VIDEO: Nets hang on against Raptors in Game 7
TORONTO — Basketball can be a game of inches too.
The difference in the first round series between the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors was the length of Paul Pierce's fingers, which reached up and blocked Kyle Lowry's shot as time expired in Game 7, sending Brooklyn to the conference semifinals with a nail-biting 104-103 victory.
Lowry had somehow squeezed between Deron Williams, Alan Anderson and Kevin Garnett, losing the ball on one side of the triple-team and recovering it on the other. With all the defense's attention on him, he had somehow willed his way to the basket one final time.
"That young man," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said, "did everything he could to get to the basket."
But …
"Sometimes, it's about being at the right place," Pierce said afterward, "at the right time."
The cumulative score in 11 total games (regular season and playoffs) between these two teams was 1,070-1,070. It really doesn't get any closer than that. Eight of the 11 games were within three points in the final three minutes. And the team that got its first Game 7 win since the Nets came to the NBA in 1976 was the team that barely hung on.
The Nets' offense had been rolling through the Raptors over the last 2 1/2 games. They led by 11 early in the fourth quarter and by nine with less that four minutes to go. But they couldn't stop the Raptors' offense, which scored 30 points in the final period.
"We were right there," Casey said.
Lowry was attacking. DeMar DeRozan was making something out of nothing. Patrick Patterson was rolling to the basket. The Nets committed a couple of dumb fouls and just couldn't get a stop … until they absolutely had to.
"We might have bent a little bit," Nets coach Jason Kidd said, "but we didn't break."
It took every last inch for the veteran team with the big names and the largest payroll in NBA history to get past the young guns who had never been here before. The Nets knew how hard it was and how good the Raptors are. Toronto's division title was no fluke.
"This was a very difficult series," Garnett said. "It tested everybody's will here. If anything, I think we grew up a bit during this series."
That says a lot about the Raptors, who face some questions this summer. The contracts of their coach (Casey) and best player (Lowry) expire at the end of June. But if those two guys are back, Toronto will be back in the playoffs, with an incredible crowd on their side again.
"This is one of the best environments in basketball," Pierce said of the Air Canada Centre, "as far as the road crowd, the noise, the enthusiasm. This is as tough as it's going to get. And to come in here in this type of building, the way they play and the way the crowd is, it's so gratifying."
The Raptors had the crowd, but the Nets had the matchups. And that's more important in a playoff series. The Raptors just had no answer for Joe Johnson, who scored 26 points in the deciding game, half of them in the fourth quarter, repeatedly going one-on-one with whomever the Raptors threw at him.
In the fourth, that list included point guards (Greivis Vasquez) and big men (Patterson). Brooklyn's final field goal of the series was a ridiculously tough runner by Johnson (against Terrence Ross) that gave them a seven-point lead with just over two minutes to go. Johnson played more than 45 minutes (a season-high for a regulation game) on Sunday, and the Nets needed all of it.
"For us to post him every time down, get him the ball where he's the focal point, for him to make plays," Kidd said, "he's as good as they come down the stretch."
The Nets played through Johnson all series, something that will be more difficult to do against the Miami Heat, who are bigger on the wings, in the conference semifinals, which begin Tuesday in Miami.
After grinding through a series that went down to the final play of Game 7, Brooklyn has just 48 hours to prepare for the defending champs. The Nets went 4-0 against the Heat in the regular season, but know that doesn't matter now.
"We know we can beat them," Johnson said. "But it's going to be a lot different from the regular season."
The Nets can take something on these last seven games, where it took every basket and every stop to separate them from the Raptors by the thinnest of margins. But it's already time to move on.
The champs are waiting.

Sept. 26, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The No. 3 Bulldog sailors will compete across New England on Saturday and Sunday at a variety of venues featuring shifty winds. The Bulldogs will compete at Tufts in the Hood Trophy, at the 11th Chris Loder Trophy at New Hampshire and at two events hosted by Boston College.
The Hood Trophy was one strong part of the Bulldog's fall 2007 season. The Bulldogs placed third behind host Tufts in first and Boston College in second. Junior Thomas Barrows led the way in 2007 with a strong second-place finish in A Division while junior John Kempton contributed a sixth-place finish in B Division.
Competing at Tufts is a unique experience. The sailors will race in Larks, a double handed boat that is primarily only raced in regattas hosted by Tufts. As well, the Mystic Lake venue is known for extremely shifty winds that are very hard to predict. As a result, a main focus during the regatta will be on simply sailing consistently. Junior Thomas Barrows will again lead the Bulldogs in A Division while freshman Joseph Morris will skipper for the Bulldogs in B Division.
The Bulldogs will also compete at the 11th Loder Trophy at New Hampshire's Endum Pond venue. The Bulldogs finished in sixth at the event in 2007, behind a second-place finish in A Division. The Bulldogs placed 10th in B Division. In 2006, the Bulldogs put in a strong performance for a second-place finish. The sailors will sail FJs at the historically light and shifty Endum Pond venue. Freshmen Cameron Cullman and senior Caleb Dorfman will skipper for the Bulldogs at the event.
The Bulldogs will also send a squad to compete at the Team Racing Series On event on Saturday and an Invite on Sunday, both of which will be held at Boston College. The Boston College venue is known as an open water venue that can feature waves and strong wind like the Bulldogs home site. Sophomore Andrew Kurzrok and freshmen Rob Struckett and Genoa Warner will skipper for the Bulldogs.

