By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
TOLEDO, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's tennis team wrapped up its busy weekend away from home on Sunday with a 6-1 road win against Toledo at Shadow Valley Tennis Club. It marked the second-straight victory for the Phoenix, which improved to 8-4 overall on the year.
Green Bay started the day with wins in the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles matches to earn the doubles point, and then went on to claim five of the six singles contests in the rout.
The nationally-ranked (No. 40) Phoenix tandem of Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) and Howard Scott (Exeter, England) got things started with a dominant 6-1 victory over Garrett Cona and Stjepan Sisko at No. 1, and Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) and Michael Tebon (Excelsior, Minn.) wrapped up the first point of the match with a 6-2 win against Mark Singnil and Nicky Wong at No. 2.
In singles action, Green Bay won the Nos. 2 through 6 matches to run away with its eighth win of the year.
Sophomore Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany) earned a hard-fought victory at the No. 2 spot, defeating Sisko 6-4, 6-4, while Tenzer rolled to a convincing 6-1, 6-0 win against Wong at No. 3.
Leto, Rowan Isaaks (London, England) and Jorge Gonzalez Soler (Madrid, Spain) also collected singles wins, as Leto beat Roberto Meza 6-2, 6-2 at No. 4, Isaaks knocked off Cona 6-5, 6-5 at No. 5 and Gonzalez Soler earned a come-from-behind victory (1-6, 6-0, 6-3) over Ryan Jorgensen at No. 6.
The Phoenix is back in action at home next weekend, welcoming South Dakota State for a 10 a.m. match at Western Racquet and Fitness Club.

Are the BU-9 Nanos being shipped widespread yet? If so, who has bought one. Give us a report.

Are the BU-9 Nanos being shipped widespread yet? If so, who has bought one. Give us a report.
I Have purchased one, look at the thread above for new video of the Nano in action, "I love my Nano" it is a beautiful little firearm!
I put one on lay-a-way at Cabela's today.I changed my mind from a Taurus PT111.I will get it in a couple weeks.
So far they are easy to take apart to clean.I have two boxes of shells and waiting for the weather to clear up so I can shoot the darn thing.And its raining again.
I have one and had two failures to extract in 500 rounds. Beretta needs to fix this issue. I would wait until the fix is done then you will love the nano it's a well built gun.
I have shot 250 rounds with no issues.I doesn't like cheap ammo.I also shoot 124 grain and so far so good.Magtech seems to work very well.The worst ammo I have used was WPA wolf ammo and it runs a little rough for it to cycle.Ran Magtech and its a lot smoother to shoot.I notice a big difference between junk and quality.Good ammo equals good results.Just my two cents.
The beretta nano should be able to run with all ammo. My failures to extract was with Winchester 147 sxt law enforcement ammunition and not cheap stuff. No excuse, they need to fix the problem asap.
I bought this to replace my S&W .380 Bodyguard, but I am not real comfortable with that decision. I like the feel of the Nano, but am very disappointed.
Does anyone know of a fix or do I just need to sell it? I don't have time to deal with unreliable equipment.
Follow up:
I took my Nano back to the dealer and left it with them for the day to test (at my request). He ran a box through it and let someone else use it with no failures. My conclusion: operator error on my part. As someone who is use to bigger guns and revolvers I am having to really learn to focus on a firm grip with these new compacts and subcompacts.
I have since put about 400 rounds through it with no problems. My suggestion to other new Nano owners: let someone with experience use it before you call it a bad gun. It does have a lot of recoil and needs a firm grip!!!
Love mine now. Thank you to my dealer for helping!!!
I am one of the first owners of a Beretta Nano. I purchased from Cabelas last November. I have fired approx 900 rounds through the gun. In my opinion you are getting a very well made gun in the $400 price range. I owned a Kahr CM9 shot a Kimbr Solo, Glock 26, Ruger LC9 and in my opinion the Nano is tops for a ccw. (Glock 26 is too big for pocket carry)
The gun is extremely accurate. (I am not a good shot but I can group 7 rounds at 7 yards in 1 1/2 inche groups consistenty. I never matched that with my Kahr CM9) There is a break in period even if Beretta does not admit it and the recoil spring is designed for high pressure loads. If you plan to shoot light loads for target practice you will need to loosen up the recoil spring by leaving the slide open for an extended period of time (I did for a week) and plan on firing a lot of rounds. I gave up on Walmart Federal Champion the load was too light.
I knew when my Nano was broken in when the light load spent shells cleared my head. My Khar CM9 owners manual told me the break in was 200 rounds. Beretta does not advertise a breakin but my Nano turned the corner and felt smoother at the 700 round mark for light loads. If you shot +p it would not had taken as many rounds but +p is too expensive. Leaving your slide locked open and racking is advised.
My ammo report is as follows:
5/250 FTE (Failure to extract) Walmart Federal Champion 115 grain fmj
2/500 FTE S&B 115 grain fmj
0/30 FTE Gold Dot 124 grain JHP short arrel (my carry round)
0/54 FTE 115 grain Black Hills JHP
0/50 FTE 115 grain reloads
Bottom line the Nano is designed for high pressure rounds. 124 grain is most ideal. If you plan to shoot cheap 115 grain Walmart target ammo I would suggest you avoid Federal Champion. S&B 115 grain has been good. It is rated as a high power factor round for a 115 grain. (Power factor is determined by velocity x weight divided by 1000.) For example 1,230 fps x 115 grain /1000 = 141 power factor. An ideal 115 grain round like the S&B will be knocking on the 1,200 fps range. That velocity will provide you enough recoil (power factor) for the Nano especially until the recoil spring loosens up.
The flat design and internal slide lock makes the Nano a great pocket and IWB concealed gun. I really like the smooth flat feel in the pocket and against my belly if I am carrying IWB. The gun is flat out bult like a tank. It weighs 3 oz more than the Kahr CM9/PM9 but it is worth it. When you feild strip the gun you will be amazed at the quality. The rails look like a train could ride on them and the slide is thick and by adding a stainless lined receiver to the poly frame makes for an incredible solid feel to the point you think you could beat a nail into a 2 x 4.
Hickok45 has a new review out on the Nano, looks good.
Love my Nano so much I gave her a makeover.
That pistol should be on the cover of Guns and Ammo. Purdyist nano I've ever seen.
Thank you!! Its Robar NP3.... A huge improvement over the factory coating. :)
That looks so very nice.

Teaching Philosophy: My interest in poetry is fundamentally engaged with my work as a healer, and this interrelationship informs my approach to teaching. The best poems invite us into an empathetic space, the voice of another consciousness. Thus I try to teach empathically, entering my students' poems with my sensibilities attuned to what - in both craft and content - abets my participation sensuously and intelligently. Spending as much time as I do listening to bodies through my stethoscope, I likewise try to auscultate my students' poems, paying close attention to their music. For this reason, I've long been drawn to so-called formal poetry, so I can help students rediscover meter, rhyme, and other elements of prosody in a way that feels embodied, not imposed.

