I don't know what 'contrastive analysis' is, but I don't think that disqualifies me from answering - as I have a fair idea of what a hypothesis is.
If you are discussing a theory, you will need to refer to the hypothesis.
In practice, you don't need to. If you decide to use contrastive analysis - or any other system - you can just do it.

Since it was raining cats and dogs all morning long and I couldn't get out to work in my vegetable garden, I decided to clean out the refrigerator and the freezer. But. . .when a chef "cleans out" it usually means another dynamite recipe is about to be conceived. And it was!
I took the bag of pre-breaded okra, washed off most of the breading, defrosted the plastic container of mirapoix (onions, celery, bell pepper, shallots, parsley, and garlic), thawed out the 2-pound bag of King Crab Claws and cut them in chunks, defrosted the 3-pound bucket of 21-25 peeled shrimp I found in the back of the freezer, melted down a stick of butter, sauteed the veggies in a 5-quart stainless steel gumbo pot, dropped in a quart Ziploc of peeled 21-25 shrimp plus the kingcrab claws, poured in six cups of rich seafood stock, and seasoned the entire pot with just enough of my Seafood Seasoning to bring tears to a grown man's eyes! An hour's worth of "slow cooking" after all this went down, Mary Clare and I sat down at the kitchen table while the rain poured outside and. . .well y'all know the rest of the story! Ummmmm--now I could use a nap! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Dining out this weekend?Well the inspectors at the Hamilton County Health Department had a great week reporting. No failing grades among the more than 18 restaurants inspected.
However, before you head to one restaurant in Red Bank, it's best to check their score of a 83 at Kim's Southern Restaurant. Remember a failing grade in any score lower than a 70.Inspectors found roaches in the food prep area, food being stored on the floor, the freezer and oven need a good cleaning and the walls and floors in need of repair. Also, waste water was being dumped out the back door.The high score of the week is a three-way tie: a 95 at the Krystal in Soddy Daisy, Gin Gin's on Signal Mountain and 212 Market in downtown Chattanooga.Great work from all those employees!According to Chief Inspector Jack Falcon, more than 300 public pools will be visited in the coming weeks.
Remember, if you have any complaints about a restaurant, hotel or motel, daycare center or swimming pool, you are welcome to call the Hamilton County Health Department Complaint Line at (423) 209-8110 or feel free to email me.Enjoy your meal!

How broken is the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA)? Well, this anecdote may be emblematic: The public utility, whose management is widely viewed as discredited by a mediocre response to Hurricane Sandy, is still sending bills to a homeowner whose dwelling burned down in the conflagration at Breezy Point during the storm.
"Firefighter Kieran Burke, whose house in Breezy Point burned down during Hurricane Sandy, is still getting bills from the Long Island Power Authority, whose own negligence possibly started the fires in the first place," the Gothamist reports ("Man Whose House Burned Down During Sandy Still Gets BIlls From LIPA," by Max Rivlin-Nadler). "LIPA, which is basing his electricity bill off of last year's meter readings, has been sending Burke bill after bill, even tracking him down to a New Jersey P.O. Box as his family moved from hotel to hotel in the wake of the superstorm." (Icing on the cake: a monthly charge of $3.01 for "efficiency and renewables.")
LIPA itself, however, may not be long for this world. Announcing "LIPA is broken," New York Governor Andrew Cuomo proposed in mid-May to freeze the company's rates for three years and hand its operations over to New Jersey-based Public Service Enterprise Group, Eyewitness News 7 reported ("Cuomo wants PSE&G to takeover LIPA," by Kristin Thorne).
In a letter to Long Island business owners, Cuomo campaigned for support for his idea, reports Newsday ("On LIPA overhaul plan, Cuomo seeks business support," by Yancey Roy). The mailing asks owners to sign on to a letter urging lawmakers to back Cuomo's plan, saying, "For years, LIPA has not worked for Long Island's business community."
But not all lawmakers are convinced. There's a control issue, Newday reports ("Assembly Dems question Cuomo's LIPA plan," by Mark Harrington): assembly counsel analysis found that "the legislation would effectively remove the oversight powers of the state attorney general and the office of the state comptroller to review and approve LIPA contracts, while diminishing the new powers of the Public Service Commission and removing local decision-making about programs such as clean energy."
Lawmakers want the newly reorganized utility placed under the authority of the state Public Service Commission, which has recently gained increased power over management of other utilities in the state. But the Cuomo administration says that such a move would violate covenants in bonds already sold by LIPA, requiring a major refinancing that could boost the company's operating costs and result in higher charges to customers. "In a perfect world that sounds wonderful -- except that it would result in a massive rate increase for Long Island ratepayers," said one official. "It's a nonstarter." Said Cuomo spokesman Matthew Wing: "Governor Cuomo's legislation seeks to freeze rates, not raise them."

