Raul Ibanez woke up a silent Yankee Stadium in the ninth inning, then made it erupt in the 12th.
Ibanez, pinch-hitting for a struggling Alex Rodriguez in the ninth, tied the game with a solo homer off Jim Johnson and three innings later sent a Brian Matusz offering into the second deck in right field to give the New York Yankees a wild 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
The dramatic turnaround gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the American League Division Series after the clubs split a pair in Baltimore.
The Orioles had won an unfathomable 16 straight extra-inning games and had not suffered a walk-off loss all season.
Now, they are on the brink of elimination.
"One pitch, that's the world we live in," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
The AL East-champion Yankees have a chance to close out the best-of-five set on Thursday with Phil Hughes on the mound opposite Joe Saunders.
"Joe is a guy that gives you a chance to win, and he'll compete, and he knows we feel good with him out there," said Showalter, who chose Saunders to start over Chris Tillman.
Baltimore was 29-9 in one-run games during the regular season and eked out a 3-2 win to even the series on Monday. Another close victory was two outs away when Rodriguez's spot in the order came up in the ninth.
Rodriguez, 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts in the series, did not make it out of the dugout.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi inserted the veteran Ibanez, who had 19 of New York's franchise-record 245 home runs in the regular season. Johnson, the losing pitcher in Game 1, grooved a 94-m.p.h. fastball in Ibanez's wheelhouse, and one of the suddenly-rowdy fans in right-center was given a memorable souvenir.
"I just had a gut feeling," Girardi said on his decision to pinch-hit Ibanez. "You've got a left-handed hitter who's a low ball hitter in a sense and you've got a low ball pitcher. I just kind of had a gut feeling."
Matusz (0-1) also caught took much of the plate with his first pitch in the 12th, and Ibanez hammered it into the second deck to put an exclamation point on his heroic night.
"I don't even remember what happened. It was kind of a blur," Ibanez admitted. "I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit."
It was the first time in MLB history a player hit two homers in a postseason game with both coming in the ninth inning or later.
David Robertson (1-0) hurled two innings of relief to earn the win, allowing only one hit when he and Mark Teixeira failed to communicate on a pop up.
Derek Jeter went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, but exited in the ninth inning with a bone bruise he suffered when he fouled a pitch off his left foot early in the game. Girardi listed the future Hall-of-Fame shortstop as day-to-day.
Johnson's blown save spoiled a stellar start by Miguel Gonzalez, who shut down New York's vaunted lineup over seven innings, giving up just one run on five hits with no walks and eight strikeouts.
Hiroki Kuroda was nearly as effective in his outing, allowing five hits and two runs -- on homers by rookies Ryan Flaherty and Manny Machado -- over 8 1/3 innings.
The only legitimate hit the Orioles recorded off the Yankees bullpen came in the 10th. Robert Andino opened with a single off Rafael Soriano, and a sacrifice bunt moved the runner into scoring position. Nate McLouth followed with a sharp comebacker through the middle, but Jayson Nix, filling in for the injured Jeter, snagged the liner and stepped on the bag to double off Andino.
Gonzalez, a 28-year-old rookie from Mexico, beat the Yankees in two starts in the Bronx during the regular season and was in line for another win thanks to allowing just three at-bats with runners in scoring position.
All those chances came in the third when Russell Martin doubled with one away. After a groundout, Jeter fisted a fly ball to center field that kept drifting away from Adam Jones. The usually sure-handed Jones couldn't catch up with it on the warning track, and Jeter legged out a triple despite being hobbled.
Martin's run tied things after Flaherty, a Rule 5 Draftee last year, sent a first-pitch curveball over the right-field wall in the top half.
Machado, who became the youngest Oriole to record a postseason hit at 20 years old in Friday's Wild Card win against the Rangers, added to his young postseason resume in the fifth when he took a hanging breaking ball over the wall in left-center and into a delighted Baltimore bullpen.
Flaherty and Machado are the first pair of rookie teammates to homer in the same postseason game in MLB history.
Game Notes
The Yankees have lost their last three ALDS after splitting the first two games ... New York was a Major League-best 51-30 at home in the regular season, but had lost all three series to the Orioles ... New York was 1-58 in the regular season when trailing after eight innings ... Baltimore was 74-0 when leading after seven innings ... Johnson, the MLB leader in saves (51), has already allowed two homers in the series after serving up three in 68 2/3 innings during the regular season ... All three of the Orioles' extra-inning losses this year have come against New York.

