Event Information
by Anne Washburn
score by Michael Friedman
lyrics by Anne Washburn
directed by Mark Rucker
What will endure when the apocalypse arrives? Anne Washburn's imaginative dark comedy begins immediately after the fall of civilization with a group of people trying to recreate the iconic "Cape Feare" episode of "The Simpsons." Seven years later, the same clan is recounting episodes of the show professionally. Flash forward 75 years, and the story is told in an entirely different way. A paean to live theater, and to the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns is an exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another. The New York Times named Mr. Burns one of the Top Ten Plays of 2013, saying it will "leave you dizzy with the scope and dazzle of its ideas." Time magazine called the play "both scary and sweet, funny but dead serious, unique and wonderfully theatrical." Don't miss the play everyone will be talking about this season!

Stef Broks
Stef Broks is the drummer for Textures, a Dutch technical metal band. He's a left handed player who uses polyrythmns extensively, much like Tomas Haake of Meshuggah. He uses Tama drums and Meinl cymbals. Since I also use Meinl, I've noticed that he has an unusual choice of ride for a metal drummer; he uses a 20" Amun ride where most endorsees would use a heavy ride from one of the other series (I think this is a nice choice, as I find "metal" cymbals don't always produce a tone I like).
I find his drumming interesting and tasteful, not just technically proficient, but he doesn't seem to be very well known.
Re: Stef Broks
Which is kinda weird because this guy could easily pass as being the best drummer in the world, I saw them live and they are technical, brutal and mesmerizing
Re: Stef Broks
Agreed. Great drummer. I saw Textures last Thursday at the Camden Underworld, great band with very technical but still involving songs.
Probably my fave band after Opeth.
The set was too short though!!
Re: Stef Broks
This guy is talented, his application of polyrhythmic rhythms is not that extensive. Off the top of my head, I can only remember him doing a 4:5 thing in a part of Awake by Textures, usually just eighth note or sixteenth note based ones such that 4 is against X (4:X). A groove he has done which is basic conceptually but impressive is in Laments of An Icarus, where he plays the eighth note and eighth note triplet pattern over quarter note triplets (6:4).
Re: Stef Broks
Really great drummer. I'm definitely more impressed with his playing in Exivious though
Re: Stef Broks
much respect.
Re: Stef Broks
Good to see Stef's getting some love from the DW community. I've known him personally for about four years now and he's the main reason I started playing drums.
When I was just starting out, I mailed him asking for some advice and he suggested we head out for a drink and chat for a bit. Awesome down-to-earth guy, very supportive of everyone around him and a very talented drummer.
Stef Broks - Singularity playthrough
Stef Broks - Laments of an Icarus playthrough
For anyone interested:
Stef has left Exivious in (I think) 2011 and was replaced by Yuma van Eekelen of Pestilence.

All-wheel and rear-wheel drive (AWD and RWD) are available; leather upholstery is optional on the R/T and SXT; and some of the SRT8's performance features are also available on other trims. A navigation system is optional on the upper trims, and a sunroof is available on all but the SE trim.

A 5.7-liter V-8 engine that generates 370 horsepower and 395 lb.-ft. of torque is standard on Charger R/T. The SRT8 exclusively features a 6.4-liter V-8 engine that delivers 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. A 5-speed automatic transmission is standard.

Kids love fast foods. Show them Big Mac and large fries and you'll surely get their attention almost instantaneously and no sweat at that. But as much as we hope fast foods can return the same extent of appreciation to our kids, a piece of toy from happy meals is just not sufficient to prove they care enough for our kids' health.
Based on the analysis of dietitians at the nonprofit group Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), fast foods are the biggest source of unhealthy meals that kids are consuming nowadays. McDonald's Mighty Kids Meal tops the list with 840 calories, 37 grams of fat and excessive sodium content. But the saddest part is that their happy meals toys are acting as motivational pieces that keep luring the kids from munching greasy-filled burgers and fries. This is also the reason why a nonprofit group Center for Science in the Public Interest threatened to sue McDonald on June for using the toys to promote junk foods. To date, no lawsuit has been filed yet.
Other fast food meals that were identified to give too much cholesterol are Wendy's, KFC, A&W, and Burger King. Below are the figures from the findings:
- McDonald's Mighty Kids Meal: Double Cheeseburger, French fries, and chocolate milk
840 calories; 37 grams of fat
- Wendy's Kids' Meal: Chicken Sandwich, French fries, and chocolate Frosty
770 calories; 34 grams of fat
- KFC Kids Meal: Popcorn chicken, potato wedges, string cheese, and soda
800 calories; 1,800 milligrams of sodium
- A&W Kids Meal: Cheeseburger, French fries, and soda
780 calories; 9 grams of saturated fat
- Burger King's BK Kids: Breakfast muffin sandwich meal
95 milligrams of cholesterol; exceeds recommended limit on sodium intake
In hindsight, those facts mentioned above certainly gives an alarming reminder about what our kids are taking into their stomachs. But the hope is still high that fast foods will be more aggressive in pushing forth healthy meals in their menus and share the same objective of fighting childhood obesity.

