YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) Jalen Ross scored 13 points to lead Eastern Michigan to a 58-52 victory over Central Michigan Tuesday night.
Jamell Harris had 11 points and six rebounds and Glenn Bryant had 10 points and five blocked shots for the Eagles (8-9, 1-2 Mid-American), who ended a four-game losing streak.
Eastern Michigan shot 58 percent in the first half in building a 30-19 lead. The Eagles maintained a double-digit lead most of the second half, mostly at the free-throw line where they were 17 of 30 after the break. Finis Craddock's 3-pointer for Central Michigan with 19 seconds left ended the game's scoring.
Oliver Mbaigoto led the Chippewas (8-8, 1-2) with 18 points and 14 rebounds. Kyle Randall scored 13 points and Craddock scored 12, all on 3-pointers. Central took 27 more shots than Eastern but only made three more and finished at 32 percent.

TULSA , Okla.
TODD RUTHERFORD was 7 years old when he first understood the nature of supply and demand. He was with a bunch of other boys, one of whom showed off a copy of
A few years ago, Mr. Rutherford, then in his mid-30s, had another flash of illumination about how scarcity opens the door to opportunity.
He was part of the marketing department of a company that provided services to self-published writers — services that included persuading traditional media and blogs to review the books. It was uphill work. He could churn out press releases all day long, trying to be noticed, but there is only so much space for the umpteenth vampire novel or yet another self-improvement manifesto or one more homespun recollection of times gone by. There were not enough reviewers to go around.
Suddenly it hit him. Instead of trying to cajole others to review a client's work, why not cut out the middleman and write the review himself? Then it would say exactly what the client wanted — that it was a terrific book. A shattering novel. A classic memoir. Will change your life. Lyrical and gripping, Stunning and compelling. Or words to that effect.
In the fall of 2010, Mr. Rutherford started a Web site,
There were immediate complaints in online forums that the service was violating the sacred arm's-length relationship between reviewer and author. But there were also orders, a lot of them. Before he knew it, he was taking in $28,000 a month.
A polite fellow with a rakish goatee and an entrepreneurial bent, Mr. Rutherford has been on the edges of publishing for most of his career. Before working for the self-publishing house, he owned a distributor of inspirational books. Before that, he was sales manager for a religious publishing house. Nothing ever quite worked out as well as he hoped. With the reviews business, though, "it was like I hit the mother lode."
Reviews by ordinary people have become an essential mechanism for selling almost anything online; they are used for resorts, dermatologists, neighborhood restaurants, high-fashion boutiques, churches, parks, astrologers and healers — not to mention products like garbage pails, tweezers,
But not just any kind of review will do. They have to be somewhere between enthusiastic and ecstatic.
"The wheels of online commerce run on positive reviews," said Bing Liu, a data-mining expert at the University of Illinois, Chicago, whose 2008 research showed that 60 percent of the millions of product reviews on
Consumer reviews are powerful because, unlike old-style advertising and marketing, they offer the illusion of truth. They purport to be testimonials of real people, even though some are bought and sold just like everything else on the commercial Internet.
Mr. Liu estimates that about one-third of all consumer reviews on the Internet are fake. Yet it is all but impossible to tell when reviews were written by the marketers or retailers (or by the authors themselves under pseudonyms), by customers (who might get a deal from a merchant for giving a good score) or by a hired third-party service.
The Federal Trade Commission has issued guidelines stating that all online endorsements need to make clear when there is a financial relationship, but enforcement has been minimal and there has been a lot of confusion in the blogosphere over how this affects traditional book reviews.
The tale of
For decades a largely stagnant industry controlled from New York, book publishing is fragmenting and changing at high speed. Twenty percent of Amazon's top-selling e-books are self-published. They do not get to the top without adulation, lots and lots of it.
Mr. Rutherford's insight was that reviews had lost their traditional function. They were no longer there to evaluate the book or even to describe it but simply to vouch for its credibility, the way doctors put their diplomas on examination room walls. A reader hears about a book because an author is promoting it, and then checks it out on Amazon. The reader sees favorable reviews and is reassured that he is not
"I was creating reviews that pointed out the positive things, not the negative things," Mr. Rutherford said. "These were marketing reviews, not editorial reviews."
In essence, they were blurbs, the little puffs on the backs of books in the old days, when all books were physical objects and sold in stores. No one took blurbs very seriously, but books looked naked without them.
One of Mr. Rutherford's clients, who confidently commissioned hundreds of reviews and didn't even require them to be favorable, subsequently became a best seller. This is proof, Mr. Rutherford said, that his notion was correct. Attention, despite being contrived, draws more attention.
The system is enough to make you a little skeptical, which is where Mr. Rutherford finds himself. He is now suspicious of all online reviews — of books or anything else. "When there are 20 positive and one negative, I'm going to go with the negative," he said. "I'm jaded."
Trainloads of Books
"If there was anything the human race had a sufficiency of, a sufficiency and a surfeit, it was books," the
Since then, the pace of production has picked up quite a bit, although it is debatable whether Mr. Mitchell, who died in 1996, would be any more impressed by the quality. There has been a boom in what used to be called vanity publishers, which can efficiently produce physical copies that look just as good as anything from the traditional New York houses. But an even bigger factor is the explosion in electronic publishing. It used to take the same time to produce a book that it does to produce a baby. Now it takes about as long as boiling an egg.
In 2006, before Amazon supercharged electronic publishing with the Kindle, 51,237 self-published titles appeared as physical books, according to the data company Bowker. Last year, Bowker estimates that more than 300,000 self-published titles were issued in either print or digital form.
"I don't know how many people have a book in them trying to get out, but if they do, all the barriers are being removed," said Kelly Gallagher, vice president of Bowker Market Research. "This is a golden age of being able to make yourself more widely known."
In theory, at least, good reviews are proof that a writer is finding his or her way, establishing an audience and has something worthwhile to say. So as soon as new authors confront that imperative line on their Amazon pages — "Be the first to review this item" — the temptation is great for them to start soliciting notices, at first among those closest at hand: family, friends and acquaintances. They want to be told how great they are.
"Nearly all human beings have unrealistically positive self-regard," said Robert I. Sutton, a Stanford professor and the author of several traditionally published books on business
