Americans gone bad
WIMBLEDON, England -- Andy Roddick suffered one of the worst moments of his career at Wimbledon last year, upset by Richard Gasquet in the quarterfinals after blowing a two-set lead. At least he got that far.
There was more misery at the All England Club on Thursday, as Roddick, buoyed by victories over the head of the men's class earlier this season, exited in the second round to unpredictable Serbian Janko Tipsarevic 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 (4).
Coupled with James Blake's defeat to slumping German Rainer Schuettler and Jesse Levine's loss to Austrian veteran Jurgen Melzer earlier in the day, both in five sets, it left -- guess now -- Bobby Reynolds as the last American man in the singles.
And he's up against big-serving lefty Feliciano Lopez, a quarterfinalist three years ago, on Friday.
If he's sent packing, no U.S. men will be in the last 16 at Wimbledon for the second time in three years, although having a solitary male in the third round is already the U.S.'s worst showing at Wimbledon in the Open era.

Andy Roddick was exasperated at times during his second-round loss to Janko Tipsarevic.
It was Roddick's earliest departure on the hallowed lawns in eight tries.
"Any chance I got I pretty much just choked it,'' said Roddick, seeded sixth and a two-time finalist. "So you know, that's tough to deal with, and that's not something that you really want to do. It's twice in a row here that I've completely blanked.''
The result emphasized what a topsy-turvy campaign it's been for Roddick.
Wins over world No. 1 Roger Federer, No. 2 Rafael Nadal and No. 3 Novak Djokovic were tempered by a third-round loss to German Philipp Kohlschreiber at January's Australian Open and skipping last month's French Open because of a bum shoulder. (Roddick didn't blame the shoulder or lack of prep time for the loss.)
Given he's chosen not to play the Olympics, Roddick's last real shot at glory comes at the U.S. Open, the site of his lone Grand Slam title five years ago.
"I think he'll look at his season as a C as of right now,'' ESPN analyst Luke Jensen said. "He's got a passing grade because of the wins here and there, but the bottom line is that he'll be defined by the majors. He's got to lift his C grade, and he's got one good shot to make it an A.''
There weren't many good shots against Tipsarevic, by Roddick's own admission.
He failed to take any of his eight break chances, including three on set points in the final set. At 5-4 for Roddick in the fourth and up 40-30, he sent a meek forehand push return into the middle of the net from a short, tame second serve.
Tipsarevic went 2-for-2 on break points.
"The guy hit average serves in the middle of the box at about 90 mph,'' said Roddick. "There's no excuse. You know, if I consider myself a top player or whatever, you make those. You make those in your sleep. I not only didn't make them, there was nothing even positive in the misses.''
Roddick too often was content to trade ground strokes with Tipsarevic, and the Serb, carrying the hopes of a nation on his shoulders -- in the men's draw, that is -- now that Djokovic is gone, found success 22 of the 27 times he foraged to the net. Roddick was 18-for-31. Tipsarevic saved the final Roddick set point of the fourth, at 5-6, by serving and volleying, the only time either used that tactic.
Tipsarevic continues to battle the top guys tough. He rallied from a match point down to beat explosive Chilean Fernando Gonzalez at Wimbledon a year ago and stretched Federer to a 10-8 fifth set at January's Australian Open.
If only he could be more consistent.
"I just looked at the stats, and it's really simple,'' said Tipsarevic, ranked 40th. "Today I used my chances, and he didn't.''
Blake, a loser in the second round at the French, still hasn't got past the third at Wimbledon in six tries, a surprise since his hard-hitting game is more suited to faster surfaces and he reached the final of the Artois Championships, the premier men's grass-court tune-up, two years ago.
Schuettler, at 32 seemingly nearing the end of his career, entered Wimbledon with a 4-13 top-tier record in 2008 and hasn't been inside the top 75 in the rankings since May 2006. A former world No. 5, he's currently 94th.
