The following article provides information on how to remove the Homeland Security infection from your Dell PC. Please be aware that most of the steps here are not covered under your warranty and are carried out at your own risk.
The Homeland Security Malware is a PC infection that locks your system until you're ready to pay to get rid of it. This infection pretends to be an alert from the US Department of Homeland Security National Cyber Security Division. It advises that you've transgressed one of several scenarios, such as distributing copyrighted media, child pornography or using pirated software. The malware demands you pay a fine of $300 in order to avoid criminal prosecution. They want paid by a MoneyPak voucher and demand payment within 48 hours to let you back on your PC. It is important to remember that this is NOT a fine by a legitimate government agency.
The surest way to resolve this issue is to either perform a factory restore or a clean Operating system install on your system. Taking you through this reinstall is what is covered under your pro support warranty. You can also find articles taking you through this for your particular operating system and situation on the link pages below.
(Fig.1 Ransom Screen)
This infection usually comes from visiting web sites that have been hacked and contain exploit kits. These kits look for vulnerable spots on your PC. It doesn't need your permission to install on your PC. Once it installs, it automatically starts whenever you login to your system. You'll get an online alert message which will look something like:
Ignore anything it displays, as this malware was created with the sole purpose of getting your money.
Because the Ransomware locks your desktop, you will need to create a bootable USB drive that contains the removal software. In this case I'm using HitmanPro.Kickstart program as it's the program I'm most familiar with. You can find another program that does the same job as HitmanPro and use that program instead, However the steps below will be for HitmanPro. Please download the cleaner program to your desktop. We will boot your PC using a bootable USB drive and clean the infection from outside the operating System (OS).
You can download HitmanPro from the following link and save it to the desktop of a working PC.
When you go to the download page, please select the correct type for your Version of Windows. (32 Vs 64) you will be using it to create the Kickstart USB drive. Once HitmanPro has been downloaded, please insert the USB key.
Double-click on the file named HitmanPro.exe (32 bit) or HitmanPro_x64.exe (64 bit).
(Fig.2.1 Hitman Download Screen)
Click on the icon of the person performing a kick at the bottom of the screen to open an information screen on how to create the kickstart USB drive.
(Fig.2.2 Hitman Install Screen)
It should list any USB drives currently attached to your PC. Choose the USB drive that you want to use and click the Install Kickstart button.
An alert states the USB drive will be erased. Click on the Yes button to proceed. The program will download the needed files and install them to the USB Drive. When its complete, click on the Close button to shut the program down.
Remove the Kickstart USB drive and plug it into the infected computer. Turn the infected PC on and tap rapidly on the F12 key to bring up the boot once menu.
(Fig.2.3 Dell Splash Screen)
Select the USB option from the menu. Your PC will automatically load the HitmanPro.Kickstart program from the USB drive. A screen pops up asking you to make a selection from a menu.
(Fig.2.4 Boot Once Menu)
Please press the 1 key on your keyboard and it should begin to load Windows. Please login as normal when Windows starts up. The ransomware will load, but after about 30 seconds the removal application will appear on top of the screen.
(Fig.2.5 Hitman Application)
Click the Next button to start the cleaning process. The HitmanPro setup screen pops up, please ensure that it's set to to the option No, I only want to perform a one-time scan to check this computer.
(Fig.2.6 Hitman Setup)
Click on the Next button to proceed. The cleaner scans your PC for infections. It will display a list of everything it's found when it's finished.
(Fig.2.7 Hitman Report Screen)
Click the Next button to remove the detected infections. A Removal Results screen shows the results when it's done. Click the Next button again to bring up the last screen and click on the Reboot button.
Once your PC restarts you should be back on your desktop as normal.
Your computer should now be free of the Homeland Security infection. If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through, you may want to consider purchasing the licensed version of HitmanPro or another similar program in order to protect against these types of threats in the future.
If you are still having problems with your PC once this guide has been completed, then you are left with two options. The first one is to use the reinstall guides at the start of the article to wipe your PC and start again. The other is to join one of the many forums such as BleepingComputers, Tech Guys or Tech Forum and put a request out for help. (Try and include as much information as possible in the request. Such as OS type and version, what's already been done and any logs or errors seen.)
refers to the Application Data folder for the All Users profile. By default, this is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data for Windows 2000/XP and C:\ProgramData\ in Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
To minimise the risk of a repeat infection, make sure that you have a real-time antivirus program running on your PC and see that it stays updated. If you don't want to spend money on a paid service, then you can install one of the free programs that are available.
In addition to installing traditional antivirus software, you might consider consider reading the guide below for some basic rules for safe surfing online.
Always double check any online accounts such as online banking, webmail, email, and social networking sites. Look for suspicious activity and change your passwords, you can't tell what info the malware might have passed on.
If you have an automatic backup for your files you will want to run virus scans on the backups to confirm that it didn't backup the infection as well. If virus scans aren't possible such as online backups, you will probably want to delete your old backups and save new versions.
Keep your software current. Make sure that you update then frequently. If you receive any messages about this and aren't sure of their validity, then always contact the company in questions support to clarify it.

NBC Cancels 'Community' & 'Revolution,' Renews 'Hannibal' & 'About a Boy'
NBC has officially renewed Hannibal and About a Boy, Deadline reports.
However, the network did also deliver some sad news. Revolution, the JJ Abrams/Eric Kripke drama, will unfortunately not be getting a third season. Community will also not be returning after five seasons on the air. Community is a fan favorite show, and will certainly cause some blowback. Jamie Chung's Believe also did not make the cut.
About a Boy has been averaging a 2.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 8.3 million viewers, so it was no surprise that the show got a second season.
Hannibal has been doing okay in the ratings, and will premiere its third season next year.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of all the pickups and renewals??

