This handheld cordless vacuum has a telescoping nozzle that lets one capture bugs without getting too close to them. Flies, bees, spiders, and other insects are suctioned by a 22,400-rpm motor, sending the bug through a one-way trap door in the extension tube. An electric grid in the unit's handle stuns the pest without the use of toxic chemicals or vacuum bags that can serve as breeding grounds. The extension tube removes so that stunned bugs can be dumped outdoors, shutting off the electric grid in the process to protect curious fingers from electrical shocks or burns. The lightweight plastic design allows complete control while pursuing unwanted pests and the flexible suction cup compresses to fit in tight corners. Included charging stand plugs into AC; a red LED on the unit indicates battery life. 23 1/2-29" L x 5" W x 5" H. (2 1/4 lbs.)

This is THE WORST product ever !!!
By ElkhornCreek
from Frankfort, KY
Best Uses
Product only works on large flat surfaces, not in window sills, corners of windows, edge of countertops, on drapes, etc... In other words, it does not work where the insects are. Suction is very weak. It should be redesigned with a powerful suction and a nozzel-type end. A total waste of money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We keep our Bug Vacuum in our RV
By Marnie
from Fresno,, CA
We mainly use the Bug Vacuum in our RV -- while traveling we seem to encounter more insects than we do at home. We gave it as a birthday gift to a friend who keeps it at home next to his chair. Just ordered a new one as the battery gave out. It was hardwired so we couldn't replace it ouselves. That is the only "con" we can come up with.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This product was a disappointment.
By ELF
from Anderson, IN
Bug Vacuum did not function as advertised. Bugs lived on for a couple days even though I charged it for 24 hrs. before use as directed. Not only so, but it was much bulkier than I expected. Previous product/s worked well, but I was disappointed in this order and thus returned it.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: While we regret that this product didn't delight you, we are gratified that you took advantage of our unconditional Lifetime Guarantee. Although our goal is your complete satisfaction with every product, we understand you may encounter the rare occasion when an item doesn't meet your expectations. That is why we make it easy to return an item—simply call our customer service team at 1-800-321-1484 any time day or night.
Bought this to catch stink bugs
By Mr Wood
from Port Vue Pennsylvania
I was able to catch stink bugs but the zapper wasn't strong enough to kill the stink bugs. Works great on all other kind of smaller bugs and spiders.

Preserving the Past...Ensuring the Future
Saturday, December 10, 2011
"The Sugar Bowl is a true monument to success, having withstood the test of time and circumstance to become part of the very fabric of New Orleans and Louisiana, The economic impact in the form of tourism spending and tax dollars generated is such a key asset to the entire region; and in addition, each year it brings the national spotlight to our city and state to showcase their virtues to an audience of millions. And the Sugar Bowl is not just a football game; it also aids the community with its support of different programs held throughout the year."
The Allstate Sugar Bowl ranks as one of the most uniquely successful amateur athletic achievements in the history of American sports. Born in the depths of the Great Depression and continuing through a World War and multiple devastating hurricanes, it has not only survived, but thrived. It is now recognized as one of the premier college sports events in the country despite being based in a relatively small city (No. 52 DMA) with limited corporate backing (New Orleans is home to just one Fortune 500 company). But the key to the group has been its 100-plus volunteer members who remain respectful of the past while being focused on the future, both for the organization and for New Orleans and Louisiana.

ATLANTA -- DS Waters of America Inc. has opened a coffee equipment refurbishment center at its New Orleans branch, a year after acquiring nationwide water and coffee service company The Standard Cos. a year ago. | SEE STORY
DS Waters said it designed the facility to create greater flow and efficiencies of the refurbishment process across a wider number of SKUs. New machinery and advanced tooling equipment will improve the remanufacturing process of brewed beverage equipment, according to the company.
DS Waters said 24 associates have joined the 31 employees who recently relocated to the service center, bringing the New Orleans team to a total of 150 associates at this branch. The remanufacturing team is led by Glenn Blackwell, a 32-year veteran of Standard.
"Integrating the remanufacturing team with our other brewed beverage, water filtration and bottled water teams makes sense financially and brings everyone together," states Tom Harrington, president and chief executive of DS Waters.
Separately, DS Waters announced that it has acquired K&K Bottled Water Co. in Sulphur, LA. Customers in the city of Lake Charles and surrounding parishes can now order office coffee and other allied products along with their water delivery. They can also manage their account and delivery schedule online.
K&K Enterprises will continue to offer water-softening services from its Jennings, LA, office.
DS Waters, headquartered in Atlanta, delivers bottled water to more than 1 million home, office and retail locations in the U.S. Its brands include Alhambra, Belmont Springs, Crystal Springs, Mount Olympus, Sierra Springs and Sparkletts.

Beyonce & Kelly Rowland crash fans' karaoke party
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio | Listen to Kelly Rowland on iHeartRadio
A group of young women in Miami saw their wildest dreams come true on Tuesday night when Beyonce and Kelly Rowland crashed their private karaoke party.
Night club Sing Sing Karaoke posted a photo to its Facebook page showing the former Destiny's Child members entering a cramped karaoke room where two girls were in the middle of belting out Bey's song "Party."
"E! News" reports that Beyonce and Kelly happened to be in the room next door when they overheard the ladies having a blast and decided to surprise them. The club also posted a photo of the fans posing with Beyonce and Kelly at the end of the memorable night.

Mines professor leads study for DOE Energy Materials Project
GOLDEN, Colo., March 16, 2011 – Colorado School of Mines Professor Brajendra Mishra has been chosen to lead a major study focused on materials that can transform developing energy technologies into clean, affordable and widespread options supporting new manufacturing opportunities and job creation.
For example, Mishra's team will focus on accelerating the development and manufacture of such innovations as cheaper solar cell materials that can convert more light into useful energy, and membrane technologies that can make carbon separation and capture processes more affordable and practical.
The study is one of five initiated by The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS) on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy Industrial Technologies Program. A report consolidating recommendations will be published in September 2011.
Mishra, professor and director of the Center for Resource Recovery & Recycling at Mines, will lead an Innovation Impact Team charged with developing strategic research plans for a select group of surface technologies. Special coatings and surfaces are routinely used to protect equipment and extend service life. However, emerging materials technologies will enable surfaces to play a key role in enhancing the functioning and efficiency of next-generation energy systems. Mishra will help set specific performance goals for these technologies and outline strategies that will enable these goals to be met within five to 10 years.

