Richard Wright: A Collection of Critical Essays.
Arnold Rampersad, biographer of Langston Hughes and editor of the two-volume Library of America edition of the works of Richard Wright, has added another dimension to Richard Wright scholarship with the publication of Richard Wright: A Critical Collection. It is a valuable repository of information for the seasoned or novice Wright scholar. The collection consists of an introduction, fifteen essays, a chronology of important dates, notes on contributors, and a bibliography. Basically, the articles are reprints dating from 1981 to 1991, and three have no footnotes or works cited, a lack which may alarm some readers. However, the "Introduction" is newly generated material for the collection. In it, Rampersad observes that "Richard Wright's reputation as a writer has risen and fallen over the more than six decades since he began publishing his works in 1931, when he was twenty-three" (1). The fifteen reprints reflect the critics' assessments of Wright's works that led to his rise and fall in critical acclaim. Four of the articles are by top Wright scholars--Keneth Kinnamon, Jack B. Moore, Yoshinobu Hakutani, and John M. Reilly. Given the delay most publications encounter, these articles reflect the 1980s critical temperament in Wright studies as well as the handicaps faced by scholar/critics.
A major hardship for Wright scholars was the tight control Wright's executors exerted over his unpublished papers and manuscripts. Sherley Anne Williams remarks in a footnote to her 1982 essay that she did "not have access" to Wright's unpublished manuscripts of "Little Sister" and "Maud" (66). But her travail of being denied access to Wright's "sealed" manuscripts was the plight of Wright scholars until very recently. Critics have had to rely upon second-hand information and the publications of Michel Fabre, especially his definitive biography The Unfinished Quest of Richard Wright (1973), in order to construct, reconstruct, or deconstruct Wright's life or his works. Seven of the fifteen essays cite Fabre's biography. And Wright's letters still have not been released by the Wright estate. As a result of these "dark holes" of (mis)information, we find conflicting data being proffered by critics on common matters. Rampersad considers Wright's essay "Literature of the United States" as the "most interesting" of the four lecture-essays in White Man, Listen! (1957), while Keneth Kinnamon corrects another critic's assumption that Wright produced this essay while an exile in France (98).
Another contradiction among the critical voices pertains to available resources. The unrestricted files of Harper and Row, Wright's publishers, and the letters of Edward Aswell, his editor, were available at Princeton University in the 1980s. Timothy Dow Adams would have benefitted from these files for his essay, since the publisher's letters reveal the legal counsel given to Wright to change the names of real persons cited in Black Boy in order to avoid a libel suit. Sherley Anne Williams's article stands as the seminal essay labeling Richard Wright as a misogynist and anti-black-feminist writer. We hear echoing voices of Williams's premise in the articles by Kinnamon, Hakutani, Rampersad, and Joseph T. Skerrett, Jr. (although Hakutani cites the 1969 remarks of Edward Margolies, who had condemned Wright for his unfavorable portrayal of black women).
Rampersad wisely starts the collection with critiques of Wright's most famous novel, Native Son (1940). Jerry H. Bryant in "The Violence of Native Son" (1981) asserts that Bigger Thomas is a "black victim of white racism" (12). Barred from participating in American culture, he breaks the rules of civilized society. Louis Tremaine (1986) contends that Bigger Thomas has a "dissociated sensibility" which accounts for his "split consciousness," itself exacerbated by Bigger's inability to articulate his vacillating emotions, ranging from indifferent expressions to violent responses.
In "From St. Petersburg to Chicago" (1986), Tony Magistrale traces Wright's attraction to Dostoevski. He illustrates how constrictive urban environments contribute to the anti-social behaviors of Raskolnikov and Bigger Thomas. Magistrale portrays Bigger as a victim of his environment, whereas Raskolnikov is a prisoner of his self-will. Bryant links Bigger's likeness to Albert Camus's existentialist hero Meursault in The Stranger, pointing out that both heroes commit violent murders that move them toward the self submerged under many masks. Readers here should turn to Yoshinobu Hakutani's excellent essay (1989) for a fuller explication of the Wright-Camus link. However, Hakutani concentrates more on the distinctions between Meursault and Cross Damon as radically different characters on matters of ideology and action. Wright's hero is not only an embodiment of a "half-baked philosophy" but a "genuine product of the African American experience" (163). The twins of naturalism--heredity and environment--are more evident in The Stranger than in The Outsider. For Camus, crime is not the center but a consequence; for Wright, crime occasions the creation of a new self and a new life for the hero.
In "Composing Bigger" (1988), Joseph T. Skerrett, Jr., rejects the usual reading of naturalism and Marxism in the novel. Like Bryant, Magistrale, and Tremaine, Skerrett notes the criminal element but fails to consider Bigger's violent and chaotic formative years in Mississippi and his youth in Chicago that destine him to be a recidivist. The value of Skerrett's article is its attention to the theme of authorial self-referentiality prevalent in Wright's fiction and nonfiction. He ties in Wright's personal history of working at the Chicago South Side Youth Club as an inspiration for the creation of Bigger. Writing the novel exorcised Wright of the "forces, black and white, that attempted to censure" his feelings. Ultimately Bigger's "search is for identity" (35).
In "Richard Wright and the Art of Nonfiction" (1986), John M. Reilly focuses on Wright's critical writing as a representation of biography, and his personal experience as a rhetorical framework in a text. Focusing on The Color Curtain (1956) and White Man, Listen! (1957), he contends that Wright's nonfiction of the 1950s represents his resolution of the professional crisis caused by his exile. The Outsider shows Wright's "crisis of exile and disillusionment with politics"; The Color Curtain and White Man, Listen! show Wright's resolution to a "crisis of despair": He creates the identity of an intellectual through whom he could speak, as in 12 Million Black Voices (175).
