RIO GRANDE, Ohio – Junior guard Callisha Johnson scored 30 points and hit 4-of-4 from the line in the final 45 seconds to lead the University of Pikeville to a critical 70-62 win over the University of Rio Grande Thursday night at Newt Oliver Arena.
The win kept the Bears alive in their quest to qualify for next week's Mid-South Conference tournament in Frankfort. Bill Watson's club is hoping for help in their effort to catch Lindsey Wilson for the eighth and final seed in the event.
The win improved the Bears to 11-17 overall, 6-12 in the Mid-South Conference.
A three-point basket by sophomore Christin Haney with 3:11 left put the Bears on top 63-58. The lead was 65-61 when Rio turned the ball over with 53 seconds to play. It was one of 17 Red Storm turnovers on the night.
Johnson sank two free throws with 44.6 seconds to play to push the lead to 67-61. After the Red Storm missed a three with 23.9 seconds left, Haney went 1-of-2 from the line with 16.2 seconds to play to make it a three-possession game.
Two more Johnson tosses with 7.6 seconds left set the final score.
The Bears had built a 33-27 lead at the half, hitting 40 percent overall despite going 0-of-9 from the arc. They had the lead thanks to 9-of-12 (75 percent) shooting from the free throw line. Rio Grande had turned the ball over 10 times but held a 22-19 rebounding advantage.
Johnson was one of two Bears in double figures in the win. Haney joined her with 12 points and four steals.
Sophomore Whitney Belle Jackson had nine. Freshman Peyton Wright led the Bears with eight rebounds while Jackson added six.
Rio Grande (6-22, 0-18) had four players in double figures, led by Noelani Woodson's 18. She was 6-of-13 from the arc. Sarah Bonar followed with 11 and seven rebounds, while Tinesha Taylor tossed in 10 with eight boards.
Morgan Daniels added 10 points.
The Bears remain on the road on Saturday when they visit No. 14 Shawnee State for a 2 p.m. tip in Portsmouth, Ohio. Rio Grande will remain home to meet U.Va.-Wise on Saturday.

Bob Saget's new show Strange Days takes him around the US, checking things off of his bucket list along the way. Last night Bob went searching for Sasquatch or Homo Erectus Giganticus to those who use words like that.
First things first, we got to meet the members of the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researches Organization) who would be guiding Bob through the dangerous terrain.
Call me a skeptic, but no way did I expect this call to generate any response.
And here you can see how, seemingly, all Bigfoot hunts go. God bless these guys though, they never seem to get discouraged.

OAKLAND -- If there was consolation to the A's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday night, it's that Yoenis Cespedes looks primed to put the team on his back offensively for the rest of the series.
Unfortunately, on this night, Cespedes didn't get support from anyone else in the lineup. He was the only A's player who appeared to have any clue against Tigers starter Max Scherzer, although he was bested by closer Joaquin Benoit with a chance to tie the score in the ninth inning.
Cespedes smacked a laser triple over the head of left fielder Andy Dirks in the second inning, then crushed a two-run home run in the seventh to provide the A's their only runs.
It could have been an even more explosive night for Cespedes when he came up with one out in the ninth against Benoit. He just missed connecting on the first pitch, fouling it high into the seats behind third base before swinging through the next two pitches.
Nonetheless, it was an encouraging start for a player the A's weren't sure would be ready to play by Game 1 of the American League Division Series because of an ailing right shoulder. But Cespedes not only was able to hit, he played left field.
"The last month has been one of the best for me all year, and I am still feeling good," Cespedes said through interpreter Ariel Prieto.
Cespedes doesn't think he will have to carry the whole load offensively now that the A's have a game under their belts after four days off.
"This is not just about me," he said. "It depends on the team. I was good today, but the rest of the team will be good (Saturday)."
Manager Bob Melvin has been careful to bring Cespedes along through the course of the week.
"He looked very good," Melvin said. "The first time up he put a pretty good swing on it. Obviously his home run, he put a pretty good swing on it. His shoulder feels good."
Perhaps not so much defensively, however. Cespedes misplayed Victor Martinez's fly ball in the eighth inning for an error, although it didn't wind up costing Oakland.
"The ball got into the lights," Cespedes said of Martinez's sinking liner that caromed off his glove.
Perhaps more worrisome, Cespedes seemed tentative throwing the ball. He never had to make a strong throw, but on two plays he soft-tossed the ball back to the infield. On his misplay, he deferred to center fielder Coco Crisp to make the throw back to the infield.
Cespedes maintained the shoulder was feeling much better, good enough to make the start in the outfield.
"It's not 100 percent, but I'm ready to play left field," he said.
If Cespedes does become a liability in left field, the A's will settle for his bat. Scherzer had his way with the rest of the A's lineup -- the only other hit against him was Brandon Moss' chopper over the mound preceding Cespedes' homer.
Crisp said it was promising for the A's to see Cespedes swing the bat the way he did.
"He's just a big part of our lineup, and if he continues to swing like this, I think we have a good chance to pull off some needed wins," he said.

USA, 2013, 102 Minute Running Time
Two nights only! 9:30pm Friday Jan 3rd & Saturday Jan 4th.
A man (Sharlto Copley, District 9, Elysium) wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives way to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that's more vicious -- and hungry -- than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together -- before it's too late.

