Book Every Home PC User Should Have
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 01-01-2006 - 3:02pm
I wanted to recommend an excellent book that every home PC user should have on their shelves. It's called 'Leo Laporte's PC Help Desk." I accidentally came across it because my father bought a copy for me for my birthday thinking it would be a good business reference book for me. The book didn't have any new information for ME, but as I looked through it I realized that it was extremely well written and easy to read with very pertinent information. This book is a must have for any PC user. It will help you diagnose problems easily so you won't have to pay someone like me to come out and fix it for you. I highly recommend this book. You won't be disappointed and it is worth the cost, even if you pay full price. It's a $30 book, but Amazon is selling it for $18-something. Here's the link if you want to check it out:
I just thought I'd pass this information on because it's very rare I come across something like this that is appropriate for everyone. It takes a lot to impress me, and this book managed to do it! ;)

This still makes me angry when I think about it.
There was a channel on tv.....called (at first) ZDNET later became TechTV. Leo Laporte had 2 shows on there one was Call for Help that I started watching before I ever bought a computer and it made me a little more comfortable using it the first time. That show was for beginners and then he had one later in the day called The ScreenSavers, it was for the more advanced pc user. When it was ZDNET it was wonderfu.
When it went to TechTv they started catering more to the younger people. Like so many others.
Then the last straw was when they went to G4 now we can get Call for help from Canada with Leo but you can't let little kids even watch the commercials there.......let along some of the shows they are (for me ) past raunchy. And besides there is a girl on Call for Help that has this whiny voice it drives me nuts......
It is such a shame too because there is no other show on that had as much information and so easy to understand as CFH. I try and catch it once in a while but it is on here at 8am channel 354 on my Directv Dish. But like I said you can't let little ones watch........
In my opinion I wouldn't let my teenagers watch that channel at night either.......
But I do love Leo. I got through to the show and talked to him in 1999 when they were ZDNET and broadcasting from California. They sent me his autographed photo....(I have hanging on my message board by my desk....lol....like a kid.....lol
Yes he is good..

Congress: House Republicans succeeded in maintaining their solid majority after two years of opposing President Obama's big-government initiatives. The people kept them in power Tuesday to do more of the same.
The media establishment was making a lot on Wednesday of House Speaker John Boehner's supposed willingness "to accept new tax revenue to reduce the nation's budget deficit," in the words of Bloomberg News.
In fact, Boehner made it clear the new revenue shouldn't "come from government taking a larger share of what the American people earn through higher tax rates" but rather "as the byproduct of a growing economy, energized by a simpler, cleaner, fairer tax code, with fewer loopholes, and lower rates for all."
Boehner is thinking very big, envisioning President Obama joining hands with Republicans to reform the tax code and fix entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which are on track to bankruptcy — and, hopefully, to reverse our nation's long-term fiscal imbalance. It would be a historic legacy for a president of either party.
Another Ohio congressman, Jim Jordan, the chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, told Investor's Business Daily what Boehner is proposing is "just good, smart economic policy. It's John Kennedy. It's Ronald Reagan-Tip O'Neill. It's not raising the tax burden on families and business owners."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., gave a fairly clear idea of what the House GOP's tack would be in dealing with Obama.
The best description might be encouraging the president to rise to the occasion presented to him by his slim re-election.
"Small business owners want results, in the name of substantive tax reform and a smarter regulatory environment," Cantor said in a statement Wednesday. "Families want results, in the name of a less intrusive government, better schools and more take-home pay."
At the same time, "Higher tax rates won't create jobs and they won't solve our spending crisis," Cantor said. "Ignoring the problems of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid won't help people get better health care or prepare for a secure retirement."
Calling on all in power in Washington to "rise above the dysfunction," Cantor said that "economic growth, entitlement reform and solving our spending crisis are our top priorities, and I look forward to working with President Obama to meet these challenges."
But what if Obama refuses to work with House Republicans on these and other issues?
What if he continues his hard-left stance, looking to demonize the GOP majority in the House in hopes of gaining back Democratic control in 2014, then running wild with full political control of Washington for the final two years of the Obama presidency?

