Drug prohibition is a global follyBy Ted Galen Carpenter, Special to CNNUpdated 7:30 AM ET, Fri October 4, 2013History of marijuana in America 37 photosPublic perceptions about pot have come a long way, from the dire warnings of "Reefer Madness" to growing acceptance of medical marijuana and the legalization of recreational use.Hide Caption 1 of 37History of marijuana in America 37 photosHarry Anslinger was named commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics when it was established in 1930. While arguing for marijuana prohibition, he played on Americans' fear of crime and foreigners. He spun tales of people driven to insanity or murder after ingesting the drug and spoke of the 2 to 3 tons of grass being produced in Mexico. "This, the Mexicans make into cigarettes, which they sell at two for 25 cents, mostly to white high school students," Anslinger told Congress.Hide Caption 2 of 37History of marijuana in America 37 photosA poster advertises the 1936 scare film "Reefer Madness," which described marijuana as a "violent narcotic" that first renders "sudden, violent, uncontrollable laughter" on its users before "dangerous hallucinations" and then "acts of shocking violence ... ending often in incurable insanity."Hide Caption 3 of 37History of marijuana in America 37 photosMarijuana cigarettes are hidden in a book circa 1940.

That comes as no surprise as a growing number of policy experts, pundits and politicians have reached that conclusion, including former Secretary of State George Shultz, former Mexican President Vicente Fox, and former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Among other findings, the report documents that inflation-adjusted and purity-adjusted prices of marijuana, cocaine and heroin have all decreased dramatically since 1990 in as geographically diverse areas as Europe, the United States and Australia. In other words, illegal drugs are plentiful and cheap around the world. So now what?The report's policy recommendations are relatively tepid. It emphasizes the need to shift from a strategy of eradication and interdiction of drugs to one focused more on drug abuse prevention and treatment. Although that shift away from law enforcement to a "harm reduction" approach would be an improvement on the current futile, counterproductive strategy, it is not nearly sufficient. Ted Galen CarpenterMoreover, the report too readily accepts the conventional wisdom that drug use is largely responsible for a host of social pathologies. The reality is that the strategy of drug prohibition, not drug use itself, is responsible for many of those pathologies. Drug abuse is certainly a major public health problem, and its societal costs are considerable. But banning the drug trade creates ugly social and economic distortions. Because certain drugs are illegal, there is an enormous black-market premium (by most estimates, up to 90% of the retail price) associated with them. Moreover, people who are willing to traffic in an illegal product often do not have many qualms about violating other laws. Prohibition enables the most unsavory, violence-prone individuals and organizations to dominate the commerce. Drug prohibition leads inevitably to corruption and violence -- to a disturbing extent in the United States and even more so in drug-source or drug-transiting countries. The problems caused by the war on drugs are even more damaging to societies than those caused by drug use per se.Opinion: Legalized pot would mean more addictionIn Mexico, for example, about 60,000 people have perished in armed conflicts among the various drug cartels and between the cartels and the Mexican authorities over the past 6½ years. Another 20,000 people have gone missing. That turmoil has found even more fertile soil in the smaller, weaker countries of Central America. Today, Mexican-based drug cartels control major swaths of territory in both Honduras and Guatemala, and they pose a growing threat to the authority of governments throughout the region. Just WatchedWashington details pot sale rulesreplayMore Videos ...Washington details pot sale rules 01:36PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedWhite House clarifies stance on potreplayMore Videos ...White House clarifies stance on pot 00:53PLAY VIDEOAs the report notes, the international drug trade is a $350 billion-a-year industry. There is no realistic way to suppress such an economic juggernaut. We can only determine whether the trade will be in the hands of honest businesses or ruthless criminals. The quixotic U.S. crusade against alcohol in the 1920s and early 1930s demonstrated that a prohibition strategy empowers and enriches odious criminals. When alcohol was outlawed, the commerce fell into the hands of gangsters like Al Capone and Dutch Shultz. Bootleggers bribed and corrupted elected officials and police personnel throughout the country. There were shootouts on the streets of Chicago, New York and other American cities—just as we have gunbattles between drug gangs in large cities today.Once Prohibition ended, legitimate business provided consumers with the beverages they sought, and the carnage and corruption subsided. Today, suppliers such as Gallo Wines, Coors Brewery, and Jack Daniels Distillery dominate the trade.Ending drug prohibition is not a panacea. Under a legalized system for alcoholic beverages, we still have to deal with drunk driving, alcoholism and other social problems. Yet no rational person would advocate returning to Prohibition with all its ugly consequences. The folly of alcohol prohibition was confined to the United States. Thanks largely to Washington's pressure -- drug prohibition is a global folly. We should learn from history and do more than make modest shifts in anti-drug strategies. We need to bite the bullet, accepting the reality that our second fling with prohibition hasn't worked any better than the first. Change should begin with the comprehensive legalization of marijuana, not just