Sunday, October 17, 2010
The Broncos played well enough to win today. Almost.
The Broncos, though, were betrayed by a lot of little plays that, in themselves, wouldn't lose you a game. Taken together, they killed an opportunity at a big, home-game win that might have helped the Broncos in a week where the rest of the AFC West lost their games. Instead, they lost. Here's why:
Bad snaps. A bad snap early in the game killed off the chance at a short field goal. A bad snap on the last offensive play of the day for the Broncos got away from Kyle Orton and ended up in a turnover.
Dropped passes. There were a handful of potentially game-breaking passes dropped by the receivers. Drive extending passes that would have left less time for the Jets to mount their comeback in the end. Not a lot of them, but enough that it would have made a difference.
Bad passes. Orton was chased all day and some of the resulting passes were ugly. He threw into heavy coverage, he threw nowhere near open receivers, and at least once he didn't deliver the ball quickly enough to take advantage of an open receiver.
Offensive line play. This young offensive line is struggling mightily. They didn't do much to help the running game, they didn't do much to help Kyle Orton, and they aren't quite getting the job done. This remains the Broncos biggest problem area.
Missed field goal. After making a 59 yard field goal, Prater missed a 49 yard field goal. Those three points would have made a huge difference at the end. Instead of needing the touchdown, the Broncos would have been playing a very different game.
Wasting turnovers. The Broncos had three take-aways and only managed three points. When the defense gives you those kinds of gifts, the offense has to do its part. Today--and for much of the season--the offense didn't come up with enough.
Bad turnovers. The Broncos' first lost fumble came when the Broncos had just moved themselves into scoring position. Like the field goal, another three or seven points would changed the tenor of the game. The second lost fumble was the play that ended the Broncos' day (see number 1 above).
The running game is still broken. They were better today, but it wasn't enough. Too many strong first down rushes were followed by weak second down attempts leaving the Broncos in third and long. The Broncos running game needs to be better.
It was fun to see Tim Tebow contributing and I hope they keep finding ways to work him into the mix. Especially given the Broncos' rushing problems, having a QB on the field who can help with the running game isn't something that should be wasted. His rushing touchdown was a nice run and a great coaching call.
It was also good to see that the Broncos defense (playing a good portion of the day in 4-3 instead of 3-4) didn't fall apart with all of the injury problems. Young players really stepped up and Martindale had them well-prepared. There were a few ugly bits (the final pass interference penalty, for one, and Tomlinson's two touchdowns both looked too easy), but, on the whole, they played well and should be commended for the effort. The bigger problems were on the other side of the ball today.
The Broncos aren't really a completely hopeless team. There is talent on the team in all phases of the game and some of the players look like they have great futures ahead of them. Still, looking promising and having talent don't much compare to winning games. The Broncos need to start putting together better efforts in all phases of the game and carry the effort from opening whistle to the last play of the game. Too many lapses, too many missed, little plays, and too many bad decisions are sinking this season.
Comments & Trackbacks
It was a test for spammers. I wanted to see how quickly they were getting to my first posts.
Although I was supposed to change the title once i got around to thinking of one. Apparently I failed at the thinking portion of the thing.
Interesting that they ignored the post until someone had already commented on it.
It might be time to try mandatory preview as a first step. You may recall I did that for non-registered users when my site was EE-powered.
Also, hunting the spammers down and beating them about the head and shoulders with a baseball bat. Though that may not be Step 2.
The current game isn't over yet, but it doesn't look good for Denver.
The Raiders?
What the heck happened?
Beat by a team that had not won on the road in more than a year ...
After revelations that MacDaniels' buddy from the Patriots had video taped the 49er's practice and MacDaniels had sat on the knowledge for more than a week until someone informed the Bronco's COO.
Its long past time for this clown to go.
I have a hard time imagining that he gets another year. The only thing that might keep him in his position is pure economics: I believe that Bowlen will still owe Shanahan money next year, he would owe McD money next year, and he would need to spend a significant amount of cash bringing in someone new.
That would be a ton of dead money going out the door.
I guess if there is a lockout, all is solved for Bowlen.
But for now, he's got a rather brazen liar on his hands, and it looks to me like the Broncos staff all know it.
The Mini Hoodie is run out of town.

Hi! My name is Larissa Holland and I like to make stuff and drink coffee. Need to contact me? I blog my creative life at mmmcrafts.blogspot.com and facebook.com/mmmcraftspatterns. Come visit!
I am: A follower of Christ, wife of my hero, SAHM to two crazy girlies, home school teacher, graphic designer, paper cutter, sewing junkie, and voracious reader. I'm addicted to all things artsy and craftsy. And coffee.
Most of my pattern designs come about from gifts I design and make for my kids or my friends. I love to give handmade things.
THIS LISTING IS FOR THE DIGITAL PATTERN ONLY, not a finished toy or a kit.
Make a little person in your life her very own fairy tale in a tin!
This PDF pattern will show you how to craft a tiny poseable princess doll with a lofty bed and her own fancy closet, all scaled to fit inside two recycled Altoids tins. Close the tins, drop them in the pretty drawstring bag, and you are ready to travel with your Wee Princess Pea.
The Wee Princess Pea pattern features:
- 3.5 inch poseable princess doll in a lacy nightgown
- Royal wool felt robe and crown
- Blanket, pillow and mattresses with a tiny built-in pea
- Ladder
- Royal closet with hanger and mirror
- Royal bed with wooden legs and storage compartment
- Fabric drawstring bag to put it all in for playtime on the go
I've included lots of tips and tricks for easy construction -- No need to be afraid of the tiny scale! This pattern is written for folks who do have some sewing and crafting experience and who are familiar with common sewing terms.
NOTE: This toy design is quite small may present a choking hazard. This is not a toy designed for children under the age of three!
Included in this original 24-page pattern are clean, digitally drawn actual sized pattern pieces, detailed step-by-step instructions with color photos and clear diagrams, and a handy resources section with hand stitching tips and vendor links.
Materials used to make the Wee Princess Pea are commonly available and you probably have some of it in your craft stash already! They include: scraps of cotton fabric, wool-blend felts, gold trims, cotton pipe cleaners, decorative paper, wooden beads, embroidery floss and Altoids tins. A complete list of materials is in the photo of the pattern page.
A combination of machine sewing and some hand sewing are used. Freezer paper is also used in some steps to make construction simple and easy.
This pattern is in PDF format on 8.5 x 11 paper, so you can print it from your regular printer at home on standard paper or card stock, as many times as you need for personal use.
COTTAGE INDUSTRY SELLERS: If you are a home sewer, YES, it is OK to make and sell items from this pattern as long as you credit me for the pattern. No mass production allowed. Please check my blog for details:

Suggestion from NYC-UPA:
RSVP early to ensure your place at our evening with usability legend Jared
Spool. We'll be at our usual location (Federation of Protestant Welfare
Agencies), on a special date: Wednesday, March 7.
TO RSVP, SEND AN EMAIL TO: rsvp at nycupa.org
NYC Usability Professionals Association presents:
We Are Not Alone: The Usability Practitioner's Role in the Optimal Design
Speaker: Jared M. Spool, Founding Principal, User Interface Engineering
Sponsored by: Sachs Insights (http://www.sachsinsights.com)
How do you build a team to produce the best possible designs? In most
organizations, design is not a solo activity. Different individuals, each
with their own set of skills, come together to create an ideal user
experience. Yet, we know very little about how to form these groups, and,
more specifically, how to best do our jobs within them.
Date: Wednesday, March 7, 2007
Registration: 6:00pm (refreshments served)
Presentation: 6:30pm to 8:00pm (includes Q&A)
Networking: 8:00pm to 8:30pm
Dinner at a nearby restaurant: 8:30pm to whenever (participants pay for
their own dinner)
Location: Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, Laura Parsons Pratt
Conference Center, 281 Park Avenue South (at 22nd Street).
About the presentation:
By studying several dozen design teams, the UIE research team has spent the
last few years looking at how different compositions lead to the most
effective results.
In this presentation, Jared will discuss the three approaches of design team
organization: Consulting, Review & Approve, and Educate & Administer. He'll
talk about the different approaches that teams take, where they succeed, and
where they run into trouble.
He'll also discuss the differences UIE has found between the approach of a
centralized user experience team and distributed approaches that put skilled
individuals within each of the development teams. He'll talk about the
issues of scaling design to meet the needs of the enterprise once its value
becomes realized and the pitfalls of specialization.
About the speaker:
Jared Spool has been working in the field of usability and design since
1978, before the term "usability" was ever associated with computers. In
1988, Jared founded User Interface Engineering www.uie.com. He has more
than 15 years of experience conducting usability evaluations on a variety of
products, and is an expert in low-fidelity prototyping techniques.
Jared spends his time working with the research teams at the company, helps
clients understand how to solve their design problems, explains to reporters
and industry analysts the current state of design, and is a top-rated
speaker at more than 20 conferences every year. He is also the conference
chair and keynote speaker at the annual User Interface Conference, is on the
faculty of the Tufts University Gordon Institute, and manages to squeeze in
a fair amount of writing time.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Charlton Heston, actor and National Rifle Association president, will campaign for Republican Senate candidate John Cornyn later this month, Cornyn's campaign says.
"I'm delighted that Mr. Heston has agreed to come, particularly under the circumstance of his recent announcement," Cornyn said in Monday's editions of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Heston's announcement last month that he'd begun to exhibit symptoms of Alzheimer's disease hasn't stopped him from campaigning for candidates the NRA favors.
Cornyn got the group's endorsement over Democrat Ron Kirk, a former Dallas mayor.
For $75, Cornyn backers can listen to Heston's booming voice over breakfast on Sept. 21 at South Fork Ranch, made popular by the TV show "Dallas," according to an invitation to the event.
Supporters who give $1,000 can have their pictures taken with Heston and Cornyn.
The 78-year-old "Ben-Hur" star will headline a second event at noon that day in the East Texas city of Longview, campaign officials said.
NEW YORK (AP) - Rachel Griffiths says her character on HBO's "Six Feet Under," the promiscuous, pot-smoking Brenda, is a much better person than she seems.
"The thing you just have to know about Brenda is that her good intention is there," Griffiths tells Entertainment Weekly for its Sept. 13 issue.
"She actually has a clear and apparent humanity, you know? She'd jump in and pull out the drowning child, while the nicer people sitting around would go, 'Oh my God, there's a child in the river! Do something!'"
The 33-year-old Australian is nominated for an Emmy for best actress in a drama series for her work. The show, about a family that runs a funeral home, is up for a leading 23 Emmys when the awards are given out Sept. 22.
In January, Griffiths won a supporting-actress Golden Globe for the role.
In 1999, she was nominated for a best-actress Oscar for "Hilary and Jackie."
BOSTON (AP) - When Justice Stephen Breyer took over the "Massachusetts seat" of the U.S. Supreme Court - once held by legendary Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. - he was "quite nervous."
Breyer, speaking at a celebration of Boston's 372nd anniversary at Old North Church, said he felt like he belonged in an old New Yorker cartoon that depicted a dog walking a highwire at a circus.
Recalling the punchline, Breyer said: "All Rover can think about as he steps onto the high wire is that he's an old dog and that this is a very new trick."
The 108th Supreme Court justice, appointed by President Clinton in 1994, gave a history lesson about the eight preceding justices who hailed from Massachusetts, but stayed away from modern issues before the court.
Breyer, 64, one of the court's most liberal justices, said his favorite was Louis Brandeis, the court's first Jew and an ardent supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt's ambitious New Deal programs.
"If I had to pick one personal hero, it would be Brandeis," Breyer said.

Former Fiesta Bowl Chief Executive John Junker on Tuesday pleaded guilty in federal court to a single felony conspiracy charge stemming from his role in an illegal campaign-finance scheme.
It is the second plea agreement entered by the former Fiesta Bowl CEO. Junker last month pleaded guilty in Maricopa County Superior Court to a state felony charge of soliciting a fraudulent scheme.
Disclosure laws debate after scandal at a standstill
Fiesta Bowl investigation | BCS system investigation
Both guilty pleas stem from a scheme in which the Fiesta Bowl used bowl funds to reimburse employees who made political campaign contributions.
Junker, 56, would likely face up to 21/2 years in prison if the recommended terms of his plea agreements on state and federal charges were accepted and the prison terms ran concurrently, said Stephen Dichter, Junker's attorney.
If Junker draws prison time, most of it likely would be served in a federal facility, Dichter said.
Junker's state sentencing is scheduled for April 26, and his federal sentencing is set for May 21. Dichter said the state sentencing likely will be delayed to permit the federal sentence to be handed down first.
Junker also could be called to testify in related trials, which would push the sentencing date further, Dichter said.
"This was a very thoroughly negotiated plea agreement," he told a federal magistrate judge Tuesday. Junker has been involved on a "daily basis" in negotiations, through multiple drafts, Dichter said.
The magistrate recommended acceptance of the plea bargain.
As bowl CEO, Junker "ultimately" was responsible for not disclosing the political contributions as part of the bowl's lobbying efforts, Dichter told Magistrate Judge Steven Logan during Tuesday's proceeding.
"He stands up here to say, 'I did it,'" Dichter added.
Throughout the hourlong proceeding, Junker said little other than to confirm to the judge that he understood and accepted the plea agreement's terms.
Natalie Wisneski, former Fiesta Bowl chief operating officer, on Thursday also is expected to plead guilty before federal Magistrate Judge Michelle Burns to a felony charge for her role in the scheme.
The Arizona Republic first reported in December 2009 that former and current bowl employees said they were reimbursed for making political campaign contributions, a violation of campaign-finance laws.
Junker and bowl officials denied the allegations for months. A subsequent independent investigation by the bowl last year confirmed the reimbursements and an attempt to cover them up.
Junker was fired last spring.
John Zidich, CEO and publisher of The Arizona Republic, is a former member of the Fiesta Bowl's board of directors and was on the bowl's five-member executive committee from January 2010 to April 2011.

