RALEIGH, N.C.

Foxboro,MA - In front of a crowd of approximately 50,000 fans in Gillette stadium; the third seeded Syracuse lacrosse team brought home its 9th title in the past 25 years by taking down last years champion, fifth seeded Johns Hopkins. In a battle of perennial lacrosse powerhouses, Syracuse dominated for most of the game even though the score showed a close game at 13-10. The Orange out shot Hopkin

In a recent game against highly-touted St. Paul's of Baltimore, McDonough School (Owing Mills, Md.) goalie Tyler Fiorito showed why he is considered the best high school lacrosse player in the country.With his team clinging to a one-goal lead in the third quarter, a St. Paul's attacker broke free in front of the crease and wound up for what looked like a certain game-tying goal. But Fiorito -- who

The Buick name has always been synonymous with Quality, Safety, and Reliability. The Buick Lacrosse Super is no Different.Under the Hood:The Buick Lacrosse Super sports a 5.3 Liter 300 horsepower 323 Ft Lbs V8 that is the fastest production Buick ever. It does 0-60 in an impressive 5.9 seconds and tops out at 150 miles per hour. It has all the Buick safety features including breakaway motor mounts

General Motors previewed its Beijing auto show "concept" Monday; the Buick Invicta sedan. The Invicta is said to hint at the next-generation LaCrosse, which will be built off the second-generation Epsilon (Chevy Malibu/Pontiac G6/Saturn Aura/Saab 9-3) platform, but really, what showgoers will see Saturday is pretty much the real car. Its styling, says GM interior design chief Dave Lyon, will feature modern interpretations of the Buick portholes (or "ventiports" as they were called in the '50s) and the "sweepspear," the asymmetric v-shaped profile accent found on many of the brand's cars in the '50s and '60s.With the Invicta, Buick designers have taken last year's Riviera concept even further, Lyon says, making "a very aggressive, very chic four-door concept with a low roofline."

A new book about the Duke lacrosse case has made its way on book shelves.Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case (Hardcover) by Stuart Taylor (Author) and KC Johnson (Author), a history professor at the City University of New York's Brooklyn College. Johnson, also runs a blog about the case called Durham-in-WonderlandThe following is from author John Grisham about the book, Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case:Praise for Until Proven Innocent “Brutally honest, unflinching, exhaustively researched, and compulsively readable, Until Proven Innocent excoriates those who led the stampede—the prosecutor, the cops, the media—but it also exposes the cowardice of Duke’s administration and faculty. Until Proven Innocent smothers any lingering doubts that in this country the presumption of innocence is dead, dead, dead.”

From the Scottsboro Boys to Clarence Gideon, some of the most memorable legal narratives have been tales of the wrongly accused. Now “Until Proven Innocent,” a new book about the false allegations of rape against three Duke lacrosse players, can join these galvanizing cautionary tales. We know how the story ended: the attorney general of North Carolina dismissed all charges against the lacrosse

For most sports, discrimination has been always an issue. But in a world were females are starting co-dominate the corporate world with males; it is no doubt that the estrogen-powered women can also take on the toughest of any sport. And lacrosse is not an exception. These days, womens lacrosse is rocked [...]

STX is a manufacturer of high quality gears and equipment for lacrosse. The company began in the 1960’s when the founders, who were also lacrosse players, started designing a lighter and more durable lacrosse stick using synthetic materials. Their experiment led to the STX lacrosse stick, which is widely used in the sports [...]

To be a successful lacrosse player you need to posses animal-like physical traits such as cheetah-like agility, a tiger’s strength, a lion’s endurance, a cat’s flexibility, an eagle’s sharpness of eyes. And this can only be achieved with proper preparation before you enter the league or start this season. For starters, a [...]

The most important gear for a lacrosse player is the lacrosse stick (also called a Crosse).

Lacrosse shafts come in different types and sizes. The standard lacrosse shaft that is normally used measures 30 to 60 inches long. However, they sometimes come in reduced or increased diameters.

Gearing up for a lacrosse game is no easy task, especially when looking for a decent lacrosse helmet.

With its roots traced back in Native Americas, Lacrosse remains to be the official summer sport of Canada.

