SEATTLE — During the final moments of Saturday's game, a flock of birds congregated in the air above the west end zone at Husky Stadium. From Arizona State's perspective, they were not vultures, for a change.
Herring, Jones back in form in Huskies game
ASU notebook: Devils' secondary passes test
While the seagulls frolicked at one end of the field, the scoreboard at the other end signified something that the Sun Devils had not enjoyed since September: a victory.
The 39-19 win against Washington ended a school-record six game losing streak, provided coach Dennis Erickson his first win in Seattle in five tries and kept ASU's long-shot bowl hopes alive.
"We'll take a win," Erickson said. "We'll take any win after six losses. It was good to get the feeling back. It's been awhile."
After time expired, the Sun Devils (3-6 overall, 2-4 Pac-10) showed that they had not forgotten how to whoop it up after a win.
Jovial running back Keegan Herring, who ran for 144 yards and a touchdown, danced on the track surrounding the field. Players gathered in front of the small contingent of ASU fans among the announced crowd of 57,103. And chants and hollers emanated from the locker room.
"Man, it's been the longest month — actually, it's been two months, hasn't it? — of my life," quarterback Rudy Carpenter said. "It's been terrible, but that's the course our season has taken. I'm glad that the guys hung in there and kept playing hard."
Washington (0-9, 0-6), the only winless team in the NCAA's bowl subdivision, put up a fight well into the third quarter. In their second game since coach Tyrone Willingham was let go, effective at the end of the season, the Huskies threw deep often and unleashed an array of trick plays.
One went for a touchdown, when quarterback Ronnie Fouch caught a 6-yard scoring pass from wide receiver Cody Bruns in the second quarter.
But trickery that backfired put the game in ASU's favor.
A double reverse in the third quarter put the ball back in the hands of Fouch, who was walloped by ASU defensive end James Brooks at the 8-yard line. Two plays later, the Huskies punted, tipping field position to Erickson's team.
"That play was a turning point," Erickson said. "They wanted to throw it, and (cornerback) Terell Carr had it covered, and we get a sack. We didn't have good field position most of the day, but that play changed the game."
ASU took little time to post two touchdowns that gave it a 30-19 lead, put an exclamation point on a career day for receiver Michael Jones and tied quarterback Rudy Carpenter with John Elway for fourth all time in the Pac-10 in touchdown passes, with 77.
After Brooks' stop, the Huskies punted, and the Sun Devils took over 41 yards from the end zone. They covered that ground in eight plays, the last a 7-yard TD toss to Jones. Washington went three-and-out, and ASU marched to another score when Carpenter hit Jones from 2 yards out.
"In the first half, they did a couple of things on defense that we didn't expect, so we had to make a couple of adjustments at halftime," Jones said. "We did that and came out in the second half on fire. You want to go out and have fun. It hasn't been much fun around here. That's what the game is about. We came out, we played hard and won. That was fun."
Jones had 11 catches for 146 yards, both career highs. Much of his success was due to ASU's oft-beleaguered running game, which had a 100-yard rusher for the second straight game. Shaun DeWitty, who had 110 yards last week at Oregon State, started and was more physical, while the speedy Herring changed the pace.
"I think the important thing was that the offensive line did a great job, we ran the ball well, and the guys up front protected well," said Carpenter, who was 22-of-31 for 218 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jones touchdowns relieved some red-zone pain — ASU scored on all five trips inside the 20, but the first three were field goals. The 12 penalties (for 92 yards) were a season high. Troy Nolan scored a touchdown for the second straight week, returning a fumble 44 yards for a score.
For the Devils, though, those are secondary details to be dissected during today's film study. The main objective was finally met.
"After you lose so many times, just getting a win is all that matters," Herring said. "People can have faith in us now. We can still turn this around and have a decent season."

