COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Steve Spurrier will likely match Paul "Bear" Bryant this weekend in total wins -- at South Carolina.
A victory against Wofford on Saturday will tie Spurrier with Bryant for the most wins by a Gamecocks coach with 64. Spurrier remains the winningest coach in Florida history with 122 victories. Bryant holds the record for most wins at Alabama (232) and at Kentucky (60).
Bryant and Spurrier rank 1-2 in several categories in the Southeastern Conference record book.
Spurrier is second with 122 SEC victories, 37 behind Bryant. His six SEC titles are eight behind Bryant.
Spurrier says he hasn't thought about the record and says he will leave comparisons between him and Bryant to others.

Infographic: When Am I Going To Use This
October 24th, 2011 by Dan Meyer
2011 Oct 25: The action on Twitter indicates that few people are looking past the infographic itself before mashing the retweet button so let me put this out in front: I think it's a losing game to share this image with math students.
Another day, another provider of online degrees looking to boost their PageRank by trading some trinket for a link. (Link responsibly.) In this case, we have an infographic from Rasumussen College. Click for larger.
A couple of quick ones on this:
- I just don't think you can ask a student to endure twelve years of frustrating math instruction now with the promise of a job making $70k as an architect later. It isn't just kids who are lousy at delaying gratification like this, it's everybody. And you're asking them to do more than delay gratification. You're asking them to delay gratification and embrace something they dislike. Tell me to put down the maple bar for the sake of a healthy heart later and I might — might! — accommodate you. Tell me to put down the maple bar and lick a cactus instead and I'll definitely tell you where you can shove your infographic.
- Good news about learning second-year algebra and trigonometry, though. It seems you're well-positioned for a career teaching second-year algebra and trigonometry. (See also: careers in physics.)
- A week ago, Jason Buell took on the tortured concept of the "real world," particularly as it relates to due dates but also in the sense that everyone's real world is different and immediate. I'm posting his last paragraph because it's exactly right:
The other is that our students are living in the real world right now. There is nothing more real to a student than right now. Their friends, their enemies, their greatest loves and biggest heartbreaks, their passions, their hopes and their dreams are wrapped up in a few buildings, a quad area, and a blacktop. Saying this isn't "the real world" diminishes everything there is about a student. Stop preparing kids for the real world and prepare them for right now.
2011 Oct 24. This post is doing way more harm than good apparently.

No Engineers or Scientists on the infographic?
on 24 Oct 2011 at 11:24 am2 Eric B
I haven't checked but maybe Rasumussen College doesn't have science or engineering programs? It wouldn't surprise me if they only include jobs they offer relevant degrees for.
Wait. Approx. 1/3 of a lawyer's job requires geometry? Huh?
Dan's meta point is a good one. There's no question that students continue to ask, "When will I ever use this?"…but "later" isn't much of an answer.

Hahahahaha. I love the lawyers being on there.
The reason we have far too many (see news stories about current oversupply and the pumping out of more and more new grads) and far too many people taking the LSAT when they don't know what they want to be when they grow up is BECAUSE the test has no math on it! There are logical reasoning sections which are math-y or math-esque, but in the form of wordy questions about the brown horse being next to the white horse but never next to the pinto horse in the stall, so where is the black horse in the barn…
Decades of confused and sad liberal arts grads with little to no math in college end up as lawyers. Of course, once they're practicing lawyers, they wish they had more facility with numbers, in the accounting and stats genre. Never heard a lawyer lament his/her lack of trig or calc knowledge.
Many of them also seem to not have realized that if you can't get a job you can't pay off 100K plus in loans. :-(
on 24 Oct 2011 at 12:25 pm5 Jen
And where are the doctors? They've got more required math by far than lawyers.

Ugh–not only is the info simultaneously ridiculous and depressing but it's not even a well-done graphical representation. Wonder what Edward Tufte (http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/) would say about this figure?
With most (…and I'm stereotyping here) of my pupils wanting to be musicians, beauticians/models, pro sports players, or do their part to change the world working for an npo… we are left with the original question: 'When am I going to use this?'.
This, and so many other posters I see, are not engaging for today's youth culture.
Until we invoke attitude more strongly – in ways more emotive than 12 years of delayed gratification – we we struggling to engage the masses. Yes, I am now a teacher, but at 16 I had no clue what I wanted to do.
on 24 Oct 2011 at 7:37 pm8 Kirk
Love the quote on the real world. I am going to share this with as many teachers as I can
Lawyers "use" Geometry because that's the course where the U.S. puts most of its propositional logic standards.
On a side note, look how desperate those tweeters are for an answer to "when are we going to have to use this?" They wont even read your post!
Who says we have to answer that question? I agree, Dan, when you say they're not *really* asking that question.
"When are we going to use this?" = "I'm bored" or "I'm stuck"
Its one of the phrases that should send alarm bells through a teacher's head that the student is not engaged.
A student of mine said this to me while I did the Ticket Roll problem, Dan. It caught me off guard; here was a student that hadn't complained at all when we were sludging through abstract functions, compositions, domain and range, and yet when we do something close to tangible, she rebukes.
I think the question need not be answered. I told my student, "you wont ever need to use this." That answer may be more satisfying to them than anything else.
I like this bit from Banner & Cannon's "Elements of Teaching":
A teacher's confidence in the intrinsic worth of knowledge is fundamental to all instruction. Such deep-rooted belief makes a teacher able to relate knowledge to life, to all human experience. To students' typical questions, "Why do we have to learn this? What good is such knowledge?" the typical instrumental answers come to mind easily: "Because it's required by the school board." "Because you will do better on your licensing exam." "Because you'll need it later when you study economics." But the teacher with deep learning answers with conviction and authority more pertinently: "Because acquiring this knowledge is difficult. Because you will feel triumphant when it no longer confuses you. Because you will enjoy what you can do with it. Because in learning it you may discover new perspectives on life, new ways of thinking. Because its possession will make you more alive than its alternative, which is ignorance."

