JON CARDINELLI and RYAN VREDE analyse the key match-ups and pick the winners at the weekend.
It's finally here, the north-south derby everybody has been waiting for. Unfortunately for the Stormers, they will head into this clash without half of their first-choice team. Both JC and Vrede are expecting the Bully Boys to take full advantage, and record a comfortable victory. It could be a result that decides the South African conference.
Meanwhile, the Sharks should pick up a bonus-point victory in Johannesburg and the Cheetahs will bank four points thanks to a bye. The big call by the keo.co.za pundits is for the Hurricanes to tame the Waratahs in Sydney. The Waratahs have been terrible in 2012, and a young Hurricanes side should punish them for another misfiring performance.
CRUSADERS vs HIGHLANDERS, CHRISTCHURCH, FRIDAY 09:35
VREDE'S CALL: The Crusaders, in typical fashion, are getting stronger as their campaign progresses and the synergy they showed in their demolition of the Blues a fortnight ago was an ominous sign for future opponents. Dan Carter is steadily finding his groove, as is Richie McCaw, and both will be influential in Christchurch. The Highlanders will be boosted by the return of Nasi Manu, who has been a constant source of go-forward, but their approach, which rests heavily on keeping possession through multiple phases, lacks the variation to trouble the Saders. The hosts will pin them in their territory and pressure them into errors through accurate defence, from where Carter will kick penalties or they'll exploit broken field opportunities generated from turnovers. They won't be troubled at the set phases either, making for a comfortable win. Crusaders by 10
JC'S CALL: The win against the Blues was important to the Highlanders' play-off prospects, but the result of this fixture could put a dent in those hopes. The Crusaders have welcomed back Kieran Read and Richie McCaw has moved to his preferred position of No 7. As a collective, the Crusaders forwards will need to be at their combative best if they're going to outmuscle the rugged Highlanders, who pride themselves on their prowess at the collisions. The Crusaders midfield hasn't been the same since Sonny Bill Williams defected to the Chiefs, but on the back of a superior forward effort, they should be too strong for the Highlanders. Crusaders by 7
Crusaders – 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Adam Whitelock, 13 Robbie Fruean, 12 Ryan Crotty, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Kieran Read, 7 Richie McCaw (c), 6 George Whitelock, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Ben Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Wyatt Crockett.
Subs: 16 Quentin MacDonald, 17 Owen Franks, 18 Tom Donnelly, 19 Matt Todd, 20 Willi Heinz, 21 Tom Taylor, 22 Tom Marshall.
Highlanders – 15 Ben Smith, 14 Kurt Baker, 13 Tamati Ellison, 12 Phil Burleigh, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Chris Noakes, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Nasi Manu, 7 James Haskell, 6 Adam Thomson, 5 Josh Bekhuis, 4 Jarrad Hoeata, 3 Chris King, 2 Andrew Hore, 1 Jamie Mackintosh (c).
Subs: 16 Jason Rutledge, 17 Bronson Murray, 18 Nick Crosswell, 19 Tim Boys, 20 Jimmy Cowan, 21 Mike Delany, 22 Kade Poki.
REBELS vs BRUMBIES, MELBOURNE, FRIDAY 11:40
VREDE'S CALL: The Rebels sizzled for a fortnight before the Canes doused their fire last weekend and the Brumbies will give them a further reality check on Friday. Don't expect Jake White's side to be clinical given the number of changes they've made. But their attacking and defensive structures are excellent, certainly too good for the Rebels, and they'll win off the back of dominance in every facet of play. Brumbies by 10
JC'S CALL: The Rebels are back in Melbourne, but they head into this game without the game-breaking talents of Kurtley Beale. They have the potential to trouble opposition teams at the breakdowns and collisions, but I don't expect they will best the Brumbies in these facets, and without Beale or James O'Connor they don't have the individual brilliance to breach that Brumbies defence. Expect another 'South African' performance by the Brumbies as they break the Rebels down through a powerful forward showing, a strong kicking game and a determined defensive effort. Brumbies by 12
Rebels – 15 Julian Huxley, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Stirling Mortlock (c), 11 Cooper Vuna, 10 James Hilgendorf, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Hugh Perrett, 6 Luke Jones, 5 Hugh Pyle, 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Jono Owen, 2 Adam Freier, 1 Nic Henderson
Subs: 16 Ged Robinson, 17 Rodney Blake, 18 Al Campbell, 19 Tom Chamberlain, 20 Tim Davidson, 21 Richard Kingi, 22 Nic Stirzaker
Brumbies – 15 Robbie Coleman, 14 Jesse Mogg, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Zack Holmes, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Leon Power, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ruaidhri Murphy.
Subs: 16 Anthony Hegarty, 17 Scott Sio, 18 Fotu Auelua, 19 Colby Faingaa, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Henry Speight, 22 Tevita Kuridrani.
BLUES vs CHIEFS, AUCKLAND, SATURDAY 09:35
VREDE'S CALL: Even without a couple of key forwards, the Chiefs will still be too strong for the Blues in all the forward disciplines, achieving a convincing win through the dominance of their heavies. Their back division's potency needs no elaboration, and with the Blues unable to stifle their momentum at the gainline, and at best achieving parity at the set phases, Sonny Bill and co will thrive, cutting the Blues to pieces throughout the contest. Chiefs by 15
JC'S CALL: 'Lam brings back big guns' the headline exclaimed, but the form of these misfiring first-choice players has been a problem. The decision to back some untried combinations backfired in the last game, and picking a new team again this week will do nothing for the Blues' synergy. So what can we expect? The Chiefs got back to their winning ways with a victory against the Bulls, and will want to build on that. The first half will belong to the forwards and in the second 40 Dave Rennie may empty his dangerous bench in order to secure a bonus point. Chiefs by 13
Blues – 15 Rudi Wulf, 14 Lachie Munro, 13 Francis Saili, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Rene Ranger, 10 Michael Hobbs, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Luke Braid (c), 7 Daniel Braid, 6 Steven Luatua, 5 Ali Williams, 4 Liaki Moli, 3 Tevita Mailau, 2 James Parsons, 1 Tony Woodcock.
Subs: 16 Tom McCartney, 17 Angus Ta'avao, 18 Filo Paulo, 19 Peter Saili, 20 Piri Weepu, 21 Hadleigh Parkes, 22 David Raikuna.
Chiefs – 15 Andrew Horrell, 14 Maritino Nemani, 13 Jackson Willison, 12 Sonny Bill Williams, 11 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 8 Kane Thompson, 7 Sam Cane, 6 Liam Messam (c), 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Michael Fitzgerald, 3 Ben Afeaki, 2 Mahonri Schwalger, 1 Sona Taumalolo.
Subs: 16 Hika Elliot, 17 Ben Tameifuna, 18 Romana Graham, 19 Scott Waldrom, 20 Brendon Leonard, 21 Robbie Robinson, 22 Lelia Masaga
WARATAHS vs HURRICANES, SYDNEY, SATURDAY 11:40
VREDE'S CALL: The Canes will have to rein in their approach somewhat against the Tahs, who are certainly more competent on defence than the Rebels (the Canes' most recent opponents). Don't expect them to veer too far from their expansive strategy. They will have to establish a platform to play in that manner though, and they have the strike runners to do so. The Tahs looked toothless on their South African tour, and provided the Canes don't get too loose, or get sloppy on defence (as they are prone to do) the Sydney side shouldn't pose too many questions the Canes won't have a rebuttal for. Canes by 8
JC'S CALL: The Waratahs should have learned an important lesson from last week: You can't play an expansive game against a team that has a stronger attack than your own. They played into the Cheetahs' hands last week by employing this looser style, and then conspired to throw away a handy lead. Whether they have learned from this lesson or not will be evident on Saturday. I have my doubts. The selection of Sarel Pretorius gives their game plan away, as the South African's strengths are suited to a running game. Defence and an overly conservative game is not his forte. His passing game is also a weakness which means the Waratahs will lack a good link between forwards and backs. They may also be reluctant to kick too much given the Hurricanes' dangerous back three. Meanwhile, Pretorius and the Waratahs' loose forwards will have their hands full trying to contain TJ Perenara. Get ready for more Tahs torture. Hurricanes by 6
Waratahs – 15 Bernard Foley, 14 Tom Kingston, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Berrick Barnes, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Jono Jenkins, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson (c).

