Time Was: Isaac Asimov's I-Botsby Steve Perry Gary A. Braunbeck
Isaac Asimov's I-Bots are back. Half-human, half-robot, these unique cybernetic creations--first introduced in Asimov's "Robot" novels, including "I, Robot"--live on in this brand-new novel by two of SF's rising stars. Annabelle Donohoe, the CEO of World Tech, is mad as hell." "Her dreams of world domination died the day Zac Robillard discovered her evil plans and fled World Tech, taking his greatest creation, his beloved I-Bots, and all his research, with him. More than super machines, more than robots, the I-Bots are eerily human in appearance, but not in abilities. Their genetic components - based on human DNA - and mechanical infrastructures give them physical strength and powers humans can only imagine, and a measure of free will impossible in robots." "Annabelle wants them back and will stop at nothing to get her way, including hiring the world's deadliest assassin to find Zac, and his I-Bots - the beautiful Radiant and Killaine, clever Itazura, Psy-4, and Stonewall - and bring them in...or kill them. For if Annabelle cannot have the I-Bots she vows that no one else can either. But Janus, the ruthless killer, is not the only hunter they must elude..." "Surrounded by enemies, Zac and the I-Bots can find no safe place, not even the streets. In the year 2013, the Silver Metal Stompers, a neo-Nazi gang, roam the nation's cities wreaking havoc on robots, especially Scrappers, out-moded homeless robots who huddle in hobo camps, rusting away unless they are repaired by a mysterious humanitarian and robotarian called DocScrap. In an unlucky twist of fate, the Stompers discover DocScrap is none other than Zac Robillard and that the I-Bots aren't exactly human...and vow to crush Zac and the I-Bots into wreckage.

Big Sean fumbles the flow at Rave show
Even the most dedicated hip-hop fan might have to admit that rap shows are not usually known for their excellent pacing.
Songs die just as they're getting started; shout-outs take the place of choruses or, although this is rarer, the performer follows a whim and recruits female fans to compete in an informal contest of callipygous qualities. »Read Full Article

To many, tagging Manny Ramirez as a "mentor" is an absurd suggestion, but at this point in his career, Ramirez can actually be a suitable role model—especially to Yoenis Cespedes.
Cespedes can certainly use one.
The Cuban defector recently moved to the United States to play in Major League Baseball for the first time in his career.
On the small-market Oakland Athletics team, Cespedes is alone in expectations and arguably talent. He could use a veteran of the game to keep him in check before it harms his game.
Cespedes has done well for himself so far.
He's produced decent enough while remaining relatively quiet. In just a few days time, he is set to return to action from the disabled list right as Ramirez reports for duty.
Both need each other.
Here are seven reasons why "ManRam," of all people, can be a reliable mentor to Cespedes.

This article has the Bears and San Fran talking trade for RB Lemichael James. http://www.sportsworldreport.com/ar...-mosley-targets-for-marc-trestman-defense.htm To be honest, I'm not familiar with this source as I saw this posted in another forum, so I do not know if these guys really have any juice or if it's all just imaginary speculation. However, it is the first I've seen about any discussion the Bears have had with San Fransisco who owns several picks in this draft. I would be shocked if the Bears had any interest in a trade for James for a pick straight up ( why would Frisco want another late pick?), but it is evidence that they may be talking and James could a piece of a larger swap on draft day that allows the Bears to move down and get more. Hey, it's something to talk about.

Who Is Sheldon Adelson and What Has Newt Promised Him?
Robert Reich: Never before in the history of American politics has a single couple given more money to a single candidate and had a bigger impact than Sheldon Adelson and his wife – all courtesy of the Supreme Court and its grotesque decisions that speech is money.

Shamus Cooke: Listening to Congress debate deficit deduction is like listening to a den of lions discuss the welfare of zebras. In both cases the debate is very one-sided.
Defense Secretary Wants Defense Spending Cuts–Really
Tina Dupuy: Going largely underreported, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates spoke at the Eisenhower Library (name for the president who coined the term "military-industrial complex"), last week calling for cuts in the Pentagon's budget. Gates asked, "Does the number of warships we have and are building really put America at risk when the U.S. battle fleet is larger than the next 13 navies combined, 11 of which belong to allies and partners?

Beyond Diversity: The Cosmopolitan Dilemma

About This Book
In the overlapping years when childhood and adolescence blend and shift like waves and sand, nothing is certain and everything is changing. In this extraordinary collection of stories, Avi, one of the most innovative authors writing for young people today, charts the turning points in the lives of seven protagonists in their restless middle years. Here you will meet, among others, the subject of the title story, who wonders why he shouldn't ask questions that have no answers — is it because he might discover the truth? You'll also encounter a "bad" minister's son who is dared to be good, and a chilling tale of a girl who is haunted by the ghosts of her cats. Always with a surprise built in, an angle unseen, these are stories that step just beyond the edge of the everyday.

Postwar drama 'Emperor' could use more Tommy Lee Jones
In "Emperor," Tommy Lee Jones plays Gen. Douglas MacArthur coordinating the reconstruction of Japan after the devastation caused by the atomic bomb at the end of World War II.
But the story is really about one of MacArthur's aides, played by Matthew Fox, of "Lost." By day, he is trying to determine whether Emperor Hirohito, considered a god by his people, should be tried for war crimes. But by night, he is haunted by memories of a Japanese girl he met and fell in love with before the war, and he embarks on a personal secret mission to find her. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

The application for the 2016 Fellowship is now closed.
Finalists will be announced by March 1.
Every year Wild Gift recruits a class of extraordinary young leaders to become Wild Gift Fellows. The Fellowship is a 16-month program that provides holistic support for upcoming social entrepreneurs pursuing break-through change. Successful applicants are visionaries committed to and capable of bringing about urgently needed change.
Read the application guidelines (FAQs) here
The Earth "is protesting for the wrong that we are doing to her, because of the irresponsible use and abuse of the goods that God has placed on her…"Humanity is called to take note of the need for changes in lifestyle and changes in methods of production and consumption to combat this warming, or at least the human causes that produce and accentuate it…"
-Pope Francis, June 2015
This September, Wild Gift will begin recruiting for the 2016 Climate Change Collective ("CCC") Fellowship that will run from June 2016 – September 2017.
