From: Elliot Jay Tanzer
Temecula, California
Dear fellow astrologer and student of astrology,
It has been over thirty years since Jim Lewis introduced his ground breaking and award winning Astro*Carto*Graphy Map format. An idea that had been discussed by astrologers for generations and, as a result of the then new advances in computer capability, was finally available for anyone to have.
Yet, over the years, I have been truly amazed at how few professional astrologers and astrology students have actually explored their Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps to discover what planetary line they are actually living on? Many seem not even curious. I find this particularly puzzling, as many of these same astrologers will obsess over the chart of the latest plane crash or political candidate. You would think they might want to know a little bit more about their own astrological reality?
Then there are the few, who after having purchased a Jim Lewis' Astro*Carto*Graphy Map might shrug and mumble some vague remark, "Yeah, the Map told me to live in Butte, Montana or Tulsa, Oklahoma, and that ain't happening." Or they believe they are looking for places that a planetary line goes right through without any understanding of how wide an 'orb' a planetary line might have. And then of course there are some of these otherwise fine astrologers (such as my self), after actually reading Jim Lewis' Astro*Carto*Graphy Manual, thought they knew what they were doing and began advising clients on where in the world they should live!
What most of these otherwise fine astrologers do not know (and which I didn't know until 1996) is that only a few years after publishing the Astro*Carto*Graphy Manual, based on his further observations and client feed back, Jim Lewis realized his initial recommendations were far too conservative. Then, in his later writings and in his Astro*Carto*Graphy Certification Course, Jim revised his recommendation of how to convert hundreds of miles into fractions of an inch. Which is, after all, the key to accurate Astro*Carto*Graphy Map evaluation.
Unfortunately, Jim died before changing the information in the Astro*Carto*Graphy Manual, which under copyright laws is considered a historical documentary and can not be altered. As most astrologers never got the 'memo,' they continue to under evaluate the influence of the planetary lines.
It is due to this lapse in public awareness that I was motivated to make available what can be considered the 'secret ingredient' of accurate Astro*Carto*Graphy Map evaluations - that is how to determine how close is close enough to enjoy the benefits, for example, of Venus or Jupiter, while far enough away to avoid the burdensome influences of, for example, Saturn or Pluto - that is, how to accurately convert hundreds of miles into fractions of an inch. After all, we are measuring vibrational influence and not something solid. That is, the vibration gets weaker the further away we go. Question is: how far away is finally far enough? Or, how close can we get and be close enough? And that's it, the secret to accurate Astro*Carto*Graphy Map evaluations is in the measurements.
Whether you're new to Astro*Carto*Graphy,
or read Jim Lewis' Astro*Carto*Graphy Manual, my training manual,
Evaluating Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps:
Finding the Best Places to Live & Travel - Your Step by Step Guide
will provide you with the missing link
and show you how to accurately interpret Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps.
Likewise, as a professional astrologer since 1973, once I heard about Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps, I ordered mine, read the Manual, it seemed pretty obvious, and ordered an occasional Map if requested by a client. However, it was not until 1996 when I was invited to give a lecture at the 2nd International Feng Shui Conference, when toward the end of my lecture on various feng shui applications that I thought to introduce Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps to the feng shui community as Global Feng Shui.
After all, feng shui people want to know not just how to decorate a house to achieve and maintain harmony, but also the best way to construct and even the best way to position a house on a piece of property. And now here was an even bigger piece of the feng shui puzzle: where in the world are the best geographical locations to choose to live and how does the geographical location influence health, relationship harmony and the quality of life. Wow!
Immediately after the lecture, and for many weeks after the Conference, the demand for Astro*Carto*Graphy Map consultations kept coming in making Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps consultations a major feature of my astrological services. Since then, I have averaged over a hundred Astro*Carto*Graphy Map evaluations a year! Though mostly word of mouth referrals, to keep interest going even during lectures on other subjects, I always mentioned Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps and hand out a reprint of an article I wrote on Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps for attendees to read afterwards. I also send out this same article to various holistic health and conscious living publications that now can be found in even the smallest of towns across the nation. It's these responses and referrals over the years that have kept me working as a professional astrologer.
After all, if someone has been struggling with their health and seems to continually repeat the same problems in relationships over and over again, and suddenly discovers that there may be another location where their health will improve and relationship harmony can finally be attained, the desire to know is too good to ignore. Of course I am always very clear to inform my clients that just as a move won't make them taller or shorter, their health and or relationship issues won't like magic just disappear.
However, as has been my experience personally, and as I have gotten feed back from clients over the years, the new location will provide a more supportive environment for healing both the body and the emotions. And it is not always about financial success, as financial success can be obtained on any line. But rather it is about one's enjoyment of the success that has been achieved, and how well we handle whatever ups and downs might come our way. Ultimately, it is all about how well we live our lives.
And my book is filled with Case Histories to illustrate what can, and has happened, as a result of someone's relocation: a diagnosis for heart surgery on a Pluto line turned into polyps on the larynx irritating the heart being removed after getting a second opinion on a Venus line, twelve cavities for an eight year old on a Saturn line, after moving to a Jupiter line has resulted in not one cavity in ten years, and so forth and so on.
Given the sudden and remarkable increase in demand for Astro*Carto*Graphy Map readings, I thought it prudent to hone my skills by reading what else had been written. It was only then that I discovered my own mistake to think I knew what I was doing simply by reading Jim Lewis' original Astro*Carto*Graphy Manual.
It wasn't until after I consumed all written material available, including Jim Lewis' Certification Course, that I realized, though the topic of measurement was discussed by a few writers, the information wasn't readily assessable in their books - and what was needed was an actual training manual. It was with this in mind that I structured my Step by Step Guide to first demonstrate proper conversion of miles to fractions of an inch or degree in an easy to do format in a manner that even the lay person could follow; and which would teach the professional and student of astrology how to correctly evaluate the influence of the planetary lines found on an Astro*Carto*Graphy Map, so they can confidently do Astro*Carto*Graphy Map readings for their clients as well.
Prepping a Map: In my Step by Step Guide I also share the methodology I have developed over the years for prepping an Astro*Carto*Graphy Map to personalize the results for the individual client. So the client can clearly see, not just a city here or there, but which large areas that lie between specific latitudes and longitudes that would be considered most favorable for them.
