UNCW Press Release
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Colonial Athletic Association shooting leader William & Mary shook off a sub-par first half with 60 percent after intermission to break away from UNCW for a 54-50 men's basketball victory Wednesday night at Trask Coliseum.
The Tribe won for the fourth time in five tries to improve to 14-8 overall and 6-3 in the CAA. The loss extended UNCW's losing streak to 13 games and left the Seahawks with a 6-18 record in all games and 0-9 in the circuit.
Junior guard Marcus Thornton, first among CAA scorers at 19.8 points per game, paced all players with 19 points. Senior forward Tim Rusthoven added 10 points for W&M, which led by as many as 14 points in the contest.
Senior guard Tanner Milson led the Seahawks in scoring for the first time this season with 11 points. Junior forward Cedrick Williams recorded his fourth career double-double and his first since the Manhattan game on Dec. 15 with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
"We hurt ourselves at the beginning of the game," said Buzz Peterson, UNCW's fourth-year coach. "I felt like we should have capitalized early and it should have been 8-2 instead of 4-2. We missed tons of layups tonight.
"W&M is one of the better teams offensively in the league and I felt like we defended well enough to win the ball game. Our kids keep fighting hard in an adverse situation. Our guys competed, but we didn't capitalize early and we missed way too many layups."
After struggling offensively in the first half, the Tribe made three of its first five field goals in the second period to grab a 31-23 advantage. Thornton converted a pair of free throws and then drained a long trey from the top of the key to give the Tribe a 31-23 margin.
UNCW, meanwhile, made just three of first 13 field goals after intermission to fall into a hole before rallying to close to 26-23 on a tip-in by Williams with just over 16 minutes left to play.
But the Tribe dialed long distance to reel off 11 unanswered points and gain separation from the Seahawks. Thornton tossed in two free throws and canned a trey, followed by triples from Prewitt and Britt, to push the difference to 37-23 at 13:37.
Milson caught fire late in the second half, scoring 11 points in a three-minute stretch, to keep the Seahawks close and a Shane Reybold hook in the paint with 1:06 left helped the Seahawks climb within one possession, 53-50.
UNCW had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds after Prewitt missed from close range with 34 seconds remaining, but Williams' attempt in the paint bounced off the rim and Brandon Britt made the front end of a bonus situation with nine seconds left as the Tribe hung on for its seventh road victory in 12 games this season.
"I'm not sure either team played great basketball today, but I'm proud that we were able to pull out a tough game on the road," said Tony Shaver, W&M's 11th-year coach. "They changed some defenses on us and we didn't react well at times early on. It was a very uncharacteristic first half offensively for us. We look confused and dazed. Credit them for that. We were more fluid in the second half."
UNCW led briefly in the first half, 4-2, before the Tribe got untracked with a six-point spurt, which featured two high-flying dunks by Thornton, the latter with 13:46 left that gave W&M an 8-4 edge.
The Tribe pushed the margin to 13-6 on a Julian Boatner triple at 11:31 and then expanded to 20-13 on a Thornton three-pointer with 6:49 remaining in the opening period.
W&M wound up taking a 22-17 lead into intermission after shooting just 30.8 percent from the floor and making only 3-of-14 from deep. The 22 points matched a season-low by opponents in the first half this season against the Seahawks.
Williams, UNCW's leading scorer, went scoreless in the opening 20 minutes on just three field goal attempts.
The Seahawks return to the road this weekend with a 7 p.m. tip-off on Saturday at Hofstra. The Tribe travels to Northeastern on Saturday for a 7 p.m. date with the Huskies.
GAME NOTES: The two teams play again on Feb. 17 in Williamsburg, Va…Attendance for UNCW's 10th home game of the season was 3,030…Williams reached double figures for the 21st time in 24 games…The Tribe had seven turnovers and the Seahawks had only eight miscues…Rusthoven, who averages 5.5 boards, did not have a rebound…Thornton added four assists to his stat line…W&M went 7-of-23 from long distance, while UNCW was 3-of-11…The Seahawks scored 36-of-50 points in the paint…It marked the second straight game the Seahawks have scored 50 points…Milson's 11 points was his highest total since scoring 12 at UNC Asheville on Dec. 28…Williams pulled down double digit rebounds for the 10th time in his career.