The Green Bastard
Digital Art
Drawings & Paintings
The demons of the forests and mountains are separate from the race of humans. They emerged in an earlier Creation, made by older gods. The ones that have survived into the age of the current Creation are powerful and strange, but rarely seen. Occasionally, though, the demons grow covetous and lustful. Distrustful of each other, they vent their desires upon humans, who are too weak to resist. When a male demon mates with a female human, the union always results in a child, for a demon's seed is powerful, and the child is always male. These children go by many names, but the most common name, spat out with disgust by husbands and fathers, is Bastard.
This entity is the fifth Bastard fathered by the demon Chagmog. Shunned for giving birth to a Bastard (Bastards are impossible to abort in the womb), his mother became a crazed hermit. Her only company was her son, whom she despised, but also depended upon for food and protection.
One day, when the Bastard was out hunting, a traveling warrior came upon the old woman's house and asked for water from her well and a bowl of rice from her table. A peasant must always assist a warrior when asked, so the woman began drawing water from the well. As she did so, the Bastard returned, carrying the corpses of two foxes tied to a long stick. The warrior immediately threw down his cup, let out a battle cry, and attacked the Bastard. Bastards, being half demon, are much stronger than humans, but the old woman's son had never fought before, and was only armed with a stick. The warrior defeated him, sending him fleeing into the woods, and burned the old woman's house, for the mother of a Bastard is cursed. The old woman, being crazed, walked into the burning wreckage, and died.
The warrior continued on his travels, and many years later he reached a temple on one of the northern islands, where he became a great master and teacher. His skills only grew as he aged, and even as an old man he could defeat any who challenged him. His disciples were renowned as the greatest swordsmen of all the kingdoms.
One bright morning in spring, the master warrior sat beneath a blooming cherry tree, which he had planted when he arrived at the temple. The tree was tall and broad, with many strong branches. His young disciples sparred with wooden swords in the courtyard before him while his most senior students, some of whom were nearly as old and skilled as himself, watched for error.
As the master watched, a new figure stepped onto the courtyard. This figure wore the billowing cloak and gaudy horned mask of a traveling entertainer. The master spoke a single soft word, and all his students ceased practicing and made way for the entertainer, whom the master had beckoned to come to him. The master bade the entertainer to perform for them, to act foolish and amuse them and to create illusions to dazzle them. The master knew the entertainer would give a good performance, for only the best would dare risk displeasing the greatest swordsmen in the kingdoms.
The entertainer bowed deeply and silently, and went to work. He produced a dozen unlikely items from his cloak--an egg, a toad, a woman's mirror--and began to toss and catch them in intricate patterns, all the while telling ridiculous stories and making absurd claims, to the great amusement of his audience. The performer then produced a small canvas basket and proceeded to catch every item with it, though it was surely too small to hold them all. He then adopted a stance that indicated he was going to begin a dramatic performance.
The performer passed his hand before his mask and it became that of an old woman, and then turned his outermost cloak inside out so that it suddenly appeared ancient and tattered. Changing his voice so that he was both the narrator and the old woman, he told her story of hardship, of her son who caused her so much grief and suffering, but upon whom she depended for her livelihood. He turned his cloak inside out once again, and it was the rugged garb of a hunter, and his mask changed into the face of a strong young man. The young man told his story of hardship and toil, of how he struggled to provide for his beloved mother, even though she despised him. Another transformation, and the performer wore the robe and stern face of a warrior disciple. So complete was the illusion that he could have easily passed as a student of the master himself. He told the warrior's story of long travels and doing good deeds. Presently, the warrior came upon the house of the old mother, and the performer became her, and offered the warrior hospitality, and assured him that her worthless son would be home soon with food. Another change, and he was the warrior again, telling the woman that if her son was worthless, he would teach him a lesson. Presently, the performer became the son, who returned home. He produced the pelt of a fox, and offered it to his mother and the warrior for dinner. The warrior and the son exchanged words, first calmly, and then with rising anger as the mother kept complaining and telling