This hasn't been a November to remember for Boise StateJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger 38 mins ago
ANAHEIM, Calif. — When Boise State coach Leon Rice assembled the toughest non-league schedule in program history, he couldn't have predicted how November would unfold.
He never expected the rash of injuries that has prevented his top players from developing into a cohesive unit during practice. Or the 36-12 disparity in free throw attempts that doomed his team to a season-opening loss at Montana. Or the scheduling quirk that led to his team facing 11th-ranked Arizona twice in 10 days with games against third-ranked Michigan State and mid-major power UC Irvine wedged in between.
The result is a 3-4 start for a Boise State team projected by many to win the Mountain West this season. The Broncos looked the part for stretches of their 68-59 loss to Arizona in the third-place game of the Wooden Legacy tournament, but their rally from a 19-point second-half deficit fell a few big plays short.
Boise State is 241st in the nation in points per possession surrendered so far, 200 spots worse than last season. The Broncos don't have a true center to alter shots at the rim, nor have they identified a defensive stopper capable of checking the opponent's top perimeter scorer.
Scoring change gives BYU star NCAA's career triple-double recordJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger 7 hrs ago
Any BYU fans disappointed that Kyle Collinsworth fell one rebound shy of a record-setting triple-double on Saturday night awoke to some good news Sunday morning.
Turns out the senior forward actually collected that last rebound after all.
In reviewing the game film of its 95-81 victory over Belmont, BYU uncovered a first-half offensive rebound and shot attempt initially not credited to Collinsworth. The NCAA retroactively approved the scoring change on Sunday morning, giving Collinsworth his first triple-double of the season and a Division I record seven for his career.
The rebound in question occurred with 2:54 left in the first half after Collinsworth missed a shot. According to a BYU release, Collinsworth "made a clear attempt to follow the missed shot with a left-handed tip, which missed and was secured by a Belmont player."
Collinsworth finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists on Saturday night and also played excellent defense against Belmont star Craig Bradshaw.

Another loss has injury-plagued Wichita State in a tough spotJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger 9 hrs ago
It's still only November, yet Wichita State is already in big trouble.
The Shockers are running out of opportunities to amass the quality wins they'll need to land an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
Shorthanded as a result of injuries to star point guard Fred VanVleet, key backup Landry Shamet and top big man Anton Grady, Wichita State fell 84-62 to Iowa on Sunday, sealing a last-place finish at the Advocare Invitational in Orlando. The preseason top 10 Shockers are now 2-4 overall after previous losses to Tulsa, USC and Alabama.
Other programs from stronger conferences can overcome a poor start by stacking quality wins during league play, but Wichita State doesn't have that luxury. The Shockers have to get most of their marquee victories in November and December because the Missouri Valley Conference seldom produces more than one or two NCAA tournament-caliber teams.
A combination of injuries and a lack of depth has been Wichita State's undoing so far this season. Standout guard Ron Baker has been forced to do far too much because the Shockers simply don't have enough guys around him that can generate offense.

Arizona's first loss should serve as an early reality checkJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger 1 day ago
FULLERTON, Calif. — In the aftermath of a 69-65 loss to an unranked Providence team whose best player spent half the game on the bench in foul trouble, Arizona coach Sean Miller made a startling yet telling statement.
"I leave this game feeling very, very good about our team's effort," Miller said.
Comments like that from Miller are his way of tacitly acknowledging that this Arizona team does not have the talent that previous editions have boasted. Those Wildcats coasted on occasion yet still captured back-to-back Pac-12 titles. These Wildcats can dive for every loose ball, scrap for every rebound and still lose to an unheralded opponent.
Their best player is a skilled but undersized power forward unlikely to make the NBA. Their defensive stopper is a junior guard who could scarcely crack the rotation the past two years. One of their point guards is a junior college transfer who's more of a scorer than a distributor and the other is a deft passer but stands just 5-foot-8.
This Arizona team doesn't have the sky-high ceiling of the previous two, but there's certainly room for growth.

Wayne Selden's resurgence sparks Kansas to Maui titleJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger 3 days ago
The Wayne Selden who tantalized Kansas with his assertiveness and efficiency this past summer resurfaced Wednesday night in Maui.
The mercurial 6-foot-5 junior torched Vanderbilt for 25 points on only 11 shots, more than enough to lead the Jayhawks to a 70-63 victory over the Commodores in the Maui Invitational title game.
Selden's performance capped a brilliant three days in Maui in which he showcased a lethal 3-point stroke and the ability to attack the rim. He averaged 19.3 points per game, sank 12 of 17 attempts from behind the arc and got to the foul line 12 times, exactly the sort of numbers Kansas coach Bill Self has been waiting for him to put up with regularity for the past two years.
A former top 20 prospect heralded for his size, athleticism and scoring prowess, Selden played in Andrew Wiggins' shadow as a freshman and failed to produce the breakout sophomore season many projected from him last year. He averaged slightly fewer points than he had as a freshman, shooting a pedestrian 36 percent from behind the arc while consistently struggling to finish in traffic in the paint.

The NCAA finally frees prized Kansas freshman Cheick DialloJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger 4 days ago
Kansas fans have chanted "Free Diallo" throughout this week's Maui Invitational.
Soon, they will get their wish.
The NCAA concluded a lengthy investigation into Kansas freshman Cheick Diallo's eligibility on Wednesday with the announcement that the McDonald's All-American forward will be eligible to play for the Jayhawks starting against Loyola (Md.) on Dec. 1. Kansas' matchup with Vanderbilt in the Maui Invitational title game on Wednesday night will be the last game Diallo will sit out.
"Our goal is to have eligibility decisions made prior to the start of a student-athlete's season," Oliver Luck, NCAA executive vice president of regulatory affairs, said in a statement. "However, this was a complicated case involving international transcripts and a high school that remains under review. Additionally, staff considered a complex set of circumstances regarding amateurism."
As for the amateurism aspect, the NCAA ruled that Diallo received a limited amount of extra benefits and will not be eligible for five games. The Maui Invitational title game is the last of those five contests.