Mr. Sutton's best-known book, about bullies in the workplace, had 110 five-star reviews on Amazon late last week, none of which he paid for but a few of which he says he solicited. He once asked his wife to review one of his books. To his disappointment, she refused.
Mr. Rutherford's customers faced no such setbacks. Mark Husson, author of "LoveScopes: What Astrology Knows About You and the Ones You Love," wrote in an online testimonial about
Peter Biadasz, a writer here in Tulsa, hired GettingBookReviews when he published "Write Your First Book." As a writing coach, he knows all about how writers obsess over bad reviews. "Nobody likes to hear their baby's ugly," he said. Still, he added: "I know the flaws in my book. I know my baby's not perfect."
But it is perfect, according to all 18 reviewers on Amazon, every one of whom gave it five stars.
"For me, it came out very favorably," Mr. Biadasz acknowledged. Most books, he cautioned, will not get such uniformly glowing notices.
This is true. For example, here's a derisive notice, recently posted on Amazon: "I was utterly bored." A second reader offered this: "Mediocre." A third: "This isn't good prose."
All three were offering their opinions of "The Great Gatsby." Quite a few reviews of the book, the
Roland Hughes, another self-published writer, has a theory about this: "Reviews for the established classics tend to come from actual readers."
A computer programmer and novelist based in
His thriller "Infinite Exposure" had an average rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 late last week on
"Some of these review services will actually ensure your title is read by someone who likes your genre of books," he added. "The last thing you want is someone who loves Christian and romance novels reviewing a science-fiction book which has no romance and calls into account the existence of God."
Finding the Reviewers
Traditional journalism jobs may be dwindling, but the Internet offers many new possibilities for writers. As soon as the orders started pouring in, Mr. Rutherford realized that he could not produce all the reviews himself.
How little, he wondered, could he pay freelance reviewers and still satisfy the authors? He figured on $15. He advertised on
Potential reviewers were told that if they felt they could not give a book a five-star review, they should say so and would still be paid half their fee, Mr. Rutherford said. As you might guess, this hardly ever happened.
Amazon and other e-commerce sites have policies against paying for reviews. But Mr. Rutherford did not spend much time worrying about that. "I was just a pure capitalist," he said. Amazon declined to comment.
Mr. Rutherford's busiest reviewer was Brittany Walters-Bearden, now 24, a freelancer who had just returned to the
Ms. Walters-Bearden had the energy of youth and an upbeat attitude. "A lot of the books were trying to prove creationism," she said. "I was like, I don't know where I stand, but they make a solid case."
For a 50-word review, she said she could find "enough information on the Internet so that I didn't need to read anything, really." For a 300-word review, she said, "I spent about 15 minutes reading the book." She wrote three of each every week as well as press releases. In a few months, she earned $12,500.
"There were books I wished I could have gone back and actually read," she said. "But I had to produce 70 pieces of content a week to pay my bills."
An E-Book Best Seller
John Locke started as a door-to-door
Mr. Locke, now 61, has also published a nonfiction book, "How I Sold One Million E-Books in Five Months." One reason for his success was that he priced his novels at 99 cents, which encouraged readers to take a chance on someone they didn't know. Another was his willingness to try to capture readers one at a time through blogging,
"My first marketing goal was to get five five-star reviews," he writes. "That's it. But you know what? It took me almost two months!" In the first nine months of his publishing career, he sold only a few thousand e-books. Then, in December 2010, he suddenly caught on and sold 15,000 e-books.
One thing that made a difference is not mentioned in "How I Sold One Million E-Books." That October, Mr. Locke commissioned Mr. Rutherford to order reviews for him, becoming one of the fledging service's best customers. "I will start with 50 for $1,000, and if it works and if you feel you have enough readers available, I would be glad to order many more," he wrote in an Oct. 13 e-mail to Mr. Rutherford. "I'm ready to roll."
Mr. Locke was secure enough in his talents to say that he did not care what the reviews said. "If someone doesn't like my book," he instructed, "they should feel free to say so." He also asked that the reviewers make their book purchases directly from Amazon, which would then show up as an "Amazon verified purchase" and increase the review's credibility.
In a phone interview from his office in
Many of the 300 reviews he bought through GettingBookReviews were highly favorable, although it's impossible to say whether this was because the reviewers genuinely liked the books, or because of their well-developed tendency toward approval, or some combination of the two.
Mr. Locke is unwilling to say that paying for reviews made a big difference. "Reviews are the smallest piece of being successful," he said. "But it's a lot easier to buy them than cultivating an audience."
Mr. Rutherford, who says he is a little miffed that the novelist never gave him proper
End of a Venture
By early 2011, things were going swimmingly. Mr. Rutherford rented a small office in Tulsa and hired two assistants, including an editor who polished his reviews for $2 each. He had plans for a multimillion-dollar review business that went far beyond just books. But the end was near.
The collapse was hastened by a young
Another issue with Kirkus was that it did not guarantee its review would be positive. Ms. Lorenzana felt she would then be in the position of having spent a bundle just so someone she did not know could insult, belittle or devalue her work. On the Internet, you can usually get someone to do that free.
"You're taking a chance by putting your writing out there — a huge chance," she said. "You want validation that it's not a joke."
When Ms. Lorenzana found
Mr. Rutherford refunded her fee, but his problems were just beginning.
These days, Mr. Rutherford is selling R.V.'s in
Mr. Rutherford tried to start another service, Authors Reviewing Authors — a scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours approach. Authors preferred receiving over giving, however, and that venture failed. Now he is developing a service where, for $99, he blogs and tweets about a book — he has 33,000 Twitter followers — and solicits reviews from bloggers and regular Amazon reviewers. No money is paid to the reviewers, so Google has approved ads for the service.
He says he regrets his venture into what he called "artificially embellished reviews" but argues that the market will take care of the problem of insincere overenthusiasm. "Objective consumers who purchase a book based on positive reviews will end up posting negative reviews if the work is not good," he said.
In other words, the (real) bad reviews will then drive out the (fake) good reviews. This seems to underestimate, however, the powerful motivations that writers have to rack up good reviews — and the ways they have to manipulate them until a better system comes along.
"It's a quagmire," Mr. Rutherford conceded.
A few months ago, he self-published a guide for aspiring authors called "The Publishing Guru on Writing." Late last week, it had one lone review on Amazon, two sentences from someone named Kelly. "Great advice," it read, giving the book five stars and, even more important, that all-important shot of credibility. Mr. Rutherford said he had no idea who Kelly was, but added, "I'm glad she liked it."Continue reading the main story