In his op-ed in the New York Times, Tom Brokaw, special correspondent for NBC News, points out that there's no shortage of discussion about some large issues facing the country: the role and nature of the federal government in America's future, public debt, jobs, health care, the influence of special interests, and the role of populist movements like the Tea Party. "In nearly every Congressional and Senate race, these are the issues that explode into attack ads, score points in debates and light up cable talk shows. In poll after poll, these are the issues that voters say are most important to them this year," Brokaw writes. "Notice anything missing on the campaign landscape?"
Brokaw proceeds to answer his own question:
How about war? The United States is now in its ninth year of fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, the longest wars in American history. Almost 5,000 men and women have been killed. More than 30,000 have been wounded, some so gravely they're returning home to become, effectively, wards of their families and communities.
In those nine years, the United States has spent more than $1 trillion on combat operations and other parts of the war effort, including foreign aid, reconstruction projects, embassy costs and veterans' health care. And the end is not in sight.
So why aren't the wars and their human and economic consequences front and center in this campaign, right up there with jobs and taxes?
Notice anything missing from the description of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars?
How about something positive they have achieved — the end of two of the most malevolent regimes in modern history; a crucial defeat for al-Qaeda on a battleground of its own choosing (in Iraq); and the installation of representative governments in lands where such a thing has been alien, just for starters. In Iraq, you could add the toppling of and eventual death sentence administered to a man, Saddam Hussein, responsible for the deaths of more than a million Muslims. And in Afghanistan, you could add unprecedented rights for women.
Now, some of these gains remain tentative, and they many even prove to be temporary. We simply don't know at this juncture. But to frame the Afghanistan and Iraq wars only in terms of their costs in American lives and treasure and to leave out any of the honorable and important achievements of the wars is irresponsible. It's also revealing of the attitude of many contemporary liberals, who view the wars only through the lens of suffering and sacrifice.
I would add something else as well: one reason Iraq is a virtual non-issue in the 2010 election is precisely because things have improved so much from the dark days in 2006 and 2007, when Iraq, then on the edge of civil war, dominated American politics. The fact that it has dropped off the radar screen is an indication of the very progress Brokaw himself cannot seem to acknowledge.
There is no denying that there has been plenty of suffering as a result of these wars, as there are in all wars. But there have also been encouraging and heartening achievements by our troops, to which they themselves are eager to testify. The fact that Brokaw would see the sacrifice this nation and its warriors have made and yet pay no tribute to the many good things that have come to pass as a result of those sacrifices is a shame. Our troops don't want or need to be treated as pitiable figures who have suffered in vain; most of them simply want to be treated as what they are: brave and honorable individuals who have achieved remarkable, and maybe historic, things.

Samantha Ryan was born and raised in Kansas and it was quite some time before she made the move down the Yellow Brick Road to the bright lights of the West Coast. Once she arrived in Los Angeles in 2004 there was just no stopping her and her rise to prominence in the adult movie industry was a whole lot faster than many others. By 2006 she was being nominated for industry awards and has managed to achieve at least one nomination every year since then. Apart from acting in over 140 movies since 2004 she has also appeared on the other side of the camera as a director and that's definitely something that Samantha wants to pursue in the future.

