Sales of Boston Marathon medals on eBay stir buzz
- People are listing 2013 Boston Marathon medals for sale on eBay for up to %241%2C000
- Marathoners can%27t imagine parting with such an emblem of achievement
- EBay responded with sympathy for victims and said it reviews questionable listings
EBay listings offering medals from the 2013 Boston Marathon have appalled runners who consider it insensitive to sell a memento of the tragedy.
Several ads have cropped up on the auction website listing medals from the April 15 race, many of them for hundreds of dollars and up to $1,000. None of several sellers contacted for this story responded to e-mails, but all of the ads claim either that the medal is authentic or that the seller ran the race and received his or her medal despite the explosions that killed three people and injured more than 260.
Two medals were still for sale Tuesday evening. Several other auctions had ended without a buyer. One seller said the proceeds would go to the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts.
One listing said, "I ran the race and this was handed to me at the finish." Another said, "I trained hard, ran and received this medal. Selling to run again next year. This is for shops and collectors of memorabilia."
One eBay user issued a fake listing with nothing for sale, using it to chastise the medal sales and suggesting the medals were not earned by the sellers.
"What an utter and complete shame that people would spend HUNDREDS, and even a THOUSAND dollars to own a medal that was NOT EARNED, but was stolen," the fake listing said. "How despicable. How could any human see the carnage and choose to use that as the time to LOOT a merchandise stand? How could ANY OF YOU put the money in the pockets of those people and not send that money to the people that have lost one or both legs?"
Jon Vizena, a photographer and runner of ultra marathons (races longer than the 26.2-mile marathon distance) said anyone who would sell their Boston Marathon paraphernalia without donating the profits to charity is "a disgrace."
Added Vizena, 31, of Boston, "Monetary gain from an act of terror is disrespect at the highest level, utterly disgusting."
Some runners are skeptical that the sellers really ran the marathon.
"For me, as a marathon runner, that's kind of like your prize for all the effort and training you've done, so I can't imagine that anything sold on there would be from the actual runners that finished the race," said marathoner Aaron Tani, 50, of Bend, Ore., creator of the 2,100-member Facebook Runners group.
"To me, if I ran the Boston Marathon and got that medal, I would frame it," Tani said, "It would be that important to me."
Fort Worth running coach Curt Thomas said he heard about the medal sales a couple of days after the marathon.
"I find it disturbing that you put in all this hard work to train or raise money for charities, and then there's a tragic event and you try to make money off of it," said Thomas, 42. "Me personally, I would never purchase anything from a tragic event that led to injuries and death."
Thomas, who has run marathons in Los Angeles and New York, said he would never give up a medal from the Boston race if he were lucky enough to get there.
"I would probably wear it to work every day," he said.
Brian Kelley, 31, a runner and blogger who conceived of the Boston Strong runs for people across the country to help raise money for marathon victims, said medals are a symbol of pride and accomplishment. Kelley is widely known on social media as Pavement Runner.
"I guess there might be an interest in having an official piece for historic reasons based on the impact it has had on the nation, sport and community," said Kelley, of Concord, Calif. "I'm hoping that any money raised from the sale of official gear or merchandise is being donated to charity."
EBay issued a statement of sympathy for those affected by the Boston bombings and saying questionable listings are reviewed.
"Out of respect for victims, eBay does not allow listings that graphically portray, glorify or attempt to profit from human tragedy or suffering," the statement said. "Ebay's teams are monitoring related listings to ensure they comply with our policies and also taking into account reports from our community members."
Some runners said the race community was abuzz over the sales, but representatives of the big races, including those in New York and Chicago, would not comment on the eBay listings.
"What individuals choose to do with their runner medals is, and always has been, up to their discretion," said Marc Davis, communications manager for the Boston Marathon.

On an unusually warm Wednesday afternoon, visiting Mount St. Joseph Academy fell to league rival St. Basil for the second time this season, but in last week's outing the Magic showed a marked improvement since the first meeting between the teams.
At the end of March, the Mount lost at home to the Panthers by a score of 16-5, committing nine errors along the way. Last Wednesday, St. Basil scored the winning run in the bottom of the fifth to nip the Mounties, 2-1, and on defense the Magic looked like a different team.
Today was our first game with zero fielding errors," confirmed Bill Thompson, who is in his first season coaching the Mount along with colleague Jen Carlo. "One thing we preach is that when you have errors, you lose games, and I thought the girls did a great job today. We just didn't get the right hit at the right time to win the game. Coach Carlo has made great progress in getting the girls focused out in the field; knowing situations and where to go with the ball."
St. Basil, always a force to be reckoned with in the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies, improved to 7-2 in the league and 8-2 overall, with its only losses coming against powerhouse Nazareth Academy. The improvement demonstrated by the Magic out on the field has not been reflected in the win/loss figures so far; they went home from Jenkintown last Wednesday at 2-6 in the AACA and 2-8 overall.
The Mount St. Joe line-up at St. Basil was a youthful one. The Magic were missing seniors Heather MacFarlane and Julianne Looby, their regular right fielder and designated hitter, along with starting first baseman Melissa Williams and her back-up, Charlotte Banzhof, who are both juniors.
Starting pitcher Kathryn Cnudde is still a sophomore, and Thompson said "She's throwing very well right now, really coming along for a young pitcher."
Cnudde compiled three strike outs with no walks at St. Basil last week, while winning pitcher Sam Gibson struck out six and gave up one base on balls. The Panthers had a 5-4 edge in hits in the game.
In the bottom of the first, SBA's Anyssa Flores led off with an infield grounder and beat the throw to first. She went to third on a sacrifice bunt by Michelle Paulosky, and scored on another bunt, this one by Melissa Mulvey. MSJ's Cnudde picked up her first strike-out to retire the side.
The Magic got just 10 batters up to the plate over the first three innings; junior third baseman Maeve Elliott drew a walk in the second but was left on base. With one out in the top of the fourth there were Mount runners on first and second, but one of them then mistook a ground-out for the third out of the inning, walking off the bag and getting tagged for the real third out.
In the bottom half Panthers clean-up hitter Erin Scanlon pounded a double to right center with one out, but two fly balls ended the inning, with sophomore Julia Mustin charging the ball in centerfield to make the second of these catches. Part of the Mount's Norwood Connection, Mustin and former Norwood Fontbonne Academy classmate Lauren Stabler sparked the Mount offense in the top of the fifth frame.
With one out, Mustin reached first on a soft grounder down the third base line, then St. Basil's Gibson struck out the next batter. Next, Stabler stepped up to drive the ball between short and second. Flores, the Panthers' shortstop, was able to reach out and knock the ball down before it got far into centerfield, but Mustin made it around to score and the game was tied, 1-1.
On the flip side of the inning, Colie Woodill led off for the hosts with a single to shallow right field, then held at first on a fly out to left field. A sacrifice bunt by Brogan got Woodill to second, and she scored on a hit over the head of the shortstop by Flores.
The Panthers made their 2-1 lead stand up by sending the Magic down in order in both the sixth and seventh innings.