The word "glagolitic" is defined as an adjective meaning "of, relating to, or denoting a Slavic alphabet whose invention is attributed to Saint Cyril, preserved only in certain Roman Catholic liturgical books found in Dalmatia" [C19: from New Latin 'glagoliticus', from Serbo-Croat 'glagolica' the Glagolitic alphabet; related to Old Church Slavonic 'glagolŭ' word].
The text is in Old Church Slavonic, with five vocal movements that correspond to the Catholic Ordinary of the Mass, omitting "Dona nobis pacem" in the Agnus Dei. The musical origins of the work can be traced to Janáček's Latin setting of the Kyrie, Agnus Dei, and Credo for organ and chorus. This was used as a dictation exercise by his composition students in 1908.
Janáček had extensive experience working with choirs, as well as writing a large amount of choral music, and this work is his finest in the genre. It begins and closes with triumphant fanfares dominated by the brass. In between these sections lies particularly vibrant and rhythmic writing for solo voices as well as choir. Before the closing Intrada, Janáček introduces a dramatic organ solo of considerable originality – a perpetuo moto of wild energy. Janáček's Glagolitic Mass is considered one of the century's masterworks and is frequently performed and recorded today.
Janáček was a strong supporter of pan-Slavism, and this mass has been viewed as a celebration of Slavic culture.

The 2DECOMP&FFT library is a software framework in Fortran to build large-scale parallel applications. It is designed for applications using three-dimensional structured mesh and spatially implicit numerical algorithms. At the foundation, it implements a general-purpose 2D pencil decomposition for data distribution on distributed-memory platforms. On top, it provides a highly scalable and efficient interface to perform three-dimensional distributed FFTs.
Impulse is a bit of eye candy for your desktop. It is a widget that displays a graphical spectrum analyzer on your GNOME desktop. It is written in C and Python, and uses GTK and Cairo graphics to generate the animation. The impulse library creates a pulse audio connection context that reads the output stream from pulseaudio in a thread natively, which can then be read from Python. You can instruct impulse to either output the raw stream or output the FFT of the raw stream.
Meta.Numerics is a Mono-compatible .NET library for scientific and numerical programming. It includes functionality for matrix algebra (including SVD, non-symmetric eigensystems, and sparse matrices), special functions of real and complex numbers (including Bessel functions and the complex error function), statistics and data analysis (including PCA, logistic and nonlinear regression, statistical tests, and nonuniform random deviates), and signal processing (including arbitrary-length FFTs).
PFFFT is a very small 1D Fast Fourier Transform library based on the venerable FFTPACK v4. It handles single precision real and complex transforms. Computations take advantage of SSE1 instructions on x86, Altivec on PowerPC, and NEON on ARM, allowing it to achieve a performance level that is not too far from the very best FFTs (FFTW, Intel MKL, Apple vDSP).

Finally - after a few weeks, HTC has actually officially issued a statement regarding the patent infringement lawsuit Apple has thrown towards the Taiwanese phone maker. As you probably already anticipated, HTC states it will fully defend itself against Apple. It's on, it's on.

RE: I would have liked to also see
by lemur2 on Fri 19th Mar 2010 01:21 UTC in reply to "I would have liked to also see"
I know a great deal of the readers on this site don't like patents and think of any company that enforces them is the evil... but keep in mind that HTC will be using their patent portfolio as their defense. This means that any advocacy of one over the other in this case is simply fanboyism.
The fact that Apple has some patents granted by the USPTO most emphatically does not mean that this is Apples technology. Most places do not have software patents, it is only the US where this madness has got out of hand.
So I passionately disagree with you here. It is a perfectly valid response for anyone accused of "stealing" the technology that they have laboriously implemented in their products to respond with a patent retaliation of their own. Just because of an insane out-of-control madness in the USPTO does not mean there is any "justice" on Apple's part here.
In fact, I would encourage HTC to join the OIN and the Patent Commons organistations, and call in legal help from the Linux Foundation and from Google, and hit Apple with an absolute boatload of counter-claims.
Joining the OIN worked for TomTom. Microsoft's campaign against TomTom was history within a few days after TomTom joined the OIN.

