Android: Bad Piggies
iTunes: Bad Piggies
PC: Bad Piggies
Developer: Rovio
Genre: Physics/Puzzle
FlashMush Reviews Rating: 9/10
Rovio is back yet again trying to semi-diversify from Angry Birds this time with a game from the Pigs' point of view. Bad Piggies is the name and it is all about the pigs building contraptions to steal some eggs!
The idea is actually quite interesting and features a unique control scheme. Basically for each level you are given various parts to build some contraption, could be a flying contraption with balloons or some type of rolling car vehicle. You are shown a grid and you click and place the parts into those grids to make what you want to make. There are some slight physics based principles you do have to take into consideration but you get the hang of them as you go. Items you have at your disposal range from balloons for flight, coke bottles for thrust, fans for continuous thrust, plus general wheels and boxes for form. The goal of course is to create a vehicle or something which can reach the end of the level. There are secondary and tertiary goals to get full stars which vary depending on the level.
Level wise Bad Piggies keeps up with Angry Birds fashion and features really cool looking and playable levels. Bad Piggies also features so far two level packs and a sandbox mode which is an excellent addition. The only real issue I have with Bad Piggies is their "tutorial" system is a joke. They just throw you into gameplay with a fairly heavy physics based game with no explanations on anything. The only explanations they give is in the form of Ikea like ciphers which can be quite confusing.

CHEERS: to the staff at Medina County Job and Family Services, which is working to meet increasing needs for food stamps and other benefits in the face of staff and budget cuts that make providing services more difficult. The agency continues to reach out and help where it is needed, recently announcing it will offer two free tax preparation clinics for those who qualify.
CHIDINGS: to General Motors Corp. and major banks for increasing the amount they spend to lobby the government, even as they were taking in billions from the federal financial rescue program. A member of a watchdog group said "there's a smell†to companies receiving taxpayer support at the same time they are pressing the government for more money and less oversight.
CHEERS: to Highland High School for becoming the first school in Ohio to host the Robofest robotics competition, a national program to help children in grades five through 12 learn science, technology, engineering and math through the construction of robots. Highland will host the fifth- to eighth-grade division, open to teams from area schools, on March 7. Winners will be invited to a world championship competition in May.
CHIDINGS: to pollution from Indian pharmaceutical factories that turn waterways into virtual medicine cabinets flowing with chemicals, which are then unwittingly consumed by India's poor through fish and drinking water. According to researchers, half the drugs they found — used to treat everything from heart disease to depression — measured at the highest levels of pharmaceuticals ever detected in the environment.
CHEERS: to Medina Township's Helen Stephenson, who will celebrate her 100th birthday in April, and continues to share her knowledge of Ohio people and history. She recently gave a presentation on Longaberger Basket Company founder David Longaberger at Western Reserve Masonic Community. Another of Stephenson's previous talks featured two of her former second-grade students — astronaut and former U.S. Senator John Glenn and his wife, Annie.

Though African Americans are less likely to develop Parkinson's disease than other races, they do have greater disability and disease severity, and are less likely to be prescribed medication.
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!
Muhammad Ali is perhaps the most high-profile person to battle the condition, which could have been caused from repeated blows to the head. But it doesn't require a boxing career or other forms of head trauma to develop the disease.
Studies show that African Americans may be more likely to be undiagnosed. Cultural and educational differences may prevent patients from seeking appropriate care, particularly at early stages, when symptoms are not yet disabling. One study showed that African Americans more than Whites may see parkinsonian symptoms as an inevitable part of aging and dementia more as a natural result of living a difficult life.
Parkinson's disease creeps up slowly, starting with mild symptoms that are easy to ignore at first. Here's what doctors look for:
1. Slow movement and clumsiness. If it takes longer than usual to button a shirt, make a phone call, or do any task that requires hand coordination — and there's no other obvious explanation for it – it could be an early sign of Parkinson's. This slowness of movement is known as bradykinesia. As the disease progresses, Parkinson's disease patients may find themselves momentarily "freezing" like a statue while walking or turning, unable to take the next step.
2. Hand and leg shaking. About 70 to 80 percent of Parkinson's disease patients have a "resting tremor" in the hands, arms, legs, jaw, or face. The shakiness occurs when, say, the patient rests her hand relaxed in her lap, as opposed to when moving to pour a cup of tea. The trembling could make it look as if she's rolling a pill between her thumb and forefinger.

