Hi Sitepoint gurus.
I just noticed in my Google Analytics for my art/writing community website that 5% of my users are vising my website using mobile. Is 5% high or low? At what point should I consider developing a mobile web version of my site? I don't mean developing an iPhone/Android app. I just mean a simplified web experience optimal for smaller screens/mobile friendly interface.
I'm not terribly interested in developing an app. That seems like a wasted effort since I'd have to maintain building more than one of them. Seems simpler to just make a web version.
I most likely wont modify the regular web experience to be more mobile friendly. PaperDemon is very content heavy and there's no way to change that. It makes more sense to make a mobile web version that takes out the less used features and simplifies the interface for browsing.
Thanks again everyone for your input.
The number of mobile users is going to increase and therefore if you have resources (time, money), you should definitely consider developing a mobile version.
5% is a decent proportion IMHO and this means, you would do it sooner than later.
If you look at Visitors -> Mobile -> Mobile Devices, how are your pages per visit, average time on site, and bounce rate compared to the rest of your visitors?
If your pages per visit are at least close to the rest of the sites numbers that's a pretty good indication that your site is not any harder to use on a mobile device than it is a desktop computer. It could be possible that only specific mobile browsers have a tough time with the current page. For instance, you might find that iPhone users have numbers inline with the rest of the sites visitors, but maybe Blackberry users are having a tough time because of their smaller screens.
Another thing worth looking in to is how many of these visitors are regular users who use the site from both their home/work computer and also from their mobile device while they're out and about. As far as I know, this isn't something that would be easy to track using just the default stats provided by Analytics. Considering the site appears to be a membership based site, maybe you could start a poll asking how many people browse from their mobile devices in addition to home/work computers.
5% is higher than normal for general sites, but for an artistic community site (likely higher than average apple/iPhone usage) would seem reasonable.I had a quick look at your site on an HTC Desire and it displays and can be used fine as it is. Whether a specific mobile only version is worth creating depends on what you think the benefit will be versus the resources to implement.
I forgot to mention why it's nice to know whether a large portion of your mobile users are existing desktop users. It's good to know because existing desktop users tend to already be familiar with the interface, so that can skew the comparison results you get from Analytics.
If people already know where things are, they're going to know how to get to them quickly even on a small screen. They're more likely to be going to inner pages than someone who comes from say, a search engine or social networking site and isn't familiar with the interface if the interface is tough to use.
Now, if you find out a large portion of the mobile visitors are your existing user base, it's definitely worth polling your members before proceeding with your mobile version of the site. Find out exactly which elements, if any, are giving them a tough time, and focus on improving those elements rather than creating an entirely new layout that leaves them wondering where things are.
Why dont you develop an iphone/android application?
Probably because he doesn't want people to have to download more clutter onto their device which isn't necessary?
If every website on the web had an app, it would be impossible to use your device.
With Millions of users each day buying new mobile devices that have decent web browsing capabilities it is a must to design with mobile users in mind.
Rather than concentrating on the percentage of mobile users that you already have, you should be looking at attracting the potential millions of mobile users by having a progressive design that works well on mobile devices.
My stats for pages per visit on mobile devices is:9.78 pagesSite Avg: 12.48 (-21.65%)
So it's close, which is good. But it looks like I may want to create a mobile specific interface. I think the desktop web experience might be too cluttered for mobile so I'll take a look at designing a mobile version.
Only thing is its another thing to have to build and maintain. Thanks everyone for the input. I had no idea if 5% was high or low so good to know.
While all of the above is correct, I personally feel there is a very obvious and simple answer that perhaps you should consider. You say that you have 5% of your overall visitors are browsing your website on mobile devices and you want to know when you should try and customise the experience to deal with their issues, the question you need to ask yourself is how many percent of visitors is too many for you to potentially lose out of not catering to their needs. Some people are happy to leave IE6 users out in the dark because they only have 1% of visitors using that browser, some people would be happy to dump 5%. What you need to establish is that every individual who visits your site seeking a mobile experience could be one potential customer you lose. While there isn't a right or wrong answer to how much is too much, it really depends upon whether you are willing to let that 5% potentially not use your site / services on the basis that you haven't dealt with their devices.

Angels edged out by Felix in Seattle
Iannetta homers for early lead, but Mariners ace prevails
SEATTLE -- For some odd reason, the Angels are one of few teams that have actually had a sizable amount of success against Felix Hernandez, winning 12 of their last 15 games with him on the opposing mound and pounding out 24 runs in 31 2/3 innings vs. the Mariners' ace just last year.
On Saturday night, though, the narrative changed.
In the third of a four-game series at Safeco Field, Hernandez carved up the Angels, pitching eight innings of two-run ball, retiring his last 14 hitters in order and setting the stage for Kendrys Morales' seventh-inning heroics to hand the Angels a 3-2 loss.
The Angels, who have lost three of their last four, are now 9-14 to start the season -- just one game better than they were through the first 23 games of last year's sluggish April.
"It's been a while since I beat those guys," Hernandez said after capturing his first win against the Angels since Sept. 6, 2011. "That's a pretty good lineup. My job was to go out and make good pitches and try to keep [Mike] Trout and [Peter] Bourjos off the bases. That's what I did."
Hernandez's counterpart, Joe Blanton, notched his first quality start of what has been a rough start to the season, giving up three runs in six-plus innings -- but in no way did he take that as a good sign.
Blanton once again flirted with danger throughout the night, scattering nine hits -- making it 30 consecutive innings with at least one hit this season -- while walking an uncharacteristically high four batters.
"I don't like walking guys, no matter what," said Blanton, now 0-4 with a 7.09 ERA in his first five starts. "I can live with myself when guys are smacking the ball all over the place and I'm throwing strikes. When walks beat you, you're basically beating yourself. That's something I really try to avoid, and I wasn't able to do it today."
For the first five frames, Blanton was able to work out of trouble -- particularly in the fifth, despite loading the bases with one out. But in the sixth, Jesus Montero ripped a two-run homer to tie the game. And in the seventh, Blanton began an inning that saw Seattle plate the winning run.
In search of some rare depth from a starter and dealing with a depleted bullpen, Angels manager Mike Scioscia had Blanton come out for the seventh with 104 pitches under his belt. But the 32-year-old right-hander proceeded to give up back-to-back, hard-hit singles to Kyle Seager and Michael Morse, prompting Scioscia to bring in lefty Michael Roth -- who was pitching for the University of South Carolina at this time last year.
Two batters later, Morales, the long-time Angels slugger who was traded for Jason Vargas in December, hit a pinch-hit RBI single to left field.
"It wasn't a great pitch," Roth said of the sinker that stayed out over the plate.
"At some point, these starters have to get deeper if we're going to get rolling the way we need to," Scioscia said of a staff that has completed seven innings only three times in 23 games. "Joe uncharacteristically walked guys tonight. That's not his M.O. That caused him a lot of extra pitches."
Josh Hamilton hit a one-out single against Mariners closer Tom Wilhelmsen in the ninth, then eventually stole second, but was left stranded after Mark Trumbo struck out and Howie Kendrick lined out to end the game.
The Angels had very few opportunities against Hernandez, but the ones they missed haunted them.
With Trout on second and one out in the first, Albert Pujols and Hamilton grounded out. And with runners on the corners and one out in the fourth, Brendan Harris laid down a suicide-squeeze bunt, but Hernandez made a nifty glove flip to nail down Trumbo at the plate.
After that, Hernandez basically became unhittable, retiring the next 13 hitters in order. He gave up runs on a Chris Iannetta solo homer and a Trout sacrifice fly, giving up five hits, walking one, striking out seven and lowering his ERA to 1.90 through the first five starts.
"He obviously pounds the strike zone," Trumbo said. "He's got command of at least three, maybe a fourth pitch, too. It's tough to have a rock solid plan with him out there. Today he seemed to be favoring more of a cutter. His changeup, I think he calls it, came on later, and that's what he used to get quite a few strikeouts, and he's got the power breaking ball as well."

