Box Score I Box Score in PDF Format
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – No. 5 Florida State (18-1, 5-1 ACC) ran out to an early lead and then hung on for a 4-3 victory over Maryland (12-7, 2-4 ACC) on an overcast and chilly Sunday afternoon inside Turtle Smith Stadium.
After dropping the series opener to the Terrapins on Friday, the Seminoles responded with back-to-back one-run victories to secure the series win and captured their 22nd consecutive series victory over Maryland as FSU has never lost a series to the Terps since joining the ACC in 1992. Florida State improved to 3-0 in one-run games this year.
"It was really, really huge," said head coach Mike Martin on the Seminoles responding to take the final two games of the series. "It's early and we are playing a very good Maryland team. We played two one-run games. Our guys really stayed tough. I was very proud of them this weekend."
Seth Miller paced the Seminole offense on Sunday with three hits on a triple and a pair of singles as FSU out hit Maryland, 10-9, for the first time in the series. Jose Brizuela and Giovanny Alfonzo both registered two hits and drove in a run in the win.
Florida State grabbed the early lead in the rubber game scoring three runs in the top of the third. Miller opened the inning with a triple down the left field line and scored a batter later on Stewart's RBI groundout to second. Back-to-back one-out walks to Stephen McGee and Marcus Davis would come back to haunt Maryland starter Jake Stinnett (1-2) as FSU put together consecutive two-out RBI singles by Brizuela and Alfonzo to plate a run. Brizuela tried to score from first on Alfonzo's hit to left center but the sophomore third baseman was thrown out at the plate for the final out of the inning.
Maryland responded with a run in the bottom of the inning to cut the deficit to 3-1. Anthony Papio led off the inning with a triple off Seminole starter Peter Miller and scored a batter later on an RBI groundout to short off the bat of Jack Cleary.
FSU pushed its lead back to three with a run in the fourth to take a 4-1 advantage. The Seminoles loaded the bases with one out on a walk to Josh Delph, a single by Miller and a walk to DJ Stewart. McGee brought home Delph as he drew a walk with the bases loaded. The inning would come to an end as Davis grounded into a double play.
The Terrapins cut the deficit to 4-3 scoring twice in the fifth off Miller. Cleary led off the inning with an infield single and advanced to third on Charlie White's first hit of the series on a double to left. LaMonte Wade drove in Maryland's second run of the game on a sac-fly to center and Kyle Convissar followed with an RBI single up the middle to score White. A single to left by K.J. Hockaday ended the afternoon for Miller after 4.2 innings.
Bryant Holtmann came on and got Kevin Martir to fly out to Delph in right to retire the side.
Miller did not factor into the decision on Sunday as the junior right hander gave up three runs on six hits as he walked one and struck out four. The run Miller allowed in the third ended his consecutive shutout streak at 19.0 innings.
"Our pitching staff did a great job today under these really tough conditions," added Martin. "Peter got us off to a good start. Bryant Holtmann, Jameis Winston, Gage Smith and Robby Coles all did a tremendous job in relief today to lead us to victory."
Neither team would generate a run the rest of the game as the relief pitching on both sides was outstanding. Holtmann, Jameis Winston, Gage Smith and Robby Coles combined to work 4.1 scoreless innings allowing just three hits, two walks and five strikeouts.
For Maryland, Jamie Pashuck, Jared Price and Kevin Mooney put together 5.2 scoreless innings giving up four hits and four walks while recording five strikeouts.
The two teams combined to leave 28 runners on base including a season-high 17 by the Seminoles.
"You have to credit Maryland," added Martin. "They did a good job of making pitches when they had to; I knew we had left some runs on, but didn't know we left 17."
Holtmann (1-0) picked up the win as he worked a career-high 2.1 innings allowing just one hit and one walk. He struck out one in the 10 batters that he faced.
Both Smith and Coles pitched in all three games this weekend as Smith relieved Winston and pitched Florida State out of a jam in the eighth. With Winston on the hill to start the inning, the first two Maryland batters reached on a single and a walk. After a pitching change brought Smith to the mound, Cleary moved the runners 90 feet on a sac-bunt. The Seminole side arm reliever then got Jose Cuas to hit a groundball to third. Brizuela quickly fired to McGee at the plate who threw back to Alfonzo covering the bag at third who tagged out Blake Schmit who over slid the bag for the second out. Smith closed out the inning as he got White looking at a called third strike to retire the side.
Coles pitched the ninth and worked around a one out hit as he struck out the side to earn his fourth save in as many chances this year.
With the win, Florida State improved to 66-6 all-time against Maryland and 30-9 all-time when playing on St. Patrick's Day.
Florida State will return home to face Stetson for a two-game mid-week series on Mike Martin Field inside Dick Howser Stadium beginning Tuesday, March 19 at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday's first pitch is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. Both games will air live over the internet on Seminoles.com All-Access. Fans can listen to both games live on the All-Access player. Locally, fans can listen to the games on 1270 AM. As always, Seminole fans can follow the Noles on twitter @FSU_Baseball and remember to like the Seminoles on Facebook (www.facebook.com/FSUBaseball). Live stats for all three games will be available via gametracker.

Thomas Sowell relates a fable for our time; the fact that it comes from Russia should be a warning:
An old Russian fable tells of two poor peasants – Boris, who had a goat, and Ivan, who didn't. One day, Ivan came upon a strange-looking lamp; when he rubbed it, a genie appeared. She told him that she could grant him just one wish, but it could be anything he wanted.
Ivan said, "I want Boris' goat to die."
There is a lot of misdirection going on in the political world these days:
For years, using the powers of the Community Reinvestment Act and other regulatory powers, along with threats of legal action, politicians have pressured banks and other lending institutions into lending to people they would not lend to otherwise.
