Recent reviews
Good 3.7 /5 from 51 reviews
Great location, good breakfast too :)
The hotel room was small, old and felt unclean. Parking is nearly immpossibe and the spaces are incredibily small (watch your door dings). The check-in desk in not open 24/7. I would never stay here again. I will be asking for a refund from Hotels.com.as the hotel was not as described.
My single room was 802, but to get there I had to take the elevator to the second floor, follow the narrow hallway where the room numbers changed to 600, go almost to the end of that, then walk up two flights of stairs, then turn left and go to the end of the hall. There were a number of single unmarked steps down or up along the way which I tripped on 3 times. It is in an excellent location near the boat docks and across from the railroad station. I arrived from Munich by bus on the mainland but could find no taxis or busses. I asked 4 people for help. One said "No taxis," two would not even look at me and the 4th said I had to walk the entire distance to the hotel which took about 50 minutes, not easy for a 78 year old. I left by train.
We enjoyed the stay since it was close to railroad and things we wanted to see. The only thing we didn't like was how noisy it was at night with people talking loudly and and cars racing by.
Short one night stay to catch up with friends. Very nice accommodation. Central easy access location with car parking available. Would stay there again.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Dear Friends,
Please join our family as we remember our dearest daughter, Frances Cassandra on this day.
It has been a year since she passed away. We would like to invite you to come and share your greatest memories with her.
Together, let us celebrate her life and the 23 beautiful years she has so happily spent with us all.
Hope to see you there.
Due to restrictions on room capacity attendance is strictly by RSVP.
Please DM twitter @tonycoyne64 or email to email@example.com
A generous buffet will be provided with entertainment during the afternoon. Bar is available for those wishing to purchase drinks.
Frances was badly let down by Warrington Hospital, questions and requests for information have seen nothing other than an intentional cover-up and denial of information that points towards the truth of what happened, and why she was not treated despite evidence that she was critically ill.
Please follow the blog where I will expose the lies and bring those responsible to task Link Here Also, please follow the Twitter Account @FightForFrances

The Greatest Daughter Any Parent Could Wish For.
We have so many people to thank for all the support and love that has been given to us during this terrible time.
It is an impossible task to name and thank each of you personally, so many came together to offer assistance and friendship, especially to Frances' mother, Amy.
To the Filipino community, your love and warmth was overwhelming. We live our separate lives, we see each other often just passing in the street but when one of the community needs a friend, the selfless nature of the Filipinos' floods forward to help and protect their fellow people. These selfless actions are a tribute to the loving kind nature and strong bonds that Filipinos' possess, you are all remarkable people.
To all Frances' friends, thank you for all the kind messages sent via social media, over 1000 via twitter alone. To those friends that personally came to offer your condolences, to hear your words about your friend Frances' truly made us proud that our daughter had such beautiful kind people in her life, again thank you, please keep in touch.
Many of the organisations, companies, and agencies that give such kind recognition of the work that Frances had done for you, we would like to thank you for all your kind words. Frances was such a talented young woman and loved all the opportunities offered by you, thank you.
To Annabel Viar, the tribute slide show that you made was so beautiful, it chronicled the life of Frances wonderfully. You took the songs of Frances singing and her beautiful photos and produced the most fitting tribute one could ask for, thank you.
To Shane Murray, you were the greatest of friends of Frances throughout all her life. I am so grateful that you and Frances had done the musical video of your fabulous composition, "Do you Believe", that showed Frances just how we all like to remember her, smiling and happy. Your special tribute song that you wrote for her was fabulous, you are the most talented musicial
To Patrick, Frederick, Shane, Kristian and Simon. I need to thank you for helping me to carry our daughter on the final yards of her journey, you all were very brave and during those final steps, Frances was surrounded by those who loved her so much – Tony
Whilst Amy had the lovely support of the Filipino community, I would like to thank those that helped me, personally, so much.
Ian Hampton, you are such a wonderful man. Your kindness and support, you shared my grief, we laughed, we cried, you were there for me unconditionally, thank you . Theresa Hampton, you are a superstar at all times, words can never describe the comfort and help that you have given.
Bob May, your wit, humour and strength of character helped greatly to at least divert my attention briefly from the tragedy before me, I thank you Bob, you are a good friend. - Suzzane May, you are always a whirlwind of positive spirit, thank you.
