Afer a dsapponng 2011 campagn, he Bulldogs had worked hard all offseason o brng excemen back o he cour. In her frs year of elgbly, hey exceeded expecaons, earnng her frs ever rp o he posseason n Dvson 1 acon. Capvaed by jaw-droppng dunks, drves o he fas lane, and enacous defense, he Bulldogs really kep fans on he edge of her seas, and played o proudly represenng Bryan Unversy. However, all grea hngs mus come o an end. The Bulldogs los a hear-breakng game o Moun S. Mary s, 75-69, n her frs ever playoff game n Dvson 1 baskeball. Every player played lke was her las game, gvng her all for 40 mnues on he cour. Forward Alex Francs led he eam wh 21 pons, and snagged egh rebounds. In he las game of hs Bulldog career, guard Franke Dobbs scored 10 pons, ncludng shoong ffy percen from hree pon range. However, Moun s offense, whch ncluded shoong over 90 percen from he free hrow lne, was oo much for he Bulldogs. A halfme, he crowd changed her shrs from black o whe, o do somehng specal for he eam s frs playoff game. They hoped would gve he Bulldogs he momenum hey needed. Even hough he Bulldogs had a seven pon advanage a halfme, Moun S. Mary s ouscored Bryan by nearly 13 pons n he second half. The Bulldogs sared o moun a comeback wh less han fve mnues lef n he game, bu was a lle oo lae. Wh some cluch free-hrows as he clock was wndng down, Moun was able o hold off he Bulldogs, and upse Bryan n he NEC quarer fnals. Ths loss s a ough one o swallow for Bulldog naon, bu no one can ake anyhng away from wha Bryan has been able o accomplsh. No only s her surprse urnaround one of he bes ones n school hsory, bu he Bulldogs have esablshed hemselves as an up-and-comng powerhouse n he NEC. The eam was an offensve juggernau all year long, scorng 74 pons per game, and knockng down 48 percen of her shos. The Bulldogs ook prde n lockng down eams all season, only allowng 71 pons per game. No only has he eam mproved sascally, bu hey have brough ogeher an enre Bryan communy. In her frs season of posseason elgbly, hey have swep and surprsed he naon off her fee, and made hemselves no que mpressve defenders. They have ganed regonal and naonal recognon from he spors world as a surprse eam from a small school n he norheas. The Erneso shown above clnchng a mach n 2011 for he Bryan Bulldogs. (Bryan Ahlecs) Hard work pays off on page 9 Dobbs ake he ball o he hoop n hs las game as a Bulldog. (Bryan Ahlecs) eam has brough ogeher sudens, faculy, and alumn o roo for he Black and Gold. The Bulldogs have pu ogeher a eam ha we can be proud o roo for. Bryan s season may have ended sooner han expeced, bu hs s he frs sep n he rgh drecon. I mgh have been our frs posseason appearance, bu ceranly won be he eam s las. Wh leadng scorer Dyam Sarks and forward Alex Francs boh reurnng, hs eam could easly be back n he NEC ournamen nex year. In addon, junor Corey Maynard and sophomore Joe O Shea wll see more acon on he cour nex season. Each of hem averaged 9 pons per game hs year and wll play key roles n he Bulldog s second NEC ournamen run. All he success he eam has had has ganed hem naonal recognon, whch wll play a bg par n recrung also. Ths March has ceranly been madness for he Bulldogs. Despe he ough loss, he sky s he lm for hs eam, and we haven seen he las of Bryan wnnng. Agan, huge congraulaons o Bryan Men s baskeball on a phenomenal season, and we could no be more proud of a eam.

In he frs half, he eam found hemselves n an early hole, only shoong 37 percen from he feld o Rober Morrs 44 percen. AFC Eas looks up o Paros n Free Agency By John Como Asssan Spors Edor The AFC Eas s bound o be one of he mos compeve dvsons of he year; no I m jus jokng.

