It was a clear indication that Penn State football has changed drastically: 48 passes to only 22 runs.
That was the offensive ratio in Saturday's 24-14 loss to Ohio, and it was an even bigger differential than just about anyone would have predicted in Bill O'Brien's first game. That includes O'Brien himself.
"We've got to be more balanced, and that starts with me," said the coach, who also calls the plays on offense.
The Nittany Lions held a 14-3 halftime lead, but instead of shortening up the game, they ran the ball only nine times in the second half.
O'Brien is used to throwing the ball a lot, since that's what he did with the Patriots and Tom Brady. That may be too simplistic of an explanation for his predilection to pass that many times Saturday, but then again, coaches are creatures of habit.
The passing attack worked early as Matt McGloin was 16-of-26 for 178 yards and two TDs in the first half. But the second half was a different story as McGloin was just 11-of-22 for 82 yards and an interception.
"We can run the football," said O'Brien, whose squad averaged 4.5 yards per carry. "We've got a tough offensive line that -- I think probably one of the units that played the best on Saturday was our offensive line, if not the unit that did play the best. ... Hindsight being 20/20, I'd like to say we would not throw it 50 and run it 20. We'd like to be more balanced."
O'Brien will need faith in his ground game to call more running plays, and as of Tuesday, starting tailback Bill Belton's status for Saturday was unknown. Belton suffered an ankle injury against Ohio, and while O'Brien said the running back is probable, he won't know until Thursday's practice.
If Belton can't go, backup Derek Day will start.
"We've got good depth at running back," O'Brien said. "Billy, obviously the ankle injury, you never like to lose a player like Billy. We think he's a really good player. But if he can't go, we've got plenty of guys there that can go."
There are several tailback candidates, to be sure, but all are unproven. Day, a senior, has carried just 15 times for 63 yards in his career, and eight of those carries came Saturday. Behind him, there's true freshman Akeel Lynch (zero career carries), redshirt sophomore Zach Zwinak (three carries for seven yards) and junior Curtis Dukes, who has the most experience.
Dukes looked good for a stretch last season and carried 41 times for 237 yards, but he fell out of favor with the coaching staff, dropped way down the depth chart and hasn't been a factor since.
Lynch has impressed the coaches, although O'Brien still isn't sure if he wants to burn the talented tailback's redshirt.
"If you're going to play those guys, then you'd better actually play them," the coach said of the true freshmen. "So we're going to see how practice goes this week with Akeel, and we'll make a decision on that later in the week. ... But he's definitely a guy that we think has a good future here at Penn State."
Hostile crowd?
Will Virginia's fans yell mean-spirited comments about the Sandusky scandal at the PSU players? That will be a question Saturday and everywhere the Lions go this season.
"You're going to have fans everywhere that love you and hate you, and you have to deal with it and take it as it comes," safety Malcolm Willis said.
Defensive tackle Jordan Hill noted the team isn't concerned about the fan reaction and added, "When we're hated by a team it gets us going and [makes us] want to play the opponent more."
O'Brien knows how difficult it is to play at Virginia's Scott Stadium, having been there several times previously as an assistant coach.
"It's a very loud home crowd," O'Brien said. "It's a great home advantage for Virginia, and we've got to do a great job this week of practicing with the crowd noise because that's the biggest thing, not what they're yelling but how loud they are."
Big underdogs
Virginia opened as an 8 1/2-point favorite, but the line already has jumped up to 10.
"Underdog pretty much means nothing to us anymore," fullback Michael Zordich said. "We've been underdogs for a while now."
Tight end Kyle Carter showed respect for the Cavaliers by saying, "We know Virginia is a better team than Ohio was, so we need to make a marked improvement."
Morris probable
Cornerback Stephon Morris believes he will be able to return Saturday after injuring an ankle against Ohio.
"Treatment from sun up to sun down. Will be back saturday!!" Morris tweeted Tuesday.
Like with Belton, O'Brien said Morris is probable but won't know for sure until Thursday.
"He's doing well," Willis said of his fellow defensive back. "He was limited [Monday] in practice, but he's getting a lot better."
One QB system
O'Brien was asked if backup quarterback Paul Jones would get an opportunity to play Saturday.
"Paul has made a lot of improvement, but right now we're going to stick with one guy [McGloin]," the coach said.

Philadelphia Flyers agitator Scott Hartnell was running all over the First Niagara Center ice in the second period Sunday, plummeting Sabres captain Jason Pominville into the boards from behind and then nailing Tyler Ennis with another rough check.
Enough was clearly enough in Drew Stafford's mind. The Sabres winger stepped out of character and immediately challenged Hartnell, both players tossing their sticks and helmets aside. Stafford took four or five tough rights from Hartnell at the start of the scrap, rallied some at the end and earned universal praise for it after the Sabres' 5-2 win.
For a game-within-the-game moment, this was it. The Sabres insist they won't be pushed around this year and here was a quick example in the first game of a new season.
"Obviously I'm not an every-day fighter kind of player," said Stafford, who had not dropped the gloves since taking on Columbus' R.J. Umberger on Feb. 6, 2010. "But when the time comes, I feel as though I can handle myself. It's not something you're going to see out of me too often. It carries over from last year. Everyone in this lineup is going to hold each other accountable to be harder to play against and that falls into that category."
"It was important for him to stand up for a teammate," said goaltender Ryan Miller. "It was definitely the right thing to do. It can send a message in a game that we're here to play. They like to bump and grind and get in your face and talk a little bit. So remind them that you're there, that's good."
Stafford's locker is next to 6-foot-8 newcomer John Scott, one of the NHL's toughest fighters. Stafford said Scott joked his teammate is trying to take his job.
Stafford admitted what he did was out of character. That's especially true since it came against the shaggy-haired Hartnell, one of the Flyers' tougher players.
"He's that kind of player but at the same time it's just the way it is," Stafford said. "Whoever it is, it doesn't have to be anyone in particular, you've got to respond. It just happened."
"What Staff did was awesome," said coach Lindy Ruff. "Right away. Addressed it. Didn't wait for somebody else to address it. … Those are the type of things that bring your team together. Those are the types of things we talked about."
Rookie Mikhail Grigorenko, the Sabres' No. 1 draft pick, played 11 minutes, 13 seconds in his NHL debut. He had two shots on goal, went 5-4 on faceoffs, drew a penalty that led to a power-play goal and finished with a minus-1 rating.
"The first shift I was kind of nervous but I wasn't nervous at all after the first few," said Grigorenko, who played his most (4:15) in the third period. "It was great to have so many people here. I can really see it's a great city to play in. People like hockey and it's an honor to play here."
"I thought he was steady," Ruff said. "I probably used him about as much as I wanted to. There's going to be an opportunity to inject him in a few other places in the coming games, but I wanted to get him through that first game and I thought he handled it well.
Longtime broadcaster Rick Jeanneret was ill and missed the opener. The Sabres issued a one-paragraph release two hours before the faceoff announcing Jeanneret's absence. Paul Hamilton of WGR Radio stepped in to do the play by play.
A Sabres spokesman emphasized Jeanneret was not hospitalized, although his status is uncertain for tonight's game in Toronto.
Jeanneret, who is believed to be 70, was the winner of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for broadcast excellence, as selected by the Hockey Hall of Fame and was honored in November.
Winger Ville Leino missed the game with the leg injury that flared up at the end of practice Friday. Ruff said it's doubtful he'll play tonight. Jochen Hecht took Leino's place on the line with Grigorenko and Steve Ott, while Matt Ellis dressed and took six shifts on the fourth line.
The Danny Briere-less Flyers are 0-2 for the first time since 2008. They have led for a combined 11 minutes in the two games, are 1 for 9 on the power play and have killed only four of nine penalties.
"It's one team I really like to beat and it's one team I really hate to lose to," said Ruff, whose team was 0-3-1 against Philly last year. "So I feel pretty good right now."
Sabres players, coaches and owner Terry Pegula greeted fans in the pavilion when the gates opened, handing out programs and posing for pictures. … The Sabres improved to 24-14-4 in season openers, including 17-6-4 when opening at home. Ruff is 9-5-1 in season openers as Sabres coach. … Many fans were surprised they could not buy beer when they entered the building until noon had passed because of New York State law. The no-beer-before-noon ban will also apply for the Feb. 17 game against Pittsburgh, which is the season's other 12:30 p.m. start. … The crowd of 19,070 was the Sabres' 32nd straight sellout. Capacity is up this year by 380 with renovations on the 200 and suite levels. The number is a tribute to the birth year of the franchise.

