Sure. With Moore at QB, Carolina and the Dolphins were able to get Cam Newton and Tannehill the next year.
Matt Moore's days in a Miami uniform may be over after completing 11 of 19 passes for 131 yards on the season. [Moore] would love to find a team where he can compete to start and has relayed to the Dolphins that he is going to test the free agent market, barring an incredible offer from Miami. The Dolphins told Moore they want to keep him but have never given him a firm offer.
Sure. With Moore at QB, Carolina and the Dolphins were able to get Cam Newton and Tannehill the next year.
Yes, I'd sign up for that, while we look for a franchise QB. I think we'd do very well with him.
There will be other teams who will jump on him as well. Do you think he will chose the Chiefs, Jaguars or the Jets whose Head Coach has a tatto of the QB he is competing with?
I would rather have Matt FLynn as the bridge to whoever we draft this coming April. I like what i saw from him on yesterday during the Falcons/Seahawks game.
I am of the belief that the Jets are going to acquire a veteran QB and draft a QB for the future in the first three rounds of the draft.
Matt Moore is a possibility as a stop gap starter. I am not against signing him but you'd love to be able to get a better player. Options on the veteran market will be limited. You have the likes of Moore, Vick, Alex Smith, Jason Campbell, Carson Palmer etc
The interesting situation to watch is Josh Freeman. The Bucs do not want to give Freeman a contract extension and reportedly Schiano is not that high on him. He'd be an interesting guy to target through trade. Obviously, Matt Flynn's name will also come up. Perhaps in a deal that reunites Sanchez with Pete Carroll.
I don't think we bring in a FA QB that demands anything more then min, why waste the money. I know 2013 wont have the depth at QB as '12 did but look how many rookies started games, As much as Sanchez sucks just draft a QB along with maybe a vet min qb and let them compete.
Andrew Luck
Robert Griffin III
Ryan Tannehill
Brandon Weeden
Brock Osweiler
Russell Wilson
Nick Foles
Kirk Cousins
Ryan Lindley
B.J. Coleman
Chandler Harnish
he's below avg
Bring in Moore to challenge and possibly beat out Sanchez. Somehow get some real playmakers here, a legit OC, and TRY TRY TRY to salvage Sanchez's or Moore's carreers while drafting a future QB.
Barring an unforeseen release, he's the best FA QB on the market.
The key is - the team can not and must not overspend on a JAG! If any of these guys can come in at a respectable price tag, I'm all for it. At this point, I believe Moore is probably the best option of the JAGs available.
I think it was discussed elsewhere but I think we bring back the West Coast offense and Flynn would be a perfect 2 year stop gap until we draft and develop our QB of the future.

My original post was about three times the length (heh) so I edited out a bunch of details. But since people asked, about a week after making the plans with Beth, I found (in my couch!) a gift card for the movie theater, so I told her I would use it to buy the tickets. She did protest, but I thought it was perfect, because we were getting to do something geeky, and do it for free! I sincerely didn't look at it as paying for her ticket, and told her as much, because it was essentially found money - I didn't buy the gift card in the first place, and apparently hadn't missed it when it fell into the couch. She agreed, but said she would compensate by buying the snacks at the theater, which she did end up doing.
If Beth went out of her way to invite Jen, then I think that's something she ought to have checked with the OP first. If, on the other hand, Jen asked Beth if she wanted to go see P8M with her, and Beth said "Oh, I'm going with PrettySticks, why don't you come with us?", then I think that's much more understandable.
The analogy was specifically with regards to her point that if she'd asked if she could bring Jen, I would have said yes, so it shouldn't matter that she didn't take the time to ask. I was NOT saying that this situation was comparable to theft. My point was that the middle step - the "asking" - matters. Like... if I say "Hey, do you mind coming outside for a sec?" and you do, vs. if I go inside, grab your arm, and drag you outside. I could claim there was no difference, because either way you end up outside, but one is clearly ruder than the other. It was the processes I was comparing, not the acts themselves. Asking to invite a another friend vs. just inviting them; asking to borrow money vs. just taking it; asking you to come outside vs. dragging you out. No analogy's perfect, and obviously this one wasn't, but in the moment (during our Gchat) I was trying to come up with something to demonstrate how frustrated I was. But that analogy came toward the end of the discussion, kind of a last ditch effort to express myself. She had previously called my feelings stupid well before I even made the analogy. QuoteIf Beth went out of her way to invite Jen, then I think that's something she ought to have checked with the OP first. If, on the other hand, Jen asked Beth if she wanted to go see P8M with her, and Beth said "Oh, I'm going with PrettySticks, why don't you come with us?", then I think that's much more understandable.This is another part of the story I left out, but it's also to me a little odd to me. Apparently, the subject of the P8M came up between Beth and Jen (I don't know how specifically). Turns out, Jen was a fan too, and told Beth she had a ticket to a different screening - same time, but at a different theater location. So Beth suggested that Jen should exchange her ticket for a ticket to the showing at the theater we were going to. (Even though it was the same theater chain, it wouldn't even occur to me that this was something they could or would do, but I digress.) When Beth told me this part, I asked why she couldn't have at least run it by me first. And she said she couldn't wait! It was urgent! What if she took the time to ask me and by the time she got back to Jen the showing at our theater was sold out!? But that didn't seem like such a big deal to me. If she couldn't exchange her ticket for one to our showing, she would keep her ticket and see the movie at the other theater, which was clearly ok with her, because that was what she'd planned on doing anyway. There was literally no risk involved. Even the way Beth told the story, it wasn't Jen angling to come with us, it was Beth angling for Jen to change her plans. But Beth actually said to me, "What was I supposed to do, wait until Jen left, call you and ask if it was ok, then call Jen and see if she wanted to come with us?" And I know to her that sounded positively ludicrous, but... yeah, do that. And even though I agree, the situation from Victim of Fate that I quoted above is more understandable - especially if Beth were put on the spot - I still don't think it would have been so weird to ask me. So Jen says "I wanted to see P8M with you" and Beth say "Oh, I'm going with PrettySticks. I'd love for you to come with us, but let me just check with her first." In fact, I'd be willing to bet (though now I am veering into pure speculation) that Jen did try to bow out and not intrude on our plans, but Beth said it would be fine and that I wouldn't care. I've actually seen her do this kind of thing before, where someone in the group is trying to be considerate of someone who's absent, and she steamrolls over it with "No, they won't care!" Not necessarily because she's mean, but because she literally cannot imagine that they would care. Which I suppose works just fine if you're dealing with like-minded friends, but not so much when the minds are not alike.
OP, I know exactly how you feel and I would have felt the same way as you if in your position. I've experienced situations similar to this and I always remember feeling disappointed in losing the intimacy of the outing. It's true that the dynamic changes when things like this happen - albeit sometimes for the better, it's not a risk I am necessarily willing to take. I always end up just going along with it for fear of getting the reaction that your friend gave to you. Regardless, I feel that you absolutely have the right to feel the way you did and her unwillingness to offer any sort of validation for your feelings (even if she doesn't agree) is not what a true friendship is about.

