The $100 Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mini Me creates fancy espresso-style drinks in a flash.
A specially designed "space cup" would let astronauts sip their espresso in Zero-G style aboard the ISS.
The Minipresso is a hand-pumped coffee gadget that's supposed to provide you with traditional machine-quality coffee in a portable package.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station will soon be able to enjoy hot, freshly brewed coffee from an espresso machine designed for use in space.
Apple is boosting Beats by buying a music-measuring service, Starbucks will charge your phone by magic, and the X-Files could return.
If you have a hankering for fancy cafe drinks at home, the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mini Me is worth a look -- just don't expect anything close to real espresso flavor.
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station needed a socket wrench, so NASA engineers emailed him designs for 3D-printing one. What a world we're living in.
But coffee drinkers who live in Portland, Ore., can already take advantage of Starbucks' Mobile Order & Pay system.
Creating great coffee beverages is definitely an art form but it's just as much a science, and all methods are not created equal.
This week on Crave we explore promising food options like a pizza vending machine and a hand-held espresso machine. We get a glimpse into the beautiful, microscopic world of chemical reactions and meet Toshiba's communication android that's learning to speak sign language.

Illustrating Anarchy and Revolution: Mexican Legacies of Global Change
Center for Mexican American Studies
UT Austin February 5-7, 2014
Keynote Address: Dr. Claudio Lomnitz, Columbia University (Campbell Family Progressor of Anthropology), "Ideological Incoherence and Ideological Purity in the Mexican Revolution."
This conference traces various efforts to imagine a better, more inclusive political future, especially efforts rooted in the anarchist legacy of the Mexican Revolution. In 1903, the Flores-Magón brothers declared, "La Constitucion ha muerto" on a banner which they hung outside the offices of the anti-Porfirista newspaper El Hijo del Ahuizote in Mexico City. The routes of exile they traveled following this watershed proclamation created opportunities for insurgent Mexicans and their sympathizers – first, on the Texas-Mexico border and then across the globe – to form radical communities through a variety of media. Of particular interest is how these "sueños de libertad" galvanized communities at the turn of the century in cities ranging from San Antonio, Laredo, Chicago, Los Angeles, and St. Louis to Alcoy, Barcelona, and Moscow. With a mixed media exhibition at Mexic-Arte, a Fine Arts Museum housing works by Mexican and Mexican American artists in downtown Austin, and an academic conference at UT Austin co-sponsored by the Center for Mexican American Studies (CMAS) and the Hijo de Ahuizote Museum-Archive in Mexico City, we wish to revisit these early 20th century articulations of transnational collaboration as we discuss their anarchist spirit and global legacies.

Picturing the Cosmos: Hubble Space Telescope Images and the Astronomical Sublime
Elizabeth A. Kessler examines the Hubble's deep space images,
highlighting the remarkable resemblance they bear to nineteenth-century
paintings and photographs of the American West and their invocation of
the visual language of the sublime. Drawing on art history and the
history of science, as well as interviews with astronomers who work on
the Hubble Heritage Project, Kessler traces the ways that the sublime,
with its inherent tension between reason and imagination, not only forms
the appearance of the images, but also operates on other levels.
Strikingly illustrated with full-color images, this book reveals the
scientific, aesthetic, and cultural significance of the Hubble pictures.
"Picturing the Cosmos has helped me better understand what
it is that fascinates me about the astronomical universe. Even though
I've always loved to look directly at the night sky or at the wonders it
holds with telescopes of many sizes and powers, reading here that
'astronomy is about the pleasure of looking' has revitalized this old
habit and given it weight." --David H. DeVorkin, Senior Curator, Division of Space History, National Air and Space Museum
Elizabeth Kessler teaches art history at Stanford.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Shimeji (Japanese language:シメジ, 占地) is a group of edible mushrooms native to East Asia, but also found in northern Europe.[1] Hon-shimeji (Lyophyllum shimeji) is a mycorrhizal fungus and difficult to cultivate. Other species are saprotrophs, and buna-shimeji is now widely cultivated. Shimeji is rich in umami tasting compounds such as guanylic acid, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid.[2]
There are several species sold as shimeji mushrooms. All are saprotroph except Lyophyllum shimeji.
Shimeji should always be cooked: it is not a good mushroom to serve raw due to a somewhat bitter taste, but the bitterness disappears completely upon cooking. The cooked mushroom has a pleasant, firm, slightly crunchy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. Cooking also makes this mushroom easier to digest. In stir-fried foods, as well as with wild game or seafood it is a good mushroom. Also it can be used in soups, stews and in sauces. When cooked alone, Shimeji mushrooms can be sautéed as a whole, including the stem or stalk (only the very end cut off), using a higher temperature or they can be slow roasted on a low temperature with a small amount of butter or cooking oil. Shimeji is used in soups, nabe and takikomi gohan.
Shimeji can also be anime or manga characters that roam around the screen. They're given this name because they multiply, just like the mushroom. They can also interact with windows. They are available on Windows, Mac OS, and GNU/Linux-based operating systems.

