Holy Cross In The Patriot League
Holy Cross is now in its 21st season of play in the Patriot League. With last week's victory at Georgetown, the Crusaders now own an all-time mark of 13-8 in their opening Patriot League contest of the season. Holy Cross is now 7-2 in conference openers over the last eight seasons, with the only losses during that span coming against Lehigh (38-20 in 2003) and Fordham (42-35 in 2004). From 1998 through 2002, the Crusaders won five straight conference openers, against Towson twice (31-24 in 1998; 17-14 in 2000), Georgetown twice (33-7 in 2001; 41-13 in 2002) and Lafayette once (30-12 in 1999). Holy Cross owns an all-time record of 57-53 (.518) in Patriot League action, winning five titles (1986, 1987, 1989, 1990 and 1991).
Adams Leads Crusader Defense
Senior linebacker Dan Adams (Springfield, Va.) is once again one of the top defensive players in the Patriot League this year. In the season opener at Georgetown, Adams totaled eight tackles, with three tackles for loss, an interception, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup. Prior to the start of the season, he was named the 16th-best linebacker in all of Division I-AA by the Sports Network. A year ago, Adams led the Holy Cross defense with 115 total tackles, including 97 solo stops, four tackles for loss and one sack. He finished the season as the national leader in solo tackles with an average of 8.8 per game, while ranking 21st in the country in total tackles. Adams' top game in 2005 came against Colgate, when he set a career high with 21 solo tackles, the most tackles in a game by a Crusader since the 1993 season. Some of his other top performances last year came against Lafayette (16 total tackles, including 14 solo stops and a tackle for loss), Delaware (team-high 10 tackles), Bucknell (10 total tackles), Lehigh (nine tackles and a fumble recovery), Yale (nine tackles), Georgetown (nine tackles with two tackles for loss and a sack) and Sacred Heart (nine total tackles). Over the course of his career as a Crusader, he has now totaled 216 total tackles, 172 solo stops and nine tackles for loss.
Defending The Home Turf
Holy Cross has enjoyed great success at Fitton Field over the years. The Crusaders, who played their first game at Fitton Field in 1903, have posted an all-time home mark of 342-161-27 (.671). Fitton Field is the second-oldest stadium still used for Division I college football, behind only Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania (opened in 1895). Holy Cross' best decade at home occurred from 1980-1989, when the Crusaders recorded a 41-12-1 mark. In the current decade, the Crusaders have posted a record of 14-19 at home. Holy Cross had a 3-3 mark at Fitton Field last year, marking the team's first non-losing season at home since the 2001 team went 3-2.
Gough Steps Up In The Secondary
Senior cornerback Casey Gough (Hinsdale, Ill.) looks to be one of the top defensive backs and kickoff returners in the Patriot League this season. In the season opener at Georgetown, Gough posted six total tackles and two pass breakups. Prior to the start of the year, he was named a preseason honorable mention All-American as a kickoff returner by Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette. A year ago, Gough was named second team All-Patriot League, after posting a team-best three interceptions, 45 total tackles, three tackles for loss and six pass breakups. In last season's victory over Yale, he recorded a career-high 11 tackles, including 10 solo stops, with two tackles for loss, an interception and a safety. Following that contest, he was named Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette National Defensive Player of the Week, Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week and ECAC Defensive Player of the Week. Gough was also named Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette National Special Teams Player of the Week and Patriot League Special Teams Player of the Week following the Bucknell game, after returning four kickoffs for 173 yards and a touchdown. In addition, he was named Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week following the Harvard game, after making six tackles and returning an interception 42 yards for a touchdown. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Gough has now totaled 99 tackles, four interceptions and 16 pass breakups.
Crusaders Dominate Turnover Battle
Holy Cross looks to be strong in the turnover department once again this year, after forcing two turnovers without giving the ball away during the season opening victory at Georgetown. Last season, Holy Cross forced its opponents to commit 24 turnovers, while giving the ball away only 13 times. The Crusader defense posted 11 interceptions last year, in addition to recovering 13 fumbles. The Holy Cross defense has now forced at least one turnover in 19 consecutive games, while causing two or more turnovers 13 times during that stretch. On the offensive side of the ball, the Crusaders have thrown just seven interceptions and lost only six fumbles over their last 12 contests.
The Last Meeting With Northeastern
The Crusader offense scored on six consecutive first half possessions, as it built a 43-6 halftime lead on its way to a 46-13 victory over Northeastern at Fitton Field on November 4, 1989. Tom Ciaccio led Holy Cross by completing 12 of 14 attempts for 182 yards and two touchdowns, while playing less than half of the game. The Crusaders opened the game by scoring three rushing touchdowns in the first quarter to go up 21-0. Joe Segreti scored on runs of two and 23 yards, while Ciaccio added a one-yard touchdown run. Holy Cross increased its lead to 35-0 in the second quarter, with Ciaccio tossing a pair of touchdown passes, of nine yards to Jack Lavalette and 27 yards to Michael Lewis. Byron Hurt then put the Huskies on the scoreboard with a two-yard scoring run, but Andy Hertz blocked the extra point and took it back for a defensive two-point conversion after receiving a lateral from Rich Flauto. With less than a minute left before halftime, Mark Roman threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Joe Riley, giving the Crusaders a 43-6 lead heading into the locker room. Most of Holy Cross' starters stayed on the sidelines during the second half, with the Crusaders only other points in the game coming on a 35-yard field goal by Scott Kania in the third quarter. Northeastern concluded the scoring with a 16-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Hurt to Calvin Johnson. Segreti rushed for 64 yards on 10 carries to lead the Holy Cross ground game, while Lewis had a team-best four catches for 101 yards. The Crusader defense held the Huskies to just 309 yards of total offense on the day, while allowing Northeastern to complete just four passes. Corey Vincent led Holy Cross with 11 total tackles, including three sacks and a fumble recovery.
