Hi guys,
I have a quick question. I have an opportunity to go to the Celtics open practice tomorrow via having a friend of a friend who is a season ticket holder. Does anyone know what this event entail, when it starts, ect. I'm a poor college student who can't afford real tickets and would love the opportunity to get a look at the Celts (and take a break form studying for finals)
Any info that you could share would be much appreciated.

Funny how the Speaker of the House never mentions those points when he is talking about the failure of the administration to approve the pipeline. Or the massive campaign contributions from the land owners ( one of whom is Tbone Pickings) or the Gulf coast refineries.
tl;dr money in Congressional pockets good, common sense not the issue, the issue is Obama bad
Originally posted by: William T. ShermanFacts for, and against, what? You don't even have a coherent argument.
You blame Obama for higher oil prices in one post and then concede that no president has authority over them in another. You complain that he cut back on permits and say that he should be working to increase domestic production when he's actually increased permits and domestic production has gone up in the last few years. You want the federal govt to do something about gas prices, but you won't support R&D for new technology. All the while, you can't link to any article or information that didn't come from the right wing echo chamber.
If you want a real conversation here it would help if you first made a single coherent argument, because right now it seems like your biggest problem with Obama is that he's not a Republican.
Originally posted by: William T. ShermanOriginally posted by: Killetno, you pointed out he approved permits, you havent shown anything that says he approved more than anyone ever
That's only because, as far as I can tell, historical data for that isn't available online. And he most definitely has permitted more than anybody, if only because the fields we're tapping today require more wells.
Either way, you're clearly misinformed about energy in general, so forgive me if I don't find your argument very compelling.

With February being Women's Heart Health Month, the eighth annual Wear Red Luncheon hosted by IU Health West Hospital and Hendricks County Senior Services was held Wednesday at the Hendricks County Senior Center.
The event serves as the largest fundraiser of the year for the senior center.
Those who attended the luncheon left with plenty of useful information to keep them heart healthy for the future.
One of the big emphases of the luncheon was the education of hands-only CPR.
Josh Halon, director of cardiac and pulmonary services at IU Health West, explained to those in attendance the importance of the life saving technique.
"We are out here for a great reason and that's to create awareness for women and heart disease," Halon said. "More specifically, what I'm up here to talk about is kind of what ties back to that song 'Stayin' Alive,' (by the Bee Gees, which was playing before the luncheon started) and to create awareness about a life saving technique that each and every one of us can learn, and that is CPR."
He said that when administering hands-only CPR, a person should call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest, using the song as a reference.
"The recommendation is to do 100 beats per minute when you're doing CPR and ironically, 'Staying Alive' is 100 beats per minute," Halon said. "If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have to do CPR, just sing 'Staying Alive' in your head and do CPR to that beat."
He said anyone can learn the technique and the important thing to remember is that any amount of CPR can help.
"This is something that can be life saving, it is not something that you have to be a big tough guy to do," Halon said. "Anything you can do ... can help save someone's life. Even just pushing a little bit can keep blood flowing through the body."
For those who attended, IU Health West offered the chance to practice hands-only CPR on mannequins, which clicked when the appropriate amount of pressure was being applied.
Hendricks County Senior Services Executive Director Marina Keers said she was happy to be able to partner with IU Health West again this year.
"The goal of this event is to make sure that women in our community understand the importance of heart health," Keers said. "This year was really exciting because we added the component of the hands-only CPR training. IU Health has been really instrumental in getting that out into the community during the month of February ... culminating at the Wear Red Luncheon. We were able to train about 200 women in the technique of hands-only CPR."
Halon shared some statistics to help put the importance of learning hands-only CPR into perspective.
"Roughly 350,000 to 400,000 people each year suffer from cardiac arrest outside of the hospital," he said. " ... Of those people, nearly 88 percent will have it happen in their home."
He said with the chances of cardiac arrest occurring to a person's loved one in their home, it is important to take the short amount of time it takes to learn hands-only CPR.
Halon said he has administered CPR four times outside of the hospital, twice on people who were 28 years of age or younger, and once on his wife in their home.
The keynote speaker was Ziad Jaradat, M.D., an interventional cardiologist with IU Health Physicians Cardiology.
Jaradat told the crowd about some of the risk factors that are attributed to cardiovascular disease.
"The (risk factor) I always like to start with is smoking — if you smoke, it's not good," he said.
Jaradat said when he looks at a person's arteries, he can immediately tell whether they are a smoker.
He said the No. 2 risk factor is blood pressure. Jiradat added it's important for a patient to take control of their blood pressure, which means checking it frequently and making sure they are living a healthy lifestyle.
He said two other main risk factors are diabetes and family history.
Jaradat said it's also important for people to understand what the warning signs or symptoms of a heart attack are, although he stressed that they can change from person to person.
Normal symptoms include chest discomfort; discomfort in other areas of the upper body (arms, shoulders, back, neck, jaw, or upper abdomen); shortness of breath; and others signs such as cold sweats, nausea, unusual fatigue, or dizziness. Jaradat then took questions from the audience.
Keers said she felt this year's luncheon was a success, noting that attendance was up from previous years and that they reached their fundraising goal.
"This year was really great, we did some new things and I think Dr. Jaradat was really engaging," she said. "We heard from a lot of people that were there (Wednesday) that they were able to take the information and do something with it. They really learned a lot yesterday. We really couldn't have been happier."
The luncheon sponsors were American Senior Communities, Danville Auto Service & Tire, Inc., and North Salem State Bank.
Hendricks County Senior Services is at 1201 Sycamore Lane, Danville. For more information, call 745-4303.
IU Health West Hospital is at 1111 N. Ronald Reagan Parkway, Avon. For more information, call 217-3000.

