A/N: Okay, here's the deal... I started You Belong With Me, and it was originally a Twilight fanfic on my fanfic account. My friends really liked it and said that I should publish it on fiction press as its own story. So I went ahead and did that, but then something in my head just told me: Hey! You're doing it wrong! So I stopped, because I loved Anna, but I didn't love her story; it was so so so predictable and I was bored. So I gave it some thought, and another idea popped into my head. This is a completely new story. Some names are the same, some aren't.
I apologize to those of you who really liked my other story, but if you really want to read it (all five chapters of it) it's on my fanfic account (same username). I hope you like this one, I see it continuing for a while!
"Anna, you're a life saver, I honestly don't know what'd I'd without you," Jackson said, smiling from his seat in front of me. I reached out to hand him my math homework, grinning back at him.
"Oh shush," I blushed at his words. The boy always knew exactly what to say to get my heart thumping. I could feel it now, pounding erratically in my chest as I took in his floppy, honey-blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes. He was gorgeous, so gorgeous it hurt. The familiar ache that accompanied every conversation with Jackson was now making itself known; it went hand in hand with the quasi heart attack he induced.
"It's true, Anna, don't shush me," he grinned, "I'd be lost without you, and that's a fact." He took the paper from my hands and winked before turning back around in his seat. My wildly beating heart skipped a step in its dance routine; one wink and he damn near killed me.
I put my hands up to my face to feel the heated flush that seemed to have taken up permanent residence across my cheeks. I rubbed my temples in the process to clear my thoughts; talking to Jackson tended to leave my mind all foggy. Frankly, it was a small miracle I was still able to form coherent thoughts around him.
Then again, we'd been best friends since the sixth grade, so after six years, I'd had a bit of practice. I even liked to think that I had gotten quite good at it, balancing my crippling adoration with the typical duties of a best friend. At the very least, I must've been doing okay considering he still hadn't noticed my feelings for him.
I looked down at the stack of papers in front of me and began to sort them, needing a distraction from all of the Jackson related thoughts swirling around my mind. I looked over at Luce, hoping to ask her what she got for number seven, a problem that had given me trouble for a good half hour. Instead, I was met with a look I knew all too well. Her face was sporting the common expression of barely veiled disdain she reserved especially for me whenever she caught a snippet of a conversation with Jackson.
I sighed, "Luce, please don't start."
"Anna, why do you continue to do this to yourself?" she asked.
"Do what, Luce? I'm just giving him the answers, I'd do it for you," I pointed out. Why did she always have to give me a hard time? It was bad enough being in love with a guy who didn't even give you a second thought, I didn't need the added burden of judgment from Luce too.
"He's using you Anna, and if you can't see that, then you're delusional," Luce said quietly.
"Using me how? We're best friends, this is what friends do for each other," I persisted, unwilling to lose yet another one of these arguments. "Just drop it, Luce, okay? I'm done talking about it," I said. Don't get me wrong, I loved Luce, and I wasn't really irritated with her, I was just tired of being reminded on a daily basis of how hopeless my situation was.
I focused once more on the papers in front of me, attempting to block out the many mumbled side comments coming from Luce's direction. School was always a great way to keep myself from dwelling on the many thoughts of Jackson that ran through my brain, and I often turned to studying whenever I needed to escape. I'd studied so much over the years that I'd built up quite the GPA by the end of my junior year. According to my dad there was no way Princeton wouldn't take me
"You're a bright kid, Anna," he'd say, "you're really gonna go places." I'd smile and nod with the occasional "Thanks, dad," but deep down my heart wasn't in it. The truth was, I didn't want to go to Princeton, I wasn't even sure I wanted to go to college at all. If I had my way, I'd go to art school, but Princeton was "our dream," and I couldn't be a wildly successfully surgeon if I was off playing finger paints and ceramics.
Not to mention, I didn't have the heart to tell my dad, he'd done so much to make sure I'd have a better future than what we had right now. When I brought home my first report card, full of "A's," he ran out to the bank and set up a college fund for me. The next morning he was circling the paper, looking for a second job. "Anything for my Anna," he'd say, and I'd smile and give him a hug, positive there was no better dad out there.
He did it all alone, too.
My mom walked out on us when I was ten years old; she couldn't stand the thought of only being a mechanic's wife for the rest of her life. It nearly killed my dad, he'd tried so hard to make her happy, and she had just tossed us aside like we were trash.
I still remember the day she packed up her ratty, black suitcase, promising she'd call me when she got to Aunt Emily's. I never got the call, and that was something I was perfectly fine with. I was happy she was gone; if she couldn't see how wonderful my dad was then she didn't deserve to be in his life. I didn't even consider how my life would change; I only cared about him. My dad saw things differently; he felt like a failure, like it was his fault I didn't have a mother anymore.
The first couple of years were pretty rough, hitting puberty with only your dad around isn't the most ideal situation, but I wouldn't change it for the world. He drove to soccer practice and art class; never once did I miss a practice or lesson. He was always there at dinner, ready to talk about my day, he even knew about my feelings for Jackson, that's how comfortable I was with him. I could tell him everything; everything except I didn't want to go to Princeton.
Luce thought I was a coward; she said that my dad would love and support me no matter what I chose to do, and I knew she was right. My dad would never hold the choice of art school against me; the problem was that I would hold it against myself. I didn't want to be the one to tell him all of his hard work had been for nothing; the two jobs, the many summers at med camp, all of it down the drain. Nope, I wouldn't do it. I couldn't do it.
"Hey Anna, are you sure number seven is right?" Jackson's question brought me out of my thoughts. I looked up from my papers to meet his gaze.
"Um, I'm not sure, to be honest," I started, "that one gave me a lot of trouble." Probably because I was thinking about you, again, I thought to myself.
"That's okay, I'll ask Melanie," he said, and with that he got up from his seat and sauntered over to a beautiful blonde in the front row. My heart twisted in my chest, and I felt myself blanch at the thought of…Melanie.
Everyone who had half a brain stem knew that if you wanted help with a math problem you didn't go to Melanie Bridges. Melanie wasn't really an expert on derivatives or polynomials, or even basic addition for that matter. She was more of a, "What color should I paint my nails for prom?" kind of girl, or a "Do you think I should sleep with him on the first date?" expert.
Hence my reaction to Melanie; I knew Jackson's current conversation with her was not at all about Calculus. I watched her twirl her hair around her index finger and giggle as Jackson said something to her. He had his signature crooked grin on his face, you know, the kind of grin that makes any girl within a fifty-foot radius of it stop and sigh. It's the kind of smile you fall in love with, I would know. Been there, done that, I thought to myself.
"No it's okay I'll ask Melanie," Luce mimicked, her voice all pinched with disgust.
"Luce," I warned, quietly.
She ignored me, "Oh hey, Melanie, can I ask what you got for number seven, and while I'm at it, do you mind if I shove my dick down your throat?"
"Jesus, Luce," I whispered sharply, "that was vulgar, even for you." She just smirked at me.
"You and I both know that little exchange," she said, pointing at the two of them, "has nothing to do with math." She looked down at her own homework, "Unless he's keeping track of how many times she's said, 'Oh my God, Jackson.' Counting constitutes math, right?" she asked me, her eyes wide and innocent.
I turned away from her, trying to hide the smirk that was creeping across my face. As much as I hated how much Luce despised Jackson, her side comments did make me laugh. I didn't want her to have the satisfaction of knowing that, so I typically feigned annoyance, something we both knew was total bull.
I heard the classroom door open, and in walked Mrs. McAllister, followed by her usual cloud of hairspray and the sound of fluttering papers. I eyed her as she walked to the front of the room; she had a mile long run in her stockings and two or three pencils sticking out of the messy bun piled on top of her head. Anyone who didn't know Mrs. M. might think she was a total basket case, and sometimes she was. She was also the best teacher I'd ever had.
