One commonly cited stumbling block to the broader adoption of Apache Hadoop in the enterprise is the difficulty and expense of finding and hiring developers who understand and can think in Hadoop MapReduce. But big data application framework specialist Concurrent wants to change that.
Concurrent is already the driving force behind Cascading, a stand-alone open source Java application framework designed by Concurrent founder and CTO Chris Wensel as an alternative API to MapReduce.
[ Andrew C. Oliver answers the question on everyone's mind: Which freaking database should I use? | Keep up with the latest approaches to managing information overload and compliance in InfoWorld's Enterprise Data Explosion Digital Spotlight. ]
Cascading gives Java developers the capability to build Big Data applications on Hadoop using their existing skillset. Now Concurrent hopes to help SQL users get into the act with Lingual, an open source ANSI-standard SQL engine that runs on top of Cascading.
Lingual lets analysts, developers tap SQL skills for Hadoop
Lingual, which will be publicly available under the Apache 2.0 license within the next few weeks, gives analysts and developers familiar with SQL, JDBC, and traditional BI tools the capability to create and run big data applications on Hadoop using their existing skillsets.
"Concurrent was established with the belief that there had to be a simpler path to mass Hadoop adoption," Wensel says. "And since day one, we have worked to create solutions that make it easier for developers to build powerful and robust Big Data applications quickly and easily. With the Lingual project, we are one huge step closer to realizing our mission."
To date, many Hadoop users have turned to Apache Hive (a data warehouse infrastructure built for Hadoop) and Apache Pig (a high-level platform for creating MapReduce programs) to achieve SQL-like capabilities.
"Pig and Hive have their own qualities and actually are quite good, but sometimes you just want SQL," Wensel says. "Lingual is great for people who don't know how to use Hadoop but know SQL. The best way to get value out of something in many cases is just to use SQL."
"We just want to make it easier for people to get data off Hadoop or to port their apps to Hadoop using skills they already know," he adds.
Use cases for open source Lingual SQL parser
Example use cases for Lingual include the following:
- Giving data analysts, scientists and developers the capability to "cut and paste" existing ANSI SQL code from traditional data warehouses and instantly access data locked on a Hadoop cluster
- Giving developers the capability to use a standard Java JDBC interface to create new Hadoop applications or use any of the Cascading APIs and languages, like Scalding and Cascalog
- Giving companies the capability to query and export data from Hadoop directly into traditional BI tools
"We are very excited about the prospect of using standard SQL to provide seamless access to the billions of events that we track daily," says Zack Shapiro, director of engineering at Kontagent, a Concurrent customer.