Virgin Media's site, virginmedia.com, was still out of commission Wednesday in a presumed continuation of yesterday's attacks by hacktivist collective Anonymous, which were launched in response to the media giant's blocking of popular torrent site, The Pirate Bay.
Virgin Media blacked out access to the Swedish file-sharing site last week in compliance with an April 30th ruling by Britain's High Court, which currently requires five of the UK's largest Internet service providers to block the site.
Anonymous began a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack at 5:00 pm BT (12:00 pm ET) on Tuesday designed to overwhelm the site's associated computer system. As of 6:00 pm ET, virginmedia.com remains inaccessible. TalkTalk, another UK-based internet service provider included in the court order, was also forced offline Wednesday.
The Pirate Bay, which hosts "torrent" files that allow users to download or share information, has come under fire over the past three years. While file sharing is not, in of itself, an illegal activity, the site has become a hub for the exchange of copyrighted materials, and in 2009 the site's founders, Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm and Carl Lundström, were found guilty of promoting copyright infringement by a Swedish court. The four men were sentenced to time in prison and millions of dollars' worth of fines and damages paid to entertainment company plaintiffs.
Despite this, The Pirate Bay doesn't seem to be taking the block personally (possibly because this is where the founders were being incarcerated). The site issued a statement on its Facebook page yesterday denouncing Anonymous' actions, saying: "We do NOT encourage these actions. We believe in the open and free internets, where anyone can express their views. Even if we strongly disagree with them and even if they hate us. So don't fight them using their ugly methods. DDOS and blocks are both forms of censorship."
Anonymous, however, posted a response on its Tumblr page saying that The Pirate Bay had missed the point of the attack:
The attacks are not simply about facilitating access to the Pirate Bay website but to stop the type of order used to block your website being used as a precedent for further censorship on the internet. The entire reason for the protest is to protect freedom of expression from being blocked without any form of judicial process. ISPs are the gateways to democracy in this technology age, to censor access to websites with such an abuse of the legal process, outside parliament our a Humans Right court is unlaw and an abuse of power.
Virgin Media is one of five internet service providers in the UK – the others being Sky, Everything Everywhere, O2 and the other targeted ISP, TalkTalk – that have been ordered by the High Court to block access to the site by this Friday. A sixth provider, BT, has requested more time to consider whether or not to comply with the court order.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced today an agreement that will save the Maid of the Mist boat...
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced today an agreement that will save the Maid of the Mist boat tour attraction from shutting down in Niagara Falls, Gannett's Haley Viccaro reports.
Maid of the Mist Corp. plans to invest $32 million to allow winter storage and maintenance of its tour boats in the former Schoellkopf Power Station site, Cuomo said. New York State Parks will then own the improved tourism attraction.
"The agreement that the State of New York has reached with the Maid of the Mist for a winter boat storage location on the New York side of the falls will ensure that this Western New York corporation continues to bring great value to the region's tourism and economy, including increased revenues for State Parks," Cuomo said in a statement.
Maid of the Mist will increase license payments to state parks, which could reach a total of $105 million over the next 30 years, Cuomo said. Maid of the Mist will be required to pay a minimum of $2.2 million to State Parks for 2014, which is an approximate 50 percent increase compared to $1.47 million in 2011.
The Schoellkopf site is maintained by the parks department under an agreement with the Power Authority. The agreement was made between the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the state Power Authority and the Maid of the Mist Corp.
The Schoellkopf site is located in Cataract City, replacing the current storage site near the Horseshoe Falls in Ontario. Construction at the new site would include two platforms for boat storage, a new elevator and a vertical marine lift and enhanced access for the public.
"The agreement that we've reached with State Parks and the New York Power Authority will allow us to continue these unparalleled boat tours in the years ahead while contributing additional benefits for the people of Western New York," said the president of Maid of the Mist Christopher Glynn in a statement.
The investment will provide a greater number of amenities and recreational activities for park visitors. The new storage site will allow better access to hiking trails, a public observation deck and the possibility of a rock-climbing site.
Maid of the Mist is also planning on offering on-line tickets sales, renovated bathrooms, a smart phone app, and an enhanced system to decrease the time people wait on lines for the tour, Cuomo said.

In late August last summer, the high-flying Fire were getting set to host D.C. United. Coming off a thrilling 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the Colorado Rapids at Toyota Park the previous week, many thought Chicago had turned a corner in regards to its home form.
As it turned out, that wasn't the case. The Fire played uninspired, ineffective soccer against D.C, resulting in a 1-0 home loss that dropped the team's home record to 4-4-4.
"It's screwed up for us," said Fire defender C.J. Brown after that loss. "We can't figure it out. We're not doing what we should be doing at home and we're disappointed. We disappointed the fans, they come out to see us play and we seem to make it look really, really bad somehow."
Ultimately, the Fire finished the 2009 regular season with a 5-4-6 home record -- third worst in the league. The team needs to improve on that mark in 2010, and it'll get its first chance to do so on Saturday night when the Fire host San Jose in the Toyota Park opener.
Added emphasis will be placed on the Fire's home form this year because of the fact that the Fire have gotten off to a relatively slow start away from Toyota Park in the early stages of this season. The team is 0-1-1 on the road and, if those results are anything to go by, it looks like the Fire will have a tough time matching last season's 6-3-6 away record.
If Chicago picks up more points at Toyota Park this year, a dip in road form won't be a problem. But if the home struggles continue, Carlos de los Cobos & Co. could be in for a tough year.
But there's every reason to expect the Fire to do well at home this year. Toyota Park provides the team with one of the better home-field advantages in MLS and there's no reason they shouldn't be able to take advantage of it -- starting this week against San Jose -- to notch a solid amount of home wins.

