Texas Tech 31, Rice 26
October 21, at Lubbock
Attendance: 33,591
It was two different games for the No. 25-ranked Red Raiders but the result was the same &emdash;a victory over the Rice Owls.
With Zebbie Lethridge setting the tone, Tech raced out to a 24-0 lead in the third quarter before an Owl rally caused concern. After Rice narrowed the deficit to 24-18, Lethridge guided the offense 80 yards for the clinching touchdown early in the fourth quarter. He passed for two touchdowns and ran for another on the day.
In the process, Zebbie broke the SWC record of 176 consecutive passes without an interception. It was also a record-breaking day for the Red Raiders, who were recording a school best seventh straight conference home victory.
The worse mistake the Raiders made was knocking Rice quarterback Josh LaRocca out of the game late in the second quarter. Reserve Chad Nelson showed great mobility by running for almost all of his 145 yards in the second half.
Rushers: TT&emdash;Hanspard 29-93-1; Mitchell 1-49; Hobbs 5-40; Lethridge 10-26-1; Walker 2-25; Cade 2-(-16). RICE&emdash;Nelson 19-145-2; George 13-40; Whitlock 7-24-1; LaRocca 6-11; Newhouse 2-3; Wilmington 1-9; Edmonds 9-2.
Passing: TT&emdash;Lethridge 11-21-0, 144, 2 TD's. RICE&emdash;Nelson 2-8-2,49; LaRocca 2-7-0, 12.
Receiving: TT&emdash;Darden 3-36; Hanspard 2-77, 2 TD's; Hobbs 2-9; Hart 1-8; McKenzie 1-7; Spinks 1-4; Adams 1-3. RICE&emdash;Wilmington 2-49; Perry 1-6; Bridges 1-6.

, yet it can fly as slow as 15-20 mph.
The Tri-bladed propeller provides 25% more thrust than a standard 2 bladed prop. More prop thrust means better
low and high speed maneuverability.

Nice aileron trainer
October 27, 2013
Reviewer: MRP from Kirkland, WA United States
This plane is just a step above a floater type plane. A good aileron trainer. The nose gear and cowling are the weak spots in the design. The cowling is very thin plastic and easily shatters. The nose gear will bend if you are flying on soccer field grass. Easy to repair. I would recommend this plane for the first step up after a glider or slow flyer, or for a good transition plane if you are used to flying glow power and want to try electrics. With instruction it would be a wonderful first time trainer and confidence builder. Also good for throwing in the car for a quick flight on the commute. I also use it with a key cam blue taped on the wing for video shots from the air. Carries the cam without complaint. I also added clear packing tape under the wing as a secondary spar and insurance against bending loads.

Great 4-axis Trainer
December 8, 2010
Reviewer: Jeff Lee from Houston, TX United States
Packaging and shipping was good and fast. Assembly was just like the book says, easy and quick. I have been flying a J-3 Cub with 3-axis controls. This is my second plane, first with 4-axis control (ail, ele, rud, throt). My first take-off attempt was aborted due to my failure to straighten the front wheel properly. Once straightened the second, third, and forth take-offs were a dream. Landing this plane is easy as well, smooth as butter. 3 flights, no crashes. I recommend this plane highly for the pilot that is looking to move up to a great and easy 4-axis trainer.

Excellent Plane
October 13, 2010
Reviewer: Spiros
Novice here ... This plane is VERY easy to repair. All it takes is some tape and a little patience. The controller that comes with it is a 2.4 Ghz one and very good for a beginner like myself. Once I got used to the controls ( need to slightly move the sticks and not be nervous ) I was able to sustain a good pattern flight for about 20 mins or so with the supplied battery. This engine is powerful enough that you don't have to be full-throttle while you are flying the plane. I just called Mark for some replacement parts for the plane yesterday and he helped me out. Very knowledgeable on his products. I am still planing to fly with my original wing ( which I broke on the first flight) until I can't do it anymore.
I have not damaged the plane since the 2nd time I used it ... ( I chose not to work on the simulator ... call me old-fashioned) and I have been trying to fly every single day.
Thumbs up for Mark and his products ... I just bought his P-51 yesterday and can't wait to try it!!!!

Great Plane
April 30, 2010
Reviewer: Dale Sison
Parkflyers Cessna 182 pro deluxe: I didnt know I was going to do this review so i didnt take any pics of how it looked in the box. It comes very nicely packaged and I personally dont see any big risks of damage in shipment. This plane comes RTF in that it comes with everything you need including the glue and to my surprise it included a fms flight simulator cd and cord to hook to the included 2.4ghz transmitter that hooks to your pc via the microphone in jack and works on windows except vista of course!! It includes four different instruction manuals one for Plane, radio, charger and flight sim., all very easy to follow. It also came with an extra prop and linkage clevises.

