The oddsmakers are predicting No. 3 Alabama (4-0) as a four-point favorite over No. 12 Florida (4-0) in their SEC showdown on CBS Saturday night. But ESPN pundit Skip Bayless believes in underdogs – at least in Gators' case.
"I'm almost certainly wrong about this, but I'm going with the Gators," said Bayless, who picked the Florida Gators to upset Alabama 17-14.
Bayless added, "Florida's defense is vastly underrated. Loaded with blue-chippers and coached by a man I do believe in. We're talking about Will Muschamp because where there is a will, there is an upset going on and that's what I think is going to happen this time because A.J. McCarron is not Greg McElroy. He's not playing at that level, he's stoppable. He's going to have a hard time in the swap. This is all new to him. Lookout below, he's going to through some picks in this game. This [Florida] defense can shut down the run, it will control Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy. It will make A.J. McCarron make plays to win the game. It's going to be low-scoring and I also love what Charlie Weis is doing with John Brantley. He's a veteran starter who's doing Brady Quinn stuff at Notre Dame."
First Take's guest debaters Christian Fauria and Jemele Hill, formerly of the Orlando Sentinel, strongly disagreed with Bayless's pick.
"These teams are very much identical. They both have quarterbacks there not trying to put in troublesome situations and John Brantley, you mentioned what Charlie Weis is doing with him, all he's doing with him is making sure that the game doesn't come down to him. He's only got 86 pass attempts this season. Look, Alabama's defense has already proven themselves. I agree Florida's defense is a little bit underrated, but the way [Alabama's defense] shut down Arkansas to me shows they can stop a high-powered offense."
So what's your take? Does Florida have a good chance of beating Alabama or are they dead in the water?

A Confession
I don't think the quilting blog world is that negative.
There, I said it. You can all gasp in horror.
I don't get it, you guys. With only a few teeny exceptions, I have always found the quilting blog world to be very inclusive and positive and supportive. It is certainly vastly more positive than any other online community I've ever experienced. I have never seen anything resembling a clique or an "in-crowd."
No, I don't always receive replies to comments I leave on other blogs. But I assume that's because the blogger is busy, not because she didn't appreciate my comment. And yes, I have been rejected for a swap in the past. But I assumed that was due to practical limits on participation, not a personal rejection of my work.
The vast majority of negative posts and comments I've seen around blogland recently have been about the negativity. So you know how we can stop it? By stopping.
And that's all I have to say about it. Please know that I appreciate every single one of you, regardless of what you quilt, how you quilt it, where, or why.

i think it's common to confuse opinions with negativity. and, i agree with you- i may not love what some people are quilting, but it's awesome that they're doing it!

love your post; i'm here looking at everyone's beautiful goodies (and sure, sometimes the not so beautiful goodies). Maybe i'm missing it cause I hardly ever read the comments? Is that normal? :-)

I don't know where this circle of posts started but I have never received any negativity. Now granted I only have about 40 followers, but I love blogland and wouldn't think of saying anything negative on someone's blog. People who do are just jealous or mean. There, I had my say so too!

Well said. I joined the blogging community because I think online quilters are welcoming and great. I love being a part of things. Here's to keeping quilting blogland a very happy, positive place.

BIG Hug Lee!!! I think you Kelly and exactly right.
I think some of us are taking other people's opinions a little too close to heart.
Life's too short : ) Read it. If you don't love it. Forgettaboutit!! <--(in the voice of an italian gangsta)

Yikes. I just read that Stitched in Color post. Totally shocked by some of the comments!
Personally, I don't see the quilting blog world as being negative either. Mostly I see it as inspiring, even if my taste might differ to somebody elses.

- Marg said...
I have never received any negative comments about my quilts or crochet either. Real life acquaintances now that's another matter entirely.
I joined the blogging community so that I could find inspiration and information. Both of those are in abundance, there are so many fabulous blogs out there.
I have learnt so much since starting blogging and made some wonderful friends too.
I don't always totally love what I see, but I think it's fabulous that so many people are being creative and having fun with what they are doing.

- Georgia said...
Oops, might just clarify a little - I didn't find the original post overly negative - had no problem with it at all, but some of the comments seemed unnecessarily mean and nasty. All a bit sad really.

- Kate @SwimBikeQuilt said...
Hear, hear. I don't get all of the talk either. There are a handful of quilt bloggers that drive me nuts, so I don't read their blogs. I admire their quilts on flickr and move on. I tend to think that it is silly to be intimidated by other quilters--the only way to get better is to put in all of the time sewing that they have already put in, you know? I will never so as straight as Rita of Red Pepper Quilts, I'm not patient enough. But I admire the heck out of her ability to do so!

Gotta agree, I've received 2 nasty comments in my blogging "life", one of them literally made my jaw drop, but that's the exception, not the rule. ;)

- two hippos said...
Yes, thank you! I'm confounded as to where this commentary about "negativity" is coming from. I think kelly is correct that many seem to think "opinion = negative" whereas I think "opinion = something to think about." There's nothing negative about expressing preferences, and I've rarely if ever come across someone who stated something critical in a mean-spirited rather than constructive way. I also don't understand being intimidated by what someone else does well -- it gives me something to aspire to, even if my version is imperfect.
- April 27, 2011 at 11:24 PM
- Kati said...
Finally someone says something sane in all this craziness. I was so bothered and even shocked by how mean people were in some of the comments on that post. I think you are completely right. The negative comments just fuel any negativity that is out there. I have found fabulous, positive people in the online quilting community, almost without exception.