Physical description
- The gray wolf being the largest member of the Canid family stands 26 to 38 inches at the shoulder and has a length of 40 to 58 inches from the head to the base of the tail. The tail can be as long as 20 inches but are usually no shorter than 13 inches. The male is generally 15 to 20 percent larger than the female.
Their weight can vary in the North American wolves ranging from as low as 40 to as great as 175 pounds. The average weight is in the range of 60 to 100 pounds.
The skull of the wolf is large and long and tapers forward, averaging nine to eleven inches long and five to six inches wide. Massive jaws form the foundation to which the strong masseter, or chewing, muscles attach. Wolves survive by using their legs and their teeth. The wolf is a coursing predator, so its eyes are on the front of its skull. The ears are large to capture sounds and they can be moved to scan and focus on sounds from different directions. The jaws have canines, sharp carnassials for cutting meat, and molars for crushing bone with very strong jaw muscles. All these characteristics are reflected in the skull.
Wolves tend to increase in size from south to north generally following the Bergmann's rule of increased body size from south to north. (However, the wolves in the high Arctic are an exception to the rule, and are smaller than those found in Northern Alaska and Canada.)
Of 169 nuisance wolves (those causing damage to property or livestock) killed in Alberta between 1972 and 1979, the average weight of the wolves was 99 pounds.
In general, the wolf looks like its distant cousin the dog with the exception of longer legs and larger paws. One major difference anatomically speaking is a pre-caudal gland on the upper surface of the tail, a feature totally absent in all domestic dogs.
The gray wolf has a broad face, which often has a broader appearance due to the ruff of fur below its ears. Their eyes are usually a golden-yellow color, and shine a greenish-orange at night.
A wolf's body is built for travel. It's chest is narrow to allow it to push off more easily, especially through deep snow.
The coat of the wolf tends to be very thick and fluffy, especially in the northern regions where it gets colder in the winter, as compared to their southern counterparts which tend to be more sparse. The wolf has a double coat of fur and actually has three capes. Long guard hairs on top, which can be as long as four inches, work like an umbrella to help shed moisture like a raincoat. Their underfur keeps the wolf warm in the cold months and the wolf sheds the undercoat in the summer. This is particularly useful in locations such as the Mexican desert where the wolf can withstand temperatures from -60 degrees to 115 degrees. That's a difference of 175 degrees! Thick winter coats are grown in the fall, which tend to add 1/3 to their bulk. They slowly shed their thick winter coats slowly in the spring. The females generally lose their coats more slowly than their male counterparts. The wolf's mask is made to draw attention to the eyes since eye contact is so important with the wolf. The way the fur falls around the eyes accents the eyes, making them look much larger than they are.
- Wolves' fur is many different colors. In 1944, Stanley Young wrote "The color of the North American wolves… varies greatly, so much so that it is relatively unimportant for the scientific description of the wolves." Even a wolf that generally appears gray really has a coat of many colors. White, black, gray, and brown hairs are intermingled, with darker fur usually predominating along the center of the back and tail. The wolf's underside, legs, ears, and muzzle are often tawny. Very old wolves tend to be grayer than younger ones. The colors of a wolf's fur can make it hard to see in its natural habitat. The colors of the fur may blend in with background colors in the habitat and cause a wolf to "disappear." Wolves that spend a lot of time in dark forests often have dark fur. In places where the plants are many different colors, the fur of the wolves is often many different colors. The ears are also highlighted to be seen against a dark or light background. The edge of the wolf's ears are usually highlighted for contrast against dark, and the inside of the wolf's ears are dark for contrast against light. It is also fairly common to have variations in color in one litter. Colors can range from pure white to all black.
- The jaws of a wolf are very powerful. They are twice as strong as a German Shepherds' jaw, exerting pressure as much as 1,500 lbs per square inch according to Barry Lopez in Of Wolves and Men.
Out of the wolf's forty-two teeth, forty help the wolf in securing its prey. The configuration of teeth in a wolfs' mouth is as follows: The upper jaw has 6 incisors, 2 canines, 8 premolars, and 4 molars. While the bottom jaw has 6 incisors, 2 canines, 8 premolars, and 6 molars.
The incisors at the front of the jaw are used to cut the flesh of their prey. The largest teeth are the canines, or fangs, which may reach two and a quarter inches in total length, including the portion imbedded in the jaw, pierce into the flesh to hold their prey. The premolars and molars are used for slicing and grinding the food. The last premolars in the upper jaw and first molars in the lower jaw, also know as the carnassials, are designed especially to slice and shear the flesh. The last molars are used for grinding and pulverizing the food prior to digestion.
- Wolves make four types of sounds: howl, bark, whimper, and growl. Howling is the most familiar wolf vocalization to everyone. When wolves howl together they harmonize, rather than howl the same note, creating an impression of more animals howling than actually are. Wolves don't need to stand to howl. They can howl lying down or sitting. Apparently, wolves howl to assemble the pack, especially before and after the hunt; to pass on an alarm, especially at the den site; to locate each other in a storm or in unfamiliar territory; and to communicate across great distances. There is no evidence that wolves howl at the moon, or more frequently during a full moon. Wolves only infrequently bark, and it is a quiet "woof" more often than a dog-type bark. They do not bark continuously like dogs but woof a few times and then retreat, as for example when a stranger approaches the den. Barks reported from the field are associated with a pack's being surprised at its den and an animal, usually the female, rising to bark a warning. Growling is heard during food challenges and, like the bark, is part of threat behavior or an assertion of rights in some social context. Growling is more common among pups when they're playing. Pups also growl when they jerk at the ruff of a reclining adult, and comically will even try to growl adults off a piece of food. Another type of growl is a high-pitched one that begins to sound like a whine and often precedes a snapping lunge at another wolf. Perhaps the most interesting sounds are the whines and high-pitched social squeaks associated with greeting, feeding the pups, play, pen pacing and other situations of anxiety, curiosity, and inquiry. They are the sounds of intimacy.
Wolf Senses
- It has been stated that the wolf possesses sharper vision, hearing, and smell than the domestic dog. Most wolf biologists agree that the most acute of the wolf senses is that of smell.
- The wolf's sense of smell is about 100 times better than a human's. It uses its sense of smell more than anything else to find prey, with the ability to smell prey before it can see it, more than a mile away if the wind is right. A wolf's nose can smell things that your nose can't. Like your nose, the inside of a wolf's nose contains moist surfaces that "catch" smells in the air, however the area receptive to smell in a wolf nose is 14 times greater than that of a human. The wolf's nose has about five times more surface area than yours does, so it can catch more smells from the air than you can. It can even sense the presence of an animal three days after it's gone! The nose itself is not five times larger than a human nose. For all the extra smelling surface to fit inside, it must be wrapped and folded many times. An experiment was performed at one time with covered trays of food to test the relative senses of smell between wolves and dogs. What required only five minutes for the wolves to determine which tray contained food took domestic dogs over an hour to discover.
- The sense of smell is probably the most acute sense the wolf has next to hearing. It is believed that the upper range of a wolfs' hearing is upwards of 80 kHz. The upper range of humans is only 20 kHz. It is stated that a wolf can hear up to 6 miles away in forest and 10 miles in open areas, including some high-pitched sounds that even a human can't hear, in the range where bats and porpoises produce sound. Even when it sleeps, a wolf's ears stand straight up so it can catch sounds made by other animals at all times. This helps the wolf catch prey, and lets it know when danger is near. Their large, pointed ears act like big scoops to catch lots of sound. Unlike humans, wolves can easily tell what direction sound is coming from by turning their ears from side to side. The direction the ears are pointing when the sound is loudest tells the wolf which direction the sound is coming from, which can help them locate rodents under a snow pack.
- The wolf relies on its sense of hearing as well as smell more so than sight. Their vision is comparable to that of humans. The wolfs eyes lacks a foveal pit. A depression at the back of the eyeball. This is what is used to focus at greater distances. It is believed that they can not distinguish much beyond 100 to 150 feet. This is possibly one reason why the wolf mask accents their facial features and ears so greatly. Their myopia evidently stems from the absence of the fovea centralis, the tiny pit at the back, center of the retina which, in humans, primates and some other animals provides the point of sharpest vision. Just how clearly a wolf sees when looking directly at an object is, of course, impossible to know, but it seems evident that beyond a short distance their vision must be somewhat blurred, rather like that of a photograph taken with a wide-open lens at a slow shutter speed, as opposed to an exposure taken with the smallest lens aperture at a fast speed. Nevertheless, wolves can see shapes and, especially, movement over long distances, and their peripheral vision is extremely accurate. They are able to detect even the slightest movements of very small animals, such as a mosquito, at a distance of more than ten feet and the movement of larger animals at considerable distances. There is some controversy as to whether wolves see in color or black and white. Regardless, it is unlikely that they see the various hues of the spectrum as humans see them, because the physical makeup of the eye is different. Nighttime vision for wolves is many times better than human vision in the day or night. Wolves can actually see much better and even much more clearly at night. The eyes of the wolf are like most predators, with a sight-field of nearly 180 degrees and pointed forward.
- Although it is very difficult to test for taste due to the fact that smell plays a major role in tasting it is known that canines possess taste receptors for 4 categories: salty, bitter, sweet, and acidic.
- Wolf tracks consist of 4 pad prints plus claws, very similar to that of a domestic dog. Their front paws can be up to 5 1/4″ long and 3¾ to 4½ inches in width. There are five toes on a wolf's front paws and only four on the rear paws. The fifth on the front is called a dew claw. The dew claw is not for hunting or protection however, it does aid the wolf in digging dens as well as going after small prey animals that live in burrows. The back feet are slightly smaller and are usually about 3¾ long and 3¼ in width. Thick, rugged, and blocky when the toes are together, the foot can also sprawl, allowing the toes to grasp rocks, logs, and other uneven or steep surfaces. When walking, the wolf holds its foot in the blocky fashion, reducing area and friction. However, during tricky maneuvering, the toes can spread far apart, much increasing the surface and friction. Tales of wolf prints being the size of pie plates is totally unrealistic. When tracks are left in soft media such as sand or mud they will appear to be larger than usual. When left in snow and the snow melts they appear to be very huge. In order to walk better in the snow, one wolf will make the initial trail and all other wolves will follow by stepping in the original footprints. Wolves run on their toes, this lengthens their legs and makes it possible for them to run faster – up to 40 miles per hour, in fact. The gait of a wolf is between 25 and 38 inches.