The Badger is our biggest land predator, a member of the Mustelid family and related to Stoats, Weasels and Otters. The Badger is just as common as the Red Fox, but more nocturnal and elusive in its habits. Badgers live in large family groups in a burrow system known as a 'sett'. An occupied sett can be recognised by the tidy burrow entrances, marked with piles of used bedding (hay and leaves), and by nearby latrine pits where they leave their droppings. They feed on small mammals, ground-nesting birds eggs, earthworms, fruit and roots and bulbs, which they dig up with their strong front paws. Cubs are born in January or February, but spend the first two or three months underground, only emerging in the spring.
How to identify
An unmistakable animal; large and grey, with a short fluffy tail, black belly and paws and the familiar black and white-striped face.
Where to find it
Found throughout England, Wales, most of Scotland except for the far north, and Northern Ireland. Absent from Scottish Islands, the Isle of Man, the Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands.
When to find it

How can people help
Badgers are currently under close scrutiny as carriers and transmitters of Bovine Tuberculosis (bTB) - a disease that affects our cattle. There are calls to cull badgers in areas where bTB is prevalent. But The Wildlife Trusts believe that the scientific evidence available does not support a cull (it would not decrease incidences of bTB transmission from badgers to cattle, but would simply disperse badger populations to the detriment of the countryside) and are urging for vaccinations against bTB to be the way forward. You can help by supporting The Wildlife Trusts' and their campaign.

Pictured: Max Perlman was tagged with the loss Friday night despite not allowing an earned run while striking out six batters in 5.2 innings.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Three early unearned runs hurt the Harvard baseball team in a Friday night game at Wofford, as the Crimson bowed to the Terriers, 5-2 at Russell King Field.
Harvard's (0-5) defense lacked from the outset as the Crimson committed three errors in the first two innings, all leading to unearned runs as Wofford (8-5) took a 3-0 against tough-luck loser Max Perlman (0-2).
Perlman, allowed just one hard hit ball (four hits in all) in his outing as he was otherwise masterful, striking out six batters in the first four innings before the extra pitches forced him form the game with two runners on base in the bottom of the sixth.
Harvard scored an unearned run of its own in the fifth as Jack Colton brought home Jeff Reynolds, who singled sharply to lead off the inning, with a fielder's choice grounder.
The Crimson edged closer with another run in the sixth as Tyler Albright plated Kyle Larrow (walk) with an RBI groundout.
With Harvard trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth, a two-out seeing-eye single and a walk spelled the end of the night for Perlman but Marcus Way stepped in from his designated hitter role to strike out Matt Moore with a vicious breaking ball to keep it a 3-2 game.
In the bottom of the seventh, Will Keuper worked around a pair of one-out singles and a double steal with a huge strikeout of Mac Doyle before coming back from a 3-0 count against cleanup hitter Konstantine Diamaduros to force an inning-ending popup.
Keuper could not work around a leadoff hit batsman and single in the eight however, as Wofford plated a pair of insurance runs on a single and sacrifice fly.
Harvard managed just two hits with Reynolds and Dillon O'Neill proving the safety.