Utah State denies transfer permission to speak with any other schoolsJeff Eisenberg at The Dagger 4 days ago
When he blindsided the Utah State basketball team earlier this month by quitting two days before its season opener, forward David Collette quickly learned a hard lesson.
College coaches seldom accept rejection gracefully.
Utah State officials informed Collette on Monday that they are denying his request for a release granting him and his family permission to speak with other schools. The restriction makes it difficult for Collette to transfer to another Division I program because coaches cannot communicate with him or his family without violating NCAA rules.
Collette can still enroll at another institution and then initiate contact with the basketball program, but he'd have to pay tuition on his own for the first two semesters. Cobbling together that kind of money would be no easy feat for a college sophomore married to another full-time student.
The timing of Collette's decision to transfer is Utah State's primary frustration. It left the Aggies almost no time to find a replacement for a 6-foot-10 forward who earned third-team all-conference honors as a redshirt freshman last season after averaging 12.8 points and 5.0 rebounds.

Troy Williams' mom is not happy with Indiana coach Tom Crean
Only hours after his team's upset loss to Wake Forest in the opening round of the Maui Invitational, Tom Crean's week in paradise somehow got worse.
Indiana forward Troy Williams' mother — or someone with access to her account — wrote on Facebook on Tuesday that it was time to get her son "the F--- OUT OF IU!!" after Crean benched him against St. John's. The full post is in the link below, but warning the language is explicit.
This from Troy Williams mom..my apologies for the fbomb https://t.co/E2ERydLYLM
Patty Williams quickly apologized with the following tweet: "I sincerely am sorry for my rude words! Please everyone involved don't take my anger out on my son. Thank you. I love him too hard I know." She has since turned her Twitter account to private.

Concussed guard sinks 3-pointer while still dazed and wobbly
His head throbbing, legs wobbly and eyes flickering, Trace Dimeff struggled to stand.
The Central Arizona College guard had just taken a violent knee to the jaw Saturday night while diving for a loose ball, but he refused to remain flat on his back on the floor with his team down five late in overtime. Dimeff instead staggered to his feet, lurched to the left corner and buried maybe the most improbable shot of the college basketball season thus far.
When you lowkey got a mild concussion but ball is still life & you gotta hit the clutch corner three w 5 secs left pic.twitter.com/BqX3v6M70w
"I don't know what my teammate was thinking, but he passed me the ball," Dimeff told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday. "I didn't even see the shot go in honestly. I started falling down right after I shot it, but I heard everyone start yelling. I think it was all muscle memory."
Dimeff isn't sure why referees didn't stop the game when he was writhing on the court. His memory of the shot is hazy, so he had no idea how frightening it looked until he and his teammates cued up the game film on a laptop on Monday morning.
Illinois needs buzzer beater to avoid a fourth early loss
As Illinois players spilled onto the court in celebration of Jalen Coleman-Lands game-winning 3-pointer on Monday night, embattled Illini coach John Groce could only muster a relieved smile.
Groce knew the Illini never should have needed last-second heroics to eke out an 82-79 victory over lowly Chicago State.
The shrewdly designed, well-executed play to free Coleman-Lands was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal Illinois performance. Inbound passer Malcolm Hill got the ball back via a handoff at the foul line, sped up court and fed a wide-open Coleman-Lands spotted up in the corner for a game-winning shot that beat the buzzer by no more than a couple tenths of a second.
Coleman-Lands' shot ensured Illinois would not start the season 1-4 for the first time since before the Cubs last won the World Series.The Illini (2-3) already lost a tough one-point heartbreaker to Providence and fell at home against North Florida and Chattanooga.

Did you know that a woman helped "bankroll" Jesus' ministry and the earliest Christian movement? If not, it's because our stories too often get lost in the mix -- or intentionally erased. If you did know, it's because someone thought to tell you the story. And because there have been some extraordinary prophets, preachers, activists and educators who have changed the world through their radical leadership, and at times, at the expense of their lives.
And in regard to the recent political firestorm about contraception, did you know that the head of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Cecile Richards, and the head of its board, Cecilia Boone, both of whom Auburn is honoring next month at our Lives of Commitment Benefit Breakfast, are people of deep moral conviction? If you didn't, it's because people who may not have the best interests of women in mind have taken responsibility for defining our values and telling our stories for us. If you did, it's because we are getting better at getting the word out about our own lives, our powerful leadership, our core values, and the women and men who have given their lives to get us to this moment in history, a moment in which we taste equality and see true freedom on the horizon for all our daughters and sons.
So let me be one of those people who take responsibility for telling our stories, so that they don't get lost in the mix.
Let me start with Janet Edwards and Joan of Arc, ridiculously under-armed women of relatively small stature who have taken on the powers that be and have changed history in the process.
Next, I think of Jane Fonda and Felicity, Melissa Harris-Perry and Perpetua -- people who stand their ground no matter what.
I think of Sojourner Truth and Leymah Gbowee -- the same one who said "Ain't I a woman?" to white women organizers, and the other who said to men at war, you'd better not turn to me for love if you continue to wage your wars of hate.
I think of Dorothy Day and Bishop Minerva Carcaño -- both committed to the working poor --one who served the Catholic Church with no official credential and grew famous, while ineligible for ordained leadership; the other, who broke through the glass ceiling as the first Latina woman to be ordained a United Methodist Church bishop.
And finally, I think of the women who have given their lives not only to the fight for equality, but for beauty and joy as well. I think of Lydia, a seller of purple, and Alice Walker, the conjurer of the same -- even though Alice needed to leave the Christianity of her youth because her people's former masters had forced it on her like a shackle. Even so, Alice Walker's art birthed one of the most important Christian movements of our time: womanist theology.
Of course, I really want to tell you about my mother and my daughter, the two faith-filled women whose daily heroism makes me pause in silent awe, even as I write this.
So I ask you to think of your list, near and far, and to write it. For we are legion; we are flanked by unsung heroes and buried champions. With each story we tell, we reveal the truth of our nature and render the image of God as reflected in all our myriad faces.
Perpetua and Felicity, a married noble and her slave, an expectant mother, who were martyred in the third century for their Christian beliefs. (Photo: Stained-glass window of St Perpetua of Carthage (church of Notre-Dame of Vierzon, France, 19th century): martyrdom of St Perpetua and her fellows in the stadium of Carthage; Saint Felicity on her left.)
Lydia, "seller of purple," a businesswoman and homemaker who opened her house to Paul and Silas, and is considered the first recorded European convert to Christianity. (Photo: A modern outdoor chapel on what is said to be the site where Lydia was baptized by Paul.)
Joan of Arc, a Roman Catholic saint, who was burned at the stake at age 19.
Sojourner Truth, an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist who famously asked, "Ain't I a woman?"
Dorothy Day, an American journalist and devout Catholic, who co-founded the Catholic worker movement.
Janet Edwards, Presbyterian minister from Pittsburgh, Pa., board member of More Light Presbyterians, who was tried and acquitted by her church in 2001 for presiding at the wedding of two women
Jane Fonda, feminist, activist, and actress who co-founded the Women's Media Center with Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem.
Leymah Gbowee, Liberian peace activist, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, organized a women's peace movement that helped to end civil war in Liberia in 2003. (Photo: Leymah Gbowee, a 2011 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, speaks during the presentation ceremony of the International Women of Courage Awards at the State Department March 8, 2012 in Washington, DC.

