Chair Thompson called the meeting to order and asked for a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was proffered by Trustee Gonzalez and seconded by Trustee Twomey. The minutes were approved unanimously.
Chair Thompson opened the floor for public comment. No comments were submitted.
Chair Thompson spoke of the inauguration ceremony, expressing particular appreciation of Dr. Allaire and his staff for their work on the event. She said public response to the inauguration had been extraordinarily positive, presenting exactly the right amount of pomp and circumstance without excess. She observed that everywhere she went in the community it seemed the inaugural proceedings were a topic of conversation. She said President Delaney's speech had been a resounding success. Trustee Douglas added that Governor Bush had distributed the speech to other trustees as he was so impressed with the four commitments outlined by President Delaney: a commitment to excellence, a commitment to focus, a commitment to relevance, and a commitment to accountability. Chair Thompson confirmed this, stating that she had met with the Governor during the week, along with the other board chairs, and that the Governor had referenced the President's speech and the UNF Board of Trustees during that meeting as well, remarking on their successful combination of accountability with flexibility and stating that such a combination was exactly what he'd hoped to see established at Florida's public universities. Chair Thompson thanked UNF's faculty, students, and staff for their input, stating how much it had helped the Board to outline and accomplish its goals.
Regarding the meeting with the Governor, Chair Thompson said the meeting gave the Governor an opportunity to speak personally with the chairs, discussing his hopes for the state education system and getting feedback from them as well. The chairs expressed their appreciation for the Governor and his staff for their handling of input from the boards and their positive perspective on the feedback received from the universities. The meeting also gave the chairs an opportunity to speak with each other and compare notes, highlighting the fact that improvements were not only at issue locally but also state wide. Chair Thompson remarked that the BOT planning session had been very helpful in terms of examining areas for improvement and said she hoped to continue the process through the rotating board, planning, and committee meetings currently scheduled.
President Delaney attributed the success of his inaugural address in large part to the trustees, stating that much of the language he had used for the speech was theirs, including the four commitments adopted as a foundation for the strategic plan, which were originally framed by Vice Chair Halverson. He said he had heard good things about the speech and the inauguration and added his own voice to Chair Thompson's in thanking Dr. Allaire and his staff for a job well done.
President Delaney said it had been agreed that the technological research park for research and development would be sold to the university through the state. The eastern ridge of the property, all land west of the technology park, would be deeded to the university as well. The university would take over maintenance of the technology park land. President Delaney said the more money put into the park the better it would be for UNF.
As Janet Owen was in Tallahassee for the legislative session, President Delaney gave the legislative update. The President said he thought UNF would be in good shape in the Senate, though the House could cut 4 ½ percent from university allocations. He referred to the coming year as a "pinch me" year for PECO dollars, stating that it appeared funding for the social science building would be approved, as would the stadium and miscellaneous dollars for maintenance and the student union. President Delaney informed the group that the recommended tuition increase was 7 ½ percent at the undergraduate level. He said it looked like the legislature would support fully funding Bright Futures. Enrollment growth would be almost $2 million and matching gifts would make a major step forward as well.
In a discussion of the latest legislative proposal affecting tuition, President Delaney indicated that the Governor had spoken of tension between some universities and the Board of Governors and the Board of Education. The President was pleased to note that relations between UNF and those entities, and with the Governor's office, were very good. He said the Governor hoped to limit subsidization of hours over 10 percent above the 120 required for the first bachelor's degree. The Governor's Office requested input on the legislation and UNF's administration responded by raising some specific concerns regarding particular student populations. President Delaney said that the concerns raised by UNF were taken into account by the Board of Governors and the Governor's Office and he expected the legislation to positively reflect those suggestions. He noted, however, that he believed the Governor was firm in his intent to limit the number of hours subsidized by state funds. Overall, he said he thought the legislative session could be quite good for UNF this year.
President Delaney said he had met with Steve Williamson, chair of the Faculty Association Strategic Planning Committee, and believed he was interested in the strategic plan. He said he expected heavy faculty involvement.
Chair Thompson observed that the university was well represented by Janet Owen. She said Ms. Owen prepared her well for meetings thus it was very easy for her to understand what was happening and participate more effectively. She said it was clear to her when she attended meetings how well prepared UNF's staff were by Ms. Owen. President Delaney agreed and said that Ms. Owen had also remarked on how well UNF was represented by Chair Thompson.
Committee Chair Hicks said the inauguration had been a topic of discussion at the last meeting and spoke of the committee's pride in the inaugural proceedings.
Trustee Hicks said that Communication and Visual Arts was an enormous discipline and it seemed the two should be separated, which would allow Communication to be accredited and Visual Arts to take a position as an individual department. She added that the cost of the separation was minimal, $20,000 at most. She said Provost Kline and Dean Workman were available if there were any further questions and asked if they had anything they would like to add. Provost Kline said she had given the heart of the argument and he had nothing further; Dean Workman agreed. There were no questions. Chair Thompson called for a vote. All trustees voted in favor of the separation.
Committee Chair Hicks said the second issue for discussion was free speech, which had been brought before the Board in previously. She asked Karen Stone to elaborate. Ms. Stone said a variety of models for dealing with demonstrations and free speech were examined. Initially, UNF had designated free speech areas. That policy had met with no resistance in a review committee consisting of faculty, staff, and students. However, there were some public concerns so the committee readdressed the policy. Ms. Stone said she felt the newest policy was much more open, so the reexamination of the policy had been very productive. The latest policy only required an approval process for large gatherings or demonstrations. She said the process would be expedited as much as possible, but arrangements for such things as law enforcement and traffic control had to be considered when planning for larger demonstrations. The University of Florida model was used to develop the policy. Ms. Judy Clausen added that the campus was now considered an open campus but there were some areas where space must be reserved in advance and prior notice was required for large groups. Otherwise no advance notice was necessary.
Trustee Twomey said that he wished to verify that, while freedom of speech was protected, procedures were in place should demonstrations become unruly or unsafe. Ms. Stone indicated such procedures were in place. Trustee Watterson stated that he was very comfortable with the policy and felt the student body in general was pleased as well. He complimented the university administration for their work on the policy. Chair Thompson called the motion to a vote and it was approved unanimously.
Committee Chair Twomey asked Trustee Kendrick to discuss the Finance and Audit Committee report, humorously stating that it was a full and lively meeting though he had been out of the country and unable to attend it. He referred to one of President Delaney's "top ten" given in his inaugural speech, "Don't delude yourself into thinking you can solve the campus parking problem," joking that he had been accused of being out of the country intentionally to avoid the parking item on the committee agenda. He complimented Trustee Kendrick on her handling of the meeting in his absence. He also mentioned that the minutes of the committee meeting reflected some very good discussion of the financial management process. He hoped to hold one or more meetings to prepare the committee for approval of the budget. Dean Serwatka added that the meetings would be noticed similarly to regular meetings but would include venues for feedback and questions to staff members. He encouraged all board members to participate. He said a meeting or conference call for the full Board might be required late in June in addition to the Finance and Audit Committee meeting in order to complete the budget by the deadline.
Committee Chair Twomey asked Vice President Shuman to go over the parking item before Trustee Kendrick discussed the audits. Ms. Shuman referred trustees to Attachment 6A-1, the financial model for parking through 2010. She indicated that the numbers had been through a committee of faculty, staff, and students prior to submission to her office for recommendation to the President. It was estimated that a garage would be needed by September 2008, thus the figures represented the increases necessary to meet that need. General parking would need to increase 8 ½ percent by 2010 in order to fund the garage. It was determined that it would be preferable to increase to those rates gradually rather than a substantial raise in one year. Initially some increases would be higher as some designations were changed. For instance, garage parking was now defined as premium parking rather than general. Also, the daily parking permit would be increased from $2 to $3.
Another issue related to parking fees had to do with USPS employees. As the lowest paid classification, the largest complaint for these employees was that they began their day in the negative due to the cost of parking. Vice President Shuman said that many of the employees were represented by AFSCME. In negotiations with the union, one possibility on the table was a parking allowance of $50 to defray the cost of parking. The transportation stipend would allow employees to park for free in the outer lots. She said three town hall meetings had been held for employees to discuss the parking issue. Two hundred employees were present at the first forum. After the announcement of the possibility of the transportation stipend, thirty attended the second meeting and four attended the third, indicating that employees were content with the stipend offer.
