The Series: Tonight's game is the fourth meeting of the two schools with
Last Meeting:
Against the ACC:
For Openers:
In November: Fast starts are the norm for the Cats under Lute Olson. Over the last 23 years,
Exhibition extrapolations: With two exhibition games under its belt,
That's a Good Sign: Points in any variety are a good sign for a team that averaged just 73.7 points per game last season, which was the lowest since the addition of the three-point field goal in 1986-87, and certainly
Shooting Straight: Lute Olson has steadfastly maintained that the 2006-07 edition of the Arizona Wildcats would be a much better shooting team than the previous squad, which posted the lowest field goal percentage in the Olson era at 44.6 percent. If the exhibitions are any kind of example, Olson will be correct. In the two games against outside competition, UA has connected on 54.2 percent (83-of-153) of its field goal attempts. Of the seven players to average at least five FGA per game, five are shooting better than 50 percent from the field. The team leaders in the exhibition games, freshmen Chase Budinger and Nic Wise, have combined to hit 64.6 percent (31-of-48) of their field goal attempts.
Behind the Arc:
A Measure of Improvement: After posting the first negative rebound margin (-0.3) last year for the first time since 1986, the Wildcats have done a better job of controlling the boards to date. During the exhibition season,
Forcing Turnovers: One thing that hasn't changed from last season is the ability to force turnovers.
Back At It: Sophomore forward Marcus Williams didn't miss a beat in returning from an ankle injury, as he tallied 25 points, four rebounds and six assists in 25 minutes against
Point Taken: Mustafa Shakur will take some gaudy numbers into the regular season, as the 6-foot-3 point guard has averaged 9.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 12.5 assists in the two exhibition game. In 54 total minutes played, the
Steady: Junior Daniel Dillon quietly continues to play his way into the regular rotation. Against
Efficient on the Wings: The duo of Chase Budinger and Jawann McClellan proved to be remarkably efficient against Victoria, combining to hit 11-of-13 field goals, including 7-of-8 from three-point range, to go with five rebounds, six assists and three steals. Budinger (20) and McClellan (13) managed to produce 33 total points from those 13 field goal attempts.
Don't Overlook Nic: Though he may be the smallest player on the court, don't count out the contributions of
Preseason Prognostications: According to media members that regularly cover the Pacific-10 Conference,
Preseason Kudos: Mustafa Shakur and Marcus Williams were named to the 2006-07 John R. Wooden Award Preseason All-America team, the award's national selection committee announced Oct. 17. Shakur, a 6-foot-3, senior guard from
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed five student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period.

The sign of Gemini is all about duality, two sides which make a whole, and without one, we cannot have the other. During this time, these sides become more obvious in both ourselves and our lives around us. New, major changes and life upheavals, of both good and difficult, have surfaced within the last day. Because of this, we may start to see ourselves nit-picking our deepest concerns, while riding in a cart of uncertainty as we do so, "Am I wrong to feel this way?" If we cannot find an answer to the questions that alternate with our feelings today, it's time to take a rest. All times are based in Austin, TX - CST.

Woman charged with perjury in domestic assault caseStaff Report | December 11,2012BENNINGTON — A Harwood Hill woman is facing a felony charge of perjury after an investigator with the Bennington County State's Attorney Office said she lied during a deposition about a man she had accused of domestic assault.
Heidi E. Gardner, 41, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on a felony count of perjury and a misdemeanor count of giving false information to police in order to implicate another person. Gardner pleaded innocent to the charges.
In an affidavit, Investigator Justin Niles said he was following up on the arrest of Floyd Amidon, 54, for domestic assault when he was notified on Oct. 31 that Gardner may have committed perjury during a deposition. In the deposition, taken on Oct. 29, Gardner said she had ended a relationship with Amidon on Aug. 17 and said that he had not been violent with her that day. She also denied telling a police dispatcher that Amidon choked her and prevented her from getting to the phone.
Niles said the recorded call to the Bennington police dispatcher indicated Gardner had reported an assault on Aug. 17 and told Niles a similar story on Aug. 30.
The affidavit said Amidon and Gardner discussed getting married and buying a home together during phone calls, which were recorded, made by Amidon from prison to Gardner between Oct. 10 and 27.
Gardner was released without bail on Monday but was ordered not to have contact with Amidon.MORE IN This Just InWATERBURY The Vermont State Police Marine Division is working with other agencies this weekend ...

