I seem to stuck at creating a complete application even after reading a few books on Android.
That wasn't the case when I first did PHP 10 years ago, after reading 2 or 3 books, I managed to grasp the idea behind, start making database interactive scripts with very minimal referencing to the books.
Android seems like a giant beast which is hard to handle. If I were to make an app with map function, I can't write more than 5 lines without reading the books. When I wanted to create another app with telephony function, I would "copy" the codes from books and modified from there. After learning for 2-3 months, I still couldn't remember the programmatical ways how to handle ListActivity. There seem to be a few thousands of classes that I need to remember. And till now I still not knowing the reason to use "this" as context, I just figure to use it when context was needed, if not getApplicationContext() would be a good replacement. The thing is, 99% when context was used, it must be a call of "this" from current activity, why couldn't Android framework handle the context internally and do developers a huge favour and let the 1% call it with extra arguments when it's really needed?
When I did PHP, I spent 25% of the time on script planning and overflow. 70% on writing the code. 5% on referring the syntax.
Now as I do Android development, 5% time needed on planning (because most of the apps look very straightforward with minimal purposes), 50% time copying the codes (from books or online sources), 10% time modifying the codes, 35% troubleshooting where the code went wrong. My job is basically one thing - blending all 'tiny recipes' into a working condition.
Was it just me, or most developers stumbled into the same problem?
Well, coming from a C# background myself, I quickly picked up the syntax very quickly. I did not read any books, I used the google to start learning. I would say it took me 3 months to grasp most the concepts, but still need to check how its done online for almost 6 months I would say. But after that I was able to write just about most of my apps without using google for help, except for new things that I have not done before. But it is now quite easy for me to remember. One of the trickiest things for me to remember was Adapter concept, but I got that down now.
And to answer your context question:
A Context is a handle to the system. It provides services like resolving resources, obtaining access to databases and preferences and so on. An android app has activities. It's like a handle to the environment your application is currently running in. The activity object inherits the Context object, that is why you can use this from an activity level.
This is a very good reply. Almost an answer I -wanted- to hear.
Since I've almost zero OOP knowledge in the past (i didn't use OO in PHP, though I could understand what's written by others, hence "almost"), plus my growing age which leads to slower learning pace and lousier brain memorizing power, I would give myself at least twice or triple the time mentioned to master the exact same level achieved by you.
That is, 9 months to grasp the concepts, 18 months before I can start writing apps fluently without referring to tutorial samples.
Which means I'm not even 1/6 of there yet. I'll keep reading & pumping more knowledge into my brain deposits, follow more sample codes, maybe the main problem is that I'm lack of practice.
I am glad it helped you. In my experience, the best and quickest way to learn is to have a project and do it. Google how to do each section as you go along. The more projects you do, the quicker you will learn it.
Good luck
I can't add to the discussion regarding Android development, but I agree with NightStalker-DNS about learning.
I'm "middle" aged and started off learning procedural Basic, it's taken quite some time to get my brain into thinking OOP but I like to think I'm getting there.
What works best for you may be different of course, but what I do is:Skim documentaion to get an idea of what's there and get familliar with terminologyTry a few simple "hello world" type scripts to make sure the environment is set up correctlyDo a few "walk through" scripts to reinforce my learning of syntaxWork on projects, going back to the documentation / looking at sample code when need be
Unless I'm interested in learning how to do something in particular, I mostly learn on a "need to know" basis.
I think a key point to learning is to understand how the code works. Copy-Paste code is OK to test the envirnment, but leaning on it too much without understanding it doesn't help me learn anything, certainly not "best practice" as there is plenty of poor code out there. You may end up with something that "works", but it might not neccessarily be the "best" or even "good".
Don't worry about age too much. In my experience I've found I have an easier time learning things now without all the distractions and preoccupations of youth.
Thanks Mittineague for sharing your experience with me.I was on pretty much same ground like you, started off by picking up on BASIC (basica / qbasic, during the 90s, who wasn't at that time?
But I then left programming in late 90s for study, chose to pursue a subject which didn't require coding knowledge. It wasn't until 2002 i started doing php for like 2-3 years (mainly as hobby where i wrote for fun and made little side income), after which it was another 'lost decade'.
To me OOP wasn't as scary like some said. Recently I went to local bookstores, did a few sessions of "free readings", managed to gobble up the ideas behind it, because it makes sense in most part.
However, Android development, on the other hand, looks a lot like a giant beast, which is hard to be tamed. To developers, it's more like putting together the scattered pieces of jigsaw puzzles, rather than working the code from ground up.
