Featured review from Richard Dolnick
view more less of this reviewI looked forward to this event from listening the the radio show on KUSC 91.5 on Sundays at 6PM. The young artists were, as expected, fantastic and made future radio listening even more meaningful. The seats were up in the highest tier, but sound and sight were decent. The seating, however, is uncomfortable and contributes to our not going to events there very often. The 90 minute live taping was well worth any discomfort.

There are several characteristics differentiating the many cherry tree varieties. Some of the obvious ones, that can also be easily recognized by beginners, are listed below:
Number of petals
Most wild trees, but also a lot of cultivated tree varieties, have blossoms with five petals. However, some species have blossoms which consist of ten, twenty or more petals. Trees with blossoms of more than five petals are called yaezakura.
Color of the blossoms
Most varieties produce light pink to white blossoms, but there are also cherry trees with dark pink, yellow or green blossoms. Furthermore, the color of some varieties' cherry blossoms may change while they are in bloom. For example, a blossom may open as a white flower and change color to pink over the course of a few days.
The fresh leaves
In case of early blooming trees, the fresh leaves usually do not appear until after full bloom, which gives the trees an attractive, homogeneous look while they are in full bloom. In case of later blooming trees, the leaves usually appear before the blossoms, giving the trees a more heterogeneous look. Furthermore, the color of the fresh leaves differs between the varieties. In most cases, the fresh leaves are green, coppery brown, or something in between.
Time of blooming
Most cherry tree varieties carry blossoms in spring. Yaezakura, i.e. cherry trees with blossoms of more than five petals, are typically the last ones to open their blossoms, with blooming periods about two to four weeks after most five-petaled species. Some extreme varieties bloom in late autumn and during the winter months. Read more about when cherry trees are in bloom.
Form of the tree
Cherry trees display various growing habits and come in different shapes and forms: triangular, columnar, V-shape, weeping, flat-topped, etc. Weeping cherry trees are called shidarezakura.

South Carolina State Insect:
South Carolina designated the Carolina mantid as the official state insect in 1988 as a symbol of the science of entomology and its special role in agriculture controlling harmful insects. The praying mantis is also a fascinating specimen of living science for the children of South Carolina. The Carolina mantid; scientific name Stagmomantis carolina (Johannson), is native to North and Central America. It can be found throughout South Carolina. The Carolina mantid grows to about 2.5 inches in length and comes in a variety of colors: gray, brownish-tan, yellow-green, and bright green.

I want to take a few still images and an audio file and turn them into an mp4 file. I am most familiar with java, so that is what I'd prefer to do the coding in. Is there any way to do this, or any library I should look into? I looked at mp4parser, but I couldn't see how to do what I am looking for.
Take the 2-minute tour
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Is there a reason to be doing this in java? Something like ffmpeg can do this, but it's a command line tool. Well, also a C++ library. I guess there's a Java binding for it, too: https://code.google.com/p/jjmpeg/ For that matter, you could take a look at the ffmpeg source, figure out what they're doing here: ffmpeg -start_number n -i test_%d.jpg -vcodec mpeg4 test.mp4 Mux in some audio, and you're off. Anyhow, that's how I'd start out. Perhaps someone else will chime in with better specifics. |

Check out our Pickup Kits: go for the vintage sound or wind 'em your own way.
So far, so good... By Mike P. from PA, USA (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, July 24, 2013 It's not inexpensive, that's for sure. But I'd rather be building guitars than building winding machines, so I was willing to pay for the convenience of a turnkey solution. I've only wound a couple pickups on it so far, but it is quick and quiet, and the counter has worked without a hitch. Assembly was quick and easy. The machine itself is assembled, you just have to attach it to the baseboard and mount the guide bar. The only additional step I had to take was polishing that bar. It seemed a little rough right out of the box and I didn't want to risk the wire snagging on it. I just chucked the bar in a hand drill and polished it up that way. It's nice that instructions were included but I think they could be improved upon. They assume a certain level of pre-existing knowledge, I think. I would recommend that anybody new to winding pick up Jason Lollar's book. You won't need the information on building a winder if you buy this one, but there's plenty of other useful stuff in there and it has much more in the way of background information and prerequisite knowledge. Time will tell how it holds up to frequent use, but so far I definitely don't regret the purchase. It's much better than my previous DIY winder. If it had an auto-traverse mechanism, I'd give it 5 stars.

