Bat rolling is an illegal way (Although it is clearly legalin the ISA sanction of softball) of breaking in a composite bat as if hitting 500 balls. The basic idea is when you roll the bat, it breaks in the composite material evenly and to it's full potential. This makes your bat "hot" right from the start and takes away the months of break in time, which is sometimes advantageous and for this fact people get their bats rolled.

Where do Louisiana bats spend their winter at?
Most Louisiana bats go into a light form of hibernation called "Torpor". When temperatures get too low they will sleep together in the roost or colony. Occasionally waking up when temperatures rise above freezing at night for a small feeding flight. Depending on the species and roost preference, they may stay in the local area, and just move to the winter roost. Stay in the same roost location, or leave and head south to another roost geographic location.

Was Paul Blair's eye injury while at bat the reason batting helmets were started in 1971?
Not really. Beanings have been part of baseball since day one. Unfortunately, baseball was slow to require the mandatory use of helmets. There has been one death due to an injury that occurred on the diamond .... that was in 1920 when Cleveland Indians shortstop Ray Chapman lost his life due to a beaning. One might think that helmets would have been made mandatory after that but they weren't. The first team that made their players wear helmets was the 1941 Brooklyn Dodgers who earlier had two players, Joe Medwick and Pee Wee Reese, severely injured because of beanings. While these helmets helped to protect the batter, they had no earflap. Even though helmets were made mandatory in 1971, earflaps were not made mandatory until 1983. Hall of Fame Catcher Roger Bresnahan played between 1897 - 1915. Bresnahan most notable contributions to the game were in protective equipment. In 1905 after getting "beaned" in the head with a baseball began experimenting with head gear similar to the leather football helmet of the period that were made by A.J. Reach. Sliced vertically: one half for covering the left side of a right handed batter's head, the other for the lefty hitter. Two years later in 1907 he devised catcher's shin guards.
He was the only catcher using them. Ignoring the ridicule, it was not thought to be gentlemanly to use them. By 1909 the design was refined, and became accepted, and more wildly used. I will leave a link below for more information. -Steven KeyMan

Electronics, in general.
Also, you can save up for shopping sprees! Buy a ton of clothes, if you enjoy it.
Anything else you see and want at a store you should.
It depends on your gender, and your interests.
Good luck! :)
Do bats have good nightvision?
Bats have poor eyevision and they find their way around with the help of echolocation. That means that they send out a highpitched sound that gives an echo when it hits a object or a prey. So they don't use their eyes to see at night, they use their ears, although several kinds of bats can see better in dim light than do humans.

Known types of foxes that are believed extinct include:
Leptocyon - might be considered an ancestor of foxes. It went extinct around the end of the Miocene Epoch about 10 million years ago.
Vulpes riffautae is an extinct species of foxes of the genus Vulpes identified from fossils found in Chad in northern Africa. It also lived in the late Miocene.
Vulpes riffautae is an extinct species of fox of the genus Urocyon. It lived during the Pleistocene.
The Cozumel Fox may be extinct. Its habitat is (or was) the island of Cozumel, Mexico.
The "Falkland Fox" is another name for the Falkland Islands Wolf - which went extinct around 1876. Experts have not decided for certain if it was a fox. If not, then it was at least closely related.
The Sierra Nevada Red Fox was thought to be extinct, but a positive identification was made from a photograph and DNA samples from a bait bag that at least one is present in a remote mountainous area of California. Since the previous last known Sierra Nevada red fox was identified back around 1920 and foxes don't live for over a hundred years, the assumption is that there must be a small population of them somewhere out in the mountains of California.
A flying fox is not a type of fox. It is a relative of a bat.
How does sleeping during the daytime help a bat to survive?
Most bats are insectivores which means they eat insects. The particular insects they eat fly at night so it only makes sense that the bat keeps the same schedule.
Flying foxes (a large bat) eats fruit and is active during the day.
How many times a day does a bat eat?
Bats normally eat during the night, or begin at dusk. Bats are nocturnal and almost always feed during the night. Unless feeding a pup, they will stay out most of the night feeding. They might return to rest a couple of times, to help digest their food, depending on the species, after feeding for prolonged periods, then go back out to feed again. Returning to their roost before the dawn. The females that are raising young, will return to nurse their young pup several times, to every couple of hours, usually depending on the general overallhealth of the mother, the abundance of the food source, and the species.