Committee Chair Twomey proposed that the parking increases be accepted by the Board. Trustee Gonzalez had a question regarding funds collected for special event parking. President Delaney answered that such monies were added to the university parking fund; they did not go to those sponsoring the event. Trustee Gonzalez also asked if the State's pre-paid college program covered parking. Ms. Stone replied that it did not. Trustee Watterson thanked President Delaney and Vice President Shuman for their efforts toward meeting students' needs and ensuring discount parking for needy students. He noted that students were frustrated that parking rates continued to increase. He said parking was one of the first concerns listed when students were asked to name areas they would like to see improved. He stated that while he appreciated the significant efforts made to work with students' parking concerns, as the student body representative, he would have to vote against the recommended increases because the students felt so strongly about the issue. Chair Thompson said she did not know of any campus, hospital or university, where parking was not an issue. She said that trustees would prefer not to have to charge for parking at all. Unfortunately, it was the only funding mechanism currently available. All of the trustees, with the exception of Trustee Watterson (as noted previously), voted in favor of the increases.
Trustee Kendrick discussed the three audit reports. The first report was the preliminary statewide audit, with six findings, one of which was applicable to UNF. The university replied to the finding and made some process changes. Trustee Kendrick said the committee was comfortable with it and she believed the auditor's office was as well. There were no findings for the financial statement audit or the athletics audit. She asked if Vice President Shuman had anything to add to the report. Ms. Shuman commented that all of the audits were clean audits. Trustee Kendrick said another item discussed at the FAC had to do with ensuring that trustees had the information necessary to make sure that the university was moving forward. The FAC had also requested a scorecard of indicators to track the university's progress.
Chair Thompson indicated that the next item of business was related to legislative issues and asked Trustee Solano to explain the item. Trustee Solano referred the Board to Attachment 7-1, stating that the resolution was essentially concerned with two issues: requiring out-of-state tuition for non-degree seeking students who were Florida citizens, and requiring out-of-state tuition for credit hours taken over 120. She said the faculty would like to go on record as opposing anything that would limit the education available to students. She said faculty were able to share the resolution with Chair Thompson, President Delaney, Provost Kline and the Chancellor's office. The Chancellor asked Trustee Solano to get back with her if the resolution was passed, which she did. She said faculty felt they had been heard on the issue but also felt there should be continued discussion while the item was in legislation. She added that this was the first issue since the Board's inception with which the faculty felt they needed support.
Chair Thompson said she thought Trustee Solano's observations were accurate, stating that in this particular case the Governor and his staff did ask for input in advance. She reported that some of the issues Trustee Solano addressed had already been considered and written into the legislation. She agreed with Trustee Solano that the Board should be apprised of the situation, stating that the Board was doing its best to collect opinions and respond in way that would represent the tax payers and still make education available to the State's citizens.
President Delaney reiterated that the Governor was fairly adamant that some part of the legislation be in place, though he had softened it by increasing the number of hours that could be taken over 120 and accepting that there were some programs that required more hours. However, philosophically the Governor believed there should be a limit to the number of non-degree seeking students subsidized by the State.
Trustee Watterson stated that though the students were happy with much of the budget, they were particularly upset about this legislation and hoped the Governor would reconsider this piece of the budget. He said students transferring from private to public universities were affected as well as other students and many students would be unable to afford to finish their education.
Trustee Gonzalez gave an example based on his own experience. He said he went from community college to the University of Puerto Rico and would have been penalized under the proposed system as he had to wait for his records to catch up and took 15 elective credits while he waited. He recalled that deans used to sit with students to come up with a program of study and every program had a different number of credits required for graduation. He wondered where the 120 credit requirement originated. Dean Serwatka replied that the State had determined that all degrees, with some exceptions such as engineering and nursing, had to meet the 120 credit requirement. He said the new legislation would enable students to take at least 15 percent over the 120 hours.
Chair Thompson informed the group that many of these issues had already been addressed by the Governor's office. She said the goal was to get students through college in four years. She pointed out that many students were paying the same rate as undergraduate degree seeking students for six or seven years rather than four. Trustee Kendrick said that, as a naturalized citizen of the United States, she was blessed to be in a country that had open access to all students. She said she was delighted to be in a country where the subject was even open for debate. She asked if other states had a similar requirement. Provost Kline replied that he did not know of the requirement's existence in other states but would check into the matter. He added that his concern about the new legislation was that it could discourage students from experimenting. While he agreed that it was important for students to get through college and graduate, he felt it was equally important that they be happy with the degree they obtained and the resulting career options. He said it was important for students to be suited to the careers for which they were educated and it could take some time for students to discover their aptitudes.
Trustee Solano wondered if there was data available on the numbers and percentages of students with more than 120 hours before graduation. She said she thought there might be more of a perception of students delaying entry into the workforce than an actuality. President Delaney replied that he wasn't sure how much data was available but said she had posed an interesting question. He said that the State wanted to encourage students to make decisions on their degree early and planned to do so monetarily. While it would be nice if state universities could afford to have students take classes for purposes of enlightenment only, it was not possible at this time. The classes had to be available for degree seeking students. He said the Governor and the Board of Governors had decided upon the legislation but had shown a great deal of flexibility. He admitted that transfer students were a big issue and said he had a feeling the news would be discouraging rather than encouraging on that issue. However, he said, should the legislation pass, there would be an opportunity to reexamine it next year and problems or more data could be brought forward at that time.
Dean Serwatka added that George Perkins had prepared data on excess hours and was sending the information to Janet Owen so she could work on getting as many exceptions for the university as possible. Provost Kline noted that the number of students with more than 120 hours was quite an important number. He said thought the number was probably high, as he knew the percentage of students who changed their major was fairly high. Dean Serwatka stated that the university had the right to establish a surcharge for excess hours. The universities were penalized for excess hours as state support would not be forthcoming for those hours. President Delaney said it was not yet known which version of the legislation would prevail. He said Janet Owen was monitoring the situation and the university did have the ability to affect it.
President Delaney discussed another item the Governor was considering, incentives for targeted degrees such as nurses, teachers, and engineers. He observed that such incentives would allow the university to compensate for areas where revenue had been cut.
Chair Thompson said it was clear in Tallahassee that faculty were against the limitation of hours. She told Trustee Solano that she appreciated the faculty's position, but sometimes the Board reluctantly voted in a different direction than the one taken by the faculty. She said she appreciated that neither the Board nor the faculty were surprised in these instances and was glad that both parties kept the avenues for information open. Trustee Taylor added that he thought a couple of key philosophical points discussed in the past were pertinent, particularly the relevance of students' education. He said it was important to ensure that students had a well-grounded education. He felt that the problem with artificial caps on the number of program hours was the inability to balance such things as offering an arts background to students in nursing, etc. He felt it might be false economy to try to apply an overly limiting cap that would not allow for a broader education.
President Delaney discussed Item 8 on the agenda. At the last planning meeting, trustees talked about moving to quarterly meetings and planning meetings. They also discussed holding quarterly committee meetings with both committees meeting on the same date. President Delaney indicated the proposed calendar in the trustees' packets, along with the calendar for the remainder of this year. He noted that a meeting might have to be scheduled for June in order to meet the deadline for the budget. The trustees agreed to review the calendars and vote on them at the next BOT meeting.
Trustees had also discussed having vice chair positions on the committees. President Delaney said the proposed change, along with some housekeeping issues, had been included in the bylaws. A vote would be required to change the bylaws. Chair Thompson asked Karen Stone about the section on public comment. She said that as the Board moved to handling more of the detail work at the committee level, it might make sense to allow for comments at the committee meetings so that the Board could feel comfortable that the committees had been advised by the pertinent comments. President Delaney agreed, stating that it was important for the Board to be open and transparent. Trustee Gonzalez suggested that people wishing to make public comment register previously and be given 5 minutes to address the Board. Those who did not register could be taken at the end of the day as time allowed. Karen Stone observed that the bylaws currently allowed three minutes per speaker for a total of fifteen minutes, but added that the rules could always be waived as the group saw fit. Trustee Twomey moved to approve the bylaws. Trustee Gonzalez seconded the motion and the Board voted unanimously in favor of it.
Chair Thompson thanked everyone for their participation and adjourned the meeting