A 'Hysteria' Epidemic, And A Notably Electric Cure
Hysteria, a disappointingly limp ode to the invention of the vibrator, plays like a Merchant Ivory Production of Portnoy's Complaint. Watching it, you'd never know that this revolutionary discovery, by allowing women to pleasure themselves, hammered a crucial nail into the coffin of 19th-century patriarchy. A boon to bluestockings and unsatisfied wives alike, the device rocked sexual politics, even if its full repercussions were not immediately understood.
Director Tanya Wexler couldn't care less. Her focus is on the delicate funny bones of art house audiences, and to that end, her film has been buffed and tweaked into a coy, heavily costumed farce. At its center is the plush waiting room of acclaimed physician Robert Dalrymple (Jonathan Pryce, bored to death), in which a steady stream of affluent, agitated ladies await treatment for a nonexistent condition known as "hysteria." Blamed vaguely on an "overactive uterus," the diagnosis, which clung to the medical books until 1952, offered a convenient escape hatch for sexually incompetent husbands.
The good doctor, however, has discovered a treatment guaranteed to encourage regular weekly appointments. Coating his fingers in a variety of essential oils, he manipulates his grateful patients' neglected anatomies until they reward him with a "paroxysm" and depart flushed, breathless and with tiny hats askew.
But all this therapeutic diddling is taking its toll on the old man's digits: On the verge of carpal tunnel syndrome, he enlists the help of young Dr. Granville (Hugh Dancy), a modern-minded physician looking for a change from the leeches and filth of London hospitals.
Sponsored By
Sugaring the deal are Dalrymple's two daughters, one dutiful (Felicity Jones) and one rebellious (Maggie Gyllenhaal); the latter, a budding suffragette, busies herself with a home for unfortunate women and their raggedy kids. What either woman would want with Granville, an effete twerp, is unclear, but soon they're pushing themselves at him while he pushes business through the roof. And when his fingers, too, are no longer able to perform, enter Edmund St. John Smythe (Rupert Everett, looking as though he's in witness protection), Granville's benefactor and — fancy that! — an inventor.
With the help of a prototype and a willing prostitute — because what could be a more sensitive testing-ground than the working parts of a London streetwalker? — the electrically powered climax is born. Meanwhile the plot (by Stephen and Jonah Lisa Dyer) continues on its torn-between-two-lovers trajectory, as though orgasm is far less important than Granville's eunuch-like courting.
Politics aside, the real problem with Hysteria is that it's not the tiniest bit sexy. Hints of personal deviance are dropped by Edmund, and pretty young men slip out his back door, but we never see him handle anything more controversial than a feather duster.
Sponsored By
Even in the doctor's office, it's all plump matrons and premenopausal jokiness: In one scene, a fleshy supplicant announces her climax with an operatic aria, like Madeline Kahn in Young Frankenstein warbling "Sweet Mystery of Life" during her seeing-to by that film's impressively endowed monster.
And as we watch Granville at work, his patient draped in a modesty tent and his eyes gazing respectfully skyward, we wonder how he can achieve his goal sight unseen. Sad to say, I think the director took a similar approach to making the movie. Copyright 2012 National Public Radio. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

Wacoon Jump! - Super Land Platformer Review
- Publisher: Yannick Berthier
- Genre: Adventure
- Released: 17 Apr, 2012
- Size: 49.2 MB
- Price: $0.99
- From the slow build of the level music to the fun, cartoony sound effects, the sound design is excellent.
- Backflips, butt-stomps, different hats; it's a cuter version of Mario.
- Controls are a little fiddly and unresponsive.
A cute platformer with a lot of personality. It borrows heavily from the Mario playbook, but in the right way, only being let down by some control issues.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
The heyday of the platformer was the 16-bit era of the early 90s. At this time many games tried to emulate the success of those on top of the genre, but few really came close to understanding what made the Marios and Sonics work so well. Lately on the iPhone we've seen a small resurgence of the 2d platformer, and Wawa Land is the latest entry. What we have here is a game that has a lot of great ideas wrapped in good presentation. Why are these good ideas you ask? Well because most of them were lifted from Super Mario himself.
Wawa is a cute little bat-raccoon-thing, we're not really sure. What we do know is he's on a quest to rescue the kidnapped royal jelly and he has many tools in his arsenal to help him do so. Like all good platformers, stomping is his greatest asset. Jumping on enemies will incapacitate them, and pressing down in mid-air will unleash the dreaded butt-stomp. Wawa can wall jump to reach new heights, and holding down while pressing jump will unleash a very Mario-esque backflip.
There's also hats. For instance the tornado helmet allows you to unleash the dreaded tornado attack, and other hats grant bonuses such as the ability to throw bombs. All of this is handled by on screen buttons and a d-pad, and here's where everything falters a bit. Platformers need solid, responsive controls, especially platformers with as much effort put into them as this. The controls aren't bad, but you will find yourself not pressing the right buttons at times, and maybe that spin or jump didn't work when you needed it to. It won't impede your progress at all, but it makes the journey a bumpy one instead of the smooth ride you'd be expecting.
And everything else is excellent. The music and sound design is a highlight, with the level and character design being vibrant and full of secrets. Wawa land feels like it would be right at home during the 16-bit days and it would do quite well for itself. Unfortunately, it lacks the solid control available from that era, and that hurts this otherwise recommended game.

Have you seen our Petit Jean room? This beautiful room is decorated in navy blue, gold, white and a nautical theme is present throughout. The room is named after Arkansas' State Park- Mount Petit Jean, and it's namesake. Check out the romantic maritime accessories in one of our guests favorite rooms!
Do you know the legend of Petit Jean that inspires this Arkansas/French connection? According to legend, Petit Jean was actually a young 18th century French woman. When she discovered that her fiance had been ordered to Captain one of three ships dispatched to explore the newly acquired French possesion in the new world we now recognize as the Louisiana Territory, she cut her hair, disguised herself, and secured a position as the cabin boy. She survived the voyage. Their two year expedition up the Mississippi and the Arkansas Rivers began their exploration. They reached the lone escarpment jutting out over the Arkansas River just as winter approached. Finding friendly indians who had never seen a white man, they chose to winter there. Near the end of a brutal winter, the young woman fell ill with fever. On her deathbed, she revealed herself to her fiance as his beloved. She is buried on the mountain overlooking the scenic Arkansas River Valley to the East, not under her own name, but under the name she had been known by on the ship, "Petit Jean"– little John. Below is a picture of "Petit Jean's" grave……a cairn found atop Petit Jean Mountain. In the early evening breeze, some say they can hear "Petit Jean" calling to her lover. It bespeaks the strength and courage required to leave home and family to follow her destiny and garnered her a revered spot in the "legend" of our guestrooms, one of the favorites.