Gohuskies.com: Have you watched Connecticut play this year?
Mike Jensen: "I have watched them play a couple of times this year. They are a good team, they have a lot of length. They have a good point guard in Marcus Williams, they are a real complete team. They are Huskies too, that is kind of a cool thing, two Husky teams going at it."
Gohuskies.com: What were you trying to do to Illinois on defense?
MJ: "I just went out there and I tired to bring some energy. I just guarded the penetrators, there are some determined and athletic guys out there. I just tried to play hard."
Gohuskies.com: Have you ever been to Washington DC before?
MJ: "I have family in Washington D.C., it is kind of a special place. My grandfather's side of the family is out there. I have a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles that live in Washington. They have tickets to the game and will be out there to support us."
Gohuskies.com: How has the experience of the tournament been thus far?
MJ: "It is good, it is real good. It is a good opportunity, not a lot of people get to do this. I am real happy, I am just going to try to enjoy this and go out there and have fun. The more that you win the further that you go, and you get different experiences. It is just a great time."
Gohuskies.com: What's it like reaching the Sweet Sixteen two years in a row?
MJ: "It's hard to explain in words. It has been a great feeling, it has been a great ride ever since I have been here, we have accomplished so much. To be back in the Sweet Sixteen for the second time and to be playing against a team like U Conn like this, you can't ask for much more."
Gohuskies.com: How's this year's experience compared last year?
MJ: "It is almost like we were happy about being in the sweet-16, and soon as we got there we came up short and it was one of those things it was kind of like a tough deal. You would kind of look in the locker-room and everyone is kind of quiet. Dang it's over. It is a feeling that we told our younger guys about, and it is not a good feeling to have. I think that when the time come, hopefully not any time soon, we will be alright."
Gohuskies.com: What do you remember about the last time UW played U Conn in the NCAA Tournament?
MJ: "That is when I started becoming a Husky fan and following Husky basketball a little bit. They were making that run in the NCAA tournament and they won their first game, and they were playing against U Conn in the Sweet Sixteen. I remember thinking that they were going to win and then all of a sudden Rip comes down and hit s that shot, I was like dang. I think the whole world of Seattle was like, uh. Everybody just sighed at the same time. It was a crazy game and its crazy to be in that situation again."
Gohuskies.com: How important is playing good defense to succeed in the NCAA tournament?
MJ: "Any time you can be successful or not be successful on offense, shots can fall or they won't fall. When you are hot it's great, it is great to go on runs. But, really if you hope to win anything in the NCAA tournament you are going to have to play defense and you are going to play hard defense. I think that we have bought into that."
Gohuskies.com: How has Brandon Roy influenced your game while at Washington?
MJ: "When he came here he was real quite, and he didn't really assert himself too much. As his role increased and he got more comfortable with us, we all kind of became brothers. We kind joke with each other and hang out with each other outside of basketball and stuff like that. You learn a lot from people, the people that you are around, you always take little bits and pieces of those people and you put them in your life. I think that I will always carry little bit of something of him, a little bit of something from everyone on this team with me. I just enjoy his company. A lot of people don't know but he is a big time jokester and he likes to have fun. He is always making me laugh, he is always getting me cracking up on the back of the bus and laughing when I shouldn't be laughing. I think the thing I will take the most from him is his sense of humor. He makes about Bobby. He is always joking about Bobby that is pretty much the funniest jokes that he has. They are always having a back and forth banter that is just kind of funny, about California and Washington this and that. Joking and fun is part of basketball, it is pretty much just having fun."
Gohuskies.com: Why doesn't Brandon Roy display his sense of humor on the court?
MJ: "He definitely could use his humor on the court, but he is one of those guys that us real humble and just lets his game speak for itself, and it is talking pretty loud right now."

Incontinence: What Is It?
Urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control, is a frustrating problem for millions of Americans. Never knowing when and where you might have an accident can affect everything from work to exercise to your social life. Urinary incontinence happens to both men and women but is more common in women. Studies show that at least half of older women may have some form of incontinence.
Stress Incontinence: Symptoms
The main symptom of incontinence is when you pee unexpectedly -- when and how depends on the type of incontinence. If you leak a bit when you laugh, cough, sneeze, jog, or lift something heavy, you may have stress incontinence. This is the most common bladder control problem in younger women.
Stress Incontinence: Causes
Stress incontinence happens when the muscles and tissue around the opening of the bladder get weak. When there is more pressure against the bladder and this opening does not stay closed, leakage happens. Pressure from coughing or laughing may be all it takes to leak urine. There are a few reasons why these muscles can lose strength.They may be stretched by weight gain, a sports injury, or pregnancies and vaginal childbirths.
Urge Incontinence: Symptoms
If you often have a desperate need to pee but can't get to the bathroom in time, you may have urge incontinence. The sudden urge can come from hearing the sound of running water or sipping a drink. Or there may not be any reason for it. With this type of incontinence, you may leak large amounts of urine. You may also find yourself running to the bathroom even when your bladder is mostly empty.
Urge Incontinence: Causes
A sudden, overwhelming need to pee might be caused by spasms of the bladder muscles. These spasms can come from nerve or muscle damage. In some cases, the damage might come from an illness like a stroke, or an infection or inflammation of the bladder.
Overactive Bladder
Overactive bladder is another name for urge incontinence. You get the same sudden, frequent need to pee. But not everyone with overactive bladder has incontinence. Many women are able to "hold it" until they get to the toilet. Instead of leaking urine, the big problem for them is constantly having to stop what they're doing to go to the bathroom.
Medications That Worsen Incontinence
There are several medicines that can cause incontinence or make it worse. In women, some high blood pressure medicines can relax the bladder muscles, leading to stress incontinence. Some types of antidepressants can make incontinence worse, although some may relieve the symptoms. And diuretics or "water pills" create more urine, which adds to the problem.
Emotional Toll of Incontinence
Incontinence is not dangerous, but it can wear you down. Research shows that women with incontinence have lower self-esteem, a less active sex life, and higher levels of depression compared to those with healthy bladders. You might want to stay home and hide, but it doesn't have to be that way. Incontinence can be managed or even reversed.
Diagnosing Incontinence
The first step is to find out exactly what kind of incontinence you have. Your health care provider will ask about your medical history and probably get for a urine sample to check for a urinary tract infection. He or she may ask you to stand and cough, a way to signal stress incontinence. You may also be asked to keep a diary showing how much you drink, how much you pee, and how often you leak.
Diagnosing Incontinence: Tests
There are several tests to help pinpoint the cause of incontinence. Ultrasound imagery can show how the bladder and urethra change when you pee or cough. A pad test shows how much urine you pass throughout the day. A bladder stress test helps check for stress incontinence. Cystometry measures bladder pressure and can help diagnose urge incontinence. An MRI scan (seen here) may show problems that can't be seen with other tests.
Managing Mild Incontinence
Many women with mild incontinence can stop leaks by drinking less. Try pouring your cups half-full, and stay away from coffee, tea, and sodas with caffeine. Caffeine can create more urine, making you go more often. Another strategy is to empty your bladder regularly, every two to four hours, whether you need to go or not.
Kegel Exercises
Because stress incontinence comes from weak pelvic muscles, consider trying to strengthen those muscles. You can do this with Kegel exercises: Clench the muscles you would use to stop the flow of urine. Hold the squeeze for 10 seconds, then relax. Do three or four sets every day. As these muscles get stronger, so will your bladder control.
Biofeedback is a method that gives you real-time information about activity in your bladder and pelvic muscles. As you learn more about these functions, you may be better able to control them. Biofeedback is often used in along with Kegel exercises.
When lifestyle adjustments don't help, you may need to talk to your doctor. If you have stress incontinence, a pessary may help. This is a device that can be put into the vagina to help cut down on the leakage. You can wear it continuously or only as needed, such as during a hard workout.
Bladder Training
Bladder training can be help with both stress incontinence and urge incontinence. The first step is to make a chart of what times you go to the bathroom and when you leak. After studying the patterns, you can avoid accidents by heading to the bathroom before a leak might happen. It's also possible to train your bladder to hold out for longer and longer periods between bathroom visits.
Medications for Incontinence
For urge incontinence, doctors often suggest anticholinergic medicines. These pills or patches block some of the nerves in the bladder muscle. Studies show that taking the meds with bladder training works well. Botox injections into the bladder muscle can relax the bladder, which allows it to hold more urine. Botox injections aren't permanent, but they can last up to eight or nine months in the bladder. They can be repeated, too.
Surgery for Incontinence
Surgery for stress incontinence can be an outpatient procedure. For urge incontinence, a doctor can implant a device that stimulates nerves near the bladder and controls spasms with electrical signals (shown here). For stress incontinence, doctors can place the bladder in a "sling" -- a piece of tissue or material that holds the bladder up and prevents leaks. Another procedure pulls the bladder up to a more normal position without a sling.
Incontinence Products
Urinary incontinence products like panty liners, adult diapers, and plastic-coated underwear might help, too. You can find products like these in drugstores or medical supply stores. Protective bedding, such as a plastic mattress protector, may also be useful.
Preventing Incontinence
There are ways to lower your risk of incontinence. Keep a healthy weight and do daily Kegel exercises. If you smoke, try to quit. Smoking can lead to chronic coughing, which can stress the bladder and cause leaks.