I'd had her the past two years, first with Pre-Calculus, and now AP Calculus; I was thrilled to discover that I'd have her again at the beginning of the week when we had all first gotten our senior year schedules. Most people were less than happy, some I'd say downright miserable, a category Luce fit into nicely. I guess I couldn't blame them, homework the second day of classes was a bit of a wake up call for some, but for those of us who were "Ivy bound," not so much.
"Okay, people, homework out! You know the drill, pass it to the end of the row, and then up to the front," Mrs. M. called out, plopping her papers on her desk before turning to the board. She picked up the chalk and launched right into the day's lesson: integrals. I looked to Jackson who caught my eye and waved my homework in the air. He made a show of putting it into the pile to be graded, and I smiled my thanks.
"Integrals," Mrs. M. said, "what do we know?" She waited patiently for someone to raise his or her hand. No one did. I sighed and started to lift my own in the air when the door to the room opened with a long squeak. I turned around, hand partially raised to see who it was, and my eyes were met with a mop of unruly dark hair and a brightly colored "Rugrats" t –shirt.
Andrew Davis waltzed into the room and sat himself in the back row. He was the picture of nonchalance, lounging in the seat, nothing on the desk in front of him.
"Mr. Davis, so nice of you to join us," Mrs. M. drawled, a smirk on her face, "please, feel free to get out your homework."
"Oh yeah, that," Andrew said, scratching his head, a goofy grin on his face. "Funny story, I actually don't have it. But," he held up his hands in front of him, building the suspense, "what I do have is a kick-ass-"
"Mr. Davis," Mrs. M. warned.
"Sorry, kick-butt, explanation," he finished with a smile.
Mrs. M. smiled knowingly from the front of the room. She crossed her arms over her chest, chalk still in her hand, "Okay, Mr. Davis, you can tell me about it after school today, in detention."
Andrew kept on grinning. He got up from his seat and bowed deeply, earning a bunch of giggles from around the room. "With pleasure, Mrs. M. You know how I look forward to our weekly after school dates," he replied before sitting back down in his seat. Mrs. M. just laughed and turned back to the board, resuming the lesson.
I furrowed my brow with confusion, and turned back around in my seat. Andrew Davis was a puzzle, if I had ever met one. He took all of the advanced placement and honors courses available to him, and then didn't complete the assignments.
It was a miracle he was even on track to graduate, academics apparently were not his strong suit. What he was quite good at though was providing the class with live entertainment on a daily basis. Everyday he'd walk in with some insane excuse as to why he didn't do the work from the day before, and if he couldn't give his excuse, he'd find another way to extract a round of laughs from the class.
I turned back around to look at him, and he caught my eye. He waggled his eyebrows, causing me to whip my head back around. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment; I never knew how to handle attention from the opposite sex, as if that wasn't painfully obvious already. Luce saw me hiding my face with hair, and fixed me with a stare.
"What's up?" she mouthed, knowing better than to talk in this class. I shook my head to reply nothing and focused my attention back to the board. My eyes flitted to Jackson's blonde head, as if on instinct, and I felt myself start to get lost in thought.
Sometimes I wished I could be more like the Melanie Bridges of the world, content with being vapid so long as they attracted attention from boys like Jackson. It would be easier, that's for sure, to focus on the simplicities of being a girl as opposed to the thoughts of longing that ran through my brain.
The problem was I wasn't that kind of girl now, and I was never going to be. That was something I had to get used to, fast. I didn't have time to worry about boys, and clothes, and make-up, and who was hooking up with whom behind the athletic equipment shed. I was too busy being the brain. I sighed at the thought; good-girl Anna Carlisle, first in her class, and last in the heart of the male population at Woodrow Wilson High.
"Anna!" Mrs. M. snapped. I whipped my head up from behind the auburn curtain I had camouflaged myself with.
"Y-yes?" I stammered.
"Are you with us, dear?" she eyed me with concern; it wasn't typical that I lost my focus in class.
I cleared my throat, "Yes, I'm sorry, what was your question?" My face burned, and I avoided eye contact with Luce and Jackson.
"I asked what the bounds would be in this situation?" Mrs. M. questioned.
I studied the problem on the board before replying with ease: "Zero to four." She nodded that I was correct and turned her attention back to the board. I exhaled with relief. Get it together, Anna.
I paid attention for the rest of the period, taking notes with extreme detail; I wasn't going to slip up twice in one day. Finally, after what felt like forever, the bell rang, and we all jumped from our seats. I gathered up my papers and lingered slightly, hoping to walk out with Jackson.
"Okay everyone, page two fifty-four, problems thirteen through thirty, due tomorrow," Mrs. M.'s voice rang out over the room, and a collective groan responded back. Looked like I wasn't doing anything except homework tonight. This was the fourth assignment I had gotten that day, and it was by no means the smallest.
"Hey Anna, wanna work on the homework together tonight?" Luce asked. I smirked, knowing exactly what her invitation meant: I'd be doing the homework and Luce would be flipping through the channels, most likely settling on some reality TV trash.
"Yay!" She clapped her hands, "It's a date."
"What's a date?" Jackson interrupted. Luce's grin immediately disappeared and she grumbled some unintelligible response.
I smiled brightly at him, "Luce and I are just studying tonight, that's all."
"Oh, can I come?" he asked.
"Yes!" I said, at the same time Luce said, "No!" I glared at her, mouthing: "Be nice!" She stuck out her tongue in reply, always the mature one.
"You might want to be a little nicer to me, Miss Collins," he said to Luce, "after all, I've scored you two an invite to the party of the year this Friday." He grinned at me, waiting for some kind of response. All I could think was, Ugh, a party. Instead of saying that, I planted a fake smile on my face.
"Wow, Jax, thanks!" I tried to keep my tone bright and carefree. This is what normal girls do, Anna, I scolded myself, they go to parties, and flirt with boys, and sip lukewarm beer. I shuddered at the thought.
"Yes, thank you, your highness, for gracing us with an invitation to the most coveted event of the season." Luce mocked. "Might I ask if there will be ale and spirits there," she continued, "or perhaps strippers? Surely there will be strippers, considering how classy all of your parties are?"
She laughed at her own joke, and I hid a giggle behind my palm. Luce was so confident; I'd never have the balls to speak my mind like that. We'd been best friends for twelve years now, you'd think some of it would rub off on me, but no dice.
"Do you mean, like, alcohol?" Jackson asked.
Luce rolled her eyes, "Excuse me, please, my brain cells are insisting I leave before more of them continue to suffer." She rushed into the hall and out of my sights. Jackson turned to me, a disgusted look on his face.
"I don't get why you hang out with her, Anna, she's so…weird," he finished.
"Jax," I started.
"No, no, I get it. Best friends forever and all that bull," he replied. I frowned; it was actually more than that. Luce was the only person I could be completely open and honest with, besides my dad. Even she had him beat in some categories, considering I could tell her about my dreams of being an artist.
I ignored Jackson's comment and dug around in my bag for my agenda book. My hand rummaged around some more, but I couldn't seem to find it.
"Crap," I muttered, "I gotta go back to the room, can you wait for me? I forgot something." I asked him.
"Ugh, Anna," he whined, "Come on, I wanna get a good seat in lunch." AKA "I want to get a seat by Melanie." I rolled my eyes.
"Go ahead, I'll catch up with you later," I said.
"Are you sure?" He asked, and I nodded my head yes. I turned my back and scurried in the direction of Mrs. M.'s room, coming to a halt in front of her door, which was cracked slightly. I heard voices inside; not wanting to barge in on an important conversation I stopped, choosing instead to eavesdrop.
"You know, no one would hold it against you if you chose to hand in your homework with everyone else." I heard Mrs. M. say to someone.
"I know," that someone replied, "but I've got a reputation to uphold, Mrs. M. Can't go giving them the wrong idea about me."
Mrs. M. laughed, "Okay, Andrew, mum's the word."
Andrew? Andrew Davis? I asked myself. Andrew Davis was handing his homework in after class, to uphold his reputation… as what? Most likely class doofus, I answered myself. Hmm. Weird.
I backed away from the door, suddenly not wanting to face the inhabitants of the room. I could get my agenda book tomorrow; I always kept a double copy of my assignments in my notebooks.
I turned on my heel quickly, hoping to avoid Andrew; God forbid, he knew I had been listening, that would be one awkward encounter. Instead, I clutched my books to my chest and walked off to lunch, wondering what it was that I had just heard? Well, I now knew one thing for certain: there was a lot more to Andrew Davis than I had originally thought.