In this blog post I will demonstrate with a hands-on example how to use EF Code First Workflow to create an entity data model, an .edmx file so I can visualise my POCO classes
I will follow the steps that I created in this post. In that post I managed to create POCO classes without actually writing the classes myself, but I had EF taking care of that by pointing to the right database.
Please note that what I am about to show will work just fine when one creates his own POCO classes. By that I mean is that you do not need to reverse engineer Code First classes from an existing database for the visualisation to work. You can create your POCO classes from scratch and still use Entity Framework Power Tools to create the .edmx file.
I am going to re-create some of the steps of my other post in this one.
I am running VS Studio 2012 Ultimate edition but you can use Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. You can install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web if you download Web Platform Installer.You can download this tool from this link.
1) I am launching VS 2012 and I will Visual C# as the programming language. I will also select ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application from the available templates.I will name my application CodeFirstExistingDatabase
2) Normally with Code First we create new classes and then EF knows how tο create the database from those classes. In this application we will do the reverse.
3) Before I create the database I need to download and install Entity Framework Power Tools Beta 3. Go to Tools -> Extensions and updates and search for Entity Framework Power Tools Beta 3 and then install it. Have a look at the picture below. I have already installed it.In you case it will say Install.
The good news is that Entity Framework Power Tools will be included in EF 6.0.
4) I have already created a sample database. It is called School. It has two tables with data, Course and Department. There is one to many relationship between Department and Course. A Department has many Course(s). This is the script ( SchoolDB.zip) that will install the database with the data in your SQL Server instance.Make sure you have the database installed.
5) Right-click on your project, then select Entity Framework -> Reverse Engineer Code First.Have a look at the picture below
6) In the next step we will be prompted to connect to the database. Connect to the SQL Server instance and the connect to the DB and hit OK.Have a look at the picture below
7) Now the Power Tools of EF have created the necessary classes. Have a look under the Models,Mapping folder to see the generated files.
Have a look at the picture below
Open web.config. EF has added a connection string to the database
<add name="schoolContext" connectionString="Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=school; Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
The schoolContext.cs file has been created. There is a class in there schoolContext. It has the same name as the name in the name property of the connection string above (name=schoolContext).The schoolContext class derives from the DbContext. DbContext is a base class in EF and it is responsible for change tracking,persisting data back to the database and in general managing the entity objects during runtime. DbSet properties are also exposed and those properties represent collections of the specified entities in the context.
public schoolContext() : base("Name=schoolContext")
Those two lines of code above tell EF that the connection information for this context should be loaded from web.config.
Τhese are the contents of the schoolContext.cs file
public partial class schoolContext : DbContext { static schoolContext() { Database.SetInitializer<schoolContext>(null); } public schoolContext() : base("Name=schoolContext") { } public DbSet<Course> Courses { get; set; } public DbSet<Department> Departments { get; set; } protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new CourseMap()); modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new DepartmentMap()); } }
There Department.cs and Course.cs are also included.These are the POCO classes i was talking earlier. These two classes are very simple classes and have no dependency from EF. The Department class follows.
public partial class Department { public Department() { this.Courses = new List<Course>(); } public int DepartmentID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public decimal Budget { get; set; } public System.DateTime StartDate { get; set; } public Nullable<int> Administrator { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Course> Courses { get; set; } }
You can see the properties that map to the columns of the Department table in the database. The Courses property is a navigation property. A Department entity can related to any number of Courses entities.Navigation properties are typically defined as virtual so that they can take advantage of certain Entity Framework functionality such as lazy loading.
The Course.cs file follows
public partial class Course { public int CourseID { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public int Credits { get; set; } public int DepartmentID { get; set; } public virtual Department Department { get; set; } }
The DepartmentMap.cs file is a configuration file for the Department entity type in the model.It uses Fluent API to configure the type.It defines the table the entity maps to. It defines-matches the columns
of the table with the entity properties. Also defines any relationships
and things like Primary key e.t.c. Its contents follow.
public class DepartmentMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Department> { public DepartmentMap() { // Primary Key this.HasKey(t => t.DepartmentID); // Properties this.Property(t => t.DepartmentID) .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None); this.Property(t => t.Name) .IsRequired() .HasMaxLength(50); // Table & Column Mappings this.ToTable("Department"); this.Property(t => t.DepartmentID).HasColumnName("DepartmentID"); this.Property(t => t.Name).HasColumnName("Name"); this.Property(t => t.Budget).HasColumnName("Budget"); this.Property(t => t.StartDate).HasColumnName("StartDate"); this.Property(t => t.Administrator).HasColumnName("Administrator"); } }
The CourseMap.cs file is a configuration file for the Course entity type in the model. It uses Fluent API to configure the type.It defines the table the entity maps to. It defines-matches the columns of the table with the entity properties. Also defines any relationships and things like Primary key e.t.c. Its contents follow.
public class CourseMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Course> { public CourseMap() { // Primary Key this.HasKey(t => t.CourseID); // Properties this.Property(t => t.CourseID) .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None); this.Property(t => t.Title) .IsRequired() .HasMaxLength(100); // Table & Column Mappings this.ToTable("Course"); this.Property(t => t.CourseID).HasColumnName("CourseID"); this.Property(t => t.Title).HasColumnName("Title"); this.Property(t => t.Credits).HasColumnName("Credits"); this.Property(t => t.DepartmentID).HasColumnName("DepartmentID"); // Relationships this.HasRequired(t => t.Department) .WithMany(t => t.Courses) .HasForeignKey(d => d.DepartmentID); } }
8) Finally we need to create the .edmx file. Select the schoolContext.cs file in the Solution Explorer then right-click, select Entity Framework ->View Entity Data Model (Read-only)
Have a look at the picture below.
9) Then the entity data model is created.This is read-only model. You cannot work with your model (.edmx) and POCO classes at the same time.This is just for visualisation purposes
Have a look at the picture below
if you want to have the XML representation of the .edmx file you can select the View Entity Data Model XML.Select Entity Framework ->View Entity Data Model XML.
If you want to displays the DDL SQL statements that corresponds to the SSDL in the underlying Entity Data Model select Entity Framework ->View Entity Data Model DDL SQL
In my case I see the following T-SQL statements that create my DB structure.
create table [dbo].[Course] ( [CourseID] [int] not null, [Title] [nvarchar](100) not null, [Credits] [int] not null, [DepartmentID] [int] not null, primary key ([CourseID]) ); create table [dbo].[Department] ( [DepartmentID] [int] not null, [Name] [nvarchar](50) not null, [Budget] [decimal](18, 2) not null, [StartDate] [datetime] not null, [Administrator] [int] null, primary key ([DepartmentID]) ); alter table [dbo].[Course] add constraint [Course_Department] foreign key ([DepartmentID]) references [dbo].[Department]([DepartmentID]) on delete cascade;
Hope it helps!!!