1. Circus school: 07:19
The static trapeze lessons I've been taking are tons of fun and great motivation to exercise more. (11 straight days of exercise!)
Here are a couple of other classes that might be useful:

On Technorati: health
Random Emacs symbol: mule-version-date - Variable: Distribution date of this version of MULE (multilingual environment).
2. Switching mindsets: 07:45
One of the interesting side-effects of writing this book on Emacs is that I get to stretch my brain by trying out different ways to plan my day.
My Planner configuration had accreted to just the right kind of support over the past five years, and I've been using it without needing to think about it much That's part of the reason why it works so well for me. It's just part of my workflow. It has molded my brain, and vice versa. ;)
I'd like to write a really good chapter that also shows the best of org, so I'm going to either have to _think_ org, or find someone (talkative! ;) ) who does.
Right now, I'm working on how to use Emacs to manage schedules. I'm running into interesting differences between Planner and Org, and these differences give me a better appreciation for both.
In Planner, I'm used to scheduling a slew of tasks at a time and moving things around a bit, ordering and grouping my tasks visually. In Org, I don't have the ability to manually edit the agenda view, but I do have the ability to pull tasks in from lots of different locations. This doesn't quite support my old way of planning, but opens up new ones.
Here's what I'm learning in order to do things the Org way:
- Keep my scheduled day as clear as possible, putting down only fixed appointments and things I absolutely need to do that day.
- Add other items as planned, but focus only on the next few actions.
- Separate my tasks by context to make it easy to pull out the next few applicable actions.
Random Emacs symbol: cos - Function: Return the cosine of ARG.
3. How I came to love Emacs: 08:28
Riffing off P.F. Hawkins' post on how he came to love Emacs, let me tell you my story. =)
I wasn't always an Emacs geek. I remember giving it a shot and finding out that I much preferred vim or even pico -w. I don't remember much else of my pre-Emacs days, though. I do remember the turning point.
While browsing in the library stacks at my university, I found a copy of Unix Power Tools. It described Emacs, so I decided to give it another try. I got hooked.
The key thing for me was the exposure to Emacs Lisp. Unix Power Tools gave all sorts of tips, often accompanied with Emacs Lisp code to put in your ~/.emacs. So I thought, hey, this might be fun to learn.
I read the Emacs Lisp intro manual. I read the Emacs Lisp manual. Then I started reading all the source code I could find, frequently referring to the help files in order to understand something. I learned about C-h f (describe function) and the ability to jump to, trace, and modify practically any bit of code in my text editor. My universe blew wide open.
Several years and several thousand lines of config later, I've got a text editor that fits me like a glove. The people I've met, the things I've learned, the crazy ideas I've tried... What would my life be without Emacs? It's really kinda odd to say that about a piece of software, but yes: Emacs has changed my life.
What's next for me? Well, I'm working on that book. I hope it'll be as mind-blowing as Unix Power Tools was for me. I hope it'll help people discover more and get excited. I'm learning more about the things people can do with it and I'm playing around with other crazy ideas, particularly for contact management and personal information management. I also want to bring this kind of customizability to other applications. Maybe I'll try it with Lotus Notes, which I'll need to use for work anyway. But Emacs, ah, Emacs... How do I love thee? Let me M-x count-the-ways!
Random Emacs symbol: eshell-login-script - Variable: *If non-nil, a file to invoke when starting up Eshell interactively.
4. Chapter is taking shape: 14:43
After a little bit of [[http://sachachua.com/notebook/wiki/2007.10.12.php#anchor-2][thinking about Org and Planner]], I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the chapter that I'm writing. I pasted my draft into OpenOffice and found to my surprise that I have about 13 pages of content, with 7 more to go.
I'm comfortable working with the book as an org outline, and I really love how it lets me navigate the outline and mark segments as TODO or DRAFT. I think I'd rather draft it in Emacs than in OpenOffice.org, where I'll be tempted to fiddle with formatting and editing. I'll use longlines-mode to draft my book so that I can paste it into OpenOffice for a rough idea of the page count, but that'll be my only concession. =)
I'll put the chapter together before sending it to beta readers, which would basically be the people who've e-mailed me or commented on my book-related blog entries. If you want to be a beta reader, now's a good time to volunteer! It involves reading rough drafts and going, "Ooh, that _is_ cool," or even better, "Hey, you missed this totally awesome Emacs trick..." =) Encouragement will help keep me going, too!
Random Emacs symbol: w3m-encoding-type-alist - Variable: *Alist of file suffixes and content encoding types.
5. Taking portraits of people: 15:31
Ian Irving was kind enough to not only introduce me to a wonderful little cafe (Lou's Coffee Bar at Runnymede and Annette) and share his insights on consulting and tech evangelism, but to also sit for a portrait by this amateur.
Good side-lighting. Yay dimples. =) I also like the background - the exchange bookshelf at the cafe. I cropped this one really tight, which improved the composition a bit.
Next time I take a picture, I'll spend a little more time trying to make sure it's in focus.
Not bad for a quick shot, though. =)
Random Emacs symbol: w3m-arrived-put - Function: Store VALUE in the arrived URLs database as the PROPERTY of URL.
6. Through the fear: 23:39
I'm not afraid of heights, just falling. I _enjoy_ the challenge of speaking in front of people or turning up in a room full of strangers. But falling? Losing my balance or grip? Scares the heck out of me.
Precisely why I'm taking trapeze lessons, of course. Perched precariously some six and a half feet above the ground, dangling upside down and wondering if my grip's about to give, resolutely ignoring the pain shooting up from my blistered left hand, I can _still_ focus and learn, and I _love_ that. It's ever so satisfying to feel that frisson of fear and _work through it anyway._
I love setting little goals for myself. Last Tuesday, it was being able to hook my knees on the bar all by myself. We made slow progress as I learned things piecemeal, but I did it. And I'm coming to love failing, too, to love knowing that I have a lot to learn. Learning means putting together all these things that you can't quite describe, you just have to _do_. When my toes don't quite clear the bar or my legs feel kinda wobbly, I love being able to take a step back in my head and try to figure out what's happening and what I want to happen.
Today I managed to hold the upside-down-legs-over-head position using the lines. I also made it up to a sitting position! Next session, I want to make it up there with very little assistance. I want to smoothen my motions, too.
Plenty to learn, plenty to learn...

