YOUNGSTOWN - Friday's 72-45 Horizon League semifinal loss to Loyola was the most devastating loss the Youngstown State women's basketball team has suffered this season.
This was a YSU team that rose from the depths of an 0-30 season in 2009-10 and had 10 wins last season.
Monday, as the WNIT bracket showed YSU (22-9) hosting Indiana State (18-12) in Thursday's first-round game, the chance at redemption was here for the Penguins.

The Youngstown State women's basketball team celebrates at Cassese MVR in Youngstown after finding out they are hosting Indiana State in the first round of the WNIT Tournament on Thursday.
"We lost a little bit of the chip we had on our shoulder about being selected eighth (in the Horizon League preseason poll)," YSU third-year coach Bob Boldon said. "We didn't play like we've played all year.
"I'm happy for Brandi Brown, that didn't have to be her last game. She's going to play and going to play in front of the fans in Youngstown, Ohio. That's tremendous."
The team was gathered at Cassese MVR for the late-night announcement on womenswnit.com. The bracket was put up on TV, showing the Penguins facing Indiana State. More importantly, it was a home game - a home game that costs YSU $6,500 to host.
"I didn't think about it most of the day," YSU guard Liz Hornberger said. "Then, right before it pops up, I'm getting all nervous. Usually I don't get nervous like that. The first thing I saw is it was at home.
"I'll probably be up all night looking up Indiana State because it'll be driving me nuts."
Brown is happy to be playing again.
"I think we're all excited and grateful for another chance to play another game," she said. "We know we didn't play our best and leave our best on the floor in our last game in Loyola. We're hoping to truly redeem ourselves. It's sort of a clean slate now."
Monday was about celebrating YSU's first-round WNIT game - a game the Penguins knew they were going to play after Green Bay won the league title Sunday, giving YSU the automatic WNIT bid.
"You knew it was coming, but it's still exciting to see your name up on the board," Boldon said. "Then, to see Youngstown, Ohio, as the destination is really exciting.
"I think this town deserves it. I think these players deserve it. It'll be a really special night."
YSU is grateful for the WNIT bid and the steps the Penguins have made as a program.
"It's a step in the right direction," Boldon said. "I think the NCAA bid is our ultimate goal. To play in the postseason for a team that look like it couldn't play even in a regular-season tournament is a special accomplishment and proud of what this team has been able to overcome to get there."
BROWN, YSU TOPS AMONG MID MAJORS: Brown, the Horizon League Player of the Year, was named to the College Sports Madness All-High Major Second Team. Also, the Penguins appeared at No. 20 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 Poll.

Lambertville native Kyle Tress was first down the ice in the second heat of the Winter Olympics skeleton slide in the Sanki Sliding Center in Sochi, Russia about an hour ago this morning, Feb. 14.
He posted a time of 58.13 seconds, slightly slower that his first heat, 57.85. But in a sport measured in hundredths of a second, and on ice that deteriorates with each run, it was a disappointing run.
Within moments it was obvious that it wouldn't be enough to keep Tress among the top 10 sliders, going into the second set of two heats tomorrow. All the racers will run in tomorrow's two heats.
A combined time of 1:55.98 minutes after two heats left Tress ranked 21, just .01 second short of four seconds behind the leader, Russia's Alexander Tretiakov, who posted times of 56.04 seconds in the second heat and 55.95 seconds in the first heat, for a combined time of 1:51.99.
Tress, 32, was the 12th slider in the earlier heat, at 7:30 a.m. this morning, and was ranked in 20th position after that run.
Tress is a 1999 graduate of South Hunterdon High School,. He moved with his family to Ewing Township during his senior year of high school.
This is his Olympic debut after failing to qualify in 2010 and 2006. He took up the sport after seeing it in the 2002 Olympics and dropped out of college to train.
He has never had a top-three finish in international competition. His best World Cup finishes have been fifth place in Lake Placid in 2012 and St. Moritz in January 2014.
Tress's American team mates, Matthew Antoine and John Daly, finished the first heat ranked third and fourth after second-place Martins Dukurs. The top four athletes held those positions after the second heat as well, but the gaps among them grew. It's generally the case that skeleton athletes have to be among the top 10 competitors after the first two heats to have a shot at a medal.
The last two heats of the skeleton event are scheduled for tomorrow, Feb. 15. The first heat begins at 9:45 a.m. Eastern time, the second heat begins at 11:15 a.m. The competition will be over before 1 p.m. and the medal ceremony will take place shortly thereafter.

