Ginger Baker is known for playing in Cream and Blind Faith, but the world's greatest drummer didn't hit his stride until 1972, when he arrived in Nigeria and discovered Fela Kuti's Afrobeat. After leaving Nigeria, Ginger returned to his pattern of drug-induced self-destruction, eventually settling in South Africa, where the 73-year-old lives with his young bride and 39 polo ponies. This documentary includes interviews with Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Carlos Santana and more. With every smash of the drum is a man smashing through life, and smashing the filmmaker's nose on the last day of filming.
Check out the trailer below!

While being booked at the police station, officers say 29-year-old Michael Harp asked to make a phone call on his cell phone.
A little later, police say five pizzas from Domino's were delivered to the station under the name of Officer Wilson, who is the same officer that arrested Harp. Police say they linked the call to Harp by tracking his cell phone number.
Harp tells us it's all a misunderstanding."I'm wrongfully accused on this here. They've charged me with two felonies over this pizza deal because I had my phone inside the holding cell," Harp says. "There was about 10 people who probably used the phone, so it's hard to say. Like I said, I never heard anyone say a word about Domino's pizzas. Any of it." Harp now faces additional charges including theft of identity, theft by deception, and impersonating a police officer.

Ikebana Flowers New York
Flower-arranging schools
Flower-arranging schools
Get in touch with nature during a two-hour master-class flower-arranging tutorial at Flower School New York (5 Tudor City Pl between 42nd and 43rd Sts; 212-661-8074, flowerschoolny.com; $250). Each week, the workshop is taught by a different pro in the field; on Thursday 18, Remco Van Vliet, who constructs the magnificent bouquets in the lobby of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, will show you how to create a large-scale arrangement using spring branches. For a more Eastern experience, check out a three-hour "Intro to Ikebana" lesson at Ikebana Flowers New York (20 W 20th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, suite 1102; 212-255-9769, ikebanaflowers-ny.com; $50), which owner and instructor Junko Miura says is designed to "loosen up the creative side" of participants. The small group sessions begin with a brief overview of the Japanese art form before students freestyle their own minimalist flower designs.
La Casita
At this newly opened knitting retreat, you can plop down by the fireplace with a skein of Mongolian cashmere ($41, or a cheaper option: Ella Rae yarn for $6.50) and, once the caf is up and running, an order of empanadas to fuel your stitching. If you need a refresher, drop by during normal business hours and a staffer will guide you through any challenges. 253 Smith St between DeGraw and Douglass Sts, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn (718-963-0369, lacasitayarnshop.com)
Little Shop of Crafts
If you prefer the simple pleasures of painting premade pottery and plaster crafts, head to Little Shop, which offers beading and mosaics. Stop by the East Side location Wednesdays through Fridays from 6:30 to 10:30pm, when the spot serves complimentary wine to help you really unwind (the West Side branch does the same Wednesdays through Saturdays from 6:30 to 10pm). 431 E 73rd St between First and York Aves (212-717-6636, littleshopny.com) *711 Amsterdam Ave at 94th St (212-531-2723)
Make Workshop
Move over, Martha: Make founder Diana Rupp will turn you into a regular DIY diva; her recreational school offers classes in everything from batik to wallpaper making. In the artist's studio, you can learn how to create monogrammed note cards with Brooklyn's Sesame Letterpress, or pick up the practical skill of concocting all-natural soap. Not to be overlooked, though, are the popular two-hour introductory sewing classes, which will have you feeling like a Project Runway star with none of the pressure. 195 Chrystie St between Rivington and Stanton Sts, studio 402 (212-533-9995, makeworkshop.com). $80--$500.
Museum of Arts & Design
At MAD, not only can you view art, you can make it, too. Every Sunday from 2 to 4pm, the museum offers drop-in classes for just $10. If you'd rather avoid sharing materials with sticky-fingered kids (Studio Sundays are open to kids ages six and up), check out the adult-geared "Slab-Building Workshop" ($50) on February 27, where ceramists from Greenwich House Pottery will demonstrate some basic techniques once used by sculptor Viola Frey, whose work is on view at the museum through May 2. After you've molded your own creation from flat, damp sheets of clay, see how you fared by comparing your handiwork to Frey's. 2 Columbus Circle at Broadway (212-299-7780, madmuseum.org)
Relive those carefree days at summer camp spent gluing together Popsicle sticks by engaging in some slightly more sophisticated art projects: Here, walk-ins can mold beads out of clay or beeswax, carve stamps for adorning business cards or even decorate a skateboard. 355 Bedford Ave between South 4th and 5th Sts, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-599-2718, spacecraftbrooklyn.com). Walk-in crafts $10--$45.
Newbies may want to consider taking a two-part knitting or crocheting class ($50) at Lion Brand Yarn Studio (34 W 15th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves; 212-243-9070, lionbrandyarnstudio.com); by the end of the session, you'll know how to make a scarf and will be able to knit with the best of them during Flicks and Sticks, Lion Brand's free movie night on the last Thursday of every month.

Can Pink Convicts and Yellow Labs breed together?
I have a yellow lab carrying eggs. the only possible male is a pink convict or a texas. i dont think the texas could be the father because they grow to be 10 - 12" and the labs only grow to 3". the texas and the pink are about the same size.
By "carrying eggs" do you mean in her mouth? If she is and hasnt been around any other fish in the last couple weeks, the eggs are surely infertile. I think the chances of one of your american cichlids breeding with a yellow lab cichlid is about the same as one of them breeding with a yellow lab retriever.
ya she is carrying them in her mouth.
like Syrinx said; I would highly doubt it if they breed together. Would be interesting though!
don't they carry them in their mouth after they get fertilized
I dont know how unusual it is for them to lay and pick up eggs with no male present, I have never kept African cichlids. But I have heard of American cichlids trying to spawn with 2 females when no males are present. One lays the eggs, the other acts as if she is fertilizing them, but of course she cant. The need to breed can be strong in some fish.
It may be that they sometimes carry eggs around looking for a male, I dont know enough about them to say for sure.

