Connecticut Diminished Value
In Connecticut, the statute of limitations on torts is 2 years, this means that you need to file suit against the at fault driver within 2 years of the accident.
If the insurance company is offering you an unfair loss in value amount, you need to hire an independent appraiser to rebut their valuation.
You can also escalate the claim by contacting the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner.
To get the process started and to get a free estimate, please fill out the form below.

(3) Defamation. Making, publishing, disseminating or circulating, directly or indirectly, or aiding, abetting or encouraging the making, publishing, disseminating or circulating of, any oral or written statement or any pamphlet, circular, article or literature which is false or maliciously critical of or derogatory to the financial condition of an insurer, and which is calculated to injure any person engaged in the business of insurance.

(6) Unfair claim settlement practices. Committing or performing with such frequency as to indicate a general business practice any of the following: (a) Misrepresenting pertinent facts or insurance policy provisions relating to coverages at issue; (b) failing to acknowledge and act with reasonable promptness upon communications with respect to claims arising under insurance policies; (c) failing to adopt and implement reasonable standards for the prompt investigation of claims arising under insurance policies; (d) refusing to pay claims without conducting a reasonable investigation based upon all available information; (e) failing to affirm or deny coverage of claims within a reasonable time after proof of loss statements have been completed; (f) not attempting in good faith to effectuate prompt, fair and equitable settlements of claims in which liability has become reasonably clear; (g) compelling insureds to institute litigation to recover amounts due under an insurance policy by offering substantially less than the amounts ultimately recovered in actions brought by such insureds; (h) attempting to settle a claim for less than the amount to which a reasonable man would have believed he was entitled by reference to written or printed advertising material accompanying or made part of an application; (i) attempting to settle claims on the basis of an application which was altered without notice to, or knowledge or consent of the insured; (j) making claims payments to insureds or beneficiaries not accompanied by statements setting forth the coverage under which the payments are being made; (k) making known to insureds or claimants a policy of appealing from arbitration awards in favor of insureds or claimants for the purpose of compelling them to accept settlements or compromises less than the amount awarded in arbitration; (l) delaying the investigation or payment of claims by requiring an insured, claimant, or the physician of either to submit a preliminary claim report and then requiring the subsequent submission of formal proof of loss forms, both of which submissions contain substantially the same information; (m) failing to promptly settle claims, where liability has become reasonably clear, under one portion of the insurance policy coverage in order to influence settlements under other portions of the insurance policy coverage; (n) failing to promptly provide a reasonable explanation of the basis in the insurance policy in relation to the facts or applicable law for denial of a claim or for the offer of a compromise settlement; (o) using as a basis for cash settlement with a first party automobile insurance claimant an amount which is less than the amount which the insurer would pay if repairs were made unless such amount is agreed to by the insured or provided for by the insurance policy.
(7) Failure to maintain complaint handling procedures. Failure of any person to maintain complete record of all the complaints which it has received since the date of its last examination. This record shall indicate the total number of complaints, their classification by line of insurance, the nature of each complaint, the disposition of these complaints, and the time it took to process each complaint. For purposes of this subsection "complaint" shall mean any written communication primarily expressing a grievance.
(8) Misrepresentation in insurance applications. Making false or fraudulent statements or representations on or relative to an application for an insurance policy for the purpose of obtaining a fee, commission, money or other benefit from any insurer, producer or individual.
(9) Any violation of any one of sections 38a-358, 38a-446, 38a-447, 38a-488, 38a-825, 38a-826, 38a-828 and 38a-829. None of the following practices shall be considered discrimination within the meaning of section 38a-446 or 38a-488 or a rebate within the meaning of section 38a-825: (a) Paying bonuses to policyholders or otherwise abating their premiums in whole or in part out of surplus accumulated from nonparticipating insurance, provided any such bonuses or abatement of premiums shall be fair and equitable to policyholders and for the best interests of the company and its policyholders; (b) in the case of policies issued on the industrial debit plan, making allowance to policyholders who have continuously for a specified period made premium payments directly to an office of the insurer in an amount which fairly represents the saving in collection expense; (c) readjustment of the rate of premium for a group insurance policy based on loss or expense experience, or both, at the end of the first or any subsequent policy year, which may be made retroactive for such policy year.
(10) Notwithstanding any provision of any policy of insurance, certificate or service contract, whenever such insurance policy or certificate or service contract provides for reimbursement for any services which may be legally performed by any practitioner of the healing arts licensed to practice in this state, reimbursement under such insurance policy, certificate or service contract shall not be denied because of race, color or creed nor shall any insurer make or permit any unfair discrimination against particular individuals or persons so licensed.
(11) Favored agent or insurer: Coercion of debtors. (a) No person may (i) require, as a condition precedent to the lending of money or extension of credit, or any renewal thereof, that the person to whom such money or credit is extended or whose obligation the creditor is to acquire or finance, negotiate any policy or contract of insurance through a particular insurer or group of insurers or producer or group of producers; (ii) unreasonably disapprove the insurance policy provided by a borrower for the protection of the property securing the credit or lien; (iii) require directly or indirectly that any borrower, mortgagor, purchaser, insurer or producer pay a separate charge, in connection with the handling of any insurance policy required as security for a loan on real estate or pay a separate charge to substitute the insurance policy of one insurer for that of another; or (iv) use or disclose information resulting from a requirement that a borrower, mortgagor or purchaser furnish insurance of any kind on real property being conveyed or used as collateral security to a loan, when such information is to the advantage of the mortgagee, vendor or lender, or is to the detriment of the borrower, mortgagor, purchaser, insurer or the producer complying with such a requirement. (b)(i) Subsection (a)(iii) does not include the interest which may be charged on premium loans or premium advancements in accordance with the security instrument. (ii) For purposes of subsection (a)(ii), such disapproval shall be deemed unreasonable if it is not based solely on reasonable standards uniformly applied, relating to the extent of coverage required and the financial soundness and the services of an insurer. Such standards shall not discriminate against any particular type of insurer, nor shall such standards call for the disapproval of an insurance policy because such policy contains coverage in addition to that required. (iii) The commissioner may investigate the affairs of any person to whom this subsection applies to determine whether such person has violated this subsection. If a violation of this subsection is found, the person in violation shall be subject to the same procedures and penalties as are applicable to other provisions of section 38a-815, subsections (b) and (e) of section 38a-817 and this section. (iv) For purposes of this section, "person" includes any individual, corporation, limited liability company, association, partnership or other legal entity.