Each spring, Arches National Park receives a multitude of requests from teachers for curriculum-based ranger programs that they are unable to fill. The Field Trip in a Box program is designed to provide these teachers with the tools they need to give their students an educational experience during their visit without needing National Park staff present. With NPF Impact Grant funds, Arches education staff created three field trip boxes based around park themes, state core curriculum and frequently requested topics. Themes chosen for the boxes include Microorganisms of the Desert, Desert Plant and Animal Adaptations, and Geologic Processes.

Air show canceled due to federal cutsMarch 14,2013Air show canceled
due to federal cuts
ESSEX JUNCTION Organizers have the Wings Over Vermont air show, saying they couldnt hold the August event after studying the impact of automatic federal spending cuts.
The Vermont National Guard Foundation announced the cancellation Wednesday. The U.S. Air Force Demonstration Team, the Thunderbirds, were scheduled to headline the show.
The implementation of across-the-board cuts in federal spending has caused the curtailment of the Thunderbirds 2013 show schedule. Effective April 1, all of the teams performances have been cancelled, according to the Thunderbirds web site.
The foundation noted the Department of Defense directed the Air Force to cancel aviation support to public events for the remainder of the fiscal year.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER More than 2,000 young adults might have wrongly stayed on the states health...

On Saturday, April 28, my daughter's new townhouse caught fire in the Fairfield subdivision.
We had just moved everything in and were returning the truck when we received a call that there was a fire.
All of my daughter's and grandson's possessions were in the townhouse.
When we returned to find 10 emergency vehicles and dozens of firefighters my daughter collapsed, and I headed into the wreckage.
Luckily, we were able to salvage a lot, though the home will be unlivable for months.
The most important part of the story is the support and kindness of all the neighbors on Tidewater Terrace.
They opened there homes to us, helped move boxes out of a soot-filled home, brought warm water and towels so we could wash our hands, offered furniture and more.
Seeing the beauty in people, watching a community rally together, seeing my son take emergency leave for his sister reminds be of how blessed we all our.
The Romero and Valli families would like to thank all of you who helped over the weekend.

Friday was a great day!
Breakfast at Colorado College. Presentations from a couple of great startups, including my friend Ian Lee at Engage Social Media Applications. Fantastic weather here in Colorado Springs. And the indomitable Brad Feld. Wayne wrote a great article about the morning, so go check it out.
Lunch was hosted by UCCS and El Pomar and featured a panel of investors and entrepreneurs: Jan Horsfall of Gelazzi, Jeff Cooper of New Venture Resources, Bill Miller of PV Strategies (former chairman of XAware), and Brad Feld of Foundry Group, TechStars, etc. 40 or so business and community leaders were in attendance to hear the panel's thoughts on capital flow in our region. I'll try to summarize that discussion in another post.
Afterward, my friends Tucker Wannamaker and Marcus Haggard from Magneti Marketing grabbed 15 or so young entrepreneurs and a couple of city government representatives (thanks Brandy and Donna!) for beer with Brad at The ModBo, in the center of the arts alley district downtown. After checking out his really cool video, we asked him a bunch of questions.
One of the best questions: "Instead of trying to attract venture capital, how do we really improve the culture of entrepreneurship in Colorado Springs?" Brad's answer was straight forward: "Go out and do $#!%" But it has to have the following four elements in order to succeed.
- Entrepreneurs must lead the activity, not government, not non-profits, not even venture capitalists or other money guys. Real, tested entrepreneurs. And 5 or 10 of them need to be visible, outspoken leaders.
- You must take a 20 year view from today (not from 15 years ago). One day, you'll wake up and realize the system has hit critical mass and the same 5 or 10 people aren't leading everything anymore. That's a good day.
- Measure in terms of relative growth (year over year) not absolute growth. Commit to starting more new companies next month than you do this month, for example.
- Embrace and engage everyone. If anyone (especially entrepreneurs!) wants to get involved, find something for them to do. Don't judge them, make them prove themselves, segregate them, exclude them, defend your own territory, or any of that other unnecessary junk. Just accept them and put them to work (real work). Flakes will find their own way out and the sneakier actors will get pushed out by the system as a whole. Worry more about having a reputation for accepting and working with entrepreneurs.
While all that sounds nice, Brad, have you seen Colorado Springs? We've got the "good ol' boys" to deal with. We can't just go out and do $#!% because they probably already have a committee for that $#!%. They don't like people messing with their $#!% without first consulting the committee who will ponder it over for 2 years.
Brad suggested starting by joining their committee (remember, be inclusive) or otherwise honoring whatever system is in place. If they don't respond well, then just go do it yourself (Brad called it being subversive). You can't be blamed for not trying to include the establishment and one of two things will probably happen:
- Either the structure in place is just wasting time and will vaporize and your thing will takes its place, or
- They'll quickly adopt your activities because you've finally brought along the real content they've been looking for.
And when you do your thing, just get started. Don't find a President and a Vice President and a Vice-Vice President. Structure adds nothing of value to your activity. (We learned this doing the Springs Vision Forum with four "founders" and a bunch of random people who offered to help)
Brad also talked about celebrating the entrepreneurs in our community in a real way, not to give them big heads but because we need heroes. We need examples to raise the bar for us and visibly live out their lives and their work so we can learn from them. And then when they're recognized, they need to humbly acknowledge that it is only because of our great community that they could be successful (and it needs to be true).
We as a community of entrepreneurs need to remember that anything that helps entrepreneurship in Colorado Springs (or even in Colorado or the United States for that matter) will help everyone. Stop fighting over who gets what credit or title. Also, get "fresh meat" into the system regularly, preferably by taking advantage of our great schools and keeping students here. Brad pointed out that Colorado Springs is far from saturated with entrepreneurial activity. Our 625k people vastly outweighs Boulder's 225k and they're doing ten times what we are (at least!).
That's more than enough to get us started. Thanks Brad.
More about these folks (in case you don't know them):
Brad Feld: Brad has been an early stage investor and entrepreneur for over twenty years. Prior to co-founding Foundry Group, he co-founded Mobius Venture Capital and, prior to that, founded Intensity Ventures, a company that helped launch and operate software companies. Brad is also a co-founder of TechStars. Brad also wrote two great books that I highly recommend: Do More Faster and Venture Deals.
Peak Venture Group: Since 2000, Peak Venture Group has provided high quality events, educational seminars, mentoring, investment opportunities, and socials to literally thousands of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and executives in the Colorado Springs region. Our goal is simple: grow and strengthen Colorado Springs business community.
I've been on the board at PVG for a couple of years and they've got to be the closest group to the kind Feld was talking about in terms of supporting entrepreneurs just for the sake of improving our region. I've personally given away more free advice than I care to count through PVG and it's been a great experience.

