TLS Handshake Message for Supplemental Data
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This specification defines a TLS handshake message for exchange of
supplemental application data. TLS hello message extensions are used
to determine which supplemental data types are supported by both the
TLS client and the TLS server. Then, the supplemental data handshake
message is used to exchange the data. Other documents will define
the syntax of these extensions and the syntax of the associated
supplemental data types.
Santesson Standards Track [Page 1]
RFC 4680 TLS Handshake Message for Supplemental Data September 2006
1. Introduction
Recent standards activities have proposed different mechanisms for
transmitting supplemental application data in the TLS handshake
message. For example, recent proposals transfer data that is not
processed by the TLS protocol itself, but assist the TLS-protected
application in the authentication and authorization decisions. One
proposal transfers user name hints for locating credentials, and
another proposal transfers attribute certificates and Security
Assertions Markup Language (SAML) assertions for authorization
In order to avoid definition of multiple handshake messages, one for
each new type of application-specific supplemental data, this
specification defines a new handshake message type that bundles
together all data objects that are to be delivered to the TLS-
protected application and sends them in a single handshake message.
1.1. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [N1].
The syntax for the supplemental_data handshake message is defined
using the TLS Presentation Language, which is specified in Section 4
of [N2].
2. Supplemental Data Handshake Message
The new supplemental_data handshake message type is defined to
accommodate communication of supplemental data objects as agreed
during the exchange of extensions in the client and server hello
messages. See RFC 2246 (TLS 1.0) [N2] and RFC 4346 (TLS 1.1) [N3]
for other handshake message types.
Information provided in a supplemental data object MUST be intended
to be used exclusively by applications and protocols above the TLS
protocol layer. Any such data MUST NOT need to be processed by the
TLS protocol.

My good... that sounds terrible, how could they do it to you.... I'm sick already when I have to watch someone taking my blood...I really fell for you lebasiara... But again I see you're holding on...When I was about 12 I had to have a surgery it was a small one... it took about 20 minutes... it was really short and it wasn't a big deal.... the big deal was though... that the anestesia effect lasted about 15 minutes.... so I could feel everything that the doc was doing for the 15 longest minutes of my life!!!!

Where exactly do you draw the line for 'life begins', and why?
Well, I don't know what the OP would say, but in scientific circles, the question was quite clearly answered back in the mid-1800s, by Louis Pasteur et al. And the clear answer was: It doesn't. We may not know what happened 4.5 billion years ago when our planet was young, but today it's rather well determined that life only continues as a branch of earlier life.
This applies to us humans as it does to everything else living on the planet. The instance of fertilization of an ovum by a sperm doesn't create a new life; it merges two previous living creatures into a single living creature. The participants are at all times alive, and no new life is created.
And note that human ova and sperm are quite definitely human. Straightforward DNA tests will verify this.
The whole religious issue of when "life" begins is bogus. It doesn't. At least, not on our planet. People who claim it does simply don't understand how our reproductive process works. (This doesn't prevent them from reproducing, of course; they don't need to understand for it to work.)
Now I'll wander off, humming Every Sperm is Sacred
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.

2015 IT Data Center Infrastructure Convergence Predictions
IT infrastructure is constantly riding the often-tumultuous waves of consolidation and separation. A typical example would be the eras of mainframe, open systems, and PC computing. No surprise there. For the past three to five years, server virtualization has been a catalyst for data center consolidation, (even though for the most part, IT has mapped server virtualization initiatives to existing IT infrastructure choices, or dare I say legacy infrastructure).
Will enhanced servers do away with need for switches?
As more and more servers are virtualized, connections between them are increasingly handled by virtual switches running on the same servers, begging the question, does the top of rack data center network switchultimately get subsumed into the server?

The present application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/806,714 filed on Oct. 9, 2001 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,607,301 and entitled �DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DARK CURRENT NOISE TEMPERATURE SENSING IN AN IN-VIVO IMAGING DEVICE,� which in turn claims priority from International Application number PCT/IL00/00470 filed 3 Aug. 2000 and Israeli application number 131242 filed Aug. 4, 1999.