What are tags and how do I use them?
Tags let you assign keywords to your blog entries that are meaningful to you. Tags provide a useful way to categorize your blog or blog entries and search for blogs or blog entries that are of interest to you. Use the tag cloud to view all tags assigned to blog entries in the list, to determine the popularity of a tag, and to access blog entries associated with a tag.
Before you begin
Tags provide a means of classifying and retrieving content in a way that is meaningful to you. Tags are single words, or multiple words connected with hyphens or underscores. For example, social-bookmarking, status_reports, and payroll are all valid tags.
You can choose how the tags in a tag collection are displayed – either in a list or in a cloud. A tag list displays the tags in a list starting with the most popular tags at the beginning. A tag cloud visualizes the popularity of the tags in the collection by grouping the tags together and displaying the most frequently used tags in larger, darker text and less often used tags in smaller, lighter text. The tag list displays the ten most popular tags only. The tag cloud displays a larger set of the most popular tags, but is limited in the number of tags it can display.
If you are looking for a tag that is not displayed in the collection, search for it by clicking Find a Tag, entering the tag name in the search field, and then clicking the search icon. To find a blog or entry by tag, click a tag from the tag collection. This limits the number of blogs or entries that are displayed to include only those that have the selected tag associated with them. To narrow down the list even further, click another tag. This action filters the list of activities or entries that are displayed to include only those that have both tags associated with them.
You can view tags in a list or in a cloud. Click List or Cloud at the end of the tag area to switch the display. When you view a tag cloud, note that tags are presented in various sizes and colors. The most popular tags are darker and larger than other tags. The slider controls whether all tags display in the cloud or just the more frequently used tags.

Graham flour pie crust
Just curious...has anyone ever tried to make a pie crust using a good proportion of Graham flour? I'm well-aware of the millions of recipes for making pie-crusts using "Graham crackers", but here in Japan, that's really a major expense. Making my own Graham crackers, first, would be many times cheaper than buying them, but that's going to take so much time that the over-priced crackers (over US $8:00 per box!) might be a bargain, if they were readily available...
I tried a google "advanced search" for graham flour pie crusts with "graham cracker" excluded and, on the entire English-language part of the internet, there were no results...
Can anyone steer me to the right information, or do I have to invent this recipe for myself?
Any insights would be much appreciated!

Summer Is Finally Here for the UAF Community Garden
Folks in the UAF Campus Community Garden happily welcome the warm weather and sunshine. The cooler, wetter weather early this summer set back blooming across the Interior, but now in the hot days of August, the Community Garden buzzes with energy and activity. Walk by the garden on the bridge and you will see one hundred raised bed plots filled with thousands of vibrant blooms on organic veggies ranging from Alaskan potatoes to tomatillos, from snap peas to zucchinis to strawberries, and everything in between. And then there are the poppies, the sunflowers and little marigold plants that help provide natural forms of pest deterrent. The garden is in full swing!
Despite the swampy weather, this summer has proved an exciting year for the garden. All of the plots were filled by over sixty six individual gardeners and their families. In addition, The Alaska Summer Research Academy uses plots at the garden to give Fairbanks high-schoolers an introduction to growing plants. UAF Office of Sustainability grows tomatoes, cabbages, peppers, lettuce, carrots and pak choy to sell at the Nanook Grown Market on Thursdays throughout the summer. To support all of its activity, community garden volunteers helped to install a watering system earlier this spring. The new system runs the length of the garden and allows gardeners to water more efficiently with hoses, instead of hauling buckets and watering cans.
The space has also proved a prime location for bringing people together – people who love soil. Gardeners are quick to share information, trade seeds and give out gardening advice. The Community Garden invited local Master Gardeners to the garden mid-July to teach about adding organic nutrients, understanding crop maintenance, and natural forms of pest control.
Harvest time is just around the corner and gardeners will soon be busy collecting tomatoes and digging up carrots, potatoes and onions to store for winter. The Campus Community Garden is living evidence that for healthy, fresh, local Alaskan produce, we need not look further than our own campus backyard.

New Law Could See Parents Charged For Changing Baby's Nappy
A ruling by the Supreme Court could see parents charged with sexual abuse just for changing their child's nappy.
The decision, made by the state of Arizona recently, interprets any contact between an adult and a child's genitals to be a criminal offence, according to The Irish Independent.
An examination of the state's law was prompted by an appeal lodged by a man who had been convicted for sexually molesting his step-daughter; the new ruling now classes child sex abuse as "intentionally or knowingly engaging in or causing a person to engage in sexual contact, except sexual contact with the female breast, with a child who is under 15 years of age."
"The statute says 'intentionally or knowingly' having sexual contact," explained legal analyst Monica Lindstrom. "Sexual contact is just the direct or indirect touching of the genitals.
"That is where the changing of the diaper could come into play."
While the decision comes with the disclaimer that: "Prosecutors are unlikely to charge parents, physicians and the like when the evidence demonstrates the presence of an affirmative defense", some judges have already flagged their concerns.
"Parents and other caregivers who have changed an infant's soiled diaper or bathed a toddler will be surprised to learn that they have committed a class 2 or 3 felony."