Here we go again....are you really sure you put a lot of thought into this? The Back Story: Rated BG's can also provide, over and above PvP points, Guild Experience points if the team meets the 80% guild member requirement. Apparently the Rated BG system will rotate on a weekly basis and was to offer 10 man BG's one week, 15 man the 2nd week and 25 man in the 3rd week and rinse and repeat. As a result of QQ by smaller guilds, who were upset they wouldn't be able to meet the 80% guild membership requirement and thus not earn Guild Experience points, Blizzard has decided to eliminate the 25 vs 25 bracket all together. So, let's see how this contradicts Blizzard's own philosophy. First, they have repeatedly stated that the justification for 10 man PVE content dropping the same loot as 25 man is so players can choose the format they prefer to play regardless of reward. But apparently those that prefer larger guilds and epic PvP battles don't deserve that same consideration. Blizzard has also justified the Guild reward system by saying its not a game breaker which puts non-guilded players at a distinct disadvantage and the fact that larger guilds will earn rewards faster is justifiable. But, the fact that larger guilds would have earned more PvP related Guild Experience points apparently isn't acceptable. So now, because of a non game breaking reward (guild experience) a complete bracket of PvP, which many prefer, is being totally eliminated to accommodate smaller guilds. Next thing you know they won't bother producing 25 man Raids anymore either because that is the logical extension of this rationalization. There are a myriad of more thoughtful ways this issue could have been handled. As others have suggested, elsewhere, the "rotation" system of Rated BG's was the real issue. Instead of eliminating the 25 vs 25 bracket they could have eliminated the rotation and allowed groups to join the BG size (10, 15, 25) they preferred to play. There are other ways around the issue as well. But being logical and consistent are not strong suits of Blizzard. |
The continuing trend to keep bending and breaking their will, all because smaller groups MIGHT feel left out, is driving me up the wall.
Couldn't we have just let this one hit Live servers before jumping to conclusions? It seems we can predict with certainty that smaller groups will have trouble with something, but when the larger groups claim they might have problems with changes, nobody wants to listen. It could have improved community and cohesion within each server as these smaller groups are incentivized into getting together with other smaller groups once every 3 weeks. Maybe they'd start enjoying the larger group stuff and the group experiences and social interaction improve for everyone across the board. Breeding a world where people want to stick with their tiny little group, while simultaneously achieving everything, and ignoring everyone else kind of takes away from the social element of an MMO.
Edited by Bibdy on 11/12/2010 5:45 AM PST
Yeah, the decision was a little polar.
The rotation was the problem. It forced people to play 25 v 25. All they had to do was eliminate the rotation. The 25 v 25 BGs had so much potential to be extremely fun and a fresh, unique game experience. Maybe they'll change their minds before the launch date. |
As you mentioned it, the rotation is the true problem. However it would have been even worse to keep the weekly rotation AND the 25v25 bracket in the weekly rotation. Not because of the guild experience issue but because it would force players to completely reorganize their teams every week.
I would love them to keep rated 25v25 BGs and simply get rid of the rotation, allowing players to focus on their favorite BGs just like we can focus on our favorite arena brackets. I certainly won't focus on 25v25 but I don't see why we shouldn't keep it as an option.

I think the point that the OP is missing here is that this is not so much a battering down of 25 man content. It is more a change to facilitate what you MUST do in order participate in the game at a certain level.
By that I mean, 10 or 25 man raiding is STILL raiding... you may have a favorite, but you can STILL do a 10 man if the 25 man just isn't working out. And since the gear will be the same, you are not FORCED to do 25 man for better gear if 10 man is your favorite. But rated BGs are different in that every 3 weeks you would have been FORCED to play 25 man in order to accure that better gear at a competetive rate. Me personally... I could care less either way since my favorite part of BGs is the chaotic nature of the PUG, which I will not be able to do for ratings. So (depending upon how severe the gear differences are between upper and lower tier gear are) I am probably retired from PvP. It's all "wait and see" I guess.