If Miranda Kerr is feeling down about her recent split from Orlando Bloom, it sounds like she has a surefire solution for perking herself back up.
"If I'm having a challenging moment, I jump for joy. Literally," she tells SELF for its December cover story. "After a minute, I feel better, and after a few minutes, I'm really happy. Everything else just drops off. It gets me out of my head and into my body, and it makes me feel present."
Kerr, 30, who publicly separated from her husband of three years last month, accentuated the positive during her new interview – and encouraged others to do the same.
"Happiness is a choice we make," she says. "You can wake up and say, 'Oh, I can't believe it's so cold,' or you can say, 'Oh, wow, this is a great opportunity for me to try out my new sweater.' No one can be consistently positive, but why not make the choice that makes you feel better rather than the one that drags you down?"
The former Victoria's Secret model says she has another method for combatting negative thoughts: reciting an inspirational mantra.
"One mantra I like: 'I am a being of light and love, and I radiate that to everyone I meet.' It helps me keep things joyful," she says.
"Everyone has challenges," she also says. "But if you know your strengths and expand on them, you're going to radiate."
It probably helps that Kerr's split from Bloom, 36, seems particularly amicable. Last month, they were spotted dining together in New York City with son Flynn, 2½, and her soon-to-be-ex recently put a positive spin on the split in an interview with Katie Couric.
"We love each other. We're a family," he said. "We're going to be in each other's lives for the rest of our lives. There's no question that for the sake of our son and everything else, we're going to support one another and love each other as parents to Flynn."

Passed in 1995, the EIP program provides a 50/50 matching grant of up to $4,000 to businesses in the downtown redevelopment district for public improvements including signage, façade improvements, new lighting and landscaping.
Downtown Carrollton will light up Friday night to the sounds of Christmas favorites, kicking off the community's annual holiday festivities.
Carrollton Main Street Program will hold its first Light Up Carrollton celebration from 5-6 p.m. on the courthouse square.

Heavy rain in the eastern and central regions of the state is expected to push the Kentucky River above flood stage this week.
Carroll County Flood Plain Manager Mitchell Perkins said Tuesday that the Kentucky is currently at 30 feet at Lockport, which is considered action level. It is expected to rise to 33 feet, which is flood stage by Wednesday.
Perkins said reports show the Kentucky cresting Wednesday in Frankfort, which means it will crest in Carroll County late Wednesday or early Thursday.
Work continues on the recreational trails project that will eventually connect General Butler State Resort Park, Robert Westrick County Park and Point Park. The Park to Park Trails committee met at General Butler Monday, Nov. 21 to update the members on the project's progress.
Budget crunches and a greater emphasis on test scores have squelched some of the chances children have to experience the arts in their lives, whether that be painting or sculpture, the theater or the symphony.
Organist Connie Golden, D.M.A., has made it her new mission to help bring more opportunities for the arts, in particular music, to Carroll County.
Carroll County Schools fired a high school teacher Monday who was arrested Nov. 15 on sex abuse charges.
John F. "Jay" Jones IV's contract was terminated Nov. 28 after the school district completed its investigation into the allegations that led to charges of sexual abuse in the first degree, Superintendent Lisa James confirmed Monday. James said she could not comment further because of employee confidentiality statutes.
"We keep educating our children at Carroll County Schools...that's what we want to do here," James said.