The CCC Fellowship aims to support early-stage social entrepreneurs creating break-through approaches that will help adaptation to and/or mitigation of the impact of climate change on natural and human systems. While we intentionally choose to broadly define "adaptation to and/or mitigation of climate change", the following definitions borrowed from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are intended as guidance and examples:
Climate Change Mitigation refers to efforts to reduce or prevent emission of greenhouse gases.
The IPCC defines mitigation as: "An anthropogenic intervention to reduce the sources or enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases." Mitigation can mean using new technologies and renewable energies, making older equipment more energy efficient, or changing management practices or consumer behavior. It can be as complex as a plan for a new city, or as a simple as improvements to a cook stove design. Efforts underway around the world range from high-tech subway systems to bicycling paths and walkways, protecting natural carbon sinks like forests and oceans, or creating new sinks through silviculture or green agriculture are also elements of mitigation.
Climate Adaptation refers to the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.
The IPCC defines adaptation as the "adjustment in natural or human systems to a new or changing environment. Adaptation to climate change refers to adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities. Various types of adaptation can be distinguished, including anticipatory and reactive adaptation, private and public adaptation, and autonomous and planned adaptation."
This focused cohort will encourage collaboration, sharing of field-specific knowledge and innovation to increase their combined impact.
The Fellowship includes:
- 3 week orientation and deep trek in the Idaho wilderness with a focus on visioning
- Up to $10,000 grant to seed social ventures
- 15 months of one-on-one personal mentorship with ongoing access to robust network of professionals
- Opportunities to learn from and collaborate with other innovators committed to finding solutions to the greatest challenge of our time
- Lifetime membership in a vibrant and active network of leaders working to promote balance between people, resources and the values of wild nature
- Synergy River Trip down the Salmon River at conclusion of Fellowship
- Applicants must be 21-35 years old
- Applicants must be American or Canadian citizens (venture can be located anywhere in the world)
- Applicants must be willing and able to participate in a physically rigorous 16 day wilderness trek and a week long white water river rafting trip
- Applicants must be able to commit to all the other requirements of the 16-month Fellowship
- Applicants cannot be full-time students when the Fellowship begins. However, applicants can apply as a full-time student (i.e. graduating seniors are welcome to apply)
- Social venture must address adaptation to and/or mitigation of the impact from climate change
- Social venture must be early stage, normally meaning less than 2 years old. Organizations still in the idea stage are strongly encouraged to apply
- Social venture must be the original idea of the applicant
- September 1, 2015: Initial application goes live
- January 1, 2016: Initial application deadline
- March 1, 2016: Finalists announced
- March 20, 2016: Second round applications due
- May 5, 2016: New class announced
- July 13, 2016: Idaho Wilderness trek begins
- September, 2017: Synergy whitewater rafting trip
Here's what recent Fellows had to say about their trek experience:
"Wild Gift gave us the unique opportunity to turn off distractions, to be immersed in a beautiful place, and to surround ourselves with inspiring people for 18-days. In an otherwise fast-paced world, the experience left me feeling refreshed and with an energy that I am taking back to my business." –James Richards, Solar Dividend
"The Wild Gift was more than a trip, it was an introduction to a new way of living and thinking grounded in the natural world." –Lisa Curtis, Kuli Kuli
"After sixteen days in the backcountry with Wild Gift, I feel a sense of mental clarity—as if all the clutter has been cut away and I have a clean slate. For me, that clarity is already helping me refine my business plan in new ways." –Marty Schnure, Maps For Good
"The Wild Gift's deep wilderness trek allowed me to slow down and fill up on awe. I feel more even keeled and able to identify not only what is important for our business, but how we want to do it."–Raj Vable, Young Mountain Tea

Eva Longoria is making me think NBA WAG Power Rankings time, and we have some new additions. The Lakers already touted the hottest ensemble of sideline beauties. But now they have added sultry songstress Monica and tennis star Maria Sharapova to the mix.
What is more is that a quick look at the WAG rankings reveals something else. They match up almost exactly with the real NBA power rankings. Could there be something to dating a really hot woman that allows you to produce more efficiently on the field of battle? Or do the greatest just seem to always land the best? I don't care, let's look at some hot women.

In a shocking turn of events at Boshamer Stadium on Sunday afternoon, the Virginia Tech Hokies ended their 17-game losing streak by scoring three runs in the final two innings against the No. 13 Tar Heels.
Aided by a pair of crucial UNC fielding miscues, the Hokies were able to steal a 4-3 win –preventing what would have been an important weekend sweep.
After taking a 2-1 lead on Tyler Ramirez's RBI single in the seventh inning, the Tar Heels appeared to be well on their way to another victory. Instead a dropped liner by shortstop Logan Warmoth with one out in the eighth allowed Virginia Tech to tie the game on a safety squeeze the very next at-bat.
Then with the bases loaded in the ninth, UNC second baseman Eli Sutherland misfired trying to turn an inning-ending double play—allowing the Hokies to score two more.
Needless to say, Tar Heel head coach Mike Fox wasn't pleased.
"You gotta have that clock in your head to come off the bag," Fox said, referencing the fact that Sutherland's errant throw likely would not have gotten the second out even if it was on target. "Giving them one is fine, but giving them two obviously turned out to be the killer for us."
UNC—which fell to 23-9 and 8-7 in ACC play—still had a chance to win the game in the bottom of the ninth despite the late errors.
Ramirez hit a solo home run off reliever Cole Kragel with two outs to make it 4-3, before the Hokies made a dramatic error of their own. Third baseman Sam Fragale put his throw to first in the dirt after Warmoth hit a soft grounder—which then led to a walk by Brandon Riley and Kyle Datres getting hit by a pitch.
Sutherland came to the plate with the bases loaded and the winning run at second, but popped out to foul territory on a 3-2 count after taking three straight balls to begin the at-bat.
"They're somewhat playing 'not to lose' because that's kinda been the mindset that they've been in," Fox said. "So we thought if it gets a little pressure on 'em [we had a chance to win.]
