Recently, I've come to prefer mapping 1-1 relationships using
Dictionaries instead of
Switch statements. I find it to be a little faster to write and easier to mentally process. Unfortunately, when mapping to a new instance of an object, I don't want to define it like this:
var fooDict = new Dictionary<int, IBigObject>()
{ 0, new Foo() }, // Creates an instance of Foo
{ 1, new Bar() }, // Creates an instance of Bar
{ 2, new Baz() } // Creates an instance of Baz
var quux = fooDict[0]; // quux references Foo
Given that construct, I've wasted CPU cycles and memory creating 3 objects, doing whatever their constructors might contain, and only ended up using one of them. I also believe that mapping other objects to
fooDict[0] in this case will cause them to reference the same thing, rather than creating a new instance of
Foo as intended. A solution would be to use a lambda instead:
var fooDict = new Dictionary<int, Func<IBigObject>>()
{ 0, () => new Foo() }, // Returns a new instance of Foo when invoked
{ 1, () => new Bar() }, // Ditto Bar
{ 2, () => new Baz() } // Ditto Baz
var quux = fooDict[0](); // equivalent to saying 'var quux = new Foo();'
Is this getting to a point where it's too confusing? It's easy to miss that
() on the end. Or is mapping to a function/expression a fairly common practice? The alternative would be to use a switch:
IBigObject quux;
case 0: quux = new Foo(); break;
case 1: quux = new Bar(); break;
case 2: quux = new Baz(); break;
Which invocation is more acceptable?
- Dictionary, for faster lookups and fewer keywords (case and break)
- Switch: More commonly found in code, doesn't require the use of a Func<> object for indirection.

Europeans, U.S. differ
over safety of Ranbaxy facility
Send a link to a friend
[June 06, 2014]
By Toni Clarke
(Reuters) - European
regulators said on Thursday they have completed their
assessment of drug manufacturing violations at Ranbaxy
Laboratories Ltd's facility in Toansa, India, and
although deficiencies were found, they pose no risk to
public health.
The regulators said they were satisfied by corrective measures put
in place by the company after U.S. regulators found deviations in
The assessment stands in stark contrast to the response of U.S.
regulators to the deficiencies found at the plant. The Food and Drug
Administration barred Ranbaxy from making and selling pharmaceutical
ingredients from the Toansa facility "to prevent substandard quality
products from reaching U.S. consumers."
Ranbaxy is in the process of being acquired by Indian-based Sun
Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd for $3.2 billion. In March the FDA
banned imports from Sun's plant at Karkhadi.
G.N. Singh, the Drugs Controller General of India, did not respond
to a call for comment made after business hours, but some experts
said they expect India to use the split between Europe and the
United States to validate their claims that the U.S. is being too
harsh on Indian drug companies.
"In that sense I see this as being very negative," said Roger Bate,
economist at the American Enterprise Institute. "It would have been
far more useful if Europe and the U.S. had walked the same line."
The U.S. ban on products from the Toansa facility is part of a
broader crackdown by the U.S. regulator on substandard generic drugs
from India. Toansa became the fourth Ranbaxy plant whose products
were barred from the United States.
Following FDA's Toansa inspection, European regulators sent a team
of inspectors from Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom, who were
joined by inspectors from Switzerland and Australia, the European
Medicines Agency (EMA) said.
"The inspection team concluded that there was no evidence that any
medicines on the EU market that have an active pharmaceutical
ingredient manufactured in Toansa were of unacceptable quality or
presented a risk to the health of patients taking them," the agency
"This conclusion was supported by tests of samples of these
medicines, all of which met the correct quality specifications."
[to top of second column]
Still, the EMA said European authorities "have identified the need
to keep the Toansa site under close supervision and this will be
done in collaboration with India and other regulatory authorities
around the globe."
A spokesman for Ranbaxy had no immediate comment.