Rick "Joe" Jackson, thank you, your presence is always a pleasure for me, we have had our moments of difference but you have always been there for me in time of need, thank you - Tony
Peter Gurney, thank you for your time to come and see me. I wish we had longer but I truly appreciate your friendship. - Tony
My cousin, Mike Taylor and my dear friend Neil Webb. Let's keep in touch more, you have been a part of my life for many many years, I thank you for all your love and support. - Tony

World Economic Forum participants in Nigeria applaud work for upcoming WEO special report on Africa
IEA Chief Economist meets with leading authorities and moderates session on continent's energy outlook
12 May 2014
IEA Chief Economist Fatih Birol and Global Energy Economics Division Analyst Alessandro Blasi travelled to Abuja, Nigeria, from 6 to 9 May to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) Summit and to meet with several African authorities for preparation of the World Energy Outlook 2014 Special Report "Africa Energy Outlook".
As part of the WEF programme, Nigeria's Minister of Petroleum and Minister of Power co-chaired a special session on the African energy outlook, moderated by Dr. Birol and with the participation of selected high-level personalities, including the USAID Administrator, the Minister of Energy of Benin, the Deputy Minister of Power of Ghana, the UN Special Representative for the Sustainable Energy for All initiative and top executives from Shell, Mitsubishi, Dow Chemical, ENI and other companies.
In the context of WEF Summit, the IEA Chief Economist delivered keynote presentations at sessions discussing the future of electricity and the potential impact of climate change on the continent. He also had several bilateral meetings, including with Nigeria's Minister of Petroleum, Minister of Power and Governor of the Central Bank, as well as with Japan's Vice Minister for Environment and the Ambassadors of several IEA members: Italy, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom and the European Union (who also hosted a dinner with 15 high-level participants).
The importance and timing of the "Africa Energy Outlook" study were unanimously recognised, with acknowledgment of its potential to contribute substantially to the continent's development. This was reflected by the level of engagement by government and central bank of Nigeria, which will be sending a senior official to the IEA to work on the report.

Wisconsin Ag News Headlines
Spring Planting Activity Nearly Done in Wisconsin
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 06/17/2014
Farmers could not have asked for a better week to drag their planters across the finish line last week. Although parts of the state experienced precipitation and thundershowers, sunny and windy conditions across the south reportedly dried and crusted soils, according to Monday's crop report from Wisconsin Department of Agriculture. Topsoil moistures were 15 percent surplus on average, compared to 21 percent surplus last week.
Reporters say the first crop of alfalfa had good quality and quantity, but in some areas there was not enough time between rains to make dry hay. Some crops like cranberries, grapes and blueberries were struggling to recover from the unusually long and cold winter.
As of Sunday, spring tillage was 97 percent complete statewide, with corn 96 percent planted and 88 percent emerged. Soybeans were also 93 percent planted and 76 percent emerged, with 77 percent in good to excellent condition.
Oats were 94 percent emerged, with 14 percent heading. Condition was rated 87 percent good to excellent statewide, the report said.
About 85 percent of winter wheat was heading, with 68 percent of the crop in good to excellent condition.
And the first cutting of alfalfa was 74 percent complete, up 25 points from the previous week. All hay was 89 percent in good to excellent condition statewide.

The benefit auction for terminally ill camera repairman Phil Jacobs has gone online, just in time for Christmas.
More than 150 photographic pieces were donated for the live auction on November 30, 68 of which were sold on the night, raising more than $14,000 for Mr Jacobs.
Auction organiser James Gilberd has placed the remaining art works on TradeMe to raise even more for his colleague and friend, and is hopeful the Christmas rush will get New Zealand art lovers bidding.
"It's a great Christmas shopping opportunity," said Mr Gilberd, who has used Mr Jacobs' camera repair services since 1985.
"There's heaps of stuff there. A lot of the pieces would make really great gifts. There's a range of prices as well.
"Some of them are under $100."
Seventy-nine items are listed on TradeMe, from landscapes to wildlife, more abstract pieces and photographs of New Zealand identities, such as Flight of the Conchords and Carmen Rupe.
Some of the pieces are by world- renowned New Zealand photographers, including Ans Westra and Karim Sahai, who donated three large framed photographs.
"Works like these usually sell for thousands and thousands at an art exhibition," Mr Gilberd said.
