The Future of Privacy Symposium
How do we as consumers and creators of online content retain our personal privacy? How do we protect our identities while participating in Internet commerce? What is the relationship between Internet freedom and the growth of democracy? These are questions that will be discussed in a two-day Future of Privacy Symposium hosted by the University of Oklahoma Feb. 25-26.
"The Future of Privacy in a Socially Networked World" will feature a keynote by journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov, author of The Net Delusion: The Dark Side of Internet Freedom, on Monday evening at 5:30 p.m. Morozov argues that the Internet is not necessarily the key to democracy but may be just the opposite if used for authoritarian purposes.
Another session Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. will feature a discussion with Ashley Packard, digital media and law professor from the University of Houston – Clear Lake, and Chris Soghoian, principal technologist for the American Civil Liberties Union, on "Strategies for Effective Privacy and Civil Liberties Activism."
The closing session at 1:30 p.m. will be a panel discussion between Morozov, Packard and Soghoian and will be moderated by University of Oklahoma law professor Stephen Henderson. The topic will be "What the Courts Can – and Should – Do to Preserve Constitutional Privacy Protections."
All events will be held in the Ethics & Excellence in Journalism Foundation Auditorium in Gaylord Hall, room 1140, on the Norman campus. In addition, all sessions will be streamed live on the Gaylord College website at http://www.ou.edu/
The Future of Privacy Symposium is a Centennial Celebration of the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication in conjunction with the Institute for the American Constitutional Heritage. Senior Vice Provost Kyle Harper and Edith Kinney Gaylord Presidential Professor Robert Kerr organized the symposium. In 2013 the Gaylord College is celebrating 100 years of excellence in journalism education at the University of Oklahoma.

The Majesty was already known to scooter riders elsewhere in the world when Yamaha introduced it to the United States in 2005. The U.S. Majesty, with 395 cc of engine power, was the biggest in the Japanese manufacturer's Majesty line. Majesty scooters in other countries had much smaller engines ranging from 125 cc to 250 cc. When it was introduced to American markets, the Majesty 400 was considered Yamaha's top-of-the-line scooter. In introducing the maxi-scooter to the United States, Yamaha said the Majesty 400 ""pumps out the power of a motorcycle with the convenience and comfort of a scooter."" The Majesty 400 has lots of under-seat storage, with 16 gallons of space that will hold a full-face helmet, laptop, and more. The under-seat storage has an interior light so riders don't have to search for things in the dark. More lockable storage can be found behind the leg shield. If more storage is needed, such as for a weekend trip, top cases can be found from aftermarket sellers.
The Majesty is geared for experienced riders. Many beginners drop their scooters a lot in the learning process so it's better for them to learn on a less expensive scooter so they won't have to worry about dents and paint scratches as much. Speed is another consideration. The Majesty 400 can go more than 90 miles per hour, making it suitable for freeway driving across the country as well as commuting around town. The Majesty 400 can go from 0 to 60 mph in 11 seconds. The Majesty 400 also may be better suited for taller riders. With a wide seat that is 30 inches high, shorter riders may not be able to put both feet on the ground at stops. The seat comes with a backrest and is adjustable so the driver can find a more comfortable riding position. The instrument panel also includes a light that indicates when to change the oil and a gauge that indicates wear on the V-belt.

One of Sharon's own school officials recently attended a two-day training on how to save lives in the event of a school shooting.
The event, hosted by Norfolk DA Michael Morrissey last week, involved the presentation of the ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) program, which was developed by former SWAT police officer Greg Cane and Lisa Cane, a school principal
Ken Werz, Sharon's school department Director of Operations and a member of Sharon's Local Emergency Planning Committee, joined more than 100 other police, safety and school officials from across the county, according to a press release Thursday.
The training was held in donated seminar space at the headquarters of the Bank of Canton; live-action demonstration was held in the now-vacant Avery School in Dedham.
The classroom training included an analysis of 25 years of school shooting incidents, and which actions helped end the incidents more quickly with fewer lives lost, and which protocols appeared to be counter-productive.
"The strict lockdown model has become almost a default protocol to any violent intruder incident," Morrissey said in a statement Thursday. "But there is a growing conversation nationally whether a more flexible response, including evacuating the building, barricading the doors and other actions, might not save lives. We wanted to bring Norfolk County schools and police into that conversation, so that they can weigh all of the options available to keep their students safe."
Morrissey said he hopes the information provided can help towns with future planning.
"Every community should have a plan, but that plan must be developed at the local level, with input from the police and school community," he said.
Editor's Note: Information for this article was provided by the office of Norfolk DA Michael Morrissey.

Communal creativity
Kresge Fellows unite for X
Published: April 6, 2011
"You'd maybe see each other around town and share a great feeling for a moment, then that'd be it," he says.
Carducci already knew other fellows, such as fellow writers Lynn Crawford and Chris Tysh. As a music fan, he knew Frank Pahl and Joel Peterson and has attended their concerts. Then there's A. Spencer Barefield. "We went to college together, lived on the same floor in the dorms, and often stayed up all night drinking, listening to John Coltrane," Carducci says. "But I didn't know who the other people were and probably wouldn't have known them unless somehow we ran into each other somewhere random around town. I would've never met Invincible — and let me tell you, she is awesome, smart as hell, amazing."
Carducci, sounding like a man being treated for an art addiction, says "the ArtServe meetings have done something, but you have to want to take advantage of it." What he means is that some artists have been more into it than others, however he doesn't fault any artist for wanting to be private, noting some of the best artists, such as Gordon Newton, are basically social hermits.
Still, the critic stays high on the power of the group.
"At the last meeting, just the writers got together and kind of recognized that there was a group within the group," he says. "Writers of fiction and creative nonfiction have a whole different thing going on than the poets, we learned. And the poets are known really well outside Detroit. So now other writers are trying to see what they're doing, Lynn Crawford and Steve Hughes are now doing a reading together, inspired as a direct result of the ArtServe meeting. And let's not forget the visual artists — the way they represent so many practices, now who knows how they might cross-pollinate with one another? It's an amazing yet unintended consequence."
That unintended consequence between the fellows will be a common theme at Art X.
The flamenco dancer Valeria Montes is collaborating with break dance vet Haleem "Stringz" Rasheed and Detroit Symphony Orchestra double bassist Rick Robinson. Robinson will later perform with rapper and activist Invincible and singer Monica Blaire. Experimental jazz heads Pahl and Peterson are teaming up for a show. Visual artist Chido Johnson will lead a wire car cruise in collaboration with students and other area artists in front of the DIA. There'll be a talk featuring a panel of fellows that includes Susan Goethel Campbell, Tyree Guyton, Chido Johnson and Cedric Tai. Poets Vievee Francis, Rachel Harkai and Matthew Olzmann will share a stage.
And, of course, there will be countless solo exhibitions of visual art, as well as music, dance and reading performances.
Art X might prove as overwhelming as it is awesome.
And if that byproduct of collaborative energy among artists can be harnessed, then we might be on the verge of the unprecedented arts explosion some say Detroit's been gearing toward.
"That these artists could be such a resource for each other and leverage their individual networks to benefit the whole to the extent they have has been a genuine surprise for everyone," Charles says.
"The interesting thing about the art scene in Detroit right now," Carducci says, "is that it's getting very communal."
Art X runs Wednesday, April 6, through Sunday, April 10, at multiple Midtown venues (DIA, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Scarab Club, Majestic Theatre, and Leopold's Books). For more info, see artxdetroit.com.

