Soccer Hosts No. 19 Xavier in NCAA Tourney
Nov. 14, 2012
UK Game Notes | XU Game Notes | Tourney Central | Digital Game Program
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- For just the second time in program history, the Kentucky men's soccer team will host the NCAA Tournament first round, welcoming No. 19 Xavier to the UK Soccer Complex on Thursday for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff. The two teams will be playing to advance to face No. 16 overall seed Indiana on Sunday in Bloomington, Ind.
Kentucky (10-8-2) will face the Musketeers (13-2-5) in the first-round NCAA Tournament game at the UK Soccer Complex. UK is making its fifth all-time appearance in the NCAA Tournament and its second as a host, last appearing and hosting the postseason in 2003.
UK made the NCAA Tournament in head coach Johan Cedergren's first season at the helm of the program, guiding UK to school records in Conference USA postseason awards, top-25 wins and games against ranked foes, and helping UK to its best road record since 1995.
UK ended the regular-season with a No. 25 NCAA RPI, its highest to conclude the season in the modern-era history (2003-present) of the program. The Wildcats had the second-best RPI in C-USA and the second-best strength of schedule (No. 22), with its game against XU marking its 10th game against a top-25 foe in 2012. UK has had a historic year despite battling injuries, as UK had a total of 17 combined goals on the bench during the C-USA Tournament last week in Hoover, Ala., at Regions Park. UK posted a 1-0 win over Memphis in the C-USA opener, before facing regular-season champion, No. 19 SMU in the semifinals. UK got goals from Cameron Wilder and Gabriel Conelian to push the Mustangs to penalty kicks, with SMU advancing to the finals on PKs, 4-1.

Junior goalkeeper Jack Van Arsdale and senior midfielder Cameron Wilder were tabbed second-team with junior forward Tyler Riggs and junior defender Dylan Asher selected third-team All-Conference USA. Defender Jacob Speed was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team.
Kentucky first-year head coach Johan Cedergren took over as the third coach in program history in December. UK opened up the season on the road at a Dayton, a wild 4-3 loss with all goals scored in the second half. The rugged schedule to open didn't stop there, as UK traveled to Columbia, S.C., to face No. 25 Northwestern (L, 1-2 ot) and No. 15 St. Johns (L, 0-1). After securing the first win in the Cedergren era in a 2-0 result vs. St. Joes on Sept. 2, UK again faced a stiff test in No. 4 Charlotte (L, 0-1). That left Kentucky with a 1-4 record to open up and the challenge of traveling to face No. 18 Louisville on the road, in front of 5,583 fans. UK responded with a 1-0 win and has sense changed its season around, boasting a 9-4-2 record since the 1-4 start, with a program-record three top-25 wins on the road.
Kentucky's 2012 season has already been a historic one, as the Wildcats have won the second-most road wins in program history, sporting a 6-2 record on the road. UK leads the conference in road wins, with its six wins away from the UK Soccer Complex the most since UK was 7-2 on the road in 1995.
The Wildcats currently check in with the No. 25 RPI in the nation, in rankings released on Sunday night. The ranking marks UK's highest pre-NCAA Tournament RPI ranking in the modern-era history of the program (2003-present). UK is the second-highest ranked RPI team in C-USA, behind No. 12 Tulsa and ahead of No. 28 SMU and No. 32 UAB. UK has wins on the road at RPI ranked foes No. 12 Tulsa (2-0), No. 13 Louisville (1-0) and No. 32 UAB (2-1), also drawing No. 28 SMU (2-2) in the C-USA semifinals. UK is 3-4-1 against the NCAA's top-50 RPI teams, including a 2-0 mark against top-15 teams in the NCAA RPI.
Kentucky has played a program record nine games against top-25 opponents in 2012 and with three wins has tied the school record for wins over top-25 foes. UK has wins at No. 18 Louisville, No. 25 UAB and No. 23 Tulsa, owning a 3-5-1 record against top-25 teams in 2012.
After getting off to a 1-4 start under first-year head coach Johan Cedergren, Kentucky has since gone on a torrid pace over its final 15 games to advance to the NCAA Tournament. During that 15-game stretch, UK has a 9-4-2 overall record, including a 5-1-1 mark in conference play. Over the last 15 games, UK has outscored its opponents 27-16, owning a 1.04 goals-against average. UK has twice ran up four-game winning streaks during the 15 games, posting a record three wins on the road against top-25 foes.
Kentucky ranks throughout the C-USA stats, including ranking second in points (95), second in goals (34), third in assists (27) and fourth in goals-against average (1.22). UK also leads the league in corner kicks (124), averaging 6.20 corners per game. Individually, Matt Lodge ranks third in shots (66), sixth in shots per game (3.30), eighth in goals (seven) and third in game-winning goals (three). Tyler Riggs ranks eighth in points (18) and eighth in goals (seven), while Jacob Kemper ranks seventh in assists. Jack Van Arsdale has the third-best GAA (1.11).
One of the key ingredients to the Kentucky turnaround has been the tremendous impact made by the Kentucky newcomers. Several Kentucky freshmen have been instrumental in the UK turnaround, including midfielder Bryan Celis, defender Dustin Scibilia, forward Caleb Richardson, midfielder Kristoffer Tollefsen, defender Jacob Speed and versatile talent Isak Krogstad. Celis, Tollefsen, Speed and Krogstad have emerged as everyday starters, with Speed starting 19 consecutive games at center back. Krogstad, a forward by nature, has shifted to outside back due to injury and in a new system.
Kentucky had a solid Conference USA Tournament in its seventh all-time conference tournament appearance. UK posted a 1-0 win over Memphis in the league tournament quarterfinals, getting a clean sheet from Jack Van Arsdale and the first career goal from senior defender Jacob Kemper. Kemper's goal came on a majestic strike from 30 yards out on a misfired corner kick from Matt Lodge. In the semifinals on Friday night, UK got the first career goal from Cameron Wilder and a tally from Gabriel Conelian for a 2-2 draw with No. 19 SMU, the regular-season champions. The game went to penalty kicks, with SMU advancing to the finale, 4-1, with UK missing its first two PK chances before getting a successful chance from Lodge.
The Kentucky men's and women's soccer programs are experiencing unprecedented success in the 2012 season. The UK women's program is currently en route to face national seed UCLA in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, after a thrilling 1-0 win in the NCAA Tournament opener at the UK Soccer Complex, its second consecutive year hosting. Fourth-year women's soccer head coach Jon Lipsitz has helped transform the program into an annual national contender after coming to UK from Charlotte and installing an exciting new system. UK is one of nine programs in the nation to have its women's and men's programs ranked in the NCAA top-35 RPI.
With the UK soccer programs undergoing unprecedented growth in 2012, the teams will move into one of the best soccer facilities in the nation for the 2013 season. Renderings have been made and the facility is in the designing stage to house both programs in 2013 on the current site of the UK Soccer Complex. UK is working with Luckett & Farley, the largest architectural firm in Kentucky, on the designs of the stadium. The facility renderings include art of the new facility, which is slated to be adjacent to the softball complex as part of a multiple sport pavilion location. The new UK Soccer Complex will be placed at the current location, with a gorgeous new grandstand to take the place of the two groups of stands currently housing fans. Both programs will have a new locker room, lounge, training facility and game day offices underneath the new grandstand, with the press box designed to serve needs of media, television and radio broadcasts, and suites. A pair of convenient walk ways will allow fans and staff to effortlessly move from the soccer to the softball facility.
"We are extremely happy about the designs for the new stadium," UK men's soccer head coach Johan Cedergren said. "This facility will give Kentucky one of the top facilities for collegiate soccer in the nation and combined with a gorgeous new softball facility will really create a wonderful atmosphere off Alumni Drive. President Eli Capilouto, (athletics director) Mitch Barnhart and the UK administration are making a tremendous commitment to the future of our program and our student athletes."
"It is very exciting for us to be able to unveil these facility plans and show off what a wonderful place we think we have planned for UK soccer," UK women's soccer head coach Jon Lipsitz said. "Of course, all of this starts with the support of our administration in Dr. Capilouto and Mitch Barnhart. They have made a distinguished effort to make sure we have a facility that is on par with those in the Southeastern Conference, and I think we have really come up with something special. My staff and I truly thank everyone involved in the planning portion of the design, and we are looking forward to seeing the finished product come to life here shortly."
Kentucky senior midfielder Matt Lodge and junior forward Tyler Riggs have carved out a pair of the most explosive careers in program history, ranking among the tops in the UK record books. In addition to ranking among the leaders in the categories below, Lodge is the record holder with 203 career shots. UK junior keeper Jack Van Arsdale has also began to inch up the career record books for goals-against average.

