WASHINGTON - Jim Boeheim calls this year's Syracuse team his best defensive group ever. Hard to argue, based on the suffocating performances that put the Orange in the Final Four.
Using its trapping, shot-challenging 2-3 zone to perfect effect for 40 minutes, No. 4-seeded Syracuse shut down No. 3 Marquette 55-39 in the East Regional final Saturday to earn Boeheim his first trip to the national semis since a freshman named Carmelo Anthony helped win the 2003 NCAA title.
"It's a great thing," Boeheim joked afterward. "We go once every 10 years."
Fittingly, a matchup between schools from the soon-to-break-apart, rough-and-tumble Big East became quite a struggle on the offensive end. Syracuse (30-9) was led by senior forward James Southerland's 16 points. Michael Carter-Williams, a 6-foot-6 guard who is out front in the zone, was named the regional's top player after having 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists Saturday.
Marquette (26-9) hadn't scored fewer than 47 points all season - and, indeed, put up 74 in a victory over Syracuse on Feb. 25. But this time, Marquette kept turning the ball over, seeing its shots blocked or just missing.
"They beat us from start to finish. We collectively tried everything we knew to try," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. "It is the zone, and it is the players in the zone."
Marquette made only 12 of 53 shots - 23 percent - and was 3 for 24 on 3-pointers. The Golden Eagles' 39 points were a record low for a team in an NCAA Tournament regional final since the shot clock was introduced in 1986.
"They cover ground really good. You've got to get the ball in the middle, you've got to play inside out, you've got to get to the free throw line and wear them down with the 3-pointer when you can," Blue said. "They're really good at what they do in that zone."
In the national semifinals at Atlanta next week, Syracuse will face the winner of Sunday's South Regional final between Florida and Michigan.
Last season, Syracuse fell a victory short of the Final Four, losing to Ohio State in the round of eight.
"We wanted to get over the hump," Southerland said. "That's what I told the guys: We've still got two more to go."
The Big East is transforming radically before next season. Syracuse is heading to the Atlantic Coast Conference, while Marquette is one of seven basketball-centric schools departing the conference to form a new league that is taking the Big East name with it.
But talk about a last hurrah.
Not only is Syracuse on its way to the Final Four, but the league also could have a second representative because Louisville is in the Midwest Regional final Sunday against Duke.
In this very same building, exactly three weeks ago, Syracuse wrapped up its final Big East regular-season schedule with a bad-as-can-be performance in a lopsided loss to Georgetown, scoring 39 points <0x2014> the Orange's tiniest total in a half-century.
Thanking fans after Saturday's victory, Boeheim said: "I'm sure some of you were here, three weeks ago today, when it didn't turn out so good."
That was Syracuse's fourth loss in a span of five games, a stumbling way to head into tournament play. Since then, though, Boeheim's team has won seven of eight games.
"When you bounce back like that, that says a lot about your kids, your team and your character," Boeheim said. "This is a heck of a bounce back."
And the secret to success? Defense, naturally.
"We got the right personnel for each key position," C.J. Fair said. "We got big long guards, we got big long forwards that can cover ground and our centers do a good job holding down the inside."
Syracuse really needed only one run on offense in the second half, making five shots in a row during a spurt that gave it a 41-28 lead with 9½ minutes left.
With President Obama - a basketball enthusiast who picked Indiana to win the title - and NFL Rookie of the Year Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins sitting in the crowd, Syracuse harassed Marquette into missing 14 of its first 15 tries from beyond the 3-point arc.
Marquette started 1 for 10 overall on field-goal tries, with Blue's 3-pointer about 1½ minutes in the only make. He celebrated as though it came at the end of the game, not the outset, punching the air and tapping defender Triche on the back while heading to the other end of the court.
After Blue's 3, Marquette missed its next seven shots.
Davante Gardner ended that drought by scoring inside. Still, four of Marquette's next five possessions ended with turnovers: Gardner couldn't handle a teammate's pass, and the ball bounced off his face; Blue was called for traveling; Fair drew a charge from Blue; Junior Cadougan lost control of his dribble on a wild foray into the lane with the shot clock expiring.
That was part of a stretch - disappointing for Marquette, delightful for Syracuse - in which the Golden Eagles went nearly 6½ minutes without a single field-goal attempt. Forget about putting the basketball through the net; Syracuse was so smothering, Marquette did not even manage to shoot.
That helped Syracuse build a 19-7 lead.
Enter Gardner, a 290-pound reserve forward.
He scored a career-high 26 points in Marquette's February victory over Syracuse, and he went right to work Saturday.
A 7-minute gap between baskets for Marquette was snapped by Gardner, who grabbed the rebound of his own missed free throw and sank a jumper, beginning a bunch of highlights for him.
Another jumper was followed by a defensive rebound, then an assist on Chris Otule's bucket. Gardner high-stepped back down the court, yelling and punching a fist, before chest-bumping Otule.
It was part of a run in which Marquette cut its deficit to 21-18 on yet another jumper in the lane by Gardner.
The thing is, the Golden Eagles can play defense, too - what Big East team can't? - and the teams combined for four turnovers, two blocks and 3-for-16 shooting in the early minutes. For the first half, Marquette shot 27 percent - take away Gardner's 4 for 5, and his teammates were under 15 percent <0x2014> while Syracuse was at 36 percent.
Indeed, as Gardner almost single-handedly got his team back in the game with half of Marquette's initial 18 points, Syracuse went through an 0-for-6 blip.
But Southerland hit a 3, off a pass and screen by Carter-Williams, to put the Orange ahead 24-18 at halftime.
After helping cut down the net to celebrate Saturday, Southerland was asked whether he thought this sort of thing was possible when his team was leaving the same arena on March 9 after losing meekly to Georgetown.
"We just did a good job of recovering from that," Southerland explained, "and not sulking."

