Fresno Co. Judge rules in favor of Sheriff Mims in jail layoff dispute
Thursday, April 01, 2010
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Fresno County Judge ruled in favor of Sheriff Margaret Mims this morning in her dispute with the Fresno County Board of Supervisors over layoffs of correctional officers.
Details from the ruling order the Fresno County Board of Supervisors to rescind its earlier decision telling the county's administrative officer to block Sheriff Mims' layoffs of 23 correctional officers.
No word yet on what Sheriff Mims will do, but in the past she had planned to close a floor at the jail because of the layoffs, which would likely prompt the early release of inmates.

Can Vin Save The Cute Little Space Puppy In This New Clip From RIDDICK!?!?
From Yahoo Movies comes a clip from RIDDICK, opening in standard theaters and IMAX next week.
The footage finds our favorite Furian and his space puppy facing off against - a big, ugly, loud motherfucker.
Early word from Vin Diesel's Facebook page is that Universal execs were aglow about this film after a recent screening, and horny to make a fourth installment - which Diesel identifed as being Underverse centric (a call back to THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK). So if we show up for this one, more Riddick in our future seems almost assured. I'd love to see that happen.
I'm guessing the doglet in this clip grows up to be the beast glimpsed in some concept art from the film a while back?

Perhaps a better guess is: ZYGO'S BOD IS COMING TO GRIPS WITH THE FACT THAT THE FOREMOST GOAL OF A WELL RUN BUISNESS IS TO: Produce the highest quality products at the LEAST total cost and generate increasing profits for stake holders and employees. In order to accomplish this goal they realize the need for people with the talents and drive like GW and his CEO leading the employees/team to achieve this goal , The stock price has been much to low for much to long
I hope they get someone this time with the skills/levels of Gary Willis and Mark B.. Those were great years. I have a best friend out of WPI who is a VP for a great N.E.Manufacturer ( 58 Y.O.) who would be great. However, when I told him about the opening and suggested he look into it, he told me he plans to retire in a couple of years....How is the search going?

Movie Info
One man nervously ventures forth into the final frontier in this comedy starring comic actor Steve Carell. Andy Stitzer (Carell) is a cheerfully geeky guy who is settling into middle age with his large collection of comic books, action figures, and collectable models. Andy works in an electronics store, and seems reasonably happy with his life. However, one day his friends and co-workers David (Paul Rudd), Jay (Romany Malco), and Cal (Seth Rogen) discover that Andy has a secret -- due to his

