OSU unveils new football uniforms
STILLWATER — The edgy Pistol Pete, eyes peering from beneath the big-brimmed cowboy hat, stands out on one of Oklahoma State's new Nike uniforms. On the hip. Of slate gray pants. And there are black pants and white pants and orange pants. And matching and mixing jerseys and helmets — yes, gray and black helmets — all part of a major wardrobe makeover for the Cowboys, who are getting the "Oregon" treatment in outfitting the football team. Talk of OSU unveiling new uniforms has buzzed on the internet message boards for months, with much anticipation surrounding what Nike may do. Well, the swoosh group has done a lot, providing the Cowboys with 48 uniform combinations including jerseys, pants and helmets in four colors — white, orange, black and gray. Cowboys quarterback Brandon Weeden, in the know for sometime, found it difficult to keep the secret. "I made a promise that I wouldn't say anything and keep it hush-hush," Weeden said. Until now, with the school unveiling its new look, or looks. "I think they're awesome," Weeden said. "I think it's great timing. We had our old uniforms for five or six years. It's 2011, you've got to change it up every once in a while. "I think the consensus among the players is that they're awesome. We love them." Said OSU cornerback Brodrick Brown: "The uniforms are terrific, all the combinations and the helmets to go along with it." Nike, co-founded by Oregon alum Phil Knight, started this with the Ducks, pushing the envelope on multiple combinations and colors for years. For this season, Nike's new designs will be featured at OSU, Arizona State, Washington State, Kentucky, TCU and Wyoming. And, surely, something is in the mix for Oregon, which received special treatment with a new look for the BCS Championship game in January. "I always was a humongous fan of Oregon's uniforms," Weeden said. "You'd watch an Oregon game and it was always like, 'What are they going to wear next?' "And it helps them with recruiting. Kids like that stuff and they want to go to Oregon because of all the varieties they have. They obviously have a lot more combinations than we do, but I think we've done a great job taking that next step." So, who decides what color or combination on any given game day? That is still to be decided, although the black jerseys and helmets should probably wait until cooler temperatures return. Maybe the team captains should decide. Or to engage the fans, maybe an online vote of the people would prove popular. In an interesting twist at Oregon, golf coach Casey Martin has been handed the tag of "Uniform Coordinator." Could Cowboys golf coach Mike McGraw be on call? Brown knows one thing, he's no fashion expert. "I'm not the style guy," Brown said. "We have guys on the team who are very stylish, and I'm not one of them. Whatever uniform they lay out, hey, I'll wear it." Still, Brown does have a favorite. "I always like the all-orange, orange on orange," he said. "Another I like is if we go with the black pants and the orange jersey and the black helmet. I think that would look sweet." Weeden's favorite? "I'm a fan of the gray," he said. "The gray is pretty sharp. There are some combinations there — gray and white, black and gray — a lot of good combinations. But I think adding the gray makes everything pretty sharp." Not that there's pressure to choose. "I like them all," said athletic director Mike Holder. "I'm probably more of a traditionalist, I like the orange. And our hope is that our fans continue to wear orange to every game. We don't want to change that at all. Whatever the players wear shouldn't affect the fans at all. "We're the Orange Army."

Found some cheap (some discount) tyres, but not sure if they're any good. It is for my fair weather, road bike that is used for both joyrides, training and commuting (no racing). Will go for 25mm, or even 28. Are these any good, which are the best bang for the buck in your oppinion?
My priorities are: speed, grip, comfort, then durability (especially at these prices). But they should be able to handle some debris, so no super-soft racing tyres. These all seem to be marked as "training", so guess they're OK?