the warrior of her son's supposed crimes. The warrior produced a sword--a real sword, though bent and with a notch in the blade--and threatened the son. The son then suddenly stepped towards the master and confessed to him that he had been lying. His mother and the warrior did not despise him because he was lazy or worthless, as he had told the audience, but because--he changed his mask to one that was green and frightening--he was a Bastard. The audience gasped, for they were under the story's spell, and the master felt a strange glimmer of familiarity. The warrior shouted that he would slay the bastard and his accursed mother and set fire to their house, and produced a torch which flashed into flame. The performer threw off his cloak and tore off his mask, revealing a suit of dark armor and a terrifying green face. The audience shouted with surprise, and the master's oldest and greatest student let out a cawing laugh, delighted by the illusion. The master felt another pang of recognition, stronger and more troubling than before. The performer stood quite still and the master's students quieted, tensely waiting for the story's next revelation. The performer gave it to them. He said, "I must confess, great master, for I have been lying once again. This performance, which I have presented to you as a fable, is not so. It is true, though it has been so long that you have surely forgotten. The warrior in this tale is you, master, and the old woman my mother. And I have removed my costume, and I present myself to you as the Bastard. You defeated me once, and you have only grown in skill in the years since. However, I am the son of the demon Chagmog, and I have grown greater."
With that, the Bastard stepped forward and swept the head from the shoulders of the Master's greatest student, who somehow had still believed that he was watching a performance, and did not defend himself. The Bastard threw the flaming torch into the branches of the cherry tree which the master had planted, igniting them. The master's students shouted with surprise and rushed forward to attack the Bastard. The younger students, however, were still armed with wooden practice swords only, and many fell beneath the Bastard's ugly sword before the rest realized their error and fled to fetch more suitable weapons. The master's greater students, armed with long swords, short double swords, flanged maces, chained flails, and all manner of formidable weapons, fell upon the Bastard, who held them off with his lightning-quick strikes. One by one the great students fell, their bodies torn and their weapons shattered. The lesser students, mad with devotion to their master, armed themselves and swarmed upon the Bastard, who cut them down like a sickle through wheat.
The master's mind was blank with shock and awash with memory. He had forgotten about fighting the Bastard and burning his mother's house so many years ago, for it had seemed so insignificant an action, a thing that any good man would have done without a second thought. To see such an action return to him with such disastrous consequences filled the master not with dismay, but with a profound sense of surprise. There are some sages who say that the only way to appreciate life is to experience every moment in a perfect state of surprise. In his final moments, as the branches of his tree fell about him and the flames began to consume his robes, his hair, his flesh, the master attained enlightenment.
The son of Chagmog stood unmoving for a long time. The greatest swordsmen in the kingdoms lay dead around him in a ring of torn cloth and shattered armor. His greatest enemy was reduced to ash before him. As he stood, a dark cloud moved through his mind, and he felt the six arms of a demon embrace his spirit. A shadowy voice whispered to him, beckoned him to come into the mountains, to meet his brothers, to serve his father. There was great work to be done. The demons would rise again and enslave humanity, and Chagmog and his sons would rule all.
The Bastard stood still for some time longer, and the cloud passed. He turned and left the bloodied courtyard of the temple, but did not sheath his sword. Another battle yet remained.
So yeah, another one where the description sorta took on a life of its own.
A bit like "Vampire Hunter D" meets "Kill Bill," eh?
Anyway, those of you with good memories may remember this as one of my Team ChoW sketches
. Now, more than half a year later, I've rendered him up. I started thinking of him as "The Bastard" even when I was first sketching him, and as I did this more refined rendering of him a character history and storyline emerged in my mind. This story here actually isn't the one I was imagining; this really did take on a mind of its own, and surprised me as I wrote it. The storyline I imagined had more to do with the Bastard's father and his various half-brothers. I like the one I ended up writing, though.
...I can't think of anything else that needs to be said about this piece, so I guess just stay tuned for more. I'll probably draw some more characters from this storyline.

