Political commentator Paul / THU 6-13-13 / Tay Fyne / African healer / French composer Edouard / English word derived from Tswana / 2012 software release / Palazzo Alfieri's locale /
Thursday, June 13, 2013
Constructor: David Steinberg
Relative difficulty: Medium-Challenging
THEME: WINDOWS 8 (65A: 2012 software release ... or a hint to the starts of the answers to the starred clues) — said words can precede "window" in a common phrase ... they're types of windows *or* states that a window might be in ... something like that ...
Word of the Day: "Hop-o'-My-Thumb" (3D: "Hop-o'-My-Thumb" figure => OGRE) —
"Hop-o'-My-Thumb", also known as "Little Thumbling" (French: Le Petit Poucet), was first published by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697.[1] It is Aarne-Thompson type 327B, the small boy defeats the ogre.[2] This type of fairy tale, in the French oral tradition, is often combined with motifs from the type 327A, similar toHansel and Gretel; one such tale is The Lost Children. (wikipedia)
The theme feels a bit dicey to me, mainly because CRACKED and BAY are in completely different universes, adjective-wise, as they relate to "window." True, a window might be CRACKED or OPEN, but those are simple adjectives describing virtually any window, which seems very different from places where the window exists (CAR) or types of window (BAY) or shapes of window (OVAL), etc. Eight long theme answers is an impressive total, and that theme density makes the overall smoothness of the fill especially admirable. But the wobbliness of the theme, and just the appearance of shameless shilling for a corporation, dampened my enjoyment a little.
The weirdest part of my solve, however, was how much more difficult I found the tiny NW corner than I found any other part of the grid. The puzzle played like a pretty normal Thursday *except* for the five missing squares I had up there. I came to a dead halt. Just ... stopped. For a while, I thought I might have to look up what the hell "Hop-o'-My-Thumb" was (never heard of it). Had -A- TRIPS and it seemed like it could be anything. Or nothing. I wanted DAY (but there are no DAY windows ... I don't think). 1D: Tangent starter? made no sense to me. Wanted ON A, but was pretty sure ADO was right for 1A: Rowdydow, which made ON A impossible. I don't like the "?" in the ARC clue. It's not really a play on words in any sense, and ARC does, literally, "start" tangent (in the word "arctangent"). Anyway, ARC never crossed my mind. OGRE never crossed my mind. And ZEE!? (20A: 90 degrees from N?) I knew it had to be right, but couldn't figure how. My thinking: "N" is in the middle of the alphabet and ... ZEE is at the end, so ... somehow ... applying a geometrical metaphor ... nope, nothing. Only after I was finished did I get it—rotate the letter "N" ninety degrees, and you get the letter "Z." It's a great clue, but in that already nightmarish corner, it was too much for me. I think I only put that corner together after trying different kinds of windows and stumbling into CAR. I would never have finished, I don't think, if I hadn't actually seen "Bad Teacher" in the theater (2D: "Bad Teacher" star, 2011 => DIAZ).
Theme answers:
- 17A: *Some vacation travel (CAR TRIPS)
- 6D: *What makes bread rise? (POP-UP TOASTER)
- 22D: *1965 hit that ends "My baby don't care" ("TICKET TO RIDE")
- 11D: *Area with the world's highest tides (BAY OF FUNDY)
- 12D: *Bushes were once found there (OVAL OFFICE)
- 41A: *Caboose (REAR END)
- 29D: *Like Linux (OPEN SOURCE)
- 30D: *Frozen daiquiri ingredient (CRACKED ICE)
- 4A: Its logo's letters have a stripe running through them (ESPN) — a useless clue. I watch ESPN every day, and this logo feature is not a defining feature. It may be a feature, it's just not one that stands out as important.
- 15A: African healer (ALOE) — another tough clue. Looking for a name of a kind of person. Then got the "A" and realized what was going on.
- 46A: English word derived from Tswana (TSE-TSE) — Again, tough. No indication of what kind of word ... category ... anything ...
- 50A: ___ equivalent (measure of explosive energy) (TNT) — ????????
- 69A: Axe target? (ODOR) — again, technically, no "?" needed. Axe is a brand of body spray. It literally targets odor. You wouldn't put a "?" in [Ban target?] or [Secret target?]. Or maybe you would. But you shouldn't. The clue is literal.
- 25D: Apt anagram of Russ. (USSR) — strangely, I liked this.
- 28D: French composer Édouard (LALO) — not someone I listen to, so I have no idea how/why I remembered him, but I did. Probably because he's not that uncommon in crosswords. Did not have as much luck remembering GIGOT (53D: Political commentator Paul), whose crossword fame is ... nil.

