As rousing as Sunday's second-half dominance of Washington State might have been, UO coach Dana Altman remained sober in his assessment of Oregon's NCAA Tournament hopes following the Ducks' third straight victory.
"We played our way out of it," Altman said, in reference to a 2-6 month of January. "Now we've played our way close to being back in it. We've got a great opportunity."
Two weeks remain in the regular season for the Ducks (18-8, 6-8 Pac-12), beginning Thursday at UCLA (8 p.m., ESPN2). And sure enough, Oregon looks close to being back into the NCAA Tournament field, but not all the way back, with those games plus the Pac-12 Tournament left to play.
Appearing on the "Duck Insider" radio show Monday afternoon, CBS Sports analyst Jerry Palm said Oregon needs to avoid an upset Saturday at USC and probably also win at least once more in the next two weeks. In a bracket projection released Sunday, Palm has Oregon in the tournament field as a No. 11 seed, but noted that the Ducks have "yet to beat a sure tournament team."
"These last four games for Oregon are really important," Palm said, noting the trip to Los Angeles followed by home games against the Arizona schools. "… That's three games out of four left in the regular season before the conference tournament (in which) you've got a chance to say, we're capable of beating tournament quality teams. And I think it's really important to do that."
Oregon currently boasts an RPI of 40 and a strength of schedule of 46 nationally, according to ESPN, both solid numbers for tournament consideration. The Ducks are 8-8 against teams with an RPI in the top 100, and have five wins away from Matthew Knight Arena.
Those 16 games against top-100 opponents comprise two-thirds of the Ducks' schedule, and Oregon hasn't lost to a team outside the top 100, claims no other team generally regarded to be "on the bubble" can make.
But as Palm notes, the Ducks don't have a win that is likely to make selection committee members really sit up and take notice. The best win on the schedule is over Brigham Young, the No. 35 team based on RPI.
The Ducks also have a win over Georgetown, which Palm has slotted into a play-in game. ESPN bracket guru Joe Lunardi, meanwhile, has Georgetown among his "first four out" and Oregon among his "next four out," making the Hoyas a team that could help Oregon's résumé with a few wins down the stretch.
Better yet, the Ducks can help themselves, Palm said. A win at UCLA on Thursday – a quality victory on the road – would be the best-case scenario, he said.
"You don't ever want to throw yourself on the mercy of the court," Palm said. "You want to go out there and take it."

In 'Mask', Andrea Stultiens not just looks 'through' the images made by an anonymous Dutch photorapher from the mid 20th century, but also at them. The glassplate negatives that the portraits were made on have drawings on them, that were meant to enhance (retouche) the image, but that also are fascinating images in themselves.
My work always starts with a story or found documents and photographs, something 'real'. I gues this makes it documentary photography, but not necesarrily in the traditional sence of the word. I show the everyday of ordinary people, and the way photographs give us an opportunity to relate to, deal with, and escape it. I try to question the photographic way of representing a reality in different ways. For example in panoramic photographs or the use of vernacular images in combination with photographs and/or with text. See my website for more information and an up to date c.v.

Kat Mertz has announced the hiring of Hideki Nakada (pronounced: hid-ecky) as an assistant coach for the University of Oregon women's soccer program. Nakada will serve as the program's recruiting coordinator in addition to working with the team's defenders and goalkeepers.EUGENE, Ore. -- Head soccer coach
"I am very excited to have Hideki join our Duck family. He brings with him a wealth of experience in coaching and building championship programs," Mertz said. "I am looking forward to working with him while we continue our goal of building a championship program."
Nakada spent the last four seasons at Marquette University where he oversaw the program's goalkeeping contingent as well as assisting in day-to-day team operations. MU won its first-ever BIG EAST title in 2012, tallying 18 wins while setting a school-record with 17 shutouts. The Golden Eagles advanced to the third round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament before losing to BYU in penalty kicks, 6-5.
Nakada mentored Marquette goalkeeper Natalie Kulla to BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year honors in back-to-back seasons (2010, 2011) and also All-BIG EAST First Team status in those same years. Kulla finished her career at Marquette as the all-time shutouts leader (43), while also ranking first for career goals against average (0.74).
"The goalkeepers that Hideki has trained and developed are proven winners. He has a great ability to connect with players and help them reach their fullest potential," Mertz added.
Nakada started at Marquette in May of 2009 after spending three seasons as an assistant at Idaho State. While overseeing the goalkeepers at ISU, Nakada helped the Bengals to a 2006 Big Sky regular season championship, the Big Sky Tournament title, and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. During his tenure, Nakada also handled scouting, travel, strength and conditioning and other day-to-day aspects of the team.
Under Nadaka's guidance, Lyndsay Gensler received Big Sky All-Conference honors in 2006 and was named the Big Sky Conference Tournament MVP after helping the Bengals claim the tournament title over Sacramento State, 4-3, on penalty kicks.
Another one of Nakada's keepers, Maren Eves, recorded the most saves in the Big Sky Conference and the second-best goals against average for the 2007 season. Following the 2007 season, Eves was awarded All-Big Sky Honorable Mention status, while teammate Bailey Williams also earned All-Big Sky Honorable Mention accolades following the 2008 season.
Prior to his stint at Idaho State, Nakada served as an assistant coach for the George Washington High School soccer team in San Francisco.
Nakada played two years at the University of San Francisco (2001-02), and spent two seasons playing professionally in Japan with Omiya Ardija (2003-04). Nakada graduated from the University of San Francisco in 2005 with a degree in sociology.

i need some help adding my custom items to be dropped from all enemy npc
You need to download default files, Look In The NPC folder and then open random creature like Green Slime. Theres things like AnimationType, FrameCount and so on. You need this [Drop] underneath this world is this 1-3 Gel=100 (this means that Green Slime will Drop 100% 1-3 gel. So you need to Green Slime Drop like Dirt Sword, that means that you need to write under [Drop] this 1 Dirt Sword=30 (mean %)
1-3 (mean how many items wil be droped) After you do that you need to do this In every creature and than copy it to your NPC mod folder.
I hope that you understand me
If you got some other question you can ask me id you need
"from all enemy npc"
You won't do that without code. Basically, you need a file "NPC\NPC.cs", and you need to use the NPCLoot() hook in there.
Don't really want to post the code though, as modding such stuff without knowing how to code is bad; figure it out yourself.