Blake blew a two sets-to-one advantage and went 3-for-13 on break points. He was broken to end the match.
So much for the anticipated Blake-Roddick fourth-round showdown.
Five things we learned on Thursday
1. Nadal knows sarcasm: Over the past week, Rafael Nadal has been asked incessantly about Spain's chances in soccer's European Championships. Perennial underachievers, the Spanish found themselves in the semis against Russia on Thursday, eventually winning 3-0.
Nadal toppled budding Latvian star Ernests Gulbis in four sets, the match starting at 1 p.m. local time, six-and-a-half hours before the soccer semifinal.
Here's Nadal's take when asked if he thought he'd miss the game.
"If I'm going to miss the [soccer?]'' Nadal asked. "If I play the longest match in the history, yes.''
Nadal's uncle, by the way, is former Spanish international defender Miguel Angel Nadal, dubbed the Beast of Barcelona.
2. Those wily Germans can still play: Take a bow, Tommy Haas, Nicolas Kiefer and Rainer Schuettler.
The German trio, all over 30, pulled off impressive wins, one way or another, in the second round. Haas, more patched up than the Bionic Man, took out 23rd-seeded and grass-averse Tommy Robredo in straight sets; Kiefer steamrolled clay-court specialist Martin Vassallo Arguello 6-0, 6-3, 6-1 in an hour and a half; and Schuettler rallied from two sets down to knock off ninth-seeded American James Blake.
Schuettler, the former world No. 5 now ranked 94th, the lowest of the three, probably has the best chance in the next round. He'll meet Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, while Haas and Kiefer get British hope Andy Murray and Nadal, respectively.
3. There is depth in women's tennis: More than a few women's matches in the opening rounds involving seeds have been tight: Nathalie Dechy notably squandering two match points in a 10-8 third-set loss to world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic yesterday and Russian Alla Kudryavtseva going one better today by eliminating one of the tournament favorites, Maria Sharapova, in straight sets.
Kudryavtseva had fun with a male reporter who brought up the issue of depth in her postmatch news conference.
"It's guys,'' she said. "They always say, 'The women's game is predictable.' They always say, 'You women can't serve, you don't go to the net, you can't slice.' No, we can do it all. We're strong. Don't listen to them.''
Just so you know, Kudryavtseva came to the net only eight times.
4. That Murray serve is looking good: Murray's serve has been the subject of much attention. With potentially one of the biggest deliveries around, Murray, heading into this week, was outside the top 55 in first-serve percentage (57 percent) and outside the top 25 in aces.
In a 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 rout over injury-hit Belgian Xavier Malisse Thursday, though, he notched a first-serve percentage of 67, clubbed 16 aces and claimed more than 80 percent of points behind the first serve.
"It's getting there,'' the 12th seed, projected to meet an improving Richard Gasquet in the fourth round, said. "Hopefully the next couple of years it will get a bit stronger, you know, get the strength in my shoulder to maintain it over five sets so that I can keep it going the whole way through tournaments.''
5. Venus is the forgiving type: Venus Williams doesn't hold grudges -- or so she says.
At 1-1 in the second set of her ultimately comfortable win over Anne Keothavong, Williams was clubbed in the face by the British No. 1 with a shot when they were at the net. The defending champion looked miffed and failed to spot Keothavong's apology, though appeared untroubled afterward.
"It hurt,'' Williams said. "This is tennis. You have to be ready for whatever. I've hit some people, too. I don't think she was aiming at me. And if she was, she didn't tell me about it. I don't think she was aiming for me.''
Williams gets another foe outside the top 90 in the third round in Spaniard Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez.