Beachy Jellyfish Wall Art
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Take a trip to the beach without leaving home. Gather up your favorite beads and some store-bought seashells and create your own Beachy Jellyfish Wall Art. Crafty wall decor designs can help transform a boring space without breaking the bank.
- Beads in various sizes, natural and coastal colors
- Stretchy elastic jewelry cord
- 1 seashell
- 5-inch square canvas
- Cream colored paint
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
Paint the canvas with one coat of a cream colored paint of your choice. Set it aside to dry.
Cut 3 pieces of elastic cord, about 9-inches each. Take one of those cords and thread a medium sized bead onto the end. Run the cord back through the bead and second time and tie a knot. Turn the cording so that the knot lines up with the hole in the bead. This will allow the end bead to hang correctly with the rest of the beads.
Thread beads onto the cord however it pleases you. I varied sizes, putting 4-5 seed beads in between the larger beads to give it variation. You want to have about 4-5 inches of beads on the cord. Tie off the final bead by running the cord through the bead twice and tying. Repeat with the other two cords.
Position the beaded cords on the canvas. I found it easiest to tie all three together at the top. Once you know where you want them, trim any extra cording from the bottom and top and tack down with hot glue. Hot glue the shell over the top of the bead cords. Hang!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
What's wierd also is today I did a manual search to confirm that the site wasn't in the top 100 and then the next hour I did the same search and they came up 8th. Then, another hour later did the same search and the listing was gone again.
Anyone with some insight would be great. I'm confused.
Thanks in advance.
This post will probably be moved to the Google Forum [webmasterworld.com] where you will find lots and lots of speculation on what hapenned in the recent update. Not sure how useful you will find it, though ...
This is one of those updates in which Google makes changes in their algorithm that have a major effect on some segments of the web. Theories abound, and very slowly some sense emerges.
so I'm glad they started this thread because it gives me a chance to bounce my theory around again--last time it got shuffled to the bottom (poopies)
we were dominant #1 for about a year
now, we're gone.
at least for the MAJOR search term--you know, the one people ACTUALLY use.
*some* secondary terms still show us number one
but for most secondary and ALL primary terms we have been zapped.
what's in our place?
#1 is now a goofy freaking PDF file printed by the Internal Freaking REvenue Service! no kidding!
THIS is "RELEVANT" results google?
I think not.
SO what about numbers 2-9 (and on down the line)?
here's where my theory kicks in.
what's left primarily is a bunch of DOT GOV and mainly DOT ORG sites
in other words--sites google thinks to be non-commercial
anyone see the trend here?
someone posed the "dictionary" theory relating to key search terms (paid)
I am afraid there is much more to it than that--there is now no question in my mind that google has zapped COMMERCIAL SITES with SELECTIVE TERMS ONLY--the MAIN money makers that dumb bunnies like me are now forced to PAY for (or file bankruptcy)
sooner or later, this is the very kind of thing that will lead to google's downfall--by producing completely IRRELEVANT and NON-USEFUL results--not only our site but the majority of our competitors--also all gone--we all had good solid content--the very stuff people are looking for.
We have replace the google search tool with alta vista.
I urge all of my brethern to do likewise.
The lesson google has yet to learn is that the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
[edit]PS: I have checked some of the firsts URLs listed: in the top ten there are 4 .org sites (2 with PR6 and 2 with PR7) and 6 .com sites: 3 with PR7, 2 with PR6 and 1 with PR5. In the next pages there is a normal mix of .org, .com, some .edu and many regional (.co.uk and .es mainly) so I don't believe that google is caring too much the domain name extensions.[/edit]
After the brute of an update (Florida) where it seems a lot of us took a hit, where sites that had been steady in the SERPs (well as steady as they can be since the early changes in the year, no old monthly update, but onto the rolling update) suddenly got lost in the abyss never to return ahaha
So to my surprise last night when checking the state of the SERPs i find we are back at#1 for Keyword-keyword.
Now since last week like most it had completely disappeared right off the face of the Web World, and even though we were still getting traffic, this particular Keyword-Keyword is our bread and butter and brings the right traffic which converts into sales.
But what i cannot understand is the big change in the SERPs, after Florida there was 700000 for this Keyword - Keyword (when it had only been 135000 +)
But now it back down to 139000 where we are back at #1 across all DCs what happen to the other 560000 results then?
This is driving me crazy, should i make changes to my site, But what changes, should we wait and see, to see what.
The Big G has got us on the Run!
I suggest you start using Alta Vista or ATW, and tell everyone you know to do likewise.
The term "SEO" in future will stand for "Sadly Everything's Over".
The overall number of pages for the site contained in the Google index has increased from the previous month. The site's index page still has the same PR (PR6). And a substantial number of the pages in the site have fresh tags.
But, a search for keyword phrases for several pages that would normally return results in the top 10, now do not show up in the top 500. Even though the pages are in the index and in fact have fresh tags.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Any advice?
Excellent. I feel the same way. The funny thing is I think Google made a mistake long ago believing that in order to improve results it meant waging war against the SEO. Google should really realize we are on the same side. I don't want to see Google suffer, but may be it is what is required to make them understand.
I am already telling people that if want to find things to Hotbot or Altavista. Why pay for Adwords, we made Google and we unmake them. The only reason Adwords are popular is SEO's presented it to their clients.
Sorry for the rant, but it is frustrating hearing Googleguy and others defend these horrible serps.
#1 is now a goofy freaking PDF file printed by the Internal Freaking REvenue Service
...the MAIN money makers that dumb bunnies like me are now forced to PAY for
The lesson google has yet to learn is that the bigger they are, the harder they fall
I would it hard to believe that google would only hire on
education only.
You need a balance between the dreamers and the pratical people. My experience with the exceptionally gifted is that they are very hard to manage, and they are
constantly going off on tangents. They often come up with great ideas, but they often have difficulty applying them.
By combining the dreamers with the people that has had
practical experince in the workfore, and throw in some
mediator types, and some devil's advocates then you have a real driving force.
Any company that has quadrippled in size is going to face
some problems, but I feel that the fortune article is very heavily biased against google.
And now back to your regular scheduled thread
FACT: Overall, Google (thru Google Guy) is proud of the changes. They more accurately reflect the wants of searchers. (Advice: Make your sites more with the user in mind and you'll do fine.)