About 95 percent of people have mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms, including agitation, trembling, disturbed sleep, and lack of appetite. In 15 percent to 20 percent of people with moderate symptoms, brief seizures and hallucinations may occur, but they do not progress to full-blown delirium tremens. Such patients can nearly always be treated as outpatients.
After being examined and observed, the patient is usually sent home with a four-day supply of anti-anxiety medication, scheduled for follow-up and rehabilitation, and advised to return to the emergency room if withdrawal symptoms become severe. If possible, a family member or friend should support the patient through the next few days of withdrawal.
Benzodiazepines. Patients are usually given one of the anti-anxiety drugs known as benzodiazepines (tranquilizers such as Valium), which inhibit nerve-cell excitability in the brain. They are used to relieve withdrawal symptoms, help prevent progression to delirium tremens, and reduce the risk for seizures.
Diazepam has a longer duration of action than lorazepam or midazolam. Typically, the physician may give the patient an initial (or loading) intravenous dose of diazepam with additional doses given every one to two hours thereafter over the period of withdrawal. This regimen can cause very heavy sedation.
Problems With BenzodiazepinesBenzodiazepines are usually not prescribed for more than two weeks or administered for more than three nights per week. Problems with benzodiazepines include the following:
Side Effects. Common side effects of benzodiazepines are daytime drowsiness and a hung-over feeling. In rare cases, they actually cause agitation. Respiratory problems may be exacerbated. The drugs appear to stimulate eating and can cause weight gain. Benzodiazepines can interact with certain drugs, including cimetidine (Tagamet), antihistamines, and oral contraceptives. Benzodiazepines are potentially dangerous when used in combination with alcohol. Overdoses are serious, although very rarely fatal. Elderly people are more susceptible to side effects and should usually start at half the dose prescribed for younger people. Benzodiazepines are associated with birth defects, and should not be used by pregnant women or nursing mothers.
Loss of Effectiveness and Dependence. The primary problem with these drugs is their loss of effectiveness over time with continued use at the same dosage. As a result, patients may increase their dosage level to prevent anxiety. Patients then can become dependent.
Withdrawal Symptoms. People who discontinue benzodiazepines after taking them for even four weeks can experience mild rebound symptoms. The longer the agents are taken and the higher the dose the more severe the symptoms. They include sleep disturbance and anxiety, which can develop within hours or days after stopping the medication.
Other Drugs for Mild to Moderate WithdrawalThe following agents may also be given:
Beta-blockers. Beta blockers, such as propranolol (Inderal) and atenolol (Tenormin), slow heart rate and reduce tremor. They are sometimes used in combination with benzodiazepines.
Anti-Seizure Medications. Anti-seizure agents, such as carbamazepine (Tegretol) or divalproex sodium (Depakote) may be useful for reducing the requirements of a benzodiazepine. When used by themselves, however, they do not appear to be effective in reducing seizures or delirium.
Specific Treatment for Severe SymptomsTreating Delirium Tremens. People with symptoms of delirium tremens must be treated immediately. Untreated delirium tremens has a fatality rate that can be as high as 20 percent. Symptomatic patients are usually given intravenous anti-anxiety medications. Lidocaine (Xylocaine) may be given to people with disturbed heart rhythms. It is extremely important that fluids be administered. Restraints may be necessary to prevent injury to themselves or others.
Treating Seizures. Seizures are usually self-limited and treated with a benzodiazepine. Intravenous phenytoin (Dilantin) along with a benzodiazepine may be used in patients who have a history of seizures, who have epilepsy, or in those whose seizures cannot be controlled. Because phenytoin may lower blood pressure, the patient's heart should be monitored during treatment. Chlormethiazole, a derivative of vitamin B1, is presently used in Europe in reducing agitation and seizures.
Psychosis. For hallucinations or extremely aggressive behavior, antipsychotic drugs, particularly haloperidol (Haldol), may be administered. Korsakoff's psychosis (Wernicke-Korsakoff-Syndrome) is very difficult to treat. It is caused by severe vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiencies, which cannot be replaced orally. Rapid and immediate injection of the B vitamin thiamin is necessary.

CATEGORIES Fandom, Lists, CinematicalWow, I didn't even know there were THAT many. Holy crapola! The fine folks over at Rotten Tomatoes are currently counting down the top 50 TV adaptations of all time, in honor of both Get Smart and Sex and the City. Before we mention a few, here's how they played it: "... these movies are remakes of TV series (i.e. Starsky and Hutch), mini-series (Pennies from Heaven), or sketches (The Blues Brothers). We've also included big-screen adaptations that utilize the series' principal cast members (the Star Trek movies, the Adam West Batman). We've omitted films that, despite having TV incarnations, are derived from other sources (thus, no Superman), but have included others (like The Addams Family) that are best remembered as TV shows." In other words ... they mean business.
Down toward the bottom, you have films like Strangers with Candy, The Rugrats Movie, Josie and the Pussycats and The Naked Gun 2 1/2. I won't reveal their number one pick, but the top ten includes memorable favorites like The Simpsons Movie, The Fugitive ("You find this man!"), Serenity and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
I'm just impressed they managed to throw together 50 half-decent TV-to-Movie adaptations. That, in and of itself, has to be worth some sort of Emmy nod (or would it be an Oscar nod?). Check out the entire list over at Rotten Tomatoes ... and let us know your favorites below.