The high road
"I'm going to take the high road," she told reporters on a conference call Thursday when asked about Gimelstob's lack of impulse control in a stunningly vulgar Washington, D.C. radio interview last week, in which he used several profanities to describe her.
Kournikova, 27, and Gimelstob, 31, are both set to play on World Team Tennis squads this summer -- Kournikova with the St. Louis Aces and Gimelstob with the Washington Kastles -- and Gimelstob said he intended to talk enough trash to make Kournikova cry on court. Other lowlights included Gimelstob's threat to "plug" a serve down Kournikova's throat, and a suggestion that his younger brother should have sex with Kournikova. He also made prurient observations about several current players on tour, including Nicole Vaidisova and Alize Cornet, whom he termed "sexpots" -- another dubious verbal detour, since Gimelstob provides match analysis for Tennis Channel.
The Russian said she had "no clue" why Gimelstob would attack her, and added, "I'm sorry about this, but I don't want to get into any off-court stuff. WTT is not about those sorts of things, it's about keeping it fun and positive playing for the fans. So I really don't want to get into any of those discussions. I really am not paying attention to that, and I don't want to give it any more significance than it has already received."
World Team Tennis suspended Gimelstob for one match without pay, and his apology is posted on the league's Web site. "I hope my heartfelt remorse can begin to heal any wounds I have caused," wrote Gimelstob, who also made a donation to the Women's Sports Foundation. WTT founder Billie Jean King said she had spoken to Gimelstob and hoped all concerned could "move beyond" the incident. Tennis Channel also posted a statement that said the network had "reprimanded" Gimelstob.
Kournikova, a longtime Miami resident, spends much of her time these days raising money for the Boys and Girls Club.
The Aces play the Kastles in Washington on July 23.

Down and out
After Lindsay Davenport withdrew from the tournament before her second-round match with Gisela Dulko on Thursday with an injured right knee, she conceded that it might well be her last appearance at the All England Club, where she won the title in 1999.
And yet, Davenport didn't seem overly distraught.
"It didn't go into my mind today like, 'Oh, this is my last chance to play here,'" she said. "You know, I haven't analyzed it to that point yet.
"Coming back, it was a huge goal of mine after giving birth, and obviously having some extra weight and to see what I could do and challenge myself after having Jagger. It's been worth every step of the way."
Davenport was playing her first tournament in nearly two months and knew coming in that the condition of her knee might not allow her to last long. After beating Renata Voracova in the first round, Davenport rushed to the hospital for an MRI. To her relief, there was no structural damage to the knee that underwent surgery in 2002, but there was inflammation and fluid behind the kneecap.
"After warming up, I felt like I was about 25, maybe 30 percent," Davenport said. "In a first-, second-round match, it's just not good enough. It's not going to get better the more I play on it."
So Davenport will head home to Laguna Beach, Calif., and concentrate on rest and rehabilitation. The doctors say she should be good to go in several weeks. Then her focus will be reduced to two tournaments: the Beijing Olympics and the U.S. Open.
And then? It sounds as if Davenport -- who has withdrawn from tournaments this year with a back injury, a viral infection and this balky knee -- is going to quietly step away from the game.
"There's certainly days where you feel like it's not something you want to do, like any person in their job feels," she said. "There's other days where it's like, 'Oh, my gosh. I can't wait for the U.S. Open in eight weeks.'"
Since her comeback last year, Davenport has described her status as "semi part-time." Why doesn't she use the "R" word, as in retirement?
"Because if I say that word, you [media] guys jump all over it," she said, smiling. "So now I just pretend like I'm going to play through the London Olympics, and then I have no stress."

Definition of pinchbeck
1 : an alloy of copper and zinc used especially to imitate gold in jewelry
2 : something counterfeit or spurious
Did You Know?
On November 27, 1732, an advertisement ran in a British newspaper announcing that "the toys made of the late ingenious Mr. Pinchbeck's curious metal ... are now sold only by his son. . .." The Mr. Pinchbeck in question was Christopher Pinchbeck, a London watchmaker who invented the alloy that would be posthumously named for him. Although the metal is used as a substitute for gold, the word pinchbeck, which can also be used as an adjective, didn't acquire its "counterfeit" sense until the 1790s, over 50 years after Pinchbeck's death.

