|Fixed-Point Based Proximity Algorithms for Convex Optimization Problems in Signal and Image Processing
|CCMA Luncheon Seminar
|Yuesheng Xu, Syracuse University
|We consider in this talk a class of convex optimization problems in the context of signal and image processing. The computational challenges of these problems are the nonlinearity and non-differentiability of the object function. We characterize the solutions of these problems in terms of fixed-point equations via the proximity operators of the functions that appear in the object function. Efficient algorithms are developed based on the characterization. We introduce the notion of the weakly firmly non-expansive operators to analyze the convergence of the proposed algorithms. Many well-known algorithms are re-interpreted as special cases of the proposed algorithms and new algorithms are shown numerically more efficient than the existing ones.

Brown bags bonus as Quins maintain perfect start
19:09 15 September 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Premiership: Harlequins 37 Sale Sharks 14
Reigning Premiership champions Harlequins made it three wins from three with a hard-earned success over battling Sale at The Stoop.
The Quins secured their bonus point with a last-minute try from Mike Brown, which man of the match Nick Evans converted for a match tally of 17 points.
The final scoreline was harsh on the Sharks who competed throughout but the Quins were always the more creative side.
Harlequins made a blistering start. They immediately gained possession from the kick-off to produce a two-minute period of pressure, which ended with Ugo Monye being driven over for a try which Nick Evans converted.
Minutes later, Sale had their first chance for points but Danny Cipriani badly missed a 35-metre penalty attempt from almost straight in front of the posts.
When Mike Brown was penalised at a ruck 40 metres out, Cipriani was given another penalty chance and this time he made no mistake with his kick.
The opening quarter was frenetic with the hosts trying to exploit the ideal playing conditions by running the ball at every opportunity. However careless handling cost them at crucial stages, allowing the visitors to remain in touch.
Sale had another chance to reduce the deficit but Cipriani was narrowly wide with a penalty attempt from just inside his own half.
Against the run of play the visitors took the lead after 20 minutes.
A clever pass from Cipriani allowed Sam Tuitupou to make a big hole in the home defence. The ball was recycled and Richie Vernon raced beyond the cover defence for a try. Cipriani's conversion from the touchline rebounded back off the post.
The Sharks became more competitive but it was Harlequins who regained the lead six minutes before the interval with another excellent try.
They won quick ball from a lineout 40 metres out, Danny Care's swift pass sent Nick Evans sailing though a huge gap in the visitors' defence and Jordan Turner-Hall was on hand to collect the scoring pass.
Evans converted to give the Quins a deserved 14-8 interval lead.
An excellent take-and-kick from Evans put Harlequins on the attack early in the second half and when Sale were penalised, the outside-half kicked a 30-metre penalty to extend his side's advantage.
Evans then saved the home side with a try-line tackle before kicking another penalty after the Sale pack infringed when under severe pressure at the set scrum close to their line.
Sale responded with a second penalty from Cipriani to be trailing 20-11 at the end of the third quarter.
Strong bursts from replacement Maurie Fa'asavalu and Monye gained the hosts a position in the Sharks 22 and once again Sale were penalised to allow Evans to kick his third penalty.
Cipriani gave Sale a glimmer of hope with his third penalty with 10 minutes remaining but that was his last slice of action as he was replaced by Nick Macleod.
With six minutes to go Harlequins effectively sealed their victory.
Mike Brown produced one of his trademark elusive bursts to set up the platform from which George Robson crashed over from short range for their third try which Evans converted.
Brown's late effort put gloss on the win.