The FDA said it will not lift its ban on Ranbaxy until it is
satisfied the products meet quality standards.
"EMA and FDA inspected the Toansa facility using similar quality
standards and underlying principles of current good manufacturing
practices," the FDA said in a statement. "Both regulators identified
significant manufacturing and other violations that needed to be
addressed, and both placed restrictions on the Toansa facility."
While inspections were similar, the FDA said, the two regulatory
authorities applied their own, differing, regulatory and legal
standards to address the violations.

Earlier this year in January 2010, the Chanel Soho boutique was tagged with pink spray paint. Last week, the Chanel Soho boutique re-opened on Fashion's Night Out. As part of the festivities, and to avoid cluttering the newly designed shop, two temporary tents were erected at the corner of Wooster & Spring streets. Inside the tents, Chanelphiles were greeted by a digital interactive graffiti where guests were invited to "tag" with Chanel spray cans.
There has been no official word on what inspired the digital graffiti but my hunch is that Uncle Karl took some inspiration from the real vandalism that occurred at the Soho boutique and elevated it to a whole new level. It's not the first time that Karl has taken Coco Chanel's infamous quote to heart and looked to the "streets" for inspiration:
"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
-Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel

Washington (CNN) – A source close to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor tells CNN a staff error is to blame for giving $25,000 to Campaign for Primary Accountability, an anti-incumbent super PAC.
News that the Republican leader gave money to a super PAC dedicated to defeating several of Cantor's rank-and-file Republicans has angered many in the House GOP, and Cantor is now scrambling to explain his actions.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
The source close to Cantor says that Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Illinois, told Cantor that he was giving $25,000 to the super PAC in order to help fellow Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger in his primary fight with another GOP incumbent, and asked Cantor to match it. Cantor agreed, and passed on the directive to his political aides.
"What appears to have happened is the staff didn't vet the group before cutting the check," said the Cantor source. A second Cantor source later told CNN the same thing.
This explanation was first reported by Politico.
Cantor was already making questionable moves for a GOP leader by actively helping Kinzinger, a freshman close to Cantor, in a primary race against 10 term incumbent Don Manzullo.
In fact, the Young Gun Action Fund super PAC - started by former aides to Cantor and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy– ran $50,000 worth of radio ads to help Kinzinger defeat Manzullo.
But giving to the Campaign for Primary Accountability super PAC, which has been actively working to defeat GOP incumbents across the country, has upset House Republicans.
"That is just dangerous ground," one GOP congressman told CNN, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to speak more freely about Cantor.
"This is not what our leadership should be doing, taking out a Republican. I'm looking for words to describe this, it's just really aggressive," said the GOP lawmaker.
One GOP leadership source said Cantor's move could make it even more difficult than it already is to push rank-and-file Republicans to take tough votes on legislation in order to be a "team player" when their leader doesn't appear to be acting like a team player.
"Picking sides in incumbent races doesn't do us as leadership any favors," said the GOP leadership source.
Leo Linbeck, co-founder of Campaign for Primary Accountability, made clear in an interview on CNN's "OutFront" last week that the money Cantor gave went into their general fund used to try to defeat many House Republicans, like Rep. Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania and Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama.
"There's no earmarking of those dollars. They flowed in, we told everyone who the races we are engaging in," said Linbeck.
"We are delighted that the House leadership of the GOP shares our vision of creating real competition for entrenched incumbents. I mean, that's so forward thinking of them. You know, this idea that committee chairs and House leadership ought to actually have to compete for the support of their district. We applaud their foresight," he said.
The source close to Cantor says his staff realized their error in giving to the super PAC before it became public, and began making calls to the some 12 GOP congressmen his donation helped target.
Cantor sources said it's unclear whether he will explain himself more broadly by addressing the full House GOP conference when Congress returns from spring break next week.
The missing word is 'SNAKE"..
Eric Cantor Just LIES ,just like all Republican do.

