NORTHFIELD, Vt.—The Saint Lawrence University football team bested the Cadets of Norwich University at the grand re-opening of Sabine Field on Saturday afternoon in non-conference football action.
With the loss, the Cadets fall to 0-2 on the season, while the win boosts the Saints to 2-0.
The game marked a new era for the Cadets, who now call an artificial-turf surface home after playing over 90 seasons of football on natural grass. The field underwent a 10-month, $6 million renovation to upgrade the facility to include stadium lighting, a new scoreboard, and a renovated grandstand.
Prior to kickoff, Norwich University President Richard W. Schneider gave a short speech from the 50-yard line thanking both the donors and contractors who made the renovation possible.
Saint Lawrence totaled 213 yards of offense en route to the win, while holding Norwich to just 114 yards of total offense.
Saints quarterbacks Mike Lefflbine and Zane Fish each threw for a touchdown in the win. Fish struck first with a 26-yard pass to Colby Johnson with 10:37 to play in the second quarter. Collin Shapiro nailed the point-after attempt to give the Saints the 7-0 lead.
Saint Lawrence used seven plays to travel 62 yards in three minutes to set up the first score. The stretch was highlighted by back-to-back first downs on a six yard run by Maurince Urby and an 11-yard pass from Fish to Mike Tateosian. On second-and-10, Matt Phelan ran for 11 yards to set put the Saints in range for the touchdown pass.
Five drives later, the Cadets wrapped up the second quarter with their lone score of the day, a 35-yard field goal by freshman Wesley Medeiros (Gilford, N.H.).
Deep into the third quarter, Saint Lawrence's Lefflbine completed a 15-yard pass to Tateosian for the Saint's second touchdown of the day. The scoring series encompassed six plays for a total of 38 yards. Lefflbine completed four passes on the series incliding a 16-yard pass to Evan Shifley to start the series. Shapiro's point-after kick was good to set the 7-3 score.
Norwich had a strong opportunity to score early in the fourth quarter when wide receiver senior Mike Cavanaugh (Raymond, N.H.) deked his defender and was wide open 20 yards from the end zone. The pass from junior quarterback Jon Queen (Peterborough, N.H.) was late, and Cavanaugh was unable to make the catch.
With 31 seconds left in the game senior Stephen Gilmore (Norton, Mass.) recorded a fumble on the 10-yard line to set Norwich up for a late scoring opportunity, but Queen's pass to junior Dan Jamieson (Morris Plains, N.J.) was picked for a Saints' touchback.
The Norwich defense saw a team-high seven tackles from Luis Delgado (Accord, N.Y.). The senior captain posted two tackles-for-loss and also netted an interception in the second quarter. Junior Dane Palotto (Westbrook, Conn.) also recorded an interception on a botched field goal attempt by the Saints at the 6:29 mark of the first quarter. Gilmore recorded five solo tackles and three assisted tackles on the afternoon in addition to his fumble recovery, while junior Andy Mangin (Concord, Mass.) had a hand in five tackles on the day including the Cadets' lone sack.
The Saint Lawrence defense was paced by Sean Gretz's seven solo tackels. He recorded one eight-yard sack and totaled two tackles for loss of 20 yards. Obi Nwaigwe led the team in sacks with two for eight yards and recovered one fumble. Alec Deitch aided the defense with six solo tackles and an assisted tackle.
Norwich wraps up non-conference play next weekend when the team travels to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) for a 1:00 p.m. contest. Following the Cadets' bye week, the team will open Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) action at home on Saturday, Oct. 4 in a 2:00 p.m. matchup with Becker.

McLaren Cancer Institute offering free colorectal cancer screening kits during March
During March, Michiganders are just a phone call or a click away from getting a free at-home screening test for the nation's third-most diagnosed cancer from McLaren Cancer Institute during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Last year, more than 5,400 people took advantage of McLaren's free colorectal cancer screening program. The kits are suggested for people with a family history of colorectal cancer, as well as anyone age 50 and older. Age is the greatest risk factor for colorectal cancer, with more than 90 percent of cases diagnosed in people within this 50-plus age group.
"The result of early detection is clear," said Dr. Justin Klamerus, interim president and medical director of McLaren Cancer Institute. "The earlier colorectal cancer is caught, the greater the chance for cure. Everyone over 50 should consider this simple test yearly."
The painless, self-administered test requires a minimal stool sample, takes only a few minutes and is performed in the privacy of the home. No fasting is required, and any medicine can be taken normally as prescribed. To request a kit, call (855) 552-KNOW (5669), Monday-Friday, during normal business hours, or request a kit anytime online at mclaren.org/cancer.
The American Cancer Society projects that this year more than 50,000 Americans will die of colorectal cancer, which makes it the third leading cause of cancer-related death. This represents a decrease over the past two decades, due in part to increased screening and improved treatment.
Unfortunately, screening rates for colorectal cancer still fall well below those for other types of cancer, often because people feel embarrassment, fear or shame about getting tested or even discussing testing options with their doctor.
Beginning at age 50, both men and women at average risk for developing colorectal cancer should be regularly screened. People at higher risk, including those with a family history of the disease, may need to start screening before age 50.
There are additional risk factors besides age and family history of colorectal cancer, including those that are lifestyle-related, such as obesity, smoking, and a diet high in processed and red meat.

There is a question of who will be the 5th starter (and the possibility that Clay Buchholz begin the year in Pawtucket) and perhaps the final bullpen spot. ... And who starts in center field.
Obviously, the team has said very little about either Coco Crisp or Jacby Ellsbury, but Terry Francona has noted that "coming into camp, we're not going to forget as an organization that he's [Crisp] the incumbent."
Coco's desires are clear:
I think everybody wants to play everyday and if you don't, I think there's something wrong with you. I don't want to sit on the bench. I could cheerlead with the best of them, but that's not where I want to be. ...Ellsbury, a rookie, is saying the right things:
A lot of people say, well, I don't deserve it. Well, that's understandable too. I didn't have a good offensive year like I did in the past. I think I proved ... that my defense is way better than what people thought. People think that my offense is terrible. Now it's time to show them that my offense really isn't. ...
I would honestly rather be somewhere else and play than be on the bench. I'll take whatever comes and deal with it. It's no knock against Boston. The fans have treated me well. It's ultimately for myself.
I went into the offseason and worked hard to be the center fielder, but it's their decision and I'll respect it either way. ... I have the most respect for him and he's definitely a great teammate. I know both of us want it ...The team's first full workout will be on Friday.
JD Drew has been bowling in the off-season to keep his lower back strong.
Sean McAdam quotes Tom Werner: "I do remember in our first press conference we said we wanted to win multiple championships and people laughed at us. ..."

