Edith Houghton became a professional baseball player at the age of 10, and was the first woman scout in Major League Baseball. She passed away this month at the age of 100. Words via Obit Of The Day , reprinted with permission.

Edith Houghton had an interesting childhood. While the rest of Edith's friends went to school, did chores around the house, or played with toys, she began playing shortstop on the Philadelphia Bobbies, an all-girls professional baseball team. She was ten. (She was so small that she had to pin her hat and her pants to make them fit.)
Ms. Houghton would spend much of her childhood on the diamond playing with various all-girls teams, commonly called "Bloomer Girls." She would play with the Bobbies for four seasons, ending in 1925 with a tour of Japan, playing men's college teams, when she was only 13. (Ms. Houghton and her teammates earned $800 a game during the tour.) She moved from Philadelphia to New York after her return from Asia and played six seasons with the New York Bloomer Girls. Her last known professional affiliation was with the Hollywood (CA) Girls in 1931, where she earned $35 a week.

During the Depression most Bloomer Girls teams found it hard to earn enough to continue playing. The last all-women's team of the era disbanded in 1934. Ms. Houghton would get her baseball fill by playing professional softball.
Random note: If you visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY you will find Ms. Houghton's Bobbies cap and her U.S.A. jersey from the Japan tour on display in the museum.

In 136 years of competition, a Labrador retriever has never won Best in Show at Westminster, despite being the most popular dog in the U.S. for the last 22 years. This insanity must stop.

The official breed standards for the Affenpinscher from the AKC say "The Affenpinscher is a balanced, wiry-haired terrier-like toy dog whose intelligence and demeanor make it a good house pet. Originating in Germany, the name Affenpinscher means, "monkey-like terrier." The breed was developed to rid the kitchens, granaries, and stables of rodents. In France the breed is described as the "Diablotin Moustachu" or moustached little devil. Both describe the appearance and attitude of this delightful breed. The total overall appearance of the Affenpinscher is more important than any individual characteristic. He is described as having a neat but shaggy appearance." They also say that Affenpinschers have a "tame, alert, and inquisitive" general demeanor. "with great loyalty and affection toward its master and friends."

The great Japanese auteur returns to his greatest muse: the cardboard box.
The film opens, as always, with a black on white title card in both English and Japanese. Simply seeing the word "box" in this film's name was a delight for long-time fans of the famous cat and his life's work. Maru has recently released several artful (the sunny spot, snow) but noticeably box-free films, and many were ready to see him return to the subject that he so obviously and deeply feels most passionate about.
In the opening seconds, we are introduced to both Maru, our hero-protagonist, and his great love: the box. Maru examines, and then climbs atop the box, asserting dominance and yet his desire is unsatisfied. We know where this is going, but as ever with Maru: the journey is the destination.
Source: youtube.com
Maru begins his effort. He is resourceful in his aim, but hopelessly enslaved to his love of the box. Anyone watching who's ever loved someone who refused open up to them can relate to this moment.

Maru briefly resigns himself to coexisting on top of the box...

Initial reports from local media say that Pistorius claims he mistook the woman found dead at his home for a burglar.

A woman's body has been found at the home of Olympian Oscar Pistorius, according to police and local media. The woman's name has not been released officially, but local media reports reports (translated from Afrikaans) say that the woman was Pistorus' girlfriend of the past year, and that he shot her in the arm and the head. According to the reports, Pistorius mistook her for a burglar. The woman died at the scene.
Pistorius was arrested in connection with the death and is expected to appear in court on Thursday. Reports claim that Pistorius was "shocked" and at the scene when police questioned him. A police spokeswoman contacted by Reuters declined to identify Pistorius, saying just that they "found a 9 millimeter pistol at the scene," and that "a 26-year-old man was taken into custody."
The 26-year-old Pistorius became the first double-leg amputee to participate in the Olympics when he entered the men's 400 metres race and was part of South Africa's 4 × 400 metres relay team in 2012. He was also a gold medalist in the 2012 Summer Paralympics.
UPDATE - February 14, 8 a.m.: South African police have charged Pistorius with murder, and say they will oppose his request for bail at this afternoon's hearing.