Cabrini College is a vital and distinctive element of the international educational ministry of the Roman Catholic Church and the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
As a Roman Catholic institution, Cabrini College affirms that God's love, expressed in the relationship among Creator, Redeemer, and Spirit, invites all people to form vibrant, caring communities.
The College manifests this belief by:
respecting the dignity of the human person as created in the image and likeness of God
celebrating liturgy and participating in the Sacraments
respecting the beliefs of those members of other religions and spiritual traditions and inviting them to share the gifts they bring to the community
providing a liberal arts education rich in values and offering opportunities for spiritual, intellectual, and ethical growth
demonstrating leadership in service to the community
standing in solidarity with those who are poor, forgotten, and oppressed
participating in the creation and development of societal structures that are humane, just and respectful of the rights and dignity of the human person
Inspired by the example of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, who dedicated her life to making the love of Jesus visible in the world, we, as a college community, continually strive to make this vision of Catholic identity a reality throughout the living and learning environment of the College.

It's two days since patch 5.3 hit our greedy little computer hands. Needless to say after the first day of bugs and fixes made its way through the system it was a success.
The new heroic scenarios definitely become a challenge at first. The same with the new regular scenarios and added heroic quests. It will take a couple of weeks before most of these will become much easier.
The content itself, including the horde changes (no spoilers) were pretty good. My biggest concern is the burnout factor that some of these will entail. It took less than a month before the 'new' content of 5.2 became another grindfest. With patch 5.3 not having as much new content as 5.2 contained, there is a high chance that the wow factor will disappear quickly and everyone will be back to the wondering what's next.
PVP still has to shake itself out with the queueing issues for healers. Also with the removal of one of the new battlegrounds of the random rotation a sure fire hit became a swing and a miss in a moments notice.
Still this patch will mature in the next couple of weeks which will help. I was glad to see the upgrades to items returned. Many players were running out of places to use their Valor points unless they were heavily into raiding. Now there is a good funnel for extra valor points once a player has geared their toon.
Auction House has been doing well. As always riding a wave of new shining items that people want immediately. I was happy with the short investments I did in ore and in higher end crafting items for quick flips. It's still early in the wave so this weekend will tell just how successful my gold goblin senses were.
Between now and the weekend I will be searching for players unloading their materials onto the open market. Some players will be underwhelmed with the new content and look to leave the game. So grabbing a good deal will become just as important as killing that latest mob.
Keep your head above the water.

Heat 104, Kings 83
Observations from Saturday's 104-83 victory over the Kings at Arco Arena:
- Been there, seen that, routed them. It's almost a case of piling on right now, with this the Heat's eighth consecutive double-digit victory. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were watching a rerun of Friday's victory at Golden State.
- Dwyane Wade pulled the Heat back into the game in the second quarter and LeBron James again helped finish it off at the end of the third. These third quarters are getting frightening.
- But don't sell Chris Bosh short in this one. He powered the Heat's dominance on the boards, closing with 14 points and 17 rebounds.
- Another charge taken by James Jones, who in the first quarter moved ahead of Udonis Haslem for team lead with 11. Somewhere, U.D. is falling, trying to pull back even.
- It opened with a Carlos Arroyo alley-oop to James to open the scoring. No, it was not what the Kings were looking for. It got a lot tougher for James after that.
- It was another of those nights where Mario Chalmers seemingly gave back all he provided.
- The back-to-back showed with Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
- Jim Gray (yes, that Jim Gray) was in the building, doing Kings sideline reporting. But there was no Decision II. The Kings were denied a LeBron on-air interview.
- Gray, instead, interviewed LeBron in the Heat locker room as part of pregame media scrum, asking the first six questions. LeBron never mentioned his talents. Odd, odd moment.
- Bill Walton, who contributes to Kings telecasts this season, asked Erik Spoelstra in the pregame, "If the Lakers don't turn things around quickly, do you expect a coaching change?" Spoelstra, smiling, replied "What else?", seeking the next question.
- Heckling fans to Jim Gray: "What about Pete Rose?" Gray: "You're in a time warp. That's about 20 years ago."
- Spoelstra said the jeers for James during introductions are somewhat amusing. "By the time we get to the second half," Spoelstra said, "the crowd changes."
- As for the jeering in general, Spoelstra said, "I think guys genuinely like coming into arenas where it's us against the world."
- Spoelstra said he accepts "heat check" jumpers by his stars as part of the game. "Those guys are rhythm players," Spoelstra said.
- There was no specific word of the day on the Heat pregame strategy board, but the first item read, "Exclamation point," as the Heat tried to close out an undefeated trip.

