Top 4 TechCrunch Takeaways: How Southeast Michigan can realize its startup potential
There was palpable excitement at the TechCrunch Meetup event at the Hockeytown Cafe in Detroit on Wednesday evening. Everyone seemed to feel that the region is on the verge of something very special.
"I'm here, and I'm drinking the Kool-aid," TechCrunch reporter Colleen Taylor said. "This is exciting."

"It's very exciting what's going on here, but we haven't quite reached that 'tipping point' yet where it all clicks," Josh Diskin, a senior strategist at app development firm Detroit Labs, said.
While just about everyone could agree with those two sentiments, the question of what needs to be done to reach that "tipping point" was another story. I talked to a range of CEOs, programmers, coders, and reporters attending the event, and found a few trends. Here are the top four ways I heard to transform the region's potential into a full-blown tech success story.
1. Find or attract more capital
While some argued otherwise, I heard multiple times throughout the night that there simply is not a critical mass of venture capital in the Midwest to support the growth of a strong startup culture.
Another TechCrunch reporter, Jordan Crook, explained to me earlier in the day that even in today's digitally interconnected world, having a close proximity to major venture capital firms is vitally important.
Crook said that the process of attracting venture capital can happen over a period of months and involves a lot of face-to-face interaction. A venture capitalist investing in a company is creating a relationship that goes beyond simply their belief in the scalability of the product.
"I've had people tell me that sometimes it comes down to 'is this someone who I would really want to take their call?'" she said. "That kind of relationship has to be built in person."
There have been success stories in the region: Cytopherx attracted a $34 million venture capital round early this year and LLamasoft recently closed a $6 million dollar Series A round that included mostly Midwest capital. However, Thiago Olson and Chris Bartenstein, co-founders of pay-system startup protean, said they've been told by multiple people in the payment industry that they only way they'll attract serious venture capital is by moving to the West Coast.
"We want to stay here in Ann Arbor," Bartenstein, whose office is currently in the TechBrewery, said. "But there are definitely more funding options out West."
Fellow TechBrewery resident Dug Song, CEO of Duo Security, disagreed. He said that capital raised by his company and others currently housed in the startup incubator proved that successful companies should be able to raise capital no matter where they are located.
2. Have More Meetups
For some, the three most important factors in growing a startup community are culture, culture, and culture. In previous interviews with West Coast CEOs and venture capitalists visiting Ann Arbor I heard about the gatherings of like-minded techies who get together just to have a beer and talk about what they are working on.
I never really understood what they were talking about until I attended this meetup.
There are smaller-scale meetings in Ann Arbor on a regular basis, "Beer Thirty" on Fridays at the TechBrewery, OpenCoffee at Ann Arbor SPARK, and the A2 New Tech Meetup come to mind, but having a major "happy hour" event for people from across the region is rare.
"We have TechCrunch events in New York that could draw 1,000 people," TechCrunch reporter Romain Dillet said.
"Here, I saw two people that have been working in the same building as each other meeting at this event."
Now, Southeast Michigan will never be mistaken for New York City; but greater opportunities for people to meet means more networking, which can lead to more collaboration and mentorship, all of which makes the region's startup culture that much stronger.
3. Close the gender gap
OK, this one wasn't actually said by anyone at the event, but I believe that one way Southeast Michigan could set itself apart in the race to be the "next Silicon Valley" would be to make the region a leader in supporting opportunities for women in high tech fields.
It would be generous to say there was one woman for every 10 men in attendance at the event; the number was probably closer to one in 15. Granted, women make up a minority of both engineering and business students at the University of Michigan, but those numbers are closer to one in three or four.
I do not subscribe to the opinion that any one gender is more or less suited to be engineers, coders, programmers, or CEOs. That means that some of the top female talent graduating from local universities is either going elsewhere or not getting involved in the startup world.
Going elsewhere seems unlikely because this is not a problem unique to Michigan. Taylor said she actually thought the female turnout at the event, as well as a previous one in Toronto were unusually high.
I do not profess to have the answer as to why such a large segment of talented engineering and business school graduates are so egregiously under-represented in the startup and innovation sector. I do think that if Michigan could find a way to harness that talent, it would give the region a huge boost.
4. Revitalize Detroit
One TechCrunch reporter told me that just from looking at the infrastructure in the city she thought it would be difficult for a dandelion to survive in Detroit, let alone a startup. A CEO said he lives in metro-Detroit, but located his office in Ann Arbor because clients would have "laughed" at a company with a Detroit address.
While at first blush this might seem like it's somewhat good news for Ann Arbor, these are not two competing markets. If Michigan is going to have a successful startup community, Detroit must be a part of it.
People at the event were optimistic about the city's future, if not its present. Diskin, who is originally from New York City, compared it to areas of Brooklyn that are just on the verge of becoming the "it" places to be.
"It's like the Red Hook neighborhood," he said. "You might not want to be there right now, but you know it's going to be the next place you'll want to go. So it can be worth it to get in early."
TechCrunch reporters agreed that it would take major investment by the private sector to rebuild the city. The process is starting, with Dan Gilbert, billionaire owner of Quicken Loans, repurposing the new M@dison Building that has already drawn attention from Silicon Valley firms.
Baby steps are nice, but for the region to compete for top talent and top dollars, it's going to need to invest heavily in itself first.

I'd like to add a caveat to my third point that there have been a number of female executives in Ann Arbor who have been extremely successful. Michelle Crumm at Adaptive Materials, Linda Girard and Catherine Juon at Pure Visibility, and Maria Thompson at T/J Technologies all built or helped build successful startups and they only scratch the surface. The point is not that success stories don't exist, but that they exist in smaller numbers than they (proportionally) should. America has been making efforts for years to help women achieve in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. Any ideas for what needs to be done (if anything) for a more proportional showing in the startup sector?