Hey beautiful readers,
I know, where have I been since writing my 2014 Resolutions and Goals? Well living them, duh Actually a bit has happened…which I will tell you about in due time. But this ain't no catch up post.
This is about these shoes.
And their fabulousness.
Now, I've only worn them say for a few weeks and only for about 10 or so high impact cardio classes but my goodness I already love them. And even though my asics are totally eyeballing me right now whilst I say this, I think they may even be better than my old Asics. Don't get me wrong, Asics are hot and I love them, but the new compressioning and the way they've changed them lately has not been sitting well with my feet- even with orthotics.
But my New Balance well I've (touch wood) got no inner muscle/shin pain AT ALL. Like I can even push on them and they don't hurt. This makes teaching a bazillion BodyStep & BodyAttack classes SO much easier. I've even bragged to all my classes about how good they are.
Even better? I got them on sale for half the price I typically pay for my shoes (and even not on sale they were cheaper).
But anyways let me introduce the shoe…
I am wearing the New Balance 890 V3. I will admit the numbers are confusing but after a quick google and a super helpful chat with a lovely man on the New Balance hotline I knew which shoes were going to be right for my neutral feet. Anyways, back to the shoes..
They are quite lightweight, which I'm not use to but honestly haven't noticed any different except when I pick them up to put them on.
Because the material is a bit lighter they don't feel as hot and suffocating on my feet…which my feet enjoy
The colour was very iffy for me at the beginning. I expected pink since the picture seemed pink, and whilst my bf assures me they are (ha) they seem more like a red pink crossover. But they are bright and gorgeous so I shall make do, plus they've been matching my fluro pink nails I've been rocking lately.
Not only has my experience with the shoes been great but the customer service also! My bf had ordered the pair a few weeks before Christmas to ensure they would get here and they did…except it was the wrong shoes haha. After he made a call to NB they were very apologetic and made it their focus to have the shoes shipped out that day and here by Christmas, and they made it 2 days before! The fact that she wasn't worried about the other pair of shoes shows NB's want for happy customers.
I can honestly say, I think I'm converted..
- When was the last time you were converted from your 'usual'?
I was not paid for this post, I just love spreading great bargains and this is one of them!

A math book written by Lander University founder Samuel Lander during the Civil War is now among the holdings of the Larry A. Jackson Library.
The book, titled "Our Own School Arithmetic," is one of only seven copies known to exist. It was given to the library by a donor who preferred to remain anonymous.
The book recently returned from a North Carolina conservator that specializes in restoring old books, where it was deacidified, a process that stops the spotting of pages, which Lander assistant librarian Mike Berry calls "common with books of that age." A new spine was put on the book as well.
The text, published in 1863 by Sterling, Campbell & Albright, of Greensboro, N.C., is one of three math books that Lander, a respected scholar and theologian, contributed to a series of schoolbooks by southern writers.
In his preface to the book, Lander expressed pride "in presenting the public perhaps the first Arithmetic whose authorship and publication belong exclusively to the Confederate States."
David Mash, dean of Lander's Library Services, calls the methodology of the book "daunting by modern standards."

Heika: Hard as it is to believe, NHL has bigger messes to deal with than Stars lending situation
Dallas Morning News Stars writer Mike Heika chatted with fans on Thursday and answered questions about the Dallas Stars. Here are some highlights:
What are your thoughts on Larsen and his game? Is he really our only top D prospect? He seems to be smart with the puck, but he looks so skinny and fragile. Do you think he will be NHL ready next season?
I like him a lot. He is their top defense prospect, but they do have two kids drafted in 2010 (Patrik Nemeth and John Klingberg) who could turn out to be pretty good. Both have been invited to camp for Team Sweden's World Junior team.
As for Larsen, he's incredibly smart, he's got a great shot, he can skate and he's got a great attitude. He is skinny, but I think he'll be able to bulk up a little. I swear he's grown two inches in the last year or two, so he's got to fill out on that frame now.
I do think he will be in the NHL next season.
How do you see things ending with the Brad Richards situation?
It's so hard to guess right now.
I think even if the lenders keep the team, they will make an offer to Richards. I just think it makes sense to at least make an effort to keep him. The lenders won't be paying the contract (probably) and it would seem to make the team more valuable if Richards is around and the team has a strong playoff run.
I will tell you that the stability of the franchise will play a role in whether or not Richards wants to sign. He really was affected by the situation in Tampa Bay that forced his trade, and he doesn't want to go through that again.
So, we'll see. They keep saying they have time to get this done before the Feb. 28 trade deadline, but I can tell you I have a little bit of panic starting to grow. At some point, somebody needs to take control of this. Let's hope they do.
Is there anything the NHL can do to pressure the Stars lenders to get this sale on a different path?
Gary Bettman and Bill Daly are involved in the process every day, and I believe they are trying to keep the Stars happy, keep the lenders happy and get a good price to help franchise values for the NHL.
Now, you could say that's part of the problem and part of the delay, but we don't really know what they are telling the lenders.
Bottom line, there are bigger messes in the NHL (Coyotes, Islanders, Thrashers) than this one, so they can only do so much and spend so much time trying to get it fixed.
What is happening with the lenders, and hireing a team president?
They are very quiet right now, and even the Stars are having a hard time getting answers.
What I believe is happening is the executive committee of the lenders has to agree to hire the president and then agree to possibly own the team for the remainder of the season. To do that, they have to make financial commitments that could add up to $20 million or more. So, here's the meeting. `OK, we have all voted to keep the team, please wire $5 million each into our account by the end of the day.' That sort of makes the decision a little tougher.
Plus, I'm not sure what kind of contract Tony Tavares will sign. Does it have a golden parachute in case a new owner doesn't hire him? Does he get some sort of bonus if he helps sell the team? Does he just get a straight fee and only stay through the end of the summer?
It's a complicated process. I thought for sure they had decided to hire Tavares, but right now even that decision is in a holding pattern.

