The Phone Call Song Lyrics
Airport announcement: Welcome to this airport.
Ground transportation for visitors proceeding to Monte Carlo
Is available on the lower level
Vinnie: Uh, hello? Mary Alice? Can you hear me?
Listen honey, I'm calling to tell you.
There's a problem. Are you sitting?
Well I won't be home for dinner tonight.
You know Nicky, Rita's husband?
Well I think he is planning to kill me
Mary Alice, it's not funny,
And I won't be home for dinner tonight
Don't hold the meatloaf, don't toss the salad.
Don't talk to strangers, and make up some excuse for mom
Call all my patients, break my appointments
Please, Mary Alice just be calm
Are you finished? Are you better?
Mary Alice you're overreacting
Honey Bunny, are you crying?
It's your birthday? Gee, I'm sorry
Mary Alice, it's only a birthday
So you're 40, I'm in danger.
And I can't come home for dinner
Blow out the candles, open the presents
Please Mary Alice,
I'm in Europe, in an airport
With no wallet, no cards and no money
With my sister, who is crazy
And who's got me in an awful jam
So the answer, Mary Alice is I won't be home for dinner
Mary Alice? Mary Alice? Damn!

No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitual carelessness of aim with the first shot.
Theodore Roosevelt, The Wilderness Hunter, 1893
They said the civilian model would sell for $1,995. Too rich for my blood, but a good looking pistol and I'm glad the Corps got this one.
I want one!!!
Never challenge an old man, because if you lose, youve lost to an old man, and if you win, so what?
Good looking gun,but 1995.00 is wediculous

Actually, they have been using 1911s for quite a while. Kimbers if I recall. These are simply to replace those that have worn out. I was a little surprised the USMC did not select the cheaper and, IMHO better suited, HK MK24....marking the first time in nearly 30 years that Colt pistols will accompany Marines into combat...
"It's not a .45 unless it has a Horse on it".............
And it is NY legal with its 7 round magazines!
Again I think it these 1911 guys behind the magazine limits!
In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress. -- John Adams
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! -- P.J. O'Rourke
I don't think the price for the "civilian" is out of line for a Colt. I like it but I am not a fan of the rail on 1911s I have a 1911 with a rail and never use the rail. It don't fit in my holsters so it needs a special holster. I can see the rail for the troops. but not for me. Nice looking new product.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.
Wyatt Earp
That's a sweet pistol. Looks sharp, great color.
But for the same money, I'd rather have the IWI Tavor Bullpup Carbine being revealed at Shot Show.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
I guess all the MEU(SOC) pistols that are built on Colt frames don't count.
"The only people I like besides my wife and children are Marines."
- Lt. Col. Oliver North
Hate to see it happen. Now the current administration is going to be classifying 1911's as a assault weapon and want to ban them from civilian sales.
Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

We look at:
The white sauce test assesses the ability of the simmer burner at low temperatures for a prolonged time.
Many gas cooktops are now fitted with a flame failure device, whereby the gas will either automatically cut out if the flame goes out or reignite automatically. CHOICE believes that this feature should be made a standard requirement.
Models without flame failure generally cost less and they still perform well so they may be tempting to buy. The problem is that if the flame goes out, gas can escape silently and invisibly.
In the past, we've tested models without flame failure and haven't recommended them. Here we've only included models with the flame-failure feature and will continue to do so in future tests.
Recommended retail, as of February 2015.
The overall score is made up of cooking performance (60%) and ease of use (40%).
Cooking performance is calculated from the simmering (low heat), turn-down performance, and high-heat scores, weighted equally.
The rice test assesses the ability and speed of the medium burner to boil rice, maintain a desired level of heat at lowest-temperature setting, and the cooker's turn-down capacity.
Many cooktops score poorly in our rice cooking test, leaving the rice either mushy or stuck to the bottom of the pan. Rice sticking to the bottom of the pan is probably due to the factory simmer setting being too high. If you purchase a cooktop and experience this problem, it may be resolved with a service call to adjust the flame.
The stir-fry test assesses the wok burner's ability to deliver continuous high heat.
Now we're cooking with gas!
We test 25 induction cooktops in the CHOICE labs including models from AEG, Electrolux, Fisher & Paykel, Miele and more.
Big decisions! Gas or electric? Ceramic or induction?

