Just four weeks after the husband of celebrity chef Nigella Lawson was pictured with his hand around her throat, he announced via newspaper that he is filing for divorce.
"I am sorry to announce that Nigella Lawson and I are getting divorced," multimillionaire Charles Saatchi told the Daily Mail on Sunday. "I feel that I have clearly been a disappointment to Nigella during the last year or so, and I am disappointed that she was advised to make no public comment to explain that I abhor violence of any kind against women, and have never abused her physically in any way."
The couple made headlines last month after Mr. Saatchi was seen grabbing his wife's throat and tweaking her nose for 27 minutes in pictures taken June 9 during an argument at a London restaurant, the Mail reported.
Within hours of the pictures being published in a Sunday newspaper, Ms. Lawson and her son Bruno left Mr. Saatchi's home, and they have not spoken to each other since, the Mail said.
The 70-year-old tycoon said he made the "heartbreaking" decision to divorce his wife of ten years, because she didn't defend his reputation following release of the damning photos.
"There was no grip, it was a playful tiff. The pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place. Nigella's tears were because we both hate arguing, not because she had been hurt," he said. "We had made up by the time we were home. The paparazzi were congregated outside our house after the story broke yesterday morning, so I told Nigella to take the kids off till the dust settled."
Ms. Lawson, known as the "queen of food porn," has written several successful cookbooks and hosted TV shows in Britain and the United States.

Onigiri Escape
Meyo Studios
- June 24, 2014
( 786)
Help Onigiri escape from the kitchen full of evil minions. Fight your way out by maximizing all the skills you have, run, jump, dodge, flap, and blast ki energy. Onigiri Escape is an endless running game in retro Gameboy style. Unlock achievements and get the highest score among your friends. Support both phone and tablet.
It's a fun mechanic that feels fresh for the genre and really makes Onigiri Escape a must play game. - SuperGameDroid
It's a really fun runner, but there's a few things. It's an interesting, fun little running game. But it's a bit difficult and not in a fun way. The little side missions are near the edge and your speed causes you to fall off the platform once you've beaten it. The problem is similar with the "Star" power-up. It makes you invincible but causes you to go too fast to stay on the platforms. Fun game, but difficult.
It needs a game tutorial The game seems simple, just run and jump. But the cage match could use a tutorial or a manual. I need to pay a lot of times to figure out how the game works. I still can't figure out what I'm supposed to do in the rotating rice bowl cage match.
Good... ... But the invincibility pick up makes the game too hard as you practically cannot jump between more than 3 platforms, as you move too fast.
Fun. This is sooo cool. It reminds me of the gameboy. Great way to kill time as well.
Good Quality Nice and cute, graphic is cute., game is simple but kill time. excellent job.
Nice Very fun.. worked 1 time now only opens play store. Tried reinstalling... next reboot ...

A frustrated QB Tom Brady says 'I think you let your emotions get into it and feelings and so forth'
Originally posted on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 10/10/13
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady hasn't been in this situation for quite some time, sure the offense has had bad days in the past, but it's usually one game. However, in 2013 the struggles have been constant as a young receiving corps along with injuries to key players WR Danny Amendola, TE Rob Gronkowski, and RB Shane Veeren haven't been able to come together all at one time. Brady says he just wants to score points, but last week in Cincinnati the offense could only muster two field goals. "I just want us to score points, so whatever it takes to score points, that's what matters," Brady said, via Zuri Berry of Boston.com. "I think you let your emotions get into it and feelings and so forth – I mean realistically, you have to come up with a plan. We have to figure out how to score points. "I said after the game, we're not going to win many games scoring six points. So, if we score six points this weekend, we probably won't win. We've got to do a lot better than that."

A Gay Ol' Time—For a quarter century, the New Mexico Gay Men's Chorus has been singing like angels for appreciative audiences in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and beyond. Founded in 1981 as the Brash Ensemble, the group has gone through plenty of changes over the years, but one thing has always remained consistent: the high quality of the music.

Leo and Loin
An oddball collaboration comes to the Blue Dragon
By Steven Robert Allen
Leo Neufeld and Daddy Long Loin make for an unusual duo. Neufeld is perhaps Albuquerque's best-known portrait painter, a soft-spoken neo-realist with an enviable knack for capturing the intellect, personality and emotions of his subjects. As an artist, he strives to do more than merely replicate the outward appearance of the diverse people he paints. You don't look at one of Neufeld's paintings; you look into it.
Book Review
The Devil's in the Details
Review by Lisa Lenard-Cook
Special Topics in Calamity Physics
The quotation-spouting, citation-dependent young narrator of Marisha Pessl's debut novel, Special Topics in Calamity Physics, can be forgiven her tendency toward attribution. With a peripatetic, charismatic, cynical and movie-star-handsome professor father who is given to haughty pronouncements ("It might remind us that no matter the tragedy there's always the world beyond it. 'Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?'") and a beautiful mother who died far young, Blue van Meer is a teen who not only has learned her lessons too well but has taken them to telltale (Poe, E. A.) heart.

The perfect way to celebrate Halloween (it's just a jump to the left) is to get a ticket to Musical Theatre Southwest's production of The Rocky Horror Show. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the film and seeing a local production will make the musical come to life. With tickets only $20-22, this show is a local gem. So put your hands on your hips and do the pelvic thrust over to the MTS box office or www.musicaltheatresw.com.

Sen. Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. announced on Monday (October 5) that he run for the vice presidency in the 2016 elections.
"I have decided to run for Vice President in the May 2016 elections," Marcos said in a statement posted on his website.
The senator first entered politics when he was elected vice governor of Ilocos Norte in 1981 at the age of 23. He then became the governor of the province, serving 1983 to 1986.
This was cut short by the 1986 EDSA Revolution. Several years after his family went into exile in the United States, Marcos returned to the Philippines.
He ran as Ilocos Norte second district representative in 1992 and won a three-year term. Read More…

Gun solution that respects 2nd amendment
President Obama recently stated that, in the face of increasing gun violence, the road to stricter gun control laws should obsess us. Many people, along with the NRA, believe that our second amendment right to bear arms is important and should be protected, with the problem being that too many mentally ill people continue to have access to guns. I agree that the second amendment grants us an important right, and I have a suggestion that addresses both viewpoints.
