Recap the first day of Royal London One-Day Cup action when Derbyshire and Glamorgan collected impressive opening wins and Yorkshire sealed victory in a pulsating Roses encounter.
By James O'Brien and Dominic Farrell
9.50pm - That's all from us but the Royal London One-Day Cup offers little respite to the teams involved today. Derbyshire, Hampshire, Glamorgan, Middlesex and Lancashire are all back in action amid eight games tomorrow.
At least Yorkshire might get to enjoy their celebrations, eh? Join us back here tomorrow for much more of the same.
Here's a summary of today's results:
Yorkshire Vikings (324/7) beat Lancashire Lightning (277) by 47 runs at Emirates Old Trafford. Karl Brown struck a career-best 129 before the hosts came up short in the latest chapter of county cricket's richest rivalry. Alex Lees and Kane Williamson struck classy half-centuries in a fine team display from the White Rose.
Derbyshire Falcons (340/5) beat Hampshire (204) by 136 runs at the 3aaa County Ground. Centurions Wes Durston and Wayne Madsen got the Falcons off to an emphatic start. Michael Carberry and Glenn Maxwell provided early intent before Hampshire subsided.
Glamorgan (175/3) beat Middlesex Panthers (174/8) by seven wickets at the SWALEC Stadium. Three wickets apiece from Michael Hogan and David Lloyd damaged Middlesex badly before Glamorgan openers Jim Allenby and Jacques Rudolph tackled most of the run chase with aplomb.
9.28pm - RESULT! Yorkshire Vikings (324/7) beat Lancashire Lightning (277) by 47 runs at Emirates Old Trafford. Yorkshire secure the Roses bragging rights despite Brown's heroics, with the flying start granted to them by Lyth and Lees probably proving the difference. Kyle Jarvis was the last man to go, run out by more sharp work behind the stumps from Jonny Bairstow. Last night Yorkshire were desolate following their NatWest T20 Blast exit - what a difference a day makes!
Kabir Ali swings at short Bresnan ball but nicks to Bairstow. Lancs 272-9
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) July 26, 2014
9.20pm - Lyth takes a stunning low catch to remove Clark, running in from long-off. Rashid's second wicket follows a lengthy examination of replays from the third umpire. It is the sort of situation that often creates dread among a fielding side the longer it goes on, but the verdict falls in Lyth's and Yorkshire's favour. Surely Lancashire's race is now run on 272 for eight.
9.14pm - An entertaining over from Brooks costs eight as Clark and Kabir Ali send the Yorkshire fielders scampering after some catching chances. Lancashire need 60 from 30 balls.
9.07pm - One ball after a run-out scare, Wayne White ends a seven-ball stay by sending Rashid high into the covers where Kane Williamson holds on.
9.02pm - BROWN GONE! Brooks holds his nerve in a bout of "you miss, I hit" and a swipe across the line ends Brown's efforts on 129. What a sensational knock. Lancashire need 75 from 46 deliveries with four wickets remaining. Yorkshire must be strong favourites with the century maker back inside.
9pm - Simply wonderful strokeplay from Brown. Adil Rashid deceives him in the flight but the Lancashire man adjusts to swat a six down the ground. A slog-swept four follows in front of square and the over costs 12.
8.56pm - A short ball from Brooks gets the absolute treatment from Brown, landing many rows back. So long as he's still there, Lancashire will believe. They need 87 from nine overs.
8.45pm - Brown and Croft's running between the wickets has been relentless and ambitious but they come unstuck chasing a second that isn't there, with the latter just short on the dive. It's 213 for five and the big-hitting Jordan Clark comes in to join Brown.
8.40pm - Century for Karl Brown. This really has been a magnificent innings in the circumstances but Brown allows himself little time to take in the deserved standing ovation. He knows there is still much to be done.
8.38pm - Brown is within two runs of his ton but only because Lees has put him down again - once more from a very tough chance. The score is 204 for four with 13 overs to go. Lancashire have done brilliantly after their sluggish start but now need to start finding the boundary rope with greater frequency.
8.27pm - Lancashire are 191 for four after 35 overs and the players take drinks with the batting powerplay upon the resumption. This could be the game right here.
SIX! @karlos173 hits Lyth straight in to Pavilion seats, @LancsCCC 173-4 after 32ov need 152 off 108 balls #LANvYOR
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) July 26, 2014
8.09pm - Yorkshire find a vital breakthrough with a huge slice of luck. Brown drives hard down the ground off Rich Pyrah and the bowler gets no more than the faintest fingertip on the ball in his follow through. Agonisingly for Horton, the ball clatters into the stumps at the non-striker's end with him well out of his ground.
8.06pm - Horton and Brown bring up the century partnership and Lancashire are 158 for three after 30 overs. The equation is 167 from 120 deliveries. Where's your money folks?
Milestone: @karlos173 & @PJHorton20 share the first 100 partnership of our #RL50 campaign pic.twitter.com/1mBjI6Rxuf
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) July 26, 2014
7.47pm - Brown goes through to a fine half-century that has really altered the complexion of the Lancashire innings. He has one limited-overs ton to his name. The Red Rose probably need the Bolton man to make it two if they are going to pull this off.
7.43pm - That's the fifty partnership between Lancashire skipper Paul Horton and Brown. The latter has raced to 41 from 33 deliveries.
7.35pm - DROPPED! Brooks returns to the attack and Brown sends a top edge spiralling into the off side. Alex Lees comes tearing in from the fence but can't hold on.
We're through 20 overs of the home chase of 325. They are 91-3.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) July 26, 2014
7.30pm - That's what the doctor ordered for the Red Rose. Karl Brown advances to Patterson and clouts him for six. Another baseball-style thump yields four more, before a scampered three down to third man. It's 83 for three after 19 overs.
7.09pm - Another one bites the dust. Davies tries to whip Patterson over mid-on but Bresnan holds on once more and the wicketkeeper batsman goes for a 46-ball 20. Lancashire are 57 for three in the 15th over.
6.59pm - Adam Lyth comes into the attack and his occasional off-spin snares the big wicket of Ashwell Prince, who picks out Bresnan at mid-on. It's 51 for two and Yorkshire are well on top.
End of the mandatory 10 over Powerplay, @LancsCCC 40-1 Davies 17 Prince 0 need a further 285 off 40 overs #LANvYOR
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) July 26, 2014
6.45pm - The asking rate is already above seven per-over for Lancashire and the pressure tells as Khawaja departs for 22, top-edging into the on-side where Lyth caught superbly to give Bresnan the breakthrough.
6.36pm - It's been a good start with the ball from Brooks and Tim Bresnan, who have both used the short ball well. Steven Patterson comes into the attack and will hope to follow their lead. Lancashire are 28 without loss after six overs.
6.23pm - Davies squirts Lancashire's first four to the point boundary in the third over. They'll need plenty more where that came from. Brooks then gets one to climb on him and the keeper top edges to the rope.
6.15pm - The teams are back out at Emirates Old Trafford, with Jack Brooks opening the bowling to home pair Usman Khawaja and Alex Davies.
What a great win. Great performances all round. @Wjdurston3 and the skipper outstanding with the bat.
— gareth (@gazcross07) July 26, 2014
5.30pm - Yorkshire close on 324 for seven. It's an imposing total facing Lancashire, but they will attack it on a true Emirates Old Trafford surface where batting looks a lovely pastime. Brown shelled Rich Pyrah during the final set of six, which was well bowled by Wayne White.
Earlier, half-centurions Lees and Williamson were unable to kick on to three figures as Lancashire put the breaks on mid-innings. Imagine how many Yorkshire might have ended up with!
We'll catch you after the break.
5.22pm - Kabir gets a third wicket as Karl Brown pouches Jack Leaning on the midwicket fence for a 14-ball 18. Adil Rashid is in at nine in an impressively deep Yorkshire batting line-up.
Yorks 303-6 after 48.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) July 26, 2014
5.14pm - Bresnan's fun comes to an end as he drills a low Kabir full toss to Usman Khawaja at mid-off. An excellent and brisk 32 from the England man but also just reward for Kabir, who is in the midst of an expert spell of death bowling.
5.10pm - Tim Bresnan is lending Yorkshire just the impetus they need. The all-rounder has raced to 28 from 15 deliveries and the White Rose are 285 for five with four overs remaining.
4.57pm - Bairstow gone! Big moment for Lancashire as a top-edged pull off Jordan Clark falls into Croft's safe hands. Yorkshire are now 256 for five and their rivals have pulled this back well.
4.52pm - Bairstow is in fine nick and most certainly on the charge. Kabir Ali is thumped through wide long-on for four before seeing the next delivery sail back over his head. The seamer then gets a pair of yorkers in, but it could be a high-risk strategy with the Yorkshireman in this mood.
4.48pm - RESULT! Glamorgan (175/3) beat Middlesex Panthers (174/8) by seven wickets at the SWALEC Stadium. Just as they did in the NatWest T20 Blast last night, Glamorgan win at an absolute canter. Openers Rudolph and Allenby struck half-centuries to ensure Middlesex's below-par total would never be remotely threatening. An excellent team performance from the Welsh county.
4.46pm - It's two wickets in quick succession for Lancashire as Gale falls in similar fashion to Williamson, lobbing another catch up to Croft at mid-off. That means a second wicket for Parry, who completes his allocation with 2-58 and Yorkshire are 232 for four with nine overs remaining.
4.32pm - RESULT! Derbyshire Falcons (340/5) beat Hampshire (204) by 136 runs at the 3aaa County Ground - Wainwright finishes with 4-34 to complete a miserable day for the visitors.
Glamorgan and Yorkshire are both three down now. The wicket won't prevent the former from getting over the line but the Vikings would dearly have liked Williamson to have seen out the 50 overs. His dismissal for 70 brings Jonny Bairstow to the crease, so we could have some fireworks.
WICKET! Coles is bowled by Durston for a duck and Hampshire are 188-8 (31.3), needing 153 more to win #DERvHAM
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 26, 2014
4.20pm - Derbyshire have the scent of victory now after Sean Irvine is run out and Wainwright removes Liam Dawson. It is going to be a comprehensive one, too.
Glamorgan lose Allenby but his knock of 70 has ensured they will get their campaign off to a dream start.
4.05pm - Will Smith becomes Wainwright's second victim, departing for 35, and that could be curtains for Hampshire.
Finn removes Rudolph at the SWALEC Stadium but it has come far too late for Middlesex, with Glamorgan needing only 39 to win off 23.4 overs.
Kane Williamson reaches his half-century and looks well set for a big one as Yorkshire reach the end of 34th over on 188 for two.
3.51pm - Does this spell the end of Hampshire's faint hopes? Michael Carberry goes for 55, caught off the bowling of David Wainwright, to leave his side 149 for four.
100 Partnership from Allenby (53*) and Rudolph (46*). Brought up in the 21st over. Glam 100/0, needing 75 more to win in 29 overs #GoGlam
— Glamorgan Cricket (@GlamCricket) July 26, 2014
3.37pm - The Vikings' progress is halted slightly as Lees is caught at long-on off Stephen Parry for 66.
Jim Allenby raises his half-century off 58 balls to continue a brilliant day for Glamorgan.
3.32pm - Glamorgan are coasting to victory against Middlesex on 88 without loss in the 18th over.
Hampshire are rebuilding after losing a couple of quick wickets, while Yorkshire are on course for a big total against Roses rivals Lancashire. They are 147 for one approaching the halfway mark.
WICKET! Adams is caught by Chanderpaul at deep fine-leg for a duck off Palladino. Hampshire 108-3 (12.1), 233 more to win #DERvHAM
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 26, 2014
3.12pm - Tony Palladino ends Maxwell's innings but you get the sense Hampshire will keep coming at Derbyshire, knowing only something special will see them reach the 341 required for an unlikely win.
Lees has brought up his fifty to take the Vikings to 105 for one.
3.00pm - Glamorgan are well on their way to chasing down their target of 175, with Jacques Rudolph and Jim Allenby taking them to 46 without loss at the end of the ninth.
Glenn Maxwell has picked up where James Vince left off. He is 26 off 14 balls and Hampshire are flying on 87 for one.
Yorkshire continue to make good progress, 96 for the loss of Lyth in the 16th.
WICKET! Much-needed breakthrough as Vince drives Taylor straight to cover for 30. Hampshire 52-1 (5.4); 289 more to win #DERvHAM
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 26, 2014
2.38pm - Lancashire desperately needed and they have one as Lyth is caught in the deep by Karl Brown off the bowling of Kyle Jarvis to depart for 46 with Yorkshire 69 for one after 9.5.
2.34pm - We could be in for a thiller at the 3aaa County Ground, where Hampshire have moved to 29 without loss only three overs in.
Successive boundaries for Lyth off Jarvis. 53-0 in the eighth.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) July 26, 2014
2.23pm- Hampshire and Glamorgan have begun their contrasting run chases, with the former having it all to do to get their campaign off to the perfect start.
2.18pm - The Vikings are not dwelling on their T20 exit. They are 29 without loss after five overs.
2.04pm - Yorkshire are up and running thanks to a four from Adam Lyth, who has opened up with talented youngster Alex Lees.
INNINGS BREAK! Chanderpaul (29*) and Hughes (5*) walk off after Derbyshire hit 340-5 #DERvHAM https://t.co/B65WrG94e5
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 26, 2014
1.39pm - Middlesex would definitely have taken a total of 174 after they were reduced to 90 for eight. Their bowlers will have something to bowl at when Glamorgan come out to bat thanks to 40s from Dexter and Finn.
Hampshire must chase 341 after centuries from Durston and Madsen inspired Derbyshire to a mammoth score.
Meanwhile at Emirates Old Trafford, Yorkshire Vikings, looking to bounce back from the disappointment of missing out on the NatWest T20 Blast quarter-finals, have won the toss and will bat in their Roses clash with Lancashire Lightning.
Wicket. Madsen is caught at short cover for a career-best score of 138. Derbyshire 321-4 (48); Chanderpaul 27* #DERvHAM
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 26, 2014
1.19pm - Dexter and Finn are doing a good job for their side, with their unbeaten partnership of 58 taking Middlesex up towards 150 with four overs remaining.
Derbyshire are on course for 330/340, with Madsen on 135 in a score of 307 for three in the 47th over.
1.06pm - A captain's knock from Madsen as he becomes the second Derbyshire batsman to reach three figures on the opening day of the new cup competion. He quickly hit Sean Ervine for six to show he is not done yet.
12.56pm - Joy at last for Hampshire as Will Smith traps Durston lbw to end a brilliant innings of 134 from 129 balls.
12.51pm - It is not getting any better for Hampshire, who will soon be faced with a daunting target. Durston and Madsen have now put on 220 for the third wicket and have just over 10 overs to take Derbyshire's total to 300 and beyond.
Middlesex are heading towards a semi-competitive score thanks to a 30-run stand between Neil Dexter and Steven Finn.
CAREER-BEST! Madsen's 79* is his highest score in List A cricket! Well done Wayne! Derbyshire 207-2 (35); Durston 110* #DERvHAM
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 26, 2014
12.29pm - Durston has made history by becoming the first player to reach a Royal London One-Day Cup ton. It took him 106 balls and contained eight fours and one six. Madsen is not too far behind as Derbyshire close in on 200, having been 20 for two early in their innings.
Middlesex have hit a milestone of their own, albeit one which will not raise too many smiles. They are 101 for eight and still in big trouble.
12.18pm - And another one gone, Tim Murtagh giving Lloyd his third wicket. We could be in for an early finish at the SWALEC Stadium.
12.09pm - Middlesex are not coping at all well with the transition from T20 cricket to the new 50-over format. Toby Roland-Jones is the seventh Panthers man to fall and they are in danger of being bowled out for under 100.
At Derby, Madsen has gone to his fifty as the hosts show Middlesex how it is done on 162 for two in the 28th.
WICKET - Middx 86-6 in 24th. Simpson c Wallace b Lloyd 14.
— Middlesex Cricket (@Middlesex_CCC) July 26, 2014
11.51am - Sorry Panthers fans, Gubbins is the latest victim of the commentator's curse. He is caught behind off spinner Dean Cosker to leave Middlesex on the ropes on 76 for five.
In contrast, Durston and Madsen continue to pile on the runs against Hampshire, with their stand now into three figures.
11.43am - Durston brings up his half-century from 55 balls as Derbyshire pass 100 in the 19th over. They look on course for a big total against Hampshire.
Middlesex are mounting a recovery at the SWALEC Stadium, Nick Gubbins leading the way on 38 not out.
11.28am - Wes Durston and Wayne Madsen are going great guns for the Falcons. Their partnership of 58 has taken the home side to 78 for two at the 15-over mark.
Things go from bad to worse for Middlesex as they lose their fourth wicket, Ryan Higgins edging behind to give Dewi Penrhyn-Jones his first senior scalp.
WICKET: Hogan gets his third of the morning. This time it's Morgan - caught behind for 4. Middx 33/3 after 10.3 overs
— Glamorgan Cricket (@GlamCricket) July 26, 2014
11.06am - Middlesex are in a spot of bother now and Hogan is the man to do the damage again. Chris Rogers lobs a catch to David Lloyd at mid-on to leave Glamorgan in a strong position in the ninth over.
Derbyshire have recovered to reach 47 for two after 10 overs.
10.45am - Derbyshire hit 16 from the first two overs but have been pegged back by two Hampshire wickets, the latest coming as Scott Elstone is bowled by Matt Coles without scoring.
Wicket. Godleman is caught at point off Wood for 5. Derbyshire 17-1(3); Durston 11* #DERvHAM
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 26, 2014
10.35am - Middlesex lose a wicket in the first over as Dawid Malan leaves a straight one and is bowled by Michael Hogan for a golden duck. Great start by Glamorgan.
10.31am - We are up and running in both of our early starts. Will there be fireworks from batsmen still in T20 mode or a more considered approach with plenty of overs in front of them?
10.14am - It will be interesting to see how the teams go about their business in the middle overs. They may have to bide their time and set a platform for the last 10 overs, which may take some adjustment after a 14-match NatWest T20 Blast campaign. The group stage of that compeitition came to an end in style last night.
10.03am - We have news from the middle at Derby, where Hampshire have won the toss and stuck the home side in.
Glamorgan have done likewise so Middlesex will join Derbyshire in getting an early crack at the new 50-over format with bat in hand.
10am – Hello and welcome to the first day of the Royal London One-Day Cup, the new domestic List A competition. The 18 counties have been split into two pools, Group A and Group B, with the top four in each progressing to the quarter-finals.
Today's fixtures are as follows:
Group A
Derbyshire Falcons v Hampshire, the 3aaa County Ground, 10.30am start
Lancashire Lightning v Yorkshire Vikings, Emirates Old Trafford, 2pm start
Group B
Glamorgan v Middlesex Panthers, the SWALEC Stadium, 10.30am start