Stockstill believes Blue Raiders on right path
Spring drills are underwayMarch 17, 2012 · Athletic Communications
Stockstill watched his team and coaches intently during the two-hour session in helmets and uniforms, but no pads.
"It's hard to tell much on the first day," added Stockstill. "I liked our tempo, but we have to get a little bit faster, and that is more communication than anything else. I liked their energy, I liked their tempo. I told them afterwards that if we continue to work like this and coach like this, we've got a chance to improve over the next five or six practices. It is going to be hard over the next few days, working so many people, to get the perfection that you seek, that you want. But there is nothing that can keep you from working hard or giving great effort. No matter whom you are, how fast you are, how slow you are, everybody can compete at a high level, and give great effort."
A shoulder injury to wide receiver Marcus Henry, a junior college transfer, put a damper on the day.
"I got mad over that," said Stockstill. "I want us to be aggressive, but we have to be smarter about it. We have to stay on our feet. Marcus went for a reception, and the defensive back went for a strip of the ball, they got tangled up, and Marcus landed on his shoulder. He is probably done for the spring."
The Blue Raiders will return to the practice field on Sunday.
Omar McLendon: There is a different attitude about this team after last year. The younger guys have a sense of "we have to prove ourselves." Chris Sharpe (soph. cornerback) dropped a sure interception and when he came off the field we all got on him about it. And, on the very next play, he intercepted one. I feel like the younger guys are working, and the older guys should feed off of that.
Shubert (Bastien) and Jiajuan (Fennell) both got to play a lot last year as freshmen, and this year we should expect them to play even more. They should have even more confidence since this will be their second year. Max (Ugboaja) needs to come along. He saw the field a lot last year. We just need for all of the guys to buy-in and we all need to be heading in the right direction.
I'll never forget last season. It was a learning experience, so it is always in the back of my mind, "No repeat of last season". It was a horrible feeling, and I've had a bad taste in my mouth ever since."
Alex Stuart: We've got to be tougher. I'm not trying to sling mud at anybody, but we had several people that were weak, both mentally and physically. You have to be tough. That's how you win football games. You've got to have people that want to get tough, get down, get dirty and get nasty. It is okay to remember last season, but you have to put it in the past and move on.
Anthony Amos: I see myself as a 'go-to' person, but in our offense, everyone is expected to be a go-to receiver. I am just trying to lead by example.
Dearco Nolan: I was moved back to defensive end from tackle, and that's my natural position, but it doesn't really matter to me where I play. Last year, we lost a couple of guys at end, and I had to play tackle. But it really doesn't matter to me which position I play, I just want to help the team. Coach Cauthen was with the team last year, and he is a great coach. He explains things very well.
It is important for this team to know that winning is not entitled. We've got to come hard every day, come to work every day, nothing is given to you. The defense is going to work hard, come to work every day, get takeaways and play hard-nose football.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court decided that the 13 million Americans who are arrested and admitted each year to local jails and detention facilities – including the many millions charged with misdemeanors and petty offenses like shoplifting, failure to pay a fine, traffic offenses and civil offenses like contempt and failure to pay child support -- may all be strip-searched without any reasonable suspicion to believe that they are concealing contraband in their private parts, if they will be placed into the jail's general population.
The vote was 5-4, with Justice Anthony Kennedy writing the Court's opinion, supported by the Court's other, more conservative Justices (John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and ClarenceThomas).
All three female Justices (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan) dissented, along with Justice Stephen Breyer, who wrote the dissenting opinion.
In 1999, I won a decision from a federal judge in the Eastern District of New York declaring the blanket strip search policy of the Nassau County Jail unconstitutional because everyone admitted to the jail was strip searched without any reasonable-suspicion inquiry. I then commenced a class action on behalf of the 17,000 people arrested on minor charges and unlawfully strip searched in that jail in the previous three years.
In 2003, Nassau County conceded liability to every member of the class for the unconstitutional strip searches. In 2006, a judgment of liability was entered on behalf of the class and every member thereof. In 2010, after a three week trial, the Court awarded general damages of $500 to each class member for the human dignity violation inherent in each unlawful strip search.
We are not talking about felons convicted of serious crimes and sentenced to state prison. We are talking about the other 13 million lodged, often temporarily, in county jails each year, many on minor charges, not yet convicted, arrested for the first time, who are stunned to discover that they can be forced to strip naked before a corrections officer in full uniform (and often others in the room), lift their breasts, lift their penis and testicles, turn around and bend over and spread their cheeks to permit an visual inspection of the anal and vaginal cavities.
For many years, beginning in the 1980's, every federal Circuit Court of Appeals decided that such blanket strip searching of non-felony arrestees was unnecessarily humiliating and degrading, a gross invasion of privacy, and therefore a violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Lots of empirical evidence supported the proposition that these visual body-cavity searches of minor offenders rarely turned up contraband not discoverable without them. For example, in Nassau County, of 75,000 strip searches conducted on new admits over a five-year period, only 16 produced contraband- 13 of which would have been detected in a patdown or a search of shoes or outer clothing. In the three instances in which contraband was found on the detainee's body or in a body cavity, there was a drug or felony history creating individualized reasonable suspicion. In other words, none of the 75,000 visual strip and body-cavity searches could be said to support the necessity of the jail's suspicionless blanket strip search policy.
Over the years, professional correctional associations came to adopt standards that forbade suspicionless strip searching. Ten states prohibited them. Many jails, either voluntarily or through civil rights litigation in the courts, came to adopt a reasonable suspicion standard and did away with blanket strip searching of new admittees charged with non-felony offenses. Magnetometers (metal-detectors) came to be commonly used instead to screen new arrivals, with no diminution of institutional security. The issue seemed to be resolved.
Beginning in 2008, however, conservative judges in the Eleventh, Ninth and Third Circuits issued decisions endorsing blanket suspicionless strip searching for the first time, setting the stage for yesterday's Supreme Court decision in Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders of County of Burlington.
Justice Kennedy's decision for the Court hardly mentions the invasion of privacy inherent in the challenged strip-searching, nor does it discuss the empirical evidence necessary to resolve the question of whether such wholesale strip-searching of millions each year is necessary and justifiable.
Justice Breyer's more persuasive dissent does, but unfortunately, the Court's moderate wing has only four votes. The 2000 and 2004 elections of George W. Bush were watershed events, giving control of the United States Supreme Court to conservatives apparently inclined to radically remake American constitutional law.
The Citizens United decision removed limits on huge corporate and individual campaign contributions, further corrupting our politics. The oral argument on Obamacare last week revealed a willingness to curtail the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce, which for at least half a century had been thought to be virtually unlimited. Now, after Florence, millions of us have lost important constitutional protection against unnecessary and unreasonable searches and seizures.