Cooking for Kat – Husband Mike Adams Makes Cooking a Charm not a Chore
by Mike Adams
When Kat Mykals and I started dating she was living on fast food, frozen pizza, and a small variety of modern day TV dinners. I wasn't eating any better. Even though I enjoy cooking, I had no way of doing it at the time. I was living in a small Downtown apartment where the kitchen consisted of a dorm room style mini-fridge and a pink microwave! Because of this I was living on the five-dollar Pizza-Pizza from Little Caesars, The Five Buck Box from Taco Bell, and any case of cold beer I could get for under twelve-dollars. Needless to say, neither of us were eating like we should.
Eventually Kat and I pulled together our collective resources and began to do things a little different. One thing she and I started doing early in our relationship was cooking together. From the start it was more than just about cooking something to eat. It was more about hanging out and spending time with each other, having drinks, talking about everything and laughing at everything else… and when it was all said and done we had an amazing meal in front of us to feast on like king and queen. I remember Kat telling me one night that before I came along she never really took any interest in being in the kitchen, or cooking for herself for that matter. She had always planned to eventually hire someone to do it for her. I distinctly remember laughing when she told me that, and now, one year later it looks like I got the job!
As the husband, food and beverage director, paterfamilias, and resident comedian of the household my job not only consists of being awesome all of the time, but also planning the meals, making wine lists and beer runs, and maybe most importantly, try to keep everyone laughing as much as possible. All of this is relatively easy to keep up with most of the time. But with two pre-teen girls, a six-year old boy, an extremely busy morning radio show personality, and myself sharing the same space, things have a way of going from crazy to borderline institutional really fast. So it's absolutely imperative for us to not take things too seriously and try to have fun in everything we do…even if that isn't much at all.
Yesterday, Kat had the brilliant idea of doing Fajitas for dinner. So while she did some of the things that Kat Mykals does, I went to our local grocer and picked up the following ingredients to make Steak Fajitas:
1lb Sirloin Tip
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Orange Bell Pepper
1 Onion
2 Jalapeno Peppers
1 Package Flour Tortillas
1 Package Taco Seasoning Mix
1 Can Refried Beans
1 Package Spanish Rice
Sour Cream
1 Package of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Package of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
A Steak Fajita night begins with me tossing back a few beers and Kat opening a bottle of wine. Cocktail hour around here can start anywhere between 4:00-6:00 pm. Personally I encourage an early cocktail hour so that the atmosphere is more social and fun before we eat. This might seem like a minute detail in the grand scheme of things, but I believe it to be one of the most crucial elements in ensuring the success of a steak fajita night.
Another extremely important element of steak fajita night is the music. It must be something that everyone in the house can agree upon. Kat and I have found Adele's 21 record to be excellent cocktail hour and dinner music. Some nights we like to incorporate Carole King's Tapestry record. Typically we seem to enjoy more of a classic sound in the music we drink and cook to, but feel free to listen to anything you like.
Now that the drinks have been served and the music is playing at top volume, it is now time to cut some vegetables. Cut all of your bell peppers in half, putting the other half of each pepper back in the refrigerator to be used another time. Slice your bell peppers into thin strips. Then cut your onion in half and slice it into strips just like you did with the bell pepper. You will want to use both of your jalapeno peppers, but first you will need to cut them in half and take out all of the seeds. After you have done this, cut the jalapenos into thin strips as well. Once all of your vegetables are cut you can work on slicing up you sirloin. I cut my sirloin into quarter inch wide strips. This allows the fajita mixture to go further. Those of you with four or more people living in your household will appreciate that. If it's just two of you cut the sirloin thicker if you like. The most important aspect of this process to remember is to have fun while you do it. The rest of it will come together.
Place a large skillet on medium heat and toss in about a tablespoon of olive oil. Brown your sirloin, but do not over cook it. Once the meat is brown, pull it off the heat. In another large skillet on medium heat you will need to toss in a tablespoon of olive oil and then add your sliced onions followed by all of your bell peppers and your jalapeno peppers. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
Once your pepper and onion mixture starts cooking down and getting tender, add your sirloin, your taco seasoning mix, and ¾ cup of water. Bring it to a boil and then simmer until the mixture thickens up. Do not allow your vegetables to get pale in color. You want your vegetables to be soft, but also try to keep as much color in them as possible. Basically if your mixture starts looking like it's all one color you are over cooking it.
While your waiting for your fajita mixture to boil you'll want to make sure to get another drink! Then open your can of refried beans and put them in a small saucepan turned to low heat on the stove. Add about 2 tablespoons of butter, a little salt and pepper, and just under ¼ cup of milk. Stir occasionally until the butter melts and is thoroughly mixed in. Then add a punch (ever seen Donnie Brasco?) of shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Stir it in until melted. At the same time you are doing all of this boil 2 cups of water in a medium sauce pan and toss in your Spanish rice. Follow the instructions on the package.
Now, while you're waiting for everything to come together, go ahead and get some plates out, grab you and whoever else another drink, and get ready to eat some of the most amazing steak fajitas I've ever tasted. Seriously, they are absolutely amazing and the above recipe will easily feed 5 people with no left overs or 2 people with enough left over for a late night snack or lunch the next day.
Serve and enjoy it kids!
As you can see, cooking for Kat and our family isn't a job at all. We have a lot of fun with it, and honestly it's more of a family activity than it is a chore. Cooking together is something we started in the beginning of this crazy little world of ours, and we feel it makes us a stronger family. That might sound a little hokey, but it's true. No matter if it's just the two of us, or the five of us, everyone seems to get involved in one way or another. At bare minimum everyone has a good time, and there is nothing wrong with that.
I encourage you and your family to start cooking together a little more. It's the simple things that are most important and often times overlooked. I hope you like the steak fajitas, and until next time, like a filmmaker friend of mine used to say, "Be well…eat well."

