RICK PERRY: I Can Help African-Americans More Than Past 3 Dem Presidents.
Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said the time has come for the Republican Party to "reclaim" its heritage as the only political party in America founded on the "principle of freedom" for African-Americans.
Perry argued that his policies could help African-Americans more than the last three Democratic administrations combined.
The former Texas governor said Republicans have emphasized their message on the 10th Amendment but not on the 14th Amendment, which Perry called "one of the great contributions of the Republican Party to American life, second only to the abolition of slavery."
"For too long we Republicans have been content to lose the black vote because we found we didn't need it to win, but when we gave up trying to win the support of African-Americans we lost our moral legitimacy as the party of Lincoln, as the party of equal opportunity for all," he said in a speech at the National Press Club.
"It is time for us to once again reclaim our heritage as the only party in our country founded on the principle of freedom for African-Americans. We know what Democrats will propose in 2016 – the same things the Democrats have proposed for decades – more government spending on more government programs," he added.
Perry said there is a "proper and an important role" for government assistance in keeping people on their feet.
"But few presidents have done more to expand government assistance than President Obama. Today, we spend nearly $1 trillion on means-tested-type poverty programs and yet black poverty remains stagnant," he said.
Perry told the audience the best welfare program in America is a job.

WHY PRETTY GIRLS HATE BEING ASKED OUT BY NERDS: "When someone asks you out on a date, they are basically saying that they think your standards are low enough to voluntarily go out with them. If the asker clearly has high dating market value himself, his advances don't indicate that he thinks you have a low dating market value. But if you get asked out on a date by someone with a low social status, and other people find out, then others might reasonably downgrade their estimate of your dating market value, especially if the person doing the asking is a shy, cautious nerd. . . . What's a girl to do if asked on a date by a smart, thoughtful, shy, low social status boy? Ideally, she would prevent others from learning about what happened, but if this proves impossible she needs to act as if what the nerd did was utterly unacceptable and so not an indication of her place in the social order. And as human brains excel at truly believing things that serve our self-interest, pretty girls politely asked out by nerds probably genuinely feel sexually harassed."

LIBERIA: 200 Reportedly Had Contact With Ebola Victim. "The World Health Organization reported Friday that nearly 200 people had been in contact with a 17-year-old in Liberia who was confirmed to have died of Ebola on June 28, the country's first Ebola case since May 9, when it had been officially declared free of the highly contagious disease. In an assessment posted on its website, the W.H.O. said that all of the contacts of the teenager were being closely monitored and that two of them had already tested positive for the virus, confirming what the Liberian health authorities had reported this week."
So if Liberia was Ebola-free, where did he get it?

LOUISE MENSCH: The railroading of Tim Hunt.
First, The Sun published a photo of Sir Tim smiling at the time, contradicting the claims he "wasn't joking" and "everybody in the room was stony-faced".
Second, it appears that members of the Royal Society's Diversity Committee, Britain's leading organisation of scientists, had slammed Sir Tim before he'd even said a word to the media.
Professor David Colquhoun, also of UCL, said: "I collected some stuff about the misogynistic Nobel prize winner on my Facebook page."
And what did he put in that thread about alleged "sexism"?
"Here you can see Tim Hunt tipping a bucket of ice water over his (very successful) wife." That's right, an Ice Bucket Challenge!
Then there's the BBC, which seems to have put words in Sir Tim's mouth. The Today show quoted him as referring to "women in the lab" and "the trouble with women". But those words were not in any audio of him they broadcast.
Did he say that? They wouldn't answer me.
"We treated Professor Hunt fairly," a BBC spokesman told me. "His words were not selectively edited to change their meaning."
Oh yeah? Then why did the show use Tim's words "I was only being honest" in TWO different places referring to two different things?
Meanwhile, the President of the European Research Council, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, went on the record in an exclusive statement to me on Friday.
He confirmed he had "the testimonies of eyewitnesses" that Tim was being ironic and praising women.
He also said that Sir Tim Hunt "actively supported" and voted for ERC pro-women science initiatives.
Jean-Pierre said Sir Tim was "keen" to talk to "young researchers, male and female" and answer all kinds of questions, which was "precisely why I chose him to accompany two women ERC grantees to attend the very special conference in Seoul." Oops!
I've asked the BBC to release the full audio of what Sir Tim said in his Today interview, and the questions he was asked.
So far they've refused to do that. If the Beeb has evidence that can clear him, they have a duty to provide it. Let's hear that entire tape.
This whole thing stinks.

THIS IS COOL: The Hermione Sails Into New York Harbor, Cannons Blazing. "On Wednesday a replica of the Hermione, the three-masted, 32-gun frigate that carried Lafayette to America in 1780 with news of his king's military support for the Americans, docked at the South Street Seaport. More than two centuries later, the crowds were smaller but the scene was still clangorous. After passing Governors Island, the Hermione sent a round of cannon blasts echoing off the buildings of Lower Manhattan before gliding into port. A band played 'Down by the Riverside' as costumed crew members scrambled from the masts for another deafening — and apparently unplanned — salute."

IF IT WERE A PILL, EVERYONE WOULD TAKE IT: Older Athletes Have a Strikingly Young Fitness Age. "Older athletes can be much younger, physically, than they are in real life, according to a new study of participants in the coming Senior Olympics. The study found that the athletes' fitness age is typically 20 years or more younger than their chronological age, providing a clear inspiration to the rest of us to get out and start moving more."

