UIC never trailed in Saturday's 62-57 win at Butler. How proud are you of the way the team came out and played on the road at Hinkle Fieldhouse?
Extremely proud. We—I thought our trip to San Juan (San Juan Shootout) was huge for us to show that we could win away from the Pavilion at UIC and grow some confidence. There was a big concern because Butler was also coming off two wins out in the Vegas tournament (South Point Thanksgiving Shootout). To come in and play pretty steady—we had scouted Butler pretty well. Playing against them a year ago they really took it to us at our place, we certainly wanted to show them a different team than a year ago. With the overall effort; we gutted some plays out when they made runs and some runs we trigged with decisions we made. Overall, I'm proud of the effort we put together on the court.
The Flames have won six straight which matches the best eight game start in the program's Division I history. What's been clicking for the team over these last six games?
Our goal was to basically go on a streak—not a losing streak—it was a winning streak that was one game at time. December is a very important month for us because we have four out of our five games away from home—starting with Butler. Our goal is every game we play, give ourselves a chance to win. Why play the game if you're not going to try to win the game? Our theme this year is 'all in.' We want to be 'all in' on everything we do and each day we are trying to build off that motto.
In the first two games the team played without Rachel Story. How much of a difference maker is the senior guard?
She is so much of a competitor. She raises the level in practice and then obviously her teammates have a lot of confidence in her, in her ability—you know—and the team is close. They like each other and that is huge, that means they're going to play well for each other and play together. I think this team has done a nice job accepting their roles and have embraced Rachel's role for this team, which is to be a creator offensively. She has shown good leadership and she is a feisty defender when we need her to be.
After transferring from La Salle and becoming eligible this season, Ruvanna Campbell is averaging 15.0 points, 10.9 rebounds per game. How much of an impact player has she been in her first eight games in a UIC uniform?
She brings a different dimension for us. Not only is she a presence around the basket—being able to score the ball in the paint as well as rebound. She is long, very long. She is six-foot-one, but plays about 6'3". She also has the ability to change shots, and that is another advantage for us. But probably her biggest impact is I can play her at different positions, she is very versatile where I can post her inside and she can face the basket and take you off the bounce. When you play off the bounce at 6'1" and attack the basket against 5'7", 5'8" defenders it's really going to help us.
With two full seasons under your belt at UIC, where do you see the program progressing in year three?
That first year at UIC we had some pretty good seniors; two in particular, Shamiea Green and Jasmine Bailey. We graduated 80 percent of everything after that first year. We knew we had some potential (this year) recruiting a large freshman class. I think it's important to build a program from the grassroots level; I like to bring in the freshman instead of a ton of transfers. We will spot transfers here and there and we've been able to do that with Ruvanna Campbell and Megan Wallace. I would say the second year was a transition year. The thing about freshman is they become sophomores and we want to continue to move forward.
The team had the opportunity to play two games in the San Juan, Puerto Rico on Nov. 29-30. How are tournaments like the San Juan Shootout beneficial for the development of the team?
Not only do you have an opportunity to come together as a basketball team on the court, but also just to spend time with each other, get to know each other as teammates a little bit better. It also offers the opportunity to do other team activities that ordinarily you wouldn't have the opportunity to do. The better you know each other, the better you understand each other, the better you can play with each other, so I thought it was huge for us.
As a head coach you've appeared in either the WNIT or NCAA Tournament seven times, including a runner-up finish in the 2004 WNIT at UNLV. What's it going to take to get UIC to the postseason?
Well that's the ultimate goal, do something that's not been done at UIC, to get UIC to the NCAA Tournament. What is going to take? I think continually to build. We are in our third year into this process and I think we are making progress. Coming off a rebuilding year where we won a total of nine games a year ago, even though you didn't see it a year ago, the fruits of the labor is starting to pay off from the work and effort that was put in. Ultimately, I think we're well on our way to accomplishing something UIC has never done and that is to get into postseason consistently.
After a successful playing career at Louisburg (N.C.) Junior College and Old Dominion, you began your coaching career shortly after a brief professional playing career. Do you believe coaches with playing experience can relate better to their student-athletes?
We remind them every now and then I played in the Final Four and we know what it takes to get there! (Laughs). I think they respect that. Probably more so, I'm still fairly active as a head coach. I work out, I run with them, I train with them. I don't often say do as I say, but sometimes do as I do. I think they respect that and they know that I understand their points. I think I've been able to use that to my advantage to a certain point. I think it has had a positive impact—in fact I teased them the other day saying, 'If I can make this move, this is what is would look like, I can still think it but I can't make that move.'
In the offseason, what are some hobbies you have?
I'm a runner; I run half-marathons in Chicago and I have run all over the state, I've traveled to run them. I also enjoy cycling and row biking. I stay active, so those are the things I enjoy if I'm not in the gym.
If there's one thing to expect from a Regina Miller coached team, what is it?
Each game out we're going to come and compete hard. We're going to try and play an exciting brand of basketball—give the fans something to enjoy. I think if you can withstand your defense and play pressure and create an up-tempo game fans seem to like that and that's pretty much our style of play.