Mike Gundy says he intends remain at Oklahoma State amid a report that he was offered the Tennessee job.
Gundy said Thursday there was "no question" he planned to stay at his alma mater. The former Cowboys quarterback is the school's winningest coach with an eight-year record of 66-35.
Speaking at a media event promoting the Heart of Dallas Bowl, Gundy also downplayed reports of a strained relationship with Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder. He said it was "a lot better than what people say."
The Cowboys finished 7-5 a year after qualifying for the BCS and beating Stanford 41-38 in overtime in the Fiesta Bowl.
CBS Sports reported that Tennessee had offered Gundy the job. Gundy wouldn't address the Tennessee situation specifically.

Hypochondriacs might be good for everyone's health, to judge from a study that's just been published. The paper describes a computer model of the uptake of vaccinations by a population, and shows that just a few individuals whose fear of the disease prompts them to take a vaccine can trigger others to do the same. As a result the population as a whole is more likely to reach a critical mass of vaccinated people, in other words reach "herd immunity".
With the appearance of potentially fatal infectious diseases such as swine flu and bird flu (H5N1), not to mention the threat of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, forecasting epidemics has become a central concern in modern medicine. It's vital both for developing strategies for mitigation and for assessing the emergency measures that will be needed if a major outbreak occurs.
Time was when modelling epidemics tended to involve rather simple models in which virtual people – or other animals – were situated on a checkerboard-like grid and infected their neighbours. While this basic idea – that you risk catching a disease from others with whom you come into close proximity – remains at the core of all epidemic computer models, these days programmes such as the US National Institutes of Health's Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) make use of extremely sophisticated schemes that try to capture the way real people move around (international travel makes it easy for diseases to hop continents), how they are connected in social networks, and how they make decisions about prevention or avoidance.
The trick with these methods is to not lose sight of the wood for the trees: to distinguish the kinds of things one might expect in the real world from outcomes that just depend on a specific model's details. That's why relatively simple models (albeit complex compared to those a decade or so ago) like the one used by Xiao-Tao Liu of Lanzhou University in China and colleagues are still valuable.
Liu and coworkers say that most epidemiological models tend to assume that people all behave in much the same way, namely that they do what others do. But that may not actually be the case. The researchers propose that a few will be "committed" to vaccination, perhaps because they have a low threshold for feeling at risk (or strongly held convictions), and they will want to be immunised as soon as they hear that someone is infected. If the model of Liu and colleagues stands up, it implies that these committed individuals can have a disproportionate effect, seeding vaccine uptake in others while also disrupting clusters of people forming who reinforce each other's refusal to receive a vaccine.
There are two important messages to take away from a study like this, regardless of whether one thinks the model captures any real-life behaviour. First, epidemic outbreaks may be very sensitive to the details of how we make our choices about health, and in particular how those choices come about through the influence of other people. Second, the outcomes are often non-intuitive: you'd never guess, by looking at the decision-making rules alone, what the overall outcome might be.
Precarious balance
The basic problem for vaccination programmes is that of the free-rider. If there's an individual cost to vaccination, whether it is inconvenience or a perceived risk of the vaccine itself, people might opt not to get vaccinated themselves but to count on the protection that comes from everyone else doing so. If too many people do this, the herd immunity crumbles and the whole population stands at risk – as seemed to be happening during the scare over the (spurious) link of the MMR vaccine to autism.
An earlier study of vaccination behaviour, in which people were assumed to imitate others who adopted "successful" strategies, predicted that the proportion of a population that takes a vaccine could oscillate over time – first high, then low, and so on. Such oscillations are often a sign of a precarious balance of influences, which push the system first one way and then the other. You find them, for example, in the interdependence of predators and their prey in ecology, or in traffic flow, where they might lead to a jam. In such cases, small influences can have disproportionately big effects. That's one reason why Liu and colleagues wondered whether individuals committed to vaccination might affect the overall behaviour markedly even if they were few in number.
