Unreferenced date November 2006 Intramural Softball also known as Pick up Softball is a variation of softball played by college student s and is designed as not to require superior Practice learning method practice or skill . The Regulation of sport rules are more relaxed than regular softball rules as to allow for a noncompetitive environment. Differences between regular softball and intramural softball There are commonly 10 players on the field at once 9 fielders and one pitcher . The reason for this surplus is that although there are 9 players on the field from each team , the pitcher pitches to his or her own team unlike regular baseball or softball . Therefore, the pitcher would not want to make a play as to force his or her own teammate to become out. The pitcher must throw all pitches underhand. Every pitch is considered a strike, regardless of whether it crosses the strike zone or not. This keeps the game from slowing down due to ball s, and also compensates for the ease of hitting due to the teammate pitcher . The extra fielder that the defensive team gains is commonly referred to as the Softball rover . The rover s job is to position him or herself between the infield and the outfield to catch all of the blooper hits. Rules and Regulations The field of play has no exact dimensions . The field is as large as the available space. Games are cancelled by weather only if it is raining or there is thunder and lightning at the time of the game s start. Teams that have 6 players or less must wiktionary forfeit forfeit the game. No team may play more than 9 players on the field, but 10 players are allowed to bat. All hit balls do not have to travel a certain distance, but the batter must have a full swing. A continuous performance of a swinging bunt may result in an automatic out. This means that Bunt baseball bunting is not allowed. Once the ball is returned to the pitcher ... hrs partnership intramural.html Dartmouth College Intramural Sports .

The Space Station Biological ResearchProgram is the main project concerning life sciences research to be conducted on the International Space Station . It is a program of NASA s Ames Research Center , with co operation from other national space agencies. The SSBRP s goal is to study the development, life cycle, and behaviour of certain organisms in the environment of outer space. For each studied organism, a specialized habitat device is to be constructed. These include The Advanced Animal Habitat , for individually or group housed rat s and mouse mice The Plant Research Unit , housing Arabidopsis thaliana and specialised wheat The Aquatic habitat , for various organisms including Zebrafish The Insect Habitat , studying Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies The Avian Development Facility , for research involving the eggs of Japanese Quail The Cell Culture Unit , to investigate several microorganism s, as well as to grow tissue cultures from humans, animals, and plants. Once flight qualified, habitats also referred to as subrack payloads would be carried to the Space Station aboard a Space Shuttle housed in the Orbiter Middeck , and transferred to a specially designed Habitat Holding Rack , which would provide them with the cooling air, power, and data connections required. On station, the habitats could also be housed in a centrifuge module that could simulate gravity with a magnitude between zero and two times that experienced on earth . When astronaut station crew needed to add or remove specimens, or perform certain other work, a habitat would be transferred to the Life Sciences Glovebox , an enclosed volume with glove inserts in the walls to allow a crew member to perform manual tasks.
