EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Keith Appling scored in double figures for the first time in more than five weeks and No. 22 Michigan State looked healthier than it had in months in an 86-76 victory over No. 24 Iowa on Thursday night.
Appling showed his old aggressiveness before hip and wrist injuries and scored 12 points for the Spartans (23-7, 12-5 Big Ten). Travis Trice, Appling's backup, was 3 for 4 from 3-point range and had 16 points, while Adreian Payne added 14 points in his final home game.
Denzel Valentine had 13 points and nine assists for Michigan State, which looked a lot like the team that is 19-2 with a healthy Branden Dawson in the lineup.
Roy Devyn Marble had 24 points for Iowa (20-10, 9-8).

Don't Like (Remix) Lyrics - XV
[Verse One: Sez Batters]
[Verse One: Sez Batters]
Bald nigga, raw nigga, black version of Walt White
Two words, one name, my chain Bruce Wayne, that dark knight
Bad chicks I roll with, whack shit, I don't spit
She do the same while giving brains, I bag her up like Saks Fifth
Bird talk, swole these, you mad at her 'cause she follow me
Your bars hard, ain't hard to read, I said mad at her 'cause she follow me
New windows, she macked up, you number two like back up
He handcuff, Rosanne tough, when you stand up, we crack up
A fuck nigga, that's that shit I don't like
A snitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like
A bitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like
Sneak disser, that's that shit I don't like
[Verse Two: XV]
Love, life, loyalty is what I said, right?
And living like legends until we dead, right?
Bitches hoping they can catch me a red light
Hopping out of something you ain't see before like dead might
But this game mix niggas with dreams and they life
I thought about it once, I thought about it twice
But I found passion in that pit rise in the darkest night
Shout out to Angelakos, that's my nigga Mike
I hate hearing these new nobodies who just knew somebody
I hate what these new broads be doing to they bodies
Vegas hotel lobby, her titties hard as rock
Her ass already drunk, it's had too many shots
I hate when niggas hype shit up just to see it flop
I hate that black pornstars don't get any props
Shout out Nyomi Banxxx, shout out Mone Divine
Shout out to Roxy Reynolds, I hope Skin Diamond shine
Shout out Kristina Rose, she said I'm out my mind
Won't see me on no set but it's my fucking time, fine
[Hook 2]
A fuck nigga, that's that shit I don't like
A snitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like
A bitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like
Sneak disser, that's that shit I don't like
Don't like, like, don't like, like
A snitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like
[Verse Three: Freddy High]
Fuck niggas, Square Gang, light one, let's airplane
We kill shit that's fair game, address niggas, Vera Wang
Change lanes with a red dame, ass shots like Sarah Jay
She suck trey the long way and her tits look just like Tory Lane's
I'm turnt up, yeah, we repping squares and that's for life
We don't give a fuck if you don't like, long nights, pop bottles
We live life, that's our motto, this rap shit don't work out for me
I could still go back to my old life

Start 'em young: SAP coders in middle school
Summary: Coding for SAP is usually associated with serious geeks. But in this video we find that youngsters can be taught how to work with SAP systems. Enjoy
I'm at SAP TechEd Las Vegas this week. Among other things, my video partner Jon Reed and I are recording cool geek stuff that we find along the way.
We discovered that a middle school in Maryland has a couple of youngsters (as in 9-14 year olds) who are developing mobile applications. One of the young people, Nikola Bura, who will be presenting at DemoJam later in the week, agreed to appear on JD-OD.com and tell us a little bit about what he's doing. DemoJam is a contest for geeks who get six minutes to strut their stuff. The final result is determined by audience applause.
As a father and grandfather it is always great to see youngsters trying the kinds of thing that would never have been possible when I was at that tender age. Similarly, I give SAP and SAP Mentor John Astill kudos for encouraging youngsters to learn new coding skills. Last year it was SQL, this year it is Java.
The application being described helps consumers discover the provenance of food stuffs in their local supermarket to determine if it has been sourced from safe areas. How good is that?
Anyhoo - this is one I wanted to share with the ZDNet community in the hope it serves as an encouragement to others. Enjoy.
Disclosure: SAP covered most of my T&E for this event.