Risk Assessment: Though Jim Lewis' interpretation of the planetary lines are excellent, I thought I would not only share my own 'thumbnail sketches' on the influences of each planetary line, but take it a step further and divide those interpretations into the positive and likely negative probabilities, a kind of Risk Assessment, commenting on the likelihood of which planets are more likely to be favorable, and under what circumstances not so favorable.
Health Changes: Given my many years as a student of alternative and holistic health modalities, you will find this is also the first book to discuss the health implications that are associated with living on each of the planetary line.
Results onto a World Atlas: Then, as the Astro*Carto*Graphy Map lacks clear geographical boundaries and only gives the location of a few major cities around the world, in the final step I demonstrate how to transpose the Astro*Carto*Graphy Map latitude and longitude results onto a World Atlas. In this way the client can clearly see the actual geographical area that is being recommended as most favorable, which then enables them to make an informed decision as to whether they want to live in a big or small city, in the mountain or near a body of water, and so forth.
Case Histories: Finally, I bring it all to completion with a chapter of Case Histories, many of which are indicative of how I came to some of my conclusions about which planets are desirable, and which should be avoided, if at all possible.
Dual UK and USA Formats: There is also an alternative Step by Step chapter on how to prep the 'Latitude Crossings' (which are used to fine tune the planetary lines) for those who might purchase their Astro*Carto*Graphy Map from the USA franchise, and the slightly different formatted version for those maps obtained from the UK franchise.
Other Stuff Some Astrologers Might Want to Know: Then for the student of astrology, there is a last section that should answer some technical questions as to why to use In Mundo, the difference between an Astro*Carto*Graphy Map and a Relocated Natal Chart to how to set up your computer to record your sessions on a CD, followed by a comprehensive Bibliography of all books available on the subject of Locational Astrology - all of which I highly recommend for those who want to know everything there is to know.
Color Illustrations: All the Step by Step instructions are illustrated in color with maps taken from my files, and I have chosen a layflat binding, so the book will stay open and can be easily used as a workbook.
There is no other training manual that explains a method of evaluation in a Step by Step format. No other training manual gives a Risk Assessment of the influences of each of the planetary lines, no other training manual elaborates on the health implications of each of the lines, and no other training manual demonstrates a methodology of personalizing the Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps to bring them graphically alive. In short, there is no other training manual like this one.
No other training manual takes you by the hand
and walks you through the process Step by Step.
As mentioned, I encourage you to read all other books written about Astro*Carto*Graphy. If you are a serious student, you should want to know what other authorities have to add to the Astro*Carto*Graphy pool of knowledge. However, as you will discover, almost all other books are about Astro*Carto*Graphy theory - the whys - and though one or two mention the hows, no book provides the details and nuances of Astro*Carto*Graphy Map interpretation as I do. It is that simple. If you are serious about learning Astro*Carto*Graphy, you want my training manual, which is like having me as your personal trainer guiding you all the way.
Just think about it: my training manual is the equivalent of taking a workshop on Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps with someone who has the experience of having done well over 1500 map evaluations, has honed his skills, has developed a viable methodology to personalize the material, and can answer all your questions as a professional astrologer who wants to do his or her very best when giving a consultation. Not this vague, simplistic: "Go to Mercury to write a book," or, "Go to Venus to fall in love" stuff. Or, "Jupiter goes through Dogpatch, you'll find happiness if you live there."
And consider this a rare opportunity,
as this equivalent of an 'Astro*Carto*Graphy Workshop' can be done
without the additional cost of air travel and a hotel room!
With my training manual you can acquire the skill needed to accurately evaluate an
Astro*Carto*Graphy Map at your leisure and in the comfort of your home.
And though the price of my training manual after April 15, and as posted on the astronumerics.com website (the only franchised distributor of Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps in the western hemisphere), will be $49.95 - the pre-publication price for members of ISAR, NCGR, AFAN, AFA, readers of The Mountain Astrologer magazine, and anyone else connected to astrology is at a 25% discount for only $37.00 plus $3 s&h (additional postage will apply for orders outside the U.S.A. Books will be available in Europe through Equinox Astrology, and on their website: equinoxastrology.com).
Let me show you at a fraction of the cost of
Jim Lewis' Certification Course,
how to accurately interpret Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps
to find the best location for you to live,
while increasing your income as an astrologer at the same time.
"In his workbook on Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps, Elliot Jay Tanzer, well known for his work with Feng Shui, presents a clear Step by Step approach to understanding and working with A*C*G Maps, clarifying many of the questions that may arise from reading the pioneering work of the late Jim Lewis.
Elliot guides us easily and skillfully through the crucial information astrologers need to be familiar with when using A*C*G Maps. Starting with the basic principles of A*C*G Map analysis, Elliot reminds us of their overall purpose, "revealing your unique chemistry with different areas around the world and how a given location might affect who you are and who you are becoming". This chapter gives clear answers in easy to read paragraphs to a multitude of questions re the use of A*C*G Maps, including: how soon planetary energy is experienced, karma, relationships, remote activation, and the connection with transits and progressions.
This latest book by Elliot…is a practical, easy to read, Step by Step guide on understanding Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps. Elliot focuses in detail on one of his two main objectives in writing this workbook - the most accurate orb of influence of each planetary line, as well as how to actually carry out the measurements when looking at the A*C*G Map. This workbook is an excellent tool to assist astrologers at all levels to fill any knowledge gaps in the complex art of interpreting A*C*G Maps."
~~~Margaret Gray, review in the
ISAR Journal, August, 2009
"Elliot Tanzer's Evaluating Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps will be appreciated by many readers, from lay people with an interest in their A*C*G Map to professional astrologers who want to have more confidence in analyzing A*C*G Maps for their clients. The author includes all that is needed for this book to serve as a well-rounded text on the subject."
~~~Mary Plumb, review in
The Mountain Astrologer, Sept./Oct. 2009
"Tanzer provides excellent maps and samples to clarify his discussion. He also provides a very clear explanation of latitude crossings. A good bibliography rounds out the book....If you're less interested in the whys than the how-tos and want to get a better handle on actually working with the maps…have a look at this book….You won't find a clearer explanation of measurement anywhere."