MOSCOW (AP) - A Moscow appeals court has freed one of the jailed Pussy Riot members but upheld the two-year prison sentence for the two others.
All three women were convicted in August of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred for an irreverent protest against President Vladimir Putin.
They argued in court on Wednesday that their impromptu performance inside Moscow's main cathedral in February was political in nature and not an attack on religion.
The judge ruled that Yekaterina Samutsevich's sentence should be suspended because she was thrown out of the cathedral by guards before she could take part in the performance.

Leaders Dare to Change Dark Continent; African Union Is Hopeful, but Doubts remain.(WORLD)(BRIEFING: AFRICA)
Byline: Paul Martin, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
LONDON - Fanfare, fireworks, dances by Zulu warriors and bare-breasted women, and a military flyby at a sports stadium before a cheering crowd of 30,000 in the balmy climes of Durban, South Africa, gave a spectacular greeting to the African Union this week.
It replaces the Organization of African Unity (OAU), which has been buried after 39 inglorious years. In that period, the body squabbled on every issue except ending apartheid and was helpless in the face of decades of misrule, coups, wars, famine, human-rights abuses and corruption on the continent.
Now, after the razzmatazz in Durban before 43 presidents and monarchs, lies a daring venture that could help transform Africa's image. It aims to move Africa toward dynamism, democracy and transformation, pulling itself up by its bootstraps, no longer to be perceived as a continent of helplessness and degeneration.
But this hope is accompanied by the fear, as expressed by some diplomats in Europe, that the mission statement could turn out to be brave but empty rhetoric.
"We are very excited," Bheki Khumalo, President Thabo Mbeki's spokesman, told The Washington Times in a telephone interview. "The Africans themselves are taking control of their own destiny. But we recognize it's not going to be easy, and we face huge challenges."
The immediate task, he said, is to set up structures to deal with civil wars and to ensure adherence to democratic values and human rights. Mr. Khumalo pointed to secret meetings, also involving U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, that were leading to troop withdrawals from Congo and a return to tranquility in the Great Lakes region of central Africa.
Mr. Khumalo's acknowledgement of Africa's shortcomings and his assertion that the continent has the will to address them is seen as an enormous advance. Mr. Mbeki had tried long and hard, for example, not to condemn too explicitly the abuses occurring just across the Limpopo River in neighboring Zimbabwe - hoping that quiet diplomacy and persuasion would check Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's support of violence against white farmers. The occupations of white-owned farms unleashed rapid economic collapse, hunger and turmoil.
Mr. Mbeki's efforts at diplomacy, despite support from Nigeria's experienced President Olusegun Obasanjo, bore little fruit. This demoralizing turn of events in part acted as impetus for major African democracies to demand a radical change of course.
The key to democratic change in Africa lies in two seemingly neutral words: peer review.
Messrs. Mbeki and Obasanjo have managed to get the African Union (AU) to endorse the idea that African states are no longer free to hide behind the OAU slogans of noninterference in one another's domestic affairs. The "peer review" mechanism will allow a committee of 10 leaders to evaluate one another's performance in achieving democracy and avoiding serious abuses of human rights.
"Peer review is a positive step, but only if the process is transparent and given teeth," said a statement from Human Rights Watch. "It must be backed up by institutions that can ensure proper scrutiny and enforcement of human rights."
That peer review does have some teeth was proved this year when a three-member Commonwealth committee, of which Mr. Mbeki was part, surprised doubters with swift action against Zimbabwe.
Days after that country's flawed election, conducted amid widely reported intimidation, had returned Mr. Mugabe to power, the panel's peer review declared the election was not free and fair and suspended Zimbabwe from the councils of the Commonwealth - a prestigious though not wealthy body that carries considerable clout among a quarter of the world's leaders.
The biggest and most obvious test for the African Union will come if and when an African leader is overthrown in a coup. …

Gerbil Fermishbaugh. Geraldine Ferraro and Rush Limbaugh had an interesting meeting of the minds this week. She with her Limbaughlike racist rant and he with his ringing Hillary "endorsement" (to "bloody-up Obama"). Everybody loves the Clintons!!!