LIONS vs SHARKS, JOHANNESBURG, SATURDAY 17:05
VREDE'S CALL: My colleague Simon Borchardt wrote accurately last week that in losing to the Force the Lions not only hit rock bottom but actually started digging. Now with news that Jaco Taute has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign they may soon strike oil. I refuse to waste my time with elaborate analysis on this (mis) match. The Sharks will boss every facet of the game, their brutality at the tackle point on attack ensuring they get the bonus-point victory that keeps them in with an outside chance of the conference title, while their ascendancy at the collisions on defence will make for another miserable evening for Mitchell's mob. Sharks by 15
JC'S CALL: For the Sharks to pick up a bonus-point win, they simply need to stay motivated. They were dominant in last week's match against the Stormers and probably would have scored a fourth try if they hadn't dropped their intensity in the second stanza. The Lions will be outmatched and outgunned, but underestimating them in Joburg would be foolish. The Sharks need to ensure the game doesn't degenerate into a loose scrap, as this will allow the Lions to remain competitive. This must be the Lions' objective, to spoil and hassle in an attempt to unsettle what looks to be a much-improved Sharks unit. However, given this is the Sharks' last game for four weeks (they have a bye at the end of June when Super Rugby resumes) they should be going all out to secure maximum points. Sharks by 20
Lions – 15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Deon van Rensburg, 13 Lionel Mapoe, 12 Butch James, 11 Anthonie Volminck, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Tian Meyer, 8 Joshua Strauss (c), 7 Grant Hattingh, 6 Derick Minnie, 5 Franco van der Merwe, 4 Hendrik Roodt, 3 Pat Cilliers, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 CJ van der Linde.
Subs: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 JC Janse van Rensburg, 18 Etienne Oosthuizen, 19 Cobus Grobbelaar, 20 Ross Cronje, 21 Waylon Murray, 22 Ruan Combrinck.
Sharks – 15 Pat Lambie, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 JP Pietersen, 12 Meyer Bosman, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Freddie Michalak, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Keegan Daniel (c), 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 Anton Bresler, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Subs: 16 Craig Burden, 17 Wiehahn Herbst, 18 Jandre Marais, 19 Ryan Kankowski, 20 Jacques Botes, 21 Marius Joubert, 22 Louis Ludik.
BULLS vs STORMERS, PRETORIA, SATURDAY 19:10
VREDE'S CALL: I think an extensive injury list will be the undoing of the Stormers. Six frontline players are missing, the bulk of them Boks, and the Bulls' imposing record when they've returned from tour is an indicator that the men from Pretoria will rise to the challenge, I fear the Stormers' bid to win the conference will suffer another blow. If the Bulls manage to pin them in their own territory through good tactical kicking it will be a long evening for the Cape side. The Sharks excelled in this department last week and forced the Stormers into rushed kick returns and, later, cavalier attacks from deep. The Bulls won't be averse to punting the ball into touch either. They lead the tournament in lineout steals and with Andries Bekker out, the Stormers are extremely vulnerable in this area. I think the Bulls will circumvent the Stormers' primary strength – their punishing defence – by asking them to make the play and feeding off their errors. Expect the Bulls' tries to come from broken field, with Morné Steyn's boot a valuable source of points as well. I just don't think the Stormers will get into scoring positions often enough for them to challenge for what would be an upset victory. Bulls by 9
JC'S CALL: With their pack retreating and their back three peppered with high balls, it promises to be an uncomfortable evening for the Stormers. Every north-south derby is intensely physical, but with the Bulls having the edge at the collisions and in the kicking game, the Stormers may need to do a lot of damage control at the back. Gio Aplon showcased his try-scoring ability when he was moved to the wing last week, but the Stormers know that losing fullback Joe Pietersen was a massive blow. Pietersen has the kicking game to counter that of the Bulls as well as the positional play and aerial skills to cope with an aerial assault. Apart from Aplon, the Stormers' wingers will also be targeted, although Bryan Habana turned in a brave showing under the high ball last week. What amplifies the Bulls kicking game is their kick chase, as Bjorn Basson has become a specialist in winning the ball back for his team. These tactics will be employed after the Bulls outmuscle the Stormers at the set pieces and dominate the gainline battle. Peter Grant's goal-kicking boot won't be enough to spare Stormers' blushes on this occasion. Bulls by 10
Bulls – 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 CJ Stander, 6 Dewald Potgieter, 5 Juandre Kruger, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dean Greyling.