~~~Donna Van Toen, review in
NCGR memberletter, Sept./Oct. 2009
You might ask, "Why not use home computer software to generate an AstroMap, and save the whole $15?" Let me suggest a few reasons. Though the maps generated on software for home computers are accurately calculated, they are printed on an 8 1/2 x11 piece of paper and almost half the size of an official Jim Lewis formatted Astro*Carto*Graphy Map. This means converting hundreds of miles into fractions of an inch ends up being 1/16 or even 1/32 of an inch. Needless to say, as we are measuring vibration, and not something solid, much of the refinement is lost.
Also, notice I referred to these maps as 'AstroMaps' and not Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps, or even A*C*G Maps, as Astro*Carto*Graphy is a registered trademark. So, though not enforced, it is illegal to refer to most of those 'other maps' as Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps, or even to use these 'other maps' to counsel a client and advertise you do Astro*Carto*Graphy Map readings, as you really are not. Apart from this legal technicality, the $15 cost of the Astro*Carto*Graphy Map can easily be passed along to your client as a Materials Fee to be billed in addition to your professional fee. And besides, Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps come in a distinctive folder and are printed in color on quality paper, making a professional looking package to give your client, along with the CD recording of the consultation session.
Jim Lewis' formatted A*C*G Maps can be obtained in North and South America from Astro Numeric Service, (www.astronumerics.com) or in Europe, Africa, and Australasia from Equinox Astrology (www.astrocartography.co.uk).
"Elliot Jay Tanzer's Evaluating Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps is a major contribution to the important field of relocation astrology. His approach to key topics such as planetary combinations and crossing lines demonstrates his wealth of experience, astrological expertise and skills as a teacher and communicator. I highly recommend this book to anyone working with Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps."
~~~Jeff Jawer, astrologer, writer,
publisher of StarIQ.com
"This Step by Step Guide is an important companion to the A*C*G Map Kit as it explains how to find suitable locations anywhere in the world. In fact, the method revealed in this Step by Step Guide is the exact technique I've been using myself for over 20 years….What really impressed me is that Elliot has explained this method in such a way that it is very easy to understand. Highly recommended."
~~~David Meadows, astrologer, author of
Where in the World with Astro*Carto*Graphy?
"Elliot Jay Tanzer's, Evaluating Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps is excellent. It allows novice readers a simple…window into their "places" in the world. We all have a location and time of birth, but we are not limited to that place, since the planets are simply seen in different parts of the world at the same time - it is where they are in those other places that allows us to express parts of ourself otherwise not active, or simply waiting to be enlivened.…Tanzer's book…gives an insight to A*C*G that makes the apparent complexity truly comprehensible! And, too, it is for the initiated astrologer, who…wants a good, sharp, short and thorough manual. I recommend this book highly to all levels of readers . . . ."

The Game of Probability: Literature and Calculation from Pascal to Kleist
ISBN13:by Campe, Rudiger; Wiggins, Ellwood
Stanford Univ Pr
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 1/9/2013.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
There exist literary histories of probability and scientific histories of probability, but it has generally been thought that the two did not meet. Campe begs to differ. Mathematical probability, he argues, took over the role of the old probability of poets, orators, and logicians, albeit in scientific terms. Indeed, mathematical probability would not even have been possible without the other probability, whose roots lay in classical antiquity. The Game of Probabilityrevisits the seventeenth and eighteenth-century "probabilistic revolution," providing a history of the relations between mathematical and rhetorical techniques, between the scientific and the aesthetic. This was a revolution that overthrew the "order of things," notably the way that science and art positioned themselves with respect to reality, and its participants included a wide variety of people from as many walks of life. Campe devotes chapters to them in turn. Focusing on the interpretation of games of chance as the model for probability and on the reinterpretation of aesthetic form as verisimilitude (a critical question for theoreticians of that new literary genre, the novel), the scope alone of Campe's book argues for probability's crucial role in the constitution of modernity.

This weekend, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" opens. It is a film from a popular science fiction franchise, and it is set in a grim future. Often, sci fi franchises imagine thoroughly unappealing worlds with many unlikeable characters. An example of this is the comic book series "Judge Dredd," which has been adapted into two movies. The most recent, "Dredd," came out 2012.
"Dredd" is set in a future where crime permeates all aspects of society. Because of this, cops are one stop law enforcement agents. They are empowered as "judges," who can apprehend the criminals and be the judge, jury and, if necessary, executioner to n'er do wells when they catch them. Their intimidating uniforms are out-sized helmets and bulky suits. The seasoned Judge Dredd (played by Karl Urban) is assigned to test novice Cassandra Anderson (played by Olivia Thrilby), who has psychic abilities and almost passed her aptitude test. She is tested by shadowing him for a day on the job. They go to Peach Trees, a giant slum tower, to investigate the deaths of a few people who were thrown from the top floor. On the top floor is Ma-Ma (played by Lena Headey), a dangerous drug lord who deals in a new drug called slo-mo, which slows everything down. When she learns they are taking one of her clan's members for questioning, Ma-Ma seizes control of the building and orders the judges to be killed.
This movie is a lot of fun to watch as it has memorable characters and stunning action scenes. Judge Dredd is a fighter par excellence. Anderson plays off his physical prowess with her more emotive capabilities quite well. She is also a strong warrior in her own right.
Karl Urban is perfect in the title role. He has a powerful voice and is a no-nonsense character. Olivia Thrilby is equally impressive as Anderson. Although she is less experienced than her boss, she still has street smarts. Lena Headey is excellent as the villain. Unlike many comic book villains, she is calm, which makes her very scary.
"Dredd" is a great choice for fans of shoot 'em up action films.

In Iraq generally, estimates vary, but a very conservative count puts violent civilian deaths (excluding police) from the eve of the invasion of 2003 to the end of 2010 at between 65,000 and 125,000. They included more than 400 assassinated Iraqi academics and almost 150 journalists killed on assignment.
The true number may be many, many times greater. In Afghanistan, from 7 October 2001, the day the bombing started, to mid-October 2003, between 3,000 and 3,600 civilians were killed just by coalition air strikes. Many more have died in other "collateral damage" incidents or through the actions of insurgents.