How to Get a High Score! Cx If you're reading this and are new, here's some tips: Max Combo is crucial. Even if the song is too short or there's not a lot of those circles, Max Combo will multiply the score gained for each circle. A long song would be cool too. The more circles, the more points. A long, soothing song with some beats works GREAT! My high score is a little over 5 million. Cx Aaaannnd for some of you who want a challenge, download Urbanstep & Puffin - Technology and try that on Expert mode. ;D
Best game ever! For the songs that are non reactive, I figured out a work-around. Open the track in a media converted, make sure the sample rate is 44100Hz and if the audio bit rate is below 160Kb/s, increase it a few clicks. Convert the file with the augmented settings, but keep the file type the same. When the file is done processing, refresh and try loading it again in the game. All of the missing beat data will be there. Let me know how this works out for you guys.
I love it but... Its awesome cause I can play my own songs! No.other games do that. Not like tap tap. This has really good potential but you guys need to fix these bugs and quick. Like pushing all three bottons in the middle of a song... its not going to happen. And also to make the little circles be more in symc with the music. Not just all random that doesn't even go with the beat or the music phrases. Please fix and ill give 5 all the way!
Very good game This app is the best of its kind! It can lag, but it has an easy solution. Just go into settings and turn to low quality. Also, it has an audio offset, great for players to fine tune the game. It does allow the play to input their own sons, but the feature doesn't work very well. Overall it is the best dinner taping music app, it's free, and has some cool settings/features!
Issue I see in this app It's not the best game, let me start explaining. It's a game that's like, Guitar Hero, and it's pretty good, but this feature I'm fixing to talk about are pretty important on how the game works and functions. The notes you're supposed to hit. for example, I was playing a irish song and the notes well, it wasn't well formatted. Fist off, its following the drums and not the guitar, second off, its so off beat with the actual song half of the notes never make sense. This is OK not bad and I recommend it.
BEST APP EVER Play to any song you have on your phone? It's a dream come true!! No installing, no loading, literally just pick a song from you library and 5 seconds later you're playing. The notes match the song well enough. Only complaint would be the graphics aren't too pretty, but that isn't a problem considering how well everything else works. BEST APP!! Why is this not kn the top apps page??

v2.1: Fixed some bugs of the game. Thanks for your great support!

This is a new fraud on email that uses the names of Grameen Foundation, and Nobel Peace prize winner Muhammad Yunus, to lure gullible people
A new mail is doing the rounds over the Internet, seeking to give money for a noble cause to the 'chosen' recipient. The email, under the name of Grameen Foundation, is nothing but a fraud and it has nothing to do with the Foundation by the same name that was founded to follow the model of Grameen Bank beyond the borders of Bangladesh to help poor people. But more about Grameen Foundation later.
The scamsters have not just used Grameen Foundation's name as the sender, but they have also provided the registered office address, the website link, and used the name of Paul Maritz, the chair of the Foundation. However, one look at the email ID from where it originates, immediately reveals the hidden face of the scamsters and their agenda.
The email reads: "To celebrate the new year 35th anniversary program, Grameen Foundation is giving out a yearly donation of 950,000.00 (nine hundred and fifty thousand Great Britain pounds) to 10 lucky recipients, by which at least 15% of the awarded funds should be used by you to develop a part of your environment. This is a yearly program which is a measure of universal development strategy. You are to contact Rosanna Ramos-Velita, Treasurer (email@example.com) with your PIN number (GF.101) in order to redeem your grant and get more information."
The question is, when the Foundation itself needs donations, funding, to run its projects, why would it give money to people like you and me? Why would some one who does not know us shell out 9.5 lakh pounds (about Rs6.87 crore) through an email. Besides, the email says that you must spend a minimum 15% of this amount for development of your environment. In other words, you can spend the rest of the amount for your own development!
Clearly, this is yet another fraud in progress, aimed at gullible people who are lured by lotteries or free money schemes. So, if you receive such a message, delete it immediately. Here are some points to keep in mind to help you identify such fake and fraud messages. Such scams are widespread, so governments and web sites like www.truthorfiction.com, www.fraudwatchers.org or www.scambaits.com, are giving special attention to the matter, to warn and help potential victims and catch scamsters. The web site of the Nigerian Central Bank has a warning on the home page that says, "If it looks too good to be true, it usually is." The US Secret Service and the British National Criminal Intelligence Service also undertake investigations regularly and issue warnings to people constantly.
Now about the Grameen Foundation. It is a global non-profit organisation based in Washington that aims to increase access of poor people to microfinance, like it has successfully done thrugh Grameen Bank which was set up by Nobel Peace prize winner Muhammad Yunus. The Foundation helps the world's poorest, especially women, to improve their lives through access to microfinance and technology. Being a non-profit organisation, it needs donations from people to implement its projects.