When a person applies for a job as a police officer, an occupation that involves carrying a gun, one of the steps on their path to employment is to undergo and pass a psychological screening, and I believe requiring potential purchasers of guns to pass the same screening a police applicant must pass would be an ideal solution for both groups. In the past, tightening gun laws has proven ineffective all too often, while a psychological screening along with the background check currently issued for people wishing to purchase guns would help weed out those who would cause the greatest risk to the public if given access to firearms.
People merely seeking a firearm for protection would have nothing to worry about once their screening results come back, and they would then be able to exercise their second amendment right. The only ones who would have to fear greater difficulty acquiring guns under such a measure would be the very people we are trying to keep guns away from in the first place.
Mike Waters
Defund Obamacare
We have one last chance to stop the 2,700 page monstrosity known as "Obamacare" with its 10,561 pages of accompanying regulations by defunding it. In addition to health care, these regulations will control nearly everything we do. More will get coverage, but when fully implemented, only the young, middle aged and healthy will treatment. Why? Fewer doctors.
Write and call senators and representatives to defund. The government is shut down every three day weekend and Thanksgiving without harm and has been shut down a dozen times from 1975 to 1995 without harm.
If we don't stop Obamacare now, the resulting higher insurance costs, part-time work (39 hours), taxes on health insurance, fewer jobs from businesses regulated out, and other problems will push us into second-world status.
Ask for buying medical insurance across state lines as we do car in surance; for medical savings accounts; and for tort reform. Republians proposed this earlier, but the media didn't report it.

Boulder Future Salon Message Board › Future salon news bits from last 2 months
|Wayne R.
user 3177554
Group Organizer
Boulder, CO
Hi Futurists!
Got some news bits for you all. Back in April I got snowed under with work, and didn't read any news for about 2 weeks. Since then I've resumed posting news bits online, but let them pile up because I never had a large, unbroken block of time to go through the news bits. I finally went through them this weekend, and today I selected a handful of news bits that I thought were most important that I wanted to share with you all. I got a "human effects matrix" which is of immediate practical application for choosing supplements, news about what we can learn about the current state of technology (car tracking and face recognition) from the Boston Marathon bombing event, and a study that shows patents don't encourage innovation -- at all. Which I thought was a very important result.
I'll send out more comprehensive emails in the next couple of weeks.
As for the meetings, yes, we need to get organized and get the meetings going -- the problem is I haven't had time to find a venue, and BPL kinda pulled the rug out from under us by scheduling up the weekends with their own events at all their branches. I guess we can't blame them for wanting to use their own facilities, but it means we have to find a new venue. A few people have suggested ideas to look into and if you have any suggestions please send to me. I'll be looking for a new venue over the next few weeks. With luck we might be able to get a meeting organized for July.
=== news bits: highlights from April/May 2013 ===
Human effect matrix: effect of supplements based on 17,069 studies, classified by evidence, magnitude of effect, and scientific consensus.
Mice, men, and fate. Commentary on the study of individuality in genetically identical mice. "Is success a matter of genes? Nurture? Luck? Finch and Kirkwood's review of aging showed decisively (if in a roundworm) that luck can play a role in longevity, even when practically all else is equal. Kempermann's new mouse study shows that chance plays a role in cognitive development. For reasons as yet unknown, possibly having to do with intrauterine environments or randomness in the process by which individual genes are switched on, some mice became more active, others more passive; those that explored to a greater degree subsequently grew more neurons in their hippocampus."
The case against patents. "The case against patents can be summarized briefly: there is no empirical evidence that they serve to increase innovation and productivity, unless productivity is identified with the number of patents awarded -- which, as evidence shows, has no correlation with measured productivity. This disconnect is at the root of what is called the 'patent puzzle': in spite of the enormous increase in the number of patents and in the strength of their legal protection, the US economy has seen neither a dramatic acceleration in the rate of technological progress nor a major increase in the levels of research and development expenditure." If patents were abolished entirely, there would be no decrease in innovation.
Failed: facial recognition & Boston bombing. "Facial-recognition software did not identify the men in the ball caps. The technology came up empty even though both Tsarnaevs' images exist in official databases." "The images captured on the street, both from surveillance cameras and smartphones, were not good enough to deliver high accuracy matching. Recall the video from the Lord & Taylor's surveillance cameras. [...] There's too much downtilt plus the subjects are tending to look the other way, plus the pixel density is too low (standard definition camera with a ~15 foot wide FoV)."
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace system. The Mercedes-Benz mbrace system is a system for connecting the car to the internet, and one of its features is being able to track a car remotely from a browser or cell phone.
Meet the first digital generation. Wired profile of people born in 1993. "A Pew Internet survey from 2010 ranked the seven main ways teenagers communicated. Among then-17-year-olds, who are 20 now, in descending order these were text messaging, cell phone calls, landline calls, face- to-face, social networks, instant messaging, and -- dead last -- email. (Written letters didn't even merit a footnote.) Teenage girls averaged 80 texts a day, Pew found. Boys, around 30." "Previous generations expressed these kinds of personae and affiliations through the clothes they wore or cars they drove. When you can construct your own identity—sorry, identities—online and flaunt them to 10,000 times as many people as might ever see your bumper sticker, what difference does it make whether you drive a pickup or a Volvo? That process of endless transformation has always been an important aspect of growing up -- one minute you're an emo kid, the next you're a goth -- but now it takes place in a competitive arena with a massive audience. On the Internet, status is measured in friends, followers, retweets, and pageviews." "She is casual about what some might consider the risks of oversharing. In the future, she says, it won't matter if you did post a picture of yourself covered in chocolate, because 'the people who care will all retire and the world will be run by my generation.'" "Videogames have also shaped how millennials strategize about life. These games impose a worldview subtly different from the precomputer one, in which a game required formal, transparent rules. Millennials grew up playing games into which creators had inserted hacks, shortcuts, and trapdoors for players to ferret out—or learn of from friends. 'The evolution of games started to mimic the complexity of real life.' Indeed, you can't navigate modern life without cheat codes." "SoundCloud, a popular music site, takes this interactivity to an extreme, allowing users to post comments not only about a song but second by second during a song. The musicians get feedback on every single note."