Boiler issues give Triton day off
BOURBON - The fall chill made it's way into Triton High School on Monday morning forcing school officials to postpone classes for the day.
"There was no heat at the high school and room temperatures were around 55 degrees," said Triton Superintendent Donna Burroughs. "I don't think that would have made for a very good learning environment so we decided to cancel classes for the day."
The problem is related to the construction projects at the school. As part of that construction the school is replacing all of the boilers at the high school that provide heating in the winter time. Crews were caught off guard by the sudden chill in the weather.
"Those boilers are probably 40 years old so they are being replaced," said Burroughs. "It was a case of typical problems you have with any construction project. Workers had to order parts to get them back on line, the parts were supposed to be here Friday, the parts didn't come in. That's what caused the problem."
Burroughs hopes that it will be back to business as usual on Tuesday.
"They've (the construction company) told me that they have everybody working on it," she said. "Even if it takes working around the clock. We don't want to have days that we have to make up later."

At 471 pages - based on 100,000 documents and more than 130 interviews - the highly critical Justice Department Office of the Inspector General report on the "Fast and Furious" scandal is thorough.
But that doesn't mean the issue is finished on Capitol Hill.
House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is vowing to continue pursuing Attorney General Eric Holder's contempt of Congress citation in court and said the report is all the more reason to continue his own probe with new zeal.
Issa will "absolutely" continue pursuing the civil lawsuit attempting to compel Holder to hand over more documents about the gun-running investigation, spokesman Frederick Hill said.
Hill said the findings of the IG report and some of its loose ends "only enhances the importance of the House moving forward in its civil action against President [Barack Obama's] flawed claim of executive privilege."
The same categories of documents being sought in the suit, which were at the heart of the contempt citation, were reviewed by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Obama did not assert executive privilege to prevent him from obtaining the documents.
The report by Horowitz ripped the Fast and Furious operation as "seriously flawed" and said agents for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives did not consider public safety as they allowed about 2,000 firearms, many of them high-powered assault rifles, to make their way to Mexican drug cartels as part of the operation.
In a major black eye for the Obama administration, the IG found that senior DOJ officials ignored key warning signs that should have alerted them that such dangerous tactics were being used.
In Fast and Furious, ATF agents allowed firearms to "walk," which meant ending surveillance on weapons suspected to be en route to Mexican drug cartels.
The tactic, which was intended to allow agents to track criminal networks by finding the guns at crime scenes, has been roundly condemned after two guns that were part of the operation were found at Border Patrol agent Brian Terry's murder scene.
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein, one of 14 officials referred for administrative discipline by Horowitz, resigned in the wake of the report, and discipline proceedings were launched against other unnamed officials.
The report said Weinstein was the most senior official who had information that should have raised red flags about Fast and Furious, including similarly flawed tactics used on a smaller scale in a previous operation, called "Wide Receiver," begun during George W. Bush's administration. When Weinstein learned of the improper tactics in Wide Receiver, rather than admonish the ATF, he focused "instead on how to avoid negative press," the report said.
Kenneth Melson, the acting ATF director during the operation, also resigned. He had been reassigned to another position.
The report largely spared Holder from personal blame, saying he did not authorize the tactics used and did not know about allegations that guns had "walked" until after the DOJ broadly denied that tactic was used in a February letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
"I hope today's report acts as a reminder of the dangers of adopting as fact unsubstantiated conclusions before an investigation of the circumstances is completed," Holder said in a statement.
But the report strongly criticized other senior officials, including Lanny Breuer, head of the department's criminal division.
Breuer, the report said, should have alerted Holder or his second-in-
command when he learned guns had walked in Wide Receiver.
Regarding the Feb. 4 letter to Grassley that denied guns had "walked" in Fast and Furious, the report said several senior officials claimed to the letter's drafters that such tactics had not been used, even though they had been presented with information that should have caused concern.
In particular, William Hoover, the former second-ranking ATF official, and former U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke both adamantly denied to DOJ colleagues that guns had walked when both had considerable knowledge about the operation, the report said.
Evidence "strongly suggests" that Burke provided information he knew was false to colleagues, which the report said was "irresponsible."
The report was even more critical of a letter sent on May 2, 2011, that reiterated the broad denial even as more information about the operation became public and was learned internally at the DOJ.
By then, senior officials "knew or should have known" that the broad denial was false," the report said.
The DOJ ultimately rescinded the February letter 11 months after it was sent, conceding it contained inaccurate information.
For their part, Congressional Democrats seized on findings in the report showing that some of the more flamboyant allegations made in relation to Fast and Furious were not true.
"The IG's comprehensive report debunks many of the extreme allegations made by Republicans and confirms many of the conclusions reached in a report I issued nearly a year ago," said Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), ranking member of the Oversight panel.

Little life =?
Little choice =? It refers to "they only can choose My Life"? I am confused by this.
The interview, after a taped session with Oprah Winfrey that will air today, came as the 42nd president is re-emerging on the American scene - if he ever really went away.
Listeners, viewers and readers will have little choice in the weeks to come but to become aware of Clinton's sprawling, 957-page book. He said he hopes the memoir is "a history of America in the last half of the 20th century as seen through my little life."
'Little life'-- an overly modest description by the former President of the United States.
'Little choice'-- means that there is so much publicity and media coverage of Clinton's book that listeners, viewers and readers will necessarily become aware of the book's existence and general contents, whether they wish to or not.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sophomores Will Tahsman and Mitchell Kates were recently named to the Men's Basketball All-America team by the Jewish Sports Review. Kates and Tashman, who each garnered All-Conference accolades in their second season in Cambridge, were selected to the All-America squad for Divisions II, III and NAIA institutions.
Tashman, who a First Team New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) and Third Team All-Region honoree, led the Cardinal and Gray and the NEWMAC in rebounding (8.9 RPG) and raised his scoring average by over five points per game from his rookie campaign (14.1 PPG). The sophomore was also named the tournament Most Outstanding Player after helping the Engineers capture their second conference championship in three years.
Kates was Tech's top scorer at 15.6 points per game while helping to facilitate league's highest scoring offense from his point guard position. A Second Team All-Conference pick, Kates was the top assist man for MIT and averaged over two steals per contest as well.
Tashman and Kates were joined on the All-America team by Jon Greenberg of the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Andrew Stein from New York University and Jess Winter from Cortland State University.

STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) - Alex Harris scored a game-high 17 points to lead UC Santa Barbara to a 60-53 victory over Pacific on Wednesday night.
Harris scored twice on driving layups to give Santa Barbara its biggest lead at 19 points early in the second half and the Gauchos cruised to the finish. Santa Barbara's lead never fell below 13 points again until the game's final minute.
Santa Barbara (20-6, 9-4 Big West) forced 18 turnovers and limited Pacific (17-9, 8-5) to 42 percent shooting from the field to hold the Tigers to their lowest scoring total of the season. The Gauchos avenged a 71-58 home defeat to Pacific last month - Santa Barbara's worst league loss of the season.
James Powell scored 13 points for Santa Barbara, which moved into sole possession of third place in the Big West.
Chad Troyer scored 13 points and Anthony Brown had 13 points and eight rebounds for Pacific, which lost its third consecutive game. Bryan LeDuc had a game-high 10 rebounds off the bench for the Tigers, who made just 9 of 19 free throws.
The lead changed hands six times in the game's first eight minutes before Santa Barbara took command with a 13-0 run midway through the first half.
The Gauchos forced 10 turnovers and limited Pacific to 30 percent shooting from the field in the first half on their way to a 30-17 halftime advantage.
Pacific was just 7 of 23 from the field and 2 of 7 from the free throw line during the first half.
Santa Barbara then began the second half with an 8-2 spurt to turn the game into a rout.

All About Sara and Ibrahim
We are told someone has stolen the thunder from Saif Ali Khan in Yash Raj's Tashan, and it's not another actor in the cast. Apparently, it's none other than his eight-year-old son Ebrahim, who makes his acting debut in the film!
Says a source, "Ebrahim recently shot for the film and he's a real rockstar. Everyone on the set loves him. He plays Saif's son in the film."
Accompanying him to the shoot was none other than mommy Amrita Singh. "She's a doting mother and wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. In fact, she was present through the entire shoot and cheered and clapped for Ebrahim every time he gave a shot," adds the source.
Talking about his acting debut, the source says, "Ebrahim looks really cool. He has Amrita's spunk and Saif's looks and is really good in front of the camera. In fact, he loves the attention. Saif keeps joking that his son might steal the limelight from him."
When asked about Ebrahim's acting debut, Amrita says, "It's true. Ebrahim has done a role in Tashan. I was happy when they asked him to do it, and I'm looking forward to seeing him on the big screen."
Apparently, Ebrahim was thrilled to have his mom and dad with him during the shoot. "Saif and Amrita sat in the van with him and made sure he was comfortable. He was happy that he got to spend time with both his parents together," says the source.
Even though Ebrahim's character is under wraps, we're told he plays a really naughty child. "His role isn't too long, but it's important to the story. Also, his scenes with Saif are awesome. Ebrahim is definitely someone to watch out for in Tashan!"
Et tu ibrahim?
Saif Ali Khan and mobile phones have this off-on relationship. In fact, Saif's lost count of the combined number of instruments he and his wife have lost. As if matters were not bad enough, his beta Ibrahim joined the bandwagon when he playfully flung an expensive cellphone neat out of a window and watched it crash. When his parents asked him, the lil one owned up to his prank and asked innocently, "Oh, was that your phone?" Indulgent father that he is, Saif couldn't say much to sonny boy. But he's off hunting for a new phone all over again.
Khan Jr's 'Dost' saga
A few days ago, Saif Ali Khan came to meet his kids Ibrahim and Sara at former wife Amrita Singh's home.
But on this particular occasion, the doting dad was disappointed to find his son glued to the television, watching the Star One show Ghost Bana Dost. Ibrahim simply refused to be drawn away from the telly and spend time with his dad.
So amused was Saif by this incident, that he actually called up the production house requesting a CD of the show that his kids find so interesting!
Incidentally, the show is being produced by Milind
Soman's production house, Face Off Entertainment. Now Soman knows that there he's got at least one fan of the show in Khan Junior!

It's a kiddie funday
By: A hitList Correspondent
Amrita Singh believes in getting the kids started on the good deeds early on in life. And so, daughter Sara was handling a stall putting up handmade jewellery for sale in support of the Smile Foundation kids at a Fun Fair event at The Club, Andheri on Saturday evening.
Her son, Ibrahim, however, looked like a fish out of water.
Meanwhile, separated couple, Suchitra Krishnamoorthy and Shekhar Kapur were seen making small talk while not entertaining daughter Kaveri. Ek bachcha party after another this week. More the merrier, we say.

Saif's gift for son Ibrahim
9 Mar 2008
Wednesday was another hectic day for Saif Ali Khan. But amidst running from dubbing sessions to attending promotional events for Race, Saif managed to do something very special for son Ibrahim.
It happened to be Ibrahim's birthday on Wednesday and Saif sneaked out of the promotional event and went straight to Ibrahim's school, much to the surprise of his son and his friends. Saif then went to Kumar Taurani office with Ibrahim, where another promotional event was being held.
But before the event a special cake ordered by Taurani, made it's way to the event. Ibrahim cut the cake and was seen hanging out at the event till Saif finished his work. Saif then cancelled all his work and went straight home with Ibrahim, while daughter Sarah joined them later

Thunderstorms, Rip Currents A Threat To New Jersey Weather
After a storm-free Saturday thunderstorms have returned to New Jersey along with a high risk of rip currents at the beach as strong storm moves from south-to-north across the state.
A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Camden, Burlington & Gloucester counties as they get the heaviest worst of the storms so far as a cell with winds of 60 mph and indication of some cloud rotation is moving northeast towards Ocean & Monmouth counties.
Evesham and Medford had received 3 inches of rain by mid-afternoon from the storm.
A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for Mercer, Camden, Gloucester, Burlington and Salem counties in anticipation of storms that could bring rain falling at a rate of 2 inches an hour through Monday night flooding roads, small rivers and streams and areas of poor drainage. The Watch was expanded on Sunday afternoon to include Mercer, Hunterdon, Sussex, Morris, Middlesex, Warren and Somerset counties.
The storms, could also have frequent lightning strikes, are expected to be a threat through at least Thursday, the Fourth of July, as humid, moist air continues to flow towards New Jersey.
There is also a high risk of rip currents today creating a rough surf and life threatening danger for swimmers who caught in the water that draws back quickly from the beach.
Rip currents occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as.jetties and piers. Swimmers today are advised to heed the advice of lifeguards and the beach patrol. pay attention to flags and posted signs.
If caught in a rip current, remember the following:
- Remain calm to conserve energy and think clearly.
- Never fight against the current.
- Swim out of the current in a direction following the shoreline. When out of the current, swim at an angle-away from the current-toward shore.
- If you are unable to swim out of the rip current, float or calmly tread water. When out of the current, swim toward shore.
- If you are still unable to reach shore, draw attention to yourself by waving your arm and yelling for help.
- Stay at least 100 feet away from piers and jetties. Permanent rip currents often exist near these structures.
Rip Current Awareness Week arrives alongside hurricane season, and it is important to remember that storms increase the risk of dangerous surf conditions. Even storms that don't reach shore can cause strong rip currents along the beach posing dangers for swimmers.
If you see someone in trouble, get help from a lifeguard. If a lifeguard is not available, have someone call 911. If possible, throw the victim something that floats, such as a life-jacket, cooler or inflatable ball and give instructions on how to escape the current.
Officials say those trying to help need to remember that many people drown while trying to save someone else from a rip current.