As a 1 1/2 year Adwords customer (gold or preferred or something...they have sent me Christmas presents and a nice beach towel - Thanks!), I have the following...
QUESTION: Were the changes based on research (focus groups, surveys, etc., or are the Goolge folks smart enough to "just know" what searchers want?
I would sincerely appreciate an answer from Google Guy, Brent, and/or others who so enthusiastically support the new rankings.
I admit that I think the old results were superior. But, it really doesn't matter what I think personally. It really doesn't matter what Google Guy's personal opinion is. All that counts is what searchers think.
I have spent 34 years in advertising. Some of those years were spent at some of the largest media firms in the US, who would never make major changes like this with gobs of research.
So, here's my...
REQUEST: If Google has research backing these changes up, please let us know. I certainly don't expect confidential info. Just the company that did it, the dates, sample size, the overall conclusions, etc. That would certainly shut up the complainers.
Otherwise, expalin that thses changes are strictly Google's opionions about what's best for searchers and the Internet. That's certianly their right.
I think all of us would feel a lot better knowing that these "improbvements" were made for the user, rather than being based on the ability of technology, or that "a bunch of the Google PhDs got together and decided..."
I'm sincere about question, and will appreciate any help.
Thank you.
However I expect Google will be alot quicker in realizing that people prefer old coke.
I expect that old coke will be served up on google datacenter very soon, or else everybody will be switching to Pepsi.
One thing that needs to be understood is that the Google algo (PR and anchor text) tends to favor non-commercial sites because they tend to link to each other. Competitors don't want to link to the competition. I'd also question if the search term jbage007 referred to would have seemed obviously commercial? Such as include "buy", "sales" etc. If the search is just "blue widgets", maybe the person is just interested in safe use of them.
New Coke's downfall was because in Coke's rush to "improve" their product, they didn't realize the reason people drank Coke because they liked how it tasted.
But they couldn't call it "old Coke", didn't sound very good.
"Google Classic"? ;)
If Google has research backing these changes up, please let us know. I certainly don't expect confidential info. Just the company that did it, the dates, sample size, the overall conclusions, etc. That would certainly shut up the complainers.
If you have research backing up the fact that these results are irrelevant other than the self interests of SEOs, please let us know. I certainly don't expect confidential info. Just the company that did it, the dates, sample size, the overall conclusions, etc. That would certainly help me understand what everyone is complaining about.
A. The filter is only applied to "Money Keywords"
B. Once triggered the filter is then applied to the entire domain, not just the specific page causing the offense.
By this I mean if the offending key word term was "Reno Casinos" the flagged term then would be casinos and no mater what the term before it, the filter suppresses the page for that term.
This of course means a database of offenders now exists, and will grow in the future. In my opinion a database existed even before this latest update but was used rather selectively for experimenting with the filter, it sure was kept very low key.
C. Once triggered the filter remains in place until the next major update some time in the future.
D. "Over optimization" is measured by the new rules the "Gods" have set up and not as it has been in the past.
My sites did not employ excessive page optimization or spam, and very few " Backlinks" were used.
Simply, KW phrase in title, meta, 1 occurrence of H2 and a few sprinklings on the page.
What leads me to these conclusions?
1. I have two sites (call them A & B) which by nature of the trade are virtually identical. Of course they look different but both internal structures are equal. 1 year ago both sites enjoyed top rankings.
2. Over the last six months, one site (A) consistently held decent ranking across the spectrum. The other (B) languished in the SERPS between 300 and 500 across the board and even worse in some cases.
3.. No mater what optimization I applied to (B) before this update or since the update, (B) would never rise in the rankings.
To my way of thinking, site B was "tagged" way back when, during the experimental portion of the filter.
Site A now got "tagged in the latest update"
(Money Keywords)
This is really quite basic. Of course the keyword terms used in this post are only an example and they are not from my sites. Having said that, My site (A) does act as below.
Site A
KW search "Reno Casinos" off the map. "Reno Slots" in the top ten.
No optimization whatsoever for Reno slots other than one term of slots on the page.
That tell me two things!
A The keyword "Reno" is not where the filter is applied - It is only applied when the Keyword phrase becomes "Reno Casinos"
B Casinos in now the word that causes the filter to kick in, no matter what the page.
It could be Miami casinos or Nevada casinos --- makes no difference, the filter kicks in as long as the keyword phrase is a money phrase.
I doubt that Pollyanna Casinos or Wingding Casinos would trigger the filter. But just try Atlantic City Casinos and BAMM
This affirms my conclusion that the filter is then applied across the domain as my sites are geographically oriented.
My theory Of
Once triggered the filter remains in place until the next major update some time in the future.
I have, since the update, changed a number of pages, no difference whatsoever.
Sorry for the long post but maybe in some way this is helpful to others.
With all due respect, I think you missed the point. I want to believe the "New Google" is better. I want to believe that people want results that are "relevant, but not too relevant". Unfortuantely, with out some credible proof of that, I just can't. I'm sorry.
I haven't seen much evidence that the punters out there tend to be dissatisfied with Google. I doubt that they are flocking to Altavista and Alltheweb in large numbers. All complaining seems to be by just *some* commercial webmasters.
Infoseek had the same attitude if I remember correctly.
Hang in there until at least Friday, 12/12/2003 - and in the meantime, get those christmas pages designed and uploaded. I would say that everything should be fairly glued down by then - pending another possible update by the first of the year.
It would make sense to do this until after Christmas so that Adwords revenue rises. However, that is fairly unethical and I have faith that Google is honestly just in a state of change right now.
I remember similar things happening to other SEs over the past five years or so. This is far from a unique event in SEO history - but not many of the newer folks have experienced a "Black Monday" yet, so I can understand their panic.
And as for optimizing, you should be doing just that. Measuring up a web site to rank high on Google is not considered optimizing that site since it does not have optimum potential to rank high no matter what search engine it is indexed by.
Always keep Intomi, Altavista, and Fast in mind.
Sadly, most "optimized" sites experience only a piece of the traffic they potentially should.
The number of searches will increase to start with - because some users will have trouble finding what they are looking for.
Decline in market share is never a rapid thing.