He described bidding on the items as healthy, but hoped more people bid, so at least $6000 more could be raised by December 18.
He said he was thrilled with the success of the live auction, which was held at Massey University's new art and design school building.
"We had a great turn-out. We filled an entire lecture theatre with people. And the venue was superb."
Mr Gilberd has given the cheque for $14,000 to Mr Jacobs, who had been "humbled" by the generosity of the Wellington artistic community.
"He isn't usually a centre of attention type of person, so he's been a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing," he said of Mr Jacobs, who has been repairing cameras in Wellington for more than 40 years.
"He and his family can really use the money. It will make the last part of his life a lot less stress- ful."
Information on the TradeMe auction is available online at philjacobsbenefit.weebly.com.

I was doubtful about ordering groceries online, but it was very easy, and they had every item I wanted. Prices were slightly increased, but they weren't unreasonable. The communication about my order was excellent and everything was there at my hotel and in perfect condition including fresh fruit that I ordered. I would definitely use them again.
What a great company! Excellent communication, order was waiting for us upon arrival. Will DEFINITELY use this service again and recommend garden grocery to everyone!!
Will use your service again. Way above my expectations. Food was here all we had to do was call Bell service to bring it to our room. Prices were very fair.

Snow performance
I have only one of the snow great performances. it was the one with the sun. i think one of the others has to do with the snake tounges, but i haven't but haven't been able to find it. help me. *helpless*
Answer from: Squishy
Take helicopter port 11 and keep to the left path, you end up on a thin path and come to the snake tounges. another one is where you jump across the rocks in the cosmos area, and the last is where you jump over the houses in the village it is easiest with the snowmobile. how did you do the sun one?
Answer from: Brian
In the village, there's a ramp at the top of the village...use a snowmobile and jump (without touching) the three buildings.... the other is in the cosmos area where you have to jump rock-to-rock...i haven't accomplished this one yet...tried and failed many times...

somehow my superstitions have done a good job of not including skipping too many beers... even when faced with the facts!ReplyDelete

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/221,276, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,714,199, filed Dec. 23, 1998, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/630,864, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,926,189, filed Mar. 29, 1996.
The present invention generally relates to graphic output of text, and more particularly relates to typographic glyph construction of a user's input text within a computer system.
Current computer systems provide individuals with opportunities to produce documents of professional quality, such as with desktop publishing software and graphics software programs. The ability to manipulate the appearance of the text within these programs is vital in allowing users greater flexibility and creativity in document production. Included in these manipulations are changes in fonts, justification, size, and other aspects of the appearance, such as bolding and italicizing.
Although most programs can perform manipulations with some level of success, each program has a limitation in its range of manipulations due to design considerations. Some programs, such as QuickDraw GX from Apple Computer, Cupertino, Calif., provide more sophistication and enhanced capabilities than other programs to allow more choices for users. Unfortunately, these enhanced capabilities are normally not transferable to other programs. Thus, attempts to incorporate such capabilities, such as different fonts, from one program into another are also usually quite limited and typically unsuccessful.
Accordingly, a need exists for a flexible and portable system that allows accurate and efficient manipulations of textual data in a graphics system. The present invention addresses such a need.
The present invention provides method, apparatus, and system aspects that construct typographic glyphs. In a first aspect, an apparatus for typographic glyph construction of input text in a graphics system running on a computer system and output on an output device of the computer system includes a line layout core unit that receives glyph codes and layout controls from the graphics system and determines glyph data descriptions. The apparatus further includes a glyph cache unit coupled to the line layout core unit for receiving the glyph data descriptions and determining if glyph data is in the glyph cache unit. In addition, the apparatus includes an open font architecture services unit coupled to the glyph cache unit for permitting support of multiple font file formats, at least one scaler unit coupled to the open font architecture unit for receiving requests from the open font architecture unit and interpreting font data within a font file, and a font object management unit coupled to the at least one font scaler and handling requests for the font data. The apparatus also includes an attribute group support unit coupled to manipulation of a data structure, the data structure for providing communication amongst the line layout core unit, the glyph cache unit, the open font architecture services unit, the font scaler unit, and the font object management unit.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, a method for processing input text in a graphics system running on a computer system and displaying typographic glyphs on a display device of the computer system includes mapping the input text into glyph codes, and forming an initial glyph record array, the initial glyph record array comprising a plurality of glyph records for the glyph codes. The method further includes processing a layout of the glyph codes to produce an updated glyph record array, rendering the updated glyph record array to produce a final glyph record array, and rendering a display of the typographic glyph output from the final glyph record array.
