Good as Gold
Hunter won his seventh straight Gold Glove award on Tuesday. I actually
am fine with that. Sure, he definitely did not deserve it in 2006, but he was
much better again in 2007. The pleasant surprise came from the news that Johan
Santana won his first Gold Glove Award. It was definitely deserved as he has
been the best fielding pitcher in the AL for a few years. The situation really
is so similar to when Santana was trying to become a starter in the big leagues.
The Twins' powers-that-be (incorrectly) decided that Kenny Rogers should be starting for the Twins rather than Santana.
Eventually Santana did get his rightful rotation spot. Likewise, Kenny Rogers had (incorrectly) won the
last couple of AL Gold Glove Awards instead of Santana, but finally Santana has
I think an argument could be made for Justin Morneau
as a Gold Glove 1B as he really has done a nice job over there. Howver, the selection of Kevin Youklis, who had no errors at 1B
this year, is far from a bad choice.
You can also argue that Joe Mauer is already a better defensive
catcher than Ivan Rodriguez. You would be right. This is certainly a reputation
winner. However, if Mauer had been able to stay
healthy more and catch more games AND hit like he did in 2006, he probably
would have won.
Punto over Adrian Beltre?
No contest. The Mariners 3B is much better!
Down in Arizona on Tuesday, Nick Blackburn threw four more shutout
innings. He gave up four hits and struck out three. He now has a 1.59 ERA for
the AFL. Matt Macri went 0-4 and is now down to .279.

Pet insurance is growing in popularity. More people are asking about it. And in tough economic times, more pet parents need it to be able to afford quality veterinary care. But what's right for your clients?
These 5 questions can help you evaluate the options and offer the best fit in your portfolio of products. If you'd like to learn more, register online today!
A pet insurance plan needs to give clients the right amount of coverage—and be affordable for their budget. Our entry level accident and illness plan on average costs 34% less than similar plans offered by other providers, and 60% less than the most expensive of these plans.* If you hear promises of really high payouts elsewhere, look closely at the cost of the plan. Will clients need to raise their deductible a significant amount just to afford it? Even with our lower premiums, fewer than 2% of our customers hit their plan's incident limit in 2010.+
ASPCA Pet Health Insurance plans reimburse up to 90% of eligible charges from the actual veterinary bill. Our reimbursements aren't limited by a benefit schedule, which pays a fixed amount per diagnosis regardless of the treatments pets need. We also don't exclude veterinarians' exam fees. Since more than 60% of claims include this fee, this can have a big impact on clients' payouts.** Finally, we don't require a per incident deductible that would reduce the reimbursement for every single injury or illness. We have a low $100 annual deductible that only needs to be meet once per plan year, no matter how many incidents occur.
Wellness care is an important way help pets live a long and happy life. That's why we have two options for wellness care. For little additional cost, pet parents can cover their pets for annual exams, spay/neuter, many vaccines and tests, an annual dental cleaning and flea and heartworm medication.
With pet insurance, pet parents visit any licensed veterinarian to treat their pet, then they pay the veterinarian at the time of service and submit a claim to the pet insurance company for reimbursement. But there are some key differences in this process. ASPCA Pet Health Insurance does not require a diagnosis for reimbursements. That can have a big impact in cases with a hard-to-pinpoint cause. Also, we don't ask the veterinarian to sign or fill out any portion of our claim form, so customers don't have to worry about bringing along forms or making a special trip.
The Hartville Group, one of the oldest and largest pet insurance providers in the US, provides ASPCA Pet Health Insurance through its licensed agency. We have the experience and resources necessary to give you the best balance between coverage and cost. Plus, Hartville is the only strategic partner for pet insurance of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®), and it has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (2012).

"Dressed To Drill" German Dentists & Nurses Show Off Their Fillings To Distract Patients
Boobs: they make everything better. Moobs: not so much. Still, I would touch one if I had my eyes closed and dude had the decency to shave his nipple hair. What? I'M NATURALLY CURIOUS. Enter the most progressive dentistry practice in the world:
Dr. Marie Catherine Klarkowski whose practice is in Munich in southern Germany said that she came up with the idea after watching the way male visitors to the local Oktoberfest enjoyed looking at the traditional low-cut Dirndl dresses.
So she ordered for herself and her 10 staff similar frilled blouses in the same style with low cut cleavages and tight bodices that work like a push-up bra.For Dr Klarkowski the investment paid off - she has a third more patients since the change - all of them male.
Dr. Klarkowski added: "Competition doesn't sleep - I know colleagues who have decorated their whole practice with Mickey Mouse and one even in Star Trek style."
Whoa whoa whoa -- A STAR TREK DENTIST?! Forget boobs, I want to boldly go where no man has gone before! *hitting nitrous tank* "GW to Moonbase Alpha, come in Moonbase Alpha. There's a man here with clip-on Vulcan ears trying to disengage my pants' deflector shield. Do you read me? I'm going to pretend I'm asleep and see where this goes, over."

News Release
Friday, October 28, 2011
Media contact: Katie Purcell, 850-459-6585
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is requesting public comment on proposed anchoring and mooring ordinances for the city of St. Augustine.