Kelsey Minato averaged 19.0 points last week and was named both the Anaconda Player and Rookie of the Week in women's basketball Monday.
Jan. 21, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - It had never happened until last season, and now it's occurred three times in the last two seasons.
Army Kelsey Minato swept the Patriot League Anaconda Player and Rookie of the Week awards Monday for the period from Jan. 14-20 to become the third student athlete to claim both honors in the same week. Bucknell's Amy Zehner and Lafayette's Emily Homan are the previous two to do it, with both coming last season.
Four big matchups are on Wednesday's slate when League play resumes. Navy returns home to host American, which is tied for first with Army. The Black Knights will be home to host Colgate. Lafayette visits Holy Cross and Lehigh entertains Bucknell in the rest of Wednesday's action. All four games are set for 7 p.m.
KELSEY MINATO, ARMY Fr., Huntington Beach, Calif.
Minato tallied a big week for Army, and was instrumental in both Black Knights victories over League opponents Lafayette and archrival Navy with game-high point totals in both outings. She scored 21 points on 8-of-13 from the floor (including 3 of 7 from beyond the arc) with four rebounds in Wednesday's 63-43 victory at Lafayette. In her first taste of the rivalry with Navy, she scored 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field with another three 3-pointers to go along with seven rebounds and three assists in Sunday's 53-42 triumph. She finished the week shooting 55.6 percent from the field and 50 percent on treys, and is now the leading scorer in League play (18.7 ppg).
ALEXIS DOBBS, AMERICAN Jr., G, Berea, Ohio
Averaged 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game in American's 2-0 week, which featured a 62-56 win at Lehigh and a 67-62 victory at home over Holy Cross. She tallied 13 points against the Mountain Hawks, including the first four of the second half to spark a 14-0 Eagle run that erased a five-point halftime deficit.
AUDREY DOTSON, BUCKNELL So., F, Vienna, Va.
Averaged a double-double last week of 12.0 points and 10.5 rebounds while leading Bucknell to League victories over Colgate and Lafayette. She scored 14 points and tallied the buzzer-beating game-winner Wednesday against the Raiders, and had 10 points and 12 boards against the Leopards.
HILARY WEAVER, LEHIGH Jr., G, Millersburg, Ohio
Averaged 12.5 points and 6.0 assists per game in Lehigh's 1-1 week. She scored 18 points with four assists and four steals in Saturday's 70-62 win at Colgate.
KERRY KINEK, LEHIGH Fr., F, Whitehall, Pa.
Shot 60 percent from the floor and averaged 18.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. She hit double figures in both contests, scoring 19 with nine rebounds Wednesday against American and pouring in 18 points in Saturday's win at Colgate.
ALIX MEMBRENO, NAVY Jr., G, Loxahatchee, Fla.
Led Navy in scoring on the week by averaging 13.5 points and added 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in the Mids' 1-1 week. She had 16 points and six boards in the win at Holy Cross, and hauled in seven rebounds with 11 points Sunday at Army.

OK, we all heard Next Food Network Star finalist Lisa Garza wax poetic about wanting to be a role model for young girls. Many people thought she was just floating a bunch of warm-and-fuzzy babble on national TV. However, I just received an e-mail from a mother whose 8-year old daughter, Maggie, a burgeoning foodie, was captivated by Lisa. The family lives in Round Rock, and made plans to drive to Dallas, eat at Suze, and meet Lisa. Here's Mom's report:
After weeks and weeks of waiting and days selecting what to wear, we made arrangements to stay overnight in Dallas. Then…a phone call…Lisa will not be able to meet her at Suze after all!! She became tangled up with another obligation. There were tears, but we were already in Dallas and Maggie wanted to go eat there anyway. We walked into Suze and were greeted with "Are you Maggie? Lisa is so very sorry she can't be here. She sent these flowers for you though!" Beautiful flowers too! Maggie was in awe of being in the elegant little bistro and took her seat.
The food arrived and we were all happily eating when suddenly Maggie turned chalk white,dropped her fork and squealed. There was Lisa!!!! She'd ducked out of her catering commitment to run by to make sure she didn't let Maggie down!! There was Lisa in brown and cream looking every bit the movie star in her hostess apron. She took Maggie outside and talked with her and posed for pictures and even pulled her husband out of the kitchen so Maggie could tell him she "will never order pasta again if there is lamb on the menu." Lisa had to get back to her work so she hugged Maggie and tied her apron around her little waist and thanked her for being such a great fan. It is we who thank Lisa for her gracious, unselfish spirit that makes this world a more beautiful place. Thank you.
Goose bumps. Who has 'em?

Hudson Goes To Cali
Orlando Hudson is a Padre.
When healthy, O-Dawg was a force at the top of our lineup. However, that healthy state eluded him time and time again. Just when it seemed as if he had recovered from the previous injury and was getting his stroke back, a new malady would crop up.
Basically, O-Dawg was a one-year rental for a playoff push that never transpired. Enjoy him, Cali…when he is in the lineup, that is.
Oh yeah, and his DP mate will be Jason Bartlett…
Small world, huh?!

Hurrah! Hurr... Hey! what's all this then? I said "two by two." I'm seeing "fours" and "ones" and a couple of pile-ups. What's with the curve? We're supposed to be marching! In a line! Straight line!
I give up. You can't herd poppets.
This poppet would like to emphasize that point by pretending to be a cat. So there.