SAN BERNARDINO >> Sheriff’s deputies assisting police in a crime sweep on Thursday night shot and wounded a passenger after the driver of the vehicle allegedly led them on a high-speed chase.
San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies said the 38-year-old passenger was in stable condition at a hospital.
“I haven’t been notified whether he’s been released (from the hospital) or not yet,” sheriff’s Cpl. Randy Naquin said Friday.
The Sheriff’s Department did not identify the man who was shot, but did identify the suspected driver in the chase.
Arthur Herrera, 26, was booked into Central Detention Center in San Bernardino on suspicion of felony evading. He also had numerous arrest warrants, sheriff’s officials said.
Sheriff’s deputies and San Bernardino police were conducting a crime sweep at 7:43 p.m. when they tried to stop a driver for traffic violations near Ninth Street and Waterman Avenue, authorities said.
Deputies say the driver sped away through residential areas before stopping in the 1100 block of Belvan Avenue.
Sheriff’s officials said that while they were taking occupants of the vehicle into custody, one of them began to reach for something in the vehicle.
A sheriff’s detective, suspecting the item was a gun, shot the man. Paramedics took him to a hospital where he reportedly was listed in stable condition.
Herrera’s mother, Traci Herrera, said she ran outside shortly after her son stopped the car in front of her house.
“I heard gunshots and then I saw them dragging my son out of the car,” she said.
Arthur Herrera claims that deputies didn’t turn on their emergency lights until after he turned onto his street, his mother said. After deputies used a loudspeaker three times to order Herrera to stop, he pulled over.
“There was no reason for them to shoot,” she said.
Naquin did not comment on Herrera’s allegations.
“That has to be determined by the investigation,” he said.