|Version 9 (modified by 13 years ago) (diff),
The aim of this page is to describe getting Django to run on Windows, served by IIS and with an SQL Server backend.
Useful for people who already have such a setup (You wont find me discussing the installation of SQL Server here) and can't justify (or just don't want) Apache and PostgreSQL as well.
This may take a while. Best attempted with a mug of caffeinated beverage handy.
NB, I'm working from Windows Server 2003/IIS 6 and SQL Server 2005.
Note: This doesn't appear to work with Django 0.91 (the pyisapie.py handler is written to the refactored APIs in 0.92 and later) [SF]
NB also: The whole point of this is to keep Python running even when not serving requests, to reduce the overhead of starting Python all the time. This means that a lot of changes you make while configuring it wont take effect until you do a full IIS restart.
Note: With IIS 6, you only have to right-click on the application pool running your services and select 'recycle' for changes to take.
Credit to: http://thinkhole.org/wp/2006/04/03/django-on-windows-howto/ for the Django on Windows with Postgres/Apache guide, from which I have grabbed some parts of the django-on-windows setup.
- Install Python
- Install Python's Windows extensions (optional)
- Install an ISAPI extension for IIS
- Install Django
- Combine Django and IIS
- Configure Django to look at SQL Server
- Test
- Celebrate
Install Python
Head to http://www.python.org/ and look at the menu on the left; in the "quick links" section is a link to the Windows installer for the latest stable version of Python. Download and run it, following the wizard steps until it is complete.
Phew. Easy bit over with, it gets harder from here on in.
Install Win32 extensions for Python (Optional)
These are some Windows specific extensions for Python, and they are NOT required for the IIS driver later.
Visit https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ and download the Windows installer, run through it. ( That URL looks neater, but the download link gives Error 500 at the moment. This one seems to work though: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018 )
Install an ISAPI extension for IIS
Lots of steps, and no installer.
This is an extension that loads the Python interpreter into memory while IIS is running, and uses it to serve requests more quickly. CGI apps need to start a new instance of the interpreter for every request, this does not have that overhead - it performs a similar service to mod_python on Apache servers.
Go to http://pyisapie.sourceforge.net/ and download it (look in the menu on the right, under "Links" for a download link). Unzip the archive so you can copy files out of it.
Documentation is in the readme files, but at the time of writing the install is:
- Copy the PyISAPIe.dll file to your Python path, e.g. c:\python24
- Set the security permissions on the dll file so that IIS can read it. In the case of IIS/Server 2003 you need to give read permissions to the "Network Service" account
- Look in the <extracted archive>\source\PyISAPIe\Python\ folder and copy the Http folder to c:\python24\lib\site-packages (adjust, depending on where you installed Python). Note: the Http folder is case sensitive. Saving in 'http' (or any other variation) will not work [SF].
- Open the IIS Manager from Administrative Tools, and create a new virtual directory in your website (give it permissions to execute ISAPI extensions when the wizard asks.
- Go to the properties of the folder, click on the configuration button (if it's greyed out, click 'create' first), and add a new wildcard extension (the lower box), locate the pyisapie.dll file and untick the "check file exists" box.
- IIS 6 Specific: In the IIS Manager, go to the "Web Service Extensions" section, and right click -> add new web service extension.
- Give it a name, add the pyisapie.dll fill as a required file and check the box to set the extension status to allowed.
That's it installed. In the <extracted archive>\source\PyISAPIe\Python\examples folder is a file called Info.py. Copy this to your new virtual directory folder, and then try and view http:// your site / Info.py
- You don't _have_ to create a virtual directory - you can do this with the root folder. If you do choose a virtual directory, say /myfolder, then only urls starting with /myfolder will be handled by PyISAPIe.
- IIS 5.x doesn't support wildcard application maps, at least not through the configuration interface.
On IIS, procedure is as follows:
- Right Click on virtual directory and choose "properties"
- Ensure "Execute Permissions" is set to "Scripts and Executables"
- Click "Configuration" (opposite "Scripts and Executables")
- On "App Mappings" tab, select "Add"
- For Executable, browse to pyisapie.dll (needs full path if you enter manually)
- For extension enter * (this will redirect all requests to pyisapi)
- You should probably limit the verbs allowed; I left as all since it was for internal use.
- OK to close all the open dialogs. [SF]
It should work. If it doesn't, when you find out why please come back and explain what happened and how you fixed it. ;)
The PyISAPIe extension has a driver for Django as well, so that's where I will be heading, after this:
Installing Django
I'm not going to say what this is; if you're here, following this, then you should really know by now!
Get the development version if you wish
If you want to keep up with the latest Django developments, you will need to download and install a subversion client for Windows. (e.g. Tortoise SVN, install it, then create a new folder somewhere. Right click on it, and choose to SVN Checkout. Give the URL of the repository as: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ and click OK.)
Or get the normal version
Otherwise, just download Django from the main site, and extract the archive to a folder.
Do The Install
Drop to a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd -> OK), change to your Python folder and install Django. Example:
c:\> cd python24\django c:\python24\django> python setup.py install
NB: You will probably need to do some messing around with paths and such to make this work neatly. I'm afraid I'm leaving that to you for now. Without doing that you can still test the Django install, but will need a full path to django-admin.py:
E:\> md test e:\> cd test E:\test>d:\Python24\django\django\bin\django-admin.py startproject proj E:\test>cd proj E:\test\proj>python manage.py runserver Validating models... 0 errors found. Django version 0.95 (post-magic-removal), using settings 'proj.settings' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.
Now open a web browser, and visit the site. It should serve a neat page to you.
Linking Django to PyISAPIe
Next, you must follow the readme in the PyISAPIe examples\django folder (it explains where to copy two files - one goes into the Django install (One goes into python24\lib\site-packages\django-xyz-123.egg\core\handlers\). Then edit the isapi.py file you just copied to lib\site-packages\http\. See where it says you should change a line? If applicable, edit it for your django.settings.module settings.
Serving Django with IIS
You have created a new virtual folder in IIS, and added the PyISAPIe extension and tweaked it to drive django sites. There is also an addition to Django so it can be driven by PyISAPIe. And, you can now use django-admin.py to create a site inside the virtual folder.
You have everything you need to have Django running from IIS.
... I'll leave you to sort out your Import Path and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and stuff ...
Now, while I don't have an app running, I do have Django errors rather than IIS errors. I need to get my model access sorted for my test app.
Configure Django to look at SQL Server
With any luck, the suggestion that there is an ado_mssql backend will do, and this will be easy.

First, the quick takeaway points after reviewing the TV tape of the Dolphins' 17-16 loss to the Browns on Sunday:
* Pretty awful day for any offensive lineman not named Jake Long.
* Chad Henne goes to Davone Bess on third down practically every single time, and it didn't work much.
* Brandon Marshall got pushed around by a cornerback five inches shorter than him.
* Reggie Bush never lined up as a receiver, and never played a snap with Daniel Thomas.
* The Browns figured out the Dolphins' zone defense pretty early, and moved the ball all game long with the short underneath stuff.
* Get to know the names of Browns pass rushers Phil Taylor, Chris Gocong, Ahtyba Rubin and Jabaal Sheard.
* The Browns tried to give this game away to the Dolphins, but the Dolphins gave it right back.
And then there was this interesting observation from CBS commentator Randy Cross on the team assembled by general manager Jeff Ireland:
"I'm not sure they're built to compete in their division, built the right way to compete with the New Englands and the New York Jets," Cross said in the fourth quarter. "I look at their personnel, I look at them on tape, and I don't think they are, and that holds (Tony) Sparano back."
Yet it's Sparano on the hot seat this week with the Dolphins at 0-3, and not a whisper about Ireland.
Anyway, here are my quick-hit observations of Sunday's game, in a mostly-chronological format:

Her character, Dr. Helen Magnus, is a "cryptozoologist" who creates the Sanctuary Institute to protect and study the mutants that skulk around her future dystopian city. Sanctuary is the first direct-to-web show to jump to a major cable channel. It's also the first TV show to use almost all greenscreen sets. Magnus and her daughter Ashley (pictured) also meet Jack The Ripper and Bigfoot, just in case you were worried the show might not be cheesy enough for Sci Fi. Click through for a gallery of stills, and more info.
It makes sense that the Sci Fi Channel would want to pick up Sanctuary, since Tapping is one of its biggest stars, and producer Damian Kindler also worked on Stargate SG-1. The network ordered 13 episodes of the series, which will incorporate most of the eight 15-minute webisodes Kindler has already shot, but with improved CGI effects. Some characters, including Tapping's assistant Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne), will have an expanded role.
The show's move to cable is a victory for direct-to-web programming, as well as a sign that all-CGI sets, in the style of Sin City or 300, can work on TV as well. This time next year, you can expect to see hundreds of online shows featuring cult TV actors emoting in front of pretty CGI pictures. [Hollywood Reporter]

She created the Katniss braid. She designed the hair for The Hunger Games. And now, Linda Flowers, Hair Department Head, is Catching Fire as the latest in the Hunger Games trilogy of films (based on the books) prepares to launch.
Last year, Flowers was working on wigs to present to the director and costume designer for their input and approval for a film that she was designing. The film was, of course, Catching Fire, the second in the trilogy, but at the time, she was still being discreet. Her t-shirt, however, gives her away!
In this video, she is at The Doves Studio in Santa Monica where she spent two days with owners Christopher and Sonya Dove, along with InStyler Professional's Dean Banowetz, celeb hairdresser Alyn Topper and Emmy-Award winning stylist, Joe Matke. This talented team was working with Flowers to experiment with design and color for the many wigs required for the film.
"When there is that much hair to do," says Flowers. "I need to know that I have the very best of the best that can follow direction, re-create exact formulas and work as a team, all while completely adding to the creative discussion. All of these people are incredibly creative in their own right."
Banowetz, who has been lead hair designer on American Idol, does interview-duties here.