An unusual event happened about a few years ago when our family decided to go on vacation. It was obvious that we were going to leave the house. Our dog was observing all the packing, suitcase shuffling, and the general hurry up last minute details.
Just before we were ready to leave we noticed that our dog, Sidney – a loveable cockapoo (cocker spaniel/poodle mix) – was acting very strange and was almost lethargic and lifeless. This was definitely an abrupt change in his personality and we were really concerned for him. My wife insisted that we take him to the vet and find out if he was suffering from Lyme's disease or a similar fate.
When we arrived at the vet's office the first question he asked was, "Are you guys going on vacation?"
How did he know???
You see, Sidney was so sad that we were leaving that he chose to display his anxiety in this manner.
Don't think for one minute that your dog doesn't have a connection with everything that goes on in your life and with the members of your family. Anxiety and stress play such an important part in not only our own lives but also in our pet's lives. It is no wonder that high anxiety and stressful situations may sometimes result in physical medical issues.
Over the years I have had many different breeds of dogs, many of which brought with them stressful and anxious situations of their own.
We had a dog that was hit by a car and yet lived to a ripe old age. We have experienced the destructive puppy stage, the lost puppy stage, the "eat the furniture and dad's favorite shoe" stage, and of course the difficult potty training resistance stage. We have had the emotional battle with having to put down our animals when they were not able to function properly anymore. We have even experienced the trauma of one of our dogs giving a nasty dog bite to our neighbor.
My point here is that by adopting a dog you will undoubtedly experience stress and anxiety from time to time. Just remember that our pets are not immune to trauma and anxiety either and to consider how they will react when faced with these types of stresses.
On a side note, I would gladly endure these experiences because of the pleasure that each and every one of our companion dogs has brought to our lives. Each dog has become a member of the family and deserves to be treated as such.
That is why I always stress the importance of proper nutrition for our canines by feeding a biologically appropriate raw diet (BARF diet). Feeding your dog what he is designed to eat will reduce unnecessary stress on his digestive and immune system and result in a happier and healthier dog!

