  • I hate Alex, Izzie let go, George grow up, Yeah for the Fat love interest!

    I hate Alex so much right now. I was feeling the Alex/Izzie thing till he had to go all psycho jealous. He only told Denny he was going to die because he was jealous and though George needed to be told, Alex was just upset about being dumped and took it out on George 'cause he knew he wouldn't go anything about it. Though I was hoping George would have punched him good. He's just mean and such a jerk. Props to Izzie for dumping sorry butt.

    Loved the trailer park speech, but Izzie needs to let go. I see why she likes Denny (imagine how charming he'd be if he were well), but he is her patient and what she's doing is just wrong. She needs to give the case to someone else and walk away.

    I love that Bailey is back, but what women goes back to such a stressful job less than a month after giving birth and her husband must be still recovering from brain surgery. She should be at home.

    I'm liking Addison and McDreamy more and more every week. I really hope things work out for them.

    Christina and Burke were cute as always. I love them.

    The chief was interesting, they need to go into his past a bit more. We need more Chief!

    I really like George's knew love interest, many people don't 'cause she's fat. But I like the idea of George hooking up with a large woman of color, maybe she'll make him grow up a bit.

    None of the medical cases really stuck out tonight, there was nothing that interesting.

    Anyway, overall, it was an ok episode.moreless
  • Better than the last; still not great

    I definitely did not expect Richard to be an alcoholic.

    The awkwardness between Meredith, Derek, and Addison was just irritating. As much as I love Addison, I just want Derek to end it already and stop putting them and us through all this pain.

    As much as I don’t like Denny and do like Alex, I think the way Alex is trying to push Denny away from Izzie is disgusting. I get that he’s jealous, and he has every right to be, but to be so insensitive to a dying man is just unforgivable.

    I love Sara Ramirez (Callie)! I hope she is on the show for a while. I think she might be the perfect solution to George’s problems!moreless
  • much to talk about!!!

    The show opens with a very sad note as there are 4 deaths in the OR. What scares the surgeons the most is that all of them were the 1st operations of the morning and the story around the hospital is that deaths come in 3s and 7s. So all the surgeons are panicking as they do not want anyone else dying in there OR. All the doctors reach for there good luck charms. Also there patients admitted that are very superstitious. One refuses to have surgery because her horoscope told her to stay home, and the other has serious OCD. George finally calls Dr. Torres, and Dr. Burke puts him on a mission to find his lucky cap. Alex (that S.O.B.) is jealous of Danny and starts to tell him that it would be best if he does not lead Izzie on and this lead to a huge fight between Izzie and Alex. Finally the most interesting thing we learn in this episode is that Dr. Richard Webber is an ex alcoholic when an old friend of his is admitted into the hospital when she her liver is failing. I have to mention I love Addison, in my opinion Dr. Shepard is a total idiot to even consider Meredith as a friend, and I have to say I still have not forgiven Meredith for what she did to George. On the whole this episode was a good one and will certainly be the building block for many episodes of the future.moreless
  • Refer to the actual summary of the episode, why should I write it again?

    This show is obviously running out of steam. Week to week the quality decreases in proportion to the extremely outlandish story lines. It just seems to get more ridiculous with each "revelation" of a character, such as the Chief of Surgery\'s now apparent alcoholism and Meredith’s annoying dilemma of relationships, not to mention the crass behavior of Alex (who acts like that?) The dialogue needs a serious adjustment; I just cringe each time they refer to coffee as "ju-ju."moreless
  • Music from Superstition...

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

  • TRIVIA (5)

    • Last episode Izzie told Alex that the thing between them was over. Everything was done, but in this episode Alex asks her about sneaking out as if they were still together.

    • Goof: When you first see Izzie looking at the OR board, after she's been thrown out of Burke's operation, there are some sections of one of the operations rubbed out. When you next see her looking at the OR board, the row is magically filled up. Meredith and Bailey come along and Meredith rubs out the same sections again.

    • Goof: At the end of the episode, when Derek leaves his dead patient at the operation table and is followed by Cristina, the dead patient can be seen moving his eyelids.

    • Goof: At the end of the episode Miranda and Meredith are trying to revive their lightning patient. Miranda gets the difibrillater paddles from the nurse. Miranda forgets to put on the gause or cream on the paddles before shocking the patient.

    • Goof: At the end of the episode you see George take off his jacket, then in the next shot he's taking it off again.

  • QUOTES (25)

    • George: Hey. I didn't call. I should've called. I just- (Callie walks away) Oh. (George shakes his head and grabs out his cell phone. He starts dialing. He watches as Callie's phone starts ringing. She opens it up and sees it George calling. She shakes her head but answers it anyway) Hi, this is George O'Malley calling. You gave me your phone number. I know I should've called you sooner but I'm calling now and I just wanna know maybe you wanna go out with me sometime … because I love to watch you set bones and I oh I rarely spend that much time in a women's rest room. (Callie starts to smile) and I really like you. (Callie smiles broadly) So, is that a yes? (Callie nods and smiles)

    • Alex: Izzie paints a pretty picture because she likes you, you know.
      Denny: Okay.
      Alex: I'm just saying that she likes you. Which is going to be hard on her.
      Denny: You mean, when I die. Come on, I'm asking you man-to-man.
      Alex: With the clot in your pulmonary artery, it'll cut of the oxygen to your lungs. You'll die of hypoxia. If the hypoxia doesn't kill you, the strain on your heart will.
      Denny: And the surgery?
      Alex: It's not a routine procedure. You're at a serious risk for bleeding because of the anti-coagulants already in your system. (Denny is silent) What I'm saying is that Izzie likes you and she's not going to be the one to pull away.

    • Meredith: Uh, I'm getting the feeling she's a little bit of a stalker.
      Bailey: Do we need to call the police?
      Meredith: I don't think so. I think she's more of a gentle stalker than kill you with a knife stalker.
      Bailey: Right. Well let's hope she lives to gently stalk another day.

    • Richard: Ellis Grey's daughter is working at the hospital. Ellis is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's. I try to go see her every chance I get.
      Ollie (scoffs): You're having an affair with the woman that drove you to your alcoholic bottom?
      Richard: Ollie, we're not having an affair. She's sick.
      Ollie: You're lyin' to your wife?
      Richard: I'm not lying.
      Ollie: You're lying by omission! You're having an emotional affair and now you're lying to your sponsor about it.
      Richard: You haven't been my sponser in years.
      Ollie: I still have the right to bust your ass if I see you slipping.
      Richard: I'm not slipping!
      Ollie: Not yet. But you're making a pretty big mess. (she just stares at him) How many years you had now?
      Richard: Just passed 17.
      Ollie: I'm proud of you. ... I'm scared, too.
      Richard: You got me sober, Ollie. You walked me through it. And I'm gonna walk you through this.