Hernandez's Rays debut spoiled by streaking Davis
O's slugger homers again after Maddon vows to pitch around him
ST. PETERSBURG -- Joe Maddon said the Rays would not pitch to Chris Davis on Thursday, after the O's slugger homered in each of their first two meetings.
Alas, the Rays did, and it led to a 6-3 loss to the Orioles at Tropicana Field.
"It's just unbelievable," Maddon said. "You throw anything up there, and he's going to hit it hard somewhere. I've never quite seen him like that."
Davis, who entered the game hitting .625 with two homers and seven RBIs, padded his totals against the vaunted Rays pitching with a two-run homer and a two-run double.
"I feel comfortable in the box," Davis said. "We've had a few runners on when I'm up at the plate, which is always fun cause if you get a hit, those guys are going to score. When you feel good at the plate, when things are going right for you, you're going to get those hits. I'm just trying to keep it rolling."
In losing the rubber game of the series, the Rays fell to 1-2 on the season heading into their three-game weekend series at Tropicana Field against the Indians.
"It's always tough anywhere in the American League East," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "This is one of the best teams we're going to play against. They're going to be around all season. This is just the start. There will be some more battles along the way."
Davis put the Orioles on top, 2-0, in the second, when he homered to right-center field off Roberto Hernandez with Adam Jones on base. He doubled in the sixth with one out and runners on first and second, giving him 11 RBIs through three games and breaking a 2-2 tie.
"Without Chris Davis, we're at 3-0 without him in their lineup," Evan Longoria said. "I've seen a lot of guys hit the ball well against us in a three-game series, that's the most locked in I've seen anybody. Other than the bloop double that he had yesterday at the end of the game, that was, I mean he hit everything on the barrel. He hit everything hard, everything. Every pitch, it didn't matter what we threw him."
When Cesar Ramos finally retired Davis on a broken-bat grounder in the eighth, the crowd of 17,491 responded with a loud ovation.
Unfortunately for the Rays, Matt Wieters followed Davis with a single, and J.J. Hardy homered to give the Orioles a comfortable 6-2 lead.
Miguel Gonzalez started for the Orioles and did not allow a hit until Longoria dribbled one back through the middle with one out in the fifth. Once Longoria recorded the first hit, others followed, and the Rays strung together four base knocks to temporarily tie the game at 2 apiece.
Yunel Escobar hit one off Gonzalez's left leg, then beat out a single. James Loney drilled another single through the middle to score Longoria, before Jose Molina hit a ball up the middle to drive home Escobar.
The Rays did not threaten again until the ninth, when they brought the potential tying run to the plate.
Brian Matusz hit Sean Rodriguez, and Ben Zobrist laced a single to right field, prompting Showalter to bring in right-hander Jim Johnson to pitch to Longoria with two on and no outs.
The Rays slugger swung at the first pitch and drove a ball to the wall, but both runners froze momentarily to make sure it was not caught. By the time the ball hit the ground, Longoria had passed Zobrist on the basepaths and was ruled out.
Rodriguez scored on the play and Zobrist pulled into third base, but the Rays were not able to get anything else going en route to their second loss of the season.
"[The Orioles] are hot right now, God bless them," Maddon said. "They're good. They're really a good ballclub. It was a really entertaining, hard-fought three games, and I'm really proud of how our guys performed. As our group comes together, the new guys get more involved and come together, we're going to see us kind of take off. I was really pleased with the three games."

[I]t is to be noted that it is common to name a droll fellow, regarded as typical of his country, after some favorite article of food, as E[nglish] Jack-pudding, G[erman] Hanswurst ("Jack Sausage"), F[rench] Jean Farine ("Jack Flour"). [Century Dictionary, 1902, entry for "macaroni"]Originally it seems to have been applied insultingly to the Dutch, especially freebooters, before they turned around and slapped it on the English. A less-likely theory (attested by 1832) is that it represents some southern New England Algonquian language mangling of English. In English a term of contempt (1750s) before its use as a general term for "native of New England" (1765); during the American Revolution it became a disparaging British word for all American natives or inhabitants. Contrasted with southerner by 1828. Shortened form Yank in reference to "an American" first recorded 1778. Latin-American form Yanqui attested in English by 1914 (in Mexican Spanish by 1835).
The rule observed in this country is, that the man who receives that name [Yankee] must come from some part north of him who gives it. To compensate us for giving each other nicknames, John Bull "lumps us all together," and calls us all Yankees. ["Who is a Yankee?" Massachusetts Spy, June 6, 1827]

It is a little late to be worrying much over the body of Dracula. From pulp he came and to pulp he shall forever return.
For every serious or even vaguely faithful take on the 1897 Bram Stoker novel — Browning, Murnau, Coppola, Herzog, et al. — there must be 20 or 30 instances where the character is turned to daffier uses. He has been Hammer House of Horrored, Mad Monster Partied, Mel Brooksed, George Hamiltoned, Abbott and Costelloed and Scooby-Dooed from here to Romania and back.
And so, faced with the prospect of NBC's new "Dracula," a limited series that begins Friday — just in time, obviously, for Halloween — we should not automatically quail. Whatever it will be, it will not be "Dracula's Dog" (Albert Band, 1978).
In fact, and somewhat to my own surprise — I have had it up to my neck with vampires, tee-hee, and possess a fitfully low tolerance for star Jonathan Rhys Meyers (possibly just a bad taste left over from "The Tudors") — I quite like it. Its aspirations and its execution are perfectly in sync; there is no way that Meyers could overact, or, indeed, not act enough, that would not suit the material.
It's that type of rewrite where familiar characters are emptied of their original content and filled with new flavors, and it's no surprise to learn that creator Cole Haddon wrote last year's "The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde" for Dark Horse Comics, where this happens quite a lot. (The show runner is Dan Knauf, who created HBO's "Carnivale.")
Here, Dracula — kinda sensitive, sorta civilized, not a bad guy except for killing strangers to drink their blood — has returned to do battle with the Order of the Dragon, a historic chivalric order to which the historic Vlad the Impaler historically belonged. (He is an undead man with a mission.) In this telling, they have become one of those secret societies that go through the ages controlling important things and dealing violently with any members who violate their code or forget to give the secret handshake.
For reasons not immediately revealed, they were responsible for the death of Vlad's wife — who bears a startling resemblance to … Mina Murray (Jessica de Gouw), now a medical student. Their traditional sympathetic vibrations are established in the series' opening minutes, at an introductory ball thrown by our exsanguinating antihero, who has come to London (world headquarters of the Order, seemingly) in the guise of industrialist Alexander Grayson, "as American as God, guns and bourbon."
Right away you can see that this is not your great-great-great-great-grandfather's "Dracula."
Also present at the party are good-time girl Lucy Westenra (Katie McGrath) and Mina's beau Jonathan Harker (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), now a "very ambitious" journalist. Renfield (Nonso Anozie) is no longer the fly-eating inmate of an insane asylum but Dracula's black American Jeeves, who keeps his boss in order and does not hesitate to give him guff. Van Helsing (Thomas Kretschmann) arrives in due time, with surprises of his own.
The Victorian setting and a "scientific" subplot — Dracula plans to undermine the Order's plans for a fossil-fuel future with free energy from the electromagnetosphere or some such — give it that old steampunk feel. (There is, indeed, steam.) Morally ambiguous aristocratic vampire huntress Lady Jayne (Victoria Smurfit) is likewise conceived as a 21st century vision of neo-Gothic Victorian badness, all impudent cleavage and cinched waist.
Shot on location in Budapest — an architectural candy box that looks nothing like London, but does look Awesome! (said with rock 'n' roll face and hand shapes) — the production is sumptuous; the money is on the screen. Some lovely matte paintings, along with applications of fog and rain, fill in local period detail.
This being "Dracula," there is, of course, a good deal of blood (and this being 2013, some martial-artsy fight scenes, with the usual bursts of slow motion) and some sexy stuff you might want to keep from younger or impressionable children. The rest of you may proceed with my dark blessing.