Contemporary Kitchen Design Ideas
Contemporary kitchen design looks great in both large kitchens and more compact kitchens. If your kitchen has lots of space then an island unit will add real, practical style. The style of your home will probably help you in your choice of colour. If you have a smaller kitchen then a light colour scheme will help to create a minimalist, chic look. In a more spacious kitchen have much more scope to choose a colour, for a real fashion statement why not choose gloss burgundy?
When choosing your kitchen handles you should aim to avoid anything too fancy or decorative. You could choose a simple, clean 'T' Bar design to stay in keeping with the minimalist look. For a real up to date look in your contemporary kitchen you may choose a handleless kitchen door style. This style features a push to open system for the door and drawer fronts, without the use of handles.

Let every other Brad Pitt fan on the planet thrill to the prospect of seeing him nude as the Greek war hero Achilles in his $200 million epic Troy. By the time Pitt appeared at the Manhattan premiere on May 10, Jennifer Aniston was happy enough to have the fully clothed version at her side. For the past three weeks, whether promoting Troy or filming Ocean's Twelve, Pitt has been jetting around the world, leaving his wife at home in their 12,000-sq.-ft. Beverly Hills mansion. Although it's not as if they haven't stayed in touch. "We're phone junkies," says Pitt. "But yeah," he adds with a grin, "the reunion's always nice."
As evidenced by the sight of Aniston, 35, cuddled on her husband's lap at the premiere party and, the next day, patting his behind as they hailed a cab outside the Four Seasons hotel. The displays of affection drowned out persistent rumors that the marriage is in trouble—and that he had an offscreen romance with his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie. Aniston says she and Pitt, 40, do their best to "ignore" the rumor mill. "We try as hard as we can just to stay away from it," she says. "We try to laugh, of course." But at least one family member isn't chuckling. "It's crap," says Pitt's brother Doug. "Total crap."
Take it from Mrs. Smith: On the evening Pitt and Aniston celebrated in New York City, Jolie, 28, attended a birthday party for her brother James in L.A. (see story, page 85). There she told PEOPLE, "I hope people don't put any truth in these stories. I end up in the paper with everyone I work with. It's crazy. If I'm sleeping with somebody, I'm not shy about it. I don't really have any secrets. I'm completely open. If I haven't said it, it's not true. You can count on it. I've said I've had lovers. I'm not shy about saying I meet men in hotels. And I have two very close lovers who I've been friends with for a long time now. We meet for a few hours, then I go home to [my son] Maddox." As for Pitt, says Jolie, "He's a really good man."
And a busy one. Even as Aniston was filming the final episode of Friends in January, Pitt was kick-starting his career with roles in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Ocean's Twelve, a production that has taken him from Chicago to Europe. With their schedules, jokes Aniston's father, John, "it would be easier for them if they could set up a studio at the airport." After launching Troy in France and Japan, Pitt will spend the summer with Aniston in Amsterdam, where he'll be shooting Ocean's Twelve, and they plan to find time for a vacation in Italy. Come fall, Aniston will be filming the remake of the 1966 crime caper Gambit. And she and Pitt have 17 projects they are developing through their Plan B production company. Could they possibly fit in Plan A: the family Aniston has said they are "in the process" of starting? ("We've been in rehearsals long enough," Pitt told CNN.) Pitt swears togetherness is not a problem. "Believe me," he says, smiling, "we find our time."

