I do see her character being used too often for the sake of Jr.
I mean, if she really needs to, she can pull a house out from under her skirt. How many times has she dodged crazy situations because of her abysmally deep pantline? I want to say at least two. Once during training with the Vampire, another while fighting with Mandy. That's just from off the top of my head.

But that's because Mandy has even more plot armor than Mimi is badass.

Just be careful pear. You can get warned just by annoying the wrong mod. Experience. In a forums where the slope is that slippery, it's safest to keep your meddling hands in your damned pockets.

Use your favourite RSS aggregator to stay in touch with the latest commands. There are feeds mirroring the 3 Twitter streams as well as for virtually every other subset (users, tags, functions,…):
Subscribe to the feed for:
Sort ls output of all files in current directory in ascending order
Just the 20 biggest ones:
ls -la | sort -k 5bn | tail -n 20
A variant for the current directory tree with subdirectories and pretty columns is:
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -la | sort -k 5bn | column -t
And finding the subdirectories consuming the most space with displayed block size 1k:
du -sk ./* | sort -k 1bn | column -t
just change the date following the -r flag, and/or the user name in the user== conditional statement, and substitute yms_web with the name of your module
Lists revisions in a Subversion repository with a timestamp that doesn't follow the revision numbering order. If everything is OK, nothing is displayed.
Print out list of all branches with last commit date to the branch, including relative time since commit and color coding.
This appends a random number as a first filed of all lines in SOMEFILE then sorts by the first column and finally cuts of the random numbers.
Change ~/tmp to the destination directory, such as your mounted media. Change -n20 to whatever number of files to copy. It should quit when media is full. I use this to put my most recently downloaded podcasts onto my phone.
This works on my ubuntu/debian machines.
I suspect other distros need some tweaking of sort and cut.
I am sure someone could provide a shorter/faster version.
This prints a summary of your referers from your logs as long as they occurred a certain number of times (in this case 500). The grep command excludes the terms, I add this in to remove results Im not interested in.
This command might not be useful for most of us, I just wanted to share it to show power of command line.
Download simple text version of novel David Copperfield from Poject Gutenberg and then generate a single column of words after which occurences of each word is counted by sort | uniq -c combination.
This command removes numbers and single characters from count. I'm sure you can write a shorter version.
Written for linux, the real example is how to produce ascii text graphs based on a numeric value (anything where uniq -c is useful is a good candidate).
This command puts all the flags of the USE variable actually used by the packages you emerged to the file "use", and those which are unused but available to the file "notuse"
If you're like me and want to keep all your music rated, and you use xmms2, you might like this command.
I takes 10 random songs from your xmms2 library that don't have any rating, and adds them to your current playlist. You can then rate them in another xmms2 client that supports rating (I like kuechenstation).
I'm pretty sure there's a better way to do the grep ... | sed ... part, probably with awk, but I don't know awk, so I'd welcome any suggestions.
For users looking to simplify management of large entries in files and directories, this command is the key to fun and simplicity. Using the power sort, only a couple of seconds are necessary to accomplish what would take minutes or hours in ?standard? client applications.
It will return a ranked list of your most commonly-entered commands using your command history
This command will show the 20 processes using the most CPU time (hungriest at the bottom).
You can see the 20 most memory intensive processes (hungriest at the bottom) by running:
ps aux | sort +3n | tail -20
Or, run both:
echo "CPU:" && ps aux | sort +2n | tail -20 && echo "Memory:" && ps aux | sort +3n | tail -20
Searches /var/log/secure for smtp connections then lists these by number of connections made and hosts.
Searches the /var/log/secure log file for Failed and/or invalid user log in attempts.
This command will tell you the 20 biggest directories starting from your working directory and skips directories on other filesystems. Useful for resolving disk space issues.