Layer Tennis. Two words. Two critical constructs. But what's most important about these two words is what lies between them and remains unspoken, unsaid, and unknown. Time. The volley. The pause. That fifteen minutes. And today, we introduce time almost as a third player in our Friday afternoon match here at Layer Tennis as our players defy time in an unprecedented rivalry.
Reporting in from the velvety booth here in New York, I've not seen such cloaked competition between two opponents. Could it simply be the time difference between them? Their shared vetern-ship of the game? Their mutual affection for grids?
Playing from a location in misty London is Tom Muller, pronounced "MUHL-er," not "MYOOL-er," so you can rule out any references you might have been thinking about straight away. "Sometimes, when I'm lucky they'll greet me with 'Hello, Muller'," he admits with a reference to his own website, so a note to any well-wishers in the crowd. With a distinct thing for orange and a proclivity for grids, you may know him from such other places as Season 2. A design director specializing in print, logos, identity, interactive work, and motion, he appears to be unflappable in his media choice. His work has been called "mixing grid with Sci-fi-like style," (in a good way). He just got back from a day of cross disciplinary frolicking, which might come in handy today. He hails from Belgium, but now resides in London, England, which means if you're watching live, he may very well be playing this match drunk. Ultimately, this may or may not be an advantage, after all it was Ernest Hemingway who advised, "Write drunk; edit sober." Luckily, there is no editing in Layer Tennis.
And from a dark location somewhere in Tokyo is Oliver Reichenstein, information architect, philosopher, master of focus, designer of information, mapper of web trends, and writer, who claims his nickname is "olo" but we know him as iA. Earlier this year, he made the Internet feel like a smaller place. And recently made a much-discussed app for writing. His hometown is Basel, Switzerland, but now resides in Tokyo, Japan, which is not confusing, but does means that if you're watching live, it's directly in middle of the night. Ultimately, this may or may not be an advantage, as it was E.L. Doctorow who said, "Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." I don't think this actually helps Reichenstein one bit other than to know it's foggy in London.
During this week's mandatory calisthenics, our competitors when back in time as if in some sort of cathartic design session. Graphic design, wasn't in fact, what they've always wanted. In fact, aside from wanting to be a Russian cosmonaut at age seven, Thomas Muller wanted to be a "bin man" because the "orange trucks they used back in the '70s in Belgium were just too cool." If history is any indication we'll see the return of orange today.
Not to be outdone, Oliver Reichenstein, fiercely competitive even in the warm ups, refuted with his own seven-year-old career choice: "astronaut, boss, and painter," as if astronaut alone wasn't good enough. An overachiever already.
I would reveal more about the week's preparations, but the rivalry between these men has been almost too much for the fine velvet that lines this Layer Tennis booth. In fact, what I've witnessing here has made the two men glad to be separated by eight hours.
Do they have anything in common? Looking across both their traditions of work, the grid plays a major role, but color seems to separate them. Both experiment with media and rush forward across platforms, but where one seems playful, the other serene. The rivals are, of course, planning in secret, so I ask you: will their layers form a pointed narrative or will they unite in their opposition?
Well, we won't have to wait any longer. Reichenstein has won the coin toss. It looks like Muller is sending some sort of orange signal, clearly already trying to distract his opponent. But all we see is focus from Tokyo. We're about to begin. From New York, I'm here – in the third time zone – with strong coffee and a pencil, playing along. Quiet, it's almost time.
Liz reports in from crisp Brooklyn, New York, where she's part designer and part educator. She writes about design for a number of publications and has an admitted thing for thank you notes.

New Online Training Course Helps Construction Professionals Get Smart Standby Generators
WASHINGTON (November 9, 2010) Through a new online training course offered by the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), construction professionals can become experts on standby generators that help protect homeowners during power outages.
The course, "Specifying Propane Standby Generators," covers the types of generators, performance considerations, and fuel options, and prepares construction professionals to answer homeowners' questions about how to stay safe after the power goes out. Power outages can affect the refrigeration of food and medication, the operation of sump pumps and home security systems, and the availability of fresh well water.
"Construction professionals can help homeowners proactively protect their homes during power outages by specifying a standby generator," said Tracy Burleson, director of residential programs for PERC. "The new online course takes a comprehensive approach to make sure that construction professionals navigate successfully through the selection process."
As outlined in the course, the proper sizing and selection of a standby generator is often based on the wattage output, the cost, and the decibel rating. The type of fuel used to power the generator, which includes gasoline, diesel, and propane, is also an important consideration. For example, during a five-day outage, a standby generator would require approximately 70 gallons of gasoline, presenting storage and safety issues. Diesel is susceptible to oxidation and condensation, posing problems with long-term storage of fuel. Propane, which does not oxidize or lose vitality over time, offers a low-maintenance option that is safe and reliable.
To learn more, visit buildwithpropane.com and enroll in the "Specifying Propane Standby Generators" course, which is approved by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

10 cars so popular they're out of stock
The best measure of the popularity of a car is the availability of a particular model on any given day, week or month. The auto manufacturing industry calls this measure "days to turn" or "time on lot." The average car or light truck takes 50 or 60 days to sell once a dealer gets it. Some models can stay on lots for more than 90 days. The vehicles that are in really great demand are on lots for fewer than 20 days, and sometimes closer to 10. Based on November 2012 days-to-turn data for vehicles sold in the United States, provided by Edmunds.com, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 models that spend the shortest time on the lot.

