I just found an excellent explanation of why suid shell scripts are a very bad idea.
So just be glad that most modern OSes don't allow it. You really don't want to do it, in the first place.
Yes, yes, yes. I know. You do want to do it, and you're really really sure (really really really sure) that it will all be nice and secure; you've got a firewall, completely trusted users, regular password changes, and all the rest of it.
You still don't want to do it.
Do it in C – you could even get away with a C wrapper, if you must.
But – and let me be quite clear on this:
Don't do it. It really isn't worth it, however much it seems, right now, to be a good idea.
What is the "SUID bit"?
The suid bit, is what you get from a "
chmod u+s" command, which will set the permissions to "-rwsr-xr-x", or similar (note the "s" replacing the usual "x"). That means that you can run certain commands with the permissions of a different user (typically
root). This is very useful -for example, a normal user under Linux can't open an ICMP socket (see footnote), so they can't run the
ping command. As a fix, it's suid root:
$ ls -l /bin/ping -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 30848 2007-03-05 04:25 /bin/ping
okay, it's owned by "root", and the SUID bit is set. It will work fine, because
ping itself has
root permissions:
$ /bin/ping -c 1 localhost PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.060 ms --- localhost ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.060/0.060/0.060/0.000 ms
Good stuff. Now, what if we make a copy? That copy will be owned by a normal user ("steve", in this example), so it won't have root permissions:
$ cp /bin/ping /tmp/ $ ls -l /tmp/ping -rwsr-xr-x 1 steve steve 30848 2007-04-22 00:46 /tmp/ping $ /tmp/ping localhost ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
It still had the SUID bit set, it's just the owner that changed. Let's just confirm that it's the "suid + root" that mattered:
$ chmod 755 /tmp/ping $ ls -l /tmp/ping -rwxr-xr-x 1 steve steve 30848 2007-04-22 00:46 /tmp/ping $ /tmp/ping localhost ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
And what if it's owned by
$ sudo chown root:root /tmp/ping $ ls -l /tmp/ping -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30848 2007-04-22 00:46 /tmp/ping $ /tmp/ping localhost ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
[footnote]: Why can't I "ping"?
The reason that Linux
ping has to be run as root, isn't because
ping itself is inherently dangerous, but the things that it does (open network connections, sends data over the network to other machines, and receives data back from them) are potentially dangerous. Therefore, those functions are restricted to the
root user. So
ping can be seen as a special subset of commands which – whilst they do these potentially dangerous things, do them in a safe and secure manner. This means that the
ping command can be elevated to superuser status by the "SUID bit": It's a trusted user of certain potentially dangerous commands.
A taxi cab is a useful thing, but it could be used for a ram-raid. The taxi cab, in this case, is like the network protocol. The taxi driver is
ping. We trust
ping to do the Good Stuff, and not the Bad Stuff. So, we don't let anyone get in and start driving the taxi, but we do let anyone get in and ask the taxi driver to take them somewhere. The command "
ping DoS attack http://www.google.com" will not work – although another network utility, with the same permissions, may well perform a DoS attach. Similarly, getting into a taxi and telling the driver to "drive into that electronics store front window, wait for me to pile the car up with goods, and take me to my hiding place" is not likely to work. If you had a car (had root access) yourself, you could do it, but you can't (well, should not be able to) convince these trusted services to do nasty stuff on your behalf.
For that reason, we need to be very picky about what code gets the "SUID bit" promotion – the restrictions are there for a reason, so any program with a SUID bit must be able to prove that it will "only use its powers for good, and not for evil", in the good old melodramatic cliche.
Black-hat hackers will spend a lot more time looking at a suid program like
ping than at they will at a normal program like
cat, even though
cat is far more flexible. If
mkdir had the SUID bit set, all kinds of mayhem would ensue.
For shell scripts, where security-through-obscurity is not even possible (
chmod permissions of
r-x are required, at a minimum, so everyone who can run the script, can read exactly how it was written), suid is always to be avoided.

Pam Schwartzberg Wins AAI Investigator Award
Pam Schwartzberg Wins AAI Investigator Award
Pamela L. Schwartzberg, M.D., Ph.D., senior investigator and head of the Cell Signaling Section of the Genetic Disease Research Branch of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), will receive the AAI-BD Biosciences Investigator Award from the American Association of Immunologists (AAI).
Announced January 25, 2008, the award recognizes Dr. Schwartzberg's outstanding, early-career research contributions to the field of immunology and her high-impact observations in the broad field of T-cell signaling. Her work utilizes genetic and biochemical approaches to dissect signaling pathways in T cells and determine the roles these pathways play in lymphocyte development and function.
"To be in the same category as some of the other awardees is an incredible honor," Dr. Schwartzberg said. "I was not trained as an immunologist, and I really have learned from my colleagues on the NIH campus. Their feedback has been invaluable."
Dr. Schwartzberg's selection reflects the appreciation in the immunology community for contributions from a genomics researcher. It recognizes her accomplishments to date and her promise of success in the future.
Dr. Schwartzberg will accept the award on April 7, 2008 at the 95th annual meeting of AAI in San Diego, where she has been invited to deliver a special lecture to mark the honor. The award includes a plaque, $3,000 and travel support to attend the AAI annual meeting.
AAI is the largest professional association of immunologists, with a membership of more than 6,500 scientists.

Man accused of exploiting 90-year-old
A 43-year-old Topaz Ranch Estates man is facing several felony charges after authorities say he attempted to convince his 90-year-old employer to adopt him.
Anthony Edward Kochanowski is set for a court appearance April 16 in East Fork Justice Court.
He is charged with exploitation of the elderly, two counts of forgery, two counts of grand larceny of a motor vehicle and grand larceny against a person age 60 or older.
According to the complaint, Kochanowski was employed by the alleged victim who owned the Mountain View Mobile Home Park.
He was terminated, and in January, a person who is in charge of the elderly man's estate noted that several items were missing.
They included a 2013 Polaris All-Terrain Vehicle worth $17,000 and a 1985 Honda motorcycle worth $3,500.
Other missing items included a utility trailer, snow plow, cargo trailer, two Craftsman tool boxes, a portable battery charger, Husqvarna commercial lawn mower, welding equipment and a Cushman ATV tracked amphibious vehicle, according to the complaint.
Some of the items reportedly were seen at the suspect's residence.
The information also alleges that Kochanowski had the victim sign over power of attorney, but the alleged victim was declared incompetent after an investigation by Douglas County's Special Advocates for Elders program.
The suspect is accused of falsifying a bill of sale in an attempt to transfer ownership of the Polaris, plus two other vehicles.
According to the report, an adoption attempt was halted, and a guardian appointed for the 90-year-old man.