The birth control patch is a method of hormonal
contraception. Ortho Evra, the birth control patch, was introduced in 2002. The
patch is a highly effective birth control with approximately six of 100 women
becoming pregnant in a year of typical use.
A birth control patch is a small square patch that looks
like a band-aid. It
sticks to the skin and gradually releases hormones into the body to prevent
pregnancy. It is replaced once a week.
The patch contains two types of synthetic hormones: estrogen
and progestin. These are the same types of hormones found in most birth control
pills. When released into the body, these hormones prevent pregnancy by
blocking the ovaries from releasing eggs. They also thicken the cervix mucus to
keep out sperm.
You must have a prescription to use the birth control patch.
See your doctor to discuss whether the patch is right for you. The birth
control patch is very easy to use.
To use the birth control patch:
1. Start using the patch as soon as you obtain them if you
are reasonably sure you aren't pregnant.
2. Open the foil pouch so that it lies flat.
3. Decide where you will put the patch. You need an area of
clean, dry skin on your stomach, upper arm, upper back/shoulder, or buttocks.
4. Peel the patch off of the foil.
5. Peel half of the plastic off the patch, being careful not
to touch the sticky part.
6. Stick the patch to your skin, peeling off the rest of the
7. Push the patch against your skin using the palm of your
hand for 10 seconds.
8. Remove the patch on the same day the following week.
9. Apply a new patch in the same manner.
10. Dispose of the old patch by folding it in half so that
it sticks to itself. Place it in a sealed plastic bag, and throw it away.
11. Do this for three weeks. On the fourth week, take a
break from the patch. Then start again the next week.
When using the patch:
Every few days, it is also a good idea to check and make
certain the patch has not come loose.
If you discover that the patch has fallen off, consult the
pharmacy instructions for how to proceed. Plan to use a backup contraceptive
method for one week.
The birth control patch is very effective. According to
Planned Parenthood, the failure rate is:
It is important to change your patch at the same day and
time each week. Decide which day and time would be easiest for you before you
start using the patch.
The birth control patch is a simple and convenient form of
contraception. Benefits include:
The birth control patch does not protect against sexually
transmitted infections. It may also cause side effects, including:
If these side effects last for longer than 3 months, talk to
your doctor. A different method of birth control may be better for you.
All hormonal birth control has the potential to cause rare
but serious side effects, including:
There has been conflicting findings but the more recent and
larger studies demonstrate no difference in risk among estrogen containing
pills, patch or rings. However, the
overall risk is still low.
Complications are more common in women who:
If you fall into one of these categories, discuss with your
doctor whether hormonal contraception is right for you.