Retinal Detachment
Symptoms and Signs
Feeling of a shadow or a curtain coming in any part of the vision is an indicator of retinal detachment.
Flashes of light and floaters may be the initial symptoms of retinal detachment. The patient experiences streaks of light in the periphery of his visual field. He is often able to tell distinctly the quadrant of visual field that is affected. The precise reason of this symptom is the pull of the vitreous over the retina which irritates the visual cells giving an impression of flashes of light.
Floaters are disturbing dark spots that keep moving in front of the patients eyes. They may be due to vitreous condensation due to its degeneration or when associated with flashes are usually due to a small bleed in the vitreous due to a tear in the retina.
Feeling of a shadow or a curtain coming in any part of the vision is an indicator of retinal detachment. The patient should immediately see an eye doctor. The faster it is treated the better is the visual prognosis.
On examination the doctor finds reduced visual acuity if the central retina is detached or a field defect if the peripheral retina is detached. After dilatation of the pupil, the detached retina can directly be seen by the examining doctor with the help of some lenses. Indirect ophthalmoscopy is a very useful means of examination to find out the cause of the detachment. It helps in appropriate management.

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed he has a near-fully fit squad to select from for Thursday's Europa League clash with Udinese – but admits he may shuffle his pack for the visit of the Italian side.
Jose Enrique is closing in on a return to action from a knee complaint, though Martin Kelly and Lucas Leiva remain on the sidelines.
However, despite the majority of his players operating at full fitness, Rodgers admits he may follow a similar policy to the one that has served him well in the tournament so far this term and make changes from the team that hit Norwich City for five on Saturday - though he insists senior players will be involved in his plans.
The boss told a pre-match press conference at Anfield: "We're fine. We're pretty much the same as we were at the weekend. The boys that are bit longer-term like Lucas Leiva are still working well.
"There's nothing new from the weekend. Jose Enrique is back out on the pitches running. Apart from that, everyone is good and the condition of the team is good. We'll look forward to tomorrow night.
"I'll assess that [Enrique's injury] nearer the weekend [to see if he can be involved]."
Rodgers has confirmed he is now able to call upon the services of Joe Cole after the playmaker marked his return to action with a goal for Liverpool's U21s on Monday.
He added: "His attitude is superb and Joe really thinks he can contribute to the group, which is great. He's been unfortunate. He's been out and came back a couple of times, but didn't quite really get through fitness wise.
"He was out for eight weeks, trained for a couple of weeks, had his first game, scored a good goal and now he is fit. He's back into training now and looking to fight for a place in the squad.
"He loves his football, Joe, and he's now fit enough to fight for his position in the group."
Rodgers was also keen to pay tribute to the 'warrior mentality' of Daniel Agger after the Dane revealed he is playing with some slight discomfort in his knee after picking up an injury against Manchester United recently.
"He didn't train all last week - he's got a little bit of pain in there," explained the manager. "He played in the game down at Norwich and did very, very well. He's recovered well now and it's just a management process with Daniel.
"I came into the club and looked closely at his injury record. He's a player who needs managing. He's a good guy and has worked well this week and will be available for the next couple of games.
"He's a real warrior. I am very fortunate here that I have got a group that has that real warrior mentality and he is one of those guys."
Asked by Italian journalists if the likes of Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez will be involved, Rodgers added: "I will do what I've done in most of the games and I will have a look at the group.
"I always look at each game and pick a group and team to win it. Udinese will be a very strong team, they've got some excellent players and have had some excellent results this season so far - they've beaten AC Milan and are unbeaten in their last five games.
"We need to ensure we have a group that is strong enough to win the game, but those players [Gerrard and Suarez] will be involved."

Engineers are truly confused as to how the USB cable that shocked Trinity Anderson could have caused such damage with such a low voltage. An engineer investigated the family's home to determine if other factors were in play, which it appears now that they are.
Trinity remains in the hospital in critical condition, but is beginning to show signs of recovery. Her family is hoping to find out what the cause of the injury is, but continue to urge parents to shut off this type of electronic equipment when not in use so that other children aren't injured as well.

On Feb. 13, 2014, Examiner.com was honored to interview three actresses who shared about their love for acting and their recent film shoot experiences. The talented young ladies, who reside in Fort Myers, Fla., were Cassidy Reyes, 16, Shivani Patel, 16, and Pooja Patel (mother Vaishali), 10.
Working in the entertainment industry, or wanting to, is not new to Reyes or the Patels. However this was the first experience for all three to work together as actors on a film set. The short film was shot over the weekend of Feb. 8-9.
The film "Casting," produced by the United Film & Television Artists (UFTA), had been in the planning stages for years, back when these three young ladies were toddlers!
In early 2013, however, the film became more realistic when UFTA President Al Quinn, the writer, the director of photography and other crew came on board. By spring 2013 the cast was chosen, and these young actresses were part of it.
Due to many re-writes with the film's script, the cast had to be patient. Nowadays film festivals (FMff) require a different amount of time allotted for films, so the writer, knowing the film would be submitted to such fests, was waiting to find out what time frame she had to work with.
After a time frame was established, and other details were ironed out, rehearsals began. By early 2014 the film was ready to shoot, and these actresses were ready as well!
Cassidy Reyes (Cassie Reynolds in film), had this to say about acting and the film.
"I first realized I wanted to be part of the entertainment industry when I was very young. By the time I was 13 I realized that acting was what I was born to do. I am a member of the United Film & Television Artists (UFTA), and it is through UFTA that I learned about this film. I'm so glad that I did. Oh, my dad's in this film too!"
When asked the same thing about acting and UFTA, the Patel cousins (Singh sisters in film) replied.
"I decided to be a member of UFTA to meet others in the entertainment business. Then this film happened, and I wanted to be part of it too. I'm so glad I was in the film!" - Shivani Patel
"My older cousin, Shivani, told me about UFTA and the movie. I even cast for it over Skype. My parents liked the idea of my having a movie role, and I did too. My part is Rani Singh. It's been fun acting on a film set. I can hardly wait to see it on the big screen!" - Pooja Patel
Thanks Cassidy, Shivani and Pooja for sharing with us. You must be looking forward to the film's premiere and future acting gigs.
Fans can learn more about these talented actresses at various links above. The film's main shoot location was Protocol Models on the Gulf. Also enjoy video on "Nicole Kidman at SAG Awards."