If it were 20 minutes shorter, it would be that much closer to perfect.
At its best it resembles one of those classic early-'80s comedies starring Steve Martin -- the thinking man's Woody Allen -- boasting an acute mix of desperation, dignity, lunacy and indecorous wit.
Count me among the naysayers.
It's truly dirty and truly romantic at the same time, a combination that's very hard to pull off.
It's worth making a date with The 40-Year-Old Virgin. You won't go home disappointed.
The 40 Year-Old Virgin speaks to the geek in us all, it's democratic in its ridicule, and it makes you understand why sometimes a guy just wants to stay home and talk to his toys.
Apatow's creative miscalculation here extends well beyond forgetting to give his characters much to do: He made a comedy that's just not very funny
Judd Apatow might have been crowned the savior of American comedy, but the brutal truth is that he peaked with this, his first major hit. Sadly, so did Steve Carell. So savor this perfect moment that they shared, and scripted, together.
A pleasant surprise, The 40 Year Old Virgin stands apart from other gross out comedies mainly because of how it deals with the films main theme.
Simultaneously subversive and reactionary
Leave it to Judd Apatow to take a simple concept you'd find in basically any sex comedy, and add his own original twist on it.
funny all way through
Mr. Carell and Mr. Apatow traffic in random humor and though their ability to sustain it is impressive, it's at the expense of any real emotion. Which is a bit ironic.
Appeals equally to fans of no-holds-barred gross-out movies and those looking for something more intelligent. It's hilarious, surprisingly perceptive, and even sweet.
An infuriatingly-offensive, soft-porn primer on how to treat girls as objects who exist at the disposal of men.
The movie belongs to Carell, who takes a one-joke role and turns him into a three-dimensional human being.
There are lots of stereotypes about grown-up virgins, but the film stands these stereotypes on their head, so much so that, by the end, our protagonist seems like the sanest character of the bunch.
Apatow's sex comedy...hits its stride eventually, and keeps us rooting for it...thanks to its honesty and sweetness
The script is little more than an excuse for letting a bouncy team of sketch comics have their heads. Unlike most films pasted together in this way, it displays a certain cohesion.
The script by Carell and director Judd Apatow is not for the prudish or easily offended. That said, it's still one of the funniest movies of the year.
An often very funny sex comedy.
There's crude, lewd humour, bawdy innuendo and surprisingly plenty of heart in this bad-taste romantic comedy that insists we tag along for the fun.
Apatow genuinely loves his hero, and the film's innate sweetness carries it through the rough patches of a funny comedy with a central relationship that isn't particularly funny.
Audience Reviews for The 40 Year Old Virgin
But wait! its not all like that, its not gone completely down the 'Deuce Bigalow' route, beneath all the visual gags and nerd references there is actually a heart warming rom-com here. The film kicks off as you would expect and its really quite amusing, Carell is perfectly cast as the simple lonely virgin in his amazingly decent and spacious flat, How does he afford that place with the job he's in?!. Naturally Carell's character has been given the stereotypical nerd look, the silly childish way most males would perceive a single middle aged man with no girlfriend.
'Andy's' home is a haven for all sci-fi comic book merchandise geeks everywhere, a treasure trove of collectibles, action figures, boxed action figures, posters etc...the rather over used and cliched stereotypical view on single guys that might play Dungeons & Dragons too much. Admittedly it is amusing but it does kinda wane quickly to be honest, much like the humour. At first it is funny watching Carell struggle to fit in with his alcohol consuming friends, its probably awkward for most as I'm sure many of us have actually been in that position. Trying to fit in with your mates and not stick out like a sore thumb, we can all relate to these things at some point in our lives and this is why it does hit home and make you cringe and smile at the same time.
Problem was for me it all got very old very fast. The whole infantile college boy type humour, trying to score and pull birds, drinking whilst mocking Andy for the fact he gets more aroused by movie collectibles rather than women (at times). I do like Seth Rogan so that did help along the way, he always comes across like a lunatic about to flip which is hilarious. Thing is once we've had the 'outing' of Andy and the first few attempts to get him laid it just becomes boring.
As we get towards the end of course things get mushy as Andy does find the right woman, they have spats, realise they are meant for each other and eventually naturally become an item, happily ever after. Yeah yeah spoiler alert but who cares, like you can't see that coming a mile off. On the whole you gotta give kudos to Carell for making Andy such a likable guy and to Keener for giving such a touching caring performance as his older girlfriend. Thanks to them the film is elevated above a silly comedy purely about having sex. As for that song n dance routine at the very end...what the hell was that about?!.

IRVING, Texas -- Receiver Chris Henry was in uniform for Cincinnati's game Sunday at Dallas after serving a four-game suspension for violating the league's conduct policy.
AFC North blog
ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.
Henry was released by the Bengals following his fifth arrest in the offseason, but was brought back to the team by owner Mike Brown over the objections of coach Marvin Lewis. The Bengals released backup running back Kenny Watson on Saturday to make room on their 53-man roster.
Also playing Sunday for the Bengals was running back Cedric Benson, signed to a one-year deal earlier this week. Benson was released by Chicago following two offseason arrests in Texas involving alcohol, but the cases were dropped when grand juries chose not to indict last week.
Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, who missed last week with a sore passing elbow, was active.
Dallas cornerback Terence Newman was inactive after re-aggravating a groin injury that forced him to miss the entire preseason and the season opener. Patrick Watkins also was out because of lingering neck problems.