Imager::Search::Screenshot - An image captured from the screen
Imager::Search::Screenshot is a Imager::Search::Image subclass that allows you to capture images from the screen.
This provides a convenient mechanism to source the target images for applications that need to (visually) monitor an existing graphical system.
my $image = Imager::Search::Screenshot->new(
[ id => 0 ],
driver => 'BMP24',
new constructor initates a screen capture and returns the image.
In addition to params inherited from Imager::Search::Image it additionally can take as the first parameter a reference to an ARRAY.
It provided, the contents of the ARRAY are passed through to the underlying Imager::Screenshot
screenshot method, which is used to do the actual image capture.
Returns a new Imager::Search::Screenshot object, or dies on error.
See the SUPPORT section of the main Imager::Search module.

One of the first items of business for teams when their seasons end is to sign guys to future contracts for the following year, usually their practice squaders.
The Patriots did a bit of that business as well, but threw in a quarterback who might still have some potential as a backup.
They signed former Eagles fourth-rounder Mike Kafka, who was lost in the shuffle when the Eagles drafted Nick Foles. Kafka played in four games as a rookie, but was released by the Eagles before the start of the regular season and didn't sign with anyone this year.
Kafka had a workout with the Steelers last season when they were running out of bodies, but was never signed.
The Patriots also signed former Browns defensive end Marcus Benard, along with five of their practice squaders, running back James Develin, wide receivers Jeremy Ebert and Andre Holmes, defensive lineman Tracy Robertson and linebacker Jeff Tarpinian.

Relive your wasted youth with Trikanoid, a remake of classic brick-breaking game Arkanoid
Arkanoid was an 80′s arcade classic, a great test of hand-eye coordination as you tried to clear a breakout-style pattern of blocks from the screen.
But if you missed the game the first time, that's not a problem, because Trikanoid has bought it back to life for both PCs and Macs.
As the authors themselves point out, this isn't a precise remake. The old monochrome graphics and synthetic sounds probably wouldn't appeal too much, so instead they've used high resolution backgrounds, quality animations, and a professional soundtrack: it's all very polished.
It's also a little confusing, at least initially, because we were using the cursor keys to navigate the menus, Enter to select an option, and finding out that nothing was happening. Why? Ah, because the space bar is the selector and general "action" key here. Once we figured that out, everything started working as expected and all was well.
Play is simple enough, at least in principle, and you'll recognize the idea if you've ever played a breakout-type game. You control a paddle, which sits in front of a pattern of tiles. You fire a ball against the tiles, destroying one, then must move the paddle to catch the ball and bounce it back. If the ball gets past the paddle, you lose a life. If you keep it bouncing back until all the tiles are gone, then you move onto the next level.
There are all kinds of variations to keep you entertained, though. Sometimes you'll have to "catch" falling tiles to win extra points, for instance. There are "aliens" to destroy, and quirky little bonuses here and there -- like a moment when three balls appear at once -- as well as a very big End Of Game monster if you manage to clear all 33 levels.
And all this is unambiguously for free: no adware, no loaded requirements for you to sign up with accounts anywhere, not even a Donate button, it's all nicely unpressured.
If there's a small hassle here then perhaps it's difficulty. If your paddle catches the ball even slightly off center then it moves off at an ever steeper angle, making it extremely difficult to control.
It could just be that we're not very good at the game, of course, but either way, Trikanoid is an excellent game, a great revival of an arcade classic which just might keep you occupied for a very long time.

Over the years I've veganized dozens of recipes for baked goods from the Joy of Cooking, but ironically I had never tried the two cake recipes in this encyclopedic cookbook that are actually labeled vegan.
So this week, with a little time to kill and a craving for something sweet and orange-y, I decided to try my hand, finally, at the Ultra-Orange Vegan Cake.
Like almost everything I've ever made from this cookbook, it bowled me over. It was moist, delicious, perfectly sweet, and– best of all– it took me no more than 10 minutes to throw the ingredients together. Yes, it was that easy.
The recipe called for some orange zest. I didn't have an orange on hand to zest, so I instead threw in a couple of tablespoons of Cointreau which is, of course, an orange liqueur. Alcohol AND cake? I couldn't be happier.
Here is the Vegan Orange Cake recipe. Enjoy, everyone!
Vegan Orange Cake
- Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup minus 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tbsp Cointreau liqueur (Meanure the Cointreau into a cup measure first and then top it off with OJ)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Mix together the wet ingredients and add to the dry. Stir until smooth.
- Pour into a greased and floured cake pan, preferably lined with wax or parchment paper which makes it easier to unmold the cake.
- Bake in a 350-degree oven for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then slide a thin knife around the edges.
- Gently remove the cake from the pan and continue cooling on a rack.
- This cake is best by itself, but a dollop of whipped vegan cream does no harm, if you know what I mean 🙂

And another study:
It seems there is some strong evidence that the more intelligent a person is the less he/she believes in the existence of God. In a study done by the psychology department at the University of Edinburgh last year, Gary J. Lewis, Stuart J. Ritchie, and Timothy C. Bates looked at links between lower levels of intelligence and high levels of religiosity.
Their findings showed that intelligence was significantly and negatively associated with measures of religion, especially fundamentalism. What was demonstrated was that those with greater cognitive skills are able to form more open-minded (antiauthoritarian) attitudes than those with lesser cognitive abilities. In other words, greater intelligence leads to more open mindedness and individualism; resulting in an intellectual conflict with the arguments made by religious scripture and leaders. This is particularly true with fundamentalism's literalistic interpretation of scripture.
In another study done three years ago, Average Intelligence Predicts Atheism Rates Across 137 Nations, by Richard Lynn, John Harvey, and Helmuth Nyborg, the authors reviewed evidence pointing to a negative relationship between intelligence and religious belief in the U.S. and Europe.
The factors included not only evidence pointing to a negative relationship between intelligence and religious belief; but also lower percentages of those who are extremely intelligent holding religious beliefs compared with the general population, a decline of religious belief with age among children and adolescents as their cognitive abilities increase, and the decline of religious belief during the course of the twentieth century as the intelligence of populations has increased.
The authors mention 38 other studies that found a negative correlation between intelligence and religious belief; and a study in the Netherlands that reported agnostics scored 4 IQ points higher than believers. In another study it was demonstrated that those who responded to "not religious at all" had the highest IQ.
In the 1990s, a study of members of the American National Academy of Sciences reported that seven percent believed in the existence of God, as compared with approximately ninety percent found in the general population. In Britain, it was found that 3.3 percent of Fellow of the Royal Society believed in the existence of God, while 78.8 percent did not believe.
It seems clear from these studies that intelligence/cognitive abilities determine one's acceptance of religious mythology.
When you leaving...I wanna go too. :)