More and more people are realising the advantages of making their own investment decisions and taking control of their retirement strategy.
An increasingly popular way of doing this is by setting up a self managed superannuation fund (SMSF).
An SMSF gives members of the fund control over specific investment choices involving their superannuation. They can tailor their own investment strategies and select specific assets such as listed securities, managed investments, cash and term deposits, international equities, instalment warrants and so on.
Morgans offers a variety of services for SMSFs, including structure, setup, advice, rollovers, investments, administration and compliance.
We have investment advisers who specialise in superannuation and a technical research team that provides updates and support on the latest in superannuation developments.
Our Wealth+ SMSF Solution is an all-encompassing investment administration and SMSF administration service that allows you to take advantage of the flexibility and control of an SMSF, but outsource the work involved in establishing and running your fund.
Your SMSF investments are managed through our Wealth+ Managed Portfolio Service, which provides you with comprehensive reporting on your fund portfolio and investments, in addition to your annual member statement.
Clients and their accountants can benefit from our Wealth+ Managed Portfolio Service, which is a reporting facility that we offer for investment administration. This service makes investing easier by collecting and recording all investment information/documentation, however SMSF trustees will need to arrange annual administration of the SMSF using an accountant or administrator.
Our SMSF administration only service provides fund administration without the portfolio administration. Please contact us or your Morgans adviser to find out more.
If you would like to find out more before contacting one of our advisers, the Morgans technical research team has produced An essential guide to taking control of your super, which provides further detail on SMSFs.

Must See Art: FAILE: Savage/Sacred Young Minds at Brooklyn Museum
Photos by G. Art by FAILE (& BAST).
Thank the lord for mind-blowing art exhibits. The Brooklyn Museum has one that is sure to make your head explode. It is by street artists FAILE (and BAST) and it's called "Savage/Sacred Young Minds." It consists of 3 parts: canvases by FAILE, the Deluxx Fluxx Arcade (with BAST) and Temple. I'll quickly take you through each one.
If you live in New York, you've surely seen FAILE's art on the streets (and they've put it up in many other cities in the world). The above picture is not a great representation, but if you look closely at their works (use Google!), there are so many things going on in each painting. Intricate phrases, imagery and other worlds exist in each work and you could spend hours looking at just one painting without getting bored.
Next is the Deluxx Fluxx Arcade. A literal arcade with Faile/Bast art lining the walls, so with that alone, you could be in there for days just staring at all the millions of things going on in each work, but if there were "only" all that going on, it wouldn't be enough. So add to that, about 30 video game machines that also feature the art of Faile/Bast that are fully playable, and rather than just being normal arcade games, they are all one of a kind games featuring their art. Once again, it would be really cool if the arcade stopped there, but alas, you go into the next room which is bathed in black light!
If your head hasn't exploded by the time you reach this room, I don't think we can be friends!
So after you've picked your brain up off the floor from exploding, this exhibit is not done yet!
Finally, a temple in ruins, entitled "Temple," is housed in an atrium of the museum and like everything you've seen in the exhibit, there's a million things going on.
These pictures don't do this art justice, so make sure you head down to the Brooklyn Museum to see this amazing exhibit. FAILE: Savage/Sacred Young Minds runs through October 4, 2015 and should not be missed! Click here for more information.