Offense Shows Balance In Opener
During the season opening victory at Georgetown, Holy Cross showed that it has a number of weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Junior quarterback Brian McSharry (Abington, Mass.) completed 16 of 30 attempts for 181 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore quarterback Dominic Randolph (Amelia, Ohio) hit on 10 of 15 passes for 79 yards before suffering an injury. Sophomore tailback Terrance Gass (Sicklerville, N.J.) led the team in rushing with 56 yards and a score on 15 carries, and sophomore tailback Mike Kielt (Southbury, Conn.) added 33 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. The Crusaders were also very balanced in the receiving department, with four players catching at least four passes. Junior wide receiver Ryan Maher (Boca Raton, Fla.) led the team with seven catches for 62 yards, while senior wide out Matt Fanning (Marlborough, Mass.) added six receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown. In addition, junior wide receiver Thomas Harrison (Wilmington, N.C.) caught five passes for 56 yards, and sophomore wide out Jon Brock (Acworth, Ga.) brought in four receptions for 40 yards. All told, the balanced offensive attack was able to total 355 yards, 23 first downs and 26 points in the season opener.
Tradition Of Excellence
The 2006 campaign marks the 111th season of Holy Cross football. The Crusaders enter this week's game with an overall record of 563-454-54, good for a .551 winning percentage. Prior to the start of the 2006 season, Holy Cross' 562 all-time victories ranked as the 14th most among all Division I-AA schools. Holy Cross has had 31 first team All-America selections, sent 69 players on to professional football, won five Lambert Cups, claimed five Patriot League championships, and was named the Division I-AA Team of the Year in 1987. The Crusaders also played in the 1946 Orange Bowl, losing to host Miami on the game's final play.
Kickers Look To Shine In 2006
Senior placekicker Mike DeSantis (Belle Mead, N.J.) and senior punter Ryan McManaway (Ferdinand, Ind.) give Holy Cross one of the top kicking tandems in the Patriot League. DeSantis, who was a second team All-Patriot League selection in 2004, enters this week's game having made 20 of 27 career field goal attempts and 103 of 114 career extra points for a total of 163 points. He already holds the school career record for field goal percentage (74.1 percent), while standing third all-time in career extra points made. McManaway was named second team All-Patriot League in 2005, and has averaged 34.4 yards on 160 punts during his collegiate career, while placing 27 kicks inside the opponents' 20-yard line. He enters this week's game ranked fifth all-time at Holy Cross in career punts, and sixth in career punting yards (5,511).
Nielsen Looks For Another Big Year
Senior linebacker Chris Nielsen (Center Line, Mich.) was one of the top players for the Holy Cross defense last season, and looks to return to that role in 2006. Last year he was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District I first team, for his outstanding work both on the field and in the classroom (3.43 grade point average in mathematics). On the season, Nielsen ranked second on the team with 72 total tackles, including 61 solo stops and a team-best eight tackles for loss. His top game of 2005 came in the 13-10 victory over 10th-ranked Lehigh, after which he was honored as the Sports Network National Defensive Player of the Week and the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week. Nielsen led the Crusader defense by forcing a fumble and recording 14 total tackles against Lehigh, including 13 solo stops and a tackle for loss. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Nielsen now has 97 total tackles, 81 solo tackles and 10 tackles for loss.

Head Coach Tom Gilmore
Tom Gilmore is in his third season as head coach at the College of the Holy Cross. He enters this week's game with an overall record of 10-13, as the Crusaders have won 10 of his last 17 games. Last year, Gilmore guided Holy Cross to an overall record of 6-5, with tailback Steve Silva earning first team All-America honors. On Oct. 8, 2005, Gilmore led the Crusaders to their first victory over a ranked team since 2000, with a 13-10 win at No. 10 Lehigh. Gilmore came to Holy Cross after serving as defensive coordinator at Lehigh for four seasons, during which the Mountain Hawks were one of the finest defensive teams in Division I-AA. In 2001, he was named as the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year, after molding a young and inexperienced defense into a unit that allowed just 15.8 points per game and 86.6 yards rushing per game. Gilmore previously spent time as an assistant coach at Dartmouth (1992-1999), Pennsylvania (1986, 1990-1991) and Columbia (1987-1989). An Academic All-American at Pennsylvania, Gilmore graduated in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in computer mathematics. He was the Ivy League Player of the Year as a senior and helped lead the Quakers to four consecutive Ivy League titles.