Stormers – 15 Gio Aplon, 14 Gerhard van den Heever, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (c), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Jebb Sinclair, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Deon Carstens.

Wikus van Heerden says the Bok second-stringers will be up to the challenge in France.
The B-team beat Samoa at the start of the season and held their own against the Wallabies and All Blacks in the latter stages of the Tri-Nations. However, they were awful against Connacht last month, in a match that formed part of the Boks' final World Cup preparations.
Jake White has indicated that he will play his first-choice XV against Samoa and England at the World Cup, before unleashing the second-stringers on Tonga and the USA. Van Heerden knows how important it is to maintain the momentum going into the quarter-finals.
"We don't really see ourselves as second-stringers," Van Heerden told keo.co.za. "We are part of the Bok squad and we have been chosen to do the job. All the preparation has been done and everybody is well aware of the roles they have to play at the World Cup."
While the Bok second-stringers were poor against Connacht, Van Heerden believes the experience the players gained could prove vital at the World Cup.
"It was a great opportunity to give the guys valuable game time in the build up to the World Cup. It also helped to get some of the new guys into the team system while also giving the coaches a view of the depth within the squad."
Van Heerden dismissed concerns over recent Bok performances without some of the more established players and emphasised the importance of the squad system.
"I think that it was a case of the new combinations not being settled. There aren't any real concerns about the players and their contributions.
"The reality is that you need all the guys in the squad to have experience of playing at this level especially going into a World Cup. You don't want a situation where the first choice player gets injured and then the next guy can't make the step up.â€

imo a good fragrance with excellent longevity and amazing projection. Andy thinks its rubbish I don't see that at all... There's a lot of split opinions on armani code homme sport. Just a question of taste imo. If you like fresh citrusy fragrances you might as well enjoy this one. It's nothing extraordinary but on the other hand I don't know any other fragrances with such a strong lemon/mint feel.
I had a friend call me and said this is fantastic.....I can't wait to sample this that's for sure!!!
um definitely not the worst release this year.lol....
Perhaps the second worst thing i've ever smelt after Kouros. Truely horrible stuff.

Actually not that bad. Par for the course as sports scents go.
Where is mint? :-X
it's very similar to davidoff champion, in case you didn't notice. In a side by side comparison however, code sport seems to last a bit longer (or the sprayer puts out more liquid with one spray)
Tried a sample today, it didnt impress me, I was expecting a fuller quite refined fresh minty smell. It's not a woefully unpleasant smell, but not for me. It reminds me of the smell of a generic diet lemonade, diet 7up/sprite that sort of thing, i'd give it a 4/10.

of course basenotes is going to hate. Armani Code is a frag basenoters dont like to begin with, add the evil demon word: sport *shivers up and down spine as i say it*, you are in for a rude awakening.
but for what its worth i havent tried it lol...
Just went to 2 Macy's in my area and neither have heard of Code Sport yet.
I haven't gotten to try Code Sport yet, but based on the description (mint, soda like), I can almost guarantee that I'll like it better than original Code, which is kinda bland and boring to me.
Mint, soda like? Hmmm.... Not to me. Sure, there's a dab of mint there, and there's an even smaller dab of vetiver in there, but everything that COULD have been good about this is, in my humble opinion completely ruined by the loud, obnoxious, bull in a china shop-like dollop of ginger. Now, I like ginger in fragrances. I like ginger a lot! But this has so much in your face ginger that it actually made my eyes water. Actually literally made my eyes water. I've never had such a strong negative reaction to a fragrance. Not even Kouros! (and I HATE that stuff!)
I will NOT be inflicting this abomination on those around me.
I sampled this and liked it.....I'll get this for sure.....After reading the negative remarks I thought this was really going to be a disaster.....I'm glad I sampled for myself!!!
still not decided whether this was a good buy or not
i do like the smell but it is a bit too light for my tastes. i put some bleu de chanel on about 3 hours ago and code sport about half hour ago and id say the projection is a bout the the same now with both
im not usually one for sport scents and this is the reason why
but i still really do like the mint in this scent