THE 11,000 Victorian members of the Health Services Union could be forgiven for expecting a fresh start for their troubled union after bitterly fought elections last month.
But the internal dramas at the union appear likely to continue after a round of sackings overseen by newly elected Victorian secretary Diana Asmar.
On Thursday the Health Services Union's finance manager, appointed after the union was placed into administration last June, was removed.
It is understood Ms Asmar had demanded that she be given the ability to more easily control all spending by the union.
Ms Asmar is a former mayor of Darebin Council, which is being investigated by the Ombudsman over allegations of misconduct.
And while at least five industrial organisers and one other official were either sacked or quit last week, Ms Asmar has hired former Melbourne City councillor Kimberley Kitching on a temporary basis as the new general manager.
Ms Kitching is a lawyer who has previously worked for Brumby government treasurer John Lenders. She is also the wife of Labor blogger Andrew Landeryou, who was a supporter of Ms Asmar's hard-fought campaign to win control of the health union.
Both Ms Kitching and Mr Landeryou are close to Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten, who acted to have the Health Services Union put into administration last year.
Asked about the hiring of Ms Kitching, the union's new communications officer, Mark Donohue - a former adviser to federal Labor MP Richard Marles - issued a press release saying that the dysfunctional state the organisation had been left in meant there was a need for temporary staff to be brought in.
''What we do already know is that the HSU has been left millions of dollars in debt as a result of previous mismanagement, and the first priority for me is to ensure the survival of the Victorian HSU,'' Ms Asmar said in the statement.
Former official Marco Bolano, whom Ms Asmar defeated for the position of secretary of the union, said the sackings last week were a return to cronyism within the organisation.
''She has already breached union rules in her first week or two of taking office,'' said Mr Bolano, who was questioned by South Melbourne police late last week after he was stopped outside the union's office despite a restraining order Ms Asmar took out against him during the campaign.

Alternatives to Cow Milkby Toby Amidor in Healthy Tips, January 20, 2009
Don't like milk? Not a problem. There are many milk alternatives available these days — perfect for the lactose intolerant or folks looking to change it up. Here are some you might explore.
Soy Milk
This is the most common substitute. Products include soy milk, yogurt, butter, cream cheese, cheese, sour cream, and even ice cream (Tofutti Cuties are my childhood favorite!). Soy milk comes in several flavors, including plain, chocolate, cappuccino and vanilla. You can also get no-sugar-added varieties. Keep in mind that soy milk contains 100 calories and 4 grams of fat per cup. Choose a light soy milk if you're trying to cut back calories.
Rice and Almond Milk
Similar to soy milk but not always as readily available, rice and almond milk are other options. Many of these milks are fortified with calcium (a natural nutrient in cow milk) — check food labels to make sure you receive around 30% of your daily needs per serving. Rice milk is made from brown rice and has a whitish color and mild flavor. Almond milk, made from ground almonds, has a sweeter flavor. Both almond and rice milk come in plain, chocolate and vanilla flavors.
Coconut Milk
Derived from the flesh of the coconut, coconut milk also has a slightly sweet flavor. You often find it in Thai, West African, Hawaiian and West Indian dishes. Unlike the other alternative milks, coconut milk contains a significant amount of saturated fat so use it in moderation. It also has a strong flavor so add less to dishes. Light coconut milk contains about half the calories and fat of the regular version.
Substitution Tips
Soy, rice and almond milk work best as milk substitutes in recipes. Just follow a one-to-one ratio and stick to a plain or vanilla flavor for the closest match. You can add them to cold and hot cereals, coffee or hot chocolate. Use rice or soy milk to create a fruit smoothie. A simple glass of vanilla soy milk works well with a PB&J sandwich.
While it doesn't taste exactly like the original, soy cheese actually melts well — try it in lasagnas, grilled "cheese" sandwiches or on a green salad. Unlike regular cow or goat cheese, soy cheese contains no cholesterol. My friend once substituted half the cheese in her lasagna for soy cheese, and her family couldn't detect the difference.

