Bipolar depression
It's estimated that some 10% of people with a major depressive episode have underlying bipolar disorder - that is they'll go on to have a manic or hypomanic episode (if they haven't had one already) - and if the efficacy of antidepressants in straight major depression is controversial then bipolar depression is a minefield.
It is certainly considered that antidepressant usage alone gives a big risk of provoking a swing from a depressive to a manic episode so they would usually be used alongside a 'mood stabiliser' like lithium or an anticonvulsant, and even then there is considerable disagreement as to how much they help.
Lamotrigine in acute bipolar depression
Something that has got a lot of attention in recent years is the anticonvulsant lamotrigine. There is good evidence for the efficacy of lamotrigine in preventing further depressive episodes in people with bipolar disorder. But recently there has been much interest in its use for treating an acute episode of depression in bipolar disorder, and this is despite the fact that it takes a considerable time to titrate up the dose to therapeutic levels (if you go by the BNF it takes 5 weeks to get to the usual dose of 200mg).
A major paper influencing people's thinking came out of Oxford by Geddes et al in 2009. This was a meta-analysis of trials of lamotrigine in acute bipolar depressive episodes and had a considerable impact. The Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) guidelines now recommend lamotrigine as a first-line treatment for acute bipolar depression largely on the strength of this analysis.
What they did was, apparently, contact GSK (who make lamotrigine as 'Lamictal') and get hold of all the individual patient level data from all five trials performed by the drug company and used it to perform a meta-analysis. They also identified two other studies not by GSK but didn't combine them because they didn't have any individual subject data and the trials were a crossover trial (which is difficult to correctly combine in a meta-analysis) and the other used lamotrigine as add-on to lithium therapy. They excluded data from one of the trials which had used a 50mg dose as this is generally considered subtherapeutic.
I'll concentrate on their findings using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD, 17-item version) which is very widely used in antidepressant trials (I've mentioned it before) which has a maximum of 54 points and a score greater than 18 is usually needed to be recruited into a trial as 'moderately' depressed. Again, I'll focus on two measures of outcome, 'response rate' (the proportion of patients in each arm who achieve a 50% or more reduction in their initial HRSD score) and mean difference in the final HRSD score.
So a mean improvement of 1.0 points on the HRSD is not exactly impressive - certainly it wouldn't be very good if that was a uniform single point improvement across every patient. But potentially it could represent a really big, 'clinically significant' improvement for a subset of patients - and we'd be interested in a drug that could do that.
So this is why we look at 'response rates' - what proportion of patients got 'clinically significantly' better, or 'remission rates', the proportion who score sufficiently low to count as being better. Commonly the former is defined as a 50% reduction in the score on the HRSD (or other symptom scale). We can see below (Figure 1) that significantly more patients responded in the lamotrigine group than the placebo group with a risk ratio of 1.27 (95% CI: 1.09-1.47), that is 27% more patients in the lamotrigine group showed an improvement in HRSD of 50% or more - that implies 11 patients need to be treated for one additional 'response'.
|Figure 1. Figure from Geddes et al - Meta-analysis of HRSD 50% response rates using individual patient data from GSK trials
The response rates in this study are around 35% of patients in the placebo arm and 45% of those taking lamotrigine - so an increase of 10 percentage points due to lamotrigine. If we consider that, for the average patient, 50% improvement implies a minimum change of around 12 points on the HRSD the actual mean improvement of 1.0 points (and the standard deviation) seems a little small (in a back of the envelope calculation you could say that you would expect an average of 1.2 point improvement - thats 10% getting 12 points averaged over all the group). So a bit of a mixed bag I'd say.
Traditional meta-analysis versus individual patient data
A question that occurs to me is what extra information we gain from having the individual patient data? It is pretty rare to get hold of individual patient data when doing a meta-analysis, usually all we have is the overall results for each trial. Sometimes this doesn't make much difference, comparing the individual level meta-analysis by Fournier et al of antidepressants with Kirsch et al's meta-analysis did not reveal any major differences (and these studies looked at fairly different sets of antidepressants).
I had a quick go at performing a study level meta-analysis of the GSK lamotrigine data** and found that the response rate had a relative risk of 1.22 (1.06-1.41) (Figure 2 below) which is pretty similar to the individual level data 1.27 risk ratio.
|Figure 2. Meta-analysis of HRSD 50% response rates from GSK per trial data
|Figure 3. Meta-analysis of mean difference in HRSD scores from GSK per trial data
Antidepressant response and the severity of depression
Like many previous studies of antidepressants Geddes et al also find that there is an interaction between the size of the antidepressant effect of lamotrigine and how severely depressed the patients in the study were at baseline. They found a significant interaction on their ANCOVA analysis between baseline HRSD severity and final HRSD score with a regression coefficient of .30 (p=.04). They go on to comment that:
"Thus, the interaction by severity was because of a higher response rate in the moderately ill placebo-treated group, rather than, for example, a higher response rate in the severely ill lamotrigine-treated group."This statement is very redolent of Kirsch et al's claim:
"The relationship between initial severity and antidepressant efficacy is attributable to decreased responsiveness to placebo among very severely depressed patients, rather than to increased responsiveness to medication."Kirsch et al got a lot of stick for saying this, not least from yours truly, so I was interested in what a set of rather more mainstream figures in the psychiatric world (two Oxford academic psychiatrists and a psychiatrist from the GSK advisory board) were trying to say, and how this relates the Kirsch's work. Maybe I was being unfair to Kirsch?
Kirsch et al argued that the apparent increase in antidepressant efficacy with increasing baseline severity in trials was due to decreasing placebo response in more severe trials (see Figure 4 below). They further argued that this increasing efficacy was therefore only 'apparent' because the response to antidepressant was the same. I've discussed before how, on many levels, it is meaningless to claim that this effect is only 'apparent'.
|Figure 4. Figure from Kirsch et al - Regression of baseline severity against standardised mean difference of HRSD score improvement for antidepressant and placebo groups using per trial data
|Figure 5. Regression of baseline severity against HRSD score improvement for antidepressant and placebo groups using per trial data from Kirsch et al
|Figure 6. Figure from Fournier et al - Regression of baseline severity against HRSD score improvement for antidepressant and placebo groups using individual patient data
So what did Geddes et al find? Well, unlike Kirsch et al and Fournier et al they primarily looked at response rates rather than mean change in HRSD, obviously you can't have an individual patient's response rate (an individual either does, or does not respond) so they divided the subjects into two groups, those with a baseline severity below 24 points, and those above. They found that only those in the 'severe' severity (>24 point) group had a statistically significant response rate greater than placebo with 46% of those on lamotrigine responding compared to 30% on placebo. In the 'moderate' (<= 24 point) group response rates were 48% for lamotrigine and 45% for placebo. Geddes and others have argued that this increased placebo response at moderate severity is due to something like inflation of baseline severity at trial recruitment (that is doctors subconsciously inflate severity for those around the lower threshold for trial recruitment and they then regress to the 'real' lower score they would have had anyway when assessed blindly as part of the trial while this doesn't happen for the more severe patients).***
Now I've outlined some of my reservations about 50% reduction in HRSD score as a measure of 'response rate' and I don't think that these numbers necessarily show what Geddes et al think it does. Let's consider a simple model of how antidepressants might work, let's say they can be modelled simply by saying that an antidepressant reduces the baseline HRSD score by X HRSD points which is the simple sum of the placebo effect (P) and a 'true' antidepressant effect (A):
Based on this model, as discussed above, we can see how patients in the 'moderate' severity group could be more likely to respond even if X is the same for both severity groups. This is because a lower baseline severity means less HRSD points need to be lost to reach a 50% reduction. If we take this observation it is conceivable that the lower placebo response in the 'severe' group could be, at least partly, due to pure artefact. Given that those treated with lamotrigine in the 'severe' group had a larger response rate than those on placebo you might then go on to posit that maybe P is larger for the more severely depressed patients.
The way we ideally would want to answer this question would be to look at the mean HRSD scores as we did above for the data from Kirsch et al and Fournier et al. The response rate figures alone would still be completely consistent with a relationship like that shown in Figure 5 above and suggest that the claim that "the interaction by severity was because of a higher response rate in the moderately ill placebo-treated group" is false.
Unfortunately Geddes et al don't show the mean HRSD data by baseline severity nor do they report the correlations between mean HRSD score and baseline severity for the lamotrigine and placebo groups separately, either of which might help to answer this question. This is a bit odd as this is one of the main areas where the individual patient data would prove very useful and answer questions that the trial only data cannot. So we'll never know whether they do or don't show that placebo responses are constant, decreased, or increased with greater severity of depression. I've reproduced the data presenting each trial below (Figures 7 & 8) but these can't really answer this question, for that we need the within trial data.
|Figure 7. Simple regression of mean baseline severity against 50% response rates from GSK per trial data split by lamotrigine (blue) and placebo (red)
|Figure 8. Simple regression of mean baseline severity against mean change in HRSD score from GSK per trial data split by lamotrigine (blue) and placebo (red)
So, what should we conclude? Well a few things:
- Lamotrigine is not very effective for acute bipolar depression
- Individual patient data in these trials doesn't tell us much more than a classical meta-analysis
- The effect of lamotrigine, like other antidepressants in major depression, increases with greater baseline severity of depression, but never reaches the NICE 'clinical significance' criteria
- It is unclear exactly why antidepressant efficacy increases in this way but it is far from established that it is due to "higher response rate in the moderately ill placebo-treated [patients], rather than, for example, a higher response rate in the severely ill lamotrigine-treated [patients]"
So what next?
So what medication should be used for acute treatment of bipolar depression? Well I think the data from quetiapine is pretty promising and certainly a lot more convincing and impressive than for lamotrigine monotherapy. Perhaps lamotrigine will be synergistic when added to quetiapine and the first author, John Geddes, is heading up the CEQUEL trial looking at just this question.
* I think a better measure might be a fixed improvement in HRSD score, call it a 'clinically significant response', this would avoid the assumption that antidepressants somehow cause an X% reduction in HRSD score rather than say improving Y number of symptoms, and thus the problem I've mentioned above about how mildly depressed patients need less improvement to 'respond' than more severely depressed.
** I got the response rate data from the Geddes et al paper and the HRSD mean difference data from the GSK trials register (since it wasn't presented in the paper). I used mean change scores rather than final HRSD scores (although this shouldn't make much difference), I had to estimate standard deviations for trial SCA40910 and the means for trial SCA30924 were already adjusted for baseline severity. Data are for fixed effect models but random effects makes minimal difference to the results.
*** Interestingly this explanation would only be tenable if trials of greater severity showed the same within-trial effect as trials of lower severity, since this effect should take place at the recruitment threshold irrespective of what that threshold is. So therefore within a trial the less severe subjects around the recruitment threshold should show a greater placebo response whereas there would not necessarily be any relationship between average baseline severity and average response between trials. This means that my regression data from Figure 5 above doesn't necessarily argue against this model - what we need to know is whether this relationship holds within the trials, something that even the individual subject data from Figure 6 doesn't rule out because we'd ideally have data separately plotted for each trial since the recruitment thresholds for each trial may have differed.