Kwame Anthony Appiah disagrees with Reilly in "Wright in the Gold Coast" (1987). He refutes Reilly's claim that Wright attempts a "self-fashioning" by "building a bridge of words between his self and the world"; rather, the "failure of that `bridge of words' ... is precisely what the success of that 'prerequisite to create his self' demands" (191). Appiah contends that Wright in Black Power (1954) has no attachment to or interest in Africa; as a result, the reader witnesses Wright's mood swings as they vacillate between condescension and paranoia. Appiah authenticates his claims that Wright's "book is the record of a mind closed to the world which he travelled" (194) from the personal experience of one who grew up in the Ghana of 1953 that Wright condemns.
The personal voice of authority in Wright's nonfiction continues to receive attention in Jack B. Moore's essay on "The Voice in 12 Million Black Voices" (1989). This groundbreaking essay is now somewhat dated. Moore, too, builds upon Reilly's work to argue the importance of oral language in the work's structure. He links Wright's text to the 1930s genre of "documentary film" and its intertwining of "kinetic visual images," sound, and narrated text (141). Wright's narrative "voice," Moore says, oscillates between that of minister and orator. While Moore identifies "montage" and other cinematic techniques used by Wright for his "telescoping of black history" in the text (142-43), he cites William Stott as an authority on the documentary, but Stott actually misread the major collaborative efforts between Wright and Rosskam in the selecting, cropping, and placing of the FSA pictures in the photographic text.
Three essays examine Wright's autobiography Black Boy (1945) and its purpose of self-representation. Timothy Dow Adams in "I Do Believe Him Though I Know He Lies" (1985) asserts that Wright's "inability to tell the truth is Wright's metaphor for the self" (83). Adams notes instances of Wright's changing of an idea or event between one text and another or his switching of real names to fiction and fictional names to nonfiction. In "Call and Response" (1986), Keneth Kinnamon appropriates Robert Stepto's theory of the pregeneric myth and the African American's "quest for literacy and freedom" as expressed in the slave narrative and its recursion in autobiography and fiction. There is an intertextual tradition among writers of African American literature which Stepto divides into "The Call" and "The Response." Stepto includes Black Bo), among the texts which "call," and Kinnamon pairs it with Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings as "the response." Considering gender differences, Kinnamon then provides paradigms of similarities with differences between the two autobiographies as narratives of childhood to youth spanning fourteen years. Their love of literature enables both Wright and Angelou to transcend obstacles of oppression in their quests for literacy and freedom.
The most profound essay in Rampersad's collection is Abdul JanMohammed's "The Construction of Richard Wright as Subject" (1987). Building upon Stepto's contention of Wright's quest for literacy and freedom, JanMohammed argues that Black Boy is a "testament to the struggle over formation of black subjectivity in a racist society" (107). He uses ideas of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari to argue that minorities cannot participate in the dominant culture until their hegemonic negation is itself negated. Then he shows how Richard Wright resisted construction into a collective representation. JanMohammed turns to the theory of social death by Orlando Patterson to show how the controlling mechanisms of white dominant culture intentionally negated the slave's mind and thus power and identity (producing social death). Wright resisted social construction into a collective black boy to rise as an individual self, and Black Boy is an account of the dialectics between this phylogenic and ontogenic construction of the black boy.
Roman mythology is also a link to Wright's fiction according to Michael Atkinson in "`Big Boy Leaves Home' and a Tale from Ovid" (1987). The value of his essay concerns the trope of the "gaze" as a symbol of power and of death for the black male voyeur who either "sees" or is "seen" by the archetypal white woman. Ultimately, Big Boy gets trapped in a "crime of vision rather than sex" (133).
Violence toward black males is also a topic in Lawd Today!. Arnold Rampersad's 1991 essay reads like an "Introduction," which he wrote for the edition reissued by Northeastern University Press. Linking Wright's 1930s novel to influences of James Joyce and Henry James, Rampersad illustrates that the work traces a day in the life of postal employee Jake Jackson over the urban landscape of Chicago.
The essay by Patricia D. Watkins on "The Paradoxical Structure of `The Man Who Lived Underground'" (1989) synthesizes the naturalistic/existentialist philosophies which critics traditionally have read in isolation. Watkins provides a thorough explication of these dual philosophies informing the life and actions of Fred Daniels. In particular, she examines Wright's use of language, and specifically oxymorons such as "living dead" to describe the people above ground, and "dark sunshine" to illustrate inversion of dark-light symbols. But strangely, Watkins completely ignores how these oxymorons prevail in Wright's other works, such as "Almos' A Man" (1940), Native Son (1940), and 12 Million Black Voices (1941). She concludes that Richard Wright was a born naturalistic/existentialist philosopher who must have seen the paradox "inherent in man's essence and existence" (160).
Finally, Sherley Anne Williams cuts through all of Wright's paradoxes with her straightforward essay on "Women in the Fiction of Richard Wright" (1982). She provides a sweeping review of the image of black women as castrators and white women as saviors of black men in Wright's published canon to 1982, giving credit to Wright's "deft and moving renderings of a black woman's experience" in "Bright and Morning Star." Citing the mute characterization of Lulu Mann in "Down by the Riverside," Williams casts her as Wright's prototypical speechless or invisible black woman whom Wright blames as the handicap to his black male heroes. She charges Wright with fathering the "denigration of black women" and "glorifying ... the symbolic white woman" that was to "flower in the fiction of black writers in the late sixties and seventies" (66).
Arnold Rampersad's collection of essays provides an important and insightful overview of the critical temperament of Wright studies during the 1980s. Let us hope that, since the Wright archives at Yale University are now open for viewing and xeroxing of materials, Wright's critics in the mid-1990s will avail themselves of these invaluable firsthand resources.