Research Interests
For the past several years I have coordinated a research effort into the study of mineral structures and behaviors, with a focus on environmentally significant minerals. Mineral groups such as clays, manganese oxides and iron oxides tend to accumulate in soils and sediments and on rock surfaces where they interact directly with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Many of these minerals are chemically active, readily participating in oxidation-reduction reactions, serving as cation-exchange agents, and absorbing a variety of heavy metal cations, and many form as a result of biological mediation. They typically are fine-grained, and consequently even small quantities exhibit large surface areas and can significantly affect the chemistry of the local environment. Many of the phases and their synthetic analogues are also subjects of intense research as possible catalysts, battery materials and chemical sieves for a variety of industrial and pollution abatement applications. Their fine-grained nature has made it difficult to study the structures and behaviors of these minerals using traditional laboratory methods. We have taken advantage of recent advances in powder and single-crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction, as well as a variety of spectroscopic and sophisticated computer modeling procedures to attempt to provide a first order understanding of the structure and chemical properties of many of these phases.
Recent research activities
During the past three years, we have bee successful with two proposals for beam time at the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory. The very specialized instrumentation permits real-time X-ray diffraction studies of dehydration and cation-exchange reactions for manganese oxides and clay minerals. One result of our studies has been the discovery of a manganese oxide mineral having a new structure type with huge tunnels; it is being investigated as a prototype for a new class of catalysts and molecular sieves.
During the past year David Mckeown and I completed our study of manganese oxide dendrites and manganese-rich desert varnishes that coat many of the rock surfaces in southwestern United States and other arid regions. Previous attempts to characterize these materials using TEM and X-ray diffraction have been unsuccessful because the samples tend to be very poorly crystalline mixtures. During the past two years we completed two very successful EXAFS experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory, resulting in data for approximately 50 samples, including dendrites, desert varnish, and standards. The paper describing this work was published earlier this year in "American Mineralogist". I was also asked to give an invited talk on this work at this year's Goldschmidt Conference.

We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: The Promise of Civic Renewal in America
Chronic unemployment, deindustrialized cities, and mass incarceration are among the grievous social problems that will not yield unless American citizens address them. Peter Levine's We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For (2013) is a primer for anyone motivated to help revive our fragile civic life and restore citizens' public role. After offering a novel theory of active citizenship, a diagnosis of its decline, and a searing critique of our political institutions, Levine — one of America's most influential civic engagement theorists — argues that American […] (continue)

Obama proclaims an end to Bush's regime-change doctrine
His Cairo speech asserted that a country should not impose its system of government upon another.
Tucked inside President Obama's 55-minute speech Thursday to the world's Muslims were four paragraphs that laid out his approach to democracy.
His message? America recognizes a universal yearning for the right to self-government, but regime change in democracy's name is over.
"No system of government can or should be imposed by one nation on any other," Mr. Obama said.
That premise distances the president from the controversial doctrines of the Bush administration and reestablishes a more traditional approach to encouraging democracy. Critics called it a a cheap crowd-pleaser that misrepresented the reasons the US invaded Iraq.
Presidents at least since Harry Truman have encouraged democratic change and applied pressure to bring it about. But use of force to achieve that end was rare.
Obama "is trying to set the restart button somewhere back before George W. Bush," says Thomas Carothers, a democratization expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. "This is a post-Bush recalibration."
But others say Obama's statement carries the whiff of an apology for the Iraq invasion, which encourages an incorrect stereotype about US action under President Bush.