The Geological Society of America (GSA) is a professional Earth science society with members in more than 95 countries. Through meetings, publications, and programs, GSA promotes the geosciences in the service of humankind. The organization's mission and vision statements embrace "stewardship of the earth" and green power is an excellent opportunity for GSA to demonstrate this commitment in a tangible way.
GSA purchases renewable energy credits (RECs), with the help of a grant, to cover the organization's entire electricity usage. Significant energy cost savings have accrued to GSA since the switch to green power.
"We are grateful for the local funding that made this first investment in renewable energy possible," said GSA Executive Director Jack Hess. "The Society is proud to demonstrate ongoing environmental leadership in alignment with our core values."

A suspect is on the loose after shooting a man at a restaurant near Arizona Avenue and Frye Road.
Police said a suspect walked up to a man sitting at a table at Serrano's Mexican Food Restaurant. The men started yelling at each other and a suspect pulled out a gun and shot the man multiple times.
Officers are still looking for the suspect, who is desribed as a large Black or Hispanic man in his mid to late 20's and was last seen wearing a red shirt and black shorts.
The victim is in stable condition and is expected to be alright.
Police are still investigating what exactly caused the shooting but said they believe the men knew each other.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - The University of Georgia is trying to raise at least $1 billion by 2020.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports that a so-called "quiet" phase of the fundraising effort has been going on about 18 months.
Officials are trying to ramp up the effort to bring in additional money. The goal is to offset declining state support.
The money will go to campus infrastructure, faculty support and research, and improving the student experience.
The university says donations averaged about $109 million a year over the past eight years. To reach $1 billion, the yearly average would need to grow to $125 million.
Leaders hope to raise even more. A fundraising drive a few years ago had a goal of bringing in $500 million but eventually raise more than $650 million.

Illini Prosthetic Technologies (IPT), NFP
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 - $18,800
While approximately 80% of the world's amputees live in developing nations, only 2% of the people in that segment have access to appropriate prosthetic care and rehabilitation. This is because developing the custom-fit socket for the prosthetic is extremely labor-intensive and expensive. The socket must be fabricated by a trained prosthetist after taking measurements of the individual amputee, and typically costs around $5,000 to produce.
Illini Prosthetic Technologies (IPT) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2008 by engineering students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to develop and deliver an affordable prosthetic arm. The paradigm behind IPT's below-elbow prosthesis is the elimination of the custom-fit in the socket. This allows for a rapid-fitting, off-the-shelf device that is both affordable and appropriate for the developing world. See the current prototype at http://vimeo.com/33997864.

Select Area...
Rio Quemado Falls
The Truchas Peaks area of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Northern New Mexico offers a high abundance of quality, secluded hiking and mountain adventure. While most of the activity in the area is day hiking and backpacking to the highest peak in the area, "South" Truchas Peak (13,102'), I've heard of at least one Fifth-class rock route and did see the potential for some more obscure, likely-not-to-be-repeated rock climbing on slabs between Middle Truchas Peak (13,066') and North Truchas Peak (13,024').
Getting There
There are many ways to access the Truchas Peaks area. Possibly the shortest approach is from the west at the Rio Quemado Falls Trailhead. From the north, access is from the Trampas Lakes Trailhead or the Santa Barbara Campground. The peaks can also be accessed from the south from the upper Pecos River valley.