A tennis champion, an actress, a French-language guru, a three-sport athlete and a national Hispanic merit scholar are the 2013 University of St. Thomas Father Vincent J. Guinan Scholarship recipients. The incoming freshmen will receive full-tuition scholarships to University of St. Thomas beginning this semester. These diverse students plan to grow in faith and character and aspire to careers such as a pediatrician, a trauma nurse, a French teacher, a nutritionist and a forensic psychologist.
Meet the 2013 Guinan scholars:
Diego Frias
Frias was a national Hispanic merit scholar, participated on the debate team and was a part of the Seven Lakes High School Orchestra. He currently attends St. John Vianney Catholic Church. He plans to work on-campus and is looking forward to joining the UST Honors Program. Originally from Mexico, Frias said the scholarship was a way of fulfilling his dream in his career field and his parent's dream for him to receive an education unavailable to him in Mexico.
He said he fell in love with St. Thomas the first time he saw the campus.
"I visited several schools and none compare to the atmosphere that St. Thomas creates," Frias said. "It's incredible to be able to feel like you're in your own little St. Thomas-world while being smack in the middle of Houston city life – it's truly amazing. I was also impressed with the attention and help I got even before I was accepted. The staff was very friendly, and it was one of the things that made me fall in love with UST."
Frias plans to study psychology to become a forensic psychologist. He would also like to investigate opportunities in the justice system.
Thanh Nguyen
Nguyen was blessed, grateful and relieved when she found out about the scholarship. She currently attends St. Hyacinth Catholic Church in Deer Park, Texas, and was the salutatorian of her senior class at Deer Park High School. A tennis player on the winning Deer Park tennis team who has been district champion for the past three years, Nguyen is excited to get into the Museum District area for the diverse backdrop that UST calls home. She plans to be in UST clubs such as Celts for Life, HOSA Future Health Professionals, the Student Government Association and the Vietnamese Student Association.
Nguyen said she is looking forward to starting her freshman year because of the rich education, accessible resources and welcoming atmosphere at UST.
"I liked that it is a Catholic university, because it would allow me to have the resources I needed to grow deeper in my faith," Nguyen said. "St. Thomas is known for its pre-med program, and is also conveniently located near the Texas Medical Center, so opportunities would be greater for me."
Nguyen plans to study biology to become a pediatrician.
Adrian Rodriguez
Parlez-vous français? Oui, oui says French connoisseur Rodriguez. At Sam Rayburn High School, Rodriguez was involved in the French club, French National Honors Society and Sam Rayburn's Texas French Symposium team. He also graduated ranked fourth in his class. Rodriguez said when learning a new language, people are guided to learn about new cultures, which is an extremely enriching experience.
He currently attends St. Juan Diego Church in Pasadena, Texas. Rodriguez said he has had his eye on the scholarship for some time because he wanted to help out his father, who maintains the sole income for his family.
"I knew I had to work very hard, for a long time, to be rewarded with something like the Father Vincent J. Guinan Scholarship," Rodriguez said. "What attracts me to UST is its balance between a liberal education and a Catholic one. I also like that it's a small university and professors and peers get to know you better and faster. The fact that it's close to home is great, so I can visit whenever I start to miss my mom's cooking, which I know will not be long."
Rodriguez plans to major in French and minor in education to become a high school French teacher.
Aaron Ruff
Ruff is a well-rounded individual who was a three-sport athlete and is strong in his faith life. He ran track, played basketball and was a Second Team All-State selection in football for the state of Wisconsin. He was also the senior core leader of a Christ-centered, student-led volunteer organization at Aquinas High School in Minnesota known as IMPACT. Somehow in his free time, he also performed in musicals throughout high school.
Having visited UST when one of his older brothers, John, attended, Ruff is interested in playing intramural sports, joining one of the many faith-sharing groups, a volunteer group, student government, and a health and wellness club. He is thankful he can help out his parents by being awarded the Guinan scholarship and getting a part-time job. This freshman lives an active lifestyle and looks forward to moving to Houston and meeting new people.
Ruff plans to major in biology and go into a field with the nutrition, the health sciences and physical wellness. He would like to contribute medical assistance in impoverished countries.
Erin Novak
Novak's sister made fun of her for an entire week because of her elated reaction to finding out she won a Guinan scholarship. This actress was the star of Duchesne Academy High School's rendition of "The Sound of Music" as Fraulein Maria. Currently attending St. Thomas More Catholic Church, Novak liked the Catholicity of UST and was impressed with the nursing program.
She wants to join the UST choir program, be active in theater and Campus Ministry. She can't wait for the challenges that await her.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge to have so much responsibility for myself," Novak said. "I will be much more independent next year, and I am excited about where that will take me in life and how it will shape me as a person."
Novak plans to study nursing to become a trauma nurse or biology to be a veterinarian. Read the version of this story posted in the Texas Catholic Herald (PDF).
Father Vincent J. Guinan, a visionary leader, led the Basilian fathers in founding St. Thomas and served as the first president. To further Guinan's mission, scholarship recipients are required to join the Presidential Ambassadors and participate in Campus Ministry activities.
Scholarship applicants must be Catholic, meet specific academic requirements and submit a 500-word essay and recommendation letter. The top 15 finalists attended an on-campus interview. They will all live on-campus in Guinan Hall.

The Charvel guitars brand was founded in the 1970s by Wayne Charvel in California. Charvel opened a guitar repair shop in '74 where he popularised custom revamps of the Fender Strat design. Renowned for its use of creative graphics and other innovative features, the name became popular in the 80s with axe men from bands like Twisted Sister, KISS and Bon Jovi.
The company was acquired by Fender in 2002, heralding a renaissance for Charvel guitars, bringing them under the same Fender banner as signature guitars of some of their most famed players like Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen.
With several guitars being manufactured in the US, Charvel has recaptured its original essence of providing high-quality American made professional guitars.
Van Halen is an American hard rock/metal band from in Pasadena, California who formed in 1972. The band achieved success after the release of its debut album Van Halen in 1978.
Eddie Van Halen is a Dutch-born American guitarist, keyboardist, songwriter and producer who is best known for being the lead guitarist and co-founder of the eponymous hard rock band. Eddie Van Halen built his guitar by hand, using an imperfect body and a neck bought from Wayne Charvel's guitar shop. From this, to being ranked 8th in Rolling Stone's 2011 list of the Top 100 guitarists.