- Marlene @ KISSed Quilts . com said...
Knock on wood...haven't seen any of the negativity that you're speaking of.
After taking the process pledge (inspired by your blog link Lee), I've found myself documenting more of what I do and hoping it inspires someone else in the process.
I am quilting because I hope to share inspiration with others and create a legacy of treasures for those who receive them.
A small group that I started this year is going through the book 'Fearless Design' and have learned (hopefully) to critique without being critical. Find what speaks to you and affirm that in what the quilter has done. It is art and that is always in the 'eye of the beholder' ;-)

Wow. I have never considered the quilting world to be negative in any degree! This is the first experience I have ever had getting any responses to blog comments. I have never been treated unkindly. Just the opposite. Everyone I have dealt with has been just delightful. Thank you for posting this. I totally agree with you!
- April 27, 2011 at 11:57 PM
- Jennifer said...
I feel exactly this way. I think a lot of people interpret things as negativity because of a number of things... for example, I can sometimes view a post as discouraging because of my feelings of insecurity and inadequacy. People interpret what's going on around them based on their own feelings and experiences. If a woman is used to being put down, perhaps by a significant other or parent, then she might interpret regular critiques as harsh criticisms. Like Kelly said, it's easy to confuse opinions with negativity, especially since so much of the tone is left to the imagination on the internet.
In high school, there were girls who felt like they weren't part of the in-crowd and that really bothered them, and there were girls who weren't part of the in-crowd and didn't really care. It depends on how that girl is feeling about herself. It's not that it's wrong or bad to want to be one of the cool kids, or feel excluded or put down. Feelings aren't wrong. It's just the only part of the situation that we can control-- how we feel about it. It might take a lot of work to accept ourselves and feel good about our abilities and decisions, but it's going to be the only way people are going to feel better about other peoples' successes and opinions.
Sorry, this comment is so long but I can't seem to edit it down any farther! I am too wordy ;)

Interesting. I have always seen positive, supportive comments on everyones blogs. People who make quilts are generous, kind and loving people because making a quilt is a gift of love.

- Sel's Quilting Blog said...
I agree! Generally, the quilting blogosphere isn't very negative. (At least, not that I've seen.) However I have seen distinct 'sniffs' directed at some quilters who don't do things the way other quilters think they should.
All in all, though, there are plenty of lovely quilters around the traps and it's a pleasure and a delight to read them!

You know I'm with you 110%, and you're absolutely right - let's just stop the madness! I have "met" some of the nicest people here in quilty blogland, and I think it is a very welcoming community, personally, and I certainly hope that we can stop this negativity once and for all because it sure isn't helping us make pretty things or showing others how wonderful quilting is.

amen, lady.
I'm with the previous commenter who mentioned it's more about you than anyone else. If you yourself are positive, and you see the bright side of situations, you should be just fine :)

Totally agree!! :) I blog for me and I'm a positive person. I don't blog for anyone else! Bonus I have friends and regular readers, but I always remember why I blog and tend to avoid/ignore others who blog for attention.

Yay! Tell it like it is ... I don't think it's a negative community either, but just like real life there's bound to be a few people mithering away in the corner.
I just ignore em!

I find the blogging community as a whole to be very positive and supportive generally speaking. I have been concerned that there has been a series of posts saying a particular bloggers opinions were wrong. I can see how the post sparked feelings though some of the responses were far less than kind. I was most concerned about a rejection to join a charity bee because when reviewing the requesters blog it was felt her style was not what they were looking for. I have to say, as someone who has a strong interest in modern quilting but has not yet ventured into that too far, I'm not sure I'd ever seek to join a bee, block exchange etc. It was a huge turn off. It's not going to stop me from venturing in the direction I want to go though.
When I started blogging, I had absolutely no expectations. Just thought I'd share a picture or two and get comments from my friends IRL. I have been amazed and surprised by the open arms of the blogging community and the friendship has been amazing!

right, Lee...this group of bloggers has been an inspiration to me...I love everyone of youl I don't always get a response either; but like you say; busy or not everyone is on as often as I am; maybe...it doesn't matter...\i enjoy commenting on others work...and like \kelly said is easy to mistake the meaning of things..so; no griping and enjoy each other....lol

Yay! You're right--so much of the negativity is about negativity. I hope we can put an end to it soon. I think some people just seek out drama, don't you? There's enough depressing news in the world right now, and, as corny as it may sound, quilting and visiting blogs is my little happy place!
- April 28, 2011 at 7:41 AM
- Nancy D. said...
Thanks for your post. Like others have shared, I think some people confuse opinions with negativity. There may be some folks out there that comment on things in not so nice a way, but everyone needs to remember, it's their freedom of speech - and their opinion.
I'm truly amazed at the whole blogland and how there are so many blogs available to read and be inspired by. I've just started following blogs a little after the first of the year. Overall, I really enjoy seeing what people have to post - both quilt related as some of the personal stuff. I've never been out of the states (except to Cancun for our honeymoon) and enjoy reading about other places and people.
Anyhow, we don't have the ability to change what people say, but we do have the ability to choose how we react.

I agree. I feel that people in blog world are supportive and nice. I've only had people help me and haven't felt the negativity. Thanks for your post - it's good to know others can still stay upbeat. And don't worry, if you don't respond I know you're busy, not ignoring this comment. ;) hehe

I love the quilting blog world! As a mom of younger kids, it's perfect, since I can't exactly bring my hyper boys to guild meetings with me, ya know! It's like a virtual guild, which is awesome! You can take of leave it. As for blogging, i started more as a personal journal, so while I love comments, I'd blog no matter what...

If this was on facebook, I would have immediately hit like. I think sometimes people feel intimidated, and when given the chance, maybe they took Rachel's post out of context and began a bash fest which is easy to do...mob mentality. I think if we all remember that we don't have to agree, but we do all have feelings, then the world and blogland will be better.

I have only been blogging a short time but have been overwhelmed by all the positivity within the quilt-blogging world. I enjoy blogging and being a part of a community of people who are creative and like minded. I am just awed by the amount of talent out there, whether I am drawn to a person's color combination or choice of pattern or not. I think it's important to be able to appreciate another person's work and drive; it's like walking in someone's house and appreciating their decorating ability without it being your own style. And would you walk in someone else's home and say, "What WERE you thinking with this pattern on the windows?"
I actually commented on that Stitched in Color post; my comments weren't that bad, but I felt so guilty for saying anything, I deleted my comment. I'm from GA. If you can't say something nice,...