incremental, partial legalization as voters in Colorado and Washington approved last year. We also need to begin a serious discussion about how to deal with harder drugs within a framework of legalization. Whatever the specifics of a new policy, there needs to be recognition both in the United States and around the world that prohibition is an unsustainable approach.Follow us on Twitter @CNNOpinion.Join us on Facebook/CNNOpinion.Opinion on the newsHow AirAsia flight compares to Air France 447 crashPilot Bill Palmer says the AirAsia flight had similarities to Air France 447, which also encountered bad weatherDon't turn your back on these childrenPoverty isn't the only reason why so many parents are paying to have their child smuggled into the United States, says Carole GeithnerIran's hypocrisy in condemning U.S. racism Michael Rubin says it's a farce that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei posted tweets criticizing U.S. policeThe smart thing that makes you stupidRon Friedman says your smartphone may be making you behave stupidly; resolve to resist distractions in 2015Is AI a threat to humanity?Artificial intelligence does not need to be malevolent to be catastrophically dangerous to humanity, writes Greg Scoblete.Welcome to the troll ageThe ability to manipulate media and technology has increasingly become a critical strategic resource, says Jeff Yang.More from opinionAre drugs stifling women?What will happen if the bees disappear?Thanks, Ben Carson, but prison doesn't make people 'come out' gayPowered by Livefyre

Decided to introduce myself after just reading the forums for a bit. Originally from NYC and moved "upstate" for school and still live here. I became more interested in the 2A as I became more politically aware. Went through all the hoops and over all the hurdles to get my pistol permit last summer and received an unrestricted permit the day before Sandy Hook.
I carry a Bersa Thunder 380 because it felt good in my hand at the store, liked the safeties, and wanted a manageable caliber for my first pistol. I since gotten a Smith & Wesson SD40VE as a nightstand gun. I love shooting both and try to get to the range several times, which can be tough with wife, kids and a busy office.
As a newbie I am always looking for good information and guidance from those with more experience as I did not grow up around firearms.

Chapter Five
I trusted the scan to work…mostly anyhow. I swallowed as I waited for the light to finish scanning us. Dib seemed more interested and focused on me, instead of his own fate. I mean I DID tell him that nothing would happen to him…which it shouldn't, but still he held no hesitation to just sit there and watch me. Then I felt the morph begin. The sting of the light that blinded my vision was strangely invigorating. I felt that my eyes were being rinsed of all there color then suddenly grew back but a smaller tunnel of vision like my lenses. All the while, my skin was burning. Not like the cooking burn of rain water, but like my skin was melting inside out. I felt my lekkus split at the end and unravel into threads that felt like they were growing all over my head. It did NOT feel good. Thankfully, sense my lekkus have always been damaged to sensitivity from my experimentation days on Irk, it probably hurt a lot less than it could have. The tips of the soft new dark thick threads blew together in the whirlwind inside of the pod. Then my insides turned into fire, a burning flame that ate and coiled around inside, ripping and tearing my organs apart to make new building grounds for the earthling organ plants that needed to grow to finish the transformation. I held my breath as the painful part passed over. The light soon after, drained and the pods were back to normal. Dib's tube was set to open by itself, but mine seemed to jam. It was no matter though, there was an escape pod button, but when i went to take in a breath to tell Dib to get it...nothing happened, but a screeching pain. I quickly covered my new face as i bent over in anguish. 'WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!' was all that was really going through my mind. I couldn't stop bending over, hunched in anguish as the ripping pain in my chest began to suffocate me. Dib asked me something but i couldn't understand him through the pod or my panic. I shook my head and my eyes widened in fear, trying to plead to him. My throat felt the strange new need to expand as well as my chest, but i wasn't familiar with the motion. The lack of ability made me focus and panic at the same time. I leaned against the back of the pod, unable to stand any longer. The void of silence in the tube was shattered as i suddenly felt the sharp sprinkle of glass shards grazing my clothes and landing at my feet. Before i knew what was going on, Dib had lifted me out of the tube and carried me out and into his lap. I tried to do what I could to show him what was wrong, even though I wasn't completely sure myself. I began to beat on my chest and hold my throat, the areas in which there was so much pain. I felt myself begin to drift off, the lack of the forgotten earth element necessary for human survival draining my being. Before I really knew what he was doing, the Dib settled my back to the cold metal floor and leaned over. His black hair began to rest along my face as he leaned over me and pressed his mouth to mine. Panic first stuck me, but surprise took over as he began to pump air in me like a deflated child pool toy. He removed his mouth and I felt like a balloon. Suddenly, Dib placed his large hands flat on my chest and squished me into the floor, making my insides feel like they were going to pop. All the air rushed out of me and before I could try to breathe on my own the same way, the Dib had once again pressed his lips against mine and blew fiercely into my new organs. He repeated the almost practiced looking procedure until I finally began to cough, breathing on my own in gasps of breaths.