Please confirm that you want to add CAD for Woodworkers: makes it easy to draw woodworking plans to your Wishlist.
Once you have learned the basics in CAD drawing, you will have a skill that will last you a lifetime.
Here's what a recent student on the course, Cady Dodds, a carpenter designer/maker who runs Perfect Space Carpentry, had to say in an email to me:
"The course has been great for me, first step towards electronic drawing.
I sat down this afternoon and drew up 2 elevations for a client, some wardrobes and storage. Although basic I think quite acceptable and took me about 2 hours or so, and after a bit of fettling I got them to print. So I am very pleased."
This was Cady's first ever CAD drawing. The 2 hours it took him, will soon become an hour. The time savings CAD offers you have to be experienced to be believed. What's more, you can send your finished drawing to anyone, anywhere in the world, as a PDF file which they can open to view and print. Its an unbeatable technology, using FREE software!
Here are some of the things the course teaches you to do:
Using a project based, step by step method I show you how to draw a complete set of elevations of an Apothecary's Chest.
A PDF version of the plans of the chest are provided to download for reference, and sequential versions of the relevant CAD files for you to work on as you progress through the course are also included. These files are prepared with a range of dimension scales to make it much easier to output your finished drawing, and can be re-used as templates in the future.
The course has 3 main sections
Introducing the core principles of the course; that you should only learn the parts of a software program that you need to know and use; that you can streamline these into simple pathways which help you to use the software more effectively, productively and quickly.
A brief description of DraftSight,the CAD software used on the course, and why it has been chosen.
Just a few pointers on how to get the best out of Udemy lectures, including, and most important, clicking on that HD button to get the clearest possible video picture. Also, a quick run through on the tabs and downloading resources like files to go with the course.
Start the customisation of the DraftSight screen, clearing toolbars and palettes to give yourself a bigger drawing area and simplify the user interface. This customisation is optional, but is recommended as it will help in drawing more effectively and quickly.
Hiding the CCS icon, changing the background screen colour, and setting up the POLAR and ESNAP tool
Customising toolbars by adding and removing tools
An explanation of how units, scales and size works in CAD programs. Most people are familiar with scale drawings, but in CAD it is usual to draw things full size, and then output at any scale you choose once the drawing is finished.
An introduction to how we find our way around the CAD screen and environment
A short reference guide to drawing rectangles using the coordinates system.
A quick way to remind yourself of some of the basic CAD concepts.
Start constructing the front elevation of the Apothecary's Chest, using the RECTANGLE drawing tool, and the MOVE and MIRROR editing tools.
Using the RECTANGLE tool, and editing tools MOVE, MIRROR and COPY, this lecture shows you how to rapidly build a drawing with the minimum of input.
Round over the end of the top with the FILLET tool, and then MIRROR the top 2 rows to create the bottom 2 rows of drawers. Using the LINE tool to create a guideline, and then the STRETCH tool to edit the bottom drawer heights to finish the drawers.
Construct and add bun feet to the elevation using the CIRCLE and OFFSET tools, and the TRIM tool.
Using construction lines as diagonals, and the CIRCLE and COPY tools, you will add handles and complete the front elevation
Some questions to remind you of drawing concepts in the lectures.
Creating a side elevation using a copy of the front elevation. Changing the width of the copy using the STRETCH editing command. Introduces the OFFSET command to create the side frame, and EXPLODE command to create lines from a rectangle.
Please download the CAD file WW CHEST 2 available with this tutorial.
Looks at drawing a side elevation detail of the handle, using construction lines and rectangles, and then drawing the outline using the ARC tool.
Please download the CAD file WW CHEST 3 available with this tutorial.
Using the LINE tool to create construction lines, and matching the centres of the handle on the front elevation to intersections on the side elevation. Using COPY to put the side elevations of the handle detail in place.
An introduction to layers and the LAYER MANAGER, looking at the various layer options including locking, line colour and line weight or thickness.
An introduction to dimensioning drawings in CAD, including various tools on the dimension toolbar, and a look at dimension styles.
Please download the CAD file WW CHEST 4 available with this tutorial.
Create a copy of the front elevation to use as a template, and then add the sections of the drawer frames and guides on the section layer, using the RECTANGLE and COPY tools
Introducing two new tools, the POLYLINE tool ,and the ROTATE editing tool, this lecture focuses on drawing the side and top frames and panels.
Adding the outer guides or spacers, and then using MIRROR to copy the drawn part of the section across to the other side. Finally, the bottom frame and panel and the fixing dowel for the feet is added.
This lectures shows you how to reuse the sections already drawn through the top and bottom to begin to create the side section. Editand create POLYLINES.
Add the drawer frames and drawers sections, using the COPY and STRETCH tools.
Introducing sheets as different to model space. Taking a look at the relationship between pre-setup scales in the dimension style option, and matching sheets.
Looks at how to output your drawings as PDF files which can either be emailed or printed using Adobe Reader. Includes another look at sheets and viewports, and setting up scale drawings.
Using an example from a set of elevations of a garden bench, the video shows how to set up and draw a template. Construction of a grid using the PATTERN tool is included, and then an outline using the freehand curves drawn with the ARC tool.
Working as an illustrator and designer in architecture and publishing for more than 30 years has taught me a lot about drawing software.
One thing I have learned is that FREE software is as good and sometimes better than the expensive stuff!
So how do you choose which programs to use?
I've done that for you in my courses.
Would you like to learn how to draw accurate woodworking plans quickly and easily using a free professional CAD program? Well, take my CAD for Woodworkers course using DraftSight, a great professional level CAD program similar in commands and structure to AutoCAD.
Would you like to be able to design and draw your projects in 3D? I'm running a course now on Udemy, SketchUp for Woodworkers, for anyone (not just woodworkers) who wants to learn how to use SketchUp to draw smaller projects (ie not a house!)
See my Udemy courses ,SketchUp for Woodworkers and its companion course, CAD for Woodworkers.
Brief CV: I have worked on a wide range of magazine titles in the UK, US and Europe and currently illustrate 2 UK based craft titles, Furniture and Cabinetmaking and Woodworking Crafts, providing plans and 3D drawings as well as articles for both. I have illustrated more than 50 books on a wide variety of craft subjects, and have written extensively in craft magazines on the use of computer drawing techniques in furniture making and joinery.
I have a degree in Architecture, and run LineMine, a website that focuses on design drawing techniques and software.

MEXICO CITY — A former prosecutor criticized for failing to solve dozens of rapes and murders of women in his northern border state was confirmed yesterday as Mexico's attorney general and leader of the nation's war on vicious drug cartels.
The Senate confirmed Arturo Chávez while a few dozen women protested outside. The demonstrators said Chávez didn't do enough to catch those responsible for attacks on women when he was the top federal prosecutor and attorney general in the northern state of Chihuahua.
President Felipe Calderón tapped Chávez to replace Eduardo Medina Mora as the country's top legal officer this month.
Chihuahua is home to Mexico's deadliest city, Ciudad Juarez, which has had more than 1,600 homicides this year.
Underscoring that bleak distinction, authorities said police found three human heads along a highway near Ciudad Juarez and were searching for the bodies.
The state Attorney General's Office said the heads were put in three coolers beside a roadside monument known as "The Seven Little Heads," in memory of seven children killed in a traffic accident at that spot. The killers left a banner saying, "For those who keep stealing."
On Wednesday night, in nearby Nuevo Casas Grandes, at least five gunmen entered a newsroom and shot a journalist to death in front of his colleagues, officials said.
Norberto Miranda Madrid, 54, was killed at the offices of Radio Vision Casas Grandes, a news Web site he directed and where he wrote a column about crime and politics.
Colleagues told Mexico's Center of Journalism and Public Ethics that Miranda Madrid told them he received threats for publishing details about the Sept. 4 arrest of José Rodolfo Escajeda, an alleged lieutenant of the Juarez drug cartel.
Also yesterday, police found the bodies of five women who had been shot to death dumped along a highway between the Pacific resort cities of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo in Guerrero state, officials said.

