Cheer for Vengeance in 'Big Bad Wolves' Trailer
During the final day of the inaugural Stanley Film Festival, I walked out of Sightseers and quickly made my way to the next big screen. Little did I know that my final movie would be the best I'd seen all weekend.
Heads up readers because that bad ass movie I'm talking about, now has a bad ass English subtitiled trailer and a US distributor in Magnet Releasing (known for V/H/S and Here Comes the Devil).
Check out Big Bad Wolves, directed by Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado of Kalevet (Rabies):
There could be speculation that this doesn't fall into the horror genre; we're used to blood, demons and puss. But the game is expanding. It's more mental, making skin crawl on an intellectual level using psychological games to ensnare an audience from beginning to end.
Wolves is that kind of tale. It's the story of a father who, with the help of a detective, interrogates a killer regarding the whereabouts of his daughter. Simple enough. Yet Keshales and Papushado construct this narrative in such a poetic and engrossing manner that to take a pee break is impossible.
A mix of family ties, humor, torture and wit Wolves (Official Selection winner at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival) will not be ignored and I can't wait to see it take the US by storm.

A well-recognized face in the mornings on The Weather Channel®, meteorologist Stephanie Abrams hosts "On the Radar" from 5-5:30 a.m. ET; co-hosts with Al Roker on "Wake Up With Al" weekday mornings from 5:30 - 7 a.m. ET; and joins hosts Mike Bettes and Maria LaRosa for the first hour of "Your Weather Today" from 7-8 a.m. ET. Each lively morning show mixes the day's forecast along with top news stories and celebrity interviews.
Since distinguishing herself while reporting live during the historic 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, Abrams continues to cover significant storms firsthand for The Weather Channel.
"Weather Proof," a series hosted by Abrams, debuted January 2010 and guided viewers through a collection of elaborate tests that fabricate severe weather scenarios to demonstrate how weather impacts real-life situations with meaningful findings and life-saving tips. This breakthrough series was the first program of its kind that experimented with the power of nature and how it affects people and property.
Previously, Abrams was a morning meteorologist at WTXL-TV in Tallahassee, FL. A native of Wellington, FL (near West Palm Beach), she graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in meteorology from Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL. She also earned a bachelor's degree in geography from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, where she graduated with honors and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In addition, she acquired a minor in mathematics.
Abrams is a member of the National Weather Association and the American Meteorology Society. She holds the AMS seal of approval and was president of the North Florida chapter of the AMS from 2002-2003.
When not reporting, Abrams enjoys camping, running and playing tennis, and taking every opportunity she can to travel near and far. She enjoys reading and listening to a variety of music - from cross-over country to rap. Born and raised in Florida, Abrams' favorite place is the beach.

