The latest news, notes and analysis on the Marquette men's basketball team
Enjoying the victory and moving on
It wasn't long after the Golden Eagles' victory over Wisconsin on Saturday in Madison that they began to turn their attention to the Washington Huskies who they will play Tuesday in New York.
"It's a quick turnaround," said coach Buzz Williams.
Marquette had a practice scheduled for Sunday, will practice on Monday at 5:48 a.m., and will then travel to New York after the players get done with classes on Monday.
"We have a two-day-before-game routine, we have a one-day-before-game routine, and we have a day-of-game-routine," said Williams. "Normally, there's a third day in there or a fourth day in there and that routine is all pertaining to us.
"But now, when we wake up (Sunday), it's a two-day-before-game routine."
Williams said that the coaches who were in charge of scouting Washington would pass along that information to him when the team got back to Milwaukee after the Wisconsin game and then Williams would start going through it Saturday night. Then, the team would shift into its two-day-before-game routine on Sunday.
The players were given some time to enjoy the victory Saturday night and what they might have found most satisfying was that Wisconsin's point total (54), shooting (32.0%) and three-point shooting (26.3%) were all season lows.
And, that they had been able to win without suspended point guard Junior Cadougan, with Jae Crowder (two points, three rebounds) having an off-game, and despite 38.3% shooting.
"It was a big win and I'm glad we were able to pull it out," said guard Darius Johnson-Odom. "Both teams didn't shoot well from the floor. We didn't lose our composure at the end. We found a way to get stops."
Said Vander Blue, "We can't be satisfied. We have Washington on Tuesday in New York. But obviously it was a big win."

Q. How do I start new plants from an existing Christmas cactus?
A. This holiday favorite is easy to start from cuttings. Simply remove a piece of stem at the pinched area, technically known as the node. Make the cutting one or two, no more than three sections long for best results. Allow the cut end to callus over for a day or two. Then stick the cut end into a very well-drained potting or cactus mix. Keep the new plant in a bright location but out of direct light until roots form. Keep the rooting media slightly moist but avoid excess water that can lead to rot. Take more cuttings than needed for insurance. If you have great success you will have plants to share with family and friends.
Q. During your show with Larry Meiller on WPR, you mentioned a type of maple. I think you said "Miobee" but I have been unable to find anything close to this spelling. Can you please clarify for me?
A. You were close. Plus my Ohio-Wisconsin accent probably led you astray from the proper spelling of Miyabe maple (Acer miyabei). This medium-size maple is upright oval to rounded in form and can reach 30 to 40 feet tall. The dark green leaves turn pale yellow in fall. The Morton cultivar trademarked as State Street has a nice round habit and yellow fall color. Though it prefers moist well-drained slightly acid soil, it is tolerant of dry conditions. You may have to contact several nurseries to find a specimen for your landscape.
Q. On a recent visit to Florida, I collected live oak acorns to bring home to my squirrels. Several of them have root sprouts and I'm curious to try my hand at growing them indoors (I'm zone 5b). Any suggestions? I've read acorns require a chilling period before germination occurs; is this spontaneous sprouting specific to the live oak?
A. What a fun question. I think this type of curiosity and experimentation is what makes gardening fun for so many of us. The live oak (Quercus virginiana) is a type of white oak and reliably hardy in zones 8 through 10, but you may find some surviving in zone 7. The white oak group (typically with rounded lobes) tends to send roots out in the fall. This makes fall planting right after harvest preferable. Pot up the sprouted acorns in a deep container filled with a moist well-drained potting mix. These oaks tend to form a tap root, making transplanting more challenging. Keep the potting mix moist and cool. In spring you can move the pot to a warm sunny (or under artificial lights) location to encourage shoot growth. You may want to contact a local bonsai society for tips on keeping this potentially giant tree alive indoors.
Q. According to the hardiness maps, we are too far north to grow rosemary as a perennial. So I thought putting a rose cone over it might help it make it through the winter. Is that a good idea? I put it on after we had some pretty cold weather, and when I put it on, it still looked green. What do you think?
A. Rosemary is generally hardy in zones 8 and 9. A few cultivars like Arp and Hill Hardy will survive in zone 7 and a few gardeners report success in zone 6b. Check out the National Arboretum located in zone 7 for more details on their rosemary hardiness study www.usna.usda.gov/Gardens/faqs/RightRosemary.html#image8. You may chuckle when they talk about their challenging winter, which is much milder than our zones 3 through 5. You have nothing to lose by trying the rose cone. You may need to vent the cone on sunny days when the temperatures inside the cone can cook the plant. Be sure to remove the cone when spring temperatures start hovering above freezing. Next fall, consider bringing a plant indoors. Though challenging to overwinter inside, you have a better chance for success, and even the dried-up plant is fragrant.