'Bernier's first game as a Buffalo Sabre was spellbinding. The big right winger scored on his second shift. When he scored again on his fifth, the sellout crowd was ready to anoint him captain. When his on-the-tape pass to Derek Roy resulted in another goal, people were ready to clear space in the rafters next to the names of LaFontaine, Gare and Perreault.'

Please wait while you are redirected.
Twenty years ago, three graduates of the Class of 1992 set off into the world with their MBAs. Today, Lee Boothby, Caroline (Caskey) Goodner and Dan Friedkin look back over the past 20 years to share their perspectives on careers, leadership, inspiration and experiences with the Jones School.What were you doing before you got your MBA?LB: I was working as a petroleum engineer. My initial job was with Tenneco Oil Company in Lafayette, Louisiana.CG: I spent one year working for Pepsi in Phoenix and learned I didn't want to work for a large company!DF: I was very involved in our family companies and spent most of my time developing and formalizing a strategic planning process for our businesses.Why did you decide to pursue your MBA?LB: The company I was working for (Tenneco Oil Company) was sold by its parent company. I chose to pursue my MBA to broaden my business foundation and learn new skill sets in the hope of providing new career options and alternatives. I had interest in pursuing corporate leadership roles and felt that having an MBA would improve my chances.CG: I felt I lacked any real business training from my liberal arts education at Duke, and wanted to learn more about all areas of business since I went to Rice only a couple of years out of undergrad. I wasn't certain what I wanted to do yet and hoped that I'd find some direction at Rice. I wasn't disappointed.DF: My undergrad exposure to case study and real world business situations was limited. There's just not enough time to cover all the base undergrad classes and have enough exposure to the things I felt I needed to know. I knew I would get much more exposure to classes that have practical application with an MBA.Why Rice University?LB: I wanted to get an MBA from a top flight academic institution whose professors and students represented the "best of the best" and could compare favorably with any of the top institutions in the country. Rice represented exactly the type of opportunity and environment I was seeking. Additionally, I had accepted a job with British Gas in Houston and was very much interested in pursuing the Flex-Time MBA Program then being offered at Rice. When I was accepted into the Flex-Time MBA Program later that year, it allowed me the opportunity to both work full time and go to school full time while pursuing my MBA. This proved to be a strong positive for me and my family and Rice was by then the obvious choice on multiple important criteria.Which skills gained from your time at the Jones School do you still use today?LB: The most important skills that I learned and developed at the Jones School were in the areas of leadership, effective communication and organizational behavior theory — the psychology of organizations. Leadership and communication skills are critical in business and there is not a day that goes by that I do not draw upon experience and education gained in these two important areas. However, the most important skill set and learning from my time at the Jones School was definitely organizational behavior theory. This was something I knew absolutely nothing about prior to my enrollment in the Jones School and has been a very significant "difference maker" for me in my career each and every step along the way from graduation to the present day.CG: A love for entrepreneurship. It was my first exposure to creating a business plan, and learning how to write the essential components of a business plan is critical for raising money, demonstrating you understand what it will take to make a business successful, and communicating that you have the right ingredients. And though I was a mediocre student in accounting at Rice, I actually learned a lot. Accounting has never been my strong suit in practice, but now I look back on the foundation I got at Rice and realize that I would have been very lost in my professional life without it.DF: The case study courses I took are the ones that stand out most. They helped me develop a feel for how to approach a unique set of variables. There's not often one "right answer," but those classes helped me learn to organize my experiences to formulate better solutions.What do you think is unique about the Rice MBA and the school in general?LB: The caliber of the students and faculty is second to none and thus extremely competitive both nationally and internationally today. The esprit de corps displayed within the student body, visible teamwork, the top flight leadership skills acquired and developed, and vibrant professionalism are infectious while providing a strong and unified foundation on which to build a career. The facilities are first class and the relatively small class sizes provide a level of familiarity and intimacy that would be difficult to replicate in almost any other institution.CG: Rice was one of the first schools to adopt the ALP (Action Learning Project), which pairs students with real companies with real projects. It came to be after I had left Rice, but I thoroughly enjoyed working with ALP students for about six years during my Identigene days (the company I founded). We got several really helpful projects completed through that program, and I was able to see how the students just kept getting better and better each year.
What was one of your biggest challenges while earning your MBA, and how do you see that today?LB: One of my biggest challenges while earning my MBA was the ongoing effort to balance the academic demands of the program with the professional demands of my job and the personal demands of my family. When I received my diploma, my wife said to me, "If we survived this, we can survive anything." That was an accurate statement on that spring day back in 1992, and we have put it to the test on many occasions in the years since as my career has taken the inevitable twists and turns along the way. It is critically important to have a sense of balance in your life and it is something that I am still struggling with and working on today.DF: The biggest challenge for me was juggling the MBA program with a full time job and starting a family. It was good to go through that experience and learn a bit of time management!
How has the Jones School changed since you were a student?CG: Students are more diversified, class size is larger, facilities are newer, and there is a heavier focus on entrepreneurship, which I personally applaud. The Rice Business Plan Competition is the best in the world. It attracts students from other highly ranked schools, which has raised national and international awareness of Rice far higher than when I went there. When I was there, more students concentrated in finance, accounting, and were geared towards careers in larger companies. Accreditation was accomplished in a short time period, and though Rice has always been a great school, accreditation is important for national comparisons.DF: I think the Jones School has great standing as a national business school and has really grown in positive ways with infrastructure and quality of professors. Although we had a good taste of things to come, it's a much more developed business school. I'm very impressed with the way it's grown.What inspires you?LB: I am inspired by the challenge of pursuing great achievements on an organizational scale in an environment where the achievement of the "team" eclipses anything that we could ever accomplish as individuals. It is important to follow your heart, to be passionate and enthusiastic and to "dare greatly" when the opportunities present themselves along
the way.CG: In business: successful growth companies and leaders who are respected and admired by their employees. In life: people who balance their personal lives and professional lives in a way that allows them to enjoy every day. My husband does all this — he's a great person to emulate!DF: I'm inspired by many things, but our kids and their development is a great motivation for me and my wife Debra. I love to fly and spend a lot of time doing that, and it inspires me and allows me to clear my head and think about how to deal with challenges.What are some important leadership lessons you've learned along the way?LB: The most important lesson, in my opinion, is that you must be an authentic leader — a leader who operates from a position of honesty, integrity, trust and character. There is only one road in life that is worth taking — the high road. The best test of character is "doing the right thing when nobody is looking." Surround yourself with talented people of high integrity and character and you will go far.CG: Everything is about people. Hiring well and appreciating the people you work with. I try to give people freedom, autonomy, and tools to improve themselves. It's not always easy to do that in a small company, but it's important to care about people's development. The people I hope to work with are people that always want to grow and learn.DF: I think failure in various business decisions along the way has taught me more than anything. Fairness and staying close to your values and never compromising them are essential. I learn all the time from everyone around me.
What gets you excited about going to work?LB: I get up each and every day excited about going to work and facing the challenges ahead. The most significant factor in maintaining that level of excitement is a genuine love and appreciation for the talented men and women whom I am privileged to work with each and every day. Life is too short to work in an environment that doesn't excite you and keep your spirit young!!CG: Right now in the consumer products company I work for, seeing the marketplace reaction to something new, whether it's a new product or a new marketing campaign. As much research as we do, it's never clear until you're in market what will work. In my previous work, there was substantial satisfaction in making a life-changing difference to the customers we helped through DNA testing.DF: Being involved with great people and working with them to build our business.What are some words of wisdom for our current students and younger alumni?LB: Always follow your heart and do things that you are passionate about and that bring you joy and success will always follow. Study both the successes and failures of others to help refine your judgment skills and always maintain an introspective and honest self-portrait as your career unfolds. The opportunities to "dare greatly" will come your way during the course of your career…don't be afraid to take a chance and pursue your dreams when they present themselves. Good luck in all that you pursue.CG: Enjoy what you do, and treat people (including yourself) well. Life is short: be happy.DF: Don't be afraid to make mistakes and keep trying. It's generally not the mistake that matters; it's how you recover from it and redirect that leads to success. Gather input and information and then be decisive. Keep trying always. Everyone has it in them to be successful if they try hard. Your integrity is the only thing you can control.