There is always the good and that bad. There always has been. Although, I am sometime jealous of those who have time to create or use their time well enough to fit in time to create, I would never say anything mean about them. I think that blogging quilters have great ideas and I think that most of them including you are very kind. Thanks for saying your mind and being kind :)

Update - Cigarette to blame for fire at Wilmington home
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 8:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11:05 a.m.
An "improperly discarded" cigarette is to blame for a house fire early Wednesday morning that destroyed a home, an official said.
Crews were called to 3925 Fawn Creek Drive just before 3 a.m. When firefighters arrived on scene, the single-family home was "50 percent involved," according to Wilmington Fire Department Battalion Chief David Hines.
"Units took a defensive mode, which means that the major efforts were to protect exposed (neighboring) structures while still knocking down the fire," he said. "Incredibly, there was no damage to ... neighboring exposed structures due only to the decisions and quick actions of the first arriving crews to concentrate their efforts to protect them."
Hines said the house was a "total loss," estimating damages at $150,000.
The occupants were outside when crews arrived. No injuries were reported.

The Fabric Fairy
As I pulled that nice fat envelope out of the mailbox, I said to Miss E., "Hey, isn't it great when we get fabric in the mail?" Her reply: "Yeah! But how do they know what you want? Do they just guess?"
I had a good laugh over that one. If only it really worked that way. I'm picturing some sort of fabric fairy who randomly sends yummy prints to people through the mail, just out of the kindness of her heart.
Then I realized something. Maybe there really is such a thing (kind of). I just signed up for my first swap: Gen X Quilter's Ho-Ho Holiday Swap. Real life doesn't often emulate something from a 4-year-old's imagination, but in this case, someone actually will "guess" what fabric I might want and then mail it to me. Plus, I get to play fabric fairy for somebody else! Who wouldn't like that? Why did it take me so long to start participating in these things?

But--I went shopping for the Ho-Ho Holiday Swap, and I am now filled with anxiety! How do I know that I got the right fabrics? Will I be laughed out of the group? *bites nails*
Well, my daughter helped pick at least one of them, so I can maybe blame her... :)
I do love the idea of a Fabric Fairy, though.

Oh no, I don't want to give anybody any anxiety! When I said that, I was just trying to be cute and bring it back around to what my daughter said. I don't expect anybody to read my mind or anything. : ) And the chance to get fabric that's a little outside my own "norm" is one of the reasons I signed up for this, so I'm sure whatever you got, it will be appreciated.
I love that you let your daughter pick out one of your swap fabrics! I think I'll let mine pick one out too, she'll love that. I swear that kid gets as excited in fabric stores as I do! : )

This guy is incredible. Vicktor Taiwò falls somewhere between James Blake and Frank Ocean on this "Digital Kids" track featuring Solomon. The haunt of his echoey vocals mixed with the vibrating electronic production feels transcendent.
Listen to "Digital Kids" below as well as the lulling and gorgeous "Only Love" where Vicktor covers Ben Howard. Here, he's sounding something like a cross between Miguel and John Legend. We need more of this guy yesterday.

Vero Beach resident killed in single vehicle crash on Interstate 95 near Oak Hill
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 7:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 2:09 p.m.
A single vehicle crash on southbound Interstate 95 near Oak Hill early Wednesday killed a Vero Beach resident, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The driver of the Jeep Wrangler, who lost his life, is Scott William McKallip, 55, said FHP's spokeswoman Wanda Diaz.
McKallip was southbound in the inside lane of Interstate 95 near Oak Hill, when for unknown reason left the roadway, Diaz said.
McKallip over-corrected to the right and the Jeep overturned on its roof and ended on the grassy shoulder of the road in an upright position. McKallip, who was not wearing his seat belt, was thrown from the vehicle and died on the scene, Diaz said.
A caller to Volusia County Sheriff's Office dispatchers said McKallip was thrown from the vehicle and then pinned underneath it. McKallip was confirmed dead at 5:24 a.m., authorities said.
The crash remains under investigation, Diaz said.

An Era and Counting
THE SETTING My, how time flies. It seems like just yesterday we were sidling up to the poolside bar at the freshly opened Hotel ZaZa and flirting a free mojito from the bartenders. While we've graduated to martinis, the bar is still just as see-and-be-scene 10 years later as it celebrates an era of raucous nights. THE SCENE Execs Charlie Givens, Benji Homsey and Matthew Nuss (with some help from a contortionist or two) welcomed guests into an amalgamation of all the things you love about ZaZa: Trees laden with pink LED lights, disco balls and Champagne sparklers, a pool-cum-dance floor and, to take a gander at where your night might end (guessing the Rock Star suite for a private after- party?), a tarot card reader. THE CROWD It might be easier to list who wasn't there, but on hand were friends and family of the crew: Wren Homsey, Tracy and Josh Madans, Abi Ferrin, Steve Wrubel (and spinning for the night, DJ Lucy Wrubel), Kari and Eduardo Brittingham, Barbara and Don Daseke, Lynn and Alan McBee, John Terlingo, Missy Rogers, Gable and Ed Shaikh and many, many others.

Alumni The National Association of Wabash Men
The National Association of Wabash Men (NAWM) is the Alumni Association of Wabash College. Membership in the NAWM is mostly automatic, has no dues, and lasts a lifetime. The NAWM includes all alumni of the College, all tenured members of the Wabash faculty and emeritus faculty, all members of the Board of Trustees and emeritus trustees, and any other persons who have rendered service to the College and been accepted for membership by the Board of Directors of the NAWM.
The NAWM is led by alumni volunteers serving as members of its national Board of Directors, as leaders of its Regional Associations, and as its Class Agents and Reunion Chairmen. One general membership meeting is held annually at the College, usually at the Saturday Chapel during Homecoming Weekend.
The NAWM also selects Honorary Alumni, members of the Wabash College Athletics Hall of Fame, and Alumni Admissions and Career Services Fellows. Honorary Alumni recognition, a practice begun in 1954, is given to men and women who are not alumni of Wabash College but who nonetheless truly personify the spirit and commitment that sets Wabash, its students, and the Wabash community apart from all others. It is the highest honor the Association can give to a non-alumnus. Each honoree is given the opportunity to select his or her honorary class year for permanent inclusion in the rolls of alumni. Membership in the Athletics Hall of Fame is granted to those who, by outstanding athletic achievement and service, have made lasting and significant contributions to the cause of sports at Wabash College, the state of Indiana, and the nation. Alumni Admissions and Career Services Fellows are recognized for making a lasting and significant contribution to Wabash College by their outstanding service to either student recruitment or career preparation.
Nominate an individual for any of these awards.

