establishing a meaningful integration of spiritual concepts not as interesting leisure activity but as integral part of everything we do or do not do. What matters in the end, is to be able to live a meaningful life, which allows the soul to develop qualities as planned for the respective incarnation.
Therefore you will on timeforchange.org find some relatively simple and down-to-earth explanations for the general comprehension what life is about and for personal growth as the meaning of life. Additional texts are regularly being added.
A good starting point is the book «ABC of awareness - personal development as the meaning of life». You can read it online or download as pdf (it's free!). But be warned: To read the book, you really need to spend some time. You should be prepared to make some thoughts about personal growth and meaning of our being here.
You may want to register for our free web seminar «Spiritual growth for a higher consciousness».
You may want to read some of our comments to current issues, where we try to assess and discuss current problems of our society with our own higher consciousness.
The texts published may eventually lead to some sort of «step by step guide to better life management» and guide to spirituality. Information, overview and links see our home page.

Best anti-chafing solution?
I like a 50/50 mix of lanolin and vaseline.
Totally off topic, what the best anti chafing solution???
...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
It's no coincidence. I got the formula from @david_barra, who has since, apparently, added a third ingredient. In theory, the 110% anti-chafing solution will leave you less chafed than when you started.
I hear wearing a wetsuit helps.
@bobswims I've seen pics of skin abraded through into sub-cutananeous flesh from a wetsuit on an Arch to Arc EC swim.
Channel grease for me also, 50/50 petroleum jelly/anhydrous lanolin mix. 100% lanolin is fine for long swims, Vaseline works for me up to about 3 or 4 hours, emulsifying cream apparently is also quite good.
@ loneswimmer [SARC INT] : I was hoping for a more rabid response from my friends on this forum, particularly if that person told a story that Ederle squeezed out fat from baby dolphins to use as grease on her channel swim because she was allergic to salt water.
ssthomas DenverCharter Member100% lanolin for me! I use most of a tube for a marathon swim, just were my straps rub and in my arm pits.
I like Bag Balm. It's lasted up to 8 hours for me and also kept me unchaffed where properly applied through an 8+ mile swim in the Great Salt Lake. As an added bonus I can get it at the farm supply store at the same time as my beard shampoo :)
@AquaRob So your beard shampoo is actually ... cow shampoo?
@bobswims if only we could find a good legal supplier of baby dolphin grease these days, I would recommend it, but it's getting difficult to get it past Customs.
Co-incidentally, I followed an incoming referrer link off my blog today to this comment thread. Make sure to read down to the last one (cryptologic-technician) for the laugh.
@loneswimmer not quite... it's horse shampoo
after reading that runner forum I may have to rethink my lanolin usage... didn't realize sharks had such strong cravings for sheep... maybe swap it out with bacon fat?
Here are your shoulders... here are your shoulders on saltwater... (h/t TBMS race director @RonCollins)
jcmalick Wilmington, DEMemberScrew it...you look more like a warrior if you go Ron's route! I prefer vaseline or A&D (not 100% confident in using lanolin with the sheer proportion of sheep fat...at least vaseline contains only a small portion of beef tallow and A&D cod liver oil) Anything to not help draw in marine inhabitants/predators especially without a shark shield, is my main priority!
Has anyone ever tried silicone stopcock grease? It's the stuff you use in chemistry labs to lubricate glass parts that fit together. When I was in college, I was a chemistry major and used to "borrow" some and use it on my feet when I did long running workouts. It was vastly better (and more expensive) than vaseline. Maybe I'll try to find some and report back.

This is a complete beginner question. I'm doing my first 5km in the ocean next week. I've done the distance in freshwater before but not in salt. How do I know if I need anti-chafing solution or where to put it? Do you just slap it on immediately before the swim? If so, where?
IMHO Unless you have some serious stubble (and a stroke that makes frequent contact with said abrasive) you should be OK for a 5k. If you do experience any rub, it should be minor, and you will know where to lube next time.Kellie said:

...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
I'm still in the process of choosing to go wetsuit or non for a 10 mile swim in July. Last yrs 8 mile swim I wore a sleveless suit from my ironman races and paid dearly with the Chaffee around neck and armpits. Even with bodyglide on. So one the fence with this decision. Buoyancy will be nice but the chafe made the time in water miserable. Thoughts?
no wetsuit... problem solvedChlake1 said:
...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Do you foresee this being a huge difference in time or fatigue. Chaffee would certainly be less with out, yes.?
Its about the journey... not getting to the end as fast as possible by any means.
...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
That's funny. Especially your response to LS. BTW, I've still got the marks from my stupid sleeveless wetsuit that the Brits forced me to wear for my first 10K (Dart 10K). Oh, and I swam that on September 3, 2011. http://mtheads.typepad.com/10kmarathonswim/2012/02/why-i-hate-wetsuits.htmlbobswims said:

I'll never wear a wetsuit again.
How about baby nerpa seal oil? My wife might be able to get some for you from Lake Baikal. With a little взятки/vzyatki, the Russians would look the other way. http://mtheads.typepad.com/10kmarathonswim/2012/03/enough-of-this-paddling-around-in-warm-waters-followed-by-a-mai-tai-and-a-massage-lets-talk-about-a-real-challenge-thats-ri.htmlloneswimmer said:

@Kellie, I thought the same thing for my first 5K in salt water (Cyprus, 2010). Holy crap was I wrong. I should have put something on. My underarms were red and raw for days after. I won't make that mistake again.Kellie said:

Swimming in a wetsuit is easier and faster than swimming without one. Generally speaking, marathon swimmers do not find this an especially compelling reason to wear one (aside from the fact they are not allowed in most swims).Chlake1 said:

If we wanted it to be easy, we wouldn't have chosen marathon swimming as a hobby in the first place.
@Kellie, I chafe after 20 minutes, I'm particularly sensitive, like the princess and the pea. I can't imagine doing a 5k like @david_barra says without protection. Underarms and back of neck for me for a 5k.
WaterGirl Scottsdale, AZCharter MemberI'm a delicate flower like @loneswimmer. I've had bleeding chafe marks from a 1K in saltwater.
I chafe on the front and sides of my neck (from breathing), my upper arms where they sometimes brush against my swimsuit, and maybe near the straps on my swimsuit. (The right swimsuit shouldn't chafe, but it can if the straps are wearing out.)
I would just slather the lube all over the possible hotspots: your neck, around your straps, under your arms, and on your inner forearms. Better safe than sorry.
Has anyone used baby oil? No, @loneswimmer, I didn't say baby dolphin oil. But seriously, baby oil.
After my 5K swim in Cyprus, when my armpits were burning, I bought some baby oil from one of the local shops. I swam the two days after the 5K (didn't want to pass up on swimming in the Med every day) and slathered the baby oil on my pits and it felt wonderful. No pain from the rash.
But I've never tried it before a swim. Anyone?
Totally agree with @WaterGirl - better to lube on your first time out than have to fuss with the irritation and distraction of chafing.
If you use anti-fog solution on your goggles, treat them first, before you get your hands greasy with lube. Carry a rag in your kit for degreasing your hands - paper towel actually works best but is hard to keep dry in a swim environment.
I never thought I'd be involved in a sport that require lube but based on the above I'll have to give it a whirl on Wednesday. Will report back when done. Thanks for the help!
So I can report that there was no damage to my skin after the 5km ocean swim today. On the other hand, I think I swallowed half an ocean of salt water and my throat is pretty sore and I got so cold it took hours to warm up afterwards (you'll all probably laugh when I tell you it was 20C, which I think I once read loneswimmer describe as mythical, but it's all relative right?). Anyway, thanks for the advice.
@david_barra I'm kind of curious at the addition of the Zinc Oxide. If you are doing it for additional sun protection it would seem that you would need to apply the mix all over for it to be useful? Or are there other advantages?
I sometimes apply sunscreen all over... sometimes only on my face, back of knees, neck.
Depends on the season, forecast, etc.
Zinc oxide in the mix protects my pits whether I go with sunscreen or not
...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Thanks for the clarification.