UK head coach Johan Cedergren brought an exciting new style of play to the Wildcats after accepting the job in December. Traditionally, a physical, defensive minded club, Kentucky has transformed into a possession-based attacking team that is built on speed and athleticism. Playing on one of the best surfaces in soccer, Kentucky's system involves the outside backs having an ability to support the attack, with UK's current outside backs both forwards for their careers before moving to the backline.
Kentucky entered the preseason locked in a goalkeeper battle between UK freshman Callum Irving and junior Jack Van Arsdale. Van Arsdale was the experienced keeper, having started a handful of games in 2011, with Irving entering Lexington as the talented, highly recruited product of Vancouver. A native of Richmond, Va., Van Arsdale won the starting job after the 1-4 start, getting the call in a jaw-dropping performance in a clean sheet at No. 18 Louisville. Van Arsdale has been nails since taking over the starting job for the UL game, owning a 1.04 goals-against average during that stretch with five shutouts.
Kentucky's 2012 season has been a strong one for its senior class, featuring six standouts. UK's senior class includes Gabriel Conelian, Matt Lodge, Bryon Vega, Cameron Wilder, Jacob Kemper and Charley Pettys. The six-player senior class features five everyday starters, with Vega a contributor off the bench on the backline. Lodge, Conelian and Pettys are all prolific scoring threats, with Kemper shifting from forward after his first three years to outside back in Johan Cedergren's new system and excelling. Wilder has been a fixture in the midfield for four seasons and has shined in Cedergren's system and a leader and holding midfielder.
In 2009, UK boasted an All-America defender in Barry Rice. In an effort to find a way to promote a center back who may not get a bevy of scoring chances, the UK sports info office created a "contested headers won vs. contested headers lost" stat to chart his ability in the air. Now a member of the UK coaching staff, Rice suggested in the preseason that UK keep this stat for Perinovic, UK's junior center back. After the first five games, it became readily apparent that Perinovic had the same kind of ability, instincts and timing that Rice had in the air. A native of Delafield, Wis., Perinovic has starred for UK in 2012, earning first-team All-Conference USA honors while leading the youthful UK defense. The junior got his first career goal - in true Barry Rice form - on a header as the game winning goal vs. East Tennessee State on Sept. 19.
When UK head coach Johan Cedergren took the job in December, one of his stated priorities was to involve the alumni as much as possible. Cedergren immediately added former UK stars Marco dos Santos and Barry Rice to his coaching staff, two of the more prolific players in recent program history. Dos Santos serves as the graduate assistant director of UK's soccer operations, while Rice is the undergraduate assistant coach. Dos Santos coordinates all of UK's travel plans while Rice has emerged as a vocal member of the coaching staff, with his knowledge and passion for the program serving as a tremendous asset.
UK head coach Johan Cedergren named Matt Lodge and Cameron Wilder as the co-captains for the 2012 season. Lodge is in his second year at co-captain, while Wilder has emerged as a more vocal presence on the pitch. A native of Rossington, England, Lodge has 23 goals and nine assists in his 73 game UK career, while Wilder has played in 69 games in the midfield with a goal and three assists.
When Kentucky moved from the Mid-American Conference for the 2004 season, the Wildcats were hoping to move from a traditional one-bid league that it had dominated for years, to a more competitive conference. The shift to C-USA has proved to be a wise one over the last three years, as four teams have made the NCAA Tournament in each season. With UCF, Memphis and SMU leaving C-USA for the Big East, C-USA will add three strong teams for the 2013 season, including Charlotte (No. 17 in RPI), Old Dominion (No. 24) and New Mexico (No. 10).