The Baltimore Sesquicentennial was celebrated October 11-19, 1880, marking the 150th anniversary of the city's founding in 1730. With the leadership of Mayor Ferdinand C. Latrobe, the city paused to take stock of its growth with advancements in shipping and transportation, and its position relative to other cities in the region and nation, and to appreciate founders like Carroll, Howard, Patterson, Oliver, Stephenson, and Purviance, and recent luminaries like McDonogh, Peabody, and Hopkins.
The festivities included oration, tableaux, meetings, and music; five days of parades of groups including African American social organizations, masons, school children, military organizations, fire and police departments, letter carriers, and telegraph messengers; concluding with illumination of the city and pyrotechnic displays. Public schools were in recess for the entire week of October 11-15.
Note: Information on the Sesquicentennial was compiled from Pamphlets 4122 and 5186 in the Maryland Historical Society Library.

ROSCOE — The village will hold a Christmas parade and tree lighting event Saturday.
Festivities begin at 4 p.m. with make-an-ornament at Roscoe Methodist Church on Main Street. The parade, which will feature at least 18 float entries and dozens of participants, starts at 5 p.m. with the tree lighting right after.
"This is a chance for neighbors, friends and the community to come together and share in the spirit of the season," President Dave Krienke said.
After the outdoor events are completed, attendees can go inside village hall where they can enjoy free games for all ages, hot dogs, hot chocolate, refreshments, cookies and pictures with Santa. Nearly all of the items and food are being donated by area businesses, organizations and individuals, Krienke said.
Events take place along Main Street with the parade kicking off on Williams Drive. Participants will walk north more than a half mile to village hall and onto the corner of Bridge and Main streets where the decorated trees are located. Paradegoers should plan to line up along either side of Main Street from Bridge Street to Williams Drive.
Event organizers, including the village, Roscoe Area Chamber of Commerce and Harlem Roscoe Fire Department, are also asking for donations of non-perishable food items as part of the event. They can be dropped off at village hall or the fire department the night of the event and they will be distributed to food pantries and needy families in the Roscoe and surrounding area before Christmas.
Anyone wanting to donate and decorate a tree can still do so. You provide the decorations and lights and the village provides the tree and electricity which will keep your tree lighted throughout the holiday season. Cost is $50 per tree and participants may put a sign in front of their tree advertising their business or organization.
Parade entries are also still being accepted.
For more information on the events, parade entries or Christmas tree lighting, contact chamber President Mickey Heinzeroth at 815-623-9065, Dave Krienke 815-509-8984 or Nicole at 815-623-2829.