Earth : Europe : Iberia : Andorra
Andorra [7] is a small (pop. 73,100, size 464 km2), mountainous country in the Pyrenees mountains in Europe, and is on the Iberian Peninsula, on the border between France and Spain, in Western Europe.
Other destinations
Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley
For 715 years, from 1278 to 1994, Andorrans lived under a unique co-principality ruled by the French chief of state and the Spanish bishop of Urgel. In 1993, this feudal system was modified with the titular heads of state retained, but the government transformed into a parliamentary democracy. Long isolated and impoverished, mountainous Andorra achieved considerable prosperity since World War II through its tourist industry. Many migrant workers (legal and illegal) are attracted to the thriving economy with its lack of income taxes.
Tourism, the mainstay of Andorra's tiny, well-to-do economy, accounts for roughly 80% of GDP. An estimated 9 million tourists visit annually, attracted by Andorra's duty-free status and by its summer and winter resorts. Andorra's comparative advantage has recently eroded as the economies of neighboring France and Spain have been opened up, providing broader availability of goods and lower tariffs. The banking sector, with its "tax haven" status, also contributes substantially to the economy. Agricultural production is limited -- only 2% of the land is arable -- and most food has to be imported. The principal livestock activity is sheep raising. Manufacturing output consists mainly of cigarettes, cigars, and furniture. Andorra is a member of the EU Customs Union and is treated as an EU member for trade in manufactured goods (no tariffs) and as a non-EU member for agricultural products.
Electricity is supplied at 220 to 230V 50Hz. Outlets are the European standard CEE-7/7 "Schukostecker" or "Schuko" or the compatible, CEE-7/16 "Europlug" types.
Get in
Due mainly to the mountainous nature of Andorra, there is only one road entering Andorra from France, and only one widely-used road entering Andorra from Spain. Almost all entry into the country happens at one of these two points.
Andorra is not a member of the EU, EEA or Schengen Area. However, there are no customs controls owing to the fact that Andorra is in a customs union with the EU.
Visitors from outside the EU should note that as Andorra is not a Schengen member, exiting France or Spain into Andorra will (theoretically) terminate a single-entry visa. In practice, though, immigration does not enforce this.
By plane
There are no airports in Andorra, the nearest airports are:
Perpignan (France) 128 km to the east, no coach connections but you can take a Yellow train to La tour de Carol and further to l'Hospitalet.
Lleida (Spain) 157 km to the south, Lleida-Alguaire Flights from the UK only during the ski season, chartered by Thomas Cook Airport is 2.5 hours away from Andorra by bus. This airport was chosen in 2011 by the UK-Based tour operator "Neilson" to cater for tourists visiting the ski resorts. Flights arrive/depart on Sundays. For independent travellers, getting to Andorra from Lleida Airport can be difficult, as Montmantell bus company will leave you in Lleida town, a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport.
Barcelona (Spain) 202 km to the south. Travellers will appreciate the frequent connections to Andorra from Barcelona town and airport.
(From airports to Andorra by car: 3 hours)
By helicopter
From Andorra la Vella, La Massana, or Arinsal airports, the journey, for a maximum of 4 passengers, takes around 30 minutes and costs €3000.
Andorra heliport [10].
By train
There are no train lines or stations in Andorra, and none close to the Spanish border. The nearest rail stations are:
From L'Hopitalet to Pas de la Casa, the journey with the SNCF bus costs €2.90 full fare, and all the regular SNCF discounts apply. For the scenic journey between Pas de la Casa and Andorra-la-Vella, the price is €5.60.
Alternatively, Hispano-Andorrana bus company runs services twice a day [14] from the L'Hospitalet train station directly to Andorra-la-Vella, also calling at some other stops, for ±8€.
As of October 2010, reaching Andorra by train is only cost-effective for holders of SNCF discount cards such as Carte 12-25 or those coming with the sleeper train from Paris; other travelers would be better off taking a direct bus service from nearby cities like Toulouse. In any case, everybody under 26 years-old traveling off-peak hours with SNCF is entitled to the "Découvert 12-25" discount.
Caution: one should bear in mind that the L'Hospitalet train station is located in a deserted area, is often unmanned, and its rooms have restricted open hours, so it's important to match connections well. If you need assistance, you may want to call the Toulouse train station at +33 8 91 67 76 77.
By car
Roads in Andorra are generally of a good quality. Entering from the Spanish side is a relatively straightforward drive; however entering from France is a more stressful affair involving many hairpin bends. Border control officers at both sides are generally fine. Entering Andorra, you generally do not need to even stop, but you must slow down and be prepared to stop if requested. When leaving Andorra, you must stop and be prepared for delays during busy times . Be sure your car is in good condition - Andorra has many steep roads at high altitude.
Also beware of black ice and snow drifts as the temperature in Andorra can be much colder than at sea level.
The approach from the French side passes through the 2.9 km-long Tunel d'Envalira which requires a fee payable by by cash or cred/debit card. The amounts are: winter (remainder of year)
Winter is from 1 Dec-31 Mar.
Drivers considered to be at fault in fatal accidents are always prosecuted and usually imprisoned.
Taxi Taxi Josep provides a Mercedes Benz car and speaks many languages Tel: 376 323111; Taxi Domènec Segura provides a van but does not speak English or French tel: 34 636 490 685. Taxi Josep can arrange the ride with Taxi Domènec Segura if you absolutely need a van. Payment must be in cash.
Taxi Barras 376 323743 provides local service.
By bus
There are many coach services operating into Andorra. From France there is a coach service, Novatel [15] from Toulouse at the bus station (Matabiau) as well as from the Toulouse–Blagnac airport. Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure as the driver will leave once everyone who was waiting has boarded. The Novatel bus is easily identified by its name in large letters on the side. The bus stop at the Toulouse airport is close to where the fire truck is parked. A second coach service operates via L'Hospitalet and La Tour de Carol. From Spain, coaches to Andorra can be caught from a variety of locations, such as Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Lleida and Valencia.
There are at least 2 bus companies operating daily service from Barcelona airport. Eurolines goes from outside the door of Terminal B, but you must be early and quick because the driver has a habit of arriving early and driving off if no-one is there. Also you don't pay for the ticket at the airport, but travel to the Barcelona Sants and have to get off to buy a ticket. Service is slow. One should also remember that you will need to show your passport here. Trip time is about 3.5 to 4 hours.
Novatel also operates a service from the Barcelona airport, outside terminal 1 and 15 minutes later outside Terminal 2. €31 one-way or €52 for a round-trip (as of May 2012), tickets available on the official website [16] or on the bus.
Autocars Nadal [17] also travels between Andorra and Barcelona and its airport.
The bus company Alsina Graells has eight trips a day from Barcelona. The trip takes 3.5-4 hours and costs €23 one-way and €40 round trip.
Alsa [18] has daily trips between Barcelona and Andorra.
Get around
If you have a few days in Andorra, then you can easily visit most of the main villages by the local bus service called the Cooperativa Interurbana Andorrana, S.A. [19]
There are 8 main bus lines or 'linies', and all of these pass through Andorra La Vella. The fare is anything from 1€20 to two or three euros depending on how far you are going. Drivers will provide change. For the towns nearest to Andorra La Vella, the service is very regular, and as frequent as every 10 minutes during the day. If you are travelling to outlying rural places like Canolic, there are only 2 or 3 buses per day.
The lines are:
Andorra's official language is Catalan, but almost everyone speaks Spanish. French and Portuguese are widely spoken too. English is also spoken by those involved in the tourism industry.
Andorra has the euro (€) as its sole currency along with 24 other countries that use this common European money. These 24 countries are: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain (official euro members which are all European Union member states) as well as Andorra, Kosovo, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino and the Vatican which use it without having a say in eurozone affairs and without being European Union members. Together, these countries have a population of more than 330 million.
One euro is divided into 100 cents. While each official euro member (as well as Monaco, San Marino and Vatican) issues its own coins with a unique obverse, the reverse, as well as all bank notes, look the same throughout the eurozone. Every coin is legal tender in any of the eurozone countries.
Andorra's huge ski resorts with their family-friendly slopes are probably the main reason for Andorra's popularity among tourists, but the tiny country does have other things to offer. In terms of landmarks and culture, the many churches and shrines are a main sight. The famous statue of Our Lady of Meritxell was destroyed in a 1972 fire, but a nice replica is still on display. In the country's capital, Andorra la Vella, you'll find the Romanesque Església de Sant Esteve, located in the old part of town and therefore a perfect stop during a city walk. Just 2 kilometres out of town, the church of Santa Coloma d'Andorra is even older, as it dates back to the 9th century.
Ski Resorts
Most of these resorts were once small mountain villages which have grown in recent years due to skiing. In recent years the resorts have all joined together so that your ski pass covers neighbouring areas. As a result there are now two large alpine skiing areas known as Vallnord and Grandvalira.
Vallnord covers Arcalis and the Arinsal-Pal ski area. Arcalis is quite distant away from Arinsal-Pal but the latter have been joined up in recent years by a cable car connecting the two ski areas. The Arisnal-Pal ski area is directly accessible from La Massana right from the middle of the town. 93 km (58 mi) of pistes.
Grandvalira covers Soldeu and Pas de la Casa. The Soldeu ski area is also accessible from Encamp and Canillo. This quite cleverly has opened up these areas to cope with the influence of visitors without putting all the strain on Soldeu. It has 193 km of ski slopes between 1710-2640 m. The surface of grandvalira is about 1.926 H, and it's dividid in 6 different areas:
La Rabassa is a cross-country (Nordic) skiing area in southern Andorra above the town of Sant Julia de Loria.
Hiking and Trekking
If you would like more information on the mountain huts in Andorra, go to Mountain huts in Andorra [20]. If you are afraid of sleeping in a tent because of the wild animals and night sounds (demons), a good place to stay while hiking and trekking in Andorra is staying at the Himàlaia Hotel in Soldeu [21], which has its own team of hiking guides who go every day with their guests to walk and discover a lot of interesting hiking routes around the country. Be sure to bring something other than sandals for your feet and a purse for your cellphone.
Andorra is a great place for hiking. The point of departure is the town of Arinsal at the foot of the Coma Pedrosa (2,942 m/9,652 ft) and the Pic de Médécourbe (2,914 m/9,560 ft).
To work in Andorra you are supposed to have a work permit issued by the government. If you are on business for only a few days then this would not apply.
Stay safe
There is not much threat from other people in Andorra, but keep safe on mountains. Don't go too high without knowing what you are doing. See Altitude sickness for more.
Drivers are warned to avoid crossing back into France if the Spanish side of the Pyrenees has enjoyed beautiful warm sunshine all day and the road temperatures drop considerably towards the evening - there is danger of black ice from ice melt. The weather in the French Pyrenees is frequently vastly different than that of Andorra and the Spanish Pyrenees. Stay overnight if necessary, as cold morning temperatures are more apparent and less treacherous than sudden evening icing.
Stay healthy
In Andorra La Vella there is the famous Caldea [23] to visit which is a spa / swimming pool complex. This is very popular. It is located up the top end of Andorra-la-Vella and you cannot miss it because it is the large glass spire structure which is quite an attraction on the skyline itself.
The main hospital in Andorra is the Meritxell (pronounced merichai) Hospital (+376 871 000).
Internet Andorra is a well-connected country, and has accepted the Internet with open arms. Almost as many people subscribe to the Internet as own landline phones.
Postal Service Andorra relies on the Spanish and French postal systems. The main office for both are located in Andorra La Vella.
The French post office (CORREUS FRANCESOS) located at Carrer de Bonaventura Armengol AD500 Andorra la Vella, Andorra [24] is usually open from 8:30AM - 2:30PM Monday - Friday and Saturdays from 9:00AM - 11:59AM Tel: +376 820 408
The Spanish post office (CORREUS ESPANYOLS) is open from 8:30AM - 2:30PM Monday - Friday and Saturdays from 9:00AM - 1:00PM Tel: +376 820 257.
Visitors should note that since Andorra is not part of EU/EEA, using mobile phones may be a lot more expensive than in France or Spain.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away there was story that inspired and brought a sense of wonder to a generation of people. A modern myth was created and was passed down to new generations of fans who were also inspired by and moved by its story of heroism, self-sacrifice, and friendship. Was it perfect? No, but even with it's flaws it still captured the hearts of millions. What happened? I sat in the theater with my children hoping that they would be inspired by the same magic that inspired me when I first saw Star Wars many years ago. What we got was a bleak, lifeless and hollow tale. Did it look good? Sure. It was visually appealing but the beautiful imagery masked a hollow plot filled with empty and uninspiring characters who did pointless things for illogical reasons. It was a meandering tale that seemed to exist in a space of it's own, never building on what came before. "Let the past die" was the battle-cry of this shallow movie masquerading as a Star Wars tale and that is what it accomplished. But what the writer and director of this movie failed to realize is that great things are built on the shoulders of giants. Epic stories build on what comes before. In subverting all of the themes, plots and characters that preceded The Last Jedi, the creators pulled the rug out from Star Wars itself. That, more than anything else, describes how I felt at the closing credits. The deconstruction of Star Wars in The Last Jedi was so complete that there is nowhere to go now. To quote a far greater writer who looked on the bleakness and nihilism of the modern age and despaired: "This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper."
If this is what stimulates the new generation - god help us. The only thing that could save this franchise now is for Sheev to come back and lay waste to the entire galaxy with force lightening, put this fanatical sick disney mouse to rest, and let the midichlorians of the galaxy create life anew (apparently this is now possible as Yoda demonstrates in this abomination of film by setting fire to things). That or perhaps let Marcia Lucas edit another Star Wars film, but even then she could probably not do much with the content being created under Kathleen Kennedy.
Shameful, absolutely shameful. I have never felt compelled to leave a movie review, much less on a Star Wars movie. I pains me to do this but Rian Johnson and Disney must be held accountable for this sick, insulting, offensive abomination. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
The Last Jedi singlehandedly ruined the original Star Wars trilogy with its disservice toward the characters, story/lore, etc. of the original trilogy. The Last Jedi is trash.
Very disappointing. Bad writing, poor character development and misrepresentation of characters. Awful continuity with its predecessor. Not a lot to look forward to in episode IX.
To say this movie was a disappointment is a great understatement. My disappointment is not based on any "betrayal" of what Star Wars is or is "supposed to be"; any real story teller and artist ought to be able to explore their imagination and give a new interpretation or spin on things. My disappointment is in the fact that this film is quite simply a poorly made film. It lacks almost any sense of narrative integrity- cause and effect relationships are overlooked in favor of action sequences, that while visually beautiful, have absolutely no sense of gravitas. Basic concepts such as the connection of motivation and action have no place in this film. In the end it feels like only so much fluff and dazzle. I can accept one, two or even three jumps in logic or plot holes, but this film takes it to a new level. The narrative collapses repeatedly. To find myself not caring at all about what happens to characters that I have loved since childhood only underlines the truly monumental lack of care and haphazard way this film was made. I cannot imagine a great film maker such as Spielberg or even Peter Jackson making something as poorly constructed as The Last Jedi. I am sad to say I won't be watching another film directed by Johnson. I am baffled by the critics who have praised his work- and can only think that they only hold this film to the standards that they would hold a commercial or a shoddily written Saturday morning cartoon. To me the worst Star Wars film ever made and enough to evaporate any interest in following the franchise any further. It feels like a great loss- but it's Disney's right to do whatever they want. I just don't have to follow.
Absolutely terrible. completely ruined everything interesting from the previous movie, while also ruining the character of Luke, the Jedi legacy, and anything related to the force. This movie should never have been made.
I have been a Star Wars fan most of my life and I never thought a could dislike anything Star Wars related, I even really enjoyed the prequels.
But this movie destroyed everything that was good about Star Wars.
Gorgeous visuals, but truly atrocious storytelling!! Such wasted potential!
Committed character assassination, redefined the force and had mostly useless characters. They might say it's new and modern but it isn't. It is horrible what they have done to this amazing 40 year old epic journey.