(12) Refusing to insure, refusing to continue to insure or limiting the amount, extent or kind of coverage available to an individual or charging an individual a different rate for the same coverage because of physical disability or mental retardation, except where the refusal, limitation or rate differential is based on sound actuarial principles or is related to actual or reasonably anticipated experience.
(13) Refusing to insure, refusing to continue to insure or limiting the amount, extent or kind of coverage available to an individual or charging an individual a different rate for the same coverage solely because of blindness or partial blindness. For purposes of this subdivision, "refusal to insure" includes the denial by an insurer of disability insurance coverage on the grounds that the policy defines "disability" as being presumed in the event that the insured is blind or partially blind, except that an insurer may exclude from coverage any disability, consisting solely of blindness or partial blindness, when such condition existed at the time the policy was issued. Any individual who is blind or partially blind shall be subject to the same standards of sound actuarial principles or actual or reasonably anticipated experience as are sighted persons with respect to all other conditions, including the underlying cause of the blindness or partial blindness.
(14) Refusing to insure, refusing to continue to insure or limiting the amount, extent or kind of coverage available to an individual or charging an individual a different rate for the same coverage because of exposure to diethylstilbestrol through the female parent.
(15) (A) Failure by an insurer, or any other entity responsible for providing payment to a health care provider pursuant to an insurance policy, to pay accident and health claims, including, but not limited to, claims for payment or reimbursement to health care providers, within the time periods set forth in subparagraph (B) of this subdivision, unless the Insurance Commissioner determines that a legitimate dispute exists as to coverage, liability or damages or that the claimant has fraudulently caused or contributed to the loss. Any insurer, or any other entity responsible for providing payment to a health care provider pursuant to an insurance policy, who fails to pay such a claim or request within the time periods set forth in subparagraph (B) of this subdivision shall pay the claimant or health care provider the amount of such claim plus interest at the rate of fifteen per cent per annum, in addition to any other penalties which may be imposed pursuant to sections 38a-11, 38a-25, 38a-41 to 38a-53, inclusive, 38a-57 to 38a-60, inclusive, 38a-62 to 38a-64, inclusive, 38a-76, 38a-83, 38a-84, 38a-117 to 38a-124, inclusive, 38a-129 to 38a-140, inclusive, 38a-146 to 38a-155, inclusive, 38a-283, 38a-288 to 38a-290, inclusive, 38a-319, 38a-320, 38a-459, 38a-464, 38a-815 to 38a-819, inclusive, 38a-824 to 38a-826, inclusive, and 38a-828 to 38a-830, inclusive. Whenever the interest due a claimant or health care provider pursuant to this section is less than one dollar, the insurer shall deposit such amount in a separate interest-bearing account in which all such amounts shall be deposited. At the end of each calendar year each such insurer shall donate such amount to The University of Connecticut Health Center.
(B) Each insurer, or other entity responsible for providing payment to a health care provider pursuant to an insurance policy subject to this section, shall pay claims not later than forty-five days after receipt by the insurer of the claimant's proof of loss form or the health care provider's request for payment filed in accordance with the insurer's practices or procedures, except that when there is a deficiency in the information needed for processing a claim, as determined in accordance with section 38a-477, the insurer shall (i) send written notice to the claimant or health care provider, as the case may be, of all alleged deficiencies in information needed for processing a claim not later than thirty days after the insurer receives a claim for payment or reimbursement under the contract, and (ii) pay claims for payment or reimbursement under the contract not later than thirty days after the insurer receives the information requested.
(C) As used in this subdivision, "health care provider" means a person licensed to provide health care services under chapter 368d, chapter 368v, chapters 370 to 373, inclusive, 375 to 383c, inclusive, 384a to 384c, inclusive, or chapter 400j.
(16) Failure to pay, as part of any claim for a damaged motor vehicle under any automobile insurance policy where the vehicle has been declared to be a constructive total loss, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the settlement amount on such vehicle plus, whenever the insurer takes title to such vehicle, (B) an amount determined by multiplying such settlement amount by a percentage equivalent to the current sales tax rate established in section 12-408. For purposes of this subdivision, "constructive total loss" means the cost to repair or salvage damaged property, or the cost to both repair and salvage such property, equals or exceeds the total value of the property at the time of the loss.
(17) Any violation of section 42-260, by an extended warranty provider subject to the provisions of said section, including, but not limited to: (A) Failure to include all statements required in subsections (c) and (f) of section 42-260 in an issued extended warranty; (B) offering an extended warranty without being (i) insured under an adequate extended warranty reimbursement insurance policy or (ii) able to demonstrate that reserves for claims contained in the provider's financial statements are not in excess of one-half the provider's audited net worth; (C) failure to submit a copy of an issued extended warranty form or a copy of such provider's extended warranty reimbursement policy form to the Insurance Commissioner.
(18) With respect to an insurance company, hospital service corporation, health care center or fraternal benefit society providing individual or group health insurance coverage of the types specified in subdivisions (1), (2), (4), (6), (10), (11) and (12) of section 38a-469, refusing to insure, refusing to continue to insure or limiting the amount, extent or kind of coverage available to an individual or charging an individual a different rate for the same coverage because such individual has been a victim of family violence.
(19) With respect to an insurance company, hospital service corporation, health care center or fraternal benefit society providing individual or group health insurance coverage of the types specified in subdivisions (1), (2), (3), (4), (6), (9), (10), (11) and (12) of section 38a-469, refusing to insure, refusing to continue to insure or limiting the amount, extent or kind of coverage available to an individual or charging an individual a different rate for the same coverage because of genetic information. Genetic information indicating a predisposition to a disease or condition shall not be deemed a preexisting condition in the absence of a diagnosis of such disease or condition that is based on other medical information. An insurance company, hospital service corporation, health care center or fraternal benefit society providing individual health coverage of the types specified in subdivisions (1), (2), (3), (4), (6), (9), (10), (11) and (12) of section 38a-469, shall not be prohibited from refusing to insure or applying a preexisting condition limitation, to the extent permitted by law, to an individual who has been diagnosed with a disease or condition based on medical information other than genetic information and has exhibited symptoms of such disease or condition. For the purposes of this subsection, "genetic information" means the information about genes, gene products or inherited characteristics that may derive from an individual or family member.
(20) Any violation of sections 38a-465 to 38a-465q, inclusive.
(21) With respect to a managed care organization, as defined in section 38a-478, failing to establish a confidentiality procedure for medical record information, as required by section 38a-999.