Gender Equality
CoE Seminar on "Combating sexist hate speech"
[12.02.2016] The CoE Gender Equality Unit and the No Hate Speech Movement campaign have jointly organised a seminar on "Combating sexist hate speech" held on 10-12 February 2016 at the European Youth Centre in Strasbourg. The seminar brought together youth and human rights activists, women's rights organisations, researchers and policy-makers to deepen the understanding of sexist hate speech and identify appropriate responses. Participants made proposals for the Europe‐wide Action Day against sexist hate speech which will take place on International Women's Day (8 March 2016), as well as for further Council of Europe action to prevent and combat sexist hate speech. Link to the programme. Link to seminar video. The report of seminar will be available shortly.
2015 annual report on the implementation of the CoE Gender Equality Strategy
[04.02.2016] The Council of Europe has just published the 2015 annual report on the implementation of its 2014-2017 Gender Equality Strategy, the guiding framework for policy change, aimed at realising real equality between women and men in the 47 member states. Activities in 2015 have reinforced the status of the Council of Europe as a leading actor on gender equality, including through and the promotion of its progressive standards and the sharing of good practices. This work has triggered both policy action in member states and legislative changes, with 18 countries making significant legislative changes to comply with Council of Europe standards on gender equality and on violence against women. Targeted co-operation projects have also provided national authorities with relevant standards and the tools and the expertise necessary to apply them.
Building on continued partnerships and synergies with international and civil society organisations and on its strong standards, the Council of Europe will continue its efforts to make gender equality a reality in Europe and beyond. Link to the report
GEC Chairperson speaks at a Workshop on "Electoral System Design and Increased Women Participation in Politics", in Ukraine
[03.02.2016] The Chairperson of the Gender Equality Commission, Mr Sergiy Kyslytsya, spoke today at a "gender workshop" organised by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, with the full support of the Council of Europe and in co-operation with the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. This activity is part of a global reflection on the reform of the electoral system of Ukraine, conducted in the framework of the "Electoral System Week" which takes place in Kyiv from 2 to 4 February. Further information
Serbia launches its first Gender Equality Index
[03.02.2016] On 2 February 2016, Serbia launched the results of its Gender Equality Index, making it the first non-EU country to produce an assessment of how equal women and men are in various sectors, by applying a broad scale of indicators. The Gender Equality Index is a measuring instrument of the European Union regarding gender equality, on a scale of 1 (complete inequality) to 100 (complete equality) and in six domains: knowledge, work, money, health, time, power, violence and intersecting inequalities. First Report on the Index of Gender Equality in the Republic of Serbia for 2016. Serbia scores 40.6 points out of 100, the EU average is 52.9 points, still very far from equality..
Human rights defenders highlight new challenges for women's rights
[29.01.2016] The office of the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights has published a report on a Round-table organised in July 2015 with women human rights defenders from over 20 European countries. The report focuses on themes closely linked to the Council of Europe Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017, including violence against women, access to justice, and gender-based discrimination and stereotypes in the education system. Participants reported clear threats to women's rights, partly linked to the resurgence of ultra-conservative trends in several European countries. Women human rights defenders underlined that the alleged "traditional values" some wish to protect are based on a patriarchal structure of society which perpetuates discrimination against women.
In addition, participants identified the worrying intensification of sexist hate speech against women in many European countries, including online, as a specific form of violence against women that needs further attention. This form of hate speech, which targets female politicians, journalists and human rights defenders but also ordinary women at work, in public spaces and at school, will be the topic of a seminar organised by the Council of Europe No Hate Speech Movement campaign, in co-operation with the Gender Equality Unit, which will take place on 10-12 February 2016 in Strasbourg.
New publication: paper on Article 17 of the Istanbul Convention
[25.01.2016] The Gender Equality Unit has just published a paper on Article 17 of the Istanbul Convention - Encouraging the participation of the private sector and the media in the prevention of violence against women and domestic violence. This is the latest paper in the collection on the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence.
This paper, as well as the previous three, can be found on the Gender Equality website under Violence against women.
If you would like to receive printed copies of this paper, please contact us: email@example.com

[21.01.2016] The Gender Equality Unit is pleased to make available a short film about the Conference "Towards Guaranteeing Equal Access of Women to Justice", held on 15-16 October 2015 in Bern (Switzerland). The video includes short interventions from speakers and participants.
Council of Europe Glossary on Gender Equality
[21.01.2016] The Council of Europe Glossary on Gender Equality is now available. The definitions included in the Glossary, prepared under the guidance of the Gender Equality Commission, focus on the current areas of work of the Council of Europe relating to the strategic objectives of the Council of Europe Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017.
Launch of Council of Europe monitoring on the participation of women and men in political and public decision-making
15.01.2016 – An online questionnaire prepared by the Gender Equality Commission and addressed to member states was launched as part of the 3rd round of monitoring the implementation of the Council of Europe Recommendation Rec(2003)3 of the Committee of Ministers on Balanced Participation of Women and Men in Political and Public Decision-Making. The 47 member states of the Council of Europe have six months to provide information on the representation of women and men in decision-making in their respective country in the legislative, executive, judicial and diplomatic areas. A report analysing the findings of this monitoring exercise will be published in due course.
Men continue to dominate decision-making throughout the EU - Gender stereotyping and lack of commitment are the biggest challenges, according to a new EIGE report
The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) has released a new study 'Gender Equality in Power and Decision-Making' showing that while women occupy one-third of top political roles in the EU, their representation is much worse in decision-making in the economic and social areas.
The report concludes that the under-representation of women is a result of persistent male dominant gender roles and continued gender stereotyping that lead to gender-biased recruitment and promotion procedures. Awareness-raising and legal or voluntary quotas are key tools to promote real gender equality in top jobs.
The achievement of a balanced participation of women and men in political and public decision-making, including through the implementation of the Council of Europe Recommendation Rec (2003) 3 on balanced participation of women and men in political and public decision making , as well as combating gender stereotype and sexism are two of the five strategic objectives of the Council of Europe Strategy on Gender Equality (2014-2017).