BALTIMORE (12/18/09) - Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez
announced that Maryland's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose slightly in November to a preliminary
seasonally-adjusted rate of 7.4 percent, compared with 7.3 percent in October. The unemployment rate in
Maryland continues to be substantially below the national rate, which was 10.0 percent in November.
The monthly increase was primarily due to approximately 16,000 people entering or re-entering the
labor market during the month. Employment, while advancing, lagged slightly behind the growth in the
labor force, causing the number of unemployed to rise by about 4,500.
"People enter or re-enter the labor force in substantial numbers when they have some confidence
they can find a job, which could be a positive sign going forward," Secretary Sanchez said. "While
recovery is still uneven, we continue to see job growth in some sectors, and that is also encouraging."
The number of jobs on Maryland payrolls declined by 1,900 during the month. Significant hiring in
professional, scientific and technical services, administrative and support services, and durable
goods manufacturing was offset by declines in trade, leisure and hospitality, and government.
Maryland's payrolls have lost approximately 40,800 jobs in the last 12 months, though that
year-over-year decline has narrowed substantially in recent months.
The state's unemployment rate was 5.1 percent in November 2008.
County unemployment numbers will be available at DLLR website
beginning Monday, Dec. 28. Unemployed Marylanders are encouraged to visit
website to find their local One- Stop Career Center.
Yesterday, Governor O'Malley announced a plan to offer $83 million in unemployment insurance tax relief to small
business owners, and reform unemployment insurance laws to allow the State to access $126.8 million in federal dollars
to shore up its unemployment insurance trust fund this year. The Governor's plan comes just weeks after announcing two
initiatives designed to create jobs and strengthen small businesses as the State transitions from recession through
recovery to prosperity. The Governor announced earlier this month a proposal to establish a temporary $3,000 tax credit for Maryland
businesses to hire unemployed workers as well as a proposal to expand existing loan guarantee programs to increase
access to credit for small businesses.

I have 10.3 running great on a MacBook. Download and install MadWifi
to get the WLAN working (WPA is supported.) You need to plug in a USB
mouse to get right-click, or compile a custom kernel (a switch not
enabled by default in the openSUSE kernel allows it to recognise
ctrl-click as a right click.) I didn't bother as I don't like
touchpads anyway.
Macbooks are, I found, very price competitive with equivalent Dells
etc. and the CPUs are fast. You won't be making Bill Gates any richer
:) The Macbook Pro is expensive and not needed unless you want to do
heavy video editing or play (dual-boot under Windows) games. Plus you
have OSX if you want it, I rarely use it...

As the federal Conservatives celebrate the restoration of rights and privacy for long gun owners, critics allege they are trying to take the same away from Internet users through Bill C-30, the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews created a firestorm last week when introducing the bill — which would give police broader powers to monitor Canadians' Internet communications — by saying in the House of Commons that opponents of the bill "can either stand with us or stand with the child pornographers."
Edmonton-St. Albert Tory MP Brent Rathgeber has major concerns with the bill as it stands right now, calling it "problematic" and saying that it leans too far to the side of government in trying to achieve a balance with privacy.
"The drafters had the best intentions of Canadians, and especially Canadian children, in mind when they drafted it," he said, noting that he read most of the 80-plus-page bill on the flight home from Ottawa last week. "That being said, as you read through it — and it's not an easy read — it casts an admittedly pretty broad net with respect to the powers of the state, with respect to what they will require Internet providers to monitor."
The Tories have taken the unusual step of sending the bill to the public safety committee before second reading, and Rathgeber — who sits on that very committee — will be waiting anxiously to get his hands on it.
"In my three and a half years in Parliament, I've never seen a bill go to committee without being debated in second reading. … It's got to be modified. It's got to be more than just a fine-tuning. There's got to be some significant change with respect to the privacy protections in this bill," he said.
"Democracy works because Canadians have spoken, and Parliament is going to respond," he added. "And I'm happy I'm going to be part of that process being on the public safety committee."
— GLENN COOK, St. Albert Leader

NILES - Ron Price thought he'd see it again.
Much to the Niles coach's chagrin, the Red Dragons couldn't deliver a clutch, last-second shot.
Niles has had a propensity for making up for poor shooting with a well-timed 3, jumper or lay-up.
Tuesday, the Red Dragons couldn't connect a game winner, like they've done a couple of times this season as Poland squeezed out a 45-41 victory at War Memorial Gymnasium.
"We're working on it," said Price, whose team shot 16 of 61 from the field and 6 of 31 from 3-point range. "We're not a good percentage-shooting team, but we've hit a lot of timely ones this year. Tonight, we didn't hit the timely ones. I think we're coming. I think we're going to explode on a game coming up. We didn't score a lot tonight. It was one of those hard-fought battles that you have to go play in the 40s. We had a chance to win and that's all you can ask. If you're not shooting well and you still have a chance to win against a good team, that means our ballclub is coming.
"I can't be prouder of how hard they played. They don't talk. They don't say anything to officials or cheap shot. They just play basketball. They bought into that from Day 1."
Poland's George Chammas, on the other hand, seemed like an unlikely hero - playing the final 3:38 with four fouls.
With the game tied at 41, Poland's leading scorer Jacob Wolfe, who shot 2 of 4 from the line, made the first of two foul shots with 26.9 seconds left.
The second shot went to the right side of the basket and Chammas put it back in for a 44-41 advantage.
Chammas led Poland (10-1, 4-1 All-American Conference, American Division) with 10 points and had eight of them in the fourth quarter.
"He was kind of frustrated all night because he had four fouls on him," Poland coach Ken Grisdale said. "All four fouls were charges. How often do you see four charges in one game, let alone one guy get four charges. It is what it is. He was kind of handcuffed and played kind of tentative. In the end, he decided I got to do what I got to do to help my team."
All of Poland's baskets in the second half came by driving to the basket or in the post.
"We went back to an offense we ran 20 years ago where we're going to open the lane and try to pass and cut," Grisdale said. "I wanted the penetrator to follow the cutter, which was kind of an escort to the hoop a few times. I think that was beneficial. Jacob Wolfe is normally our forward, but we had him play the 5 (center) a lot so we could get more of the spread and penetration."
Poland, which shot 16 of 44 from the floor and 4 of 20 from 3-point range, overcame 16 first-half turnovers and last Friday's loss to archrival Canfield.
"You can't have empty possessions," Grisdale said. "For whatever reason, we're doing that right now. We've got to clean that up or we're going to be in serious trouble."
Niles (8-5, 3-2) had a shot to tie or cut into the Poland lead after the Chammas putback. The Red Dragons chucked up a 3 with 12 seconds remaining. Niles twice tipped the ball back toward the basket before Wolfe grabbed the rebound (one of 13) and was fouled with 4.7 seconds left. He then made his other free throw of the night.
"It comes down to who can make a few shots in the last minute," Price said. "Unfortunately, we didn't. They did."
Friday, Poland is at Hubbard, while Niles travels to Austintown Fitch.