Here's the problem with losing 25v25. You've now reduced your possible BGs for Rated BGs by at least 2. AV is completely out, Isle of Conquest is probably out as well. You're left with the same busted crap that has a less than epic feel to it. WSG? Really? That's not a Battle Ground, it's a Football game.
I had high hopes for the return of the epic battle field feel of Vanilla World PvP, or even just a really good AV turtle. Alas it's not to be. Blizzard promised us epic battles and we get football. |
There is a lot of interest in Rated BGs, but let's be honest... I don't think there will be many guilds that could field 25 man teams.
So, what happens? All the other guilds are not going to risk their rating by taking trade chat pugs to fill out a 25 man team, and would just bypass that week. Placating the minority, and having most people pass on RBG 1/3rd of the time, doesn't really make much sense, and Bliz made the right choice in my opinion. C |
Much like the topic creator, I fail to see the logic behind the complete removal of this bracket. I was looking forward to rated battle grounds and 25-man rated battle grounds in particular.
There are already numerous rewards for small-scale organized team play. Why can't you also reward large-scale organized team play? Don't you think you have already scaled down the scope of the game enough? |

Sorry if I point out the difference in epic-ness here. |
As a Rated BG leader, I approve of this change.
Edited by Thogden on 11/12/2010 7:13 AM PST
Blizz says nothing about guilds in their announcement, for my part I wasn't even considering guild-formed rated BGs teams. Guild leveling is going to be relatively easy, Rated BGs are not critical to leveling your guild. If they were, the PVE qq would be catastrophic.
We do not need formal teams for rated BGs why does everyone keep treating them as if we do? Have a extended circle of friends who like and are good at pvp. Set a few days a week when Rated BGs will be running. Do them until everyone is good to go, rotate in more for those that leave. Most of the good pvpers on my server all know each other and wouldn't think twice about forming BGs of any size. The plan was going to be run smaller multiple groups then link up for the big ones . . . and Fark Guild exp. I now think that blizz is going to eliminate 25 man raids on the PVE side too. They are just phasing it in. They now obviously think that WoW players are too stupid, lazy and/or disorganized to do anything in large groups. I call bullcrap to that. Ask any Suramar Old timer about a Ripcord AV, then try to tell me 40 people can't work together. Nevermind that Suramar horde mounted a more than a raid and a half for city raids last week. Nevermind that the list for calendar invites for my premades NOW is longer than my arm. I like the smaller BGs don't get me wrong, but I was really, really looking forward to controlled epic chaos 25 man BGs would bring. Finally, this is world of WARcraft, not arenacraft, not skirmishcraft, WARcraft. The entire franchise started from epic battles between massive armies. It is the biggest draw for me. I signed on to take part in those epic battles. |
Personally, I feel it is good for a few different reasons:
1) The 25 mans require a PVE component to kill the end bosses if you choose to do so. 2) The 25 mans are far more susceptible to turtling and/or intentionally dragging a game out. 3) Weeks where the 25 mans are running, there will be slower queues due to the propensity for turtling combined with less overall games running due to the games requiring more players, plus many smaller guilds/teams not able to field enough players to queue. 4) As the scope of the battle grows larger, the raid leader has less control. Right now in 10 and 15 man premades, I can control every single one of my people. Need a healer at the mine? I know who is close and can send them. Need DPS on a flag carrier? I know who is close and can send them, etc, etc. That control is mostly taken away in 25 mans because the map is so large, and there are so many more people to control. What most people don't understand is that playing in a rated premade in Cata is going to be EXACTLY like playing in the arena. The teams who win the most are going to be highly coordinated and orchestrated. Everything will be brought down to reaction time and CC; every global and movement will be carefully planned. I get the feeling that many BG heroes think they are going to queue up with their teams and zerg down wins, but it's not going to happen. If you try to do so, you will be picked apart and embarrassed. |

I don't want this to denegrate into a BG Heroes vs. Arena Superstar discussion, but many "Arena Masters" I run into in BGs are out of position of where they should be. Everything will not be brought down to precise, planned use of globals. Don't expect stationary targets where you can apply arena strats against the better teams, m'friend. C |