Anatomy of a robocar accident. Brad Templeton predicts that when the first robocar accidents start happening, everybody will get sued -- drivers/occupants of the car, manufacturers, software developers, component developers, etc."There will be no shortage of lawyers out to make a reputation on an early case here, and several defendants in every case." There is likely to be a 360 degree 3D view of everything, video, and detailed sensor recordings to be used as evidence in lawsuits. But as long as the robocar makers are doing their job of meeting their projections for how much they are reducing accidents, the cost of such settlements will have been factored into the insurance premiums, and settlements will be made without problems.
Last of a breed: postal workers who decipher bad addresses. "At the height of the program, in 1997, the centers processed 19 billion images annually, about 10 percent of all mail at the time, the post office said. In the last year, this center, and the one in Wichita, Kan., that will close in September, deciphered just 2.4 billion images, or a mere 1.5 percent of the mail, the post office said."
Crime and privacy. "In 1997 I predicted in my book The Dilbert Future that someday all crimes would be solvable. My thinking was that video surveillance and other technology, such as electronic noses, would make it nearly impossible to get away with anything illegal. There will always be crimes of passion, and there will always be insane criminals, and criminals who didn't get the memo that crime doesn't pay. And a few geniuses will always find a way to stay ahead of technology. Crime itself will never go to zero, but I'm going to double down on my prediction that technology will someday make it nearly impossible to get away with crime." Scott Adams goes on to say that the loss of privacy will lead to legalization. A loss of privacy reveals how many people are involved in a particular activity, then aw enforcement has no practical way to handle all of the "criminals" who are now exposed, so laws evolve to reflect what is practical. While I think this is plausible, I don't think it has to happen the way he describes. There is an advantage to keeping things illegal. Having so many things illegal that just about everybody breaks some law somewhere from time to time is extremely useful when coupled with prosecutorial discretion. Let's say you piss off a police officer, prosecutor, judge, or politician -- someone with political power. They can look through all the databases of all your activities and find some law that you broke and put you in jail for 25 years. Technically, you broke some law but your real crime was pissing off a powerful person. This is how you have a "nation of men" with the facade of a "nation of laws".
Markets erode moral values. "In a number of different experiments, several hundred subjects were confronted with the moral decision between receiving a monetary amount and killing a mouse versus saving the life of a mouse and foregoing the monetary amount." "To study immoral outcomes, we studied whether people are willing to harm a third party in exchange to receiving money. Harming others in an intentional and unjustified way is typically considered unethical." "If a market offer was accepted a trade was completed, resulting in the death of a mouse. Compared to the individual condition, a significantly higher number of subjects were willing to accept the killing of a mouse in both market conditions. This is the main result of the study. Thus markets result in an erosion of moral values." The experimenters think this shows that people tend to ignore their own moral standards when acting as market participants, searching for the cheapest electronics, fashion or food.
Breadwinning wives and nervous husbands. Apparently, in a result that will surprise no one, there is a sharp drop-off in marriages at the point where the woman starts earning more than the man, more divorces, and in couples that do stay together, they are less happy when the woman earns more.

Welcome, robot overlords. Please don't fire us? "The question we want to answer is simple: If capital-biased technological change is already happening -- not a lot, but just a little bit -- what trends would we expect to see? What are the signs of a computer-driven economy? First and most obviously, if automation were displacing labor, we'd expect to see a steady decline in the share of the population that's employed. Second, we'd expect to see fewer job openings than in the past. Third, as more people compete for fewer jobs, we'd expect to see middle-class incomes flatten in a race to the bottom. Fourth, with consumption stagnant, we'd expect to see corporations stockpile more cash and, fearing weaker sales, invest less in new products and new factories. Fifth, as a result of all this, we'd expect to see labor's share of national income decline and capital's share rise. These trends are the five horsemen of the robotic apocalypse, and guess what? We're already seeing them, and not just because of the crash of 2008. They started showing up in the statistics more than a decade ago."
The first digital, bug-like compound eye camera sees 180 degrees, near-infinite depth of field (DoF). "While you and I, and most other animals on Earth, are equipped with just a pair of standard eyes (simple eyes in biological parlance), some living creatures have compound eyes that are made of thousands of ommatidia. Each ommatidium has a cornea to focus the light, a long cone full of photoreceptors, and a single axon (neuron) link to the optic nerve at the end, to connect it to the brain. In essence, each ommatidium is an individual, low-resolution eye. The input from the thousands of ommatidia is combined by the brain, to form a high-resolution image. [...] To create a digital compound eye, the researchers attached microlenses to individual photodiodes with flexible wires, and then embedded them in a flexible polymer. The polymer is then inflated, forming a hemispherical, bug eye shape. Voilà: An artificial, digital compound eye. To create an actual image, software processes each of the individual microlens/photodiode inputs, and stitches them together in a similar way to software that stitches together a panoramic photo."

The key to growth: race with the machines. Erik Brynjolfsson says, in 1997 Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov, but today, the chess grand master is neither man nor machine, but a man-machine team working together. He says this is the solution to the economic dilemma of the decoupling of income from productivity -- humans need to stop "racing against the machines", and "race with the machines". What I don't understand, though, is what this implies we should do different. Is not a modern corporation a "man-machine team"? No corporation today consists of only humans or only machines. And the "decoupling" of productivity and income shows no signs of abatement.

No. 2 Fighting Irish Visit Iowa Tuesday For NCAA Second Round Game
The Fighting Irish (32-1) tipped off this year's NCAA Championship in fine fashion with a wire-to-wire 97-64 victory over Tennessee-Martin on Sunday afternoon in Iowa City. Notre Dame shot a blistering .567 in the win, its best mark in an NCAA tournament game since 2000.
Freshman guard Jewell Loyd scored a career-high 27 points for Notre Dame, while junior guard Kayla McBride added her first double-double of the year (third of her career) with 22 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Quick Hitters
Other Notre Dame Notables
The Notre Dame-Iowa Series
The Last Time Notre Dame And Iowa Met
It was a historic win for the Fighting Irish, who knocked off the first top-10 opponent in program history, and did it on the road, no less. Senior All-America guard (and current Notre Dame associate coach) Beth Morgan (Cunningham) added 12 points and eight rebounds, as the Fighting Irish locked down Iowa, holding the Hawkeyes to a .305 field goal percentage and just 21 first-half points, keeping the hosts at bay the remainder of the evening.