The Rio Sad Lamp is a compact
unit, standing at only 19cm tall, it can be easily placed
in a bedroom or a living room, on a desk beside a PC at home
or even on a desk at work. It produces a full spectrum of
natural light with low energy usage. Typically, 15-60 minutes
of exposure a day is sufficient for most people, however the
lamp can be used as often as required. The lamp can be used
at any time during the day (to link to the natural biological
clock, it is best to use between 6am and 8pm), although research
has shown that morning use is the most beneficial time. Users
will recognise when sufficient light treatment is achieved
- most often by a feeling of heightened alertness, energy
and mood.

EAST LANSING -- The Michigan State basketball team was swept by rival Michigan in the regular season this year.
But if the current seedings hold through the final week and half, the No. 18 Spartans (22-6, 11-4) could get a chance to avenge those losses in the Big Ten tournament.
No. 16 Michigan (20-7, 12-3) holds the No. 1 seed and has a one-game lead over the Spartans after beating Purdue in overtime Wednesday night, 77-76.
That would pit the Spartans and Wolverines on opposite sides of the bracket with a possible Great Lakes state showdown in the tournament final.
Michigan State may also have the chance to avenge its loss to Wisconsin (23-5, 10-5), a team it only got to play once in the regular season.
The four Big Ten teams currently earning first-round byes -- and avoiding having to play Thursday -- are Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Ohio State. As the No. 4 seed, Ohio State (22-6, 9-6) would be in the Wolverines' half of the bracket while No. 3 Wisconsin would be in the Spartans' half of the bracket.
As it stands right now, MSU would await the winner of Minnesota versus Purdue. Wisconsin would await the winner of Nebraska versus Illinois.
Nebraska lost to Illinois Wednesday night, 60-49. The Cornhuskers, as the only Big Ten team besides the Badgers and Wolverines with a winning record against the Spartans, also would be a revenge matchup for Michigan State.
In the top half of the bracket, Michigan would take on the winner of Indiana versus Northwestern.
The most muddled portion of the bracket exists at the bottom, where Northwestern, Purdue and Illinois are currently in a three-team tie at 5-10 in conference play. According to the Big Ten's multi-team tiebreaker rules, Northwestern would have the top seed of the three by virtue of a 2-0 record versus the Boilermakers and Illini this season.
All four of the top seeds have just three games remaining in the regular season. Michigan has home games against Minnesota and Indiana and travels to Illinois. Michigan State has home games against Illinois and No. 20 Iowa and travels to No. 22 Ohio State.
Ohio State travels to Penn State and Indiana and is home against No. 18 Michigan State. Wisconsin travels to Penn State and Nebraska and is home against Purdue.
The Spartans are the only team of the four with two games against ranked opponents remaining on the schedule but the Buckeyes and Badgers still have two road games ahead of them.

When you said bari I thought of the baryton, which I also like.
Arnold Weinstein did a Teaching Company course on 20th c American fiction which I really liked in which he traced the defining American myth of the titanic, godlike, hegemonic, imperial self (I don't think he called it a myth but I call it that), and also the shadow of that, which he calls Nobody, as in the figure of Bartleby or Dickinson's "I'm nobody".

Case in point Richard Wagner. This is a little different because his works were appropriated by the Nazis 50 years after his death, though he is hardly responsible for that association. In any case, it is generally agreed that he was a vile person.

This is distasteful coverage of Wicca. Everything I have read or seen of it indicates that it is benign, silly at worst.

Yes, although it is hard to escape circularity, i.e., terrorism is the word we use when Muslims, usually Arabs, do something violently disruptive of what we perceive as a non-violent zero-level (borrowing words from Zizek here).

I would say Iago is the archetypal CE you are talking about. He is an individualist who is a master schemer and manipulator, can function in a hierarchy if that suits his purposes but has no sense of honor, lives to create chaos and ruin other people's lives ("motiveless malignity"). Unlike the typical lawful evil, he has no interest in power. Being at the top of a hierarchy wouldn't interest him.

Re prostitution: theoretically, yes, but the details matter. I agree that the moral currency of paying for a friend could be the same as that of paying someone to mow your lawn or clean your teeth. But in practice that transaction is often dishonorable, exploitative, if not downright abusive.
I like gold. I like working for it and putting my butt on the line earning it as an adventurer. I like the power it gives me and I like the things I can buy with it for myself and people I care about, but really I just like it. I like the way it looks when I stack my coins. I like the way it glints. I like the way it jingles. I'm not above being underhanded or dishonest occasionally to get it, but I generally find that distasteful (let's face it, though: unfortunately, it's an ugly and unfair world and a being can't be too inflexible about principles if he or she wants to survive. That said, I can't imagine stooping to theft.). Besides, being a cheat sometimes works for a while but eventually it catches up to you. If you are a deal maker like me, you get a bad reputation, which hurts in the long run. I'm not a skinflint: I'll toss a few coppers to a beggar or help a friend out once in a while if I feel like it. That said, my gold is what I care about, and it's mine to do what I want with as I see fit.
I think most do, although you might be interested to know that it is illegal for some stations in the US to post advance playlists nowadays. Many fans are aggrieved because WQXR posted them when it was owned by the Times Company, but apparently would run afoul of the DCMA now that it is a public station.