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - No. 5 nationally-ranked MIT women's swimming and diving picked up a 266-109 victory over Tufts University at home on Saturday afternoon. The Engineers won 16 of the 20 events and took two or three of the top spots in several of them. Senior Anna Kokensparger (Omaha, Neb.) won all three of her events, while freshmen Kate Yu (San Jose, Calif.) and Katie Siegel (San Jose, Calif.) won two of their events.
As usual, MIT's 400 yard medley A relay started the meet off with a win, touching in 3:58.26. The B relay finished second with a time of 4:07.69, out-touching Tufts' A relay by just over a second.
Junior Sarah Weiss (Edina, Minn.) won the 1000 yard freestyle in 10:59.48, finishing eight seconds ahead of the second place finisher. Sophomore Taylor Pearl (Solon, Ohio) was third in 11:09.84. MIT's best showing was in the 200 yard freestyle, taking first through fourth place and finishing with less than two seconds between them all. Yu came first with a time of 1:57.23 and was followed by sophomore Emmie Ryan (Indianapolis, Ind.) in 1:57.37, junior Joanna Yeh (Frederick, Md.) in 1:58.32 and freshman Margaret Guo (San Diego, Calif.) with a time of 1:59.06.
The Engineers turned around from their impressive performance in the 200 yard freestyle to take first, second and third place in the next event, the 100 yard backstroke. Sophomores Jane He (Yardley, Pa.) and Eann Tuan (Richardson, Texas) finished almost simultaneously with times of 1:00.31 and 1:00.48 respectively. Freshman Danielle Garside (Broomfield, Colo.) came third in 1:03.21. In the 100 yard breaststroke, junior Christy Rogers (Bend, Ore.) finished second with a time of 1:08.17 and, in the 200 yard butterfly, Kokensparger touched first in 2:10.61.
In the 50 yard butterfly, an event the Engineers have not swam individually all season, Siegel came first in 25.76 and senior Elina Hu (Oshkosh, Wis.) was second with a time of 27.60. In the 50 yard freestyle, freshman Lena Yang (East Stroudsburg, Pa.), Tuan and freshman Anna Leonard (Rogersville, Mo.) finished with less than a second between them all, taking first through third place.
MIT competed well in the 1 meter diving portion of the meet, finishing in second, third and fourth place. Senior Elise Stave (Chapel Hill, N.C.) finished highest for the Engineers with a score of 280.15, just two points behind the first place finisher. Freshman Grace Connors (Bronxville, N.Y.) was third with 277.35 and junior Mia Stevens (Lakewood, N.Y.) was fourth with 270.25. They had another good showing in the 3 meter diving, with Stevens finishing first with a score of 285.30, Connors in third with 271.00 and Stave fourth with 266.85.
In the 100 yard freestyle, Yang touched first in 54.18 and was followed by Hu in second with a time of 55.02 and sophomore Michelle Cunningham (Wayland, Mass.) in third with a time of 55.35. The Engineers, once again, took first through third place in another event, this time in the 200 yard backstroke with Rogers finishing first in 2:09.21, He in second place with a 2:10.83 and junior Katelyn Rossick (Middletown, Md.) in third place with a time of 2:12.67, finishing six seconds before the first Tufts swimmer got to the wall. Kokensparger won her second event of the afternoon, going 2:28.61 in the 200 yard breaststroke, being followed by freshman Sydney Hodges (Richmond, Texas) in second with a time of 2:33.03.
Rossick won her first event of the afternoon when she went 2:12.59 in the 200 yard individual medley. She was followed by He with a 2:15.94 and Pearl with a time of 2:17.24. MIT ended the meet the same way they started it, by coming first and second in the relay, this time the 400 yard freestyle relay, with a time of 3:40.75 for the A relay and 3:46.36 for the B relay.
The Engineers will hit the road for Amherst, Mass. to face Amherst College on Saturday, Jan. 26 at 1:00 p.m.