RAYS win the division easy
Yankees are more of a mess then the Jets
Will the team translate onto the field as they are on paper? We'll see, but don't call them overrated. This is a TALENTED team. They also add Bautista, since he missed half the season last year.
The big question mark is obviously the pitching staff. IF they stay healthy, and IF they produce like they ought to, look out. Don't underestimate J.A. Happ. He is starting to come into the pitcher he was suppose to be. If Drabek ever puts his talent together, he will be the #1 on that team. If Ricky Romero remembers how to pitch again (remember, the EXACT same thing happened to Roy Halladay, and the Jays did the exact same thing by demoting him).
I think you will see the Jays, if this pitching staff holds together, trade one of their starters for a bonafide DH or 1st baseman. To add another bat to that lineup would be scary.
So, yeah, there are question marks. But I would not call this team overrated. This team, with all those injuries, still won 73 games. This lineup could easily win 100 games.
RAYS win the division easy
Yankees are more of a mess then the Jets
We go through this every year... Mets fans are out of the baseball forum by summer... Until the Yankees lose in the postseason, then they come back in chest thumping...
It's rather sad when you think about it. A sibling rivalry that the older, better looking, more established sibling wants no part of...
1. Yankees - A lot depends on what they do in April when 99% of the team is on the DL
2. Jays - lots of talent but they wont put it together until the end of the season
3 Rays - They will win games but not enough
4 Orioles - They wont win 75 1-run games like they did last season
5 Sox - wait till next year
1. Jays
2. Rays
3. Yankees
4. Orioles
5. Red Sox

A field of only five went to the post after the race was shifted from the scheduled 1 ½ miles on turf to 1 ¼ miles on a 'sloppy' main track. Jockey Jose Lezcano was aboard Buddy's Humor for trainer Bruce Levine and stalked pace-setting Presious Passion from the start before surging to the lead in the upper stretch.
Winning Jockey Quotes
Jose Lezcano:
"The conditions obviously were difficult and the surface was tough. I knew the five horse (Presious Passion) was the speed horse so I let them go to the front and just stalked him before I asked mine (Buddy's Humor) for a little something. It was around the 3/8s (pole) that we really turned it on. I felt good making the turn because I felt we were getting stronger. There was plenty horse."
Winning Trainer Quote
Bruce Levine (from New York):
"We talked it over before the race and didn't hesitate to go ahead and run when the race came off the turf. We were planning on going back to dirt with him later this year any way. I always thought distance would be no problem for him. When he ran in the United Nations last year (1 3/8 miles), the distance wasn't the problem. He only got beat two lengths, but he got hurt in the race on the 'yielding' ground and we lost some time with him. I don't have anything particular in mind for him next."
(Note: The victory was the first of the meet for Levine from 13 starters.)

MWL notes: Sano soaks up spotlight05/17/2012 10:56 AM ET
By Curt Rallo / Special to MLB.com
Attention? It isn't about to faze Minnesota Twins prospect Miguel Sano, who was the talk of Spring Training two seasons ago -- when he was 16 years old -- and is the subject of not one, but two documentaries about his stunning success in baseball at such a young age.
Sano, who turned 19 this month, was signed by the Twins for a $3 million bonus when he was 16. It looks like the move may be paying off. He is hitting .287 with 11 homers and 35 RBIs in 38 games with the Beloit Snappers.
Hailed as a marquee player even though he's in his full-season debut, Sano shrugs off the scrutiny. He currently has a film crew following him around in Beloit, Wis., but handles life in the spotlight like a seasoned veteran.
"The attention he's getting is similar to what some of the Packers get," said Snappers director of media & community relations Chrissy Scaffidi, who worked with the Green Bay Packers last season. "It's exciting. We get national media attention because he is a top prospect.
"Miguel is just a kid at heart. He goofs around, but when he does interviews, he's all business. He's completely professional. You would never guess he's the top prospect. He's very humble," Scaffidi added. "Even though he has a film crew following him around, he just acts the same as everybody else. He says and does want he wants, he has fun, he even has fun with them."
On the baseball side of things, Snappers manager Nelson Prada said Sano is one of the best prospects that he's ever managed.
"Miguel is a guy with a lot of tools," Prada said. "I think the power he has ... he's very mature for a 19-year-old kid. That helps a lot. He plays the game right. He has quick hands and he has good speed for a big guy. He's the complete package."
Minnesota switched Sano from shortstop to third base, and Prada said the transition has gone well.
"I think when you play shortstop, and you move to another position, it's a little easier for you than the other way around," Prada said. "The toughest position in the infield to me is shortstop. Going to third base, that position for him is not really hard. He played some third in the past, before he signed. He has an idea of how to play there."
Sano said through a translator that he is focused on learning and being patient with his development. He said hitting the breaking pitch and making better adjustments at the plate in RBI situations are priorities.
According to Sano, he's also fine-tuning his approach at the plate and trying to improve in RBI situations with two strikes on him in the count.
Sano's biggest challenge in the Midwest League has been the weather. He said the cold has been a tough obstacle to deal with in 2012. He added that although the weather has been an issue, the temperatures have been heating up, and he expects to heat up at the plate as well.
Prada said Sano's pitch selection needs sharpening.
"Miguel already has 11 homers and 35 RBIs, so the other teams won't pitch to him," Prada said. "He has to understand that when he goes to the plate, he's got to have a good approach, because they're going to pitch him differently. The RBI situation, he has to treat those at-bats differently than when there's nobody on. He has to really concentrate to get those RBIs. He's really good, but he's a young kid. He has a lot to learn."
In brief
Second home: Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez is finding a second home in Wisconsin. Gomez, who will play four games with the Timber Rattlers, is in his third rehab assignment with the club in the past three seasons. He played with the Rattlers for two games in 2010 and suited up for the Brewers' Class A affiliate for four games last season.
Smooth sailing: Lake County has navigated some choppy waters to start the season. The Captains were 4-13 after their first 17 games, but since then, Lake County is 15-6. The Captains won seven of their last eight games -- in those games, the pitching staff has posted a 2.50 team ERA. Cody Anderson (4-1, 1.89) has led the charge, giving up only eight earned runs in six starts.
Reversal of fortune: The South Bend Silver Hawks rolled into Bowling Green with a 7-0 record in one-run games, but promptly lost three of four to the Hot Rods by the score of 4-3, 3-2 and 5-4.