Yet, when all this blows up in our faces and the economy turns down, what is the answer? To have more economic decisions made by politicians, because they choose to say that "deregulation" is the cause of our problems.
No matter what happens, for politicians it is "heads I win and tails you lose." If we keep listening to them and their media allies, we are all going to keep losing big. Keeping our attention focused on CEO pay – Boris' goat – is all part of this game. We are all goats if we fall for it.

Austin, TEXAS -
The No. 61 UC Santa Barbara men's tennis team could not get anything going against a competitive No. 2 Texas team Saturday afternoon in the opening round of the NCAA National Team Indoor tournament at UT's Penick-Allison Tennis Center. The Longhorns swept the doubles point and then overpowered the weary Gauchos to end the match with a decisive 4-0 victory.
In doubles competition, Texas' Ed Corrie and Kellen Damico shut down the No. 1 doubles of Philip Therp and Scott Hohenstein, 8-1. At the No. 2 spot, it was much of the same as Josh Finkelstein and Alex Konigsfeldt fell 8-4 to secure the doubles point for the Longhorns.

The Longhorns completed the sweep of the Gauchos as the No. 4 spot where UT's Miguel Reyes Valela made quick work of Scott Hohenstein 6-4, 6-4. With the outcome already decided, the rest of the matches were suspended.

Posted on 04/21/2013 9:02:45 AM PDT by rktman
Monday, April 22, is Earth Day. Begun in 1970, it led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, along with the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. It is the global platform for the Big Lie that carbon dioxide (CO2) is causing the Earth to warm and the basis of the environmental movements ceaseless efforts to reduce the use of energy for any reason.
(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...
Hmm, I may have to fill up my tank even though it is only 1/2 full.
Maybe I will take a leasure drive too andturn on all my light in my house!
Ha! I plan to maximize my carbon footprint too!
They didn't mention that April 22 was Lenin's birthday (real name Vladimir Ulyanov . . . what is with the reds and pseudonyms?)
"They didnt mention that April 22 was Lenins birthday (real name Vladimir Ulyanov . . . what is with the reds and pseudonyms?)"
Or that April 22, 1970 was the EXACT 100th anniversary of his birth...no doubt a coincidence (yep, right).
Harley straight pipes.
Long ride.
Lots of jack-rabbiting and throttle-wrenching.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
It's also my birthday (and Jack Nicholson's). I always celebrate by lighting a cigar in a public place.
(I like my pseudonym.)
My birthday too
Great article, thanks.
No, thanks to Alan. He's usually very, very good. Just the messenger. LOL!
Bonfire, and Allen Brother's Night!
"The Earth is not endangered, nor should it be worshiped as a pagan religion."
AMEN to that! ;)
Doesn't Earth Day coincide with Stalin's birthday?
Ok, it's Lenin's. What a coincidence!
Carbon credits are the elephant in the room. How does paying money to "buy" carbon credits from someone like Al Gore (so you can continue to produce CO2) help reduce CO2? What is so special about Gore and his minions that they can "sell" the ability to produce CO2?
Not that paying that money to the government in the form of taxes would help (much), as the gub'mint would just put the money into the general fund and spend it on slush funds and not on anything particular like, oh say, research to help reduce the actual production of CO2.
Low information voters cost us dearly, but then so does a press that doesn't do the job intended for it when the Founding Fathers gave them the First Amendment.
Yup. See post #5. Or maybe it was lenin.
My vegitation LOVES them some CO2. Also love di-hydrogen monoxide.

Checking in on… the NECPosted by rtmsf on February 6th, 2010
Ray Floriani of College Chalktalk is the RTC correspondent for the MAAC and NEC conferences.
LYNDHURST, NJ – Coaches talk about separation. The ability to get stops, score on your end and open a lead on an opponent. In the NEC race Robert Morris is starting to gain that separation. The race is not over with Quinnipiac just a game behind, but the Colonials, by virtue of a hot 9-1 January, are now on top of the NEC. Finishing in that spot would be a definite plus. The conference postseason tournament is at the higher seed's home court throughout. Not having to leave 'The Chuck' (Charles Sewall Center) where Robert Morris is awfully tough to beat would be huge for Mike Rice's club. Still, with three weeks remaining in NEC play, there is not enough time for Robert Morris to rest on its first place laurels.
Player of the Week: Devin Sweetney (SR), F, St. Francis (PA) – In a 2-0 week he averaged 25.5 PPG while collecting 8 rebounds an outing. Sweetney had 23 in the win over St. Francis (NY) and hit his third double-double of the season with a 28-point, 10-board effort in an overtime victory over LIU. Jones was instrumental in sparking a 12-2 Colonial second half run that turned the tide against the Blackbirds.
Rookie of the Week: Velton Jones (FR), G, Robert Morris – Jones became the third different Colonial in three weeks to earn this honor. Averaged 14.5 PPG while handing out 4 assists per game. Paced Robert Morris with a career high 21 points in the win over LIU.
Rivalry Week. The NEC Rivalry week called for a game February 4 and the two teams meeting at the other's location two days later. Rivalries included FDU-Monmouth (Battle of New Jersey) , LIU-St. Francis (NY) (Battle of Brooklyn) and St. Francis (PA)- Robert Morris to name a few.
Codey Trophy. Two years ago Monmouth and FDU, recognizing their Garden State rivalry , instituted the Richard Codey Trophy. FDU won it the last two years. It goes to the school who has the best record in the head-to-head series for women's and men's games. In case of a tie, a total point aggregate settles the score. The trophy is named after the former Senate leader and twice acting New Jersey state governor who is an FDU (Class of '81) alum and has graced RTC in an article last year.
- Sacred Heart senior forward Corey Hassan became the sixth NEC player this year to hit the 1,000 point mark. Hassan also had ten three-pointers against Wagner which broke the school single game record of nine.