'Lights Passing' Exhibition at ROM Gallery for art and architecture, Oslo, Norway.
LIGHTS PASSING focuses on images from Norway, the Steilneset Memorial in Vardø by Peter Zumthor and the Hamar museum by Sverre Fehn, and delves into Binet's personal interest in space and shadow through a series of images including works by le Corbusier, the Observatory in Jaipur and the Lunuganga Estate by Geoffrey Bawa in Sri Lanka.
"The light and shadow of the observatory in Jaipur is telling us the time, the seasons, predicting the monsoon but also positioning the human being in relation to very big dimension. The light and the shadow as a tool to understand the world. In the Couvent Sainte-Marie de la Tourette, light and shadow are the path to the liturgies and the only ornament in the cell of the father. They are collected in little box, maybe a place to catch dreams. In Sri Lanka the light doesn't change very much over the season and the gardener will regulate his daily activity just by looking where the different shadings are appearing. In the Steilneset Memorial in Vardø, on the 26 of June, 97 lights are burning with no night. The long and stretch building is remembering the pain of women and men. Time is not given by cast shadow but by the sense of infinity convey through soft and diffuse light, present and past are merging. Time is not anymore linear. Memory and present are confused, as the ruin of the fishermen structure in the nearby." -Hélène Binet

Reading Landscape: Contemporary Landscape Photography is a forthcoming exhibition at the Architectural Association (London, UK) in which Hélène's work will feature alongside the work of Sue Barr, Bleda y Rosa, Stephen Gill, Uta Kögelsberger, Anna Leader, Edgar dos Santos, Corinne Silva and Eva Stenram.
"Reading Landscape presents a selection of contemporary photographers who work in the realm of the uninhabited. The photographers on show read rather than record landscape and their authorial presence is often felt in the images – a set of photographic lights, a flare thrown into the night sky, dust gathered in the studio. Some of the photographs articulate the unease we feel when confronted with rural landscape, denying us the comfort we find in the density of the built environment.
Other photographs show landscapes that we may take for granted, whose history belies a less sanguine past. Originating in the early seventeenth century, the word landscape was initially a painters' term describing natural scenery; only 300 years later did it come to refer to the land itself. Reading Landscape explores this gap between the real and the revealed: the space between, where our dreams and fears reside." (text: Architectural Association)

Drag for 360 view
The liners come with 3MTM ThinsulateTM Insulation to keep feet warm and responsive even in extremely cold and damp conditions.
As our boot sizes get bigger, the level of support in the cuff changes and so does the level of flex. That way, while a kid's skiing style is developing and they're getting stronger, they always get the 100% support they need.
The buckles on our kids boots feature a narrower catch which stops the buckles from contacting each other.
If you feel at home on the piste and you're looking to follow your heroes into the powder – you'll need a pair of Atomic Waymaker JR 4 ski boots. The compact 4-buckle construction will keep your feet snug and well supported, while the full-on 3M™ Thinsulate™ Insulation in the Junior liner will keep your feet warm and responsive wherever you go. The boot now comes with a Size Adjuster that adds an extra half size to the boot when you need it. And like all our junior ski boots, the Waymaker JR 4 comes with a progressive flex and cuff design, offering a medium to strong support. So whatever stage you're at, it's easy to take your skiing to the next level up.

Festival Preview
Laughs Out of Thin Air
Duke City Improv Festival at The Box
Parents eager to teach their children teamwork might sign them up for sports.
But a kid can learn the same lesson by practicing improv.
Kristin Berg, artistic director at The Box Performance Space, says sticking together is improv's most crucial component. "It focuses on teamwork and working toward a common goal," Berg explains. "Improv gives kids the freedom to think for themselves and make big choices, and then learn to trust those choices they make."
Youth is a key ingredient in the third annual Duke City Improv Festival. Three of the 14 teams at this year's festival are composed of actors too young to vote. Berg says these teams understand how to think fast and keep the show rolling. "When they're doing a show and somebody screws up, they have two choices: They can either point out the mistake or keep going," Berg explains. "Improv teaches them to keep going."
Ten Albuquerque teams and four national acts (from Phoenix, Denver and Chicago) will elicit laughs on the fly during the festival. Three of the visiting ensembles will also teach their craft during workshops on musical improv, group dynamics and the importance of just having fun.
Burque teams will compete for the coveted first-place rubber chicken prize in the Tour de Ha—a short-form improv contest in the mold of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
For theater-goers with their attention spans still intact, there's long-form improv. "Long-form is more like a one-act play," Berg says. "We have puppet improv, 'Star Trek' improv and musical improv. There are all different styles."
The Duke City's One Night Stanleys choose to go without a theme. Steve Lucero and the other three Stanleys rely on the audience and an ability to draw inspiration from next to nothing. Lucero says he and his teammates each get one word from an audience member. They then go into short monologues based on the audience's suggested verbiage. "We either tell a story or ramble on for a few minutes and, from those monologues, we get ideas for the rest of the show," Lucero says. "We create different scenes for the next 40 or so minutes, and that's it in a nutshell."
With any good improv, it's not about how much information you glean from the audience, Lucero explains. It's about faith in your compatriots. "We don't know where any scene is going," he insists. "If somebody says I'm a duck, then I just say I'm a duck and we roll with it and continue on. If you trust each other and work a lot together, you can see where they're going and go along with them."
Lucero also contends a good team member doesn't always try to force jokes. Sometimes it's about setting up your partners. "You don't have to try to be yuk-yuk funny," he says. "Even when I'm not necessarily the funny one in the scene, I might be providing one of the team members with a characteristic that he can run with."
Lucero plans on taking in many of the festival's acts, especially the national ensembles he hasn't seen before. "I'm looking forward to seeing what other people are doing around the country," he says. "I'll be secretly judging them and comparing us to them and seeing if we're as good or better or worse than them."
Each year the festival has continued to blossom. There are more people in the seats and more squads participating, Berg says. "I'm excited to see that the improv community in Albuquerque is finally beginning to grow," Berg says. "For a long time, we saw a lot of the same faces on a lot of teams. There would be one guy on five teams, and we'd see him over and over again. Now we're seeing new people."