    • Callie: You missed the boat George.
      George: You mean on this case or--
      Callie: Or a hot chick gives you her number, you're supposed to call. (she looks at Nikki for confirmation)
      Nikki: Yeah.
      George (whispers): I, I was, I mean I am goi-
      Callie: Too late.
      Nikki: Ouch. Don't give up. I mean if you really like her. (George looks taken aback. Meredith comes into the room and he gets more flustered)
      George: Uh, 'kay! (he leaves quickly)
      Nikki: Okay, the plot thickens.

    • Meredith (closing voiceover): Superstition lies in the space between what we can control and what we can't. Find a penny pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck. No one's wants to pass the chance of good luck but does saying it 33 times really help? Is anyone really listenning? And if no one's listenning, why do we bother doing those strange things at all? We relay on Superstitions because we're smart enough to know we don't have all the answers, and that life works in mysterious ways. Don't dis the juju form wherever it comes.

    • Cristina: You want me to pee in front of you? Is that what you want?
      George: You have it on you.
      Cristina: Oh, really? You want to go there?
      George: I want to go there.
      Cristina: So what are you going to do, Bambi? Take it from me.
      George: Burke said to do whatever I have to do and I am going to do whatever I have to do.

    • Denny: So, I wasn't one of the seven?
      Izzie: It's past midnight. There were only six.
      Denny: Then why are you crying?
      Izzie: I'm not crying.
      Denny: You are too.
      Izzie: Oh, damn it. ... I cannot fall for a patient.
      Denny (smiling): Oh. Okay... Good luck with that. (she laughs and kisses him)

    • Intern 1: I heard they're dying left and right.
      Intern 2: See? I told you there would be seven.
      Izzie: Who? Who died?
      Intern 1: Don't know. I bet it was that spleen chick. You heard she wouldn't let them operate?
      Intern 2: My money's on the chief's shunt.
      Alex: I have twenty says Burke's guy went down. Dude's a walking time bomb.
      Intern 2: Bet.

    • Meredith: How's your guy?
      Cristina: Brain's bleeding. Needs surgery. You wanna know why? 'Cause he couldn't move his car until he stopped counting.
      Meredith: My girl--ruptured spleen--won't have surgery because of her horoscope.
      Cristina: Oh, well, we should introduce them. They'd make a nice crazy couple. (George comes in and sits really close to Cristina) Oh you know what? I'm sitting next to Meredith. Have some self-respect.
      George: Dr. Burke's orders trump any personal issues I might have. (Cristina moves her chair away. George does the same to be close to her again)
      Meredith: Is the craziness rubbing off?
      Cristina: He's trying to stalk Burke's lucky cap from me.
      Meredith: Burke has hat juju?
      Cristina: Apparently.
      Meredith: And you're using it against him?
      Cristina: Well, they're forcing me to because of the clarinet playing, the running and all the breakfast food.
      Izzie: You guys, this whole death cluster thing is just ridiculous, right? I mean just because 4 died today doesn't necessarily mean there's going to be 3 more before midnight.
      Cristina: It doesn't, Tinkerbell? For real?
      Meredith: Are you worried about Denny?
      Izzie: Yeah. Of course I am. He's my patient. But if you're asking me if I'm "worried" about Denny, no. I'm sleeping with Alex, so... It's just...
      Cristina: Well, it's your case.
      Izzie: Yeah. I know. I'm just asking. You know as your boyfriend did he-
      Cristina: Well I don't know why you care. You're sleeping with Alex right?
      Izzie: Yeah.
      Cristina: Yeah.
      Izzie: Right, no whatever. I'm just saying, there's no such thing as a death cluster. It's just stupid, right?

    • Derek: Ah! Juju.
      Addison: Yep.
      Derek: You juju'ed Meredith.
      Addison: I did. In the spirit of friendship.
      Derek: Hmmm.
      Addison: What, are we not being friends with Meredith anymore?
      Derek: No, no, we are. Meredith and I are friends.
      Addison: And you and I are married. So by proxy, Meredith and I are friends.
      Derek: That's very big of you.
      Addison: Yeah.
      Derek: You don't have to do that. It's not like I'm going to be friends with...let's say... Mark.
      Addison: Yeah, well, neither am I. Now finish your juju before somebody else dies.

    • George: Can I have a bite of that?
      Cristina: No. You're in my apartment, you don't get to be in my food.
      George: Dr. Burke gave me a protein bar this morning.
      Cristina (to Meredith): He packs his lunch for him, did I mention?
      Izzie: I talked to the morgue guy this morning.
      Meredith: The one with the unibrow?
      Izzie: The one with the, like, teeth thing. And he said that surgical fatalities come in threes and sevens; says there'll be three more before midnight.
      Cristina: Ooh, okay then, since dead tooth morgue guy said so.
      Izzie: He's the morgue guy. He knows things about death.
      Meredith (she picks up something and hands it to George): You dropped this. (George walks away) He's still ignoring me.
      Cristina: Ignore him back.
      Meredith: Derek says I should apologize until he listens.
      Cristina: Derek says?
      Meredith: Its good advice, he's my friend. That's good friend advice.

    • Meredith (opening voiceover): My college campus has a magic statue. It's a longstanding tradition for students to rub its nose for good luck. My freshman roommate really believed in the statue's power and insisted on visiting it to rub its nose before every exam. Studying might have been a better idea, she flunked out her sophomore year. The fact is, we all have little superstitious things we do. If it's not believing in magic statues, it's avoiding sidewalk cracks or always putting our left shoe on first. Knock on wood. Step on a crack, break your mothers back. The last thing we want to do is offend the gods.

    • Cristina (to Izzie): You don't have to follow me. (walks up to Burke and hands him the cap)
      Burke: Thank you. How long have you had this? It's one of my favorites.
      Cristina: You know, you don't need it. I keep that cap in my locker because every morning I look at it and I'm reminded of what I'm here for and what I want to be. A great surgeon. A surgeon who is decisive, and who executes, and who doesn't need a piece of clothing to give him an edge in surgery. You don't need it.
      Burke: I know. You're right.
      Cristina: I know I'm right. (Burke walks off putting the cap on)

    • Addison: Ah, Dr. Bailey. Here you go. (she hands her a cup)
      Bailey: What's this?
      Addison: Hot cocoa. It's a little ritual we had in New York. Four surgeries, four deaths, I figured we could all use a little good juju.
      Bailey: And cocoa equals juju how?
      Addison: Hey, hey, hey don't question the cocoa.

