Using vague, unattributed sources, he insinuated that LA Times columnist Tim Rutten might have been recently laid off because of mistakes made on the job (a charge Rutten gently denied).This time around on the LA Times beat, Lang is on much more solid exclusive footing. He has the skinny on an ugly bit of litigation filed against the newspaper in May by entertainment biz photographer David Strick, who freelanced for the paper up until 2010 and now works with the Hollywood Reporter. The artist is not buying the LA Times argument that he surrendered ownership of his work by uploading it to the company's content management system (CMS):Strick does not set a figure for the damages he believes he's owed, but he alleges that the Tribune Company and its television stations and various papers have published at least 174 of his photos illegally. He cites at least 510 violations of his copyrights.Ed Greenberg, an attorney for the photographer, told TheWrap that each infringement could come with an award for as much as $150,000.It's unlikely that Strick will get anywhere near $26.1 million in damages (174 X $150,000) if this thing goes his way. Still, for the PR folks at the LA Times, a miserable summer continues.Previously on FishbowlLA: Tim Rutten Interviews Rile LA Times[Party-of-the-first-part pic used with permission, courtesy DavidStrick.com] Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kLRkzs copy Adweek Adweek

I thought I would have some free time after the holiday show season ended, but I find I'm just as busy as before! Which is a good thing, but it is an odd feeling to be overwhelmed by projects I am looking forward to.
I have a few things to do which were put on hold for the holidays along with a whole plethora of new ideas coursing through my brain.
Three New Year's Resolutions:
1) To print and list many new cards like I make from the watercolors my mom creates.
We currently have over 20 designs available, but there are so many more I haven't even shown you yet! It's very exciting. In other exciting news: I have eliminated US shipping fees on all of mom's cards! That's right! FREE SHIPPING on these gorgeous cards!
2) To construct and list nest pins
from all the new colors of wool I bought with my holiday show earnings, and then to make all the other things I make from the nests: pincushions, bobby pins and rings.
3) Refill my DeStash shop on Etsy, I have many cute supplies that are needing new crafty homes.
Whew! That's enough for now, there's so much more going on, but the only way I'll make it through is by taking tiny bites. And making lists, lots of lists.

So sweet of you to feature our cards on your blog. If you didn't make them into cards, the drawings would not have nearly such an exciting life.ReplyDelete
Nor would I.
Liz -- Your productivity and creativity so inspire me! Good luck with this new crafty year.ReplyDelete
Good luck with all your new projects, and have a super 2009! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks so much Mom, Robin and Cindy! Just knowing people are following my progress is encouraging :)ReplyDelete

A badger in England unearthed a cremation burial near the mysterious Stonehenge archaeological site while digging its den or sett. The Bronze Age objects were found in a burial mount at Netheravon, in Wiltshire – a county in southwest England. They included objects that archaeologists speculate may have belonged to an archer or a fletcher.
Archaeologists found a bronze saw, an archer's wrist guard, as well as a copper chisel hafted in a bone handle. There were cremated human remains in a pottery vessel found at the site were they had been hidden for 4,000 years.
Funerary urn
Senior archaeologist Richard Osgood of Britain's Ministry of Defence said that the artifacts have been dated to 2200-2000 BC. The objects were found at a burial mound approximately five miles north of Stonehenge on land owned by the MOD. Osgood said it was an exciting find. "It was utterly unexpected. These are wonderful artefacts from the early Bronze Age, about 2,200-2,000 BC," he said.
Bronze chisel and bone handle
Other objects found by the archaeologists were shaft straighteners for straightening out arrows, as well as pottery shards.
The discovery was made by a badger. Badgers are known for digging into burial mounts and ancient structures, sometimes endangering their stability. Osgood said that the badger had dug out the cremation urn and left claw marks on it. Pottery sherds were found lyng on the surface when they were spotted.
Bronze archer's wristguard and arrow straighteners
"There are badger setts in quite a few scheduled monuments," Osgood said, "the actions of burrowing animals is one of the biggest risks to archaeology in Britain - but to bring out items of this quality from one hole is unusual."
Bronze saw
"We would never have known these objects were in there, so there's a small part of me that is quite pleased the badger did this... but it probably would have been better that these things had stayed within the m As it was digging, it encountered some unusual obstacles–which, being a badger, it dug right through.
Pottery shard unearthed in Wiltshire
It was a local man, Tom Theed, who saw the pile of debris that the badger had dug up from the ground. When he noticed pieces of pottery, he let authorities know.
Britain's Ministry of Defence offered employment to Injured military personnel and veterans at the site. helped to excavate the site. Artifacts from the site will be put on display at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes later this year.
Despite the celebrity status of the badger involved with the historic find, badgers are not otherwise popular in the rural areas of England. They have been linked to the spread of deadly tuberculosis in cattle, causing significant losses to stockmen. In Somerset, Gloucestershire, North Devon, and Cornwall farmers are seeking to obtain licenses to kill the striped critters despite opposition from animal rights activists.

Created by Ideal Standard designer, Robin Levien, Tesi is a cross category solution, with options which work perfectly in family bathrooms, cloakrooms and en-suites alike. All of the toilet bowls within the Tesi collection are fitted with AquaBlade flushing technology, offering the best aesthetic on the market with superior hygiene, less splashing and noise reduction. With AquaBlade, the toilet flushes from the top of the bowl, washing the entire inner surface with no tricky to clean overhanging rim, and is unique to Ideal Standard products. This ease of maintenance is transferred across all elements of the collection's design. Hidden fixations on the wall hung bowl and bidet create a clean, luxurious look; a first at such an affordable price point. Even the toilet seats, a detail which could be easy to overlook, have been crafted with the customer in mind. The soft close option features a quick release take off mechanism, making cleaning hassle free for the end user. There are five basin options. With a range as wide as Tesi, scaling down for the smallest room is no problem. There are cloakroom options available, the pure and simple design adapting to smaller sizes with ease. There are 45cm, 50cm, 55cm and 60cm basin options, with a choice of full and semi pedestals. There is also a 55cm semi-countertop option for those wanting to install furniture. Tesi ceramics integrate seamlessly with Tempo's elegant and practical bathroom furniture. The intelligently conceived range of Tempo furniture pieces brings smart discreet storage to busy bathrooms. With a comprehensive range of units, there is a configuration to fit any room layout. Neutral, yet unquestionably contemporary, the Sandy Grey and Gloss White finish complement Tesi's sleek contours. Ceramic and furniture elements integrate harmoniously for a beautifully streamlined effect. Soft close doors and drawers bring a satisfying sense of effortlessness to the whole experience Tesi mixers express quality, style and versatility in equal measure. Characterised by clean geometric lines and counterbalanced by soft, round forms, they perfectly complement the stylistic qualities of Tesi Ceramics. There is a wide range to choose from, each having a perfect home in the right bathroom. There are four basin mixers: tall, mini, standard or built-in. All are wonderfully slim in design and feature a ceramic disc cartridge to control the flow and temperature of water with impeccable precision. The two tap hole bath filler and bath shower mixer co-ordinate with the basin mixers perfectly. With a light touch of the diverter, you can switch from bath fill to the single function Idealrain shower. While you are showering, the clever 'follow me' swivel outlet keeps the hose well out of the way. With their flat, linear edges and bold semi-circular back rest, Tesi baths have a pure geometric form that will sit harmoniously within so many of today's bathrooms. Available in 160cm x 70cm and 170cm x 70cm. There is also a water-saving option, which doesn't compromise on the bathing experience – with a lowered overflow, enabling water restriction to 139 litres. Ideal Standard International designer, Robin Levien, said: "Tesi delivers the perfect combination of functionality, affordability and beautiful aesthetics. The collection uses contemporary shapes to update a design classic, creating a range of produc ts which can be used to build a bathroom that is unique to its owner, while providing the ease of maintenance and timeless appeal that many end users look to obtain from their home décor. "This new collection, which launches as part of KBB Live in March 2016, is also the first from Ideal Standard's Essentials Collection to feature revolutionary AquaBlade technology as standard. " Any element of this collection can be coupled with other suites for an individual final result that provides the perfect hit of classic with a twist." Share ! tweet