One of the newer buildings on campus, the Art and Journalism Building provides more than 57,000 square feet of state-of-the-art classroom and studio space for the School of Art.
AJ has become a major focal point of campus life at Ball State. The building's first floor includes an impressive dining and food court area, the main university bookstore, and the School of Art's Atrium Gallery, a high-profile space for students, faculty, and visiting artists to display their work.
Classrooms and Studios
The school's classrooms and studios are organized around a central atrium, connected to the ground floor with major circulation corridors that create two "first floors" and allow students to travel at a diagonal throughout the building. Art education classrooms, photography studios, art history classrooms, visual resources, and computer labs are located on the second floor and are grouped with faculty offices. Visual communication studios as well as electronic art and animation studios are located on the third floor.
Two-dimensional art studios are located on the upper floors to optimize the natural lighting scheme. Faculty offices are grouped directly across from the studio spaces, making faculty easily accessible to students.
The three-dimensional studios are located on the first floor in a one-story construction that allows for a more efficient, industrial character of space, and provides ground-floor access for heavy art objects and an adjacent outdoor working space for sculpture and ceramics.
And an Art Museum
Not far across campus is one of the nation's largest and finest university art museums, with a collection of nearly 11,000 works of art valued at more than $40 million. Learn more about the David Owsley Museum of Art.

MPs belonging to all political parties in the British Parliament rose in anger at proposals from the government to double the time terror suspects can be held without charges being levied against them. There are fears the government may well expand the number of suspects twelvefold in the coming decade. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith insisted: "There is a clear trend of growing complexity, growing numbers of people involved, of international links, that make it at least likely that at some point, longer than 28 days may be necessary for police and other investigators to investigate, interview, sift the evidence, make the international links to be able to charge somebody." She sprang a surprise on the MPs by placing into the proposed legislation authority for the police to use the new power in dealing with any criminal, not just terrorists. David Dawes of the Conservative Party argued the proposal, in effect, meant England was now in a "permanent, undeclared state of emergency" that could go on forever. Bob Marshall-Andrews of the Labor Party argued the government had so far failed to give "a single example, not one," to justify the need for extending time to hold prisoners.
We live in the world of Bushmania in which governments can throw the word out of "terrorism" to justify any action against "suspects." After all, someone who has been "detained" is not yet a convicted terrorist, they simply are a human who has been charged with a crime. If the history of the United States is cited, there are simply very few actual examples of "terrorists" being charged with crimes, let alone convicted.


text: Surya Bonaly came second in 3 consecutive worlds to Baiul, Sato and Chen, while looking rather unhappy about it (especially in 94). So did she desreve golds in any of those years, and in which worlds? I think she came closest in 93, but lost due to presentation to Baiul. In 95 she was trailing out of the top 3 in the SP, but there was alot of ordinal flipping after Bobek and Markova took themselves out of it. Personally, although I prefer the other skaters, I think she deserved the 93 world title.

The Canisius baseball team scored six runs in the first three innings en route to defeating East Tennessee State 9-2 in Johnson City, Tenn. on Friday afternoon.
Junior Jesse Puscheck went 3-for-5 with two runs scored while senior Jimmy Luppens was 2-for-5 with three RBI. Senior Jose Torralba reached base three times with a single and three RBI while junior Mike Krische added two RBI.
Sophomore Alex Godzak went seven innings to pick up his first win of the season. Godzak allowed one run on five hits and struck out three on 88 pitches. Freshman Josh Shepley closed out the game by allowing one run in two innings.
Three straight one-out hits in the top of the first got the Griffs on the board, with an RBI double from Luppens scoring sophomore Brett Siddall. Junior Connor Panas followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0. The Griffs added another run in the second inning as Krische reached with a one-out triple and scored on an RBI groundout from senior Ronnie Bernick.
Canisius (4-3) doubled its lead in the third, with Puscheck reaching on a one-out single and scoring on a home run from Luppens. Panas and Torralba walked with a single from freshman Christ Conley loading the bases. Krische scored Panas with a sacrifice fly to put the Griffs up by six runs.
Canisius added single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Torralba had an RBI single, Puscheck had an RBI single and Torralba scored on an RBI groundout from Krische in the seventh.
The nine runs would be more than enough for Godzak, who didn't allow the leadoff batter to reach until the seventh inning.
The Griffs and Bucs play the middle game of the series on Saturday, with first pitch set for 1 p.m.
Game Notes: The teams met for the first time in program history… Senior Shane Zimmer hit in the leadoff spot in the order for the first time in his career… Godzak threw at least seven innings for the fifth time in his career… Puscheck extended his hitting streak to five games and has reached base in all seven games… Canisius had a season-low seven strikeouts.

The British police are going to expand their car surveillance operation that eventually will allow them to record and store details dealing with millions of daily journeys people make and maintain this information in their records for up to five years. A national network of roadside cameras will enable them to "read" up to 50 million license plates daily which would allow the police to reconstruct the daily travel of an individual. The project will result in being able to pinpoint the precise time and location of all vehicles on the road. Thousands of CCTV cameras across the country have been converted to read this data and capture the movement of people during the course of one's daily movements. Police helicopters now have infra red cameras which can read the license plate of a car from 2,000 feet in the air.
The director of Privacy International, Simon Davies, noted this data base provides British police with "extraordinary powers of surveillance" that no other democratic nation has given members of its police forces.
Of course, the police insist the data base will only be used for the purpose of good. We have heard that claim by governments such as the one run by George Bush.

The Champions League Group Stage draw pitted Arsenal with Montpellier, Olympiacos and Schalke.
In Euro Watch, we take a weekly check on the progress of Arsenal's European opponents in their domestic leagues.
Montpellier 1-0 Bordeaux
Sunday, November 25
Montpellier returned to winning ways in Ligue 1 after seeing off the challenge of Bordeaux. The visitors had won their previous three league games but were undone by Remy Cabella's 69th-minute winner. The victory sees Montpellier rise to 12th in the Ligue 1 table.
Schalke 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Saturday, November 24
Schalke were held at home by Frankfurt despite taking an early lead at the Veltins-Arena. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar gave the hosts the lead after 11 minutes, but Stefan Aigner levelled the scores just two minutes later. The draw sees Schalke drop down to third in the Bundesliga.
PAOK 1-1 Olympiacos
Sunday, November 25
PAOK equalised late on to take a share of the spoils as first met second in the Greek Super League. Rafik Djebbour had given Olympiacos the lead just before the half hour, but Stefanos Athanasiadis struck two minutes from time. Despite the draw, Leandro Jardim's side are eight points clear at the top of the table.