Money Involved: Undisclosed
Why It Matters: It's a small acquisition, but one that speaks volumes about LifeSize's mobility plans. LifeSize parent Logitech picked up Mirial, a Milan, Italy-based mobile video specialist, in mid-July, announcing the acquisition the same day LifeSize debuted a cloud-based HD videoconferencing service. With video conferencing headed to the cloud -- and video management becoming a lucrative service-option for networking VARs and managed services players -- LifeSize appears to be adapting its strategy to reflect those trends. Given LifeSize's favor among channel partners, it's not surprisingly been a well-received move.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio lawmakers have passed a bipartisan measure aimed at preventing youth drug abuse by requiring a guardian's consent before a minor is prescribed painkillers.
The bill also would limit supplies of painkillers to minors to three days when another adult authorized by a minor's parent or guardian, such as a grandparent, gives the required consent. The parent or guardian would still be required to eventually sign the consent form.
The bill was co-sponsored by Republican Rep. Stephanie Kunze, from the Columbus suburb of Hilliard. She has said the issue caught her attention when she learned about a girl who was prescribed addictive painkillers without parental consent and later abused the drugs.
A spokesman for Gov. John Kasich says he plans to sign it.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Genomma Lab Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Genomma") (BMV: LAB.B.) today announced that it has submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. ("Prestige") (NYSE: PBH) common stock for $16.60 dollars per share in cash. The transaction is valued at approximately $834 million dollars, not including Prestige's net debt.
Genomma's all-cash proposal represents a premium of 23% over Prestige Brand closing stock price on February 17, 2012 and a 47% premium over the three month historical average of Prestige's share price, both as of February 17, 2012.
Genomma noted that its Board of Directors unanimously supports this proposal. Among other matters, this proposal is subject to confirmatory due diligence and the negotiation of definitive documentation, as well as receipt of customary corporate and regulatory approvals.
Genomma has delivered its proposal to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Prestige. Below is the text of the letter that was sent today to Prestige:
Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc.
90 North Broadway
Irvington, New York 10533
Attention: Matthew M. Mannelly
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
February 21, 2012
Dear Mr. Mannelly:
As I have explained to your advisors, Genomma Lab Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V.'s ("Genomma") is proposing to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. ("Prestige") at a price of $16.60 dollars per share in cash. Our goal is to work with you to agree to a negotiated transaction. However, due to the unique opportunity presented by our proposal for your shareholders to realize full and immediate value, we have decided to make this proposal known to your shareholders. Consequently, we are making this letter public simultaneously with my sending it to you.We believe that a combination of Prestige and Genomma presents an exciting opportunity to create significant value for our respective shareholders, employees, business partners and other constituencies. Our offer price of $16.60 dollars per share in cash represents the highest price that the stock has reached since June 2005. A substantial premium to Prestige Brand unaffected market prices of 23% over Prestige Brands closing stock price on February 17, 2012, and a 47% premium over the three month historical average of Prestige's share price of February 17, 2012.
We believe this is an extremely compelling offer with undeniable strategic and industrial logic, and we are confident that your stockholders will find it extremely attractive. We believe that bringing together our two highly complementary companies would create substantial value. As part of this uniquely compelling combination, Prestige would be well positioned to achieve higher growth than it could on a stand-alone basis.
Genomma is one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical and personal care products companies in the pharmaceutical and personal care products industry, and has an increasing international presence. We are involved in the development, sale and marketing of a wide variety of premium-branded products, many of which are leaders in their respective categories in terms of sales and market share. Genomma's common stock trades on the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores), under the symbol, LAB.B. Given our financial strength and the indications of interest we have received from various prominent international financial institutions to provide financial support, we do not anticipate that financing of the proposed transaction will be an issue. We expect that we will obtain the necessary financing for the proposed transaction in an expeditious manner.
We have a high regard for your operations, management and talented employees, and we are mindful that you and your management team have contributed greatly to Prestige's success. Genomma contemplates continued employment of Prestige's management and employees following the consummation of a transaction.
We are prepared to move quickly with the transaction with you and your advisers. We have already completed extensive analysis and due diligence of Prestige based on publicly available information. We are prepared to proceed expeditiously and, with your cooperation, believe we can be in position to announce a definitive agreement within two to three weeks. During that period we also would complete confirmatory due diligence and finalize our financing commitments. The proposed transaction will be subject to the approval of our shareholders and other customary closing conditions to be set forth in such definitive agreement. We believe that, with your cooperation, we will be able to expeditiously consummate the proposed transaction.
Our proposal has been approved unanimously by the Genomma board of directors. I want to emphasize to you and your board of directors our seriousness regarding this proposal and our commitment to a combination of Prestige and Genomma. We are convinced that this proposal is compelling for Prestige and its shareholders and provides a unique opportunity for Prestige's shareholders to realize full and immediate value for their shares. We also firmly believe that, given our approach to acquisitions, this transaction would be in the best interests of your employees and customers in which you operate.