"You gotta give [Kragel] credit, man," Fox added. "He goes 3-0, then comes back and throws three strikes and at least makes us swing. That's a pretty tough position to be in when your team's lost that many."
Ramirez, who led the Tar Heels offensively with his two RBI hits, was one of the few UNC players to have success against Virginia Tech lefty Packy Naughton—who used great command of his 92 mph fastball to limit the Tar Heels to just six hits during his seven innings on the mound.
UNC starter Jason Morgan, on the other hand, walked five batters and hit two more during a shaky stint that saw him pulled with one out in the fifth.
It was just an all-around sluggish performance from the Tar Heels, something Ramirez touched on afterwards.
"It's extremely frustrating, especially against a team we know we can beat," Ramirez said. "But we knew they were gonna come out today and compete. They had their best arm throwing and he pitched well, they played well as a team.
"We just couldn't get it done today."
Although UNC badly wanted to win Sunday to make up for being swept last weekend, Fox hopes his team will dig deep and find motivation within themselves—or at least from the large crowd expected in their next game–as the schedule tightens up.
Next weekend UNC travels to Charlottesville to take on defending national champion Virginia, but first the Tar Heels will play South Carolina on Tuesday in downtown Charlotte at the new ballpark used by the Charlotte Knights.
"If they've got a hangover from [Sunday], then maybe 11,000 people will help them get over it," Fox said, alluding to the expected attendance for Tuesday. "It'll be a fun atmosphere. That's the type of environment you'd like to play in against a very good team."
Up Next:
First pitch time is set for 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday. The Gamecocks are 28-5 in 2016, which should present a much different challenge than the Hokies–who are now 11-22 (2-13 ACC) with their win over the Tar Heels on Sunday.
Game Notes:
On a night windy enough to cancel the postgame fireworks show at Boshamer Stadium, JB Bukauskas made sure fans wouldn't go home empty-handed.
The hard-throwing sophomore from Ashburn, Virginia struck out a career-high 13 hitters Saturday night in No. 13 UNC's 4-1 win over the Virginia Tech Hokies.
Bukauskas now has a 5-1 individual record and lifts the Tar Heels to 23-8 (8-6 ACC) in 2016. His performance comes on the heels of Zac Gallen's complete game masterpiece on Friday–which also included 13 strikeouts.
Unlike Gallen though, Bukauskas only had 7 1/3 innings to reach the mark as his night was ended prematurely.
Virginia Tech shortstop Ryan Tufts broke up Bukauskas' no-hitter in the sixth with a single, before ending the shutout with a solo homer in the eighth–the only offense registered against the righty all night.
Tufts' 2-for-3 effort at the plate also represented half of the Hokies' four hits in the game–but it wasn't enough to keep his team from losing its 17th straight game and falling to 10-22 (1-13 ACC).
Often labeled as a guy who just rears back and lets his 97 mph fastball do the talking, Bukauskas' improvement as a pitcher in his second year–he's allowed more than two runs just twice this season–has largely been attributed to the development of a slider that touches 88 mph and is absolutely filthy.
Gallen–one of the team's two captains–has also taken Bukauskas on as sort of an apprentice this season.
"He's become one of my better friends on the team," Bukauskas said of Gallen. "Just watching him, how he throws that cutter, then works in to his slider sometimes–I took a little note out of his book with that one, throwing it harder.
"We throw bullpens together so we're always right there with each other–working on things together and learning from each other."
He then paused before saying, "Well mostly, me [learning] from him, but yeah, I'd say there's a little competition just because [we're the Friday, Saturday guys.]"
At one point during the game, from the fourth through sixth innings, Bukauskas recorded nine consecutive outs by picking up strike three. He also retired 12 straight Hokies after walking the first batter of the game.
"That's hard to do against anybody," UNC head coach Mike Fox said when reminded of Bukauskas' achievements. "I was keeping track of it a little just taking notes on what their hitters were doing, but yeah that's hard to do. He was good tonight, lots of swings and misses."
Fox paused for a second. "What else can I say?"
UNC freshman catcher Cody Roberts had an RBI single in the fourth inning to open scoring against Virginia Tech starter Jon Woodcock–before a sacrifice fly from shortstop Logan Warmoth doubled that lead in the fifth.
Eli Sutherland finally ended the night for Woodcock in the seventh with a two-run single hit hard to right field, but the Hokies made it interesting once Bukauskas was done for the night.
With the bases loaded and just one out following Tufts' eighth-inning homer, Tar Heel reliever Brett Daniels forced an inning-ending double play to escape the jam.
After Daniels allowed back-to-back singles to start the ninth, UNC turned to junior AJ Bogucki to pick up the save. Bogucki then recorded a fielder's choice before ending the game with back-to-back strikeouts.
It was an important win for UNC because it clinches a series win in the tough ACC–however with the way the Hokies are floundering, and given that the Tar Heels were swept last weekend at Miami, Fox sees Sunday's game as just as important.
"When you get swept in this league, you gotta try to get a sweep–if nothing else to offset it," the coach said. "I know we had one on the road against Duke but it'd be nice to get another one because it's only gonna get tougher from here–or so they tell me."
Up Next:
The series finale is set to begin Sunday at 1 p.m.
Game Notes:
Each Friday night during this college baseball season UNC fans are treated to what's known around Boshamer Stadium as "Gallentine's Day"–the chance to see junior starting pitcher Zac Gallen work his magic.
This particular Friday, Gallen–who has now officially embraced being called "The Milkman"–decided to take it up a notch.
The Gibbsboro, New Jersey native delivered perhaps the best performance of his career against Virginia Tech, throwing all nine innings in the No. 13 Tar Heels' 6-0 victory over the Hokies at the Bosh.
In doing so, Gallen gave up just four hits and struck out a career-high 13 batters–the first UNC pitcher to do so since current New York Mets All-Star Matt Harvey, now referred to by some as "The Dark Knight," fanned 15 Clemson Tigers back in 2010.
Coming off a huge upset loss on Wednesday to UNC-Asheville, the Tar Heels got the boost they needed to avoid losing to a Virginia Tech squad that has lost 16 games in a row and boasts a record of just 10-21 (1-12 ACC).
UNC jumps to 22-8 with the victory, and goes back above .500 in the ACC standings at 7-6 in league play.
