NBA player supports Dayton's NCAA First Four efforts
Send this to a friend
An NBA player is lending his support to the NCAA First Four games at UD Arena and the Local Organizing Committee, offering a high-profile boost to the effort to provide free tickets to members of the U.S. Air Force stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Kent Bazemore, guard for the NBA's Golden State Warriors, has made "a significant financial contribution" toward the Hoopla Ticket Program to buy tickets that will be distributed to airmen and local students. The dollar amount of the contribution was not released.
"When I heard about the Hoopla Ticket Program I knew it was something I wanted to be part of," Bazemore said. "Supporting the Hoopla Ticket Program is a small gesture of my appreciation for our military's courageous service to our country."
Bazemore, who is from North Carolina, played college basketball at Old Dominion University, which played the UD Flyers in Dayton during his junior season in 2009.
Since 2012, Big Hoopla Sponsors and Community MVPs have donated more than 5,000 tickets to the NCAA First Four to Airmen from Wright-Patt.
"The tournament provides an opportunity for the Dayton Region to showcase itself as America's top military community," said JP Nauseef, Chairman of the Local Organizing Committee. "We are excited to partner with Kent and are thrilled with his commitment to the military heroes serving at Wright Patt."
On top of supporting Wrigh-Patt Airmen, the Hoopla Ticket Program provides tickets to students throughout the Dayton Region.
"Playing in the NCAA Tournament was a dream growing up, a dream just like playing in the NBA," Bazemore said in an e-mail statement. "I hope providing these tickets to students gives them a little extra motivation to keep working hard to achieve their dreams."

Disney Wonder Review
About This Ship
More Ships
- Disney Dream
- Disney Fantasy
- Disney Magic
- Disney Wonder
Cruise Ship Overview
Disney Cruise Line's second ship Disney Wonder was introduced in 1999 in the wake of her successful sister ship Disney Magic. Distinguished by its sophisticated design, it was constructed with families in mind, combining a sleek ocean liner style with splashes of fun. Disney Wonder sails a series of Alaska cruises through the summer from Vancouver, British Columbia, and then heads to Galveston for a season of Caribbean itineraries.
Reminiscent of classic ocean liners, Disney vessels have two funnels (the forward one is nonfunctional) and high-tech interiors behind their art deco and art nouveau styling. Whimsical design accents cleverly incorporate images of Mickey Mouse and his friends without overpowering the warm and elegant decor. Artwork showcases the creativity of Disney artists and animators. The atmosphere is never stuffy.
More than 15,000 square feet—nearly an entire deck—are devoted to children's activity centers, outdoor activity areas, and swimming pools. Theaters cater to family entertainment with large-scale production shows, movies, dances, lively game shows, and even 3-D movies.
Adults-only hideaways include an avenue of theme bars and lounges tucked into the area just forward of the lobby atrium; the Promenade Lounge, near the aft elevator lobby; and Cove Café, a quiet spot adjacent to the adult pool to relax with coffee or a cocktail, surf the Internet, or read.

Facebook Inc. (
reported impressive fourth-quarter results, which reflected its
growing dominance in the mobile advertising market. Mobile ad
revenues were $1.25 billion, which comprised 53.0% of ad
revenues, up from 49.0% in the previous quarter. Shares surged
12.1% ($6.47) in after-hours trading.
Revenues (excluding the foreign exchange effect) surged 63.2%
from the year-ago quarter to $2.59 billion, which comfortably
beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The strong revenue performance
was aided by robust advertising revenues that jumped 76.5% from
the year-ago quarter.
Advertising revenues were driven by increasing mobile engagement,
higher number of marketers, continuing investment in new products
and robust performance of its newsfeed ads. New products and
initiatives such as Internet.org, graph search, Instagram video,
and Messenger 3.0 helped Facebook achieve significant traction
over the last 12 months.
Facebook messenger was among the top most-downloaded applications
iOS and
Android in Dec 2013. Messenger users jumped 70.0% in the fourth
quarter. The company launched Instagram for
Windows-based smartphones.
During the quarter, Facebook launched Instagram Direct, which
allows users to send private photos and video messages. The
company also reported that Facebook Groups are now being used by
approximately 500 million people every month.
Mobile-only Monthly Active Users (MAU) was 296 million at the end
of the fourth quarter compared with 157 million in the year-ago
quarter and 254 million in the previous quarter. In fiscal 2013,
daily users on mobile outnumbered desktop by approximately 200
As of Dec 31, 2013, Facebook's MAU improved 16.0% year over year
to 1.23 billion. Mobile MAUs surged 39.0% year over year to 945
million. Daily Active Users (DAU) increased 22.0% year over year
to 757 million.