Francis Ford Coppola can add another gold trophy to his collection - and it may be his biggest one yet.
The "Godfather" director accepted a lifetime achievement Oscar - the Irving Talberg Memorial Award - at a Los Angeles ceremony on Saturday, BBC reported.
"I have a great love of the original Hollywood tradition and admiration for the tradition of Irving Thalberg," the celebrated director said in his acceptance speech to an audience of A-list Hollywood actors and big names in the industry.
Star Wars mastermind George Lucas praised the legendary director and producer, calling Coppola "my big brother and my mentor"
"He taught me how to write," Lucas said. "He taught me how to direct. He actually personified a whole era of the American film industry. He was our leader. He was our inspiration."
The prestigious award has only been given out 38 times since it was established in 1937, the BBC reported.
Coppola's impressive accomplishments include 33 titles, such as The Black Stallion (1979), Apocalypse Now, and of course The Godfather Trilogy, which earned him four Oscars. His daughter Sofia, who was also there at the ceremony, scored a nomination for father-daughter collaboration, Lost in Translation (2003).
The honors - normally awarded during the Oscars - were held ahead of the Academy's ceremony on February 27th to speed up the upcoming awards show, according to Reuters.
Other notables who applauded the director at the ceremony were Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, and Robert DiNero.
Trophies were also handed out to director Jean-Luc Godard, actor Eli Wallach, and film historian Kevin Brownlow.

Energy efficiency has been in the spotlight for decades, particularly in regard to buildings, which today account for 42% of the world's energy use. Facility managers use building management systems (BMS) to automate their facilities and gather data about building performance and energy usage. The BMS helps reduce operating and maintenance costs, improve building comfort, and save energy.
Understanding all of the "big data" generated by a modern BMS requires significant training and in-depth knowledge of the facility, combined with tools such as dashboards or analytics, as well as a significant investment in IT. Factors like aging buildings and equipment, reduced budgets, and personnel turnover add to the challenge of harnessing big data to deliver sustainable, high-performance buildings.
Facility managers have a variety of approaches to consider in tackling the "big data" dilemma:
• Custom-built BMS data dashboard solutions let facility managers view performance metrics, manually spot trends, and gather insights, which is effective for simple monitoring. Data dashboards can identify where inefficiencies exist, but don't reveal why, which makes them an imperfect tool for prioritizing maintenance needs to drive better performance. They are expensive to create and maintain and are usually not transferable to other buildings.
• Embedded analytics in the BMS software crunch big data to trend energy and equipment use, identify faults, provide root-cause analysis, and prioritize improvements. This option spotlights both where and why inefficiencies occur so engineers have "actionable" information for troubleshooting and preventive maintenance. It is not widely available.
• Cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) data analytics solutions are an efficient and cost-effective option. SaaS solutions pull data from the BMS and prioritize maintenance based on customer needs. They also enable 24/7 remote access and control, and ensure that budget planning and technology updates are manageable and predictable.• MSaaS (Managed Software as a Service) analytics solutions combine the functionality of the SaaS solution with the oversight of remote engineering experts, who monitor, detect, diagnose, and identify energy savings opportunities. These experts use building data to understand why building issues are happening and deliver recommendations for upgrade, repair, or maintenance based on business priorities. This solution can result in up to 30% reduction in HVAC system energy costs, and it can improve vendor and partner efficiency by consolidating and integrating data from various building systems.
Selecting a cloud-enabled MSaaS solution enables facility managers to:
• better understand how their buildings are performing
• maximize the return on building management and metering investments
• overcome training challenges
• reduce outsourced vendor management and costs.

Screen Rant Contest: Win 'The Walking Dead' Season 1 On Blu-ray(contest ends March 14)
The public has spoken and AMC's The Walking Dead has become a hit for the cable network powerhouse. Each week, millions tune in to watch Sheriff Rick Grimes lead a rag-tag group of survivors into battle with the undead. As this week saw the airing of episode three, it's hard to believe that the first season is now half over.
With only three episodes left, fans are not only excited about what's to come as the season reaches an end, they're also wondering what to expect when the already announced Walking Dead season 2 airs. Unfortunately, as sources within AMC are reporting, The Walking Dead Season 2 won't be airing anytime soon.
Continuing the same promotional platform that saw the The Walking Dead soar in the ratings with its series premiere, AMC intends on delaying the second season premiere of their zombirific series until next year's Fearfest, AMC's annual horror movie marathon. To put it simply: you're going to have to wait until October 2011 for the second season premiere of The Walking Dead.
Typically, with cable networks, they will wait until the summer to air their original series. With most network series on hiatus, and viewers looking for new programming to watch, cable television has been able to thrive with this counter-programming formula. Fortunately, The Walking Dead has become an exception to that rule and has been able to garner respectable ratings, despite having network competition.
With AMC having to premiere four shows in total next year, moving one series to the fall will help open up scheduling space for the other series. Considering AMC likes to separate their series premieres and provide individual promotions for each show, this year-long delay in The Walking Dead plays to the network's strengths, even if it will annoy the fans.
Officially, AMC has not released any information regarding the second season premiere of The Walking Dead and won't for a while. That being said, the plan to air season 2 in October 2011 is being circulated internally within the network.
The Walking Dead airs Sundays @10pm, on AMC