The Lakers' soap opera becomes a dizzying blur, so it's forgivable if these incidents seem hazy.
Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol looked frustrated over the endless physical play. The Lakers looked frustrated with the Princeton offense, period. In a video that instantly went viral, Kobe Bryant personified his anger with an infamous glare many believed was directed toward former coach Mike Brown.
The Lakers fired Brown two days later.
An energetic Utah Jazz team last month helped contribute to much anxiety among the Lakers faithful. When it came to providing an encore, the Lakers' 117-110 loss to the Jazz on Sunday at Staples Center created other problems.
The Lakers (9-12) haven't looked like championship material for a while. But the latest loss further cemented that appearance with an 11 th-place standing in the Western Conference, hardly the place they want to be once the postseason starts in April. They wouldn't be invited.
"The playoffs never start in December," Lakers center Dwight Howard said. "It's not scary. We will get there."
The Lakers didn't take that step against Utah.
The Jazz struck first, scoring the game's first eight points. Utah's 60-51 halftime lead featured a second quarter in which Enes Kanter met no resistance inside (eight second-quarter points) and the Lakers made DeMarre Carroll look like an All-Star (eight second-quarter points).
The Lakers sliced the lead enough for an 88-85 deficit entering the third quarter. They also rallied with a 17-9 run late in the fourth quarter to make the score respectable.
But the effort didn't change the outcome.
"I have to take responsibility to get them to play hard," Lakers coach D'Antoni said. "I have a bad knee and have a hard time getting up and down. But it's my responsibility to get them to the mentality where they're playing hard."
That didn't happen, resulting in the Lakers' fourth loss in five games. The Lakers also have dropped four consecutive games to the Jazz dating to last season.
Utah's Paul Millsap (24 points), Mo Williams (22 points), Kanter (14), Gordon Hayward (14), Al Jefferson (14), and Carroll (14) had no problem scoring.
Bryant still scored his points (34), but they came on 9-of-23 shooting. Howard hardly looked like Superman in posting 11 points on 10 field-goal attempts. Antawn Jamison hardly campaigned well for a permanent starting position with three points on 1-of-7 shooting.
Still, there were highlights.
Jordan Hill (17 points, nine rebounds) proved he can play in D'Antoni's system. Jodie Meeks' 16 points with a 3-of-6 mark from 3-point range represented the third consecutive game he shot above 50 percent from behind the arc. Metta World Peace (12 points) showed a strong touch.
Even if the Lakers are clamoring for Steve Nash's return, Chris Duhon's 12 points and 11 assists at starting point guard somewhat mitigated the absence.
But those efforts pale to the reality the Lakers face.
They suddenly have to figure out how to improve their 2-6 road record with a six-game trip this week, including stops in Cleveland (Tuesday), New York (Thursday), Washington (Friday) and Philadelphia (Sunday).
"We're not even close to where we should be," D"Antoni said. "We haven't scratched the surface yet."

Last year, Christian apologist Josh McDowell made a remarkable claim about the Internet, stating that "the abundance of knowledge, the abundance of information, will not lead to certainty; it will lead to pervasive skepticism... the Internet has leveled the playing field [giving equal access to skeptics]."
He said that like it was a bad thing.
It's not hard to see why McDowell is afraid, though. Open access to knowledge -- the ability to fact check your pastors and imams and rabbis -- is a death knell for religion as we know it, and the Internet is only hastening the process. (I focus on Christianity in this piece because it has the largest Web presence in the United States.)
It wasn't long ago when statements made in a pulpit were simply assumed to be true. Now, a child with an iPhone in the pew can find ample evidence contradicting whatever the men of God are saying. That "true story" your pastor is telling? Snopes.com debunked it long ago. Gay marriage is destructive, he says? Thousands of YouTube videos made by gays and lesbians in love -- as well as other Christians -- can attest otherwise. Evolution is a liberal conspiracy? TalkOrigins.org will show you how to respond to every argument on the Creationist side. Abstinence-only sex education is working? Not according to the new scientific study you just read.
It's not only the abundance of information creating nightmares for church leaders. It's the simple fact that, with a lack of physical buildings in which to meet, atheists tend to congregate online. Until the Internet came along, we didn't have a space where we could talk about our (lack of) religious beliefs but between blogs, podcasts, and social media sites, atheists have thrived in the age of the Internet.
All the evidence -- and quite a bit of the commentary you read online -- is in our favor and, unless a church forces members to exist in complete isolation from the rest of society, it's inevitable that they're going to be exposed to the evidence contradicting their own beliefs one way or the other.