Why bird droppings matter to manta rays: discovering unknown ecological connections
(06/04/2012) Ecologists have long argued that everything in the nature is connected, but teasing out these intricate connections is not so easy. In fact, it took research on a remote, unoccupied island for scientists to discover that manta ray abundance was linked to seabirds and thereby native trees.
After damning research, France proposes banning pesticide linked to bee collapse
(06/04/2012) Following research linking neonicotinoid pesticides to the decline in bee populations, France has announced it plans to ban Cruiser OSR, an insecticide produced by Sygenta. Recent studies, including one in France, have shown that neonicotinoid pesticides likely hurt bees' ability to navigate, potentially devastating hives. France has said it will give Sygenta two weeks to prove the pesticide is not linked to the bee decline, known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).

Carbon levels fluctuate depending on the region and the season and scientists say global concentrations will likely remain at around 395 ppm for the time being.
Indigenous rights rising in tropical forests, but big gaps remain
(05/31/2012) In the last twenty years, rights for indigenous forest dwellers have expanded significantly, according to a new report by the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI). Covering nearly thirty tropical forest countries, the report finds that indigenous people now hold rights to 31 percent of the forest land in these countries, rising from 21 percent in 1992. However, landmark land rights for indigenous people remain imperiled by lack of enforcement, land-grabbing, government ambivalence, and industrial development. The report comes less than a month before the Rio+20 Summit on Sustainable Development, a meeting of global leaders that marks two decades since the Rio Earth Summit.

Regulations help fish, and fishermen, recover in the U.S.
(05/30/2012) Marine fish populations in the U.S. are generally recovering, according to a new report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Last year six fish populations reached healthy levels in the U.S., boosting the total number of fish populations that have recovered to 27 since 2000. The success is due to the implementation of science-based annual catch limits which regulate how many fish are caught every year.
IKEA logging old-growth forest for low-price furniture in Russia
(05/30/2012) A new campaign is targeting IKEA, the world's biggest furniture retailer, for logging old-growth forests in the Karelia region of Russia. An alliance of groups, headed by the Swedish NGO Protect the Forest, allege that IKEA's subsidiary, Swedwood, is clearcutting thousands of hectares of old and biodiverse forests. But, Swedwood's 300,000 hectare concession is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), generally considered the world's strongest forestry certifier.
President Rousseff vetoes some controversial changes to Brazil's Forest Code
(05/29/2012) Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff on Monday revealed the details of her line-item veto to proposed changes to the country's Forest Code, which governs how much forest landowners are required to preserve. Rousseff vetoed a dozen clauses of the revised Forest Code and modified several others. The bill now goes back to the Chamber of Deputies, followed by the Senate and House, before returning again to Rousseff. A final decision isn't expected until after the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development.

Another record in global carbon emissions puts globe on track for 'devastating consequences'
(05/29/2012) Last year global carbon dioxide emissions rose 3.2 percent to a new record of 31.6 gigatons, keeping the planet on track to suffer dangerous climate change, which could propel global crop failures, sea level rise, worsening extreme weather, and mass extinction. According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), China's carbon emissions rose the most last year (9.3 percent) while emissions in Europe and the U.S. dipped slightly. China is the currently the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, while the U.S. has emitted the most historically.
Massive economic growth does little for happiness in China
(05/29/2012) Economic growth alone may not raise happiness, according to a recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy Science (PNAS).