What would happen if a white child with a couple of odd talents -- one prophetic and one malodorous -- was found and raised by an appreciative, yet hapless African tribe? South African director Gray Hofmeyr attempts to find out in his 2002 family-oriented comedy entitled Mr. Bones.
Shortly after surviving a plane accident, a mysterious youngster is discovered by the Kuvuki tribe just as the babe is fending off a hungry lion with explosive flatulence.
This deed duly noted, the tribesmen adopt the child as one of their own and sometime later discover the boy also has great skill in divining the future from reading bones -- something the tribe considers a greatly respected skill.
Henceforth, the boy is dubbed Bones (as an adult, played by Leon Schuster) and some years later is ordered by the tribal king Tsonga to seek a previously unknown heir Bones predicted to exist.
Bones sets out to locate the heir, and decides that touring golf pro Vince Lee (David Ramsey) is the man, much to the consternation and protestations of Lee's agent, as well as a gambler with a lot of money at stake in Vince's victorious appearance at a local tournament.
Mr. Bones was selected for inclusion into the African Horizons program at the 2002 Montreal World Film Festival.

House Increases Taxes On Venture Capital At A Time When More Investment In Innovation Is Needed
from the bad-thinking dept
While I don't think this change will be as devastating as some have made it out to be, it could chill some aspects of investment. And, while I also don't believe that venture capital is the only way to build an innovative business these days, I do think it has an important place in the ecosystem, and is quite helpful for many companies. Taking away some of the incentives for venture investments, right at a time when we need greater innovation seems like a fundamentally short-sighted move. I understand the argument on the other side, that the partners are investing other people's money, and thus it's not "their" investment from which to earn capital gains, but to some extent that's misleading. The setup of most venture funds with carried interest (i.e., the profit share for venture partners) is to effectively trade their time and effort in the investment for a part of the investment. So it might not be their cash, but they do invest in other ways, and for that they get a share of the profits.
There are certainly lots of problems with our financial system today, and many questions about the private equity space. But lumping in venture capitalists who do long-term, high risk investments in private companies to help them grow, with hedge funds that do short-term, highly speculative gambling-type investments without much focus on the underlying business or prospects, is a dangerous move. There are problems with the venture capital model, but for the most part it works quite well in funding all sorts of innovative companies. Putting this kind of speed bump into the market won't stop venture capital investments, but it could have some pretty serious consequences, especially in terms of the type of companies VCs are willing to invest in. The Senate still needs to vote on this issue, and hopefully they recognize that this is not the time to punish venture capitalists.

OK so I was laying in bed last night and was thinking, yeah thats my problem, anyway.......its also possible that perhaps the blonds are eliminated in EP3 and this is another team making light of it as they leave the pitstop in La Paz "I Wonder If They Like Blondes in New Zealand?".
OK, lets speculate about the order of the tasks. Given the Cholita wrestling venue (El Alto) is right next to the airport, I'd guess roadblock comes before detour. That would mean pitstop is somewhere in central La Paz. Or maybe not....
Q. This season's show includes stops in three new countries: Bolivia, Cambodia and Kazakhstan, the former Soviet republic best known as Borat's fictional homeland. Impressions?A. La Paz, Bolivia, is the most extraordinary city. We fly in (to one of the world's highest airports at 13,000 feet) and climb from there up to this place where the teams have to perform with cholitas, or female wrestlers. USA Today
Puddin, I think you are right about the u-turn clue because I don't see C/K u-turning Nick/Starr because we know Nick and Starr aren't eliminated in this leg... Unless Nick/Star do get u-turned but still are so far ahead that they avoid being eliminated?

British physicist David Tyler on today's kinder, gentler Neanderthal
Read more here. If you ask me, the conveniently dead Neanderthal supports whatever political correctness is going down.
Neanderthal then and now. Says Tyler:
The archetypal image of Neanderthals has been one that reinforced the Darwinian story of human evolution. A Washington Post story puts it like this: "Early study of Neanderthals described them as very hairy, brutish, unable to talk or walk like more-modern humans." Although things have changed slowly, media presentations have continued to create an impression that does not differ much from this description. However, the evidence for their humanity has accumulated rather rapidly in recent years, and the past month has seen two significant additions to the literature. A Wired Science report introduces one of these studies like this:
"For decades, Neanderthal was cultural shorthand for primitive. Our closest non-living relatives were caricatured as lumbering, slope-browed simpletons unable to keep pace with nimble, quick-witted Homo sapiens. However, anthropologists have found evidence in recent years suggesting considerable Neanderthal sophistication, and not only in tool-making and hunting, but in their ability to feel [i.e. to show compassion]."
The first paper is concerned with the role of emotions in social relationships and re-appraises the archaeological record of Neanderthals and other Palaeolithic peoples. A summary is provided by Penny Spikins in an interview with Wired.
"We look in the archaeological record for evidence of individuals who were sick, and not able to care for themselves. We see that in early Homo, and by the time we get to Neanderthals, that kind of record becomes much more extensive. Take the "Old Man of Shanidar". He had had degenerative deformities in the base of his legs, would have had difficulty walking, and had a crushing injury to his cranium, so he was probably blind in his left eye. The bones show those injuries occurred when he was adolescent, and he lived to 40. He was probably looked after for 25 to 30 years, which implies that it wasn't just one person looking after him, but several. Most of our Neanderthal skeletons show some evidence of having been looked after for their injuries. And in the age of Neanderthals, you also start to see evidence of deliberate burials and funerary rites. That means a shared feeling."
In reality, you'd find Neanderthals who cared and ones who didn't, Neanderthals who talked and ones who just grunted and pointed, Neanderthals who made useful tools and ones who snitched them from sleeping neighbours. If they weren't like that, they weren't human after all. Rigid behaviour belongs to ant colonies, not human ones.