The present invention relates to a method and system for measuring the temperature of an environment, such as the interior of the body.
In many circumstances it is important to measure the temperature inside a material body. Such circumstances may occur during industrial processes or exploration and analysis processes, such as in geophysical probing or in medical diagnostics and treatment of internal parts of the body.
Conventional thermometry and absolute thermometry are known methods for measuring temperature.
Conventional thermometry is based upon the temperature coefficient of properties of materials, such as resistance or mechanical expansion.
Absolute thermometry is a method which directly measures thermal energy of a sensor resistance. This method is based upon the known physical phenomenon of spontaneous thermal noise arising from the Brownian motion of ionized molecules within a resistance.
Thermal noise, which can be discussed in terms of thermal current, provides a direct measurement of temperature on a thermodynamic scale, thus the Boltzmann constant defines the temperature. The phenomenon of thermal noise is derived, for example, in the book: CCD arrays cameras and displays by Holst G. C., p. 128, 2nd edition, SPIE Press, 1998. A formula that may be used to define thermal current is, for example:
In image sensors, the thermal current produced in an operating photodetector device, when no optical radiation impinges on the detector, is called �dark current�. In CCD cameras dark current is basically charge which accumulates in the CCD pixels due to thermal noise. The effect of dark current is to produce an additive quantity to the electron count in each pixel.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,937,086 to von Thuna, U.S. Pat. No. 5,354,130 to Seppa et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,197 to Shepard et al. all describe devices for measuring the absolute temperature of a body material by receiving and analyzing the thermal noise of the body material.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,246,784 to Bowen describes a method for noninvasive temperature measurement of th interior of a body using the acoustic thermal noise spectrum of the measured body.
None of these temperature measurement methods utilize an image sensor to measure the thermal noise of a body material.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for sensing the temperature or temperature change of an environment, such as inside a body, by calculating the temperature of an image sensor in the environment and deducing the environment's temperature from the image sensor's calculated temperature. The temperature or temperature change of the image sensor may be calculated by measuring its generated dark current noise.
Embodiments of the present invention may use an image sensor, in which thermal noise is easily detectable, for deducing the temperature of a material body. Furthermore, according to embodiments of the invention, a single sensor is utilized for obtaining visual data and data relating to the temperature of the environment. Thus, diverse information about an environment can be obtained utilizing a single sensing device.
There is thus provided according to an embodiment of the present invention a method for sensing the temperature of an environment comprising the steps of introducing into an environment an image sensor having an image sensing module, sensing the dark current noise of the image sensor, calculating the temperature of the image sensor, calculating the temperature of the environment and optionally displaying the calculated environment temperature.
It will be appreciated that the term �environment� when used herein relates to a space enclosed within walls in which it is desired to measure the temperature of the space and/or of the walls.
The temperature of the image sensor is indicative of the temperature of it's immediate surroundings and, relying on known factors such as heat distribution, distance from the image sensor, etc., the temperature of further areas can also be calculated.
The image sensors utilized in embodiments of the invention can be for example digital cameras or video cameras such as vidiocon, CCD cameras or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) cameras.
Embodiments of the present invention further provide a system for sensing the temperature of an environment. The system comprises an image sensor having an image sensing module in communication with an integrating unit for detecting the dark current of the image sensor image sensing module and for calculating the temperature of the image sensor. The integrating unit may further calculate the temperature of the environment or the temperature of the environment may be calculated, based on data from the integrating unit, by a separate unit that is in communication with the integrating unit.
The integrating unit may have an amplifying function for amplifying signals received from the image sensor.
The communication between the image sensor and integrating unit can be optionally controlled according to the illumination conditions, optionally through a switch which enables communication only during periods in which the sensor is not illuminated.
The present invention will be understood and appreciated more fully from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the figures in which:
In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, units and/or circuits have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention.
Analytical and diagnostic processes which utilize image sensors to monitor environments could benefit from obtaining information relating to the temperature of the environment, as a local change of temperature can indicate an irregular event.