Breaking: Beyonce Has Super Short Hair Now!
Beyonce: Kind of perfect in every way. She can do long hair, and, as evidenced by these new pics of her just up on her Instagram feed, she can rock a short pixie cut, too. What makes Beyonce so good at everything? We're guessing she must have made some kind of deal with the devil. Like, maybe what nobody tells you about Bey is that she farts all the time. Like, constantly. Sure, those farts probably smell like Champagne and roses, but still.
Anyway! We are digging her new super-short 'do. What do you think? And how quickly before Miley Cyrus declares responsibility for it?
Another pick of Bey's short locks after the jump!

Local and state officials were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and dedication of the bridge at Center's Ferry.

Tuesday's court victory was bittersweet for Pat Brown.
A Cumberland County jury found brothers Rocky and Leon Houston should pay more than $5 million because they are responsible for the May 2006 shooting death of her son.
The decision wasn't enough to take away the pain she's felt for nearly six years.
"No amount of money can touch the hole in my heart," she said. "Money can't do that."
The opinion Roane County Attorney Tom McFarland gave the Roane County Commission earlier this month about the sale of land in front of Bowers Elementary School differed from the one attorney Charles Cagle gave the Board of Education.
Cagle, who represents the board, said in February the board has the power to sell any property to which it holds title.
"He was not wrong in his opinion," McFarland said. "His opinion says hey, if you have title as a school board you can sell the property. Where the problem was they didn't have title."

Pastor Nick Hill is excited about the opportunity to bring his congregation to the theater for his upbeat services.
"I always wanted to come here when I heard they were doing it," Hill said.

Did I give you an opportunity or what to tease me ? :)
I dont listen to the current dance beat music that indian film musicals have. I listen to mostly 70s, 80s recorded on LP. They are not bad, a blend of Indian classical, with western classical interludes and sometimes rock style bass/rhythm guitar for fast songs.
The composer, I listen to, has recorded some symphonic music with the LSO. The sound engineer for this was Tony Faulkner. Unfortunately, it has not been released yet, because of lack of enthusiasm from labels and being an unknown composer (internationally).
I am actually checking out the SACD section with Alison Kraus's New Favorite and Telarc's DSD recorded 1812 overture.
I will try to exchange my piece for another one from Philips.
Follow Ups:
Being from there, I know where "fidelity" ranks on their scale :-)
However, I am more upset about their not preserving classic movies. Imagine if Pakeezah or Moghul-a-Azam (sp?) was preserved to be able to broadcast in high definition. Mass mediocrity rules. Oh well.