Keith Price eager to bounce back in his senior year at UW
After some offseason "soul searching," as he describes it, Keith Price insists the pain is gone — all of it. And starting Monday, when UW opens fall camp to kick off the fifth season of the Steve Sarkisian era, Price is eager to convince everyone that things will be better for the
Seattle Times staff reporter
Key dates
2013 UW football
Monday: Fall camp begins
Aug. 31: Season opener, debut of new Husky Stadium, vs. Boise State, 7 p.m., Fox Sports 1
Sept. 28: First Pac-12 game, Arizona at UW
Nov. 29: Apple Cup, WSU at UW, 12:30 p.m.
Is it too early to start wondering if 2011 Price was a total fluke? — purpleblood, Oct. 7, 2012
Keith Price is obviously in over his head. — johnny u. hi-tops, Oct. 21, 2012
Well at least 2013 will be Price's last year. — Falcon04, Dec. 22, 2012
When things got really ugly, when the anonymous, online hits flattened her son as hard as the on-the-field hits, Shaundra Price's gut reaction was to pound back — to grab the keyboard and stick up for her son when it felt like no one else would.
Her son, inevitably, would talk her down from the edge of cyber-sanity. Don't read the comments, Mom. Just stay away from the blogs.
He convinced her it would get better.
It was, in fact, a two-way street of support. When Keith Price struggled in 2012, when the opportunities kept slipping away like a small piece of ice from a large hand, the Washington quarterback would turn to his family, to his mom. She calmed him, no doubt, as much as he calmed her through another 7-6 season.
"It was hard to watch him be hard on himself and be sad," Shaundra Price says. "When your kids hurt, you hurt. I felt his pain out there."
After some offseason "soul searching," as he describes it, Keith Price insists the pain is gone — all of it. And starting Monday, when UW opens fall camp to kick off the fifth season of the Steve Sarkisian era, Price is eager to convince everyone that things will be better for the Huskies in 2013.
"We're going to fire," he tells his mom.
Building trust
Price's last pass of 2012 was intercepted in the final seconds of the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, ending the Huskies' comeback bid in a 28-26 loss to Boise State. That left UW with a 7-6 record for a third consecutive season and left the typically easygoing Price humbled and frustrated.
In the minutes after the loss, Price didn't want to get up from his locker.
A few days later, back home in Compton, Calif., for Christmas, he asked his family not to talk about football.
"I felt terrible," he said. "Even after the Vegas game, I stayed tucked in my locker. I couldn't believe what just happened.
"I prepared so hard and worked so hard. Why am I not getting the results that I felt like I rightfully deserved? But I felt like it was in God's plan and it was just the next step in me being a leader. 'OK, (in 2011) you produce, but were you really a leader?' And now, 'Hey, you're not producing, let's see what kind of leader you can be.' You know what I mean? It was a big step. Definitely some soul-searching. Definitely."
Price had burst onto the scene as a sophomore in 2011, throwing for a school-record 33 touchdowns against 11 interceptions in his first season as the Huskies' starter. Expectations heightened, but the numbers dropped dramatically last season, when he threw 19 touchdown passes and was intercepted 13 times.
Worse, he threw untimely interceptions late in losses to Washington State and Boise State to close out the season, prompting some to vent their frustrations about him on message boards and blogs.
Playing behind an injury-riddled offensive line that allowed 38 sacks — more than all but 10 teams in the country — Price appeared to be in a constant state of scramble. A "dual-threat" quarterback, Price finished the season with a net of minus-34 yards rushing.
It was, however, a deeper duality that emerged within Price: As a leader, he felt it was his responsibility to take the blame after tough losses — "That's just me, man," he said — and yet, when it mattered most, the veteran quarterback was often hesitant to put his faith in those teammates he was supposed to be leading.
He eventually came to that honest realization.
"I didn't trust the guys around me," he said. "I didn't trust the calls. I didn't trust myself and my preparation."
Building strength
In the spring, when there were questions about Price's job security, the fifth-year senior reestablished himself as the starter and, he said, rebuilt his faith in others.
Price spoke recently about how pleasantly surprised he was with the development of new center Mike Criste in the spring, and he was giddy when talking about some of the freshmen receivers who arrived on campus this summer.
The words, Price knows, are easy to say. The hard part is the work: the weightlifting and the conditioning and the repeated route-running in the dog days of summer. Price said he has seen it during voluntary drills this offseason, and he sees reason to believe in his teammates — and, just as important, for others to believe in him again.
"Guys are working hard — real hard. As hard as I've seen," Price said.
Finally healthy, and having earned his bachelor's degree in American ethnic studies, the quarterback is back to a full regimen of workouts and weightlifting, particularly with his lower half. He insists the knee injuries that hampered him the past two seasons are not an issue.
"I'm 100 percent. I'm running around, I'm doing all the explosive lifts I haven't done in two seasons," he said. "I'm doing everything that the team is doing; I'm not being held out at all. I'm completely healthy."
Shaundra Price wanted more reassurance recently, so she pointedly asked her son about his past injuries.
"Be truthful," she recalled asking him, "do you have any pain anywhere? And he said, 'Mom, I'm telling you, I'm 100 percent.' And I believe him, because last year he was telling me he couldn't do some of the things the rest of the team was doing. But now he feels more comfortable that he can use his legs again. Last year, he couldn't do that."
In another way, it does feel like 2011 again for Price. When he succeeded Jake Locker two years ago, he sensed the uncertainty among many outside the program. He senses it again now, and knows he has something to prove.
"People have those same kind of questions," he said. "It's a little different, but I know how to handle it and I feel like that's when I'm at my best.
"I believe," he added, "I'll be better than I was in 2011."
Mom is convinced.
Soon enough, the quarterback is confident others will be, too.
|Keith Price, by the numbers
|Washington's senior quarterback Keith Price needs just one more touchdown pass to tie Cody Pickett for the school record. Price threw 33 TD passes as a sophomore but slumped last year, with his passer efficiency rating dropping from 161.9 as a sophomore to 122.4 as a junior.

Earlier this week I saw my first praying mantis in the North Campus! I was walking back from lunch at USC and there she was right in front of me on the path.
Female Mediterranean Mantid, Iris oratoria, running for coverI knew she was a female because of her enlarged abdomen, males have much narrower abdomens and also longer wings. As I got really close to her to capture this picture, she went into her defensive posture. She reared up on her hind legs, extended her raptorial (modified for capturing prey) front legs, and flashed her brightly patterned black and yellow hind wings. She stayed in this posture for about 15 seconds and then ran for cover in the plantings. Hopefully she'll lay an egg case and we'll have baby mantids in the spring!