the fight b/w the 2 ichigos will definitely be the best
the fight b/w the 2 ichigos will definitely be the best
as far as were talking realistic,ichigo vs ikkaku comes first....
but if u want power fight, then it would be kenpachi vs komamura&tousen
i love handicap matches too
is no the answer to this question??
My favorite fight as portrayed in the manga would have to be Ichigo vs. Kenpachi. My favorite fight as portrayed in the anime would have to be Ichigo vs. Byakuya, where the animation made the fight much smoother. Gin vs. Hitsugaya was excellent as well, I look forward to any later fights Gin may be in.
Ichigo vs. Grimmjow looks to be excellent as well, made even better by the fact that arrancar are "allowed" to die by the author. Speaking of which, I loved Yami's crushing that one nurse arrancar's skull in, as it seems to have been a great foreteller of things to come. I'm not usually one for senseless violence, but Bleach has gone far too long under the no deaths rule.
Uryuu freaky, pale and geeky,
how do your powers grow?
"With gloves and scars and silver stars
and swords that I shoot from a bow,
yes, swords that I shoot from a bow."
Ichigo vs Kuchiki Byakuya
Kenpachi vs Tousen/Komamura
What are you guys talking? Best fight has to be Don Kanonji and Ichigo Kurosaki vs. the uber bad ass hollow.
Glory to the almighty kingdom.
Perish into the wrathful sea
or ascend into the open arms of Pandora herself.
The choice is yours.
I LOVE the little scene that Ichigo beat up the monkey girl-Hiyori...huh why the others stop him from riping her appart...
1. Kenpachi vs Tousen
2. Yoruichi vs. Soi Fon
3. Ichigo vs Kuchiki Byakuya
This may all change after next weeks chapter tho!
Theres too many hawt fights... But Zaraki vs Ichigo... I keep reading it over and over...
zaraki's a monster alright.to be that strong without knowing his soul cutter's name!!!!!!!
I preemptively like any fights Urahara are going to be in

By: Shain Germaner, EWN
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela has been asked to probe reports that taxpayers will be footing a R203-million bill for renovations to President Jacob Zuma's private home in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal.
On Sunday, Democratic Alliance Parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko said the party was outraged by a City Press report that Zuma will only be contributing five percent of the total cost of renovations.
According to the paper, Zuma's revamped homestead will include underground living quarters, a health facility for Zuma and his family, a helicopter pad, houses for the air force and police units, as well as playgrounds and a centre for visitors.
Mazibuko said she called on Madonsela and Auditor-General Terence Nombembe to probe the claims.
"It's a huge problem that our president doesn't realise how unethical it is for him to spend public money from a department that is failing, on upgrading his personal residence — in addition to the fact he is spending money on the village three kilometres away from his home," Mazibuko said.
Mazibuko added that Zuma recently announced his pride in upgrading the area.
"He said it in Parliament last week quite proudly, and I believe quite disappointingly, that he is not ashamed of the fact that he is developing Nkandla… I believe that given these latest reports, he has every reason to feel ashamed."
Both the Presidency and the Department of Public Works have refused to comment on the issue, saying details regarding the president's house are protected by the National Key Points Act, which prevents the department from discussing the issue with the media.