When Reese Witherspoon was hit on by a "really drunk guy" one night at a pal's party, she never guessed that the "jerk's" behavior would somehow lead to meeting her future husband.
But it was, in fact, Jim Toth who rescued the actress.
"Jim came over and said, 'Please excuse my friend, he's just broken up with someone,' " Witherspoon, 35, recalls to Elle magazine of her first encounter with the man she went on to marry last March.
"I remember thinking ... Jim was a really good friend, pulling [his drunk pal] out of that situation. That's just kind of who he is, a really good person."
Before meeting her CAA talent agent hubby, Witherspoon admits she was a "totally different person," explaining that she lived a life of fear and sadness, following her 2006 divorce filing from ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.
"I used to be afraid to travel and afraid to leave my house, afraid to leave my kids – that something horrible was going to happen," she says. And her past emotional hardships have only made her appreciate the present that much more.
[Jim] really surprised me," she says. "You don't know who you're going to end up with. When I was 20, if you'd asked me ... I wouldn't have said Jim."
Among Toth's qualities, Witherspoon admires his caring soul.
"Jim's like, 'I'm gonna show you every day what a good partner is, what a good person is,' " she says. " 'I'm going to take care of you. I'm going to do it so much that you're gonna get used to it.' I was like, 'What are you talking about? I've never had anybody like that in my life.' "