I read some interesting studies recently. One was on social mobility. The other was on the perpetuation of elitism in higher education. Both paint the same picture.
In the 1770s, we threw off British oppression to realize a land of opportunity based on one's sweat of the brow and cleverness of an inventive mind.
Yet, these two nations, the United Kingdom and the United States, exhibit the worst social mobility among the most developed nations.
Social mobility is the predictability of income based on the income of our parents. Here and In the United Kingdom, half of our parents' economic advantage is passed on to our children. In Canada, Finland, Norway and Denmark, less than 20 percent is. In other words, in Canada, 80 percent of one's success is based on their own hard work, while here we only create half of our success. The rest is an intergenerational privilege.
A corollary is that one without economic advantage is 2.5 times more likely to be held back in the U.S. than in Canada.
This social immobility is surprising. After all, our nation view is a land of opportunity that disbanded family privilege and created a level playing field centuries ago. And yet, the meritocracy is not nearly so robust here as we think.
Of course, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. We can cite examples of Horatio Alger success stories in which an underprivileged but hard-working and intelligent people rise to their true potential. The glass ceiling is not impenetrable, but it is very thick.
I then came across another study that demonstrates a potential root of the phenomenon. It shows higher education is not without its class bias.
Yes, the top schools also admit students who are poor and cannot otherwise afford the steep tuition. These students, though, remain the minority among a student body made up of children of alumni and parents who can afford the full ride.

Buggy Sounds of Summer — July - August 2004
By Larry Weber
Illustrations by Taina Litwak
Biking to a park on a hot July day, you hear clicking and buzzing coming from roadside grasses. Returning at dusk, you tune into chirping and creaking too. In the days and weeks that follow, more buzzing and whining calls resound from treetops. Welcome to the hot sounds of the singing bugs of summer.
Crickets, katydids, and cicadas perform in this warm-weather chorus. The males call for mates.
Instead of using throats and lungs to sing, these insects make sounds using other specialized parts on the skeleton on the outside of the body.
Because they are cold blooded, insects need hot days to warm up their instruments. You won't hear them on a cool morning. But if you listen, you will notice them around midday. By late afternoon or early evening, more insects will have joined the chorus.
Crickets and Katydids
Crickets and katydids belong to the insect order Orthoptera, which means "straight wings." Though many do have straight wings, some have rounded or curved wings.
Crickets and katydids make sounds with their wings. The insect rubs a sharp ridge on one wing against a rough part of the other. As it rubs, its wings vibrate. The vibration amplifies the sound. This singing style, known as stridulation, sounds like buzzes, chips, chirps, or clicks.
Crickets. Crickets hold their wings flat on the back. Their long, slender antennae extend beyond the body. The female has a single long tube, called an ovipositor, for laying her eggs in soil or plants.
Two common kinds of field crickets sing chirping songs in Minnesota. Listen for spring field crickets from May to July. Their cousins, the fall field crickets, sing from July to October. Ground crickets make a series of soft, high-pitched trills or buzzes. Their pulsating call often seems like background noise, resounding day and night from late summer into October. Ground crickets are dark brown and often striped. You might see these tiny crickets scatter in front of a lawn mower.
Tree crickets are pale green with broad wings. Some species live in trees and bushes, especially raspberry and blackberry, and tend to sing at night. Some tree crickets live in grasses and weeds, and call both day and night. Though some chirp, most make a very long trill: treet-treet-treet. When they synchronize their calls into one loud sound, it seems to come from everywhere at once.
Katydids. Katydids look like large green grasshoppers with super-long antennae. Indeed, another name for these insects is long-horned grasshoppers.
Minnesota is home to four kinds of native katydids: bush katydids, meadow katydids (also called meadow grasshoppers), conehead katydids, and shieldback katydids (also called shieldback grasshoppers). They live in the vegetation and feed on leaves. A few will eat other insects. Katydids start calling in mid-July and keep going until October.
Shieldback katydids, the first to call in summer, buzz softly for two to five seconds at a time.
Meadow katydids are the next to call. All afternoon and into the evening on hot days, you can hear their click, click, click followed by louder buzzes.
Conehead katydids call from fields and roadsides of grasses and sedges on warm summer nights. Males repeat a loud, quick tsip-tsip-tsip or a loud, steady buzz.
Bush katydids, camouflaged on leaves of shrubs and meadow grasses, call in late afternoon. Their sharp zick call sounds like crunching a potato chip. After dark, the males make a creaking zeep-zeep-zeep song that females sometimes answer with a little chip.
The name katydid comes from a large species found in the southern and northeastern United States. Pioneers thought the katydid call sounded like "Katy-did" or "Katy-she-did," and so they dubbed the noisemaker the katydid. This species is not native to Minnesota, but it was accidentally transported here years ago and can now be found in the Twin Cities area.
Cricket wings: Big sound, little size
We male crickets have very special wings. Not only do we use our wings to fly, but we also use them to make sounds.
Our secret? Close to the place where our wings meet, we have a file and scraper. The tiny row of teeth called a file hides beneath the top wing. The bottom wing has the scraper. The scraper edge curves to fit between the teeth.
When we close our wings, the scraper trips across each tooth and makes a tiny pulse of sound. Back and forth the cricket's scraper moves, a little bit like the way you might scrape your fingernail across the teeth of a comb, only much, much faster. (Common field crickets play 4,000 teeth per second.) The male katydid uses only one wing as a scraper and one as a file, and he makes sounds only when closing his wings.
This little sound grows louder as it bounces through the broadcasting parts of our wings, called the harp and mirror in crickets, and into the air.
Future mates can find us easily by just following our songs. Unfortunately, predators can hear us too.