Sniffed this today. Completely mystified why they named this Code Sport. Has absolutely no similarity whatsoever to the original Code. Even Code Summer has some similarities to the original but this one, nothing.
My respect bar for Armani has gone WAY down releasing a crappy fragrance and trying to ride the back of one it's most popular. This release should have had a brand new name like they did with Diamonds. Pathetic ...
Can I ask why some think it is rubbish? I have not tried it yet is it the lemon lime notes?
I'm in the "LOVE IT" camp. Yea there are similar fragrances out there, and it doesn't bear much resemblance to the original, but I have been reaching for this one frequently lately. It just smells good.
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
I am not happy with that scent at all. Wonder how many other version of Code they will make.
at first Mont Blanc Legend became a copy of Champion, not this one. tendency?
Watch my recent video review of
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-PW_V1G0aw
Armani Code and Armani Code Sport are not alike..... And Polo Sport is nothing like Polo..... Polo Sport is one of the better if not the best sport fragrance..... Armani Code Sport is a bit lite but still lasts on my skin for a while!!! I will have a bottle!!!
Jacques Cavallier hasn't done such a terrible job with Code Sport... whilst it's nothing inventive, it's mercifully far removed from the original Code. This scent contains a whopping 5% 'ambergris' (Ambrox) and it's quite evident here. I would liken it perhaps to Bvlgari Aqva in style. I think those whom have written it off completely might have lost a grip on what will appeal to your average Joe... essentially he's their target demographic. Not hardcore 'fume heads like many of us.
Brief well fulfilled.
After reading a few threads of this I almost passed up even sniffing this. 20 minutes after sniffing I picked one up at full retail. Love it, amazes me how many hate this as it seems very unique to me. Cheers!
Perfume is like cocktails without the hangover, like chocolate without the calories, like an affair without tears, like a vacation from which you never have to come back.
The hate on Armani Code Sport just makes me more curious to try it even more. Such a sucker for going against the "turned-up-noses-at-mainstream-designer-releases-I'm-sticking-to-my-Amouages etc-wave" here. Love BN that way haha
I was given a 75ml bottle a few days ago by a former L'Oreal colleague, and feel it a reasonably well-rounded fragrance.
Its not going to take the world by storm, but Ive certainly smelled worse. A lot worse.
I maintain it's Armani's answer to Bvlgari Aqva / Aqva Marine.
I quite enjoy it - i think it was actually really well done. Definitely not something for the individuals who have locked them self into the niche and vintage box though. hehe, love being a bitch sometimes lol

The original armani code stay only 2 hour on the skin! (Terrible longevity on my skin)
so sport release which means watered down version of the original will disappear after a few minutes! Not for me!
Hypocrites will always be a thorn in my back....and my middle finger will always be the best remedy.....
Don't like it much personally. If you enjoy Allure Homme Sport or the top notes of Dior Sport, before the goodness comes in, perhaps you might like it, as, as far as I remember, they smell fairly similar. I'd put ACS at the bottom though.

Jparsec is now ported to Ruby, with a way lighter syntax than Java.
Calculator demo
The following is the ruby version of calculator:
As simple as that!
S-expression demo
The above example utilizes the pre-built Expressions class to help building expression parser. Another example is for a simpler s-expression parser (in lisp syntax, "- (+ 1 (* 2 2)) (1)" sort of thing). As s-expression is way simpler to parse expression with infix operators, we will build the parser without using Expressions class:
The code is pretty self-explanatory. The only thing to note is that we had to manually skip whitespaces using the "ignore" function. (Whitespace skipping can be more elegant if we do a 2-phase parsing, where lexer takes care of them before grammar rule kicks in. Such use is demonstrated in detail in the test code.)
More examples
Take a look at the SQL Parser for a more sophisticated parser, where more traditional lex/parse approach is used.
rparsec can be downloaded at http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=2326
Rdoc is available online.

Advocacy, Cross-dressers, Drag Queens, False Witness, Gender Roles, Information, Transgender, Transsexuals
There is a lot of discussion over this post at Rebecca Juro's Facebook so I went to elaborate further my thoughts on the transgender people vs drag culture as I responded to all the comments given there with a post, which I believe states my position quite clearly…
Thank you for giving yourselves a change to discuss about this. Perhaps to make my thoughts clearer to you, I will try to respond to all the points made here.
– Drag culture is not gender identity. There is nothing to be imposed upon art performances. No gender requirements are needed to drag, because even transgender women, even women, even babies, can drag.
– Agreed, that transgender women do not have rights the way drag queens do. We must make the separation, because whether we like it or not, privilege counts. There is a huge difference of privilege when a drag queen goes to a ladies bathroom as a joke for one time, and trans women going when needed to, for life.
– Again, this not about shaming drag queens. This is about opening our eyes to drag culture. We have grown so inured to it that some even say "drag was how they felt most comfortable coming out" when she meant cross-dressing, not drag. Drag is acting, an expression, a performance. Not gender dysphoria.
– We are not against people here, rather a performance culture that is holding the trans population back from gaining their rights. Are we really so shallow to think that society would understand us more if we "sensitize" us by having someone express dressings and makeup to the extremes as our visible element?
– Most of the country would not know the difference until we start talking about the difference. Many times we blame the majority public for being ignorant about us. But we have to counter-voice that.
– I have mentioned this regardless of the RuPaul incident. Not after. I just felt the time is appropriate for people to see that the drag is just a drag, and the true person is still the individual with an intention to drag to pursue what he or she thinks is the perfect caricature of women to express in the general public.
– Women were not mentioned in this because for the sake of the argument, it has always been who represents transgender women. The most "cartoonish looking image" in the picture happens to be She-Lah, Malaysia's most prominent and visible drag queen, claims to represent transgender women, yet as Edwin Sumun full-time (pun intended) is earning his bucks as an established VO Talent, actor, director, with all his male-privilege, with none of the classic bias, prejudice and discrimination faced by us all. And it is not helping, that he turns transgender experiences into comedy, which the media picks up as fun.
– I am not self-loathing. I have come many years to be able to admit this conclusion. Because we needed the numbers, we needed the access to male privileges gay drag queens have, we needed them, until the point that when you Google the any media in Asia, that caricature of transgender women, became the very item they love to report about besides sex workers. But we can empathize with sex workers, but it is another trouble when we are reduced as merely men in dresses with thick make up and big hair.
– Again, we look internally, wanting acceptance from places that offer drag culture, wanting to be part of the gay community that cross-dresses in public. Wanting to belong. But our lives are just not limited to a gay clubs, likewise our lives are judged every time we walk out as who we are to the general public. And some straight people are limited to watching gay men parade in costumes in gay pride as an explanation to who we are. We are not all minorities fighting for basic human right, because drag, again, is an art performance, not humans. Every living being can drag, men, women, black, white, yellow, gay, straight, dogs, cats, and even snakes. But not every living being is born transgender. Herein, lies the difference, one that we need to make the distinction especially to the public.
– How are the majority drag queens, who have male privilege and daytime careers, be oppressed?
– The fact that I am seen and "very homophobic" and "anti-LGB bigot" by some already proves what I am saying. The T as always been ignored because homosexuals and LGBs have privileges transgender women do not have, and when that is pointed out, hence, that person is a bigot. Drag queens who are gays will have their two hour of attention before they go on with their natural lives. They have the "right" to cross-dress because to the public, it is a show. But do the public know, we are not a show? Drag queens do trivialize our lives and experiences.
– Again, drag = gender? It is not. Drag is acting. A performance. Even my coin-box can drag. So can my Tupperware. It has nothing to do with gender expressions. Who we are in our gender is not defined by clothes and accessories, let alone how we do our hair? It is our feel, senses, pheromones, experiences, touch, how we see the world; that is our gender. Our womanhood or manhood. Please get it already.
– Yet another comment about the "gay club", a place to belong, a "safe place". Please, can we look outside the gay club already, and stop internalizing ourselves to the point only drag queens represent us in the media? The world is bigger than that, and all of us have the responsibility to improve our lives as we are the real representatives to the public as transgender women; to be part of society. There is a monumental problem when we attempt to intersect an art performance that is usually used for gay men as their emotional outlet and the straight public as to the example of transgender women, with the every single day experiences which has little to nothing to do with drag, but their own character.
– Gay males and drag performances are actually separate issues. Not all gay males will drag. In fact, not anyone will drag. And precisely, anyone's dressings are not representative of any group, because it is just dressing! And again, drag is just acting, one that caricaturizes women, or in our terms, trans women. It is indeed similar to blackface, as I replied to a friend's comment: "Tell a black person that black face is a front of their own internalized racism the way you implied here for trans women. And they will tell you that it is nothing to do with that, but the intention to caricaturize and made into comedy people's real experiences, and what the public circle demands for entertainment with that form of performances."
– No one has to speak for me. But I urge transgender individual to start breaking free for the structures that are mostly created by gay men who are drag queens, or presume a socially constructed female identity, that locks us up into what we think transgender women are and where we belong. It is time we separate the drag from the human being. This is not about people vs people. It is about people vs a too commonly accepted part of transgender/gay culture that should be separated due to different needs and wants, but the same consequence in public, but we bear the greater risks.
– Do not let it be intersected forever. Break free. Make great friends to straights. Be nice to your co-workers. Help your family. Assist those who are truly weak. Be a good person. Shine as a cool person. That should be the measure of our character and personality. We must never, ever, let clothes define us, let alone dressings with the intent to shock and entertain, because at the end of the day when that is removed, it is only us, and the world.