Harpoon Annual Festivals & Harpoon Helps Events
In the fall of 1990, we threw the brewery gates open for the first Harpoon Octoberfest. And people came. Lots of people. Since opening in 1986, our focus has been producing excellent beer and developing traditional brewing styles. Beer is meant to be enjoyed. So after our first festival in 1990, we added one more goal to our mission: inviting friends to our breweries to enjoy our beer right from the source.
We now host five festivals a year. In addition to those five festivals, Harpoon Brewery's charitable arm, Harpoon Helps, produces 6 fundraising events throughout the year. We hope you'll join us for a beer at one of our major brewery events soon!

Stuck With Bad Variable Names
I've faced a situation whereby a report format was called something like the "42 Line" format. This is because 42 categories have been designed for it. These 42 categories are a higher-level classification than the "raw" categories, which number in the hundreds. Thus, there are two formats: "42 line" and the "long" (raw) format. I ended up making a boolean variable "is_42_line". However, 42 seems kind of arbitrary. What if they changed it to 43 next year? I could call them "long format" and "short format", but that is not descriptive either. Everyone in the biz knows it by "42 line". Thus, do I stick with industry lingo for clarity, or go for more general names, but risk it not being recognized?
Dealing with a new application gizmo, I initially unpacked it to an "unpack" folder to study it. After fiddling with the configurations I finally got it working. At that point I decided rename "unpack" to something more relevant. However, it stopped working when I renamed it. Something hard-wired that path in in the course of fiddling with configuration; so I am now stuck with that name.
Thus, do I stick with industry lingo for clarity, or go for more general names, but risk it not being recognized?
When presented with a problem like this, a
proves helpful. You must evaluate the costs involved with renaming the variable versus the costs involved with the long-term effects of
altering names. Assuming you decide the former path less expensive, you then need to architect a roll-out plan. Basically, you can do everything all at once or you can roll out the change over time. Try to prefer the latter approach, as you'll find incremental changes easier to debug than all-or-nothing changes.
I rarely go back and fix poor internal names unless I'm doing extensive rework for other purposes. Otherwise, it risks introducing new bugs. The more you study old code, the more stylistic problems you can find. One would never get anything done if they focused on all the imperfections that can turn up.

OpenGL and OpenGL ES examples from NVIDIA
NVIDIA has provided a set of OpenGL and OpenGL ES examples illustrating various techniques and features to use in your own code. The GameWorks examples are aimed more at game developers, and run on Windows, Linux and Android. They are broken down by topic. The "NVIDIA Professional Visualization" set of examples are OpenGL based, and aimed more at the professional workstation developers. The repository is new, so expect more samples to be published soon. Linux support is being worked on. You can find the examples on Github.
Overview of Qt3D 2.0 – Part 2
KDAB are rewriting the Qt3D module of Qt 5 to provide an easy but flexible API for easily getting 3D content into your Qt applications using either C++ or QML. Qt3D is built on top of OpenGL and OpenGL ES and provides a data-driven renderer configuration. In the previous article we learned about the requirements and high-level architecture of Qt3D 2.0. In order to put some of this into context and to give you a concrete example of how it looks to draw something in Qt3D using the QML API, we will now briefly show the important parts of one of the simple examples that will ship with Qt3D.