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Where Do Kids Learn About Sex?
Abstinence vs. Contraception
As a presidential candidate, George W. Bush repeatedly expressed his support for abstinence-only school-based programs, saying a top administration priority would be to "elevate abstinence education from an afterthought to an urgent goal." In a speech delivered in July 1999, candidate Bush said, "It seems like to me the contraceptive message sends a contradictory message. It tends to undermine the message of abstinence."
The comments appear to contradict the findings of the nation's top public and private health organizations. A National Institutes of Health report, published in 1997, called sexual abstinence a desirable objective, but added that, "programs must include instruction in safer sex behavior, including condom use." The American Academy of Pediatrics weighed in on the issue in a report published early in 2001, noting that "all adolescents should be counseled about the correct and consistent use of latex condoms to reduce the risk of infection."
And a newly released NCPTP study evaluating sex education programs found that education efforts that discuss contraception use do not hasten the onset of sex, increase the frequency of sex, nor increase the number of sexual partners among teens. Likewise, making condoms and other contraceptives available in schools does not hasten or increase sexual activity, the report concluded.
A survey of parents, conducted last year by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, found that four out of five agreed that information about contraceptives should be included in school-based sex education programs. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy survey found that more than 90% of adults and teens said a strong abstinence message is important, but 69% of adults and 67% of teens said it was also important to teach contraception.
"Only a handful of conservative politicians are pushing the more stringent abstinence education, but they are very powerful," Dailard says. "And parents and teachers aren't willing to be real vocal about this issue."
Sanden calls the debate over abstinence vs. contraceptive use counterproductive and irrelevant, and high school junior Reid agrees.
"The fact is, teens need to choose either abstinence or contraception, and many aren't motivated to make that choice." Sanden says. "Kids who don't think about this ahead of time are the ones who have a huge risk of getting pregnant."
"I think you can get into a war of words with the abstinence vs. contraception debate, and you probably won't go anywhere with that," Reid adds. "Abstinence is the best and most desired method of preventing pregnancy, but it is also not very realistic for many teens."


text: Posted 17 Dec 2010 Yeah lets just get rid of anybody who shows any emotion or acts like they give a damn that they are losing. Everybody on that team is an adult and they need to take responsibility for what they are doing. Jimmy is sucking and needs to know it. Dont baby an adult. If he needs a bottle on the field then hes the one that should go. Sure smith has done some stupid things but not nearly as bad as Vick and theres lots of retards on here that want him here. He tortured dogs and drowned them and all that other crap. cmon now dude. so smitty punched somebody. big deal. its a physical emotional game. We need more people like him.

Sorry, I think the kid needs a break. He's made a couple of comments that seem to indicate that he's suffering from some sort of disability. His posts are annoying, but I think if we understood a little bit of his issues, maybe we'd appreciate the fact that he's not only riding a bike but aspires to be competitive.
I'm not the most friendly guy around here sometimes, but I think as a community, we've behaved shamefully.
"It hurts so good..."