Sudden storms plunge greater Sydney into cold, dark chaos
Heavy storms swept over the Sydney Basin and from the mid-central coast down to Kiama on Saturday afternoon.
Within minutes, temperatures dropped sharply from 30degrees in Bankstown to 19.5 degrees as the storm rolled in from the west at 4pm.
The storm developed over the Blue Mountains and moved swiftly towards the coast, causing traffic delays and flash flooding.
Todd Burns from the State Emergency Service reported 45 calls for leaking roofs and fallen branches.
''Calls are still coming in; the worst-affected part was Sydney's west and down south to the Illawarra,'' he said.
''We had emergency calls coming in from 4pm and we expect more to come. However, there was only minor damage.''
The weather also played havoc with public transport.
The T1 Western Line and Blue Mountains Line were partially closed between Lidcombe and Parramatta in both directions due to lightning strikes affecting signals at Granville.
The T2 Inner West & South Line was also partially closed between Lidcombe and Granville in both directions.
Buses replaced trains between Lidcombe and Parramatta in both directions, as well as between Lidcombe and Granville in both directions.
Passengers are advised to allow plenty of additional travel time, listen to station announcements and check indicator boards.
The A-League football match between the Sydney Wanderers and Adelaide United was delayed after the pitch in Parramatta Stadium was drenched.
The AFL game between GWS Giants and Sydney Swans was stopped for a while because of the storm, which drenched Spotless Stadium when the Swans were leading 6.2 (38) to 4.1 (25). And within half an hour, the skies were clear.

[sny-box color="fff"] In Case You Missed It....
J.R. Smith was the Knicks lead scorer tonight with 28 points on 11-25 shooting from the field. He added seven rebounds and five assists.
Tyson Chandler scored 21 points and had 18 rebounds including six offensive rebounds.
James Johnson scored 17 points off the bench including a buzzer beating three pointer which was his first made three this season.
Marcus Thornton led the Kings in scoring with 18 points and the Kings had six players in double figures.
Chris Copeland had 23 points off the bench as the Knicks bench scored 64 points while the starters combined for only 41 points.
The Kings shot 50% from three (15-30) while the Knicks shot 37% from three (11-30)
The Knicks trailed by as many as 27 points in the 2nd quarter 68-41 and trailed 71-50 at halftime. They did lead by five points in the fourth quarter, a 32 point turn around.
The Knicks shot only 12-20 from the free throw line, which is only 60%
The Kings scored only 35 points in the second half, less than half the points they scored in the first half
The Knicks are now 9-7 on the road and in the calendar year, were only 7-13 on Friday Nights
The range of emotions that I'm sure you all had was on a roller coaster that Six Flags would be jealous of watching this game tonight. Anger from the first half, hope in the third quarter, sheer jubilation for most of the fourth and then ending in heartbreak at the buzzer.
Some quick notes on the game tonight.
- The first half was a combination of poor defense and a hot shooting team. While the second half seemed to almost be like the law of averages on top of a better effort on defense gave the Knicks a chance to pull this game out. The Knicks are fighters, if you take out one positive from this game, that is it.
- The Knicks led by five late but couldn't finish. When making a comeback like this one, it takes a lot of energy to do that and it looked like the final three minutes of this game bore that out. Bricks and the turnover by Kidd really killed the Knicks late.
- Jason Kidd had a rough end of the game. He was totally hosed on a foul call late on Isaiah Thomas and then the turnover on the alley-oop pass to Chandler before the buzzer beater. He has been so good this season, everyone has their down moments in a season, even Kidd.
- There is no quit in Tyson Chandler what so ever, but his poor free throw shooting really hurt the Knicks tonight. He was 3-9 from the Line, while the rest of the Knicks were 9 of 11.
- The Kings sure didn't look a team that was devoid of talent and a mess. I mean, I haven't seen them play once this season, but I'm pretty sure that tonight was the best game they have had all season.
- Chris Copeland is a bit of an issue on the defensive end, but his offense certainly isn't a problem. If he improves on defense, it's a guarantee that he will see some minutes, even when this team gets healthy.
- The Knicks really had no business winning this game, and I pretty much would have rather seen them get blown out than lose at the buzzer. But, again, glass half full approach, we can look at this game and say no matter what, there is always a chance they can comeback.
-Brutal loss. Worse that the Knicks have a 3,000 mile trip home and three days to sit on this loss as well. New Years Day and the potential return of Amar'e and Melo can't come soon enough.
Coming up next, the Knicks will have three days off and then return home on New Years Day to go up against, Damon Lillard, LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trail Blazers. The game will begin at 7:30 pm on Tuesday and will be shown on MSG.
Have a Happy New Year!