Law students serving in key student ABA positions
Six University of South Carolina School of Law students are serving in key positions with the American Bar Association Law Student Division, the largest USC representation in ABA history.
Representing the school in positions of national authority are Tonnya Kennedy-Kohn of Murfreesboro, Tenn.; Tommy Preston of Clemson; Eric Cavanaugh of Columbia; and Taylor Denslow of Norfolk, Va. Holding regional positions are Sheila Abron of Sumter and Lauren Acquaviva of Holmdel, N.J.
Kennedy-Kohn, a third-year student, is student editor of the ABA Law Student Division's magazine, Student Lawyer, which reaches more than 43,000 law students across the country. She earned her bachelor's degree from Vanderbilt University and master's degree in journalism from Murray State University. Kennedy-Kohn is former managing editor at The State newspaper in Columbia and former editor of the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va., the Lexington Herald-Leader in Lexington, Ky., and the Nashville Banner in Nashville, Tenn.
Preston, a third-year student, was elected student representative on the ABA Board of Governors and is the first African American to serve in this post. He is responsible for voicing the concerns of ABA law student members on this board. Preston also is student liaison on the ABA's Task Force on the Preservation of Justice, the Commission on Civics Education and the Council for Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Educational Pipeline. A native of Clemson and a USC graduate, Preston was president of the USC student body.
Cavanaugh, a third-year student, is one of only three student delegates to the ABA House of Delegates. He is spearheading the Law Student Division's efforts to educate students on the costs of attending law school. He also is responsible for coordinating law student advocacy efforts in Washington, D.C. A native of Columbia, Cavanaugh earned his bachelor's degree in political science and English at USC.
Denslow, a third-year student, was recently appointed to serve as the 2010-11 national project director for the Law Student Division Mental Health Initiative. She will serve as a link between the ABA Law Student Division and law schools around the country and will assist law student leaders in implementing mental health training and prevention programs in law schools. A graduate of Davidson College, Denslow is president of the USC Health Law Society, symposium editor of the South Carolina Law Review and ambassador for the law school.
Abron, a USC graduate and third-year law student, is in her second year as the 4th Circuit executive lieutenant governor, which links the ABA and law students in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.
Acquaviva, a second-year law student, serves as 4th Circuit lieutenant governor for public interest, which oversees programming activities related to community service and public interest. This year's community service efforts focus on civics education. A graduate of Monmouth University, she also is ABA representative for the USC School of Law.
USC alumnus Kevin Johnson ('88) of Greenville, a third-year student at the University of Alabama School of Law, was elected chair of the ABA Law Student Division.
With nearly 400,000 members, the American Bar Association is the largest voluntary professional membership organization in the world. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College men's basketball team pulled to within a point of Catawba late in the second half but eventually fell 85-79 to the Indians in Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.
The Tornados (3-9, 3-5 SAC) engineered a 10-1 run to cut Catawba's lead to 78-77 on a pair of free throws from Darius Moose with 2:15 remaining in the game. The Indians (4-8, 4-4 SAC) responded with a 7-2 run to close the game and hold on for the win.
Trailing 77-67 with 4:28 left in the game, Miles Leathers sparked BC's run with a three-point play before Moose scored the next seven points for BC. The Indians, however, iced the win by going 7-for-8 from the foul line over the final 1:22.
Moose poured in a game-high 32 points for the Tornados, finishing 12-of-19 from the floor and hitting all six of his three throw attempts.
Leathers finished with 15 points while adding four rebounds and a pair of steals. Jake Pifer also tallied 15 points for BC, a season-high for the sophomore transfer.
Six Indians scored in double figures in the win, paced by 18 points from Kijuan Arrington.
The Tornados are on the road on Wednesday as they visit the Holt Fieldhouse for an 8 p.m. tipoff with the Carson-Newman Eagles.

description: Jan. 8, 2014—Researchers studying biofluorescent coral also discovered a shark that reflects certain light, along with a stingray, eel, and other fish. The study, published January 8, used special lighting and camera filters to identify more than 180 species of marine fishes that exhibit biofluorescence.

transcript:
DAVID GRUBER, Associate Professor of Biology, Baruch College - CUNY, National Geographic/Waitt Grantee:
The first fish that we found to be biofluorescent was as a small eel and it was in nighttime. We're diving off of the Bloody Bay Wall in Little Cayman Island. And one of the images, as we're shooting this fluorescent coral, had this eel in it. And we looked at this for a long time trying to figure out, you know, if there was a problem with the camera. And we realized that this fish was indeed fluorescent.
In the process of find it, we started to find, "Wait a minute, here's another fish that's fluorescent, here's another fish. Here's a stingray and that was also fluorescent." So, this just sent us off being like, "Wait a second, this isn't exactly a rare occurrence!"
Then we went to the Solomon Islands in the summer of 2012 and that's where we found the core of our fluorescent fish. This is one of the places with the "coral triangle" which has some of the most abundant marine diversity on the planet.
We started to see that this is something that extends beyond the bony fish and into the cartilaginous fish. Into the rays, maybe it will also be in sharks. So we started to go down, while were in the Solomon Islands, we were trying to get the sharks close enough that we could film them.
And we also went to a series of aquariums and it turns out that some of the smaller sharks-the cat sharks-are brilliantly fluorescent. As bright as some of the brightest fish, as bright as the corals.
When you see the images, when you see it's all over. It's in their eyes, it's on their skin. Um, this is making me think that it is something that's important physiologically for this animal. And we...at this moment we do not know what the function is.
So in order to see the phenomenon of biofluoresence, we use scientific filters and we created this same pure blue, a very tight-notch blue filter. And then that is the light that's always bathing these animals. They live in a blue world. The world is blue all the time. And we did this. We re-created the blue light. But then when we film it, we don't want to see blue light. We just want to see light that is getting absorbed by these animals and is coming back off. So we have a yellow filter that we put in front of our camera lens and that only allows us to see the fluorescence-the reds, the greens-that are coming off the animal.
So what's next? Can the fish see this? Is this playing a role in their behavior? I'm really interested at the protein level. We identified over a 180 species in the single paper that has opened up more questions that we're really excited to start digging into.
I just find the real serenity and beauty to being in the reef at night. And now when we add on this kind of fluorescent layer, it's like being on another planet. You know, you're on some surreal Martian landscape.