Baseball field, Norman, Oklahoma
Williamson had been drafted by the Oakland Athletics before being sentenced to death
Served 11 years of a death sentence
In 1982, a young woman employed as a barmaid at the Coachlight Club in Ada, Oklahoma, left work late one evening and was found dead the next morning, raped and strangled. Six years later, Ron Williamson, a former minor league baseball player in the Kansas City Royals system, and his friend Dennis Fritz were arrested and convicted of the crime. Williamson, who suffered from mental illness, was convicted on the testimony of jailhouse snitches, a confession that he had had a dream about the crime, and microscopic hair comparisons linking him and Fritz to seventeen head and pubic hairs found on and under the body. Glen Gore, the star witness for the prosecution, said Williamson was in the Coachlight bothering the barmaid on the night of the murder. Twenty-three other people in the Coachlight, many of whom had known Williamson for years, had not seen him. Williamson was represented by a blind lawyer who lacked adequate assistance and who did nothing about the fact that his client was actively psychotic at the time of the trial. Williamson came within five days of execution. He spent much of his time on death row without proper medication, screaming that he was innocent and banging his head against the cell door. After his conviction was vacated by a federal court on the grounds that his lawyer was ineffective, DNA testing was performed in 1999 demonstrating that neither Fritz nor Williamson was the source of the seventeen head and pubic hairs found on the victim or the semen recovered from her. On April 15, 1999, Williamson was released from the same courthouse where he had been convicted. The day before Williamson was released -- after it was disclosed that DNA results from the semen matched Glen Gore -- Gore had escaped from a work-release program where he was serving time. He eventually turned himself in and has been charged with the barmaid's murder.
"I hope I go to neither heaven nor hell. I wish that at the time of my death that I could go to sleep and never wake up and never have a bad dream. Eternal rest, like you've seen on some tombstones, that's what I hope for. Because I don't want to go through the Judgment. I don't want anybody judging me again. ... I asked myself what was the reason for my birth when I was on death row, if I was going to have to go through all that. What was even the reason for my birth? I almost cursed my mother and dad -- it was so bad -- for putting me on this earth. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't be born."

Talbot, Flyers work out, wait during NHL lockout
"I want to play hockey," Talbot said, adding he would likely return overseas if the NHL season is wiped out.
Talbot, and most Flyers fans, need a refresher on the team's moves following a 103-point season and a second-round loss to New Jersey in the playoffs.
The Flyers lost out on free-agent stars Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. Jaromir Jagr and Matt Carle left. And they traded James van Riemsdyk. The biggest offseason additions, on the other hand, were Gervais, defenseman Luke Schenn and left wing Ruslan Fedotenko.
But the lineup is far from set. General manager Paul Holmgren, after all, may have quite a bit more maneuvering ahead if the Flyers are forced to get under a slashed salary cap that could be put in place under a new labor deal.
Talbot and the rest of the scaled-back Flyers have to rent ice time at the team's practice rink and cannot dress in the Flyers' locker room. Meszaros, however, was allowed to work with team trainers because he was injured. He tore his right Achilles' tendon training in Slovakia and would not have been ready to start the season in October. Because of the lockout, Meszaros could be cleared if the puck really does drop in two weeks.
"It's still not there where I want it to be," Meszaros said. "I want to make sure it's 100 percent because I don't want to come back soon."
Only injured players would consider a mid-January NHL return, "too soon." The rest of the league, meanwhile, can't wait to get a fair deal and get back on the ice.
But the time off hasn't been completely wasted. Shelley, a 12-year veteran, joked that he's been playing "Mr. Mom."
Timonen, who had surgery in May to remove a disc fragment from his lower back, passed on a chance to return to his native Finland to play. He's been a stay-at-home dad and tagged along on road trips to watch his 13-year-old son play on a youth hockey team.
"If there's something good about the lockout, at least I've been able to get healthy and spend time with my family," he said. "It's been great. I've got to be honest, there are a lot of weekends I didn't miss hockey that much. ... I probably saw my son play now more than his whole life. It's been fun."
But it's time to get back to work.