Scouting The Huskies
Northeastern enters this week's game with an overall record of 0-1, following last week's 38-0 loss at Virginia Tech. Junior tailback Maurice Murray led the Huskies by rushing 18 times for 69 yards against the Hokies, while sophomore tailback Alex Broomfield had a team-best four receptions for 14 yards. Sophomore quarterback Anthony Orio completed 13 of 24 passes for 103 yards with two interceptions during the season opener. On the defensive side of the ball, senior free safety Lamar Gay and junior linebacker A.J. Lille both had seven tackles for Northeastern. The Huskies are coming off a 2005 season in which they went 2-9 overall and 2-6 in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Head coach Rocky Hager is in his third season at the helm of the Huskies' program, where he owns a 7-16 record. Hager's career mark stands at 98-41-1, including 10 years at North Dakota State, where his teams won the NCAA Division II national championship in 1988 and 1990.

Born of your blood
Seen once like the eclipse
Powerful among equals
Thy color a symbol of peace
Oh, I remember thy feathers
Worn only by the royal
My father wore it too
Because is royal
Thy off springs called eaglets
Born into plenty
The wildest hunter on earth
Faster than English shoot
Your glories are numerous
And your attack dangerous

Can you give me basic
information on different brush types? I don't know whether to use
synthetic brushes or invest in high-quality sable brushes. Is there
anything in between?
Brushes, the principal tools of the painter, are made in a variety
of shapes and sizes and from different types of hair. Soft-hair brushes
are best for thin paint, including tempera and watercolor, and for fine
details. Hard, stiff-hair brushes are generally used to cover large
areas because they hold a heavier paint load and can withstand rougher
use.The best, and also the most expensive, of the soft-hair
brushes is the red- and yellow-haired sable. The sable brush is
preferred for its strength, durability, and springiness, and its
naturally tapered point makes it excellent for fine details and for
delivering a long, fluid stroke. Sable blended with kolinsky hair is a
very good alternative to the costly sable. Other soft-haired brushes
include squirrel, ox, and camel. In terms of quality, these brushes
vary from country to country and must be tested by artists to assess
their performance.Of the stiff, hard brushes, the white-hair
bristle brush is the best, with its natural curve, strength,
resiliency, and strong capacity for carrying paint. The bristle brush
is endowed with these characteristics because of the unique way the
points of the bristles split like a branch into many smaller points
called flags. Bristle brushes are set into different shapes and lengths
that determine the type of strokes they yield. Long, flat brushes with
square corners are called flats. A similar-shaped brush with shorter
hairs is called a bright. Filberts are fuller and have rounded corners.
Rounds are circular in their cross-section. These different-type
brushes are available in sizes ranging from size 0 (small) to size 12
(large).Synthetic-hair brushes as well as blends of natural-
and synthetic-hair brushes that imitate bristle and sable have been
developed to overcome the expense and rarity of exceptionally good
natural-hair brushes. These brushes are increasingly attractive for
their quality and because they are far less expensive than their
natural counterparts.

Why? Well, for the challenge first. Having a DVD drive most of the time doesn't mean it's the only one to target. Some even have no removable drives (by choice I suppose). Having to burn a DVD for only 1 Gig doesn't make me want to go for it. Or make it 4 Gigs and I'll be happy!
Unless this is for testing monster machines that already are unaffordable to most people -- you know, like �who's got the biggest...�
I don't know... Since PTS has testing profiles, why not categorize? Like profiles for CPU/memory/disk benchmarking only, video, 3D/2D, whatever. Amongst these profile sets, there must be which don't necessarily require that lot of resources, right? Also is Gnome absolutely unavoidable? Or is a lighter desktop also possible? Like XFCE, LXDE... I think there should be many ways to fine-tune the size and requirements of a PTS distribution.

"Kirkus' review of The Mill River Recluse played an important role in encouraging readers to take a chance on a first novel by an unknown author."
— Darcie Chan, independent author of The Mill River Recluse, which sold more than 500,000 copies
Back in 2004, Leila Roy started Bookshelves of Doom as a simple reading log. Over the past 10 years, it has morphed and expanded into a website that covers stories in all forms—fact and fiction, print and film, video games and songs—but, at its heart, it is still best described by the tagline it launched with: "Book news, reviews, my life, and anything else I think is interesting."
March is finally here, which has me rejoicing: the end of winter is finally in sight AND we've got a whole new month's worth of books to read! Let's take a look:
Black Dove, White Raven, by Elizabeth Wein
Another collage-style historical about flying, friendship, and family—and about how family transcends both blood and race—from the author of Code Name Verity. It's set in Ethiopia during 1935, during the invasion by Italy. Even if Wein wasn't an auto-read for me ...
While reading the last 25 or so pages of Becky Albertalli's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, I happily cried all over myself, laughed out loud, and occasionally paused to clutch the book to my chest…and I was so blissed out that I didn't care that I happened to be manning the circulation desk or that I was arming my more smirky patrons with prime Leila-mocking fodder. The last book that inspired a reaction that publically passionate—not counting Susan Juby's ...
