Is Kate having a daughter? Time will tell
Wednesday - 3/6/2013, 6:30am EST
LONDON (AP) -- It's a royal secret, but the Duchess of Cambridge may have inadvertently dropped a hint about the gender of the baby she and Prince William are expecting.
When a wellwisher gave the former Kate Middleton a teddy bear during a rare public appearance Tuesday, one woman in the crowd said she heard Kate respond: "Thank you, I will take that for my d..." before she broke off her comments.
That reported exchange was enough for Britain's tabloids to trumpet "It's a girl" in Wednesday's papers.
Sandra Cook, who was standing near Kate, told reporters that she asked Kate if she had been about to say, 'daughter' and was told at first that the royal couple did not know and then that the couple would not reveal the child's gender.

Rated 3.7 out of 5�by 95 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by me outdoors 5 ft. quantum octane The 5ft. Quantum Octane is a great rod and reel combo and this is why. I've fished my whole life and have had numerous rod and reel combos over the years. When I was in my late teens I purchased a quantum tactics rod and reel combo and it to was a great rod and reel combo and I used it for many years with great success and absolute reliability. Now if you think about that, that's saying a lot. Now imagin my great disapoinment when my family and I were on a canou trip and the guys are fishing and the girls are having a good time and we are about to hit some rapids so I put my daughter in the canou with my son and myself and the rod across my knees and as canou trips go, we ended up sideways going thru some rappids and I instinctively made sure that my young daughter is safe, So when we get thru this stretch of ruff water everybody in the canou is safe, but I have no rod!! Keep in mind this is a quantum tactics. So evidently in try to make sure I didn't lose my 4year old daughter, I lost the rod. So no more quantum. So the years go on and I fished many different rod and reel combos but none were quit the same. Gander mountain guide series rods fall short in every aspect. They are rods and I've caught many fish with them but there is always something wrong with them, either the reel the rod tip or an eyelet something always broke on them. So I started looking for a new quantum tactics, none to be found. So I strolled into Dicks Sporting Goods and " wala " there she is, a 5ft quantum octane light weight rod and reel combo, as soon as I picked it up, it felt like I just got my first girlfriend back. Thats bliiss. So yes I'm very glad to have found this product in your store and have caught small mouth, stripers, and white bass with it as well as trout. Its a great rod for stream fishing and very reliable. I haven't owned it for many years but I'm sure I will. Please let me know if you reed this. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by zswede great rod i love this rod. i've had it for a few months now and i go fishing 3 times a week atleast. My biggest catch was a 8 pound bass. ive caught quite a few big bass with this rod and it holds up just fine. i recommend this combo for anyone. P.S. i dont know what other people are talking about when they say the rod breaks with one catch August 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Hunter Decent Rod I bought the 7ft MH combo last year at my local dicks store, and put 12lb fluorocarbon on it. i love the rod to death but the reel could be better. its okay and functions perfectly but its not my favorite of all my reels. i caught several pike on it ranging from 20-40 inches and tons of bass ranging 0-8 pounds. the 8 pounder i caught felt great on this rod and the drag was smooth and had no problems. very very very sensitive tip, with plenty of backbone. i would recommend this rod to somebody who has experience only because you need to know how to set the drag so that it doesn't brake in half like other people say it does. so all in all its a great rod and ill be fishing with it for a while. November 23, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Gaspasser Very disappointing Had high expectations for a MH (though seemed very light), 2-piece, 7-ft rod/reel combo for sockeye. Gave the rod a decent flex as might be anticipated with an 8-12 lb red in heavy current. The rod instantly snapped in 2 places like a dry twig; sure glad I wasn't already at the Kenai! Returned the item to Dick's without any problems for full refund. Not interested in trying any Quantum products again, but very satisfied with Dick's customer service. July 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Chiggy Great Combo for the money Quantum is a great brand, and this combo shows us once again that just about anything they produce is of quality. I have put 30lb braid