This morning, writer/producer Kevin Williamson (Scream, The Vampire Diaries) appeared at the TCA Press Tour on behalf of his terrifying new FOX series, The Following, and talked about the dark works of Poe and being inspired by Hannibal Lecter.
The Following, about an FBI Agent (Kevin Bacon) coming out of forced retirement to help stop a captured serial killer from controlling a legion of killers from behind bars, is one of the scariest, and bloodiest, network shows of all time. The killer here, Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), is obsessed with the romanticized death featured in the works of Edgar Allan Poe. And Williamson was more than happy to explain where the inspiration for this fixation came from.
"There was a period of time when I lived in Virginia for about a year, and my mom took me to Richmond," Williamson said. "And I guess Edgar Allan Poe had lived there for a brief period and there was a museum there, where his home was. And at one point, while walking through there, I remember they had The Raven written out on the wall in red, looking like blood everywhere. And they had it written along the wall so you could follow along and read it, and I remember that being the most magical day of my life. I went home home and my mom had bought me the collective works of Edgar Allan Poe and I started reading it. And then I got fascinated with his life story and how he was a very damaged writer."
James Purefoy as Joe Carroll in The Following.
But Poe wasn't the only fuel for the fire. "Clearly, Silence of the Lambs inspired me," Williamson added. "I was the guy who saw that movie multiple times. And read that book in a day. And then read it again the next day. I was completely inspired by that book. I thought it was amazing, and a very well-crafted piece of work. And when I was growing up, I'd watch the scary stuff. I also loved the cop shows. I'd watch Mannix with my dad. I just like the idea of the 'good guy vs. the bad guy.' It's just something that I gravitate toward in my storytelling. What I like about [The Following] is that it's an escalation. Here's this guy who's not only just this mad man – evil personified – but at his core is also a teacher. He's a professor. And a very good one. And he's found a way to get some of his students to do his bidding. That's the fun of the show. Watching, week to week, what he's up to and how is Ryan Hardy [Bacon's character] going to get ahead of it. Because the FBI is constantly chasing their tail for a while. Because they don't realize how insidious and how large or expansive it is. How wide the story is. And so the show is them starting to learn all of this, and then eventually getting ahead of it."
James Purefoy, who was also a part of the panel with the rest of the cast, then added a bit more, relating his character to Lambs' Dr. Lecter. "I've been thinking a lot about this and about Silence of the Lambs. As we shoot the show, more and more, I've started the realize how small Hannibal Lecter's vision was," Purefoy joked. "How little it is. I mean, really, it was only up to the next meal."
Williamson then took this as a cue to talk about Purefoy's British accent. "Actually, there was a debate initially. Because when we had out first meeting, [Purefoy] did it with an American accent. Because I was worried about the 'Anthony Hopkins' of it all. And then of course, as soon as I heard the British accent I was like *resigned* 'Oh yeah, lets do that.'"
The Following premieres on Monday, January 21st at 9/8c on FOX.