The Patriots will open their 2013 Training Camp next week with the first practice slated for 9 a.m. on July 26. Here at PatsFans.com we'll be bringing you a look at the roster by positions and who is competing for each slot and how they fit the system.
We've already looked at the running backs , linebackers and the defensive ends as many of the positions this summer will be hotly contested. Check in with us daily as we'll bring you a close look at training camp from the many fine writers here.
Devin McCourty remains the stabilizing factor for the back end of the NE defense. (FILE:USPresswire)
Today we'll look at the Patriots safeties, and this is a very intriguing group of players that are loaded with versatility and potential as the Patriots try to return their defense to one of prominence in the NFL. Starting mid-way through the 2012 season, the Patriots secondary changed for the better. The trade with Tampa Bay brought in Aqib Talib and that along with the emergence of 2012 draft pick Alfonzo Dennard gave the Patriots solid play at the corners.
This allowed the team to move Devin McCourty back to free safety and the back end of the defense was finally stabilized. The only issue was Steve Gregory was playing somewhat out of position at the strong safety position in the box. Still, the defense was much improved down the stretch and it didn't rely on the rookies Tavon Wilson and Nate Ebner as much. Both had good and bad performances, not uncommon for rookies.
Roster Breakdown- Devin McCourty, Adrian Wilson, Steve Gregory, Nate Ebner, Duron Harmon, Tavon Wilson, Kanorris Davis
Devin McCourty- McCourty is perhaps the most versatile of the Patriots safeties; he can play at FS or at CB and is the unquestioned glue for the back end of the defense. He also played more snaps on defense than anyone else (1251).
The Patriots would, in a perfect world love to have McCourty and Adrian Wilson start at safety with Dennard, Talib and Arrington (slot corner) as starters at the corner. But given Dennard's arrest and upcoming court appearance, he could be gone for an extended period of time. He could be facing jail and/or suspension time.
If that were to happen, it wouldn't be a stretch at all to see McCourty moved back to corner opposite Talib and allow Arrington to remain in the slot where he's more comfortable.
Adrian Wilson- Wilson's signing during the free agency period was very much under the radar and it is surprising considering the Patriots are getting a five-time Pro Bowler who played for the defense who allowed the lowest QB rating in the league last year.
While fans and many media types were clamoring for Ed Reed, Reed didn't fulfill a need as McCourty is already a solid if not standout at free safety. Something the Patriots have needed since Rodney Harrison left town is a physical, in-the-box safety who can bring the lumber in the running game and cover tight ends in the passing game.
Wilson brings that physicality and size (6'3, 230) to the position that the team has sorely lacked. Like Harrison, he brings a veteran's savvy and a solid locker room presence to the team. Bill Belichick has already praised his professionalism and work ethic during the spring.
The only questions about him were how much he has left in the tank, but there were also rumors that he was ill-utilized in his final season in Arizona. Wilson will be a person to watch during the camp at Foxboro.
Tavon Wilson- Last season's surprise selection in the draft provided some solid play and significant playing time especially early in the season.
Wilson, whose selection was panned by many of the experts last season, had a pretty solid rookie campaign providing 4 interceptions. He also was victimized at times as rookies are prone to do but overall his play was a positive.
Wilson was the one who lost the most playing time after the Talib trade, McCourty moved to free safety and the team went with the veteran Gregory at strong safety leaving Wilson the odd man out.
Wilson is coming into his second season, and as Belichick loves to say, players usually improve the most between the 1st and 2nd seasons. He should see an uptick in playing time, coming in for sub-packages and subbing for Adrian Wilson.
Steve Gregory- Signed as a free agent in 2012, Gregory performed well overall during the 2012 season and played out of position for much of the time. Not truly big enough to play a true SS role, he had an up and down year but remains a versatile member of the defense being able to play either position
Being more comfortable as a FS, he projects as a back-up for McCourty, but should the Dennard situation require a move for McCourty back to CB, Gregory can step in and start at FS immediately.
Given that, I believe his roster position is stronger going into camp, but performances will tell the story.
Nate Ebner– Ebner was a 6th round draft pick last year from Ohio State. The converted rugby player was a nice story last year and played a decent amount of snaps at safety but was primarily used as a special teams player.
Ebner could develop into a back-up safety but will be locked into a roster battle with Davis and Harmon, and his STs skill may ultimately decide if he stays or goes.
Duron Harmon- Like Wilson of last season, Harmon was considered a huge reach for the Patriots in the 3rd round with 91st pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. But Harmon is smart, (3.8 GPA) and versatile, he can play either the FS or SS position but is probably a better fit at FS.
Harmon who has decent size at 6'1, 201 ran a 4.51-second 40-yard dash at his Rutgers pro day, and also ran a 7.02-second 3-cone drill. He was thought of one of the leaders of the Rutgers defense and rest assured, there will be plenty of eyes on him as training camp progesses.
Kanorris Davis- Davis a converted linebacker from Troy will be attempting to break in on the roster as a strong safety. He had interest from ten teams as an UDFA but chose to sign with the Patriots.
He ran a 4.61 at his pro day and at 5'10, 210 is a bit undersized for a strong safety but his special teams skills will be drawn into consideration. But for now, he's a long shot to make the team.
Conclusion- With the addition of Adrian Wilson, the Patriots safety position is now a deep and versatile group. It will allow them to mix and match freely and as long as McCourty remains at safety, this position will be a strength on defense. Should it necessitate moving D-Mac to CB, it's not the end of the world but will play with their depth.
Wilson remains the wild-card here, he provides something this defense has lacked for many years, a physical, dependable presence in the middle of the field who can provide run support and cover the TEs. Stay tuned for camp updates….