and like to throw soft plastics with this rod. it has a good strong neck for those hard hook sets in grass and stomps. This bad boy had no problem bringing in some nice snake heads on top water frogs, so it can do it all. September 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Miketheangler Great rod and real This Is a decent beginners rod for some one who long for the feel of a pro rod. Great for both freshwater and inshore saltwater. Being as sensitive as the rod is, I can understand why anglers who don't know how to set the drag can actually break the pole. Set the drag and this rod is golden to catch everything from largemouth bass to redfish. July 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by beth Disappointment This was purchased for my son. On its first use, he caught a 1 pound catfish and it snapped the pole. Dick's customer service was outstanding. We were able to return the rod/reel combo without any problems. July 9, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jrock Poorly built after about 10 uses I coasted a chatterbait out and as soon as I flipped the bail all the bolts holding it together came out and are now at the bottom of the lake. I understand its not a tour quality set up but come on. July 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jim2013 Dont buy if you plan on using the combo for more than 1 day Well I can't even say you get what you pay for because this reel and rod are comparable to'29.99 combos and dicks tries getting 79 bucks for it. So it was on sale for 59 when I bought it for my daughter , and after 1 hour or use the entire bail assemble fell apart and of course half of the parts are in the lake and this reel is not listed on quantums site to even order parts on. So if anyone else is looking to through their money away I.ll give you my home address and you gave give me you hard earned money and save a lot of aggravation and disappointment Hey is there nay way to post a negative star ? Not worthy on one star Jim September 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Jan Disappointed This combo feels and handles well...very smooth and lightweight. However, the reel handle kept loosening during use. It almost came apart three times within one hour of use! Very disappointing, do I returned it and decided to purchase the more expensive Abu Garcia Orra S combo. Dick's customer service was awesome as usual!! August 31, 2013

Vempati Chinna Satyam left his native village in Andhra with just two rupees in hand
Kuchipudi exponent Vempati Chinna Satyam, who played a crucial role in taking the art form from a tiny village in Andhra Pradesh to the international stage, passed away at his Greenways Road residence here on Sunday. He was 82.
The legendary dance guru had a special Chennai connection. Credited with having systematised the dance form, drawing high recognition and international acclaim to it.
Vempati Chinna Satyam made Chennai his home when he was barely 18, and set up the Kuchipudi Art Academy in the city in 1963. The move from Kuchipudi — his native village in Andhra Pradesh — to Chennai marked the beginning of his remarkable journey in the field of dance. Vempati Ravishankar, his son, said: "My father has told us that he took two rupees from his older sister and walked all the way from our village to the Gudur railway station in Nellore district bordering Tamil Nadu." His conviction to pursue the art form in Chennai, considered the Mecca of traditional dance, brought him all the way here.
Fatigued after walking nearly 400 km, he was sleeping at the station when a Train Ticket Examiner woke him up, invited him home for a meal and gave him some money. "My father used that money to travel to Chennai," Mr. Ravishankar said.
In addition to performance and choreography, much of his time was devoted to training Kuchipudi aspirants.
Several leading artistes of today were once trained by him, including actors Manju Bhargavi and Hema Malini.
Actor Manju Bhargavi's association with him goes back to the day she was born. "My parents were very close to him and he came and saw me at the hospital. I started learning from him when I was seven, and every class was memorable," she said. Recalling that her guru was a rather simple man, she said: "But, he was a task master when it came to teaching dance. He was particular about the rigour in training. If Kuchipudi is so popular today, it is solely because of his efforts."
Uma Muralikrishna, Kuchipudi artiste and disciple of Vempati Chinna Satyam, said that in her opinion, Kuchipudi was synonymous with her guru. "His choreography was captivating and as a teacher, he was most sincere. He redefined that art form considerably – what was seen as a rustic art form was later being perceived as a classical form, thanks to his efforts."