Thanks, Rodlox!
I'm slowly working out the mythology of this world, as well as what will happen next in this storyline. The Green Bastard actually switches sides and fights and defeats the rest of the Bastards, as well as Chagmog, though just what compels him to do so is a mystery to me as of yet.

WOW. What an incredible story...It has a real air of authenticity to it; I can really see this as a reinterpretation of an ancient Japanese fable. And yet it's not the clear-cut "good vs. evil" story of a fairy tale, but rather a subtle and nuanced narrative capturing the tragic and sympathetic plight of this character. It's ironic that he wasn't born a monster, but was made into one by the hatred of his fellows.
The art here is sublime...I'm not sure if you're getting better with fantasy creatures, or if you're just applying the highly polished confidence of your usual approach to a subject I'm not used to seeing from you, but either way this is fantastic. The armor is probably my favorite part--both the banded whorls of the plastron/breastplate and the flexible, spiky segments of the arm and leg armor. I especially like the way the armor is composed of multiple interlocking segments, combining traditional Samurai overtones with something more arthropod-like and thus reinforcing the subliminal associaton of a monstrous, "inhuman" nature to the character. And yet his face itself is so essentially human-like, albeit twisted with a fierce, bitter rage born of grief and resentment...Okay, I better stop there before I start reading too much into this!
Love those highlights on the armor, too--on the bands themselves and also on the torso epaulets....The one very minor criticism I might make is that the hair reads as kind of a flat mass rather than as something fully (three) dimensional. On the other hand, that could very easily fit with the dull, lank, unwashed quality of a demon's locks; and now that I think about it, the hair might become a distraction from the more important focal elements were it rendered in more detail.
Not sure what else to say, man...Your creativity and facility in both the art and writing categories never ceases to amaze me!

Thank you, Tom! I'm so happy that the story has been so well-received. I haven't had that much fun writing since...well, probably since "A Meeting With the Elder."
I actually did take a bit of a different path with this guy. I used more or less the same method that I used for Feather Man
, though much more successfully, I think. Rather than using my normal "scrubbing" method of rendering (you know, just pushing semi-transparent brushstrokes around until it looks right), I took a more decisive approach and simply laid down interlocking chunks of color. I found it was a great way to work on things like faces, where I have a lot of confidence, but it was much more difficult on the armor and cloth. The armor was indeed meant to be basically Japanese Samurai-type, but with a more Tolkien Orc aesthetic.
As for the hair, I simply felt that adding any modeling of form there would be unnecessary, and wouldn't have added any more information than the simple silhouette that I painted here.
Thanks again!

What truly interests me is whether non-process callbacks can block. It
seems that's not the case with Jack1 then?

Voice-over-Wi-Fi pioneer Kineto Wireless is trying to convince operators that if they can't beat the over-the-top VoIP challengers like Skype, they might as well join them.
Kineto is now selling a VoIP client and platform to operators that would allow them to bypass their own voice networks and offer their own cheap IP telephony services over Wi-Fi, LTE and even 3G. AT&T has already started exploring such offerings. In November it began offering a smartphone app called Call International that allows customers to make cheap overseas calls. Verizon partnered with its biggest OTT threat, Skype, in hopes of attracting more customers to its data plans (though the service oddly uses its CDMA circuit-switched voice network). But in both those cases, operators put limits on how the services could be used so customers couldn't simply move all of their voice minutes over to unlimited or big-bucket data plans.

or a total of 3 million annual households.3 Over a decade, the ACS will survey approximately 30 million addresses; for comparison, 17 million housing units were surveyed by the long form at one time in the decennial census.
A key function of the ACS is to produce estimates for various levels of geography (from small areas to the total nation) and other population groupings. The ACS provides estimates annually for areas (and population groups) of 65,000 or more people; these estimates are scheduled to be made available in the summer or early fall for the previous year's sample.4 To attain similar reliability to that provided for some of the small groups in the 2000 decennial census, the ACS estimates for the smallest areas or population groups must be based on data aggregated over 5 years.
The problem of the reliability of data for the smallest areas (such as counties) presents an equivalent statistical problem to the problem of the reliability of estimates for small (rare) subpopulations (small domain estimates), such as scientists and engineers, in terms of sample size considerations. Both small-area and small-domain estimates are subject to insufficient sample sizes to produce sufficient reliability. The National Science Foundation (NSF) faces a reliability problem in using the ACS as the NSCG sample frame not because it wishes to produce small-area estimates, but because it needs the ACS sample size for rare populations.
A recent National Research Council (2007) report, Using the American Community Survey: Benefits and Challenges, points out that there are some important differences between the ACS and the decennial long-form census. One, such difference is that ACS data products are 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year period estimates that average 12, 36, and 60 months of data, respectively. In contrast, the 2000 long-form sample of more than 16 million responding households obtained data for one fixed time—Census Day, April 1. In comparison with the long-form sample, the report suggests that the ACS has three major benefits:
Timeliness: ACS data products are released 8-10 months, instead of 2 years, after data collection.
Frequency: ACS data products are updated every year instead of every 10 years, which will make it possible in many areas to track trends in population characteristics that are important for understanding the science and engineering (S&E) workforce.
Quality: Higher quality of the data in terms of completeness of response to the survey items. The higher response rates for the