PRESS ROPED IN BY AIDES AT HILLARY EVENT: I'm not sure what the usage rights are to the photos in Daniel Halper's post at the Weekly Standard, which is also currently atop Drudge, so I don't want to embed any of them here, but if you haven't seen them yet, by all means click over. I'll wait.
OK, back? That the press went along with this with such docility tells you everything you need to know about which party they support — they are, as Glenn likes to say, Democratic operatives with bylines. If they were real journalists, or if this technique was employed a GOP presidential campaign, their first thought would be: I'm cutting the rope. Even if I don't have a knife. I'll start sawing away with car keys — or simply duck under it, just to see what happens next.
Because what happens next is a headline. One that will quickly become what former AP man Joseph Campbell calls a classic media myth that feeds upon itself: HILLARY'S GOONS HARASS JOURNALIST. JOURNALIST HAULED AWAY BY CLINTON SECURITY. I BROKE HILLARY'S PRESS BLOCKADE! A real journalist would dine out on the headline for months.
And if this was an opportunity to employ the same headlines but with Bush, Trump, Perry, Cruz or Rubio, the press would be chomping at the bits to write such a story. As Cruz told Glenn Beck on Thursday, "Nothing would make [a journalist] happier than to take your life and filet [a GOP candidate or his operatives] on the front pages."
But why go out of the way to cause bad press for one of your own?
And for the furious reaction from Twitter users from the photos of the "press lapdogs herded like sheep," Twitchy has you covered.
JACK NEELY: Was The South Ever Confederate Anyway?
The Civil War is a big bagful of ironies and paradoxes, and not a recommended study for folks who like to keep things simple. It would be a particular challenge for anyone to survive the 1860s in Knoxville and either idealize one side or demonize the other. It took a later generation, one that didn't remember the war, to glorify it.
I do want to point out something provable. Whether the Confederate flag is an irredeemably racist and oppressive symbol or not, the Confederacy is not "the South." It is not "the South now," certainly. It was not even "the South" in 1861. The conflation of the Confederacy with "the South" began, I suspect, as some tired editor's attempt to make a headline fit.
People of European and African ancestry have been living in the South for 400 years. The Confederacy lasted for four years, about 1 percent of that time. And even during that 1 percent, a large proportion of the people who lived in the South—perhaps even a majority—were skeptical of the Confederacy. . . .
The Confederacy was not universally popular, even in the South. It would be difficult to prove that as much as half the people who lived in the South in 1861 were fond of the Confederacy. Sam Houston, who grew up in East Tennessee and spent his entire life in the South—except when he was in D.C., representing Southern states in Congress—despised the Confederacy and denounced it publicly. David Glasgow Farragut and Gen. William Sanders—whose last names survive in multiple institutions in Knox County—both grew up in the South and fought against the Confederacy. Sanders, who'd spent most of his life in Kentucky and Mississippi, was killed by Confederate bullets. Several of Knoxville's fiercest Unionists, Parson W.G. Brownlow, William Rule, and Thomas Humes, were lifelong Southerners.
It might take years to do a thorough study on the subject, but judging by what we know of those who favored secessionism or the Union, here in East Tennessee at least, Confederate sympathies didn't necessarily suggest Southern roots. Many of Knoxville's notable Confederates were immigrants from Switzerland, Germany, or Ireland. John Mitchel, probably Knoxville's most nationally famous secessionist—editor of The Southern Citizen, which advocated slavery—was an Irish revolutionary Unitarian who'd spent several years in prison in Tasmania and never laid eyes on the South until 1853. J.G.M. Ramsey, the secessionist most influential locally, was from a Pennsylvania family. Father Abram Ryan, Knoxville's "Poet-Priest of the Confederacy," grew up in Maryland and Missouri, son of Irish immigrants. Thousands of New Yorkers, many of whom had never seen the South, were Confederate sympathizers.
Meanwhile, many of Knoxville's Unionists grew up in multi-generational Tennessee families. Did Southern heritage even play a role in affiliation with the Confederacy? Here in Knoxville, a demographic study might even prove the opposite. Maybe it was the people with the deepest roots here who were most skeptical of the noisy rebel bandwagon.
In any case, in 1861 more than 30 percent of Tennessee's Southerners voted against secession, against joining the Confederacy. Well over 30,000 Tennesseans took up arms against the Confederacy.
Yes, but the important point is letting low-information white Democrats feel superior.

JOHN FUND: Practice Free Speech for July 4th: Fight PC Censors.
While the current topic of debate is the Confederate flag, a much broader battle is being waged against American history itself. Increasingly, courses involving any patriotic content or history are being dumped in favor of leftist "diversity studies" or "environmental studies." Most American agree that the struggle against racism is vital, but so too is the context that the study of American history provides.
In his farewell address before he left office in 1989, Ronald Reagan presciently warned: "We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion but what's important — why the Pilgrims came here, who Jimmy Doolittle was, and what those 30 seconds over Tokyo meant. If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are. . . . I'm warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit. Let's start with some basics: more attention to American history and a greater emphasis on civic ritual." In the more than quarter century since Reagan issued his warning, the situation in schools has only gotten worse. Luckily, popular books, films, and the Internet offer an alternative way of reaching young people and passing on a fuller appreciation of America. We're no longer fighting just to get history into classrooms; we're now fighting for the right to teach history in all its complexity, not merely the PC versions of it that please sanctimonious leftists. Free speech remains a reality only if its practice is allowed, and increasingly, more and more people are letting the censors and bullies have the only say.
Punch back twice as hard.
ANDREW MORRISS LOOKS AT TAXATION through the lens of James Scott's excellent Seeing Like A State.
Scott offers four big ideas that shape his analytical framework. First, he argues that a fundamental need of a state is to make its population "legible." In essence, a legible population is one in which the relevant characteristics for state purposes are defined and known. Second, he contends that by doing so, the state changes the nature of the activities the population carries on, the culture, and the society as a whole. In other words, you get more of what you measure. Third, he attributes social engineering projects in part to what he terms "high modernist ideology," in which scientific and technical models are uncritically applied to societies, encouraging government actors to believe they can significantly change societies through administrative fiat. Fourth, when this ideology is married to a state with significant coercive power and civil society lacks the capacity to resist, the state does considerable harm by forcing an agenda on society without considering all the costs. Let's consider each.
To the ruling class, the "considerable harm" is offset by even-more-considerable opportunities for graft.

"SHIT ACADEMICS SAY," A Social-Media Experiment.
I am not an intellectual, leading expert, or public scholar. I am a rank-and-file academic with the job of balancing respectable research with acceptable teaching evaluations and sitting on enough committees to not be asked to sit on more committees. And in my spare time, I run what is arguably one of the most influential academic accounts on social media: Shit Academics Say.
Since starting the account in September of 2013, it has grown to over 122,000 followers, gaining 250 to 300 new followers daily and ranking in the top 0.1 percent across social media influence metrics such as Klout, Kred, and Followerwonk. To unpack this a bit, tweets sent from my phone while recalibrating dopamine levels on the treadmill, or waiting outside my 3-year-old's ballet class, are showing up in about 10 million Twitter streams and generating 200,000 to 300,000 profile visits a month, effectively making @AcademicsSay a bigger "social authority" on Twitter than nearly all colleges and academic publications. Not weird at all.
Although this might sound impressive, the popularity of the account is perhaps not surprising. First, academics use Twitter mainly for distraction, with tweets providing humorous details of academic content typically gaining the most exposure. Second, it is immediately apparent to new Twitter users that parody accounts like @kimkierkegaardashian, @NoToFeminism, or @SwiftOnSecurity tend to be more popular than traditional outlets — an observation that sparked an idea for how to personally connect with other academics in a not-boring way and on a scale large enough to have my procrastination count as research.
Hey, I've been making my procrastination count as research for years!
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, LEGAL EDUCATION EDITION: Is It Time To Start Shutting Down Law Schools?
This month, the American Bar Association provisionally accredited a new law school at Concordia University. More than 200 law schools are accredited in the U.S. An analysis of data from the ABA itself raises the question whether that list should be getting any longer.
Law schools exist for a lot of reasons, but a pretty important one is to prepare people to be lawyers. By that standard, a large handful of institutions seem to be failing. Last year, 10 law schools were unable to place more than 30 percent of their graduating class in permanent jobs that required passing the bar, according to ABA data. Those job numbers don't include positions that schools fund for their graduates or people who say they are starting their own practice.
At the University of Massachusetts School of Law, the American school with the worst job outcomes by this measure, just 22 percent of people who graduated in 2014 got those types of law jobs.
Ben Barton has some thoughts on this.