Gallen–known for his ability to keep the ball in the strike zone–threw strikes on an astonishing 80 of his 118 pitches in the game. The righty also picked up his fourth win of the season (4-2) after running into some tough luck over the last two weekends against Georgia Tech and Miami, teams that UNC went a combined 1-5 against–including his only two losses of the year.
"That's something [UNC sophomore pitcher] JB [Bukauskas] and I were talking about in the outfield the other day at practice," Gallen said after the game. "He was just like, 'Hey man everything feeds off of you.'
"So that's just kinda my job on Friday night is to set the tone and leave the door open for those next two guys that are gonna throw [Saturday and Sunday]."
Helping Gallen's cause offensively for the Tar Heels was freshman infielder Kyle Datres.
Benched against UNC-Asheville on Wednesday due to his struggling bat, Datres was put back into the lineup as the designated hitter–the first time he'd occupied that role in his college career.
He responded by going 2-for-3 with a home run–another career first–and two RBIs.
Sophomore Brian Miller drove in UNC's first run of the game with an RBI single in the third, but Datres' solo shot in the fourth is what pumped energy into the crowd.
"It felt really good," Datres said. "I was in a little slump there, took a couple games off. Been working on my swing the last couple weeks, so to get that out of the way means a lot."
Datres' RBI single in the bottom of the sixth gave Gallen a 3-0 lead, which would prove to be plenty of cushion.
UNC didn't let up on the gas though, as it doubled that advantage with a three-run eighth–highlighted by Zack Gahagan's two-run single, which he drilled into right field.
Gallen came back out for the ninth to a large ovation, but put his complete game hopes in jeopardy by allowing a single to the lead-off man.
Had he not struck out the next three hitters, UNC head coach Mike Fox said he was ready to make a change given Gallen's high pitch count.
"These guys are going six days of rest between starts," Fox said. "I don't know exactly how much he threw last Friday, but that was probably his last batter [tonight]."
The coach then smiled. "But I won't tell him that."
Instead the junior finished off his first complete game of the season, and second of his career. This type of performance has become the norm for Gallen, who has started to make his name well-known in Chapel Hill.
The next step?
Making that nickname,"The Milkman," stick.
"It's fine by me," he said of the moniker. "A nickname, it's an honor, especially when you play at a place like this."
Up Next:
UNC will see the Hokies again on Saturday night, with first pitch set for 6 p.m.
Game Notes:
With all the snow and ice covering the East Coast, you can't blame the No. 2 UNC men's basketball team for thinking this game against Virginia Tech was some sort of vacation.
The Tar Heels came into Cassell Coliseum on Sunday riding a 10-game win streak–then opened up a 20-point lead on the Hokies in the first half.
But after a furious Virginia Tech rally, the Tar Heels were forced to hang on for a narrow 75-70 victory.
It was a comeback that quickly reminded Roy Williams' team that they were, in fact, on a business trip.
"We started thinking it was gonna be easy," the UNC head coach said after the game. "And I also took out Brice [Johnson]. I took out Kennedy [Meeks]. Isaiah [Hicks] was out. So three of our top six guys were out because they had two fouls.
"I've said all year long, our depth has got to be important to us, and I think it was," he added.
Johnson, the Tar Heels' best player as of late, added to his ACC Player of the Year resume with 19 points and 17 rebounds. He also made a significant impact on the defensive end–chipping in four steals and three blocks to help put away the upset-minded Hokies.
UNC is now 18-2 this season (7-0 ACC), but has not played the prettiest basketball over its past three games.
Joel Berry was the only Tar Heel to join Johnson in double figures–scoring 13, despite making just three of his 11 shots.
The struggles also continued for Marcus Paige.
Paige, the senior guard who came into Sunday shooting a combined 3-for-25 from the field with eight points over the past three games, finished with just seven points and made just two of his 10 shots. He did contribute seven assists, however, and hit a pair of critical free throws down the stretch.
"I know there's frustration," Williams said of Paige. "I don't think it's pressure. He and I talk, so I don't think he's pressing or anything. I think he's extremely frustrated, which, I think he should be extremely frustrated.
"If I had made three of my last 25," the coach continued. "Hell, I'd be hesitant too."
As a team, the Tar Heels connected on just three of their 23 attempts from three-point range on Sunday–and made just 37.8 percent of their field goals.
The foul trouble that hampered UNC's big men early on against the Hokies forced freshman Luke Maye into 11 minutes of playing time.
It also allowed Virginia Tech (12-8, 4-3 ACC) to get to the free throw line 32 times–of which it made 22. The Hokies–led by Zach Leday's 17 points–drilled eight three-pointers on the day, with three of them coming during the 18-3 run that closed out the first half.
Through it all, UNC still found a way to win–as ugly as it may have been.
"I was not concerned," Williams said about his team's recent shooting woes. "But now, I can be concerned if I want to, because three games in a row is enough. [We've] got to be able to step up and make some shots."
It's been well-documented in recent weeks the amount of depth the Tar Heels have. But this win was more about grit than it was about having a number of different players step up.
As the lead dwindled and the clocked ticked away, Virginia Tech seemed to have an answer for everything the Tar Heels threw its way–until it mattered most.
With the score tied at 68 and just two minutes to play, UNC tightened up defensively and made plays when they were needed.
Johnson and Paige combined to hit five free throws down the stretch, while Berry found Justin Jackson underneath the rim for an easy layup in between.
The Hokies during that span missed three shots and turned the ball over twice.
Williams' team simply put on its hard hats and did what it's become accustomed to lately.
Grinding it out, no matter how much whiter it makes the coach's hair.
Now, the number one ranking awaits.
Up Next:
If the Tar Heels do return to the top of the polls, they won't make their first defense until Saturday, Jan. 30 at home against the Boston College Eagles–the ACC's last place team.
Game Notes:
It certainly wasn't the prettiest game the UNC football team has played this year, but after letting a 14-point lead disintegrate in the final three minutes of regulation the 17th ranked Tar Heels were able to escape Blacksburg on Saturday with a 30-27 overtime victory over the Virginia Tech Hokies–keeping their playoff hopes intact.