Microsoft Fails AV-Test Certification
German antivirus lab AV-Test continually tests popular security suites against real world threats and reports the results every two months. For the most part, the researchers alternate between testing under Windows 7 and under Windows XP. The latest Windows 7 results show a significant drop in most scores. In particular, Microsoft failed to achieve certification.
How They Tested
The test rates each product in three categories: protection, repair, and usability. Protection refers to preventing attack by a collection of malware samples that includes widespread malware, recent detections, and zero-day attacks. The repair score is based on the product's ability to detect already-present malware and remove it thoroughly. Products lose usability points if they significantly impact system performance or falsely report valid programs as malicious.
In each category, a security product can earn from zero to six points. To receive certification, the product needs a total of 11 out of the 18 possible points.
Most Scores Drop
The current test results report on testing during September and October of this year, while the previous test under Windows 7 was conducted during May and June. Of the 23 products tested, 16 scored worse this time around, some of them quite a bit worse.
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition, VIPRE Internet Security, and Microsoft Security Essentials all scored three full points lower than in the previous Windows 7 test. With 12.5 and 12.0 points respectively, AVG and VIPRE achieved certification. Microsoft, with 10.5 points, didn't make the cutoff.
The full report online reveals the source of the problem. Microsoft scored just 1.5 points for protection. It was particularly ineffective against zero-day threats, with a protection rate below 70 percent where top products managed 100 percent.
Some Winners
Bitdefender Internet Security remains the champ, with 17 of 18 possible points. F-Secure Internet Security and Kaspersky Internet Security both had 16.5 points last time; in the current test they drop to 15.5 and 15.0 respectively. Norton Internet Security also stands at 15.0, down from 15.5.
AV-Test's results track pretty closely with my own malware blocking and malware removal tests. Bitdefender, Kaspersky, F-Secure, and Norton all do a good job, while Microsoft weighs in very near the bottom.
Similar Results for Business Products
AV-Test ran a parallel test on business security products from F-Secure, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Sophos, Symantec, Trend Micro, and Webroot. The results were quite similar. F-Secure Client Security topped this group, with 16.5 points, while Microsoft's Forefront Endpoint Protection bombed, earning just 9.5 points.
If you're using Windows 8, take these results as a wakeup call. Yes, Windows Defender is enabled automatically when no other antivirus is present, but its technology comes from the Microsoft products that failed the recent tests. Don't rely on it. Install a better antivirus right away.

Updated, 7:09 p.m.
How did a former Iowa police officer help persuade one of the world's largest electronics firms to sever ties with America's presidential debates?
It took only a few emails, according to Rick Stewart, who successfully lobbied Philips North America to drop its support of the Commission on Presidential Debates as part of a campaign to open the debates to third-party candidates.
Philips, which was supposed to be one of 10 corporate sponsors of Wednesday night's debate, cut ties with the commission Saturday, citing concerns about appearing partisan. The move came just days after two other sponsors - the YWCA and Bartle Bogle Hegarty, a New York advertising firm - bailed for similar reasons after receiving emails from Stewart.
Now, with three debates left on the schedule, Stewart and a band of anti-establishment activists are training their sights on three other sponsors - Southwest Airlines Co., Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc. and the International Bottled Water Association.
If enough high-profile companies abandon the commission, the activists hope it will change its criteria for candidate participation and abolish the 20-plus-page contracts detailing strict guidelines for the debates.
The commission website says participation in the debates is limited to those candidates who have the support of at least 15 percent of the national electorate according to five selected national public polls. That has been one Republican and one Democrat every year since 1992.
As candidates at all levels hype their anti-establishment bona fides, the commission, a nonprofit organization charged with staging the presidential debates, is under fire from left and right for perpetuating a two-party system.
"It's very concerning to me because [these companies] have done this out of the belief that these are important and valuable events," Janet Brown, executive director of the commission, said in an interview Wednesday. "They are being targeted by people who have an issue with the CPD, and I am very sorry."
Stewart, who describes himself as a libertarian-leaning "nonjoiner," started a group called Help the Commission this summer before taking his case directly to the commission's Washington, D.C., headquarters in August.
"I knocked on the door of [the CPD] office, and the person who answered it peeked out like an Iowa widow in a farmhouse at midnight," Stewart said. Four days and several visits later, a CPD official threatened to have him arrested, he said. "I returned to Iowa. As I worked from here, I realized the CPD was not worth attacking anymore, so I went after the sponsors."
Southwest, Anheuser-Busch and the bottled water industry group said in statements to Roll Call that they would maintain their sponsorships.
"This is a marathon, not a short-term sprint; I've been doing this long enough to know this is a hard nut to crack," said George Farah, executive director of a like-minded organization, Open Debates. "This time, maybe we are tapping into an additional reservoir of anger."
Open Debates was founded in 2003 with the support of prominent voices from across the political spectrum, such as social conservative Paul Weyrich, a co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, and Larry Noble, who served as general counsel at the Federal Election Commission and is now with the Washington law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson sued the commission and the Republican and Democratic parties last month, alleging antitrust violations and requesting debate access. Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein are on ballots in enough states to theoretically win the election. Stein and her supporters held a series of protests Wednesday in Denver, the site of this cycle's first presidential debate.
A contract signed by presidential candidates President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry in 2004 limited the number of debates, required audience questions to be preapproved, prohibited follow-up questions and dictated camera positioning.
"The commission allows the major-party candidates to manipulate the process behind closed doors without ever having to play a price politically," said Farah, an antitrust attorney at Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll in New York City, who funds the effort himself.
But Brown denied that the commission was "party" to any such contract.
"There's never been a contract between the commission and the candidates. Not ever, not now," she said.
The nonprofit raises millions of dollars every cycle to fund the presidential and vice presidential debates. But at least three of the listed corporate sponsors - Philips, Bartle Bogle Hegarty and the bottled-water association - made no monetary contribution this cycle, according to company emails and Brown.
Collectively, the 10 sponsors contributed about $200,000 to support voter education activities this cycle, she said. The rest of the money came from the universities hosting the presidential and vice presidential debates: the University of Denver, Centre College in Danville, Ky., Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., and Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla.
The commission appears to do the bulk of its fundraising the year before a presidential election, according to recent IRS filings. In 2007, the commission received $5.8 million in contributions. The next year, it raised an additional $1 million and reported spending just more than $3 million on its core mission to "produce, finance, and publicize the general election debates."
Other debate sponsors include the Kovler Fund, the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Sheldon S. Cohen and Crowell & Moring, a Washington law firm that lobbies on behalf of Novartis, SC Johnson, Pacific Rim Mining and the American Fuel & Petroleum Manufacturers.

Subscribe To Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Doing Terminator 5, Sequel From Fast Five Director Updates
I've already subscribed
The years as California Governor may have moved Arnold Schwarzenegger closer to the middle, but thankfully, they have not squashed his will to destroy all in his path, especially now that Skynet is active. The action star will return to ruin lives as his most beloved character, The Terminator, in at least one but likely two films in the near future.
The move comes almost a year after Pacificor purchased the rights to the franchise for what seemed like an astounding figure of nearly thirty million. With Arnold back in play, that gamble no longer seems like such a foolhardy investment, and the company will make its pitch to Lionsgate, Universal and Sony later this afternoon. Deadline is speculating the Terminator package will sell for upwards of twenty-five to thirty million at minimum, but the ultimate price tag shouldn't really affect the finished product. Anyone willing to shell out that kind of money will follow it up with at minimum a hundred and fifty million dollar investment to do this thing right. You don't coax Arnold Schwarzenegger back into the game and then pinch pennies and go cheap. People will expect Terminator 5: He's Back or whatever the hell it's going to be called to be a balls to the wall orgasm of death, explosions and eye mutilation.
Beyond Arnold, the only other person officially on board in this package is Robert Cort as producer, but there's been a ton of internet buzz over the last few weeks that Fast Five helmer Justin Lin would direct a sequel whether or not The Kindergarten Cop was involved or not. Expect that little rumor to be confirmed or disconfirmed as soon as a studio opens the bank and buys the rights.
Are you surprised? Excited? Worried about quality? Personally, I'm just happy he went back to The Terminator before making Jingle All The Way 2. That movie would have felt wrong without Phil Hartman. Maybe next year, Sinbad.

Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- Gunmen shot and killed a young Iraqi journalist in front of his family Sunday in the northern city of Mosul, an official at the Interior Ministry said.
Mazin al-Baghdadi worked as a reporter and anchor for al-Mousiliyya TV.
Gunmen in civilian clothing showed up at his home around 6 p.m. and identified themselves to his father as intelligence officers, the ministry official said.
When al-Baghdadi exited to his house to speak with the men, they shot him.
His family was looking on when the shooting occurred, according to the official, who described the journalist as young.
More than 230 journalists and media workers have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion began in 2003, the watchdog group Reporters Without Borders said in September -- making Iraq one of the deadliest countries in the world for journalists.
In other violence in Iraq, at least six people were wounded in bomb attacks around the country's capital, the Interior Ministry official said.
Two roadside bombs targeting a police patrol in northern Baghdad's Kadhimiya neighborhood detonated in quick succession on Sunday evening, wounding at least five people, including three policemen, the official said.
Earlier on Sunday, a bomb attached to a civilian vehicle in Kadhimiya exploded, wounding the driver, the official added.

TunLcover is rated out of 5 by 8.
Rated 1 out of 5 by revron from Not for windy areas I bought this about 3 weeks ago to cover my tomatoes. A week after I had it covering my tomatoes, we had 20 - 30 MPH winds and it blew the tunnel off twice in 24 hours. The second time it ruined the metal hoops. They are all bent and twisted. I feel like I wasted my $25. I even tried piling up the dirt to cover all the plastic near the ground, but alas the entire structure is just too flimsy and light to withstand any amount of wind. I will go back to hotcaps. I have never had any problem with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by happyPAgardener from Better than advertised. I planted two rows of tomatoes with the tunlcover the end of April. They were my earliest & best tomatoes ever. I will be buying two more for next spring, for a total of four rows planted a full month early. They are durable, reusable and simple.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Squirt from Mixed Review I bought eight tunnel covers to protect my strawberry plants from the birds. Last summer I lost a lot of my strawberries to bird damage and was determined not to let that happen this summer. At first I was excited about the covers, easy to put up and would be good shade from the hot sun. I could tolerate having to lift them up when harvesting the strawberries but overall maintenance of my plants was difficult, keeping weeds out, cutting off runners, etc. The plants outgrew the tunnels, began to grow sideways and one whole row that was too tall and cramped didn't even produce strawberries this year where it had last year. I won't be using them next summer and will have to find another way to protect my plants from the birds.

Rated 4 out of 5 by NormanGardener from Really helpful! I used these row covers this spring and they were really helpful. We have very variable weather here in Oklahoma, and these row covers helped keep a crop of spring greens safe from freezing temperatures. It also protected them well from spring hail storms with minimal damage to the row covers themselves. My vegetable garden has rows about half the length of these covers and I simply cut the covers in half and they worked great. Looking forward to using them again this fall!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Saunders84 from Great Product This is my first year using this product but man do I love it. Only way you could make it better would be to have some sort of zipper or draw string on the ends to close up.. Do that and this product would be perfect

Rated 5 out of 5 by NorthWisconsinGardener from The BEST We LOVE this product! In the past, we have tried Walls of Water in our Zone 3 garden and found them to be so much hassle that we avoid setting them up like the plague. We tried the TunLcover this spring and LOVED IT! We ordered two more for next year. Regarding the person who cut it in half and it blew off... it is designed with a flap that hangs to the ground that you can secure with a rock. If an end is cut open the wind could come in and lift it off, and also the cold air would get in. Just a thought. Anyway, we will be using these every spring. They store so easily because they accordion into a flat position and can be slid back into the box. Walls of Water were always wet... and we never did find a good way to dry them out for storage.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Scarecrow from Mixed review! I used this produce this year to cover my lettuce in mid May. I cut in half to 8 feet for two rows. I had to check it every day to see if the wind had blown it across the yard. I believe it has value, but it could go in the ground a little deeper. The crop of lettuce failed on June 10 due to 25 degree temperature for more than 6 hours. This is not made for that kind of cold.
Date published: 2012-08-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by K26kv from TunLcover I cut my covers into two pieces and they covered two rows in my 4x8 raised garden. The covers helped to keep my cucumbers warm in the cool spring that we are experiencing this year and they helped to keep my cats away from the new plants. They are easy to store, I folded mine up and slipped them into a reusable shopping bag and they will be ready to go next spring.

>>>full list
NORMAN, Okla. – The Georgia College golf squad added high individual honors this week, as Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) and Billy Shida (Berkeley Lakes, Ga.) earned spots on the Division II PING All-America Teams. Young was chosen to the second team, while Shida received honorable mention status.
Young finished the season with a 72.0 stroke average, good for tops in the conference. He had four top-five finishes among his six top-10 slots, including a victory at the Lander Bearcat Classic. Young competed in 10 events and had 13 sub-par rounds. He becomes just the third golfer in the illustrious history of GC golf to bring home three All-America trophies, joining GC Athletics Hall of Famer David Robinson and four-time selection Niclas Johansson.
The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Player of the Year, Shida finished the season with a 72.4 stroke average, good for second in the conference. Shida had four top-five finishes among his seven top-10 slots, including a victory at the Matlock Collegiate Classic. He competed in 11 events and had 15 sub-par rounds. This is the first All-America honor in his career.
All-time, GC has put 21 golfers on the Golf Coaches Association of America All-America Teams, all during the tenure of head coach Jimmy Wilson.
The 2010-11 season was another outstanding one for Bobcat Golf. GC put four individuals on the All- PBC Teams, with head coach Wilson taking Coach of the Year and Shida adding Player of the Year honors. The Bobcats had two All-Americans in Young and Shida and senior Matthew Yonz (2006-11) added Academic All-American accolades.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Grains finished the day lower reversing some of yesterday's gains. Wheat was originally leading the support today but by the end it was the downside leader down 16 cents. December corn finished 2 ¾ cents lower and January soybeans 12 ½ cents lower.
For the first time since July we have crude oil trading back above $100 per barrel. It is interesting to point out that at this time in 2008 the 50 week average corn price was about $5.38 while the average 50 week crude price was about $106. Now the 50 week average for corn is at $6.83 while the crude oil is at $94. We also had wheat about 50 cents more expensive then as it is now (50 week average). There are many reasons for these prices but it is interesting to see where we line up comparatively.
There were more reports of feed wheat purchased by S Korea this morning. They purchased 55,000 MTs of option-origin corn and 55,000 MTs of option origin feed wheat. I still think the world wheat supply and discount to corn is going to weigh on corn prices here in the US. Beans are still well oversold to corn but demand hasn't been all that great to warrant a strong rally. Today we found more upside resistance on that month-long trendline (see chart).
Export sales will be released tomorrow and estimates are as follows:
Corn: 250,000 – 600,000 MTs
Soybeans: 450,000 – 700,000 MTs
Wheat: 300,000 – 500,000 MTs
Cattle on Feed will be released Friday and expectations are as follows:
On Feed November 1st 104%
Placements During Oct 99%
Marketings in Oct 101%
For now we want to take advantage of this strong basis in the cash market where possible. It is not hard to believe that we ration enough corn demand that we are trading lower than these levels going into next year.