The work, reported in an advance, online issue of the journal Nature on December 6, 2007, furthers the broad and important goal of elucidating how the neurological system can detect and respond to specific cues in of a sea of potential triggers.
These results are a really exciting starting place for us to understand how pheromones and the brain can shape behavior, says team leader Lisa Stowers of the Scripps Research Department of Cell Biology.
Pheromones are chemical cues that are released into the air, secreted from glands, or excreted in urine and picked up by animals of the same species, initiating various social and reproductive behaviors.
Although the pheromones identified in this research are not produced by humans, the regions of the brain that are tied to behavior are the same for mice and people, says James F. Battey, Jr., director of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) of the National Institutes of Health, which provided funding for the study. Consequently, this research may one day contribute to our understanding of the neural pathways that play a role in human behavior. Much is known about how pheromones work in the insect world, but we know very little about how these chemicals can influence behavior in mammals and other vertebrates.
The Complex Puzzle of Brain Function
Identifying the chemical pathway of signals that make their way through the neurological system is not easy. One of the challenges for scientists studying brain circuits is that the brain is constantly changing. How a brain detects and then responds to the scent of a particular food, for instance, evolves as the animal learns about that food.
But certain behaviors such as aggression responses between male mice tend to be the same each time they are triggered, suggesting a steady pathway through neurological circuits. So, the Stowers group has focused a research program on underst