When No No-Hitter is a Good Thing and Other Bullets
Well, it seems I was overly optimistic in my proclamation yesterday that everything was groovy in the Taylor household. Not only did the ladies deal with some resurgent symptoms yesterday, I, myself, have started to feel the icy specter of sickness creeping up next to me. So far I've been able to fight it off, but we'll see what the day holds. (Update, as this (and a soon to be completed Michael Bourn piece) is taking me forever to write: I feel awful.)
- Vine Line looks back at Edwin Jackson's crazy 2010 no-hitter, which saw him walk seven and throw 72 pitches … through the first three innings. He ended up throwing 149 pitches for the game, which is something I hope Dale Sveum never, ever, ever lets him do. He's already got a no-hitter, after all.
- Vine Line adds a wrap of Luis Valbuena's impressive season in Venezuela.
- Keith Law chatted yesterday, and offered a few prospect-related thoughts: (1) talking about a Javier Baez plus other prospects not named Albert Almora or Jorge Soler (because they can't be dealt until mid-season) trade for David Price is "silly"; (2) on the possibility that Brett Jackson's swing changes will make him at least a 4th outfielder caliber player: "It's not impossible, but it is unlikely that these swing changes – which haven't appeared in a game yet – will help him boost his contact rate to a playable level" (utterly absurd – even at his insane 41.5% strikeout rate of last year, I can make a pretty good argument that he's already a plausible 4th/5th outfielder when you factor in the rest of his skills); and (3) Anyone who thinks Dan Vogelbach can someday play left field is "living in an alternate reality." Law doesn't even think he'll ever be able to play first base.
- Law did have some kind things to say on his most recent podcast with Eric Karabell, pointing out that the Cubs going after Edwin Jackson is a reflection of their belief that they need pitching for 2014 as much as for 2013, and there might not be as good of an option available next year. Pretty much what I've been saying for the past month now: the Cubs have an eye toward being competitive in 2014, and they're starting to accumulate pieces to that end.
- Don't find yourself showing up in a Baseball Prospectus piece like this one, which looks at ridiculous trade proposals involving Giancarlo Stanton.
- And don't find yourself acting too raucously after a Cubs win next year, especially if you plan on meandering through neighborhood streets in Wrigleyville.
- Details on the DeJesus Family's upcoming charity event.

The Reformed Church of Hungary is the "mother" of the Hungarian Reformed churches in America, and the only one of the original national churches of the Reformation to survive undivided and dedicated to the Reformed confessions. One of the largest of the Reformed or Calvinist communions, it lives on in present-day Hungary, its neighboring countries (torn off Hungary after WW I), and Diaspora (dispersed around the world, including the USA). Although organized into independent national and regional synods, all subscribe to the Heidelberg Catechism and the Second Helvetic Confession along with the original ecumenical creeds of Trinitarian Christianity.
At the end of the Nineteenth Century, tens of thousands of Hungarians immigrated to the United States, bringing with them their Bibles, Catechisms, and Hymnals. While some developed a church life and new congregations independently, other Calvinists as the German Reformed and the Dutch Reformed, aided others and the Presbyterians, establishing new congregations affiliated with them. After WW I, an effort was made to merge them, without success.
The independent churches organized a new Classis in 1896, relating to the Reformed Church in Hungary, for moral and financial support. After the tragic division of Hungary following the 1st World War, its churches were unable to continue their support of the smaller congregations in the USA. The Reformed Church of Hungary then assigned its Classis churches to the Reformed Church in the United States (former German Reformed), signing the Tiffin Agreement on Oct. 7, 1921. Several of the congregations rejected the terms, and soon afterward organized a "Free Hungarian Reformed" (HRCA) group, and those tied to the Dutch Reformed and Presbyterians remained in those communions.
At first, the Hungarian churches were incorporated into the area Synods, but a new Magyar Synod was created in 1939, following the 1934 merger of the Reformed Church and the Evangelical Synod of North America (with Lutheran roots), which created the Evangelical and Reformed Church.
The Magyar Synod was not created simply to establish a "Hungarian Language" Synod. Instead, it emerged to allow the Hungarian Reformed Churches to maintain their Calvinistic/Reformed theological and confessional heritage. The merger with the German Evangelical Church threatened to dilute the heritage of the Hungarian churches by incorporating Lutheran doctrines and traditions that had been forced upon the Reformed Church in Germany.
Another merger with the Congregationalists in 1957 gave birth to the United Church of Christ. Subsequently, the Magyar Synod's name was changed, reflecting its faith heritage, to Calvin Synod.

I'll call it Zoe's Button Hat.
Despite the pained smile she's offering, she does like it, and so do I.
For the grown up version, I'll go with bigger cables, not sure what kind yet. I'll also use flatter buttons, so you don't get the ear-antenna effect she's loving here, and I may make the button band wider as well. It's hard to see the band from the hat on her head, but it looks pretty cute in real life.

