COLUMBUS - The Lipscomb University Bisons gave No. 17 ranked Ohio State a strong challenge for a majority of the game Tuesday night before falling 84-64 in Columbus.
A layup by Adnan Hodzic put Lipscomb (0-4) on the board first but the Bisons were not able to find their shooting stroke early missing nine of their next 11 attempts as Ohio State (4-1) built a 14-6 lead eight minutes into the game.
A three-pointer by Ohio State's P.J. Hill and a dunk by Dallas Lauderdale off a Lipscomb turnover on the next possession gave the Buckeyes a ten point lead.
Lipscomb countered with a layup by Brandon Brown and then forced three consecutive Ohio State turnovers and scored on each to make it a 24-23 game with 5:05 left in the first half.
Neither team hit a field goal for the next until Ohio State's David Lighty hit a three-pointer with 2:07 left. Slater drained a long ball on the next possession for the Bisons to keep Ohio State's advantage at one point.
Lipscomb was not able to close out the half on a strong note as Ohio State went on an 8-0 run to take a 36-27 lead at the break.
Evan Turner, the reigning Big Ten player of the Week who entered the game averaging 21.8 points and 14.8 rebounds, was held scoreless until he hit a layup with 1:35 left in the half.
Turner finished the game with a triple-double with 16 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds.
The Bisons did not open the second half on a strong note turning the ball over on their first four possessions.
Ohio State scored off three of those to extend its lead to 15 points, 42-27.
Finding themselves down by 15 points again four minutes into the second half, Lipscomb went on an 8-0 run to make it a 47-40 game with 13:43 left.
Ohio State shot well the whole evening which allowed the Buckeyes to consistently rebuild its lead. They finished 33-of-57 from the field for 57.9 percent. Ohio State was 11-of-22 from the three-point line.
A three-pointer by Jacob Arnett and a layup by Adnan Hodzic allowed the Bisons to cut their deficit back to seven with 11:11 remaining.
Turner hit a jumper with 9:24 remaining to give Ohio State a double digit lead which they wouldn't relinquish.
Hodzic led Lipscomb with 18 points while Michael Teller added 11 points.
Lipscomb held a 32-30 advantage on the boards. The Bisons grabbed 13 offensive boards. Brown led Lipscomb with nine rebounds.
Lipscomb shot 25-of-58 from the field for 43.1 percent and were five-of-18 from beyond the arc for 27.8 percent.
Lipscomb was 9-of-14 from the free throw line. Ohio State was 7-of-17.
Ohio State finished with five players in double figures. Lighty scored a game-high 22 points. Jon Diebler scored 17 points off 5-of-11 shooting from the three-point line. Lauderdale had 13 points and Jeremie Simmons had 11 points.
Lipscomb returns to action Saturday at SIU Edwardsville. Game time is 2 p.m. CT.
Jonathan Seamon, Benjamin Seamon, and Justin Seamon will be on the call for the Lipscomb Sports Network. Free online audio streaming is available at www.LipscombSports.com/sportsnetwork/.

Paul Chambers
This set (reissued on CD in 1997) was one of trumpeter Lee Morgan's lesser-known Blue Note recordings but it is quite rewarding. The notable sextet (which also includes altoist Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley on tenor, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Billy Higgins) performs originals by Morgan, Walton and Duke Pearson, including particularly catchy versions of the funky "Hey Chico" and Pearson's memorable "Sweet Honey Bee" (which should have become a hit). The three horns, all of whom sound quite individual, each have their exciting moments, and the results are quintessential mid-'60s hard bop. ~ Scott Yanow

About the CRDBP
In January 2009, the NAW Institute for Distribution Excellence and Texas A&M University's Industrial Distribution Program launched an alliance dedicated to furthering the understanding and application of best practices in wholesale distribution. In doing so, the NAW Institute and Texas A&M combine the research and brand power of two well-known organizations serving wholesaler-distributors. Together, the NAW Institute and Texas A&M have formed a new entity—the Council for Research on Distributor Best Practices or CRDBP.
The field of wholesale distribution continues to experience dramatic change. Distributors have faced challenges in the form of expanding service offerings, pricing pressure, cost controls, and spiraling logistics costs for many years. For more than 50 years, the NAW Institute for Distribution Excellence has provided cutting-edge research and publications for sharing best practices. As the field of distribution continues to become more competitive, the need for higher levels of research to identify and document new best practices becomes ever greater.
The CRDBP is dedicated to furthering the understanding and application of best practices in wholesale distribution. The mission of the CRDBP will be to assist wholesaler-distributors and their suppliers through creating strategies for competitive advantage.
Through the CRDBP, NAW has published the following groundbreaking research studies:
Unlock the Power of Inventory Analytics: Aligning Working Capital to Customer Experience to Maximize Your Bottom
Driving Profitable Growth: A Distributor's Playbook to Generate-Manage-Sustain Competitive Advantage
Pricing Optimization: Striking the Right Balance for Margin Advantage

1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ - Steal-J Part XPosted in Project Vehicles on May 13, 2007
It's been well over a year and a half since we bought our '97 TJ from a bonehead with no clue about maintenance, cleanliness, and how to put up a Jeep's top when it's raining. We set out to build a comfortable vehicle for long-distance commuting that was equally at home doing 75 mph on the freeway as it was traversing the Rubicon or exploring desert ghost towns. We won't rehash the whole build because the prior nine installments are on our Web site at www.jpmagazine.com, but in the end, we're pleased to say we accomplished what we set out to do.
Rather than blow the whole Jeep apart and build it in one fell swoop, the modifications were done a little at a time just like most of you would do. And just like a lot of you would do, we picked one really good shop to handle all of the modifications. TAG Motorsports did the lion's share of the work, ensuring the Jeep would be ready for commuting duties at the start of each week. In this final installment, we'll show you some of the things that had bugged us about the vehicle and our solutions. Unlike the old saying, "No project is ever really done," we're calling this one finished.