The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) rates the Bisons eighth in the South Region. Wake Forest holds down the top spot followed by North Carolina, North Carolina State, Duke, South Carolina, College of Charleston and Gardner-Webb. Central Florida is ranked ninth and Florida International is rated 10th.
"I think it is motivation," said Bisons coach Charles Morrow. "We have talked about this from the beginning of the season. No longer are we the underdog that teams in the conference are going to overlook.
"The days of being ranked at the bottom of the conference and knowing that we can overachieve are probably long gone. Teams are going to give their best efforts against us. There is a difference in playing the underdog role and playing with a target on your back."
The Bisons are unbeaten this season with a 2-0-1 record. They tied Berry College 1-1 to open the season and then shut out Oral Roberts and Marshall by identical 1-0 scores. Morrow thinks the ranking, the first of the season by the NSCAA and the NCAA, is a reflection on the last two seasons as well as the first three games of this season.
"There is a respect there for what we did last season as well," said Morrow. "Certainly being undefeated at this point is great, but it is just the first weekend. I don't know if we would be in this ranking had it not been for what we have done the past couple of seasons."
Morrow has stressed to his players that they have to be playing at a top level not only in games, but every time they practice.
"There is an awareness that we are no longer flying under the radar," said Morrow. "Every time we step out we have to bring our best. That has to translate over to practice and training as well. We can't expect to only bring our best on game days.
"It is more of an awareness of the things we can control. The effort and intensity has to be there every game and in every practice as well."
Morrow added that his players must also realize they are carrying the flag for the Atlantic Sun Conference at this stage of the season.
"I certainly think there are other teams in the conference that are going to be in that group at the end of the year," said Morrow. "We want to be there too."
The Bisons will be tested this weekend at the Michigan Invitational in Ann Arbor, Mich. They play No. 20-ranked Michigan State Friday at 5 p.m. They play host Michigan, which dropped out of the top 25 this week after being ranked No. 22 last season, Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Oh my
This episode > every other so far.
It had lots of Shion, which is pretty much autowin.
The bikers' completely unintelligible speech was awesome, as it's something I've always thought about that stereotype in anime
I can definitely sympathize with Shion finding Satoko to be excessively whiney, but not really enough to do what she did. And I think I heard poor Shion's heart hit the floor when Satoshi yelled at her One of my favorite things about Higurashi is the sudden psychotic outbursts, so I was loving that. But Shion's still my favorite, despite
It's feeling like my idea for Watanagashi-hen is gonna get ripped to shreds though, especially since Shi and Mi switch places so easily. And I just reaffirmed recently that people were putting too much thought into them switching places
All in all, if the rest of this arch stays this strong, it'll be the best yet. I have to give this a ten for bursting at the seams with awesome. It's really the best episode yet.

Wow, that scene at school was intense. I can understand why Shion thought those things during this episode, but seriously
Shame they didn't change the OP+ED (i was hoping they'd have new animation scenes to match the answer arcs) but it's no big deal.

I think Shion is horny, and that horniness carried over too far and made Satoko a victim. (Strange seeing the beating scene when Satoko did pretty much the same thing to K1 in episodes 10 and 13).
Is it just me, or does Satoshi sound a lot like Jun from Rozen Maiden?

Much like LostBlue previously said.., answer Arcs don't give the answers in a literal way.., everyone will still have to think to understand how everything fits together
Altough despite crushing alot of theories aswell.., I am becoming extreamly happy on the way that Maekashi-hen started and is developing towards its conclusion.., this specialy because well.., my speculations & theory so far regarding Watanagashi-hen (which I posted in the episode 8 thread) seem MORE and more to be correct
Reasons for this are as follows.., and also taking things from this episode...
I'd better spoil tag this ^^
In the end.., I'll say it again.. A Great episode !, to me..., there is no way this anime can do any rong

All that I wrotte then and now about Shion is only regarding most of what happened in Watanagashi-hen; specialy regarding the Shion & Mion's actions actions.., and what lead for those events in Watanagashi-hen to happen.
Regarding EVERYTHING else, there are still alot of questions on how & why, and I surely trust many of the answers will be without a doubt non-Shion related; oh and I do want to emphasise "everything" beacause.., it is alot
This episode in my eyes just focused in my eyes in delivering some justifications, as to how Shion's development started.., in which then as ended in Watanagashi-hen.
Hopefully the next will continue to do as such, but not just that

These scenes are quite important because they provide you with critical insights on how the character is feeling at the time. When Shion finally got to see Satoshi again at Hinamizawa's school (after weeks of seperation, like LostBlue said), she was crushed when Satoshi treated her coldly. Shion was crying and begging him to tell her what's going on, but even then, Satoshi completely rejected her. And when Satoko began crying later, that sadness turned into pure anger directed at her.
Wouldn't the episode have a much larger impact if it was done that way?