F. Scott McCown, its executive director, had this to say last week when State Comptroller Susan Combs released her Biennial Revenue Estimate.
"Texas lawmakers heard they will have $101.4 billion in General Revenue to work with when writing the 2014-15 state budget. However, $5 billion is needed for the Medicaid IOU, leaving $96.4 billion to barely continue the current barebones budget and leave in place the devastating 2011 cuts to education, health care and other areas of critical need. In addition, the state's Rainy Day Fund will have $11.8 billion available to support state services and investments by the end of 2014-15.
"With available revenue and the historically high Rainy Day Fund balance, which together total $108.2 billion, Texas lawmakers have the opportunity to return to the level of services provided five years ago—-before the financial crisis slashed state revenue. If we are willing to use the Rainy Day Fund, we could fund the rapid population growth and inflation while also undoing the devastating 2011 cuts that have left so many Texas families struggling.
"Today's revenue estimate announcement officially begins this session's budget writing process. Now, it's up to state lawmakers to create a budget that reflects our state's needs and priorities.
"Legislators should use the money available now to invest in the education and health care systems that will help ensure our state's future prosperity."
Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday in an address to the Texas Public Policy Foundation seemed to slam shut the door of availability McCown wanted to see opened.
"Our job now is to remind people that this good news does not mean we'll be free to spend any amount on anything we want.
"We have to make sure everyone understands that if we stray from the path we've crafted for ourselves, other states like Florida and Louisiana are eager to step up and take their shot at the nation's job-creation crown.
"When I spoke to the Legislature on Tuesday, I made it clear that we have to continue keeping our spending under control.
"I also told them that the best thing we can do for our economy, for employers, employees, and our state, is to provide some tax relief.
"The last two years tell us that people do the most good when they keep more of their own money, so they can start new businesses, invest in new equipment, hire new employees, and blaze new trails.
"Time and again, we've seen that the best use of the people's money is to give it back to them in some form or fashion.
"I think that's an important discussion to have.
"In fact, I'd like to advance the discussion beyond the Dome, and I invite everyone to go to my website, Texas.gov, and share with us your own thoughts on what's the best way to provide tax relief to Texas."
It's easy to predict how this budget battle will come out. Gov. Perry may not see eye to eye with his fellow Republicans who rule the Texas Legislature on every issue, but anyone hoping to see revenue restored to, say, the public schools during this session is probably going to be disappointed.
On the other hand, if you believe Gov. Perry et al. are going to deliver "tax relief," it is safe to predict you also will be disappointed. No one seems to know where the last "property tax cut" Gov. Perry claims to have delivered to Texas taxpayers went.
Of course, there is no state property tax to begin with. He was promising cuts from entities over which he has no control. But it made for a good speech.

Franklin Hospital is turning 50 this year, and that means it's time to celebrate.
On Jan. 17, a group of hospital leaders and employees charged with planning the 50th anniversary celebration met for the first time. Their discussions centered on a pair of events that are in the works for later this year, including a gala celebration and an employee recognition picnic.
The main event would be a gala in October, and committee members are exploring dates, venues and even possible themes. The event would serve as both a fundraiser for the hospital and a celebration of its 50 years of service to the community. Franklin Hospital is the primary health care facility for Valley Stream, Franklin Square, Malverne and other surrounding towns.
The gala would raise money through ticket sales, raffles and journal ads. The honorees would include Gary Walter, a longtime hospital board member, and his wife, Marlene. A physician would also be honored, a selection that would likely come from the hospital's doctors. Catherine Hottendorf, the facility's executive director, said that it is important to recognize a doctor because the hospital was founded five decades ago by a group of physicians.
The committee is also looking to plan a picnic for employees and their families this summer, and is considering Valley Stream State Park, among other facilities. Ideas include a barbecue, with a variety of games and races. Committee members also suggested having a dunk tank, with employees given a chance to dunk prominent leaders from the hospital and the North Shore-LIJ health system.
"I think that's a good idea to have recognition for the employees," said committee member Vincent Cunningham, a North Shore-LIJ community relations coordinator.
The committee members said that a picnic would be an opportunity to build camaraderie within the hospital's staff, and give those who can't attend the gala a chance to take part in the anniversary celebration.
Cunningham also suggested having a banner hung on the hospital, on Franklin Avenue in North Valley Stream, proclaiming the anniversary.
Franklin General Hospital opened on April 1, 1963, with 146 beds. It grew steadily over the next few decades, adding nearly 160 more beds, an emergency department, hospice and psychiatric units and a parking garage, and changed names twice. The adjoining Orzac Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation, a 120-bed facility named for one of the hospital's founders, Dr. Edward Orzac, opened in January 1989.
In 1995, Franklin joined the North Shore-LIJ health system, which officially took over ownership of the hospital in 2002.
Other ideas to mark the 50th anniversary include a car raffle and expanded community outreach programs. Hottendorf, who chairs the anniversary committee, gave her members a simple charge for the anniversary year: "Let's make it golden."
The 50th anniversary, she said, can be a great opportunity for the hospital to reach out to the community and highlight its services. She added that community awareness should remain a focus for the year, even as the committee plans celebratory events.
"I think 50 is so monumental because we've come so far and we're going to go even farther," Hottendorf said. "We want to be here for another 50 years."

Kittie Original Lineup Reunion Would Only Be for a Few Shows
Last week, Kittie posed a bit of a philosophical question to fans via their social media networks. The ladies asked if their supporters would be interested in seeing the band play its debut, 1999's 'Spit,' which was easily their most commercially successful album to date, with the original lineup. Seems like a no brainer, right?
Bassist Tanya Candler and guitarist Fallon Bowman left the fold long ago. Sisters Morgan and Mercedes Lander have remained the sole constants, fronting the band and manning the kit, respectively, while managing a revolving door membership. While an influx of new members certainly made things exciting and prevented the lineup from ever feeling like it was going through the motions, the idea of an OG reunion is certainly an exciting prospect, especially for longtime fans of the all-girl act. It sparked a wave of web chatter, which in turn prompted the band to clarify that if a reunion happened, it would only be for a handful of shows and nothing more.
Below is the clarification on a possible original lineup reunion, issued by Kittie on their Facebook page.
Looking through some of the comments re: the og line-up reunion, I feel like it should be mentioned that if it were to happen, it wouldn't be a permanent thing, or even a tour for that matter. Just a few select dates, and Kittie will still remain the Kittie we are now.
So the recently-returned Trish Doan (not pictured) and Tara McLeod, who play bass and guitar, respectively, will not be uninstalled from their gigs even if metal's femme fatales and their former members stroll down memory lane. We'd definitely want to catch the gig if the Sisters Lander can make it work with Candler and Bowman. The fact that it would be for just a few shows makes it that much more special, too.