Philippine Agricultural Engineering Standards (PAES)
- Details
- Category: Uncategorised
- Published: 10 February 2016
- Hits: 23201
The centerpiece program of the government in poverty alleviation, food security, rationale use of resources, global competitiveness, and sustainable development is the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA). A close examination of the major tenets of AFMA points to a very heavy reliance on the support from the field of agricultural engineering. Overall, AFMA places high priority on the following agricultural engineering technologies: irrigation, postharvest, structures, rural electrification, mechanization, alternative energy, domestic water supply, farm roads and bridges.
In responding to the challenge, sound agricultural engineering principles and practices are required in the planning, design, construction, operation and optimization of agricultural engineeringtechnologies, systems and services. At the onset, the availability of Philippine Agricultural Engineering Standards (PAES)is required to ensure to a great extent the success of agricultural engineering projects in terms of technical performance.
However, in the Philippines, the development of agricultural engineering standards has not been given due attention.The practice of agricultural engineering standards has been based on standards from the US and other countries whose appropriateness to Philippine conditions have not been verified. At most, what we have locally are Philippine standards for selected machines such as power tillers, rice threshers, rice mills, corn shellers, and grain dryers. Philippine standards for irrigation; structures for crops, livestock and fisheries; and alternative energy are non-existent. And the standards for rural electrification, domestic water supply, farm roads and bridges are lodged in other engineering fields and not with agricultura engineering.
Development of standards for agricultural engineering in the Philippines started in the late 1970's with the Bureau of Product Standards of the Department of Trade and Industry creating the Technical Committee on Machinery for agriculture and forestry (BPS/TC56). Later, BPS/TC56 was replaced by TC 19 and the Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation Center (AMTEC) was designated as its official writing office. Pursuant to Articles 5 and 6, Chapter I, Title II of Republic Act No. 7394, otherwise known as the Consumer Act of the Philippines, standards development and its implementation was identified to three agencies: Department of Agriculture (agricultural products), Department of Health (drugs, cosmetics, devices and substances) and Department of Trade and Industry (other products not covered by the two agencies).
It is stated in Rule 59.1 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 8435, otherwise known as Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act of 1997 or AFMA that AMTEC may be designated by the Department of Agriculture to issue standards for agriculture and fisheries machinery. On 30 May 2001, the DA secretary issued Administrative Order No. 11 series of 2001 stating that standard specifications and test procedures of agricultural machinery shall be developed. AMTEC, in partnership with the PSAE and concerned DA agencies, shall be charged with formulation and development of the official agriculture and fisheries machinery standards. Such standards, to be known as the "Philippine Standards for Agriculture and Fisheries Machinery" shall be subjected to public hearings by the NAFC through its Agricultural and Fisheries Mechanization Committee (AFMeC), prior to its approval by the Secretary of Agriculture.
There is an urgent need to develop our Philippine Agricultural Engineering Standards. Existing Philippine National Standards for Agricultural Engineering developed more than 10-20 years ago must be updated. Pending draft standards must be pursued and become PAES. Some sections of Philippine National Standards of related engineering fields such as electrical, civil, chemical, and mechanical engineering must be reviewed and modified for applicability to agricultural engineering. International standards for agricultural engineering must be reviewed and modified to suit Philippine conditions. New standards unique to the needs of AFMA must be written.
The University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR), Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension (BPRE), Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD), Professional Regulation Commission - Board of Agricultural Engineers (PRC-BOAE) and the Philippine Society of Agricultural Engineers (PSAE) upon realization of the dire need for standards, initiated projects that will develop a set of Philippine National Standards for Agricultural Engineering to contribute to agricultural modernization, national development and global competitiveness. The Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation Center (AMTEC) of UPLB is implementing these projects.

Mentoring is my method to help you achieve your goals—personal, business or other—through clarifying what your goal really is, what you need to get done to achieve that goal, and through reducing or removing the obstacles that may be in your way.
One very important aspect of mentoring is helping you keep your commitment to improve. By continuously supporting and keeping your focus on activities that bring you closer to your goals, I help you from drifting away to some other things that may seem more urgent, even though they are less important. Here we use the Eisenhower's method to evaluate the tasks by their urgency and importance.
Keeping in regular contact with my clients and working regularly with them keeps their eyes on the ball, and helps them make the commitment that they have made to achieving their own goals.
The first step is always to clarify what your goal really is and what is the real motivation behind it. Now borrowing from Stephen Covey's second of seven habits of highly effective people: begin with the end in mind. Let's place the goalposts, so that we know very well what your success looks like, and then it will be easier to get there. Very often clients have this urge to change things because they are not happy with some aspect of their life, be it their career, health, relationships, or what have you. Working together, we can make it more clear what needs to change, and is it within your field of influence or not.
Then we determine how do you get there. What you need to do in order to come closer to your goal, and finally to achieve it. There is always a series of steps that leads towards that goal, and in many cases there are several tracks that need to be worked on more or less in parallel. For example, to get certified, a client that doesn't meet the knowledge and experience requirements would have to work on both those areas in parallel, doing the training and collecting contact hours to meet the education criteria, while also at the same time managing projects and collecting hours of experience to meet that criteria.
During the process we usually discover some gaps in skills that should be overcome as they present the obstacle to achieving the goal. For project managers those are mostly related to so-called hard project management skills and techniques, largely described in the PMBOK Guide—like planning techniques, change management procedures, or strategies for mitigating risks. But more and more so the gaps are in the soft skills area, which are related to communication and leadership, like active listening, presentation skills, or negotiation techniques. The third important area is strategic and business management, as very well described in the PMI Talent Triangle.
Another important area where I can help is your environment. Your workplace, your email inbox, the tools you are using. Those can be set up so that you waste a lot of time by working with them, or they can be set up to help you work more efficiently. I can mentor you to set them up properly.
And last but not least, I can help you win your mental game. Overcoming some possible barriers that you yourself put in front of you, and they limit your progress. Maybe you are afraid of speaking in public, or your self-confidence has been quite low recently, or you are afraid to talk to your boss about your well deserved salary raise. Many of those insecurities can be removed by discussing the best approach and by practicing how to behave in certain situations.
Interested in me mentoring you? Reach out to me through any of the channels listed on the about page and let's talk about it. Every person is special and different, and so are you, and you need a program that is tailored just for you. Let's connect and take you to your success!