Former Lady Green Wave standout Kwanza Murray will play for the Lackawanna College Womens Basketball Team next school year.
Murray was joined by family and friends Saturday to celebrate her signing with the Scranton, Pa. junior college.
I tried out for the team when I was there on vacation and I made it, Murray said. Im excited and looking forward to playing at another level. There is good competition there, but I think Ill do fine if I put my heart and soul into it.
Early on, Murray demonstrated she had the skills to play beyond high school. As a freshman she became a major contributor for Summerville and helped her AAU team to an undefeated season and a state championship. As a sophomore she earned all-region honors. That success carried into her junior year, but she wasnt able to play for the Green Wave as a senior and the scholarship offers her family once hoped would come from college programs never did.
The ordeal served as a wakeup call.
I know I have to stay focused and stay out of trouble in order to do good things in life, Murray said.
She continued to play basketball with the Queens of Charleston AAU team so her shooting remained sharp. Last season she led the team in scoring, averaging 15.8 points per game, and was among the leading rebounders.
Kwanza is a unique individual who can play at a high level, Queens of Charleston coach Fred Paden said. She puts so much effort into the game. She has a passion for it that I dont see in a lot of kids.
He is hoping Murray will eventually be able to transfer to a Division 1 college.
She is not scared to go to the hole and she can shoot from outside, he said. A team can use her as a shooting guard or to play the three.
Murray plans to major in Communications/Media Arts.