Hi, Vincent,
I've been listening to the evolution of TWIM, week by week, and want to say that I am delighted by the direction it has gone. I listened to #11 yesterday and found the format especially informative and interesting. By format, I am referring to the selection of, in this case, two papers, both of which were introduced well to orient the listener to the context and the topic. In each case there followed a real discussion among the co-hosts that was accessible to listeners with varied backgrounds. Acronyms and specialized terms were defined, or replaced by more common words.
As if that weren't enough, the viewpoints presented this week were particularly relevant and important vis a vis our microbiota, allergies, antibiotic usage, agricultural practices, and such. This information needs to be widely disseminated, and TWIM make an excellent contribution to that process.
Carry on!
All the best,
Merry Youle

Hello there Vince and friends!
I'm Jennie - an RN who has very much enjoyed your work (or is this play?) through TWIV, TWIP and now TWIM. Thanks for making fascinating subject matter approachable and fun. I've listened to your programs while traveling & caring for ill & dying family members - your voices helped me use the solidity of science as a kind of ballast during difficult times.
You'll probably pick & choose from this email what to discuss since I know I'm asking too many questions. Enjoy the choice!
Going back to TWIM # 5 - perturbation of Arctic soil using nanoparticles (gives me the willies) - one of your guests mentioned a thought - spraying human skin with nanoparticles to stop MRSA - yikes - another shiver of concern.
BUT WAIT! Way before I had a foundation for pro and pre biotics I quietly theorized that skin infections were an imbalance in the living systems that are usually on our skin - or that imbalancing the microbes there may be a prerequisite to skin infection. Also, I understand that when some pathogens invade the gut, one of the first tasks is to launch an attack on the commensal microbes that hold territory there.
Back to the skin & nasal mucosa. I understand now that the Human Microbiome project has identified many, many bacterial species on the skin that live in a complex interdependence on us. I believe a current CA-MRSA therapy is judicious use of antimicrobials & topical intranasal mupirocin - and that limiting use of mupirocin to avoid drug resistance is a concern for this treatment as it is for all antibiotic therapy.
So, let me make my case for this idea I have for a study - and perhaps personalized medicine. Attempted transplant of a cocktail of known NON-resistant commensal skin organisms to the skin (and nasal mucosa?) of person with CA-MRSA - perhaps after a reduction in bacterial numbers using a method that does not linger - so that the reduction method wouldn't interfere with the colonization of the new commensals. Perhaps drying? Perhaps phage?
Of course, not being a microbiologist, I don't understand the niche selection pressures for microbes, nor do I get why some colonize & why some are transient.
Related questions - I understand that, in some cases, simply by going for a while without anti-infectives, some people clear MRSA because of the lack of selective pressure for resistance - but that its not at all a sure thing - wonder what the odds are on that clearance - and what the factors are? Wonder how important it is that we have resistant microbes in our gut - is this a super complicated world of many kinds of plasmids - & are those plasmids in communication with our skin & nasal mucosa organisms?
Related questions on Triclosan & surfaces: do you think that Triclosan use in households selects for resistant microbes? What can you tell us about what you know on Triclosan in our homes & environment? I also wonder about the surfaces that we touch now - so many modern plastic or plastic coated surfaces instead of metal, wood & cotton. I was very much interested in your discussion on copper surfaces and know that wooden cutting boards are better antimicrobial surfaces than plastic after wash & dry.
And I leave you with a crazy idea. Of course I teach people to wash hands just before leaving work. How about washing, carefully drying - then recolonizing them with complex normal flora on their way out the door every shift - kind of like a handshake...? I can imagine one problem with this crazy idea might be - the complexity of microbes can't live off the human body long enough. I suppose there is nothing like a human handshake to transplant human commensals.
Alternatively - after washing & drying - apply a solution that selects NOT so much AGAINST MRSA etc. but provides conditions that FAVOR commensals - kind of like a pre-biotic for the skin. We would want to know what conditions make it a little shaky for pathogens while providing the best chance for beneficial commensal recolonization. Then, that recolonization might happen next time you touch another person - like your child when you come home...
Thanks for listening to my silly questions!
Warmest regards

Ice Cold Second Half Leads to 71-54 Loss at Drake
DES MOINES, Iowa (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay (15-13) suffered from ice-cold shooting in the second half and saw Drake (13-15) knock down nine three-pointers as both teams bid adieu to the BracketBusters with a 71-54 Bulldog victory at the Knapp Center on Saturday night.
Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) and senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) each scored 12 points to lead the Phoenix, who saw its three-game winning streak snapped in the non-conference finale. Freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) grabbed a team-high seven rebounds to break the program's single-season freshman record, which was set by Dennis Woeffler (209) in 1969-70, the first season in history.
Green Bay jumped out to a quick start, with Cougill scoring eight points and knocking down two three-pointers in the first seven minutes to put the Phoenix in front 17-7 at the 13:19 mark.
Drake would respond with some hot shooting from the arc late in the half from senior Ben Simons, who scored 11 of his game-high 16 points in the opening half. Simons, who was 6-of-10 from the field and made four from long range, drained a triple at the end of the first half for a 37-35 halftime lead.
Simons made another three on the first possession of the opening half, jumpstarting a 16-5 run that gave Drake a double figure lead (53-40) at the 14:35 mark. Green Bay would not get the deficit into single digits for the rest of the night.
After shooting 46.7 percent in the first 20 minutes, the Phoenix hit just 6-of-29 shots from the field after halftime for 20.7 percent. Green Bay was 0-of-8 from long range in the second half, finishing 4-for-20 from three.
Green Bay will finish its regular season at the Resch Center this week, hosting Milwaukee on Tuesday at 7 p.m. and Valparaiso on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Tickets for the final two home games are on sale with the Green Bay Athletics Ticket Office. For more information and to order tickets, please call 920.465.2625, visit the athletics department offices in the Kress Events Center or access GreenBayPhoenix.com/tickets.

AMES, Iowa – Families across Iowa will be getting together — virtually — once a month from January through June for an Eco Family Virtual Conference from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. It's an opportunity for families to improve the environment, reduce their carbon footprint and create community as they participate in a do-as-you-learn format.
The online conference has been designed with families in mind so everyone can participate and benefit, even families with young children. Conference materials connect families and encourage them to make conscious decisions about the environment.
Once enrolled in the conference, families will have access to educational videos, software to create personal avatar videos, family activities and other resources to explore for one month before the session. On the first Thursday of each month, January through June, participants will share during the 90-minute session what they have learned and experienced. As a group they will have the opportunity to create action plans for their family and community. All sessions begin at 6:30 p.m.
"Connecting to people where they are is one of the things ISU Extension and Outreach does best. We want to make this available to people in multiple places, rather than limit the learning experiences to a geographic location," said Kristi Cooper, an ISU Extension family life specialist and one of the conference organizers.
"With the flipped classroom families can apply what they learn, share what they did and get ideas for ongoing action plans as they connect with others of similar interests. Also, this is a way for people to create community close to where they live if they choose," Cooper said.
To participate in the conference, families need a computer with high-speed Internet access, speakers or headphones and a microphone. Registration is available online at www.extension.iastate.edu/linn/news/eco-family-virtual-conference-2014. The registration fee for the six-session virtual conference is $55 before Nov. 30 and $70 after that date. Registration also can be made by the session; fee per session prior through Nov. 30 is $10 and $15 per session after that date. Once registered, participants will receive log-in directions for accessing the virtual classroom for all conference sessions.