Claymore Chapter 102
Welcome to the monthly discussion thread for Claymore, Chapter 102.
The thread was created before the chapter was published. Usually false spoilers start to appear early so (naturally) people always need a place to discuss them.
Thread Guidelines
Since Claymore is licensed by Viz the following posts are not allowed
You still are allowed to discuss the manga, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story itself.
Summaries are allowed, it's just that full translations are against the forum rules. The odd image or a translation of a line or paragraph is acceptable, that's considered "fair use" but more than that isn't allowed. If you need to post a single image (or preferably only the relevant part of an image) for a reason related to discussion you can put it on an image host, but never ever post a link where people can see the entire manga.

Does anyone have one? I'd really like to hear someone's input on it. It says it's for dogs up to 12.5 pounds but I'm just not sure.

More Images from '300: Rise of an Empire' Reveal Our Hero and Ruthless Female Villain
300: Rise of an Empire isn't due out until August (which is closer than you think…), but the sequel to Zack Snyder's stylish action flick is already enticing audiences with behind-the-scenes details. Today, we get a look at some new photos, plus detailed character descriptions for the two adversaries squaring off in Noam Murro's film. If that's not interesting enough, read on to find out which character from the original film will be making a return appearance in the sequel (hint: it's not Leonidas…).
Using Frank Miller's graphic novel Xerxes as its inspiration, 300: Rise of an Empire tells the tale of Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) as he leads a counterattack against the fierce Persian navy that's destined to change the course of a war with Eva Green's Artemisia.
Here's the new character blurb for Themistokles, our hero.
"Walking the line between savvy statesman and battle-hardened soldier, this Greek general has no illusions about what motivates men, kings or gods. He knows well how the game is played.
A master strategist, Themistokles holds an unflinching vision for the glory of Greece and will do whatever it takes to realize that vision—whether leading the charge on the battlefield or subtly working his influence behind the scenes.
Now, facing the onslaught of the massive Persian navy, he may be outnumbered but not out-maneuvered. Knowing there's more at stake here than his life and the lives of his men, he will gamble everything on a daring plan that could seal the fate of Greece and the future of democracy."
Sounds a lot like a Leonidas to us…
Here's what the dashing Themistokles will be squaring off against in Artemisia…
"A woman commanding armies in a man's world, this skilled and ruthless warrior—the real power behind Xerxes' throne—knows that the rules have never applied to her. And never will. Meeting Themistokles head-on with the Persian armada, Artemisia will set the sea on fire, assaulting Greece not only for power and glory but for vengeance, the roots of which are known only to herself… and for which she is willing to sacrifice thousands and alter the fate of nations."
We like the idea of a female villain this time out. Hopefully the film does something interesting with it and doesn't just coast along on the novelty of the bad guy actually being a bad girl.
And finally, it appears that 300's David Wenham will be returning (alongside Lena Headey) for the sequel. Wenham played the one-eyed narrator of the first film.
We're cautiously optimistic about 300: Rise of an Empire at this point. We've always been eager for more Spartan action, but we will admit to being a bit concerned about whether or not Noam Murro can pull this off. We'll find out once and for all on August 2. Until then, what do you guys think? Check out more new photos at Geek Tyrant.

Right-Wing Spin: School Massacre Gun Debate A "Distraction"
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
As President Obama readies his push for new measures to help curb gun violence, conservative writers, including a USA Today columnist, are calling the unfolding gun debate a "distraction" and a "red herring" designed by the White House to focus attention away from what's really important in America, the national debt.
Dismissing the implications of a steady string of mass shootings, including the Newtown, CT elementary school massacre, gun advocates in the media accuse the president of fabricating the need for action or attention on the issue. He's being an "opportunist" who's "picking a fight" on guns, they insist.
The dismissive claim actually runs counter to a popular right-wing mantra this month that the Obama administration's gun control efforts stand as the precursor to a looming civil war, and that Obama's true tyrannical nature will be revealed.
Either way, portraying 30,000 gun deaths each year in America as a "distraction," and especially portraying the issue of school gun killings as a "red herring," strikes me as tasteless.
Nonetheless, in his USA Today column, conservative blogger Glenn Reynolds suggested Obama is purposefully focusing on guns in order to keep attention off "the country's financial situation." Left unmentioned by Reynolds was the fact that gun violence was thrust to the forefront of Obama's second-term agenda because a madman massacred kids and teachers inside a Connecticut school with a Bushmaster .223 semi-automatic rifle. Meaning, Obama's trying to deal with the issue of gun violence in a public way because gunmen keep going on shooting rampages across the country.
On the topic of gun violence in America, Reynolds' column remained silent. He was only interested in blaming Obama for allegedly manufacturing a diversion. (In his December 25 column, Reynolds lodged a similar complaint, insisting, "They'd rather have us talking about gun control" than the national debt.)
Following Reynolds' lead, Powerline blogger John Hinderaker apologized for having recently weighed in on the issue of gun control. Why apologize? Because Hinderaker now realizes gun control, gun violence, and shooting sprees represent a "distraction" from what really matters, the debt.
And writing at Breitbart.com, AWR Hawkins could barely mask his contempt for anyone who thinks guns represent an issue of importance in America today. Accusing the president of trying to "seize on the emotions of those who operate emotionally rather than rationally," the blogger wrote that any effort to curb gun violence in the wake of the Connecticut mass murder was a "red herring" designed to "redirect all emotion" away from what really matters.
I wonder if Newtown families agree.

Who needs'em.
The whole state is nothing but America's prostate gland – something that no one pays attention to until it starts acting up. At this point, discussions about the election should move forward with the given assumption that Florida will be swindled away by the Republicans. Again. So be it.
Of eight polls taken in Ohio in the last 10 days, six of them show Kerry with a lead outside of the margin of error. In Pennsylvania, Kerry remains in the margin of error but has led a succession of polls over the last 2 weeks. Taking that into account, here's an electoral college map giving Bush every conceivable benefit of the doubt in other swing states, including Florida, but assuming that the Ohio polls are right and Kerry wins.
Humans 272, Fascists 266
Look at the number of swing states being conceded to Bush in this scenario: Iowa, New Mexico, Nevada, West Virginia, and even big-ass Florida. Bear in mind that Gore won NM and Iowa. And the only assumptions being made in Kerry's favor are that he:
A) Has the lead in Ohio that polls indicate he does
B) Will win New Hampshire, a progressive state that Bush was shocked to win in 2000
Pretty reasonable assumptions, right? If anything, it's being overly generous to Bush. Kerry still appears to have a slight advantage in Iowa and the race in Florida is an absolute statistical tie.
So suck it, Florida. You devolved, homonculous retards can vote however the fuck you want and do whatever you feel like with the ballots afterwards. Vote on an Etch-a-Sketch for all I care. Toss ballots into the ocean. Disenfranchise every black voter in the state. It doesn't matter. Kerry's decisive momentum swing in Ohio – a state I gave up for dead a month ago – has rendered Florida irrelevant even under scenarios extremely favorable to Bush in other swing states.
In other words, I'm going on record and saying that we will in fact know who the President is when we wake up on Wednesday. As hard as Brother Jeb and the other little demon spawn in Florida will try to turn the election into another 3 month long legal battle, it's not going to matter. That state of mulleted, drooling, Skynyrd-loving mongoloids can entertain itself in court for as long as it likes. So long as the good people of Ohio exercise an iota of critical thinking skills – and polling now indicates that they will – America's wang will remain irrelevant. Just like it should.

Over the translations the scene Lawrence talked about was like
"Before them, you..." or "In front of them, you..."as if he knows whats going on. It might be something of Horo. Therefor, I speculate the OVA will tell us something related.. A wild speculation out of how the translations has put it.
-I can't tell, but I'm sure there was blood on her knees when the view switches to her legs. Something to consider over the theory of courses of dominance: nipping the prey.