So I bought the new 3DS XL Mario Kart 7 Bundle today that nobody really announced was launching today for 199.99 (sent in to Dtoid as a tip as well)
Fucking Nintendo... It deletes the pre-installed version of Mario Kart 7 when you do a Transfer, now it looks like it's letting me RE-DOWNLOAD it at no charge. I did sync the 3DS XL with my Club Nintendo account before hand just to make sure it was under me.
So crisis averted maybe, going to see if it charges me somehow (not sure if my Info was transfered over from OG 3ds).
I will say I wasn't a fan of the Blue in the ads and what not but the actual package is a much darker blue than advertised. I like it.

Beyond the technical skill a surgeon requires, it's also critical for a surgeon to know the right time to operate, says Dr. Jeffrey Lafond of Tri-County Surgical Associates. Dr. Lafond has been operating at Trident and Summerville medical centers since 1995. As a general surgeon, he does a variety of procedures including amputations, the extraction of a many cancers and the removal of inflamed organs such as the appendix. Working the controls of the da Vinci robotic system, he can remove a gallbladder through a small surgical incision at the patient's navel, and he is the only doctor in the Lowcountry who performs the new "single site" procedure. "The robotic system is incredibly exciting because of the increased range of motion and enhanced visibility it provides the surgeon, as well as smaller surgical incisions and more rapid recovery for patients."

The BAD....
I am clueless to what did happen... was it me or Blogger?
Now that's out of my chest....
The FOOD...
After few posts on International food... We need some spice and chillies in our weekly diet... I am back with our favourite Nyonya Cuisine ~ Kari Kapitan...
Kapitan is a Nyonya-Malay word for Captain... so Kari Kapitan... is loosely translated Captain's curry.
Preparations prior to any Nyonya dishes is always laborious... but the end result is always satisfying... almost finger licking good
The GOOD...
I'm sure that almost 90% of Food Bloggers must have heard or submitted at least one photograph to either FoodGawker or Tastespotting... right?
- Marinade chicken pieces with turmeric powder and salt for at least 2 hours (or overnight if time permits).
- Deep fry the chicken pieces until golden.
- Dish out onto the kitchen paper and put aside.
- Blend all the ingredients in the 'spice' list into a fine paste.
- Heat about 3 tablespoon of oil in a wok and sauté the spice until its fragrant and the oil 'split'.
- Add in chicken and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves and brown sugar.
- Season to taste.
- Simmer for at least 10 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
- Add lime juice and mix well.
- Garnish with golden fried shallots. Serve with steam rice

I'm feeling pretty good. Still some restless nights, but I think that comes with the shape of things right now. I was supposed to be my midwife's only Mom due this month, but she still has a Mom two weeks late and I am really praying that she has her baby, like, today so that I can feel a bit more at ease here.
My instinct is that it is not going to be today or tomorrow for me. And I am constantly rubbing and assuring this sweet baby that I only want her to come when she is good and ready.
Carter is getting impatient. He can't wait to see how cute she will look. And he said Mommy, do you think she'll have a face like an angel?
Oh my, I can't wait (but I will wait) to see.

The state is bringing back a popular volunteer program in which people help educate visitors and residents about South Maui's fragile and almost pristine Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve, which was established in 1973.
The reserve encompasses around 2,000 acres and includes ocean and land areas. It contains coral reefs, unique anchialine pools, native shrub land and lava flows.
"I can't overstate how important they (the volunteers) are," said Sarah Bott, the volunteer coordinator for the reserve.