The fruit is known in India as gambooge. It is apparently also an ingredient in some weight loss products as hydroxycitric acid.
Oz promoted it and continues to assert that garcinia cambogia is an effective aid to weight loss. The claims for weight loss are nothing short of outlandish and there is real science that suggests the whole thing is a hoax.
Studies that claim to have found weight loss were carried out on animals.

The good news is that they have determined I am not disabled and can still work full-time as a management consultant - hey, isn't that great? I wish I knew that years ago... think of all the income I could have been earning!
Specifically, they said:
We have determined that your condition was not disabling on any date...
While your conditions caused you to experience occasional bouts of extreme fatigue, the evidence shows your energy level was adequate for your daily activities. Based on your description of the job you performed as a consultant, we have concluded that you have the ability to perform this same type of work as it is usually performed in the national economy.
Even though I expected to be rejected, this wording still feels like a slap in the face. My state, Delaware, has one of the lowest approval rates in the U.S. (I think we're fourth worst with only a 37% approval rate in the first step).
I talked to my lawyer today, and they said it's no big deal, to be expected, and they will file the appeal for me. I kept asking in-depth questions about what else I could send in to prove I'm disabled, but my contact just laughed and told me I'm reading way too much into what is likely a form rejection letter. She said this is all normal procedure, they'll take care of it and will let me now if they need anything else.
So, more waiting now.

As part of a drive to push green innovation in the racing world, the American Le Mans series has announced the Green Challenge. Basically, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy are partnering with SAE to encourage race teams to use renewable fuels, alternative engine configurations, regenerative braking and emissions controls. Chevy unveiled this Corvette race car, plastered in E85 stickers, to highlight the announcement. We're bigger fans of the Vantage GT2, which is also powered by ethanol, or the Lexus IS350 GT2.
No emissions targets or environmental impact limits have been set. While we would love to see racing reduce its impact on the world around us, thus furthering research into enabling passenger cars to do the same, we can't help but feel efforts like this merely pay lip service to being environmentally friendly in order to placate critics.

text: The Hague office market has been lagging behind compared to other main markets in the Netherlands, which has resulted in a historically wide yield gap combined with an improving occupier market. Based on the improving market data and the feedback from local occupiers, we expect the take-up level from both the government and commercial sector to improve further. Meanwhile, on-going conversions will continue to reduce the available space. For these reasons, investment volumes have clearly picked-up and we expect more investors to see the opportunity that the The Hague market presents.

Quiz Named to Alma Maters Hall of Fame
Royals Hall of Fame relief pitcher Dan Quisenberry will be inducted into the Orange Coast College Hall of Fame this Saturday, September 26 in Costa Mesa, CA.
Dan pitched for the OCC Pirates and later for the Leopards from the University of La Verne (La Verne, CA) before being signed as an undrafted free agent on June 7, 1975 by one of the greatest scouts in franchise history – Rosey Gilhousen. Though they are both gone each will always be remembered for their contributions to Royals Baseball.
Great Job Rosey…Congratulations Dan!
BTW – Why didn't Quiz receive more support for National Baseball Hall of Fame induction? Check the numbers on other relievers enshrined in Cooperstown from the same era, especially Bruce Sutter – they are very similar.
Joe Posnanski started to make the case once. Maybe we'll revist that issue sometime soon.
(Curt Nelson, Director – Royals Hall of Fame)

At the end of each year, the Committee to Protect Journalists counts the number of journalists imprisoned worldwide and lists the countries in which they're locked up.
These data are very helpful, but I think we can consider them under a new lamp by taking into account each country's size. China and Eritrea, for example, have about the same number of journalists rotting in prison, 27 and 28 respectively. But the population of China is over 250 times that of the small dictatorship.
Any country that unjustly arrests or imprisons a single journalist is democratically suspect, of course, and that includes you, America. Ratings of press freedom in the United States tanked after 2011, as counts of arrested journalists in this country soared. Still, though police in the United States tend to arrest journalists filming or otherwise documenting unrest, their bosses usually get embarrassed at the media blowback and drop the charges. Imprisoning journalists for months or years at a time is another matter and, other than the outright murder of journalists in places like Russia and Syria, the long-term jailing of reporters is the offense with which the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is most concerned.
For a new take on this scourge, I quickly calculated the highest twelve ratios of jailed journalists to a country's population size.
So we see that according to this criterion, Israel jails more journalists per capita than any other nation except for Eritea.
Sounds damning, right?
Except that it is a meaningless statistic. The size of the country's population has nothing to do with how many journalists are in the country. Israel has far more journalists than most countries that are much larger, because there is such intense interest in Israel. Moreover, Israel is liberal in allowing journalists to have access to the nation, as opposed to, say, practically every other nation in the Middle East.
If you want to see which nations jail the most reporters per-something, you must compare it to the total number of reporters - not the total population of the nation. To restate the question - if you are a reporter in Country X, what are the odds that you will be arrested? Comparing the number of jailed journalists to the total population of the nation doesn't tell you anything meaningful.
This is not to blame Justin Martin at CJR - at first blush his metric sounds like it might be meaningful - but his initial assumption is completely wrong.
Unfortunately, I cannot find immediately how many journalists are in Israel. Here's a list of journalists per million in North America and here's one with newspaper journalists per million for many other countries, but not Israel. I would be willing to bet that if you find out those numbers, and look at number of jailed reporters per thousand reporters, you will see Israel going way, way down that list.
This is all besides the fact of the circumstances of the imprisonment, which is a whole other topic. Given that Arab media openly says that their journalists are part of the war against Israel, it is but a small step for some of them to step over that line. But even without going into that, this is a perfect example of a statistic that sounds like it is illuminating some truth - and in fact it is obscuring it.
UPDATE: I was too charitable. Martin really dislikes Israel and chances are pretty good that he gleefully published this metric just to castigate the Jewish state. (h/t Soccer Dad)
UPDATE 2: Comments from an email correspondent about the underlying CPJ study:
The CPJ report says that Hamas has jailed three journalists. Divide 3 by 1.5 million (the population of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip according to the Palestinian Authority) and you have a jail-rate that dwarfs Israel. Does the CJR (Columbia Journalism Review) article's failure to mention this indicate anything about the author's (Justin Martin) agenda? Does Martin's statement that "Israel, though, wants to be called a modern democracy and gets cranky when critics point out that it is not" tell us anything about his agenda?
The CPJ report tells us nothing about its methodology: how it conducted its "census," how it decided who to classify as a "journalist," etc. Even if it had a reliable methodology for figuring out what journalists were arrested where, the CRJ would still not pretend to be comprehensive; it claims only to be "a snapshot of those incarcerated at midnight on December 1, 2011" that does "not include the many journalists imprisoned and released throughout the year."
The CPJ report tells us nothing about how it examined the charges; there is nothing to indicate that all the persons who were arrested were in fact arrested due to journalistic activity, rather than say, contempt of court or activities on behalf of a terrorist organization. For instance, the CJR report lists Raed al-Sharif as a jailed journalist, while also telling us that Israel has stated that he was detained due to "involvement in terrorist activity." It is worth noting that international law sometimes requires the jailing of journalists. For instance, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda convicted several Rwandans for genocide, incitement to genocide, and crimes against humanity committed by broadcasts on Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines. This is surely relevant to the detention of, for example, Walid Khalid Harb, director of the Hamas newspaper Falastin.
I noted last night in Twitter that the US arrested scores of journalists during the Occupy demonstrations. Also, I mentioned that just last month India arrested a journalist - an Iranian implicated in the terrorist bombing against Israeli embassy personnel. Being a journalist doesn't make one immune from being imprisoned when one does a crime.
UPDATE 3: Ahlam Tamimi helped plan and execute the Sbarro's massacre - and then came home to deliver the news on a PA TV show. Is she one of those "journalists" who must be protected according to the CJP? (h/t Arnold and Frimet Roth, parents of one of the victims)