The Paros wll always be n he posseason regardless of how hey play ousde he dvson hanks o he hree runs of he AFC Eas. Wh ha ou of he way, he AFC Eas mgh acually be a ho spo for free agency hs year. The Paros are hopng o mprove her defensve capables, he Jes have down-graded no a re-buldng sage, he Blls need a new defense, and Dolphns need a few more key peces o be conenders nex year. Wha wll each eam need o do for her long-ermed success? Sarng wh he Alpha-Dog of he group, he New England Paros have domnaed he AFC Eas for he majory of he las decade. Whle makng o he posseason s a no-braner for he eam, wnnng he Super Bowl has been knd of hard for hs eam o grasp despe her regular season performances. The eam hasn won he Lombard Trophy n egh years and has The Colonals were deadly early from long range, shoong 50 percen from beyond he arc n he openng half. However, Bryan was able o say whn srkng dsance. Guard Danelle Douglas made her mpac known early, shoong 5-7 wh a eam-hgh 11 pons n he frs half. Despe Rober Morrs early advanages, headng no he locker room, he Bulldogs only found hemselves ralng by a mere fve pons. Wh her playoff dreams possbly n danger, he eam came ou wh a compleely dfferen mndse, ready o fgh for her season. However, Rober Morrs had nenons of keepng Bryan ou of he ournamen. In jus he openng cks of he second half he Poneers ook a lead. The Bulldogs weren ready o le her season fall hrough her hands hough. The Bulldogs began o bale back, and quckly dug hemselves ou of he hole by gong on a run. The scorng frenzy ncluded a par of cluch hrees from Whngon. Afer each eam exchanged los wo Super Bowls n 2007 and The Paros have no ssues wh her offensve aack; even f hey lose Wes Welker hey sll have Brady, Gronkowsk, Hernandez, and a grea O-Lne o help suppor. Insead, he eam needs o mprove on he defensve sde of he ball. In he even Brady and he offense can score more han weny pons, a Pas defense ha can wn games on her own would creae a vrually unsoppable eam. Las year, he eam mproved her fron seven and hs year should mprove he back four; n parcular by geng a veeran a he safey poson. Acqurng Ed Reed n he free agen marke would desroy he oher AFC Eas eams and make he Pas praccally unbeaable. Despe her grasp on he AFC Eas, he Paros should really focus on her safey. The New York Jes don resemble a grounded plane, bu raher a snkng shp wh s passengers jumpng over he sdes. Afer a horrble 6-10 season, he Jes have a new General Manager who has compleely gven up on he eam and has removed he majory of. Almos every famlar player from las season s gone, and he eam wll need o sar wh a fresh bach of raw alen. The obvous quarerback problems of las season need o be addressed. If Sanchez were Senor guard Kae Whngon led he eam wh 21 pons (MCT Campus) a few scorng possessons, he Colonals scored wo sragh buckes o ake a four pon lead wh jus under hree mnues lef. However, Whngon made one of he bgges plays of he season, sealng he ball and fnshng on a fas-break layup brngng he eam whn jus one score. Guard Brenna Rucker ed he game wh a bucke of her own. Afer he Colonals ook a wo-pon lead wh less han a mnue o go, Whngon came up wh wo cluch free hrows o e he game a 52. Wh double zeroes on he clock, fans were gong o be reaed wh exra baskeball. Wh jus ffeen seconds lef on he clock, and down by o ever sar agan here would be ros n he srees of he Meadowlands; by he way he bu fumble s sll gong srong as ESPN s No Top Ten s Wors of he Wors for he las 14 weeks. Asde from hs, he Jes need jus abou everyhng from free agency; Shawn Green s no he answer for a sarng runnng back. They need new offensve guards, new wde recevers, new lnebackers, and new safees. If he eam rades Revs, whch hey wll, hey wll need new cener backs as well. The eam s smply on he marke for anyhng hey can fnd. The Buffalo Blls poor 2012 season dd show some promse owards a brgher fuure. Lke he Paros wh safey rouble, he Blls are n dre need a one key poson; lnebacker. Las year feaured wha arguably was he wors eam of lnebackers o ever play for a defense. The Blls lnebacker crew, every sngle lnebacker on he enre eam, combned for fve sacks and zero nercepons n he 2012 season. Wha knd of poor excuse for a defensve fron s ha! Las year feaured ndvdual lnebackers from mulple eams had sas ha bea he enre Blls Fron Seven combned! The defense was also horrfc a soppng he run so here s no reason o keep hese guys around. They also need o fnd an answer for quarerback Ryan Fzparck, who