There is special entry requirements, and are a number of professional degrees in dentistry offered by dental schools in various countries around the world. These include the following:
There are a number of post-graduate degrees in dentistry as well.
In some universities, especially in the U.S., some post-graduate programs award Certificate only.
In Commonwealth countries, the Royal Colleges of dentistry (or Faculty of Dentistry of the College) awards post-nominals upon completion of a series of examinations.
In the U.S., most dental specialists attain Board Certification (Diplomate Status) by completing a series of written and oral examinations with the appropriate Boards. e.g. Diplomate, American Board of Periodontics.
Each fully qualifies the holder to practice dentistry in at least the jurisdiction in which the degree was presented, assuming local and federal government licensure requirements are met.

Australia has nine dental schools:
(*) indicates new university dental programs that have opened up to aim at increasing the number of rural dental students entering and to return to rural practice. Traditional "sandstone" universities have been Sydney, Melbourne, Queensland, Adelaide and Western Australia.
Sydney (as of 2001), Melbourne (as of 2010) and Western Australia (as of 2013) have switched to 4-year graduate program that require a previous bachelor's degree for admission.
Post-graduate training is available in all dental specialties. Degrees awarded used to be Master of Dental Surgery/Science (MDS/MDSc), but lately have changed to Doctorate in Clinical Dentistry (DClinDent).
New Zealand has only one dental school:
The Faculty of Dentistry awards Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and Master of Community Dentistry (MComDent) for public health & community dentistry, and Doctorate in Clinical Dentistry (DClinDent) for the other dental specialties.
Both Australia and New Zealand recognize the educational and professional qualifications and grant professional licenses via reciprocity identical to the United States and Canada.
The United Kingdom General Dental Council had been recognizing the Australian and New Zealand dental qualification as registrable degree until 2000. Graduates who have applied for dental license registration in the United Kingdom now have to sit the Overseas Registration Exam (ORE), a three-part examination.
Australia and Canada have a reciprocal accreditation agreement which allows graduates of Canadian or Australian dental schools to register in either country. However, this only applies to the graduates of 2011 class and does not apply to the previous years graduates.
Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (RACDS) is a post-graduate body that focuses on post-graduate training of general practitioners and specialist dentists. Additional post-graduate qualifications can be obtained through the College after the candidate has completed the Primary Examination (basic science examination in Anatomy, Histology, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology and Microbiology) and the Final Examination (clinical subjects in dentistry). After the successful completion of the examinations and meeting the College requirements, the candidate is awarded the title of Fellow of Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (FRACDS). For the dental specialists, the exam pathway is similar (Primary Examinations) and then clinical/oral examinations just prior to completing the specialist training leads to the award of the title Member of Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in Special Field Stream (MRACDS(SFS)). For the busy GP dentists, MRACDS in general stream is also available.
There are ten approved dental schools in Canada:
Several Universities in Canada offer the DDS degree, including the University of Toronto, the University of Western Ontario, the University of Alberta, and Dalhousie University, while the remaining Canadian dental schools offer the Doctor of Dental Medicine degree to their graduates.
Additional qualifications can be obtained through the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC) administers examinations for qualified dental specialists as part of the dentistry profession in Canada. The current examinations are known as the National Dental Specialty Examination (NDSE). Successful completion may lead to Fellowship in the College (FRCD(C)) and may be used for provincial registration purposes.
Canada has a reciprocal accreditation agreement with Australia and the United States which allows graduates of Canadian dental schools to work in any of the 3 countries.
In Finland, education in dentistry is through a 5.5 year Licenciate of Dental Medicine (DMD or DDS) course, which is offered after high school graduation. Application is by a national combined dental and medical school entry examination. As of 2011, dentistry is provided by Faculties of Medicine in 4 universities:
1st phase of training begins with a unified 2 year pre-clinical training for dentists and physicians. Problem-based learning (PBL) is employed depending on university. 3rd year autumn consists of clinico-theoretical phase in pathology, genetics, radiology and public health and is partially combined with physicians' 2nd phase. 3rd phase clinical training lasts for the remaining 3 years and includes periods of being on call at University Central Hospital Trauma Centre, Clinic of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases and at the Children's clinic. Candidates who successfully complete the 4th year of training qualify for a paid summer rotation in a Community health center of their choice. Annual intake of dentists into Faculties of Medicine is a national total 160 students.
Ph.D. research is strongly encouraged and is mandatory alongside post graduate training. Post graduate training is available in all 4 universities and lasts an additional 4–6 years.
Clinical dentistry:
Diagnostic dentistry:
In India, training in dentistry is through a 5 year BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) course, which includes 4 years of study followed by one year of internship. As of 2010, there were a total of 291 colleges (39 run by the government and 252 in the private sector) offering dental education. This amounts to an annual intake of 23,690 graduates.[2]
Post graduate training is for three years in the concerned speciality. Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) is offered in the following subjects -
Dental education in India is regulated by the Dental Council of India.
In Israel there are two dental schools, The Hebrew University-Hadassah School of Dental Medicine in Jerusalem, founded by the Alpha Omega Fraternity and The Tel Aviv University School of Dental Medicine in Tel Aviv. The two schools have 6-year program and provide Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degrees. In last decades, the students eligible to Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMedSc) degree after the first three years of training.
In the United States, at least three years of undergraduate education are required in order to be admitted to a dental school; however, most dental schools require at least a bachelor's degree. There is no mandatory course of study as an undergraduate other than completing the requisite "pre-dental" courses, which generally includes one year of general biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, English, and higher level mathematics such as statistics and calculus. Some dental schools have requirements that go beyond the basic requirements such as psychology, sociology, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology etc. The majority of pre-dental students major in a science but this is not required as some students elect to major in a non-science related field.
In addition to core prerequisites, the Dental Admission Test, a multiple choice standardized exam, is also required for potential dental students. The DAT is usually taken during the spring semester of one's junior year. The vast majority of dental schools requires an interview before admissions can be granted. The interview is designed to evaluate the motivation, character, and personality of the applicant.[citation needed] It is often a crucial step in the admissions process.[weasel words]