Bobby Jindal's appointment of Tim Barfield as secretary of the state Department of Revenue. State Sen. Karen Peterson, D-New Orleans, tried and failed to derail Barfield's appointment, alleging "serious questions about truthfulness." Peterson, a Jindal administration critic, wanted to pull Barfield's name from a list of other Jindal appointees who had cleared the Senate confirmation process. No one supported her motion. Peterson complained about Jindal appointing Barfield as revenue secretary last August, then finding out the job didn't pay as much as Barfield required. After that, Jindal named Barfield as the department's executive counsel at $250,000 salary, she said. The revenue secretary's pay was $129,000 a year. Peterson said the administration did not withdraw Barfield's original appointment as secretary until Wednesday when a new appointment as secretary was made, Peterson said. Throughout the period, she said, Barfield "has been paid over and above what should have been paid." "This has been a shell game," said Peterson The legislatively-approved state budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 allows payment of up to $250,000 for the revenue secretary position.

Women's Wednesday - The unsinkable Flora Duffy
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Slowtwitch.com recently ran an interesting story on local cyclist (but former and returning triathlete, Flora Duffy). Some will remember this young blond racing with the CU Cycling team after failure at the Bejing Olympics. What was this tri star doing riding with the cycling team? Flora now explains her battle with body image, anorexic and the impact it has on a young successful athlete along with her return to the triathlete world.
This interview was done with her coach, Neal Henderson of the Boulder Sports Center. Flora is from Bermuda but lives in Boulder
Read all of the Interview at Slowtwitch
Photo Credit: Slowtwitch
Flora Duffy has been through a lot in her 25 years. The Bermuda native was a running and triathlon star at age 8. Ten years later she finished 8th at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in just her second Olympic distance triathlon. After several top 10 finishes in ITU World Cup competition, she qualified for the 2008 Olympics. But beset with an eating disorder, she fell into a spiral of fatigue, injury and depression and did not finish at Beijing and left the sport. In a remarkable comeback guided by a patient coach, supportive family and encouraging friends at the University of Colorado, she regained her health, her competitive zeal and perspective. Along the way, she rejoined the elite ranks of her sport.
This interview was conducted in two parts – in person with coach Neal Henderson last summer and by email this week.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 10, 2005) - East Tennessee State University men's basketball coach Murry Bartow announced Tuesday that 6-foot-2 guard Tayloe Taylor (Memphis, Tenn.) has signed to play basketball for the Buccaneers beginning with the 2005-06 season.
"We would classify him as a combo guard that may become more of a point guard for us," Bartow said. "The things that excite us the most about Tayloe are he's a good ball handler with great vision, and he has a knack for getting in the paint and making things happen. He's a very athletic, long player who has the ability to slash and score off the dribble."

- Code: Select all
Each of which require allocation of workspace via PLASMA's workspace allocation routines, when I call these routines from the Fortran interface the newly allocated data is not assigned to the `c_ptr` pararmeter.
The Fortran wrapper for the workspace allocation routines look like this:
in control/plasma_df90.F90 using dsyev as an example:
- Code: Select all
function PLASMA_Alloc_Workspace_dsyev_c(M,N,descT) &
& bind(c, name='PLASMA_Alloc_Workspace_dsyev')
use iso_c_binding
implicit none
integer(kind=c_int) :: PLASMA_Alloc_Workspace_dsyev_c
integer(kind=c_int), value :: M
integer(kind=c_int), value :: N
type(c_ptr) :: descT ! descT is **, so pass by reference
end function PLASMA_Alloc_Workspace_dsyev_c
end interface
subroutine PLASMA_Alloc_Workspace_dsyev(M,N,descT,info)
use iso_c_binding
implicit none
integer(kind=c_int), intent(out) :: info
integer(kind=c_int), intent(in) :: M
integer(kind=c_int), intent(in) :: N
type(c_ptr), value :: descT ! Arg managed by PLASMA: opaque to Fortran
info = PLASMA_Alloc_Workspace_dsyev_c(M,N,descT)
end subroutine PLASMA_Alloc_Workspace_dsyev
The error makes sense as descT is being passed by value, thus the new value is being assign to the copy rather than the c_ptr at the call site.
Changing the line defining descT in both the interface block and subroutine, so that it's intent is "inout" rather than pass by value semantics seems to fix the issue.
- Code: Select all
type(c_ptr), intent(inout) :: descT
So am I doing something wrong here or should the Fortran interface be changed?

