Men's Basketball Championship Central
March 10 | March 9 | March 8 | March 7 | March 6
1:32 p.m.
As we prepare to leave the FedEx Forum and say goodbye to another successful Conference USA Tournament, we'll give the final work to Memphis head coach Josh Pastner, whose team has won 20 of its past 23 games.
"This wasn't about any schemes or any Xs and Os," Pastner said. "This was about the players. They're the ones who got the job done, bottom line."
1:23 p.m.
Memphis head coach Josh Pastner said he believes the Tigers deserve at least a No. 5 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. And after watching the Tigers blitz his team by 26 points, Marshall head coach Tom Herrion certainly wouldn't argue with that assessment.
"We ran into a team that's playing as well as any team in America," Herrion said. "That team might be the most improved team in the country the last three or four weeks, and they played that way today."
12:57 p.m.
Memphis guard Joe Jackson was named the tournament Most Valuable Player, marking the first time in conference history that a player has won the award in consecutive years. Jackson capped his MVP performance with 19 points and six assists against Marshall.
12:52 p.m.
The Memphis Tigers did not make many mistakes in their 83-57 victory over Marshall, but Wesley Witherspoon did commit a slight error during the ensuing celebration. He was holding up a sign toward the cheering crowd that proudly declared, "Memphis Tigers, 2012 C-USA Champions." The only problem was the sign was upside-down. Witherspoon paraded around with the sign for several several before teammates got him to turn it around.
12:35 p.m.
After two sub-par games in the Conference USA Tournament, Will Barton once again looked like the league's Player of the Year (which he is). Barton has 18 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Considering that the Tigers have made 60.5 percent of their shots, Barton's rebounding total of 13 is especially impressive.
12:32 p.m.
Memphis forward Tarik Black left the game in the second half holding his right forearm after taking a scary-looking spill into the Marshall bench. No word yet on the extent of the injury, but the good news for the Tigers is he is back on the bench and doesn't appear to be in any obvious pain.
12:29 p.m.
With the way Memphis has been playing, it probably wouldn't have matter what happened at the free-throw line in this game. But if the teams percentages were reversed, the game would at least be much closer. Memphis has made 21-of-23 foul shots (91.3 percent) while Marshall is only 8-for-18 (44.4 percent).
12:27 p.m.
It's showtime at the Forum. Memphis is putting on a clinic, dunking and draining treys on one end and blocking shots on the other. The Tigers have built a 75-53 lead with 3:23 to play. It's probably safe for Memphis fans on Beale Street to go ahead and start celebrating (if they ever stopped).
11:52 a.m.
As good as the Tigers have been from the field, they have been even more impressive from the free-throw line. Memphis has made 15-of-16 foul shots. Three players are a perfect 4-for-4 from the line, while Will Barton has messed up the Tigers' chance at perfection by going 3-for-4.
That single point has prevent Barton from already having a double-double in this game. He has nine points and 10 rebounds, and we're barely four minutes into the second half.
11:46 a.m.
This is how you deflate a team's comeback chances. Marshall opened the second half by sinking its first shot to make the score 45-29. Memphis answered immediately with a 3-pointer. The Tigers are now 16-of-27 from the field, which is 59.3 percent. There is no way they are going to lose at home shooting nearly 60 percent.
11:23 a.m.
Marshall started the game 7-of-11 from the field. Since then, the Herd has gone 3-of-15, and Memphis has built a commanding 45-27 halftime lead.
11:15 a.m.
The Tigers are starting to roar. Marshall has not made a shot from the field in nearly seven minutes, and Memphis has built a 35-19 lead. The Thundering Herd has shown amazing grit throughout the tournament, but battling back from a 16-point deficit on the Tigers' homecourt might be too much to ask of this team.
11:11 a.m.
Is fatigue finally becoming a factor for the Thundering Herd? After all, this is Marshall's fourth game in four days, and that includes a three-hour, triple-overtime marathon against Tulsa on Thursday. Marshall guard DeAndre Kane was on the court for 54 minutes in that game. It could be taking a toll, as Kane is 2-for-7 from the floor in the first half.
11:05 a.m.
The pace has been frenetic so far, with both teams making more than 50 percent of their shots. Marshall has been staying close, though Memphis is threatening to start pulling away. With seven minutes left in the first half, the Tigers lead 26-18.
10:46 a.m.
You can tell this is a big game for the Thundering Herd, who have not made it to the NCAA Tournament in 25 years. Marshall head coach Tom Herrion usually sheds his suit coat within a minute after tip-off. This time he waited until the first television timeout, more than four minutes into the game, before he removed it.
10:30 a.m.
An impressive number of Marshall fans have made the trip to Memphis for today's Conference USA Tournament championship game between the Tigers and the Thundering Herd. Some of them have been in town for several days, but quite a few apparently left home as soon as they got off work on Friday and basically drove all night to get here. At 8 a.m., there was a line of Marshall fans waiting for the FedEx Forum box office to open so they could buy tickets for the game.
If the Marshall players demonstrate similar tenacity and resolve, then we are in store for a great game. Let's play some championship basketball.
5:57 p.m.
It's the game that will never end. Tulsa and Marshall are heading to triple overtime tied 86-86. DeAndre Kane, who has scored a game-high 35 points, nearly hit a half-court shot at the buzzer that would have ended the game, but it bounced off the rim.
This game has lasted so long that Tulsa's Jordan Clarkson ran back to the locker room between the second and third OTs, apparently because nature was calling.
5:51 p.m.
Marshall has had an entire team foul out. The Thundering Herd currently has five players sitting on the bench with five fouls each. And yet Marshall still trails by only one point with 30 seconds left in the second overtime.
5:46 p.m.
If you enjoy close basketball games, then the Conference USA Tournament is the place to be today. We are closing in on 95 minutes of playing time, spread across two games and three overtime sessions, without any of the teams holding a double-digit lead. In fact, over the past 71 minutes the largest lead has been six points. Amazing.
5:35 p.m.
Memphis fans probably considered the afternoon session of the Conference USA Tournament quarterfinals to be merely an appetizer to tonight's main course of Memphis vs. UTEP. Well, the appetizer just turned into a full-blown meal. We are going into double overtime in the Tulsa vs. Marshall game. The score is tied 74-74. We are less than an hour away from the scheduled tip of the Memphis-UTEP game. At this rate, this game might not be over by then.
5:23 p.m.
If Marshall somehow pulls out a victory in this game it will be a minor miracle. With 1:25 left in overtime, the Thundering Herd has had four players foul out. Fortunately for the Herd, DeAndre Kane and Shaquille Johnson are still on the floor. Those two have combined to score 49 of Marshall's 71 points.
5:15 p.m.
Former Chicago Cubs player Ernie Banks famously said, "Let's play two." The motto in Conference USA today should be "Let's play five more." As in minutes. As in overtime.
For the second time in two games today, we have overtime. A Tulsa vs. Marshall contest that was close throughout is, appropriately enough, tied at the end of regulation. Marshall held Tulsa scoreless over the final 3:25 and scored six consecutive points to erase a 64-58 deficit. So we have five more minutes, at least, before a winner will be determined.
5:00 p.m.
We have finally broken the five-point barrier. For the first time all game, somebody has a lead larger than five. Tulsa has built a whopping six-point advantage, 62-56, with 3:23 remaining.
Of course, within seconds, Marshall hit a basket to cut the lead to 62-58. We're back within five points again.
4:40 p.m.
Even though there are still eight minutes left in regulation, it's probably safe to go ahead and declare that DeAndre Kane will be the MVP of the game for Marshall. Kane is 9-of-18 from the field, meaning he has accounted for exactly half of the Thundering Herd's baskets. The rest of the team is 9-of-26 from the field. Kane, who averaged 15.8 points per game this season, already has scored 20 in this game, to go along with five rebounds.
As for the game, it remains amazingly close. The largest lead still has been only five points.
3:53 p.m.
This is certainly shaping up to be an exciting day of basketball in the Conference USA Tournament. In the opener between Southern Miss and East Carolina, neither team ever led by more than eight points and the largest lead over the final 16 minutes of the second half and throughout overtime was five points. And now in the second game of the day between Tulsa and Marshall, the largest lead in the first half was also five points. So we have just had a total of 41 minutes of basketball over two games where the largest lead was five points.
And the games haven't just been close, they have constantly shifted back and forth. There were 14 lead changes and eight ties in the second half and overtime of the USM-ECU game, and 10 lead changes and eight ties in the first half of Tulsa vs. Marshall. That's a total of 24 lead changes and 16 ties over 45 minutes of basketball. It doesn't get much better than that.