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

When nine-year-old Brit Martha Payne first started her Never Seconds blog back in April, she could never have imagined what a stir it would cause.
The blog is a record of Martha's lunches at her school in Scotland, with each post comprising a photo, some comments and a rating based on taste and healthiness. Adding a bit of humor, she also lists how many "pieces of hair" she finds in each meal. Her school had given her permission to go ahead with the blog.
While some of Martha's lunches look rather tasty, it has to be said that a fair few look a little on the sad side.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, known as much for his campaigns to improve school meals as for his culinary skills, introduced Martha's blog a wider audience last month when he tweeted to his millions of followers, "Shocking but inspirational blog. Keep going. Big love from Jamie x."
A big part of the blog also involves Martha's efforts to raise money for charity Mary's Meals, an international movement which helps set up school feeding projects in some of the world's poorest communities.
However, despite Martha's honest food-related comments — both good and bad — her local council this week decided to ban her from taking any more photographs of the meals.
"The photographic images uploaded appear to only represent a fraction of the choices available to pupils," it said in a statement, "so a decision has been made by the council to stop photos being taken in the school canteen."
The council also claimed some of the catering staff at the school were worried they might lose their jobs after an article with the headline 'Time to fire the dinner ladies' appeared in the Scottish Daily Record newspaper.
On Thursday, Martha posted an entry on her blog about what had happened:
This morning in maths I got taken out of class by my head teacher and taken to her office. I was told that I could not take any more photos of my school dinners because of a headline in a newspaper today.
I only write my blog not newspapers and I am sad I am no longer allowed to take photos. I will miss sharing and rating my school dinners and I'll miss seeing the dinners you send me too. I don't think I will be able to finish raising enough money for a kitchen for Mary's Meals either.
Goodbye, VEG
You can probably guess what happened next. Users of social networking sites weighed in, demanding the ban be overturned. A local lawmaker joined in too, calling the decision "daft." Even Jamie Oliver returned to the fray, tweeting, "Stay strong Martha", before urging his army of followers to retweet the message.
It was all starting to get rather serious. Meetings were arranged between the council and Martha's father, while reports emerged of the catering staff being reduced to tears over the news coverage. By the middle of Friday, however, the council announced it had reversed its decision.
"It is a good thing to do, to change your mind, and I have certainly done that," council leader Roddy McCuish told the BBC.
Martha was understandably overjoyed about the council's U-turn, blogging, "Thanks to everyone that has helped to get my blog back on track. I would have missed writing it a lot and I'm looking forward to sharing my dinners and yours."
One of the happy results of all the publicity is that donations through the schoolgirl's blog to the Mary's Meals charity have skyrocketed this week.
And would you believe, Martha's efforts also appear to have had an effect on the quality of the dishes served at her school. "I've been following this blog since the third entry and I have to say I've noticed a vast improvement in the meals," a commenter wrote on the BBC website.

Vestal, N.Y.-The seventh-ranked UMBC Retrievers extended their unbeaten streak to five, but could not dent the Binghamton net and the two America East squads played to a 0-0 double overtime draw in chilly conditions at the BU Sports Complex.
UMBC set a new school record by extending its road unbeaten streak to nine straight games (6-0-3) dating back to 2012. The Retrievers are now 12-1-2 on the season and 3-0-2 in America East play, while Binghamton is 3-8-5, 1-1-3.
UMBC remained in first place in the America East Conference as second-place UNH fell, 2-1, in double overtime at Albany.
The Retrievers badly outshot the Bearcats, 16-6, and played most of the final 65 minutes in Binghamton territory.
UMBC had several chances in the dying minutes of regulation, but the best opportunity to end the contest occurred late in the first overtime period. Senior midfielder Kadeem Dacres (Rosedale, N.Y./Mercer County CC) took a shot from the right wing, which was stopped by Bearcat netminder Stefano Frantellizzi, but the rebound came to the foot of junior linemate Geaton Caltabiano (Lothian, Md./Mount St. Joseph). Caltabiano quickly took the seven-yard attempt, but Frantellizzi made the second save.
Retriever netminder Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) recorded his second consecutive shutout and the 21st of his career. He made a pair of saves, both in the first half.
For the sixth consecutive game, UMBC went to halftime in a scoreless tie. The Retrievers nearly got on the board in the third minute, as a Retriever direct kick glanced off a BU defender and hit the crossbar.
The Bearcats, who were celebrating their Senior Night, tested Saunders in the 17th minute, as the UMBC netminder dove to his right to make a save on a Steven Celeste header.
But the second half and overtime sessions belonged to the Retrievers. With 25 minutes remaining, senior forward Pete Caringi's (Perry Hall ,Md./Calvert Hall) volley off a corner kick was rejected by Frantellizzi on the goal line.
Dacres' effort from 25 yards out was also on target, but stopped with two minutes to play and sophomore reserve midfielder Michael Scott (Fife, Scotland) missed on sliding effort in the box with 75 seconds to go.
The Retrievers are 8-0-3 in their last 11 contests vs. America East opponents.
UMBC returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 2 when they visit America East newcomer