Despite efforts to stem the tide of family flight, the population of children in San Francisco continues to ebb.
Families that remain in The City are bucking the trend that has plagued San Francisco for years as the number of children — defined as people up to 17 years old — has dropped from 181,532 in 1960 to 107,524 today, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau figures. The 2000 census counted 112,802 youths.
The decrease is disappointing news for city officials, who have attempted to counter the family-flight trend by creating more affordable housing, improving schools and cutting costs, such as a college savings account for kindergarten enrollees.
“It’s definitely not a hopeful sign that we have 5,000 less kids,” said N’Tanya Lee, the executive director of San Francisco-based advocacy group Coleman Advocates for Children and Youth, which lobbies City Hall on budget and housing issues.
There's no possible explanation. How can it be that the number of children in San Francisco dropped so much since 1960 in spite of the total population remaining stable? How can it be that San Francisco has continued to see a reduction of the number of children over the last decade in spite of city officials creating more affordable housing, improving schools, and offering college savings accounts to kindergarden enrollees?

Last year, I went to 27 Michigan events that were not football, hockey, or men’s basketball. I went to sports I had never watched before, saw comebacks and upsets and NCAA Tournament play. Mostly, I had a blast. When I proposed this column, it was ultimately because I hoped that maybe after reading about a team for a few weeks, someone might decide to go to the game.
You should go to the Michigan game. I don’t care which one. Maybe you like soccer. Maybe your kid plays lacrosse. Maybe it’s $1 night for gymnastics. Maybe it’s a warm day and they’re playing baseball. You should go to the Michigan game, whatever Michigan game that might be.
All this to say I’m introducing a new section. Right at the top of every What Else Is Blue, will be a recommendation for what you should go to if you have time for one thing, the best thing that will be on-campus that week. I don’t make it out to something every week, but that week if you’ve got room in your heart and your schedule (and maybe your wallet, but most non-rev tickets max out at $6 if they’re not just free) for one thing, let me help you pick that thing. Under that will be this week’s tv info, all at once, right up top.
We’re in the busiest part of the non-rev calendar and we have several exciting events to recap and a TON of events to preview. Settle in.
This Week’s One Thing
Volleyball v. Notre Dame, Sun Sep 22, 3p, Crisler Arena
Volleyball hosts the Ann Arbor leg of a true home-and-home with Notre Dame at Crisler, after losing a 3-2 heartbreaker in South Bend on Wednesday. Both teams scored at least 20 in the first four sets and the fifth ended 15-13, so you can be sure you’ll get your money’s worth in what shapes up to be another long match between two competitive squads. Michigan will be looking for revenge, and a big Crisler crowd could provide the boost they need.
TV This Week
Thu Sep 19: Women’s Soccer @ #23 Penn St, 6p, BTN
Sun Sep 22: Volleyball v. Notre Dame, 3p, ESPNU
Tue Sep 24: Men’s Golf, Inverness Invitational, Toledo, OH, Noon, ESPN3
Most other home and conference events are on BTN+.
Upcoming: Fri Sep 20, 2p v. Kentucky (Doubleheader), Sun Sep 22, 12p v. Kentucky
I’m putting this up top as sort of an honorable mention for this week’s one thing to attend: Softball will begin its exhibition season with a trio against Kentucky. Kentucky lost in the Super Regional last year while the Wolverines suffered a disappointing regional exit. Later in the fall they’ll have a home-and-home with the Spartans, but this is your first chance to see how the softball roster might look in the spring. Admission is free. We’ll do a real softball preview in the spring.
#9 Field Hockey (4-2)
Last Week: 3-2 W v. #3 UConn, 3-0 W @ CMU
Upcoming: Sun Sep 22, 1p v. Kent St.
Michigan field hockey picked up a huge victory on Friday night, upsetting #3 UConn at home. Michigan scored two goals in the second quarter, with Fay Keijer scoring her first of the season and Kayla Reed adding the second just before halftime. UConn scored early in the third and it was a 2-1 game for much of the second half, before Sarah Pyrtek hit this no-doubter off the rebound to seal the W:
UConn added a second with just seconds to play, but it was too little too late. Michigan then travelled to Mount Pleasant, where they scored three goals, including Meg Dowthwaite’s team-leading fourth. The Wolverines held CMU to just 3 shots. For their efforts, Michigan was bumped from #11 to #9.
Michigan will host 4-3 Kent State on Sunday. Kent State recently fell to the Spartans 1-0, and will also play Iowa on Saturday, with Ann Arbor serving as a neutral site host.
Women’s Soccer (5-2)
Last Week: 2-1 W @ #13 Washington St
Upcoming: Thu Sep 19, 6p @ #23 Penn St (BTN), Sun Sep 22, 2p @ OSU
Michigan women’s soccer pulled off a huge upset late last Friday night, marching into Pullman and beating the Washington State Cougars. There were two keys to this match: first, Michigan was up 2-0 by the fourth minute. Sarah Stratigakis and Meredith Haakenson continued the positive start to their seasons, scoring about a minute apart. Michigan did not score in the other 86 minutes of this match, and much of the credit for keeping Michigan on top goes to keeper Hillary Beall and her 12 saves. Wazzu finally broke through for one at 70’, but both before and after the goal, Beall made a series of impressive saves:
With the non-con schedule over and sitting on a 5-2 record with a road ranked win, Michigan has a chance to make the NCAA Tournament as an at-large with a good Big Ten performance. The Wolverines open B1G play Thursday at 4-3-1 Penn State, who dropped from #8 to #23 after two losses last week. Two of Penn State’s losses are to current Top 3 teams, and last week’s loss to Virginia propelled the Cavaliers to #1. The Penn State game will be Michigan’s first (non-football) event on the Big Ten Network this year. They’ll stay on the road and head to Columbus, where the Buckeyes are looking to recover from a 2-4-1 non-conference season.
Men’s Soccer (3-2-1)
Last Week: 1-1 T @ Omaha, 2-0 W v. Oakland
Upcoming: Sat Sep 21, 3p, v. #24 Rutgers
Michigan men’s soccer went to Omaha for its first road test of the year against what projected to be an easy opponent. Playing on the road is never easy though, and the home team held the Wolverines scoreless for 75 minutes, and then held them again through 20 minutes of overtime. Derek Broche notched the one tally. Back in friendlier confines Michigan beat in-state opponent Oakland for the second year in a row. Reigning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year Jack Hallahan scored his first goal of the year, and former Grizzly Nebojsa Popovic put one through against his former team. (In a touch of class, he did not celebrate.)
Michigan hosts Rutgers in their Big Ten opener. Rutgers compiled a 5-0-1 record in non-conference play, and climbed into the polls this week despite picking up their first non-win against Penn in a 1-1 tie on Tuesday night. The match will be on BTN+. While the early non-conference season is over, Michigan will actually have three more non-con games scattered throughout the Big Ten season.
Last Week: 3-0 W v. Navy, 3-0 W v. EMU, NOTRE DAME
Upcoming: Sun Sep 22, 3p v. Notre Dame (Crisler Arena), Wed Sep 25, 7p @ Rutgers
Michigan volleyball opened its Crisler Arena series by sweeping two consecutive games, beating both Navy and EMU by 3-0 scores. Navy especially was able to keep it close, scoring over 20 in all three sets, but wasn’t able to make any late runs. Paige Jones led both matches, with 12 kills against Navy, and 15 against EMU. The Wolverines then travelled to Notre Dame, where they lost a hard-fought 3-2 match. Four out of the five sets were within 2 points. With the final set sitting at 13-13, Notre Dame won the next two to take the match. Jones racked up 21 kills in this one, completing her impressive week.
As stated above, Michigan will close its home-and-home with ND Sunday, with ESPNU broadcasting the contest. They’ll then travel to New Jersey to open Big Ten play against Rutgers. Rutgers is 6-3, with the six wins coming consecutively after opening 0-3.
Last Week: 2nd place (of 13) at Glass City Invitational, Toledo, OH
I am very excited to talk to you about women’s golf. The Wolverines had one of their best performances in several years, coming in second at Toledo’s Glass City Invitational at Inverness Club. It was their first second place finish since 2017, and they shot a team -1 on the final day, the best team score of the third round. Ultimately they weren’t able to pass Florida, who won by four strokes, but held off the surging Spartans by five.
The Wolverines compiled some extremely impressive individual performances, with three golfers in the individual top ten. Sophomore Sophia Trombetta came in third at even par, after a 2018-19 season without a top 10 finish by a Wolverine. Freshman Hailey Borja started her career with a bang, tying for fourth at +1, and senior Hannah Ghelfi’s +4 earned her a tie for ninth. This is an incredibly encouraging start for the Wolverines, and it’ll be exciting to see if they can keep up the momentum.
Women’s golf is off this week.
Last Week: 13th place (of 14) at Windon Memorial Classic, Lake Forest, IL
Upcoming: Mon-Tue Sep 23-24, Inverness Invitational, Toledo, OH
The men opened their season with a little less fanfare, finishing 13th at the Windon Memorial. In the first event for new coach Zach Barlow, the Wolverines struggled, finishing 41 strokes behind tournament winner Notre Dame, but holding off Northern Illinois by 11 strokes to avoid last. A bright spot for the Wolverines was senior Brent Ito, whose -1 finish earned him 9th place.
Next week the Wolverines will hope for the same luck the women experienced at Inverness, as they head there for the Inverness Invitational. The final few hours of the final round Tuesday will be on ESPN3, which is free with a cable login.
Last Week: Napa Valley Tennis Classic
Upcoming: Fri-Sun Sep 20-22, Battle of the Bay Invite, San Fran, CA, Ivy Plus, Princeton, NJ
Men’s tennis opened their season by sending four competitors to the Napa Valley Tennis Classic. Leading the crew was Nick Beaty, who went 2-1. No other athlete had a winning record. The big news this week is the release of the first ITA Singles Rankings. 2018-19 Freshman of the Year Andrew Fenty is ranked #30, and Mattias Siimiar is #53. Michigan is favored to have a repeat Freshman of the Year, as Ondrej Styler led the Freshman/Newcomer rankings.
This week Michigan will split up, with some going to the Battle of the Bay in California, and others going to the Ivy Plus in New Jersey. These are both also singles events, but more players should get their first reps in this week.
Upcoming: Fri-Sun Sep 20-22, 10a Fri, 9:30a S-S, Wolverine Invitational, Ann Arbor, MI
The Michigan women have not started their season, but also had a pair feature in the ITA Singles Rankings. Chiara Lommer was pegged at #28, while Giulia Pairone was tabbed at #49.
The Wolverines open their season at home with the Wolverine Invitational. Including Michigan eight schools will participate, including a grudge match between Arizona St and MSU. While it is an individual tournament without team scoring, schools will be paired for their matches, so Michigan will get its first look at Notre Dame and MSU squads they will see during the team season. Competition starts at 10:00 AM on Friday and 9:30 AM on Saturday and Sunday, and as always for tennis admission is free.
Upcoming: Fri-Sat Sep 20-21, Fri 5p, 12p Sat, v. Navy and Miami (OH),
Michigan swimming and diving will open their season with dual meets against Miami (OH) and Navy. On the men’s side both visiting teams will be conference champions, while on the women’s side the same is only true for Navy. This will be a simultaneous dual meet, with Michigan competing with each school individually and the visitors competing with each other. As such, it’ll be contested over two days. Admission is free, as always for swimming.
#17 Men’s Cross Country
Upcoming: Fri Sep 20, 6p, adidas XC Challenge, Cary, NC
After participating in the Michigan Open a few weeks ago, cross country will begin its competitive season at the NC State-hosted adidas XC Challenge. Per the athletic department, this will be a roster of up-and-comers, with many of the Wolverines heavy hitters getting their first starts over the next few weeks. Michigan is the only non-Carolinian school participating.
#4 Women’s Cross Country
Upcoming: Sat Sep 21, 9:45a, John McNichols Invitational, Terre Haute, IN
The Michigan women’s XC team will travel to Indiana State to participate in the John McNichols Invitational, at the same site that will eventually hold this year’s NCAA Championships. Almost 30 teams are attending, including conference mates Illinois, Purdue, and #9 Wisconsin. #3 Washington will be the only team in attendance ranked higher than Michigan. As it features so many ranked teams, the Wolverines are sending a strong lineup, including freshman and Michigan Open winner Ericka VanderLende. The meet will be available on FloTrack.