Horst Fascher, who managed the Star Club at the time and who was one of the Beatles biggest boosters during their Hamburg days, concurs. "The last time John Lennon left Hamburg," Fascher recollects with a laugh, "in the spring of 1962, he said to me, 'The next time we come back here, you'll have to roll out the red carpet for us.' I said, 'Fuck you, red carpet.' No one could imagine what would happen."
The magnitude of their success was more than the Beatles could fathom. "I can go back to when Ringo said to me, 'You know what, man, this is incredible A I'm going to be able to buy two hairdressing salons,'" Young illustrates. "That was a big deal to him. No one anticipated what would happen. So I knew there was something special, but for some reason I declined, and Ringo, who was our [the Beat Brothers'] drummer at the time, went back to London with them. And then of course I just saw this thing, just an explosion. It freaked me out, to say the least."
Even today, 33 years after he turned down Epstein's offer to make it a Fab Five, Young has not come to terms completely with his fateful decision. He doesn't really bang his head on the wall every night. But it rankles him that he has been, in his words, "written out of history." Any self-respecting Beatlemaniac can tell you about Pete Best; and now, thanks to the 1993 film Backbeat, even casual fans of the moptops know the tragic story of the group's original bassist, Stu Sutcliffe. But few know how close the world came to seeing a beaming, pompadoured Roy Young tickling the ivories for the Liverpudlians on The Ed Sullivan Show.
"Paul always wanted me to be a part of the band because I sounded like Little Richard," claims Young, who, off-stage, looks and sounds more like a mild-mannered, middle-age British schoolteacher than a howlin', wailin', piano-bangin' fool.
But Dave McAleer takes Young's story with a grain of salt. "I hadn't heard that," he notes. "Of the timing, he'd be there at the right time. But you couldn't see it being a plus [for the Beatles]. Perhaps, musically, but you wouldn't have him on-stage with them because he was a couple years their senior and had been around. It might just be the sort of story he likes to tell, because he was there at the time."
But Star Club manager Horst Fascher emphatically endorses Young's assertion. "I was there that day when Brian Epstein asked Roy Young to go back to England with the Beatles," Fascher testifies. "They were only a guitar band and they were thinking to add a keyboard player to make a fuller sound."
While Young does not know McAleer, he has heard such skepticism before. It makes him all the more eager to set the record straight about who ruled the Reeperbahn during the glory days. "I was the one who pioneered all that," claims Young. "I was at the Top Ten Club [a converted strip bar that was Hamburg's most popular rock music club] when Manfred Weissleder, a very wealthy man who owned most of the Reeperbahn, came to me and said, 'Roy, I'd love for you to come over. I'm gonna start a nightclub [the Star Club] and I'd like you to come over and run it for me.' Book all the artists, play there, whatever. He said, 'Money's no object. You name it. Whatever you want, you've got it.' It was an offer I couldn't refuse. At the Top Ten Club I followed the Beatles after Stu Sutcliffe had left. I didn't know who the Beatles were, although every night people would ask me to play a Beatles tune, play something by the Beatles, and I wondered, 'What is this Beatles shit?' I went in there [the Top Ten] for a month, then three months, and then Peter Eckhorn, the owner, offered me a lifetime contract. His exact words were, 'Roy, I'd love you to stay and play for me until you're a very old man.' I felt so bad to tell him I was going with Manfred, but the money was just too good. Peter couldn't come close."
Ian Hunter does not doubt for a second that Epstein asked Roy to join the Beatles, and provides some insight into Young's state of mind at the time of his ill-fated career choice. "The Star Club was like a home away from home for a lot of [British] bands," recalls Hunter. "Horst paid well. A lot of clubs you'd get ripped off, but that place was always all right. Hamburg was a rock and roll town. Still is. There's not many of 'em left. The whole area around the Reeperbahn was a big sort of ideal rock and roll community A strippers, gays, dykes, transvestites, hookers, artists. Most of the guys in those days lived with strippers. The girls made quite a lot of money, and they would pay for everything. It was like one big party.

Amidst the feline army, I curled up on the sofa this afternoon, to finally finish reading Lucienne Roberts' publication GOOD: An Introduction to Ethics in Graphic Design, 2006.
An interesting read that presents a selection of opinions, from Ken Garland, Simon Eterson, Thomas Matthews, Deborah Szebeko of the magnificent ThinkPublic, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville and Pat Kahn to Daniel Eatock.
Truthfully, I was particularly taken by the inside front cover [of all things] - which captures an extensive collection of books and CDs, that [I can only imagine] are a selection of resources Roberts used as research for the discussion. Admittedly, to me, this image was the most personal visual used in the book - an authors touch that visually frames an introduction to the complex subject that is design ethics and [creative] social responsibility.
Starting at the beginning of 'Early Civilisation' (p.21), Roberts takes the discussion through History, Philosophy (p.34), Law (p.44) and Politics (p.58), to a series of discussions with a collection of credible designers (p.113-192) - ultimately questioning what it means to be a "good designer". I was taken by Paula Scher's response, to which she responded: "I don't understand how the word good is used here. Am I a well-behaved Graphic Designer? Am I socially conscious designer?"
For all designers interested in their work being more ethically or socially responsible, this introductory text offers plentiful food for thought over what is really takes to be a "good designer". The text is a great introduction to design ethics, that I feel, should be mandatory reading for todays designers and undergraduates alike.
On the topic of designer ethics, I came across an interesting article entitled In Search of Ethics in Graphic Design, 2004 by Paul Nini, which I would also recommend reading.