Please Note:
These pages contain information based on the United States Federal Department of Transportation's "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (MUTCD). Some state signage and markings may vary slightly from the national standard. Since driving may include going through different states, we have only included the "standards," and not all the variances.
MUTCD Standard
Warning signs call attention to unexpected conditions on or adjacent to a highway or street and to situations that might not be readily apparent to road users. Warning signs alert road users to conditions that might call for a reduction of speed or an action in the interest of safety and efficient traffic operations.
When the safe, navigable speed is LESS than 35 mph, a curvature in the road is called a "TURN;" if GREATER than 35 mph, it is called a "CURVE."
Grade is the amount of rise or fall per 100 feet of roadway. A 7% grade means that the roadway hill goes downward 7 feet for every 100 feet forward (or vice-versa for uphill).
These signs warn of possible slow or stopped traffic ahead, due to the possibility of a train on the tracks. Turning traffic may be backed up onto the main roadway.
The Share The Road plaque is placed beneath any of the W-11 Series signs to warn drivers of the possibility of slower moving vehicles on the roadway, in addition to just crossing the road.
The advisory speed plate is intended for use to supplement warning signs. The speed shown shall be a multiple of 5 miles per hour. The plate may be used in conjunction with any standard yellow warning sign to indicate the maximum recommended speed around a curve or through a hazardous location.
The Exit or Ramp signs are intended for use where engineering investigations of roadway, geometric, or operating conditions show the necessity of advising drivers of the maximum recommended speed on a ramp. The sign should be posted along the deceleration lane or along the ramp so that it is visible in time for the driver to make a safe slowing and exiting maneuver.
Most State Route markers carry either a name or a symbol that is symbolic to that state. Some States use a map outline of their state, some use a simple circle or square. Other may use a symbol, such as California. The rounded triangle represents a miner's spade, in memory of the "forty-niners" and the Gold Rush.
Kansas, the "Sunflower State" uses, naturally, a sunflower on their state signs, while Pennsylvania, the "Keystone State" uses the keystone for an arch as their symbol.
A close look at the map above will show that the seemingly random red lines actually have a pattern. Let's start in California. Disregard Route 101.
Notice that the first Interstate you see is I-5, which runs south-to-north through the state. At the bottom of the state is I-10, which runs in a west-to-east direction, through the bottom of the state. Now look over to the New England states. Notice that all the Interstates are odd-numbered, and they all run in a south-to-north direction.
The Interstate Numbering System consists of even and odd numbers. EVEN numbered routes run in an east-to-west direction, while ODD numbered routes run south-to-north. In addition, the EVEN numbers get bigger as you move further NORTH, and the ODD numbers get bigger as you move EAST.
The standard Interstate routes will always have one or two digits (I-5 or I-70), and will appear on a blue-and-red shield. Then there are SPURS and LOOPS. These signs have 3 digits (I-495). As a GENERAL rule, if the first digit is EVEN, the route is an Interstate Loop, which means it goes (usually) around a city or urban area and then reconnects to the Interstate again, with an Interstate at both ends. If the first number is ODD, then the SPUR route LEAVES an Interstate, and connects with a major highway, or,simply ends (for example, at another street).
As a side note, to dispel a consistent rumor, there is NO provision in the Federal Highway Act that says "one-out-of-seven" miles of an Interstate must be straight and wide enough for military defense airplanes to land.
If an Interstate splits off and enters a city business center directly, or goes immediately around it, a special marker called a BUSINESS LOOP or SPUR is used.
Markings on highways have important functions in providing guidance and information for the road user. Major marking types include pavement and curb markings, object markers, delineators, colored pavements, barricades, channelizing devices and islands. In some cases, markings are used to supplement other traffic control devices such as signs, signals and other markings. In other instances, markings are used alone to effectively convey regulations, guidance, or warnings in ways not obtainable by the use of other devices.
Pavement markings can enhance roadway delineation with the addition of audible and tactile features such as bars, differential surface profiles, raised pavement markers, or other devices intended to alert the road user that a delineation on the roadway is being traversed.
A broken (dashed) yellow centerline on the left side of a travel lane indicates passing is allowed in that direction.
A solid yellow centerline on the left side of a travel lane indicates passing is prohibited in that direction.
A centerline might not be in the physical center of the road, as shown in the illustrations.
Along a one-way ramp, one-way street, or a one-way roadway that is one half of a divided highway, YELLOW edgelines mark the left edge of pavement or the boundary between a travel lane and an adjacent left shoulder.
A lane that is operated in different directions at different times of the day, such as a "reversible lane system," is designated by a DOUBLE BROKEN (dashed) YELLOW line on both sides of the lane. These markings supplement signs or overhead signals that tell road users which lanes are available for use at different days and times.
Many two-way undivided roads in urbanized areas have a center lane that is for shared use by vehicles making left turns in both directions. This type of special lane is called a Two-Way Left-Turn Lane. Both sides of the Two-Way Left Turn Lane are marked with a double line consisting of a SOLID YELLOW line and BROKEN (dashed) YELLOW line. The SOLID line is closest to the adjacent travel lane, while the BROKEN (dashed) line is closest to the Two-Way Left-Turn Lane.
White lines, longitudinal (parallel to traffic), are used to indicate lanes edges. A dashed white line marks a lane that can be crossed over, while a solid white line indicates a line where crossing over is either discouraged or prohibited.
A solid white line, on the right edge of the road, is used to set the limit of the "vehicular portion of the roadway", which cannot be crossed, except in the case of a BIKE LANE, where a right turn is going to be made. California law permits a driver to move into the bike lane, up to 200 feet prior to making a right turn.
At an exit ramp or street, the solid white line may join with the main highway edge line to form a "GORE" area, which is considered to be a safety zone, where vehicular traffic movement is prohibited.
White transverse lanes lines (perpendicular to traffic flow) are used to indicate stopping, yielding, and cautionary areas, where traffic is controlled for one reason or another.
In the picture to the left, the end of the YELLOW line coincides with the thicker white tranverse line where stopping in mandatory. This is called the STOP LINE, or more commonly, the LIMIT LINE. All traffic must stop with the complete vehicle behind this line.
Where there is no limit line, the double white transverse lines indicate a crosswalk, and traffic must stop completely behind the first crosswalk line (when stopping is mandated by a light or sign).
Crosswalks may be marked in various styles. The traditional two white lines (yellow in a school zone) is the most common style. When a higher degree of visibility is required, diagonal or perpendicular lines may be used.
Some intersections, especially in downtown areas, may allow for DIAGONAL crosswalks also, where the pedestrian is permitted to cross through the middle of the intersection, corner-to-corner., as shown in the bottom picture at the left.
Many suburban areas, especially, are using "traffic calming" measures, to slow traffic without actually stopping it. One of the most common is the "SPEED HUMP". To warn drivers of the speed hump, white transverse lines, of decreasing width, are evenly spaced 100 feet prior to the center of the hump.
Another line used to slow traffic is the newer YIELD LINE. Instead of the usual LIMIT LINE, a transverse line, consisting of white triangles, is used to indicate where traffic should slow down (and stop if necessary) when yielding to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Increasingly common, TRAFFIC CIRCLES, or ROUNDABOUTS, are also being used to control the speed of traffic. These vary in size, from smaller, garden-plot sized, to larger, multi-lane ones, as pictured to the left.
Notice that various lines are used throughout to indicate traffic flow, stops, yields, and lanes through the circle.
Curb colors are used to indicate parking restrictions.
A RED curb indicates that ALL parking, stopping, or standing (see our SIGNS page for definitions) is prohibited. The sole exception is for transit buses, which may stop ONLY at a signed BUS STOP.
A BLUE curb indicates that UNLIMITED parking is permitted, providing the vehicle has either a HANDICAPPED placard hanging from the rear view mirror, or a HANDICAPPED license plate.
A YELLOW curb is used to indicate parking, stopping, or standing is permitted, for delivery or drop-off, usually for commercial purposes.
A GREEN curb indicates that parking is permitted, but only for a period of time. The permissive times are either placed on an adjacent sign, or painted directly onto the curb itself.
A WHITE curb is similar to the YELLOW curb, but is a general purpose curb, for dropping off passengers, mail, etc. As a general rule, the driver must remain in the vehicle.
If a curb is unpainted, then parking is permitted, with no restrictions, unless a sign is used to indicate otherwise.
You will now answer 5 questions to test what you learned during this lesson. You must answer all questions correctly to receive completion credit for this lesson. You may answer the questions as many times as necessary to get them right.
You should review the lesson material if you don't do well on the quiz.

About Me:
My name is Amber Holt. I am a therapeutic, medically, and clinically educated Massage Therapist who has been working in the field for over 10 years. I have been licensed in the state of Tennessee for 8 years. As your therapist, I will work hard to help fix your bodily aches and pains caused by daily stress, work stress, athletic activity, and past injuries.
My philosophy of health involves a holistic approach where we all are on a journey in life and have the ability to make choices that can mend and strengthen, or slowly destroy our whole health. Massage is one of those mending and strengthening choices that is just one piece of the holistic "whole" .
Day after day we deal with so many aches and pains that we tell ourselves are "natural". Massage is a wonderful, natural way to help get rid of those aches and pains that shatter our "wholeness" and it helps us get back to being more "whole"
I offer a personalized, unique, massage to each client, each visit. It is called the "toolbox" massage.
Here are the tools in my toolbox:
Trigger point therapy
Sports Massage
Neuro Muscular Therapy (NMT)
Active Release Therapy (ART)
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
Deep Tissue
tructural Integration
Myofascial Release
Facilitated Stretching and Range of Motion
Swedish massage techniques
What does the therapist recommend?
The toolbox massage! It means that through the years, I have learned and mastered many different techniques and modalities. I put all of these skills in what I like to call my "toolbox" and each time I assess an area of the body, I go into my "toolbox" and pull out the right "tool" that will help me to work on that area, loosen the musculature, or help alleviate the pain.
What if I just want a sample?
Then come for a consultation! It's just $30 and if you decide to schedule a full session, that cost gets applied towards your first visit! Time is precious and I take pride in really spending time listening to each massage patient and their unique needs and medical considerations!

