George Walton Lucas, Jr. (born May 14, 1944[1]) is a four-time Academy Award–nominated American film and television writer, director, and producer. He is best known as creator of the epic Star Wars saga and the archaeologist-adventurer character Indiana Jones. From 1977 to 2005, he served as co-writer and executive producer of all six Star Wars films, as well as director for four of the films. He also appeared in a cameo role in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. He is famous for his advances in special effects and filming techniques.
Today, Lucas is one of the American film industry's most financially successful independent directors/producers, with an estimated net worth of around $5.9 billion.[2]
Early life and education
George Walton Lucas Jr. was born in Modesto, California[1] to George Walton Lucas, Sr. (1913–1991) and Dorothy Ellinore Bomberger Lucas on May 14, 1944. His father was mainly of British and Swiss-German heritage and his mother was a member of a prominent Modesto family (one of her cousins is the mother of former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and director of UNICEF Ann Veneman) and was mainly of German and Scots-Irish heritage.
His parents sold retail office supplies and owned a walnut ranch in California. His father ran a stationery store and owned a small walnut orchard. His mother was in poor health, often bedridden, throughout Lucas's childhood. Lucas himself was short and scrawny as a child; his younger sister reportedly fought with other kids who picked on him. His experiences growing up in the sleepy suburb of Modesto and his early passion for cars and motor racing would eventually serve as inspiration for his Oscar-nominated low-budget phenomenon, American Graffiti. Before young Lucas became obsessed with the movie camera, he attended Thomas Downey High School, where he was an indifferent student at best. He was interested in race car driving; he dreamed of becoming a professional race car driver. For better or worse, that dream was abruptly ended in his early adulthood when on June 12, 1962, he crashed his Autobianchi Bianchina in a car accident. The car was clipped from behind while he tried to make a left turn into his driveway. The car rolled; the racing harness that he had installed snapped, and he was thrown from the car. Had the harness not snapped—and Lucas has said it shouldn't have—he would most likely have been crushed to death by the steering column when the car smashed into a walnut tree. (The force of the impact uprooted the tree.) As it was, emergency personnel had difficulty finding a pulse and at first thought him dead.
During his recovery, Lucas reevaluated his life and decided to go to college after graduating high school. He enrolled at Modesto Junior College, where he earned an AA degree and developed a passion for cinematography and camera tricks. During this time an experimental filmmaker named Bruce Baillie tacked up a bedsheet in his backyard in 1960 to screen the work of underground, avant-garde 16 mm filmmakers like Jordan Belson, Stan Brakhage, and Bruce Conner. For the next few years, Baillie's series, dubbed Canyon Cinema, toured local coffeehouses, where art films shared the stage with folksingers and stand-up comedians.
These events became a magnet for the teenage Lucas and his boyhood friend John Plummer. The 19-year-olds began slipping away to San Francisco to hang out in jazz clubs and find news of Canyon Cinema screenings in flyers at the City Lights bookstore. Already a promising photographer, Lucas became infatuated with these abstract films.
"That's when George really started exploring," Plummer recalls. "We went to a theater on Union Street that showed art movies, we drove up to San Francisco State for a film festival, and there was an old beatnik coffeehouse in Cow Hollow with shorts that were really out there." It was a season of awakening for Lucas, who had been a D-plus slacker in high school.
At an autocross track, Lucas met his first mentor in the film industry - famed cinematographer Haskell Wexler, a fellow aficionado of sleek racing machines. Wexler was impressed by the way the shy teenager handled a camera, cradling it low on his hips to get better angles. "George had a very good eye, and he thought visually," he recalls.
Lucas then transferred to the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts in Los Angeles. USC was one of the earliest universities to have a school devoted to film studies. During the years at USC, George Lucas shared a dorm room with Randal Kleiser. Lucas was deeply influenced by the Filmic Expression course taught at the school by filmmaker Lester Novros which concentrated on the non-narrative elements of Film Form like color, light, movement, space, and time. Another huge inspiration was the Serbian montagist (and dean of the USC Film Department) Slavko Vorkapich who had been a colleague of Sergei Eisenstein's before moving to Hollywood to make stunning montage sequences for studio features at MGM and Paramount. Vorkapich taught the autonomous nature of the cinematic art form, emphasizing the unique dynamic quality of movement and kinetic energy inherent in moving film images.
Lucas saw many inspiring movies in class, particularly the visual films coming out of the National Film Board of Canada like Arthur Lipsett's 21-87, the French-Canadian cameraman Jean-Claude Labrecque's cinema verite 60 Cycles, the work of Norman McLaren, and the documentaries of Claude Jutra. Lucas fell madly in love with pure cinema and quickly became prolific at making 16 mm nonstory noncharacter visual tone poems and cinema verite with such titles as Look At Life, Herbie, 1:42.08, The Emperor, Anyone Lived in a Pretty (how) Town, filmmaker, and 6-18-67. He was passionate and interested in cinematography and editing, defining himself as a filmmaker as opposed to being a director, and he loved making abstract visual films that create emotions purely through cinema.
After graduating with a bachelor of fine arts in film in 1967, he drifted a little, trying to figure out what to do next. He tried joining the United States Air Force as an officer, but was turned down because of his numerous speeding tickets. He was later drafted by the Army, but tests showed he had diabetes, the disease that killed his paternal grandfather. Lucas was prescribed medication for the disease, but his symptoms are sufficiently mild that he does not require insulin and would not be considered diabetic under the disease's current classification.[3]
In 1967, Lucas re-enrolled as a USC graduate student in film production. Working as a teaching instructor for a class of U.S. Navy students who were being taught documentary cinematography, Lucas directed the short film Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, which won first prize at the 1967-68 National Student Film Festival, and was later adapted into his first full-length feature film, THX 1138. Lucas was awarded a scholarship by Warner Brothers to observe the making of Finian's Rainbow (1968) which was being directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who at the time was revered among film-school students as a cinema graduate who had "made it."