Big Bad
Big Bad
welcome to the inner workings of my mind
so dark and foul i can't disguise
can't disguise
nights like this
i become afraid
of the darkness in my heart
3.02 vs. 3.07
erica's favorite pastime: scaring the shit out of stiles
Hmm, I've seen a lot of meta on the scene above floating around and I want to spit my own twist on it.
The point in question is: Why does Peter, who has already bitten Lydia and Scott without their permission and compromised their agency, choose to offer the Bite to Stiles? And then backs down when Stiles refuses.
Because of Scott.
Let me elaborate. Scott and Stiles are a package deal and Peter understands that. Scott has gotten turned into a werewolf, sucked into a murder mystery, and still has managed to keep his best friend at his side. Loyalty to those he chooses to give it to is a strong trait in Stiles, and a useful one in werewolf hierarchy, but Stiles' loyalty ultimately belongs to Scott. Thus if Peter had given Stiles the bite unwillingly, all he would do is give Scott another werewolf at his side.
We don't see until Season 2 what purpose it serves to bite Lydia, so we can presume Peter's main plan at this moment is to win over Scott's loyalty and enact revenge. Derek is easy to sway because he has family ties and soul weighing guilt over his whole family getting killed via Kate, thus making him an easy pawn for Peter to manipulate (and likely manipulate again in Season 3, perhaps). Scott, on the other hand, has a very strong sense of right vs. wrong and doesn't agree with Peter's methods. Even though Allison is his anchor, his mom and Stiles also serve as grounding points in humanity.
We see this in 1x11, where Peter goes out with Melissa, goes shopping with Allison, and lastly kidnaps Stiles. These are the three people most important to Scott and Peter displays dominance and control over the situation by approaching the first two as harmless (even though Scott knows he isn't) and using force on Stiles, who can't be swayed because he's already attacked Stiles and Stiles knows he's the Alpha. Gerard similarly does this in Season 2 by threatening Melissa, manipulating Allison, and taking Stiles after the game.
So why even bother with making a werewolf out of Stiles?
Because if Stiles chooses the bite freely, Peter has everything to gain. A werewolf!Stiles would weaken Scott's tie to humanity and because of how close there friendship is, I think it would tide over as another bond to bind Scott to Peter's pack. Even if Scott would be upset with Stiles for choosing to be a werewolf, ultimately I feel he wouldn't leave Stiles in Peter's clutches. The turn out eventually ends in Stiles swaying Scott into a neutral or on Peter's side or Scott remains opposed and Peter gains another Beta anyway.
And it's not that Stiles is more weak willed to give into Peter, but in general he remains a very grey character morally. He shows at many points in the series that he'd be ok with just doing away with a lot of characters (ex. Jackson, Derek) and actually contributed to the death of one (pre-zombie Peter). So if Peter again attempted a bonding kill with Stiles (probably Kate's death at this point) he would have succeeded in establishing himself as Stiles' Alpha.
Personally, I just think Peter missed his window because after nearly killing Scott in the school, nearly killing Stiles in the hospital, attacking Lydia, and killing his nurse, he's shown himself to be beyond the pale even to Stiles' lower moral standards. I think Season 1 Stiles would have chosen to be a werewolf before all that went down, despite the fact that Scott would have chosen never to be one. But I think we'll save the outcomes of that for another day.
I like this. Also in s1, this whole werewolf business was more of an adventure for him. I don't doubt he would have taken the bite earlier on too. He wanted to be part of the action, his hero moment. In s2, when it began to affect his dad, and him even more, I think he realized that not only did he not want this, but maybe he didn't even want to be a part of it at all, as shown in 2.11.

Summary: On her first full moon after season two, Erica comes to Scott for help. From the prompt: What happens when one werewolf loses his anchor and another can't find hers?
I'm actually pretty bummed this one's ended

Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Isaac Lahey/Scott McCall
Characters: Scott McCall, Isaac Lahey
On Scott's first date with Isaac, the boys run into a few dead ends and a few more scares.
I guess it's not a coincidence that they're by the same author
3. This little vampire!StilesxScott story by Dea, which I'm sure most of you have already seen.
Also, finally publishing something today. so.
Apparently it's okay to make a gifset compiling the many different ways people close to Scott (who should know better) have humiliated him in public and called him stupid or dumb (for things like confusing Greek Mythology no less) for the lolz (even though it's been shown in canon that not only is Scott actually smart but this has made him uncomfortable/unhappy). He's too stupid to get out of bed in the morning without Stiles amirite? It's amusing that a teacher uses this as an excuse to talk down his mother. Hilarious! What a potato! (Also if you call Scott/Tyler a potato, you're actually quite AWFUL fyi)
BUT! BUT! A gifset showing Stiles being indirectly called stupid by Harris (which is still not okay btw) cues all the tears and wailing because poor Stiles HE TRIES SO HARD (AND IS ACTUALLY REALLY INTELLIGENT AND GETS GOOD GRADES … WAIT WHAT) but this one asshole implied that he's stupid poor thing he must feel so insecure (when someone tells him something that isn't even true)! Why haven't they fired this man?! Stiles' self-esteem must be so.. so low, doing well in school and being told by everyone else how he's smart and everything.
Tell me how is it okay to make fun of someone who is actually having issues in school but someone who isn't is the only recipient of your sympathy?
I mean.
stiles wanting to kill people and scott not letting him

I work for a local agency that works with parents on tanf returning to work. It is an emotionally draining job, but I have come to terms that this is my ministry for now. I have three sons ages 19, 10, and 7--each are very demanding in their own way. I also have two grandsons that will turn one in January and February. At this time, I hold fast to the scripture that states "My God shall meet all my needs..." in addition to <br />
" I know the plans that I have for you..plans not to harm or hinder you, but for you to prosper..."