Can someone explain to me the business dealings in the last episode? It was a bit confusing.
So the Remario company originally planned to have 1000 gold coins worth of gold, but they only got 100? Then Lawerence lied to Nora and told her that they had 600 gold coins, and could make 6000 gold coins in profit?
Then Lawerence told Nora they would split it 50/50, then went to the trader and told the Remario leader to give him 50 gold coins every year for 10 years...but that would mean they had 1000 goin coins? Is this correct? :/
Then near the end, his friend told him he would buy 30 and 100...30 and 100 of what? 30 and 100 worth of goin coins? But didn't he say he only had 100 worth of gold coins?
I'm so confused... =(

The business dealings in this show can get confusing at times...
Nevertheless, here is my read:
(1) Lemerio originally planned to smuggle X amount of gold. However, they could only acquire Y, a much smaller amount.
(2) The value of the gold goes up tenfold if the smuggling is successful.
(3) Lawrence and co. cannot smuggle the gold without Lemerio's help.
(4) In the end, Lawrence cuts a deal with Lemerio so that they can keep enough money to save the company. In return Lemerio owes money to the guild. The leader of the guild gives Lawrence an advance so he can pay off his debts.
(1) Lemerio's head was very dumb. Lawrence and co. were obviously small-timers and could be bought on the cheap. They had a dozen guards surveying the situation, and that was all the "insurance" they really needed.
(2) Lawrence negotiated a very shrewd deal. Nice recovery after the disastrous deal with the armor.
(3) Looks like Lawrence adds another name to his telephone book - after scratching Chloe's name off the list. Lawrence, I'd advise you to be a little more discreet from now on - especially with Horo still around.

lol, thanks. But do you have any idea on the exact monetary figures?
It seems to me that the producers couldn't decide on exactly how much gold there were, so they used different values in different parts of the episode.
Gold smuggled ranges from 100-600 rumario coins (lying to Nora), out of an intended 1000
10x profit = 1000-6000 (lying to Nora)
Lawerence tells Lemario to give him 50x 10years of gold + debt of an unknown amount to Lawerence's guild, in exchange for Lawerence's 1000 rumario gold coins worth of smuggled gold.

well as far as I understood.. they were going to smuggle 600 gold (worth 6000 profit), but since Lemario couldn't get the full sum of money, and thus could buy only 100 (worth 1000 profit) he saw that the profit wouldn't be enough so they decided to trick Lawrence..
As to why Lawrence lied to Nora - maybe not to discourage her and test her faithfulness?
when striking the end deal with Lemario, who knew that there was only 1000 worth of gold, lawrence asked for half of it (500 but payed in 10 years time) to be assigned to Lawrence's guild, leaving the rest to reestablish Lemarios company.
The giuld payed lawrence some money for this deal, thus allowing him to repay all his depts..
that's about it I guess, at least how I understood..

If the 50x 10 years gold was all transferred to the guild, would Lawerence get all the money or would he have to pay a fee to his guild?
Lawerence's guild master said something about Lawerence able to turn debt into profit after 10 years, so I assume Lawerence gets most of the money. So the 50x 10 was transferred to Lawerence's guild, then the guild master decides to buy 30 worth of gold, then waits 2 years and buys 100 worth of gold?

ok.. so as far as I understood the deal could be looked at as smth similar (but not exactly the same) as a modern bond.. lemario assigned the income to the guild. and the guild bought that deal from Lawrence, for 30 gold (so as to have proof that Remario must pay them). As for the 100 gold I guess it's just a bonus if the deal is real (lawrence was also surprised to recieve it).
what concernes the income over time.. I think that 50 gold/year will be transfered to the GUILD, but Lawrence will get some part of it since he was the one who brought the deal (or maybe it was stated in the contract that he will get part of the gold).
Correct me if I'm missing smth ^_^

Neither the debt nor the claim are described in detail in anime because it is confusing.
In the light novel, the amount of money of the debt and the claim is described as follows.
Incidentally, 1 Lumione is the amount of money which does not have trouble in living for three months. (Is it equivalent to about 4000 dollars?)
Lawrence's property (Unit:Lumione)
1. 50(spice)
2. Armors (worthless) - [47 and 3/4 (debt)]
3. Before smuggling the gold: 500 Lumione IOU
4. After smuggling the gold: 130 (cash) - Expenses = 50 (cash)
The items of expenses
Lawrence -> Jacob : 20 (The apology to the Lowen Trading Guild)
-> sheep butchery : 10 (Hush money)
-> creditors : 30 (The apology included)
-> Nora : 20
The incomes which Lawrence got for this smuggling are 130 Lumione, and it is all.
Since there was a risk of Remerio company going bankrupt again within ten years, Lawrence sold a 500 Lumione IOU to Lowen Trading Guild at the cheap price.
After all, Lawrence's property was recovered to the same amount of money as he got in Pattsio.
Remerio company's property (Unit:Lumione)
It is unknown how much the debt of Remerio company was.
1. Hidden property - [The debt by arms dealings.(about 900?)]
2. 1000 (gold -> cash) + Hidden property - [100 (purchase fund for gold)] - [The debt by arms dealings.(about 900?)] - 500 (The debt for ten years) = Hidden property - 500 (The debt for ten years)
Details of a 500 Lumione IOU
1st year's payment : 10
2nd year's payment : 20
3rd year's payment : 30
10th year's payment : 100
Total 550 Lumione
The debt by arms dealings might be less to rebuild the Remerio company.

maybe it's the difference between anime and LN, just in the anime the boss of the guilds headquarters told that lawrence "will still be able to collect 10 years of payments from Remerio" [16:23, ep 13].
If your description is correct then these wrods are either translated wrong, or some other mistake was made..

Just the thought of something like that made me feel very VERY uncomfortable... I choose to believe she only bowed down and discarded her pride.... still I don't like it when editors/writers don't put highly visible clues to such ambiguous situations... I know that there might have been some dirt on her knees but it went through so fast I didn't notice it ... even after watching it 3 times ... gotta go frame by frame I guess (was watching with my portable video player creative zen W)

May have been a while since I saw the episode, but do remember some dirt on her her knees. Since they didn't delve too far thought that was enough to signify what happened.

yeap... I am now glad that after watching this episode on my TV I was able to see the dirt on her knees....... I was watching with my zen vision W which has a wide screen but is kinda small and makes it hard to notice these lil but important details...
I was just kinda anxious because Horo is one of those Top Female Characters that you put WAAAAAYYY UP there against any other female lead and the thought of something bad happening to her was troubling .. I am glad that was not the case.....

Well, when i first watched this episode I also thought something really bad happened to Horo which really made me uncomfortable but then after some thinking, it should just be her kneeling to the wolves to admit defeat or weakness, since there was that scene with dirt/blood on her knees.
There is also the overlooked reaction from Lawrence, who says according to the anime subs "Don't tell me, infront of them you...". Although this reaction is quite serious i think its only due to the fact that Lawrence understands how much pride it cost Horo. If what happened to Horo was actually something really bad like the above mentioned cruelties that i do not wish to repeat i would think that Lawrence's reaction would be much more than a simple "masaka".
I'm not sure if the light novels cover this part in detail as i'm stuck on volume1 Chapter 4 "remembering the friend" scene until the translations are finished, which I hope will happen soon! Thanks Barbs, Judge and Duncan for all the translations so far and keep up the good work.