Players fight vicious battles against crazed mercenaries, mighty military forces and hideous sea monsters. The frantic pace never lets up in Aquanox - a true adrenaline-rush action game.

AquaNox is actually the second game in the Aqua series, another franchise that was ever "dumbed down" in each epoch to pander to mainstream sensibilities (...or more likely corporate mismanagement).
The first and less known game of the franchise was Archimedean Dynasty in 1996. It was a complex TIE-fighter clone with small and fast submarines in the underwaterread more dystopia of Aqua. (Earth after the surface has been nuked into a big pile of slag). Players assumed the role of Emerald "Deadeye" Flint, mercenary for hire and unrepentant womanizer. You could travel between various stations in each area and take side-missions beside plot-critical ones or just chat up another girl in town - which could lead to important info every once in a while.
Fast forward a couple of years. 3D accelerator cards have overtaken graphics and GPUs became the standard. Riding on this new wave of graphical perfomance was the second installment of the Aqua series.
In the name of accessibility several things changed:
The complex in combat sub management of the 1st game abolished in favor of FPS controls.
The graphics were gorgeous (the game was NVidia's showman piece).
The plot was strictly linear, you could no longer take side-missions.
Is the game good? I think good enough is an understatement, but the best I could come up with. Thankfully the game's also somewhat hard, so action fans will be delighted to cut their teeth on it. Though a strict by the book point-and-shoot game (without the varied environment, events or physics gimmicks that has become the staple of FPS-es) it can hold its own, by giving varied objectives or just plain 'ol keeping you on the edge of your seat with fast and furious action.
However fans of the earlier game are disappointed and new "fans" might also be put off by the mishmash of how the game tries to build ambiance and story between action. In the old game - strictly in text, as a CD could hold only so much - you read evocative prose both mundane and heroic on how people perceived the world around them.
This hard-boiled, over the top writing is also present in Aquanox. Some of the time it hits the mark. The people of Aqua are just a bit insane, maniacal lot and the style lends itself well to convey this. However without the context of less over the top conversations - like how Flint took some mundane missions or a situation based on good old extortion - the acting can be tacky and will leave new fans exasperated while old fans would just shrug in embarrassment.
All in all, Aquanox is a good action game with some good story elements to go with it, even if the execution is hampered by the linear and dumbed down delivery.
Recommended for Aqua fans and check out Archimedean Dynasty to get the whole picture.

I played this a long, long time ago (sadly, in this galaxy). I've been looking for a working copy ever since. All hail GOG, masters of my soul!
The gameplay is excellent (if not perfect.) Underwater poses some interesting challenges to moving around and the way weapons work. It's fairly standard, but it does throw some twists your way.
The story is. . .well, it's your typicalread more giant monster lifeform of death underwater apocalypse story, but it is encased so well, that you won't notice most of the cliches.
The graphics were, for the time, beautiful. I love being underwater, and this simulates it well.
All in all, a dated, moderately cliche, alright playing game.
I will never love another game as much as I did this one.

AquaNox starts with a gritty dark underwater setting. I haven't seen this much (anyone know the game Deadly Tide?). It's a great atmosphere for this game.
The gameplay is basically like any flight simulator game. I think it's great and really throws you in the action, but doesn't stand up to the high bar of StarLancer (my favorite space sim ever). The storyline and missions areread more basically linear, leaving not a lot of room for free lancing, but you do get to buy weapons, items, and ships. This makes it sort of like the classic Crimson Skies.
All in all, AquaNox has a great story in a gritty setting and delivers one the great dog fighting flight simulation we all know and love. It's not revolutionary in any way, bit is a great excuse to dust off your old game pad or joystick. For $5.99 this is a great value.

Why I'm excited to participate in Sunday's walk
Originally published: Jan 16, 2013 - 12:14 pm
Current events have touched on some of the challenges we as a community are facing. Specifically, young people and the lack of help that is available should they need it.
That is why I am proud to be involved with Jonathan's Walk4Friendship, this Sunday, Jan. 20, at 1:30 p.m. I encourage you to bring the entire family to Chaparral Park in Scottsdale for this event, complete with education and entertainment.
The Friendship Circle provides assistance and support to the families of children with special needs as well as to individuals and families struggling with addiction, isolation and other crises.
In addition to helping those in need, the Friendship Circle empowers and enriches its network of volunteers, the majority of whom are teenagers, by enabling them to reap the vast rewards of giving of themselves.
Check out some ways you can donate to Jonathan's Walk4Friendship.