For example, some embodiments described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,604,531, which is assigned to the common assignees of the present application, describe a swallowable device that can pass through the entire digestive tract and operate as an autonomous video endoscope. U.S. Pat. No. 5,604,531, is hereby incorporated by reference. The swallowable device may include a) a camera system, b) an optical system for imaging an area of interest onto the camera system and c) a transmitter which transmits the video output of the camera system and/or other data. Visual data obtained by the swallowable device can indicate, inter alia, the location of pathologies in the gastrointestinal tract. Also a local change of temperature in the gastrointestinal tract can be indicative of a pathology. Thus, the information obtained by visual means can be complemented and focused by information relating to local temperature in the gastrointestinal tract. An external receiving, processing and/or display system may receive, process and or display data received from the device.
The method of an embodiment of the present invention may enable simultaneous visual monitoring and temperature sensing.
The method is schematically described by a block diagram shown in
Illumination is provided intermittently, either by elements connected to the image sensor itself or by external sources. When illumination is provided 12 only visual data is obtained 14 and displayed 16. A process for obtaining and displaying visual data is described, for example, in the above mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,604,531.
In an intermittent dark period 11 an integrating unit 100 is activated to obtain dark current data 13 from the image sensor, though it is not imperative to shut off illumination in order to obtain data relating to dark current noise, as will be discussed in more detail below.
The integrating unit 100 is a processor capable of amplifying the obtained data 15, if necessary, and calculating the image sensor temperature 17 using the known equations derived for thermal noise. It will be appreciated that these equations are an approximation of a complex phenomenon and that calibration should be employed in order to deduce the actual calculations that will be applied. According to some embodiments, for example, as schematically illustrated in
According to an embodiment of the invention a dark current data sample may be obtained (501), for example, according to a predetermined schedule or by any other appropriate method (for example, as discussed below). Dark current data sample may be compared, for example by using a change detector, to a previous dark current sample (502). A difference between two samples can indicate a temperature change. According to some embodiments a sample may be compared to an average or other manipulation of several previous samples. Thus, the actual temperature of the image sensor and/or of the body lumen environment need not be calculated.
According to some embodiments a change in dark current data may be displayed (503). According to other embodiments only a change which is above a predetermined threshold may displayed. According to yet further embodiments a change which is over a predetermined threshold may be used as a trigger for changing the activity of other elements of the system. For example, a swallowable device, such as described in the above mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,604,531, may include an integrating unit or other calculating unit which may be capable of detecting a change in dark current data, as described above. The integrating unit may be in communication with other elements of the device, such as the power supply or the illumination system or transmitter of the device, and an ON or OFF signal may be generated, typically by the integrating unit, to any of these elements in accordance with detected dark current changes. Thus, the operational mode or settings of an in vivo sensor can be altered or activated in response to in vivo temperature. According to certain embodiments, a swallowable device may include a controller or calculating unit for activating or altering the operational mode or settings of the device in response to signals from the integrating unit, Such an embodiment may be useful in some case for example, for saving energy. According to one embodiment after a device or other in-vivo device is swallowed the patient is made to ingest a volume of cold or hot water at regular intervals. According to one embodiment the patient ingests cold or hot water over a period of a few hours, for example, a period in which the device has most probably left the stomach. While the device is in the stomach an ingested volume of cold or hot water may cause a change of temperature in the stomach environment, Once in the small intestine, the effect of a cold or hot drink is no longer felt. According to one embodiment of the invention a change of temperature may be checked at predetermined intervals. While a temperature change (typically above a predetermined threshold) is detected the device may be kept inactive. If a temperature change is not sensed the device may be triggered to activate the device. Thus, the device begins collecting data only when it is close to the large intestine thereby saving energy and allowing effective and complete action of the device in the large intestine.