Media largely ignore report that Prince Abdullah delegation member was denied U.S. visa, appeared on U.S. government no-fly list
A member of the delegation of Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, who met with President Bush at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, on April 25, was denied entry to the United States after the delegation member's name appeared on a national watch list for alleged terrorists, according to reports by The Dallas Morning News and the Agence France-Presse (AFP) wire service. But the issue has received virtually no attention in print and television news coverage since AFP first reported it, and no reporters asked about it during Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's press briefing in Crawford or White House press secretary Scott McClellan's press gaggle on Air Force One following the meeting.
AFP first reported [1] on April 25 that one of Prince Abdullah's delegation was denied a visa to visit the United States when the delegation member's name appeared on a government no-fly list:
A member of Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz's delegation was denied entry into the United States after authorities found he was on a government "watch" list, a US official said Monday.
The US Department of Homeland Security, in a routine check of the delegation passenger manifest, found that one traveller was on a government list meant to screen out possible terrorists, the official said on condition of anonymity.
"This information was shared with our interagency partners, including the State Department," the official said. "My understanding is that the State Department denied that person a visa and so they did not enter the country."
The Dallas Morning News confirmed the AFP story in an April 27 article [2] (registration required), which also reported an administration official saying, "We're not going to discuss the individual because the information is classified."
Host Amy Goodman also mentioned the AFP story on the April 26 broadcast [3] of the syndicated radio program Democracy Now!
But a review of print and television news reports by Media Matters for America indicates that the U.S. media have otherwise overlooked the story. A search of the Nexis news database* reveals no coverage of the incident other than a reference to the AFP story in the Bulletin News Network's Bulletin Frontrunner [4] on April 27. A review of evening news shows on the major television networks found no stories on the subject since it was first reported by AFP.
The incident was also not raised in the April 25 press briefing [5] on Bush's visit with Abdullah by Rice and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, even after Rice noted that Bush and Abdullah had "spent a lot of time on the terrorism issue." Additionally, McClellan did not address the incident in his April 26 press gaggle [6] aboard Air Force One.
* Searches of the terms "Abdullah and list" and "Saudi! and no-fly" over the past week.

PHILADELPHIA – The time has finally arrived. The University of Pennsylvania field hockey team hosts its first two games on its new Astroturf field, the Ellen Vagelos Field. The Quakers host Ivy League foe Cornell on Saturday, before Pacific University comes calling on Sunday. Both matches are scheduled to start at noon.
Directions to Ellen Vagelos Field!
Click here for live video of this weekend's games!
Click here for live stats of this weekend's games!
The Series with Cornell
The Quakers lead the series, 21-13-2, but the Big Red have won six of the last eight meetings. That includes last year in Ithaca, when Cornell scored all of its goals in the first half en route to a 4-0 victory. Penn won two years ago here in Philadelphia, 1-0. The Red and Blue are 11-5-1 all-time at home against Cornell; all of those games, of course, came on Franklin Field.
About Cornell
The Big Red (2-2) have won two in a row. Hannah Balleza -- who is third on Cornell's all-time list with 33 goals, and was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy pick last year -- has three goals along with Katherine Stone and Georgia Lord. Katy Weeks has three points (1g, 1a). At the other end, Carolyn Homer was a first-team All-Ivy pick a year ago; she has a 1.90 goals-against average and a .742 save percentage. Sophomore Marisa Siergiej was a second-team All-Ivy selection last year.
The Series with Pacific
The Quakers and the Tigers are meeting for the third time, but the first time since 2000. Penn won the first two matchups, taking a 5-1 decision over Pacific in 1998 here in Philadelphia, then beat the Tigers 4-0 two years later in a neutral-site matchup.
About Pacific
Under head coach Andy Smith, a former assistant coach at Ivy rival Dartmouth, the Tigers (0-4) are embarking on an ambitious trip to Philadelphia. In fact, their game with Penn will be the fourth in four days -- prior to that, they play Thursday at Saint Joseph's, Friday at La Salle, and Saturday against Saint Francis (Pa.). Emily Traegoning has three points to lead Pacific (1g, 1a), while Katharine Egan, Maggie Grindatti, Nicole Laskosky and Melissa Maultsby have also scored.
About Penn
*After losing three straight season openers from 2009-11, Penn has now won its season opener each of the last two years.
*The Quakers scored 10 goals in their first two games, with five against Lehigh and another five at Saint Joseph's. The last time Penn had 10 goals after two games? Try 1989 (4-0 win at Villanova, 6-0 win against Cornell).
*The goal scoring should not come as a surprise, since Penn tied the program record for goals in a season last year with 42.
*Freshman Jasmine Cole recorded a hat trick in Friday's win at Saint Joseph's, giving her four goals so far this season which leads the Quakers. Another freshman, Elise Tilton, has scored in every game this season and has three goals which is second.
*What was good to see in Penn's season opener at Lehigh was five different women scoring the five goals.
*Junior Emily Corcoran had a goal and an assist in Penn's season opener, then added another goal last Friday at Saint Joseph's. She is third on the team with her five points.
*Senior Julie Tahan and sophomore Elizabeth Hitti have three points each, with a goal and an assist. Hitti's goal, of course, was a big one -- it came after the clock had expired, off a Penn penalty corner, and gave the Quakers the 5-4 victory at Lehigh.
*Carly Sokach has played every minute in goal this season; she was simply magnificent at Bucknell on Sunday, making 11 saves to keep Penn in the game (the Quakers lost to the Bison, 2-1). Sokach has a 2.67 goals-against average and a .733 save percentage.
*Tahan and junior defender MaryRose Croddick were second-team All-Ivy players a year ago; both are back this season. Hitti, meanwhile, received honorable mention despite being a freshman. The team also welcomes back junior Alex Iqbal, who was an All-Ivy honoree in 2011 as a freshman but missed all of last year due to injury.
*Tahan and Iqbal, who had five shots apiece in last weekend's win, are this year's captains. In addition to Tahan, the other seniors are Amelia Cohen, Katie Harrington and Sunny Stirewalt.
Up Next...
Penn is home for a third straight time on Wednesday, hosting city foe La Salle at 4 p.m. On Saturday, the Quakers are at Harvard for their second Ivy League game of the season.