Ad impressions declined 8.0% on a year-over-year basis, primarily
due to lower ad volumes on mobile devices. However, average price
per ad soared 92.0% from the year-ago quarter driven by favorable
mix shift toward high-priced newsfeed ads. Average revenue per
user (ARPU) increased 39.0% year over year to $2.14.
Payments and other fees decreased 6.0% year over year to $241.0
million in the fourth quarter, as the company had recognized four
months of revenues in the year-ago quarter. Payments revenues
from games grew approximately 8% on a year-over-year basis.
Total cost and expenses as percentage of revenues plunged to
56.2% from 67.0% reported in the year-ago quarter. Cost of
revenues, research & development, marketing & sales and
general & administrative expenses decreased 610 bps, 290 bps,
90 bps and 90 bps, respectively.
The lower-than-expected increase in operating expenses drove
operating margin, which surged from 33.0% in the year-ago quarter
to 43.8% in the fourth quarter. Net income margin improved to
20.1% compared with 13.4% reported in the year-ago quarter.
Facebook reported earnings (including stock-based compensation
and payroll tax expense related to it) of 20 cents per share,
which improved considerably from 9 cents in the year-ago quarter,
but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny.
Balance Sheet & Cash Flow
Facebook exited the quarter with cash & cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $11.45 billion compared with $9.26
billion in the previous quarter.
Facebook generated $1.23 billion of cash flow from operating
activities compared with $955.0 million in the previous quarter.
Free cash flow was $748.0 million compared with $666.0 million in
the previous quarter.
Facebook expects to carry on with its investments for improving
the quality, engagement and value of its ads and products, which
will further boost advertisers' demand over the long term. The
company expects to continue increase its technical headcount in
Total expenses (including cost of revenues but excluding
stock-based compensation) are expected to increase approximately
40.0% to 45.0% for 2014. Capital expenditure is likely to be in
the range of $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion for 2014.
Our Take
We believe Facebook's solid fourth-quarter results will put the
teenage fatigue issue on the backburner for some time. The
company has gained significant traction in its mobile ad business
within a very short span of time. This combined with the massive
user base and its ability to track personal details over time
makes it a formidable force in the online ad market.
We believe that Instagram's growing popularity and the new
initiatives such as Internet.org will continue to boost
Facebook's user base, going forward. We expect the company's
international revenue per user to increase at a faster rate,
going forward.
Moreover, the new products will help the company to face
intensifying competition from the likes of Whatsapp, Snapchat,
Tumblr and Pinterest, going forward.
Currently, Facebook has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The Cardinals placed third baseman Scott Rolen on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a sprained left shoulder. He could miss up to six weeks.
Rolen's shoulder was still too sore to undergo complete medical testing, but Dr. George Paletta, the team physician, indicated the third baseman could be sidelined anywhere from two to six weeks. Paletta said the results of an MRI exam Thursday showed no significant structural damage, and he was hopeful Rolen would be able to take a second exam Friday that would detect any damage to the labrum.
Confident Tigers seek Big 12 title
Missouri coach Ty Singleton was verbose after the No. 15 Tigers' regular season-ending 1-0 win against Nebraska on Sunday.
He praised senior Erin Kalka's final home start, a three-hit shutout in which she struck out 10 Cornhuskers.
Looking to Bounce Back
"Bear down, Chicago Bears."
The famous first line of the Chicago Bears fight song is played after each Bears touchdown at Soldier Field. But in 2004, with the Bears finishing last in the NFL in offensive touchdowns with 19, the song was rarely heard.
Suppan, Walker boost Cardinals
ST. LOUIS — Larry Walker had three of St. Louis' season-high 19 hits and drove in three runs, backing a strong seven-inning effort by Jeff Suppan in the Cardinals' 9-3 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.
David Eckstein had four hits and an RBI to extend his hitting streak to 12 games for St. Louis, which has won seven of eight at home against the Dodgers counting the playoffs. Of the Cardinals' 19 hits, only three were for extra bases.
Kansas City scavenger in hunt for new skipper
KANSAS CITY — Hiring a new manager might not be as simple as finding the man the Kansas City Royals want. It will have to be someone who wants the Royals.
The small-market Royals have fallen upon hard times. Deep problems may prove sobering to any would-be successor to Tony Pena, who resigned Tuesday night with the worst record (8-25) and second-lowest team payroll ($36.9 million) in the major leagues.
