Tom Crean takes blame for Indiana's loss to ND

The Big Number
IU received zero votes in the media and coaches' polls this week. It's the first time that's happened since 2011.
The Bonus
It's pretty simple in Tom Crean's estimation: spend extra time in the gym, and it will pay off.
That's how he credited Victor Oladipo's rise to the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, and more recently, it's why grad student transfer Evan Gordon has improved offensively.
"That's really the culture of the program," Crean said. "The guys who spend that extra time (in the gym), it's amazing how well that works out.
"The guys that just practice, it's amazing how poorly that turns out. There really is no secret."
Updated: January 19, 2014 12:07PM
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana coach Tom Crean took full responsibility for his team's loss to Notre Dame.
"We played worse than what I thought during the game," Crean said during his radio show Monday night, two days after the Irish never trailed in defeating the Hoosiers in the Crossroads Classic.
"I take full responsibility because I should have done a much, much better job in the game of making sure at the end that the ball went inside," he said.
After Yogi Ferrell's 3-pointer pulled IU within 71-69, the Hoosiers missed five of their final six shots from the field. Four of those shots were 3-pointers, although the score dictated some of that shot selection.
More notable are IU's 2-point shot splits: 13-of-23 in the first half, 6-of-20 in the second half.
"Frankly, with the mistakes we made in the game and the poor coaching job that I did, I'm amazed we were even in it at the end," Crean said. "But it was still a very winnable game ... and we've got to do a better job of understanding what we want, and that starts with making sure (the ball) is going through the paint and going through the post."
That means Noah Vonleh needs to demand the ball more. Will Sheehey said as much after Saturday's loss.
Crean agreed that Vonleh hasn't learned how to demand the ball.
"Not yet, but he will," Crean said of Vonleh, noting that age-wise he should be a high school senior.
Vonleh failed to score in double-digits for the second straight game on Saturday. After hitting all three of his shots in the first half against the Irish, Vonleh took just two shots in the second half.
"What we're dealing with as a young team right now ... is that we don't understand momentum and we don't understand that a five-point, seven-point difference is not the time to come down and shoot a 3-point shot," Crean said. "It's the time to get the ball reversed."
The Hoosiers don't play again until Friday, but they'll have two games in three days before the Big Ten schedule opens on New Year's Eve.

Beef doesn't have a corner on the pot roast market. This braised pork roast is smothered in sweet-and-sour red cabbage and simmered to juicy tenderness.
Prep: Chop onion. Cut cabbage into quarters; cut out core. Thinly slice cabbage crosswise.
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in Dutch oven or covered flameproof casserole over mediumhigh heat. Mix thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper and rub over pork. Add pork to pot and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer pork to plate.
2. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in pot and add onion. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 3 minutes. In batches if necessary, add cabbage to pot, sprinkling it with balsamic vinegar. Stir in jelly and ½ cup water. Bury pork in cabbage. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover.
3. Simmer until cabbage is tender and meat thermometer inserted in center of roast reads 150°F, about 1¼ hours. Season cabbage with salt and pepper to taste. Remove pork from pot and cover cabbage to keep warm. Let pork stand 10 minutes. Carve and serve hot, with the noodles.
Dressing Braised Pork Pot Roast and Red Cabbage Up: Add one 15-ounce jar vacuum-packed chestnuts, coarsely chopped, to the cabbage during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Red cabbage turns an odd color unless it is cooked with an acid. In this recipe, balsamic vinegar plays this role. Use a moderately priced brand, not the aged, artisan variety.
Nutritional information does not include salt and pepper to taste or hot cooked noodles, for serving.

In this day and age of brawling R&B singers and twitter beef, it's nice to see a lyricist actually taking it to the mic again. Although there certainly wasn't a shortage of twitter beef involved in this case either.
"They say hard work pays off/Well tell the Based God don't quit his day job"
You might remember that line from 'Survival Tactics,' a standout track from Joey's excellent debut 1999, and it's something Lil B took offense with, as evidenced by the diss track he suddenly launched against Joey titled 'I'm The Bada$$.'
Because this is 2013, the two went back and forth on Twitter for a while, in front of a lot of digital bystanders…
@joeybadass_ JOEY YOU NEED TO THANK ME FOR HELPING YOU TREND AROUND THE WORLD – Lil B
— Lil B From The Pack (@LILBTHEBASEDGOD) January 29, 2013
Prompting Joey to retaliate with a track of his own, despite stating it wasn't worth the hassle earlier.
Which basically ethered Lil B to such a degree that he did a 180 turn and became a fan. Game. set, match. Quickest battle ever?