Beijing (UPI) Aug 30, 2010
China is moving forward with its South-North Water Transfer Project aimed at diverting water from the massive Yangtze River Basin more than 620 miles, with 60,000 people to be relocated by Sept. 30 and several hundred thousand by 2014.
While the Chinese government has learned lessons from the experience with the massive Three Gorges Dam, which resulted in the displacement of 1.3 million people, a new study shows that serious problems remain with development for the South-North project.
This time authorities have relied on persuasion, instead of force, to carry out the relocation measures for South-North, the report from California environmental advocacy group International Rivers states. They also have involved elected resettlement committees.
But the resettlement budget is still "relatively low," International Rivers says, and the people affected by the resettlement don't have the freedom to choose among different resettlement options, nor were they involved in setting the resettlement policies.
The report calls for more government support for those affected, particularly after being resettled.
Three Gorges, the world's largest and most expensive dam, came at an official cost of $25 billion.
The South-North Water Transfer Project, by contrast, is expected to cost $62 million and is considered the biggest engineering endeavor in Chinese history. It is expected to supply 45 trillion gallons of water for hundreds of millions of people in Beijing and northern China by 2030.
China's current total water shortage is around 1.5 trillion gallons, which is equal to three times the annual water supply of New York City, says China's NDTV. Already, Beijing's two reservoirs have shrunk to 10 percent of their capacity and the city's annual water demand is expected to swell to 1.1 trillion gallons by 2020, city government estimates indicate.
Yet "the ecological cost impacts of the project are not really [acknowledged] by the government," said Peter Bosshard, policy director for International Rivers, National Geographic News reports.
The reduced flow of the Yangtze, for example, could restrict the river's ability to flush out pollutants, he said.
Three Gorges, for its part, revealed its shortcomings when flood waters raced into the dam's 400-mile-long reservoir last month, prompting a government official to admit that the dam's flood-control capacity "is not unlimited."
Thousands of tons of garbage also accumulated amid the heavy rains, threatening to block the locks of the dam.
Bosshard maintains that grand engineering schemes aren't the solution to China's water crisis. Instead, he says "efficiency improvements and conservation measures that can reduce the country's water demand."

Stussy has been making huge moves in 2013 and their momentum shows no signs of slowing down with the grand opening of a retail location in Taipei. Stocked with the latest collections, as well as in-store exclusives, the store marks an international expansion of the brand. In order to create the best possible experience, Stussy called on CLOT creative director Edison Chen to design exclusive commemorative T-shirts, as well as Dr. Romanelli to create a capsule collection for the location. With an all-star crew behind it, including Matthew Williams (Lady Gaga's creative director and #Been #Trill member), Stussy Taipei looks to be a major success.

Behavior change has become a central objective of public health interventions over the last half decade, as the influence of prevention within the health services has increased. The increased influence of prevention has coincided with increased multi-lateral and bi-lateral aid in the area of human development, and the increased need for the international development community to show cost-effectiveness for allocated dollars spent.
Behavior change programs, which have evolved over time, encompass a broad range of activities and approaches, which focus on the individual, community, and environmental influences on behavior. The term Behavior Change Communication (BCC) specifically refers to community health seeking behavior, and was first employed in HIV and TB prevention projects. More recently, its ambit has grown to encompass any communication activity whose goal is to help individuals and communities select and practice behavior that will positively impact their health, such as immunization, cervical cancer check up, employing single-use syringes, and so on.
Behavior change, a relatively recent public health related term, should not be confused with behavior modification, a term with specific meaning in a clinical psychiatry setting.
Behavior change programs tend to focus on a few theories which gained ground in 1980s. These theories share a major commonality in defining individual actions as the locus of change. Behavior change programs usually focus on activities that help a person or a community to reflect upon their risk behaviors and change them to reduce their risk and vulnerability are known as interventions. See also 'The Transtheoretical (Stages of Change) Model of Behavior Change', 'The Theory of Reasoned Action', and 'The Health Belief Model'.
It is one of the characteristics of Behavior Change Communication, or BCC that its practitioners keep coining new terms to describe their approach — recent ones include Strategic Behavioral Communication (SBC); Information, Education, Communication (IEC); and Communication for Social Change (CSC). True, some of these terms are more about behavior and change than others, but all do share the belief that through communication of some kind, individuals and communities can somehow be persuaded to behave in ways that will make their lives safer and healthier.
The shifting terminology, a characteristic of this field, is a pointer to the fact that BCC is an evolving area, rather than a coherent topic. It is neither a discipline, nor a science or an art. It encompasses conflicting approaches, too little measurement of impact, a variety of theories, and approaches that some feel are too mechanistic. Theories emerging from the West reflect change ideologies rooted in rational choice, individual transformations, and the role of reason and knowledge. BCC practices emerging in developing countries illustrate the role of the community, social acceptance, emotion, and emulation in personal change.
Villagers in a Kenyan community, for example, offered this theory of behavior when asked: the experiences a person undergoes trigger emotions, positive or negative. These shape attitudes, which lead to behavioral choices. One person's behavior becomes another person's experience, and the cycle begins again.
This simple, home-grown theory has much wisdom. It suggests that if a person's experience is the key to his or her behavior, then one way to stimulate new behavior might be to expand this pool of experience. NGOs in Kenya, such as PATH, have designed ways to bring about experience-sharing through deep dialogue in groups and theater processes. In India, participatory community-driven theater among sex workers led to passionate and heartfelt dialogue. In many cases, the critical reflection triggered by these discourses has led participants to self-driven behavior changes.
One school of thought argues that BCC that focuses on "target" audiences and fixed, externally determined behavioral outcomes can violate the very principles that underlie work in the community: dignity, participation, and choice. Focusing on community involvement can lead to deep and durable changes. If BCC practitioners can support communities in understanding their risks, and helping them design behavior change solutions that will work for them, perhaps we will begin to understand where the true transformational power of BCC lies.