AURORA — Time and time again Breeze Phillips threw the best pitch she could, and time and time again Mariah Peterson fouled it off. The Evergreen pitcher just couldn't get the one pitch she needed. But Peterson got the one she wanted.
LITTLETON — Twelve teams from all over Jefferson County, including Chatfield, Columbine and Evergreen High Schools, showed off their best gymnasts at the league championship on Oct. 23 at Chatfield High School.
Bear Creek took top team honors, placing first with 182.150 points, Evergreen was third with 173.7 points, Chatfield took sixth with 164 points and Columbine was 10th with 152.475 points.
LITTLETON — They say good things come in small packages and in the case of Conifer sophomore Gabriel Valenzuela that saying couldn't be more accurate. Valenzuela, who is tiny but powerful, earned first place at the 4A Region 1 girls cross country championship on Oct. 22 at Clement Park.
The 5k course, which led runners all over Clement Park, was brutal for some and downright punishing for others. Valenzuela, meanwhile, just took it in stride.
The Evergreen Cougars decided to save their best for last. They played their best game in their final home game of the regular season, beating the 2010 Jefferson County 4A league champion Green Mountain Rams, 25-21, 19-25, 25-19, 25-21 on Oct. 21.
The Cougars' win ruined what was a perfect season in the league for the Rams (17-2, 9-1), who looked overmatched most of the game, only narrowly taking Game 2 and trailing throughout the rest of the games.
Evergreen's No. 1 singles player Nate Chart and head coach Bruce Kerry were named the boys tennis MVP and coach of the year for 2010 by the 4A Jeffco League.
Chart was one of five players to be named first-team, all-conference, joined by Stephen Hardy (No. 2 singles), Brian Repko (No. 3 singles) and the team of Cameron Sadler and Garrett Smith (No. 3 doubles). The No. 4 doubles team of Steve Jensen and Brad Lindsay were named second-team, all-conference.
Rob Molholm wasn't surprised that the Evergreen Cougars ran the ball so effectively. He wasn't surprised that his team even defeated previously unbeaten Englewood. But the 45-13 score that resulted in the Cougars' sixth win of the season, well, that was a little shocking. Almost as much as the Gatorade bath the head coach took in the post game.
LITTLETON — It's not like Evergreen needed to strike fear in the competition or build on its own confidence any more than it has already this season, but the Cougars' cross country team did so anyway at the 4A Jeffco League championships on Oct. 15 at Clement Park.
Just how much does Evergreen head softball coach Scott Haebe believe in Breeze Phillips? He didn't pitch her in the first game of the 4A Region 5 softball tournament on Oct. 16 at Four Diamonds Complex in Colorado Springs. But there's a method to his madness.
PUEBLO — Steve Jensen and Brad Lindsay did something Oct. 16 that they weren't able to do a week earlier at the 4A Region 1 tennis tournament — that's beat Colorado Academy's No. 4 doubles team.
The 7-6, 7-6 win at the 4A state championship at Pueblo City Park sewed up third place for the Evergreen duo, the only members of the Cougars to medal at this year's meet.
Well, I've done it again. Once a klutz, always a klutz. Seems like every few years, lately, I have to go tumbling around, either spraining or breaking something.
This time it's a broken right wrist. How these things happen so quickly amazes me, but of course, if you had time to think about it, they wouldn't happen.

Complete Results
MACOMB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois track & field team opened competition at the Lee Calhoun Memorial Invitational Friday with five Huskies competing in three events. Of that handful, Kelly Moser posted a top five showing, while Amanda Schwab and Alex Schad both scored points for NIU. "The ladies that competed today gave a solid effort," said Huskie head coach Connie Teaberry. "Our multi-athletes are beginning to get a better grasp on their events, while our jumpers and throwers are improving each meet due to the ability to get technique practices completed outdoors. They are headed in the right direction." Moser took fourth place in the high jump with a height of 5-01.00 (1.55m) for the top finish of the day. The mark was her second-highest leap of the season and her second top-five finish in three meets this season. In the javelin throw, Amanda Schwab tied a season-best finish with a sixth place showing, reaching a 105-11 (32.28m) mark. The heave marked the second straight weekend in which the Seminole, Fla., native reached triple digits. The other Huskie javelin thrower in the field, freshman Lydia Mitchell, finished 16th with a 78-03 (23.85m). Alex Schad kicked off the day for NIU with an eighth place showing in the long jump behind a 16-01.00 (4.90m) leap with a brisk wind in her face. Meanwhile, fellow first-year Huskie Michaela Dwyer took tenth place with a 15-07.00 (4.75m) mark. NIU returns to the track tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. with the bulk of the meet schedule. The discus opens up the field events, while the 3000 steeplechase kicks off the running events.

We were surprised when Deirdre began her questioning of Rick with the following question, "Why did your Communications Director call me asking me if I would write an op-ed piece for the Philadelphia Inquirer, quote, praising your work on the CAA bill?"
Rick answers that he has found it very hard to get the Pennsylvania media to cover his hard work on the bill and says that Deirdre deserves a great deal of credit for her hard work. Deirdre responds by saying she doesn't want credit, she just wanted the bill passed and she hopes Rick isn't looking for her to write an op-ed as a quid pro quo.
Imus later chimed in to say he told Deirdre not to write the op-ed because, "all Senator Santorum is doing, is doing what we're paying him to do."Here's the video:

The magpie in all of us cannot help but love shiny new green goods and gadgets. They appeal to our desire for, and faith in, technological innovation, and companies and popular media tout their ability to alleviate the various ills and crises besieging our world. The more complicated the technology, the more effective we often presume it to be. There are doubters among us, of course.
The provocateurs at Low-tech Magazine, a website which "refuses to assume that every problem has a high-tech solution," argue that high-tech has become the idol of our society.
A champion of environmentally sensitive ranchland practices, Courtney White of the Quivira Coalition shares that opinion. ''If certain politicians think we can drill our way to energy independence then most citizens think that a fancy, and painless, high-tech gizmo will ride to our rescue," he wrote on an Internet blog. History tells us, though, that economic hardship and periods of resource scarcity are often great motivators for questioning our devotion to the gizmo god.
Like many industries, in recent years, sustainable design and development has heartily embraced its inner techie.
Argon-filled windows, high-efficiency appliances and home energy-use monitors are among the many products being promoted through increasingly influential green building rating systems like LEED, municipal governments and federally funded grant programs.
Even the language and systems we are using to describe and dwell in our homes sound more and more like the techno-speak uttered by our favourite nerd: R-values; U-values; Energy Star ratings; carbon emissions.
This does not mean that low tech or even non-tech translates to dumbed down. In fact, many of the critically needed low-tech products designed for people in developing countries require more time and intellectual effort to ensure they are affordable, repairable, reliable and environmentally sound.
Last year Paul Makovsky wrote in Metropolis magazine: "I don't know about you, but I've been a bit frustrated with a lot of 'green' architecture lately -- you know, the kinds of buildings that focus on the checklist approach, substituting technical wizardry for simpler, time-honoured principles."
All of this is not to say that technology does not have a place. High-tech products that use fewer resources and less energy in their production and consumption are important improvements over their less savvy counterparts. However, the problem arises when we headline and hype high-tech, but sideline less glamorous, lower tech ideas of equal or greater value. This issue becomes particularly critical when we consider that a majority of the world's population, including many people in industrialized nations, does not have access to (financially or otherwise) the high-tech products and services frequently used in high-performance construction.
In the October 2008 issue of Architectural Record, Josephine Minutillo writes: "While architecture magazines are saturated with images of soaring, wriggling towers and pristine, jewel-like structures, those buildings represent a small fraction of actual construction. For much of the world's population, the comforts of home -- not to mention work and recreational facilities -- are critically lacking."
Minutillo notes that because of limited financial resources, many projects must rely on a low-tech approach using simple techniques including: local, unskilled labour; unusual or recycled materials; and alternative construction methods.
While eco-TVs and energy-efficient PCs will continue to capture our imaginations, it is important for us not to forget that some of the best tools (albeit somewhat boring) are not outside the box but simply and squarely within them.