Here is an article that may help support this picture with some research.
on 25 Oct 2011 at 8:10 am12 Jason Dyer
Matt, quoting Banner & Cannon: Because in learning it you may discover new perspectives on life, new ways of thinking. Because its possession will make you more alive than its alternative, which is ignorance."
Any answer which does not address the specific mathematics being taught strikes me as incomplete. The same justification could be used for any topic. Why does it have to be this particular piece of learning? If our entire goal is to give perspectives on life, why not teach Go? Or problem solving in general? Or puzzles? Latin and Ancient Greek used to be taught with the same rhetoric applied, (about improving thought and stirring the soul and so forth) why not bring those back?
Jason: I agree, it's not a complete answer, but the book is about teaching in general, so they couldn't get too discipline-specific. That being said, I think it's about as complete as such a "general," discipline-independent answer can be.
on 25 Oct 2011 at 8:26 am14 Kathy sierra
@Jason : "Any answer which does not address the specific mathematics being taught strikes me as incomplete"
What if there IS no honest way to address the "specific mathematics"? I worked as a software developer for nearly a decade. The amount of math I had to use doing *that* fit on a single post-it.
Also, just wondering if any of you have read and have an opinion on Roger Schank's latest book: "Teaching Minds: how cognitive science can save our schools." He is more curmudgeonly than ever in this one, but it still breaks my heart to think he (and others) have been talking about this for decades, and nothing ever changes. (by *this* I mean *the need for teaching students to *think* as opposed to focusing on academic subjects).

This is a little off topic, I enjoy looking at how people display data, so even if this information was worthwhile, (which it's not), this has to be one of the worst displays of information I've ever seen. It not only is hard to follow it is not pleasant to look at. At least some other infographics while trivial are intriguing to look at. This one is supposedly from the same company that provided the graphic for Rasmussen: http://columnfivemedia.com/work-items/socialcast-infographic-education-2-0-2/
on 25 Oct 2011 at 9:31 am16 Rick Fletcher
These infographics are everywhere today – it demonstrates the need for us to teach students critical thinking. My biggest beef is with Twitter itself – the so-called "curators" who spend all day passing along links – they are the biggest purveyors of this kinda junk.
I use this metric – if someone has taken the time to create an "infographic" they are selling something. I know it sounds snarky but that's a neutral statement. Just know there is marketing at work and take a hard look at the source of the data and conclusions. They are almost always less than credible. The data is often spotty and even wrong but flawed conclusions almost always follow.
on 25 Oct 2011 at 10:24 am17 Ben Wildeboer
As an instructor, when I hear "When are we ever going to use this?" it's a call to improve my instruction.
Ideally the project or activity in class will be designed in such a way that students want to solve the problem and need to figure out some math or other concept in order to complete the project.
Obviously that's pretty hard to do on an every day basis, but that's the goal- and that's what I see you doing, Dan, with WCYDWT, AnyQs, & Three Acts: Designing interesting situations that motivate students as a result of that interesting-ness without needing to resort to insisting that they'll need it just in case they decide to go into theoretical physics.

Why complicate things? My favorite reason to do math is fun. Seriously. Make that your premise and prove it throughout the year.
As a high school math teacher in Philadelphia, I get the, "When am I ever going to use this?" question an awful lot. I decided to address it, you can read my response to this question here: http://books.google.com/books?id=an2pJdV4H38C&lpg=PA1&pg=PA35#v=onepage&q&f=false

Love the post and the comments from everyone. I was one of the people on Twitter mashing the retweet button before reading "beyond the infographic." I really appreciate your points in this post, along with the suggestion of looking at the source who produces the graphic. This is just another reason I love this blog in that Dan is not only changing the way we think about teaching math but also changing how we think about the subject of math itself.

This chart is evil. The beauty and wonder of mathematics is reduced to a set of discrete, quantifiable "math concepts," as if they are appliances that can be plugged into one's personal job skill-set. And the graphic design is downright obfuscatory. What are the different lengths of the rulers that function as career labels supposed to represent? They seem partly to display some sort of proportion of courses required in each subject, but then there's the big yellow label. Are the starting and beginning points of each label supposed to be the typical range of required math courses? It's completely unclear.
@Matt, that is a fantastic quote. Math is beautiful and interesting, just like any other subject worth knowing. It also happens to be useful. But that's not why it should be taught or learnt.

You've got me thinking about the powerful role that visual images play in changing/reinforcing perceptions.
The guys at occupydesign.org have created a series of images to harness this concept and use them as tools for change.
What images (memes) could we use to change the world of maths education? Do we even have a shared view of what good maths teaching looks like in our times (the digital age)?
ps I appreciate your modification of the infoG – the next Lolcatz? ;)

Rasumussen College just needs to flash it up a bit . . .
The guy teaching next door to me has a poster of a corvette with "Did Math" on the license plate hot-roddin' down the road.
That'll motivate them to do the 10 page packet of pre-algebra review problems!
Maybe a poster of a mansion on Did Math Drive, Mathville, GA 31415 would get them to memorize their multiplication tables?

Late to the game, but I don't think anyone else commented on this — the first thing I noticed was that there seems to be zero correlation between math concepts and income on this chart. Kinda makes you want to be an aircraft pilot.
Plus, why are some labels bigger than others? Weird.

When do they use it? Go to the bathroom and estimate how long it is until we need a new roll.
Then we ask the custodians how long a roll lasts. We talk about how to make a system so that we never run out of toilet paper again.

One point people miss in these debates: school is not some kind of vocational college. Students aren't just being outfitted for real life, they are simultaneously discovering it. If we stopped teaching any particular subject, students will never again get a chance to discover it, never get a taste of things that may well become their life's mission. Kids discover cells, war history, debating, sports AND maths and sciences through their experiences at school, only to go on and pick just ONE thing up for a career. I have never used chemistry or biology or history or Japanese in real life: but I am grateful I was given a chance to see all of these. No amount graphing or "demographing" can disprove the need for teaching anything less than flat out _everything_ in school.

San Francisco Bay Area metallers SYSTEMATIC have set "Pleasure To Burn" as the title for their sophomore CD, due in early 2003 through Elektra Records. The album — the group's first to feature ex-SLAYER drummer Paul Bostaph and former ECHO 3/MAXIMUM PENALTY bassist John Mark Bechtel (a.k.a. Johnny Chow) — is being produced by Howard Benson, who has previously worked with P.O.D., MOTÖRHEAD, SEPULTURA and CRAZY TOWN, among others."[The title] is really open to interpretation, and being into good hard rock bands, it kind of has that feel to it!!! So there ya go!!" guitarist Adam Ruppell stated via the band's official web site. "We also are working on some contests, one being artwork for t-shirts and other shit. So take the album title and come up with some cool shit. You never know where your images could end up. So we will let you know where to send stuff, when to get it in by, and what the reward will be!!!"