By Maj. Donna Miles, USARAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 1997 During the past year, more than 10,000 members of the Guard and Reserve have been called to active duty to support the peacekeeping mission in Bosnia, and Defense Department officials say that number is likely to increase in the months ahead. They point to Operation Joint Endeavor as a textbook example of the critical role the reserve components play in U.S. military operations.
"We do not conduct any significant mission anywhere in the world today without the reserve forces," Secretary of Defense William Perry said as he wrapped up an around-the-world trip that included a Thanksgiving Day visit with troops in Bosnia. "This particular mission draws heavily on the reserves because the concentration of our civil-military capability is in the reserve forces."
In Bosnia, reserve component members have carried out the brunt of the civil affairs mission and provided much of the medical, military police, psychological operations, transportation, logistics, intelligence and public affairs support. Many Guard and Reserve members have served in Bosnia or the surrounding areas; others have carried out support roles, and replaced deployed active-duty forces in Germany and the United States.
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs Deborah Lee said the Bosnia mission demonstrates "the reserves have really come of age. And they are more essential now, today, to the total force than they everwere before."
She said the concept of the "total force" has been talked about for years. "But I think that now active duty commanders have come to view it as ground truth," she said. "They are becoming more and more familiar with reserve capabilities than they ever have been before. They realize that the idea of a total force has moved beyond the theoretical and has become a reality, and a practicality in the defense business."
That wasn't always the case. Lee said she remembers the climate when she was first named the defense secretary's top reserve adviser."One of the big issues and concerns at the time was access to the reservecomponents. Meaning, could the president really call them up? Would we getenough volunteers if we needed volunteers for duty? Could we really askpeople to go for three or four weeks of annual training, vice two weeks,for joint exercises?"
Four years later, Lee said those questions have all been answered yes. "I do not hear from our leaders anymore about concerns on access," she said. "The reason, I think, is that the president has called up the reserves when he has been advised to do so. We have gotten superb volunteerism when we've needed to do so. And the reserves have in fact made themselvesavailable for longer, short-duration exercises."
With high-profile missions during the past four years in Somalia, Haiti and Bosnia, the reserve components "have been there, and they've performed superbly," Lee said.
But while the Guard and Reserve have become a key factor indefense planning, Lee said every effort is being made to ensure no unitsor individuals are called on to carry out more than their fair share ofmissions.
"My notion has always been that we must not call reserve units in back-to-back years, if we can help it," she said. "For example, we do not anticipate mobilizing units for Bosnia if they were already called to Haiti.
"Now there may be individuals who were in both Haiti and Bosnia, perhaps because they volunteered, or perhaps because they changed units.But there should be no units that are called to both missions."
Lee said now that a third rotation of reserve component memberscould be mobilized for the Bosnia mission, that's becoming more of aproblem.
Most of the units that have been called to active duty so far to support Operation Joint Endeavor have come from the Army Reserve. So Leesaid an effort will now be made to use more Army National Guard units,when possible.
"It's an effort to spread the work around to a larger number of units in order not to tax any single unit or units too much," she said.

Reality television can do a number on a romantic relationship. (But then again, it can also bring couples back together, too.)
Over the course of the past few years, we've watched the demise of many a marriage on TV, which always hurts to see because, hello, even though it's TV, it's also real life and these are real relationships that are ending. But we've also seen our share of "showmances" that we kinda figured would never last, and they crashed and burned pretty hard (we're looking at you, Rich and Erica). Which breakups were the most dramatic, the most shocking, the most explosive? Read our top ten list to find out!

Why does one join a poetry site?
Why does one join a poetry site?
I'll tell you why I did
I've been writing songs for forty years
But always kept them hid
But then one day a thought occurred
Why not be proud of me?
These words that come, they're mine alone
They're my totality.
They be the sum of all my life
Oh what a lovely story!
I write of all my troubled times
I write of all my glory
I send all my emotions out
All my feelings on my life
I'll speak of life and family
And all our worldly strife
Then I look at all the views that come
And I know I'm doing well
That folk they show an interest
And some are in the spell
Of all those whims that come to me
And fill this clear white sheet
Knowing I've reached out to folk
Makes my life more complete.