A look at commitments and remaining targets in the Texas Longhorns' 2013 offensive class.

as i am about to look for a ibook i have searched around a bit and the best thing you can do to your iBook is
installing "screen spanning doctor " , means you can use a second monitor not only to mirror your desktop , but also to extend your desktop to a monitor
or use clamshell mode (means lid closed )while the ibook is connected to a a Monitor and keyboard and mouse and you can use higher resolutions on the external monitor too by using screen spanning doctor , as apple has limited the resolution on external to 1024x768
because the iBook offers the same features as the powerbook, but Apple has disabled them in open firmware to boost sales of the more expensive powerbook's and "screen spanning doctor" enables them again

Tulsa's Health Department says it's easy to help fight Oklahoma's obesity and low health rankings, but you can't do it sitting down.
Fran Trujillo from the Tulsa Health Department stopped by KTUL's Good Morning Oklahoma as part of the program's bi-weekly Fit Friday segment. She said getting activity into your life doesn't have to be a chore.
"Physical activity is any kind of exercise or movement that is designed to make the body stronger and healthier," Trujillo said. But folks can even benefit from moderate to vigorous exercise such as brisk walking.
Getting active can help with depression, stress management and help women of childbearing age have healthy babies and healthier birth outcomes.
She went on to suggest more strenuous exercises, such as the popular Zumba craze that continues to sweep the nation. Zumba is a dance-fitness program that blends Latin and International music and choreography, Trujillo said. A typical session may last between 45 minutes to an hour.
Trujillo demonstrated the dance for just a minute or two with anchors Laura Moss and Andrew Kozak. After just a few steps, both Laura and Andrew were left a bit winded.

Police are seeing a trend in what they call "ruse burglaries," where a charming, fast-talking suspect uses the element of urgency to con their way into someone's home—usually, someone elderly. The outcome can be devastating for the victims, including life savings lost in a matter of minutes.
Now, the Cook County Sheriff's Police are using a new weapon to catch the bad guys before their next sweet talking swindle.
Antonina, who asked us not to use her last name, is still dealing with the trauma of being conned by a man who claimed he was from ComEd and who urgently insisted he needed to check her electrical outlets for potential damage caused by a fire down the street.
""Somebody ring the doorbell, and usually I won't let nobody in, I don't know what happened that day," burglary victim Antonina says. "He told me, 'I am an electrician from ComEd.'"
He make me feel very friendly, very comfortable," she explains. "Very nice."
Antonina fell victim to a crime that police call a ruse burglary, with a scheme crooks have used countless times.
"They'll usher them to a point of the house where they're kinda separated from the rest of the house and they keep them distracted," Cook County Sheriff's Police Detective Michael Dwyer says. "They'll talk fast, they'll keep talking, they'll keep moving, but they'll keep them focused away."
In Antonina's case the con man ushered her into the kitchen and gave her the contraption to test the outlets.
"So we check all the outlets. He said 'you don't have no damage so far. Now we got to concentrate on this one,'" she recalls, walking to the kitchen.
He said, 'these are the most important because it's water here, the refrigerator and everything,'" Antonina continues. "And we stay here. He tell me 'push that thing over there, and move them up and down in and out and in and see if some shock coming.'"
There were no problems with the outlets. The shock came after the man left and Antonina discovered several of her bedroom drawers had been ransacked and three to four thousand dollars in gold jewelry had been stolen.
Police say Antonina was fortunate compared to some ruse burglary victims.
"You get sometimes where it's a couple dollars missing, but there have been numerous ones where it's hundreds of thousands of dollars, life savings in cash and gold taken away," Dwyer says.
The Cook County Sheriff's Police say these crimes are tough to track, so they are now compiling and sharing burglary report data with agencies across the county. They are also internally classifying which ones are actual ruse burglaries, to better target those responsible.
"Burglary crews are probably responsible for the bulk of the burglaries that take place, so if we're able to identify those burglary crews and dismantle them and not just displace them from one agency or one municipality to another, once we break down and get them charged, we will see a reduction in burglaries," says John Blair, Director of Cook County Sheriff's Intelligence Center.
For Antonina, the burglars weren't quite as slick as they thought. They had to leave behind the mangled safe they couldn't pry open because they couldn't find the key to the deadbolt to open the basement door.
Antonina says she now keeps all her valuables at a bank for safe keeping.
The sheriff's department says their best advice to people is if you didn't call and ask for someone to come to your home, don't let them in and if you are not sure if someone posing as a worker is legitimate, call police. If that person has nothing to hide, they will wait around.