Grab Bag Theater Presents "The Wizard of Oz"
Source: Steve Hoover
May 23, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
This past Friday, Grab Bag Theater opened the running of their fourth musical. Grab Bag Theater, founded in 2011, is an entirely student run theater company that, despite the challenges members faced, was excited to open "The Wizard of Oz" and was proud of what they had created.
Being a small theater company, Grab Bag Theater faces certain setbacks that other companies might not have to, such as ensuring sufficient funding. In the case of this year's musical, it was the challenge of a small cast. Sophomore and co-director of "The Wizard of Oz," Natalie Silverman said, "there are challenges that come along with having such a small cast, especially when the show you are doing calls for so many parts." However, the small cast did not stop Grab Bag from putting on a fun show that showcased the talent found in the community.
"We chose to do such a known show because it attracts a larger audience," Silverman commented. Other theaters and schools in the area, such as Hillview Middle School, have also recently put on "The Wizard of Oz," but Silverman says, "I think Grab Bag brings something special and it is noticeable. People will want to come to compare our show to others… The shows will be very different, but there is an element that only Grab Bag can bring."
As Sophi Bock, stage manager for "The Wizard of Oz", put it, "Student theater is something different because everything is resting on you. Everything is resting on you and your team of high school, middle school, and college students." And, with all the challenges and obstacles members face, all Bock had to say was, "The reason we are working so hard is because this is something super important to us and absolutely amazing."
I highly recommend for people to go and see this show. Grab Bag Theater once again has put on a show that shows the talent that students possess and that students can take the initiative to put on a production independently.

Rachel Zoe has cancelled her New York Fashion Week show, which was scheduled at noon on Feb. 13, at The Salon at Lincoln Center, according to a Jan. 31 WWD report. The celebrity fashion stylist and mother is choosing to spend quality time with family. "While I look forward to New York Fashion Week each season, I've made the difficult decision to move our fall 2014 runway show from Feb. 13 in New York to a later date in Los Angeles. As a new mother, my newborn son is too young to travel with me and I'm unable to leave him for the amount of time required to appropriately prepare for the show in New York," she said.
She may be bowing out of Fashion Week this season, but do not count Zoe out for September. "I look forward to being back on the NYFW calendar in September," the stylist added. "Market will proceed on Feb. 10 in NYC as planned."
E! News reports that Zoe gave birth to her second son, Kais Jagger on Dec. 22, and that she and her husband Roger Berman are also parents to 2-year-old son, Skyler. Zoe's new collection is reportedly inspired by a très chic Parisian woman in the sixties, featuring a combination of "French bohemia with Mod elements," including tailored jackets, mod shifts, houndstooth, plaid and textured tweeds, WWD reports.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week - New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2014 takes over New York from Feb. 6 through Feb. 13.

Workington 0-2 Gateshead
Gateshead completed a quickfire Cumbrian treble when first half goals from Jon Shaw and Micky Cummins brought a 2-0 win at Conference North club Workington.
Just as in the 4-0 win at Kendal two days earlier Gateshead were excellent in the first half and had their hosts chasing the ball for long periods.
The Tynesiders used the width of a big Borough Park pitch with Phil Turnbull spraying long passes to the flanks with gun barrel accuracy.
Workington had started the better of the two sides and had a chance to take the lead before Gateshead powered in front in their first attack of note.
Tim Deasy returned in goal with Paul Farman unable to take part due to a foot injury and trialists Ewan Moyes, Chris Moore and Kyle Nix again all started.
Reds midfielder Tony Hopper found space on the right early on to cut the ball back to Phil McLuckie who sidefooted just wide of the far post from 14 yards.
Sam Rents, given the freedom of Borough Park in the first half, then curled in a great cross from the left that saw Shaw rise above his marker to head into the bottom corner from 12 yards.
It was a great finish from the former England C man, his third goal in two games, though the Reds spurned a golden opportunity to equalise shortly afterwards.
The Heed defence failed to clear a Mark Boyd corner from the right, the ball eventually landing at the feet of Hopper who volleyed wastefully over the bar.
The rest of the half was dominated by a confident Gateshead side with full backs Rents and Eddie Odhiambo prominent in advanced roles.
Trialist Chris Moore alternated between the right and left flank but played mainly on the right where he was the most effective.
It was from Moore's right side cross that Gateshead doubled their lead on 20 minutes.
Moore's low delivery saw Shaw's path to goal blocked by two defenders but when the ball broke to Cummins the Irishman drilled a powerful right foot shot into the net from 14 yards - his first goal for the club.
Another Odhiambo nutmeg inside the opponents box saw the full back pull the ball back to Nix, Anthony Wright eventually heading just over his own bar.
Rents shots past the angle from 20 yards while captain Ben Clark almost sliced an attempted clearance into his own net on the stroke of half-time.
Five changes were made at half-time with teenager Rob Briggs then replacing Nix midway through the second half.
Moore almost made it three after the break with an angled shot that was parried by the Reds keeper with Kris Gate just unable to turn the loose ball into the net.
After that the home side came more into the game and went close on a couple of occasions.
For Gateshead good work on the right saw Briggs' goalbound header deflected over the bar by Kyle May and from the resultant corner Gary Mulligan's downward header was saved on the line.
McLuckie had an effort ruled out for offside at the other end eight minutes from time to ensure another clean sheet.
Workington: Taylor, Hewson, A.Wright, May, Andrews, Boyd, McLuckie, Hopper, J.Wright, Arnison, Sloan
Subs: Jolly (gk), Dillon, Jones, McNiven, Tucker, Wordsworth, Blake, Simpson, Main
Gateshead: Deasy, Odhiambo, Rents (Baxter 46), Moyes (Curtis 46), Clark, Moore, Turnbull, Cummins (Gate 46), Nix (Briggs 69), Shaw (Mulligan 46), Odubade (Gillies 46)

Last month we told you about a team of Brigham Young University engineering students, who created a clever Batman-inspired wall-climbing system. They were competing in the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory's 2012 Service Academy and University Engineering Challenge, in which teams had to design gadgets that would allow soldiers to safely and quickly ascend vertical surfaces. Given that the Brigham Young entry didn't take first place, however, we thought it only made sense to take a look at the entry that did ... and that would be a little something known as the Personal Vacuum Assisted Climber (PVAC), designed by a team from Utah State University.