A teen who called police prefaced what she was about to ask with a simple statement.
"I just kind of have a ridiculous question."
A teenage girl in Forest Grove called dispatchers not for an emergency, but instead for a spider. Police said it happened during the night of Aug. 16.
"I'm home alone and there is a giant spider on the back of my couch, and I'm talking giant. I've never seen a spider this big and I have no idea what to do," Makenna Sewell told the slightly perplexed dispatcher, according to 911 records.
The girl estimated the spider was the size of a baseball, similar to a tarantula. She said spiders don't typically scare her, but a family member was recently bit by one and had to go to the hospital.
Plus, she said, this was a "massive freaking creature."
"I don't know if you guys have anything I can do, or if I just sit here and stare at it and wait for someone to get home to kill it," she told the dispatcher.
LISTEN: Teen asks police to respond to big spider
After the dispatcher pondered how to handle the situation, he agreed to have an officer contact her.
"Is that ridiculous?" she asked.
Sewell, who did not tell the dispatcher she has muscular dystrophy, which would have made killing the spider extremely difficult, later told Fox 12 she feels fortunate to live in a community with people so willing to help.
An officer did respond to the scene and estimated the spider was about 2 inches in diameter. Modern police equipment was not necessary to handle the eight-legged perp in this case.
The officer disposed of the spider with an old-fashioned rolled up newspaper, police said.
Forest Grove police said it's not normal for them to respond to a call about an arachnid, but they decided to help the young lady out in this instance.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire lawmakers are scheduled to vote Thursday whether to expand Medicaid under the federal health care overhaul law, but so far no compromise has emerged over a key difference: when to use the federal marketplace to buy private coverage.
An expansion would give Medicaid coverage to an estimated 49,000 poor adults earning up to $15,856 a year.
The Republican-led Senate insists on implementing a private option sooner than Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan and the Democratic House, who want to give other insurers more time to join Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in the marketplace — thus providing the competition needed to keep costs in check.
"What separates the two bills now is not philosophy, it's reality," Hassan said Friday. "In reality, the Republican bill simply doesn't work, and we can only seize this opportunity if we have a bill that works. We can't put working people in a situation where their health coverage will be taken away because one party insisted on unrealistic timelines."
Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro — a former congressman — said last week that Republicans believe Congress will address the problems with the Affordable Care Act by giving states more flexibility, making the Senate's aggressive timetable to move adults onto private coverage a possibility.
The House and Senate expansion plans are essentially the same for the first year, but take different approaches after that.
Both start by using federal Medicaid funds to pay for private insurance for eligible adults already on employer-sponsored plans through an existing state program. Others would be enrolled into a new state managed care program. State officials estimate up to 15,000 of the 49,000 people eligible for Medicaid under expansion would remain on their employer's plan.
The House plan proposes waiting to shift the remaining 34,000 people onto private insurance through the marketplace until 2017 — and only then if three providers are offering insurance plans and the state has more control over the marketplace currently run by the federal government. The Senate proposal shifts people onto private insurance through the marketplace in 2015 regardless if Anthem has a monopoly.
Both expansion plans would require federal waivers and would end if federal financial support fell below promised levels. The Senate would give the government one year to approve its plan to use the marketplace or expansion would end. The Senate last week agreed to start the 365-day clock a few months later than it originally wanted to give officials more time to get the waiver, but still insists on having absolute deadlines for approval that would allow the program to continue.
"Both sides want to find an agreement on this complex issue and the bill advanced out of (the Senate) committee Thursday gets us closer to that point than we have been at any time in the last six months," Senate President Chuck Morse said Friday.
House Speaker Terie Norelli said Friday the House plan also reflects significant compromises.
"We continue to be open to ideas, but they must be workable. It is critical we act now, further delays would be detrimental to the state and to our communities," said Norelli, a Portsmouth Democrat.
The Senate plan also would end automatically after three years when federal funding begins dropping below 100 percent unless the Legislature reauthorized it. Expansion is fully financed by Washington for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent.
House Republicans unsuccessfully fought to add a cost cap triggering an end of expansion and the provision for lawmakers to reauthorize it.
"If this is no longer affordable, we should no longer do it," argued Republican Rep. Neal Kurk.
Kurk said for people whose coverage would end, "they would revert back to their current situation" of getting charity care at hospital emergency rooms or clinics.

REDWOOD CITY — A Santa Cruz man faces misdemeanor charges for a boat crash off Brisbane last year that led to the drowning death of a San Francisco fisherman, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Phillip Larson, 76, is due back Friday in San Mateo County Superior Court on allegations stemming from the death of 30-year-old Minh Truong, who died after becoming trapped under an overturned fishing boat, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Larson was at the helm of the 41-foot Next Chapter when it rammed and flipped the 20-foot boat carrying Truong and his father on Aug. 3, 2011, during a fishing trip off Sierra Point, Wagstaffe said.
Larson reportedly told investigators he felt a thump as he cruised along at 11 knots, or about 12½ mph, and saw debris when he looked back. He next spotted the victim's father, Kiet Truong, then 50, screaming and clinging to the hull of the overturned fishing boat. Wagstaffe said Larson was charged because he wasn't paying close enough attention to other boaters.
Larson faces one count each of manslaughter with a boat and recklessly operating a boat, Wagstaffe said. A message left for Larson's attorney was not immediately returned Tuesday.
Lawsuits filed in San Mateo County Superior Court against Larson describe the crash in which Kiet Truong witnessed his son's drowning. The Next Chapter was headed south past Sierra Point when it plowed into the Truongs, who were anchored to the west of the main shipping channel in the Bay, tossing them into the water.
A suit lodged by Mary Ghai, mother of Minh Truong's two young children, references a previous lawsuit in which Larson was accused of being under the influence of alcohol during a June 2005 boat crash. In that case he allegedly crashed a boat called About Time into Hunters Point Pier, injuring at least one person, says the suit. Wagstaffe said Larson was not under the influence during the crash involving the Truongs.
Larson is out of custody on his own recognizance.

Tnf-Alpha Signaling Pathway In Oncology Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 286 different targets. All included targets have been cross-referenced for the presence of mutations associated with human cancer. To date 280 out of the 282 studied drug targets so far have been recorded with somatic mutations. The software application lets you narrow in on these mutations and links out to the mutational analysis for each of the drug targets for detailed information. All drugs targets are further categorized on in the software application by 60 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referrals to BioCarta, KEGG, NCI-Nature and NetPath.