Vempati Chinna Satyam received several honours and titles, including a Padma Bhushan as well as Kalaimamani from the government of Tamil Nadu.
Actively engaged in production and choreography until a few years ago, Vempati Chinna Satyam was diagnosed with pneumonia in February this year. Though he recovered, he developed other medical complications leading to multiple organ failure recently.
He is survived by wife Swarajyalakshmi, two sons and three daughters.

The Office of Personnel Management had promised that it would be more streamlined and easier to use than the previous version. It is asking agencies that use the site to recruit to extend their application deadlines while it works out the kinks.

No criminal charges in fatal gun range shooting by 9-year-old girl
Published on Aug 29, 2014 11:47 AM
WHITE HILLS, Arizone (REUTERS) - County law enforcement officials in Arizona said on Thursday that no criminal charges are pending after a probe into a gun range incident in which a 9-year-old girl fatally shot her instructor with an Uzi, adding it was "being viewed as an industrial accident."
But state occupational health and safety officials were conducting their own probe of the Monday morning incident that was captured on video at a gun range that caters in part to tourists visiting nearby Las Vegas.
The shooting at the Arizona Last Stop in White Hills, near the Nevada border, has touched off debate over shooting ranges offering machine guns to casual visitors and the wisdom of giving children access to high-powered firearms.
"Based on the video, the Sheriff's Office has determined no charges are pending," the Mohave County Sheriff's Office said in a statement, adding that the shooting was "being viewed as an industrial accident."

Guidance for understanding and communicating about the price of health care.
Transformation toward value-based healthcare is reshaping the delivery of care, patient expectations, and payment structures.
Improve your revenue cycle performance through standard metrics, peer comparison, and successful practices.
It wasn't that long ago when third-party payments were the dominant force in the way healthcare providers were paid. Things have changed at a rapid pace, and we're now well into the new norm of high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). With 44 percent of employers reporting in PwC's 2013 Touchstone survey that they are likely to only offer HDHPs in 2014, patients will continue to bear more responsibility for the payment of their care.
That means providers need to work smarter, not harder, to collect those patient payments to stay afloat. While there are many ways to reduce bad debt, such as making follow-up calls to patients with past-due balances, one efficient and economical approach is to simply send a more readable bill. If patients are confused about their statements, they're more likely to pick up the phone with questions than pick up their checkbook to pay the bill.
In several focus groups conducted earlier this year, patients participating in three fully blinded sessions across a range of demographics shared their feedback. The goal was to determine what does and does not work in patient statements and use this research to improve statement design. Patients shared the following feedback.
Billing statements affect patient opinions and satisfaction. In each group, one or more participants stated that they believed insurance providers' information about care encounters to be more reliable than information from their healthcare providers. The patients expressed frustration when hospitals send bills that are unclear, and they reported concerns about discrepancies between statements and explanation-of-benefit documents, noting that mismatched information generates the need for calls and inquiries to gain clarification.
Details are important to patients. The focus groups revealed that simplicity of information in billing statements does not equate to the exclusion of details. Participants resoundingly stated that they need billing details that are presented in a simple fashion and stated clearly. If they don't have the itemization of services or other details, they wait to receive all the information they require before making payment. Many participants said they clarified their charges by calling their provider.
The core strategy revealed through the study is to "focus on clarity of information." Clarity is not the exclusion of details, but rather it is the clear, concise, and logical conveyance of complete information.
Well-designed statement summaries can be effective tools. After reviewing a series of statements intentionally designed to improve clarity of information, participants responded with top-of-mind thoughts. These reactions were dramatically more positive in comparison to cluttered statements that were only printed in black and white.
Provide a summary page and itemized details. Patients responded positively to billing statements that provided both summary pages and itemized details. Effective summary pages highlight the key points: amount owed, date due, and where/how to send payment. Account detail pages offer descriptive line items to document all aspects of care, serving as useful explanation of the account summary page.