Temperatures due to climb over the coming months!
No one has noticed a sudden looming global warming crisis. Since July, temperatures in Australia have soared by over six degrees centigrade. If current trends continue, we can expect another three degrees of warming by Christmas.
This rapid warming has caused massive environmental disruption – alpine snow has melted, birds are migrating, there is an epidemic of weeds and we can expect more storms, cyclones, floods, mosquitoes and solar radiation burns.
This is far more serious than the UN's forecast of a piddling 1-2 degrees of warming over the next hundred years or so.
What caused this dangerous new global warming?
The old people called it "summer".
Summer heat is generated by a slight increase in the solar radiation received at the surface, caused by cyclic changes in the positions of the sun in the sky.
It is obvious that longer term solar cycles also dominate the climate. Even "The Farmer's Almanac" knew that cycles in moon, planets and sunspots could be used to forecast the weather.
However, since people started to let computers do their thinking, knowledge of climate cycles has been lost.
We now let computer nerds and taxaholics tell us that the climate is controlled by minute traces of a harmless invisible natural gas exhaled with every breath, generated in every bushfire and exhausted wherever coal, oil and gas are burned.
Some even believe that a tax on carbon dioxide will cool the world.
It's time we abandoned climate Cassandras with costly computers.
There was more sense in "The Farmer's Almanac".
And a warming tax on the sun makes as much sense as the Carbon Tax.

On April 18, a young, German shepherd mix found herself sitting in a kennel run at the Brunswick County Animal Shelter in Lawrenceville, Va., after her guardian died.
The dog, name unknown, did not ask to be put into this precarious situation - in fact, if she was given a choice, she would likely opt to be almost anywhere other than here.
For reasons unknown, when the dog's owner died, no family or friends offered to take this beautiful girl in - today, her future is uncertain because her time is limited.
The following tidbits have been shared about this sweet dog:
She was calm and friendly in the kennel with Animal Control Officer Craig Martin and Bev Menier/Stray Haven.
Of note: These dogs have a limited amount of time at the shelter. The AC officers/employees are rescue friendly.

Jan 5, 2003
SEATTLE (AP) - Bobby Jones's put-back with three seconds remaining put the Washington Huskies ahead for good in a 76-72 victory over Southern California on Saturday.
USC (5-4, 1-1) had one final chance, but Errick Craven took the inbounds pass and stepped out of bounds with 2.1 seconds remaining.
Washington's Will Conroy was then fouled and hit two free throws to seal the win for the Huskies, which broke a seven-game losing streak against the Trojans.
Conroy scored 19 points for Washington (6-5, 1-1 Pac-10).
Doug Wrenn recorded Washington's first double-double of the season with 24 points and 11 rebounds.
USC's Nick Curtis recorded his second double-double of the season with 17 points and 15 rebounds while Desmon Farmer and Rory O'Neil each added 16 points.
Curtis hit the first of two free throws with 36.5 seconds remaining to tie the game at 72-72, but missed the second, which set up Wrenn's miss and Jones' decisive put-back.
USC led by as many as 21 points in the first half, but Washington closed the gap to ten points by halftime. Wrenn hit two free throws with 4:49 remaining and Washington took the lead for the first time since the game's opening basket.
After Washington's Mike Jensen hit the game's first basket, Southern California threatened to rout the Huskies with a 22-1 run.
Washington coach Lorenzo Romar called timeout with the Huskies trailing 12-3 five minutes into the game but couldn't slow down the Trojans.
USC increased its lead to 22-3 less than nine minutes into the game after scoring 14 points in the paint and eight points off turnovers versus none in either category for Washington.
The Huskies made just one of their first 15 shots from the floor.
Washington closed out the first half with a 10-2 run, capped by Conroy's short fast break leaner that brought the Huskies to within 40-30 at halftime, though it was still Washington's biggest halftime deficit of the season.