Imagination cross-platform OpenGL ES and WebGL PowerVR Graphics SDK is now on GitHub
The PowerVR Graphics SDK was previously only available through Imagination's PowerVR Insider website. You may now find the Native SDK (cross-platform OpenGL ES 1.x/2.0/3.x SDK), WebGL SDK and PVRMonitor (on-device hardware profiling tool for Android) on Github.
Go bindings for OpenGL ES 2
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software and has just hit v1.4. The OpenGL ES bindings are deliberately minimal, staying as close the C API as possible. The semantics of each function maps onto functions described in the Khronos documentation. One notable departure from the C API is the introduction of types to represent common uses of GLint: Texture, Surface, Buffer, etc.
The Khronos Group returns to SIGGRAPH Asia for a 7th year

Instead of pushing for the post season, Rutgers went 1-5 and lost its leading scorer for the season with a fractured fibula.
Sinking to the .500 mark for the first time Since November, Rutgers on its way to another March with little meaning to its fan base.
In Rice's words, Rutgers is losing its edge.
"I don't know if it's feeling sorry for themselves about what happened on the offensive end, [we] were just completely losing that edge," Rice said. "… Tonight it cost us the game."
Rutgers (13-13, 4-11) followed its same formula of pushing for a comeback but falling short in the final minutes.
Where Rutgers missed free throws and was slow to get back on defense, the Providence guards took over and asserted their will on the Scarlet Knights.
Highlighted by a slashing layup from Vincent Council to close the door, the Friars' guards efficiently closed out the game.
"They finished the game and we didn't," Rice said. "We blinked."
The Scarlet Knights inspired hope multiple times, including an 11-point lead midway through the first half. The lead, however, collapsed with a 19-0 run by Providence to close the half with a nine-point lead.
Rutgers threatened in the second half and tied the game at 52 apiece, but seven quick points from the Friars closed the door.
Senior forward Dane Miller had one of his better offensive performances of the season with 17 points on 6-of-9 shooting. Sophomore Kadeem Jack continued his improved play in the paint with 15 points and 10 rebounds for his first career double-double.
"None of that matters when we lose," Jack said. "We fought back from that [19-0] run, but then we didn't finish. That hurts."
The Scarlet Knights get a much-needed break before starting the final portion of the season. When Rutgers returns to action Saturday night at the Verizon Center needing a win over Georgetown to stay afloat.
The loss locks Rutgers into the bottom quarter of the Big East tournament bracket, meaning the Scarlet Knights play Tuesday night in the first round at Madison Square Garden.
"I'm not thinking about it," Rice said. "I'd like to rip my eyes right now from the loss."

Let's see, you learned this from another forum. Why not call Sportsman's Guide if you're concerned? Their ad states clearly that the wooden bullet ammo is boxer primed and noncorrosive; they should know.
I bought some junky 308 ammo from the Sportsman's Guide a number of years ago. About 20% were duds. Sportsman's Guide refunded my money and I kept the ammo so, if their 7.62X39 ammo isn't as advertised, I presume they would stand behind their product.
Now, what could one use wooden bullet ammo for? It could be used for very close range varmint control where one didn't want the danger of a ricochet. I've used plastic bullets for this before.
November 28, 2006, 06:52 PM
Those are probably blanks with wooden bullets for feeding in semiautomatics. Yes they are sort of reloadable , you pull the wooden bullet, dump out the powder add right amount of your preferred powder add your bullet , crimp ,it is reloaded. If these are cheap enough because they are blanks, then this replacing of powder and bullet is okay but if the cost is too high, why bother? To make it worth while the total cost would have to be well below surplus ammo after adding your powder and bullet costs.
November 28, 2006, 09:29 PM
If you check the AK-47 ammo section at arfcom, they've already discussed this.
The brass is made by Lapua, but there may be a problem.
There is hearsay- just hearsay, mind you, that the blank brass is factory seconds and military once-fireds.
Those that have tried using the brass had to do quite a bit of work to get it into spec, such as turning the necks to make them concentric.
The ammo is cheap enough that it caught my interest as well, but after reading about the issues people have had I'm just going to buy virgin brass.
Just something to think about.
December 1, 2006, 08:25 PM
SportsmansGuide has finally corrected their web site in regards to this ammo.
December 3, 2006, 10:10 AM
Those finnish wooden bullet blanks are made from balsa wood and will completely turn into dust before exiting the barrel.
The reason why wooden blanks are used in finland is simple.
Our kalashnikov variants Rk62 and Rk95 do not have chrome lined barrels or chambers wich makes impossible to use plastic bullet blanks.
Plastic bullets would melt into chromeless chamber after few shots.