Film career
- "I thought it was too wacky for the general public."
- ―George Lucas on Star Wars
Lucas co-founded the studio American Zoetrope with Coppola—whom he met during his internship at Warner Brothers—hoping to create a liberating environment for filmmakers to direct outside the perceived oppressive control of the Hollywood studio system. American Zoetrope never really succeeded, but from the financial success of his films American Graffiti (1973) and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, is highly regarded in the gaming industry.
San Anselmo is a city in California and arguably, according to George Lucas, the birthplace of Star Wars. On June 20, 2013, George Lucas donated two bronze statues to Imagination Park. The statues were of Yoda and the first life-sized statue of Indiana Jones.[4]
Following the success of American Graffiti, Lucas proposed a new Flash Gordon film adaptation, but the rights were not available. Under the American Zoetrope banner Lucas developed Apocalypse Now to direct following work on Star Wars. As work on Star Wars dragged on, Coppola took over directing Apocalypse Now, leading to the breakdown of the American Zoetrope partnership.
Lucas was also influential in the development of industry-standard post-production tools such as the Avid Film and Video non-linear editor, first developed as the Edit Droid, and the Sound Droid, which later became the Digidesign Pro Tools sound editing and mixing software.
The animation studio Pixar was founded as the Graphics Group, one third of the Computer Division of Lucasfilm. Pixar's early computer graphics research resulted in groundbreaking effects in films such as Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan[5] and Young Sherlock Holmes,[5] and the group was purchased in 1986 by Steve Jobs shortly after he left Apple Computer. Jobs paid U.S. $5 million to Lucas and put U.S. $5 million as capital into the company. The sale reflected Lucas's desire to stop the cash-flow losses associated with his seven-year research projects associated with new entertainment technology tools, as well as his company's new focus on creating entertainment products rather than tools. A contributing factor was cash-flow difficulties following Lucas's 1983 divorce concurrent with the sudden drop-off in revenues from Star Wars licenses following the release of Return of the Jedi. (Some twenty years later, on January 24, 2006, Disney announced that it had agreed to buy Pixar for approximately $7.4 billion in an all-stock deal.)
On a return-on-investment basis, Star Wars proved to be one of the most successful films of all time. During the filming of Star Wars, Lucas waived his up-front fee as director and negotiated to own the licensing rights—rights which the studio thought were nearly worthless. This decision earned him hundreds of millions of dollars, as he was able to directly profit from all the licensed games, toys, and collectibles created for the franchise. In 2006 Forbes Magazine estimated Lucas's personal wealth at U.S. $3.5 billion. In 2005 Forbes.com estimated the lifetime revenue generated by the Star Wars franchise at nearly $20 billion.
Some considered Star Wars to be the first "high concept" film, while others feel the first was Steven Spielberg's Jaws, released two years prior. In fact, Lucas and Spielberg had been acquaintances for some time and eventually worked together on several films, notably the first Indiana Jones vehicle, Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981. Along with Spielberg, Lucas is credited with (and even blamed for) establishing the blockbuster approach to filmmaking.
Lucas and director Steven Spielberg enjoy a friendship that dates to their college years, and that has resulted in collaborations on films including the Indiana Jones movies Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008).
The Directors Guild of America fined Lucas for refusing to have a standard title sequence in his Star Wars films. After paying the fine, he quit the guild. This made it hard for him to find a director for some of his later projects. According to some, he wanted his friend Spielberg to direct some of the later Star Wars movies, but as a member of the guild Spielberg may have been unable to do so. Spielberg has repeatedly stated that Lucas consciously did not let him direct any Star Wars films, despite the fact that Spielberg wanted to. Other directors Lucas pursued to aid him were David Lynch and David Cronenberg, both of whom declined.
Lucas was influential in the development of industry-standard post-production tools such as the Avid Film and Video non-linear editor, first developed as the Edit Droid, and the Sound Droid, which later became the Digidesign Pro Tools sound editing and mixing software.
On October 3, 1994, Lucas started to write the three Star Wars prequels, and on November 1 that year, he left the day-to-day operations of his filmmaking business and started a sabbatical to finish the prequels.
He recently announced that he would produce a TV series about Star Wars, which would take place between episodes III and IV. Lucas purportedly also announced that he plans on making two additional Star Wars films that will take place after Return of the Jedi, but this rumor was debunked at Celebration IV in Los Angeles, California, in May 2007. When Steve Sansweet, Director of Content Management and Head of Fan Relations at Lucasfilm, was asked about the proposed two films post–Return of the Jedi, he stated that it was a misunderstanding of what Lucas was explaining. According to Sansweet, Lucas was referring to the two Star Wars television projects then in production: Star Wars: Clone Wars which is a CG animated show that debuted October 3, 2008, and a yet-to-be-titled Star Wars live-action show that was set to premiere in 2009, the development status of which is currently uncertain.