LIDO KEY - A waterfront estate near the tony St. Armands Circle shopping district has sold for $4.25 million, the highest-priced single-family home sale on Lido Key since 2007.
"Buyers of significant means are actively pursuing the most luxurious, one-of-a-kind properties our market has to offer. And this property has it all."

Authorities issue an open murder and two child abduction warrants for a man suspected of killing a woman he lived with in Michigan. They also suspect him of kidnapping his children from Illinois.
Forty-eight-year-old Patrick Michael Gleeson is suspected of killing 43-year-old Dena Lynn Fuglseth.
Police say her body was found Friday in the basement of her Ottawa County home in Park Township.
Gleeson is also suspected of kidnapping five-year-old daughter Ashley and three-year-old son Joshua. They were reported missing last Monday after Gleeson didn't return home from visitation with the kids.
As a result, police issued an Amber Alert for the children. They believe the kids could be in danger.
Extended Web Coverage
The AMBER Plan
The AMBER Plan is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies and broadcasters to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases.
Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS), formerly called the Emergency Broadcast System, to air a description of the missing child and suspected abductor.
This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies. The goal of the AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe return of the child.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: STOVER, PATRICK J.
Project Title: Folate-Genome Interactions in Colorectal Cancer
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that account for the associations between impaired folate status and risk for colon cancer using purpose-designed mouse models. Folate metabolism is necessary for the synthesis of nucleotides (purines and dTMP) and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). Disruption of folate metabolism by vitamin deficiency or single nucleotide polymorphisms can affect SAM and dTMP syntheses and thereby influence DNA methylation density and uracil content. Both DNA uracil content and methylation density affect DNA stability, and DNA methylation also regulates the expression of many genes. It is not known if the associations between folate and colon cancer risk result from altered SAM synthesis and/or dTMP synthesis. Recently, we have demonstrated that the enzyme cytoplasmic serine hydroxymethyltransferase (cSHMT) is a metabolic switch that directs the flux of folate-activated one-carbon units between dTMP and SAM biosynthetic pathways, cSHMT expression and activity is regulated by several dietary components including retinoic acid, iron/ferritin and vitamin B6. Therefore, the eSHMTmediated metabolic switch is likely involved in the etiology of folate-related pathologies and may be a target for prevention. In this proposal, we will determine the metabolic role of eSHMT in regulating folate metabolism, DNA and histone methylation, DNA stability and gene expression in the colonic crypts and determine if disruption of either dTMP or SAM synthesis increases (or protects against) colon cancer incidence in established mouse cancer models. The principle hypotheses to be tested are that: (1). cSHMT regulates folate metabolism in the colonic crypt. (2). cSHMT expression is regulated in the crypts of the colon by ferritin and influences cancer risk. (3). changes in cSHMT influences genomic methylation, expression and stability in the colonic crypt. The long-term goal of this project is: (1). to determine the mechanism whereby alterations in folate metabolism influence cancer risk.

Very Good Beater Review by Anonymous
This Kitchenaid flex edge beater is amazing. I used it yesterday for making a no-bake cheesecake filling that has cream cheese in it. I normally find that the cream cheese sticks to the edge of the bowl and I have to get a spatula and scrape it back in a few times. With the flex edge beater, I didn't have to do any such thing! The mixer bowl didn't have a speck of cream cheese sticking to the side. This flex edge beater works by having a little rubber spatula on the edge of it that scrapes the bowl as it goes around. It is amazing. (Posted on 9/23/13)

9/11 Ten Years Later. Share your thoughts & experience.
MAKESHIFT PATRIOT by Sage Francis (2001)
I'm offering Makeshift Patriot as a free download just as I did when it was first released. This is an emotional day for all, but a great lesson we've learned is to not get lost in, nor act upon, that emotion. A friend just sent me an email that made me realize something. There is a need for us all to *feel* something on this day. I believe I was unconsciously trying to avoid those feelings, because I don't like feeling manipulated by emotion (which the govt & media absolutely did to us after the attacks), but once the tears hit me it felt perfectly human. Things are not OK. It's important to know that and feel that. If nothing else, that's what I will "always remember and never forget" every 9/11. We can be loving and peaceful while remaining critical and aware.
Below is an interesting piece of audio B. Dolan just posted where he speaks about his 9/11 experience, conspiracy theories, civil liberties and more. I especially like his take on the 9/11 truther stuff.
B. Dolan speaks about his experience on 9/11, conspiracy theories, civil liberties
As 9/11 was a collective experience, and it affected all of our lives in one way or another, I'm wondering where your heads are at 10 years down the line. From then until now. If you have any experiences or thoughts you'd like to share, I'd like to hear them.