Boehner Offers Millionaire Tax Hike
House Speaker John Boehner has proposed raising top rates for earners making more than $1 million, a person familiar with the negotiations says.
President Barack Obama, who wants higher top rates for households earning more than $250,000, has not accepted the offer, this person says.
The proposal, however, indicates new progress in talks that had appeared stalled. The person would only discuss the plan on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations.
Boehner is still seeking more spending cuts than Obama has proposed, particularly in mandatory health care spending. Boehner has asked for a long-term increase in eligibility age for Medicare and for lower costs-of-living adjustments for Medicare.
Boehner's tax proposal was first reported by Politico.
A Boehner aide would not comment on the report.

Soccer offside rule changed to reduce confusion
Soccer's rule-making body sought Saturday to clarify the sport's
offside definition in a bid to reduce widespread uncertainty for
referees, players and fans.
In a change to take effect July 1, the International Football
Association Board has cleared up when exactly attackers are
influencing play.
The change states that an attacker should be considered offside
when "gaining an advantage by being in that position" in
situations that will now include receiving the ball from a rebound
or deflection from the goal frame or a player in the defending team
attempting a tackle, block or save.
IFAB, which includes officials from FIFA and the four British
federations, also attempted to safeguard its future by opening up
its decision-making process.
With the organization of world soccer undergoing an overhaul
under the wake of a series of corruption scandals, there were calls
for the British to cede its influence on IFAB, which has been
meeting since 1886.
But at the annual IFAB meeting in Edinburgh, FIFA President Sepp
Blatter said "this institution will go on."
"I am sure it will not be a victim of the reform of FIFA,"
Blatter added.
FIFA is looking to take greater control of IFAB by establishing
a new unit to run the body while stressing that the "composition
will remain unchanged."
The IFAB agreed to consult more by establishing a technical
panel including refereeing experts and a soccer panel with about 20
former players and coaches as well as current coaches.
"The IFAB has agreed that greater levels of consultation are
required to provide greater transparency and opportunities for
other associations and stakeholders to contribute with ideas and
initiatives to benefit the game," Scottish Football Association
chief executive Stewart Regan said. "This will need to be approved
by FIFA Congress in May."
IFAB meetings previously had been divided by the issue of
goal-line technology, which was settled in the last year after FIFA
President Sepp Blatter ended his opposition to high-tech aids being
given to referees.
FIFA announced Friday that a fourth system had been licensed.
GoalControl-4D, which uses seven high-speed cameras aimed at each
goalmouth, joins another camera-based system, Hawk-Eye, and two
other projects – GoalRef and Cairos – which use magnetic field
technology to judge if the ball crossed the line.
FIFA has yet to disclose the price of the technology, but FIFA
General Secretary Jerome Valcke said the cheapest costs around
$100,000 to install in a stadium and maintain.
Valcke spoke after the IFAB approved having goal-line technology
decisions that are sent to referees' watches also shown on stadium
video boards and television broadcasts.
The IFAB also decided that competition organizers can allow the
technology to be used in competitions, such as World Cup
qualifiers, even if not all countries have systems in place.
CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb said Saturday that he hoped to
have goal-line technology in stadiums for the Gold Cup, which is
being held in the United States in July.
The IFAB delegates deferred two decisions.
Instead of approving trials of electronic chips in players'
shirts that could potentially warn of medical problems, a group of
experts will examine the benefits of such devices in the next year.
Electronic communication between players and staff is currently
IFAB also wants further consultation before deciding whether to
close a loophole on goals following uncontested dropped balls.
The rule change being considered would stop a goal being allowed
if one team expecting to receive the ball after an uncontested drop
has not touched it before their opponents scored.

and maybe a different spin on it...
Mikuru is basically Haruhi's Barbie doll. Her squeals and overall door-mattedness would probably activate a guy's "Knight in Shining Armour" mode in less than a second. Is it then abnormal for Kyon to harbour tender thoughts of Mikuru? Not in the slightest, and you'll see that not many people (if at all) would fault him for being...well...a guy. However the detail in the relationships between members of the SOS団 isn't very common in shows in general.
But it is a very viable material for debate. Is the focus of the show on the character that experiences the story as it unfolds or is it on the character that puts them in those situations in the first place?

Do you think that Haruhi was trying to kiss Kyon before he woke up? I wonder if she was influenced by that crazy dream she had a while back...

As I was re-watching episode 9 for my 5th time I had this thought...
Everytime Nagato looks into the bookshelf she's actually staring out of the screen at us the viewers just like the insect did in episode 7, trying to tell us 'what are you looking at? What do you want to see?'
Another thought came up:
When Kyon was in the clubroom notice Nagato's stance for holding the book is different---she alwayse used to have the book lying on her lap. But when Kyon's sleep she held her book up. Could that be her peeking at Kyon over the book?

those are some very good points, if it were anyone aside from nagato you would be reading too much into it; but it does seem that every move she makes is well thought out. also the second cardigan thing too would fit well into the peeking at kyon thing.
Haruhi's reaction was somewhat drawn out. If she were merely looking down upon him as he woke up i doubt she would have been <-- but moreso a (oh ur up) kind of deal. She must have been doing something suspicious...whether it was a kiss or preparing to draw on kyon or whatever her twisted yet lovable character could have done - for her to be rendered speechless and emoting like she did to mikuru in the baseball episode... well ya
and so the ending was tender but i really hope a season 2 comes out cuz there's just so much more potential!