Winston Graham
The most famous unknown author in Britain
You've probably never heard of Winston Graham, but you may heard of Poldark, just one of his 40 novels, writes Osman Streeter
Memoirs of a Private Man, By Winston Graham. Macmillan, £18.99
Winston Graham is best known as the author of the Poldark novels, which became a hugely popular television series round the world. In his long lifetime (he died earlier this year aged 93) he was also known as "the most famous unknown novelist in England".
For an "unknown" novelist, who wrote over 40 novels, amongst them Marnie, which Alfred Hitchcock made into a memorable film starring Tippi Hedren in the title role, he did very well.
True, Graham had been hoping for Grace Kelly to play Marnie, but the Prince of Monaco put his foot down when he discovered that his fairy tale Princess was supposed to play the part of a thief and a liar. But he still did very well. He died rich. Not many novelists can afford a large country house with servants in their 90s, but Graham could.
And yet, as this timely autobiography shows, he never lost his modesty. Most people, when they make it, like to forget their less successful moments. Not Winston Graham.
For example, how many rich and successful people would write about making a fool of themselves in a Paris brothel? Yet here he is, describing how, on seeing the array of girls on offer, he was overcome with a fit of giggles.
Graham tells how the Madame sized him up. "Monsieur," she said, "I think I have something more suitable for you." She guided him through corridors, opened a door – and Graham found himself amongst the dustbins in the back yard.
In truth, there are times when the modesty, genuine though it is, becomes a bit much. One moment, he is telling us that the reviews of his first published novel "were kind, perhaps too kind". The next, he is considering moving to France because of the huge tax bill on his burgeoning earnings.
But behind the modesty there was an edge of steel, and it shows in his description of his dealings with the people filming Poldark for the BBC.
At the start, he was treated like dirt. The producer even told him that, if he dared to show up on the shoot, he would be treated like an ordinary member of the public. By the end, they were leaping to attention when he turned up on set, and begging him to write a third series.
He especially warmed to the actors and actresses in Poldark – and they to him. In particular Angharad Rees, who played Demelza Poldark, took him under her elegant arm, visiting him in hospital as he grew increasingly frail, and charming both staff and patients during each of her many visits.
When people live as long as Winston Graham did, names become a problem for many readers. He writes of evenings with the likes of Gilbert Harding and Sir Ralph Richardson, and of working with the likes of Gregory Peck, Jack Hawkins and Dennis Price, not to mention Valerie Hobson, Arlene Dahl and Samantha Eggar. Perhaps you have to be of a certain age to recognise most of these names.
However, most readers will surely appreciate his contribution to modern films in giving the pre-007 Sean Connery a big boost to his early career by casting him to play against Tippi Hedren in Marnie. And what readers of all ages can appreciate, if they have any literary ambitions, is the fascinating chapter in which Winston Graham relents from his modesty and describes his awesomely professional approach to writing.
One book at a time, never write two things at the same time. Write, rewrite, keep on rewriting, for however long it took until he was satisfied.
Yes, he could afford to take his time, but it is still impressive. For example, to learn about boxing when writing Angell, Pearl and Little God, he spent so much time in the Thomas à Becket pub in the East End that he was treated like a regular, and big fight promoters like Mike Barrett – and big boxers like Henry Cooper - treated him as a friend.
Graham sums it up thus: "I have never been clever enough – or egotistical enough to spend 300 pages dipping into the sludge of my own subconscious".
Of course not. He was much better than that, as this autobiography shows.

Wouldn't it be great if plants could talk? Just imagine how much better that whole tomato-growing exercise would have gone this summer if the plants could have screamed at you that they were dying of thirst or being devoured by hornworms whenever you stepped outside. But no: they withered and died in stubborn silence. This Click & Grow Starter Kit with Chili Pepper ($70) should be a refreshing change. Just add the seed cartridge, insert batteries, and wait for the Click & Grow to tell you exactly what your plant needs and when.

College Hockey:Arbitrator Rules in Favor of Van Ryn
Case Could Dampen College Hockey's Draft Renewal
Mike Van Ryn, the former Michigan defenseman and 1998 first-round draft pick of the New Jersey Devils, won an arbitration case on Thursday granting him unrestricted free-agency, a decision that could have a great impact on college hockey and the NHL Draft.
Players who are chosen in the NHL Draft have two years to sign with the team that selected them, or else they go back into the draft. However, rules say that NHL teams maintain rights to U.S. college players until they leave school, a necessary stipulation since doing so would end the player's collegiate eligibility. If a college player is left unsigned after graduation, he becomes a free agent.
Van Ryn left Michigan after two years to play for Sarnia of the OHL, thus forcing the Devils' hand. But, since Van Ryn was too old to be eligible for the NHL Draft, he said that made him an unrestricted free agent. The Devils argued that they still retained his rights, but lost the case.
For U.S. college teams, it means contending with a player who may use leaving school as a bargaining ploy with their NHL drafted team. Or, players may leave school just to get away from the team that drafted them.
Most importantly, NHL teams may become reluctant to draft college players, knowing they can just leave school after two years in order to force free agency. It would come just as college hockey is seeing more of its players drafted highly by NHL teams.
"This is not good for college hockey," Devils general manager, and former Providence coach, Lou Lamoriello, told the Bergen (N.J.) Record. "It's good for the pockets (of the players), and the agents. To me, it's not good for the development of the player."
Denver head coach George Gwozdecky said recent rulings and changes to the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the NHL Player's Association have adversely affected college hockey.
"Over the last 10 years, the rules have seemed to affect college hockey more adversely than major juniors," Gwozdecky said. "But the game itself is at an all-time high. The game itself continues to flourish and progress. We continue to develop players who graduate with their degrees and move on to the professional ranks. I think that says a lot about college hockey. You can put obstacles in the way, but this is a great thing we have here."
On the other hand, the ruling may just be reinforcing a player's existing rights.
"There's no question that young guys are going to test the waters on that," said Gwozdecky. "But [by] the same [token], if a guy goes to college, he wants to go to college to get a degree."
"I do think it gives more leverage to the college guys who are picked high," said Boston College defenseman Brooks Orpik, a potential first-round pick, to the Bergen (N.J.) Record. "The NHL doesn't like the ruling, but it will be interesting to see what happens. I don't think it will hurt college hockey, but NHL teams might shy away from picking guys like that."
The case was decided by Lawrence Holden, an independent arbitrator in Boston that is also involved in the Alexei Yashin case against the Ottawa Senators.
Van Ryn is still restricted by the NHL's rookie salary cap, and the Devils receive a second-round pick in this year's draft as compensation for losing him.

We list here the best career choices from Mackinaw to Detroit, Lansing and beyond.
New Michigan Jobs
In our starting position of the Michigan Jobs is that of Machinist, which might be thought of as an old-school career. This employment will actually be in demand, most likely in the newer industry of micro machining. Medical instruments may be an example of the product produced.
Accountant, Musician and Government Administrator are the next occupations on the Top 10 list. Efficiency Consultant and National Guard Member round off the top six careers listed.
Customer Service Representative, while not exciting, will be in high demand. These careers may replace some of the employment lost in the automobile manufacturing industry.
The eighth position on the list is held by Union Leader. Our ninth Michigan jobs position is occupied by an educator, and more specifically University Professor. Education will be the key to future employment opportunities.
The champion employment of Zane's Top 10 Michigan Jobs is that of Bio Technology Scientist. Perhaps no career offers a more promising future than this one.