Hey, Tomahawk Nation!
I'm still fairly new to TN -- I joined a little over two weeks ago -- but I love the site so far. I've really been enjoying the Film Review, seeing other people's thoughts, and getting involved a little bit with the other boards [e.g. Testudo Times, Shakin' the Southland, etc.].
Anyways, I wanted to contribute a little bit. It's not awesome, in-depth analysis or cool, exclusive interviews, but something I've been interested in as the season has progressed. I've noticed the decorations on JW5's helmet starting to take up some space -- so I decided I'd count how many he's earning per game. I apologize if some of the pictures aren't the best. I got them all using screen caps and modified them to be a reasonable size. Most should be fairly clear, but occasionally the film crews just weren't kind enough to get a nice, HD shot of the back of JW5's helmet, so I had to work with what I had.
Without further ado:
FSU @ Pitt
Not surprisingly, JW5 had no helmet stickers on display for his debut. No one did -- it would seem FSU doesn't allow use of helmet stickers from prior years/seasons and the spring game doesn't count.
STATS: 25/27, 356 yards, 5 TDS [4 passing, 1 rushing].
Nevada @ FSU
TOTAL: 15 [15 new]
Pretty impressive -- 15 helmet stickers for his first game? Hella nice.
STATS: 15/18, 214 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT.
Bethune-Cookman @ FSU
TOTAL: 19 [4 new]
JW5 only snagged 4 new ones for his role in walloping the Wolfpack.
STATS: 10/19, 148 yards, 2 TDs.
FSU @ Boston College
TOTAL: 22 [3 new]
Startin' to fill up. JW5 grabbed 3 more after a pedestrian performance against Bethune-Cookman. [I don't know how to use the sarcasm font yet.]
STATS: 17/28, 330 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT.
Maryland @ FSU
TOTAL: 33 [11 new]
I think CJF was fairly impressed with JW5 taking charge "in the face of adversity" and leading FSU on a 45 - 17 run against BC. JW5 now has more on either side than he did after his performance in Pittsburgh. After the Maryland shellacking, his helmet might weigh too much and might affect his scrambling abilities.
I have a theory that by the end of the season, his helmet will have so many stickers there won't be any room left and he'll just play with a black helmet and start getting gold tomahawks instead. It's only fair.
STATS: 23/32, 393 yards, 5 TDs.
That's all from me for now. I hope you guys enjoyed this brief little read. If you guys did, I'll try to make this a weekly thing.
EDIT: Thanks to shonole for some of the criteria for earning a helmet sticker:
Offensively a player may earn one tomahawk if, for instance, he rushes for 100 yards, tops 100 yards receiving or throws, catches or runs for a touchdown. A player can lose a tomahawk for bad plays such as a fumble, interception, flagrant penalty or academic violation.
Defensively, if a player intercepts a pass, etc. that's five points. A player can lose points in a variety of ways, such as missing an assignment (one point) or drawing an ill-timed penalty (five points). Every 10 points equal one tomahawk.
Academic decals are given out as well, the only visual difference being that they say "academic" down the shaft of the Tomahawk.
FYI, the maximum a player can get is 106.

For the third time, a Hampton man is behind bars, charged with sexually abusing a child.
Repeat offenders are common and jail time doesn't seem to be stopping some criminals.
The Child Advocacy Center says this is a good example, why parents should always check who their children are with.
"It is pretty common that we see multiple victims by the same perpetrator," says Cari Simpson with the Child Advocacy Center.
48–year–old Ross Shepherd was convicted of sexual assault of a child in 1997 and 2010.
He was released from prison last March after serving half of his five-year sentence.
Credit he got from Nebraska's "Good Time Law."
Now, in York County, less than six months later, he's accused of sexually assaulting a seven–year–old.
He faces four new counts, dating back to August.
"Sex offenders know how to do this. That's kind of ammo. They know how to charm people; they know how to build your trust, so that you allow children to be with them."
The details in this case are unknown," says Simpson.
Simpson recommends parents check the sex offender list often.
"We always recommend, if you know a sex offender, whether it's a relative, whether it's your best friend, you do not let them be alone with your children," says Simpson.
Simpson also thinks everyone should be doing there research during election season, since issues like restricting Nebraska's "Good Time Law" will likely come up for debate.
"People do take this to heart when were talking about child sexual abuse and I think it's really important that you know who the judges in those cases are, what are the laws in Nebraska and how does our legislature view it," says Simpson.
Shepherd was arraigned Tuesday morning and his trial is set for November 13th, because of his past he could be sentenced 5-50 years per count, if convicted.
The Nebraska Sex Offender Registry can be found at: https://sor.nebraska.gov/

At Loews Centerpark 8, you won't end up in a closet-like theater with a screen the size of a big TV. This relatively modern complex, which opened Memorial Day 1993, has eight theaters that all have large screens. And the seating capacity diminishes only slightly from 380 to 250 seats.

If I ever get the time / find a point in the future where I need to complete a report for class but get a major case of the procrastinations, I'll see if I can do this with all Seahawk quarterbacks or something, but here's my idea: cross-era equivalencies. What would Dave Krieg's stats from 1984 look like in the context of 2010? I know this has been done before, but I don't think it's been done using standard deviations. I'll try and explain my method here and see if people think if it has any legs.
In 1984, Dave Krieg put up the following numbers for a team which went 12-4 despite not having a RB rush for more than 350 yards that year:
16 G, 270-480, 3671 yds, 32 TDs, 24 Int, 40 Sk, 314 yds lost, 5.6 ANY/A
And just for the heck of it, here's Dan Marino, who set a record for TDs which was only recently surpassed:
16 G, 362-564, 5084 yds, 48 TDs, 17 Int, 13 Sk, 120 yds lost, 8.9 ANY/A
How does that compare with the league? I'm going to figure that out using rate stats for attempts per game, completion percentage, yards per completion, touchdown and INT percentage, sack percentage, and finally yards lost per sack. Instead of doing this on a percentile basis - that is, saying that Krieg threw 35% more passes than the average QB, I'm going to use standard deviations. The sample size might be a bit on the small size for this metric (using players with 50 or more passing attempts, I get 54 guys I can use for this study) but the idea still holds: essentially, two thirds of all players will be between 1 standard deviation from the league average one way or the other, with 95% within 2 standard deviations.
The average number of attempts per game, taking into account all of these guys, starters and backups (I wish there was a better way to do this but one issue is that there were just a lot fewer passes thrown overall 26 years ago and I don't want to stray from the st-dev idea for now) is 21.90, with the standard deviation at 8.00. That means that Dave Krieg, with his 30 attempts was 1.01 standard deviations above the norm for the year. Running these numbers with both QBs:
Krieg: Att/G: +1.01, Com% +0.41, Y/C +0.72, TD% +1.65, Int +0.21, Sk% -0.38, Y/Sk +0.20
Marino Att/G: +1.67, Com% +1.49, Y/C +1.24, TD% +2.69, Int -0.62, Sk% -2.20, Y/Sk +1.36
The big thing that sticks out already is that *huge* touchdown percentage number for Marino. A lot of younger fans might not remember that Dan the Man was also widely regarded as having the quickest release in the history of the game. Although never a very mobile quarterback, the man *never* got sacked. As you can see, Krieg was no slouch either, finishing above average in everything but interception percentage and in amidst the elites in TD% and attempts per game.
Now on to 2010. On average, teams attempted only around 2.9% more passing plays per game this year compared to 1984. That means, in order to find a similar cohort, I'll be looking at guys who attempted 51 or more throws. For what it's worth, this small change did not drop any QBs off the list who would have been on had I kept it at 50, although there's a case to be made to include Charlie Batch, who attempted just 49 passes but was also sacked 4 times. Probably not a huge difference, though, and in any case the 2010 cohort is 52 guys large. The averages and the deviations look like this:
Att/G: 28.05/8.06, Com% 59.5/4.8, Y/C 11.5/1.5, TD% 4.1/1.6, Int% 3.2/1.4, Sk% 6.7/2.5, Y/Sk 6.6/1.1
Okay, now for the fun part. Dave Krieg's 1.01 standard deviations above the norm gives him 36.2 attempts per game and 579 overall. The rest of the numbers for good old Mudbone:
Krieg, normalized to 2010: 16 G, 356-571, 61.5%, 4474 Yds, 39 TDs, 20 Int, 33 Sk, 213 SkY, 6.7 ANYA
Not a bad showing! Normalized to 2010, 1984 Dave Krieg would have finished tied for 6th in attempts with Matt Ryan and 4th in total passing between Drew Brees and Matt Schaub. Interestingly, his 39 TDs would actually have led the league, and although many of us think of Krieg as being the victim of the "blitzkrieg" attack, he would only have been 11th in the league in sack yardage, behind Ben Roethlisberger and just ahead of Michael Vick. All in all, that adjusted net yards per attempt number of 6.7 is pretty much exactly even with Schaub.
Now for added fun, let's look at Marino:
16 G, 443-664, 66.7%, 6,196 Yds, 56 TDs, 10 Int, 8 Sk, 65 SkY, 10.1 ANYA
Whoa. 8 sacks. 6,000 yards passing, more than 1,000 more than anyone else in NFL history (right now the real 1984 Dan Marino holds that record). 9 more TDs than Tom Brady had in 2007. Peyton Manning's 2004 actually comes sort of close to 1984 Marino's normalized stats (9.8), which shows how freaking amazing Peyton's Place was that year.
I just want to make this clear: this is not what Dan Marino would have done in 2010 if he was 24 years old, had the same team around him, and so on. This is what Dan Marino *did* do, relative to his league. Although the league has moved from being one where the run set up the pass to the other way around, Marino's raw totals from that year still look impressive today. Through the lens of era modifiers, that was a year sort of like Babe Ruth's 1920 in baseball.