Argh, awesome discussion guys. Good enough to pull me away from Ever 17, hehehehe. Nin! Nin! XD
My 2 cents on the love theory. First let's eliminate two contenders...
Oh yeah, there's Itsuki-->Kyon, which I firmly believe is there. I mean, Itsuki has moved his face way too close to Kyon's far too many times for me to believe otherwise. Too bad this couple won't happen, unless Kyon happens to be bisexual. There's always doujins for you yaoi fans. XD
Then there's Yuki-->Kyon. Honestly, no clue at all. Apart from being Kyon's 'yes-woman' as much as Kyon is Haruhi's 'yes man' and the second cardigan mystery, there's really no clue at all as Yuki is more Ice Queeny than most other characters. Sadly, even if it exist, I don't think it will ever be reciprocated, as he considers her as something mysterious rather than something romantic. At least, I haven't heard him say or thought something about Yuki that could even remotely be considered as romantic.
Now for the true debate, KyonXMikuru vs. KyonXHaruhi.
If one just looks at the obvious clues, then one can only see that Haruhi-->Kyon-->Mikuru. We've seen what looks like jealous spurts of Haruhi over Kyon, and we know that Kyon is yet another victim of Mikuru's moeness. I don't think these are disputable, but we all know that it takes two to tango, so...
What about Mikuru-->Kyon? It can be argued that it does exist, because:
1) Mikuru did ask if Kyon would take her in if she were ever be unfit for marriage
2) Mikuru did look mighty disappointed when Haruhi said she can't go with Kyon to get the heater
However, the better question is whether or not she would act on her feelings if she did have them. IMO, the chance of that happening is very slim because if Mikuru was a D&D character, she would be a lawful one... to the extreme. I mean, apart from her complete subservience to Haruhi, she can't give Kyon details about the future because it's classified information, let alone break the 'no romance with past people' law. Until she does the former, I find the latter highly unlikely.
Now Kyon-->Haruhi, that's a tricky subject. As far as we know, we have complete interiority of Kyon's thoughts, thus the ONLY reasonable assumption we can all make is that Kyon has only eyes on Mikuru. Thus if we were to argue for Kyon-->Haruhi as of now, we would have to say that he subconsciously likes Haruhi. Which, I admit, is guesswork that in the end might be all wrong even though when everything seems to point in that direction. Still, we do know that:
1) he finds her attractive enough (striking beauty remark in eps. 1)
2) For someone who claims he isn't interested in her, he thinks about Haruhi and her actions more than he does about the rest of the cast combined. Seems like she's always in his head for some reason
3) He himself admitted that he didn't know what came over him when he started to converse with Haruhi for the very first time. Wonder what the reason can that be?
4) KyoAni did wonderful work in showing Kyon tightly grasping Haruhi's hand last episode, all without him noticing it. And if I'm not mistaken, he was the one who initiated the hand hold, since he was pulling his arm up while Haruhi held hers at more or less the same level.
5) While he would've done it for anyone else, his lack of complaint after falling from the cliff with Haruhi is mighty interesting indeed when that's all he does whenever Haruhi does something dangerous
6) He actually was looking for recognition of his deeds in this episode, which would lead us to believe that he isn't as unwilling as his thoughts might otherwise suggest
So yes, it's still a stretch to say that Kyon feels more than friendship for Haruhi at this point. But if he ever does explicitly say so in the future, we can all look back and say that the signs were indeed there.
Now my thoughts on KyonXHaruhi, let me say that I do not feel they are the bickering couple at all because a) I don't think I've seen Kyon to be the initiator of the verbal arguement and b) Kyon only really speaks up when Haruhi is wrong, stepping over the line, or the matter is a life and death situation. In other words, Kyon rarely gives as much as he gets, he and Haruhi don't argue about trivial stuff, and they don't argue just for the sake of arguing. If he actually voiced his thoughts all the time then that's another matter, but so far all he's been doing is being Harhi's voice of reason, which is hardly what I would consider as bickering.
And yes, I find HaruhiXKyon to be the most probable couple ending. This is mainly because in the end of the anime series, the KyonXHaruhi dynamic is changing and evolving, while KyonXMikuru is pretty much stagnant so far. Plus, I get the nagging feeling that Kyon's attraction to Mikuru would just be physical infatuation, nothing more.
I still like KyonXMikuru better, because it provides better drama as not only are they going up against a futuristic race and their laws, but they are up against fate/God herself. But for reasons I have stated before, I find it very unlikely, and considering the mystery/sci-fi theme of the novel/show, I doubt that it would ever switch direction to heavy drama.

somehow ur quote here reminds me of the last ep in onegai sensei when mizuho argued with her gov't about saving kei
Question: So is Haruhi basically a genius or something? I mean she knows how to play baseball, juggle, do well in school and i believe a lot more things...

The MikuruxKyon is only there I think because Kyon is physically attracted to Mikuru. Plus, when haruhi uses her as a plaything it brings out Kyon's need to save her. Any guy would. I don't think there's anything more than that between them.

Makes me wonder why doesn't Haruhi's subconscious powers affect Kyon instantly and make him fall for Haruhi instantly Or maybe Yuki is concentrating on cancelling any such small effect on Kyon, so he remains relatively unaffected.

I prefer the theory that subconsciously she may be aware of her effect and the idea that she could just will Kyon to like her terrifies her.... hence all the force shields, roadblocks, tossed herring, and other debris to see if Kyon really does like her.
As usual, all predictive models are tentative as more data arrives

I think of it as the "rich girl's dilemma" ... does he like *me* or my wallet? In Haruhi's case, if she can simply will Kyon to like her, it doesn't really have the meaning that it would if he likes her independently.
I realize this treads really close to various metaphysical issues but I'm averting my eyes. Also keep in mind that I'm speculating about Haruhi's subconscious where most bets of rationality are off.

Eh, well, Haruhi didn't give me the impression of someone who is as calculating when she wants something. She reminds me of a girl I'm playing with sometimes. She's always hyper, and when she wants something, she just states so and takes it. Like how Haruhi acts with everyone in her club, especially Mikuru
The same is apparent when Kyon talks with Yuki and Itsuki about Haruhi. The theory is that if Haruhi gets bored, monsters and all sorts of calamities appear, so we have to keep Haruhi pleased. This adds to my impression that Haruhi really doesn't hold back when she wants something. What seems to be the case however is that she doesn't actually WISH for something to happen if she feels the current situation can be handled as it is or is interesting enough to keep her occupied. Which means that if at some point, Haruhi gets frustrated because Kyon doesn't reciprocate her feelings, she'll probably wish for something drastic.

Personally, to me it does seem like Haruhi has some sort of internal roadblock or what-have-you when it comes to Kyon. I mean, like in episode 5 with the random drawing of the toothpicks Kyon did end up going with Mikuru and Yuki alone instead of with Haruhi (who seemed pretty annoyed about it). With her powers it should have been pretty easy to alter chances so either it 1) didnt work or 2) it did work and it was intentional except it was due to something with her subconscious. Well, theres another idea but it has something to do with my own personal theory between the true relationship between Haruhi and Kyon.....so Ill just leave it at that
About the whole Kyon ---> Haruhi thing, my whole take on it is that Kyon is deep down drawn to Haruhi. Not to say romantically exactly, but that it basically makes life interesting being around her. He used to be a fantasizer/dreamer until the cold hard facts of reality became apparent and he gave in to boring normality. Haruhi is like the child that he left behind, so while on the surface of his mind he fights her off deep-down he cant help but cling on to her.
Also, to a guy like Kyon (and probably to a lot of guys in general), a girl like Haruhi would really seem like a lot to handle (regardless if shes cute or not). Being with her romantically would need quite a lot of energy. This is pretty much the opposite when considering Mikuru, who acts and seems much more submissive. So in regards to Kyon's romantic view on the two girls it pretty much boils down to the question of wether he prefers to be on top or not
By the way, was I the only one who thought it felt odd to see scenes in episode 9 where Kyon wasn't in the vicinity? I mean, most of the anime has been pretty much shown with his point-of-view in mind so it felt kinda jarring to have the first-person narrator be out of the picture....