1. Re: Auto AdjustmentsPete.Green Apr 12, 2012 1:18 PM (in response to Hudechrome)
Given an appropriate image -- The Auto adjustments (auto-tone, auto-contrast) work for me in Grayscale, you do not need to convert to RGB to use them. Given an image that doesn't need much adjusting, the adjustments don't do much noticeable change.
Do you have a grayscale image that is auto-corrected better after converting to RGB?
I'd like to test it out for myself if you do!
For my image testing, after converting to RGB from grayscale, the changes made to the image with the adjustment layers on was basically the same visible changes made to the image after turning off the layers, then switching to RGB, and turning the adj layers back on.
Maybe you could record a video if the odd behavior you're seeing?
2. Re: Auto AdjustmentsHudechrome Apr 12, 2012 8:35 PM (in response to Pete.Green)
I'm working from a original b&w, not a conversion to b&w although it doesn't make a difference.
Yes auto tone, contrast does work in grayscale but auto Curves, Brightness/Contrast and auto Levels all require me to change to RGB to be used. Manual changes work fine in grayscale. This is true both in Adjustment Layers and Image>Adjustment.
I am not acquainted with the video method. I assume you are not referring to actually setting up a camera and watching me tweak, right?
And yes, I do have one, actually many that exhibit this behavior. But as I said, try it using Adjustment Layers or Image>Adjustment first. It should show up.

The region's Court of Appeal has ruled in favor Neil Higgs, a vendor who had been selling thousands of modification kits for consoles like the Xbox, which in turn let gamers play pirated titles. Some 26 charges were filed against Higgs in late 2007, but as a result of today's ruling, they have all been invalidated. Higgs will also receive full compensation for his legal costs.
The appeal is said to have been granted based on an argument that while modchips are integral to the piracy of console games, any act of copyright infringement has been already committed before modchip use or installation. Pirated games are normally downloaded via the Internet, and then burned to DVD for play in a modified machine.

I hope someone can help me with my SQ-i motor drive for the SQ-Ai.
My problem is that the drive stops mid wind, i.e The shutter gets released, then winds for a short moment. then the red light flashes up. I have to press the drive button to rechoke the shutter.
I thought that maybe the batteries are low, so i replaced them with some freshly charged eneloops, but still the same behavior. Do I just need to put in real alkalines? Can someone provide some experience with this problem?
p.s. if someone has a copy of the manual, could you check if it contains a troubleshooting guide or something similar please? I've been looking for hours, but i can't seem to find the motor drive manual online.

Gazprom goes to China, Russia's economy rejoices
Russia's President Vladimir Putin (L) applauds during an agreement signing ceremony in Shanghai on May 21, 2014, with Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller (C) and Chinese state energy giant CNPC Chairman Zhou Jiping (R) attending the ceremony. China and Russia signed today a monumental, multi-decade gas supply contract in Shanghai, CNPC said, with reports saying it could be worth as much as $400 billion.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been visiting China. The result? The two countries are reported to have struck a $400 billion deal in which the Russian gas company Gazprom will supply energy-hungry China.
Gazprom is a company. It has a CEO, Alexei Miller, and you can buy its stock. But ownership is a combination of private and public, and Keith Crane, director of the Rand Corporation's environment, energy and economic development program, says a little over half the shares are owned by the state and the state calls the shots.
"Gazprom's key asset is the fact that if you're a gas producer in Russia, there's only one company you can sell your gas to, and that's Gazprom."
The company, says Crane, has something of a reputation. "It's highly corrupt, and a lot of money leaks out of the country into the hands of various officials and individuals so I would not invest in it," he says.
That's one reason why, he notes, this deal with China is so important.
Then, there's the European problem. With the tension between Russia and Ukraine, through which most Russian gas moves, European countries are looking for alternative sources. Andy Kuchins, director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Center for Strategeic and International Studies, says the European market for Russian gas is growing a lot more slowly.
"China is the largest growth engine, it's the fastest growing consumer, and importer of hydrocarbons, oil and gas," he says.
And, Kuchin notes, while oil makes up a large part of Russia's revenue, keeping natural gas prices low, for production and heating costs, is critical for the country's domestic economy.
"A good way to think about it is that for the Russians, they'll say, 'That's oil, that's dengi, that's money. But for gas, 'That's khleb, that's our bread,'" he says.
Kuchins says Gazprom probably has rights to over 15 percent of the gas reserves in the world. And since it shares a border with China, this deal for gas should be a win for both countries.