The much-ballyhooed new Facebook e-mail system is about to hit your page, according to an item posted on the social network's blog today. Facebook began letting people sign up in November, but the full rollout to everyone on the network will be coming in the next few weeks.
In announcing the new system last year, the Zuckster said he thinks e-mail is going the way of the dinosaur. This new system, complete with @facebook.com addresses, marks Facebook's attempt to define the next generation of digital messaging. Instead of today's fragmented system in which people use cellphone texts, instant messaging chats and three personal e-mail addresses (that would be me), Facebook's new system threads all those messages through its single portal. One messaging system to rule them all.
It all looks a lot like an e-mail killer, but Facebook keeps protesting that this isn't e-mail. "There are no subject lines, no cc, no bcc, and you can send a message by hitting the Enter key," according to the company's blog. "We modeled it more closely to chat ... We wanted to make this more like a conversation."
There's much to like about the concept. Who wouldn't want to be able to sit at your home computer and strike up a real-time conversation with a friend riding the bus home from work? We'll have to see how it actually works and if there are bugs in it, as there often seems to be with new Facebook changes. Convenience aside, I sort of like not having all my messaging dependent on one provider. And after all, the average smartphone threads all of your messages into one viewing screen, anyway. Is Facebook offering a convenience nobody really asked for?
What do you think? If you've been using it already, do you like it?

Facebook e-mail coming soon
The much-ballyhooed new Facebook e-mail system is about to hit your page, according to an item posted on the social network's blog today. Facebook began letting people sign up in November, but the full rollout to everyone on the network will be coming in the next few weeks.

So, how exactly is this different from gchat, which is already wildly popular for gmail users? Sounds like another Facebook ploy to get more of your personal information.

I have a facebook account to keep in touch with coworkers who've left the company, out of town relatives and friends who have moved away. All we do is share photos of the kids and garden, wish people happy birthday or anniversary, and announce to the world when someone is getting married. No need for chats, not many messages. I really don't use email except for coupons from my favorite website. I don't text much except if I'm meetg someone and running late, and rarely need voice mail. Why? I CALL people. Personally. To talk. To hear their voice. I do this when they are home and free to relax and talk. Yes, some people don't mind sitting quietly reading on a bus trip home. And I'm in my early 20s.