Staff Writer
As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, gardening enthusiasts are prepping beds for winter and moving transportable items inside.
According to Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service Agriculture Educator Roger Williams, some thought should be put into what plants can successfully inside indoors, and when they should make the transition.
"What people need to remember is the stuff has been outside getting lots of sunlight," said Williams. "If you take it inside where it's dark, you're going to shock it. You also have to think about all the insects that crawl all over the plants. You want to make sure you don't have bugs in items you're looking to bring indoors. A lot of insects can be found on the underside of leaves, so you want to be sure and give them a good going-over before bringing them inside."
Williams said plants that receive a lot of sunlight need to make a slow transition, and depending on light exposure in the home, some plants aren't suitable to move.
"Also, when plants are outside, they need a whole lot more water than they do when they're inside," said Williams. "You want to make sure you don't stay on the same watering schedule, or you'll waterlog your plants."
Williams said fall is a good time to prune plants being considered for moving.
"Pull off leaves that aren't any good," said Williams. "Generally, whenever someone does something to shock a plant, it will shed its leaves. That's a real good indicator of shock."
Tomatoes are thought to be a summertime crop, as heat intensifies the flavor of the fruit. Williams said that in this area, tomatoes can be successfully grown in greenhouses, but they often lack flavor.
"For the most part, most people don't have enough sunlight in their homes to grow tomatoes in the house," said Williams. "If you're lucky enough to have a greenhouse, you can have some success. Tomatoes rely heavily on high soil temperatures for flavor, so even hot house tomatoes that look pretty and turn red are often bland. You'll put a lot of time and effort in, and they just won't be tasty."
Williams also said those planning to dig up plants for transplanting to indoor containers shouldn't waste their time.
"Moving plants from the ground to containers - it doesn't really work very well," said Williams. "There are people who want to move tomato plants, and you could maybe get some seed from that, but that's about it. Tomatoes extract so much fertilizer and nutrients from the ground where they are that they just don't do well if you dig them up."
Herbs, on the other hand, can be grown indoors with success, as long as they are started in containers. Again, Williams warns against digging up established plants.
"Some people manage to grow spinach, lettuce and radishes in roll-around carts, but there, they've started it from seed in fresh soil," said Williams.
Patrons at Shelly's Fine Barbering may have noticed the plethora of plants scattered about the shop, particularly in the winter.
"I spent half a day moving plants last Friday," said Norman. "We moved these two ficus, the herbs, the airplane plant and these ferns."
Norman has a 14-year-old lemon tree near her work station that she started from seed about 14 years ago.
"All of these have to have lots of light," she said. "Particularly your tropicals, like this lemon tree. You can grow most herbs inside; I have oregano, French tarragon and thyme growing here in the front window. You can always tell when it's time to move plants in, because basil will die off first. It's the canary in the mine of the plant world."

Youngstown State at Valparaiso Men's Basketball Game Notes
Related Links
Friday, February 27, 2009
The Matchup: Valparaiso concludes regular season play tonight at the ARC against the Penguins of Youngstown State. It will be the final time that seniors Jake Diebler and Urule Igbavboa step onto the floor at home.
Series History: In a series that dates back 20 years, the Crusaders own a 19-7 advantage all-time against the Penguins. Valpo has captured all three meetings since joining the Horizon League, including most recently a 68-57 victory in Youngstown, Ohio on Dec. 4, 2008. Despite trailing by 14 points 16 minutes into the game, the Crusaders ended the first half on a 15-4 run and took the lead for good with 13 minutes to play. Senior Urule Igbavboa set a new career high with 27 points in the victory. Igbavboa hit nine of his 15 attempts from the field and went 9-of-11 from the foul line, while also ripping down a team-best nine rebounds. Senior Jake Diebler hit 4-of-7 shots from behind the arc on his way to 15 points, while sophomore Michael Rogers added eight points and seven rebounds.
First-Round Scenarios: With the Horizon League Championships beginning next Tuesday, Valparaiso enters the final day of regular season play knowing it will be the tournament's nine seed and will play on the road in the first round. Valpo's first-round opponent is still to be determined, however, and all five remaining games could theoretically impact the opponent. The scenarios:
The Comforts of Home: The Crusader offense has been much more successful at home this year than when it steps away from the Athletics-Recreation Center. Valpo is scoring 67.5 ppg at home vs. 55.9 ppg away from home, and is shooting over five percent better both from the field and from behind the 3-point arc. The offensive output at the ARC is a key reason that the Crusaders are 7-6 at home this year and have secured their 16th straight season at .500 or better at home. A win against Youngstown State would give Valpo eight home wins for the 16th straight year as well.
Igbavboa Leads the Way: Senior forward Urule Igbavboa has continued to be among the top Crusaders across the board, going for 17 points and team-high totals of eight rebounds and four assists Thursday against Cleveland State. It continues a trend for Igbavboa, who has always excelled in the scoring and rebounding departments for Valpo, but has added the role of offensive distributor to his resume this year. He currently leads the Crusaders in scoring (12.1 ppg) and rebounding (5.8 rpg). He also paces Valpo in league play in assists (2.9 apg) and is tied for sixth in the Horizon League in league games in the category.

Suwannee Democrat
Jasper —
At the Nov. 6 meeting of the Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners, outgoing commissioners Lewis Vaughn, dist. 3 and Ronny Morgan, dist. 1, who are both retiring, wanted to say a few words about their service to the county. Robert Brown will be taking over the dist. 3 seat and Beth Burnam the dist. 1 seat on Nov. 20.
To the other commissioners Vaughn said, "It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve in this county and working with you guys for 27 years. I'm going to miss it, but most of all I'm going to miss you guys."
Vaughn said he knew his statement was short and he wished he could put 27 years of thoughts into it, but the meeting was about to adjourn.
"I, too, have been privileged to be able to serve with you as a commissioner and also as a clerk," said County Clerk Greg Godwin. "It will certainly be different. I'm sure that your predecessor sitting right out there (Robert Brown), he's got some big shoes to fill. He'll do well, but it will be a lot different up here not having the experience and the friendship that we had and established over all these years. I thank you for being kind to me as a commissioner and as a clerk. It's been a tremendous experience for me in my life and I appreciate it."
Morgan said, "It's been a pleasure working with you all on the board. It was kind of sad yesterday, sitting here and thinking about going, and that today was going to be my last day."
He, too, expressed his appreciation working with the other board members and serving the county.
"I think we made a lot of progress and made a lot of improvements in the county and I'm really proud of some of the things we've done," said Morgan. "As sad as it was yesterday, I was left with a big smile this morning because I went in and voted. I was just joyful this morning knowing it was all coming to an end. God closes one door and he'll open another one somewhere else. God bless you all and God bless this county."
A send-off luncheon was held at 12 noon after the commission meeting at Mt. Olive Baptist Church Fellowship Hall for both Vaughn and Morgan.