Does anyone has a clue why Yuki tilt her head towards the radio at the end of the talk show?
To me, nothing short of anime conquered mars would captivate her attention from whatever shes reading, apart from Kyon.
My mind has been running the likes of yuki turn up to the clubroom in a brown bear suit handing a pot to Kyon: "Pot, lend it to u. Use it. As soon as u get home(dont ask me y at home)"
Kyon: ????

I have got troubles with protein pruification recently. My protein is a little large, 900+aa, and constructed to pGEX-6p-1, expressed in Rosetta(DE3). The fusion protein exists in supernatant after lysising the cells, while exists more in precipitate. I just take the supernatant to subsequent steps. But eluting the protein from the gst column, I found the purity is very low, no matter I cleave the PrePcission on or off the column. I am sure I have wash off the undisired protein with sufficient PBS. My protein contains 16 Cys, is it make the elution low purity?
So, could anyone help me analyse the problem and provide some suggestion about purification of Cys containing protein
Thanks so much!

READING, Pa. - A 17-0 second-half swing by Lebanon Valley led them in a comeback win at Albright, 24-17, in the 91st meeting of the rivals on Saturday at Shirk Stadium.
Ben Guiles ran for 120 yards and a score while catching two passes for 83 yards - both for touchdowns - as the Dutchmen (4-1, 2-1 MAC) came back from a 17-7 third-quarter deficit with 17 unanswered points to end the game.
Colt Zarilla was an efficient 11-for-17 for 264 yards and two touchdowns, with Tim Picerno catching three passes for 137 yards. LVC's defense made two critical fourth-quarter stands, including a game-ending stop that finished with pass break-ups by Ryan Melley and Clay Chaney.
The expected offensive showcase between two of the MAC's top scoring teams never materialized as Albright (4-2, 2-2 MAC) led by a 10-7 score at halftime. Albright, which averaged 299 yards passing per game coming into the weekend, was held to 95 yards in the air by the LVC defense, which broke up eight passes.
"I told them at halftime I told them we started well, and then we started playing not to lose instead of to win," said head coach Jim Monos. "We finally made some big plays on offense and we won the game at the end with a heck of a defensive stand."
In the first half, Guiles had opened the scoring on a seven-yard run midway through the first quarter, and Albright's Jordan Loiodice hit a 42-yard field goal to end the quarter before Josan Holmes' 10-yard finisher gave the Lions a 10-7 halftime lead.
Zach Groff ran in from eight yards out in the third to extend the lead to 17-7, but LVC's rally began with Sean Fakete's career-long 35-yard field goal to make it a one-score game at the end of the quarter.
LVC's quick-strike offense hit twice in the fourth quarter to take the lead. Down 17-10 to start the fourth, the Dutchmen made a stand just outside their red zone to force a turnover on downs, and Zarilla completed a 67-yard bomb to Picerno on first down to set up a three-yard touchdown catch for Guiles on a broken play.
On their next possession, it took only one play as Zarilla hit Guiles for an 80-yard catch-and-run sprint, helped by a key sideline block from Picerno.
"We had that play in our back pocket for the whole game," Guiles said. "I saw Picerno on the sideline ready to make a block, so I set him up, he made the block, and it turned out to be six points."
LVC's defense had to dig in to end the game, repelling a 14-play Albright drive in the closing minutes as Melley and Chaney both had break-ups at the goal line to secure the win.
The Dutchmen host FDU-Florham next Saturday on Oktoberfest Weekend.
Game Notes
It is the first time since 1994 that LVC has beaten Albright in consecutive years ... LVC won 28-13 last year ... Tradition holds that if LVC beats Albright, students will march to the President's home, Kreiderheim, to request the day before Thanksgiving off from class ... Guiles moved into second on the all-time LVC yardage list, surpassing Rick Coleman '78 ... He now has 3,191 yards and 37 rushing touchdowns ... Excluding victory formation to end the game, LVC ran just five offensive plays in the fourth quarter ... LVC was held to just 100 net yards on the ground, a season low ... The Dutchmen had one turnover, a muffed punt return, and Albright was flawless ... LVC was penalized just once for five yards ... Albright dominated possession 37:09 to 22:51, and led 12:15 to 2:45 in the fourth quarter ... Lebanon Valley began the game with a trick backwards pass from Jake Zeigler to Pete Panichi on the kick-off, giving Panichi a 57-yard return ... LVC was held without a sack, but Jerome Duncan, Wes Rockwell, and Zach Halpin all had tackles for loss ... Jason Gigous led all tackles with 11, and Kevin Smith made 10 hits ... Chaney ended up with two break-ups to go with seven tackles ... The LVC defense was coordinated by secondary coach Corey Wenger in place of Vince Pantalone; Pantalone missed the game to be with his son Nick, an LVC freshman, as he underwent successful surgery to remove cancer on Friday ... An emotional Monos dedicated the game and game ball to the Pantalones.