HP becomes a Linux Foundation platinum member
Takes a seat alongside IBM, Intel and Samsung
FLOGGER OF EXPENSIVE PRINTER INK HP has booked a seat at the Linux Foundation's top table by becoming a platinum member.
HP has been pushing Linux on its servers for a number of years and was previously a gold member of the Linux Foundation, the non-profit body that oversees Linux promotion. According to HP, its upgraded position in the Linux Foundation will help it maximise its investment in Linux.
Like every other major server vendor, HP has embraced Linux for some time and while the firm killed off the Linux based WebOS, it did open source the operating system, taking a leaf out of the Linux community's book.
Eileen Evans, VP and associate general counsel of Cloud Computing and Open Source at HP said, "Linux is a strategic asset for all major technology companies. With our Linux Foundation Platinum membership, we will have a variety of ways to maximize our investment in Linux and collaborative development that advances our own business as well as greater industry innovation."
The Linux Foundation said that becoming a platinum member will allow HP to have a seat on its board of directors alongside firms such as IBM, Intel, Oracle, Qualcomm and Samsung, and be directly involved in developing Linux, promoting events and supporting Linux's business goals.
Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation said, "Because of this history and innate knowledge of software development, HP understands that Linux and collaborative development can benefit its business across its product portfolio. We're looking forward to the work we can accomplish with HP."
It will be interesting to see if HP will use its position at the top of the Linux Foundation to promote Linux based operating systems on its consumer products after Microsoft stepped on its toes with the Surface tablet. µ