The environment temperature or a change in environment temperature is then calculated 19, by the integrating unit 100, by a separate unit in communication with the integrating unit 100, or possibly by another unit. Calculations of the environment temperature may be based on the existence of thermal equilibrium between the image sensor and environment. These calculations take into account energy dissipation from the image sensor. Local temperature or the average temperature within the environment may be calculated, depending on specific requirements. The calculated temperature may then be displayed 18.
It will be appreciated that the various calculations and/or detections may be carried out by software or software means executable on computing means such as a computer or similar data processors, microprocessors, embedded processors, microcomputers, microcontrollers etc.
The integrating unit 100 may include separate processors, which need not all be physically connected. Some of the functions carried out by integrating unit 100, such as calculating the image sensor temperature 17 and calculating the environment temperature 19, can be carried out in processors that are external to the environment and that are fed with data from the integrating unit 100 by communication such as by IR or radio. Indeed, if an operator is to note the temperature of the environment, at least the function of displaying the calculated temperature 18 must be performed externally to the environment.
Integrating unit 100 may be in communication with other units to further process and use the data obtained by it. For example, a device, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,604,531, may include a sample chamber for collecting samples from the environment of the digestive tract. The process of collecting a sample can be controlled by integrating unit 100, such that samples are collected only in locations along the digestive tract in which a predetermined temperature is prevalent or in which a certain temperature change has been detected.
Reference is now made to
When communication between the image sensor 20 and integrating unit 22 is established, integrating unit 22 receives dark current data from image sensor 20.
In an alternate embodiment a switch and/or illumination indicator need not be used. According to some embodiments dark current data may be received from the image sensor 20 continuously or according to a predetermined time schedule. For example, a system in which 25 ms light flashes are followed by 475 ms dark periods, may be programmed to sample dark current data once every dark period. In an alternate embodiment a system may include a dark frame once every so often, e.g., one frame in every 256 frames is not illuminated. According to some embodiments a system may be programmed to sample dark current data -during a dark frame. Other time periods or intervals may be used.
It is possible to calculate the image sensor's 20 temperature or temperature change based on dark current data obtained from a single pixel of the image sensor pixel array, though data obtained from a higher number of pixels may achieve more accurate results. It is therefore possible to keep a portion of the image sensor's 20 pixels of the pixel array, constantly unexposed to illumination, and obtain dark current data from the unexposed pixels, without having to shut off the illumination. Thus simultaneous image capture and and temperature sensing may be carried out.
Thus, dark current data can be obtained also during constant illumination by either covering a portion of the pixels of the pixel array or by having a portion of the pixel array pixels outside of the image field, e.g. the pixels in the periphery of the pixel array.
The integrating unit 22 may be or include a processor capable of amplifying the dark current signal and calculating the image sensor temperature from the dark current signal. It may be capable of calculating the environment temperature from the image sensor temperature and is capable of displaying the calculated environment temperature 21. Integrating unit 22 may control different temperature sensitive units 28, such as a sample chamber, in correspondence with predetermined temperatures or temperature changes. A transmitter 29 may transmit data such as image data, dark current data, temperature data, and/or temperature change data.
The system may also include a change detector 222 (typically in communication with the integrating unit 22) and a controller 225 for activating or altering the operational mode or settings of the device in response to signals from the integrating unit 22 or another unit,
The various processing and detecting components described herein, and their functionalities, may be combined over different components than separately shown. For example, a single controller may perform all functionality. In one embodiment control and calculation capability may be included within transmitter 29.
Reference is now made to
Signals can be received from all the pixels of the pixel array 48. Dark current is received from pixels that are not illuminated or from pixels during a dark period whereas current signals received from an illuminated pixel are the summation of the dark current and light current of the pixel. The accumulation of signals from all the pixels is converted to data which is communicated through a transmitter such as transmitter 29 to the integrating unit for decoding and for displaying a visual representation and/or the temperature derived from the data.
The system of an embodiment of the invention will be further described and demonstrated by
The medical device illustrated in
Alternatively, the illumination indicator 33 may be activated by the operator to simultaneously turn off the illumination elements 36 and switch the temperature sense switch to an ON position.