Jewish World Review Feb. 6, 2013/ 26 Shevat, 5773
Ed Koch's lucky corner
By Roger Simon
"Good morning," Ed Koch booms to the knot of reporters that soon surrounds him and then begins without preamble: "I don't make predictions. I hope Al Gore does well; I put my trust in G0D. I don't know whether G0D is watching or not."
But if G0D is not watching New York, He is the only one who isn't.
It is 1988, and a few weeks earlier Jesse Jackson had won the Michigan primary. The panjandrums of the Democratic Party are in full panic. Who is going to stop Jackson? Michael Dukakis, whose campaign seems to be flabby and floundering, appears unable to do the job.
A Great White Hope is needed. Al Gore steps forward.
"I am dismayed by Jackson's embrace of Yasser Arafat," Gore tells Jewish leaders in New York City. "I categorically deny (Jackson's) notion that there's a moral equivalence between Israel and the PLO. In a Gore administration, no one will have reason to doubt America's commitment to the survival and security of Israel."
This goes over very well in New York City. And afterward, Gore, a southern Baptist whose favorite Shakespeare play is "The Merchant of Venice," joins the Jewish leaders at a kosher deli for lunch. The Gore campaign announces that Gore has "pulled off the gloves to challenge front-runner Jesse Jackson."
The next day, April 1, Ed Koch says Jews "would have to be crazy to vote for Jackson." The stage is set. Koch endorses Gore, the man who has the guts to kick Jesse Jackson in his tuchus (arse).
Now, on the day before the New York primary, Koch goes to 77th and Lex to show Gore how it's done, to show him how you win New York.
"I had a stroke," Koch, 63, says apropos of nothing, "and Mother Teresa prayed for me. And I'm Jewish! This is my lucky corner, you know. I've run 24 times, congressman and city council, mayor. And I come here at 7 a.m. and stand here until 8 p.m. on Election Day. I had a stroke, but I walk. I dance. I talk." He does a sprightly little walk, back and forth, pumping his elbows. "See? No paralysis."
The words gush forth from his mouth in a torrent. Thus far, he has not been asked a single question by reporters. But somehow question-and-response seem unnecessary for Koch, who is willing to provide not only the answers but also the questions.
"I am most vociferous in my criticism of Jesse Jackson," Koch goes on, "but none of my attacks have been disputed. Some people don't want the truth. You criticize a black, and you're called a racist." He shrugs. Go figure.
During an uncharacteristic pause, I wedge in a question. Hasn't the New York primary been divisive and hate-filled? I ask for a book I am doing (and from which this column is taken).
Koch screws up his face. "Oh, please," he says. "Puh-leeze. I don't see that at all."
"Lemme tell you," Koch continues. "Al Gore has the potential for greatness that Jack Kennedy had."
Al Gore? Who's he? Where's he? Oh, you mean the silent guy in the suit over there looking like the second wheel on a unicycle? The guy running for president but unable to get a word in edgewise because the mayor of New York will not shut up? Yeah, that guy.
"Dukakis is ... acceptable," Koch says through pursed lips, again in response to no question. "Acceptable. But he ..." Koch points to Gore. "He has the potential for greatness."
The "he," Gore, brightens at the mention of his name and takes a half-step forward like an actor who has been waiting in the wings and has finally heard his cue.
"He took me to deli on the Lower East Side," Gore begins. "And we had pickles. Different kinds of pickles. They were called, uh ... uh ..."
"Sours and half-sours," Koch says and then winks at the reporters as if to say: Goyim. What can you do?
"Right, right," Gore says. "I liked the half-sours better than the sours."
This being New York, where anything can happen and does on a daily basis, McGeorge Bundy, one of John Kennedy's best and brightest, and now a professor of history at New York University, innocently walks by on his way down into the subway.
Koch grabs him and demands a vote for Gore.
"I'm from Massachusetts," Bundy says, apologetically. In other words, he's for Dukakis.
Koch turns his back on him. "So? We can lose one vote," he says.
They will end up losing more than one. Dukakis will take New York by 51 percent, Jackson will get 37 percent (winning New York City in the process), and Gore will get 10 percent. But in the preceding week, Gore secretly has been calling Jesse Jackson at night and apologizing for Koch. Jackson is mollified. Gore has shown respect.
Koch is unrepentant. "You cannot show me a single sentence that wasn't legitimate and truthful," he tells reporters. And then he has a rare moment of introspection.
"Maybe I would package it better," he says.
Ed Koch died Friday at age 88. His funeral was held Monday. Some are trying to have the corner at 77th and Lexington named for him. Famous political leaders said fine things about him.
Understandably, but uncharacteristically, Ed Koch was silent.

Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas. I just went to a conference where she taught us a partner game where you can touch on all three tiers at once. (hopefully I can explain it correctly:) One student sits with their back to the whiteboard while the other sits facing it. The teacher puts up a vocabulary word like rain and the one partner who can see the word describes the word to their partner without saying it. If they don't get it, the word is passed on to another partner. Once someone gets the word they move onto the next which could be water vapor and then clouds. Partners try to guess and feed off each other's answers until the word is guessed. Now to the Tier 3 word or the BONUS WORD. The word would be Water Cycle. The student uses the previous clues and clues from their partner to help them guess the words from all three tiers. Hopefully I explained it so everyone understands. Good luck!

I am using Visual Studio 6.0 and code is in C/C++. Commercial software with over 2000 source files scattered all over. Trying to get a handle on doing some estimates on various tasks.
Is there a way in VS6.0 that allows one to do "Find In Files..." with some complex search criteria?
For example, I would like to search for lines in files that contains the string "alloc" or "malloc" or "calloc" or "realloc" which does NOT contain the string "sizeof". Is there a way to do this?
I also would like to have a line count (how many lines are there in all these files when the search pattern matches), and a file count (how many files do these lines occured in).
If they can be configures to ignore lines that preceeds with "//" or in the middle of a /*...*/ block or even inside of a #if 0 ... #endif even better.
This is just one example, I need to do dozens of different searches to make an assessment on how bad the code is and decide whether we hack/patch or refactor or whatever.
Also we use CVS source code control which creates a admin directory with duplicate code that will double the count, is there a way to "include subfolder" but not to include subfolders of a specific name?

Whether you are a seasoned, international road warrior, or a domestic suburbanite, new security features will soon be showing up on a credit card near you. In light of recent card data compromises, there's a new drive to adopt credit card security technologies known as "Chip and PIN" (typically noted as "chip/PIN") to better secure credit card data against fraud or compromise. While chip/PIN is new to most U.S. cardholders, it is the norm across most of Europe, Canada, and Mexico. There have been many initiatives in the last several years to drive U.S. payment card systems towards more secure technologies, but only now is adoption of chip/PIN starting to get increased traction across the U.S. payment card industry.
For individual card holders, these developments are important, and in this post we will cover some of the key points of these technologies.
First, what exactly is chip/PIN and what does it do to protect credit card data?
In a chip/PIN environment, when purchasing goods at a point of sale (POS) device, the credit card is inserted or "dipped" into a card reading device—not swiped as it is in the U.S. Once inserted, the customer inputs a PIN which authenticates the cardholder against the chip embedded on the card. Upon successful authentication, the chip generates the data necessary to complete the transaction and transmits the data for authorization.
Before we get too far into the discussion about chip/PIN, there is one point that needs to be clarified: The chip component of chip/PIN cards is sometimes referred to as "EMV data" or "EMV transactions" in the payment industry. The term EMV (for Europay, MasterCard and Visa) refers to a standard definition for chip-based payment cards, or "chip cards"—also referred to as "IC (integrated circuit) cards" as defined by EMVCo LLC. EMV is the basis for the chip/PIN implementation throughout Europe, and is planned for implementation in the U.S. (more on that, below). In short, EMV refers to the "chip" portion of chip/PIN cards, with the "PIN" implementation being a separate matter entirely.
Why is this relevant? Because much of what has been discussed thus far about implementing chip cards in the U.S. is focused primarily on the "chip" component, and does not necessarily include the "PIN" component that is otherwise present in Europe's EMV environment. In lieu of using a PIN to authenticate the chip card, discussions in the U.S. have leaned toward reliance on manual signature verification (such as when a clerk compares the signature on the receipt to the signature on the card). As a result, the U.S. implementation will likely wind up being referred to as "chip and signature" or "chip/signature."
What's the difference between chip/PIN and chip/signature?
From the merchant's perspective the credit-card payment process wouldn't change significantly, outside of likely hardware upgrade requirements. And from the processor's perspective, there really isn't a difference, as long as they process or support transactions using EMV, or "track-equivalent data."
Track-equivalent data is the data — including cryptographic data — used for transaction authentication and authorization within EMV environments. It is generated by the on-board integrated circuit, or the "chip," on the card itself—not the card-reading device. This is not to say that track-equivalent data is "secure" in-and-of-itself. Because of some of the underlying functional requirements, track-equivalent data typically includes certain discretionary data elements, some of which are sensitive in nature and cannot be stored (something merchants should note).
From the cardholder perspective, however, there is one notable difference and that is the requirement of a PIN or signature to verify that the person holding the card is the actual card owner.
Is chip/PIN more or less secure than chip/signature?
That depends.
In a chip/PIN scenario, the PIN is used to authenticate the cardholder against the information stored on the chip. If you don't know the PIN, the chip won't give up the information necessary to complete the transaction. In a chip/signature scenario (theoretically speaking), the clerk responsible for completing the transaction would be required to validate the customer signature on the receipt with their signature on the card. If your signature doesn't match sufficiently enough per the clerk's perusal, they won't complete the transaction. Say what you will about how consistently the practice of signature verification is actually practiced, versus how it is supposed to in theory, there are equally compelling arguments for either approach.
In a chip/PIN environment, as long as the cardholder's PIN is kept secret, it would be theoretically impossible for someone to use a stolen card to perform fraudulent card-present transactions. It is because of the PIN requirement that card criminals have evolved their data collection strategies to include video surveillance targeting PIN entry devices, such as at ATMs and retail point-of-sale devices, to collect customer PINs. Once the PIN is compromised, the card can be used for fraudulent transactions. On the other hand, I can show my signature around to anyone, put it on all my receipts, etc., and the likelihood of anyone being able to reliably reproduce it on demand is pretty slim (expert forgers, excluded). Ultimately, the question boils down to this: Which is a more secure means to verify that a credit card belongs to the person holding the card?
It can be erroneously concluded that U.S. implementation of EMV heading in the direction of chip/signature undermines many of the anti-fraud security protections of chip/PIN. However, when the issue is considered from multiple sides, especially in putting everything together for this article, the more it is clear that there is no significant security benefit of one solution over the other. Whether it is PIN or signature, the control is only used to authenticate the cardholder—the rest is about implementing security controls via EMV and integrated circuit cards that has nothing to do with either PINs or signatures. Until there is historical data to demonstrate the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of signatures vs. PINs in reducing card fraud, the jury is still out on which solution offers a significant upside over alternatives.
Ultimately, whether cards are authenticated via PIN or signature, the chip-based credit cards being rolled out in the U.S. will rely upon EMV security measures to protect the security of credit card data. These technologies provide a solid foundation for improving the overall security of credit card information and limiting fraud and misuse of compromised credit card data.