Selecting Seed for Success Dr. John F. Bradley Conservation Tillage Specialist Monsanto Company
AS CROPS ARE being harvested and yields are calculated, planning must begin for the 2001 crop production year. Growers should decide which varieties or hybrids to plant in the spring as early as November or December. There are several reasons why it is a good idea to `book' orders with seed companies early. Early ordering improves your chances of obtaining the varieties with the most desirable traits and adaptability to your area. If orders are placed early, growers can sometimes save money and may also have the option to have their dealer custom apply seed treatments. Seed treatments may include insecticides, fungicides or both.
When choosing varieties and/or hybrids, the criteria which should receive the highest priority is yield. Normally, growers want to select varieties/hybrids that perform above the average for a number of years. It's a good idea to pay attention to University recommendations on varieties. University recommendations of varieties are usually not issued until a variety performs above the average for at least three years. It is also worthwhile to look at variety tests conducted by local extension services, seed companies and your own on-farm comparisons.
Other factors to consider when selecting seed for your farm are the type of tillage system you are using and seed company purchase programs, term conditions and partnerships. It is also a good idea to pick two or three varieties with different rates of maturity for each crop. Following are some guidelines to use when choosing cotton and soybean varieties and corn hybrids.
Cotton Variety Selection Lint yield is the most important factor to consider when selecting cotton varieties. Try to select a variety with high yield potential and consistency. Another important factor to consider is the fiber quality of the variety. This includes characteristics such as fiber strength, length, uniformity, micronaire and percent gin turnout.
Depending on the growing conditions on your farm and your production system, it may be necessary to choose a variety with certain herbicide-tolerant or insect-tolerant traits. Varieties containing the Roundup Ready[R] trait provide excellent weed control options, particularly in conservation tillage and ultra narrow row cotton. If insect populations are high on your farm, try using the insect-tolerant Bollgard[R] varieties that protect cotton against bollworm, budworm and pink bollworm. For effective control of weeds and insects, order the stacked-gene varieties that contain both Bollgard and Roundup Ready technologies.
Other characteristics worth examining when choosing cotton varieties for your farm are disease resistance or tolerance, nematode resistance, picking or stripping ease, seedling vigor and the plant's ability to withstand storms (especially in coastal areas). Diseases that certain varieties may be able to protect your crop from include Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, bacterial blight, seedling disease, Ascochyta blight and bronze wilt. Once you know what you are looking for in a variety, your seed selection should be based on availability, quality and the desired seed treatments available for that variety.
Soybean Variety Selection There are literally hundreds of soybean varieties from which to choose. These varieties differ in yield potential, maturity date, growth characteristics, lodging and shattering susceptibility, disease resistance and tolerance to herbicides. All of these characteristics are important, but the number-one criteria for variety selection in soybeans is yield. Fortunately, there are high-yielding varieties available in all maturity groups. The soybean varieties you choose should be the varieties that are the best match for your farm situation. Choose soybean varieties that offer the most yield potential for your tillage system, soil type and row width. It's also a good idea to review county tests, university trials or company trials to find out how these varieties perform in your area.
The second most important characteristic to examine when choosing soybean varieties is whether or not they are herbicide tolerant or Roundup Ready. Last year over 54 percent of the U.S. soybean crop was planted in varieties containing the Roundup Ready gene. The Roundup Ready gene facilitates economical, simple and crop safe weed control.
Roundup Ready soybeans are an excellent choice if you are planning to use a no-till or conservation tillage system in the coming year. Certain varieties of Asgrow soybeans have been labeled "Residue Proven[TM]" because of their proven performance in no-till and reduced-tillage conditions. Varieties appropriate for the south contain the Roundup Ready gene, enhanced disease tolerance, resistance to soybean cyst nematode, and have excellent emergence and seedling vigor.
Another very important factor when choosing soybean varieties is maturity. Varieties of different maturity groups will extend the harvest period to allow for more acreage to be harvested per combine and to serve as a hedge against adverse weather conditions. In recent years, better varieties have been developed for the Mid-South in maturity groups IV and V. These varieties can be planted early in the season (April) and have the potential to increase yields by avoiding dry weather and high temperatures in late summer. It is important to note that most of these varieties need to be planted earlier than later maturity groups in order to reach their full yield potential.
Another important characteristic to look for when selecting soybean varieties is soybean cyst nematode resistance (SCN). If soybeans are not grown in rotation with non-host crops such as corn, cotton and/or milo, it becomes even more crucial to have SCN resistance. Examine soil samples for SCN in the fall and determine which races are present in your fields. Then, select varieties with SCN resistance to those races.
Other characteristics to consider when selecting soybean varieties are plant height, lodging rating, shatter rating, root knot nematode tolerance and disease resistance. Some varieties are resistant to diseases such as stem canker, sudden death syndrome, and frogeye leaf spot. Select high quality seed with at least 80% germination.
Corn Hybrid Selection When selecting corn hybrids, consider some of the same characteristics that you would take into account when choosing soybean varieties, such as yield and maturity. In addition, think about what type of technology traits are necessary for good yields from corn planted on your farm. Many hybrids also feature the technology of Roundup Ready. If your corn typically suffers from infestation by insects, you may want to consider hybrids that contain the insect-tolerant YieldGard[R] gene, which protects corn against European and Southwestern corn borer. By ordering stacked-gene corn, you can receive the benefits of both the YieldGard and Roundup Ready traits.
Other characteristics to consider that are unique to corn are stalk strength, ear tip cover and virus resistance. Look for hybrids that may offer resistance to maize dwarf mosaic virus, corn stunt and the virus-microplasm complex, which could drastically reduce yields in years when conditions favor disease development. As always, it is a good idea to talk to your local dealer or county extension agent, and to review university tests and comparisons on your own farm before ordering.
Grain/commodities harvested from Roundup Ready[R] corn and Roundup Ready corn with YieldGard[R] is approved for U.S. food and feed use, but not yet approved in certain export markets where approval is not likely to be received before the end of 2001. As a result, the Grower is restricted from introducing such grain/commodities into channels of trade where the potential for export to such markets exists. The Grower must channel such grain/commodities for feeding on farm, use in domestic feed lots or other uses in domestic markets only. Growers should refer to Monsanto's Technology Use Guide for information on crop stewardship regarding the potential movement of pollen to neighboring crops. For assistance in locating domestic outlets for all other corn grain/commodities, view the ASTA web site at www.amseed.org or contact Monsanto at 1-800-768-6387.

There were 358 deaths by suicide in San Diego County in 2008. Twenty-nine of these were ages 15-24. This makes suicide the third leading cause of non-natural death in this age group behind unintentional injuries and homicides. In its Youth Risk Behavior Survey of 1,667 students in 31 San Diego Unified School District high schools in the spring of 2009, the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 13.9 percent of the respondents had seriously considered attempting suicide in the previous 12 months, and 6 percent actually attempted suicide at least once. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) says that suicide can be prevented because most people who are suicidal give some warning to a friend or family member. Thus, parents can prevent suicides by their children by learning to recognize the signs of a child at risk, taking those signs seriously, and knowing how to respond to them. More than 90 percent of the people who kill themselves are suffering from one or more psychiatric disorders. These include depression, substance abuse and dependence, eating and personality disorders, etc. These are both recognizable and treatable. Although most depressed people are not suicidal, most suicidal people are depressed. Signs of depression include the following:
- Feeling hopeless, helpless, worthless, sad, or empty
- Self-reproach or excessive or inappropriate guilt
- Feeling angry or moody
- Excessive crying
- Loss of interest in things that used to be fun
- Avoiding friends or feeling alone when with friends
- Change in sleep patterns
- Change in appetite or weight
- Intense anxiety, agitation, or restlessness
- Fatigue or loss of energy
- Decreased concentration, indecisiveness, or poorer memory
Other warning signs of person considering suicide are:
- Talking, reading, or writing about suicide or death
- Visiting friends to say good-bye
- Engaging in risky or self-destructive behavior. e.g., drug or alcohol abuse
- Giving things away
- Acquiring means of killing oneself, e.g., buying a gun, stockpiling pills or drugs, etc.
If your child threatens suicide you should call the San Diego County 24-Hour Crisis Line at (888) 724-7240 immediately. Otherwise if you observe any of these signs you should start by talking to your child. Express your concerns, ask what the problems are, and listen to what your child says. You should help your child understand that his or her problems are temporary and can be solved with the help of a physician or mental health professional. And then get that help. If medication is prescribed, make sure it is taken and be alert for possible adverse side effects. And if it is not effective, ask the physician to prescribe another one. For more information go to the AFSP's website at www.afsp.org.