Palm oil giant making good on forest commitment in Indonesia, finds independent analysis
(05/29/2012) Palm oil giant PT SMART appears to be honoring its commitment to avoid conversion of high carbon forests in Indonesian Borneo, reports a new assessment published by Greenomics, an Indonesian environmental activist group. The report was issued 15 months after PT SMART — a subsidiary of Singapore-based Golden Agri Resources (GAR) and owned by Indonesia's Sinarmas Group — signed a landmark agreement with The Forest Trust (TFT) to spare forests and peatlands that have more than 35 tons of carbon per hectare. The deal came after a damaging Greenpeace campaign, which targeted PT SMART for clearing orangutan habitat in Kalimantan and cost the company millions of dollars in contracts.
Another red herring from Asia Pulp & Paper on its deforestation problem
(05/29/2012) In a press release issued last Thursday, Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) asserted that the presence of mixed tropical hardwood fiber (MTH) in its products 'does not come from the felling of virgin tropical rainforest trees in Indonesia'. The embattled paper giant goes on to say that 'the presence of MTH fiber says nothing about whether the product is sustainable or not" and that "MTH can be found easily in recycled paper.' All these points are true. But what APP doesn't tell you is that its response is yet another facade in its effort to deflect criticism from its forestry practices.
Tropical dams are a false solution to climate change
(05/27/2012) Tropical dams emit considerably more greenhouse gas emissions than their temperate counterparts yet are being treated as a solution to climate change, warns a report published in Nature Climate Change.
Brazil's Rousseff vetoes part of controversial Forest Code revision

Nearly 2,000 fish species traded in U.S. tropical aquarium market
(05/24/2012) The U.S. tropical aquarium market poses problems and opportunities for conservation, according to a landmark study published in the open-access journal PLoS ONE. The study reviewed import records in the U.S. for one year (2004-2005) and found that over 11 million wild tropical fish from 1,802 species were imported from 40 different countries. While the number of fish species targeted surprised researchers, the total amount of fish imported was actually less than expected.
New Google Earth tool maps deforestation, threatened forests in Sumatra

Island bat goes extinct after Australian officials hesitate
(05/23/2012) Nights on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean will never again be the same. The last echolocation call of a tiny bat native to the island, the Christmas Island pipistrelle (Pipistrellus murrayi), was recorded on August 26th 2009, and since then there has been only silence. Perhaps even more alarming is that nothing was done to save the species. According to a new paper in Conservation Letters the bat was lost to extinction while Australian government officials equivocated and delayed action even though they were warned repeatedly that the situation was dire. The Christmas Island pipistrelle is the first mammal to be confirmed extinct in Australia in 50 years.

Seagrass beds store 20 billion tons of carbon
(05/22/2012) Just below the ocean's surface lies a carbon powerhouse: seagrass meadows. New research in Nature Geoscience estimates that the world's seagrass meadows conservatively store 19.9 billion metric tons of carbon, even though the threatened marine ecosystems make up only 0.2 percent of Earth's surface. The findings lend support to the idea that seagrass protection and restoration could play a major role in mitigating climate change.
New frog species leaves scientists' fingers yellow
(05/22/2012) A beautiful, yellow frog species has been discovered in western Panama, according to a new paper in ZooKeys. Scientists were surprised when handling the new species to find their fingers stained bright yellow by its skin, but even after laboratory research the purpose of this dye remains a mystery. The new species, named Diasporus citrinobapheus, is a member of the large rain frog family, whose members skip the tadpole stage and instead are born directly from eggs as tiny froglets.
Indonesia revises moratorium map; makes contested orangutan forest off-limits
(05/22/2012) Indonesia is making 'encouraging' progress on its push to reduce deforestation by improving governance over its forests and peatlands, but still needs to do more to enforce environmental laws, said the head of the country's Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) task force speaking at a press conference Monday in Jakarta. Kuntoro Mangkusubroto, Head of the Indonesian President's Delivery Unit for Development Monitoring and Oversight (UKP4) and Chair of the REDD+ Task Force, said an effort to develop a map of Indonesia's forests and forest concessions has been completed, although the Ministry of Forestry has yet to deliver the map to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, missing last Friday's deadline. The map serves as the basis for a two-year moratorium on new forestry concessions in primary forests and peatlands had been completed.

This is my second picture in my series about the Norse gods.
In the second picture, I've chosen to portray Freya, goddess of war, love and magic. I see her as a dark-haired beauty with large cat-like eyes. I chose the blue dress to show her high position among the Norse gods. And obvious her cats shcould be in the picture too. ;)
This picture is with the image of Loki given as a wedding gift.

I guess that's true, in retrospect. Does Wikia not have the feature where, when blocking, you can check a box and block the IP address that the person is using? It works quite well on Wikipedia in stopping most sockpuppets.

Yeah, we do. Unfortunately, sometimes folks have floating IPs, because they sign in from a service like AOL, so it's not a perfect system. You can also get around it by going to a friend's house, or the library, or whatever. So we block IPs for persistent people like the guy yesterday, but it's still possible to slip through once in a while.