BMBF-VS: Vehicle Scheduling
Vehicle Scheduling in Public Transit
In public transport, in rail and air traffic vehicle rotations must be constructed on the basis of a given timetable. Usually, the vehicles are of several types or sizes and they are stationed at a number of depots. Furthermore, there are rules for the construction of rotations for these vehicles, must notably for the feasibility of deadhead trips and the assignment of vehicles to depots. The main goal in vehicle scheduling is to minimize the fleet size, secondary goals are to minimize variable costs or operational criteria such as the number of line hops.
The result of the project is an optimization tool VS-OPT that solves vehicle scheduling problems using integer programming techniques. The algorithmic core implements a novel Lagrangean pricing technique that allows to solve even largest instances to proven fleet optimality. VS-OPT is available in industrial scheduling systems (MICROBUS II and BERTA) and in use in many public transport companies throughout the world. A part of VS-OPT, the min-cost flow solver MCF can be downloaded; it can be freely used for academic purposes.
Signifcant cost reductions by VS-OPT are documented.

KSRM has been investigating two petitions relating to the Kenai Peninsula Borough's Anadromous Streams Ordinance.
There have been allegations on both sides that the petitions are being misused, and people signing their names aren't fully aware of how their names are being used.
We asked Fred Braun, one of the Ordinance Task Force members and a member of the group Citizens 4 Responsible Waterfront Land Use, what the 2,000 people on his petition were told…
Braun: "Well actually our group had a little flyer, a little hand out, that explained the reasons we were pushing for repeal and all of those questions were written on that hand out. I apologize, I don't have a copy in front of me, but they're certainly all over the place, and it had to do, I think, more with loss of private property rights; the fact that there was a ordinance passed without – we felt – proper notification, ask them how they felt about that."
Braun said his goal is the same as the Borough Assembly's: to protect fish, but he'd prefer to see an ordinance aimed at educating property owners, rather than punishing them.
Braun: "You look at the state campgrounds, you look at some of the even the federal campgrounds, some of those are the worst, most mistreated shoreline stream miles that there are. The private property owners take better care of their own land and protect it better than anyone else will."
At present, the Borough Assembly look like it will repeal the current ordinance and start again.
** Comments on this story do not represent the thoughts and / or opinions of KSRM Radio Group, Staff, Management or Sponsors. **
You've got to be kidding, Mr. Braun!!! Just look at any Kenai River waterfront property that was developed prior to the 2000 ordinance (and many after the ordinance was passed) and you will find an almost total disrespect for any trees, vegetation or habitat protection. Who are you trying to kid?
You people don't give a damn about the salmon habitat; you just want to lay back in your lawn chair with a clear view of the river, guzzle a bud and go out and catch some salmon. This issue is simply over greed and not wanting anyone to tell you to pitch in and help protect the fish.
As for federal and state campgrounds being mistreated; I don't doubt that. This mistreatment is being done by people like you who knock down the orange fences, crowd along the riverbanks to fish, trample the vegetation and litter the area.

Oberweis mooving in 2013
In May, Glen Ellyn Patch reported Oberweis Dairy's plans to move up the road and open a new dining concept in the former Chase Bank location at 515 Roosevelt Road.
Obeweis was planning to open a dual restaurant that would continue to serve dairy products alongside a hamburger place, "That Burger Joint." The location would also house a Connie's Pizza.
The concept, which was under review required zoning and permit approvals, but according to a story in the Chicago Tribune, the project is moving forward. The Village of Glen Ellyn's Board of Trustees has awarded the developer $15,000 to use toward façade and sidewalk improvements. The bank has been empty for six years.

First he was handed a trophy. Then he was handed a note.
The hardware was the President's Cup following Northeastern State's 45-38 victory over Central Oklahoma. It was the RiverHawks' fourth straight triumph over their in-state rival, sending positive vibes throughout an NSU program that was in desperate need of a warm embrace following difficult season.
While celebrating a season-concluding victory in the locker room, Kenny Evans was handed a note that said to pay Director of Athletics Tony Duckworth a visit as soon as possible.
Evans assumed he was being summoned to receive a personal pat on the back.
"I was just handed the trophy and (Assistant Athletic Director) Bill Nowlin came into the locker room and handed me a note that said Tony wanted to see me," Evans said. "I thought it was to congratulate me."
In fact, it was the complete opposite.
"I got into the (event center) and I was told I was no longer the head coach at Northeastern State," Evans said in an interview with the Tahlequah Daily Press. "And because of legal counsel, he said he couldn't give me reasons why."
Evans was so taken aback that he thought Duckworth might of been playing a cruel joke on NSU alum.
"I asked, 'are you joking?'" Evans recalled. "I was truly in shock."
Word spread quickly Saturday evening that Evans was no longer NSU's head coach. Then Evans confirmed shortly thereafter to the Daily Press that his six-year reign was over.
"I will never understand," Evans said. "I was never given a full explanation."
On Sunday, Duckworth confirmed the news at an afternoon press conference. He said he wanted the program to go in a new direction.
That same day, Evans' phone and email inbox were overflowing with messages from friends and colleagues.
"I had 50-plus emails and probably more than that on phone calls and texts," Evans said. "I probably talked to 40 or 50 coaches. It's nice that they're all thinking about me."
Among those with words of encouragement for Evans were Barry Switzer and "a guy from the Dallas Cowboys," Evans said. Tulsa head coach Bill Blankenship even invited Evans to practice on Wednesday.
"I may not even pursue coaching," Evans said of his next venture in life. "But after watching practice today, it got me fired up."
With the win over Central Oklahoma, Evans' overall record at NSU improved to 22-44. He posted back-to-back winning seasons in 2010 and 2011, but consecutive losing seasons in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association ultimately led to Evans' demise.
"The bottom line is there is only one thing you're judged on and that's wins, and we only had six of them the last two years," said Evans, whose teams went 4-6 and 2-8 in MIAA play in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Evans said he would have stuck with NSU for the long haul, no matter what would have come about.
"I've had opportunities to go other places and turned those down because I wanted to be (at NSU)," Evans said. "I love my university. But people have to live with their decisions and I'm going to move on."
Evans' concerns have now shifted to coaches that are still employed at NSU.
"No. 1, I am worried about my staff," he said. "I know they'll have an opportunity to interview with who is hired. I know how that goes, and I'm going to do what I can to help them out."
As for the RiverHawks' next head coach, Evans certainly wants that person to succeed.
"My hope is that they give the next person more resources than what I had," Evans said. "It won't be impossible, but it would be tough."