Sometimes the most advanced innovations are rooted in the simplest questions. In this case, the question was, "If we can help a person with no legs to run, why can't we help a person with an injured leg to walk?" The answer was the Flex Leg. Read More
The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory wants to find a better way for airmen to scale tall structures or rock faces, so it did what just about anyone seeking new ideas does these days – it held a contest. Its 2012 Service Academy and University Engineering Challenge saw teams from 17 universities and three service academies showing off their wall-scaling systems, earlier this month at Wright State University's Calamityville tactical laboratory in Fairborn, Ohio. One of the teams, from Utah's Brigham Young University, devised an impressive system that was inspired directly by Batman's grappling hook-shooting, power winch-equipped gun.Read More
Brigham Young University (BYU) students are celebrating after setting a new land speed record for an electric car in the "E1" (under 1,100 lbs/499 kg) class. The record of 155.8 mph (250.7 km/h) set by the "Electric Blue" streamliner at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah was averaged over the two required qualifying runs, one of which saw the car reach a speed of 175 mph (281.6 km/h). The record marks the end of a seven year quest by BYU students led by Perry Carter who, having just retired as an associate professor, gets to bow out on top.Read More
A fast and accurate test for Autism has been developed by researchers at McLean Hospital and the University of Utah. It is hoped that the biologically based test, which uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to measure brain activity, can replace the subjective test currently used for diagnosis of the condition.

Go ahead, stare. It's OK, they want you to. Delta 7 Bikes currently manufactures two of the most unusual-looking bicycles on the market, the Arantix hardtail mountain bike and the Ascend road bike. Their open-lattice spider-web tubes incorporate patented IsoTruss geometric design, wherein carbon fiber and Kevlar are woven into a network of isosceles triangles. The triangles join together to form pyramid-shaped trusses, which provide incredible structural support while using a minimum of material. If you're a bicycle-maker looking for something with a great strength-to-weight ratio, it's hard to beat.Read More

February 9, 2006 Vanderbilt University, Brigham Young University and Ceragenix Pharmaceuticals have announced that one of a family of compounds, called Ceragenins (or CSAs) shows potent virucidal activity in in vitro laboratory tests against multiple strains of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS. CSAs were invented by Dr. Paul D. Savage of Brigham Young University's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and exclusively licensed to Ceragenix. In data previously presented by Dr. Savage and other researchers, CSAs have been shown to have broad spectrum antibacterial activity. Dr. Derya Unutmaz, Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, tested several CSAs in his laboratory for their ability to kill HIV directly and whilst cautious, acknowledged that CSAs could be the breakthrough technology to combat HIV/AIDS researchers the world has been waiting for.Read More

'The Artist,' 'Thor,' 'Bridesmaids' among Costume Designers Guild nominees
Following on the heels of the Cinema Audio Society today is the Costume Designers Guild, which has selected nominees in its three patented categories.
The first thing you'll notice, naturally, is yet another "War Horse" snub. I haven't been expecting an Oscar nomination for the film's costumes and the period field is particularly stacked this season, but nevertheless, another miss.
There aren't many surprises on the list, though the appearance of "X-Men: First Class" in the fantasy category is a nice inclusion for its blend of period styles with comic book tropes. Once upon a time I thought costumer Sammy Sheldon might be a possibility for an Oscar nod, and maybe that's even still the case. Ditto "Thor," outfitted by four-time nominee Alexandra Byrne.
Another pleasant change of pace was "Melancholia" showing up in the contemporary field, alongside expected contenders like "Bridesmaids," "The Descendants" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" and that signature scorpion jacket gets a nice notice there, too.
The safe haven for the "Harry Potter" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" films has been the fantasy field here for a few years, and both entries in the respective franchises showed up today. Though "Red Riding Hood" getting to call itself an awards player of any sort -- yikes.
As usual, you can expect the fair majority of eventual Oscar nominees to include period contenders. Oscar frontrunner "The Artist" was chalked up there, along with predicted nominees "Jane Eyre," "The Help" and "Hugo." Also there is "W.E.," as well a serious contender.
In the way of snubs, the inventive work on "Immortals" (spotlighted in our recent list of bubble-contending hopefuls) received no love, nor did, perhaps more surprisingly, "Anonymous." Ditto other possible nominees like "My Week with Marilyn" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" (the latter, again, spotlighted by Guy recently). And it's interesting that "Captain America: The First Avenger" couldn't join its fellow comic adaptations.
But don't take snubs here too much to heart. The Academy's costume designers branch often includes this or that contender completely snubbed by the guild. So there is hope yet.
Check out the full list of nominees for the 2011 Costume Designers Guild awards below. And remember to follow the Best Costume Design race in the Contenders section throughout the season.
Excellence in Period Film:
"The Artist" (Mark Bridges)
"Jane Eyre" (Michael O'Connor)
"The Help" (Sharen Davis)
"Hugo" (Sandy Powell)
"W.E." (Arianne Phillips)
Excellence in Fantasy Film:
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" (Jany Temime)
"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (Penny Rose)
"Red Riding Hood" (Cindy Evans)
"Thor" (Alexandra Byrne)
"X-Men: First Class" (Sammy Sheldon)
Excellence in Contemporary Film:
"Bridesmaids" (Leesa Evans & Christine Wada)
"The Descendants (Wendy Chuck)
"Drive" (Erin Benach)
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (Trish Summerville)
"Melancholia" (Manon Rasmussen)

An Elkton man who solicited an undercover officer posing as a 14-year-old girl now faces additional charges.
Derek William Hulvey, 32, entered a guilty plea on April 14 to one felony count of indecent liberties with a child and one felony count of committing a sexual offense with a minor by computer.
Judge Bruce Albertson scheduled Hulvey, who faces up to 15 years in prison, to be sentenced on June 25. Sources say recommended sentencing guidelines would likely call for no active prison time.
On Monday, a Rockingham County grand jury indicted Hulvey on two felony counts of soliciting a child by computer. Those charges are related to the same case. If convicted of those charges, sources say, the guidelines would likely call for at least some active prison time.
The DN-R will have more on this story in Thursday's print and online editions.