As if the nerd appeal of Mass Effect 2 weren't already burying the needle, today BioWare shed some more light on the game's voice cast, which is basically a murderer's row of sci-fi regulars and dependable character actors. Keith David (Men at Work, the second Westside Connection album) and Seth Green (Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch: Make My Video, Old Dogs), whose characters return from the first game, are joined by Martin Sheen ( Apocalypse Now, Spawn), Shohreh Aghdashloo ("FlashForward", The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2), Yvonne Strahovski ("Chuck"), Adam Baldwin ("Firefly", My Bodyguard), Michael Dorn ("Star Trek: The Next Generation", Saints Row 2), Tricia Helfer ("Battlestar Galactica", Halo 3: ODST), Michael Hogan ("Battlestar Galactica"), and Carrie-Anne Moss ( The Matrix, "Models Inc").
That's a pretty solid cast, most of whom already have a fair amount of voice-over experience, but really, we're just happy that Keith David is back. Vinny points out that this video is basically the cast of Mass Effect 2. Also, Keith David's finest work. Enjoy.
Actually, scratch that. If Mass Effect 2 is going to take cues from anything, it should be this.

This summer's most overused movie gimmick
I've seen many to most of the summer movies so far and noticed several of them feature a variation on the same scene that guarantees they will not be shown by airlines - the breaking apart of an airplane in mid-air sending passengers plummeting to their deaths.
All seem to be a variation of a similar scene in "The Dark Knight Rises," in which the villain Bane proceeds to destroy and escape from the plane on which he is held a prisoner. »Read Full Blog Post(5)

Roku is maturing fast this week: First came news of its first cable-channel partner, WealthTV, and now a deal with mDialog that will allow for dynamic midstream ad insertion in its programming. While WealthTV might seem the bigger deal, the latter has bigger implications.
The ability to dynamically insert ads is something that could attract more programmers–not to mention, more prominent ones than WealthTV–who will want a dual revenue stream in place if they're going to consider Roku as a distribution partner.
As it stands, the only advertising on Roku is from either Hulu Plus, which handles its own ad placement, or live-sports programmers like NHL Gamecenter that replicate whatever they're doing on air. Otherwise, you have ad-free zones from channels that subsist entirely on subscriptions like Netflix (NSDQ: NFLX), or programmers who are just winging it for now.
But if mDialog is going to allow for programmers to insert more ads, it's going to be interesting to see whether there's any pushback from viewers. The answer here may not necessarily be a yes or no question to ads on Roku channels. It may take some experimentation with ad load and price point to get it right.
For instance, could a channel that charges a cheaper fee because it carries ads be an acceptable tradeoff to consumers? Possibly. Roku could potentially offer consumers two different channels priced differently depending on whether there are ads in-stream or not.
What may make all the difference here is what type of ads are inserted. If Roku can provide advertisers with demographic data, ads can be targeted to relevant IP addresses. There's also potential for making "smart" ads that aren't just 30-second videos, but interactive experiences that can culminate in actual transactions.
But even with the ability to add commercials, the bigger question is, will marketers care about a footprint of 1 million devices? That's infinitesimal compared with most cable channels; most advertisers won't roll out of bed in the TV sector unless there's 20 million households in place. That said, programmers that have their channels on a number of platforms may just use Roku as padding for their total reach. Channels that exist on Roku and not much else won't have that luxury.