Kathryn M. Battle was the victims' assistance officer for the police Homicide Division.
A more inadequate job description can hardly be imagined.
Kathryn Battle dealt with the survivors of murder as if they were her own family. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She didn't hesitate to donate her own time, and even her own money, to help people whose family members were brutally snatched from their lives by killers.
Talking about her, those who knew her and worked with her constantly used the expression "above and beyond the call of duty."

Who should host the 85th Academy Awards?
Tina Fey, Hugh Jackman, Sandra Bullock and...Chris O'Dowd?
Neil Patrick Harris
It's time. Nobody has paid his dues circling and approaching this gig like Neil Patrick Harris. He's been reliably excellent as a Tony Awards host. He's been solid as an Emmys host. He sings. He dances. And he starred in "The Smurfs," so he's not just a TV guy. With Harris, you get to pretend like you're going young and fresh, while simultaneously knowing with absolutely certainty that he'll be able to host a professional telecast with few rough bits and no need for lag-enducing banter. Give him an opening and closing number and that's all that's required. Still, Harris is yet another TV star whose show is on a different network, which seems to be a concern for ABC. Also, there's a very real chance that Harris' surplus of hosting experience might be a drawback. You don't see Billy Crystal hosting TV Land award shows. Billy Crystal is OSCARS OR BUST. Harris is "Have tuxedo, will travel."

Mary J. Blige debuts 'Betty & Coretta' as star and producer
Grammy Award-winning recording artist Mary J. Blige is the star and executive producer of the Lifetime original movie "Betty & Coretta," airing this month (you can watch the movie now at www.mylifetime.com). Focusing on the extraordinary women behind the two men who would change history, "Betty & Coretta" tells the similar true stories of Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther King Jr., and Betty Shabazz, wife of Malcolm X.
In a conference call with Celebrity Baby Scoop, Blige opened up about the "women (who) stand behind powerful men." She also discussed the importance of strong female role models and the lessons she hopes audiences will take away from the film.
- On the biggest challenge that Shabazz and Coretta Scott King faced as the wives of such iconic figures:
"In my opinion, their husbands being assassinated, period, was the biggest challenge. They were family women, and that's all they knew. The biggest challenge was that the children didn't have their fathers to help take care of them."
- On how Betty was a strong female role model for her children:
"From what I could see, Betty was the one getting the children educated and making them understand that education was the key to everything in the world. I think Malcolm was big on education as well. Betty was strong, because she focused on educating her children and making sure they didn't stop that education, and she also protected them."
- On what she wants people to take away from this movie:
"I want people to always be strong in light of struggle. Those women were going through some horrible trials in life, yet they were so strong. Be strong in trial, stand by your relationships with your friends and love them through, and don't give up."
- On how this movie will be relevant to women today, especially single mothers:
"I think it will be very relevant nowadays, because there are so many single moms.
"They will understand that you don't always need a man, like Betty said, but you need to train yourself and get education to take care of your children. You have to have the courage and nurturing spirit that Coretta has and continue to fight for your family.
"I think both Betty and Coretta will resonate with single mothers."
- On how significant these wives were to the Civil Rights Movement based on what she learned:
"They were very significant; it was a huge thing that they did."