Recently, I have been attempting to finish up my education by completing the dissertation project for the Ph.D program in Public Policy. For many semesters, I have informed university officials that I wanted to perform a dissertation topic related to deception and self-deception in regards to public policy. Due to the topic subject, I knew that my current university would attempt to try to distort the process of the dissertation for me. After I sent a request to have new committee members of my dissertation, they are pretending that I requested these members to be affirmed on the committee. They attempted to make up excuse after excuse in order to stop me from submitting my dissertation. You see, in today's America, many members of the White Anglo-American establishment are not wolves, but now they are foxes. They do not do anything overtly, but they pretend to have changed so much. Many of them pretend that there are not vicious predators, but later your chickens are still eaten. Instead of doing things overtly, they like to scheme and plot like foxes! They have known about my topic for awhile now, but know they are claiming that they do not see the public policy relevance of my topic (after 11 weeks of the dissertation course). Shame on all of them! My topic probably reveals too much about what they are about! What do you think Broward County!

Since there's a gun belt thread going, I'll jump in with a few questions of my own if no one minds.
How many of you are using an internally reinforced belt? How does it compare to a good leather belt? I've always just used a double thick leather gun belt, but have been wondering if the internal reinforcement makes much of a difference.
Also, anyone use one of those velcro lined belts and clips? How well does the velcro really work?

FriendFeed, which was recently acquired by Facebook, just released an interesting piece of open source software.
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed. The FriendFeed application is written using a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the underlying non-blocking infrastructure.
The story so far
This release generated widespread interest among the Python and open source development communities. Rightfully so. There are many reasons to like Tornado. To begin with, it's fast — and that's fundamental for a web server. By using nginx as a load balancer and a static file server, and running a few Tornado instances (usually one per core available on the machine) it's possible to handle thousands upon thousands of concurrent connections on relatively modest hardware; and this isn't just theory. Tornado has already proven its worth in the field, by allowing FriendFeed to scale graciously.
Tornado is not only a fast web server, it acts as a very lightweight application framework as well. As such, it's an appealing alternative to well established frameworks to the growing group of developers who'd like to develop "closer to the metal" and avoid the baggage associated with full-fledged web frameworks. The two things combined make Tornado ideal for developing "real time" web services and applications.
The feedback so far hasn't been all positive though. Criticism of the project has mainly focused on the lack of test coverage and the fact that FriendFeed has opted not to contribute to, and improve on, the existing Twisted Web project (which has similar goals). To make things worse, there were a few nonchalant comments about it as well. Performance issues and lack of ease of use were the reported motivations for starting a new project from scratch.
Dustin Sallings started working on a hybrid solution (henceforth Tornado on Twisted) that would reportedly keep the good parts that Tornado introduced, while using Twisted as its core for networking and HTTP parsing.
At this point I became naturally curious about the speed of these three web servers. Is Tornado really faster than Twisted Web? And what about Tornado on Twisted, would it be faster or slower? Let's find out.
Benchmark results
I ran a simple Hello World app for all three web servers. All the web servers were run in standalone mode without a load balancer. I stress tested the web servers with httperf using a progressively larger amount of concurrent requests. 100,000 requests were generated for each test. The web servers were run on a desktop machine with an Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600 (8M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) processor and 8GB of RAM. The operating system of choice was Ubuntu 9.04 (x86_64).
Without further ado, here are the results:
As you can see Tornado turned out to be faster than the rest of the Python web servers. Handling a peak of almost 3900 req/s with a single front-end and on commodity hardware is nothing to sneer at.
Twisted Web didn't do too bad either (max. 2703.7 req/s), but the difference in performance is noticeable. Likewise, the performance of Tornado on Twisted was virtually identical to that of Twisted Web.
There you have it. I was curious about the possible outcome and now I know. Remember, this is a report on the numbers I got on my machine, not a research paper. But I hope that you find them interesting nevertheless.

Nice stats, thank you..
Thin would probably still have been the more interesting thing to include here since Unicorn is not async (or is it?) and Thin is built on EM, which is often compared to Twisted.
Thin doesn't take advantage of async as much as it could, though, either. It processes requests serially and synchronously — you can't truly have two concurrent requests, which is probably the numbers looked bad. I'd like to see someone take Thin, break the Rack synchronous call style (keeping everything else from Rack), and build a light framework on top of that. This has been ripe for a while now.
Unicorn is not remotely async, it's very explicitly one full-fledged UNIX
process per client. It's intended for very different use cases than
Tornado or Twisted (or even Thin).
See the philosophy and design documents here:
P.S. I'm the primary author of Unicorn
Since Twisted supports more than one reactor, which reactor did you test? The default select reactor will not be as good as the epoll one, etc.
I often forget to change this and get a huge performance boost by changing one commandline option.
Jack, you just addressed one of Twisted issues for me: Code Usability.
Why by default doesn't it use the best way of doing it? And if it isn't possible in any way, why isn't it stated very very very very clear everywhere? 😉
Your post compares a C++ event framework wrapped on a thin Ruby layer with pure Python frameworks. It would have been nice of you to make that clear on the title or the introduction.
Could you post the code/scripts you used for the benchmark? The EM results seem strange compared to the others.
Tornado doesn't seem too "pure Python" to me =)
I agree with Alecco. What possessed you to add EM to this comparison? It only obfuscates the useful comparison you set out to make.
While it's great to see EM performing so well, I wonder how much of the HTTP spec does it implement? It's easy to write code that implements just enough of the spec to run the benchmark and have it blow away general purpose servers.
I'm not remotely surprised that tornado on twisted is slower than plain tornado — the code I pushed was the least code possible to get apps to run without API changes. In order to do that, I ended up wrapping existing code (i.e. adding indirection) to get it to go. There's more work to go.
I do appreciate the benchmark, though. It gives us a starting point.
> Tornado doesn't seem too "pure Python" to me =)
Sure, bad wording from me. Python doesn't have straightforward calls to system calls. Both Twisted and Tornado seem to have have very tiny C modules to do handle the system call to the OS. But the main code is Python.
EventMachine seems a full blown asynchronous framework in C++.
Also, in my experience, EM raises some warning flags since it doesn't use Boost/Asio.
> The language used to implement an event-based framework that