MARC is an acronym, used in the field of library science, that stands for MAchine-Readable Cataloging. The MARC standards consist of the MARC formats, which are standards for the representation and communication of bibliographic and related information in machine-readable form, and related documentation. It defines a bibliographic data format that was developed by Henriette Avram at the Library of Congress beginning in the 1960s. It provides the protocol by which computers exchange, use, and interpret bibliographic information. Its data elements make up the foundation of most library catalogs used today. The record structure of MARC is an implementation of ISO 2709, also known as ANSI/NISO Z39.2. MARC records are composed of three elements: the record structure, the content designation, and the data content of the record. The record structure implements national and international standards (e.g., Z39.2, ISO2709). The content designation is "the codes and conventions established to identify explicitly and characterize ... data elements within a record" and support their manipulation. The content of data elements in MARC records is defined by standards outside the formats such as AACR2, L.C. Subject Headings, and MeSH. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: MARC standards)

The icing on the cake
The oval seals are what really finish off the whole invitation. They look awesome. Thank you so much for being so easy to work with!!
Prefect Balance
I really wanted something floral for our wedding stationary. I also wanted our save the date to match our invitation and not have a photo. This design was the prefect mix of floral for me and still modern and not to girly for my fiancé. The color options and design looked great and the printing was true to the proof. I'm very happy with the finished product.
Beautiful Save the Dates!
They arrived earlier than quoted, which was very nice! The quality was great, I was actually nervous when we decided to buy them, because you never know what you might get when ordering products off of the internet. The packaging was great and well set up from a marketing approach. I would recommend any savvy shopper to purchase the products from Magnet Street!

Decided to go on a training ride Saturday morning and was able to meet up with a fellow triathlete. It was a 'brisk' morning at about 37° at 9:00am. We left from her house about 9:15am and set out for the Mt. Grenta area. It was pretty cold until we got warmed up and out the race course route. The course route itself is pretty well layed out except for creek road which had alot of pot holes and was very dirty. I could see alot of flats happening there on race day! The two climbs on the course a good climbs. The first climb being Pinch road is a good grade for about 3/8 of a mile and will get the blood flowing in the legs after the swim portion.
Other than missing one turn on the course, it was a great ride and had a good time once the sun came out to warm things up a bit. We ended up back at the house around 11:45 and took a few minutes to get the toes warmed up!
It was a great ride with a great ride partner. Thanks T.M.!
Here were the specifics off my computer:
Average Temp: 37deg. Average Speed: 13.2mph Max Speed: 45mph Total Acent: 1600ft Ride Time: 2:33:15 Ride Distance: 31.4miles

Where were you born? How long have you lived in the Snohomish County area? What do you like most about it? I was born Jersey City, N.J. My family moved here when I was very young — Everett still had cobblestone streets and the Interurban ran down the center of Colby to south Everett. No matter where we have visited, there is nothing like coming home to the beauty of our area. I love living here.
How long have you worked in Real Estate?
I have been in real estate for 24 years and still love what I do.
What did you do before that? Clothing sales, hotel/restaurant business. I helped open the (then) Holiday Inn on 128th Street in 1969. I was there for eight years and then decided to stay home to raise my three teenage girls for awhile.
What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? Putting buyers and sellers together and working well with fellow agents to help them reach their desired goals.
What is the most challenging aspect of what you do? Trying to keep things moving as smoothly as possible. Buying or selling a home, as we all know, can create a lot of anxiety and stress. I try to avoid as much of that for my clients
as possible.
What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a home? In this market; be prepared! See a lender so you know your limits, then choose an agent you're comfortable with and the home that makes you feel good when you walk in the door.
What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a home? For most of us, the biggest asset we have is our home so, shine it up! Start looking at it as if you're the buyer. Go out in front and look at your curb appeal. What would make you want to say "can't wait to see the inside"? If you've been putting off repairs get them done. Listen to your agent's advice, that's what you hire us for.
Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent? I think it's because I really listen to what they want — I really care about their goals. My phone is never off. They will always find me available for their needs or concerns.
What do you most enjoy doing when you're not working? Naturally being with my family, having coffee in the mornings with my girls and watching my grandson play ball — he's now in the minor leagues. He made regional Northern Division MVP and Pacific Division 1st Team All American infielder, while playing for ECC Trojans, who won the NWAACC Championship this year. How exciting — sooo proud!