A series of gentle coincidences sets the low-key plot in motion: Petr (Sasa Rarilov) and Hanka (Jitka Schneiderova) have broken up, because it was inevitable, or because a coin toss landed tails. En route to her parents' house, she and her genially stoned mover (Jiri Machacek) come across a flipped car and deliver its passenger to the hospital, where he's operated on by an old-flame neurosurgeon (Ivan Trojan) who still hankers after Hanka. Meanwhile, the doctor's travel agent wife is trying to find a "typical" Czech family to show Japanese tourists, and a few degrees of separation later decides upon Hanka's parents. Adding to the forced nuttiness is a Macedonian waif searching for UFOsor her long-lost father. (She posits the existence of 42 civilizations and cribs a Vonnegut joke without attribution, citing a planet where coitus requires seven participants.)
The ungainly, Hanka-stalking doc parodies Kundera's godlike Unbearable surgeon, invoking the G-man Himself while trying to woo her. But for the most part, this mild soap smells like time out of joint. Released in the Czech Republic in 2000, Loners might well be old hat by the banks of the Vltava, too; here it feels at least a decade late, and one is alarmed by the UFOlogist's figure of 42how many more takes on this twice-told tale will follow?

Court hearing Vioxx case evacuated in alert
ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey (Reuters) – A courthouse in Atlantic City where a case is being heard against drug company Merck & Co. over pain-relieving drug Vioxx was evacuated on Wednesday after a suspicious device was found.
Clarence Dickerson, operations officer at Atlantic County Court House, said a device the size of a cigar box had been found in the sheriff's department on the first floor of the court house.
He described the package as having "wires on it and nails wrapped around it."
"To me it looked very suspicious," Dickerson told Reuters.
The latest hearing in the Vioxx trial had been due to start on the third floor of the court house at 9 a.m.
By around 8.30 a.m. some 50 people were being kept at a distance of around 100 yards (meters) from the building in Atlantic City near the city's famous casinos.
Almost 10,000 plaintiffs have sued Merck over Vioxx, claiming the company knew the drug increased the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events, but failed to adequately warn users of its dangers. About half of the cases have been filed in Merck's home state of New Jersey.
The drug was withdrawn after a study of 8,000 patients found five times as many heart attacks occurred in Vioxx users than in people who took naproxen, another pain reliever.

The Bruins floodgates have opened in third period
|02.24.09 at 9:06 pm ET
The third period was Boston's friend for much of the magical first half of the hockey, and it is again tonight after goals by Byron Bitz and veteran blueliner Aaron Ward. Bitz blasted home a juicy rebound of a Stephane Yelle shot and Ward scored on a long bomb shot from the right point.
The Bruins lead 5-1 over the Panthers with 11:23 to go in the third in a laugher at the Garden. Bonus info: decent little scrap by a pair of players with vistors on between the two goals as Chuck Kobasew and Florida D-man Keith Ballard dropped the gloves and threw a punch or two.

Detour is clear winner at the Singapore Short Film Awards

Re: Saturday Service Plays
Jeff Benton
20 Dime: LOUISVILLE (plus the points vs. North Carolina)
10 Dime: UCLA-Xavier UNDER the total
5 Dime: BULLS (minus the points vs. Bucks)
I'm not big into regrets in this business – there's just no use for that kind of wasted emotional energy. But I have to say, I do have one regret to this point in the NCAA Tournament: not using Louisville as my Best Bet on Thursday (I used the Cardinals as a free play instead). After what Louisville did in its first two Tournament game – destructions of both Boise State and Oklahoma, which was preceded by a sensational run at the end of the regular season – I should've been all over Rick Pitino's boys against Tennessee. And of course the Cardinals buried a third straight opponent, this one a very talented, 31-win Volunteers team that had lost four games all season and was ranked No. 1 in the nation about a month ago.
Well, tonight, I rectify that error, as there is no doubt in my mind that Louisville is the real deal. There's also no doubt in my mind that Louisville is winning this game outright against North Carolina. You read that correctly – I like the Cardinals to beat the Tar Heels straight-up, although we WILL take the points just to be safe.
Let's go over Louisville's resume: Since starting out 5-3, the Cardinals have won 22 of their last 27 games, and they come into this one having cashed at a 17-4-1 ATS clip in the last 22 contests, going 3-0-1 as an underdog. Among the victims for Louisville: Georgetown, Notre Dame, Villanova, Pitt, Marquette (twice), West Virginia and Kentucky, all NCAA Tournament teams. What's almost as impressive is the fact that the Cardinals have lost just three games since mid January – a two-point loss at UConn, a three-point loss at Georgetown and a seven-point overtime loss at Pitt in the Big East tournament. That's it!
In its first three Tournament wins, Louisville has been consistent on both ends of the floor, scoring 79, 78 and 79 points against Boise State, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Additionally, the Cardinals held those three foes to an average of 56.3 points per game on 40.1 percent shooting. And if you go back to the regular season, the Cardinals have held five of their last six opponents (including Georgetown and Villanova) to 61 points or less. (Only exception was the overtime game vs. Pitt.)
What about North Carolina, you ask? Haven't the Tar Heels dismantled all three of their Tournament opponents, including Washington State – a team I backed with my Best Bet on Thursday? Indeed they have. But I'm the first to admit that I underestimated Washington State's offensive deficiencies – the Cougars ended with just 18 field goals and shot a woeful 31.6 percent from the field. But Wazu's defense DID step up like I thought it would, holding Carolina to 43.1 percent, including 5-for-15 from three-point range. The point: Louisville is just as good as Washington State defensively, but far superior offensively, as the Cardinals are shooting a whopping 55.8 percent from the field in the tourney.
Bottom line: Last year, North Carolina got to this point in the Tournament after three-straight double-digit blowouts and looked like a sure-fire lock for the Final Four … then the Heels faced Georgetown of the Big East and the Hoyas pulled out a 96-84 overtime win as just a 3½-point underdog. Tonight, we're getting nearly double those points with a Louisville squad that I think is playing better right now than last year's Georgetown team.
The Cardinals, who have cashed in four straight games against the ACC, five straight non-conference games and four of their last five Tournament games, shock the world tonight. Play Louisville plus the points.
UCLA-Xavier UNDER the total
Forget about UCLA's defensive implosion in the second half of Thursday's game against Western Kentucky, when the Bruins yielded 58 points in a half that featured a total of 105 points. UCLA was up by 21 points at the break and just took its foot off the gas – something you KNOW pissed off coach Ben Howland, so that ain't happening tonight. Besides, if you take away those 58 second-half points, UCLA has given up a total – TOTAL – of 98 points in the other five "halves" of basketball. And if you go back to Jan. 26, you'll see that the Bruins' sensational defense has allowed an average of 59.2 ppg over an 18-game stretch, with eight of those opponents scoring 62 or fewer. So in other words, good luck to Xavier scoring the ball tonight. Heck, just look at how the Musketeers were held down against the last four defensive-oriented teams they faced: They scored 53 and 66 in two losses to St. Joe's, 57 at Dayton and 66 at home against George Washington. And earlier in the year, they managed just 55 points at Arizona State.
Meanwhile, Xavier's defense has been very stout of late. Prior to giving up 78 points in a foul-filled second-round game against Purdue and 75 in Thursday's overtime win against West Virginia, the Musketeers had gone through an 15-game stretch in which it gave up 61.4 ppg, with nine of those 15 foes scoring 62 or fewer. Tonight, Xavier faces a Bruins team that can score when pushed (like offensive-minded Western Kentucky the other night), but tends to have trouble putting the ball in the hoop in games that are slowed down. Just look at last Saturday's final against Texas A&M: UCLA won 51-49, but made just 19 of 44 field goals.
Finally, if history tells us anything, it's that this is the round that UCLA's plays at a snail's pace. Last year, the Bruins beat Pitt 68-55 in the Elite Eight, a year after edging Memphis 50-45, with both games staying under the total. In fact, the under is 6-1 in the Bruins' last seven Tournament games and 16-5 in the last 21 in this event, including 10-2 "under" when UCLA is favored.
In the end, I don't think UCLA will allow Xavier to play at a fast pace, and to be honest, I don't think Xavier wants to anyway. The Musketeers know they don't have the athletes to run with the Bruins, and that the way to hang in this contest is to limit possessions, bang the ball down low and try to get UCLA into foul trouble. This one gets played in the 50s, folks. Play it UNDER the total.
Both the Bulls and Bucks are coming off Friday night losses and come into this one after traveling overnight, so the back-to-back part of the equation is a wash. What we're left with is this: You've got a dead team (Milwaukee) playing on the road where it has sucked all year (6-29 SU, 12-22 ATS) against an opponent (Chicago) that still has a playoff pulse and is back at home where it is 7-4 SU and ATS in its last 11, with the winner covering the spread in each of those 11 contests. Also, there's a very strong trend that favors the Bulls in this one: They're 0-2 in their last two contests, but they haven't lost three straight games since the day after Christmas (a stretch of 46 contests).
Finally, take a look at what the Bucks, who got DRILLED at home by Orlando last night, have done in their last seven road games: 115-96 loss at Atlanta, 78-73 loss at god-awful Miami (as a nine-point favorite, no less), 105-97 loss at Washington, 128-106 loss at Indiana, 120-106 loss at New Jersey, 127-100 loss at Detroit, 107-96 loss at Dallas. Oh, and since barely covering in the Dallas game, they're 0-6 ATS on the highway. Throw in the fact that the Bucks are 3-15 ATS this year as an underdog of eight points or more, and I have no trouble laying the big number with the Bulls.