Van Gaal's AZ Alkmaar land second Dutch title
AZ Alkmaar clinched their second Dutch championship after Ajax Amsterdam failed to beat PSV Eindhoven on Sunday.
AZ lifted the title for the first time since 1981 despite losing 2-1 at home to Vitesse Arnhem on Saturday.
They are 11 points clear of Twente Enschede with three matches and a maximum nine points left to play for and have secured a place in next season's Champions League group stage.
It is the sixth league title for coach Louis van Gaal after he steered Ajax To success in 1994, 1995 and 1996 and led Barcelona to Primera Liga glory in 1998 and 1999.
The Dutchman was also technical director when Ajax won the league in 2004.
AZ's triumph makes up for their near miss two years ago when they lost the title on the final day of the season.
They were top of the table on goal difference going into the last fixture but a 3-2 defeat at Excelsior Rotterdam allowed PSV Eindhoven to lift the trophy.
"This title doesn't take away the bad taste of 2007 because we should have won the double that year," Van Gaal told the Dutch weekly Voetbal International.

The 2013 Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings will take place on Sunday, August 11 at PETCO Park in San Diego, California, as 51 of the country's top high school players will showcase their talents in an East-West showdown.
In last year's Classic, 13 first-round draft picks from this year's MLB Draft were featured, 4 of whom were selected as Top-10 picks. Despite valiant efforts by East representatives Trey Ball, Clint Frazier, and Austin Meadows, Kohl Stewart led the West in its 7-6 victory over the East in San Diego.
As was the case one year ago, this year's Classic features some of the best prep stars in the country, many who project to be top draft picks in next year's MLB Draft.
Alex Jackson, Jacob Gatewood, and Michael Gettys headline the class of position players, displaying raw power and pure hitting ability, while the likes of Dylan Cease, Touki Toussaint, and Tyler Kolek represent some of the better, powerful prep arms in the nation.
What follows is the complete roster for team East and team West, which is subsequently followed by an assessment of the Top 5 players who will be featured in this year's classic.

When I teach my course in E-Business Strategy here at Biola, one of the first readings we do is Michael Porter's Strategy and the Internet. Michael Porter is a professor at Harvard Business School who has developed a reputation as the guru of "competitive advantage". This classic of business strategy, published in the Harvard Business Review in March, 2001, is a bit dated but still a great starting point for understanding how businesses should plan their Internet strategy.
This article makes several key points regarding the use of the Internet for strategy, and several are useful for us as we look to develop a strategy for Internet ministry. The first of these points that I want to consider is the idea of having a strategy for Internet use at all. As Porter points out in this paper:
Even well-established, well-run companies have been thrown off track by the Internet. Forgetting what they stand for or what makes them unique, they have rushed to implement hot Internet applications and copy the offerings of dot-coms…And many established companies, reacting to misguided investor enthusiasm, have hastily cobbled together Internet units in a mostly futile effort to boost their value in the stock market.
Porter is very critical of firms who do not consider their overall organizational strategy before determining how to use the Internet. Instead, he says, companies need to understand who they are and then use the powerful tools provided by the Internet to enhance that strategy. He gives six principles of strategy (taken from one of his previous papers), several of which are applicable for ministries, which I summarize here:
- Know the goals for your organization. This is the starting point. For businesses, the goal is sustained profitability. For your ministry, what is the goal?
- Understand that there will be trade-offs, you cannot do everything. What are you good at? What shouldn't you be doing? What makes your ministry distinctive?
- The activities of your organization should be mutually reinforcing. Does everything "fit"?
- Have a continuity of direction. Do not continually reinvent yourself or you will only confuse those to whom you minister.
Does your ministry have a strategy for their use of the Internet? Are you using the Internet to enhance what your organization does, or was it quickly put up as a way to just "get on the net"? This is the starting point for effective Internet ministry. I will continue to examine Porter's paper and how it applies to Internet ministry in future posts.

High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, have become a fixture of many urban freeways as way to alleviate traffic congestion and improve air quality. But in its attempt to do a good deed, there is evidence that adding HOV lanes can lead to more accidents, say observers.
According to the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), accident rates have increased since the addition of HOV lanes in Dallas:
- When the HOV lanes first opened in 1996 on I-635, the accident rate per 100 million vehicle-miles increased from 32 to 50.
- In 1997, when 3.8 miles of HOV lane was added (equaling 11.1 miles), the accident rate increased from 44 to 62.
- Additionally, the rate of accidents increased 56 percent for stretches of Dallas freeway that have HOV lanes adjacent to regular lanes without a concrete barrier.
Rates have also increased in other states, including California, where accident rates have grown 11 percent in locations where HOV lanes were added, narrowed, or both.
One reason HOV safety hasn't received a lot of attention is that the accidents tend to be minor, like side-swipes and fender benders, say observers; nonetheless, serious accidents do occur. So why might HOV lanes cause accidents?
- Lanes are not separated by concrete barriers so drivers often illegally weave between the regular and HOV lanes. Nationwide only 10 percent of HOV lanes actually have barriers.
- Drivers stuck in gridlock tend to be resentful of their faster-moving counterparts and won't let them merge back onto the regular freeway, causing accidents.
In response to the increase in accidents, Dallas traffic planners are considering using 2.5-feet-tall pylons to separate a new stretch of HOV lanes on U.S. 75; these pylons could add up to $8 million to the initial cost of the project.
Source: Russell Gold, "HOV Lanes Linked to Rise In Car Crashes," Wall Street Journal, June 21, 2005; based upon: A. Scott Cothron et al., "Crash Data Identify Safety Issues for High-Occupancy Vehicle Lanes in Selected Texas Corridors," Texas Transportation Institute, March 2005.

Saving 'Buddy' took a village
September 4, 2013
Two months ago, frantic calls came into the Grass Valley Animal Shelter, to Scooter's Pals and to the Coalition of Animal Welfare and Support, that a black-and-white dog had been hit by a car and was lying on the hot pavement along Tunnel Road in Grass Valley.
Susan Wallace of Scooter's Pals sent more messages for someone who might be near there to go tend to the dog, and CAWS director Kathy Monteiro called the armed forces office across the street to get the dog out of further harm's way.
Roger from Grass Valley Animal Control arrived first and immediately took the dog to Best Friends veterinary clinic. Fresh evidence of puncture wounds on the pooch confirmed he had been attacked by dogs and, when trying to escape, was run over by a car.
The force of the accident had almost decapitated him. Scooter's Pals and CAWS called the vet to ensure he would be treated, and so the road to recovery began for the Jack Russell terrier named Buddy.
Buddy had so many stitches around his neck that he looked like a Frankenstein experiment, and he was given large doses of pain medication in an effort to keep him comfortable. But Buddy could not stay at the vet because they did not provide care at night or over the weekend.
Calls were made to find a caregiver, but on such short notice, Wallace stepped up to take him home. Since she has boisterous dogs of her own, and Buddy needed peace and quiet, she put him in her garage.