Director Jeff Preiss's latest film "Low Down" captures the life of jazz pianist Joe Albany as seen through the eyes of his young daughter Amy.
The film will make its premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival on January 19.
Set during the 1970s in Hollywood, "Low Down" is described as a "deeply melodic film that weaves effortlessly through time, transporting us through Amy and Joe's journey."
At the heart of the film are powerful performances from Elle Fanning and John Hawkes, "whose tender portrayals of Amy and Joe draw the audience into the powerful and unique love between a father and his daughter."
The cast includes Peter Dinklage, Glenn Close, Lena Headey, and Flea. The script was written by Topper Lilien and Amy Albany, based on her memoir.
Preiss is a New York filmmaker who emerged in the 1980s through his involvement with experimental cinema.
He was codirector of the pioneering Lower East Side venue Films Charas.
In 1987, he shot a series of short films and two feature documentaries, "Broken Noses" and "Let's Get Lost," director Bruce Weber.
"Let's Get Lost" won the Venice Film Festival Cinecritica Award and received an Academy Award nomination for best documentary. Both films screened at the Sundance Film Festival.
Preiss's "Low Down" will premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Dramatic category.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
local food, Michelle Obama, eat local
If Michelle Obama can do for local food what she did for J. Crew cardigans, the locavore nation may have its new poster woman for healthy eating.
Obama, who praised community vegetable gardens while speaking at the USDA, is using her influence on American culture to further the local food movement. She's allowed reporters into the White House kitchen to get an up-close look at what the chefs are cooking up for the first family—a mix of fresh fruits, veggies and organic foods that are healthy and nutritious. She's served fresh food to the needy at Miriam's Kitchen in D.C. But most importantly, she's spreading the message about local food: It tastes better and is better for you.

"When you grow something yourself and it's close and it's local, oftentimes it tastes really good," Obama says in a recent post on the White House blog. "And when you're dealing with kids, for example, you want to get them to try that carrot. Well, if it tastes like a real carrot and it's really sweet, they're going to think that it's a piece of candy. So my kids are more inclined to try different vegetables if they're fresh and local and delicious."
Local food is also better for the planet. It supports a healthy, clean environment that benefits wildlife and the land. Growing local, seasonal food preserves genetic diversity and reduces our reliance on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Buying local contributes to the community economy and protects our food supply for the future.
With the spring season upon us, here are a few tips on how to eat in-season and get local food on your dinner table:
1. Become a member of a community-supported agriculture program (CSA). CSA season is usually from late spring through early fall. Find your local CSA through Local Harvest.
2. Support local farmers by purchasing fresh food from the farmer's market. Local produce, honey and jams are widely available. Find a farmer's market in your state.
3. Find a food coop (a worker- or customer-owned business) in your area. Coops provide customer control of the foods and products that sell in the store. Bonus: Many coops offer healthy cooking classes.

Work / Travail / Arbeid
Rosas & Ictus
What would it mean for choreography to perform as an exhibition ? This question is the point of departure for Work/Travail/Arbeid. In response, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker reimagines Vortex Temporum to the radically different temporal, spatial, and perceptual conditions of the museum. The choreographer does not simply bring performances into a new kind of space, but rethinks dance as a nine weeks long exhibition, accessible to the public. The original choreography, made for the condensed time of a performance is expanded in cycles of nine hours. Each hour offers new constellations of dancers and musicians dispersed through the multiple spaces of the museum. This project transforms the conditions that have long been essential to dance and gives a new form to the rigorous choreographic writing for which De Keersmaeker is known.

Master builder and visionary, Carl Halvorson, broke ground on Mountain Park in 1968 with the idea of creating a modern urban community that supported the well-being of residents – one that provided a sense of community by design and offered a rich array of amenities to support a healthy lifestyle.
"It was easy to choose Mt. Park as a new location after an early retirement 22 years ago. The Clubhouse (then known as the Rec. Center) cinched the deal. I have been a regular since arriving and it has become a major part of my life during the week. It has provided the perfect balance between the physical benefits and getting to know the many friends I have met at the Clubhouse over the years. And with the recent renovations, the possibilities have expanded on both the physical and social levels."
– Carl
If you're looking for an award-winning planned community that offers first class amenities—one that's convenient to everything Oregon has to offer—take a look at Mountain Park. Your family will feel right at home.
"Where a close and friendly association with Mother Nature is to be found, the very best in a place to live is also to be found – where native trees, big gray rocks and flowers blend in quiet harmony with the homes."
– Evelyn Yates