Setting the stage:
For those of you looking for a quick read/preview of tonight's game against the Raptors, click here. At worst, the Timberpups will enter week 20 with a .500 record. From a 30,000 foot view, the week ahead is another great chance for the Wolves to make up some ground on the Mavericks and/or Suns. However, those teams keep chugging along. Friday night's action was a little insane for both the Wolves and Mavs who had 30+ point advantages and almost blew their performances by allowing their opponents to come back into the game.
The Wolves' defense needs to vastly improve over what they have been doing over the past few weeks. Only once in the last seven games (again, this is ahead of Sunday's game) have the Wolves held their opponent under 100 points; and it isn't like the team has been playing a murderers' row of opponents on the schedule (like their late November, early December schedule).
The Pups can't lose a game this week. There is no room left for a letdown game. After a Monday night game against the Clippers, the Suns will play six games in a row against Eastern Conference opponents. Read: the schedule eases up for them. The Mavs' schedule looks to be a bit more daunting this coming week with games in Golden State and OKC (as well as Utah).
So here we go with less than 20 games remaining on the schedule. Can the Wolves pull it off? It starts off with …
Game 64: Tuesday, 3/11, 7pm – Milwaukee Bucks @ Timberpups (TV: FS North)
Suffice it to say that the Bucks are not very good. They are floating around the .200 line in terms of win percentage and are merely 30+ games behind the Indiana Pacers for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Progress. Can we please move this team to Seattle under new ownership? This would also give the Wolves another opportunity to petition the league for switching conferences. Is anyone reading this against this plan?!
Opponent to watch:
Brandon Knight – Statistically speaking, Knight is having a pretty good season. Clearly, it isn't leading to many victories. We'll see how Ricky Rubio and JJ Barea look to contain Knight and his new PG brethren, Ramon Sessions.
Bucks in six? If the Pups lose this one, board up the Target Center and start working on renovations. Final score: Timberwolves 109, Bucks 95
Game 65: Friday, 3/14, 6pm – Timberpups @ Charlotte Bobcats (TV: FS North)
The Wolves' home-stand ends with a trip to Charlotte to take on the Bobcats. Charlotte will be coming in off of a game Wednesday night in Washington so they should be equally rested. The Pups destroyed the Bobcats in Minnesota in early January and there is nothing to suggest the results should be different for this game – unless you believe in the Bobcats ~.500 record at home this season.
Opponent to watch:
Al Jefferson – Al is back! Jefferson is putting up the normal 20+ppg/10+rpg … and his team remains under .500. No, I am not pinning this on Al, it is just an interesting correlation that continues to rear its ugly head. Will Kevin Love go off when facing his former mentor in Minnesota?
I wouldn't be surprised if the Wolves drop this one, and I won't be surprised if I'm bitching out JJ Barea while it happens. That said, I'm going to go with … Final score: Timberwolves 112, Bobcats 105
Game 66: Sunday, 3/16, 6pm – Sacramento Kings @ Timberpups (TV: FS North)
Sunday's game will conclude a 7 game road trip for the Kings and they are playing Saturday night in Chicago. Congratulations Timberwolves, you were finally handed a scheduling "gimme". Now, don't screw this up on your home court like that Knicks game from this past week.
Opponent to watch:
Isaiah Thomas – In two games thus far this season, Thomas has lit up the Wolves to the tune of 24ppg and 7.5apg, while shooting a scorching 59% from the field.
Again, the end of a long road tour for the Kings, who are playing in less meaningful games right now than the Wolves. (See what I did there?) Final score: Timberwolves 116, Kings 105
This week and the one prior really could have been the time for the Wolves to spark a little more excitement as we go through March. Unfortunately, that Knicks loss at Target Center was simply deflating. In any case, let's go Wolves!

THEY spilled blood together to help Canberra to their last premiership, but there will be no room for nostalgia as Ricky Stuart and David Furner ramp up their battle for Josh Papalii's signature.
While Parramatta coach Stuart was playing at Royal Canberra in his charity golf day on Monday, the Raiders officially began their quest to stop Papalii's defection to the Eels.
Canberra board member Terry Weber, a senior partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, met with corporate sponsors keen to help bolster Papalii's contract through third-party assistance.
Paramatta announced on Friday night they had signed the Raiders back-rower on a $1.5 million, three-year deal, beginning next year.
Under NRL guidelines, Canberra have until round 13 to change Papalii's mind, and club officials are privately optimistic they can do so.
Stuart's golf day raises money for autism research, a condition his daughter has, but he teed off at the media before doing so with his clubs.
He refused to discuss the Papalii situation, brushing aside reporters when asked about the contract stand-off.
Weber helped the Raiders re-sign star fullback Josh Dugan last year, and told Fairfax Media he would ''do everything possible'' to also help keep Papalii in lime green.
''Terry's influence, we're going to need that to get close [to Parramatta's offer],'' Raiders coach Furner said. ''That's why that rule [round 13] is in place, it gives the incumbent club the last possible chance.
''Terry's a big supporter of the Raiders and we're very happy about it, but it's going to take time.
''I said to him [Papalii] on Saturday he just has to be thinking about footy, and he assured me he'll be doing that. We're lucky to have that round 13 [clause], and we have an opportunity.''
Papalii is one of a host of Raiders stars off contract at the end of this season, with halfback Sam Williams, centre Jarrod Croker, second-rower Joel Thompson, hooker Glen Buttriss and prop Brett White heading the list.
The Raiders traditionally lock up required players well before contracts expire, but the fact the salary cap for this season was not settled until last week hindered those efforts.
Furner conceded the club is fighting an uphill battle to keep the squad intact, regardless of how the Papalii situation is resolved.
''Josh is still a priority, but we've got other priorities as well,'' Furner said. ''Those other players are priorities as well. We can get to a certain mark with Josh and we're hoping that all gets sorted out.
''I'd like to keep them all [but the] reality will be I probably can't. As players are playing more first grade and becoming better players with opportunities to represent … the reality is you can't. ''
The Raiders have been a vocal campaigner for junior concessions for some time, and Furner insists the idea has merit.
Furner said his team must guard against contract discussions becoming a distraction as they look to qualify for finals in consecutive years for the first time since 2003-04.

Some Chevrolet Dealerships Have Volt Revolt After Price Increase

Dealerships don't want to spend more on tools needed to service the Volts since sales for most are down
Select Chevrolet dealerships around the U.S. are ditching
the Volt
after General Motors (GM) hiked up the price of tools to service the vehicle.
Last year, dealerships spent $1,800 to $2,800 on tools that are required to service each Volt plug-in hybrid. However, GM has raised the price of these tools to $5,100. The reason? A battery-repowering tool that removes and ships sections of the Volt's huge 435-pound battery for repair instead of shipping the whole thing costs dealerships about $4,735. This makes up the bulk of the tool costs while a few others are needed as well.
Due to this price hike, some dealerships have decided to stop selling the Volt altogether. Some say their overall Volt sales just don't justify the additional cost.
Allyn Barnard, owner of Jim Barnard Chevrolet in Churchville, New York, is among those who feel that way. He has only sold five Volts since the vehicle's launch in late 2010/early 2011, and doesn't see the point in paying over $5,000 for the tools needed to service them.
"Going forward, the profitability would be really hard for us to justify the expense of the repair tools," said Barnard.
The Volt may have had a bumpy start with a few
production shutdowns
and issues with lithium ion battery fires during National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) testing, but
sales of the Volt have been very impressive
over the last year. During the first seven months of 2012, GM sold 10,666 Volt extended range electric vehicles for an increase of 270% compared to the first seven months of 2011.
However, Chevrolet then had a low November sales month due to low inventory. Chevrolet sold 1,519 Volts in November 2012, which represented a 33 percent increase over November 2011. But the number of cars sold in November was roughly half the number sold in October and September when the company sold 2,961 and 2,851 Volts respectively.
Chevrolet said this is a good thing, though, because it means
demand is higher than expected
As of December 2012, General Motors had sold 20,828 Volts for the year.
Despite these excellent numbers (Nissan was hoping to sell 20,000 Leafs in 2012, but fell way short), about 70 percent of Volt sales are generated by the 300 top-selling dealerships. There are about 2,614 dealerships certified to sell the Volt.