If you think my guys are coming into your base to recover our flag and not plan every global, every CC, every target swap, etc... ...you are sadly mistaken. If you think my guys are coming into your node to cap it and not plan every global, every CC, every target swap, etc... ...you are sadly mistaken. Most BG fights are going to be 1v1, 3v3, 5v5 or close to it. People have these delusions about it being anything different and I have no idea where they come from. Perhaps they are accustomed to the way things work in the pug BG's currently, but it's not going to be the case with premades v premade. Where is all this zerg v zerg fighting going to be? You think I am going to send 10 people to fight your 10 people at a node in the opening of an AB? No, I am going to cap everything around you because you grossly misplaced your people. You see what I am getting at? |
Yes, you're saying you want Special Forces levels of coordination and execution. Hey, more power to yea, you're probably right that'll work, but what dropping 25v25 robs you of is a Battle of Mogadishu experience where a horde of the untrained can overwhelm a highly skilled smaller force. You're taking the BATTLE out of Battlegrounds. I don't want 10v10 arenas on huge maps. I want a BATTLEground, with all the chaos, confusion and suffering that is associated with that idea. Mark my words: If rated BGs become 10v10 Arenas they'll fail to capture that middle player Blizz was looking to entice. Rated BGs had the potential to capture 'casual' PvPers in semi-organized conflict. Without the scale to make things truly chaotic, to make the use of company-size-tactics, things will be no better than Arenas. |

Once again we have a deadlock over budget issues. My future sil is possibly going to receive one day a week off as a furlough. I don't know if this will be rescinded if they solve the problem before it takes affect or ends. I don't know if they will be given retroactive pay. Basically it seems there is not a lot of info out there. He is better of than some because his position is currently high needs so he will only be receiving a one day a week but it's a big pay cut. And he has been on a pay freeze for three years.
employees with more valuable skill sets or specialized training will likely go back into the private sector. And the DC metro area will be taking a huge hit. Imagine just cutting pay 20 percent.
That's what I thought. They are planning and saving for a wedding. We are providing help toward this. Everything has been booked and contracts have been signed. This is going to create a financial hardship for them and for us as well. We will work hard to pick up the shortfall. I am hoping that it is averted. He has been considering going into private sector but has loyalty to his division and projects in place. He is in a field where he would have a good chance of finding another position that pays more. However, the current position offered more security for a young couple starting out. If we were allowed to be political I'd have a few more words to say on this subject.
As a CA state worker, we have not had a raise for 10 years, furloughed 3 days a month for 2 years and now furloughed 1 day a month. You learn to live on less or get a second job.
DH is a supervisor for the DoD. He is facing one day off per week for 22 weeks starting approx. mid April. A major financial hit, but we are careful with our money, so we'll survive. Our area is going to take a major hit, though. Many local businesses are bracing for a financial hit during the sequestration period.
We've discussed it a bit on the budget board. Certainly there are lots of us out there. My area will be highly hit with 12K people being furloughed. The DOD is the biggest employer here. Small businesses etc. will be highly affected. DH and I have made plans about where we're going to make cuts. One of the things we talked about cutting is the local newspaper. I feel guilty knowing it will probably go under if very many of those affected do the same. But we've got to make cuts unless we want to devastate our emergency fund, so there it is. We also worry about our favorite restaurant etc.
There goes the already fragile recovery, methinks. That many people getting pay cuts, contractors being laid off, contracts for new equipment and such evaporating. . .well, it doesn't add up to anything good. On a personal note, I'm not really looking forward to flying through Houston until this is resolved. Am also worried about VA services, food inspections, customs enforcement, law enforcement in the National Parks, schools that recieve federal funding, people waiting on tax refunds, etc. So much of modern life depends on all folks in the federal government going about doing their jobs, and they do their jobs so well that I think we sometimes just don't realize how much in our day to day lives depends upon them. At least if it goes to sequester, we will all be aware of just how much we rely upon their work!
Are the news stations covering it? I feel like every time we almost hit a fiscal cliff the news stations were all "countdown to gov't shutdown" but I personally haven't seen much media this time around. I'm outside of the US now so maybe that's why, but I just don't see anyone talking about it, when it seems to be much more likely to go through versus the previous "shutdowns."
It's ramping up a bit here but not so much on the news. This actually won't be a typical "shutdown" which is probably why it's not getting much press. The government offices will be open 5 days a week, there will just be less staff manning the office. It won't really hit the news until the general population gets affected.
I feel your pain . Our DSIL1 w/DoD is looking at 4 day work week for 22wks also. Thankfully they have some savings for ER's, but my heart goes out to the many gov. employees, contractors, and businesses, that will be affected.
Fed employee here - no RIFs or furloughs for us. Our CFO is brilliant and was able to make the cuts without affecting employees directly. Note that each agency has responsibility for finding the cuts. A lot of the threatened impacts are more politically motivated than anything. You get a lot more press and sympathy if you start cutting salaries and threatening jobs than if you start eliminating training and travel budgets. I think it will be an interesting experiment. In reality, the cuts from sequestration are really only a drop in the bucket for what's needed. I think the vast majority of Americans on both sides of the aisle truly have no idea the reach and impact of the federal government. My hope is that it will be an eyeopener for everyone. My belief is that any lessons that should be learned will just get lost in more squabbling.
DH is a DoD employee and facing furlough. We are also a single income family. The local economy is going to be hit very hard if this happens. I thought this was interesting. It is a state by state sequestration impact released by the White House. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/sequestration-state-impact/