Diner Reviews
The restaurant is on Ocean Drive,
which is a lively street and the food was good as well. Service was good, it could have been faster, however there were a lot of people there so it is understandable."
Dined on 7/19/2014
We had a great time, but mainly
because we are good friends and always have a good time, the food needs some improvement, the service was very good, perhaps it was a bad night for the Chef, who knows, "
Dined on 5/5/2014
Went with a couple friends, the
food was good, a little pricey, but that goes with Ocean Drive I suppose. The service was very good, I'd recommend it"
Dined on 5/5/2014
best salmon tartar I have had in a
while. great place for people watching and having some drinks. one of the few places in miami I've been to with live show dancing and outdoor seating. it was great. servers were very friendly also."

Great for large parties, good
drinks and food! The live music was really nice"
Dined on 2/20/2014
Very curteous wait staff, ambiance
very friendly, good service, they had live music when I went very nice, food was very good. I would recommend it to anyone."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Food was great, .location was
great - they only compliant I would have is the "clubbing" music playing pretty loud during the dinner. it wasnt late at night - rather 5:30 in the evening, definately too early for this music."
Dined on 1/30/2014
Yummy lasagna and penne with
bolognese sauce. Comfortable tables on sidewalk and porch on Ocean Drive in South Beach. Band playing lively Latin music, so you are dancing while eating. Lots of activity with people walking by."
Dined on 1/14/2014
I just love this place!!! Really
good food and the out side show was so awesome ..."
Dined on 12/17/2013
There was a $100 mistake in the
calculation on my bill. I gave the waiter a generous uptick over the mandatory minimum. I added incorrectly and the restaurant or waiter pocketed an additional $100 when there was a clear math error. I pointed out the mistake to my credit card company. Instead of fixing it, the restaurant responded insisting on payment of the erroneous amount. I called the restaurant and left a voicemail asking them to call me back to resolve the issue. They never did. Since I don't have an endless supply of time to chase down $100, I will let management of Mia Bella Roma "win" this one, but I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone who wishes to be treated fairly and above board and I will never, ever return. "
Dined on 11/12/2013
Great food, woderful mojitos!
Service was great! Will go back soon"
Dined on 9/22/2013
We were at this restaurant once
before several years back and it was fabulous. This time the food was not nearly as good, my meal had great flavor but the pasta were undercooked. My husbands risotto turned out to be mushy rice mixed with a bunch of things that did not go well together and it was doused with cheese and even though he loves cheese it was much too much. It also took 30 minutes to get out check and it was not busy. Not sure if just a bad night or new owners but I do not think we will be back again with so many dining choices in the area."
Dined on 2/28/2013
Took 20-25 minutes before a waiter
came to take our order. I had to talk to hostess a couple of times before a waiter came to take our order."
Dined on 7/21/2012
Don't waste your time on this
restaurant. Our order got lost, the service was terrible. Food was barely decent. Hard to get a glass of water. Order for a 2nd beer never came. Good location, but very mediocre."
Dined on 5/21/2012
Mia Bella Roma is just incredible
good. I found the prices reasonable and the service outstanding. My husband and I were very happy to eat a authentic Italian food . I had Grigliata Mista di Carne (which is good to share) and my husband tried the Rissoto alla pescadora. Both dishes were incredible taste and the portions are very generous. As a Ocean drive fans, we think we found our spot. Totally recommend it !"
Dined on 7/29/2011
If you don't care about food or
service, but just want to be in the heart of Ocean Drive, then this place is fine - for people watching. The food was terrible and the service was only slightly better. Most of the restaurants on Ocean Drive are pretty bad, but this one was truly awful."
Dined on 7/15/2011
My wife and I ate here and we were
a bit disappointed by the service. They staff seemed disinterested in us after we sat at a table. Our waiter took very long to take our orders and didn't come back until we wanted our check. The place was not crowded at all, in fact we were surrounded by empty tables. I had to flag him down to get more water for my wife. Food was decent, but for a place surrounded by similar restaurants these guys don't try hard after the intial greetings."
Dined on 2/24/2011
I dined at this restaurant twice
during my recent stay in Miami. The first night we had a large party (15+). Everything went very well that night. The service was excellent; they had a couple of waiters that were there EVERY time we needed anything. We liked it so much we took different friends another night. Again, we had a large party (13). The service was very bad. It is a good thing we didn't have to be anywhere, because we waited a long time for everything. Everyone at the table was served, and my husband had to wait for his meal. If you have a lot if time, this is a good place to go."