Quirky News
Cops nearly hit by car hidden by foam
Two police officers had a shock in Australia - when they were nearly hit by a car emerging from foam whipped up by a tropical storm.
A passer-by captured the bizarre incident on his smartphone and uploaded it to YouTube where it has received more than 200,000 views.
See the video here - WARNING contains swearing.
It happened on the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane in Queensland, which was blanketed with foam from cyclone Oswald, reports the Courier-Mail.
Local man Michael Bell said he had taken his sister down to the foreshore to see the phenomenon when the car suddenly appeared.
"It was unbelievable... That car was probably parked under the foam and they'd had to drive it out," he said.
Mr Bell said two police officers were standing on the road, helping to close it down, as a bus approached.
"We just thought the bus was pushing a wave of foam - we didn't even know the car was there," he said.
"It was a shock to everyone. Luckily the police officers managed to get out of the way.
"I showed the footage to the two officers and the one who pushed the other out of the way thought he was pretty famous."

Historically America sometimes has a penchant for persecution of crimes under the guise of guilty until proven innocent particularly when it comes to those of color. The Scottsboro Boys, Emmett Till, and one of the saddest cases in U.S. history George Stinney (he was the youngest person put to death in U.S. history at 14) are all situations where young black men had their lives taken because of faulty police work, kangaroo courts, and outright racism. One of common factors in these cases is that all the men were wrongly accused of assaulting, raping, or murder white women. Now all of those cases and many like those happened during the post-slavery and Jim Crown era. People want to believe that America has reconciled some of those past demons but in Ken Burns' documentary The Central Park 5 he shows us that we haven't gotten as far as we believe.
Documentarian Ken Burns' The Central Park 5 follows the infamous New York jogger case. This case surrounded 5 Harlem black and Puerto-Rican boys who were accused of the attempted murder, rape, and sodomy of Trisha Melli a white woman jogging in Central Park. The boys continually denied their guilt and even though DNA proved they weren't attacked. The only evidence the state of New York had on the boys was an illegally coerced videotaped confessions. The District Attorney Linda Fairstein even without the DNA evidence wanted to press forward with the basis for her case being on the confession tapes. All 5 boys ranging in ages of 14-16 were ultimately convicted of the charges and spent 7-13 years in jail. After serving long prison stints and registered as sex offenders all the boys were finally exonerated or released from prison when the real attacker Matias Reyes confessed to the crime in 2002.
Ken Burns' documentary has gotten a lot of praises and accolades the past few months and I was challenged by a reader to do a review of the documentary since it premiered on PBS this past week. Growing up in the Midwest I don't remember much about this case being reported while I was growing but I am glad I sat down to learn about this story. The documentary was a very emotional experience for me so much so that I had to stop watching at many points and watching something else like Louis C.K.'s new stand up or Martin. There were so many ranges of emotions I went through in the documentary as I can feel their sadness, pain, and anger as they told their story. The Central Park 5 (Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Yusef Salaam, and Kharey Wise) each individually tell their story of the nights events. The viewer cannot help to see the pain in each other faces telling about their experience in the police station, incarceration, and missing out on their childhood. This is probably was one of the jewels of the documentary in its ability to show human pain.
The documentary was able to capture so many aspects of the case to make you empathetic to what happen to the boys. Seeing how the media, society, and the New York handled the situation is something that any man can emphasize with. It was interesting to see how the media vilified the boys to no end (Donald Trump even put on multiple full-page ads out calling for the boys to be put to death). Then it really sickened me to learn that Linda Fairstein the former Assistant District Attorney was able to invigorate her career off of this case. Those things were honestly a lot to take in.
There is an old saying "All is well that ends well." But, the way Burns was able to capture each of their personal and family struggles resulting from this incident makes us realizes we have to take serious the way we conduct this justice system because when you get it wrong you can destroy families. Thinking about doing time and being made a villain by society for something YOU KNOW you didn't do would change any man (or woman's) psyche and would make many people kill themselves but these brothers stood tall through it all.The institutional racism that has become embedded into this "post-racial" society can be just as poisonous as Jim Crow.
One of the contributors to the documentary Craig Steven Wilder probably said one of the most poignant things in the documentary that wrapped up a lot of sentiment I felt from seeing the documentary. Wilder said:
"I want us to remember what happened [in April 1989] and be horrified by ourselves because it really is a mirror on our society. And rather than tying it up in a bow and thinking that there is something we can take away from it and we'll be better people, I think what we really need to realize is we're not very good people. And we're often not."
I implore everyone to check out the documentary on PBS or watch the stream (CLICK HERE).