Lucas appears in an interview on the January 15, 2008 DVD release of the Family Guy episode "Blue Harvest," which parodied Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
After The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm, Lucas provided story material for the seventh film, which would ultimately be titled Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Disney, however, ultimately chose not to use Lucas's story ideas in the final film. In interviews regarding the matter, Lucas stated that Disney "…looked at the stories and they said, 'We want to make something for the fans.' People don't actually realize it's actually a soap opera and it's all about family problems – it's not about spaceships. So they decided they didn't want to use those stories, they decided they were going to do their own thing so I decided, 'fine…. I'll go my way and I let them go their way.'"[6]
Innovations in film
- "Well, I would argue that the prequels are — and Lucas in general is — the bedrock that all of this is built on. He is the first person that had digital photography, he was the first person to do completely CG characters. The whole notion of not having even a print [version of the film], of having everything be 0's and 1's, was all George. Not to mention EditDroid, which turned into Avid, Pixar was spawned out of their laboratories at Lucasfilm, so he is arguably the center of the Big Bang for everything that I'm doing. It's building on the shoulders of what he was able to innovate."
- ―Jon Favreau
Besides his directorial and production work on movies, Lucas is one of the most significant contemporary contributors to modern movie technology. In 1975 Lucas established Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in Van Nuys, California, which was responsible for the invention of the special computer-assisted camera crane "Dykstraflex" that was used for most of the space fight sequences in the Star Wars movies (technology which was later adopted by most other visual effects production units, such as those responsible for Battlestar Galactica—considered very similar to Star Wars by many—and Star Trek: The Next Generation). Through ILM, Lucas spurred the further development of computer graphics, film laser scanners, and the earliest use of 3D computer character animation in a film, Young Sherlock Holmes. Lucas sold his early computer development unit to Steve Jobs in 1988, which was renamed Pixar.
Lucas is also responsible for the modern sound systems found in many movie theaters. Though Lucas didn't invent THX, he is responsible for its development.
Now Lucas is spearheading digital photography for movies. Though personal digital photography is now mainstream, most movie studios still use traditional cameras and film for movie production. Lucas departed from this model by filming Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones completely digitally. He showed the result to a select audience of the Hollywood elite, before the movie's general release. For the presentation, Lucas used a special digital projection system. The attendees said the movie had the clearest and sharpest presentation they had ever seen.
Despite the successful demonstration of the technology, movie studios are slow to move to this new model, in part because of the high price of the digital equipment. But digital movie photography has several advantages:
- Footage can be reviewed immediately on set after shooting, rather than having to wait for dailies to be printed.
- Digital editing is much easier and less expensive since the movie is already in digital form.
- Movies stored digitally are less susceptible to decay and degradation in quality.
- Transferring digital movies to DVD is much cheaper since both forms are digital.
Awards, donations and other activities
Lucas was nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Directing and Writing for American Graffiti, and Best Directing and Writing for Star Wars. He also received the Academy's Irving G. Thalberg Award in 1991. He appeared at the 79th Academy Awards ceremony in 2007 with Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola to present the Best Director award. During the speech, Spielberg and Coppola talked about the joy of winning an Oscar, making fun of Lucas, who has not won a competitive Oscar.
The American Film Institute awarded Lucas its 2005 Life Achievement Award on June 9, 2005.[7] This was shortly after the release of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, to which he jokingly made reference in his acceptance speech, stating that, since he views the entire Star Wars series as one movie, he could actually receive the award now that he had finally "gone back and finished the movie."
On June 5, 2005, Lucas was named 100th "Greatest American" by the Discovery Channel.
In 2005, Lucas donated US$1 million to help build the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial on the National Mall in Washington D.C. to commemorate American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr..[8]
On September 19, 2006, USC announced that George Lucas had donated $175 million to his alma mater to expand the film school. It is the largest single donation to USC and the largest gift to a film school.[9] Previous donations led to the already existing George Lucas Instructional Building and Marcia Lucas Post-Production building.[10][11]
In 1991, The George Lucas Educational Foundation was founded as a nonprofit operating foundation to celebrate and encourage innovation in schools. The Foundation's content is available under the brand Edutopia, in an award-winning magazine, on a website and via documentary films.
On January 1, 2007 George Lucas served as the Grand Marshal for the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade, and made the coin toss at the 2007 Rose Bowl. The toss favored Lucas's alma mater, the Trojans. His team, which came into the game as underdogs, went on to defeat the Michigan Wolverines (32-18).
On June 12, 2013, George Lucas received the Nora Zarky Humanitarian Award, an award for those who demonstrated support for the advancement of equal opportunity for all.[12]
On July 10, 2013, George Lucas received the National Medal of Arts from United States President Barack Obama himself, inside the White House.[13]
On September 20, 2013, SFMOMA hosted a party for the Bay Area Treasure Award, and honored George Lucas for the year.[14]
On February 9, 2018, it was reported that Lucas had helped to direct a scene in Solo: A Star Wars Story, which was released on May 25, 2018. This makes Solo so far the only Disney-helmed Star Wars film to have counted at least very little with Lucas' direct involvement.[15][16]
On December 18, 2018, Forbes reported that George Lucas was America's wealthiest celebrity, with an estimated net worth of 5.4 billion dollars.[17]
Lucas spearheaded the development of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is being constructed in Los Angeles, California.[18]
Personal life
In 1969, Lucas married film editor Marcia Lou Griffin, who went on to win an Oscar for her editing work on the Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. They adopted a daughter, Amanda (b. 1981), before divorcing in 1983. Lucas subsequently adopted two more children as a single parent: daughter Katie (b. 1988) and son Jett (b. 1993). [19] Lucas began dating Mellody Hobson, president of Ariel Investments and chair of DreamWorks Animation, in 2006. She accompanied him to the 79th Academy Awards ceremony in February 2007. As of January 2013, George Lucas became engaged to Hobson.[20] The two were married on Saturday, June 22, 2013 at Skywalker Ranch.[21] They have one daughter together, Everest Hobson Lucas, who was born via gestational carrier on August 12, 2013.[19]
Lucas was born and raised in a strongly Methodist family. After inserting religious themes into Star Wars he would eventually come to identify strongly with the Eastern religious philosophies he studied and incorporated into his movies, which were a major inspiration for "the Force." Lucas eventually came to state that his religion was "Buddhist Methodist."[22]
Lucas is a well-known aficionado of cars and racing.