In a further aspect of the present invention, a system for typographic glyph construction includes a graphics system, a glyph server coupled to the graphics system, and an operating system coupled to the glyph server.
With these aspects of the present invention, an integration of components necessary to render lines of glyphs is produced. The integration of these components results in a flexible and portable unit that acts as a resource for calls for glyphs between a graphics and operating system, thus acting a sort of glyph server for the systems. These and other advantages of the aspects of the present invention will be more fully understood in conjunction with the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.
The present invention relates to typographic glyph construction in a computer system. For purposes of this discussion, typographic glyph construction refers to the formation of graphical representations displayed on a screen or output from the computer system based on the textual inputs and manipulations by a user, usually made via an input device, such as selection of keys on a keyboard. The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and is provided in the context of a patent application and its requirements. Various modifications to the preferred embodiment and the generic principles and features described herein will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
In order to more fully describe the present invention, some definitions for the terminology used herein is now provided. Text refers to words of something written or printed. Within a line of text, are several runs of text. A run of text refers to text sharing a same style within a line of text. Displaying of text occurs in the form of scripts, where scripts are styles of writing with characters usually resembling handwriting. Script examples include Roman, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, etc.
Characters are abstract objects having a single and unique semantic or phonetic meaning. Glyphs, as opposed to characters, represent the visual graphical appearance of a character. The particular representation of a character by a glyph is done in the context of the font, the font being a collection of glyphs which typically have an element of design consistency in their appearance. In a preferred embodiment, the font contains a table that can map characters in one or more standard encoding schemes to glyph codes and those glyph codes have meaning within that font.
Within a given font, such as Geneva, Helvetica, Times, etc., aspects including serifs, stroke thickness, ligatures, and contextual forms have a degree of commonality. Serifs refer to fine lines in printing used for finishing off main strokes of a character, while ligatures refer to rendering forms that represent combinations of two or more characters, such as the combination of an "f" and an "i" into "fi". Contextual forms are alternate appearances of a glyph whose use is dependent on certain contexts. Thus, the same character within a font may have different appearances, i.e., separate glyphs, each of which may have different contextual forms. For example, in Arabic, the same character can change appearance depending upon its position within a word.
A block diagram illustrating components of a glyph server 10 for typographic glyph construction in accordance with the present invention is presented in
As shown in
Accessing the font data tables, which store data for each particular font, suitably occurs by the line layout core unit 12 via the font object management unit 20. The font object management unit 20 is responsible for several functions, including knowing where the fonts are in the operating system 26, caching pieces of font file data for rapid reissue, and handling the requests for font file data itself. Further the font object management unit 20 capably performs these functions transparently to the rest of the glyph server 10 components.
Interpreting the proprietary or font format specific data within each font file provided from the font object management unit 20 is suitably handled by the font scalers 18. The appropriate font scalers 18 are preferably dispatched by the open font architecture (OFA) services unit 16. The OFA services unit 16 provides a mechanism that permits support of multiple font file formats and provides an interface for the glyph cache unit 14 to the font scales supporting the font file formats. The glyph cache unit 14, e.g., a 480 KB cache, suitably handles multiple requests at a time and manages the memory to store as much glyph data as possible.
In operation, the glyph cache unit 14 receives requests for glyph data and either has the data stored in the cache unit 14 or retrieves the data via the OFA services unit 16. By way of example, for a new request, an access sequence for glyph cache unit 14 according to a preferred protocol includes composing a glyph data description attribute group. For purposes of this discussion, a glyph data description attribute group describes desired glyph data including the glyph metrics or renderings and also may include specifics on the metrics, e.g., fractional or device metrics, or on the renderings, e.g., anti-aliased, as well as any other additional attributes required by the metrics or renderings. Attribute groups themselves preferably refer to structured blocks of memory organized as tag plus value pairs where variable numbers of variable length tagged data items are held with the values retrieved by knowing the appropriate tags, as is well understood by those skilled in the art.