Authorities search for man who pointed gun at Tuscola convenience store clerk
Published On: Sep 27 2012 12:11:11 PM CDT
Authorities are searching for a man who pointed a gun at an Allsup's Convenience Store clerk in Tuscola early Thursday.
Sgt. John Cummins with the Taylor County Sheriff's Office said the attempted robbery occurred at 12:24 a.m. as the clerk was gathering trash outside.
The clerk convinced the suspect that a sheriff's deputy was about to arrive. The suspect fled on foot and could not be located.
The clerk described him as a 6'1" male who weighs 160 pounds. He said the man was wearing all black clothing and was either wearing a black and white mask or had his face painted that way.

"Granada is one of Spain's best kept secrets. The city is all about hidden treasures, treasures that can only be unearthed by really living there among the people. SIT facilitates, even guarantees that their student's experience is not one secluded to other Americans studying abroad, but one of total immersion. For me the best part of this was the homestay. There is no other way to seriously study a language than to live in it and this is what the homestay allows. I feel like I have another family in Granada, whom I can always return to."
—Margaret Murphy, Sarah Lawrence College
Students in this program spend thirteen weeks living with a homestay family in Granada and also have a three-day village stay at a rural house in the Andalusian mountain range of Sierra Nevada. By living in different regions of Spain, students are able to draw contrasts between life in a rural community and in Andalusia's more urban areas.
In Granada, students live with carefully selected homestay families who are employed in a range of working- or middle-class professions. Parents range in age from early 30s to mid-60s and usually have at least one child living at home. Homestay brothers and sisters could be students at the University of Granada or already working. The homestay experience provides students an exceptional window into Spanish daily life and culture. Students often enjoy participating in a range of family activities including going out with their Spanish siblings and their friends, going shopping, and playing sports.
Other accommodations during the program include hostels and hotels.
|Each one of the SIT students that has lived with our family has become a part of it. Our gatherings with friends, celebrations, short trips, and chats during and after meals…have been enriched by having an American student with us that we have made feel at home during their time in Spain. They all leave knowing that they can count on an adopted family that will always receive them with joy and affection.