Young hits slam, Colon goes 5 as A's beat Brewers
Updated On: Mar 26 2013 07:26:00 AM CDT
Chris Young hit a grand slam and Josh Donaldson homered among his four hits as the Oakland Athletics backed Bartolo Colon with a big offensive performance in a 9-7 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.
Scott Sizemore had four hits and two RBIs for the A's. Colon gave up three runs and six hits over five innings in his third start and fifth appearance of the spring. He struck out three and walked none.
Colon will sit out the first five games of the season while completing his 50-game suspension for a positive drug test last year.
Brewers starter Chris Narveson served up Young's slam in the fourth. The left-hander allowed six runs on eight hits and five walks in 3 2-3 innings.

Rich Johnson is co-director of the Junction City Boys and Girls Club. Monday he was attempting to take 333 laps around Junction City Park on his bike, which equals about 200 miles.
As part of the ride, the Boys and Girls Club is collecting pledges and putting on a hot dog roast to raise money for the club.
It's the third year for the ride.
"Well, first year we made $700; that was when we originally opened the Boys and Girls Club. Last year we only made about $100. I'd still like to make about $500."
Johnson started at 4:30 Monday morning and was hoping to finish by 8 that night. If you'd like to help the Boys and Girls Club in Junction City, you can call 715-321-0947.

Egypt getting ready for IMF deal this week
The Egyptian government expects to sign a memorandum of understanding with the International Monetary Fund for a $4.8 billion loan before an IMF negotiating team leaves Cairo on Wednesday, Finance Minister Mumtaz al-Said said.
November 12, 2012 6:33 by Reuters
The government also plans to eliminate its subsidy on 95 octane gasoline effective as of Wednesday or Thursday, he said, a move that suggests the government wants to show it is taking active steps to close the deal.
Egypt has been drawing up an economic reform plan in part to help convince the IMF it is serious about economic reform. Analysts say the IMF usually requires that governments take active measures before signing off on loans.
"We will sign a preliminary memorandum of understanding before they leave," the minister told Reuters by telephone, adding that the team would remain in Egypt until Wednesday.
The government wants the $4.8 billion IMF loan to help it narrow a budget deficit running at 11 percent of gross domestic product and a balance of payments deficit that has gobbled up more than $20 billion of its foreign reserves since the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak in February 2011.
Egypt's cabinet will meet with President Mohamed Mursi on Tuesday to review the government's "comprehensive development plan", Prime Minister Hisham Kandil said on his Facebook page. The meeting would be followed by a news conference, he said.
No economic plan has yet been released to the public. But government officials have outlined a range of proposed measures such as cutting back on fuel subsidies, raising the sales tax on goods and services and taxing IPOs on the stock exchange.
Leaks to Egyptian media are seen as an effort to prepare the public for steps that are certain to be unpopular.
Among the measures reported in recent days are raising the price of natural gas piped to homes as of next month and a one percentage point increase in sales tax to 11 percent.
The government is also proposing higher taxes on telephone use and purchases of passenger cars, cigarettes and tobacco, beer and alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic beer, carbonated mineral water, coffee beans and water-resistant cement.
Drivers pay 2.75 Egyptian pounds ($0.45) a litre for 95-octane fuel, well below the international price. The price of lower octane fuel used more widely by the poor will remain unchanged for the time being, officials have said.

Race Day Recap
Congratulations to all Masterminds in Portland who conquered the 2014 Great Urban Race! All participants started their adventure at Lucky Lab Beer Hall and then went on to discover the hidden clues in their city. Masterminds completed a variety of unique activities that required quick thinking, problem-solving, and physical tenacity!
Throughout the day our participants went to Vibrant Studios where they received tribal face paint and had to learn a wild woman dance! Also, who could forget the critter challenge at Glowing Greens and the music challenge at Schuback Violin Shop?
We'd like to give big high-fives to our first, second, and third place teams who all receive a free entry to the 2014 National Championship in Vancouver on August 9, 2014 where they'll have the chance to compete for $10,000 in cash prizes. In first place, we had The Nads finishing in 1:17! The Goats finished in second with a time of 1:20 and Cougin' It – Oyster Racing grabbed the third place spot at 1:26.
Thanks to all of the teams who dressed up and brought some added spirit to the day. A special shout out goes to Team Surprise for winning the costume contest! We would also like to thank our St. Jude volunteers, all of our clue locations, and of course all of our amazing Masterminds! The GUR Crew had such an enjoyable time and we hope to see you again this year in Vancouver at our National Championships.
Champion Interview
Team Name: The Nads
How many times have you participated in Great Urban Race? Are you a past champion?
We are past champions and have participated in GUR around seven times.
When you open your clue sheet, what is your first step?
First, we panic. Then, we run far and fast.
Did you use public transportation during the race?
Did you utilize ground support? (phone-a-friend) If yes, how did you choose your team?
Yes, we used phone-a-friend. We chose our team on their ability to run a beer mile.
Did anything set you back today?
The ping-pong blow challenge at the Sand Bar.
What's your team motto/theme song?
Our theme song is, "Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now – Starship".
What role do each of you play on the team?
Andy is the jock, Tyler is the navigator, and Josh is the trapper keeper.
Any words of wisdom to future racers?
Do the beer mile after GUR, not before!