Sophomore designated hitter William Carmona (Hempstead, N.Y.) and junior right-hander Nick Tropeano (West Islip, N.Y.), of the Stony Brook University baseball team, have been named Louisville Slugger All-Americans by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, the publication announced on Thursday. Carmona becomes the program's first ever first team all-american while Tropeano was selected to the second team.
Named the America East Player of the Year last Tuesday, Carmona hit .357 and set school records for hits (80) and doubles (27) with the doubles mark ranking third in the nation. Carmona led the America East in five offensive categories including batting average, slugging percentage (.580) and hits.
One of 25 finalists for the College Baseball Hall of Fame's Pitcher of the Year Award, Tropeano set America East single season records for wins (12) and strikeouts (119). The first player in conference history to win America East Pitcher of the Year twice, Tropeano ranked second in the country in victories and fifth in strikeouts per nine innings (11.52).
The duo led the 2011 Seawolves to their first America East regular season title and a school record 42 wins.

Koons 'Puppy' Blooms at Brant Estate
In Phaidon's latest hulking art tome, Defining Contemporary Art, Bice Curiger, the curator of the 2011 Venice Biennale, recalls seeing Jeff Koons's Puppy sculpture for the first time, in Arolsen, Germany, where it was installed during the run of Documenta 9, in 1992. (That show's curator had famously made a point of not inviting the decadent American.) Read More


text: 2 Interacting with `units' ************************** To invoke units for interactive use, type `units' at your shell prompt. The program will print something like this: 2131 units, 53 prefixes, 24 nonlinear units You have: At the `You have:' prompt, type the quantity and units that you are converting _from_. For example, if you want to convert ten meters to feet, type `10 meters'. Next, `units' will print `You want:'. You should type the type of units you want to convert _to_. To convert to feet, you would type `feet'. Note that if the readline library was compiled in then the tab key can be used to complete unit names. Note: Readline support, for more information about readline. The answer will be displayed in two ways. The first line of output, which is marked with a `*' to indicate multiplication, gives the result of the conversion you have asked for. The second line of output, which is marked with a `/' to indicate division, gives the inverse of the conversion factor. If you convert 10 meters to feet, `units' will print * 32.808399 / 0.03048 which tells you that 10 meters equals about 32.8 feet. The second number gives the conversion in the opposite direction. In this case, it tells you that 1 foot is equal to about 0.03 dekameters since the dekameter is 10 meters. It also tells you that 1/32.8 is about .03. The `units' program prints the inverse because sometimes it is a more convenient number. In the example above, for example, the inverse value is an exact conversion: a foot is exactly .03048 dekameters. But the number given the other direction is inexact. If you try to convert grains to pounds, you will see the following: You have: grains You want: pounds * 0.00014285714 / 7000 From the second line of the output you can immediately see that a grain is equal to a seven thousandth of a pound. This is not so obvious from the first line of the output. If you find the output format confusing, try using the `--verbose' option: You have: grain You want: aeginamina grain = 0.00010416667 aeginamina grain = (1 / 9600) aeginamina If you request a conversion between units which measure reciprocal dimensions, then `units' will display the conversion results with an extra note indicating that reciprocal conversion has been done: You have: 6 ohms You want: siemens reciprocal conversion * 0.16666667 / 6 Reciprocal conversion can be suppressed by using the `--strict' option. As usual, use the `--verbose' option to get more comprehensible output: You have: tex You want: typp reciprocal conversion 1 / tex = 496.05465 typp 1 / tex = (1 / 0.0020159069) typp You have: 20 mph You want: sec/mile reciprocal conversion 1 / 20 mph = 180 sec/mile 1 / 20 mph = (1 / 0.0055555556) sec/mile If you enter incompatible unit types, the `units' program will print a message indicating that the units are not conformable and it will display the reduced form for each unit: You have: ergs/hour You want: fathoms kg^2 / day conformability error 2.7777778e-11 kg m^2 / sec^3 2.1166667e-05 kg^2 m / sec If you only want to find the reduced form or definition of a unit, simply press return at the `You want:' prompt. Here is an example: You have: jansky You want: Definition: fluxunit = 1e-26 W/m^2 Hz = 1e-26 kg / s^2 The output from `units' indicates that the jansky is defined to be equal to a fluxunit which in turn is defined to be a certain combination of watts, meters, and hertz. The fully reduced (and in this case somewhat more cryptic) form appears on the far right. Some named units are treated as dimensionless in some situations. These include the radian and steradian. These units will be treated as equal to 1 in units conversions. Power is equal to torque times angular velocity. This conversion can only be performed if the radian is dimensionless. You have: (14 ft lbf) (12 radians/sec) You want: watts * 227.77742 / 0.0043902509 Note that named dimensionaless units are not treated as dimensionless in other contexts. They cannot be used as exponents so for example, `meter^radian' is not allowed. If you want a list of options you can type `?' at the `You want:' prompt. The program will display a list of named units which are conformable with the unit that you entered at the `You have:' prompt above. Note that conformable unit combinations will not appear on this list. Typing `help' at either prompt displays a short help message. You can also type `help' followed by a unit name. This will invoke a pager on the units data base at the point where that unit is defined. You can read the definition and comments that may give more details or historical information about the unit. Typing `search text' will display a list of all of the units whose names contain `text' as a substring along with their definitions. This may help in the case where you aren't sure of the right unit name.