A "journey" involving running in place in the deep end. Quite possibly I've gone off the deep end.
Sunday, December 5, 2010
Training - week ending 12/05/2010
One positive to report: my resting HR has stayed around 45, just slightly above what it was when I was at my fittest while running, even though I haven't done anything aerobic except poolrunning in over a month. That's a nice bit of validation for the poolrunning.
Monday: "15 miles" total. In the morning, "11.5 miles" – 1:40 hours pool running, including an "800s" workout of 10x3:00 at very hard effort, with 1:00 recovery, followed by full recovery and then 15 minutes at aerobic effort.. Strength training at night, plus 35 minutes easy pool running for 3.5 more "miles".
Tuesday: In the morning, "12 miles" – 2 hours mostly easy pool-running plus lower body strengthwork. (I also threw in 30 minutes of 90 sec hard/60 sec easy, but after being corrected by my coach later that day, I won't be doing that again.:)
Wednesday: "12.5 miles" total – In the morning, 75 minutes easy pool running for "7.5 miles" plus upper body weights; in the evening, 50 minutes easy pool running for "5" more miles.
Thursday: "13.5 miles" - 2 hours pool running, including a 40 minute tempo. Pilates session in the evening
Friday: "12 miles" – 2 hours easy pool running
Saturday: "19 mile long run" – 2:45 hours in the pool, including 5 minutes at "marathon/half-marathon" effort every 10 minutes; followed with strength training.
Sunday: "11 miles" - 1:50 hours easy pool running.

Nice week, I'm amazed how you are still kicking it in the pool!!! :)ReplyDelete

You have been absolutely amazing me in the weeks since you've been sidelined. I remember when my achilles was inflamed in February, I tried to cross-train mostly with pool running and anything even approaching an hour was about my limit. I wonder what I'd be capable of with your mental tenacity :)ReplyDelete
Curious... what kind of strength training are you doing now? Have you had to amend it any because of the foot?
Thanks guys -- It's getting to be the norm now, so not so hard.ReplyDelete
Mark: I've had to modify my strength training a lot, since I can't do anything that puts weight on the foot -- so normal push ups are out, as are squats, lunges, etc.
I've had to shift from free weights to using seated machines, but I can still get a decent workout in. The things that are really atrophying are my calves and glutes -- very hard to work those given my present limitations.
Great week of cross-training Cris! After it is said and done you will appreciate all that upper body strength.ReplyDelete

As a condition of the issuance of an Exploration Licence, BP must post within thirty days a security with the Petroleum Board in the form of a Work Deposit. The CNSOPB would then award the Exploration Licences to BP with an effective date of Jan 15, 2013. BP then must submit an Exploration Plan to the Petroleum Board within ninety days of that effective date.
In recent years, BP has secured access to significant new upstream acreage globally; half of BP's prospect inventory now comprises new plays and half is in proven plays in known basins.
"We are pleased about the quality and materiality of our exploration prospects. In addition to deepening in our existing core areas, our drilling programme is expected to test 15 completely new plays between 2012 and 2015," said Daly.

Hey fellas.
I'm building a html website in which users can search for certain products and be redirected to the website of the seller with the cheapest offer. There will be quite a lot of products listed on my site. Rather than manually keeping up with possible price changes, is it possible to design a script (for the lack of a better word) that crawls through desired products on the sellers' websites and automatically updates the price of the corresponding items on my site.
I'd like to add that my skillset is that of a beginner.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

It's fairly common for these kinds of nonsense figures to include: 1) the cost of doing stuff they would've needed to do anyway, like fix misconfigurations or patch security holes; and 2) salaries for regular staff who would've been paid the salary either way, like a sysadmin who had to take some time away from posting on Slashdot to respond to the incident.
The logic of ambit claims will goes like this (figures are examples only): the most revenue (not profit) we have ever taken in an hour is 1.5M, we were off-the-air for 2 hours (rounded up of course), therefore we 'lost' 3M. For that 2 hours our company-wide expenditure was 0.5M which was not bringing in money and therefore a 'loss'. Total 3.5M 'lost'. It, of course, completely ignores the massive spike in payments during the few hours after their system came back as the vast majority of payments that c
FTFA, the attack on Paypal was said to have cost them 3.6 m pounds, I doubt that.
I'm sure Paypal is very much interested in proving that in civil court. The pain is just beginning for those idiot boys.
nope - this is England.
We're done now. The boys will serve their time (presumably 9 months with good behaviour) and then move on with their lives.
note: it's not that in theory Paypal couldn't take a civil claim, just that in the UK it isn't generally the done thing. Apart from anything else, it wouldn't be worth it for Paypal. The boys almost certainly have little in the way of assets, so Paypal wouldn't recover much (and it would cost them a bundle in legal fees). On top of that, they would just end up loo
Peter Gibson was given a six-month suspended sentence.
He has lived a trite and meaningless life. Oh, wait. No. That's Gibbons, not Gibson.
I have zero sympathy for this kind of hacker, but that's a lot of time for a DDOS that apparently they didn't even execute if I read the charges right.
Well, that explains why he was involved. I can't imagine Ashley getting teased much as a boy though.
I believe the primary difference in the Mastercard and PayPal DDOS attacks is that they weren't just tryng to take down a website, but rather they attacked the domains that provided APIs to process payments. They were literally trying to disrupt business transactions.
They were not successful in fully bringing down either.
I also object to calling any criminal hacking "hacktivism". A legal protest can be more effective. They didn't advance their beliefs or causes, though they did break the law.

Can be, but not necessarily. If it weren't for criminals, we wouldn't be racially integrated today.

They didn't, but they tried. And that's better than most people do.

It is just a lesson that PayPal and others have purchased (lobbied) from our government.
These hackers should have gone into money laundering (e.g. HSBC - Too Big to Indict [nytimes.com]) instead.