Parents are committed to keeping children safe. But the reality is closer to Benh Zeitlin's vision of chaos than we care to admit.
Unlike in previous eras, when the majority of our risks came from natural sources, today the majority of our risks are "manufactured." We humans create them.
Thinking as Christians
In the terrible terrorist attacks of September 11, thousands of our fellow citizens were buried under the rubble. The rest of us have been buried under the rubble of words that followed. It is hard to criticize such words; all of us utter trivial platitudes in moments when events simply exceed our capacity for reflection and insight.

We're All About Empowering You!
Are you feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated, invalidated, and disconnect from your authentic self OR do you just want to experience more balance, passion, vitality, and abundance in your life?
Today's woman is often bombarded by conflicting messages regarding who she is, what she should do, and how she should look, as well as being told what's wrong with her, which unfortunately has created a false, negative belief system and mindset of I am not enough.
The I Am Enough Institute recognizes these challenges that women face and passionately believes that when a woman is deeply and consciously connected to her authentic truth and power, she has the ability to make decisions that will not only transform her life, but her family, her community, and her world.
Through intentionally designed services, programs, resources and opportunities to connect with other like-minded women, The I Am Enough Institute is passionately committed to igniting and transforming the heart, soul, and mind of women from a false, negative belief system of I am not enough to a positive, empowering truth of I Am Enough. We believe that when a woman is empowered she is more than enough in all her beauty, wisdom, glory, and her power.
At the heart of The I Am Enough Institute is the I Am Enough Movement. History has shown us that when women come together for a common goal, whatever that may be, greatness merges, lives are transformed and hearts are healed. There is nothing women cannot do in the spirit of collective unity.
The I Am Enough Movement is designed to empower each woman individually and collectively to create life on her own terms, while at the same time igniting a real community of sisterhood among women that will support, validate, and applaud our uniqueness as well as celebrate our similarities.
We excitedly encourage you to be a part of the I Am Enough Movement, participate in our online community, and take full advantage of our information, services, programs, and resources that will assist you on your journey to becoming fully empowered in knowing and believing that,

I'm trying to make this simple code lock circuit, and I ordered this keyboard for it.
However, there isn't any kind of manual for it, and I simply don't understand how it works.
Here's a larger picture of it (sorry for the horrible soldering, I've a bad solder, and I probably do it wrong also.)
So there's 7 wires on it currently, but how do I actually use this thing?

About the Society
The Buchanan Society is the oldest Scottish Clan Society in the world and is purely a charitable body. Its formation in Glasgow, Scotland on 5th March 1725 followed the publication by William Buchanan of Auchmar of his essay "The History of the Ancient Surname Buchanan" and Auchmar himself joined in 1726. The essay deals specifically with four "approved" Septs of the Clan: Buchanan, McAuslan, McWattie and Risk, and both the Royal Charter of the Society and its Constitution restrict membership to those Septs only.
The Founders were a small number of successful businessmen who were concerned that some clan members coming to the city of Glasgow at the beginning of the eighteenth century, during the early days of the industrial revolution, were suffering great hardship.
The Objects of the Founders, which still hold good, were to provide support for the poor of the Clan, who may be, but do not need to be, members of the Society, and to assist their young in schooling, apprenticeship and, for those "of promising genius", at University or otherwise. Pensions, educational and hardship grants are still awarded.
Records of the Society's activities and members are maintained and it is possible to trace some families from current members right back to the origin of the Society in 1725. These records provide a store of information about the forbears of many Buchanans now scattered throughout the world. On joining, each member receives a handbook giving much information about the Society and a full list of members joining in each year between 1725 and 2004. The total membership since foundation now exceeds 2000.
The affairs of the Society are entrusted to a Preses (an old Scots word meaning Chairman), who is elected annually, and eight Directors, who each hold office for four years (2 retiring in rotation each year). In addition, a Secretary and a Treasurer manage the day-to-day activities of the Society. The Directors keep in touch with and visit beneficiaries. The Annual General Meeting is normally held in early summer and members and guests meet for an annual dinner at which members from all parts of the world have a chance to meet and also to hear an interesting guest speaker.
With astute management of the Membership Fees and Legacies received the funds of the Society have increased steadily. In 1728 they amounted to £75 and in 1750 the amount distributed to beneficiaries was £1.13. By 1825 distributions rose to £502 and in 1997 distributions had risen to £32,385.
Additional information about the activities of the Society can be gleaned from the original Minute Books, which are held in the Mitchell Library in Glasgow along with other publications relating to the clan and society. The 18th century carved wooden Treasurer's Box is now on display in the Peoples' Palace Museum in Glasgow.
The Society owns a number of historic portraits and photographs of eminent Buchanans. An extensive library of books relating to the Clan and Society is held by the University of Strathclyde in the Andersonian Library in Glasgow.

"First Egg has Hatched"
After watching and waiting for a couple of days we can confirm that one of the bald eagle eggs at the Norfolk Botanical Garden has hatched. Almost 39 days since the first egg was laid biologists (and camera viewers) were able to see an empty eggshell at 1:10pm on March 11. Both adults had been quite restless while incubating throughout the day - often peering down at the eggs, letting us know that something was happening there.
It took a while for us to get a clear look at the young chick, but you can see it in the video below. The chick would have been wet when it hatched but has now dried out and is covered in fluffy white feathers called natal down. The young eaglet will need to rest for a bit before it is able to raise its head and move around. It doesn't need to eat right away, as it absorbed the yolk from the egg prior to hatching. When it does eat its first meal the adults will tear the food into pieces small enough for it to eat. The adults will continue to keep the hatchling warm by brooding it (keeping it tucked under their breast) because the young eagle can't yet control its own body temperature. Keep watching over the next several days while we wait to see the other eggs hatch.
Many thanks to Mrs Westlund's 1st Grade class at Yorktown Elementary School for letting me watch the hatching with them