My longest salt water swim so far has been 4 1/2 hours and Vaseline worked fine on that to prevent chafing. However since my next swim is going to be in the 8 hour range I figure I should switch up, and making sure I understand the options around the Vaseline/Lanolin mix.
I think I've seen this photo before..it cracks me up. it's without doubt the most outstanding lube job I've ever seen :) I think even a lamprey would slip off if it tried to latch on!! Imagine tripping over and falling in the sand... :)gregoc said:
@dc_in_sf you have to take into consideration David's complexion. For those of us fair skinned OW swimmers, we need to apply the zinc oxide (Desitin maximum 40%) liberally, like Ray Gandy. It is great for chafing and sun protection and it stays on forever.
Zinc is the best though. I wore it for the Key West swim and still ruined six hotel towels afterwards because there was so much still stuck to me.
For those in the U.S.: To remove Desitin or ANY sunscreen go to a Dollar Tree store and get a shaving gel called "Shave Gel For Men" (catchy name) - it's in a blue tube. With that and a loofah sponge, you can get it off easily. Also, it's only $1.00.
It's also very good for shaving with as well. I have the horrible combination of tender skin and a beard you could use to clean a barbecue grill and this is the only thing that doesn't make it look like I tried to commit suicide by slitting my throat.
"Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess." - Oscar Wilde
Simple baby oil (mineral oil) works well too.
I mixed up my first batch of "channel grease" last night, a somewhat messy affair.
I am thinking just going with @AquaRob 's Bag Balm might an easier and cheaper affair in the future. It is basically just channel grease + mild antiseptic agent (though the actual proportion of lanolin to petroleum jelly is unknown) and it is readily available at Walgreens (unlike anhydrous lanolin).
Though if SolRx doesn't hold out on the Rottnest Channel swim I might switch to the Desatin coating concept :-)
I got the same stuff from a different vendor on Amazon, glad to know I picked the right gunk :-)evmo said:

Oh, wait! You mean before the swim. Ok. Got it.
Sharko Tomales BayGuestI have used a product called Aquaphor which has 41% Petrolatum or vasoline, Mineral oil, Lanoline and Glycerin....seemed to work well with chaffing and stayed on pretty well...3.5 oz jar is about $6.

ForeverSwim Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaCharter Member@dc_in_sf - Make sure you test out the Bag Balm before you use it for Rottnest. I know swimmers who use it, however I had a bad experience with it during the Molokai Channel. Re-applying grease several times mid-swim = no more Bag Balm for me! Not sure if salinity/water temp in Hawaiian waters did something to the product, but it did not provide chafing protection very well. Just a thought...
www.darren-miller.com Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania U.S.A.
KarenT Charter MemberAn unexpected hazard of buying this stuff off Amazon - I bought some lanolin online that was actually sold as a babycare product, and am still receiving the occasional ads from them for baby stuff. The system seems to assume that I looked up the products when I had a small baby, and that must therefore be about three - so they send ads for age-appropriate products. Very annoying. But the good news is that my imaginary child will be going to school in the next year or so, which we're all very excited about.
Congratulations! I hope you booked he/she into a good school at an early age.
@karenT, the sprog can have all of us as godparents. Big Christmas present haul.
Thanks for the heads up. Not going to get a chance to road test bag balm so will use the home brew channel grease I made tomorrow, and put the bag balm on the boat as backup (I'm assuming I don't need more than the 13 ounces of channel grease I have)ForeverSwim said:

There was a discussion on FB recently about channel grease, so I thought I'd bump this.
Any new & creative mixtures out there?
Some of the Dover folks were suggesting that petroleum jelly (vaseline) by itself is sufficient to protect from chaffing on a long swim. I personally have found the ad-mixture of a thicker substance such as lanolin helps maintain the chaffing resistance longer.