It's hard to imagine that sheep dotting a green pasture could cause any harm, but there are plenty of ways to become injured while working with sheep. It's important to understand the basics of how and why sheep move the way they do to prevent injuries to both humans and animals. Any time a sheep is separated from its group is an opportunity for injury to the handler or the sheep.
Managing pests of herb and vegetable bedding plants
by Katie Navarra
"Biological control programs use living organisms that are natural enemies of insects to control pests and diseases," said Leanne Pundt, Extension Educator for University of Connecticut at the Litchfield County Extension Center.
"They do not act as quickly as pesticides, so cannot be used as a rescue treatment. Natural enemies are best used preventatively, early in the cropping cycle, when plants are small, pest numbers are low and pest damage has not yet occurred," she added.
Biological controls also reduce worker exposure to pesticide and pesticide residues, limits spray damage, requires limited equipment for application and improves plant quality. Integrating biological controls also lengthens the lifespan of effective pesticides used in greenhouses by reducing opportunity for the development of resistance. [Read more…]
Animal care in USDA Research Program
by George Looby
One of the most important of the USDA's many departments, units or sections is the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) where wide ranges of agriculturally related research programs are conducted. If it pertains in any way to agriculture there is very likely some sort of research going on in that particular area. One of the many components within the ARS is the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) located in Clay Center, NE.
The mission statement of this program is to develop scientific information and new technology to solve high priority problems for the U.S. beef, sheep and swine industries. The research is directed toward problems of national concern and to meeting USDA's Action Agencies research needs. Research approaches involve multidisciplinary teams with emphasis on both short-term and long-term solutions to improving animal production and product quality. [Read more…]
Identifying mastitis
Mastitis is the most common disease affecting dairy cattle. "Preventing mastitis is certainly important but identifying it is equally important," said Ernest Hovingh, DVM/PhD, a highly visible presence at ag gatherings, he averages about 100 presentations a year, often more. His original topic at the 2015 Lebanon Dairy & Crops Compliance Day was 'Objectively Investigating Milk Quality Issues', but mastitis took front and center. After identifying mastitis, he says, "it must be properly managed." Hovingh opened with a Socratic questioning method, wanting to know from attendees if they could tell from varied slides "whether or not this cow has mastitis"; if not, what could it be? [Read more…]
Promoting native bee pollinators in organic farming systems
Honey bees are the most widely known pollinator species. However, recent research shows there are numerous pollinator species and that the more diverse the species the increased pollination benefits. "There are thousands of bee species, some are solitary, some nest in the ground, others in twigs and trees," explained David Crowder, Assistant Professor of Entomology at Washington State University.