As patients take on more of the financial responsibility for their healthcare expenses, revenue cycle leaders can make the payment process easier for patients by providing clearly defined statements and summary pages. Removing barriers to understanding hospital financial communications improves patients' overall opinion of the provider and enhances patient satisfaction.
Emdeon assists providers in creating clear, concise patient statements that result in effective patient communications.

How to Become a Radio Personality: Career Guide
Learn how to become a radio personality. Research the education requirements, training information and experience required for starting a career in radio broadcasting.
Do I Want to Be a Radio Personality?
Radio personalities (also called on-air personalities, hosts or announcers) play music, provide commentary and interview guests for on-air entertainment. This position requires creativity to generate ideas for new on-air material and the ability to ad-lib for an audience. In addition to working in a studio environment, radio personalities sometimes make appearances and broadcast live from local events or promotional locations. They must interact with the radio audience over the phone, in person and through social media.
There is strong competition for these entertainment industry jobs. Many entry-level positions in the field include working irregular and sometimes long hours, and those beginning their careers may need to start out in smaller markets.
Job Requirements
Educational requirements for this career vary by employer, but a formal degree in a field such as broadcasting is sometimes required. Often, having strong on-air skills and experience are even more important to securing a job as a radio personality. The following table describes the common qualifications and requirements that employers listed in job postings for radio personalities during September 2012:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|Varies by employer, but a degree is often desired
|Degree Field
|Communications or broadcasting
|1-2 years of prior on-air broadcasting
|Key Skills
|Strong voice, positive attitude, multi-tasking, people skills, copywriting, proficient at reading in public
|Computer Skills
|Social media programs, posting media online, Adobe Audition software, digital editing
|Technical Skills
|Control and mixing board operation, audio recording and playback equipment
|Additional Requirements
|Ability to work on-call or non-traditional shifts, knowledge of various music genres, ability to follow Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines
Step One: Research the Career
The level of experience needed to become a radio personality is dictated by an employer. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that radio announcers usually have a bachelor's degree in communications, journalism or broadcasting. Since there are a wide variety of career options, potential radio personalities should research the type of position they're looking for (DJ, program host, on-air announcer, etc.) and perhaps speak to professionals in the field to determine the best education path.
Step Two: Earn a Degree
While a degree may not be necessary, the BLS noted that a bachelor's degree could help radio announcers remain competitive among entry-level workers. Enrolling in a 4-year program can provide valuable skills and experience. Many colleges have on-campus radio stations so that students can gain on-air experience and learn about broadcast operations. Courses in public speaking, writing and broadcast reporting may also prove useful to broadcast students.
Success Tip:
- Participate in an internship. Many broadcast or journalism degree programs require students to complete internships before graduation. Radio broadcast internships provide hands-on experience in a station setting. The BLS reported that radio stations typically require applicants for on-air personality positions to have a certain amount of broadcast experience, which an internship can help fulfill.
Step Three: Gain Entry-Level Training
Potential radio personalities almost always start in an entry-level position before moving up the ranks. The BLS noted that several years of work experience may be necessary before a candidate might get a chance at hosting. The entry-level work allows them to build their voice, draw an audience and create ratings for their show.
Success Tips:
- Start in a small market. Stations in small markets cater to smaller audiences and are less competitive in ratings than their large-market counterparts. Many announcers start their careers in small markets, which gives them an opportunity to learn the industry, gain confidence and build experience. Applicants may need to consider moving to a smaller market to take advantage of such an opportunity.
- Learn more about the industry. It may be beneficial to join a professional organization, such as the National Association of Broadcasters. Membership allows individuals to stay abreast of industry information and further professional development.

Soy Sauce Caramelized Japanese Radish (Daikon)
1 Japanese radish (daikon)
2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons mirin
Water to cover up to 2nd layer
1) Wash the daikon and peel off the top layer of skin. Slice 7 - 1/2" thick slices off the daikon.