It was enabled on my account, played around for about sixty seconds and knew it wasn't for me.
The compose box is too small, the options too limited. It is supposed to an increase in simplicity, but coming from Google Apps, I would only see it as an increase in headaches.
For some--especially those who rely more on texting, like my decade-younger sister--it might work. But I require more from my messaging client.

I noticed it too. Facebook has set up an e-mail account which allows users to upgrade their messaging system. Thanks for sharing.

I think it's a great step for Facebook. As with anything it's going to take a few trial and errors for them tweet it to the approval level of their users. However, for those who are obsessed Facebook, I see this feature being a huge success.

Last Time
The Gauchos traveled to two meets last weekend--the Stanford Invitational at Stanford and Cal/Nevada at UCLA. The biggest highlight came at Stanford, where Scott Smith broke the UCSB record in the men's 10,000m with his time of 28:35.71. Smith was the first Gaucho to ever break the 29-minute barrier. Danielle Domenichelli nearly broke the UCSB record in the women's 10,000m but fell about six seconds short. She ran 33:29.65, which places her second on the all-time list. Cal/Nevada was highlighted by Jane Doolittle clearing 6'0" in the high jump for the first time in her career, winning the meet in the process.
Mustang Meet
This weekend on Saturday April 3, 2010, the Gauchos will make a short trip north to compete at the Cal Poly Invitational. Field events will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the first track event set to gun-off at 12:15 p.m. The meet is scheduled to run until approximately 4:00 p.m.
Record Caught
Scott Smith broke the UCSB record in the 10,000m this past weekend at the Stanford Invitational. His time of 28:35.71 eclipsed that of Josh Horton, who ran 29:09.85 in 2001. Smith is the first Gaucho to set a record in the men's running events since Mike Chavez (1500m, 3:43.80) and Tetlo Emmen (800m, 1:47.60) set two records in 2007.
Two Gauchos Honored by Big West
The Big West Conference named two Gauchos to the Athlete of the Week honor roll after their performances this past weekend. Danielle Domenichelli shared the women's track athlete of the week award with UC Riverside's Brenda Martinez. Domenichelli ran 33:29.65 in the 10,000m at the Stanford Invitational, moving her up to second on the UCSB all-time list. Jane Doolittle won the women's field athlete of the week award after she took the high jump title at Cal/Nevada. Doolittle cleared six feet (1.83m) for the first time in her career, and is now only half an inch below the UCSB high jump record of 6'0.50" set by Tara Fairfield in 1990.
Take Me To Your Leaders
The Gauchos currently have three athletes who are ranked in the top-5 in their respective events. Scott Smith is the West leader in the 10,000m after his 28:35.71 performance at Stanford. He is also fourth in the 1500m with his time of 3:46.09, set at the USC Invitational. Jane Doolittle is second in the west in the high jump at 6-0 (1.83m), with the leader at 6-3. Danielle Domenichelli is fourth in the 10,000m with her time of 33:29.65 from Stanford.
On The Horizon

Welcome to Electronic House's weekly column dedicated to showcasing the latest and greatest titles now available on Blu-ray and DVD. Although Netflix streaming and similar Video On-Demand (VOD) options are picking up steam, for many of us the act of buying or renting a DVD or Blu-ray Disc is still the preferred method for obtaining our favorite filmed entertainment.
With that in mind, consider this a cheat sheet for the week's new releases. You won't see every new release covered here. Instead, we'll be focusing on just those titles worthy of your hard-earned coin. Slide one will always be my Pick of the Week – if you can only grab one title this week, that's your best bet. At the tail end of the slideshow, you'll find a sneak peek at a major title coming next week, and on occasion a recent release you may have missed.
Feedback is always welcome so please post a comment in case I miss one of your favorites.
What's new on Blu-ray and DVD this week? View the slideshow to find out.