HOW TO TALK TO A NON-LEFTIST THE OTHER 364 DAYS A YEAR: Taking Mr. Obama's advice and planning to pitch your relatives on the many wonderful benefits of Obamacare tomorrow? What happens the other 364 days? Robert Tracinski of the Federalist offers some advice for his friends on the other side of the aisle to try breaking the ice, including — and I know this will be very difficult for many leftists — "Talk to people beneath your station:"
At a university or in an urban hipsterville neighborhood, you may think that everyone around you is on the same page ideologically. But you are almost certainly wrong. Part of the problem is that a lot of the people who differ from you on politics are the people you don't notice. They're not the professors or administrators or graduate students, or the performance artists, and baristas, and artisanal vegan sriracha curators. They are receptionists and groundskeepers and especially small business owners who run some of the stores and shops and restaurants you go to.
Some university employees might be on the right, but I'm afraid they probably won't talk to you about it. Why? Because they are afraid of losing their jobs. They are afraid that if word gets around about their retrograde views, people will show up with mattresses demanding that they be fired. At the very least, their bosses will quietly disapprove and their potential for advancement and new opportunities will shrink. Maybe they would open up if you talked to them nicely, but chances are that they just don't trust you.
The same goes for people who work at your graphic design firm in Park Slope. People respond to incentives—you'll discover this is one of the things those of us on the right believe—and your right-leaning coworkers have little incentive to advertise their heresies.
And look at it this way — if they seem a little crazy at first, remember that your side of the aisle made them that way.
LEAKED DETAILS OF OBAMATRADE: Politico has a story, "Leaked: What's in Obama's Trade Deal" that suggests it contains goodies for U.S. pharmaceutical companies:
A recent draft of the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade deal would give U.S. pharmaceutical firms unprecedented protections against competition from cheaper generic drugs, possibly transcending the patent protections in U.S. law.
POLITICO has obtained a draft copy of TPP's intellectual property chapter as it stood on May 11, at the start of the latest negotiating round in Guam. While U.S. trade officials would not confirm the authenticity of the document, they downplayed its importance, emphasizing that the terms of the deal are likely to change significantly as the talks enter their final stages. Those terms are still secret, but the public will get to see them once the twelve TPP nations reach a final agreement and President Obama seeks congressional approval. . . .
Some of the most contentious provisions involve "patent linkage," which would prevent regulators in TPP nations from approving generic drugs whenever there are any unresolved patent issues. The TPP draft would make this linkage mandatory, which could help drug companies fend off generics just by claiming an infringement. . . .
The opponents are also worried about the treaty's effect on the U.S. market, because its draft language would extend mandatory patent linkage to biologics, the next big thing in the pharmaceutical world. Biologics can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for patients with illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis B and cancer, and the first knockoffs have not yet reached pharmacies. The critics say that extending linkage to biologics—which can have hundreds of patents—would help insulate them from competition forever.
"It would be a dramatic departure from U.S. law, and it would put a real crimp in the ability of less expensive drugs to get to market," said K.J. Hertz, a lobbyist for AARP. "People are going to look at this very closely in Congress."
Well, it's good to know President Obama is making good on his goal of prioritizing the concerns of the middle class. No wonder establishment GOP types supported Obamatrade.
TAMARA KEEL REVIEWS the Walther CCP 9 mm.

STEPHEN CARTER: When Law Students Distrust The Police. "And here a peculiarly ironic dissonance arises. My students, for the most part, are a liberal bunch. That makes them, among other things, enthusiasts of the regulatory state. But if they increasingly mistrust the police, it's hard to know who's supposed to enforce all the shiny new laws they hope to enact."
FINALLY, A CANDIDATE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE MEDIA: "I actually stopped him and I said, 'You know what? No, she's not [nice]. She wants to destroy you. Nothing would make her happier than to take your life and filet you on the front pages. And don't think for a minute that because she smiles and is friendly to you, that it's anything else.'"

ANDREW MICHTA: Grexit May Be Europe's Teaching Moment: The unfolding Greek tragedy is about more than economics. It's also about the EU's democracy deficit.
The European idea of a common market expanding into a larger community of nations remains as valid today as it was in the 1950s. Trade, cross-investment, and the sharing of resources for infrastructure projects, insofar as they benefit economic growth, are all part of the manifest successes of the original vision of a European community. Still, the EU as it is presently conceived has produced more than its share of hubris and bad ideas, beyond the notion of bringing Greece into the Eurozone. The partial de-nationalization of the state and the partial limits on state sovereignty in the name of peace still lie at the foundation of the original European project, but they have since given way, especially since the end of the Cold War, to a European bureaucratic fantasy of what should constitute the "Union." The idea of a common market has been knocked out from its central place by the vision of a pan-European quasi-state entity, whose workings few in Europe understand, and which, most importantly, has consistently failed to generate a new Europe-wide identity in place of national allegiances. This is not just a Greek problem; bureaucratic empire building has its limits, and we call those limits "citizens." The stirrings across Europe, from the United Kingdom through Spain to Poland, show that the issues at hand are not purely economic, and that traditional national identity, citizen participation and sovereignty remain just as relevant to democracy today as they were in years past.
The Common Market was about free trade. The EU was about creating an economic – and, especially, political — counterweight to America. It was a venture that put politics ahead of economics, which explains its current problems.