Editors' Review
+If you're looking to make free voice or video calls worldwide, Skype is a great start. Its clean and user-friendly interface makes interaction effortless, so you are ready to go as soon as you launch the app.
During our testing, we were impressed by the video and voice quality of Skype, which uses VoIP (Voice over IP) technology to enable communication worldwide without paying a cent. One of its best features is the chat and mood messages: if you are in the middle of something, you can inform your contacts about it or just type a text message instead of having a voice call. This is a nice feature on its own, but it's also handy if you don't have a microphone.
But this isn't the only feature you'll love: we also enjoyed Skype's ability to handle conference calling, group video calling, and screen sharing. In other words, if you have a reliable Internet connection, Skype can easily replace your phone and lower your communication bills.
To make calls, all you have to do is create a contact list of friends, family, and colleagues, but they must also have Skype, as only Skype-to-Skype calls are free. However, a great addition to the app is its ability to call landlines or mobile phones, but you'll need to purchase Skype credits to take advantage of this feature.
Its chatlike user interface makes Skype very easy to use, yet the key to optimum performance is a reliable Internet connection. As soon as you launch the app and start using it, you will surely place Skype among your favorite apps, just like we did after our test. Skype's useful features and intuitive user interface make the app appropriate for users of all levels.

Lightning Strikes Spark New Wash. Wildfires
Fire crews are scrambling to respond to reports of new wildfires sparked by lightning after thunderstorms swept through central Washington.
Jim Duck is the operations coordinator for the region's Interagency Dispatch Center. He says there are reports of new wildfires in Okanogan, Douglas and Kittitas counties.
Duck says fire crews are en route.
Eastern Washington has been under a red-flag warning for extreme threat of wildfires, with dry fuels and thunderstorms forecast with lightning and erratic winds.
Duck says some areas—but not all—have reported rain from the storms, which will aid the firefighting efforts.
Meanwhile, the Colockum Tarps Fire between Wenatchee and Ellensburg is 30 percent contained. More than 830 firefighters are battling the blaze, which has burned across 125 square mile

COLUMBIA — The faculty, students and taxpayers of MU and the state of Missouri are owed an in-depth explanation of the reason for the secrets surrounding the hiring of the UM System president.
This explanation is owed to all of us by the governor, the curators and our local chancellor, as well as the faculty councils within the UM System. Each of these entities ought to be held accountable for the its participation or lack of participation in this process.
They all are accountable in some way for the lack of transparency surrounding the search process, including the search committee membership and the decisions surrounding transparency.
The search process should not model questionable behavior for students and taxpayers. The curators are endowed with the public's resources and trust. Their behaviors should be transparent.
The search committee's charge and the rationale for that charge ought to be explained. The steps taken to fulfill that charge ought to be explained.
The range and number of potential candidates ought to be shared. The narrowing process to achieve a list of finalists ought to be explained.
The weeding process that led to the selection of the president should be explained. The decision to choose a corporate administrator rather than an academic administrator should be explained.
If this decision was based upon successes achieved by the previous successes of a non-academic administrator, those successes ought to be made known in the spirit of intellectual candor.
Scrutiny of decision making is an inherent element that is prized at universities. That process is assumed to be instrumental to educating future leaders.
Secret behaviors lead to notions of deviousness, which should not be considered at the beginning of new president's tenure.
It is the responsibility of us all to remove this veil of questions by giving the appropriate explanations that will allow the conduct of the university's mission with as much integrity imbued in it as possible.
William E. "Gene" Robertson is a Columbia resident and a professor emeritus at MU.