Located along the banks of the Colorado River, a few yards east of a rafting company's take-out spot in Two Rivers Park, this tiny water pocket is fed by the hot spring's pool itself. The water is hotter than 90 degrees, and its amphitheater of stone can fit five to six people. If it gets too hot, just step over the tiny stone wall for a cold plunge into the Colorado River that hovers between 40-50 degrees. This is also a popular stop with the rafting companies.

Welcome to Beverley School
Beverley School is an all age specialist school for pupils who have an autistic spectrum condition. All pupils follow the National Curriculum and most will achieve external accreditation, including GCSE where possible, by the time they leave us. We take some pupils from our nursery which is based at Viewley Hill Primary School and some pupils generally join us at other points throughout the key stages if there is a vacancy. Pupils also have the option to stay with us after they are 16 if it is felt to be appropriate and most of our pupils do follow that option.
I believe that our greatest resource is our dedicated team of staff who endeavour to provide the very best in education as well as managing the social and emotional needs of pupils. Our staff are all trained to meet the needs of children and young adults who have autism and work in close partnership with parents, governors and the local community to provide an excellent educational experience for all.

I am getting a Barley Crusher for Xmas... my wife just does not know it yet! Then I am getting #55 of pilsner and #55 of wheat malt and making some serious Heffe!
The Crankandstein is the only way to go for me. Keep in mind i have never used the BC, but there is not need when right out of the box i get 75 to 80% Eff. with zero extra effort on my part. Sure I had to build a hopper but i enjoy little tinkering projects, plus i could make the hopper as large as i wanted too.

Hey BierMuncher...Did you adjust your mill, or is that a crush from the factory setting?
I bought a CrankandStein several years ago. I did quite a bit of research on mills in general. I ended up going with a 3 roller mill that cost about $150 and it is fully adjustable. That is one main thing that I was looking for in a mill. This mill is pretty fast (it can go through about 10# in a couple of minutes) with an excellent crush. True, you do have to have a hopper. I went to Fleet Farm (a store that carries just about everything) and bought a metal funnel that holds 10# of grain for about $10. It is the type used for pouring diesel in tractors and such. I used to use a Corona and it took forever to hand-crank to crush the grain. Now I hook up my drill and I'm off and running. Also, they offer a lifetime re-knurling of the rollers.
Just saw this if someone is still looking.Crankandstien on eBay
my Barley Crusher and Oatmeal stout grains should be coming tomorrow (friday).

The Federal Reserve could ease up on its quantitative-easing program in March. That disclosure last Wednesday from the minutes of the Fed's January policy meeting sent gold prices below $1,600 an ounce for the first time since last summer. The metal is seen as a hedge against the inflation that could result from increased liquidity in the financial system. Gold was up 7% in 2012, its 12th consecutive annual gain, but the smallest advance since 2008 (see "Streetwise: What a Gold Mine!," Dec. 24, 2012).
Still, investors struck dividend gold Wednesday with Newmont Mining NEM -5.785970302099335% Newmont Mining Corp.

Newmont enriched its quarterly common payout 21%, to 42.5 cents a share from 35 cents, for a 4.2% yield. The new dividend is worth an additional $37 million to stockholders this quarter. However, with the Denver company's gold-price-linked dividend guideline, the new disbursement was based on the average London afternoon fix of $1,718 per ounce for 2012's fourth quarter. As noted, gold is lower now. Newmont has paid dividends without interruption since 1934, but until July 2010, hadn't hiked them since October 2004. (Barrick pays 20 cents quarterly and yields 2.6%.)
The company said recently that it would focus on mining fundamentals in 2013, to lay the groundwork for profitable growth and more robust cash-flow generation. The shares set a 52-week low on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday of $40.44. Their 52-week high: $64.43.