Nadine Domond scored a team-high 16 points, while Angela Hamblin chipped in 12 points for Iowa.
Other Notre Dame-Iowa Series Tidbits
Notre Dame vs. The Big Ten Conference
Of note, Notre Dame has won 17 of its last 23 games vs. Big Ten schools, including a current string of six in a row since Minnesota ended the 2008-09 Fighting Irish season with a 79-71 win in the first round of the NCAA Championship at Purcell Pavilion.
Iowa will be the third Big Ten opponent on Notre Dame's 2012-13 schedule. On Nov. 9, the Fighting Irish opened their season with a 57-51 victory over No. 19/21 Ohio State in the second annual Carrier Classic aboard the USS Yorktown in Mount Pleasant, S.C. Then, on Dec. 29, Notre Dame defeated No. 11 Purdue, 74-47 at Purcell Pavilion.
Irish In The NCAA Championship
In addition, Notre Dame's current streak of 18 consecutive NCAA Championship appearances ranks sixth in the record books (and eighth-longest at any time in tournament history).
Here are some other facts about the Fighting Irish in the "Big Dance" (see pp. 166-186 in this year's regular season media guide for box scores, results and records):
Sowing The Seeds
The Fighting Irish are 12-1 (.923) all-time as a top seed in the tournament, winning six in a row to claim the 2001 national championship, then going 5-1 last year on the way to an NCAA national runner-up finish before opening this year's tournament with a victory over UT Martin on Sunday afternoon.
Notre Dame has been awarded a top-eight seed for the 14th time in its 20 NCAA Championship visits (and a top-four seed for the seventh time). Including Sunday's win, the Fighting Irish are 24-5 (.828) all-time as the higher seed in NCAA tournament play.
It Hinges On Defense
Notre Dame's two losses to teams scoring 60 points or fewer both came at the hands of top-seeded clubs -- Penn State (55-49) in the 2004 East Regional semifinals, and North Carolina (60-51) in the second round of the 2007 Dallas Region.
Stoking The Offensive Fires
Bonus Basketball
Notre Dame is 20-17 (.541) all-time when going to overtime, including an 8-4 record in its last 12 contests. This season, the Fighting Irish are 2-0 in added time, most recently pulling out a 96-87 triple-overtime victory against No. 3 Connecticut on March 4 at Purcell Pavilion (in what was the longest game in program history).
Don't Mess With Tradition
And Don't Forget The Lime Green Shirts
Start Me Up
The 2000-01 squad was midway through its run to a national championship at the 33-game mark, owning a 31-2 record, while last year's club fell to 30-3 after losing its 33rd game (the BIG EAST final at Connecticut) before embarking on its charge to the NCAA title game.
Streak Stats
What's more, the Fighting Irish have posted the third-longest winning streak by any team in the modern era (since 1950) of Notre Dame athletics. Only the 1965-67 men's tennis team (29) and 2001 softball team (33) have posted longer winning streak among Fighting Irish squads (aside from a pair of lengthy success strings by the men's/women's fencing programs, which compete in dual matches, but rely on individual wins in each weapon to achieve NCAA Championship titles).
Notre Dame has strung together 13 double-digit winning streaks in the women's basketball program's 36-year history, with 11 of those coming during the tenure of Hall of Fame head coach Muffet McGraw (1987-88 to present).
Thirty Deeds
Not only does this represent the first time the Fighting Irish have posted three consecutive 30-win seasons, but it also is the second year in a row they have registered their 30th win prior to the start of the NCAA Championship.
Road Warriors
The highlight of this current run came on Jan. 5, 2013, when Notre Dame edged No. 1 Connecticut, 73-72, in Storrs, Conn., earning its fourth all-time win over a top-ranked opponent and first-ever victory on the road.
Prior to the past two years, the school record for consecutive regular season road wins was held by Notre Dame's 2000-01 national championship team that won its first 10 road outings before a 54-53 loss at No. 11/14 Rutgers on Feb. 17, 2001.
The Fighting Irish also have won a school-record 16 consecutive BIG EAST Conference regular season road games, with their last loss coming on Feb. 28, 2011 (a last-second 70-69 loss at No. 12/11 DePaul).
The previous school record for consecutive BIG EAST regular season road wins was seven, set numerous times, most recently crossing between the 2001-02 and 2002-03 campaigns.
The previous Notre Dame record for consecutive regular season road victories in any conference was 15, which the Fighting Irish set from Feb. 25, 1989-Feb. 14, 1991 during their time in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (Horizon League).
A Class By Themselves
Prior to the 2011-12 season, the highest four-year win total by a senior class was 109, set by the Class of 2001 that included (among others) consensus national player of the year and 12-year WNBA veteran Ruth Riley and current Fighting Irish assistant coach Niele Ivey.
The Rare Air Up There
Starting with its 2011 NCAA Elite Eight win over Tennessee in Dayton, Ohio, Notre Dame has gone a combined 10-1 against Connecticut and Tennessee, with no other senior class at any school having compiled that many wins against those two traditional powers since 1988-89 (when Connecticut made its first NCAA postseason appearance).
Finding A Way
In this case, the Fighting Irish flipped the script with a 40-10 surge that covered 14:55 during the middle of the game, starting with 3:56 left in the first half when Notre Dame trailed 39-25, and ending when the Fighting Irish held a 65-49 lead at the 9:01 mark of the second half.
The 15-point comeback win tied Notre Dame's largest rally at home in its BIG EAST era (72-65 win over Pittsburgh on Feb. 28, 2006 - coincidentally, also a Senior Night game), and it was the largest for the Fighting Irish in any contest since Nov. 26, 2011, when Notre Dame tied a school record with an 18-point comeback win (56-54) over No. 7/6 Duke in the title game of the Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas.
What's more, the 31-point swing in momentum was the largest in a Fighting Irish game since March 30, 2001, against Connecticut in the NCAA Women's Final Four national semifinals at the Savvis Center (now Scottrade Center) in St. Louis. On that night, Notre Dame trailed the Huskies, 47-31, with 2:02 left in the first half, but stormed back to win, 90-75 en route to the program's first national championship.