College Hockey:Nichols Coach Resigns
DUDLEY, Mass. — John Snyder resigned as head coach at Nichols, after the Bison ended their season with a 7-5 loss against Worcester State last Tuesday night. Assistant coach Mark Jago has been named the program's interim head coach.
Snyder took over as head coach shortly before the start of the 1999-2000 season. Nichols finished that year with an 0-21 record. The Bison were 4-19 this season.
Jago has been an assistant for the Bison for the past two seasons. He is a graduate of Suffolk University and has been involved with the game of hockey as both a player and coach for the last 25 years.
Jago's work with the defense showed this year, as the Bisons allowed 53 fewer goals against from last season.

New Dragons World
Chapter 11: Attack!
Titus smiled at his brother.
Its good to see you, Ben. Its good to see you too, Jessie. Ive missed you guys. Titus said.
Been a long time, Titus. Wheres Sarah? Asked Ben.
Still at Angelas shop. Shell probably join us later.
Titus and his family walked through the mall, Titus parents still in awe about every little detail in the human realm. Ben and Jessie looked at them, puzzled, confused about how any person could find floor tiles or even windows intresting.
Titus, who are those two? Ben asked, his left thumb pointed at Titus parents.
Them? Those are my parents. In human form. Titus explained.
Your parents? The ones from that dragon world place? Jessie asked.
Yeah. Sorry if they seem a little weird. If anyone asks, theyre immigrants, OK?
Ben and Jessie laughed, confused at how Titus could see them as only a little weird. Sure.
Titus and his family walked around the mall a little bit more. By now, Titus had noticed that his parents seemed to be right at home in the mall. However he knew that they would probably be back to the same, childishly amazed old people they presented themselves as during their mall trip.
You know, Titus. Something just crossed my mind. Ben said. He sounded like he had a lot on his mind right now.
What is it? Titus asked.
Why did your parents come to the human world? I doubt theyre here just to sightsee.
Titus turned to look at Ben, a stern, serious expression apparent on his face.
I was going to tell you later but maybe I should just tell you now
Tell me what? Ben asked.
Titus, what is it? Jessie asked.
Titus took a deep breath, then proceeded to tell his brother and his sister-in-law about Saulstrances survival.
Do you guys remember a dragon named Saulstrance? Titus asked.
How could I forget? Hes why my parents
why our parents died
Ben said, sadly.
the thing is
Saulstrance is a
But before Titus was able to finish his sentence, the family heard an explosion come from the far left side of the mall. People ran in a panicd frenzy for the exit.
What happened?! Titus asked to no one in particular.
Titus ran towards the sight of the explosion, his family following after him.
Dad, wait! Drake called out to his father.
Titus watched as everyone ran past him, his face in a scowl. The explosion came from the sports store! Smoke rose from the inside of the building, rising into the sky. Just then, someone emerged from the smoke. Oddly enough, this person was not even the slightest bit burnt. He had long brown hair that went almost completely down his neck, and wore a dark red trenchcoat. He walked out from the rubble and walked towards Titus and the others.
Did you do this? Titus asked angerly.
The man did not answer. He simply stood in front of them, an arrogant grin on his face. Drake took one look at this man and
froze. Fear had taken over Drake as the boy began to shake violently.
Drake, whats wrong? Jackie asked, putting her hand on her cousins shoulder.
That guy
he scares me. Drake barely managed to say.
Drake didnt know what it was, but something about this guy was
off. It was like there was something more to him. But Drake didnt know what it was. Drake also felt like he had seen this guy before. But he couldnt recall where.
Im gonna ask you one more time
did you blow up that store?
The mans grin changed into a smile. An evil, toothy smile.
Why should I have to answer to you
Doulstraz? The man said.
What did you say?! Titus asked, shocked that a human he had never met knew his real name.
He called Titus Doulstraz!! Ben exclaimed.
Who the hell are you? How do you know my real name?! Titus asked, scowling even harder now.
Dad! Ive seen that guy before! Drake exclaimed, remembering exactly where it was that he saw his face before.
On my birthday, when mom picked me up from school! I saw him looking at us across the street! Drake exclaimed.
I still dont get how you know my real name. Tell me who you are! Titus commanded.
The man snickered to himself. All the dragons from Lord Saulstrances home village know of the traitor dragon, Doulstraz. The one who nearly killed Lord Saulstrance two decades ago.
Just then, the mans body began to gain more mass. His fingernails extended outward, turning into blood red claws. His trenchcoat ripped art as developing wings made themselves known on his back, growing outward, becoming stronger. A long tail grew from his back, a sharp, pointed fin growing at the tip of his tail. Titus and his family watched in complete shock as his transformation continued and finally ended. Before them stood a huge dragon. It looked at them with deep, pierceing eyes. However its main prey was Titus himself.
I am Girido. I am a devout follower of Lord Saulstrance. I will make sure Lord Saulstrance does not have to dirty his claws fighting you inferior dragons.
Titus looked at his family. He knew he had no choice but to fight Girido. But he couldnt risk the safety of those he loved. And Girido obviously was not willing to allow Titus family to flee.
Ben. Titus whispered, hoping Girido wouldnt hear him.
Listen. Im going to rush Girido. When I do, I want you to get everyone out of here. If you guys are here, itll just put pressure on me. Go to Angelas shop and get Sarah. Then drive back to my house.
Alright. Ben whispered back.
Titus rushed for Girido, switching into his dragon form. He knew he didnt want to risk people finding out that he was actually a dragon but as of now, giving his family time to escape was the more important of the two right now.
Come on! Ben exclaimed. We need to get outta here!
Everyone except for Drake ran for the exit.
DRAKE!!! Ben called out.
Go on! Drake called out. Im staying with dad!
Drake! Get out of here, you idiot! This isnt a video game! You need to go with them! Titus shouted at his son.
Im not a kid anymore, dad! Im staying! No matter what!
Titus growled. He knew that whatever he told his son wouldnt matter. He was too stuborn to really listen to Titus anyhow.
Girido swung his mighty tail, demolishing two kiosks.
Shall we start? Girido said, licking his muzzle.
Titus rushed for Girido and, just as well, swung his tail at Girido. Girido took to flight, hovering above Titus and Drake. He zoomed right down, right where the father and son duo were standing. Titus headbutted his son out of the way, taking the fullforce of the hit.
DAD! Drake screamed.