For the 2009-2010 application cycle, 11,632 applicants applied for admission to dental schools in the United States. Just 4,067 were eventually accepted. The average dental school applicant entering the school year in 2009 had an overall GPA of 3.54 and a science GPA of 3.46. Additionally, their mean DAT Academic Average (AA) was 19.00 while their DAT Perceptual Ability Test (PAT) score was 19.40.[3]
Dental school is four academic years in duration and is similar in format to medical school: two years of basic medical and dental sciences, followed by two years of clinical training (with continued didactic coursework). Before graduating, every dental student must successfully complete the National Board Dental Examination Part I and II (commonly referred to as NBDE I & II). The NBDE Part I is usually taken at the end of the second year after the majority of the didactic courses have been completed. The NBDE Part I covers Gross Anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, pathology, and dental anatomy and occlusion. The NBDE Part II is usually taken during winter of the last year of dental school and consists of operative dentistry, pharmacology, endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, pain control, prosthodontics, orthodontics, pedodontics, oral pathology, and radiology. NBDE Part I scores are of importance when considering residency training after graduating from dental school.[citation needed]
After graduating, the vast majority of new dentists go directly into practice while a small, yet increasing, percentage of dentists apply to a residency program.[weasel words] Some residency programs train dentists in advanced general dentistry such as General Practice Residencies and Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residencies, commonly referred to as GPR and AEGD. Most GPR and AEGD programs are one year in duration but several are two years long or provide an optional second year.[citation needed] GPR programs are usually affiliated with a hospital and thus require the doctor to treat a wide variety of patients including trauma, critically ill, and medically compromised patients. Additionally, GPR programs require residents to rotate through various departments within the hospital, such as anesthesia, internal medicine, and emergency medicine, to name a few. AEGD programs are usually in a dental school setting where the focus is treating complex cases in a comprehensive manner.
To practice, a dentist must pass a licensing examination administered by an individual state or more commonly a region. There are a handful of states that maintain independent dental licensing examinations while the majority accept a regional board examination. The Northeast Regional Board (NERB), Western Regional Board (WREB), Central Regional Dental Testing Service (CRDTS), and Southern Regional Testing Agency (SRTA), Council of Interstate Testing Agencies (CITA)[4] are the five regional testing agencies that administer licensing examinations. Once the examination is passed, the dentist may then apply to individual states that accept the regional board test passed. Each state requires prospective practitioners to pass an ethics/jurisprudence examination as well before a license is granted. To maintain one's dental license the doctor must complete Continuing Dental Education (CDE) courses periodically (usually annually). This promotes the continued exploration of knowledge. The amount of CE required varies from state to state but is generally 10-25 CE hours a year.
The completion of a dental degree can be followed by either an entrance into private practice, further postgraduate study and training, or research and academics.
In the United States, DDS and DMD degrees are equivalent. The American Dental Association specifies:
The DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) and DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) are the same degrees. They are awarded upon graduation from dental school to become a general dentist. The majority of dental schools award the DDS degree; however, some award a DMD degree. The education and degrees are the same.[5]
Harvard University was the first dental school to award the DMD degree.[6] Harvard only grants degrees in Latin and school administrators thought the Latin translation of Doctor of Dental Surgery ("Chirurgae Dentium Doctoris," or CDD) was too cumbersome. A Latin scholar was consulted and suggested "Medicinae Doctor" be prefixed with "Dentariae." This is how the DMD, or "Dentariae Medicinae Doctorae" degree, was started. Other dental schools made the switch to this notation, and in 1989, 23 of the 66 North American dental schools awarded the D.M.D. There is no difference between the DMD and DDS degree; all dentists must meet the same national and regional certification standards.[7]
The United States Department of Education and the National Science Foundation do not include the DDS and DMD or other professional doctorates among the degrees that are equivalent to research doctorates.[8][9]
Training in South Africa generally comprises a 5 year degree, with 1 year compulsory medical service / internship. The country has 5 universities with dental faculties:[10]
Institution | School | Founded | Location | Programme(s) |
University of KwaZulu-Natal | Durban | Diploma in Dental Therapy | ||
University of Limpopo | MEDUNSA Campus, Pretoria | BDS | ||
University of Pretoria | School of Dentistry | Pretoria | BChD, MChD (Master of Dentistry), MSc Dentistry, PhD (Dentistry), DSc | |
University of the Western Cape | Faculty of Dentistry | Cape Town | B.Ch.D | |
University of the Witwatersrand | Johannesburg | BDS |
Until 2003, Stellenbosch University offered the B.Ch.D degree. In 2004 the dental faculties of The University of the Western Cape and Stellenbosch University merged and moved to The University of the Western Cape, which is currently the largest dental school in Africa.
Specialisation is through the College of Dentistry within the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa, with certifications offered in oral medicine and periodontics, orthodontics, and prosthodontics. Research degrees are the M.Dent and Ph.D.. See also Medical education in South Africa.
Many universities award BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) degrees, including Queen Mary University of London, The University of Birmingham, The University of Liverpool, The University of Manchester, The University of Glasgow, The University of Aberdeen, King's College London, the University of Cardiff, Newcastle University, and Queen's University Belfast.
In the Republic of Ireland, two universities award BDS degrees, namely: University College Cork and Trinity College Dublin.
The University of Leeds awards BChD and MChD (Bachelor/Master of Dental Surgery) degrees.[11]
The Royal Colleges of Surgeons in England, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Ireland award LDS (Licence/Licentiate in Dental Surgery) degrees.
In addition to general dentistry, there are about 9 recognized dental specialties in the US, Canada,India and Australia. To become a specialist requires one to train in a residency or advanced graduate training program. Once residency is completed, the doctor is granted a certificate of specialty training. Many specialty programs have optional or required advanced degrees such as a masters degree: (MS, MSc, MDS, MSD, MDSc, MMSc, MPhil, or MDent), doctoral degree: (DClinDent, DChDent, DMSc, PhD), or medical degree: (MD/MBBS specific to maxillofacial surgery and sometimes oral medicine).
The following are not currently recognized dental specialties in the US:
Dentists who have completed accredited specialty training programs in these fields are designated registrable (U.S. "Board Eligible") and warrant exclusive titles such as orthodontist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, endodontist, pedodontist, periodontist, or prosthodontist upon satisfying certain local (U.S. "Board Certified"), (Australia/NZ: "FRACDS"), or (Canada: "FRCD(C)") registry requirements.