Hmm... So Shion has been secretly living around Hinamizawa pretending to be Shion when she goes out. In chapter 2, it seems everyone knows Shion. At least we see that Takano, Oishi, and others know Shion. But why is it that Rena never knew her? When K1 mentions Shion, Rena said she didn't know Mion had a younger sister at all. Mion says that Shion lives in Okinomiya, which is where Oishi is from.
Perhaps the citizens of Hinamizawa don't know about Shion? In episode 16, we see that Shion was 'suppose' to be killed at birth since having twins would be troublesome. Perhaps Shion's birth was kept hidden from the citizens of Hinamizawa, since the Sonozaki family hold such importance there. That could explain why outsiders like Oishi and Tomitake know Shion, and Takano being kind of a snoop and knowing Tomitake might have that kind of information. But it seems Dr. Irie also knows her. She's even the manager of the Hinamizawa baseball team!
So probably Shion has officially revealed herself to the public before K1 moved to Hinamizawa. Maybe Rena doesn't know about Shion because she's kind of dumb and maybe mixes Mion and Shion together into 1 person when they are both there. Too bad we never see the other girls talk about Shion or even ever meet her except when they think she's Mion. So perhaps they are also oblivious to Shion's existance. But I guess some of them would know, especially Satako since she would probably act coldly to Mion, unless she knew it was Shion that beat her up. But do we ever really even see Satako talking with Mion alone?

At this pt in the story almost no one knows who Shion is or that Mion had a twin besides people within the Sonozaki. Rena just moved back into town around the time Satoshi stop coming to the baseball practice. No one including Mion, knew much about Rena at this point. Rika has heard of a Shion, but never met her as Shion is not allowed at the Gosanke meetings. Kimiyoshi-san however has met and loves Shion. That's pretty much the extent of it. Both Shion and Mion lived in Okinomiya with their parents through most of their childhood so it isn't strange that the vast majority of the people in Hinamizawa do not know who Shion is.
Shion's name has meaning just like Mion's (although not as meaningful). Shion was given the character 寺 (Shrine) in her name 詩音. This was to signify that Shion was predetermine to be sent off away from the family. In the old days in Japan, parents did abandon their childern at shrines to be raised away with little to no contact with the family again (overly simplified, I know).
Tidbit 2:
詩 (Shi) = Poem
魅 (Mi) = Charm, enchant
音 (On) = Sound

Had she ever met Rena before she was sent to that private school ?, This would have been of course, before Rena had moved out and then moved in again.
Thing is according to the TIPS (and despite Keiichi had not asked Rena about it) it only showed us that Rika knew of Shion's existence.., and well.. in Watanagashi-hen when Keiichi first questions Mion about Shion.., Rena seems surprised as if she did not know of her existance aswell.
BUT.., Rena did play a Key role in the last episode of Watanagashi-hen.., upon entering the Sonozaki house and sitting down with Keiichi to talk with Mion(Shion).., she Clearly saw that that was in fact Shion and quickly caught her act, specialy from the moment she even says that it isn't necessary for her to show the tattoo; since she knew that her beeing Shion she wouldn't have it.
So she rather just letted the story play along, probably to see how far it would go.
It feels strange to me that.. if Rena had actualy never met Shion how could she tell ?, Was it all instinct ? Was it aswell the same reason why Shion was afraid to cross path with Rena, only pure and natural instinct ?
Much like you said.., it would realy provide us with a much bigger in-sight on how Shion's mentality works.., and what where the trigger moments that compeld her actions in the way that they did.
Never the less though, if one pays extreamly attention to the details I belive the anime is giving good foundation to lay down good speculations about the possible reasons that made her act as such.
Altough.., I now miss not seeing the inner monologues aswell

The Registrars Who Shut Down Websites After Demands From City Of London Police Likely Violated ICANN Policy
from the not-how-it-works dept
In fact, Mark Jeftovic, the head of EasyDNS, the one registrar that appears to have both refused the City of London Police's demand and also spoken out publicly about this terrible attack on due process, is now noting that all of the other registrars who complied with the orders are almost certainly in violation of ICANN's policies because they obeyed the police. The main issue is that part of the demand from the police was that the registrar not only redirect the site to a propaganda page, but that it also "freeze the whois record" to block any further changes.
But, as Jeftovic points out, ICANN has very specific rules about these things, and because some random police force demands it is not an approved reason to do such a thing:
Since there were no charges against any of the domains and no court orders, it may be at the registrars' discretion to play ball with these ridiculous demands. However – what they clearly cannot do now, is prevent any of those domain holders from simply transferring out their names to more clueful, less wimpy registrars.Jeftovic further notes that the registrars who folded upon receiving the police threat have now opened themselves up to significant liability problems, because the sites that got taken down can respond via the Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (TDRP), which could mean that the registrars will have to pay "substantial" fees for blocking the transfer without a valid basis.
If any of those registrars denied the ability to do that, then they would be in clear violation of the ICANN Inter-Registrars Transfer Policy.
Section 3, Obligations of The Registrar of Record clearly spells out the reasons why a registrar may deny a transfer-out request, and they are limited specifically to cases of fraud (the domain was paid for fraudulently), a UDRP proceeding or, hey, get this one "Court order by a court of competent jurisdiction", as well as some administrative reasons (like the domain was registered less than 60 days ago).
What is conspicuously absent from the list of reasons why a registrar that actually complied with this lunacy can now deny a transfer-out request is "because some guy sent you an email telling you to lock it down".
It certainly would be interesting to see the full list of sites the City of London Police decided to censor, as well as who the various registrars are, and how they reacted. While such a list doesn't appear to be out yet, I imagine it's only a matter of time.

The Crusader tennis team starts the season off right.
It may have not felt like a good day for a tennis tournament with a chill in the air, but the players were on the courts in Wellington, where the home team took the title.
The WHS boys tennis team finished with 36 points in first place, edging out Goddard-Eisenhower High School who had 31 points.
Wellington featured a couple of first place performances in individual and doubles events. Brian Peck, senior, won the Number One Singles bracket going 4-0 on the day.
The Crusader duo of Jon Ryberg, sophomore, and Tyler Pettegrew, sophomore, won the Number One Doubles competition, also going 4-0 at Wellington's only home contest.
Sophomore, Dutch Brownlee took home a second place medal in Number Two Singles, going 3-1 on the afternoon; only losing to Goddard-Eisenhower. Chaz Crittenden, senior, and Anthony Glazer, junior also took second place with a 3-1 record in Number Two Doubles.
As for the rest of the teams in Wellington yesterday, there weren't many points to go around after the first and second place finishers. El Dorado took home third place with 14 points, Kingman finished fourth with eight points, followed by Augusta in fifth with two points.
Next up for the WHS tennis team is a tournament at Chaparral on April 2.
"Everyone played really well," said Head Coach, Allen Keller. "If we continue to improve every 3 weeks at the rate we have the first 3 weeks, I'm very optimistic about our chances the rest of the season."