Condor Breaks Loose At Minor League Hockey Game, Creates Havoc
Minor league hockey doesn't always pack in the fans, especially in the desert climate of Bakersfield, Calif., where the hometown Condors sometimes resort to odd promotions and in-game entertainment, like setting a giant crazed bird loose in the arena.
Prior to each home game, the Condors have a real, giant condor, which they uncage and trust to the custody of its handler during the national anthem. Before the Condors game against the Las Vegas Wranglers on Friday, the condor decided to make a break for it. Watch the video below to see what happened:
The bird man tried to contain the condor as best he could, but once a bird that large starts flapping away, it's pretty much like Big Bird on bath salts. The best thing anyone can do is cover their head and flee toward the exits. The handler almost corralled the condor, but he slipped on the ice on the way back to the cage, setting the bird loose for the rampage across the ice and into the Condors bench and locker room.
We have an uneasy feeling that IF the Condors decide to use the condor again, the bird will be wheeled out to center ice like Hannibal Lecter in 'Silence of the Lambs.'

Emporium Arcade Bar
1366 N. Milwaukee Ave. No phone yet
Rating: 3 (out of four) Off to a good start
Let's get one thing straight: Emporium Arcade Bar doesn't need any press coverage to survive in Chicago. The concept—a throwback arcade that also serves good beer and whiskey—was enough to draw huge crowds when it opened earlier this week. After grabbing some tacos nearby, a few friends and I settled in with our pockets full of tokens to see if the Wicker Park bar would live up to the nerd hype.
Let's get the basics out of the way: If you were compelled to read this because of your undying love of NBA Jam, you probably just want to know the following: Emporium is opening at 5 p.m. on weekdays (for now). All the games (more than 30 video games and three pinball machines; see a full list at emporiumchicago.com/games) take customized tokens, which are four for $1 at an exchange machine near the bar. No, you can't tip with them/exchange tokens for beer. And yes, those metal shelves next to the consoles are for your glass.
Holy dude paradise, Batman: It's not that there weren't any gals in attendance when we stopped in. There were. It's just that there were so many guys. Scraggly haired metal guys. Holstered smartphone-wearing corporate guys. Socially awkward cargo-shorted guys. Behind the bar, at the bar, three deep at the Street Fighter II machine. Stereotype-fulfilling or not, those are the facts. But the ladies in attendance didn't look out of place—no one really seemed to care if the person manning Donkey Kong next to them was in a skirt or not. I expect the ratio to balance slightly as more mixed groups start hitting the spot over the weekend. And if it doesn't? Well, at least there won't be a wait for the ladies' room.
There's always drinking: The games aren't the only draw to Emporium. The bar also features a healthy selection of craft beer on draft, including brews from Bell's, Goose Island, Great Lakes, Left Hand, North Coast and Metropolitan, with prices hovering around $5. Plenty of whiskey is also on display if you feel the need to switch to the hard stuff. But is this the kind of place to just relax with a pint? Not right now. When it's as packed as it was opening night (a crowd you can expect to hold steady into the weekend and possibly beyond), the noise and energy level is just too high for much conversation. Everyone is milling around, chatting over the music and bouncing from game to game. Past 7 p.m., there was a constant wait at the bar, which made snagging a barstool nearly impossible. If the crowds slow down, the abundant seating near the front of the bar would be perfect for a round or two if you're in the neighborhood, but if it's packed and you don't intend on playing anything, don't bother. It's called an arcade bar for a reason.
Where'd you get that popcorn? Brilliantly situated Antique Taco is going to see major business from gamers with the munchies. Since the bar doesn't serve food, you can BYO and this neighboring restaurant's menu is a perfect match. Think crispy fish tacos, guac and chips and the aforementioned popcorn, flavored with habanero, cilantro and cheddar.
Bottom line: If you got excited the minute you heard an arcade bar was coming to Chicago, then Emporium won't disappoint. There's a good variety of games for nostalgia lovers and newbies alike (everyone likes Tetris, right?) and the beer list is solid. If you just want to drink all night, you can take a pass, but if you're looking to grab a fistful of tokens and go to town, be sure to put Emporium on your must-try list.

Turned out, I stole it! Many years later a big storm went through Kansas City and a tree limb fell on my parents' outdoor shed. They had stored a lot of "excess" stuff from my room in that shed and asked me to come over to save what I could. In one box I found several high school memories and my mysterious missing Kuhn family book. Unfortunately, the fallen limb had smashed the box open and the book was soaked. I left it out for a week and let it dry out, but the pages were now molded and brittle. However, I couldn't bear to part with my little bit of history.
Flash forward another 10 years and my patience and persistence in tracking down another version of the book have come to fruition. A cousin brought to my attention that the Allison-Antrim Museum in Greencastle, Pennsylvania had a digital copy available online. Fantastic! Thanks to cousin M and to the Allison-Antrim Museum for bringing back this little bit of me!
To learn more about Greencastle and it's history visit the Allison-Antrim Museum website.