Men's Basketball Keeps Ivy Run Going, Beats Brown 63-46
The Tigers improved to 11-7 overall and 4-0 in the Ivy League, their fourth 4-0 Ivy League start in the last five seasons. Brown fell to 8-11 overall and 2-3 in the league.
The win is Princeton's sixth straight overall, the team's longest winning streak since taking 10 straight from Jan. 5-Feb. 18, 2011.
Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth joined Princeton as winners Friday night, keeping the Crimson a half-game ahead of Princeton at 5-0. The Crimson and Tigers already have a three-game lead in the loss column over their closest Ivy rivals, as Brown, Cornell, Yale and Dartmouth are all 2-3, while Penn (1-3) and Columbia (1-4) round out the standings.
Princeton will host Yale tomorrow at 6 p.m. while Brown heads to Penn. The other two Ivy games that were due to be played tomorrow, Harvard at Columbia and Dartmouth at Cornell, have been moved back to Sunday due to Winter Storm Nemo.
Princeton also extended its Ivy League home winning streak to 21 games since a 2010 loss to Brown, the program's longest streak since winning 26 straight from 1996-99.
Princeton trailed 10-4 six minutes into the game, but ripped off a 22-3 run over a span of 13:16 before Brown had two baskets in the first half's final minute.
The Tigers ended the game outshooting Brown 54.8 percent to 38.0 percent and turned the ball over just eight times, more than making up for a 31-28 Brown rebounding edge. Princeton also held the Bears, the Ivy League's leader in 3-pointers per game at 8.1 per contest entering the night, to only one 3-pointer in 12 tries, further lowering what was already an Ivy-best 3-point field goal percentage allowed to .309 from .321.
Rafael Maia led Brown with a game-high 19 points and nearly had a double-double with nine boards, but Princeton finished with three players in double-figures. Denton Koon led Princeton with 17 points, going 3 for 3 from beyond the arc when he hadn't hit more than one in a game before and had one 3-pointer all of last season as a freshman. The three 3-pointers tried were also a career-high total for Koon.
Ian Hummer joined Koon in double figures with 15 points, while T.J. Bray added 14. The Tigers improved to 7-0 this season when T.J. Bray scores in double figures.
Postgame Notes
• Princeton improves to 40-5 against Brown in Jadwin Gym. The Tigers had won the first 34 meetings in the building before Brown prevailed in 2003.
• Brown remains the last team to beat Princeton in Jadwin Gym, doing so on Feb. 20, 2010. Princeton has won 21 Ivy League games in a row in Jadwin, the program's longest streak since 26 straight from 1996-99.
• Ian Hummer's 15 points moved him past a pair of alums on the Princeton scoring list, first past Craig Robinson '83 (1,441) and then Pete Campbell '62 (1,451). Hummer now has 1,455 points and has 91 points until he ties Kit Mueller '91 for third at 1,546.
• Princeton has shot better than 50 percent from the field in each of the last three games. Since resuming the Ivy League schedule following the break for final exams, Princeton is 73-138 (.529) from the field.
• The Tigers have been hot from beyond the arc as well over the last two games, going 16 of 24 (.667) from distance.
• The eight turnovers Princeton had were the fourth time this season that the Tigers had a single-digit turnover total. The lowest was four, against Bucknell on Dec. 22.
• Brown's .083 (1-12) shooting clip from beyond the arc tonight was the lowest for a Princeton Division I opponent since Monmouth went 0 for 11 against the Tigers on Dec. 16, 2009.
• Denton Koon has scored double digits in five straight games, a career long streak for the sophomore who had scored in double figures in back-to-back games only ince as a freshman.
• Junior Chris Clement hit his first field goal, a 3-pointer, since the Lafayette game on Nov. 24.
• With eight rebounds tonight, junior Will Barrett has averaged 7.6 rebounds per game over the past five contests.
• Freshman Hans Brase had a career-best three blocked shots.

Lisa Grow, '87, holds a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Idaho. When she began working for the Idaho Power Company 25 years ago, she was only the second female engineer hired by the company. Now, she is the senior vice president for power supply.
"My time at the University of Idaho taught me many things. First and foremost, I received a world-class electrical engineering degree," Grow said. "But because it was a tough program, I also learned a great deal about commitment, perseverance and courage as a result."
Grow began her career at Idaho Power Company after graduation and has served in a variety of positions, including vice president for delivery engineering and operations, general manager of grid operations and planning, and control area operations leader.
She continues to give back to the program that helped her succeed by volunteering as a member of the University of Idaho College of Engineering advisory board.

Rose Bud took the wind right out of Perryville's sails from the start on Friday, scoring five runs in the first inning and cruising to an 11-1, six-inning victory in the quarterfinals of the Class 3A state tournament.
In contrast to the Lady Ramblers' first-round win over Genoa Central, Rose Bud started fast against the Lady Mustangs.
Rose Bud took the wind right out of Perryville's sails from the start on Friday, scoring five runs in the first inning and cruising to an 11-1, six-inning victory in the quarterfinals of the Class 3A state tournament.
In contrast to the Lady Ramblers' first-round win over Genoa Central, Rose Bud started fast against the Lady Mustangs.
"I don't feel like they were as nervous today," said Rose Bud Coach Matt Porter. "When you put up five runs in the first you feel real good about yourself at that point. All the pressure was on them at that point. We just had to play our defense and we did that and went out and took care of business."
Rose Bud right-handed pitcher Dana Naquin retired the Lady Mustangs in order in the top of the first and received plenty of support in the bottom half, starting when Tori Willborg crushed a one-out double deep down the left field line.
After Lemieux was hit-by-a-pitch, Perryville starting pitcher Cali Lankford retired Dana Naquin on a groundout to shortstop, which moved both runners into scoring position. With two out, Sara Sartin delivered a 2 RBI single up the middle that scored Willborg and Lemieux. After Madelyn Murphree reached on an error, Destany Naquin smashed an RBI double down left field line, plating Sartin.
Misty Newcom then tomahawked a 2 RBI single up the middle that scored courtesy runner Kailee Hannah and Destany Naquin, extending the Lady Ramblers' lead to 5-0 before Lankford got out of the jam.
Perryville scored its only run in the top of the second when Sydney Bean lifted an RBI sacrifice-fly to left field, which scored Haley Blunt, who led off the inning with a walk. The Lady Mustangs may have scored more had Murphree not gunned down Lacy Alford trying to take second after Bean's fly-ball as the Lady Ramblers used a double play to get out of an inning that saw Perryville place three of its first four batters on base.
Rose Bud maintained its 5-1 advantage until the bottom of the third, when the Lady Ramblers added three runs on two hits. Sartin hammered a leadoff single high off the center field wall to ignite Rose Bud and Murphree reached on a two-base throwing error.
Destany Naquin drove home Sartin with an RBI groundout to shortstop and Newcom brought home courtesy runner Kailee Hannah with an RBI single up the middle.
With two out, Perryville committed its second error of the inning, allowing Newcom to score as the Lady Ramblers' lead blossomed to 8-1 before Lankford escaped further damage.
Dana Naquin retired the Lady Mustangs in order in the fourth but Perryville relief pitcher Mariah Garcia held Rose Bud scoreless in the bottom half, only giving up a two-out single to Sartin.
Page 2 of 2 - Dana Naquin worked around a two-out single by Bean in the fifth but Garcia pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom half.
In the top of the sixth, Dana Naquin only allowed a one-out walk to Garcia as third base player Marissa Holland took care of two ground balls and Murphree made an outstanding catch on a foul ball near the backstop.
The Lady Ramblers ended the game with three runs on three hits in the bottom of the sixth, beginning when Dana Naquin singled to center field and Sartin singled up the middle. After both runners moved into scoring position on a wild pitch, Murphree drove home Dana Naquin with an RBI, sacrifice-fly to center field.
Destany Naquin followed with a grounder to shortstop that turned into an error as Sartin scored and Newcom completed the Lady Ramblers' romp of Perryville with an RBI double to the gap in right center, scoring Destany Naquin for an 11-1 victory.