Sexy, colorful, edgy, expertly paced, with a great opening sequence and a knockout ending, "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" is formula genre filmmaking at its absolute finest. The movie has a beautiful female lead (Nathalie Kelley), cool sidekicks, wonderfully over the top villains, and a great setting (the filmmakers do a great job utilizing the Tokyo locations).
This movie is a real rush of adrenaline. A wicked guilty pleasure that lives up to its title.
In Tokyo, Sean quickly discovers the racing scene. After trashing a race car, he has no choice but to work for Han, the car's owner, as compensation. Han is by far the best character in this movie, to the point that he seems out of place--you just don't expect a character THAT good in this sort of action flick. Han is a whimsical, philosophical and intense character. He completely upstages Sean and almost from the first moment you see him, calmly eating his chips while he watches Sean destroy his expensive race car, you want to see more of him.
Much of the movie's impetus comes from D.K. and Neela. D.K., short for "Drift King," is the top racer in the area and the nephew of a local yakuza boss. He's partners with Han and is obsessed with Neela, a peer of Sean's at school. D.K. dislikes Sean immediately, noting Sean's interest in Neela and tensions between the two of them escalate throughout the movie, leading to the "climax" which is a night race down an extremely windy road out in the middle of nowhere. The races in general are pretty entertaining and are a good length, time-wise.
This was a good flick with a few really excellent qualities. The plot was a little hazy but there was one, and the characters were very well developed. Just the Han character made it worth seeing, for me. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys action movies. It was at last as good as the previous two movies in the series.
For me, the only really noticeable mistake in this movie is that way too many people walked away with only a few scratches from what should have been fatal crashes. For example, there is one crash where a car rams into a concrete tube while going at least 80 mph. Yet the two occupants didn't even require a hospital bed! A more minor mistake might have been putting in a little too much plot, especially when some things weren't followed up as well as they could have. In the end, though, the plot is mostly there to serve as some spacer between all the hot cars and awesome races. I should mention one other minor mistake. Vin Diesel's cameo was so completely pointless. The movie already had a good ending, it was just kinda senseless.
The cars in this movie are the real stars. So many hot little numbers, including American muscle cars, hot foreign vehicles, and one pimped out van that you just have to see to believe. The acting is good, for what it is, though Luca Black's twang-filled voice might annoy some folks. Twinkie, another army brat played by Bow Wow, is such a hoot!Read more ›
Here Lin is in Tokyo with the stoic, deadpan line reading Lucas Black (as the booted out of the US to avoid Juvenile detention, Shane Boswell...a car nut addicted to driving fast and grinning like a Cheshire cat) who, of course finds the local car culture and its inhabitants by way of a school pal, Twinkie played by the appealing Bow-Wow. And he just as quickly falls in with the "wrong crowd" consisting of Han, a sort of Sensei to Shane (the enigmatic and excellent Sung Kang from "Face" and "Better Luck Tomorrow"), and the villain of the piece, Yamata played with his face crunched and a constant sneer by Sonny Chiba. Then there is the lovely Neela (Nathalie Kelley...a dead ringer for FFI's Jordana Brewster): like Shane and Twinkie a High School (!)student with very, very permissive parents.
Lin directs this piece to within an inch of its life: your eyes and ears are never bored, never without something to feast your eyes upon or pop your fingers to.
Lin never judges his characters, we never feel that he is slumming...he always respects the material he is given to direct and he always puts his personal stamp on everything that he does.
I wish he were given something as meaningful and heartfelt as "Better Luck Tomorrow" to direct but he's young and he has many many movies to make before he is through.

Amazon's mobile site led April iPhone testing across the three major carriers.
Amazon's mobile site produced the fastest iPhone access time across three major service providers in April, says Compuware Gomez. Last month, Amazon.com produced an average iPhone mobile response time of 3.05 seconds.
M.Sears.com came in second in iPhone testing among large web retailers an average response time of 3.63 seconds, followed by OfficeDepot.com (3.69 seconds), LLBean.com (4.63) and HSN.com (5.26).
Gomez measures the average iPhone response time for the three major service carriers: AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. Testing for all 20 retailers took place once per hour per carrier from two U.S. locations (Virginia and California).
Gomez measures response time as the end-to-end time elapsed while downloading each mobile site.

text: Jerry Only is doing Misfits fans a grave injustice by flogging the corpse of a band that died decades ago. A Pavlovian response occurs when the skull of one of the most successfully branded bands of all time peaks out from the cover of its latest offering. But this certainly is not the Misfits of yore. Only (bass and vocals) leads B-level Misfits and Black Flag alumni Robo (drums) and Dez Cadena (guitar) through two George Romero-inspired cuts. Each is a fun, albeit lame horror-punk anthem in which Only does his best Glenn Danzig impersonation. What makes them truly awful is how they charade as Misfits songs, but don't deliver on the promises made by the band's name. It's a pathetic affront to anyone who knows the band's legacy. Why not shed the baggage and call it a Jerry Only record? It worked for Danzig. 2 out of 5 stars.