What impressed me was the behavior of the woman, Grushenka. When it became clear that they were judging him, she sprang to his defense and shrieked, "Judge us together!…Punish us together, I'll go with him now even to execution!" (457). It was as if she, before all others, understood that we are all guilty for one another. Just as Magdalene was the first to see Christ resurrected, so now is a woman the first to see the resurrected Dmitri. Women are ahead of us in understanding the power of love, don't you think?

AbstractNowadays, research on Vehicular Technology aims at automating every single mechanical element of vehicles, in order to increase passengers' safety, reduce human driving intervention and provide entertainment services on board. Automatic trajectory tracing for vehicles under especially risky circumstances is a field of research that is currently gaining enormous attention. In this paper, we show some results on how to develop useful policies to execute maneuvers by a vehicle at high speeds with the mathematical optimization of some already established mobility conditions of the car. We also study how the presence of Gaussian noise on measurement sensors while maneuvering can disturb motion and affect the final trajectories. Different performance criteria for the optimization of such maneuvers are presented, and an analysis is shown on how path deviations can be minimized by using trajectory smoothing techniques like the Kalman Filter. We finalize the paper with a discussion on how communications can be used to implement these schemes.
Keywords: vehicle safety; optimum control; optimum maneuvering

Everton scored twice in injury time to come from behind and beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the Premier League at Goodison Park.
With a quarter of an hour remaining in a scrappy match on Merseyside, USA international Dempsey hit a long-range effort off Sylvain Distin that looped in over Tim Howard.
But as 90 minutes ticked past, a fine header from Steven Pienaar levelled for the hosts, before Nikica Jelavic scored a poacher's finish at the death to put the Toffees fourth ahead of Spurs on goal difference.
Everton had arguably edged the match in terms of chances, but Spurs – led by Moussa Dembele – had the better of the passing stats and created some decent chances.
David Moyes's side welcomed back Kevin Mirallas and Seamus Coleman after several games out with injury, while Darron Gibson stood in for skipper Phil Neville.
Spurs meanwhile were missing talismanic winger Gareth Bale, out with a hamstring injury, with a formation switch seeing Emmanuel Adebayor partner Jermain Defoe up front.
Genuine chances were mostly limited by effective defending, the best of them falling to Everton as Hugo Lloris made an excellent stop at the feet of Jelavic, while Steven Caulker blocked a goal-bound finish from Leon Osman.
Boos rang out after the half-time whistle was blown, although they were misdirected at referee Kevin Friend, with replays showing he was correct to reject two penalty appeals from Everton late in the half - Dempsey took a Jan Vertonghen clearance on the chest while William Gallas kept his arms by his side when a Pienaar shot spun up into his midriff.
There was a half-time change for the Toffees as Mirallas was replaced by Steven Naismith, a precautionary measure with the Belgian feeling the hamstring that had kept him out for four matches.
Naismith's first act was to put a close-range reaction finish wide after a low follow-up drive from Leighton Baines, whose free-kick had been blocked, while Jelavic had an effort blocked by a flying Gallas as Everton started the second half with intent.
Spurs responded with a spell of possession that yielded a string of corners and a Vertonghen free-kick that Tim Howard tipped over.
Chances were at a premium after that initial burst of activity, Osman firing one effort well over as neither keeper was tested around the hour mark.
The hosts were not helped by an ineffectual performance by usual danger-man Marouane Fellaini, who struggled to make an impact as Sandro hassled and harried him in midfield, with Gallas and Caulker largely managing his aerial threat up front.
The game was starting to get punctuated by niggly fouls, and was begging for a stroke of luck or lapse in concentration by one of the two well-marshalled defences.
A lapse did come as a poor clearance by Gallas landed to Osman, but Lloris did well to save his low drive; it was the stroke of luck that broke the deadlock as a long-range shot from Dempsey took a wicked deflection off Distin, leaving Howard for dead as it diverted into the goal.
Spurs then went defensive as they sought to resist the home side's late rally, but they almost doubled their lead when Gylfi Sigurdsson hit the bar after a counter attack.
But the visitors paid the price for beckoning Everton as, after a fine run and cross from Coleman, Pienaar flew in with a rare header that flew past an unsighted Lloris and into the bottom right.
Everton were not content with the point, piling men forward as the fourth official signalled at least four minutes of stoppage time.
Their bravery was rewarded as, after an attempted bicycle kick from substitute Vellios dropped on the edge of the six-yard box, Jelavic reacted quickest to stroke the finish past Lloris.

Galway 2-22 Cork 1-17: Shane Kavanagh
A delighted Galway captain Shane Kavanagh gives his reaction to Darren Frehill.
A delighted Galway captain Shane Kavanagh gives his reaction to Darren Frehill.
Full-back and captain Shane Kavanagh led by example as Galway won their first Allianz NHL Division 1 title since 2004, with a 2-22 to 1-17 victory over Cork at Semple Stadium.
Denis Hogan has been sparring with Drimnagh southpaw Jimmy Sweeney ahead of his third meeting with Ken Egan in just over a year at the National Stadium on Friday night.
Galway have been forced into one change for Sunday's All-Ireland quarter-final clash with Waterford with full-back Eugene McEntee replacing the injured Shane Kavanagh for the Semple Stadium encounter.
Galway's impressive All-Ireland SHC qualifier victory over Cork has come at a price with the news that full back Shane Kavanagh will be out of action for six weeks.
Defending champion John Joe Joyce believes that he will have his work cut out at the eagerly anticipated Irish Daily Star sponsored 2009 Elite National Senior Championships.