Triple Threat Trunks: Storage, Table & Seat
Trunks are great in small homes and dorms because they can do triple duty as storage, table or bench seat. Lately, I've been loving them as yarn storage. I stuff my yarn collection into the trunk, then stand it up on its end so that it takes up less room (i.e. smaller footprint). This way, it's about the height of a desk or table so I pop a jewelry stand on top, turning it into a mini vanity. This is just one of the many ways trunks and their usage can be customized.
Aside from personalizing how trunks are used, the trunks themselves can be customized. As shown in Photo 3, you can add everything from wheels, locks and shelves.
To make trunks easier to move around without wheels, stick large adhesive furniture sliders to the bottom. Alternatively, if you want to display the trunk by standing it up on its end, stabilize it from jostling caused by the handle and other hardware by using a couple of magazines to level the base around the handle.
To get ideas flowing, here are a few uses for trunks around the home:
• Coffee table
• Bench seat
• Low profile window table for gardening
• Window bench
• Storing bedding and seasonal clothing
• Storing toys
• Storing bulky craft supplies like yarn

When Tropical Storm Irene barreled through
New Jersey in August 2011, it left independent "hyperlocal" journalists up a
"It's tough to cover a story like that
without support. I wasn't sure exactly when it would hit, whether I should stay
up and wait for it or get some sleep," recalls Debra Galant, former editor of
Montclair's hyperlocal news website, Baristanet, and now the director of the
New Jersey News Commons for the Center for Cooperative Media at Montclair
Launched in July, the Center is partnering with
news organizations—large and small—to help the media better cover New Jersey.
With major grants from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the John S. and
James L. Knight Foundation, its goals are to bolster news coverage and analysis
for state residents while giving students at Montclair State's School of Communication
and Media valuable hands-on, professional experience.
"In launching our new School of Communication
and Media, we are pursuing a clear and compelling vision: to take the lead in
media education," said Dean Daniel Gurskis of the College of the Arts. "The
Center uniquely positions us to pursue bold initiatives in the teaching and study
of journalism."
With this new initiative, Montclair State joins
a handful of other universities around the country looking to shape the future
of an industry in transition.
"One of our aspirational goals is to help the
news industry survive and thrive in New Jersey," says Matthew Frankel, the University's
executive director for media industry partnerships. "In the process, we are
leveraging resources to benefit our students."
President Susan A. Cole agrees. "The Center
will offer students invaluable exposure to a rapidly changing industry, and give New
Jersey residents deeper access to exciting and relevant New Jersey-specific content.
From a home base here on campus, it will encourage the interaction between
media partners and the creation of new and exciting media initiatives."
Galant will run the Center's first
initiative, the New Jersey News Commons, and, among other things, will help
local news outlets collaborate to cover big stories and important issues such
as education, health care, natural disasters and crime trends that affect
communities locally and statewide.
"We'll be able to share stories and collaborate
when something big happens," she says. "During a hurricane, 100 reporters don't
all need to ask the forecaster the same questions. We can share advice and
To prepare the Center's new home, the
University has made major capital investments in HDTV studios and production
facilities, new digital radio studios, wireless newsroom spaces, offices and
areas designated for collaboration. The Center's wing in Schmitt Hall is
designed to create a kind of National Press Club for New Jersey.
The initial focus of the Center's work includes
developing collaborative statewide news and public affairs programming projects,
disseminating content through multimedia platforms and providing an environment
on campus that supports ongoing changes in the media. Galant will also oversee
a dedicated website to point to the best current stories about New Jersey,
including news from and for local communities.
The Commons plans to partner with University
faculty and students to provide professional development and training for journalists
learning the business side of news, such as advertising sales, online platforms
and servers, marketing and managing resources. It will help facilitate workshops
and round-table discussions with political, academia and industry leaders to
address issues facing the state.
The idea for a news co-op has been percolating
for a while among New Jersey journalists, many of whom have been downsized out
of jobs as the news industry continues to evolve in an online era.
"I've been on a lot of panels to discuss the future
of news," Galant says. "It became clear: Why don't we create a news co-op in
the state of New Jersey? Everyone's struggling. Maybe we can use our resources more
The Center's initial partners include NJTV, which
broadcasts its nightly news show, NJ Today, from its campus
headquarters; New Jersey Public Radio, a branch of New York Public Radio; and
NJ Spotlight, a foundation-funded news site that focuses on statewide issues of