The landmark sports a giant blue moustache to start the month when men are urged to grow facial hair for charity.
12:16, UK, Thursday 01 November 2012
Big Ben has kicked off "Movember" by sporting a blue moustache, leading the way for men to cultivate some facial hair in the name of charity.
A giant moustache was projected onto the landmark to highlight what has become a major effort to raise money and change attitudes towards men's health.
Westminster was chosen as the location to kick off this year's movement because there are suggestions around 40 MPs have signed up to grow a 'tache.
Under the Movember rules, men have to start on November 1 with a clean shaven face and then grow and groom a moustache during the month.
The moustache cannot be joined to the sideburns because this is considered a beard or joined to the chin, which would be a goatee.
Last year, more than 250,000 people in the UK took part - raising £22m for the charity which supports testicular and prostate cancer initiatives.
One in nine men is diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK - with a diagnosis every 15 minutes, according to research.
Despite it being the most common cancer for men in Britain, studies show many men are unaware of the risks.
Justin Coghlan, co-founder of Movember, said: "Men's health has moved forward in leaps and bounds in recent years but we need to encourage more men to talk about real issues, especially with each other.
"It's time for men to come together and help change the face of men's health. This Movember, knowledge is power, moustache is king."
Prostate Cancer UK is the main beneficiary partner of Movember in the UK and described the event as "fantastic".
Chief executive, Owen Sharp said: "It gets people talking about prostate cancer and men's health in a unique and active way."
He added: "I urge men to prioritise their health and push a trip to their doctor higher up their agenda if they have any concerns about prostate cancer."
Movember was first established in Melbourne, Australia, in 2003 but has now spread across the world. In 2011, 854,000 people in total registered and raised £79.3m.

National Post ·
I nvictus, in which Nelson Mandela brings unity to South Africa through the 1995 Rugby World Cup, astonishes movie audiences in several ways.
There's Morgan Freeman as Mandela, for instance: After five minutes I was so caught up in his performance that I subconsciously accepted that I was watching Mandela himself and was startled, late in the film, by a shot of the real Mandela looking unconvincingly like Freeman. Then there's the weird assumption, by the director, Clint Eastwood, that people will enjoy watching many rugby scrums without understanding what's happening and why. Audiences, beyond rugby-infatuated regions of the world, react with ennui, for which they can't be blamed.
But what I find truly startling is that the real star of the film, and its title, is of all things a 135-year-old verse, in a style that's supposed to have been out of date for generations. Invictus is a 16-line inspirational poem by William Ernest Henley (1849-1903), a Victorian Englishman now known for little else.
An editor of literary magazines as well as a poet, Henley suffered from tuberculosis of the bone, beginning at age 12. The disease progressed to the point where doctors had to amputate one leg below the knee. Henley survived and led an active life till his death at age 53, though he was never free of illness.
Reflecting in hospital on the pain of the operation and the loss of his leg, Henley set down a poetic display of stoicism and defiance. He described himself as "bloody, but unbowed," inserting a phrase into modern English. Using the word "strait" to mean narrow and confining, he closed with these four lines:
"It matters not how strait the gate
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."
The poem was untitled when Henley put it in a book of his own, but when Arthur Quiller-Couch included it the 1900 edition of The Oxford Book of English Verse, he named it Invictus (Latin for invincible or unconquered). It then moved from anthology to anthology and lodged in a multitude of brains, Nelson Mandela's among them. He found it a source of consolation during his years in prison and (so the movie version tells us) he drew it out again to stir Matt Damon and the South African rugby team. We hear it several times at climactic moments.
This is the best movie part given to a poem since Mike Newell's Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), in which Matthew (John Hannah) pays tribute to his dead lover, Gareth (Simon Callow) by reciting W.H. Auden's Stop the Clocks.
Matthew remembers Gareth as a big-hearted, jolly bugger and describes Auden as "another splendid bugger" before beautifully quoting his lines: "He was my North, my South, my East, and West. My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong."
Invictus has a long history of involvement with eminent figures in modern history. Winston Churchill quoted it and so did Martin Luther King Jr. In youth, Senator John Mc-Cain committed it to memory. Last month, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that after he watched the film, the poem inspired him to defeat the attempt by members of his party to replace him. There have also been ugly moments for Invictus. Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, chose it to represent his views to the world just before his execution in 2001.
In popular culture it's had a long run. Ronald Reagan's best film, Kings Row (1942), in which his character's legs are amputated, uses Invictus as a message: We must not be defeated, no matter how things turn against us (Reagan's character isn't). At the end the Henley words are sung, to music by the romantic composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Dore Schary's play Sunrise at Campobello (1958), about Franklin Roosevelt's triumph over crippling polio, says Invictus was a favourite of Roosevelt's. Roosevelt's.TVscriptwriters have used it in shows ranging from Beauty and the Beast to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The same week I saw the film I turned on The Big Bang Theory and watched Sheldon, the self-adoring but frightened physicist, barricade his bedroom against imaginary intruders. When he realizes he needs to urinate he tries to convince himself otherwise: "I am the captain of my bladder."
William Ernest Henley's life intersected in sometimes bizarre ways with several of the remarkable figures of his time. As an editor of the National Observer, he published Rudyard
Kipling's Barrack-Room Ballads. As a father he had the melancholy experience of seeing his daughter, Margaret Emma, who died at age five, make a shadowy appearance in a children's classic. In infancy Margaret came to know J.M. Barrie, Henley's friend. She had trouble pronouncing the word "friend" and her way of saying "fwendy-wendy" fascinated Barrie. For Peter Pan he invented the name Wendy, which has since attached itself to millions of girls.
As a patient, Henley turned for help to no less a doctor than Joseph Lister, the surgeon who developed antiseptic surgery and whose name persists on Listerine products. He managed to save Henley's other leg, when some doctors believed it also needed to be amputated. That made it possible for Henley to walk with relative ease, using a crutch, for his last 30 years.
Was he unconquerable? He gave every sign of a jovial good nature. An acquaintance called him a fellow of fire and vitality, "a great, glowing, massive-shouldered fellow with a big red beard and a crutch."
One friend who was fascinated by his style was Robert Louis Stevenson. In a letter to Henley after the publication of Treasure Island, Stevenson wrote: "I will now make a confession. It was the sight of your maimed strength and masterfulness that begot Long John Silver."
Since Victorian times, literary critics have rarely given Invictus much more than the time of day. It seems obvious in its rhyming, jangly in its structure, sentimental in its content. Even so, readers insist on rediscovering it, generation after generation. Auden said once that there are many unjustly forgotten books but no unjustly remembered ones. A book lasts only if it carries honest meaning for readers. The same goes for poems.