Infosys will make way for global social networking giant Facebook on the Nasdaq-100, a key U.S. stock market index, effective December 12.
Infosys is the only Indian company to figure on Nasdaq-100, where it was included six years ago, and its imminent exit from the benchmark index follows the IT giant's announcement last week to shift its listing to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Nasdaq said in a statement that Facebook would become a component of the NASDAQ-100 Index, the NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index, and the NASDAQ-100 Technology Sector Index prior to market open on December 12.
On all these indices, Facebook will replace Infosys.
Prior to its inclusion to Nasdaq-100 index, Infosys had become the first Indian company to get listed on Nasdaq in 1999.
However, it has now decided to transfer its Nasdaq-listed American Depositary Shares (ADS) to another American bourse, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and is also planning to get listed on Paris and London exchanges.
An ADS is a U.S. dollar-denominated equity share of a foreign-based company available for purchase on an American stock exchange.
Infosys ADS will begin trading on the NYSE Euronext markets in the U.S. under the ticker symbol 'INFY' on December 12, a company statement said.
Until the transfer is complete, Infosys ADS will continue to trade in the U.S. under the ticker symbol 'INFY' on the NASDAQ, it added.
The Facebook stock has lost a significant value since its much hyped public listing in May.
Reacting to the development, shares of Infosys lost 2.48 per cent and fell to an intra-day low of Rs.2,369 on the BSE. The stock finally ended the day at Rs.2,390, lower by 1.62 per cent.
Keywords: Facebook, Infosys, Nasdaq 100

OPP: Friend Zone
by Slacker And Steve
posted Apr 1 2013 4:28PM
Blaine met a girl from work that is really hot. They started talking a couple weeks after he started at this job and she is really cool. They hang out on their breaks, at lunch and sometimes they even go out for a beer after work. Every time they are together all she does is complain about her boyfriend. He's lazy; all he does is complain about his job, he plays too many video games, etc. Blaine would love to date this girl, but he is really confused. Does she want him to be her knight in shining armor and rescue her from her horrible boyfriend? Or is Blaine so far in the friend zone that she is comfortable enough to talk to him about her boyfriend?
Steve thinks that Blaine is in the friend zone; she is having "girlfriend" convo with him and he is going to stay there. Slacker thinks that it may not be stuck in the friend zone; he just needs to make a move in order not to be stuck in the friend zone. All hope may be lost in this case…
What is your advice for Blaine?
I think Blaine should just play it by ear and see what happens, or just tell her how he feels. There are a lot of options in this situation…but I have never heard anything good about dating someone you work with. Who knows maybe he is feeling this way because he "can't" date her.

Trekkie wants to build USS Enterprise … in twenty years
Re: A journey to Alpha Centauri
What kinetic energy?
If the spacecraft is running at 0.1c, and switches off it's engines, it'll continue to run at 0.1c.
Relativistic effects only affect people outside you. You'll just be at normal zero gravity, as if you were at rest.
All the guy said was "IF" we could accelerate at 1g continuously. He didn't say how.
Ex-Lloyds bank digital security chief 'submitted £2.5m in false exes'
That works out at £16K a month approximately.
Sixteen thousand pounds a month in expenses? Four thousand pounds a week, every week for over three years?
And that is, presumably, on top of the legitimate expenses she claimed...
How on EARTH could that have happened?
Facebook underwriters accused of hiding forecast
I'm not one to defend financial institutions...
...but this doesn't look like a big deal.
Morgan Stanley's research analyst revised his predictions based on the public information that Facebook put out, saying they weren't so sure how to monetize Facebook on smartphones. The research analyst has to be independent of the IPO people - so, he came out with his revised prediction to a few major clients. As the story says, it's normal for major clients to get predictions ahead of the mainstream.
They are only predictions, based on his experience and public information. He did not have (or one hopes he did not have) any inside information about the IPO. There was no insider trading going on here.
It's unusual - in most cases, the analysts of a company that are leading a major IPO will tend to talk it up. But it's not wrong; arguably, it indicates that Morgan Stanley were sticking to the rules that the people who do their analysis are completely independent of the people leading their IPO.
Orange pulls out of women's Fiction
It's not chick-lit...