education, energy, the environment and health care. Likening the network to an
"ecosystem" of local news sites, Frankel says, "Together we hope to
dramatically increase the coverage of New Jersey news and build new foundations
of collaboration between the state's various media entities."
The Dodge Foundation's President and CEO
Chris Daggett says, "Access to high quality, meaningful news and information is
the cornerstone to civic engagement and community building. We believe this is an
extraordinary opportunity to help unite journalists and news
organizations—large and small—in service to the 8.8 million residents of New
NJ Spotlight reporters and editors work in
the Statehouse's Press Row, in their homes, or at coffee shops with WiFi. The Montclair
State campus will be the home of NJ Spotlight's northern New Jersey bureau, where
editors hope to collaborate with other news organizations and will provide opportunities
to student interns.
"It's a wonderful chance to have space, get
out of our homes and be around other journalists and to get everyone working together,"
says NJ Spotlight co-founder John Mooney. "There's a lot of collaborative work
being done, and it is nice to have a place to do it together and to get our
stories on more websites." He also sees other perks to partnering with the
Center: "It will be nice to have some help on marketing or back-office help
with things like software development."
Glocally Newark, run by developer Derek Ware,
is a small, independent site targeting Newark's artistic community. Ware bought
Glocally Newark last January to keep it going in order to provide a balance to
the constant barrage of crime stories coming out of his hometown.
"We're looking at the new population in this
neighborhood—they're very artsy, multicultural and don't have the baggage of the
Newark riots affecting how they see the city," he says. "We are providing a
voice that needs to be heard."
Because he is new to publishing, Ware will turn
to the Commons as a place to learn the business. "The Commons helps me avoid
tripping along the way," he says.
Ware also sees the Commons as a place to find
more exposure for Glocally Newark's stories and get more material for his site.
"My staff can produce three stories a day, but you need more than that to grow,"
he says. "We offer urban arts and entertainment coverage. Suburban sites might
be interested in our stories, which could, in turn, generate interest in what's
going on in Newark."
As part of her role as director, Galant has reached
out to hyperlocal journalists around the state to determine their needs. Some
of what she has learned so far has surprised her. Though she thought everyone
would say that increasing revenue was their top concern, one publisher's
biggest need was pooled high school sports coverage. "Sports are a big deal in
her town and there are sometimes three or four events going on at once—home and
away. If she could share coverage with sites in other towns, she said that
would help her more than anything."
In addition to the work of the Commons, the Center
will also serve as an incubator for start-ups, Frankel says. "We hope we can create
Baristanet-esque sites throughout the state. If someone needs assistance for a start-up,
we're here to help."
NJ Spotlight's Mooney says a Center for Cooperative
Media could not happen without the support of the University and the Dodge and
Knight foundations, and he hopes it will ultimately help answer the biggest
question of all. "The toughest notion is how to make online journalism —not
even profitable—but sustainable. No one's figured that out yet."

Button Battery Safety
In 2011, Energizer and Safe Kids joined together to create a partnership to share life-saving information with parents and caregivers about the potential risks of swallowing coin lithium batteries. The program shines a light on a growing issue and provides easy steps that parents and caregivers can take to prevent injuries and death to children.
Energizer, working with the battery industry, has long supported the National Capital Poison Center's research on issues related to battery ingestion, as well as its efforts to guide parents and health professionals caring for children who have swallowed batteries. The company has also reached out to electronics designers and manufacturers to share information on the risks and ways that they can help address this problem. Energizer also developed new packaging for coin-sized button batteries that is harder for children to open and includes improved safety warnings.
In 2012 Safe Kids coalitions conducted or participated in more than 146 local community events, distributing educational materials through community events. Through these events, Safe Kids reached approximately 14,000 parents and caregivers; healthcare professionals and safety experts; childcare providers; government and county employees; and coalition members, partners and volunteers.
In addition, Safe Kids promoted awareness in educational sessions such as babysitter classes, parenting classes, home safety workshops, home visitation programs, conference sessions, webinars, staff meetings and trainings.
Around the World
Small children around the world often have easy access to electronic devices, and many parents do not know the risk. Our Safe Kids partners around the world are working to educate parents and caregivers at the most appropriate locations, including health and safety events, educational sessions, physician offices, childcare centers and other businesses.