She has tempted many men. but never found her equal.
Until now.
Though she has lived for centuries, Anya, goddess of anarchy, has never known pleasure. Until Lucien, the incarnation of death - a warrior eternally doomed to take souls to the hereafter. He draws her like no other. And Anya will risk anything to have him.
But when the merciless Lord of the Underworld is ordered by the gods to claim Anya herself, their uncontrollable attraction becomes an anguished pursuit. Now they must defeat the unconquerable
forces that control them, before their thirst for one another demands a sacrifice of love beyond imagining..
Lords of the Underworld Book Two
Centuries ago, a band of warriors and guardians to the Gods attempted to teach their charges a lesson. Pandora, while a gifted warrior in her own right, was thought by the warriors to not be qualified to handle the task of guarding dimOuniak - a box made by the Goddess Oppression to contain the horrors of the world. To prove this fact and avenge their wounded egos, the warriors stole the box from Pandora and opened it, thereby unleashing it's bound demons upon the world. As punishment for their arrogance, the Gods cursed each warrior with a demon and to be forever bound to one another. Thus, the Lords of the Underworld were born.
Lucien, keeper of Death, has managed to present and maintain an image of total self control. He is a being of utter calm for if his temper were to unleash, no one would be safe from Death. As leader and former Captain of the Guard to the gods, Lucien has always felt immeasurable guilt for having not only led his fellow warriors on the hunt to steal dimOuniak, but he was also the one to open it's lid and condemn them all to an eternity bound to it's evil contents.
As keeper of Death, Lucien is bound to the task of taking souls to their respective afterlife. When Death first entered his body, Lucien killed indiscriminately for two hundred years while trying to control the compulsion. Still a bit feral but in control, Lucien met and fell in love with a mortal. He learned his lesson quickly that to deny Death would only further the pain of the one marked. Knowing that he could never survive the loss of another loved one, Lucien brutally maimed himself to drive off any potential interest from females. And for the last few millennia, the tactic worked until the day Death met Anarchy.
Anya, the minor Goddess of Anarchy, will tell anyone who's listening that there's nothing minor about her. Daughter of the Greek Goddess of Lawlessness, Anya needs disorder to appease her naturally destructive behavior and she's discovered that petty theft and white lies are fabulous ways to curb her desire for war and destruction. But Anya wouldn't mind unleashing a little hell to get a rise out of her current obsession. Lucien is a walking contradiction that Anya can't seem to get enough of. His personal code of honor and kindness run contrary to the fact that he's possessed by Death and never had Anya seen a being so intent on living. Although her obsession is scarred way past the point of ugliness, Anya can't help but find him more beautiful for his imperfections. Cloaked by her shield of invisibility, Anya stalks Lucien until she finally can't take the need to touch and be touched any longer. Risking the wrath of the gods, Anya drops her shields and attempts to seduce Lucien into a kiss.
Of all the men in the world, no one is more surprised and suspicious than Lucien when a beautiful woman comes up to him with seduction in mind. He knows that he's heinous to look upon by the fairer sex and he can only assume that the beauty dancing before him is Bait. But when he catches her scent of strawberries and cream, Lucien immediately recognizes the beauty as the presence that has been stalking his every move for weeks: Anya. Knowing that she helped him, Maddox, and Reyes escape their death-curse, Lucien had instructed that research be done on this immortal to determine her potential threat. He knows that she is the minor Goddess of Anarchy and that her mother's reputation as a whore also branded her daughter with the same label. Lucian also knows that Anya is cursed yet how has yet to be discovered. But what he doesn't know and what frankly terrifies him, is why she's undoubtedly interested in him.
Lucien's contradictory behavior rears its ugly head when Anya finally gets to taste the warrior's luscious lips. One moment they're making out and all reality ceases to exist, in the next instant he's telling his buddies that she means little if nothing to him. Yet Lucien's nonchalance where her feelings are concerned does little to snuff her burning flame of desire.
Lucien's interest, although hidden behind his stoic demeanor, has piqued immensely with Anya's unveiling. But his passion is quickly cooled when he's summoned by Cronus, King of the Titans and recent usurper of the Greek Gods. Cronus demands that Lucien take Anya's soul and deliver her body to him. If Lucien tries to deny this command, Cronus will go after the ones he loves most: The Lords.
While disappointed by the order, Lucien resolves himself quickly to the task. Flashing into the spirit world - a gift from Death - Lucien is able to track Anya's travels. As an immortal, Lucien doesn't really think anything regarding Anya's ability to flash herself around the mortal world as well as the spirit world. Finding her quickly, Lucien tells Anya of his orders and how he has come to take her life. Feeling more than betrayed, Anya wastes no time informing Lucien that she'll do her best to kill him first. Thus the two careen about the world trying to kill one another yet it's all done rather halfheartedly and it's soon discovered that neither can deliver the death blow. Lucien instead tries to deal with Cronus by discovering that what signed Anya's death warrant was her unwillingness to give Cronus the All Key. Lucien, not knowing the full import of the All Key, tells Cronus he will get the All Key from Anya in exchange for her life. Cronus agrees on the condition that if Lucien can't retrieve the key, that he's still obligated to kill Anya.
Anya, ruled not only by her curse which was delivered upon her by a jealous goddess, also can't survive wholly without the All Key. It's a part of her, a gift from her father Tartarus the God of Confinement. Anya must either willing give the All Key to another and sacrifice her memories, strength and power. Or someone would have to kill her for it and thereby rendering her murderer powerless. Both options have dire results. Anya will not give the All Key to Lucien or Cronus who desires the All Key for the power it would give him. But Anya has another plan to eradicate her death warrant. The Lords are searching for Pandora's Box in order to protect their lives for if the box is opened and the demons sucked from their hosts, the Lords will die. But to find the box, they must first find four artifacts that will lead to the box's location. The Lords aren't the only ones looking for Pandora's Box. Cronus and the Titans are as well. Anya hopes to exchange the artifacts for her life without Lucien discovering her motives for she would be betraying the Lords.
Yet the longer Anya spends time with Lucien, the more she finds herself unable to betray him. For once in her life, someone accepts her for who she is, petty thief and all. And bonus, that someone is a hot immortal warrior that speeds up her heart and melts her soul. Meanwhile, Cronus is not letting up on his demand for the key. Noticing Anya's rampant desire for Lucien, he tells her that with each day she refuses to give him the All Key, Lucien will grow weaker and weaker until death will steal him from her. Crushed by the ultimatum, Anya still can't seem to stop herself from falling in love with Lucien but she can't admit that even to herself much less voice the words. To do so would mean she would have to give the ultimate sacrifice to keep Lucien. She must sacrifice the All Key.
I really enjoyed 'The Darkest Kiss'. Cecile! Charlotte! I don't know what you girls were thinking!?! I thought Anya was a blast to read. She's silly and fun with a backbone made of absolute steel that totally contradicts her vulnerability regarding her self image. She's also a strong, kick ass warrior that doesn't back down in any fight and challenges Cronus at every turn, defying his commands and out smarting his attempts to have her killed.
Anya was a perfect match for Lucien. A man so burdened by his past and his daily compulsions to lead spirits to their respective afterworlds. Quite depressing really. His mask of calm and detachment really needed to come crumbling down and no one could have done that better than Anya. For such a stoic warrior, Lucien was passion defined. He was eternally respectful of Anya's die hard independence and adapted to her needs with a readiness that melted my heart.
Another great aspect of 'The Darkest Kiss' was that it wasn't predictable or forgettable. I really had no idea how Anya and Lucien were going to conquer all the road blocks set before them. I also love the scenes where Lucien is trying to kill Anya. It sounds horrible but really, Anya bested him at every turn and he couldn't help but admire her. Never could they have killed one another. You knew that from the very beginning. But the halfhearted attempts were engrossing with edge of your seat fun.
The only downfall to the novel, in my opinion, and I can't explain too much without giving away spoilers but suffice it to say that I wanted there to be another outcome. I wanted Anya to have her cake and eat it too. I thought she lost some of her freedom whereas before, I really loved how she and Lucien were on equal footing with regards to their strengths and powers. But I think these issues are really only MY issues. Anya couldn't have been happier with the outcome. That I don't doubt.