Sometimes success can depend on the smallest bit of information.
Lipscomb coach Bill Taylor is expecting both his men's and women's cross country teams to finish strong this season. But, when they open the 2012 season in two different locations Friday night Taylor is more interested in seeking information than high finishes.
Taylor and assistant coach Luke Syverson will be traveling with the top 14 women and top nine men to Fort Myers, Fla., for the FGCU Invitational. The cross country course, known as the Buckingham Property, will also be the site of the Atlantic Sun Cross Country Championships.
"The group going down to Florida Gulf Coast is not going to be racing all out," Taylor said. "We are there more to gather information for the end of the season.
"We have never seen the Florida Gulf Coast course before. I don't know what times will mean there."
Assistant coaches Jenny Randolph and Marcus Evans will take the rest of the team members on a short trip to the Vaughn's Creek Course at Percy Warner Park for the Belmont Invitational. The women's 4-K starts at 5:30. The men's 5-K gets underway at 6 p.m.
"The group that runs at Belmont will be interesting," Taylor said. "We have some kids who have been dinged up who weren't able to qualify for Florida. The times will be more important in the Belmont meet because we will compare those to previous years."
Taylor will also be finding out more about his runners in race conditions. The top runners were chosen for the opening meets based on time trials over a two-mile course.
"I'm not sure what our expectations are in either meet," Taylor said. "We are a little behind in our training. We are about two weeks off from where we were last year.
"I'm looking, primarily, for how people interact with each other, how tough they are, their strategy and their tactics."
The Lady Bisons, the defending A-Sun Champions, are picked to repeat in a preseason poll by conference coaches. They enter the season ranked seventh in the South Region by the USTFCCCA.
"For the women we are trying to make that jump to the next level," Taylor said. "We want to give our best shot to repeat as conference champs, but at the same time we want to set up the team to qualify for nationals. Our expectations are pretty high."
Conference coaches have picked the Bison men to finish third in the A-Sun. In the USTFCCCA preseason poll the men's squad is ranked 12th in the South Region.
"With the men we are looking for our first conference championship," Taylor said. "There is a lot more youth on the men's team. The four freshmen guys, Elliott Ramirez, Daniel Gardner, Matt Fry and Matt Hall going down to Florida Gulf Coast are going to be in the fire right away."
In the Belmont Invitational the freshmen and some veteran runners who have been dealing with injuries, will be of particular interest to Taylor.
"Ryan Gadsey, who was in our top four last year, will be running at Belmont," Taylor said. "He had a little bit of an injury to start the season. We would like to see where he is at in terms of progress.
"Our top freshmen, Austin Casassa and Grant Stromberg have been dinged up so they didn't qualify for Florida. We are kind of curious about where they are going to be. They were really fast in high school. We would like to see them progress and be in the mix and help us later in the season."

Offering eMailboxes to Consumers: An Opportunity for the Postal Service?
Out of 23 posts in industrialized countries, the U.S. Postal Service is one of the few remaining posts not offering an eMailbox solution to its citizens. And while there are private sector technology industry standouts in the U.S. that have developed widely popular e-mail and secure storage services, their business models sacrifice consumer privacy in the interest of ad-based revenue generation.

TUESDAY, July 10, 2012 (HealthDay News) --Although prompt medical treatment is essential for people experiencing a stroke, hospitals aren't notified about incoming stroke patients in about one-third of cases, two new studies find.
The failure of emergency medical services (EMS) personnel to alert hospitals adds precious minutes on to how long it takes to diagnose stroke patients and administer clot-busting drugs, according to researchers.
Experts from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association advised EMS to notify hospitals about incoming stroke patients so preparations can be made for their timely evaluation and treatment.
In the studies, researchers examined about 372,000 cases of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blocked blood vessel to the brain) between 2003 and 2011. The patients were taken by ambulance to one of nearly 1,600 hospitals participating in a quality improvement program -- called "Get with The Guidelines-Stroke" -- launched by the heart/stroke associations.
One study, published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes, found that when EMS alerted hospitals about incoming stroke cases, the patients were diagnosed and treated more quickly.
Fast diagnosis and treatment is critical because certain clot-busting drugs have to be given within 3 to 4.5 hours after the onset of stroke symptoms to be effective, according to the study.
But a second study found that EMS pre-notification of stroke patients happened in only 67 percent of stroke cases in 2011, a slight increase from 2003 when hospitals were notified in about 58 percent of cases.
That study is published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
"Despite national guidelines recommending pre-notification by EMS for acute stroke patients, it's disappointing that there's been little improvement," the senior author of both studies, Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, a professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in an American Heart Association news release. "However, with these powerful new findings demonstrating substantial benefits with pre-notification, we have a tremendous opportunity to make positive changes in this component of stroke care."
For example, among patients who arrived at the hospital within two hours of experiencing symptoms, 83 percent with EMS pre-notification received the clot-busting drug tPA within the 3-hour window, compared to 79 percent without this advance notification. These patients also received imaging tests five minutes sooner and received clot-busting drugs two minutes faster once they got to the hospital.
Rates of hospital pre-notification varied widely -- from 93 percent in Montana to 20 percent in Washington, D.C., for example.
"The large variations by state and hospital are really striking and should be a concern because the potential for ideal patient care isn't being met," said Fonarow. "We've developed a map of rates by state. This tool can identify areas that are most in need of improved stroke care systems."
The researchers added that EMS pre-notification was much less likely among older or black patients. Rates were also lower among those with a history of stroke, diabetes or clogged leg arteries, a condition known as peripheral vascular disease.
This shows a need to target EMS education, concluded Fonarow. "These patients are at higher risk for stroke and other ailments and may present challenges to EMS determining in the field whether their symptoms represent stroke," he said. "The goal is that EMS provides advanced notification for every potential stroke patient being transported."