Chase Bank is now responsible for a lot worse than poor customer service and unethical business practices that cost their customers millions of dollars each year. Now they've really crossed the line.
Now we can add the financing of terrorist organizations to that list. People, businesses, organizations and nations who make it their business to murder United States citizens have had a lot of help from Chase Bank, despite sanctions imposed by the US Government making it illegal.
The United States Treasury Department agreed to settle with Chase Bank for $88 million for their willful violations of US sanctions against countries that are state sponsors of terrorism. Unfortunately, $88 million is nothing to Chase Bank – the fine wouldn't even qualify as a slap on the wrist for JPMorgan Chase.
The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has been investigating a number of willful violations committed by Chase Bank going back to 2005. The list of laws violated by Chase Bank include:
- Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators Sanctions Regulations
- Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations
- Iranian Transactions Regulations
- Cuban Assets Control Regulations
- Sudanese Sanctions Regulations
- Former Liberian Regime of Charles Taylor Sanctions Regulations
Reread that list and let that sink in.
Chase Bank admitted to helping facilitate transactions that violated US laws regarding terrorism and weapons of mass destruction proliferation. Worse – the US Treasury found that Chase Bank was willfully violating these rules for years and even after they were notified by 3rd parties of their violations they continued to help these terrorist organizations.
The question that needs to be asked, but our US media is conveniently avoiding is – How many Americans lost their lives due to the greed of Chase Bank? How many citizens of other countries died to make Jamie Dimon and the shareholders of Chase Bank wealthier?
Click here to read the entire settlement agreement between the US Treasury Department and JPMorgan Chase Bank.
Chase knowingly made a series of transactions with Cuba, Iran and Sudan which equaled roughly $181.4 million in violations:
- In 2005 and 2006, JPMorgan Chase willfully violated embargo laws by processing $178.5 million in wire transfers for Cuban nationals. A 3rd party financial institution notified Chase Bank of the violations but Chase didn't stop and failed to notify Treasury Department officials of their crimes.
- In 2009 Chase Bank processed a $2.9 million loan with, "a bank that had ties to Iran's government-owned shipping line," a violation of trade sanctions against The Islamic Republic of Iran. JPMorgan Chase was aware of this crime, but again failed to inform regulators as required by law. In fact – they waited until the loan was almost completely repaid before notifying Treasury officials. These ships have been known to carry weapons of mass destruction and other weapons for terrorists in the past. These weapons have led to the deaths of many Americans and others which is the reason these sanctions were put in place.
- In 2011, the United States Treasury Department asked for documents regarding a wire transfer that referred to Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. High ranking officials at JPMorgan Chase pretended to be unaware of what the Treasury Department was investigating, until The Treasury presented JPMorgan with a list of documents they believed were in the bank's possession. After denying it the first time, the bank coughed up the documents shortly after. Sudan was the home base for Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda for years and continues to export terrorism around the world with the financial help of JPMorgan Chase and others.
Officials from the US Treasury Department were asked to comment and said the following:
"OFAC determined that JPMC (JPMorgan) is a very large, commercially sophisticated financial institution, and that JPMC managers and supervisors acted with knowledge of the conduct constituting the apparent violations and recklessly failed to exercise a minimal degree of caution or care with respect to JPMC's US sanctions obligations."
US Treasury Department officials also said that a considerable portion of the transfers happened after JPMorgan Chase had been notified of the potential sanctions violation.They continued to help finance these terrorist organizations so that they could reap the profits and increase their share price.
Perhaps the hardest part to accept is that this is a textbook example of a violation that would land the average person or businessman in prison, and yet Chase Bank received a relatively tiny fine that they'll simply write off as a cost of doing business. The fine is less than they actually made on the deals they were busted for and we don't even know how many of these deals they got away with.
After getting caught stealing money from our military men and women and forcing some of them out of their homes illegally, now we find out that Chase Bank has been helping finance known terrorist organizations. This information has been woefully under-reported by our mainstream media here in the United States, so I'm asking everybody to send this link to everyone you know, Tweet it, put it on Facebook and do whatever else you can do to get the word out about what this bank is doing to this country and its citizens.

UC Davis Children's Hospital will open a new clinic this month to provide information and counseling to parents who are considering choosing not to immunize their children.
The Immunization Information Clinic will start Jan. 14 and will be open Tuesday mornings in the Glassrock Building, 2521 Stockton Blvd., Sacramento.
The clinic was created in response to the new state law, effective Jan. 1, 2014, which requires parents to get a medical practitioner's signature to enroll their children in school without immunizing them.
Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis, started the clinic to assist parents without a primary care provider or those with a health provider who refuses to sign the form.
"Parents are making an important decision for their loved ones, and we want to offer them resources and let them know about the risks and benefits," said Blumberg, who will be staffing the clinic along with pediatric nurse practitioner Lisa Ashley. "Having this dialogue with parents is valuable, even if the parent still opts to not immunize."
According to the California Department of Public Health, the number of kindergarten students in the state who are not vaccinated due to a personal belief exemption has increased annually over the past decade.
To make an appointment, contact 916-734-3112. Appointments must be scheduled in advance. The cost of a visit will be $25 per child, and health insurance will not be billed.