Why Licensing is a Dandy Idea
A couple of days ago, Birth a Miracle Services posted "Why state licensure is not the answer for midwifery," a discussion (of sorts) arguing the point that is, well, in the title of the post.
They (Naomi Kilbreth and Haley Grant) say:
"The assumption is that if a certified or lay midwife is required to be licensed by the state that they will all of a sudden offer better midwifery care, and that they will have better communication with medical care providers, and that they will be held accountable if they practice negligently."
I counter that with:
If state and (hopefully) national licensing becomes standardized and enacted, midwifery as we know it could change dramatically –for the better. Homebirth non-nurse midwifery could, in my opinion, become a far more accepted profession.
The acknowledgement that the safety of moms and babies is much more important than politics and dogma would speak volumes about homebirth non-nurse midwives' motivations and goals.
BaMS continues:
"Licensure of midwives limits them to offer services only to the women AMA paid politicians consider good candidates, which rules out VBAC's at home, and breech and twin births, even if the midwives had decades of experience in these situations."
I'm not sure where the idea came from that politicians decide who the good candidates are for a homebirth or not, but from what I have seen around the country (and I admit I am not an expert on midwifery law in the US), if anyone anti-homebirth is asked to define the scope of practice, it is doctors, not "AMA paid politicians." But, I've seen midwives and consumers also be asked for input. And it doesn't take an Act of Congress to know what the limitations on homebirth midwives would be; even midwives have a pretty clear understanding of what's safe to –and not to- do at home.
If midwives were all licensed, it is my hope that midwives would all operate within the standards of care that were (if I had my dream world realized!) developed by Licensed Midwives (and in conjunction with a couple of Certified Nurse Midwives) and acknowledged (not necessarily accepted) by obstetricians so women outside the standards (or who move outside the standards) are able to, gracefully and politely, slip into the obstetric system with the midwife giving a report that is believed and where women are treated with respect. And, once the glitch in the health of the baby or woman has passed, the obstetrician releases the woman back into the skilled and knowledgeable hands of the midwife.
California Licensed Midwives were integral in the definition of our Standards of Care, including the, arguably, most important section in them, on page eight (emphasis mine):
"Section V, Risk Factors Identified During the Initial Interview or Arising During the Course of Care, Part B, Client's Right to Self-Determination: In recognition of the client's right to refuse that recommendation as well as other risk-reduction measures and medical procedures, the client may, after having been fully informed about the nature of the risk and specific risk-reduction measures available, make a written informed refusal. If the licensed midwife appropriately documents the informed refusal in the client's medical records, the licensed midwife may continue to provide midwifery care to the client consistent with evidenced-based care as identified in this document and the scientific literature."
I remember working on these Standards way back in 2004/2005, how even midwives who never interacted because of personality or practice clashes, worked tirelessly to create these Standards. We understood they would be created with or without our say and input. We also knew they would be binding for years ahead (and they have been). While what we here in San Diego presented to the creation committee was somewhat more liberal than what ended up in the law, we fought hard for the "Client's Right to Self-Determination." It was, for many (if not most) of us a non-negotiable part of what we would agree to. I don't know if any other state has this right to self-determination, but I would beg anyone working on midwifery laws in their state to insist this be a required part of the wording of their law.
What the right to self-determination does is give the woman the control over her own birth. If she is pregnant with twins and wants a homebirth, if her midwife gives her the proper education regarding risks and benefits… true Informed Consent… the woman can decide to continue with the homebirth, either with that midwife or another more experienced midwife, despite what the Standards of Care require. The same with breech births and VBACs. (Although our law does not overtly limit the right to VBAC at home [page seven].)
BaMS makes the oddest claims about why a midwife, without a legal reason to stay within the parameters of safe midwifery, would "keep moms and babies safe."
"If a midwife has her license revoked, she can still practice midwifery if she finds clients willing to accept the risk. In comparison, a non-licensed midwife accused of malpractice will have her face plastered in every anti-homebirth website and may be jailed for "practicing medicine without a license", even though midwifery is not medicine. Either way, licensed or not, a careprovider offering bad care will get a bad rep. Anyone wanting to keep their job is going to practice in a way that will keep their job, aka keep moms and babies safe."
A bad reputation? A bad reputation and the threat of being made a spectacle in the press is supposed to be incentive to keep moms and babies safe? That sure hasn't worked so far!
There are concessions one makes with rules and regulations. Midwifery isn't a profession that believes any mother is a good candidate for a homebirth. Midwifery is an acknowledgement that homebirth is a safe location for low-risk women. And, hard as it is to admit sometimes, we all are pretty clear about what is low-risk and what is not. And when we aren't able to decipher whether someone is low-risk or not, there are studies and even the experiences of others to turn to. It is in that research where we find that vaginal twins and breeches aren't always the lowest of risk for either a homebirth or even a vaginal birth. Certainly medicine believes VBACs don't qualify as low-risk, either, but many midwives and post-cesarean women themselves, disagree. I, myself, would fight for a woman's right to VBAC at home. (Do I believe a VBAC to be low-risk? A low-enough-risk to deliver at home, yes.)
But, doesn't the line have to be drawn somewhere? Aren't there always going to be women just over (or under) the (risk/legal) line that will be left out of the homebirth they're wanting? Is it the midwife's job to please everyone or is it her job to oversee the safest pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum for mom and baby? One of the hardest things a midwife has to do is to say "No" to a woman begging to have a homebirth.
BaMS continues:
"What about the bad birth stories? Yes, what about those stories? They happen far more often in the hospital, but those docs aren't being publicized as negligent. Much of the war against midwives is by a group of people who think they must decide for women that their home is not safe to give birth in."
Instead of discussing the "bad birth stories," BaMS deflects to the too-oft-repeated "It happens in the hospital, too!" This, in my opinion, is not a valid argument. What of the homebirths-gone-wrong? What about the midwives who were negligent and where babies were injured or died? Just because things happen in hospitals doesn't mean we ignore what's happening in our own communities.
BaMS suggests:
"Instead, home birth advocates should spend their time informing the public on how to have a safe home birth, how to find a good midwife, and teach responsible decision making."
It astounds me that this is where they suggest the energies be focused. Not on insisting midwives have more education and training. Not on looking for a way to elevate homebirth midwifery in the eyes of the masses… and the government they so strongly abhor. The government isn't going away. Licensing isn't going away.
Women don't need to be taught how to pick the best midwife if all the midwives have the same education and training. Women don't need to be taught how to have a safe homebirth if the midwife they're hiring understands and is able to provide the safe homebirth a woman expects and deserves. And midwifery advocates should be teaching responsible decision- making!?! Women hire midwives to help them make those decisions. Right or wrong, women depend on the midwife (or other care provider) to know what she's doing and to guide them towards the healthiest and safest birth, whether that's in the home or the hospital.
After Business of Being Born came out, I started seeing more mainstream clients choosing homebirth. My most recent doula and monitrice clients saw BoBB and wanted someone to help guide them through the process, stopping just short of a homebirth. Interestingly, even though they'd been affected by BoBB, they still were reading mainstream books like "What to Expect."
In my experience, mainstream clients don't ask the doctor what school they went to, what training they had or even how many babies they've had die. They don't ask how the grievance process works because all of those things are a given. Their education is standardized, even as each school teaches a little differently. It is understood that each doctor has a level of competence before they ever see their first private client.
It should be that way with midwives, too. Women shouldn't have to learn to ask where a homebirth non-nurse midwife went to school, how she apprenticed or if she's lost any babies. She also shouldn't be baffled by the grievance process, confused at every turn with the midwife-in-question's friends and colleagues in charge of "disciplining" her. Licensing can take care of all these areas.
I'm going to close this part for now. There's more in that blog post I want to address, but this has gotten long enough already. More soon.