"That's why I'm in this," UNC head coach Larry Fedora said afterwards. "To see [the players] reach their goals and dreams. We sit in those living rooms and tell them and their parents that my dream is for them to reach their dreams when they come to Carolina.
"For those seniors, their No. 1 goal this year was to win the Coastal Division, and they've done that," he added. "And we expect that to turn into bigger things."
Senior quarterback Marquise Williams fumbled three times in the game–and twice in the fourth quarter with UNC trying to run out the clock–but his 5-yard touchdown pass to Quinshad Davis in the extra period was a walk-off winner.
"Marquise really was never shaken–I can't say the same for me," Fedora said. "After the second fumble, he came off and he was like, 'Okay, I'm good, I'm good.' I didn't have a whole lot to say to him. I really didn't. There was nothing good that I was going to say.
"He went over there and got himself ready to go," the coach said about his quarterback. "He knew what was at stake and what he had to do, and then he went back out. He said, 'Don't worry, I'll make a play.'"
Already UNC's all-time leading receiver in terms of catches and touchdowns, Davis's touchdown clinches the ACC Coastal Division for the Tar Heels and their head coach, Larry Fedora. It also marks the team's 10th consecutive victory, bringing its record to 10-1 in 2015–and a perfect 7-0 against conference opponents.
All signs late in the ball game pointed to Virginia Tech pulling off a fairy tale ending for their head coach since 1987, Frank Beamer, in what was his final home game at Lane Stadium. Instead, Beamer's squad falls to 5-6 overall and 3-4 in the ACC–needing a win next week against Virginia to keep his 22-year streak of making a bowl game alive.
Hokie quarterback Michael Brewer completed 20 of his 35 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns–each coming in the game's closing minutes. His top target, receiver Isaiah Ford, continually burned the Tar Heel secondary deep all game long–catching eight passes for 155 yards and a score.
"When we talked all week about this game, we knew that this was the perfect storm," Fedora said. "Everything was going against us. They had the tribute to Coach and they needed to get bowl eligible and it was the seniors' last day in this stadium, and the black unis."
A defensive battle for most of the day, Williams's 18-yard touchdown run on the game's first drive was the only touchdown of the first half. Joey Slye's 32-yard field goal for Virginia Tech accounted for the only other points before the break, with UNC ahead 7-3.
The Tar Heels struggled with the crowd noise in Blacksburg, picking up seven false start penalties on offense–which helped contribute to the season-high eight punts they were forced into.
On top of that Williams struggled with his accuracy, only completing 13-of-26 throws, but for 205 yards and a score.
Taking advantage of that fact, the Hokies were able to hang around until the end–getting a 4-yard scoring run from Brewer to tie the game at 10 with the fourth quarter approaching.
Despite getting only three carries in the first half, Fedora turned to sophomore tailback Elijah Hood to try and put the game away in the end.
On back-to-back drives to begin the final period, the Tar Heels found the end zone by giving it to Hood, who gained 117 yards on 17 carries once it was all said and done.
Sophomore cornerback MJ Stewart then intercepted Brewer in the red zone with just over 5 minutes remaining and the Tar Heels up by a pair of touchdowns
It seemed, momentarily, like the game was over at that point. But the Hokies found a way to battle back.
A bad exchange on a handoff from Williams to Hood gave Virginia Tech the ball at their own 37-yard line. Then a couple of long passes by Brewer, one for 25 yards to fullback Sam Rogers, and a 26-yarder to Ford put them in business.
Four plays later–on fourth-and-goal–Brewer found 6-foot-7 tight end Bucky Hodges to make it 24-17 with 2:54 remaining.
TJ Logan got the Tar Heels going with a 21-yard rush to begin their next drive, but on the next play Williams fumbled again–and again Virginia Tech recovered.
Starting from UNC's 48-yard line, Brewer and Ford struck again–this time on a 36-yard bomb that set the Hokies up 12 yards from the end zone.
The script was similar to the previous drive, as Tech faced 4th-and-2. Only this time Ford got to finish what he started, hauling in a 4-yard score that ended up sending the game to overtime.
UNC won the coin toss to begin the extra period and chose to start out on defense.
Virginia Tech was unable to even gain a first down in their chance with the ball, going three-and-out and settling for a 41-yard field goal–meaning a touchdown would win it for the Tar Heels.
And that's exactly what they got, pulling things together after unraveling late.
An 18-yard pass from Williams to Ryan Switzer got the ball rolling on the drive's first play, before a false start penalty a couple snaps later put the team in a precarious position.
Third-and-goal from the 5-yard line. With the ACC Coastal Division on the line.
In the season opener against South Carolina, Williams was faced with the same situation and ended up throwing the ball into the outstretched arms of a defender–the only reason this team isn't undefeated now.
This time, though, he found the outstretched arms of the program's most decorated receiver. And with it, the right to play No. 1 ranked Clemson two weeks from now in Charlotte, his hometown.
"We knew we were going to have to play error-free," Fedora said. "That's what we talked about, just be really good in the fundamentals and the techniques, and be brilliant in the basics.
"And we didn't, but we found a way to win."
Up Next:
Although this win clinches the Coastal Division for the Tar Heels, they'll still have to defeat the arch-rival NC State Wolfpack in Raleigh next week to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Game Notes:
One win.
That's all it will take for the No. 12 ranked UNC football team to clinch the ACC Coastal Division and continue its dream season.
Standing in front of them?
A date in Blacksburg against the Virginia Tech Hokies–in what will be the final home game for their legendary head coach, Frank Beamer.
Blowout victories over Duke and Miami in the last couple weeks have shown fans that head coach Larry Fedora's team is a force to be reckoned with. Ranked 17th in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, the 9-1 Tar Heels have been largely overlooked thanks to losing the season opener to a now 3-7 South Carolina team, and also for having a weak strength of schedule that hasn't included a single top 25 opponent.
Because of that, UNC's playoff credentials have been a hot button issue this week. But for senior quarterback Marquise Williams, none of it matters much at this point.
"It's cool, but you can tell [the playoff committee] still doesn't respect [us]," Williams said at Monday's weekly press conference. "As long as [we] just keep winning football games—and keep winning by 30 and 40 points—I mean, eventually they'll have to respect [us].