s he mos a pon, Whngon drove o he lane and scored on a cluch layup o gve Bryan he lead n overme. In he exra perod, he Bulldogs defense was able o close ou he game wh crcal sops. Douglas nerceped a pass, and followed he opporunsc play wh wo free-hrows. Wh only fve seconds lef n he game, he Bulldogs had a hree pon lead, and he pos season was n sgh. Afer ye anoher defensve sop, Douglas h wo more shos from he lne, and he Bulldogs began o celebrae, as hey defeaed Rober Morrs n nalbng fashon. In one of he bgges games n her hsory, he Bulldogs earned Paros Tom Brady akng a pay cu wll help he eam o sgn free agens (MCT Campus) overpad quarerback n he NFL. Afer fxng he lnebackers ssue, preferably by replacng every name on he ls, hey also need o look for a sold franchse quarerback. Asde from he Pas, he Mam Dolphns are he mos promsng AFC Eas eam for he 2013 season. Whle s unlkely hey wll wn a Super Bowl anyme soon, he eam dd perform admrably well las season. The new Head Coach Joe Phlbn and he sarng quarerback Ryan Tannehll dd prey well n her rooke years; hey led a eam predced o go 3-13 o a relavely good 7-9 record n he 2012 season. In order for Tannehll o succeed he a rp o he NEC ournamen n her frs season of playoff elgbly. Whngon and Douglas each scored over 20 pons. Douglas conrbued n every way possble, as she added four rebounds, four assss, and hree seals. Forward Naana Ankoma-Mensu s domnaon on he board was a key reason for he Bulldogs vcory. Mensu s sensaonal 14 rebounds no only helped hem se he one, bu le Rober Morrs know hey weren gong o be bulled n he pan. Rucker helped n he backcour as well, snaggng 10 rebounds and addng sx pons. The Bulldogs fnshed he game shoong 34 percen from he feld. Alhough he Bulldogs fnshed he regular season under fve hundred (12-17), hey are rdng a wo-game wnnng sreak.

However, Pujols was able o reurn a week ahead of expecaons and accordng o eam sources hs base runnng s he only major aspec of hs game ha sn hundred percen. As for he former Texas Ranger, Josh Hamlon also made hs reurn he Angels lneup for he preseason game agans he Reds.

In he Yankees organzaon, nobody has been safe from he massve njury plague ha seems o be haunng he Yankees hs year. Even he organzaon s kckng ee. Pror o he ryou, Slberman ddn parcpae n any warm-up kcks because of a fear of aggravang a rgh quad njury. Her lack of warmups rased eyebrows for scous, wonderng f she was serous abou her ryou. When was her me, relenlessly, she ook he feld. As quckly as she jogged on he feld, Slberman was soon off he feld. Afer only performng wo kckoffs, she had re-aggravaed her rgh quad, brngng her day o an abrup end. To say ha her day was dsapponng would be an undersaemen.

Many NFL scous and offcals hnk ha she waned o make a mockery of he league, and really had no neres n playng fooball. In her defense, her only experence ha can be conneced o fooball was soccer a he Unversy of Wsconsn.

In addon, Slberman dd pay he 275 dollar regsraon fee o ryou, whch showed her commmen o show wha she could brng o he league. There sll hasn been a female o complee an NFL ryou. Many hope ha her effors, even f hey weren successful, wll encourage more people o show NFL scous wha hey go. However, even hough she was he frs woman o regser and compee n he even, based on her performance, Slberman may be he las for a whle. he should be ready o play a preseason game a any me hs week.

Wheher was akng he yellow bus o and from school or hoppng on he ran o ge o a cy, you ve been on some mode of publc ransporaon. I always sars ou fun. Then you ge used o or begn encounerng people who smell lke Doros, and all begns o spral no he dark abyss. I remember when I frs sared akng he RIPTA (Rhode Island Publc Trans Auhory). I was las year n February when I had o ake a bus from Lncoln all he way down o Provdence where my new school was. I was all exced wh my monhly pass whch I go hrough school. I adm, despe akng nearly an hour o ge o school and an hour back, I really enjoyed. Then agan hs could be because when I lved n Europe, was he bes way o ge anywhere. New hngs also have a knack for beng shny and nrgung. Normally, jus o ge o my school, whch s a mere half hour away, I had o go hrough four ranspors. Frs, I had o be dropped off a he Lncoln Mall. Then I had o ake he 54 o Kennedy Plaza (n downown Provdence). Nex I had o wa for he 1 o ake me down Eddy Sree, and lasly I walked down wo blocks o arrve a my desnaon. I was a b wearyng. Abou half he bus smells