Pleaserobme.com, a blog that calls attention to the risks of publicizing your absences from home via social media like Twitter (twitter.com) and location-aware services such as Foursquare (foursquare.com), made a big splash in the last week. Founded by a three-person team of developers in the Netherlands, the site was prominently featured in mainstream U.S. media including numerous print and online publications, and by popular radio program "The Osgood Files" with commentator Charles Osgood.
Although the creators of the web site are leveraging Web 2.0 media in an innovative way, the problem they are spotlighting is likely as old as the first door locks, which date back 4,000 years. Securing the contents of a home against theft, particularly while the abode is unoccupied, was a concern in ancient Egypt, just as it is now.
Even if you aren't actively tweeting about your tropical vacation or letting all your friends (and strangers) know that you are sitting at your favorite coffee shop, there are many other ways you might tip off a potential burglar who is looking for an unoccupied home to raid. Here are 8 great ways you can keep the bad guys guessing and make it seem like you are safely at home, even when you are sitting on the beach.
1. Indoor lights on timers
Operate a few strategically located interior lights with programmable timers. Even while you are home, timed lights can help you establish a daily routine and provide added convenience, safety, and security - instead of entering a darkened home when you return from work in the evening. Using timers year-round can establish a visual pattern that does not vary, regardless of whether your home is occupied or not, preventing an outside observer from easily determining if it's a safe bet to break in. Televisions and/or radios can also be operated on timers and help reinforce the illusion that you at home.
2. Outdoor motion-activated lighting
If you leave home for several days, continually burning outside lamps are a tip-off that no one is home. And leaving the exterior of your house dark can also invite unwanted attention. Instead, motion-activated lighting is an effective crime deterrent and saves energy. A dusk-to-dawn photocell or timer can also be used to operate external lighting.
3. Stop mail and newspaper delivery
A pileup of newspapers or a stuffed mailbox is a sure sign that no one is home. If you are away for more than 3 days, either stop deliveries or arrange for a reliable and trusted neighbor or friend to make regular collections until you return. Ask them to also check your doors for hanging notices or other advertising materials.
4. Post "no solicitors" signs
No one except people whom you have invited have any need to visit your home. Post a prominent sign letting others know they are not welcome. Residential burglars have been known to masquerade as utility workers or door-to-door solicitors, allowing them to survey houses in a neighborhood without raising suspicions.
5. Window coverings
Even when you are home, use light filtering shades or drapes in addition to heavier light-blocking window treatments. No one should ever be able to clearly see into your home, at any time of day, particularly the side(s) of your home facing the street. While you are gone on vacation or during the day, the light filtering window coverings will permit light to escape from your home, making it appear occupied.
6. Telephone usage
Never leave a greeting on your voicemail or answering machine that suggests you are not home. A very brief message that simply states you are unavailable is best. Turn down or turn off the ringers on your phones so they cannot be heard from outside your home. Using a voicemail service or an answering machine that allows remote message retrieval is a good idea, so you can check periodically for important or suspicious messages.
7. Confidentiality
The military calls it OPSEC (Operational Security). Your vacation or other plans which take you away from home should only be shared on a need-to-know basis with those you trust. Yes, your trip next week to Cozumel is exciting, but the barista and the four other people standing in line as you chatter away with your friend don't need to know about your plans.
8. Call in the professionals
Posting an armed guard at your door probably isn't in the budget. But a professionally installed and monitored security system is the next best thing, and can be surprisingly affordable. A security system can provide protection against intrusion and fire that never takes a break or calls in sick. But an alarm system is only as good as the company that stands behind it, so be sure to choose a reliable provider with a great reputation for quality and service.

The threat of big brother watching us is usually a joke between tech savvy sorts anytime something major happens. While films involving hackers is nothing new few bring the excitement and action of Cybergeddon. Starring Missy Peregrym as Agent Chole Jocelyn who is a former hacker intent on working her way up the ladder in the FBI. Her biggest catch is an international cyber hacker named Gustov (Olivier Martinez) who seems to be tapped in everywhere. When he escapes from prison he puts agent Chloe through a nightmare of cyber espionage with only her partner Frank (Manny Montana) and another one of her catches the hacker Rabbit Rosen (Kick Gurry) by her side.
Cybergeddon is a thrill ride with an unmatched pace. Similar to the show 24 the movie takes an in depth look at the world of cyber crimes in a face paced atmosphere. Peregrym is a great leading lady as she holds down a majority of the film including the unexpected fighting scenes. The film plays out in the same fashion as movies like Enemy of The State or Live Free Or Die Hard. It gives us a back door look at a world that we take for granted each day. The constant references to security and how we allow ourselves to be subjected to this activity is spot on. It;s also one of the reasons why Norton Anti Virus plays a huge part in the film.
What hurts the film is the extra Hollywood cheese that made some of the scenes a little more comical than it needed to be. Cybergeddon is an action film that has no problem reminding you that throughout. Not that the explosions and car chase weren't needed just the over exaggeration on certain parts seemed far fetched. It helps that the film has a solid back story as most of the annoyances of the film are overshadowed by the great performances and intriguing plot.
Cybergeddon was created as a web series and developed by CSI writer Anthony E. Zuiker. His imprint is all over this film so if you are a fan of one of those shows then Cybergeddon is right up your alley. Cybergeddon is a cool, and hip thriller that resonates with us all as they use the common devices found in everyday society. When you read horror stories of people hacking into webcams or stealing identities through social media these are the people behind the scenes. If any thing Cybergeddon gives you an awareness on certain technology that is the infrastructure of the world we live in today.
From Sneakers to The Net, Cybergeddon shows us that cyberpunk films still holds grown in todays society/ Don't be surprised to see more films of this nature in the future as we head more into the millennium. If you are looking for an action packed thriller that has the chance to go over your head in computer jargon then check out Cybergeddon.
Cybergeddon is now available on DVD. It stars Missy Peregrym,Olivier Martinez,Manny Montana and is directed by Diego Velasco. It is being distributed courtesy of ARC Entertainment.

When I need to find $E(X|Y=1)$ and have: $$f(x,y)=\begin{cases}\lambda^3xe^{-\lambda y} & 0\lt x\lt y\\ 0 & \text{elsewhere}\end{cases}$$ Do I need to find both marginal densities to do this? I know that the definition of $E(X|Y=y)=$$$\begin{align}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} g(x)f_X(x|Y=1)dx\\ =\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}g(x)P(x|Y=1)dx\\=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}g(x)*\frac{f(x,y)}{f_Y(y)} dx\end{align}$$ This is the definitiion given in my textbook. Is the $g(x)$ supposed to be the marginal density of $X$?

First you need to find $f_Y(y) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(x,y)dx$.
Then, $$E(X|Y=y) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}x\frac{f(x,y)}{f_Y(y)}dx$$ The formula you have written is correct for $E(g(X)|Y=y)$, which is a generalized version of the above.
I think your book is telling you $E[g(X)\mid Y = y]$ for arbitrary measurable function $g(\cdot)$, not $E[X\mid Y = y]$. And yes, you do need to compute the marginal density of $Y$ in order to divide $f_{X,Y}(x,y)$ in your formula. But you don't need to find both marginal densities, and in this simple case, it is even unnecessary to compute $f_Y(y)$ explicitly; one can get find $f_{X\mid Y=1}$ without knowing the formula for $f_Y(y)$ or what kind of random variable $Y$ is (it is a Gamma random variable, by the way).
The way I would approach the problem is to say that given $Y = 1$, the conditional density of $X$ has shape given by $f(x,1)$ which is a linear function of $x$ for $x \in (0,1)$. The graph shows a triangle whose area must equal $1$ in order to get a valid density. So the conditional density must be $$f_{X\mid Y=1}(x\mid Y=1) = 2x\mathbf 1_{(0,1)}$$ and so the mean is $\frac{2}{3}$.