FALL RIVER — Members of the City Council say they aren't taking it lying down after the Board of Health approved Mayor Will Flanagan's proposed regulations and fees on private trash haulers — a decision some members say is their legal responsibility.
City Councilor Raymond Mitchell said he was stunned the Board of Health unanimously approved several new regulations on private trash haulers, the same week the city rolled out the hotly debated pay-as-you-throw program.
"The administration is taking action without considering talking to the City Council about it, yet they are giving full authority to non-elected officials. This smacks, unfortunately, of someone out of control," said Mitchell, referring to Flanagan.
Residents filled the council chambers. Some protested pay-as-you-throw while others carried signs demanding a recall of Flanagan. About 10 people addressed the board and argued against the fees, many indicating it will hurt local businesses.
Mitchell said he would be talking to Somerset attorney Lesley Rich on Wednesday about the legality of the administration's move to circumvent the council's authority by instituting the new regulations through the Board of Health.
In 2010, Rich successfully represented a group of residents who fought Flanagan when he attempted to sell the land at the bioreserve park through the Redevelopment Authority to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.
According to The Herald News archives, it was reported that the basis of the suit was that the state Bioreserve Act stipulated industrial development in the former Freetown State Forest and prohibited casino use.
Mitchell said he wants to know if he can draft a resolution through the council to block the decision by the Board of Health.
Included in the regulations passed by the board, the city would require trash haulers doing business in the city limits to pay a $100 annual fee per trash truck, and the equipment will have to be registered with the city's health department.
The city also wants to implement an annual $25-per-Dumpster fee to Dumpster owners in Fall River and force the haulers to offer a bundled contract to haul both solid waste and recyclables, so that residents can't circumvent pay-as-you-throw's purpose to increase recycling in the city and increase revenue.
Bundling services is a requirement of a $200,000 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection grant to aid the city in enforcing the new solid waste program.
There is no longer a $10,000 line item to pay for legal opinions exclusively for the City Council in this year's budget. Mitchell said he hopes the business community, which has been a vocal opponent of the new regulations, would help the council pay for the opinion.
City Council President Joseph Camara said he believes that the administration should have gone through the usual procedure by sending a resolution to the City Council, which would send it to the ordinance committee for its recommendation.
The issue would have had two public hearings before the council would take a vote, Camara said.
Before Tuesday's Board of Health meeting, there were no such public hearings, and trash haulers were called to meet with the administration last week.
Camara said he is suspect of Corporation Counsel Elizabeth Sousa's interpretation of the law regarding allowing the Board of Health to set the regulations and fees.
"A lot of times, we're being told things and find out later it's not actually the case," Camara said.
On Wednesday, Sousa reiterated the opinion on the board's right to set regulations, which she presented to the members on Tuesday. She claimed under state statute that the board is allowed to set regulations.
"Case law substantiates their authority to set reasonable fees when issuing a license," Sousa said. "We didn't set precedence last night, and all municipal boards are able to set fees and always have."
City Councilor Michael Miozza said he understands the frustration exhibited by the more than 175 residents who crowded the City Council chambers on Tuesday night.
"They're concern is, if their elected officials are not allowed to make decisions, that their voices have been taken away," Miozza said. "At the core of the issue is, the administration has become both the executive and legislative branch of city government, at least in this instance."
Flanagan reiterated Sousa's opinion that state law allows the Board of Health to create regulations and fees regarding waste haulers, saying the rules are part of the sanitary codes.
"The City Council's accusation is the board does not have the authority to create fees," Flanagan said. "I disagree. The Planning Board creates licensing fees, the Zoning Board and the Department of Health have statutory authority to exact fees within their jurisdiction."

National Review helped launch Marco Rubio to prominence in his seemingly quixotic quest for the GOP Senatorial nomination against Charlie Crist and National Review has now declared the Gang of Eight immigration bill of which Rubio is a chief sponsor to be Rubio's Folly (cover below). NR senior editor Jay Nordlinger appeared on Morning Joe briefly this morning to explain why, and Jay's critique of the bill on the show serves as a decent counterpoint to Senator Rubio's message to us supporting the bill.
The Rubio spokesman who sent us the message on behalf of Senator Rubio tonight is a young friend whom I have long respected. He also recently defended the immigration bill with some vehemence against the charge that it would instantly gut the popular E-Verify system that is widely used to exclude illegal immigrants from jobs, and then create an enforcement gap for years before the arrival of a replacement system. In several emails to the Daily Caller, Neil Munro reported, Senator Rubio's spokesman repeatedly denounced the analysis of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to this effect. But he declined to supply bill language that shows how E-Verify is enforced once it is canceled, and before a replacement is developed by contractors, deployed by agencies and approved by the courts. And at last word a technical change had been made to the bill through a manager's amendment to "clarify" the continuation of the E-Verify program.

Diane Costello, CAUL.
October 6, 1999
Outlined below are a couple of licensing options for you and your group to consider. These options are in response to inquiries from CAUL member libraries for netLibrary pricing. If you have other ideas, please don't hesitate to let me know. I look forward to building a relationship that best meets the needs of your libraries and patrons.
As you know, there are two components to the licensing of netLibrary eBooks. First, the books themselves. Our prices are based on the hard copy list price of the title. In addition to the price of the book, there is an access fee that provides CAUL members with access to our extranet site (including electronic commerce-based ordering, account status, tailored usage reports, etc.), management and maintenance of the eBooks, escrowing of the eBooks and continual management of the network infrastructure (servers, software, etc.). This fee can be paid as a one-time charge equal to 50% the cost of the book(s) or if you prefer, you can pay this fee over the life of the book beginning in the 2nd year of licensing the book at 15% the cost of the book(s). Both options provide you with access to the books in perpetuity, as long as the access fees are current.
Option A – General Collection
This option allows your libraries to acquire 4,000 eBooks from the entire netLibrary collection (currently over 6,500 titles) and to share these books among all your libraries. CAUL will be provided with one copy of each of the 4,000 eBooks in the collection, be able to purchase multiple copies of individual titles, as well as have the ability to return titles that aren't as valuable to your collection. This program allows for an initial collection of 4,000 eBooks to be purchased for $176,000 less the negotiated discount. The discount is based on the total volume initially purchased as well as forecasted future volumes. CAUL has the opportunity to share the cost of (and access to) the collection among as many (or as few) members as you so desire. The available discount schedule is outlined in the attached agreement.
As this collection grows, your libraries will continue to have access to these books as well as the additional titles purchased by your group. Perpetual access to the books is guaranteed through the pre-paid or annual access fees.
Option B –Subject & Publisher Collections
This option allows you to license specific collections that are represented in the entire netLibrary collection. For example, we could package collections for the following popular subject categories: Computer Science, Technology & Engineering, Business & Economics, Literature, Consumer Health, and Travel Guides. In addition, this option allows you to select eBooks from a number of publishers. You may want to create standing (i.e. blanket orders) for eBooks available from O'Reilly, McGraw, Macmillan, Oxford and Cambridge and Harvard Business Press. To simplify future eBook selection, we could create standing orders for future eBooks that fall within these subject classifications or are published by these select publishers. We can work with you to define the collections that would be of value and the associated costs in starting the collection, as well as building it over the next 6-18 months.
Both options allow CAUL to establish a deposit account with netLibrary and allow you to debit funds to pay for future eBook purchases. We provide a system that permits you to manage the allocation of the funds toward eBooks manually or automatically based on an electronic commerce-purchasing model.
When you decide to purchase eBooks, the netLibrary license agreement will need to be signed. I have included a copy for your review. This agreement provides for CAUL to license the initial shared collection as well as the opportunity to license individual, unique member collections. For example, Australian National University may participate in the shared collection, yet may also find value in establishing their own unique collection for exclusive access. By participating in the shared collection and developing a unique collection, Australian National University's patrons will have seamless access to both collections.