Deepwater mystery: Oil loose in the Gulf
NEW ORLEANS Streaming video of oil pouring from the seafloor and images of dead, crude-soaked birds serve as visual bookends to the natural calamity unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico.
But independent scientists and government officials say another disaster is playing out in slow motion - and out of public view - in the mysterious depths between the gusher and the coast, a world inhabited by sperm whales, gigantic jellyfish and diminutive plankton.
More than a month after the BP PLC spill began, the disaster's dimensions have come into sharper focus with government estimates that more than 18 million gallons of oil - and possibly 40 million gallons - has already poured from the leaking well, eclipsing the 11 million gallons released during the Exxon Valdez spill.
"Every fish and invertebrate contacting the oil is probably dying. I have no doubt about that," said Prosanta Chakrabarty, a Louisiana State University fish biologist.
The deep Gulf is an area where light can't penetrate and researchers rarely venture.
Yet what happens there can ripple across the food chain. Every night the denizens of the deep make forays to shallower depths to eat - and be eaten by - other fish, according to marine scientists who describe it as the largest migration on earth.
In turn, several species closest to the surface - including red snapper, shrimp and menhaden - help drive the Gulf Coast fishing industry. Others such as marlin, cobia and yellowfin tuna sit atop the food chain and are chased by the Gulf's charter fishing fleet.
Many of those species are now in their annual spawning seasons. Eggs exposed to oil would quickly perish. Those that survived to hatch could starve if the plankton at the base of the food chain suffer. Larger fish are more resilient, but not immune to the toxic effects of oil.
The Gulf's largest spill was in 1979, when the Ixtoc I platform off Mexico's Yucatan peninsula blew up and released 140 million gallons of oil. But that was in relatively shallow waters - about 160 feet deep - and much of the oil stayed on the surface where it broke down and became less toxic by the time it reached the Texas coast.
Since BP's Deepwater Horizon exploded and sank more than five weeks ago, scientists said they have found at least two sprawling underwater plumes of what appears to be oil, each hundreds of feet deep and stretching for miles.
A plume reported last week by a team from the University of South Florida, was headed toward the continental shelf off the Alabama coastline, waters thick with fish and other marine life.
On Sunday, BP's CEO Tony Hayward disputed the existence of the plumes, saying testing by the company showed no evidence that oil was being suspended in large masses underwater. Hayward said oil's natural tendency is to rise to the surface, and any oil found underwater was in the process of working its way up.
However, the researchers said oil in the plumes had dissolved into the water, possibly a result of chemical dispersants used to break up the spill. That makes it more dangerous to fish larvae and creatures that are filter feeders.
Responding to Hayward's assertion, one researcher noted that scientists from several different universities have come to similar conclusions about the plumes after doing separate testing.
No major fish kills have yet been reported, but federal officials said the impacts could take years to unfold.
"This is just a giant experiment going on and we're trying to understand scientifically what this means," said Roger Helm, a senior official with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Mayan Culture Struggles in a TV World Guatemala's Peace Allows for More Cultural Expression, but Modern Influences Distract
Robert M. Press, Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
In a tropical forest in northern Guatemala, steep, narrow stone steps lead up the pyramid-like tomb of an ancient Mayan ruler. The structure towers above the tall trees, physical evidence of a once-mighty culture.
Now, after centuries of repression by the Spanish, dictatorial governments, and a just-ended 36-year civil war, Guatemala's Mayan descendants may be poised once again to assert their culture, having finally won government recognition of their legal and cultural rights.
The peace accord dealing with Mayan rights was reached earlier, in March 1995. Since then, the number of books, radio programs, and newspapers in local Mayan languages has increased. In the fall of 1995, Rigoberto Keme, a Quiche Mayan was elected mayor of Quezaltenango, Guatemala's second-largest city. Several Mayans were elected to Congress in late 1996. And a number of Mayan cultural and political organizations have been formed. The accord may be coming just in time. Interviews in various parts of the country indicate that just as the doors to greater expression of Mayan culture are swinging open, many Mayans, especially children, are losing their ability to speak their local language. And few adults show interest in traditional Mayan religious practices and healing methods. "TV has ruined the country," says Carlos Rolando de Leon Valdes, a Guatemalan doctor in this busy, commercial city, and a scholar of the Mayan culture. "We are in a new age," he says in his small office. "We have to think in a new way. My children don't think in Kakchikel {the original language of his Mayan wife}. They watch TV every day." And, he adds, his wife is not teaching them her Mayan language. "The peace accords will not bring change" in the Mayan culture in Guatemala, he contends. While most Mayans cannot afford TV, antennas are sprouting widely, and often attract crowds who watch through a window. Meanwhile, schools still teach in Spanish instead of one of the more than 20 Mayan languages. "A child enters school speaking his or her mother tongue, but in six years of primary education, leaves without being able to speak it and still not speaking good Spanish," says Gaspar Pedro Gonzalez, a Mayan author and scholar living in Guatemala City. Children learn their local language only in the family, and sometimes not even there. Far to the north, in the jungle community of La Esmeralda, near the town of Dolores, in the Peten region, a Mayan priest has built a small temple of sticks on a hilltop. But "very few" of the residents in the settlement come to his ceremonies, says the priest, Martin Gutierrez. …