Have you seen Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield's new dog, Ren?
The golden retriever, which they rescued during the holidays from a high-kill animal shelter through the L.A.-based Saving SPOT!, is beyond adorable.
And fitting in quite nicely with the beautiful Spider-Man couple. "You know, it's good," Stone beamed at last night's Gangster Squad premiere when I asked how things were going with the pooch.
And so is the news that the Spidey sequel begins shooting any day now. "We start in a couple of weeks," Stone said. "It's really soon. It'll be fun."
No word if Ren will be making a cameo.

Space Missions
Our Emissaries Across the Solar System
Since 1957, humanity has launched thousands of spacecraft. These robotic emissaries follow in the footsteps of their predecessors—testaments to our long-lived desire to understand our place in the Cosmos.
There are currently spacecraft exploring Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn, as well as a comet and an asteroid. The Voyager spacecraft are hurtling out of our solar system, while New Horizons speeds toward a 2015 encounter with Pluto. Closer to home, we have probes in lunar orbit, a handful of solar physics missions, space telescopes, and a small army of Earth-observing satellites. In Earth orbit, the International Space Station continues to soar around the planet with a continually staffed crew of astronauts and cosmonauts.
Our space missions pages are your portal to news and facts about our ongoing exploration of the solar system.

Curiosity update, sols 1073-1107: Driving toward dunes, distracted by haloes
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2015/09/18 07:40 CDT | 1 comment
Since I last checked in with Curiosity, the rover has been steadily driving southward, heading directly toward the Bagnold dune field. They are looking for a place to drill into the Stimson sandstone unit, but have been distracted by intriguing pale haloes around frock fractures. Despite a rough road, the wheels are not showing significant increase in damage.

Let's help take action to stop the vilification of black men in the media by offering alternative images...
What is Afraid of Dark about?
Outside of the Trayvon Martin case, black men are still being unjustly murdered. This is nothing new to the violence against black males in this country. America has been taught to fear the black man, hence the title, "Afraid of Dark". As a black woman, mother, lover and friend, this concerns me.
Let's work to change this!
The film explores two main stereotypes that have been played out historically - the Brute and Mandingo.
Here's the synopsis:
"Why is everyone afraid of black men?" In her new documentary "Afraid of Dark", filmmaker Mya B. attempts to answer this question. Through personal interviews and narration with writers, historians and entertainers such as Dr. Cornel West and Tom Burrell, Mya explores the history of two of the most prevalent stereotypes the "Mandingo" and the "brute". With a breakdown of scientific racism she examines how so many black men have been affected by those particular stereotypes throughout history and how

Ms. Truss talked about her book, Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation, published by Gotham Books. She detailed her obsession with good grammar and punctuation, and gave examples of incorrect usage of punctuation and language in Britain and the United States. She noted that she observes bad grammar everywhere, and that with the increasing disregard for punctuation and grammar in electronic correspondence and advertising, all hope for reform may be lost.

FERNDALE - Garden Fresh Gourmet has been named by the Michigan Food and Beverage Association and Detroit Association of Grocery Manufacturers Representatives as 2013's "Manufacturer of the Year." The company recently underwent a $1 million expansion.
The company will be honored at the 85th Annual Trade dinner, celebrating the food, beverage and agricultural industries, and benefiting the Michigan Youth Appreciation Foundation, on Thursday, March 14.
"We're incredibly honored to receive this award by the Michigan Food and Beverage Association," said Jack and Annette Aronson, founders of Garden Fresh Gourmet, who also are known for their commitment to support charitable causes in the community.
"Our number one goal has always been to make a great tasting product for our customers, and to be able to successfully do this from our own backyard while boosting the economy of Michigan in the process, is rewarding for us on every level," they said.
"What makes Garden Fresh so successful is that we employ an artisanal approach on the front end of the manufacturing process, literally making our products by hand," said Dave Zilko, vice chairman, Garden Fresh Gourmet. "This is the only way we can maintain our chef's orientation toward quality.
"Additionally, we use state of the art, even futuristic, machinery to not only package our lines, but to ensure they're the cleanest, safest food items on the market. No other food manufacturer in the United States combines hand labor and world-class technology to this extent. The results speak for themselves with respect to Garden Fresh's position in the marketplace."
"Garden Fresh Gourmet is one of the fastest growing food manufacturing companies in the country," said Ed Deeb, founder and chairman of the Michigan Food and Beverage Association. "Led by Jack and Annette Aronson, it is the largest fresh salsa manufacturer in North America. Our Associations honor those companies and individuals who have made an impact in the food industry. They have shown leadership and reach out to the people from the local community. We are proud to present this award to Jack and Annette, and Garden Fresh Gourmet."
Garden Fresh also is the leading brand of tortilla chips merchandised at deli counters, is the fifth leading brand of hummus in the United States and the third leading manufacturer. It is also the only company in Michigan to have high pressure pasteurization machines, having two of the only 100 that exist worldwide, meaning a longer shelf life for its products.
A business that originally started in their home, Garden Fresh is currently shipping roughly one million units per week. The family-owned company based in Ferndale employs over 400 food professionals. The company also reportedly has a robust recycling program, and it is constantly looking for new ways to decrease its carbon footprint.
Among the ways that Garden Fresh Gourmet gives back to the community is through its support of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center for blood disease, Children's Hospital and Boys & Girls Club, Salvation Army Bed and Bread Club and Forgotten Harvest.