"It's fun, but you can tell deep down inside they don't wanna talk about Carolina football," he added with a chuckle. "And that's alright."
The Tar Heels have an outside shot at making the four-team playoff for the national championship by winning out, and defeating Clemson in a potential ACC title game.
The next step, though, is to defeat Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium—notoriously one of the loudest environments in college football. Although the Hokies have struggled to an uncharacteristic 5-5 record so far, Fedora refuses to look past his opponent.
"It will be an extremely tough game, playing up there in Blacksburg," Fedora said. "Especially with Coach Beamer's last home game.
"There will be a tremendous amount of emotion," he added. "I'm sure that there will be a lot of former players there to see him in his last game, and so we will definitely have our work cut out for us."
Beamer has been the coach at Virginia Tech since 1987 and has won 234 games, made 22 bowl appearances, and produced NFL standouts like Michael Vick and DeAngelo Hall along the way. His teams have always been extremely sound on special teams and hard-nosed on defense—which Williams says could present a challenge this week for him and the rest of the dynamic Tar Heel offense.
"That's always been a great defense," Williams said about the Hokies. "You can't look over them because they're ready. [Defensive coordinator Bud Foster's] gonna have them ready to go in this game for Frank Beamer and it's exciting.
"They play [man-to-man coverage]" the senior continued. "They're gonna make [us] beat them one-on-one, and make competitive catches."
Part of the Tar Heels' recent success has come because they have taken care of the football—avoiding turnovers in each of their past three games. That's something Fedora and his staff have preached all year long.
But that's not the only message he's given to the team that has stayed consistent throughout the season.
"Coastal Division champs, state champs—that's it," Fedora said. "I don't really get into it, I just tell [the players] our goal every week."
He then added that, "We're like trained pigs. We've got something and we just keep doing it over and over and over."
That mindset has helped the UNC offense grow into one of the nation's most dominant, while its defense has been by far the most improved—allowing just 19 points per contest in 2015 after giving up 39 a game just one year ago.
Senior linebacker Jeff Schoettmer—who has been critical to that turnaround–has also not been afraid to tell the truth about what's been on the minds of the Tar Heel players all week.
"We're not worried about Frank Beamer's last home game or any of that," Schoettmer said. "We control our own destiny to win the Coastal and get to the ACC Championship. So that's really what we're worried about."
Broadcast Information:
The game is set to begin Saturday at noon, and will be broadcast live on WCHL's radio airwaves (97.9 FM, 1360 AM). It will also be televised on ESPN.
Game Notes:
Facing a potential "do or die" scenario on Tuesday, Zac Gallen led the struggling UNC baseball team to their most important victory of the season–a 5-3 win over the Virginia Tech Hokies in Durham that puts the Tar Heels into the pool play portion of the ACC Tournament.
Had Carolina (33-22, 14-16 ACC) lost, there was speculation that they may not be selected for the NCAA tournament.
Those worries can likely be put to bed now, thanks to Gallen's clutch performance–which also preserves the thin UNC pitching staff for the rest of the week.
Gallen (4-3) worked 6.2 innings for the game, surrendering just two runs on eight hits. He struck out seven hitters in the process.
Versatile infielder Alex Raburn had three hits for the Tar Heels to lead the offensive charge. Landon Lassiter had a pair of doubles and Skye Bolt picked up two RBIs to help the cause.
Virginia Tech's season is likely over, as they finish the year at 27-27 overall and 13-17 in the ACC.
The Tar Heels' All-ACC second team starting pitcher came out on top this time in his pitching rematch with Hokie left-hander Kit Scheetz.
"The main thing for me is just to try to keep my composure", Gallen said after the game.
"If I make my pitches most of the time they're going to get themselves out. I just try to stay out of the middle of the plate and make them hit my pitches, not try to give up any free hits. So luckily today I made some good pitches. I got some help from the defense, they really bailed me out," he added.
Gallen allowed a lead-off single to Virginia Tech center fielder Saige Jenco in the first inning, but then struck out the side–in a moment that foreshadowed what was to come.
Trouble looked like it had found Gallen in the second when he surrendered a base hit and a pair of walks to load the bases for Virginia Tech. Jenco then picked up his second single of the day, striking first blood for the Hokies.
But the sophomore from Gibbsboro, New Jersey remained calm and got shortstop Alex Perez to fly out and end the inning without any further damage being done.
The Hokies had another chance to break the game open in the top of the fourth–putting runners on first and third with just one out–but once again Gallen kept his composure and escaped the jam.
Not until the seventh did he leave the game after giving up the Hokies' second run. Jenco struck again with a two-out double, which was directly followed by an RBI single from Perez.
Reliable senior Trevor Kelley then took over for Gallen to pick up the final out of the frame.
After letting the Hokies creep to within one run in the top of the eighth, Kelley found himself in a difficult position with runners on first and third and only one out.
"It was a big situation. I had to get like two back to back strikeouts. And for me I'm just I'm more of a ground ball guy. And to get two strikeouts in a big situation, that's very rewarding for me," Kelley said.
The senior from Wilmington then returned to the mound and worked a scoreless ninth inning to seal the deal–striking out two more Hokies on his way to the save.
Meanwhile, Scheetz (3-4), who defeated Gallen by going seven strong innings on April 17, lasted just four on Tuesday.
Although he kept the Tar Heel offense at bay during the first three frames, he was done in by his defense in the bottom half of the fourth–as the momentum shifted completely.
Carolina got a huge break when Jenco dropped a routine fly ball in center field hit by Landon Lassiter to lead off the inning. Lassiter advanced all the way to third on the error, coming home to tie the game soon after on a sacrifice fly from Skye Bolt.
Two more runs would score for UNC–on a pair of RBI singles from freshman roommates Logan Warmoth and Zack Gahagan–to give Gallen a comfortable cushion to work with on the mound the rest of the way.
An RBI groundout from Skye Bolt in the next inning proved to be the difference in a win that did not come easy.
A perfectly executed suicide squeeze play by Eli Sutherland in the Carolina half of the eighth sent Korey Dunbar across the plate for the fifth, and final, Tar Heel run of the game.
"[We've] got to play under pressure," said UNC Head Coach Mike Fox, "Our team has competed pretty much all year, we just haven't been great"
"But we got the win that we needed to….we'll focus on that. We need to continue to get better as a team, certainly," he added.