Alchemy—turning base metals to gold, the transformation of something ordinary into something extraordinary. One bucketful of water contains more atoms than there are bucketsful of water in the Atlantic Ocean. It's just like magic. Diamond and graphite are both pure carbon. If that is true, then anything is possible.
—When My Heart was Wicked, Tricia Stirling
Three years ago, Lacy Fin's mother—fiercely protective one moment and flat-out abusive the next—abandoned her. Lacy, who was well on ...
For the past four years, there has been constant construction on just about every block in my neighborhood. They've painted and planted and made beauty out of decaying dreams. Block after block, strangers kept coming to Jackson Avenue, kept coming and changing and remaking and adding on to and taking away from.
—This Side of Home, Renée Watson
As the twin daughters of two community activists, Maya and Nikki—named for poets Maya Angelou and Nikki Giovanni—have ...
As I'm sure you've noticed, it's almost Valentine's Day. This year, I'm planning to treat myself by pre-ordering some love stories. I love ordering books months in advance because I get three times the enjoyment: First, when I'm figuring out which books to buy; second, when I've forgotten all about ordering them and I'm surprised by their arrival; and third, when I actually get to sit down and read them.
Here are some of the titles I'm considering:
Miss Mayhem ...
In the year 2048, our planet is in the midst of the Second Cold War. For the last 26 years, the United States has been alone, living under trade sanctions imposed by Ri Xiong Di's New Eastern Bloc. The country has become self-sufficient, but only barely—the majority of Americans live in poverty. Not so the cadets of the junior military academies established by the Youth Services Charter. They are well-fed and in peak physical form, they are educated and armed ...
There are so many books to look forward to in February that I don't want to use up any of my space on an introduction! Let's take a look:
The Third Twin, by CJ Omolulu
Identical twins Lexi and Ava invent a "third twin" persona. Pretending to be Alicia allows them a new and unusual freedom—the ability to experiment with different styles and behaviors, but without lasting consequences. But then all of the boys that "Alicia" has been dating start ...
Almost exactly one year ago today, I wrote about working through a serious case of Winter Malaise by reading a few books about characters who had it far worse than me: a girl dealing with betrayal and lies in Antarctica; a group of teenagers snowed in at a rapidly cooling high school; a nonfiction picture book about a doomed Arctic expedition; a book that opens with a girl stranded on an iceberg.
This year, it's been much sunnier—not counting Tuesday ...

Westley Richards & Co Ltd was established in 1812 by the celebrated Birmingham gunmaker, William Westley Richards (1790-1865), He challenged the pre-eminence of the London gunmakers and his appointment as gunmaker to the Prince Consort in 1840 gave tangible expression to his success. The expansion of the firm in the nineteenth century was based on a continuous stream of technical improvements and innovations. Increasingly, it specialised in two areas: sporting guns, which continue to be the mainstay of the gunmaking part of the business, and the production of military weapons, beginning with the Enfield musket of 1853.
Westley Richards (1814-1897) continued his father's reputation for technical innovation as his partner between 1855 and 1865 and then head of the firm from 1865 to 1872. Finally, he superintended its transition to a limited liability company in 1872, when he became chairman. Westley Richards retired from the active management of the business in the same year, while remaining chairman, and the management increasingly fell under the control of the Deeley family in the late nineteenth century.
By the First World War, the company had lost its more lucrative military contracts to the Royal Ordnance factories. Between the two world wars, it relied heavily on orders for sporting guns from the Indian princes, a feature well-documented in the surviving ledgers for this period. The firm remains one of the three leading British makers of sporting guns, but has now diversified into other forms of precision engineering. It continues to operate from the Bournbrook site, to which manufacturing was transferred from the High Street in Birmingham c1898.
The production records cover most of the guns made by the firm since the early nineteenth century, often with annotations giving details of buyers and later repairs, There is also a good series of ledgers giving details of customers, accounts for the first half of the twentieth century.
In 1913 the company's managing director, LB Taylor, published A brief history of the Westley Richards firm 1812-1913. A short article on the company by John Wood, bringing the account up to the present day, appeared in Midlands Industry and Commerce, July 1988, pp42-43.
The Commission is most grateful to the present chairman, Mr Walter Clode, for permission to examine the surviving records of the firm and to Mr Simon Clode, director, for his assistance in compiling the following list.

The Aussie dollar hit an all-time, post-float high this week - hovering around $1.02 - largely driven by 'risk sentiment trends' in market circles and a firm correlation with the MSCI World Stock Index.
australian dollars
This means, that with confidence under assault from multiple fronts in the week ahead - Bahrain, Libya, Japan - world events are likely to bump the currency along for the ride.
Locally, it has proven a boon for online shopping, from Woolies and Coles e-supermarket orders to pricey and prestige goods like boats, houses and cars.
For Australian retailers, the dollar's rise is a 'double-edged sword', Australian Retailers' Association Russell Zimmerman said. 'The real problem is that we are getting a deflation in the price of goods. For electrical goods, it's a 25 to 30 per cent deflation. You have to get more products through your door to maintain a dollar margin that you are used to.'