Harlan Hague
Teaching and writing proved a happy combination that was both intellectually stimulating and personally satisfying. I retired from teaching a bit earlier than I had always planned so that I could devote full time to writing and traveling, another happy union. To colleagues and friends who asked why I retired somewhat early, knowing that I enjoyed teaching immensely, I paraphrased Thoreau. I have many lives to live, and I had to be about the next one.
This is the web site of Harlan Hague, BBA, MBA, MA, PhD, writer and retired history professor. On these pages, I will talk shamelessly about my various passions, chiefly writing and travel.
Principal fields in my scholarly writing were the American West and California. My research and writing on exploration in the West is illustrated in my article on the origins of the southern overland route to California and the Indian role as guides in western exploration. I discuss my fascination with California in an article titled California Dreaming. My concern for the environment is illustrated in my article, Eden Ravished.
I combine my enthusiasms for writing and travel in freelance travel writing. My travel articles have published in the travel sections of newspapers throughout the United States and in travel magazines. I have put up a number of my travel articles here on my web site.
David J. Langum and I collaborated in writing a biography of Thomas O. Larkin, published by University of Oklahoma Press. The book won the Caroline Bancroft History Prize. An American merchant and United States Consul to Mexican California, Larkin was the chief figure in the American acquisition of California. The paperback and hardback may be purchased online from Amazon and Barnes & Noble and by order from any bookstore. Read a summary of Larkin's life in my article.
My Road to California: The Search for a Southern Overland Route, 1540-1848, originally published by The Arthur H. Clark Company, has been reprinted in paperback. The book is the only volume to bring together the story of the search for an overland route to California by Spaniards, Mexicans and Americans. It may be purchased online at Barnes & Noble and Amazon and by order at any bookstore. This reprint volume contains an index.
The general reader may prefer the most recent reprint, right, which does not contain the index.
My short novel, Santa Fé mi casa, was released in June 2011 and a new edition in 2013. This is a love story set in New Mexico and the Southwest at the opening of the Mexican War. John Henry Harris ,a young soldier in the United States Army of the West, is eager to wave the flag and fight for his country. But John Henry's world is soon turned upside down. In Santa Fé he meets Morita and falls in love. Finding no enemies in New Mexico, John Henry questions whether he can support this war against a people who have committed no wrong against him or the United States. He is torn between conflicting passions of loyalty, justice, duty and love. The idyll ends when the army leaves Santa Fé to carry the conquest to California. John Henry longs for Morita and a life with her in the little adobe house in Santa Fé. The book is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble and by order from any bookstore.
My second love, after writing, is traveling. The two proved a happy combination. I traveled with my family, and I organized and escorted tours. Soft Adventure tours, I called them, since they involved experiences that were a bit different and a bit more challenging than the typical tourist experience. In the course of my travels, I have visited some sixty or seventy countries and dependencies. My travel articles published in newspapers and travel magazines throughout the United States. This was in the salad days when newspapers had budget for freelance writing. A collection of my articles, titled Soft Adventure Travel, was published in June 2011 as an eBook. It is available at Amazon.
I reversed the usual path of novel-to-screenplay by writing a novella based on one of my screenplays. Sakura, the book, is based on my screenplay of the same title. This is a story about a good man who loves two women. He lives the good life of a respected professor in a quiet college town on the United States west coast. He loves his wife, his cottage garden and his academic routine. He is content. But when his new Japanese graduate assistant's mother visits her son from Japan, the professor's world is turned upside down. Memories that he thought he had forgotten or suppressed flood back, and his tranquility vanishes. The print and ebook versions are available at Amazon and elsewhere.
My novella, titled Belize in My Dreams, is a tale about the intrigue and affairs of the leaders and members of a tour group enjoying the delights of Belize. How could a tour in exotic Belize be simple with a guide like David Evans. Think Hercule Poirot, James Bond and Rick Steves in one body. The guide's considerable talents are displayed when his tour is targeted by a terrorist group that wants to discredit the government by killing tourists.
My new novel, The People, will be released by Five Star Publishing in summer 2014. This is an alternate history with a touch or two of science fiction, a retelling of the story of the response of the western Indians to the invasion of their lands by the American army and settlers. The tribes form a confederation which, with the help of superior weapons supplied by a shadowy Asian people called the Celestials, is a formidable force. The Indians win this time.
The cover may look something like this, but the publisher will have the last word.
Since the trends in recent years have been toward self-publication, the options in the production of covers has proliferated. I have displayed some examples of the various options here.
In recent years, I have turned to writing screenplays. What writer does not have a screenplay or two in his head, on disk, or making the rounds? Have a look at a short description of each of my scripts.
In addition to fiction, I have turned to fantasy. I wrote a short piece, Three Little Girls and the Fairies. It was inspired by my family's idyllic year on a working farm in England's Cotswold Hills near Chastleton. Then I wrote a little tale, titled The Little Girl in the White Dress, inspired by an overnight in an old coaching station where the innkeeper told me a story about a mysterious little girl who occasionally walks the inn's halls.