Bruins 5, Hurricanes 3: David Krejci scored to snap a tie with 1:50 remaining in the third period as visiting Boston exacted a measure of revenge after being swept by Carolina last season.
Captain Zdeno Chara scored for the second straight game and added two assists. Nathan Horton, Tyler Seguin and Krejci scored and set up a goal and Anton Khudobin stopped 29 shots in his season debut for the Bruins, who have killed off all 23 short-handed situations in 2013 after thwarting six power plays by the Hurricanes.
Jeff Skinner scored his team-leading fifth goal in four games and captain Eric Staal added a goal 50 seconds later. Defenseman Jamie McBain also scored and Cam Ward finished with 33 saves for Carolina, which outscored Boston 14-5 en route sweeping the season series in 2011-12.
With the Bruins enjoying sustained pressure in a tie game late in the third period, rookie defenseman Dougie Hamilton skated in and alertly fired a cross-slot pass to Krejci. The center one-timed the puck from the left faceoff circle past an out-of-position Ward for his first goal of the season.
After Horton gave Boston a 3-1 advantage with 4:08 left in the second period, Carolina answered two minutes later as Skinner beat Khudobin under the crossbar on the short side. Alexander Semin kept the pressure on and made Chris Kelly pay for a turnover in his own end by centering the puck to Staal, who snapped a shot past Khudobin for his fourth goal of the season.
GAME NOTEBOOK: With his 232nd victory, Claude Julien moved past Don Cherry into sole possession of third place on the Bruins' all-time coaching wins list. ... The Bruins' power play went 2-for-4 on Monday to improve to 3-for-21 this season. ... McBain's goal was Carolina's first this season in the opening period.

Seven years ago, the Bush administration initiated a "war against terrorism" aimed at wiping out terrorist groups in the Middle East. Seven long years have passed and now, instead of dealing with terrorists in the Middle East, the fight now entails terrorists in virtually every part of the world. Tuesday's al-Qaida strike in Algiers left 43 dead followed by another strike yesterday which resulted in 11 more dead, bombs exploded in Turkey and a devastating attack in Pakistan which caused dozens of deaths. Ten French soldiers were killed in an attack and twenty wounded in Afghanistan where violence continues escalating despite seven years of fighting against the terrorists.
The death of the ten French soldiers has unleashed a wave of sympathy in the Western world, but rarely do we witness such an outpouring of grief when ten Afghan civilians are killed by coalition or American air strikes. Perhaps, it is time to pose questions about the so-called war against terrorism and explore alternative strategies. It is clear the Bush approach of more soldiers and more air strikes only results in allowing terrorist forces to grow in strength. The world must explore new anti-terror paths and they most probably include less emphasis on the military and more on economic and social development. They also must include a new vision of intellectual and emotional development.

Depends on your price range / location. I too am looking at A3 printers and have basically narrowed it down to a straight fight between the Canon pro9000 and pro9500. Both have £100 cash back at the moment (in the UK) at least maing the pro9000 a very reasonable £249 and the pro9500 £419. The heart says the 9500 but I have a feeling Mrs Danny will say the 9000.

Ali Abdel Hafeez, who left the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood last year created a new storm of controversy by labeling Islamist movements as "perversions" whose existance only leads to divisons rather than solutions. "Islamist movements, " he told the Daily Star, "are perversions that stunt creativity and growth." He argues a basic problem with groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood is they consume energy into arguing about which group truly represents the Islmaic faith and spirit instead of actually doing anything to improve the lives of people. Hafeez believe democracy is the solution and when organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood attempt to portray themselves as the only coveyer of the Islamic faith the result is talk rather than action. He poses a simple question: If the Brotherhood has appropriated itself as the sole carrier of the Islamic banner, where did that leave other Muslims?
Hafeez is creating his own group, the Alternative Movement, which most probably will not be accepted by most Muslims and will spend its energy in talk and protest. But, he raises an interesting question, why isn't the Muslim Brotherhood the Egptian Brotherhood? Hafeez believes a major problem in the Muslim world is spending time attacking the West instead of recognizing the strengths of western government which have gained the allegiance of most people in their society. Instead of "judging them and berating them, we should learn from them," he says.
Hafeez rasies some serious questions about too many Muslim societies. He notes the Muslim Brotherhood spends a great deal of time worrying how many times a person prays each day instead of worrying how to create a modern vibrant society that meets the economic and political needs of people.

Apparel Blowout
I had a little apparel blowout myself the other day. A bit too much Panang Curry at the lunch buffet if you know what I mean. Oh, that's not what we're talking about? We're talking about a blowout sale? My bad! But this is good news for me. I need to... um... buy some new shorts.

Solid Informative Entry to Data Analysis
By Jason
from Washington, DC
Having gone to school just before "data science" became a widespread thing, I had training in a variety of "quantitative analysis" techniques but not the field of "data analytics."I professionally used simulation models and statistical analysis as a consultant, and was well aware of the growing technique library in the "data analysis" field, but generally still referred to myelf as a "quant" (quantitative analyst).This book served as an excellent way to tie my peripheral knowledge of different techniques and the "jargon" of data analytics in to a coherent whole. Although I was familiar with many of the terms and techniques, I'm much more confident in my ability to select, describe, and justify individual analytic techniques in a project context now.I recommend this text to anybody who comes in to contact with data analytics. In particular, the discussions of how and why to select particular models, and the pitfalls of analysis like overfitting, are excellent material for a wide variety of business positions, as are the appendices challenging the reader to evaluate data analytics proposals.
Perfect survey for non-specialists.

About Me Designer, Developer, Maker
I carry this book with me all the time, and I read it any time I have a spare moment. I am a CTO in a data analytics company and I find myself frequently in the need of explaining how and where data analytics can help businesses. I also find the need to inspire myself with some interesting applications that I did not have chance to try out yet. This book gives me both.The book has a rare computational, mathematical, and business depth that will satisfy both a computer scientist and a business person with a curious mind.