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State head football coach Dan Mullen holds his weekly press conference Monday afternoons in the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex. Free on-demand video of each week's press conference will be posted in the story rotation (main and football pages only) on HailState.com, along with an associated transcript.
Dan Mullen Press Conference Transcript - 11/11/13
"It's a great opportunity for us this week. Any time you have the opportunity to play the No. 1 team in the country, that's huge. There are only nine teams in the whole country that have had that opportunity so far this year. It's unique. You don't always get this chance, so it's fun for our guys.
"It's a great challenge. Alabama is a team that leads the nation in just about everything. I don't know that they have many weak spots. They've got a strong offense, a physical offensive line, one of the best offensive lines probably in the league or the country. They have two big-time running backs. They've got a fifth-year senior at quarterback who knows the system and is a competitor, winner, and can make all the plays they need him to make. They have great wideouts on the perimeter to throw it to. You look at last week and they rotate tight ends in. They bring one in and I just watched him run away from LSU's entire defense on one play. And then they bring in a bigger guy who is 6-foot-6, 310 pounds and is bigger than most of our offensive linemen.
"And they're more of a defensive team I guess, right? That's what they're always known for. So a great challenge on that side of the ball. They're deep. They have five-star players as backups. They have five-star players sitting on the bench not getting tons of reps. They have talent at every position.
"Statistically you look at what they've been able to do and it's pretty impressive on the defensive side of the ball. They had the one game where Johnny Manziel put up a bunch of points. He made a bunch of plays running around and improvising and put up a lot of yards. Despite that, they still lead the conference and are rated near top of the nation in just about every defensive category.
"But, a great challenge for us. They're averaging winning every game by around 31 points so we'll have our hands full. A unique opportunity and we're going to enjoy that and go out there and play with great effort for sixty minutes and see what we can do."
What is the difference planning for a Manziel and for a balanced offense?
"Well, it's very different. You have to make sure everybody takes a lot of ice baths this week. Last week we had to stretch out an awful lot and hydrate because we were going to be running around all over the place. This week you'd better get in that ice bath and get your body healthy, because they're going to pound away at you.
"Not that they don't have the talent to spread it out and throw it any time they want, with all the great receivers they have and the great fifth-year senior quarterback, a guy who wins. Just within their style it's going to be a much more physical game.
"What you do is you look at film of the guys and you make corrections within the general part of our defense. A lot of stuff from last week won't really apply to this week. You're going to see a very different style. A lot of it is much more in correcting some overall issues we have, and just changing the mindset for this style of offense you're going to play. We have to take our schemes and see how they applies to Alabama."
Talk about De'Runnya Wilson's emergence at receiver.
"He's done a good job. He's a guy who in training camp we thought made some plays and he has continued to develop. You look at it and he had some good matchups Saturday. It's tough because I think a lot of people look at statistics and say, 'Wow he had such a huge game. Where has he been?'
"Sometimes it's the matchups and the looks you get. He had some matchups on Saturday and we took advantage of them. You don't always get that.
"But the great thing is, you look at what he did when we had a good matchup and it was impressive. He went and made the play. That's what we need to do.
"We are very young at the receiver position. There's not a senior in their room. I mean coming into this season, we brought back 72 receptions from last year, out of 249 completed passes. It was a such a young group. It's great to see them develop. And develop as a whole. De'Runnya has done a good job of that, taking steps forward. But other guys have as well, too."
Has there been any discussion with Rick Ray of De'Runnya Wilson playing basketball lately?
"Not yet because it's football season still. When football ends, hopefully in January sometime, we'll make the transition with him getting ready to go into basketball and do that.
"Rick and I have a real good relationship so it's let's make the best way that we can get transitions to work and make sure we're taking care of De'Runnya. For both of us, that's the most important thing."
When did you realize in training camp the potential for Dak Prescott to overtake Tyler Russell?
"Well, during training camp we grade everything. Coming out of training camp there wasn't a huge separation in the grades, which is what you want. You like the opportunity to have two quarterbacks ready to play. As you can see from what we've had, you can get into a game situation like the other night when Dak gets banged-up. Tyler has played a bunch, he's into the flow of the game, he comes in and the second play bangs out a touchdown pass. He's ready to go at the drop of a hat.
"It's the same when Tyler starts the game for us and gets a bunch of reps early. Dak came in Saturday and the first play we score a touchdown. The guys are ready to go. When you can have that without a huge separation between the two, it's a pretty good safety net to have."
Is there an update on Prescott and Deontae Skinner?
"Deontae got a stinger. We didn't know until Wednesday afternoon right before practice that he wouldn't be able to play. We had to make some adjustments. Christian Holmes had to go back to linebacker with Ferlando Bohanna already being out. Dee Arrington is out for the season and he was kind of a bigger safety who could fill into that spot at linebacker. Christian actually did a good job Saturday.
"Dak is the same way. He got a stinger. They said he'll be questionable this week, but we'll probably know more Wednesday of his availability. He didn't practice yesterday, which at this point and time of year, anybody who plays over around 40 snaps really gets minimal work on a Sunday. It wasn't like he's in or out, or this is the time. We'll check three different times today where he's at, where he's progresssing. We'll check tomorrow and hopefully he'll be able to practice Wednesday."
What is your review of what is happening at the end of first halves?
"Unfortunately I guess every one is a different situation. I think for us it's the mindset of our guys. You can look at certain times during the game. We fell behind in that game Saturday, but when the team got together and talked, there was confidence. I think everybody on our sideline felt we were going to win that game, until time ran out. They felt we were going to find a way to come back and find a way to make plays to win that game.
"To me, it has to get to that same mindset, where we're going to find a way right now. When we get on that field, everybody there believes we're making this stop in this situation right now. And it's really just that simple.
"The big play Texas A&M hit was an out-and-up. We jumped the out. If he would have thrown the out, it might have been a big play. We could have had a pick-six and swung the momentum other way for us. But he threw the out-and-up.
"Those are things we have to do. I think it becomes a confidence factor. If it's one specific, one exact thing we're doing … it isn't. I think it's just the mindset of our guys, of the belief we are going to make this stop in this situation. That's the way it has to be."
How do you change that mindset?
"You have to talk about it. It's how you think. When you look at it, you have to say this is what is going to happen. I'll be honest with you. Earlier in the season we played LSU and fell behind by a couple of scores in the fourth quarter. I think doubt crept in our guys' minds. They may have thought, 'I don't know, maybe we can't make a comeback.'
"We've erased that doubt. I think you have seen that over the last several weeks with making stops in the fourth quarter on defense. And then the thought becomes, 'Hey, we've fallen behind. That's OK.'
"We scored more points in the fourth quarter last week than we had in a couple of games prior to that. That attitude of don't worry about it, we can find a way to do it is starting to be there, even though we haven't been doing it yet.
"I think if the team believes that's the direction we're headed, you will see the improvements with a lot of young players. Those guys then start to think, 'Hey, you know what, if there is a complete focus on doing this, everybody gets together, we're going to find a way to make it happen.' Not that we haven't focused on any of it before, but I think that jumps into our guys' minds. That mentality of, we can make it happen, we can find a way to get the job done."
Was punting the role Devon Bell was signed for?
"Originally we recruited him as a punt-kickoff guy. He did a really good job as a true freshman kicking field goals and kind of won that job. I think in the process of winning that job, he really took a step back as a punter. Now he's gotten into taking that step forward again as a punter.
"We chart everything throughout the week. When he started punting for us, in the weeks of practice he kind of had surpassed Baker [Swedenburg] all week in statistical numbers. We decided to make that decision.
"Devon's ability in the pooch-punts and pinning them inside the ten, that was something we saw earlier and something we wanted to take advantage of. It's something he just has a really good knack for. So that was something we were going to plan on using him all along in. And then just the rest of it he's really picked up his game."
How frustrating are special teams' issues? Is that on you more than anything?
"Well, everything is on me in this program, so I'm frustrated with just about everything that happens. The frustration for me, and I look at it with our team, is putting the complete game together when you have a lot of young guys.
"We've had some really good special teams games during the season. Saturday certainly wasn't one of them. There are other games where we've had some great defensive efforts, and then we've had some poor defensive efforts. We've had some really good offensive efforts and some poorer offensive efforts.
"It is putting everything together as a team and playing at a very, very high level. In this league, the type of schedules we play and type of schedule we're playing this year, you have to be on you're A-game. A B grade just won't cut it. A B will get you things around your neck on graduation day in college, but a B in the SEC football field is getting you a loss, which is a failure. It's an A or an F in the SEC. And that's us as a team, an entire team.
"It's obviously frustrating, because they were all things we can control. And give their kids credit, when they had opportunities to make plays they made some plays. We did some decent things in the return game, some punt returns. And had a couple of silly penalties. We did some good things in the kicking game. We pinned them inside the 15 on two punts. We had them inside the ten on a kickoff, or inside the 20 definitely on two to three kickoffs, and then you give up the big one. So there are the positive/negatives. It's putting the whole game together to me. You have to be on it for the entire sixty minutes."
You basically shut down Jadeveon Clowney, and barring one catch you did Mike Evans. How are you taking away the other team's best player, barring Manziel obviously?
"In both games I don't think we completely took them out games. Our focus was not how do we take guys out of a game completely. Our focus is more on how we limit what they do. If your plan is to take this guy completely out of a game, and they're great players [it may not be successful]. If Mike Evans still jumps up and makes a spectacular catch, there's not much you can do about it.
"And Clowney, I guess I lied when I said he's going to get his sack and he didn't. But it is where you put the focus on. We have a plan to help contain what they're going to do. Our focus is not to completely stop them, just to contain them.
"When you do that, the guys can play with a little more confidence. Because when the guy does make a big play they're not like, 'Oh our plan was to make nothing happen.' Our plan was to contain it as best we could.
"And it's hard for me to go yell at our defense because our goal against Texas A&M was to stop the run. We did. We held them under 100 yards rushing, which hasn't happened very much for them since Johnny Manziel has been there. So within our plan, they made a lot of plays. We looked at, I think, 50 percent of their third downs occurred after he started scrambling outside of the offense. Twenty five percent of their pass offense and 30 percent of their rushing yards were scrambles. Two of their touchdowns were scrambles and extended plays. That's something we knew going into the game. What happened we just have to be ready for and not let it impact the entire game. But obviously it ended up being a big part."
You've used Chris Jones at end, tackle, and last week over the ball. Is he impacting offenses?
"The thing I'm really proud of with Chris is that he's understanding as a freshman. He is making the plays, which is him doing his job. He doesn't have to get a sack for him to help be responsible for a sack. He doesn't need to be the one to make the tackle to result in a tackle.
"There's some maturity in understanding that, because guys want to make plays. I appreciate the fact he is very conscientious in fundamentals and trying to do it the right way. Now, he wants to make plays, but he's understanding that sometimes his job is to get double-teamed and somebody else makes the play. I appreciate that, for a freshman, he's really bought into that and really understands that. It's allowed us to give him flexibility, because he's not just trying to go out and do his own thing. He's trying to do his job within the scheme."
With Russell in the offense gets yards but isn't getting the points. Is there something you've noticed?
"I think part of it is when you get down in the red zone, when you shrink the field like that and there are more players in the box, the quarterback run game becomes a little more valuable. The threat of quarterback run becomes more valuable for you, especially in red zone situations."
"Tyler has done a decent job running the ball at times this year. He's a very different style runner, but a capable runner in doing things. So part of it is probably is our fault. When we get down in the red zone, we need to stick with it. Tyler can run it, too. He's fast in the open field, but the great thing with Tyler, he does have that toughness. He's not a guy who is going to shy away from contact. He is a tough, tough kid. So for us, I think we've got to do a better job of utilizing him in that role. It's stuff that he can still do."