Obama 2.0: The liberal agenda to come
Do not expect a return of the mythical moderate Obama, the one who speaks of bipartisanship with an earnest tone and dances cautiously around his liberal partners, trying not to brush too close to them. Tonight he is most likely to emerge arm in arm with them. He has more "flexibility" now.
Tonight the President makes clear his priorities, and they will share one common theme: More money and more power for Washington so that it may reshape America according to the image Barack Obama has envisioned.
There is to be no serious effort to eliminate the federal debt that already is harming our economy and will only do greater damage as it rapidly expands under a President who has no interest in controlling it. There is to be no serious entitlement reform, no serious reduction in federal spending or power.
On domestic issues, expect a highly partisan, exceedingly liberal call to expand the power, scope and size of the leviathan. On foreign policy, expect retreat.
Tonight, Obama begins in earnest his plan to become the liberal Reagan, to undo the Reagan legacy and restore the FDR-LBJ welfare state, only greater and with more power and authority to control the lives of citizens. The Republican response ought to be as strong and aggressive as the President's. Hit back, and hit back hard. This is a big moment. Live up to it.

f(x) (band)
|Background information
|Seoul, South Korea
|Years active
|Associated acts
|SM Town
|Korean name
|Revised Romanization
f(x) (/ˌɛf ˈɛks/; Korean: 에프엑스) is a five-member multi-national K-pop girl group formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2009. The group consists of Chinese leader Victoria, Taiwanese-American member Amber, Korean members Luna and Sulli, and Korean-American member Krystal.
The group's music is best known for its fusion electro pop sounds.[1] Introduced as "Asia's Pop Dance Group" on September 2, 2009,[2] they released their debut digital single "LA chA TA".[3] In November of the same year, they released their first single album Chu~♥.[4] Then in May 2010, they released their first EP Nu ABO to growing popularity. After the members expand individually in the entertainment industry and the return of member Amber from hiatus (in June 2010), they returned with their first studio album Pinocchio, released in April 2011. The lead single off the album gained their first music program win and was their first song to win the triple crown that led to its first repackaged album "Hot Summer", on June 2011 which led the group to fame and popularity.
A year after, they returned with their second EP Electric Shock. Electric Shock reached the number one spot on both the US and Canadian iTunes electronic albums chart soon after its release.[5] The lead single off their EP gave the group multiple recognition in the music industry. Electric Shock holds the record as f(x)'s song with most music wins.[6]
In March 2013, they became the first K-pop group to perform at 2013 SXSW (South by Southwest).[7] After 13 months from the release of Electric Shock, Pink Tape, was released in July 29. The group received critical acclaim and huge success, most notably being described as "experimental, steeped in quirky, boundary-pushing electronic sounds with woozy harmonies", thus being the only Kpop album released in 2013 to be ranked as "The 41 Best Albums of 2013", by Fuse TV, an American music channel.[8] Rum Pum Pum Pum swept all 9 Korean charts soon after its release, and most notably, the song ranked #3 on billboard's "20 Best K-Pop Songs of 2013".[9][10]
In July 2014, the band released their third full-length album Red Light to critical and commercial success. However, in the midst of promotions, SM Entertainment posted an official statement on the group's homepage on July 24 stating that Sulli would be taking temporary hiatus from the entertainment industry due to severe emotional and physical distress caused by "continuous, malicious comments and false rumors," but would still be a member of the group.[11] Thus, SM Entertainment scrapped all previously scheduled promotions for Red Light and instead had the rest of the group focus on their solo activities and group activities without Sulli.[12] In August 2014, f(x) album design for EP Album 'Electric Shock' and 2nd Studio Album 'Pink Tape' won Germany's 2014 Red Dot Design Award.[13]
Besides music activities, each member has participated in various other entertaining aspects such as acting and television hosting.