Re: Saturday Service Plays
No Best Bets for Saturday, but I have one NBA opinion and opinions on both NCAA tourney games.
Sunday's Best Bets will be released on my Best Bets release page at .cfm?p=4 starting at 9:15 am Pacific on Sunday morning.
Saturday NBA Opinion
DENVER (-7) over Golden State
Denver's annual late-season surge is well underway, as the Nuggets have covered in 9 of their last 10 games, and the inconsistent Warriors are due for a down game after beating Portland on Thursday. Denver is now 55-26-1 ATS from game 60 on (regular season only) under coach George Karl and the Nuggets are 77-46 ATS under Karl in home games if they did not play the previous night (15-4 ATS recently). Golden State, meanwhile, is only 8- 26-1 ATS after their last 35 wins and the Nuggets apply to a very good 64-15-2 ATS general situation. The problem with this play is the inflated line, as my ratings favor Denver by just 4 ½ points in this game. Using recent games only would result in a fair line of 6 ½ points, but that would assume that Denver's trend of playing well later in the season has nothing to do with random variance – and there is certainly a good chance that it does. If I used Denver's home games with rest against the Warriors games off a win then I could justify the higher line on this game (I would get a prediction of 7 ½ points), but that would assume that those team trends are 100% predictive, which of course they aren't (or we'd all be hitting 70% simply playing team trends). I'll lean with Denver at -7 points or less, but I will not make the Nuggets a Best Bet since the line is simply too high.
Saturday, March 29
Louisville (+6) over North Carolina
North Carolina and Louisville have both been very impressive so far in this tournament, with both teams covering the spread in all 3 games. I expect Louisville to continue their pointspread run today as they qualify in a 20-4-2 ATS round 4 situation. Louisville struggled in their pre-conference schedule without big man David Padgett (4-6 ATS), but the Cardinals are 17-6 ATS with Padgett in the lineup, including 16-4 ATS when not favored by 14 points or more and 8-1 ATS as a favorite of less than 4 points or as an underdog – so they've played well against other good teams. North Carolina is 23-10-1 ATS this season but a lot of their spread wins were against mediocre or bad teams (12-2 ATS as a favorite of 14 points or more) and the Tarheels are just 2-3-1 ATS as a favorite of less than 8 points this season. My ratings favor North Carolina by 5 points after awarding the Heels 2 ½ points for playing in nearby Charlotte. As good as North Carolina has been in the tournament so far, my math model using only the 3 NCAA Tournament games for each team also favors the Tarheels by 5 points. The only thing keeping this from being a Best Bet on Louisville is the 114-75 ATS record of teams playing in their home state in the NCAA Tournament. I'll lean with Louisville at +5 points or more. My predicted total is 153 points. Xavier (+6 ½) over Ucla
UCLA is just 0-5 ATS the last 3 years as a favorite of more than 3 points in round 2 or higher of the NCAA Tournament (0-2 ATS this year) and the Bruins are up against a scrappy Xavier team that is 5-0-1 ATS in all NCAA tourney games under coach Sean Miller and 6-0 ATS under Miller as an underdog of 5 points or more. My ratings favor UCLA by just 5 points and teams seeded #3 or worse are 15-5-2 ATS as underdogs in round 4 against teams seeded #2 or better since 1995. I'll consider Xavier a Strong Opinion at +6 points or more and I'll lean with the Musketeers at +5 ½ or +5 points. My predicted total is 130 1/2 points.