I just posted this on my Facebook wall:
- I remember that for the first few days after the attack there were televisions everywhere, in places where you normally never saw them. People brought them to work, and just sat and watched together for hours. Everywhere seemed deserted, and quiet; it felt like half the country was away on bereavement leave. I suppose we were.
- I remember that within two or three weeks I had stopped reacting to the tragedy and started reacting to the reaction. I was resentful of the media coverage, of the idea that there were these painted faces caught between cameras and smoking ruins, trying to emote their way into bigger and better careers.
- I was distrustful of the surge of patriotic sentiment; in retrospect I think that this is because I felt that it would be hard to find a worse reason to love one's country than as a reaction to an act of terrorism. The act itself didn't make this country better; it made the world a uniformly worse place. I didn't understand how that should translate to nationalistic pride, except as a contrary reaction: The terrorists want us to change, so instead we will simply strengthen our resolve. It became very important to us to be about whatever they were against. It makes me think now about the scene in Unbreakable where Samuel L. Jackson says: "Now that we know who you are, I know who I am."
- A month or two later, I remember sitting in bars and hearing so many guitar renditions of the Star Spangled Banner, and thinking about how they were expressing something close to an opposite of the Jimi Hendrix Woodstock sentiment using a style that was a direct homage to his performance. The only piece of context we kept from that moment in the history of 1960s counterculture was the idea that the national anthem can be played as an act of defiance. We were in a pretty defiant mood during the waning months of 2001.
- I remember hearing for almost the first time America the Beautiful sung outside of a school context and thinking that this was strange but not being able to explain why. I've grown to think since then that the song ties patriotic sentiment to religious sentiment in a way that the national anthem doesn't. People returned to churches in droves after 9/11; I think there was a sense of safety in it for them.
Social media and roadside signs alike are covered with a particular slogan lately: Never forget. The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear this slogan is an old platitude: that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. When we admonish ourselves to remember 9/11, what elements of history are we hoping not to repeat? The grave and senseless tragedy of the attack itself? Our national reaction to it? Our complicity in the foundation of bin Laden's terrorist organization, which having defeated the Soviets turned and bit the American hand that had once fed it?
Bruce Sterling wrote a novel called Zenith Angle, largely about the dotcom crash and 9/11. He concluded the book on an optimistic note, suggesting that if the great global conflict was between technocrats and cave-dwellers, victory for the technocrats was an essentially foregone conclusion. A battle worth fighting, certainly; but also a battle with a certain outcome.
Osama bin Laden wasn't a cave-dweller, though. He lived out his final years in a walled suburban compound with TV and other modern conveniences, passing notes out to his criminal organization through trusted couriers just like Mafia dons in Italy and America. The only difference between him and them is that he was trading in geopolitical chaos and terror, while they were trading in money and vice.
This is the man we saw as a useful idiot in Afghanistan in the 1980s; we paid him, we trained him, we used him to beat the Soviets even though we never believed in his ideology and never wanted his vision for that country to shape it after the Soviets had left. We just didn't concern ourselves with the long-term outcome for the Afghan people, because we weren't intervening in Afghanistan for the sake of Afghans; we were intervening there because it was strategically advantageous for us to do so in the context of the Cold War.
We aren't stamping out cave-dwellers here. We're fighting committed, well-funded, and militant ideologues who believe that the primacy of their religious and political agenda is worth any number of deaths. They want open warfare because they see it as an avenue toward their desired outcomes; ten years ago they provoked us into giving them that avenue. The cost has been very high, and we're still continuing to pay it today.
The thing is, I don't think that all people who say "never forget" and mean it are thinking in terms of learning from history. The slogan isn't that open-ended, it's more specific than that. When we say "never forget," part of what we mean is that we should honor our dead and continue to mourn them. We also mean that we should maintain that particular sense of national unity and resolve we arrived at in reaction to the 9/11 attacks.
This in turn makes me think about how Rahm Emanuel caught shit a couple of years ago for repeating a very old political truth to the New York Times: "You don't ever want a crisis to go to waste. It's an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid." In the end that quote speaks to what I remember most strongly about 9/11: How much it shocked all of us, how our reaction as a nation in shock took us to places we would never have gone otherwise. When we say "never forget" not as students of history but as sorrowful patriots, we are encouraging an artificial perpetuation of that national crisis moment.
To what end?

I know that to a lot of people (not everyone), the "never forget" slogan was all about this:
"Never forget how fucking pissed off, angry and hateful we were on 9/11. Don't allow a cushion of time to make you soft. Don't start questioning yourself over why we're attacking other countries and seeking revenge for something we don't truly understand. Always remember why this is how it has to be!"
I mean, I thought that was understood and implied. Maybe I'm crazy though.

Do we still have the thread from the old forum for that day? This forum got me through a lot of that grieving time, because everyone else I knew was in the "Let's go bomb some brown people" camp, and I wasn't so it was a very isolating experience.
That was like a month after my parents decided to file for divorce, a month after I started college in New Orleans, and a few weeks after I talked to my dad before I cut him out of my life for being a complete asshole.
August 2001 to August 2002 was probably the worst year of my life. And so I think whenever I think of 9/11 it's the tragedy plus all of the baggage of that time.