"Small" Society and Networks: On the Meaning Lost in Semiotic Translation
Oleinik, Anton, Journal of Economic Issues
The continuous proliferation of publications makes scientific communication extremely difficult: "The contemporaries read each other much less than we usually suppose; most of what they learn about each other is gathered ex auditu from what they have heard from colleagues, students and reviews" (Bourdieu 1996, 17). In his autobiographical novel The Gift, Vladimir Nabokov gave an accurate account of the feelings of an author who progressively loses hope of being read: "500 copies of the book were published at his own expense, 429 of them are still stocked gathering dust in a flat pile at the distributor's depot. He gave away 19 copies and kept one for himself. Sometimes he was puzzled by the question as to who are these mysterious 50 and 1 persons who bought his book" (1990, 139). The counterargument written by Vincent Barnett indicates that, fortunately, this pessimistic picture is exaggerated. Ongoing intellectual exchange helps bring to light new ideas and clear up misunderstandings that are unavoidable in the initial stages of communication.
Communication is always a difficult undertaking, especially in the social sciences, where paradigms as commonly accepted analytical frameworks play only a minor role (Kuhn 1963, 86). Alternative approaches to the same subject coexist, and the progress of knowledge results from a complex and difficult process of mutual criticism and the interplay of arguments and counterarguments. Hence, the mere willingness to communicate requires efforts focused on the translation of messages from one language into another. As some adjectives and expressive forms used by Barnett suggest, he prefers a rhetorical manner of communication as opposed to a stylistic one. In a rhetorical text, the value and skill of an author "is manifest in the 'expressiveness' of the text, i.e. in the switch from one system of norms to another" (Lotman 1990, 51). Soviet/Russian studies as a separate discipline have developed a particular code adapted to the task of describing the phenomena specific to this country. Institutional theory has its own code, which allows for the introduction of more universal--less country--specific--categories. Barnett's attempt to reformulate the initial arguments in institutional terms seems promising. In what follows, I will try to take further steps toward translating the message of Soviet/Russian studies into that of institutional theory and vice versa.
The search for the most fundamental building block of economic activity gives us an excellent opportunity for doing so. Several analytical strategies are available for accomplishing this task. Semiotics offers one of them. The program of "deconstruction" can be interpreted as an attempt to reach the "ground zero" of the cultural edifice composed of different symbols. Not all signs and symbols are equally important; they repose on different layers of the edifice. The lower the location of a sign, the more autonomous and encompassing its role. The signs at the "ground zero" transform into "signs of signs" (Derrida 1967), or "plot-genes" (Lotman 1990), and they initiate the path on which all other signs relevant to a culture lie. If we perceive economic activity in a similar manner--as a stratified set of symbols--then the task consists in analyzing economic "plot-genes" (as in the case of money for George Simmel [1990]).
So far, we have not made any significant progress in the analysis of networks, which form the centerpiece of our discussion. However, this semiotic exercise in finding relevant metaphors will be helpful while revisiting Marxism and reconsidering the dialectics of the abstract and the concrete applied to the case of networks in my reply to Barnett's first note. Karl Marx's version of the economic edifice consists of several layers. According to Marx, property rights are too remote from "ground zero" to be considered as the most abstract element of economic activity, namely, its "plot-gene." The original wording of one of the core Marxian "theorems" highlights the marginal position of property rights: "[T]he material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production or-this merely expresses the same thing in legal terms-with property relations" (Marx 1970, preface). …

Baldwin County Commission votes to ban wind farms
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — A south Alabama county commission voted unanimously to block a company from installing wind turbines on Tuesday.
The Baldwin County Commission passed two ordinances to ban wind energy farming. One ordinance applies to areas of Baldwin County that fall within zoning regulations, and the other applies to unincorporated areas, AL.com reported (http://bit.ly/1eqihen ).
The commission was concerned about a plan from Virginia-based APEX Wind Energy to build a wind farm in the county consisting of about 40 turbines.
"I have had dozens of emails from around the country from people that say, 'You don't want this in your backyard,'" said Tucker Dorsey, commission chairman.
Officials have said concerns included noise pollution from the turbines, the size of the turbines and dangers they may have posed to flocks of migratory birds.
The commission passed a 180-day moratorium in February to block construction of the wind farm — and any other wind-operated facilities — while they considered the potential impacts.
The turbines the company was looking to build would have been between 520 and 590 feet tall from the base of the tower to the tip of a fully extended blade.
APEX Development Manager Wade Barnes said it's unfortunate that the commission chose against allowing individual landowners to decide whether or not to allow their property to be used for wind farming.
"In instituting a ban on wind energy, Baldwin County has sacrificed an opportunity to boost local economic development, and it has given up the chance to capitalize on a local energy resource that is clean, cost effective, abundant and homegrown," he said.
Former pharmaceutical scientist Dave Perry said he wanted the commission to extend the moratorium by a month or two to continue considering the possible impacts and long-term effects the ordinances could have.
"Twenty-five or 30 years from now we all may be dead, but the next generation may want to embrace this," Perry said. "They will have look at this ordinance and will have to make changes to this. Let's try to get it right the first time."