I think most of those are usable, really.
I'd avoid using Gladys, Thelma, and Mabelline.
Gladys and Thelma are still a bit too dated. Mabelline I'd avoid because of the makeup brand Maybelline, not that it's not a lovely name. It's just one of those things.
As for Betty, if Elias had been a girl his name would've been Beatrice nn'd either Birdie, Betsy or Betty. So, that's my route.new username @finch

Hazel : I like it, it's very usable.
Luella : A bit of a tongue twister, I don't think it's very usable.
Nellie : I named my favourite cow at my grandparents' farm this when I was a child. So I like this name
Della : I prefer Nella which is more usable in my opinion.
Mabel : I would say it's dated but I know a little girl with this name, she can't be older than 4. Definitely a brave choice.
Mabelline : too close to the makeup brand.
Gladys : not very usable.
Thelma : brings to mind Thelma and Louise, so not very usable in my opinion.
Opal : a brave choice, but why not
Constance : Well I find it usable but I'm french and it's not unusual in France. It might be more so in an english-speaking country.
Elva : not very usable.
Betty : I find it old-fashioned, but to each their own. My favourite way to get to the nickname would be good old Elizabeth.

It's getting more and more expensive to be an American consumer. With energy and food costs rising, inflation hit 4.1 percent in 2007, the highest level in 17 years. Buying imports and traveling are getting pricier, too, with the value of the greenback hitting historic lows against the Canadian dollar and the Euro.
Amid this bleak scenario, one important class of consumer good stands out as a bargain - prescription drugs. In the last year, drug prices have risen by just 1 percent. That's well under the rate of inflation, and the lowest annual price increase in three decades.

Retro Appeal in Modo's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection
New York, January 25, 2010
At a time when the "vintage" style is in trend, MODO introduces an elegant retro-inspired collection revisited into a modern style.
Included are ten new styles, seven acetates and three titanium. A look that has character yet is easy-to-wear, distinctive details, and unparalleled craftsmanship are the key-ingredients.
On the acetates, metal detailing on the temples is a key differentiator. Acetate styles such as style 6000 and 6004 incorporate sophisticated yet understated architecture-inspired metal details by the hinge. In the women's styles the insert takes the form of a wave, while in the men's it is geometric and straight.
All shapes are modern, clean and wearable. The collection balances cool blacks, greys and blues with a selection of textured, strong reds and purples.
Titaniums such as model 119, 120 and 121 represent the next generation of the MODO Retro sub-collection. Extremely light and flexible titanium, they incorporate a sculptural temple covered in an enamel coloring on the eye wires. Colors are a refined palette laid around tonal combinations of base metals like gun, gold and silver with enamel colorations such as walnut, navy, camel and bright red.
Each frame comes in a fashionable black leather case.
The new additions are part of the broader Modo collection along with two sub collections MODO Linea and MODO Classic. All collections will be presented at Mido 2010 in Milan and Vision Expo East 2010 in New York.