Maxwell Caulfield & Amelia Campbell embark on an emotional roller coaster ride in Tryst, now in an open run at the Promenade Theater.
A con at first sight
By Jerry Tallmer
She, Adelaide Pinchin, a lonely, self-effacing virgin of a certain age who slaves away in the back room of a shop just off Londons Edgeware Road, making hats for fine ladies, is convinced shes too fat to be seen (she isnt) and has never stopped dreaming that some day the right man will come along.
He, George Love, or so he calls himself, is a smooth rapscallion who lives off his wits, that is to say off lonely women exactly like Adelaide Pinchin whom he can romance, flatter, and walk away from run away from with their pitiable life savings and any hockable jewelry.
Its a surgical operation when I do it, George says. This is the way it goes: I see one, size it up. I move in, always watching my back, leaving nothing to chance. Charm it up, act smitten, bowled over. After a few romantic meetings you look in its eyes and ask if to marry you before any one can stop it
And I do give them a good time. I always go through the formality of the wedding night. None of this get it in, get it out, and go away. I spend the night with them and make love to them with tenderness and consideration. And I leave them smiling. I take pride in it. I like to think of it as quid pro quo, if you know what I mean.
It is November 15, 1910. A cold bloody morning. No money. No breakfast. Down to my last hapenny. And then George Love looks in through a shop window and sees Amelia Pinchin putting a hat on display. He smiles at her, she smiles back.
Thats how Tryst begins a play by Britains Karoline Leach, well-known for her writings on Lewis Carroll and well before youre 20 minutes or so into it, you will long for these two people especially George, for all his crookedness to really, deeply fall in love.
Actress Amelia Campbell longed for it, was aching for it, the first time she read Tryst, and she plays Adelaide to Maxwell Caulfield as George in the production directed by Joe Brancato thats at Off-Broadways Promenade Theatre on an open-ended run.
Plays Adelaide so beautifully, wistfully, appealingly with some little odd nutshell in her voice that this playgoer was thrust back in recall of no one so much as the Julie Harris who once gave us a never-to-be-forgotten Frankie Adams of The Member of the Wedding. And then looked in the program and saw that Amelia Campbell had in fact once played Frankie Adams in The Member of the Wedding.
Thank you, Ms. Campbell said when apprised of the recall. Thats lovely. I saw Julie Harris when she did her Emily Dickinson show, and she actually came to see this show. Shes a friend of my mother-in-law. She came back, was very complimentary, and said: I love her, meaning Adelaide.
Amelia Campbells mother-in-law is actress-author-playwright Barbara Dana, which is to say that Amelia Campbells husband is actor/director Anthony Arkin, third and youngest son of Barbara Dana and Alan Arkin.
I know, I know, Amelia Campbell said of her own aching hope, all through her first reading of Tryst, that George Love, who steals Adelaides bank book and treasured locket but then comes back with the goods, in spite of himself, because well, could it be love? A consummation (in several senses) devoutly to be wished as Tryst wends its way toward a stunning, jolting climax.
What a great play for both of the actors, Ms. Campbell said. I didnt realize how funny it was until the audience started to laugh. Maxwell Caulfields George brings out a lot of those laughs.
The man in this play is psychologically damaged, the actress said. One of the reasons it works is because they both are. Hes a con man who finds little mousey women and takes advantage of them. Gives them one night of pleasure because he really believes in that.
How do you, Ms. Campbell, relate to little mousey women?
Me? Oh, me? How do I feel about being mousey? Thinks, thinks, thinks. Finally: Ive shared similar issues, lets put it that way. Thinks, thinks. What a wonderful role. Unusually complex and challenging.
She had to read up on her English history to keep up with some of the references. For instance, when boasting about his colorful past, George throws in that he was with General Gordon in Calcutta.
Khartoum, Adelaide interjects.
General Gordon was at Khartoum.
Yes, but he was in Calcutta first. I was attached to his general staff in a civilian capacity.
General Charles Gordon, British hero killed in the siege of Khartoum, 1884, was never in Calcutta, and Adelaide knows it. For her, it is the first tiny tip-off, a sudden little warning flag, that things arent altogether what they seem to be. At a later point Geoges gaffe will, you may be sure, zoom back in again.
Amelia Campbell, of Scottish/Irish heritage, daughter of Katherine (Kitty) Beer, writer and environmentalist, and of Gary Campbell, writer and English teacher, now deceased, was born in Montreal and grew up in Ithaca, New York.
Her Frankie Adams in The Member of the Wedding was in 1989 for the Roundabout company when it was down on 17th Street, off Union Square. The director was Harold Scott. I wish Id seen it.
TRYST. By Karoline Leach. Directed by Joe Bancato. At the Promenade Theatre, Broadway at 76th Street, (212) 239-6200.

Island residents, visitors and guests flocked to the Sanibel Community House grounds for three days last weekend to take in the sights, sounds and artistic renderings of the 76th Sanibel Shell Festival.
"Attendance was up this year, though it is hard to count since we charge no admission outside," said event chairman for the Sanibel Community Association Tyler Schoenherr. "The inside show was up a bit as well."
The festival was good for the Community Association, too. It's one of the top fundraising events of the year.