As word got out, Lori Perry from Nevada County PAWS rushed over with extra bedding and a portable air conditioning unit so he would stay comfortable. More calls came in from other animal lovers who were quickly becoming buddies to Buddy with donations of food and herbal medications and money for his care.
Buddy's friends in his old neighborhood heard what happened and called with concern and help. Roger pledged $200 toward his vet bill, along with pledges from Scooter's Pals and CAWS.
When Ursela Rabe, a local foster and animal communicator, heard about Buddy, she immediately offered to take him in and nurse him back to health. It seemed that not only did Rabe help Buddy, but he was a gift to Rabe, who had been mourning the recent death of her beloved Jack Russell terrier. It was a match made in heaven.
As Buddy began to heal and his pain medication was reduced, he stopped eating and began a heartbreaking whimper. Rabe rushed him to the vet, who discovered Buddy's teeth had become infected and damaged, likely due to the trauma from the collision.
Buddy went into surgery again and many teeth were removed. Throughout all of the pain and trauma, Rabe reported that even when it was too painful for Buddy to move, he would still barely wag his tail, asking for some tenderness.
Buddy's recovery is not over yet. He is not able to use one leg, the problem diagnosed as a painful pinched nerve.
"For all this dog has been through, he is such a little trooper," Wallace said. "He just wants to be loved."
For donations to help with Buddy's extensive vet care or to adopt Buddy, contact Scooters' Pals at http://scooterspals.org and click "donate" or mail to P.O. Box 168, Cedar Ridge, CA 95924.

So I'm a bit stumped. Last night I moved my TV and 360 upstairs to a spot right next to my wireless router. Thinking I would no longer have to deal with the wireless I plugged the ethernet cable into the back of my wonderful microsoft product. No connection. Nothing. It wouldn't even see the network. I tried setting the IP info and DNS manually. Tried it automatically and checked my DHCP settings on the router, and everything was fine there. At one point, it actually connected to the network, but then I couldn't get access to the web, so no Netflix or Live. I finally gave up, and plugged the wireless back in. It worked fine for the rest of the night with no issues. Is there something simple I missed?
Also, my PS3 is plugged into the same router and had no issues downloading a update last night.
You were trying to go from wireless to wired?
Do you have MAC address filtering turned on? (The wireless mac and 360 MAC address would've been different.)
Do you have dynamic or static ip's setup? You could try assigning a static ip address for the 360 MAC. (same caveat as above)
I've had a few times where my router ip table or whatever would stop seeing all my consoles (PS3, 360 etc). Not sure if if twas a power outage or my IP (NAT?) table just got confused in the router. The only solution was to just reboot the router and set them up again. This is very rare, but it has happened.
Since it worked for a fleeting moment, try a different cable.
Since it worked for a fleeting moment, try a different cable.
my first thought as well. also link lights are your friend.
Did you tell the 360 to be wired instead of wireless? Stupid question, I know.
Did you tell the 360 to be wired instead of wireless? Stupid question, I know.
Heh I was going to ask this too. I'm glad someone else beat me to it = P. Yea it seems like something obvious, but most people assume the hardware will just automatically choose whichever is available. Windows vista has the same problem for certain set ups.
I imagine unplugging the wireless adapter from the back of the 360 would guarantee its use of the wired connection.

The Mars 2020 Rover Features New Spectral Abilities with its New SuperCam
As the NASA Curiosity rover roams the surface of Mars, its ChemCam captures the chemical makeup of its surroundings with a specially designed laser system. It is the most powerful laser to operate on the surface of another planet. The burst of infrared light it fires lasts only a few billionths of seconds, but it is powerful enough to vaporize the spot it hits at more than 8,000°C. Even from a distance, the ChemCam can examines rocks and soil using a process called Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), where laser bursts atomize and excite components and spectral images capture their chemical signatures.

New Technique Accurately Digitizes Transparent Objects
A new imaging technique makes it possible to precisely digitize clear objects and their surroundings, an achievement that has eluded current state-of-the-art 3D rendering methods. The ability to create detailed, 3D digital versions of real-world objects and scenes can be useful for movie production, creating virtual reality experiences, improving design or quality assurance in the production of clear products and even for preserving rare or culturally significant objects.

Core Solutions Reach Optimally Extreme Light Pulses
As scientist probe nature ever more precisely with laser pulses, now aiming for the zeptosecond regime – a trillionth of a billionth of a second and the fastest scale of time measured – optimizing each parameter of those pulses can offer more finely tuned measurements of as-yet unknown dynamic properties. The laser wavelength, duration and energy of each pulse, and rate at which pulses are produced are all key factors in observing dynamics such as the real-time electron motions of single molecules together with the motion of consistituent atoms.

Over the weekend, Republicans I talked with really and truly believed they could win this one, and I thought they were right. The Public Policy Polling survey for Daily Kos released Monday showed Republican Bill Maloney pulling within one point of acting governor (now governor-elect) Earl Ray Tomblin. The momentum seemed to be with Maloney, and the Republican Governors Association poured a small fortune into the race. It hoped to seal the deal with ads that (improbably) associated conservative Democrat Tomblin with President Obama. But when the votes were counted, Tomlin won by three points with 150,732 votes to Maloney's 142,889.
Face it: If Maloney had won, this would be much bigger news. Republicans would have linked it with the Democrats' recent loss in New York's Ninth Congressional District to feed a narrative of Obama weakness, Democratic panic and all sorts of other gloomy tidings for the White House. The mere fact that those stories aren't there is good news for Obama.
This race, of course, has no significance for the presidential election. There is no way Obama will carry West Virginia, which he lost in 2008. Or, if he does, he will be winning such a big landslide that all of our current assumptions will be blown away. (I'm betting on the first, not the second.)
But this does tell us that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is just as popular as everyone thought he was and will make a very poor target in the Republicans' efforts to take over the U.S. Senate next year. Democrats countered the GOP's anti-Obama ads with an endorsement ad for Tomblin from Manchin, and it appears to have helped. Facing less electoral pressure, Manchin might feel a bit more freedom to vote with the Democratic leadership, though he is a conservative Democrat who is likely to remain one.
Writing on Daily Kos, Steve Singiser made another useful point: That those anti-Obama ads were not what made this race close. Singiser points out that Republican Maloney was already within six points of Tomblin in the Kos/PPP poll in early September. He argues plausibly that "Maloney's 'surge' from the beginning of the campaign until now was the simple process of (a) improving name recognition and (b) consolidation of the GOP vote in the wake of a close and competitive primary against Betty Ireland." You could even make a case that in the exchange of ads at the end of the campaign, the Manchin ad had more impact than the anti-Obama one. But that is probably slicing the electoral salami too thin.
The main point is that Democrats dodged a bad news story and that Republicans tried hard but failed. Oh, yes, and Tomblin, who has to face the voters again a year from November, was quite happy to tell off the folks who spent a fortune to beat him: "We may be open for business," he said, "but ladies and gentlemen, West Virginia is not for sale."