Apple iPhone 3G Product RED Special Edition and iPhone Air, which one is legit?
How about we forget about the iPhone nano for a minute and think rationally about what's next for Apple's iPhone. Here's the deal: with the iPhone nano, we face diminished screen real estate, as well as less space to keep our hands on the phone (which could lead to a lot of people dropping their iPhones).
So how else can Apple go about introducing a new version of the iPhone that's small, and yet spacious enough for real world tasks? The answer has been right under our noses right all along. Make a clamshell version of the iPhone, and call it the iPhone Air.
This is the iPhone Air, but alas, you won't be seeing this at Macworld 2009, or any Apple store ever, for that matter. It's only a knockoff, but it's quite the looker, wouldn't you say? Maybe a little brushed aluminum could've made it even more Apple-y.
It touts an unfamiliar Chinese OS, FM radio, built-in camera, Bluetooth, and dual SIM card support. Also, that Apple logo on its outer lid glows, just like the logo on the original black MacBook. No info on pricing or availability was available as of this time's writing, so you're going to be on your own if you now want this badly.
Putting that aside, here's something that's a little more closer to reality. We know Apple's been one to introduce Product RED versions of its products in order to help a bit with the growing problem of AIDS in Africa. So right now we're not sure if the Apple iPhone 3G Product RED Special Edition that we see here is also a clone or not.
It definitely bears a resemblance to the real thing, and after that pink iPhone 3G from a couple of days ago, we're not sure if the available colors for the iPhone are just white and black. We'll just have to wait and see at Macworld 2009, if this thing gets announced or not.