2) Arrange the daikon in a sauce pot so that you have three on the bottom, three on the second layer resting on the bottom three slices, and one on the top. Add the soy sauce, mirin, salt, and sugar. Then add water to cover up to the top of the 2nd layer.
3) Turn heat on and bring to boil. As soon as liquid boils, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer on low until daikon is as soft as you would like to eat it. Sauce will reduce as you cook it. Be careful not to let it reduce and burn.
I serve this as a side usually.
It can be served hot or cold.
Source of recipe: This is a traditional Japanese 'home cooking' recipe that I duplicated (I didn't use a recipe or book or anything, just figured it out).
I had no idea a daikon radish is not bitter like a radish-this is so soft and mild both in texture and taste. I have made this about 4 times now and each time it is so easy and tasty. At 20 calories per cup of radish it is a dieter's dream!!! Today was hot so I put it in my 4 quart crock pot and actually had more layers because the crock is more narrow than my pot, but it took a whole, large radish and after cooking about 8 hours was perfect-not mushy but completely cooked as if I had stood over a hot stove. This is a recipe I will continue to make about twice a month and share with other dieters!!!

Police Academy in the Alps
The weak leadership at the center is matched and possibly surpassed by the poor quality of the student body. In theory, students are the cream of the Eastern European crop. In reality, many bring to mind Bluto Blutarsky of Animal House. The reasons are easy to see: There are no admissions requirements, and students are picked by their governments, in consultation with US defense attachés. "Very few students here were sent because of their intellectual rigor," explains one professor, who, like many people I spoke with, asked to remain unidentified for fear of being targeted for retaliation. "Most are intelligence operatives, or were picked as a reward for being good bureaucrats or sycophants to important leaders." Others refer to a small "Bimbo Brigade"--girlfriends of Eastern European military VIPs. Some students have little command of any of the three languages in which instruction is offered, English, German and Russian. "I had one student whose English was limited to 'hello,' 'nice day' and 'want a beer,'" says the professor.
Like the faculty, students--there's been an average of about 300 per year--have an easy life. They are not tested or graded. They get paid a generous per diem rate that dwarfs what they would make at home. Not a few have returned to their native lands with a used Mercedes or BMW, paid for by American taxpayers. A number of center students have been arrested for shoplifting. A visiting Russian official was put up at a local hotel. He stole the comforters and curtains and emptied the minibar every night, leaving a tab that had to be picked up by taxpayers. Shortly after arriving at the Marshall Center, Dan Nelson says, he naïvely held a reception for students at his home. Many of his guests got bombed; they stole things from his house, tossed household items from the balcony and made offensive comments to his wife.
Students in the Marshall Center's Executive Program are treated to two "field studies" trips, one to Berlin and Brussels, and the other to New York and Washington. The combined annual cost to the US Treasury runs to roughly $400,000, according to a source familiar with the program. On one 1996 trip a lieutenant from Kazakhstan got so drunk and abusive to flight attendants and passengers that he had to be tied to a chair. Last October some members of a group of about sixty-five Marshall Center students on a United Airlines flight to the United States became drunk, unruly and dangerous; local police were contacted so they could meet the plane.
Meanwhile, the harassment of internal critics continues. In 1999 Air Force Lieut. Col. Timothy Killam, the division chief for the school's conference center, reported to a superior about what he believed was fraud and abuse at the center. The Military Whistleblower Protection Act should have protected Killam, but his superiors swiftly retaliated. He was given a poor evaluation that contrasted sharply with his past reviews, and he was denied a previously approved transfer to an Air Force base in England. A Pentagon IG report concluded late last year found in Killam's favor.