Friendly little reminder that eating more than usual during the holiday season is actually normal, not a failure, and not a reason to punish yourself with negative words, thoughts, or actions.
I’m frequently asked to help people find an eating disorder dietitian in their area when they’re unable to see me locally in Centerport, Long Island or virtually. Sometimes I have a referral for them, but other times I’m making my best assumptions based on the dietitian’s website or social media presence. I’m sharing some tips for choosing the best eating disorder dietitian in your area.
This holiday can definitely be challenging for those recovering from an eating disorder or chronic dieting since it is so centered around food, so here is your reminder that Thanksgiving is one 24 hour day and one meal and it will not make or break your recovery.
Thanksgiving is just a few days away here in America and several other holidays are coming up in the next month. If we’re being honest, this time of year can be hard for people in recovery from anything, but especially in recovery from an eating disorder or chronic dieting.
Sometimes when you’re stressed, it’s easier just not to eat, but that’s exactly what you need to do when you’re stressed! Eating consistently throughout the day will help keep your blood sugar levels stable, keep your hormones in check, and help stave off “hangry” feelings.
Just dropping this here for whoever needs this reminder as all the November weight loss challenges pop up. Do them if you want, but know that it’s not going to heal your relationship with food and it might make navigating food at the winter holidays even more challenging.

Desiree Teran’s insight:
South Australian company, Praxis Aeronautics is working on solar technology that can extend flying time to nine hours! They plan on debuting their "demonstration drone" at the Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defense Exposition on February 26th. They have also reached out to the US to develop a partnership to supply the solar wings. Praxis developers believe that "having solar cells built as part of the wing rather than affixed to it solved the power to weight and fragility problems associated with previous solar drone designs."

A chartered surveyor, Mark Prisk, has become housing minister in succession to Grant Shapps who has been appointed Conservative Party co-chairman and who will move into the cabinet as a minister without portfolio.
Prisk, 50, has represented the Hertford and Stortford constituency since 2001, and moves to housing from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), where he was minister of state. Among his responsibilities, he was given the job of cutting red tape.
While his new appointment will give hope to those wanting a minister who actually knows something about housing, it is BIS – under the Red Tape Challenge – that is currently considering changing changing the Estate Agents Act to allow new entrants – for example, online agents and supermarkets – to operate in the sector without having to comply with the legislation.
Further developments on the proposed changes to the Act are said to be imminent.
Prisk, who spent two years working as a surveyor for Knight Frank, is married to Lesley Titcomb, who is acting chief operating officer at the Financial Services Authority.
A Cornishman by birth, he was educated at Reading University. He has worked in the property and economic development markets and run his own business consultancy, advising a range of professional firms in the property, construction and environmental markets.
In Parliament, he has presented a Private Member’s Bill to protect Green Belt land. He enjoys watching rugby and cricket, and is vice-chairman of the Parliament choir.
Shapps had been in his post as housing minister since May 2010, making him look positively long-lived in the role compared with his nine predecessors appointed during the Labour administration.
Shapps has been most notable in the estate agency world for his instant move to ditch Home Information Packs. However, his efforts to stem the prolonged housing market downturn have yet to bear fruit, and he has come under fire for some initiatives – notably, the NewBuy 95% taxpayer-backed mortgage scheme and his suggestion that lenders should introduce ‘mates mortgages’ for house-sharers.
The new homes building industry welcomed the appointment of Prisk as housing minister, but said he had an ‘unenviable in-tray’.
Stewart Baseley, executive chairman of the Home Builders Federation, said Prisk needed to take action to address the severe lack of mortgages and development finance, at a time when Britain is building fewer homes than at any time since the 1920s.
Baseley said: “We hope he will offer some radical ideas to transform the current housing and planning systems, and tackle the housing crisis.”
The president of the National Association of Estate Agents, Mark Hayward, said: “The NAEA congratulates Mark Prisk on his appointment to the role of housing minister. His first job is to address the growing challenges faced by consumers, and act swiftly to restore confidence in the UK property market which has reached crisis point.
“Concerns amongst potential buyers about job security, the size of deposits needed, mortgage availability, levels of Stamp Duty and the stability of the market means that levels of home ownership are at their lowest rates for twenty years.
“Whilst the NAEA welcomes initiatives such as the NewBuy mortgage indemnity and FirstBuy schemes, we would like to see more a concrete commitment of support from the Government to kick-start market activity and boost supply and demand levels for new and existing stock.
“We look forward to working with the minister to support him in achieving this aim.”