Regional Conference on Gender Equality in Electoral Processes, Tbilisi (Georgia), 25-26 November
The Gender Equality Unit participated in the regional conference on Gender Equality in Electoral Processes organised by the Venice Commission in cooperation with the Central Election Commission of Georgia. The conclusions of the conference, reflected in its Synopsis, underline the interlinks between women's under-representation in political life and other areas of gender inequality, such as gender stereotyping, under-representation of women in media, violence against women, and challenges reconciling families and elected offices. For these reasons, the participants agreed on the need for a holistic approach to facilitate women's access to elected offices and emphasized the continuing relevance of Council of Europe gender equality standards in this field.

Global Media Monitoring Project Report 2015 reveals a continued and severe disparity in the representation of women and men in the news media, in Europe and worldwide
Progress towards equality between men and women in the news media has virtually ground to a halt, according to the results of the Global Media Monitoring Project, released on 23 November 2015. Worldwide, women make up about 50 per cent of the general population but only 24 per cent of the persons heard, read about or seen in newspaper, television and radio news, which is exactly the same level published in the 2010 report. The Report for the 32 European countries included in the project shows that in Europe, women comprise only 25% of all news subjects and sources, 41% of reporters and announcers, and only 30% of authors of front page stories.
Combatting gender stereotypes and sexism is one of the five priority themes of the Council of Europe Strategy on Gender Equality 2014-2017. The Council of Europe Committee of Ministers adopted in 2013 a Recommendation on gender equality and media. A Handbook to support the implementation of this Recommendation by member States was published in February 2015
The 2015 Global Gender Gap Report shows that the gap between men and women in health, education, economic opportunity and political representation has been reduced by only 4 % in the past 10 years
Despite an additional quarter of a billion women entering the global workforce since 2006, wage inequality persists; with women earning now what men did in 2006, according the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2015. In relation to education, while more women than men are enrolling at university in 97 countries, women make up the majority of skilled workers in only 68 countries. Results on health and survival, the third pillar of the Report, show this area to be the one which is closest to parity, at 96%. However, despite this encouraging increase, overall the Health and Survival gender gap has slightly widened compared to 2006. Political empowerment, the fourth pillar measured by the Index, is the widest gap. This gender gap has only been closed by 23% worldwide, although this area has also seen the biggest improvement, up by 9% from 14% in 2006. The Nordic countries still dominate the Global Gender Gap Index, with countries from Europe and Central Asia occupying 14 of the top 20 positions in the Index, including the five top positions. Overall, countries from Europe and Central Asia have closed their gender gap by 74%, according to this Report.

[29-09-2015] "The Council of Europe confirms its commitment to Step it Up to close the gender equality gap and to continue contributing to the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and the Sustainable Development Goal 5. The Council of Europe's Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017 sets the following strategic objectives - all aiming at transformative action to achieve de facto gender equality :
A direct consequence of inequality is violence against women. Our "gold standard" - the Istanbul Convention - provides a comprehensive response to prevent violence, protect victims and prosecute the perpetrators. Its monitoring mechanism has just been set up and we all look forward to receiving data that will allow the states parties to better prioritise their actions and strengthen the effectiveness of their response to combat this heinous violation of human rights, together with our partner Organisations, including UN Women. I am proud to be a supporter of the "HeforShe" - "When you work in human rights you see that the strongest, safest and most prosperous societies are those in which women are empowered and the genders are more equal".

New Global Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted, including targets for gender equality
On 25 September 2015, the UN member states adopted the new global agenda for sustainable development: "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and 169 related targets, aim to end poverty, combat inequalities and promote prosperity while protecting the environment, all by 2030 and in all UN member states. SDG 5 focuses on achieving gender equality and includes specific targets among others, to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women and girls, eliminate all forms of violence against women; ensure women's full participation in all areas of decision-making in political, public and economic life; and ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights. In addition to SDG 5, gender equality is relevant for all the other goals and targets. The Council of Europe Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017 directly addresses many of the specific targets including the fight against gender inequality; ending violence against women and domestic violence, the promotion of the full participation of women in political and public decision making and the need to guarantee access to fair justice systems for all.