He seemed relieved and keeled over next to me. I didn't get up at first. I wondered if the new organs were used to the transaction of the muscle movement of "breathing" yet. My Pak used to do everything my body needed. It seemed there was still much to learn about the uses of the human body and its needs. The Dib began to laugh, even though this seemed hardly the time for such foolishness. "Way to scare the shit out of me, Zim. Damn." He continued to laugh that I found a bit sarcastic. In humor, I smiled back at him. As I smiled I felt my face shift differently than before. The new smelling organ on my face scrunched up a bit as I grinned, as did my cheeks change with sunken dimple like spots appeared as my smile grew. I was such a genius. This transmutation really did operate just as I had designed it. My now flat tongue pressed against my new teeth I felt myself disgusted. "Ew…my teeth are flat- oh wait these ones aren't; why are the ones in the back sharp and flat?" I asked him in confusion as I investigated my new mouth, sticking my fingers inside. Instead of answering my damn question, the human made a cute snorting sound through his nose and began to laugh at me once more. I demanded that he stop laughing at me. 'What's his deal? He should be as fascinated as I am…' I thought this to myself until I envisioned Dib's fingers poking around in my mouth and body. I blinked and shook the thought from my mind. 'Maybe not…' I thought when my mind went around it twice. He apologized, but just as I had just feared, he began to touch me. His long thin fingers twisted in my new hair. It was like having a head full of super thin lekkus and I could feel everything he was doing. I blushed, feeling the studious attention from the Dib's wondering eyes. Suddenly, he removed his hand, a little pink faced himself and tucked his body inwards. It was strange to see him sit like that, being as tall as he was. His face was hidden behind his tall knees. He proclaimed the experiment as a success before standing up and reaching his hand out to me. I looked up at him for a moment, but took it gladly even though I didn't need it. When we stood next to one another on level ground, I began to grumble. I stated that I had hoped to be close to his height…which I was NOT. I was still lacking a good half a earth foot measurement to be even close to his level….sadly maybe even a hole foot. He looked so giddy that I thought he was going to laugh at me again, but instead the Dib jumped away from me, snatching his hand out of mine. I blinked in surprise after jumping a bit myself. Only when he snatched his hand away did I realize I had still been holding it. I adverted my eyes past him and that's when I saw my precious pod with developed visuals. I screamed and pointed. "What have you done!?"
The Dib began to give Zim the "attitude" that appeared to be apparent in all Earth teens. He explained the scenario in which I had just survived, justifying bashing my pod in. I stomped my way over to the tube and turned to make eye contact with him, glaring, as I pointed to the release button and pressed it. What was left behind of my broken glass pod door shattered and hit the floor at my new feet. I felt rage coarse through my body and continued to glare lethally at the stupid brute. He then had the nerve to yell at me! "Why the fuck didn't you say something?!"
"Excuse me for being too busy with suffocating to answer you!" He screamed back, walking towards him to put my finger in his big dumb face, but a sharp pain splintered from the bottom of my soft new foot. I jumped upon my good foot and cried out to the Dib. "Damn your species squishy weak skin." He shuffled over to me and offered me an arm with a sweeter face than before. I sighed, just exhausted from all of the fuss. I demanded he get me upstairs. The wound was small and not much blood showed yet, but it was an unfathomable pain from something so small. When Irken are hurt with an injury that's not life threatening, our Paks release a numbing fluid into our system to nullify the annoyance. This pain was neither numbed or life threatening and it made me quite feverous with irritation. Thankfully, the Dib picked me up in his arms without a taunt. I was relieved to know adding insult to injury was in bad taste for his character. He let my head fall on his chest as he carefully squished us into the elevator, the both of us a little cramped together with my size grown now. I felt myself blush as my face was cradled into his neck. He was sitting on the floor of the elevator with me in his lap. His back hunching over made my face level with the nape of his throat. I studied its smoothness and touched my own. 'His genetic structure is mine too now… its feels more bizarre than it sounds…' I thought to myself as we reached the house level of the base. Without much difficulty, the Dib carried Zim to the couch.
The Dib had begun to inspect my foot and the cut. His calm tone made my pain ease a little since he said it wasn't as bad as if felt. I mocked him, pretending I already knew everything was fine. I shamefully did this a lot, even now that I was a little older. True, Irken aged slower than humans, but my growth had been developing strangely the longer I stayed here on this wretched planet. I had gotten taller than most irken, but nowhere near the Tallest, I don't think. I mean, they're the ALMIGHTY Tallest, it's probably not even possible to become taller than them. If it was though I'm pretty sure the Dib would come close. His height was completely entrancing. So much so that when he knelled before me to study my wound I blushed a little. For someone so tall to bow before a tiny thing such as me was beyond flattering…not that I'd ever let him know that.