I'm team Rob & feel very sorry for him but Kristen seems to be taking a lot of heat over this & for that I feel sorry for her too. The way the media is attacking her is just sick. She is getting death threats and everything, and although what she did was very wrong and heartless, its not fair to force someone in to hiding because they are scared of what might happen to them. She made a mistake & this should be left to her and Robert to sort out on their own. I've seen people saying that if he really loved her, he would take her back. But that's not true. You can love someone but still know you deserve better for yourself. I support them both in whatever they decide, and I hope they both are alright in the end.

Also, you mention "depressed all the time." I have noticed something here. No, it is not a "just me" kinda thing, either. I have noticed that his smiles are less frequent and not as open, nor as bright,as they once were. Ok, for example, there is a video of Rob suprising a family and then another of him posing with a group of young women and girls. His smiles were so big and bright,so open,and now he looks very serious, and sometimes, even somber. This caused me to sit up and take notice and really scrutinize his pics/ videos, over the last year or so. And you know what I found? That the sparkle has somewhat left his eyes, his smiles are not as mega-watt as they used to be, and generally, he did not seem deeply content or happy. I am not a Twi-hard fan, so i did not notice this slow decline right away, but took notice of it recently,and made a comment to a friend, who was a Twi-hard. She said the same thing,and then the cheating scandal. yes, he looks unhappy, but he is healing and he recently took to the talk shows and premiers and he now looks fabulous ! Maybe this really IS a blessing in disguise. Let's hope so and let's give him the room he needs to heal . :) Thank u for these reasons and I cannot agree with you more !

Dakota Indians remember largest mass hanging in US history
In 1862, while the Civil War raged, the US government also fought a war against the Dakota Indians. On Dec. 26, 38 Dakota were hanged, an event memorialized by the tribe today by a 300-mile horseback ride.
Chris Huber/Daily Republic/AP
St. Paul, Minn.
The day after Christmas will be somber for Dakota Indians marking what they consider a travesty of justice 150 years ago, when 38 of their ancestors were executed in the biggest mass hanging in U.S. history.
Overshadowed by the Civil War raging in the East, the hangings in Mankato, Minnesota, on Dec. 26, 1862, followed the often overlooked six-week U.S.-Dakota war earlier that year -- a war that marked the start of three decades of fighting between Native Americans and the U.S. government across the Plains.

Tensions rise between China and Japan over disputed islands
Sporadic, violent protests against Japanese businesses broke out across China this weekend after the Japanese government announced that it had purchased from private Japanese owners islands that are claimed by China.
Eugene Hoshiko/AP
Chinese are trying to hurt Japan economically for leverage in a bitter dispute over contested islands, turning to angry protests and calls for boycotts of Japanese businesses, abetted in part by China's government.
Sporadic protests in China over the past week became larger and at times violent and spread to at least two dozen cities over the weekend. Protesters torched a Panasonic factory and Toyota dealership in the eastern port of Qingdao, looted a Heiwado Co. department store in the southern city of Changsha and ransacked Japanese supermarkets in several cities. Though larger numbers of police imposed more order on demonstrations Sunday, they fired tear gas to subdue rowdy protesters in the southern city of Shenzhen. In nearby Guangzhou city, protesters broke into a hotel that was next to the Japanese Consulate and damaged a Japanese restaurant inside.
Japan has demanded that China ensure the safety of Japanese citizens and businesses. "Unfortunately, this is an issue that is impacting the safety of our citizens and causing damage to the property of Japanese businesses," Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda told NHK, Japan's public broadcaster, on Sunday.