I don't want to jump the gun here for obvious reasons.(namely you guys can be so mean :'( j/k) It is only the first day in a long couple months of signing and cutting, trading and other front office happenings. This Eagles regime always seems to know what they are doing without giving the rest of the NFL universe the luxury of knowing where they are heading. So I say this next part with full awareness that I will probably be wrong and the Eagles will once again be a contender in this upcoming season.
I think the Eagles are in a semi-state of rebuilding.
I do not feel the Eagles are in full rebuilding mode, since they have positioned this team with one smooth transition after another the last couple of years. This is evident with the most recent signings and drafts. However, it seems to me that unlike the 2004-2005 season when we knew we were only a few pieces from the Superbowl our front office is not as assured that we can contend with the other heavyweights in the NFC. ie. Dallas(feel dirty just saying that), Minnesota and New Orleans.
I think the first day of free agency was very telling in this point. If we thought we had the resources to be the top NFC team this year, we would have been more active on the first day of free agency. Our Super Bowl year we signed Jevon Kearse and traded for Terrell Owens by dinnertime that night. We gave an exorbitant amount of money to Kearse (compared to his previous year's production) and knew that we were the toast of the conference. If the front office truly believed we were at that point again, I think they would have made more serious moves for Peppers, Sharper, and possibly even Dansby. These signings would have made the Eagles powerhouses on the defensive side for at least this upcoming year and left us with only our O-line to address for immediate impact.
I feel this inaction has set a tone for the rest of the time period leading up to the draft. We have already cut Witherspoon because as much as he helped us out last year, he was do a rich payday and is on the wrong side of 30 for our long term usage. Our team is one of the youngest in the league and the I think the youth movement will continue. I see us now moving McNabb (which anyone can attest too, I was dead set against) but it is with the knowledge that the deepness of this draft at the key positions we need are going to require as many draft picks as we can acquire. We will make moves in the draft to revive our LB corp, O-line, D-line and secondary. Look for not only a starting FS but a replacement for Mikell. The Eagles will acquire a few vets for teaching and depth purposes, as well as retain the services of vets who are in no way outstanding, but solid in their own right.
Hopefully the closest thing to rebuilding we will need for the next 10+ years is upon us. I have said many times before, I trust our front offices decisions even if I don't always understand them. I think their decision is now for the Eagles to position themselves for the next decade and maybe catch a break this year.
But like I said. I'm probably wrong.

You don't have a mess like the Late Night Wars without fallout. Winners and losers are inevitable.
Winners: pugnacious Jimmy Kimmel; NBC Universal consigliere Ron Meyer, who helped to broker the settlement; and Conan O'Brien, who may have lost The Tonight Show, but walks away with his dignity intact, public support and $30 million.
Losers: Jay Leno, who wins a Pyrrhic victory as he takes back his old job, but may lose ratings and popularity in this messy slag-fest; and NBC, which lost hundreds of millions in the long run. As for NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker, who plans to attend the Golden Globes Sunday, many wonder how long new NBC Universal owner Comcast will hang onto him.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
Jerry | January 18, 2010 12:53 AM
Yeah, yeah, Howard Stern made a point on how Leno wants everybody to like him and think he's a good guy etc etc, and yet how sneaky the guy can really be. Look it up.
To tell you the truth this NBC train wreck is all fun for me to watch, but I don't care about Leno OR Conan. When it comes to Late Night, IF I stay up to watch a talk show, then it's Craig Ferguson.
My point is in this Leno versus Conan crap, everyone wants to choose sides. I'm not choosing sides, I'm just calling it the way I see it because that's how it's coming across to me, and 90 per cent of American viewers, along with the media and celebrities alike, and Leno hasn't done ONE THING to dispel ANY OF IT.
(And screw any "Herd mentality" comments anyone might want to throw in at that point.) That hasn't got anything to do with it. If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks likes a duck, then it must be a duck.
On a separate note, Jay Leno IS NOT funny, his humor is cornball and has been for a VERRRRYYYY long time. If Leno is so Damn funny, his show wouldn't have tanked in it's time slot. Give me Ferguson over Leno any day of the week.
Here's a memory refresher...
Jerry | January 17, 2010 11:25 AM
Willy, not ALL of us old guys are selfish, greedy weasels like Jay Leno. If a guy can do a job, no matter his age, then fine, I say let him do it.
But you don't announce to the world you're retiring, let a younger guy take over, then change your mind and stab him in the back. The debacle lies at the feet of Zucker and Leno, both of whom should rightfully be out of a job.
Leno's ratings tanked at 10pm. Was he upset? Hell no. He didn't care about his temp job. I wish people would quit focusing on Conan's ratings alone (Which are now up by the way) when Leno failed miserably in his time slot.
The difference is Leno knew what his plans were from the get go. He knew going in if he didn't succeed that O'Brien would be pushed out and he'd get his old job back. Dollars to donuts THAT conversation took place between he and NBC before his 10pm show aired.
What he didn't count on was Conan having a back bone and all this dirty "Behind the scenes" business being aired publicly the way it has. Now his image and NBC's is in the crapper, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he's been lamely trying to play it off.
It ain't working.
Like I said, I won't EVER be tuning in to the Tonight Show while the creep is hosting it.
jl | January 17, 2010 9:40 AM
An interesting post by Paul Reiser ... a chat w his kid
"Yeah. And how about the fact that while all this craziness is going on, Jay just shows up to work every day and does his job. He doesn't complain, he doesn't get upset... He just does what he's supposed to do: he makes people laugh. That's not easy, you know."
He thought about it.
"Jay's a really good guy, huh?"
"Yes he is. "
Jerry | January 17, 2010 7:56 AM
....Oh, and one more point regarding Jay Leno..Rich Sommer of "MadMen" had this to say,..
I think the team at Leno needs to get their heads out of their butts. Leno has had about 45 million opportunities not to be a dick in this whole thing. He's had 45 million chances not to be a jerk and he's passed each of them by. He's completely disregarded those opportunities. And he's taken every chance he can to just make the bad decisions. And I am really sad about that. I used to be a big Leno fan. It's really turned me off with this whole thing."
THAT sums up the damage that's been done to Leno's reputation no matter what position you take.
Jerry | January 17, 2010 7:44 AM
You're being far too gracious to Jay Leno, he's not blameless as you paint him to be.
Leno IS being a selfish asshole, just as much as the NBC execs.
I've never laid ALL of this debacle at Leno's feet, but he IS being as much a sleaze as the dogs he chooses to lay down with. If a vulture is profiting from the kill made by another animal, you can't say he isn't taking part in the bloody feast.
I remember when NBC screwed over David Letterman, AND I also remember how Johnny Carson backed Letterman and advised him to walk.
I call that a stand up guy with class, and Johnny Carson was definitely THAT GUY. Leno is a far cry from being able to fit the shoes of Johnny Carson.
The best article I've read on this whole thing is written by Richard Laermer, and here's the link.
Do yourself a favor and check it out.
Willy | January 17, 2010 4:29 AM
He didn't announce he was retiring, Jerry. People in their 50s don't retire much. He agreed, after the very ugly late shift in the 1990s, to go along with network wishes without a fight. "I won't be where I'm not wanted," he told Rolling Stone last year.
If Leno were really the selfish asshole people are making him out to be he never would have acquiesced. He would have stormed into Zucker's office and countered Conan's threat to jump ship with his own. That's what real assholes do. They go to another network looking for revenge.
The truth is, the people who are giving Jay shit right now never liked him to begin with. He isn't hip. He's older. He's a bit of a Tracy Flick with his work ethic. He also appeals to the Rush Limbaugh part of the country as much as he does the Chris Matthews side. To some, that spells "pussy."
If Conan showed any creative promise despite bad ratings (the way the low rated 30 Rock and The Office did in their infancy) the struggling network would have kept him on, with complete faith that he would build an audience. But if you've seen The Tonight Show, you know that Conan is just phoning it in with his freak and geek brand of comedy. He's the real pussy. (excuse me, Anne)
So NBC attempted one last time to fix the latest mess. They wanted to keep Conan and Jay but at the price of a half hour for each other them: Jay's running time and Conan in the lineup. It's a crappier deal than these two talents were used to but, hey, times are tough.
Conan was the one who said no. Conan waved his magic wand and turned NBC from bumbling idiots who can't run a network into being assholes who fired a nice young guy. And since uncool Jay benefits greatly, why not lump him in with the other assholes, right?
Laying this all at the feet of Leno is one of the most biased misreads I've seen in the media, and specifically the internet, in a long time.
Full disclosure: I don't watch Leno unless he's got a big guest and I outgrew Conan 10 years ago.
W Shaw | January 16, 2010 10:06 AM
Willy wrote " I am having trouble sympathizing with Conan though"
Is he kidding? Four years ago Jay Leno announced he was retiring.
There was no talk the of a 10pm Jay Leno show Four years ago he was very clear- he was retiring and passing the crown the jewel the big show-The TONIGHT SHOW - to Conan. Only within the last year did the world hear about Jay getting his own 10.pm show. Why- because Mr Big Chin mega bucks decided he did not want to retire again in 2009 -he changed his mind-so to accomodate him he was given a 10.00pm show by NBC. He caused this mess. He should leave. Suppose there was another scenario. God forbid but Leno became ill. Conan would right fully get and keep the Tonight Show hosting position wouldn't he?I hope that this weekend NBC suits will reconsider and give Conan at least a chance- give him one year to host the Tonight Show starting at its regular time 11.35pm.
And Jay Leno should stop being so greedy. After the Olympics if he does get back the Tonight Show -he won't get back the bulk of his fan base. Why? Many people are disgusted with him in the industry and outside the industry. Kimmel is right. You have 800 million dollars - take a rest like you had planned to do. Retire.
Why can't people as they get older just gracefully step aside and let younger people have a chance?
Holly Utz | January 16, 2010 6:43 AM
NBC executives and Leno are pushing O'Brien out, not the other way around. Moving Leno back to 11:35 would push O'Brien to 12:05 and Fallon to 1:05. Leno has said and done nothing to indicate that he cares about anyone other than himself, and last night, Kimmel was justified in telling him off. I, for one, will no longer watch any of this network's programming if this is the way it treats its employees - not just O'Brien, but also his writers, production staff, and family, who moved out to LA only to be handed walking papers almost as soon as they moved in. NBC is a managerial abortion and Leno, for lack of a less offensive definition, is an Indian giver. Neither of them deserve respect or viewers for their insensitivity and greed.
Jerry | January 16, 2010 5:05 AM
I'll never watch the Tonight Show again while Leno is host. (I'm 58 by the way, much closer to the demographic audience the sleaze ball attracts attracts)
What I really would like to know at this point if there's been phone calls between Comcast and Zucker, informing him he should be seeking employment elsewhere before they take over.
Willy | January 16, 2010 4:26 AM
Kimmel has had three moments of genius in just the past week... the initial "pumpkin pie" skit, where he demonstrates exactly what the deal is... and how great it is to not be a part of it; his hour long Leno impression tour de force; and last night's Chris Rock worthy roast of the big chinned host on his own show. The man is on fire. And I wouldn't be surprised if he's hosting The Tonight Show in 12 years.
I am having trouble sympathizing with Conan though. The NBC suits are incompetent for sure, but the guy brought all of this on himself, pushing out Leno with his sense of late night entitlement (is being Tonight Show host really important enough to rock such a big boat?) and showing zero sympathy for the workaholic host when NBC tried one last time to make everyone happy.
O'Brien is getting a raw deal. But his choices played a part in it.