"From the aspect of fundraising, we made a little over $68,000 this year, which is more than last year," said Schoenherr. "We are very much pleased. It was a great success."
The Shell Festival has garnered a world wide reputation during its 76 years.
"We had three artists from Japan this year," said Schoenherr. "Something new and different. Yasutaka Fukuda volunteered to set up a demonstration booth outside where anyone could go and make something for free. And he gave it away. He's a wonderful gentleman. One of the other artists, who displayed their work inside the Community House, said she will bring 12 of her students to the festival next year. She is one of the few in Japan teaching shell art. It's a new medium for them."
The event started by Hallie "Granny" Matthews in the lobby of her hotel had been known as the Sanibel Shell Fair and Shell Show throughout its history until the name was changed this year.
The Sanibel Captiva Shell Crafters toil all year to produce the world-class, prize-winning shell items that were displayed for casual collectors, admirers and die-hard connoisseurs.

What is the "meaning of life?" So many of us spend most of our lives searching for the answer to this age-old question. Well, what if you have had the answers all along and all you ever needed were the tools to access them?
In this groundbreaking film, Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought, you will embark on a remarkable journey, mastering the tools of life as you uncover the most important discovery you will ever make—the knowledge of you.
Learn and immediately apply the fundamental processes and principles that define the primary architecture of how life works. Achieve a complete understanding of the mind, spirit and life. Recognize what motivates your actions and the actions of others, and unblock the barriers of the extraordinary potential you have locked inside.
Life is a game—and quite simply, herein are the rules. You can be happier, more capable and play a better game, harnessing all life has to offer.
Scientology—Behold the life force that is you.
Life is composed of seven-tenths work, one tenth familial, one-tenth political and one-tenth relaxation. Here, then, is Scientology applied to that critical seven-tenths of existence.
Based on L. Ron Hubbard's book, The Problems of Work: Scientology Applied to the Workaday World, here is a visual presentation of the landmark discoveries contained in the book for immediate application.
The Problems of Work contains the senior principles and laws which apply to every endeavor, every problem of work. For they are the discoveries which lay bare the core of these problems and explain the very fabric of life itself.
Contained within this film is not only technology to bring stability to the workplace, but the magic processes to return joy itself to all of life. For this is Scientology.
Life's everyday difficulties and challenges can be overwhelming. Whether it's marriage and relationship issues, trouble raising a child, problems on the job or simply the desire to achieve your goals, where do you turn for help?
Scientology has answers. This film provides an exact technology with step-by-step procedures so anyone can apply it to handle life's difficulties and to create better conditions for yourself and those around you.
This film offers an introduction to basic Scientology principles from The Scientology Handbook—tools you can use to improve any aspects of life.
From improving relationships with others to achieving your goals, from learning the secret to mastering any subject to raising happy children. Here are tools to overcome any problems and achieve a more fulfilling and happier life. For no matter the situation, with Scientology, something can be done about it.
The painful experiences of our past clearly have an effect upon our present—but to what degree and why?
That is the subject of Dianetics.
This two-disc DVD is a companion to Dinetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the most widely read and broadly acclaimed book ever written on the subject of the human mind. Drawn directly from the pages of the book, these films reveal how negative experiences in your past cause your mind to depart from rational thought and behavior—without you even knowing it. What's more, these films teach you exactly how to use a precise Dianetics procedure of auditing to locate these past experiences and eliminate their negative effets.
Dianetics enables you to be your best: confident, rational, productive and creative. In other words, you can be yourself—free to enjoy life and reach your full potential. That is the goal of Dinetics.
In a chaotic world of plummeting moral standards the Way to Happiness: A Common Sense Guide to Better Living reaches out the millions of people across 130 nations with a message of integrity, morality and trust.
Now The Way to Happiness has been produced as a powerful feature-length film. And with that adaptation comes a cinematic experience unlike any you have ever seen. For here, running parallel with the full text narration of the book, you will find a series of interwoven stories, each featuring different individuals caught up in the drive and drama of living. You'll follow their losses, wrong turn, dilemmas, trauma and triumphs—until each person finally arrives onto the way to happiness.
Here is a film about life, finding one's way and the persistence of the human spirit.
And in the end, you experience a riveting visual presentation of The Way to Happiness's universal and timeless message—at once compelling and inspiring, a message you can now pass on to others ans so enhance their survival and future as well.