Welcome to the CAUL/CONZUL trial of netLibrary!
Through this trial you will have the ability to experience the most comprehensive collection of online books and resource materials available. Following, you will find answers to some of the more frequently asked questions. If you have a question that isn't answered here, please contact Diane Costello at +61 (0) 2 6249 2990 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
What is netLibrary?
netLibrary™ is an easy-to-use, web-based system for accessing and retrieving full text reference, scholarly, and professional books. By combining the time-honored traditions of the library system with electronic publishing, netLibrary helps libraries create a richer, more productive learning environment for your patrons.
What is an eBook?
The term eBook applies to published materials such as reference books, textbooks, and research materials that have been converted into digital format for electronic distribution. By creating a virtual library of full text titles, netLibrary has made it possible for librarians to expand their collections without building new storage facilities. eBooks also eliminate other inefficiencies associated with printed materials. For example, eBooks can be delivered to patrons in remote locations immediately, without the need to spend time and money delivering books from library to library, campus to campus.
Does netLibrary require eBook devices such Rocketbook and softBook?
No. Hand-held eBook readers are not required. Libraries and their patrons can access their collections from any in-library or remote computer with Internet access and a browser version of 3.X or better.
Why would anyone want to read a book on a computer screen?
In general, people are using eBooks for their empowering qualities rather than for cover to cover reading. By focusing on reference, scholarly, technical and professional books, netLibrary is turning books into a compelling electronic resource. Patrons are using this resource as powerful research and reference tool as well as a high-speed method of previewing books before going to the stacks.
What types of eBooks are available?
The netLibrary collection consists of a broad range of reference, scholarly, and professional works from some of the world's top university and commercial presses. Please see http://www.netlibrary.com/booklist.asp?RM=5 and http://www.netlibrary.com/pub_part.asp to access the latest book list and publisher list.
How does netLibrary protect publishers' copyrights?
netLibrary's technology permits only one person at a time to view a copy of a given eBook. Patrons are also limited in their ability to print or copy the eBook.
What happens to our eBooks if netLibrary ceases operations?
netLibrary has established an escrow agreement with OCLC to store copies of all eBooks purchased. In the event netLibrary ceases operations, the purchased eBooks will be made available to your library.
How much does netLibrary cost?
Book pricing is equal to or less than publishers' list price for printed books, with discounts based on volume. For netLibrary's services (extranet, MARC records, OCLC escrow arrangements, customer support, etc.) a fee allows libraries to access the eBooks and receive the associated services. There are two options for payment of this fee: a one-time up front payment equal to 50% the cost of the eBook for immediate ownership in perpetuity or, beginning in year two, a fee equivalent to 15% the cost of the eBook declining by three percent each year to year six where the fee remains at 3%.
(see also http://www.anu.edu.au/caul/datasets/netlib-agree.doc)
How can the distance learner take advantage of eBooks?
netLibrary provides twenty-four-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week access to eBooks from any location in the world. Visitors to the netLibrary Web site can efficiently search thousands of titles simultaneously, finding multiple references for a subject or topic.
How do I know if eBooks are being used by my patrons?
netLibrary has invested in a world-class system that provides libraries with volumes of aggregate usage data-information that is simply not available from traditional circulation reports. These reports are available through the netLibrary extranet.
What is the Extranet?
The Librarian's Extranet is a secure portion of the netLibrary site that allows libraries and library consortia to administer and review the status of their netLibrary accounts. By accessing the Librarian's Extranet, authorized library personnel can add or remove users, establish IP addresses for authentication, and set checkout times for eBooks. The Librarian's Extranet also provides a number of real-time financial and usage reports.
How do I protect patron privacy?
Developed according to American Library Association recommendations, the netLibrary Web site is designed with built-in safeguards that ensure patron confidentiality. netLibrary is committed to the timely separation of personal identifiers from tracking elements. Our system detaches research strategies and usage patterns from recognizable patrons.
When will netLibrary be available?
Now. Simply visit www.netLibrary.com from any library-based computer terminal. If the CAUL logo is present, you will be able to access copyrighted eBooks. If not, please contact Diane Costello.
Does netLibrary integrate with our OPAC catalog?
Today, netLibrary makes MARC records available via OCLC. These MARC records allow you to integrate eBooks into your OPAC catalog with direct links to the text via the 856 field.
How do I learn more?
For more information about netLibrary, eBooks, and the title list, visit the netLibrary Web site at http://www.netLibrary.com. Or contact Diane Costello at +61 (0) 2 6249 2990.