Las Vegas, Nev. - Down 7-1, the UC Santa Barbara (8-6) took advantage of the strong wind blowing out of Wilson Stadium, scoring a bakers dozen on four homers in the fifth inning, to defeat Creighton (0-3) 23-10 at the Rebel Invitational in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Gaucho starter James Dayley appeared to get off to a good start for the Gauchos, striking out the first two Creighton batters in the first. However, things began to unravel after that. The following batter Chris Hinrichs, hit a double off the fence in right center and then proceeded to score on a throwing error by Taylor Vogt on Hinrichs' steal of third base. The next batter, Scott Allen then homered to give the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead. Dayley continued to struggle, walking the next three batters to load the bases. However, the Paul, Idaho, native struck the next batter out looking, to strikeout the side and limit Creightons damage to two runs in the first inning.
Dayley gave up a bloop single to start the second, but right fielder Ryan Spilborghs made a heads-up play by throwing out the runner at first when the runner rounded first base too aggressively, getting the Gauchos their first out of the inning. After walking the next batter, Dayley struck out the following two batters looking to end the inning with the Blue Jays still leading 2-0.
Creighton tacked on two more runs off Dayley in the third. With a runner on second, Ryan Fitzgerald hit a line drive to center which appeared catchable, but the gusty winds at Wilson Stadium blew the ball over centerfielder Andy Campanellas head for a run-scoring double, making the score 3-0 Blue Jays. After giving up one more run and loading the bases, Kevin Miller came in to replace Dayley with one out in the third. Dayley surrendered five runs on seven hits, three walks while striking out six in two and one-thirds innings of work.
The Gauchos got on the board tn the fourth, after a ground out by Matt Wilkerson, secondbaseman Chris Malec smacked a double off the top of the wall in right-center and later scored on a single ripped to right by Nate Sutton to trail 5-1.
Creighton came right back in the bottom of the inning, with two more runs on a home run by Tyler Davies, off Miller, to make it 7-1 Jays.
Then the Gauchos came back with a vengeance.
In the top of the fifth UCSB scored 12 runs on four homers to take a 13-7 lead.
The Gauchos got started with a pair of home runs from Andy Campanella and Chris Malec, to make it a 7-5 ballgame. Campanellas homer, his first of the year, was tagged over the centerfield wall and Malecs, his fifth of the year, was a three-run blast, also drilled over the centerfield wall.
UCSB was not done in the fifth, as Creighton starter Steve Grasley (0-1) continued to struggle, loading the bases for R.J. Smith. The senior leftfielder, then proceeded to smack a single into right, scoring Josh McCanne and Nate Sutton, tying the game up at 7-7. Campanella then came up again and almost hit his second homer of the inning, hitting a double off the right center wall, driving in two more runs.
The Gauchos were still not done as Dave Light reached base for the second time with his single to right scoring Campanella to make it 10-7 UCSB. Spilborghs followed up Lichts single with his second hit of the inning, a two-run homer over the right-center wall to make it 12-7. The following batter, Matt Wilkerson, then smacked his fourth homer of the year to straight-away center, making it 13-7 Gauchos. Chris Malec then grounded to second to end the inning.
Overall in the fifth, UCSB sent 15 batters to the plate, getting 10 hits, four home runs and scoring 12 runs. The Gauchos went from trailing 7-1 to a 13-7 lead.
The Gauchos offensive tear was not done as they struck for four more runs in the seventh as Licht started off the inning by lacing a double off then fence in right center and then advanced to third on a wild pitch. After a Spilborghs strikeout, Malec singled over the shortstop to drive in Licht, making it 14-7 UCSB. Josh McCanne followed with a single and then Nate Sutton walked to load the bases. The next batter, Vogt, ripped a bases clearing double down the rightfield line to make it 17-7.
Malec would knock in two more runs in the eighth with a bases loaded single to right, to make it 19-9. On the day, Malec went 4-for-6 with six RBI, a double and a homer. This is Malec's second six-RBI game this season.
Creighton answered back with two runs of its own in the eighth on Davies second homer of the game, a two-run blast over the center field wall to make it 19-9 Gauchos. Davies went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI for the Blue Jays.
Miller (2-0) gets the win for the Gauchos, his second on the season, going 5.2 innings yielding four runs while striking out four batters.
Ryan Spilborghs went 5-for-7 for the Gauchos with a double, a homer and four runs scored. Seven Gauchos had two or more hits in the game.
UCSB scored 23 runs on 25 hits and committed three errors. Creighton scored 10 on 15 hits, committing four errors.
The Gauchos return to action Sunday February 24 for their third and final game at the UNLV invite. UCSB with take on host UNLV. The first pitch is tentatively scheduled for 3:00 p.m.

|Concordia-Moorhead players
are well onto the field before their eligible teammate controls the
fumble that could have been the end of the game.

More photos from this game.
An unbelievable finish at Royal Stadium allowed the Bethel University Royals, who celebrated its homecoming game Saturday, to come back from a 14-7 deficit with 1:24 remaining in the fourth quarter to defeat Concordia-Moorhead 15-14 in a MIAC classic.
Trailing by seven, Bethel drove 71 yards down the field to
score the game winning touchdown – but it didn't come without
Facing a third-and-10 from the Cobber 17-yard-line with 0:01 on the clock quarterback Erik Peterson (So., Orono, Minn.) was stripped, which induced a parade of Concordia personnel onto the field. However, no one had gained possession and by the time a Cobber picked up the ball and ran 71 yards for a CC score penalty flags littered the field. The Cobbers had been penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct – thier only penalty of the game – for coming onto the field while no one had possession, which gave the Royals one more opportunity to score from the 9-yard line.
With one final play Peterson found Jay Hilbrands (Sr., Clara City, Minn.) on the far corner of the end zone for the score. Instead of kicking the extra point, Bethel decided to attempt a two-point conversion, which was successful via a toss from Peterson to Mitch Hallstrom (Jr., Eden Prairie, Minn.), ending the game victoriously for the Royals.
Bethel fans embedded within the crowd of 5,124 people stormed the field after witnessing one of the most bizarre endings to a game in Royal Stadium history.
The Cobbers never trailed until the final play of the game, as Concordia ended the first half with a Brent Baune rushing touchdown in a fourth-and-goal situation from the 1-yard-line.
The Royals responded with an 11-play, 50-yard drive lasting 5:35 near the end of the third quarter, which featured Jesse Phenow (Jr., Richfield, Minn.) – who played in his first game since spraining his knee on the first series of the Wartburg contest – rushing the ball from 1 yard out. A Nathaniel Van Loon point after attempt made the score 7-7.
Concorda gave themselves a seven-point spread with a 40-yard reception between quarterback Griffin Neal and wide out Chris Gilson with 9:01 on the clock.
Behind 14-7 Bethel was unable to score on the ensuing possession, however, BU forced the Cobbers to punt, which handed the rock back to the Royals with 1:24 on the clock.
Several extraordinary plays took place on the game-winning drive, including a one-handed grab by Mitch Hallstrom for 30 yards and a 14-yard pass and catch between Hans Duininck (Sr. Tulsa, Okla.) and Peterson on fourth-and-12.
Statistics between each team were nearly identical. BU managed 91 yards rushing on 39 attempts, averaging 2.3 yards per carry, while Erik Peterson and the aerial attack threw for 177 yards on 16-of-30 attempts. Jesse Phenow led Bethel with 89 yards rushing on 22 attempts, to go along with his third quarter score. Jay Hilbrands was Peterson's hottest target Saturday, catching eight passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. Hallstrom and Jared Schultz each caught two passes for 41 and 25 yards, respectively.
For the Cobbers, Brett Baune's 50 yards and touchdown helped CC finish the day with 103 rushing yards and a score. This demonstrated the strength of the defense, as Concordia averaged 327 yards rushing coming into the MIAC battle. The Cobbers threw for 173 yards on 14-of-19 attempts. Concordia attained an 8-yard advantage in total offensive yards (276-268) and total possession was decided by just over a minute.
The Royals play its next competition on the road next Saturday, traveling to St. Paul to face the University of St. Thomas. The 1:10 p.m. battle will be the fourth straight game against an unbeaten opponent and will be the third consecutive game to hold sizeable MIAC title implications.