The Nation has learned that the IG has recently concluded yet another report that focuses on complaints filed by three women at the center against deputy director McCarthy. A former director of resource management told the IG that McCarthy "has treated women...as if they were worthless and disposable, creating an extremely hostile work environment." Samantha Nerove, the center's chief of protocol, has also complained about McCarthy. In a letter to Gen. Joseph Ralston, who is in charge of overseeing the Marshall Center from his post as commander in chief of the US European Command, she said that McCarthy had been verbally abusive on several occasions and once chased her down the hall. Nerove wrote, "I am an experienced professional woman with a long history of achievement. I know what constitutes normal and acceptable behavior in a US government workplace. What has been going on here is neither normal nor acceptable."
The third case involves Lieut. Col. Deborah Parson, who until arriving at the center had enjoyed an impeccable twenty-year military career. Her performance reports called her an "exemplary leader" and an "absolute professional." But at the center, Parson claims, McCarthy repeatedly made offensive remarks to her, including once telling her that one black female general was "a real loser, everyone knew it, and she was only promoted because she was a minority female." Last September 7 Parson had an altercation with Susan Denike, McCarthy's secretary. Parson says that in seeking to calm down Denike she put her hands on her shoulders. Denike claims that Parson grabbed her and blocked her from leaving her office. Center director Kennedy as well as the investigating officer in the case recommended that Parson receive a formal admonishment, a relatively mild penalty, but McCarthy fought for and won an official "letter of reprimand." That sanction--which Parson notes was roughly equivalent to the one imposed on the commander of the US submarine that in February 2001 sank a Japanese fishing vessel, killing nine people--effectively ended her military career.

The last time the Detroit Three turned up at the Tokyo Motor Show was in 2007. One recession later, Jeep returns to Tokyo to represent the Motor City.
With most of the new cars and concepts leaked weeks ago there hasn't been much real breaking news from the Tokyo Motor Show, so it was a bit of a surprise that Yamaha announced that it will be the first automotive manufacturer to embrace master automotive designer Gordon Murray's revolutionary iStream assembly process and that it will use the iStream process to build a lightweight two-seat city car called the Yamaha Motiv. The Motiv, based on Murray's T25 and T27 concepts, will be available in both gasoline and electric versions and targeted at the European market. Read More >
The radical, DeltaWing based Nissan BladeGlider electric car concept revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show will go into production within three years, according to Nissan's engineering chief Andy Palmer. Nissan executives also confirmed that a test mule of the RWD electrically powered three seater is already functional and that Ben Bowlby, who originated the DeltaWing concept, is involved in the BladeGlider project.
Nissan sees the BladeGlider as an affordable sports car for young people. "When I was growing up the principle was that young people wanted a sports car and their parents hated the idea of them – the problem with all of today's sports cars is that they are actually owned by parents," said Palmer. "We are exploring ways of getting back to a sports car that is affordable, challenging and appealing for young people." Read More >
Seen as a successor to the early '90s Honda Beat kei car, the new S660 roadster, which will go into production in 2014, was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show. The midengined car, as the nomenclature indicates, is powered by a 660cc three cylinder turbocharged engine driving through a seven speed paddle shifted transmission. While kei cars are meant specifically for the Japanese domestic market, there is a possibility that it might be sold, with modifications in other countries. Honda senior designer Ryo Sugiura, when asked about selling the little roadster outside of Japan, said, "I cannot tell you if it will or will not. It's a secret. The car would certainly need some re-engineering." Read More >
For anyone who admires the Volkswagen XL1 attributes but desires a less Teutonic, more cute vehicle, the fun will be doubled when the Twin up! debuts at both the LA and Tokyo auto shows later this month.
A new gold dawn for touring cars is upon us if Subaru is to be believed. Come November, the automaker will unveil the future of the Legacy and Outback at the Tokyo Motor Show: The Levorg.
Honda's rear-driven products built for two tend to be motorcycles, scooters and ATVs for the most part, but every now and again the company will unveil a roadster whose name begins with an S, and ends with the number of cubic centimeters the engine provides.
Such a car is set to return soon to the showroom floor, and will make its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in November: The Honda S660.