(Italian: Holy Stairs)
Twenty-eight white marble steps at Rome, near the Lateran. According to tradition, it is the staircase that formerly led to teh praetorium of Pilate at jerusalem, and hence was sanctified by the footsteps of Our Lord during His Passion. They are supposed to have been brought from Jerusalem to Rome by Saint Helena, c.326. In the Middle Ages they were known as Scala Pilati, the Stairs of Pilate. When the old papal palace was destroyed in 1589, and the new one built, the Holy Stairs were transferred to their present site before the Sancta Sanctorum. Here they are flanked by four other stairs, two on each side, for comon use, since the Holy Stairs may only be ascended on the knees, a devotio popular among pilgrims and the Roman faithful. Pope Pius X granted a plenary indulgence to be gained as often as the stairs are devoutly ascended, after confessoin and communion. Imitations of the Scala Santa have been built elsewhere and indulgences are attached to them.New Catholic Dictionary

Manufacturing growth slows in August
PUBLISHED: 01 Sep 2010 09:36:00 | UPDATED: 02 Sep 2010 05:30:11PRINT EDITION: 02 Sep 2010
Activity in the manufacturing sector expanded at a slower pace in August due largely to significantly slower growth in production and new orders, a survey says.
The Australian Industry Group-PricewaterhouseCoopers performance of manufacturing index (PMI) fell 2.7 index points to 51.7 points in August.
Readings above 50 indicate expansion in activity.
The index found strong mining construction activity kept construction materials, basic metal and transport improving in August.
Consumer product sectors also gained ground while the food and beverages and paper and printing sub sectors suffered falls.
Australian Industry Group chief executive Heather Ridout said the expansion in manufacturing continued in August despite election uncertainty and import competition.
"Although August saw a decline in the pace of growth and new orders were flat, there are indications that the pace of recovery could strengthen in the months ahead," Mrs Ridout said.
The consumer products sector had been supported by a strong labour market, she said.
"In particular, the stronger performance of the clothing and footwear and wood products and furniture sub sectors is encouraging and suggests that consumer demand may be picking up," Mrs Ridout said.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Global Head of Industrial Manufacturing Graeme Billings said manufacturing recovery is failing to pick up pace.
"While manufacturing is still recovering, we are not yet seeing the sort of impetus from the private sector that is needed to underwrite aggregate growth at a time of receding public sector demand," he said.
The survey also showed the employment sub-index rose by 3.6 points in August to 51.3, reversing a decline in July.
Wages growth was strong with its sub-index rising 3.0 points to 71.0.
Manufacturing rose moderately in NSW and South Australia, with marginal growth in Victoria, while the other states recorded falls.