Delhi to get its first sunken museum 2012-05-26
Posted January 3rd, 2014 by librarian-hdThe Capital will have its first sunken interpretation centre linking three historic sites -- Humayun's Tomb, Sundar Nursery and Nizamuddin Basti -- if multiple agencies required to give clearances come together and give the go-ahead for the project.
Interpretation centres, popularly known as site museums that detail the history of a cultural or natural heritage, have been largely missing from the Indian arena. The project, a first of its kind in the country, has been conceptualised and designed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.

Aga Khan: What keeps him on course with reviving cultural heritage in developing world 2013-10-13
Posted October 14th, 2013 by librarian-hdI think what drives our network is to enable people to manage their destinies. Once they manage their destinies, you will see, generally speaking, a take-off situation. It's when they cannot manage their destinies and cannot achieve a level of economic independence that they are indebted in a terrible way or are subject to climate change because they are in agriculture or because they are high-risk and they have an earthquake — these are situations which we try to assist.

Aga Khan Helps Ravaged Syrian City Aleppo Regain Ancient Glory - 2010-04-16
Posted April 16th, 2010 by heritageApril 16 (Bloomberg) -- It's hard to know which of history's episodes was worse for Aleppo, an ancient fortress city in Syria's north. Perhaps it was in the year 1400, when Tamerlane, the invading Mongol-Turkic chieftain, piled thousands of skulls at the town gates to persuade inhabitants to give up.
Or maybe the earthquake of 1136 that killed tens of thousands of inhabitants, or the massacre of Muslims by more Mongol invaders in 1260 or the 19th-century assaults by cholera and plague.