1. How has management helped you in your life?
I received my management degree (along with an accounting degree) from the College of St. Benedict/St. John's University. I then earned my MBA from the Carlson School of Management (U of MN). Both of these experiences prepared me well for my career path. I started working for several family owned businesses as well as helped launch a start-up company. After 15 years in the business world, I decided to pursue another passion - higher education. I always knew that I wanted to work at CSB/SJU, and in 2008, the opportunity presented itself. Being an academic advisor and specifically advising management majors, has been a wonderful & fulfilling experience.
2. What do you like most about your job?
I love working with "emerging adults" in one of the most exciting times of their lives. Watching students mature and grow in their four years here is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job.
3. What would be your advice to students?
My advice to students is often very simple, "Go to class, use your words, and do your work well". Although this advice may seem simplistic, it can often be applied to all aspects of life.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In a game in which 58 fouls were called, Tennessee State fell to Lipscomb University, 75-70, on Monday night.
TSU (0-5) was 20-of-28 (71.4 percent) from the charity stripe while the Bisons (2-2) were 37-for-50 (74 percent).
Patrick Miller led the Tigers with 28 points and added three rebounds, three steals and two assists.
Jordan Gaither scored a career-high 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting and Jay Harris tied his personal best with 12 points with a 3-for-9 mark.
M.J. Rhett had a team-high nine rebounds and chipped in six points.
Miller kept TSU in the game early, scoring 11 of TSU's first 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting during the game's first 12 minutes. The rest of the Tigers were 1-for-15 during that span.
Still, Tennessee State remained just one point down, as the Bisons helped the Tiger cause by committing eight turnovers through the first quarter of the game.
Lipscomb was finally able to take care of the ball and rattled off a 6-0 run to take the lead at 21-14 with seven minutes to go. TSU was 0-for-6 during the four-minute stretch.
The Tigers answered with a 9-2 advantage that was highlighted by a pair of buckets from Kennedy Eubanks, including a three, to tie the score at 23.
The sides went back and forth for the last four minutes of the half, but Miller gave the Tigers a one-point lead, 30-29, heading into the break with a layup at the 47 second mark.
Miller did his part with 13 first half points, but another key contributor for TSU was true freshman Ugo Mmonu who poured in seven on 3-of-5 (60 percent) shooting while only playing five minutes.
The Bisons were able to hang around in the first period by shooting 10-of-14 (71.4 percent) from the line. TSU was only 1-for-3.
The game remained tight through the first eight minutes of the second stanza, with neither team going up by more than one score.
Lipscomb eventually went up, 50-40, when the Bisons went on a 14-3 run and the Tigers went eight minutes without a field goal.
Jordan Gaither ended the TSU drought with a jumper at the 7:44 mark to pull the Tigers within five at 53-48.
The Bisons's J.C. Hampton put his team up by nine with a layup with just under five minutes to go, and that ended up being his team's last made field goal of the game.
Lipscomb made 13 free throws down the stretch and TSU could not muster enough offense to counter balance the shots from the charity stripe.
The Tigers would come as close as three points, but ran out of time, as they fell, 75-70.
Tennessee State forced a season-high 21 turnovers, but shot just 34 percent from the field (22-of-65).
With the loss, the Tigers drop to 0-5 for the first time since the 1999-2000 season.
The Tigers will hit the road once again when the team travels to Knoxville for a contest with the University of Tennessee on Friday. Tipoff for that game is slated for 6 p.m.

World Series trophy takes a tumble at Houston men's gala
I was worried it would be a stiff event. Then someone dropped the World Series trophy.
Halfway through dinner during "One Great Night in November," the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's high-powered, mens-only fundraiser, the table collapsed that held the 2017 Commissioner's Trophy, which Astros owner Jim Crane had brought to the MFAH to give the evening a celebratory start.
The trophy was swiftly placed back onto the table, but it did not survive the fall unscathed. Suddenly, men in tuxes were giggling about how "we'll just have to win another one" while a cohort of large men with earpieces assembled around the trophy like bodyguards.
But everyone could still see it: Some of the flags on the trophy were noticeably bent out of shape.
Soon, a turquoise bag was placed over the championship trophy and it was taken away from the large gallery area serving as the night's ballroom, where hundreds of Houston's richest and most powerful men continued on with their conversations over Michael Stewart wine, Bucheron cheese, venison with Pinot Noir reduction and South Texas quail.
In a room full of major players - including Mayor Sylvester Turner, Crane, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair, members of the Sarofim family, Richard Kinder and Jeffery Hildebrand - the damage inflicted on an item signaling the highest achievement for a Major League Baseball team wasn't a scandal, but a mere footnote.
After dinner, one MFAH staff member told me that the Commissioner's Trophy was already sent to restoration in the museum.
"There couldn't be a better place to get a trophy fixed," he said while we were smoking cigars in the designated tent outside the MFAH, where most of the crowd had graduated from the smoother, milder Davidoff Houston Exclusive to the bolder, darker-toned Davidoff Winston Churchill.
Between puffs of smoke, the staff member said that, despite the tremendous revenue and prestige of "One Great Night," the event presented "logistical challenges" for the museum's fundraising office, which consists mainly of women. Even if the director of development, say, wanted to monitor how well the curators were selling artwork that night, she would have to do it unseen, behind curtains or closed doors.
I admit I was at first skeptical, if not merely fascinated, by a high-profile event in 2017 in which no women are allowed. A mens-only gala means no female businesspeople, media, curators, photographers, servers or vendors, and sends a curiously bald message about the city's consolidation of power.
Since its inception three decades ago, the MFAH's prestigious fundraiser has since spawned counter-programming in the form of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston's "Another Great Night in November," a womens-only fundraiser that takes place on the same night.
But after two cigars, a 1942 scotch and a Hennessy V.S.O.P. cognac, I understood the simple appeal of this night: If you are the kind of man to purchase a $25,000 table with the intent of buying art that costs anywhere from a few grand to more than $100,000, then you have something in common with all the other men also at the event.
Men toasted each other constantly, with one attendee saying, without irony: "To one great night, gentlemen!" A lawyer embarrassed his stoic consultant buddy by telling everyone "this is the richest mother****** I know." Everyone laughed in response, even though we knew the lawyer was probably half-serious. The old boys' club, it appears, is a very nice place for the old boys.
"It's a safe space, you know?" one gentlemen told me, albeit jokingly.
And it's also a key fundraiser for the MFAH, which raised around $580,000 Wednesday night through ticket and art sales. The attendees also voted for "Clytie," a $250,000 sculpture of the Ovidian water nymph made by George Frederick Watts in 1868, to be acquired by the museum.
An event regular, who's a partner at a local law firm, told me the gala once overflowed with tables before the oil downturn. But even if some of the businesses have become stingier about attending this "Great Night," it has lost none of its appeal, he said, with the guest list remaining one of the most impressive of the year.
Still, seven years ago, he said, his friends started a tradition of bringing their own wine for the event. That tradition is partly why he's returned to the event since. I asked him why he'd BYOW to a place that already served high-end reds and whites.
"We have the real stuff," he said, emphasizing that the wine his group brings must be rated 95 or higher by Robert Parker.
"Here, try some," he said. I did, and then nodded in agreement, telling him genuinely I had never tasted a wine that was so gentle, yet full of character.
I excused myself from the cigar tent around 10:40 p.m. to move back inside for a sip of water. The choice was between Fiji and Evian. "It's room temperature, is that OK?" the server asked me. I said yes, then walked outside to fetch my used 2010 Honda Accord from valet.