Insight into any world
By ~ icp
from New York, NY
About Me Sales, Sales Executive
I came across this book when preparing to interview for a sales position at a marketing technology company whose product relies on collecting, interpreting and making data actionable. It took less than a couple of hours to find myself immersed in real, recognizable stories, set as examples of data science's ability to reimagine the synthesis of a problem and present a hidden-from-plain-sight answer. Shortly afterward, I was introduced to the fundamental principles of data science, which expanded my analytical thinking, giving it multidimensionality and an understanding of how to expose a problem's solution, whether in business, the arts, social science, or life itself. In a world where an ever-increasing amount of actions and interactions are collected and stored in readily available data sets, those who master the analytical thinking to mine them will attain a significant competitive advantage.
Great Book
By Andrew G
from Colorado
The future of computers is with data. But what do you need to know. This is a great overview of the field. It is perfect for helping a business person understand the terminology and processes involved in machine learning, statistical analysis, data mining, and the general data driven business plan. This book is also perfect for someone interested in computer science, but needing the complexities placed into some form of organization that will better help them decide what they want to focus on (or in what order). LEVEL: Beginner - Intermediate computer science OR ANY LEVEL Business Professional.In short, I believe that this is one of the core fields that everyone should have knowledge about, and this book does a great job of covering what data science is and how it is used.

I had high expectations for this book. It's a part of the data science toolkit offered by O'Reilly and I own a majority of those books in that kit. I was disappointed at the 1.) scope of the book, 2.) depth of the book and 3.) applications towards business.Scope: I've read the Programming Collective Intelligence book, Machine Learning for Hackers and a few others so I'm aware of the breadth of topics the authors could have chosen. However, their supervised and unsupervised methods were really limited to: classification problems (Decision Trees, Clustering), Expected Value (very useful) and model evaluation. They only mention linear regression in passing. Maybe they considered it too basic, but I have to imagine predicting a value is more frequently done than classification problems.Depth: With the narrow focus they did explain the concepts of k-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, and Expected value VERY well but there's no code and the bibliography is not sorted by chapters so it's harder to identify where you should go next. Had the authors at least done pseudo-code I would have appreciated the effort. It would still have been appropriate for managers who need to know the basics of these advanced analytical techniques.Business: This peeved me the most. There were only two real "applications" / examples used that were related towards business - Churn of wireless phone customers and targeted advertising. I feel like the "for business" portion of the title set the expectation too high.However, if you need to get a general understanding of decision trees, clustering and "expected value" of targeted advertisements, this is a good book. I can definitely see a person with zero analytics experience but having to manage a team of advanced analysts would definitely benefit from this book - little math but great explanations (for the topics that are discussed). In addition, I could see this book as being supplemental to a high-level database marketing class (i.e. one that doesn't go into the math of the algorithms but just runs the procedures and interprets the results).Bottom Line: Not deep enough to start doing the analyses and not enough examples of real business applications to generate many new ideas for your own work.
Introduction to data science

About Me Designer, Educator
"Data Science for Business" is extremely well written for data scientists. It identifies a small set of fundamental principles underlying data science. By walking you through these fundamentals, you can easily understand many well-known data mining algorithms. A broad set of practical data analytic skills based on real world applications introduced can help you perform data analytics effectively. Overall, it is broad, deep, but not too technical. Readers do not need sophisticated mathematics and statistics background to understand the concepts and methodologies in data science.

About Me Developer, Maker
It's a great textbook that clearly tells the underlaying concepts of data analysis approaches, without making you scared or feel incapable. Only the basic equations are given if they're really necessary throughout the book, which makes you comfortable reading the book. Also this helps you to read the book uninterrupted, which also keeps you motivated during the chapters. I wanted to learn the fundamental concepts many times from different sources (books, tutorials, MOOCs) but this book is the best among them. I actually use many of the approaches mentioned in the book but after finishing the book that I feel that I've really understood and digested the concepts.I've already started to suggest this book to my friends and colleagues, and strongly recommend for anyone interested in learning the background of data analysis approaches.

I have some land that I am going to be able to hunt this next season. It's a backwater off the Mississippi River. My question: Is the Mississippi River a main flyway for teal? I plan to scout the area in the next couple days. I know it has 3 sloughs that keep water in them that run through it. Would this be early season blue wing teal habitat? I looked on the Internet until 2 lastnight and couldn't come up with an answer, so I decided I'd come here. Not Internet scouting. Just wondering if this is the right habitat.
Thanks semo


text: The ending of the game wiped out a lot of good memories from this one. That was one of the worse defended end of game plays that I have ever seen. Gordon followed that up by dribbling out the clock which was good because he was unconscious offensively and might have scored had he thrown up a shot. I'm surprised to see people praising CG. I thought he was horrid. The only odd move I thought Kuester made was in the 3rd when he went with the Twin Flowers of Daye and Charles Villanueva instead of Max. I thought Max had played well in the 1st half. This is 2 games in a row that a bunch of guys played well. Monroe could have gotten some run when CG picked up his 3rd foul in the 1st half. Serge Ibaka tweets in 3 languages!!! I missed Special K. He does a great job on the games. I think I am down with sitting Daye. If that means starting Villanueva then so be it. It's only a matter of time before Joe trades for a big so how bad can it be. Stuckey really did play well tonight. Entertaining game. Tough loss. Both nights.

Hi Lucy
I'm about to begin my first assignment teaching English to 15/16 year old Russian teenagers at an Easter camp. Classes will be every morning for one hour for approximately two weeks. The emphasis is on fun and although I do have a course book, I believe we are free to do our own stuff as well. It's some time since I did my CELTA and I've had no experience teaching teens. Can you offer any tips or hints? Also, I need to come up with some "getting to know you" activities. Can you recommend some good ones? I believe they are pre-intermediate to intermediate.
Many thanks