CRUCIAL UPDATE: Please read "Update #6" in the Update Log, it suggests that the staff may not be wholly at fault: fav.me/d57il1d However, the revolution continues as we have yet to receive an answer. Proceed to the latest update below
UPDATE: All Updates will be posted below the journal entry, just ctrl + f "Update #12" to see it. All updates are numbered at the bottom
Please note this event ended a long time ago, though there was no official resolution to the matter, my work is no longer targeted and though I don't know who/what was responsible at the time. I have decided to raise awareness of the literature community through my art, rather than through this event
Breaking the Limit - A Special Event by Chen
Hi there everyone,
I would like to start this with a simple appeal: DA seems to be trying to prevent me from reaching front page by shuffling my literature behind less popular pieces each time it reaches a set fave count. They have not given me a reason for their actions, but I'm looking to turn this set of lemons into lemonade. To do that, I will be hosting an event; because I love to put on a show. Read the summary if you don't like long reads, or read the full event for all the goodies :3
SUMMARY: My work is being targeted, fave it to break the limit and show them who's boss
Introduction Speech:
Brothers and Sisters ,
It appears to me that despite us coming home from the dreary classrooms and boring amphitheatres of our schools and colleges (universities), there are those who seek to continue to control us and tell us how to live our lives. They seek to tell you that your taste counts for nothing and that you should adore only what they want you to adore. This speaks to me of tyranny and abuse; dictatorship at its very finest. Why? Because they are telling you that you are free to like whatever you want...as long as they like it too. As soon as they find something that goes against the grain...they seek to take it away, simply because they want to promote what THEY believe is the correct ideal.
In my long years of study, I have learnt that the variable most unpredictable; most immeasurable: is the human spirit. Humans are innovative, destructive, loving, caring. We have so much capacity for change within us, that it seems foolish to have to cage that away. Fortunately, I will not let my spirits be caged once again; not when I have earned my freedom. Hence, I will be hosting the following event, to BREAK the conventions and shackles that they seek to place upon me. The details of the event are as follows:
Supporter Classes:
In order to overcome these limits that I have been shackled with, I will need support. However, rather than simply asking for support; I shall turn it into a game for all to enjoy. As with all good games, they start with CLASSES!
Basic Support - These are people who want to remain anonymous. All they have to do is simply favourite my works when they view it (think of it as courtesy). Surely, one click of a button is not too much to ask ^^
Knights of the Round - Supporters in this class will have the following things:
1) Their icon displayed here in the journal, the current Knights are:
Knight , Knight , Knight , Knight Knight
Knight Knight Knight Knight Knight
Knight Knight Knight Knight Knight
Knight Knight
2) Exposure from me, daily faves and views of their work :3
How do you make it into this class? SIMPLE! All you have to do in addition to faving my work, is to simply put up journals that help to raise awareness of the problem OR raise awareness through alternative means (check with me first). Examples:
i) Putting up a journal that tells people to have a look at the 24 hr lit page and seeing the difference in pieces
ii) Telling people about the problem of DA tweaking their own system to change public perception
Note: It would be nice if you told them to also fave my work in the journal, but this is NOT a requirement. I want to raise awareness of the issue more than anything, as this is no different from governments trying to silence the freedoms of the public.
Note 2: Putting up a journal just once will get you featured only for a short while. I don't expect a journal screaming about this everyday, but keep awareness of the issue alive. That is all ^^
Godfathers/Godmothers - Supporters of this class will have the following things:
1) Their icon AND group icon displayed here in the journal, the current Godparents are:
Godfather, from the group
Godmother, from the group
Godmother, from the group
Godmother, from the group
Godmother, from the group
Godfathers, and (and all the co-founders) of
Godmother, from the group
2) Exposure from me, daily faves and views of their work :3
How do you make it into this class? Just follow these steps:
i) This class is only for Group Founders/Co-Founders who are willing to get their groups to help out.
ii) Just put up journals explaining the situation and the event and raise awareness of the problem. Get people to be aware of the fact that freedom is something we all have a right to and that it is worth fighting for.
PROPHETS OF DOOOOOM! - Spelt with exactly 5 O's. This class will probably be empty for awhile, but it is reserved for the people who want to literally dedicate their lives and souls to the cause and lay it on the LINE! Here is what they get:
1) Honourable Mentions in every poem posted.
2) Their icon AND their main group icon (if they are founder/co-founder) displayed here. The current prophets are:
Prophet Prophet Prophet
3) Exposure from me, daily faves and views of their work :3
How do you make it in? Well, it's a little tougher:
i) Be an ultra activist. Fave every piece that comes out...heck go fave the old stuff too. Get people to be aware and convert them with the power of speech! (for Age of Empires players I will accept 'Wololol, aiyoyoyo') Your job is to be a prophet of doom, so get the support of the masses.
ii) Go to forums, start topics (NO SPAM OR FLAMING), just mature topics where you tell people about the problem and let them start getting active.
iii) Use your journal! Much like Luke uses the force...
iv) VOLUNTEERS ONLY! No wishy-washy commitments
i) Create fake accounts to fave. This is illegal
ii) Get people to create accounts just to fave. It's kind of the same as above. If you do do this, make sure the person really wants to be a member of Deviant Art and they must put up at least 3 - 4 deviations before faving my work and may not just fave and then deactivate their account or something like that. I don't want those kinds of cheap faves. We must win with HONOUR! Whoops wrong one, this is the right one
So, if you fit the requirements (or have the intention of fitting the above requirements) post a comment or send a note. I will add you into the class immediately.
Special Class: Angel of Mercy
This is dedicated to a powerful author who gave me a chance and read my appeal for what it really is. Not a cry for attention, but a fight for fairness and a push against unfair oppression. I am proud to have her support and she even went so far as to give me a premium membership. I am deeply honoured to receive such kindness again, it first began with and it seems angels still watch over me.
Alright, now we get to the part everyone likes. REWARDS!
In addition to the above stuff. Here are some extra collectable goodies for anyone who wants them:
Screen-cap a limit-break - Each poem posted will have a 'Faves Needed for Appeal', if you screen cap it after it breaks (within 10 faves of the break) you receive an honourable mention in the next poem :3. Maximum of three, round robin-style. If you've won before you'll wait till the next cycle before getting your name up again ^^.
Breaking the Limit! - Like in Final Fantasy Seven, I enjoy breaking my limits. So here is what will happen whenever you guys help me break my limit. This starts next week, but I will post pictures of myself (in regular clothes, I'm too poor for outfits) and even try to get videos up on youtube or me talking or doing other funny stuff to entertain you guys ^^. Heck I might sing but your eardrums might bleed. Anyway, just to clarify, breaking the limit means going over and beyond the number of faves that I post up as an appeal.
Swell the forces - If you refer people to me, get them to drop me a note with WHO referred them and I will give you an honourable mention in the next poem.
Have FUN!
The most important thing in the world about this, is to HAVE FUN! Get involved, get active, but don't forget; fighting for freedom and for someone's rights without a smile...that's not what I want. I'm an entertainer and I refer to myself as such. I go by the name Chenbeard because I like to make people smile with my pirate accent. I LOVE to do accents, I LOVE to put on a show and I hope I make this a good one for all of ya'll.
How long will the event run? Till I get an answer. I'll run it for a year if I have to :3
So let's get this party started! Heck...fave this journal right now if you want to xD
Update #12
Posted as at 27th July 2012 4:18pm
To my dearest friend and supporters,
After two days I have finally returned and I need to bring the following news to you:
1) The revolution ends on Sunday, irrespective of the result. I made a promise to end it and so it will end. The admins have no responded to me yet, but that was expected (i was told they would take a long time). Instead I will be using a different method to raise awareness of literature (namely through the use of each of my pieces as a way of bringing awareness to the category specific popular page).
2) I will resume handing out favourites and other items all the way till Sunday.
3) I intend to observe the system over the next three days in the hopes of better understanding it. My research and any discoveries will always be catalogued in my journals, so you will all continue to receive news as soon as I obtain it (which includes information that the admins can hopefully bring back to me).
4) The reason why I was away for two days, was so that I could upgrade my skills. When one chooses to write in a particular style, it is easy to get absorbed into that style and to favour it. This is a natural occurrence, but it stymies creativity and progress. It is common to see artists get locked up in a single style and since I update very frequently, I am at greater risk of that than anyone else. So occasionally I go through self-imposed 'reset' periods. Essentially, I will speak to no one, and not leave the house during this period. The only people who will have contact with me are specifically chosen individuals who sort of serve as a link to the outside world in case anything goes wrong, usually everything is fine though. In any case, I am back now and I hope to see if I have learned anything ^^
P.S. all updates are catalogued here so you can read the history of what has happened: fav.me/d57il1d