Suggested Reading List
La Pointe: Village Outpost on Madeline Island
Author: Hamilton Nelson Ross
Description: The Wisconsin Historical Society Press has republished a long-out-of-print classic of Wisconsin history, La Pointe: Village Outpost, by Hamilton Nelson Ross (1889-1957). The book, which first appeared in 1960, provides a 300-year history of La Pointe, a community on Madeline Island, one of Lake Superior's Apostle Islands. With flair, humor, and solid scholarship, Ross tells the story of the region's evolution. Madeline Island served initially as a refuge for the local Ojibway from their enemy the Sioux before the arrival of French explorers in 1659, then an epicenter of the fur-trade era in the eighteenth century, and finally a summer vacation spot for businessmen and industrialists. Today the island attracts thousands of summer tourists who vastly outnumber the 200 or so year-round residents. Ross first visited Madeline Island from his native Beloit as an eight-year-old, returning again and again over his lifetime to the Ross family cabin in La Pointe. His years of careful study and observation served him well. Ross told the region's story so eloquently that his book helped persuade Congress and the President in 1970 to preserve the islands in perpetuity as the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
Long Ship Passing: The Story of The Great Lakes
Author: Walter Havighurst
Description: A popular history of navigation on the Great Lakes and life on their shores, The Long Ships Passing brings us aboard the crafts that have plowed the waves of the treacherous "five sisters" carrying the grain, lumber, and minerals that fed and built the cities of America. Walter Havighurst paints vivid pictures of life-and death-on the lakes, mysterious accounts of wooden ships and iron men that sank to freshwater graves, especially along the immigrant route where the wrecks lie thick. In rich and marvelous detail, this classic history recounts the saga of an inland marine empire. A longtime professor of English at Miami University, Walter Havighurst (1901-1994) grew up in Wisconsin and was a prolific and passionate writer of regional history and fiction.
Tales of Bayfield Pioneers: A History Of Bayfield
Author: Elenor Knight
Description: Tales of Bayfield Pioneers is an exploration of a wonderful past. To read it is to come away with a sense of place. The times, the lives of the pioneers and settlers, the shipwrecks, community spirit, and institutions of a fledgling community on the shores of Lake Superior are meticulously documented for posterity. Eleanor Knight, "provided a new appreciation of local history to the citizens of Bayfield during the Centennial period." Eleanor, the grand-daughter of one of Bayfield's pioneers and captains of industry, William Knight, was one of Bayfield's finest and talented writers and highly qualified to document and record the wealth of historical facts. She has left a legacy for all to enjoy. Now, citizens of Bayfield and the future, together with the Knight family, can share the history of early Bayfield, as written by Eleanor Knight and published in the Bayfield County Press from 1950 through the 1956.

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
Kurt asked the question "why not Noun-Verb vs Verb-Noun" in his post: http://blogs.msdn.com/monad/archive/2006/02/16/533522.aspx#574708
There are lots of answers to this some better than others. Let me rattle off a couple of them:
Jeffrey P. SnoverMonad Architect
[Edit: Monad has now been renamed to Windows PowerShell. This script or discussion may require slight adjustments before it applies directly to newer builds.]
PSMDTAG:FAQ: Why is it VERB-NOUN vs NOUN-VERB ?
Wrong wrong wrong - Verb-Noun is a great way *not* to get things done. The problem: you know you need to something with files. So you start by looking for "File" and then realize that - as M$ did with W32 API - Verb-Noun defeats your purpose.
I don't know how angry I got back in 1992 when I wanted to do GDI work and I had to wade through a mountain of "Get" calls because some bozo decided that Verb-Noun could be at all defended.
Noun-Verb is not programmer-centric, it's human-centric. It's the same concept as an index in any book. When I want to lookup functions on the registry I want to find all the registry functions grouped together and not spread out all over the place.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 5/2/12
Anze Kopitar summed up the incredible dagger of a short-handed goal almost casually say, one step removed from nonchalant. "It worked out pretty well," Kopitar said Tuesday. This wasn't a garden-variety goal scored by the Kings center in November. It was the goal rattling the psyche of the Blues in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal series Monday in St. Louis. These are the sort of opponent-deflating goals that can define a series. The score came with 5:44 left in the opening period to give the Kings a 2-0 lead on their way to a 5-2 victory and a 2-0 series lead against the Blues. Game 3 is Thursday in Los Angeles, and the Blues have rallied from a 2-0 playoff deficit only once in franchise history, in 1972 against the Minnesota North Stars. More history: Teams that have trailed by 2-0 in a best-of-seven series have rallied to win the series only 12.7 of the time. Back to Kopitar and his penalty-killing running mate, Dustin Brown. Brown's pressure caused Blues defen...