I found two vendors for the ALFA AWUS050NH at $49.99 and $42.20...
Are these decent prices?
what about WUSB54GC?
I have been reading on length about:
AWUS036H or AWUS050NH
(BT4 ofc)
I want a card that is as easy to use as possible - mainly using WEP encryption testing of keys.
That suggested the more stable (as I assume) AWUS036H.
However, most companies in Sweden use 802.11N - and regarding the driver problems on the AWUS050NH - I am now stuck in my research.
Is it better to get two cards - one for each area ie:
I am yet to find a stable card for WPA1/2 802.11N - As I havent found any reviews that actually point at a stable solution?
Would be most greatful for any links or advice - I rather just buy more cards+laptops than run separate scripts after each other when I go through infrastructure security.
Many thanks for a good forum!

A POWERFUL dance piece commemorating boys under the legal age of 18 who fought in the First World War will be performed on Saturday, April 5.
Boys and young men throughout Worcestershire have been working on a project that aims to encourage more males to dance.
Over six weeks, dance artists led by artistic director David McKenna of Beingfrank Physical Theatre have been working with boys and young men at five Worcestershire schools and with Sport undergraduates at the University of Worcester, on the Boys Dancing project.
Students from Bishop Perowne, Hagley and Nunnery Wood High Schools have all been involved with the project and will perform at College Hall, College Green, Worcester from 7.30pm.
The work will culminate in Our Brave Sons, a powerful and moving performance that looks at why so many young men lied about their age and signed up to fight in the First World War.
It will pay respects to the 250,000 boys under the legal age of 18 who volunteered to fight for their country but had no idea of the horrors awaiting them.
Boys Dancing is led by Beingfrank Physical Theatre and Warwick Arts Centre.
Dancefest, the dance development organisation for Herefordshire and Worcestershire, is managing the Boys Dancing project in Worcestershire for the first time this year in partnership with Worcestershire Dance Teachers.
Rose Beeston, Dancefest's manager, said: "Boys Dancing is a fantastic project to be involved with.
"Dancefest is seeing more and more boys and young men taking part in dance.
"This project has involved over 70 male dancers aged between 12 and 21 who have gained skills and strength as well as creating some great new dance. "The theme of World War One is providing some very moving material and the performance promises to be beautiful."
Tickets cost £2 and can be booked by contacting Dancefest on 01905 611199.
Some may also be available on the door.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team put their own final personal touches on a memorable 2011-12 season when the Lions hosted their year-end awards banquet on Tuesday night. The evening was an opportunity for the Lions' men's basketball team to honor their own players with team and individual awards that highlighted great teammates and performances.
Named the Sunshine State Conference's Coach of the Year in his first season at the helm, Head Coach Lance Randall guided the Lions to 18 victories (18-12) and a program-record 10 conference wins (10-6), despite being picked to finish last in the preseason. The Lions also earned the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth in 2012.
The Lions won nine consecutive games at one point, breaking a program record that dates back to 1987. Leading the conference in scoring defense, the Lions finished fourth in the nation, allowing just 58.7 points per game. Saint Leo also led the league in holding its opponents to a 39.6 percent field goal percentage, putting them 10th in Division II.
The awards handed out included:

By Betsy Hart | Scripps Howard News Service
The Sisterhood spoke last Tuesday, and exit polls show that it was clearly a big part of President Barack Obama's win. In particular, single women voted overwhelmingly for him, by a 2-to-1 margin. In contrast, married women supported Mitt Romney, though only by 7 percentage points over Obama (53 to 46 percent). The margins are such that, overall, women went for the president.
Because of the numbers at stake -- women typically vote at higher rates than men do -- had Romney been able to peel off just some of these percentage points, he would have won.
Many of my colleagues have pointed out that Obama worked hard to scare women into falsely believing they were going to have their birth control taken away. Women, I'm embarrassed to say, bought it. But it's more important to understand the much deeper issue -- that many unmarried women are likely looking to the government to be a "husband" of sorts to them, to provide for and protect them.
Just before the mid-term elections of 2010, having looked at exit-poll data from several previous election cycles that showed overwhelming support for Democrats from single women, I wrote:
"When we (women) don't have a husband, we pretty naturally look for a fallback for all kinds of protection and support. Enter Uncle Sam?"
The answer is, well, yes. So, unfortunately from my point of view, it appears that I was vindicated Tuesday night. By the way, single women are far more likely to be Democrats than single men, which makes this understanding of why single women vote the way they do even more credible. Also telling? Up until 1964, which was right about the time we began experimenting with public policies and cultural trends that would dissolve the family in subsequent decades, women as a whole were more likely to vote Republican than were men.
Sure enough, the first real gender gap showed up only in 1984. That year, a majority of all women voted for Ronald Reagan for president, just at lower rates than men. The trend continued, and by 1992, women as a group were voting Democratic. Still today, even though married women as a whole support Republicans, single women support Democrats by such a large margin as to statistically make our gender go to the Democratic camp.
Now, of course, comes the question: What can Republicans do? A return to a marriage-based culture is the path I would embrace most, as its benefits for women and children, never mind the electorate overall, would be profound. But, unfortunately, this doesn't seem likely anytime soon.
The more immediate hope may be that as younger single women become more economically secure -- and there is no doubt that is happening as such women today on average out-earn their male peers -- there is a hope for change. These women may well want to start keeping more of their own paychecks rather than turning them over to a ne'er-do-well husband like Uncle Sam.
Convincing these women to get rid of the lout may be the only real way to turn around this current electoral trend.
So, as Republicans lick their wounds and consider what to do next, they need to first understand why it is that single women vote so overwhelmingly Democratic in the first place.
I don't know about the right language to use when approaching the Sisterhood on this. But for all those single women looking to Uncle Sam to be a stand-in husband, there's just got to be a way to convince at least some of them that this is one case in which divorce is called for.