Usually, the Humble Bundles include a little surprise halfway through, and Humble Bundle for Android 4 is no exception. Though I suppose if it's predictable, it's not a real surprise, is it? Well, what the surprise winds up being is unknown. Well the surprise this time is something Xzibit could be proud of. Humble heard you like Humble Bundles, so they put a Humble Bundle in your Humble Bundle 4 so you can bundle while being humble. Or something like that. The point is that Humble Bundle for Android 2 is now included in the Humble Bundle for Android 4.
For those that pay above the average (as of publication, it was around $6.40), you can get the game that launched a million mobile endless runners, Canabalt HD (with 3D graphics!), Zen Bound 2,the best family-friendly game about tying things up available on the market, side-scrolling real-time strategy game Swords and Soldiers, gear-shifting puzzle game Cogs, and retro PC RPG revival Avadon: The Black Fortress (for tablets only). Those who didn't pay above the average can up their payment in order to unlock these games and Machinarium. The games still come with DRM-free downloads for computers, APKs for Android, and Steam codes. These bundles are great for charity as well as developers – Waking Mars creator Tiger Style games reports "having made some decent scratch" thanks to their inclusion in this bundle. The Humble Bundle 4 ends next Thursday on the 22nd.

Marcus Lattimore, RB South Carolina
Why He Will
After destroying SEC competition as a freshman in 2010, Marcus Lattimore was on pace to do some incredible things in South Carolina before a knee injury prematurely ended his sophomore season. In just seven games, the powerful 6'1" 232-pounder compiled 1,000 all-purpose yards and totaled 11 touchdowns. Indications out of Columbia are that his knee is healed and ready to go this fall, and if that's true the Gamecocks have one of the most destructive weapons in college football. With the late emergence of Connor Shaw under center last season, opposing defenses won't be able to load the box against Lattimore and the South Carolina ground game. This could bode for the tailback, allowing him to reach that second level more often where he can use his rare combination of size and speed to run through defenders en route to a Heisman trophy.
Why He Won't
A full return to form is far from guaranteed. ACL injuries have ruined football careers in the past, and while Lattimore still has a lot of football left in him there's a chance he won't be 100 percent for this upcoming season. And while Shaw's presence in the pocket works to Lattimore's advantage, his ability to move outside the pocket doesn't. In the six games Lattimore missed Shaw scored eight rushing touchdowns, and there's a good chance he'll steal some of Lattimore's red zone touches regardless of health. Fewer touchdowns, fewer first place votes.
Tyler Wilson, QB Arkansas
Why He Will
No Ryan Mallet? No problem. Tyler Wilson replaced Mallet in Arkansas' potent air attack last season and didn't miss a beat. The senior threw for over 3,600 yards and 24 touchdowns in his first season under center, leading a Razorback offense that was without one of the SEC's most dangerous tailbacks, Knile Davis. At 6'3" 220 pounds, Wilson has an imposing pocket presence and big-time arm. His career 62.8 completion percentage is the best in school history, and his 11 wins last season were tied for the most by an Arkansas quarterback. With options like receiver Cobi Hamilton and tight end Chris Gragg returning to the Razorbacks sideline, Wilson could be in for another big year under center in Fayetteville.
Why He Won't
Despite the supporting cast that returns around him, there's just no replacing three NFL-bound receivers. Jarius Wright, Joe Adams and Greg Childs are all gone, and with them will go nearly two-thirds of Wilsons passing yards and 15 touchdowns. There's no denying Hamilton has the makings of a stud and is probably bound for the NFL in his own right, but it's difficult for one wide out to make up for the production of three. Also, with Davis returning to the backfield we should see a more balanced Arkansas attack this season. While his presence should open up things downfield for the accurate quarterback, it will also take some of the yards out of the passing game as well.
Jadeveon Clowney, DE South Carolina
Why He Will
South Carolina coaches will tell you that Jadeveon Clowney didn't have a feel for the game last year and that he was learning on the fly for much of the season. The quarterbacks he terrorized might tell you a different story. The defensive end tore offenses apart during his prolific freshman season, with eight sacks, six quarterback hurries, 12 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles. Now a year into his collegiate career, Clowney should be ready to step into more of a leadership role on a tough Gamecock defense. The rumor out of Columbia is that he could see some time at linebacker this season as well, and at 6'6" 260 pounds he could be an absolute menace at the position. It's Clowneys unlimited talent, versatility and big-time playmaking ability that make him one of the most elite defensive forces in college football.
Why He Won't
He plays defense. In over 75 years of recognizing the best talent in college football, only Charles Woodson has won as a primarily defensive player, but he also doubled as a big-time return man. Several have gone to New York: Tyrann Mathieu was a finalist last year, Ndamukong Suh went two years before him, but only Woodson actually brought home the hardware.
Tajh Boyd, QB Clemson
Why He Will
Looking at everything but his age, it would have been hard to tell 2011 was Tajh Boyd's first season as Clemson's starting quarterback: over 3,800 yards through the air, 38 total touchdowns, wins in his first eight starts, first team All-ACC honors, an ACC Championship and an Orange Bowl berth. With returning weapons like Sammy Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins and Andre Ellington around him, there's no reason the junior shouldn't improve upon last year's breakout campaign and establish himself in the upper echelon of collegiate quarterbacks. No player from the ACC has finished top three in the Heisman voting since Chris Weinke won it in 2000, but Boyd has a chance to showcase his talent against two premier SEC programs (Auburn and South Carolina), an opportunity no other ACC quarterback can boast.
Why He Won't
Here's a look at two different players from last season:
Player A – 2,379 yards, 28 total touchdowns, three interceptions, passer rating of 159.45
Player B – 1,449 yards, 10 total touchdowns, nine interceptions, passer rating of 117.48
Player A is Boyd's line over the first eight games of 2011, Player B is reflects his performance over the final six matchups. Clemson's quarterback faded fast down the stretch, making poor decisions on the field and gaining weight off of it. The school's coaches have said Boyd has come into camp ready to turn over a new leaf and has shown renewed dedication, but he'll have to show a commitment to winning for a full season before he can be considered for college football's most significant fraternity.
Logan Thomas, QB Virginia Tech
Why He Will
He's big. At 6'6" 260 pounds Thomas possesses elite size for the position which gives his arm a high release point and his imposing frame is difficult to bring down in or out of the pocket. He's fast. With an unofficial 4.56 40 time, the Hokies' quarterback has the ability to run around or through would-be tacklers. He can move the pocket. Plus field vision and sound footwork gives Thomas has the ability to extend plays and make opposing defenses pay with a cannon right arm. He's a dual threat. Thomas posted a school record 3,482 yards of total offense and 30 total touchdowns (19 throwing, 11 rushing) in his first season as a starter. After a shaky performance in a week five loss to Clemson last season, Hokie Nation was quick to call for a change under center. Frank Beamer stuck with Thomas, and the following week he responded with one of the most impressive individual performances of the season in a win over Miami: a near perfect 23-25 passing for 310 yards and three touchdowns and two more scores on the ground (including a 19-yard rush on fourth down to put Virginia Tech ahead with 56 seconds left). If that was a glimpse of what this kid is capable of, Virginia Tech could be in store for a special season.
Why He Won't
While Hokie fans remember the late scramble to seal the game against the Hurricanes, they can also recall the times Thomas' talent was nowhere to be seen in a pair of blowout losses to Clemson. With 2011 ACC Player of the Year David Wilson now playing on Sundays, Thomas has the pressure of being the focal point of the Hokies' offense and can't afford to disappear like that this season. The potential is there, but he's still very raw and adjusting to the quarterback position (losing wide outs Jarrett Boykin and Danny Coale to the NFL won't help his development either).
Any Other ACC Quarterback
Why (T)he(y) Will
In a conference not normally known for strong quarterback play, it's loaded with talent under center this season. While Boyd and Thomas can be considered the frontrunners out of the ACC, they aren't the only ones with a chance to visit New York in December. N.C. State's Mike Glennon threw for nearly 2,800 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2011, his first as a starter. E.J. Manuel is another imposing pocket presence who could put up some big numbers in Florida State's offense. Tobacco Road has a pair of excellent passers in North Carolina's Bryn Renner and Duke's Sean Renfree, and Tanner Price emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the Demon Deacon's unconventional offense. Every quarterback in Paul Johnson's system puts up big numbers on the ground, and Goergia Tech's Tevin Washington will be no exception in 2012. Even Boston College brings back a two-year starter in junior Chase Rettig. The Atlantic Coast returns six quarterbacks who have thrown for 3,000 yards in a season, the first time in league history and the only conference in 2012 to do so.
Why They Won't
There can only be one. To win the Heisman in the ACC typically requires a national championship bid, and six quarterbacks can't do that. While the conference could be deeper at quarterback than ever before, that's a trend which can been seen throughout college football. Glennon, Renner, Renfree, Price, Wachington and Rettig will have the chance to win a lot of games in 2012, but they just don't have the same kind of pedigree or ceiling as some of the other talented signal callers in college football.