Just finished the last episode for season 1. I felt it was rush for a last episode, but I don't care, because I know there a OVA + second season out there already. LOL
I don't know what was Horo problem, the most damage Enik could of done, was hurt her pride by doing what most dogs do. Humping her leg lolz
Hopefully we get more dog on dog action later on. Base on Horo human forum and the young wolf, the young wolf looks much bigger than her wolf form. Too bad no wolf language translator. XD
Hearty series!

Where do I even start with this trailer for The Baby, a 1973 cult classic about a gigantic baby that looks like a regular man? The crazy hammy acting? The insane premise (which is really, if I'm not mistaken, the same as a particularly late nightish Will Ferrell skit from SNL)? The constant, shrieking violins? The fact that the trailer basically spoils the entire movie?
Maybe all of those things. Anyway, watch it. I promise your life will be just that much better once you've finished. Or worse. Wait screw it, I make no promises. You should still watch it, though.
Everyone ready for the weekend? What are you going to be playing? Anyone got a Wii U coming? (I'm on the waiting list.) Any other plans? I think I am gonna see Skyfall finally. (I may have said that last weekend, too.)
Feel free to talk about that, or anything else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have a great weekend, one and all.

Raid on north Indian village turns violent, 1 dead
SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Villagers in northern India threw stones at police and soldiers searching their homes for weapons used in recent communal violence, leading to a clash that killed one person, police said Thursday.
Security forces responded to attack by residents of Khara village in Uttar Pradesh by hitting back with batons, and one man died from head injuries, senior police official Arun Kumar said.
Violent clashes between the region's Hindu and Muslim communities have left 41 people dead since Saturday. Calm has mostly been restored in Muzaffarnagar and two other affected districts, and authorities eased a curfew, allowing people to move freely for five hours on Wednesday.
The village searched Wednesday night was in a fourth district, Baghpat.
Police said they found five ammunition cartridges for an AK-47, but no weapon.
Uttar Pradesh was at the heart of some of India's worst communal clashes in December 1992, after a Hindu mob razed the 16th century Babri mosque in Ayodhya.

Anthony Allen's first emotion was disappointment.
He had grown up idolizing Ricky Williams. As a high school running back from Florida, Allen watched Williams' every move during his time with the Miami Dolphins. One of the best parts about Allen's rookie season, one in which his opportunities were essentially confined to practice, was just being around Williams on a daily basis.
Allen is going to miss that, even though Williams' surprise retirement earlier this offseason could lead to exactly what the running back has been seeking: an opportunity to occupy a key role with the Ravens as Ray Rice's primary backup.
"It was a bittersweet moment. You never want to see a guy like Ricky go. He was my favorite running back coming up, but him leaving kind of does open up an opportunity for me," Allen said last night after participating in Torrey Smith's charity basketball game at Stafford High School in Virginia. "Whatever happens in free agency and the draft, it doesn't matter because I'm going to go out there and be Anthony Allen and play Ravens' football."
Most Ravens' fans know very little about Allen, a seventh-round draft pick last year who started his collegiate career at Louisville and ended it at Georgia Tech. The 23-year-old was inactive for the Ravens' final 13 games, and struggled for a good part of the campaign with a hamstring injury. In the five games that he did play, Allen was mostly used on special teams, getting just three total carries for eight yards in the Ravens' blowout of the St. Louis Ramsin Week 3.
Even though he struggled to get on the field, Allen said that the lessons that he did learn about being a professional and being prepared and being an NFL running back were extremely valuable, and set him up well for this coming season.
"I have a year under my belt. I know the system. I know protections, I know the lines, I know the passes. It's just a matter of me going out there and playing," he said. "It's a blessing just to be here, to be in Baltimore, playing with the guys that we play with, having the coaches. I've been working hard this offseason. I'm ready to get back in with the guys and try and get a [championship] next year."
At the owners meetings on Tuesday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh acknowledged that the team probably will add a veteran running back at some point this offseason. They have only three on the active roster: Rice, who could hold out if he doesn't get a long-term extension before training camp, Allen and Damien Berry, a second-year player who spent all of last season on the practice squad.
"Anthony Allen goes from third [running back to] potentially No. 1 if something happens," Harbaugh said. "Every backup player is an injury away, a play away from being the guy. We think a lot of him, we think a lot of Damien Berry. We think they're going to have very good seasons, but we've got to look at some insurance, too. We've got to have more than two running backs on our roster, so we'll add some guys."
The free agent running market has been extremely slow to develop. Among the players still available are Joseph Addai, Cedric Benson, Ryan Grant, LaDainian Tomlinson and Cadillac Williams. The Ravens have less than $2 million in salary cap space and they badly need to bolster their offensive line, but very few running backs are finding much money available in free agency, meaning they should be able to get a team-friendly deal for a veteran at some point for training camp.
However, owner Steve Bisciotti, general manager Ozzie Newsome and Harbaugh have all said this offseason that Allen will get every opportunity to contribute.
"I already have that motivation. I was drafted in the seventh round and I still have that chip on my shoulder. I barely played in an NFL game besides special teams, so it's definitely motivation for me," Allen said. "It's a blessing that the coaches trust me, the owner trusts me. It just shows that if you continue to put in the hard work, your opportunity will come and you'll get a chance to shine. That's what I'm trying to do."

Most women who undergo hysterectomies are left with multi-inch incisions above the pubic hair line. But a new case report in the Journal of Minimal Access Surgery found that robots, using a three-dimensional view and precise "chopstick" arm movements, can perform the same surgery using only a single point of entry, thus leaving no scars. Technology!
"It's like an extension of your own hand being inside the patient," Dr. John R. Lue, Chief of the Medical College of Georgia Section of General Obstetrics and Gynecology at Georgia Health Sciences University, who authored the report, said of the robots' smooth moves. "You can see the anatomy much clearer. I can see each blood vessel streaming blood and where your nerves are. You can see the ureter much clearer."
The only downside is that the robotic technique is trickier to learn; according to Science Daily, "physicians essentially work in reverse since the single point of entry requires the chopstick approach that leaves the right hand doing what the left typically would." But if I could figure out how to play the right-handed guitar controller that comes with Guitar Hero even though I'm left-handed, I have faith that doctors can handle the challenge, especially since the single-incision robotics technique is also being used for prostate cancer and gallbladder disease surgeries, kidney transplants, and even to put a stitch in a woman's cervix to prevent premature delivery. Robots: they're the future.