Cindy Sheehan, the mother of slain soldier Casey Sheehan, has vowed to ramp up her protest of the war in Iraq when the U.S. death toll hits 2,000.
Sheehan says she plans to give a speech outside the White House and then chain her self to the barricade outside the building, Reuters reports.
"I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home," she said last week. Doing so, Sheehan said, would probably result in her arrest. "When I get out," she added, "I'll go back and do the same thing."
If Sheehan remains true to her word, that action could come at any time. As of Sunday, the death toll stood at 1,996 U.S. soldiers.
While the 2,000th fatality may focus more criticism on the war, Sheehan said every death is a tragedy.
"Every single member since Number One has been tragic and needless and unnecessary," she said. "My son was somewhere around 615, and I've been working so hard for peace since my son was killed and now almost 1,400 more soldiers have been killed."
Sheehan began her open protest of the war last summer when she camped outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, and demanded a meeting with the president. Her presence there turned into a full-fledged protest movement that drew hundreds of supporters, including folk singer Joan Baez, as well as a sizable group of war supporters.
When Bush left Crawford, Sheehan took her protest to Washington, D.C., and other cities across the country.

Hair colors they are a-changin' in the music world: Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have all gone dark. But Mark McGrath's new platinum blond shag has nothing to do with restyling his pop persona. "I'm trying to beat the gray to the punch," says the Sugar Ray frontman, who had been plucking out the offending strands. "But at least I still have some hair! You've got to look at the positives at this old age of mine."
McGrath may be 35, which is more like 65 in rock-star years, but he's got plenty of reasons to feel like a kid. He and his Sugar Ray bandmates—guitarist Rodney Sheppard, 36, bassist Murphy Karges, 35, drummer Stan Frazier, 35, and Craig "DJ Homicide" Bullock, 32—are tighter than ever after 15 years. On June 3 the group releases its fifth album, In the Pursuit of Leisure. "You think of Sugar Ray, you think of the beach and going to the party," says radio host Rick Dees. "They are fast becoming the new millennium's Jimmy Buffett." Certainly, McGrath's sex appeal doesn't hurt. Says Dees: "He has a James Dean attitude with Tyrese abs."
Leisure is packed with summer-ready songs in the vein of their previous hits "Fly," "Every Morning" and "When It's Over." "The fact that we grew up a mile from the beach," says Sheppard of the Orange County, Calif., band, "just comes out naturally through our music." That's not all that comes through lately. For Leisure's "Chasin' You Around," "Rodney came up with this chorus: 'I spend all my time/Chasing you around,' and I'm like, 'That's cool, I'm chasing a chick,' " says McGrath. "I ask Rodney, 'What chick are you talking about?' He goes, 'My [2-year-old] son [Campbell].'"
In other words McGrath isn't the only Sugar Ray member who's growing up. Karges has a 6-month-old son, Matthew Jr., with wife Julie, 28, and says he "likes to go to Bed Bath & Beyond and get linens." Frazier, who will marry publicist Jennifer Casinelli, 24, in August, plays chef: "Chopping vegetables is good therapy." Sheppard tends to Campbell and 6-month-old Charlotte with wife Gretchen, 31. Meanwhile the single Bullock designed the landscape for his Claremont, Calif., pad.
The mellowed lifestyles don't mean that Sugar Ray has stopped having fun. The bandmates still have an onstage tiki bar for their current tour with matchbox twenty, but McGrath says they've learned from their past excesses. At their peak of fame in 1999, "I was becoming this spoiled rock guy," he says. "There was too much drinking going on, and it was getting too crazy." Now "we're certainly no saints and no one's 12-stepping here, but there's less partying."
Instead of sleeping in, McGrath rises at 7:30 a.m. in his Hollywood Hills home to let out dogs Chopper, Lola and Ruby. He's enjoying domestic bliss with his girlfriend of nine years, aesthetician Carin Kingsland, 30. "I didn't know there was linen-spray stuff, and now I can't live without it," he says. "She's got me wearing slippers, for God's sake!" While McGrath says the relationship "has had its ups and downs," he's almost ready to tie the knot. "It's probably time," he says. "But right now I'm going to concentrate on the band."
That's just where his focus has been for the past 15 years. Growing up in Newport Beach, Calif, (parents A.M., 61, a training manager for a software company, and Edward, 61, a retired financier, divorced when he was 12), McGrath "was the shy guy that got all the chicks," says Charlie's Angels director McG, his best friend since childhood. But Sugar Ray was his true love. Formed in 1988 as the Shrinky Dinx, the then punk-rock band played local college parties before renaming themselves after boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and softening their sound with their 1995 recording debut, Lemonade and Brownies. In 1997 they broke through with Floored, followed by 14:59 in 1999 and Sugar Ray in 2001—more than 5.5 million albums sold in all.
Next, McGrath wants to try acting. "For every Mark Wahlberg there are 99 Vanilla Ices," he says of singers turned actors, "so I want to make sure I'm ready." He feels the same way about fatherhood, which he may be ready to embrace in a few years, with one caveat: "I want to be the Disneyland dad." McGrath might be an aging rock star, but "I still have a lot of kid qualities. My kids are going to get mad at me for playing with their toys!"