Even with Urban Meyer suspended for the first three games of the season, Ohio State and the entire Big Ten will have arguably the biggest impact on the College Football Playoff race this fall, according to ESPN's Playoff Predictor.
Ohio State and Auburn will combine to play in the six of the seven most important games of the season, and five of the eight games with the biggest impact on the CFP race will feature two Big Ten teams. Ohio State's games against Michigan State, Penn State and Michigan are each amongst the seven most important games -- and Meyer will be coaching in all of them -- along with Auburn's games against Washington, Georgia and Alabama.
"It's one after the other," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said of the league's lineup. "That's the challenge of the nine [conference] games, and especially in a league that is as physical and as well-coached as ours. I don't think people really understand. Maryland goes down and wins at Texas before they get beat up [in-conference]. Purdue goes down and has a chance to beat a pretty good Louisville team early. You have Indiana going to Virginia and winning decisively there. There are good examples of the strength of the middle. It's as challenging a league at the top and the middle as there is, yet it is a game of winning, and there's never been a team with two losses in the playoff."
There could have been, though.
Had Auburn defeated Georgia in the SEC championship game last year, there is little if any doubt that the Tigers would have become the first two-loss team in the four years of the playoff. Auburn had redeemed itself in the eyes of the committee from road losses at Clemson and LSU with stunning upsets of then-No. 1 Georgia and then-No. 1 Alabama. The Tigers were the committee's No. 2 team heading into the SEC championship.
"I felt like last year we played the toughest schedule in college football," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "Clemson was our opponent, and now it's Washington. At least we've been there, done that, in terms of strength of schedule."
Now the Tigers have to do it again.
Auburn's strength of schedule entering the season is No. 30 in the country, according to ESPN's FPI, but it's very similar to 2017 in terms of the marquee games. The Week 1, top-10 matchup between Auburn and Washington isn't a must-win, but it will put enormous pressure on the loser for the rest of the season. Auburn can lose -- its Week 2 loss to Clemson last year wasn't a knockout blow -- but it still has to play SEC East favorite Georgia in Week 11, and Alabama in the Iron Bowl in Week 13.
"Everything we went through last year, we get a lot of great leadership back," Malzahn said. "There were a lot of ups and downs last year. We had a very tough loss against LSU. Our guys recovered, I was real proud of the way they did that and the way we made that run. And then we came up a little bit short. And when you come up a little short and you almost reach your goal, it has a way of motivating you.
"Our guys have a good understanding of our schedule," he said. "They have a good understanding of what we're up against, and what we have to do, and then you throw in the fact of Washington with the talent they have and the head coach they have -- there's a lot of respect from our players and coaches with their program. It's going to be a good one."
In spite of its grueling schedule, Auburn is one of the 10 teams most likely to reach the playoff, according to ESPN's Playoff Predictor, but the Tigers are also the only team in that group projected to have more than two losses (3.1).
Washington (10 percent) is given a higher chance to win the national title than Auburn (3 percent), and Ohio State remains the Big Ten's best hope (9 percent). The Buckeyes, following the conclusion of a two-week investigation that led to a three-game suspension of their head coach, are still favored in all of their games, with the exception of the Penn State game, which the Buckeyes have a 49 percent chance to win, according to ESPN's FPI.
Last year, Ohio State won the Big Ten and finished No. 5 at 11-2. In 2016, Penn State won the Big Ten but finished No. 5 at 11-2. That year, though, the Buckeyes earned the No. 3 spot at 11-1 in spite of not winning their division.
"We've advocated very hard for champions and strength of schedule should be the leading tiebreakers amongst similar teams," Delany said. "We've tried to avoid complaining, whining or attacking. That's not our style, it's never been our style."
The Big Ten will have plenty of other opportunities to make a statement, starting with Michigan's opener against Notre Dame. The Irish are also listed as one of the top 10 teams most likely to reach the playoff, along with Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State.
"I know this league should be represented," said Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell. "We're arguably the top conference in the entire college football, so it's tough to see the conference left out last year."
At the very least, the Big Ten will still impact who's in.

The technique of supplying an alternate layout to use for rows
handles simple cases very nicely. However, what if we want the icon to
change based on the row data? For example, suppose we want to use one
icon for small words and a different icon for large words. In the case
of ArrayAdapter, we will need to extend it, creating our own custom subclass (e.g., IconicAdapter) that incorporates our business logic. In particular, it will need to override getView().
The getView() method of an Adapter is what an AdapterView (like ListView or Spinner) calls when it needs the View associated with a given piece of data the Adapter is managing. In the case of an ArrayAdapter, getView() is called as needed for each position in the array—"get me the View for the first row," "get me the View for the second row," and so forth.
As an example, let's rework the code in the preceding section to use getView(), so we can show different icons for different rows—in this case, one icon for short words and one for long words (from the FancyLists/Dynamic sample project):
public class DynamicDemo extends ListActivity {
TextView selection;
private static final String[] items={"lorem", "ipsum", "dolor",
"sit", "amet",
"consectetuer", "adipiscing", "elit", "morbi", "vel",
"ligula", "vitae", "arcu", "aliquet", "mollis",
"etiam", "vel", "erat", "placerat", "ante",
"porttitor", "sodales", "pellentesque", "augue", "purus"};
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
setListAdapter(new IconicAdapter());
public void onListItemClick(ListView parent, View v,
int position, long id) {
class IconicAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
IconicAdapter() {
super(DynamicDemo.this, R.layout.row, R.id.label, items);
public View getView(int position, View convertView,
ViewGroup parent) {
View row=super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
ImageView icon=(ImageView)row.findViewById(R.id.icon);
if (items[position].length()>4) {
else {
Our IconicAdapter—an inner class of the activity—has two methods. First, it has the constructor, which simply passes to ArrayAdapter the same data we used in the ArrayAdapter constructor in StaticDemo. Second, it has our getView() implementation, which does two things:
It chains to the superclass's implementation of getView(), which returns to us an instance of our row View, as prepared by ArrayAdapter. In particular, our word has already been put into the TextView, since ArrayAdapter does that normally.
It finds our ImageView and applies a business rule to set which icon should be used, referencing one of two drawable resources (R.drawable.ok and R.drawable.delete).
The result of our revised example is shown in Figure 1.


text: David Warner revealed the febrile atmosphere on the field during the first Test when he gave his damning verdict on England's batsmen, and Trott in particular, when asked a gentle question by an Australian journalist. "Our bowlers are bowling fast at the moment. It does look like they have scared eyes and the way Trotty got out was pretty poor and weak. He (Trott) has worked hard in the nets on the short ball. When trying to face a 150kph short ball from Mitchell Johnson, the way to go is not back away." Warner did not know of Trott's health problems, but England were appalled and it soured relationships until the end of the series.