St. Augustine was chosen as a site for a legislatively directed anchoring and mooring pilot program, as were Stuart in partnership with Martin County; Marathon and Key West partnering with Monroe County; St. Petersburg; and the city of Sarasota.
The goal of the program is to explore potential options for regulating the anchoring or mooring of non-live-aboard vessels outside the boundaries of public mooring fields. Among other things, this should help promote public access to Florida's waters, enhance navigational safety and protect the marine environment.
The city and/or county government for each participant site is responsible for soliciting public input for the ordinance-development process. The city of St. Augustine has held public-input meetings to gather suggestions and information on local problems related to anchoring and mooring in the area.
The FWC's role is to provide consultation and technical assistance. St. Augustine's proposed ordinances have been posted at MyFWC.com/Boating (click on "Anchoring & Mooring"). Members of the public are asked to provide comments through Nov. 6. For more information on the pilot program, call 850-488-5600.
FWC Facts:Just like fish, blue crabs use gills to breathe. But unlike fish, blue crabs can survive out of water for over 24 hours, as long as their gills are kept moist.

- Settlement Agreements
Information for Injured Workers Regarding Settlement Agreements
Workers' compensation laws require employers or insurance carriers to pay for injuries arising at work. The Labor Commission is here to make sure that workers' compensation laws are followed.
Utah law allows settlements of workers compensation claims. But, the law requires that the Commission approve these agreements. So, even though the injured worker and insurance carrier have come to an agreement, the Commission must still approve it.
There are two kinds of settlement agreements: 1) Compromise settlements: used when the parties disagree whether a workers' compensation benefit is owed to the injured worker; and 2) Commutation settlements: used when the parties agree that a workers' compensation benefit is owed.
The information the Commission needs is different for each kind of settlement.
Compromise Agreements: The Commission makes sure the claim has been denied for a reason the law allows. The Commission will look at each side to see if a real dispute exists and if the compromise is fair.
Commutation Agreements: A commutation is an estimate of all the future compensation and medical expenses that will come due on a non-disputed claim. Money is paid to "buy out" the claim. To decide whether the estimate is fair, the Commission looks at information like:
- why a commutation is needed (only allowed under "special circumstances")
- medical opinion estimating future treatment and costs
- nature and severity of injury
- the injured worker's age
- permanent work restrictions because of injury
- how long the injured worker has been medically stable
- injured worker's ability to return to old job or perform new work
- whether the employer is providing permanent modified duty
- length of time injured worker has been working since injury
The Commission may consider all of this information, but still may choose not to approve the commutation agreement, especially if future medical treatment or ability to work are too uncertain.
The Commission urges injured workers to be cautious in considering a settlement agreement. Approved settlement agreements are final. No more compensation or medical expenses will be paid if the agreement is approved. Please read and carefully consider any agreement before signing.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computing
This guideline is a part of the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Use common sense in applying it; it will have occasional exceptions. Please ensure that any edits to this page reflect consensus. |
Manual of Style |
This page proposes style guidelines for creating and editing articles on computers, software, networking, the Internet and information technology. Other policies and guidelines should also be followed. The general rules from the Wikipedia:Manual of Style also apply.
Titles and acronyms[edit]
Avoid abbreviations and acronyms, except when the subject is almost never spelled out. For example, Voice over Internet Protocol is the acceptable title, but not Voice over IP or VoIP. In the body however, acronyms may be used, provided that they are spelled out all on their first use; put the acronym in parentheses after the spelled-out name.
Never use parentheses at the end of article titles to show acronyms, e.g., do not use Voice over IP (VoIP). This notation is used to disambiguate a computer term from another article using the same name. For example, this notation is used to disambiguate cookie (computing) from cookie.
Do not overuse capital letters. Do not use capital letters for each word of a phrase just because the phrase is the article title, is a heading or has a corresponding acronym in parentheses. Standards documents or marketing material often overuse capital letters. Wikipedia style, however, uses more common English style of using capital letters only for true proper names. Some terms start as proper names and then become applied to generic concepts. Normal English is used for normal English words, while initial capitals can be used when the word is a newly coined one, such as Ethernet.
Use the most common name for the title. When a technology is defined by an official standard or standards body, use its common name as article title (such as 10-gigabit Ethernet) but create a redirect for the official or technical names (such as IEEE 802.3ae). In some cases such as Wi-Fi, the common (in this case, trademarked) name can have a separate article from the standard, when they are independently notable enough to justify separate articles. Each edition or amendment to the standard need not have its own article, unless they are separately notable such as IEEE 802.11n-2009 and IEEE 802.11g-2003.
For computer technology trademarks, please adhere to Wikipedia policies and style guidelines regarding trademarks. For trademarks in all capital letters or all small letters, use standard English: Use initial capital letter. For example, Unix instead of UNIX. There is no reason to explain this in the body of each article.
Avoid common mistakes[edit]
Keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. Since it is not a dictionary, each term or product does not always get its own article. Often, they are combined into topics that can be the subject of a single high quality encyclopedia article.
Product directory[edit]
" | An article about a product should include a history of its development and major improvements. But avoid a complete step-by-step record of every release or update. | " |
—Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not § Wikipedia is not a directory |
Avoid just pasting lists of features into the article, since they can become dated or removed as advertisement or copyright violations. Avoid relative time references (such as "currently", "lately" or "now").