Top photo: Kipahulu resident Christie Sorochan strums on her banjo while visiting the Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve last weekend. The state Board of Land and Natural Resources last month approved a management plan for the reserve that state officials say will preserve, protect and enhance the biological and cultural resources of the reserve for current and future generations. Visitors brought to the reserve by guidebooks were damaging natural areas such as lava flows and fragile ocean pools.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Wild goats roam last weekend at Ahihi-Kinau. One of the actions in a recently approved management plan for the area calls for the removal of the goats as well as fencing to keep them out of the reserve.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Now, there are four trained volunteers, also known as interpretive guides, but Bott said officials want to have around 40 volunteers. They can help make sure snorkelers stay off the reef and out of restricted areas as well as help people best enjoy the reserve.
Community volunteers who had been providing visitor education were dismissed several years ago so state employees who had been overseeing them could concentrate on drafting a management plan for the area, state officials said previously.
Reinstating the volunteer program is just one of a dozen top actions prioritized in an implementation plan that is included in a long-awaited draft management plan that was approved by the state Board of Land and Natural Resources on Oct. 12.
"We're really excited that the plan is done. . . . I know our constituents really wanted to get it done, and it's something the community had a lot of input in it. . . . The reserve is in a better place than it has been in years past," said Scott Fretz, district manager for the Division of Forestry and Wildlife, Maui Branch.
Some of the plan's top priorities include hiring a full-time reserve manager, which has already been done with the hiring of Dave Quisenberry; improving and maintaining on-site facilities; managing visitors and access points; and deterring and removing hoofed animals from the reserve.
Fretz said some actions are prioritized, but there is no deadline to implement the whole plan, although he said the state aims to have the plan in effect for the next 10 to 15 years.
Even with the plan in place, the state will continue to keep certain parts of the reserve closed.
For now, the current open areas include popular swimming, snorkeling and surfing spots in the northern end of the reserve such as Waiala Cove and Kanahena Cove, also known as "Dumps."
"We like to have people be able to use the reserve, but at this time we need to have the areas closed to protect those resources that were being heavily damaged," Fretz said.
On Aug. 1, 2008, a portion of the reserve was closed to the public to allow for studies and for the state to work on the draft management plan. The closure came after years of escalating conflicts over human use. Large numbers of visitors had been hiking across the lava flows in Ahihi-Kinau in search of coves that had been publicized in guidebooks as snorkel spots such as "Fishbowl" and "Aquarium."
The DLNR will revisit the issue in 2014, Fretz said.
Quisenberry said some other actions already taken from the plan include improving an office trailer at the reserve that now has electricity, air conditioning and landline telephone service. He said once Internet service is installed, his and the volunteer coordinator offices will be based at the reserve.
Quisenberry said he hopes to have two staff members back "on the ground" at the reserve by Dec. 1.
Staffing at the reserve has dwindled over the years, with state officials saying some left for personal reasons and there had been a "lack of capacity to maintain that level of funding and staffing."
According to the implementation plan, other projects that are among the priority measures include maximizing the efficiency of the parking in the Kanahena parking area by designating lot stalls; the design and implementation of a ranger-guided educational walk program in the restricted access area; and work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to initiate and oversee surveys to determine the extent of munitions debris in the reserve and oversee their work in order to minimize impacts to the reserve resources.
In order to complete the projects, Fretz said the state will have to seek outside grants as well as form partnerships.
Quisenberry said the state is working with The Nature Conservancy to look for funding opportunities via grants for marine monitoring.
He added that some residents in the area who are on the reserve's advisory group assist the state in reporting violations to the staff and the state DLNR's Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement. The residents provide information to visitors unaware about the posted rules.
In addition, Quisenberry said Makena Stables is contracted to open and close the gate at the Kanahena parking area.
"Both of these things are huge in helping us manage the reserve. We really appreciate their kokua," Quisenberry said.

At McPartlan's Corner (669 Wehrle Drive, Amherst, 632-9896), you can tell it's almost Christmas when the Tom & Jerry bowl comes out. It has been a standard at the family eatery for more than 30 years.
Mike McPartlan mixes each three-quart batch of the whipped-egg alcoholic concoction by himself, the same way his Uncle Jamie showed him. The holiday tradition "falls on my shoulders," he said. "I guess it's good to be consistent in the restaurant business."
He separates a half-dozen eggs, and beats the yolks into a batter with cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg and a dash of vanilla. Then he whips the whites into a meringue, which he folds, ever so carefully, into the batter.
Then he's ready to make the drink. He pours a measure of drink base into a 7.5-ounce Tom & Jerry cup with an ounce of rum. Piping-hot water is trickled into the cup, "cooking" the batter. Then he floats another three-quarters of an ounce of brandy on top. That'll be $4.95.
"I won't say it's a secret recipe, but it's an esoteric art," McPartlan said. "It's a lot of work, but if it brings 'em in the door it's worth it, I always say."
That it does. "We have people who I don't see 11 months out of the year," he said. "As soon as the Tom & Jerrys start, they're in three times a week during the holiday season." McPartlan expects to have them every day through New Year's, and weekends through February.

Graduating from college is a landmark in anyone's life.
But for Matthew Faulkner, graduating Saturday from Canisius College took on a more special meaning.
That's because he was not expected to survive following a car crash in 2009 that left him with a traumatic brain injury and in a coma for nearly two months.
But Faulkner was among 725 students receiving undergraduate degrees Saturday in Canisius' commencement ceremony in Alumni Arena on the University at Buffalo's North Campus.
"It feels like quite an accomplishment," Faulkner said, after getting his diploma.
The crash occurred at an East Aurora intersection about three months before he was slated to graduate from West Seneca West High School. Faulkner was a passenger in a car driven by a friend who pulled into oncoming traffic. He was flown by Mercy Flight to Erie County Medical Center, where doctors were uncertain he would survive.
"But I proved them wrong," said Faulkner, who penned a book, "Most Likely to Survive," about his harrowing experience.
Twelve days after emerging from the coma, Faulkner walked out of the hospital and was able to attend his high school graduation. He then took a year off to recover more, and during that time studied at Erie Community College, where he earned nine college credits to add to the 18 he had earned while a high school student.
He enrolled at Canisius in the fall of 2010, graduating on time with a major in economics and finance.
"I love that stuff," he said.
These days, Faulkner – who is totally independent – has been working part-time as a market analyst for BidURenergy for about a year while completing his studies.
Now, he is looking forward to working full-time.
Bishop Richard J. Malone, who delivered the keynote address, shared a lesson about a research experiment that showed people who practice gratitude are happier than those who do not.
The experiment involved three groups of people: The first group was tasked to list things for which each member was grateful; a second group was asked to write down daily hassles from the previous week; and members of the other group listed five events occurring during the same time period but were told not to focus on positive or negative aspects.
The study showed that members of the first group were 25 percent happier, more optimistic about the future, had higher alertness and enthusiasm, were more empathetic, less depressed and stressed, less envious and less materialistic, Malone said.
"Without gratitude," he said, "it is difficult to appreciate the awesomeness of God's grace. ... It's good for the soul, good for society, and commencement is a prime time to say thank you."
Malone also received an honorary degree, along with Donald L. Trump, president and chief executive officer at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and Walter Sharrow, Ph.D, emeritus professor of history at Canisius.
Commencement ceremonies also were held for four other colleges.
SUNY Buffalo State
More than 2,030 students received undergraduate degrees during Sports Arena ceremonies at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The keynote speaker for each was Carl Wilkens, an activist and humanitarian who founded World Outside My Shoes, a nonprofit educational and professional development agency tasked with inspiring and equipping people to stand up against genocide, racism and intolerance.
"We are not defined by what we don't have, what we lost. We are defined by what we do with what we have. And just don't quit," he said.
Donna M. Fernandes, president and chief executive officer of the Buffalo Zoo, delivered remarks during the 6 p.m. ceremony for about 600 Buffalo State students receiving master's degrees.
She offered advice for successful careers and what lies ahead.
"You will have to remain lifelong learners," she said.
"The journey isn't over. It has just begun, and you will discover that it is a very long road. And remember, it is not about the destination. It's about the journey."
D'Youville College
D'Youville College graduated about 700 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students during a ceremony at 9 a.m. in Kleinhans Music Hall.
The keynote address was delivered by Dr. M. Eileen Schmitt, a member of D'Youville's Class of 1968, who drew on the life of Marguerite d'Youville – founder of the Grey Nuns and for whom the college is named – for inspiration. She challenged graduates to live their lives according to three rules of St. Marguerite.
"Mercy, frugality and humility: They will enable you to live a fully integrated life," she said. "Compassion is what life is all about."
Daemen College
Kleinhans Music Hall also was the setting as Daemen College awarded more than 800 undergraduate and graduate degrees during ceremonies that got under way at 2:30 p.m.
Delivering the keynote address was Daemen President Gary A. Olson, who emphasized the importance of critical thinking.
"You have acquired a habit of mind – the ability and the responsibility to think critically and analytically about the world," said Olson, who holds a Ph.D in criticism and rhetoric. "This is an ability that will help you make wise choices the rest of your life."
Fredonia State College
Fredonia State College celebrated its largest graduating class – numbering about 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students – during two ceremonies, at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., in Steele Hall Arena.
The keynote speaker was Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, whose son, John, was one of the graduates.
Higgins urged the graduates never to lose sight of love, hope and faith.
"In you, the Class of 2013, we have hope," Higgins said. "You see, God created the world, but he didn't finish it. That's up to you."
Other featured speakers included Fredonia President Virginia S. Horvath, Ph.D., and Frank A. Pagano, former mayor of Fredonia and chairman of the Fredonia College Council.