Goalies play a vital role in a lacrosse team particularly in defense. Team coaches want goalkeepers who have eagle eyes, those that posses assertiveness and alertness that can see slightest movement of air. But not really.

I read all of Carrie K.Hutchens articles, but this one I just had to share. You can post comments under the post on my blog Barbara's Journey Toward Justice Here Comments are moderated. Lives Shattered: When the Truth No Longer Matters By Carrie K. Hutchens The madness that is over-taking this world never fails to amaze me! I continue to wonder just how all this is possible. When did we stop being, as a whole, compassionate people with the ability to comprehend and reason? When did that all happen? Is there a cure for the insanity that is devouring us? Mike Nifong, the district attorney from North Carolina, got caught withholding evidence that PROVED the accused were innocent of the charges against them and caught lying to the court. That is spelled, P-R-O-V-E-D and C-A-U-G-H-T! Yet, there are those who are still talking as though the three Duke lacrosse team members (accused of rape) are guilty and that their money simply bought them out of it. Excuse me?!?!?

The Major League Lacrosse (MLL) database is the newest addition to Stadium Hunt. Founded by Jake Steinfeld (yes, that Jake Steinfeld), Dave Morrow and Tim Robertson in 1999, the league’s first season began in June 2001. The MLL is made up of ten teams divided in to two conferences (Eastern and Western). Notable fields include: Harvard Stadium (Boston Cannons) INVESCO Field (Denver Outlaws) Harbin Field (Washington Bayhawks) The MLL plans to add two more teams in 2008 to two of the following cites: Columbus, Cincinnati, Dallas, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Seattle, and St. Louis. In recent years, lacrosse has rapidly grown so it will be interesting to see how successful the MLL turns out to be. Share This

We love how the guy getting his ass beat is quickly defended by, uh, none of his teammates. Is he related to A.J. Pierzynski? Be sure to hang around long enough to hear the genius in the stands calling for a forfeit. And apparently Ronnie Woo-Woo has a sister who loves lacrosse.I'll say this, those were some awesome body slams for lacrosse players. A couple of those guys must also be on the wrestling team.(The Tip: Parlayer)

“I want to say first of all that I apologize for accusing people wrong that didn’t do it,” the Chi-town MC recently told the Raleigh News & Observer. “I just first want to say that when I heard about the rape of a woman, a Black woman, I got emotional about it. I just felt like, ‘That’s my sister,’ so I felt emotional about it and I guess I did what a lot of people do to other people, to convict them or consider them guilty before we even know the truth.” My guess is the brotha is thinking long term, and also about his paper. Im positive Com wants to come back to Duke to do a show in the future, but is that selling out? Or just keeping it real, I mean he was wrong about the accused and what not… [source XXL]

By now no one in this country hasn’t heard of the strange case of three lacrosse students from Duke University hiring a stirpper for a party and her yelling rape after her job dancing ‘nekid’ (to quote the Reverand Jackson) was done. Now, most intelligent people know that the majority of these women do more than dance ‘nekid’. but that isn’t the subject here.. a woman crying rape is. I wasn’t very surprised that the three were questioned without much evidence other than her ’say-so’. I was surprised that they were arrested, charged and sent to trial based only on that say-so.. and then when the evidence began to come in the prosecutor not only went forward with the case but hid evidence that cleared the boys. Wasn’t it funny that the only sperm they found in her was from several men, but not any of the three accused? And then she had a baby.. never did find out if it was half-white. And now over a year later the charges that

Well, I'm glad it's over too. The basic mistake people made was to use this case to make a larger societal point. Liberals used this to make a point about priveledged white students and conservatives used the case as indicative of anti-white bigotry and liberal blindness. I recognized this error early on and avoided the whole issue until it was resolved. My plea to my fellow Americans: Don't worry about the larger societal implication of everything. Don't root for anybody. Just hope that justice prevails. If they were guilty, they should have been punished. They weren't and they will be let go-justice. Justice also suggests Nifong be punished somehow; and not for incompetence (lot's would be punished wouldn't they?) but for withholding evidence he know would exonnerate the players. It seems very bad for public servants to root for incarceration. Story below: => Read more!