Lucas also served as a producer on the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and many Expanded Universe and fan productions have one form or another of the credit "Special thanks to George Lucas."
George Lucas receives a large amount of negative attention from fans who claim that his recent actions influencing the Star Wars galaxy detract from the overall value of the saga. People who argue this point vehemently are sometimes called "Lucas Bashers."
Lucas bashing is a form of criticism of the works of George Lucas. Whereas normal criticism typically involves pragmatic engagement on the artistic merits of a work, Lucas bashing is characterised by a prejudicial stance often combined with personal attacks.
Filmmaking style and trademarks
A common theme throughout Lucas's works is escape. Lucas's films tend to emphasize visuals and plot. They often include chase scenes of some sort, and are often edited to move along at a fast pace. Lucas has a love of the past, and many of his works indicate this (American Graffiti, the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Radioland Murders, and Red Tales.) Additionally, his USC student films and THX 1138 were designed to be abstract and esoteric.
Lucas considers himself a "Trekkie" and has cited Star Trek as his inspiration for working with sci-fi. He also finds hypothetical "war" scenarios distasteful.[29]
In 1976, Lucas published a novelization of A New Hope, which was initially (like the film) titled just Star Wars. Although Lucas was credited as author of the book, it was later revealed that the book was actually ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster, who would also write Splinter of the Mind's Eye, the first original Star Wars novel and, in many respects, the first Star Wars sequel.
Lucas is a member of the United Methodist Church, though he claims that he doesn't believe in a specific religion, due to his college studies.[source?]
In his spare time, Lucas enjoys playing Star Wars video games with his children. He has also been known to read some of the Star Wars comic books, including Dark Empire. At one point, Lucas even said that he liked the story presented in the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire multimedia project so well, that if he had had the story in the 1980s, he might have produced a film based on the events in it;[source?] in addition, Dash Rendar's Outrider was added leaving Mos Eisley during the special edition of A New Hope.
In addition to his role as Baron Notluwiski Papanoida, Lucas has made two Expanded Universe appearances. His name was modified for Egroeg Sacul, a character paged on the Star Tours ride, and his likeness was used for a limited-edition action figure of a character called Jorg Sacul.
Lucas also appears twice in the Tag and Bink comics. He appears in Tag & Bink: Revenge of the Clone Menace in Dex's Diner and is depicted among the many characters chasing Tag Greenley and Bink Otauna on the back of the Tag and Bink Were Here trade paperback. Lucas also appears in the third part of the Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron: The Phantom Affair comic.
On June 5, 2005, Lucas was named the 100th "Greatest American" by the Discovery Channel.
In Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, there's a bust of George Lucas in the Jedi Archives.
In the non-canon special LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace, George Lucas makes an appearance, where he has to herd Darth Vader off screen after Vader interrupts scenes by inserting himself into them. He eventually tells Vader to get off of the set.

Sorry if my e-mail didn't get through to you Lewis, damn windows mail doesn't support hotmail. >.>
but I had a thought, would you be open to having people make "filler issues" of Lightbringer? I'm nowhere near Chad's skills at this point(but I'm decent enough) and I have my own webcomic hero in the works, but I'd love to keep the Lightbringer fandom stimulated. I'd hate to see it end and I'd love to make a issue of Lightbringer while you look for a permanent replacement, what do you think? If you want some examples of my artwork I'd love to send some to you...pending you have something Hotmail-relatable. ^^;;
And I can't be the only Lightbringer fan with some art skills, anybody else want to join me in keeping Lightbringer afloat? (if Lewis permits it)

ORONO, Maine – The Brandeis University softball team saw action for the first time in two weeks, taking on the Husson University Eagles at the University of Maine's Mahaney Dome. The Judges won the opener, 9-4, while Husson took game two, 6-2. Brandeis moved to 10-6 with the split, while the Eagles are now 6-4.
Junior Cori Coleman (Burr Ridge, Ill./Hinsdale South) was the offensive star for the Judges. The catcher in the first game and playing first base in the second, Coleman went 5-for-7 with five RBI, four runs scored and a pair of home runs. They were the first of the season and the fourth and fifth round-trippers of her career.
In the first game, Brandeis scored first, but had to play catch-up. In the top of the first inning, junior CF Amanda Genovese (North Haven, Conn./North Haven) singled and reached second on an error to lead off the game. She came home on an RBI double by classmate and shortstop Anya Kamber (Sammamish, Wash./Skyline).
Husson grabbed the lead in the bottom of the second, scoring four times against Brandeis senior Melissa Nolan (Windsor, Conn./Loomis Chaffee). The Eagles had four hits in the frame, all coming with two outs. An RBI double by LF Haley Spiers tied the game at 1-1, while pitcher Kayla Merrill helped her own cause with a two-run triple. Merrill scored on a hit by RF Allison Hill to give Husson a 4-1 lead.