Margaret Fulton, 88, is Australia's best-known food writer and one of our most loved national figures. Her list of honours includes a ''National Living Treasure'' from the National Trust and an OAM. She has written more than 20 cookbooks and was particularly chuffed to win the Lloyd O'Neil award for outstanding services to the Australian book industry in 2011. But, right now, she is excited about tinkering about with her home sous vide machine.
The staples
In the pantry
A good vinegar and olive oil is essential. I vary them both. At this moment, I have a Pukara Estate robust premium Australian extra virgin olive oil and a beautiful aged Fattorie Giacobazzi balsamic vinegar of Modena. For cooking, I use rice bran oil, which can take high temperatures, saving the extra virgin for the last moment if I want it. Moutarde de Dijon, Faillot & Co is another favourite.
My fridge
I always have what I call ''proper'' milk. My one is Ivyhome certified organic whole milk, which is not homogenised. In winter, I have porridge, but summer calls for muesli. My regular is Brookfarm macadamia muesli, which I have with Meredith Farm yoghurt. I love Lescure butter.
Last dinner at home
There was a time when pork roast usually meant a leg of pork with apple sauce. Last night I roasted a free-range belly of pork with a wonderful balance of lean and fat, with crispy crunchy crackling, and served it with a tangy crispy green mango salad.
Alan Saunders' A is for Apple is a thinking cook's book from one of our brightest minds on the subject.
My toolkit
I have a Breville Fresh Keeper vacuum sealer, which I'm mad about. It's great for keeping anything special that has come my way (great for leftover pieces of cheese) and a sous vide machine, which I'm busily experimenting with. I have a few small tools that have become indispensable in my life. I have a tiny whisk for beating eggs for omelets or custard; a plastic-handled shredder with seven small blades that makes the thinnest fluffiest shredded green onions for Asian dishes; and a small julienne peeler that cuts cucumber, fennel, carrots, etc, to give a salad great lift. Mixing bowls, designed in Finland, are the ones that appeared in my first cookbook 40 years ago.
You can replace most kitchen equipment but not my hand-beaten copper saucepans. I've bought them over the years at markets in Paris.
Most memorable meal
I was with UK publisher Lord Paul Hamlyn at his country estate and we had grouse and wild mushrooms from the Scottish woods. We were celebrating the start of the grouse season. I was the guest of honour and there to sign another book deal, having already made Paul a fortune. The combination of incredible food with incredible company on an incredible estate not far from Windsor Castle was unforgettable.
I'm drinking
I'm an English Breakfast tea girl. It should be made in a proper tea pot with a tea cosy in winter, milk and a spot of sugar in a proper tea cup and saucer. I never drink soft drinks, just the juice of a freshly squeezed orange in the morning. Wherever you find good food, you should find good wine. I've just taken delivery of a case of French champagne, just in case there's some celebrating to do. I'm drinking less but always have good wine on hand.
Saturday night tipple
Single malt whisky. At present, it's a 20-year-old from Royal Brackla in Nairn, Scotland, where I was born.
Secret vice
I love but limit Ben & Jerry's strawberry cheesecake ice-cream. I love, but don't limit enough, according to my doctor, Delice de Bourgogne cheese, when I fancy a little French luxury.

Cox, Parmley Help Liberty Roll Past Towson, 12-3
Tyler Cox drove in five runs and Ian Parmley had four hits and scored three times, helping to propel the Liberty Flames to a 12-3 victory over the Towson Tigers, Saturday evening at Riley Park.
Cox went 3-for-4 in the contest, with two run-scoring doubles and a two-run home run. Liberty's designated hitter also scored two runs, raising his batting average to a team-leading .583. Parmley, the Flames' leadoff hitter, went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a triple and three runs scored.
In addition, Liberty got another strong outing from its starting pitcher during the team's weekend in Charleston. Jacob Kemmerer picked up the win in his first outing of 2012. The senior right-hander did not allow a run over the first five innings and ended up allowing three runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings of work. He struck out two and walked one. At one point during his outing, Kemmerer retired eight straight batters.
Liberty moves to 3-0 on the year. Until the Tigers scored in the sixth inning, the Flames had not allowed a run over 23 consecutive innings to begin the year. Towson, who Liberty also defeated earlier in the day, 8-0, drops to 1-2.
For the third consecutive contest, the Flames, the home team on the scoreboard, opened the game with runs in the first inning. Liberty has plated two or more runs in the opening inning of each of its three games.
Left fielder Parmley led off the frame with a bunt single and stole second base. After Parmley moved to third on a strike three wild pitch to right fielder Michael Robertson, Cox laced a one-out double off the right center field wall to clear the bases and give the Flames a 2-0 lead. Second baseman Bryan Aanderud followed with an opposite-field RBI single, plating Cox for a 3-0 advantage.
Liberty extended its lead in the second inning. Shortstop Zack Haley walked and advanced to third base on the first of Parmley's two doubles in the contest. Two batters later, both runners scored on a throwing error by Tiger second baseman Peter Bowles on a two-out grounder by Robertson.
The Flames pushed across a single run in each of the third and fourth innings. Third baseman Dalton Sype scored Aanderud, who had opened the frame with a single, by beating out a well-placed bunt for a single in the third inning to give Liberty a 6-0 edge. A RBI double by Cox in the fourth inning upped the Flames' lead to 7-0.
Towson cut into Liberty's advantage in the top of the sixth inning, scoring the first runs of the year against the Flames. After center fielder Ben Winters and designated hitter Brandon Gonella each singled to begin the inning, Dominic Fratantuono doubled, scoring Winters. Later in the frame, Bowles singled with two outs to plate two more runs, trimming the Liberty lead to 7-3.
The Flames answered with two runs of their own in the bottom of the sixth, when Cox blasted his first home run in a Liberty uniform off a palm tree beyond the left field wall for a 9-3 edge.
Liberty tacked on three more runs for the final score of 12-3 in the seventh inning. With two outs, Parmley tripled and scored on a double by center fielder Andy Smith. Robertson followed with his first home run of the season over the left field wall.
Liberty pounded out 14 hits in the contest, with nine going for extra bases. Towson had six hits in the contest.
Tiger starter Tyler Austin takes the loss in his first outing of 2012. The right-hander was roughed up for seven runs on seven hits over three innings. He struck out four and walked two batters.
Liberty will face The Citadel Bulldogs, the host of The Citadel Challenge, tomorrow in the final game of the tournament. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.