According to CNN all charges have been dropped in the Duke Lacrosse members case.North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said: "We believe that these cases were the result of a tragic rush to accuse and a failure to verify serious allegations." Cooper added there was "no credible evidence" and the three former university lacrosse players were innocent.With that said, I wonder how many of the Civil Rights organizations that tried to hang these young men, will stand up and do the right thing, and apologize? They deserve nothing less. Some of these people that condemned these men were so called ministers. I guess they skipped over the part in the Bible that said "Judge not for ye shall be Judged."

Today was the legitimate end to the embargo on information about Buick's new 2008 LaCrosse. The LaCrosse has received a new nose inspired by the well received Velite convertible concept from the 2004 New York Auto Show. Along with the grille, the hood and fascia are all new, as well, though one can hardly see the difference to those components at first glance. The interior remains largely the same in design, though more items have been made standard like XM satellite radio, a telescoping steering wheel, redundant controls on the steering wheel and dual-zone climate control. The base CX even gets a leather-wrapped steering wheel and driver information center.

The more expensive CXS also keeps the nice 3.6L VVT V6 producing 240 horsepower. Oh, and then there's that LaCr

Yes, yes, this is the only LaCrosse we enthusiasts care about, otherwise there wouldn't be much cause to mention this car's name in daily conversation. Buick has revived the "Super" moniker after a fifty-year absence on the 2008 LaCrosse (and Lucerne, which we'll get to next) to demarcate its most premium and powerful models. As such, the LaCrosse gets a major power boost from the addition of GM's 5.3L small-block V8 that produces 300 horsepower and 323 ft-lbs. of torque. As we'll tell you a little later, that's more power than the Lucerne Super's Northstar V8 can manage, making the LaCrosse Super somewhat of an entry-level luxury rocket with a 0 to 60 time of just 5.7 seconds.[Source: Autoblog]Continued- Article, hi-res image gallery, official press releaseWe also get portholes on the LaCrosse Super, which is a given at this point – four on each flank signifying the eight cylinders pumping on the other side of the sheetmetal.

Dear Duke University Lacrosse Team,I heard about what happened, and I only have one thing to say: you lucky sons of bitches! I'm so jealous! It's one thing to rape someone by yourself, but to do it with a whole gang of your friends...man...I can only imagine how that must feel. We athletes know how important it is to bond with your teammates. What better way than through gang rape? Gang rape. Kind of has a nice ring to it, eh? Man, I envy you guys. You got to do it at home too! I had to go to Colorado. Such a shame. And then it cost me that $4 million diamond, but don't even get me started on that. Hopefully your girlfriends will understand what an amazing and rare opportunity this was for you. My wife knew the deal. Good luck at the trial and I'll see you when we play the Bobcats!Best Regards,Kobe "Only a Single Person Rapist" Bryant*********Ed Note: Obviously we here at JLH Central do not support rape. This was just our feeble attempt to mock those involved, who deserve mockery a

Released: 2/1/2007 Study supports use of protective eyewear for female players in high school, college Rosemont, Ill. - February 1, 2007 - Despite playing a game with less physical contact, female lacrosse players in high school and college sustain a higher rate of injuries to the head, face, and eye than their male counterparts, according to a study published in the February issue of The American Journal of Sports Medicine."Although high school injury rates are lower than those of college, the nature of the injuries, body parts affected, and mechanisms of injury are similar," writes Andrew E. Lincoln, ScD. MS, of the Medstar Research Institute, Hyattsville, Md., and coauthors. "Female players sustained more head, face, and eye (HFE) injuries partly because of a lack of protective equipment. Before 2005, protective eyewear was not required for females at any level of play. Our findings offer support to US Lacrosse's (2005) mandate of protective eyewear for all

The obvious question: who cares? Aside from no one in the first instance and fleet buyers in the second, these two models aren't exactly what you'd call hot sellers. OK, that's a bit harsh (Mikey). But seriously, the fact that the spreading slowdown caused by the eight-week old United Auto Workers' (UAW) strike at American Axle hasn't got GM execs in a lather (including their laid back, globe-hopping CEO) is either a condemnation of the affected products' appeal or management acumen, or both. Anyway, Automotive News [sub]  says the growing shortage of axles in North America "forced General Motors to eliminate a shift today at its auto assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario. GM also said it slowed production of four-speed transmissions in Ypsilanti Township, M