I am a huge fan of the ocean, and sadly I had not been to a coastal area for 14 years! Yes that's right, i have been denied the pleasure of the sea for just over a decade. But of all of that changed this week, as I was whisked away by my colleagues and taken on an unforgettable journey, down to the coast of the Eastern Cape. Hit the jump to read up on this amazing experience.
The company I work for is seriously one of the best ones I have worked for since starting to work several years ago. The benefits are what makes it so great. One of which is the fact that I get to travel to places I have never been before.
I have been to Port Elizabeth only once in my life, but unfortunately I was just too young to remember it, and on top of that, I am told by my parents that the visit was very brief, so that didn't help matters along either. This time around, I was flown in, courtesy of the company I work for. The flight itself was quite uneventful, but the approach to Port Elizabeth was simply breathtaking. Beaches that stretch for massive distance, parallel to the ocean as well as inland. Once we reached the airport we were picked up by my boss and transported to the picturesque Cape St. Francis resort.
Upon arrival we were booked into a quaint little 4 bedroom home called Robin's Rest and after freshening up we were off to symposium where my job was to film the proceedings. The sessions were interrupted by coffee breaks and lunches, and we were treated to some of the most delicious food I had ever had the pleasure to taste. Eastern Cape hospitality is legendary. More specifically, the staff at Cape St. Francis resort is legendary.
Day 2 started with myself and a colleague, as well as TV personality David Viljoen (Kyknet's Tuine en Tossels) took a walk down to the beach (which was less than 200 meters away from where we were sleeping, so you can imagine the peaceful sound of waves lulling me to sleep). Shortly after our return from the excursion to the beach it started to rain lightly, and we proceeded to the second day of the symposium, where I again resumed duties as videographer. I must say I have come to enjoy shooting videos, and it is definitely something I would consider picking up as a hobby. Look out for some videos from me on YouTube in the future.
At the end of day 2 we were treated to a candlelit dinner in the fully transformed hall. We had the distinct pleasure of eating fresh Calamari rings for starters, along with various breads and we were thoroughly spoiled by our gracious hosts at the Cape St. Francis Resort by means of several bottles of wine strewn across the tables. From Dom Peregnon to Sovegnon Blanc. It was definitely magical on the palate. For the main course we were treated to scrumptious chicken and deliciously moist beef with several different types of vegetables and finally to end things off several different types of sweet and delectable deserts, including some of the best Milk Tart I have ever tasted.
We certainly ended the night on a high note and I for one slept fitfully that night. As they say in Afrikaans "Magie vol ogies toe".
Day 3, we were up again at 6:30 and my colleague Lukas and I set out to the beach again where we met with some of the scientists from Cape Town and proceeded on our extended walk up to the lighthouse at the peninsula of the area. It was quite a long and strenuous walk, and I can still feel the burn on my legs, calves and the soles of my feet, but it was well worth it, as we managed to snag quite a few beautiful photos (some of which are here, and some of which will be added later, when Lukas returns from his photographic journey through South Africa). I managed to grab some souvenirs in the form of seashells; something I haven't done in years; as well as some beautifully patterned and coloured rocks.
We then returned to the resort and proceeded to a wonderful breakfast, again prepared by Cape St. Francis Resort, followed by the final two sessions of the symposium.
After the symposium, we booked out of the resort and took a detour to Saint Francis Port and admired some of the picturesque holiday homes as well as some beautiful ocean views. I must make mention of the absolutely gorgeous canals that run in between the holiday homes which allows residents to embark directly onto boats and jet-skis at their own leisure. It is very reminiscent of Venice, at least that's what it reminded me of.
We then proceeded back to the airport in Port Elizabeth and while we were driving I managed to snag some "normal" pictures of this far-off city, which I will likely not see again for quite a long time, but one which I hope to visit again soon. Despite the many warnings by friends and family of the cold Indian Ocean, and the windy nature of Port Elizabeth, the city is (and was on this particular day) quite pleasant. My bouts in the ocean during my stay at Cape St. Francis resort was not freezing cold, and was actually quite pleasant, even though it was quite early in the day. Overall the weather was quite favourable during our stay.
The flight back turned out to be quite interesting. Firstly, between myself and my boss (I got a window seat again – not that it helped much with the dark), was one of several school girls who were making their way to Johannesburg for the much-talked-about Justin Bieber concert. So this was the topic of much interest during the flight. Towards the approach to Johannesburg we experienced quite a bit of turbulence which wasn't all that scary on its own, but looking out the window at the plane, through the misty canopy a thought crept in – John Lithgow in the iconic scene from the Twilight Zone. Check it out below:
It was an absolutely awesome 3 days away, and I managed to return to one of my favourite places in the world. The beach! Through the entire process, I made great new friends, and strengthened bonds with existing ones. I even learned a thing or two.

To the Editor:
This letter is in response to Ken Joseph's letter to the editor printed last week.
Just like you, Mr. Joseph, I can no longer hold back and must comment. I am the father of that special needs student you are referring to.
First of all Mr. Joseph, you were not on the bus that day. Therefore, you don't actually know the events that took place. So, in my opinion, you're not in any political position to say what did or did not happen that day on the bus.
Your letter makes it sound like you're friends with Mr. Keyser. Since you're friends, I'm sure you know some of the story, but you aren't aware of the entire story or the timeline on which all of this started. The incident happened on a Friday and I was not notified until Monday afternoon. You made a statement about "uninformed citizens." You are just as uninformed as the citizens to which you refer. In fact, your letter sounds more like you are just trying to defend your friend. You also make a statement that you would have no problem with any teacher or bus driver physically restraining your child. I'm sure, as a parent, if this situation happened to you, you would have pursued it as well. If not, that sounds troubling to me.
As a parent, it is our responsibility to protect our children. As far as I'm concerned, no adult has the right to physically or mentally abuse a child. Just because you are a teacher or bus driver doesn't mean it's acceptable either. If anyone in the position of a teacher or bus driver can't keep their composure, they shouldn't be in that position to start with.
However, at the beginning of the school year, there was an aide on the bus for two weeks. Somehow after two weeks, someone decided an aide wasn't needed on the bus any longer. Yet, when the decision was made to remove the aide I was never informed. I didn't find out the aide was removed until this incident occurred. If Mr. Keyser felt the need to keep the aide on the bus, why couldn't he have done something about it?