When the Dib suddenly left to the kitchen I paid it no mind. I flipped the foot that he was looking at over my knee and studied the cut for myself. True, it was tiny, but dear Irk did it hurt "like a bitch" as I've heard the Dib describe such injuries. As I stared at my new detailed appendage my eyes couldn't help, but wander the new part of my body. My now light pink toned fingers pinched a hold of a couple of my now numerous toes. How could I NOT be amazed with myself?! All I could think was that 'I've done it…I, Zim, have turned myself into an alien!' This was on a whole new level of disguises though. I was cell for cell, someone else now. I felt a smile grow over my face, 'Finally…Zim has a chance for a new life now.'
Suddenly I heard a strange noise and snatched my head back to the doorway of the kitchen where Dib stood there stiff and looking a tad bit guilty. Embarrassed I was caught admiring my own foot, I blushed and stuffed my hands at my sides. Seeing the washing cloth in his hand, I folded my hands and demanded he make himself useful and clean my cut. Dib looked strangely at me, almost like he was taking my image into his mind for storage. His face was flushed a little with the pink color on his face cheeks. I noted his face had kept only a few of the freckle like specks that used to be there when he was younger. I knew a lot of the Dib's physical make up from when we were children. Technically, I was nowhere near adulthood for my race, but the Dib was at an age where he was known as a "young adult". I was still getting used to his much larger size.
As he bowed once more to clean my foot, I studied him further. I hadn't really gotten this close to him in a while. Not to just study him anyhow. His ebony colored hair stayed the same mostly, except it seemed his face was starting to grow the same kind of substance. The way it was stubbed makes me believe he must shave it off or something. He looked seriously at my foot and feeling as though I was being too quiet, I noted a loud in a bit of wonder that we now had the same color of blood. HE didn't seem as fascinated as I was, but I looked at the color closer anyhow. My species actually didn't contain fluids like the Dib's did. Our actual skin was a thin layer that is almost tube filled with a healing substance that our Paks pump regularly through our bodies. This made me think even harder as I patted my back for my missing Pak. "My pak was supposed to still be there….but humans have their own process for energy…so…where..?" I informed the Dib, but alas on my own I wasn't having any luck looking for my vanishing Pak.
"Let me look." He demanded of me, making my eyes zap to his. I was nervous to just SHOW the Dib my body, but considering the situation I smiled nervously. "Okay, tell me what you see, 'fellow' earthling." I joked and giggled uncomfortably, turning around on the couch and showed my back to him. I pulled my hoodie off accidently taking my shirt off with it. I blushed as his cold fingers pressed softly against my new skin. He seemed to only barely touch me, but everywhere his fingers traced made my skin burn with anticipation. "Well…?" I asked, hoping he didn't hear the shiver in my voice from him touching me.
He explained to me in a smooth voice that my skin had grown over the Pak and where it used to be had sunken into my body. Thinking about this concept for a moment, I wondered what would happen if I tried to use it at all. Dib then place his large palm flat on the head of my Pak. His pressure helped me feel where it was, but I blushed as I felt his whole hand on me. I took a deep breath and tried to flex my spider legs. Not expecting it to hurt nearly as bad as it did, I hissed in pain with a yell. . "It hurts when I try to use it. I'll work on that in the programming next time." I explained to the Dib as I mentally wrote side notes on how I would fix this certain bug in the system programming.
"That's crazy…It's like you grew over and around it. Does anything else hurt? I can't believe that's in you and it's not messing with any of your organs or skeletal structure…" Dib suddenly sounded extremely interested in my body. I don't think he realized it, but he started to feel all over my back, poking and rubbing all over me. I stared into the cotton pattern of the cushion I was faced towards as I waited for him to get over his spazz of amazement. I tried to act like it didn't phase me that his hands were all over me. In all reality though…I didn't really understand why it made my face warm like it did.
"I'm suppose I'm going to have to get used to not using my Pak for a while." I sighed a little saddened that I wouldn't be able to use my favorite thing in the whole world. The Dib stared at me blatantly. I could see him in the corner of my eye as I turned my head just slightly to him. He was suddenly really quiet in deep thought. His face was soft, but I could tell he was thinking as deeply as he could manage. His hands slowly laced off my back, sending my new spine up in a cold chill. Deciding I needed to act normally to get his mind back on Earth, I slunk back into my clothes and glared at him, yelling. "At least until my TUBE'S fixed! You know, Dib? Since you BROKE IT!" He rolled his big brown eyes at me through those circular glass shields and cleaned the last bit of blood off of my foot.