Wanted: Strong, fast, smart, healthy offensive linemen.
This Dawgs now have NINE non-senior wide receivers on the roster, and we have four non-senior tight ends on the roster. Next year, two more WRs and two more TEs on committed.
Unfortunately, the Dawgs have only 1 non-senior offensive tackle on the roster yesterday after true freshman John Miller walked away from football (Ugasports.com premium).
Miller's departure adds even greater frustration to the offensive line recruiting problems of Callaway's tenure. Ted Kian has a solid take on the situation. My thoughts below.
So where are the tackles? The answer...apparently we didn't recruit any.
-- Josh Davis, redshirting, is the kid whose high school coach commented after learning that he commited to UGA that he didn't see Davis contributing for 2-3 years.
-- Highly regarded offensive line prospect Kiante Tripp is redshirting this year as a defensive end.
-- Chris Davis, also redshirting, is practicing at Guard. Last I heard, he weighed about 270 lbs.
-- Alleged 5 Star OT prospect Clifton Geathers (Hargrave) looks to be more of a promising defensive end prospect for Georgia, and that's what he's playing in prep school.
-- Elite OL prospect Justin "Bean" Anderson (Hargrave) says Georgia wants him to play Guard.
-- That means we're banking on JUCOs (that haven't committed) or True Freshmen to play at least one offensive tackle spot next year. The other OT spot will likely be manned by Chester Adams (who can't possible be a downgrade from Inman).
Well surely we recruited OTs in the past few years right?
-- In 2005, we signed one offensive lineman. Center Ian Smith.
-- In 2004, we signed two offensive linemen. Chester Adams (OG/OT) and Seth Watts (OG)
-- In 2003, we signed several offensive linemen. But the only tackles we signed were Tommy Gainous, Ken Shackleford (who we promptly wasted his Redshirt year so he could protect on extra points), Trey Chandler and James Lee. Lee never visited Athens during the recruiting process. Is it any wonder that he got homesick or restless and left after 18 or so months? Gainous and Trey Chandler were ruled physically unable to perform within a year.
-- So...in the face of obvious and critical needs for offensive tackles that had existed for more than two years....we signed in 2006:
- 3 offensive linemen with grades that would get them no where near Athens for at least a year (Anderson, Geathers and Ben Harden). Currently, it looks like none of those kids will be playing tackle. Hopefully, that will change.
- A kid barely over 16 years old with a bad shoulder in John Miller.
- A potential "project" in Josh Davis
- 2 promising guard prospects that weighed around 260 lbs each.
- A promising OT that is playing defensive end. A position where we do have depth.
We're not in the position we're in with offensive linemen because we're unlucky.
We're in it because some combination of Neil Callaway, Rodney Garner and Mark Richt have been doing a lousy job of evaluating talent, transcripts and health of Offensive Tackle prospects while doing a questionable job of managing scholarships allotment.
The good news
Callaway does a good job of coaching up what he gets CONSIDERING the quality of the talent that he has brought on. And, Richt/Garner and the rest of the staff do a very good job of recruiting at all other positions.
That said, you can't look at the allocation of scholarships across the wide receivers, tight ends and even fullbacks and say that our recruitment of offensive linemen -- particularly offensive tackles -- makes any sense whatsoever.
Recruiting does look promising for 2007. Particularly at offensive tackle. But you can't fix the mistakes of the past 3-4 years in one year. Next year's team looks really interesting...except at OT where it'll take a White Knight Juco to save us. If you're a high school offensive lineman, Georgia has an opening for you.

The 2014 Taunton city little league championship was already going to be special this summer as this marks the 60th anniversary of the storied series.
And this year's edition got off to a memorable start as the Taunton West champion Orioles outlasted the Taunton East champion Tigers, 4-2, in nine innings in Game 1 of the their best-of-three championship series on Sunday night at the TELL Complex on Middleboro Avenue.
Taunton East has won the last three city crowns and the Orioles will be looking to break that trend tonight when the teams play game two at the TWLL Complex on Norton Avenue.
After the Tigers pitched around and walked Oriole standout Noah Leonard with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, catcher Sean Bunker crushed a ball to the fence in right field to score Leonard and give the Orioles a 3-2 lead. Bunker then scored an insurance run for his team when Tommy Domal smacked a double to the fence in left field, making it 4-2.
"I was just trying to make contact and put the ball in play somewhere," Bunker said, following the win. "This was a huge win for us. Now we get to go home, where we have the advantage because we know our field. We have won one game, but we still have to get one more to win the championship."
Oriole hurler Jeremy Chappell allowed a lead-off bloop single to Jason Ferreira in the bottom of the ninth, but then retired the next three batters in order to close out the win.
The Orioles looked to have won the first game of the city series in regulation, taking a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning. But Tiger star Andrew Gomes led off the bottom of the sixth by crushing a two-strike pitch into the netting on top of the batting cage in center field for a game-tying solo home run.
Leonard pitched a terrific game for the Orioles, going six-plus innings and allowing two runs. Chappell took over for Leonard following the Gomes home run and pitched four scoreless innings for the victory.
The Orioles took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third when Leonard chased home Chappell with a double to the fence in center field.
The Tigers tied the game in the bottom of the fourth when Gomes singled and went to second on a single by Matt Ferrara. Gomes then stole third base and sprinted home following a throwing error on the play.
The Orioles retook the lead with a run in the top of the sixth. Domal doubled to right field to lead off the frame. He went to third on a ground out and scored on a fielder's choice grounder by A.J. Lewis.
"These are two evenly-matched teams and this game was a credit to both sides," Oriole manager Kevin Gobin said. "We were able to wait them out and get the win. It was huge to get the win on this side of town. We won the battle tonight, but we know we will get another tough battle from them tomorrow night."
In a pre-game ceremony, the players and coaches from both teams were introduced as were the umpires. The Taunton Police Department Honor Guard presented the colors with Karen Christofi of the Southeastern Massachusetts Festival Chorus singing the national anthem.
The first pitch was thrown out by Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr., along with state Sen. Marc Pacheco, state representatives Shauna O'Connell, Patricia Haddad and Keiko Orrall.

Strategy shifts toward use of GSA schedule
The State Department has canceled its $2.1 billion Hybrid IT Services for State 2 contract, known as HITSS 2. Instead it'll issue a small business contract using the General Services Administration's IT schedule.
The first HITSS contract was a small business contract held by 20 companies. For each of the last four years more than $200 million in task orders went through the vehicle. More than $1 billion has been spent throughout the life of contract, which was awarded in 2007, according to data from the market research firm Deltek.
In its short announcement, the State Department didn't explain its rationale for the change in strategy.
Among the top contractors on HITSS is Creative Information Technology Inc. with $286.2 million in task orders, AGTECH with $180.3 million, and Pragmatics with $131.9 million. They were the only companies with more than $100 million in task orders, according to Deltek.
According to the statement of work included when the presolicitation was released in August, the contract was to be used to supply people and services in areas such as systems and software analysis and development; document analysis, development of systems design documents; computer programming; computer center operations; configuration management; software maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting; computer security; technical writing; training; and word processing.
The notice of cancelation did not include a time frame for when the State Department would begin its new competition via the GSA schedule. The notice only says "at a future date."