    • Cristina: The guy didn't die because you weren't wearing one of your caps.
      Burke: Well, I know that. I just prefer wearing one of my one, it's a comfort thing.
      Cristina: Oh well…I prefer having George out of the apartment so I guess we both have comfort things.
      Burke: Yang, what are you saying?
      Cristina: Uh, you know, um, I have one of your caps in my locker.
      Burke: Why do you have one of my caps?
      Cristina: You know, that's not the point, the point is um…I think I'm going to keep it hostage. So you kick baby out, and you'll get your cap back.
      Burke: Oh, I don't do well with ultimatums.
      Cristina: Maybe you should think of it more as a trade.

    • (Cristina catches him going through her locker and he finds her bra and underwear)
      Cristina: You're a pervy little boy, George. And you're not finding the cap.
      George: I'll do your dishes for a month.
      Cristina: I don't do dishes.
      George: I'll do your laundry.
      Cristina: I don't do laundry.
      George: Maybe that's why Burke likes having me around so much.
      Cristina: Interesting. Interesting. Are you having sex with him?
      George: No.
      Cristina: Then he likes having me around more.
      George: Why does it always have to be a competition? (Cristina glares) What do you want for the cap?
      Cristina: You out of the apartment.
      George: I'm not leaving until Burke says I have to leave.
      Cristina: Then you're not getting the cap. (she throws the bra he pulled out of the locker in his face) Now, clean up my crap.

    • (Izzie walks up behind Cristina, grabs Cristina's arm and pulls her in a room)
      Cristina: Ow! Ow, you're touching me.
      Izzie: George says you have Burke's scrub cap.
      Cristina: So?
      Izzie: Give it to him.
      Cristina: No.
      Izzie: Give it to him, Cristina!
      Cristina: What is with you?
      Izzie: He needs it to operate.
      Cristina: No, he doesn't. (she moves to walk away, and Izzie pushes her back)
      Izzie: That isn't your decision to make. Not when he's going in on Denny. Now are you gonna give it to him or am I gonna to physically take it from you?
      Cristina (shocked, laughs): Are you threatening me?
      Izzie (moving closer to her): I swear to god, Cristina, I like you. I really do. But I grew up in a trailer park and I'm not above kicking your pampered Beverly Hills ass. And I do mean, physically kicking your ass. (Cristina looks scared)

    • George (after Callie sees him in the women's bathroom on top of Cristina, trying to get Burke's cap from her): Dr. Torres.
      Callie: Dr. O'Malley, you're aware that this is the women's bathroom.
      George: Yes, ma'am. (Callie walks out of the bathroom)
      Cristina: Dude, you called her ma'am she's never gonna sleep with you now.

    • George: Hey, have you seen Burke?
      Izzie: He's on the phone with the laundry, they still can't find his scrub caps.
      George: That's what I gotta tell him, Cristina won't give hers back. Unless I'm ready to hit a woman. And even though it's Cristina I'm not ready to cross that line. (starts walking away)
      Izzie: Wait! (she grabs his arm roughly) Cristina, has one of Burke's scrub caps?
      George: She's holding it hostage. Why do you think I'm stalking her?

    • Meredith: I got hot chocolated. She-Shepherd hot chocolated me. It's her juju.
      Cristina: I don't like people who say juju.

    • (They are all standing in the ER and there are no patients around)
      Cristina: Great. No blood, no guts, no lives to save. It's dead quiet.
      Bailey: Did you really just say that?
      Izzie: Cristina!
      Cristina: What?
      George: You said the "Q" word.
      Izzie: It's like saying "MacBeth" in the theatre.
      Cristina: Please. You think that when someone says it's quiet that'll mean--- (a person rushes in asking for help, and is followed by all of them being paged) Can anyone spell coincidence?

    • Izzie: What did you say to him?
      Alex: Who?
      Izzie: You know who. What the hell, why does Denny think he's dying?
      Alex: Well, maybe because there is a good chance that he is.
      Izzie: Just so we're clear, we're over, Alex. This isn't working.
      Alex: You're breaking up with me over a corpse.
      Izzie: No! No, I'm breaking up with you because on your very best day…that corpse is twice the man that you will ever be. You're not good enough for me, Alex. You're not good enough for any woman.

    • Alex: O'Malley, you are a sad excuse for a man.
      George: Excuse me?
      Alex: I know you heard me. You're like a whiney little girl.
      Meredith: Alex!
      Alex: You know why he's not speaking to you because he's not over you. (turns to George) Man, you got laid, it went badly, a man would move on but you, you mope around this place like a dog that likes to get kicked. You make me sick! And if it wouldn't get me kicked out of the program I'd smash your pathetic little face right (hits locker) into that locker!

    • Bailey (about Nikki, to Meredith): Poor girl's going to kill herself trying not to die.

Review Quotes Photos

The episode opens with Penny and Leonard in bed and after quoting Penny quotes Star Wars, Leonard confesses his love to her only to get a thank you back.  Despite their problems, the not-so-happy couple joins the rest of the gang in a bowling match off against Stuart's crew, which includes Wil Wheaton as a substitute.  During the first round, Leonard harasses Penny about not saying I love you back and she eventually storms off.  Sheldon manages to get them a do-over, but this time, Wheaton gets inside Penny's head and convinces her to break up with Leonard.  She ends up breaking up with him, storming off.  The boys end up losing and forced to wear female superhero costumes.

Episode Number:

It was a good change to see brains and beauty in a loving relationship and was fun to see it grow, but sad to hear it is considered by viewers as lame. Wheaton just makes my anger boil and not fun to watch the show takes that direction. Leslie Winkle with Leonard is just too boring, not funny for two of the same to pair up.

The Big Bang Theory Season 3 Episode 19 Quotes

Wolowitz: Okay forgot giant ants. How about giant rabbits?
Raj: Big or small, I don't like rabbits. They always look like they're about to say something, but they never do.
Sheldon: Rabbits do have a respiratory system that would support great size. And as a side note, they are one of the few animals whose scrotum is on the front of the penis.
Raj: Maybe that's what they want to talk about.

