Althric here with another LEGO Star Wars review! Okay, this is a very small set, but don't let that put you off. It is worth the money and I can tell you now you won't be disappointed. Now, onto the review. The Clone Trooper: This Clone Trooper variant is brand new for 2013 as it is designed to look like the ones from Episode II. This is the first Episode II LEGO Clone Trooper since 2002 or 2003. I can't really remember. Either way, it is nicely detailed with printing on the front and back of his torso, showing the utility belt and armor. That's all there really is to say about him, I mean he's a clone trooper and since other variants of him have appeared in past sets, you know what to expect. The republic cruiser is great for the size. It features all of the details packed into one small model. You can clearly see where the bridge is (which is actually a grey lightsaber piece!) and on the back is the engine detail. Good mini model- 10/10. Ah, Corosaunt. Good planet. Don't go there if you want to live the country life- as the entire planet is one city, which can be seen on the model of it (orange and grey details with some clouds) Its a nice planet, and it stood out, which is why I bought it. This completes the set and makes it worth every penny. Overall, this small set is worth everything you pay for it. Buy it. Right now. Why are you still reading this? Go to your nearest LEGO shop already. Okay, seriously. Stop. You need to go buy it and you're sitting here reading this. Still? Okay. You win. Do whatever you want. Side note: This also makes a good desk decoration which is why its next to me as I type these words. If you're an adult fan of LEGO Star Wars who works in an office, your boring desk just got fancy.

The minifigure and weapon are a nice addition to my son's collection. The ship is kinda blah. The best in the line is still the X-wing, maybe the Tie interceptor. Overall, this product is merely ok and meant for collectors of the series.

Wonderful toy! Very easy to put together and surprisingly big when we were finished, but also, small enough to keep up on the shelf for display. Thanks!
Nice set, if you like the Planets line

I will probably just use this as display. But I do like the actual Planet included with the set. The minifigure is a nice addition, and the ship is small, but that is the point!

Awesome Lego set for a 4 year old
By Breven's mommy
from Carlsbad, CA
My son loves it! He's younger than the age range given on the box, but he can still follow the instructions since they're all pictures. He can put it together mostly by himself, except for some of the smaller pieces. Everything you need comes in one well-priced box...a ship, person, and planet. I love that everything fits in the planet...so easy to clean up and keep in one place!
Just what I wanted
By Mom
from Palmdale, Ca.
My son loves both Legos and Starwars. This two in one puts him is in hevan! He builds them and then he likes to hang them from the ceiling and pretend he is in space as a Jeti. He never complains about them. This is a wonderful product and as long as they keep making them I will be at Toys-R-Us to pick them up.

My Son loved the Lego chain! He connected it to the planet and was swinging it acting out scenes from Star Wars with his brother!

21st Century Breakdown
OK, so in reading the Fat Cyclist's blog, I realized that Green Day has a new album out. "21st Century Breakdown". I'm a Green Day casual fan . . . I say casual because I don't have to have everything Green Day puts out, but if their album has one or two good songs on it, I'll buy it.So anyway, I opened up iTunes and looked, they have two versions . . . the Deluxe version and the normal version . . . $14.99 and $11.99 respectively. Since Amazon has opened up their MP3 store without DRM (Yes, I know iTunes has since stripped their DRM), I've started checking both places to compare prices (down economy and all). If the prices are the same, I'll download from iTunes. But if Amazon has lower prices, I'll download from them.
Amazon has this particular album for $4.99. Now even if I had to spend an additional $2.58 for the two bonus tracks on the deluxe version on iTunes, I'm still way ahead. I'm just not sure how this is even possible unless Amazon is losing money on the downloads to try to steal market share from iTunes. Anyone know? I'm happy to have the additional step of getting the songs onto my iPhone for a savings of $7!