A little about me...
I'm a lady that loves the country life style. Enjoying sharing time with friends in my log cabin in the woods. Want a guy that loves the Lord and lives like it. An open honest relationship is essential.Like puttering around the cabin and yard and some travel. I'm romantic minded and would love to take a horse drawn sleigh ride with my guy. Picnics and star gazing are right up there too. I like to write children's books and have one I am in the process of marketing and another waiting to be published. I am told by my friends that I am a good cook. Even had the fun one time of winning first prize in a Ben & Jerry's chili cook off. I'm not much of a sports fan but don't mind learning from you. I like walks and to exercise, but I'm no athlete. I do enjoy camping and fishing and would like to try snow shoeing. I mention below some favorite places, but the cabin is my most favorite place. One of the mottoes I live by is to, "live simply, laugh often, love much." Another is the golden rule. I am faithful and true and will never stop letting you know how much I appreciate you. I love hugs and flowers, especially the ones you pick for me, and I'm longing for the day we find each other and to be in your strong arms.
About the one I'm looking for...
Searching for a guy that is God fearing and treats me and others kindly and respectfully. Strong yet gentle. Want someone with a good sense of humor, responsible, financially secure and capable of handling any situation. A person of good character is soooo important. I want to begin by cherishing you as a friend first. Must like cats. I'm not a crazy cat lady though. lol But I do love the little critters. They are great companions. I like well behaved dogs too. Want someone that is a romantic at heart. . If you are a great gardener, I would be delighted. I hope you're not afraid of distance. Wouldn't you go to the ends of the earth to find your true love? I am willing to relocate if you are mine.
I'd just like to add...
I enjoy entertaining friends, going exploring on back roads, yard sales and quaint shops. I often watch Fox News shows. I am spending more time exercising, so if you like the gym it would be a plus for me to tag along, however, walking in the great outdoors is best. I enjoy going out to eat occasionally which includes fine dining as well as the local pizza shop. I am essentially a home body, but like a vacation now and then. Often a spur of the moment kind of gal. Would love to see Alaska and British Columbia and return to some of the National parks. Visiting a city now and then is OK too. Love to visit gardens. I prefer praise, oldies and country music. Really do not like jazz or rap. I do have children in my life. They are what I call "heart" children rather than natural or adopted. I want the right guy. I've been alone a long time and prefer to stay that way rather than to have a "settled for." I keep praying God will help us find each other.

said Is minimum wage law for prisoners only Lawmakers million apart on school funds By DANIEL J FOLEY Standard Slate Bureau HELENA Democrats and Republicans are only about apart on the amount they want to authorize schools to budget for elementary students and for high school students However when the differences are multiplied by approximate ly students the amount totals more than million for the 196971 biennium UNDER SENATE Bill 88 as passed by the Republican con trolled House schools with more than 300 elementary students would be allowed to budget per student Under the amended version passed by the Demo cratically controlled Senate The average cost this year for studenls in these larger ele mentary schools which include about 75 per cent of the grade school children in the stale is Because neither the Dem ocratic nor Republican proposals would match this figure these schools would be forced to seel voter approval for higher spending The Republicans propose to allow schools to budget 644 per student for high schools with more lhan 600 students while the Democrats are proposing a figure of per student The average cost for students in fhese larger high schools which educate about 57 per cent of schools could budget per the states students Is this NOW THAT HOUSE Republi cans and Senate Democrats have agreed to disagree a con ference committee will be called to resolve the differences Basic difference between flic parties positions is whether Ihe anticipated state deficiency in school aid should automatical ly be levitd against the proper ty taxpayer or assessed after a vole by the taxpayer Republicans favor the auto malic levy because under pres ent law it would be levied on a countywide basis with equali zation between rich and poor districts DEMOCRATS favor giving the taxpayer a vote but a voled to only op g basis with no equalization One compromise being dis cussed Thursday would result in levy which must be assessed be fore courties are eligible for slate aid Under this plan ad ditional revenue would be raised in an equalizalion basis thus satisfying Republican demands It also appears that the con ference commiltee probably will settle on schedules somewhere between those now sought by the two parties This would pro vide more realistic schedules sought by the Republicans but still give the property taxpayer a vote on some of the ad ditional