Ebay (EBAY) clearly has a lot of potential in its PayPal arm. As of Q4 eBay earnings, the Payments division led by PayPal tallied almost $1.7 billion in revenue — just shy of the $1.88 billion recorded by the core Marketplaces division.
The continued growth of PayPal has led to a lot of spinoff talk during the past year or so. And the fact that PayPal is now just as important to eBay as its e-commerce and auction biz has added fuel to the fire.
So it's no surprise that activist investor Carl Icahn currently has a roughly $600 million stake in EBAY stock, worth about 0.82% of the company, and is pushing for a PayPal spinoff to unlock shareholder value.
But is a PayPal spinoff a good idea?
Well, PayPal co-founder and iconic entrepreneur Elon Musk seems to think so. Here's what he said in a recent Forbes cover story:
"It doesn't make sense that a global payment system is a subsidiary of an auction website. It's as if Target owned Visa or something." PayPal, he adds, "will get cut to pieces by Amazon Payments, or by others like Apple and by startups if it continues to be part of eBay."
Musk currently is spending his time running some very different businesses right now — he's CEO of electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (TSLA) and private space flight company SpaceX, and chairman of solar installation and services company Solar City (SCTY).
But Wall Street and Silicon Valley both seem to greatly respect the ideas of Elon Musk, even slightly crazy ones like his "Hyperloop."
If Elon Musk thinks a PayPal spinoff is good strategically for the business and a necessary move to fend of competition from big dogs like Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN), then eBay should listen up.
It's easy to be skeptical of Carl Icahn. He has been agitating for massive stock buybacks at Apple lately, and now that his efforts have recently ended, it seems like the PayPal spinoff might be his next big project to work on to unlock shareholder value — value that could be decidedly short-term and in his interest, but not in the long-term interest of the company.
But Elon Musk made his first big payday when PayPal was bought out by eBay for $1.5 billion, so he knows the business intimately. And as he has shown with Tesla and SpaceX, he is not in the business of running a company into the ground just for the sake of short-term profit. Musk truly is a visionary who thinks big about things like space travel, green energy and mobile payments.
So say what you want about Carl Icahn and his musings about a PayPal spinoff.
To me, the fact that start-up icon Elon Musk believes it will help the company grow is the biggest reason eBay stock holders should entertain the idea of a PayPal spinoff.
He's interested in growth instead of a quick pop to EBAY stock… but it just so happens shareholders will get paid that way, too, if the strategic move pays off.

Notebook: Season awaits the Cyclones
Chris Williams
By Chris Williams, CycloneFanatic.com PublisherFollow Chris on Twitter @ChrisMWilliams
Those days between fall camp and game week are always a grind.
The hardest work is over. Yet the fun is still two weeks away.
This has been an awkward week for not only Iowa State, but every other college football team in America.
"Whether it is an open week, which this sort of is, or if you are coming out of training camp, it is a long time until you play that game," Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads said on Thursday. "If you begin the preparation too early, you can get the thought that you are prepared and done too soon."
Iowa State has lightly begun its preparation for next Saturday's opener against Northern Iowa but won't heavily get into it until later this week/early next.
There is good and bad news to report regarding JUCO defensive tackle Henry Simon.
The good?
Simon will be on Iowa State's campus Friday afternoon.
The bad?
It's going to be a while before Simon is ready to contribute to this football team.
"He certainly will not be ready to play in the first game, nor do I expect him to be ready to play for a few weeks," Rhoads said. "I do not expect him to be in football shape. We will have to get that done first. He has a lot of football to learn and the system. I don't think that you'll see Henry Simon on the field any time soon."
Expect this one to go down to the wire.
Grant Mahoney doesn't have an edge over Zach Guyer.
Guyer doesn't have anything on Mahoney.
On Thursday night, I asked Rhoads how long into next week he could go before deciding on a starting kicker for Saturday's season opener.
"That might be Saturday before the game starts. I hope not," Rhoads said. "But in three days, it has switched every day. I am looking for a guy who acts like he is confident out there and can put the ball between the posts."
Steele Jantz is number one. Jared Barnett is number two.
With Jerome Tiller out of the mix, who's number three?
"Sam Richardson," Rhoads said without hesitation.
"We will do everything at all costs to redshirt him. We would never put him out on the field in a one or three play situation. Brett Bueker has been on our roster the entire time we've been here. He can handle that and could go out to run really every play that we have in our offense."
When Iowa State released its latest depth chart on Thursday, it confused the masses.
Fans and media members alike saw A.J. Klein "moved" from SLB to MLB. They also saw defensive backs like C.J. Morgan and Deon Broomfield in the mix at SLB.
In reality, nothing changed at all. Confused yet?
Here's what you need to know. Iowa State's base defense is the nickel.
"The SAM linebacker and nickel spot is the same spot," Rhoads explained. "If that guy has to scoot in, he just scoots in. We call it a SLB. It is the same position, but those are the top two guys. If we were playing a power team, we'd change it and have a 4-3 with linebackers out on the field as opposed to Deon or C.J."
Defensive coordinator Wally Burnham took his explanation a step further.
"We put C.J. at the SAM/Nickel and that makes A.J. your full-time MIKE linebacker now," Burnham said. "He's not having to play two positions like he did last year."
Nothing has changed. In fact, Rhoads said that if he could have the last two years back, he would have made Iowa State's depth charts look this way the whole time.
"We have those guys there who can get out in space if they break the formation. It is all about semantics," said Burnham.
*** Every college football program is always looking for more depth at defensive tackle. Rhoads made a move last week when junior Jon Caspers switched from offensive guard to defensive tackle. How is Caspers progressing thus far?
"He's learning. To say that he isn't struggling wouldn't be right. He is making a transition back to a position that he played but he is doing it at the division on level against a really good offensive line and trying to not only relearn the position, but learn the defense. He is working awfully hard and I think he is at the right position for his physical skills."
*** It's early to be thinking too much about Northern Iowa, but defensive coordinator Wally Burnham did say this about the Panthers' offense after Thursday's practice.
"They run the zone option offense. They are always moving people with multiple formations, running the same plays," Burnham said. "The thing that you have to do is get your guys in the right spot, then be able to make plays. That quarterback is a really good football player. He doesn't throw the ball like some people you play against in the same offense but he is very capable."
*** Wally Burnham's quick scouting report of redshirt freshman SLB C.J. Morgan ---
"C.J. has come a long way. He is going to be out of place because of inexperience sometimes but sometimes he'll just make a play on pure athletic ability. That's the good thing about him. He will slip under a block when he's not supposed to."