In Brief | Nation and World
Trail Blazers sign Wright, trade for Lopez, Robinson
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland Trail Blazers formally signed free agent small forward Dorell Wright and acquired center Robin Lopez and forward Thomas Robinson in trades, sealing three of several deals the team struck last week.
The Blazers got Lopez in a three-team trade with New Orleans and Sacramento that sent guard Tyreke Evans to the Pelicans and guard Greivis Vasquez to the Kings.
Lopez averaged 11.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.56 blocked shots in 82 starts last season with the Pelicans.
Portland also acquired guard Terrel Harris from the Pelicans in exchange for the draft rights to Jeff Withey, future second-round draft picks and cash.
The Blazers obtained Robinson in a trade with Houston for the rights to Kostas Papnikolaou and Marko Todorovic, as well as two future second-round picks.
Robinson was the fifth overall pick in last year's draft by the Sacramento Kings but he was dealt to Houston in a February trade. He played in 70 total games last season, averaging 4.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 15.1 minutes.
The Blazers on Wednesday also announced the signing of guard Allen Crabbe, the 31st pick out of California acquired by Portland in a draft night trade.
Crabbe averaged 15.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in three seasons with the Golden Bears.
Rangers RHP Darvish placed on disabled list with bad back
BALTIMORE — Right-hander Yu Darvish has been placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Texas Rangers and will miss the All-Star Game next week.
Darvish has a mild strain in his upper back. The move was announced Wednesday and is retroactive to July 6.
Darvish was scheduled to pitch against Baltimore on Thursday but has been scratched. He's 8-4 overall but has won only once in his last nine starts.
Darvish leads the majors with 157 strikeouts. He has a 3.02 ERA.
Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine says, "At this stage, it's not something we are really worried about." He says the injury "was a little more fatigue than anything."
In a statement, Darvish said, "I don't think it's a big issue, but just as a precaution, I'd rather skip a start than push it through."
Bulls waive veteran guard Richard Hamilton
DEERFIELD, Ill. — The Chicago Bulls have waived veteran guard Richard Hamilton, as expected.
The Bulls signed Hamilton before the 2011-12 season, hoping he could help take some of the load off Derrick Rose, but he had trouble staying healthy and fell out of coach Tom Thibodeau's playoff rotation.
So the Bulls exercised their $1 million buyout and officially parted with the former Detroit Pistons star on Wednesday.
He appeared in 78 games over two seasons, averaging 10.5 points and 2.6 assists, and it was clear his time in Chicago was winding down, particularly when he barely got off the bench in the playoffs, making just four appearances against Brooklyn and Miami.
Cardinals RHP Carpenter set for minor league rehab
ST. LOUIS — Chris Carpenter is set to make his first minor league rehabilitation start next week, an outing that once seemed very much in doubt for the former St. Louis ace.
Carpenter pitched a three-inning simulated game on Wednesday. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Carpenter will start Monday for Double-A Springfield.
Matheny said Carpenter will be limited to a pitch count in the "60s-range" in his first live action since making three starts during the playoffs last year. Nerve issues have sidelined the 38-year-old right-hander since before the start of spring training this season, and it appeared his career might be in jeopardy.
Parole hearing for OJ Simpson but no release
CARSON CITY, Nev. — OJ Simpson's Nevada criminal case goes to a parole board later this month for part of his 2008 conviction in the kidnapping and armed robbery of two sports collectible dealers.
But there's no chance the former National Football League Hall of Famer and Hollywood star will go free — even if parole is granted.
Simpson was convicted of 12 criminal counts and sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison after the 2007 robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas hotel room. He has been serving his time at Lovelock Correctional Center in northern Nevada.
The parole hearing is scheduled for July 25, according to documents posted Wednesday by the Nevada Parole Board.
The agenda indicates Simpson's parole consideration is for the kidnapping conviction. However, Simpson, who just turned 66, was given multiple sentences, some of which were ordered to be served consecutively.
That means he must complete his time or be paroled on some charges before he begins to serve his other sentences.
Bruins G Tuukka Rask signs eight-year contract
BOSTON — Tuukka Rask turned an outstanding first season as the Boston Bruins' No. 1 goalie into a long-term commitment on Wednesday by signing an eight-year contract to stay with the Eastern Conference champions.
There was little doubt that the restricted free agent would be back, especially after the Bruins cleared about $4.75 million in space under the salary cap when they sent Tyler Seguin to the Dallas Stars in a seven-player deal last Thursday.
The Bruins said the annual salary cap charge on Rask's contract is $7 million.
Rask was the backup goalie in the 2011 postseason when Tim Thomas won the Conn Smythe Trophy that goes to the playoff MVP as Boston won its first Stanley Cup title since 1972. The following season, Thomas played 59 games with a 2.36 goals-against average. Rask made 23 appearances and had a 2.05 average.
Lawyer: Giants pitcher accused of groping was ill
LAS VEGAS — The lawyer for a San Francisco Giants pitcher accused of touching a woman's breast at a Las Vegas hospital earlier this year says his client was ill at the time.
Chad Gaudin, 30, was arrested Jan. 27 and charged July 3 with open and gross lewdness. The Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported Wednesday on the case, which wasn't publicized back in January.
According to police reports, Gaudin appeared drunk when he approached a 23-year-old woman on a gurney at Desert Springs Hospital, told her she was gorgeous and touched her face and breast.
A paramedic who witnessed the incident told Gaudin to leave the woman alone, but he refused, and security staff held him down until police arrived, the report said.
Gaudin's lawyer, Dominic Gentile, issued a statement saying his client denies any wrongdoing and has been cooperating with authorities.
Wife of ex-MLB pitcher Benson charged with assault
SMYRNA, Ga. — Police in Georgia say the wife of former major league pitcher Kris Benson is in jail without bond after her husband accused her of threatening him with a gun.
Smyrna police say 37-year-old Anna Benson was arrested Sunday on charges of aggravated assault with a weapon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and trespassing.
Investigators say Kris Benson told police that his wife, who was featured on VH1's "Baseball Wives," was wearing a bullet-proof vest and threatened him with a gun while she demanded $30,000.
Police say that when she was asked why she was wearing the vest, the woman told officers she was a model and was testing the vest for a company.
It's unclear if Anna Benson has an attorney.
Isner tops Mannarino, reaches quarterfinals in Newport
NEWPORT, R.I. — John Isner advanced to the quarterfinals of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships on Wednesday by beating Adrian Mannarino of France 6-0, 7-6 (7).
The No. 2 seeded Isner needed only 15 minutes to win the opening set and served four aces in the second-set tiebreak. He closed it out when Mannarino hit a forehand wide off a 131 mph serve.
In other second-round play, No. 4 seed Lleyton Hewitt, a runner-up last year in Newport, needed just over an hour to defeat wild-card entrant Prakash Amritraj of India 6-2, 6-1.
In other action, third-seeded Igor Sijsling of The Netherlands beat Yuichi Sugita of Japan 6-4, 1-6, 6-3; Michal Przysiezny of Poland ousted No. 8 seed Rajeev Ram of the United States 2-6, 7-5, 6-3; Michael Russell defeated fellow American Alex Kuznetsov 6-3, 6-4.
Ivo Karlovic of Croatia beat Canadian Vasek Pospisil 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, and qualifier Jan Hernych of the Czech Republic edged American Jack Sock 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. In the last match of the day, 31-year old Nicolas Mahut of France beat American Tim Smyczek, who upset top-seeded Sam Querrey on Tuesday, 6-2, 6-4. Mahut was the Newport runner-up in 2007.
Top-seeded Errani through to Palermo quarterfinals
PALERMO, Sicily — Top-seeded Sara Errani beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova at the Italiacom Open again, this time to reach the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Errani won 6-3, 6-2, a year after beating Zahlavova Strycova in the final for her second Palermo title.
Errani will next face seventh-seeded Silvia Soler-Espinosa of Spain, who advanced after Croatian opponent Mirjana Lucic-Baroni retired while trailing 6-2, 1-0.
Five-time winner Anabel Medina Garrigues was knocked out 6-1, 6-1 by Dinah Pfizenmaier of Germany.
Berrer beats 2009 champ Chardy in Stuttgart
STUTTGART, Germany — Michael Berrer of Germany advanced to the quarterfinals of the Mercedes Cup by beating third-seeded Jeremy Chardy of France 6-2, 6-7 (1), 6-3 on Wednesday.
The 153rd-ranked Berrer, who received a wild card into the tournament, saved all four break points he faced against Chardy, who won the title in 2009.
He will next face Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain, who rallied to beat eighth-seeded Martin Klizan of Slovakia 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-4.
Second-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber beat qualifier Nils Langer 7-5, 6-2.
Another German, sixth-seeded Florian Mayer, was eliminated by Gael Monfils of France 6-3, 6-0. Monfils will next play Kohlschreiber.