I didn't say your test or analysis was invalid or pointless. Just asked to make it clear it's apples and oranges, or perhaps oranges and mandarins. My exact phrasing:
>> "It would have been nice of you to make that clear on the title or the introduction."
It's a goal, but it's not as simple as you might think. If you'd like to help, see
Personally, in the past I've had difficulties with the ApacheBench tool. Have you tried other HTTP benchmarking tools, like httperf? Also, I don't know if any existing benchmarking tools do this, but it would be nice to see a scatter plot of how long each server takes to complete each request, rather than condensing everything down into a single number. For those of us interested in making some of these servers faster, that would produce a lot more interesting output, and perhaps illuminate some distinct bottlenecks :).
httperf is a better tool if you really care about useful statistics.
Anotonio, thanks for the benchmark. But something is just not right here. There is no way one "framework" can beat another by so much. When it comes to massively parallel asynchronous I/O the bulk of the work is done by the kernel i.e. epoll() on Linux.
There are really two things going on:
a) I/O implementation (all of it is in C – for all your contenders)
b) Data marshaling b/w Ruby/Python and C
I just don't see how one framework can be more performant than another. The differences you're seeing can only be attributed to:
a) Richness of implementation, i.e. do all these "Hello world" apps do full HTTP headers parsing and forming "request objects"? How about initializing/maintaining other aspects of maintaining a request state? I doubt we're looking at oranges-to-oranges here.
b) Error of configuration: did you make sure all of them rely on epoll()? This isn't as trivial as it may appear since I/O libraries have a habit of falling back to slower select() or poll() silently.
@antonio Thanks for this very interesting benchmark. I see that you have pulled down the EventMachine chart. I am aware that this post is focused on evented python servers. However, EventMachine and Twisted Python are both Evented framework for respective language. look forward more content on EventMachine since that EM server is pushing out some really nice numbers, perhaps a seperate post ?
What command-line options did you use with httperf? I'd like to try this test against various Ruby async http servers.
what? I wanted to see EM benchmarks… could you make another post comparing EM with Tornado please?
is cogen competitive?
[…] async. approach called Tornado which is also using callbacks and recent benchmark show that it outperforms Twisted.A common heard argument against programming with callbacks is that it can get overly […]

- The ultimate Bale souvenir
- Currently Unavailable
Personally autographed by Gareth Bale.
This 16 x 12 inches print was personally signed by Gareth Bale in an exclusive signing session with the Spurs and Wales star in London on February 12, 2013.
This print shows Bale celebrating his winning goal from Wales' memorable 2012 clash with Scotland - a goal he says is his favorite goal to have ever scored.
Bale has become one of the world's best wingers since famously tearing apart Inter Milan full-back Maicon in Spurs' debut Champions League campaign in 2010/11. The Welshman combines lightening pace and incredible power with a lethal left foot. He is a hero at White Hart Lane and a crucial player for both club and country.

I'm preparing for an exam in my course Martingales & Stochastic Integrals. Currently I'm having a look at some old exams, and there's a question on one of them that I'm not able to figure out. The teacher has not provided any solutions so now I'm asking you.
Assignment: Determine the continuous square integrable martingale $M = ( M_t , t \geq 0 )$ and the associated filtration, given $ M_0 = 0 $ and the quadratic variation $\langle M\rangle_t =\log(1+t^2) $ (the natural logarithm of course).
The only thing I've come up with is that $ M_t^2 -\langle M\rangle_t $ is supposed to be a martingale, hence $$ E(M_t^2 - \langle M\rangle _t) = E(M_0^2 -\langle M\rangle _0), $$ which by definition yields $$ E(M_t^2 -\langle M\rangle _t) = 0. $$ Thus $$ M_t^2 = \log(1+t^2) $$ $$ M_t = \sqrt{\log(1+t^2)}. $$
Could this really be correct? Does anyone know the solution or at least have the link to some free lecture notes where I can learn to solve this?

Help: installing mod_backhand
Installing mod_backhand is the easiest thing one can do.
If you are installing it with Apache (compiling and installing all in one fell swoop), then follow the directions in the
"Help: compiling mod_backhand" document
If you have the dynamically loadable modules and you want to use them in your existing Apache build, simply copy them into your ServerRoot/libexec, where the rest of the shared modules are.
If you have problems and find that httpd is core dumping (segmentaion fault or bus error) then you really need to compile the modules yourself. Apparently your Apache build is not the same as our Apache build. To do this, follow the directions in the
"Help: compiling mod_backhand" document
If you want to compile mod_backhand after you have already installed Apache, it is possible, but we do not provide the turn-key solutions for this approach. We recommend building it with Apache. If you really want to do this, Apache comes with the apxs tool for this and you can hack together a small makefile that will pull the correct includes from your installed tree. The problem is that every system is a little different and we figured that if a percon knows enough to want to take this approach, that can easily compile this module without our help.