The drama traditionally has begun a few days before the opening performance of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, when the young competitors first convene in Fort Worth.At what is known as the draw party, the artists pick numbers from a chalice to determine the playing order in the preliminary round. No one has ever wanted to play first.But over the past half-century, that night has been memorable for another reason. It was the competition namesake who held the chalice, and that party was when the young musicians from around the world were swept into Van Cliburns famous embrace. He hugged them and visited briefly with each, making each starry-eyed competitor feel as if he or she were the most interesting person in the world.You didnt know that force that he is until you met him, said Fort Worth pianist Shields-Collins Bray, Cliburns longtime friend. A lot of these kids, they wont know exactly what they are missing. Meeting him was a transformational thing. It wasnt so much that they were meeting a legend, it was meeting a very warm person who was a legend. It was very inspiring.That personal warmth, as much as Cliburns legendary career at the keyboard, explains the widespread wistfulness as the 14th Cliburn competition approaches, beginning Friday at Bass Hall. Cliburn died Feb. 27 at age 78 after a battle with bone cancer, so for the first time since the debut competition in 1962, Fort Worths premier cultural event will go on without him.It will be a terrible sense of absence for me, and I guess for everybody else, said Richard Casper, a Cliburn classmate at the Juilliard School in the 1950s. Casper and his wife, Elizabeth Carr, have attended every Cliburn competition since 2001. Its sad that the contestants will miss him. They all seemed dying to talk to him, however briefly. Van was the Super Glue. Its as well-run a competition as Ive ever heard of, and I think it will go on undiminished, but it will be different for us. Less fun.It was in 1958 that a 23-year-old Cliburn shocked the world by winning the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. That same year, at a dinner in Fort Worth, Irl Allison, founder of the National Guild of Piano Teachers, announced that he would offer $10,000 to the winner of a new competition bearing Cliburns name. Local piano teachers and civic leaders offered to make Fort Worth the events permanent home.Cliburn was said to be embarrassed by the gesture.Oh, dont worry, his mother, Rildia Bee, told him then. There will be one, and that will be it.She could not have been more wrong, yet friends say Cliburn continued to feel a little abashed.He was always taken aback, said Richard Rodzinski, Cliburns close friend and longtime head of the Cliburn Foundation until his retirement four years ago. He said it was very strange to hear his name used as a noun The Cliburn.Behind-the-scenes presenceNot that the competition, regarded as one of the worlds finest, is likely to see much change, at least practically speaking. Cliburn had no administrative duties and no part in determining the winners and losers. With a couple of notable exceptions over the years, he carefully kept his opinions about performances and competitors to himself.Instead, he was like the monarch of the competition, holding the chalice at the draw party at the beginning, handing out the medals to the winners at the end. In between he would quietly come and go from his private box at Bass Hall, luxuriating in the performances, agonizing with the young artists under so much pressure.He understood what each one of the participants was going through, said Thomas Smith, Cliburns longtime companion. Just the act of walking onstage, Van understood very well. And it hurt him how can I say this without putting words into his mouth? It was difficult for him to see people not be able to fulfill their dreams by at least advancing to the next stage. Which is one reason that Van would never in a million years be on a jury.He was always at arms length with the competitors until the final round, because of the emotional attachments that could have taken over, Smith said. He would become very attached to the people who advanced, only because he got to know them on a deeper level, got to see them more often. They became part of the Cliburn family. A few of them became colleagues and friends.But during the competition, he always kept his opinions about the performances to himself. He was never known to utter a critical word.Hed have his favorites, no doubt about that, but that was always private, Smith said. Wed talk about it at home, but hed never share his opinion, even with close friends who would go to the competition. He let people make up their own minds, how these kids affected them as they listened. It shouldnt be how they affected Van.One of the few occasions Cliburn