Up Next:
The Tar Heels are now a part of a four team group that includes No. 3 Louisville, No. 13 Florida State, and Clemson.
UNC will play Louisville on Wednesday at 7 p.m., Florida State on Thursday at 7 p.m., and Clemson on Friday at 3 p.m.
The team with the best record in the group after Friday will play in Saturday's ACC Championship Game.
Game Notes:
As the ACC baseball tournament begins at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park on Tuesday eighth-seeded UNC will take on the ninth-seeded Virginia Tech Hokies in the second of two play-in games–and a loss could potentially end the Tar Heels' season.
Just a few short weeks ago it was thought that the Tar Heels could potentially host an NCAA Tournament regional at Boshamer Stadium.
Now they've been swept in back-to-back ACC series for the first time since 2001 on their way to a 13-16 record in league play. Pair that with an unspectacular 32-22 overall mark and you get a head coach with six College World Series appearances just hoping to play past Tuesday.
"I think Tuesday's do or die for us," said Mike Fox, "I don't think you can finish 13-16 in your conference–and lose the play-in game–and go to the NCAA Tournament."
"That's me just speaking, not looking at all the numbers and all the teams. I think you gotta earn you way in."
You have to go back again to 2001 to find the last time a UNC baseball team missed the NCAA tournament, a year where it finished 31-26.
Virginia Tech also the finished the year at 13-16 in league play, but with an overall mark barely above .500–at 27-26.
The conference tournament format—which has the teams finishing seventh through tenth compete in "winner take all" play-in games in order to advance to the pool play portion of the event—does not sit particularly well with Coach Fox.
"I do not like one-and-done, I've voiced my disapproval of that from day one," said the coach, "There's Virginia [in] seventh, and they've been playing well, and now they're in a one game elimination. And that's tough because they're a good team. I think they're deserving, especially with the way they finished [sweeping UNC this past weekend]."
"It's hard. Baseball's just not that type of game where it should be just one game elimination. That's just my opinion."
To move on, the Tar Heels will need a victory against a Virginia Tech team that has already proven it can beat this UNC squad, doing so on April 17 in Blacksburg against Carolina's All-ACC Second Team starting pitcher Zac Gallen—a loss that has not been forgotten in Chapel Hill.
"Yeah, Virginia Tech gave us certainly all we could handle up there," said Coach Fox, "We're starting Zac Gallen [on Tuesday] and he pitched the first game up there and got knocked around pretty good. Gave up a couple long-balls."
"They're gonna present all kinds of problems for us."
The most notable threat wearing a Virginia Tech jersey on Tuesday will be first baseman Brendon Hayden. Hayden was named to the All-ACC First Team after ending the regular season with 11 home runs–including a pair against UNC–51 RBIs, and a .314 batting average.
Although there is a possibility UNC could play three or four more games this week, Coach Fox can't look past Tuesday–especially when it comes to thinking about how he'll use his pitchers.
"When you put yourself in this position to play on Tuesday, you're set up for whatever the league decides to do with you, in terms of the next three days, and we really can't think about that. All hands are on deck with our pitching staff," he said.
If Carolina does win its play-in game, it would be placed into a group alongside Louisville, Florida State, and Clemson. Louisville and its first-round MLB draft prospect, starting pitcher Kyle Funkhouser, would be the opponent on Wednesday.
The Tar Heels are competing in the play-in round for the second year in a row, having defeated NC State 4-3 last year in Greensboro.
UNC also defeated Virginia Tech 4-1 in the 2013 ACC Championship Game, which was the last time the tournament was held in Durham.
First pitch for the game Tuesday is scheduled for 3 p.m.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/tuesday-holds-the-key-for-tar-heels-ncaa-hopes
Brian Miller's sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning broke a 10-10 tie, and helped the #23 Tar Heel baseball team pick up a wild 11-10 win over the Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday afternoon in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Carolina moves to 24-15 on the season, with an even 10-10 mark in the ACC, while the loss sends the Hokies back to 19-21 overall and 8-12 in the conference.
On a day that included three bases loaded hit-by-pitches, four multiple run rallies, 14 walks, and saw neither starting pitcher make it longer than two innings, UNC held on at the end thanks to Miller's sac fly and a strong 4.1 inning relief performance from Trent Thornton (2-4).
Like a young kid on a swing-set, this game was back and forth all day long.
In a rather bizarre turn of events, the Tar Heels scored four runs in the top of the first inning without even getting a hit against Virginia Tech starting pitcher Jon Woodcock. After getting the UNC lead-off man, Miller, to fly-out to begin the game, Woodcock walked the next five men he faced, and then hit the sixth–allowing Skye Bolt, Landon Lassiter, and Tyler Ramirez to come all the way around and score.
Woodcock was then done for the day after picking up just one out, with the junior credited with a fourth earned run in the frame when Carolina freshman shortstop Logan Warmoth hit a sacrifice fly off his replacement, Chris Monaco.
The Hokies were not rattled though, as they answered back immediately against super freshman JB Bukauskas with four runs of their own.
Four of their first five batters reached base against Bukauskas, with left-fielder Erik Payne's two-run single cutting the lead in half, before first baseman Brendon Hayden's second two-run homer in as many days erased the whole thing, making it a whole new ball-game tied at four apiece–after just one inning.
Crazily enough, the teams each tacked on a few more runs in the third in similar fashion, with the Hokies eventually snatching the lead and chasing Bukauskas from the game.
In Carolina's turn at the plate Chris Monaco hit Tyler Ramirez with a pitch, allowed a single to Korey Dunbar, and walked Joe Dudek–all with the bases loaded–to put the UNC small-ball attack in business.
Second baseman Eli Sutherland hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Ramirez, and then Dunbar scored on a sacrifice bunt by Logan Warmoth, because of a fielding error on Virginia Tech catcher Andrew Mogg at home plate, putting the Tar Heels back in front– even though they had amassed their six runs with just one hit.
But the Brendon Hayden show was not done yet, as the 6'6″ senior out of Twin Lakes, Wisconsin followed a pair of no-out walks with a game-tying two-run double. Hayden would then score to put his team ahead on another RBI double, this one by designated hitter Sean Keselica.
