Sophomore pitcher Kyle Winkler said the pitchers have been pitching every day in preparation for their 2010 season.

The recent Christmas Day attempted terrorist attack has once again raised the proverbial red flags in question of the nation's domestic safety. Amongst heightened fears comes a report from a commission to analyze U.S. defense mechanisms and proposed responses to an attack threatening national security.