Anti-Zionists: The proud "anti-racist" racists
Anti-Zionists tend to react with indignation at any hint of accusations of anti-Semitism. This is understandable, since anti-Zionists view themselves as spearheads against racism and injustice. How can they possibly be anti-Semites when some of their "best friends" are Jews? Let us ignore that these "Jewish friends" constitute a tiny minority of world Jewry and their supposedly "Jewish identity" is mainly manifested through their opposition to anything Jewish, especially a tiny sliver of land on the eastern Mediterranean known as Israel.
Anti-Zionists weep while watching Schindler's List and commemorate the Holocaust, while warning that Israel is committing "genocide" against Gaza and threatening humanity. Never mind that unlike the Jews of Europe, the population of Gaza has quadrupled — to a large degree due to continuous infusion of cruel Zionist humanitarian aid, food and health care. Math was never the anti-Zionists' strong subject in school.
Neither was history. This sliver of land which anti-Zionists refer to as the "foreign Zionist entity" is saturated with 3,000 years of continuous Jewish history and has never been the homeland of any nation other than the Jews. Anti-Zionists know better and lament the "occupation" of the "indigenous Palestinian nation" whose proud and supposedly ancient history still remains to be uncovered by archeologists. The Roman emperor Hadrian, who fathered the term "Palestine" as a rejection of the obstinate entity Judea, probably never anticipated that his intellectual offspring would become the coveted name for a diverse group of 19th and 20th century Arabic-speaking immigrants who somehow overnight became "indigenous" since time immemorial.
Many are still waiting in anticipation for Arabian Nights storyteller Saeb Erekat to point out which Jericho cave his ancestors lived in 10,000 years ago. Conveniently forgotten is the fact that Erekat's family arrived during the last century — like most Arab immigrants to the Land of Israel, drawn to the economic revival caused by wicked Zionist Jews. Hundred years or ten thousand years, what difference will a few zeros make among friends? The world embraces Erekat's supposedly peaceful boss Abbas, whose areas of expertise are Holocaust-denial and imaginary moderation. Abbas speaks of the need of flushing out the Zionist "cancer" with millions of foreign Arabs with such benign eloquence that it would land him a job in a coveted American detergent commercial.
Geography is another subject that anti-Zionists skipped in school. If the Middle East and North Africa regions were a soccer stadium, the supposedly giant Zionist empire would extend menacingly along the line between two goal posts while the Arab and Muslim world would be crammed into a claustrophobic area covering the rest of the stadium.
It is when talking about the Zionist "occupation" and "aggression" that the anti-Zionists feel that they are on their home turf. In contrast to historically pacified Jews in European and Middle Eastern ghettos who knew their proper place, the obnoxious Zionists have the nerve demanding equality and national independence. As avid sport fans, anti-Zionists run the extra mile explaining that firing Qassam rockets from schools at Zionist kinder gardens and running tunnel marathons with explosives, machetes and machine guns into Israel is as natural in Gaza as soccer is in Italy. Denying this proud Gazan sport tradition would naturally be discriminatory and the one thing that anti-Zionists detest more than anything else is racism.
The Egyptian arch terrorist and father of plane hijackings, Yasser Arafat, was a visionary man who saw the need to establish his "liberation" organization in 1964, three years before there was any "occupation" of his make-believe country. If only the Zionists would end the "occupation" and retreat to a temporary floor in Tel Aviv's Azrieli tower, the Middle East would be as pleasant as Canada. How could the tone deaf Zionists possibly have missed all the peace hymns emanating from PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS and Iran?
Anti-Zionists often feel misunderstood and their hobby vilified. Their ideological ancestor, the German journalist Wilhelm Marr felt the same way. Like today's anti-Zionists, Marr denied that he was a Jew-hater, a term that he considered unsophisticated and rather crude. Instead, he rebranded his hobby in 1879 as "anti-Semitism", which gave it an aura of supposed science and respectability.
The Holocaust, which Obama's Iranian genocide-seeking partners insist never took place, forced this passionate and lethal hobby through another rebranding campaign, this time as anti-Zionism. Yesterday's anti-Semites who wanted a Jew-free world, were of course not Jew-haters but acted out of concern for humanity's racial hygiene and wellbeing. An Austrian corporal and failed art student documented this in his work Mein Kampf, which today is a bestseller in the Middle East and mandatory reading for anyone doubting the wickedness of the Jews, sorry, Zionists.
Today's anti-Zionists who seek a world freed of the Jewish state, naturally don't see themselves driven by Jew-hatred either. As self-appointed anti-racists par excellence, the anti-Zionists consider themselves as owners of the keys to eternal peace, harmony and justice for humanity. If only the Zionist snake would be driven out of the anti-Zionist' Garden of Eden, everything would supposedly be fine.
The problem with the anti-Zionist version of the Garden of Eden is that it is strongly reminiscent of hell with the anti-Zionists being the devil's helpers. If there are still any apples left hanging from the maltreated Tree of Knowledge, the lesson for humankind is that Jew-hatred in any shape is a lethal and poisonous weed, which if left unchecked threatens the well-being of Jews and non-Jews. Bigotry and prejudice know no boundaries and history has repeatedly shown that what starts as a "Jewish problem" quickly becomes a world problem.

Company History
South Africa is a water scarce country and the agricultural sector utilizes more than 50% of the available water resources in the country. The irrigation fraterninty is constantly being challenged to manage water demand and implement more effective irrigation methods.
It is for this reason that Prof. Lourens Hiemstra focused on developing a new generation sprinkler.
The Floppy Sprinkler provides a unique combination of cost and performance efficiency benefits and has been independently tested by the SA Institute for Agricultural Engineering, confirming water and energy savings compared to conventional irrigation systems.
From its humble beginnings the demand for the Floppy Sprinkler has increased extensively and the Floppy Sprinkler is now patented in 34 countries.
Since Floppy Sprinkler started a new advertising campaign in popular agricultural magazines towards the end of last year more than 10,000 ha's of new enquiries have been received.
Recently Floppy Sprinkler hosted field days in the Gamtoos Valley, Graaff-Reinet, Richmond and Douglas.