Weekly Beauty Challenge: Your First Sephora Visit
The year was 1998. The place: San Francisco. I had just graduated from high school and was doing some shopping during a visit to the city before heading off to college. That's when I saw it: (cue heavens parting) My very first Sephora. It was magical, and my life would never be the same (quite literally, since I now work here ).
For today's beauty challenge, let's reminisce. Do you remember your first Sephora visit? Where was it? How old were you? What did you buy? (Did you pass out from excitement?) Show & Tell!
I was 24 & I had a friend who worked there. I wasn't big into make-up or skincare yet. I was looking for a moisturizer and she suggested Korres Wild Rose line. I've been a fan of their line ever since! Since then, I've made countless trips to Sephora! I swear I'm almost there weekly....gotta keep an eye out for new products
I don't remember exactly how old I was....I think I was around 18 but I remember being sooooo overwhelmed by all the products and lines and now I cant wait for new things to come out so I can try them!
BUT I do remember my first item from Sephora---UD Ammo Palette. My mom bought it for me, and I'm on my second one now
I was 19 when I first step into my Sephora. I remember walking in and didn't know where to start looking. SO many products and my first purchase was the 3 step skincare from Clinique, my first make product was the Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation. I also signed up for BI that day as well. I can't imagine what it would be like without a Sephora.
Oh my goodness!! Loving this!! I was 16!!! I had never heard of Sephora and as soon as i saw the sign up in my local JCP i was just like what is that and my sister told me it was a makeup store i was intrigued!! So on the grand opening i skipped school that morning! Lol, with my moms permission cause i just had to check out the grand opening!!! I got a little sample bag and was so excited!! I think i purchased an eyeliner!! I don't remember if it was Kat Von D or Urban Decay! But i was just completely blown away because i had just gotten into makeup. And ever since then the only place i ever buy skincare or makeup from is Sephora!! I was a huge awesome experience for me!!
I can't remember when it was- but it was early high school for me (96-98). My mother and I went in and she was immediately turned off by the prices (what can I say, she buys CoverGirl. With a coupon. Yes, I buy her Chanel. ), but I was completely overwhelmed. If I remember correctly, the store was silver and black- not white and black! That store no longer is there *sniff*.
My first Sephora experience was about three years ago when it opened in a local mall. I had never heard of Sephora before that. In fact, one of my co-workers told me about it; otherwise, I probably wouldn't have even gone in. I wore make-up, but wasn't really into it. Now that I know about Sephora, I really enjoy make-up a lot more. I don't remember what I bought; and no, I'm not sharing my age!
I was only 18 a high school senior when I first walked into a Sephora store with my bestie... We were both like kids in a candy store we spent over an hour checking everything and playing with all the makeup....My first purchase was the Aqualino Pink Sugar Deodorant. ..omg that is still to date my fav deodorant too bad Sephora stopped carrying it... but since that day Ive been a Sephora girl
I remember very clearly! I was about 14/15 and I went in to buy the UDPP. Which I loved then. Now not so much. But I do remember being so happy with my first purchase at Sephora! And that was when the makeup addiction began
I was 13, I was actually on a school trip in Portugal. I had never heard of Sephora but some other girls wanted to go into the store, I ended up getting a Sephora Collection shimmery peach eye shadow. A couple months later a Sephora opened nearby me, and I've been obsessed since!
My first trip to Sephora was about 15 years ago when I was....15 years younger.
I was on a "Sister's Weekend" in Chicago and we were walking past the store on Michigan Avenue. I had been reading in Oprah magazine about the Shu Uemura eyelash curler and thought it looked like the perfect place to buy one (and i did!). After that, we have worked in a visit to Sephora on every semi-yearly trip to this day. Memphis, Louisville, Kansas City, St. Louis and Cleveland! I also got lucky and one was opened at a Mall a mile or so from my house!
i haven't been to any Sephora store since i live here in the Philippines. but i am checking the sephora website daily. one of my ultimate dream is to go to the US and stay all day in a Sephora store. i'd literally swatch everything if given the chance.
I Remember it like it was yesterday I was 17 & well actually my first Sephora visit was two days ago, On 6/15/13 My sister got me a $50 gift card for my birthday so I went online to Sephora and went crazy reading Kat Von D Lock it Tattoo foundation reviews even searched up YouTube videos finally I convince my mom to take me to the mall and this very nice young lady helped me find my perfect shade and I got Microsmooth Foundation Face Powder and when they are combined together it's magical and they gave me this cute little mascara and creme bronzer for free as a birthday gift both sample size but will definitely last and all great products!
I am ashamed to admit that I don't really remember my first Sephora visit . I do remember my first purchase though! A Too Faced palette and a rosebud salve using a gift card that I got when I was around 14 or 15 .
I must have been in the earlier part of high school, my friend worked for Sephora and raved about it the place because he knew I loved art and said how it was like an art haven, but for the face! My first time there I can't really recall, but I did walk out with Urban Decay's eye shadow in Vert (sadly discontinued now, but I stocked up before it went bye bye) and Stila's Major Lash mascara (the original was about $10 and it was my first "high end" mascara).
From there I branched into Bourjois' products and Laura Mercier lipsticks, Sparkling Pink (formly Pink Champagne) is still my staple color to this day!
I don't remember my first in-store visit other than that it was just a few years ago when we got our first Sephora inside JCP.
I do remember my first online order though! It would've been about 8 years ago I think. That was back when free shipping was on $75 and the black and white striped gift box came free with every order. I ordered a NARS Orgasm gift set with the blush and gloss and I can't recall what else. Now that's going to bug me. I'm going to check my order history to see if it goes back that far.
@kalex - If order history went back longer than two years I'd be soooo traumatized. Do I need to know quite how much of my paycheck I've give back? lol
My first sephora visit I was at a mall with my best friend a couple hours from home. We had went to a concert the night before and planned a shopping day for the day after before going home. She told me we HAD to go to sephora.. and I was like what is sephora?!
I was so overwhelmed with my first experience that I only bought an eyeshadow from the sephora collection. I used it SO much and I ran out, so I repurchased it. I still have it now. It's number 52 Hawaiian Beach. I don't reach for it much anymore since my collection has grown so much, but stepping into sephora definitely made me a makeup junkie. I barely used makeup before sephora. I just had a little tiny makeup bag with foundation that for sure did not suit my skin type from the drugstore, probably almay, a powder that looked cakey on top of the foundation, and an eyeshadow palette that I didn't know how to use, and a mascara tube.
I seriously didn't know anything about makeup before sephora.. thank god I discovered it in high school!!
In HS when I was around 14/15. I fell absolutely in love. I didn't make my first purchase until a couple years later. Kat Von D's brush set plus her palettes in Ludwig and Beethoven (still one of my favorites, sadly I only have 4 shades left).
I don't remember my first visit to an actual store but I think my very first purchase was the urban decay eyeshadow in blunt-- that is still one of my favorites today!
It was in Portland, at the same store I still go to. I was 11 or 12, and my mom must have spent $150 on my first makeup ever. I had so much fun and didn't realize how valuable the makeup actually was until I was about 15 or 16 and really got into it. I remember getting this brown little smashbox box thing, and it had a little drawer with blush and a flip top with eyeshadows. I still have it I think, and the blush is gone because it was SO perfect on me.