3:02 p.m.
Since he first became a Division I head coach in 1990, Southern Miss' Larry Eustachy has been involved in a total of 658 basketball games. And out of all of those, he said the one that took place Thursday afternoon in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA Tournament has to rank among his all-time favorites.
Southern Miss held off a scrappy effort by East Carolina to win 81-78 in overtime. There were clutch shots, key defensive plays and record-setting performances by both teams.
"That was a great game, one of the best games I've ever been involved in," Eustachy said. "I've been in some good ones, but that one belongs right up at the top. It was a great win for us."
Of course, games are always more enjoyable when you win. But even though ECU head coach Jeff Lebo was on the losing side of the final score, even he had to admit, "That was a heck of a basketball game."
"We fought through a lot of adversity in a lot of different areas," Lebo said. "We battled, we fought, we clawed. And despite all the adversity, we had a chance to win the game. We just came up a little short."
2:23 p.m.
If the first game is any indication of what we can expect, then this is going to be one wild, exciting day of Conference USA basketball. Southern Miss prevailed over East Carolina 81-78 in overtime in a game that had a little bit of everything.
The Golden Eagles used the balance of six players scoring in double figures, all between 17 and 10 points each. Meanwhile, ECU tied a C-USA Tournament record by making 15 3-pointers, and Miguel Paul scored a career high 28 points and set a tournament record with 12 assists.
The best thing about this game was the clutch shooting. Robert Sampson sank a 3-pointer to force overtime, and USM's Darnell Dodson made a trey with a minute left in the extra session to give the Golden Eagles the lead for good.
How good was this game? There were 14 lead changes and eight ties in the second half / overtime. And we still have three more games to go today.
2:00 p.m.
Sampson comes alive. Robert Sampson, son of the legendary Ralph Sampson, just drained a 3-pointer with 15.8 seconds remaining to tie the game at 68 and force overtime. Win or lose, this has been an amazing, gutsy effort by East Carolina.
1:51 p.m.
If you had said before the game that East Carolina guard Miguel Paul was going to reach his career high of 25 points with still three minutes remaining and that the Pirates as a team would have made a dozen 3-pointers, you probably would have predicted an ECU victory. If you had said that Darrius Morrow was going to have no points and only two rebounds with three minutes left, you probably would have said the Pirates were sure to lose. Well, both those things have happened, and the outcome is still in doubt. Southern Miss leads 65-61.
1:23 p.m.
Give East Carolina credit. The Pirates refuse to go away. In fact, back-to-back 3-pointers have helped propel them on an 11-3 run and tie the game at 43. ECU is 9-for-17 from 3-point range, compared to 3-of-10 for Southern Miss.
1:18 p.m.
Stop me if you've heard this one. Foul on Darrius Morrow. That's the fourth on the big guy, and he is back on the bench with 16 minutes to play and Southern Miss leading 40-32. The odds are getting longer by the minute for ECU.
1:15 p.m.
Ouch. Barely one minute into the second half, Darrius Morrow has picked up his third foul, an offensive call that was made when he turned near the basket to go in for a layup attempt. Even though he now has three fouls, Morrow is remaining in the game in an attempt to end USM's run, which is up to 12-0.
12:57 p.m.
Southern Miss came to life at the end of the first half with a 7-0 run that has given the Golden Eagles a 32-30 halftime lead. Both teams are 11-for-23 from the field, but East Carolina has made more 3-pointers (6 to 3) while USM has made more free throws (7 to 2). It is easier to continue making free throw than it is 3-pointers, so a slight edge has to go to the Golden Eagles right now.
The Pirates must hope that they will receive a boost with the return of forward Darrius Morrow, who has no points or rebounds after sitting out much of the first half with two fouls. Morrow is averaging 14 points and 16 rebounds per game this season, so the fact that the Pirates are down by only two points without any contribution from their big senior is a reason for optimism for ECU fans.
12:39 p.m.
Nice job of adjusting by East Carolina. After the early flurry of six made 3-pointers in eight attempts, the Pirates missed three treys in a row. So sure enough, they began working the ball inside and it has paid off. ECU now has 10 points in the paint and holds a 30-25 lead three minutes before the half. If the Pirates can hold on until halftime and get Darrius Morros back into the game, they appear to have a decent chance of pulling off the upset.
12:23 p.m.
East Carolina is off to a hot start against Southern Miss, making six of their first eight 3-point attempts. In fact, all of ECU's points have come from 3-point range, as the Pirates hold an early 18-15 lead. But they are going to have to work the ball inside at some point, and the most likely candidate is 6-foot-8, 245-pound senior forward Darrius Morrow, who is averaging 14 points per game this season on 54.6 percent shooting. The problem is, Morrow has already picked up two quick fouls and is on the bench. Unless the 3-pointers keep falling, the Pirates could be in trouble the rest of this half.
12:15 p.m.