Spreading The Wealth
Everyone Pitches In
Thus far in 2012-13, it would appear the Fighting Irish are making this mission truly a team effort. On the scoring side, 10 of the 11 players on the roster have scored in double figures at least once this season, including junior forward Ariel Braker (eight times, after having two double-figure games in her first two seasons combined), sophomore guards Madison Cable (three times) and Whitney Holloway (once - the first double-digit games of Cable and Holloway's careers) and freshman guards Jewell Loyd (20 times) and Michaela Mabrey (three times).
On the backboards, junior forward Natalie Achonwa is second in the BIG EAST at 9.3 rebounds per game and has piled up 16 of her 18 career double-digit rebounding games this year, including the program's first 20-rebound outing since Jan. 20, 1988 (Heidi Bunek at DePaul). The Guelph, Ontario, native, and 2012 Canadian Olympic Team member also has a BIG EAST-leading (and school record-tying) 16 double-doubles (seven against ranked opponents, eight in conference play) after logging one double-double in her career prior to this season.
The Best Things In Life Are Free
Through 33 games, the Fighting Irish rank third in the nation in free throw percentage (as of March 18), shooting a remarkable .801 (593-of-740) from the charity stripe, including a season-high .950 (19-of-20) on Sunday in its NCAA Championship first-round win over Tennessee-Martin (not including a 6-for-6 effort in the BIG EAST Championship final at Connecticut on March 12).
On average, Notre Dame is getting to the line better than 22 times per game, converting nearly 18 free throws a night. At the same time, the Fighting Irish have made almost 33 percent more foul shots than their opponents have attempted (593 made, 446 opponent attempts).
Last year, Notre Dame set a school record by connecting at a .763 clip from the foul line, leading the BIG EAST with a stellar .807 percentage during conference play.
Junior guard Kayla McBride has had the most success cashing in on this strategy during the past two seasons, making 77 of 84 free throws (.917) to lead the BIG EAST (and ranking second during conference play with an .891 percentage).
McBride is one of four Notre Dame players who appear among the top 15 in the current BIG EAST free throw rankings, with freshman guard Jewell Loyd ranking third (.830), senior guard Skylar Diggins placing fourth (.819) and junior forward Natalie Achonwa ranking 11th (.791).
For her career, McBride has logged an .889 free throw percentage, putting her ahead of Alicia Ratay's school-record mark (.872) from 1999-2003.
Irish Trio Collects All-Region Honors
Senior guard/co-captain Skylar Diggins earned her fourth all-region citation in as many seasons, while junior forward Natalie Achonwa and junior guard Kayla McBride both garnered all-region honors for the first time in their respective careers. The trio is among the 52 all-region selections, and three of the 12 honorees from the WBCA's Region I, which includes players from schools in the BIG EAST, Atlantic 10, America East and Northeast conferences, as well as the Ivy Group and Patriot League. All told, 14 Fighting Irish players have collected all-region laurels a total of 26 times in the program's 36-year history.
Diggins' selection is particularly noteworthy, as she becomes the first Notre Dame player to collect four all-region citations in her career, surpassing three-time selections Ruth Riley (1999-2001) and Jacqueline Batteast (2002, 2004-05). All three of those players also made the 10-member State Farm Coaches All-America Team at some point during their careers, with Riley making the 2001 squad, Batteast doing likewise in 2005 and Diggins the most recent Fighting Irish All-America choice in both 2011 and 2012.
From this year's list of 52 all-region nominees, a group of 10 will be chosen by the State Farm Coaches' All-America Team selection committee for this year's State Farm Coaches' All-America Team. The 2013 State Farm Coaches' All-America Team will be announced at 2:10 p.m. (ET) on April 6 at New Orleans Arena during events surrounding the NCAA Women's Final Four.
Those all-region nominees not chosen for the 10-member State Farm Coaches' All-America Team will be designated as State Farm Coaches' All-America Honorable Mentions, a status earned by 11 Fighting Irish players, all since 1991 -- Karen Robinson (1991), Katryna Gaither (1996, 1997), current associate coach Beth (Morgan) Cunningham (1996, 1997), Riley (1999, 2000), Batteast (2002, 2004), Megan Duffy (2005, 2006), Charel Allen (2007), Diggins (2010), Lindsay Schrader (2010), Natalie Novosel (2011, 2012) and Devereaux Peters (2011, 2012).
Irish Clean Up On BIG EAST Awards Circuit
For the second consecutive season, senior guard/co-captain Skylar Diggins was selected as the BIG EAST Player of the Year. She was joined on the BIG EAST awards dais by freshman guard Jewell Loyd, who was named the BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, and head coach Muffet McGraw, who took home Coach of the Year honors.
All three award recipients were chosen for their respective honors through a vote of the league's head coaches, who were not allowed to select their own players. This marks just the second time since the BIG EAST began sponsoring women's basketball in 1982-83 that a school other than Connecticut swept the conference's top three individual awards -- in that inaugural '82-83 season, St. John's had all three honorees (Player of the Year Debbie Beckford, Freshman of the Year Ann Marie McNamee and Coach of the Year Don Perrelli).
Diggins is the first Notre Dame player to be BIG EAST Player of the Year twice (first in any conference since Karen Robinson won consecutive Midwestern Collegiate Conference/Horizon League honors in 1990 and 1991), and one of three Fighting Irish players to earn the award, following the path blazed in 2001 by consensus National Player of the Year Ruth Riley and 2005 recipient Jacqueline Batteast. Diggins also is the first player from a school other than Connecticut to be chosen as BIG EAST Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons since 1985-87, when Villanova's Shelly Pennefather became the only other non-Husky to take home the award in consecutive years.
Meanwhile, Loyd is the third Notre Dame player to be selected as BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, and the first since Batteast in 2002 (the other was Alicia Ratay in 2000).
Both Diggins and Loyd also earned all-conference recognition, with Diggins a unanimous first-team all-BIG EAST pick for the third consecutive season (joining Riley as the only Notre Dame players to achieve that distinction in their careers), while Loyd was an honorable mention all-league choice, as well as a unanimous selection to the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team.
Diggins was joined on the All-BIG EAST First Team by junior forward Natalie Achonwa and junior guard Kayla McBride, the first all-conference citation of each player's career. It marked the third consecutive year the Fighting Irish had three first-team all-BIG EAST honorees and just the second time in program history that Notre Dame has fielded four all-conference selections in the same year. In 2001, Riley and current Fighting Irish assistant coach Niele Ivey were first-team selections, while Ratay copped third-team status and Kelley Siemon was an honorable mention pick.