Motor vs Rowing inflatable dinghy...
... not as a tender. Rather, for exploring, exercise, etc.
Okay, so I scored an RU 260 off craigslist. It came with dock wheels, which are amazingly useful. Also, a custom cover and tow rope. I jury rigged a rear view mirror (
bicycle mirror
), wind vane, and streamers (
so big boats can see me
). Here's a pic of the way I have it set up.
I've been rowing almost every day since I picked it up a week ago. I did not plan to get a motor, as I am using it to a) exercise and b) explore. The thing is, a couple of days ago, I got caught in a strong current, and this had me re-thinking the motor bit. I rowed about 5.7 miles that day. Though, most of it was leisurely rowing, the current really taxed me.
So... I've been investigating potential motor solutions.
Since I wash it down and store it on the dock every night, the motor would have to be reasonably light. This led me to researching an electric motor, as I would still only use it if I got caught in a bind. Thing is, the batteries weigh a ton. Over exaggeration, I know. But you hopefully get my point. The other thing is, that is additional weight I would be rowing around. Oh and. I am not interested in "
" the dink. That is, the motor would be for situations where I find myself in a bind, like the other day.
I've also considered the little Nissan 2.5 motors, or something similar. They have more power, but then, I'd have to deal with the gas. Again, weight becomes a factor. Esp lugging the thing on/off the dink. Yes, I could use a halyard, but the extra hassle makes taking it out less fun, iykwim.
I have considered just painting the bottom with anti-fouling paint for inflatables and just leaving it in the water over the summer, as I have plenty of room behind my boat in my slip. But I am not sure how to deal with covering it to protect against UV. My custom cover is designed for storing it on the hard.
Oh and, aside. Speaking of UV. I admittedly don't get it. If I'm out rowing all day, it's getting lots of UV rays. So, perhaps coating it with UV protectant might be a good idea?
My other concern is the fact that motors tend to get stolen. Yes, I could put a motor lock on it. But again, it increases the usage hassle. Plus, the motor could increase the possibility of the whole dink getting stolen. Of course, I have a lock for the dink, too. But again, extra hassle.
So, here's my Q. For those who have/use dinks for just puttering around, is a motor worth the effort/cost? If not, how do you deal with those rare binds? Any/all ideas, opinions, etc. welcomed.

Market Wrap: Moody's Warns of U.S. Downgrade; Facebook's Zuckerberg Emerges; Ford Preps Possible Mulally Successor
Tweet Send to a Friend
Market wrap-up for Seotember 11th
End of the Day: S&P 500 up 4.5 to 1,433.56; Dow Jones up 69.1 to 13,323.36; Nasdaq up 0.5 to 3,104.53
The following is a brief summary of events moving markets today:
End of the Day: S&P 500 up 4.5 to 1,433.56; Dow Jones up 69.1 to 13,323.36; Nasdaq up 0.5 to 3,104.53
The following is a brief summary of events moving markets today:
- Once again, Moody's is dangling a downgrade in front of the U.S., threatening to use it if debt issues don't start shaping up. And soon.
Moody's said the U.S. would lose its top-notch rating if Congress repeals spending cuts and tax increases without large-scale deficit-reduction measures.
Last week, government debt hit $16 trillion last week, shy of the $16.394 trillion limit set by Congress. In total, the U.S. has run a $1 trillion deficit for the last four years, setting the upcoming election -- which is less than two months away -- to be much more exciting.
- Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg issued the first interview since the Company went public on May 18th. Some comments from the interview include:
- Services aren't made to make money;
- Six months ago, Facebook was in a pretty bad place on mobile;
- He thinks Facebook will make a ton of money on mobile;
- He called recent stock performance disappointing;
- Sees making more money on mobile than on desktop;
- People at Facebook are used to controversy and the stock fluctuations aren't the first headwinds the company has faced;
- More people using mobile web Facebook than on Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) Android and Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iOS combined;
- The biggest mistake was betting on HTML5;
- Facebook is not building it own smartphone, due to it not being the right strategy;
- Facebook does a billion search queries per day;
- The goal is to integrate Facebook into many devices; and
- The Instagram deal came about as the founders were already using Facebook's platform and the two began working together to further develop integration. Eventually, Instagram founders began to get nervous about focusing on one sole company as a crutch and Zucks suggested the the two should become one. Bam, done deal.
- Services aren't made to make money;
- ♪"He's got Legg's, and he knows how to use them"♫...to walk out the front door: Legg Mason (NYSE: LM) CEO and Chairman Mark Fetting will retire on October 1st, according to a release out earlier.
Global distribution head Joe Sullivan will become Interim CEO at that time as the Board conducts the search for a new CEO. For interested parties:

- Let's finish this: Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and Citigroup (NYSE: C) reached agreement for Morgan Stanley to purchase Citi's 14 percent stake in Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (MSSB), together with the transfer of approximately $5.5 billion of deposits at no premium, at an implied 100 percent valuation of $13.5 billion.
Citi also issued an update later in the session, seeing a non-cash third-quarter 2012 GAAP charge of $2.9 billion. For more color, click here.
- Key executive changes could unlock more value: Ford (NYSE: F) is further solidifying succession plans. According to reports out late Tuesday, Americas president Mark Fields may become the automaker's Chief Operating Officer. The move would also line Fields up to succeed current CEO Alan Mulally when Mulally decides its time to retire.
Fields has been with Ford for 23 years and was integral in realigning Ford's North American ops, shifting the segment from a money-losing cause four years ago to one that is solidly profitable today.
No official announcement has been made by Ford.
- Don't be a tattletale...unless you can make a boatload from it: One former UBS banker -- who was an informant to the IRS in unearthing an offshore account scandal a few years ago -- was awarded $104 million today. If it makes you feel better, he's still in jail for conspiracy of fraud.
- Just like that, the Treasury cracks a smile. We think: The U.S. Treasury priced its 553.8 million offering of American Int'l Group (NYSE: AIG) shares at $32.50 each. AIG agreed to purchase approximately 153.8 million shares of AIG common stock in the offering at the initial public offering price for an aggregate purchase amount of approximately $5 billion. Proceeds from the sale were $20.7 billion with the U.S. now holding about 15.9 percent of AIG.
Later in the session, AIG CEO Bob Benmosche said the the insurer might reinstate a dividend next year.

Dave St. Peter, President, Minnesota Twins
Dave St. Peter, at just 43, has already seen a lifetime of highs and lows in his 21 years with the Twins. Having joined the club in 1990, the North Dakota native was present for the club's dramatic World Series win a year later, a euphoric feeling all but erased in 2001 during the club's dark days as a candidate for league contraction.
The fruits of a nearly 15-year fight for a new stadium are now on display right outside the window that forms the back wall of St. Peter's office. The majestic view of Target Field shows not only the ballpark's incorporation into the downtown Minneapolis landscape, but it also provides a glimpse of a playoff-contending team that has already boosted aggregate home attendance for the ninth time in 10 seasons.1. A miniature replica of the Twins' 1991 World Series trophy along with two local Emmy awards. 2. An oversized baseball card of Twins favorite Rod Carew. 3. A close-up of the World Series trophy. 4. Another card featuring Kirby Puckett.
5. A framed newspaper from the opening of Target Field. 6. A commemorative uniform patch on St. Peter's desk. 7. A shovel from the 2007 groundbreaking for Target Field. 8. An Andy Warhol-style painting of Kent Hrbek, another of St. Peter's favorite Twins.
A countdown clock that tracked the construction progress of Target Field. The clock reads zero now with the ballpark officially opening earlier this year. A baseball (left) signed by the youth team that St. Peter coaches in his spare time, one of his favorite items in the office; an early scale model of Target Field. St. Peter holds a copy of the Target Field coffee-table book (left); an I-35W patch remembering the 2007 bridge collapse that killed 13 people, which delayed the ballpark's groundbreaking.