MADISON -- While no one really knows what the new year will bring, everyone can take steps to make sure 2013 doesn't start with a drunk-driving arrest or crash. To crackdown on drunken driving on New Year's Eve, the Wisconsin State Patrol and other law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin will be stepping up their patrols. "Drunken driving is a serious offense, and law enforcement officers don't give warnings or second chances to drivers who are impaired," says State Patrol Maj. Sandra Huxtable, director of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Safety.
Police in northwest Wisconsin are looking for two holiday scrooges who stole a trailer with tools and building materials where a Habitat for Humanity home was being built. The Wild Rivers Habitat group said the trailer was stolen late the night of De. 15 in Grantsburg; a witness did not realize that a crime was going on. Habitat for Humanity builds homes for lower-income families - and those families help build the homes they'll eventually live in. The group's local director, Eric Kube, said the stolen items were all donated by the community.
State auditors want to know where the 26 UW campuses will get their Internet service starting in summer 2013. All UW schools are currently on Wisc-Net - a non-profit group that provides high-speed Web service to the university, public libraries, and most K-12 school districts throughout the state. Wisc-Net gets most of its money from its tax-funded users. GOP lawmakers cried foul, saying the government shouldn't compete with the private sector, and they passed a law ordering UW schools to cease their Wisc-Net service and get it elsewhere.
Anyone who needs help pronouncing the names of some places in Wisconsin now have a way to get it. The State Cartographer's Office and www.misspronouncer.com have launched an interactive map called "Pronounce Wisconsin." Users can put a computer mouse over one of 1,700 places on the map and hear how the name of that place is pronounced. The site can be accessed from computers and mobile devices. Pronounce Wisconsin was started by the cartographer's office and Wisconsin Radio Network reporter and anchor Jackie Johnson.
For the second time in 13 years, a federal judge said no Dec. 17 to letting Chippewa Indians hunt deer at night in much of northern Wisconsin. Judge Barbara Crabb said the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission overstepped its boundaries when it created a special night-time deer hunt. It was supposed to start the Monday night after Thanksgiving in the ceded territories where Chippewa have exercised hunting-and-fishing treaty rights for centuries. But the hunt never got started, because the state DNR filed suit to prevent it.
A northwest Wisconsin man wants $4 million in damages after he was wrongly accused of molesting a child. Paul Burritt filed a civil suit against the Polk County Sheriff's Department and investigator Lisa Ditlefsen. Burritt, 61, claims that the investigator had a "reckless or intentional disregard" of the facts, when she arrested him last December for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old girl he was carrying in a van for kids with special needs. The girl later recanted her story and said the alleged abuse never took place.
Thousands of Wisconsinites wore Aaron Rodgers' shirts to celebrate the 12-12-12 date that won't happen again for 100 years, but an infant in Waukesha took things one step further. Teagan George Hoeffler entered the world on Dec. 12, 2012 at 12:12 p-m yesterday. His mother Holli insists it was not planned. She said it was the baby who had the plan to quote, "hit that cool day." Teagan was due Dec. 12, and doctors were going to induce her labor on Friday, Dec. 14. But the labor pains started around 3 a.m., and Holli went to Waukesha Memorial Hospital.
It's no accident that a new clock outside of Green Bay's Lambeau Field is always 15 minutes fast. The clock faces Lombardi Avenue and shows what is commonly known as "Lombardi Time." Legendary Packers' coach Vince Lombardi expected his players to be 15 minutes early for practices and meetings, one of the nuances that helped the Packers win numerous NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls. The clock's been up since July, and the Packers said nothing about it until now. Some people called the team's offices to report that something was amiss outside 1265 Lombardi Avenue.
It was not all that long ago when Wisconsin's only heroin deaths were in the Milwaukee urban area. But Marathon County - where Wausau is located - has had three confirmed deaths this year from overdoses of heroin, and lab results are pending in a fourth case. County medical examiner John Larson said there were also three heroin deaths in 2011. He could only remember two other such deaths in 26 years.