Leonard: If my PE teachers told me this is what I was training for I would have tried a lot harder.
Penny: Do or do not, there is no try.
Leonard: Did you just quote Star Wars?
Penny: I believe I quoted Empire Strikes Back.

Kirstie Alley, Leah Remini Kirstie Alley, Leah Remini

Kirstie Alley has never been one to mince words, and during an interview with Howard Stern on Wednesday, the actress turned her tongue against Leah Remini.

Alley called Remini, who left Scientology in July, a "bigot" and asserted that her negative claims about the church are "bullsh--." Remini said in September that she has lost friends since leaving Scientology and that the church was looking for her to fail onDancing with the Stars, where she finished in fifth place.

Stars who quit Scientology

"The thing about me is, I don't care what religion you are. If someone is attacking your religion, I will have your back, and I will defend you. I think that is the most repulsive thing a person can do, attack another person's faith," Alley explained. "Because a faith is what you look to to have hope, and is what you look to to help other people. I just think it's really wrong."

Alley, who's been a member of the church since the '70s, took umbrage with Remini's statement that she "lost friends" when she left. "First of all, I just want to everyone to know I have hundreds of friends and people that I know that have come into Scientology and left Scientology," Alley continued. "It is not true that you cannot [leave]. You're not shunned, you're not chased. All that stuff's bullsh--."

The biggest celebrity feuds

The actress said her real issue with Remini is the way she used sweeping statements to portray the entire religion and all its followers in a negative light."When you are generalizing, and when your goal is to malign and to say things about an entire group -- there are tens of millions of Scientologists in the world -- when you decide to blanket statement that 'Scientology is evil,' you are my enemy," Alley said.

"The truth is, I don't think I've seen Leah for seven or eight years, not for any reason other than I'm acting, and she's acting," Alley added. "I didn't care if she was in or out."

But now, Alley has taken steps to assure her contact with Remini continues to be nonexistent. "I have blocked her on Twitter," she said. "Because she's a bigot. If someone was really out there [saying negative things about your religion], would they be your friend? They wouldn't be mine. It's not selective, I just won't have people in my life that are that."

Remini is taking the high road in the feud. Asked by TMZ for comment Friday, Remini replied, "I just wish the best for people."

2014 Emmy Picks: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series

true detective

With the Emmy Awards airing this coming Monday, August 25th, on NBC, I wanted to share my picks and predictions for what actors and series should win and will win in the five major categories for both drama and comedy. Now, for my choices of who should win, I must pick someone who has been nominated. I, for example, cannot write-in Tatiana Maslany as a pick for Lead Actress, even though I think she is most deserving, because she did not receive an Emmy nomination. Also, while I’ve seen a lot of the shows and actors who are nominated for Emmys, I have not seen all of them, so some of my judgments may be limited by what I have or have not seen.

Today, I’ll be looking at the drama fields, focusing on the races for Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor, Lead Actress, Lead Actor, and Drama Series. I already said who I think should win and will in the supporting and lead actress races. Now I turn my attention over to one of the most interesting categories of the night: Outstanding Lead Actor.

Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad

Jeff Daniels, The Newsroom

Jon Hamm, Mad Men

Woody Harrelson, True Detective

Matthew McConaughey, True Detective

Kevin Spacey, House of Cards

Should win/will win: Matthew McConaughey, True Detective

But Cranston? What about Bryan Cranston? Some of you may be shouting that at your computer screens right now, and I can’t blame you. Bryan Cranston delivered an incredible performance during the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad and was absolutely breathtaking in every single moment of the show’s best episode of all-time, “Ozymandias.” He no doubt deserves to win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in Drama Series this year.

However, for as great as Cranston was, Matthew McConaughey was, in my opinion, equally as good. For the eight weeks that True Detective was on the air, you could not find a more interesting character on television than Rust Cohle. Every nihilistic monologue, every one-line, every facial expression, McConaughey absolutely nailed. He presented Rust as a broken man and showed us his cracks and flaws, but he also completely pulled off the character’s season long evolution that culminated in the momentary, near-death change of heart that Rust expresses in the finale, that the “light is winning.” In my opinion, it’s one of the best television performances of all-time from one of the best actors that is out there today.

Emmy voters love honoring movie stars that come to television, and there’s no bigger film actor right now than McConaughey, who just won an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club earlier this year and is starring in Christopher Nolan’s new film, Interstellar, this November. Cranston already has three of these awards and hasn’t won one since 2010, somehow getting beat out by Jeff Daniels last year, which better not happen again. This may be the only opportunity McConaughey has to win an Emmy during his career, and the voters will most certainly give it to him.

Commission raises more than $100 million in bids for MVDDS licenses

February 3, 2004

Nearly $120 million in net bids were given at the FCC auction of spectrum for Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service (MVDDS) which ended Jan. 27, according to the Commission.

After 49 rounds of bidding, which began Jan. 14, the exact total for net bids was $118,721,835.

The auction included 214 geographic area licenses. A total of 192 received winning bids. Each license consists of one 500 MHz block of unpaired spectrum in the 12.2 GHz to 12.7 GHz band.

Any digital fixed non-broadcast service, including one-way direct-to-home/office wireless service is permissible. Licensees may provide one-way video programming and data services on a non-common carrier and/or common carrier basis. Mobile and aeronautical services are not authorized.

Two-way services may be provided by using other spectrum or media for the return or upstream path. Licensees are subject to a construction requirement that they provide “substantial service” in the license area within five years of receiving the license.

Those who submitted winning bids must make down payments on the licenses 10 days after the release of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau’s Public Notice announcing the close of the auction and file FCC Form 601.

Uh-Oh: Fox Shuffles Drama Series to Friday Night

Mar 4, 2014  •  Post A Comment

Fox has made the decision to move a drama series to Friday night — never an encouraging sign for a show struggling to find an audience.

The show is the new series “Rake,” starring Greg Kinnear. Writing on Deadline.com, Nellie Andreeva reports that the drama series “has faced the inevitable” after failing to draw viewers, and will be moved to Fridays starting next week.

The move comes after the show hit a new series low with a 0.8 average rating in adults 18-49 last week, the piece notes. The show has been airing on Thursdays.

Fox will instead air “Hell’s Kitchen” on Thursdays, bringing the reality competition to the 8 p.m. time slot and providing a lead-in for the “American Idol” results show.