Residents react to inaugural poet among them
"Who even knew that Richard Blanco was a poet?" said Bonnie Pooley of Bethel. "I knew him as a Planning Board member and an engineer. Then, suddenly, he was a poet chosen by Barack Obama to read at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration. Like many, I'm guessing, I went immediately to the Internet to see what poems I could find by him. Having read several of his poems, I am hooked.
"I hope that we who live in Bethel can be proud of his sudden fame while respecting his privacy, which must be partly why he chose our town to live in and to do his work."
In a few days Blanco will stand on the steps at the U.S. Capitol and read a poem he wrote especially for the second inauguration ceremony of President Obama.
Blanco was selected for the honor in mid-December by the president's Inaugural Committee, which made the announcement last Wednesday.
The poet has been asked to refrain from press interviews for now.
In a press release from the committee, Blanco was quoted as saying, "I'm beside myself, bestowed with this great honor, brimming over with excitement, awe, and gratitude. In many ways, this is the very 'stuff' of the American Dream, which underlies so much of my work and my life's story—America's story, really. I am thrilled by the thought of coming together during this great occasion to celebrate our country and its people through the power of poetry."
Blanco moved to Bethel with his partner in 2009.
Although Blanco is not yet available for interviews, local residents were happy to share their reactions on hearing of his choice.
He is a client of Bethel hair stylist Holly Roberts, who said he had been to her "We've Got the Look" salon a number of times before she realized he was a serious poet. She now has a copy of one of his books at the salon, and she's been reading poems from it aloud to clients.
"Five of my clients bought it online last week," she said. "I think his poetry is different – people can relate to it."
Other people have had similar reactions to his work.
"I was lucky enough at a get-together at Richard's home here in Bethel, to have the opportunity to hear him read a handful of his writings," Tony Andrews of Bethel wrote by e-mail. "I prepared myself to deal with the awkwardness of reacting positively to something that I was sure I probably would not appreciate, but as luck would have it, there was no need to fake a response.
"As cliché as it sounds, he took us through the full spectrum of emotional responses in about a five-minute span."
Jewel Clark of Bethel said she also met Blanco at a gathering a few months ago when, "fortunately for me and other guests that evening, he was persuaded to read a few of his poems.
"Having almost no true understanding of poetry throughout my life, I was both surprised and delighted that in those moments it didn't matter because I simply "got it"!
Afterward, she said, "I even found myself attempting to recite phrases from memory to those I felt would appreciate them. I've found Richard to not only be wonderfully creative, but also humble, gracious, devoted to his public service positions here in Bethel, and perhaps my personal favorite, hilarious."
Rosemary McLean of Bethel said she saw the announcement about Blanco in the New York Times. "One of our neighbors reading an original work at the inaugural ceremony. Wow! This served as a reminder of the rich talent and varied experiences of so many who live in the Bethel community," she said.
Kirk Siegel of Bethel had a similar sentiment. "I was surprised by the announcement, because I only knew of Richard as a Planning Board member, but now see he has been published in all kinds of literary journals," he said. "It's a great reminder that the American small town continues to be a vital part of our culture."
Pok Sun Lane of Bethel emphasized Blanco's affection for his adopted town.
"He really cares about people, and he really loves this town," she said.

Excerpt from
"Thicker Than Country"
A Cuban like me living in Maine? Well,
what the hell, Mark loves his native snow
and I don't mind it, really. I love icicles,
even though I still decorate the house
with seashells and starfish. Sometimes
I want to raise chickens and pigs, wonder
if I could grow even a small mango tree
in my three-season porch. But mostly,
I'm happy with hemlocks and birches
towering over the house, their shadows
like sundials, the cool breeze blowing
even in the summer. ...

Gulf Motel, by Richard Blanco, © 2012. Reprinted by permission of the author and the University of

The CW hit series' celebrated costume designer, Eric Daman, reveals his favorite looks that he's so stylishly pulled together for Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), one of TV's most fashionable characters, during the show's six-year run:
"'People like me don't write books, we're written about.' Living on a yacht, Bass takes to seafaring fashions like a fish to water. We had to get multiples on his light blue Banana Republic blazer as he gets covered in champagne later in the episode," Daman reveals. "The yellow cravat is high-seas perfection, and the navy pocket square is nautical nonsense! Ahoy matey!"