We'll see how far I get before one kid or another starts pulling on me...
I was about 2 weeks into my first year of law school on 9/11. Just moved across country away from all of my friends, from the place I had lived for 29 years.
I walked into my first class of the morning and people were chattering about something happening. Our professor walked in and said, "some planes hit the World Trade Center, things will be much worse tomorrow, so I am going to go ahead with class right now." 5 minutes later, someone walked in and said that all classes were cancelled.
Watched the news in the hall at school where someone had dragged out a TV. Then went home with a friend and watched it there.
My mom called, worried about how close I was to the plane that went down in central PA. Had to inform her that I was much closer to NYC, even though I was in the state of PA.
The only two songs that came out in the next year that I thought adequately dealt with what happened were "Makeshift Patriot" and "Solidarity" by a band called Abilene.
The racism that has followed over the past 10 years makes me ill, and has probably affected how I have dealt with the whole situation.
The first time I cried about anything 9/11 related was listening to an NPR piece talking about what people were doing on 9/10. Ted Olson talked for about 3 minutes. He was solicitor general under Bush II. You may know him now as one of the two attorneys who filed the case against Prop. 8 in CA. He said that his birthday is on 9/11 and his wife was supposed to fly across country the evening of 9/10. She decided to stay to have dinner with him for his birthday on the evening of 9/10, and left the next morning. She ended up on the plane that went into the Pentagon.
That being said, I haven't watched anything 9/11 related today, and still generally can't get with the a lot of the sentiment that goes along with 9/11.

I happened to be watching the news casually in between classes and remember vividly the range of emotions I felt from the "this just in..." to the heartwrenching conclusion. One thing that stuck with me was the realization that as a country we are vulnerable and our armor isn't as thick as we thought it was. During the attacks, and reports about the pentagon, I was thinking "wait...we're under attack? And are we losing?
What if we lose
?" I felt like we are much weaker than I thought we were. This was further ingrained on me during Katrina. In both situations, I can't help but picture those who are in charge looking at each other with wide eyes like "Umm..what do we do?" instead of "Damn...no problem. I got this." I'm worried that our bureaucracy is more about how a situation is perceived rather than what it really is. This goes further into "leaders" and how they are in a position giving an appearance of confidence and expertise, only to crawl into the fetal position when tested. The sad part is that it is inevitable we will be tested again in some way (attacks, hurricanes, economics, tragedies, etc), but I'm worried we aren't learning from ourselves after these things happen.

I have a rather troubling story about what 9/11 means to me now. I am writing about it for another reason now, so I thought I'd share it here:
During my third year of university (2008), I took a course on cross-cultural studies. I along with two other students were given an assignment to deliver a research paper and oral presentation about how gender is viewed in three other cultures. I was assigned to a group with a guy from New Jersey (we'll call him Tim) and a girl from Colorado (we'll call her Sarah).
As most of you know, college students procrastinate on their assignments. In this case, Tim, Sarah and myself were no different. A week before this project is due (entire research paper + complete oral presentation) we all met to work on it. Somewhere between this meeting and the night before the project is due, Tim gets the idea that we should somehow combine the topics of how in some Islamic cultures the rights of females are suppressed (one or two Islamic countries were included into the scope of our work) and how he was influenced by the attacks from (some) Islamic terrorists having grown up just outside of New York City in New Jersey.
Not much of a connection between those two topics, right? This part of the story brings up a lot of bad memories for reasons that will be evident very soon, but I implicitly agreed to Tim's suggestion to make this connection between the suppression of woman's rights and his experiences after 9/11. Sarah did not put up much of an argument either and our lack of disapproval was considered deemed as approval from Tim. Neither of us knew what would happen next...
The day of the presentation arrives and Tim is second in our orientation of speakers. We barely did any preparation for this this oral presentation and I sent Tim the final version of the presentation for him to do edits. I am first. Sarah is third. I give my bit (I don't recall what I said, but it was non-controversial) and then it was Tim's turn to present. Dressed in a suit, Tim gave his part of the presentation which included an old photo of his friend that had passed away in the 9/11 attacks. Tim also included photos of bloodied people who were running around in fear during the attacks. He made that half-assed, backward argument that somehow the 9/11 attacks by Islamic terrorists had anything to do with the rights of woman in Islamic countries.
As you can guess, this was really fucked up. It shocked the professor and the entire class. One girl has to leave the class in anger. While I can't speak for him, I can surmise that he thought our professor would buy the connection between the suppression of woman's rights and the lose of life during the 9/11 attacks because of how much emotional weight 9/11 hold in American culture. Our professor (as a Dutchman, not an American), did not buy it.
The story goes further, but this is basically the gist of it. Tim thought he could pull on the heart strings of a university professor and the emotional lose he felt years earlier to avoid doing real and substantial research on the topic of gender in other cultures. He thought that since it was a second year class, he could bullshit it by bringing 9/11 into the conversation.
To go back to what Sage pointed out earlier in response to Mark's post, the phrase "never forget" also seems to represent some sort of righteousness that some Americans feel because of the 9/11 attacks. As if the subsequent aftermath of the attacks can be used as a card that justifies the individuals actions, whatever they may be.
This particular memory in 2008 is what I think of more than what I felt on September 11, 2011.