The more classes and samples one could memorize, the better coder he is (as an android developer). It defies the purpose of "there's more than one way to do it" - a popular belief in many programming languages. There's actually only a few ways (if not one) to make it work in android while a lots more ways to break it, one must abide a few dozens rules and coding patterns to make the code works. Like mentioned above, I still don't understand when or why should i used 'context' in some functions while not in others, though I briefly understood its main purpose is parsing the current environmental resources for other components to be interpreted.
E.g., when we use Toast.makeText(context, strings, duration), what's the 'context' doing there? It serves no 'obvious' purpose rather than some internal data parsing. Some serious programmers would argue how useful the context is for code efficiency especially in multiple activities, but really we are falling back to low-level or even assembly language with that thinking. Why not Android team make 'context' optional by following the current 'activity' state and save all the confusions?If, 'context', must be parsed without altering its content (most of the time, 'this' or getBaseContext() could not be modified), what's the exact reason we must make it as an argument?
And as for the coding patterns, say, I want to make a specific marker on a map where a user input its GPS in EditText(textbox). Sounds pretty basic. But it's not, at least not to me. (I wonder how many could write from scratch without referring to any references. )What I would do was finding all resources available about map marker, the perfect case would be there's an exact recipe ready for use, if not, I would copy out those similar codes with classes that make sense (MyLocationOverlay(), addOverlay(), etc) filter out the unwanted lines, joined all the codes together, praying that it will work.
Not sure if it's only me, but that really puts me off. Can't it be much simpler. Calling a map with a rectangle (2 point GPS -top left & bottom right), then place a specific marker with GPS on it, set zoom level, navigable logic (true/false), etc. Done. When we need multiple locations, we'll recall same class with different objects. Then depend on our needs, we could draw a straight line to calculate distance, a real streetview path with real distance, etc. That's it! Is that too much to ask?
I don't know if that's the reason. On Google Play, though there are near 800,000 apps, but many among those apps rendered not much useful, even among the 'useful' ones perform very basic functions like 'show me the car park location', 'your friend's current location at xxx via sms' etc.
Perhaps the difficulty in coding practice limits the apps usefulness and creativity. I have a dozen ideas which (in my humble opinion) works better than FourSquare, but just could not realize it into app, though they were just performing basic GPS marker functions, storing into SQLite (and these data will be fetched into server's for public sharing), Store ratings and comments, near-distant ads auto displayed (via wifi or bluetooth) etc. I was thinking if every laptop/pc equipped with gps and the data was embedded into browser's headers, I would have managed to create a script like this in PHP with not much problems at all.
Well, I shouldn't complaint too much. Maybe I have not dig far enough and am not there yet.
But I'm seeing some replacements to the native way of coding that might come in the near future, not HTML5 (Mark Zuckerberg's FB web app should endorse HTML5 more than anyone else on earth, but he has not), maybe something similar to AppInventor, but with greater flexibility and features. Maybe an improved version of AppInv will make creating apps much easier and innovative. Creating Angry Bird on adroid should be as easy as doing it in Flash.
I take back what I've said about HTML5.
After spending the last few hours googling for latest progress in HTML5, it looks promising and could very well be the future main choice of most developers in mobile apps.
I was comparing the syntax as well. For an average developer, like myself, coding in HTML5 is much easier and more intuitive than native java.
Hi,Before starting any application development or software development we need to make proper planning. because poor planning cause more error. we have think about the target audience, compatibility, purpose of application, and finally testing.
I started with a solid computer science degree learning the basics of programming, during my studies I worked as an intern on various projects. After studies I started coding for large companies and picked up a lot. With such a background I had no problem learning to develop Android and iOs applicatoins, including a solid server side backend
Web development isn't easy, but application development has a whole other set of challenges and I think most web developers experience these kinds of challenges as they move to applications. Android in particular doesn't have perfect documentation and there's so many things that the platform doesn't do automatically that you have to do on your own and that just adds to the complexity level. The key is to just make sure that you're focused and learning one new thing every day. Eventually you sort of take a step forwards and figure out exactly how to develop applications.
Your knowledge of web development can actually help your Android development because you should know how to build a restful API for data access and storage and to some extent that's a hard thing for new developers.
I'm able to get into Android app development because PhoneGap helps me leverage my HTML/CSS experience. Now I'm converting my iPhone apps to Android one by one, using the same HTML/CSS code.