Marlo Thomas
Television Producer, Actor
Years before Mary Richards tossed her hat in the air, and Murphy Brown opted to become a single mother, aspiring actress Ann Marie left her hometown of Brewster, New York, for the glittering lights of Manhattan, determined to make it on her own. Although Ann never won the fame she sought, she did manage to win the affections of smitten suitor Donald Hollinger—and the hearts of millions of TV viewers across America.
Under the banner of her own company, Daisy Productions, Marlo Thomas created the title character of Ann Marie for the landmark situation comedy
That Girl
, and in the process, provided an enduring role model for girls and women throughout the nation. The series was an instant success—airing on ABC from 1966 to 1971—and would always be remembered as the first television show in which the lead female character would state that she wished to follow her own dreams and choose career over marriage.
After the show's final season, Thomas remained a constant presence on television, developing and producing
Free to Be…You and Me
, the 1974 Emmy-winning TV special, record album, and best-selling book about individuality; as well as its sequel,
Free To Be … A Family
, which also won an Emmy. She has starred in more than a dozen television films, many of which have given voice to such important social issues as mental illness (
Nobody's Child
, for which she won the Best Dramatic Actress Emmy), childhood sexual abuse (
Ultimate Betrayal
), discrimination against homosexuality (
Consenting Adult
), and abuse of the press (
The Lost Honor of Kathryn Beck
). And she even gender-bent the classic film
It's a Wonderful Life
by playing the James Stewart role in the 1977 remake,
It Happened One Christmas
, which she also produced.
Margaret Thomas (who became "Marlo" when, as a child, she couldn't pronounce her nickname, Margo) was born in Detroit but grew up in Los Angeles, where she attended Beverly Hills Catholic Grammar School and Marymount High. On the advice of her father, entertainer Danny Thomas (who wanted to shield Marlo and her two siblings, Terre and Tony, from the hardships of show business), she attended college at the University of Southern California and received a degree in education.
But Thomas's love of acting would soon lure her from the classroom to the theater, and she began studying with famed drama coach Sanford Meisner, and later, Lee Strasberg. She appeared in numerous regional theater and summer stock productions around the country, and began appearing on television with small roles on
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
77 Sunset Strip
, and
Ben Casey
. During the 1961–62 season, she played an aspiring actress on the sitcom
The Joey Bishop Show
. Her big break came when she auditioned for Mike Nichols and won the lead role in the London production of Neil Simon's
Barefoot in the Park
Then in 1965, Thomas costarred in a TV pilot about a young married couple entitled
Two's Company
. Although the pilot was not sold, ABC network executive Edgar Scherick was convinced that Thomas could be a television star—and the network, with the blessing of a prospective sponsor, Clairol hair products, set about finding just the right vehicle for her. ABC offered Thomas several scripts and treatments that did not interest her, so she went back to Scherick and sold him on the idea of doing a show, based in part on her own life, about a young woman who moves to Manhattan with the dream of living on her own and becoming an actress. She proposed titling it
Miss Independence
, a nickname given to her by her father.
To help her develop this idea, Thomas turned to friends Sam Denoff and Bill Persky, who became the creators, writers, and executive producers of the new series, which was renamed
That Girl
. With the pilot completed, Thomas went to London to begin her run in the West End production of
Barefoot in the Park
. While she was there,
That Girl
was sold to ABC. To oversee the detailed work of producing a weekly situation comedy, Thomas formed her own company, Daisy Productions, named after her favorite flower. Daisy would become the producing entity of her show, and was credited as such, though Thomas never took a screen credit for herself for her producing efforts.
"I ran the show, I signed the checks, but I chose to play down my power, so as not to be too threatening," Thomas told
TV Guide
in 2002. "Power in a woman in the '60s was seen as intimidating, and I bought into that. I was concerned that I wouldn't attract the best and brightest men in comedy to work for me."
Although at the time many real-life women were living alone and enjoying romance,
That Girl
"was revolutionary for showing it," said Gloria Steinem. And as feminist writer Susan L. Dworkin pointed out, the series clearly showed that "a woman can be on her own, remain unmarried, laugh, have the love of her parents, have her own apartment, and still have a wonderful life."
When Thomas decided to end the series after five years, the network wanted it to conclude it with a marriage between Ann and her longtime boyfriend, Donald. But Thomas and fellow producers Persky, Denoff, and Danny Arnold agreed that to end the series that way would send the message that marriage was the only "happy ending"—and that it would be a sellout to the young women who had taken the character of Ann Marie into their hearts. So even though Ann and Donald were engaged in the final season, the last episode revolved around the pair getting stuck in an elevator while on their way to a women's lib meeting.
For years after
That Girl
's five-year run, Thomas continued to hear from her fans, most of them women who wanted to be just like the high-spirited, determined Ann Marie. But it was the mail from other women—teenagers who were pregnant, wives who had been abused by their husbands—that would turn Thomas into a political activist. In 1972, after
That Girl
ended its run on ABC, she became a delegate for George McGovern at the Democratic National Convention and began her fight for causes she believed in, from the ERA to children's rights. That same year, Thomas—along with Steinem, Patricia T. Carbine, and Letty Pogrebin—became a "founding mother" of the Ms. Foundation for Women. Despite her long track record of social activism, however, Thomas is quick to describe herself as "just an average woman who reads the paper and then says, 'Oh, God, what can we do about this?'"
In 1974, Thomas created the children's record album,
Free to Be…You and Me
, a collection of songs and skits (performed by many of her friends, including Harry Belafonte, Alan Alda, Mel Brooks, and Rosey Grier) that became the first nonsexist, nonracist entertainment for children. The record was so successful that Thomas parlayed it into a children's book and a critically acclaimed television special, produced with friend Carole Hart. The 1988 sequel,
Free to Be… a Family
(which Thomas executive produced with Christopher Cerf) was equally successful.
Today, Thomas lives in New York with her husband, talk show host Phil Donahue, whom she married in 1980. She devotes much of her time to her role as National Outreach Director for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the world's leading research and treatment center for children with life-threatening diseases, which was founded by her father in 1962.
She is also a prominent presence in the publishing industry, creating such best-selling books as
The Right Words at the Right Time
(a collection of personal essays by 108 notable Americans, including Muhammad Ali, Paul Newman, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Oprah Winfrey);
Thanks & Giving: All Year Long
(a children's book and Grammy-winning companion CD); and
The Right Words at the Right Time, Vol. 2: Your Turn!
(featuring 101 essays by everyday people). All royalties from Thomas's books go to benefit St. Jude.
Thomas's celebrated career has earned her countless honors over the years. She has been awarded four Emmys, nine Emmy nominations, a Golden Globe, the George Foster Peabody Award, a Grammy, the NAACP Pathway to Excellence Award, the Helen Caldicott Award for Nuclear Disarmament, the Thomas Paine Award from the A.C.L.U., the American Women in Radio and Television Satellite Award, and induction into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame.
When Thomas was first starting out as an actress, a theater critic posed an unfair question. "She's good," he wrote, "but will she ever be as funny as Danny Thomas?" Devastated, Marlo told her father she wanted to change her name. "I raised you to be a thoroughbred," he responded, "and thoroughbreds don't look at the other horses. They just wear their blinders and run their own race."
And that girl—and this woman—has.