11:44 a.m.
Thursday's quarterfinal action of the 2012 C-USA Men's Basketball Championship is almost underway at FedExForum. Southern Miss will be battling East Carolina in the first game, followed by Tulsa and Marshall at 2:30 p.m. Host Memphis faces UTEP at 6:30 and UAB and UCF square off at 9 p.m. If you can't be with us in person, all of Thursday's action can be seen on CBS Sports Network.
11:50 p.m.
So it's four games down, four more to go on Thursday. The second round will begin at noon Central Time with Southern Miss taking on East Carolina. That will be followed by Tulsa vs. Marshall at 2:30 p.m., top-seeded Memphis vs. UTEP at 6:30 p.m. and UCF vs. UAB at 9 p.m.
11:45 p.m.
As UAB head coach Mike Davis walked off the court following the Blazers' 72-64 victory over Tulane late Wednesday night, he spotted a couple of friends in the stands and gave them an exaggerated wipe of his brow, as if to say, "Let's take that one and get out of here."
It is an understandable feeling for Davis, who has not had much success at the FedEx Forum. Davis went into last night's game with a 1-9 career record at the arena: 0-6 in regular-season games against the Memphis Tigers and 1-3 in Conference USA Tournament games.
"To get a win at FedEx is a really good win for us," Davis said afterward with a smile.
The Blazers got 22 points and 14 rebounds from Cameron Moore, which was expected, and 20 points and 12 boards from Ovie Soko, which was a bit of a surprise. Soko averaged only 7.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game during the regular season.
"That was the type of game we've been hoping to get from him all year," Davis said. "If he hadn't played like that tonight, we wouldn't have had a chance of winning the game."
11:00 p.m.
The UAB vs. Tulane game is shaping up to have one of the stranger stats of the day. With seven minutes left to play, Tulane has taken 20 more shots from the field than the Blazers (51 to 31). Yet the Green Wave trail 56-48.
The discrepancy in shots from the field has occurred because the Blazers have committed seven more turnovers than Tulane and have taken 16 more free throws (25 to 9). And the Green Wave trail because even though they have taken all those shots, they haven't made many of them. Tulane has made 38.5 percent of its shots from the field and has gone 1-for-12 from 3-point range.
10:15 p.m.
We're at halftime of the final game of the opening round, and it's a good one. Tulane leads UAB 28-27. There have been nine lead changes and seven ties, and neither team has led by more than six points.
Tulane has taken 11 more shots than UAB, partly because the Blazers have committed 10 turnovers (to only three by the Green Wave). But Tulane has made only two more shots than the Blazers and has gone 1-for-8 from 3-point range.
9:23 p.m.
Give Gabriel McCulley credit for a basket and an assist off the same play. The basket was obvious, as McCulley drained a 3-pointer in overtime to break open a tie game and give UTEP a lead they never relinquished on the way to a 67-62 victory over Houston.
The assist came later, as McCulley stood up for his teammate, Julian Washburn, whose missed dunk on that play sent the ball sailing over the rim and directly to McCulley, who was standing wide open in the right corner. When McCulley was asked after the game about Washburn missing the dunk, McCulley replied, "I think that was a good pass. It was an excellent pass from him off the board."
It was an admirable statement from McCulley, but not an accurate one. Washburn himself admitted that he simply blew the dunk.
The play took place following a UTEP timeout with three minutes left in overtime and the score tied at 60. Head coach Tim Floyd designed a play for Washburn to get the ball on the inbound pass along the baseline and drive immediately toward the basket.
And that is exactly what happened, except as Washburn began to throw down the one-handed slam, he said the ball simply slipped out of his hand.
"Coach Floyd drew up a great play, I just didn't execute it," Washburn said. "I thought the ball was going out of bounds. But I looked up and Gabe had the ball wide open in the corner, and that's where he likes to shoot it. I knew it was going in as soon as it left his hands. That was by far the biggest play of the game."
Floyd agreed, saying, "We wanted to run a backdoor play to get something at the rim for Julian off the inbound. He got it to the rim, he just missed his dunk. We were very fortunate that the ball went to the right guy at the right place."
That guy was McCulley, who made that shot and finished with 18 points and eight rebounds, both team highs. But as far as he is concerned, his biggest shot of the game came off an excellent pass by Washburn.
When Washburn was told what McCulley had said, he smiled and replied, "Then I should get an assist for that, right?"
8:45 p.m.
For the sixth time this season, UTEP has won a game while trailing with less than five minutes to play, though this might have been the most unlikely comeback of them all. With Alandise Harris and Tashawn Thomas both putting up double-doubles for Houston, the Cougars appeared to be in control late in the game. But Houston was undone by the poor outside shooting of starting guards Joseph Young and Darian Thibodeaux, who combined to go 0-for-13 from 3-point range.
Combine that with a botched UTEP dunk that turned into a made 3-pointer, and the Miners somehow staged a comeback and pulled off a 67-62 overtime victory. This was a fun, exciting game that had a little bit of everything, including a surprise ending.
8:32 p.m.
We may have just seen the play that decides this game. With the scored tied at 60, UTEP's Julian Washburn went up for a slam dunk while driving hard along the baseline. As he reached the top of his jump and began to throw down a one-handed jam, the ball slipped from his hand and shot across the court straight into the hands of Gabriel McCulley, who was standing all alone in the right corner. McCulley calmly drained a 3-pointer, giving the Miners a 63-60 lead with less than two minutes remaining. What a crazy, crazy play.
8:26 p.m.
After all the accolades directed toward Alandise Harris in this game, he missed a mid-range jumper at the buzzer, and we are heading to the first overtime of the tournament. But the fact is, if the Cougars had received any sort of decent offensive production from their starting backcourt, they would have won this game by double digits. Guard Joseph Young and Darian Thibodeaux are a combined 0-for-12 from 3-point range.
8:18 p.m.
Alandise Harris just sank a 15-foot turnaround jumper to break a 56-56 tie and give Houston the lead with 33 seconds to play. He now has 25 points on 11-of-14 shooting. The rest of the Cougars have combined to scored 33 points
7:52 p.m.
Alandise Harris is starting to have a monster game for the Cougars. He just took a pass in the lane and powered his way to a layup despite being fouled hard by UTEP's Cedrick Lang, and then followed that up with a 3-pointer. He currently has 21 points (tying his career high) on 9-of-12 shooting and 10 rebounds. If the Miners can't figure out a way to slow him down soon, it's going to be extremely difficult for them to win this game.
7:43 p.m.
The offensive pace has definitely picked up in the second half of the Houston vs. UTEP game. After combining to make a total of 19 baskets in the entire first half, the two teams have already hit 10 baskets six minutes into the second half. Houston forward Alandise Harris is closing in a double-double, with 13 points and eight rebounds.
7:15 p.m.
Houston and UTEP are engaged in a defensive showdown in the third game of the opening round, with the Cougars holding a 25-21 lead at the half. Though points have been tough to find for both teams, Houston forward Alandise Harris has been doing OK, making 4-of-5 shots from the field and taking a nine-point, six-rebound performance into halftime.
The most amazing stat from the first half is the fact that UTEP has only one assist. The Miners ranked fourth in C-USA in assists during the regular season, averaging 14.3 per game. Jacques Streeter led the team with 4.6 assists per game, but he still is looking for his first one tonight.
5:23 p.m.
Marshall scored 41 points over the final 16 minutes of the Herd's 74-56 victory over SMU. That offensive explosion coincided with Damier Pitts' return to the game for Marshall following a left leg injury that sidelined him for most of the first half. Damier scored all 16 of his points in the second half, including a flurry of seven points in less than two minutes.
"I thought we had a chance when Pitts went down, but when he came back in the second half he showed how good he is," SMU head coach Matt Doherty said. "He's kind of like (Los Angeles Clippers points guard) Chris Paul in the way he can take over a game."
That is high praise indeed, but Pitts was far from alone. DeAndre Kane had 18 points, four assists and three steals, Shaquille Johnson had 15 points and five assists, and Dennis Tinnon hauled in a game-high 15 rebounds. Overall, Marshall outrebounded SMU 43-31 and held the Mustangs to 29 percent shooting (9-of-31) in the second half.
"At times I felt like it was men against boys out there," Doherty said.
4:37 p.m.
Game 2 is in the books. Marshall broke open a close contest in the second half and pulled away for a 74-56 victory. The Thundering Herd advances to play Tulsa at 2:30 p.m. CST Thursday. The winner of today's opening game, East Carolina, will play Southern Miss at noon Thursday.
We still have two more first-round games this evening. No. 8-seeded UTEP will take on ninth-seeded Houston at 6:30 p.m., followed by UAB vs. Tulane at 9 p.m.
4:20 p.m.
Marshall guard Damier Pitts was helped off the court five minutes into the game with a left leg injury. At the time it appeared the injury might be serious. But Pitts returned in the second half and has played well. With 3:48 remaining he has 14 points (all in the second half), two rebounds and two assists. Since his return he has gone 4-for-6 from the field and made all five of his free-throw attempts.
4:06 p.m.
Marshall center Nigel Spikes just made it known that he is not pleased with the unwillingness of some of his teammates to work the ball inside for easier shots. He has a point. While the Thundering Herd is only 3-for-15 from 3-point range, they are shooting 50 percent (17-of-34) from inside the arc.
3:52 p.m.
The Marshall band just played a rousing rendition of the old Twisted Sister song, "We're Not Gonna Take It." Maybe Marshall and SMU should consider that to be a message aimed at their 3-point shooting. We are barely five minutes into the second half and the two teams have combined to take 30 3-pointers. The problem is, they have combined to make only six of them. Marshall is 2-of-12 from long range and SMU is 4-for-18. Perhaps they shouldn't take it, at least not so often.
3:23 p.m.