We will be staying at CBR in June. We have a standard view in a Preferred building. Unofficial Guide recommends trying to get corner room, but I've also heard second floor is a good option if mobility isn't an issue (which it isn't now--not sure if that will change after doing Epcot ). Any advice would be appreciated on what we should request. Any advice
I think the only reason that they recommend requesting a corner room is because you end up with an extra window. Other than that the rooms are identical. And I think the reason for requesting a 2nd floor room is the theory that you won't hear footsteps/noise above you. IIRC, a standard room will either get you a view of the parkinglot or the courtyard. We've always ended up in the middle of the main floor and never had any noise problems. And the added attraction of a second window is moot if you always have to keep the curtains closed because of foot traffic going past right outside.
For our December stay at CBR I booked a preferred location room and didn't make any requests. We got a room that opened to a beautiful courtyard that looked out to Barefoot Bay. My advice is to book the category you want, not make any requests, and be surprised. It works for me!

Reversal of optical binding force by Fano resonance in plasmonic nanorod heterodimer |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 5, pp. 6601-6608 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1477 KB)
We present calculations of the optical force on heterodimer of two gold nanorods aligned head-to-tail, under plane wave illumination that is polarized along the dimer axis. It is found that near the dipole-quadrupole Fano resonance, the optical binding force between the nanorods reverses, indicating an attractive to repulsive transition. This is in contrast to homodimer which in similar configuration shows no negative binding force. Moreover, the force spectrum features asymmetric line shape and shifts accordingly when the Fano resonance is tuned by varying the nanorods length or their gap. We show that the force reversal is associated with the strong phase variation between the hybridized dipole and quadrupole modes near the Fano dip. The numerical results may be demonstrated by a near-field optical tweezer and shall be useful for studying "optical matters" in plasmonics.