Healthcare reform is upon us
For good or bad, the Federal model contains several similarities to the Massachusetts Health Reform Law. If they would bother to look north, Washington could learn a thing or two about the effectiveness and pitfalls of poorly designed reform. The Massachusetts model, now three years in, has hit its coverage goals of 97% but is quickly devolving in to a financial burden for all involved. In the past year, several urban hospitals have been forced to sue the state for under reimbursement; the Governor has artificially capped the medical premiums to a point that may bankrupt some insurers; the insurers in turn are suing the state and have pulled their products from the state exchange "Connector" some believe permanently; and rates continue to increase at double-digit levels.
The Massachusetts model and the federal reform law are either on a date with destiny or a collision course to infamy. In Massachusetts, we have seen our clients struggle to deal with the complexities of the new law, to stay on top of the compliance issues while being buried under increased administrative burdens. Further, small group rates are rising faster than the national trend and little has been done to reduce the overall cost of care. I was recently asked to talk about what's happened here in our state as a "cautionary tale" of what's to come in for Leader's Edge Magazine, check it out.

How to create a feature wall
Why not think about wallpapering a single wall to create a striking design feature? We have a range of wallpaper designs for every style and purpose. Typically, most feature walls use a big, bold print. However for a particularly small rooms you could consider a slightly smaller print to give you a feature wall effect without making the room look smaller. Modern paste-the-wall paper now makes it easier to apply (as it doesn't require a pasting table) and is easier to take off should you fancy a change.

Your Harbour
A new exhibition at the Danish Architecture Centre takes visitors on a journey through the history of Copenhagen's harbour and on into its future.
The press are invited to a special viewing of the exhibition on Thursday 21 March at 10.00 am, when Head of Presentation and Debate Nanna Bjerre Hjortenberg will show you round. If you wish to attend, please contact Line Juul Greisen on firstname.lastname@example.com
The exhibition YOUR HARBOUR - Copenhagen Harbour past, present and future will be on show at the Danish Architecture Centre from 22 March to 16 June 2013 and will continue out into the harbour throughout the summer.
In this large scale exhibition Danish Architecture Centre casts the spotlight on the rapid development of Copenhagen's harbour. YOUR HARBOUR invites visitors on a journey through the harbour's historical development from its past existence as a military and industrial harbour to its present existence as a culture harbour and recreational area, where the harbour has well and truly returned to the city and its citizens.
Your Harbour has been created by the Danish Architecture Centre in association with the Museum of Copenhagen, the City of Copenhagen and Gehl Architects. The project is supported by the A.P. Møller and Hustru Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation, Realdania and Nordea-fonden.
The harbour is your new Sunday walk
Harbour baths, canoeing clubs, oyster banks, new bridges, cultural institutes, company headquarters and harbour parks. Now that the industry has moved away, the harbour is well and truly returning to the city. This year witnesses the opening of the Inderhavn Bridge and several smaller bridges, which will create a completely new link around Copenhagen's inner harbour. Suddenly it will be possible to take a walk around the harbour, just as we have done for generations around the lakes.
"Today the harbour is completely different from what it was just ten years ago. With the exhibition YOUR HARBOUR we want to take the people of the city and visitors to the city back into the harbour's history and forward into the harbour of the future. The exhibition will show how the harbour today has become Copenhagen's new, large public space. We have created an exhibition, which will appeal to the whole family, and which will take place, not only here in the Danish Architecture Centre, but also out in the harbour itself," says Nanna Bjerre Hjortenberg, Head of Presentation and Debate at the Danish Architecture Centre.
The bridges are coming
This year four new bridges will see the light of day in the Inderhavn and will, in no uncertain terms, create new options for the city's cyclists and pedestrians, who will be able to cut corners between the city centre and Christianshavn. The exhibition will provide visitors with an insight into the new bridges and an opportunity to experience the new Inderhavn Bridge at close quarters in a giant model, where they can have a go at opening and closing this sliding bridge. What is more, the sliding bridge is the first of its kind in Europe, and is in itself an enormous feat of engineering.
From armed forces and industry to cultural buildings and new opportunities
Visitors will be transported through traces of the harbour's history, giving them a sense of the very presence of history, with insights into events and episodes that were pivotal in shaping the appearance of the harbour as it is today. Hear, for example, how the soya-bean cake factory exploded and created a particularly polluted harbour. Travel back to the 1800s, when Kvæsthusbroen was constructed, on the same site where the Royal Danish Playhouse stands today, and where Kvæsthusmolen is in the process of taking shape. Or hear the story of the time, when the people of Christianshavn turfed an international star architect out of Krøyers Plads.
"Over the years, the harbour has been a forum for industrial conflicts, cultural conflicts and duels between public and private operators - between grassroots organisations and politicians - between owners and users. And today it is still a battle zone for many different interest groups. We want the exhibition Your Harbour to show how the harbour's development has been created out of a complex alchemy of accident, planning and ruthless business, and ultimately by the many public and private operators, who make it their business to leave their mark on it," says Nanna Bjerre Hjortenberg.
The harbour baths and other pioneer projects
Looking at a selection of pioneer projects, such as the Harbour Baths, the Royal Danish Playhouse, Kvæsthusmolen and the Bryggebro Bridge, which have paved the way towards a new way of using the harbour, visitors will also get a chance to peer into the near future. They will see how future harbour projects, such as the Bryghus project, will help to draw urban life from the centre around Strøget to down around the harbour, creating a new waterfront and breathing life into it.
An exhibition for all the family
YOUR HARBOUR is also an exhibition for children, the youngest of whom can go exploring on a special, child-size sensory trail. Special "sensory boxes" will let them see, listen, smell and feel their way, inspiring them to go out and explore the harbour and hunt for particular harbour objects.
Throughout the Easter break they will also have the opportunity to build LEGO bridges in the large LEGO Architecture Workshop, "Bro Bro Brille"
Explore the harbour
YOUR HARBOUR is much more than an exhibition. Afterwards visitors are encouraged to go out and explore the harbour.
At selected places along the quay we have positioned "hotspots", where people can experience the development of the harbour from a setting for industry to a place of recreation, and hear accounts of the past, present and future harbour in a collection of new audio stories, which can also be downloaded as pod walks at home or at the exhibition.
Throughout the period of the exhibition and the rest of the summer you can explore the harbour on foot, on water or on bicycle, on a series of guided tours. Keep a lookout for them on www.dac.dk/kalender
Photography competition on Instagram
If you are on the social picture-sharing platform, Instagram, and have an eye for new, fun ways to use Copenhagen Harbour's many well-known and less familiar areas, you can add the hash tag#havnenerdin to your photos. The best photos will be displayed in the exhibition, and every week we will select the photos of the week for the Danish Architecture Centre's Facebook page. On 16 June the winner of the photography competition will be presented with an iPhone 5.