HSBC hits flathunters with loans clampdown: Bank set to insist on a 15% deposit - or 20% if buying a new-build
HSBC is clamping down on how much it will loan to borrowers buying flats, in the latest blow for first-time buyers.
The bank has been one of the few lenders to continue offering mortgages to borrowers with just a 10 per cent deposit through the coronavirus crisis.
But from next Monday anyone buying a flat will need at least a 15 per cent deposit – or 20 per cent if they are buying a new-build flat.
Clamp down: From next Monday anyone purchasing a flat with an HSBC mortgage will need at least a 15 per cent deposit - or 20 per cent if they are buying a new-build
The move will make it harder for those hoping to cash in on the recent stamp duty cut introduced by Chancellor Rishi Sunak to kick start the property market.
Last week Nationwide introduced rules requiring buyers applying for a 90 per cent mortgage to prove that no more than a quarter of their deposit was gifted to them by their parents.
Lloyds has also temporarily pulled its 100 per cent 'Bank of Mum and Dad' mortgage for borrowers whose parents are willing to tie up their savings for three years.
There are just 48 deals on offer for borrowers with a 10 per cent deposit compared to 758 this time last year, according to Moneyfacts.
Andrew Montlake, of broker Coreco, said: 'As one of the only lenders still offering 90 per cent loans, HSBC has been inundated.
'I suspect the bank is trying to manage demand.'
Sunak's stamp duty holiday means no stamp duty is payable on homes worth up to £500,000 until March next year.
An HSBC spokesman said: 'The recent reduction in the number of providers offering mortgages at higher LTVs has led to more applicants choosing to apply with us and as much as we would love to have as many customers as possible for business reasons we need to restrict the numbers at the higher end of lending.'

Dear people in the world, concerned about Bonsai Kittens,
Animal Freedom receives numerous mails
about the Bonsai Kittens.
At first we were patient in explaining that the
site (made by unknown others) was just a bad joke
or a hoax.
But time after time we got more astonished
about the naivety of people who take this
site too seriously. Years ago a similar
site has begun where people were asked to
send in photos of "cat-scans".
These were pictures of cats placed on copiers.
Of course there are real photos of cats
on a copier, but the purpose of the site
was to offend cat-lovers. These people just
enjoy receiving e-mails and like to react
to protest letters with very offensive hate-mails.
We are convinced that the Bonsai Kitten
site was set up to shock and annoy animal
right activists and that they want to prove
that some activists just believe everything
they read. We are afraid that this is just the case. Some animal right activists are willing
to believe every bit of text suggesting
animal abuse. We want to state explicitly
that this type of reaction is contra productive
in the effort of helping animals that really
need our support. It is contra productive
because the negative attention awakes creative
powers in more sick people who like to shock
So the message is: ignore this Bonsai Kitten
site and stop circulating petitions on this
subject. Please concentrate on a subject that really
matters and truely is animal abuse:
factory farming. In factory farms billions
of animals are molded to the needs of greedy
people. This abuse is urgent, worldwide
and every person can do something against
day, over en over again.

December 2023 | Nippon Steel has announced its expected completion of the acquisition of US Steel by the third quarter of 2024. The definitive agreement, signaling a major strategic move, was made with a USD55 per share bid, reflecting a substantial 40% premium over the US steelmaker’s closing price on December 15. This bold bid values the entirety of US Steel’s operations at USD14.9 billion, including the assumption of its existing debt.
By combining forces, NSC and U.S. Steel seek to fortify a diversified and competitive steel industry in the U.S., benefitting customers through collaborative investment in innovative steel solutions. Under this agreement, U.S. Steel retains its name and headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA, symbolizing a continuation of its esteemed legacy.
NSC emphasized its commitment to honoring all collective bargaining agreements with the United Steelworkers Union, and a dedication to robust stakeholder relations.
Unanimous Board Approval
The transaction received unanimous approval from the boards of directors at both Nippon Steel and US Steel, setting the stage for a crucial investor presentation scheduled for December 19. The agreement puts an end to months of speculation regarding the future ownership of US Steel. Earlier, in August, a USD35 per share bid from Cleveland-Cliffs, among other potential suitors, was rejected, with suggestions that a merger involving Cleveland-Cliffs and US Steel could have triggered regulatory scrutiny.
In October, a letter to Congress and US regulators from the Alliance for Automotive Innovation raised concerns that such a merger could force up the price of steel. It warned that 100% of the metal needed to produce electric vehicle motors, known as e-steel, would be produced by a joint Cleveland-Cliffs/US Steel operation. It would also produce a dominant share of the market for steel used to produce car body panels, it said.
Strategic Growth and Automotive Sector Leverage
Nippon Steel is strategically positioned to leverage US Steel’s presence in the automotive steel sector. With the recent resolution of the United Auto Workers (UAW) strikes targeting the ‘Detroit Three’ in November, suppliers to the US automotive sector are anticipating a robust start to 2024. According to MEPS’s December price analysis, flat steel prices are continuing to rise in both the United States and Canada.
Nippon’s Global Steel Expansion
Currently the world’s fourth-largest steel producer, Nippon Steel produced 44.4 million tonnes in 2022, experiencing a 10% year-on-year decrease.
The acquisition of US Steel is anticipated to propel Nippon’s annual crude steel capacity to 86 million tonnes, advancing the company toward its strategic goal of reaching an annual production capacity of 100 million tonnes.
Green Transition and Carbon Neutrality Commitment
US Steel is set to enhance its EAF-based steel production capacity through the Big River 2 development near Osceola, Arkansas. The USD240 million operation aims to produce three million tonnes of low-emissions steel annually upon completion.
Both Nippon Steel and US Steel share a commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Their strategies include utilizing hydrogen injection technology in blast furnaces, incorporating hydrogen in the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) process, and producing high-grade steel in large Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs).
Benefits from Government Incentives
As contributors to the renewable energy industry, these green initiatives, along with future developments from US Steel, stand to benefit from the US government’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), providing valuable tax credits and other incentives.
NSC President Eiji Hashimoto, said
“We are excited that this transaction brings together two companies with world-leading technologies and manufacturing capabilities, demonstrating our mission to serve customers worldwide, as well as our commitment to building a more environmentally friendly society through the decarbonization of steel. NSC has long admired U. S. Steel with deep respect for its advanced technologies, rich history, and talented workforce and we believe we can jointly take on the challenge of raising our aspirations to even greater heights. The transaction builds on our presence in the United States and we are committed to honoring all of U. S. Steel’s existing union contracts. We look forward to collaborating closely with the U. S. Steel team to bring together the best of our companies and move forward together as the ‘Best Steelmaker with World-Leading Capabilities’.”
President and Chief Executive Officer of U. S. Steel, David B. Burritt said,
“NSC has a proven track record of acquiring, operating, and investing in steel mill facilities globally – and we are confident that, like our strategy, this combination is truly Best for All. This transaction realizes the tremendous value today in our company and is the result of our Board of Directors’ comprehensive and thorough strategic alternatives process. For our U. S. Steel employees, who I continue to be thankful for, the transaction combines like-minded steel companies with an unwavering focus on safety, shared goals, values, and strategies underpinned by rich histories. For customers, U. S. Steel and NSC create a truly global steel company with combined capabilities and innovation capable of meeting our customers’ evolving needs. Today’s announcement also benefits the United States – ensuring a competitive, domestic steel industry, while strengthening our presence globally. Our shared decarbonization focus is expected to enhance and accelerate our ability to provide customers with innovative steel solutions to meet sustainability goals.”