Girido leaped back, landing in the center of the mall plaza.
Dad! Dad, are you ok? Drake asked, tears starting to flow from his eyes.
Titus stood up and looked at his son.
Dont worry. Its gonna take more than that to knock me out.
Titus turned his attention to Girido, a surge of anger coming over him.
Why so angry? Girido said with a wicked grin.
How many did you kill? Titus asked.
How many people did you kill when you blew up that store?! Titus yelled, angered.
I estimate around maybe 10 or 20 at the very least. Girido said, sounding proud of himself and not taking Titus question the least bit seriously.
Drakes wings and tail grew out, his ears switching back into fins.
Drake, I want you to stay behind me for now, alright? Titus commanded.
Alright, dad. Kick his butt! Drake cheered.
Titus unfurled his wings and flew into the sky, Girido doing the same. Titus flew right towards Girido, shooting a fireball from his throat. Girido rose higher into the sky and zoomed down at Titus, smacking Titus with his tail and sending him crashing into Disco Burger. The entire building came crashing down, covering Titus in debris. Titus moved from the debris and wreckage, watching as Girido flew back down.
Titus began to feel like he would not be able to beat him. If there was such a huge gap in strength between him and Girido, then he knew he wouldnt stand much of a chance against Saulstrance. At this rate, hed be lucky to even live to fight Saulstrance. Standing back up, Titus prepared for one last stand against Girido, realizing full well he might die.

Another New Dragon's World. And in the course of one month X)!
Seeing as how I figured some people might be getting bored with no real action in the series so far, I decided I'd throw in quite a bit of action for this chapter. I originally didn't plan on there being any "lacky" type characters but I figured it might make the story more fun and hold more peoples' attention. Well enough of my rambling. Let's enjoy NDW 11!

I wouldn't mind seeing my Dragon's World series get made into a movie(or movies). I just gotta make the chapters longer.
And yes, that was kind of a Dark Knight reference(an unintentional one XD).

It was less than a year ago when the horror geniuses at Blumhouse Productions found another small-budget success story in The Purge, banking $89M on a budget close to $3M. With that kind of money a sequel was quickly given the go ahead, and already we've got the second trailer for The Purge: Anarchy.
Starring Frank Grillo (who will be seen next week in Captain America: The Winter Soldier) rather than the departed Ethan Hawke, the film is again set against the backdrop of a national holiday in which all violent crime is legal. The last movie used the premise for a home invasion thriller, but Grillo isn't really the cower behind closed doors type. He's an action guy and it looks like his character is out for a little revenge. It makes for a different sort of movie than before, but the canvas has been expanded and that should be fascinating to see play out.
The Purge: Anarchy opens July 18th and co-stars Carmen Ejogo, Keith Stanfield, Michael K. Williams, Kiele Sanchez, and Zach Gilford.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by cbraleigh Nice Pillows I got these large blue pillows to go with some others from World Market and they go perfectly in the room and also comfy to relax on. February 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by kmhuddle Didn't work out.... I bought these pillows because I wanted a pop of color in my living room. When they finally arrived, I was first disappointed by the darker color of the pillows. They are not as bright as the picture. They are more of a rustic blue. I decided to hold onto them and see if they would work out anyway. But after a few days of just sitting on my couch, the seam on the front completely came apart on one of them....and they'd barely been used at all. I still had the tags and everything still on them since I was just letting them sit on the couch to determine if I liked them there or not and returned them to the store. For the poor quality and expensive price, I don't recommend these pillows. December 10, 2013

Appeal for taxi sighting in Pimlico teenager murder investigation
06:10 04 February 2013
Police investigating the fatal stabbing of Hani Hicham Abou El Kheir want to trace a silver London taxi seen picking up three people shortly after the incident.
It is believed the suspects got into the silver vehicle in Hudson Place, near Victoria station, just before 7pm on January 27. After making the pick up, the taxi then headed down the road before turning left into Wilton Road.
Hani, 16, was stabbed to death in Lupus Street, Pimlico, at around 6.50pm.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Attewell, said: "Just over a week on from the murder of Hani Hicham Abou El Kheir the investigation team is working tirelessly to identify not only those we believe to be responsible for Hani's death but any potential witnesses who will be able to assist us with our investigation.
"I am also seeking the assistance of the wider taxi community. With a taxi rank close by there would have been other drivers who may have witnessed the suspects getting into the silver taxi.
"Did you see one of your colleagues pick up three people around this time or do you recognise the taxi?
"Despite it being a Sunday evening the area around Victoria Station was fairly busy and a number of people would have seen the three people getting into the taxi before it made its way towards Wilton Road.
Any witnesses or anyone with any information should contact the incident room on 0208 345 3715, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Nine people so far have been arrested in connection with the investigation


text: Mounts. Mounts, mounts, mounts! If it's one thing I've always been obsessed with in games, it's been mounts. So, as the title suggests, this topic will be about mounts! Do you think they should be in the game? Do you think they will be added in the future? Do you have ideas on how this idea would work? If you do, then please, use this thread to your mount needs! So far myself, I have had some ideas on how this would work on Terraria. One of my ideas is that there would be a NPC that deals mounts, or has the necessities to allow you to tame one. Another idea I've come up with is a whip. A whip? For taming, of course! Now, with taming would come riding. We'd need a saddle, so we would't hurt our butt! Now that we have the whip and saddle out of the way, here's the big question: what would we ride? That, I am having a tough time thinking of. So far I've come up with generic things like horses, elephants, oxen, cows, ect. I'd love to see amazing ideas not only for how it'd work, but for what we'd ride, also! TL;DR: Mounts. Ideas please! Sprites are very welcome too. If anyone else has made a megathread about mounts, please notify me. Suggestions: (Credit to Marioface5) Dolphin: Can swim in water, can't move on land. The player's breath gauge will behave as normal. Holding down the left mouse button causes the dolphin to move faster. Lion: Can jump far. Clicking causes the lion to do a swipe attack. Ostrich: Flying mount. Clicking has the player attack with a lance. Mount is a reference to the classic game Joust. (Oh how my cousin and I used to love that game.) Raptor: Very fast mount. Clicking activates a leaping attack. Frog: Can jump high. Clicking sends out the frog's tongue, which can grab items. Gecko: Can walk on walls(not the background walls, but ones made out of blocks)/ceilings. Clicking lets go of the surface.