Little Saigon Asian Crip Who Killed At Asian Garden Mall Gets Bad News
Categories: Court, Crime-iny, Little Saigon, Moxley, Where you from?
|Tri Trong Huynh
The crime went unsolved for eight years until Westminster Police Department detective Tim Walker, arguably one of the nation's best Asian gang experts, used cell phone records to unravel the case and identify Tri Trong Huynh as a solid suspect.
During interviews with Walker, Huynh--a convicted burglar--initially claimed that he hadn't been at the mall that day and wasn't an Asian Crips hoodlum, an assertion undermined by the "AC" prominently tattooed on his back.
Walker was relentless in his questioning and, months later, Huynh eventually claimed that he'd been jumped into the gang after the killing, that he'd gotten a call to go to the Asian Garden Mall with three Crips on the day of the crime to collect a debt and that he'd been mildly violent at the murder scene before fleeing, according to court records.
Believing that Huynh is the person who struck the fatal, mop handle blow to Kevin Eng's skull, Walker arrested him. Witnesses testified that the defendant had used the stick during the crime and a 2010 jury found him guilty of murder, gang membership, street terrorism and use of a deadly weapon. Later, Orange County Superior Court Judge William R. Froeberg sentenced him to prison.
Hunyh appealed his convictions, claiming the prosecutor committed misconduct and that his defense lawyer had been inept for not attempting to undermine Walker's gang expert testimony.
On May 31, a California Court of Appeal based in Santa Ana issued a 14-page ruling that rejected Huynh's arguments.
Upshot: The Asian Crip, who is now 30 years old, will continue to serve his life sentence at the California State Prison at Sacramento. Huynh won't ever return to society. Froeberg made sure he is ineligible for parole.

|Non-invasive ventilation for acute exacerbation of COPD with very high PaCO(2): A randomized controlled trial.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20931029 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) for management of Indian patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty patients (mean age 57.6 ± 10.8 years; M:F 31:9) with AECOPD with pH <7.35, admitted to the intensive care unit were included. Patients were randomized to receive NIPPV (N, n = 20) with conventional therapy or conventional therapy (C, n = 20) alone at admission. NIPPV was given through the nasal mask. Incidence of need of endotracheal intubation (ETI) was the primary efficacy variable. Hospital mortality, duration of hospital stay and change in clinical and blood gas parameters were the secondary outcome variables.
RESULTS: Mean pH at baseline for N and C groups were similar (7.23 ± 0.07) whereas PaCO(2) was 85.4 ± 14.8 and 81.1 ± 11.6 mm of Hg, respectively. At one hour, patients in N group had greater improvement in pH (P = 0.017) as well as PaCO(2) (P = 0.04) which corroborated with clinical improvement. Whereas need of ETI was reduced in patients who received NIPPV (3/20 vs 12/20, P = 0.003), in-hospital mortality was similar (3/20 and 2/20, P = NS). The mean duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in N group (9.4 ± 4.3 days) as compared to C group (17.8 ± 2.6 days); P = 0.001.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with AECOPD, NIPPV leads to rapid improvement in blood gas parameters and reduces the need for ETI.

On the bench, Fumo's BFF: Buckwalter
The feds filed too many charges against ex-state Sen. Vincent Fumo, his good works in public and private life mitigated his crimes, and it wasn't as if he were charged with taking bribes or pocketing state money.
The viewpoint of Fumo's lawyer, perhaps• Nope, that was part of the reasoning by U.S. District Judge Ronald Buckwalter, who added a mere six more months to Fumo's 55-month sentence. Buckwalter had been ordered to resentence Fumo because his first sentence in 2009 was too lenient.
On the redo, Buckwalter gave Fumo, a Philadelphia Democrat, a pass again.
Never mind that Fumo's fraud totaled $4 million. A jury convicted him of 137 corruption charges in 2009. He used state taxpayers' money and a nonprofit's money as if it were his own. Senate staffers did his personal and political chores. State-paid employees worked on his farm; they balanced his checkbooks. A taxpayer-paid private detective snooped on his personal and political enemies. Political polls were paid for by the taxpayers.
But hey, he wasn't putting money in his own pocket.
Call Buckwalter's resentence outrageous, incomprehensible or plain rotten. Take your pick.
It was clear to me that this quirky 74-year-old senior judge should no longer be hearing cases in federal court.
His kid-glove handling of Fumo was unconscionable.
It irked Buckwalter that prosecutors used Fumo's e-mails, sent from a federal prison account, to show he wanted to exact revenge on his enemies when released. His e-mails also showed he had no remorse. "There were no victims," Fumo wrote. Buckwalter virtually scolded assistant U.S. attorneys for using the e-mails.
Buckwalter also felt sorry for all of Fumo's ailments, from diabetes to depression. He did reluctantly agree that Fumo had those ailments when he committed the crimes.
This notion that the multimillion-dollar fraud on taxpayers wasn't important because it wasn't bribery or theft is ludicrous.
Of course, it was theft. Just as former House Speaker John Perzel's use of $10 million for computer programs and equipment to help Republicans win elections was theft. So was former House Minority Leader Mike Veon's use of $1.8 million in bonuses to House Democrat staffers who worked on campaigns.
Federal prosecutors and agents who at times visited the courtroom during Buckwalter's two-day defense of his slap on the wrist varyingly looked perplexed and saddened by what transpired.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Zausmer put the best spin possible on it in talking to reporters later. Yes, it was a disappointment. But in the big picture, the federal government had removed Fumo from office and sent him to prison.
Still, Buckwalter seemed sensitive to the widespread public criticism of his first sentence. The judge asked one witness whether he had heard anything about the court's integrity being challenged and essentially got a "no."
I heard a lot of that in 2009. But watching Buckwalter in person, I don't believe that was anything untoward. He seems like a decent man. He just had a blind spot on this case. Call it stubbornness, a character flaw, a distorted perception of the facts.
Nothing hinky.
Just a judge way past his prime.