Antibody titerTiter - antibodies; Serum antibodies
Antibody titer is a laboratory test that measures thelevel of antibodies in ablood sample.
The antibody level in the blood tells your doctor whether or not you have been exposed toan antigen or something that the body thinks is foreign. The body uses antibodies to attack and remove foreign substances.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
In some situations, your health care provider may check your antibody titer to see if you had an infection in the past (for example, chickenpox) or to decide which immunizations you need.
The antibody titer is also used to determine:
- The strength of an immune response to the body's own tissue in diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune disorders
- If you need a booster immunization
- Whether a previous vaccine helped your immune system protect you against the specific disease
- If you have had a recent or past infection such as mononucleosis or viral hepatitis
Normal Results
Normal values depend on the antibody being tested.
If the test is being done to lookfor antibodies against your own body tissues, then the normal value would be zero or negative. In some cases, a normal level is below a certain, specific number.
If the test is being done to see if a vaccine fully protects you against a disease, then the normal result depends on the specific value for that immunization.
Negative antibody tests can help rule out certain infections.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results depend on which antibodies are being measured.
Abnormal results may be due to:
- Autoimmune disease
- Failure of a vaccine to fully protect you against a certain disease
- Immune deficiency
- Viral infections
Veins vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Drones delivering books, nonstop blabbing on his cellphone from the bozo sitting next to you on a long flight, and the iPotty -- you may love technology, but admit it: Some tech advances should never have seen the light of day. They're simply a big pain in the patootie or too dumb for words.
Let's start with some of the most bizarre tech gadgets you could imagine -- all of which are actually for sale.
[ For seriously good, cool gadgets, check out InfoWorld's 2013 geek gadget gift guide. | For quick, smart takes on the news you'll be talking about, check out InfoWorld TechBrief -- subscribe today. ]
No, I'm not kidding about the iPotty
You probably thought I was joking when I mentioned the iPotty. I'm not -- here's a link to Amazon.com that proves your toddler can learn to poop on the potty while exercising the other end of her body on your iPad. It can be yours for a mere $34.98, tablet not included. Aside from the utter stupidity of this idea (think what your kid is likely to smear on the screen), there's a serious point: Why does everything in our lives have to be digital? (Well, two serious points. The other one: Why can't we let our kids be kids?)
Talk about distracted driving. Everyone with a brain knows that texting while driving is insanely dangerous, and using your cellphone without a headset in the car is nearly as bad. But using your laptop while you're at the wheel is somehow just peachy. In fact, now you can write a memo or crunch some numbers or maybe watch a video while barreling down the interstate at 65 mph. Yup, for just $25.39, the AutoExec Wheelmate Steering Wheel Attachable Work Surface Tray can be yours.
There are some really cool, useful wearable fitness devices and apps. But the HapiFork isn't one of them. "The HapiFork, powered by Slow Control, is an electronic fork that helps you monitor and track your eating habits. It also alerts you with the help of indicator lights and gentle vibrations when you are eating too fast." Hey, it costs only $99!
The stupidity doesn't stop with gadgets
Moving right along, let's leave the realm of dopey gadgets and think about tech advances and regulatory changes that should make you cringe.
Here's one that's in the realm of "be careful what you wish for": allowing cellphone use during commercial flights. Sure, it's garnered tons of discussion, and I often thought that the safety issue cited to prohibit it was probably bogus, or at least unproven. But now that the FCC is giving this matter a serious rethink, consider the implications.
Air travel for those of us who can't fly in first class or in a private jet has become miserable: no legroom, not enough space in the overhead, and awful (when it's available) food. But at least we can do some reading or catch up on work. Once cellphone use gets the OK, even the simple pleasure of a couple of distraction-free hours will vanish. People will talk ... and talk ... and talk. They'll do it loudly and incessantly, and they won't care if you're trying to take a nap.

How do kids (especially teenagers) handle news about the parent/patient's condition? Any special help for them?
I believe children always live up to what we expect from them. I believe in being honest with them and answering their questions as fully as possible and giving them as much information as they want to hear. Their minds can conjure up scenarios that can be much worse than actual reality.
That said, they are still NOT adults and we have to temper our responses with that in mind.
I have always tried to be honest with my children about their grandmothers' fight with this monster of a disease. My children are both adults 28 and 22 and they handled it beautifully, but I always tried to be honest about the prognosis and progression of the disease.
Teenagers are hard in that they are no longer little kids but not yet adults. It's hard for them to ask the necessary questions. I would try and have a casual conversation while doing something else. You might want to ask them how they feel about what is going on and ask them if they have any questions they need answered. Don't push but let them know you will always be available to answer whatever they need to ask.
Be honest with how you feel about the disease. Tell them you too are frightened and unsure of how things will go. Promise to be honest with them.
It may be another family member will be helpful. My nephew (26) had a very difficult time with his grandmother's death. He was unable to go to her viewing and the funeral was tough for him. He did not want to see her in a casket. He was a little more comfortable talking to me (his aunt) than he was talking to his mom. He didn't want to upset her.
And most importantly...you know your children better than anyone else. Listen to your heart and "gut" feelings when talking to them. You will know when and what to tell them.
Hospice has some great literature on counseling and dealing with terminal illnesses. Check on their website.
Hang in there....it's part of this journey.
Oh and check my signature line. My son emailed this about a minute after I had responded to his email about his grandmother's prognosis.
Many hugs and much love,
Dr Giles answered a similar question. You might want to read that.
I have no children so I am not even going to attempt to help. Better no advice than bad advice!
Hope you find the right path.
Pam gave a good response.
My youngest was 14 when I was diagnosed, and my other children were 19 and 20.
I have been honest with them from the beginning. I don't think that it really hits home that this is a terminal illness because I don't look sick. But I always share the results of my scans with them.
I guess every family is different, but I think that being up-front about cancer, and letting them share their feelings and fears, has worked out best for my family.
Thanks for such sincere, thoughtful replies. They seem to validate what we've done, but it is so hard to watch our kids suffer because of our own health. My youngest has Aspergers syndrome, which is the high-functioning autistic. He has been a lot like the ostrich--head in sand, don't want to hear about it, if I don't have it in my face, it doesn't exist??? He doesn't handle change very well, though, so I have not been content to pretend nothing has changed. Of course, since he is the youngest of 6, and 4 of them are adult, he hears a lot more than he admits or participates in. And since I am currently in remission, I'm not pushing him on it for now. One of his teachers told us (when he was a freshman, shortly after my diagnosis) that he tried to say school was hard because he was having to do so much at home because "My mom is sick." That was before she quite knew what I had, but I had to tell him that I want his life to be as normal as possible, and most of the increase in his chores had more to do with his own growing up, being in high school, rather than because of my health. Any excuse is better than none, maybe? My other teenage son is very compassionate, but he went through some depression, barely talking to me about it, but being as helpful as he could. At least he wanted to stay involved and we made sure he had people who were informed of my health that he could talk to, at school, at church, and at scouts. He seems to be doing much better, and having a girl friend also seems to help, but I'm also doing much better, so I hope his improvement lasts.
Again, thanks to all!
My kids were 13, 18 and 20 when I was diagnosed. I was very straight forward with them. I think they appreciated knowing what's going on and I still keep them in the loop as to tumor markers and scan results. My youngest didn't talk about his feelings that much. But being a teenage boy -- he still doesn't talk about his feelings that much on many subjects. But he was very considerate with me and always try to help me when I ask for help.