I'm really glad that I sent that e-mail this morning. I almost didn't but after the fourth or fifth time I played Makeshift Patriot it really hit me - That song is the only thing that makes me feel any sort of emotion about that day. I'm thankful that there is a song to which I can turn that provokes healthy emotion that isn't hateful or reactionary. There are millions who don't have that luxury, who will only ever think about how mad everyone was after the attacks..
I was a junior in high school. Teacher was late, came in and said, "The World Trade Center was hit by an airplane. I just saw another plane hit the other building. We're under attack and things are never going to be the same." One kid laughed and got kicked out of class, the rest of us sat in stunned silence. Oddly, when JFK was shot the girl sitting behind my mother in class started laughing upon hearing the news as well.
The planes flew out of Boston, and going to the fancy pants private high school in Central Mass, a couple kids lost loved ones. One kid lost his Dad. It was weird having that happen two years after another classmate lost his father in the Worcester Cold Storage fire.
Two days later with all air traffic grounded, I was in the passenger seat of a car that hit a 100-year old oak tree. We were going seventy miles per hour. Thankfully I was ten miles from a small hospital where I was stabilized before being rushed to UMass. Had Life Flight been active, I might not have spent the next two weeks in a coma.
My birthday is September 18th. That makes three days in a week etched permanently. Needless to say.. it's somewhat surreal to think about.
A major reason I have trouble feeling anything on September 11th is because I was in a coma, hospitalized, and in rehab for the next three months. I was decently sheltered much of the coverage. That which I did see was typically sensationalist and unnerving.
I've written a lot. Thanks for reading, and thanks again for the song, Frank. It's really important to me.

I was a 17-year-old junior well on my way to dropping out of high school but I was in class, American Government class, strangely, in fact, that morning. We turned on the TV, if I remember correctly, shortly before or maybe it was shortly after the second plane I had hit. I don't really remember. I remember that it did not take them very long to start showing pictures of Bin Laden's face next to the burning towers. I remember putting my head down on my desk but I don't remember what I was feeling. I remember thinking that I was seeing people dying live on TV and that thought was disquieting.
Most strikingly, there was a student teacher in the class who had just moved to Iowa City from New York City. Her last job had been in the World Trade Center just some weeks before. I remember her beginning to cry on the opposite side of the classroom and I remember that some people were giggling at her. Just high school kid shit. Mean, mean as hell, but not really understanding. I think it turned out later that she knew something like 40 people that had died, like everyone she used to work with. She quit the school and I don't know what happened to her. It didn't hit me until years later what an intense and kind of bizarre experience that was. I was just one degree of separation away from what was happening. In her life the tragedy was immediate as to everyone else in the room it was not. It didn't click until much later.
When I think about how it psychologically affected me I don't really know how to do the math. I was discovering drugs and falling deeply for hip-hop and becoming exposed to a lot of new people and ideas of a lot of stripes at that point in my life. I had never really thought that much about things like the government and war, except in the context of the medieval history I had devoured as a child, but my concept of that kind of war was fantastic and legendary and didn't have much to do with the politics of it. I felt a vague and general 'patriotic' sensation but I didn't feel any real threat to myself, and the pure adolescent contrarianism I was embodying at the point in my life as I lashed out against what I was beginning to perceive as oppressive institutions...schools, corporations, the government...with of course a pathetically incomplete understanding of what I was even upset about or rallying against. Very Rage Against the Machine. So I hopped on board with the conspiracy movement right away. The fuck Bush movement, I took those cues from my family. Any actual frustration or rage I felt about the events I channeled toward the administration and the powers that be in the situation - they seemed so much more tangible and threatening than Al-Qaeda, regardless of who was ultimately responsible for the attack itself. I felt and still feel the Patriot Act was and is a larger attack on the American people and our freedom than 9/11 was...to see it pushed through on sentiment, to see the world becoming what I think many of us saw as just cartoonishly Orwellian around me...well, I became the frothing at the mouth hard left pot smoking rap spittin young gutterpunk that would eventually become me, in short. Makeshift Patriot made me aware of SFR and that obviously changed my life. And I really didn't want war. I saw the whole thing happening, I saw those of the people I knew who were all too willing and ready to suit up before the invasion was even really in motion. The anti-war movement, back in the days of its birth, back when we thought we might stop them, for all the good it did us, probably was a much more formative time in my life than I've ever really stopped to think about now. I've consumed and spat forth a lot of ignorance and a lot of inexcusable behavior because of 9/11 - on the first anniversary my friends and I took ecstasy and stole a large number of the American flags people had put out on their porches. We burned a big pile of them in the cemetary - kept the most mutilated for display for a long time...what did that mean? Why? I still don't know. Steve Jordan lost his virginity that night to the girl I wanted to lose mine to that night. I remember them making out in the back of my car. Does that matter? I dunno, I remember though. I think that maybe on the whole the events that would follow 9/11 gave me a nudge towards becoming a more aware and conscious person, even if the avenue I took to that conclusion was path of senseless juvenile rebellion and anger, so if that's the case, for that blessing I'm grateful.

As a people, everyone got nicer for a minute, but they've been getting meaner and sadder ever since, every year.
On 9/11 my coworker called and woke me up to tell me what was happening. I said, "What do you want me to do about it?" and tried to go back to sleep. I'd been asleep for MAYBE an hour? I tried to go to work. The mall I worked in was closed, but we had still managed to sell one copy of the Blueprint.
I lived with someone that was in the reserves, and his wife. They were pretty freaked out. We didn't have an antenna or anything for our TV, we didn't watch the news or have cable, so we had to borrow an old set of bunny ears to watch the news with.
I watched the news off and on, but mostly i stayed in my headphones, spinning vinyl on my turntables and making a bunch of cassette mixtapes that i sent out to friends over the following weeks.
It was weird and bleak.