Ski season at Snowshoe Mountain Resort isn't over yet, although the end is in sight.
The resort has decided to give lodging guests free skiing, and all others skiing or riding for $26 a day - or half off the regular ticket price, during the last week of the season, March 21-27.
Snowshoe expects 39 of the Basin area's 40 slopes to be open through the end of the season. That open terrain will include the resort's famed Western Territory, offering 1,500 vertical feet and trails nearly 1.5 miles long.
Snowshoe Resort's Last Hurrah festivities also include savings on mountaintop lodging, rental equipment, and retail offerings, and also offer adventure activities and the traditional end-of-season Pond Skimming Event March 26.
Snowshoe's rental shops will be offering discounts on Head and Burton ski and snowboard rental equipment, and Snowshoe-owned retail shops will be offering discounts of up to 50 percent on a variety of products including outer wear, footwear, skis, boards, and other ski and snowboard equipment.
Snowshoe's Outdoor Adventure activities, including guided snowmobile tours and snowcat tours, also will be offering special Last Hurrah savings.
The annual Last Hurrah Pond Skimming Event will take place Saturday, March 26. Daring skiers and riders will attempt to skim their way across a manmade lake on the resort's beginner slope just outside the Village. Snowshoe's DJ Judd will provide music, and revelers will compete in a "most rad" costume contest and will enjoy a Happy Hour "Survivors Party" at Moonshine Pub.
Lodging packages start at just $125 a night for a gold-rated junior studio in the resort's Village, accommodating up to four people, or $32 per person per night for accommodations and skiing and riding.
More information. Or call 877-441-4386.

She made the right choice keeping the car, the wrong choice to keep mentioning it.
She'd have likely been the one that left regardless though.
She made the right choice keeping the car, the wrong choice to keep mentioning it.
She'd have likely been the one that left regardless though.
She says as much in her Early Show interview. She was done for, she knew it, so she took the car and ran. I maintain that it's ludicrous to second guess the girl. It's very easy to say, "I woulda..." when there's nothing at stake and no real life context.She'd have likely been the one that left regardless though.
She can be proud of herself AFIC. She's one very tough lady.
Not only is she hot, but smart! She did the right thing by keeping that car. She had a 1 and 5 chance of winning survivor before and after winning the car, up until she was voted out of course. Giving the other 4 the cars would not have improved her odds one bit, and it definately would not have guaranteed her a million bucks. She walked away a winner regardless of being voted out. Good for her!
I think that if she had given the others the car, that they would have given her one anyway for her selfless decision. You know she would have had one waiting on her last night for a nice Pontiac feel-good moment at the finale. She would have had a better shot if she'd given up the car.
fka kickstand
Can Ya Dig It?
I know they have a sliding scale for how much people win. Anyone know the difference between fifth and fourth place wins? I would think you could probably buy at least part of a car with the difference.
No way Rafe would have voted against her if he had been given a car. And Steph was already on her side. She would have been guarenteed a 4th place spot. And I'm sure some car dealer in her hometown would have given her a car. Dumb move on her part. But I guess she wasn't known for making good moves.
All that is speculation. Would she have gotten a new car regardless of her decision? I doubt it, but we'll never know. She did the right thing by keeping it. Remember:
"In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes"
-Benjamin Franklin
the first place winner get $1,000,000.
the second place contestant gets $100,000 (1/10 of the first place prize).
and everyone else gets considerably less. Certainly not enough to in the increments between 5th place and 4th place to buy a car, as it is likely $50,000 for 3rd and dropping off from there down to minimum actor's scale for the early outs.
Help fight cystic fibrosis or just learn more about it at the cystic fibrosis foundation website, www.cff.org and help give my little guy a better future.
I was only joking about 'if you play softball you must be gay'
Good thing Cindy did not win a million bucks...she would not know how to handle it. She was talking way too much about her new car this and her new car that and her new car sunroof this and that. Can you only imagine if she won the million,
Also, I think it was a bad decision to keep it and not give 4 others a car, how selfish too.
How sad that the zoo fired her. After seeing the reunion show, you'd think that they would at least hire her back.
All things beautiful do not have to be full of color to be noticed; in
life that which is unnoticed has the most power.

In the closing moments of "Community" season 3, Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) finally worked up the courage to begin searching for his father online. But this fall, Jeff will be reunited with his dad, whether he wants to or not.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that James Brolin has signed on to play William Winger in the fifth episode of "Community" season four. The episode will be called "Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations" and take place on Thanksgiving as Jeff ends up in his father's home, coming face-to-face with William for the first time since Jeff was a child. Meanwhile, Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) hosts the other members of the Greendale 7 study group at her home… which quickly becomes an awkward situation.
Brolin has previously starred in "Hotel," "Pensacola: Wings of Gold," "Angel Falls" and "Extreme" in addition to hosting the first season of "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction." However, Brolin is perhaps best known for several of his memorable film appearances, including Capricorn One, The Amityville Horror, Traffic and Catch Me If You Can. More recently, Brolin has guest starred on "Psych" and "The Defenders."
"Community" will kick off its 13 episode fourth season beginning on Friday, October 19 on NBC. Brolin's episode is expected to air in early November.

Panorama software: Autopano Pro / Giga 3.0.7
The Kolor team has just released an update for Autopano Pro and Autopano Giga panorama software. This update is free for all users of version 3 and does not require a new registration key. This version mainly enhances the use of the computer's graphics card and brings bug fixes (read the change log below).
Download Autopano Pro / Autopano Giga 3.0.7
The change log
Main changes
Today, we are launching a new fix release that mainly improves the GPU (graphics card) usage.
We moved the GPU texture option to prevent confusion. GPU (and texture quality) is used for the panorama preview but does not change the final rendering quality.
We added a compression parameter: it is disabled by default because it creates visual artifacts in the preview (and only in the preview) but it can be useful for users that don't have enough GPU memory. Memory usage can be divided per 2, but CPU is used to compress textures. We advise you not to activate this if your panorama editor already runs well with the GPU.
We also enhanced the GPU processing to consume less memory and to better the reactivity.
Plugin support
Detection of the latest version of Adobe Bridge.
GPS heading support
Computing and transmission of the orientation of the panorama center when GPS information is available in the EXIF data.
Fixes since 3.0.6:
- 0002159: [Image I/O] Heading metadata
- 0002119: [Import plugins] Bridge CC support
- 0001750: [Editor] Crash when too many panos are created
- 0002163: [GPU] Rename 'Texture quality' option
- 0000039: [Performance] GPU mode uses more memory than CPU mode
- 0002167: [GPU] Add S3TC texture compression option
- 0002177: [Editor] Fix gpu preview for fisheye pano when k3 != 0