The Dark Knight has returned, and this time with a new ride.
On Tuesday morning, director Zack Snyder tweeted the first official photo of actor Ben Affleck in costume as Batman, while standing alongside his new Batmobile.
The new suit has smaller ears that are less defined than previous versions. And the new ride looks a little sportier.
Affleck caught a lot of flak when he was cast last year. But the actor warned everyone to wait to judge until you saw.
The "Man of Steel" sequel is set to be released in 2016.

Made with Xara
A tour of the Shrimpy EP
courtesy of We Were Wolves bass player/vocalist Jake Hooker:
1. "Hodo Hada"
"'Hodo Hada' was recorded at Polarity Studio with James 'Baby J'
Faust, who recorded the Lost at Sea E.P. He works well with us
because he's known us from day one," he said. "This song was the
first brainchild Vinc offered, and had finally been aged and fine
tuned enough for recording. It starts strong like a rabid elk,
slams you back and forth like in a Droopy cartoon, and has a clean
finish with a pleasant aftertaste."
2. "Crash and Burn"
"Another product of the Sugar Hill sessions. It's just fun," Hooker
said. "The writing was entirely collaborative, so it's sorta the
most representative of what happens when our group works together
and off of each other.
"Zach's drumbeat brings it in like a lowboy designed for rock 'n
roll transport. The bass is strangely happy and sort of funky.
Vinc's guitar adds a decadent darkness, not entirely unlike an old
Scooby Doo episode. Drew's vocals are straightforward and connect
with that fiery bastard in all of us that we keep at bay, and when
we all play, it's primal and simple, then classically influenced
and sinister. That fiery bastard wakes up and reminds you why you
appreciate freedom."
3. "Hell in Spades"
"Another from the Polarity sessions, it's the only song on this
record with me singing lead vocals, and there's also a video on
YouTube," Hooker said. "The lyrics are inspired by one of Stephen
King's 'Dark Tower' books.
"It's a mid-tempo steering wheel tapper influenced by cKy and
Coheed & Cambria. Whether one can hear those influences, I can't
4. "No Head"
"'No Head' is a new recording of the song we had released on our
split with Cousin Phelpy," Hooker said. "We've always found it to
be a really solid song, and it has evolved significantly, featuring
new vocal harmonies and guitar work by Vinc, who wasn't in the band
when the split was recorded. We recorded this song at Sugar Hill
Studios in Houston with Chris Longwood for our next full length