up until the "best-of-three" Championship Series, with all games played
at campus sites. Prior to the semifinals, the remaining teams will be
seeded. The Championship Series is a "best-of-three" in which the higher
seeded team will host two of the three games.
Tulsa (2008), Oregon State (2009), and VCU (2010) won the previous three
tournaments. Five participants in the 2010 CBI presented by Zebra Pen
have earned berths in the 2011 NCAA Tournament: Akron, Boston
University, Indiana State, Morehead State, and Princeton.
The CBI sent a greater percentage of its 2010 field to the 2011 NCAA
than any other postseason tournament: CBI - 6-of-16 (38 percent); NIT -
7-of-32 (22 percent); CIT - 1-of-16 (six percent).
This year's tournament features 16 teams from 10 different conferences:
Ohio Valley, WAC, C-USA, Missouri Valley, Southern, Atlantic-10,
Colonial Athletic, Mid-American, Big Sky and Pac-10.
Senior forward Joevan Catron
(bio on page 28) has played in a school record 129 career games
averaging career-bests for points (15.2 ppg) and minutes played (27.5
mpg). This season he leads the team in scoring, rebounding (6.5 rpg),
field goal shooting percentage (.467, 164-of-351), field goals attempted
and field goals made, while ranking second in minutes played.
Catron was named Second Team Pac-10 All-Conference in a vote by the
coaches, the first Oregon player to receive all-league recognition since
the 2007-08 season (Maarty Leunen, Second Team). He is the 41st player
in school history to be recognized as all-conference. Catron was also
named to the NABC Division I All-District 20 Second Team (voted on by
member coaches).
In a 28-point effort in UO's regular-season finale at Arizona, Catron
became the 30th player in school history to eclipse the 1,000-point mark
(he currently ranks 27th all-time with 1,081 points).
The 6-6 senior from Phoenix, Ill., has made 157 free throws this season
(157-of-220), shooting 71.4 percent from the charity stripe. He's been
clutch late in games, upping his average to 80.0 percent in the last
five minutes (32-of-40). Over 31 percent of Catron's points this season
(157 of the 502) have come from the line.
Catron has produced some big second-half performances this season. In
UO's win over Weber State, he scored 18 of his team-high 24 points in
the final 20 minutes. Catron scored 14 of his 18 points in the second
stanza of a Pac-10 Tournament semifinal against Washington. He had a
20-point performance in UO's home win over UW, tallying 16 second-half
points in that upset. In the road game with the Huskies, Catron scored
17 of his team-high 20 points in the second half (including 11 straight
points to open the stanza). Also, in an overtime win over North Dakota
State, Catron tallied 16 of his 27 points in the second half.
Sophomore forward E.J. Singler
(bio on page 26) leads the Pac-10 in free throw shooting percentage
(.871, 101-of-116), ranks second on the team in scoring (11.5 ppg, 404),
rebounding (5.7 rpg, 199), blocks (0.7 bpg, 26) and 3-point field goal
percentage (.385, 47-of-122). He is also third on the team in field goal
percentage (.452, 128-of-283). Singler is the only UO player to have
started all 35 games this season, leading the team in scoring on seven
Singler was recently named to the 2011 Pacific Life Pac-10 Conference
All-Tournament team, averaging 18.7 points and 5.0 rebounds over three
games and a semifinal appearance. In five career tourney contests,
Singler has averaged 14.4 points per game. During the league tournament,
he produced a career-high 24 points in UO's upset quarterfinal win over
UCLA, and the previous night he scored 22 points in an opening round
victory over Arizona State.
Singler has reached double figures in scoring 24 times this season,
including the last five games. In addition to his big Pac-10 tourney
outings, Singler has had several other strong performances. He posted 19
points and nine rebounds Jan. 1 against ASU. In the near upset of then
No. 9 Missouri, Singler tallied 19 points and nine boards. On Dec. 11
against Willamette, Singler posted 18 points and 17 rebounds (career
high). He scored 16 points on two other occasions during conference
play, a road win over Oregon State and home triumph of Washington.
The Medford, Ore., product has led the Ducks in rebounding on 15
occasions this season (21 times in his career). He's grabbed 10 or more
rebounds three times this season, with 10 rebounds in the road loss at
ASU, and a pair of double-doubles he posted earlier this season (16 pts
and 11 rebs - Nov. 12 vs. North Dakota State; 18 pts and 17 rebs - Dec.
11 vs. Willamette).
Junior guard Malcolm Armstead
(bio on page 21) has 143 steals in 66 games which ranks him No. 6
all-time in career steals at UO (complete list on page 6). Armstead is
just four steals shy of matching No. 5 Anthony Taylor who had 147 steals
in 115 games from 1984-88.
Armstead, who has 78 steals in 34 games this season, already bested his
own single-season school record which he set last season. He recently
came up with a career-high six steals in UO's semifinal loss to UW in
the Pac-10 tourney. A year ago, Armstead set a new school record with 65
steals in 32 games, a mark previously held by Terrell Brandon (63 in 28
games, 1990-91), Fred Jones (63 in 35 games, 2001-02) and Luke Ridnour
(63 in 33 games, 2002-03).
The second-year player from Chipola Junior College also has 148 assists
in 2010-11 which ranks 10th all-time in school history for a single
season. Armstead is also just five assists shy of UO's top 10 for career
assists (286, 4.3 apg).
Senior guard Jay-R Strowbridge
(bio on page 29), junior forward Tyrone Nared
(bio on page 27) and freshman guard Johnathan Loyd
(bio on page 20) have made an impact in the lineup.
Strowbridge has played in all 35 games, a starter in seven contests. He
is UO's third leading scorer (9.6 ppg), upping his average to 11.1
points per night in the Ducks' 18 conference games.
Nared has also played in all 35 contests, including starts in the last
17 games. His two best games have come against California, where he
registered a career-high 16 points on Feb. 24 in Eugene, and posted a
double-double effort with 14 points and 10 rebounds on Jan. 29 in
Berkeley. He is second on the team in field goal percentage this season
(.459, 67-of-146).
Loyd has played in all 35 games, starting in 16 contests. He has 75
assists (to just 47 turnovers), ranking second on the team in
assist-to-turnover ratio (1.6). He's shooting 76.0 percent on free
throws (38-of-50).
Junior guard Garrett Sim
(bio on page 18) has found his shooting touch from behind the 3-point
arc since the Ducks moved to Matthew Knight Arena. Sim has made at least
one 3-pointer in 19 of UO's last 22 games. He ranks second on the squad
in 3-point shooting percentage at .333 (46-of-138) this season, while
ranking fifth on the team in scoring (8.2 ppg).
In non-conference games only, Sim shot just 26.8 percent on 3-pointers
(11-of-41). He was tied for sixth on the team in scoring during those 12
Sim tallied a season-high 20 points in Monday's quarterfinal win over
Duquesne. Sim recently recorded four straight games with 10 or more
points: 10 at Arizona State, 14 at Arizona, 10 vs. Arizona State, 10
vs. UCLA. He went 7-of-18 (.388) on 3-pointers in those four games.
Three other games standout for Sim, road wins over Oregon State and
Stanford and a home win over Washington State. In the victory over OSU,
Sim hit 3-of-7 from behind the arc en route to a 15-point effort. In the
historic win over the Cardinal (breaking a 24-game losing streak at
Stanford), Sim hit a pair of timely 3-pointers and finished with 10
points, one of four UO players to score in double figures. Sim added 13
points, 3-of-5 on 3-pointers, in the blowout home victory of WSU.
The Ducks have set a new school record for steals in a season,
registering 288 (8.2 spg) in 35 games on the year. The previous mark for
a single-season was held by the 2002-03 team which had 263 (7.9 spg) in
33 games. On nine occasions this season Oregon has generated 10+ steals
in a game, posting a season-high 17 in a Dec. 11 non-conference win
over Willamette.
The Ducks have the best turnover margin in the Pac-10 (+3.03). In fact,
in conference games only Oregon is a league-best +2.89, with USC ranking
a distant second at +1.0.
UO has committed fewer turnovers than its opponent 26 times this season
(13 out of 18 Pac-10 outings). Oregon posted a season-low seven
turnovers in the road game with Arizona. The Ducks also rank second in
free throw shooting (.743, 480-of-646) and steals (8.2, 288), while
ranking third in assist/turnover ratio (1.1, 482-433).
Senior forward Joevan Catron
ranks seventh in scoring (15.2 ppg) and ninth in rebounding (6.5 rpg). Junior guard Malcolm Armstead
ranks second in steals (2.3 spg) and third in assists (4.4 apg). Sophomore forward E.J. Singler
is the conference's top free throw shooter (.871, 101-of-116).
A better field goal percentage than the opponent, grabbing more rebounds
and holding a first-half lead have been essential for the Ducks in
their 18 wins in 2010-11.
Oregon has a 14-1 record when shooting a better field goal percentage
(just 4-16 on the year with a worse field goal percentage). UO is 4-2
when they shoot 50 percent or better (just 14-15 when under 50 percent).
The Ducks are 12-3 overall when they grab more rebounds (5-13 when
out-rebounded, 1-1 with same number of rebounds). Oregon is 13-4 when
they hold a first-half lead (4-13 when the fall behind at halftime, 1-0
when tied).
Head coach Dana Altman
has taken the 2010-11 Oregon squad, which was projected to finish last
in the preseason poll, and helped the Ducks defy expectations. Oregon
finished in a tie for seventh in final regular-season standings and made
a run to the semifinal round of the conference's postseason tournament.
Below are a couple of notes about Altman's coaching career and how he
stands with some first-year coaches at Oregon.
• Altman is making his 14th-straight postseason appearance.
• Altman's teams have finished with a winning record for 13 consecutive seasons (looking to make it 14 this year).
• A winning overall record would make Altman just the second first-year
UO head coach to accomplish the feat since the Pac-8 (now Pac-10) was
formed before the 1964-65 season.
• A winning overall record would be the 19th time in 22 seasons that Altman has finished with a .500 record or better.
• Altman has won four conference coach of the year awards from three
different conferences (Missouri Valley Conference at Creighton in both
2001 and 2002; Big Eight Conference at Kansas State in 1993; Southern
Conference at Marshall in 1990).
Dana Altman
announced the signing of four players to National Letters of Intent.
Joining the Ducks' 2011-12 squad are guards Bruce Barron (Carbondale,
Ill./Brehm Preparatory School), Jabari Brown (Oakland, Calif./Oakland
HS) and Brett Kingma (Mill Creek, Wash./Jackson HS) along with center
Austin Kuemper (Portland, Ore./Westview HS).
Bruce Barron: Plays prep basketball at Brehm Preparatory School in
Carbondale, Ill. … led AAU basketball team (Illinois Titans) to a
national title in 2009, averaging 18 points per game in the senior
national tournament … chose Oregon over Oklahoma State, Marquette and
Indiana … also played AAU basketball for Mac Irvin Fire.
Jabari Brown: Started junior season at Findlay Prep (Nev.) where he
averaged 16 points per game before transferring mid-year to Oakland High
School … averaged 23.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game at
Oakland High the rest of his junior campaign ... led Oakland High to
second round of the state playoffs … chose Oregon over Arizona State,
Connecticut, Georgia Tech and Washington … played AAU ball for Drew
Gooden Soldiers.
Brett Kingma: Averaged 25 points, four steals and four assists per game
as a junior … Led Jackson High School to the 2010 Washington Class 4A
title game … chose Oregon over Arizona State, Brigham Young and
Washington … played AAU ball for Friends of Hoop.
Austin Kuemper: Averaged 12.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game as a
junior for Westview High School … Lead WHS to the 2010 OSAA 6A Boys
state title game … also led WHS to a second-round appearance at the 2009
OSAA 6A Boys State Tournament … chose Oregon over Iowa State, San Diego
State, USC and Washington State … played AAU ball for ICP.
Oregon ranks second in the Pac-10 Conference in free throw shooting
percentage (.743, 480-of-646), behind Arizona (.747). This is in large
part because five of UO's eight major contributors (players who average
16 or more minutes per game) shoot it 70 percent or better from the
line, and two others are just below that mark.
Sophomore forward E.J. Singler
has made 87.1 percent of his free throws (101-of-116) which leads all Pac-10 players. Junior guard Garrett Sim
, who does not have enough attempts to qualify for the league rankings,
is shooting a career-high 85.1 percent (40-of-47) to lead the Ducks. He
is 15-of-16 on free throws (93.8 percent) in the last five minutes of a
game during the 2010-11 season.
Also 70 percent or better: senior guard Jay-R Strowbridge
(78.2 percent), freshman guard Johnathan Loyd
(76.0 percent) and senior forward Joevan Catron
(71.4 percent). In addition, junior guard Teondre Williams
(68.8 percent), junior forward Tyrone Nared
(68.6 percent) and junior guard Malcolm Armstead
(68.4 percent) are just below that 70 percent mark.