After the blood kind of stopped, the Dib reached into his own pocket and pulled out a paper slip. I felt my face contort as he peeled it open and stuck it on my foot. "So it's a medical device? Do you always carry things like this around?" I noted as I touched the tape like substance myself. He smiled, but it didn't look happy for some reason. Human's facial expressions always confused me, even now. We Irken are very straight forward. A smile equals happy. A frown equals not happy. Human's didn't work that way. 'Does that mean I don't work that way anymore…?' I pondered to myself as Dib spoke about his parental unit for some reason. He gazed at my foot like it was a smeet and gently put it on the ground before he looked back up at me with a kind expression on his face. My face still confused on how bandage tape had anything to do with his "mother" unit. "Zim didn't really understand any of that." I admitted, not embarrassed for the information wouldn't have made sense to anyone. The Dib sighed at me, like Ms. Bitters used to when I didn't get the stupid earth point of her faulty learning program. Then he sat on the couch beside me, stretching out with one arm behind me. "Yeah, I figured. You are still an alien, after all." As he said this, Zim came to the terms that no matter how much I change my cellular build…there will always be things on Earth I will never understand.

Classic rock, country western, classical, 80s music. No iPlod. No other gadgets like it. Couldn't have it at work, anyway. No personal electronic devices allowed due to the high security. If I surf the radio, it's while driving. I don't even have my stereo out of the box in this apartment. I've been here 10 years and have never unpacked it. I don't even have satellite radio. I'm in my car less than an hour a day so I don't have the need for several hundred radio stations that I'd never listen to, anyway. No radio at work because we're in a very remote area and radio reception sucks the big one.
I listen to modern contemporary christian music and christian rock. like these
Classic rock mostly, also enjoy classic Motown stuff. Skynyrd is ageless and timeless, listened to the uncut Freebird on the way to work this morning. (Car stereos with USB ports rule!)
I mainly listen to Bluegrass and classic country.
Rock, Metal, and old country. Metallica, AC/DC, Nightwish, Children of Bodom, David Allan Coe, Johnny Cash, etc..
I listen to a lot of Motorhead, it's my favourite band ever. I like classic rock as well and heavy metal in general (not the newest stuff with that rap crap mixed in): Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Virgin Steele, Nightwish (with Tarja Turunen, I don't care for the new singer), Blind Guardian, Rage, etc. I'm also a huge classical music and opera buff (even if JD thinks it's gay). Bedrich Smetana is probably my favourite composer. Good tango is something I enjoy listening to as well. Not that modern "electro-tango" rubbish. Songs like "Desencuentro" by Troilo and Castillo are just terrific, such excellent poetry.
My TV is ALWAYS on. So depending on the time of day. It can range from Family Guy to MLB to Home Improvement. During the wee hours 4-6am, I'll be watching hunting. I also listen to my extremely annoying AC, but it feels good so I dont mind. S.S.
Classic rock and modern country mostly but I get in moods for big band or blues sometimes.
Anything from the 60's to the 90's. That includes Country, Motown, Disco, Rock and anything that has a beat to it. I listen to an Mp3 player when I do all my training and yard work. Gotta have a beat or I can't move my feet! BTW I can dance pretty well for a white boy too!! Jack..........

Kansas: A. Wiggins 19 Pts, 6 Reb, 2 Ast, 2 Stl, 2 Blk
Texas Tech: J. Tolbert 16 Pts, 6 Reb, 2 Stl
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Kansas coach Bill Self felt more than a little fortunate that his No. 8 Jayhawks pulled out a 64-63 win against a very tough Texas Tech team.
Andrew Wiggins' layup with 2 seconds left lifted Kansas to victory Tuesday night.
"I think sometimes you could say they were a little lucky," he said of the Red Raiders. "They threw some in at the end of the shot clock that maybe weren't the highest percentage shots, and we were a little lucky that the ball just happened to bounce to Wigs there at the end. That's part of it.
Freshmen Carry Jayhawks
Kansas squeaked by Texas Tech in Lubbock thanks to stellar play by freshman stars Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid. They were the only Jayhawks to score in double figures, grabbing half of the team's rebounds and blocking the only shots of the game for Kansas.

"We've been unlucky and we've been lucky before, and they usually balance out over time."
The freshman finished with 19 points, and Joel Embiid matched his career high with 18 in his return from injury to lead the Jayhawks (20-6, 11-2). Kansas reached 20 wins for the 25th consecutive season and 11 conference victories for the 20th straight year.
Texas Tech's Robert Turner sank two free throws with 16 seconds left to put the Red Raiders up 63-62, but Kansas brought the ball up and got it inside to Wiggins for the win.
Jordan Tolbert scored 16 points and Dejan Kravic added 13 to lead Texas Tech (13-13, 5-8).
The Jayhawks own a two-game lead in the Big 12 after Texas fell 85-76 at Iowa State on Tuesday night.
"It's big, it's big, but it doesn't mean anything unless we win Saturday," Self said of Kansas' home game against the Longhorns. "That's the game that would give us some serious breathing room, although we've got a little bit now, and it was big tonight.
"I wasn't banking on them losing, all I wanted to do was win two games this week, and if we were able to do that, then it would be a great week."