Merge cells if another cell has two or more of same value: My data has two or more records that are the same except for one cell: example A1 Name=Joe, A2=Joe but B1=Tuesday, B2=Wednesday. I need to show one row A1=Joe and B1=Tuesday,Wednesday. I can create another row like C1=B1&B2, but how do I make it loop through A and if there is a matching record, merge the two values that are in B. I think it will be something like putting into C1,C2, C3... =IF(A1=A2..., B1&B2, " ") But instead of A2 how can it loop through all A then merger the results of B for matching records?
Here's a possible solution. (I'm hoping I'v understood your setup correctly)
Step 1) Separate out all your unique names in column A into a new sheet, again into column A on your new sheet - if your using excel 2007 or later you can just copy the whole column over then use the Remove Duplicates tool
Step 2) On your new sheet add the following into column B2. This will count the number of occurrences of each Name. (Note: I'm assuming your Raw data is in Sheet1, and the new copy to process in Sheet2)
Step 3) Add the following to C3. This will find the row number of the first occurrence of the name. (IMPORTANT: this means your Raw data will need to have a Sort applied to ensure the Names all appear grouped together)
Step 4) On Columns D to J you'll need to add the following Array Formula. If you've not worked with Array Formula before then: (i) select cells D2:J2 (ii) ensuring D2 is the active cell (iii) enter the formula below into the formula bar (iv) press ctrl+shift+enter
This takes your data in column B offsets it by the first row occurrence (Step 3), re-sized by the count of names (Step 2), and transposed (which reverses rows for columns)
That may suit you needs as is, but if you insist on comma separating the days, then you can add this to K2, and just hide columns B to J.
I have assumed that you'll never need to join more than 7 values together (eg the 7 days of the week). But if you do, then you'll have to extend the Array formula onto more columns. If you don't have a set max, then it may be worth investigating a VBA solution.
I found another solution which does not require the use of Array Formulas, and should be able to loop through all possibilities. Again, it will require your raw data to be sorted by Name (so that all Names are grouped together), then add this formula to the column directly after your Raw data (I'm assuming C2)
This will Join everything above it with a comma, and reset the join every time the Name changes. By this manor the one with the data you want will always be against the last instance of the Name. We can find the last instance using the results from Steps 2 & 3 in my previous answer, and then index that against the results from the above formula, so..
In the above I'm assuming the name you want the final answer to is in Cell A2

This weekend, hundreds of bands converge on Chicago's Grant Park for Lollapalooza. This is a three day music extravaganza that includes thousands of people and all the garbage and other environmental disruptions that entails. Since I am attending Lollapalooza for a day this weekend (a present for my brother's birthday) I was very excited to hear about Green Street and the green intiatives at Lollapalooza.
Green Street includes and art market that showcases green vendors from Chicago and beyond including Greenheart, an ecofriendly and fair trade shop, Rokoko Art, a store showcasing art made with organic paints and ecofriendly materials, and many others.
Outside of Green Street, there are also many green intiatives put into place by the festival including having composting bins available, bike valet service, and giving attendees the option of purchasing carbon offsets along side their ticket.
Now, obviously Lollapalooza is still a major strain on the environment. Having so many people in one place at one time always will be, but I do feel a little bit better about my participation after reading about these intiatives.
Are you planning to attend Lollapalooza this weekend? What green initiatives are you planning to participate in?

I saw Ahlfors's book Complex Analysis. It mentioned that analytic function $f(z)$ can be derived from a given real part $u(x,y)$, where $x$ and $y$ are real.
It said that $$ u(x,y)=\frac{1}{2}[f(x+iy)+\bar{f}(x-iy)]. \tag{1} $$
However, it mentioned that it is 'reasonable' that (1) holds even when $x$ and $y$ are 'complex'. Why?
I think that, if $x$ and $y$ are real, then real part $u(x,y)$ should be written down by $$ u(x,y)=\frac{1}{2}[f(z)+\bar{f}(\bar{z})], \tag{2} $$ where $z=x+iy$.
Hence, if $x$ and $y$ are complex, (2) should be equal to $$ u(x,y)=\frac{1}{2}[f(x+iy)+\bar{f}(\bar{x}-i\bar{y})]. \tag{3} $$ It confused me for a long time. Please help me.