Building and maintaining a culture of safety has become a key part of a patient safety program. Since the Institute of Medicine's To Err is Human was published 10 years ago, the healthcare industry has made a concerted effort to focus more energy on creating systems by which patients are kept more safe, and staff members are set up to succeed.
This year's Briefings on Patient Safety Culture of Safety Survey results show that while the overwhelming majority of hospitals are addressing their cultures of safety, there are certain areas to which more attention could be paid in the future.
More than 900 patient safety professionals answered the survey questions, most of whom (84%) worked at hospitals. When asked if they thought their facilities had strong cultures of safety, 41% said yes, and 57% said "We are working toward improving our culture of safety." This is encouraging, although perhaps suggests that healthcare as an industry may not have one "strong" culture of safety definition.
"I think that's a very positive thing, but I think the healthcare industry really needs to be careful of not becoming overconfident and complacent," says Ken Rohde, senior consultant for The Greeley Company, a division of HCPro Inc. "What the healthcare industry considers a strong culture of safety might be actually relatively weak compared to aviation or nuclear power or other high risk industries. If everybody thinks they're getting an A in healthcare, that might only be a C- in the rest of high-risk industries."
Another question on the survey asked respondents to evaluate what has caused (if any) an increase in the attention paid to creating and maintaining a culture of safety. The majority of respondents said that their hospital was motivated by external agencies.
Twenty-five percent said motivation came from increased requirements from accrediting bodies (The Joint Commission) and 34% said motivation came from large patient safety groups (IHI, National Quality Forum). Twenty-seven percent answered "It's just the right thing to do," 4% said a near miss or medical error had caused the facility to pay more attention to culture of safety, 1% listed an increased financial incentive, and 8% gave other reasons.
"We need to make sure we're getting away from being externally driven, because as soon as somebody backs off, the Joint Commission isn't pushing us, then people will slide right back to where they used to be," says Rohde. He also says he hopes that that next time the survey is conducted, more respondents answer with "it's just the right thing to do."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Re: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Grading & Discussion (Spoilers
See, I'm the opposite, I feel that the Moria stair sequence, while it had some great parts, really lost me with the tilting stairs in a way that The Hobbit didn't. I just couldn't bend my suspension of disbelief enough that I could feel that Aragorn and Frodo could tip the stair.
They didn't tip the stair on their own... the stair would probably have tipped as it did anyway, but their presence might have tipped it in a slightly different direction if they had applied their own weight in a different direction... so Aragorn wanted he and Frodo to reinforce the stairs' natural tilt by leaning forward.
Anyone can be cynical and say that this was still impossible, just as they could say that the bridge/ladder/pole stuff in the Hobbit was impossible. I actually thought that bit was entertaining, to be sure. But I wasn't involved in it. It didn't feel as big or as important as the tilting stair sequence. And it didn't serve to accentuate or develop the characters anything like I've demonstrated about the Moria sequence.
The other point I wanted to make in my post about the points I liked about the Moria sequence was how, when Frodo and Aragorn made it across, Howard Shore kicks in with his most bold use of the Fellowship theme... it truly symbolizes how together they were at that moment, after Aragorn and Frodo (normally the most isolated guys in the group) had made it to their friends.
No more adventures! I'm not going that way!

Instead of doing an hour workout at one time, I do 30 mins in the morning (pilates) and 30 mins in the evening (cardio and strength training). If I miss an evening workout, I won't feel so bad since I was able to workout in the morning. Also, I am not a morning person so I sleep with my workout clothes on. (clean ones, of course!) All I have to do is roll out of bed, start stretching and hit play on my DVD player to start a workout video!
I organize my day (sometimes the whole week) hour by hour. This helps me stay on track & be sure I get my workouts in 9
Don't fret about exercising late at night. It's better to get that workout in than to hold it off for the morning when you'll be too busy and it will be way too easy to say you don't have time. Some people are morning people, and more power to them ... but every time I've tried to set up a morning routine, I've failed to actually continue to exercise over a prolonged period. 11pm is more my style, and I've been able to keep on track much better this way.

From creating a mobile music and video recording studio to developing a service that transforms the family car into a stunt vehicle, Cayuga Community College students want to create their own futures and have some ideas on how they might do that.
The Business Idea Competition challenged Cayuga students to brainstorm possible business ideas, identify potential customers, and describe the methods they would use to market their ideas. Coordinator of the University Center at Cayuga Michael Greene organized the competition in partnership with Morrisville State College to support students interested in entrepreneurship. Morrisville awarded four Cayuga student winners cash prizes totaling $500 with funds from a Kauffman Foundation Enitiative grant.
Audio/radio production majorLance Hall '11 of Oswegosubmitted the first-place business idea: Mobile Studio, which he described as being an affordable service that provides musicians with the ability to record their music and/or make their own music videos. He received $200 for his idea.
Cayuga Community College President Daniel P. Larson congratulated Hall and presented him with a certificate during a May 13 event on the Auburn Campus. He also asked Hall how much capital he would need to launch his business.
"I don't know that yet," Hall said. "That's why I am going to take the entrepreneurship course next fall, so I can learn how to put together a business plan and financials."

Hi, in my table there are two columns which stores blob data one for csv and another for
( the whole excel file is saved in the blob type).
code i want to read that blob(excel) directly i mean there is nothing to write, you just need to read the stored excel file form the table column.
So far, im able to generate the excel by a piece of java code but what it is doing it is saving in location given by me e.g. C:\ drive. I don't want this. I want when the user clicks on Generate Report button then instead of saving at the given location, it should open the excel file directly and give a priviledge to the user to save at his/her own location (i mean not the hard coded location).
try{ File file = new File("C:\\xyz.xls"); FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file); byte[] buffer = new byte[256]; InputStream inputStream = null; if(bidManagerForm.getReportType().equals(BidManagerForm.EXCEL_REPORT)){ //For Excel Report //Get the binary stream of BLOB data inputStream = archiveBid.getExcelReport().getBinaryStream(); }else if(bidManagerForm.getReportType().equals(BidManagerForm.CSV_REPORT)){ //For CSV Report //Get the binary stream of BLOB data inputStream = archiveBid.getCsvReport().getBinaryStream(); } while (inputStream.read(buffer) > 0) { fileOutputStream.write(buffer); } fileOutputStream.close(); } catch(Exception e){ _log.error("Error in creating report ", e); }
I know i have specify the location where this file will be saved. This is just the temporarily basis. i don't want that.
If i write this only
File file = new File("");
this doesn't work( some constructor problem i think). How can i just achieve my target ?
Any idea