- The Wagner-Sacred Heart matchup featured coaches with a combined 929 wins. Dave Bike of Sacred Heart has coached 32 seasons with 493 victories. Mike Deane of Wagner has 436 wins in 25 seasons. Make that 437 as the Seahawks edged Sacred Heart recently.
- Jeremy Goode, a regular in this featured milestone category, broke into the top ten in conference career steals. Goode, with 234 thefts, has a shot at the top five. Clear leader of the group is Robert Morris' Chipper Harris ( 1981-84) with 382. Goode is also fifth in NEC career assists at 560. Again, he could move up a few notches. But the leader, Drafton Davis with 804, is quite safe. Davis played at Marist, an NEC school back then, in the early Eighties.
Team Breakdowns
- Bryant – Dropped home games to FDU and Monmouth last week. Senior captain Chris Birrell led the way averaging 13.5 PPG for the week. Shot selection? For the two games Birrell attempted 25 shots and 24 were from beyond the arc. A little closer to the basket, freshman forward Vlad Kondratyev averaged double figures for the week and sophomore center Papa Lo blocked two shots against Monmouth and is third in the NEC in blocked shots this season.
- Central Connecticut State – Swept Monmouth and FDU last week to get back in the thick of things. Senior guard Joe Seymore sparked the Blue Devils hitting 17.5 PPG for the week. Junior guard Shemik Thompson scored 24 versus FDU. The visiting Knights were down 19 the first half and rallied to take a lead late in the game. Thompson took over scoring eight straight and got a steal as CCSU never looked back. Thompson buried four threes and was 8 of 11 from the line.
- FDU – Defeated Bryant and lost at Central Connecticut. The Knights shot 56% the final half at Bryant and on the defensive end held the Bulldogs to 27% shooting. Senior guard Sean Baptiste led FDU with 21 points in the CCSU game. Baptiste is the leading scorer (14.7 PPG) for the Knights who have four players averaging double figures. Senior forward Alvin Mofunanya continues his strong inside play and is closing in on 100 career blocked shots.
- LIU– Dropped road games to Robert Morris and St. Francis (PA). Blackbirds put up some impressive numbers in those two close losses. They had a +13 rebounding edge over RMU and shot 26 of 33 (79%) from the charity stripe in the overtime loss at St. Francis (PA). The problem at Robert Morris was LIU's season low 27% shooting from the floor. Senior guard Jaytornah Wisseh had his seventh 20-point outing during the week.
- Monmouth – Split on the road losing to Central Connecticut while defeating Bryant. Sophomore guard Will Campbell and freshman forward Ed Waite excelled offensively for the Hawks. Campbell hit four treys in the second half in the Bryant contest. Campbell's shooting helped the Hawks rally from an 11 point first half deficit. Junior forward Nick DelTufo had a big hand in the Bryant game as well with a career high 15 points.
- Mount St. Mary's – It's been a rough go but the Mount swept the week with much needed wins over Sacred Heart and Quinnipiac. The games were at home where the Mount has now won 13 of its last 14 against NEC opposition. Junior guard Jean Cajous averaged 12 PPG and 5.5 RPG for the week. Cajous was instrumental on the defensive end as both times out he drew the opposition's best scorer and did an admirable job. Senior guard Jeremy Goode has been lauded for his scoring and playmaking, and he is alsothe conference pace setter in steals.
- Quinnipiac – Defeated Wagner and lost to Mount St. Mary's. The loss at the Mount snapped the Bobcats' eight game win streak and leaves them a game out of first. Junior forward Justin Rutty had a pair of double-doubles, giving him 21 for his career. Rutty had a 15 rebound effort, to go along with 18 points in a losing effort at the Mount. Senior guard James Feldeine paced Quinnipiac with 21 points in the win at Wagner. The Bobcats have outrebounded the opposition in every one of their 21games to date.
- Robert Morris – Swept LIU and St. Francis (NY) to gain sole possession of first place in the conference race. The Colonials have captured seven straight and finished 9-1 for the month of January. A rookie and veteran mix, freshman guard Karon Abraham had a big week while another guard, senior Mezie Nwigwe averaged 15 PPG and 6.5 RPG for the two games. During the seven-game win streak the Colonials have surrendered only 60 points per game. A closer look shows the opposition hitting just 35% from the floor during that time. Overall, Robert Morris has an outstanding 89.0 defensive efficiency in NEC action.
- Sacred Heart – Dropped road games at Mount St. Mary's and Wagner. Senior forward Corey Hassan exploded for a 28.5 PPG scoring week. Hassan added 5.5 RPG and shot 59% from the field. He scored a career high 36 points in the Wagner game. The three-point shot has been a major part of the Pioneer arsenal. They rank fourth in the country with 9.3 three pointers per game and are fifth nationally with a 40% mark from beyond the arc. Sacred Heart's 52.6 eFG% is second in the NEC.
- St. Francis (NY) – Dropped road games to St. Francis (PA) and Robert Morris. The Terriers had a four-game NEC win streak stopped with the 0-2 'Western' swing. Sophomore guard Justin Newton is second in the conference assist/turnover ratio (1.88). Newton exited the Robert Morris game with a knee injury. In his absence junior guard Akeem Bennett will handle the point guard duties. Terriers have yet to hit 70 points this season and have an offensive efficiency of 90 (tied for second lowest) in NEC play.
- St. Francis (PA) – Swept games over St. Francis (NY) and LIU (in overtime). That gives the Red Flash seven wins on the season and exceeds the six-win total of each of the past two years. Defense did the job against the Terriers as SFPA had 14 steals and forced 24 turnovers. Senior forward Devin Sweetney had a huge 28 point, 10 rebound performance in the win over LIU. The win over LIU was only the third this season that the Red Flash pulled out when trailing at halftime. Junior guard Sorena Orandi hit two free throws with four seconds remaining to capture the 74-73 win over LIU.