“Rake” will replace “Kitchen Nightmares” on Fridays, with the latter show on hold to air later, the story notes. “Rake” will be followed by “Enlisted” and “Raising Hope.”

The legal drama “never connected with viewers. It got off to a soft start, logging a 1.7 in its Jan. 23 debut, and wasn’t helped by the fact that it had to face three weeks of Olympics coverage two weeks into its run,” Andreeva notes.

AMD intros "Black Edition" Phenom 9600

Candy for overclockers

| CPU, APU & Chipsets News | Posted: Dec 20, 2007 2:45 am

To help try and regain some attention towards Phenom, AMD have just announced a "Black Edition" 9600 series processor which makes for far more flexible overclocking with its fully unlocked multiplier.

As with the standard Phenom 9600, This quad core processor operates at a stock clockspeed of 2.3GHz and has 2MB of shared L3 cache and 512KB of L2 cache per core.

XBit Labs have further details on it here.

Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday announced its new AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition microprocessor designed specifically for gamers and overclockers and which performance can be customized using AMD's OverDrive utility directly from Microsoft Windows operating system.

Quad-core AMD Phenom processor 9600 Black Edition will operate at 2.30GHz clock-speed, 2MB shared L3 cache and 512KB dedicated L2 cache per core and will have support for dual-channel PC2-8500 (DDR2 1066MHz), just like the typical AMD Phenom 9600 chip. However, the Black Edition processor has unlocked clock multiplier, which allows enthusiasts to clock the new chip higher than 2.30GHz without any issues that are associated with overclocking.

Mvix Wireless Hi-Definition Media Player - Settings

Today we take a look at an excellent alternative to a dedicated home theatre PC for multimedia content in your lounge.

By: | Players & Accessories in HT & Movies | Posted: Sep 19, 2007 4:00 am
TweakTown Rating: 92%Manufacturer: Mvix USA

Now that we have taken a quick look at the main unit and gone over what it is capable of, let's set this beast up and see what it can do for real.

The first thing we need to do is to tell the device just how we want it to communicate with our television. To make changes, you use the included remote control, or you can use the joystick on the front of the main unit. I found that the remote is much easier to use and pretty much idiot-proof. Just make the appropriate adjustments to the settings and you're off. For those who need a PAL output signal, fear not; the MX-760HD is fully compatible with either the PAL or NTSC standards.

The "Network" tab has nothing unexpected so we'll move on to the next one in line. While there isn't anything out of the ordinary here, I wanted to point out this product is fully capable of connecting to your home network even if encrypted with a WEP key. I'll be the first to admit that it was a bit of a pain to manually enter this key into the device, but it was to be expected given that I was using the remote. After entering the key, I was able to connect with no problems at all. Just make sure that you have the directory you want access to set as a shared resource so this device can get to your video files.

The Playback tab allows you to make adjustments to how your content will be displayed on screen. It also lets you enhance the manner in which subtitles are displayed.

The Misc tab gives you some general administrative type functions and also gives you a place to update the firmware if this becomes necessary.

After we get the unit set up to work with our audio and display components, we are ready to kick this thing into high gear. Above shows your initial screen where you choose the source of where you want to get your content from. The "HDD1" choice is the hard drive I installed into the unit and the "Movies" choice is a wireless connection to my primary computer. Select the appropriate location and hit the OK button on the remote and you will be presented with a listing of all supported files. As noted a little earlier, this list will scroll the entire file name, unlike the front LCD panel, so you can make sure that you are selecting the movie that you really want to see.

So how does the MX-760HD handle video files?

RadioShack Will Open In 9 Alco Stores

9/04/2006 02:00:00 AM Eastern

RadioShack will establish a retail presence in nine ALCO discount variety stores in October.

The move is part of a co-branding retail franchise agreement with ALCO parent Duckwall-ALCO, which operates 254 stores throughout the central U.S. The arrangement will allow ALCO to expand its CE assortment to include RadioShack's brand and product lines, while creating a new channel opportunity for RadioShack in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and North Dakota, where the nine full-line stores are located.

The rollout follows a successful test of the concept at an ALCO store here, and will be followed by additional locations by year's end.

Bruce Dale, president/CEO of Duckwall-ALCO Stores. “Our test program with RadioShack in our Abilene, Kan., store has been a huge success, and we saw electronics sales exceed expectations during the four-month test period.”

Paul Rickels, RadioShack's dealer franchise VP, said, “Convenient store locations in neighborhoods across the country are a part of our heritage, and Duckwall-ALCO enables us to cost-effectively build on that tradition.”

Dale said if results follow those of the Abilene test, the agreement could expand to additional ALCO stores.

Tad Montana Becker (Courtesy of Ramsey County sheriff's office)

A St. Paul man with four previous felony convictions was charged with malicious punishment of a child after the toddler he was watching was hospitalized with bruising and persistent vomiting.

The boy's mother asked her boyfriend, Tad Montana Becker, to babysit her 2-year-old on Dec. 10, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Ramsey County District Court.

The boy had been vomiting the previous night but had no marks on his body when his mother left for work, the complaint said.

According to the charges:

Becker, 27, was sitting on the couch crying when the mother returned home. He told her, "You're going to be mad at me," and explained that the boy had burned his finger when Becker was in the basement washing his soiled clothes.

After the mother turned the boy over to his father later that day, the father noticed marks on the boy. He took the next two days off work and stayed home to care for the child, who continued to vomit.

The father took the boy to Children's Hospital on Dec. 12. Doctors noted bruises on his jaw, lip, left ear, stomach and lower back. He also had an injury to his lip and a chipped tooth.

More ominous were a "possible laceration of the spleen and signs of a bowel injury" which showed up on a CT scan. The scan also showed a "questionable healing fracture" of a rib.

The boy's internal injuries appeared to cause the vomiting by interfering with bowel function.

The hospital discharged him two days later.

But he continued to vomit "one to five times a day" when back at home. The mother returned him to the hospital. He was readmitted Jan. 22. Doctors found a small bowel obstruction and performed surgery to remove part of the bowel.

The injuries likely occurred before the boy originally came to the hospital Dec. 10.

"In the absence of known trauma, the cause of (his) injuries was diagnosed as child abuse," the complaint said.

Becker told police upon his arrest that the day he watched the boy was uneventful. He denied he disciplined him.

Police showed him pictures of the bruising on the boy's abdomen. It "matched up with an adult man's hands grabbing him hard," police said. Becker said he picked the boy up after he burned his finger but denied doing it forcefully.