In the researchers' model, each individual (called an agent) decides whether to vaccinate or not in successive "rounds" of decision, which can correspond for example to successive "flu seasons". This choice is made after seeing the outcomes of decisions made both by oneself and one's immediate neighbours. If, for example, you didn't vaccinate and did get infected, then in the next round you might copy someone who did get vaccinated.
But there is also a certain fraction of agents dispersed through the population that is always committed to vaccination. The researchers find that even a relatively small proportion of these agents (say, 5-10%) can significantly reduce the scale of an epidemic. What's more, the effect is much stronger when all the agents are assigned specific locations on a checkerboard array – that is, in each round they "meet" the same the people they interact with regularly, like we do in reality – rather than being randomly reshuffled into a homogeneous mixture. Above a certain threshold proportion of committed agents, an epidemic can be confined to patches, rather than spreading through the whole population. And the committed agents can disrupt the appearance of clusters of free-riders, which might otherwise seed the emergence of a global epidemic.
Do such committed individuals really exist, though? It seems plausible, but Liu's colleague Zhi-Xi Wu at Lanzhou admits it is still a supposition. However, if they do then the results imply that they can act as influential "role models" for others, and are most effective if they are dispersed quite uniformly in the population. The same should apply to other behaviours: a few committed individuals who always practice safe sex might limit the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and perhaps even non-medically-related behaviours such as responsible energy use and recycling could be propagated this way – not just among individuals but, say, businesses too. That could be an empowering message: one all too often hears the lament that individuals can't make much difference to the world, but the power of social feedback implies that you might have more influence than you think.

When I showed these photos of a Chinese Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 clone to Mike Spinelli here at Jalopnik, his first response was "Oh, a new color!" He had no idea it was fake. And he's driven one. That's because this Fauxborghini is just that good.
What you see here is a staggering result of clone-making genius created by a hair salon owner in the Chinese city of Kunming who decided he absolutely must have the latest Lambo flagship, but wasn't on the company's list of premier buyers.
Underneath the perfectly stamped and riveted unpainted iron (carbon fiber's expensive) sits what we knew as the Infiniti I30 with a peppy 2.0-liter turbo engine. So, you know, performance should be similar. And it only cost the guy about $14,000 to build, although he still needs paint/glass/lights.
Lamborghini better sue this fella before others take his lead and build similar perfect copies.

First day at Open Hard- and Software Workshop in Munich
Yesterday was the first day of two of the Open Hard- and Software Workshop (www.ohsw.de) in Munich. My first reason to attend it, was to meet the guys from the GTA04 project again. But now I am presentating my LCD Multitouch table there.
The day started with a presentation of Nikolaus Schaller about the status of the GTA04 project.
After him, I had my presentation. You find the slides here: OHSW Präsentation MultiTouch Couch Tisch.
There will be also a video of it, but I didn't looked at it to see how good it is. If it is ok, I will upload it to Youtube.
At the afternoon, we also saw a presentation about SHR, the programming language Vala and an extension board for the Freerunner for RFID/NFC.
In the evening we sat together and had nice chats about various open source topics.
Let's have a look, what the second day will bring.
New Video of Multitouch Couch Table
In preperation for the Open Hard- and Software Workshop (www.ohsw.de) in Munich on 2nd-4th December I created a new video of my multitouch couch table.
This time it runs Bodhi Linux 1.2.0
The disappearing PS3Eye
If you have the situation that after some minutes of inactivity the webcam disappears from your system (not displayed on lsusb), deactivate the usb powermanagement.
To do this make following: echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb[bus of usb port]/power/control
This blog post was entered on my multitouch couch table. 😉
Forgotten promised Win8 Multitouch video
I recognized that I promised a video of Windows 8 in multitouch action.