Parise back in Minnesota, still undecided on his future
Zach Parise flew home to Minnesota today after spending the last two days as agent Wade Arnott's office in Mississauga, Ontario, but still has not made a decision on where he will play next season and beyond.
Mike Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune tracked Parise down when arrived at Minneapolis-St.Paul International Airport. Parise was accompanied by his fiancee, Alisha, and said he planed to talk things over with her and his family today.
"There's a lot of things to factor into it and I think that's why we're taking our time with the decision," Parise told Russo. "It's not something we can just make at 1 o'clock on July 1. It takes time to make sure you consider everything and you're doing the right thing."
Although his agent, Wade Arnott, said Sunday it was likely Parise would make a decision on Monday, he said there never has been a timetable.
"We haven't made a timetable or wanted to make a timetable," Parise said. "I don't want to put those types of restrictions on anything. You have to do the right research and it's a life-changing decision."
The Devils are still the mix, as are the Minnesota Wild, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia. There have been reports of contract offers for as many as 13 seasons and total salary surpassing $100 million.
The Devils are said to have made "a very competitive offer."
"There's so much more than the money. That plays a very small factor in it," Parise said. "My agents did a great job. You take the time to consider everything. You consider where you want to be for the next however long and however many years of your life. It's a harder decision than I thought it was going to be."
One detail to add from the previous post. Bryce Salvador's signing bonus is $500,000. That's included in the total of $9.5 million, which makes the cap hit $3,166,667 per season.
With Salvador back on board, the Devils have re-signed eight of the 11 potential unrestricted free agents they had from their playoff roster -- Salvador, Martin Brodeur, Johan Hedberg, Ryan Carter, Steve Bernier, Stephen Gionta, Cam Janssen and Peter Harrold. Left wing Alexei Ponikarovsky left to sign a one-year, $1.8 million contract with Winnipeg. Parise and Petr Sykora remain unsigned.
Sykora said his priority is to remain a Devil.

National Media Slams Stark, Huntington
Jeff Passan over at Yahoo! Sports has picked up on Dejan's article and quotes anonymous sources who call the methods "over the edge" and another who says "they don't know what they're doing." While it's tough to say if these are the same sources Dejan quotes, it certainly not good for the national media to be blasting the front office.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - An Albany service club is honored for raising money to fight child abuse.
The Exchange Club of Albany is one of the top 25 money raising clubs in the country.
The 178 members raised more than $31,000 last year. They use that money to support the club's national project, Child Abuse Prevention.
Exchange Club of Albany President Larry Sculley said "We do keep that money here, and benefit the other organizations in town that help other people, in particular kids."
The Exchange Club of Albany donates money to almost 30 care organizations in Albany.
Two of the club's projects, the Exchange Club Fair and the United Kennel Club Winter Classic are among the top economic events in the city.