We have been enjoying some close basketball games in the Conference USA Tournament. Real close. Through the first game-and-a-half there has has yet to be a double-digit lead. In fact, we went nearly 50 minutes over two games without there being a lead of more than six points (from the 14:20 mark of the first half of the first game to the 4:50 mark of the first half of the second game).
Marshall has managed to build a 33-26 lead over SMU at halftime of the second game, thanks to a short baseline jumper by DeAndre Kane at the buzzer. But based on what we've seen so far, look for the Mustangs to keep things close in the second half.
2:57 p.m.
If you had told East Carolina head coach Jeff Lebo early in the season that rebounding would be the key to his team's first-round victory in the Conference USA Tournament, he would have laughed.
"We were getting crushed on the glass back then, just manhandled," Lebo recalled. "We were losing the battle of the boards by 16 or 18 a game. That's a stat we weren't winning at all."
But against Rice, rebounding was one of the few stats the Pirates did win, and it turned out to be the one that made the biggest difference in their 68-66 victory. ECU outrebounded the Owls 23-10 in the second half and finished the game with 20 second-chance points compared to only two for Rice.
Those stats helped ECU offset Rice's significant shooting advantage from the field (52 percent to 42.6 percent), and sent the Owls home shaking their head and wondering what had happened.
"We played well enough to win this game in so many ways," Rice head coach Ben Braun said. "The big key was ECU was able to get offensive putbacks. That was the difference in the game.
"There wasn't anything tactical or strategic. Anything we should have done or didn't do. It's just scrambling and getting one more loose ball, getting one more rebound. Those are the little things that add up and spell victory if we convert them."
2:03 p.m.
When you get a second chance in life, take advantage of it. The East Carolina Pirates certainly did in their 68-66 first-round victory over Rice. The Owls outshot ECU from the field 52 percent to 42.6 percent. But the Pirates outrebounded Rice 37-30 and, most importantly, managed 20 second-chance points compared to only two for the Owls.
Rice had the ball with an opportunity to force overtime in the final seconds, but Lucas Kuipers missed a mid-range jumper. It's a tough loss for the Owls, who played well enough to win, and an impressive performance by the Pirates, who struggled with their shooting for much of the game but made key shots when it mattered the most.
1:39 p.m.
Two notable individual performances for Rice with four minutes to play: Arsalan Kazemi is two points away from recording the 44th double-double of his career, and Dylan Ennis needs one more assist to tie his career record of 11. As a team, the Owls are shooting 54 percent from the field (to 41.1 percent for ECU).
Despite all these impressive stats for Rice, East Carolina continues to hang in there, trailing 63-60 thanks in large part to 10 made 3-pointers.
1:25 p.m.
Rice and East Carolina are tied 48-48 midway through the second half even though the Owls continue to make more than 50 percent of their shots from the field (51.2) while ECU is shooting closer to 40 percent.
But the Pirates have a substantial advantage in two important categories. They have scored 14 points off Rice turnovers, while the Owls have managed only 4; and ECU has 14 second-chance points to just 2 for Rice.
12:57 p.m.
We're at halftime of the first game of the day, and it's a good one. Rice leads East Carolina 33-32, thanks largely to the Owls' 51.7 shooting percentage from the field (compared to 39.4 percent for ECU). Arsalan Kazemi is leading the way for Rice with eight points, nine rebounds and two steals. Paris Campbell has come off the bench to score nine points for ECU.
One of the reasons the Pirates have kept it close is they have taken care of the ball, committing only two turnovers through the first 20 minutes. Rice, meanwhile, has turned the ball over eight times.
Even though this is the early-bird game of the day, the play has been crisp and clean. The teams have been whistled for a combined total of only seven fouls. That should allow both teams to be aggressive in the second half, setting up what likely will be an exciting finish.
12:46 p.m.
Southern Miss head coach Larry Eustachy was surprised when it was announced this morning that he was being honored as the Gene Bartow Coach of the Year. Not so much because he was being recognized following the Golden Eagles' 24-7 season, but because the award had been renamed in honor of Bartow, the longtime head basketball coach and athletic director at UAB who passed away in January.
"I didn't know it was the Gene Bartow Award. That means a lot more to me, because Coach Bartow was a very, very good friend," Eustachy said. "He tried to get me to buy his condo out in Palm Desert about eight times. He was a special person, so that's quite an honor."
USM's 24 victories are the most in team history as a Division I program. The Golden Eagles finished second in the C-USA standings with an 11-5 record, tying the 2001 USM team for the best regular-season showing as a member of C-USA.
"You don't win something like this without character players and a great staff," Eustachy said. "We have great players and the best staff in the country. It's been a lot of fun. I've really enjoyed this season."
12:23 p.m.
Memphis guard Will Barton might be one of the skinniest players in Conference USA, but he certainly has put up some fat numbers this season. As a result, it was announced this morning that Barton has been named the Conference USA Player of the Year.
Not only did the 6-foot-6, 175-pound sophomore lead C-USA in scoring this season with an average of 18.7 points per game but he also was sixth in rebounding at 8.1 per game, making him the only guard in the league ranked in the top 10 in rebounding.
"It's all about heart and wanting it more than anyone else," Barton said. "People always underestimate me because I'm so slender. But nobody is going to bang and go after it harder than I do. I take pride in that all the time.
"I've always been skinny, and people have always doubted me because of my size. That's one of the things that drives me and makes me play hard. I was never considered a phenom or the next big thing. I was just a kid who loves playing basketball."
Barton also finished the regular season ranked fourth in C-USA in steals (48), seventh in field-goal percentage (52.5) and 13th in assists (2.9 per game).
"I feel like I can do a lot of things, whether it's scoring or rebounding or dishing out assists," Barton said. "I just want to go out there and play hard and give it my all. I think the best attribute of my game is competing and wanting to win. And when you want to win, you'll do whatever you have to do to get the W."
4:19 p.m.
There's an old saying that "its calmest before the storm."
I can't help but think of that phrase as I sit here courtside and watch Marshall's practice. Second-year Thundering Herd head coach Tom Herrion stands calmly at center court watching his players shoot at both ends of the floor not saying a word. But, at this time tomorrow, the fury will be unleashed. If you are in the FedExForum on Wednesday afternoon (and why wouldn't you be?) you MUST watch Coach Herrion's sideline demeanor during the Herd's 2:30 p.m. matchup with SMU. Take a good look at the jacket that Herrion is wearing when the game starts. Chances are, you won't see it very long after tip-off. Few coaches coach with the energy level that Herrion exudes during a game. For the fan, it is entertaining and even exhausting to watch.
By the way, Marshall has never lost to SMU, going 7-0 all-time. The most dramatic of those wins came four years ago in Huntington on a long buzzer-beater by Markell Humphrey. "It was 74 feet, one inch," according to Marshall play by play announcer Steve Cotton.
3:33 p.m.
The Rice Owls have taken to the practice floor at FedExForum and that means Mr. Double-Double is in the house.
Rice junior forward Arsalan Kazemi is one of two players in C-USA to average a double-double this season and heads into this week's conference tournament averaging 12.5 points and 10.3 rebounds.
Last week, Kazemi set a Conference USA career double-double record with a 12-point, 11-rebound performance in the Owls' 68-61 road win at UTEP. With his 43rd career double-double, he broke the former record established by Memphis' Kelly Wise (1998-2002).
His 16 double-doubles this season place him in the top 10 of all Division I players and all of those double-doubles have helped the Owls post their largest total of league wins as a member of C-USA and their highest overall win total since 2004-05.
2:22 p.m.
UTEP is on the floor scrimmaging in what has been the fastest-paced practice so far today. Head coach Tim Floyd has been very vocal in leading the team in its final preparations for Houston.
The Miners are a much different team than the one that played in last year's Tournament Championship Game. Seven freshmen and two JUCO transfers help compile the UTEP roster.
UTEP has enjoyed success in the FedExForum lately, winning its last two meetings against the home-standing Memphis Tigers, including a 60-58 victory on Feb. 18. Another win on this floor tomorrow and the Miners will get an opportunity to make it three in a row vs. the Tigers on Thursday.
1:29 p.m.
Who is the only school to defeat Memphis in the Conference USA Championship in the last six years? The Houston Cougars, who are on the floor now practicing. The Coogs upset the Tigers in the quarterfinals in 2010 in Tulsa, en route to Houston's surprising tournament championship as the No. 7 seed.
Houston may get the opportunity to make it two in a row over Memphis at the C-USA Championship, but first they will have to get past the UTEP Miners, a team it has now faced in four of the last five C-USA Tournaments. In fact, the Miners are the team that the Coogs defeated in the 2010 Championship game to earn an NCAA bid. But, UTEP downed Houston last year in El Paso.
The Cougars enter the tournament as a No. 9 seed for the first time ever, as a member of C-USA or even in its old Southwest Conference days. More importantly for Houston fans, the Coogs come in having won four of their last five and playing some of its best basketball this season.
11:33 a.m.
Greetings from Memphis! We are back in the Bluff City for the eighth time in Conference USA's 17 years for the men's basketball championship.
Currently, the second practice of the day is underway and the SMU Mustangs are on the floor preparing for their game against Marshall tomorrow.
We will have some entries on the blog today, but we will really get going when the games start tomorrow. We encourage you to follow along with the blog all week long. Veteran C-USA correspondent Cary Estes will be doing the majority of the reporting, but I will also be adding some thoughts and perhaps even some insight along the way. I'm excited to get it it going...for the 17th year in a row.