You're Still Here!
Somebody comes to Forks that Edward thought should have died a long time ago. How will this new arrival affect the Cullens' and Bella's life? I know it says no spoilers, but there actually are a few. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Twilight characters!
I just thought of this one day and decided it would be cool to write.
1. How Are You Still Here?
Rating 4/5 Word Count 610 Review this Chapter
Edward's P.O.V.
Bella, Alice, and I were sitting at our lunch table. Bella was the only one eating, of course. I was just staring at her while she and Alice carried on a conversation. From the little I tuned in to, it seemed like Alice was trying to get Bella to go shopping with her this weekend. Bella was resisting, not very well though. She was on the verge of giving in. I could tell.
Throughout the day, people had been thinking of some new kids, sisters, that had just started attending the high school. I didn't pay much attention to their thoughts though. After all, why would I care about some new kids. They would probably be just some ordinary students by next week. No big deal. Besides, all I really paid any attention to at school these days were Bella, Alice, and the lessons.
"Come on Bella. Please. Just for a few hours Saturday? Please. Please. Please."
"Ugh. Fine. Just a few hours. But you can't buy me anything. Got that?"
"Where's the fun in that?"
"And you're not dressing me up when we get back."
"Now you've ruined my entire Saturday! Can't I buy you maybe just one or two things?"
"Maybe. I'm not making any guarantees though."
I laughed under my breath. I could not get why Bella was so stubborn about having us buy her stuff. What was the big deal? It's not like we'd go broke or anything. My family was filthy rich. She surprises me so much.
"Edward?" I heard from behind me. Alice, Bella, and I all looked up to see who had called my name. Standing behind me was someone I thought should have died about fifty years ago. She had a little longer than shoulder length, bronze colored hair. She was a little shorter than me. She was wearing a white top and jeans.
"Clara!" I got up and hugged her. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be dead?"
"I was just about to ask you the same thing. I thought you died when the influenza hit Chicago. But obviously, you're not dead. You're a…, well, you know."
"Yeah. I am. My doctor was a, you know. He changed me before I died. What about you? How are you still here?"
"My college dorm room was robbed just about six months after you supposedly died. I was shot. One of the police officers was a, what your doctor was, and saw I wasn't going to survive long. So he changed me."
"Oh my God. This is wonderful." I exclaimed.
"I know. I can't believe this is happening."
Then I noticed that there were two vampires behind her. This must be the new family. I wish I had paid more attention to the peoples' thoughts today. I heard one of them sort of cough to get Clara's attention.
"Oh. How rude of me. I forgot to introduce you to my family. This is Sandra." She pointed to a tall girl with waist length, dirty- blonde hair. She was wearing an off- the- shoulder, maroon, long sleeve top with jeans.
"And this is Karen." Clara pointed to a girl about Alice's height. She was a brunette with shoulder length hair. Karen was wearing a dark purple, button- down top and khaki pants.
"Nice to meet you," I said while shaking both their hands.
"Nice to meet you," the girl known as Karen said.
"Very nice," Sandra added. She smiled at me, so I smiled back.
By this point both Alice and Bella had stood up.
"This is Alice," I told them while motioning to Alice. "She is part of my family."
"And this is Bella, my girlfriend." I said as I put my arm around her waist.
"Alice, Bella, this is Clara, my sister."