Zip Line
This dramatic rescue involved more than its share of heroics.
- By: Joshua F. Moore
Stare at a map of the Maine coast long enough and you'll find plenty of places associated with maritime disasters. Who can look at Boon Island, for instance, without remembering the horrible choices those stranded colonial sailors were forced to make? In Cape Elizabeth, one neighborhood has become forever associated with a comparatively recent, but no less dramatic, shipwreck and rescue. Thanks to striking photographs such as this one, the area around High Head will always be associated with the Oakey L. Alexander, which ran aground here during a March gale in 1947.
The unknown photographer who raced out to the scene had all the makings for a dramatic photograph: a mariner dangles precariously from a line that looks more like a thread suspended above the thundering surf, while a half-dozen men in coats and mittens haul him the two hundred yards separating ship from shore. No other options remain for the seamen of the 395-foot collier Alexander, her bow torn cleanly off by a rogue wave and her lifeboats, at far left, as stove-in and useless as her crumpled mizzenmast. A wisp of a telephone pole serves as an anchor for the rope lifesaving contraption, while a dash of late winter snow and a wave caught in mid-spray, at far right, add a damp chill to the scene.
As dramatic as this image is, it doesn't tell the full story of the brave actions that brought this thirty-two-man crew safely to shore. Captain Raymond Lewis' decision, for instance, to ground his ship before the remaining bulkhead gave way and sank the Alexander in deep water has to be among the boldest any skipper has made. And who could have imagined that Earle Drinkwater, commanding officer at the nearby Coast Guard Lifeboat Station at Two Lights, would succeed on his first try in using a mortar to launch an eighteen-pound weight onto the ship's bridge, allowing the breeches buoy to then be hauled back and forth? Lastly, Captain Lewis' adherence to maritime tradition by being the last man hauled off the stricken ship, despite the real possibility that waves could sweep him and the Alexander away at any moment, proves his honor and leadership.
In the end, this photograph is memorable because of the tension it captures, from the three men at right who hold their breath as a shipmate is hauled to shore, to the well-dressed bystander, at far right, who can't take his eyes off the scene.
"To have photos of this big vessel, destroyed, with the breaches buoy bringing people across," remarks Nathan Lipfert, senior curator of the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, "That all has a sort of twentieth-century immediacy to it."

Embark on a delicious adventure with this three-hour Venice tour that takes in its most famous Bacari wine bars and their famous cicchetti dishes. Start off from Campo del la Maddalena, a small raised square that is unchanged since medieval times, and is famous for its modest houses topped with interesting chimneys. Visit Cantina Vecia Carbonera, a much loved bar that specializes in cicchetti, for your first taste of these Venetian-style tapas.
Try some of the citys famous specialties, from plates of olives to marinated seafood served on wedges of soft polenta. This atmospheric bar has a long history, and used to be an old charcoal store, so learn about the city as you feast on some of its specialities. Continue on, walking into Strada Nuova, and calling into Alla Vedova, or the widows place, which has been open since the 18th century and is famous for its polpette, spicy fried meatballs. Head to Campo de Santa Sofia and jump on a gondola to cross Canal Grande into the Rialto area.
Pay a visit to the local fishmarket before heading to Al Merca, a hole-in-the-wall place that serves a simple but delicious selection of cicchetti and great regional Italian wines and proseccos. Stop by a couple of other nearby bars to try a few more specialties and to finish up this food lovers adventure through the city. This Venice tour then comes to an end on the steps of the Rialto Bridge, where you can head back to one of your new favorite bars, or easily make your way to any other part of the city.

According to PlayAsia, Hori will be bringing out a Dead or Alive 5 arcade stick in time for the Japanese release. This is of course a Japan only release, currently. The arcade stick will be available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and is based on the Soul Calibur V Hori Arcade Stick with what looks like an art replacement to that of Kasumi, Ayane, and the "I'm a Fighter" slogan.
The arcade stick is currently set for pre-order on Play-Asia at the current asking price of $249.90 + S&H.
Update: Amazon Japan has posted the arcade sticks with higher quality resolution for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions at ¥14,801 (~$185 USD) making it seem more plausible that Play-asia has buffed its asking price.
Update 2: Amazon USA has posted the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 arcade sticks for $149.99.