After seeing Miriam Margolyes do her Dickens' Women one-woman show on the weekend ... I'm inspired to go re-read some of the Dickens canon.
The show, btw, was completely amazing. I think Vancouver was one of the last stops on the year-long world tour, with only Toronto left after this.
I agree, Heaven, Texas et al are a bit on the too-sweet side, but I need that kind of utter brain fluff at this time of the year. I do think I ended up accepting adult Sugar Beth's awesomeness, but it took me a while since I dislike characters who do bad things on purpose, especially if they're good people at heart.
Although... I just finished Dennis Lehane's Live by Night and I was pleasantly surprised with it. I'm not into historical fiction anymore and I should have disliked the protagonist (see above about characters who do bad things), but it's an absolutely fascinating book. Makes me want to give Boardwalk Empire another try.
The only book of Higgins' that ever made me feel like crying was The Next Best Thing. When
SpoilerEthan asks Lucy to choose him this time and she doesn't, . I was actually rooting for him to dump her at the end.
I came across a Rosemary Rogers the other day. RR was all the rage when I was in high school and was considered very smutty. The book was so tame I wanted to pat it on the head and tell it how cute it was .
I'm reading The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University. I almost passed because I thought the title was , but I decided to give it a shot and I am finding it very readable. I can relate to a lot of the things he's talking about, which makes a difference, but I like his voice and sense of humor, too.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."-- Albert Einstein.
Agreed, she does bring the funny - that turkey scene, I remember now that you mention it. I think I liked All I Ever Wanted the most of the titles I've read. And Fools Rush In I liked the least.
I am visual and totally a sucker for cute dogs so yes, the reason I even tried one of Kristan Higgins' books in the first place is because of the covers. (First link - doggie in a basket cover, not the newer canoe one if that shows up).
Finished First-rate madness. I still find many of the arguments lacking, especially the chapters on JFK. He argues that it was JFK's hyperthymic (slightly manic) personality that made him a better leader at the time of crisis. At the same time, he argues that it was the fact that his numerous meds (so many! steroids for the Addison's, including anabolic steroids, amphetamines, procaine--a relative of cocaine and occasionally barbiturates--I would think most minds would go up in flames) were better regulated in the latter part of his presidency and that was what helped him function better.
Incidentally, he says W, Blair and Obama are all mentally healthy leaders which is a good thing in times of prosperity and absence of crisis but a bad thing in a opposite situation. Oh dear.
I feel he tries hard to make the facts fit the theory and would bet that bipolar disorder is his professional interest. He does mention conducting a study on it at least once. So the carpenter is always looking for nails. Not to say that I completely disagree with him, just not entirely convinced about specific examples he provides. I feel there's a unfortunate degree of simplification and facile classification that he tries to impose on his subjects. So overall, an interesting but poorly developed idea.
I am now looking at The Wings of the Dove, yup by Henry James. I feel that never-ending sentences would be a nice change after the JCO's fiasco and psychobabble. Wish me luck.

"Nature is a damp, inconvenient sort of place where birds and animals wander about uncooked."
from Speedy Death
I don't have a lot of time for novels but I decided--in the midst of a lot of stress--to read a few for the escape. I'm batting zero on what I've got from the library for Kindle. The worst:
To the Moon and Back by Jill Mansell. Unless you enjoy relentless predictability and random plot points that disappear (not that you miss them), avoid this book. I think I had it all figured out by the end of chapter two or three. Unfortunately, there were 56 chapters and an epilogue. And I can't get past the fact that the main character seems to have no background, no family, nothing. The book opens with the tragic death of her husband. But she has no one for support but a movie star father-in-law and a casual work friend who quickly disappears. All the other characters seem to have families. One visits a mother, one visits a sister. The love interest has an entire extended family that we meet as does the dead husband's best friend. But here is this main character who seems to be in her 20s with no parents or any other family and there is absolutely no explanation of this. It is as if she was born full grown the moment she met the dead husband. Or maybe she was an alien dropped in London full grown. No idea. But it seems very strange. At least drop in a note that they are all estranged and the family lives in Egypt or something.
I have some Jill Mansell books on my Nook, but I have never read them. I have so many 99 cent specials like that. And now maybe I never will But PDillemma, if you are in grad school, you surely do need to find some light, relaxing reading that you enjoy.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."-- Albert Einstein.
And curse that PL. She made me download Rot and Ruin. I hate teenaged angsty stuff and it was totally predictable zombie stuff (by someone who teaches writing. Wonder what he teaches about plotting? ) but I read the whole thing and now I have to get the next one in the series to see who was flying the stupid plane. Stupid zombies.
And, she and Spinner are still on my death list to be run down by attack Poodles for the whole Pendergast fiasco, but since the REAL book comes out next week, I'll get over my irritation. Can't say that the Poodles will because they've been looking forward to attacking them, but whatever.

Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
Grad school is on hold for a bit due to a serious illness in my family. I'm finding escapism from that is more necessary than escape from grad school.
But it is slim pickings from our little library. The statewide eBook consortium has more selection than the library has physical books, and I can read much easier on the Kindle. But the consortium usually has one copy for Kindle and over 100 libraries use it. So it is a long wait for anything good. Mostly on the available for checkout fiction list there is number 7 in whatever series, everything by Danielle Steele, lots of historicals (and grad school in history has made historical fiction less appealing to me), and lots of Christian fiction. So...taking what I can get has meant a lot of crap.
Have you tried a Kindle Lending Group, like the one at GoodReads? http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...attempted=true You might get some better selections that way, although my experience to date has been that the lendable books are usually the same ones that you don't really want to check out of the library--but I don't have a Kindle so maybe Kindle is better.

I'm enjoying "Rhett Butler's People" in spite of all the deaths. I always thought that Rhett was the more interesting character in GWTW and this fleshes out his life for me nicely.
I'd rather be thought of as absolutely ridiculous than as absolutely boring.
Me, I've decided to tackle The Towers of Midnight (WOT book #13), and when I've finished I think I'll have a go at a Bujold. I *should* probably start reading 1Q84 or Cloud Atlas, but I suspect I'll be too knackered to enjoy either one until I've have some rest.

Roto Arcade
All-Rodney Dangerfield: No respect for Romo is downright bafflingBrad Evans at Roto Arcade19 hrs ago
Pads cracking, helmets smashing, coaches yelling – football season has finally returned.
For your team, I Pitta the Fool, the dawn of a new season brings renewed optimism and another chance.
Last year didn't go exactly as planned. Dismantled by injuries and Trent Richardson's unbearable suckiness, 'Fool' was essentially the Houston Texans of your hometown league. Week in and week out, you fielded a ragtag group of boobs that were steamrolled regularly by the competition. If only you would've gone the extra dollar on Peyton Manning in August. Damn that Derek. Damn him. His undercutting ranked right up there with the time he 'borrowed' your Sega CD copy of Bill Walsh College Football only to trade it for five packs of Gobstoppers and a gallon of Mountain Dew.
Vengeance will be yours.
Ohhh yes, vengeance will be yours.