The wine barrel cart is a hit with visitors to the Whidbey Island Winery in Langley. Visitors can climb in for a photo but not take it for a spin. It has almost no brakes. It was originally made with one barrel for Langley's Soup Box Derby, a wacky take on the Soap Box Derby.

Wineries in the Wenatchee Valley are celebrating with two Red Wine and Chocolate weekends book-ending Valentine's Day.
It goes together like love and marriage.
Or lust and dating.
So why not grab your sweetie and go on a deliciously romantic wine tour?
Wineries around the state are offering special tours that pair wine and chocolate the weekends before and after Valentine's Day, which falls on a Thursday.
You can stick close to home or have an overnighter.
About a dozen Clark County wineries near the Oregon border will open their doors for a tour weekend, Feb. 16 and 17.
The region is fertile ground for grapes.
"We're kind of in the golden age of emerging wine regions," said Michele Bloomquist, co-owner of Heisen House Vineyards in Battleground. "It's a winemaker's paradise."
The area is still kind of "a best kept secret," she said. And that means attention from the winemaker.
"At almost every place, the owner and winemaker will be behind the bar, serving wine. You can ask questions about the wine," she said.
Bloomquist opened her winery in 2010.
"When I purchased the property it wasn't with the intention to have a winery," she said. "The apple trees were loaded with fruit so I made some hard apple cider. And I was hooked. Next year I made cider and wine and started helping out at wineries. They were encouraging me. They said, 'You should have a winery too.'"
So, she did. The winery sold 700 cases last year.
"It's a small mom-and-pop. We do everything from sweeping the floors to making the wine," she said.

The Department of Technology is unique in the area of technical education. Our goal is to develop applied engineering and technical management skills in our students so that they excel in industry after graduation. This is accomplished with a mix of fundamental applied engineering knowledge, understanding of the applications and the tools needed in today's industry, and an understanding of basic and advanced theory.
As the name technology implies, our students learn the latest industry applications and equipment. Technology involves the application of science, mathematics, computers, and management skills to the solution of real world problems.
The first and foremost departmental mission is providing a quality hands-on and theoretical education to our students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The department prepares our students so they can not only obtain employment after graduation, but the can excel at the job from day one. The department offers undergraduate education in industrial management and technology, manufacturing engineering technology, and electrical engineering technology, and a graduate program in industrial management.
The departmental faculty is involved in continual programmatic assessment and improvement which allows us to educate the next generation of industrial technologists and engineering technologists who excel in the work environment. Within the departmental undergraduate programs, we offer a very broad range of courses which provide both a sound introduction and in-depth analysis in given topics. Each program places emphasis upon theoretical/application instruction and laboratory instruction, skills that are demanded by industry.
The departmental faculty has taken the lead in developing a new Homeland Security Certificate, which develops knowledge needed to obtain employment in this ever changing and expanding security area. Our departmental Master's of Industrial Management program includes course work in the fields of industrial management, occupational safety, and manufacturing.
Working with industry is another area that is at the forefront of the departmental mission. The NIU Department of Technology prides itself on industrial interaction. Many of the departmental senior projects are conducted with industrial involvement. In addition, students and faculty are involved with projects sponsored through industry and government. As is the case in the technology disciplines, our relationship with industry is the basis behind the concepts that are taught in our curriculums. In addition, technology students are involved with interdisciplinary external projects, from the design of the Basic-Utility-Vehicle to a hovering platform for a science museum. It is this involvement with the faculty and other students which sets our program apart!
To offer engaged learning programs in technology that promote strong partnerships with industry and foster a synergetic, interactive relationship between faculty and students. The Northern Illinois University Department of Technology is committed to provide our students with industry focused technical education emphasizing theoretical and applications oriented knowledge for problem solving. The departmental faculty will strive to provide technical programs that promote student excellence in today's competitive industrial settings. Technology graduates will have the needed technical skills that allow them to make an impact in industry from day one.
The Northern Illinois University Department of Technology is committed to technical education; specifically, programs which incorporate continuous improvement, student-centered engagement, and applied research that prepares our students to analyze, develop, and implement innovative and sustainable solutions for our contemporary society.

Hi there
I'm quite new to Buddhism and as I find out more, I find that there are so many different schools of Buddhism... if only things were simple (for my simple mind)
Can anyone tell me what their views are on Vajrayana and Mahayana Buddhism as I am interested to see what peoples thoughts are. The only monastary near me is a theravada practice, which is lovely too
I have read a book called an Introduction to Tantra: The Transformation of Desire by Lama Yeshe and from what I can gather I need a good teacher (not possible in the area where I live) and I'll struggle in the UK!
From what I can gather, I transform each experience into the spiritual path?
Love to know everyones view on this.