When a DNA identification system was set up to trace the origin of poached ivory, scientists found that the African elephants consisted of two very different species. They expected slight variations in the genetic makeup of the savanna elephant, but were surprised to discover the two different species.
The new species, the forest elephant, was considered to be a subspecies of the African elephant, and was known as Loxodonta africana cyclotis. That means scientists thought that, although the elephants had adapted to their forest habitat, they were still savanna elephants. But DNA evidence shows that about 2.5 million years ago two genetically different strains of elephants evolved in Africa. The forest elephant, now known as Loxodonta cyclotis,found its niche in the equatorial forests of central and western Africa. Here they have lived hidden from view and practically ignored.
Some scientists consider the two species as different as lions are from tigers, or horses are from zebras. Genetically the difference between the two species of elephant is more than half as big as the differences between the African elephant and the Asian elephant, or 58%.
When you think of the African elephant you probably picture the savanna elephant. It is a huge animal, standing almost 12 feet tall at the shoulders. It has large ears that come to a point at the bottom. The tusks are long and slightly curved. They live on large, dry grasslands ,with a few thorny acacias dotting the plains.
The forest elephants look physically different from savanna elephants. For one thing, they are smaller than savanna elephants. Forest elephant males only get to be about 8 feet in height while large savanna elephants can reach 13 feet. Their ears are rounded and their tusks are straight and thin with a pinkish tinge to the ivory. The lower jaw is longer, giving the forest elephant a long, narrow face. Forest elephants also live in smaller family groups. Forest elephants are also darker than savanna elephants.
Seventy years ago three to five million elephants inhabited Africa. Today only about 500,000 elephants remain. One third of these are forest elephants. Because there are now two separate species, there are fewer elephants of each species. Elephants in Africa are now more endangered than previously thought. The hard and pink ivory of the forest elephant is highly prized by poachers who are difficult to catch in the cover of the rainforest. Logging is another threat to the forest elephant.
The African elephant, Loxodont africana, is listed as endangered under the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES). Conservationists are afraid that declaring the forest elephant as a separate species could open a loophole under the current treaty and open up hunting of forest elephants for their ivory. A study of the forest elephant's status is under way, sponsored by the National Geographic Society, European Union, National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