I liked the set up and decor. I liked how the staff went out of their way to welcome you when you arrived. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the room and the updates done to the bathrooms. I also like the close proximity to restaurants & stores.
I had zero complaints, even the train train track mentioned by others was not an issue. No horns, notable vibration or noise even though my window faced the track. I slept well.
Rooms need new carpet walls need painting rust bathroom ceiling
Was unable to meet my expectations due to cancelled event I was planning to use the hotel for and I was unable to get any type of re-embursement.
Everything was very clean and looked nice. The front desk staff was helpful.
We waited in the hotel restaurant for 15 minutes for breakfast and did not get waited on. We left. There is also a mystery charge on my credit card for $20.

Air Force 70, No. 22 San Diego St. 67
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP)
Everywhere they go, the Air Force Falcons see constant reminders of outsiders' low expectations for the long-struggling program.
The media picked them to finish last in a deep Mountain West Conference, a preseason prediction that's plastered to the locker room doors and across grease boards.
''We have some great teams in this league, but ninth? Come on!'' coach Dave Pilipovich said Saturday as he basked in the Falcons' 70-67 victory over No. 22 San Diego State. ''I joke that there were a couple of guys that picked us 10th - and we're in a nine-team league. We constantly remind ourselves: This is what people think of us.''
Maybe not anymore.
Michael Lyons scored 20 points and the Falcons fended off San Diego State by overcoming 25 points and 10 rebounds from Aztecs star Jamaal Franklin, who scored 14 over the final 9 minutes to help San Diego State nearly overcome a 12-point deficit.
The Falcons' latest stunner sets up a showdown in Albuquerque, N.M., next week for - get this - first place in one of the toughest conferences in college basketball this season.
There's talk that the league could get five or even six NCAA tournament bids this year, and now the Falcons are crashing the party. They'll take some serious swagger into The Pit, the next stop on their told-you-so tour.
''We know how great New Mexico is but we're going to prepare like we always do,'' senior guard Todd Fletcher said after scoring 13 points. ''I mean, we were picked ninth in the league, so we have nothing to lose.''
The Falcons won for just the third time in 81 games against ranked opponents - but two of those wins have come against the Aztecs, whom they defeated 58-56, also at Clune Arena, on Feb. 18, 2012.
Asked why they match up so well against San Diego State, three Falcons stared blankly at each other in the postgame interview room. Finally, Fletcher retorted: ''Do we match up well?''
On this afternoon, they were every bit as good as the Aztecs, who had two chances in the waning seconds to send it into overtime with a 3-pointer only to see shots by Franklin and then James Rahom (14 points) rim out.
''To win a game like this you have to make plays. You have to get a lucky bounce on a play and they had one more than we did,'' San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said. ''We still had an opportunity but we didn't get it.''
After Rahon's miss, Lyons secured the rebound, hugging the ball for the final second and then heaving it into the air, accidentally knocking a pair of panels off the overhanging scoreboard as the cadets stormed the court.
The Falcons (14-6, 5-2 MWC) won their fifth straight at Clune Arena, while the Aztecs (16-5, 4-3) lost for only the second time in their last 10 games against Air Force.
The Falcons used a 19-2 run to take control at 59-47, then held on as Franklin scored 18 points in the second half. He finished 11 for 12 from the foul line, his only miss a big one with less than a minute left and the Aztecs trailing by two.
Franklin sank the second free throw to make it 68-67 before Kamryn Williams hit two of his own at the other end after nearly losing the ball off his foot for a 70-67 lead with 19.1 seconds left.
The Aztecs had beaten their previous two opponents by 21 points each, including a 55-34 blowout of then-No. 15 New Mexico, their biggest margin of victory over a ranked team in school history.
But they were just 2 for 19 from beyond the arc at Air Force, where they were outscored from long range by 30 points.
The Aztecs outrebounded the Falcons 37-23, including 15-5 on the offensive glass.
''Our strength for us against Air Force should be offensive rebounding,'' Fisher said. ''That was something that we talked about should be a huge plus for us. It was, but it wasn't quite enough.''
Led by a career-best eight points from sophomore Marek Olesinski, the Falcons' reserves also outscored the Aztecs' bench by 23-6.
''We got beat today,'' Franklin said. ''I always say, when I'm on the court, I'm enemies with everyone I play against, but after the game you have to show good sportsmanship and give credit when it is due.''