Last week I went to the Total Home event in New York, an annual showcase of new products from a few select brands, including Le Creuset, Simplehuman, Schmidt Bros knives, Edgeware, and Casabella. Here are a few new products that caught my eye:
- Edgeware: I was perhaps most excited about the Grate Ginger tool from Edgeware. As you know, we loooooooove Edgeware's citrus zester, and this new little tool looks like it might end up in that class. This all-in-one tool basically peels, grates, slices, and juices ginger. (Maybe you could use it for garlic, too?) As someone who uses a lot of ginger and gets very frustrated grating it, I can't wait for this tool to come out. Retail $20 and available later this fall. Other new offerings from Edgeware: a pizza cutter sharpener and an 3-in-one peeler, with an attached scrubber and paring knife.
- Le Creuset: We always love seeing what Le Creuset has in store for us. They've recently expanded on their coffee and tea collection, which now includes espresso mugs, a tea-for-one pot, and cute little tea bag holders in the shape of a teapot! Other standouts include a brand-new extra large double burner grill ($230) and a Spanish paella pan ($230), available in September.
- Casabella: A few new offerings from Casabella include a 2-in-1 veggie brush. The harder bristles on the outside are good for cleaning potatoes, celery, apples, and carrots, while the pop-out softer silicone brush on the inside is meant for mushrooms. They also have a new one-handed cherry pitter that pits cherries with the push of a button (you can also use for olives) and a few brightly colored silicone jiggers.
- Schmidt Bros Cutlery: Schmidt Bros knives have really expanded in the last two years. From their initial launch at West Elm, they've now moved into other big box stores like Macy's and Sur La Table. They've got a new line of Titanium knives coming out, new cream bone handles on select knives, and they're launching specialty gift sets for the holidays.
- Simplehuman: The big new development with Simplehuman is their rechargeable automatic soap dispenser. Yup, you heard right. Their sensor pump (which is really nice in the kitchen when you've got messy hands!) now has a USB port on the back. Plug it into the wall, your computer, whatever. What will they think of next? Available now for $70.
- Dreamfarm: The silicone Sit-Up Scraping Spoon from Dreamfarm isn't new, but it has been so popular that it keeps selling out of the stores! Once I saw it myself, I understood why. The long narrow, flexible design would be perfect for scraping out the last bits of tough-to-reach jars. You can also use it for measuring, and the angled end means it sits up off the countertop (no mess). It's one of those tools you reach for again and again. Available now.

Click here for the article in Nature, International weekly journal of science.
It began with cooperation. When life first arose, teams of small molecules got together to perform tasks none could manage alone or so the theory goes. For the first time, networks like this have been built in the lab.
The earliest life may have been a primordial soup of RNA molecules, but the first crude self-replicating molecules in this "RNA world" would have faced a big problem. They had to grow to store more information, but that made copying errors more likely. Get big enough and these errors become almost certain, destroying the molecule's information.
In theory, the first replicators could have avoided this "error catastrophe" by splitting their information between several cooperating molecules. Then the network could function as long as copies of each molecule survived.
Repair one for the team
To see if this strategy would work, Niles Lehman of Portland State University in Oregon and colleagues created three RNA molecules that could repair each other – A did B, B did C, and C did A.
When the team put these broken molecules together in a test tube, the collective network worked well. When they pitted the cooperative network against a selfish, self-repairing molecule, the cooperators won out.
Although earlier studies showed that pairs of molecules can cooperate, Lehman is the first to create a network of 3, opening the door to much larger networks. "If you can go from 2 to 3, you can go from 3 to infinity," he says. Lehman repeated the study with 48 different fragments of an RNA molecule. Sure enough, they assembled into a network that eventually included all 48.
Such cooperation may have arisen early in the RNA world and helped to build complexity, says Gerald Joyce of the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego. "It's an experimental demonstration that real molecules can do this," he says.
Stick together
Cooperating RNA networks might have an even greater advantage if the component molecules could cluster together in space.
To show this, Philip Bevilacqua and colleagues at Penn State University in University Park studied an RNA called a "hammerhead ribozyme" that cuts itself into pieces. They helped the RNAs to cluster by putting them into a solution containing both dextran and polyethylene glycol. These two compounds separate instead of mixing, causing the ribozyme, which is more soluble in the dextran portion, to become more concentrated.
They found this increased the RNA's reaction rate about 70-fold (Nature Chemistry, doi.org/jjk). Something similar – a pore on a rock surface, say, or a slime layer – could have given prebiotic molecules a boost as life got started, says Joyce.

GROWERS FACE the ever-challenging task of managing outputs while maximizing their income. And as fertilizer costs continue to climb, the task becomes more daunting.
Fertilizer prices are about 15% above last year's prices. Potash and phosphate showed the sharpest price increase, up 26%. Cost of mixed fertilizers was up 11%, while nitrogen cost increased 17%, according to the USDA.
Larry Murphy, president of the Fluid Fertilizer Foundation, explains that three factors are contributing to higher prices: increased natural gas costs, an increased world demand and an increased ability to purchase raw materials.
Natural gas prices directly correlate with nitrogen prices; therefore, as natural gas prices have climbed, so have nitrogen prices. The higher prices have affected production, cutting into supply, Murphy says.
International demand is driving up the prices of phosphorous and potash.
"There's not much that can be done about it in the short term, but eventually prices will moderate," Murphy says. Changes in supply around the world will affect available supply and prices. For example, China is becoming more self-sufficient as a fertilizer manufacturer and exporter. Of its phosphorus production, 15%, will be exported. Those exports will ultimately force North American prices down, and they might also force a change in availability.
In the interim, growers still have options to help manage fertilizer costs. Some growers are switching to no-till and strip-till or planting more soybeans and sunflowers to help alleviate the pressures of the price hike.
Murphy believes that growers can manage fertilizer costs most effectively through efficient nitrogen application. "For instance, you see the best results when liquid fertilizers can be applied in contact with the soil or subsurface to get high concentration zones," he says.
Growers in high-residue cropping systems also can manage fertilizer cost and improve their nitrogen efficiency with starter fertilizers. Murphy says a starter fertilizer should be a management decision up front, regardless of soil test values. Starter fertilizers can help overcome the early season stresses of cold, excess soil moisture and compaction. "It can really add bushels and ultimately dollars to the bottom line," he says.
He adds that micronutrient management also can have a significant impact on efficiency of other nutrients, yields, and ultimately a grower's bottom line as dictated by production costs per bushel.
As growers face the challenge of higher fertilizer prices, they will cut back on fertilizer use, Murphy says. "Growers will start back up the line, first cutting off micronutrients, then sulfur, potash, phosphorous and finally they will just try to maintain their nitrogen," he says. "They may get by with it for awhile, but it won't last forever."