The group name originates from the mathematical notation for function,[14] which member Krystal defined as their aim to change and adapt into many situations.[15] Member Amber confessed that aside from f(x), they had attempts on other names like "flower".[15] The members are often nicknamed "function girls" with the fact that their name is a notation for function. Notably, the members' individual stage names replace the "x", sometimes written like: f(Victoria), f(Amber), f(Luna), f(Sulli), and f(Krystal), but to connote the entire group, they use f(x).[citation needed]
Casting and pre-debut[edit]
Krystal was first spotted by S.M. Entertainment in 2000 on a family visit to Korea, which earned her a small role in Shinhwa's "Wedding March (Neoui Gyeoteseo 2)" (너의 곁에서 2) music video.[16][17] Sulli debuted as a child actress in 2005 when she was selected to play young Princess Seonhwa of Silla in the SBS television drama, Ballad of Seo Dong.[18] In 2006, the agency recruited Luna after seeing her perform on the television program Truth Game.[19] Victoria was spotted by one of S.M. Entertainment's agents at a Beijing dance competition in September 2007, and later joined the company. Two months later, Amber was cast through S.M. Global Auditions in Los Angeles, California, where she and one other male signed a contract to become trainees.
2009: Debut with LA chA TA, Chu~♡ and start of popularity[edit]
f(x) was introduced as "Asia's Pop Dance Group" through a YouTube video teaser released on August 24, 2009.[20] For five days, S.M. revealed information about the group through news portals and posted photos of each member on their official website. Their debut single, "LA chA TA", was released on September 1, 2009.[3] Following their first performance at the Samseong-dong Fashion Center on September 2, 2009, the music video for the single was screened and released online.[21] The group's first broadcast performance of "LA chA TA" was held on the September 5, 2009 broadcast of MBC's Show! Music Core.[22]
In October, f(x) promoted the LG Chocolate cellphone alongside label mates Girls' Generation.[23] Both groups released their own rendition of the song "Chocolate Love", with f(x)'s being an electro-pop version, on October 8, 2009.[24] The group released their first physical single, "Chu~♥", on November 9, 2009,[4] and a month later they appeared as special guests at Girls' Generation's Into the New World concert held at the Olympic Fencing Gymnasium on December 19 and 20, 2009.[25]
The members of f(x) started gaining popularity as they show off a different fashion style, music and choreography. The members were also known like member Amber for her "(tom)boyish charm",[26] Krystal being Jessica's younger sister[27] and a similar facial feature of YoonA of Girls' Generation,[28] Sulli is known for her facial features, oftening mistaken as the group's youngest member/maknae, Victoria for her outstanding flexibility[29] and Luna for her vocal delivery and dancing skills, garnering the nickname "Mini BoA".
2010: NU ABO and rising popularity[edit]
In January 2010, f(x) collaborated with Chinese boy band M.I.C. to promote the LG Cyon cellphone. They released a Chinese cover of "Lollipop", written by Julius Dixson and Beverly Ross, on January 2, 2010. The group released their first extended play, Nu ABO, on May 4, 2010. Consisting of six tracks, the lead single "Nu ABO" topped various online music portal charts in Korea,[30] and also become one of the Gaon Chart's weekly number-one singles. The group held their first performance of the song on KBS's Music Bank on May 7, 2010.[31]
Amber went on hiatus in June due to an ankle injury, with remaining group activities of the year carried out without her. The group began performing "Mr. Boogie", from Nu ABO, on music shows starting on July 17, 2010. f(x) participated in the SMTown Live '10 World Tour on August 21, 2010, at the Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium. They also performed in Tokyo, Shanghai, Los Angeles, and Paris on later dates.[32] This marks the first time f(x) and their fellow label mates have performed outside of Asia. Avex Entertainment and SM Entertainment Japan released a statement about the renewal of the contracts of S.M. artists who were signed to the label on November 24, 2010. It stated that f(x) is now signed to Avex, and their albums will be released under the label in Japan, Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong.[33]
2011: Pinocchio, first win and Hot Summer[edit]
In early 2011, it was announced by S.M. Entertainment that f(x) were planning to release a studio album in the first half of the year.[34] Their member Amber had returned from the U.S. after her hiatus as well. The first teaser photo for their full-length studio album Pinocchio was released on April 7, 2011. The music video teaser for their lead single "Pinocchio (Danger)", was released on April 15, 2011. The album was released on April 20, 2011, and the group held their performance of the single on the April 22, 2011 broadcast of KBS's Music Bank. f(x) achieved eight wins with "Pinocchio (Danger)" on various music shows.
The group re-released their first full length album on June 14, 2011, under the title Hot Summer. The album came with the eleven original songs and the new track "Hot Summer", a remake of a Monrose song written by Thomas Troelsen and Remee,[35] and their previous digital singles "La Cha Ta", "Chu~♥" and "Is It Ok?".[36] In August 2011, f(x) released an OST song called "Garagabana" for the online game Bust-a-Move,[37] and in December 2011, they released an English song entitled "1, 2, 3" as part of the 2011 Winter SMTown – The Warmest Gift album.[38]

f(x) released their second EP titled Electric Shock on June 10, 2012,[39] after releasing a series of teaser images and a music teaser.[40] f(x) began promotions for "Electric Shock" starting on M! Countdown on June 14, 2012, where they also performed "Jet" as part of the special comeback stage. f(x) ended their promotions on July 15, 2012 achieving 9 musical wins, and began preparing for their Japanese debut. They released a Japanese remake of "Hot Summer" in mid-August, which was also selected as the commercial background song for Uminoie Resort.[41] In the beginning of October Avex announced that f(x)'s first Premium Showcase 1st Shock was postponed to an indefinite date. The date of the showcase was supposed to be on October 18 and 19 at the Zepp Tokyo.
Then on November 30, 2012, f(x) attended the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards in Hong Kong, where they have received an award of "Best Dance Performance - Female Group" for their latest single "Electric Shock". Then at the press conference for 10th Annual Korean Music Awards on January 29, 2013, it was announced that the songs "Electric Shock" and "Jet", both from their Electric Shock EP were nominated for Best Dance and Electronic Song. In regards to the two songs being nominated in the same category, a representative of the KMAs stated, "This is due to the corresponding songs having excellent music reviews and rather than disregarding them because it is from the same artist, we chose to recognize their excellence".[42][43]
2013: South by Southwest, Pink Tape and the first concert[edit]