Attempt a felony, be charged with a felony.
Join in a criminal conspiracy, provide support for the conspiracy, go down with your co-conspirators.
It doesn't matter whether the conspiracy succeeds or fails. Traditionally, it didn't matter whether you expected things to be taken as far as they were or end as badly as they did. There are echoes of this in the felony murder rule.
You don't want to be caught driving the getaway car in a holdup where someone gets shot. You don't even want to be the guy who suppl
My personal take is that this is a dual part answer. Anonymous is as awesome as it is terrible. The idea of anonymous is what I think I would champion most.
There are some good things done by the faceless group... and there are stupid childish things done by the faceless group.. neither the same part of the whole, but still apart of the group.
From this we see community, and from internet community, we see weirdos. Just depends on how deep you're wanting to look.
In most the the truth will out and the fact that 'Anonymous' doesn't really exist as a group, will out and the action you took in the name of 'Anonymous' will be purely those you are charged for and if proven convicted for.
In the US with the whole abortion that is the Department of in-Justice, any sort of weird crap interpretation will come to life and be thrown into the case. It'll only be a matter of time until the self aggrandising arse holes decide that each and every single individual request of a D
It depends on who they're going after.
I certainly cheered when they took on Sony over the Geohot affair.
There is a romantic appeal of the anonymous hero/vigilante righting wrongs from the shadows...
When multiple people are convicted of different things, listing their punishment as a "total" serves purely to make the story more lurid and, thus, to make whatever possibly reasonable point the author intended seem more likely to be incorrect. "Two of the three people credited with hacking financial networks received jail sentences, the longest for 18 months" would still be silly wording but at least not a blatent attempt to exaggerate.
They attacked because they stopped giving Assange his money. Now who is the bad guy here?
The world desperately needs a non-US based credit card so this sort of miss-guided government action doesn't happen again.
Although I actually think it's a long sentance personnally (if it was up to me I'd leave it at a sentance with no jail time since not being able to get a job and turning to crime might be enough for a first time)... I think it's short for the political setup we're seeing come through; Daily Mail readers who say lock them up and throw away the key. As such I'd rather this sentence length than life sentances or whatever's going round in the USA.
Am I dickless for settling for that?
Uh, no they aren't. But thanks for playing. Try reading the fucking article next time.
This is screwed up. Even the worst dictators in history have served less time. In 1923 Hitler attempted a coup with something like 600 men. He served just 9 months in jail. This was before coming to power legally (though what came later was contrary to the law of the land from my understanding of what happened). You would think threatening a countries leaders would get you more time than some minor protesting. Yes- this is protesting. It might be criminal although it is no worse than blocking traffic.

These people didn't have the same sort of contacts.

Attacking services is not acceptable.

People have died over blocked traffic and you want to raise it to that bar? Ok, you win.

That does not mean that every illegal thing is right.

Results 3-3
Women's college basketball
Lady Chargers
eliminated in OT thriller
The Ancilla College women's basketball saw their season come to an end in an overtime thriller, falling 63-56 at third-seeded Lake Michigan College in the opening round of the NJCAA District G Women's Basketball Tournament in Benton Harbor, Mich. on Tuesday.
Rebecca Bunkowfst scored a career-high 23 points for Ancilla (8-17), connecting on her first seven attempts from beyond the arc to set a team record for three-pointers in a game.
Allison Worden added 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists for Ancilla while Shalana Murray added five points and 11 boards on the night.
Kailee Weberg led Lake Michigan (18-6) with 17 points.
"I'm very proud of this team for how they finished the season," said Ancilla women's basketball head coach Dave Liverance, who will be stepping down after 11 years at the helm. "They won three of their last five games, and the two losses were to the number one team in our conference by one point and then an overtime loss to the number three team on their floor."
Ancilla had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation.
With the score tied at 55, Bunkowfst managed to get an open look but came up short on the effort, sending the game into overtime.
Lake Michigan went on to outscore the Lady Chargers 8-1 in the extra frame to advance to Friday's semifinal round at the LifePlex in Plymouth. They will play second-seeded Kalamazoo Valley Community College. at 3 p.m. EST.
"It's a tough loss for many reasons," said Liverance. "It's the last game of the season. For the sophomores, it's their last game in a Charger uniform. I'm so thankful for all the sophomores for what they have given to Lady Charger basketball."
8th grade girls basketball
Lincoln beats Edgewood
The eighth grade Lady Red Storm beat a tough Warsaw Edgewood school, 29-17.
Leading the way for Lincoln was Hunter Stevens with 12. Also scoring were Libbie Portteus and Kaydon Fosler with four points each, Haley Harrell with three, and Kirstin Riise, Abby Patrick and Allie Wright with a bucket apiece.
The Red Storm record improves to 11-2 and the team will be back in action at home tonight for the start of the conference tourney.
Men's college basketball
Cardinals drop
conference game
The Ball State men's basketball team suffered a tough loss Wednesday night as the Cardinals dropped an 87-70 Mid-American Conference contest to Western Michigan at University Arena.
The loss drops the Cardinals to 17-12 on the year and 9-6 in MAC play, while the Broncos improve to 18-11 overall and 10-5 in league action to move into sole possession of first place in the MAC West Division.
Ball State trails Western Michigan for the top spot in the MAC West by one game with one game remaining in the regular season.
The Cardinals can still clinch the MAC West Division and the number two seed in the upcoming MAC Tournament with a win Saturday over Northern Illinois and a WMU loss at Central Michigan.
Ball State finished the game shooting 41.1 percent (23-of-56) from the field and 27.8 percent (5-of-18) from three-point land. Senior forward Malik Perry led the Cardinals with 13 points as he was 7 of 10 from the free throw line and 3 of 6 from the field.
Jarrod Jones added 10 points and seven rebounds while Jauwan Scaife finished the night with 12 points, and Plymouth grad Randy Davis tallied seven points, two assists and two steals.

The aftermath of a stroke is rarely just about the skills a person has lost. Instead, it's about the identity that slips away when a person can no longer participate in the activities they love.
As program manager for Ithaca College's Center for
Life Skills, Catherine Gooch is dedicated to helping stroke
survivors regain this identity. By offering
participants a safe environment to practice real life skills --
whether it's gardening, baking, boating, or just picking up
their child -- Gooch says the Center for Life Skills and its staff
of Ithaca College faculty and students can help stroke survivors
recapture the life they had before their stroke.
"We help show participants that there's hope, that they don't have to stay where they are," Gooch said. "We want our participants to be able to say, 'I'm a grandma again, I'm a mom again, I'm a spouse again,' because they're doing activities they did prior to the stroke."
The program, located at the Longview facility in Ithaca, offers an affordable and personalized way for stroke survivors to continue their recovery after they've been discharged from a formal rehabilitation program. It was established by Ithaca College over a decade ago and is staffed by IC faculty and students.
Patients receive 10 hours of therapy per week for roughly four months. Offerings include occupational therapy, physical therapy, therapeutic recreation, and speech language pathology and audiology. The program accepts eight to 10 people per year and costs $500, though scholarships are often awarded to those in financial need.
Gooch says the program is designed to meet patients where they are in their recovery. Participants are given the opportunity to work individually or in groups, using whichever approach suit them best.
"We don't force people into situations they're not comfortable with," Gooch said. "It's based on what their goals are and what their strengths and challenges are."
Over the past 12 years, the program has helped more than 150 local people participate in activities they love. Gooch says she's constantly reminded of the program's success stories – whether it's running into former participants as they shop for groceries with their children or just sharing a phone call after they've left.
One participant, Gooch says, recently updated the staff on the developments in his life after he moved from the Ithaca area. He suffered a stroke when he was 54 and lived with his mother to get the care he needed.
After joining the program, he regained his independence.
"He was going through a divorce and was not feeling emotionally empowered as a father. There was a lot going on," Gooch said. "He came to the program and worked really hard. Since leaving the program he got remarried. He is living in another state now and is doing really well."
Gooch says her co-workers often tease her because recounting these success stories of former patients still makes her emotional.
"It gets me teared up because we do become like a family," Gooch says. "It's a tight knit group. It's just a safe, healthy environment for everybody."
The Center for Life skills is still accepting participants for the fall semester which runs Sept. 9 to Dec. 13.
For more information or to schedule an assessment please contact Gooch at (607) 375.6312 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Information is also available the Center for Life Skills website.