International Conference"Europe and the Arab World –Connecting Partners in Dialogue"Joint Initiative of Austria and the League of Arab States
Ministerial Round Table Vienna, 19 December 2008
Statement by H.E. Michael SpindeleggerAustrian Federal Minister for European and International Affairs
Dear Secretary General, Your Royal Highnesses,Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to all of you to the conference "Europe and the Arab World – Connecting Partners in Dialogue". I am glad that so many of you have followed the joint invitation of Austria and the League of Arab States.
My special thanks go to my Co-Chair Amre Moussa, Secretary General of the League of Arab States for his personal efforts and his commitment to make this joint conference a success.
Let me also thank my predecessor Ursula Plassnik for having taken the initiative for this conference.
My thanks also go to the workshop participants, the experts from governments and civil society who worked hard in the last two days to feed their recommendations into this meeting.
The timing of this conference bears significance for the objectives of our meeting today: Just last week, Muslim communities around the world celebrated Eid Al-Adha, in two days time the Jewish communities will light the first candle of Hanukkah, and in a few days, we will celebrate Christmas, an important religious holiday for Christians all over the world. Let me therefore thank all of you again that you have come to Vienna at this time dedicated to families and friends. I am also particularly grateful to the religious representatives present today.
Religion is an important part of our cultures, but our dialogue efforts must go beyond the mere sphere of religion. We should raise awareness for the importance of civil society and the numerous people actively contributing to fighting poverty and discrimination, marginalisation and injustice. As believers or non-believers, they often take great personal efforts and risks.
Austria hosts this conference out of a long and successful tradition of dialogue and mediation – with our neighbours in Central and Eastern Europe, in the Western Balkans, and in particular with Muslim communities both in Europe and in the Arab World. We maintain strong ties with the Muslim and the Arab World, aiming to build bridges by engaging in interreligious and intercultural dialogue. The official recognition of Islam in Austria dates back to 1912.
In recent years we hosted two meetings of European Imams as well as international conferences on "Islam in a Pluralistic World" (2005) and "Islam in Europe" (2007). During the Austrian EU-Presidency, we initiated a meeting with the Foreign Minister of Denmark and Islamic and Christian leaders in 2006 to help mitigate the effects of the so-called "cartoon crisis". These contacts showed how much common ground exists. Upon our efforts, the EU Council adopted conclusions rejecting violence and calling for mutual tolerance and respect.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
There is no confrontation between Europe and the Arab or Muslim World. What we see – and what we need to strengthen – are changes, transformations and reforms both within Europe and the Arab World.
In our time of globalisation and growing interdependence, we share a number of common challenges, such as:
Coping with the financial and economic crisis and securing employment, especially for young people;
The Barcelona process and the Union of the Mediterranean have revived the process of defining common interests and areas for cooperation. The EU-Arab League Meeting in Malta last February has institutionalised dialogue between European and Arab states, including those of the Gulf and the African continent.
For Arab and European decision-makers discussing the importance of dialogue and partnership, there is no bigger challenge than to contribute to a fair and lasting peaceful solution of the Middle East conflict, the one issue in the region with the highest political stakes.
The Arab Peace Initiative adopted in 2002 in Beirut and reconfirmed at various occasions is a prime example ofhow the Arab League can provide an essential input by speaking with one voice. Its focus on the – "just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East as the strategic option of the Arab countries" – has become a pillar of Arab Middle East policies. Its value has repeatedly been acknowledged by the Middle East Quartet, by the European Union, and just three days ago by the UN Security Council in its Resolution 1850.
Ever more frequently, leading representatives of the Israeli political leadership seem to realize that this initiative is an important basis for further peace negotiations – President Peres just recently declared at the UN interfaith dialogue meeting in New York that "the Arab Peace Initiative must be considered a serious opening for real progress in Middle East peace".
I am convinced that a decisive boost will be given to the realization of peace, stability and prosperity in the Middle East, if the implementation of this valuable initiative can be started by concrete political steps of the parties concerned.
What do we want to achieve today? In the last two days, experts from governments and civil society have elaborated the three sets of recommendations distributed to all of you. We should now seek for ways and means to follow up on these ideas and implement them.
Our meeting today should bring about concrete ideas and projects for further cooperation,ideas how to intensify our dialogue on state and society level and what next steps should be taken from here.
As a political, social and cultural necessity, strengthening dialogue between Europe and the Arab world lies in the interest of our people, regions and countries.
I wish all of us a fruitful discussion on these issues!
Thank you!

The Cardboard Crown
Martin Boyd
Introduced by Brenda Niall
This remarkable novel, first published to a chorus of acclaim in 1952, is one of the lost classics of Australian literature. Martin Boyd is a deeply humane novelist, a writer of family sagas without peer. Set in Australia and England in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, The Cardboard Crown presents an unforgettable portrait of an upper middle-class family who love both countries but are not quite at home in either.
At the centre of this scintillating and immensely readable novel is Alice Verso, whose unexpected marriage to Austin Langton not only brings financial stability to the Langtons but founds an Anglo-Australian dynasty. But when her grandson finds her diaries and begins to uncover her story he chances on an intricate web of deception and reveals the complex fate of his family over three generations.
Features an introduction by one of Australia's best-known and award-winning biographers, Brenda Niall.