EIGE launches Gender Equality Index 2015: Marginal improvements in gender equality
The European Institute for Gender Equality launched the Gender Equality Index 2015. The Gender Equality Index is built around six core domains - work, money, knowledge, time, power and health – and two satellite domains: violence against women and intersecting inequalities. It is based on EU policy priorities and it assesses the impact of gender equality policies in the European Union and by Member States over time. In comparison to 2005, progress has been achieved in all the domains covered by the Index. However, when comparing the Index scores since 2010, the improvements are marginal with an overall score going up from 52.4 in 2010 to 52.9 out of 100 in 2012 (1 stands for "no gender equality" and 100 for "full gender equality"). The Council of Europe contributed to the plenary session "Toward a Composite Measure of Violence against Women". For more information and resources, see the following links:

"Gender inequality and violence against women are serious human rights concerns in Armenia. More vigorous efforts are needed to address them" said today Nils Muižnieks, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, publishing the report of his visit to Armenia from 5 to 9 October 2014
[10/03/2015] The adoption of gender-related action plans and the 2013 Law on Equal Rights and Equal Opportunities for Women and Men are steps in the right direction, but extensive gender bias still hampers the effective empowerment and equal treatment of women. As a matter of priority, the Commissioner recommends eliminating all vestiges of gender bias in school curricula, the adoption of a comprehensive anti-discrimination law, an increase in women's representation in public and political life, as well as more resolute measures to promote gender equality, including in the labour market.

Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland and Deputy Secretary General Gabriella Battaini-Dragoni
[08/03/2015] "Across the world, International Women's Day gives us an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater gender equality. We are encouraged to see some positive developments such as more laws criminalising domestic violence and other forms of violence against women.

A side event at the 59th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women organised in partnership with the Permanent Representation of the Kingdom of Belgium to the United Nations, UN Headquarters, New York, Conference Room 22 - GA Building, 9 March 2015
[23/02/2015] Gender stereotypes and overtly sexualised images of women feed into violence against women. They present a serious – and increasingly acute - obstacle to the achievement of real gender equality. The widespread sexualisation of women's bodies suggesting their permanent sexual availability and gender-baised customs and traditions contribute to treating women as subordinate members of the family or society. They also affect how women are treated and perceived by public institutions and societal structures. Abolishing negative gender stereotypes and sexism is therefore essential to achieving de facto gender equality. Committed to addressing the root causes of violence against women and to promoting greater equality between women and men, the Council of Europe Istanbul Convention aims at changing attitudes and eliminating stereotypes not only at the level of individuals, but also at the level of institutions. Media and Education are key agents for making this change. This Side Event will highlight the work of the Council of Europe in combating gender stereotypes and sexism and present the Council of Europe standards in this area: the Istanbul Convention, the Committee of Ministers' Recommendations on gender equality and media and gender mainstreaming in education as well as good practices identified in the member states on this subject.

Hi Puzzled --- thank you and the others for being so caring --- he is home but will be going back to have some minor heart surgery (if that is ever minor).
Great news!! I've gone the "minor" heart surgery route as well and came through OK, although some might wonder about mental repercussions. I'm sure he'll be just fine.
I finished on the way home in the commute traffic - some thought required, but yes easier than some others I've worked on.
An easy one ... for a change.
Well, once again I have no online puzzle. so I have downloaded pdf but haven't done it yet. Glad to hear encouraging news, Cave Lady. Thought about you all week.
Sometimes inspiration comes at the end... Puzzle wasn't a snap, but it wasn't soupy, either. Thanks to all at WSJ!
As always, much fun. We too loved 82A. How do these guys do it! Thanks
Well I finally did get the online puzzle. It was clever and fun.
Learned something I thought I would have known with brood of pheasants. Thx WSJ
I thought a brood of pheasants were called a covey. I did not know that word for brood.
Cave Lady, we are praying for you and your husband. I know the Great Physician.
Did this one at the beach! Got the theme early with 22A. So clever!! Also learned the pheasant term!
Good Luck CL and CM!
My old brain has difficulty figuring out 28a and 78 d. I got them, but don't really understand the clue. Help anyone?
Dock 581 - 28A is one of those answers I hate! The answer describes the vowel in the word "jet". 78D has to do with a phone dial, and what appears with the zero. Just checked my cell phone, and those letters aren't there.
Claudia. Groan!, but thanks
We'll I was with Claudia. So thanks for the explanation.
I should shoot myself for not deciphering 78D. I was a telephone executive for 40 years! Gawd!
Great fun as usual!!
Can anyone explain104a? Also 12d? Also 94D?
Can someone explain 12D, 104A, and 94D?
To Scott: Re: 12D, 104A, 94D. If you want explanations, go to Google, and simply type the word "define", put a colon, and the word you are interested in. For example, for 12D: Go to Google and type define; aside. You will be told: "Comment by a character heard by the audience but not heard by other characters on stage". For 104A. Type define: punt. You will be told: "an open flat bottomed boat". For 94D. Go to Google and type: define: opaque. You will find: "difficult to explain or understand". Hope this helps.
To Jerry and Maggie,
Thanks. that helped much.
Enjoyable, as always, WSJ. Not one of my favorite recent puzzles, but I always appreciate references to Rocky and Bullwinkle (1A).