So how does cascading work in deegree? First of all, there's an abstract concept of a remote OWS data source. Currently there is only a WMS implementation, but more will follow. That means a remote WMS can be a resource in the workspace. That resource can then be used in your WMS configuration as a data source for a layer.
One important consequence is that one remote WMS data source means one data source. Although a WMS might typically have multiple layers and the config allows you to select multiple layers for cascading, it's still one resource. Let's have a look at an example:
<RemoteWMSStore xmlns="http://www.deegree.org/datasource/remoteows/wms"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.deegree.org/datasource/remoteows/wms remotewms.xsd"
It's always required to specify a capabilities document. This can also be a local file instead of a request. Then you can specify one or more requested layers. That's it, everything else (available crs, formats etc.) will be determined from the capabilities.
Now to actually make it available as WMS layer in deegree just add a layer with the datasource ID:
<wms:RequestableLayer> <wms:Name>zipcodes</wms:Name> <wms:Title>Utah ZipCodes</wms:Title> <wms:RemoteWMSStoreId>zipcodes</wms:RemoteWMSStoreId> </wms:RequestableLayer>And that's that, you're done.
But imagine the remote WMS has a slow png implementation, and you want to always request the map as jpeg. Also, transformation is broken and you want to let deegree always reproject the raster image. That's easy:
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.deegree.org/datasource/remoteows/wms remotewms.xsd"
location="http://deegree3-testing.deegree.org/deegree-utah-demo/services?request=capabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1" />
<ImageFormat transparent="false">image/jpeg</ImageFormat>
<DefaultCRS useAlways="true">EPSG:4326</DefaultCRS>
Please note that deegree will automatically reproject anyway, if the requested crs is not available in the remote WMS. Setting useAlways to true as in the example will force reprojection even for crs that the remote WMS claims to know.
The configuration you've seen so far is a kind of configuration where you tell deegree what you want to achieve on a high level. That's pretty nice, but sometimes one wants control on a lower level. Imagine you want to send a vendor specific parameter for all requests.
Let's say you really like red backgrounds:
<DefaultRequestOptions> <ImageFormat transparent="false">image/jpeg</ImageFormat> <Parameter use="allowOverride" scope="GetMap" name="bgcolor">0xff0000</Parameter> </DefaultRequestOptions>In this case, you'll have a red background as default, and the user can override it using BGCOLOR in a GetMap request. If the use-attribute is set to fixed, the parameter's value will always be used. The scope-attribute can be set to GetMap, GetFeatureInfo and All.
The DefaultRequestOptions block can also occur within a RequestedLayer section (named RequestOptions). In that case, the store will not request the layers in a single request, but will do multiple requests and combine them into a single map. That enables you to combine layers with different options, such as when two layers should be requested in different crs.
Last but not least, some WMS need authentication. Currently, only HTTP Basic is supported:
Another note on why cascading might be useful is WMS implementations that don't support proper GML output for featureinfo. deegree will read in the broken format and serve proper GML. There are currently workarounds for ArcIMS and MyWMS, but others should be easy to add. Just drop me a note.
I hope that provides some insight on how to use deegree for cascading WMS. For a couple of examples you can check out the deegree-wms-remoteows-test module.
Edit: sorry for the crappy XML formatting, I'm still trying to figure out how to use blogger...

What can you say about the latest John Kerry foul up ...
It's hard to make fun of the man because every time you put him in front of a mic or on camera he manages to do it for himself.
This last one is a doozy though:
and his "apology" isn't much better.
Here, let me summarize for you, "It's all Bush's fault!" oh yeah and "Republicans are chickenhawks!".
I'm sure every Conservative blogger was thinking the same thing as me, "When did Iowahawk become John Kerry's speech writer?"
I'm not quite sure how exactly but he did manage to keep a straight face while blaming the Republican war machine for his attack on the men and women serving in the US Armed Forces. Sadly, many on the far left will accept that explanation whole heartedly, not even bothering to try and reason out for themselves how exactly GWB, Dick Chaney or Rush Limbaugh could have made him say the things he said. My guess, they'll blame Rove.
Hot Air has Bush's statement on the matter.

Major General Philip Kearny
Union Major General Philp Kearny lost an arm in the Mexican War and commanded French troops in the Italian War. Philip Kearny had the most combat experience of any General of either side at the start of the Civil War. Kearny took command of the First New Jersey Brigade, and trained it to be an efficient fighting force. At the Battle of Williamsburg, Kearny led a charge against Confederate troops with a sword in his one hand, and the reins of his horse in his teeth. He was beloved and respected by common soldiers. In August, 1862, General Philip Kearny led his division at the Second Battle of Manassas, which saw the Union Army routed and nearly destroyed. Kearny retreated toward Washington and fought the pursuing Confederates on September 1, 1862, at the Battle of Chantilly.
Responding to warnings about his safety, he said, "The Rebel bullet that can kill me has not yet been molded." Encountering Confederate troops, Kearny refused a demand to surrender and was shot while trying to retreat. He died instantly. Confederate Maj. General A.P. Hill said, "…he deserved a better fate than to die in the mud." Kearny's body was sent to the Union line by Robert E. Lee under a flag of truce, and his death was mourned by officers on both sides. Kearny's body was embalmed and sent north for burial. Embalming methods advanced rapidly during the war. Dr. Thomas Holmes received a commission from the Army Medical Corps to embalm the corpses of dead Union officers to return to their families. Military authorities also permitted private embalmers to work in military-controlled areas.
Kearny was buried in New York. In 1912, his remains were exhumed and re-interred at Arlington National Cemetery. The re-interment drive was spearheaded by Charles F. Hopkins, who had served under Kearny. There is a statue in Kearny's honor at Arlington National Cemetery, one of only two equestrian statues at Arlington. The statue was dedicated by President Woodrow Wilson in November, 1914. The statue was refurbished in 1996 by the non-profit New Jersey, General Philip Kearny Memorial Committee.

Now that apples are coming into season, I love to use them in salads whenever possible. I also love using dandelion seeds because they are great for cleansing your liver, and who doesn't need a bit of a liver cleanse every now and again? Dandelion leaves, however, can be a bit bitter, so I like to saute them and then pair them with the sweetness of a crisp apple. This salad takes a few minutes to throw together and makes a perfect fall lunch or dinner appetizer.
1 can organic garbanzo beans*
2tbsp coconut or canola oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/4tsp red pepper chili flakes
2 cups dandelion leaves, washed and removed from stems
2 medium crisp apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped.
Balsamic vinegar (make sure it's aged vinegar, as in the thick, syrupy stuff).
Sea salt and pepper
* I love Eden Foods for canned beans because their quality is excellent and they are one of the few companies that don't use BPA in the linings of their cans.
Rinse and drain the garbanzo beans
Heat the oil in a large skillet
Add the garlic, chili flakes and leaves. Saute over a medium heat until the leaves have really wilted. Remove from heat.
Arrange the garbanzo beans on a dish and top with the wilted greens. Pile the apple pieces on top and drizzle with a little fruity balsamic vinegar.
Season with flaky sea salt and pepper.