Alexis on the Sexes: Final fantasy
Updated 12/20/2012
Fiancée grants him one more one-nighter.
Q: I'm 32 and engaged to a great woman who is 29. Despite being younger, she has vastly more experience in the sex department, while I have been with only a handful of other women. To balance the scale a little, she has stated that it would be fine for me to have one last fling before our wedding, no questions asked. I appreciate the gesture, and I think I would be a fool not to take advantage of it. But how much information do I have to disclose to both my fiancée and the other woman? I don't think my fiancée wants to know the details, but it still feels dishonest not to share them with her. She doesn't want our friends or family to know about it, so this other woman would have to be a total stranger. Am I even obligated to tell a one-night stand that I'm engaged and my fiancée told me to have one last fling?
A: Those who have never engaged in impassioned conversation with me probably don't know that I have a minor speech impediment. When I'm trying to make a very important point, I stammer a little. More Joe Biden than Porky Pig, I can't seem to get the words out fast enough and I end up mushing them all together on the first try before getting it right. To you, sir, I say, "Bu-ma-sh-ma-wha?!"
If your idea of happily ever after includes the woman of your dreams banging you and only you for the rest of your lives, then don't marry this woman. At least not yet, until you have had a more serious conversation about your beliefs on monogamy. She's not batting an eye at the thought of you having sex with another woman of your choosing. She either has a disconnect between sex and love, or she's allowing you this fling because she feels it permits her to get some side action in the future. The reason she gave for letting you sleep with someone else is not a real reason. There's no score to even when it comes to the sexual histories of two people about to get married; you simply accept the other person and all the baggage they bring along. You can't see beyond the image of burying your balls into some random hottie, so you've eagerly agreed to your fiancée's proposition without questioning motives or repercussions. Meanwhile, you're feeding your own insecurity about her past. This is all very unhealthy.
"But Alexis," you might say, "I thought you were an advocate of open relationships." That is true; having sex is a basic human function that just has to happen sometimes, like eating when you're hungry or sleeping in when you're hungover. It doesn't have to be any more meaningful than that Cheesy Gordita Crunch you ate last night in desperation. However, open relationships aren't for every couple. You have to create and nurture an emotional bond first, then establish mutually agreed-upon conditions under which it's OK to nail other people. Her willingness to let you have sex with someone else may seem like honesty and trust to you, but it could also indicate that she believes what you don't know can't hurt you. We all know that if no one sees you stuffing Taco Bell in your face in the corner of a dark parking lot, it didn't happen. A lot of people also feel this way about sex, regardless of their partners' beliefs.
Your fiancée is more interested in protecting her secrets than protecting your relationship, and you have hangups about the notches in her bedpost. You both must go back to the monogamy drawing board before getting married. You're coming from two very different places on the matter, and I advise against taking the plunge until you're both completely honest about why you're even having this discussion.

Roasted Basil Butter Parmesan Shrimp
Why hello there again old friends, once again we are sorry for disappearing on you. To be quite frank the last few months haven't been the easiest. We all have moments in life where things are just difficult, whether it be work or personal and we just didn't have much to write about that would have been relevant for The Reportery.
We're working on it, trying to get back to that happy place and one sure fire way to help that effort is through treating our body correctly. Lately too much crap and wine have gone through our system resulting in less than great results. SO the next few months will be more devoted to cooking, eating cleaner and TRYING to get our butt to the gym. There will be a combination of posts but we're going to try our hand at some food photography and post things that come out of the kitchen.
While looking for some recipes for this week we stumbled upon some delicious looking shrimp that made our mouth water. If there's anything we love to eat more than carbs its seafood. So we'll leave you with this yummy recipe with the promise of more ways to make life and body a marvelous thing.
Go here for the full recipe!

The Tempest
by William Shakespeare
The Tempest Freedom and Confinement Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the 2008 Norton edition.
Quote #4
You taught me language, and my profit on 't
Is, I know how to curse. The red plague rid you
For learning me your language! (1.2.437-439)
There's a lot to dislike about Caliban but his provocative retort to the above passage is pretty admirable. Here, he talks back and insists that one good thing came from learning his master's language—the ability to curse.
Quote #5
No, pray thee.
[Aside.] I must obey. His art is of such power
It would control my dam's god, Setebos,
and make a vassal of him. (1.2.447-450)
Caliban doesn't think he deserves to be in servitude for his attempt to rape Miranda, nor does he have any remorse. His servitude is simply the result of power politics—Prospero's magic makes it impossible for Caliban to be free.
Quote #6
[to Ferdinand] Follow me.
[To Miranda.] Speak not you for him. He's a traitor.
[To Ferdinand.] Come,
I'll manacle thy neck and feet together.
Sea-water shalt thou drink; thy food shall be
The fresh-brook muscles, withered roots, and husks
Wherein the acorn cradled. Follow. (1.2.555-561)
Prospero does have a knack for thinking up really nasty enslavements. When he enslaves Ferdinand, one wonders if he was always like this, or if this can be attributed to his getting comfortable as "king of the sandcastle" over the last twelve years.

In this paper, we present a way to obtain efficient carry-skip adders, built with blocks of different sizes in VLSI technologies. We give some results about two-level carry-skip adders. We reduce our optimization problem to a geometrical problem, solved by means of an algorithm easily implemented on a microcomputer. Then we present an example of the realization of such an adder.

Samsung's Galaxy S II isn't expected to ship for a while yet, but a prototype unit has already turned up for some Russian previewing. Mobile-review has managed to grab the S II and put it through its paces, with the 8-megapixel camera getting particular praise.
The Galaxy S II is accused of being a little too wide, but then there's a 4.27-inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus display to fit in. That's said to be a significant improvement over the Super AMOLED on the Nexus S, helped by the new DNIe+ image processing tech (which is similar to Sony's BRAVIA Engine on the XPERIA Arc).
Unfortunately, our questions about the processor - some handsets will use Samsung's own Exynos, some will get NVIDIA's Tegra 2 - go unanswered, though the Galaxy S II is said to be speedy. This is only part one of the preview, so we'll have to wait a little longer to find out exactly what mobile-review think about the smartphone overall.

Blame The Media: Stanford Cites Tweets, Publicity In New Trial Motion
Financier R. Allen Stanford has asked a federal judge to grant him a new trial, saying he was denied a fair trial in part because journalists were allowed to "tweet" from the courtroom during the trial.
Stanford was found guilty by a jury in Houston earlier this month of masterminding a Ponzi scheme that topped $7 billion. Stanford, 61 years old, was convicted of 13 of 14 charges on March 7, including fraud, obstructing a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
In a court filing Tuesday, Stanford's lawyers said the district court failed to take appropriate measures to ensure the jury wasn't influenced by publicity before and during his trial and that his counsel should have been given additional time to prepare for trial.
In part, Stanford objected to members of the media being allowed to stay in the courtroom when the jury wasn't present and to listen to "off-the-record" conferences between the court and the lawyers.
"The media continued to tweet during this time, resulting in an instantaneous dissemination of information, to which they had not been exposed," his lawyer Ali R. Fazel said in court papers.
"This broadcasting is likely to have reached a juror, since Twitter does not require active pursuit of information, but rather, if a friend of the juror's was following the 'Stanford trial,' the tweets might automatically show up on a juror's Twitter account."
Stanford's lawyers said the judge never instructed jurors to stay off Twitter during the trial and gave "inadequate" instructions when he told jurors to avoid media coverage of the case.
On average, a new tweet was disseminated every "couple of minutes" for the duration of the trial, his lawyers said.
The case has been marked by a variety of twists and turns, ranging from his entire defense team asking to withdraw from the case days before the trial and Stanford himself being severely injured in a fight with another inmate while awaiting trial.
In court papers, his lawyers have said he suffered a "traumatic brain injury" in the attack and was overmedicated by medical personnel, which led to questions about his mental competance to stand trial.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office in Houston couldn't immediately be reached for comment late Wednesday.