Two Monroe Tornadoes are about to become Hurricanes- Louisburg College Hurricanes to be exact.
Offensive tackle Hakeem Porter and defensive end Cortez Banks are heading to the North Carolina junior college next season.
Porter was a four year starter on the Tornadoes offensive line, while Banks led the team in sacks last season.
The present and future teammates say playing together at the next level has been a goal of theirs all along.
"We've been saying since 9th grade that we wanted to go to college with everyone of our friends," Porter says. "It'll better ourselves because we can help each other, either on the field, in the classroom, or any other thing that we need help with."
Porter and Banks say the Hurricanes' winning tradition is a big part of what drew them to Louisburg.

SAPPORO, Japan (Feb. 3) - Sarah Hendrickson (Park City, UT) climbed back onto the podium finishing third in a FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Sapporo that was plaqued by erratic wind. Austrian Jaqueline Siefreidsberger picked up her career first victory with the win. Lindsey Van (Park City, UT) was eighth. The series now heads to Zao, Japan for a pair of events next weekend.
QUOTESLindsey VanIt was typical weather for this area and made the comp very difficult. You never know what kind of wind you are going to get, so it is like a lotto game. I enjoy the randomness most of the time, though. It is an outdoor sport and is always fun.

Fifty years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. "had a dream."
Fifty years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. "had a dream."
The well-known words that he spoke in Washington, D.C., that day has inspired many to bridge countless cultural and socio-economic gaps in the country.
Today, Americans across the nation are reaping benefits of that dream and remember him as one of the most well-known leaders in of civil rights in U.S. history. This is true for McPherson locals of all ages and ethnicities.
Ray Gibbs, part of the Mac Diversity Team, was a teenager when King was shot. He remembers feeling the same way as when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
"They were people who were really trying to do something to impact a better understanding of people's differences," he said. "Dr. King influenced me a lot to judge people on their character. I carry myself the way I want to be treated and show people that I will treat them equally."
For 82-year-old McPherson resident Charlie Sumners, he remembers King when he was still speaking to the masses. Sumners said he always agreed with King's approach.
"What he was doing was pretty great," he said. "He made this (United States) a lot better place."
This perspective was demonstrated when Sumners was in charge of 17 men in the Army, two of them African-American. Sumners said the group was planning to eat together, but when the two African-Americans were not allowed to eat with them, they all left to find somewhere else to eat.
"If they're good enough to go out and fight with us, they're good enough to eat with us," he recalls thinking.
C.J. Luckey, a McPherson High School and Central Christian graduate, said although King wasassassinated before he was born, his lifestyle influences Luckey's approach to life.
"It's pursuing a dream, having an influence on people, standing for a purpose," he said. "He inspires me to become a better father, a better husband, a better leader, a better servant."
Luckey said this change in attitude has happened throughout the country.
"It's crazy to see a lot of the things he spoke about come to pass," Luckey said, giving Barack Obama's election as an example. "It goes to show we've come a long way. Racism is still alive, but it's improving.
It's gotten a whole lot better."
This is true even in McPherson. Luckey said he has enjoyed seeing more inter-racial couples and mixed children in the community.
"McPherson has become more diverse over the years," he said. "Some people don't embrace change, but McPherson does."
Community event
The McPherson community as a whole is invited to honor King and reflect on his life Monday, with a free service at 7:30 p.m. at McPherson High School. The event will celebrate America's civil rights movement and the hero who brought it to fruition. The theme, "Our World, Our Neighborhood," will emphasize unity, brotherhood, and commonality with others, rather than reasons for division.
This year's theme is derived from Martin Luther King's quotation, "What we are facing today is that through our scientific and technological genius we've made of this world a neighborhood. And now through our moral and ethical commitment, we must make of it a brotherhood. We must all learn to live together as brothers — or we will all perish together as fools."
The event will open with the invocation by Mayor Tom Brown and a welcome by Ray Gibbs, a member of the Mac Diversity Team. It will include performances by the following: McPherson High School Jazz Band directed by Kyle Hopkins; McPherson High School Mixed Ensemble under the direction of Nicholas Griggs; vocal duo Miriam and Nicholas Griggs; Caleb McGinn, award-winning acoustical musician; and vocal soloist C.J. Lucky. The program will conclude with Nicholas Griggs singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing."

BLOWOFF Some Steam in September
With the expansion of nightlife culture once again transforming before our eyes, the clubs seem more like a three-ring circus looking to appeal to any and every kind of flavor. On one stage the drag queens are holding court over all that is deemed fabulous. In another corner the bougie boys are serving up attitude, and serving it well. Then there are the twinks who often leave the party early once the open bar closes surrendering the dance floor to the "real men".
For more than 5 years now there's been one event, one party that has set aside all the pretense, put the beats at the center of the stage, and especially brought together the hottest men to simply have a good time. At a "BLOWOFF" party all that matters are the good vibes and the camaraderie that bring the best out of the crowd. This Friday, Sept. 13 @ 11pm the men of BLOWOFF will all be blowing off some steam at a new space, taking over the Gramercy Theatre at 127 East 23rd Street, between Park and Lexington Avenue in Manhattan.
Historically the BLOWOFF event has filled Chelsea's Highline Ballroom to capacity. Moving the party to a more centrally located space is proof that the event engineers Bob Mould's and Rich Morel's are dedicated to keeping things fresh and bringing in more dance floor revelers into the fold. For 5 years, Mould and Morel have improved one of the circuit systems most anticipated events of the season by keeping the focus on what should matter most: the music and its worshippers.
BLOW These Beats
Between New York and Washington, Mould and Morel have dominated the scene with their high-energy blend of rock and electro-house. Their style makes for some of the most energized symphonic experience. The duo always impresses with a dizzying set list that is as varied as it is unexpected. Their collaboration has lead to one of the scenes most recognizable brands, leading the party provocateurs to expand their horizons beyond just the beats per minute generating from the speakers. They make bank on t-shirts, jock straps, downloadable DJ set lists, and recognizable poster art worthy of decorating any burly bachelor pad.
BLOWOFF also still remains one of the best values, but tickets do go fast and prices sometimes increase at the door. If you're looking to follow the feast on Friday, head on over to the Gramercy Theatre in New York. Doors open at 11pm for the BLOWOFF Summer's end event of 2013. Want to know where all the real men are? This should not be missed.