lke some form of moldng cheese, and here s so much wang. The buses are usually full, meanng he buses don have ceran roues ofen enough. Ths s due o he bus sysem beng sraned far oo much. Havng a bus ha has o serve an enre sae, even one as small as Rhode Island, nearly mpossble. I s lke pourng bakng soda no vnegar and expecng he mxure no o explode evenually. Publc ranspor barely has enough money o run. I ges beer. Because of recen budge cus, weny percen of RIPTA bus sops wll be elmnaed. They say hs wll provde beer and faser servce. Come on! Ths s no okay. I don ake he bus anymore, bu honesly. One does no smply ake away money from an already falerng servce. No. Bad. I would lke o hnk here s an easy soluon, bu eher way, publc ranspor as s won las. We could condense he RIPTA o jus he cy, bu hen here are oher ransporaon ssues. How wll someone go from, say, Bryan o Provdence? Then ypcally hs s where I would sar ranng on abou how we should be more lke Europe. We should have clusers of where people are raher han spread ou haphazardly across a bunch of land. I really do no lke he publc bus. Every me I ake, I ry o pcure Europe where he sysem s run effcenly. I magne myself comforable, no squshed on a bench beween suspcous humans. I lke o hnk I m on a mn advenure, maybe gong o mee Gandalf, no headng o anoher sop and more wang. All n all, eher he RIPTA needs o serously be looked no by whoever makes he budge, or jus dsspae no he ar. Tacklng he laes superbug hrea Rare superbug CRE klls seven and runs hrough Naonal Insues of Healh Clncal Cener By Sara Cosgrove and Ramanan Laxmnarayan MCT Campus Ths pas summer n Colorado, docors had found a rare superbug had nflraed her hospal afer he bacera was deeced n egh paens. Nearly 2,000 mles away, hs superbug quckly spread hrough he Naonal Insues of Healh Clncal Cener, kllng seven people. The bug, known as carbapenem-ressan Enerobaceraceae, or CRE, adaps quckly, s ressan o he mos poen anbocs, and preys on he mos vulnerable populaons n healh-care facles. Because CRE are ressan o mos avalable anbocs, hey are dffcul o rea, and can resul n deah for up o 50 percen of paens who become nfeced. The Val Sgns repor released Tuesday by he Ceners for Dsease Conrol and Prevenon reveals CRE s ncreasngly fndng her way no nensve-care uns and long-erm healh facles n he Uned Saes. Alhough he numbers of nfecons are lkely sll small, hs loomng publc healh hrea s one ha mus be decsvely addressed. Over he las decade, CDC has racked he spread of hese bugs from a sngle healh-care facly n Norh Carolna n 2001 o healh-care facles n a leas 42 saes. A new sudy publshed n Infecon Conrol and Hospal Epdemology repors a sgnfcan ncrease n CRE bacera found n healh-care sengs lke longerm care facles and nursng homes. Ths rend suggess ha paens are unknowngly ransferrng he bug beween hospals and long-erm-care facles. We have a small wndow of opporuny o conrol hs serous hrea, when s poenally manageable. Daa from CDC sugges ha n he frs half of 2012, only abou 200 hospals and long-erm acuecare hospals have cared for paens wh CRE nfecons, bu he recen upward rend n nfecon raes s cause for concern. To effecvely comba superbugs lke CRE, we need o confron he problem a hand ha has allowed hem o hrve - he overuse of anbocs n healh care. Sudes have shown ha one-hrd of anbocs prescrbed o paens n hospals are unnecessary. The overuse of anbocs breeds drug-ressan nfecons, whch negavely affecs paens, hospals and our enre healh-care sysem. One sudy showed ha smply gvng a paen carbapenem (a srong anboc ha can somemes kll off healhy gu bacera) ncreases he rsk of conracng CRE by a facor of 15. Improvng he use of anbocs n a hospal can acually save he hospal $400,000 or more per year. The enre healh-care sysem benefs when we mprove anboc use and decrease drugressance. Healh-care facles mus ake a proacve approach o mplemen programs ha mprove anboc use. Healh-care professonals should ake every precauon o preven he spread of deadly nfecons, ncludng smple asks lke hand washng. Paens should feel empowered o queson her docors and nurses abou wheher an anboc prescrpon s necessary. There has been much aenon on he rsng coss of healh care. Here, we have an opporuny o nves n a proven approach ha wll provde rapd healh benefs and cos savngs o he Amercan people. Through a coordnaed effor, we can ensure he healh and safey of paens by savng off he spread of anboc-ressan superbugs lke CRE, save healh-care dollars, and mos mporan, save lves.