Once communication is established between camera 32 and integrating unit 34 dark current signals generated from camera 32 may be received and processed, as described above, by integrating unit 34. The calculated gastrointestinal temperature, or temperature change may be displayed on a display unit external to the gastrointestinal tract. For example, a workstation or personal computer may indicate that a change in temperature occurred, the direction of temperature change, and/or the amount of temperature change. Other body lumens may have temperature or temperature change detected.
All or part of the functionality of receiving dark current data and calculating a temperature or temperature change may be carried out by parts of an external receiving, processing and/or display system, such as a remote personal computer or workstation.
Swallowable device 30 may include a sample chamber 35 for collecting samples from the gastrointestinal tract environment. The collected sample may be cells from the gastrointestinal tract walls or a liquid sample from the gastrointestinal tract environment. The mechanism for collecting samples, which can be any suitable mechanism known in the art, is controlled by integrating unit 34, such that it is activated in accordance with the gastrointestinal tract environment calculated temperature. Alternatively, the mechanism can be controlled by the operator based on the displayed temperature.
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to what has been particularly shown and described hereinabove.

Hospitals Attempt to Usher in New Era of Accountability for Medical Mistakes
When most people are wronged, what they would like most is an apology and some form of restitution that will make things right. Two years ago, Massachusetts enacted a law that was meant to encourage hospitals to apologize to patients and attempt to come to a resolution when a procedure has gone awry. The thought is that the admission of mistakes will allow doctors to improve themselves and give patients the much needed closure that they desire. Coming to a… more »

• Jacob "The Dutchman" Waltz and his partner, a boyhood friend named Jacob Weisner, are on an adventure in Mexico, when they break up a crooked game of cards, standing up to a local thug and impressing a Spanish Don named Miguel Peralta.
• Peralta owns a rich mine in Arizona. Fearing the Apache and impressed by Waltz and Weisner, Peralta asks them to provide protection as his crew travels to the mine. They agree to do so for a share of the profits.
• Waltz and Weisner watch as Peralta's employees mine the richest ore they've ever seen from a well-hidden hole in the Superstitions.
• Peralta persuades the men to give him back their share of the profits. In return, they are allowed to work the mine themselves, taking even more gold.
• When they arrive at the mine, Waltz and Weisner accidentally shoot two of Peralta's workers who had come back to poach gold.
• The men work for a while, amassing untold riches.
• A wayward mule eats part of the men's rations, forcing Waltz to leave Weisner alone while he goes to town for more food.
• Weisner falls victim to Indian attack while Waltz is in town.
• Waltz returns too late to save his friend and, heartbroken, covers up the mine, fleeing with as much gold as he can carry.
• After catching pneumonia in a flood, Waltz tells his caretaker, Julia Thomas, and her adopted son, Reiney Petrasch, the mine's location.
• Petrasch and Thomas search for the mine together. They never find it.
• Petrasch is found with a shotgun blast to the head, though whether it was the result of suicide or attempted extortion remains hotly debated.
• Jacob "The Dutchman" Waltz is attacked by Indians near the Superstition Mountains, narrowly escaping.
• Having lost his horse and his supplies, Waltz meets three friendly Mexicans who are busy working a very rich mine.
• They feed Waltz and offer to take him to town after they're done digging.
• Waltz shoots the Mexicans, takes their gold, and conceals the mine's entrance.
• Waltz secretly returns to work the mine every few years.
• At one point, Waltz's nephew comes from Germany to work the mine.
• The nephew wants to record the mine's location and get proper mineral rights. The old Dutchman doesn't like that idea so he murders his nephew.
• Waltz carries on this way, indiscriminately shooting anyone who comes near the mine. Stories of his ruthlessness spread.
• Despite the danger, a man named Dick Holmes tries to trail Waltz to his mine only to be warned at gunpoint to turn back.
• Waltz falls ill and his caretaker, Julia Thomas, goes to fetch a doctor.
• In Thomas' absence, Waltz calls Holmes to his bedside and tells him the mine's location.
• Waltz also tells Holmes to take the gold ore from under his bed.