The Washington gymnastics team, making a surprisingly serious challenge for its first trip to NCAA nationals since 1998, fell agonizingly short of a necessary top-two finish Saturday night at a six-team regional meet at Edmundson Pavilion.
So near.
The Washington gymnastics team, hoping to overcome long odds and qualify for NCAA nationals for the first time since 1998, valiantly played the role of upstart challenger but fell short of a necessary top-two finish Saturday night at a six-team NCAA regional at Edmundson Pavilion.
Fourth-ranked Alabama, the defending national champion, and ninth-ranked Louisiana State claimed first and second place as Washington, trailing LSU by a wafer-thin fraction as the final rotation began, could not catch the Tigers and placed third.
Alabama, a five-time national champion, won its 27th consecutive regional meet with a score of 197.025. LSU was second with 196.075, with Washington (195.825) close behind, followed by Arizona (195.15), Iowa (194.6) and Central Michigan (194.15). Alabama and LSU advance to the 12-team national meet April 20-22 in Duluth, Ga.

"We've been saying that for two weeks (since the Pac-12 meet): On that day (of the regional meet), anything can happen," said UW coach Joanne Bowers.
"What was kind of cool was, it came down to the last performance," she said. "We lost by .25 to one of the top teams in the country. It hurts, but I'm proud of them."
Alabama's Geralen Stack-Eaton (39.4) and Ashley Priess (39.35) placed one-two in the all-around. UW sophomore Aliza Vaccher, winner of the vault competition with a personal-best 9.925, was fourth in all-around (39.225) and qualified for the national meet individually for the second straight year.
The 23rd-ranked Huskies were the No. 4 team in its six-team regional.
Arizona, ranked 16th, struggled early on bars while UW came out flying on vault, posting a season-best 49.2. The Huskies spent the night chasing LSU.
Washington entered the final rotation trailing LSU by 0.025 of a point (146.975 to 146.950). Bowers told her gymnasts to not listen as scores were being announced.
"We were doing the la-la-la thing," said UW senior Ruby Engreitz, an Inglemoor High grad who tied for fourth on bars with freshman teammate McKenzie Fechter (9.85).
UW would be on floor, LSU on beam.
"In many instances, the scoring (on floor) will go up as the meet goes on," said Bowers, a former judge. "Those judges did the right thing and stayed consistent. Didn't help us; but they did the right thing and stayed consistent."
LSU had five gymnasts score 9.8 or better on beam for a 49.1 team score. Washington recorded a 48.875 on floor. UW finished third on floor and beam, second on vault and bars.
Fechter placed sixth in all-around (39.175) and is an alternate for competing at the national meet individually. Junior Lauren Rogers was fifth on vault (9.85), sixth on floor (9.825) and 15th in all-around.
Junior Paige Bixler, UW's last competitor on beam, took fifth (9.825).
"They did a fantastic job," Bowers said. "We're all disappointed. To get that close and not get it hurts, but we did everything we tried to do. Potential-wise, I think we're showing we're on the verge of something really big here. I'm very, very proud of our team."