For the third straight game, the UConn Huskies men's basketball team found themselves in quite a hole early on.
And with this coming against the No. 1 overall seed the Florida Gators this time around, it wasn't going to be an easy task. But just like they had done in the previous two, the Huskies found a way to do something magical.
DeAndre Daniels had a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds to lead UConn past Florida 63-53 to advance the 2014 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game on Monday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.
The Huskies will take on the Kentucky Wildcats who beat the Wisconsin Badgers 74-73 in the second game.
UConn improves to 31-8 while Florida finishes their season at 36-3. Two of the Gators' three losses on the season came against the Huskies.
Ryan Boatright added 13 points and six rebounds while Shabazz Napier had 12 points, six assists and four steals. Niels Giffey rounded out the Huskies in double-digits with 11 points.
Patric Young paced Florida with 19 points and had five rebounds. Casey Prather added 15 points and a team-high six rebounds.
The Gators got out of the gates quickly with runs of 9-2 and 7-2 to take a 16-4 lead with 9:48 to go in the first half. However UConn responded with an 11-0 run behind Daniels, Boatright and Terrence Samuel to cut the lead to one.
They had two chances to take the lead but both Daniels and Boatright missed jumpers. Florida would get their lead back to five points before a Napier three and Giffey old fashioned three point play would give the Huskies their first lead at 21-20.
That lead didn't last too long though as a Prather jumper put the Gators back out front. UConn would close out the half with the final four points.
The Huskies extended their lead to nine to start the second half with the first six points before Kasey Hill got Florida on the scoreboard with a free throw. Over the next few minutes, the lead would stay between six and eight points before UConn would push it to 10 points at 39-29.
A 9-2 Gators run would cut the Huskies lead to three points and the lead hovered their for a bit. Then UConn went on an 8-1 run to get their lead back to 10. The Gators would get no closer than six points the rest of the way.
Once again facing adversity, the Huskies prevailed. UConn head coach Kevin Ollie made great adjustments and with the mentality and confidence he brings to the team, you could tell they weren't going to give up.
Now they're one win away from their fourth national championship and second in the last four years.

We recently took a family trip to one of my favorite destinations over fall break, Gatlinburg, Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains. It was my third visit but my children had never been. They had such a great time they did not want to come home and are already planning the things they want to do next time.
There is something for everyone in the great city of Gatlinburg and I think it's the perfect family trip. From exploring the beauty of nature in the national park to taking a stroll down the parkway and visiting the hundreds of unique and interesting shops and galleries, there are great times to be had.
There are enough dining opportunities to fit practically every individual taste, as well as budget. But what we loved most are the wonderful family-friendly attractions that Gatlinburg has an abundance of. Here's our guide to having a great time while visiting:
Enjoy the spectacular views. There are multiple ways to do this. Our favorite was the Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway, which carries you from downtown Gatlinburg up the mountain to Ober Gatlinburg. The ride is pretty smooth and you won't believe the amazing views. Since it was autumn we were treated to a breathtaking array of gorgeous color the likes of which we had never seen, even though the skies were quite overcast that day. My youngest son was initially scared but was fine once the tram started its gentle ascent. Another great way to see the gorgeous views is to go up the Space Needle . We rode up to the observation deck at night, and at over 400 ft. the panoramic views of the city lights were outstanding. Last but definitely not least, be sure to check out the Gatlinburg Sky Lift. The Sky Lift takes you up Crockett Mountain to an observation deck, complete with gift shop and snack bar. It is a different perspective compared to the views on the tramway or the Space Needle and is fun for all ages. Many people consider this an absolute must on their trip and come back year after year.
See wildlife and sea creatures. Ober Gatlinburg's wildlife encounter thrilled us all. The star of the encounter is the bear habitat. We watched them play from the observation areas and were especially captivated by the two cubs. Ober Gatlinburg also has many other fun things to do, including the scenic chair lift, alpine slide, several fun kiddie rides including a carousel, and a wonderful ice skating rink. In the winter there is skiing. Buy an armband and play all day! The other attraction where creatures are abundant is the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, voted the #1 aquarium in the country by Trip Advisor. The aquarium is gorgeous. We walked around for hours viewing all the galleries. The boys adored the Penguin Playhouse, especially since the observation tubes took them right inside the middle of the exhibit. The underwater tunnel in the shark lagoon is fabulous, you are surrounded by marine life and sharks pass by over your head. It's a little creepy at first (I couldn't help but think of Jaws) but after a minute or so you become engrossed in the experience. There is also a great discovery area where kids can do several hands-on activities, as well as the educational limited-time only Sharks exhibit. It's easy to see why the Ripley's Aquarium is one of the area's premiere attractions!
Go to a museum. Gatlinburg has many museum attractions to choose from. Our overall favorite was the Guinness World of Records. I was actually surprised how much fun we had, I figured the boys would be bored, but they loved the interactive exhibits. We also toured the Ripley's Believe it or Not Odditorium, which is chock full of the weird and unusual. There are other types of museums as well. For those Duke's of Hazard fans, check out Cooter's, a quirky little museum full of authentic memorabilia and pictures and offers indoor go-carting (one of my son's favorite activities) and miniature golf. A great stop for adults would be the Hollywood Star Cars Museum. There are over 40 exhibits of famous cars, many from movies and television shows from my childhood. My husband was especially thrilled to see the Bandit up close and personal. Kids might get a little bored however since they might not recognize most of the displays; mine were ready to go after a few minutes. My personal favorite museum attraction was Christ in the Smokies. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the 45 minute tour filled with realistic and artful scenes depicting the life of Jesus was absolutely stunning. It's truly unique and will leave you with a feeling of awe. Photography wasn't allowed inside the museum or else I would share some of the beautiful scenes.
Go on a thrill/adventure ride. Gatlinburg has several thrill and adventure simulation attractions. Earthquake The Ride is a fantastic ride that will shake you up and maybe even scare you a little with its awesome special effects. Ripley's Moving Theater also provides an entertaining thrill ride suitable for the whole family as you experience two separate movies in vivid 3D. For those of you who love a good scare check out the Ripley's Haunted Adventure (although it's not all that scary for adults, kids age 6 and older get a good spook).
Play some games. Gatlinburg is full of arcades and fun family activities. Our favorite was Fort Fun, where they offer a variety of games and activities in combo packs. We played Laser Tag, rode bumper cars, and watched a motion movie. Laser Tag was a blast, and I was shocked when my daughter beat us all, including my video-game addicted sons! I don't really recommend the motion movie, though; it was way too bumpy and not nearly as entertaining as the Ripley's Moving Theater. Treasure Quest Miniature Golf is also a great choice. The adventure theme with nods to pirates and explorers is a visual delight, plus it's indoors and air-conditioned.
As you can see, Gatlinburg has so much to offer! It appeals to children, teenagers, and adults alike. It truly is the ultimate year-round family destination. For more information please visit www.gatlinburg.com and request a free visitor's guide.