Well worth it. Our guide directed us to the best place to be near Pope Francis during his entrance. Phenomenal.
The guide was very informative and with her experience we were able to get a good seat which allowed us the blessing of seeing the Pope up close.
Excellent tour guide - very knowledgeable. Did a great job in getting us very close to where the pope was going to pass. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I was literally not even 10 feet away fro,mthe pope. The tour guide was able to get us really good seats. He clearly knew what he was doing.
This was great! Our guide Francesca, ran ahead of our group and got us seats right along the Pope's route and we were 10 feet away from him, which made for great photos! She gave us lots of historical and anecdotal information about the Papacy and the Vatican. I know we could have gotten in for free, but there were thousands of people there and without Francesca and these tickets, I know we would have ended up in the back with the masses, seeing him as only a dot in the distance. I would pay for this agin in an instant! Thanks, Francesca!
The tour guide was excellent and I would like to have heard more of the presentation if it wasn't for the earlier start of the papal audience due to the rain. The guide brought us to seats where we could easily see the Pope when the Pope mobile came around through the sections. I was shocked as to how close we were to him.
This exceeded our expectations by miles -- yes we had to gather about two hours before the event was scheduled to start but...we got into section 1...the tour guide kept us entertained with a history of Rome and the Vatican... we ended up only feet away from the Pope in his Pope-mobile...we could see both live and the video displays perfectly...we could hear everything clearly...the exit was very quick and orderly -- just perfect. Thank you VIATOR!!!
I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about how this would work. I knew we were getting there hours before the Pope would address the crowd. Francesca definitely knew exactly what to do and was a wealth of information. Before we were able to get in through the gate she talked non-stop sharing valuable information and explaining exactly what would happen when the gates opened. She secured seats right along the gate. Once seated, Francesca continued to talk making the time fly. Before we knew it the Pope was coming right down the land closest to my 85 year old mother - just a few feet from him as he passed by. An inspiring moment for all. .
This was by far the highlight of my trip to Rome and it is without a doubt due to City Wonders Tour Guide, Tiffany, from Indiana! She was absolutely amazing! She got my group seats in the second row on the left side of the audience and close to the aisle which gave us a clear, close up view of the Pope three times. First, when he entered the square near the guard station in the Pope Mobile, then when he rode past the front of the audience, and then a third time when he rode past the left side of the audience prior to beginning his address. We were clearly placed in the ideal location. Prior to the Pope coming out we had to wait approximately an hour and a half and that is when Tiffany's friendly, charismatic personality shone along with her unbelievable knowledge of Ancient History, Christianity, and Catholicism. I felt as if I learned more from her in an hour and a half than I learned in my semester long college course. I was actually slightly disappointed that she had to stop her presentation for the Pipe to come out. Of course, I got over it the moment I saw the Pope. I would highly recommend this tour and if possible, be sure to request Tiffany from Indiana!