I remember reading a Baseball Digest article about the trade way back when I was 9. The article quoted one manager as saying something like, "Templeton has a stronger arm than Smith. The fans behind first base know it -- that's where most of his throws end up."
Side note: How awesome was Baseball Digest back in the day?

Improve your Google Earth experience with by downloading any of a number of user-created mash-ups. We've rounded up the 10 best Google Earth add-ons that will help you see maps from centuries past or even take a virtual cruise.
Thar she blows
Have you ever noticed how weather reports for where you live always seem to be completely wrong? That's particularly problematic when the forces of nature threaten to have devastating effects. So in the true spirit of the web, a Google Earth forums user known as 'glooton' created a potentially lifesaving link that lets you check for yourself how the weather might affect you. The data displayed in Google Earth tracks the paths and positions of every major storm and hurricane across the entire planet. The data updates every 10 minutes, and enables anyone with a PC to be his or her own personal meteorologist.
Millions of photos put in place
Now that some cameras (such as Nikon's new Coolpix P6000) have built-in GPS that automatically captures data about where exactly a photo was taken, you can use one in conjunction with Google Earth and other tools to start building an entire world full of images.
Google Earth incorporates several different ways to explore traditional 'ground level' photographs of the world. But the people at Metal Toad Media have taken the entire catalogue of the Flickr photo-sharing site and implemented it as a Google Earth-compatible feed. You can see user-uploaded images of the Grand Canyon, for instance, that will have you virtually standing on the edge of a precipice. In August, Flickr boasted an incredible '3.2 million things geotagged this month', so adding its content to Google Earth brings a vast assortment of images from areas you might wish to explore.
See global warming in action
One of the most difficult challenges climatologists face is convincing some people that the problem of global warming exists. Climate data can be hard to visualise, and for many people data tables fail to communicate the scale of the problem. One solution is to use Google Earth to display data in a way that is easier to understand: The National Snow and Ice Data Center has created Google Earth files for a series of animations that represents the Arctic ice as it naturally melts over the summer months. Updated daily, they let you view the sea-ice concentrations and extent for the previous 90 days; when you compare data for this summer with the data for every summer going all the way back to 1979, you see some startling changes.