Recognizing the importance of travel and international study, Maryville College has created a comprehensive study abroad program that provides students with the unique opportunity to broaden their perspectives by confronting other cultures and viewpoints, learning about customs and practices of other societies, and coping with unfamiliar surroundings in a language other than their native tongue.
All students accepted into the MC Study Abroad Program have received a paper copy of this handbook, but for convenience, an electronic version follows.
A range of opportunities is available for study abroad at any time after freshman year, but most students find the junior year or the preceding summer the most appropriate. Planning must be started well in advance and is best done in close consultation with the faculty chair of the International Programming Committee, which has set guidelines for GPA requirements, academic standards and financial aid.
Important: Meet with your academic advisor soon after approval to discuss courses that you may need while abroad, your schedule when you return, and your progress towards graduation.
As you prepare to go abroad, it is important to consider how your grades will transfer upon return. All courses in MC-approved study abroad programs will transfer as credit and will be counted in your GPA. You can obtain information about specific courses offered at your exchange site either through the faculty contact person for that site or the website of the institution. Please be flexible as particular sites may not have the exact courses you need. Course substitutions should ideally be worked out prior to your departure. MC students should pre-register at MC for 15 credit hours of Overseas Study Credit (OVSOVS001) for the semester(s) spent abroad at the Exchange site. When your transcript arrives with your course grades from the host institution, your MC transcript will be adjusted accordingly for that semester(s).
It is important to spend time preparing for your time abroad. You will be away for 4-10 months and life does go on back home. A few matters taken care of before you depart will save you much time communicating with home or returning to problems. This Study Abroad Handbook will help outline some of the tasks you need to take care of before departing on your study abroad program.

Fiat Introduces Some Friendly Sisters For Their 2013 Super Bowl Commercial
There's a lot to be learned from this commercial from Fiat slated for the 2013 Super Bowl. For example, Fiats have trunks now.
You can drive yourself and four of your friends to a white party, because the car is apparently comfortable enough that you won't sweat through your outfit. Or possibly the air conditioner works really well — it's not entirely clear. Either way, Italians like to kiss people on the face, and WASP-y people hate it, unless it involves the potential for a three-way with the sisters of your son's girlfriend. If that is what's going on, kiss away! Did we mention the trunk space?

Was a Cubs fan for 30 minutes tonight.
Until they send this old guy to do 118 pitches and then, with the bases loaded, they take him off and the reliever gives up a grand slam with the team 2-4 down against the White Sox and a chance to level their record.
Then realised I don't want to wait another 99 years.

We begin our definitive recap on the first night of the con, it was a Friday night as I seem to recall. The charming Lesley Livingston and I were both guests for the event in an author-y capacity, and Jonathan Llyr (I work for his website HardcoreNerdity.com and we were also there as media) was a super special guest as well as presenter for the Constellation Awards. Screenwriter Joe O'Brien came along as our guest, though he really should have had a pass of his own, his video advertising our site (a parody of "The Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials - "The Most Interesting NERD in the World") was the star of the award ceremony and he was responsible for an awesome interview with Claudia Black which we will be featuring on the site soon.
Friday night was the meet and greet. It was quite lovely. It had free food. That makes Adrienne happy. We ran into several speculative fantasy author friends including (in no particular order): Julie Czerneda, Michelle Rowen (with whom we also had dinner), Violette Malan, Derwin Mak and Douglas Smith.
Of course there were actors a plenty as well, each doing a wonderful job at mingling and being utterly delightful, including: Claudia Black, Michelle Forbes, Matt Frewer and Michael Hogan - who was incredibly sweet and sociable the entire weekend. He played Colonel Tigh on the Battlestar Galactica series (even if you aren't into Sci-Fi, it doesn't matter, that show is quality - so much so it won a Peabody award. See it.). I had been commissioned by my friend Meghan to get an autograph from him. You see, she had sent along a photograph taken at another convention they had both attended of herself dressed as one of the major female characters (and she actually looks like the character, it's crazy) giving him a full kiss on the lips. Needless to say Hogan took one look at the picture and, grinning ear to ear, said, "I remember her!"