Panthers Smithson preparing for season whenever it comes
Good offseason story on Panthers center Jerred Smithson in Vernon Morning Star
"I'm still learning and having to prove myself every year, which is a good thing," said Smithson, red-faced and dripping with sweat after a workout session with trainer Rhonda Catt at Vernon's Excel Fitness.
"It keeps me motivated and on my toes. It seems like every year I have to go in and earn my job. I'm not going to get complacent and I want to prove to people I can still play and be effective out there."
Once he got past the initial shock, Smithson realized he had landed in a decent organization.
"They've got a good hard-working team in Florida," he said. "Great leaders with guys that have been around the league a long time.
"With me being an older player, I still get to learn and watch some of these guys."
"They brought in some good quality players; guys that have been around, that care, and that want to win," said Smithson, who recorded two assists in 21 games (16 regular season, five postseason) with Florida after the trade.
Smithson, who rents a place in Florida with fiancée Jaymie Hackman, knows he will have to make the most of his main camp audition by showing he can complement his sound defensive game by becoming more of a two-way presence.
"I feel like I've got a lot to prove; maybe even more so this year than ever," he said. "I don't know what Florida has in the system with guys coming up, whereas in Nashville I had an idea.
"Being a contract year, too, I want go in and play my best."
On the possible lockout
"As a player, it's frustrating because the game's at a pretty good place right now if you look at how close teams are. When you get into playoffs, any team can win.
"There's other issues that need to be sorted out, but no one wants to miss time. Players, owners and even the arena staff and people working for the team – it affects more than just the players."

SEATTLE (AP) - David Lucas posted career highs with 14 points and eight rebounds in Oregon State's 80-72 victory over Washington Thursday night.
The Beavers outrebounded the Huskies 38-24, and it helped them top Washington for the seventh time in the teams' last eight meetings.
Washington (8-15, 3-11 Pacific-10) has lost five games in a row.
Lucas, a 6-foot-7 sophomore who is the son of former NBA and ABA standout Maurice Lucas, hit all five of his shots in the first half and was among five Beavers who finished with double figure scoring.
Oregon State's J.S. Nash scored 10 of his team-high 15 points in the second half. Philip Ricci joined Lucas with 14 points, Brian Jackson had 13 and Lamar Hurd added 10 for the Beavers (12-10, 5-8).
The Huskies were led by Will Conroy's 17 points. Nate Robinson scored 15 and dished out five assists, while Doug Wrenn added 10.
The Beavers' victory gives them a season sweep of the Huskies, as Oregon State topped Washington by 20 points at Gill Coliseum last month.
Washington grabbed an early 14-6 lead when Curtis Allen hit a 3-pointer with 13:03 to play in the half. The Beavers responded and outscored the Huskies 21-9 over the next 7˝ minutes -with Lucas scoring 10 points during the run.
After shooting 58.3 percent from the field in the first half, the Beavers held a 37-35 halftime advantage despite turning the ball over 11 times.

It's a blanket with arms.
Seriously who would ever need one of these? Well, I do!
I am always freezing in the weather center. Our "office" is in the studio, and in order to keep the equipment safe, the room is kept cool. No complaints from me, except, I am always cold.
Enter the Snuggie! A few of my other weather friends say it's the perfect solution to keep them warm in their studios. So, I bought one. To be honest, I was a little embarrassed when I picked it up. I was at a local Target, found a sales associate, and told a white lie that I was buying it for a friend. Would you really want to be associated with a Snuggie? It's a running joke. But, I fessed up and found a pretty neutral color. I figured that it would blend into the weather center a little more. I wanted to go all out and get the Zebra print, but I figured I'd go a little more subdued!
So here I am in my Snuggie. (Click the link!) I really do wear it when I'm preparing my forecast and graphics. The all Snuggie weather wall, isn't coming any time soon.
The box says one size fits all, um, not so much for me! I look more like a Stars War character… hmmm… Halloween is right around the corner! Maybe I could just turn it around!

When I saw the name of this I thought it would be a ponyfied version of the girl from Spirited Away. I guess I was wrong. It's still amazing though, good job!
very cute work c:
Unfamiliar with the blogs, but I'm reminded of the forerunner weapons from Halo 4 when I look at her cyber wing. Also a bit of a tron influence as well, I think. You did good here! Very nice mash up.
Wow, that... Looks a lot like her..
does she travel the world by the oceans?
Actually, she was inspired by red from Solatarobo.

There's little room for debate that MagicalTimeBean is among the top developers to have graced Microsoft's Xbox Live Indie Games platform with their work on the Soulcaster games, but Escape Goat took things to a whole new level. We don't love it just because the abbreviation of the game's title and our website's name match. The game's puzzles were intelligently designed — they were challenging enough that the solution required work to reach and the player always felt smart once they figured it out. Lucky for us then that the developer has revealed a sequel is coming.
Escape Goat 2 won't deviate from the formula that made the original game so enjoyable. You'll still be tasked with solving single-room puzzles with the help of the rat who wears a magic hat. There will be additional hats with new powers, however, which should open up the door to all sorts of new situations to put the player in. The graphics will also see an overhaul, with assets designed by Randy O'Connor of Walking Mars fame.
A level editor will be a part of the game, much like it was for the PC release of the original, though integrated sharing is currently a "maybe".
"This is yet to be decided, since something like this could delay the release by over a month," MagicalTimeBean's Ian Stocker told PC Gamer. "It's possible that it will be added after launch if I don't have time to get it into version 1.0. I'd really like something like this, because there are some amazing user-created levels for EG1, but I bet most players don't know where to find them (hint: my forum at magicaltimebean.com/forum)."
Escape Goat 2 will release at some point in 2013 on PC. Stocker told Extra Guy that it may end up working its way toward other platforms, but there are currently no plans to make this a reality. The game's roots as an XBLIG title make us hungry for a console version, but we'll have to just play the PC version in the meantime.