Nolan would settled down and allow just two Eagle hits the rest of the way. Brandeis clawed back into the game in the top of the third on a two-run single by Kamber. The Judges tied it in the fourth, though they had an opportunity to blow the game open in that frame. Coleman doubled to lead off and scored on a single by junior Nikki Cote (Shelton, Conn./St. Joseph's). Despite one more hit and an error in the frame, two fielder's choices kept the game tied at 4-4.
The Judges reclaimed the lead in the top of the fifth inning thanks to wildness on Merrill's part. After the Husson hurler got the first two outs, Coleman and Cote each singled. Merrill then issued back-to-back walks to senior Leah McWilliams (Billerica, Mass./Billerica Memorial) and Genovese, with the latter providing the game-winning RBI. The Judges added three insurance runs in the sixth on Coleman's first blast of the day, while Kamber plated a run in the seventh to give her a career-high four RBI in the game.
Coleman finished 3-for-4 with three RBI and career-high three runs scored. She also tied her career-bests for hits and RBI in a game. Nolan earned her second win of the season with seven innings of six-hit ball. She allowed four earned runs and four walks, but struck out a season-high eight. Her first complete game of the season was the 30th of her career.
In the second game, Brandeis again got on the board in the first inning as Genovese got things started. She singled, stole second and moved to third on a Kamber single. Husson starter Amanda Ryan got Nolan out on a come-backer before Coleman drove in her fourth RBI of the day to open the scoring. Husson broke through against Nolan in the bottom of the third, when catcher Casey Lopes singled to lead off, was bunted to second and moved to third on a wild pitch. Spiers responded with a single to left that tied the game before getting put out trying to get back to the bag.
The teams traded three quick half-innings before the Eagles took the lead for good in the fourth against a new Brandeis pitcher, rookie Emma Krulick (Maitland, Fla./Winter Park). The first three Husson batters to face Krulick reached, with Lopes doubling home shortstop Lyndsey Merrill. Krulick limited the damage, however, getting two fly balls and a line-out to minimize the damage.
In the fifth, Brandeis stranded two runners, and Husson made the Judges pay, scoring two runs on four hits. Lyndsey Merrill singled to drive in what proved to be the winning run, while 1B Chelsea Brennan knocked in the home team's fourth run with a double. Krulick issued a walk to load the bases, but again got out of the frame with two fly outs.
Brandeis got one run back with Coleman's solo homer in the top of the sixth, but Husson got two more in the bottom of the inning against Judge rookie Melissa Soleimani (Somerset, Mass./Somerset-Berkley Regional) to close out the scoring.
Coleman's 2-3 performance with two RBI and home run was the Judges' top performance in game two. Genovese's stolen base in the second game was the 98th of her career. Krulick suffered the loss in the circle, the first of her collegiate career, to fall to 2-1 on the season.
Brandeis is scheduled to make its first home appearance this week, with Wellesley on the schedule for Wednesday, April 2 and Endicott on Thursday, April 3. Both are doubleheaders slated for 3 p.m. start.

Woman's anger after having the same car stolen twice
PUBLISHED: 16:52 11 December 2012
Archant Norfolk
A hearing aid consultant who works in Norwich is furious after having a car she has bought twice, firstly for her dying husband and then in his memory, stolen for the second time.
Louise Wright bought the dark blue Audi RS6 with her husband Ashley Wright in 2007 for approximately £20,000.
Mr Wright had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease and been told he had just 18 months to live and this was his dream car.
The car was stolen firstly in 2009 after thieves broke into the couple's home in Queens Road, Fakenham, while they were sleeping and took the keys.
Three people were arrested but the case against them was dropped due to lack of evidence.
The vehicle was recovered but Mrs Wright had already bought another car with money received from the insurance company.
She was told it was not the insurance company's policy to sell back to previous owners, but she eventually tracked it down in London through the Auto Trader website and bought the car for £11,250 in May 2010, two months after her husband died.
But it was stolen again from her Queens Road, Fakenham home last Wednesday.
She believes the same people may be involved in the theft.
Mrs Wright, who works at Amplifon, on Ber Street in Norwich, said: "The car was a big part of Ashley's life and I bought it in his memory.
"I am absolutely furious that this has happened again and I would urge anyone who has any information to contact the police."
Police are investigating the latest theft, which took place between 10am and 2pm on December 5.
Anyone with information should call DC Jon Duncan at King's Lynn Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

After the climactic "Ab Aeterno" last week, the Lost writers basically had to give viewers something a little more peaceful and static last night. Most of you likely knew going into "The Package" that a Jin and Sun episode never really provides the most eventful of story lines.
But last night's episode did something different than any of the others so far: It showed us a variety of viewpoints in different locations on the island, not to mention the reemergence of the Sideways story line. That means the central characters, Jin and Sun, had to show a lot of emotion and get their points across in fewer words than usual. It just so happens that most of their words were in subtitles. And to most people, subtitles equals boring. God forbid they have to actually read something…
Jin and Sun have been apart for so long on this show that at times it's hard to remember where they left things the last time they were together. Sun screamed at the top of her lungs in Lapidus' helicopter when she thought Jin died in Michael's freighter explosion. It was the most emotion she'd ever shown on Lost(and very well done by Yunjin Kim). Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) had promised that he was going to get her (and their unborn child) off the island. And he was true to his word. He just didn't know she would ever try to go back.
We have to gooo backkkk!!!
Sorry, any time I think of the words "go back," I get stuck in badly bearded Jack mode.