Vettel Claims Seventh Consecutive Win
Sebastian Vettel's flawless win at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this past weekend was his seventh consecutive victory for the 2013 Formula One season, putting the German driver on a par with Michael Schumacher's record of seven consecutive victories set in 2004. Driving for Red Bull Racing-Renault, Vettel has clocked up eleven wins this season, and with two more races to go in the 2013 Formula 1 series – United States and Brazil – Vettel still has the opportunity to break that record. Teammate Mark Webber took second place, followed by Nico Rosberg, Romain Grosjean and Fernando Alonso in the top five positions. The top five in points for the season are (in order): Sebastian Vettel (347 points); Fernando Alonso (217 points); Kimi Räikkönen (183 points); Lewis Hamilton (175 points) and Mark Webber (166 points).
Born in Heppenheim, Germany, Sebastian Vettel started karting at the age of three-and-a-half, beginning his racing career in karts series at the age of eight. His talent was immediately evident and at the age of eleven he was accepted into the Red Bull Junior Team. From there he moved to open-wheel cars, winning the 2004 German Formula BMW Championship, winning 18 of his 20 starts. In 2005 Vettel moved into the Formula 3 Euro Series, going on to test for the BMW Sauber team.
In 2006, Vettel became the third driver for BMW Sauber at the 2006 Turkish Grand Prix, and in 2007 was confirmed as BMW's test driver for 2007. He substituted for Robert Kubica in the United States Grand Prix, earning his first World Championship point by finishing in eighth position. In 2007, Vettel moved to Red Bull's Scuderia Toro Rosso team, enjoying a reasonably successful season apart from an accident in the Japanese Grand Prix for which he received a penalty, which was later lifted when it was determined that Lewis Hamilton had caused the wreck.
Highlights of the 2008 season included Vettel becoming the youngest driver (21 years and 74 days old) in history to win an F1 Grand Prix when he took the checkered flag in the 2008 Italian Grand Prix, and being named Rookie of the Year at the Autosport Awards. In 2009, Vettel replaced retiree David Coulthard at Red Bull Racing and became the youngest Grand Prix driver to win for two different teams when he won the Chinese Grand Prix in April of that year. The following years saw Vettel claim a number of victories, with the 2013 season being his best yet. Fans will no doubt be keen to see how the final races of the season pan out.
United States F1 Grand Prix 2013
Introduced to the F1 schedule in 2012, the United States Grand Prix takes place on the country's first ever purpose-build grand prix venue. The race consists of 56 laps around a circuit of 5.513 km, totalling 308.405 km. The current lap record of 1:39.347 was set by Sebastian Vettel in 2012.

No Horsing Around!
Recent illustration for New York magazine by Gluekit. This was for an article about PETA activist Dan Mathews, who is focusing his crusading efforts on getting rid of the harnessed carriage industry in New York City.
It was fun do do an illustration that set some flowing manes free in the streets!
Ch-Ch-Check it out!
Here at Gluekit, we like to imagine possibilities. Here's one possibility we've been working on: Gluekit skateboard decks! We've been collecting decks as art objects for a few years now (one of us skating some) and all the nice work out there prompted us to play with some ideas ourselves. These two both draw on a Beastie Boy illustration done for Stereoptype magazine, published by Red Flag Media back in the day. Word to the wise metalheads out there: RFM's Decibel is something to check out.
In this year of the big election, the VOTE! speech bubble in the Yellow Ch-Ch- design seems particularly apt.
Gluekit likes the grind, the click of wheels on cement, and fresh grip tape!
Bits, Bytes, and Billboard
The March 22 issue of Billboard features a cover illustration by Gluekit! The cover story is about how country music biz is going digital, bit by byte.
Mickey Mouse and Los Angeles
Recent illustration for Los Angeles Magazine's March issue. Art direction by Joe Kimberling. This image was one of five spot illustrations we did for the article, "The 64 Greatest Things about LA." Disneyland's right up there.
While working on this project– well, this image particularly– we fell prey to nostalgia and found ourselves listening to Musical Highlights from the Mickey Mouse Club TV Show. Those crazy Mouseketeers cover all sorts of odd and arcane topics. It's hummable too.
Gluekit loves kiddie showtunes!
In Black and Gold: Antoine + Manuel
It's a Spring 2008 Yale University Art Gallery Calendar cover! This beautiful piece was designed by Antoine + Manuel, aka Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz, Parisian graphic arts duo extraordinaire. As their bio blurb states, "Their unique visual language combines hand drawing and computer illustration with their own typography and photography." It's visually compelling stuff.