News: Memphis Bleek Discusses Beanie Sigel's Jay-Z Rants, "Him & I Know The Truth"
Monday, Dec 14, 2009 3:30PM
Memphis Bleek has spoke up on Beanie Sigel's recent rants against him and Jay-Z by saying he still maintains a certain amount of respect for his former Roc-A-Fella labelmate.
According to Bleek, he still does not understand why Beans would take shots at Hov.
"That's my n*gga," Bleek said in an interview. "I don't feel no ways [different] as I felt from when he signed to us back in '99. I feel the same way today. That's my n*gga. And that's it. He can say what he wanna say. Him and I know the truth. He know what's real, and that's just it. It's all rap sh*t. Some people do things that you can look at and be like, 'Yo, why?,' but at the end of the day you just have to be in they mind frame and figure out - Try to understand what they thinking at that point in time. But like I say, he never stole from me, he never did nothing physically to me, none of my peoples, none of my family. That's still my brother...I just seen him at the Powerhouse show. Like two days before all of that sh*t popped off, we just had a ill conversation at Powerhouse. It was me, him, all his n*ggas there, my n*ggas, we was kickin' it, choppin' it up and nothing ever was said..." (Hip Hop DX)
Beans recently called both Hov and Bleek "fake."
"A lot of Jay-Z fans are my fans too," Beans explained in an interview. "At the end of the days, [Memphis] Bleek's fake too. F*ck outta here. I ain't trying to hear that. Bleek got the same characteristics, man...Lil Wayne professed the 'Greatest Rapper Alive' [title] and was getting the momentum. Lil Wayne can rap, Lil Wayne can spit, in my point of view. I like Lil Wayne, he should have kept moving with it and then Jay come and tell Lil Wayne he gonna pass the paton to him [then] Lil Wayne falls back." (G-Unit Radio)
Memphis Bleek previously displayed his confusion toward Beans' "Average Cat" tell-all record.
"Just waking up my phone going crazy over this segiel sh*t," Bleek wrote Friday (October 30) morning. "I just seen son at power house wasn't nothing now its something..... I'm lost on that.... Guess that's how the rap game work....F*ck bleek 3 haaa that's a good one...And for the rec....I can't diss that's my nigg we gotta get up an chop it up that's all..He know me that's all I could say..." (Memphis Bleek's Twitter)
On "Average Cat," Beans also warns Hov about exposing his habits to his wife, Beyonce.
"This ain't a diss record, this a real record/How it feel to get exposed -- I was the fly on the wall, I witnessed," Beans raps. "I could say sh*t to make B look at you different/And my gangster was never on trial, I was, stood up tall, no snitch/But the rapper Shawn called the police on me/Because I was front row at the Blueprint 3/I just wanted to see him emcee/Reminisce when we were the R-O-C/But he called on the c-o-p's/Not only that, he brought in the f-e-d's/So that's telling me, F-U Sig/So F you too and F Bleek three/Whether I rap or riddle out this motherf*cker -- my name good in every hood." ("Average Cat")

Love the artwork! One of my fav. Deviantartists, so far, must have moar!
If only the world could be more appreciative of your work then you could be the most famous artist on the world... wish it were true
There is an audience for everything and it is understandable as to why some people would find this weird, creepy and in worst cases even offensive but hey they shouldn't be here if they don't like it
Hey, I appreciate it.
Flagged as Spam
You guys could probably make more money by making you TF and TG sequences into comic book style, just a thought
You certainly are one talented and busy artist. But, I am curious...Akashi and Wraith: Why do they always seem to have the luck they do? And how do they come across such 'items' that cause these 'changes'?

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) flyweight Ian McCall was supposed to be the next big thing at 125 pounds, but in three trips to the Octagon, he's failed to register a win.
Not only has he lost to the current division champion, Demetrious Johnson, he's also come up short against what many people believe to be the number two guy in his weight class, Joseph Benavidez.
That means he's on the long road back to a title shot and hasn't even left his driveway.
"Uncle Creepy" blames his recent lack of focus on his turbulent year. After getting arrested by "stupid cops" last summer (details here), McCall suffered through "manorexia" during a painful split from his wife (more on that here).
But he's in a much better place now, according to his conversation with Knockout Radio (via MMA Weekly):
"I'm in a much better place. You know, I've kind of blown my UFC career so far, but now it's time to earn what's rightfully mine. I've always been physically ready. Every fight, I've always been in shape. I've always been there. Just for me it's a mental thing because I can be a head case and that really has been what's gotten me down in the past, but I took personal steps in my personal life, new relationships, new whatever it may be to just change for the better. I really am just happier and in a much better place than I can really ever remember, which is nice. I haven't earned (expletive). [Prelims is] probably where I deserve to be. Some people can look at it as a slap in the face not being on the main card, but who cares who I've fought and where I 've been on previous cards? There are some big names that deserve to be there and I'm just ready to earn it. That's my outlook on everything. I like earning things. I like being the good dog that gets petted. I want to earn this title shot and my first step to do that is by knocking this guy out. I was dropping the ball. I wasn't focused. I had flashes of brilliance, but that's all done now and I'm excited to move forward and prove myself. I was brought in as No. 1. I was supposed to be something special and I haven't really shown that yet. I have to go out there and just do work. I've got to stop having so much fun getting punched in the face and I've got to punch people back."
The proof is in the pudding.
McCall (11-4-1) has a chance to turn around his professional life, as well, when he takes on longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Iliarde Santos at the upcoming UFC 163: "Aldo vs. Korean Zombie" pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for Aug. 3, 2013 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Is he truly "something special" as originally billed? We'll find out in less than two weeks.

Since we lament our local teams utter lack of promotion of what has become a great product, I thought we might take some solace in the fact that things could actually be worse. We could be cheering for the Blackhawks whose captain has been depicted in a giant mural (note the painter for scale) wherein he stares confidently toward the horizon with his sharp eyes peering from above what looks decidedly like a snout.
To add actual damage to mere insult they have decimated the hawks cup hopes by placing the trophy itself boldly and prematurely in the background. Ouch!
While I find it odd to be saying this, we need to thank KSE for at least not doing this:

1/3 cup finely diced fire-roasted red peppers
1 finely diced fire-roasted jalapeño
3/4 cup finely diced fire-roasted tomato
1 3/4 cups tomato juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
For shrimp ceviche and fire-roasted vegetables:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Place shrimp on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out in a single layer. Roast 5 to 6 minutes until shrimp are cooked through. Don't overcook. Remove from oven and cool.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Combine onion, red peppers, jalapeño, tomato, tomato juice, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp and marinate at least 2 hours, but not more than 6 hours.
Corn Salad
2 ears of corn
1 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro, for garnish
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Remove husks and silk from corn. Roast ears on a warm grill until golden brown, or, alternately, roast in oven at 400°F about 15 minutes.