"The Package" was very much about promises — some believable and some not so believable. Despite all the promises these two have had hurled their way since their separation (and there sure have been a lot of them), the one thing that keeps them going is their promise to each other. Because, as the eternally wise (not really) Martin Keamy (Kevin Durand) says, "The heart wants what the heart wants."
Even though the Kwons have been separated for years, both characters have made it clear to everyone they encounter that their one goal in life is to be together. This is their island redemption story. The island has a kind of magic that breaks down all barriers, especially the ones placed on us by culture and gender roles. When Jin and Sun crashed in Flight 815, Sun had been on her way to L.A. so she could escape her restrictive marriage to Jin. She had secretly learned how to speak English, which she saw as her key to freedom. She had been cheating on Jin, knowing that Jin was not capable of conceiving. Sun was basically an excellent liar. But so was Jin. He was on the flight because he had to deliver a package for his boss, Sun's father. He also wanted to be free of his restrictive life… he had been required to lie to Sun about what he did for a living (he had essentially become a hit man) if he wanted to stay with her. He was resentful that he had to kill people just so he could be with the woman he loved. And he had become a horrible person to be around, a trained assassin, much like Sayid used to be. And more like Zombie Sayid is now.
Once they were on the island, and free of their restrictions (which were really all external ones), they lost their resentments toward each other and were able to realize the love they felt when they first met. Life has a funny way of doing that… of tempting us with distractions, of making us forget why we are with the person we're with, of making us more focused on what we're getting out of relationships instead of what we're giving.
Sun and Jin realized that only too late… and they've been trying for three years to get it back.
I think viewers really do love this couple, despite their tiring, never-ending (sometimes boring) search for each other. To watch them potentially reunite is to believe in the true power of love… that it is unselfish, it is what produces life — the opposite of the kind of chaos and destruction created by the cynical Man In Black.
And MIB, by the way, was all about reuniting people last night. It was strange for someone who's usually such a smokey, loner-type killing machine.
The only people who seem capable of truly following MIB/Flocke are those who have lost their will to live, those who have become so focused on their own anger that they've forgotten how to be a real, live human being. Those who are spiritually dead.
And in case we needed a blatant example of this, in the opening scenes of "The Package," just before Flocke leaves the camp to go find Sun, Sayid basically says, Hey, dude, what's going on here? I don't have any human emotions anymore! I can't feel pain or anger! This is a bit unnerving!
Flocke's response? "Maybe that's best, Sayid. You'll have to get through what's coming."
Just before Jin tries to make his escape from Camp Horror (and after he tells Sawyer that he can't listen to Flocke because of his love for his wife — "in love" equals "not spiritually dead"), he gets shot with a tranquilizer dart, as do the rest of the merry campers. And Widmore's goons carry him off to the Hydra Station.
And I have to call them "goons" because they haven't proven to be anything but that.
On the other side of the island, where people just wait to "figure out what to do next," two of the biggest "goofs" on the show, Miles and Lapidus, pass the time with a game of cards. Miles holds nine cards in his hand, most of them hearts. He has pairs of hearts, even.
Pairs of hearts. Knowing he'll win with all those pairs of hearts, Miles asks Lapidus to play his card.
Everything on this island revolves around a major game being played by Jacob and MIB. Now we know that if one side has a lot of heart, it's likely to win, just like Miles will in his card game.
What did everyone think of Sun's encounter with Flocke in her garden? Someone really needs to tell her to stop running off to that place alone. Only bad things happen there. She once got abducted by Charlie while chilling by herself in it. And I believe the garden was where Juliet kidnapped her and dragged her off to get a secret ultrasound.
MIB/Flocke approaches Sun at that one opportune moment because he recognizes how vulnerable she is. It's the same thing he did to Richard in the Black Rock last week — he let him suffer and starve before he freed him. It's the same thing he did to Sayid, who was angry at being exiled from the temple when MIB turned him to the "dark side." It's the same thing he tried to do to Sawyer — he visited him when he was grieving, listening to heavy metal, swilling whiskey and wearing the same underwear for God knows how many days… ugh, let's not go back there.
MIB even tried to create a situation to break down Kate, to get her so weak and upset that she'd start following him, too. He turned Claire against her. Oh, and how can we forget the way he manipulated Claire? Is there anything more vulnerable than a woman who's lost her baby?
Maybe a woman who's lost her husband.
But because Sun has her friends on her side, back on the beach (especially Jack), she's not capable of falling prey to MIB/Flocke's charms in that garden scene. She knows he killed people ruthlessly in the temple. She knows he convinced Ben to kill Jacob. She watched him throat punch and then pummel Richard.
She knows enough to not follow this guy. And she has a sense of purpose — she's been told that she's one of Jacob's candidates.
And on this episode, we finally saw that Jacob might in fact want both Kwons. How do we know that? Which characters check themselves out knowingly in mirrors in the Sideways story line? That's right: both Sun and Jin.
Sun's quite different in the Sideways story line and yet she's very much the same. She's still with Jin, whom she is apparently destined to be with, in any reality, but this time she is sneaking around with him, much like a rebellious teenager. She was to visit L.A. to go shopping on her daddy's dime and bring Jin as her bodyguard. But Jin visits L.A. on a business trip. His money gets confiscated in LAX because he never declared it at the airport in Sydney. Instead of going to deliver his package to Keamy, he allows himself to be seduced by Sun, who begs him to run away with her.