Educational Excursions
Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
During the semester in Chile, students go on several educational excursions in different regions of the country. These excursions give students the opportunity to explore research topics for the Independent Study Project.
The first stop on the southern excursion is in Concepción, capital of the Biobío Region, and the original frontier of the Mapuche territory before the conquest of 1881 by the Chilean state. Students will attend lectures on the region's economic and political situation at the University of Concepción. They will also visit a coal mine in Lota, a small mining town where the impact of Chile's globalized economy is fully evident.
Valle de Elicura
Students will have the opportunity to live among Mapuche families in part of the Mapuche's original territory. Surrounded by the sacred hills of Xeg Xeg and Kay Kay— icons of the Mapuche cosmovision—students will experience the Mapuche's ongoing struggle to maintain their culture and identity in a modern and globalized Chile. During the stay in Valle de Elicura, students will observe the way a small subsistence farming community is being besieged by forest industry plantations.
Students will also attend on-site lectures by Mapuche academics and social activists on the impact investment projects are having on the Mapuche territory framed within the context of Mapuche history, cultural identity, and current conflicts.
During the excursion to Antofagasta in northern Chile, students will visit one of the world's largest open-pit copper mines. This will give them an opportunity to analyze the impact of globalization and state ownership in a mining region that has strong connections to multinational corporations. Students will meet with mine representatives, workers, and local specialists to discuss the importance of copper production to Chile's economy.
San Pedro de Atacama
During an excursion to the north of Chile, students will have the opportunity to visit the small town of San Pedro de Atacama, once an Atacameño village. (The Atacameño are an indigenous group from the north of Chile.) Students will witness the effects the tourist industry has had over the last few decades on both the area and the lifestyle of its residents.
Shorter excursions
Throughout the semester, students will also visit businesses, human rights organizations, and social institutions in the Santiago region.
Duration: 15 weeks
Program Base: Santiago
Language Study: Spanish

How does Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon work on 3DS, anyway? Lauded strategy designer Julian Gollop explains in this trailer for the the series latest entry, Shadow Wars.

Ghost Recon 3DS to be turn-based squad game with "Advance Wars feel"
Despite appearances to the contrary, the 3DS' launch lineup isn't all quick ports whose biggest upgrades are the addition of "3D" to their titles. Case in point: Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars. It's a brand new turn-based tactical game from none other than the creator of X-Com himself, Julian Gollop.
Yes, yes, we know Ocarina of Time is the greatest game of all time [citation needed], but Shadow Wars looks to be a pretty darn promising upstart. Read all about it after the break.

Remember me
quote Dark ArcanineI'm not that interested in seeing the feature return. I feel the majority of medals are frivolous in nature.
quote Mouldy CheeseThat's a great idea! I'd like to see one that's along the lines of "Have a pokemon knocked out by a magikarp" xD. That one might actually be a little difficult to achieve. Particularly if self-knockouts like self destruct didn't count
quote ShinyMiloticI never made an effort to achieve medals, I just played the game as normal and got heaps of medals anyways from that. I think it's a good feature but the achievements aren't very good. There should be better ones related to battle like 'Use Thunder on a Magikarp' etc.

Convenience functions for editing in ess (emacs speaks statistics) mode:
Mixing emacs muse markup with R code and R output
Hi, I have been using XEmacs ever since – for about 15 years – to do everything (fist under unix now ubuntu). Since March 2011 I use emacs 23. The move to emacs imposed a significant psychological burden, and I was most afraid of the following:
+ Q1.7 How do I run Gnus on both Emacs and XEmacs?
A: You don't.
But this turned out to be no problem at all.
As expected, moving from a fully customized system to a slightly different system, requires adjustments, here are some:
(setq inhibit-startup-screen 'yes-please) (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'plan)
no longer completes file names in the minibuffer. Obviously, a person from my generation spaces never creates filenames with spaces (if you want to smooth and quickly get rid of the spaces in all your filenames, try this: [[file-list.el?]]). Whatsoever, here is how to get the good old behaviour back:(define-key minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map (kbd "SPC") 'minibuffer-complete-word)