- Wagner – Split two games, losing to Quinnipiac and edging Sacred Heart. Sophomore guard Chris Martin hit a runner in the lane with six seconds left to give the Seahawks the victory over SHU. Martin leads Wagner in scoring with 12.9 PPG. Senior center Michael Orock continues his fine inside play and leads the NEC with a 58% field goal percentage. The Seahawks have been hampered by a 26% TO RATE, the highest in the conference. You don't want to lead in this category.

BEIJING (AP) — An actor has become the latest Chinese celebrity to face drug charges in a wave of detentions that an official said Wednesday is one of China's sternest crackdowns on illegal drug use in two decades.
Gao Hu, 40, who had a small part as a soldier in Zhang Yimou's 2011 movie "The Flowers of War," was detained by police for possession and use of marijuana and methamphetamine, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Beijing police also announced the Tuesday detention in a brief statement.
Several celebrities have been detained on drug charges following a declaration in June by President Xi Jinping that illegal drugs should be wiped out and that offenders would be severely punished.
Illegal drug use has ballooned in China in recent decades, after being virtually eradicated following the 1949 communist revolution. Narcotics began to reappear with the loosening of social controls in the late 1980s. In more recent years, rising wealth and greater personal freedoms have been accompanied by a growing popularity of methamphetamines and the party drugs Ecstasy and ketamine. They are often bought on social media forums and consumed in nightclubs, leading to periodic police crackdowns.
The number of officially registered addicts in China was 1.8 million at the end of 2011. That is about one-tenth the number of Americans seeking treatment for drug problems each year.
In June, Beijing police said they detained screenwriter and novelist Chen Wanning, whose pen name is Ning Caishen, for possession of drugs in an apartment in Beijing. He tested positive for methamphetamine, a stimulant, they said.
That same month, film director Zhang Yuan, who made the 2006 film "Little Red Flowers" set in post-revolutionary China, was detained for drug offences at a Beijing railway station after he tried to evade a random drug check, according to a report on the Beijing police's microblog.
Both received administrative detention, which is a maximum of 15 days.
Pi Yijun, an anti-drug adviser for the Beijing government, said the drug crackdown is one of China's biggest in two decades.
He said demand for methamphetamines has spiked for people under age 35, and that it has become easy to obtain. Pi said police were relying heavily on informants to identify users, who are then targeted by officers in drug test sweeps.
"This new type of drug is making it more difficult for the police to identify users because when they come into a club, everybody can be suspicious, not just a few people. It would be too costly to test everyone. So they mainly rely on whistleblowers," Pi said.
Courts sentenced 39,762 people for drug-related offenses in the first five months of 2014, up more than a quarter from the previous year, according to the Supreme People's Court.
Police said they detained Gao, who starred this year in the Hong Kong film "The Man from Macao," along with three others and seized about seven grams of marijuana and one gram of methamphetamine.
Liu Yuejin, director general of the Public Security Ministry's Narcotics Control Bureau, said last year that while most users of heroin and opium are peasants and unemployed people, the users of newer drugs such as methamphetamine and ketamine are from a more diverse background, including entrepreneurs, celebrities and sports stars.
"When it comes to new types of drugs, the momentum is growing, like the situation in many countries of the world," he told a news conference. "The use and the selling of new types of drugs is on an upward trajectory."
Associated Press writer Christopher Bodeen and news assistant Zhao Liang contributed to this report.

The feds are at it again. Now they want military surplus store owners and employees to rat out their customers. The hand-out below was distributed in Colorado.
Government hand-outs like this are nothing new. However, this time around the government is targeting "survivalists." People who purchase MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) might be terrorists, especially if they make "suspicious comments regarding anti-US, radical theology (sic) vague or cryptic warnings that suggest or appear to endorse the use of violence in support of a cause."
According to the hand-out, you might be with white al-Qaeda if you purchase high capacity magazines or rifle tripods, weatherized ammunition, flashlights, gas masks, night vision devices, especially if you buy them "bulk," that is if you buy more than one of each.
The hand-out suggests stores "require valid ID from all new customers" and ask questions, presumably to find out if they are with al-Qaeda (or defend the Constitution too adamantly).
Of course, this rat-on-your-customers policy is doomed to failure. Business owners understand customers value their privacy and don't like to be carded to do business and asked all kinds of inappropriate questions. If they want to stay in business, they will leave their customers alone – and ignore this silly government hand-out.
For now – until the next false flag terror attack – the feds are not requiring business owners to inform on their customers.
The hand-out was originally posted on the Oath Keeper's website.

Wanna hear some good news?
Me too.
That's why I have decided to spend this column writing about some of the good things that are happening in the world today. I will get back to my regularly scheduled opinions next week, but for now, let's have some good news, shall we?
First up, the guy with the super heart.
Have you heard about this story? No? Well, I'll tell you because inquiring minds want to know.
Michael Crowe, who lives in Nebraska, (that's not really relevant to what happened, but I just thought I would throw that in), was in dire need of a heart transplant. He was suffering from "acute myocarditis" (inflammation of the heart muscle), and his heart was only functioning at 10 percent.
When doctors were able to find a match for his transplant, they discovered that Michael was also suffering from blood poisoning. Well, the blood poisoning made the operation too risky, so it was a no-go on the surgery.
All of my information is coming from the Omaha World-Observer, by the way. I am not just making up a random story about some guy in Nebraska. I shouldn't have to write that, but inevitably someone will send me an email asking me how long I've been writing fiction, so I just wanted to clear things up to avoid such questions.
Now, back to the story.