Version versus product name[edit]
Each software product version must be referred to with the most common name.
Software vendors often use one of the following approaches to refer to a specific version of a software product:
- They include the version number in their reference, e.g. WinRAR 4, WinRAR version 3 and WinRAR v2.
- They change the product name with each release, e.g. Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Video games add a twist to this scheme. Video game vendors often make sequels and prequels for their most notable products. They use numbers in their video game titles to show their relationship. For instance Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 3 are two distinct but related video games. However, numbers that are part of the title are not version numbers. A separate version number may still be used. For instance, Red Alert 2 v1.008 is an updated version of Red Alert 2.
Consistently use the most common product name. For example, use (Windows XP, not Windows v5.1 or Windows NT v5.1). Do not confuse and combine these methods, e.g. never use Red Alert v2 or Red Alert version 2 to refer to Red Alert 2. Do not invent novel short forms and abbreviations.
Service pack[edit]
Service packs or service releases are computer software that modify other computer software to fix their bugs or improve them. When referring to service packs, please make proper distinction between the version of software product which is serviced via a service pack and the service pack itself.
To refer to a service pack, write down the full name of service pack. For example:
- Windows XP Service Pack 2
- WinZip 9 Service Release 1
To refer to a software product updated with a service pack, write: [Product name] with [Service pack name].
- Windows XP with Service Pack 2
- WinZip 9 with Service Release 1
Alternatively, you can specify the version identifier of the software product for conciseness. For example:
- Windows XP SP2
- WinZip 9 SR-1
Try to use one of these two styles consistently throughout the entire article prose: Using both may confuse the readers with little technical knowledge as they may not understand that both forms refer to the same entity.
x86 versus IA-32[edit]
Do not use these two terms (that are sometimes used interchangeably) in a manner that causes ambiguity or limits the audience of the article.
x86 is a type of CPU first developed by Intel corporation, and later by others. There are two different variations of x86 in widespread use: IA-32 and x64. However, due to the dominance of IA-32, the term "x86" is often used to refer to IA-32. (See metonymy.) Therefore, these terms must be used with care.
Example of correct usage:
- "This computer program runs on x86."
- "This computer program runs on IA-32 or x64."
- "This computer program runs on IA-32 but not x64."
Examples of incorrect usage:
- "This computer program runs on x86 but not x64."
- "This computer program runs on x86 or x64."
32-bit and 64-bit[edit]
Do not use the terms "32-bit", "64-bit" or other such terms of bit lengths to refer to computer, CPU or software architectures. These terms are too vague and can cause a lot of ambiguity or misinformation.
These terms are often used to refer to two well-known CPU architecture types: IA-32 (a 32-bit variant of x86) and x64 (a 64-bit variant of x86). However, neither is IA-32 the only 32-bit CPU architecture in the world nor is x64 the only 64-bit CPU architecture available.
Examples of incorrect usage:
- "This software application only runs on 64-bit CPUs."
- "The 32-bit edition of this product [...]"
Example of correct usage:
- "This software application only runs on x64 CPUs."
- "The IA-64 edition of this product [...]"
- "The .z80 build created specifically for Zilog Z80 and compatible CPUs [...]"
Linux vs. GNU/Linux[edit]
Use "Linux" to refer to the family of operating systems based on the "Linux kernel", not "GNU/Linux". Note that this practice does not apply to proper names of individual operating system; e.g. "Debian GNU/Linux".
GNU/Linux naming controversy does exist and "GNU/Linux" is a name advocated by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). Wikipedia, however, prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources). The consensus of discussions in Talk:Linux/Name is that the point of view of the FSF is not the common English-language usage.
Not providing source[edit]
In Wikipedia, everything needs sources, including but not limited to software release dates, software package sizes, supported languages and the programming languages used to develop software products. Avoid any unreferenced assertions, including but not limited to "multilingual", "written in C++" or "developed for Windows".
Avoid using strange forms of language. On the contrary, editors must stick to the most commonly used forms to make sure the readers feel at home. Do not use synonyms of a certain words just because they are synonyms; collocation is very important.
For instance:
- Computer programs that are no longer developed are called "abandonware". Do not use "forgottenware" or such novel terms. (See abandonware)
- The act of ceasing development of a software product is called "discontinuation". Do not use "abandonment" or similar alien terms. (See software release cycle and end-of-life (product))
- Computer programs run on a certain operating system or platform. Do not use "run under" or "run beneath".
- Computer programs run in context or within the context of a user account. Do not use "under", "beneath", "on", "inside" or "over". While these variations may be okay in informal speech, Wikipedia:Featured article criteria demands the use of professional style.
- "Log on", "Log in" and "Sign in" are all verbs that mean to "supply credentials for authentication". However, users either "log on to their computers" or "log in to their computers". They never "sign in to their computers". "Sign in" is only used for the authentication over the Internet.[a] (See login)
- "Disc" and "disk" both refer to digital storage media. However, "disc" collocates with optical media, as in Compact Disc, Blu-ray Disc, while "disk" collocates with magnetic media, as in hard disk, floppy disk and solid state disk.