'Facebook ads are very boring and not very imaginative'
Oh yeah?
What sort of phone are you using? How did you originally hear about it? Could it possibly have been due to an advert?
What TV programs do you watch? How did you hear about them? What films do you see? Were any of them based on trailers you'd seen previously in the cinema?
Same applies for more-or-less everything in this world.
Like it or not, advertising is a fact of life, and it works on everyone.

Basic instinct: how we used to code
Well, damn - look what I found....
Replying to myself before anyone else does...
And there it is on page 2. "The language that you will use is BASIC (Beginner's All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) which is at the same time precise, simple and easy to understand."
You live and learn.
Until I see the actual Dartmouth BASIC manual, or a copy of it, and not merely multiple assertions all over the web, I'll stick by my memory. We knew that Algol was Algorithm Language, and Fortran was Formula Translation - but Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code? Please allow me to be very dubious.
Re: Shop demo models
That's truly evil! I like it.
"Don't forget that BASIC was developed at Dartmouth college as a simplified (hence the "B") way to teach programming..."
You are aware, aren't you, that the "Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code" is a retro-fitted phrase? BASIC was called BASIC because it was basic. Afterwards, people asked "But what does it stand for?" and someone came up with this truly horrible suggestion.
I was using BASIC in 1971 on a PDP-10 at Hatfield Polytechnic over a phone line from our school. But I didn't hear anything about "Beginner's etc etc" until sometime in the 1980s - round about the time that the story that BASIC was invented by Bill Gates started.
Publishers' club lauds UK e-book sales surge
digital tomes?
A couple of pedantic points
A tome is a big heavy book. The major advantage of e-books is that a whole library, never mind an individual book, is not big and heavy.
And if VAT at 20% is removed from an e-book, that reduces the price by approximately 17%..
But yes - I don't quite see why an e-book should attract VAT when a paper book does not....
What kind of LOSER sits in front of a PC...
Re: Where e-books go to die
Actually, not quite...
In the case of ePub, even if Sony, Kobo AND Adobe all go bust (which is roughly what would need to happen for Digital Editions to stop working) the books will continue to work on your licenced readers and PC.s.
Kindle - not so sure...
But this is why people strip the DRM off their books - so that they DO keep them if the worst comes to the worst.

BT's 'unbeatable' Infinity broadband ads banned by ASA
Re: @Martin They should have used "Unbeatable*"
I didn't expect your comment to be modded. But I still hold by my statement.
You'll rarely or never hear a woman use the word in this casual way; most of them will find it extremely offensive to hear it used in this way. Because we men are in a majority here, we can hide behind the dictionary. But it's still offensive.
It's surely not hard to find another word to use - there are plenty - which doesn't have the same connotation.
Re: They should have used "Unbeatable*"
Steve Evans - please don't use "rape" in this sense. It's pretty damn offensive by any standards.

About every tenth time it happens, I ask - why on earth are people so damn RUDE on the internet?
Why do people on forums routinely use the sort of language that would get them sacked if they used it at work, and smacked in the face if they used it down the pub?
It's possible to disagree with someone, or observe that they have missed a point, without resorting to abuse.
Climate-change scepticism must be 'treated', says enviro-sociologist
Lewis Page has done it again.
The very first sentence of the article is completely misleading, in a way that the Discovery Institute or Answers In Genesis would be proud of.
There is no indication or even an implication that 'Scepticism regarding the need for immediate and massive action against carbon emissions is a sickness of societies and individuals which needs to be "treated"'.
In fact the press release states that "From a sociological perspective, resistance to change is to be expected...People are individually and collectively habituated to the ways we act and think."
It also says that ""This kind of cultural resistance to very significant social threat is something that we would expect in any society facing a massive threat."
There is no suggestion whatsoever that this sort of skepticism is a "sickness of society". On the contrary, it says that this behaviour is to be expected.
But I've given up expecting fair or reasonable discussion on this subject on El Reg.
Re: Science first
Good science is self evident?!
Let me just mention a few items:-
Newton's laws of motion
Special relativity
Quantum Mechanics
Plate Tectonics
Genetics and DNA
Those are all, unarguably and undeniable, good science. They were all far from self evident when they were first postulated.
I have a horrible feeling that in a hundred years time, AGW will also be on this list.
Re: "What is his argument? An appeal to ignorance?"
Actually, I think you'll find it's the other way round.
Science, being science, is generally adjusted to fit the facts. That includes climate science. That's why the predictions are adjusted as we get more data.
Deniers are the ones who deny evidence, spout FUD and make dogmatic statements with no evidence. The above post being a classic example.
High school student expelled for dropping F-bomb in tweet
Re: sadly
Just for precision:-
A person is guilty of an offence if he—
(a)uses towards another person threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or
(b)distributes or displays to another person any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,
with intent to cause that person to believe that immediate unlawful violence will be used against him or another by any person, or to provoke the immediate use of unlawful violence by that person or another, or whereby that person is likely to believe that such violence will be used or it is likely that such violence will be provoked.
Or to put it another way - you won't be arrested for simply saying "fuck" in public. You won't normally even be arrested if you just tell a copper to "fuck off" - unless he feels threatened. If a cop arrested someone every time he was told to fuck off, he'd literally have no time to do anything else.
Frankly, why should coppers - or anyone else in public service - have to put up with "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour" when they are just doing their job?
Google I/O conference sells out in 20 minutes