So Michael needed surgery, but he had blood poisoning and couldn't have the surgery. Then low and behold, an hour after Michael learned he could not have the surgery, his doctor, Dr. Eugenia Raichlin, (a heart failure and transplant physician) noticed that his blood pressure was up. An ultrasound was given and revealed that the left chamber of Michael's heart was functioning normally.
Then, a few days later, his heart started working on its own, and there is no permanent damage or scarring. Michael is now recuperating at home.
His family credits "exceptional medical care" and the "amazing power of prayer" as the reasons for Michael's amazing recovery. Whether you believe in miracles or not, or prayer or not, that's pretty good news, if not to you, then most definitely to Michael Crowe and his family.
And what would good news be without music.
Have you ever heard of the Kinshasha Orchestra? It's the only orchestra in Central Africa, and it's located in the Congo.
African orchestra may not sound like such a good thing, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the poorest countries in the entire world. Yet, these musicians, most of them self-taught, manage to play Beethoven's classics to perfection.
As I read about this orchestra, I was moved by their passion and their determination to keep playing even as a war attempts to overthrow the government, and abject poverty surround them daily.
Knowing that people like Michael Crowe, and that the members of the Kinshasha Orchestra have such a strong desire to beat the odds, a positive attitude and the wherewithal to never give up no matter what obstacles they may face, inspires me.
But more than that, it encourages me and gives me confidence that all hope is not lost because there are many other people here and in countries around the world with the same spirit, desire, attitude and wherewithal.
And if that isn't good news, I don't know what is.

CHICAGO – After watching the Edmonton Oilers score four goals in 10-minute span Sunday, a Blackhawks fan screamed a question from the upper deck late in the first period.
"How much time is left in this terrible period?!?" the fan said.
His timing was perfect.
"One minute remaining in the period," public-address announcer Gene Honda responded. "One minute."
Not a minute too soon, Hawks players retreated to their locker room facing a 4-0 deficit.
When they returned to the ice, they looked like their familiar selves.
Long story short: The Hawks lost, 6-5, to the Edmonton Oilers. They started card-table flat, made a breathtaking comeback bid, but ultimately ran out of time.
Now, the Hawks have lost two consecutive games. They are 21-2-3 on the season.
All of those ESPN and Sports Illustrated and Wall Street Journal reporters who filled the press box in recent games have packed their laptop bags and headed elsewhere. Once the streak – I mean The Streak – ended Friday in Colorado, the Hawks lost some national sizzle.
Too bad. All of those news outlets are missing out on a good development in the story.
It's official. The Hawks are human.
I was starting to wonder.
Humans have bad days, and the Hawks finally have had a couple. That's fine. Even a shortened regular season is a long season, and disappointing losses are inevitable.
Give Hawks players credit for having the right approach to their recent cold spell. Just because you have a hiccup doesn't mean you need CPR.
Take this exchange between Patrick Kane and a reporter after the game.
"You haven't faced adversity as far as losing this season," a serious-looking reporter said. "How do you expect this team to respond?"
Kane tried, and failed, to stifle a chuckle.
"You know what, it's two games, so we can't get too ahead of ourselves here," Kane said. "But, we've had a great season to date. And we feel we have a really good team in here that can do some special things."
Good for Kane for chuckling.
Outside of the locker room, some might question the Hawks' recent defensive breakdowns. Corey Crawford was yanked from Friday's start after allowing five goals on 19 shots, and Ray Emery was yanked from Sunday's start after giving up three goals on eight shots.
But the Hawks' goaltenders are not entirely to blame for the recent binge in goals allowed, just as they weren't the sole reason for the team's defensive success during The Streak. And the Hawks' offense is as potent as ever, as proved by their five goals in the final two periods against Edmonton.
Even if I wanted to press the panic button, I'm not sure that I would be able to find it.
Maybe it's next to where the Zambonis are parked? Maybe it's on top of the scoreboard? What if it's frozen underneath the faceoff circle at center ice, hidden in plain sight?
Regardless, the Hawks will be fine.
Jonathan Toews agreed.
By the way, this is the same guy who is nicknamed "Captain Serious."
"We didn't get a point or we didn't get two points tonight, but considering where we put ourselves [after the first period], we didn't give up," Toews said with a matter-of-fact tone. "We tried to come back, and we put them on their heels in the second half of the game. …
"We'll learn from this when we get back at it later on this week."
I believe him.
It's rare for Hawks players to have to sit around after a game and discuss a loss.
It's not something they want to become a habit.
"It was weird after the first one," Kane said. "Now, we've got to be careful not to get too down on ourselves – especially after the start we had.
"We did something really special, and no one can ever take that away from you. We're very happy with the start to the season. We've just kind of got to regroup here and get back to that mentality of not wanting to lose."
They already have that mentality.
They'll be fine.

TORRANCE, CA – April 27, 2011 – (Motor Sports Newswire) –
As the 2011 Supercross Championship enters the home stretch, American Honda is gearing up for an exciting title showdown at the final round in Las Vegas on May, 7. For 37 years Honda has amassed an unparalleled win record in AMA Supercross and Motocross, winning more championships than any other manufacturer, and that record is set to increase as Honda riders vie for the top spots in the Supercross and Supercross Lites East and West Championships.
Honda newcomer TwoTwo Motorsports' Chad Reed is six points out of the Supercross Championship lead with two rounds remaining. With American Honda Racing's Trey Canard and Josh Grant both sidelined with injuries, the American Honda team is lending its full support to the TwoTwo Motorsports team as Reed vies for his first title on a Honda CRF450R.
In the Lites championships, CRF250R racers GEICO Honda's Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac are also preparing to add to Honda's win record. Barcia has a 20-point lead in the Supercross Lites East Championship with one round remaining, while Tomac is only seven points out of the championship lead in the Supercross Lites West Championship with two rounds remaining.