CHARLOTTESVILLE -- In the first round of the National Invitation Tournament, the University of Virginia faced a team from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, a league whose members have never beaten UVa in men's basketball.
In the second round, the Cavaliers will meet a team from the rugged Big East. Moreover, that opponent, St. John's, is 7-0 all-time against UVa in this sport. The Red Storm edged Saint Joseph's in a first-round game Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
Virginia opened its 13th trip to the NIT with a 67-56 victory over Norfolk State before a vocal crowd of 4,790 at John Paul Jones. The Cavaliers' performance thrilled no one associated with their program Tuesday night.
"Obviously we'll probably have to play a little bit better to [beat St. John's]," junior swingman Joe Harris said as midnight approached.
The Wahoos (22-11) turned the ball over 17 times and made only 22 of 37 free throws. In the second half, they gave up eight offensive rebounds to the Spartans (21-12).
"We got just enough stops, obviously, to be successful," Virginia coach Tony Bennett said, "but we had trouble handling the ball, making free throws, keeping them off the glass, and those things kind of cost us. But enough plays were made on the defensive end, and a few buckets here and there, to keep Norfolk State at bay."
The officiating crew called 47 fouls Tuesday night, and at times it seemed the game would never end. Norfolk State, with 18 turnovers, was no more careful with the ball than UVa.
"It was not a pretty game at all," Bennett said. "But at this point, to be able to come away with one not playing well was important."
The MEAC's regular-season champion, Norfolk State scored the game's first eight points. By halftime, the `Hoos led 26-16, but their slow start reflected their general lack of concentration Tuesday night.
"That wasn't us," senior point guard Jontel Evans said. "We have to come out with more energy and more focus than that. If we come out like that against St. John's, it will be over."
The `Hoos will host the Red Storm (17-15) in a second-round game Sunday or Monday at JPJ. Virginia is a No. 1 seed in the 32-team tournament; St. John's, a No. 5 seed. An announcement on the date and starting time is expected late Wednesday night. Tickets for the game, $10 apiece, will go on sale at 10 a..m. Thursday.
In the teams' most recent meeting, St. John's defeated UVa 73-63 in an NIT second-round game in Jamaica, N.Y., on March 24, 2003.
The videotape of the Cavaliers' first-round game may give the Red Storm some ideas about how to stymie Bennett's team. UVa, which primarily faced man-to-man defenses during the regular season, appeared perplexed by Norfolk State's 3-2 zone for long stretches Tuesday night.
"We were very stagnant to start out against that zone," Bennett said. "Too many turnovers, guys looked uncomfortable. We haven't had a team play us quite like that most of the year. In the second half I thought we moved a little better. They played some more man-to-man, but even against their zone we had some more movement, and I thought it helped us."
All-ACC selections were announced recently. From UVa, Harris made the first team, 6-8 junior Akil Mitchell made the third team and Evans was a repeat choice for the all-defensive team. The Cavaliers' best player Tuesday night, though, was 6-6 freshman Justin Anderson, who finished with 15 points, five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one blocked shot in 30 minutes.
"That's what he's been doing all year," Mitchell said. "He makes a nice pass or a big dunk or whatever. He'll always find a way to spark the team."
Mitchell had a career-high five turnovers Tuesday night, and Harris had four. "They were out of sorts as far as the turnovers," Bennett said. "We just needed someone to make some plays and get us some easy buckets, and Justin did that. "
At times when the Spartans pressed in the second half, Anderson brought the ball up. On back-to-back possessions, he broke the press and found Mitchell for baskets -- the first a dunk and the second a layup that made it 44-38 with 7:30 left.
"He's a really good passer," Mitchell said. "He sees the floor very well. He dumps things off and makes the game a lot easier for all of us."
Anderson said: "I love it. From my young days, I always wanted to be a point guard, but God didn't make me like that right now, so you gotta do what you gotta do. But yeah, that was fun, for sure. I just love passing the ball."
Equally important, Anderson hit 7 of 9 free throws -- all in the second half. On a night when many of his teammates seemed lethargic, Anderson provided a much-needed emotional boost that helped the `Hoos stretch their home winning streak to 18 games.
"Coming off of not getting selected into the [NCAA] tournament, it's kind of a mental drain on your team, and you have to keep everybody encouraged," Anderson said. "I think that's a part of my role on this team, keeping everybody encouraged, keeping everybody motivated, and having fun out there on the court, and I think that's what I needed to do tonight."
Mitchell finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds -- his 12th double-double of the season -- and had a terrific second half. In the first 20 minutes, though, he had more turnovers (four) than points (two) or rebounds (three). Mitchell also missed all three of his first-half free throws.
"I just felt terrible the first half," he said. "I felt sluggish. The game was moving fast, and I couldn't really get going. It was just a rough first half."
Mitchell then missed three of the first five free throws he attempted in the second half. And so when Evans hit the head on the court after being fouled while making a layup, Norfolk State coach Anthony Evans selected Mitchell to shoot the free throw.
On the UVa bench, associate head coach Ritchie McKay kind of smiled at me and said, `They chose you,' and told me I was going to knock it down," Mitchell said. "From there on out, I was just more confident."
He completed the three-point play, making it 47-40 with 6:54 to play, and then hit two more free throws at the 1:31 mark.
Evans, after being examined by head athletic trainer Ethan Saliba and Dr. John MacKnight, checked back into the game with 3:58 left. "Neck's a little sore, but I'm OK," Evans said afterward.
Anderson wasn't the only UVa freshman to distinguish himself Tuesday night. Point guard Teven Jones replaced Evans in the first half and hit two 3-pointers, matching his career high, and forward Evan Nolte contributed seven points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes.
Nolte was on the receiving end of two hard fouls in the final minutes. Anderson wasn't surprised that the game got chippy.
He knew the Spartans "were gonna come in and they were gonna try to beat the state school, just as ODU did [in December]," Anderson said. "That bad taste I got from ODU came back to my memory. I knew they were gonna come in hungry and they were gonna fight. A lot of people look at our school and think we're a bunch of soft guys and all of that, but we're a tough team, and I loved how we battled back. We played through all the jawing that they did, and we stuck to our system, and I think that's why we were successful."
Bennett said: "We had just enough." In the end, that was the story of the Cavaliers' NIT opener.
"Like Coach said, that's the good thing about tournament play: You survive and advance and just try to play better the next game," Nolte said.