While Americans were once advised to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," I think the time has come to ask our country. While it's not always true that "ask and ye shall receive," it is often true that if you don't ask, you won't receive.
There are so many things we could ask for--where to begin? In a country that proclaims its devotion to "family values" every time you turn around, it doesn't seem that all varieties of families are valued equally. Many families are headed by only one parent, and in those that have two, it's increasingly likely that both need to contribute to the family's income; and when the parents are working, where are the kids? Childcare for the youngest children that's safe, nurturing, high-quality and affordable can be a challenge to find, and we need support to make more of it available. The childcare questions don't go away once kids start school, either, since the school calendar is still based on a farming society model that's less and less appropriate for today, so policies supporting longer school days--if not longer actual instruction time, extending the days with on-site before- and after-school programs--and year-round schedules would be equally beneficial.
Childcare, school, and work all tend to fall apart when someone gets sick, though, and one of the sickest things in this country right now is the health-care system. Most people agree that reform is critical, but there's so much dissent about what form it should take that it gets stuck and nothing happens. The upshot is that affordable, accessible health care is necessary for everyone, especially families and children, regardless of someone's employment.
The tricky part of asking the government to get involved in any of these issues, though, is who's going to pay for it. Businesses will pass the costs along to the market if they are required to make changes without being compensated somehow. Direct funding from the government means that government debt, taxes, or both (most likely) need to increase at some point: Spending cuts and redirection of funds from other areas won't take care of everything that's needed. And speaking of taxes...
For the record, I don't object to paying taxes in either theory or practice. They're the cost of the services our government provides for its people. But in a country where, as previously mentioned, two incomes are increasingly necessary for families, a tax system that's still based on the "one-provider" family needs to be overhauled. In my first marriage, both my husband and I had to have our taxes come out of our paychecks as if we were single in order to make sure we we covered at the end of the year. It was an unfortunate shock for my second husband when we filed our first joint tax return and he saw what we owed; his ex-wife hadn't worked, and he hadn't realized what a difference it made in that respect. (He was certainly aware of other differences.) No one wants taxes to get any more complicated than they already are, but I think this is a really basic issue that's out of whack for many working families, and it needs to be changed.

Fish & Frolic in Coffs Harbour

In Australia, the No.1 recreational activity is fishing, with more people choosing to participate in this pastime than engaging in any other hobby or spot. And due to its popularity, many families choose to holiday at places around the country that provide optimum conditions for fishing. Often better known for its tourist attractions (like the Big Banana) and great beaches, Coffs Harbour is actually one of the best places to fish in Australia. Enthusiasts can catch a variety of fish species all in the local area — something not found in most fishing havens. Apart from offering world-class fishing spots, the Coffs Coast is also the perfect place to enjoy swimming, snorkelling, diving, sightseeing, shopping, kayaking and more. If you're ready to visit this holiday hot spot, then book a hotel in Coffs Harbour and read on for three of the best areas for fishing and frolicking.
Solitary Islands Marine Park
In New South Wales, the Solitary Islands Marine Park is the largest marine protected area in the state. Extending around 75 kilometres along the Coffs Coast, this group of islands is popular with fishing enthusiasts who love to get offshore for deep-sea fishing. While the area has zones where fishing is not allowed, in the regions where you can dangle a line you're likely to catch an array of species such as snapper, pearl perch, Spanish mackerel, jewfish, amberjack, kingfish and more. Visitors to the Solitary Islands Marine Park can also enjoy scuba diving and snorkelling in the waters, and are sure to be impressed by the area's 550 species of fish, 90 varieties of coral and 600 types of molluscs. The region is home to various turtle species, and hosts humpback whales during the autumn and winter months. While in the area, you may also be interested in visiting Southern Cross University's National Marine Science Centre that is adjacent to the Marine Park. The centre is suitable for all ages and is home to the Solitary Islands Aquarium, and has guided tours and visual displays.
A small community in the Coffs Coast region, Repton is approximately a 20-minute drive away from Coffs Harbour. It's popular with both locals and tourists who enjoy freshwater fishing. The region boasts clean rivers and lakes, and is ideal for anglers who want to try their hand at fly fishing, salmon or trout fishing. The two most popular fishing spots nearby Repton are the Repton Rail Bridge and Repton Hole. They both provide deeper-water fishing where tourists are likely to catch mangrove jack, school jewfish, flathead, mulloway, trevally, perch and stud bream. While visiting Repton, travellers can also enjoy boating, swimming, relaxing picnics along the river, canoeing and horse riding. Repton is adjacent to Bongil Bongil National Park, so hikers and bird-watching enthusiasts are well-catered to. If food and wine are more your scene, then head to nearby Raleigh Vineyard and Winery to sample local cheeses and wines; if you prefer to get the adrenaline pumping, then don't miss a visit to the Raleigh Raceway.
Boambee Beach
Boambee Beach, near the village of Sawtell, is popular with locals and tourists alike. It's regularly visited by fishermen, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, joggers and Jet-Ski owners. The Beach provides anglers with both beach and river fishing, and the standard catch includes blackfish, flathead, whiting, mulloway and brim. At the southern end of Boambee Beach, you'll find Boambee Creek Reserve. Although it's a popular spot for families with young children (due to the shallow water and picnic and playground facilities), there is also a pedestrian bridge located under the rail bridge which provides fishing enthusiasts with access to the southern end of Boambee Beach. When not spending time catching fish in the area, tourists can enjoy amazing views from the Boambee Lookout and perhaps even spot migrating whales from June to November. There are also plenty of walking trails to explore, lots of shops, cafes and galleries to enjoy in nearby Sawtell, and many safe cycling tracks in the region.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- When it comes to golf course management, there is a lot more to know than how to run a mower. Education is crucial with a growing demand for personnel trained to manage turfgrass.
Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences is helping to fill that need by offering a conference that will provide information about golf course management to practitioners, industry representatives and students.
The 2012 Penn State Golf Turf Conference will be held Nov. 13 to 15 at the Nittany Lion Inn on the University Park campus. Some of the best and brightest in the industry, including United States Golf Association agronomists, university turfgrass experts, golf course superintendents, industry representatives, graduate students and others will share their expertise and cover important topics.
Turfgrass management is an evolving topic with a constant flow of new information to assist golf course superintendents, according to John Kaminski, associate professor of turfgrass science and director of the Golf Course Turfgrass Management Program at Penn State.
"Whether it's the latest products available for pest control or innovative ways to communicate, there is something for everyone at the conference," he said.
An optional preconference seminar will be held from 8 a.m. to noon Nov. 13 by Peter Dernoeden of the University of Maryland. This session will cover techniques that golf course superintendents can use to manage creeping bentgrass in the hot and humid Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
Industry experts will cover topics such as turfgrass nutrition, equipment purchasing options, weed control and other aspects of golf course management. Keynote speaker J. Rhett Evans, CEO of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, will provide an overview of future trends for the golf course industry.
The conference also will provide a chance for those in the golf industry to say goodbye to the late Stanley Zontek, who was considered by many to be a turfgrass legend. The conference will be dedicated to the life and career of Zontek, and will include a video tribute of what he meant to the industry. An evening gathering during the event will celebrate his life and career, and raise money for the newly named Stanley J. Zontek Turfgrass Endowment at Penn State.
"The Penn State Golf Turf Conference has a long history of providing education to golf course superintendents throughout the world," Kaminski said. "This year's event will be no different, and we are delighted to have participants from throughout the United States and as far away as Scotland."
Participants can register for the full conference in advance for $120 or on-site for $140. There is also a one-day registration option in advance for $75 and on-site for $90.
Optional fees include $75 for the pre-conference seminar, which includes lunch and a copy of Dernoeden's book, and $18 for the Turf Club Luncheon (limited tickets).