Trivia Tuesday: INSEAD's Language Requirement
Apr 1, 2014 | 0 comments
Today in Trivia Tuesday, we're looking inside the Clear Admit School Guide to INSEAD in order to share with you an excerpt about the program's language requirement.
"A distinctive aspect of INSEAD's MBA program is that language skills are an official requirement for both admission and graduation. Beyond the requirement that students possess proficiency in two languages upon enrollment, one of which must be English, students must also demonstrate basic knowledge of a third commercially useful language in order to graduate. INSEAD's 'basic knowledge' classification, equivalent to the European Council's A2 competency level, requires an ability to communicate clearly and simply about routine matters and situations. Though students have the full duration of their studies at INSEAD to reach this level of competence, they must declare their exit language at the time of enrollment.
"Incoming students who are already proficient in a third language are permitted to certify their competence before matriculation, provided that they have passed a state-recognized language proficiency exam accepted by INSEAD or have completed a degree program of which at least one year was conducted exclusively in the language in question. During Orientation Week, students may also sit for a written or oral proficiency test administered by one of INSEAD's partner language instruction institutions.
"INSEAD offers language classes lasting from P1 to P3 for students seeking to develop competency in a third language. French, German and Spanish are taught on the Fontainebleau campus each year, with the possible addition of Arabic, Italian, Mandarin, Portuguese and Russian, depending on demand within the incoming class. On the Singapore campus, French, German, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese and Bahasa Melayu are offered."
To read more about INSEAD's language requirement, as well as to obtain in-depth information about the school's program and curriculum, be sure to check out the Clear Admit School Guide to INSEAD. All Clear Admit School Guides are available for immediate purchase and download on the Clear Admit shop.

About Uncirculated 1802 Half Dime, A Landmark Rarity1802 H10C AU 50 NGC. V-1, LM-1, the only known dies, R.5. Formerly offered as lot 6815 in our Philadelphia 2000 Sale, where it was described as, "In all of U.S. numismatics there are only a handful of regular issue coins that can compare in absolute rarity to the 1802 half dime. For this cataloger, it is the measure of a great collection. Doing research for the "Auction Lore" series on historic and important collections from the past, the presence of an 1802 half dime has been the benchmark used in judging whether a collector had a true grasp on rarity or whether he was merely an accumulator. The collection this piece came from, that of William Cutler Atwater, contained two 1802s. To underscore the absolute rarity of this date, when this coin was consigned, Auction Director Bob Merrill said, 'I have been with this auction company since it began in 1976. In all those years and 181 auctions, we have probably sold two dozen 1794 dollars (five in one sale), and 18-20 1796-97 halves, but this is the first 1802 half dime we have ever offered.'
" When the first specimen was sold in 1863, only three pieces were known. Twenty years later, when Harold Newlin published his monograph on the half dime series in 1883, he knew of only 16 specimens. That "16 known" figure stood until the 1930s when James G. Macallister claimed he could trace 35 pieces. No one else has attempted a more recent census, but Breen claimed that 35-45 coins were extant today. What is significant about the 1802 other than its absolute rarity is its extreme rarity in high grade. None are known in Mint State, only two are believed to grade as high as AU, five more are XF, four others are in VF, and the remaining two or three dozen are low grade with a particularly heavy concentration in the Fair to VG range. The rarity of the 1802 is further emphasized by the fact that deceptive electrotype counterfeits are known.
"Deeply toned in shades of cobalt-blue, rose, and golden-gray. The striking details are a bit irregular, this apparently being a trademark of the date as evidenced by the Valentine and Breen plate coins. On the obverse, the stars on the left are weak as are the lowest hair curls. On the reverse, stars 2, 3, and 8 are non-existent. Otherwise, the hair curls on Liberty are well defined as are the feathers on the wings of the eagle. The profile of Liberty is machine doubled and there are several shallow pinscratches in the right obverse field as well as an oval-shaped planchet void on the breast of Liberty. On the reverse, a long scratch runs diagonally across the shield. This piece has been held in major collections for more than a hundred years, and we are very pleased to be able to offer such an important and impressively pedigreed example of this major rarity in U.S. numismatics."
Ex: W. Elliot Woodward Sale (October, 1884); James B. Wilson Collection (Elder, 10/08), where it sold for $715; H.O. Granberg Collection; William Cutler Atwater (BMM, 6/46), lot 1126, where it brought $840; unknown dealer intermediaries in the late 1940s; anonymous New Jersey collector until 1991; 1998 FUN Sale (Heritage, 1/98), lot 6631, where it realized $84,000; Philadelphia 2000 Sale (Heritage, 8/00), lot 6815.