What is ailing this vital guardian of national security? The CIA's upper echelon, Mr. Brennan said on Tuesday, does "not reflect the diversity of the Agency workforce or of the nation."
Mr. Brennan was commenting on the "Director's Diversity in Leadership Study," an unclassified report released that day. The study comes to the "unequivocal conclusion," he said in a statement, that there has been a major failure at the agency in the "crucial" area of diversity and inclusiveness. . . .
The report is unsparing. Senior positions at the "highest levels of the CIA" are "consistently occupied by white male career officers." While minority officers make up 23.9% of the CIA workforce, the higher echelons of the CIA don't come close to that number. For example, the Senior Intelligence Service, the crème de la crème of the spy agency's personnel, manages only a 10.8% minority composition. Spies with disabilities and LGBT spies, according to the report, are no better represented in the CIA's upper leadership, though women are generally faring well.
Yeah, I was just thinking to myself the other day, "Why, oh why, aren't there more disabled and LGBT spies?" And of course there's only one logical answer (at least to the Obama Administration): discrimination.
The solution? For one thing, "all leaders, managers, and supervisors" in the CIA should be subject to "mandatory stand-alone diversity and inclusion training." This must include such "well-established tools" as "unconscious bias training" so that all CIA officers can "learn how societal forces and their own experiences mold their daily decisions and perceptions."
I'm glad my tax dollars are now going to go toward remedying this atrocity. Because, you know, how on earth can we gather reliable intelligence if we don't have enough transgendered or gay spies? They will be particularly useful in our efforts to infiltrate ISIS, I'm sure.

In so doing, he created a public market for the selling of American citizens—and raised the price on their heads considerably."

PANAMA CITY— Florida's refusal to expand Medicaid under the new health care law will adversely impact BayMedical Center Sacred Heart Health System's operations and profitability, officials said Wednesday during a roundtable discussion with local media.
BayMed just finished a year in the red and will take another lump from the federal sequester cuts, but now it must contend with the uncertainty of Medicaid expansion. Though Gov. Rick Scott supports the measure, House and Senate select committees have voted against expansion and the majority party's leadership supports the decision.
Paul Kappelman, division president of LHP, one of two joint venture partners running the hospital, is holding out hope, though.
"I think the Legislature will come along [and expand Medicaid], but it's going to take some work because there are a lot of people who believe doing this is supporting health care reform and Obamacare," he said.
Floridalikely will employ a model similar to Arkansas where the state would use federal money to purchase private health insurance for uninsured residents, officials said. Under that plan, fewer people would be covered than full-blown expansion, but it would be better than nothing for a hospital that provides about $27 million a year in uncompensated care.
"Obviously for the hospitals in Florida and the hospitals in Bay County, it is a major deal for us to get Medicaid expansion," Kappelman said.
Right now, Bay Med and the rest of Florida's hospitals are in limbo, awaiting a decision, and while they wait, they'll weather a tough 2013. It will be a "really challenging year" due to cuts to pay for the health-care law and cuts from sequestration, Kappelman said.
"Health care and defense were the two major areas hit," he said of sequester cuts.
The largest impact is from a 2 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursements, which translates into a $1.5 million a year funding loss for the hospital.
"We've got to tighten our belts for 2013 and beyond and prepare for these cuts," Kappelman said.
The federally imposed cuts are unavoidable, but the hospital must operate more efficiently or generate additional revenue if it wants to avoid more years in the red. A big help would be for the Legislature to make a decision on Medicaid expansion or its alternative by 2014. If no decision is made and things stay in limbo, Bay Med would see a negative multimillion dollar impact.
"We're already caring for those patients; we're not receiving any money for it," said Jan Offret, Bay Med's interim CEO.
Offret said many of these "self-pay" — or can't pay — patients would receive coverage through Medicaid expansion or state-purchased private insurance for the uninsured.
Offret said getting federal money to insure more people in the state is a win-win; about 1 million more Floridians would get coverage and hospitals would be paid for their services. Medicaid payments from the state cover about 65 percent of the actual cost of service.

How To Check Your Global Google SERPs Efficiently
Credit: MirkoGarufi
Although Search Engine People has a fair share of Canadian based clientele, we also service the needs of many firms that are located overseas, and often more than half way across the globe. With Local SEO becoming more and more prominent, it's imperative that we track SERP rankings not only on Google (dot) Com but also on regional Google search engines. Obtaining reporting on natural search results across different geographies can be tedious and time consuming, especially when a particular client receives a significant portion of referral traffic from different regional Google search engines. However where there is a will, there is a way and with so many bright minds in the Search Marketing industry, a solution to 'optimize' the quandary couldn't have been far away.
Go Global With Google The Smart Way
I'm a big fan of optimizing everyday processes, and when I learned of Firefox extension that would help me obtain reporting on Google regional search results, I leapt for joy ( yes, that's how geeky I am ). The Google Global Firefox plugin integrates very nicely with the plethora of other Firefox SEO extensions I've installed, and for the most part operates perfectly as expected. Dave Davis from RedFlyMarketing has certainly made my life easier, and more enjoyable! Here's his description of what the Google Global Firefox extension does:
Google Global is an unobtrusive Firefox extension that allows you to see what the Google search results that you are viewing look like from different geographical locations. This is very useful if you want to compare organic search results in different countries or if you want to see how your AdWords PPC campaigns appear in different regions.
What The Goods Looks Like
As you can see from the screen shot above, you can easily shave off valuable seconds from your search rituals using this extension. Since it's a feature I'd be using a fair bit to track my client keyword SERPs, I've taken the time to create a customized button on my navigation bar that lets me select the regional search engine I want to target fairly easily.
Check Up on Your PPC Like a Pro
Aside from the obvious SEO application, the Google Global extension is an invaluable tool for looking up paid placement positions if a PPC campaign is being targeted in several countries. I know we all like video more than words, so check out Vittorio's video tutorial on how to do install and check up on your Adwords placements.
Now that was easy! Check out Dave Davis' RedFlyMarketing blog to download the Google Global Firefox Extension and read more about Dave's unique PPC marketing tips and tricks.