"This program was everything I'd hoped it would be. It is perfect and flawless in every way. If looking for a wedding program, I would highly recommend this one."
"Just love how easy it was to create our wedding programs and loved how quickly the designer got back with revisions and knew exactly how I needed it to look. Just couldn't be happier."
"I used this product for a 'schedule of events' for my destination wedding. The longer cut allowed me to fit all the information I needed in in regards to a 3-day schedule. The design team at Wedding Paper Divas adjusted the layout and text and transformed it into exactly what I was looking for. The quality is great and the design team got it done super fast."
"These turned out better than I thought they would. The paper was a high-end thicker cardstock that ended up being a hit at our ceremony. We personalized it to Navy for the cover, and added a pop of coral to headers on the inside. Wedding Paper Divas team is great and really worked with me on getting this to where I wanted it for our ceremony. So happy we choose them!"
"I took advantage of having a designer review the card for free for anything I didn't catch. However after getting the program in the mail I noticed a word was spelled wrong. I don't believe the designer review is nothing more than clicking that option to feel assured."

kmmatney - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkMy iPhone 5 generally takes as good (and more often better) pictures then my Wife's Canon Elph The Elph is a few years old now, but still a decent mid-grade PS camera. Besides the optics and sensor, maybe the computer horse power in the device makes a difference as well. Reply
eamon - Sunday, July 21, 2013 - linkThat's no my experience at all - optics matter, but are so heavily limited by physics that "quality" is largely determined by zoom/focal range/aperture choices. There are differences, but they're nothing like the differences in sensors - those differ dramatically. Reply
makken - Thursday, July 11, 2013 - link"11:12AM EDT - Simultaneously saves a 5 MP oversampled image at the same time, using up to 7 pixels from the sensor"
Interesting. Quality wise, how would this compare to HTC's method of using larger pixels (ie. 'Ultrapixel') Reply
secretmanofagent - Thursday, July 11, 2013 - linkProbably not as well in low-light conditions due to to the amount of light each pixel can absorb, but I would assume slightly better for other conditions (depending on how well the DSP handles information conflicts). Reply
skiboysteve - Friday, July 12, 2013 - linkNo. This will be better in all lighting conditions. 7 physical 1.12 micron pixels combined > 1 physical 2 micron pixel. Also it has much better OIS so shutter can be left open longer = more light. Even the 92x phones were competitive to the HTC one in low light and this is much better than that Reply
eamon - Sunday, July 21, 2013 - linkI think you're comparing apples to oranges. Of course a larger area is better, and 7x 1.12 micro is much larger than 1x micron. A more interesting comparison would be to a 3 micron pixel. Reply

garadante - Thursday, July 11, 2013 - linkAaaaand there goes any desire I had to look into this as an upcoming phone. AT&T? No thanks! I hate these carrier exclusives.

pandemonium - Friday, July 12, 2013 - linkWhy so much hate for AT&T? I've been with them for over a decade and they've always been awesome to me; $55/month with unlimited data. The only thing that sucks is going through rural areas that are exclusively Verizon towers and I get no signal (not a tremendously big deal since that happens 1% of my time?).
I don't understand the cliche'd hate for AT&T... Reply
garadante - Friday, July 12, 2013 - link$55 for unlimited data? That plan sure isn't offered here. AT&T doesn't offer unlimited data here and their plans are $10-30 more expensive than comparable T-Mobile plans, plus T-Mobile offers unlimited data. I'm guessing you're grandfathered into a plan which is good and great for you, but not for people who aren't. Reply
ghost6007 - Friday, July 12, 2013 - linkIt's called being "grandfathered" in. I don't like being tied down into a continual contact and being charged extra "fees" just because ATT feels like it.
I had them way back when they were CellularOne; after that my company had ATT iCraps for employee phones, bad coverage and even worse customer service.
Never again. Reply
pandemonium - Saturday, July 13, 2013 - linkYes, I am grandfathered in, but you're both wrong. And everyone assumes you have to be grandfathered in to get this deal.

BPB - Saturday, July 13, 2013 - linkThe only way I was able to get a good AT&T plan was to go through my company's account, so now I have a business account, and I would prefer one like yours. But I don't think you can do that anymore, and if you could, $55 a month just for the data portion is a lot of money. Reply

edlee - Thursday, July 11, 2013 - linkif camera quality really mattered to the people the are better suited for an SLR camera.
Most people now take pics on their phone they can share on vine/insta/fb.
And those are all low res platforms, so I dont see any significance in this device. Reply
pandemonium - Friday, July 12, 2013 - linkThe significance is several fold:
- the fact that the quality of those pixels from this smartphone compared to all other smartphones is much higher
-you'll ALWAYS have your phone on you...
-less to worry about than carrying around all of your SLR and its gear, or even a P&S
It's not about being the best camera. It's about being the best camera for a platform which is excelling at convenience and connectivity (the smartphone). Why buy several devices when you can have all of them combined into 1, and still function at a reasonably acceptable level, if not excel?
Of course, if you're a professional, this is a silly argument. Though, there are plenty of professional photographers out there that will admit that they didn't have their serious gear with them when they had to resort to taking a shot with their smartphone... Right there we have a powerful smartphone camera coming into play, even for a professional.
Have you looked at the range in photo quality on popular media sharing sites? It's dramatic. I can instantly tell when someone shares a shot from a DSLR and when someone shares a shot from a smartphone. The funny thing is, my N8 'still' produces pictures way above average on Facebook.
And, no, it's not exclusively about the resolution capturing from this phone.
There are several reasons why 41MP is useful here (as an aside to the larger sensor):
-digital zoom/review won't be as poor
-image cropping with pixel binning rewards in a higher quality, lower resolution photo
-cropping in general isn't rendered unusable
And no, you don't have to use all of the picture quality reduction filters on Instagram to share a photo on there. I don't know why people think that's necessary. It's retarded.
You're limiting your comprehension of what a smartphone is capable of doing with saying that the majority of smartphone users only share their photos with low-resolution services. Think a little outside the box here. This is where this phone will be amazing...for those that can and will do that. If more people start taking better photos, the quality of those shared sites will have higher demands place upon them and the standards will increase. You can't increase the boundaries if you think that there are limits to the way things work.
Push the boundaries and say screw the norm. Reply
LarsBars - Thursday, July 11, 2013 - linkWith the price at $300 on contract, I would have expected 64GB of storage, and possibly even SD card support. Also, if AT&T is anything like it was last year, I would almost expect the grip to be thrown in as a pre-order gift. The lack of wireless charging isn't a deal-breaker, but it is puzzling seeing as how the device is probably somewhat weighty already.
TL:DR version: For the premium price I think this phone is missing some premium features. Reply
yas - Thursday, July 11, 2013 - link11:17AM EDT - Elop is dishing on the Galaxy S 4, iPhone 5, and showing how good the 1020 freezes motion with xenon flash....
Why did they not use the HTC One in this comparison.. would it be just like the 1020 or even better than the 1020....... Something to think on. Reply
skiboysteve - Friday, July 12, 2013 - linkUh no. The comparison was a low light picture of people jumping in the air. Without xenon flash every photo will be crap due to the slow shutter speed. HTC one would have been not as bad as GS 4 or iPhone 5, but its shutter speed would still have been orders of magnitude longer than the 1/25000 you get with xenon flash so it would have been blurrrrfest Reply