I joined the University of Sheffield as a lecturer in 2002 following training in molecular pharmacology.
My research training was in microbial molecular biology and my first postdoc was in Sheffield with Professor Anne Moir in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. I subsequently worked with Professor Caroline Dive in Manchester, studying the regulation of apoptosis in response to chemotherapeutic drugs. It was through this research that I became interested in the regulation of apoptosis by butyrate.
Research Interests
Work in my group examines the relationship between diet, short-chain fatty acid production and metabolism and cell fate in the normal and neoplastic colon. A detailed summary is found on my Research Page.
Butyrate and cell fate determination: Butyrate is of particular interest as it is described as an inhibitor of histone deacetylases – although we disagree with this (Corfe, 2012), is in clinical trials or clinical use, yet it is also a fermentation product of the gut microbiome present at pharmacologically active concentrations in the normal healthy colon lumen. It has been implicated as a mechanism for cancer prevention by fibre. HDACs do not solely deacetylate histones and a growing literature recognises protein acetylation as a regulatory mechanism comparable with phosphorylation. My group studies the transcription factor Sp1 (Chirakkal et al., 2006; Waby et al., 2010, Yu et al., 2010) and the cytoskeletal proteins keratin 8, 18 and 19 (Leech et al., 2008; Drake et al., 2009; Khan et al., 2011; Majumdar et al., 2012) all of whose functions are controlled, inter alia, by acetylation.
Short-chain fatty acid metabolism: We are currently working on the relationship between production of acetyl-coA (the substrate for protein acetylation) and acetylation of metabolic enzymes involved in its production. Differences between the management and effects of SCFA are a particular interest (Kilner et al., 2012; Astbury & Corfe 2012)). We use a combination of systems biology and protemics for this work.
Crypt cell fate modelling: We have noted changes in the composition of cell types in the colon crypt in response to butyrate and to neoplasia (Yu et al., 2011) and we are developing fully semantic models to examine crypt cell fate determination (Smallbone and Corfe, submitted).
Organ level modelling: I am increasingly interested in the concept of field cancerization as applied to the colon and an ongoing study using proteomic approaches is revealing multiple proteins and pathways that are altered in the normal tissues around fields (Corfe et al., 2009) has led us to propose testable qualitative models to axamine mechanisms of field cancerization (Rosser et al, submitted). Modelling approaches are being trialled in collaboration with Professor Steve Billings, Yifan Zhao and Hualiang Wang (ACSE) and Kieran Smallbone (MCISB).
Diet-Microbiome Interactions, Functional analysis of Probiotics: I am sceptical about the centrality of fibre as a determinant of SCFA concentrations (Williams et al., submitted). We have initiated a programme of studies to generate a complete detailed description of the diet, microbiome and luminal metabolome in steady state and in response to probiotics. This is done in collaboration with Julian Marchesi (Cardiff), Sue Plummer and Iveta Garaiova (Obsidian Ltd). We are using a non-linear approach to assess which factors are important and which factors interact in the production of SCFA, in collaboration with Professor Stephen Billings (Automated Control and Systems Engineering).
Interface with Humanities: Gastrointestinal conditions often get reported late or at an advanced state due to stigmatisation of GI functions by society. Irritable Bowel Syndrome in particular is an often-debilitating . We are collaborating with Vicky Grant and Brendan Stone (English) to develop narratives around IBS. We have explored social media and its conflict with peer-reviewed literature within a framework of discourse theory (Sprake et al., 2012). We are interested in the philosophy of systems biology and the scientists relationship with hypothesis rejection (Evans & Corfe, submitted; Corfe, 2012; Blog: scientist or icoloclast?).
Teaching Interests
I am a member of the Bioinfomatics Trainers Network.
I jointly deliver the bioinformatics components of the cross-Faculty DDP in Proteomics-Informatics.
I organised a cross-Faculty training session in Metabolomics Cheminformatics.
I collaborate with EBI to deliver bioinformatics training through learned societies.
I lead the Literature Review Module in the MMedSci in Human Nutrition.
I developed and led the Research Skills Module (in 2011), the Molecular Nutrition Module (in 2008), and the Literature Review Module (in 2010) and the Clinical Nutrition Module (in 2002) in the MMedSci in Human Nutrition.