Capitals general manager George McPhee took a long look at his roster, saw the need for some additional scoring on the left wing, and identified Martin Erat as a possible solution.
That's when the real work behind the scenes began.
First, McPhee needed a strong sense of what kind of player he would be getting if he traded for the Nashville Predators' 31-year-old winger.
"He's a real good veteran player, terrific speed, good [hockey] sense and plays the game right," McPhee said.
Then he went to Capitals right wing Joel Ward, who spent three years with Erat in Nashville.
"He said after their captain [Shea Weber], he was a go-to guy in terms of commitment and leadership," McPhee said. "He works hard on and off the ice."
Once it was established that the Caps wanted Erat and that he was available – Erat said he asked Predators general manager David Poile to be traded – the next step for the Capitals was to decide whether they could trade the player Poile wanted in return – forward prospect Filip Forsberg.
"Is it worth it?" McPhee wondered. "We were looking at our hockey club and we said we'd like to add another top six forward if we can. How soon will Forsberg be able to play?
"The right side is pretty stacked right now with [Alex] Ovechkin, [Troy] Brouwer and [Joel] Ward and [Eric] Fehr and [Tom] Wilson. That's a pretty thick group there, so can we add a player that can fill out the other side of the roster?"
Because Forsberg was the 11th player taken overall last June, McPhee wanted more than just Erat. The Predators were offering a draft pick, but the Capitals' scouting staff wanted 21-year-old center Michael Latta, a gritty two-way center who had eight goals, 26 assists and 184 penalty minutes for the Milwaukee Admirals.
"He's a real abrasive player," McPhee said. "Our scouts said we'd love to get this kid if you can make him part of the deal."
Once he identified the three players involved in the deal, McPhee asked his scouts to write down their thoughts and vote on whether they'd make the trade.
"The vote was unanimous to do it," McPhee said.
So what does the trade say about McPhee and his expectations for the Caps this season?
"It's about trying to be a good team now and in the future," McPhee said. "The players have been playing really well and we weren't going to be sellers. We wanted to help them out if we could by adding another player and we did."
Did the Caps improve themselves with the trade? Absolutely.
Erat will give the Caps an offensive boost they hope will carry them deep into the playoffs. He also has two more years remaining on his contract, which carries a cap hit of $4.5 million in each year.
"He can continue to be a real consistent player," McPhee said. "He's got speed and when a guy can skate he can usually play for a while."
Erat said he asked Poile a couple weeks ago what his long-term plans for the Predators were and when he was told they wanted a youth movement he gave Poile a list of 10 teams to whom he would accept a trade.
Erat said the Caps were on that list because "they're always in the playoffs and they have a great team. They just have to show it on the ice. They're missing a couple pieces here and there but they have a chance to win."
The real question in this trade is just how good Forsberg will be when he plays in the NHL.
"They're never easy decisions," McPhee said. "It takes some guts to make them sometimes."
The message, however, is clear. Now that they're two points out of the division lead, McPhee wants to see what the Caps can do with a healthy lineup bolstered by a crafty veteran.
"The expectations are no different than what they were at the start of the season," McPhee said. "… To be a playoff team and you never know once you get in there. I think we've proven that when we're healthy we're pretty good. I just tried to make us a little bit better."