This week I drew two of my favourite girl superheros for fun. My plan is to take the time to draw more (like Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, etc…) I tried a new colouring technique this time. Instead of doing the flat layer of colour thing, I decided to colour them in properly. It took me much more time, but I think they look pretty good this way, especially Wonder Woman, since she's so colourful and vibrant. I tried to make my line really clean this time around, because I wasn't too happy with my messy lines in my previous drawings. (I was once a clean-up artist, so I really should try to keep my skill up.) Now that I look at them, I think they look like animation cels with that white background! Anyways, without further ado, here's:
…and Catwoman!

Reactions: Oprah interview as it happenedMovie bio already in the worksYes, yes, yes, Oprah gets her payday
LANCE ARMSTRONG says he "deserves" to compete again and will fight his lifetime ban from sport, saying that he's received the "death penalty" while other cheats have got off lightly.
Breaking down in the second part of a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey, the self-confessed liar, bully and narcissist accepted he should be punished for doping throughout his seven Tour de France victories, but not as harshly as he has been. The US Anti-Doping Agency stripped Armstrong of his titles and banned the one-time hero from sanctioned sporting events for life in October.
In what was billed as a tell-all confessional, Armstrong did not give information about who supported his doping, who he doped with, and who helped cover it up.
After the first part of the interview, televised on Friday, the boss of cycling's besieged world governing body, Pat McQuaid, trumpeted that Armstrong had proved there was "no collusion or conspiracy" between the International Cycling Union (UCI) and the American cyclist. Mr McQuaid based that statement on Armstrong's emphatic denial that he donated six-figure sums to the UCI to cover up positive doping tests.
Armstrong lamented he is banned from entering sporting events such as the Chicago marathon. "I got a death penalty and they got six months," he said, comparing himself with riders who had given evidence about him to USADA and incurred a lighter sanction in return.
Armstrong went on to say that nothing was as bad as receiving a cancer diagnosis.
Anti-doping and sports officials have been scathing about the lack of detail he has shared.
International Olympic Committee member Dick Pound is suspicious about Armstrong's motives. "If he's going to sell the fact that he's contrite . . . he's going to have to do some more rehearsals," he said.
The original release of this article first appeared on the website of Shanghai Night Net.

Welcome to the Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology.
Our department was founded in 1976. The Ph.D. program in Medical Psychology (research oriented) graduated its first students in 1984 and continues to this day. Alumni have achieved international and national recognition as scientists and educators. In the early 1990s, the U.S. Congress directed the Uniformed Services University (USU) to develop a Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology to train active duty psychologists for the military services. The department was renamed Medical and Clinical Psychology to encompass the expanded mission with two distinct programs. In the late 1990s, the department added the civilian track to the Clinical Psychology program. The goal of this track is to train scientist-practitioners who are prepared to contribute to clinically-relevant science. Graduates of this clinical program have become leaders in military clinical psychology, clinical research, and are contributing to clinical practice and scholarship.
These two programs, the Medical Psychology Program and the Clinical Psychology Program continue today. The motto of USU is "Learning to Care for Those in Harm's Way." Both programs are committed to training graduates who want to devote their professional lives to contributing to the science and/or clinical care of those throughout the Uniformed Services and the Nation who may come in harm's way due to disease or war.Each program has two tracks, a military track and a civilian track. The military tracks include individuals who are civilians when they apply, but want to join one of the military services when they start their graduate program. The civilian tracks are for individuals who are civilians and who will remain civilians after graduation.
The Department is unique in many ways compared to other psychology departments. Military and civilian graduate students train together and are exposed to military and National health concerns. The Department is deeply integrated into the School of Medicine and extensively collaborates with the School of Nursing; therefore, students and faculty have numerous opportunities for collaboration and interdisciplinary training with other medical and nursing personnel. The location of the Department--down the block from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, "across the street" from NIH, and within the National Capital Area--provides unparalleled opportunities for research and training.
To date, the Department has trained over 125 Ph.D. psychologists and helped the University train more than 4,500 physicians. Department faculty have published extensively (including empirical, theoretical, and review papers; textbooks, handbooks, edited volumes, and patient-oriented books), founded and served as editors of many different scientific journals, and are nationally and internationally recognized for contributions to psychology, behavioral and medical sciences, education, and public health.
Questions related to the Clinical Program's accredited status should be directed to the Commission on Accreditation. Correspondence information is provided below.

Bombers tame Lions
The Barnum Bombers hit the road Friday, October 11 and headed south to Ogilvie to take on the Lions.
The game began with the Lions taking the first possession. They began with the air game, but the Bombers did not let their receivers out of reach with the Lions being forced to punt the ball away. The Bombers took over possession on their own side of the field.
The Bombers came out with an air game of their own with Brandon Newman connecting with Zach Carlson, Cody Shelgren and Mitchell Weller to advance the ball up the field. The Bombers were the first to score and continued to score, racking up 22 points in the first quarter, while holding the Lions to nothing.
The second quarter went the way of the Bombers once again. This time, however, the game became a ground game with Newman, Carlson and Zach Peterson pounding the ball up the field. The Lions tried to push the ball down field, but the defense of the Bombers was too much for the Lions.
The Bombers scored an additional 12 points in the second quarter, moving the score to 36-0.
In the third quarter, the Lions regrouped and came out of halftime with a renewed spirit and began to stand up to the Bombers.
The Bomber defense once again went to work and shut the Lions offense down. The Bombers' offense was only able to pound in one additional touchdown, but the defense put so much pressure on the Lions that with a third and long situation, the Lions' center miss-snapped the ball over the head of the quarterback. This is when the Bombers' defense got the opportunity to score.
Bomber Brady Youngberg got his chance to live the play that every defenseman would love — Youngberg picked up the loose ball and ran it into the end zone for the Bombers' final touchdown of the night. The Bombers headed into the fourth quarter with a 48-0 lead.
The fourth quarter belonged to the Lions. With the clock on run time, Barnum coach Brian Robertson began to sub in the Bombers' junior varsity squad.
The Lions had some difficulty with the younger squad, but they began to move the ball and were able to score twice on the Bombers. The Bombers were able to prevent them from getting the extra points.
The game ended with the Bombers victorious over the Lions 48-12.
Next, the Bombers host the Cook County Vikings on October 16 for the final regular season game.