Yes: The GOP must disavow unelected lobbyist's dictatorial 'no-tax' pledge
By Rep. Lynn Woolsey
WASHINGTON — Sometimes, only satire can capture the absurdity of the moment. A recent headline from The Onion read: "Congressman Torn Between Meaningless Pledge to Anti-Tax Zealot, Well-Being of Nation."
It's funny — and also frightening — because it underscores a basic truth about our politics.
Grover Norquist, an unelected right-wing lobbyist accountable to no one except his wealthy funders, has had the Republican Party in his hip pocket for several decades. All but a handful of congressional Republicans have signed his pledge never, ever to raise taxes. Perhaps no other individual is more responsible for the intransigence and irresponsibility of the modern GOP.
Remember the Republican presidential debate when all the candidates raised their hands to say they would not accept even a budget deal that included $10 in spending cuts for every dollar of tax increases? It was Norquist's power that they feared at that moment.
With the "fiscal cliff" deadline looming, it is time finally for the Republicans to exercise true statesmanship by defying Norquist and asking the most privileged among us to assume a little more sacrifice.
Allowing the upper-bracket Bush tax breaks to expire simply restores the tax rates of the Clinton years, a time of unprecedented, widely-shared prosperity. By contrast, the supply-side/trickle-down philosophy has failed at everything except making the wealthy wealthier.
The money to close the deficit will come from somewhere. If it doesn't come from upper-income Americans, then it will be taken from middle-class working families who have already taken a punch to the gut during this economic downturn. It will come from poor families who need a hand-up to get back on their feet. It will be taken from seniors who have worked a lifetime and earned a dignified retirement.
But the bottom line is this: any cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits are unacceptable. As a matter of fundamental fairness and moral decency, our fiscal policy cannot be based on coddling those who have the most and squeezing those who have the least.
In fact, Social Security is not paid for out of the general fund and therefore has no impact on the federal deficit.
The Norquist vision, as he has famously said, is a government so small "we can drown it in the bathtub." He apparently believes that people who need government support ought to be washed down the drain. But what we need is a government that helps Americans stay confidently afloat, even through tough storms and choppy waters.
That's what Americans voted for last month. They emphatically rejected Mitt Romney's view that 47 percent of our people are undeserving freeloaders with no sense of personal responsibility. They voted for more progressive taxation; they voted for a fair shake for everyone; they voted for a level playing field and a government that is on their side.
Norquist speaks for a minority faction and a narrow special interest, not for the American people. A Washington Post-ABC News poll from a few weeks ago showed 60 percent of Americans supporting an increase in taxes for every dollar earned beyond $250,000 a year as a way of addressing the so-called "fiscal cliff."
The good news is there are signs Norquist's grip is loosening. Several Republican lawmakers have indicated a willingness to violate the "pledge" in order to solve the deficit problem, though most still want to cut middle-class programs as well.
Norquist has responded with bizarre personal outbursts, equating the pledge with marital vows and saying of one Republican member: "I hope his wife understands that commitments last a little more than two years or something."
It's time for Republicans to break free from Norquist's clutches. For the good of the country and also the Republican Party, it's time to toss Norquist's no-tax pledge over the cliff.
Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., serves as national president of Americans for Democratic Action.