"The TwoTwo Motorsports team has done an awesome job all season long," said American Honda Racing Team Manager Erik Kehoe. "Chad has done a great job putting together a highly talented team to support his 2011 racing efforts. We would love to see Chad win the Supercross title in his first season on a Honda. It's also great to see the GEICO Honda team having such a strong season. Justin and Eli have also had tremendous success this year. We wish all these guys good luck in the final rounds."
In addition to supporting Honda's Supercross efforts, the American Honda Racing team's preparations for the upcoming Motocross Championship are well underway. Both Canard and Grant are focused on making returns to racing early in the Motocross season. Additionally, fan-favorite and Honda racing veteran Kevin Windham will be racing the first few outdoor Motocross Nationals on the American Honda Racing team until Canard and Grant return to the outdoor National circuit. Windham will make his debut at the season-opener Hangtown National alongside American Honda Racing teammate Ashley Fiolek, who will be contesting the Women's Motocross Association (WMA) Championship.
"The outdoor Nationals are something special," said Windham. "The speed is not something you find in Supercross, and I'm pumped to be able to race for American Honda. The bike is good and I'm ready. We'll just have to see what happens."
"Getting hurt so late in the Supercross season was a bitter pill to swallow," said Canard. "Especially since I was among the top contenders for the Supercross title. However, I'm doing what I need to do in order to make a full recovery and return to racing early in the Motocross Championship."
Grant too is on target to make his return early in the season. "Since undergoing knee surgery a few months back, I've been receiving therapy on my knee on a daily basis," explains Grant. "I've worked intensely with my doctor and healed fast. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Motocross season and excited to rejoin the American Honda Racing team as soon as possible."
Few Supercross championships in history have headed to such an exciting conclusion, so don't miss the action and make sure to stop by the American Honda Racing transporter located in the paddock.

Dollars and Sense
Susan Thompkins is somebody's Aunt Susan, and everyone has a version of someone like Aunt Susan. Aunt Susan is a genuinely happy and loving woman, who also buys gifts for her nephews and nieces whenever she shops for herself and her kids. Aunt Susan loves shopping at JCPenney. She's been shopping there since she was a child, going with her parents and grandparents, helping them spot bargains. There were always so many great deals to be found. It was a fun game, running around, looking for the highest number next to the percent symbol, proud of spotting the secret stash.
In recent years, Aunt Susan would drag along her brother's kids, showing them ugly sweaters and mismatched outfits that they just "couldn't pass up because they're such great deals!" While the kids didn't love it, she did. Getting the great bargains at JCPenney was still a big thrill for Aunt Susan.
Then, one day, Ron Johnson, JCPenney's new CEO, got rid of all of the deals. He instituted what he called "fair and square" pricing across the board. No more sales, bargains, coupons, or discounts.
Suddenly Susan was sad. Then she was angry. Then she stopped going to JCPenney entirely. She even formed an online group with her friends called "I hate Ron Johnson." She wasn't alone. Many customers left JCPenney. It was a bad time for the company. It was a bad time for Susan. It was a bad time for Ron Johnson. It was a bad time for the ugly sweaters, too: They couldn't buy themselves. The only ones having a good time? Susan's nephews.
A year later, Aunt Susan heard discounts had returned to JCPenney. Cautiously, with her guard up, she returned. She hunted through a rack of pantsuits, examined some scarves, and checked out a paperweight display. And she looked at the prices. "20% off." "Marked down." "For sale." She bought just a couple of things that first day, but since then, she's returned to her old JCPenney self. She's happy again. And that means more shopping trips, ugly sweaters, and awkward thank-yous from her loved ones. Hooray.
A JCPenney for Your Thoughts
In 2012, Ron Johnson, the new CEO of JCPenney, did scrap Penney's traditional, and yes, slightly deceptive practice of marking products up and then marking them back down. In the decades before Johnson's arrival, JCPenney always offered customers like Aunt Susan coupons, deals, and in-store discounts. These reduced Penney's "regular prices," which were artificially inflated, to appear to be "bargain deals," but in fact after the discounts their prices were in line with prices everywhere else. In order to get to the final, retail price of an item, customers and the store would perform this Kabuki theater of raising prices at first and then lowering them in all kinds of creative ways, with different signs and percentages and sales and discounts. And they played this game over and over again.
Then Ron Johnson made the store's prices "fair and square." No more coupon cutting, bargain hunting, and sale gimmicks. Just the real price, roughly equal to those of its rivals and roughly equal to their previous "final" prices—after raising and discounting them. Johnson believed his new practice was clearer, more respectful, and less manipulative for his customers (and he was right, of course).
Except that loyal customers like Aunt Susan hated it. They detested "fair and square." They abandoned the chain, grumbling about feeling cheated, being misled and betrayed by the real and true cost, and not liking the honest, fair-and-square pricing. Within a year, JCPenney lost an amazing $985 million and Johnson was out of a job.
Almost immediately after his firing, the list price of most items at JCPenney rose by 60 percent or more. One side table that cost $150 rose to an "every day price" of $245. Not only were the regular prices higher, but there were more discount options: Instead of just a single dollar amount, the store offered "sale," "original," and "appraised at" prices. Of course, when we factor in the discounts available—by sale, or coupon, or special deal—the prices pretty much stayed the same. They just didn't look that way. Now it looked like JCPenney was once again offering really great deals.
Ron Johnson's JCPenney offered products at more honest prices and was rejected in favor of sales gimmicks. Aunt Susan still hates him. Think about that: JCPenney's customers voted with their wallets and they elected to be manipulated. They wanted deals, bargains, and sales, even if it meant bringing back inflated regular prices—which is exactly what JCPenney eventually did.