Ann's Instant Dumplings
Love dumplings but don't have time to make them? Cannot eat a whole pot of them by yourself? Make one or two delicious instant dumplings in the microwave in three minutes flat.
Did you know that you can make one or two servings of dumplings almost effortlessly in a microwave omelette pan? These gadgets are everywhere, but I had wondered if anyone actually uses them any more. If yours is getting dusty on a shelf, this might be a brand new way to bring it back to life.
I love dumplings, but with just the two of us, we don't need a big pot of them, and making a small batch always seemed like too much trouble. I'm quite a bit fonder of them than my husband is, too. He likes them once in a while, but not twice in the same month, whereas I could eat them day after day. Fortuitously, one day I had just a little bit of leftover chicken stew and decided to heat it up in one of those handy Nordic Ware Omelette Maker pans. I've tried cooking quite a few foods other than eggs in them because they are so handy in ensuring portion control and because the hinged lid is perfect for venting foods which need to release a bit of steam when cooking. They are the right size, stay relatively cool to the touch, clean up easily and do not splatter the inside of the oven. Just want to heat up one frozen tamale? Add a little broth and that is the pan to nuke it in.
Having put less than a cup of stew into the omelette maker, I decided to try pouring a little bit of instant biscuit dough over it, just to see what would happen. After cooking on high in the microwave for two minutes, I opened the lid and found that the dough had puffed up beautifully. We had two perfect servings of Impossible Pie ready to eat in an eyeblink. After that, I started using the omelette pan for other quick biscuit-topped entrees. Half a can of chili covered with corn bread became instant tamale pie. Everyone has heard of corned beef and cabbage, but I had never eaten cornbread and cabbage in the same dish before. But one day, on an odd impulse, I put these two ingredients together and quite by accident discovered how to make instant dumplings.
Although we are now retired, I still have the habit of preparing a whole week's meals ahead at one time. So the next week, I was making scalloped potatoes in a slow cooker, layering potato slices, cheese, ham, and sprinkles of instant biscuit mix drowned in milk. Mmmmm. At the same time, I had started a pot of soup. While my cabbage, carrot, celery, and onions were simmering in chicken broth, I realized that there was just a little biscuit mix left over from my casserole. Looking in the cupboard, I also found a dab of leftover cornbread mix from the day before. Combining the two dry mixes with enough milk to make a runny batter, I poured this concoction over a little bit of my broth-based vegetable soup, folded the hinged cooker in half, and stuck it in the oven. Before the pasta salad noodles had finished draining, there as a "ding" and what do you know?
Beautifully steamed dumplings, straight from the microwave oven! The onions and celery were diced small and the cabbage sliced thin, but I left the baby carrots whole. In addition to chicken stock, this soup was flavored with fresh grated black pepper. It looked good enough, but how would this taste? Well, to my view, the combination was perfect. The vegetables were colorful, but buttery soft and the dumplings tasted exactly like the ones we used to steam in a big pot back on the farm. The only difference was that a bit of yellow cornbread mix gave this microwaved meal an especially attractive appearance and a hearty taste without overpowering the dish or making it too dense. The dumplings were fluffy, but moist.
When I left the kitchen that day, I had quite a bit to show for it. Beautiful scalloped potatoes, pasta salad, a huge pot of soup, and a brand new recipe inspired by nothing more than a few scraps of leftover food and creative use of a versatile but once forgotten kitchen gadget. To tell you the truth, I still always make my eggs in a skillet, but whenever I want to whip out a hearty meal for two with savory filling under quick-bread topping, the microwave omelette pan is my tool of choice. How else could I put a comfort meal with farm fresh taste together from the idea stage to the table in less than three minutes?

A really handy tip I'll have to try when our children leave home and there's just my husband and me.
Sounds good but what is the recipe?
Sandra–How long will that be?
Howie–You don't really need a recipe, just pour a little of your favorite soup in the cooker and put diluted instant biscuit mix or instant cornbread mix (or a combination of the two) over it. I use milk to dilute and if I want dumplings use thin soup and dilute a lot, or for Impossible Pie use thicker soup and dilute just a little. LOL, that is what is so instant about these.
Wow, found this while searching for where to find Anne's frozen dumplings here in the North – a Southern friend recommended them. Anyway, being older & alone now I rarely bother cooking "real" food anymore, and when I do, I regret it because I've got to clean up the mess. Canned soup is so boring, I hate to admit it, but sometimes I'll eat it cold right out of the can. Thank you so much, now I know what to do with my dusty unused microwave omelette maker, and I'm looking forward to some "real" food again!!

As I met with people at RSA Conference last week, the common question was: What was interesting and new? My view was from the world of virtualization and cloud security, which often differs from general or mobile security. This show was more about general and mobile security than it was about virtualization and cloud security due to the confluence of VMware Partner Exchange (PEX) and RSA Conference. There were quite a few things that were new from the show floor, RSA Innovation Sandbox, and other conversations. Continue reading RSA Conference: What was Interesting

Does your hardware keep up with technology? Technology advancements have been and are moving at an incredible pace with new and exciting features getting added with each new release or update of a product. Unfortunately, technology can outpace are physical hardware which can leave us in a true troubleshooting nightmare. There is one specific example that I have seen a few times and is worth sharing.