A Time of Confidence
The worst is behind us, but we need to work to make the future happen.
This was the key message behind "A Time of Confidence", HSBC's breakfast forum on business confidence. Held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel last November 9, the event drew 75 HSBC Business customers for a talk on what the future holds for the country, and what it takes to succeed in a shrinking world.
Mr. Tony Cripps, President and CEO of HSBC Philippines, opened the forum by noting optimistically that "60% of the market come from the developing markets", including the Philippines. And while domestic growth has been the highest since 1988, the international market holds much more opportunities for expansion. In this light, Mr. Cripps reinforced how HSBC's global network and 135 years of experience in the Philippines can help businesses tap the global landscape.
Renowned consultant Peter Wallace reiterated the notion that inter-Asian trade is increasing and how a more transparent government bodes well for future growth. He also enjoined Philippine businessmen to play to the strengths of the labor force, among them creativity and service, while leveraging on the rich resource base of the country.
International furniture designed Ken Cobonpue then discussed how he moved beyond the traditional business model of the furniture industry, branding his creations, establishing his own distribution network and targeting a broader international market while maintaining the distinct Philippine feel to his crafts. He also touched on how the global landscape is changing, where traditional markets like the US and Southern Europe have been softening in favor of emerging countries such as Brazil.
Mr. Manny Narciso, SVP and Head of HSBC Business, while highlighting that the US and China remain to be the top international business destinations, discusses the appeal of non-traditional countries like Vietnam. This is very critical to the Philippines, where there are products like snacks that can appeal to related Asian countries.
Mr. Junie Veloso, SVP and Head of Corporate Banking, summarized the optimism and vision for the future in his closing remarks, reiterating how HSBC is uniquely positioned to help our customers succeed both locally and internationally.

TV: Comcast SportsNet Chicago (7:05 p.m.) Play-by-Play: Kurt Pegler Color: Bob Morris
Follow on GameTracker Flame Throwers Illinois State Basketball
CHICAGO - The UIC men's basketball team will begin a stretch of three-consecutive games against in-state non-conference foes Saturday, when the Flames travel to Normal, Ill., to take on Illinois State. The game will tip-off from Redbird Arena at 7:05 p.m., and be televised by Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
#3 Robo Kreps, Sr., G
#23 Zavion Neely, Jr., G
#35 Brad Birton, Sr., F
#44 K.C. Robbins, Sr., C
Moore joined the Badgers staff in 2005 and helped lead them to the NCAA Tournament in each of his five seasons in Madison. The team advanced past the first round of the Big Dance in each of the last four seasons and produced a memorable Sweet 16 run in 2008.
With Moore on the bench, Wisconsin posted three of the top-five winningest seasons in school history, including a historic 2007-08 campaign that saw the Badgers win a school-record 31 games en route to Big Ten regular season and tournament championships.
Under Ryan's tutelage Moore established himself as one of the top recruiters in the Big Ten by utilizing the Chicagoland area as a main pipeline for talent.
Illinois State: Tim Jankovich is in his fourth season at the helm of the Illinois State men's basketball program. In each of his three seasons as head coach, the Redbirds have advanced to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) -- ISU also played in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Championship game in both 2008 and 2009.
During the 2007-08 season, the Redbirds equaled their highest win total in school history (25), and Jankovich posted the most victories by any Illinois State first-year head coach. The Redbirds opened the 2008-09 campaign with a school-record 14-straight wins, and went on to post a 24-10 overall record. Last season, Illinois State recorded its third-straight 20-win season, going 22-11.
Senior guard Robo Kreps is leading the Flames offensively, scoring 15.9 points per game -- he has also dished out a team-high 33 assists in his first full season running the point. Minnesota transfer, senior forward Paul Carter is averaging 14.4 points per game, while also leading the Flames in rebounding with 8.0 caroms per contest, third-best in the Horizon League. Kreps currently ranks fifth in the conference in scoring, while Carter ranks eighth.
Junior guard Zavion Neely, who scored 12.2 points per game as a sophomore last season, is averaging 10.0 points per contest, and has scored in double figures in two-of the last three games. Kreps (.433), senior Brad Birton (.463) and junior forward Darrin Williams (.488) all are shooting better than 40 percent from the field.
UIC is averaging 64.2 points per game, and allowing its opponents to score 66.0 points per contest. The Flames are out-rebounding their opponents by nearly a four-carom margin (+3.9), and are averaging 5.3 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, respectively. UIC currently ranks third in the Horizon League in both offensive rebounds (13.4 rpg) and assists per game (14.1).
Illinois State fields a balanced scoring attack, with eight players averaging at least five points per game. Senior guard Austin Hill's 11.3 points per contest lead the way, while sophomore forward Jackie Carmichael is scoring 11.2 points per outing.
Senior forward Tony Lewis is averaging 8.4 points to go along with a team-leading 8.6 rebounds per game. John Wilkins, a 6-foot-9 guard, has come off the bench in the last four games, and is scoring 7.8 points per outing.
The Redbirds currently rank third in the Missouri Valley Conference in scoring defense, allowing their opponents to score just 62.8 points per game. Illinois State also ranks second in the league in blocks (4.3 bpg), and third overall in steals per game (5.9).
QUOTING COACH MOORE: "Our guys came out with a sense of urgency, trying to get a little bit of redemption from Thursday's game (68-66 overtime loss against Valparaiso). We built a double-digit halftime lead again, and in the locker room, we talked about not letting our lead or intensity slip. In the second half, we lost some opportunities offensively, and we didn't execute the way we did in the first half. We allowed Akron to disrupt us, and get us out of our flow."
Zavion Neely led the Flames with 17 points, followed by 15 points apiece from Jeremy Buttell and Kreps. The Redbirds were led by Osiris Eldridge's 19 points -- he was joined in double figures by Dinma Odiakosa (15) and Alex Rubin (15). Illinois State held a six-point (34-28) halftime lead, and scored 21 points off UIC's 14 turnovers.
Howard Moore PRESENTED RICKY BYRDSONG AWARD
Carter is a versatile 6-8, 203-pound forward who played a key role as the Sixth Man for Minnesota head coach Tubby Smith the past two seasons, helping the Golden Gophers reach a pair of NCAA Tournament berths. With the Golden Gophers, Carter scored more than 300 points and corralled over 200 rebounds.
Carter transferred to UIC with one year of eligibility remaining to be near his sister, Bria, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, last winter. Since Carter joined the Flames, Bria has completed chemotherapy, received a temporary prosthetic leg after amputation, and started her high school career at King High School in Chicago this semester.