Cicadas belong to the insect order Hemiptera. A cicada is 1 to 2 inches long, with a blunt head and clear wings. Similar to true bugs, it has a mouthpart for sucking. Like a drinking straw with a sharp end, the cicada's mouthpart can pierce a woody plant and suck up sap.
The female cicada has an ovipositor folded under her abdomen. She uses it to slice into the tip of a branch and deposit eggs inside.
After the eggs hatch, the young cicadas (called nymphs) drop to the ground and use special front legs to tunnel into the soil. Underground, they feed on root sap and grow in dark burrows for many years.
Each cicada crawls out of the ground and up onto a tree or other woody plant. Then the cicada nymph inflates itself with air, moisture, and blood, splitting open its exoskeleton. Eventually, the grown-up cicada emerges and leaves its exoskeleton on the bark.
Males begin to call for a mate, and females listen for their courting call. After mating and laying eggs, the adults die.
The dog-day cicada calls from early July into September, the hottest part of summer, known as the dog days. Its high-pitched, whining song lasts a minute and resembles the sound of a distant buzz saw. The male usually sings around midday and again in late afternoon. Though widespread in the state, dog-day cicadas are most common in hardwood forests, where they call from high in the trees.
The Say's pruinose cicada also lives in hardwood forests. It pulsates its loud, memorable zee-oo-zee-oo for 15 to 30 seconds at a time. It calls during the brightest sunlit time of day and does an evening encore. Pruinose cicadas are common residents of woodlots, roadsides, and towns in much of the country.
The Canadian cicada, found in northern Minnesota pine and aspen woods, starts calling by the end of May and continues for two months. Its rapid, high-pitched lisps last about a minute.
The prairie cicada is smaller than other cicadas in Minnesota. Rare, it is disappearing along with its prairie habitat. Nymphs rely on the roots of compass-plant for food.
Periodic cicadas don't live in Minnesota, but they are famous because they emerge in huge swarms in the central and eastern United States. They live 13 or 17 years (depending on the species) underground.
The largest of all broods began emerging in May 2004 and will not emerge again until May 2021. It filled forests, parks, and yards in numbers exceeding the trillions!
Some people call cicadas -locusts, but they are not. The confusion happens because locusts, which are a kind of large grasshopper, sometimes show up in tremendous swarms. However, locust swarms are very destructive. They devour entire crops, while cicadas feed only on plant juices and do minor damage to trees.
Male cicada sound systems: Loudest of all
We male cicadas are loud! One of us is the loudest insect in the world. He's an African cicada recorded at 106.7 decibels (as loud as a chain saw) at 1 meter.
Our noisy song starts in stiff but flexible ribs found in parts called timbals. Only males have a pair of timbals: one on each side, under our wings.
When we want to attract a female, we lower our abdomen and puff it out. Then we use our timbal muscles to pull in our timbals. The timbals buckle like a squeezed pop can. One at a time, each little rib on the timbal makes a quick sound. When we relax these muscles, the timbals pop back out. Our timbals pop out and in many times very fast. Sounds from each rib run together and make a buzz.
Scientists think our expanded abdomen changes the pitch and makes the sound louder, but we haven't given up this secret yet.
On the underside, we have two tympana. We use them like amplifiers to make our sound go far. To do this, we have to open our opercula, flaps that cover and protect our tympana.
Females don't have timbals, but they do have tympana. They use them to hear our mating calls. We may be small, but we have a really cool way to make awesome, loud sounds.