|Growing Fuel Instead of Food: Agro-fuels in Chiapas
|Written by Jessica Davies
|Tuesday, 24 August 2010 12:25
"Capitalism also makes its wealth from plunder, or theft, because they take what they want from others, land, for example, and natural resources...... they also want to privatize electricity and water and the forests and everything, until nothing of Mexico is left, and our country will be a wasteland or a place of entertainment for rich people from all over the world,.....but there are Mexican men and women who are organizing and making a resistance struggle.... there are indigenous, and they are making their autonomy and defending their culture and caring for their land, forests and water" - from the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle.
The state government promotes expansion of the cultivation of agro-fuels
There are two main types of Oil Palm, the African Oil Palm, Elaeis guineensis, native to west Africa between Angola and Gambia, and the American Oil Palm, Elaeis oleifera, native to tropical Central America and South America. Under a scheme called "productive reconversion" 50,000 hectares of the Chiapas countryside no longer grow food crops, they are now planted with African palm in a scheme designed to make the countryside more profitable, even though the crop is recognised to cause substantial, often irreversible, damage to the natural environment. There are now six oil palm extraction plants in Chiapas, and it is planned to have 100,000 hectares under cultivation by 2012.
Monoculture oil palm plantations are one of the main causes of deforestation. In the words of the World Rainforest Movement, they "replace tropical forests and other ecosystems, leading to loss of biodiversity, flooding, the worsening of droughts, soil erosion, pollution of water courses and the apparition of pests due to a breakdown in the ecological balance and to changes in food chains". Oil palm plantations are great consumers of water, deplete fresh water sources, and jeopardize the availability of water in their area. The plantations require agrochemicals that poison workers and local communities and contaminate soil and water.
Oil palm in the Lacandon Jungle
There is also the question of land evictions, the forcible removal of peoples from their lands to provide areas for oil palm cultivation. The following alert was released in February 2010: "Families from the Biosphere of Montes Azules, Lacandon Jungle, are being evicted from their land in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. The evictions, being forced by police operations, are to make way for palm oil plantations. Friends of the Earth International call on you to demand an end to the evictions and the proposed developments."
The Latin American Network against Monoculture Tree Plantations (RECOMA) reported "Last January, the Chiapas State Congress approved funding for the construction of a palm oil processing plant. Shortly afterwards, dozens of families were evicted from their territory, in order to give way for the expansion of monoculture oil palm plantations. Heavily armed police arrived in helicopters and with aggressive violence evicted men, women and children from their homes, which they then burnt down and, with no explanation, removed the community to the city of Palenque. While the government talks about conservation and protection of the zone, it evicts those who have been truly responsible for making this conservation possible. At the same time, it replaces local ecosystems by oil palm monocultures".
The evictions in this area are part of a plan of seizure of indigenous lands, not only for oil palm plantations, but also for the creation of luxury 'eco-tourism' complexes, construction of roads, dams, and airports, and the plundering of natural resources - timber, water, oil, minerals.
Deforestation of the Montes Azules biosphere reserve has now reached 80 per cent. Over 40 communities have now been evicted from the area. One of the two communities uprooted from their lands in the January 2010 displacements described above was a Zapatista support base settlement. A Zapatista spokesperson stated, "To make the situation clear to the public about the new phase of aggression that has restarted against our compañer@s ... we made public our position regarding the defence of the Mother Earth in a written declaration dated 23rd January 2010. In this declaration we clearly stated that we would defend the land and its natural resources."
In April 2010 plans for more evictions in the area were denounced by the Zapatista autonomous authorities (JBG): "For us the land belongs to those who work it, therefore we make clear that...we will not allow one more eviction, we will not tolerate these actions, we will not allow them to take place; we will defend our land whatever happens, because for us the land is not for hire, not for rent, let alone an object for sale....We love the Mother Earth; we work it, care for it, and protect it. For this reason we are ready to defend it at all costs."
The Zapatistas have never identified themselves as an environmental movement. Their struggle has been, and remains, one for land and dignity, for the right to live collectively, in their own way, and for democracy, liberty and justice. But it naturally all comes together. The indigenous peoples of the earth once again have to become its defenders.

Chvrches may have one of the most anticipated debut albums of the fall — The Bones of What You Believe drops tomorrow — but when it comes to fame, the trio don't think they're quite there yet.
"I don't think we'd consider ourselves famous at this point," Martin Doherty said. "We're just getting on with what we're doing. I think we've got a bit to go before we can say that."
Chvrches have been creating their share of buzz online and off since dropping their Recover EP in March of this year. In the ensuing months, they have toured with the likes of Passion Pit and Depeche Mode, recently appearing on MTV Hive's Artist To Watch Live stream on Friday.
Steady chatter has been growing for months about their debut LP, which is a darkly dancey — and extremely catchy — '80s-esque work replete with bangers like "Recover" and "The Mother We Share."
According to Iain Cook, the throwback sound of the record is mostly influenced by films — specifically horror flicks. "A lot of our earliest, most impressionable moments with music were when we were growing up watching movies and the songs from the soundtracks, but also the score," Cook told MTV News. "A lot of sci-fi and horror scores from the '80s where they wouldn't use orchestras and they would use electronic instruments, I guess for budgetary reasons or whatever, tend to be particularly memorable, because they can be really gnarly and they work really well with the gore." Cook is a big horror buff, he said.
That minimal equipment and rich sound idea runs throughout the band's debut LP, which has already begun raking in its share of praise since it premiered on NPR last week.
Still, as we previously stated, the band has no grand view of themselves as famous artists just yet. In fact, Doherty recently had a run-in with Morrissey — a childhood idol — at the airport in which he was shoo'd away from the iconic musician by a bevy of bodyguards.
After tomorrow, however, perhaps Morrissey will be aiming to shake their hands.