Qualcomm; The Intel to Wireless Chip Business
By Hina Amjad - August 28, 2013 | Tickers: BRCM, INTC, QCOM
Over the years Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) has managed to outperform the Silicon Valley giant Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) due to its extensive product line which transcends the conventional PC chipset manufacturing business. Computer processor manufacturers like Intel have long been facing headwinds due to a slowdown in the IT industry and slumping PC sales. However, the veteran is transitioning into tablets and Smartphone chips, challenging Qualcomm and Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM).

NVIDIA's Tegra Is Losing Its Wheels
By Harsh Chauhan - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: GOOG, NVDA, QCOM
When chipmaker NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) recently released its second-quarter results, it became clear that the company is struggling. It was not surprising to see the company's revenue and earnings fall from the year-ago period, given the fact that the PC market has been on shaky ground and NVIDIA's mobile initiative has failed to take off -- rather it's going downhill at the moment.

Does Texas Instruments Make a Good Buy?
By Mark Girland - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: QCOM, STM, TXN
Anyone expecting Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) to have a very bumpy ride in 2013 will be sorely disappointed--the gradually-improving semiconductor space will not allow that to happen. Texas Instruments' second quarter results proved that the tech giant has no plans to go quietly into the night. If the company's business model continues to generate strong cash flows from operations, doubters will turn into believers.

Less-than-stellar results from the company's wireless chip segment and lower guidance sent investors to the exits, dropping the share price about 15%.

A Sharp Drop Is a Buying Opportunity for This OLED Supplier
By Chris Lau - August 4, 2013 | Tickers: ARMH, QCOM, OLED
When a stock falls sharply in a short amount of time, it can sometimes spell opportunity. Universal Display (NASDAQ: OLED) dropped nearly 10% in a single day, on top of a 6.74% decline in the quarter. This happened because rumors circulated that Samsung would buy Novaled AG, a German company that is a supplier for screens used in televisions and handsets.

1. What I do in philosophy.
My work is mainly about Kant. Since Kant contributed to every area of philosophy, this is a little like saying that my work is mainly about philosophy. And I guess that's true. But more specifically, my work is about the concepts of "possibility", "actuality" and "necessity" — which I think contemporary accounts generally get wrong, and which I think Kant generally gets right.
More recently, I've started to think about the significance of these concepts within Kant's ethics: what it means, for example, when he says that it is necessary for us to do something.
Other philosophers I like include: Plato and Aristotle. And the Stoics. And Descartes. Also Spinoza. And Thoreau. Sometimes I also like Daniil Kharms.
2. What I am teaching in the fall.
- Phil. 106: "The Philosophy of Consciousness and the Problem of Embodiment".
- Phil. 251: "Philosophy of Mind".
3. What I am like as a person.
I enjoy poetry and music and eating. My favorite poet is Emily Dickinson. My favorite musician is Clifford Brown. My favorite food is a pastrami sandwich.

1987 J. G. Taylor Spink Award Winner Jim Murray
Jim Murray was sometimes caustic in print, but always gentle in public. He became one of the country's most widely-read sports columnists by having fun with events and with people. Imagination, hyperbole, literacy, humor, similes and a deft needle have always been his staples. He entertained and informed several times a week with 800-900 carefully crafted words.
Following tours of duty with Sports Illustrated, Time magazine, the Los Angeles Examiner, the New Haven Register and the Hartford Times, Murray was a Los Angeles Times sports columnist for well over 30 years.