Schools not setting good financial example
February 25, 2013
It is no wonder so many young West Virginians don't understand how to manage money. Too often, their school administrators don't set a good example....
Cutting employees/teachers sometimes can not be done unless you close a school or two. And the counties do not want to do that. So the problem is much bigger that you suggest. Closing schools is not what the public wants. And most of these counties will do whatever it takes to avoid that issue.

The Double Edged Sword that is the Event Data Recorder
Andrew Askland
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Temple Environmental Law and Technology Journal, Vol. 25, No. 1, p.33, 2006
The Event Data Recorder (EDR) is the automotive black box which is installed on almost all new manufactured vehicles. EDRs monitor the driver's use of a vehicle. When an accident occurs, the EDR preserves the prior 5 to 20 seconds of recorded data for possible retrieval, providing a critical snapshot of what happened in the moments before impact. The data that is recorded has expanded from information about deceleration to information that ranges across as many as 16 different parameters.
This article discusses the benefits and challenges of EDR technology. The ostensible primary purpose of the EDR is limited in scope and often phrased in terms of consumer protection. The information stored in EDRs is useful for the composite data it generates about air bag use and effectiveness. It is also useful in individual instances because it provides information about a vehicle's use and condition in the moments before an accident. This information has been used in court to prosecute drivers who were driving at reckless speeds and to rebut claims of air bag malfunctioning and other vehicle defects, for example.
However, the use of EDR data raises privacy concerns. The use of EDR data in criminal cases may threaten liberties protected by the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. EDRs also raise critical issues such as who should have access to the data stored and under what circumstances. Privacy advocates are concerned that most vehicle owners and operators have no idea what EDR technology is or what information it is gathering.

Kurdish Killings in Paris Cloud Peace Effort
Three Women Are Shot Dead in Office With Ties to Militant Leader Involved in Talks With the Turkish Government
A founding member of the militant Kurdistan Workers' Party and two other Kurdish women were shot dead in Paris in execution-style killings that could complicate renewed talks to end a three-decade war with the Turkish government.
See Related Video on #WorldStream
The bodies of Sakine Cansiz and the two others were found early Thursday at a small Kurdish center with close links to the militant group, which is known as the PKK, Turkey said.
French law-enforcement authorities said the victims were shot at close range on Wednesday afternoon in a killing that bore the hallmarks of a targeted assassination. The antiterrorist department of the Paris prosecutor's office said it had launched an investigation.
Ms. Cansiz, a Turkish national in her 50s, helped found the militant group in the 1970s with the aim of securing self-rule for the estimated 15 million Kurds in southeast Turkey, according to Kurdish organizations and people who knew her.
She was imprisoned by Turkish authorities for much of the 1980s, and spent time at Qandil, the PKK's mountain headquarters in northern Iraq, before moving to France as a political refugee in 1998, these people said. A photograph from 1995 shows Ms. Cansiz standing next to PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan wearing fatigues and clutching a Kalashnikov rifle.
The other two victims in the Paris shootings were Fidan Dogan, a representative of the Brussels-based Kurdish National Congress, and a guest, Leyla Soylemez, according to a spokeswoman at the Paris prosecutor's office. The spokeswoman said it was too early to confirm that Ms. Cansiz was one of the victims.
The killings come amid optimism in Turkey over talks that began in December between the Turkish intelligence agency and Mr. Ocalan, who is serving a life sentence for treason in an island prison in the sea of Marmara, just off the Turkish coast.
Turkish pro-government media this week reported the two sides had agreed on the framework of a plan to end the war, trading eventual rebel disarmament in exchange for increased minority rights. Neither side confirmed those reports. Hard-line factions within the PKK as well as some Turkish nationalist groups have opposed the talks.
The conflict has taken on a new urgency with the strengthening of Kurdish groups in Iraq, where they have self-rule in the north, and in Syria, where affiliates of the PKK are seeking autonomy.
While previous negotiations with the PKK—which is designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union—were secretive and appeared to have stalled, Turkey's acknowledgment of the latest contact raised hopes for a renewed effort to end the war, which has killed 40,000 people since 1984.
The killings spotlight the vulnerability of the peace talks. "Unfortunately, we are bound to see acts designed to derail this process and I think this is act one," said Sinan Ulgen, a former Turkish diplomat now with the Carnegie Endowment in Brussels.
Turkish Prime Minister Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said peace talks would continue. He said it was too soon to apportion blame for the shootings, but he also helped fuel a volley of accusations by both sides in the conflict.
"This may be an internal score-settling [within the PKK] or it might be a provocation in an attempt to disturb our well-meaning efforts to make a headway," he told reporters in a news conference in Senegal, where he was on a state visit on Thursday.
A PKK spokesman, rejecting the theory, called the Turkish government's response suspicious. In Paris, where hundreds of Kurds flocked to the building where the killings took place, some called Mr. Erdogan a murderer and called for revenge.
A French Interior Ministry official said the French government was convinced the Turkish state wasn't responsible for the killings, citing good relations between Paris and Ankara on police and antiterrorism issues.
French police officers at the scene and Kurdish activists who saw the bodies described a gruesome, professional killing.
On Wednesday at around 3 p.m. one or more gunmen entered the small second-floor office in central Paris where the three women were gathered, a police officer said. Two of the women were shot in the head from close range, the third in the abdomen. Neighbors reported hearing no gunshots, suggesting the possible use of a silencer.
When friends of Ms. Dogan, worried that they hadn't heard from her, arrived at the office at 1 a.m., they had to break down the door after seeing bloodstains at the entrance, they said.
At the scene on Thursday, lines of French riot police stood watch as a group of several hundred mourners gathered, some carrying flags bearing the face of Mr. Ocalan.
French President François Hollande described the crime as terrible, and said he had met one of the victims as had many politicians because "she was regularly seeking to meet with us."
France is home to tens of thousands of Kurds. This week wasn't the first time Kurdish activists were killed in Paris. Mustafa Aktas, a member of the PKK, was killed there in 1985; in 1987, Hüseyin Akagündüz, a Kurdish leader, was shot dead.
In Turkey on Thursday, shocked politicians urged hawkish parties opposed to negotiations not to exploit the killings to derail the peace talks with Mr. Ocalan.
"Unfortunately some may see the incident as an opportunity. Everybody should come to their senses and think and do what is their duty," President Abdullah Gul said.
The resumption of dialogue after a three-year hiatus followed one of the most deadly periods of the conflict, with some 900 people losing their lives in the 15 months to August 2011, according to the International Crisis Group think tank.
The talks have highlighted the role of PKK leader Mr. Ocalan, who is worshiped by some of his PKK followers but reviled by many Turks for his role in directing the Kurdish insurgency in the 1980s and 1990s. He was arrested by Turkish special forces in 1999, but showed his continued authority over the militant group in November, calling for an end to a 68-day hunger strike that had spurred a crisis in Ankara. But his ability or will to deliver a disarmed PKK in exchange for peace is untested.
Analysts said that the process remains fraught with political challenges, but there are reasons to be optimistic.
The main parties here have got to hold on tight because there's a wonderful opportunity right now to settle this," said Hugh Pope, Turkey analyst at the International Crisis Group.