Prior to 2010-11, the Notre Dame women's basketball program had never had three players garner first-team all-conference honors in the same season in any of their league memberships (BIG EAST since 1995-96, plus Midwestern Collegiate Conference/Horizon League from 1988-95 and North Star Conference from 1983-88). Notre Dame also is the first school in BIG EAST history to have three first-team all-conference selections in three consecutive seasons, and just the second program to have three seasons (at any time) with three first-team all-BIG EAST players -- the latter feat is something only Connecticut (2001-02, 2007-08 and 2009-10) has managed to duplicate since the BIG EAST began women's basketball competition in 1982-83.
McGraw now is a two-time BIG EAST Coach of the Year, having previously earned the honor in 2001. What's more, she is a five-time conference Coach of the Year, also garnering recognition from the East Coast Conference (1983 - when she coached at Lehigh), North Star Conference (1988) and the Midwestern Collegiate Conference/Horizon League (1991).
McGraw's Milestone Moment
McGraw also became the eighth-fastest Division I coach to reach the 700-win milestone, hitting the mark in 957 games and quicker than several other notable coaches such as North Carolina's Sylvia Hatchell (966 games), Ohio State's Jim Foster (973), former Virginia coach Debbie Ryan (998) and two now-deceased Hall of Fame coaches -- Sue Gunter (1,004, most notably at LSU) and Kay Yow (1,021, primarily at North Carolina State).
Diggins Challenging School Records
The Diggins Factor
Upon closer examination, Notre Dame's 19 losses in Diggins' career primarily have been ones that could have gone either way, with 11 decided by single digits (six were in doubt inside the final minute), and two that went to overtime.
With Diggins in uniform, the Fighting Irish have posted three of the top 10 most prolific offensive seasons in school history, averaging 78.9 ppg. last year, after logging 77.0 ppg. in 2010-11, and 77.2 ppg. in her freshman season of 2009-10. Notre Dame is on pace to mirror those figures this season, currently averaging 81.3 ppg. (which ranked third nationally as of March 18).
In addition, thanks to Diggins' penchant for steals (she has a 2.51 spg. career mark that is fourth-best in school history), the Fighting Irish have recorded the top three single-season steal marks in program history with 502 thefts last year, 495 steals in 2010-11, and 450 thefts in 2009-10. Notre Dame isn't far off those marks this season, currently averaging 10.9 spg. (which has given the Fighting Irish 360 steals entering Tuesday night's game at Iowa).
The past two years also have seen Notre Dame post two of the four best defensive scoring average in school history, allowing a school-record 52.9 ppg., last season (well ahead of the previous mark of 55.1 ppg., in 1981-82) and giving up just 56.2 ppg., in 2010-11. The Fighting Irish are in position to challenge those totals again this year, presently allowing 57.9 points per game.
Canadian Ace
During the summer of 2012, Achonwa was a key contributor on Canada's Senior National Team, helping leading her country to its first Olympic appearance in 12 years. Not content to merely qualify, Canada then earned two hard-fought wins in the group stage to reach the Olympic quarterfinals (medal round) for the first time since 1984.
As the second-youngest player in the London Olympic Basketball Tournament at the tender age of 19, Achonwa averaged 7.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, highlighted by a 14-point, eight-rebound effort against eventual Olympic silver medalist France during the preliminary round.
Parlaying her Olympic experience, Achonwa has moved seamlessly into Notre Dame's starting lineup this season after spending her first two years as an important reserve. The Guelph, Ontario, native was expected to take on a larger role this year with the graduation of two-time All-American Devereaux Peters, but Achonwa has taken that growth to a whole new level, nearly doubling her averages in scoring (7.6 to 13.8 ppg.) and rebounding (4.4 to 9.3 rpg.), while scoring in double figures 27 times and grabbing double-digit rebounds on 16 occasions (including a career-best 20 rebounds on March 10 against South Florida, part of the first 20-point/20-rebound game by a Notre Dame player since Jan. 20, 1988, when Heidi Bunek did it against DePaul).
What's more, Achonwa came into this season with one career double-double and a career scoring high of 20 points. This year, she leads the BIG EAST in double-doubles (16, including seven against ranked teams and nine against conference foes) and has six 20-point games to her credit (career-high 23 vs. Utah State on Dec. 8).
Achonwa's 16 double-doubles also have tied the school record set by Katryna Gaither in 1996-97. However, it took Gaither all 38 games that season to achieve that mark, something Achonwa matched in just 30 games.
Achonwa ranks among the top 20 in the BIG EAST in scoring (17th - 13.8 ppg.), rebounding (2nd - 9.3 rpg.), field goal percentage (4th - .528; also 16th nationally) and free throw percentage (11th - .791).
Although she was passed over for selection as the BIG EAST's Most Improved Player, Achonwa's development has not gone entirely unnoticed, as she was a first-team all-conference choice and a WBCA All-Region I Team pick this season.
The Erie Warrior
McBride currently ranks seventh in the BIG EAST in scoring (15.6 ppg.) and leads the conference in free throw percentage (.917). In both areas, she is posting career-high marks, including an improvement of nearly 35 percent in her scoring average from last year (11.6 ppg.).
McBride also is among the team leaders this season with 28 double-figure scoring games, including at least 15 points in 11 of Notre Dame's 12 games against ranked opponents this season (18.8 ppg.). Among her highlights against Top 25 teams are a 23.3-ppg. average in three matchups vs. Connecticut, led by a career-high 26 points in a triple-overtime win on March 4 and 23 points in the BIG EAST title game on the road on March 12.
In fact, in her last 27 games against Top 25 opponents, McBride is averaging 15.6 points per game, scoring in double figures 24 times and posting her first two career double-doubles (10 points, career-high 12 rebounds vs. No. 2 Connecticut on Jan. 7, 2012, at Purcell Pavilion; 13 points, 10 rebounds at No. 13/14 Rutgers on Jan. 31, 2012).
McBride added her third career double-double (and first this season) on Sunday with 22 points and a game-high 10 rebounds in the NCAA Championship first-round win over Tennessee-Martin.