FYI: 'Lang/Lit From A to BA' UK Workshop 7th July 2012
|Linguistic Field(s):
Discipline of Linguistics
|FYI Body:
'Lang/Lit From A to BA: A Higher Education Academy workshop on
Lang/Lit work at school and at university'
Hendon Campus, Middlesex University, 10am-4pm, 7 July 2012
Organised by Billy Clark (Middlesex University) and Andrea Macrae
(Oxford Brookes University)
Participation is free but attendance must be confirmed in advance. To
book a place or to ask for further information, contact Billy Clark:
This workshop aims to explore lang/lit provision at school and at
university, and to consider issues around the transition from work at A
level to work on BA programmes. The workshop will develop
understanding of activities in both sectors. It will also explore student
needs and expectations, and generate ideas for how to meet them.
The day will consist of a number of sessions led by speakers who will
include A Level examiners, university academics, teachers and
students who have worked on lang/lit in both contexts. The sessions
will be interactive with opportunities for all participants to contribute,
including round table style discussions, and 'hands-on' work exploring
classroom activities.
Topics which will be discussed include:
- school and university uptake of courses
(including a national overview and discussion of issues around
availability, popularity, obstacles and opportunities)
- lang/lit at school and at university
(kinds of activities, similarities and differences)
- student expectations and reflections
(what do students make of lang/lit work in both contexts? To what
extent is the integration of language and literature successful?)
- ideas for future developments
(marketing and meeting student needs)
Further details will be available soon.

Voice Recorders in the Classroom
Original post made by Ellen on Jul 24, 2008
I think all classrooms should have a recording device that we can be reviewed if a student reports unprofessional conduct in the classroom. It would also benefit teachers when there's a dispute regarding a classroom incident. We should be able to hear what is said in the classrooms.
A few teachers speak in a derogatory manner towards the children, then deny it.
Some teachers frequently yell at students, which is wrong and unprofessional. Some teachers shame students. I personally heard a Kindergarten teacher ask her students, when they were confused about what to do, "Did you all leave your brains home this morning?"
If you don't have proof, if only the children are witnesses, the teacher denies what they said or did, and in my experience, the principal sides with the teacher.
Our children are vulnerable, there needs to be some way of knowing what's going on in the classroom, or I should say, proving what goes on in the classroom.
To all you wonderful teachers who are offended, it's not about you. (It would be great if wonderful teachers were more personally secure.)
I'd like to ask any students reading this if there ever was an incident in the classroom that they wish they could have proved took place.

While it may be acceptable to some, the ACLU/Teacher's Union would have a field day with your suggestion......
on Jul 24, 2008 at 8:08 pm
What a horrible idea.
But while we are at it, let's make them video cameras. Not only should the teacher be viewed and recorded, but all of the Johnny's and Susie's too. Therefore all behaviors in the classroom can be duly recorded and viewed and discussed and considered.
The door swings both ways.

Do you have a full deck? President Bush might like your idea but I think that you have a problem.

Here's how key Vikings rookies performed during Monday's loss to the Packers.
QB Christian Ponder: He had the worst game of his young career. The Packers blitzed him repeatedly, and he didn't recognize it until it was too late. He had no feel in the pocket and missed some throws. He attacked Charles Woodson too much, as well, and Woodson almost had two interceptions had he been able to hold on to the ball. Ponder was bound to have a poor game sooner or later, and Dom Capers' defense had the right game plan to force it.
TE Kyle Rudolph: He wasn't involved early, as he was targeted only once before the Vikings' final drive of the game. But when he got his opportunities on that final drive, he made the most of them. He made a spectacular one-handed catch, when he snared the nose of the football out of mid-air with two defenders draped over him. Rudolph's talent is apparent, but he's had an inconsistent role in the offense. The Vikings' offense needs more playmakers, and Rudolph could be one if he becomes more involved.
DL Christian Ballard: Ballard had his best game of the season, playing well against the run in his snaps. He did a good job of shedding blocks and pursuing the ballcarrier, even making a good play on James Starks in the backfield for a four-yard loss. Look for his playing time to increase after Monday's strong effort.