In March, f(x) performed at the SXSW South By Southwest 2013, a festival held in Austin, Texas annually, being the first K-pop artist to perform there.[44] Fuse, an influential American music channel, listed f(x) as one of the "30 Must-See Acts" at the event."[45][46] While in the U.S., f(x) also flew to Los Angeles to practice choreography for their second album with Kevin Maher. Maher and Amber later tweeted pictures of them rehearsing. Maher's dance assistant, Sohey Sugihara, also posted pictures of him and Maher with f(x) on Instagram.[47] On their last day in the U.S., the group filmed a Funny or Die sketch with Anna Kendrick.[48] These events were documented and shown in Go f(x).[49]
Later in the year, f(x) performed at the Hong Kong Dome Festival on July 1.
On July 17, a vintage-styled 'art film' was uploaded on S.M. Entertainment's official YouTube channel, that signaled the group's comeback. The teaser video featured a preview of "Shadow" along with poetry narrated by the members of f(x). It also included edited clips of the behind the scenes showing the photo shoot for the album jacket of Pink Tape.[50]
Their second full-length album Pink Tape was then released on July 29, consisting of twelve original tracks and having Rum Pum Pum Pum as their lead single. The album peaked at the number one position on multiple music charts internationally, including Billboard,[51] Gaon[52] and Hanteo. f(x) began promotions for "Rum Pum Pum Pum" and "Pink Tape" starting with M! Countdown on July 25. Their showcase f(x) Music Spoiler - Play! Pink Tape was then held through Naver Music on July 29. They introduced and performed songs from their Pink Tape as well as unveiled the "Rum Pum Pum Pum" MV making-of clip. During the promotion cycle, f(x) also performed "Airplane" as a special stage on M! Countdown and Show Champion. Overall, they achieved four wins with "Rum Pum Pum Pum" on various music shows.[53][54]
During December, Fuse chose Pink Tape as one of the only K-POP albums for "The 41 Best Albums of 2013".[55] Rum Pum Pum Pum also ranked #3 on Billboard's "20 Best K-Pop Songs of 2013".[56] Later, f(x) and EXO held two joint concerts together, titled SMTOWN WEEK f(x) & EXO Christmas Wonderland, at KINTEX and Ilsan on December 24 and 25. f(x) showcased the group's previous hit songs and new tracks from the 2nd album "Pink Tape", including "Step" and "No More" as well as several other special performances with EXO.[57]
During various Chinese variety shows, f(x) has covered a popular classic Chinese song by Teresa Teng "Tian Mi Mi", singing their version in three different languages, Korean, Chinese, and English.[58]
2014–present: Red Light[edit]
Earlier in the year, f(x) grabbed home "The Group Artist" award at 20th Korean Entertainment Arts Awards,[59] "Disk Bonsang" at 28th Golden Disk Awards,[60] as well as "Best Overseas Artist Performance" at Yin Yue Feng Yun Bang Awards held in China.[61] During the Golden Disk Awards ceremony, Krystal, Luna and Amber did a cover of Girls' Generation's "The Boys".[62]
f(x)'s third studio album Red Light was released on July 7, 2014, consisting of 2 versions: Type A (Sleepy Cats) and Type B (Wild Cats).[63] Since its release, the album and lead single "Red Light" has topped all 9 music charts in South Korea. Besides the lead single, other tracks such as "Milk", "All Night", "Butterfly", "Paper Heart" and "Rainbow" also took up spots in the top 10 on Genie, Olleh and Bugs charts.[64] Red Light is of the electronic house genre with the meaningful message of if one stops for a bit, then one can enjoy the precious things in life. The album experiments with different sounds and has a total of eleven tracks.[65]
In regard to some mixed reviews regarding the album's dark and eerie concept, f(x) discussed that they themselves like new challenges and don't think of this comeback as "tough." Krystal further added that she likes this current concept because a lot of times she's given roles that make her look pretty, but just this once she wanted something that would make her look darker and different.[66]
Fuse TV described the group as the K-Pop's top hipsters,[67] having their "Red Light" music video reaching more than 2 million views on YouTube on first day.[1] The music video was also ranked as the most viewed K-pop videos in America and around the world during the month of July.[68]
On July 17, f(x) performed on MNet's M!Countdown without Sulli, with SM Entertainment saying that Sulli was sick and thus was unable to perform.[69] However, when Sulli did not appear in the next few Red Light promotions and f(x)'s Korean promotion schedule was abruptly cleared for the rest of the month, it led to speculation that Sulli would be leaving the group (or that the group itself would be disbanding).[70]
On July 24, SM Entertainment posted an official statement on the group's homepage, stating that due to Sulli becoming "mentally and physically exhausted from the continuous, malicious comments and false rumors" that has been spread about her in the past year,[71] she is now taking a temporary hiatus from the entertainment industry, though she still remains a member of the group.[72][73] The remaining members would now focus on their solo activities and continue any group activities without Sulli for the time being.[74] During August, Pitchfork listed "Shadow", "Rum Pum Pum Pum", and "Red Light" as part of the best 20 essential K-pop songs in recent years,[75][76] and SM Entertainment has taken 8 awards home from Germany's 2014 Red Dot Design Awards; one award was for Pink Tape and another was for Electric Shock.[77]