Starting Pitcher Shuffle Up: Julio Teheran makes the leapScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade2 days ago
Here's the latest Shuffle Up from the mound, the starting pitchers. This is the big one. Marinate over the prices. I'll do the same, move a few ranks here and there.
What's happened to this point is an audition, only. We're trying to figure out how to rank the players going forward. Assume a 5x5 scoring system, and players at the same cost are considered even.
And remember the golden rule – a player doesn't gain 15-20 percent of bonus value simply because he's on your roster.
I didn't bother ranking any injured pitchers in this edition. Bluntly put, I have very little faith in any of them for the balance of 2014. They're worth whatever you want them to be, but I'm not trading for them.
To the checkout line.
Spin Doctors: Cordarrelle Patterson vs. Percy Harvin vs. Michael CrabtreeBrandon Funston at Roto Arcade2 days ago
If you look at the Yahoo fantasy wide receiver rankings, you'll find three players (Cordarrelle Patterson, Percy Harvin and Michael Crabtree) bunched together, fighting for the final spots in our top 20. For different reasons (either injury or lack of playing time), all three players offered up incomplete '13 campaigns. As the '14 season approaches, each of these players looks poised to be full season, go-to options for their respective teams. And Yahoos Brad Evans, Dalton Del Don and myself have a difference of opinion when it comes to who we feel is going to best take advantage of their situation.
It's time to fire up the Spin machine and let the doctors debate the merits of this trio ...

Closing Time: Marcus Stroman is here, entertain himScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade3 days ago
Marucs Stroman is owned in just 35 percent of Yahoo leagues? Come on, guys. You're better than that.
When Stroman first got the call to the YYZ, back in May, the club wanted to use him in the bullpen. A handful of blowups ensued, and Stroman returned to his dominating ways in the minors. Since the subsequent recall, Stroman has been ridiculous: 2.21 ERA, 8.1 K/9, 3.93 K/BB, even a snappy 5-2 record.
The only bad start in that run came in Anaheim, and we'll float him a pass for that - the Angels are the No. 2 offense in the majors, after all. The hiccup didn't bother Stroman much - he hasn't allowed a run over his last two turns, covering 14 innings (5 H, 2 BB, 12 K).
Juggernaut Index, No. 21: The New York GiantsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade3 days ago
"I think our offense is broken right now," said John Mara, Giants co-owner, at the conclusion of his team's miserable 2013 campaign.
Soon after, longtime offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride stepped down. Within two weeks, he was replaced by former Green Bay assistant Ben McAdoo. Free agent receiver Hakeem Nicks left for Indianapolis, signing a low-dollar one-year deal following a remarkably poor final season in New York. Running back Andre Brown moved on, as did tight end Brandon Myers. The Giants are also rebuilding an offensive line that did nothing well a year ago — the new line is still a big question mark, but at least it's not the old line.
TE Primer: Versatility key to maximizing scoring potential at tight endBrad Evans at Roto Arcade4 days ago
Weeks ago while you were out sunbathing on the beach, smoking brisket in the backyard or improbably attempting to complete the drinking around the world tour at Epcot, Jimmy Graham was on the verge of changing history.
The Saints' stud, who's humiliated defenses often in his four-year career, was engaged in a position designation battle for the ages. His claim: Due to his overwhelming usage out wide and in the slot, he was more wide receiver than tight end and deserved to be viewed, under a franchise tag, in a similar fashion as the Calvin Johnsons of the football world.
Graham certainly had a point.

Closing Time: Joakim Soria moves to Detroit; Neftali Feliz gets his chanceScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade4 days ago
It's not difficult to unscramble the 2014 Detroit Tigers. They're a good hitting club with a big-name rotation and a horrible bullpen (4.37 ERA). You love watching them hit. You flinch when they try to close out games.
Okay, they're working on that last part.
General Manager Dave Dombrowski knew he needed additions for the back end, so he made a splashy trade Wednesday evening. The Tigers shipped two promising young pitchers, Jake Thompson and Corey Knebel, to Texas. In return, Detroit acquired veteran reliever Joakim Soria. The deal becomes official when all three players pass their physicals.
Closing Time: Jacob deGrom, lights outScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade5 days ago
Here's the deal: you push Jacob deGrom's fantasy ownership past the 50 percent mark, then we can move on to a newer, fresher story. Got it? Good. Get out the ledger, it's time for another Tommy John success story (deGrom missed all of 2011 after having the procedure).
New York's 26-year-old righty has strong overall ratios (3.01 ERA, 1.29 WHIP), but he's been especially electric over the last month. Check deGrom's last six starts: 39.2 IP, 33 H, 7 R, 11 BB, 45 K. Delicious.
And it's not like deGrom is getting crazy luck over that span - the BABIP is a robust .333, and his seasonal FIP is right around his ERA. He's getting terrific results with his 93 mph heater, and he mixes it with a slider, curve and change. Fun to watch, fun to own. And yet, his ownership tag is barely over the 40 percent mark.
Mostly MLB Notes: Talking Jay Bruce and a look around the leagueDalton Del Don at Roto Arcade5 days ago
It's easy to forget now, but Jay Bruce was once THE No. 1 prospect in baseball, and while he's certainly not been a bust, it's safe to say he hasn't exactly lived up to expectations. Still, he averaged 32 homers, 102 RBI, 87 runs scored and 8 steals over the past three seasons, so he's certainly been a valuable fantasy asset. But this is someone with a career .802 OPS despite playing in a home park that's increased home runs for left-handed batters by 23 percent over the past three seasons (only Coors Field and Yankee Stadium have been higher). Entering his age-27 season this year, Bruce currently sports a .221/.302/.393 line, which represents career lows in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. He has helped fantasy owners by already matching his career high with nine steals, but Bruce's K% has risen in each of the past five seasons. He owns a career 0.91 GB/FB ratio yet has posted a 1.34 mark in 2014. As if his season wasn't weird enough, six of Bruce's 15 hits against lefties this season have gone for homers over just 75 at bats. He has four long balls over 215 ABs against righties. He has a .353 slugging percentage on the road, which would rank as No. 142 in baseball overall, behind the likes of sluggers such as Brian Roberts, Jordy Mercer and Gerardo Parra. Bruce has scored one run over his last 10 games, despite hitting cleanup. It's probably safe to say he's going to be much better from here on out, and assuming there's no underlying injury here, I'd recommend buying low just blindly banking on track record, but there's no doubt Bruce has been one of the bigger busts so far this season. He's currently the No. 194 ranked fantasy player.
WR Primer: To the point, PPR leagues changing fantasy draft mentalityBrad Evans at Roto Arcade5 days ago
By nature, fantasy owners are superstitious creatures of habit. Every league has that one guy/gal who believes some celestial force, if appeased properly, will grant their every fantasy wish. Each year at the draft, these are the people who must sit in a particular spot, sip on the same beverage and arrive draped in a well-worn, partially faded Jimmy Clausen Panthers jersey they, for some bizarre reason, are convinced cultivates good fortune.
Apparently, when the phrase "Luck of the Irish" was coined in the latter half of the 19th century it also applied to crappy ex-Notre Dame quarterbacks.
Who knew?
This group of gypsy-like mystics is also overwhelmingly stubborn. Old dogs and Greg Schiano are more apt to learn new tricks. When rule changes are discussed or scoring tweaks are proposed they remain married to tradition, emphatically voting 'NO!' on even the slightest enhancement. In their minds things are fine just the way they are. Why mess with it?