And at the end of the night, just as they did the last time they played in a game that mattered, the Pittsburgh Penguins celebrated a victory Friday night. Sidney Crosby and Tyler Kennedy scored 68 seconds apart in the second period, pacing the Penguins to a 3-2 season-opening victory against the New York Rangers.
The Penguins saw the 20-minute banner-raising ceremony that began the night as one final chance to enjoy the prize they claimed at the end of last season's rainbow. But the minute the banner hit the rafters, that chapter in their hockey lives was over.
"It's just kind of like a beginning and an end, an end to all the celebrations and all that," forward Bill Guerin said. "Now we put it behind us. Now we can begin this season and just move forward."
For Pens captain Sidney Crosby, his mind turned to the fact that this would be the final opening night the ancient Igloo. All he has to do is look across the street at the Consol Energy Center to know where his future lies this time next year.
"It's the last time we're going to have opening night here, so that was going through my mind," Crosby said. "I remember going through those years, little flashbacks of losing and things like that. A lot went through my mind, through the two minutes it took to get up there, whatever it was. Once it was up there it was time to move on."
Move on they did -- and in strong fashion. There was a lot of standing around before the game, but Crosby said his team found its legs soon enough.
"It's easy to maybe use it as an excuse early on, you're sitting around for a little bit (but) I thought it worked to our advantage," he said. "We were skating pretty well and got off to a good start."
That came thanks to Evgeni Malkin. With the Penguins on the power play, Alex Goligoski grabbed a loose puck in the slot and fed it back to Sergei Gonchar at the point. The defenseman sent the puck on net, and Malkin was able to tip it past Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist at 7:48 of the first period.
The Rangers tied the game before the period ended when Chris Drury -- whose holding penalty led to Malkin's goal -- converted Christopher Higgins' pass from in close.
That's where the game stood when Pens goalie Marc-Andre Fleury tapped into one final memory of last spring. In the dying seconds of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, Fleury went post-to-post in spectacular fashion to deny Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom.
He did it again early in the second period against the Rangers. As Brandon Dubinsky and Vaclav Prospal broke in on a 2-on-1, Dubinsky slid a pass across to Prospal, who one-timed a shot that looked destined for the back of the net until Fleury snared it.
"(Dubinsky) had some room to shoot … and I was kind of waiting for it, and he passed it across," Fleury said. "I just tried to get there as quick as possible. It hit my glove and I was kind of happy about that. It's just a good feeling to be able to start the season by making a save to keep the score tight."
It's that kind of save that has endeared Fleury to his teammates.
"We all appreciate a big save like that," Crosby said. "We make mistakes sometimes and that's what your goalie is there to do, bail you out. That was a great one."
Then Crosby showed why he's a great one, somehow finding his way to the Rangers' crease unmarked. Kris Letang started a breakout in his own end, followed the play and pounced on the rebound of a Guerin shot behind the net. He slid the puck out front to Crosby, who tapped it behind Lundqvist.
Just over a minute later, Jordan Staal won a battle along the wall and sent a pass to Goligoski at the point. Kennedy got enough of the puck to re-direct it behind Lundqvist to make it 3-1.
"I thought at times there were some really good minutes and other times we struggled," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "They surged on us a couple times, we couldn't handle it. Third goal I thought was a very important goal in the game and I think we just gave it to them. We were breaking out of our end zone, lose the puck, we're not strong on the puck, point shot goes in. … I thought we did some really good things in the second period, had some chances to score some goals. … We had our chances and we didn't (score). Good and bad."
The good came in the form of Marian Gaborik, the sniper imported from Minnesota this summer. In his first game with the Rangers, he was active and quick with the puck in the offensive zone all night and finished with a team-high eight shots. He also scored the Rangers' final goal, zipping the puck under the crossbar from the slot at 5:56 of the third period.
"He's pretty dangerous with the puck, as you can see," Tortorella said. "We're going to rely on him quite a bit to help us score some goals. He scored one tonight, we're hoping to get more out of him each game. I thought he did some good things."
The Penguins also did some good things, starting with a pre-game celebration and ending with a post-game one.
"You want to have a good night on your home opener regardless of banner-raising or what have you," Guerin said. "(The opener is) a big night for every team. And we're glad to get the two points."

The women's basketball team earned an 80-58 win over LIU Brooklyn on Saturday during day two of the Bank of Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine Invitational. The victory gives the Crimson Tide a 9-3 overall record while the loss drops the Blackbirds to 3-7 on the season.
"I thought we played smart and really played well together as a team today," said Alabama head coach Wendell Hudson. "We were able to play a lot of different combinations and get everyone playing time. Overall, this was a great team win today."
Junior Shafontaye Myers led three Alabama players in double figures with 14 points. She was followed by seniors Celiscia Farmer and Alicia Mitcham, who chipped in 13 and 10, respectively. Farmer also led the Tide in rebounds with seven while sophomore Daisha Simmons recorded a game-high eight assists and two steals.
The game went back and forth over the first four minutes until a 13-2 run by Alabama gave the Tide a 19-8 lead with 11:21 to go in the half. Alabama built a 25-point advantage, which was eventually cut to 13 behind 12 unanswered points from the Blackbirds. The Tide would close out the first on an 8-1 run over the final 2:22 to head into the locker room up 47-27 at the break.
Alabama continued to distance itself from LIU in the second half, leading by as many as 28. The Tide played 13 of its 14 players in the game with its bench accounting for 93 minutes and 44 points.
For the game, Alabama shot 44.1 percent (30-68) from the floor, including 51.4 percent (19-37) in the first half. The Tide held the Blackbirds to 27.9 percent (19-68) combined and only 10.0 percent (1-10) from three-point range. Alabama hit nine three-pointers in the game and scored on 11 of its 15 attempts from the free throw line. In addition, the Tide had one of its best games of the season sharing the ball as it recorded 18 assists.
Alabama will close out tournament play on Sunday when it takes on Hawai'i. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. CT. The game can be listened to on the Crimson Tide Sports Network on the radio and online at RollTide.com. In addition, fans can follow along on the team's official Twitter page @AlabamaWBB.