JCPenney—and Ron Johnson—paid a high price for failing to understand the psychology of pricing . But the company ultimately learned that it could build a business based upon our inability to assess value rationally. Or, as H. L. Mencken once said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
What's Going On Here?
The story of Aunt Susan and JCPenney shows some of the many effects of , one of the most powerful forces that make us assess value in ways that have little to do with actual value. At JCPenney, Aunt Susan assessed value based upon relative value, but relative to what? Relative to the original posted price. JCPenney helped her make the comparison by posting the discount as a percentage and adding notes like "sale" and "special" to help focus her attention on the amazing relative price they offered.
Which would you buy? A dress shirt priced at $60 or the very same dress shirt, priced at $100, but "On Sale! 40% off! Only $60!"?
It shouldn't matter, right? A $60 shirt is a $60 shirt, no matter what language and graphics are on the price tag. Yes, but since relativity works on us at a very deep way, we don't see these two in the same way, and if we were a regular like Aunt Susan, we would buy the on-sale shirt every time—and be outraged by the mere presence of the straight-up $60 one.
Is this behavior logical? No. Does it make sense once you understand relativity? Yes. Does it happen frequently? Yes. Did it cost an executive his job? Absolutely.
We often cannot measure the value of goods and services on their own. In a vacuum, how could we figure the cost of a house or a sandwich, medical care or an Albanian three-toed blork? The difficulty of figuring out how to value things correctly makes us seek alternative ways to measure value. That's where relativity comes in.
When it is hard to measure directly the value of something, we compare it to other things, like a competing product or other versions of the same product. When we compare items, we create relative values. That doesn't seem too problematic, right?
The problem isn't with the concept of relativity itself, but with the way we apply it. If we compared everything to all other things, we would consider our opportunity costs and all would be well. But we don't. We compare the item to only one other (sometimes two) . This is when relativity can fool us.
Sixty dollars is relatively cheap compared to $100, but remember opportunity costs? We should be comparing $60 to $0, or to all of the other things we could buy with $60. But we don't. Not when, like Aunt Susan, we use relative value to compare the current price of an item to the amount it used to cost before the sale (or was said to cost) as a way to determine its value. This is how relativity confounds us.
JCPenney's sale prices offered an important value cue to customers. Not just an important cue, but often the only cue. The sale price—and the savings JCPenney touted—provided customers context for how good a deal each purchase was.
JCPenney's sale signs provided customers with context, and without context, how could we determine the value of a shirt? How could we know whether it's worth $60 or not? We can't. But compared to a $100 shirt, a $60 one sure seems like a great value, doesn't it? Why, it's almost like getting $40 for free! Let's all buy one so our nephews can be mocked at school!
By eliminating the sales and "savings," JCPenney removed an element that helped their customers feel that their decisions were the right ones. Just looking at a sale price next to a "regular" price gave them some indication that they were making a smart decision. But they weren't.
Ron Johnson's JCPenney offered products at more honest prices and was rejected in favor of sales gimmicks.

Duplication is thought to be one of the main processes providing a substrate on which the effects of evolution are visible. The mechanisms underlying this chromosomal rearrangement were investigated here in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Spontaneous revertants containing a duplication event were selected and analyzed. In addition to the single gene duplication described in a previous study, we demonstrated here that direct tandem duplicated regions ranging from 5 to 90 kb in size can also occur spontaneously. To further investigate the mechanisms in the duplication events, we examined whether homologous recombination contributes to these processes. The results obtained show that the mechanisms involved in segmental duplication are RAD52 -independent, contrary to those involved in single gene duplication. Moreover, this study shows that the duplication of a given gene can occur in S.cerevisiae haploid strains via at least two ways: single gene or segmental duplication.
Susumu Ohno was the first author to present gene duplication as a key to molecular evolution ( 1 ). In the light of the data obtained by performing global genome analysis, the importance of gene duplication as an evolutionary process is by now widely recognized, however. One of the most important aspects of molecular evolution is that it leads to the emergence of genes with new functions. Genes encoding novel functions are often derived from preexisting genes by modification of their structure or regulation through a process called neofunctionalization ( 2 ). The initial step in this process is a gene duplication step, which leads to redundancies in the genetic material followed by the divergence of one or both copies.
Many of the genomes completely sequenced so far show traces of duplication events. Examples of these duplications can be found in yeast species. Approximately 40% of the genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae result from duplication events and form families consisting of two to more than twenty paralogous genes ( 3 – 5 ). The presence of redundant sequences of this kind can be partly explained by a whole genome duplication (WGD) that would have been subsequently reduced to the disomic state by deletions and concomitantly rearranged by translocations ( 6 – 8 ). Nevertheless, other molecular mechanisms liable to generate duplications of DNA regions need to be considered to account for the presence of a duplicated copy. Gene duplication can involve either a single gene ( 9 ), or segmental ( 10 , 11 ) or single chromosome duplications ( 12 ).
Note that on both OS X and iOS that the Foundation framework provides a convenience macro
that provides syntactic sugar for this attribute:
This macro is conditionally defined depending on the compiler's support for this attribute. If the compiler does not support the attribute the macro expands to nothing.
Operationally, when a method has this annotation the compiler will warn if the implementation of an override in a subclass does not call super. For example:
By default, the Objective-C interface or protocol identifier is used in the metadata name for that object. The objc_runtime_name attribute allows annotated interfaces or protocols to use the specified string argument in the object's metadata name instead of the default name.
. This attribute can only be placed before an @protocol or @interface declaration:
This attribute specifies that the Objective-C class to which it applies is visible to the Objective-C runtime but not to the linker. Classes annotated with this attribute cannot be subclassed and cannot have categories defined for them.