Electronic portfolios are a collection of artifacts, accessible electronically. Those artifacts could be term papers, presentations (video, power point, etc.), images, work documents, reflections, blogs, mp3's or any form of digital item used to demonstrate learning or acquired skills.
ePortfolios are becoming quite popular and are used to present your "professional" or digital self to others. ePortfolio systems allow you to maintain a collection of "artifacts" and build various portfolios based on your needs, for example, you may have a ePortfolio for one class, and another ePortfolio for job searches. You own the ePortfolio and can "take it with you" when you leave the University. You can leave it open to the public, or grant access to whomever you choose - even to people outside the university.
Whether you are a student building your ePortfolio or an educator using ePortfolios for teaching and learning please explore the various resources provided below to assist in this endeavor.
What is an ePortfolio?
- An opportunity to represent yourself and your education here at ODU
- A place to collect and save coursework as a record of your skills, achievements and learning A chance to showcase accomplishment and schools work to family and friends
- A tool for creating digital resumes to send to employers A web portal for accessing your work, track your academic growth and plan your career
- A portal that helps connect educational goals with personal experience An electronic resource you can use to apply for transfer and financial aid at your four year school
The sky is the limit! You can create separate ePortfolios for different uses such as a semester spent abroad, an individual class, job application(s), or a specific academic realm you are pursuing. Here are some examples from other Universities:
Virginia Tech, College of Engineering, NSF Grant on Development of an ePortfolio
ePortfolio Tools
There is no "special" system required for creating an ePortfolio. You could use Microsoft Word, or any freely available application to develop and deliver your ePortfolio web page with information and links to artifacts. Many of the current free/paid web sites such as Google, Wix, Weebly or whatever the new one is offer web site building tools that have preconfigured templates for creating an ePortfolio.
How you setup the web site and provide the documents, called artifacts, that you need is the creative aspect of building your professional presence on the web. In addition to controlling how many ePortfolios you have and the information included on them you can also control who can have access to them. All sites provide some form of access control where you can make them public or private or create special accounts with passwords to provide instructors or employers access to your ePortfolios. The links below provide some basic information and examples from common sources to create and present ePortfolios.

Copyright & Fair Use Issues
In the days of Aristotle, Socrates and many of the great teachers, the field of knowledge was the property of mankind. The selling of knowledge was considered a type of sin. Over the course of time this trend reversed itself until the creation of the Stationers Guild and the first "official" copyright laws.
Today the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties are the impetus for much of the current digital copyright laws and amendments in the United States. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is the attempt of U.S. Legislation to implement the treaty obligations and move the nation's copyright laws into a digital age. It criminalizes the production and dissemination of technology devices or services intended to circumvent DRM measures. It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actually infringement of copyright itself.a
You can find an executive summary of the DMCA here along with Information on New DMCA Exemptions.
For institutions of higher education the cardinal portion of the Copyright Act of 1976 is Section 107, the Fair Use provisions. Please review the information currently available about Copyright and Fair Use from the ODU Patricia W. & J. Douglas Perry Library to determine how information can be used in your ePortfolio.
Remember that in a Copyright infringement incident, you must prove fair use. If you are looking for information concerning Copyright you can peruse the following links:
Library of Congress - Copyright Milestones Timeline
Association of Research Libraries - Resources for Teaching Faculty
Associate of Research Libraries - Copyright Timeline
Columbia University Libraries - Copyright Advisory Office
Visual Resources Association - statement of fair use of images for teaching, research and study