Kim Yuna leaves for her first competition of the season, the Golden Spin of ZagrebIlgan Sports/Segye Ilbo | Kim Ji-Han/Park Tae-Hoon | 2013.12.03Kim Yuna left for Zagreb, Croatia for her 'final rehearsal' before the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.The following is Kim's question and answer session.Q: How do you feel now that you are leaving for a competition?▶Kim: I started the Olympic season late. So I tried to be more thorough.My main goal is perform well rather than being focused on results, because this is the first time skating to my new programs in competition.And I would also like to check the levels on details of my program.I was able to train more ease and a lighter heart because the Golden Spin is not as big as the Grand Prix Finals.Q: At the 'Olympic D-100 Media Day' you said that your physical condition was up to 70%. What about now?▶Kim: What I meant by 70%, was that my goal was to reach 100% by the Olympics.Even though I did have an injury I have been preparing for the Games since the last World championships ended.I think my condition is up to 80~90%.I need to increase my stamina further for the Olympics.Q: How do you feel starting off the Olympic season?▶Kim: Well it is the Olympic season and also my final season so I feel light hearted.To be frank, I am greedy about results because I have already achieved my dream of winning the Olympic gold medal.So I believe that I will be able to skate with my heart at ease.But right now I am trying to focus on this competition and not the Olympics.Q: Can you tell us about your choreography or jump layout or costumes?▶Kim: My new programs…..(long pause) I don't know. (laughs) The jump layout is almost the same.And the costumes…will be revealed when the competition starts in Croatia.Q: Recently Mao Asada said that she was able to grow further because of you.▶Kim: I agree with her. We've been compared to each other since we were in juniors and there was a rivalry between us.However, I could not have become who I am today if Asada had not been there.Even though we would have liked to avoid each other, it was also motivating.I presume that this will be the Asada's last season.We both have always trained hard and I hope that both of us can end our final season well without leaving any regrets.Q: How is far along are your programs?▶Kim: There are no problems because of my injury.Even though I did take some time off, it doesn't mean that I forgot my programs so there aren't any problems.But my stamina isn't perfect yet. It hasn't been that long since I built up my current level of stamina.I am currently working to maintain that level.In order to do well in competition, stamina is important.Since this is my first competition of the season, my goal is to skate calmly.Q: Since you've started off the Olympic season, what do you think you need to work on more?▶Kim: Well, having competed in so many competitions I don't feel as burdened as I used to feel in the past.However, I think it is important to find a way to become even more calmer though experience.Q: It's been 10 years since you last competed in Croatia.▶Kim: I remember competing in Croatia when I was in middle school.I was a novice then and now I am an old timer headed for retirement. (laughs) So it is quite special.Even though it's a small competition there will be skaters such as Ando Miki who I have competed with numerous timesand a new star from Russia (Elizaveta Tuktamysheva) so I think I will be able to compete with a bit more tension.Q: How do you feel going into competition?▶Kim: I am a bit worried because it is my first competition of the season.But I will do my best to empty my mind, try not to get to ahead of myself, and skate calmly.Q: Do you have any words of advice for the young Korean skaters(Kim Hae-Jin, Park So-Yeon)who will be going to the Olympics with you?▶Kim: Participating in the Games itself is very meaningful.Since both are young skaters, even just skating at the Olympics will be a meaningful experience for them.Of course it would be great if they have good results.But I wish they can enjoy skating at the Games without being too burdened by expectations.If they do so, good results will naturally follow.

Gylfi Sigurdsson completes Swansea move as Ben Davies and Michel Vorm move in the other direction
Swansea have confirmed the signing of Gylfi Sigurdsson from Tottenham and the sale of Ben Davies and Michel Vorm to the north London club for undisclosed fees.
Sigurdsson returns to Swansea where he enjoyed a successful loan spell in 2012, scoring seven goals in 18 top-flight appearances.
Davies, 21, has signed a five-year contract at White Hart Lane while Vorm, 30, has penned a four-year deal.
Sigurdsson joined Spurs from Hoffenheim in July 2012 but struggled to establish himself in the starting side.
Swansea City are delighted to announce the signing of Gylfi Sigurdsson from @SpursOfficial #WelcomeBackGylfi pic.twitter.com/ZIh7uakaM0— Swansea City FC (@SwansOfficial) July 23, 2014
The Iceland midfielder has signed a four-year contract and says he wants to help Swansea back into Europe next season.
"The main aim for the club is obviously to stay in the Premier League but we want to push on even further and get the club back into the Europa League like they were last season," Sigurdsson told Sky Sports News.
"Hopefully we can finish in the top half of the table."
Sigurdsson continued: "I really enjoyed my time here last time.
"I know the club, I know the manager, I know the players and I obviously know the fans and the city as well so that wasn't that difficult for me.
"Leaving Tottenham is because I enjoyed my time there as well for two seasons but Swansea were interested and that's the club I want to play for."
Crystal Palace were reported to have had a bid accepted for Sigurdsson but the playmaker insists Swansea's style of football persuaded him to choose the Welsh club.
"The way they play football was a big factor," he said.
"They've got some great players here.
"Hopefully we'll be a lot better than we were last season and get back to the top half of the table where Swansea belong."
Sigurdsson is Swansea's fifth signing of the summer after Bafetimbi Gomis, Marvin Emnes, Lukasz Fabianski and Stephen Kingsley already joined Garry Monk's squad.
For Tottenham, Davies and Vorm are the club's only arrivals of the window so far and Mauricio Pochettino's first acquisitions since taking charge.
Davies earned a professional contract with Swansea in 2011 and has impressed in the first team, winning the club's Young Player of the Year award for the past two seasons.
Tottenham had to fight off competition from Liverpool to land the young full-back, who has also earned 10 caps for Wales.
Davies' arrival brings into question the future of Danny Rose, who said at the start of last season he would not be happy sitting on the bench at White Hart Lane.
Dutch goalkeeper Vorm also faces a battle for first-team football under Pochettino, with Hugo Lloris already well-established between the sticks at White Hart Lane.
Lloris was one of Tottenham's star performers last term and the France captain signed a new five-year contract at the club earlier this month.
Vorm, who is likely to be used more in cup competitions, moved to Swansea in August 2011.
He enjoyed an impressive debut campaign, winning the Supporters' Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards.
Vorm made 97 appearances at the Liberty Stadium and was also part of Holland's World Cup squad in Brazil this summer.