'The Wrestler' Puts a Chokehold on Beverly Hills
Brace yourselves; you're about to see a lot more of Mickey Rourke than you have in recent years.
Rourke's new film, The Wrestler, had its premiere at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, Tuesday night. From the looks of things, it could spark a dramatic comeback for the 52-year-old actor.
The film—which opens in New York and Los Angeles today, and in theaters nationwide on January 23—has been garnering critical kudos for Rourke, who plays retired wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson. Check out a preview:
On hand to usher in Rourke's renaissance at the premiere were co-stars Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei, along with director Darren Aranofsky (Requiem for a Dream), actor/musician Jared Leto, Rachel Weisz, rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, and conspiracy-minded auteur Oliver Stone.
Rourke—who looked resplendent as always in leather pants, gold vest, blazer and sunglasses—told reporters that he's fully ready to capitalize on his cinematic second chance. "I've got to keep in mind where I came from, and I don't want to go back there," Rourke said. "I gotta stay on my game, move forward and live my life the right way."
Director Aranofsky, meanwhile, hopes to bring a touch of legitimacy to a sport that hasn't been taken terribly seriously. "Most people sort of write off wrestling as a joke," Aranofsky conceded.
Funny he should mention that; up until recently, the same thing could have been said of his film's star.

Threat to split up south revealed
Philippine Muslim rebel negotiators told American diplomats that their group could Balkanise the south if pushed and had been urged to conduct assassinations, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front also urged the United States to conduct a 'parallel dialogue' with them to push stalled peace talks forward, Leslie Bassett, who was the charge d'affaires at the US embassy in Manila, wrote in February last year.
The cable, marked classified and confidential, was released last week by WikiLeaks.
Yesterday, chief rebel negotiator Mohagher Iqbal confirmed that he was at a dinner on February 24 last year, detailed in Bassett's report. He confirmed that the topics had veered to assassination, Balkanisation and parallel dialogue with the US.
Balkanisation refers to fragmentation or division of a region or state into smaller regions or states that are often hostile or non-cooperative with each other.
The report quoted rebel peace panel member Michael Mastura saying: 'We can still make trouble and Balkanise the area. Please do not allow us to do that.'
Iqbal confirmed that Mastura had said that. However, Iqbal said: 'The MILF does not threaten. It's just a statement of fact. The meaning of that message is that there must be seriousness in talks.'
The cable also reported that 'while Mastura said others had urged the MILF to pursue political assassinations of [former] president [Gloria Macapagal] Arroyo's executive secretary Eduardo Ermita and North Cotabato province Vice-Governor Manuel Pinol, the MILF does not assassinate, even if it loathes the influence of these individuals who 'have made a career' out of opposing peace in Mindanao'.
It said 'the flow of the conversation did not allow Poloff [political officer Michael Pignatello] to interject and explicitly voice opposition to the notion of assassinations, but everyone present seemed clearly to understand the US would find such acts abhorrent'.
Iqbal confirmed his rebel group had been approached to conduct assassinations. 'That's a fact, but nothing of that sort has happened. We are not resorting to that. There is no programme [to assassinate].'
When he was asked to confirm the rebel group's request for parallel dialogue with the US, Iqbal said the dinner was already 'part of a parallel dialogue, because we have been in touch [with US officials]'.
Iqbal confirmed Bassett's report that he had implored the Americans to 'listen to how we feel. The Filipinos are the rulers and we [Moros] are slaves. It is a lopsided relationship'.
Both rebel negotiators worried over how negotiations would turn out under the next Philippine president since the dinner was held during a presidential campaign. Mastura recalled a member of then Senator Benigno Aquino's campaign had asked him if Aquino should have a policy on the peace process.
Bassett wrote: 'Unimpressed, Mastura replied, 'It's too complicated for Senator Aquino to understand'.'

Garbage collection is not disabled during an FFI call. In fact, it's difficult or impossible to disable GC at all. Finalizers registered with `register-finalizer', however, run in a separate Racket thread. So there's no particular guarantee that finalizers will run before a `collect-garbage' call returns. You might find that inserting a `sleep' call right after `collect-garbage' causes some of your finalizers to run. That doesn't seem like a great solution, though, and it may create other trouble if multiple Racket threads try to use BDD functions or kill off a thread using a BDD function. Another possibility is to use the lower-level functions provided in the C API, such as scheme_add_finalizer(). (If you register a Racket-implemented function that way, be sure to make it atomic, so that Racket-level threads do no swap during the call to the finalizer.)