Butler 73, Dayton 67
Butler must win four games in four days for a title in its first - and perhaps last - Atlantic 10 tournament.
Doesn't sound too crazy for the little school that made two straight NCAA championship games.
The fifth-seeded Bulldogs, who missed out on a bye in the deep A-10, pulled away late to beat Dayton 73-67 in the first round Thursday.
''Tournament tough - that's just kind of the word you have to use when you deal with those guys,'' Flyers coach Archie Miller said.
Butler (25-7, 11-5) rode its 3-point shooting - and 3-point defense - to advance to face fourth-seeded La Salle in Friday's quarterfinals. The Bulldogs were 10 for 24 from behind the arc, while the Flyers attempted just four 3-pointers.
Rotnei Clarke had 21 points and five assists to lead Butler, going 6 of 12 on 3-pointers. Fellow senior Andrew Smith had 18 points and six rebounds.
''They set great screens for me,'' Clarke said of his teammates. ''Especially when I'm off the ball and in transition, I got a couple of looks, and it's all from these guys. They look for me when I'm open. It's really an unselfish team.''
Josh Benson had 18 points to lead 12th-seeeded Dayton (17-14, 7-9).
The Flyers were up 43-39 with less than 14 minutes left before Butler hit 3-pointers on three straight possessions to take the lead for good.
''When they came out and they hit three 3-pointers, that kind of changed the rhythm of the game,'' Dayton senior guard Kevin Dillard said.
It was 55-50 with just over seven minutes left when Erik Fromm, who came in averaging 3.4 points, made the Bulldogs' next four baskets as Butler started to pull away.
Running the floor, the 6-foot-8 Fromm had a fast-break layup on a feed from Alex Barlow and a dunk on a pass from Roosevelt Jones. He made a 3-pointer sandwiched in between, and when Fromm scored inside with 4:26 to go, the Bulldogs led 64-54.
Those nine points were all Fromm scored in the game in 10 minutes.
''I thought the series of plays where Fromm was in the middle of them - the 3 he hit, a couple of effort play points that he had - kind of separated the game,'' coach Brad Stevens said.
Butler, the national runner-up in 2010 and '11, could be headed along with Dayton to join the breakaway Big East basketball schools.
The Bulldogs lost at La Salle 54-53 on Jan. 23 on a last-second shot in their only meeting of the season. Clarke missed that game with a severely sprained neck.
But the Explorers will have plenty to play for Friday as an NCAA bubble team. The Bulldogs have no such worries because of nonconference wins over top-ranked Gonzaga, No. 3 Indiana and No. 12 Marquette.
Their run to the Maui Invitational final in November - with games against Marquette, North Carolina and Illinois on consecutive days - is the perfect groundwork for this time of year.
''This is why you play in Maui. ... Everything you do in the nonconference, from a scheduling standpoint, is to prepare you for now,'' Stevens said.
The Bulldogs will need to be sharper than they were Thursday if they want to hang around at Brooklyn's Barclays Center any longer. The Flyers outscored Butler 48-28 in the paint.
Dillard scored inside and hit a 3-pointer to give the Flyers the four-point lead early in the second half. He finished with 15 points but had five turnovers.
''I think we weren't really playing hard enough,'' Smith said. ''We were taking plays off and we were letting them score too easily inside. Obviously you see they outscored us 48-28. You're not going to win a whole lot of games doing that. We were pretty fortunate. We ended up playing pretty hard, pretty well over the last 15 minutes, but definitely need to improve on the first 25.''

Quasi-Fiscal Policies of Independent Central Banks and InflationSeok Gil ParkIndiana University Bloomington - Department of Economics October 30, 2009 Abstract: Recently, central banks expanded their balance sheets by unconventional actions, including credit easing operations. Although such quasi-fiscal operations are signficant in size and assumed to be crucial for the economy's recovery, little theory is available to explain the possible macroeconomic consequences of these operations. The main contribution of this paper is to show that quasi-fiscal shocks may affect infltion in plausible cases by utilizing a simple DSGE model that embraces the budgetary independence of the central banks. In the active quasi-fiscal policy regime, the shocks in the central bank's earnings alter the private agent's portfolio between consumption and the nominal money balance, thus affecting inflation. Conventional macroeconomic models have implicitly assumed policy regimes in which the aforementioned mechanism does not restrict equilibria; however, this paper shows that such assumptions generally are not guaranteed to hold. The extensions of the basic model show that quasi-fiscal shocks may produce undesirable effects, such as inflation following deflationary monetary policy during the implementation of exit strategy.

text: Good seats at MSG are hard to come by, apparently even for Hall of Famers: "The next time Magic Johnson asks the Knicks for a seat along celebrity row, he first may want to ask Isiah Thomas for his forgiveness. The Daily News has learned that Johnson's request for comp tickets to a Knicks game last month was rejected due in part to his criticism of Thomas, the team's former president and head coach, who remains close to Garden chairman James Dolan. The Knicks would neither confirm nor deny that Johnson was told that they wouldn't provide him with a ticket to the team's Dec. 7 game against Portland. A person close to the team says that when the Knicks didn't respond to Johnson's request immediately, the Hall of Famer later called the club to let it know that he had made other plans. A league source, however, contends that the club was reluctant to give Johnson a ticket because the Knicks were upset with the former Laker and didn't want to create a media firestorm at the Garden in the wake of his controversial comments relating to Thomas."

Calif. Boy Locks Self In Gun Safe
SACRAMENTO, Calif. --
A boy locks himself inside a gun safe inside a Sacramento Costco on Sunday.
Authorities said an 11-year-old boy was playing around and climbed into a safe. The door closed, looking him inside.
Store employees had a tough time getting the door open and that was when firefighters were called to the scene.
"Our initial concern is that he was going to run out of air. So, our crews were ready to drill holes in the safe to give him some air," said Jim Doucette, with Sacramento City Fire Department.
Employees were able to get the safe to open. The boy was not hurt.
Costco said it will either remove the safes from the floor or secure the safes so kids can't do this in the future.