After four years together, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's relationship is quickly becoming an awkward liner note.
The latest rumor being that she could possibly be moving on with 26-year-old Theo Wenner, a Rolling Stone photographer, ex-boyfriend of Liv Tyler, and yes, son of that other Wenner, Jann Wenner, co-founder of the aforementioned music magazine.
You may recognize his work, most recently being the cover of that much sliced-and-diced issue of Rolling Stone featuring Miley and her notorious tongue.
In addition to closely and intimately working together (she was topless for most of the shoot), the two planned a meetup at her "Saturday Night Live" after-party.
Paparazzi and their tele-continental lenses scoped out a series of texts between the two that read [ALL SIC because kidz these days, amirite?!]:
From Theo: "I wanna c u to"
From Theo: "Should u have your drinky ill get this done and come c u"
From Miley: "That sounds like a good plany"
A source close to the singer is already dispelling the dating reports, telling E! News that the two are just "new friends" and nothing more.
This friendship could head down a more romantic path in the future, but as of right now, she's still coming to terms with being single after a wedding engagement. Let her text message in peace.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/20/11
With a depleted lineup and a shaky situation in net, the Toronto Maple Leafs have become more reliant on Phil Kessel. Joffrey Lupul is certainly stepping up as well. Lupul and the Maple Leafs will visit the struggling Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday, going for their third straight win in the series. Toronto (11-7-2) has been inundated with injuries recently, including to starting goaltender James Reimer and forwards Mikhail Grabovski and Clarke MacArthur, who have combined for 11 goals. Defenseman Mike Komisarek needs surgery for a broken arm and will be out at least eight weeks. While the injuries have placed more pressure on Kessel, who leads the NHL with 14 goals and 27 points, the Maple Leafs had 10 players record at least one point in a 7-1 victory over Washington on Saturday - just their second win in seven games. Kessel and Lupul each had a minus-4 rating in a 4-1 loss to Nashville on Thursday, but Kessel had a goal and an assist Saturday while Lupul had a goal and three ...

Take a look at these hands
Cake Walk
Found this image at the local fair in Almere on a monday morning.
Exif data: Aperture: ƒ/5.6 Camera: GR ISO: 100 Shutter speed: 1/500s
Cakewalk (or cake-walk) is a game played at carnivals, funfairs, and fundraising events. It is similar to a raffle and musical chairs.
Numbered squares are laid out on a path. Tickets are sold to participants, with the number of squares in the path equal to the maximum number of tickets sold. The participants walk around the path in time to music, which plays for a duration and then stops. A number is then called out, and the person standing on the square with that number wins a cake as a prize (hence the name). During the 1930s, the English poet John Betjeman described St Giles' Fair in Oxford as follows: It is about the biggest fair in England. The whole of St Giles' … is thick with freak shows, roundabouts, cake-walks, the whip, and the witching waves…

Composite = Photograph?
I don't think so. But that's just my humble opinion. I've read this article on Lightstalking: Can a Composite Really Be Called a Photograph? which represents a different opinion:
"I ask the people who think composites are not photos if the source photographs have been taken with a camera. If that is true, why shouldn't the final image be called a photograph, as well?"
"I'm trying to understand the other side, too. I suppose people feel like that is cheating, and that would be why they devalue it."
Of course composites can be made with photos but still I think a composite = a composite and sure it can be art or just a great image or a not so great image. I can appreciate it if it is done right and it can be amazingly beautiful, sure and I don't think it's cheating or feel the need to devalue it: It's just not a photograph.
A photograph, to me, is a capture of a moment in time. Nothing more nothing less. We also call it an image. Just like we call a composite an image. A composite, to me, is a combination of several images (photographs or not) but I do not think it is a photograph.
This site has a lot of images, all photographs, moments in time. Not several moments in time, put together as one image, trying to look like one moment in time.
So there I said it. You're welcome. — PixelToko
(and now back to photography)

Haha! No No No No No, I haven't been shooting film. Just some digital shots of my workhorse testing out some studio lighting setups. This is all photoshop and lightroom. Sorry. I think I need to clean my camera soon…all unretouched. No interesting images here just a small black camera on a white background.
The Photo
For me the question: Digital or Analog is a no-brainer
I use most of my images in digital form: for my website or Instagram or other social media. I am not losing time developing film and digitalizing (scanning) film. I can manipulate my digital files to make them look like they were shot on film, if I want to, or at least give them the feeling and mood I want and like. Colour or Black and White? Well, for me, mostly: Black and white. But, I don't have to make that choice because I am shooting digital RAW files. I can go either way. High ISO or low ISO? It is not written in stone. I mostly let my camera decide on the ISO and only control the absolute maximum it can use. Shot at ISO 100 but I need that Tri-X pushed to ISO 1600 feeling? No problem, I call it Silver Efex Pro.
Don't you like film?
I absolutely love film. Always have and I've always shot film, developed myself and made my own prints, colour and black and white. Great stuff. I just don't want to go back. Pixels give a certain freedom as described above and I love it. I think it is a great thing that there are still photographers who shoot film, and modern photographers, that may never have shot film, but just want to shoot it and may become addicted to shooting film and using analog film cameras. I think every serious photographer should have had the experience of shooting, developing and printing film. You will probably even more appreciate the digital workflow and the editing possibilities with modern cameras and software.
In the end all that matters is the end result: your image.
Nobody cares whether you exposed a sensor or a film or if you used a Leica or a Nikon or a Canon or a Fuji or even a Ricoh for that matter. ** How big is your sensor? ** Is it FULL-FRAME?? or only a small compact or APS-C?? What do you mean by full frame? that lousy 24x36mm?? That is only full frame for a 35mm film-camera! It does not matter. The image does. Do you like it? Are you happy with it? Does it look like you want it to look? Does it give you the same feeling you had when you pressed the shutter and envisioned that image? That is Great. That's what matters.
Well at least … to me. So forget everything I said and do whatever you want, buy films, scan negatives, print to lovely paper, burn and dodge, breathe in chemicals, DO IT! as long as it makes you happy and gives you your finest and best end-result. The Photo.