You’ll Never Believe the Brilliant Home Decorating Tips You Can Learn from the White House
There aren’t many homes in America as classically and timelessly decorated as the White House. When a new first family moves in, they typically work with a famous designer to help them put their own spin on the historical home. Read on to learn decorating tips from the White House that you can apply in your own home, and how much money each first family gets to redecorate.
1. Don’t be afraid to go bold
If the White House can be so bold to have a Red Room, so can you. The Red Room, originally designed to be a parlor and music room, has truly stood the test of time. Though the shades of red have slightly changed through the years, the room remains a celebration of the passionate, bold color. “In the early ’80s, First Lady Nancy Reagan enlisted Beverly Hills decorator Ted Graber to help with her update of the private rooms, but she left Mrs. Kennedy’s treatment of the Red Room largely unchanged,” reports Architectural Digest.
Next: Jacqueline Kennedy wasn’t afraid to mix things up in her decorating choices.
2. Mix colors and patterns
Designer Stéphane Boudin filled Jacqueline Kennedy’s dressing room with blue silk. The baby blue color adorned the window drapes, the seating, the walls, and many of the accessories within the room. Though amidst all the soft blue, you could find such striking touches as a leopard-skin throw.
Next: Before you throw out your unwanted furniture, try this …
3. Reupholstering can make a huge difference
Want a whole new feel in your living room? Before you throw out or donate all of your furniture, consider reupholstering your seating. When Nancy Reagan moved into her new office in the White House, she and Graber wanted to create a completely different feel. A fresh coat of paint on the walls (they chose almond-green) and reupholstering old furniture in the White House’s already established collection did the trick.
Next: A decorating tip from the Trumps
4. Respect the architectural qualities of your home (like the Trumps)
When decorating the inside of your home, make certain your designs compliment the architectural components of your house. Though the Trumps are known for their affinity for all things gold and marble, they strive to keep their decorating in line with the historical relevance of the White House.
“Mrs. Trump has a deep appreciation for the historical aspects of the White House and with Tham’s traditional design and expertise, they are focusing on a seamless integration of elegance and comfort,” said Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, senior adviser to the First Lady.
Next: A decorating tip from the Obamas
5. Your art should reflect you
The Obamas are big fans of unique, contemporary art. Though one might find it tricky to incorporate such pieces into the White House, the Obamas managed to do it seamlessly (with the help of designer Michael S. Smith) because the works they incorporated into their home were just so them.
“He managed to introduce an array of abstract and contemporary artworks—particularly in the Obamas’ private rooms—without disrupting the gravitas and historic character of the building,” said Architectural Digest of Smith’s design work.
Next: Don’t forget your roots.
6. Bring a little piece of home with you
According to Five Thirty Eight, the average person in America moves 11.4 times in their lifetime. We move for things like work, climate, family, real estate prices, and love. All are valid reasons, but with each move we get a little further away from where we started. No matter where you end up, don’t forget to bring your roots with you, like the Reagans did. “During the Reagan Administration, the West Sitting Hall was redecorated using furnishings brought from the Reagans’ California residence,” reports AD.
Next: How much money each first family gets to redecorate to their taste.
7. How much it costs to redecorate the White House when a new president moves in
As you can imagine, the amount of money new presidents get to redecorate has gotten larger and larger as the years go on. According to The White House Historical Association, “The $14,000 appropriated to John and Abigail Adams in 1800 remained steady until it was raised to $20,000 in 1833 for Andrew Jackson’s second term; it was raised to $50,000 in 1925 during Calvin Coolidge’s term; and to $100,000 in 1999 during Bill Clinton’s second term.”

Quick and Easy
I got a great exam and new glasses! The workers were nice and the doctor knew what she was doing! I was just walking around Brea mall and thought maybe I should get my eyes checked since it had been over 5 yrs. They took me in right away. The frame selection was great. I got to see all the brand names that you don't find at regular offices. I'm definitely coming here from now on for my eye exams.
We really liked
We really liked the office personnel and the doctor. We were seen very quickly. The doctor is very personable and knowledgeable. Always satisfied from beginning to end.
Great Eye Care
My son had eye allergies and they fit him in at the last minute on a Saturday morning. They gave him medicine and at the follow up visit the following week, it was all cleared up. They were friendly and helpful. I felt that my son received the best care available to him.
I wouldn't go anywhere else
I've been going to Dr Israel for years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. He always takes the time to explain why I need to do the things he wants. He seems to care about my vision and won't suggest things I don't need. Like laser surgery, he said it wouldn't make that much difference to my vision. I trust his knowledge and appreciate the time he spends educating me.
The best eye doctor I have ever been to will take the time to explain & make sure he is very clear & that you understand every step of his exam I dont mind the drive to see him because I know I am getting superior service