Green Port Hull: Towers plant 'to create 400 jobs'
Posted: May 02, 2014|
A new plant for building wind turbine towers is set to create about 400 jobs in the renewables supply chain. The facility would complement Siemens' Green Port Hull complex.Siemens, which will manufacture and assemble turbines at Alexandra Dock and nearby Paull, will create about 1,000 direct jobs, but suppliers are expected to bring many more.
Hull is now seeking to attract a company to build towers for the generators. As reported in the Mail, East Riding Council leader Stephen Parnaby initially said this plant would create 350 jobs, but the figure has now been revised upwards.
Speaking at a meeting yesterday, Hull City Council's city regeneration and policy manager, Mark Jones, said: "A major concentration for the supply chain is the towers. They're likely to create another 400 jobs. The towers will be sent offshore with the blades."
The most likely tower manufacturer is CS Wind Corporation, with a formal announcement expected any time. It would be the South Korean firm's first facility in Europe.

Mr Jones said: "We're also trying to attract more heavy engineering companies into Hull. We have the ready sites, we have the ready labour services and we have the access to the market.
"We're also working very closely with the university to develop research and development support. If we can link the site with the university then we will start to have a centre of excellence."
Siemens will manufacture turbine blades at its Paull facility before transporting them to Alexandra Dock for shipping out into the North Sea. Rotors of up to 100m long will be driven along a specially-built road. Railway tracks may also be installed to link the two sites.
Mr Jones said since the Siemens announcement, several other wind energy firms had expressed an interest in moving to Hull.
He said: "Other investors are fairly likely. We've had some expressions of interest."
Although international investment is likely to create many jobs for Hull people, there are also opportunities for regional businesses to profit.
The marine transport sector is likely to profit but the first winners will be in the building trade.
Mr Jones said: "This is £310m of construction just for the Siemens site, so we want to make sure some of that flows back locally as well.
"We've seen local shipyards building specialist vessels for the offshore sector.
"There are more things to go at and we're really on the cusp of some momentum."
Building work at Alexandra Dock is set to begin this summer and is scheduled for completion early in 2016.
The Paull factory is likely to be ready later the same year.
Turbines will be assembled at Green Port Hull and shipped out to wind farms in the North Sea. Most will be destined for the Hornsea and Dogger Bank sites.

It's a light-medium yellow gold with a frosted shimmer-sheen. I couldn't think of a cheek product that's quite this yellow. Chanel Shimmering Tweed came the closest, but it is darker, more bronzy. Chanel Empreinte de Chanel is more orange. theBalm Mary Lou-Manizer is a softer, lighter gold with subtler yellow undertones (think more of a white gold). Now, there are several eyeshadows that come close! Chanel Blazing Gold is slightly darker. MAC Goldmine is more orange. Urban Decay Eldorado is perhaps a hint les yellow. Make Up For Ever #10 is a smidgen darker.

Sisterton is a town[1] located on Sweetsister, an island of the Three Sisters, in the Bite. The seat of House Borrell,[2][3] it is considered the most notorious smuggler's den in all of Westeros.[4]
Sisterton is a small, mean town, rank with the odors of pig waste and rotting fish. Its streets are made of mud and planks, while its are houses daub-and-wattle hovels roofed with straw. By the Gallows Gate there are always hanged men with their entrails dangling out.[5] The Night Lamp, a lighthouse tower, and House Borrell's castle, Breakwater, are located at Sisterton.
Prior to becoming a smuggler's den, Sisterton was a pirate's nest.[5]
During the Dance of the Dragons, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon gained Houses Borrell and Sunderland for the blacks during his visit to Sisterton.[3]
While serving as the master of ships for King Robert Baratheon, Lord Stannis Baratheon once sailed to Sisterton with a fleet and made Lord Godric Borrell hang twelve of his friends, probably for smuggling. Stannis threatened to do the same to Godric if any ships were to crash if the Night Lamp ever went dark.[5]

If you have canker sores you know how painful they are. There are numerous products you can buy to treat them. All these products work the same way: once you get a sore you put an ointment or patch on it which contains an ingredient to help deaden the pain. But there has been nothing to actually heal the sore, and certainly nothing to prevent them.
Until now.
Instead of waiting 10-14 days for the sore to go away, while applying messy ointments to help dull the pain, wouldn't it be nice to be able to take a few pills per day and have the pain gone within 2-3 days? Now it's possible. (Please see "Testimonial" page for actual results of a doctor's test.)
Imagine being able to take a few pills per day and then not having to worry about developing new canker sores.
In early 2001 an independent medical researcher decided it was time to develop a cure for canker sores. Not something that just deadens the pain, but actually heals them.
Doctors and researchers believed the sores were caused either by a bacteria or virus. However, after extensive investigation this researcher found the sores are usually caused by a genetic predisposition which prevents the body from adequately absorbing certain nutrients from food. The researcher found a way to treat this condition by means of a pill. After years of testing and refinement, both in the US and abroad, this patent pending product is now available: Canker Cure.
Orders are usually shipped within 24 hours or less.