Coverage: ESPN2/WatchESPN
9:00 PM ET, November 29, 2012
Stephen C. O'Connell Center, Gainesville, Florida
Florida has staked an early claim as one of the nation's best teams with its first 5-0 start since the 2009-10 season. But after their first five wins came by an average of 23.8 points, the seventh-ranked Gators will likely learn much more about themselves during a tougher three-game stretch.
It begins Thursday night when they host Marquette in an SEC/Big East Challenge matchup and a rematch of a regional semifinal in last season's NCAA tournament, which Florida won 68-58.After facing the Golden Eagles, Florida will play games at Florida State and at No. 9 Arizona."After November and December are done, we'll look at our non-conference schedule and say there isn't a style, system or situation we haven't really had a chance to get exposed to," coach Billy Donovan said. "I'd think ours has to be one of the more challenging non-conference schedules in the country."The Gators appear to have more stability at point guard after Scottie Wilbekin registered career highs with 17 points, eight assists and five rebounds in a 79-66 home win against UCF on Friday.Wilbekin was expected to be the team's starter entering the season but was initially suspended for an undisclosed violation. His performance against the Knights in his third game back might have been enough to vault him into the starting lineup.Mike Rosario's spot could be in jeopardy after he struggled again. He has 13 assists and 12 turnovers while starting all five games, but he played only four minutes in the second half against UCF after two quick turnovers."I'm at a point with him right now where I just can't deal with the turnovers," Donovan said. "There's good and bad turnovers. There are turnovers where you're trying to make the right play, and for whatever reason you don't quite execute the pass. But then you have what I would consider a high-stepping, one knee up, look away, up in the air, that's in the third row."We're not going to tolerate it."Marquette (5-1) is coming off a 79-46 win against Maryland-Baltimore County on Monday in which it trailed 31-30 with 16:52 left. The Golden Eagles went on a 37-5 run and shot 71.4 percent in the second half to coast to victory."(Coach Buzz Williams) just came in the locker room and said everybody's watching us and everybody's watching this game," said freshman Steve Taylor Jr., who scored a season-high nine points. "So play like us and we'll get it done."Jamil Wilson scored a game-high 15 points and is 14 of 17 from the field over his last two contests. Marquette's formidable bench -- averaging 35.0 points -- came up big again, totaling 39. Davante Gardner continues to lead the team with 14.0 points per game despite not starting.Scoring against Florida's stingy defense, which ranks among the country's best allowing 33.7 percent field-goal shooting and 48.4 points per game, could be a challenge, though Vander Blue's return should help. Williams sat Blue against UMBC after he sprained his knee last week at the Maui Invitational. Blue ranks second on the team with 11.4 points per game.Florida leading scorer Kenny Boynton (16.2 ppg) scored a season-high 24 against UCF three days after spraining his ankle. He played with a tightly taped ankle and received a pain-killing injection before the game.Boynton shot 2 of 10 and scored 11 points in these teams' NCAA tournament matchup as Florida held Marquette to 30.8 percent shooting. The top three scorers in that game -- Florida's Bradley Beal and Marquette's Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom -- are now gone."Two totally different teams," Donovan said. "The one thing that's going to be the same for Marquette is Buzz Williams has got a system and a style of play that he wants to play. ... For us, that's what you're getting prepared and ready for."SPONSORED HEADLINES

Re: Ema Mikulcic cheering thread
A shame about the loss, but overall a good week by Ema
This should move her just a few spots outside of top 400, and with no points to defend until late June she must be feeling optimistic.
Good luck next week!