Our strong preference is to work with you to negotiate a mutually acceptable transaction and avoid unnecessary costs. If you are willing to fully engage with us, we and our advisors are ready to meet with your representatives at any time to discuss this proposal and to answer any questions you have. We believe that time is of the essence and are prepared to move forward expeditiously by committing all necessary resources to complete a transaction promptly. We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Rodrigo Herrera Aspra

Pope Francis has given the go-ahead for John Paul II to be made a saint and granted a rare exception for the canonization of another predecessor, John XXIII, who had the same reformist views and personal touch as the current pontiff.
The announcements on Friday marked a historic day at the Vatican, which also issued an unprecedented text co-written by Francis and his living predecessor Benedict XVI in which the two popes said faith was a "common good" and called for dialogue with non-believers.
The Vatican said Francis gave his widely expected formal approval to a second miracle attributed to John Paul II (1978-2005) at a meeting with Cardinal Angelo Amato, head of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
The supposed miracle occurred to a woman in Costa Rica, the Vatican said, following media reports that she had been cured of a serious brain condition by praying for the late pope's intercession on the same day that he was beatified in 2011.
John Paul II was hugely popular among Catholics through his 27-year papacy, and helped topple Communism although he alienated many with his conservative views and was blamed for hushing up multiple scandals over pedophile priests.
At his funeral in 2005, crowds of mourners cried "Santo Subito!" — which roughly translates as "Sainthood Now!" — prompting the Vatican to speed up the path to sainthood, which normally begins five years after the death of the person in question.
Poland welcomed the decision to make Polish pontiff John Paul II a saint.
Father Jozef Kloch, spokesman for the Polish episcopate, described the news as "an immense joy," speaking on public radio.
"I think it's marvellous news that will bring joy to all Christians," Jesus Manuel, a Mexican monk, said in St Peter's Square after learning the news.
Referring to John Paul II, Calogero, an Italian trainee priest, said: "In the hearts of the faithful he is already a saint."
"The Church today is only confirming something that was already the case," he said.
In the case of John XXIII (1958-1963), Francis "approved the favorable votes" from the Congregation for the canonization even though no second miracle has been found, in a break with the usual procedure.
The long road to sainthood normally requires two "confirmed" miracles, the first of which is necessary for beatification, a hurdle the Polish pope cleared just six months after his death.
That was the healing of a French nun, Sister Marie Simon-Pierre, whose recovery from Parkinson's disease after praying for the late John Paul II's intercession apparently had no medical explanation.
The announcement on John XXIII was greeted with bells ringing out in a parish church in the village of Sotto Il Monte in northern Italy where he came from.
A consistory, a meeting of cardinals, will now be held to determine the exact date for the canonizations, but Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said they would take place "before the end of the year."
Nicknamed "The Good Pope," John XXIII made his name by calling the historic Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) which overhauled and modernized the Catholic Church's rituals and doctrines.
The current head of the Roman Catholic Church is often compared to John XXIII for his pastoral attitude, which contrasts with the more austere and academic style of Benedict XVI.
A religious text issued by the Vatican on Friday, however, showed that behind the differences in style there was continuity between Benedict and Francis.

Arsenal are being linked with a move for highly-rated Spanish international winger Jesus Navas.
The 26-year-old Sevilla star has spent almost a decade at the Ramon Sanches Pizjuan, making his debut in 2003 and amassing well over 300 appearances for the club.
However, financial difficulties could force the club to cash-in on the 21-cap international, and talkSPORT claims the news could lead Arsenal rekindling their interest in the player.
Valued in the region of £20 million, Los Rojiblancos may be forced to negotiate over the fee because of their current predicament, according to Radio Sevilla, meaning Gunners chief Arsene Wenger could capitalise on a cut-price deal.
"I'm happy at Sevilla but if an offer arrives, we'll see. You always want to improve," Navas is quoted as saying by talkSPORT.
Arsenal would hope for Navas to hit the ground running at the Emirates Stadium, if a transfer move was made in January, with the benchmark now set following Santi Cazorla's success in north London.
Different to the other wide options at Arsenal – Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho – Navas would offer some extra guile to the attack, alongside the raw pace currently at the manager's disposal.

Make no mistake.
But on Monday he also gave an endorsement of backup tackles Anthony Collins and
With the NFL Draft now 72 hours away, Whitworth took a look at a team that has basically replenished its depth by integrating the last two drafts with keeping around backup and role veterans like Collins and Roland.