Oklahoma Outlasts West Virginia
Amath M'Baye scored 19 points and Je'lon Hornbleak added 14 to lead Oklahoma to a 77-70 victory over West Virginia in the third place game of the Old Spice Classic at HP Field House in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
After trailing by four early at 12-8, Oklahoma (4-1) built a 12-point lead midway through the first half and had a 42-37 advantage at the break.
But West Virginia was able to come back and regain the lead, 63-62, with 6:32 remaining on a pair of Gary Browne free throws. The Mountaineers (1-3) then went scoreless on three consecutive possessions, allowing the Sooners to go on a 7-0 run to make it 69-63 after a Hornbeak 3 with 4:21 left.
Juwan Staten's jumper ended West Virginia's drought with four minutes to go, which came ahead of a key sequence in the game with 1:54 remaining and the Mountaineers trailing by five, 71-66.
Oklahoma's Steven Pledger was called for a foul on West Virginia's Deniz Kilicli while Kilicli was trying to establish offensive position, but after going to the replay monitor the officials also called Kilicli for a dead ball foul. Kilicli made one of two from the line while Pledger hit both of his free throws at the other end, and then on Oklahoma's next possession, the Sooners were able to get two more free throws from M'Baye when he was fouled by Staten while attempting to dunk an alley oop pass.
"We've got this rule that if you hit anybody with an elbow or your arm, purposely or inadvertently, then it's a flagrant foul. He got fouled and his arm came up, which happens, and he catches his arm under the guy's chin," said West Virginia coach Huggins. "They get to pick who they want shooting their free throws, they make two, Deniz makes one for two, they get the ball and now we're out of the game."
Two more Pledger free throws after that gave the Sooners a 77-69 lead with 38 seconds left.
"They're a good team and (Oklahoma coach) Lon (Kruger) has done a really good job with them … but the bottom line is we're not tough enough and we're not mentally tough enough yet," said Huggins.
Staten led West Virginia with 15, Kilicli scored 13 (all in the second half) and Browne came off the bench to contribute 13 – 10 of those coming from the free throw line. Overall, West Virginia was 24 of 34 from the line while Oklahoma hit 19 of 25.
The Mountaineers once again struggled shooting the basketball, hitting 21 of 58 for 36.2 percent. The Sooners were much better, making 27 of their 57 shot attempts for 47.4 percent. Oklahoma outscored West Virginia 32-20 in the paint.
"We throw it close four consecutive times, we throw it in the paint and we come up empty," said Huggins. "You can't do that. You either have to have guys you can run screens for and they're going to run off screens and make shots or you've got to be able to throw it close, and hopefully good teams can do both."
The Mountaineers were also unable to cash in on several transition opportunities when they had the numbers in their favor.
"We had at least three two-on-ones and we didn't convert any of them," said Huggins. "That's just bad basketball and twice it was our guards."
Today's Oklahoma game was the third tough opponent the Mountaineers have faced in four games so far this year, West Virginia also falling to Gonzaga and Davidson - playing in tonight's championship game.
"I've always played a tough non-conference schedule but the problem with that is if you don't win enough games you're not going to go to the NCAA tournament," said Huggins. "The flip side of that is you're supposed to be rewarded for playing them. You look at who we've played and the people we've played so far are going to win games, other than maybe one."
Although both teams are in the Big 12, this game does not count in the league standings.
West Virginia returns to the Coliseum to face VMI on Wednesday night in a 7 p.m. game that will be televised locally on Root Sports.

One way Kanak Raj, owner of Crown Cleaners on Broadway, can tell he's been in the business a long time: teenagers who rented their tuxedos for their high school prom are now coming in as adults for formal wear for their children's weddings.
Raj is celebrating 35 years in business in Sonoma.
His first operation was on the Plaza, where he bought an existing operation in 1977. Raj, who holds master's degrees in human resources and business administration and had worked in the electronics industry, was planning to flip the business after a few years. But he quickly became immersed in the business, and raising a family.
When the chance came in 1986 to move into larger space on Broadway (owned by one of his customers), Raj made the move.
Crown specializes in dry cleaning fine fabrics including silk, linen, rayon and fine cotton.
It offers personalized shirt laundry service and same-day service for tablecloths, sheets and linens. All services are performed on site.
Other service includes rug cleaning, alternations and tuxedo rentals. Crown is the only store in town to carry its own stock of formalwear on site, Raj said.
Crown Cleaners, at 568 Broadway, is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 996.2626.