LOCKPORT – A West Seneca man faces a potential sentence of life in prison if convicted as charged in a sex crime indictment unsealed Wednesday in Niagara County Court.
Justin C. Wheeler, 20, of Westminster Road, pleaded not guilty to predatory sexual assault against a child, first-degree rape, second-degree sexual abuse and second-degree kidnapping as a sexually motivated felony.
Wheeler is accused of communicating with a 12-year-old girl, picking her up in North Tonawanda Nov. 18 and driving her around the area that day. At some point in their travels, the two allegedly had sex, according to Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth R. Donatello, who said the first-degree rape charge stemmed from the ages of Wheeler and the girl, not from a forcible act.
County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas set bail for Wheeler at $10,000.

WASHINGTON – President Obama's choice of Buffalo-area native Thomas E. Perez as labor secretary drew the praise of the union and civil rights movements Monday for the same reason that a Republican senator promised to block his nomination: Perez's record as assistant attorney general for civil rights.
Perez's three-plus years at the Justice Department – in which he aggressively pursued fair-housing cases and fought GOP attempts to make it harder to vote – foreshadow a tough confirmation battle ahead for a nominee whose work has made him a hero to the left and a villain to the right.
For proof, just witness what senators on opposite sides of the aisle have to say. "Mr. Perez has served as a voice for the most vulnerable and reinvigorated the enforcement of our most critical civil rights laws," said Sen. Tom Harkin, the Iowa Democrat who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which will hold hearings on Perez's nomination. "Mr. Perez brings significant experience and expertise to this position, and I am confident that he will serve ably if confirmed."
Meanwhile, Sen. David Vitter, R-La., vowed to put a hold on Perez's nomination, saying the assistant attorney general had sued Louisana for refusing to make voter-registration materials available at welfare offices while ignoring another section of the National Voter Registration Act that requires states to purge felons and dead voters from the rolls.
"Perez was greatly involved in the DOJ's partisan full court press to pressure Louisiana's Secretary of State to only enforce one side of the law – the side that specifically benefits the politics of the president and his administration at the expense of identity security of each and every Louisianian on the voter rolls," Vitter said. Vitter's comments came after a White House ceremony in which Obama lauded Perez as a self-made success and a lifelong defender of workers' rights.
"I'm confident that Tom is going to be able to work to promote economic growth, but also make sure that growth is broad-based," Obama said. "And he's going to be an integral part of our overall economic team." The son of Dominican immigrants, Perez delivered remarks at the ceremony both in Spanish and English. Calling his nomination "a remarkably humbling and exciting phenomenon," he also reached out far beyond the Labor Department's typical labor constituency.
"I am confident that together with our partners in organized labor, the business community, grassroots communities, Republicans, Democrats and independents alike, we can keep making progress for all working families," Perez said. If confirmed by the Senate, Perez faces a complex agenda ahead – especially if, as expected, Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform. The Labor Department would oversee implementation of any such law as it pertains to the workplace.
Obama said Perez is clearly up to the job. As a civil rights attorney, an aide to Sen. Ted Kennedy and as a member of the County Council in Montgomery County, Md., "Tom fought for a level playing field where hard work and responsibility are rewarded and working families can get ahead," the president said.
Perez also served as labor secretary under Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, winning strong support from the labor movement along the way.
O'Malley attended today's White House ceremony, as did AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who said: "At a time when our politics tilts so heavily toward corporations and the very wealthy, our country needs leaders like Tom Perez to champion the cause of ordinary working people."
Meanwhile, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights issued a statement lavishing praise on the nominee. "Perez has been a champion of voting rights, disability rights, and educational equity, and has prosecuted some of the most heinous hate crimes in recent memory, as well as ramped up efforts to prosecute police misconduct," the civil rights group said. "During his tenure, he also settled the three largest fair-lending cases in the history of the Fair Housing Act."
Much of that makes Perez anathema, though, to conservatives, who are expected to focus their fury on the Civil Rights Division's handling of voting rights cases – and on a recent Inspector General's audit that found "deep ideological polarization" in the division dating back to the administration of President George W. Bush.
"This is an unfortunate and needlessly divisive nomination," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican. "The top priority of the Secretary of Labor should be to create jobs and higher wages for American workers. But Mr. Perez has aggressively sought ways to allow the hiring of more illegal workers. Mr. Perez has also had a controversial tenure at the Department of Justice where he has demonstrated a fundamentally political approach to the law." Sessions also criticized Perez for chairing Casa de Maryland, an advocacy group for immigrants, and said that in the past he has favored U.S. driver's licenses for illegal immigrants as well as allowing them to work.
The right-wing chattering classes were even more critical. Radio raconteur Rush Limbaugh and conservative bloggers railed over the fact that the Civil Rights Division, while under Perez's leadership, refused to pursue a possible voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party.
"He may as well be Hugo Chavez," Limbaugh said, comparing Perez to the late neo-Marxist president of Venezuela. "He is a classic, classic radical leftist."
Given the controversy that has already ensued, Perez's nomination is likely to be contentious to the end, said Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law and an expert on the confirmation process. "I think he's done a really admirable job, but not everyone agrees," Tobias said.
Still, Republicans who choose to challenge Perez's nomination will have to confront a politically difficult fact. Nominated on the very same day that the Republican Party issued a scathing self-assessment that said it must improve its outreach to minorities, Perez would be the only Hispanic nominated so far to serve in Obama's second-term cabinet.
Perez's parents were immigrants from the Dominican Republic who settled in Snyder after his father, a doctor, got a job at the Buffalo Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Perez's siblings became doctors, too, while he went on to Brown University and Harvard Law School – which is why his brother, Dr. Jose G. Perez-Brache, jokes that Thomas Perez is the "failure" in the family.
In all seriousness, Perez-Brache said he was enormously proud to watch on television as his brother was nominated to serve in President Obama's cabinet.
"He's the leader type," Perez-Brache, a physician at Kenmore Mercy Hospital, said of his brother. "He doesn't stand back. He gets people to work with him. He'll listen to people and work to do the right thing for the country." Knowing that, Perez-Brache said he couldn't recognize the man Limbaugh portrayed as his brother on the radio on Monday.
"I heard that and thought: Rush, you just don't know Tom," Perez-Brache said.