We got to chat with him for a while, got pictures taken with him (I act all cool and stuff, but I am pathetic when it comes to actors, I get star struck in a second - my little heart was going a mile a minute before asking him to sign Meghan's picture for her). We also chatted with Matt Frewer, who was utterly delightful as well. Though we learned even he is not entirely sure why his ears were pointy in Watchmen.
The evening was great fun, and we left at a decent hour, knowing we'd have to return in first thing in the morning (thanks Lesley).
Day 2
This was the day where we all had "stuff" to do. Lesley and I had several panels to sit on, I confess actually I wasn't meant to have quite as many as I wound up having, but since I was following Lesley around to hers, I wound up crashing two of them. We talked a great deal about YA fiction. A great great deal. Conclusion: It rocks, but doesn't get the respect it deserves. Also, YA isn't what you think it is (see last blog entry "The New YA" below). Lesley also signed books and did, as expected, a fantastic reading.
At the same time Jon and Joe were getting interviews in the media room with Michael Hogan and Claudia Black. They were also preparing for the Constellation Awards. Considering how many times they had to go off to rehearse with the Constellation Awards team, I was expecting to see a finely choreographed musical number to open the show.
There wasn't one. Constellation Awards people: get on that.
Mark Opausky (another founding member of our site) joined us for the award ceremony, which was highly entertaining (the ceremony, not Mark. I mean, not that Mark wasn't entertaining . . . I just mean . . . oh never mind . . . ). Of course Jon just totally rocked as a presenter, and, he'll be embarrassed for me to point this out, but he got huge cheers when his name was called and he stepped up on stage. We love you Mr. Llyr, we really do!
Our video was awesome. I say "our" because I like to take as much credit as possible for Joe's work.
I had to rush off early to be on another panel (which means I missed Hogan tossing Hewlett off stage, boo-urns!), the moderator of which decided not to show up so I took the job. It was called "It might be too scary for you, but your kids will love it". Oddly the panel was rated PG, which I found rather amusing as the whole point of the panel was that kids can handle way more dark than we think they can. If anything it should have been rated: "Awesome for kids, may offend some adults". At any rate. It was a very interesting panel, and I have to admit to rather enjoying my first time as moderator.
Then I returned to my friends to discover they were in the process of getting Michael Hogan rather intoxicated. And thus an evening none of us had expected to go past 10pm, went into the wee hours of the morning. Hogan was delightful, as a matter of fact, he seemed to be having a pretty darn fabulous time. But I have to say, I think us lot were also pretty delightful too, and, I at least can attest, had a fabulous time as well. In all it was just a really laid back fun time, hanging out, nothing fancy, just shooting the breeze.
Of course here's the thing . . . none of them had to be back at the con first thing the next morning.
I did.
Day 3
With around 2 hours of sleep I returned for the final day of the con to do a book signing and reading. To my great pleasure I had people show up to both (and just in case that gentleman from the signing is reading this, here is that link to the audio books I was telling you about: Alex and the Ironic Gentleman, Timothy and the Dragon's Gate). I have to admit a small hint of pleasure when after reading my first choice of chapter and about to move onto a later bit, my audience insisted that before doing that they needed to know what came next. Of course I indulged their fancy, how could I not?
And then I was done, and it was good.
Very very good.
In all, for a first time Polaris attendee/guest, I have to say the event was lovely. I enjoyed the hotel despite the long trek to the squash courts for that one panel, and everyone I met was just so friendly and supportive. Well done all!
And here's hoping Michael Hogan survived. Has anyone heard what became of him?
Me, Hogan and Lesley. We is all very happy.
Hogan and Jon. They is extra happy.
Frewer and Lesley. No really it is. Trust me. Beneath the shadow that is Matt Frewer. Who the dude in the background is standing all superhero like, I have no idea. But it's a good picture of him.