skilled with your hands, but have no time. Or you're toolbox-challenged. For
whatever reason when it comes to remodeling, you -- like most homeowners --
will hire a contractor to do a major project rather than hammer it out yourself.
Just as remodeling your kitchen calls for a comprehensive
plan, so does hiring a quality remodeling contractor. It's not as
simple as grabbing the phone book and calling the first "pro"
You need to do your homework to protect your home
and your finances.
Plan out the project
Everyone starts with a "visual" of the completed remodeling
project. Put yours down on paper. The more details you include,
the better.
This will help you explain to prospective contractors
exactly what you want. The contractors can provide a realistic bid
based on the same building specifications, materials, labor and
time needed to remodel your kitchen, unfinished basement or addition.
You'll be able to compare costs before committing your pocketbook.
Who are you going to call?
The phone book isn't necessarily your best first option.
Start with a trade association where membership is
not based on dues paid, but adherence to a strict code of ethics
and peer review.
Membership in a professional organization shows professionalism
and the intent to maintain quality in the remodeling, says Lisa
Gunggoll, director of marketing and communication for the National
Association of the Remodeling Industry, the only trade association
solely representing the remodeling industry. To find out if a contractor
is a member or to find a list of contractors who are, contact NARI
at (800) 611-6274.
Turn to family, friends, and neighbors for contractor
referrals. They'll honestly tell you whether a certain contractor
provides quality and timely work.
Pay attention to job-site signs in your neighborhood.
You'll be able to observe a contractor first hand. "If the
guys show up looking like pigs, they're probably doing sloppy work,"
says Tom Newton, manager of communications for CertainTeed Corporation,
a leading manufacturer of residential building products. Talk to
the homeowner about whether they're satisfied with the workmanship.
Local newspapers feature jobs under way, as well as
the special qualifications of local contractors. You can also refer
to the phone book, mail solicitations and advertisements.
Pare down your list
Solicit bids from at least three contractors. Cost is important,
but so are reliability and quality. "Home improvement is among
the top consumer complaints," says Lisa Gunggoll. You need
to educate yourself to find the best contractor for your remodel
Good measuring tools include the Better
Business Bureau and the local building inspection department.
The BBB will be able to tell you how long a company has been in
business and whether any complaints have been filed against the
contractor. Plus, local building inspectors can tell you what they
think of a contractor's work.
Contact the city, county, or state housing authority
to find out what licensing and bonding criteria contractors must
meet. Scratch any contractor off your list who doesn't meet the
Armed to interview
Now it's time to ask more specific questions. "Ask questions
and follow up. Call references, verify insurance, talk to suppliers,"
insists Gonggoll. "Professional contractors will expect your
questions and already have the answers at their fingertips. Red
flags should go up if they can't." Their responses will help
you gage their work and business ethics.
Here are key points to clarify when interviewing a
potential contractor:
Full name and address of the
You want to deal with a reliable company that you can contact readily
both during the project and after the work is complete. "You
want to work with a credible company, not a sloppy outfit handled
from someone's garage," Newton says. Also, it will tell you
how close their base is to your home, as you may pay more for services
to offset the costs of a longer drive.
Length of time in business
Find out how many years a contractor has worked in the remodeling
business as well as how long he's worked under his business name.
A contractor just starting doesn't necessarily equate with poor
quality. But you'll want to carefully check a contractor's referrals
if he's been in operation less than three years. Also scrutinize
contractors closely who've worked under a lot of different names
-- they may have blotchy work habits.
Liability insurance and workers'
compensation insurance
Only hire a contractor who is insured against workers' compensations,
property damage and personal liability in case of an accident on
your property. This protects you!
Be a stickler -- ask for proof of coverage, then call
the insurance carrier to verify that the coverage is up-to-date.
Go directly to the source. Ask the contractor if you can visit a
current job site or look at a portfolio of completed work. Better
yet, request a list of names and phone numbers of recent customers
and call them.
"Ask about the quality, whether the job was completed
on time, if they maintained a punctual work schedule, were easy
to contact and resolved complaints satisfactorily," Gonggoll
Discuss bids
Go into detail with each contractor. You want to thoroughly understand
the price factors of each bid offered to you, especially if they
differ significantly from the other contractors. Higher-priced materials
may mean better quality, and higher labor costs may mean thorough
craftsmanship. Hire a contractor based on skill, reliability, understanding
of your remodeling job and cost -- not just the lowest price.
Who will do the work
Ask whether the contractor will do the work, his employees or subcontractors.
Check whether the subcontractors working on your project are licensed,
bonded and insured properly.
Contact his subcontractors and suppliers to verify
that he has a good credit history. He needs to pay his bills on
time and in full, Gonggoll says. You don't want to be liable for
unpaid work done on your home when you've already paid the contractor
in full.
Work schedule
Ask them when they'll start the project and how long they'll need
to complete it. But don't forget the day-to-day work schedule: When
will they arrive in the morning? When will they quit each day? What
days of the week will they work? Do they work on holidays? Will
the room being remodeled be in service or out of service?
"Don't take these details for granted. Just ask
and make sure their schedule matches your needs," says Gonggoll.
Take the time to ask each contractor if they have
any special training, offer any warranties on their workmanship,
and how they handle customer complaints.
Once you're ready to hire, it's time to set up a payment
schedule and write the contract.
Set up a payment schedule
The payment schedule -- when the contractor is paid for the work
-- depends on the project. Most likely, a contractor who takes one
day to install central air conditioning or two days to install ceramic
tiles will bill you for payment in full when the job is complete.
Never pay a contractor in full before the work is
completed, warns the Better Business Bureau.
A primary contractor who expects to take a month to
build an addition onto your house will set up a payment schedule.
This schedule may be weekly payments, monthly payments or payments
at the end of specified phases. You might consider negotiating a
provision for placing your scheduled payments into an escrow account
until the work is completed.
Double check your contract to make sure it includes
the payment schedule that you understood and agreed on.
Safeguard your home in writing
-- get a contract
The written contract is essential for your protection, as well as
the contractor's. Read the contract from the nuts and bolts on up.
Ask questions about any clause that is unclear. Know what information
needs to be written into your contract.
First, verify the basics: the contractor's full name,
business address, phone number, professional license number and
the starting and completion dates, says Lisa Gonggoll.
Carefully read the description of the remodeling job.
It should thoroughly detail all the materials to be used, right
down to quality, quantity, weight, color, size and brand name. You
want it to include everything the contractor will and will not do
-- the inclusions and the exclusions, continues Gonggoll.
The debris needs to be removed when the job is complete
-- preferably not by you. Your contract should specify how this
will be done.
Check for the total cost of the remodeling project,
including a breakdown of labor and material charges. It should include
the agreed-upon payment schedule. The Better Business Bureau recommends
that you request a release-of-lien clause to protect you from liens
against your home if the primary contractor fails to pay subcontractors
and suppliers.
Any product warranties and workmanship guarantees
need to be clearly spelled out. Most reputable contractors offer
either a full or limited warranty on materials and workmanship for
one year, says Gonggoll. "Take the time to understand the terms
and conditions and length of the warranty. Be sure that you agree
to the terms written in the contract. You don't have to feel pressured
to accept the terms if you're not comfortable. There are a lot of
contractors willing to meet your needs."
Understand your cancellation rights. Federal law requires
contractors to give you written notice of your right to cancel the
contract within three business days if you signed it in your home
and in the presence of the contractor. Ask whether there is a cancellation
policy, when it would kick in, and for how much. If you decide to
cancel, it's a good idea to send the cancellation form by certified
Finally, never sign an incomplete contract, Gonggoll
says. And, keep a copy of the signed and dated contract on file.