Viewable area bigger than TV display
I'm currently Trying to set up my geforce 8800 GTX on UBUNTU linux 7.10 32 bit
I have a sharp 42 in ch aquos TV(1080P). and I'm connect from the card tot eh TV via the div port with a div to hdmi cable
I've got teh graphics driver to run right, but I'm having problems with my desktop being larger than my tv's display, I'm actually loosing about an inch all round the perimeter for my display, so i can't see menu bars and what not
How can i shrink the size of the image that is being displayed on my TV to make it fit.
In windows vista i simply used the slider tool to shrink the display size till everything fit properly, but i don't see this option in Linux.
Looking at my xorg, i notice its using my tv as a generic monitor, and i believe that to be the crux of the problem

Lumia 520 and Asha 501 are the top devices by buyer's interest at major Cellphone retailer "UniverCell".
It is certainly good news for Nokia that after Lumia 520's success in Indian market the other hotly anticipated device Asha 501 is also catching buyer's interest. Currently at India's top Cellphone retailer "UniverCell" which has most extensive retail coverage in India, both devices are on the top by buyer's daily interest. While it is amazing to see Lumia 520 holding its own after months in launch now, it is equally good to see Asha 501 joining it on the top. More interesting is to see Lumia 510 at no. 5 and thus three Nokia smartphones are in top 5 devices by buyers' daily interest.

Luxurious Chalet Edelweiss in Courchevel 1850
Chalet Edelweiss is a newly-built temple of mountain luxury nestled amongst pine trees in Courchevel 1850, France. Extending over seven floors and offering a massive 32,292 square feet (3,000 square meters) of living space with eight bedrooms and eight bathroom, it successfully blends the line between a catered chalet and boutique hotel. The ski chalet is built around a stunning spiral staircase and has separate accommodation and access for the numerous dedicated staff.
This luxury chalet offers an entire floor of spa facilities with a pool, gym, therapy room and steam room, a private nightclub in the basement, complete with DJ booth, bar and dance floor. Other luxurious details include a private cinema room, two professional chefs and two butlers, and the ability to ski in and out, a private ski instructor and basement parking which is accessed by a car lift. The slopes are so close, all you have to do is just push open the door of the huge ski room, inhale the pine-scented mountain air, step into your skis and head off down the Bellecote piste.
Just like an exclusive, private hotel, the chalet has a large team to look after guests and provide an all-round pampering experience for everyone. The staff area has its own separate entrance and the privacy of guests is important. From the moment you wake up, everything is taken care of. Delicious breakfasts, bookings made for lunch in the mountains, a chauffeur-driven ride into town, private ski lessons and a massage at the end of the day, this fabulous vacation retreat has it all!
This fabulous ski chalet successfully sleeps 16 people, with a rate of $198,435 per week, from here.

"No matter how badly we try to make safe sex fun, it's not," says Thomas Adams, executive director of the AIDS Foundation of St. Louis. "You're in the moment of passion, you want to go and break out the condoms? There are hundreds of tapes that have been filmed throughout the ages trying to make safe sex fun. They've all failed."
But health workers must confront another, more insidious problem. With the advent in the mid-'90s of effective anti-AIDS medicines such as protease inhibitors, researchers soon began finding that the public was increasingly regarding HIV as a manageable disease on the order of diabetes, rather than a death sentence.
"People aren't dying the way they used to," says Adams. "You don't see the people who weigh 97 pounds. You don't see the open lesions all over the face."
Like many AIDS activists, Adams places part of the blame for the shift in public perception on the companies that initially marketed the drug regimens.
"Sex permeates the gay community. It's in our videos. It's in our bars. If you look at the early pharmaceutical advertising for HIV medications, the guys were gorgeous. They were hunky muscular gym bunnies. The message? 'I take this pill and I'll look like that,'" he says. "A friend of mine called them G.O.D.S.: Gays On Disability and Steroids."
Whatever the cocktail of causes, researchers are finding that gay men are increasingly engaging in high-risk sexual activity. And as the January syphilis outbreak demonstrated, many of those having unprotected sex know they're HIV positive.
"It's a real mixture: Fear of HIV has declined. Behavioral studies are showing that gay men are practicing more and more unsafe sex and reporting more and more sexual partners," says the CDC's Fenton. "We have not seen as much of an increase in HIV in some of these big cities. We think what is happening is that positive men are having sex with positive men, and therefore the STD-transmission risk is high but HIV-transmission risk is lower."
Any epidemic is like smoldering coals," says Hilda Chaski Adams, epidemiologist for the City of St. Louis Department of Health. "There's always a baseline level of disease, but then a behavior, or an event, or a practice changes. It can be like throwing gasoline on the coals."
In the case of syphilis among the nation's gays, researchers point to two key environmental shifts: widespread use of the Internet and the rise of methamphetamines.
Point your browser toward the "Men Seeking Men" section of St. Louis' page of the popular Web site Craigslist.com and you'll find the following offer: "Monthly All Male Hotel Sex Party." The poster, who does not reveal his name, adds the following incentive: "LOCATION: DOWNTOWN ST. LOUIS HOTEL. All guys are welcome. No one is discriminated against."
There are dozens of similar sites: Gay.com, Men4SexNow.com and ManMatch.com, to name just a few. One of state epidemiologist Frank Lydon's favorites is GayUniverse.com, which among its many services reviews cruising spots across the U.S.
"I go here to try to get a feel for what's going on," says Lydon, opening GayUniverse.com. The state monitors its employees' Internet use, so Lydon must make note of the date and time. "Someone who doesn't know what I do for a living might think that this was a nonwork-related Web site," he says, navigating his browser to the site's Missouri section. "It gets pretty graphic."
Today's hunt nets an anonymous poster who recounts a racy encounter with an assistant manager for an area Wal-Mart. Apparently the latter works nights and has a taste for fellatio near the "tire and lube area."
"You've got to question some of this stuff," says Lydon. "Is someone just posting to get a reaction out of people? Are they a frustrated author? But you've also got to worry about whether it's true."
Lydon is all but convinced that the Internet fueled January's spate of infection. Unlike previous outbreaks, the rash of syphilis didn't emanate from an adult bookstore, bar or bathhouse. Whereas epidemiologists used to be able to look at a map and find a locus -- a particular neighborhood, business or social circle -- this outbreak was characterized by its diffusion: Those infected live all over the metro area.
"It used to be that when people would come up positive for HIV or STDs, health workers would ask the names of who they've been with," says AIDS Foundation director Adams. "Now I'm hearing reports that people can't tell them their [partners'] names but they can tell them their screen names. It's anonymous sex taken one step way further."
As with earlier syphilis epidemics, St. Louis still dawdles a few years behind the national trend. But if the past few years are any indication, the city is primed for a massive syphilis outbreak in the homosexual community.
In 1999 the national syphilis rate was at its lowest level since 1941, the first year the CDC began collecting infection-rate data. That year researchers saw an 88 percent decrease in syphilis rates from their 1990 peak. Nearly 75 percent of those cases occurred in only 9 percent of the nation's counties, prompting then-U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher to become the latest in a long line of public health officials to dream of eradicating the disease.