LWN.net: The Grumpy Editor's Guide to Image Management Applications
LWN.net's Grumpy Editor examined image management applications including digiKam and KimDaBa after some time ago he already evaluated digiKam for accessing his digital camera: "digiKam is a capable and useful tool with a few remaining shortcomings. Given its pace of development, chances are that those issues will be ironed out in short order."
Cheers for digiKam
I use digiKam, and I like it. Although it's UI would benefit from some "lifting", it's by far the most useful and powerful application of this type for Unix (as I know). The plugins make it sooo useful. It only tend's to move into a direction I personally do not like too much. It is extended by more and more plugins to manipulate the images. I'd prefer if those functionality would be left for gimp/krita. Instead easy of use, and image-handling should be more in the focus. Let's see what versions 7.3 and 8 will bring.
By birdy at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Re: Cheers for digiKam
The way I see it, digikam's focus is plugins that are useful for photographers. I don't think you have to worry about them introducing selection tools, gradient tools, and silly painting tools.
However, what you will see are things like lens distortion correction, grain reduction, white balance alteration, advanced b&w conversion, red eye removal etc. Things that are directly relevant to photographers and not for people who want to do massive screwing around with photos a la photoshop/gimp.
At least that's how I hope digikam will go.
There are actually several filters in digikam that the gimp doesn't have plugins for yet.
Offtopic, but something I would like to see that has been talked about for a while is a timeline bar.

Like was noted at LWN, he really did miss the point of KimDaBa.
By Ian Monroe at Wed, 2005/05/11 - 5:00am
I really like digiKam there are, however, two features that I think it lacks. The first lacking is the ability to search. In my opinion you should be able to search for pictures based on multiple tags, comments and even exif data.
The second lacking is possible to work around already but, it would be nice if it was easier. That is the ability to restrict editing the images. digiKam makes it almost too easy to alter or damage a picture. I think that it would be better if the changes or editing was done in the database and the original image was preserved. As I said, you can work around the problem by using file permissions. Simply set the file permissions to Read Only.
Search would be awesome!
By None at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Re: digiKam
Search is coming. 0.7.3 is around the corner (though without search), and .8 is in development. Giles et al on the list are quite friendly, and tend to fix things quite quickly (like the endianness issue with colour stuff like solarize). I've got the beta running on Kubuntu on amd64 using nothing more than apt-get source and a compile call. Quite stable, quite fast :)
For the poster who raised the editing plugins thing - digiKam seems to be keeping the core plugins purely photo related. It's up to kipi plugins (which are meant to be plugins for every KDE image app) to do the fun things like make a calendar etc. Don't want that in your digiKam? Don't enable the plugin.
By Duncan at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Re: digiKam
Ideally the search would use the kmrml framework, which has awesome potential but I think is underutilized!
By kundor at Wed, 2005/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: digiKam
> In my opinion you should be able to search for pictures based on multiple tags,
> ability to restrict editing the images.
It seems to me that you are looking for KimDaBa[1]. While digikam is a very good application which does well image management and image editing, Kimdaba only does image management but is excellent at doing it. It allowed me to set quickly information about locations/persons/keywords for my 7 000 pictures, and navigating between them is now very pleasant.
It can search for multiple tags, including incrementive search [2], and for comments, but not for exif data[3] for now. Since it's not an image editor, he never touch original files, you can set your pictures read-only if you want. For example it you rotate a picture, it will store this information in his XML database, and apply it at runtime.
[1] http://ktown.kde.org/kimdaba/ Version 2.1 is only a few days old.
PS: and if you need an image editor too, I would of course recommand to use our beloved Digikam at the same time.
By jmfayard at Wed, 2005/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: digiKam
> The second lacking [...] is the ability to restrict editing the images. [...]
That's not a "workaround". Everything *else* would be a workaround. Just add a lock action (e.g. with lock icon in the toolbar) that does set/unset the writable file permission. Saving that in a database is IMHO silly and misguided.
By Melchior FRANZ at Thu, 2005/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: digiKam
digikam is a nice program. However, I had to figure out that it completely *ignores* the file permissions. I set all my image files to read-only, but after editing, it just overwrites the files! Indeed, this should be considered a bug.
What would be nice: an undo button for all actions, e.g. for adding keywords to a selection of files or for removing files.

Image screensaver
Unrelated and still somewhat related - which is the best image screensaver available for Linux? Mac supplies a really good one: it shows high-res pictures, with a slow zoom and pan movement, and after a while fades to another picture. Simple, but really effective and good looking. I have not found anything similar for Linux - there are all kinds of fancy effects but they are more annoying than anything. If none can be found - which is the best image library available to write something like this?

One of the basic graphic tasks in KDE bothers me still. You can't get a screeshot with a simple click on 'Prt Scr' and paste it to an image editing application.
The current way of using KSnapshot is a bit akward IMHO. It's not a big problem for me, but newbeginners find it difficult to take screenshots and paste them into a document.
You can bind Prt Scr to KSnapshot, but you still need to save the image and insert the file into document manually. I'd rather not use KSnapshot if all I wanted is a full screen shot. KSnapshot is nice when you want to take a shot of a certain application window.

Re: PrintScreen
Really? Works for me.
I pressed "Prt Scr" and pasted it into KolourPaint...

By Carsten Niehaus at Wed, 2005/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: PrintScreen
I didn't actually know myself before I tried it prior to posting. It's a feature I newer have used myself with KDE, but I have used KSnapshot a few times. Since I take a minimal amount of screenshots I have never bothered to do it another way. I have on the other hand used Ctrl-Prt Scr on windows and guessed that KDE does much the same. I tried it and it worked perfectly.
Sometimes when you want a feature or way of doing something in KDE, try it like it's done on other desktops or in the way it's most logic to do. In my experience more cases than not, KDE already has the feature:-)
Re: PrintScreen
Since when does this work? Or is this distribution-specific?
By ac at Wed, 2005/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: PrintScreen
The feature has been in KDE since at least KDE-3.1.0. There was a problem in Qt that made the feature a bit flakey, but it has worked fine for me for the last two years or so now.
By teatime at Wed, 2005/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: PrintScreen
The Ctrl-Prt Sc has worked for a long time, KDE 2 times I'd guess. Just tested on KDE 3.2 and it worked so every release after that. Of course it can become distribution specific, as some distributions are known to do strange things from time to time. Afterall the keybindings are fairly easy to change/mess up, so some distributions may very well have managed.
The preview in Klipper is a KDE 3.3 thing, I think. Since I have not seriously used 3.3 to any length, I'm not sure.
Re: PrintScreen
My Alt-Prt Scr is reserved for the kernel so I assume that doesn't work. I prefer ksnapshot anyways since I'm usually saving the screenshots online, KDE's network transparency makes this easy.

Just curious - by "Alt-Prt Scr" you mean the "Sys Rq" feature, right? That requires you to compile kernel in debug mode - does that make the kernel slower or have any other side-effects?
By Dima Ryazanov at Wed, 2005/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: PrintScreen
It doesn't put the kernel in 'debug mode' - the option to enable sysrq just happens to be under 'kernel hacking' in the kernel config is all. Doesn't have any side effects really. Its nice if your computer crashs a lot (like my previous one did).