DURHAM — Jerry Mack announced 16 recruits as part of the Eagles' recruiting class on Wednesday.
Mack officially began his role at N.C. Central on Jan. 6. He and his coaching staff managed to pull together 16 new additions, including 12 high school seniors and four are junior college transfers.
"It's a compliment to our coaching staff," Mack said about producing a quality recruiting class in less than a month.
There was a focus on recruiting talent from the Eagles' home state, with 13 of the 16 signees hailing from North Carolina. The other three are from Georgia, Mississippi and Texas.
N.C. Central addressed some position needs by landing four defensive backs and four wide receivers, while also adding four linemen, two on each side of the ball.
Wake Forest: The Deacons signed 22 prospective student-athletes and announced three freshmen who enrolled in January, as well as the addition of a graduate transfer.
Wake Forest's class includes 14 players on offense and 11 on defense with one specialist. The 26 players come from 12 states.
Three recent high school graduates enrolled in January for the start of the spring semester. The trio includes offensive linemen Ryan Anderson (6-6, 280) from The Hun School in Princeton, N.J. and Nick Luedeke (6-5, 245) from Holly Springs, N.C., as well as linebacker Jaboree Williams (6-0, 210) from Deerfield Beach, Fla.
Joining the program as a graduate transfer is E.J. Scott. Scott, a 5-11, 185-pound wide receiver, played three seasons at Virginia where he caught 32 passes for 420 yards and also returned kicks. All four of the on-campus newcomers will participate in spring practice.
Wake Forest added 11 defensive players including four linemen, three linebackers and four defensive backs.
N.C. State: Sophomore Brittni Watkins has been named the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Gymnast of the Week.
Watkins was named Gymnast of the Week for the third time this season.
This past weekend against Missouri, Watkins captured the all-around title for the third time this season with a career-best score of 39.425. The sophomore also tied her career-best score on the floor exercise with a routine that scored a 9.900, while also finishing first on the uneven parallel bars with a 9.850. Watkins also finished on the podium on vault with a score of 9.875 to claim second, as well as a second-place finish on beam with a score of 9.800.

Pub is back in business weeks after closure
5:00pm Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
A HISTORIC pub has reopened just weeks after it closed leaving 20 people without jobs.
The Crown in Manningtree announced to customers and employees on New Year's Day it would be closed until further notice.
The Greene King pub, which was refurbished and relaunched in May, has been run by Julie Bain for the past 21 years.
Greene King confirmed the pub had closed, saying Ms Bain had left due to ill-health.
The pub reopened under temporary management on Saturday.
A spokesman for Greene King said: "Customers will be pleased to know the Crown in Manningtree re-opened.
"We have received a lot of interest from potential operators and are now in the process of recruiting a new and permanent tenant.
"In the meantime, the pub remains open under a temporary management team.
"We would like to thank customers for their support during this time and apologise for any inconvenience caused."
It is not known if those who lost their jobs will be re-employed.

Arrow may have left off on a happy note, but that won't last very long!
Comic book fans should be happy to hear that The CW's new adaptation of The Flash will be faithful to what the characters they've come to know and love.
The Arrow spin-off tells the story of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), a scientist who, after a freak accident, gains the power of super speed and transforms into the Fastest Man Alive. Using his powers, Barry hopes to prove the innocence of his father, who was accused of murdering Barry's mother.