I was in 7th grade at the time, and the day is mostly a blur at this point. I remember leaving school after hearing about it and going to a friend's to skateboard/stay away from all the chaos. Needless to stay, I break my arm pretty badly and the rest of the day is a swirl of pain, morphine induced hallucinations and constant replays of people dying in front of my eyes in the ER. I also distinctly remember some douche bag nurse taunting me with apple juice because I couldn't have anything to drink until all of the tests were done on me. There I was trying to wrap my head around what exactly was happening in our country, having an overwhelming sense of dread, tripping balls while in pain and this guy is messing with me a clearly distraught middle schooler. For the next few days I was stuck at home recovering and just constantly watched and read about what was going on. I didn't want to base my opinions off of the initial anger I'd felt because even as a youngin' I realized I didn't know shit.

I am a sophomore. I have a 90% chance a making varsity at my school, but that means that i will be playing guys a lot stronger than me. I can handle it because i play with a bunch a older cats at the YMCA all the time. I'm not really used to scoring a lot but i have a good jump shot and I'm pretty quick. My coach told me today that he wants me scoring in double figures almost every game. I told me, " You play too passive, I want you to think shoot first, pass second." I never heard a coach say that before. I need to know, what moves i can use to beat a man 1 on 1 without dragging a help defender. Its easy when i play 1 on 1 with just me and someone else but I don't know what to do when i play with 9 others and spacing becomes limited.
Jab step... if you jab once with your strong foot and they don't react then go right by them.
If they slide over towards that side then fake that way and go the other way.
If they sag off then you have an open J.
You could use your team mates. Have a pick set,and pass and cut to the hoop ( alot of times we mve faster without the ball). If not, dribbling skill may need to be kicked to the next level. Change levels and speeds on your opponent. Take it hard to go by them, as soon as you got them on their heels, pull up, take your shot. or pull up, pump fake, step through and take our shot. Keep practicing your one on one, but challenge yourself by setting scoring move goals. Try and score on your opponent in 4 moves, than 3 moves, and so and so forth. Good luck and have a great year.
Some people say that fadeaways are overrated, but being able to cross someone up, make them look like a fool and then pulling up for a jump shot is a great way to pull off a good shot while not driving (having a help defender come).

Draw a scatter plot for the following set of data:
Looks like we've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty.
...and whosits and whatsits galore.
Determine if the following scatter plot shows positive correlation, negative correlation, or no correlation.
No correlation.
Positive correlation.
As the temperature becomes warmer, June is able to spend more time outside.
This statement is talking about two variables: temperature, and length of time June spends outside. If she's wearing enough SPF, she may even stay outside the entire month of June. We wouldn't recommend it, though.
Do these two variables have positive correlation, negative correlation, or no correlation?
As the number of wolves in the forest increases, the number of deer in the forest decreases.
What are the two variables being discussed here? Do they have positive correlation, negative correlation, or no correlation?
The variables are the number of wolves and the number of deer. They've got a negative correlation. The deer definitely find this correlation to be negative.
Every day the weatherwoman predicts the high temperature for the day. Every day Loren records the high temperature of the day according to his thermometer. As far as Loren can tell, the weatherwoman's prediction has nothing to do with the actual high temperature for the day.
The variables are the predicted high temperature and the actual high temperature. No correlation. That weatherwoman should lose her job. Even if her name is a delightfully perfect "Misty Spritz."

So I tried this with PMS and Tversity. They use to play mpg files and now they don't. What is even more weird is I play the movie, the screen is black and no sound. However if I wait a bit I can fast forward through the movie but if I try and stop to play the movies it just stands at that spot. It is quite odd. The files in question use to work just fine last month and now they don't. Please help.

STOCKTON - A simple traffic stop turned into a more complex investigation early Tuesday after California Highway Patrol officers discovered evidence of identity theft and fraud, authorities said.
Officers stopped Patricico Patterson, 46, about 12:55 a.m. near West Harding Way and North Center Street for driving a motorcycle with expired registration, the Highway Patrol said. During the traffic stop, officers learned Patterson was on probation, authorities said, allowing officials to search him.
While searching Patterson, officers discovered forged checks, bank account statements, driver's licenses and Social Security cards bearing other people's names and photographs, the CHP said. Officers later searched Patterson's laptop computer, a thumb drive and his cellphone, where they found more evidence of identity theft, including a computer program that allowed Patterson to alter driver's licenses by replacing names and photos, authorities said.
Patterson was arrested on suspicion of identity theft and forgery, the CHP said.

@ wfaulk: Tags updated ("vnc" instead of "vcn"); sorry for my mistake and thank you for your clarification.
App updated, indeed.
It would have been helpful if you had tagged it as a "vnc" client instead of a "vcn" client. That way it would have shown up in relation to Jollys. I've suggested "vnc" as a tag.
Thanks for the pointer anyway.
Very important: I'm not the "owner" of this app; just want to advise to the community about this great VCN client.

I for one think that it will be another mediocre year for the huskers. The offense will put up solid numbers against non-ranked opponents(hopefully) and get whooped by anybody in the top 25. The defense is going to suck ass all season and allow some large numbers to be put up. My bet is a 7-5 season this year...at best.

Monday's letters: Need new leaders
Published: Monday, March 24, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 21, 2014 at 7:28 p.m.
To the editor: We have an important election on May 6 for our Henderson County commissioners, and we need to elect a commissioner who not only believes in limited government, but also has the small-business experience needed to effectively and efficiently manage and allocate our tax dollars.
We need a commissioner who believes that county government can play a role in improving public education, who has a vision for Henderson County and who will require our local government to have a current strategic plan. We need new ideas and representation from a younger generation of leaders. Andrew Riddle needs our vote for Henderson County Commissioner.