BALTIMORE—The UMBC men's and women's track and field teams travel to Boston, Mass. this weekend to compete in the 2011 America East Championships at the Boston University Track and Tennis Cennter. At last year's conference meet, the men placed third, while the women finished fifth.
The men are led by senior Keith Onto (Point Pleasant, N.J./Point Pleasant Boro/St. Francis (PA)), who is the school record holder in the heptathlon and has the best score in the conference so far this season with 5,194 points. Another school recorder, junior Joshua Hewitson (New Market, Md./Linganore) is seeded second in the conference in the 500-meter dash with a time of 1:03.78.
Sophomore Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) and senior Keith Brown (Columbia, Md./McDonough) are vying for medals in the 55-meter hurdles, seeded second and third this year, respectively, while junior Aaron Brooks (Upper Marlboro, Md./Dematha) is seeded third in the shot put with a throw of 15.39m. Sophomore transfer Shioma Obemeata (New Rochelle, N.Y./Iona Preparatory/St. Francis College) will look for a medal in his first America East meet in the triple jump, an event he is ranked second this season with a leap of 14.25m.
On the women's side, sophomore Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) will be looking to defend her shot put crown and look to medal once again in the weight throw. Senior Sara Parkinson (Chorley, England/Loughborough University) will also be looking to defend her 5,000-meter run title after breaking the school record at last year's conference meet in a time of 16:47.69.
Sophomore Chowan Brightful (New Market, Md./Linganore) broke the school record in the pentathlon earlier in the year at the Penn State National Invitational with a score of 3,227 points and is ranked second in the conference. Freshman Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) will be looking to medal in her first America East meet in the 400-meter dash, while junior Imani Colbert (Upper Marlboro, Md./C.H. Flowers) will be looking to earn a medal in the 55-meter hurdles after earning bronze a year ago.
The action begins both Friday with the heptathlon and pentathlon events, while the rest of the action starts at 3 p.m. Saturday's action begins at 10 a.m.

The region's worst freeway bottleneck in 2012 remained — for the fourth year in a row — the Barham Drive backup on state Route 78 in North County, according to a U-T San Diego analysis of traffic data.
But there's hope for this 4.4-mile titan of tie-ups: New merging lanes are set to open in April on Route 78 through San Marcos. The change could end the bottleneck's reign as the most severe in the county, though transportation officials declined to make specific predictions.
The new lanes west of Interstate 15 are "going to help tremendously," Gustavo Dallarda of the
Gone from the Top 10 list of worst bottlenecks is any mention of Interstate 15, historically one of the most clogged corridors in the county. The $1 billion I-15 express lanes project gets the credit for moving that freeway off the list.
Other familiar stretches of congestion continued — on interstates 5 and 805 and state routes 56 and 163, to the bane of coastal and central San Diego commuters. Two traffic crunches on state Route 52 made the list as well.
A newcomer to the Top 10 is a backcountry bottleneck at state Route 67 and Mussey Grade Road. That's not because this area of gridlock in Ramona suddenly materialized. Instead, Caltrans installed traffic sensors on the highway last summer, giving the agency its first true measure of the rural tie-up.
This fifth annual U-T list was based on data from the Caltrans Performance Monitoring System, which uses various sensor tools to monitor traffic on more than 2,000 miles of roads in the county.
For purposes of its database, Caltrans defines a bottleneck as "a regularly occurring delay at a specific location due mostly to problems in the roadway design or cars entering the flow of traffic."
Significant drops in speed between detectors embedded in the road — at least 20 mph and to a speed of less than 40 mph — trigger a bottleneck flag.
The worst bottlenecks are measured using their "total delay" in vehicle hours.
Barham at Route 78 led to a whopping 436,261 hours of delay in 2012, an increase of 23 percent from the previous year. That bottleneck far outpaced the runner-up: I-805 at Nobel Drive, which sucked away 318,443 hours.
Local transportation officials said there's relief ahead for some of the region's stubborn backups, including new lanes under construction on stretches of I-805 near Chula Vista and La Jolla.
Improvements are planned for other bottlenecks, but they're still years away from completion. Those include I-5 in North County, where construction of new express lanes won't start until 2015 at the earliest.
For big-picture perspective, consider that congestion on Los Angeles freeways is far worse than in San Diego County. For example, one bottleneck on Interstate 405 near Sunset Boulevard stretches for nearly 10 miles and costs drivers 647,419 hours of delay.
Top 10 worst bottlenecks in 2012
1) State Route 78 at Barham Drive — eastbound, afternoon
The Barham backup was the bottleneck king for the fourth straight year. Even with new merging lanes set to open in April near Nordahl Road in San Marcos, don't expect all the gridlock to disappear. That won't happen, transportation officials said, until carpool lanes are added by 2020.
2) Interstate 805 at Nobel Drive — southbound, afternoon
This La Jolla area headache moved up three slots last year. But relief is on the way: Two I-805 carpool lanes are expected to open this summer from Carroll Canyon Road to Interstate 5. And construction started this week on a stretch of carpool lanes just to the south, from Mira Mesa Boulevard south to state Route 52.
3) Interstate 805 at Clairemont Mesa Boulevard — northbound, morning
It dropped a notch, but this was still the region's worst morning-rush bottleneck. Carpool lanes are being built or nearly finished a few miles north and south of Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, but there's no improvement pinpointed for this I-805 crush.
4) Interstate 5 at Lomas Santa Fe — northbound, afternoon
This Solana Beach slowdown fell out of the Top 10 list after carpool lanes opened in 2008. But it has returned for the second straight year, and I-5 expansion won't start until at least 2015.
5) State Route 56 at Carmel Country Road — eastbound, afternoon
This Carmel Valley crawl has grown: It was No. 20 in 2009. The lack of direct ramps between I-5 and Route 56 is a big cause of the congestion. Caltrans is exploring ways to add direct ramps and more merging lanes nearby, but construction wouldn't start until 2020 at the earliest.
6) State Route 163 at Robinson Avenue — southbound, afternoon
Traffic narrows from four lanes to two on this old highway through Balboa Park, which is used heavily by commuters headed to downtown San Diego. There are no plans, or room, for freeway expansion, officials said. This bottleneck moved up two places in 2012.
7) State Route 163 at Robinson Avenue — northbound, afternoon
Commuters clog both sides of Route 163 in the afternoon, creating northbound misery on this stretch, too. At least it's a scenic drive.
8) Interstate 5 at La Jolla Parkway/state Route 52 — southbound, afternoon
Beachgoers and shoppers heading to La Jolla tussled for space with other drivers on I-5 at this bottleneck, which is new to the Top 10 list. Future I-5 expansion will start two miles north of this chokepoint at La Jolla Village Drive.
9) State Route 52 at Santo Road — eastbound, afternoon
This stretch in Tierrasanta clogged traffic moving toward East County's suburbs for 90 percent of work days last year. There's more traffic on Route 52 these days because of the recent extension to Route 67 through Santee. This bottleneck is new to the Top 10 list.
10) State Route 67 at Mussey Grade Road — northbound, afternoon
This backcountry bottleneck came in at No. 10. Commuters in Ramona and points east have dreaded the gridlock here for years, but it wasn't until last summer that Caltrans installed traffic sensors along Route 67 at Mussey Grade. The agency is studying long-term plans to improve Dye Road at Route 67, just north of Mussey Grade.