Security Professionals Conference
May 4-6, 2015
Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Online
Back to the Future: What Will the Future of Information Security Look Like?
Join us for the 13th annual Security Professionals Conference on May 4–6, 2015, at the Hilton Minneapolis Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota, or virtually from wherever you are. This year we will explore the theme Back to the Future: What Will the Future of Information Security Look Like? It's clear that today's information security practitioners require a unique blend of a vision for the future, combined with the wisdom and experience of the past, in order to successfully steer organizations across the modern threat landscape.
While we all wish we had a crystal ball to predict the future of information security, we cannot forget that the past will have an impact on our role both today and tomorrow. No time machine is necessary to re-live the past few decades of security, privacy, and technology, as many of us have evolved just as the solutions and threats have evolved. Much can be learned from the experiences of the past, and how it can shape what is in the future for our roles and responsibilities.
Come and learn from those who have been there, and those who are setting the benchmarks for the future. Grab the keys to your Delorean, and join us in Minneapolis where we'll go Back to the Future together, while preparing for tomorrow's threats through what is happening today.
Why Participate?
Attending the Security Professionals Conference is an opportunity to build your professional network and learn, reflect, and engage with colleagues. When you make the commitment to attend the Security Professionals Conference 2015, you become an active participant in community dialogue—entrenched in an environment removed from the day-to-day pressures of campus. This valuable professional experience directly benefits you and your institution through an infusion of fresh energy and ideas along with validation of current practices. Registration for the Security Professionals Conference 2015 will open in late January 2015.
Virtual Conference
In order to support the large geographic area represented by the Security Professionals Conference, EDUCAUSE webcasts various conference sessions and offers specific online-only sessions. This enables members to learn and network with colleagues without leaving their campus, and can attend the online conference individually or with a team.

skin tears
- 0Oct 9, '07 by bebop1ok. I am a home health nurse I have been getting a lot of patients out of a rehab center that has skin tears but all they do with them is put a tegaderm on them.
so when they finally get home, they have an old tegaderm, with an old infected skin tear underneath. that usually still has all the old blood under there too. that when I get the tegaderm off, just pulls off more skin, and bleeds more. Just the other day the tegaderm had a date of 9 days ago. the patient said the nurses were waiting for it to just fall off. when you could see that the area was infected.
what do you recommend for skin tears? we usually use adaptic? and then cover it? if that is what ya all do? how long? or what do you recommend? and how often to change it?
- 1Oct 10, '07 by sharlynnIf the flap can be approximated, cleanse with NS, approximate and apply paper tape strips or steri strips ( My facility had a VERY cost conscious meical director). Unless there are signs of infection, leave it alone until the tape falls off.
If there is no flap or it cannot be approximated, cleanse with NS, apply triple antibiotic ointment, adaptic and gauze wrap. Change bath days and PRN.

What's Chanukah without a little dreidel? Better than mario kart or guitar hero, dreidel is not only fun, but its a game about equality…because it requires absolutely no skill at all - everyone's on the same level. I learned, however that the classic game can be pretty boring. That's why I sat down with Jewish Joural Senior Editor Adam Wills, a dreidel expert. Together we learned basic play along with a new game…upside-down dreidel.