News: Sky High Networks provides Cloud Service Security Ratings
There has been a dearth of intelligence reporting on cloud services and up until now we had to rely upon the Verizon Breach Report, Alert Logic's State of the Cloud report, the Enisa and other reports, but even so there was nothing specifically about a given cloud service outside the lightly used Cloud Security Alliances STAR self-certification. Instead you must imply something about a given service. This has changed. Meeting this need is Sky High Networks. Continue reading News: Sky High Networks provides Cloud Service Security Ratings
Atlantis ILIO Persistent VDI 4.0 – VDI Game Changer?
Atlantis Computing have released the first in-memory storage solution for persistent VDI. Setting aside the remoted experience, peripheral support, licensing and off-line access – the most nemesising nemesis for VDI is hardware scale. A major hardware limiting factor is storage performance.
In a transition from physical PCs to virtual work spaces you can move 50,1000,20,000 people from an environment where everyone has their own hard drive in their own device, to a shared environment where there are (hopefully) no longer 50,1000,20,000 hard-drives. You do this to achieve cost savings. Still, in the majority of instances, the desktop file system and the apps that run on it weren't designed to understand such consolidation. Many a desktop project fails because the storage infrastructure wasn't architected with these mismatches in mind.
Yet, desktop virtualization solutions have have matured to accommodate such issues. A range of increasingly impressive VDI appliances: dedicated drive arrays. Way back in 2010 we were reporting that Atlantis Computing were looking to Transform Desktop Computing with their In Line Image and Optimization (ILIO) product. Atlantis Computing's core ILIO product sought to address optimizing non-persistent VDI instances, then offered a RAM based solution with their ILIO DiskLess VDI, then presented a way to optimize Citrix XenApp instances. Atlantis' offerings look to dramatically reduce the physical hardware required to support virtualized desktop infrastructures.
And now to their portfolio, Atlantis Computing add ILIO Persistent VDI 4.0. Some early stability issues aside, Atlantis have developed a strong and supportive market and expanded on it. What is in this release? If 2013 is to be the year of VDI – how does ILIO Persistent VDI 4.0 help? Importantly, will Atlantis Computing's ILIO Persistent VDI change the game?

IT Automation: Where Is the Center?
Where is the center of IT Automation today? The network is the nerve center, the workloads are the brains, and the normal storage, compute, and memory are the other internal organs. The heart of our IT machine is often a management tool such as VMware vCenter, System Center, or something else entirely, but should our IT automation live within the heart when the heart only controls virtual and some physical components, or should IT automation be tied to the nervous system that crosses boundaries?

Building a Management Stack for Your Software-Defined Data Center
Data Center Virtualization has spawned several entirely new categories and variants of management software. This is largely because data center virtualization alone was a large enough change to create new requirements that legacy management products could not meet. This created a new constituency for management solutions—the virtualization team—which proceeded to purchase management solutions that met their needs. This trend was facilitated by the "easy to try and easy to buy" business model that many of the new vendors of virtualization management solutions adopted. Out of this a new management software industry arose. Continue reading Building a Management Stack for Your Software-Defined Data Center

It would be nice to have some kind of data how often TreeWalker code is invoked in browsers on average. (And maybe make sure to not count Acid3 runs.) We can make logical additions, but if nobody uses it there is no point.
+1 for me. More than once I've written a RejectChildrenFilter specifically to allow for a node to be accepted but for its children to be rejected. It's historically been the first thing I think about when it comes to TreeWalker.
Note that this would be a pretty different implementation-wise (and to some extent behavior-wise) from he current filters.
The current filters are implemented by calling the filter function for each node as we scan the tree trying to figure out which node to return. Once we have found a node we set the currentNode and return it. No state is used during the scanning and no state is retained from the scanning. Next time we need to scan for a new node to walk to, the only input into that algorithm is the currentNode that is used as a starting point for the scanning.
In order to implement this new proposed value we would need to either remember the fact that the current node returned FILTER_NO_CHILDREN. Or we would need to re-test the currentNode when we start a new scan.
Put it another way. How would you expect the following to behave:
text here
walker = document.createTreeWalker(document.documentElement, SHOW_ELEMENT, function(node) {
if (node.dataset.hideChildren)
return FILTER_NO_CHILDREN;
return FILTER_ACCEPT;
assert(walker.currentNode == document.body); // true
document.body.dataset.hideChildren = "true";
What is walker.currentNode at this point?
(In reply to comment #1)
> It would be nice to have some kind of data how often TreeWalker code is
> invoked in browsers on average. (And maybe make sure to not count Acid3
> runs.) We can make logical additions, but if nobody uses it there is no

Actually this proposal is brought by two posts on my blog that talk of an interview quiz for front-end web developers: how to filter DOM nodes on given condition (written in Chinese, don't know whether you could read).
As professional developers, we are encouraged to find various solutions so as to choose the best one and make websites better. Well yes, I don't see anyone using TreeWalker or NodeIterator. Why? Because they suck! TreeWalker is the slowest one among five solutions I provided. The best one is ten time faster than it!
And by the way, I don't think whether to fix a bug in spec depends on the number of people facing it. That's browser vendors' job. Since W3C focuses on delivering standards, the primary consideration should be "whether it is a bug or not".
"Oh, since nobody's using, so be it." There's an old saying in China: smash a pot to pieces just because it's cracked, which means to write oneself off as hopeless and act recklessly.
> In order to implement this new proposed value we would need to either remember
> the fact that the current node returned FILTER_NO_CHILDREN.
Right. That doesn't seem too terrible to me, for what it's worth....
It would result in somewhat awkward behavior in the example in comment 3, but I agree it's probably the best solution.
If someone implements this we'll add it to the standard.