Anything on The Blacklist? — Michelle While everyone has been focused on the mystery of Liz's father, Season 2 will also explore who Liz's mother was. "If the part about my dad wasn't true, what is the truth, if any, that I need to learn about my mom?" executive producer John Eisendrath says of Liz's mindset this year. In other news, there will be a small time jump when the show returns, but Berlin will still very much be in the picture as the main villain in the "first portion of the year," Eisendrath adds.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal's humanity is one weapon no member of the Corps has ever had, and if--with willpower, determination and the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively)--Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he will save the Earth and all of mankind from certain destruction.
Protectors of peace and justice, the Green Lantern Corp must rely on their newest and only human recruit, Hal Jordan, to save the Earth from a new enemy called Parallax.

CSS polygonal image map rollovers, help!
Hi again sitepoint masters,
I'm trying to complete a splash page with rather complicated rollover areas.
I don't have anything online, but the images should suffice.
this would be the area as it initially appears onscreen
this would be the rollover, and now it is a link.
I'm aware that DW has a polygonal link area map tool, but it doesn't necessarily handle rollovers. Is there a simpler method without using the maps?
Would something like this work
a:hover {
background-image: url("..polygon_rollover.png")
There are 8 of these polygonal links. What am I looking at, spans? creating a class for each one?
Thanks in advance on this simple question,

The markup will not change ( you will need 8 links and 8 IDs for each of the 8 bgs with individual graphics for each ( you can make a sprite, you you will still ahve to custom raw each state into it..) but you will need to positioning like a jigsaw puzzle. The tricky part will be the way you overlap them, as you really cant map an anchor... all the click able area remains be rectangular.Tips for better/ faster SitePoint forum answers

As dresden said CSS can only do rectangular shapes and so you would need loads of little rectangles laid out to match the image shape.
It's probably easier to use something like this jquery plugin that takes a normal image map and converts it to a rollover. In this was you can get non rectangular shapes. (or perhaps using the raphael javascript library but is a little more complex.)
There is an html/css method but it is only supported in Firefox and Opera unfortunately.
If you don't need to follows the edge that precisely you could use sprites as in this example.

In America we take it for granted that when we buy alcohol it's poison free. But in much of the developing world, poisonous alcohol is a very real problem. Beverages tainted with methanol are frequently causing blindness and oftentimes death. The drinks can come from botched batches of home-distilled liquor but it's more likely that a criminal gang has cut standard alcohols with methanol and sold the resulting concoctions for inflated profits. Because adding methanol [...] Read More »

Bryant Release
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Sophomore guard Dyami Starks (Duluth, Minn.) tied his career-high with 25 first-half points to lead the Bryant University men's basketball team to a 78-56 victory over Binghamton University Saturday afternoon at the Chace Athletic Center.
The performance marked Starks's third-straight outing with 20 points or more and the guard's fourth such showing in the last five games. Juniors Corey Maynard (Adelaide, Australia) and Alex Francis (Harlem, N.Y.) each chipped in 12 points for the Bulldogs (5-3), who outrebounded the Bearcats (2-8), 40-32.
Bryant shot 48.2 percent on the day after a .667 clip in the first half and dumped in a season-high 12 treys to finish at 52.2 percent from downtown. Maynard led the home side with a game-best eight rebounds while he and senior guard Frankie Dobbs (Berea, Ohio) both dished out a contest-high five assists in Bryant's fifth victory in the last six games.
Binghamton was led by 15 points from Jordan Reed, who tied Maynard's eight boards, and 14 more from Jimmy Gray. The Bearcats shot 36.5 percent from the field and were just 5-of-18 from beyond the arc while going 13-for-26 from the free throw line.
The Bulldogs took the lead early on and never let up, taking a 13-5 advantage six minutes into the game on a Francis dunk, forcing Binghamton to burn an early timeout.
The next eight Bulldog points would come from Starks, including back-to-back treys from each side of the arc, to give the home side a 21-7 lead with 12 minutes to play. The guard would start the frame a perfect 6-for-6 from the floor and 4-for-4 from 3-point range to score 17 points in the opening 9:34 of the contest.
With Starks's fifth triple of the half, Bryant doubled up the Bearcats, 44-22, as the clock ticked down to the three-minute mark, and he would hit another for a 47-28 advantage with 1:23 remaining before the break.
Rookie Shane McLaughlin (Old Tappan, N.J.) – who scored a personal-best six points in his first-career start – would knock down a long jumper with just seconds on the clock to send the Black and Gold into halftime with a 51-30 advantage.
As a team, Bryant was on fire from beyond the arc in the half, going 8-for-14 (57.1 percent) as a unit on the back of Starks's 6-of-7 clip, while the Black and Gold shot a season-high 66.7 percent from the floor in the stanza.
In the second half, the Bulldogs struggled from the field with their regulars out of the lineup for the majority of the frame – to the tune of just 31 percent shooting – but the Bearcats couldn't make up any ground, shooting just 33.3 percent themselves in the session.
Bryant emptied its bench as the minutes ticked on and saw rookie Curtis Oakley (South Euclid, Ohio) and junior Tim McKinney (Duxbury, Mass.) score the first points of their collegiate careers, with the former knocking one down from 3-point range with 7:42 to play to up Bryant's lead to 70-42 (five points on the day). Seniors Erick Smith (Bel Air, Md.), Daniel Calandrillo (Leonardo, N.J.) and Raphael Jordan (Bel Air, Md.), and sophomore Patrick Matthews (Waipahu, Hawaii) all saw time as well.
Bryant's 40 rebounds marked the team's season-best performance on the glass, as were its 20 assists and .522 shooting mark from long range. The Bulldogs are now 2-0 against the America East in 2012-13 and 3-0 against Binghamton all time.
Bryant must now turn its attention to its next opponent in a tough Navy squad in a short turnaround game. The Bulldogs take on the Midshipmen in Annapolis, Md., Monday night (7 p.m.).