Optional styles[edit]
The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style. Revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable.[b] Where there is disagreement over which of the styles to use in an article, maintain status quo.
Do not edit-war over:
- Choosing one of the many synonyms for a concept, e.g. "shareware", "trialware" or other synonyms; "x64" or "x86-64"; "Proprietary software" or "closed-source"
- Using one word or many word for the same concept, e.g. "x86" or "IA-32 and x64"
- Ascending or descending sort order
- Inserting one of the multiple URLs that all point to the same place and none has any advantage over the other
- Any other multiple forms of the same thing
Screenshots of software[edit]
Command-line elements[edit]
This section outlines the guideline for incorporating elements of terminals or command-line interpreters into Wikipedia articles, including syntax of shell commands or programs.
General guidelines[edit]
- When providing command-line examples or discussing command-line elements, maintain clarity and simplicity.
- Command-line elements should be presented in a monospaced font. For inline references, use
tag pair. In case of presenting multiple lines of command-line code, either prefix each line with a space character or enclose then all in a
...

tag pair. - Avoid referencing environment variables, dates, working directories, usernames, and hostnames unless they are relevant in the example.
- Adhere to the following terminology:
- An option or switch is something that modifies the general behavior of the command.
- A parameter is a specific value, such as a file name or host name.
- An argument is any set of characters that follow a command name, including both options and parameters. See Parameter (computing) § Parameters and arguments.
- When presenting arguments, maintain simplicity; specify them only when necessary and with clear explanations. Remember that Wikipedia is not a substitute for manual pages. Do not document the entire list of options associated with a command unless such descriptiveness has encyclopedic purpose.
- Identify parameter placeholders with logical names in italics. These names should not contain spaces, as spaces are used to separate multiple arguments on the command line. The following are some examples:
(prompt) command parameter-name
(prompt) command ParameterName
(prompt) command parameter_name
(prompt) command parametername
- Enclose optional arguments with square brackets: [ and ].
- Specify repeating parameters using one of the following styles:
(prompt) command parameter0 [.. parameterN]
(prompt) command [parameter ...]
- Zealously maintain consistency in applying optional styles explained above for the entire article.
Platform-specific guidelines[edit]
Microsoft Windows[edit]
The most common operating system in use today is Microsoft Windows, whose command-line syntax has once been based on that of MS-DOS; with the increasing popularity of Windows PowerShell, however, the style has moved towards that of Unix-like systems and programming languages. As such, stick to MS-DOS and OS/2 guideline for command-line elements and examples of Command Prompt and Recovery Console. In case of Windows PowerShell, however, adhere to the Unix-like systems and Windows PowerShell guideline below.
DOS and OS/2[edit]
The following additional guidelines are for DOS command-line examples:
- Write the names of commands and programs all upper-case letters.
- Standard MS-DOS–style options (of the form /C where C is some character) should also be upper-case, unless they are case sensitive.
- Contrast program names against built-in command names by appending their file extension. If a program is not included with certain versions of MS-DOS (such as MOVE.EXE or EDIT.COM), then the versions for which it is known to be included should be indicated.
Unix-like systems and Windows PowerShell[edit]
- Shell builtins commands and cmdlets (such as cd and history) should be indicated as such.
- Avoid shell-specific commands or utilities (such as the for loop or certain stream behaviors) whenever possible, because of the great variation in shells across Unix-like systems. If a shell-specific sequence is required for proper explanation, provide an example for the ALGOL-like shells (Bourne shell, Korn shell, and Bash) as well as one for the C-like syntax of C shell and tcsh.
- Adhere to case-sensitivity requirements of the shell. The names of most commands on Unix-like systems are entirely in lower-case characters while the shell and operating environment are both case-sensitive. Windows PowerShell is not case-sensitive; so write cmdlet names in their natural English form to ease reading and memorizing. Write Unix-derived aliases (such as
) in lowercase. Use the wrongtitle template when necessary. - Differentiate commands that normally require privileged access from those that do not require it.
- In some cases, the value of a parameter will commonly contain shell metacharacters. In these cases, it may be wise to specify quoting in the example to prevent users from receiving errors that to them will seem strange and unrelated.
- Always specify the minimum (and, if applicable, the maximum) version number of the shell that supports the command. Linux (owing to its open-source nature) and Windows PowerShell may introduce new commands at any time.
Providing sample output[edit]
It may often be useful to provide a sample of the output that a command generates. In these cases, the full command and all arguments as they were typed are given. The output of the command will therefore be specific to environment and other variables. The tags
...

, <nowiki>...</nowiki>
and <SyntaxHighlight>...</SyntaxHighlight>
(with proper arguments) prevent conflicts with the wiki markup syntax.
Examples of usage[edit]
The DIR built-in command on DOS, which lists files and directories:
> DIR [options] [pattern ...]
The program MOVE.EXE on MS-DOS (whose behavior had to be emulated prior to its introduction):
> MOVE.EXE source target
General Unix[edit]
The ls command on Unix-like systems, which lists files and directories:
$ ls [options] [file ...]