H-P Buying Software Specialist Ibrix
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is buying privately held software specialist Ibrix for an undisclosed fee, as the tech giant bolsters its storage strategy.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based firm is touting Ibrix's file-serving software as a way for users to get their arms around vast quantities of data, something that's a major headache for chief information officers. Ibrix's Fusion software, for example, lets users quickly add capacity by building clusters of storage, and is already used by big names such as Disney (DIS), DreamWorks (DWA) and JP Morgan Chase. "Customers need highly scalable storage solutions that efficiently and cost-effectively manage massive amounts of information," said Jeff Hausman, vice president unified storage at H-P's StorageWorks division, in a statement.
H-P, which competes with EMC (EMC), NetApp (NTAP), and IBM (IBM), clearly has its eye on the cloud storage market, which will require extremely large-capacity systems that can be quickly scaled up and down.
Storage, although hardly the sexiest technology, has been grabbing its share of the headlines recently. Last week, for example, EMC finally won a tug of love with NetApp to acquire Data Domain (DDUP), and the technology is expected to be one of the first areas to rebound as the tech sector emerges from the recession.H-P's storage revenue declined 22% year-over-year in its recent second quarter results, so it makes sense for the firm to beef up this part of its product portfolio, which offers higher gross margins than its server business. With one-time partner Cisco (CSCO) now challenging H-P's server business with its Unified Computing System, the tech giant has been circling its wagons and seeking out opportunities to launch its own attack. Earlier this year, for example, H-P launched its BladeSystem Matrix, essentially a rack packed full of storage, server and networking gear.

Slideshow: City officials who are developing a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan take a three-hour tour on bikes to learn how Long Beach has introduced bicycle-friendly features on its streets and is changing its transportation culture.
San Clemente aims to use lessons learned in Long Beach to help make the streets of San Clemente much more bicycle-friendly.
The city is developing a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan 12 years after Long Beach wrote its own Bicycle Master Plan and began to carry it out. Last weekend, some officials from San Clemente, a beach town of 63,000 residents, took a three-hour guided bicycle tour of Long Beach, a city of 460,000 people that a metal sculpture at City Hall bills as the "most bicycle-friendly city in America."
"With proper planning, a city can certainly become more both bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly," San Clemente Mayor Jim Evert said after the 11½-mile tour. "We need to be sure that multimodal transportation becomes a focus of the city. I was super impressed with what they've done up there."
Charlie Gandy, Long Beach's mobility adviser, showed the visitors what he described as:
• Southern California's first separated bike facility, where three lanes of a one-way street are reduced to two, giving bicyclists a wide protected lane. It goes 1½ miles on one street and 1½ miles the opposite direction on a parallel street.
• A bicycle lane painted green and marked with "sharrows" occupying the right lane on each side of a four-lane street in the popular Belmont Shore commercial district. It serves to slow traffic and make a statement to motorists that the road is to be shared and to watch for bikes. Cars can make limited use of the green lanes.
• A 1½-mile "bike boulevard" through a residential neighborhood that has three schools. Roundabouts at intersections slow cars.
• 1,300 bike racks placed around town, the first of an eventual 2,000
• Bike corrals, each of which can replace one parallel parking space in a business district with a metal rack that can hold 14 bicycles
• A "parklet" where a restaurant with an outdoor dining permit was allowed to build a dining deck over what had been 1½ parking spaces. That space now has capacity to seat 20 patrons and park 20 bikes.
• A membership "Bikestation" that offers bicycle commuters a safe place to store bikes. It also provides showers, lockers, repairs, rentals and more.
• "Bike-share" lockers at City Hall that store bikes for city employees to use
• A beach trail with separate lanes for bikes and pedestrians. The city plans to build another running and walking path 15 feet to the side of the paved path for exclusive use by pedestrians.
Gandy told San Clemente officials that Long Beach has obtained grants to pay for many of the projects. In some cases, the city copied other cities' innovations (the parklet from San Francisco, the green lanes from Salt Lake City) and in some cases introduced new ideas.

There Were 242 Penalty Minutes in Last Night's Sound Tigers Game (Video)
Kevin Schultz
The Sound Tigers lost 5-2 to Springfield last night, but that's not necessarily going to be the newsmaking headline when there were 242 penalty minutes combined between the two teams. Here's the full highlight video, with the fights starting around the 3:00 mark.
At the 3:30 mark, a 5-on-5 brawl breaks out off the faceoff. Mike Fornabaio at the CT Post breaks down the action: To read more of this story, click here

Two people were injured Thursday morning when a private ambulance was involved in a crash on the Near West Side.
The crash, involving a Lifeline ambulance, happened just after 11 a.m. at Western Avenue and Jackson Boulevard, said Larry Langford, Chicago Fire Department spokesman.
Two Chicago Fire Department ambulances responded and once firefighters extricated them from the crash, two people — ages and conditions not yet known — were taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, Langford said.
Unconfirmed dispatch reports said the victims were in serious to critical condition, while two other people refused hospital transport.

LOS ANGELES, December 31, 2013 — As the world turn the page on the year 2013, The Washington Times Communities would like to turn the page on some of the darker stains upon the sports world from last year. Here is the list of the five worst things that happened and in sports in 2013.
5. Miami Dolphins Bullying — Jonathan Martin abruptly left the Miami Dolphins in October, citing bullying from Ritchie Incognito as the main reason. The details surrounding the situation remain somewhat murky, but threatening texts from Incognito to Martin were released. Both players missed the remainder of the season as a result. Nothing has been resolved for 2014 either.
SEE RELATED: Winter escape to Rancho Pescadero in Baja California Sur, Mexico
4. Biogenesis Scandal — In January, the steroid monster came rearing its ugly head in the world of Major League Baseball as a list with names of current MLB stars was leaked to the Miami New Times. The names included current MLB super stars Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and Nelson Cruz. All of the players named accepted their punishment, except Alex Rodriguez. A ruling Alex Rodriguez' appeal of his suspension from an arbitrator is expected in January.
3. Aaron Hernandez — The tight end for the New England Patriots was charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd in June. In August, a grand jury indicted Hernandez and heis currently awaiting his trial. He has entered a not guilty plea.
2. Oscar Pistorius — An inspiration to many, Oscar Pistorius was the first double-amputee to participate in the Summer Olympics in 2012. In February, Pistorius was arrested and charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Police say Steenkamp was shot by Pistorius in his home. A trial date is set for March 2014.
1. Boston Marathon Bombings — In April, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev set off two bombs made out of pressure cookers near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring over 250 other people. A manhunt followed resulting in the death of Tamerlan and arrest of Dzhokhar, who has plead not guilty and is awaiting trial.