Tomorrow Meets Today at the Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion
It takes precise planning, construction and coordination to create a new healthcare facility that delivers state-of-the-art outpatient care, research and educational facilities. The 820,000-square-foot Pavilion, located on the southwest corner of San Vicente and Gracie Allen, opened this summer.
Watch a time-lapse video from the beginning of construction
Watch a video of the Sue and Bill Gross Skywalk being installed
The Pavilion accommodates 500 to 600 patients each day and houses outpatient services for the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, neurosciences (departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology), Regenerative Medicine Institute and other clinical specialties, as well as outpatient procedure suites. Its innovative design brings patient care and translational research together in one place, allowing physicians and scientists to collaborate closely in developing new procedures and treatments.
"This facility allows us to integrate research and clinical care under one roof and will transform patient care," said Thomas M. Priselac, president and CEO.
The Pavilion is designed with airy, comfortable spaces to welcome patients and visitors as they enter. Inside the two-story lobby on the Plaza Level, employees, patients and visitors will have access to a café, an education center, imaging, Anesthesia Pre-Procedure Evaluation Center (APEC) and an outpatient pharmacy.
The 11-story Pavilion, which includes three underground parking levels, also features plenty of self-parking, as well as valet parking. For easy access, It is connected to the main medical center via two pedestrian bridges, including the fifth-floor Sue and Bill Gross Skywalk.
As an eco-friendly building, the Pavilion is designed to meet the requirements of a Gold Certified building under the U.S. Green Building Council LEED™ Program. It features an innovative double glass walled exterior that provide both energy savings and thermal comfort for occupants. Automated building control systems regulate the building's energy use. Solar panels on the rooftop of Parking Lot 4, adjacent to the Pavilion, provide power to the parking garage.

This year we were invited for Christmas dinner to our friends' house.
It was our first Austrian traditional Christmas.The Christkind (german "The Christ-child") is the traditional Christmas gift-bringer in Austria, so we had to explain to Maya that since Santa has a long way to come over to see us, his helper, the Christkind, will start bringing presents to children. So she will get a couple of gifts on the 24th of December at night and will hopefully find some more in the morning of the 25th.
We sang some Christmas songs followed by some Christmas stories.
After which Ryan and Christian put the sparklers on the tree while the kids were in the bedroom playing.
Once everything was set up, Christian rang a small bell to announce that the Christkind was seen by adults but he just dropped the presents and left quickly.
The kids were so excited to see the sparkling Christmas tree and so many presents under it.
They couldn't wait to open the gifts.

This happened a couple of days ago, but we missed it with everything else going on. At Wednesday evening's Copa Sudamericana—Wikipedia calls it "the second most prestigious club competition in South American football"—between Brazil's São Paulo and Argentina's Tigre, some pre-match gamesmanship and a brawl as the teams left the field for halftime led to a very pointed kind of official intervention: Police visited Tigre in its locker room during the break and, allegedly, beat players from Tigre and threatened them with guns. Those players responded by refusing to leave the locker room for the second half. The match was called and awarded to São Paulo, and now Brazilian authorities are investigating the incident.
The timeline (partly from the Guardian's annotated video here): Tigre claimed that its club had been blocked from warming up on the pitch—they eventually got on to the field by jumping over the barriers on the side—but played the first half anyway, falling behind 2-0 as the match progressed. As halftime approached, a small scuffle escalated into something more; where we're used to fights being broken up pretty zealously by officials and teammates, this one sort of dragged on despite a couple police with riot-gear shields hovering around the fringes, and the pushing and tough talk continued even as the teams ran off towards their locker rooms.
Then, Tigre never came back out for the second half. The team later claimed that, during the intermission, 20 police and security guards attacked and beat them. Two allegedly brandished guns—Tigre's coach said one was pointed at a goalkeeper's chest—and the team said that the cadre of police and security beat the team with sticks. Tigre stayed in the locker room for two hours and lodged a complaint with police—presumably, different police. Multiple outlets reported that Argentine media snapped photos of the bloody locker room, though we couldn't find any.
Referees eventually awarded the match to São Paulo. Both team and fans celebrated as if they had won fair and square:
As soon as the referee signalled the end of the match, São Paulo players hugged each other and began celebrating. They were then handed the trophy by officials from Conmebol, the South American Football Confederation.
Thousands of celebrating fans then filled one of São Paulo's main streets, the Avenida Paulista.
"They were going to lose by a big score," the São Paulo President Juvenal Juvencio told the club's website. "Our biggest victory is the fact that the Argentines ran away."
A spokesman for the South American Football Confederation said that the halftime beatings mark "the most serious incident of its kind in 25 years," though Reuters points out that this isn't the country's first incident in which police have interfered with a match: 2002 saw a player knocked unconscious by a police truncheon as he protested a referee's call; in 2005, an Argentine player was arrested for racism during a match, held for 40 hours, then released with no official charge filed; 2006 and 2008 both saw pepper spraying incidents.
So...everyone looking forward to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil?