SALEM, Ore. ─ Oregon's severe winter storm in February left thousands of residents without power and roadways blocked with downed trees and other debris. Today, teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are working side by side with state and local officials to help communities recover from the disaster.
The presidential disaster declaration stemming from the Feb. 6-10 storm makes FEMA grants available to eligible applicants in Benton, Lane, Lincoln and Linn counties.
FEMA's help comes through the Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program, which reimburses state and local governments, federally recognized tribes and certain private nonprofit organizations for eligible expenses they incurred in protecting lives and property during and following the storm, and in cleaning up and rebuilding afterward. The grant program also provides mitigation funds to help rebuild infrastructure that is better able to withstand future storms.
"Oregon's responders made enormous efforts to protect our citizens and get power lines fixed and debris removed during and after the storm," said State Coordinating Officer Sean McCormick of the Oregon Office of Emergency Management (OEM). "FEMA grants will go a long way toward reimbursing applicants for those expenses."
"FEMA funds go to government entities and nonprofits that restored critical infrastructure in the aftermath of the storm," said Thomas J. Dargan, FEMA's federal coordinating officer for the recovery effort. "We also seek to make communities and infrastructure more resilient to future storms to better protect citizens and property."
Under the PA program, FEMA generally reimburses applicants for 75 percent of their eligible expenses, while the other 25 percent is the nonfederal share. The federal portion is paid directly to the state, which then makes disbursements to the local jurisdictions and organizations that incurred costs.
More information about the PA program is available at www.fema.gov/public-assistance-local-state-tribal-and-non-profit and on the OEM website at www.oregon.gov/OMD/OEM/pages/index.aspx.

Mut: Per Server Stats
This mutator brings the perks stats tracking back the way it were in KF 2.5 in Unreal Tournament 2004: All player stats are being tracked by the server individually.
Download from here. (Version 7.50)
Download source code from here. (Version 7.50)
Note: You are not allowed to use this mutator for selling stats (for money) on your server. Also do not edit ServerPerks.u nor ServerPerksP.u without renaming them.
Upsides about this mutator:

- Fixed an issue with remote database connection where perks would stay disabled for the rest of the map if connection was failed at start.
- Fixed where it wouldn't work on latest KF patch.
- Fixed lobby menu bug where it would remain on screen when you disconnect from the server.
- Added to main menu a "Stats" menu where you can view all your saved stats.
- Changed perk display where if you get perk level past 10 the perk turns green, where after it will show stars at max 5x4 grid on screen.
- Added mid-game saving perks option (in case you have an unstable server).
- Added so it also saves players won games/lost games/total playtime on server.
- Added option for remote database (so that multiple servers can use same perks progression, see below).
- Fixed minor problems with updated Firebug perk.
- Updated to support updated perks in latest KF version.
- Updated network codes of this mod to resolve some other bugs.
- Added 'Maximum perk levels' value for defining max level you can get (you can set max level up to 254).
- Added 'Requirements scaler' to scale the requirements (1 = default, 0.5 = half scaling; i.e: 60 headshot kills becomes 30 headshot kills).
- Added Mutator config/Webadmin config pages for some settings of this mutator.
- This time (hopefully) fixed the perk selection problem.
- Added option (bForceGivePerk) to force players with no perk selected to start with a random perk available.
- Added another option (bNoSavingProgress) to disable progress saving (for level 6 perks only servers).
- Fixed perk selection in Trader and Lobby menus.
- Fixed some problems with not being able to select perk sometimes.
- While at it fixed a memory leak problem on Lobby menu.
- Fixed an issue with demolition stats loading.
- Fixed a crash with "SRPerkSelectList" menu.
- Updated it to work on latest KF version.
- Added in Demolition perk.
- Updated all perks to be equally to latest KF version.
- Added a new option to specify minimum perk level for all players (edit ServerPerksV2.ini).
- Added to lobby menu a "Main Menu" button where people can access perks selection and map voting.
- Released.
How to use this mutator (eighter way):
CountryFlagsTex.utx is an optional country tags texture file. You can use my country tags mutator to give all players tags and this mutator will replace those tags with flag textures.
Server Perks Database (OPTIONAL)(Advanced users only!)
Download from here. (Version 1.55)
Download from here. Same version but without any windows at all (needs to be shut down from task manager).
Version history:
- Fixed a stat loading bug from earlier versions.
- Modified it to convert Linux SteamID's into Windows SteamID.
- Support long stat value string lines (REQUIRED since serverperks v5.00).
- Optimized code a bit and added a new option.
- Created.
This is an application I wrote in C++ which basically works as a remote database for your perks stats. In order to use this you need:
- A dedicated server machine that's on Windows OS.
- Setup a Port and Password in Host.ini:
- IF you have any earlier stats on server, copy over ServerPerksStat.ini to same folder as ServerPerksHost.exe and launch the exe as: ServerPerksHost.exe ServerPerksStat.ini
This way it will convert to the new stats ini file. After this is done delete all ServerPerksStat.ini you have.
- Now simply launch up KillingFloor server as-well as ServerPerksHost.exe.
- If you want to convert Data.ini back to ServerPerksStat.ini, run: ServerPerksHost.exe UNDO
Using FTP protocol for database in ServerPerks v7
Make sure you assign these settings in ServerPerks.ini:
In other words, ideal settings are:
Max connections - ~10 (or more depending on how many servers will use this).
Idle timeout - 120 seconds.
Only allow client to read/write files.
If you want to upload onto FTP current stats saved on server, enable following setting on ServerPerks.ini: bUploadAllStats=True. Then start game on solo and wait for it to finish uploading everything. I will add to ServerPerksHost application a way to convert Data.ini to ServerPerksStats.ini back again if you want to switch the host protocol of your server.
If there are any bugs, please report them here (or if you have any comments/suggestions)!

Very cool dude, well done. I was hoping someone would do something like this.
It is a good mutator but you ak47 isn't support on commando, can you fix that???
Great Mutator I love it but I cannot seem to get the MutJump mutator working correctly
cool but i tried it in solo how does it work coz wen i spawned it sayed perks are disable. or does this only work on dedicated? or do i need to type something in chat? to enable it? also i had to remove it from my serve coz at the boss wave the boss dies instance. hope u can fix that its really nice idea!