Thanks for the mention Dev, much appreciated. (stumbled and sphunn ;))
If there are any features you think the extension needs, please let me know and I will certainly add it to the roadmap.
I recommend you use seodigger.com for keyword tracking, just trace your best competitors
keywords and positions in SERP, they've done all the work allready :-).
And try SeoQuake, seo toolbar. It can analyze anything you may need including keyword density on a page. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3036/ – for Firefox. seoquake.com – for IE.
I've found it just as easy to just add things like &gl=us &gl=ca to my Google results URL. I do have that firefox extension installed, but I just find using the keyboard quicker. Cheers.
Do the organic results from other countries actually match what people in those countries would see? The last time I read about the gl parameter, it seemed that it only affected the ads and not the organic results.
I tried to add this to my VISTA and latest Firefox, and no plugins show up. In fact, none of my firefox extensions work. Is this a problem with your control (probably not) – or VISTA w/Firefox?
I use Vista 32bit & 64bit with Firefox and extensions with no issues Cheers.
GL definitely changes the SERPs. I don't think it affects ADs at all, those are actual physical location. This is just a parameter for overriding SERPs. Cheers.
@ JohnnyBoy – I've installed extension on Vista w/Firefox without any problems so far. I've also tested it on Windows XP and haven't had any problems either. Have you tried right-clicking after you have done a google search and selected the global search function from your menu?
@ Marios – I'm inclined to believe it does and I'm confirming with a friend of mine in Brazil right now. Yes, it works for organic results
Just a follow-up to my question about the GL parameter. Here's the Search Engine Land article that suggests the parameter affects ONLY ads.
Maybe the functionality has changed since the article was published?
Here is a good experiment. Google the term SEO Services, then add &gl=us and &gl=ca to your URL and you'll definitely see a difference in the SERPs.
Yes, I have tried to install other extensions, including seobook tool and others. I think it may be a virus protection issue or something. I'll check further – since none of my plugins are working. I use the web developer plugin (must have!) – and that one doesn't work either.. hmm…
@ Jonnyboy – Good luck with getting the plugin to work. Cheers — Dev
Great extension. Very helpful.

Family Secrets
Filed Under: Health & Science, Music & Film | Posted: 03/15/2009 at 5:50PM
Comments | Region: United States
It would appear that families are what they seem, but most often they are not. Every family has secrets that greatly impact its emotional health and personality. A family could have witnessed or experienced a trauma, and it was simply never talked about again because there had been an unspoken vow of silence. Some family secrets are generational, and others victimize someone in the family. The secret could be about something legal or reflect a law that was broken. Some feelings are repressed, consciously or unconsciously, while others are acted out by the children in a family for generations. Very little research has been done on the dynamics or long-term effects of family secrets.
When something traumatic happens in a family, either consciously or unconsciously, it affects the rest of the family. If the affected family members are not "debriefed" after the incident and allowed to openly express their feelings about it, depending upon its severity, the incident could affect the family members for as long as they live. It could even be passed on to future generations.
When a child's feelings about an event are not validated or are discounted, it can cause a split in the child's psyche, and he will have difficulty connecting with those feelings. He may even be unable to connect with parts of his body.
We act out behaviors and do not think that they point to something else. These behaviors, though, are very significant. They reveal our own inconsistencies and become an element in generational patterns. Often these behaviors reflect a child's enmeshment in his parent(s)' pain and are the child's attempt to "fix" the parent(s)' unresolved issues. In taking on this burden, however, the child pays a price: He becomes angry. To cope with his anger, he creates a fantasy of the "perfect" parent and looks for this "perfect" person to connect with when he reaches adulthood. The relationship with his fantasy (incarnate) is euphoric and intense in the beginning. But, later, when the person sees his fantasy's humanness, he becomes disillusioned and moves on to the next fantasy mate, and the cycle repeats itself many times.
Still the person does not know what is wrong. His denial is an ego defense that prevents his fragile self from knowing its own secrets. The problem is that the very thing that saves him early on becomes his operant principle later in life. This is why sometimes people do the same things over and over again and what accounts for destructive life patterns. In choosing the same kind of "fantasy" person again and again, it is the wounded person's attempt at working out the "emotional incest" that was foisted upon him as a child by his parents.
To complicate things even more, a family secret may create a cross-generational bond or triangle. Say there is a bad marriage, and the parents project this onto the child. He becomes the "secret bearer," the one who tries to "fix" the family secret. He may become defiant or act out in some way to become the family "scapegoat" and take all eyes off the marriage and onto the child who needs to be made right. He has fulfilled his family role of "fixing" his parents' broken marriage by causing them to work together on a common problem: him.
Birth order has a lot to do with what role a child might assume, be it "hero," "scapegoat," or "lost child."
"A child can be a metaphor of generations in a family that has lots and lots of unresolved issues." (John Bradshaaw, Ph.D.)
Therefore, it would prove beneficial for anyone to look to his family history to correct his inconsistent or incongruous behaviors. This can only be done by finding out exactly where he fits into the family. He needs to talk to family members to discover if there are secrets or damaging familial dynamics that have never been exposed to the light of day. The more people he talks to, the more valuable information he will be able to glean.
Can you imagine how much better off we would all be if we could learn why we are the way we are? We could repair the damage done by our parents, their parents, and their parents' parents. We could discover the root of our problems. We could understand why some of us possess such a need to control, why family members abuse each other, and why some of us are so compulsive and complicated. Adult children abused in childhood would be less likely to abuse their own children, and we would no longer evaluate ourselves against our generative secrets.
I will end with a quote by John Bradshaw on family systems and their importance because it sums up his message:

Spicy horseradish cream and malty Guinness mustard amp up the flavor of this home-corned beef. You might need to special-order the brisket from your butcher, and you'll have to start brining the meat eight days before you cook and serve it. The Insta Cure No. 1 is optional, but it's nice to use because it gives the meat its traditional pink color. Save the leftover corned beef and vegetables for the sandwiches and hash.
YIELD: Makes 6 to 8 servings
For brine:
Pour 6 cups water and beer into large deep roasting pan. Add coarse salt; stir until dissolved. Add sugar; stir until dissolved. If desired, stir in Insta Cure No. 1. Mix in pickling spices. Pierce brisket all over with tip of small sharp knife. Submerge brisket in liquid, then top with heavy platter to weigh down. Cover and refrigerate 4 days.
Remove brisket from brine. Stir liquid to blend. Return brisket to brine; top with heavy platter. Cover; refrigerate 4 days. Remove brisket from brine. Rinse with cold running water. do ahead Can be made 2 days ahead. Wrap corned beef in plastic, cover with foil, and refrigerate.
For corned beef and vegetables:
Place corned beef in very large wide pot. Add stout and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Wrap cheesecloth around bay leaves, coriander seeds, allspice, and chile, enclosing completely, and tie with kitchen string to secure. Add spice bag to pot with beef; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until beef is tender, about 2 1/4 hours. Transfer beef to large baking sheet.
Add turnips and all remaining vegetables to liquid in pot; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until all vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to baking sheet with beef. Return beef to pot and rewarm 5 minutes. Discard spice bag.
Cut beef against grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange beef and vegetables on platter. Serve with Horseradish Cream and Guinness Mustard.
*Insta Cure No. 1 is a mixture of sodium nitrate and salt that is used in cured and smoked sausages to prevent botulism. In this brine, its only purpose is to prevent the meat from turning gray, so you can certainly leave it out. You'll find Insta Cure No. 1 at sausagemaker.com.
**A thin, red, very hot three-inch-long chile; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