Two education-related measures that received a lot of support in the first half of Indiana's legislative session - reconsidering nation curriculum standards and instituting a preschool pilot program - appear to be in danger of going nowhere.
But House Education Committee Chairman Robert Behning, R-Indianapolis, said he will not advance a bill from the Senate that would require public hearings across the state regarding the future implementation of the national Common Core curriculum - even though the proposal received strong support in the Senate.

I've been playing around with some C# statements in LINQPad with a view to understanding what intermediate language code is emitted.
I first tried the following code:
var Container = new {Name = "James"};
And saw the following six lines of IL emitted:
IL_0001: ldstr "James"
IL_0006: newobj <>f__AnonymousType0<System.String>..ctor
IL_000B: stloc.0
IL_000C: ldloc.0
IL_000D: callvirt <>f__AnonymousType0<System.String>.get_Name
IL_0012: call System.Console.WriteLine
Which, is broadly what I expect, and is quite a nice demonstration of how anonymous types are read-only/immutable, seeing as there is no set_Name property.
Next I tried the statements:
dynamic Container = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();
Container.Name = "James";
Which causes a huge amount of IL to be emitted. I'll not paste it here, but you can find it in this pastebin.
I understand there is quite a bit of overhead with regard to managing the dynamic type and ExpandoObject, but I don't understand why it appears that the call to
System.Console.WriteLine is in this case performed through internal reflection.
IL_0072: ldstr "WriteLine"
IL_00BF: ldtoken System.Console
In the first segment of code, after the property was retrieved and stored, it was a one-line IL statement that invoked
So why is all this extra required for the call with a
dynamic type?

How to find out if my DH is really working overtime like he says?
He is abusing you, and took control of your life when you were underage. You need to get out now. Your life is going to be nothing but unhappiness and abuse.
Jessica (38)
Married to Chris (41) and mommy to Madison 6/17/09 and Jackson 4/28/12
Amber & Matt 8/25/12 TTC since 3/2011
Diagnosed with PCOS in 3/2012
With 10mo help from fertility Dr., excitedly expecting 11/7/13!!!
Not sure if you're coming back OP, but you being 18 and him being 56 puts a completely different spin on this. It wasn't good before, but just with that little bit of info, it really really doesn't seem right at all. All though, you talking about protecting your future with life insurance and a will doesn't really seem all that out of the ordinary given his age......
You are being abused, and are not an equal in this relationship. I feel very sad and concerned for you and LO. Please don't ignore the advice these ladies have given.
OP, you say you only want advice on the work dilemma and not your marriage...maybe you should re-read your post and the first responses you gave...it's clear that your husband doesn't respect you because he sees you as his child and not his life partner....get real hunny and open your eyes-seriously!
OP, you did technically ask for advice by asking other women how they know their husband is really working.
I didn't realize your husband was so much older than you and I'm concerned about your well-being and that of your child. It's really not normal for a husband (no matter how much older, my husband is a bit older than me, but not by 30+ years) to keep the finances a secret from his wife I feel like if you were closer in age to him you would see that his treatment towards you is not only unfair but it's somewhat bizarre.
As your husband it's his job to keep you informed on your financial situation and to give you reason to trust him. Of course you are struggling to trust him--he's keeping things from you. You're supposed to be a team, working with each other, never against each other.
I think this is a good time to assess your support system (blood relatives, friends, trusted co-workers) since we're all just a bunch of strangers, really.
Chin up. I hope he opens up to you soon and that he really is just working late and you can be confident in that.

Ford Motor Co. has amped up its ambitions for the all-new 2013 Fusion hybrid powertrains.
Consumers looking at the new midsize sedan can choose from five powertrains, but the Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker expects at least 15 percent of them to drive off with the gas-electric hybrid or Energi plug-in models.
That is a big leap. Hybrids accounted for 3.9 percent of Fusion sales through August and were 4.5 percent of 2011 sedan sales. ...
