From LipscombSports.com — Don’t think badly of the Lipscomb Lady Bisons, but they don’t like to share– at least when it is a regular season championship. “We didn’t want to share anything,” said senior middle blocker Alex Kelly. When the Lady Bisons put the finishing touches on a 3-1 match win over the Belmont Bruins Tuesday night at Allen Arena this edition of the “Battle of the Boulevard” meant more than just another win. The victory gave the Lady Bisons a 10-0 conference record, marking the second season they have finished unbeaten in Atlantic Sun games. Last season under the double-round robin format and in the A-Sun Tournament they finished 22-0 in conference matches. It also extended their conference regular season winning streak to 35 games, second only to Hawaii. They are fourth nationally in home wins in a row with 26. “With all the parity in the conference this season it is tremendous for us to go undefeated,” Rosenthal said. “And we did it in style. “The single round-robin is tough. A 22-0 record might sound better than a 10-0 record. But the 10-0 was much more pressure-packed than 22-0. Our girls have done some awesome stuff.” By finishing without a loss it also guaranteed the Lady Bisons sole possession of the regular season championship. With Kennesaw State sitting in second at 8-1 there was a possibility of having to share the title which they had clinched at least a share of last weekend on the road in Florida. “I credit the girls,” Rosenthal said. “To go undefeated in back-to-back years is really hard to do. It is...

As you may have noticed, Lumination Network was down from late Monday evening into Late Tuesday. While we apologize for the outage, we have became aware that the fault did not lie with our staff. After many hours of scrambling, our IT team discovered the problem: The issue was that the address record (A record), a type of Domain Name System (DNS) record which lists our site’s IP address and domain name and connects the domain “luminationnetwork.com” to the server with all of the site information, was deleted yesterday. This caused our site to be inaccessible. As your main outlet for student news, Lumination Network strives to be accurate, timely and engaging. We assure that all the proper steps are being taken in order for this to not happen again. However, in the event that it does happen again, our staff is prepared to handle it.

Students at Lipscomb are recognized for the numerous hours of service they complete each year. But it’s pretty astonishing what some students completed in just an few hours. Freshmen Nathan Owens and Zac Riedford, along with the help of countless friends, surprised a fellow student with something that not only brought tears to his eyes, but to almost every eye at last night’s Wednesday Night We Eat. Take a minute to think about living and going to school more than 7,000 miles away from home. That is what freshman history major Caesar Tang has to deal with everyday. He’s from Hong Kong, and he moved here his sophomore year of high school. Tang has only been home to China a few times since moving to Texas three years ago. With that in mind, Owens and Riedford began to wonder if it would be possible to send Caesar home for Christmas. “It started with about five of us sitting in a room,” said Owens, a biology major. “And we just started thinking it would be really cool to send Caesar home.” During a Tuesday night devotional, started by a group of freshman in 2008, the idea was born. “After devo one night we voiced the idea aloud once Caesar had left,” Owens said. “Our RA, Mark Wilkins, told us that it was a good idea and that we should run with it.” After thinking about it for a few days, Owens, Riedford and few others got together and talked about the options that they had. “Finally about a week later I decided that we needed to do something right then,”...

On a night during which many voters expressed disapproval for the Obama administration and the Democrats, Tennessee became one of many states from around the country to elect a Republican governor. And voters in the Volunteer State didn’t have to wait long to find out all the pre-election prognostications were correct: By 7:28 p.m. the Associated Press declared Bill Haslam the winner. Republican Haslam, mayor of Knoxville, and Democrat Mike McWherter, a Jackson businessman and the son of former Gov. Ned McWherter, sought to succeed outgoing Gov. Phil Bredesen. With nearly half of the precincts having reported, Haslam controlled about 70 percent of the vote. During his victory speech Haslam — who had spent a part of the evening chairing the Knoxville City Council, one of his mayoral duties — expressed excitement about the tasks at hand. “I am looking forward to working with Gov. Bredesen–we are starting as early as (Wednesday),” Haslam said. “It is my duty to make certain that Tennessee continues to move forward. While it’s time to celebrate the victory, we must not forget that we face some major social issues.” It also appears that Tennessee has approved a constitutional guarantee to hunt and fish. Much like what other Southern states have done — South Carolina, Alabama and Arkansas — Tennessee will now have the right to hunt and fish implanted into the state’s constitution. While it does not change the law, it prevents from hunting and fishing from being outlawed without changing the constitution. Several participants from COMMA volunteered at the News Channel 4 studios Tuesday night. The COMMA students (members of the Communication Majors and Minors Association) answered phone calls from all around the state to...