Florida Panthers: Garrison recalled from Rochester
If you didn't see it in my earlier blog, defenseman Jason Garrison has been called up from AHL Rochester to replace Jordan Leopold, who was traded today to the Penguins, in the top six. …
A few other tidbits from today:
***Center Stephen Weiss told me he's "100 percent" healthy now after being bothered by a nagging lower body injury for the final few weeks before the Olympic break.
***Nathan Horton skated again before practice, working with assistant coach Mike Kitchen. Horton started skating on his own on Thursday, rested Friday and Saturday, and returned to the ice Sunday. He didn't travel with the team to Atlanta and won't play Wednesday at home against Philadelphia, though Saturday's game remains a possibility. I think the game after that, March 9 in Minnesota, is when he'll return.
***DeBoer said Dmitry Kulikov will get increased minutes with Leopold's departure and he's ready to take those on. DeBoer added, "It's sad to see [Leopold] go, but it's someone else's opportunity to give us some minutes and help us out."

Some couples engage in arguments regularly whereas others refuse to engage in any behavior that might lead to conflict. Regardless of where your relationship stands on that spectrum of conflict frequency, arguments are a normal and expected part of a relationship. Arguing with each other is not a sign of an unhealthy relationship on its own. When the arguments become repetitive with no new insight or when they hurt one or both partners regularly, that is when the health of the relationship begins to weaken. More →

South Asian Couples: What is Your Conflict Resolution Style?
June 3, 2011 · 3 Comments
Numerous research studies have identified three basic conflict management styles that are commonly seen in couples: avoidant, volatile and validating. Most important for the satisfaction and health of the relationship is having a matching conflict management style with your partner. That way, both of you have the same expectations of how disagreements will be resolved.
About 30% of couples say that their partner has a different conflict resolution style than their own, with the actual number probably being higher than that. More →

South Asian Relationships: Six Steps To Prevent Arguments
May 11, 2011 · 1 Comment
Having a conversation about a difficult topic can bring up a lot of anxiety in both partners. If there is already a history of difficult conversations ending in argument, partners get into a cycle of avoiding sensitive topics, creating a ticking time bomb in their relationship.
Arguments are a natural part of all relationships. But if they occur too often or include unhealthy aspects, relationships suffer. Here is a step by step guide on how to address sensitive topics and avoid them turning into heated fights. More →

The Story of a South Asian Couple: why they fight the way they do
October 29, 2010 · 3 Comments
After 2 years of marital stress, Sagar and Purvi decided it was time they needed to sit down and figure out what exactly the source of their relationship issues was.
Quickly, they identified the negative communication pattern that they found themselves in. When one of them felt criticized, they reacted with contempt, which made the other feel defensive until one of them (most often Purvi) became so overwhelmed with emotion that she disengaged from the argument. The pattern had become so ingrained in the way that they argued that they didn't realize there were healthier ways of arguing. More →

Tips to Talk to a Passive-Aggressive Partner
September 24, 2010 · 1 Comment
Once you have acknowledged that your spouse is being passive-aggressive and have become better at identifying the instances when they are exhibiting such hurtful behaviors, you have two choices on what to do:
First, you can choose to stay quiet. By not confronting your spouse, you will avoid the cyclical pattern of sulking, withdrawing and further passive-aggressive behaviors that are a result of their difficulty or inability to hear even reasonable complaints from you. This may reduce stress in the short-term and may also help avoid getting into a negative communication pattern that will escalate into a fight. More →

How Else Can I Tell if My Partner is Passive-Aggressive?
September 22, 2010 · 2 Comments
Passive-aggressive behavior, like all other behavior that can negatively affect a relationship, lies on a continuum. We have all engaged in behavior that has hurt our relationship in one way or the other. Perhaps we've criticized when we really should have watched our words more carefully, or we've become defensive or passive-aggressive behaviors at one point, perhaps when we were feeling extremely upset or like our words don't seem very important to our partners.

South Asian Relationships: Minimizing the Problem
September 13, 2010 · 4 Comments
One can say that one of the strengths of South Asian culture is the value placed on taking care of other's needs and placing collective happiness over individual happiness. This can lead to a strong feeling of togetherness, accountability to others in your life and high group cohesion.
However, this strength is a double-edge sword, especially when it comes to relationships because this need for collective or group harmony can also function to minimize problems in the marriage.
Minimizing is outwardly dampening one's emotional reaction to an event while inwardly feeling the full effects of that emotion. It is on the same spectrum as being in denial about the problem. Here is an example** to illustrate how minimizing occurs: More →

Virginia Bakery Refuses to Serve Biden
'Crumb and Get It' owner angered over "you didn't build that"
So Joe Biden walks into a small town bakery and tries to order some pastries…
It sounds like the start of a cheap joke at a Washington DC happy hour. But it's a true story funnier than any joke you'll hear on Capitol Hill.
Chris McMurray and his wife, owners of Crumb and Get It in Radford, Va, told the VP and his entourage to take a hike, acting in response to President Obama taking ownership of their entrepreneurial efforts.
Hey Mr. Vice President! Who baked this cake?! Who made these linzer tarts?! Chris McMurray did! Not you! Oh, you want some black and white cookies?! Here's directions to someone else's bakery!
I love the scones on this guy. He kind of reminds me of a kinder, gentler, more southern version of the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. If he doesn't feel like serving you, you're not getting served. No amount of flattery is going to change it. Many a lesser man would have served Joe Biden all of the truffles his heart desired. But not Chris McMurray. Not at Crumb and Get It.
Here's Bill Kristol's not so subtle advice to the Republican party.