Jacksonville, Fla. • Andy Dalton, A.J. Green and a stingy defense spoiled what was supposed to be a celebratory day for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Jaguars 27-10 Sunday for their third consecutive win.
Dalton and Green burned Jacksonville several times, including once to set up a second-quarter touchdown and again for a fourth-quarter score.
The Bengals (3-1) finished with six sacks, putting constant pressure on Blaine Gabbert and overcoming all those defensive injuries.
Cincinnati played without starting cornerbacks Nate Clements and Leon Hall as well as backups Jason Allen and Dre Kirkpatrick.
The Jaguars (1-3) failed to take advantage.
Gabbert completed 23 of 34 passes for 186 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He was clearly outplayed by fellow second-year quarterback Dalton, who completed 20 of 31 passes for 244 yards.
Dalton, Green (six catches for 117 yards) and the defense ruined Jacksonville's "Alumni Weekend," which featured Fred Taylor's induction into the team's ring of honor.
It also was the franchise's final home game wearing teal as its primary jersey color.
After that performance, the Jaguars might want to burn those tops.
More than 30 former Jaguars, including Kyle Brady, Mark Brunell, Fernando Bryant, Donovin Darius, Mike Hollis, Keenan McCardell and Marcus Stroud, were on hand for Taylor's induction.
They left disappointed.
Midway through the fourth quarter, and with heavy rain starting to fall, most of the home crowd already had hit the exits, too.
The Bengals outgained Jacksonville 382-212.
The Jaguars got off to a terrible start for the second consecutive week. They trailed 14-3 last week at Indianapolis before Maurice Jones-Drew dug them out of the hole.
This time, they were down 17-7 at halftime thanks to missed opportunities, a huge special teams error and the first of several Dalton-to-Green passes.
Linebacker Kyle Bosworth intercepted Dalton's first pass of the game and was headed toward the end zone when he fumbled without being touched.
The Bengals got the ball back and put together a 74-yard drive that ended in a field goal.
Jacksonville's Rashean Mathis also dropped what could have been an easy interception on the drive. On the ensuing third down play, rookie Antwon Blake was flagged for hitting Dalton low after a pass. So instead of punting, Cincinnati kept driving.
The Jaguars responded and took a 7-3 lead on Gabbert's 2-yard TD pass to Marcedes Lewis. Jacksonville's defense responded with consecutive stops, but then Bengals coach Marvin Lewis used a fake punt to turn the momentum.
Cedric Peerman took the direct snap and gained 48 yards. Dalton found Chris Pressley for a 1-yard score and a 10-7 lead a few plays later.
Dalton found Green for a 42-yard gain on Cincinnati's next drive, a perfectly thrown ball over Mathis that set up Dalton's 1-yard plunge just before halftime.
Clearly, the Bengals figured out something there because Dalton and Green hooked up several more times in the second half.
Cincinnati looked as if it would seal the victory early in the third, but BenJarvus Green-Ellis fumbled at the goal line, and the Jaguars recovered. Gabbert was sharp on the ensuing drive, but Jacksonville settled for a field goal. Dalton connected with Green for an 18-yard score on the third play of the fourth quarter, giving the Bengals plenty of cushion against Jacksonville's struggling offense. Bengals-Jaguars Stats

Coming off the NCAA Quarterfinals, the field has been trimmed to two remaining Tewaaraton finalists on the men's side. That may seem like an incredibly thin number for an award that's reputedly postseason-leaning, but in 2010 and 2011, only three of 10 finalists played on Memorial Day Weekend (Stanwick last year and Clausen and Crotty the year prior). Only in the award's inaugural year has the winner not played in the title game — Doug Shanahan with Hofstra in 2001.
CJ Costabile, LSM, Sr, Duke (6G, 4A, 136GB, 53%F/O in 19 games)
Costabile is the odds-on favorite because he's coming off the weekend's best winning performance and his Blue Devils look increasingly difficult to beat. On the broadcast of Duke's 18-5 win over Colgate, Quint Kessenich made the point that Costabile is neither a top six offensive or defensive player for the Blue Devils (though the thought that he's not a top six defensive player is likely impacted by his value in transition and facing off). It's an interesting comment in the context of "a defensive player has never won the Tewaaraton." If Costabile does what Brodie Merrill, Joel White, John Galloway and Trevor Tierney didn't, it'll be an interesting manifestation of Charles Woodson being the only defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy because so much of his resume included he he was able to do on special teams — the same of which is true for Costabile.
Mike Sawyer, A, Jr, Loyola (51G, 8A in 17 games)
Some around the sport believe that even if Loyola wins the national championship, Sawyer isn't a lock for the Tewaaraton and needs have a good showing in order to lock it up even were the Greyhounds to win on Monday. That sentiment is at least partly because Sawyer dropped just one goal on nine shots, though Denver coach Bill Tierney said postgame his team's strategy was to try and completely limit Sawyer's looks, to the benefit of lefty attackman Eric Lusby, who finished with five goals and two assists (and, in so doing, passed Sawyer as Loyola's leading scorer).
Steele Stanwick, A, Sr, Virginia (21G, 59A in 16 games)
Stanwick finished the season with 80 points, including a 2 and 5 in his final college game, a loss to Notre Dame Sunday in the Quarterfinals. Most talking heads/pundits/professional lacrosse analysts commented that Stanwick played a nice game against a daunting Notre Dame defense, and perhaps the most telling compliment to Stanwick is that, despite his team trailing by four late in a game in which they'd only scored eight goals, the Cavaliers weren't out of it because of Stanwick (going back to his Loyola Blakefield days) and his team's reputation for clutch heroics. Add to that his point totals exceed last season's Tewaaraton-winning resume by 10 points, and it's not out of the question that Stanwick could garner consideration and votes.
Peter Baum, A, Jr, Colgate (67G, 30A in 18 games)
Limited to one goal in his final game against Duke Sunday, Baum fell just short of the lofty 100-point barrier, finishing with 97. His productivity, first against UMass and then against Duke, was well behind his season averages, but Baum made a good impression on fans, analysts and coaches that hadn't seen much of because of how he demonstrated his athleticism and how he put pressure on opposing defenses. And as the nation's leading scorer, he's deserving of consideration down the stretch, as well.
Will Manny, A, Jr, UMass (44G, 33A in 16 games)
Manny's season came to an end via a first round loss to Colgate in which he put up one goal and one assist. Manny's speed and dodging ability was on display for an ESPNU audience, and his Minutemen's 15-1 finish surpassed pretty much every published preseason expectation for UMass. Still, as a junior without the highest point totals on the team eliminated first among Tewaaraton finalists, it's hard to imagine Manny bringing home the trophy.

The ongoing problems encountered by Pope Benedict are raising serious concerns within the Vatican where an increasing number of leaders believe the Pope is being overwhelmed by the demands of the modern world and of its issues. After encountering serious public relations problems with his gaffe in allowing a priest who is a Holocaust denier to return to the church, the Pope raised a new furor while on an African tour. He told Africans who are suffering from huge problems with AID that use of condoms only "aggravates the problems." Many Catholic priests in Africa have quietly been allowing their parishoners to use condoms in an effort to deal with the rapidly spreading problem of infection. Many priests believe the Pope is out of touch with modern problems and his nonstop gaffes are creating a public relations disaster for the Catholic Churh.
Frances Rocca, the Vatican reporter for the Religious News Service, believes that historically the Vatican could retreat into silence when problems arose, but now "the Internet and the blogoshpere won't wait for the Vatican so the message gets swamped." There is probably need for the Vatican to bring in priests who are familiar with modern technology.