SPOKANE, Wash. – Taylor Farnsworth totaled 16 points and seven rebounds to lead 11th-ranked Whitworth to a come-from-behind 77-67 win over visiting Hamline in a non-conference men's basketball game on Monday afternoon.
Farnsworth's career-high point total helped the Pirates rally from an early seven-point deficit and improve to 10-1 with their tenth straight win. Dior Ford scored a game-high 18 points for the visiting Pipers, who dropped to 5-4 and went 1-1 on their holiday trip to Washington State.
"It is great to see Taylor continue the good play that he started in California," said Whitworth head coach Matt Logie referring to Whitworth's three wins before the Christmas break. "He has really stepped up offensively and on the boards."
Hamline came out of the gate making 7 of 10 shots on the way to a 20-13 lead following a three-pointer by Tyler Pannell, one of four he would hit in the first half. Whitworth rallied to tie the game 22-22 on a layup by Zach Payne, but the Pipers went out front again 27-22 after a pull-up jumper by Ford. Whitworth went back up 28-27 following a short jumper from Mack Larkin and the teams went to the locker rooms tied 33-33.
The first half included four lead changes. Hamlin shot 52% (14-27) in the first period, including 46% (5-11) from beyond the arc. Whitworth was 48% (14-29) from the field, but only 2-7 (29%) from three-point range.
The Pirates warmed up from three-point range in the second half, making four during a 15-6 run out of the gate that gave Whitworth a 48-39 lead. George Valle hit two of those threes for the Bucs. Whitworth stretched the lead to 54-43 after Dustin McConnell sank a pair of free throws following a technical foul against Hamline's Wesley Pinera. The Pirates took their largest lead (62-47) on a Farnsworth layup with just over eight minutes to go.
"We have grinders on this team who relish the battle and we've been able to put together important runs this season when we've needed to," Logie said.
But then it was Hamline's turn to rally. The Pipers turned up the defensive pressure, holding the Pirates to only six points over the next seven minutes. When Ryan Welsh drained a three from the corner Hamline had pulled within 65-59 with 4:24 to go. Pinera's two free throws with 1:37 to go got the Pipers within 68-65. Farnsworth answered for the Pirates with a score inside with a minute to play and Hamline coach Nelson Whitmore was whistled for a technical after vehemently arguing the play. He was subsequently given a second technical, allowing Whitworth's McConnell to shoot four free throws. McConnell made three of those to essentially seal the victory for the Pirates.
Farnsworth led five Pirates who reached double figures in scoring. McConnell finished with 15 points after going 10-12 at the free throw line and dished five assists. Valle totaled 14 points while Larkin contributed 11 points and five boards. Wade Gebbers finished with 10 points, six assists and five rebounds. Whitworth shot 57% in the second half to finish the game 52% (27-52) from the field. The Pirates were 5-9 (56%) from beyond the arc in the second half.
Ford made 8-11 from the field and two free throws for his 18 points. Noah Aguirre added 14 points and Pannell finished the game with the 12 points he scored in the opening half. Victor Easter had eight points, seven rebounds and five assists. Hamline shot 43% in the second half and finished the game 47% (27-57) from the field. The Pipers were only 2-11 from three-point range after halftime.
"Our defense didn't start out the way we'd like, but we turned up the intensity level a got some stops in the second half to be able to build our lead," Logie said.
Whitworth will return to Northwest Conference play this coming weekend with games at Pacific (Ore.) on Friday and Lewis & Clark on Saturday.

About Hamlet Lavastida
Exploring the ideological language that promised to shape a new reality
"Let's be clear. I and my generation believe in the revolution, the thing in which I not believe is in the corrupt institutionalization and in the perpetual silence inherited for almost 60 decades."
Hamlet Lavastida is a political activist by way of his art. The provocative, boundary-pushing artist thrives on highlighting the distinctly Cuban spirit of cultural resistance. His work, for which he has been exiled more than once, reconstructs old Cuban political and military propaganda. Hamlet delights in the fact that his work allows him to be a detective; winding through historical linguistic and iconographic tools employed by the regime.
Born and raised in Havana, Hamlet wants us to rethink Cuba. As the country evolves and contemplates its future, he feels a responsibility to keep Cuba's true identity and spirit of resistance alive.
Hamlet's work has been exhibited across the globe, including at the Artium Museum in Spain, the Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art in Poland, and the Liverpool Biennial Festival of Contemporary Art.

Well I admit it's an unusual title, but the best I could come to that represents the raven's loudest call. They speak to me continually from my studio, down the chimney, their call echoes through the room. Are these calls a compliment? A criticism? Or just a friendly reminder that they are watching. It's a mystery!
My work expresses the spiritual qualities of the animals and birds by means of composition, color, and brushwork. As I paint, I try to create a vibrational stamp that reflects whatever spiritual quality or qualities that I'm trying to express in that particular piece. I use a lot of close-ups because I want a fairly intense experience, such as gentleness, joy, and love, to be felt by the onlooker. I received my art education in California at the California College of Arts & Crafts and Sonoma State University, where I received a B.A. in Art Studio. I follow the teachings of Yogi Parmahansa Yogananda, and share an interest in the Native American medicine of the animals. My studio is open by appointment only (505) 466-3585...
Our return policy is very simple:
If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on FineArtAmerica.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date.

Help! I caught my dad with my GF
I've had my GF for 2 years now (practically lives with me) - small white, petite thing, cooks for me, always been good to me.
I go away on holiday for a week, come back and something just doesn't seem right. I asked my dad if he had seen anything happen with my GF and he acts clueless.
So fast forward to 3 weeks later... I'm coming home from work when BAM clear as day, right in my Kitchen I catch my father red handed with his meat in my GF.
I was PISSED, told him to get his meat out of GF and GTFO, needless to say my GF got turned off. I just couldn't get over it and that night kicked my GF to the curb.
Now it's been 2 weeks since the incident and that I've been without my GF and about 10 minutes ago my dad had the audacity to ask my how my GF has been, when he's the damn reason we ain't together no more.
Should I get off the computer and start swinging at him?
Pack my stuff and be on my way.
Here's pics of my GF for you lot as I know you'll ask.

I found this funny.
But, I am extremely immature.
Funniest thing I've ever seen on this site
Well done, that man !
Naturally my GF was turned off,
Well, naturally.
It's okay, I pointed it out to people I work with
and they sat reading it for about a half hour before turning round and asking me why I'd tell them my girlfriend was shagging my dad. Not one of them got it, dumb fucks.
I didn't get it, either...
until I realized that GF meant "George Foreman" as in, 'George Foreman grill' I knew something was amiss before I clicked the link though because it didn't make sense for him to include a pic unless it was a picture of them in the act--which he wouldn't likely have had time to take.
Not funny
The joke only worked until half way down. Why would your dad ask you how your sandwich press (whatever it is...gf?)

it wasn't funny it was actually a bit lame
no offence. obviously a lot of effort was put in, so well done!

Okay, this is how it goes. You get an orangutan. I'm not talking a little monkey or some dancing chimp bullshit, I mean a fucking orangutan. Don't ask me how you're gonna get a fucking orangutan, because that's not my problem.
So the orangutan's name is Clyde. This is non-negotiable; all orangutans are named Clyde. I don't know why that is, it's just how the world works. So you and Clyde become man (and ape) about town. You're seen everywhere together, you make the scene. You and friends go out in big groups. You talk loud, you laugh louder. Every time you say something witty, you high-five the orangutan. The town begins to buzz. It gets back to here. "Did you know the guy with the orangutan?", "You use to date the guy with the orangutan?", "Why would you break up with a guy with an orangutan?". Next thing you know she's calling.
"I'm hoping we can still be friends. Wanna hang out sometime?"
"Geez, I dunno; me and Clyde were going to a monster truck race tonight (orangutans love monster trucks). In fact, the whole social calendar seems kinda full. I tell you what, I'll make a little note (what was your name again?) and maybe I can squeeze you in. Oh, well, you know my number so don't be a str-- Hey, look at the time! I gotta skate, Clyde's making Mojitoes."
At this point the upper hand is yours. You can let her twist the wind, you can draw her back into your life at the pace you decide. Whatever, it's your life. But if you're a smart man? You slowly phase her back in. You're IM-ing. You're talking on Live. You get invited to family functions. You bring Clyde, he becomes like one of the family. You're one big Brady Bunch.
I have no idea what the point of this post was
but it's still brilliant.