The mkfs command, which creates new file systems and as such usually requires privileged access:
# mkfs [-t fstype] [fs-options] device
The Wget program, one of the GNU utilities, which retrieves files given a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). URIs can sometimes contain shell meta-characters, and so the parameter is usually quoted to prevent errors.
$ wget [options] "URI"
The if built-in structure, whose syntax varies. In Bourne shell, Korn shell and Bash:
$ if command ; then command ; ... ; fi
In C shell and tcsh:
% if (expression) then command ; ... ; endif
Sample output[edit]
Sample output of the df command, which lists disk space usage on mounted file systems:
$ df -P Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hda2 39331760 7398904 29834768 20% /
Try to specify the licensing terms of the subject of a computer program article accurately and concisely.
License agreements usually specify one or more of the following:
- Environment of use (e.g. commercial, non-commercial, personal, educational, non-military, etc.)
- Cost of use (e.g. free of charge, one-time payment, subscription-based, etc.)
- Applicable licensees (e.g. unrestricted, one computer, one user account of a computer, one user, volume licensing, etc.)
- Other rights (e.g. the right to study, modify, reverse-engineer, etc.) or restrictions (e.g. of use for producing pornographic contents)
Wikipedia has articles about the most common software licensing schemes. Therefore, most of the times, one or two wikilinked words in the infobox can describe the licensing scheme. For instance GPL, Freemium, BSD license or Proprietary commercial software (Write: [[Proprietary software|Proprietary]] [[commercial software]]). Avoid vague or outright non-informative phrases like "Vendor's EULA", "Multiple" and "Unknown".
Website addresses[edit]
Certain areas of Wikipedia such as infoboxes require website addresses (URL) to be exposed in print. To maintain readability and conciseness, certain parts of the web addresses may need to be hidden or their shorter forms used.
A web address consists of several parts. The following shows some of the most commonly-seen ones:
Scheme | Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) | Request | |
Example 1: | http:// | www.wikimedia.org | / |
Example 2: | http:// | windows.microsoft.com | /en-US/internet-explorer/products/ie/home |
Example 3: | https:// | secure.wikimedia.org | /wikipedia/commons/wiki/Main_Page |
However, the reader does not need to see all of these somewhat unappealing and hard-to-remember items, thanks to the web browsers and web servers' ability to infer them. In general, the following parts can be omitted:
- "http://": {{URL}} template hides this part automatically.
- "www.": Users often omit this prefix and expect the URL to work properly.
- Lone slash character after FDQN: When the request part is only a single slash character ( / ), users often omit this prefix and expect the URL to work properly.
Omission is only sanctioned when functionality is undeterred. Always test the URL. In the rare cases that "www." or / are required, it is recommended to leave an invisible wiki-markup comment to notify future editors.
If the target website provider has provided shorter alternative URLs to the webpage, use them. The only exception to this instance are short URLs that use hard-to-remember numbers. For instance:
When the following are valid... | ...avoid the following |
microsoft.com/ie | windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/products/ie/home |
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/ | https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/Main_Page |
beautyoftheweb.com | go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=214371 |
Do not use URL shortening services such as bit.ly. Such URLs are maintained by independent entities and are susceptible to link rot. (See also: URL shortening § Shortcomings)

NASHVILLE -- Dead in the water.
With its offense struggling in a place where it has had trouble winning, that's how Tennessee looked as it gathered during a timeout trailing 18th-ranked Vanderbilt by 11 points with 12:50 left in the second half Tuesday night.
"I was just telling the guys just to believe, man," UT's Melvin Goins said. "Believe in us, believe in yourself, believe in us as a team and believe that we can win this ballgame."
The Volunteers listened to their senior point guard. They erased their second-half deficit by outscoring the Commodores 29-9 in the final 12-plus minutes to steal a 60-51 Southeastern Conference win at Memorial Gym, where the Vols had lost five of their previous seven trips.
"I had my doubts early in the second half," UT coach Bruce Pearl said. "We didn't guard Vanderbilt early. I thought Melvin's toughness really helped us stay in the game.
"I thought we did a good job of getting the ball to the basket, and that was a factor. We were determined to get to the rim. Melvin got to the rim; Scotty [Hopson] got to the rim."
Hopson scored 19 points to lead UT (17-11, 7-6), which entered the game having lost four of its last five. Goins scored 15 points, including nine of the Vols' 15 in a stretch in which they trimmed the deficit to a basket. UT had overcome a 17-point in a home win over Vanderbilt last month.
Jeffery Taylor's basket put Vanderbilt (20-7, 8-5) up 51-49 with 5:02 left. UT held the Commodores without a point the rest of the way and made 11 of 12 free throws. The Vols were last in the SEC in free-throw attempts but shot 19 in the second half and finished with two more than the Commodores.
"Guys stayed poised," Hopson said. "Mel did a tremendous job of scoring the basketball. I knew guys would step up, stay poised, and I knew that once we got the game back in reach and got to the rim, we'd be fine."
UT needed its defense to jumpstart its struggling offense to battle back in the second half. Goins, Hopson and Steven Pearl had three steals each as part of UT's 15-theft performance, and the Vols scored 21 points off 16 Vanderbilt turnovers.