The Hobb: An Unexpeced Journey was released nne years afer he orgnal seres ended, wh Jackson, as well as several oher members of he cas and crew, reurnng. Unforunaely, he few famlar names and faces were abou he only hngs noable ha reurned o heaers n he realm of Mddle Earh. An Unexpeced Journey akes place decades before The Fellowshp of he Rng, and follows he frs par of Blbo Baggns There and Back Agan sory. The Wzard Gandalf he Grey, accompaned by welve dwarves, nves Blbo o accompany hm and hs companons on her journey o reclam he dwarves homeland, whch s occuped by he seemngly unconquerable dragon Smaug. The frs enry n hs new rlogy begns wh a background sory of he akng of he dwarf kngdom, hen flashes forward o Blbo and Frodo (played by her orgnal porrayers n Fellowshp) on he day of Blbo s brhday pary. Blbo s decson o wre abou hs ale promps a flashback o hs journey. Ths enry of he soon-o-be rlogy spans from Gandalf s arrval n he Shre o shorly afer Blbo mees Gollum and acqures The Rng, wh close calls wh rolls, a vs o Rvendell, and run ns wh orcs and goblns n beween. Wh a 165-mnue runme, I would have hough ha Jackson would have been able o use hs me more effecvely. Ths was undoubedly a good move. The sandou performance by Rchard Armage, who porrayed he leader of he dwarves, Thorn Oaknsheld. The bale of ws beween Gollum and Blbo n he dephs of a cave was ncredbly ense and well done. The move had good (no grea) acon. Ulmaely, all I can say abou hs move s ha s good, and I would recommend, bu here were serous deracons. The Hobb s a dfferen sory from Lord of he Rngs, whch was he reason why Jackson was nally hesan o reurn o Mddle Earh. Despe hs, he flm reled oo heavly on s references o las decade s rlogy, such as he ncluson of Eljah Wood and Ian Holmes as Frodo and older Blbo. We also saw he reurn of Chrsopher Lee as Saruman and Cae Blanche as Galadrel, neher of whch appear n he novel. If Jackson waned o make clear ha hese were dfferen sores, why nclude hese characers? As a fan of he orgnal rlogy, I was happy o see hem agan, bu her presence weakened makng hs Blbo hoss a dozen dwarves n hs hobb hole, so naurally, food s eaen and space s lmed. (MCT Campus) a sand-alone move and he sar of a new franchse. One area of he flm never explored was he characer developmen of he welve dwarves. They were on he screen for he majory of he flm, bu we never go o know each one as an ndvdual. In Fellowshp, everyone n he fellowshp was dsnc and had an ample amoun of developmen. In Unexpeced Journey, even afer wo hours of exposure, I couldn ell you he names of a leas egh of he welve dwarves. In Fellowshp, when Gandalf fell, my hear fell, and sll does everyme I wach he you shall no pass scene. When Boromr passes away afer a hearfel goodbye o Aragorn, we as an audence could feel he loss. In hs move, we ddn feel. Maybe we wll over he nex sx or so hours ha we ge o see of hese dwarves over he nex wo nsallmens n he seres. Anoher regreable msake was he employmen of comc relef. Frankly, ddn work. In he orgnal rlogy, we would ge comc relef from specfc characers (Merry and Pppn, Legolas and Gml). In hs move, was jus nerjeced a he mos obscure momens, a almos any pon, from almos any characer. The orgnal moves were so well made ha I could boh feel hearbreak and laugh a a joke. I couldn do boh n hs move. Fnally, and he mos dsapponng of dsapponmens, was he use of specal effecs. No only were he specal effecs n hs move worse han hose of he orgnal eleven years ago, hey were used more frequenly n hs move. Whereas he orcs and goblns were acors n makeup n he orgnals, hey were producs of specal effecs n hs enry. Ths made he flm look worse vsually, and ook away some of he realsm n an oherwse magcal world. Ths, combned wh poor cnemaography, made he fgh scenes a jumble of fgures swngng swords n he dark. Wh a 165-mnue runme, I would have hough ha Jackson would have been able o use hs me more effecvely. Insead he dragged on he sory, makng me wonder how he ll be able o fll n hese nex wo moves. There beer be a lo more sold, purposeful dalogue and beer, more clear acon scenes. Jackson has proven hmself o be a grea flmmaker, and I have fah he can mprove on hs enry wh he nex wo. Bu draggng ou one novel o abou nne hours of flm conen s a ough ask for any flmmaker, and so far, Jackson s only dong jus above par. Alhough he majory of hs revew has been npckng a he move, I mus emphasze ha s a good move bu jus ha a good move. No grea, no specacular, no lfe changng, jus good. Those of you eager o reurn o Mddle Earh wll be sasfed, bu only jus. There s a reason hs move hasn garnered Oscar buzz or been named a conender for Bes Pcure, and ha s because unlke s predecessors, hs journey o Mddle Earh fals o delver s full poenal.