The CAUL/CONZUL trial of netLibrary is underway! Please let me know if you experience difficulty of any kind on your end. I'd like to make certain you're seeing a branded site when you access netLibrary and that you are able to view copyrighted books.
Lisa Elliott
1 September 1999
We would also like to brand your netLibrary trial website with a logo or graphic so your users will recognize your netLibrary ebooks as part of your collection.
What I'd like to do is try to get your trial set up to begin September 13th. We'll plan on having your trial site up for 30 days. Just prior to turning your trial site on I will email you and let you know everything is a go.
Message from netLibrary 11 August 1999:
eBooks are licensed on a model similar to how you currently purchase hard copy books at a price comparable to the printed version of the book. This 'simultaneous use' licensing allows for unrestricted patron use on a book-by-book basis. In otherwords, if your library licenses one copy of a particular eBook, that book is available to as many people that want to use it, but only one user at a time. In addition, there are no restrictions on whether your patrons are on campus or remote. If you license more than one copy of the book, it will be available to the respective number of users. In addition to the price of the book, an access fee is extended. This access fee provides you with usage reports tailored specifically to your eBook library, the continual upgrade and maintenance of the technology, bandwidth, the escrow of eBooks and the access to eBooks. This fee can be dispersed over the life of the book or paid up-front as a one-time fee.
Lisa Elliott
Message from netLibrary 10 August 1999:
To give you a brief background about who we are and what we are doing: netLibrary is the most comprehensive collection of online books and resource materials available. By translating books into an electronic format netLibrary creates a virtual world that is as easy to use as a library, but is faster, more efficient, and accessible from any location
Some of the outstanding features of netLibrary include:
netLibrary allows users 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week access via the Internet. Patrons can use eBooks when it is convenient from any computer (home, school or library-based).
Increased Search Capabilities
netLibrary searches are precise, thorough, and efficient. Users can conduct full-text searches of every word in every eBook in a library's collection and search by MARC record. eBooks are cross-referenced and linked, and search terms are specified by your controlled vocabularies.
Our system employs advanced data-collecting capabilities. While maintaining patron privacy, netLibrary can provide libraries with valuable, aggregated usage data. This information will aid management and acquisition decisions, increasing libraries' abilities to identify and meet their patrons' needs. netLibrary reports do more than show the circulation patterns of eBooks. These reports can offer such information as demand, queuing activity and patron searches that were not satisfied by a library's collection.
Lower Book Overhead
Research suggests that the average lifetime costs of managing and maintaining a hard copy book are 2.5-4.0 times the original purchase price of the book. The costs over the life of a netLibraryä eBook are between 1.4-1.5 times the original cost of the purchase price of the book. These costs are built into the upfront cost of the eBook or can be distributed over the first 6 years of the eBooks life.
Each page is dynamically rendered, allowing netLibrary to establish a unique visual identity for each participating library. We use logos and color schemes that make netLibrary look like your library's home page; we become an extranet! Branding increases the library's visibility. With a simple click, patrons go from netLibrary to the libraries' home pages.
Annotation Capabilities
netLibrary's Knowledge Station is a more-advanced tool than anything currently available to library patrons, allowing them to use library books in new ways. Patrons can make notes in the margins of eBooks, highlight text, and bookmark pages. These notes can be saved as shadow files and reapplied to the text when the eBooks are borrowed again. These notes also can be shared, allowing professors to make notes in the course texts for students and letting students share notes and comments - both of which are means for deeper understanding of the texts. Without the Knowledge Station, your patrons would still experience all of the features of netLibrary, minus the ability to download books for viewing off-line and creation of annotation sets.
Special Collections
Our system can increase libraries' revenues by allowing libraries to put their special collections online and offer them to remote users. netLibrary also increases free patron access to these unique collections, while eliminating the risk of collection damage.
We officially launched on March 29, 1999, and are very excited about the impact we can make on libraries, their patrons, distance education and beyond. Please take a look at our application by going to HTTP://www.netlibrary.com You can also find more detailed information about the application itself by going to HTTP://www.netlibrary.com/libguide.asp [There is also] an article about netLibrary that the Chronicle for Higher Education featured in their April 16th issue. Along with this article we were also featured in the April 1 issues of Library Journal and American Libraries.

Brooke Shields releasing MAC make-up collection
Model-turned-actress BROOKE SHIELDS has teamed up with MAC cosmetics bosses to create her own make-up collection.
The Blue Lagoon star, 49, landed the project after a chance run-in with the firm's senior vice president and creative director James Gager, and now her Icon range will hit retailers in October (14).
Shields, who is famous for her styled brows, really got involved in the research and development process to ensure the products, which include eyeshadows, lipsticks, nail polishes and mascaras, were something she would want to purchase for herself.
She tells WWD.com, "I went through all of my make-up, opened it all up, looked at it all and started to decide what of each product I loved - whether it was from MAC or some obscure brand I got on a shoot in Japan. So many times you get asked to 'create' something, but it ends up being, 'Put your face on this'. I got to run with this, and I loved every detail of it."
Shields isn't the first celebrity to launch her own MAC range - Lady Gaga, Lorde, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna have all worked with the company on their own collections in recent years.

Arizona St. routs Navy in S.F. bowl game
KRAFT FIGHT HUNGER BOWL / Arizona State 62, Navy 28
Well, at least Sen. John McCain did his part for his alma mater.
He tossed the coin that came up tails for Navy at midfield, when the score was still 0-0.
"Tails never fails," Navy captain Bo Snelson said.
It wasn't the Arizona senator's fault that the Midshipmen deferred until the second half of the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and that Arizona State scored on its opening drive - and the next eight as well - in the course of an overwhelming 62-28 victory.
With superior athletes at every position running an up-tempo, score-quickly offense to go with a punishing defense, the Sun Devils quickly turned the game into a rout Saturday afternoon at AT&T Park.
It was the largest margin of victory among the 19 bowl games played to this point and underscored the difference between a team that tied for fourth place in the Pac-12 Conference and a service academy. Both teams finished with 8-5 records.
"They whipped our butts," Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. "I wish we could have done better for our seniors. The pain of losing doesn't compare to the pain of seeing them for the last time. I'll come back to coach. These guys will be protecting our country."
By scoring touchdowns on nine consecutive drives to start the game, Arizona State rang up the most points ever by a Pac-12 team in a bowl game and also established Fight Hunger Bowl records for points and margin of victory. In all, 30 Fight Hunger Bowl records were set or tied.
The Sun Devils had 648 yards in total offense and averaged 9.4 yards per play. Quarterback Taylor Kelly completed 17 of 19 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns, three of them to wide receiver Rashad Ross among his four receptions overall.
"We were very confident coming into the game," ASU coach Todd Graham said. "We have a system how to prepare guys to win bowl games. We're pretty confident in it. We knew as long as we didn't turn the ball over and have stupid penalties ... we were going to score points."
On defense, player of the game Will Sutton dominated from his defensive tackle position, tossing Midshipmen aside to record five tackles and 2 1/2 sacks.
"They're real, real powerful on defense, especially Sutton," Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds said. "He was a force the whole game. Their defensive line was as fast as their secondary, and they got us on the perimeter."
As the triggerman of Navy's triple option offense, Reynolds absorbed a number of punishing hits and had to come out of the game early in the fourth quarter after a particularly robust wallop by linebacker Anthony Jones a full second after pitching the ball.
"I'm fine," Reynolds said. "Got my bell rung a little bit. They came with it. They didn't let up at all. It's part of the game. I'm all right."
Arizona State put the game away in the first half by scoring touchdowns on all five possessions to take an insurmountable 34-7 lead at the break. It only grew larger when Ross hauled in his third touchdown catch early in the third quarter to make the score 41-7.
Navy, by contrast, missed scoring opportunities on two long drives in the first half. The Midshipmen drove from their 25-yard line to the ASU 31, where, on 4th-and-7 in the first quarter, Gee Gee Greene dropped a pass from Reynolds in the end zone.