The A&M-Commerce Lions held off a hot-shooting A&M-Kingsville group in the game's final minute for a 68-66 win, it's first in in Lone Star Conference play this year, on Wednesday at The Field House.
The Lions (12-2, 1-1 LSC) hit 16 of its 20 foul shots in the second half, including nine of 10 in the final 2:09 to withstand an A&M-Kingsville (5-8, 0-1 LSC) playing its first game since December 18. Still, you would never know the Javelinas had been off for three weeks as they tied a season-high with 10 three-point buckets, including three in the game's final two minutes to erase what was an eight-point Lion lead late in the game.
Devondrick Walker led the Lions with 16 points and four rebounds on the night, hitting a pair of triples and all four of his attempts from the foul line. Meanwhile, Tyrie Wooten finished with 14 points and three steals, doing the majority of his damage at the charity stripe where he went a perfect 10-for-10.
That duo combined for nearly half of the Lion's offensive output, and aside from a Kenny Brown free throw, were the only Lions to score in the final 11 minutes of the game.
Christian Macauley nearly picked up a double-double, going for 10 points with eight rebounds and four blocked shots, while LaDon Carnegie added 11 points and five rebounds in just 19 minutes of work.
Irvin Hollinger led the Javelinas, hitting four three-point buckets and going for 17 points, helping A&M-Kingsville to a 35-14 edge in bench scoring.