For reasons that are not clear, 2011 has been one of the most destructive tornado years in history.
Researchers from a team funded by the National Science Foundation have examined some of last spring's massive tornado damage and conclude in a new report that more intensive engineering design and more rigorous, localized construction and inspection standards are needed to reduce property damage and loss of life.
As one of the nation's most destructive tornado seasons in history begins to wane, and hurricane season approaches its peak, experts are working to determine if old, tried-and-true approaches to residential and small building construction are still adequate, or if it's time to revisit these issues.
"Modern building codes are not what we would call inadequate, but they are kind of a bare minimum," says Rakesh Gupta, a professor of wood engineering and mechanics at Oregon State University, and one of the members of the NSF team that traveled to such sites as Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Joplin, Mo. – where a massive EF5 tornado in May killed more than 150 people and caused damage approaching $3 billion.
"Beyond that, in the actual construction process, buildings are often not built precisely to codes, due to inadequate construction work or code enforcement," Gupta says. "We can do better. The damage didn't have to be as bad as it was. We can design and build structures more rigorously that could withstand wind forces up to 140-150 miles per hour, which would help them better resist both tornadoes and hurricanes."
In their research, the scientists and engineers found that even in the most catastrophic tornadoes, the path exposed to the most extreme winds is very narrow. In the Joplin example, buildings less than one-half mile away probably faced winds in the 130 mph range, which often destroyed them because they lacked appropriate fasteners, tie-downs, connectors, or adequate number of sheathing nails.
"Another thing we need to consider more in our building practices is the local risks and situation," says Arijit Sinha, an OSU professor in the Department of Wood Science and Engineering.
"Just as cities like San Francisco adapt their building codes to consider earthquake risks, many other towns and cities across the nation could be creating local codes to reflect their specific risks from hurricanes, tornadoes, high winds or other concerns," Sinha says. "A national building code may be convenient, but it isn't always the best for every single town in the country."
Among the findings of the new report:
Even where cities and towns don't have more stringent building codes, Sinha says, individuals can and probably should have their blueprints or structures reviewed by licensed engineers to plan adequately for damage from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes or other extreme forces.

Walker, UConn pull off a big Maui Invitational upset in a rematch of the 2009 Final Four
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Nov 24, 2010
LAHAINA » Last time they met, Kemba Walker was but the learner. Now he is the master.
In a rematch of the 2009 Final Four, Walker and the young Connecticut Huskies proved their mettle and then some, stunning No. 2 Michigan State 70-67 in the semifinals of the EA Sports Maui Invitational yesterday.
Walker, the team's star point guard, went for 30 points and forward Alex Oriakhi had 15 points and 17 rebounds in the huge upset.
Walker was just a reserve freshman in 2009, and MSU guard Kalin Lucas, a sophomore star. Lucas had 21 points then, but 10 points and five turnovers last night.
Walker was asked how far he's come in his game between '09 and yesterday.
"How far I've come? I'm averaging 30 points right now," said the country's leading scorer with a large grin.
The 6-foot-1 junior had the game's biggest basket, a go-ahead drifting jumper on the left baseline that made it 68-67 with 52 seconds left.
With him, UConn (4-0) has come a long way, too. The Huskies, sporting six freshmen, were picked to finish 10th in the Big East. The veteran Spartans, meanwhile, are coming off back-to-back Final Fours and are expected to contend for the national title.
They haven't looked like that team on Maui. MSU (3-1) barely held off Division II Chaminade 82-74 in the first round on Monday. Yesterday, the Spartans played better — but not enough.
On MSU's last full possession down two, Lucas miscommunicated with guard Durrell Summers. Summers cut to the basket and Lucas' pass to the wing sailed out of bounds. It looked like UConn's Niels Giffey may have touched the ball on the way out, but it wasn't called and Lucas shrugged about that afterward.
"It was a bad play on my part," Lucas said.
UConn held on despite 2-for-6 shooting at the foul line in the final minute. A halfcourt heave to tie at the buzzer by Draymond Green (22 points, 12 rebounds) fell short.
MSU coach Tom Izzo pointed at two late turnovers when his players slipped on the slick midcourt as the turning point. That was when MSU went from up five points to down five at 66-61.
UConn coach Jim Calhoun knew what the difference was.
"We had Kemba Walker, and Tom didn't," Calhoun said.
The Huskies go for their second Maui title in six years today at 5 p.m. against No. 8 Kentucky.
No. 8 Kentucky 74, No. 13 Washington 67
What kind of game was it? Two earthquakes that struck off the coast of Maui (with magnitudes of 4.7 and 3.3) barely registered inside the raucous Lahaina Civic Center.
A semifinal matchup of hoops titans lived up to its billing. The Wildcats kept the highest scoring team in the country locked in a compelling slugfest.
The Huskies, who tied a school record with 17 3-pointers in the first round, managed just three against the freakishly athletic Wildcats.
Terrence Jones went for 16 points, 17 rebounds and four blocks against the team he originally committed to, only to back out at the last moment and choose Kentucky. Point guard Brandon Knight was alternately brilliant and bumbling with 24 points and eight turnovers.
More than Jones going against his would-be team, the second-half quake was a popular topic in the postgame.
"I didn't feel it. Seemed like sometimes the rim was moving anyway," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said, referencing his team's 38.5 percent shooting and scoring output 40 below their nation-best 107 average coming in.
Kentucky coach John Calipari waved off the 4.7.
"Ahh, that's nothing," he said. He instead talked about his team's ability to win ugly: 39.1 percent shooting, including 17.6 on 3-pointers, and 15 turnovers against seven assists.
Washington guard Isaiah Thomas said he felt one of the earthquakes, but didn't know what it was.
The Wildcats will go for their first Maui title since 1993 today against Connecticut.
David Kyles scored 19 points on 8-for-13 shooting and J.T. Durley added 16 points to carry the Shockers past the host Silverswords and into the consolation championship game against Virginia.
WSU (2-1) of the Missouri Valley Conference dominated CU (3-2) 43-23 on the backboards and recovered after the Division II 'Swords cut a 20-point first-half deficit to six.
WSU responded with back-to-back 3-pointers and never let it get to single digits again.
Forward Mike Scott dominated with 27 points and 15 rebounds as the Cavaliers of the Atlantic Coast Conference topped the Big 12's Sooners in a consolation semifinal.