Integrating liberal arts and business deemed crucial
More than 20 percent of all bachelor's degrees in the United States are awarded in business, making business, according to the National Center for Education Studies, the most popular college degree. Further, at many colleges and universities, business and liberal arts represent very different paths of study, and business students often express little desire to see the inside of the Liberal Arts building.Nevertheless, many business schools are busy re-emphasizing traditional goals of liberal education, including critical thinking, practical reasoning and communication skills.
The drive behind this movement is not new. In 1959, two reports instigated a profound change in business education. These reports, produced by the Carnegie Foundation and the Ford Foundation, urged that business schools move beyond the trade school, practitioner-oriented, anecdotal classroom training. The Carnegie Report argued that "a business education should also develop in a student an inquiring, analytical and searching mind and a code of ethics including honesty, integrity and an uncompromising respect for the rights of others." To gain academic as well as managerial respect and to educate young minds in the business-concerned possibilities of the future, business schools were encouraged to dig deeper into more classical forms of knowledge, including resources from literature, philosophy and psychology.
Recently, the Carnegie Foundation published Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education: Liberal Learning for the Professions (2011), a book that makes a new case for integrating liberal education with business studies. So, business schools seem interested in liberal arts, but what role do liberal arts play in a career-focused education? How does a liberal education prepare graduates, many of whom end up working in business? How does research in the liberal arts intersect with the concerns of business disciplines? What is the role of the liberal arts at RIT?
These issues at the intersection of business and the liberal arts are on the minds of many of us. At the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences in Fall 2011, international researchers and educators met for a conference organized by the highly respected Copenhagen Business School. The conference, "Integrating the Humanities and Liberal Arts in Business Education," discussed successful integration of humanities-based skills and concepts into business school curricula and further presented the benefits of bringing business discipline-based insights into the humanities.
At the 2012 Academy of Management Conference in Boston, more than 100 Academy members met to discuss ways in which skills from the liberal arts can enhance the potential of business school graduates, expand their capacity to approach and understand problems, think critically and communicate with others. Further, scholarly research at the intersection of philosophy and business demonstrates the importance and necessity of integrating theories, concepts and examples across disciplinary boundaries.
On March 15, RIT will host The Kern Symposium on Liberal Arts and Business, exploring the connections between the liberal arts and business disciplines. The goals of the symposium include facilitating an exchange of ideas, sharing best practices and articulating the role of RIT's College of Liberal Arts in education and research. The symposium will be open to the entire community and will feature external speakers as well as RIT colleagues.
The symposium, supported by the William A. Kern Endowment in Communications, is free and open to the public. More information can be found on the Kern website at www.rit.edu/kern.
This column presents opinions and ideas on issues relevant to higher education. To suggest an idea for the column, email email@example.com.

Echoes of the Damned #1 Out this Wednesday
Ecohes of the Damned #1 comes out this Wednesday from Devils Due Publishing and done by James Pascoe and Roger Robinson(Batman: Gotham Knights.) The story revolves around a detective with a tortured past who has to capture one more killer before hanging up the badge, the story sounds super familiar until the mystical vibe kicks in….
The one big thing that really stands out to me in the title is the artwork from Roger Robinson. It has a definite Sin City feel to the comic with it's heavy contrasting lines, layout of the panels and onomatopoeia. This is very evident in the first and last couple pages. I do not want to say too much about the storyline until I see issue #2 to see how more of the story pans out. If you are a fan of Noir style comics and want a little supernatural flair, check this one out on Wednesday.

Name This Blog/
This is my official post announcing my intentions to rename the NHL Tournament of Logos blog. It's a huge task that I cannot undertake on my own.
In the comments of this post, I would like you guys to start putting forth ideas for a new title. After a few days, I'm going to assemble a poll with some of the best options and on the blog's birthday (May 9), announce it's new name!
Here's an important thing to note when coming up with your ideas. Because people have bookmarks, I don't want to change the site's address. So we're staying put at nhllogos.blogspot.com. All I need from you guys is a new title only. (After we have that, we'll hold a contest to design a logo for the blog.)
It's all going to be up to you guys, so let's have your ideas!

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen.
The Saint Andrew Christmas Novena was introduced to me by my sister when I was quite young. Usually, a novena is prayed for nine days but, as in this case, it can also refer to a prayer that is repeated over any number of days.
Image of Saint Andrew from the Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Amalfi, Italy
SOURCE: Image of Saint Andrew from the Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Amalfi, Italy (Amalfi, Campania, Italy); photographed by Stephen J. Danko on 08 August 2011.
Although the novena is called the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena, the prayer is addressed not to Saint Andrew, but to God the Father Himself, requesting Him to grant our requests in honor of the birth of His Son. The connection to Saint Andrew is that the novena begins on the Saint Andrew's feast day and continues through Christmas.
To participate in the novena, recite the beautiful prayer at the top of this article 15 times each day from the Feast of Saint Andrew (today, November 30) through Christmas Day.
As I mentioned at the start, I was introduced to the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena by my sister when I was very young. In the weeks before Christmas, I recited the prayer 15 times each night after I was in bed, before I fell asleep. My motivation in reciting the novena was somewhat selfish, though. My sister had told me that, if I completed the novena, my wish would come true. I don't remember what I wished for, but it probably for something I really didn't need.
This year, however, I have a special reason to participate in the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena. Will you pray with me?

(NEW YORK) — The second storm of the season has formed in the Atlantic Ocean and Tropical Storm Bertha is expected to hit Puerto Rico this weekend.
Bertha is currently located 70 miles Northeast of Barbados and is moving at 21 mph, packing maximum sustained winds of 50 mph.
Luckily, the predicted path shows that the U.S. mainland will not be impacted. Puerto Rico, on the other hand, isn't so lucky.
Tropical Storm warnings are in effect for Puerto Rico as well as surrounding islands, with heavy rain and tropical storm force gusts likely this weekend.
As Bertha continues moving northwest, it could bring some wind-driven rain to the Bahamas on Sunday night into Monday. As a result, there is also the possibility of strong rip currents in Florida by early next week.
Tropical Storm Bertha is not expected to strengthen into a hurricane since it will go out to sea before reaching the East Coast.

Blueberries are one of the hot functional foods right now. A functional food is a healthy food that has healthful or disease preventing properties beyond its basic nutrients. Research has shown blueberries are good sources of antioxidants.
"The market demand for blueberries is increasing globally for a number of reasons," says Elina Coneva, a fruit horticulturist with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. "Blueberries combine nutrient richness, antioxidant strength, evidence for health benefits and versatility for manufacturing an array of products."
As demand for blueberries keeps increasing, Coneva, who is also an assistant professor at Auburn University, says so does the need for more people to grow them.
To promote both the production of blueberries and their nutritional value, specialists from Auburn University, Louisiana State University, Mississippi State University, North Carolina State University and USDA's Agricultural Research Service collaborated to develop a new blueberry website www.eXtension.org/blueberries. The project is supported by a three-year, $518,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Specialty Crop Research Initiative.
"This website has several goals. But a primary goal is to introduce a new economic development opportunity for people," said Natalie Hummel, LSU AgCenter Extension entomologist and the project leader for the new website.
It is part of the eXtension.org national website, which includes educational information on hundreds of topics posted by Extension specialists at land-grant universities across the country.
Production information
Visitors will find articles on how to grow blueberries, both conventionally and organically. Topics include site selection, soil testing, treating diseases, weeds, insect pests and much more.
The website has information on the health benefits of eating blueberries as well as how to select fresh berries, cook with them and preserve them through canning, freezing and drying. A recipe section includes salads, pies, drinks, muffins and even a blueberry soup.
"The site will be continually updated and added to," Hummel said.
If viewers want to know something about blueberries they can't find on the site, they can click on the "Ask an Expert" link found on every page and post their questions.
Most blueberry production in the United States is in the Northeast, but the No. 1 state in blueberry production is Michigan, which produced 99 million pounds in 2009. The South lags behind both the Midwest and the West, but the fastest growth in blueberry production is in the West and the South.
In 2009, blueberries were grown on nearly 320 acres in Alabama according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service and the gross farm value was $492,000, which is a 12.8 percent increase from 2000.
"Fresh, locally grown blueberries are available from mid-May through mid-July in south Alabama and from mid-June through late-July in north Alabama," said Coneva, who serves as the project co-leader for the Auburn and the Alabama Extension team.
Specialists involved in the "All About Blueberry" Web resource development hope as a result of the new site more people will go into the blueberry-production business, and more people will eat more blueberries.