LEWISTOWN - For 40 days, Noah rocked back and forth in the ark, Moses spoke with God on Mount Sinai, Goliath challenged the Israelites and Jesus fasted in the wilderness.
God used those 40 days to initiate strong spiritual changes in his followers, said the Rev. Howard Houtz, senior pastor at Calvary Bible Church.
Beginning this April, the pastor said Calvary will begin a 40-day in-depth Bible study to teach and inspire its members.
Houtz said he has noticed an epidemic of biblical illiteracy in younger generations.
Some doubt the trustworthiness of God's Word, and others try to read the Bible but soon drop it, he said.
"If you don't understand, it's easy to put it aside," Houtz said.
He blamed his own generation for dropping the ball and not teaching their children how to study the Bible.
Recently, he saw a potential solution to the problem in popular Christian author Rick Warren's latest curriculum, "40 Days in the Word."
The key theme of the study is "Love the Word. Learn the Word. Live the Word." The program explores the authenticity, reliability, power, comfort, interpretation and doing of God's Word.
Houtz said the curriculum teaches a very practical, easy to understand method of studying the Bible. It offers memorization techniques and resources for defending the faith.
And it's not just for young people.
"We can never say, 'I've got this Bible thing down flat.'" Houtz said.
The congregation welcomes everyone to join the study, not just people from Calvary, he said.
The program will be incorporated into the worship services, small groups and daily devotions beginning April 15. Sign-ups begin Sunday.
Houtz said his first sermon will be about divine inspiration and trustworthiness of the Word. He will teach about the reliability and authenticity of the Bible.
The traditional worship service will be held at 8:30 a.m. and the contemporary service at 11. On Sunday evenings, small groups will meet in homes to discuss the lesson.
The Bible is an essential source for Christians - "our sole authority for faith and practice," Houtz said, referring to the church's doctrinal statement.
From the 40-day study, Houtz said he would like to see the congregation commit to acting out God's Word in Mifflin County and across the globe.

Deborah Smith, ALS User Office Senior Administrative Supervisor
Deborah Smith, senior administrative supervisor in the ALS User Office, plans much of work life around the annual ALS User Meeting, which is fast approaching October 7-9. Smith and her team have been hard at work creating an amazing event for the 400-plus attendees that flock to the hill each year to attend workshops, listen to distinguished speakers, and take part in the active social program.
It's a representation of what Smith says she loves most about her job: having a chance to interact with so many different people. The day after this year's User Meeting activities end, Smith will be right back on track planning for next year. "I literally start booking conference rooms for the next one the day that the previous one ends," she says.
Smith is quick to acknowledge that she's not alone in pulling off the ALS's biggest annual event – she credits her User Office staff first and foremost, as well as ALS Communications, the Users' Executive Committee, and the warehouse crew as key to making her meeting planning successful. "We all come together and pull it off," she says.
This year's User Meeting highlights include 13 workshops that represent the great science that's happening at the ALS, Smith says. The UEC collaborates with senior management to put the workshops together, while Smith and her staff handle the logistics. Smith envisions the User Meeting growing large enough that it warrants being held off-site, which would be a well-earned challenge for her and her team.
When she's not working on the next User Meeting, Smith might be found managing ALS user statistics for the DOE Questionnaire annual report, providing user statistics for ALS staff, monitoring security and safety training for ALS users, acting as host for the majority of ALS users, verifying publications that the DOE uses to measure the ALS, and overseeing the User Office. "Publications are the major metric of how the DOE measures the ALS," Smith says.
Since she started in the User Office in 2008, Deborah has seen customer service as her main focus, "We want the users to keep coming back and we feel like we can do that if we make the processes as easy as possible," she says. "We try to get them down on the floor to do their magnificent science as quickly as possible."

Ray Megill's Blog - Performance Lacrosse Training
To start off this first blog I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I played defense for the University of Maryland from '03 to '07 and my major was mechanical engineering. Yes… mechanical engineering… some people thought I was crazy for picking that as my major, but it was well worth it. My thoughts were if you are going to get a scholarship for school, or have the opportunity to make it to college, you might as well get the most out of the education. Although I had to put a little more time into my schoolwork than others, I really learned how to balance lacrosse, social life, and academics. It may seem like a tough task balancing all three, but it's really not that bad and the experience is well worth it.
Ok, Ok enough with the boring stuff. Lets see…currently I am on my way up to Vermont to go snowboarding with my bro, sis, and mom. I left work around 1 today (which was a good thing because Maryland traffic is awful) and drove home to NJ to pick them up.
O yea forgot to mention I have a full time job for a mechanical contracting company in Rockville, MD and I have my own little lacrosse company called Performance Lacrosse Training. In addition, I play in the MLL for the Boston Cannons. I guess you can literally say I'm always running around. Some people tell me I'm a workaholic but I truly enjoy what I do and every hour of work that I put in.