The combination of Cameron Tatum and Josh Bone held Vanderbilt's John Jenkins, the SEC's top scorer at 19.9 points per game, to 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting. Jenkins' only second-half points came on Vanderbilt's first possession.
"Defense, that wins championships," Goins said. "This was a championship-type ballgame here. Guys were in the passing lanes and playing real tough, hard-nosed defense."
Added Hopson: "I think that's where we won the basketball game."
Jeronne Maymon, who had played in just three SEC games previously, played nine minutes and started the second half at center instead of John Fields. That's when the Commodores turned a 31-27 lead into an 11-point advantage with an 11-4 run.
"I was disappointed the way we started the second half," Pearl said. "I made some changes in the starting lineup: That unit out there had given some us good energy. Jeronne wasn't as effective the second go-around.
"We finally gave our fans something to cheer about. We've put our fans through a lot this year -- on and off the court. It was good to reward them."

Ok, thanks. I usually switch between a netbook and laptop with updated work saved on your server. Any possibility I could get a 10 day extension on the server. It would help me to move everything over to one computer and workout my logistics. The problem is I'm an English teacher in Eastern Europe and so my resources tend to be limited.

Hurricane sandy.....
Everyone on the East coast preparing for Sandy??? Lots of closings already.....we are heading to Delaware. FUN FUN...right through the storm.
The center of the storm is coming in over New Jersey and right over Philadephia - my work is closed Monday & Tuesday - we are prepared!
So glad it is not coming later as we are due to go to CR on 11/4!
Nor sure where in DE you are going but lots of places have mandatory evacuations so you may not be able to goRoam if you want to, roam around the world...........
Back safe from Delaware! Schools closed. Everyone is preparing for Hurricane Sandy. Still have work today....not sure about Tuesday and Wednesday.....it is pretty scary.....
I am glad you made it back from Delaware - it is closed!
8:30am Monday 10/29 in Philadelphia - we have heavy rain and winds are around 25mph
the storm is starting to head east to Atlantic City - the storm is stronger and Philly will get real bad this afternoon. Storm is still 250 miles off AC so it is just starting. Hope we do not lose power. They are also reporting some thefts in NJ in the more affluent barrier islands - they just caught some guy struggling down the street with a flat screen TV on Long beach Island - how stupid is that - what good is a soaking wet TV!
I'll be back later with further reports. Philly is in a state of emergencyRoam if you want to, roam around the world...........

10-29-2012, 05:59 AMWell, good luck to both of you.
Get used to the idea of being without power for several days. This will probably be a situation like nothing you have experienced. Having survived a number of similar storms in Key Largo, I have a backup generator down there as well as at my home in TN. Being without power basically sucks.
You will soon understand how much you depend on electricity.
Luxury Link's thoughts are with everyone - residents and travelers - affected by Hurricane Sandy. Please be safe!
Good wishes from those of us in Bali. We are watching on TV. Hoping you all can ride it out quickly and you are safe. Take care.
"wherever you go, there you are"
3:43pm - still have power - thank goodness!
Sandy is at 90mph winds and will not weaken when the center will hit our area in a few hours - winds sustained at 45mph in Philly and expected to get worse when Sandy hits. Heavy rain, trees down in the city. Public transpo is all shut down and will be shut down again on Tuesday. State of emergency in Philly. Atlantic City is basically underwater as out many NJ shore towns. Rehoboth Beach also is pretty bad. Expect heavy flooding as far out as Harrisburg. NYC is also going to get hit pretty bad. Will really need the trip to Costa Rica!
Kyshel - I am sop jealous you are in Bali! Have funRoam if you want to, roam around the world...........

10-29-2012, 02:15 PMWow, the wind has really picked up in Toronto. The latest reports claim that the city can expect up to 40 mm of rain tonight with wind gusts of 100 km/hr. Not as horrible as the reports for our American neighbors (my thoughts are with you dhdanner), but bad enough to still bring down some power lines and keep us on our toes.
Fingers are crossed that the storm in the US passes quickly and that everyone stays safe.
We are thinking of you on the East Coast as Sandy is making landfall. Hope you are all safe.

[JURIST] AP is reporting that Chief Justice William Rehnquist [Wikipedia profile; JURIST news archive; JURIST essay] has died, according to a US Supreme Court spokeswoman. He was 80 and had been suffering from thyroid cancer; his last high-profile public appearance off the bench was in January this year when he administered the inaugural oath [JURIST video] to President George W. Bush at his second inaugural. He was originally sworn in as an Associate Justice in 1972. 11:35 PM ET - Spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement that Rehnquist had died Saturday evening at his home in Arlington Virginia surrounded by members of his family. The statement said that he "continued to perform his duties on the court until a precipitous decline in his health the last couple of days." AP has more.Rehnquist was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1971 by President Nixon and confirmed later that year. He began his judicial career in January of 1972 and became Chief Justice in 1986 under President Reagan [History Channel recorded audio of Reagan remarks at swearing-in ceremony]. Rehnquist was considered the most conservative of Nixon's Supreme Court appointments and the most conservative Supreme Court member until the additions of Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Rehnquist is one of the few Supreme Court Justices to have been appointed from a career other than being a judge at some other level; he worked as Assistant Attorney General for President Nixon's Office of Legal Counsel before being nominated for the Supreme Court. In anticipation of Rehnquist's possible retirement, legal scholars gathered at conferences earlier this year to consider his legacy. Watch recorded video of a Hoover Institute panel discussion [transcript] in May 2005. New York Times Supreme Court correspondent Linda Greenhouse addressed [JURIST video] a similar scholarly conference on Rehnquist's jurisprudence at Indiana University Bloomington in April. President Bush will now have to appoint a second Justice to the Supreme Court, following the prior retirement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor [JURIST report] and will also need to name a new Chief Justice. Senate confirmation hearings are scheduled to begin next week [JURIST report] for Judge John Roberts, Bush's nomination to replace O'Connor.