It's Friday, headed for a nice weekend…
Weather: Improving. Our area largely missed the narrow line of storms that swept through Alabama on Thursday, and today we'll have sunny skies and a little cooler temps. Highs today will stay in the middle 80s, and tonight's lows will go down to the middle 60s. More of the same on Saturday; rain returns Sunday afternoon.
Thornton guilty on all counts. Curtis Thornton of Warrior was convicted in Jefferson Circuit Court Thursday of four counts of second-degree arson and two lesser charges. A jury of nine women and three men agreed with prosecutors that the former Birmingham Police officer set fire to homes in the Dana Road neighborhood where he lived, as well as to houses in Ensley while on patrol. Each of the arson counts carries a possible prison sentence of as much as 20 years; Thornton will be sentenced in July.
Fatal crash in Pinson. A two-vehicle wreck Thursday afternoon claimed the life of one person and seriously injured two others. The victims, who have not yet been identified, were hurt when their vehicles collided at the intersection of Pinson Valley Parkway and Sweeney Hollow Road just before 2 p.m.
Locust Fork man sentenced for sex crimes. Wade Andrew Underwood Jr., 64, pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree sodomy, two counts of first-degree rape and four counts of sexual abuse of a child under 12 years of age. Underwood was sentenced Thursday to a total of 160 years in prison, according to District Attorney Pamela Casey. He was originally indicted on one count of sodomy in January of last year, but an investigation found three more victims since that time.
Sports: Unfinished business. Thanks to two separate weather delays, first-round play at the U.S. Open golf tournament at Merion Golf Club near Philadelphia was not completed by most golfers. Among those who did finish the round was Phil Mickelson, who apparently suffered no ill effects from a red-eye cross-country flight after seeing his daughter graduate from eighth grade Wednesday night. "Lefty" shot a 3-under-par 67 and is the leader in the clubhouse. Luke Donald is at 6-under after 13 holes, while Tiger Woods is at 2-over through 10 and Masters champion Adam Scott is 2-under, playing in the same threesome with Woods and Rory McIlroy. Play resumes at 7:30 Central Time today… NBA: The Miami Heat's Big Three got their game back on Thursday night, as they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 109-93 to tie the NBA Finals series at two games each. LeBron James scored 33 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Dwayne Wade added 22, Chris Bosh scored 20 and Ray Allen came off the bench for 14. Tim Duncan paced the Spurs with 20. Game 5 is Sunday night in San Antonio, with Game 6 back in Miami on Tuesday.

Greensburg —
Brigadier General Brian Copes of the Indiana National Guard spoke to the Greensburg Rotary Club at its Monday meeting.
General Copes was commander of the Indiana Agribusiness Development Team sent to Khowst Province, Afghanistan in Feb. 2009. His group of 64 soldiers spent a year teaching Afghan farmers about erosion control and how to improve their crop yields.
They also provided vocational training for agricultural extension agents. The team included 15 experts in agronomy, horticulture and irrigation.
Khowst Province is located near the Pakistan border and surrounded by mountains. General Copes described the war zone as being a very difficult environment in which to work. His team was the first of seven teams sent to the area with the fifth team there now.
Coopes described the Afghan farmers as undereducated but eager to learn. With 70 to 80 percent of the Afghan people employed in farming, it is essential for them to learn the skills needed to revitalize their economy.
General Copes was accompanied by Greensburg native Sgt. Melissa McCoy who was part of the ADT's support staff.

FDA requires new warnings on gadolinium-based contrast agents

It was recently reported that Cathy Tyree, a woman in Richmond, Va., had discovered a "lost" photograph of her father in an antique shop. Her father had died in 1976 at age 51 and she was most surprised to find his photo while looking for some furniture to purchase.
Many genealogists have experienced similar coincidences and Henry "Hank" Jones has even written about many of them. His book, "Psychic Roots: Serendipity & Intuition in Genealogy," is based on responses he received from more than 100 noted genealogists around the world who were asked by him if they had ever had such experiences.
Many people who read that book wrote to Jones about their own coincidences and so he later wrote "More Psychic Roots: Further Adventures in Serendipity & Intuition in Genealogy." It is truly amazing the number of persons who have had occurrences over which they had no control, which eventually led to helpful discoveries. Some may call it luck; some, coincidence. Perhaps such discoveries are made with a little "help from above." It is up to each of us to decide.
Each of his books, published by the Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., can be ordered at http://www.genealogical.com or more inexpensively from Jones' website at http://www.hankjones.com/psychic.htm.
Jones has been a professional genealogist since 1965 and is probably best known for his extensive work with Palatine genealogy and his book, "The Palatine Families of New York — 1710." He also has had a career as an actor and entertainer; click on the link to his homepage, which gives details pertaining to his books, CDs and genealogy lectures.
On a personal note, I am pleased to have met him at a recent genealogical meeting and I am a strong believer in being prepared for the unexpected — whether it be a book that lies open on a library table (and has the information being sought), or a family memento that eventually is found in a rummage sale.