PISCATAWAY, NJ - The Rutgers women's swimming and diving team (3-0, 2-0 BIG EAST) got significant contributions from its freshman and defeated Richmond 160-140 to keep its perfect record intact.
Sophomore All-American Kelly Harrigan (Bristol, CT) had another outstanding day and won four events for the second consecutive meet. She took the 400 (4:21.13) and 800 free (8:54.61) as well as the 100 back (1:03.67). In addition to the individual events, she was a part of the winning 400 free relay (3:52.82) with senior Samantha Caetano (Alameda, CA), junior Kelly Roche (Redding, CA) and freshman Sarah Gault (Chateauguay, Quebec).
Freshman Allyson Parent (Glen Falls, NY) won the 200 back (2:19.21) and had crucial second-place finishes in the 100 back (1:05.53) and 400 IM (4:57.13). Roche continued her strong early season with a victory in the 200 free (2:04.21), and like Parent, scored important points with second-place finishes in the 50 (27.10) and 100 free (57.78).
The Scarlet Knight divers dominated and made a major contribution by taking
first, second and third in both events. Senior Kelly Gerhardstein (Sandusky,
OH) led
the way, winning both the 1 (260.85) and 3-meter (278.02). Her score on the
3-meter board qualified her for the NCAA Zone meet.
RU will return to action on Tuesday, Nov. 25, at 3:30 p.m., when it hosts Yale. RESULTS

Reported by Gavin Johnson - bio|email
Posted by Debra Worley - email
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) - Brunswick County school board members want children to learn about creationsim, but is that allowed?
"I believe it's important for our students to have knowledge. It's important to know about different theories, and it's important to know about science," said June Atkinson after touring Hoggard High School in Wilmington.
Atkinson says schools across the state are taking a new interest in teaching that God created human life.
"It's a trend that goes and comes. Sometimes it's a big issue in pockets of North Carolina, and then years go by and it's not an issue," said Atkinson.
But, it is an issue right now in Brunswick County. The school board is looking into teaching creationism and evolution side by side.
Shirley Babson said since evolution is required, adding creationism would balance things out and give students the opportunity to follow their own beliefs.
"What we'd like to do is expand it so that children who come from a background that believe that there's another way to create life, at least let them express that," said Babson.
Atkinson says the only way that can happen is if schools consider evolution science and creationism religion.
She also said schools that try to teach creationism as a science are opening themselves up to possible lawsuits.

Elle French 01July 1991 - Heather Stewart Whyte by Dominique Issermann
Gentlemen. This is what rape culture is like: Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you bought it because you like the way it looks and you wanted to treat yourself. And then you get beaten and mugged and your Rolex is stolen. So you go to the police. Only, instead of investigating the crime, the police want to know why you were wearing a Rolex instead of a regular watch. Have you ever given a Rolex to anyone else? Is it possible you wanted to be mugged? Why didn't you wear long sleeves to cover up the Rolex if you didn't want to be mugged? And then after that, everywhere you go, there are constant jokes about stealing your Rolex. People you don't even know whistle at your Rolex and make jokes about cutting your hand off to get it. The media doesn't help either; it portrays people who wear Rolexes as flamboyant assholes who secretly just want someone to come along and take that Rolex off their hands. When damn, all you wanted was to wear a nice watch without getting harassed for it. When you complain that you are starting to feel unsafe, people laugh you off and say that you are too uptight. Never mind you got violently attacked for the crime of wearing a friggin time piece. Imagining all that? It sucks, doesn't it. Now imagine you could never take the Rolex off.

Since the Democrats never debated going to war in Iraq, and most of the major presidential candidates supported the war at one time or another, they're not in much of a position to confront Bush on the issue. Dennis Kucinich, the Cleveland congressman who is a long shot for the presidential nomination, additionally points out that the main contenders all accepted at face value Bush's assertions of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, thereby making themselves look silly by now saying there never were WMD in Iraq. Well, if they knew that, why didn't they stand up and say so? John Kerry, Joe Lieberman, John Edwards, Howard Dean, and Wesley Clark "all claimed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and therefore contributed to the political climate which falsely justified a war," said Kucinich. Only Kucinich and Al Sharpton didn't buy the WMD hype. Here's what each candidate said on this point way back when (the quotes are in chronological order):
Lieberman: "Every day Saddam remains in power with chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United States." August 4, 2002
Kucinich: "Since 1998 no credible intelligence has been brought forward which suggests that Iraq is manufacturing weapons of mass destruction . . . September 12, 2002
Kerry: "Why is Saddam Hussein attempting to develop nuclear weapons when most nations don't even try? According to intelligence, Iraq has chemical and biological weapons. . . . Iraq is developing unmanned aerial vehicles capable of delivering chemical and biological warfare agents . . . " October 9, 2002
Edwards: "We know that he [Hussein] has chemical and biological weapons." October 10, 2002
Clark: "He [Hussein] does have weapons of mass destruction." Questioner: "And you could say that categorically?" Clark: "Absolutely . . . I think they will be found. There's so much intelligence on this."January 18, 2003
Sharpton: "I think that the present administration is bent on war. There has been no, in my judgment, evidence presented there has been any weapons of mass destruction." January 31, 2003
Dean: "[I and others] have never been in doubt about the evil of Saddam Hussein or the necessity of removing his weapons of mass destruction." March 17, 2003