Floating Point Rounding
You need to round a floating-point number to an integer.
Use one of the functions round/1, ceiling/1, floor/1 and trunc/1. Note, the standard Erlang distribution does not come with either floor/1 or ceiling/1, but they can be easily implemented in terms of trunc/1
floor(X) -> T = trunc(X), case X - T == 0 of true -> T; false -> T - 1 end. ceiling(X) -> T = trunc(X), case X - T == 0 of true -> T; false -> T + 1 end. 1> floor(-4.3). -5 2> ceiling(-4.3). -4 3> trunc(-4.3). -4 4> round(-4.3). -4 5> floor(3.5). 3 6> ceiling(3.5). 4 7> trunc(3.5). 3 8> round(3.5). 4 9> round(7). 7
The procedures all return integers.
round/1 returns the closest integer to x, rounding to even when x is halfway between two integers. trunc/1 returns the integer closest to x whose absolute value is not larger than the absolute value of x. floor/1 returns the largest integer not larger than x. ceiling/1 returns the smallest integer not smaller than x.
For the floor and ceiling functions implemented above, T will always be less than or equal to X. We just need to check if there is a difference between the two in which case we will either increase or decrease the truncation depending if we want to floor or ceiling X.
Further general information on math and rounding is available from:

Round 10 at Germany's Hockenheimring marks the halfway point of the thrilling and utterly unpredictable 2012 Formula One World Championship.
Hockenheim used to be the second fastest track on the calendar, after Monza, and its 6.8km had claimed the lives of many racers, including Lotus legend Jim Clark.
In 2002, the long and ominous runs into the forest were severed in the name of safety, completely changing the nature of the circuit and, with it, killing-off a lot of Hockenheim's character. Nevertheless, the new layout has created some great modern races.
The first-gear hairpin is the scene of most manoeuvers, and getting the braking right here is critical, as is traction at the apex. An aerial camera manages to capture the action as it accelerates away from the corner in time with the cars.
The stadium section is electric, filled with thousands of klaxon-wielding fans. Turn 12, which is at the entry to this section, is a thrilling 205km/h fourth gear corner and an occasional passing place – but only for the most fearless.
Kimi Räikkönen has never won in Germany, neither at the Nürburgring nor here at Hockenheim. This year he's out to break his duck. He'll have to beat his team-mate, though. Kimi has taken more points from the last two rounds but Romain Grosjean has been blistering, hunting down a possible win in Valencia before his engine cut out and recovering from the back of the field at Silverstone to finish an impressive sixth.
Since handing the European Grand Prix to Valencia, Germany has seen their annual race alternate between the two venues and, after a 24 month absence, the roar of F1 returns to the Baden-Württemberg track.
After the British Grand Prix, Lotus were forced to change the gearbox on Grosjean's car and this has resulted in a five-place grid penalty for the Frenchman. Still, we've seen his tyre management and overtaking skills in recent races so a strong result is still attainable.
Local start time: 14h00
Number of laps: 67
Circuit length: 4.574km
Race distance: 306.458km
Lap record: Kimi Räikkönen (McLaren, 2004), 1:13.780
Kimi Räikkönen : "There's no reason why we shouldn't be fighting for another podium. I've always enjoyed driving in Germany, but the problem is that luck has never been on my side and something has always stopped me from winning. At Hockenheim the car can make all the difference, and luckily we've got a good one. You need good traction out of corners. Some hot weather would be good. Usually at Hockenheim it has been very hot, and that suits our car well as it's not that hard on tyres. Let's hope for some real summer weather."
Romain Grosjean: "I like Hockenheim because I've raced there quite a few times. In fact, one of my first single seater races was there in Formula Renault 1.6 in 2003. Then in Formula 3, I did about eight races at the track because we went twice a year with the Euro F3 Series, so there are a few good memories and I'm looking forward to returning. Hopefully we'll have some updates on the car, get pole position, a win and the fastest lap! The perfect weekend!"
The campsites will be full, the beer will be flowing, and the facial fuzz is sure to be epic. If you are planning on getting any sleep, best stay outside of Hockenheim in one of the surrounding towns, like Speyer or Heidelberg.
Because Hockenheim is in a remote location, many choose to drive from their European bases rather than take a plane. Accommodation in Hockenheim is in short supply, so people are spread out across a large area. However, even the smallest German town has a decent pub, and it should be lively on race weekend. Hockenheim is also quite close to the Black Forest, which is incredibly scenic and a worthwhile tourism excursion.
The best hotel nearby is the Hip Hotel in Heidelberg. Yes, the name does engender a degree of cynicism, but it really is cool. The 27 rooms take different international themes. So whether you wish you were in Amsterdam, Zermatt, Bali, Dakar, Tokyo or Katmandu, there's a room furnished to suit. And there is a Heidelberg-themed room, in case you're happy where you are.
Pubs are Heidelberg's speciality. There's Vetter, a brewhouse concocting some pretty powerful pints, including the Vetter 33 which, at 33 percent, could probably power an F1 car for a full race distance. It was actually listed in the 1994 Guinness Book of Records as the world's strongest beer.
If you prefer your boozers Irish, try The Dubliner. Try the Stowford Press cider. You might not have heard of it, but Lotus's truckies have been known to adopt a dreamy, faraway stare at its very mention.
Into planes as well as automobiles? The Technik Museum in nearby Speyer is pretty easy to find, as there's a 747 welded to a big pole above the gate. Not a replica, an actual Jumbo Jet. They've got an Antonov-22, a U-boat, lots of fighter jets like the F-15 and the Phantom, and a genuine been-there-and-back Russian space shuttle.
Like your technology a bit more folksy? Then check out the world's biggest cuckoo clock! Clock fetishists and bird watchers unite with this six-tonne ornithological timepiece, which has to be seen to be believed, and what better reason to indulge in a scenic two-hour drive through the forests to the village of Schonach? Five years in the making, this monstrous timepiece measures four metres across and is home to a cuckoo weighing 150kg. It pops out every hour on the hour, and scares the locals witless.