Google invades Siri's turf with iPhone, iPad app
SAN FRANCISCO Siri may be feeling a little job insecurity. The sometimes droll assistant that answers questions and helps people manage their lives on Apple's iPhone and iPad is facing competition from an up-and-coming rival made by Google.
The duel began Monday with the release of a free iPhone and iPad app that features Google Now, a technology that performs many of the same functions as Siri.
It's the first time that Google Now has been available on smartphones and tablet computers that aren't running on the latest version of Google's Android software. The technology, which debuted nine months ago, is being included in an upgrade to Google's search application for iOS, the Apple Inc. software that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It's up to each user to decide whether to activate Google Now within the redesigned Google Search app, which is available through Apple's app store.
Siri tried to dismiss the competitive threat. When asked for an opinion about Google Now, Siri responded: "If it's all the same to you, I'd rather Google later."
Mike Allton, a St. Charles, Mo., resident who has owned an iPhone for four years, could hardly wait to check out Google Now, even if Siri might interpret it as a betrayal.
Siri "is looking a little green with envy," Allton, 36, said with a laugh after he installed Google's new app. "I love Apple products, but I like to see the competition because it probably will lead to even more improvements. I believe this technology is going to be even more deeply ingrained in our lives a few years from now."
Other iPhone users - even those who have grown fond of Siri - welcomed Google Now's arrival to iOS in mostly enthusiastic and sometimes amusing remarks posted on Twitter and Google Plus. One person joked that Google Now is so helpful that the technology prompted him to wash his hands after using the bathroom. The biggest gripe was about the possibility of Google Now's location-tracking features draining a device's battery more quickly.
Google Now's invasion of Siri's turf marks Google Inc.'s latest attempt to lure iPhone and iPad users away from a service that Apple built into its own devices.
Google quickly won over millions of iPhone users in December when it released a mapping application to replace the navigation system that Apple dumped when it redesigned iOS last fall. Apple's maps application proved to be inferior to Google's ousted service. The app's bugs and glitches made Apple the butt of jokes and fueled demand for Google to develop a new option.
Apple has been losing to Google on other fronts in a rapidly growing mobile computing market, an arena that was revolutionized with the iPhone's release in 2007. Smartphones and tablet computers running Google's free Android software have been steadily expanding their market share in recent years, partly because they tend to be less expensive than the iPhone and iPad. In 2012, Android devices held about 69 percent of the smartphone market while iOS had about 19 percent, according to the research firm IDC.

This page describes how to integrate Sonar into a build script for Apache Ant.
You must have previously installed the Ant Task and read Analyzing Code Source.
Analyzing a Project
Define a new sonar Ant target in your Ant build script:
Declaring a XML namespace for Ant tasks is optional but always recommended if you mix tasks from different libraries.Additional parameters can be set within <property> nodes of the sonar Ant task.
Execute the following command from the project base directory:
It's recommended to build the project before, usually to get bytecode and unit test reports.
Since version 1.2 you can specify sonar.libraries using path-like structure as following:
Analyzing a Multi-module Project
Let's say that we have a project "Parent" containing two modules "Child1" and "Child2" and we want Sonar to be able to analyze the overall Parent multi-module project:
The first thing to do is to declare all the modules in the build.xml file of the Parent with the sonar.modules property:
Then, in each build.xml file of module, the project key and source directories properties must be defined:
Of course additional but optional Sonar properties can also be defined in each module to provide for instance the binary directories, the list of libraries, etc.
You can ask the Sonar task to execute an Ant target on the parent and for each module before collecting those property values. In that case, a new attribute initTarget must be added to the Sonar task definition in the build.xml file of the Parent:
Here is the source code of a sample Ant muli-module project.
Using Jacoco with Ant projects
Some additional configuration is required with Ant projects.
The Ant build.xml file must contain a dedicated target to launch either junit or testng unit tests. Let's take the following example with the target "test":
Then, in this example, the value of the parameter "sonar.jacoco.antTargets" must be set to "test". During Sonar analysis, the Sonar Jacoco plugin will take care to attach the Jacoco agent to the JVM and to launch the unit tests.
Here is the source code of a sample Ant+Jacoco project
Known Limitations
- Main sources and unit test sources can not be mixed in the same directory.

Specific examples of Mini Display at its Worst?
I have played around with the mini 3 different times at Best Buy. I still could not see how people are calling the display "bad." I did notice the "calendar" app's text was very small--hard to read but not fuzzy. I looked at cnn.com, espn.com, nba.com, and the text looked great (even after zooming in)!
I don't think yahoo.com would let me zoom in though. Other than that and the calendar, I couldn't see fuzzy text, so I'm asking you all who said the display is bad: when are you finding the text fuzzy or bad(specific apps/websites)? I am asking because I am very close to purchasing one. I have read a few threads here, but I do not recall specific examples. I would like to go back to Best Buy and see your examples in person to judge for myself.
Thanks in advance.
|Dec 5, 2012, 10:19 AM
Does the BestBuy have any iPad 3/4 near the mini that you can compare? Because unless you compare it to a retina display, the mini screen is going to look just fine.
For me, the difference is most noticeable when I play games like Bejweled. The colors look much brighter and clearer on 3/4. Also, text is clearer on any app -- just open up the same webpage on mini and a retina iPad, and if you don't notice a diff, well then, you are one of those people who'll be happy with a mini.
|Dec 5, 2012, 10:23 AM
Yes there was a 3/4 next to it. There were other people next to me though, so I couldn't really (or didn't want to) jump back and forth. Thank you for the helpful reply! More like this is appreciated!
I have an iphone 5, but I don't use it heavily like a lot of you. So far with the little I have seen, I am impressed with the mini's display even though I use a retina screen daily on the iphone.
|Dec 5, 2012, 10:35 AM
|Dec 5, 2012, 10:36 AM
Text is where it is most noticeable - any text anywhere, on a website, in iBooks, in Mail, anywhere and everywhere. If you're fine with it, go ahead and purchase, don't torture yourself with it (at least until the retina model comes out!)
Now that I'm used to retina displays on my iPad 3 and iPhone 5, the iPad mini looks horribly pixelated to me. A few years ago I would have said it was an excellent screen, but excellent is no longer good enough for me.
Some people say they can't tell the difference, that's either because they're trying to convince themselves, or because their eyesight is poor - in which case it is a retina display for them!
|Dec 5, 2012, 10:40 AM
It's not bad but. compared with the 4 it's inferior however you pays your money and takes your choices.
|Dec 5, 2012, 10:40 AM
They way these Minis are selling, I think plenty of people do not mind the pixelated screen. I have it and it does not bother me, but if I needed a better screen/specs I would have an ipad 4 near me instead of the mini.