CBI autonomy: Govt forms GoM to deal with issues raised by SC
The GoM will be chaired by Finance Minister P Chidambaram and include CBI Director Ranjit Sinha as a special invitee.
New Delhi: The government on Friday formed a Group of Ministers (GoM) to deal with the issues raised by the Supreme Court on the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in its recent hearing on the agency's affidavit on the coal scam probe.
The SC had indicted the government for its interference in the agency's functioning and asked it to come up with an affidavit on steps to make the CBI autonomous.
The GoM will be chaired by Finance Minister P Chidambaram and will include V Narayanasamy, Kapil Sibal, Salman Khurshid and Manish Tewary.
Special invitees include Attorney General GE Vahanvati, CBI Director Ranjit Sinha and CVC's Pradeep Kumar.
The GoM's terms of reference include - evolving a statutory framework for securing independence of CBI on lines of the SC order, focus on independence of the CBI, focus on functional autonomy of the CBI, protect the CBI from external influences and look at any other issue raised by the SC order.
The first meeting of the GoM will be held on May 20 or 21.

Phenom II X6 Performance Under Linux Below Expectations
In testing the Phenom II X6, Linux Magazine noticed that AMDs new processor doesn't have the full performance under the current Linux kernel. A bug in Linux power management throws a wrench into the six-core processing.
With Ubuntu 9.04 and kernel 2.6.28, the Phenom II X6 1090T processor exhibited 19% better performance, much like Intel's "Gulftown" Core i7 980, in the LUbench benchmark. However, the performance was far more disappointing with Ubuntu 9.10 under kernel 2.6.31. Only by deactivating AMD's Cool'n'Quiet power-saving technology did the Phenom II X6 get anywhere near the expected performance with Ubuntu 9.10.
AMD's Operating Systems Research Center (OSRC) in Dresden, responsible for Linux development under the direction of Chris Schlaeger, confirmed that the new Turbocore mode of the Phenom II X6 was getting into conflict with the kernel's powernow-k8 frequency regulator module. The module falsely assumes the turbo clock as the maximum frequency. But because only the CPU itself can do the overclocking, this leads to a Turbocore knockout. Even a reduction to miminum clocking is impossible. The problem affects all AMD CPUs with the Turbocore feature under kernel 2.6.30 and later. The only available CPUs with Turbocore right now are the Phenom II X6 1055T and 1090T.
AMD has already sent a relevant patch upstream. The chipmaker is encouraging distro maintainers to update with this patch as soon as possible. The patch should be included in the next Ubuntu 10.04 kernel update. To determine if the issue affects your system, use the following command:
dmesg | grep "pstate 0"
Alternatively, use a widget or applet that shows all available processor clock rates.
If the maximum frequency (pstate 0) is shown as 3600 MHz for the 1090T or 3300 MHz for the 1055T, the system's performance is reduced.
Until the patch is available, Linux users should deactivate Cool'n'Quiet in the BIOS, or blacklist the powernow-k8 kernel module (the latter seems a better solution if Windows is also installed).In our tests, the power use is only 17 watts higher when idling, at least under the unaffected kernel in Ubuntu 9.04. No difference was measured under heavy load, whether it was with one core or all six.

"The One" is a dance-popelectronica song performed by Australian Kylie Minogue for her tenth studio album, X (2007). The song was written by John Andersson, Johan Emmoth, Emma Holmgren, and Freemasons. Minogue and Richard Stannard provided additional lyrics.The One was released as a digital-only single in New Zealand on 22 September 2008, but failed to chart inside the Top 50.[1] "The One" was originally performed by dance music group Laid and Emma Holmgren. Their version, titled "I'm the One", was included on the dance compilation Mastercuts: Funky House in 2006.[2] Minogue's version features new verses. "The One" charted at #36 in the UK due to moderate airplay and digital sales. The physical release was cancelled at the last minute and airplay stopped thus preventing it from charting any higher. Although it was not released in the United States, the song was chosen as one of the "Best Pop Songs of 2008" by the San Francisco Chronicle. After months of speculation, it was confirmed on "Kylie.com" that a music video for "The One" had been filmed. The video premiered on "Kylie.com" in August 2008. The video starts off with a male dancer (Jason Beitel) and a female dancer swiling around whilst a kaleidoscopic effect of lights is in the background, often as produced by a spirograph. Her first look is a long and straight blond hair. Kylie then appears dressed in a glamorous 1920s looking outfit and her hair is tightly curled, featuring the spiral visual motif. Throughout the video we see a continuation of the kaleidoscope effect and Kylie dressed in a long white silk dress, a black tightly cut dress and towards the end we see her with Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses with a short hair-cut singing the last few lines of the song. The song itself was never set to be released in Latin America, though the music channels VH1 and MTV Brazil released it for promotion. For a promotional release, the video got massive airplay. By early 2009, the video was barely being played anymore, having passed its peak of popularity, and being shifted to occasional replays at night on the former channel, and in the morning on the latter.

The renovations to Troy University's Bibb Graves Hall must be made due to overcrowding and ill-equipped classrooms say university leaders.
Built in 1887, Bibb Graves Hall stands as the oldest building on Troy University's campus.
Minor renovations were made to the building nearly 40 years ago when Troy added elevators.
Now, leaders say it's time to give the building a makeover.
Right now, the hall is described by university officials as overcrowded; ill-equipped with outdated layouts.
"To have your most beautiful and most historical building there with an interior that's three decades outdated is really not where we want to be. So, we see it as a major contribution to the future of Troy University," says Troy Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr.
"It's going to be a complete gutting. We need a new HVAC system, the roof need repair, we will actually reconfigure the building a little bit, put elevators on both ends of the building to help with access to the upper floors. They'll be a new classroom configuration," says Dr. Jean Laliberte, Associate Vice Chancellor for Development.
Even though the renovation plans include completely redoing floor plans, officials say it may not seem like a lot of work to an outsider, since the facade will remain the same.
"Bibb Graves is the oldest building on campus. So, it has a lot historical value, a lot of emotional value. So, it's going to be a complete overhaul of the building and one we're very excited about. But I do want to emphasize that the facade of the building will remain the same," says Laliberte.
It's expected to cost about $7 million dollars to renovate the hall, but officials say no money will come from tuition.
Some of the renovations have already begun, but the university is planning to fully launch the project by January 2009.
University leaders say they will finish construction on their current project, which is a new dorm. Then, build a new McCartha Hall before renovating Bibb Graves Hall.