Date story was published: Thursday, February 14, 1985
Kentucky put it on the line last night and came away with a 51-48 victory over Alabama in a basketball game at Rupp Arena.
The Wildcats scored only one field goal in the final nine minutes but once again found a way to win. Twelve free throws in that span helped UK take sole possession of first place in the Southeastern Conference.
The victory improved UK's record to 14-8 overall and 9-4 in the league. Both Georgia and Florida fell to 8-5 last night. Georgia lost at the buzzer at Vanderbilt 69-68. Mississippi beat Florida 56-54.
Alabama is to 14-8 and 6-7.
Kenny Walker, who leads the Wildcats in nearly everything, led the parade to the foul line.
Walker made 11 free throws in the game, including seven down the stretch to protect the Kentucky lead. Walker finished with 19 points.
Freshman Ed Davender made only four of nine free throws, but they were the four that mattered most. All of Davender's free-throw points came in the final 51 seconds.
A third Wildcat, James Blackmon, added the clinching free throw with four seconds remaining.
UK's offense wasn't so diversified from the field, however.
Kentucky did get a lift from Bret Bearup, who scored nine of his 11 points in the first half. It was Bearup's first double-figure game since the UKIT.
But otherwise, the outside shots wouldn't fall for the Wildcats (34.8 percent).
That development left Walker and UK ripe for Alabama's collapsing zone defense.
And still Kentucky won.
"I was proud of our team and the scrap that they showed," UK coach Joe Hall said. "They were certainly winners. You would rather have a team of winners than anything else. They were super."
UK missed its first three shots and never really warmed up. The Cats hit only a third of their first-half shots (eight of 24).
"Usually that destroys you psychologically and the rest of your game goes," Hall said. "But they hung in there and gave a super effort."
Paul Andrews, who made three bombs in the second half, hit a jumper from the top of the key with 15:55 remaining. Andrews was fouled on the play. His three-point play erased Alabama's only lead and put UK ahead 27-26.
Kentucky's lead grew to as much as seven points (35-28 with 11:20 left) on a Bearup tip-in.
Another Andrews jumper put Kentucky ahead 37-32 with 9:30 remaining.
But after Andrews' basket, the Cats couldn't buy another. As it turned out, they hardly needed one.
In the next eight minutes, all of UK's points came from Walker on the low post. The 6-foot-8 junior had only one basket. The other seven points came on free throws as Alabama's collapsing zone was called for fouls.
"I have no comment on the personal foul situation," Alabama coach Wimp Sanderson said. "But we had more field goals than Kentucky (18 to 16). We were even in rebounds (31-31). But they had 30 free throws to our 16 although we were in a zone all night."
Walker, weary of the beating he takes every game, didn't want to talk about the fouls either.
"It happens every game so I don't want to talk about it," Walker said.
Three different Tide players were called for fouls against Walker in the second-half sequence that saw UK's leader go to the foul line six straight times.
Freshman Derrick McKey was called twice. The second time was McKey's fifth. Walker made one of the free throws to give UK a 42-41 lead with 2:41 remaining.
"I felt he had as much to do with the contact as I did," McKey said of the jockeying for position.
Other Alabama players objected to the calls, too. On six straight trips, Walker was fouled while posting up.
"A couple times they called fouls they anticipated rather than real fouls," Buck Johnson said. "There's nothing you can do about that."
Maybe most telling was the comment by Tide center Bobby Lee Hurt.
"I can't say it was bad officiating," he said. "They called it tight in the second half. I just feel they should have called it that way the whole game or not at all."
UK seemed to take control on one of the few times Walker was able to get off a shot down the stretch.
With 1:45 remaining, Walker snaked for a basket and was fouled. He missed the free throw, but the rebound was deflected out to Walker.
Seconds later, Walker was fouled again on the post. He made both free throws to give UK a 46-41 lead.
Hurt's three-point play brought Alabama within two (46-44) with 59 seconds remaining.
But UK won then clinched the victory at the foul line.
Two Davender free throws with 51 seconds remaining put UK ahead 48-46. Johnson fouled out while trying to press.
Davender, whose free throws were his only points, was fouled again while dribbling up against the Alabama press. He made one to put UK ahead 49-46 with 31 seconds to go.
Davender missed the second, but Hurt bobbled the rebound and the Wildcat guard took it away.
Fouled again with 11 seconds to go, Davender made one more free throw to put UK ahead 50-46.
Terry Coner, who led Alabama with 12 points, countered twice. His basket with five seconds left brought the Tide within 50-48.
The Tide fouled Blackmon with four seconds remaining.
Alabama called two timeouts before Blackmon was finally allowed to shoot. He made one.
After weeks of deadening monotony, UK provided unexciting novelty in the first half.
The Cats had to do without a large point production from Walker, yet UK found a way to lead 18-16 at intermission.
Alabama played a 2-1-2 zone throughout the first half. The alignment kept Walker surrounded whenever he ventured into the low post area.
Walker, the SEC's leading scorer and rebounder, didn't get his first points until 7:01 remained in the half. He took a feed from Davender for a layup. That shot gave Kentucky its largest lead of the half, 15-8.
Walker's only other basket was a post-up turnaround with 3:29 remaining. Neither Walker or UK scored again.
Bearup helped pick up the slack. Bearup, who has had only two double-figure scoring games this season, had nine points at the half. The UK senior center fearlessly shot turnaround jumpers in the lane against the Tide's leapers.
As has become a regular pattern, UK did not shoot well from outside. In the entire first half, the Wildcats hit only one shot from the perimeter. Troy McKinley, who entered the game at the 17:15 mark, hit an 18-footer for UK's first basket (with 16:55 to go).
Turnovers plagued Alabama and got the Tide off to a slow start. Alabama had five turnovers in the first five minutes. Three times the Tide was called for push-offs while posting up.
As a result of the calls and poor shooting, Alabama had only one basket in the game's first nine minutes.
Kentucky's poor shooting (33.3 percent in the half) helped the Tide hang close. McKey, a 6-9 forward-center, gave Alabama a lift. He came off the bench and scored six points in the final 5:46. McKey's foul-line jumper set the halftime score.
At that point, almost three minutes remained in the half.
But, in a game that saw both teams commit a total of 17 turnovers, neither could score again.

North Korean officials complain about UK salon owner's poster mocking Kim Jong-un's hairstyle
A hairdresser in west London was confronted by two men claiming to be officials from the North Korean embassy earlier this month after putting up a promotional poster making light of dictator Kim Jong-un's distinctive coiffure.
The trouble started when Mo Nabbach put up an image of Kim sporting a military salute, a grin on his face, and his trademark short-back-and-sides, long-in-the-middle look. The poster's lettering said, "Bad hair day? 15% off all gent cuts through the month of April. Tuesday-Thursday."
One day, Nabbach told the London Evening Standard, two men came by the shop window and began making photographs and taking notes. The men then entered the house and told Nabbach to take the poster down, claiming it was "disrespectful," to their leader.
Nabbach initially refused to take the poster down, but later did so, telling Sky News his decision was due to "overwhelming" interest from passerby and the fact that it blocked out the light.
Police told Sky News they too had received a complaint about the poster from the embassy, which is based in an anonymous-looking semi-detached house in the Ealing neighborhood, about a 10-minute walk from the shop.
A police spokeswoman said officers had spoken to "all parties involved" and said "no offence [sic] has been disclosed." The shop is not under investigation.
Last month, it was reported that all university students in North Korea would be required to sport similar hairstyles to Kim.

What Basis for 'Permanent' Bases?
The Bush administration has assured Congress that it does not seek to establish "permanent" U.S. military bases in Iraq. But an exchange yesterday among Sen. James Webb (D-Va.), State Department Iraq coordinator David Satterfield and Assistant Defense Secretary Mary Beth Long at a Foreign Relations Committee hearing suggests that permanence lies in the mind of the beholder:
Webb: What is a permanent base?
Satterfield: Senator, the administration has made quite clear that we are not seeking permanent bases in Iraq. . . .
Webb: Right. But what is a permanent base? Are our bases in Japan permanent bases?
Long: I have looked into this. As far as the department is concerned, we don't have a worldwide or even a department-wide definition of permanent bases. I believe those are, by and large, determined on a case-by-case basis. . . .
Webb: Well, I understand that. But basically my point is it's sort of a dead word. It doesn't really mean anything.
Long: Yes, Senator, you're completely right. It doesn't. . . .
Webb: We've had bases in Korea since 1953, anyway, and I would be hard-pressed to say they're permanent. How long is permanent? We have bases in Japan under a security agreement, but we are relocating a lot of those to Guam, so I wouldn't say that they are permanent. So to say that these won't be permanent bases really doesn't go to the question of what they will be. It goes to the question of what they won't be. And what we're saying they won't be is a dead word.
Long: Senator, you're exactly right. I think most lawyers . . . would say that the word "permanent" probably refers more to the state of mind contemplated by the use of the term.