Distinguished Service Cross citation
17 Dec 1944 — Elsenborn, Belgium
"The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Walter M. Robertson (0-3378), Major General, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while Commanding the 2d Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces on 17 December 1944, in Belgium. When the initial thrusts of a full-scale German counter offensive threatened the right flank of his division, Major General Robertson, fully aware of the urgency of the situation, personally assumed command of the defense of a vital road junction to delay the enemy long enough for his troops to take up defensive positions. Within an hour the first hostile tanks appeared 600 yards away and were immediately taken under fire on Major General Robertson's orders. Braving intense artillery and direct tank fire, he remained in complete observation of the enemy to supervise the disposition of his troops and to direct the fire of his own tanks and tank destroyers. After two hours of vicious fighting, many German tanks and vehicles were destroyed and the armored thrust in this sector was thwarted. As reinforcements arrived, Major General Robertson proceeded immediately to a second critical area where another salient was threatening two villages along the main route of the enemy advance. He organized troops from his own command and stragglers from elements overrun by the powerful attack and, for a period of seven hours, heroically led them in deterring the advance. Constantly exposed to intense fire from tanks, machine guns and small arms, Major General Robertson, by his personal direction and his calm and collected demeanor, successfully rallied his men to hold their ground tenaciously. His presence among the foremost elements of his command, his exemplary courage and his self-assurance were primarily responsible for knitting the scattered troops into a cohesive fighting force and checking the forward drive of the enemy spearhead. Major General Robertson's gallant leadership, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, the 2d Infantry Division, and the United States Army."

So glad I bought this
By SW
from New Haven, CT
I am very glad I purchased this item. It is an ingenious design and truly makes great use of wasted space. It was a quick installation utilizing the door hinges. I was able to store a large number of things and the shelves are adjustable. Despite the instructions to have this be a 2-person job, I was able to easily install it alone. What is not so great is that the instructions for installation appeared to be for a slightly different cabinet- or maybe a previous model, so I spent some time looking for equipment I didn't really need to have. Some of the steps to install were unnecessary because the cabinet was pre-configured. The only other quibble is that there is a small crack in the cabinet where two pieces of wood are joined. The cabinet is warranteed, but I was not interested in trying to re-package and ship it back in order to get a new one. It is not a display piece and functions fine. However, if this would bother you aesthetically, I would suggest extra care in removing it from the box and saving the styrofoam packing in case you need to return it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Turns useless space into pricelessness
By OH Gal
from Cincinnati, OH
I purchased this to attach to the outside of my pantry door which is only half the size of a standard door. (The engineerial minds know where this is going...) Well, because my door is narrower, the doorknob is in the way of actuallying closing it and latching it to the door. Before I went and got a smaller knob, I just tried keeping it open since the pantry door was adjacent to a corner and there was a wall just slightly larger than this cabinet. It just fits there perfectly that there are no plans on the immediate horizon to get a new knob in order to close it. I was able to move enough food to the cabinet that my counters are cleaner and I have extra space now in my cupboard. I love turning useless space into storage! (As an aside, since this food is now visible and displayed beautifully, I have actually been eating it instead of thinking "Oh, I have nothing to eat.")
Back of door cabinet rave
By Grammy

Using for spices. Makes easy to see and organize. Would be great to be able to purchase additional shelves. Magnet was too strong so using Velcro. Very easy to install.