Special Needs – Judy Langille Avian Wellness Centre
Judy Langille is a wonderful benefactor who made a huge contribution that enabled us to set up a special needs unit. The Judy Langille Wellness Centre is the heart of the refuge and provides us with a place to give individual attention to an ever-growing number of our psittacine family.
Many newcomers arrive at the Refuge in poor physical condition. The special needs unit is home to parrots with a multitude of medical and physical problems that make it impossible to them to join the free flight flock facility. None of the birds in pallative care are sick with contagious diseases. Some are crippled, often as a result of neglect, abuse, or injuries sustained when being trapped in the wild. Others are self mutilators, and compulsively pluck out their feathers, which is a common response amongst parrots when dealing with the stresses of captivity. Many others have cancer. More often than not, their illnesses can be associated with years of malnutrition, lack of sunshine, physical confinement and emotional deprivation.
Their stay in this section may be for just a few weeks for short-term medical intervention but in some cases, it becomes their home. Most of the birds here are not caged and are able to wander around at their leisure. Some are justifiably cautious and others are gregarious as they meet and greet visitors, demanding lots of love and attention.
Currently the pallative care unit houses 53 parrots, ranging from a Green-winged macaw to a budgie. The variety of reasons for being in the unit is just as diverse. Several of the Moluccan cockatoos have cancer. One of the Amazon parrots has epilepsy and has been on medication for 25 years. Some of the macaws and Umbrella cockatoos have extreme physical disabilities that were caused when they were caught in snare traps in the wild.
We have emotionally abused cockatoos who cannot forget the horrible words that were used as weapons against them when they pulled out their feathers, while locked in cages in lonely rooms known as "the bird room".
We have physically abused birds who were so badly beaten that their wings still hang down or they yell "Damn Bird! Damn Bird!". We have an Eclectus, who was kept in a 20″ square cage on the floor of a garage in an area prone to melting summer heat and long freezing winters, and now suffers from arthritis so badly that his grip is as soft as a touch. He now loves his huge run-around area with his chosen friend, another Eclectus, who was traded to a body shop for work on a car, and who is also now enjoying love, a great diet and fresh air. She actually lived in the body shop where all those chemicals were used.
Sadly many of the birds have become extreme self mutilators. We give them the medical care needed to prevent infection in their wounds. Soon they improve with continuous loving care and a more appropriate diet and soon they are able to go back to their own flock in the refuge.
Some of the Moluccan cockatoos here have cancer, but with modern medicine, love and dedication their lives continue in a controlled manner. Elvis a Moluccan Cockatoo is very old (possibly over 60) and is blind from macular degeneration, which is the same aging problem that affects humans. With proper care and love he will live out the rest of his life in the safety and comfort of the World Parrot Refuge.
There are so many reasons why these birds are in the pallative care unit. The financial cost to the refuge is enormous as, for many of the birds, it is intensive care. Your help is desperately needed. If you feel you can donate any money, even $5 can be a great help, please click on the following "Donate Now" button.

This last week covered how undocumented immigrants were being released from federal custody at local bus stations.
Some staff at those bus stations, as well as local charitable organizations have been helping them out.
The Holding Institute says during that time, they've been allowing people to come use showers and spend time in classrooms.
Bus station workers say people were released from custody with few items.
The Holding Institute also distributed food baskets and hygiene kits to families who didn't have supplies.
A local north side bus station did not report getting any more undocumented families this week.

People Behind the Scenes
Who keeps our university in top shape? It's the People Behind the Scenes! Meet JP Osnes, technical director, Macky Auditorium Concert Hall.
A concert hall technical director assembles all the necessary elements, such as skilled labor, equipment and scheduling, in order to help performing artists create an escape from the workaday world for all the other folks (the audience) who have to toil 9 to 5 with "real" jobs. To do this, I hire, contract and train a team of talented and skilled artisans, technicians and trades-people; buy, rent, borrow, repair or beg equipment and materials; create and maintain a schedule; enforce compliance with a growing number of building and safety codes, employment and labor policies; and negotiate business relationships. Event production involves pretty much every trade and skill necessary to create cities or universities or even states. We achieve the same thing, but on a much smaller scale for a discreetly limited time period and with a great deal of fakery and illusion. The result is hopefully entertaining, often enlightening and always worth the ticket price.
What do you like best about being a part of the CU community?
Macky serves the Boulder arts community and the entire Colorado Front Range in addition to the CU-Boulder campus. Being part of a large state school provides an artistically and intellectually fertile environment in which to support and present the arts. Macky is the only state owned performing arts facility without an explicit educational or commercial mission. Nearly 100 years ago, Andrew J. Macky wanted to endow a premier concert hall and with respect to his wishes, I strive to balance the university's academic priorities with our primary mission of supporting the performing arts. Being part of CU allows us to fulfill this mission with few commercial pressures or risks. The fact that an arts facility has needs that are difficult to meet in a state educational institution is part of the challenge.
What is your favorite activity/interest outside of work?
I live five blocks from my place of work, so spending time with my family is easy. My wife, Beth, is a professor of Theatre and Dance. My children have spent a lot of their childhood seeing performances and working on stage, too. James Kimball, a CU philosophy professor, gave me a 'pearl of wisdom' years ago: "You are what you do. Making distinctions between work and non-work is a dangerous self-deception." I work in the arts, I play in the arts and I live in the arts. This is especially odd since I have degrees in biochemistry and MCDB.

New Hampshire's last reign at No. 1 lasted only a week as their top ranking was followed by a split against Maine.
Miami moves up one to No. 3, trading places with Minnesota, while Notre Dame and Denver do the same with the Irish jumping to No. 5 and DU coming in sixth this week.
Boston University and Western Michigan are tied for seventh, North Dakota falls two to No. 9 and Dartmouth is 10th this week, up one place from a week ago.
Cornell is up one to No. 11, Union falls four to No. 12, Quinnipiac rises three places to sit 13th, Nebraska-Omaha drops one spot to No. 14 and Yale holds steady at No. 15.
At No. 16, Ferris State moves up a spot, St. Cloud State falls three to No. 17, Niagara jumps two places to No. 18, Colorado College is down one to No. 19 and Harvard falls one to round out the rankings at No. 20.