World Bulletin / News Desk
The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee has quietly approved a plan to step up both public and internal government oversight of the use of armed drones to kill suspected militants overseas, including American citizens.
The committee voted in closed session earlier this week to approve legislative language that would require U.S. spy agencies to make public statistics on how many people were killed or injured in missile strikes launched from U.S.-operated drones.
The committee also approved language intended to bolster scrutiny of secret spy agency deliberations over decisions about targeting U.S. citizens or residents for lethal drone strikes overseas.
The Obama administration has been under heavy pressure from foreign governments, the United Nations and human rights groups to be more transparent and rigorous in accounting for the civilian casualties caused by drone strikes.
Though the committee did not release full details of its deliberations on the measures, sources familiar with the discussions said that some committee Republicans were opposed to the drone-related clauses in the bill, which would authorize intelligence activities for the current government fiscal year which began on Oct. 1.
Ultimately, according to a press release issued by Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Democrat who chairs the intelligence panel, the committee approved the bill by a vote of 13-2. The two senators who voted against it were Republicans, a congressional source said.
The press release makes no mention of the language in the bill about drones. An official familiar with the matter said that this was because some Republicans argued that, since drone attacks are officially covert actions by the U.S. government, it would be inappropriate to set rules for such operations in a public law.
The Obama administration drastically increased the number of drone strikes after it took office in 2009 but attacks have dropped off in the last year.
Pakistan's North Waziristan is the area of the most intensive U.S. drone campaign in the world. The United States has also attacked militants in Yemen, Afghanistan and Somalia with drones.
Last month, Pakistan told the United Nations that at least 400 civilians were among the approximately 2,200 people killed by drone strikes in the past decade.
The bill approved by the committee now must go before the full Senate. The House of Representatives would also have to approve the bill, and the president sign it, for it to become law.
If the language approved by the committee becomes law, once a year the president would be obliged to issue a report setting out the total number of combatants killed or injured in U.S. drone strikes abroad, as well as the number of "non-combatant civilians."
Exempted from the report would be any drone strikes that were launched in Afghanistan before the end of U.S. combat operations there, which are due to conclude at the end of next year, and any drone strikes conducted in a war explicitly authorized by Congress.
An official familiar with the matter said that Feinstein had been trying, unsuccessfully, to persuade the administration of President Barack Obama to release such information voluntarily.
Administration officials have maintained privately that the numbers of non-combatant civilians killed or injured in U.S. drone strikes against militants have been relatively minimal - in the low dozens. By contrast, respected human rights groups have produced much larger totals.
The bill also would require the director of national intelligence, when considering whether a U.S. citizen or resident should be targeted for a drone strike overseas, to empower a so-called red team to conduct an "independent alternative analysis" of the intelligence that officials have put forward to justify the drone attack.
A second official familiar with this issue said intelligence agencies already follow a secret procedure similar to this, but that the bill would give this procedure more weight.
As far as is publicly known, only one U.S. citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, a militant preacher who allegedly became involved in plotting attacks against U.S. targets while a leader of al Qaeda's Yemen-based affiliate, was ever formally targeted by the United States for a lethal drone attack, though at least a handful of other Americans, including Awlaki's teenage son, were also reportedly killed by drones.Last Mod: 09 Kasım 2013, 13:20

A few weeks ago while I was in Florida visiting my husband's family, I had stumbled across a bottle of fresh Floridian Key Lime juice. Having a strong love for anything Key Lime and a fresh boost of confidence thanks to what I learned at the FBF Conference I decided that this little green bottle was coming back to California with me.
Now, many of you know... I'm not much of a baker, I'm more of a faker. Meaning I can fake-bake my way into a delicious dessert whenever needed but it's not my strong point. With that in mind, I sought out for some inspiration via Pinterest and ended up finding a straight forward Key Lime Pie recipe that I knew I could doctor up to make it my own!
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, crushed (about 12 squares)
- 1/2 shredded coconut
- 3 T Sugar
- 3/4 stick butter (about 1/3 cup)
- 3 egg whites, beaten
- 2 (14 oz) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup key lime juice
- 1 T Lime zest
- 1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla work great!)
1. Crush the graham cracker squares in a food processor or chopper adding in the coconut once the crackers have turned to crumbs.
2. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, add sugar and butter, and mix into the crushed graham cracker.
3. Press 1 tablespoon graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a cupcake liner. Push the mixture down with your fingers to fully cover the bottom of the liner.
4. Bake the mini crusts at 350 degrees for 8 minutes so that it can harden.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together egg whites, condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and Greek yogurt. I used an electric hand mixer and the consistency was great!
6. Fill the cupcakes about 3/4 of the way full with the mixture. Bake for 12-15 minutes and cool in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
7. Top with fresh whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes and a little lime zest right before serving.

Art Blakey
Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley has been called underrated so many times that the word may as well have been his middle name, and when combined with the numerous financial, personal, and health issues the saxophonist endured during his career, it all added up to a middle of the pack position in the jazz canon. He truly deserves a reevaluation. This delightfully warm set was cut on March 8, 1957 with Mobley on tenor sax, Art Farmer on trumpet, Horace Silver on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and the energetic and busy Art Blakey on drums, which makes for a pretty nice session band when all is said and done. All eight selections (two are bonus tracks, alternate versions of "Funk in Deep Freeze" and "Wham and They're Off") are original Mobley compositions and show off his -- you guessed it -- underrated writing and arranging ability. "Wham and They're Off" is an aptly named piece, bouncing breezily out of the box in both versions, while "Base on Balls" is wonderfully lazy and laconic, unwinding into a perfectly loose and soulful jam for a long summer's day. "Funk in Deep Freeze," by the way, seems more frozen than it is funk, but it's still fun. The bottom line is that this is a superior quintet working effortlessly together, and Mobley's concisely measured, round sax tone binds everything into a beautifully nuanced set. Mobley might not have been out there pushing the envelope with his instrument, but here he plays with confidence and lyrical economy, making this easily one of his best outings. ~ Steve Leggett