NORMAN — Oklahoma left the Lloyd Noble Center floor feeling an emotion that has become far too common on Monday. The 71-68 loss to Missouri was another tough loss in a season that's getting tougher every day.
The loss to the fourth-ranked Tigers was OU's third straight and dropped them to 13-10 overall and 3-8 in the Big 12 Conference.
It's not where the Sooners expected to be at this point in the season.
"It is frustrating, I know, to the players, coaches and fans, to everyone to not get the result that we want," OU coach Lon Kruger said. "We just have to keep getting better. We keep telling our guys afterwards, 'good battle and good work, but we've got to keep doing things from a habit standpoint to have more good possessions in a ball game, enough to get over the hump against good basketball teams.'"
That hump has been like Mt. Everest to Sooners. It's the one it has faced in just about every conference game. It's there to be climbed with around 10 minutes to go in the game. Teams that win typically make a run around that point and take control of tight game or battle back to even after struggling earlier.
In the last two games against Iowa State and the Tigers, OU's been trailing at that point and trying to scramble to get back into it.
Against the Cyclones, it was down by eight with 10 minutes. It tied the game a couple minutes later, but the energy it took to get the game back to even was gone.
Monday night, the Sooners only trailed by three with 10 minutes to go. But it never had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead until the final possession.
Once again, that hump couldn't be scaled. Once again, OU is struggling for answers why.
"Confidence wise, I think we're right where we need to be," point guard Sam Grooms said. "We just go to play, show it on the court."
That hump is unrelenting. There isn't a sherpa that can lead a team over it. Kruger knows exactly where it is, but a coach can only do so much. Players have to do the climbing and the rugged Big 12 offers no easy paths.
"In this league you are always playing good teams," Kruger said. "I know we have some work to do. The guys will keep working at it."
The Sooners' next shot comes on Saturday at Texas Tech (7-16, 0-11 Big 12). It's a game the Sooners should win. But it's still a game where that critical point in the second half will arrive. The winner either puts the game away or makes it a see-saw contest down the stretch.
Until OU starts playing its best at that critical time, winning is going to be an uphill battle.

For all the attention paid to women in this race, there's another gender gap — with white men.
The Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan campaigned in northeastern Florida on Friday, where thousands of men had descended on Daytona Beach for the annual motorcycle festival Biketoberfest.
A bunch of them were at Willie's Tropical Tattoo smoking cigarettes, drinking beer and listening to music.

Detroit singer-songwriter Rodriguez has finally found the fame that had eluded him for more than four decades. In the early '70s, he achieved cult status in South Africa, while at home, he remained virtually unknown. His public obscurity sparked rumors that he'd killed himself, but while he was alive and well, he'd retreated from music, earning a philosophy degree while working as a demolition man.

After President Obama's self-described somnolent first debate performance, his female supporters lit up social media and tagged the campaign with complaints about his failure to talk about their issues, from pay equity to health and reproductive rights.
He's been playing catch-up ever since, focusing on shoring up his party's two-decade-long domination with female voters who are key to Obama's hold on the White House.
In Colorado, the presidential race is a statistical dead heat. The state went heavily for candidate Barack Obama in 2008 — but the president is now facing fierce headwinds.
Obama won last time by 9 points, an astounding margin in a state that hadn't gone Democratic since 1992. One Democratic strategist calls 2008 a one-time case of "irrational exuberance," especially among Colorado's large contingent of swing voters.
Tonight in Austin, Livestrong, the cancer organization founded by Lance Armstrong, is holding its 15th anniversary gala and Armstrong is scheduled to speak at the event. But it's been a bad stretch for the champion cyclist. In the face of a scathing report linking him to doping, he stepped down as chairman of Livestrong and he lost major sponsors, including Nike.