Puig pulled after four innings for displeasing effort
LOS ANGELES – Skip Schumaker gave the Dodgers a better chance to beat the Chicago Cubs than Yasiel Puig, according to Don Mattingly.
Or so the Dodgers manager felt midway through Wednesday's series finale, when he pulled the hot-hitting Puig after four innings of a two-run game and had Schumaker, the veteran utilityman, replace him in right field.
Mattingly indicated he was displeased with Puig's effort, but he declined to divulge further details, saying repeatedly that he wanted to keep the matter "in-house."
"I felt like at that point in the game, Skip gave us a better chance to win," Mattingly said. "Today, I felt like I was going to get a better effort out of Skip."
Dodgers right-hander Ricky Nolasco, who started the game, backed his manager and said Puig's actions were "unacceptable," but he later admitted he didn't know why the 22-year-old Cuban sensation was benched.
"He'll learn from it," Nolasco said. "He knows what he did."
So, what did Puig do? A few things, the combination of which appeared to push Mattingly over tolerance's edge.
After walking to lead off the first inning, Puig declined to slide into second on a Carl Crawford grounder, helping the Cubs turn a double play. Hanley Ramirez followed with a solo home run that could've brought in another run.
Then, after striking out in the third inning, Puig took his time in getting to his outfield post between innings and caught two balls to him that frame in his customary one-handed fashion.
Since being called up June 3, Puig had made a habit of sprinting full-speed out of the dugout to the outfield for each defensive half-inning.
Mattingly downplayed the catching style — "I played with Rickey Henderson," he said — but walking to the field might have been a bigger trigger.
"You know … I don't need to go into that," Mattingly said.
Puig, Mattingly and General Manager Ned Colletti held a closed-door meeting after Wednesday's win, delaying Mattingly's postgame news conference by roughly 20 minutes.
Through a translator, Puig said he had positive takeaways from the session and called Mattingly's move to take him out the "right decision."
"He told me I need to prepare well for each pitch," Puig said, speaking about defense. "It's true — there were some pitches I didn't prepare myself for."
While the Dodgers were in Miami last week, Puig was fined for arriving late to the stadium and benched for a game, after another meeting with Mattingly.
This time, Mattingly said he spoke to Puig like he'd speak to one of his sons.
"I'm not doing it to hurt him or his reputation," Mattingly said. "I'm trying to do what's best for him."
Center fielder Matt Kemp is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga.
Kemp (left ankle sprain) had one final test to pass before he got the OK to play in rehab games, and he cleared it Wednesday morning, completing an on-field workout in front of Stan Conte, vice president of medical services.
Kemp, who has played just one major league game since July 5, will be the designated hitter, and will transition to the outfield over the weekend.
Rancho Cucamonga's season ends Monday, if the Quakes don't qualify for the playoffs, after which Kemp could head elsewhere to continue his rehab or be activated by the Dodgers.
Roster space won't be an issue by then, as teams are permitted to use their entire 40-man rosters in September.
According to multiple media reports, the Dodgers agreed to a major league deal with former San Diego Padres right-hander Edson Volquez on Wednesday. Volquez could take over Chris Capuano's rotation spot. …
Mattingly indicated the Dodgers will immediately call up a few players once rosters expand Sunday. Outfielder Scott Van Slyke, infielder Dee Gordon and catcher Drew Butera are all likely to be with the team for the homestand finale, although Triple-A Albuquerque's season ends the next day. …
Right-handed reliever Jose Dominguez, out the past two months because of a left-quad strain, recently had a second MRI, but it revealed no damage. Dominguez, who has appeared in nine games, is not expected to be activated from the disabled list in the foreseeable future. …
First baseman Adrian Gonzalez, the team leader in games played, got the day off after going 0 for 9 with four strikeouts in the Dodgers' previous two games.

There are many different strategies to use while playing Zombies on Foundation. First of all, if the weapons are set on Magnums, get as much ammunition as possible and about three Magnums.

This is partly due to pollution, but even in the cleanest air the sky is lighter near the horizon due to the effect of earth's atmosphere on sunlight.

ATLANTA - West Virginia tried to Pittsnogle Texas.
The Longhorns Paulinoed the Mountaineers instead.
Kenton Paulino hit a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer Thursday as Texas outlasted West Virginia, 74-71, in an NCAA Tournament regional semifinal at the Georgia Dome.
"I was callling for the ball," Paulino said. "A.J. (Abrams) rushed it up the floor. He put it right on the money. I shot the ball."
The Longhorns (30-6) survive to face Louisiana State, which knocked off top-ranked Duke, 62-54, in Thursday's other semifinal, in Saturday's regional final. The winner of that 3:40 p.m. game advances to the Final Four.
West Virginia's Kevin Pittsnogle, whose reputation for hitting big shots has given his name verb status, tied the game with a 3-pointer with five seconds left.
Texas' Abrams quickly dribbled up the floor and passed to Paulino on the wing. His 22-footer was airborne as the buzzer sounded.
"I told A.J. to push it," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "We knew we would probably get a look."
Paulino's heroics nullified a furious Mountaineer rally led by Pittsnogle, WVU's tattooed big man. The 6-foot-11 senior, who is just as dangerous 20 feet from the basket as he is in close, scored 13 of his team-high 19 points in the second half as WVU came back from 12 points down.
Texas 74, West Va. 71
Records: Texas improves to 30-6; West Virginia finishes 22-11.
Nick of Time: Kenton Paulino hits a 3-pointer as time expires to put the Longhorns into the Elite Eight.
West Virginia (22-11) led 61-58 with 7 minutes, 15 seconds left before Texas went on a 7-0 run. P.J. Tucker's basket put the Longhorns up 65-61 with four minutes left, and Texas never trailed again.
LaMarcus Aldridge led the Longhorns with 26 points and 13 rebounds. Tucker also posted a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds.
Pittsnogle was one of four West Virginia players in double figures. Guard Mike Gansey scored 18 points.
Texas held a decided 45-16 rebounding advantage in the victory.
Pittsnogle sparked West Virginia early in the second half. He scored 10 of his team's first 21 points of the half, hitting his fourth 3-pointer of the game with 8:12 left to tie it at 58.
Gansey hit a 3-pointer on the next possession to give the Mountaineers their first lead since midway through the first half.
The Longhorns steadied themselves down the stretch, however. Five different players scored in the final six minutes.
Aldridge dominated early. The 6-10 sophomore resembled the varsity star playing in the freshman game in the first half. He made all eight of his shots - almost all of them right at the rim as Texas's guards broke down WVU's 1-3-1 zone defense - for 16 points.
Tucker added nine points on 4-5 shooting and grabbed six rebounds.
The Longhorns were so effective inside the guards took few shots. Starters Daniel Gibson and Paulino combined for just five while Abrams came off the bench to hoist five more.