The strong dollar is likely to place pressure on the Reserve Bank to raise interest rates, and a rise would reduce consumers' spending power and increase retailers' finance costs, Zimmerman observed.
Shopping online from US websites has also become more attractive for Australians, eager to flaunt their pumped up currency on supposedly 'good deals'.
But all that glisters, as they say. The big brands in the marine sector are united in their sentiment that it's a case of 'buyer beware'.
Damien Weber, head of sales and marketing at Navico, observes that everything is on sale on the net. 'It's happening with boats, consumer goods, electronics. Brands and etailers are competing on price. But this is how it has been for a long time.'
Navico dealers have not noticed a marked fluctuation in trade, says Weber. 'But in the case of electronics, if you bring in anything over $1000, you are liable for duty. We tell people at boat shows and through our dealers that they need to be cautious.'
There's also the problem of US goods being fitted with US maps, in the case of Lowrance HDS units for example. 'They are regionalised,' explains Weber. 'If you bought one online, you would then have to buy local charts, so it becomes complicated and expensive.'
Another thing to consider is the metric system. US units are in Fahrenheit and Feet, whereas the majority of Aussies are comfortable with Celcius and Metres.
Fortunately for Navico and its coterie of brands, 'consumer are spending'. Says Weber: '10' units are selling very well. People are showing confidence and tend to be spending from high end trailerboat upwards.'
Leigh Francis from All Marine Spares reports that there is a lot of talk of 'good deals overseas', but people need to realise they have to return any parts they import to the US for warranty issues. 'Warranty is owned by the importer. In this country, it's regarded as the manufacturer. If you approach the States, it gets very tricky. Internet sellers are often faceless, officeless entities. Locally, dealers are reluctant to handle problems that can arise with electronics and parts. Very often they don't want to know, and would you blame them?'
Serial numbers can differ from market to market, year to year, particularly with electronics.
'Being trade only, we hear that our customers are experiencing this. We have customers who say to their customers, if you want to bring it in, that's fine. But I won't fit it in case it fails. If you try and fix it you will void your warranty and blow any margin you made because you're the importer. We need to spell it out to consumers - there will often be problems and they will be stuck with an expensive bargain.'
In contrast, Francis recommends that local dealers and retailers are a good source of information and after-sales service. 'There's profit factored in to the price, which covers warranty. If it's too good to be true, it generally is.'

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
THE MODERATOR: Coach Flanagan, if you want to take just a minute or two to give a recap of the game and your opening thoughts, we'd appreciate that.
COACH FLANAGAN: I thought the most important thing probably first of all I want to congratulate BYU. I thought they played really hard. Very difficult to defend. As Brandi knows, running over those screens is no picnic. They set a lot of screens.
I thought what we did very well was stop their interior game. We didn't ever stop [] bar ling. I thought she played a great game, especially under the conditions with us chasing her. We helped each other out a lot on defense. I thought the first half was the key that we shut them down. They didn't score many points first half.
Second half we had a little lull there, which we've had before, but I think everybody has that. We shot well. Shot our free throws pretty well. A little unhappy with our offensive boards. We need to do a better job of blocking out. But other than that I thought it was a good team effort on offense and on defense.
THE MODERATOR: Thanks, coach. Questions for the student athletes please.
Q. Amy or Brandi, what goes through your head when you see they're focusing so much on Dionne, and then she is limited in the first half and you guys are still able to build up a pretty good lead.
Brandi Kimble: I think we did a good job of stepping up. Our younger players came in and were confident and knocked down shots and played good defense.
Amy Beggin: I think we still try to get the ball to DM. But when they're doubling her, we just try to fake it. And our four players played pretty well today, hitting their shots on the outside. So really just trying to get everybody involved in the offense.
Q. Amy, you guys got up ten early and they never got within single digits again. Did you see this kind of game coming? You guys were really ready. Do you know what accounts for that?
Amy Beggin: BYU is a tough team and always seems to be close games when we played them. But we just came out fired up and excited, we just were able to jump out to the lead right away and able to maintain it and played pretty solid.
Q. You guys hit a couple threes early on. Did you feel like the shooting was kind of contagious early and the confidence raised as soon as you hit those first couple?
Amy Beggin: I think it makes us feel a lot better and play a lot better when one person starts hitting them. Just like you said, it's contagious, and we just look for our shots and try to knock them down.
Q. On the defensive end, forcing all those turnovers, I think you scored 35 points off the turnovers, what got into your guys on the defensive end?
Brandi Kimble: I think we were pumped up this afternoon to play good defense and we did a good job.
Q. Amy, just talk a little bit about the environment here. Seems like there's a lot of Lobo fans, and you guys seem like you felt pretty comfortable.
Amy Beggin: Yeah, I mean, it's just really special to come running out of that tunnel and see all the Lobo support here. Just kind of reminds us we do have the best fans in the nation, just to come and drive all the way out here to something that's really special, and we're just really appreciative.
Q. Brandi, seems like the fact you guys have done well in this tournament before, that seems like it has been a little bit of a factor. Does that make you guys more confident going into a game like this?