Sorenson Forensics has solved cold homicide cases worldwide, but its most impressive results have been at home in Utah.
Anna Palmer, 1998
10-year-old Palmer's mother found her dying on their Salt Lake City front porch, beaten and stabbed so viciously that one of the thrusts severed her spinal cord. In 2010, Sorenson Forensics analyzed particles of flesh found under Palmer's fingernails that had been preserved from the original investigation. The lab got a DNA "hit" with Matthew Breck, serving a 10-year sentence in Idaho for sexual assault of a child who had lived in Palmer's neighborhood at the time of her murder.
Lela Rockwell, 1989
Rockwell, a 62-year-old homeless woman, was found raped and strangled under an overpass in Salt Lake City. In 2010, Sorenson Forensics' analysis of preserved DNA linked the crime to Jose Ortiz-Garcia, who was serving time in a federal prison in South Carolina.
Barbara Jean Rocky, 1974
The 21-year-old BYU student was found shot in Little Cottonwood Canyon. In 2007, armed with DNA evidence extracted from soil preserved from the crime scene for 33 years, police arrested Gerald Walter Hicker, 56, in Tacoma, Wash., for Rocky's murder.
Karin Strom, 1980
Strom was strangled, but tissue under her fingernails yielded usable DNA samples in 2007 and lead police to her killer Edward Lewis Owens, 56.
Tara Brennan, 2004
Brennan, 28, was found strangled and stabbed in Poplar Grove Park. New DNA analysis in 2007 led investigators to her attacker Michael Jones, 43, of Sandy.
Cathy Cobb, 2004
Cathy Cobb was found dead of strangulation. Police used Sorenson Forensics' DNA analysis in 2007 to make an arrest and convict Michael Waddell Johnson, 65.
Tiffany Hambleton, 1986
14-year-old Tiffany Hambleton was found stabbed to death on Salt Lake City's west side. DNA analysis in 2007 led police to Dan Peterson, 44, of Glendale. Despite the DNA evidence, a jury failed to convict Peterson, who admitted he had sex with the 14-year-old but claimed he did not kill her.