You may have only recently started recognizing Lizzy Caplan when you see her. She's quite the chameleon: The free-spirited and somewhat questionable Amy on True Blood? That was Lizzy. The ill-fated Marlena in Cloverfield? That was Lizzy, too. Aron Ralston's sister Sonja in 127 Hours? Lizzy. Casey Klein on Party Down? Lizzy again. Gena in Bachelorette? You guessed it—Lizzy.
But though she's just becoming a name to recognize now, she's steadily been building a career for herself for years. Now, in the hotly anticipated Showtime drama Masters of Sex, she takes center stage as sex pioneer Virginia Johnson with Michael Sheen as Dr. William Masters at her side—and we can't wait! Check out the trailer here:
Masters of Sex premieres on Showtime this Sunday, so In honor of the occasion, here's a crash course in everything you need to know about Lizzy.

Obviously, this title is a joke, the way I wish articles claiming the addition of David Wright to the lineup will prove hurtful were. But you may have noticed, in all the ridiculousness that has been Jose Reyes's triples, stolen bases, multi-claw games, etc., one thing missing:
The slow trot around the bases.
Indeed, Reyes hit 19 home runs in 2006, 12 in 2007, 16 in 2008, and 11 in 2010. This season? Just three. That puts him on pace for six, which would be his lowest total in any full season- even in 2005, he hit 7.
To be clear, this isn't a complaint, or a suggestion that Jose Reyes should change anything he is doing. Obviously. (Though apparently some people think David Wright is not a worthwhile addition. So I guess it is good that I'm making this point explicit.)
But it does suggest that in this way, Jose Reyes's second half could be even better. Or more likely, that home runs will offset some losses as he regresses to the mean on batting average on balls in play.
Put simply: Reyes is hitting just as many fly balls as he did in any of his double-figure home run seasons. In fact, he hit 33.9% of his balls in play in the air in 2006, when he hit 19 home runs, and 38.9 percent in the air this year. So it isn't a lack of fly balls.
Even better, his infield fly balls are actually down- in other words, fewer pop ups mean that more of his fly balls are traveling to the outfield, the gateway drug to leaving the park.
So what is the problem? Just 2.5 percent of his fly balls are leaving the yard. 2.5%. His career rate is 5.9%, and he's been as high as 10.2% back in 2006 (hence, the fewer fly balls/more home runs thing).
Now, he may not return to his 2006 career high HR/FB rate, but he's unlikely to remain this low. Reyes does have power, after all, and HR/FB tends to fluctuate pretty significantly.
His batting average on balls in play this year is .372, with a career mark of .314. So the smart money is on a regression in batting average. However, if he improves the home run numbers at the same time, you'll have a second half awfully similar in production to the first half.
And if there's any justice in the world, that'll mean the Mets' first MVP award, too.

Pre edit of course. I'm going to clean up the bottom of those titties before the client gets it.
could you elaborate? hah
i think selective color was considered cool at one point, but now every p&s does it (and hence every 13 year old girl trying to be "artsy") so its kinda played.
i guess its considered to be in the same category as using shitty photoshop filters, except maybe not as bad.
i admire chris weeks more for his philosophy. his shots are good but have never really motivated/inspired me like the work of other photographers have. "documenting the human condition" and that pdf he wrote are what got me.
and while im talking the font/letter color on the new setup hurts my eyeballs

Update, June 20, 2013: Phillips was arrested early Thursday.
MARYSVILLE — Detectives with the Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force have busted up a chop shop that was operating in the Lake Goodwin area.
They've arrested one suspect and are asking for the public's help finding another, sheriff's Lt. Jeff Brand said Wednesday. Police believe the two men could be responsible for more than 30 vehicle thefts in the Everett and Marysville areas.
Arrested was a Marysville man, 30. Police now are looking for James L. Phillips, 30. Phillips is believed to be homeless.
Anyone who sees him or has information about his whereabouts should call 911. People should not approach him.
The investigation started about three months ago, Brand said. The pair also are believed to be linked to burglaries in the area.