I loved the scene where she opens her eyes in her hotel room, placed just after the scene of her running away from Flocke on the island. It made it very much like the island was in her dreams, that this Sideways world is her concrete reality and the island world is a distant memory, a part of her subconscious.
I'm still not buying into this popular notion that this Sideways reality is what happens to the people on the island who don't follow Flocke. That they get better new lives because they "did the right thing" in the island reality. Even if that Room 23 video last night said "We create our own suffering," I really just want to believe that this is the reboot, it's because of Jack dropping Jughead into the Swan Station. But what do the rest of you think?
Back in Sun's hotel room (they get two separate ones thanks to their unmarried status and Jin's propriety), Sun reveals to Jin that she's got a secret bank account they can use for running away. He seems very surprised that she has concocted such a plan. She also needs to tell him that she's pregnant but doesn't get a chance to until she's been shot in the stomach, later in the episode.
This Sideways version of Sun is a person who keeps secret accounts, gets pregnant out of wedlock and strips down to her bra while drinking champagne in a hotel room with her "bodyguard." This is a very different Sun, indeed.
This Sun also can't speak English. When she tells Keamy she can't speak it, she's telling the truth. But then, Sideways Sun doesn't need to learn English because, in this reality, Jin actually pays attention to what she's saying. That wasn't the case in their previous off-island life. English had represented her freedom from her relationship with Jin.
This might be why after getting a bump on the head, the island version of Sun strangely can no longer speak it. It might be Flocke's doing, or it might be Jacob's, but it's pretty odd that all of a sudden she just can't communicate anymore. As Miles says, "We're supposed to buy this?" I think the writers chose to strip Sun of her English because it's something that will unite her with Jin at the end of the season. Jin will be the only person who can understand what she's saying. Plus, Jin will be speaking English, the language Sun had originally learned in order to escape from him.
They will finally both be speaking the same language. The language of love. Yeah, this is why people get bored with Jin and Sun.
How cool was that meeting of the two bald men on the beach? Widmore and Flocke recognize each other immediately, and although he tells his new "friends," John McCain-style, that he "comes in peace," Flocke declares war on Widmore. Then, because he can't travel over or, conceivably, under water, Flocke sends his newly demonic minion, Sayid (who looks very much like a cold-blooded Rambo when he emerges from those murky depths) to do his bidding.
In a very opposite role from Sayid, the reborn Richard is now a crusading knight, as evidenced by his purposeful, shiny, golden-cross-wearing return to the castaways' camp on the beach. He's a deliberate parallel to what's happening to Sayid. One's eternally alive, one is spiritually dead. You can't get more opposite than that.
Viewers have been describing Jack's part in last night's episode as a return to the old Jack, the one who doesn't act like an impulsive baby all the time. It was refreshing to watch him reach out to Sun, an act the Man In Black probably never counts on. He relies on separatism, on suffering.
Jack emulates Jacob in his scene with Sun on the beach. Some of his words and actions are similar to MIB/Flocke's methods. He promises to reunite Sun with Jin, when he doesn't know for sure if that can happen. He reaches out his hand to Sun and asks her if she trusts him. When he approaches Sun at her seaside bonfire, she is in pain and alone, just like every person Flocke approaches. But it's Jack's sincerity, his positive energy… it's what lies under the surface that makes his communication with Sun so different. He can get past her newly formed language barrier. He makes the effort to help her. They give each other a knowing glance and we have no reason to think that Jack has any ulterior motives.
This is the kind of situation that Jacob needs in order to find his replacement. And Jack is becoming probably the strongest candidate for that at this point.
This episode was filled with great, great, emotional performances by Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim. As I mentioned earlier, they have to get so much across in so few words, knowing that the audience is likely to miss some of those subtitles. While it was slightly annoying to see so much of Keamy's Jack Nicholson grin again, the inclusion of Jin's perspective on Keamy's confrontation with Sayid was a great trick. Showing the other side of this, the view from that freezer, just makes this Sideways world even more like it's truly reality. The framing makes it all the more real in a very metaphysical way.
The writers had a nice touch with bringing Mikhail Bakunin (Andrew Divoff) back to the show, that infamous Russian Other, as a translator for Keamy. In a Sideways wrap-up for Mikhail, he again loses his right eye and he gets killed in a way very similar to how he killed Charlie in the Looking Glass Station: by sneak attack.
Did you catch how the spot where Omar hits Jin on the head corresponds directly to where Sun gets hit? And as if the writers were mocking themselves, they even had Keamy say, "Omar's loyal, but he has no attention to detail." Because youhave to have attention to detail to follow this show!
And as if we didn't see enough promise making from both Flocke and Jack, Widmore tries his hand with it when he brings Sun's camera to Jin. Talk about manipulating someone's emotions. Despite evidence to the contrary, though, I think Widmore might be one of the "good guys" here. Hopefully I won't have to eat my words.
If Jin listens to him, it's a pretty good sign that he's not following the wrong side. And if Sun listens to Jack, she's probably got a good sense of his true character. One of the exceptional things about Jin and Sun is that they've spent good portions of their lives perfecting their skills of deception. They're not con artists like Sawyer is, but they are excellent at hiding their true emotions and motivations when a situation calls for it. It's a result of their culture, their upbringing and their own personal situations. So they both know a liar when they see one.
This is a season filled with cross purposes and vague, slightly sneaky deities. It's important to have guides when it comes to Lost, and who better than these two — people who don't rely on only English to find true understanding?