Cooperstown Crier
---- — The Milford boys varsity basketball team stunned the defending sectional champions, Hancock, last year by defeating them. The No. 12 seed Wildcats defeated the No. 5 seed, 61-56, in overtime.
South Kortright coach Bob VanValkenburgh said the team was "quick" and "just would not go away" after his team won the championship round of the Pat Grasso Tournament in Laurens.
The Wildcats, who had a 9-7 record, seemed to always hang in there and put in a lot of effort. Will this year's group be better?
It is too early to tell, according to coach Frank Spurchise. However, he said he is very excited about this year's squad.
"Practice has shown a lot of positive energy and good chemistry," he said. "Although we lack varsity experience in several positions, our depth is the best it has been in a few years."
Spurchise said he still has not determined who his starting-five players will be.
"The starting-five is up for grabs and it has made for some competitive practices," he said.
The Wildcats have a 13-man roster going into the season. The team will return last year's starters Peyton Griffiths and William Ward, both guards. Griffiths and Ward will serve as captains.
Also returning will be senior Elijah Coley and sophomores Blake Elliott, Jacob Tabor and Paul Van Warner. Moving up from the junior varsity squad will be Stephen Banks, Max Lang, Tyler Hecox and Brian Atwell. Newcomers will include junior Elijah Rutledge and seniors Parker Fish and Kevin Musser.
The Tri Valley League will be very competitive on both sides, Spurchise said.
"I think it will be a wide open race," he said. "Each team has their strengths and your team will need to be ready for every opponent."
The Wildcats will kick off their season on their home court with the return of The Anton Remy Tournament. After being absent for a few years, the MCS Booster Club is sponsoring the event, which will start on Thursday, Nov. 29 and run through Saturday Dec. 1.
The tentative tournament schedule is as follows: (The game slots may change, but these are the teams participating in the event).
Thursday, Nov. 29
6 p.m., CV-S varsity boys vs. Franklin varsity boys
7:30 p.m., Milford varsity girls vs. CV-S varsity girls

There are no kangaroos in Austria.
We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in!
Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.
The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party.
This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality.The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself!

Dallas High School Band
The Dallas High School Marching Band has a long and respected tradition. Currently, the program has experienced a great reduction in student participation.
While other local High Schools celebrate the tradition of Marching Band, and their student Band members acquire a lifetime of musical experiences that translate into university degrees and careers, the Dallas High School Marching Band struggles to keep their program alive.
With your support, we have an opportunity to present this issue to the Dallas High School Administration and the Dallas School District Board.
As a Dallas School District resident, your signature pledges your support for the Dallas High School Band and will help to restore the tradition that is the Dallas High School Marching Band.