Author appear at the forum please
Which I have found the list of defects in yours mutators:
1. Sometimes in game simply there is no choice percs though in ".ini" file the data arrive!;
2. On many times pressing "Esc" button or calling statistic window client crashing with error
3. Need To add operation of the new weapon though have checked up, like works;
4. Idea excellent especially for my server with 30 players!;
5. We wait the stable new version;
P.S. All files of mutator are necessary to the client? Or enough one loaded from server ServerPerks.u (with one it statistics works, percs shake)?
Last edited by Maksimus; 10-15-2009 at 03:10 AM.
Why file ServerPerksStat.ini is in UTF-16 LE charset coding?
2: Good to know, I'll look up on that.
3: Huh?
And yes, only ServerPerks.u is needed by the clients.
This perk mutator was very useful~
Can you create a new version for this update? (+ Demolitions)
I want to use your mutator!!
this mut cool but ye needs update wen u got the time

Michael Chow Makes Strategic Sartorial Choices
The restaurateur says his trademark glasses once helped fight racism.
"When I first came to England I realised that two things could let you off the hook race-wise: Eccentricity and fame. For that reason I call them my 'anti-racism' glasses, because people look at the glasses more than me, so the Chinese part begins to disappear." — Michael Chow, the man behind the Mr. Chow mini-empire, says he started wearing his famous glasses to help combat racist sentiment.

A Star Trek tractor beam may be closer to reality than we think, claim researchers at the University of Dundee in Scotland. The Enterprise's tractor beam would often be used to "tow" spacecrafts that were dead in the water, as it were. But a variation of the invisible beam, powered by sound waves, was found able to move a hollow object a few centimeters, reports Scottish scientists, who say that their research may have far reaching impact in the medical field.
According to NewsOxy on June 1, the UK research team was able to "use a ultrasound device that is already clinically approved for use in MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery to move and even rotate the object. They claim that their tractor beam is the strongest one ever created and they plan to continue to develop it to make it even stronger."
Lead researcher Dr. Christine Demore, from Dundee's Institute for Medical Science and Technology, said: "We were able to show that you could exert sufficient force on an object around 1cm in size to hold or move it, by directing twin beams of energy from the ultrasound array towards the back of the object." Demore added that their findings could be used in non-invasive surgeries, targeted drug delivery and other medical procedures.
The acoustic beam is shaped to match the targeted object. The research team believes their results will lead to advancement in ultrasound-based techniques. The scientists have published their results in the journal Physical Review Letters.
"The concept has been there for a long time," Dr. Demore said. "It took a couple of years to find the right pieces and get them together, with lots of other research going on." Demore said that while other "tractor beams" have been developed, her team was the first to move an object with significant mass.
"This is the first time anyone has demonstrated a working acoustic tractor beam and the first time such a beam has been used to move anything bigger than microscopic targets," Demore said. "We were able to show that you could exert sufficient force on an object around one centimeter in size to hold or move it, by directing twin beams of energy from the ultrasound array towards the back of the object."

The following is a list of the odds for NASCAR drivers to win the 2014 5-hour Energy 400, which will be run on Saturday night, May 10, 2014, at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.
As you will see below, Kevin Harvick is the favorite to win this race, but he is not a heavy favorite. Can anybody believe that Jimmie Johnson is still looking for his first win in 2014?
As a bettor there are two way of looking at that. Either Jimmie Johnson is due for a win, or he is a poor bet because he has yet to win at low odds this season.
This is a pretty young race on the NASCAR circuit, and the Kansas Speedway is not one of the older tracks in NASCAR. You can see the previous winners of this race at NASCAR drivers who have won the 5-hour Energy 400 at Kansas Speedway.
NASCAR odds for 2014 5-hour Energy 400 at Kansas Speedway, Kevin Harvick favored
1. Kevin Harvick - 5 to 1 odds
At odds of 5 to 1, Kevin Harvick is the betting favorite to win the 5-hour Energy 400 this week. Kevin Harvick has already won at Phoenix and Darlington so far this year. Harvick has yet to win this race, but he won the fall race at the Kansas Speedway in 2013.
2. Jimmie Johnson - 6 to 1
Jimmie Johnson, who has yet to win a race in 2014, is the second betting choice with 6 to 1 odds. Jimmie Johnson has never won this race, but he has won at Kansas twice (2008 and 2011).
T-3. Brad Keselowski - 8 to 1
Brad Keselowski won the inaugural running of this race in 2011. Brad Keselowski has one win this season at Las Vegas.
T-3. Jeff Gordon - 8 to 1
Jeff Gordon has won twice at Kansas, but his last win at the track was in 2002.
T-3. Matt Kenseth - 8 to 1
Matt Kenseth won this race in 2013, and he is 8 to 1 odds to repeat as the 5-hour Energy 400 winner this year. Matt Kenseth has two wins in Kansas.
6. Joey Logano - 10 to 1
Joey Logano has no wins in Kansas yet, but he won at both Texas and Richmond this year.
T-7. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. - 12 to 1
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has yet to win at Kansas, but he did win the Daytona 500 this year.
T-7. Kyle Busch - 12 to 1
2014 Auto Club 400 winner Kyle Busch, who has no wins yet in Kansas, is 12 to 1 odds.
T-7. Kasey Kahne - 12 to 1 odds
Kasey Kahne has zero wins this year and at Kansas.
10. Denny Hamlin - 15 to 1
Denny Hamlin, who just won last week at Talladega, and who won this race in 2012, is 15 to 1 odds to win in back-to-back weeks.
T-11. Carl Edwards, Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Kyle Larson - 20 to 1 each
Tony Stewart (2006, 2009) and Greg Biffle (2007, 2010) both have two wins in Kansas, while the other three drivers at 20 to 1 odds have never won at this track.
16. Kurt Busch - 25 to 1
Kurt Busch has no wins in Kansas yet, but he did win at Martinsville at big odds this year.
T-17. Brian Vickers and Ryan Newman - 40 to 1
Ryan Newman won at Kansas in 2003. Brian Vickers has yet to win at Kansas.
T-19. Martin Truex, Paul Menard, Jamie McMurray - 60 to 1
No wins at Kansas for this trio yet.
T-22. Aric Almirola, Ricky Stenhouse, Austin Dillon - 100 to 1
No wins for this trio at triple-digit odds.
T-25. Danica Patrick, A.J. Allmendinger, Justin Allgaier, Marcos Ambrose, Casey Mears - 200 to 1
No wins in Kansas for this bunch at 200 to 1 odds each. Will Danica Patrick ever win? IDK but she is hot. For more see 20 Hot photos of NASCAR driver and model Danica Patrick.
Field of All Other Drivers - 100 to 1