Lake Travis Deserving Of National Attention?
You can always tell the credibility of a national poll by the homework that's done behind the scenes scouring the nation's more than 17,000 high schools to determine who are truly the best high school football programs. It's an inexact science that we all know and understand, and truly difficult from the polling end to avoid naysayers finding cracks somewhere in the analysis.
Here in Texas, our perfect evidence in evaluating the latest national polls and finding a "crack" is to see which of the polls include Lake Travis High School outside Austin, and which polls don't.
Slow down now, Lake Travis fans. We have nothing at all against the Cavaliers, who are again riding the success of UT-bound quarterback Garrett Gilbert, soon-to-be-record-setting wideout Cade McCrary and new coach Chad Morris, the latter of whom knows a thing or two about leading championship programs. Our contention is that Lake Travis , enrollment 1,751, is hardly one of the top programs in the nation when a matchup for the reigning Class 4A, Div. II state champions against any of the top 20 Class 5A schools in Texas would be a tall, tall order.
However, in the national polls this week, Lake Travis is rated No. 20 by Rivals.com, No. 12 by MaxPreps.com as well as Fab 50, and No. 24 in the USA Today rankings.
The National Prep Poll is the only respected national source which has Lake Travis unranked.
Again, we love the growing program at Lake Travis, we know all the school's history (good and bad) dating back to respected coach Don Cowan and such great players that Gilbert has followed such as Ryan White, Todd Reesing and Robert Turner, just to name a few. But a 4A Texas high school in the national polls? You're kidding me.
We would have felt the same way during the past decade about Texas High in Texarkana, Ennis, La Marque or Highland Park (great 4A programs deserving of every accolade they receive) if any appeared in a national poll. It's not to say that Lake Travis or any of these 4A powers couldn't play with schools in the national top 20 or 25 … but find me a knowledgeable source here in Texas who says that the pecking order of the top 4 right now is (what many of the polls say) Euless Trinity, Plano, Galena Park North Shore and Lake Travis.
Like Lake Travis, Longview and Wichita Falls Rider may also fit that bill this season: very, very good 4A programs that could win a state championship in December, but a national ranking is out of the question as an expectation.
There's a reason why state-ranked Longview lost to 5A Allen last weekend. Even if the Lobos had won, no one in East Texas would have expected the Lobos to gain national attention even if a perfect season was accomplished this year. It just doesn't happen – or shouldn't happen, for 4A schools here in Texas .
Outside the state of Texas , where private schools traditionally compete with public schools and a Class 2A school regularly lines up against the best in its own state, is a totally different matter.
One could make a similar argument about our Oklahoma neighbors Jenks and Tulsa Union: two great programs in their own state, but out-of-their-league when matched against most of the nation's top schools. If you're waiting for Jenks or Union to play a 5A power in Texas any time soon – don't hold your breath. It's not going to happen.
Back to Lake Travis: the only scar on the 2007 ledger for the Cavs (15-1 as 4A, Div. II state champs) was a loss to 5A Westlake . It wasn't an upset then, because we just don't expect 4As to defeat 5As, unless you're talking about a great 4A program matched against a poor 5A. Lake Travis does play a hefty 5A schedule during its non-district season and last weekend held off Round Rock Westwood, 27-20. An upset? Hardly. Westwood probably isn't one of top 50 programs at the 5A level in Texas .
Notably, Lake Travis and Westlake play again on Thursday night in the " Battle of the Lakes" live on FSN Southwest. We're picking Lake Travis (the highly-regarded Padilla Poll also has LT has a 15-point favorite), because Westlake is no longer a top 20 school at the 5A level here in Texas. But it shouldn't make ESPN's ticker if the result is in favor of the Chaps.
We wouldn't make the same selection if it were Lake Travis against Odessa Permian, Spring Westfield, Abilene or Katy – just a handful of some quality 5A schools that are a notch below Trinity, Plano and Galena Park North Shore .

Taco USA Gets Praise from Booklist!
I've written two books before, but neither of them were ever reviewed by Booklist, the official review magazine of the American Library Association, and the bible for librarians nationwide to determine what books to buy for their collections. Gracias a Dios, the publication not only decided to review my upcoming Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America, but also give it some love!
The review isn't available online but will appear in their March edition. They say the book has a "chatty, lighthearted style" and that I have "mordant wit," which is pretty cool because I don't even think I'm particularly funny! The reviewer also noted how the spread of Mexican food in this country and its subsequent "transformation raises a host of questions for Arellano about the definition of authentic Mexican cooking." What are those questions? You'll find out April 10--preorder today!

Sloan Urry takes third place
May 30, 2014
JDX Racing landed at Lime Rock along with the wet weather on Thursday morning. Following two short practice sessions and qualifying on Friday, Sloan managed to qualify the #20 JDX Racing/Hertz Porsche in sixth position, only three tenths of a second off pole.
The 27-car field rumbled to turn one after the drop of the green flag, and Sloan muscled the #20 Porsche cleanly through turn one with a bold outside pass in the 180-degree "Big Bend," managing to grab one position by the time he arrived at turn three. Keeping pace with the lead pack was the primary focus and Sloan did just that, though he was not 100 percent happy with the balance of his Porsche.
A mid-race full-course caution brought the entire field of cars back together and allowed Sloan to adjust his technique in a few minor areas – and in such a way to extract every last ounce of performance from his car. Following the restart with approximately 20 minutes remaining, the #20 car settled in and was running fast laps, gaining ground on the leaders.
Sloan remained patient and took advantage of a combination of lapped traffic and some aggressive/opportunistic driving to move his car from sixth position to third. Not only did that move place him on the podium but it also awarded him the Yokohama "Hard Charger Award" for the race. Sloan continued to gain on the two cars ahead, but ran short of time and scored his third podium of the 2014 campaign.
Sloan Urry commented, "It had been four years since I last raced at Lime Rock and it was definitely a wild ride, including wheelies over the uphill every lap. Qualifying didn't go my way – I was only able to grab P6, but had the car to do better. Race one had some tough and close battles for sure. The race went yellow around the 25-minute mark, and once we went back to green, the JDX car seemed to come in and I had the fastest car on track. I managed to gain two positions as the cars in front of me got tangled up in their own battle in turn six. I was really looking forward to round six, but the stewards made the right call by canceling the race – the track conditions were gnarly."
Team co-owner Harrison Brix said, "Sloan did a great job this weekend. Lime Rock is a deceptively fast track, with an average lap speed of up to 105 mph on the 1.5-mile track, turning in lap times in 53 seconds flat. Sloan executed the plan precisely, he saw the two cars ahead of him, they opened the door and took those two positions, he raced smart and continued his march towards the championship."