The attribute suppresses essentially all optimizations on a function or method, regardless of the optimization level applied to the compilation unit as a whole. This is particularly useful when you need to debug a particular function, but it is infeasible to build the entire application without optimization. Avoiding optimization on the specified function can improve the quality of the debugging information for that function.
This attribute is incompatible with the and attributes.
Clang provides support for C++ function overloading in C. Function overloading in C is introduced using the

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- The opening of casinos in Ohio this spring means the luck is running out for neighboring states that have pulled in an estimated $1 billion each year from gamblers who've been crossing the border to wager at riverboats in Indiana, gaming tables in Michigan and casinos in western Pennsylvania.
With more Ohioans staying home to gamble, those states stand to lose millions in tax revenues that help pay for new schools, college scholarships, roads and bridges.
Cash-starved states are increasingly leaning on gambling money from new casinos to get them through lean times, yet there are concerns the rapid expansion of casino gambling is saturating the market.
Indiana alone estimates it will lose as much as $100 million in tax revenue in the first year after all four of Ohio's casinos are operating.
Casinos came to Indiana in the mid-1990s and now are the state's third-biggest revenue generator behind sales taxes and income taxes, bringing in just over $10 billion in tax money since its riverboat casinos first opened. Wagering and admission taxes raised $860 million in the state's last fiscal year. But the numbers have been slipping the past three years because of increased competition and the economy.
"We were shockingly successful in the early years," said Luke Kenley, a state senator who's a key member of Indiana's budget committee. "But other states have chipped away at us."
Its biggest threat now is a new casino under construction in downtown Cincinnati that's just a half-hour drive from one of Indiana's most profitable casinos in Lawrenceburg.
The casinos that draw Ohio customers aren't going to give them up without a fight. They've spruced up their gaming areas, added entertainment offerings and increased advertising. West Virginia's legislature created a fund to help casinos buy new slot machines.
Ohio's first casino opened in Cleveland two weeks ago and is expected to draw away customers from gaming tables in Pennsylvania and western New York.
A second casino that opens in Toledo on Tuesday will be in direct competition with three sites that are just 60 miles to the north in Detroit. Gaming analysts think Detroit's casinos could lose up to 5 percent of their revenues, and the city is bracing for a $25 million loss from its take of casino money in the upcoming fiscal year.
It simply stands to reason that gamblers who have flocked to Detroit from northern Ohio the past two decades will go to the casino that is closest to home, said Jake Miklojcik, a gaming industry analyst in Michigan.
"I call it couch to slot time," he said. "Convenience is the most important factor, because all the games are really the same."
Ohio's neighboring states, for the most part, are waiting to see how their casino revenue is affected before making any cuts. Some target that money toward education while others, including Indiana, put gambling taxes into their general fund.
Ohio expects to collect about $600 million from taxes on casino wagering, with most going to schools and local governments.
The state's voters had rejected four attempts to open casinos before 2009 when they approved gambling halls in Ohio's four biggest cities. Backers promised it would help the state's floundering economy by bringing new jobs and stopping the flow of money to out-of-state casinos.
"It's Ohio's money now," said Scott Baillie, a poker and blackjack player from the Toledo suburb of Holland who no longer plans to make monthly trips to Detroit's casinos. "It's fantastic. Everything stays local, look at how many jobs they've created."
Toledo's casino will employ 1,300 people, both full and part-time.
The owners of Mountaineer Casino & Resort in West Virginia spent $6 million campaigning against Ohio's entrance into casino gambling.
West Virginia had little nearby competition for nearly two decades after racetracks began adding gaming machines in the 1990s. Six years ago it was second only to Nevada in the share of its state budget that comes from gambling revenues, with much of that money going to school construction and student scholarships and grants.
Now it's feeling the squeeze from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland -- all relative newcomers to the casino industry.
West Virginia is bracing for a 20 to 40 percent drop in sales at its racetrack casinos, said Jim Toney, a deputy director with the West Virginia Lottery.
To make sure West Virginia's four casinos stay competitive, state lawmakers set up a fund last year that allows the casinos to split up to $10 million a year so they can buy new slot machines. The fund matches $1 for every $2 the casinos spend on upgrades.
Keeping the casinos updated should help them win back customers, Toney said.
"It's like a supermarket or a Pizza Hut, when you put a new one on the corner everyone wants to shop at the new store," he said. "Over time, there's a gradual return to the old neighborhood."
Indiana has tried to help out, too.
Lawmakers allowed casinos to be exempt from new statewide smoking restrictions adopted this year after gaming operators said customers would go elsewhere if they couldn't light up while gambling.

MONA CHAREN: I'm disappointed in people on our side...
The World Cup is getting serious now. We are officially into the Round of 16, which means it's win or go home for the remaining teams. And indeed, some of the best players and teams are packing their bags.
It's been weeks since President Trump declared talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a great success. But today, the Washington Post is reporting that U.S. intelligence officials have concluded North Korea does not intend to fully surrender its nuclear stockpile.
With their signature harmonies, tight choreography and flashy outfits, The Temptations helped define the Motown sound.
Lesser known is what the five young men from Detroit had to sacrifice to get there. A new musical, appropriately titled chronicles the tumultuous journey of the Motown group. Behind their chart-topping hits and smooth melodies, the original group's climb to globetrotting superstardom was fraught with departures, deaths and ego during a turbulent 1960s America.
Now that President Trump can no longer separate migrant families apprehended at the border, his administration is preparing to lock them up as a unit.
The Defense Department is under orders to confine up to 12,000 immigrant parents with their children on military bases, as a way to deter future illegal immigration. Two installations in Texas plan to start putting up temporary housing after July Fourth.
Family confinement has a troubled, litigious history in the United States, and legal advocates for immigrants are preparing for a major battle ahead.