Juninho happy with link between Middlesbrough and Ituano
Middlesbrough legend Juninho is confident the agreement between them and his new club Ituano will benefit both clubs.
By Paulo Freitas

Juninho, who had three spells at the Riverside Stadium and is considered one of the finest players ever to wear a Boro shirt - is now president of Sao Paulo outfit Ituano.
Juninho has now helped conclude a deal with his former club, and an official agreement is now in place.
"Since we started the work to recover and modernise Ituano, I thought about getting both clubs closer," Juninho told Terra.
"When I played a commemorative game [at Middlesbrough], they showed interest in having a partnership deal with Ituano.
"I wanted to improve Ituano's structure first, sort out the youth setup and establish a more solid situation so that I could get this project moving forward.
"Now, after [football director] Thiago Cruz went to England, the partnership has been agreed and two players went to Middlesbrough on trial."
Juninho is insistent he wants the deal to be long-term.
"It's only the beginning of this partnership, I'm very confident," he said.
"There is a big respect from Middlesbrough and they think the same way I run Ituano. I think it will be beneficial for both sides."
As part of the deal between the two clubs, teenagers Marcos Rhoden and Rafael Peireira both arrived in England earlier this month to train with Boro with a view to possibly signing.

Sometimes when I get tired all I want to do is look at pictures, not words. Also, my sister and I are in the midst of writing a children's book and I need to practise my children's writing skills. So I enlisted the help of Greg Long from Greg Long Photography, and my VIS teammate Sarah Roy's 'Memoroys', to tell the story of the Famous Five (aka the Jayco-VIS girls Kendelle, Roy, Jo, Lisa and their coach Donna) at the Canberra Tour:
The Famous Five were fresh from the Summer hols and ready for a jolly good time taking on smugglers and eating lashings of energy gels in Canberra.

'I don't think we'll find any smugglers out here in Stromlo Forest Park,' mumured Jo doubtfully.
'Woof!' said Timmy.
'What was that?' asked Donna.
'I think it was one of the Bundaberg Sugar girls,' said Kendelle. 'They're trying to distract us so they can attack and win the tour. I know, we'll attack first in the opening crit and take them by surprise.'
(c) Greg Long Photography
Bother!' said Lisa. 'Those girls were onto us from the beginning. Now we'll have to spend the next 45 minutes chewing stem and bleeding from our eyeballs. That is a jolly old bore.'
'Woof!' said Timmy.
'Who keeps making that noise?' said Donna
(c) Greg Long Photography
'My, that was a smashing ride,' said Roy. 'And Kendelle came 3rd! Let's celebrate with tea and lemonade and then go sit in an ice bath for 14 minutes. Hurrah!'
(c) Memoroys
The next day, the Famous Five went back to Stromlo and did a 114km road race in the morning followed by a 20km time trial in the afternoon.

'My goodness,' said Lisa. 'I feel like somebody has taken to my legs with a hammer and smashed them into a million pieces. But Jojo came 3rd and is looking jolly good for tomorrow. Let's all sit in another ice bath while Donna washes our smelly kit.'
'Jolly good idea!' agreed the Famous Five. 'You're a brick, Donna!'
That night Lisa had nightmares about her time trial.
(c) Greg Long photographyOn Sunday the Famous Five rode out to Stromlo again in the fog (ideal conditions for smugglers), and raced the 84km final stage road race.
'What a smashing weekend! said Roy. Let's all go home and eat lashings of steak sandwiches on the way.'
'Woof!' said Timmy.
Next: the Famous Five ride to Lorne!

The Town of Smyrna is teaming up with Wilmington-based Gable Music Ventures to throw a summer street party. Dubbed "Smyrna at Night," the event will showcase music and downtown Smyrna venues simultaneously.
Not content to watch other towns reap the benefits of summer music festivals, the Town of Smyrna is teaming up with Gable Music Ventures, a booking company based in Wilmington, for a single night of music in downtown Smyrna.
Despite not having an official lineup, the festival announcement came at 4 p.m., Tuesday, May 27, courtesy of the Gable Music Ventures Facebook page. The Town of Smyrna's Public Information Officer Dawn Thompson said that artist contracts are still being negotiated and that the final list should be ready for release Thursday night or Friday morning.
The list may not be finalized but several festival components are already in place. Fourteen local and regional acts will perform across seven stages set up at or near well-known downtown venues: Sheridan's Irish Pub, Odd Fellows, Painted Stave, Smyrna Opera House, Town Hall and 1 N. Main Street.
The festival will also be family-friendly, requiring no ticket purchases to attend.
"We want to wake up downtown, show off our venues and remind everyone how much there is to enjoy in downtown Smyrna," Thompson said when asked about the inspiration for "Smyrna at Night." "We have places like Sheridan's, which has been around for a while and new places like Painted Stave Distilling that we want to introduce more people to."
In addition to music, Thompson said festival organizers are also looking into walkable dining options like food trucks so people can grab a bite to eat while they pop in and out of venues.
"We want it to be like a street party and for it to have a laid-back, fun street-festival vibe," she said. "We're all very excited about it."
"Smyrna at Night" is scheduled for Thursday, June 26 between 5:30 and 10 p.m. The festival and entrance to all venues will be free. Additional purchases of food, drinks or other items will have separate charges.