Ooo, I need to check this thread out. Phoenix has a local classical station I've been listening to since I arrived, but I couldn't identify anything they play. Mostly just use it to not road rage on the highways.
I usually listen to WQXR on the radio or WCPE online. I'm always impressed by the amount of great music I have never heard. On the other hand, classical has its many warhorses.

I have also read that light-skinned African-Americans in the United States move more easily, so to speak, in this civilization than dark-skinned African Americans.

Not really. Evolution is not a teleological process, and it produces a lot of stuff with little or no adaptive value. Paraphrasing Gould, the evolution of the brain has also produced a lot of cognitive and behavioral sequelae, such as the ability to carry a tune or do calculus. Neither should it be assumed that extinction records poor adaptation (no one would argue that the dinosaurs were poorly adapted to their environments). Gould was one of the greatest writers and thinkers on this topic. "Spandrels" I think was his landmark statement.

I guess it depends what that entails.

Well, people seemingly always find reasons for Us/Them, but on the other hand people always have sex, too. Since the Semitic peoples, who have very recent common ancestors, obviously live cheek by jowl, I guess my hope is that interbreeding will gradually efface the distinctions (real or perceived) between peoples.

I was surprised that Dragonlance is right out there, since it has been in the basement for so long, but that strategy makes sense.

OQ, depends how you define altruism. In my experience, people who like Ayn Rand often resort to caricatures of altruism or straw men (e.g., altruism means destroying yourself).

I wonder if this issue is partly baggage because ancient Greek had rough breathing and smooth breathing for words which began with vowels.

One match after a stunning victory over two-time reigning champion Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, there was no letdown for Sam Querrey.
And Querrey was all too aware people might have wondered whether he could follow that up with another strong performance.
"If I didn't win, there would have been a lot of, 'Wow, it was kind of a fluky match against Novak, because you didn't back it up,'" Querrey said. "I feel like I did a really good job of putting my head down and playing really well today."
Using his strong serve to produce 23 aces and getting broken only once, the 41st-ranked Querrey eliminated France's Nicolas Mahut 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-4 on Monday at...

The boss is here
August 21, 2012 - Mike McLain
BEREA -- New Browns owner Jimmy Haslam III attended practice Tuesday for the first time in a couple of weeks.
Haslam has been busy dealing with business interests as owner and CEO of Pilot Flying J. He's expected to be officially approved as owner of the Browns before the regular season opens Sept. 9.
It was an uneventful practice session in which players wore shorts. The near big play of practice came on a deep pass from Seneca Wallace to rooklie receiver Josh Gordon, who seems to be in one every best play of practice. Gordon leaped between two defenders to get a hand on the ball. It was then touched by two defenders before falling to the ground. Defending on the play were Johnson Bademosi and Tashaun Gipson.
Rookie free agent receiver Josh Cooper was an inviting target, catching several short passes. Cooper, who played with quarterback Brandon Weeden at Oklahoma State, is a longshot to make the final roster. Receivers that appear locked in are Gordon, Greg Little, Mohamed Massaquoi, Josh Cribbs and Travis Benjamin.
Coach Pat Shurmur said that he won't change his plan for how to use Weeden Friday against the Philadelphia Eagles because of the injury suffered by Eagles quarterback Michael Vick Monday night. Vick injured ribs on a hit early in the game. He didn't return and was scheduled for a MRI and CT scan Tuesday.
Shurmur anticipates playing the starters most of the first half. Unlike most third preseason games -- which are dress rehearsals for the season -- Shurmur probably won't play the starters into the second half. The Browns are Eagles will meet two weeks later in the season opener.

I did some digging into Jaminet's claims about scurvy. He says he got this a result of a VLC diet including lots of veggies, NOT a ZC diet. He says the problem was the lack of starches but maybe it was the inclusion of the veggies. All of those plant anti-nutrients could have been binding up the nutrient absorption he needed.
Also if a ZC diet really causes scurvy, why were all the traditional Inuit not dead?