Re: PrintScreen
These are configurable shortcuts. Check proper Kcontrol module.

Re: PrintScreen
Thanks Morty, I thought that I'm an advanced KDE user, but...
I feel ashamed now - and enlightened :)
I always tried using just simple Prt Scr without modifiers. This is just one of those little rough edges we still have in a very nice desktop environment.

Re: PrintScreen
As others have said, you can use Ctrl-PrintScrn and Alt-PrintScrn, but you should also know that you can press Ctrl-C in ksnapshot to copy the image to the clipboard.
By Richard Moore at Thu, 2005/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: PrintScreen
If the print screen button isn't working for you, check that you have a recent version of KDE, and then under control center->Regional & Accessibility->[Global Settings]->General Settings, make sure that Disable KHotKeys daemon is not checked, and double check the settings under Preset Actions.
By DSS at Thu, 2006/10/05 - 5:00am
Re: PrintScreen
To be honest, I hate this single key screenshot. My PrtScr/SysRq key is right next to Backspace (both being small, normal size keys) and when I type fast, very often I am getting 1-2 snapshots popping up and I have to stop and kill them. Went to KDE hot-keys menu and there it says that it should only work with Alt+PrtScr - not true since I know I don't make this combination... A single key for snapshot with my keyboard is not a good thing, especially when one has my keyboard type. And no, I will not change my keyboard with one that has PrtScr at a safe distance, just for an application.
By Andi V at Sat, 2007/06/09 - 5:00am
Re: PrintScreen
KDECC > Regional & Accessibility > Input Actions, Preset Actions > PrintScreen, check the box labeled Disable and click the Apply button. Problem solved!

Slideshow with EXIF rotation possible?
digikam offers a slideshow feature.
Does anyone succeeded displaying images containing EXIF information
The "build-in" image editor does not have any problems with that!
(SuSE 9.2, supplementary rpms for KDE3.4)

Now, i'm not really a fan of these types of threads as usually you can just find out for your self or just dive in and try them to make your own mind up, it's pretty subjective anyway right?
I have not touched these before, obviously. Not even a Subphatty or the original Odyssey but there is not denying that there are obvious things in common with these two.
I have pretty sold myself on the SUB37 but this crazy odyssey news came straight out of left field.
Maybe it's worth discussing the pro's and cons of each? as many will be in this same conundrum.

In 2010, NIDA assembled its first Teen Advisory Group (TAG) to get authentic teen feedback on how to improve our Web sites and materials for teens. TAG members have been key in developing the Sara Bellum Blog as well as new materials that will soon appear on the PEERx Web site. They have also helped with other cool tools still in development. We bring together teens from all over the country who meet once a month over the phone and online to give their feedback and opinions on the design and functionality of Web pages, activities, logos, names of our awareness programs, characters in videos, scripts, ways of reaching teens in social media, and much more.
In order to be eligible, you must currently be 13-18 years old and enrolled in a U.S. high school.
What's in it for you?
Not only do we get your valuable feedback to help us develop our Web site and materials targeted to teens, but you also benefit from participating in the TAG.
- For every four sessions in which you participate, you will receive $100. If you are not able to participate in all 4 sessions, you will get the equivalent of $25 dollars per session.
- You get something awesome to put on your college applications and résumés. You can say that you helped the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of NIH (the National Institutes of Health), develop materials for teens to learn about the dangers of and the science behind drug abuse.
- It's a great way to connect with teens around the country to talk about how to get the message out to your peers.
- It's also fun. You get to tell us what you do or do not like. If you want your voice to be heard, if you want to make a difference, this is the right place for you.
So what's stopping you? Shoot us an email at email@example.com We look forward to hearing from you!
This an awesome blog!
I've just joined the fun, thank you so much for having this around. This is also for our company because we have teen women employees. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
i think that drugs are very bad!!!!!!!!! no 1 should do it! it is very bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trust me you don't want anything to do with drugs! They took 15 years away from my life and I almost destroyed my family. If you have any questions about getting help go to: Addiction Care [commercial link removed, per guidelines]

Superbly intonated soprano.
The Oleg Maestro Saxophones are distinguished from any other brand by the revolutionary Optimized Acoustics technology that sets new standards in sound richness, power, presence and projection. The Oleg Maestro Straight Soprano is a masterpiece of innovation, an instrument whose intonation is unprecedentedly even across the range of the instrument.
Oleg himself has the mixed curse and blessing of perfect pitch, and is a stickler for even intonation, and for a strong pitch definition within the core fundamentals of the note across the range of the horn. He is also focused on the efficiency of preserving the vibration of the reed and the entire horn intact. His horns,necks, mouthpieces and ligatures operate together as a single whole, and result in an instrument whose resonance and presence is unrivaled in its price range.
Apart from a great presence in the fundamentals of the tone, the overtone series emanates extremely well from this soprano saxophone, making it rich and delightful to hear. Its action is smooth and easy, and its design is classic and elegant.
The consistent impression the player gets after testing the Maestro saxophones is a result of Oleg's unique procedures in manufacturing: a blend of art, technology, craftsmanship, and acoustic science. Performed exclusively by the inventor himself, every saxophone's neck and body are painstakingly matched note by note through miniscule adjustments in geometry of the neck. Key alignments guarantee precise pitch-resonance placements, producing the best tones throughout all registers.
From Sopranino to Bass, Oleg products Inc. are sure the "Maestro" line of saxophones are your best match for discovering your true sound. This technology, which has for some time benefitted the world's most accomplished saxophonists, is now at your fingertips. Be amazed at your newly found tonal beauty, power, presence, response and intonation.
Order today and pull your pitch into line.

DELAND, Fla. _ The Lipscomb Bisons made history by playing in their first ever Atlantic Sun Tournament game.
But they missed a chance at becoming the first No. 6-seed since 2005 to beat the No. 1-seed as thehy fell 4-3 Wednesday night to Stetson at Melching Field at Conrad Stadium.
The game featured a pitching duel between Lipscomb's Rex Brothers, the Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, and Stetson's Corey Kluber, the A-Sun Pitcher of the Year.
Brothers left in the eighth inning with a 3-1 lead and two runners on base with no one out. Brandon McClurg entered the game and gave up a single to center by Braedyn Pruitt to load the bases. Jordan scored on a throwing error by Cadavid. Stetson scored the tying and go-ahead runs on a double to left by Adam Tindle.
Brothers allowed four hits and three runs, one earned. He struck out two and walked five. McCLurg took the loss, evening his recordd at 4-4.
Kluber pitched eight innings and gave up eight hits and three runs, all earned. He struck out 12 and walked tbree.
The Bisons left Ben Williams in scoring position at third base in the first inning. Williams led off the game with a single on the first pitch. He then stole both second base and third base, but was left stranded.
Stetson came back in the bottom of the first with a run. Lead-off hitter Shane Jordan singled to right center. Casey Frawley followed with a single up the middle to bring in Jordan.
The Bisons bounced back in the second inning. Ryan Wilkins sent Stetson's right fielder to the wall for a triple. Wilkins scored when Branden Cadavid grounded out to second base.
In the fifth Andrew Nickerson walked. Cadavid struck out swinging. Allen Bolden grounded out to first base to move Nickerson to second. Williams connected for his second hit of the night with a single to center field to score Nickerson.
In the eight Caleb Joseph hit his first-ever Atlantic Sun Tournament home run, his eighth of the season. The solo shot just cleared the wall in left field after traveling approximately 340 feet.
Williams led the Bisons with two hits. He also had a game-high three stolen bases on four attempts.
The Bisons, 28-29, play Gardner-Webb, 25-31, the No.5 seed, Thursday morning at 10 a.m. CDT. Gardner-Webb lost 5-4 to No.2-seed Mercer.