As usual, please leave any and all comments, questions and, hopefully, answers below. Especially if you're just as excited to see Desmond's return to the island as I am — and if you predicted that it was him locked up in that submarine — that he is, in fact, the ideal package. (Just kidding. Okay, maybe not.)

BEIRUT - Syrian rebels on Monday captured four villages in the heartland of President Bashar Assad's minority Alawite sect as they fought government troops for the second straight day in the mountains overlooking the country's Mediterranean coast.
Opposition fighters also said they captured about 400 villagers and pro-government gunmen in battles in the area.
Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, dominate Assad's regime. The capture of the villages in the coastal Latakia province was a symbolic blow to Assad, whose forces have been taking territory in recent weeks in central Syria.
Syria's conflict has taken on an increasingly sectarian tone in the last year, pitting predominantly Sunni Muslim rebels against members of Assad's Alawite minority.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebels captured the villages after attacking government outposts in the Jabal al-Akrad hills on Sunday. The group, which relies on reports from activists on the ground, said at least 32 government troops and militiamen and at least 19 rebels, including foreign fighters, died in Sunday's fighting.
Much of Latakia has been under the firm control of Assad's forces since the beginning of the conflict more than two years ago, but some areas, including Jabal al-Akrad, are close to rebel-held areas and have seen fighting.
It was a rare success for the rebels on the battlefield in recent weeks. Assad's forces have been on the offensive since taking the central town of Qusair in June, and last week captured a key district in the central city of Homs, an opposition stronghold.
A rebel in Latakia, who identified himself as Mohammed Haffawi, told The Associated Press that the rebels were getting closer to the town of Haffa, which was captured by Assad's forces in June last year, and had killed dozens in the fighting.
Haffawi said the rebels captured about 400 Alawite villagers and pro-government gunmen on Monday.
"They are in a safe place now and under the protection of the Free Syrian Army," he said, referring to key rebel group.
A Syrian activist also said the rebels had captured about 400 Alawites. He spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of government reprisals.
Meanwhile, Syria's state-run news agency SANA said government troops forced rebels out of three villages in Latakia that they had stormed earlier. It wasn't clear which villages the report was referring to but SANA said government troops had "killed dozens of terrorists, including Libyans and Tunisians."
Syria main's opposition bloc, the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition, hailed the rebel advance and said that Assad's troops had used the villages to attack rebel-held civilian areas.
The SNC also charged that regime forces used toxic gas in a chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburb of Adra on Monday and urged the international community to investigate the attack. The opposition has claimed more than a dozen such attacks across Syria and the latest purported attack could not be independently confirmed.
Last week, the United Nations said chemical weapons experts would depart "within days" for Syria to investigate three specific allegations of chemical weapons use. The U.N. gave a green light for the investigation following an "understanding" reached between the Syrian government and a delegation from the world organization that visited Damascus last month.
At the site of one of the regime's victories in Homs, Syrian Defense Minister Gen. Fahd Jassem al-Freij toured the ravaged district of Khaldiyeh on Monday, praising troops for what he told state TV was a "military miracle."
Standing in front of the historic Khalid bin al-Waleed mosque in Khaldiyeh, al-Freij vowed the army will "triumph against this universally-backed terrorism which is being exported to us."
Also Monday, rebels pressed on with their battle for the Mannagh military air base near the border with Turkey that they have been trying to capture for about a year. Syrian army warplanes carried out air raids to help troops defending the air base, activists said.
More than 100,000 people have been killed since Syria's conflict started in March 2011 as largely peaceful protests against Assad's rule. After opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent, it turned into an armed uprising and later escalated into a civil war.
The Assad government claims it is not facing a popular revolt, but a conspiracy by Gulf Arab states and the West seeking to destroy Syria by supplying Islamic extremists with weapons and funds.
Also Monday, Human Rights Watch said ballistic missiles fired by the Syrian army into populated areas have killed hundreds of civilians in recent months.
The U.S.-based group said it has investigated nine apparent missile attacks that killed at least 215 people, half of them children, between February and July. The most recent attack HRW investigated occurred in the northern province of Aleppo on July 26, killing at least 33 civilians including 17 children.
HRW activists visited the sites of seven of the nine attacks and found no apparent military targets nearby, the group said. Ole Solvang, a senior researcher with HRW, said it's impossible to distinguish between civilians and fighters when firing missiles with wide-ranging destructive effects into densely populated areas.
The HRW called on Assad to stop indiscriminate attacks. Government officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

A California man was charged with having child pornography - after burglars found the images while robbing his house and called police.
The burglars, a 19-year-old and a juvenile, broke into a barn owned by Kraig Stockard, 54, of Delhi, Calif., and stole about 50 CDs they thought were blank, according to a statement from Deputy Tom MacKenzie of the Merced County Sheriff's Department.
When the thieves downloaded the discs, they discovered the child porn, the statement said. They went straight to police, despite knowing that they'd be admitting the burglary.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Police searched Stockard's property and seized three more computers and three laptops, along with several external hard drives, according to CNN. Police said more than 30 computer discs had child pornography on them.
Investigators said Stockard has been downloading child porn since 2004. He was booked for possession of child pornography and posted $25,000 bail.
The two burglary suspects who reported Stockard have not been arrested.

text: Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, is Christianity's most important holiday. It has been called a movable feast because it doesn't fall on a set date every year, as most holidays do. Instead, Christian churches in the West celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. Therefore, Easter is observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25 every year. Orthodox Christians use the Julian calendar to calculate when Easter will occur and typically celebrate the holiday a week or two after the Western churches, which follow the Gregorian calendar.