Proof, I tell ya, proof that Joe bought a copy of my book! See that smile? See? I'm not pointing a phaser at his head or anything . . .
. . . oh. Um. How did that picture get in there?
Boys and their toys. Yes these are the phasers Jon and Joe acquired at the con. They are, I must confess, super awesome. They are the latest Star Trek film version of the phasers so they spin from "stun" to "kill". They "charge" up. And of course, baby, they light up.
If only we could make Mark understand just how cool that is. As it is, or at least as is evidenced in this picture, he's not amused.
Me signing books! (these next three photos are courtesy of author Derwin Mak)
They had these really cool posters of all the guests up along one wall. Derwin called it "The National Portrait Gallery". And so we posed next to our portraits. A portrait of a portrait as it were. How post-modern of us.
Cute story. As we are taking pictures of each other and just chatting in the hall, a group came by and one girl stopped at my photo and, touching it, said, "So pretty!" Well I was standing right there, so I turned and said, "Thank you." She looked at me for a moment. "Um . . ." I said, "that's me." She continued to look at me. "Okay, I know I don't look quite as good in the photo as in person but I mean. . . I don't look that different do I?" I laughed (though inside I was crying . . . no, no, I wasn't - I joke I joke). Finally I think it all clicked for her and she put her hand over her mouth and started to laugh too.
She said that she thought the picture was so pretty she had been tempted to steal it, and so we took this picture of her attempting to steal it and me preventing it. Because I like taking pictures that amuse me.

DANBURY, Conn.—Western Connecticut State University (28-8-1, 10-4 Little East) jumped out to a pair of big leads and held on, to hand UMass Boston softball (12-23, 2-10 Little East) a Little East Conference doubleheader sweep at the Westside Complex.
After averaging 2.3 runs per conference game in their first 10 Little East games, the Beacons scored 15 runs Friday afternoon, but still fell short by the scores of 12-8 and 11-7.
Freshman catcher Gia Raczkowski (Stoneham, Mass.) led the Beacons offensively for the second-straight day, with five hits in seven at-bats and a team-high five runs batted in. Junior Kelsey Svenson (Oxford, Conn.) and Lauren Mitsiaris (Taunton, Mass.) each matched Raczkowski with five hits apiece, with Svenson adding two runs and two RBI.
Game One: Western Connecticut State 12, UMass Boston 8
After falling behind 9-1 through four innings, UMass Boston came all the way back to cut the deficit to 9-8, before a three-run sixth inning helped the Colonials hang on for a 12-8 game on victory.
Junior Nina Wojtkiewicz hit for the cycle for Western Connecticut with four hits in four at-bats and two runs and two runs batted in. The junior led off the contest with a home run, added a single in the second, an RBI triple in the third and added a one-out double in the fifth-inning.
Raczkowski did her best to match Wojtkiewicz, as the Beacons' freshman finished 3-for-4 with a single, two doubles and a career-high five runs batted in. Kristina Bove (Medford, Mass.), Mitsiaris and Svenson all matched Raczkowski with three hits. Bove tacked on two runs and a run batted in the loss.
Wojtkiewicz's lead-off shot was the first of several big extra-base hits for the hosts in the opening three frames. Western Connecticut State struck for four runs in the first, tacked on a fifth in the second and then Kylee Ruther added a big two-run home run in the third, as part of a three-run inning.
UMass Boston finally got on the board in the fourth, as Mitsiaris singled down the right field line, with Toni Scola (Worcester, Mass.) coming home to score on an error by the first baseman.
The Colonials answered back with a run of their own to push the lead to 9-1, but the Beacons started to put the pressure on Allie Sabith in the fifth.
Needing at least one run to keep the game alive, UMass Boston loaded the bases with three straight singles from Svenson, Bove and Kaitlyn Morse (Arlington, Mass.). Raczkowski followed with a bases-clearing double to right-center field to easily score all three runs, cutting the deficit to 9-4 in the process.