McLaughlin and Dinsmore Register Top Times in NWC so Far this Season
Lead Willamette at Charles Bowles Spring Break Classic
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University athletes Ryan McLaughlin (Sr., Milwaukie, OR/Milwaukie HS) and Jaela Dinsmore (Jr., Hines, OR/Burns HS) each recorded a top time in the Northwest Conference so far this season during the second day of the Charles Bowles Spring Break Classic on Friday, March 18 at the Charles Bowles Track.
McLaughlin won the men's 800-meter run with a time of 1:57.28. His time ranks first in the NWC in 2011, surpassing the previous top time of 1:58.82 by Avery Neal of Pacific University on March 4.
Dinsmore took first place in the women's 200-meter dash in 26.20 seconds. Dinsmore's time improved on the former NWC-leading time of 26.44 achieved by Cheyenne Feliz of Lewis & Clark College on March 5.
Dinsmore also won the women's 400-meter dash with a time of 59.6h. Samantha Nihm (Fr., Tigard, OR/Southridge HS) placed second at both 200 meters (26.74 seconds) and 400 meters (1:00.3h).
Other winners for the Willamette women's team on Friday were Sally Venable (Jr., Ventura, CA/Foothill Technology HS) in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and Danielle Barnett (Sr., Myrtle Point, O/Myrtle Point HS) in the long jump.
Venable won the steeplechase with a time of 11:43.96. She set a personal record in the event. Finishing second was Sarah McSweeney (Jr., Petaluma, CA/Casa Grande HS) of WU, who completed the race in 11:52.35.
Barnett won the long jump with an NWC qualifying distance of 15'8.25".
Robin Smith (Fr., Tillamook, OR/Tillamook HS) of Willamette placed second in the women's 100-meter dash in a very close race won by Rebecca Stanton of Corban. Stanton took first place by just 0.07, as she crossed the finish line in 13.58 seconds, compared to 13.65 seconds for Smith.
McLaughlin was won of five members of the Bearcat men's team who earned victories on Friday.
Paul Winger (Jr., Bonney Lake, WA/Bonney Lake HS) won the 400-meter dash in 50.54 seconds. He won by more than half a second over Seth James of Corban, who took second in 51.19 seconds.
Matt Parker (Jr., Portland, OR/Lincoln HS) finished first in the 1,500-meter run. His time was 4:03.00.
Also earning wins for Willamette were Max Faulhaber (So., Eugene, OR/Sheldon HS) in the shot put and David Oppat (Sr., Beaverton, OR/Southridge HS) in the discus. Faulhaber registered a throw of 40'7.50" in the shot put, while Oppat's top distance in the discus was 150'11". The throw by Oppat placed him second in the NWC so far this spring.