For Nikon DX shooters looking to expand their horizons beyond the kit lens, the 18-105mm DX ED VR f3.5-5.6 lens is an attractive and reasonably priced addition to your collection. Introduced in August 2008 as a kit lens option for the D90, you can find it for well under $400. Delivering a 27-158mm 35mm equivalent focal length in a compact and lightweight package, combined with Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) image-stabilization technology, make this a good choice for travel and general pictorial photography. Although the telephoto range seems a likely option for portraits, its f5.6 maximum aperture does not permit the shallow depth of field desirable for those shots.
The lens fits in Nikon's lineup between the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and the 18-200mm f3.5-5.6G IF-ED VR options; there is also an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED lens still current, but it lacks VR.
- Compact and lightweight at 14.8 ounces, in part due to its all-plastic construction.
Its G designation refers to its lack of an aperture ring.
As an internal focusing (IF) lens, the front element does not rotate which makes it good for working with circular polarizing filters.
The filter size is 67mm, with plastic threads on the filter mount.
There is no focusing scale, no depth-of-field scale and no infrared focusing marks. The only markings on the lens are the focal lengths displayed in white with markings for 18, 24, 35, 50, 70 and 105mm.
- Nikon's VR optical image stabilization technology. The VR compensates in real-time for shake and vibration with no degradation to the image. With only one mode, it is either on or off.
Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) delivers fast and quiet autofocusing.
It employs Nikon's Super Integrated Coating for reduced flare and chromatic aberration. It works in conjunction with one ED (extra low dispersion) lens element and one aspherical lens element to ensure sharpness and contrast.
The lens incorporates Nikon's AF/Manual switch on the body. To focus manually just turn the focus ring, even if you're shooting in AF.
Includes a lens hood (HB-32) and a soft pouch.

Author Notes: I was looking for a recipe for quick pickled onions last time I made pulled pork sandwiches, and stumbled across this article: http://www.npr.org/templates... I found the idea of pickled prunes intriguing so decided to give it a whirl. I didn't want to use bay or pickling spice so used a mix of cardamom, pink peppercorns, and coriander instead. I also added some freshly squeezed orange juice & orange blossom water to amp up the citrus notes of the orange zest and spices. I think these may be the best tasting prunes I've ever had. These taste best after a minimum of 8 hours in the fridge, and should last for 2 weeks. (NB: the whole spices will cling to the prunes, and I enjoy eating them as they are like little flavor explosions. If you are averse to this you could coarsely grind them.) - hardlikearmour —hardlikearmour
Food52 Review: Once we started to list the ways we could imagine these prunes being served, we had trouble stopping: these sweet, sour and spiced bites would be excellent with a dollop of mascarpone or over ice cream, as a salad component or with oatmeal, or as an accompaniment to cheese or roast pork. The list goes on. In just 20 short minutes, the prunes plump up and absorb the tang of the vinegar and the sweetness of the sugar, and leaving the spices whole means you get little pops of flavor as you savor the fruit. You can reduce the syrup if you like before adding the orange flower water -- we kept it as is. - A&M —The Editors
Makes: about 3 cups
cup red wine vinegar
2-inch strips orange peel (pith is okay here)
cup freshly squeezed orange juice
cup sugar
teaspoons cardamom seeds
teaspoon coriander seeds
teaspoon pink peppercorns
3" stick cinnamon, broken in half
pound pitted prunes
teaspoons orange blossom water
- Combine vinegar, orange peel and juice, sugar and spices in medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it's at a boil, add the prunes and decrease heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft, but not falling apart.
- Remove the prunes & orange peel to quart jar (or other suitable container) using a slotted spoon. If you like, return the syrup to the heat, and reduce for several minutes until fairly thick. Stir in the orange blossom water. Pour the syrup over the prunes, stir to mix well and cool to room temperature. Once cool, cover and refrigerate.