Matt Hasselbeck cut by Titans, but nearing deal with Colts - report
Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was released by the Tennessee Titans Monday, but he may have already found a new home. USA Today reports the NFL veteran is nearing a deal with the Indianapolis Colts to act as starting quarterback Andrew Luck's backup.
Last season Hasselbeck only played in eight games for the Titans, five as a starter when quarterback Jake Locker was injured. With Locker continuing on as the Titans' starting QB, the team was looking to restructure Hasselbeck's contract, which would have payed $5.5 million for the 2013 season. The team and Hasselbeck's agent were unable to come to an agreement, though.
In a statement from the team, Titans general manager Ruston Webster thanks Hasselbeck for his contributions, saying, "He was an important part of the transition process - he was a pro at every turn and he provided an example to the rest of the team." Hasselbeck has played 15 seasons in the NFL, ten of those as a member of the Seattle Seahawks.
Matt's sister-in-law, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, is facing a bit of career uncertainty herself. Reports have persisted that she will soon leave her job as co-host of "The View."

A Florida teenager faces criminal charges stemming from her relationship with another young female student.
Kaitlyn Hunt, 18, faces two felony counts of "lewd and lascivious battery on a child 12 to 16" after the parents of her 15-year-old girlfriend pressed charges earlier this year, according to Examiner.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by CBS affiliate WTSP, the girls began dating in November 2012, when Kaitlyn Hunt was 18 and the other girl was 14.
Its interesting how much my opinion of this case changes based on the picture I see of Kaitlyn (not that I'm proud of that fact or anything...). Goes to show the subtleties of media spin.

Other information revealed includes this quote: "Due to compatibility issues and other technical limitations, we do not have any plans to make Grand Theft Auto III or Vice City available on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace." Bummer. Now on to the (very limited) new information about GTA V.
Rockstar said that the game development is going well, but that it is a "huge project." The developers promise new information soon. They then acknowledged and apologized for the lack of information given to fans during the long development times for their games:
"As we have said before, we have often had long gaps between asset releases on previous games and will continue to do so in the future. We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don't do this because we 'don't care about our fans' 'don't respect our fans' 'hate GTA fans etc' – precisely the opposite! We do it because we want to make sure we only release 100% correct information, and because we want to keep plenty back for the actual game release so there are still lots of surprises when you play it. The only things we care about are that you enjoy the experience of actually playing the game and that we release accurate information. We just have not been in a position to show more of the game than the trailer and will not be for a while yet."
Rockstar also urged fans to be wary of any information (rumors, leaks, or supposed legitimate content) that doesn't come directly from them, especially any beta invitations as there will be no beta for GTA V.

These neutral colours aren't just a trend; the five classic hues are ones to swear by when looking for that timeless tone. The first four prove that "white paint" isn't just "white paint," and the last, a rich teal blue, challenges the notion of neutral.

The Canon S100 is a small camera but unlike my Sony TX10 it is not quite small enough to fit in a pocket. It is also not waterproof or dustproof, so a case seemed in order. I made a test with the fabric from James' trench coat and then made the real one in Goretex (left over from James' waterproof trousers). The case is lined with fleece (left over from my blue hoody jacket) and the closure is velcro. It is basically just a rectangle with a lid. The lid has little gussets on the side for extra water protection. It hasn't yet been up in the mountains but I found the case very convenient, and the S100 really became a take everywhere camera as a result.

'Hitchcock' star Anthony Hopkins calls 'Psycho' shower scene 'the most frightening thing I've ever seen'
One of the most iconic moments in cinema history is the shower scene murder in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 thriller "Psycho." Anthony Hopkins, the star of the upcoming biopic "Hitchcock," remembers the moment he first saw the film's clever twist on classic Hollywood films when it killed off its leading lady halfway through the movie in that scene.
"I saw it in a movie theater in September 1960 on a dark Sunday afternoon in Manchester," Hopkins tells MTV News. "The scene in the shower was the most frightening thing I've ever seen. And the whole audience was under the seat, myself included, because we didn't know what to expect."
Fans will get to see the story behind how and why Hitchcock and his wife Alma decided to shoot that scene in "Hitchcock." It's due in theaters on Nov. 23, but for now just satisfy yourself with watching Scarlett Johansson's take on Janet Leigh's iconic scream.

In practice, literate programming is achieved by combining human-readable documentation and machine-readable source code into a single source file, in order to maintain close correspondence between documentation and source code. The order and structure of this source file are specifically designed to aid human comprehension: code and documentation together are organized in logical and/or hierarchical order (typically according to a scheme that accommodates detailed explanations and commentary as necessary). At the same time, the structure and format of the source files accommodate external utilities that generate program documentation and/or extract the machine-readable code from the same source file(s) (e. g., for subsequent processing by compilers or interpreters). The relevance of literate programming has been reduced a bit by features such as syntax highlighting in later programming environments.
The complete commented TeX source code was published in Knuth's TeX: The program, volume B of his 5-volume Computers and Typesetting. Knuth had privately used a literate programming system called DOC as early as 1979; he was inspired by the ideas of Pierre Arnoul de Marneffe. The free CWEB, written by Knuth and Silvio Levy, is WEB adapted for C and C++, runs on most operating systems and can produce TeX and PDF documentation. Other implementations of the concept are noweb and FunnelWeb, both of which are independent of the programming language of the source code.
The Leo text editor supports optional noweb and CWEB markup.
The Haskell programming language has native support for literate programming, inspired by CWEB but with a simpler implementation. When aiming for TeX output, one writes a plain LaTeX file where source code is marked by a given surrounding environment; LaTeX can be set up to handle that environment, while the Haskell compiler looks for the right markers to identify Haskell statements to compile, removing the TeX documentation as if they were comments. Haskell's functional, modular nature makes literate programming directly in the language sensible, making a separate code generation pass unnecessary (compare WEB's TANGLE pass that generates imperative Pascal code). This is made possible by Haskell's declarative, purely functional, lazy semantics: arbitrary sections of code can be factored into separate functions and documented as separate conceptual units, without changing the semantics of the compiled program.
Perl also supports literate programming using Plain Old Documentation or POD to combine human readable documentation and basic formatting with source code. This embedded documentation is also commonly parsed from the code into other formats, including HTML or LaTeX.