Medieval warming WAS global – new science contradicts IPCC
Is this a news article or an op-ed?
Look, we know that Lewis Page only ever covers news which supports his anti AGW agenda. But with comments like "famous climate-alarmist scientists", he is going way beyond what is really justifiable.
It's actually a good thing for everyone that someone has done some research and discovered that things are not quite as we first thought. It's called science. We can never be sure we're absolutely right. But it's just another datum. As someone above said, it doesn't mean that global warming isn't happening.
Honestly, the last time I saw so much one-sided reporting on a science issue, it was the Discovery Institute trying to deny evolution.

DEFINITION of 'Financial Planning Association'
A U.S.-based professional organization formed in the year 2000 that helps members of the public find an ethical, objective, client-focused financial planner. The FPA also educates the public through seminars, literature and audiocasts about the importance of financial planning and the benefits of using a professional financial planner.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Financial Planning Association'
The Institute of Certified Financial Planners and the International Association for Financial Planning joined together in 2000 to create the FPA. FPA members must follow the organization's code of ethics, which requires financial planners to provide their services with integrity, objectivity, competence, confidentiality, fairness, professionalism and diligence. Members must be honest and unbiased with their clients, and they must provide financial advice that is in the client's, not the advisor's, best interest. Additionally, they must not provide advice in areas where they are not competent, and they must agree to continually expand their professional expertise. FPA members must provide impartial and thorough advice and disclose to clients any potential conflicts of interest. They cannot disclose a client's information without permission, and they must always behave in a way that reflects highly on the financial planning profession.
The FPA offers a free online search tool to help individuals find an ethical financial planner. The FPA has regional chapters that facilitate personal interaction among financial planners, and student chapters at universities connect future financial planners with ones already working in the field.

Editor, Index-Tribune:
Marshall's Auto Body is a site of historical significance and has served the community of Glen Ellen since 1968. The charm of small towns, with local family-run shops, is disappearing. Glen Ellen needs the services Marshall's provides.
Throughout history, locals and travelers, or those less fortunate, have sought help at a village church, livery stable or blacksmith's shop. Families have been known to spend a night in a manger. Garages are becoming few and far between. America needs jobs, goods and services.
Bob Marshall ran the body shop for 35 years, providing a bathroom and sometimes a shower for the less fortunate. Kevin Flores has maintained and honored the tradition of Marshall's Body Shop since 2003. Our community owes Mr. Flores and Bob Marshall a heartfelt "thank you" for demonstrating humane behavior and compassion for ones fellow man.
I asked Mr. Flores why he goes out of his way to help others, and he replied with a question, "What are we if we are not kind?"
Oh, my God! Everyone needs to be kind to each other – we owe it to ourselves. We all have problems and deserve to be treated kindly. Together we can create a kinder world.