Should I use the 32 bit version of Ubuntu instead? I have installed it to a USB drive and I see on there where I can install it WITH my current OS but will this work with Win 8?

Academic Interests
Dr. Ray's research focuses on digital literacy and the rhetoric of technology and how technology is appropriated and problematized in the context of culture. In looking at the intersection, he frequently questions how cultural universals get strongly implicated in the design of the technology and frustrates the appropriation and the experience of the technology. Toward this end, he argues for designing information and developing interfaces that are culturally situated and contingent. He further looks at how the term "literacy" can be redefined and rearticulated in the everyday use of the Internet and computer technologies (ICTs) by negotiating the strategic space, which the user is typically presented with, through various tactical moves that are mostly user supplied. Continuing his interest in space as a catalyst of change, Ray is also interested in debating how culture as a social practice and individual activity inflected by ICTs has shifted from the geography of it to a geometric representation— a movement from "place" to "space."

"Using chicken fingers in this recipe makes for the perfect size taco and also cuts down on prep time," writes Kathy Williams of Layton, Utah. "I like to pair it with Spanish rice and refried beans for a complete meal for two!"

- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 4 chicken tenderloins
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

"What a great idea. This is so simple and my 13 YO granddaughter loves chicken fingers and tacos. Using frozen prepared chicken fingers made for a quick meal."

"AMAZING! My husband requests that this be made at least once a week...I use egg whites from a carton to make it lower fat, and some cajun seasonings for the breading to make it spicy : ) I gave this recipe to a friend and her family begs her to make it all the time too!!!"

Game 1 of Round 2 of the 2014 NBA Playoffs featuring Thunder vs. Clippers will air on live TV tonight from Oklahoma City, according to a May 5 NBA.com report. This game will be available on TV throughout the U.S., and if you are unable to catch it on the boob tube, then you can watch it via live stream video on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other streaming media device.
The Thunder finally beat the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 7 with a score of 120-109 after a hard-fought series. The, there are the Clippers, who also had a hard-fought series against the Golden State Warriors as well as some incredibly negative press with their owner during Round 1 of the 2014 NBA Playoffs. Both teams have not had much time to prepare and transition to Round 2, but rest assured these professional basketball players will pull it off. This is what NBA playoff basketball is.
Throughout the regular season the Thunder and Clippers split their series 2-2, which means that this should be yet another fabulous series from the Western Conference. The matchup of the Thunder's Russell Westbrook and the Clippers' Chris Paul should be a great one to watch. Meanwhile, former OU Sooner Blake Griffin and Serge Ibaka will also be an interesting matchup throughout this series.
This series is expected to go to seven games as well, and OKC will have a tough time using a smaller lineup against the Clippers' larger lineup, which could ultimately cause a problem. Of course, in franchise history, the Clippers have never appeared in a conference finals series. Will this be their year, or will MVP Kevin Durant and the Thunder end up going all the way? Many people feel this is the year for the Thunder.
Tune into Thunder vs. Clippers at 9:30 p.m. EDT on TNT. If you are unable to watch on live TV, you can catch the live stream video on TNT Overtime.

Having lived in Spain for many years, I´m still amazed to discover that I don´t know it all! Spain is a vast country and several languages are spoken here as well as Spanish bringing more culture to the land. Along with it´s colourful history and traditions it certainly has alot to offer. Here are 7 recommendations that spring to mind to encourage you to step away from the Irish pubs and the cheap sangria on the costas!
- If you need to unwind head off to the Balearic Islands. I had a great time when I spent a month living on a motorboat in Formentera , it honestly felt like being in the Carribean rather than in Europe. There are many Italians there in Summertime, particularly in the main resorts. The conservation of the island has been well adminstered, there is no airports, you can only get there by boat. The limited number of hotels on the island also ensures it´s not crowded. You can find places on the island which are hardly visited. I loved the natural mud baths that you can find around the island. Another good option for families is Menorca I had a great beach holiday at the Cala´n Forcat not too far from Ciutadella, which has many small calas (bays) around and rocky overhangs and ledges that make private terraces to sunbathe on. A quiet place to see the beautiful colours of the sea. There are many areas to find on Menorca (and Mallorca for that matter) with a natural environment and not at all built up.
- If you prefer Quaint villages rather than islands then I would recommend the rugged coastline of the Costa Brava , there are so many great places to go around there. An Inland village with more rural vibe, such as one of my personal favourite Begur , especially out of season. Also the city of Girona (picture below) itself has a special romatic feel with the river and the old buildings around the city. Also on the coast there are fantastic options such as Cadaques, Roses, Pals, Calella, Tamariu or L´Escala which is famous for it´s anchovies.
- If your thing is priding yourself as a culture vulture I have to recommend Cordoba the wonderfully conserved Mezquita in the centre of the city is beautifully built with columns bought from other buildings in Europe at the time of construction. The Medina Azahara site just outside of Cordoba will make any history buff happy, a great archaelogical site to visit. In Seville there are many beautiful buildings and monuments to visit, pictured below is the Golden Tower (Torre de Oro) but of course there is the Giralda belltower and the wonderful Plaza de España too mention a just a few.
- If you are a shopaholic I would advise you to head to the city of Barcelona there you can find many high end stores along the Paseo de Gracia or on Diagonal (where it crosses with Balmes or Tuset) There are also other stores in the Born and Raval districts with upcoming designers. If you want discounted prices take a day trip to La Roca Village outlet, the bus leaves from Sants bus station. This outlet is great for reduced priced labels such as Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger etc. You´ll need around 3 hours or so to see it all. Once a year I treat myself to a cosmetics day out in Marbella usually I head to the huge El Corte Inglés there, In Marbella I´ll spend the afternoon seeing what´s new from the different cosmetics brands, trying perfumes and getting a few free samples, I also check out a few of the boutiques in the old town. Maybe pop to the Hard Rock Café Marbella which is opposite, then I get the reall really feel like a Towie star!
- If you love Art Spain has some great galleries & museums, I´d recommened Madrid for the Reina Sofia, the Prado Museum & the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza. The Prado usually has huge queues but it is really worth the wait there is so much to see. My highlight was seeing the Monet temporary exhibition a few years ago, seeing the Waterlilies huge in a clean white room with space was great. Mustn´t miss the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao & in Andalusia head to Malaga to see the Picasso Museum.
- If Adventure and outdoors is your thing, you can try the Camino de Santiago (St James Way in English ) in Northern Spain. This is a 769 km route (depending on which you choose) and you can do all of it, or just a part of it. Another great destination is the Catalan Pyreenes for hiking and other outdoor activities. You can try National Parks in Spain, popular ones for outdoor activities are Sierra de Cazorla in Jaen or Donaña National Park which is know for birdwatching particularly.
- You adore Spanish Food then come to Spain, in Galicia and Asturias you can have wonderful Pintxos (pictured below) and great seafood, in Valencia and the Alicante area taste delicious Paellas and rice dishes and in all the bars in the city of Granada enjoy FREE tapas with your drinks. Wherever you travel in Spain it´s not difficult to find yummy food on offer, actually I think it´s one of the best things about living here. The variety of food on offer and the different foods from different regions of the country.
This is not an exhaustive list, it´s not a ranking of importance either, It´s my idea of some places that maybe aren´t the first things that spring to mind when planning travel in Spain!