Kill16by9TN - Friday, July 12, 2013 - link"The 1020 uses ball bearings around the housing and magnetically driven motors in its OIS system"
Amazing, they just discovered that each and every electric motor is based on magnetism! How else would it function? But it's reassuring, that they finally got rid of the smoking internal combustion engine used in the previous models.
The interesting, yet unanswered question is however, if they use linear/voice coil motors or traditional ones with a rotating gear or spindle drive. Reply
eamon - Sunday, July 21, 2013 - linkWell, there do exist some exotic motors based on piezoelectric materials effect, and at small scales straightforward static charge attraction/repulsion is practical too :-). Reply
ghost6007 - Friday, July 12, 2013 - linkYeah, AT&T; as much as I want this phone, not happening. Reply
scaramoosh - Saturday, July 13, 2013 - linkPixel pitch of 1.1, sensor size is way smaller than the 808, looks by around 50% smaller in total surface area than the 808. Looking at the full resolution shots on my PC, they seem really noisy as a result, something that the 808 doesn't have.
Be interesting to see if they fixed the amp glow issues of the 808 and if OIS makes a big difference at night for ISO, though if the amp glow issues aren't fixed then ISO will be just as useless and the low light performance will suck worse due to the tiny pixel pitch and loss of sensor size. Reply
Braumin - Saturday, July 13, 2013 - linkThe 808 was actually FSI, and this sensor is BSI, so they are claiming it has comparable sensitivity even with the smaller sensor size.
Of course, reviews will let us know if this is the case or not. Reply
scaramoosh - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkIt isn't the case, they use BSI because lightguide below a pixel pitch of 1.4 is hard or impossible to do. They had to reduce the pixel pitch to keep the MP at 41mp for obvious marketing reasons.
Basically what it means and from evidence I've seen, the 808 takes better full resolution photos, the 1020 looks really noisy and so will be the case under using ISO or low light in general.
Where the 1020 pulls it back is in averaging pixels, however there you lose resolution and that's why Nokia are so keen to show 5mp/8mp.
Tbh I could buy a BSI sensor at 8mp on any of the other phones with a pixel pitch of 1.3 like the iPhone 5. BSI hasn't proved itself to be worthwhile, it's just good to reduce the size. You don't see bigger sensors use it, for a reason it has its own downfalls and it's less reliable and harder to manufacturer.
The sacrifice made for OIS, I personally don't think OIS in mobiles has proven to be very good either. Reply

PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- The National Football League hasn't scheduled a regular-season game on a Saturday afternoon in eight years. The last time it played a regular season game on a Saturday, the NFC-leading Atlanta Falcons pounded the 4-10 Detroit Lions in a 2012 Week 16 matchup that was the lowest-rated NFL game of the year for ESPN.
This year, there are no Saturday games on the schedule at all -- and that's a shame for everyone involved.
The Sports Broadcast Act of 1961 gave the NFL its antitrust exemption and set the groundwork for its television blackout rule, but it also prevented the NFL from televising games on Saturdays during college football's regular season. When that season ended, the NFL used to make the most of it by broadcasting games on Saturday afternoons and evenings and taking advantage of the encroaching holiday season.
Since the inception of the NFL Network and the league's fascination with Thursday Night Football, the Saturday game has been relegated to the preseason and the playoffs. There were only eight Thursday night games per season from 2006 through 2011, but the league expanded Thursday Night Football to a 13-game slate in last year. That didn't count the three other games being played on Thanksgiving this year to give the NFL 16 Thursday games overall in 2013.
What Thursday Night Football offers the NFL that Saturday network broadcasts don't is a mainline of money it doesn't have to share with pesky partners. The NFL Network can't pull in the nearly $5.50 per month that research firm SNL Kagan says ESPN gets from satellite and cable customers. It can, however, fetch second-best $1.34 per month, up from less than $1 last year, after beefing up its slate of Thursday games. That alone should bring in more than $1.1 billion in revenue, or 56% more than the channel produced last year.
Meanwhile, the NFL has already seen enormous returns on NFL Network ad sales. In 2011, the last year of Thursday Night Football's eight-game slate, SNL Kagan says the network took in $99.6 million in ads. That jumped last year to nearly $201 million thanks to extra games. RBC Capital Markets analyst David Bank projected in AdWeek that NFL Net will book as much as $335 million in ad sales commitments this year, a 67% gain.

This expensive ram, all expensive ram has a horrendous price to performance ratio and I think that's what you're asking. You're talking about 3-5% performance increases from the very best ram to the cheapest Kingston Value Ram.. It's amazing people readily spend 100-200% more money for 3-5% more performance. In fact I can't think of a poorer cost/benefit ratio of parts inside computers than in expensive ram, though SCSI, EE's, FX's come close.
Anyway check out toms, he did such a review last year. Reply
Aelius - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkIt seems RAM is still the Achilles heel of the A64.
Do you guys plan to review the OCZ PC3700 Gold Rev 3 and OCZ EL PC4000 Gold Rev 2?
It might not bring anything to the table for A64 but from talking to OCZ and some minor early review leaks by them I get the impression that they think the new Hynix chips will perform much better then previous chips on A64.
Worth reviewing anyway. Especially since it includes the first PC4000 RAM that can run 2.5,3,3,6 at only 2.6 volt at stock speed. Reply
Wesley Fink - Friday, August 20, 2004 - link#11 - To keep results as consistent as possible we have always set BIOS on the P4C800-E with Performance Mode on Auto and Performance Acceleration on Auto. We do not test memory or overclocks with either of these options enabled.
#14 - The manufacturers tell us heatspreaders cool memory, but I am not a believer. I find memory is often cooler without heatspreaders, but I have no objective proof for this claim. Heatspreaders do a good job of hiding the name of the memory chip maker. A high output heatsink fan nearby or a fan over the memory modules cools memory better than any heatspreader I have seen. Reply
Wesley Fink - Friday, August 20, 2004 - link#13 - We did Doom 3 week with Doom 3 benches on every CPU and video card we could find. We have no plans of using Doom 3 for memory testing. You will see Doom 3 benchmarks in future video card tests at AT. We are also considering using Doom 3 in future motherboard tests. Reply
Visual - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkWesley, thank you for your response.
It seems then that anyone not about to overclock the ram much is better off saving some bucks going with value RAM, or getting larger capacity modules instead of lower-latency ones...
Due to lack of money I've already decided against the low-latency modules, I'd be looking forward to a possible Value RAM shootout at this site :)
Another question popped in my mind seeing comment #12... Do RAM heatspreaders actually help the cooling, when overvolting or not, or are they just for decoration?
Thanks a bunch!