Mineral Wells Index
By Sue Seibert | firstname.lastname@example.com
Last weekend the 50 Year Club of Mineral Wells High School met for their annual get together.
This is a club for MWHS graduates who have been out of high school for 50 years or more. I believe this year we had folks who had graduated from as far back as 1937, and it was a delight to see so many people associated with our local high school, and their spouses, and their children and grandchildren.
I graduated in the class of 1961, so this is only my 51st year, but this year we inducted the class of 1962 into the group.

CHAPEL HILL — It.
Thats why Duke lost at North Carolina Thursday night. They didnt have it.
Its hard to define it, but Mike Krzyzewski said Duke clearly was lacking it.
Whatever the hell that thing is, in the second half, it wasnt in our huddle, Krzyzewski said. When you have it, I thought Carolina had it, and youre going to lose to a team like that.
As far as how Duke goes about finding it in time for Saturdays rematch against No. 1 Syracuse (25-1, 12-1 ACC), Krzyzewski put aside his visible disappointment to deadpan an answer.
Im going to tweet and text and try to have, like, a contest, he said. Maybe we can find it. Weve had it. Its going to be like a game, a party game. If we dont, well get beat on Saturday. Even if you do have it, you can get beat. But, man, thats, to me, the disappointing thing.
That last sentence was punctuated with emotion Krzyzewski lingered over the word man like he couldnt quite believe his team had only managed 15 points in the final 15:07 in the Dean Dome while allowing UNC to shoot 50 percent in the second half.
But it goes beyond the numbers. Duke shot a season-worst 23.1 percent in the second half of its tight win against Maryland last Saturday while the Terrapins shot 46.7 percent in the same span. Krzyzewski, though, was thrilled with the gutty play of his team, and not just because they won.
During that Maryland game, as the Terps had the ball down one with just 18.8 seconds remaining, the Blue Devils gathered to discuss strategy while the referees went to the monitor. The coaches were mostly quiet.
While we were waiting, all of our players said it wasnt anything we said as coaches all our players were just saying, Coach, we said it was going to end up on defense, lets play defense. Krzyzewski said then. It was all the guys saying that. And then they made that happen. They took ownership of that last possession. Thats a beautiful thing when that happens.
There were no such moments in the second half against UNC.
Instead, it was Krzyzewski trying to strike some life into the Blue Devils. It never came, though, and the Tar Heels left with a victory that sent their students spilling onto the court.
We didnt fight the way we should have in the second half, Tyler Thornton said after the game. Thats on us. But weve got a quick turnaround, weve got a big game on Saturday.
The Blue Devils hadnt even begun to prepare for Syracuse as of Thursday night.
Were just taking it one game at a time during this stretch, Thornton said, referring to Dukes run of four games in eight days. Thats the only way you can. You cant look ahead, you cant look back, youve just got to move forward. Once we leave this gym, its onto the next thing. Its on to Syracuse.
The Tar Heels kept the Blue Devils off balance by mixing in a 1-3-1 zone defense with their traditional man-to-man look, and Duke struggled to adjust. The Orange will bring their traditional 2-3 zone, one that Duke made a season-high 15 3s against in the 91-89 overtime loss Feb. 1.
But many of Dukes shots fell short Thursday, perhaps a sign of tired arms and legs. Still, the Blue Devils insist energy will not be an issue Saturday.
Its easy, Quinn Cook said. Syracuse beat us. Thats enough motivation. And then we lost today. We have two reasons to come out on Saturday focused.

Paramedics took a man to a local hospital Wednesday morning after a solo car crash on a rural stretch of road a few miles west of the Novato city limits, sources said.
The 2012 Ford Fiesta was heading south on a Novato Boulevard straightaway west of Stafford Lake County Park and east of the Point Reyes-Petaluma Road when it struck a pole and rolled onto its side, said engineer Bryan Lewis of Marin County Fire Department's Hicks Valley Station.
Megan Cooper, the first person who came upon the wreck, said the driver — 46-year-old Jason Meyerson of Point Reyes Station — walked away from the crash mostly unhurt — with just a cut on his hand.
"He told me it was because he'd been wearing his seatbelt and because his airbags deployed," she said. "Talk about a lucky break!"
Meyerson told first-responders that he was reaching for an object when the car went off the right side of the road and down a slight hillside. As the Fiesta went down the hillside, it turned onto its side and then blasted through a fence that borders the road, investigators said. The Fiesta continued sliding until it collided with a wooden power pole, causing the live power lines and phone lines to fall into the roadway.
Novato Fire District paramedics arrived and placed the man on a straight board as a precaution, a firefighter said. He was transported to Kaiser in Terra Linda.
Traffic on Novato Boulevard was limited to one lane from 7:20-9:50 a.m. while emergency crews cleared the scene, the CHP said. PG&E and Verizon cleared the wires from the road and PG&E started replacing the wires and pole.

Satin Finish
The runways certainly showed this trend, notably front-runners Prada and Miu Miu who went gangbusters with the fabric. The latter even took the satin to the soles, showing color-blocked shoes, like the purple and champagne heel above. Other exemplary offerings were seen at Phillip Lim and Lanvin, both above.
Right now loads of ladies are bringing satin front and center by wearing dresses in either jewel tones (like Lindsay Lohan, far left, in pink, and Mandy Moore, far right, in royal blue) or dark neutrals (brown and grey in particular). Neutrals look especially fresh when you add a rich-colored accessoryÂ--like Margherita MissoniÂ's red shoes, above, with her gold frock. ItÂ's no surprise that the stylish-beyond-her-years Camilla Belle knocked this look out of the ballpark at a recent fashion show, when she showed up in this saffron Vera Wang ($2350, net-a-porter.com). And with that, weÂ'll make our satin finish and say good-bye!