More than 500 guests gathered at Lakeland College on May 17 for a spectacular evening of dancing, multi-course gourmet food, fellowship and philanthropic fundraising.
The seventh annual Movers & Shakers Gala was the final time this popular community event offered an evening of dancing. Beginning next year, the Gala will feature a lineup of various talent acts.
Saturday's event, which benefits Lakeland College, the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra and numerous local charities, showcased the dancing skills of nine community leaders and their professional partners.
Tracy Wusterbarth, a human resources specialist at ACUITY, won the 2014 Movers & Shakers Gala championship, which goes to the dancer with a combination of the best judges' scores and the most purchased votes. Wusterbarth, the last dancer of the night and a former Miss Wisconsin, danced the jive and showcased her strong tap dancing skills. Votes purchased for Wusterbarth, who was sponsored by ACUITY, also benefited the Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice.
Winning the "Judges' Choice" award was Julie Steinert, who danced a dazzling Cha-Cha hip-hop routine. Votes for Steinert, a nonprofit organization professional currently working as an office administrator at her husband's dental practice, also benefited Meals on Wheels of Sheboygan County. She was sponsored by Peter J. Steinert DDS SC and Bank First National.
Lakeland's Todd Wehr Center was transformed into a majestic ballroom, which included an elegant dance floor framed by wall-to-wall carpeting plus professional lighting and two large video screens.
In its previous six years, Movers & Shakers raised more than $2.5 million, including a four-year total of $263,500, for more than 30 nonprofit organizations.
Major sponsors of this year's Gala were the Frank G. and Frieda K. Brotz Family Foundation, Festival Foods and Studio Gear Technology. Additional event sponsors included Blue Moon Studios, Huber Creatives, Salon Sase, Zimmermann Printing and Canopies Events with Distinction.
This year's celebrity dancers, in addition to Wusterbarth and Steinert, were:
- Jason Bemis, of Bemis Manufacturing, danced the Viennese Waltz. Votes for Bemis benefited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sheboygan County. Bemis was sponsored by Bemis Manufacturing Co.
- Rodney Ellison, a Lakeland graduate who works as a physical trainer at the Sports Core, danced the Mambo. Votes for Ellison benefited the Sheboygan County Cancer Care Fund. Ellison was sponsored by Plastics Engineering Company.
- Eric Kriete, a Lakeland graduate who owns The Silver Fern Pub in Sheboygan, danced a 70s "disco themed" Swing medley. Votes for Kriete benefited The Salvation Army-Sheboygan. Kriete, who wore an all-white suit reminiscent of John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, was sponsored by The Silver Fern.
- Ashok Rai, the president and chief executive officer of Prevea Health in Green Bay, danced a Bollywood-style Tango. Votes for Rai, whose performance was preceded by a videotaped good luck message from Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, benefited the Sheboygan County Cancer Care Fund. Rai was sponsored by Prevea Health.
- Tammy Schaefer, whose husband, Larry, founded the popular Legend Larry's chicken wings franchise, opened the show and danced the Viennese Waltz. Votes for Schaefer benefited Bookworm Gardens and Rainbow Kids. Schaefer was sponsored by Legend Larry's.
- Johanna Schmidt, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan, danced the West Coast Swing. Votes for Schmidt benefited Rotaract. She was sponsored by Sheboygan County Rotary Clubs and Sartori Cheese.
- Nichola Stayer-Suprick, an active volunteer in the community, danced the Cha-Cha Two-step. Votes for Stayer-Suprick benefited Safe Harbor. Stayer-Suprick was sponsored by Johnsonville Sausage.

This is the phrase I hear from my son, Jon, yesterday morning after packing his lunch for school. Every morning he comes down from showering, asks me to make him breakfast and what I packed him for lunch. Usually it is the same type of thing….sandwich on GF bread, chips, applesauce, yogurt, drink, dessert (if I have made treats lately). Well yesterday I gave him the rest of the broccoli slaw that we had with dinner the other night. He really liked it and even mentioned how much the dressing tasted like his favorite dressing that I buy for him from a local restaurant. What he didn't mention that he was only going to like this dish at home, not at school. Apparently now in addition to his gluten-free food restrictions there are also "coolness factor" restrictions. I guess it is bad enough that he has to bring his lunch to school when 97% of the kids buy, but then to show up with broccoli slaw, well, that is just SO UN-COOL! Now, when I pack his lunch in the AM, I normally aim for nutritionally balanced, not "coolness factor" balanced. This is where I have been getting it wrong. He tried to throw the slaw back into the fridge; I put it back in his lunch box. The container came home empty…anyone want to place bets on whether or not he actually ate it? My guess would be that once it showed up in plain view in his lunch box, he might as well have eaten it. Throwing it out at that point would have only served one purpose, to make me mad (and if I don't know, how can I be mad?). Going hungry, or partially hungry is probably an option a 12-year old boy would choose over eating the broccoli slaw. So I brought this up to Aaron, who looked at me like I had 2 heads when I told him that I packed the broccoli slaw for Jon, and he couldn't believe that I would pack it for him for school. He went on to say that I was calling attention to his already "different" needs, saying that it is bad enough he has to pack every day to eat safely, but then I had to throw in the good ole broccoli slaw on top of it. Okay, maybe the broccoli slaw was taking it a little too far. Who can blame a Mom for wanting to make sure her kids eat healthy? Apparently we will be sticking to applesauce or grapes for lunch and extra fruits & veggies at home for snacks and meals to make up for what he is missing at lunch. I do pack Lara Bars (they count as a fruit!), but he doesn't always have room for one after his sandwich and other stuff. I make sure he has one every day in case he gets hungry, if he eats it, I replace it, if not it just stays in the lunchbox.
So, tomorrow, do I pack the roasted brussel sprouts or spinach salad for Jon for lunch? LOL! Just kidding.

SEWANEE, Tenn.—Propelled by strong pitching and a potent offense, the Birmingham-Southern baseball team scored a pair of wins over Sewanee, 14-2 and 15-3, Saturday afternoon at Montgomery Field in Sewanee, Tenn. In the conference openers for both squads, the victories improve BSC to 7-1, while Sewanee falls to 5-3.
The Panthers scored early and often in game one as every batter in the BSC lineup safely reached base in their first at-bat in the first inning. With the bases loaded, senior Jeremy Hatley brought home the contest's first run with a single that scored sophomore Taylor McCracken. Brown then singled home senior Evan Grovenstein. The next batter, freshman Zach Wingate, cleared the bases with a three-RBI double to expand the lead to 5-0. After a single from senior Ethan Netherton, junior Jake Campbell's double plated both Wingate and Netherton. BSC's offensive clinic ended with a RBI double from junior Brandon Marino to score Campbell. When the dust settled after the first half of the opening inning, the Panthers used eight hits to score eight runs while stranding only one runner.
The eight runs proved to be more than enough support for junior starter Blake Stevens. He would allow only one run in his five innings of work. Stevens improved his record to 2-0 on the season and in the process fanned seven batters to only one walk issued. Fellow junior Paul Caudill continued the strong work from the hill. In two innings he struck out two more Sewanee batters as only one more run would be scored for the home team.
The Panthers returned to their scoring ways in the third when a McCracken sacrifice fly scored Campbell. Mayfield wrapped up the inning's scoring with a triple that brought home Marino. Brown opened the Panther half of the fourth with a double and came across the plate two batters later off a Netherton RBI to expand the BSC lead to 11-0. Three more runs in the sixth, highlighted by a triple from freshman Jack Rhodes, brought the Panthers to their final tally of 14 runs in the series opener.
Superior batting and pitching from the Panthers continued to be the theme in game two. Senior Miles Nordgren struck out five, walked none, and allowed only one hit in five shutout innings. Nordgren moved to 2-0 this season with a performance that saw no Sewanee batter advance past first base against him and only one hit the ball out of the infield.
BSC did not get on to the scoreboard until the second inning of game two. Brown started the second by drawing a walk and was then immediately brought home one batter later by Wingate's double. Wingate did not have to wait long to come home when three batters later Marino scored the freshman with a RBI single. With the bases loaded in the third, after the first three batters of the inning successfully reached base, Wingate hit a two-RBI double to bring around Hatley and Mayfield. A wild pitch plated Brown and an error then scored Wingate to expand the Panther lead to 6-0. A Marino sacrifice fly in the fifth pushed the BSC advantage to 7-0.
The Panthers bookended their afternoon with another eight-run inning in their final at-bat to match the eight runs scored in inning one of the opener. Junior Casey Lambert's RBI single opened the scoring spree when Caudill crossed the dish. After a single from freshman David Scott, a Mayfield double brought home Lambert and Marino. BSC then capitalized off a Sewanee error that scored Mayfield and Scott. Marino concluded his five-RBI day with a double that cleared the bases and brought home Brown, Rhodes, and junior Justin Haynes.
The Panthers and Tigers finish the series Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. BSC is at home on Wednesday, hosting in-state non-conference rival Huntingdon at 6 p.m. at Striplin Field.