BMI View: The contentious politics of oil in Iraq are continuing to fuel a downward spiral in Baghdad ' s relations hip with both the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Turkey , and are having knock-on effects on our long-term oil production outlook . Most recently, and i n addition to having provided ultimatums to major international oil companies (IOCs) such as ExxonMobil and Gazprom , the Iraqi federal government has also complicated its working relationship with Turkish state-owned company TPAO on the back of its deteriorating relationship with Ankara. Indeed, the Iraqi Cabinet ' s decision to expel TPAO from exploration Block 9 is symptomatic of the problems that could g row worse over time.
The Iraqi government ' s decision to award state-owned company TPAO 's interest in exploration Block 9 in Basra Province to Kuwait Energy underscores the ongoing disintegration of Baghdad's relationships with both the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Turkey, its neighbour and critical trading partner. TPAO was recently expelled from the block on the back of growing ties between Ankara and the KRG, particularly as the two continue to increase the amount of Iraqi Kurdish crude oil exported directly via Turkey without the expressed approval of - or requisite payment to - the Iraqi federal government.
Growing Turkish-Kurdish Energy Trade
Reports that production from Genel Energy ' s Taq Taq oilfield in Kurdistan has been reaching markets via trucks in recent days has exacerbated tensions between Baghdad and the KRG and Ankara. This is in addition to the ongoing export of other regional production via trucks, as well as approximately 15,000 barrels per day (b/d) of condensate coming from the Khor Mor gas field. An ongoing payment dispute has already resulted in a disruption to exports being transported through the Baghdad-controlled Iraq-Turkey pipeline.
I n response to the suspen sion of exports, the KRG announced in May 2012 that it was in discussions with Ankara over the construction of a new 1mn b/d pipeline linking Kurdish oil fields with Ceyhan, an international export hub on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. KRG natural resources minister Ashti Hawrami said the pipeline could be co mpleted as early as August 2013. Such collaboration is a clear blow to Baghdad ' s authority and control over increasingly large Kurdish production volumes, signalling both a further entrenchment of the conflict as well as the realisation among the Turks and Kurds that deepening their own bilateral energy relationship s is mutually advantageous, irrespective of the political conflict s such moves perpetuate.
Politics Are Poisoning The Well
We have long been highlighting the deteriorating relationship between Baghdad and the KRG, as well as the conflict ' s knock-on effects on Baghdad ' s relationships with key foreign oil companies, including ExxonMobil , Total , Statoil , Chevron , and most recently Gazprom Neft ( see ' Gazprom Latest To Face North-South Choice, ' November 12, 2012 ). E ach of these companies has chosen to quit some of Iraq ' s most lucrative fields in favour of developing the below-ground potential in the KRG when given an ultimatum by Baghdad.
A t the heart of the conflict between Baghdad and Erbil , the capital of the KRG, are fundamental disagreement s over the jurisdiction of Iraqi federal and regional authorities, the role and rights of foreign oil companies, and the terms of a national hydrocarbons law, which has been elusive since the Iraqi Council of Representatives failed to approve one in 2007 ( see 'Progress Made In Baghdad-Erbil Dispute, But Fundamental Issues Remain Unsolved', October 2 2012 ).
However this politics-driven row between Baghdad and Erbil is having a measurable impact on the country's long-term production forecasts. Indeed, Baghdad is sustaining the negative dynamics that are encouraging major IOCs to pull out of southern Iraq, just as some remaining producers, including BP, Royal Dutch Shell and Lukoil, are announcing lower-than-expected peak production targets for some of their major fields in the country. For its part, the KRG has been emboldened by recent developments, and increasingly believes it can benefit from a more independent energy policy, making an agreement increasingly less likely in the short-term ( see 'Export Halt Highlights Persistent Tensions,' January 7 2013).
As a result of these interconnected dynamics, we have reduced our expectations for oil output in 2022 from 8mn b/d to 7.6mn b/d, as above ground issues pose a threat to ambitious production targets. We remain relatively bullish, given the country's substantial hydrocarbons potential; however, growth will remain dependent upon the fiscal terms, political developments, and infrastructure investment that will either support or constrain oil sector growth.

Jennifer Bohn, a teacher at Orlando's Evans High School, is getting national recognition.
People magazine named Bohn its Teacher of the Year. She'll be honored in New York on Wednesday with the new distinction.
Bohn said the recognition is nice, but she gets the most satisfaction from her students.
Over the phone Tuesday, she recalled a recent message from a former student.
"She said, 'I know it's been many, many years but I just wanted to call and say thank you. I was looking through my journal from high school, a time that was difficult for me, and I noticed how many times referred to you and the conversations we had. You really encouraged me,'" Bohn said.
Bohn has been teaching at Evans for 18 years. Her focus is at-risk students, who she helps with leadership development skills.
Bohn's bond with her students is so strong, many of them call her "mom."

Do You Need Supplemental Insurance?
|Email Print
As a young professional, it's easy to begin thinking that you are practically invincible. If you have a job that offers health care benefits (and if you're ready for the PPACA to take effect in 2014), it doesn't seem necessary to supplement with anything else.
Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. There are many reasons that even young professionals should consider supplemental insurance.
What is Supplemental Insurance?
Basically, supplemental insurance is the "extra" insurance that you can buy to help cover situations that might not be covered by your regular insurance. You might want to buy vision or dental insurance. Perhaps it makes sense to purchase disability insurance.
When you look at your health policy, and realize just what isn't covered, you might be surprised — and ready to supplement your insurance needs.
Disability Insurance
One of the most important types of supplemental insurance, says attorney Shane Fischer, is disability insurance. "I recommend everyone purchase long-term disability insurance, and periodically increase the coverage as your income grows," he says.
"As a personal injury lawyer, I see normal, healthy people get severely injured in accidents that prevent them from resuming a normal life," Fischer continues. "Because they don't have long-term disability insurance, they can't maintain their lifestyle, and are put in a real financial bind trying to pay the bills with their meager savings."
This can make sense for many young professionals. Even if you feel that catastrophic/accident health insurance is sufficient for your needs (since you might not have any recurring health issues and no family), it can still make sense to supplement with long-term disability. That way, if you are unexpectedly injured and can no longer work, the insurance will help you make up the difference.
Fischer suggests, too, that you save up a good chunk of money so that you can cover your costs in the short-term. That way, you might not need to get a short-term disability policy on top of the long-term version of the policy.
Other Supplemental Insurance
Other types of supplemental insurance should be considered based on your situation and your obligations. I have a son who will doubtless need braces in the next few years. As a result, we're looking for policies to help cover those costs — even though dental insurance isn't something we've supplemented with in the past.
We also don't feel the need for vision insurance. We pay for yearly eye exams and corrective lenses/glasses out of pocket. The fact that we have a Health Savings Account makes these costs tax-deductible, so there is at least a little bit of a benefit, even though we don't have insurance.
The type of insurance you get, and the amount of coverage that you buy, should consider you situation. If you have a family history of chronic disease, it might make sense to get extra insurance, or to buy long-term care coverage. If you have a young family, your insurance considerations should also take into account the impact your loss of income could have on your entire family.
Remember: insurance is designed to protect your assets. If your current policies aren't enough to take care of the situation, consider supplemental insurance.