3M And ECOPRO Complete NMC Patent License Agreement
3M and Korea-based ECOPRO have entered into a patent license agreement that aims at further expanding the use of Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) cathode materials in lithium ion batteries. Under the agreement, 3M grants a license to US6964828, US7078128, US8241791 and all global equivalents.
The cathode compositions composed of Nickel, Manganese and Cobalt offer an outstanding balance of power, energy, thermal stability and low cost. NMC cathode materials can be tailored through changes in composition and morphology to meet a wide range of demanding customer requirements from high energy handheld consumer electronics to high power (hybrid) electric vehicles. For large format battery applications, the excellent thermal stability of NMC cathode compositions contributes to an improved battery safety performance and can contribute to lower total battery system costs.
"We are pleased to have reached this agreement with 3M, and we are very excited about the customer solutions ECOPRO can offer using the newly licensed NMC compositions," said Mr. Dong-Che Lee, CEO of ECOPRO. "The compositions can be particularly beneficial in emerging applications for lithium ion batteries in the transportation and grid energy storage markets."
"The compositions described in these patents will enable battery customers to further reduce cost and minimize materials cost fluctuations that are typical with higher cobalt cathode compositions," said Christian Milker, Business Manager, 3M Electronics Markets Materials Division. "This agreement with ECOPRO will accelerate the market adaptation of the technology and enhance our ability to meet the rapidly growing needs of lithium ion battery manufacturers."About 3M3M captures the spark of new ideas and transforms them into thousands of ingenious products. Its culture of creative collaboration inspires a never-ending stream of powerful technologies that make life better. 3M is the innovation company that never stops inventing. With $30 billion in sales, 3M employs 88,000 people worldwide and has operations in more than 70 countries. For more information, visit www.3M.com or follow @3MNews on Twitter. About ECOPROEcopro Corporation is a worldwide leader in the development and manufacture of battery materials for a wide range of consumer, business, and industrial needs. Based in Ochang, Cheongwon, Chungbuk, South Korea, the company recorded consolidated net sales of 80 billion won (US$ 75million) for the year ended Dec 31, 2012.

Having trouble deciding which accelerated program to attend: Drexel University, Duque - page 2
I have recently been accepted to the ACE Nursing Program at Drexel University and Duquesne Universitys 2nd Degree Nursing Program. I am having a hard time deciding between these programs. If anyone has graduated from these... Read More
- 0Mar 3, '11 by tscharfI agree with JDU4 about Dr. Kuhns. I spoke to her several times last fall to confirm what classes I still needed to take and she was very helpful. I would also make sure you are comfortable with whatever campus you choose - I'm not big on cities, so Drexel would definitely not be a good fit for me. (Not judging Drexel, just don't like cities!)
JDU4 - I look forward to meeting you in the fall! :-)
- 0Mar 8, '11 by jasjasQuote from blb5103Hey! Hope your interview went well.Hello -
I have an interview at Robert Morris on Wednesday. This program is likely my top choice; however, there may be issue with completing my prereqs.
I'm unsure what to tell Penn State Altoona. I have to make a decision by March 4th - very soon. Some of the stories on here that are consistent with my experiences so far concern me.
Do you have any advice for the interview. I am scheduled for one next Tuesday - this is the only program I have an interview with so far, and I really don't want to blow it! Any advice/hints would really give me some assurance!
- 0Mar 9, '11 by blb5103jajas-
I'm assuming your interview is with Anne? She is so super nice and you have nothing to worry about. I would say 90% of the interview is her telling you about the program and the two of you going over what needs to be done before you begin the program. You have no reason to be nervous.
I will be attending the program as long as I get the prereqs completed so maybe I will see you in the fall! The program really impressed me and the people there are great. Not to mention, I am more comfortable with the location and the program length compared to that of Drexel's.
Good Luck
- 0Mar 9, '11 by blb5103JDU4 and Latin Dancer,
Thank you for your help! My main concerns about Drexel are definantly the program length and the class size. I've read mixed feelings about Altoona's program, although I have seen a lot more positive comments lately, so hopefully the kinks of the new program are worked out!
I did decline PSU Altoona. I had a completely different experience with Dr. Kuhn, although I never met with her in person, which I am sure makes a big difference. Robert Morris is looking promising for me, and is my top choice, so I am excited to get started.
Good Luck to both of you and thank you for your input!
I apologize for the slow response.Last edit by blb5103 on Mar 9, '11
- 0Mar 16, '11 by jasjas@ blbl5103 -
Hey thanks for the feedback! I've been accepted, and I believe I am in the same boat as you - i have 2 prereqs pending at the moment. So hopefully i'll be able to get those aside during the summer and officially start in the fall! If you don't mind, which prereqs do you have yet to complete?