The score was tied nine times and the lead changed 13 times.
"I was impressed with Tubby (Smith's) team and how hard they played and how well they defended, how well they rebounded," Self said. "They're going to get better. The guy knows how to win. He's a proven winner. Those kids played hard."
Michael C. Johnson/USA TODAY Sports
Embiid has elite NBA size and won't drop far even with the back injury.
Kansas held an early 10-point lead but Texas Tech started hammering the ball inside to make the game tight.
"There wasn't much to say," Smith said of his team. "They're down, they're despondent because it's a tough loss. They felt like they played well enough to get the win, but you always have to finish the game the right way."
Tolbert made a bucket as the shot clock expired with 2:51 left to put the Red Raiders up 59-55. But Wayne Seldon Jr. hit a clutch 3-pointer to pull within 59-58. Turner answered with a basket, and Embiid sank two free throws to make it 61-60 with 1:22 remaining.
On the Red Raiders' next possession, a scrum led to Kansas getting the ball. Embiid dunked it to put the Jayhawks up 62-61.
Turner then made his free throws, and Kansas called a timeout to draw up the play to Wiggins.
Kansas scored 22 points from the free throw line, and Texas Tech netted only nine.
Texas Tech came out after halftime and hit four of its first five shots. Kansas made only one basket in four attempts, allowing the Red Raiders to take their first lead since early in the game, 37-32.
Tolbert capped Texas Tech's 8-2 run.
But the Red Raiders' effective defense also created foul trouble. With more than 13 minutes remaining, Jaye Crockett, Kravic and Kader Tapsoba each had three fouls.
Texas Tech sent the Jayhawks to the line often in the second half. Five free throws -- by Jamari Traylor and Wiggins -- on three possessions pulled Kansas within 46-45 with about 11 minutes remaining. But the Jayhawks regained the lead for the first time in 11 minutes, 52-51, on a pair of free throws by Naadir Tharpe with 7:14 remaining.
But with Kravic back in, and after a turnover by Tharpe, the 7-foot senior tied the game at 53 on a layup with 5:34 left.

Throw a Pepper Fiesta with Chiles Rellenos
by Kirsten Vala in View All Posts, September 1st, 2010We're teaming up with other food and garden bloggers to host Summer Fest 2010, a season-long garden party. Each week we'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. To join in, check out awaytogarden.com.
Mild poblano peppers are the star of this Mexican food favorite, chiles rellenos. The peppers (look for darker colored poblanos for the richest flavor) are stuffed with cheese, dipped in egg and fried until the cheese is melted and the outside is crisp. They're a fiesta on a plate, especially when paired with a fresh, tomato-based sauce like the Food Network Magazine version above.

Love Love Love Chile Rellenos! Yum!!!
I'm so excited that summer turns into Fall Fest! We're big pepper lovers in our home and are enjoying them fresh as well as canning them for fall and winter hamburgers, chilis, chile rellenos, soups and stews.
After living in New Mexico for four years for college, I fell in love with Hatch Green Chile and in this post show you how to oven roast them as well as can them for the pantry (and directions for freezing are included as well) http://heartlandrenaissance.com/2010/08/we-interr…
And one of our favorite condiments when we eat Mexican food is jalapenos en escabeche. I make mine lacto-fermented and raw and, in the fridge, they last forever! We're finishing a jar that I made up last year! The carrots are my favorite while the jalapenos are my husband's: http://heartlandrenaissance.com/2009/09/jalapenos…
Thank you for hosting Fall Fest! I can't wait to read the other participants!

Hi Zoe I was just reading some of the posts online about EZ ManagerMax.My Ezmanager max3.06 does not work my custom composer.When I hit the play button the tune doesnot play.I called Animas and they told me they would send the 3.07 version.What is the difference between the two.I just hope the 3.07 version works better.

Tracking the Big Ten attendance figures
January, 23, 2012
Adam Rittenberg | ESPN.com
Derek from Madison, Wis., recently emailed in, asking:
Not a problem. Here's the SEC post on the attendance figures, which are now available for the 2011 season.
Sports Business Journal recently looked at the average attendance figures for the past three seasons (2009-11). Not surprisingly, the Big Ten occupied the top two spots in average attendance in 2011 (Michigan, Ohio State), while Penn State ranked No. 4 behind Alabama.
Let's look at the three-year averages:
Some thoughts ...
Adam, I saw the SEC blog posted their stadium attendances. Could you do the same thing for the B1G teams? I'm curious to know how our attendances compare to theirs.

Some thoughts ...
- Thanks to the addition of Nebraska, the Big Ten set a new attendance record in 2011 and broke the 6 million mark for the season. The league averaged 71,534 fans per game and had 39 sellouts, which rank fourth all time in league history. More than 3.4 million fans attended conference games, which surpassed the Big Ten record of nearly 3.2 million from 2010.