Christina Aguilera records song for 'Hunger Games' soundtrack
Listen to Christina Aguilera on iHeartRadio
Christina Aguilera will be featured on the upcoming soundtrack for "Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
On Wednesday, the singer shared via Twitter that she has recorded a song called "We Remain" for the sequel, which comes out in November. She said to her nine million followers that she loves "the underlying message" of the movie franchise and that the "special" track is both a "message to [her] fans" and "how [she] connects to the movie."
Love the underlying message of @TheHungerGames. "We Remain" is special new song, its message to my fans & how I connect w/ the movie, alike.— Christina Aguilera (@xtina) September 25, 2013
Coldplay and The National have both recorded songs for the "Hunger Games" sequel as well.
Meantime, Christina has returned to NBC's "The Voice." After the first week of blind auditions, she's already scooped up some promising talent, including early front runner Matthew Schuler and Josh Logan.

One Regulatory Program Per Customer, Please
The menu of policy options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and tackling climate change is pretty lengthy, and the portions offered are quite substantial. Congress now has to make the choice of which regulatory option to order, and as we saw in last week's hearings at the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, they are open to recommendations. One interaction on Thursday between Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) and Fred Krupp, President of the Environmental Defense Fund, highlighted the need to pick a single, effective strategy to tackle climate change and not overstuff our economy with duplicative regulations. The exchange focused on whether the EPA should continue to proceed with regulations through the Clean Air Act's New Source Review (NSR) program even if a comprehensive climate change program is enacted.
Given existing requirements, regulation of greenhouse gases under any provisions of the Clean Air Act will trigger NSR. Under NSR rules, the construction of new stationary sources and major modifications of existing ones must be permitted to ensure that they will not contribute to significant deterioration of air quality. While NSR has long been used to regulate traditional air pollutants, when it comes to feeding an appetite for climate change regulation, NSR doesn't really hit the spot. NSR is rather inflexible, costly to implement, and results in relatively limited emission reductions. Given the difficulty in developing standards for the large number of sources that emit greenhouse gases and the need to provide incentives for technological change in order to achieve deep reductions over time, new source review simply isn't the right recipe for our current needs.
This chef's recommendation: a well-designed cap-and-trade program that is aggressive enough to yield needed reductions in greenhouse gas emissions while spurring the technological innovations we need to make those reductions and grow our economy. Enactment of a cap-and-trade program means we can send back duplicative programs like NSR and still be satisfied.
Sure, we'll need complementary policies that work in a coordinated fashion with a cap-and-trade program. These side dishes of the cap-and-trade meal are targeted programs that are designed to enhance cap-and-trade's impacts without getting in the way of the functioning of the primary program. A comprehensive climate bill can work just fine without NSR.

You've been working hard on your diet, you've started to exercise and lose weight, but sometimes your blood sugar can still be higher than your doctor wants it to be. Maybe you've only just started to work on lifestyle changes. You are making progress but you may need medication to get your sugar in the safest range. Your doctor will use the results of your hemoglobin A1c test and your own blood sugar tests from home to determine whether to start medicine or insulin.
If you need diabetes pills or insulin, it does not mean that you are a failure or have wasted your efforts to eat right and exercise. With the proper diet and physical activity, you will need less medication to do the job. And medication alone is NOT adequate without proper diet and exercise. Remember that good control of your blood sugars is the goal for you to focus on with your doctor and health care team.
Taking diabetes pills can improve your blood sugar results. These pills are NOT insulin. There are 5 or more types of diabetes pills. Each type lowers your blood sugar in different ways. If you need to take medication, talk to your doctor and pharmacist about the details of your specific drug. For example, get instructions about what time of day to take your medicine and whether you need to take the drug with food or not. Taking your medicine at the same time each day will give you the best and most consistent results.
Sulfonylureas and meglitinides
Examples of these inusln secretagogues are glyburide, glipizide, glimepiride, nateglinide, and repaglinide. (Some are short acting and are taken with meals (such as nateglinide and repaglinide).
These drugs:
An example is metformin. This medication:
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
Examples are pioglitazone and rosiglitazone. These drugs:
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV antagonists
Also called gliptins, examples of these medicines are sitagliptin and saxagliptin. These drugs:
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
Examples are acarbose and miglitol. These drugs:
Incretin mimetics
Examples are exenatide and liraglutide. These drugs:
Insulin injections
Most people want to avoid taking insulin to control their diabetes. However, your doctor might decide to add insulin to your treatment if your hemoglobin A1c is too high. Pills work for a period of time, but with type 2 diabetes, your pancreas may eventuallyno longer be able to make enough insulin. If this happens, your pancreas needs help, and you will be giving yourself insulin shots. About 40% of people with type 2 diabetes will ultimately require insulin injections.
Here are the types of insulin based on how fast they work.
Your insulin treatment plan
Taking insulin is more complex than taking pills. At first, you may feel overwhelmed by the process or all the different information. Your doctor or diabetes educator (generally a nurse or a registered dietitian) will teach you the skills you need. It is important for you to actively participate in planning your treatment. Some of the topics that you will learn about are:
Insulin is a way of taking better care of yourself. Remember that with better blood sugar control you will feel better, decrease your risk of diabetes complications, and improve the quality of your life.