Kentucky-Kansas: Great for the game
NEW ORLEANS -- And so here we are.
After a disjointed season rocked by scandal and suspensions and an NCAA tournament with limited drama and no buzzer-beaters, we end up on the basketball court-turned-stage with Kentucky and Kansas.
That's Kentucky, with 2,089 wins, good for No. 1 all time.
And Kansas, with 2,070 wins, ranking second all time.
It's as if James Naismith and Adolph Rupp got together on St. Peter's court and said, "Enough. Let's give the folks what they want."
This is a national championship built for the basketball die-hard and for the hoops neophyte, a perfect marriage of old-school tradition and current-day name branding.
Those reared in the cradle of college basketball will love this game for its history, for a nostalgic past that somehow has gotten mucked up amid NBA age limits that rob the sport of dynasty building.
And the newbies, the ones who don't know Danny Manning from Peyton, will appreciate seeing the best of the best, even if their college tenure is short-lived.
But everyone knows that there are certain places where college basketball matters most.
Two of those places are Lawrence and Lexington.
"Kentucky and Kansas, Rupp and Allen, Naismith and Rupp," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "It should be an exciting game."
And it's a game that is good for the game.
Sports are best when the best are good.
Does anyone really care if the Marlins win the World Series?
Not really. We are a society that consumes excellence and idolizes greatness.
We embrace upstarts but, ultimately, we love the blue bloods, and these two blue-wearing schools are as royally blooded as they get.
"I dreamed about [a matchup with Kentucky] as soon as I saw the brackets," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I said, 'How cool would it be to play Kentucky in the finals?'
"I do think it's pretty neat that you have the two winningest programs of all time hooking up. The bluest of the blue bloods getting a chance to play."
Kansas and Kentucky are sepia-toned history pages come to life, places where you can blow the musty odor off the reference books and practically feel the past seeping through the pages.
There's Wilt Chamberlain and Dan Issel, The Unforgettables and Danny Manning and the Miracles.
From leading in all-time wins to racking up appearances in the Final Four (Kentucky 15, Kansas 14) and NCAA tournament titles (seven for the Wildcats, three for the Jayhawks), the two programs own the game's history.
Yet neither program lives in the past, holding on to its laurels in the hope people will remember them. The two are as relevant today as they were back in the day. Kansas won a national title in 2008, and Kentucky played in the Final Four in 2011.
And although their ardent fan bases might treat their players like rock stars and losses like familial tragedies, their reach extends beyond their alumni bases.
This is what the game needs and craves and, frankly, deserves.
Unfortunately, the undercard storyline might dominate the conversation in the immediate afterglow -- whether this national title game will serve as a referendum on how to win in the current college basketball landscape.
There are recyclables that will spend more time in Lexington than most of the current Wildcats roster. Within days of the national championship, most will announce their intention to move on to the next stage of their life, continuing a dizzying turnover that has hit UK since Calipari took over the program.
Calipari won't apologize for capitalizing on the system, nor should he.
It is not as though he is the only one who tried to recruit Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague. He merely got them.
All of them.
But if Kentucky wins, plenty of people will decry the end of college basketball as we know it.
Meantime, Kansas is the throwback winner, a team that doesn't count a freshman or sophomore among its starting five.
The Jayhawks came up the old-fashioned way, gaining minutes as they gained experience, getting better as they got accustomed to one another.
That it is by default rather than design will get lost in the shuffle. The truth is, Bill Self lost two freshmen to academic ineligibility early and has had his share of one-and-dones, too.
But his team, should it win, will be lauded as proof that building teams as opposed to assembling rosters is the way to go.
And should all of that overshadow this national championship, it will be a shame. To quote every coach's favorite cliché, the game is what it is.
For better or worse, it's not changing.
So instead of bemoaning what might come, let's embrace what we have here: an epic title game, a rhapsody in blue if you will.
As the song says, the ball goes up.
And delightfully, it is Naismith and Rupp hosting the jump.

Obama and Romney will debate Wednesday at the University of Denver. Both sides have been working to lower expectations for the face-offs, which will be viewed by millions of people this month. Registered voters by 2 to 1, or 56% to 29%, believe Obama will prevail over Romney in the debates, the ABC/Washington Post poll finds. The presidential race itself, however, remains too close to call: Obama leads Romney by 2 percentage points among likely voters across the nation, according to the survey. LINK

It's like the "Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants," only with people of all genders, and pants aren't a major player.

Let me lay it out for you: it's like going to a new school or away to college, and everyone is a little bit nervous, resulting in more open interactions (no one can act superior or aloof, since you're all in the same boat. Or plane, for that matter).
On the plane from Chicago to Frankfurt, I met Manar, a 38 year old Palestinian woman who had spent six years studying to be a Pediatrician in Italy, and who was returning to Italy to renew her license after several years of travel. She speaks four languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, Italian, and English. You can't make this stuff up.
So, for the three hours of lay over that she shared with my five, we wandered around the Frankfurt airport—which couldn't be more bland—talking about whatever. We made fun of the German accents, marveled at the "Camel Smoking Stations," and she even showed me her pictures from trips throughout Italy, offering pointers on places to visit. I know that I haven't even reached my final destination, but for some reason I feel like I already made it.

SHOCKandAWE Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2005 6:42 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not going to be a factor in my opinion. Except for a few steals I expect Burke to end up playing 2b and Biggio going back to the OF. Not to mention once Berkman comes back expect Tavarez to be reassigned back to AAA I have to disagree with you here. When Berkman comes back, Luke Scott and not Willy Taveras should be heading back to the minors. I mean, c'mon, Luke Scott hasn't played above A ball for crying out loud. One good spring doesn't make a major leaguer...just ask Butch Huskey.