Gamecock Central beat writer David Cloninger is on the way to New Jersey to cover tonight's USC-Princeton basketball game. Follow along by clicking here.
SOUTH CAROLINA (4-1) at PRINCETON (2-2)
When: 7 p.m. today
Where: Jadwin Gym, Princeton, N.J.
TV: None
Tickets: Available at the box office
South Carolina's probable starters: G Devan Downey 5-9 Jr. (19.2 ppg, 3.2 rpg); G Zam Fredrick 6-0 Sr. (15.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg); G Branden Conrad 6-2 Sr. (6.6 ppg, 3.2 rpg); F Dominique Archie 6-7 Jr. (10.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg); F/C Mike Holmes 6-7 So. (12.4 ppg, 10.6 rpg)
Princeton's probable starters: G Doug Davis 5-11 Fr. (17.3 ppg, 4.0 rpg); G Jason Briggs 6-2 Sr. (2.8 ppg, 2.5 rpg); G/F Patrick Saunders 6-7 Fr. (2.3 ppg, 3.8 rpg); C Pawel Buczak 6-10 Jr. (5.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg); F Kareem Maddox 6-8 So. (7.8 ppg, 6.0 rpg)
Notes: The Gamecocks play their second road game in five days before returning for a five-game homestand throughout the rest of the month. ... Princeton holds a 3-2 lead in the series but USC won the last game 54-48 two seasons ago. ... The Tigers will host an SEC team for just the second time in school history. The first was in 1985, when Vanderbilt beat Princeton 49-44. ... The Tigers are 4-13 against the SEC all-time, but that is counted against schools which were in the SEC at the time of the game. Only one win over USC was during the Gamecocks' tenure in the league (1992). ... USC is the first major-conference team to come to Princeton since Kansas visited in 2001.
Next game: USC hosts Furman at 6 p.m. on Friday.
Darrin Horn was disappointed with the loss, moreso after he reviewed it.
The Gamecocks didn't look nearly as good against College of Charleston the second time around, and when the final score didn't change (as if it could), Horn put it bluntly.
"After going back and reviewing the film ... we did not defend and rebound on the level that you have to for us to be our best and to have the opportunity to win a close game on the road in a tough environment against a good basketball team," Horn said on Monday, three days after USC's first loss of the season. "We probably never would have scheduled these games back to back, had we had a choice."
USC (4-1) lost its perfect start during an 82-80 overtime defeat to College of Charleston on Nov. 28, its first road game of the year. Now the Gamecocks must regroup quickly, fix what's wrong and add a few new wrinkles to prepare for the next opponent -- at Princeton (2-2), tonight.
It's an unusual occurrence for a major conference team to visit Princeton -- USC is the first to do it in seven years. But Horn looked past the quirkiness of it because of the obvious challenge it presents.
The Tigers are one of those historical giant-killers that play fundamental basketball. If you beat them, that's a very nice mark on your ledger.
If you beat them.
"I think as a team, what we've got to do is learn from what happened Friday night," Horn said. "You don't want to do that with losses but sometimes that's what happens."
Against Charleston, the Gamecocks coughed up a season-high 19 turnovers, regressed from their early-season strong showing on the offensive glass and shot 10 less free throws. Still, USC hit some big baskets and only lost by two points, in overtime, when a few too many impossible Cougar shots became possible.
"We stuck around and made some plays and gave ourselves a chance, to be in the game and have a chance to win, but when you look at the whole of it, we just didn't play at a level that we need to," Horn said. "It's going to be harder on the road."
And harder against Princeton, a team that plays slowdown basketball, burning the clock until a backdoor lane opens up. The Gamecocks will add a couple of tweaks into the defensive gameplan to try and stop it but will also keep up their usual approach.
"We're going to do what we do," Horn said. "Are some things much more important because of how they play? Sure."
It should help that Princeton doesn't appear to be the squad that routinely boasted a top-flight defense and maddeningly patient offense for 29 years under former coach Pete Carril. A year removed from a 6-23 season, the Tigers lost their first two games of the season, each at home, to Central Michigan and Maine.
They rebounded to beat Army and Fordham on the road and want to keep the streak going. If the Gamecocks show up and are as frigid handling the ball as they were against Charleston, it could be another sour night.
"But how many times did we drop passes or try to throw passes that just weren't, I mean, absolutely were not there?," Horn questioned about the Charleston game. "There were just too many turnovers like that where we dropped the basketball or got it slapped away or tried to make passes that just weren't there and on a couple of cases, had a couple of guys trying to do things that they don't need to be trying to do."
"You got to take care of the ball on the road," point guard Devan Downey said after the loss.
MULDROW: Horn somewhat clarified the status of sophomore forward Sam Muldrow, who has yet to play this year while serving an academic suspension. Horn said at the season's beginning that Muldrow would play when his academics were resolved and Monday was the first time he put a sort-of time frame on it.
"We told you all when we knew something on Sam we would let you know," Horn said. "At this point in time it does not look like he's going to be available to us until at least the end of the semester. And at what point after that, I don't know the answer to that either. Hopefully soon thereafter that, but we don't know."
It seems likely that Muldrow will miss Friday's game hosting Furman, the last contest before the exam break. Whether he will be eligible for the next game (Dec. 16 hosting N.C. Central) will be clarified later.
The semester ends on Dec. 15.
YOU DONE GOOD: Horn also congratulated his alma mater and former coaching stop, Western Kentucky, for beating then-No. 3 Louisville 68-54 two days ago.
"Happy for those kids, obviously," he said. "Also a testament to what happens when a group of young people believe they belong in that situation and can do it. Ultimately ... that confidence is what we're trying to do here. And we will. We'll get to that point."
The game was not scheduled when Horn was still coaching. Horn thought he knew why.
"Conveniently after we graduated six seniors," he quipped.

Walters Commons at St. Charles Preparatory School
Columbus, OH · Prices from $2800 - $5000
What we loved about this venue:
There was plenty of space and the room is nice and open so the tables were nicely spread out. The ceiling is so high that it almost felt like we were outside. The room was an addition to the high school in the last few years so one wall is entirely brick and makes a pretty back-drop. The people at St. Charles were very easy to work with.
Tips for working successfully with this site:
They have a list of approved caterers and at our wedding in 2009 the list was a grand total of two, so be prepared for that. You also do not have the reservation until you pay the deposit which is the full amount to rent the space. When we had our wedding in 2009 the Walters Common was fairly new but starting to gain in popularity so there might be a large lead time for booking it now.
The drawbacks of this venue were:
The short-list of approved caterers could be a drawback for some, however the caterer we wanted was on the list. A part of the fee for the venue includes police security for the parking lot, as the location is not in the best area of town. Also, there aren't any "walkable" hotels near-by and we felt kind of bad that our hotel was a significant distance away for our guests.