The glyph data description attribute group is suitably used by the glyph cache unit 14 to organize storage of data results for a given strike description and is passed on to the appropriate font scaler 18 via the OFA services unit 16. A strike description refers to an attribute group type specifying an ID for the font used, transformation (e.g., 3�3 transformation matrix, point size, resolution, spot size, and flags), and font variation specification. Minimally, the strike description includes identification of the font scaler to be used to generate the glyph data.
The glyph data generation by the OFA services unit 16 preferably occurs according to a predetermined protocol. By way of example, for a new request, the glyph cache unit 14 uses OFA services API call to register the strike with the appropriate scaler 18 using the strike description. In return, the scaler 18 provides a moniker to accelerate the processing of the strike, as is well understood by those skilled in the art. The scaler 18 may cache an internal state. The OFA services unit 16 then requests information from the scaler 18 about the glyph data by supplying the glyph data description, strike description, and moniker. The scaler 18 then returns size information for the glyph data, such as whether the data is fixed or variable length, and exact or estimated size for each data item.
The glyph cache unit 14 uses the information aid prepares a memory area for the receipt of glyph data items from the scaler 18. The glyph cache unit 14 then uses an OFA API call to request the glyph data items from the scaler 18 for a set of glyphs, provides a pointer to the glyph cache unit 14 memory area to receive the glyph data items, the glyph data description, the strike description, the moniker, and a glyph result array. The scaler 18 generates as many glyph data items as possible that will capably fit in the designated glyph cache unit 14 memory area. When the glyph data items are of variable length, the scaler 18 indicates the number of glyph data items completed and the size of each. Thus, the font scalers 18 suitably deposit their generated results directly into the memory area of the glyph cache unit 14, avoiding data copying. Further, the glyph cache unit 14 remains unaware of the contents of the glyph data items, including the specifics of the new data descriptions while efficiently managing the memory to store them.
Suitably, for subsequent requests for glyph data generation via OFA services unit 16, the moniker and the strike description are obtained from the glyph cache unit 14. The sequence then proceeds as described above from the point of preparation of the cache to receive the data items from the scaler 18.
Continuing with the glyph cache access protocol, once the glyph data description attribute group is composed, a glyph data vector ID from the glyph cache unit 14 is obtained by providing the glyph data description and the strike description, which locks the identified glyph vector. A glyph vector is a strike description coupled with a glyph data descriptor that provides a set of cached glyph data items. After obtaining the glyph data vector ID, one or more glyph data addresses in the context of the glyph data vector ID are requested. The glyph data items are then used, and the lock on the glyph vector is released. For subsequent requests, instead of composing the glyph data description attribute group, a previously obtained vector ID is validated to lock the glyph vector and possibly return a new, updated vector ID before continuing with the rest of the sequence, as described above. The data description must always be supplied, in case the vector ID has gone bad.
In terms of the internal operations of the glyph cache unit 14 during an access sequence, a request is received by the glyph cache unit 14 for particular glyph data. If the glyph data is not in the glyph cache unit 14, the glyph cache unit 14 makes a request for the glyph data from the appropriate font scaler 18 via the OFA services unit 16. When the data is within the glyph cache unit 14 or generated via the OFA services unit 16, a pointer to each data item for the glyph within the glyph cache unit 14 is added to a glyph record array for the glyph data requested. A glyph record array preferably refers to an array of glyph records which are stored in display order and which contain various data concerning a glyph. The function and contents of the glyph record array are described in more detail with reference to the remaining figures.
If there is more glyph data requested, the sequence repeats itself until all requests are completed. It should be appreciated that for glyph data that is too large to be contained within the glyph cache unit 14, the request may need to broken up into separate requests. Thus, the sequence would suitably be repeated until all of the requests are completed.
In addition to the glyph cache unit 14, further included in glyph server 10 is the attribute group support unit 22. The attribute group support unit 22 suitably comprises routines to manipulate data structures used by all of the components in the glyph server 10 for communication. In general the attribute group support unit 22 provides a body of code that works within the structure of glyph server 10 to initialize, add, and access attributes in the attribute groups. In addition, the attribute group support unit 22 allows attribute group comparison for identical and congruent matches. With the ability to perform such comparisons, attribute groups are readily used as search keys in a cache, such as glyph cache unit 14, as is well appreciated by those skilled in the art.