USF offense sputters in 55-44 loss to Syracuse
TAMPA, Fla. Syracuse executed its game plan of slowing down South Florida point guard Anthony Collins and the No. 7 Orange won their second straight Big East game this season.
Collins took just two shots and had five points in the Bulls' 55-44 loss to Syracuse on Sunday.
"Really, the think we emphasized was to stay in front of Collins," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "He really hurt us last year, and he got into the lane. Our guards really did a good job. When he got in there, our big guys helped out. That was the story of the game."
Collins entered averaging 10.2 points.
"Where they did a fantastic job, they really bottled up and kept Anthony Collins out of the middle," South Florida coach Stan Heath said. "He got in there a lot last year. I could really tell they made an emphasis to make sure he didn't get in there."
South Florida (9-4, 0-1) trimmed what had been an 11-point deficit to 47-42 with six minutes remaining, however the Bulls were held to one basket the rest of the way.
"We had moments where we looked very effective, and we had times where we just kind of stood around and didn't attack very well against their zone," Heath said.
Brandon Triche had 20 points and James Southerland scored 12 of his 17 in the second half to help Syracuse overcome a slow start and win its Big East road opener.
C.J. Fair had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Orange (14-1, 2-0), who won for the fourth straight time following a four-point loss to Temple.
Southerland's long 3-pointer put Syracuse up 50-42 and Triche followed with a driving layup and a pair of free throws to push the lead back to double-digits.
Victor Rudd led USF with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Jawanza Poland finished with 12 points for the Bulls, who led by 10 before Syracuse asserted themselves defensively.
In their first game since Boeheim passed Bob Knight for second place on college basketball's career wins list, the Orange fell behind by 17-7 in the opening eight minutes before going on a 23-6 run to take a 30-23 halftime lead. Triche and Fair scored 10 of the last 12 points during the stretch and Syracuse limited USF's sputtering offense to just one field goal over the final 11 minutes of the surge.
South Florida, coming off a season in which the Bulls tied the school record with 22 wins and made the NCAA tournament for the first time in 20 years, cooled after getting three highlight reel dunks from Rudd and making a trio of 3-pointers to build its early lead. Rudd had 13 points at the break, but received little support from his teammates, including Collins, who did not take a shot in the opening half.
Balanced scoring was one of the key to a four-game winning streak USF put together following a 12-point road loss to Oklahoma State on Dec. 5.
"I think they're competitive in this league," Boeheim said. "They've got really good players."

Rear brake mounted
A heap of cutting with the grinder and a quick linish. I have now got rear brakes.
Once I had the bottom bolt of the footpeg mounted, I then just worked my way up the bracket mounting all of the bits. First drill and tapped the bracket to fit the brake leaver and then I drilled the threads out of the master to make them clearence holes. Once I had these drilled out I could work out the radius of the actuating lever on the back of the brake lever and in turn align the master cylinder and drill and tap mounting threads. I have left the top mounting bolt out of the foot peg bracket because I want the pegs to be parallel with the ground when its finished, due to there being no motor the back of the bike is sitting up quite high so this will be one of the finishing touches. Using a mate mill I will be removing some excess metal to reduce some weight and in one section I will take 4mm off the surface to shift the master and the brake lever towards the center of the bike.
Build it and you will ride

Elephant Trio Escapes Missouri Circus
By editor
Originally published on Mon March 24, 2014 10:25 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
There might be an elephant in the room, or three in a parking lot. That's what circus-goers in St. Charles County, Missouri saw this weekend. A trio of elephants escaped. The trunked bandits got spooked by a loud noise and ran into the parking lot, meandering between cars and leaving a few dented. Handlers tried to corral the animals using pretzels. They finally rounded them up. The elephants, we're told, were not injured, but they were given the night off.

|Short-Hand Trope Naming Conventions
How to not get stuck on a new trope title.
K. So I took a day, gave it a thunk, and I'd like to apologize to the team here and the greater wiki for my actions. I tried to defend my position in what I saw in a reasonable matter on now established protocol, but that lead to a lot of people taking up my banner who were nowhere near as reasonable. So I got out of dodge and gave the admins a headache on Christmas Eve when they had to put out the fire I started and left behind. So, that happened and I admit that I was responsible. yay. So, I'm going to something incredibly stupid and try to try again, not hijacking someone's thread and trying to get the defensive high ground, but just as the problem we have and how I see it. That problem being, the habit of throwing out Stock Phrase names and arguing schematics about what would be the proper way to phrase it for way longer than the trope requires. We got lazy naming new tropes after Stock Phrases, and the way I see of us getting out of this is to get even lazier, take the titles we get, and come up with a rule of thumb on how to fix them instead of getting stuck in Development Hell over what to name these things. I'm personally thinking since dialog titles are normally commentary on the trope rather than the trope itself, our best bet for a patch is to try and make our titles more present tense, focusing on the trope as opposed to the fallout. Looking For The Year as opposed to What Year Is It?, Washing Your Mouth Out With Soap as opposed to Wash Your Mouth Out With Soap, and even Letting The Wookie Win instead of Let The Wookie Win. I know it's not that great at the moment, but it's what I got, and solves a little bit of the problem for a lot of the tropes instead of going case by case. Assuming it's it's totally useless, I still want to know if anyone has input on what a rule like that could be, seeing as it could be a huge boon to the wiki if we could get a quick fix to this massive issue.

The thing to note about DS9 is just how different it is to the rest of trek, it's much more focused on drawn out character building and the people coming on and off the station. The charcters can be great though, a handful like dax and ohdo are classic.
I voted and then read your question. Which is what I was going to say to backup my vote.
TNG you just finished and you should have noticed something...the first season is kinda crap. After that its good....what changed?
TNG showed us what a series needs to become good.
Riker/Frakes grew a beard.
When you see this in DS9 it gets gooooooooooood.
Babylon 5 is similar once it got out of the first series is became great. When they changed uniforms it became freaking awsome.