Dr. Oliver will receive the award on July 8 at the NEHA Annual Educational Conference in Las Vegas for four decades of significant and lasting contributions to environmental and public health through education, leadership, dedication and community service.
The Snyder Award is given annually in honor of NSF International's co-founder and first executive director, Walter F. Snyder, in recognition of outstanding contributions to the advancement of environmental health.
"Dr. Priscilla Oliver's achievements reflect the principles expressed by Walter F. Snyder and the public health mission of NSF International," said Kevan P. Lawlor, NSF International President and CEO. "Her service educating, mentoring and encouraging students toward careers in environmental health, as well as her work in community health and professional organizations, demonstrate her strong commitment to the promotion of environmental and public health. These accomplishments make her a very worthy recipient of the Walter F. Snyder Award."
"As a trailblazer, Dr. Oliver has accomplished much on behalf of environmental health goals by teaching, being an active member of the community and conducting research. She is highly regarded and respected for her ability to encourage environmental health education, service and collaboration. But most of all, you will just not find a person who is more passionate and more able to excite you about contributing to the good causes that Priscilla works so hard on," said Nelson Fabian, Executive Director and CEO of NEHA.
Dr. Oliver is a Senior Life Scientist with the Office of the Regional Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Atlanta. She also serves as the U.S. EPA Region 4 Regional Program Manager for Partnerships for Sustainable Healthcare, working with state agencies and hospitals throughout the southern U.S. to reduce overall hospital waste and prevent pollution.

As a site reviewer for the National Environmental Health Science and Protection Accreditation Council, she helps colleges obtain accreditation of their environmental health academic programs. In addition, Dr. Oliver serves as a mentor for aspiring students and junior faculty.

Melanie Baskind scored her second goal with only 17 seconds remaining (Gil Talbot).
FAIRFIELD, Conn. – In the final game of the season, Melanie Baskind tallied two goals and Elizabeth Weisman added a score, while goalkeepers Alexandra Millet and Jessica Wright combined to earn the victory for Harvard in a 2-1 win at Fairfield Thursday evening. Katherine Sheeleigh assisted on a goal and finishes her career sixth in program history with 79 points, as the Crimson concludes its season with a 9-7-1 overall record.
Only hours after being named Ivy League Player of the Year, Sheeleigh helped Harvard grab a 1-0 lead early on in the eighth minute, as she sent a pass to Weisman. The freshman, standing in front of the cage, kicked the ball over the head of Fairfield goalkeeper Kelly Boudreau.
The Crimson maintained its lead until 20:25 when Fairfield's Nikki Stanton scored off a corner kick by Carly Beyar. The corner kick landed on the near side, and Stanton sent a shot through the Harvard defense to knot the game.
Harvard opened the second half with back-to-back shots coming off corner kicks, but Boudreau stopped chances by Alexandra Conigliaro and Lindsey Kowal. Midway through the second stanza, Baskind put the Crimson ahead, 2-1, as she kicked home a loose ball in front of the goal at 64:05. With time winding down in the game, Fairfield pushed Boudreau forward to gain an extra player in the Harvard zone. The Crimson though gained possession and Baskind was able to score in an empty net with only 17 seconds to play.
Boudreau made nine saves for Fairfield, which see its record drop to 8-9-3. Harvard outshot the Stags, 16-9, and had an 8-3 advantage in corner kicks for the game.
Wright started the game in net for Harvard and made one save, while Millet played the final 59 minutes and finished with two stops.

Boxing Kangaroos
Boxing Kangaroos are creatures which strike fear through any
well educated brave heart. Therefore in America's case it really only affects about 2% of the population. The Boxing Kangaroo is an elusive beast living mainly in the mythical 'Os-Try-Lya'-land, or 'Mini-England' as it's known to Europe. Their diet mainly consists of dust and tourists, but occasionally they eat their own back legs, replacing them with whatever is at hand. Generally dust.
According to ancient Ming legend, the great master Lendof visited Australia on a passing to the Planet Saturn to teach the Kangaroos how to fight. He got caught up with the Kangaroos, now called Boxing Kangaroos, and taught them many things including how to put fear into someones heart using your fist. After his visit as a souvenir he bought Uluru off the local people called the Abonigidals and renamed it "Air's Rock". It is still a sacred site to the local Boxing Kangaroo population.
The Boxing Kangaroo has been portrayed at many sporting events as a patriot of Australia, the red gloves and determined look trying to win anything from the ashes to the football. This idea of the Australian animal is just so wrong. Boxing kangaroos are born with blue gloves, but years of surgery to the general torso areas of their victims (using their fists) change that quickly. They are giant 6 foot tall furry creatures kind of like a mix between Dinosaurs, Birds and Elton John. They can't sing so they have about the same vocal range as Elton John too. Not much else is known about these elusive beasts, as generally scientists studying them are killed in the aforementioned surgery procedure. The Elton John facts were simply discovered because some Japanese tourists stumbled upon a kangaroo karaoke night, and were allowed to live because they knew all the great ToykoPop hits.
Generally located in the deeply folk-lored blue Centre of Australia, but they also occasionally habitat the blue Slightly Left Of Centre regions of Australia, and a sparse population in the Red Outskirts. Never actually try to find a Boxing Kangaroo, because they will punch you so hard that time will reverse itself and you will only be 2 months old.
Catching a Killer Kangaroo[edit]
You're joking right?
- Cousin of the wilderbeest
- In mythology, the Killer Kangaroo is the grandfather of Oscar Wilde
- Cousin of the wilderbeest
- Some times spelt 'Boxing Kangarro', but that's just wrong.
- There are 64 squares of a chessboard
- Unicorns are in fact actually also cousins of the wilderbeest

MOS Burger
Whilst working in Los Angeles in the 1960s, founder Satoshi Sakurada frequented a local hamburger chain called Tommy's. Inspired by the 'cook to order' concept, Mr. Sakurada hit on the idea that this kind of hamburger joint would be just as popular with his fellow countrymen. After returning to Japan, Mr. Sakurada set up the first MOS Burger in Tokyo in 1972. Taking inspiration from their name "Mountain, Ocean, Sun" and slogan "Making people happy through food" MOS Burger has grown to the 2nd largest burger chain in Japan (behind McDonald's) with over 1,400 outlets throughout, and with another 100 spread across Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia. We had been hearing rumours of MOS expanding to Australia for a while and after the opening of a Brisbane "Test Run Store" in March, we decided that we had to check out the original. Each of us grabbed a different item but I had my eyes set on the MOS Cheeseburger that came on a soft whole-grain bun, a beef + pork mince pattie, Australian cheese, thick slice of tomato, onion, mayonnaise, American mustard and the classic MOS meat sauce.