COP18: Week one analysis by Damian Ryan
- Date
- 03 December 2012
COP18 takes place in Doha, Qatar, from November 26 to December 7, 2012. As part of our involvement in COP18, Damian Ryan our Senior Policy Manager, is providing news and analysis, as well as live tweeting from Doha.
This is Damian's summary of the first week of COP18 and will be followed by daily reports for the rest of the week.
Week one of the annual UN Climate Conference (COP18), held this year in Doha, Qatar, followed largely expected lines, with few, if any surprises.
Going into the conference, the key challenges and fault lines were well known following earlier meetings in the year (see my pre-COP18 briefing).
As a result negotiators spent much of the week in so-called 'informal consultations' as a way of encouraging more open discussion in order to prepare draft decisions for ministers to finalize and adopt in week two.
Measures for success
This year's COP has three basic goals and measures for success. It must complete negotiations on a second commitment period ('2CP') for the Kyoto Protocol, wrap up parallel talks on so-called 'long-term cooperative action' among all countries, and solidify the shape and direction of negotiations on a new global climate treaty to be agreed by 2015.
According to various reports, the Kyoto track talks have progressed reasonably well, in the sense that officials have narrowed down options for ministers to consider.
Tough negotiations are likely in week two however, as ministers grapple with what are essentially political decisions.
The five key issues on which they need to reach agreement are:
- the length of the new commitment period (5 or 8 years)
- its entry into force (and the legal nature of this)
- what to do with surplus carbon credits (carry them over or cancel them)
- access to the Protocol's 'flexibility mechanisms' (for everyone or just 2CP signatories)
- what trigger should be used to increase ambition over the 2CP.
In contrast to the Protocol talks, the negotiations on long-term cooperative action have gone less well.
Different ambitions
As expected, divisions over the level of mitigation ambition, differences in interpretation of what constitutes 'equity' among countries, and disagreement on scaling climate finance before 2020, are all slowing progress.
Although a Copenhagen-style breakdown seems unlikely (although not impossible), it appears that a serious amount of heavy lifting will be required early in the second week to wrap this process up, as all countries have stated they wish to.
To do this, negotiators have three options for dealing with each outstanding issue. Either they resolve it; find a new home for it within the broader UNFCCC process; or agree to drop it from all negotiations.
On a brighter note, discussions on the negotiation process for a new global treaty (the so-called 'Durban Platform') have apparently been constructive. Views still differ between countries about what precisely the process should look like, but with the discussion remaining at a general, rather than specific level, achieving consensus on a broad program of work from 2013 seems realistic in Doha.
Such an outcome, however, is dependent on agreement in the other two tracks. Developing countries remain adamant that any talks on a new global treaty can only proceed once a 2CP is in place and all outstanding issues are addressed under the long-term cooperative action track.
Building bridges
Bringing all three of these strands together in an acceptable Doha package in week two will hinge to a large degree on the diplomatic skill of Qatar as holder of the COP Presidency.
An apparently lackluster performance in week one has raised concerns among some countries about whether the COP President can build the necessary political bridges to bring parties together.
With luck, the arrival of ministers over the weekend, and the political focus this brings to the process, will provide the impetus for unlocking the key deadlocks in the coming week.

While waiting for the photographer to arrive at an outdoor photo shoot, the ad hoc trio took up their instruments and tried their hands at a musical collaboration. In late 2008 it self-produced its first EP, A Whisper, A Clamour. The band's blend of ethereal folk and sweeping harmonies quickly caught the attention of Paste, which featured the band's first single – "Field Song" – on its acclaimed CD sampler. The band also earned early praise and recognition from Under the Radar and FILTER, which in July 2009 declared The Lighthouse and the Whaler its "Unsigned Band of the Month." After nine months of writing and tinkering in Cleveland, The Lighthouse and the Whaler released its debut, self-titled LP in 2010, just as they were named "Best Indie Artist" at the 2010 Cleveland Music Awards. Described as "colorful, eccentric and fantastically triumphant," the album showcases the band's ability to take seemingly simple instrumentations and layer them into something powerful and strong. *Local support for Carolina Chocolate Drops*

The Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: The Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionSustainable Development and Climate Policy: 20 years later Climate policy is playing a first role in the political agenda of both developed and developing countries. Today the main concern of climate policy is focused on curbing greenhouse gas emissions with the purpose of limiting global warming. However, at least 2 degrees of temperature increase are certainly unavoidable, which calls for investments and measures to adapt to forthcoming climate change. A the same time, the present difficult economic situation calls for measures that reduce GHG emissions without harming, rather fostering, economic development. The Cancun Agreements while reaffirming the clear objectives for reducing human-generated greenhouse gas emissions over time to keep the global average temperature rise below two degrees, it encourages the participation of all countries in reducing these emissions (through their NAMAs - National Appropriate Mitigation Actions), in accordance with each country?s different responsibilities and capabilities to do so. A new principle seems emerging for a post-Kyoto environment: in order to achieve a new climate agreement we need both domestic and global policy, we need to actively involve developed and developing countries bearing in mind that social and economic development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of developing countries and that a low-carbon development strategy is indispensable to sustainable development. There is no doubt that the outcome of different climate policies - if implemented effectively within a cooperative framework - will not only reduce the risks associated with Climate change, but will also improve environmental sustainability. Nevertheless reaching an agreement and in particular the challenge of limiting GHG emissions causes social costs affecting developments needs and goals especially in developing countries. If the costs of climate policy fall back on society, especially where it is more vulnerable, it is not certain that climate policy will improve sustainability, as social costs can offset the improvement in the environmental sphere. At the same time it?s worth to be noticed that adaptation is called to play an active role in the climate international agreement settings. Economic research is now focusing on the assessment of the optimal mix of adaptation and mitigation expenditures in a cost-effective setting in which countries cooperate to achieve a long-term stabilisation target (AD-WITCH model developed at CMCC/FEEM). Besides the NAMAs the Climate conference in Cancun also established a process for least developed countries (LDCs) and other interested developing countries to formulate and implement national adaptation plans (NAPs) to identify and address their medium and long-term adaptation needs. One of the objectives of the Cancun Agreements is to assist the particularly vulnerable people in the world to adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change. Again the concept of sustainable development can be part of the solution. A global climate policy will more likely lead to an overall improvement in sustainability if it is implemented together with policies aimed at improving social and economic welfare. Low carbon development in the context of sustainable development, and development policies integrating national adaptation plans. This seems to be the recipe for developing countries. Further research is needed on how mitigation and adaptation policies can work together in the context of a sustainable development. At the same time further contribution is required in the definition of sustainable development in order to help governments to take concrete actions in the context of Climate change. A more holistic assessment of climate policy agreements would be desirable and we believe that Rio+20 could represent the ideal arena to further discuss the (climate) policy implications of the sustainable development concept.

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my project.
I have a simple code in Lejos :
import lejos.nxt.*;
public class simple{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Motor A can run and stop normally with the NXT cable, but when I plug this Converter cable, motor A can't stop run. How can I make this motor run normally with the converter cable ? Because I want to make 2 motors run together in 1 motor port.
Please your response ..