"American Ninja Warrior" has finally found its ultimate warrior.
Pro rock climber Isaac Caldiero was able to best the Area 51 and Psycho Chain obstacles in order to take home the big win on Monday night in the NBC hit's season seven finale, making him the first athlete to ever to win the grand prize.
E! News caught up with Caldiero after his groundbreaking win in Las Vegas, where he admitted he's "still in awe" over the $1 million dollar prize.
"I mean it's amazing to think about, like I've never made or lived off more than $10,000 a year," Caldiero told E!'s Ken Baker of his serious pay-bump. "So to all of a sudden...like I can't even imagine what it's going to be like...the future is unknown."
And according to Caldiero, his girlfriend Laura Kisana, a fellow competitor, could be a future winner. While a female has yet to win the competition, Caldiero said, "There's definitely some little Ninjettes out there, Laura including. She's one of the top female athletes and I think she has what it takes!"
To hear more from Caldiero and the "American Ninja Warrior" hosts about the big finale and why the winner is "Clark Kent," press play on our interviews with them above.
"America Ninja Warrior" was renewed for an eighth season, which will being filming in Spring 2016.
And don't worry if you missed the three-hour finale and Isaac's big win as Esquire Network is re-airing it beginning at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15.

The Lady Bisons found themselves on opposite ends of shutouts as they split a doubleheader with Eastern Kentucky.
On a sunny Wednesday afternoon at Draper Diamond the Lady Bisons dropped game 1 by a score of 5-0 and then won the nightcap 8-0 in a game that was called due to the 8-run rule.
In the first game Kelsey Anderson held the Lady Bisons to only three hits, a season low. Anderson struck out seven batters and did not issue a walk.
"We came out a little flat," Lipscomb coach Kristin Peck said. "We talked about it throughout that game. We can't come out flat, especially at home."
Christen Campbell, 5-3, was on the mound for the Lady Bisons. She pitched her sixth complete game of the season, but also picked up her second loss. Campbell scattered 10 hits and gave up three earned runs. She struck out four and walked one.
Eastern Kentucky scored three runs in the fourth and added two more in the sixth on a home run by Chanze Patterson, her second of the season, Patterson also had an RBI-producing double.
Shyenne Hussey led all batters with three hits, one a double.
Center field Lauren Dortwegt hit a pair of singles from the lead-off spot. Left fielder Julia Davidson hit a double.
"We were never able to get anything going offensively," Peck said. "We had scattered hits. We popped up some bunts. We struggled getting anything going. Their pitcher did a good job of keeping us off balance."
In game two the Lady Bisons responded to a pep talk from Peck as they connected for 11 hits off of two Eastern Kentucky pitchers.
"They weren't pleased," Peck said. "We weren't pleased. They knew they were flat. I told them the physical part of the game will come if the mental part is there. They brought it mentally from the first pitch in game two."
Kalyn Fox started for Eastern, allowing nine hits and seven runs in 4 2/3 innings. She struck out three and walked two. Jenn Bledsoe came in and faced only two batters, giving up two hits and one run.
The game was scoreless until the fourth inning. First baseman Heather Collins led off with a home run, her fifth of the season, which ties her with Kellie Sirus for the team lead.
Kellie Sirus followed with a single. Shortstop Abby Keese reached base on a fielder's choice. With two outs catcher Niki Bails singled. Second baseman Kristie Sirus doubled to bring in two runs.
In the fifth the Lady Bisons sealed the win. With two outs Collins walked. Kellie Sirus singled. Samantha Little took Collins place as a pinch-runner. Keese singled Samantha Little home.
Campbell singled bringing in Kellie Sirus and Keese. Kristie Sirus doubled to score Campbell. Bails then stole home to end the game.
Kristie Sirus led the Lady Bisons with three hits and three RBI. Kellie Sirus, Abby Keese and Niki Bails each were credited with two hits.
"Hitting-wise we were much more focused at the plate in game two," Peck said.
Kim Jacobson, 3-2, went the distance for the Lady Bisons for her third shutout of the season. She allowed only three hits. She did not record a strikeout or a walk.
"Kim did a really good job of getting ground outs which is what she does best," Peck said. "She pitched an excellent game. It was big. We needed that out of her.
"She gave up one hit, a double, in the first inning. We got out of it. I think that was a big confidence builder to get out of that inning after giving up a good hit like that."
The Lady Bisons head to Georgia Tech Friday and Saturday for the Buzz Classic hosted by Georgia Teach. The 25 teams in the tournament are divided into five pools. The top three teams in each pool advance to Sunday's finals.
The Lady Bisons open Friday morning at 9 a.m. against New Mexico. The other teams in their pool are Centenary, Indiana State and Georgia Tech.
"It is going to be a tough tournament," Peck said. "New Mexico is a very good team. They play all of the teams out West. They play a solid game.
"Georgia Tech is typically ranked. They are in the top 30 this season. Indiana State is better than it has been in a long time. Centenary is the only team we don't know that much about."