Easily the most important annual film festival in Austria, and arguably one of the most significant of its kind anywhere in the world, the Vienna International Film Festival, otherwise known as the Viennale, is a worthwhile reason to visit the Imperial City all on its own.
Intended as a counterpoint to the callous aesthetics of modern, mainstream moviemaking, the festival has distinguished itself with the high caliber of its entries and the vibrancy of its attendees (of the more than 90,000 cineastes who make the trip to Vienna every year, a considerable percentage are decidedly young).
The program for 2011 promises to feature more than 350 films from all around the globe and in every conceivable genre. The final list of titles will not be released until mid-October (the festival runs from October 20 through November 2), but the list of events running concurrently with the main competition is unsurprisingly tantalizing.
Established in 1960, the Viennale has long featured a large retrospective every year in collaboration with the Austrian Film Museum examining various aspects of Viennese cinema studies, history, and culture. Another tradition, the so-called "Viennale Specials", feature theme-oriented performances and retrospectives in an effort to fashion an enhanced, memorable experience for moviegoers who have come to expect nothing less than cinematic excellence.
Along with the general public, the festival is attended by more than 700 accredited celebrities, filmmakers, actors, journalists, writers, and academics, a staggering figure that helps set the Viennale apart as a world-class event. Don't wait for the official program to make your travel plans. The quality and range of the offerings on hand are a sure bet.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Heather Jensen sobbed loudly while a prosecutor painted her as a lying, selfish mother whose negligence caused her two young sons to die in an overheated car while she had sex in a nearby vehicle.
She didn't stop sobbing when her defense attorney portrayed her as a lonely widow with an IQ of 76 who was trying her best to protect her children when she locked them in a car with the heat on to keep them warm.
The two portrayals of Jensen came in emotional opening statements Wednesday during what is expected to be a nine-day trial in Mesa County District Court.
Jensen was charged with criminally negligent homicide, child abuse resulting in death and false reporting for the hyperthermia deaths of her sons, 2-year-old William Jensen and 4-year-old Tyler Jensen in November 2012.
"Ms. Jensen created the situation that caused her children to die," prosecutor Danielle Lewis told the jury of 10 women and five men.
"It was a tragedy, but it was an accident. It was not a crime," said public defender Elsa Archambault.
Jensen's sons died after she had strapped them into car seats in the back of her SUV and drove to the Grand Mesa east of Grand Junction to meet a male friend. She told her live-in boyfriend that she was taking the kids to play in the snow, the police investigation showed.
Jensen's husband had died less than two months earlier in a car crash.
Lewis laid out a timeline that had Jensen leaving her boys in her car for nearly 90 minutes.
Tests done later on the vehicle showed the temperature inside could have reached 140 degrees.

Rappahannock Community College has Dual Enrollment agreements with most local high school systems to offer college-level courses that can be taken at the college or the high school location.
These Dual Enrollment programs are voluntary and enable students to take courses at RCC while enrolled in high school and provide college-level educational opportunities not otherwise available.
If you're a Dual Enrollment student and you'd like to complete a certificate or degree, follow the plan requirements outlined in the certificate or degree program section of the College Catalog.
Pursuant to the Governing Principles of Dual Enrollment, schools and colleges are encouraged to provide high school students with the opportunity for dual enrollment at little or no cost to them or their families … theVirginia Community College System (VCCS) Dual Enrollment Financial Model applies only when dual enrollment courses are held at the high school. Per VCCS policy, full tuition and fees must be paid to the College for each student enrolled in dual enrollment courses. Reimbursement to the school for a portion of the tuition may occur if the school's contribution of resources is adequate as specified in the dual enrollment contract between Rappahannock Community College and the Virginia Public School.
("Dual Enrollment Contract," 2016 Pending State Board Approval)
Advantages | Tuition | Courses | Eligible
Transfer | Transcripts | DE vs. AP | Benefits
What are the advantages to taking Dual Enrolled courses?
Who pays for the tuition, books, testing and other fees related to dual enrollment classes?
The actual cost of enrolling in a dual enrollment course offered through RCC is determined by the public school division. In some instances, there is little or no actual cost to the student. In all cases, students can save money by earning college credit through the community college.
What courses are offered as dual enrollment credits?
RCC and the high school determine classes that are offered each semester as dual-enrollment courses. Typically, the dual-enrollment classes offered would be courses taken during a student's first year of college.
Who is eligible to take a dual-enrollment college class?
Students who take the RCC placement tests to demonstrate that they are prepared to do college-level work (tests for high school dual enrollment course placement can be taken at either campus by appointment or may be scheduled at the local high school).
Are dual enrollment classes transferable to a four-year college or university?
Dual enrollment classes that are designed to transfer to colleges and universities are considered university bound courses and are approved to satisfy the general education core requirement at the college freshman or sophomore level. Download the following agreements with 4-year institutions:
Dual enrollment classes are also offered that are job oriented courses
Students should consult with their high school counselor or the RCC high school academic pathway advisor to determine which courses are considered transfer courses.
College Transcripts
Students may request that a copy of their RCC transcript be sent to other colleges and universities from the RCC Office of Admissions and Records once coursework is complete. Students can make this request online and also view unofficial transcripts through the myRCC site.
How does a dual enrollment course differ from an Advanced Placement (AP) course?
A dual enrollment course is a college class taught by an instructor who has the degree and credentials to teach at a community college. Upon successful completion of a dual enrollment course, a student is awarded college credit as well as high school credit.
Who benefits from dual enrollment classes?
The student benefits! Studies show that those who acquire college credits while still in high school is more likely to continue their education beyond high school.