Resources for Candle Makers
The term "candle making" can take on many meanings for our readers. For the beginner, candle making is taking a milk carton or extra container and pouring wax in it to make their own candle. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the large manufacturer that produces thousands of candles a day and, in some instances, employs thousands of employees. Most candlemakers are somewhere in between, and the needs for businesses vary greatly.Read More

So of all the suggestions for breaking up the Big Three of the Heat, you have to hand it to the parade route planner for being the most decisive, though derivative.
But LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh survived the attempted recreation of the giraffe-in-the-convertible scene from The Hangover Part III and now we're left with a summer of the NBA's most-asked question:
What's wrong with the Heat?
After all, it's been nearly a week since they won a game.
Never mind that it's the offseason. Facts and rationality never seem to enter the discussion when the topic is Miami basketball.
To twist an old saying: If it's not the Heat, it's the stupidity.
Remember, it was only days ago when everything that Pat Riley had built inside American Airlines Arena hung in the balance.
What if either Manu Ginobili or Kawhi Leonard had made one more free throw in the final 28 seconds of Game 6?
Then Ray Allen's back-away 3-pointer from the corner doesn't mean a thing. Then Game 7 isn't even played. Then Big Three get deep-sixed.
Really? Because of one free throw?
No less an accomplished playoff veteran than Magic Johnson was telling listeners on a conference call prior to Game 7: "I think we may see the end of this Big Three. I think that things will change, no matter what happens. Things have to change with that team, because everybody has caught up to them now."
So how come there weren't parades in San Antonio or Indianapolis or Memphis or New York or Oklahoma City or Los Angeles this week?
You can talk the talk about the Heat from now until Opening Night next season when another banner drops from the rafters and another set of gaudy rings is handed out. But until somebody can walk the walk and take Miami down at crunch time, it's all just blather.
It seems that the most consistent criticism of the Heat has two lines of attack:
— They don't win every game.
— I don't like LeBron.
Of the latter, if it stems from the silly made-for-TV show on ESPN, it was three years ago and it's time to get over it. Adam Sandler made Grown Ups that year, so it might not have been the worst decision of 2010.
If the complaint is a lack of victories, it might be time to put new batteries in the calculator.
In the three years since Miami's Big Three have been playing together, they have a combined 170-60 (.739) record in the regular season. That means they win three out of every four times they step onto the court. They won 27 consecutive games from Feb. 3 through Mar. 25 of this season, the second-longest streak in NBA history. They have made three straight trips to the NBA Finals, winning the last two.
Yes, there was that humbling defeat by the Mavericks in 2011, the first season that James, Wade and Bosh were wearing the same uniforms and trying to figure things out. Perhaps keep in mind that in the first season Michael Jordan played with Scottie Pippen (1988), the Bulls were knocked out of the playoffs in the second round and didn't even reach The Finals until year four.
Magic wants to blow up the Heat "no matter what happens," even though they went back-to-back. What about when the Lakers followed up their 1980 title in his rookie year by getting knocked out in the first round of the playoffs by a Houston team with 40-42 record? After winning in 1982, his Lakers were swept in The Finals by Philly in 1983. The Lakers dynasty did not repeat until 1987 and '88. The Larry Bird-Robert Parish-Kevin McHale Celtics never won two in a row. Tim Duncan's Spurs have won four championships, but none consecutively.
This is a bar that was set impossibly high for the Heat from the start and is constantly being raised.
There are, in fact, very few areas in which the Heat haven't delivered as hyped and promised, not the least of which has been making every stop in 28 other NBA arenas an event and every chapter of their three straight playoff marches must-see-TV.
Can anyone truthfully continue to hang LeBron with the old charge that he blinks in the spotlight? The times that the Heat have faced elimination in the last two playoffs, they are 5-0 and James has averages of 35.4 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists. Remember his 3-pointer that preceded Allen's 3?
The 31-year-old Wade has been written off like a bad debt over the past two years, but summons up big performances just when it looks like he is slipping over the edge.
Bosh will always be the third, lesser jewel in the chain, but he has made the biggest adjustment to make it all work and did get the critical rebound and make the pass to Allen in the corner.
Coach Erik Spoelstra has made the climb with them, rising from youthful caretaker to battle-tested leader who pushes the right buttons with the lineups and navigates the always roiling waters of great expectation. There are no more gaps in his pedigree.
Any one of the Big Three can bolt next summer, according to their contracts and then everything changes. That's a whole year away.
For now, this is a team precisely as Riley dared envision it three summers ago — bold, entertaining, accomplished.
So what's wrong with the Heat?
Only that we haven't seen them play in nearly a week and are already missing them.

A large number of young men and women who appear to be healthy and not overweight already have hardened blood vessels, putting them at risk of heart disease, a new study finds.
Canadian researchers studying normal weight and apparently healthy young people found that almost half already had atherosclerosis, a condition in which the arteries become clogged with fatty plaque deposits.
The condition, typically found in older adults with obesity, high cholesterol or diabetes, can eventually lead to heart disease or stroke. But this study, presented at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress in Vancouver, found it in apparently healthy young adults too.
The researchers, led by Dr. Eric Larose, an interventional cardiologist at the Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec, say their study is more evidence that young people are not immune to heart disease.
"They need to realize even if though they are young, apparently healthy and not obese, they can still develop premature atherosclerosis," Larose tells CTV News.
The study focused on 168 young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 who had no known heart disease risk factors, such as diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or a family history of premature heart disease. None were clinically obese and all had a body mass index below 30.
The researchers measured the volunteers' waists. They also used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure various body fat deposits, including subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin that can be measured by pinching it with calipers) as well as intra-abdominal fat, which is also known as "visceral" fat. Finally, they used MRI to look for signs of atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries in the neck.
"What we found, which was very surprising, is that 48 per cent of these apparently healthy, young adults already had atherosclerosis that could be identified through magnetic resonance imaging," Larose said.
The MRI scans also showed hidden fat deposits inside many of these seemingly thin people. It's thought that this fat leads to the atherosclerosis.
"This visceral fat produces a plethora of toxic substances which will damage the vessel wall," says Larose.
As for why apparently healthy young adults are developing atherosclerosis, Larose suspects it's about unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.
He says the study's findings are a reminder that even young adults who appear healthy by the usual measurements can still have atherosclerosis.
"So this is really a message of prevention where the younger adults need to be very careful about what they eat and how they exercise," he says.
The researchers add that while it's not feasible to screen all young adults for atherosclerosis with MRI imaging, they found that measuring waist circumference at the doctor's office is just as effective.
An enlarged waist circumference was predictive of increased visceral adiposity and of premature atherosclerosis. In fact, it was almost as precise as by MRI.
He added that it's unfortunate that more doctors are not making use of this simple measure.