Quantum leaps into life sciences data management with StorNext 4.0.
By Kevin Davies
March 16, 2010 | With one eye firmly on the soaring data demands in life sciences and next-generation sequencing, San Jose-based Quantum Corp. has released a version 4.0 of its scalable StorNext data management software, which it believes offers a solution for the storage needs imposed by the remarkable growth in unstructured data and rich file formats.
Quantum provides data storage solutions for a variety of industries, including digital media, oil and gas, financial and the sciences. The major focus is on data protection, archiving, backup and recovery, using virtual tape libraries and other products to share high-speed content for files on disk, with petabyte volumes par for the course.
The StorNext product line, which has been around for about a dozen years, started as a high-speed, shared SAN file system and as the product evolved, transparent data movement for tiered storage and archiving was added with the Storage Manager option.
According to Shawn Klein, director of software partner development, Quantum views the life sciences as an "adjacent market" but Quantum hasn't needed to make many changes to the product. The move beyond media and entertainment is relatively new, says Klein.
Quantum's strength is in managing data storage, from disc-based and tape libraries used for data backup to tape libraries used for archiving. Klein says the "secret sauce" is that the software works across multiple platforms, compatible with most types of disk drive, tape libraries, and operating system.
What Happens Next
The StorNext file system is a heterogeneous, high-performance file system for large volumes of data. It makes the SAN storage look like a local hard drive. "You just point the application in Windows to the D drive and it looks like a local hard drive to that box," says Klein. "We don't care whether it's a satellite image or MRI. We know how to handle images real well."
The storage engine moves data automatically. Users can set whatever data policy they like: for example, move any file in a certain directory into a second tier, or move to tape if unopened in 10 days or 30 days. "After you render an image for a couple of weeks, you can move it to a lower tier of storage. Because that file isn't being accessed with the same frequency, you can save cost and better manage your environment by moving to a lower tier of storage," says StorNext product marketing manager Chris Duffy. "And yet, the applications and users don't know the files have been moved. It looks like the file is still in your D drive."
This provides flexibility for long-term archiving, providing a large number of distributed targets. Klein says that whereas competitors have to introduce a third-party data mover, StorNext has it embedded. "There's no third-party application to plug in to lift the information and place it somewhere else," says Klein.
Among the new features of the version 4.0 is support for file-based replication from one environment to another. The data deduplication feature is fully integrated and resides in the file system. As Klein explains, "you can drop a file into a 'dedupe' directory, and once it is there, the engine takes over and deduplicates the data."
Klein calls the data dedupe feature nothing short of revolutionary, like "compression on steroids." Says Klein: "Dedupe has been hot and putting it into a primary file system is a really big deal. Replication has been around for a long time, and we've been using third parties for that functionality." Now, the policy engine for replication drives the dedupe feature. There's a lot of cool use cases for that combined functionality."
StorNext 4.0 also has a web services GUI. "Managing petabytes of data isn't easy, so the GUI is simplified, providing monitoring and web services XML available for application partners," says Duffy.
So far, the most visible life science case study is at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). Perhaps not coincidentally, Baylor is based in Houston, where Quantum has a strong presence given its relationship with the oil and gas industry. Quantum won the Baylor deal last summer after a relatively short sales cycle. Quantum partnered with storage company DASDI, which originally identified the opportunity for StorNext. Quantum has also done deals in Singapore and Austria.
"With such high volumes of data generated daily from DNA sequencing, and the need to access hundreds of terabytes of data at any given time, StorNext offers the scalability and support we need," says Geraint Morgan, director of Information Systems at the BCM Human Genome Sequencing Center. Morgan expects the BCM genome center's storage requirements to push past two PB.
"We can scale performance and capacity independently. If somebody needs to add more sequencers but their capacity remains unchanged, we can help them increase performance without adding mandatory capacity," says Klein. "Similarly, if you just need another 1 PB data, you don't have to buy additional appliances, you can just grow capacity. We're vendor agnostic when it comes to disk. If the customer loves HP today but wants to put in EMC or IBM, we can put those all together and make them look like one big hard drive and virtualize that. So we really help the customers keep costs down."

There's just something about a pig in a blanket.
Maybe it's because they make us feel like we're 8-years-old again. Maybe they remind us of the BEST SUMMER EVER when we were teenagers.
I've seen these little babies totally delight some of my hard-core foodie friends.
I'm talking about my gourmet-est, food snobbiest of friends. The ones who are all about sous vide, grass-fed, hyper local. The ones who wax poetic about their favorite artisan honey, which is made in Brooklyn by a one-legged beekeeper with two hives on his roof. Etc. etc.
You get the picture.
Everyone loves a good pig in a blanket.
This version is a slightly fancier take on your traditional Pig in a Blanket. I use a full-size dog, spiral wrap 'em in buttery puff pastry, and sprinkle with chunky kosher salt. I actually use all beef hot dogs for these.
Rainy Memorial Day weekend
Hope you guys all had a great Memorial Day weekend!
So, Memorial Day weekend started out really rainy here in Salem, MA. Like, really rainy.
Everyone was ready to grill. The stores were stocked up supplies.
Our grill, however, was as waterlogged as could be. (Clearly, we forgot to check the forecast…)
I set about improvising some kind of loosely-related Memorial Day type fare that we could make inside.
(p.s. Like my pics above? I'm getting super into Instagram. If you're on the thing, hit me up here!)
Thanks, Hebrew National!
The good folks at Hebrew National were kind enough to toss me a little beef to post about their hot dogs (thanks, guys!).
I was happy to partner with them. I've cooked their hot dogs for years. They're all beef, taste great, and I really do love 'em. You know me…I only endorse stuff that I like and can get behind 110%.
Alrighty, let's get cooking! These little guys are unbelievably easy to make. Frozen puff pastry makes it a snap.
Pigs in Blankets with a Twist
5 hot dogs (I like Hebrew National)
1 sheet puff pastry
1 large egg, beaten
Coarse kosher salt
Serves about 5
Thaw your puff pastry
Take your frozen puff pastry out of the freezer about an hour before you want to use it. Let it sit on the counter to come to room temp.
Prep it up
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Beat your egg in a small bowl and set aside.
Unwrap your hot dogs. Dry them off with a paper towel. Prick each all over with a fork to keep them from poofing up too much on you in the oven. Set aside on a plate.
Wrap your hot dogs
Dust a board with a little flour.
Unroll one sheet of puff pastry.
Sprinkle it with a little flour and spread it around.
Give the puff pastry a quick roll so it's flat and uniform.
Cut 5 strips of puff pastry that are about 1-inch wide.
Grab a hot dog and one strip of puff pastry. Start the hot dog on an angle like this, and roll him up, tucking the dough as you go to keep it nice and snug.
When he's all rolled up, brush the end with a little beaten egg to give it a nice seal.
Transfer your wrapped hot dog to your prepared pan. Brush him liberally with beaten egg.
Repeat with the rest of your hot dogs.
How about some stars?
I tried another look for the hot dogs, though we weren't as crazy about how this version looked. Cut a rectangle of dough large enough to wrap your hot dog with only the ends poking out.
Cut a couple of stars (or other shape) out with a small cookie cutter.
Set your hot dog in the center and wrap him up.
Seal the edge well with beaten egg.
Set on your pan and brush with beaten egg.
Sprinkle each wrapped hot dog with coarse Kosher salt.
Bake your hot dogs
Pop your pan into your pre-heated 400 degree F oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Yank them out of the oven when they're puffed and golden. Let them rest for about 5 minutes on the pan. Transfer to a dish and serve immediately.
Send me your pictures!
Have you made this recipe? What did you think? Send me a picture if you like, and maybe I'll add it to this post, with credit to you!