Re-elect McGrady
To the editor: Martin Luther King Jr. said, The time is always right to do what is right. I have known and worked with Rep. Chuck McGrady for 20 years, first as friend and then as a county commissioner and then as a North Carolina state representative. Have we agreed on every issue? Of course not! Friends can agree to disagree, but Chuck always listened to my point of view. Sometimes he changed to my way of thinking, and sometimes he did not.
He has always had the best interest and intentions to make Henderson County and the state of North Carolina the envy of other counties and states. A county and state that we all could be proud of. Where everyone had opportunities to be successful and have a quality of life, second to none. Chuck never to my knowledge ever failed to listen to people with differing views. Compassion for others and the willingness to tackle tough issues are just a couple of Chucks strong points. There are so many compelling reasons why Chuck McGrady should continue to be our state representative.
The time is right for all us to do what is right re-elect Chuck McGrady.
Sheriff George H. Erwin Jr. (Retired)
Both sides wrong
To the editor: I was thinking lately about our current political process. Entrenched, uncooperative conservatives stopping any forward movement to solve our problems. Ineffectual, concession-seeking progressives trying to make everyone happy, and the people of America get it in the neck as always! We will foolishly either vote in a let the rich have everything trickle down conservative or get another dithering progressive.
I have a 13-year-old son. Your leadership has put him and his generation into debt and a dismal future. I would die for my son this will not stand! We cant trash the programs that have allowed us to be one of the most just, safe and secure nations on the planet. Yet we cant keep spending (borrowing) like there is no tomorrow. Greed and disregard for everything other than profit is the problem (always has been). Getting involved and regulation of corporate behavior are the solutions.
Tax the rich, rein in the wasteful spending (people are not waste). Third party maybe. Taking to the streets probably. Sitting in front of your TV fat, medicated, ignorant? Both sides are trying to fool and control you, and judging by the state of affairs, its working.

Addiction a killer
To the editor: On Feb. 23, Emily Weaver had a most revealing article on the epidemic of painkiller abuse, and its prelude to heroin. The article was on the Sunday front page where no one could miss it, but how many read it?
My youngest brother died from an overdose of OxyContin 12 hours after being released from a hospital in Florida with another prescription for the painkiller, which he filled on the way home, despite the doctor knowing of his addiction. He was just 59 years old. As another writer recently asked, why is it our doctors do not seem to care about this insidious addiction and continue to perpetuate it?
In 2010, the year my brother died, there were 6,000 deaths in the state of Florida due to painkiller overdoses. Do not think N.C., or Henderson County, cannot reach this horrendous statistic.
Doctors, pharmacists and families of those suffering from alcoholism, and/or addiction to prescription drugs need to stop avoiding the problem, get informed, and get help for their loved ones before its too late!
We commend Anna Huneycutts mother for sharing her painful experience in Weavers article, and hope others who read it will be forewarned about this life-threatening problem.

Beware of chemical
To the editor: Springtime is a time many dogs find new homes.
Last May, I lost my gorgeous blue merle Pomeranian named Lucy to canine lymphoma at age 5½. I firmly believe that Lucy was exposed to herbicides containing Agent 2,4-D.
There are reports that link Agent 2,4-D to canine lymphoma (www.beyond pesticides.org). These herbicides are found on lawns, golf courses, parks, rest areas as well as agriculture.
Lucy was the bravest dog I know. She underwent 13 chemos paid for with the help of friends and grants and went into remission for seven months before the cancer returned.
Pets owners, please heed this warning, thus making Lucys life even more worthwhile.

About the Book
Universally lauded poet Robert Hass offers a stunning, wide-ranging collection of essays on art, imagination, and the natural world—with accompanying photos throughout.
What Light Can Do is a magnificent companion piece to the former U.S. Poet Laureate's Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning poetry collection, Time and Materials, as well as his earlier book of essays, the NBCC Award-winner Twentieth Century Pleasures. Haas brilliantly discourses on many of his favorite topics—on writers ranging from Jack London to Wallace Stevens to Allen Ginsberg to Cormac McCarthy; on California; and on the art of photography in several memorable pieces—in What Light Can Do, a remarkable literary treasure that might best be described as "luminous."
An evocative and captivating collection of essays on writers, place, poetry, and photography—with accompanying photos throughout—from Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Robert Hass
Renowned for his magisterial verse, Robert Hass is also a brilliant essayist. The New York Times hailed him as a writer who "is so intelligent that to read his poetry or prose, or to hear him speak, gives one an almost visceral pleasure." Now, with What Light Can Do, Hass's first collection of essays in more than twenty-five years, the lauded author returns to and enlarges the territory of his critically acclaimed and much-loved collection Twentieth Century Pleasures, recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
These acute and deeply engaging essays are as much a portrait of the elegant thought processes of an unconventional and virtuoso mind as they are inquiries into their subjects, which range from meditations on how we see and how we have treated the earth, to the relationship between literature and religion, from explorations of the works of writers as diverse as Korean poet Ko Un, Wallace Stevens, Cormac McCarthy, and Anton Chekhov to the ways in which photography embodies—much like an essay—a sustained act of attention.
A perceptive and evocative mixture of memory, philosophical interrogation, and criticism, the essays in What Light Can Do, finely attuned to the pleasures and pains of being human, are always grounded in the beauty of the material world and its details, and in the larger political and social realities we inhabit.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Drawn to compelling subjects that he makes his own, Hass writes prose every bit as zestful, penetrating, and sure-footed as his poetry. . . This powerful collection affirms Hass' stature as a philosophically attentive observer, deep thinker, and writer who dazzles and rousts." — Booklist