METAIRIE, La. — For the past three years, the New Orleans Saints entered the final three weeks of the season with so much to play for, with tons of meat left on the bone of the season.
In 2012, Year of the Bounty lingering suspension to Sean Payton, the Saints have nothing to play for but pride.
The playoffs, for all intents and purposes, are out of reach for this version of the Black and Gold.
According to playoffstatus.com, the Saints have less than a 1 percent chance of finding their way into the postseason. That's a bitter pill to swallow for those who have been to a Super Bowl, divisional playoff round and wild card round the past three seasons.
"Mathematically we're still alive? Yeah. Exactly," Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma said. "I don't do all that math. I just know that 8-8 this season I seriously doubt is going to be playoff potential."
Don't expect the team to throw in the towel, however.
"We're going to put those players on the field that number one, have earned the right to be on the field and then number two to give us the best chance to win football games," Joe Vitt, New Orleans' interim coach, said earlier this week. "We'll continue to do that. That's what we've always done here."
In other words, don't expect to see New Orleans (5-8) throw out its reserves for the bulk of Sunday's noon home game against Tampa Bay (6-7).
Running back Mark Ingram, in his second year, is facing his worst season since at least high school. In three years at Alabama, Ingram went 36-5, winning the national championship in 2009. As a rookie, he helped the Saints get to 13-3 and earn the NFC South title.
But he understands that just because playoffs are a long shot, putting forth full effort is meaningful as the seasons closes out.
"We have a very prideful group in our locker room," Ingram said. "I think our focus going forward should be just getting better every day, getting closer together as a unit and improving individually and as a unit every day. I think that should be our focus in finishing out the season strong, because, we if we had three straight losses, it would be nice to have three straight wins to close out the season."
New Orleans' last three opponents – Tampa Bay, Dallas and Carolina – are a combined 17-22. But while the Bucs have lost three in a row, Dallas and Carolina have both gone 2-1 over the past three games.
"Our players know under no uncertain circumstances what our goal is – our goal is to win all three games," Vitt said. "Our goal is to get better every day in practice, because everyone is going to be held accountable for the way they prepare."

CONFRONTED with the prospect of been knocked out by one of the hardest hitters in the country, most people would turn and run.
Orange boxer Sam Ah-See's response - a fit of laughter.
Ah-See takes on Shannon 'Shaggy' King in Friday night's Australian National Boxing Federation super welter-weight title fight at the Orange Function Centre, and the Orange native struggled to hide his amusement after hearing King's taunts.
King showed no hesitation in saying he "is coming to knock him [Ah-See] out", and that Ah-See won't "ever have been hit as hard as I'll hit him".
King's record gives his claims credence, with seven fights for seven wins, all knockouts. King's muay thai career also netted him 34 wins from 38 fights, with 25 knockouts leading to Ah-See's manager Matt Rose labelling him "Brisbane's knock-out king" in a press release yesterday.
Once Ah-See had composed himself after a flurry of laughter he returned fire, albeit slightly more reservedly.
"He has to hit me at all first," Ah-See said, before adding the slanging match would add fuel to the fire.
"That's what I want, I like hearing him say those things. At least I know he's coming to fight."
"Even if he does get me, the one thing I have absolute faith in is my chin. But, as I said, he's got to hit me first"
Ah-See, a four-time Australian amateur champion, has an almost equally imposing record of 10 fights, for nine wins and a draw. Six of Ah-See's wins have come from knockouts.
He was also awarded the Rising Star Trophy by the NSW Veteran Boxing Association for the best upcoming professional prospect last year, and is ranked number two in the country.
The 22-year-old southpaw said King's biggest asset, his power, would be his downfall.
"Honestly, he's slow, and I'm fast," Ah-See said.
"I've never seen someone [in this weight class] with such slow hand-speed. He moves like a super heavy-weight. Even if he does get me, the one thing I have absolute faith in is my chin.
"But, as I said, he's got to hit me first."

My diary on what Dijkstra did in the 1980s.
Picture on the right: Edsger and his student Netty van Gasteren sitting behind Edsger's desk in his home in Nuenen. Notice the two telephones.
On the basis of an IFIP WG 2.3 meeting in Han-sur-Lesse (Belgium), Dijkstra expressed his misgivings about the overhead projector. He preferred the blackboard much more and the interaction it required between him and the audience. That is, he preferred to give "lectures", not "presentations". Instead of preparing everything in advance, he wanted room to improvise during his lectures.