The Bay Islands Conservation Association (BICA) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 1991 by the people living in the Bay Islands in order to initiate and coordinate efforts in protecting the Islands' fragile natural resources. BICA's operation and projects are funded through the support of local individuals, businesses and national and international agencies. BICA has two chapters – one in Roatan and one in Utila. |
Utila is the smallest of the Bay Islands, located off the northern coast of Honduras. It is a lush, tropical paradise, surrounded by spectacular coral reefs and crystal blue waters, home to about 7,000 people and numerous species of plants and animals. But, its environment is fragile and the pressure of population and tourism growth is leaving its mark. Utila needs a coordinated effort of its people and the international community to preserve its bounty for future generations. |
BICA Utila
Since its formation, BICA Utila has been instrumental in initiating many conservation projects: management of the Turtle Harbour Wildlife Refuge and Marine Reserve; protection of sea turtles; protection of coral reefs through installation of buoys; first garbage collection on the island; beach cleaning; environmental education in local schools; developing codes of conduct for divers; monitoring whale sharks, etc. In its long and eventful history, BICA Utila has worked with many local and international organizations on the protection of the island's resources, particularly the reefs, and helped many visiting students and researchers with their work. But, BICA's main job is, and has always been, to work with the local community to protect their small piece of paradise so that future generations will be able to enjoy it and make a living from its resources.

A mistrial was declared Tuesday as jurors are unable to decide whether a man should be sentenced to death for the 1988 fatal shooting of a Miami police officer.
On Monday, the jury foreman told the judge they were hopelessly deadlocked after more than three days of deliberating the case of Dennis Escobar. But Circuit Judge Leon Firtel asked them to continue deliberating.
Reports say the jury sent the judge a note about 4 p.m. Monday asking if they could go home for the night. They returned Tuesday morning and a mistrial was declared.
Escobar and his brother were convicted in 1991 of murdering Victor Estefan. The state supreme court later overturned the conviction.
During the five-week retrial, prosecutors said Escobar confessed to shooting Estefan, dumping the weapon in a canal and fleeing to California with his brother.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office issued a statement Tuesday, saying: "The preservation of democracy and our nation rests on the foundation of public order and the rule of law. Nothing attacks these pillars like the murder of a law enforcement officer entrusted with protecting our citizenry. This crime strikes at the very core of the American identity.
For a quarter of a century we have labored to hold responsible the individuals we believe caused the death of Miami Police Officer Victor Estefan. Officer Estefan died a hero protecting our community. Our hearts go out to Officer Estefan's widow, family members, friends, and the entire law enforcement community who have stood by our side for all of these years.
Now, with the declaration of a mistrial in the prosecution of Dennis Escobar for Officer Estefan 's murder, I wish to make it clear that the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office has every intention of retrying this case."

Washington, DC Tuesday, December 13, 2011
The House passed a bill Tuesday night that would extend the current payroll tax cut. The vote was 234 to 193, with 10 Democrats voting with the GOP majority, and 14 Republicans "switching sides." This bill also cuts the maximum length of unemployment benefits from 99 weeks to 59 weeks, repeals certain provisions of last year's health care law, changes the way Medicare pays doctors, removes certain environmental regulations, and allows construction of Keystone XL oil pipeline.
In the Senate, Democrats and Republicans have put forth different versions of a payroll tax bill over the last couple of weeks, with none of them garnering enough votes to pass. Majority Democrats got 50 votes for a plan that would pay for the payroll tax cut with a "millionaire surtax" on the highest income earners. But with 60 votes needed to move forward in the Senate, that plan fell short.