I have no problem with GIT, or SVN, and really would like to use GIT more. However I've not seen an eclipse plugin for GIT, and the SVN plugin seems to work well (we use it at work), and I think it has more acceptance by a larger amount of developers.
However if we stay with SVN, Linus Torvalds will think we are "ugly and stupid".

Hello :)
It has been mention a few times that the AbstractServiceTracker limits user applications in that inheritance imposes a specific structure.

Topic: BUG SDK / Latest SDK and Virtual BUG source availableHere's a quick writeup on how to get the source and docs into eclipse so that the Eclipse's context-sensitive documentation kicks in:
Setting up Subclipse
Since we're dealing with a subversion repository, and Eclipse doesn't have "built-in" SVN support (only CVS), we're going to need to install the de-facto standard plugin for handling the BUG source, Subclipse.
- Open Help -> Software Update -> Find And Install like you did when you were installing the Dragonfly SDK. Choose "Search for new features" and add a new remote update site to the list. The name doesn't matter, as long as you can identify it as the Subclipse repository in the future. The URL for this new update site is:
- Go ahead and let it snag the information from this update site. When it's done, it'll ask you what you'd like to install from Subclipse; ignore the Integrations and just go straight for the Subclipse plugin.
- Click through the license agreements and let Eclipse restart itself when when the plugin's done installing.
When Eclipse comes back up, you should now have SVN support enabled.
Importing the SDK source and docs
- Head up to File -> Import. There'll be a new entry on your list, under Other, called Checkout Projects from SVN. Hit it.
- Since you don't have any repositories defined yet, you'll need to set one up. Click through to the Select/Create Location dialog and point it at
- It'll talk to the internets for a second or two and ask you which folder you want. Highlight "trunk" and hit next.
- Choose what you'll call the source (I left it as "trunk") and check out the Head Revision unless you know for sure you need another version of the source. Click through.
- Point it at the same workspace that you're doing BUG development in and hit Finish.
It'll chug for a few minutes while it downloads a bunch of stuff from bugblade.com. If all goes well, you'll end up with a new non-BUG project in your current workspace that consists of all the source you just snagged. Eclipse is smart enough to use the javadoc in this for context-sensitive documentation.

Topic: Applications / Scripting the BUGI know I promised this a while ago, but I finally got my Jython BUG application documented and ready for BUGnet. Here it is: http://buglabs.net/application/show/22. It's called JythonGps.
Please check it out. If you're into Python or Jython, definitely take a look. Perhaps you can think of a different or better way to get Python on the BUG. Or perhaps you can use this method to make an application that we've never seen before. I am interested in seeing something unique that would be difficult to do in Java.

2009 Chrysler Town & Country
Choose Chrysler Town & Country Style:
C/D Overview:
These minivans (Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan) do what minivans do best--haul people, their families, and their stuff--well, but their overall refinement and dynamics can't match the leaders in the segment. A Dodge Grand Caravan finished in third behind the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey in the latest comparo.
Base Price: $27,160 - $37,600
Incredibly versatile seating and interior; entertainment choices galore, including TV.
Boxy styling, subpar interior materials, can't match the Honda Odyssey dynamically.
What's New
Introduced for 2008; 2009 models can now add blind-spot monitoring, and a sport-tuned suspension is new for the Dodge Caravan SXT with the 4.0-liter V-6.
Behind The Wheel
Its a minivan, but 4.0-liter offers quickness.

Beverly Hills Cop
Description: What's that wisecracking young black guy (Eddie Murphy) in that beat-up Chevy Nova doing in lily-white Beverly Hills? He's Axel Foley, a Detroit detective who's been sent on involuntary vacation because he refuses to drop his intention of avenging his friend's murder. Warned by Beverly Hills police chief Ronny Cox to stay out of trouble, Foley nonetheless dogs the trail of above-the-law Steven Berkoff, the British crime czar who was responsible for the murder of Foley's friend. With the help of sympathetic local cops Judge Reinhold and John Ashton and lady friend Lisa Eilbacher, Foley attempts to corner Berkoff in his mansion, which leads to a wild slapsticky shootout.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

PARTIAL refunds on ZEN products
I originally started the two following threads
before I realized that both underlying problems are the same. Sorry for not posting it in the right discussion. This post is not supposed to be a double post.
The problem is like this:
1) You cannot return ZEN products like ships, bridges, outfit etc. etc. I really hate having stuff in my inventory that I no longer use but cannot really get rid of. I want to be able to dump the old stuff in the sense that you yield the "right of ownership". I'm talking about a return policy that allows you to part from unwanted items once and for all without the possibility of reclaiming.
2) In return for terminating the "right of ownership", the player should receive a !!!PARTIAL!!! refund. By partial, I mean e.g. 10% of original ZENs or Dillithium or EC or anything. For me that is important because I don't want to have the feeling that I have spent ZEN on nothing when I throw things out of the window.
3) I do hope that Cryptic makes cash to continue the game. That's why I am proposing a PARTIAL refund. A little ZEN, Dillithium or EC would give me the motivation to part from old junk. I would buy new products that I would not consider under the current policy, because some of the new products have a tendency to replace the older ones and I do not want to make things I once bought obsolete. I think in the end Cryptic would actually cash in multiple times: I bought the first product, terminate it and get a minimal refund then buy the newer version...repeat until done.