Brandi Kimble: I think it does.
THE MODERATOR: Ladies, we'll let you guys go. Thanks very much. We'll continue with questions for coach.
Q. The focus, the defense on Dionne, she gets in foul trouble, she obviously doesn't have the first half maybe you expect and you guys still build a big lead. So what did you learn about the rest of the players?
COACH FLANAGAN: You know, I know about the rest of the players. The only thing was, I thought Jessica Kielpinski played very well in place of Dionne. I thought the team played very well when Dionne was on the bench. We tried to go to Dionne early. She hit the first shot of the game, then after that they really defended her hard. They were sometimes double teaming her. And that gives Angela an opportunity.
You know, we've seen the double team throughout the year obviously because Dionne is the key. So they're going to double team her. So that frees up our other post player. Angela has become quite a good player. Now they really can't do that as much. I don't see teams doing that as much unless they want Angela to get 20.
Q. Without asking for comparisons per se, do you feel like Amy gives you the same kind of steadiness that you've had in the past at the point with Mandy and Katie at this stage of her career?
COACH FLANAGAN: You know, I've had a lot of outstanding point guards. I think I've been fortunate with point guards. And Amy is a leader, tough kid. She's a great defender. And she makes our team go. She's really made a lot of progress.
And, you know, I don't have a lot of subs for Amy. Our point guard that we had at the beginning of the year injured her knee, so all through the year she's had to go 38 to 40 minutes. And she does that without any problem at all. I ask her if she's tired after the 40 minutes. She always says, No, I feel great. As long as she feels great, I feel great.
Q. How does she differ from Katie and Mandy? I mean personality wise or on the court?
COACH FLANAGAN: First of all, she's hyper. And Mandy was never hyper like that. Mandy was on the floor. She was very she was demanding on the floor. Amy's not as much like that. But throughout the day, I mean, you can't calm her down. She is very hyper. Yet when she gets on the floor, she calms down. So her off the floor behavior is more you can't calm her down. She is just running around, causing problems everywhere. Once she gets on the floor, she utilizes that energy appropriately and plays a smart game.
Now Katie was a little bit better shooter. But, you know, Amy didn't come in being a good shooter. And she's really improved her shot by hard work. It doesn't look pretty, but it goes in.
Q. Coach, you talked about the first half being the key basically. Dionne basically had three points and had to sit out the last eight minutes. But you had eight players score. Has to feel pretty good to see that happened because early in the year it obviously didn't.
COACH FLANAGAN: Throughout the year we've been kind of experimenting. It wasn't because I wanted to experiment a lot of times; it was because I had to. There was times when we weren't playing very effectively and I'd throw people in. I was trying to find a combination that I thought would work. And pretty soon, as the season progressed, some of those players surfaced and started to play a little bit better. And now I think we have more depth than we would have had if I didn't have to experiment. So I might have eight or nine or ten players that can play and they've all played some minutes and some important minutes throughout the season. So I think our depth has really improved.
Q. Coach, you've said that your defense has been pretty consistent throughout the season. Another solid performance today. Is that something you've just come to expect of them and how important will that be come Friday?
COACH FLANAGAN: We work a lot on defense. It's not something that just happens. A lot of our practice, I would say about 60% of our practice, is defense. I always feel like if we can defend and get enough points, we'll win games.
But, you know, I think we're somewhere around seven or eighth in the nation in defense. Even though we haven't had the kind of year we wanted to have, it's getting better and our defense is excellent.
THE MODERATOR: Thanks, coach. Appreciate it.

MMA News
Munoz vs. Weidman Set To Square Off At UFC On FUEL TV 4
As if we have not been bombarded with enough middleweight UFC news this week, Ariel Helwani confirmed on "UFC Tonight" Tuesday evening. Mark Munoz will be battling fellow middleweight, Chris Weidman at UFC on Fuel TV 4 on July 11. The middleweight bout will headline the card; the location of the event is still undetermined.
This will be Munoz first fight back following surgery to clean bone fragments from an ailing elbow. Before the surgery Munoz was set to take on Chael Sonnen for the number one contender spot but later withdrew from the fight due to the elbow problem. Mark Munoz is coming into the middleweight tilt boasting an impressive four fight win streak. With yet another impressive win against Weidman, he sets himself up for a title shot in the near future.
Weidman, on the other hand, is undefeated in his professional MMA career (4-0 in the UFC). His most recent win was a unanimous decision over a very tough Damian Maia. The former All American wrestler is looking to stay undefeated against his fellow wrestle in Munoz.
Both fighters are coming into the bout very hot and it is sure to be a middleweight war.
9 Responses to "Munoz vs. Weidman Set To Square Off At UFC On FUEL TV 4"
I'm going for Munoz to win this fight, his ground and pound is devastating. Weidman is also a good fighter but I would be very surprised if he could pull a win out this fight.
Munoz has some solid stand up unlike Sonnen. I see Wiedman getting TKO'ed by DK GnP!
solid stand up O_o…dude got rattled by mia on the feet, also got ktfo by a hammill head kick, solid stand up, i think not
@jc The Hammill fight is LHW, you are 3 years late munoz now is in the Middle Weight
Mark Munoz for the win
Corissa this is just for you….