Chiefland softball player Taylore Fuller is one of the select few athletes that will get to compete at the varsity level in college. A year from now she will be wearing Orange and Blue, playing for the University of Florida.
But in the finale of her high school school, she was as distraught as if it were her last game ever.
Fuller wasn't alone in her tears. Even after the post-game talk with the coaching staff, few players, and some of their parents, could keep a dry face.

The COUNT function counts the number of cells that contain numbers, and counts numbers within the list of arguments. Use the COUNT function to get the number of entries in a number field that is in a range or array of numbers. For example, you can enter the following formula to count the numbers in the range A1:A20: =COUNT(A1:A20). In this example, if five of the cells in the range contain numbers, the result is 5.
COUNT(value1, [value2], ...)
The COUNT function syntax has the following arguments:
value1 Required. The first item, cell reference, or range within which you want to count numbers.
value2, ... Optional. Up to 255 additional items, cell references, or ranges within which you want to count numbers.
Note: The arguments can contain or refer to a variety of different types of data, but only numbers are counted.
Arguments that are numbers, dates, or a text representation of numbers (for example, a number enclosed in quotation marks, such as "1") are counted.
Logical values and text representations of numbers that you type directly into the list of arguments are counted.
Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers are not counted.
If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are counted. Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are not counted.
If you want to count logical values, text, or error values, use the COUNTA function.
If you want to count only numbers that meet certain criteria, use the COUNTIF function or the COUNTIFS function.
Copy the example data in the following table, and paste it in cell A1 of a new Excel worksheet. For formulas to show results, select them, press F2, and then press Enter. If you need to, you can adjust the column widths to see all the data.

Boiling Springs, N.C. - Aaron Reese ran for a team high 111 yards in his starting quarterback debut for the Tornados in the 2011 season and Derek Church found the end zone twice on the evening, but Gardner-Webb scored 17 consecutive points spanning the second and fourth quarters as the Tornados fell to the Runnin' Bulldogs on Saturday evening in Spangler Stadium, 34-17.
Reese broke the century mark for Brevard (0-1), carrying the ball 15 times for 111 yards, including a game-long 45 yards scamper on the second play of the game, setting up Brevard's first touchdown. He also went 2-for-6 in the air for 18 yards, hooking up with Eric Watts and Andre Overholt. Derek Church added 97 yards on 22 carries as the Tornados picked up 245 yards rushing on the ground, averaging 5.7 yards per carry on the ground.
Defensively, Michael Gist and C.J. Wilson had 13 tackles apiece to led the Brevard defense as the Tornados picked up nine tackles for loss against the FCS Runnin' Bulldogs. Christian Lumbu and Richard Ray also disrupted the GWU passing attack throughout the evening as each of the starting defensive ends recorded two sacks in the game.
Kenny Little and Juanne Blount led the Gardner-Webb (1-0) balanced offensive attack as each of the running backs picked up over 100 yards rushing the game. Little led the way with 23 carries for 131 yards, including three touchdown runs, while Blount averaged 7.3 yards per carry onhis way to a 102 yard rushing effort. Through the air, Chandler Browning was 14-for-26 for 217 yards and a touchdown, with his favorite target being James Perry III, who hauled in six passes for 107 yards and a score.
Devin Johnson led all players on the field with 15 total tackles on the evening, while Lyndrez Leslie and Bradley Taylor each recorded sacks on the BC quarterback.
Brevard opened the scoring in the contest on their opening drive as Reese marched the Tornados down the field. After a Jeter carry put the ball on the BC 40 yard line, Reese took the snap and ran the option around the edge, keeping the ball himself as he carried the ball all the way down to the GWU 15 yard line. Four plays later, on fourth-and-1, Church bulled his way into the end zone at the 11:32 mark, and following Austin Clark's extra point, the Tornados led 7-0.
The defenses controlled the remainder of the first quarter as both teams were forced to punt after consecutive three-and-outs, before Gardner-Webb started their third drive of the game in BC territory following a 22 yard punt return by Ricky Rhodes, giving the Runnin' Bulldogs the ball on the BC 38. After a pair of first downs, Richard Ray burst through the line of scrimmage, sacking Browning inside the red zone and the Tornados defense stiffened up, giving way to a Trever Austin 30 yard field goal with 1:55 left in the first half, putting the score at 7-3.
The Runnin' Bulldogs took their first lead of the contest on their next drive as GWU used six plays to move 37 yards, finishing on Little's 15 yard carry into the end zone early in the second half, putting GWU up 10-7.
The Tornados responded on their next drive, using a 19 yard carry by Church and a 15 yard face mask penalty to most the ball into Gardner-Webb territory. A 15 yard pickup by Kelvin Jeter put Brevard inside the red zone at the GWU 15 yard line, but that was as close as the Tornados were able to come. Clark drilled in the field goal attempt from 33 yards out with 8:05 left in the first half to tie the score up at 10 apiece.
Gardner-Webb would score twice more in the first half as Perry would haul in a 34 yard touchdown reception from Browning, capping off a five play-70 yard drive with 6:03 left in the half and Austin drilled a 33 yard field goal in the closing seconds to give the Runnin' Bulldogs the 20-10 halftime lead.
After a scoreless third quarter, Little punched the ball in from one yard out to cap the longest drive of the evening as GWU moved the ball 80 yards in 14 plays and 3:37 to go up 27-10.
The Tornados continued to battle back, as Church added his second touchdown of the evening, this time bulldozing his way in from 10 yards out to put the score at 27-17 with 10:56 left in the contest, but the Runnin' Bulldogs put the game away on Little's three yard carry, ending the suspense in the 2011 season opener for both squads.
Brevard returns home next weekend as they open their 2011 home schedule on Saturday, September 10th against Johnson C. Smith University. Kickoff inside Brevard Memorial Stadium is set for 2 p.m.