singled out a competitor came in 1993, and it created a minor scandal. The pianist was Andrew Armstrong, a 19-year-old American who gave a stellar performance in the preliminaries.It was fabulous! Fabulous! Cliburn was heard to say afterward, walking down a corridor at Ed Landreth Auditorium, the Texas Christian University venue where the preliminaries were then held.Armstrong was told that the legend wished to speak to him.He looked at my hands for a while, and I looked at his hands for a very long time, Armstrong said after their 15-minute meeting. I was just gaga, staring.That prompted immediate and widespread speculation about whether Cliburns attention would affect the jurors. Armstrong advanced to the semifinal round, but no further, after some memory slips. Cliburn was never so publicly effusive again.An empty seat in the hallPart of the allure of the competition over the years has been the chance for audience members to see the great man at Bass Hall.And if you saw him, you would probably get to talk to him, Bray said. And if you got to talk to him, he would talk back to you. People are going to miss that part of it. There wont be any more Van sightings.Rodzinski said the atmosphere in the hall was different, more supercharged, when Cliburn was present.When he was in the hall, you knew it, Rodzinski said. Van has always played a behind-the-scenes role, and aside from saying a few words at the awards ceremony, he really had stepped back pretty far from any direct involvement. Where it will be felt, I think, is in the indefinable lack of his presence in Fort Worth, sometimes in the theater.But while recalling Cliburn and his competition, friends most often remembered his famous empathy with the competitors.He deeply appreciated what they were doing, Smith said. He understood exactly what they were going through, not for six months or a year of preparatory work, but since early childhood, all the hours and days they put into their craft, their art. The first round what do they get, 30 minutes to show us, the audience, a glimpse of an entire life of work?He knew what was at risk for each one of those kids, Smith said.But Cliburn was never really interested in the competitive aspects, Smith said.It did pain him to see that sometimes the overall communication appeared to be lost for some. It was a horse race, Smith said. The technical capabilities of these kids was mind-boggling to him, but what sometimes bothered him was that there was no story being told, other than who could get to the finish line first.He always thought the competition was an opportunity cycle every four years to give these 30 the exposure and an opportunity to share their stories, their gardens, whatever it was they had to say, Smith said. Van always played for the person in the last balcony. He couldnt stand pianists who played for themselves. He just wanted each of those participants to tell a story.Jon Nakamatsu, the Cliburns 1997 gold medalist, has gone on to a successful performing career after his Fort Worth triumph. In the years since his win, Nakamatsu and Cliburn became friends.Knowing hes not there will certainly put a damper on things, to a certain extent, but what really matters is that his spirit still pervades the competition, Nakamatsu said. I think that will continue, at least I hope it will. The main difference is that you wont have that person who could really identify with us. As much of a legend as he was, we felt he was real. He really understood what we were going through.He did it all. He went through a competition. He won it. He had a huge career and freely admitted it wasnt always a bed of roses, Nakamatsu said. Having that realistic but positive look at things was important. Its sad thats not there anymore.Its also natural to wonder: What now? Cliburns absence has been acutely felt in the office, said Jacques Marquis, the Cliburn Foundations new president and CEO.I think this Cliburn [competition] will be under a magnifying glass, Marquis said. How will the Cliburn react? Van wasnt there at the competition day to day, but he was the name, the icon. If Van is not there, is the competition going to be as great as ? I think people will watch us closely. Thats why were trying very hard to do the best competition there is.Competition organizers face the daunting task of paying tribute to Cliburn, without turning the event into something funereal or maudlin.Too much is too much and too little is too little, Marquis said. I think the things were thinking about will be very nice. Not too much, but we know he will always be there.The message, Marquis said, will be this:This is a transition. Weve been saluting him, paying tribute. We carry his vision. He is always with us, alive in the vision of the Cliburn. But at the end, the kids are the new messengers. He would have loved that, I think.