Jan. 18, 2014
NEW ORLEANS, La. – Rice University men's basketball rallied back from a slow start but ultimately fell short in a 58-41 setback at Tulane on Saturday evening. Sean Obi notched his sixth double-double of the season with team highs of 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Obi connected on 3-of-4 attempts from the field and 6-of-8 foul shots in 22 minutes. Austin Ramljak also reached double figures with 12 points of his own on 3-of-9 shooting and 3-of-4 foul shots.
The Owls (5-12, 0-4 C-USA) shot 28.3 percent from the field in the game and connected on 4-of-24 three-pointers on the night. Tulane (10-9, 2-2) didn't fare all that much better from the field with a 39.6 field goal percentage and the Owl defense kept the Green Wave 10 points below its season scoring average in the contest.
Rice battled foul trouble throughout the first half with 10 team fouls. Tulane came from behind early on with a 21-2 run to close out the frame while a trio of Owls watched from the bench with a pair of fouls each. Neither team found its shooting touch from the field to open the game, but eight second-chance points and 4-of-9 three-pointers helped the home team stake out a 28-14 lead at the intermission.
Despite the halftime deficit, the Owls came out strong after the break, scoring 11-straight points to pull back within 28-21 with more than 17 minutes remaining in regulation. The Owls needed just 10 minutes in the frame to match their first-half scoring output.
Tulane regrouped soon after and responded with a run of its own to regain a double-figure lead. The home team shot 46.2 percent in the second half with five more three-pointers to maintain a cushion for the 58-41 win.
Andrew Drone scored four of Rice's six bench points on 2-of-4 shooting with a block. Seth Gearhart chipped in six rebounds with three points and a pair of steals.
Keith Washington led the squad with three assists and added five points, four rebounds and a steal on the night. Rice dished out 10 assists on 13 field goals in the game as Gearhart and Max Guercy added a pair each.
Tulane held a 39-34 rebound advantage and committed just 10 turnovers to Rice's 16, which turned into 18 Green Wave points. Rice outscored Tulane, 9-8, in fast-break points and nearly matched the Wave in points in the paint, with just a 20-18 deficit.
Jay Hook led Tulane in scoring with 17 points while Tre Drye grabbed 10 rebounds and Jonathan Stark dished eight of the squad's 13 assists.
The Owls return home to host Marshall on Thursday. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Tudor Fieldhouse.

July's Game Project Final Presentation [Play]
At last month's Game Project Final Presentations, the Royales with Cheese team from Mastermind Studios presented a demo of their final project: Sugar Rush, a third person adventure game where players must stop evil dentists from taking over the land of Sweetopia. In order to do this, players use weapons (like a giant lollipop) to defeat the dentists and their army of vegetables (including some pretty mean-looking carrots). The more enemies defeated, the higher the sugar rush.
The seven-member Royales with Cheese team is made up of Game Art, Game Development, and Game Design students who all graduated from their respective programs earlier this month. To watch a demo or download and play the game yourself, head over to the Game Project Web Portal.

I arrived at the Comfort Suites after a grueling day of travel and was greeted in the lobby by a warm wonderful scent of cinnamon apples and the smiling face of the young man at the front desk (I wish I would have gotten his name but I was too tired). I felt I received a very good rate being so close to DC, so I was happy but even happier when I got to my room. It looks like this property has had a fairly recent renovation, and the room was quite nice. I slept well and in the morning was impressed by one of the most complete breakfasts I've ever seen at a hotel in this category. The attendant of the breakfast buffet was also most pleasant and friendly. This will be my new "halfway" stop on my frequent east coast travels. Thanks!

Late Night With Johnny P Show is off for the month on vacation for the month of July, next show August 25, 2016.
Contact me firstname.lastname@example.com
About Johnny P
Somehow it feels "right" that jack-of-all-trades Johnny Potenza grew up the son of a firefighter-slash-old-time plasterer. After all, this Brooklyn-born and Staten Island- raised Renaissance Man has spent his life pursuing multiple paths, too, logging time as a musician, a TV producer and an on-camera performer. And, as if that wasn't enough, along the way he carried on the family tradition of plastering – as his on-again, off-again "survival" job. Indeed, Johnny Potenza is nothing if not a survivor.