He said he was crying when the boy's mother got home because he hadn't seen his own daughter since getting out of jail two months earlier.

He faces one charge of felony malicious punishment of a child.

Becker was being held in lieu of $40,000 bail Wednesday at the Ramsey County Jail. No attorney was listed for him on a court record Wednesday.

Further information about the child's current condition could not be obtained Wednesday.

The imam cupped his palms before his face and invited the congregation to pray. “Oh Allah, return to us those who are lost. Oh, Allah, grant safe passage to MH370,” he said.

The prayer was not unusual. The setting was.

Gathered in the courtyard of a shopping mall in a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, the Muslim religious leader was followed by a Christian reading from the Bible, then a Buddhist monk, a Hindu and finally a Taoist priest echoing the imam's pleas before hundreds of worshippers in a largely Muslim country where religious intolerance has been on the rise.

The baffling mystery over the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 with 239 people on March 8 has united Malaysia, a nation of numerous ethnicities, as never before in recent memory.

Tuesday night's interfaith ceremony would have been inconceivable 11 days ago in the country of 28 million people where religious differences and bigotry have often been on open display. For Malaysians the sight of non-Muslims bowing respectfully as Imam Hilman Nordin said prayers from the rostrum was an incredible step toward unity. While there have been interfaith prayers before, they have always been without a Muslim representative.

Muslims have been at loggerheads with Christians and Hindus in recent years, and some sermons last month identified Christians and Jews as enemies of Islam.

Hard-line Muslims have called for the burning of Bibles and in January firebombs were thrown into a church compound. A few years ago, a group of Muslims stomped on the severed head of a cow outside a Hindu temple. Cows are sacred to Hindus.

Some of the enmity rises from the right of non-Muslims to use the word “Allah.” The government and hardliners say Allah—the Arabic word for God—is exclusively for Malay Muslims, who account for about 60 percent of the population. The Roman Catholic Church has challenged that assertion in an ongoing court case which many Muslims see as a threat to the dominance of Islam. Most indigenous tribes in Borneo are Christians and speak only the Malay language in which the word for God is Allah.

The case remains unresolved in court and religious tension continues to fester.

But  differences have been set aside—at least temporarily—following the disappearance of the plane after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8. A massive sea and air hunt by 26 nations continues.

Thousands of Malaysians of all ethnic backgrounds were also touched by the tweets of Maira Elizabeth Nari, daughter of the chief steward aboard the plane.

“It has been more than 100 hours. Where are you?” she wrote in one tweet. One of her 40,000 followers encouraged her, saying, “Keep on praying, pray to Allah.”

At the interfaith vigil at the Curve in the Kuala Lumpur suburb of Damansara Perdana, leaders of several religious groups went on stage to offer their prayers. Many in the crowd wore white T-shirts with the words “Unite for MH370”³ and held white balloons with handwritten messages of hope.

“Today is a rare occasion for us to bring unity, peace and harmony,” said a Buddhist monk who chanted a prayer for the plane's safety.

Teh Su They, whose Global Peace Foundation co-organized the gathering with local singer Reshmonu, a Hindu, said the tragedy showed that “deep inside the heart of every Malaysian, we care for one another, that we are one family. In this difficult time we need to come closer to support each other.”

In a statement, Reshmonu said, “For one night, we forget our divisions and stand united for... faith, compassion and love.”

“Because of this tragedy, we stand as one and respect one another's religion. I see this as Allah's wisdom behind this tragedy to reunite all Malaysians,” said Nurul Arfarina Nasir, a 28-year-old housewife wearing a headscarf and holding a white balloon.

Creamy Veggie Winter Soup!

There is nothing I enjoy more than a great bowl of soup during the winter months. It's comforting, warming, and my recipe possibilities are endless. Served with a golden brown piece of rustic bread, it's a meal that's hard to beat. Here is my recipe for creamy vegetable soup!

  • 2 onions
  • 2 potatoes
  • 4 green onions or leeks
  • 1/2 head of cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup of frozen peas
  • 1/4 lb of green beans
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese - shredded
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt, pepper
Chop the onions and potatoes into large chunks and add to a large pot. Add 5 cups of water, the garlic, and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through.
Using a blender (or immersion blender), blend the mixture and strain. This should create several cups of stock. Set this aside, you'll use it in a bit.

Slice the remaining vegetables, and cook on low with 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large saucepan until slightly softened. This will take between 5-8 minutes.
Note: I usually add the veggies in the following order: carrots, onions, cauliflower, peas, green beans.

Add the remaining butter to the stock pot (that you used in step 1), and add the flour. Cook for 30 seconds, or until well-combined.
Slowly add the stock, and bring to a low boil. At this point, your stock should thicken!
Add the vegetables and cook for 8-10 more minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked through.
Add the cream, half of the cheese, salt, and pepper.
Upon serving, top with the remaining cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.

Thierry Blancpain is a geography buff and a Zürich-based designer. He likes curves and cats. At night he works hard to take over the world.

About GT Pressura
Inspired by type stamped on shipping boxes, GT Pressura uses the visual effect of ink spreading under pressure as a stylistic device. The condensed sans serif alludes to a scientific background but with its rounded corners shows a soft and friendly side in larger sizes.

About GT Walsheim
Inspired by the lettering of Swiss poster designer legend Otto Baumberger from the 1930s, GT Walsheim is a friendly but precise typeface. Unlike other geometric sans-serifs, it sports warm curves and wears a broad smile. This allows for use in both large and small sizes.

About GT Haptik
GT Haptik is a Grotesque typeface with a very special characteristic: Its uppercase letters and numbers are optimized to be read blindfolded and by touching them. Because of that its glyphs are monoline and geometrical. Optical criteria become secondary. This gives the typeface a weird but also very charmful touch that plays well not only in display sizes, but also for short text use.

Essay Support for Students

Essays are generally used by faculty for student submission of short essays/papers. The Task tool is more frequently used for attaching longer papers that are heavily formatted with endnotes, footnotes, hanging indents, etc. Essays may be displayed for everyone to view after submission with/without students name attached.

IMPORTANT: All the tools in UAS Online can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of instructors. Don't assume that using a tool in one class will be identical with another. Some of the Quizzes, Essays and Tasks will be configured to allow editing after you submit, however, many DO NOT. Make sure you know before you click on the link to the quiz, essay or task.