What is the best way to send and receive QSL cards? Is it okay to send out a card by just putting a stamp on it and dropping it the mailbox? I have been sending mine out this way, but most reply cards I get are sent in envelopes. It costs a lot more money to send them that way, so why do most people do it like that?
Also, now that I am working DX, what is the best way to handle cards to foreign countries?
Thanks for your help!

The definition of a portrait to me is "a picture that tells something about someone". A picture that just show how someone looks isn't good enough for me. I want to visualise something of the character of the person in front of my lens. It's hard enough to capture someone's main character features but whenever possible I like to dig a little deeper and get through the first layer of someone's personality. Most people like to put other people into general categories: "he's a funny guy", "she's a shy girl", "that's a very serious man", … But I believe every interesting personality is much more complex than just that one stand-out character feature. Even the most serious person, can laugh his ass off and even the most careless girl, has a serious side, …
It's not always easy to break through that superficial layer. In fact, it's usually hard work and I can only achieve that goal if the person on the other side is willing to open up to me. I try to create the right atmosphere and conditions for this but in the end only the sitter can make the decision to let down his/her guard.
A while ago I photographed this young woman. It isn't much of a challenge to make a pleasing picture of such a classic beauty. But the real challenge became clear when she told me that she was tired of her nice-girl image. It's not that she isn't a nice girl. She was very pleasant to work with and didn't even complain when it got freaky cold on location. She didn't seem to mind that people saw her as the nice girl, but I felt like she also wanted to show more sides of her personality. So that became my quest for this portrait session.
My first idea was to try to focus on woman rather than the girl. Despite the nerves from being in front of the camera for the first time, I got a lot of attitude and subtle expressions back.
Most photography books will tell you to stay out of a person's comfort zone but it's advice that I often disregard. Sure, you have to build up to it but when you start shooting someone from a close distance they have only two options: put up a wall in front of them or open up. It's my job to make sure they choose the second option. I guess it's about making people feel comfortable outside their comfort zone. But all credit goes to D for having the guts to step out of that comfort zone.
To dial up the attitude I was lucky enough to have an incredible make-up artist on this shoot. The wild hair and powerful make-up, made it easy on D to show her wilder side. A good make-up artist doesn't change people, but brings out a different side of their personality.
The last rays of sunlight where no match for the cold wind sweeping over our location. But before calling it a day we did one last set of pictures. And it was then, after the very first frame, that I knew I achieved my goal of showing a different side of D.

Is Illuminati Real? - Illuminati Facts
So you ask the question; "Is illuminati real?". Well apparently there is too much proof that the illuminati is indeed definitely VERY REAL! Did you know that you can type "illuminati" backwards, add the ".com" and you will end up on a government site called NSA.GOV? If you don't believe me, then just try it out for yourself! That's just way too much of a coincidence for the government to have such a domain name for their site!
ILLUMINATI, just mentioning Illuminati is the cause of much discussion. Either a person is convinced of an Illuminati plot to control the world, or they vehemently deny the existence altogether. Either side your opinion lies, discussion of The Illuminati can be fascinating.
Illuminati, the word itself is supposed to mean those who have become Spiritually Enlightened, or make claims to that affect. Even today there are those Intellectually Pretentious people who consider themselves to be part of an Elite Race of Wise Men.
There has always been people that believed that a Higher State of Awareness can be achieved through Meditation, linking oneself not only to God but to the very Universe itself.
There are also warnings of the "left hand path" or trying to attain enlightenment simply for the power available on this path. Supposedly this path will provide paranormal abilities that can be used to obtain wealth and power.
Those that study Kundalini Energy believe that the power rises from the base of the Spine Chakra and rises up to the Crown Chakra,enabling total enlightenment. It might be coincidence that the 33rd level of Freemasonry is the highest level that can be achieved in that Secret Society. There are also 33 vertebrae in the human body.
Info found: What Is The ILLUMINATI? Are They Real? Does The Illuminati Control The World? What Is The History Of The Illuminati?
So as you can see, the illuminati is definitely real and you won't have to as "Is illuminati real?" anymore.Please feel free to leave your comments below and state your honest opinions.

Tiverton Town skipper Paul Kendall vows to improve discipline
Posted: January 08, 2013|
Tiverton Town skipper Paul Kendall has vowed not to miss any more games through suspension for the rest of the season.
Kendall was forced to watch the Yellows labour to a 1-1 Evo-Stik League Southern draw at home to Bishop's Cleeve last Saturday as he completed a two-match suspension.
Mark Saunders' men could have done with Kendall's defensive qualities at Ladysmead, as they relinquished the lead just three minutes after going ahead through substitute Jules Emati-Emati.
The former Bideford and Plymouth Argyle player – who joined Tiverton in the summer of 2011 and has gone on to form a fine understanding with fellow centre-back Tom Gardner – insisted he has learnt his lesson after a frustrating stint on the sidelines.
"I was gutted to miss the game," Kendall said of last Saturday's draw. "That is the last game I want to miss between now and the end of the season because of being suspended.
"It was just one of those things. I'm back now for next Saturday and I just want to get playing.
"I just need to get back to running the games. I've missed more than a month now because of the weather. It has been at least four weeks off football, so I can't wait to get back.
"I like being captain – I like shouting and getting on the referee's back a bit – but I need to stop that now because it is just going to cost me. That's two games now so I just have to get back on it.
"I'm praying Yate goes ahead [on Saturday] because, if it doesn't, then that's another week missing and I just want to get playing."
Kendall's superb form since joining Tiverton has been a crucial factor in the Devon club's push for a Division One South and West play-offs place. But that seemed a long way away for the former Argyle apprentice after he suffered a broken leg playing for Bideford back in 2010 – ironically, against Tiverton.
But, after taking some time to recover match-fitness, he has gone from strength to strength in the Yellows' back-line, becoming a lynchpin in a mean defence.
Kendall thanked Saunders for sticking by him as he regained form and fitness.
"I'm feeling really good and am the fittest I have been for a while," he said. "I've got a lot better and the manager has stuck by me from the start and I just feel I am getting to my potential and where I should be at.
"When I came back from my broken leg, I was 15 stone and that's big. I then got it down to 14 and now I'm feeling even fitter – probably the fittest I have been in a few years."