Fayetteville-Manlius schools' $1.295 million security project won't be completed by the end of the school year as the district had hoped, but should be finished over the summer. The project has been delayed because of a recent backup in approving projects at the state Education Department.
Then, the four to five bids on the project came in higher than expected, prompting the district to reject them and start all over, said Mike Vespi, assistant superintendent for business services. Part of the problem, said Superintendent Corliss Kaiser, is that material and labor costs have gone up since the project was approved by voters in May 2007.
Vespi said the district is about to solicit bids again, and expects to receive more acceptable bids this time. The previous bids were due in mid-September, and Vespi said many contractors were already busy with other projects. "We had very low participation in the walk-through of the buildings by interested contractors," he said.
The project, which has no impact on school tax bills, calls for improvements such as installing security cameras, access controls at the front door and replacing keys with proximity cards.

UNITAR-DESSC Workshop Highlights ICTs and Social Media for Sustainable Development
4 May 2012: A workshop on "Connectedness and Sustainability" highlighted the key role that social media and information and communication technologies (ICTs) could play in facilitating change for sustainable development and raising awareness on sustainability issues.
The workshop, which was held 4 May 2012, in New York, US, was organized by the New York Office (NYO) of the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), in cooperation with the Digital Energy and Sustainable Solutions Campaign (DESSC). It was held as part of the NYO's Rio Preparation Forum, which was launched to support the preparation process for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20).
The workshop included two panels titled: Social Media for Sustainable Development; and ICTs, Business and the UN: Cooperating to Promote ICTs for Sustainable Development. Discussions focused on how ICTs and social media can contribute to efforts to achieve sustainable development around the world, and included examples of various initiatives in this regard. The workshop also highlighted challenges for ICTs and social media, especially for developing and least developed countries (LDCs). [UNITAR Press Release]

After early adjustment, Lyco defense shuts down Pillar, Albright
September 22, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
READING – Lycoming defensive coordinator Steve Wiser huddled with the Warriors on the sideline late in the first quarter and knew he needed to devise a new plan of attack to contain Albright's Scott Pillar.
The receiver who plagued Wilkes a week ago to the tune of 14 catches and more than 150 yards was well on his way to doing the same thing Saturday. It took him just 11 minutes to record five catches, 67 yards and a touchdown Saturday at Gene Shirk Stadium in a key MAC game as the Warriors tried to match up with him man-to-man wherever he went.
So after the 6-foot-2 Pillar made a brilliant catch on a fade pass for a touchdown with 4 minutes to go in the first quarter, Wiser had that meeting with his defense.
Pillar never caught another pass. And from that point on, the Warriors' defense flourished in a 29-14 win over Albright that left Lycoming as one of just two teams still unbeaten in MAC play.
"Coach Wiser said we need to do something about him because he was really hurting us in the first quarter," sophomore safety Tanner Troutman said. "So we double covered him, giving him extra attention. So I was playing robber on the inside part of the field and whoever is covering him has the outside. So we put him in a position where he can't make a catch on us."
To the point of Pillar's touchdown catch, Albright quarterback T.J. Luddy was 6 of 8 for 102 yards and a touchdown. Following that Pillar touchdown, Luddy and backup quarterback Adam Galczynski combined to go just 11 of 21 with a touchdown pass and three interceptions.
It was a defensive performance worth of the precedent the Warriors had set over the previous two seasons. Because with Pillar not able to find open room, Albright struggled to find other receivers. Tight end Eric Wade caught a 5-yard touchdown pass and another big catch on third down.
But after taking a 14-0 lead, Luddy completed just two more passes to his own team while throwing three to the Lycoming secondary. Troutman and Matt Talerico each had an interception that was returned inside the Lions' 2-yard line and led directly to a score, and linebacker Kyle Sullivan picked off his first pass to stop a third-down drive.
"We just threw bad balls. We had receivers open and threw behind them," Albright head coach John Marzka said. "The first pick we threw behind an open receiver right to the defender. The second one all we needed to do was put some air under the ball, and (Luddy) didn't throw it with authority. We had an open receiver and we throw it to the only guy (Sullivan) that's in the area. You can't turn the ball over four times against anybody and expect to win let alone against a team like that."
It was merely a continuation of the success Lycoming's defense has had against Luddy and Galczynski the past two seasons. Coming into Saturday's game the two had combined to complete just 22 of 65 passes for 176 yards and five interceptions. Although the yardage surrendered in yesterday's game was more than the Warriors allowed in the previous two years combined (207), the three interceptions were the killer.
The two touchdowns from Troutman's and Talerico's interceptions gave Williamsport its winning scores.
"I don't ever tell Steve what to do. The guy is awesome," Lycoming head coach Mike Clark said. "He's going to see it and he's going to figure it out and he did."
The turnaround started with the pressure the Warriors put on Luddy with its front four. It was the same pressure they had gotten on him in the first quarter, but they began to start finishing the play, getting sacks. C.J. Arhontakis and Dwight Hentz each recorded a sack, and Kyle Sullivan and Braden Zeiner each recorded a half-sack.
The Warriors were already dominating the Lions' run game and allowed just 40 yards total on 23 carries for the game. The added pass-rush pressure left Luddy and Galczynski unable to set their feet and make strong throws.
"They do a great job. They're a great defense and Steve Wiser foes a great job," Marzka said. "But we didn't play the way we were capable of, and that's what's disappointing."
"It starts up front. Everyone stresses it to their team," Troutman said. "If you get the pressure, it makes my job boring in the secondary. They stepped up and flushed the quarterback out of the pocket and I was able to jump one and the offense put it in the end zone. That's how it's supposed to work."