WEIDMAN via total destruction.
Mark Munoz would beat the brakes off of Weidman. Weidman dud well against Maia but Maia's striking is still elementary at best. Muniz can stand and bang and the wrestling is nullified but miunoz still has the advantage
Weidman is a can.He "FITCHED"sakara to a boring ass win.And got to fight Maia outa luck as a last min thing because Bisping was pulled to fight sonnen.he happened to win Maia in a boring ass fashion.He needs to pay his dues and doesnt deserve to fight anybody noteworthy like Munoz.

Hello All,
I was downloading some system updates last night, it was taking so long, I went to bed, I get up this morning turn it on and I see this grey screen with alot of computer language, also this message that I need to restart, when i do this it shuts down ,then I start it up and the same message pops up. Any suggestions on what I can do?, does anyone know what Im talking about.
Its a kernel panic
Try starting up after disconnecting all external drives and peripherals
See if you can start up in safe mode (press S on start-up)
If the panic persists, you may need your restore disks to do an arhive and install

Dear John Boehner: Stop Making Those Stupid Faces on Live Television
We've had enough of you. Most of your ideas to counter the Democrats absolutely suck. Punishing the entire country in the name of stopping something that actually passed through the rounds of due process? You're acting like a group of spoiled rich kids. (Oh, my bad, you poor pathetic bastards actually are a group of spoiled rich old geezers, silly me.) Do us all a solid and stop making those stupid faces on live television. I actually wouldn't have a problem rooting for the Republicans if you assholes had an inkling of an idea about being an inclusive party, but as I gazed at the television I saw nothing but old, disgruntled, angry white people. Herman Cain swallowed his own nuts, so he technically hasn't been black in years. He's the real-life Uncle Ruckus.
This would be OK if most of America actually resembled people like you. But we're moving into a new era; it's time for your party to stop functioning as if we are living in the 1800s. The world isn't turning over on it's axis, so take a deep breath and relax, You look like you're about to drive yourself into a stroke, and of course we all know you won't need Obamacare to pay for your medical bills. So cheer up, you miserable bastard.
On Thursday the check for this piece will arrive in the mail box. I will cash it and go buy some Nikes to wear onstage while I perform at Grovefest this weekend. I'll also get paid for performing at Grovefest. I'm an artist and this is my job, and now thanks to Barack Obama I can now afford healthcare. I love America.

Alexandria: Inside the media crucible
Recently, John R. MacArthur, publisher of Harper's, wrote a note strafing the very idea of the Internet. Online journalism is a mugs' game, he writes; most of what he sees on the Web is "unedited, incoherent babble indicative of a herd mentality, not a true desire for self-government or fairness."
John R. MacArthur should move to Alexandria.
Whether it's pushing out articles on outrageously neglected African-American graveyards, reporting on a local attorney who believes a barbecue restaurant will become a "clubhouse for conservative persons," or simply taking awesome photos of the local high school's first night football game, it's impossible to argue that competition, whether online or in print, has made Alexandria media worse.
Alexandria, population 155,000, is better covered than many bigger cities. It's a situation that has editors scrambling. "Thanks for invitation, but no time," Alexandria Gazette Packet's editor, Steven Mauren, wrote in an e-mail replying to TBD's two requests for an interview.
No surprise! Founded 227 years ago, the Gazette Packet got serious competition in 2005 with the arrival of the Alexandria Times, a weekly broadsheet that walks the same crime-schools-local-gov beats that are the lifeblood of community papers (and aggregators of their work). In the last three years, the Alexandria infosphere has been invaded by two online news orgs: Alexandria News, which launched in 2008, and AOL's Patch, which in late 2010 began drilling down into Del Ray and Old Town in the city of Alexandria, as well as four of the Fairfax localities that share the Alexandria postal designation.
"Alexandria could support a daily," says David Sachs, the Times' 26-year-old editor. "It's a big enough city." And it's a city with stories independent of its media-hogging neighbors to the north, Arlington and the District.
There's enough news that the various outlets have developed their own personalities: The Gazette Packet, owned by Connection Newspapers, is town's gray lady, the Times its scrappy alternative, the Patches go deep and extremely local with lots of photos of dogs, and the Alexandria News bets big on photojournalism.
One thing all these newsrooms have in common is their small size — the Times' edit staff is Sachs and Derrick Perkins. The Gazette Packet lists four edit staffers, and Carla Branch and James Cullum pump out most of the News. Del Ray Patch is just Hansen, though he shares content and occasionally co-bylines with other Patch editors, especially Old Town Patch's Sharon McLoone. All the people I spoke with have the kind of personality that lends itself to local news' demanding tempo. Cullum, in particular, is a marvel of time management, not only reporting and taking great photos at all hours but he's also married, an amateur boxer, and zips over to the western Sahara whenever he can to cover a civil war in Morocco for his blog. "I don't really sleep that much," he says, a trait he says he inherited from his father, jazz musician Jim Cullum Jr.