The East Central University men's basketball team gave the fans a great game, earning a 68-67 last-second win over Southeastern Oklahoma State in Great American Conference action at the Kerr Activities Center.
The Tigers (6-10, 3-7 GAC) were led by a trio of players in double-digits. Junior Colby Carr earned his sixth double-double of the season with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Fellow junior Gregory Ardister added his third double-double of the year, with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Junior Miles Mitchell rounded out the group with a season-best 15 points, including five triples.
ECU was the first to score on a triple from local freshman Nick Anderson, who earned his first career start. The Savage Storm (10-6, 6-4 GAC) then went on a 4-0 run before the Tigers scored again. The teams traded shots and a three from Southeastern, with 16:22 left to play, gave them an 8-11 advantage.
The score remained stagnate for the next two minutes before ECU started a 4-0 run over a minute span to take a 12-11 lead. The Tigers continued the push the momentum and took a 17-13 lead half way through the stanza. ECU built its lead out to as many as 10 points over the next six minutes, but the Savage Storm followed with a 10-0 run of its own in the final minutes of the half to force a 28-all tie on a last second three.
Southeastern continued the run into the second half, scoring the first four points, and pushed out to an eight point lead (34-42), with 14:41 left on the clock. ECU slowly picked away at the lead, forced a tie at 58 and took a 63-58 lead with 5:25 left to play.
The Savage Storm fought back to tie the game at 63, with 3:45 remaining, and the teams battled through the rest of the half. With 50 seconds left to play, Southeastern scored to take a 65-67 lead, but a free-throw by Ardister on the next possession cut the lead to one.
ECU got a break when the Savage Storm missed a lay-up with 19 seconds remaining and Carr came down with the rebound. Carr fed the ball quickly up court and junior Chris Fisher moved through traffic and scored a shot with seven second left to give the Tigers a 68-67 lead. Southeastern had one last shot for the lead, but failed to get a shot off before time ran out.
The key advantages for the Tigers were three-point shooting and free throws. ECU made nine triples to six by the Savage Storm and connected on 11-of-23 shots from the charity stripe, while limiting Southeastern to just 16 trips (7 made).
The Tigers will hit the road for one game before returning to the Kerr Activities Center for two games next week. ECU will travel to Searcy, Ark., for a Saturday, Jan. 26 battle with Harding at 4 p.m.

DENVER — Joseph Prieto has made history incrementally at Holy Family.
Last season, he became the first Tigers wrestler ever to compete in a state championship match. Saturday night, the junior became the first to win one.
Tactical and precise, Prieto defeated Valley's Omar Sotelo 4-0 in the Class 3A 138-pound title match at the Pepsi Center, avenging a tech-fall loss to Jefferson's Aaron Cisneros in last season's 126-pound final.
"Last year kind of sucked losing in the finals, and I've been wanting to be a state champ since freshman year," he said. "Finally making that happen feels great."
After a scoreless first round, Prieto (38-4) got a takedown midway through the second to go up 2-0 then scored two more on a reversal early in the third. That was plenty to hold off Sotelo (36-10).
Prieto's twin brother, Julian, wasn't as fortunate in the 132-pound final, but represented well in a 6-5 loss to Dolores Huerta's Jared Mestas. At a tournament in Florence earlier this season, Mestas beat Prieto via a tech fall.
"I had wrestled that kid earlier in the year and he destroyed me," Julian Prieto said. "Last time, it just sort of snowballed out of control. This time I was prepared for what I was doing."
Mestas (39-1), also a state champion as a sophomore and a fourth-place finisher as a junior for the Scorpions, led Julian Prieto 4-2 after the first round and 6-4 after two. Prieto scored an escape point midway through the third, but a defensive Mestas wouldn't surrender a late takedown.
For Julian Prieto, who finished third at 120 pounds last season, he can follow the blueprint set by his brother. Get to the championship one season, win it the next.
"Definitely," he said. "Next year I'll have to do better."
Joseph Prieto had to quickly shift his emotions after watching his brother's narrow loss moments before jumping on the mats himself.
"Actually, I feel like watching Julian's matches are one of my best warm-ups, whether he wins or loses," Joseph Prieto said. "I feel like watching him helps me."
The brothers live in Fort Lupton and commute to Holy Family, where they also play football. They swim for Brighton in the spring. The concept of being the first champion in a school that has been around nearly a century was uncanny to Joseph.
"Fort Lupton is a bigger wrestling school," he said. "They've had tons of champions and tons of placers. To be the first one (at Holy Family) feels great. It's great to see the wrestling program improving each year."
In addition for Holy Family, junior heavyweight Willy Clements finished the season 27-11 after losing a consolation quarterfinal bout 4-3 to Brush's Oscar Soto. A win in that match would have guaranteed Clements a placing spot.