Kansas City looks to NASCAR's future
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Other cities might have more stock car racing history, bigger international profiles, brighter star power.
But backers of a bid to win the NASCAR Hall of Fame for Kansas City, Kan., where the relatively new Kansas Speedway is entering its fifth season of operation, said Wednesday they represent the sport's future and NASCAR's best chance to reach beyond its traditional fan base in the southeastern United States.
Extra Points: Six Tigers named to All Big 12 team
Six Missouri softball players were named to the All-Big 12 Conference Team and four earned Academic All-Big 12 honors.
Senior shortstop Heather Kunkel and junior outfielder Janessa Roening were first-team selections. Sophomore outfielder Leanne Bowers, sophomore catcher Kathy Masterson, redshirt freshman outfielder Micaela Minner and freshman first baseman Amanda Renth made the second team. Bowers, Kunkel and Masterson first team Academic All-Big 12 and sophomore pitcher Erica Peterson was on the second team.
Once a Kewpie, always a Bruin
Rock Bridge baseball coach Terry Whitney said one of his favorite high school baseball memories actually came against Hickman, a team he used to coach.
"It's kind of ironic, but my last game senior year, I led off against Hickman with a home run," Whitney said, who was an outfielder for the Bruins. "I only hit one in my high school career, and it was against Hickman."
Royals continue slide
TORONTO — Roy Halladay made quick work of the worst team in baseball.
Halladay pitched his AL-leading third complete game of the season, and Toronto beat the struggling Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Tuesday night in game that took 1 hour, 44 minutes — the Blue Jays' shortest of the season.
Dodgers reverse hex in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS — Hee-Seop Choi hit a go-ahead, three-run home run after he withstood a collision that forced Scott Rolen to leave the game with a sprained left shoulder in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 9-8 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
Jeff Kent also hit a home run, and Cesar Izturis had two hits and two RBIs, helping the Dodgers end a six-game losing streak at Busch Stadium, counting the first round of the postseason last year.
No. 1 Kewpies get huge road victory
One day after a loss to Smith-Cotton — a team hovering around the .500 mark — the top-ranked Hickman baseball team bounced back in a big way Tuesday.
The Kewpies beat Wentzville Holt 7-3 at T.R. Hughes Ballpark in O'Fallon in a battle of the top two Class 4 teams in Missouri.
Cougars lose control of destiny
The Columbia College softball team was eliminated from the NAIA Region V Tournament Tuesday in Springfield when the Cougars fell 2-1 to Evangel University.
The Cougars (47-17) aren't necessarily finished for the season. Coach Wendy Spratt said she thinks the team has about an 85 percent chance of earning an at-large bid to the NAIA National Tournament. She said the team will have a clearer picture of its chances at a bid when updated national rankings are released today.
Extra Points: Hickman doubles shine
The Hickman boys' tennis team made a successful trip to Hannibal on Tuesday, handing the Pirates a 6-3 loss in a tightly contested dual.
Five of the nine matches went to tiebreakers, with Hannibal winning all three singles tiebreakers. Hickman (4-10) won the two doubles tiebreakers to clinch the victory.
Cougars alive in regional
The Columbia College softball team lost its first game of the NAIA Region V Tournament on Monday, but won its next two to stay alive in the chase for a title and a berth in the national tournament.
The Cougars managed two hits in a 3-0 loss to McKendree in the opener. Monica Mueller suffered the loss allowing seven hits.
Toronto Towers over K.C.
TORONTO — Josh Towers won his third straight start by pitching eight strong innings, and the Toronto Blue Jays ended a four-game losing streak with a 6-1 victory against the struggling Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
Russ Adams hit a two-run triple for the Blue Jays, swept in three of their previous four home series.
Clear shot
The Hickman girls' soccer team is on a streak it hopes to ride all the way to the district finals.
After beating Rock Bridge and Jefferson City in the past two games, the Kewpies extended their winning streak to three, routing Smith-Cotton 9-0 on Monday at Cosmopolitan Park.

And all three are necessary.
We all love to hate marketing. But the fact is that people make most decisions subconsciously. And not just buying decisions. Some say emotionally, but there's a whole host of other sub-concious factors influencing our decisions, such as habit and hunger. Marketing exists not because of scammers and liars trying to outdo each other, but because informing people about products by way of facts and figures such as feature lists doesn't work - because that's not how people make decisions most of the time.
For sure there are liars out there, such as the purveyors of skin creams. But most marketing is about invoking subconcious feelings about a product, not misleading about what the product is or does.