text: People are starting to understand that there's a more-thancasual connection between dental health and overall health. Pueblo dentist Dr. William Corley says people are becoming more aware that there's a link between periodontal disease and other diseases such as diabetes, that smoking can harm the mouth as well as the lungs, that a poor diet hurts the teeth and not just the waistline."If a person has gingivitis, it's not just the soft tissues that are affected," Corley says. "There can be so much infection in the gums, you can lose bone. The teeth get loose and then you can lose them." Lost teeth can lead to problems chewing, poor nutrition and unwanted weight loss. An active infection like this isn't isolated in the mouth. "The blood that runs through the gums can run through the heart," Corley says. Radiation treatment to the head or neck can reduce the output of the salivary glands, which in turn can cause dry mouth and lead to what are called radiation caries. That's because the sticky stuff on the teeth becomes harder to remove in the absence of saliva. Dry mouth also can be a side effect of blood pressure medication and antihistamines. With all this opportunity for problems, it's important to take scrupulous care of the teeth. Corley recommends: --Seeing a dentist regularly -- every six months unless there are problems. --Getting periodic dental X-rays as recommended by the dentist. --Having the teeth professionally cleaned. --Getting checked for oral cancer and other problems. "Lumps and bumps, something we can see, or not," Corley says. "Sometimes it's just a discolored area with no real consistency to it. We don't like to see anything that's not typical." --At home, brushing at least twice daily and flossing daily are "absolutely essential." This should be a 5- or 10-minute job, not a quick once-over. If the person is really susceptible to decay, Corley recommends brushing after eating anything. --A prescription fluoride preparation can be beneficial for some people, and Listerine has been shown to be helpful, too. --Don't forget diet.