A great, though not new story about Prime Minister Pete Nice and baseball memorabilia
Feb 17, 2011, 3:30 PM EST
I was involved in a random Twitter exchange with Jason Collette and Kevin Goldstein from Baseball Prospectus today in which the subject of 3rd Bass came up. No, not the hot corner, but the hip hop group best known for the single "Pop Goes the Weasel." Yeah, that was a long time ago, but neither Jason, Kevin nor I are that young, so it's OK.
The mention of 3rd Bass reminded me that Pete Nash — more famously known as Prime Minister Pete Nice of 3rd Bass fame and the guy in the middle of the above pic — was a big baseball historian and memorabilia collector. I couldn't remember where I heard that but I knew it was the case. Collette shot me a link to a Sports Illustrated story from a little over a year ago that jogged my memory. Seems that Nash/Nice was so big a memorabilia collector that it drained his fortune, got him involved in all kinds of litigation and eventually led to a determination that he committed fraud related to phony baseball memorabilia. Fun times.
It's fascinating stuff, as is the whole memorabilia market, really. I dabbled it in a bit with baseball cards, which is the far more respectable end of the memorabilia pool. When you get into old jerseys and letters and equipment and various other sorts of arcana, it gets dicey and seedy pretty fast. This quote from the article sums up my experiences with it:
For all its many upstanding, passionate collectors, the baseball-memorabilia subculture is also a notoriously seedy shadowland of Mametesque schemers and dreamers, thick with forgeries and thefts, conflicts of interest, dubious "authenticators," shill bidding, card doctoring and any number of other dubious practices. "The hobby is mostly filled with low-life hucksters, some of whom grow up to own important auction houses," says a longtime collector of early baseball material. "You can count the number of people who are smart and educated and honest on one hand."
I've mentioned that client I used to have who was a rare coin dealer and who got thrown in jail for 20 years over a $50 million fraud? Well, he dabbled in the memorabilia business too. He told me once that he never got into it too seriously, however, because it was "too damn crooked." Really.
Anyway, if you like old baseball memorabilia or if you simply like 3rd Bass, it's a good read.

He also used to run baseball-related guided tours of Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, and has apparently written a book on the subject:
A friend and I tried to go on the tour once, but were too poor at the time to scrounge up $20 between us.

You repped Noe (I'm assuming)? Huh.
I remember reading about that mess, and once or twice there was mention that, among the not-nearly-enough assets, were some baseball cards, held as investment pieces. I always wanted to learn which cards were held, because the investment potential of nearly all cards is nil. Have the assets ever been detailed in a public document?
- Craig Calcaterra - Feb 17, 2011 at 4:13 PM
Yes, Noe. There were far less cards than other things like autographs, photos, letters, etc. And way more political memorabilia than sports memorabilia. The confusion was that — separate and apart from the state investments he got in trouble with — Noe owned a baseball card shop. The state-invested memorabilia, coins and his baseball cards were all in the same building.
There was a detailed inventory list at one point and it was public — there was an auction — but I wouldn't know where to find it online. I probably have a hard copy of it in my basement.

Jonny5, i know we've had our ups and downs, but, 3rd bass was one of the most innovative rap groups of all time. gas face was about 20 yrs ahead of its time, what they were talking about all came true in the music industry. Lyrically they were both advanced, and daddy rich did things on the turntables at that time which were unheard of. Not to mention all the artists they put on as guests or signed and ended up having good careers. mc serch is still real nasty too.

In this work, the field emission property of wide band gap material (WBGM)-coated carbon nanotubes. The secondary electron emission behavior of MgO- and MgO/CsI-coated nanotubes were also investigated. The high secondary electron emission yields may be ascribed to the geometrical effect of the MgOand MgO/CsI-coated SWNTs

Hi all,
I'm Ken Krugler, founder of Krugle - a search engine for programmers.
Below is an updated version of my introductory post on the priorart-discuss mailing list.
Krugle is a search engine for code and technical content. Millions
technically oriented web pages, plus source code from repositories,
and 50K+ project descriptions linked to code.
Right now tags (notes) are free-form. They have a name, a note, and then
either a line number range in a file, or an entire file/page.
In 1999 the USPTO issued this RFC: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/notices/priorart.htm
Which meta-information for files getting timestamped do we store
All infos are optional, but in my prevalent-implementation i required that any three options had to be specified, but no specific one was required.
These are of course additional to the hash-values, which are required :)