The Lure of the Tug
I needed help understanding my serious tugboat fixation. So I turned to someone who I thought might be able to offer some insight, who might even share my minor passion for these workhorses of the sea—Joseph O'Toole, captain of the tug Ellen McAllister.
I inquired whether he'd loved them as far back as he could remember, the way I did. I realize I was being presumptuous, assuming he liked them at all—so what if he skippered one for a living? For all I knew, familiarity breeds contempt, even toward tugs. But it's my suspicion that many people harbor affection for these little vessels. As opposed to an ocean liner—certainly the current generation, which look more like floating condos than boats—a tug is something you can wrap your imagination around, that you can imbue with all the virtues you wish were easier to uncover in your fellow citizen; they're competent, uncomplaining, powerful but self-effacing, always ready at the rescue.
Captain O'Toole didn't jump at the opportunity to join me in the tug lover's chorus when I floated the idea that my relationship with tugs—and, I wondered, his?—was most likely formed in childhood, and possibly through children's books. "I grew up in the mountains of Pennsylvania," he explained, "the anthracite region. The closest I got" to the water "was the Schuylkill River, and it was only 3 feet deep."
But wasn't there some kid's classic that starred a lovable tug? Or maybe I was conflating several other stories—"The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge"; "The Little Engine That Could"; " Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel."
"Books never thrilled me," the skipper stated inauspiciously.
He explained that he'd developed his familiarity with tugboats during a 24-year Navy career. "I ran these tugs," he said. "This is an old Navy tug converted into a twin Z-drive."
Apparently, he meant that the boat's single "screw," or propeller, had been replaced by two others that had the ability to rotate 360 degrees. ("They're highly maneuverable," said Captain Patrick Kinnier, the port captain for the boat's owner, McAllister Towing, whose vessels have been plying New York Harbor since 1864. "My comparison would be a fixed-wing aircraft versus a helicopter. It can hover, feather, reverse thrust for backing up.") Indeed, we were witnessing some of those capabilities at that very moment, as the tug helped pull the gigantic Chinese container ship Yang Ming away from its Newark dock and into Newark Bay.
I was dealing with something of a learning curve. When I boarded the Ellen McAllister, at the company's dock just across the water in Staten Island, I was handed a life vest and told to report to the kitchen to watch a safety video. Apparently, tugs have the potential to be quite dangerous; the video addressed scenarios such as extinguishing onboard fires and becoming acquainted with the "man overboard" alarm (three long blasts of the ship's signal). And, whatever you do, never, ever straddle a towing line, which can carry hundreds of thousands of pounds of tension. The video included a very painful-looking simulation of what can happen to tug tourists, such as myself, who do.
When I emerged from the video screening we were already alongside the massive container ship—its hull looming a half-dozen stories above us, its tightly stacked containers another half a dozen beyond that. I wasn't aware that we'd already dropped off Bob Ellis, McAllister Towing's pilot, at the boat. Now on the Yang Ming's bridge, it was Mr. Ellis, rather than the ship's captain, who was issuing instructions over the radio to our tug, at the ship's stern, and to a sister tug at its bow.
"We're going to have to help her around the turn," Captain O'Toole explained, referring to the point of land that led under the Bayonne Bridge. "We'll push the stern around. Most ships won't make it on their own. It's greater than a 90-degree turn."
At that point, the tug's work would be mostly done, except to retrieve Mr. Ellis from the Yang Ming. "He'll go through the Kills and from there he'll go to sea," the captain said of the container ship, and referring to the Kill Van Kull, the strait between Staten Island and Bayonne. Midway through the exercise, he turned the wheel over to Josh Kicklighter, the 26-year-old—but even younger-looking—second skipper on board.
"He replaces me at noon," Captain O'Toole explained. "I work six to 12. He works 12 to six."
The crew works two weeks straight and then gets two weeks off, returning home. To my surprise, none of them reside in the New York metropolitan area. When here, they stay on board the tug. "I live in Florida," Captain O'Toole said. "Josh lives in South Carolina. Daniel lives in Florida. Luke lives in Maine."
Daniel was Daniel Worrie, a deckhand originally from Jamaica who doubles as the tug's chef and answers to the name Joe. "We named him Jamaican Joe and he liked it so he kept it," Captain O'Toole explained. Luke was Luke Hutchinson, the ship's taciturn but talented engineer.
I asked whether Joe was a good cook.
"He tries hard," the skipper answered.
What does the typical menu look like?
"Jerk chicken and meat loaf," Captain O'Toole reported. "Jerk meat loaf. Everything is jerk pretty much. If you don't like spicy you don't want to eat here."
The crew doesn't make it into Manhattan much, to take advantage of the city's cultural offerings. "Our job is pretty much 24 hours a day," Captain O'Toole said, as the 148-foot-tall Yang Ming ducked under the 151-foot Bayonne Bridge. ("At low water you get an extra four and a half," the captain explained. "We were probably four feet [away] when we went under the bridge.") The tug nudged up alongside it to retrieve Mr. Ellis. "New York doesn't stop," the captain said. "We don't get a chance to hardly do anything. It's hard to get food for the boat."
We turned back and headed toward McAllister's docks as the Yang Ming continued toward Sandy Hook and out into the open ocean. "He's going to Norfolk, Virginia," the captain said. "He'll hit a few ports on the East Coast, go through the Panama Canal. But he's too wide for that—the maximum is 965 feet by 105 feet wide. That guy is 132 feet wide. He'll probably go to Europe, through the Suez, and to the Far East that way."

GSE have today stated their commitment to the current plan/approach. Great.
Edit: Suddenly the timing of the above statement becomes clear - Gadsby's put another bid in, GSE have rejected it. Should make the next home game interesting. Can only see the pressure increasing on the Americans now.
And I have the strangest sense of deja vu!
I give Gadsby credit for being local and, so I believe, and actual fan, but does he really have the financial backing to do any better than GSE's backers? I mean last time he bought us he'd got rid within 18 months....I'd just hate for us to go through the same cycle again with him selling us off to the first promising buyer on the horizon.
If I'm honest I wish there was a third alternative, but then again that might be someone from the middle or far east so maybe it's better the devil you know!