Dealers I've talked to (3 different ones - Bernina, Babylock, Brother, Janome) have adamantly warned me that buying a used sewing/embroidery machine is a really bad idea, due to the lack of dealer support and warantee. Although that seems sensible, the prices of new quality machines that have the features I want are really high - $2000 (Brother NX2000) to $10,000 (Bernina 830). I've considered, for example, a Bernina 730E, which a dealer sells for $6700 (this is a 30% reduction from the list price for a floor model) for sale on ebay for $4600. I can buy a lot of repair work for $2000! And I'm pretty mechanically inclined (had my own computer since 1984 & an early Bernina since 1965), so I am pretty confident I can learn on my own. However I'd like some feedback from those of you who have purchased used high-end machines. What have you experienced - good and bad?
If you buy a mechanical for $1000 and it is a dud you are only out the $1000... a lot ,but not enough to make you get sick over it. If you buy a $4600 machine and it has "issues" you are SOL. I personally would never buy a computerized machine outside of a dealer. I tried to buy a computerized emb. machine on ebay and it did not work. It was only $1500 and the seller took it back but I learned my lesson. (man was that a huge hassle! Lots of wasted energy and time) I'd prefer to have dealership back up as I think the computerized embroidery machines are just a bit more temperamental. The extra cost more than pays for itself in peace of mind if your dealer is good. That's my opinion...again it is because of the cost...and the complexity of those machines vs. a simple mechanical one.
------"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem." Theodore Rubin
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life's about creating yourself." George Bernard Shaw
Dan 9:24-27
Bernina vintage and computerized, Bernina and BL sergers , BLcoverstitch (a stray Pfaff and Viking followed me home too)
I think it depends on your comfort level and the amount of effort you are willing to put into the machine.
If you purchase it, and then get a copy of the adjusting/repair manual....well, if you're like me, you're set for life. The warranty on these machines is somewhat misleading. you have 20 years on he mechanical parts, and 1 year on the labor/computer components(last time I checked)
Is 1 yeah worth 2500$?
not to me!
This one, that one, and a bunch of other ones!
(though the herd is getting more streamlined)
Last december when I was trying to decide how to go about this, I considered buying on ebay and such. I ended up spending $1680 at a local Pfaff dealer so I guess I'm in a lower price range than you. I was scared off buying a machine on ebay. Too many people having problems in the shipping and recovery of funds for broken/unusable machines.
I'm sure you could learn the machine, but repairing it would be a different matter. Now, if you found something on craigslist, then by all means go and try it out -- if if boots up and sews reasonably well, then go for it! But online/mail order for computerized machines is a whole different ball game. Someone suggested they wouldn't be sick about losing $1000 on a bad machine but I think I'd need a trip to the hospital for that big a loss! I guess it comes down to your tolerance for risk!
Buy Babylock or Brother for easier access to design formats.
Bernina's art format is difficult to convert to and many of the free downloads are pes (Babylock and Brother).
You can get a Brother SE 400 for under $400 at Walmart. You will be limited to a 4 x 4 embroidery area, which may suit your need, or not. The 400 is a combo (sewing machine and embroidery machine). If you decide embroidery is not for you at least you will have a backup sewing machine.
If you are serious about getting a Bernina, ask what the format is as well as the limitations of the embroidery area. Then look through downloads on the Internet (where it is more practical to obtain designs) for the availability of the format required for that particular Bernina model.
Also, keep in mind that every brand and model has embroidery area limitations and using a larger hoop does not mean you can stitch out a design larger than what the machine is designed to handle.
I started with the Brother PE 150 (embroidery only model) many years ago. I purchased it on a whim at a local Walmart and taught myself how to use it - pretty easy.
Then when I decided I would like to do larger designs, I bought a Babylock and sold the 150 on Ebay.

I second emg's opinion about Craigslist. I bought an Artista 170 with emb. module for $400 on there. I do have a very good tech who cleaned it up and serviced it and gave it a clean bill of health though which helps a lot. I wouldn't go the ebay route for computerized machines, just too big a risk. I was burned twice doing that!
I really really really REALLY want that magenta Brother. wahhhhhh..
Which magenta Brother do you want? I have seen some and I wondered about the model of your choice.
Will it match the color of your living room walls, by any chance? They are lovely.
Someday, I would like the Brother SE400.

Thanks much to everybody who took the time to reply. Your feedback supports both the dealer's cautions and my "inklings" about buying on ebay. I did have the opportunity to buy an Artista 180 on Craigslist, which I let go because I wasn't far enough along in my research. I did notice several eBay offers supposedly from Bernina dealers - but my dealer (a good one, I think) said that they are in danger of losing their franchise by selling through eBay. She also claimed that the Bernina warantee is not valid unless you buy from an authorized dealer, which would mean that buying from a private party under any circumstances means you don't have a warantee - period. Anybody know anything about that?
A few years back I bought a 200E Bernina from a private party. She had maintained it well, and I tried it before I bought it. I was able to get a fab price, updated the machine to be like a 730, and all was well. I eventually sold the machine on eBay to raise $ for my 830.
It sounds like you are mechanical and computer-saavy enough that the learning to use it won't be an issue. Keep watching on CL, and tell your dealer what you are looking for. Many do get nice used machines in.
Also, you absolutely want a stitch count to know how "used" the machine really is. Good luck in the search. -- Edited on 9/3/11 1:16 PM --