I rebooted into TWRP recovery, Fixed Permissions, and the problem disappeared. However, after that, when I tried to install Apps from File Manager, it said Application Not Installed. I believe this has something to do with the partition thingy. Is there anyway I can overcome these problems?
The problem started when I wanted to install LiquidSmooth on my device. When I tried to do Nandroid backup through TWRP, it failed. Twice. So I used adb for the backup, but it was copying the whole block, 3-4GB+, was taking too much time, so I aborted it in the middle of the process. I then went to TWRP, and flashed LiquidSmooth without wiping (I forgot to wipe). The ROM didn't work, got stuck into Android is Upgrading, even after I wiped, still had the same problem. So I decided to restore my failed backup of the previous ROM (AICP). When rebooted, everything was crashing, System UIDs Inconsistent and stuff. Flashed PAC ROM, still the System UIDs problem, but fixed that with Fixing Permissions.
Is there anyway I can get my phone back to normal? Will I have to re-partition? What are the possible fixes?

Interim Director's Zone with Rick Land
I'm excited to begin 2010 working in District 7. Before starting my permanent Headquarters assignment as the Department's Chief Engineer, the majority of my Caltrans experience was in Structures, which is centralized in Sacramento. Serving as Interim District Director here in Los Angeles provides me with a valuable opportunity to see things from a different perspective.
When I arrived, it became immediately apparent to me that District 7 is filled with people who are capable, dedicated, and a pleasure to work with. Former District Director Doug Failing used to say that it's the combined efforts of everyone that has made District 7 such an excellent organization. Although an effective District Director plays a role, it's really the people behind the Director that make the difference. I couldn't agree more with his assessment.
Despite the challenges we've faced in the current economic climate, District 7 continues to deliver projects on time and within budget. That success is made possible not only by the key people in project delivery, but also by everyone in support services, IT, administrative areas, and those who work in the field.
That point was driven home for me and other members of the executive team during the holiday open houses held last month at the Sylmar Equipment Shop and Bandini Maintenance Yard. I had the privilege of meeting with people who work in construction offices, maintenance facilities, and equipment shops – people who are the face of Caltrans to the traveling public. These men and women are out on the freeways every day, risking their lives so that people can get where they're going. They do it in rain, snow, and the heat of August, often with traffic speeding by at more than 60 miles per hour.
Already this year they've dealt with snow at uncommonly low elevations on the Golden State Freeway (I-5) and the unstable slopes of Angeles Crest Highway (SR-2) following the Station Fire. Forecasters are expecting a wet winter, and I know our crews will handle it with the same dedication, skill and sense of pride they always have.
Meeting with field staff was encouraging and motivating for those of us who strive to make everyone's work in District 7 as enjoyable and meaningful as possible. It also gave us insight into the issues that matter most to employees, including the impact of furloughs, changes to work schedules, and other concerns related to the state's budget crisis. I want you to know that I understand the challenges you face, and your concerns will be communicated to Sacramento.
There will be no quick or easy resolution to California's budget woes, but I know that District 7 will continue its mission undaunted. It's been heartening to interact with employees in all divisions and to see the satisfaction they derive from their success with District 7's planning, project delivery, operations and maintenance. As we begin the new year, I want to thank all of you for your hard work and commitment to excellence. I'm looking forward to contributing to District 7's accomplishments in 2010.

The actor is the first name announced as the cast of the series which is part of a massive deal between Netflix and Marvel Entertainment.
"Boardwalk Empire" alum Charlie Cox has been tapped to play the central character of Netflix's "Daredevil". Cox is to portray the crime-fighting hero and his blind lawyer alter ego Matt Murdock for the network and Marvel's 13-episode drama series.
Cox is the first name that came up in the cast list of the series. Drew Goddard of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Lost" left the project as showrunner over the weekend, presumably to focus on the Sinister Six spin-off from "The Amazing Spider-Man". Replaced by Steven S. DeKnight of "Spartacus", Goddard, however, will remain as executive producer and consultant, THR reported.
"Daredevil" is part of a massive deal between Netflix and Marvel and is the first of the other projects to see the light. Netflix also picked up series on "Jessica Jones", "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage" and a miniseries on "The Defenders".
Cox was actually cast in two other TV projects that failed to materialize. He was first attached to lead a Wall Street drama on CBS but the project did not move forward. The same thing happened to the CBS drama pilot "The Ordained".

Stock Pick #2 – Jiangbo Pharmaceuticals
Recommended by: Robert Hsu, editor of Asia Edge
Founded in 2003, Jiangbo Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: JGBO) is a leader in drug development and manufacturing in China. The acquisition of competitor Hongrui in January 2009 increased Jiangbo's product portfolio from six to 28, and the company has recently received the final approval for production of its new Felodipine Sustained Release Tablets. The launch of this medication is expected to add +10% to +12% in forward sales. In addition, Jiangbo has three new products in the pipeline awaiting final SFDA approval, giving JGBO a bright future.
As for the company's financials, Jiangbo has a very healthy balance sheet. As of March 31, the company has almost $108 million cash, $186 million total assets and only $62.6 million total debt. That's stunning for a biotech firm. Compared to its current market cap of $116 million, the company is trading below its book value. The company grew revenue from $55 million in 2007 to $89.5 million in 2009. Considering the company's favorable numbers and great product development cycle, Jiangbo Pharmaceuticals is a great buy at current pricing.