[JURIST] The American Bar Association heads a growing list of lawyers groups organizing legal aid for victims of Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive]. Bar associations from across the US are donating funds to support the provision of legal help to the hundreds of thousands of displaced citizens reconstructing their lives in the aftermath of the disaster; they're also calling for volunteers to offer free legal services to those filing insurance claims, applying for federal aid, registering for new identity documents, getting death certificates completed, etc.. The American Bar Association currently offers the most elaborate online Katrina legal aid resource, providing general information for victims and their families, lawyers affected by the disaster, lawyers wanting to personally volunteer their services, and military personnel needing legal help. The ABA has teamed up with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to open 24-hour toll-free legal help lines. The numbers are:For Louisiana residents: 1-800-310-7029For Mississippi residents: 1-866-255-4495For Alabama residents: 1-800-354-6154Callers will be connected with lawyers from local bar associations who will answer legal questions and provide assistance for problems resulting from the disaster.Bar associations in New York [NYSBA press release], Virginia [VSB notice] and Illinois [ISBA press release] have also launched major fund and volunteer drives. Locally in the Gulf Coast region, the Louisiana State Bar has set up its own disaster relief fund and legal assistance project [LSBA information] as has the Mississippi Bar [official website], and the Alabama State Bar [press release].Additional legal aid for victims of Hurricane Katrina is being offered by:
[JURIST] Saddam Hussein's Iraqi lawyer Khalil Dulaimi told Reuters Saturday that the October 19 trial date for his client indicated Friday by an Iraqi government source unconnected with the Iraqi Special Tribunal [official website] set up to try Hussein was too early, and that "years" were needed to assess what he called the "36 tonnes of files" in the case. It became apparent earlier this week {JURIST report] that the government wants to move on the potentially-incendiary trial days after the scheduled referendum on the draft Iraqi constitution presented to parliament [JURIST report] last Sunday, and well before parliamentary elections scheduled to follow in mid-December. In recent days, Sunni protestors [JURIST report] against the constitution have begun to march publicly with Saddam's picture on placards. Reuters has more.Meanwhile in Jordan, a legal adviser to Hussein's eldest daughter Raghd said Saturday that the defense team for her father had been completely reorganized. During the summer the vast 2000+ Jordanian-based defense committee was essentially fired by the family [JURIST report] and replaced by Dulaimi alone, but Abdel Haq Alani told reporters that a new team had now been formed that "includes prominent American, European, Asian and Arab lawyers who were chosen on the basis of competence and merit." The first charge Saddam faces [JURIST report] relates to the 1982 killings of dozens of Shiites in the village of Dujail after a failed assassination attempt on the then-Iraqi president. Iraqi officials have said that they expect Saddam to be found guilty and quickly sentenced to death [JURIST report], although Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said again last week that he would not sign any death warrant for him [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Federal and state officials said Saturday that with an influx of more National Guard troops and state police, civil authority had been restored to the New Orleans streets after a wave of crime and looting in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, but admitted that the justice system still faced difficulties. In remarks at the state Emergency Operations Center in Baton Rouge carried on WWL-TV [WWL-TV Katrina blog] in New Orleans, US Attorney Jim Letten [official profile] said that he brought a message from the President of the United States and the US Attorney General: "The city of New Orleans belongs to its citizens and not the thugs who have attempted to terrorize the citizens." He told reporters that federal prosecutors were on their way to Louisiana and would work "around the clock" to find, arrest and imprison people breaking federal law. "New Orleans is a city which does not have a traditional gang problem," Letten said. "But small groups of individuals almost exclusively involved in the drug trade have been controlling small pieces of blocks and buildings through ruthless violence. These are the individuals we are going to hunt down." The New Orleans Times-Picayune has more. James Bernazzani, the FBI Special Agent in charge of Louisiana, said that FBI tactical teams were moving around New Orleans working to secure vital locations, and that a gang task force was en route to help restore order. Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti and state Department of Corrections Secretary Richard Stalder meanwhile announced that a temporary holding facility had been set up in New Orleans for prisoners transferred from Orleans Parish Prison and for persons arrested for looting and violence in the aftermath of the hurricane. Prison records, however, have to be reassembled. Said Stalder, "There are 7,100 people in our state prisons we don't know a lot about." Trials and prosecutions will also be problematic for a while. Foti said some misdemeanor trials might be able to start again in a couple of weeks, but "we will have some problem with trials by jury and locating witnesses." Letten nonetheless insisted that "the entire federal criminal justice system is open and operating... This is something extremely difficult, but difficult doesn't mean impossible." The Shreveport Times has more.