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Entering a team in Australia's Baseball League by 2014 and building a permanent facility was now in the sights of Baseball New Zealand after their credible performance at last month's World Baseball Classic qualifying tournament, according to the sport's chief executive.
The Diamondblacks, a team of locals, expatriates and North Americans with New Zealand heritage, made the final of the four-team tournament but were beaten by seventh-ranked Taiwan 9-0.
New Zealand had been unranked prior to the tournament, but after a 12-2 win over Thailand and 10-6 over the Philippines they were given a world ranking of 29 by baseball authorities, something that Ryan Flynn said had vindicated their leap of faith in inviting the team to the tournament.
"They took a gamble," Flynn told Reuters in a telephone interview from Auckland. "We were unranked. We came out of nowhere but ... they trusted we could put a team on the field that would represent the tournament, country and global baseball and we did.
"I think everybody around the world is quite pleased with jumping up to 29 in the world."
The two losses to Taiwan, 10-0 in pool play and then 9-0 in the final, had been a lot closer than the scorelines suggested Flynn said, with the Taiwanese scoring eight runs in the fifth innings of the first game and six in the fourth innings of the final.
"Taiwan are one of the true super powers of the sport, and we matched them for half of two games before our inexperience and lack of depth showed through.
"But I (have never been) as proud of a group of men in my life. Our staff, and coaches were world class and our players believed they could play with anyone in the world and used it to showcase their talent."
The impact of the qualifying tournament had been even more far reaching for the sport that struggles for attention in rugby-mad New Zealand.
People in the United States had "come out of the woodwork" asking Flynn if he wanted help with coaching and development, while the ABL were receptive to allowing an Auckland-based team to enter their competition.
"There is talk that our performance will speed up that process to have a franchise in Auckland," he said.
"I would say (by) 2014 at the latest. I used to say at the earliest but we have momentum that we do not want to let die."
The ABL currently has six teams, with Major League Baseball contributing about $3.2 million a year to offset operational costs and the cross-Tasman leagues in other sports that already operated were successful models they could emulate, he said.
New Zealand-based teams play in Australian's National Rugby League, A-League soccer competition and Australian Basketball League, while a joint netball competition also operates.
"The model is there (and) ...we think out of the gate we would be one of the best supported teams in the league.
"We would also have an advantage in that we would have just one team that makes it easier for us to coalesce talent, resources and sponsors."
The second priority for BNZ was to find a permanent, purpose-built venue that would house the potential ABL team, host international games and provide training and conditioning facilities.
The organization was looking at three possible sites for the facility already, which could cost between NZ$3-$5 million ($2.46-$4.1 million) to construct.
Once a team was established and it was attracting regular revenues, a bigger facility could be in the pipeline within three to five years, Flynn said.
"We'd like to get to a NZ$12 to NZ$15 million facility, which isn't Yankee Stadium but it's enough to scale up for bigger tournaments, host international teams, maybe even host the next WBC qualifier here.
"We believe Major League Baseball will help with their Baseball Tomorrow Fund in helping to build a stadium.
"That will be pretty crucial for this country to see a stadium. It's important for that to happen."

I have got Ultegras. They are fantastic. Quite a lot less for a similar pedal and have lasted with never a problem. These Dura Ace are just a dream which I cannot afford!!
I would have to sneak them on the credit card!. Don't tell the wife!
Shimano's top-level road pedal has been redesigned, retaining the go-on-forever internals of previous Dura-Ace incarnations but now coming with a carbon composite body that lowers the weight... and raises the price.
The pedal body is 63mm wide, which is exactly the same width as Look Keo Carbon Blades (£274.99 with titanium axle, £179.99 with cro-mo axle), so you get a shed-load of stability. Your cleats just don't rock on these pedals; it's an absolutely rock-solid platform (as is the Look design).
As for the durability, I've been running these for a few months now and they're still looking absolutely mint, so I don't see any reason why they shouldn't provide as much service as their predecessors. That means you'll get several years of use if you treat them nicely.
Clipping into the pedal is as easy as ever. As long as you get your foot vaguely in the right area and push, the pedal does the rest and an audible click lets you know your cleat has engaged. Once clipped in, your cleat will never come out accidentally if you have the tension adjustment bolts wound in tight. The retention springs are hidden away from the elements inside a little cover, and those adjustment bolts have diddy gauges that allow you to set them equally with the minimum of fuss.
The pedal body spins beautifully on its bearings. There are two ball bearings around the strong steel axle along with a wide roller bearing, and it's simple to open the pedals up for greasing and adjustment, even if you don't have much workshop experience. You won't need to do that often, but giving the pedals the once over from time to time will keep them smooth and extend their life. Do that and they'll go on and on.
The SPD-SL cleats you get in the box have 6 degrees of float - meaning that you can pivot your foot 3 degreees in either direction before becoming unclipped. I've always found that to be plenty for keeping the old knees happy although, of course, you might be different. Replacements cleats, including a fixed (no float) version, cost £19.99, which is the same as Look's.
You couldn't describe walking in the cleats as a whole lot of fun but they provide a decent middle ground between grip and durability. You certainly feel a lot less precarious clacking across damp roads in these than in many other cleats.
For all the weight weenies out there, my pedals hit the scales at 250g the pair. That compares to 190g for a pair of Look Keo Blade Carbon pedals. Bear in mind, though, that the extra weight gives you tension adjustment on the retention mechanism. The Shimano pedals are also £55 cheaper. Look's £130.99 Keo Carbons (with coil spring retention rather than the carbon leaf spring you get on the Blades) are also a little lighter at 230g (manufacturer's claimed weight).
In terms of function, these are great. They're super-stable, reasonably lightweight and durable. The only sticking point is the price. Okay, they are cheaper than Look's top-level pedals, but you can get a set of alloy-bodied Ultegras, which are almost as good and weigh just 60g more, for £99.99. So if you're looking for value, you might want to drop down a tier.
Super-stable, reasonably lightweight and easy to use, and they'll last you years, but the price is high