If Cooper is unable to go, look for Lee Chmabers to get a bulk of the carries behind starter Javarris James. Mike James may also see more carries but he'll be the team's starting fullback again this week since starter Patrick Hill has been ruled out for this game.
The Canes are expected to be a bit short at safety for the second straight week. Starter Randy Phillips has been ruled out for the second straight week, while backup JoJo Nicolas has also been ruled out. Look for Vaughn Telemaque, Ray Ray Armstrong, and Jared Campbell to get the bulk of the reps at safety. Backup defensive back Ryan Hill has also been ruled out.
The Canes will be a bit short on the defensive line in this game as well. Two players, tackle Marcus Forston and end Steven Wesley, are listed as doubtful going into the game. With defensive ends Adewale Ojomo and Dyron Dye already out, it makes the depth up front a little shaky.
There is some good news along the D-Line, however. Freshman end Olivier Vernon, who was unable to play against Oklahoma last week, is expected back this week. He's listed as probable going into the game.
Freshmen Gavin Hardin and Shayon Green have both had season-ending surgeries and will miss the rest of the year. Reserve tight end Richard Gordon has also been ruled out and will miss his third straight game.

Gold. The very word conjures up images of opulence and feelings of comfort and joy. Why is gold such an attractive investment? Because of its short supply. The entire quantity of gold in the Universe can fit into a fairly large field. And the fact that it never tarnishes or depreciates in value: it is solid and inorganic. In this article, I analyze some of my best ideas in the gold mining industry. I provide my fair value estimate based on a discount cash flow analysis, assuming a $1600 per troy ounce gold price and a 10% cost of equity.
Goldcorp Inc. (NYSE:GG): This stock is priced at around $45. Its earnings per share is 1.97%, its price to earnings ratio is 23.08, and it also yields a dividend of .40%. Its market capitalization is $36.78 billion. Its debt-equity is 3.45 and current ratio is 3.82. Its growth for the past 5 years has been impressive at 29.38% per annum. Growth for 2012 is expected at 63.5% and 2013 at 29.5%, predicted to be sustained at 43.6% per annum for the next 5 years. Goldcorp met its 2011 cash cost estimates and target gold production. This shows the high quality of their mine portfolio. On a DCF basis, shares should trade around $60 apiece. Analysts have a high target of $78.50. In my opinion, management is competent, and is right to speak in optimistic terms about production. This, along with the concrete results, instills confidence, despite the slightly high debt-equity.
Yamana Gold Inc. (NYSE:AUY): You buy one share at $16 and get an earnings per share of $0.76 and a price to earnings ratio of 20.63, with a dividend yield of 1.30%. The market capitalization is $11.69 billion. Debt-equity is 5.86 and current ratio is 2.6. Its growth for the past 5 years has been a good 24.92% per annum: it is projected as 60.7% for this year and 26.5% for 2013. All good figures. Yamana is finally giving its shareholders cause for excitement after years of lethargy in an otherwise lustrous market. This company also attained its target gold production at the expected cost estimate. I trust in this company's ability to keep up its momentum, especially because of its growth figures and sound current and price to earnings ratios. I call this a Buy. It is very close to its 52-week high of $17.47 and I hope it breaks through that for you and reaches its estimated high price target of $23.00. On a DCF basis, I value shares at $20 apiece.
Randgold Resources Limited (NASDAQ:GOLD): With an earnings per share of $3.10 and price to earnings ratio of 35.06, you will pay about $108 for this share, its 52-week range having been around $70-$120. Dividend yield is a bit low for my liking at .2%. Randgold was named as a must-own gold stock for 2012. It was a top stock in 2011, showing a 26.4% return when the industry rendered 10%. Keep it up into 2012, Randgold. On a discounted cash flow basis, shares are worth $130 apiece. Randgold management has done a good job of managing cost growth over the last few years.
Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE:NEM): The price of its shares are approximately $63, its earnings per share is $4.39 and price to earnings ratio is 14.44. Its 52-week range was about $50-$72. Its market cap is $31 billion. Its debt-equity is 25.37 and current ratio is 1.42. Its past 5 year growth per annum was 34.8% and for the next 5 years it is projected at 15.55%. Its growth for this year is 17.4% and for 2013 is expected at 32.7%. With a high price target almost double of what it is now at $115, I call this share a Buy, despite its slightly high debt-equity. Its growth figures are great. With solid projects on the horizon, like its Minas Conga Gold Project which is to be commenced in Peru by 2015, Newmont can surely sustain its present growth and keep it going well into the future. It yields dividend of 2.2%, if you needed more incentive. Newmont is worth $70 per share on a DCF basis.
Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE:KGC): Pay about $12 for its shares. Its earnings per share is $.57, its price to earnings ratio is $22.12, and dividend yield is .9%. Its debt-equity is 9.51 and current ratio is 4.43. 2012 growth estimate is 41.4% and 2013 is 50%, again, awesome. Past 5 years' growth per annum is 16.48% and next 5 years' is 12.31% per annum. Its third quarter record results for 2011 were impressive: revenue exceeded $1 billion, adjusted operating cash flow was up 82%, and margins increased by 50% as was reported here. At this nice low price with sound and impressive fundamentals and a high price target of $30 (even its low target being good at $16) I call this great research candidate, and hopefully it can take care of its debt which is a trifle high. On a DCF basis, shares are worth around $18 apiece and are highly leveraged to the price of gold.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