[JURIST] The American Civil Liberties Union charged Friday that Georgia had raised the fees for its new controversial voter ID cards [GA Department of Driver Services information] without notice to the US Justice Department as required under federal law. The office of Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue [official website] denied the allegation, saying that it had submitted the notice of the fee hike to the DOJ as part of a package of information it filed with Washington when the legislation requiring a state photo ID for voters was initially proposed. A spokesman also noted that the fees - $20 for five-year ID cards and $35 for 10-year cards - would be waived for poor residents. The ACLU countered that the Justice Department had only approved a $10 fee for a four-year card, and that the fee waiver procedure was elaborate and would discourage potential applicants from getting their cards, resulting in their disenfranchisement. Civil liberties groups have assailed the Georgia law [civilrights.org press release] signed by Governor Purdue [JURIST report] in April; the federal Voting Rights Act [US DOJ backgrounder] requires Georgia and other states with records of racial discrimination in voting to get federal approval for voting law changes. The Justice Department approved the Georgia voter ID law [JURIST report] in late August. The NAACP has already annouced that it will launch a court challenge [press release]. AP has more.
[JURIST] New papers by US Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. [JURIST news archive] released by the National Archives Friday indicate that as a young White House lawyer in 1984 he had some doubts over American ratification of the 1948 Genocide Convention [text] which he feared might be used by some as a device to prosecute US military personnel, but that he ultimately advised President Reagan to go ahead with ratification to avoid international embarrassment to the United States. The US was one of the original signatories to the treaty, but even with the Reagan administration behind the Convention the US Senate did not ratify it until 1988 [PFAW backgrounder], and even at stage only with certain reservations and understandings. Roberts' reservations may provide ammunition for Democrats exploring his stance on international legal issues and US obligations under international law during his confirmation hearings, scheduled to start Tuesday. More revelations may eventually be forthcoming from this latest collection of Roberts-related White House documentary materials, totaling some 18,000 pages. The National Archives has released a number of Roberts documents directly online [accession list]. A confirmation hearings witness list released Friday by Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats suggests they will focus most of their attention on Roberts' civil rights record, which has already been sharply criticized by the ACLU [JURIST report] and other rights organization. Saturday's Washington Post has more.
[JURIST] The US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals [official website], serving Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi from the John Minor Wisdom Courthouse [US GSA historic federal buildings register] in New Orleans, is moving to temporary quarters in Houston, according to Chief Judge Carolyn King. King said Friday that although its 70 court staff would have preferred to shift immediately to Baton Rouge Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive], housing for them was not available, but the federal courthouse in Houston that is home to the Southern District of Texas [official website] had been able to make appropriate arrangements. The appeals court nonetheless expects to move again to Baton Rouge in two months. Court operations will resume September 14, and King said it would be back to "full speed" in a month. The court was forced to cease operations after flooding in New Orleans made its downtown courthouse inaccessible. King said that although electronic documents were backed up on remote servers and most paper documents were moved upstairs to the second floor, some records may have been damaged. Read the latest official court information notice for staff and attorneys. The Houston Chronicle has more.
[JURIST] The US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals Friday refused a request by Virginia Attorney General Judy Jagdmann [official website] to have the full court rehear a June ruling by a three-judge panel [JURIST report; PDF ruling] striking down Virginia's law against late-term abortions because the law lacked an exception based on the health of the mother. The Court cited the 2000 US Supreme Court ruling in Stenberg v. Carhart [opinion] striking down a Nebraska "partial-birth abortion" ban on similar grounds. In a statement [press release] afterwards, Jagdmann said:
We are disappointed by the Court's decision in this serious matter. We note Judge Niemeyer's well-reasoned dissent [in the original panel decision] clearly appreciates that Virginias statute is distinct and distinguishable from any previously considered by the United States Supreme Court. Our office is carefully reviewing the opinion and reviewing our options.

The injury report following Friday's practices have been released in advance of Sunday's Week 9 game between the Patriots and Browns, and as expected, both Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme are listed as doubtful. Meanwhile, on the Patriots side, both Deion Branch and Patrick Chung are questionable after limited participation in practice.
Jarrad Page, S (Calf)
Fred Taylor, RB (Toe)Questionable
Deion Branch, WR (Hamstring)
Patrick Chung, S (Knee)
Matt Slater, WR (Ankle)
Tom Brady, QB (Right Shoulder)
Tully Banta-Cain, LB (Not injury related)
Brandon Spikes, LB (Knee)CLEVELAND BROWNS
Jake Delhomme, QB (Ankle)
John St. Clair, OL (Ankle)
Kenyon Coleman, DL (Knee)
Shaun Rogers, DL (Ankle)
Matt Roth, LB (Hamstring)
Seneca Wallace, QB (Ankle)
Alex Smith, TE (Ankle)
It should be noted that the Browns beat writer from the Plain Dealer, Mary Kay Cabot, is reporting that the Patriots' injury report is incorrect -- Wallace was not limited in practice, but rather he didn't practice at all.