A chalazion is a small bump in the eyelid caused by a blockage of a tiny oil gland.
Alternative Names
Meibomian gland lipogranuloma
A chalazion develops in the glands that produce the fluid that lubricates the eye. These are called Meibomian glands. The eyelid has approximately 100 of these glands, which are located near the eyelashes.
A chalazion is caused by a blockage of the duct that drains one of these glands.
- Eyelid tenderness
- Increased tearing
- Painful swelling on the eyelid
- Sensitivity to light
Exams and Tests
An exam of the eyelid confirms the diagnosis.
Rarely, the Meibomian gland duct may be blocked by a skin cancer. If this is suspected, you may need a biopsy.
A chalazion will often disappear without treatment in a month or so.
The primary treatment is to apply warm compresses for 10-15 minutes at least four times a day. This may soften the hardened oils blocking the duct, and promote drainage and healing.
If the chalazion continues to get bigger, it may need to be removed with surgery. This is usually done from underneath the eyelid to avoid a scar on the skin.
Antibiotic eye drops are usually used several days before and after the cyst is removed. However, they are not much use otherwise in treating a chalazion.
Steroid injection is another treatment option.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Chalazia usually heal on their own. The outcome with treatment is usually excellent.
Possible Complications
A large chalazion can cause astigmatism due to pressure on the cornea. This will get better when the chalazion is treated.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Apply warm compresses and call your health care provider if the swelling gets worse or continues for longer than 1 month.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if lumps on the eyelid continue to get bigger despite treatment, or you have an area of eyelash loss.
Properly cleaning the eyelid may prevent the condition from returning in people who are prone to chalazia. Cleaning the eyelash area with baby shampoo will help reduce clogging of the ducts.

Sens. Chris Dodd (D., Conn.) and Blanche Lincoln (D., Ark.) are trying to calm the fury among bankers and business groups over a last-minute change to the financial overhaul bill that critics now say could upend the way companies hedge against risk.
In the early hours of Friday June 25, Democrats altered a key provision to the derivatives section of the financial overhaul bill. It has a completely different meaning depending on who you ask. Some believe the language would require
The confusion stems from a part of the section, tucked into the 2,300-page financial overhaul bill, that says margin requirements "shall" be set against "all" uncleared swaps. Some companies believe they should be exempted because they aren't risky derivatives speculators, and fear it will drive up their costs. Several companies and business groups have said the language is such a glaring mistake that it could undermine the entire derivatives market, particularly for companies using these products simply to hedge risk.
But the language is in sections of the bill setting rules for "swap dealers," which are essentially banks or large derivatives traders regulators plan to place tougher restrictions on. Depending on how it is interpreted, the language could apply only to those "swap dealers."
Regardless, the confusion has led to an uproar.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R., Ga.) tried to reopen the derivatives section of the bill on Tuesday to change this provision. He was nearly successful, with his bid stalling in a 6-6 tie after Lincoln sided with Republicans. Democrats have said they would try to clarify the language through letters and floor speeches. A June 30 letter from Dodd and Lincoln aims to do just that.
"The legislation does not authorize the regulators to impose margin on end users, those exempt entities that use swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk," the letter said. "If regulators raise the costs of end user transactions, they may create more risk."
The Senate is expected to vote on the matter in mid-July.
Here's the language in the bill:
''(A) SWAP DEALERS AND MAJOR SWAP PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE BANKS.—The prudential regulators, in consultation with the Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, shall jointly adopt rules for swap dealers and major swap participants, with respect to their activities as a swap dealer or major swap participant, for which there is a prudential regulator imposing—''(i) capital requirements; and ''(ii) both initial and variation margin requirements on all swaps that are not cleared by a registered derivatives clearing organization.
''(B) SWAP DEALERS AND MAJOR SWAP PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE NOT BANKS.—The Commission shall adopt rules for swap dealers and major swap participants, with respect to their activities as a swap dealer or major swap participant, for which there is not a prudential regulator imposing— ''(i) capital requirements; and ''(ii) both initial and variation margin requirements on all swaps that are not cleared by a registered derivatives clearing organization.

The NBA game might not be as ferocious as the NFL or as bloodthirsty as the NHL, but it's still incredibly physical and head injuries do occur.
With that in mind, the NBA instituted a new concussion policy to begin the 2011-2012 season, one that includes greater centralization and additional safety checks that must be satisfied before a player returns to the court. Here is a summary of the pertinent details in a release from the NBA.
The National Basketball Association today announced the institution of a concussion management program designed to safeguard the neurological health of NBA players through a comprehensive framework of education, clinical management and data collection and analysis. The program went into effect at the start of training camp.While concussions aren't the hot button debate topic in professional basketball because there are no quarterbacks taking helmet-to-helmet hits and no forwards taking slashing hockey sticks to the temple, they do occur in the NBA. The relative rarity of concussions actually creates a potentially dangerous climate: When one occurs, players, first responders, coaches and management figures are all less experienced in properly dealing with both the short-term and long-term decisions that need to be made.
Among the highlights of the new program:
- The hiring of Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher as the Director of the NBA Concussion Program. Dr. Kutcher, Associate Professor of Neurology at University of Michigan, is a leading authority in the field of sports neurology and the Chair of the Section of Sports Neurology for the American Academy of Neurology.
- Providing annual training and education to players, coaches, and team medical personnel, tailored to their specific role and consistent with the evolving science of concussion management.
- Annual baseline testing of players, including both a neurological exam and a computerized cognitive assessment tool.
- A customized post-injury concussion assessment tool and multi-stage return to play protocol. In order to maximize the consistency of care throughout the league, all return to play decisions will be discussed with Dr. Kutcher before the player returns to competition.
- The documentation and aggregation of all data related to a concussion, and its diagnosis, management and outcome.
By adding Dr. Kutcher -- as both an accessible, experienced expert and as a centralized league-level reviewer of team behavior -- the NBA has seemingly taken an important step to protecting its players. Head injuries are tricky situations. Players feel an immense internal pressure to "shake offf the cobwebs" and help their teams, particularly late in games or down the playoff stretch. By rule, coaches always prefer players that can play to players who can't. Medical staffs are thus stuck in the middle, forced to make split-second decisions that balance the short-term need to win a contest versus the longer-term need to preserve the player's health. A league-level reviewer that oversees a player's "return to play protocol" is just extra insurance against a player pushing too hard to help his team or a coach that might be tempted to look the other way if the player says he is good to go.
We won't know exactly how this program will play out, unfortunately, until someone goes through the process. But it's good to know it's there, and it's nice to see the league get out in front of a controversial topic with a sensible plan, for a change.