Today marks Women in Engineering Day, a global celebration to honour women in the sector, however, according to OEUK female representation offshore is remaining “stubbornly static.”
In a conversation with Energy Voice Alix Thom, workforce engagement and skills manager for the trade body Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) said that the percentage of women working offshore has remained at around has not moved “for years.”
The figure has remained at around 3.4 – 3.6% of the offshore workforce, OEUK said.
Even the women that are offshore “won’t be in engineering roles, or a lot of them won’t be. They might be medics or safety advisors, or in the facility’s management,” Ms Thom explained.
Looking across all engineering roles in the UK, not just in the energy space, the member organisation Engineering UK recently found that 16.5% of the engineering workforce was female.
For context, women make up 47.7% of the country’s overall workforce.
“It’s important to say that the offshore population is only about 15% of the direct workforce and engineering as such will tend to be done more on onshore,” Ms Thom adds.
‘A nut we’ve been trying to crack for a very long time’
In 2021 OEUK, then known as Oil and Gas UK, released a report that found the UK North Sea oil industry is not expected to reach gender parity until the 2050s.
The report indicated that, even with equal recruitment going forward, the number of men and women in the industry won’t reach parity until “well into the 2050s”.
Unfortunately, this is still the case as Ms Thom says: “It’s a nut we’ve been trying to crack for a very long time.”
She continues: “The proportion of women has not moved, the numbers increased slightly when we have more people offshore but as a percentage, it’s remained around 3.4 to 3.6%”
The OEUK workforce engagement and skills manager suggests the reason for the underrepresentation of women in engineering may be down to their lack of representation in STEM fields as a whole.
Female representation in energy
OEUK is working to tackle the stagnation in female representation offshore by engaging with education and producing toolkits.
Alix Thom says: “We still have to work at an earlier and earlier age to help women realise the opportunities that are open.
“We are active in looking for opportunities, we’ve got a couple lined up to speak to careers advisors. If they don’t know the variety of roles that are there, they can’t share them with the young people that they’re advising.”
To support its member organisations that are looking to increase representation, OEUK has produced two toolkits.
“This is for our members to use to make sure they’ve got flexible and transparent routes into their organisation and to progress through it,” the industry body workforce engagement and skills manager explained.
“The number is certainly going up, and in the 12 years that I’ve been at in this organisation, the number of women leaders, for example, has really increased.”
Representation in senior roles is increasing, however, in POWERful Women released its Annual State of the Nation report, the organisation found that 21% of energy companies across the UK have no female representation on their board of directors.
On the topic of Women in Engineering Day, Alix Thom said: “The importance of engineering and particularly women’s role within engineering being recognised, a more diverse team makes for better decision making and more innovation.”
She added: “It is important to recognise how important engineering is in solving the biggest problems society faces, such as climate change.”

Goalkeeper Scott Davies signed a new two-year contract with Tranmere and immediately put his focus on achieving promotion back to the Football League with the Wirral club.
The 29-year-old, who moved to Prenton Park from League One club Fleetwood Town last summer, has extended his stay with Rovers until the end of the 2017-18 season.
Davies said: "I really enjoyed my time here last season and next season, I hope we can go one better and get back in the Football League.
"I'm pleased with what the club want to do next year. It's all about promotion so we have to make sure that is the case."
Davies established himself as a favourite amongst the Tranmere supporters and was noted player of the season by his fellow professionals.
He missed only one game throughout a campaign in which he kept 19 clean sheets, as Tranmere finished sixth in the National League, just missing out on the play-offs.
Manager Gary Brabin said: “I am delighted that Scott has extended his contract with the club by another two years.
“He is a top class goalkeeper who did really well for us last season and he’ll be an important part of the squad going forward.”
Davies said the support fans and of goalkeeper coach Iain Turner, who has signed for another season, were important factors in his decision to commit to Rovers.
He explained: "I won the players' player of the season off the lads which was a big thing, I got on well with the fans and had a good reception from them all season so it went well for me in my first year.
"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Turns (Iain Turner) and working with him again this season will be a good thing. Hopefully he can help kick me on to the next level."

The US Justice Department is accusing two Russian spies of allegedly accessing millions of Yahoo user accounts through spam campaign.
The two “criminal hackers” of Russia’s FSB spy agency have been indicted over a massive cyber-attack affecting 500 million Yahoo users described as one of the largest online attacks in history, carried out in 2014.
Officials of the US Justice Department identified the agents as Dmitry Dokuchaev and Igor Sushchin, both of whom were part of the successor agency to Russia’s KGB.
They also noted that the hack by the two suspects was launched for espionage and financial gain.
The two officers “protected, directed, facilitated and paid criminal hackers to collect information through computer intrusions in the United States and elsewhere”, acting Assistant Attorney-General Mary McCord told reporters.
They hired Alexsey Belan and Karim Baratov, described as “criminal hackers”, to carry out the attacks.
“The defendants targeted Yahoo accounts of Russian and US government officials, including cyber-security, diplomatic and military personnel,” McCord said.
“They also targeted Russian journalists, numerous employees of other providers whose networks the conspirators sought to exploit, and employees of financial services and other commercial entities.”

Feng Shui: How to Place Mirrors?
Feng Shui practitioners believe that mirrors contain the energy of the water element and can draw in beneficial Chi, since in ancient times the original 'mirrors' were lakes or other watery surfaces. Thus mirrors play an important role in reflecting, activating, circulating and deflecting different energies around your house.
Feng Shui mirrors have multiple beneficial effects; when placed by a practitioner, they can help alleviate a number of difficulties. Here are several ways to make the most of mirrors’ use for your home.
1. To double your income put a mirror over the stove so that the burners can be seen in the mirror when you are standing right in front of the stove. In Feng Shui the stove burners represent sources of income, so by adding the mirror you are visually doubling the burners.
2. In Feng Shui the ideal house shape is either square or rectangular. The cut out corners of the house represent the missing areas of the house's guas or parts of your life. If your floor plan is missing a corner, place a mirror on the opposite wall to "create" the missing area.
3. Never hang mirrors in the end of a long hallway since they will mirror reflect the flow of chi back, making it difficult to let that energy to spread out and into the rooms.
4. Always frame your mirrors in wood or metal. Unframed mirrors have sharp edges that create "cutting chi" that is bad for health and almost everything else.
5. Take out mirrors of your bedroom since otherwise they will reflect back your old ideas and feelings while you are asleep, making you feel "stuck" in different areas of your life. At least make sure to rearrange your bedroom furniture so that no mirror is facing the bed head on.
6. Don’t hang mirrors directly across the front door. They will reflect the chi from coming in through that entryway – the most important source of chi for the whole house.
7. To attract more opportunities put a mirror on the right side of the entryway to your house.
8. Keep your mirrors bright and clean to deflect Sha Chi (negative chi) away from the home.
Keep these tips in mind when it comes to your home interior design!

Convention news coverage was lopsided
Both national political party conventions were three days long.
In the Burlington County Times, Democrats got four, daily (July 26, 27, 28 and 29), front-page headlines, with one-inch, high-bold letters; large pictures of U.S. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, former President Bill Clinton, Sen. Tim Kaine, and Vice President Joe Biden; a huge photo of Hillary Clinton, complete with a glowing write-up and negative remarks about Donald Trump.
Republicans got one (July 22) front-page headline with ½-inch high letters (half the size of the Democratic convention headline) and one small picture of Trump; no glowing remarks about Trump at all.
What party does our news media so obviously favor? The Democrats, no doubt.