Don't believe anyone who tells you differently: Solar energy can be used-right now, today-in place of other fuels. I know, because for more than a year and a half my family has been living in an owner-built, 1,000-square-foot solar greenhouse/home.
That's right, we live in a greenhouse . . . of sorts. Under one roof we have [1] a 170-square-foot vegetable garden, [2] 660 square feet of comfortable living space, and [3] a row of water-filled drums which store the heat generated by our huge solar collector-window (and which take up the remaining 170 square feet of our residence).
An unusual setup? We like to think so! Of course, the greenhouse isn't 100% energy self-sufficient—and it doesn't provide us with all the vegetables we eat—but it is nice inside, and we've managed to cut our home's heating bill by one-third to one-half of what it ordinarily would be.
Let me say that this is not the first such abode that we've lived in. Our first experiment in cohabitating with plants began three years ago when John Baldus and I built a greenhouse addition to a little 16' X 20' cottage. As you can see in Photo 1, this structure amounted to nothing more than a wooden frame covered on all sides with 4-mil (.004") polyethylene. We spent a total of $200 to complete the project.
Our initial tiny, add-on greenhouse came with a couple of features not usually designed into such units. For instance, we insulated the plot of earth where plants would be grown with four inches of styrofoam on all sides, and two inches on the bottom. Also, we rigged portable panels of insulation so that they could be used to cover the greenhouse at night and thereby reduce radiant cooling.
That first small "nursery cottage" was quite a big success. Not only did the solar greenhouse allow tomatoes to be grown throughout our Wisconsin winter, but the sunlight filtering through the polyethylene provided just about all the Btu's we needed to heat the structure . . . even with snow on the ground.
Design of a Solar Greenhouse
We constructed our present dwelling in the fall of 1974. This time, we designed everything from the ground up, and—as you can see in the accompanying photographs—the building's main noticeable feature is the 300-square-foot "collector panel" that runs along its south wall.
The large collector consists of twin sheets of 4-mil polyethylene stapled to opposite sides of wood struts . . . nothing an enterprising third-grader couldn't put together. (Yes, a single sheet of plastic would let in more sunlight. However, it would also let out a lot of heat . . . which is why we used the two thicknesses of poly.) The whole assembly juts out from the wall at a 60° angle from the horizontal, which means that here in Wild Rose, Wisconsin-at 44° north latitude-the panels face almost squarely into Ole Sol's radiance at high noon in January.
Inside the house, running parallel to the collector "window", is a 3' X 56' dirt-filled growing pit in which we raise vegetables year round. Like the rest of the house, this bed of earth is insulated—as with our previous greenhouse-with four inches of foam to a depth of 16 inches, and with two inches of foam underneath as well. (We decided not to use stone for heat storage, because foam retains warmth 24 times better.)
The building's heat storage system-the twenty-eight water-filled 55-gallon drums shown in Photo 5—is located between the vegetable plot and our living space. These barrels absorb some of the day's total influx of energy and help to moderate both daytime and nighttime temperatures within the house. In the evening-as the drums radiate warmth throughout our home—we keep those Btu's indoors by putting portable insulation panels over the outside of the collector (as we learned to do with our first greenhouse).
That, in essence, is the whole shebang in a nutshell.
Now, what kind of heating performance do we get? To give you just a single example: One wintry February day when the sun was shining-but the temperature outside was a goose-pimpling 26° F—the house warmed up inside to 88° F . . . a temperature difference of 62°, brought about entirely by solar heat. Believe me, standing in this house on a sunny day can be an exciting and dramatic experience!
At night, the readings in the building may fall down into the sixties, but usually no lower (thanks to six inches of fiberglass in the main walls).
Yes, on certain nights and cloudy days, we do have to heat the place with wood. Whenever the sun is out, though, the house will more than likely stay warm all day and right through the following night. In the summer, in fact, our "greenhome" gets so outright torrid so often, we have to replace some of the plastic on the collector with mosquito netting.
Fuel Savings
I've tried to calculate our dwelling's total heat gain for the months of January, February, and March in order to get an idea of what our savings are, measured in fuels of various kinds. Using the solar data given for Madison, Wisconsin in the Climatic Atlas of the United States (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), and allowing for a 5% heat exchange loss due to the slightly translucent nature of my polyethylene "window", I arrived at a gross energy accumulation of close to 21.5 million Btu's for the three winter months. This is roughly the equivalent of:
[1] Two to four cords of wood, burned in a 50%-efficient heater, or
[2] 192 gallons of No. 1 fuel oil, burned in an 80%efficient heater, or
[3] 253 gallons of L.P. (liquid petroleum) gas, combusted with 85% efficiency, or
[4] 23,300 cubic feet of natural gas, combusted with 90% efficiency, or
[5] 6,300 kilowatt-hours of electricity!
In cold, hard cash, our savings would be equal to: $69 for fuel oil, at 36¢ per gallon . . . $76 for LP gas, at 3U per gallon . . . $140 in the case of natural gas, at 0.64 per cubic foot . . . or a whopping $202 for electricity, based on 3.2¢ per kilowatt-hour.
Along with the savings in heating fuel, of course, we also realize an economy in the kitchen, thanks to a year-round vegetable crop. And, in addition to providing food, our plants supply a welcome bit of indoor color during snowy weather . . . while increasing the moisture content of the air (making an expensive humidifier unnecessary).
In case you're wondering—and I don't blame you—our present greenhouse cost $6,000 to build (materials and labor). The land it sits on is worth $3,000 . . . we draw our water from a $2,000 well and pump . . . and our septic system cost another $2,000. So, as you can see, the all-up cost of our little venture comes to $13,000.
Was it worth it? Well, at the very least I think our project is significant, because—like the experiments of Steve Baer and Day Chahroudi-it demonstrates that there are things people can do NOW to lessen their dependence on oil conglomerates, sheiks, and so-called "energy policies".
The answers to our energy problems are blowin' in the wind and burnin' in the sky. All we have to do, I'm convinced, is "bring 'em on home".