• Holmes passes this story, and the gold he took from under Waltz's bed, to his son Brownie, who popularizes the legend.

Peavy Backstage 30 Schematic Help
I'm trying to find a spec for a diode on the circuit board.
The diode is different than the others. And is zapped.
I can't read a part number on or near it.
Here is a part of the schematic:
I need the specs on those diodes. Hope someone can help.
The entire schematic is linked below.
Pooh Bear
Here is a link that might be useful: Peavy Backstage 30 Schematic
All 4 diodes are all 1N4003.
It is written right on the schematic.
Google that part number and
you will find a 'spec sheet'
Also, you will find where
you can order them from.
I don't understand why one
would be different from the others
unless someone replaced it before.
That's all I could think of: Somebody replaced it before.
I finally figured it out after I posted this. 1N4003.
I didn't see it until I was looking at the blown up picture above.
The new Peavy part number is 70464003.
Silicon rectifier 5 amp 200 PRV DO-41 package.
Pooh Bear
A 1N4003 has a 1 amp rating not 5 amp. It is one of the most common diodes around and you can easily find them at Radio Shack.
I would just replace all four since they may be breaking down due to age anyway.
I do highly recommend replacing the filter capacitor as well since the amp could be from as early as 1977 (according to the schematic). Electrolytic capacitors dry up and can cause hum in the audio, component failure, and are the most common cause of the diode failure in the power supply like you experienced.
Your link is gone but I think it was a 2200 ufd @ 50 volt electrolytic - should be easy to find as well.

Papaver orientale (Oriental poppy) is a perennial flowering plant native to the Caucasus, northeastern Turkey, and northern Iran.Oriental poppies throw up a mound of finely cut, hairy foliage in spring. After flowering the foliage dies away entirely, a property that allows their survival in the summer drought of Central Asia. Late-developing plants can be placed nearby to fill the developing gap. Fresh leaves appear with autumn rains. Papaver orientale has a hardiness zone of 3-8 average. It usually thrives in light calcareous soil and in full sun or part shade. Seeds are sown after the potential of frost has passed, the average temperature is approximately 21 °C and when soil has thoroughly warmed. The seeds are sown at a depth of about one centimeter, or less as light may stimulate germination. Oriental Poppies do not handle transplanting or over-watering well. Germination period is 10–20 days. Mulch can be used to protect the plant over the winter and cutting off the stem will produce a second flower. Aside from its natural brilliant orange-scarlet, since the later 19th century selective breeding for gardens has created a range of colors from clean white with eggplant-black blotches (Barr's White is the standard against which other whites are measured), through clear true pinks and salmon pinks to deep maroons and plum. In addition petals may be creased or fringed, such as Türkenlouis.
Outstanding capture.

McLemore keeps Jayhawks soaring
December, 21, 2012
By Katie Sharp, ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
Rich Sugg/Kansas City Star/MCT via Getty ImagesBen McLemore has been a huge reason behind Kansas' eight-game win streak.
It's not even Christmas yet and we already have our fifth top-10 matchup of the season, when No. 9 Kansas travels to Columbus to face seventh-ranked Ohio State on Saturday.
Kansas won both meetings with Ohio State last season, including a 64-62 nailbiter in the Final Four. The Jayhawks own a 7-3 edge in the all-time series, including wins in their past five meetings. Ohio State hasn't beaten Kansas since 1986.
Kansas has won eight straight since its loss to Michigan State on November 13, including its past four by an average of nearly 25 points per game. A big reason for the recent surge has been the emergence of redshirt freshman Ben McLemore.
He started slowly this season, averaging fewer than 14 points per game in his first six games. He has begun to emerge as the go-to scorer for the Jayhawks over the past few weeks, averaging 19 points per game and shooting 54 percent from the floor in the past four games.
His ability to score within the flow of the offense has been central to his development this season. The guard from St. Louis has really improved his shooting efficiency on plays coming off a screen, an area that he struggled with at the start of the season.