Congress Torn over Iraq Endgame ; Call to Withdraw Troops Is Splitting House Democrats - but Even Republicans Are Putting Pressure on the White House
Gail Russell Chaddock writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
Rep. John Murtha's call for the withdrawal of US troops in Iraq is roiling both parties on the war - and intensifying a debate that is rapidly moving beyond the capacity of party leaders to control.
The fracture lines are most acute for the Democrats. Their two House leaders are divided by Mr. Murtha's proposal. And their party's chairman, Howard Dean, spurred controversy this week by suggesting that victory in Iraq is not possible. Some Democrats fear that stand may undermine their party's claim to be strong on national defense - and weaken their prospects to make gains in next year's midterm elections.
"Until Murtha's statement, Democrats could hide behind the 'we support the troops but deplore the war' rhetoric. By laying down this marker on the war, he's put Democrats in a very tough position," says Ross Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J.
But most Republicans, meanwhile, weren't rushing to President Bush's defense, as he rolled out two big speeches in as many weeks defending the administration's record on a war that polls suggest has lost the support of most voters.
Underneath the public (and private) rifts in both parties, there's a growing consensus in Congress that the White House must be more concrete in defining what constitutes victory in Iraq - and more forthcoming in the metrics needed to measure progress.
After a two-hour caucus meeting on the war on Wednesday, Democrats emerged as divided as ever on the war. "We take great pride because we are not a rubberstamp caucus," said Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, who is endorsing the Murtha proposal. The No. 2 Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland is opposing it.
But Democrats are in agreement on the milestones they want met in Iraq. In a caucus with Democrats on Wednesday, Murtha, a 17-term Democrat from Pennsylvania, laid out the paper trail of his efforts to get more information from the Pentagon and White House on concrete evidence of improving conditions in Iraq.
He especially took issue with the administration's estimates of progress toward growth in the number of Iraqi forces prepared to take over responsibilities from American forces. The "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq," published last month by the National Security Council, reports "more than 212,000 trained and equipped Iraqi Security Forces, compared with 96,000 in September of last year."
That estimate is at odds with a Pentagon estimate in 2004 that more than 200,000 Iraqis were at that time trained and under arms, Murtha said. …