Politicians, professionals and power
Sunday Essay by Ajith Samaranayake
Now that the debris is being cleared away and the country is coming to terms with the terrible human and emotional cost of the Tsunami tragedy the hunt for villains and culprits has begun in earnest.
Perhaps a nation ravaged by the most awful calamity in her history has need for an exercise in collective catharsis. So while the writers and the columnists are trying to draw metaphysical and philosophical conclusions from December 26 the more logical and practical-minded are seeking to find out whether the disaster could not have been forecast so that there would not have been such a terrible cost in human lives and suffering.
Certainly there is enough evidence to believe that there were Government and other agencies which had equipment capable of giving a warning of the earthquake which erupted in the sea off Sumatra although an accurate Tsunami warning may not have been possible although any intelligent reading of an earthquake of that magnitude should have led to the logical conclusion of a possible tsunami wave.
The Geological survey and Mines Bureau, its monitoring system at Pallekelle and a unit at the University of Peradeniya were all in a position to issue such a warning although it has now transpired that the University's equipment was not functioning.
The fact however is that no such warning was issued and it is pathetic to take refuge behind the excuse that it was a Sunday and a Poya day to boot. It was, of course, the most unfortunate time for such a strike since it was the height of the normal year-end festive season but nature quite evidently is immune to any feelings of piety which could have been engendered by the succession of Christmas day and Full Moon Poya.
But obviously the malaise is more deep-seated than the mere malfunctioning of a piece of equipment at Peradeniya or the ineptness of a Government agency. The sickness lies much deeper at the heart of the bureaucracy and the professional classes who down the years have become complacent and smug with power and position until they have become incapable of giving leadership to society at a time of national crisis.
The colonial bureaucracy was cast in the image of the White Raj and except for a handful of officials at the upper echelons such as an occasional Governor or an Inspector General of Police was not as oppressive as other bureaucracies in the far-flung colonies of the British Empire.
Indeed some of the officials were scholars fostered in the school of Orientalism influential in certain academic and official circles at the time. There were archaeologists and historians such as H. C. P. Bell and our own Ananda Coomaraswamy who although his later reputation was as an art critic and philosopher, himself started his public career as the head of the Geological Survey Department.
This was a caste of administrators rejoicing in their status as civil servants and if they were alienated and aloof from the faceless and nameless hordes whom they administered this also made for a sense of independence from the political establishment.
Indeed there were civil servants who were fiercely independent such as M. (Tissa) Chandrasoma who died recently. In the immediate post-Independence years the Cabinet of Ministers which itself was drawn from the propertied sections and the professional classes was itself prepared to listen to the advice and counsel of the civil servants and give them a relatively free hand in the administration.
Things started changing in the mid-1950's with the injection of the broad masses into the political process. The complexion of the political class also began changing with the induction of more Sinhala-educated middle class politicians into the parliamentary system and the executive branch of the government.
These politicians had to give a greater ear to the clamour of the popular masses and in consequence were sometimes impatient with the convention-bound rigidities of the administrative structure and the bureaucracy's genuflection to the holy writ of AR and FR.
Certainly there was need to demystify the administration, bring the gods down to earth, but it is true that this process of populism also contributed to the adulteration of the administration and the injection of deleterious political influences into the process of government.
The Civil Service was succeeded by the Administrative Service while at a different level the gramasevaka system replaced the headman system. In the mid-1970's the then United front Government introduced Workers' Councils into work places while a system of Political Authorities was established to give political leadership to the development effort in the wake of the food and fuel crisis of the time.
In the late-1970's the Government of President J. R. Jayewardene introduced the system of District Ministers in a bid to decentralise the administration while the Provincial Councils were established for the same purpose in the 1980's.
No doubt all this was done with the best of intentions - the maximisation of efficiency, the decentralisation of the administration and the devolution of power, all the noble ideals which have animated the liberal, democratic and socialist leaderships of the newly-Independent world. But the crunch came when the political establishment was unable to reconcile itself with the administrative machinery to attain a common goal.
Under the influence of the masses reaching out to the political arena governments tended to be more sympathetic to making the administration consonant with their aspirations but unfortunately the system of governance could not strike a balance between such aspirations and the national interest which would go beyond the partisan political games of the contending parties.
The situation was compounded by the alienation created between the Government and the Opposition on one hand and the Sinhala and Tamil communities on the other which has plagued this country from the late 1970's.
This both led to an authoritarian governance as well as the consolidation of a parallel bureaucracy of super civil servants. Influential sections of civil society, which has given birth to that mythical monster which a lot of us love to hate, the NGOs, too became alienated from the Government of the day. Deep fissures had been created in the social order.
Confronted with a national tragedy, however, what is necessary is to seek common roots, a return to a consensual political order. In the immediate aftermath of the devastation there were some signs of this happening such as encouraging noises made by diverse political leaders, hopeful signs of a change of heart on the part of the Northern Tamil leadership and the end-of-the-year Adhishtana Pooja. But now with the retreat of the deadly tide and a semblance of normalcy taking over there is a return to the vituperative politics on the television talk shows and a demonising of the NGOs.
The problem is not politics by itself but its acutely adversarial nature and the loss of that consensual order which alone can give meaning and shape to society. The social contract after all was the basis of the community, the emergence of mankind into human society leaving behind its primordial setting.
It will be naive to expect that Sri Lanka's politicians will be prepared to abandon their political warfare in the face of the tsunami disaster and become good boys and girls but what we can expect of them is a broad outlook and a wider national vision. In short what we need is a politics of ideas rather than one of petty point-scoring or a rhetoric of saying 'I told you so.'
The other question is the relationship of the bureaucracy and the professional strata to the administration. Too often do politicians behave as if they are the repositories of all knowledge under the sun even in the fields of science and technology where their understanding might be limited.
In these circumstances professionals who will definitely know more can well be driven to postures of subservience particularly in a semi-feudal milieu such as ours. If we take it as axiomatic that the contours of the present century will be increasingly determined by science and technology then the professionals in the areas of these disciplines will have to take the centre stage.
This will mean a new relationship between the political class and the professional sections. In his book 'The Coming of Post-Industrial Society' Daniel Bell has written: 'Against the dreams of the early technocrats such as Saint Simon, who hoped that the savants would rule, it becomes clear that political decisions are the central ones in the society and that the relationship of knowledge to power is essentially a subservient one.
'He went on to note that the chief problem of the emerging post-industrial society was the conflict generated by a meritocratic principle which is central to the allocation of position in a knowledge society. Thus the tension between populism and elitism, which is already apparent, becomes a political issue in communities.
Here then is the nub of the matter. Are our political leaders capable of reconciling their various brands of populism at least in the short term and evolving a common ethos which can subsume that populism in the elitism of the technocratic professional classes to forge a new outlook for these post-tsunami decades?

Featured Keynote: Radhika Balakrishnan, Executive Director of the Center for Women's Global Leadership and Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University
When: March 29-30, 2012
Where: Center for Women's and Gender Studies, The University of Texas at Austin
The CWGS graduate student-run conference provides graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to share their research highlighting issues in women's, gender, and/or sexuality studies with the students and faculty affiliates of CWGS, The University of Texas at Austin community, and CWGS community partners. We welcome individual paper, artistic, poster, and panel submissions from participants in any discipline whose research pertains to any topic in women's, gender, and/or sexuality studies.
We especially welcome submissions related to CWGS's 2011-2012 annual theme, "Gender and Justice." The concept of justice within various discourses often denotes ideas about legal victories and socio-political issues. While these meanings are warranted and very necessary in our current political climate, how are other disciplines extending the meaning of justice? What does justice mean for the plentitude of emerging scholarship on gender, feminism, and sexuality? How can enactments or performances of justice illuminate new conceptualizations of the term?
Possible topics on this theme include:
**Affective Experiences of Justice
**Disarticulating Legal Justice
**Economies of Justice
**Epistemologies of Justice
**Historicizing Justice
**Pedagogies of Justice
**Representations/Performances of Justice
**Rights Discourse and Justice
We welcome additional proposals on other topics within the fields of women's, gender, and sexuality studies. Submission guidelines are available online (http://bit.ly/utwgsconf). All submissions should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com by the deadlines listed below.
Priority Submission Deadline: December 15, 2011 (registration fee will be waived)
Final Submission Deadline: January 20, 2012

Biographical Sketch of Joseph B. Keller
|Joseph B. Keller was born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1923
and educated at New York University (Ph.D.1948). He remained there as a
Professor of Mathematics in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences
until 1979. Then he moved to Stanford University where he was Professor
of Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering until 1993, when he became Professor
His research concerns the use of mathematics to solve problems of science and engineering. For example, he developed the Geometrical Theory of Diffraction to describe the propagation of waves. It is widely used to analyze radar reflection from objects, to calculate elastic wave scattering from flaws in solids, to study acoustic wave propagation in the ocean, etc. Another example is his formulation of the EBK method of quantization to determine energy levels of atoms and molecules in quantum mechanics and to solve characteristic value problems in other fields. Other problems he has worked on are described in his list of publications.
Professor Keller is a member of the National Academy of Science, a Foreign Member of the Royal Society of London, and he was Honorary Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge. He is a recipient of the Wolf Prize (1997), the Frederick E. Nemmers Prize (1996), the NAS Award in Applied Mathematics and Numerical Analysis (1995), the National Medal of Science (1988), the Timoshenko Medal (1984), the Eringen Medal (1981), the von Karman Prize (1979) and he was the Gibbs Lecturer of the American Mathematical Society (1977), and the von Neumann Lecturer of SIAM (1983).