Fernandez breaks own mark, K's 14 in Miami rout
MIAMI -- Jose Fernandez is on more than just a mission. The Marlins rookie continues to make a statement.
On Friday night, did he ever.View Full Game Coverage
MIAMI -- Jose Fernandez is on more than just a mission. The Marlins rookie continues to make a statement.
On Friday night, did he ever.View Full Game Coverage
Two days after celebrating his 21st birthday, Fernandez again made it crystal clear that he is here to stay by turning in a record-setting performance.
Fernandez established a franchise rookie record with 14 strikeouts, and he chipped in with an RBI while completely stealing the show in the Marlins' 10-0 victory over the Indians in front of 17,731 at Marlins Park.
In eight innings, Fernandez scattered three hits and issued one walk, ironically to Indians right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez.
The stellar performance snapped the Indians' eight-game winning streak, and it ran Miami's win streak to three. The Marlins also won back-to-back games by a shutout.
"He was on a mission today, and he's been ready to pitch and wanting to pitch since his last start," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "I think he went out there today against a great lineup and really just dominated. His command was phenomenal. You could tell from the first inning that he had it. He just went out there and executed his pitches. I told him, 'Hey, you might have finished that game if you didn't walk the pitcher.'"
Coupled with his 13 strikeouts on Sunday in a win over the Pirates, Fernandez became the first pitcher with at least 13 strikeouts in successive games since Randy Johnson in 2004. The last time a rookie matched the feat was Kerry Wood in 1998. And according to ESPN Stats Info, Fernandez is the fourth-youngest pitcher with back-to-back games of 13 strikeouts or more since 1900.
"He's not afraid to be great," said Marlins first baseman Logan Morrison, who had four hits and drove in four runs. "He loves the stage and really wants to be great. I know that's weird. What do you mean afraid to be great? He's a bulldog, dude, and I'm glad he's on my team."
An All-Star on a 43-65 Marlins squad, Fernandez improved to 8-5 with a 2.54 ERA. He continues to build a case to receive serious National League Rookie of the Year consideration. However, his chances might be diminished because he is on an innings limit of around 170. Now at 127 2/3 innings, he could be done after five more starts, or around Sept. 1.
Since giving up seven runs (four earned) in 3 1/3 innings against the Rays on May 27, Fernandez has simply dominated. In his last 11 starts, the Marlins' first-round Draft pick in 2010 is 6-2 with a 1.67 ERA and 86 strikeouts in 75 1/3 innings.
Miami is 9-2 in those games.
Immensely confident, but incredibly humbled, Fernandez takes nothing for granted. Five years ago he defected from his home in Cuba, and he has been driven to pursue excellence since he settled in Tampa, Fla., before joining the Marlins.
"Today, I'm going to enjoy," Fernandez said. "Tomorrow, I'm going to get back to work. Up here, the game will get you real quick. I don't want it to get me."
Although he is the youngest player on the team, Fernandez quickly is becoming a leader and one of the faces of the franchise.
He's so eager to get on the mound, that during the series with the Mets earlier in the week, he wanted to pitch after Miami lost the first two of four to New York.
Redmond chuckled at Fernandez's desire to take the mound three days after striking out 13 Pirates in eight innings.
"I told him, 'You have to wait your turn,'" Redmond said.
Like the rest of the Marlins, who endured a painful 14-41 start in April and May, Fernandez is enjoying the success of the past two months.
"I like to compete, like everybody in here," Fernandez said. "Nobody likes losing. This team is going to bring a lot of surprises. This year, we started horrible, like everybody knows. It's not a secret. But next year, there are a lot of people out there that I'm saying, 'Be careful.'"
Not only were the 14 strikeouts a personal high, they also are the most by any National League pitcher this season and are tied for the second most in the Majors.
The 14 strikeouts are the most by a rookie since Washington's Stephen Strasburg fanned as many on June 8, 2010, against the Pirates.
Fernandez also is the first starter since Zack Greinke (Aug. 25, 2009) to strike out 14 against the Indians.
"He's a pretty young kid as far as starts in the Major Leagues," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "We saw the stuff, and he put it together tonight for eight innings. Unfortunately for us, that's as good a start as I think we've seen all year. He had everything."
Fernandez was throwing 97 mph in the seventh and eighth innings. He reaches back and hits 98 mph on occasion, and then repeatedly flips over curveballs and sliders.
"Thankfully, he's in the National League," Francona added.
For Fernandez, his list of achievements keeps piling up. Coupled with the 13 strikeouts on Sunday, Fernandez has 27 strikeouts over a two-start span. That's a Marlins record, surpassing 23 set by Ricky Nolasco in 2009.
Fernandez has now reached 10 or more strikeouts in four starts, becoming the first NL rookie since Cole Hamels in 2006 to accomplish the feat.
From the first batter, Fernandez set the tone, striking out Michael Bourn. Nick Swisher slapped a single to right field, and that was Cleveland's only hit until Asdrubal Cabrera doubled with one out in the seventh inning. Cabrera's hit snapped a string of 12 straight batters retired by the rookie.
After Swisher's single in the first inning, he realized that the Indians were in for a rough night.
"Swisher got on, and he's like, 'Man, this guy throws hard,'" Morrison said of his conversation with the Indians right fielder at first base. "Yeah, you haven't seen the slider yet, so watch out.' He was like, 'Yeah, I watched his last start, and I was thinking I had to get one early, because I don't know if I'll get one late.'"
Cleveland starters hadn't given up as many as five runs since July 6. But Miami put that number on Jimenez, who exited after four innings.
Three of the five runs Jimenez yielded were unearned, but the right-hander labored, allowing nine hits and throwing 107 pitches.
The Marlins entered the night not having scored more than three runs in three straight games, and they won two of them.
Miami broke it open with five runs in the eighth inning. Morrison had a two-run triple, while Christian Yelich, Adeiny Hechavarria and Jake Marisnick each collected their third hit of the night.
"I love to get a chance every five days and compete," Fernandez said. "I love to play for the team, play for the fans. The fans have just been incredible. That, to me, it helps. Whoever tells you it doesn't help, it helps."

Probably because you are not a vet, so you don't get to determine what is real or not, everything is hearsay. I have 5 or 10 raw feeding clients, and I've seen 2 illnesses related to raw diets.
I've met half a dozen pets affected by the melamine recall, but I have hundreds (thousands?) of clients eating kibble. Luckily the blue buffalo vitamin D recall and the recent salmonella recall did not affect our area.
You also probably hear people who SAY their pet was poisoned, but they weren't. Any dog who got a stomach upset during the melamine recall was "poisoned" according to their owners, but melamine caused renal failure. Granted, the melamine recall was horrific and did kill hundreds of animals, but many more people made claims than were actually affected.
Actually untill recently I worked in vet offices. For over 6 years. So not all of us can be vets, but I was the one filling rx's, doing the home care instructions etc.....and the pets that were affected by recalls were CLIENTS OF THE CLINICS I WORKED IN!!!
Give me a break

In this Associated Press article, journalist Jim Adams reports on struggles within the United States Congress to draft legislation that would limit the authority of the President to send United States forces into battle for longer than a few months. Believing that President Nixon would refuse to sign the bill into law with a Presidential veto, Adams reports on the Congress' attempts to write a bill that would gain the number of Congressional votes necessary to override a Presidential veto. By 1973, when this article was written, much of the United States was weary of the Vietnam War. Many citizens and their elected representatives in Congress had become concerned by the President's nearly unlimited authority to send United States troops into battle and to engage the country in war. With the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution of 1964, the House of Representatives and Senate had, by what was close to a unanimous vote, granted President Johnson broad powers to conduct the Vietnam War. This article illustrates that nearly a decade later, in 1973, the Congress is struggling to take back some of the war powers that it had so freely granted to the President nine years earlier.