"I really think we're at that point. This locker room has a lot of people who can play. There's not a whole lot of locker rooms that are always that way," Whitworth said. "We have guys who start and back up who are football players. Even though we want Andre back we do have two guys who started for us. We've got a deep locker room and that's a good feeling that gives you some confidence.
"Anthony and Roland prepare every week and every year like they're going to be the guy themselves also. If something happened to myself or Dre, they're always prepared to be in there and always ready. I think in any of those situations they would be ready again."
Collins, a fourth-round pick out of Kansas who is the last man standing from the Keith Rivers '08 draft class, had seven of his career 18 starts in 2009 when the club went 6-1. While the 6-5, 317-pound Collins is generally regarded as a better pass protector and not particularly stout in the run game, Whitworth reminds that the Bengals finished ninth in the NFL in rushing in 2009.
"In '09 we were one of the top running teams in the league and Anthony and Dennis were the tackles," Whitworth said. "That's one of those label things that people who don't know a whole lot about football label him. I'm pretty sure most of the games he's played in he's won, so he can't be too bad."
The Bengals are 11-7 when Collins starts, but he's taking the quiet way out. The speculation of Smith's contract status is suffocating the run-up to the draft with both sides playing a well-heeled game of chicken.
If the draft crop runs out before the Bengals pick at No. 21, do the Bengals get one later and play him, do they fan out into a limited free-agent crop, or do they have to go back to Smith? If the Bengals take a tackle at No. 21, that would no doubt lock Smith out of the one team that has shown interest in him publicly because the pick is going be in the fold for multiple years at the rookie wage scale.
Collins shrugged Monday.
"I didn't watch the draft when I got drafted, so no, I'll be too busy doing something else with my time," Collins said. "Probably spending time with family and friends.
"I'm keeping my head down, not causing any problems. When they're ready to play me, I'm going to play. Most definitely I have experience. On both sides. There's a lot of talent in this locker room. Whatever goes on upstairs and with the draft and the coaches and all that, whenever my number is called I'm ready to play."
Collins, 27, didn't always say the right things when he came out of school. He has butted heads with the coaches at times, but the club also didn't hesitate in re-upping him for two years before last season and he spoke Monday about the maturation process.
"I've definitely grown. I've definitely matured on and off the field," he said. "I take that real serious, to know that I am a lucky one still here, still here next to (left end Robert) Geathers, the same locker going into my sixth year. I'm truly blessed."
Collins says he had a lot of help from veterans that embraced him, particularly Whitworth. Collins is the only one that can call him "Big Stank," but he says he won't say why.
"That's private," he said with a laugh. "Whit and I go way back.
"I had a couple (of mentors). Levi Jones, Big Bobbie Williams, Whitworth, T.J. Houshmandzadeh. I had a couple of them that actually looked at me and said, 'You're something else, so I'm going to take you under my wing and show you the ropes.' These were top guys. These were starters. Guys that were making noise in the game of football at the professional level. So for them to say, 'Hey, I'm coming to pick you up. Take care of your body, start eating right, seeing how I live my life so you can follow behind me,' that was big love right there."
There are no indications that the Bengals are any closer to a contract with Smith. They appear stuck in a market that has dried up for right tackles after deals for Gosder Cherlius, Phil Loadholt and Sebastian Vollmer last month. According to SB Nation, the combined deals average $5.5 million per season and $10.3 million in guaranteed money. The top left tackles this offseason signed deals that average $7.4 million per season with $18.9 million guaranteed. The negotiations are probably mired somewhere with those numbers.
Now any right tackle in the draft is being linked to the Bengals at the slightest provocation. Pro Football Talk reported that on Monday the Bengals worked out Ohio State right tackle Reid Fragel and speculated it was done to move along the Smith negotiations. But Fragel wouldn't appear to interest the Bengals as an Opening Day starter, given that he's a converted tight end.
Meanwhile, Collins shrugs.
"I'm working on getting myself better," he said. "Playing ball. Keeping my head down."

Mid-Central Collegiate Conference Becomes Crossroads LeaguePublished: Jun 27, 2012
The Mid-Central Collegiate Conference, of which Taylor University has been a member for nearly 20 years, has become the Crossroads League. Crossroads League Commissioner J.D. Collins made the announcement today. The renaming caps a year-long process initiated by the league.