Courtesy of First Presbyterian Church of Durango
There will be a new face in the pulpit at First Presbyterian Church of Durango on Sunday.
The Rev. Beau Tanner Smith and his family are moving to Durango from San Luis Obispo, Calif., where Smith has been a campus pastor working with students at California Polytechnic State University, director of Front Porch Ministry and an associate pastor at First Presbyterian Church of San Luis Obispo.
�In some senses, the position at First Presbyterian is very similar in terms of expectations,� he said. �But the multigenerational congregation will be new.�
A California native, Smith, 34, didn�t grow up in a church-going family.
�I was very resistant at first,� he said. �I came to my faith through a friend, who�s still my best friend to this day. The faithfulness of his friendship and the way he talked about his beliefs got me into a youth group, and I came to believe.�
Smith didn�t always know he wanted to be a minister.
�I did have the idea that I would somehow be working in the church when I became a Christian at 17,� he said. �I had no idea what you had to do to be a pastor.�
He went on to graduate from Whitworth University, a liberal arts college in Spokane, Wash., that is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, before attending Princeton Theological Seminary for three years to earn his Master of Divinity. After graduation, the Smith family moved to Colorado, where he had his first experience as youth director and associate pastor for the First Presbyterian Church of Montrose.
�My wife and I wanted something west of the Mississippi River,� he said about how they ended up in Montrose.
Smith comes to his new Durango job through his friend the Rev. Dale Ridenour, who had been serving as the interim pastor.
�I wasn�t really looking,� he said. �While I have a passion for working with college students, I�m fully invested in helping this church realize a bright future.�
First Presbyterian has faced challenges on the ministerial front since the Rev. Bill Postler retired several years ago, discharging one pastor and getting by with several interim pastors.
�Beau is a compassionate and gifted preacher with a special gift for bridging generations,� church elder Virginia Miller Cavanagh said. �We joyfully and unanimously called him to be our new pastor.�
Smith is aware of the uncertainty and conflict the congregation has faced in the last few years.
�My hope is to be a healing presence,� Smith said. �This is a very warm and welcoming group of people who have a very good heart. The journey for the next few years is putting that great heart to use.�

Biogen Idec and Atlas Venture have agreed to invest a combined $17 million of Series A financing in a nearly-year-old drug developer focused on hereditary ataxias.
Biogen Idec is separately providing R&D and other funding to the company, called Ataxion. The biotech giant has the option to acquire Ataxion to continue development of the program upon completion of a Phase I multiple ascending dose (MAD) study at pre-negotiated terms, including undisclosed upfront and milestone payments.
"Our investment in Ataxion fits perfectly into our mission to bring innovative therapies to people who have severe neurodegenerative diseases and few treatment options," Steven Holtzman, evp of corporate development at Biogen Idec, said in a statement. "Ataxion's early research in the area of ataxias is compelling, and we look forward to working with them as this research progresses."
Biogen Idec and Atlas said the drug candidates being developed for several genetic forms of ataxia may also be able to treat other forms of the orphan genetic disorder, such as those associated with multiple sclerosis and Huntington's disease.
By focusing on treating a group of ataxias, Ataxion distinguishes itself from several other companies focused on particular forms of the disease marked by dysfunction or degeneration of the cerebellum. Shire in January completed its $4.2 billion acquisition of ViroPharma, whose product candidates included the preclinical drug candidate VP20629 for Friedrich's ataxia.
Also in January, BioMarin Pharmaceutical agreed to purchase Repligen's histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) library and related intellectual property for $2 million upfront plus additional undisclosed milestone and royalty payments. BioMarin said the HDACi portfolio's potential applications included treatments for Friedreich's ataxia and other neurological disorders.
Earlier this month, Edison Pharmaceuticals won FDA "fast-track" designation for its own Fredrich's ataxia drug, the company's lead drug candidate EPI-743, now in Phase II trials. And on February 12, the developer of a preclinical gene therapy for Friedrich's ataxia, Voyager Therapeutics, was launched by Third Rock Ventures with $45 million in Series A financing.
Ataxion was launched in April 2013 from Atlas Venture's seed program by Joshua Resnick, M.D., and David Grayzel, M.D. Dr. Resnick is Ataxion's co-founder and CEO, as well as a venture partner at Atlas. Dr. Grayzel is managing director of Atlas Venture Development Corp. and a member of Ataxion's board.
Three months later in July 2013, Ataxion acquired the ataxia development program from Aniona, a Danish biotech that has since been renamed Saniona and focuses on ion-channel drug discovery. Saniona retains responsibility for key program discovery activities through Ataxion CSO Martin Jefson, Ph.D., former head of Neuroscience Research at Pfizer.
As part of the Series A financing, Drs. Resnick and Grayzel will be joined on the Ataxion Board of Directors by Holtzman; Kevin Koch, Ph.D., Biogen Idec svp of R&D; Atlas Partner Jean-Francois Formela, M.D., and Claus Braestrup, former CEO of Lundbeck Pharmaceuticals and chairman of Saniona.

SALEM - The ordered removal of graffiti from property, possibly by property owners, will be the first priority of any proposal to tackle the graffiti issue, Rules & Ordinances Committee members indicated.
City resident Loretta Price, though, strongly voiced her disagreement with the idea of putting it on the property owners, or doing any kind of graffiti ordinance, saying there were already laws on the books regarding vandalism or criminal damaging.
"If there is graffiti done on my property, that's my business. I will remove it when and if I want," she said, adding it's about private property rights.
The idea of putting the responsibility on property owners, whether the property is public, private or commercial, was one of several graffiti rules discussed for possible legislation during a meeting Tuesday of the Rules & Ordinances Committee of city council.
Committee Chair Councilman Rick Drummond stressed that notes he distributed of what could be included in graffiti legislation were just that, notes, a possible starting point for discussions. He said a number of people had asked the city to look at the issue and that's what they're doing.
He also said graffiti was not helping the city in any way and could actually be hurting it, making potential businesses and residents not want to move here.
"Communities that have addressed graffiti and addressed it aggressively, have reduced it and have it under control," he said.
He admitted at the beginning of the meeting that the one point that may be the most contentious is the idea of putting it on property owners to get rid of graffiti. He said he understood where they were coming from, but the problem isn't going away and won't go away if they don't do something.
The committee took no action, with the next move a yet-to-be scheduled committee work session with city Law Director Brooke Zellers to formulate proper language for a proposed ordinance.
All three committee members, Drummond, Councilman Clyde Brown and Councilwoman Cyndi Baronzzi Dickey, favored doing something about the removal of graffiti. The second idea will focus on graffiti implements, such as spray paint cans, with discussion Tuesday on prohibiting their possession with an intent to use them for graffiti. They'll also look at possibly modifying the current ordinance dealing with crimes such as graffiti.
In the written notes presented, there was a section regarding prohibiting the furnishing of graffiti implements to minors, but Drummond expressed his reservations about it and Dickey said she did not think it should be included because it puts too much pressure on businesses.
The section regarding possession of graffiti implements noted some exceptions, such as if the person was using the paint for a non-graffiti purpose, such as at home, school, church or work and was on the way to the activity.
The section regarding removal or graffiti noted that property owners could be ordered to remove the graffiti in a set amount of time, receive a written notice if they don't, and the chance for a hearing before an already established board, such as the Board of Housing Appeals. If they still didn't remove the graffiti, the city could remove the graffiti and then charge the property owner through their property taxes and charge a fine.
Drummond said nothing was set in stone and they needed to talk with Zellers about what they can and can't do legally.
Price started her presentation by saying most of the council members were Republicans and as such, they were supposed to be for smaller government. She asked her fellow citizens to quit going to their council representatives and "using them as a hammer against the rest of us." She called the proposal "too over-reaching."
Other citizens who attended included members of the beautification committee and Audrey Null, executive director of the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, who all indicated a need to do something about the graffiti. Null said graffiti sends a message of an "I don't care" attitude.
"That's not what we want in Salem...we love our town. We want to see our town flourish," she said.