Deep Space Nine is fantastic and doesn't get the credit it deserves. Sisko is up there with Picard for me.
Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek series. It gets off to a slow start, sticking to the more traditional Star Trek format of telling individual stories in each episode. But once the Dominion get introduced and the story becomes more of a cohesive, flowing story, it's fantastic. It's absolutely worth sticking with. You won't regret it.
Every Trek show has a slow start with the first couple of seasons, but once the actors and writers start to get a feel for the characters, they get better fast. DS9 is no exception, and I rank it right up there with TNG. Sisko is the only other captain that rivals Picard in my mind.
Keep in mind, I'm one of those weirdos who didn't think Voyager was as bad as everyone made it out to be, so maybe I'm just "easy" or something.

Deep Space 9 is more consistently good than TNG. It may not hit some of the highest marks set by TNG, but it never quite hits the lowest lows either. Some TNG episodes are fucking painful to watch. *coughwesleycrushercough*
DS9 has the worst ending though...

DS9 is a very underrated Star Trek series.
When DS9 was airing I watched it indifferently, but I have to say I have come to appreciate the show more. It suffered from the issue that all ST shows suffer from - outdated 60s view of the world and future, but it was at least slightly more 'character driven' then most of the other shows.
I was really hoping they would reboot Star Trek before the latest movies came out, make it more realistic, more science based, etc. But now I just hope some other company makes a new show that competes with Star Trek.
I really enjoy military documentaries about people on warships...carriers, subs, etc. I think the next science fiction show that involves a crew on a ship should from the ground up be made based on the expert knowledge of navy advisers. No matter how high tech a ship becomes there is always a ship which is a mechanical device and the people or things that maintain it. The whole show should be about the lower decks and the jr. officers in charge, the Captain and XO should all be people you never see teh faces of on eh show they are just walking torsos that the people on the ship are in awe of/and fear.

Deep Space Nine is better than TNG. The characters are better. If you have a hard time getting attached to Quark and Odo, well, I don't know what to tell you.
DS9 holds up the best of any Star Trek show in my opinion. The first season is a bit iffy, but when that show gets going it's by far my favourite Star Trek show.
I highly recommend AV Club's reviews of the show (the reviews are by Star Trek fan watching the show for the first time, so there's no spoilers there). I followed those reviews when I rewatched the show a couple of months ago, both the reviews and the comments are some of the most insightful and funny examples of Star Trek fandom out there.

DS9 is by far my favorite star trek. Personally i think DS9 is SIGNIFICANTLY better than TNG.
The captain is better, the characters are better, the stories are better. It has an over arching plot. Events actually effect other episodes.
It's a shame its so underrated. Sisko > Picard.
Deep Space 9 is pretty boring until they get the Defiant and the war starts. The show does get really good about 2 seasons in.

I'd agree with the general consensus here, it's arguably the best of Star Trek. It's a bit "darker" which some fans took offensive to, but it easily has the best character development, story arcs and most consistent performances. There's some really amazing episodes too and it deals with the issues of war beyond just the "lets blow stuff up!".
In the Pale Moonlight is probably the best episode of Star Trek ever.
bajoran heavy episodes are crap, the rest of the series is great.
Wrong, and I bet you will agree with me when I say, the real crap was any episode in DS9 about the 'mirror universe'.

DS9 is my favorite because it sticks to a single storyline for a huge portion of the show rather than a 3-4 episode arc at most that you see in any of the other series. Well I guess Enterprise did it too but I only watched like 5 episodes of that one.
Anyways it's good but you should skip the mirror universe episodes because those are all fucking awful. You can probably skip most (there is one really good one that I can recall) of the O'Brien/Keiko centric episodes too. So maybe that's like 8 episodes I really didn't like over the course of the entire run.
DS9 did a great job expanding the Star Trek universe. It is definitely worth watching.
It is different than the other Trek series, except maybe Enterprise. It focuses more on an overarching plot, character development, and the underbelly of the Star Trek universe.

In the Pale Moonlight is probably the best episode of Star Trek ever.
What this guy said. Sisko was a uniquely different captain than Kirk, Picard or Janeway. Kirk was rough and tumble, Picard more cerebral and Janeway was an attempt to combine the two with mediocre results. Still, they were admirable Starfleet officers. Sisko was put in a bad situation and wasn't running around the galaxy like the others. When push came to shove he wasn't above getting his hands dirty to get things done. In the Pale Moonlight is a perfect example of this and has one of the most memorable endings of any Star Trek episode.
The final season of DS9 is a bit hit or miss, though. I enjoyed the baseball episode. It was just fun after all the tension of the previous seasons.