Collins initiated the rebranding effort last year to create a name and brand for the conference that that focused on league member institutions' distinctives: Midwest geographic location, faith-based missions and elite academic programs. Conference presidents endorsed the new name in April.
"Our League now communicates, both visually and through the name, all of the things our institutions hold dear; our unique faith, top-flight athletics, and our foundation in the Midwest", said Collins.
The Crossroads League is a ten-institution athletic conference in the NAIA and offers 15 year round sports throughout Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Member institutions include: Taylor University (Upland, Ind.), Bethel College (Mishawaka, Ind.); Goshen College (Goshen, Ind.); Grace College (Winona Lake, Ind.); Huntington University (Huntington, Ind.); Indiana Wesleyan University (Marion, Ind.); Marian University (Indianapolis, Ind.); Mount Vernon Nazarene University (Mount Vernon, Ohio); University of Saint Francis (Fort Wayne, Ind.); and Spring Arbor University (Spring Arbor, Mich.).
According to league officials, the conference was organized in 1959.

LEXINGTON, KY - University of Massachusetts Boston volleyball player Shannon Thompson (Moorpark, CA) has been named a First Team All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), it was announced last week by the AVCA. Thompson was honored and recognized at the NCAA Division III Volleyball Championship banquet in St. Louis, MO during last week's D-III Championship tournament celebrations.
Thompson is the first student-athlete in program history to earn First Team All-American honors after being named an AVCA All-American Honorable Mention last season. The two-time All-AVCA New England, honoree ranks among the national leaders in points per set (14th, 5.11) and kills per set (22nd, 4.09). Thompson finished the season with 494 kills to set the new UMass Boston single season kills record while also ranking first in total kills in the Little East Conference. She averaged 3.11 digs/g while recording a hitting percentage of .285. An explosive offensive threat, Thompson reached double figures in kills in 30 of her 35 matches, including posting at least 20 winners four times. She recorded a season-high 27 kills in a five-set victory at Little East foe UMass Dartmouth and 25 kills in the New England championship match vs. Springfield College. Thompson displayed her versatility by posting a conference-high 18 double-doubles for kills and digs. She recorded a season-best 21 digs against Hardin Simmons in the season-opener on Sept. 3. Over the season, the middle hitter was named the Little East Conference Offensive Player of the week five out of nine times the honor was bestowed. Thompson was named the 2010 LEC Most Outstanding Player of the Little East Volleyball Championship in helping UMass Boston capture its second consecutive LEC title as well as the Most Outstanding Player at the New England Regional Championship to help the Beacons advance to the NCAA Division III National Championship tournament for the first time in program history.
Thompson has already established herself as an outstanding player in UMB volleyball annals, being named a 2010 First Team AVCA All-American selection, a 2009 ACVA All-American Honorable Mention as well as a two-time All-Region selection from the AVCA and the New England Women's Volleyball Association last season. She currently ranks third in school history with 914 career kills, while placing second with a lifetime hitting mark of .308, second with 104 block assists, tied for fifth with 131 career aces and sixth with 75 solo blocks.
UMass Boston finished the greatest season in school history with a 30-5 record, including a 7-0 record to earn its second-consecutive regular season LEC title, before winning the LEC Tournament Championship for the second straight campaign with a 3-1 victory over Keene State College on November 6. The Beacons earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the second time in school annals and responded with a 3-0 first round victory over Maine Maritime Academy on November 12 and a 3-1 second round victory over Middlebury College on November 13 to advance to the Sweet 16 round for the first time in program history to face the New England regional hosts in Springfield College for the New England Regional Championship. In front of over 700 fans, the Beacons captured an epic championship match, 3-2 (25-16, 18-25, 25-21, 25-27, 15-11), to advance to the 2010 NCAA Division III Volleyball National Championship in St. Louis, MO where they fell in the Elite Eight to the eventual National Champions, Calvin College, 3-1. UMass Boston owned the number one ranking in the latest NCAA Division III New England Women's Volleyball poll and stood as the number one squad in the NCAA Division III NEWVA poll throughout much of the season. They also received attention in the national Division III poll throughout the season, receiving votes in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Poll with 29, 23, 28, 43, 32, 53, 19, 30, 10, 39 and 228 respectively, in 11 consecutive weeks from September 7 to November 23. During the week of October 12, UMass Boston cracked the AVCA Top 25 for the first time in program history, ranking 25th in the country. The Beacons were ranked 24th in the poll heading into the NCAA tournament and close the year with an overall ranking of 17th in the country, the program's highest ranking ever.