Thank you for the insightful point of view. Sorry you to see you got modded out for it.

Actually, I think the article is talking about something entirely different than reflexes or muscle memory. I've been experimenting with this "turn off your mind" thing the past few days, and I've been finding I can do some things I normally can't. For example, I can't walk a tight rope to save my life, but I tried clearing my mind of all thought, not even thinking about the task at hand, and just started walking... Made it half way down before I became aware again and fell on my ass. I can actually feel it happen when I do it right... It's like my body is doing the thinking.
Sorry to double post this, you just seem like you might have some experience so I wanted to get your take on it. When should I use my conscious mind vs "going with the flow" (for lack of a better term)?

You don't write them every time, you type a letter or two, smash enter to pick the autocomplete suggestion (the method you want is almost always the first or second option) and then use tab to jump to the next parameter value to enter.
In this case, increased verbosity means less rote memorisation and more grokking of the general gist of API patterns so you really can focus more on solving the problem at hand rather than bashing out code.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I hated everyone in this book. I... actually can't think of anything more to say than that. There is no plot. There is absolutely nothing of value here. Given the nature of the beast, it could have been saved by characterisation but... nope. Everyone is horrible in it, even, eventually, Emma, who was the most bearable of the lot.
Save yourself the trouble of reading it, really. It is, in no way, worth it.
Although normally I wouldn't do this, I saw the movie before I read the book. I LOVED the movie, so I was super excited to finally read the book. What I didn't expect was to find it difficult to get past the initial first chapters. As a reader, although I knew what was going to happen (that's the only thing that kept me going at the beginning) I was not invested in the main characters, Emma and Dexter. It was not until the third or fourth chapter that thing's started to really pick up. From there on out it was a wonderful book. It was funny and sad and frustrating and heartbreaking, and you were happy to ride that emotional roller coaster with Emma and Dexter. I'm happy to say that I love the book as much as I do the movie. The author, David Nicholls, really knows the complexities of going from friends to lover, and back to friends again. It's not a relationship that is easy to understand or to explain, but David Nicholls got it right!! Even though the beginning was a bit slow, I can honestly say that I truly loved this book!
This is a sweet, sometimes bittersweet at times, book. I like that this book is realistic about life and love at times. Dexter and Emma aren't quite in love at first sight, though they both have a soft spot for the other. Over fifteen years, they have room to grow. They do different things, take wildly different career paths, and date other people. It's not an instant love story, and I like that. Getting to see the two every day on different years is an unique way to experience an incredibly realistic love story.
My major disappointment with this book is the characterization. Both Em and Dex are three-dimensional characters, but they seem incredibly stereotypical to me. Emma is the sensible, practical, hardworking one who has to work for everything in her life. She takes whatever job she can while trying to reach her dream as a writer. Dexter is the rich boy who lives up the after college life for awhile before things force him to take a hard look at his life. At times, Emma and Dexter seem like every lead from a romantic comedy set in the past decade. This frustrated me because it's obvious from the book that Nicholls is a great writer who was capable of more diverse characterization.
Other than that, I found this book quite enjoyable. It wasn't quite a page-turner or a book I'll fill the need to revisit often, but I think it's a worthy read for a sunny Saturday afternoon.
As a setup, it's not exactly mindboggling. We follow Emma and Dexter on a particular day. From the first almost one night stand on the graduation night (him a slick public school boy way too into himself, she an insecure country girl with a political conscience) and then over the years, always on july 15th: the years when he's travelling and she's making tacos, the sliding apart when Dexter's media career makes him more and more of an asshole, Emma's feeling of being stuck, the sorrows that bring them back together.
The result could easily have been mundane, or just too light. But Nicholls, to my surprise, manages to capture a bittersweet sense of life and friendship and love as being difficult, fleeting and beautiful, all at once. We are, thankfully, far from Harry and Sally. I was actually a bit surprised at how much I could relate to a lot of this book, and how it often moved me. Nicholls has a good eye for the situations that can stand as significant symbols of a place in life. Sure, it's witty too, and full of banter, but a long way away from the lad lit I was expecting. The Swedish audio version is beautifully handled by anders Ekborg, making this a joy to listen to.
Cripes, I can't believe I'm saying I'm saying this but jeez I'm disappointed. I would go so far to say that *whispers so the other book worms can't hear her* I think I may have preferred the movie...
There I've said it - I've betrayed book lovers everywhere by uttering those dreadful words.