FRESNO, Calif. - After dropping the first game against Butler 12-9 in 10 innings, the Fresno State baseball team regrouped around senior Thomas Harlan, who led the Bulldogs to a 6-0 win in the night cap Saturday at Beiden Field.
The lefty finished with a career-high eight strikeouts after walking just one of the 31 batters he faced in his second career complete game.
"It feels good," said Harlan of the win. "[Coach] Rousey called a great game, the defense played well, [Austin] Wynns caught a great game and [Jordan] Brink made some great plays tonight that actually helped a lot."
Game One
Fresno State (2-1) opened the day with eight runs on five hits in the first two innings.
"As a team, we came out in that first game and opened it up really nice," said senior Patrick Hutcheson.
Butler rallied in the middle innings, picking up nine runs in three innings to take the lead in the top of the sixth.
"We battled, got ahead early and kind of got sucked in the middle a little bit," said Trent Garrison who earned his first start since going out with a season ending injury in game one of 2011.
Junior Justin Haley entered the game in the top of the sixth inning with the Bulldogs up 8-6. He would strike out Mike Hoscheit to end the inning, but not before Butler took the lead 9-8.
Fresno State answered in the bottom of the inning by loading the bases. Despite turning a double play, Butler's defense could not keep the Bulldogs off the board. Both teams were unable to cross the plate until Butler opened the 10th inning with a three-run rally.
With one out in the bottom of the 10th, Hutcheson walked and Butler sent for its closer, sidearm right-hander Chase Byerly. He was the second sidearm pitcher on Butler's roster that the Bulldogs saw that game, replacing lefty Brad Schnitzer.
The change proved too much for the Bulldogs whose next two batters struck out.
`We weren't able to capitalize in the end," said Hutcheson who tied a career-high in walks (3) during the afternoon game.
Haley (0-1) picked up the loss after going 4.2 innings and striking out a game high six batters.
After four pitchers on the mound for Butler, Schnitzer (1-0) earned the win and Byerly the save.
Game Two
Both teams remained scoreless through three innings.
Harlan struck out the side in the top of the fourth to start the momentum for Fresno State and the lineup responded.
Garrison led-off the inning with a walk. Brink singled through the right side and sent Garrison to third. The pair advanced after a low pitch got away from catcher Radley Haddad, scoring Garrison. A single up the middle by junior Justin Charles then scored Brink from second and the Bulldogs took the 2-0 lead before the inning was ended by a double play.
Harlan (1-0) allowed only one hit per inning on average for the remainder of the game. He is the second Bulldog this season to pitch a shutout.
"Tommy threw a good game," said Garrison who went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in the night game.
Billy Laing (0-1) picked up the loss for Butler (1-2) after going seven innings and giving up five runs on eight hits.
Junior Daniel Moultrie went 5-for-8 on the day and freshman Jordan Luplow finished with two doubles and two stolen bases.
Sophomore Will Anderson will start on the mound in the series finale. This will be his first collegiate start after eight appearances in 2011. The Bulldogs have the game plan set for their last battle with Butler.
"Same game plan, come in, try and attack their pitching staff and play solid defense behind Will," said Hutcheson. "It's just one more game and hopefully we can get out of it with a win tomorrow."
The last game of the series is tomorrow, Sunday, Feb. 19 at 1:05 p.m. Fans can purchase season and single-game tickets online or by calling the Bulldog Ticket Office at 559-278-3647.
"We Are Your Team!" Check out the action on game day from AM 940 KYNO, the flagship station for Bulldog baseball. Follow us on Facebook (fresnostateathletics) and Twitter (@FSAthletics).