DELAND, Fla.—The Birmingham-Southern football team racked up nearly 500 total yards en route to a 49-34 win on the road against NCAA Division I-AA Stetson, Saturday evening at Spec Martin Stadium in DeLand, Fla.
BSC moves to 3-0, while the Hatters fall to 1-2. It was the first meeting between the schools, as Stetson's team is in its first season since the program was discontinued in 1957.
The Hatters got on the board first in the game at the 12:22 mark of the first quarter with a one-yard pass from Ryan Tentler to Taylor Dunn, but BSC responded six minutes later on a 29-yard rush by senior Joe Moultrie, and then again five minutes after that on a 28-yard pass from senior quarterback Tyson Beacham to senior Tyler Johnson. Both of senior Ryan Laughlin's extra points were good to put the Panthers up 14-7 after the first quarter.
Stetson tied it up early in the second quarter, but the Panthers pulled back ahead at the 7:22 mark of the second quarter on a fumble return by freshman defensive back Sidarius Gotell. The teams traded touchdowns again after that, with junior Issac Nichols making a 61-yard run at the 2:16 mark to put BSC up 28-21. The Hatters found the end zone again before halftime, returning an interception to tie it up 28-28.
The Panthers returned another fumble for a score at the 5:23 mark of the third quarter, as junior linebacker Zac Phillips scooped and scored to put BSC ahead yet again, 35-28. Less than two minutes later, the Hatters got in on the action, scoring off a fumble recovery to attempt to tie it up for the fifth time. Their attempt was foiled, however, as junior Paden Gaines blocked the extra point to preserve the BSC lead, 35-34, heading into the fourth quarter.
BSC put up two more touchdowns, both unanswered, in the fourth, as Nichols scored on a three-yard scamper at the 10:47 mark, and junior Sam Vermilyea scored on a 49-yard catch from Beacham.
Panther kickers were successful on all seven extra points—six were by Laughlin and the other was made by senior Grant Talbert—although Laughlin missed a field goal attempt in the second quarter.
Beacham was 18-32 with 206 yards and two touchdowns, as well as two picks, and Nichols led with 201 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 27 carries. Junior Michael Cowan led the receivers with 78 yards receiving on seven catches.
The Panther defense had five interceptions, led by junior William Weller with two. Senior linebacker Cameron Budzius led with nine tackles, all solo.
BSC had 487 total offensive yards to Stetson's 392, with 266 rushing and 221 passing. First downs were even at 21 for each team, and the Panthers had four fumbles to the Hatters' three. BSC also held onto the ball a full 10 minutes more than Stetson.
The Panthers return home next weekend, playing host to No. 5 Wesley at 1 p.m. on Battle Field at Panther Stadium.