Woman convicted of starving child indicted on perjury, falsifying evidence charges
By John Quinn
Union Leader Correspondent
DOVER – A New Durham woman awaiting sentencing for withholding food from a boy, 9, now faces two new charges stemming from her trial in February.
A grand jury handed up the indictments June 20 against Christina Thomas, 34, of 214 Birch Hill Road, New Durham, for allegedly falsifying physical evidence and perjury in connection with her three-week trial in Strafford County Superior Court Feb. 21.
Members of a grand jury handed up the indictments June 20.
Thomas allegedly prevented one of her children from testifying by sending him to the Boston area when he was due in court. She also allegedly made a false statement under oath by claiming she did not tell Kevin Tully "he would never see the kids again if he didn't testify," according to the indictment.
Following the trial, members a jury found her guilty of first-degree assault for her actions as primary caretaker of the boy - who is developmentally delayed - between 2006 and 2010.
During that time, Thomas told New Durham School officials to take a carrot stick away from the boy if he misbehaved. As a result of the tactic, the boy – who weighed 23 pounds when he was 6½ years old – "failed to thrive," according to court records.
Thomas, who remains in Strafford County jail held without bail, is scheduled to be sentenced on the first-degree assault charge Monday. She'll be arraigned in Strafford County Superior Court on July 2 on the new charges.
Falsifying physical evidence and perjury are Class B felonies that each couldresult in 3½ to 7 years in prison and a $2,000 fine.