Spain is about to discover whether 100 billion euros of emergency EU money is enough to bail out its crippled banks.
Independent auditors from the US and Germany have been studying bank balance sheets that have been hit by a collapsed property boom in the eurozone's fourth largest economy.
There are already doubts that the EU money set aside will be enough and market relief lasted only an hour after the bailout request was announced.
The audit has been carried out by consultants Oliver Wyman and Roland Berger and is the second of three reports.
It will be more detailed than the first, which was carried out by the IMF (Berlin: MXG1.BE - news) .
The third is still expected to be published at the end of July, despite reports suggesting it would be delayed until September.
Almost two weeks ago, Spain's government asked the EU for money to help prop up its beleaguered financial sector.
Although they haven't agreed on an amount yet, the eurogroup of 17 nations has offered up to 100 billion euros and it is widely thought that Spain will need all that and maybe more.
Forecasts of how much Spanish banks might need vary widely.
The IMF said they would require about 40 billion euros but JP Morgan has estimated 75 billion, as part of a wider package that would cost 350 billion.
The most worrying outcome from today's report would be if it concluded that Spanish banks needed more than the 100 billion euros set aside by Europe (Chicago Options: ^REURUSD - news) .
This, however, would be consistent with the trend set by previous European bailouts.
Greece and Portugal both required additional money after the initial injection of cash, but Europe has insisted that it will give Spain the money it needs and a little bit more to cover unforeseen circumstances.
The interest rate that the Spanish government has to pay on 10-year borrowing has twice climbed above the psychologically important 7% mark in recent weeks.
It is proof that Spain's fortunes, rather than Greece's, are key to the future of the single currency.
Francois Hollande, the new French president, has said that the high borrowing costs for Spain and Italy are unacceptable and Europe must show "a much faster ability to intervene".
That intervention might come via the two Euro bailout funds: The EFSF and ESM.
Journalists at the meeting of the G20 in Los Casbos, Mexico, were briefed that a plan mooted by the Italian PM Mario Monti might be implemented.
It would allow the EFSF and ESM to directly buy Spanish and Italian sovereign bonds in the hope that such action would help bring the yields (interest rates) down.
That would require approval from Germany which has so far been opposed to such measures - although it is likely to be discussed further when Angela Merkel meets Mario Monti, Francois Hollande and Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy in Rome on Friday.
It could be announced officially at an EU leaders' summit in Brussels at the end of next week.
Spain looked to raise 2bn euros at a sale of 2, 3 and 5-year bonds today and managed to easily secure that sum but the rates demanded for the bonds maturing in 2014, at 4.7%, were more than double those paid in March.

Lazares, 54, says in campaign material that, if elected, he wants to "ensure that the retired members' and the active members' retirement system is secure for the present and future, that the monies are spent wisely and that health-care crisis issues for the retirees are addressed." Further, Lazares says he wants "to ensure that the business practices that caused excessive spending and irresponsibility in the past do not happen again." Lazares said he believes the board has worked to correct many of the controversial business practices, but hasn't done enough. "I do believe they've made some improvement," Lazares said in an interview. "Still there's a lot of us who feel there needs to be more checks and balances." Last year, the teachers retirement system that now has more than $54 billion in assets came under scrutiny for giving out more than $14 million in bonuses to employees since August 2000 and spending $869,000 on eight pieces of artwork for its renovated office building in downtown Columbus. Over the same time period the value of the fund's assets had declined by at least $11 billion. Also, retirees have had to cope with reduced health-care benefits. Since the revelations, the bonuses have been suspended and the former executive director, Herb Dyer, has resigned and has been replaced by current Executive Director Damon F. Asbury. In addition to being the educational services center superintendent in a county between Dayton and Cincinnati, Lazares is also the superintendent of the Warren County Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities Department. Norris didn't return several calls seeking comment. But in campaign material the English as a Second Language coordinator for the South-Western schools, said he hopes to help the teachers retirement system continue to improve. In the campaign material, Norris didn't refer to the controversies of last year. But he did say: "STRS Ohio must strive for continual improvement, maintain high industry standards of quality while continuing to be fiscally responsible in its long-term financial plans. Nick Treneff, an STRS spokesman, said ballots have been mailed this month to active and in-active teachers who are allowed to vote in the election. Ballots are due May 3 and will be counted May 8, Treneff said. STRS officials said the retirement system has sent out 301,512 ballots.There are nine members of the STRS board and Lazares and Norris are vying for one of the five active teacher spots. The board also has one retired teacher's position and three ex-officio members -- the state auditor's office, the state attorney general's office and a representative of the state superintendent of public instruction. STRS serves about 400,000 active, in-active and retired teachers.