manno - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkwhy does Anandtech refuse to post Doom 3 benches? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! :) Reply
PrinceGaz - Friday, August 20, 2004 - link#5 and #6- you must have read my mind as I considered asking exactly the same having read the article this morning. We get to see how all these premium sticks perform at various speeds but I'd be very interested to know how the cheap ones compare.
Wesley- although its possible to guesstimate the performance of various brand-name PC3200 ValueRAM / CAS3 or CAS2.5 modules, actually testing them is the only way to get a reliable figure. More importantly it should give some guide as to whether they are able to overclock to any useful extent, and at what timings and reasonable voltage increases. I don't think any of us would want to stick 3V into a stick of cheapo (but brand-name) PC3200 without a heat-speader if we wanted it to last for an extended period, but upping the voltage to 2.7 or even 2.75 isn't going to harm any module.
I'm sure a lot, maybe even the majority of AnandTech readers use budget or intermediate RAM for price/performance reasons rather than the premium sticks which are usually reviewed, so it would make sense including at least a few of the major brands. Reply
TRDACH - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkWesley,
The Asus P4C800-E is the motherboard you have been using in recent memory reviews.
Can you please tell me what bios setting you are using for the "Turbo" option under the JumperFree Configuration Menu and what setting is being used for the "Performance Acceleration Mode" option under the Advanced Chipset settings Menu. Reply
Wesley Fink - Friday, August 20, 2004 - link#5 & #6 -
The info you are looking for is already in the charts but it takes a little digging. The Samsung PC3700 (DDR466) performed at 2.5-3-3-5 timings at DDR400 in our tests. Comparing the Samsung 3700 results at DDR400 to any of the DDR400 2-2-2 results should give you a very good idea of the performance impact of 2.5-3-3 timings compared to 2-2-2.
All of the memory reviews have a Performance page that lists timings at each speed, and the Samsung performance chart is at http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=199... We used 4x256MB modules in testing the Samsung, but we have already shown in past memory articles that 4SS performs the same as 2DS dimms. The performance penalty comes with 2SS modules on an Intel platform.
We are planning a Value RAM shootout in the future which should directly address your question. Reply
qquizz - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkexcellent read thanks Anandtech for the useful info Reply
Avalon - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkForgot to mention it was tested on an A64 rig. If you've got an AXP rig, lower latency might mean more. I should go test it out...
Anyway, great article Wes! It's good to see Geil come out near the top. They make some great memory and are very under-recognized sometimes. Reply
Avalon - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkI forget where I saw it, but I did see latency compared in a Doom 3 article. Low CAS 2 latency benefitted over CAS 2.5 by giving you roughly 2-3% more framerates. Which added up to about 1 frame. Since I can't quite remember where I found it, take this with a large boulder of salt :P Reply
ciwell - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkI am wondering the same thing as #5. It would be very interesting to see a comparison between the Value RAMs and these.
Anyways, great article. Reply
Visual - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkThis isn't really in the goals of this article, but I'm wondering, is the extra-low latency worth it at DDR400?
Could you include a slow(Value RAM) memory from Kingston, Corsair or other, running at CAS 2.5 and 3 for comparison?
I really wanna know if the extra $100 or so for a low-latency ram would give me noticeable difference. Reply
pookie69 - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkMr Fink!!!! Another GREAT READ!!!! I so LOVE these memory articles of yours. SO informative and give much food for thought.

Wesley Fink - Friday, August 20, 2004 - link#1 - Corrected. We are missing our Web Editor who is taking a well-deserved vacation.
#2 - You make an interesting point. I was leaning toward Samsung TCCD chips, particularly based on the poorer overclocks on Athlon 64, but I agree there are some timings at certain speeds that don't really fit. Hynix also exhibits poorer A64 overclocks compared to Intel, so it is a possibility. Reply
Zebo - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkNice work Wes. To bad we don't know what chips they have...I'm leaning twards hand picked Hynix that can do 2-2-2 @ 200 by the way it mirrors it's brothers at higher bandwidth...in addtion to it's bandwidth. Reply
KingofCamelot - Friday, August 20, 2004 - linkJust a couple of things you might want to fix, on the bottom of page 2 it has the title "OCZ PC3200 Platinum Revision 2 Specifications" which should be "Geil PC3200 Ultra X Memory Specifications". Also on page 4 at 557DDR speed the Quake3 fps is missing a decimal and is listed as 43486 instead of 434.86 fps. Other than that great review, awesome looking ram man! Reply

New Labour was very fond of appointing business figures to ceremonial jobs as a way to convince the world that they understood enterprise.
It was also a cunning device to create diversionary "good news" when events were not going to plan. The trend reached its surreal peak when Gordon Brown appointed Alan Sugar as Lord Sugar and made him enterprise tsar – on the day that the beleaguered Labour prime minister was almost toppled by an uprising of his own ministers.
In the post-CSR environment, David Cameron and his team are determined to foster a climate of upbeat events and news stories to shift the focus off the deepest cuts for a generation. This may explain why the prime minister was planning to unveil a new wave of "trade ambassadors" next week to co-incide with a trip to the Far East. This news management has alas been spoiled this evening by FT columnist Mark Kleinman (also business editor of Sky) who reveals on his blog* that Richard Lambert, the outgoing director-general of the CBI, is one of them.

Topic: If my blood tests are CT scan are OK...
I will be taking part in a clinical trial called "A Phase I Study of Capecitabine in Combination with SIR-Spheres in Patients With Advanced Cancer."
Obviously Fox Chase came though and found me something.
The gist of the treatment is planting Sir-Spheres, tiny little radioactive beads, as close to the liver is possible. These beads are "hot" for about two months.
Along with this "planting" I will take Capecitabine (2 pills daily) for 14 days. There's a break for 7 days. Then the pills begin again for 14 additional days.
There's a plethora of possible side effects including nausea, mouth sores and pain the hands and feet. Oh yes, and fatigue. I'm a pro at that one.
We're meeting with the doctor who is overseeing the study on Monday afternoon.
Sir-Spheres is a registered trademark of Sirtex Medical Limited and the study is sponsored by them.
Bruce said we'll be able to use me as a nightlight.