Changing Lanes (US - BD)
Gabe checks over his shoulder, uses his turn signal, then causes a pile up...
Up and coming power attorney Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck) needs to get to the court house right now with a power of appointment to file. Meanwhile, down and out divorcee Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson) needs to get to the court house right now to gain partial custody of his children. When Gavin changes lanes without looking, he and Doyle crash. Doyle's car is totalled, and in his furious rush Gavin leaves him on the side of the road to miss his hearing. But in the commotion Gavin drops the power of appointment, and Doyle picks it up with nothing left to lose.
Changing Lanes is swimming with coincidence and tragic irony. What it isn't swimming in is impossibility. There's a lot of implausibility, but nothing happens that's so positively unbelievable that the audience has to crank their suspension of disbelief to what I call Transformers-levels (things happen too quickly and too easily, but they aren't total impossibilities). This is important because the film is based in reality, and very dependent on the continuously unfolding plot. Problems arise from the occasional heavy-handedness of the drama. The film is built entirely upon the merits of its strong script, and some aspects might have read better on the page than it does on the screen.
The best and most consistent aspect of the entire film is the editing. The life events of the two leads are impressively cut together in ways that both contrast and equate them. There's one particularly well cut sequence in which Affleck is basically accosted by his wife during a quiet lunch. The emotionally violent scene is inter-cut with Jackson shopping for particularly violent looking hardware. The palpability of the impending carnage is crisp. Overall the film flows with a dexterity that overcomes unnecessary sub-plotting. Sure, the acting is pretty top notch, but it's really the editing that keeps the overwrought bits from taking over.
Changing Lanes is shot largely handheld, and uses the wide 2.35 ratio, so there's not a lot of control to the look outside of lighting, and the framing of a few dialogue scenes. The film is mostly shot drably, with muted colours, and hazy blue tinting, but the increase in brightness allows for some fun visual cues, specifically the titular red file folder, which stands out harshly against the backdrops. The details are sharp in close-up, but kind of fuzzy in medium and far shots. There is an inconsistency to the transfer's overall cleanliness, and it appears to have nothing in particular to do with filming conditions, as the same interior sets are occasionally clear as day, and occasionally rife with grain and digital noise. The same goes for location shots, day and night. The only real constant is that the latter act of the film looks better than the rest of the film, including realistic and untarnished skin tones, and deeper, richer blacks. There is some compression noise around some of the dirtier edges, which seems to be an effect of the film's shallow focus, but there's no harsh white edge enhancement to speak of.
Changing Lanes doesn't feature a lot of surround style to the film save a rainy scene, a sprinkler system scene, and a few relatively quiet outdoor scenes. Most of the sound effects, at least the natural ones likely picked up on set, are centred, and presented low-key beneath the all important dialogue and music. The soundtrack speaks for the characters a little too much, but also acts well to ratchet the tension in a handful of key scenes. There are also a few key points in the score where it ebbs and flows from one character's experience to another. The music is mostly delegated to the stereo speakers, but has a moderate level of rear echo, and plenty of bass.
There are no extras here that weren't apparently already available on the original DVD release. Things start with director Roger Michell's commentary track. This isn't the most boring track I've ever heard by a long shot, but Michell spends most of his time talking about locations, praising actors or pointing out the most obvious plot points, all with a slightly obnoxious poetic streak. The track isn't gushing with pretension or anything, but I get the impression Michell had no idea what to do with himself.
'The Making of Changing Lanes' (15:00) is not even a disguised EPK, it's a blatant sales pitch, or more specifically an elongated trailer featuring cast and crew interviews. 'The Writer's Perspective' (06:30) is and interview with co-screenwriters Michael Tolkin and Chap Taylor. Here the writers mostly walk us through the more obvious subtexts of the film's story, and the moral ambiguity they tried to infuse whole thing with. Things are completed with two deleted scenes (non-anamorphic SD, 04:55), an extended scene (also non-anamorphic SD, 04:37), and a trailer.
I don't think Changing Lanes has been entirely forgotten, but it's definitely fallen off the old radar a bit over the last eight years. This Blu-ray release marks a good chance for thriller fans to catch the film either again, or for the first time. It's not a perfect film by any means, but it's much cleverer than the usual brainless tripe. The Blu-ray looks sharp, but a little inconsistent, and sounds solid, but not incredible. The extras are pretty fluffy, and do not differ from the original DVD release.

FLINDERS VIEW, Australia, Feb. 13 (UPI) —
Australian police said they arrested a 19-year-old man accused of arming himself with a chainsaw and covering his head with a flower pot to rob a store.
Investigators said Steven Frank Steele, 19, of Leichhardt, had a flower pot over his head to conceal his identity and was holding a running chainsaw when he entered the 7-Eleven store in Flinders View about 4:30 a.m. Monday, the Queensland Times reported Thursday.
Police said the two store attendants fled to a back room when Steele lunged at them. He allegedly used the chainsaw to damage a window and several display racks when they refused his demands for money.
Steele allegedly bared his buttocks to the store employees and damaged a parked car while fleeing the scene. Police said he took a bottle of soda from the store.
Police said the chainsaw, which is believed to have been stolen, was recovered from a bush near the scene and Steele was arrested by a police officer who saw him walking down a nearby street.
Steele was charged with one count of armed robbery, two counts of willful damage, one count of going armed to cause fear, one count of public nuisance and one count of possessing suspected stolen property.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (Mar. 8-10, 2007) - After dropping 10 of its first 14 games the ETSU softball team turned things around by winning five of its six games over the weekend at the Rebel Games. The Bucs combined for 40 runs, and posted two shutouts in their three-day trip to
ETSU kicked things off with a sweep on Thursday as they defeated St. Peter's 5-2, and then downed Holy Cross 9-3 in the nightcap. Things looked shaky when Darci Gilbert (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) allowed a first inning run to Peahens, but the Bucs got all the offense they needed, scoring four of their five runs off St. Peters' Amber Phillips in the in the bottom half of the inning. Gilbert cruised through the next five frames, allowing only one hit while striking out five. The freshman hurler had a dicey seventh as she put runners on first and second with only one out. However, she battled back by surrendering only one run, and earned her third win of the season. Gilbert allowed two runs on five hits and struck out six as she went the distance in game one.
The Bucs offense turned things up in the second game on Thursday against Holy Cross. Mary Catherine Vercoe (
The high powered offense and winning ways continued for ETSU as they combined to score 21 runs on 22 hits in wins over Lehigh and Sacred Heart on Friday. The Bucs scored all 10 of their runs in the first three frames and hung on to a 10-8 victory over Lehigh in game one. Gaynord started the inning with a single and eventually scored on Jessie Hackworth's (
ETSU and Sacred Heart looked to have a pitchers duel on its hands in the nightcap on Friday. However, ETSU's bats finally came alive in the fourth when the Bucs batted through the line up, and scored nine runs on eight hits. Three of the Bucs' eight hits went for extra-bases, while Gaynord and Haverman drove in six of the eight ETSU runs. The Bucs pushed two more runs across the plate against Sacred Heart's pitching in the fifth, pushing ETSU's lead to 11-0. Vercoe was untouchable as she allowed only one hit through the five innings, and picked up her second consecutive win.
Sacred Heart handed the Bucs their first defeat of the weekend on Saturday, 2-1. The Pioneers took advantage of Darci Gilbert's two-out walk in the first when Caitlin Carroll's double scored the first run of the game. ETSU tied it at one in the fourth when a Trisha Massenzo (
The Bucs quickly bounced back in the final game of the trip as Vercoe earned her third straight win and second consecutive shutout by blanking Farleigh Dickinson, 4-0. ETSU pushed its first run across the board without receiving a single hit. Senior Stephanie Gaynord reached second to leadoff the game thanks to an error by FDU's third baseman, and she scored the eventual winning run two plays later when Hackworth grounded out to short. The Bucs scored two more runs in the third and another in the sixth. Vercoe limited the Knights' offense to only two hits in six innings of work, as even her record to 5-5 on the season.
After beginning the season with 20 straight road games, ETSU will finally play its season opener on Tuesday afternoon when they host