I bought myself a blue bike. Is a blue bike a fast bike?
Printable View
I bought myself a blue bike. Is a blue bike a fast bike?
Mine isn't necessarily fast - but your blue version looks damn fast to me.
Edit - one blue deserves another blue
Yes. Blue bikes are fast bikes. It looks like you could get pulled over and given a speeding ticket on that thing.
your blue bike will be faster than mine because it is a more vibrant blue.
That is the question, isn't it?? Is the engine any good?? A Ferrari is only fast if the driver can efficiently shift it correctly... It is a sweet ride you added to the stable, though!!!
Once you get that engine tuned you may want to ask a stationary observer with a really good eye to check for blue/red color shifts as you approach and recede.
looks fast just sittin' there as they say !
lucky you !
Looks pretty fast. It would have been faster if it had been red, but some of us aren't made to ride communist bikes.
For the record, I love your Baron and this is one of my favorite blogs.
My blue bike isn't all that fast, but I blame the motor.
I've got this puppy coming to me this week.
Attachment 236928
I promise it will be fast.
Is this blue enough? :)
What is that? It's gorgeous.
Second...where can I get one? (I probably don't want to know how much it costs....)
Looks like a "John Morciglio" to me. It's a b-i-t-c-h-i-n' blue beaut to boot!
That MBB FWD is definitely a Morciglio bike, a HammerHead I think. John will make you one for a paltry sum roughly similar to the cost of a CA2. That sure is a pretty blue! John's on BentriderOnline, but if you're serious and can't find his addy, I think I can come up with it.
Chickenlipz, I'd say that blue bike is fairly fast. Are you doing any riding with Akigreg?
Yup, my blue bike is from John Morciglio. Custom builder in Michigan. This was one of only two Front Wheel Drive models that he's made, and probably the last. He says it's more complex to fabricate and fewer people like FWD.
I love the bike, though...
Fast?? Of course---havent you heard the phrase blue streak?

McIntyre Family in the Highlands:
The McIntyre Estate Vineyard is located in the central section of the Santa Lucia Highlands. Originally planted by the McFarland family in 1973, it boasts some of the Highlands' oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. A 1979 Pinot Noir from the vineyard, under the Stony Hill label, is still regarded as one of the finest early varietally-labeled Pinots from the district.
In March, 1987, Steve McIntyre purchased the eighty acre property. With his experience from neighboring Hahn estate, Steve was an enthusiastic early believer in the Highlands and was instrumental in helping define and promote it, eventually resulting in official recognition of the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation.
Steve McIntyre's three decades of experience as a winegrower in the Santa Lucia Highlands has translated into huge demand for his grapes. In addition to the fruit set aside for his own McIntyre brand, Steve sells Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the property to several other ultra-premium producers, including Morgan, Ariana, De Tierra, Joullian, and La Rochelle.
Early bud break and fruit set are one of the advantages of McIntyre's Highlands location. Mid-season leaf pulling and other canopy management techniques help focus the vines' efforts. Harvest on the McIntyre Estate typically begins in mid-September and can run into late October. The McIntyre family employs sustainable viticultural practices on the home estate through the use of bio-diverse systems and cover crops.