- Despite the big numbers, only two Big Ten programs had an increase in average attendance from 2010 (Michigan and Michigan State). Iowa had the exact same average and Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Indiana had very slight decreases from the previous season.
- It will be interesting to see what happens to Penn State's attendance in 2012 following Joe Paterno's firing and the sex-abuse scandal. A lot of fans are upset about Paterno's ouster and could avoid the games. It also remains to be seen how much buzz the program will generate under new coach Bill O'Brien. Penn State's attendance has dropped in each of the past two seasons, and some attributed the 2011 drop-off to the athletic department's new ticketing program (STEP).
- The Big Ten has more programs averaging 100,000 fans or more (3) than the SEC (1), but the SEC has more programs averaging more than 85,000 fans than the Big Ten (6 vs. 4). What's crystal clear is that the Big Ten and SEC remain the nation's two most popular conferences, and while the Big Ten has struggled to match the SEC in national championships, the Big Ten always remains a relevant league because of its fan following.
- This isn't a news flash, but both Purdue and Illinois have to be concerned by these numbers. Both schools have seen significant drop-offs in football attendance. Purdue announced some initiatives to boost football attendance after awarding coach Danny Hope a contract extension, and Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas also cited declining attendance when announcing Ron Zook's dismissal as coach. Minnesota also has seen attendance decline since opening TCF Bank Stadium in 2009, although the team's struggles certainly play a role. Northwestern received an attendance bump in 2010 because of its game at Wrigley Field, so the drop-off in 2011 was expected. It's important for Northwestern to keep increasing attendance in the coming years and make sure the 2009 total never happens again.
- It's interesting to look at the drop-off in attendance average between the top seven programs and the bottom five. You go from 70,000 for Iowa (No. 7) to around 50,000 for Illinois (No. 8). How much does this say about the annual expectations for Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Iowa versus the rest of the league?

21 Simple Things to Do to Prepare for a Successful 2013
Posted By Mark Sisson On December 26, 2012 @ 8:00 am In Health,Personal Improvement | 109 Comments
Well, the apocalypse never came. No earth-rending seismic activity rearranged geography. Nary a tsunami wrought despair and destruction on coastlines, nor did the turn of the calendar awaken an ancient, many-tentacled evil force hidden deep below. We experienced neither a global awakening of consciousness, a visit from the original extraterrestrial architects of our physiology, nor an explosion of eschatological novelty. What that means is two things: the prophets of 2012 got it wrong, and you have to plan for the rest of your life.
Let's start with 2013. How are you going to make sure it's a successful year? What steps will you take?
I've got a few suggestions. This may seem a bit untimely coming on the heels of Christmas Day, but I wanted to encourage you to start thinking about where you've been and where you're going. Whenever you have some time off from family and friends, consider getting some thinking done. Consider taking a few preliminary steps toward making 2013 a good year.
It takes a minute. It's free. It will have a measurable impact on the quality and duration of your sleep [7], which will set the stage for health and productivity. There's literally no reason not to install F.lux [8] (even if you're going to be photo-editing or something that requires the full spectrum, you can always turn the program off for a bit).
F.lux is great, but it only works on select electronic devices. What about everything else, like the TV, that light overhead, or (if you're willing to look a little strange) the grocery store after dark? Glasses [9] that block blue light will help you to go about your business in this modern life without pushing back your melatonin secretion [10], allowing you to get to bed at a reasonable time.
Grass-fed beef [11] makes a big difference. It really does. And yes, it's generally more expensive than grain-fed beef, but if you find the right local supplier [12] and buy directly from them, you can get a better deal.
If you're going to switch to grass-fed beef and want the best deal you can find, you'll want a chest freezer to enable bulk buying (or even cowpooling [13]). You'll save money and have steady access to good meat, but it's also fun to weird out visitors with your giant meat locker. Bonus points if you position a sheep's head such that it's looking right into the eyes of whoever opens the door.
A journal gives you access to a free, unlicensed (but effective) therapist [14], and it allows you to conduct real n=1 experiments [15] to figure out what works for you – and why. If you want to make any changes in the new year, a journal will help you make sense of them.
Part of having a successful year is focusing on the mind – not just the body. I love reading [16] and find books to be a quite powerful influence on the mind [17]. If you think you're in the same boat, go grab a library card – they're usually free and woefully underutilized – so that you can start the influencing off right.
So you've long told yourself that you're going to "start shopping at farmers markets more," but it never really materializes. That stops in 2013. To help your chances, compile a list of all the local farmers markets [18]. Figure out where they are [19], when they run, and which ones fit into your schedule. You won't be able to avoid going if you can't make up a ridiculous excuse like "I don't even know when it is!"
A good knife, a well-made wooden cutting board, and a solid enameled cast iron pot don't just make cooking good food easier, they make it more enjoyable. If you want to start cooking more but haven't been able to really get going, the first step is to get cookware that's worthy of the food you'll be making.