Kerren is a Korean make up brand I just recently discovered…it's odd when you make a new brand discovery…it's like being let in to a secret…
The range that I saw looked relatively interesting, although the packaging is nothing special. They seem to make a lot of base products like powder and foundation – I tend to keep away from Korean base items as they are too light for me.
I did buy this Multi Highlighter stick because I liked how compact it is! It's about the size of a lip balm – usually highlighter sticks are the size of Nars Multiples:
The packaging is rubbish – PANTS. It's just cheap plastic and I am sure it will start to show hairline cracks. The product:
…is a pretty standard pearly white with a touch of pink:
It is an cool white but it doesn't look too harsh – there is a softness to it I find, that a lot of white highlighters don't have.
When I think about highlighters, I love buying them but I don't usually have time to apply them. I guess this one is similar to Nars Copacobana, although it's got a softer texture to work with:
The size of the stick is great, you can apply it anywhere on your face and blend it in. I applied it (badly) under the brows but you get the idea – it's very handy.
There's a fine shimmer to it, very fine without visible glittery chunks which makes a nice different. I prefer this to any of the Nars highlighter multiples I have because it's so soft and easy to use.
It's just an easy product to use – if you apply it as a base it does crease unfortunately although it does set slightly – it doesn't just stay creamy on the skin!
I bought this from eBay for £10.
What are your favourite highlighters?

The IMS girl's team has had some struggles in the first half of their season, going 3-8.
IMS started their season with a three game losing streak, won one game, had two more loses, two more wins, and then another three game losing streak going into the break.
They are led by Olivia Yutzy with 151 points this season and 64 rebounds.
Head coach Aaron Gingerich said most of the break's work has gone toward the offense.
"Right now we're starting to add some motion offense, and really just teaching the kids the different cuts that can be made using the screens, and trying to do the little things a little better like rubbing shoulders on our cuts and misdirecting on our cuts," Gingerich said. "Hopefully we'll be able to take care some of those little things and starting cleaning up the offense a little bit."
IMS plays L-M on Friday, and then a make-up game against Mediapolis on Saturday.

This hobby ROCKS
- Details
- Debby de Carlo
- Portland Tribune - News
Cornelius teen Brian True loves to collect specimens and plan field trips for the Tualatin Valley Rock & Gem Club
Collectible teddy bears used to fill the shelves of Tina Trues Cornelius home until a rockslide (of sorts) swept them away. More specifically, they were crowded out by the hundreds of rocks her son, Brian, and husband, Dave, have brought back from all over the Northwest.
Im hoping the house doesnt sink, quipped Tina, pointing toward not only the rocks which weigh an estimated 10 tons and line baseboards and window sills as well as shelves but the bulk of trophies Brian, 13, has scored by winning the junior division of the Portland regional rock and gem competition three years in a row.
Brian, 13, is a confirmed rockhound, a hobby his dad and his mom are only too glad to encourage. Im happy to put up with rock dust, Tina said. They are out there making memories.
It all began about six years ago, when Brian stumbled on his fathers rock collection from childhood, discovering rocks wrapped up and stored in boxes. His father told him about collecting rocks when he was a kid and described each rock sparkly samples, specimens with deep black centers, oddly-shaped ones as Brian unwrapped it. He was hooked.
I started going to rock shows, he explained. Tina, who works as a teachers assistant, saw an opportunity for Brian to spend time outdoors with Dave. She found the Tualatin Valley Rock & Gem Club online, and soon Brian and his dad were attending TVRGC meetings at the Forest Grove Senior & Community Center.
That was four years and many field trips not to mention many rocks ago. Brians quiet demeanor belies his passion for the hobby. When hes in his workshop, where most of the rocks are stored, hes all business, focusing on cutting, polishing and tumbling rocks. He likes sharing his knowledge, and has hosted rock programs at Free Orchards Elementary School.
One of his biggest coups is his position on the TVRGC board, where besides being the only person under 40, hes also the field trip chairman, planning and executing outings for other rock enthusiasts.
Nearby trips may have as many as 20 people attending, he said. Those further afield are for extreme rock hounds: a term Brian defines by how far theyre willing to travel; and his mother defines by whether theyre willing to hunt for rocks in the rain.
A March 29 trip will be near Vernonia, where hounds will hunt for agates. Thundereggs are more likely to be found on a May 31 trip near Prineville. A jaunt to Plume, located east of Burns in southeast Oregon, will take hounds on a three-day guided trip in mid-June. Brian has planned a campout at Saddle Mountain for mid-July, while mid-August will take the group to Glass Butte west of Burns, where obsidian can be found.
Brian and veteran rock hounds tend to know what theyll find in any particular part of the state. But there are surprises. Sometimes we find blue agate and pyrite fools gold, he said. And the one rock that eludes him and other members on the trips is amethyst.
While the focus is on rocks, there is wildlife to be seen wherever hounds travel. I saw a black bear cub in the Coast Range, Brian said. At first, I thought it was a dog until I saw it stand up and start to climb a tree.
On the other side of the mountains in Eastern Oregon, rattlesnake awareness is important. Were careful not to step on sagebrush, Brian noted. Theyll generally rattle if you get close. The teen hasnt had any close encounters with snakes, but he sees plenty of black-tailed deer and pronghorn antelope.
Membership chairwoman Dorothy Snook said the local rock and gem club has about 150 members. While almost all are adults, Snook emphasized that young people are welcome.
We encourage people of all ages to join, she said. There are scholarships available for children to attend the Oregon Museum of Science and Industrys Camp Hancock near Fossil. You never know where it might lead.
Brian Trues dream is to one day own a rock shop. In the meantime, he said his mother doesnt have to worry about any more storage space for rocks. When I find a better specimen, I swap out the lesser one.
See for yourself: rock and gem shows abound
You dont have to travel halfway across the state to see amazing rocks and gems. The Tualatin Valley Rock & Gem Club will host its annual Rock and Mineral Show at the Hillsboro FairPlex Friday and Saturday, March 7 and 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, March 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
See jewelry, fossils, supplies and equipment and head to a corner just for kids. Cost is $1. Children 12 and under are free with an adult. Theres free parking, and the MAX line is nearby.
The Walters Cultural Arts Center, 527 E. Main St. in Hillsboro, features Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals curator and Geologist Lara ODwyer-Brown at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 18 as part of the Centers Spoken Word Lecture Series. ODwyer-Brown will discuss how the Northwest became home to a plethora of captivating rocks, minerals and semi-precious gemstones that draw collectors from around the world.
In addition to the lecture, a traveling display of these natural wonders will be in the lobby from March 4 through April 26, including thundereggs, petrified wood, quartz, agate, jasper, metallic ores, the Washington State gem and even Oregons state rock.
The Rice museum itself is open from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday at 26385 N.W. Groveland Dr. in Hillsboro, just north of Highway 26 via the Helvetia exit. Cost is $8 adults, $7 seniors, $6 students, children 4 and under free.