If you want to sell cars, you need to market them. Except in Japan, say the Detroit 3. In Japan, it's easier and cheaper to complain about closed markets and manipulated currencies than to waste money trying to sell cars. After the jump, you will find a list of automakers that will display their cars at this year's Tokyo Motor Show. You probably can imagine who is not on this list. Read More >
Automotive News Europe [sub] spotted a new trend in Tokyo: Daredevil CEOs:

Yesterday, you had your private tour of the Tokyo Motor Show, and you could not find a more competent and entertaining tour guide than Nissan's head designer Francois Bancon. (Officially, "Deputy Divisional GM for Product Strategy.") The former Renault man has seen the world. He was a Frenchman of the first hour at Nissan.
If you want to see the Japanese market through European eyes, then please tag along for part deux of the tour, where Bancon talks about Suzuki, Honda, and Daimler. Listen closely to what Bancon says about Daimler. Renault/Nissan and Daimler have an alliance, and Bancon knows where it is heading

No. 13 Butler steals 64-63 win over No. 8 Gonzaga
Butler got 14 points from freshman Kellen Dunham and eight from Khyle Marshall.
The Zags were led by Elias Harris and Sam Dower, who each scored 20. Olynyk, the West Coast Conference's top scorer, finished with 14 points and seven rebounds despite spending most of the second half in foul trouble.
The numbers paled in comparison to what happened in what was being billed as the best non-power conference game of the season.
Organizers did it up right.
In the morning, Plump missed both of the shots he took from the same spot in the same gym where he made the winning shot in the 1954 Indiana high school state tourney.
Some fans rekindled memories of past eras by wearing jerseys bearing the names of former Butler players such as Matt Howard and Duane Lightfoot. Every seat was filled 10 minutes before tip-off, and the students who were standing in line more than 2 1/2 hours before the game's scheduled start time literally ran into the fieldhouse to find a precious seat behind one of the baskets.
What they really wanted to see was Clarke in his game-day attire instead of street clothes as he battles back from a severely sprained neck.
The consolation prize wasn't bad: An instant classic.
Butler trailed 33-32 at halftime but came out of the locker room and scored the first five points to take the lead. The Bulldogs didn't trail again until Harris' layup made it 59-58 with 1:26 left.
Jones answered 19 seconds later with his own layup to give the Bulldogs the lead, starting a sequence of four straight lead changes.
When Olynyk made two free throws to give the Zags a 63-62 lead and Barlow turned the ball over, it looked as though that would be the last lead change of the night.
But Jones responded by stealing the ball and the game.
"I just made a basketball play," he said. "I heard the coach say lob and I just made a basketball play."

SSE has an essential purpose at its core - providing the energy people and businesses need to survive. We have a responsibility to ensure this need is met in a sustainable way, both now and for the long term.
Top Marks for Managing Climate Change
In the 2014 CDP Annual Report - one of the most important annual assessments of how large companies impact on climate change - SSE achieved an 'A' rating for its performance in reducing carbon emissions during 2013/14.
To find out more visit news and views, and to see SSE's 2013/14 CDP submission click here.
The right thing to do
Responsible employers treat their employees well and reward them with a decent rate of pay. SSE is one of the UK's largest Living Wage employers and that means our employees – and increasingly our contractors – earn an hourly rate that exceeds the national minimum wage.
SSE believes the Living Wage makes an important contribution to reducing in-work poverty throughout the UK.
Paying our fair share
As a provider of an essential service SSE has a responsibility to contribute to the societies in which we operate. Paying the appropriate amount of tax is core to this.
So we're proud to be the first FTSE 100 company to be awarded the Fair Tax Mark.
For more information see our News and Views page, or view our tax policy on our Reporting and Data page.
Being responsible, making a difference
Shareholders allow us to exist; but it's our customers, our employees, and the communities in which we live, work and operate, who allow us to be successful. So shareholders need us to do the right thing.
This video highlights some of the actions SSE has taken to ensure it has a positive impact on people's lives.