At The GreenHarvest Group we understand that modern farmers face a multitude of economic, agricultural and environmental pressures. Yield maximization and nutrient efficiency are paramount, but expensive Nitrogen fertilizers can squeeze profit margins and are damaging to the soil and surrounding water tables. Historically, the most efficient, yield-maximizing fertilizing practices have also been the most expensive and most environmentally damaging. As a result, soil organic matter is depleted and overall soil health declines. Until now, no single product has been introduced with the ability to address all these issues at once and on a large scale. GreenHarvest™ technology represents a unique solution that can simultaneously:
- boost farm output by maximizing crop yields and bringing infertile land into production
- significantly reduce farmer costs
- decrease dependence on Nitrogen and other chemical applications
- improve quality of crops grown
- increase overall land health and value
- reduce pollution from nutrient runoff and greenhouse gas emissions
For ease of application, GreenHarvest™ products are available in standard sized prills and applied with existing fertilizing equipment and techniques. Additionally, GreenHarvest™ formulations can be customized to offer optimal Nitrogen efficiency for specific soil and crop types.

people who do not think homeschooling is good!!
I have heard second-hand of some home-schooling situations that were not good. Every situation I have seen has been well-organized and focussed on what the children need. My own home-schooling has been very positive both in educational impace and family impact. And when people ask if its legal, they are probably just un-informed, not negative.
It is a matter of opinion. I use to be one of "those" being in South Africa, I can tell you I have change my mind. Homescooling is the way to go.It all depends on you, the support you get and then you can have it all. My advice - surround you with positive people - be a team player outside home schooling.It can be done.Be proud , you know who you are and do not let people identify you.
I've been HSing my 2 kids for 4+ years now and i can state that it has been a very positive experience in every way.
The argument usually is that HSed kids don't develop their social skills. This is totally bogus.
We make sure to involve our kids in many activities that allow them to mix with children their age. Most communities have sports programs that offer a wide range of choices.
HSed Kids lead the US in many areas of scholastic achievement. Watch a National Spelling competition someday and you will see what i mean. Many HSed kids are on the top rungs if not winning outright.
Also, HSed kids are reported to be attending college at a much higher percentage compared to those that attend public schools.
I have two children that I am now home schooling. They have attended public school for a few years in the past. I have to say that switching to home school for them was the best thing we could have ever done. Both of them have always been good students, always had good grades. Now they are doing even better and we are having fun with it as well. The children have a chance to learn at their own pace, be it slower or faster, whatever is needed. We dont move on to a new skill until the first one is mastered. Unlike the children in public school, I know my children have learned everything that was taught. We dont do it all on our own, they are in a cyber program but due to their ages they need to be taught the skills by an adult. As they get older, they should be able to do more of the work on their own. Im not trying to trash public school. Its just my opinion, but home schooling is the best way to be sure that the children are actully learning everything that they will need to know. As long as the kids can stay active in sports or other programs with children around their own age, I dont think a parent could make a better choice.

I created this recipe myself with a few tips from my mom and grandma. Because it's so quick and easy, this cobbler can be made in minutes to suit any occasion. I've used it for a breakfast fruit dish, dinner dessert and light snack.
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) sliced peaches, drained
- 1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pour butter into a shallow 2-qt. baking dish; set aside. Drain peaches, reserving 1/4 cup juice. In a saucepan, bring the peaches and juice just to a boil. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, flour, milk, baking powder and salt; mix well. Pour over butter in baking dish. Spoon hot peaches over batter. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Serve warm. Yield: 6-8 servings.