Crown Jewell
The Lincolnwood, Ill., native was chosen as the BIG EAST Freshman of the Year and was an honorable mention all-conference choice (as well as a unanimous BIG EAST All-Freshman Team pick) after appearing in 32 games for the Fighting Irish this season (starting 31 times), scoring in double figures 20 times, earning her first career double-double (18 points/13 rebounds at South Florida on Jan. 8) and posting three "5-5-5" games.
Loyd currently ranks among the BIG EAST leaders in scoring (26th - 12.3 ppg.) and free throw percentage (3rd - .830), and would be fifth in the conference in three-point percentage (.394), but she is short of the minimum needed for qualification (1.0 3FGM/game).
Loyd first opened eyes on the national scene with a (then) season- (and game-) high 24 points and team-best seven rebounds in the 73-61 loss to Baylor on Dec. 5 at Purcell Pavilion. The 5-foot-10 guard connected on her first four three-point attempts of the evening (finishing 4-of-5 from beyond the arc) on the way to notching the most points by a Fighting Irish rookie against a ranked opponent since Jan. 26, 2002, when Jacqueline Batteast scored 26 points in Notre Dame's 64-57 win over No. 16/17 Virginia Tech at Purcell Pavilion.
What's more, Loyd also scored the most points by a Notre Dame freshman against an opponent ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll since Feb. 19, 2000, when Alicia Ratay netted 26 points (including a school-record 7-for-7 three-pointers) in a 78-74 overtime win at No. 8/11 Rutgers.
Loyd turned heads once more in Sunday's NCAA Championship first-round win over UT Martin, scoring a career-high 27 points (on 10-of-15 shooting), the most points by a Fighting Irish freshman in her NCAA postseason debut since 2006 (Lindsay Schrader scored 29 points in a first-round loss to Boston College).
Polling Station
The Fighting Irish reached a milestone on Nov. 26 with their No. 5 ranking, which was their 100th consecutive AP poll appearance. It not only extended the program record that started with the AP preseason poll in 2007-08 (the old record was 59 consecutive weeks from 1998-2001), but it made the Fighting Irish are one of six teams in the nation with an active streak of 100 consecutive AP poll appearances.
What's more, every current Notre Dame player has competed for a ranked Fighting Irish squad throughout her career (77 consecutive weeks for the current senior class), spending the vast majority (66) of those appearances in the AP Top 10 (and never lower than 18th).
Notre Dame's year-end No. 2 ranking matches the highest final AP poll appearance in program history. The 2000-01 national championship squad was second in the last media survey that season, taken just after a last-second 78-76 loss at Connecticut in the BIG EAST title game (when the Fighting Irish had been ranked No. 1).
Notre Dame has been ranked in the AP poll for 255 weeks during the program's 36-year history, with every one of those appearances coming in the Muffet McGraw era (since 1987-88). McGraw ranks ninth among all active NCAA Division I head coaches for weeks in the AP poll, and 20th all-time in that category.
In addition, the Fighting Irish held steady at a season-best No. 2 for the fifth consecutive week in the last pre-NCAA Championship ESPN/USA Today/WBCA coaches' poll (released March 18), after spending the previous six weeks in the No. 3 spot. Notre Dame also has earned at least one first-place vote in the coaches' poll for the past 11 surveys, including four on Jan. 8 and two on March 5.
Notre Dame has been ranked in the coaches' poll for 116 of the past 117 weeks (and 80 in a row), falling just outside the Top 25 in the final poll of the 2008-09 season. Nevertheless, the Fighting Irish have appeared in the coaches' poll for a total of 249 weeks during their history (all coming during McGraw's tenure).
This marks the fifth consecutive season Notre Dame has been ranked in the top 10 of the ESPN/USA Today/WBCA poll, as well as 11 of the past 15 campaigns (1998-99 to present).
More Polling Data
Besides her 255 AP poll appearances while coaching at Notre Dame, McGraw was the starting point guard at Saint Joseph's (Pa.) as a senior in 1977, helping the Hawks to No. 3 in the nation.
Of the 31 people on this list, 16 currently are NCAA Division I head coaches (see accompanying chart in PDF version of this notes package), with McGraw and Baylor's Kim Mulkey are the only active skippers to play for and coach a team in the AP poll, and coach that team to a national title (McGraw in 2001, Mulkey in 2005 and 2012).
Anchors Aweigh
The game was played to benefit the Wounded Warriors Project, which aids returning veterans who have been injured while in the service of our country, and the Fighting Irish were exceptionally proud and honored to have former Notre Dame guard, U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient Danielle Green ('00) join the team on the bench for their historic game against Ohio State. Green, who lost her left (shooting) hand in May 2004 during a rocket-propelled grenade attack while on patrol on the roof of a police station in Baghdad, Iraq, delivered an inspiring pre-game speech to the current Fighting Irish squad before they came out to face Ohio State.
Notre Dame won this year's Carrier Classic game, 57-51, behind the second career double-double (17 points, 10 rebounds) from junior forward Natalie Achonwa and 16 points from junior guard Kayla McBride. After the game, head coach Muffet McGraw said the victory was dedicated to Green.
An added postscript -- Green recently accepted a job with the South Bend Veterans Administration Clinic and has relocated from her hometown of Chicago.
The Benefits Of Leadership
Collectively, the Notre Dame staff has 45 seasons of head coaching experience, which ranks fifth among Division I schools behind only Stanford (52), Villanova (50), Ohio State (48) and Rutgers (46).
Half And Half
What's more, in the past four seasons (2009-10 to present), Notre Dame is 113-2 (.983) when leading at the half, with the only losses coming on April 5, 2011, in the NCAA national championship game at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis (Notre Dame led Texas A&M, 35-33 at intermission before falling 76-70), and Feb. 12, 2012, against West Virginia (Fighting Irish led 33-30 at the break before the visiting Mountaineers rallied to win in the closing seconds, 65-63).
The Best Offense Is A Good Defense...
...But Sometimes You Have To Score If You Want To Win
In the past four years (2009-10 to present), Notre Dame is 60-2 (.968) when topping the 80-point mark, having reached that level 15 times this season.
Now That's A Home Court Advantage
Since the arena was renovated prior to the 2009-10 season, Notre Dame is 61-5 (.924) -- including wins in 37 of its last 39 home games -- and three of the five Fighting Irish losses in their refurbished facility have come by three points or fewer (two in overtime).