Asian markets are teeming with interesting, delicious, nutritious, unique (at least to many people) foods. Want fresh (often living) fish and shellfish? Check out the seafood section. Want twenty different kinds of leafy greens [20]? Check out the produce section. Want that spice or herb whose health benefits you read about on some blog somewhere? Check out the spice section. Having an Asian market [21] nearby will be a helpful ally in the coming year.
If you're lucky enough to have a seafood wholesaler near you, take advantage. You'll be able to get oysters, crab, fish, and other sorts of sea creatures almost directly after they're caught/harvested without the few days of lag time that can make a huge difference. Seafood [22] is a big part of a healthy Primal eating plan, so be sure to have a good source.
Blogs and Facebook [23] and Twitter [24] aren't enough for us. We are social animals, after all, who need face to face contact. If your friends think you're insane for eschewing grains [25] and buying bulk butter, check out Meetup.com for relevant groups (paleo, Primal, hiking, weightlifting, camping, etc.) and then go join them.
Write the first paragraph in which you give your background, your experience hitherto, your justification for wanting to do it all better. Then, finish the story in 2013 – and make it a good one.
I prefer working out in nature [26], preferably doing something I love like Ultimate Frisbee [27] or stand up paddleboarding, but not everyone's like that. A lot of people need the gym atmosphere – not to mention the equipment – to get a good workout. Plus, paying money for something will often get you to use it. Sure, a lot of gyms fill up around New Year's with temporary fitness buffs, only to empty out around the middle of February, but I think MDA readers are a different sort. And hey, I still go to a gym to do certain things; it's just not my favorite way to exercise.
Some people need to join a gym in order to get a workout, but others find home gyms work best. If you're of the latter group, Craigslist is a fantastic place to get great deals on quality equipment. Try searches like "barbell" or "kettlebell" or "weight vest" or "squat rack" or any other equipment you covet.
You know you "need to play [28] more," but how? You can't just head down to the local park as a grown adult and join a random game of tag with a bunch of other adults out playing. See, until we reach critical mass and get most adults out there ready and willing to play, you're gonna have to search out play-willing adults. Find some adult sports leagues [29] for the coming year to help you play more in 2013. If you're a ten-year old reading this, enjoy your ample supply of willing peers (cause it won't last forever).
That half-eaten avocado with a spoon still sticking in it from last week? Toss it. The container of Greek yogurt you left cracked open so that part of the top layer crusted over? Get rid of it. That congealed red hemoglobin slick from the time you thawed a roast and never cleaned it up? Clean it. Get rid of all the old greens, rearrange the inefficient jumble of containers, and clear out the freezer to make way for all the fantastic food you're going to be eating, making, and storing in 2013.
I know most of you aren't doing this regularly. If you haven't gotten your knives sharpened recently and you aren't one to maintain them yourself, take them to get professionally sharpened. It will make a huge difference, and cutting meat and slicing veggies and fruits will become a pleasurable act.
Go for a long hike [30], take a weekend trip out in the woods, camp on the beach, rent a cabin. Just spend an extended amount of time away from civilization, deep in wild nature. Think about your big plans for 2013, or just use the time to do nothing but experience nature (perhaps with a spiritual encounter [31] or two) and get away from it all. Whatever you do, it will help you prepare for a successful 2013.
Indulge in the pleasures of social contact. Indulge in good company. Indulge in a little bit of good wine, too, for these can all be net healthful activities. But don't indulge to the point of obliteration. Don't wake up on January 1 feeling like death. Be sensible, take precautionary measures [32], and be ready to take on the new year.
Walking is good for thinking [33]. And physical health [34]. But you should take a long walk to prepare for a good 2013 mostly because it'll help you think about what must be done.
My new book is coming out on January 8th, and if you enjoyed or gained something useful from The Primal Blueprint, you'll want its sequel – The Primal Connection. I wrote the sequel because while the ancestral model has been used to great effect in the realm of diet and exercise, its potential to guide us to a fulfilling and balanced life has gone largely untapped. That changes with The Primal Connection. Though they play a large role in our health and happiness, we are not the food we eat nor the weights we lift; we are much, much more than that.
In addition to The Primal Connection, I've got several new ventures, products, and services on the docket for the upcoming year – so stay tuned! I have a strong feeling that 2013 is going to be a successful year for a lot of you.
Thanks for reading, and share what you'll be doing to prepare for a successful 2013 in the comment board below!

Who else doesn't like NBC coverage. I thought I would never say that ESPN has good coverage but it blows NBC out of the water. They could show us some of Murray's match instead of the second set of Mari's in which ESPN already shown. Sucks that the have coverage during the week.

Drop Sawfish altogether and go with Metacity :) I don't plan on using it (like kde so far), but somebody had to write the instructions.