Lexington, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - A matchup of the last two national champions takes place on Saturday afternoon, as the sixth-ranked Louisville Cardinals pay a visit to the 18th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats.
Louisville has been nearly perfect this season, claiming victory in 11 of its first 12 games, and the team is currently in the midst of a six-game win streak. The Cardinals, who blasted FIU in their last outing (85-56), are playing their final non-league game today, as they will embark on their first season as a member of the American Athletic Conference with a New Year's Eve clash at UCF.
Kentucky began the season as the No. 1 team in the land, but has already lost three times, the most recent of which occurring in an 82-77 decision at North Carolina on Dec. 14. The Wildcats' other two setbacks have come against top- tier programs in Michigan State and Baylor, and they are coming off a 93-80 win over Belmont last Saturday. UK is also playing its final non-conference game as it is set to begin SEC action at home versus Mississippi State on Jan. 8.
Kentucky has doubled up Louisville in the all-time series, 30-15, but the Cardinals won last year's tilt at home, 80-77.
Louisville is simultaneously one of the nation's top offensive and defensive teams, averaging 86.2 ppg while permitting just 60.2 ppg -- both figures ranking it in the top-12. The Cardinals are shooting 47.6 percent from the field, which includes a 35.9 percent showing from 3-point range, while their opponents are limited to 39.3 percent field goal efficiency, and they also own significant margins in both rebounding (+7.3) and turnovers (+9.4). Russ Smith paces four double-digit scorers with his 16.8 ppg, and he hands out 5.0 apg as well. Montrezl Harrell (12.5 ppg, 8.3 rpg), Chris Jones (13.5 ppg, 23 steals) and Wayne Blackshear (10.3 ppg, 3.0 rpg) have all been solid performers for coach Rick Pitino's club, which routed FIU last weekend thanks to a .481 shooting percentage, which included 13 treys. The Cards took full advantage of 20 turnovers, while their reserves outscored FIU's, 30-5. Smith led the way with 18 points, Blackshear had 13 and Harrell 10.
Kentucky is once again reliant on a slew of youngsters, and Julius Randle is not only one of the top freshmen in the country, but one of the best players regardless of age as he averages 18.2 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. However, he needs to take better care of the basketball (40 turnovers). UK routinely hammers the opposition on the glass (+12.8 rebounding differential), and it is hitting 48.2 percent of its field goal attempts, but only 31.7 percent from beyond the arc. Defensively, the 'Cats are yielding 66.3 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .381 overall and .318 from 3-point land. When you factor in their robust scoring average (81.5 ppg) you get a +15.2 scoring margin, most of that built off lopsided wins over inferior competition. Aaron Harrison (15.1 ppg, 3.3 rpg), James Young (13.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg) and Andrew Harrison (10.6 ppg, 3.5 apg) round out the double-digit scorers for coach John Calipari's club, which got a monster game from Randle (29 points, 10 boards) in the recent win over Belmont. Aaron Harrison scored 23 points and dished out seven helpers, while Willie Cauley-Stein finished with 16 points and seven caroms. Cauley-Stein averages 9.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, and he has 50 blocks.

Jessie J tops BBC Sound of 2011 list
Pop singer and songwriter Jessie J has come top of the BBC Sound of 2011 list, which showcases the best rising music stars for the coming year.
Jessie J, real name Jessica Cornish, from Romford, Essex, has been described as a British answer to Rihanna or Pink.
Discover the top five acts:
- Jessie J - watch session & interview
- James Blake - watch session & interview
- The Vaccines - watch session & interview
- Jamie Woon - watch session & interview

The Sound of 2011 list was compiled using tips from 160 key music critics, broadcasters and bloggers.
Now in its ninth year, previous winners include Ellie Goulding, Little Boots, Adele, Mika and Corinne Bailey Rae.
Jessie J has already enjoyed success as a songwriter, co-writing Miley Cyrus' hit Party in the USA.
The 22-year-old launched her own solo career at the end of 2010, making it into the UK top 30 with her debut single Do It Like A Dude.
Signed to Island Records in the UK - home to Amy Winehouse, U2 and Florence and the Machine - her music is a mix of attitude-filled urban pop and big soulful ballads.
She starred on the West End stage at the age of 11 and spent a year at the Brit School for performing arts, in the same year as fellow singers Adele, Katy B and Rox.
Jessie J said she was "overwhelmed" at coming top of the Sound of 2011 list.

The Brit Awards have also given the singer the Critics' Choice accolade, which she will accept at the ceremony at the O2 arena in London in February.
"The expectation of me at the moment is so high, but I thrive on knowing people have that expectation," she said. "It's a challenge."
Austin Daboh, music manager at BBC 1Xtra - the first radio station to play Jessie's music - said: "From the minute I saw a homemade video of Jessie singing her head off, I knew she was a talent.
"I think she combines a unique charisma with great songwriting and to top it off she has an incredible voice."
Lana Webb, head of music at Remedy Productions, who make shows for Channel 4 and MTV, said: "Jessie J has already proven her songwriting credentials.
"With her powerful voice, commanding stage presence and razor sharp style, Jessie J will cut across the musical landscape, seizing the spotlight for herself in 2011."
"Start Quote

I'm glad I went through the tough times and was angry - it's made me a thicker skinned artist"
The Sound of 2011 top five also includes James Blake and Jamie Woon, at numbers two and four respectively, both cutting-edge producer-vocalists who combine dubstep and soul.
At number three, rock band The Vaccines have been likened to The Ramones and The Jesus & Mary Chain, while big-voiced chanteuse Clare Maguire is at five.
The list was compiled using tips from more than 160 influential UK-based tastemakers, who each named their favourite three new acts.
The participants ranged from music magazine editors and newspaper critics to respected bloggers, DJs and radio and TV producers.
The new artists were not eligible if they had already had a UK top 20 single or album, or were already famous for any reason, such as appearing on a TV talent show or being a member of a hit band going solo.
A longlist of the top 15 artists was published in December, and the top five have been revealed this week.
Last year, Ellie Goulding came top of the Sound of 2010 list, and was joined in the top five by Marina and the Diamonds, Delphic, Hurts and The Drums.
Artists in the top five in previous years have included Florence and the Machine and La Roux (Sound of 2009), Adele and Duffy (Sound of 2008), Mika and Klaxons (Sound of 2007), Bloc Party and Kaiser Chiefs (Sound of 2005), Keane and Franz Ferdinand (Sound of 2004) and 50 Cent and Dizzee Rascal (Sound of 2003).

Neither side was wrong to voice their beliefs… Everyone's acting like "if you write something on your sign that the 'general public' in America would dislike, you deserve endless hateful commentary and berating. Along with slandering of your character and mocking of your religious beliefs. Otherwise, hearts and butterflies forever, bff!". AnimalsItell you!