McCaffery's Buzzer Beater Lifts Augie Past Mankato
by KDLT Sports
January 26, 2013 11:19 PM
MANKATO, Minn. –
Cameron McCaffery's three-pointer with one second remaining in overtime broke a 79-79 tie and gave Augustana an 82-79 win over No. 7 Minnesota State. The Vikings' win gives them a 14-4 overall record and a 10-4 mark in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. The Mavericks suffer only their second loss of the season and are 16-2 overall, 12-2 in the NSIC.
The Vikings' upset victory is their first over a ranked opponent since Augustana took down No. 13 St. Cloud State 74-52 on Jan. 28, 2012. The Vikings also own a 22-18 record in overtime with their last overtime win coming against Bemidji State, 103-93, on Jan. 7, 2012.
McCaffery used a Daniel Jansen screen to find an open shooting spot on the right wing before firing a three that fell through the bottom of the net with just one second left in overtime.
McCaffrey finished with a game-high 25 points on 11-22 shooting including a 2-5 showing from three. The Portland, Ore. native scored 19 of the Vikings' last 26 points, including 14 of the last 16 in regulation.
Augustana had a chance to win the game with the ball and the shot clock turned off, but McCaffrey's three-point attempt was off the mark.
Minnesota State started the extra period with five straight points, but McCaffrey answered with a layup and Zach Huisken drilled both of his free throws to make it a one-point game, 77-76. Alex Richter then hit a three after grabbing a rebound on the other end to give the Vikings their first lead of overtime.
Assem Marei hit two free throws for the Mavericks to tie the game at 79-79, setting McCaffrey up for his second career game-winning shot in the Taylor Center.
Augustana shot 54.8 percent from the field with 14 assists and placed four Vikings in double digits for scoring. Richter finished with 14, including two three-pointers, and
Jansen and
Yuriy Malashenko each poured in 13 points.
The first half began with both teams jostling for the upper hand and in just over nine minutes there were two ties and four lead changes. Joe Burt hit a three with 7:38 remaining in the first and Jansen followed with one of his own.
The Vikings held onto that cushion for several minutes then Malashenko and Richter hit consecutive jumpers and Augustana owned an 11-point lead. Richter hit a pair of free throws and the Vikings held the largest lead of the game, up 35-22. MSU's Zach Monaghan hit a three and the Vikings took a 35-25 lead into the intermission.
To open the second half, seven straight points from the Mavericks erased Augustana's double-digit lead and head coach Tom Billeter took a timeout, clinging to a three-point lead, 35-32.
The Vikings' lead slowly dwindled and Minnesota State's Zach Romashko hit a three-pointer at the 10:56 mark to give the Mavericks their first lead of the second half, a 53-52 edge. Huisken and Evan Pierce
scored for Augustana but the Mavericks had an answer each time. Then McCaffrey emerged from his scoring slump to lead the Viking charge.
McCaffrey hit a layup followed by a jumper and Augustana led by three, 60-57, but MSU wouldn't stay down. A second-chance bucket and a jumper by Minnesota State were answered by McCaffrey's first three-pointer of the game.
Converting a layup through contact and the ensuing free throw, McCaffrey gave Augustana a 66-61 with 5:40 remaining in the game. Connor O'Brien answered back with an and-one of his own. O'Brien then made a layup to tie the game at 66-66.
McCaffrey hit a jumper and Richter followed suit with a jumper of his own off a Jansen steal. The Vikings were up four but the Mavericks tied it back up with consecutive buckets.
McCaffrey's layup with just under a minute remaining gave Augustana an edge, but Jarvis Williams converted a lay-in of his own to knot the score at 72-72. McCaffrey's errant three-point shot at the buzzer set up overtime where he would become the hero once again.
Augustana returns home next weekend, welcoming Minnesota Duluth and St. Cloud State.