Box score
LEWISBURG, Pa. - Sophomore attackman Todd Heritage (Cheshire, Conn./Cheshire) tied a Bucknell record with eight goals to lift the Bison to their second straight win, 14-10 over Hobart on Saturday afternoon at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Bucknell continued its strong offensive start to the 2012 season and improved to 2-3, while the Statesmen fell to 1-3.
Heritage was the driving force behind Bucknell's seven-goal second quarter that broke open a close game. He was responsible for five straight Bison goals, the last of which snapped a 5-5 tie and gave Bucknell the lead for good with 6:46 left in the period. Billy Eisenreich (Chatham, N.J./Chatham), Nick Gantsoudes (Redding, Conn./Avon Old Farms) and Chase Bailey (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep), who all had big scoring days as well, followed with goals for a 4-0 run and a 9-5 Bucknell lead at the half.
The Bison lead by as many as six at 13-7 and 14-8 in the fourth quarter before the Statesmen made things interesting with a couple of goals in the final two minutes.
Hobart scored the game's first two goals before Gantsoudes finally got the Bison on the board with a lefthanded runner with 2:27 left in the opening period. Just 45 seconds later, Billy Mattimore (Tiburon, Calif./St. Ignatius Prep) fed Heritage for the equalizer. Jake McHenry scored Hobart's second EMO goal of the quarter with 18 seconds left, but a pair of nearly identical Bailey-to-Heritage plays early in the second quarter gave Bucknell the lead for the first time. The game would be tied twice more before Bucknell pulled away in the final seven minutes of the half.
Heritage had eight goals coming into the game, and he doubled that total with a career performance on Saturday. Heritage did well to get himself open around the crease, and he finished eight times on nine shot attempts. Only one of his goals was unassisted, and that was the record-tying tally with 3:20 left in the game when he punched in a rebound of a saved shot.
Heritage is the third player in program history to score eight goals in a game. Jim Ball scored eight against Penn State in 1979, and then Ryan Klipstein equaled that mark against Lafayette in 2010. The eight goals also ties a Patriot League record.
Gantsoudes added three goals, Bailey had two goals and three assists, and Eisenreich tallied a goal and three assists. Eisenreich was inches away from an even better day, but three of his shots hit the goal pipe.
Taylor Vanderbeek scored four goals and Cam Stone dished out six assists to lead Hobart.
Bison goalie Kyle Feeney (Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) had another good day with 13 saves with eight goals against. Feeney was especially sharp in the third quarter, when he made six saves, including three on one possession.
It was a fairly clean game for the Bison, as they committed only four turnovers in the first half and 14 total. Hobart had 17 miscues. The Statesmen outshot Bucknell 40-33, including 23-10 in the second half as the Bison tried to protect its lead.
Bucknell freshman Joe Kearney (Mahwah, N.J./Mahwah) fared well in his debut at the faceoff X, winning 10 of 20. The Bison won the ground ball battle 28-20 as head coach Frank Fedorjaka improved to 5-2 against his alma mater.
Bucknell now has 59 goals in five games this season for an average of 11.8 per game. The Bison scored 14 goals last week against Navy as well as against Hobart, and they have at least nine in every game so far.
The Bison travel to Drexel on Tuesday for a 4 p.m. game before returning home next Saturday to face Lafayette at 3 p.m.

A rising111 barometer, on the other hand, is usually an indication of the fine weather associated with an anticyclone.
During the year the anticyclone furnishes us with about sixty per cent.
And curiously enough, although the anticyclone loads half a ton excess weight upon us we like it.
So it is well to be able to recognize an anticyclone when one appears.
Then as the cooling influence of the anticyclone approaches the rain recommences.
It has knocked the anticyclone on the flank, taken the teeth out of the gale.
In winter when the intensity of all the atmospheric activities is greatly increased, the anticyclone develops into the cold wave.
Something of the laws of cyclone and anticyclone are known, and rude weather predictions across the Atlantic are roughly possible.
But an anticyclone in the springtime is the opening of a door into paradise.
anticyclone, a phenomenon presenting some features opposite to those of a cyclone.
A large-scale system of winds that spiral outward around a region of high atmospheric pressure. In the Northern Hemisphere the wind in an anticyclone moves clockwise, and in the Southern Hemisphere it moves counterclockwise. Compare cyclone.