NSU Release
BEAUMONT, Texas – Six Northwestern State players scored in double figures, with senior forward DeQuan Hicks piling up a career-best 11 assists to go with 10 points, as the Demons erupted in the second half to put away Lamar 87-67 Saturday in Southland Conference basketball.
Winning for the seventh time in eight games, the Demons improved to 12-12 overall and 8-5 in the Southland. Northwestern shot 53 percent overall and outscored Lamar (3-22, 2-11) 48-24 in the paint.
Brison White and Zeek Woodley led NSU with 15 points. Gary Stewart scored 13 while junior college transfer Ryan King had a career high with his first double-figure output, 12 points. Hicks and Jalan West each scored 10.
West enhanced his NCAA top 10 rankings in assists, with seven, and steals, making three, while turning it over just once. But Hicks' 11 assists, six over his previous career high, were also one more than West has had in any game this season and gave Hicks his ninth double-double of the year.
A 25-8 run early after halftime blew the game open. Stewart drained three straight 3-pointers and King dumped in eight points to fuel the explosion. Up 42-41, the Demons scored nine unanswered and the Cardinals were never able to get closer than eight afterward. NSU's lead ranged between 11 and 21 points in the final 13 minutes, never under 16 in the last five minutes.
"On the fly, our guys made a really nice adjustment defensively in our zone, and we came up with a few steals and got some easy buckets," said NSU coach Mike McConathy. "That was an awesome stretch of pretty basketball, defending, passing, getting in transition and finishing."
Northwestern trailed much of the first half but recovered from a 27-20 deficit with a 10-2 run, and led 39-37 at halftime.
"Lamar was defending, playing hard, making great cuts, and the first half was such a struggle. We weren't as ready to go as necessary but Lamar did a very nice job taking it to us. I'm so pleased with the way we pulled together and played unselfishly, aggressively, and smart to get it in hand after halftime," said McConathy.
The Demons used smothering defense that cooled off a hot-shooting Lamar team. The Cardinals made 53 percent Thursday night in a hard-fought 78-69 loss to league-leading Stephen F. Austin, and sank 12 of their first 20 shots against NSU. They were able to make only 12 of their last 43 shots and fizzled to 38 percent, becoming the sixth foe in the last eight games to shoot no better than 40 percent facing the Demons.
NSU also won the rebounding battle, 42-37, for the fifth time in six games. King, Hicks and West each had six. The Demons, who had 10 turnovers at halftime, lost it only three times afterward.
It was the second of a month-long stretch of five consecutive road games for Northwestern, which plays at SFA next Saturday night and won't be home again until March 6.
BEAUMONT, Texas – The Northwestern State women's basketball team picked up a big 67-60 win over Lamar Saturday on the backs of 17 points from Turdy Armstead and Keisha Lee and 48 percent shooting from the Lady Demons in Southland Conference action at the Montagne Center.
Armstead was 5-of-9 and Lee was 5-of-13 from the field, and both were 7-of-8 from the free throw line in a game that NSU (14-11, 7-6 SLC) led every second. Kourtney Pennywell had 12 points and led the way with nine rebounds.
Lamar, who entered the game in a two-way tie for first place, fell to 14-10 overall and 9-4 in Southland Conference play. The win snapped a 10-game losing streak to Lamar. NSU entered the game in a three-way tie for seventh place.
"I'm just so proud of these kids," said an emotional co-head coach Brooke Stoehr. "They showed some toughness and grit and I am really, really proud of them."
NSU led by seven points with 8:15 to play in the game, and Lamar put together a 9-2 run that tied the game at 55 with 5:35 to play in the game. Armstead finished down the stretch with eight points, one block and one steal. Both Pennywell and Lee finished the stretch with two points apiece.
"That's one of the things I love about this team. Sometimes they are so quick to forget things whether bad or good," said Stoehr. "They tied it up and we could have easily folded and we come down and answered."
After the Lady Cardinals tied the game, the Lady Demons missed a shot and set up for a charge on the other end to force a turnover. Armstead scored a layup on the ensuing possession.
"There were a lot of times when we could've fouled and they fought through," said the second-year coach.
Northwestern State finished the game 21-of-44 from the field and only 2-of-16 from behind the 3-point line. Its defense held Lamar to 38 percent (24-63) from the field and 5-of-24 from long range.
Both teams struggled to hold on to the ball with 21 turnovers from Northwestern State and 20 by Lamar. The Lady Demons were able to gain 30 points off of turnovers, four more than the Lady Cardinals.
LU out rebounded NSU 37-35 and scored 15 second-chance points on 17 offensive rebounds. Northwestern State had 10 offensive boards.
Presley Owens had nine points, Janelle Perez had five, Emily Spector had four, and Chelsea Rogers had three on a 3-pointer. Armstead had six rebounds and Owens, Rogers, and Meredith Graf had five boards.
Dominique Edwards and Shauna Long led LU in points with 15 apiece. Gia Ayers, who fouled out with 25 seconds left, had 13. Edwards had a double-double with 13 rebounds and Alice Robinson had 11 boards.
Northwestern State has Thursday night off and return to the floor for a 4 o'clock tip at Stephen F. Austin on Saturday.