Both Cullum and Patch's Hansen used to work for newspapers. Cullum was at the Fairfax Times; Hansen was on the Washington Times' sports desk until it eliminated its coverage of news not directly related to hating Obama. Strangely, for such a supposedly transient area, everyone I spoke with had deep local roots — Sachs grew up in the city's Beverly Hills neighborhood, Hansen went to West Potomac High in Fairfax, and Cullum moved to Alexandria from San Antonio when he was 8.
Being from Alexandria "definitely helps," says Sachs. "I have been able to get leads and tips from childhood contacts and people I grew up with." Not that he needs tips: Sachs maintains there's enough news in Alexandria to "fill an 80 page paper every day." Hansen gets some story ideas by hanging out in St. Elmo's Coffee Pub, which he walks to from his home in Del Ray. A Wisconsin grad, he'll poke his head in at the Dairy Godmother and talk Badgers with owner Liz Davis. And like all the other folks, he pays careful attention to what his competitors are doing. "To not do so is kind of dumb," agrees Cullum. "Naturally we're gonna read our competition because I know they read us, too."
The reporters run into one another at city council meetings, at football games, and on Twitter, where they're increasingly connecting with readers. (Hansen says he and the Times' Perkins recently had a good time Tweeting to each other at a special tax district meeting at George Washington Middle School.)
All these outlets have done good journalism in the last year, and all have had their scoops: I particularly liked Michael Lee Pope's story about how Northern Virginia police departments abuse their power to withhold information from victims of crimes and Perkins' story about bullying and accountability. Hansen mentions a couple high points, including the "T.C. Hoes" Facebook bullying story and another about the resignation of the Alexandria Country Day School headmaster who resigned after porn was found on his computer. Cullum picks his stories on the city's homeless and his recent photos of First Night, the city's New Year's celebration. "Alexandria's small, but with these pictures it looks like Gotham City!" he says.
But life for a community reporter doesn't allow much time to gaze backward happily; as Hansen says, "Right after you write one story you've got to go out to a schoolboard meeting." And those are the stories that remain competitive, not just the nuts and bolts stuff, but the narratives that'll define life in Alexandria in the next year.
There's the odd position in which the city's sole high school, T.C. Williams, finds itself, for instance: designated "persistently lowest-achieving" by the U.S. Department of Education despite sending 80 percent of its students to college and graduating Dermot Mulroney. There's also the Defense Department's Base Realignment and Closure plan, which will parachute 6,400 new workers into the city in September into a massive facility that will put no tax revenues into town coffers. And there's always the chance that the president will visit another city business.
Will the tight race to do these stories first and best shake out some of these competitors? To help figure it out, TBD has examined some of last year's most-covered Alexandria stories. Below, an arbitrary decision on who won what — even though the real winners are the town's citizens.
• On August 5, 70 mph winds briefly reigned holy hell on Alexandria's regionally recognized center of smug parenting, Del Ray. All of the city's media outlets covered the cleanup, but TBD has to give the edge to Del Ray Patch, which didn't let the fact that it hadn't launched at the time stop it from banging on the story like a screen door in a hurricane. Drew Hansen, the site's editor, posted photos of downed limbs, crushed cars, and blown-out windows, tweeted the mayor's press conference the next day, and connected residents with emergency services. "I think there's a little difference in the journalism we do," says Hansen. "You know, we have the ability to get things out a little quicker."
• On May 29, a Select XV rugby team from Dundee, Scotland (one of Alexandria's sister cities) alighted at George Washington Middle School and proceeded to thrash Alexandria's Select XV team within an inch of its life, 28-7. While the Times got great color, the GazPac's story had two quotes that gave it Alexandria's only victory that day: 1) Alexandria's Jim Canny called the inaugural 1974 beating Dundee administered to Alexandria a "learning experience"; 2) Dundee Coach Shannon Wilson's lock-up-your-daughters trash talk: "Put this one out for the local ladies. If you see some [good looking guys] in kilts running around, let them know the Dundee Rugby Team's here."
• Patch did a typically exhaustive survey of this Thanksgiving Day run, posting no fewer than four previews, three photo galleries, and a next-dayer from opinion columnist Adam Gerard in which he interviewed participants in the Doggy Dash. Still, Alexandria News just busts through the tape on this one with Scott Newsham's photo of a turkey in a golf cart.
• In June, the city council voted to reshuffle the board of the Torpedo Factory, one of Old Town's signature attractions, with tourism and business interests getting more seats than artists. A compromise in late October ended the ensuing kerfuffle. GazPac's Michael Lee Pope got some great background in July, including the tidbit that former Sen. John Warner had been frustrated in his attempts to sell copies of his work at the Torp (the center does not allow sales of reproductions). But only the Times' Sachs got really into the sausage-making, telling us for instance, how Paul Smedberg, a councilmember who favored the plan, felt "miffed" by the people who called the plan a "takeover." He even gets an awesome quote from Councilwoman Alicia Hughes: "Looking at this board, the thing that reminds me of is a new person coming to play in the sandbox, just like a little girl's first day at school."