road.cc test report
Make and model: Shimano Dura-Ace pedals
Size tested: One style
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Shimano list these features:
Super lightweight carbon SPD-SL road pedal for high performance road racing
Lightweight carbon body provides large shoe contact area to maximise power transfer and support whilst reducing weight
The wide flat profile gives better road clearance and cornering, also allowing wider bearing placement for increased rigidity and uniform load distribution
Silky smooth 3-bearing axle system, two ball- and one wide roller-bearing
Stainless steel pedal body plate for increased durability
Open design allows for easy access and cleat adjustments
Wider shoe cleat has a long life and is easier for walking than other cleats
Large binding target allows quick engagement while wide cleats provides more efficient pedalling
Two types of shoe cleats available: fixed, or 3 degrees of float in each direction
It's not 'comfort' as such, but these score highly for stability which is kind of related in that it's how they feel
The price is high compared to other SPD-SL pedals in the range. Okay, these are the best road pedals Shimano make, but the leap from Ultegras in terms of performance is not that far considering the price gap.
To be fair, most of the other manufacturers follow a similar price structure, with their top-tier model much more expensive than the others for a comparatively small step-up in performance.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Perhaps
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes, but I'd suggest Ultegras for better value
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
Price apart, these are a 9. With the price considered, you might argue that the score should come down to an 8. It depends on your priorities

the Ultegras are to expensive for me :''(... i use the 105s and R540s, can't fault them... although the r540 needs to be much "tighter" for the same tension. at lower tensions the r540s slip alot for me, don't know if thats down to my style though...
Rob - can i have your ultegras in exchange for my silence...

UPDATE: President Obama has apologized to California Attorney General Kamala Harris for comments he made complimenting her appearance and for "the distraction" the subsequent controversy caused. White House press secretary Jay Carney said during his briefing this afternoon that Obama called his fellow Democrat to express his regrets for referring to her as the best-looking attorney general in the U.S.
"(Obama) did not want in any way to diminish the attorney general's professional accomplishments and her capabilities," Carney said. "He fully recognizes the challenges women continue to face in the workplace and that they should not be judged based on appearance."
This report was written by our San Francisco Chronicle colleague Drew Joseph with additional reporting by Rick Dunham in Washington.
Instead of leaving the Bay Area Thursday after what would have normally been a quiet two-day fundraising trip, President Obama faced some criticism for calling California's Kamala Harris "the best-looking attorney general in the country."
Obama's comments came at the second of two fundraisers in Atherton Thursday and began with praise for Harris's performance as attorney general.
"You have to be careful to, first of all, say she is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law and making sure that everybody is getting a fair shake," Obama said at the home of John Goldman, an heir to the Levi-Strauss fortune.. "She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country."
"It's true! C'mon," Obama said as the crowd laughed, according to the White House press pool report filed by an independent reporter.
Reacting to news reports of the event, some critics labeled the remarks insulting. "Obama in need of gender-sensitivity training," read one blog from New York magazine.
The reactions took place mostly on Twitter and on blogs, and many commentators took the comment as an opportunity to joke about who they believe are the most attractive attorneys general.
Indeed, Texas' own Greg Abbott placed number three in Buzzfeed's tongue-in-cheek list of "hottest" attorneys general. Number one on the list was Delaware's Beau Biden, followed by Kentucky's Jack Conway.
Abbott responded to the "honor" with a sense of humor.
@hcookaustin @rickdunham @rosiegray–I was beat by 2 Democrats. Told you we need Voter ID.
— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) April 4, 2013
The Atherton fundraisers benefited the Democratic National Committee. They followed two fundraising events in San Francisco for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, at which he emphasized his goal to return House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco to the speakership.
In his remarks, Obama highlighted the legacy he hopes to leave after his second term, saying he wanted to improve the economy for the middle class, address climate change and push for gay rights.
He also said he hopes to see immigration reform and new gun-control laws enacted, but that Americans will have to mobilize for such initiatives if the gridlocked Congress is to act.
But the most memorable part of the trip will be his sexist slip and the mini-backlash from the left. ABC News even recalled this past misstep:
The president came under some fire back in 2008 when he referred to a female reporter as "sweetie" and told her to hold a question for a press availability.
Here's a full report from ABC:

NCAA Tournament 2013 West Region — Day 3
Things didn't exactly go to form on the first day West Region of the NCAA Tournament, so the third round may see a Cinderella emerge.
Harvard, fresh off its first win in tournament history over New Mexico, could not keep its momentum going when against Arizona. Top-seeded Gonzaga, which got the scare of its life in a squeaker over Southern, lost to a Wichita State team that won an offensive struggle against Pittsburgh.
All start times approximate. All times Eastern:
(9) Wichita State 76, (1) Gonzaga 70
Cleanthony Early scored 16 points, including several clutch 3-point shots, and ninth-seeded Wichita State upset top-seeded Gonzaga, 76-70, in a third round game of the 2013 NCAA tournament's West Region in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday. Ron Baker added 16 points for the Shockers, who made 14 of 27 three-point shot attempts on the night. Wichita State had a sizable lead, before Gonzaga rallied late. The teams twice traded 3-point baskets with under four minutes remaining. The Shockers held on for the win, becoming the first team to knock off a No. 1 seed in this year's tournament. Wichita State advanced to the round of 16 in Los Angeles on Thursday. Kelly Olynyk had 26 points and nine rebounds for the Bulldogs, while teammate Kevin Pangos scored 19 points.
(6) Arizona 74, (14) Harvard 51
Mark Lyons scored 27 points, and sixth-seeded Arizona routed 14th-seeded Harvard, 74-51, in a third round game of the 2013 NCAA tournament's West Region in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday. Arizona jumped out to a 17-2 run to start the game and never looked back. The Wildcats advanced to the round of 16 in Los Angeles on Thursday. Kenyatta Smith scored 10 points to lead Harvard, which was unable to duplicate the performance that allowed them to upset New Mexico on Thursday. The Crimson shot just 28 percent from the field in the loss to Arizona.