Details are emerging about BYD upcoming model, "Qin." Named after China's first empire, the car is shaping up to be quite groundbreaking on a number of fronts.
The "Qin" plug-in, like its poor-selling cousin, the F3DM, uses BYD's own LiFePo4 battery. The LiFePo4 battery has a high energy density, can withstand up to 4000 charges while still retaining 80% performance, and is environmentally benign as it uses no toxic heavy metals in its manufacture.
In the "Qin," BYD opted for a smaller battery of 10kwh instead of the 16kwh model used on the F3dm. Due to its smaller size and improved design, the new battery is about 50% smaller and lighter than the one used on the F3dm. This reduced size also translates into reduced price, but does come at the expense of a slightly reduced all-electric range. The "Qin" is said to be able to go 50km (31 miles) in all electric mode before the engine kicks in.
Besides more powerful electric motors (110kw), the "Qin" dumps its 1.0L engine in exchange for BYD's own 1.5L turbo-charged direct-injected engine. This allows the car to reach a rumored 185 kph (115 mph) and accelerate 1-100kph (0-60mph) in just 6.9 seconds…a full two seconds faster than the Chevy Volt. Owing to its smaller battery and increased wheelbase, the "Qin" will have more interior space than its predecessor.
The "Qin" has greatly improved styling over BYD's earlier models, most notably in the car's interior, which is impressive. The car features two large TFT LCD displays and a mysterious "robot" on the dashboard. Details are sketchy at this time, but the "robot" appears to pop out from underneath the dashboard and is outfitted with cameras. It is likely the terminal of BYD's "i" networking system which handles everything from wireless internet, cloud computing, location services, music downloads, driver fatigue detection, and voice control.
Ultimately, the success or failure of the "Qin" will depend on product quality and price. With its recent warranty extension, BYD has leaped ahead most of its Chinese rivals in the quality department. One thing is certain, the "Qin" will not be cheap. The price of the vehicle is expected to come in around 150,000-200,000rmb or about $24,000- $32,000USD. However, it may qualify for  subsidies of up to 80,000rmb as well as exemptions from China's Travel Tax, Vehicle Purchase Tax, and a reduced VAT tax due to it being an eco-friendly vehicle.
Regardless, the "Qin" is impressive vehicle and could end up stealing the show at the upcoming Beijing Auto Show where more details will be revealed.

It's an image not a metaphor
After years of marveling at their glorious walls of chaotic sound, we're excited to announce we'll be releasing the latest from Bletchley, UK improv noise band Action Beat this spring. As if that wasn't thrilling enough, the record also features vocals from legendary former vocalist of The Ex, G.W. Sok. And as if THAT wasn't enough, we're releasing it as a 2x10"!! Lots more details coming soon including a European tour and pre-orders.
The new album from Trummors is available now! Recorded with a full-band this time around, it's a slightly more psychedelic take on their brand of space folk and we can't wait to share it. They're on the road this spring previewing some of the new material so stay tuned and we'll have some music for you to check out shortly.
We've also signed NJ rock heroes The Everymen! Trust us that this is one of the most fun live bands you will ever have the pleasure to see - imagine Rocket From the Crypt covering E Street and you're starting to get the idea. Record is available now and they are on the road forever.
Lots of bands in the studio right now as well - Wild Yaks have been hard at work in upstate NY with Kevin McMahon (Titus Andronicus, Swans) and should be finishing up in the next few months. New records on the way later this year from Miniboone and Dinosaur Feathers too, so keep checking back!