Notre Dame also has a 128-20 (.865) record in BIG EAST Conference play at the former Joyce Center, sporting a program-record 31-game league winning streak at home before it ended with a 48-45 loss to Villanova in the '02 home finale.
The Fighting Irish have been especially strong when it comes to non-conference home games, winning 108 of their last 117 non-BIG EAST contests (.923) at Purcell Pavilion, dating back to the 1994-95 season. Five of the nine losses in that span came at the hands of Big Ten Conference opponents (four by 12 points or less) -- Wisconsin in 1996 (81-69), Purdue in 2003 (71-54), Michigan State in 2004 (82-73 OT), Indiana in 2006 (54-51) and Minnesota in 2009 (79-71) -- with the other defeats coming to Tennessee in 2005 (62-51) and 2008 (87-63), UCLA in 2010 (86-83 in 2OT) and Baylor in 2012 (73-61). The Purdue loss snapped a 33-game non-conference home winning streak that began after the UW setback.
Since its inaugural season in 1977-78, Notre Dame has played all of its games at the former Joyce Center, posting a 384-90 (.810) record at the venerable facility. Three times (1999-2000, 2000-01 and 2003-04), the Fighting Irish went a perfect 15-0 at home, which was the school record for home victories in a season prior to the 2009-10 campaign, when Notre Dame went 16-1, a mark that lasted only two seasons before the Fighting Irish posted a 17-1 record at Purcell Pavilion last year.
Coming Soon: Irish in the ACC
The change in conference affiliation will be the first for Notre Dame since 1995, when the Fighting Irish moved from the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now the Horizon League) to the BIG EAST Conference.
In its 18 seasons in the BIG EAST, Notre Dame was the one of the conference's best, winning three regular season titles (2001, 2012 and 2013) and one tournament crown (2013) and compiling a 232-64 (.784) record in league play that stands as the second-best regular season winning percentage in BIG EAST women's basketball history.
Next Game: NCAA Regional Semifinal
The tip time and TV coverage for the Norfolk Regional semifinal, which would be played at the Ted Constant Convocation Center on the Old Dominion campus in Norfolk, Va., would be determined following the completion of all second-round games.
The Fighting Irish are 1-2 all-time against South Carolina, having won the teams' most recent matchup, 78-55 on Nov. 27, 2009, at the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Notre Dame and Kansas have never met on the hardwood.

Out There
iOS, Droid
Out There
iOS, Droid
Developed by Mi-Clos Studio
Published by Mi-Clos Studio
Rubber Chickens - GOOSE: 9 - D.A.R.R.E.N.: 9
Oh man, I've playing this for ages. My oxygen must be getting pretty low...
Hello, Goose!
Just in time, DARREN. I need to get back down to Earth before my oxygen runs out.
Oh don't be silly, Goose. I'll just create an oxygen bubble around your head... You can take your mask off now, Goose.
Oh cool! Thanks DARREN! Hey, while I was hanging around up here I played some 'Out There'. Should we review it?
What a wonderful idea! 'Out There' is a space resource management game. You wake up from cyro-sleep to find that your ship has boldly drifted into deep space, where no human has gone before. As you search your surroundings you come across alien technology which allows you to jump quickly between star systems. With this tech on board you set out to return to Earth.
The game is presented like a comic. There's very little animation, but each frame is beautifully crafted with strong colour and detail... and the story is charmingly told through text based journal entries.
While 'Out There' draws some obvious visual inspiration from FTL, this game is far, far away from real-time action. Instead, it's about choice and consequence. Your ship's fuel, oxygen and hull are your three main resources and you'll need to juggle these as you leap across the universe. If one of these key resources reaches zero, it's game over.
To keep these bars in good stead you'll need to acquire elements, like Hydrogen and Iron, which can replenish your key resources. The best way to find these is to travel to planets and probe them from orbit... or land for some drilling action.
All of these actions cost you resources, sometimes more than you gain from your efforts. A few bad decisions can cost you dearly!
There's nothing quite like a good haul though! That feeling when you hit a fuel jackpot - it gets my positrons racing! I must say, though: inventory management is a little frustrating. Slots for equipment and minerals are shared, so there's only a small amount of breathing room.
I found it difficult to save up rare minerals to spend on tech upgrades whilst maintaining my key resources.
Yeah, it's certainly strict, but I think that's the point. As you progress, you'll come across abandoned alien vessels which you can commandeer. They tend to have more cargo space, be more efficient in fuel or oxygen consumption or are a little sturdier and can take more hull damage. This alleviates a bit of that inventory pressure.
Affirmative. When you enter a new star system a journal entry will pop-up; detailing what has happened during the trip. If your lucky stars are aligned you might pick up some extra fuel... if luck isn't on your side, you might cross paths with a hostile alien ship and take a hit to your hull.
You'll often be asked to make decisions in these text events. "Do I enter the fuel rich asteroid field, or play it safe and keep my distance." It's a bit like a choose-your-own-adventure!
Yes, but these random encounters don't just add depth to the story... they are a key mechanic, as they mean you'll be constantly changing your strategy on the fly. You may have hopped systems in pretty good shape, but some disaster along the way leaves you desperately searching for oxygen. It's these elements that make each play through feel like a little story unfolding. Every life is a new adventure.
Affirmative, and it's these stories that keep you coming back. Out There really captures that sense of exploring the unknown. You'll meet strange alien species - learning more of their language with every successive interaction; you'll leap to unknown star systems; you'll warp through black holes. It's all very mysterious and exciting!
...And coupled with its beautiful presentation, this is a perfect game for mobile devices. I'm giving this nine out of ten rubber chickens.
It's often unforgiving, but that makes a good run feel enormously rewarding. I'm giving it nine as well.
Say... Speaking of trying to get back to Earth... do you think you could give me a lift back to the News desk, DARREN?
It would be my pleasure. Hold on and don't let go!

FreestylersFreestylers have a good half-pipe located at Carmennahue. This is also the location for the fun park which is equipped with a standard series of hits including one or two nice kickers. However, this is also a place that offers some good natural freestyling, but you have to look for it.
PistesCarvers who like to slide around on gentle well prepared slopes and without any surprises, will find Arosa ideal for their needs.
BeginnersBeginners in Arosa could do a lot worse. The slopes here provide novices an easy time and allow for some quick progression.