22 CFR 303.9 - Exemptions for withholding records.
§ 303.9
Exemptions for withholding records.
The Peace Corps may withhold a requested record from public disclosure only if the record fits within one or more of the following FOIA exemptions:
Matter specifically authorized under criteria established by an Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy and is in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive Order;
Matter which is related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of the Peace Corps;
Matter which is specifically exempted from disclosure by statute (other than exemptions under FOIA at 5 U.S.C. 552(b) ), provided that such statute requires that the matter be withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no discretion on the issue, or establishes particular criteria for withholding, or refers to particular types of matters to be withheld;
Trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential;
Inter-agency or intra-agency memoranda or letters which would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the Peace Corps;
Personnel and medical files and similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;
Records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes including enforcing the Peace Corps Act or any other law, but only to the extent that the production of such law enforcement records or information:
Could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source, including a State, local, or foreign agency or authority or any private institution which furnished information on a confidential basis; and, in the case of a record or information compiled by a criminal law enforcement authority in the course of a criminal investigation, information furnished by a confidential source;
Would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions if such disclosure could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law; or
In the event that one or more of the above exemptions in paragraph (a) of this section apply, any reasonably segregable portion of a record shall be provided to the requester after deletion of the portions that are exempt. The amount of information deleted shall be indicated on the released portion of the record, unless doing so would harm the interest protected by the exemption under which the deletion is made. If technically feasible, the amount of information deleted shall be indicated at the place in the record where the deletion is made. At the discretion of the Peace Corps officials authorized to grant or deny a request for records, it may be possible to provide a requester with:
No requester shall have a right to insist that any or all of the techniques in paragraph (b) of this section should be employed in order to satisfy a request.
Records that may be exempt from disclosure pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section may be made available at the discretion of the Peace Corps.
Proprietary information. (1) It is the policy of the Peace Corps to withhold proprietary information that falls within the protection of paragraph (a)(4) of this section. Proprietary information includes trade secrets, or commercial or financial information obtained from a person, the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to cause substantial competitive harm.
It is also the policy of the Peace Corps to give submitters of arguably proprietary information an adequate opportunity to provide information to the Peace Corps to establish that the information constitutes protected proprietary information.
A person submitting arguably proprietary information to the Peace Corps will be notified in writing by the Peace Corps if there is a FOIA request for the information, unless:
The information has been lawfully published or has been officially made available to the public; or
The notice shall afford the submitter at least ten business days in which to object to the disclosure of any requested information. Whenever the Peace Corps provides such notice to the submitter, it shall also notify the requester that notice and an opportunity to comment are being provided to the submitter.
A submitter's request for protection for information under paragraph (a)(4) of this section shall:
State whether the information identified has ever been released to a person who is not in a confidential relationship with the submitter;
State the basis for the submitter's belief that the information is not commonly known or readily ascertainable by outside persons; and
The Peace Corps shall consider the submitter's objections and specific grounds for non-disclosure when deciding whether to disclose the information. If the Peace Corps decides to disclose the information, it shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide the submitter at least ten business days notice of its decision before the information is disclosed and a statement of its reasons for not sustaining the objection to disclosure. Whenever the Peace Corps notifies the submitter of its final decision, it shall also notify the requester.
Whenever a FOIA requester brings suit seeking to compel disclosure of proprietary information, the Peace Corps shall promptly notify the submitter.

He collected the ball and passed to sophomore Martin Fuentes collected the ball and fired to the corner to senior Abel Olivas who crossed to a wide-open Furness for the score.
Just over a minute later, Furness was on the receiving end of a great long pass from senior Colin Bjostad to sophomore Daniel Angloher who crossed to Furness for the open-net score and a 2-0 lead at the 36:49 mark into the match.
The Buffs outshot USW 11-1 in the opening half and held a 3-0 lead in shots on goal. WT had a 5-0 lead in corner kicks.
WT came out in the second half and added its third goal as Fuentes scored his first goal of the season on an assist from Furness at the 62:00 mark.
The Mustangs broke through as Chris Ka'auku'u fired a shot from about 40-yards out to the upper right corner for a score at the 63:32 mark. From there, USW began pressuring more and found some opportunities as it had eight, second half shots and four shots on goal in the half.
"Overall we won and we are happy with the chances we had," head coach Butch Lauffer said. "They really only had 2-3 chances, but give the kid credit, it was a great ball he struck and it was a good goal he scored. They put us under pressure in the second half and it's good to deal with those adversities and it was a bending, but we didn't break."
For the match, Furness led the way for WT with eight shots, five on goal, two goals and an assist. The Buffs outshot USW 24-9 and 13-4 in shots on goal, while holding an 8-1 lead in corner kicks. USW goalkeeper Isaac Wilkins came up with some big saves in the second half as he had 10 for the match.
WT now has a nine-day break as it will return to action Sept. 27 at Eastern New Mexico in Lone Star Conference play. USW beat ENMU 3-1 earlier this season.
"We're going to have a couple of days off now to get some rest as we have played a lot of matches in a short period of time," Lauffer said. "We are going to come back on Friday and address and work on a few things."