Common Faculty Configurations

Typing & Pasting in Text Box

Many faculty request that students either write their response directly into the text box using the built in editing tools or use a word processor to cut and paste the essay into the text box. It is advantageous to use your word processor to create the document and then paste it into the online editor. This will prevent the possible loss of your content if your computer fails while writing your essay. (This assumes you have autosave set on your word processor.)

The built in editor has many capabilities that word processors have including basic formatting and a spell checker. (Editor Help) Most essays do not demand a lot of formatting and I would suggest you use only formatting that clearly enhances the reading of your response.

If you cut and paste from MS-Word use the Paste As Word icon to paste your response into the text box. Limit any formatting changes you make after cutting and pasting to avoid possible editing messes. If you need to make a lot of formatting changes I would suggest you make them in your word processor and then paste the finished document into your response.

If you are not using MS-Word as your word processor cut and paste the text in with one of the following buttons. Paste The button on the left will paste with the formatting while the button on the right will paste without formatting.

Attachments with the Text Box

Some faculty prefer to have you turn in your work as an attachment in MS-Word format. Even if your word processor is not Microsoft it will have the ability to save in MS-Word format or as RTF which will open in Word. If you are a MAC user, make sure you save the document with the file extension on the name or it will not work. The "Add Attachment" link will be located on the bottom right of the form that you will submit with your paper.

When you click on the link to the Essay you may see just one essay questions as displayed below or it could be many.

Create Response

Click on the link above which will be either "Submit Answer" or "Create Response". The following window will open with the text editor. NOTE: While we are discussing how to add the attachment be aware that you can also add text to the box below and then move your attachment within that text.

To add an attachment click on the "Add Attachment" link below the text box.

Essay Question
Response Window

This link shows the steps to adding an attachment.

Viewing graded Essay

Faculty will inform you of their essay process. Here are some possibilities how the graded essay may be configured.

  • Essay Results may be posted in the Assignments window.
  • Results may be shared with class by name or anonymous
  • Essays may be annotated by instructor or only a summary comment may be included
  • Results may be posted to Gradebook
  • Instructor may have a prepared response that can be viewed when the question is submitted.
  • Grade may be attached to finished essay.

For Success

  1. Cutting & Pasting
    • Make sure you use the proper icon in the UAS Online editor when pasting.
    • Always paste the whole document and do your editing in your word processor.
  2. Keep a copy of your document for review. It may not be available online.
  3. Proofread before submitting!!
  4. Make sure you are clear about the instructions for the essay since there are many different ways of configuring them.

It was rumored a couple of months ago that HTC is developing a new Windows Phone 8 devicet that is based on the design of its popular HTC One smartphone. This device has been rumored a couple of times, apparently it carries the “Harmony” codename inside the company. Today the alleged specifications of HTC Harmony have leaked. It is expected that the company might launch this smartphone in either October or November.

The rumor claims that HTC Harmony will come equipped with a 4.7 inch LCD3 full HD 1080p display, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board storage, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, Beats Audio, BoomSound, Ultrapixel rear camera and a 2,300mAh battery. HTC hasn’t said if it is indeed in the process of developing a new Windows Phone 8 smartphone. Apart from that, this rumor comes from a source that doesn’t have any track record, good or bad, so a grain of salt is definitely advised. The rumor doesn’t talk about pricing or specific availability dates. Only recently Microsoft announced that it has acquired Nokia core phone business. Many people were wondering how other WP8 manufacturers will feel about this deal. HTC only said that it is “assessing” the situation, it hasn’t said as yet if there’s any radical change to its Windows Phone 8 strategy.

Boyce's heart lifted by Cliftonville run

He travels the world as FIFA vice-president and UEFA committee chairman but Jim Boyce is Cliftonville FC through and through and thrilled to see them top in Northern Ireland.

Jim Boyce's various positions take him all over the world – only last week he was in Japan – but there is one destination logged at the top of his sentimental satnav.

Ask the FIFA vice-president, UEFA Youth and Amateur Football Committee chairman and honorary Irish Football Association (IFA) life president to name his first sporting love and his reply is almost instant. "Cliftonville," he told "In football that is the most important thing to me. No matter where I am in the world, I always try to get home to go to games."

Location and work commitments permitting, Boyce can be seen watching his beloved Reds from his preferred vantage spot; lounging on the edge of a low whitewash wall a handful of metres from the home dugout. It is from there that the 68-year-old Cliftonville FC president has witnessed a potpourri of highs and lows during his time supporting a club that has forever nestled beneath the shadow of Belfast's 'big two' of Linfield FC and Glentoran FC.

Pinpointing the headiest high of his six decades following the north Belfast team as both fan and director is a simple task. "Being club chairman when we won the league championship in 1998," said Boyce. "It was the first time in 88 years Cliftonville had celebrated the title, so it was very special. That is something that stays with you."

Almost 15 years later and Cliftonville are chasing their first championship since that memorable landmark moment in '98. The Reds lie seven points clear atop the Northern Irish Premiership with 20 games played of a 38-match campaign. North Belfast rivals Crusaders FC, themselves targeting a first title since 1997, head the chasing pack in second, while reigning champions Linfield – with six domestic doubles in the last seven seasons – are 14 points off the summit in fifth.

"We are doing all right at the moment," said Boyce. "We are seven points clear and also 14 points above Linfield which, believe me, is always significant, particularly at this stage of the season. Linfield have won six doubles in seven years and are the champions, so they have been the benchmark in recent times. We have gone close in the past number of seasons – we were second in 2010 and third last year – but never quite got over the finishing line.

"It does look as if it will be tighter this season and we are in a decent position, but this league is very competitive and everyone at Cliftonville knows there is a long way to go."

The Reds have won their last 11 fixtures in all competitions and are currently odds-on favourites to secure only the fourth championship in their 133-year history. Manager Tommy Breslin boasts an experienced squad and two of the league's most prolific scorers – Liam Boyce and Joe Gormley who have 19 and 16 goals respectively across all fronts this term.

"There is no doubt this team has the ability to score goals," continued Boyce, no relation of highly rated 21-year-old Northern Ireland forward Liam. "It also has a pool of 19 or 20 players of equal ability, so there is reserve strength to fall back on if there are injuries or suspensions. That's always a positive thing heading into the busy Christmas and New Year period."

The Center for Forest Nursery and Seedling Research has one of the most generous graduate fellowships offered at any university, at $32,000 per year for two years and a waiver of tuition for non-residents of Idaho.