A MAN was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation after an explosion and fire at the garage of his home in Canford Heath.
Hotel chef Richard Howard, 50, was working on his Honda 650cc motorcycle in Mapperton Close when the incident took place late yesterday afternoon.
His wife Carole said: "We had just bought a gas fire with a bottle and believe there was a build-up. My husband was working on his bike in there. He told me all he knew was that there were flames on the floor."
Steve Gossling, who lives nearby, said: "I came out straight away. A fireball came flying out of the garage."
Shannon Tanner said: "We heard bangs and thought someone was trying to break in. We were told to shut all the windows. It was scary."
Poole Grammar School student Josh Samways, who lives nearby, went to take pictures as fire crews fought the blaze. "We saw a thick black cloud of smoke," he said.
Four fire engines attended and crews stayed there damping down after the flames had been put out. Police cordoned off the road. Mr Howard was given oxygen by ambulance crew and was taken to hospital to be checked over.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - Florida Highway patrol troopers have reopened Interstate 95 in Ormond Beach after smoke from a brush fire had it closed most of the day.
Troopers said they had to shut down a portion of the Interstate because of brush fire smoke that was blowing east from a wildfire off Shedd Lane.
Officials said the brush fire flared up Saturday afternoon and quickly spread because of gusty winds.
Firefighters with Volusia and Flagler counties are working a 1,000 acre brush fire, called the Durrance fire, near Ormond Beach, officials said.
Saturday evening, officials lifted most of the evacuations orders. All but 50 homes are protected and safe, officials said.
Officials said the original evacuation included about 300 homes in the Southern Pines subdivision, the Deep Creek section of Hunter's Ridge and other areas.
Troopers said they shut down northbound and southbound traffic between mile markers 270 and 272 near State Road 40 Saturday afternoon.
Smoke could be seen blowing directly over the interstate, forcing troopers to shut down the road.
Officials said the fire has reached 1,000 acres and was 75% contained Saturday evening.
Traffic remained backed up for several miles on 95, but troopers will remain to monitor conditions.

Pretty simple: Magic Number is 3.
Get three points, and they're in. Get two points tonight and Carolina has to win out and get help (a Devils regulation win Saturday). And, despite terrible injury to Callahan, let's try to remember that this team just beat Philadelphia and Boston back to back and is 10-3-1 in its last 14 overall and 5-0-1 in its last six at home.
No pruchas tonight. Rangers have 20 healthy bodies. So same lineup, other than Callahan out and Gilroy in on the wing, and possibly some D.
Awards ceremony pre-game, at approximately 7:06 p.m. Including the Steve McDonald Extra Effort award (wonder if Prust or Callahan wins it; either is a great choice) and the team MVP award (got to be the goalie, no?).

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo junior attackman George Proechel ripped a shot from long range between the pipes with eight seconds left on the clock, scoring the game-winning goal as the men's lacrosse team defeated Pfeiffer University 8-7 in regional action. The win advances the Lions to a record of 3-3, while the Falcons drop to a mark of 4-3 on the season.
Earning a big win on the evening was goalie Patrick Berry, who made 12 key saves on the night to help keep Pfeiffer off the scoreboard. The Pasadena, Md. Native walked away from the night with four ground balls and two of the Lions' four caused turnovers.
Leading the team in scoring was Proechel, with four goals on the night, including three in the final eight minutes to help lift the Lions to victory. Ray Ferrara netted two goals on the night, with Kevin Hutchinson pulling in two points with a goal and an assist. Chris Caiazza scored a man-up goal to complete the goal count, with Ty Trombley dishing out an assist as well.
Beau Bescancene came up big in the midfield for the Lions, pulling in six ground balls. Trombley, Sean Connolly, Dylan D'Airo, and Kevin Hutchinson won three balls apiece off of the ground, as well. Trombly walked away from the evening winning 9-of-16 faceoffs, with Robert Hutchinson coming up perfect, winning 3-of-3 faceoffs, helping the Lions win 12-of-19 attempts.
Saint Leo's man-down defensive unit held Pfeiffer to a success rate of just 40 percent on their man-up opportunities.
The Falcons saw scoring from Justin Rose and Steven Tilmon with two goals, and James Shepherd, Luke Gillespie, and Robert Hope with one each. In cage for Pfeiffer, Hayden Kirk set aside nine shots while yielding eight, five of which came in the final 11 minutes of the game.
It was a slow first quarter for both teams, with only one goal put on the scoreboard as Gillespie placed a shot between the pipes with 1:21 remaining in the period. Pfeiffer entered into the second stanza with a goal from Tillman at the 12:36 mark, but neither team could make things happen for another nine minutes. PU's Hope scored with 3:48 to go before the half, pulling the Falcons out to a 3-0 advantage, but the Lions were not about to back down.
Caiazza placed a shot past Kirk with 2:03 on the clock on a man-up opportunity. Trombley won the ensuing faceoff for Saint Leo, and fed a pass to Proechel who scored the Lions' second goal of the night with 1:58 before the break, leaving Saint Leo down by just one with a score of 3-2 at the break.
Pfeiffer pulled ahead to a 6-2 lead with 4:43 remaining in the third quarter, but a goal from Kevin Hutchinson pulled Lions to within three with 1:57 before the final period. Pfeiffer exploded into the final quarter with a goal from Tilmon 14 seconds into the period, pulling the Falcons out to their largest lead with a score of 7-3. Despite Pfeiffer's early momentum, the Lions fought back, and a goal from Ferrara off of an assist from Hutchinson with 10:42 to go pulled Saint Leo to within three, 7-4.
Proechel scored the following two, setting the score at 7-6 with 5:01 remaining, setting up Ferrara for the game-tying tally with 1:14 on the clock.
With the clock counting down, Saint Leo held possession and looked for the sweet spot. A shot by Matt Obermeyer was blocked in front of the cage, but Caiazza grabbed the ground ball with 18 seconds remaining to help keep the Lions in contention. A quick swing of the ball around the box found Proechel with possession with less than 10 seconds to go, and with a hard rip from long range the Orlando, Fla. native found the back of the net with eight ticks to go.
Saint Leo won the subsequent faceoff, and despite Pfeiffer's best efforts to get the ball back, held onto possession for the win. The Lions ended the game leading the shot count 36-32, as well as the ground ball battle 31-25. Saint Leo was 19-for-21 on clears, while the Falcons found success on all 18 of their clear attempts.
The Saint Leo men's lacrosse team returns to action on Wednesday, March 14, when they take on Mars Hill College in Deep South Conference action. Game time against the Lions is set for 2 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and information on the Lions, visit saintleolions.com.