For purposes of this discussion, a glyph record array is formed and added to during each phase of the processing by the glyph server 10. The initial glyph record array size is set by the graphics system 24. Relevant fields within the record array are designated with offsets by the graphics system 24 to the glyph server 10. For each phase of processing, some fields within the glyph record array are necessary and identified at the offsets where the code for each process reads/writes to those fields, while ignoring any other fields. Thus, the glyph record array provides a flexible structure that allows various phases of processing to operate on the same array.
Once the glyph record array formation has completed, layout processing occurs via step 56, the details of which are discussed with reference to
The non-positional processing step 100 refers to those adjustments, such as reordering of glyphs, ligature formations, insertions of glyphs, non contextual and contextual substitutions of glyphs, and rearrangement of glyphs, that are necessary to have the right glyph codes in the right order for display purposes. These adjustments to the non-positional aspects of the glyphs occur for linguistic and stylistic requirements to result in the proper display of the input text. There may be layout controls to effect a stylistic or linguistic behavior.
Once the non-positional adjustments have been made via step 100, they are added to the glyph record array via step 102. The glyph record array is then processed by the line layout core unit 12 for positional adjustments via step 104. Positional adjustments include tracking, justification, kerning, optical edges, baselines, and hanging punctuation adjustments. Kerning values for adjustments are preferably obtained from a common kerning table format or from a font scaler 18 via the OFA services unit 16, if necessary. There may be further glyph code manipulations (insertion, deletion and replacement). With these adjustments made, the glyph record array contains the final set of glyphs in the order that they will be displayed and with the adjustments to be applied to each glyphs' position, i.e., the positioning deltas, during display to form an updated glyph record array 106.
Referring back to
Pointers to the glyph renderings in the glyph cache unit 14 are then obtained from the glyph cache unit 14 via step 204. The pointers to the associated renderings are then placed in the array to form final glyph record array 206. The glyphs in the final glyph record array 206 are now ready for display with the associated positioning deltas and advance widths in the final glyph record array 206 for each glyph. As shown by
Thus, with the present invention, the ability to produce enhanced functionality for glyph rendering is achieved. Further, the present invention provides an integrated glyph server that is portable and flexible to produce the glyph renderings. Additionally, the glyph server is readily adaptable for use with a variety of graphics systems and is thus seemingly unlimited in the numbers of renderings capable of being produced, the numbers of renderings depending upon the graphics system itself. Also, new scalers and new font formats are easily added to the system of the present invention without modifying the major components of the system, which improves adaptability and provides an expandable glyph production system.
Although the present invention has been described in accordance with the embodiments shown, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that there could be variations to the embodiment and those variations would be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, many modifications may be made by one of ordinary skill without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the following claims.

Williams, CSF handle Riverside in Big West opener
FULLERTON – Cal State Fullerton senior Michael Williams burned UC Riverside early and often early Thursday night.
Then the Highlanders paid Williams quite an in-game tribute by running a variety of defenses at him, all designed to take the ball out of his hands.
Williams still finished with a game-high 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting as the Titans held on to win Dedrique Taylor's Big West coaching debut, 78-73, at Titan Gym in the conference opener for both teams.
"We've seen that in the last two games," Taylor said of UCR's ever-changing defense, which ranged from man-to-man, zone, box-and-one and double-teaming. "At the end of the day, it's a tremendous compliment to Michael.
"He still found a way to put points on the board."
Williams, playing his only season as a Titan after transferring from San Francisco, has scored in double figures in all 15 games for Cal State Fullerton (6-9). After not being able to play last season, he seems willing to accept what teams will run at him.
"I've kind of learned to take it for what it is," Williams said. "Today, my teammates made a lot of plays when they (the Highlanders) we're face-guarding me."
Steve McClellan backed Williams with 13 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Alex Harris had 13 points, hitting 10 of 12 from the free-throw line, and Josh Gentry scored 12. Taylor Johns led UCR with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
The Highlanders (5-10) shaved a 15-point Titans lead to 72-70 on two Nick Gruninger free throws with 23 seconds left. But Harris, Gentry and Williams each hit a pair of free throws the rest of the way to close it out. CSF made an encouraging (per Taylor) 76 percent from the line, and had 13 turnovers, the latter matching UCR.
"I'll take 13 turnovers any day of the week with what we've been having," Taylor said.
Williams said he got "a little anxious" in his redshirt year.
"I'm glad to be back on the floor with my teammates and coaching staff," he said. "We've let a couple games get away, but we're definitely turning it around."