One of every 150 infants (more than 32 000) is born with a structural heart defect each year in the United States. A hole or opening through the wall of tissue separating the atria (the heart's upper chambers) is called an atrial septal defect (ASD) and accounts for 10% of all congenital heart defects. There are 3 types of atrial septal defects; the most common type is called a patent (open) foramen ovale (PFO)—a small opening between the 2 atria that assists blood circulation in the fetus and is present at birth. Shortly after birth, the foramen ovale usually closes gradually. In infants with a persistent hole, there is an increased workload of the right side of the heart with excessive blood flow to the lungs. Symptoms associated with this condition (shortness of breath, fainting, and cyanosis—bluish coloring of the skin due to low oxygen levels in the blood) may be absent or so mild that they go unnoticed; 2% to 3% of healthy adults have a small PFO. The December 27, 2006, issue of JAMA includes an article on increased risks of respiratory problems and heart failure associated with a patent foramen ovale in mountain climbers.
Graphic Jump Location
Hearing a heart murmur (abnormal blood flow) or a split heart sound during a physical examination may be a sign that an ASD may be present. Additional tests are often needed to help make the diagnosis.
Chest x-ray—with an ASD, the heart may be enlarged.
Echocardiogram—a procedure using sound waves to evaluate the structure and function of the heart. It can show the pattern of blood flow through a septal defect and determine the size of the opening.
Electrocardiogram—a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. Sometimes with an ASD, this test may show an abnormal rhythm or problems with electrical conduction.
Cardiac catheterization—a probe is passed inside the blood vessels up to the heart. It can be used to identify abnormal blood flow and to perform a closure of the defect.
Treatment of an ASD depends on the size, location, and degree of symptoms. To avoid future heart problems, it is often recommended that atrial septal defects be repaired during childhood or early adulthood. Treatment can include a variety of options from catheter-based procedures to open-heart surgery.
Right-sided heart enlargement—increased blood flow to the right side of the heart can cause the right heart chambers to enlarge over time.
Tricuspid valve regurgitation—the valve between the right atrium and ventricle does not close properly. Some blood leaks back (regurgitation) into the right atrium.
Pulmonary hypertension—increased blood to the right side of the heart can increase blood pressure in the lungs.
Rhythm disturbances—atrial fibrillation (irregular beating of the heart).
Stroke—there is an increased risk of blood clot formation and stroke due to abnormal blood flow or irregular heart rhythm.

There is one spot in Ed Conroy's starting five that has been perpetually fluid.
And that's OK with Conroy, Tulane's men's basketball coach.
Three players are vying to play on the opposite side of the lane to forward Josh Davis — Tre Drye, Lotanna Nwogbo and Kevin Thomas. All three have started at the spot. They all have varying talents.
"It's going to be unsettled there for a while, but in a good way," Conroy said.
Nwogbo brings a strong defensive presence and instant energy, but not much offense (1.3 points per game).
Thomas is the tallest at 6 feet 9 and leads the trio with 12 blocked shots and six starts. But he is clumsy at times. He also leads the bunch with 13 turnovers. He isn't a big scoring threat, either, averaging 1.6 points per game.
And Drye, at 6-6, isn't a matchup threat to a majority of the forwards in Conference USA, but has perhaps the biggest athletic upside. Drye is fast, able to run with the quickest guards in the conference as well as spring for dunks from the base line.
Drye averages 3.5 points overall and 5.7 in conference play. He made his first start of the season against SMU and has gotten increased playing time to 14.2 minutes — significantly more than Nwogbo and Thomas. He leads the trio with 10 steals.
Drye also plays the other forward spot to spell Davis, who averages 33.3 minutes, 9.5 rebounds and 10.8 points per game.
The bottom line for tonight's 6 p.m. C-USA game at Marshall is the forward-by-committee spot has to come up big rebounding. Marshall pulls down an average of 41.3 rebounds per game compared to Tulane's 36.3.
"The thing that stands out is their rebounding," Conroy said.
The Thundering Herd (13-6, 4-3) nevertheless has struggled lately, with four consecutive losses, including 83-76 to Memphis on Saturday.
"I think their troubles as of late is a hard schedule," Conroy said.
The Green Wave (14-7, 2-5) faltered as well in its last outing, losing 88-74 at Rice.
"I think our big guys played well against Rice — Tre, Kevin and Lotanna," Conroy said. "We did some good things offensively in the paint."
Conroy isn't happy with the last three periods of Tulane defense.
"I think it started against SMU in the second half," Conroy said. "We kind of got caught up in just trading baskets with them. … I think we weren't getting back in transition defensively and protecting the paint."
Although Tulane freshman guard Ricky Tarrant is averaging 18.5 points in conference, Conroy isn't content to engage in rip-roaring score-for-all's with the teams in C-USA.
He'd prefer a 49-48 win to a 105-101 victory.
Tulane's identity under Conroy has been rooted in a defense that allows 58.0 points a game. Ceding 88 points against the Owls wasn't what Conroy had in mind Saturday, and certainly is not favorable for tonight.
"We've done a good job (with defense) all year, and I expect our guys to get back to that focus," Conroy said.

You Libs are really cold. All you see in people is a voting block, thus a way to stay in power, vote yourselves raises, and pass more laws and regulations to control the electorate. And of course, kill babies, which is found under the "good and plenty" clause in the Constitution. $556 Million/yr. to Planned Baby Killing under the Libs!! Those breast exams, birth control, and free ******s really cost a lot.

Why is everybody a victim to you Libs? And the only answer to victimhood is gov't. She's a victim because she got pregnant? She went out and partied and had sex with a "cute guy"and now a baby has to die because of her irresponsibility? Or maybe that falls under another of your favorite words, "fairness".

Sham- you choked on your response. LOLOL It is none of my business whenever any woman gets pregnant. When she LETS HERSELF GET PREGNANT and wants to kill the baby instead of putting up for adoption to a good and loving home with a man and woman as parents, I will always stick up for the child and support the woman.

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and all America saw a campaign unlike any in history on Tuesday.
Not only did they vote. They also tweeted. They also Facebooked. And they used these social media to learn about where to vote, encourage others to vote, tell the world they voted - and complain about the battery of campaign ads. This was the day social media made politics a communal experience.
And as of 10:15 p.m., Election Day 2012 became the most-tweeted event in U.S. political history, with 20 million tweets.
Early on, it was a time for crazy stories and for celebrating the vote.