McLemore has made 5-of-10 shots coming off a screen in his past four games, including 4-of-7 3-pointers. In his first six games he connected on just 3-of-16 attempts coming off a screen, and missed all eight of those shots from beyond the arc.
Because of his ability to get open on these screen plays, McLemore has had much more success recently on making jump shots without needing a dribble.
All but two of his 16 catch-and-shoot jumpers have been uncontested in his past four games, and he has hit 11 of those 16 shots.
In his first six games, he was guarded on two-thirds of his catch-and-shoot jumpers and often misfired, making just 7-of-24 attempts.
His best shooting day came against Belmont on December 15, when he made four of his five no-dribble jump shots en route to a 17-point effort. Patience was key against the Bruins, as three of his four catch-and-shoot makes came with less than 15 seconds remaining on the shot clock.
McLemore will face perhaps his stiffest test yet from the Buckeyes' two primary perimeter defenders on Saturday, Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. When defending the player coming off a screen, the duo has forced their man to miss 14-of-18 shots without committing a foul this season.
Stat of the game
The Jayhawks have 20 wins against top-10 teams under coach Bill Self since the 2003-04 season. However, just three have come on the road, and only one of those is against a non-conference team: at No. 8 Kentucky on January 9, 2005.

My Sophomore year in college, I actually gained 8 lbs. over the course of the holiday. But that was a long time ago when I was eating like a beast. I don't want to be too glutenous this year, as the pain is never fun (certainly a pyrrhic victory) and I am trying to workout and watch my weight.
Anyway, have a great holiday everyone.

We're equally smitten with Jouer's Glisten Brightening Powder, which gives your face a luminous glow.
Availability: In stock
We pay plenty of attention to the skin on our face, but often forget about the rest of our body. This intensely hydrating butter is exactly what your limbs need. The formula is loaded with naturally nourishing ingredients like shea butter, jojoba, and coconut oil, and sinks in quickly to rehydrate skin. Thanks to the subtle blend of gardenia, jasmine, and honeysuckle scents, you'll smell as good as you feel.
The lightweight whipped formula absorbs almost immediately, leaving skin velvety soft. The winning ingredient is shea butter, which defeats dryness and protects skin. Honorable mentions go to coconut, jojoba, sweet almond, and avocado oils, which work together to deliver an extra dose of hydration.
Smooth a generous amount into the skin all over your body, concentrating on rough places like your elbows and knees.
Water (Aqua), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Fragrance, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Sorbitan Stearate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter, Cetyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Capryl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Dimethicone, Vegtable Oil, Bht, Tetrasodium Edta.
I just couldn't get past the smell with this product. It reminded me of old ladies.
This worked well on my skin, especially in dry winter weather. It rehydrated my legs and had a nice light smell. I highly recommend giving this cream a try if you have sensitive skin.
My absolute favorite body moisturizer, I love the scents and that it is super moisturizing, but also absorbs into the skin super fast! My favorite scent is the Jasmine, I find the Vanilla Guava to be a bit too strong for my tastes, but still an amazing body butter, worth every penny.
This scent was lovely but not as moisturizing as I expected. The scent lasted but I have extra dry skin so it ma be more appropriate for summer. My only complaint is that it's rather pricey for a jar that doesn't seem quite full.
Love the smell, love the texture. Very effective for my dry, colorado skin. Dislike price and size of package. Only enough to use for hands occasionally.
I I absolutely love this product goes on smooth its not oily and the smell is amazing for me I have very dry skin so this helps a lot I recommend this to anyone who has dry skin or anyone that needs a little moisture
I have been using this for a while now and would never purchase another body butter! This is just what your skin needs after getting out of the shower and it smells wonderful!
This body butter is wonderful! I purchased the full size product on a whim looking for something to hydrate my dry skin. The consistency and lasting power is amazing - I hesitated with the 5th star only because of the $$ for such a relatively small container.
Extremely hydrating and doesn't leave a greasy feeling! I love how soft my skin feels after using it. Would definitely recommend!
Love it!!! It was smooth and gave me great skin.
so in love with this product. You've got to try it!