Research at the CFNSR has benefited regional nurseries, foresters and researchers through the effective transfer of results to operational practice, with the focus of improving forest tree seedling quality and plantation establishment success. Current and future research covers a broad set of topics ranging from basic science to applied problem solving, recognizing the dynamic nature of forestry and the importance of restoration and range management.

The research program at CFNSR examines native plant regeneration in a changing climate; in particular, developing a broader understanding of the ranges of tolerance of plants to environmental extremes, such as cold and hot temperatures, and to the quantity and timing of moisture availability. The success of current restoration/revegetation practices, as well as the likelihood of natural reestablishment, becomes less predictable when soil moisture is depleted and replenished differently from the pattern at which those plants established and/or evolved. The CFNSR program is uniquely positioned to answer some of these questions, particularly as they relate to management.

Oxbow Graduate Fellowship
University of Idaho Center for Forest Nursery and Seedling Research

The Center for Forest Nursery and Seedling Research at the University of Idaho is seeking an outstanding candidate for graduate research, preferably at the M.S. level, with interest in native plant regeneration, nursery management, seedling production, or restoration of degraded lands. This unique fellowship provides an opportunity for applied research, teaching and technology transfer, and experience in native plant nursery production. Approximately half of the fellowship will be conducted based out of Moscow, ID at the University of Idaho main campus, and the other half at the Oxbow Center for Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment (Carnation, WA).

February 22nd, 2012

It’s amazing how learning a new skill or process can make you feel overwhelmed and out of your comfort zone. Sometimes we’re asked to follow a set of tasks or procedures that just doesn’t make sense and seems repetitious. Yet after a period of time we start to see how these tasks connect, make sense, and eventually become second nature. The “aha moment” of mastering a new skill is usually subtle mostly because it takes so much practice to become good at this new skill.

In today’s UIEtips, Jeff Gothelf compares the lessons that the Karate Kid experiences to how you adapt Agile into UX. I think you’ll find this comparion interesting and enlightening.

Read the article, What The Karate Kid Can Teach Us About Agile and UX.

We know switching to an Agile process is challenging. That’s why we decided to concentrate half the UX Immersion conference around Agile. This first-time event features three full-day workshops by experts Hugh Beyer, Jeff Gothelf, and David McFarland, who will deliver in-depth training to get us ready to handle whatever Agile wants to throw at us. There are still a few special price seats available. Learn more at UXIM.co

Waited for the prime conditions ten minutes after the sun dipped below the horizon. This has felt impossible on many many sessions over the last two years, chuffed.

Forestry Suppliers, Inc. provides thousands of products for natural resource professionals around the world. But it didn’t start out as a direct-mail supplier; when James “Jim” Craig humbly started the company back in 1949, all orders were loaded into a red wagon and pulled to the local post office. The first of those sales was a tree scale stick, which retailed for $1.60, plus a Mississippi sales tax of three cents. Despite the economic turndown, Jim and his wife kept things operating out of their home and the startup began to grow. A lot has changed since 1949. Today, the retailer encompasses more than 100,000 square feet of office and warehouse space, and ships supplies to professionals in the forestry, environmental science, surveying, engineering, horticulture and grounds maintenance industries, among others. From apparel and lab products to protective equipment and reference books, Forestry Suppliers, Inc. provides a wide range of products and services to industry professionals around the globe. But the “Red Wagon” hasn’t been forgotten. They maintain its legacy by providing superb customer service, technical support, bilingual sales support, an in-house repair service, and more—all to ensure that the customer’s needs are exceeded each and every time.

John Zito Returns to the Sidelines as Assistant Coach for Men's Basketball

BALTIMORE- John Zito has been named assistant men's basketball coach at UMBC, acting head coach Aki Thomas announced today.

Zito served on the UMBC basketball staff from May of 2008 through October of 2011 before pursuing other career opportunities.

The Windsor, Conn. native was a two-time team captain for the Retrievers, serving in that role in both the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. The 6-6 forward earned America East Second Team honors in his senior season, after leading UMBC with 13.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Zito averaged 9.8 points per game in his career, amassing 978 points (15th in school history) in 100 career games with the Retrievers.

He graduated in May of 2006 with a double major in sociology and American studies.

Zito, 27, played professionally for Andrea Costa Basket in Imola, Italy in the summer and fall of 2006. He came back to Baltimore and served as head coach (boys' thirds) at the Beth Tfiloh Community School for the 2006-07 season. He then returned to his home state in '07-'08, serving as a volunteer assistant coach at Fairfield University.

Zito replaces Walt Fuller on the 2012-13 staff and will be reunited with Jay Greene on the sidelines. The two competed together for UMBC in the 2005-2006 campaign.

Beeman Breaks Pentathlon Record as UMBC Track and Field Opens Weekend with Competition at Penn State Nationals

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – UMBC junior Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) finished eighth in the pentathlon, scoring a school-record 3,277 points, as the Retriever track and field program opened the weekend at the Penn State Nationals, Friday evening at the Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track.

Beeman, who claimed the school record in the high jump two weeks ago at the Terrapin Invitational, grabbed the top score in the pentathlon by surpassing Chowan Brightful's total of 3,227 set during the 2010-11 season.  Beeman placed tied for third in the high jump after clearing 1.67m (5'5.75") and took seventh in the shot put (9.53m; 31'3.25").

A week after breaking the school mark in the 3,000m run, sophomore Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) ran a personal-best in the 5,000m at Penn State, missing out on the UMBC record by less than a second.  Omar placed seventh in the race, crossing the line with a personal-best time of 14:40.20 to move up to second all-time in program history.

Sprinter Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) advanced to the finals of the 60m dash, finishing sixth overall.  The junior placed fourth in the preliminary round with a time of 7.49, and then qualified for the finals by finishing sixth by replicating her time in the semifinals.  In the finals, Jackson clocked in at 7.53.

In the weight throw, junior Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) recorded a season-best of 17.06m (55'11.75") to place ninth.  Senior Ray Stinsman III (Mt. Laurel, N.J./Lenape) finished 17th, also with a season-best heave (15.48m; 50'9.50"), as well.

Sophomore Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) paced the women in the event, taking 16th overall.  Edokobi recorded a toss of 15.02m (49'3.50") while her classmate Jennifer Nelson (Plainfield, Conn./Plainfield) registered a top toss of 13.36m (43'10.00") to finish 22nd.

The Retrievers continue the weekend tomorrow with the second day of the Penn State Nationals, in addition to athletes competing at the Patriot Games at George Mason.