Site MDS02: Camp Roosevelt
Elevation: 1304 ft. Camp Roosevelt is a pilgrimage of sorts for the wildlife watcher. It was here, in these few acres, where the first Civilian Conservation Corps camp was set up, beginning the greatest single conservation movement in history. The CCC was an initiative of President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression. His inspired vision of protecting natural resources saved many men from the ravages of unemployment and starvation. The CCC built most of the recreation areas throughout western Virginia, not to mention the roads that lead to them. Camp Roosevelt is now a recreation area and the remains of the CCC camp are just a few moss-covered foundations and towering chimneys yet to crumble. As you wander the woods around Camp Roosevelt scanning over the remnants of a by-gone era, listen for Carolina wrens and red-eyed vireos. Admire the bronzing leaves of the sassafras and its distinctive aroma, or watch a black swallowtail as it flutters on and off a big bull thistle trying to extract a few drops of energy. In the distance listen to the far carrying call of pileated woodpeckers as they traverse acres upon acres of forest set aside for them and for us.
From Rude's Hill, return to Rt. 730 and head east 0.1 miles to US 11. Turn left and go 0.2 miles north on US 11 to Rt. 730. Turn right on Rt. 730 and travel 8.7 miles to the intersection of Rt. 675. Continue straight ahead 0.2 miles to the recreation area on the left.

Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker
Apr. 9, 1843
Chester County
Pennsylvania, USA
Sep. 2, 1916
Montgomery County
Pennsylvania, USA
Governor of Pennsylvania. A member of the Republican Party, he served as Pennsylvania's 23rd governor for one term from January 1903 to January 1907. The son of a doctor, he received his education at the Grovemont Seminary at Phoenixville and at the West Philadelphia Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Shortly before the Battle of Gettysburg of the American Civil War, he enlisted as a private in Company F of the 26th Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia. He fought in the skirmish at Witmer Farm, north of Gettysburg on June 26, 1863, an action that saw his newly recruited regiment retreat to Harrisburg when confronted by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's veteran Virginia cavalry. He left the emergency militia in late July 1863 and resumed his education. After studying law at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, he was admitted to the bar and opened his own law practice in 1866. In 1868 he was elected president of the Law Academy of Philadelphia. From 1876 until 1888 he served as the reporter-in-chief for the Court of Common Pleas No. 3. In 1889 he was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas No. 2 and was elected for two terms of 10 years each, acting for several years (1896-1902) as president judge of that court. In 1902 he ran for governor on the Republican ticket and defeated the Democratic challenger Robert Pattison, who was seeking a third nonconsecutive term as governor. During his term in office he signed into law the Child Labor Act of 1905, setting a minimum age and standard for young workers. He also passed the Salus-Grady Bill, or the Newspaper Libel Act of 1903 that immediately drew vicious attacks in the press (The law was repealed in 1907 after he left office.). He created the Pennsylvania State Police and the State Museum, and oversaw the completion of the new state capitol building. In 1906 he vetoed what would have been the first compulsory sterilization law in the US. Upon leaving office, he opened a law office in Philadelphia. A keen interest in history, he became president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and wrote extensively. He was also a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania and held positions of honor in various German and Netherlandish societies. Among his publications was a history of the Phoenixville area, "Annals of Phoenixville and Its Vicinity: From the Settlement to the Year 1871." In 1915 he was appointed chairman of the Public Service Commission of Pennsylvania and held it until his death. He died at the age of 73. Pennypacker Hall at the Pennsylvania State University Park campus is named in his honor.

A Cedartown man is now facing additional sexual abuse charges after his arrest yesterday on warrants charging him with sodomy, aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery.
Elree Cox Jr., 68, was arrested twice last week on charges of child molestation, sexual battery, first degree cruelty to children, manufacturing marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and possession of cocaine.
Cox was taken into custody yesterday on the additional charges resulting from the ongoing investigation. He remains in custody with no bond set at the time of this publication.
According to Georgia law, a person commits the offense of sodomy when he or she performs or submits to any sexual act involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another.
A person commits the offense of aggravated sodomy when he or she commits sodomy with force and against the will of the other person or when he or she commits sodomy with a person who is less than ten years of age.
A person commits the offense of aggravated sexual battery when he or she intentionally penetrates with a foreign object the sexual organ or anus of another person without the consent of that person.
This article does not reflect the actual guilt or innocence of the individual listed. All parties are presumed innocent until they are proven guilty in a court of law. Not every arrest or charge leads to a conviction. A conviction or an acquittal will be determined by the court system.

What is the most simple MTA to use and configure on Debian 6 squeeze, with dkim filters?
I would like to only send mail from it, not receive. Google apps handles my inbound email.
closed as off-topic by masegaloeh, Ward, mdpc, Katherine Villyard, Sven♦ Jan 17 '15 at 9:37
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Postfix and Opendkim is quite simple to set up.
You probably want SMTP auth too, but that is also very simple with postfix.
Alternatively, exim 4.72, as packaged for Debian Squeeze, has DKIM support built in. It's not quite as straightforward to configure as Postfix, but if you use the Debian 'split config', it's fairly understandable, and the recently revamped documentation is good.

Freshman Joy Jason won the 100 breaststroke and finished second in the 200 breast, posting career-best times in both events, during Saturday's meet against Vanderbilt.
Nov. 2, 2013
Final Stats |
Video Interview With Coach Robinson
Complete Meet Results IN PDF Format
NEW ORLEANS - Sophomore Mia Schachter won the 100 freestyle, the freshmen tandem of Joy Jason and Jonna Frantz came in first in the 100 breaststroke and 50 freestyle, respectively, and sophomore diver Lauren Arnold emerged victorious in the one- and three-meter springboard, but it was not enough as the Tulane swimming and diving team dropped a 166-122 decision to Vanderbilt on Saturday in the Reily Student Recreation Center Natatorium.
The Green Wave posted five career-best performances among 19 season-best outings in the contest against the Commodores. Vanderbilt, however, won 10 of the 14 swimming events to post its first-ever win over Tulane. In defeat, the Green Wave fall to 2-3 on the year and are now 4-1 against Vanderbilt (1-2) all time.
"I thought we swam alright today," first-year Tulane head coach Katie Robinson said. "There were some standouts in my mind and then there were a few setbacks as well. I was telling the team that we can learn a lot from failures. We're going to take some time to look back and see what we can do better so that we continue to move forward as a program."
Joy's 1:04.07 in the 100 breast was a career-best as well as the No. 4 individual and No. 8 overall time in Tulane history. She also led the Green Wave with a season-best 2:20.53 in the 200 breast to finish second. That time is the No. 2 individual time and the No. 3 overall mark in the Tulane record book. Frantz won the 50 free with a time of 24.57 while Schachter did so in the 100 free at 52.75.
Arnold, meanwhile, posted a 279.60 to win the one-meter springboard - her second NCAA Zone qualifying score of the fall semester - while scoring a career-best 278.10 at the three-meter elevation. Her three-meter score is ranks second individually and third overall in the Tulane record book while here one-meter mark ranks third overall.
Not to be left out, sophomore Maren Kjell scored a career-best 249.45 in the one-meter springboard - a mark that is the No. 3 individual score and the No. 7 overall score in Tulane history. Her 250.87 in the three-meter is the No. 9 overall mark in the Green Wave annals.
The quartet of sophomore Elizabeth Cook, Jason, freshman Ellis Sills and Schachter led Tulane in the 200 medley with a season-best 1:47.25 to finish second, as did the unit of freshman Jonna Frantz, junior Amy Needham, Cook and Schachter in the 200 free relay with a season-best 1:38.44. Sophomore Rachel Schneider clocked a season-best 5:07.43 to lead the Wave in the 500 free for a second-place finish, and sophomore Holly Grender logged a career-best 1:57.39 to pace Tulane in the 200 free to come in fourth overall.
Sills paced the Wave in the 200 IM and 100 fly with a 2:12.13 and 57.91 to finish second and third in the events, respectively, and Schneider posted a second-place finish in the 1000 free at 10:26.08. Cook led the Tulane effort in the 100 back and 200 fly with third-place finishes and respective times of 58.99 and 2:08.77.
Tulane returns to action on Nov. 21, when the Green Wave open play in the Phill Hansel UH Cougar Classic, in Houston, Texas. The three-day event - which follows NCAA Championship format - will conclude on Nov. 23 and will be the Green Wave's final contest of the fall semester.