Fannie Mae Reports Results, Progress in 2013
Since 2009, Fannie Mae has funded $4.1 trillion in loans and provided access to housing for millions of families.
Homeowners will appreciate that Fannie Mae remains the country's leading source of single-family financing, enabling more people across the country to buy, refinance or rent a home.
According to Fannie Mae's recently published Progress Report, this liquidity helps create stability in the housing market. "For the individual, (liquidity) means affordable mortgage credit is available. For our nation, it means a more stable economy," Fannie Mae CEO Timothy Mayopoulos wrote.
Many homeowners don't realize Fannie Mae's profits go back to taxpayers. "We will have paid a total of $121.1 billion in dividends to Treasury as of March 2014, which is approximately $5 billion more than we have received in taxpayer support," pointed out Mayopoulos.
Keeping Families in Their Homes
In 2013, Fannie Mae helped many struggling homeowners like Yvette stay in their homes or find alternatives to foreclosure through a loan modification.
Yvette, purchased her northern New Jersey home in 2008 and lives with her two adult daughters and granddaughter. She works full-time as an executive assistant, and anticipated that when her daughters graduated from college they would contribute to the household finances. But that hasn't been the case. They graduated into a stagnant job market and neither found employment in their desired field. A friend suggested she contact a Fannie Mae Mortgage Help Center. A Fannie Mae representative worked with Yvette's mortgage company to modify the mortgage—saving Yvette $447 a month.
In addition to assistance through modifications, Fannie Mae has helped over 1 million families like Ruben's refinance their mortgage under Fannie Mae's Refi Plus™ initiative, which includes the Administration's Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP).
A retired Air Force officer, Ruben bought his four-bedroom ranch-style home in Sacramento, California, in 2007. Two years later, he was reassigned to the East Coast. It was a slow time for Sacramento's housing market, and he was unable to sell the home. He eventually found a renter, but between what he owned on the mortgage and what he was able to collect for rent he was losing $1,000/month.
He approached his mortgage company about a refinance in 2013, and within three weeks had refinanced under HARP to save $763 a month.
There are also times when families can no longer afford their homes, and will need to leave.
To that end, Fannie Mae works with families to help them sell their home, or voluntarily transfer the mortgage back to Fannie Mae (Mortgage Release™).
Fannie Mae's goal is to sell properties it owns within a short time to new owners to minimize the impact on the community. And that's where HomePath comes in….Fannie Mae-owned properties are listed on HomePath.com, complete with photos and descriptions. HomePath lets visitors enter or choose simple parameters (like price range and number of bedrooms) to find matching properties.
According to Jane Severn, a marketing director in the Real Estate Asset Management group, Fannie Mae prefers to sell HomePath properties to buyers who will live in the home, as opposed to investors who plan to rent or sell the home. Because these homes are competitively priced, they often attract first-time buyers, homeowners who want a larger home, or retirees looking to consolidate, she notes.
Help on Many Fronts
During 2013, Fannie Mae refreshed its Know Your Options website, adding content to educate consumers on all aspects of homeownership and renting. "Fannie Mae's mission is to help people rent, buy or refinance their homes, so our Know Your Options website has grown from its original focus of helping homeowners avoid foreclosure to become more inclusive and offer additional assistance," notes Courtney Green the marketing manager who directed the site refresh.
Other help was more hands-on. Fannie Mae's Know Your Options Community team met with thousands of at-risk homeowners like Chicago homeowner Agnes who was confused about the status of her loan modification. She met with Fannie Mae housing advisor Richard Staples and received help on the spot: Her servicer acknowledged the oversight and agreed to work with her to resolve the situation. "Agnes left the event with a smile on her face knowing she's finally making progress on the permanent modification," notes Staples.
In addition, thousands of homeowners each year receive help from Fannie Mae's Mortgage Help Centers and Resource Information Center. During 2013, Fannie Mae opened the first of two new regional call centers to offer distressed borrowers nationwide telephone and email support.
Fannie Mae also steps in when disaster strikes. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated the co-op beachfront apartment owned by Robert and Meng. Unable to live in the building, they endured the difficulty of paying their mortgage and renting a home nearby. They reached out to Fannie Mae in 2013 for help and were granted a 12-month forbearance. At the end of the forbearance period, they will be considered for a modification.
"This arrangement helps the family stay up-to-date with their mortgage payments while the building is being rehabilitated and they can move back," Angelica Vasquez, the manager of the Miami Mortgage Help Center told NewsFeed at the time.
And although Fannie Mae stopped purchasing reverse mortgages in 2010, the company partnered with Florida Housing Finance Corp. (Florida Housing) and Florida Department of Elder Affairs, to launch the Elderly Mortgage Assistance Program (ELMORE), which uses state Hardest-Hit Funds to assist seniors struggling with property-related expenses so they can stay in their homes.
Fannie Mae's Progress Report has more stories about the company's progress in assisting America's homeowners and supporting the housing recovery. Explains Mayopoulos: "We have supported the housing recovery, strengthened our company, and improved the way we and industry partners do business…and we are helping to build a safer, more sustainable housing finance system for the future."

Novelist, LU alumnus Gerald Duff to visit Gray Library
Gerald Duff, novelist and Lamar University alumnus, will visit the LU campus April 18 to read excerpts from his literary works and discuss his education and memories from the university. The program begins at 7 p.m. on the eighth floor of the Mary and John Gray Library.
Duff will also talk about creative writing to the department's fiction writing seminar students at 1 p.m. in the Maes Building, Room 101.
Duff graduated from LU in 1961 with a degree in English after changing majors from electrical engineering his junior year, during which time, he worked on the Lamar English department's literary magazine "Pulse." He went on to receive a master of arts from the University of Arkansas and a doctor of philosophy in English from the University of Illinois. He has won the Cohen Award for Fiction from Ploughshares Magazine and the St. Andrews Prize for Poetry and has been nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Prize, an Edgar Allen Poe Award and an International eBook Award. Duff's most recent honor is for his novel "Blue Sabine," which won an award of merit from the Philosophical Society of Texas for the best book about Texas published in 2011.
Duff will read from his memoir "Home Truths," which deals with his days at Lamar.
He said for him, literature became the "main course" of his education, which led him to pursue graduate degrees in English.
"All other study (mathematical, scientific, and social) is the menu of side courses, the enriching support for literature," he said.
Duff will also discuss passages from some of his most recent novels, "Blue Sabine," a family saga about East Texas, and "Dirty Rice: A Season in the Evangeline League," a baseball novel set in the 1930s in Louisiana.
Funds for the discussions are provided by the Lamar University office of the provost and vice president for academic affairs and the Department of English and Modern Languages.
The Lamar Bookstore will have Duff's works available for purchase. Duff will be available for book signings after the discussions.
For additional information, contact Jim Sanderson, chair of the Department of English and Modern Languages, at (409) 880-8591