I couldn't help, I fell in to the age old trap of watching the movie first and then reading the book. Even so, I think I would have still preferred the movie if I'd done it the other way around!
Dex was an awful character, end of. I know it was kind of the point that he was supposed to be this unhinged and hideous person(obviously on the inside, because clearly he was one of those people who sees themselves as a 10/10), but I really couldn't like him. Not even when he started to mellow and see the error of his ways. Nope. He was just this unlikable object that irritated me everytime it spoke. Or moved. Or breathed.
I liked Emma slightly more than Dex, but only marginally. She was whiny and boring. Again, yes I know that was probably the point, but even so, couldn't you have done a better job that Emma Morley, Nicholls? Honestly, I skimmed some of her sections because it was just moan, moan, whine, moan some more, oh I love Dex, ugh, I hate my life. Literally, every Emma chapter was like that, again and again. Yet, with every chapter, the character just kept doing the same thing over and over again. She was frustrating to say the least.
The thing I actually loved about this book was the humour. The jokes and lines at the beginning of the book were brilliant - definitely better than the movie's crap humour and crap accents. I also loved the concept of the book - the same date but a different year, the same people but different situations/circumstances. But alas, these two traits alone were not enough for me to award a better rating than a two "it was alright" star. I think what actually killed the book for me was the big wow moment at the end of book. I don't want to ruin it for any poor people who still wish to read this disastrous book, but for those who have, it was the moment when Emma you know, with the bike... (Oh dear, that sounds dodgy).
Seriously, if that end paragraph was not a prime example of an anti-climax and crap writing than I honestly don't know what is.
"Just kidding' was exactly what people wrote when they meant every word."
Må bra-läsning i högsta ligan
However widely "One Day" is imitated, it will be hard to match Mr. Nicholls's easy blend of bumbling insecurities (Emma's), overweening showbiz arrogance (Dexter's, when he becomes a television star), slow but sure pacing, humorous though seldom outright funny dialogue and authentically troubling coming-of-age issues.
Hun vil forandre verden, han vil feie over flest mulig «En dag» anbefales på det varmeste. Dette er britisk vidd på sitt aller beste, som Nina Aspen imponerende nok har klart å presse inn i vårt mer karrige norske språk. Den «Notting Hill»-aktige kjærlighetskomedien er også en vakker og vemodig fortelling med en overraskende avslutning. Jeg tipper den må justeres litt for det sentimentale amerikanske filmpublikum når boka nå skal filmatiseres.
Boken är slut men svider än
I första kapitlet blickar en ung Emma Morley framåt. Resan dit, till den stora fyran och nollan, blir lång och komplicerad för henne och Dexter Mayhew.
Det är en av de bästa böckerna jag har läst.
"Love and be loved," [Emma] had told herself, "if you ever get the chance." It's something you may want to find out this summer at poolside. And if you do, you may want to take care where you lay this book down. You may not be the only one who wants in on the answers.

Distributed Power Allocation for Sink-Centric Clusters in Multiple Sink Wireless Sensor Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Due to the battery resource constraints, saving energy is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks, particularly in large sensor networks. One possible solution is to deploy multiple sink nodes simultaneously. Another possible solution is to employ an adaptive clustering hierarchy routing scheme. In this paper, the authors propose a multiple sink cluster wireless sensor networks scheme which combines the two solutions, and propose an efficient transmission power control scheme for a sink-centric cluster routing protocol in multiple sink wireless sensor networks, denoted as MSCWSNs-PC. It is a distributed, scalable, self-organizing, adaptive system, and the sensor nodes do not require knowledge of the global network and their location.

Recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) 2011 were unanimous in saying a steady and consistent funding stream helps maintain the country's brain power and world class R&D infrastructure. It also begins a process that can lead to successful commercialization of ideas and discoveries.
Science and R&D
Are We a Nation of Homer Hickmans or Homer Simpsons?
The 54th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union is a good time to take stock of how the country is reacting to the innovation challenges we face today. Beginning almost immediate in the fall of 1957 and continuing through the 1960s, the U.S. made significant investments in science, education, R&D and aerospace and it paid off in the form of new jobs, even new industries. By contrast, when President Obama tried to rally us to make similar investments by declaring a "Sputnik moment" in 2011, we have seen little meaningful change in policy. If anything, the public mood seems to cut public investments. In this blogpost, Steve Norton wonders if part of the problem is a fatigue and defeatism that seems to have infected the national spirit. He says we can and should snap out of it and points to some proposals ITIF has made to step up our competiveness and get us back on the path to innovation-based leadership.