Next up in our series is Simon Bloch's forecast for 2014. Simon is Sr. Director of Samsung Electronics R&D, in mobile consumer wireless devices.
"The future of electronics is looking bright! Market forecasters predict growth in literally every category of electronic markets ranging from smart mobile and wearable devices, appliances and sensors connected to a network of Internet of Everything to smart connected cars and cities.
In today's electronics products, sophisticated hardware is becoming insufficient for product success. Many layers of stacked software control the underlying hardware and determine a product's competitiveness via functionality, performance, power and cost. And while there is always going to be a need to create new semiconductor components and IC companies will need EDA tools, EDA vendors need to expand the view of Electronics and treat software stack as an integrated part of EDA.
There are many opportunities to come up with products in the software stack space around Linux/Android operating systems and in the area of hardware virtualization. Just last month, CyanogenMod, a company that provides Android based software widely used in the mobile industry, secured $23 million in funding from top tier VCs. CyanogenMod is a software stack product and contains many features not found in Google versions of the operating system.

April 19, 2007
WORCESTER, Mass. - Clark University scored five runs in the ninth inning off previously undefeated hurler Jay Turner as the Cougars rallied for a 9-4 victory against MIT in a key NEWMAC tilt. Originally scheduled for Cambridge, Thursday's game was moved to Worcester following heavy rains earlier in the week.
After spotting MIT (8-9, 4-5 NEWMAC) a four-run lead after three, Clark (10-15, 3-6) responded with nine unanswered runs. Trailing 4-2 in the seventh, junior Cole Osburn delivered a one-out RBI double to plate Gunner Hagstrom, who led off the frame with a walk. In the eighth, a one-out walk set up the game's tying run as senior Michael Pritchard smacked a double that was misplayed in center field. The extra base off the miscue enabled Hagstrom to cross the plate and knot the game at four heading into the ninth.
Clark, which scored seven of its nine runs on the afternoon after two outs, opened its last at bat with Hagstrom reaching after getting hit by a pitch. After a strike out, Osburn delivered his third double of the game. An intentional walk loaded the bases for lead-off hitter Matt Adams, who brought the game-winning run across the plate with a single. Junior Joe Silva and senior Nicholas Tapper followed with back-to-back two-run singles to break the game open and put an emphatic end to a three-game losing skid for the Cougars.
Sophomore Thomas Phillips powered most of Tech's attack on Thursday. After keying the first run of the game in the opening frame, Phillips crushed a three-run homerun to deep left center in the third to give the Cardinal and Gray its early advantage.
Steven Nunez finished 3-for-4 at the plate and scored two runs, while senior Jason Witzberger closed 2-for-4 with a run scored. MIT's 2-3-4 hitters combined to collect six of the Engineers' seven hits and accounted for all four runs.
Osburn served as Clark's top offensive threat, finishing 3-for-4 with three doubles and two RBI. Hagstrom reached base four times, adding a walk and a hit by pitch to his two-hit performance at the plate.
Junior Miles Whitlock earned the conference win after pitching the last three innings without yielding a hit. Turner, who entered the game for MIT in the eighth, was hit with his first loss of the campaign after a 4-0 start. Nunez started the game on the hill for the Engineers and pitched five solid innings, but was picked up after the fifth as Clark sliced the Tech lead in half during the top of the stanza.

May 3, 2010
One hot day at the gym last year, I asked how much a bottle of orange juice cost.
"$4.50," I was told.
"$4.50 for a little bottle of juice?"
"Ma'am, this IS L. A. Fitness," she said.
I headed for the water fountain.
On the way to the fountain, I found a penny on the floor, bingo, an idea! True, it would take more than a year to find enough money on the floor for that bottle of juice, but heck, I've got time.
Within a week I'd accumulated 17 cents. Not bad. I put the coins in a bowl on my night table. The weather had turned warm. My fingers were swollen from the heat, and my wedding ring was digging into my finger and cutting off circulation to my brain. I wondered if that happened to other people. I wet my finger, wiggled the ring off and put it near the coin jar.
May 5: I found a dime in the Post Office parking lot. Now I was up to 27¢. My quest proceeded as follows:
May 12: A nickel, then a penny at Acme = 33¢.
Walking around without a wedding ring was odd. I felt the imprint on my finger, but when I looked, there was no ring. How long would the impression last, I wondered? Feeling but not having?
May 13: Found a penny at the Farmer's Market = 34¢.
May 15: A quarter at the pharmacy and a dime at the gym = 69¢.
May 16: Husband Hugh and son Andrew found three pennies at Seven-Eleven. Should I count them in my coffee fund? We had a family meeting near the Slurpee machine: Hugh and Andrew both said" Yes" because if I'd been alone, I would have seen the pennies. I said "No" because I didn't actually find them. Majority ruled = 72¢.
May 19: Found a penny at the library = 73¢. Found a nickel in Acme parking lot. A gray-colored coin on a asphalt surface is tricky, but I prevailed = 78¢.
May 20: No coins for a few days. Bummer. Coincidentally, I can't find my wedding ring, either. It's not on the night table, behind the night table or in the vacuum cleaner bag. It's just GONE. How could that happen?
May 22: My luck shifted. I found a dime at Seven-Eleven, a penny at the Post Office and a penny at the gym = 90¢. I'll be drinking fresh bench-pressed orange juice before I know it.
May 23: Saw two pennies on the ground outside Acme. Both coins were close to a man collecting money for a charity. I picked up one penny and put it in my pocket on my way into Acme. The man watched me. I picked up the other penny on the way out of Acme. Should I put it in the collection can? I decided to be merciless. I'm on a crusade, too. Life is full of dilemmas. 92¢.
The sign I saw on Ridge Avenue made my decision for me. This was the place. I worked too hard to find my coins. I would never spend them on orange juice. I parked the car and walked into Natural Nails, and used my money for a pedicure.
I still can't find my wedding ring. I'll pretend my husband is my boyfriend. Cool!
May 24: Hugh, Andrew and I were at the gym. I spotted two dimes under the leg press machine, but the support bar was too low, and I couldn't get them. Hugh and Andrew drove home together.
A man spoke to me at the gym. "I see that your friends left," he said.
"Friends?" I said, drawing a blank. "Oh, those guys? They're not my friends; that's my husband and my son!"
He said, "Oh," and simply walked away. Had I been hit on? Because I wasn't wearing a ring? I'd better get one.
May 25: Unbelievable bad luck today. I found a five-dollar bill near an empty storefront on Germantown Avenue. I looked around; no one was nearby. The good news was that I had enough orange juice money. The bad news was that the chase was over.
I took all my found money with me to the gym but couldn't bring myself to spend $4.50 on a thimbleful of orange juice. It was on the bicep curl machine that I thought, "I really should take that money and put it toward a wedding ring. Really. Even if it takes another year to find the money. That's the right thing to do; isn't it?"
There was a quarter on the floor under the sit-ups board. What to do? I picked it up.
Jan. 31 (eight months later): I took the "findings" to the bank this afternoon and had them counted. I had $12.18, which I put in an envelope and carried it around with me, just in case.
Memorial Day, 2011: Not much has changed in a year. After a workout, my muscles were sore, my feet hurt, and I still had no wedding ring.
The sign I saw on Ridge Avenue made my decision for me. This was the place. I worked too hard to find my coins. I would never spend them on orange juice. I parked the car and walked into Natural Nails, and used my money for a pedicure.
I'll find a cheap ring on eBay.