I know I'm swaying away from the topic, but I also can't make up my mind on whether to buy it online (tax/shipping free) or go to Best Buy and use a $50 gift card. I worry about getting a defective one online though and having to deal with the hassle of returning it if it's defective. Much easier just to go to a Best Buy to return if I'm not satisfied or it's defective.
More input on the negative examples of the display please.

A couple of years ago I had laser treatment, now I can see without glasses, and I see jagged pixels everywhere I look. Maybe I should go outside more, I hear the graphics are amazing...
|Dec 5, 2012, 11:23 AM
I have had the first-gen iPad, iPad 2, and iPad 3.....and all of the iPhones except iPhone 4S, so I've had experience with devices without and with the retina screen. Yesterday I bought an iPad Mini and brought her home to the household of two devices with retina screens and 1 device (iPad 2) without. I think a lot of people are making a big deal of something rather unimportant. Do I love the retina screens on my iPhone 5 and iPad 3? Sure, I do, they are gorgeous. However, the iPad Mini screen is NOT THAT BAD. If, when lying in bed, I bring the screen very close to my face I can see the pixels and such a whole lot more than I would if I did the same with my devices with a retina screen, but that does not mean I cannot enjoy using the iPad Mini. I spent some time last night reading in bed (a whole lot more comfortable than using the heavier full-sized iPad!) and then today some time playing with it in a couple of games, checking forums, reading the Washington Post.....and guess what, my eyes aren't bleeding or falling out of my head because I used something which was not a retina screen!
My primary purpose in purchasing and using the iPad Mini is to take it with me when I am leaving the house. It will be a lot lighter to carry and the smaller size means I won't always need large bags or purses, I can use something more the size of a normal purse. When out-and-about I often pause to check my emails or my forums, especially if out for a sustained period of time. The iPad Mini will do just fine for that purpose. If I were going out somewhere and knew I'd be showing off my photos, well, sure, that's when I'd tote the iPad 3, since the retina screen does really nice things for my images.
Apple clearly had a specific plan in mind and a target audience in mind when designing this latest iPad, and I think they wanted to make it affordable and also as useable as possible for a lot of people old and young. I am very happy they have brought out the device now rather than waiting another year or two or however long it would take to create the device with a retina screen. Rather than spending a lot of time trying to compare the iPad Mini without a retina screen to other devices with it, why not simply appreciate the device for what it DOES have and what it DOES do? I think it is already making a lot of people very, very happy and even more will be after December 25th......

^Thanks for your reply-very informative. Would be interesting to see other phones on the mini (other than the ones that are from the factory that you know are going to look great).
In what ways could Best Buy have improved the screen in store? Some have said on here it's not as good when you get the device home. Not sure I'm on the fence with that claim though.

|Dec 5, 2012, 11:28 AM
The Mini's display is fine, it's just not great.

That said, it also depends on how long you are going to be reading on the thing. If you are planning to read War & Peace, I'd say go with the retina screen, but if you are just going to use it 1-2 hours a day, the mini screen should be fine.

Eye strain
FWIW I decided to return my Mini on a Sunday morning while reading the NYT app. My eyes felt like I had stayed up all the night...and I hadn't. It was that moment that I decided to return the Mini and wait for retina. That morning I switched back to the iPad 3 and it was like drinking from a cool mountain stream with my eyes. Now that I think about it, I spend all day staring at a not-very-high-resolution monitor and have never experienced eye strain the way I did with Mini.
|Dec 5, 2012, 11:53 AM
That's why I'm leaning more towards buying it a local retail shop rather than online in case I need to return it. More of a hassle shipping something back.
|Dec 5, 2012, 12:07 PM
|Dec 5, 2012, 12:11 PM
|Dec 5, 2012, 12:14 PM
I agree that the screen is not that bad. I can see how the retina is better, but unless you are comparing the two... It is not bad at all. Just my two cents though... It doesn't bother me.
I typically use it to browse in landscape mode because it can be a little fuzzy in portrait at times.
|Dec 5, 2012, 12:19 PM
Thanks for the screencap. I need to look at macrumors on it as well. Can't believe I forgot that!

When I first picked up the iPad mini I couldn't read the text at all and found pictures simply hard to see.
However once I had switched it on the screen displayed very commendable clarity and I found the viewing angles excellent.
Very possibly those who criticize the device are unaware of this handy hint.

Is it just me or has there been no condemnation of the latest terrorist attack on innocent women and children by Islamic leaders? I mean, it could be just me.
If a so-called Christain did something like that, within the hour you would have Falwell, Graham, Swaggart, Pat Robertson, James Robinson, Cardinals, the Pope, etc,. all vehemently derriding the attack with righteous indignation.
Not trying to stir up trouble or condeming anyone, actually I have it is a small few who perpatrate this outrageous slimy underhanded barbaric cruel violence. But I haven't recalled any headlines with outrage or condemantion for CAIR or other Islamic leaders. Actually, on Tucker Carlson last night he had a piece where it was said that many mosques in the middle east would actually welcome the barbaric murder of innocent people, women and children included.
So I am just throwing it out there.

OXFORD, Ohio - Known for the long blonde hair that flowed from the back of his helmet, Miami University quarterback ZAC DYSERT (Ada, Ohio) has cut his golden mane and donated it to Locks of Love.
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. Its mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.
"I felt like it would be a good way to give back to disadvantaged kids," said Dysert.
Stylist Bobbie Jo Dykes at Oxford's Luna Blu cut off approximately 10 inches of Dysert's hair.
Several RedHawk athletes have provided hair to Locks of Love, including ice hockey All-American Ryan Jones a few years ago.
Dysert ended his career on Nov. 23 as Miami's all-time leading passer with 12,013 total yards. That ranks No. 2 among all-time Mid-American Conference quarterbacks and 20th on the career NCAA list.