Finally, and probably most importantly, about half of the patients present a loss of part or all of chromosome 13. This abnormality has also been related to a poorer prognosis, even though the technique to use to identify it (classical cytogenetics or FISH) is still a matter of debate. What is the role of these specific chromosomal abnormalities in the occurrence and/or the evolution of multiple myeloma? This important question is so far unresolved, albeit some recent studies have started to address this issue. The major related question is whether multiple myeloma is a unique disease, or several diseases. In other hematological malignancies, genetics have identified novel entities, leading to adapted therapeutic strategies. Similar implications can be envisaged for multiple myeloma. For instance, the two major 14q32 translocations, t(4;14) and t(11;14), might identify two different forms of myeloma, possibly requiring different therapeutic approaches. The development of more global genomic analyses should enable investigators to further decrypt the disease. The recent use of microarray(7) technology has opened the door to a new understanding of diseases, based on the definition of pathological entities on molecular signatures. The analysis of large numbers of patients presenting different forms of multiple myeloma should modify our knowledge of myeloma, and possibly should modify the way to manage patients. In conclusion, multiple myeloma is probably entering a novel era, the genetic era. The systematic evaluation of the chromosomal and gene aberrations should modify our view of the disease, leading to individual disease-adapted therapeutic management. MT

The Stetson men's basketball team (2-2) lost at home for the first time this season, falling to South Florida (4-2) by a score of 63-54 on Monday night. Senior Joel Naburgs led the Hatters with 18 points on four three-pointers in the defeat.
"With such small margin for error, like we had in this game, you have to win the free throw battle, you have to shoot a high percentage, and you have to have guys really rise up when their time is called," Stetson head coach Casey Alexander said after the game. "Not to discredit anybody - our effort was great - it just wasn't our night to finish it off."
Not only was the effort there for the Hatters, but the quality of play was as well, as the team went toe-to-toe with the Bulls until the final few minutes of the game. Stetson tied the game for the fifth and final time of the night when a pair of free throws from junior Aaron Graham made it 49-49 with 3:50 left to play. Unfortunately, USF quickly went on an 8-0 run to put the Hatters out of reach and leave DeLand with the 63-54 win.
"I felt like our guys played hard enough to win the game," Alexander said. "I'm really proud of their effort. I think they thought they could win the game, they played like they were going to win the game, but we just simply weren't good enough down the stretch. I don't think it's anything they did, or we didn't do. We had some great looks, they just didn't fall in."
A team that used defense to advance all the way to the Third Round of last year's NCAA Tournament, the Bulls' tough and physical style of play forced another slow start for the Hatters on Monday. Stetson, which was averaging 82.7 points per game coming into the night, only had three points at the first media timeout. Fortunately for SU, its opponents had been shut out at the first break for the second straight contest, as Stetson led USF 3-0 through 4:19.
As the two teams got comfortable, it was South Florida that took the early advantage, using a 9-2 run to take an 18-12 lead and force a Stetson timeout with 8:01 to play in the first half. The Hatters stopped the bleeding with a layup by junior Chris Perez, and then went on a 7-1 run to tie the game back up at 21-21 when a long two-pointer by Graham was good at the 4:35 mark.
After a Naburgs triple cut the USF lead to one point at the break, the senior guard scored seven out of the Hatters' first nine points of the second half to give Stetson a 36-34 lead with 15:45 to play. Unfortunately for SU, the Bulls soon went on a 7-0 run, which included five points from Jawanza Poland, and USF held a 47-39 lead midway through the second half. The late eight straight points by the Hatters tied the game one final time, but it wasn't enough to escape with the victory.
USF used a tough inside presence to top the Hatters, scoring 34 points in the paint, grabbing 12 offensive rebounds, and scoring 13 second chance points. Stetson was depleted a bit on the inside, playing without freshman forward Brian Pegg, who is injured, and senior center Adam Pegg, who was serving a one-game suspension from the Atlantic Sun Conference for his ejection against Southeastern on Nov. 19.
"I'm sure that was part of it," Alexander said about USF physicality playing a part in the loss. "They hang their hat on defense, and regardless of what our offense was, or who we had playing, it was going to be tougher to come by tonight. 54 is a really low number for our team. You throw [fatigue] on top of playing a really physical team, and it wore us down a bit."
Naburgs led Stetson with 18 points on 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. His quartet of triples gave the senior 135 in his career, one shy of the sixth spot in the Stetson record books. Graham added 15 points and a team high seven rebounds. Junior Willie Green chipped in with 11 points, six boards, two assists, and two blocks in the defeat.
The Hatters came into Monday's game leading the nation with 20.0 assists per game, but were only able to manage 14 against the Bulls. On only 19 total field goals, that is not so bad. Senior Liam McInerney, freshman Logan Irwin, and Perez each recorded three in the game.
USF was led by Toarlyn Fitzpatrick and Poland, who scored 20 and 19 points, respectively. The latter led the Bulls with 10 rebounds, four coming on the offensive side. USF shot only 25.0 percent from beyond the arc, but forced Stetson under 30 percent from three-point land (29.2) for the first time this season.
Stetson will now have its quickest turnaround to date, playing again at Virginia Commonwealth on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Richmond. The game can be listened to live and for free on WSBB 1230 AM in New Smyrna, 1490 AM in DeLand, at www.myam1230.com, or on HatterVision. VCUAthletics.com will also be providing a live video stream of the game. Live Stats, the @StetsonMBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.