Seven runs was enough for UNC head coach Mike Fox to end the shakiest start of Bukauskas' young career after just two innings.
He replaced the freshman with his go-to relief man, senior Trevor Kelley, who allowed another run to cross the plate before getting out of the inning– on a controversial bases loaded hit-by-pitch call, which ended up getting Coach Fox ejected from the game, after Fox unsuccessfully argued that Tech's Mac Caples was not hit, but actually tipped the ball foul.
So of course, the Tar Heels went ahead and put together a rally for their leader.
Loading the bases in the top of the fifth with no outs, Carolina got one run back on Skye Bolt's ground-out, and then followed up with a two-run single to left-field by Landon Lassiter. The inning wasn't done until the Tar Heels scored a fourth time after Eli Sutherland was plunked by reliever Luke Scherzer (1-3) for the third bases loaded hit-by-pitch of the game, swinging momentum back into the visiting dugout yet again.
The Hokies got one run back in their next time at the plate, when center-fielder Saige Jenco drove in a run to make it 10-9, but that play spurred the Tar Heels to pull Trevor Kelley in favor of Trent Thornton, who put an end to the fifth with UNC still ahead.
Keeping with the theme of the game though, Virginia Tech made sure to tie the game against Thornton in the bottom of the sixth on Sean Keselica's second RBI of the day–making it an outrageous 10-10 tie entering the seventh inning stretch.
Finally though, the game would be decided, when Eli Sutherland doubled off Scherzer to lead off the Tar Heels' eighth inning effort, and later scored on Miller's sacrifice fly, while Thornton settled down after the sixth to pitch three straight scoreless innings to keep the Hokies offense at bay the rest of the game–earning a crucial win for his team–and avoiding the first series loss to Virginia Tech since Mike Fox took over as head coach in 1999.
Up Next:
The series rubber match is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m, with Carolina senior Benton Moss (5-0, 3.25 ERA) set to take the mound. Virginia Tech's starting pitcher is yet to be announced. The game will be shown on ESPN3 and broadcast live on WCHL.
Game Notes:
On the strength of a five-run sixth inning, the Virginia Tech Hokies rallied to defeat the #23 UNC baseball team by a score of 8-3 on Friday night for a surprise upset victory in Blacksburg, Virginia at English Field.
Coming into the game, UNC head coach Mike Fox boasted a 27-1 record all-time against Virginia Tech, but on this night the Hokies' huge inning gave them their elusive second victory against Fox. Their last win over Carolina came in 2007.
The Tar Heels fall below .500 in the ACC with the loss, dropping to 9-10 in the conference, while their overall record slips to 23-15. Virginia Tech jumps to 8-11 in the league and 19-20 in total after the big win.
Trailing 2-1 entering the bottom of the sixth, the Hokies struggled to string together hits against UNC starting pitcher Zac Gallen (2-3) through the first half of the proceedings–but everything changed when shortstop Alex Perez stepped to the plate to lead things off.
Perez hit a solo shot to tie the game, giving new life to the Virginia Tech dugout.
Then the floodgates opened up.
Erik Payne singled in the next at-bat, before immediately coming home on a home run by first baseman Brendon Hayden. When Sean Keselica singled to mark the fourth consecutive hit for the Hokies, Gallen's outing was done.
Coach Fox turned to his NCAA leader in relief appearances, senior Trevor Kelley, to try and get out of the inning without any more damage, but two wild pitches by Kelley, along with an RBI single by third baseman Ryan Tufts, led to two more Hokie runs–with the Tar Heels all of a sudden finding themselves in a four-run hole.
Leading the charge for UNC on offense was junior left-fielder Landon Lassiter, who went 3-5, with an RBI triple in the top of the seventh, which scored Skye Bolt and brought Carolina back within three.
However, that was as close as they would get the rest of the way.
A two-run double by the Hokies' second baseman Sam Fragale off of UNC reliever Spencer Trayner in the bottom of the seventh increased the lead to five, where it would stay until the finish.
Two scoreless innings from Luke Scherzer and Aaron McGarity kept the Tar Heels from putting up a late game fight, allowing singles to Brian Miller and Skye Bolt, but nothing more–sealing the upset win for the home team.
Up Next:
Carolina gets a chance at redemption in Game Two of the series on Saturday, as they'll send freshman phenom JB Bukauskas (3-1, 2.68 ERA) to the mound to face off with Virginia Tech left-hander Jon Woodcock (2-2, 3.66 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m., and the game will be broadcast on WCHL's airwaves.

Richard Overy: WWII bombing campaigns a costly, brutal failureHistorians in the News
tags: World War II, Richard Overy
THERE are many paradoxes associated with the European bombing campaign of the second world war. In the 1930s it was an article of faith that aerial bombing would transform the nature of war. Not only would the "bomber always get through", as Stanley Baldwin, then Britain's de facto prime minister, lamented in 1932, but when it did, the assumption was that it would visit so much destruction on city populations and national economies that any country on the receiving end would quickly be forced to surrender.
Yet when war broke out in 1939 no air force was capable of such devastation. Nor did the general staffs of the main protagonists have plans to use what passed for heavy bombers at the time to carry out such attacks, seeing them as adjuncts to ground warfare rather than forces intended for independent operation. Nearly four years later, even when allied bombers with the range and payload to do serious damage had become available in numbers, only the most blinkered disciples still believed claims that they could deliver a "knockout blow". The bombing campaign in Europe had become a Western Front of the air: a costly, grinding war of attrition with no clear-cut end and a yawning gap between ambition and outcome...

It took Sheena Sheard two hours on two buses, towing two children and a three-wheeled stroller, to get to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.
It would have been three buses but the trio legged out the final stretch to ensure Sheard could see her lawyer.
That's right, her lawyer. Sheard was going to see Eileen Carroll at St. Christopher's to determine whether she qualified for a hardship exemption that would allow her to buy health insurance on the now-closed Affordable Care Act marketplace.
"I am concerned," Sheard, 32, of West Oak Lane, said as her son Ziahil, 13, kept a sharp eye on 7-month-old Shania in the stroller. "I have tried everything in my power to get insurance."