The Beacons kept the Colonials off the scoreboard in the bottom of the fifth thanks to a double play, setting up another big inning with the bats.
With the bases loaded once again and no outs, Bove drove in Mitsiaris with an infield single to make it 9-5 in favor of the hosts. Morse followed with an RBI groundout that scored Dutton and UMass Boston cut the deficit to 9-8 on a two-run double from Raczkowski, that plated Svenson and Bove.
With all the momentum in their favor and reliever Emily Gray (New Bedford, Mass.) pitching well, the Beacons' committed two costly two-out error that allowed Western Connecticut to push the lead back to four, at 12-8.
With two on and two out, a Beacons' error allowed a run to score and the inning to continue. One batter later, Brittany Virgulto singled to right-center field, with two more runs coming in to score thanks to a botched play in the outfield.
Emily Cintorino shut the Beacons down in the seventh to earn her first save of the year, as Sabith hung on for her 14th victory, despite allowing 14 hit and eight runs, seven earned, over 5.1 innings.
Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.) took the loss for UMass Boston, after allowing 11 hits, eight runs, seven earned, over 2.2 innings.
Game Two: Western Connecticut State 11, UMass Boston 7
Game two would follow a slight different pattern, as the Beacons jumped out to an early lead, before finding themselves in too big of a hole to overcome.
Haley Dutton (Milton, Mass.) and Svenson each recorded a pair of RBI for the Beacons in game two, while Mitsiaris and Lyndsey Capra (Lowell, Mass.) each chipped in with a team-high two hits and two runs.
Julia Bocek and Kristen Sliman both finished with three RBI to lead the Colonials, while Cintorino carried her momentum over from game one to move to 12-2 on the year. Cintorino went the full seven innings, allowing 10 hits and seven runs, three earned.
Zullo was the most successful UMass Boston pitcher, as the Beacons' ace allowed just five hits and one earned run over the final 3.1 innings. Gray took the loss after allowing four earned runs over 1.1 innings.
UMass Boston took their first and only lead of the day in the top of the second with a three-run frame. With the bases loaded and one down, Dutton belted a double to right field to plate Scola and Capra. The double was the first extra-base hit of Dutton's career and it also marked the first multi-RBI game of her career as well.
Svenson followed with an RBI groundout to give UMass Boston a 3-0 lead, but it wouldn't even last for a full inning.
Western Connecticut responded with a four-run bottom of the second, as Maegan Rodriguez, Sliman and Jessica Caturano each delivered RBI base hits.
The Colonials tacked on six more runs in the third inning, with Bocek delivering the big blow-a two-out, three-run double that occurred after a Beacons' error extended the inning.
Trailing 10-3, the Beacons added two runs of their own in the top of the fourth, thanks to a pair of Colonials' errors. Scola and Mitsiaris each scored on back-to-back Western Connecticut errors, but the Beacons failed to cut into the deficit further, as they left two runners on.
Western Connecticut added a single run against the Beacons in the bottom of the fourth, before Zullo shut the Colonials down over the next two frames.
UMass Boston's comeback effort finally started to gain some steam in the seventh. Raczkowski singled to left field and was pinch-run for by Sarah Keene (Lowell, Mass.). Keene's former AAU teammate Capra drove Keene in from first with an RBI triple and Capra was able to scamper home on an error by the right fielder. Keene's run was the first of her career.
Cintorino settled down from there though, as she retired two of the final three batters, to help the Colonials stay within a game of first place in the Little East standings.
UMass Boston will look to keep their playoff hopes alive Sunday when they host Keene State College starting at Noon. The Beacons will need to sweep the Owls in the Beacons' regular-season finale and then for UMass Dartmouth to sweep Keene State Monday, to earn their program-record fourth-straight LEC Tournament appearance.