I was so stubborn I went TWO weeks thinking my skin would eventually get better with this two ingredient regime. Everyone has coconut oil as their cure all for eczema, so of course this will work! It's friggin' oil for frack sakes- it should be uber moisturizing!
After two weeks with patches of scary red, blotchy skin appearing all over my body and feeling itchy for all my awake hours (and waking up to having scratched in my sleep), I gave up and purchased Green Beaver's Après Ski with Calendula.
A slight improvement, but months have passed and I'm still suffering from dry patches and itchiness.
Last night, I decided that I was going to try making my own Calendula body lotion. Why not? I had some cocoa butter, unrefined coconut oil and I could just buy Calendula right? Whatever it is really, an herb or something. I'd just go to the Health Food store (Planet Organic) and search the herb section until I saw "Calendula" and whatever form that was I would buy some. (according to wikipedia, Calendula has been documented to decrease inflammation).
It's a yellow flower.
So, weirdly enough there wasn't any sort of "make your own Calendula, cocoa butter, coconut oil lotion" recipe online. Oh, there were plenty of various lotion recipes, but all had random ingredients I didn't own, or involved processes that were too time consuming. So I kinda decided to just wing it, take a few different recipes and see what happened.
What happened was that I made an oily body lotion that I used today. For the first time in MONTHS I am red blotchy, scratching and itchiness FREE!! No seriously, and I am almost a little shocked here, it actually worked. And it smells absolutely divine and wasn't that difficult.
Hardware: a double boiler (or makeshift one. I had to google what that was... cuz Andrew wasn't around for me to confirm that it's a large pot, with a metal bowl that sits on top but doesn't touch the water in the pot. In case there are other noobs reading this and not just me lol).
a small pot
a metal tablespoon
a mason jar (or glass container)
a mesh strainer
Optional: probe thermometer (it was handy)
1 tablespoon of dried Calendula petals (or 2 if you want more Calendula power)
3 tablespoons of unrefined coconut oil
3 tablespoons of cocoa butter
1 ounce of jojoba oil
1 ounce of olive oil
- In a small pot mix the jojoba and olive oil (honestly I just squirted what I thought was about an ounce each)
- Add the Calendula petals (I mushed them in a mortal to release some of the oils first).
- Heat the oil at low-medium, or so it's 170F (this is where the probe thermometer came in handy and I realized it was at 240F!!)
- Let sit for 20min at about that temperature.
- In the metal bowl you'll use for the double boiler, add the coconut oil and cocoa butter. Bring water in the pot to a simmer (um, yup had to google simmer vs boil) and then place bowl with oils on top and melt.
- Once the Calendula is infused for 20min, strain the oil into the double boiler. Mix and pour the entire mixture into the mason jar. Allow to sit until at room temperature until hardens.
I really wanted to try it today, so I put it in the fridge overnight. The problem with that is it was rock solid in the morning and I had to heat it up again.
It smells absolutely delicious (even though the Calendula is STINKY while infusing).
That said- this is totally doable with basic ingredients and about an hour of your time. The stuff supposedly should last up to 4 months, or even longer if you put it in the fridge.

Hello hello! I have another great book for you guys. As you may know, Skinny Bitch was one of the first books I read when I decided to inform myself about veganism. Skinny Bitch is a wee book full of hard, undeniable, and sometimes pretty gruesome facts. It convinced me that if you want to live a life honest to your values, you just can't hide from the truth: animal-derived products simply aren't good for you or the planet, let alone the animals.
If you like a witty, tongue-in-cheek guide in the kitchen, like baking with a best friend, Kim's new book, Skinny Bitch Bakery, was made for you. Kim stays true to her style with plenty of jokes and banter and no-nonsense attitude.
The book contains heaps of helpful information for budding vegan bakers. In fact, even I can learn loads from it – I've been vegan for over two years, and though I do cook and bake a lot for the average person, I still struggle a lot with substitutions. Especially when it comes to eggs, proper rising in cakes and muffins, and creating pastry (still a fearful activity in my kitchen, alas. BUT NO MORE.)
Kim has a detailed chapter on baking swaps with measurements for each ingredient: milk, creams, cheese, butter, etc. plus pantry staples. Obviously she's done her research, which is a huge relief for those readers (and you know you're out there) who simply don't have the time to experiment. One thing I hear a lot is that people get discouraged at the very idea of having to invest so much time, money and energy, and failed cakes that only end up in the bin, in their attempts to create old-time favourites.
The 'Shit Every Baker Should Know' is the second-best part: it answers every question you may ever have had from 'Why don't my muffins rise properly?' to 'How do I ensure flaky pastry?' Basically, this book is your go-to guide for everything related to vegan baking. And I mean everything.
The best part? you ask. The recipes, duh. German Chocolate Cake, Heavenly Blueberry Pie, Glazed Cinnamon Rolls, Curried Butternut Calzones (I know, right?!), Matcha Green Tea Almond Cookies… It's just a food
pornfest extravaganza all the way through.
(Obviously, eating cake does not make you skinny. Don't let the title deceive you. Books are meant to sell, and the marketing teams will give the books titles that sell. Just thought I'd put that out there.)
I'm sorry, I lied. The REAL best part is that I am giving away a copy of this book to one lucky reader. All you need to do is tell me in the comments below which recipe you which dessert recipe you haven't been able to make since going vegan. Something you used to love but now can't eat anymore, something you've desperately tried to veganise but failed every time, something you wish you could order in restaurants/cafés but can't because it's never vegan. You have to be a resident of the UK. Oh and please also tell me your full name and one way that I can reach you (such as your Twitter name, Pinterest, Facebook, email, Tumblr, …).
Based on how much I feel your pain, I will pick the winner and announce it on Facebook, Twitter and this little ol' blog. The contest ends on November 15 at midnight, UK-time.
Have I whetted your appetite yet? No? I'm sorry, we'll need to remedy that. Here's a free recipe from Kim's new book for you:
I personally think these would taste amazing with a chocolate frosting, don't you?
Kim's new book is out this 24 October in the UK, published by Harper One.

Watch The Throne [Clean Version] (CD)
Jay-Z , Kanye West
Amoeba Review
Watch the Throne, which gathers two of hip-hop's best, musically isn't the grand statement of West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Jay-Z's The Black Album, but it's more fun than either of those albums. Kanye pulls out a lot of his tricks — the vocoder vocals on "New Day," the revered-musician-turned-sample in "Otis" (featuring Otis Redding) — but it doesn't feel like a rehash. There's enough excitement here to warrant any retreads — frankly, both rappers, almost known as much for their braggadocio as for their game-changing albums, sound liberated to be sharing the spotlight. There are plenty of radio jams here, like the old-school, A Tribe Called Quest-ish "That's My Bitch" and the Beyonce guest-starring "Lift Off," and there are some real stunners here, too, in line with the forward-pushing musicality of both Jay-Z's and Kanye West's finest works. Frank Ocean lends vocals to a couple of gems, notably the polyrhythmic "Made in America," which honors black heroes, while "Murder to Excellence" rides a Radiohead-style riff, sampled children's voices, bongos and brilliant trade-off verses between the rappers to "a celebration of black excellence," as Jay-Z so memorably puts it.