As people keep their eyes on the snow, many are wondering when they need to be prepared for a flood. Many neighbors have been through the floods before, and know what to watch for, like the deterministic number.
Meteorologist Hutch Johnson explains, "We have snow on the ground but we don't know how fast it's going to melt, and if it's all coming down the river channel at once. The forecasts that you hear right now are not really forecasts, they are probalistic forecasts, the river will probably be between this value and that value. Once we start seeing the river gages rise, is when you'll start hearing more precise numbers of how high that number might be."
That's what the city looks for. "The biggest thing for the city leaders is we're going to be looking at probalistic to a deterministic flow, and that's when the river channel opens up and you can actually go and get physical measurements from the river." Says City Engineer Mark Miller.
People say they won't worry until they start to see the melt. "Oh when that river starts to rise, and we get a few days from the crest, from the anticipated crest." says Gary Haynie.

Special stock market segments for small company shares in Europe - What went wrong?
AbstractSpecial stock market segments for small company shares were established by all major European stock exchanges during the 1980's. After showing a remarkable success during the first years of their existence - both in the primary as well as in the secondary market - these segments today suffer from increasing illiquidity. The stock exchange authorities in London and in Amsterdam have therefore decided to close down their stock markets for smaller companies. This paper takes a closer look at the current situation of these stock market segments throughout Europe and discusses the causes for their decline. --

Baseball open C-USA action with series win
Blazer went back to Regions field for the weekend after posting a win in Montgomery over Alabama State.
UAB took action in their first C-USA matchup of the year. The first game didn't go as planned. Chase Mallard delivered another dominant performance on the mound. Through eight innings the score was even at two runs apiece.
The top of the ninth was problematic for the home team, a walk, balk and two wild pitches combined with a hit allowed two Blue Raiders to cross the plate resulting in a two run deficit for the Green and Gold.
A walk and a hit put the Blazers down just one before suffering the final out end what was the third loss of the season for UAB putting them 0-1 in C-USA. "A normal Friday night game," head coach Brian Shoop said in an interview with uabsports.com. "Runs are at a premium. A pitcher's duel, each teams had a couple of chances. The kids made a good run at it in the ninth. We came up a little short tonight."
Saturdays game started like Fridays ended, with UAB struggling. After an inning and a third starter Johnny Leiske gave up an early run and earned a quick exit from the diamond. In relief came Thomas Lowery. Lowery pitched four innings allowed two ER and picked up his first win.
The fifth frame UAB offense woke up tallying five runs to spring the Green and Gold ahead. UAB would hold on the lead after a ninth inning scare pulling the series against MTSU even.
In the rubber match, Junior pitcher Alex Luna would shine. Luna pitched 8 scoreless innings allowing just 4 hits en route to his 3 win and his record remains without a blemish.
"It was a dominant outing," commented Shoop. "All four missed barrels and they squibbed ground balls in the right spots. That was a dominant performance. Today, basically we win because of Alex Luna."
UAB scored 2 runs in the third inning on a pair of RBI singles by Ivan De Jesus and Ryan Prinzing. The two runs would be all UAB needed as they held the Blue Raiders at bay winning 2-0.
"It was great to comeback after losing on Friday to win the series," coach Shoop said. "But, I do not want to make any more of it than what it is."
UAB wins the opening series in C-USA action as they improve to 13-3 on the year and 2-1 in C-USA.
The Blazers will now have a home and home against JSU with the first game coming inside the diamond at Regions on Tuesday before heading to Jacksonville Wednesday.
After the bout with the instate foe, UAB will head to Norfolk, Virginia where they will enter the second series inside of league play against Old Dominion.
Over Spring Break, the Blazers will head to Honolulu to take on Hawaii in a four game series.