Just has to be black and white, doesn't it?

Hi Bren and Bill,
Thanks both for taking the time to let me know your opinions.
I think it looks more atmospheric in black & white. I wanted to portray the feeling of confinement you get when you walk through the door to that place. Urghhhh - just got shivers down my spine!!!

Hi Philip and Pink,
Thanks for your comments - looks like mono was a good call.
Glad you like it.

I've looked at this quite a few times, Elaine, and am now convinced that you considered your composition extremely well and produced an exceptional image that does convey the idea of incarceration. You have included strong lines, grids and a nice curve to break up the straight lines, and have a strong dark foreground area behind which is a lighter one, and this is so effective, giving a lot of depth to the image, and by using a vertical format, a lot of height as well. You have cleverly placed the foreground stairs symmetrically in the frame, and those stairs lead the viewer's eye into and through the image so perfectly.
I usually go for colour and do like your original version, especially the touches of blue throughout. But I admit that mono works well here, and also aids in the atmosphere that you wish to create.

Hi Pamela,
Thanks for giving so much time and also for your great critique.
When I walked into the prison this was the first scene that caught my eye, and like you described I was struck with the lines and curves. I knew the scene had the potential for a good shot and I'm so pleased that I've done it justice.
I like the colour version too, but think that the mono version just edges it because of the purpose of the building.
Thanks again

.- The president of the Christian Liberation Movement, Oswaldo Paya, said a letter has been sent to the Cuban National Congress calling for the approval of a new electoral law allowing Cubans to run for political office and have free elections, instead of the current system that only allows one candidate to run.
Current law only allows one candidate to run per open seat at the local and national levels, "and therefore voters are not really electing." Paya noted that only the regime's Commission of Candidacies can nominate contenders for political office.
The dissident leader stressed that the Cuban people seek peaceful political change and that for this reason their rights and faculties need to be guaranteed. The electoral laws and the elections process are where "this right to sovereignty" is either whisked away or fulfilled, Paya said.
"On the one hand, the law is filled with contradictions with the constitution itself and with the right to sovereignty which resides in the people, on the other hand the atmosphere of intolerance and the lack of respect for freedom and civil and political rights make it impossible for the electoral process to be truly democratic," he continued.
The CLM called on all Cubans to support the demand for new electoral laws, in an atmosphere in which there is respect for the freedom of expression and the right to participate in the life of the country—rights for which "many Cubans are unjustly imprisoned."
The CLM first called for election reform on December 10, 1997. On May 10, 2002, the organization presented the "Varela Project," which proposed a referendum for change in Cuba. More than 11,000 signed a petition supporting the idea. On October 3, 2003, the Varela Project was presented to the government again, this time with an additional 14,000 signatures.

Puella Mamam...... Pulla Maga... Plama Maka... PMMM Portable is a Licensed Game for Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It was released on the PSP March 15th, 2012, and was published by Namco Bandai. It has heavy involvement from the anime cast; Gen Urobuchi is supervising the scenario, while Studio SHAFT and Gekidan InuCurry are providing visual designs.The game is part first-person Roguelike dungeon crawler and part Visual Novel. The player controls the magical girls while they navigate witches' labyrinths and fight off familiars. In between dungeons, the choices made by the player can affect the characters' fighting abilities and alter the anime's story. For example, it is possible to change the events of Episode 3. The player can select commands for both Kyubey and Homura and play from the viewpoint of both characters.The game is notable for including a number of elements absent from the anime, such as a Transformation Sequence for Madoka and witches that were only mentioned on the anime's website.A Fan Translation project has been initiated here.In December 2013 an Actionized Sequel of sorts was released for the PS Vita. Entitled Puella Magi Madoka Magica - The Battle Pentagram, it re-uses many of the same elements as Portable but trades the Roguelike gameplay for Hack and Slash.

Big Risks to Your Health
The biggest risk to anyone's health is largely poor lifestyle choices. The big diseases resulting from these are cardiovascular disease, various cancers, obesity, diabetes and chronic lung disease (COPD). All of the above diseases can significantly shorten your life or more significantly reduce the quality of your remaining years. We are now seeing children and teenagers with diabetes due to obesity stemming from childhood. Traditionally, people would go to the doctor if they were sick but investing some time and energy in preventive health and check-ups can reap rewards.

Virtualizing a Physical Ubuntu Server
Now that I have a Xen host server up and running, what is the best way to move a physical machine over to the Xen host?
I have seen that there is the migrate command. But that appears to move a VM from one host to another.
I thought maybe it is as simple as just copying the folders over one at a time. But I am not sure that would work since I would imagine the /boot folder would be different. Then there are differences in hardware between the two machines as well.
Any suggestions? Otherwise, I will just have to build a similar setup as a VM and move the data files over.