Saunders led four Crimson in double figures with 15 points to push Harvard past Holy Cross, 72-65, Saturday afternoon (photo Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Wesley Saunders paced the Crimson with 15 points, and Siyani Chambers added 14 of his own, as the Harvard men's basketball team won its second straight game, topping Holy Cross by a score of 72-65 at Lavietes Pavilion Saturday afternoon.
Christian Webster notched 13 points and grabbed a team-best six boards, while Laurent Rivard scored 10, helping the Crimson improve to 6-4 overall on the year. Dave Dudzinski led Holy Cross with 22 points, as the Crusaders see their record fall to 7-5.
The Crimson shot 25-of-50 (50%) for the game, including 7-for-19 (36.8%) from beyond the arc, and had 14 assists as a team.
After Holy Cross took a 4-0 lead, the Crimson got on the scoreboard at 16:29 when Saunders connected on the front end of two foul shots, 4-1. Harvard, which began the game 0-of-9 from the field, finally sank a bucket when Saunders hit a jumper in the lane at 13:55, making it a 6-3 game. On the Crimson's next trip down the floor, Webster tied the game with a triple from the corner, 6-6.
Moments later, Webster drained another 3-pointer, as Harvard grabbed an 11-10 advantage with just over 11 minutes to go in the opening half. The Crimson extended its lead with a hook shot off the right hand Kenyatta Smith, 13-10, but the Crusaders answered with a 3-pointer on the other end to tie the game, 13-13. With 9:34 left, Jonah Travis made a reverse layup, as Harvard led by three, 18-15, as the Crimson made seven straight field-goal attempts.
Smith kept the Harvard basket streak going with an and-one with 8:54 to play, as the Crimson went up by five, 21-16. Steve Moundou-Missi made Harvard's ninth straight shot with a nice move for a reverse layup, making it a 23-18 contest. With 6:05 to play, Chambers sent a pass up the court on the break to Travis, who finished with two points, 25-18.
With just under four minutes left, Chambers connected on a highlight reel layup on the break, as the Crimson extended its lead to 29-23. After Harvard went up by eight, 31-23, with a bucket by Travis, Chambers drew contact attempting a 3-pointer with 2:17 remaining. Chambers made two of the ensuing foul shots, as Harvard maintained an eight-point edge, 33-25. In the last minute of the half, Saunders drained a 3-pointer, as Harvard took a 36-27 advantage into the break. Saunders paced the Crimson with eight points in the first 20 minutes.
In the second, Webster started it off for Harvard with a runner in the lane, 38-29, and then Chambers hit a jumper, giving the Crimson its largest lead to that point, 40-29. At the 17:05 mark, Chambers sent a pass to Rivard, who stepped up and nailed a 3-pointer from the wing, as the Crimson went up by 14, 45-31. Rivard connected on his second 3-pointer, and then assisted on a bucket by Saunders, as Harvard continued to remain in control, 50-36.
After the Crusaders cut Harvard's lead to 52-45, Holy Cross added another bucket on its 11-2 run to make it 52-47. With 11:48 left, the Crusaders got within three, and then cut the deficit to one, 52-51, following the media timeout. Holy Cross went up by one, 53-52, with 10 minutes to go, but Travis answered on the other end with the hoop and the harm. Travis hit the foul shot, making it a 55-53 contest in favor of the Crimson.
Webster drew contact attempting a jumper in the paint with 8:57 left and hit both free throws, as the Crimson went back up, 57-56. Chambers hit a runner on the break to push Harvard's lead to three, 59-56, but the Crusaders once again cut it to a one-point contest. Holy Cross grabbed a 60-59 lead with less than six minutes to go, but the Crimson took it right back, as Saunders made two foul shots, 61-60. With 4:22 left, Webster nailed another 3-pointer, giving Harvard a four-point cushion, 64-60.
Chambers connected on an and-one with 2:50 left, giving Harvard a 67-62 advantage after he sank the free throw. Down the stretch, the Crusaders hit three foul shots, getting back within two, 67-65, with 1:02 to play. Saunders hit the first of two foul shots with 35.3 ticks left, making it 68-65. After grabbing a defensive board with 13.3 seconds left, Rivard stepped up and made two foul shots, putting the game out of reach, 70-65.
After the holidays, the Crimson will travel west and will face California Saturday Dec. 29 at 8 p.m. EST on the Pac-12 Networks. Harvard will then visit St. Mary's Monday, Dec. 31 in a game shown on ESPN2 at 8 p.m. EST.

MLB rumors: Orioles, Phillies, Pirates lead for A.J. Burnett
The Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates look like the front-runners to land free free-agent RHP A.J. Burnett, the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo reports.
"It also wouldn't shock this reporter if the Yankees were trying to get Burnett back," Cafardo writes.
Burnett, 37, was mulling retirement, but recent reports indicate he plans to pitch in 2014
The veteran pitched for the Pirates the past two seasons, going 10-11 with a 3.30 ERA and 1.215 WHIP in 2013. His strikeouts-per-nine led the NL, and his 2.80 FIP was fifth in the league.
The Orioles met with Burnett's representatives in December. Burnett lives in Baltimore.
The team, as usual, is in need of pitching help. The O's finished 10th in the AL with a 4.20 ERA. The Orioles allowed 709 runs, more than any other team in the league that finished above .500.

A video posted on YouTube that shows a Tesla Model S on fire is being blamed for pushing down the company's stock price Wednesday.
The crash happened near Seattle on Tuesday morning. The person shooting the video said he could feel the heat from the fire from half a block away. The man recognized it as a Telsa as he drove directly in front of the car.
The video shows the front of a Tesla Model S in flames. Tesla confirmed to CNBC that the vehicle was a Model S. Tesla said the car hit "a large metal object in the road" on Tuesday, causing significant damage. Tesla says the fire was caused by the "substantial damage sustained during the collision."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The Tesla's driver reportedly told authorities he began to smell something burning and then the vehicle caught fire. Firefighters needed several attempts to extinguish the flames because the blaze kept reigniting, Webb said. A trooper who responded to the scene was unable to locate any objects on the roadway, but Department of Transportation workers did observe some debris near the scene. Chris Webb of the Washington State PatrolWebb said there was too much damage from the fire to see what damage the debris may have caused.
Tesla also stressed the fact that the driver escaped unharmed.
A Tesla Model S has a $70,000 price tag.
Tesla shares have risen more than 400 percent since the start of the year, but the stock fell more than 6 percent Wednesday, to $180.95. The fall picked up steam at the end of the trading day and at one point was down 9.1 percent.
It was the stock's biggest one-day decline since July 16.
Investors seemed to be thinking the fire could be an indication of a flaw in the company's battery packs. The company's battery system and the Model S itself have received rave reviews, including a top crash-test score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a tie for the highest auto test score ever recorded by Consumer Reports magazine.
Tesla statement to CNBC:
"Yesterday, a Model S collided with a large metallic object in the middle of the road, causing significant damage to the vehicle. The car's alert system signaled a problem and instructed the driver to pull over safely, which he did. No one was injured, and the sole occupant had sufficient time to exit the vehicle safely and call the authorities. Subsequently, a fire caused by the substantial damage sustained during the collision was contained to the front of the vehicle thanks to the design and construction of the vehicle and battery pack. All indications are that the fire never entered the interior cabin of the car. It was extinguished on-site by the fire department."
Here's the video. Warning: it contains graphic language.
Tesla has been on fire for months now. Today, it wasn't such a good thing. http://t.co/gr3hjXROdT $TSLA — scott budman (@scottbudman) October 2, 2013

Brief Question about how to best match lists with Criteria from Identifiers (thus for me: translate SQL to Mathematica ;) ).
If I have two sets:
set1 = {{ExperimentCode1,
No of Experiments1}, {ExperimentCode2, No of Experiments2} ...}
set2 = {{ExperimentCode1,
TypeofExp1}, {ExperimentCode2, No of TypeofExp1} ...}
Now set 1 has 10 Entries, set2 only contains data for 3.
'Sql: Select * from set1 Inner Join set 2 on set1.Experimentcode=set2.Experimentcode'
This only matches cases in SQL where the variables exist in both lists (Thus result = 3 Elements)
'Sql: Select * from set1 Left Join set 2 on set1.Experimentcode=set2.Experimentcode'
This returns all Elements from List 1 and the matched from List 2 (result=10 elements, 3 Elements have now the additional value type, the other 7 Null values for type).
I think this is even more tricky when there is more than one Identifier (Thus two fields together represent a unique identfying number).