From the Playbill
So what do William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce and Tom Stoppard have in common? A love of words, words, words. And for this, we speakers of the English tongue should be immensely grateful.
Their love for our language has manifested itself in a witty and whimsical playfulness that can be shocking and occasionally even off-putting. Wilde's contradictory epigrams, Joyce's fondness for the Irish limerick, and Stoppard's puns and word games are occasionally jejune, but a testament to the extreme range of their fulsome command of language, not unlike the Bard.
Like Shakespeare, Stoppard asks a lot of questions in this play. What is art? How does memory shape reality? Where do the lines between fact and fiction blur? Like Shakespeare, Stoppard is always showing us different sides of an issue, differing perspectives of the same "facts."
Travesties is inspired by the movements that have shaped modern art: Dadaism, Surrealism, and Cubism. Like a Duchamp painting, Travesties is full of change and movement, reaching for a reality beyond realism, for a new dimension.
As with a Shakespeare play, we need to go along for the ride, give in to the poetry, and not try to understand every thought as it washes over us. As with a Shakespeare play, there is almost endless enjoyment to be had from close textual study – but a complete understanding (could such a thing exist) is not essential to our enjoyment of the work as a piece of live theatre.
-- Robert S. Currier

Bypass surgery, or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, often pronounced "cabbage"), is a treatment for coronary artery disease and is one of the most commonly performed open heart surgeries. In this procedure, a vein from your leg — or an artery from your chest wall or arm — is used to bypass a coronary artery that is narrowed or blocked by fatty plaque buildup. Because a surgeon can perform several bypasses during a single surgery, CABG is often a good option for people with narrowing or blockage in several coronary arteries. CABG is also a good option for people with severe angina or severe narrowing in the left main coronary artery, or for people whose arteries have re-narrowed after cath lab procedures.
Bypass surgery is performed in the cardiovascular operating room (also called the CV OR) by a cardiothoracic surgeon and the OR team. Immediately after surgery, patients recover in the Thoracic Intensive Care Unit, a 24-bed unit directly adjacent to the cardiovascular operating room.
If you have questions please call us: 801-507-4701.
Our Cardiothoracic Surgery Program provides all surgeries that are clinically available in the United States – along with high volumes and excellent outcomes.

Does Jenelle Evans Look Better Before or After Her Boob Job? (PHOTOS)
Teen Mom 2 Season 4 is full of surprises so far, but one of the most shocking moments was seeing Jenelle Evans with a noticeably smaller chest. It's no secret that Jenelle got breast implants in the spring of 2012, but we forgot how much different she looked before. Girlfriend went from a small A cup to a medium C — a big change for someone just over 5 feet tall!
Teen Mom 2 is filmed more than a year in advance, which means we'll likely see Jenelle Evans go under the knife in an upcoming episode. "Yes had the crew there," she tweeted after her surgery on May 2.
The infamous ex Kieffer Delp was also in attendance. "Thank u so much @confidence117k for being there for me today and everyday. :) u r always there when I need the most !!!" she said. Too bad he sold her out less than a week later when he released nudie pics of her hot new bod. Womp.
Above is a photo of Jenelle before and after her boob job. Our girl's lady lumps tripled in size overnight, boosting her confidence and giving her a curvier figure, but is she hotter now?
We're happy as long as Jenelle is happy, but you tell us: Does Jenelle look better before or after her boob job? Weigh in below.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Freshman Ferg Myrick (Philadelphia, Pa.) scored a career-high 11 points, but the University of New Hampshire lost a defensive struggle to the University of Pittsburgh, 47-32, Friday night at the Petersen Events Center.
The Wildcats fall to 2-3 on the season, while the Big East's Panthers improve to 7-1. Pitt now leads the series 2-0 after also winning the first meeting, 53-38, at Petersen in 2003. UNH held Pitt to its lowest scoring output since March 10, 2007 when Georgetown only allowed 42 points in a 65-42 win against the Panthers in the Big East title game at Madison Square Garden.
Myrick, UNH's America East Player of the Game, scored his points on 5 of 8 shooting, including 1 of 1 from behind the arc, in a career-high 18 minutes. Juniors Tyrone Conley (Burlington, Vt.) and Dane DiLiegro (Lexington, Mass.) chipped in with eight and six points, respectively, for the Wildcats, while DiLiegro grabbed eight boards and sophomore Russell Graham (Norristown, Pa.) handed out three assists.
After senior Radar Onguetou (Yaounde, Cameroon) knocked down a 3-pointer and junior Alvin Abreu (Lynn, Mass.) sank a jumper, UNH led 5-0 with 16:21 remaining in the opening half. Pitt scored its first points on a pair of free throws from Ashton Gibbs at 14:49, and made its first field goal at 13:23 when Brad Wanamaker's jumper made it 5-4.
Myrick's layup put UNH's lead back to three, but Wanamaker hit another jumper and then added a free throw to tie the game at seven with just under eight minutes to play. The Panthers seized the lead for good with a pair of free throws from Chase Adams at 4:30 before Gibbs scored the final six points of the half to cap an 11-0 run that gave Pitt a 15-7 lead at the break.
ESPN reported that the 22 combined points were the fewest in a first half of a Division I game since the shot clock era began in 1985 - when there was a 45-second clock, rather than the 35-second clock that was adopted in 1993. The teams broke the previous record held by Mississippi (15 points) and South Carolina (13 points), which combined for 28 points on Jan. 8, 2003. South Carolina ended up winning 55-49.
Conley opened the second half with a 3 from the left wing at 18:24 to cut UNH's deficit to five. Pitt still led by five, 19-14, exactly two minutes later when it went on a 12-3 run - with seven points from Gibbs and five from Wanamaker - to take a 31-17 advantage midway through the half.
Myrick then converted consecutive baskets, and after a Dwight Miller free throw, junior James Valladares (Kaufman, Texas) grabbed an offensive rebound and put the ball back to make it 32-23 with 7:17 to play. The Panthers then reeled off a 15-4 run to open its lead up to 18 (45-27) with just under two minutes to play before a DiLiegro dunk and Myrick's trey cut it to 13 with a minute to play. Gibbs capped the scoring with a jumper that made it 47-32 with 34 seconds left.
Pitt outshot UNH, 40.5 percent (17-42) to 23.5 percent (12-51), and held a 36-31 edge on the glass, but the Wildcats outscored Pitt in the paint, 14-10, and turned the ball over 14 times, while forcing 16 Pitt turnovers.
Gibbs led the Panthers with a career-best 23 points and Wanamaker netted a career-high 19 as the two combined for 42 of Pitt's 47 points.
The Wildcats return to action Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. when they play host to Central Connecticut State University at Lundholm Gymnasium.