Grammys Fashion Trends - Cutout Dresses & Long Locks
This entry was posted on February 13, 2013.
Hello Lockettes, were you able to watch the Grammys this past Sunday? What were your thoughts? Our eyes were locked to the screen as we watched Ri Ri walk the red carpet in her red hot Azzedine Alaia dress. Not only did she sizzle, but her long tresses and hair extensions also stole the show. There were many other fashionistas that looked dazzling as well and before we dive into what we loved, we couldn't help but notice that two trends occupied the red carpet that night: cutout dresses and long flowing locks!
Taylor Swift embraced the night and looked gorgeous while wearing her sexy white J. Mendel gown. The beautiful dress was accented with silver cutouts that showed off her back. She definitely embraced a more grown up look as opposed to her normal vintage vibe and also was one of the main participants of showing off the cutout dress trend.
If you're wondering who else showed off a cutout trend, it was none other than Alicia Keys! Alicia took our breath away as she walked in confidence down the red carpet in a stunning black Alaia dress. This dress had bold cutouts that created a dominatrix-like bodice, and it also provided us a quick glance of her back and abs! After glimpsing her abs, we decided that only is she in shape, but of course she looked absolutely gorgeous as well. Paired with her slicked-back tresses and bold red lipstick, Alicia was certainly a "Girl On Fire" !
Beyond the cutout dress trend, we couldn't help but notice that many songstresses decided to wear their long tresses down, which we felt was a beautiful choice. Why wear your hair up just because you're in a fancy dress? The ladies of the night proved that glittery and formal frocks most definitely can go with elegant flowing locks. We definitely approve!
Miranda Lambert arrived in a Roberto Cavalli red carpet gown while wearing her hair down. One side of her hair was clipped back while the rest flowed gently down her back. The side that was clipped back showed off her large sparkly earrings; great choice! The curls were sensational and she positively glowed in her black dress - we definitely approved of Miranda's Grammys ensemble!
Rihanna's long ombre locks looked fantastic paired next to her red hot dress. We're not sure if it was Chris Brown who made her look so happy or the fact that she was there at the Grammys looking more beautiful than ever! Whatever the case may be, her long ombre hair looked gorgeous. To get Rihanna's long tresses and her look, try our Wavy Colored Indian Hair Extensions. You'll achieve Ri Ri's beautiful curls in an instant and plus you can also can dye your hair ombre. Just be sure to go to a trained hair stylist who can help you get the look!
Many others wore their hair long, such as Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift during her fun Alice in Wonderland themed performance. They all looked gorgeous and we're glad they weren't afraid to wear their hair down.
So which was your favorite trend or fashionable moment of the evening? Do you like updos or long tresses? We loved it all! ;)

Elkhart County Hispanics motoring growth here while the non-Hispanic white population holds steady
The Latino population increased by 82.9 percent from 2000 to 2013, while the white non-Hispanic segment went up by 0.08 percent.
Monday July 28, 2014
If not for Hispanics, Elkhart County's population would have stayed relatively flat.
That's one of the big takeaways from the U.S. Census Bureau numbers I crunched for a story on a new YWCA program geared to Hispanic women in Elkhart County (look here).
Related Stories

- Latino influence overstated?
- Elkhart immigrants excited, skeptical at talk of immigration reform
- Nationally funded study will look at mental health of Latino children in Elkhart
- Goshen couple pushing for Latin American culture center
Latinos motoring overall growth: As is, Latino growth helped push the estimated 2013 population here to 200,563, up from 182,791 in 2000. If not for that growth, the head count would have increased to just 187,057.
White, non-Hispanic growth stagnant: The Latino population here grew from 16,300 in 2000 to 29,806 in 2013, an 82.9 percent increase. By comparison, growth of the white, non-Hispanic segment went up by just 0.08 percent, from 152,850 to 152,972.
Dating to 1990, Hispanics accounted for 60.6 percent of the county's overall population growth through 2013. Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 18.6 percent of growth. Dating back to just 2000, Hispanics accounted for 76 percent of the growth here while non-Hispanic whites accounted for 0.7 percent of the increase.
Increasing diversity: Hispanics now account for 14.9 percent of the population while non-Hispanic whites account for 76.3 percent of the total. In 1990, Hispanics represented 1.9 percent of the population and non-Hispanic whites accounted for 92.6 percent of the total.
- Scroll down for graphics showing the evolving demographics of the county's population.
Growth of the Hispanic population has augmented the debate, here and across the nation, over immigration reform. But pinning down the number of undocumented immigrants here locally is tough business.
Here's what I could find:
Foreign-born population: The estimated foreign-born population here, excluding naturalized citizens, totaled 13,050, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2010-2012. The 13,050 figure would include undocumented immigrants, but also legal permanent residents and others here with proper immigration papers, complicating efforts to pin down the population of people here without proper permission.
In 1990, the foreign-born population totaled 3,314.
Latin America is the chief source: Of the 13,050 foreign-born, non-citizens here, 10,819 came from Latin America. Again, the 10,819 figure would include legal permanent residents and others here with proper permission, in addition to undocumented immigrants.
As for the origin of those with Latin American backgrounds, citizens or otherwise, Mexico is the predominant country.
Of the 28,064 Latinos here per the 2008-2012 American Community Survey, 23,079 of them, 82.2 percent of the total, had roots in Mexico. Another 2,583 had ties to Central America, including 1,450 to Honduras, 837 to El Salvador and 235 to Guatemala.
Another 1,287 were of Puerto Rican descent and 224 had ancestral roots in Cuba.
Look here for a graphic representation of Elkhart County's evolving demographics:

"You start backward if you live together before getting married. I think you should start with being friends, not with intimacy first. that's not what marriage is about, anyway. It's about friendship and wanting to be one, wanting to know everything about each other and to help each other. If you both feel that way, it's smooth sailing. Selfishness is the problem."
Michael Blosil left behind a suicide note. Blosil had reportedly suffered depression. Michael was the second child adopted by Marie. In one of these more recent pictures, Michael is the middle age child standing in the front with the stripped vest sweater.