Michael Teofilo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 198 designs submitted by 60 freelance designers.
I am a 21 year old undergraduate at the University of Guelph looking for a unique and appealing logo to publish on to a newly developed shopping site. The site in brief allows shoppers to browse upon local stores in search of both products and services that businesses may offer. Each business will be able to create a virtual store front broadcasting their merchandise and pricing along side with photos, general business information and sales and promotions.
The website has two target markets; one being the businesses and the other being local shoppers. The website target market is small to medium size independent businesses whom does not yet have an online presence. Anyone coming from a shoppers perspective is able to use our services for free. The website is considered to be the first product and service classified and intends to push new borders as the sites online community grows in popularity. Please visit Shopeteer.com for more information and a company brief down. If you decide to go to the website, I have recently changed names for the site so IGNORE its transferred URL.
We are looking for a logo to represent Shopeteer.com.
1. The meaning behind Shopeteer is one whom takes an interest or is a shopping enthusiast.
2. Colors for the logo should be similar to the website. These colours are red, white, black and grey.
3. Should be simplistic in nature but not to childish.
4. The type face should incorporate some of the colours represented in the logo.
5. I need the logo in .JPEG and .EPS
6. No clip art or stock images
7. Be creative and if you decide to pursue with this project make sure you enjoy it.
This is only the beginning. Please see the attached file for a sample template of the final website.

No. 16 Mississippi stymied by Noel, Wiltjer in 87-74 loss to Kentucky
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
OXFORD, Miss. – Mississippi wasn't shy about taking the ball to the basket Tuesday night, even with Kentucky's accomplished shot blocker Nerlens Noel roaming the paint.
That confidence was impressive. The results were not.
Noel blocked a school-record 12 shots, dominating on the defensive end as the Wildcats beat No. 16 Mississippi 87-74, snapping the Rebels' nine-game winning streak.
"(Noel) was just unreal to me," Ole Miss forward Murphy Holloway said. "He's the best shot blocker to ever play the game. He doesn't even have to score a point. He can change the whole game."
Saying Noel is the best shot blocker ever might be slight hyperbole. But for one night, it was hard to argue.
Kentucky coach John Calipari — who is always a tough critic — said Noel played well but was still struggling with consistency. Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy was in a more complimentary mood.
"He was the difference in the game," Kennedy said. "I think we can all agree with that. An incredible defensive presence."
Kentucky (14-6, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) looked like it might run away with the win, taking a 73-56 lead with 10 minutes remaining after trailing by one point at halftime. But the Rebels roared back with 16 straight points, cutting the deficit to 73-72 with 4:22 left.
Ryan Harrow nailed a 3-pointer to stop Ole Miss' run and Kentucky was able to hold on for the road victory. Noel was terrific in the final few minutes — flying all over the court with his distinctive flattop haircut — blocking four shots despite playing with four fouls.
Ole Miss (17-3, 6-1) was led by LaDarius White's 22 points while Marshall Henderson added 21. Henderson made 5 of 19 shots from the field, including just 2 of 11 from 3-point range.
While Noel was patrolling the paint on defense, Kentucky got a career-high 26 points from Kyle Wiltjer. The 6-10 sophomore hit 10 of 19 shots from the field, including 5 of 12 from 3-point range.
"I tried to be aggressive," Wiltjer said. "They were playing my shot pretty tightly, so I was able to drive a little bit and my teammates found me. We did a good job in transition. It was a great team win."
Archie Goodwin scored 24 points and Alex Poythress added 15 for Kentucky.
Goodwin made 6 of 11 shots from the field and 12 of 14 from the free throw line. He had six rebounds and four assists.
"We're getting better as a team," Calipari said. "That's a good win."
Ole Miss led 38-37 at halftime despite making just 13 of 44 shots (29.5 percent) from the field. Henderson led the Rebels with 16 points and White had 15.
Kentucky stayed close thanks to Wiltjer's 17 points while Goodwin added 10, but the Wildcats struggled at the free throw line, making just 10 of 20.
Both teams struggled with foul trouble for almost the entire first half and had to dig deep on the bench for bodies.
But once the second half started, the Wildcats were back at full strength and their offense exploded. Wiltjer hit two early 3s to push Kentucky ahead and the lead grew to 73-56 with 10 minutes left.
Kentucky's offense was good during that stretch, but the Ole Miss defense was just as bad. The Wildcats made several easy baskets in transition and off offensive rebounds.
And with Ole Miss needing points, Henderson was mostly silent in the second half. The Rebels came back anyway, with the stunning run that cut the deficit to 73-72 with 4:22 left.
Once again, the Rebels were let down by their defense. Harrow hit the wide open 3-pointer and the Wildcats were able to slowly put the game away. Harrow finished with 13 points.
"We got a little rattled, but we regrouped," Wiltjer said. "I'm proud of the guys for stepping up. That was huge for us in that situation."
Ole Miss shot just 28 of 85 from the field (32.9 percent). The Rebels did outrebound Kentucky 52-45 and grabbed 26 offensive rebounds, but the poor shooting was tough to overcome.
"Our guards shoot a combined 10 of 38 from the field," Kennedy said. "That's not going to get you much."
Murphy Holloway became Ole Miss' all-time leading rebounder on Tuesday, passing Walter Actwood's record with his 946th rebound in the second half. The 6-7 senior is the only player in the SEC averaging a double-double, but was mostly quiet against Noel and the Wildcats with 10 points and eight rebounds.