I bought some junky 308 ammo from the Sportsman's Guide a number of years ago.
I think I bought some of the same stuff - Argentine if I remember - They made it right. Replaced it with Samson (by IMI)

Let's face, who in their right mind ENJOYS changing strings... especially on a 12 string! These strings are incredible! yes, they cost much more, but they last much longer. I've played over 25 years, used every string imangible, these are among the best.

WAILUKU - The Maui Blue team in the Pony 14 state baseball tournament has plenty of experience when it comes to important games.
Six of the starters were on the Central Maui team that won a Little League 11-12 state title in 2011. Last year, several of the players on the current team advanced to the Pony 13 West Region tournament.
After a 4-1 win over Windward, Oahu, on Saturday night at Maehara Stadium, Maui is two wins from another state crown.

"This is a special bunch of kids," Maui coach Kevin Galicinao said.
A combined four-hitter from Kamuela Kaniaupio and Nawai Kaupe, errorless defense spearheaded by Kao Mindoro and a laser-beam two-run homer from Kawena Alo-Kaonohi were the keys to the win.
Maui advances to a winners-bracket game on Monday, while Windward will play an elimination game today.
"You have to stay in the winners bracket if you can because of the pitching rules and injuries and stuff," Galicinao said. "We have got time to heal, so it's a big win."
Maui broke on top 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning. Micah Jio led off by reaching on an error, stole second base, took third on a balk and scored on Mindoro's single to center.
The home team boosted the lead to 4-0 in the sixth. Mindoro scored on an RBI single by Kekoa Ostermiller and Alo-Kaonohi followed with a line-drive, two-run homer over the temporary 300-foot fence in left field.
"I was losing a few hairs there when it was 1-0, but that is the Kawena we know," Galicinao said.
Alo-Kaonohi, a sophomore-to-be at Baldwin High School, played varsity football and baseball as a freshman.
"It was a fastball inside, full count," he said. "It was awesome. I looked up and heard the crowd screaming."
Kaniaupio went five scoreless innings, allowing two hits, striking out five batters and walking two. Kaupe permitted one hit and one walk, and hit a batter, but she struck out three.
"They did a great job, they kept us in the game all night long," Galicinao said. "They did great pitching, too. Hats off to Windward, they have got a great team."
Kaniaupio walked the first two batters of the second inning, but Orion Miyasato-Farias threw out Kaliu Lapera trying to steal second base and Kaniaupio picked Daniel Thomas off of first. After two straight singles, Kaniaupio got an inning-ending groundout. Windward stranded runners at second and third in the next inning.
Mindoro, the second baseman, had four assists in the second and third innings and finished with five, and a putout.
"Defense was very important," Mindoro said. "We are trying not to break down on the errors and stuff."
In the fourth, Christian Rivas nailed Ostermiller at the plate trying to score on a short fly ball to center field.
Kaupe, the younger sister of 2012 New York Mets fourth-round draft pick Branden Kaupe, struck out Shaundy Kamai-Moku to end the game.
"We didn't hit today, they made the plays, they have a good team," said Windward coach Dennis Moniz. "We will be back, we ain't through."

Defining/Redefining Krautrock
Krautrock as (in)coherent movement
Discerning different strands of Krautrock
Krautrock as distinct from progressive music in other countries

Facebook has added a new application called as the Stalker Check app. (Application); you will think that what this Stalker Check is? It is a way for every person to see on who has been interacting with your Facebook Profile.
FacebookStalker.net started about just few months ago to try and help people gain insight into their Facebook world and show the limits of Facebook privacy. It shows you your top stalkers and actually ranks them in order. You then also have the option to click on your friends who have been "stalking" you and check out their top stalkers.
If you go on to some ones facebook, it would not tell any one that you visited their page and if you do not want your friends to see your name on the list then simply block it by accessing its application page. You can find the block button under the 'Go to Application' button.
There is an announcement by the developers themselves on how the stalker rank is judged which is given as follows:
"Thanks everyone for your questions and comments. The list is based on a number of factors, but real interactions (wall posts, likes, comments etc) are weighted heavily. The app considers the last 200 friend interactions – for most people this means visitors over the last month."

Doc Rivers Compliments DeMar DeRozan's Work Ethic
"I don't think people notice him — not because they are in Toronto, but because of their record," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "I think people are sleeping on him a lot. I think he adds stuff every year. Early on, he was basically a kamikaze driver — that's what we labeled him as, early on. Now he gets to the line. He makes jump shots. He defends. He's a total basketball player."
Some would argue with that — DeRozan's shooting percentages have flatlined since his rookie year — but it does appear that the light is going on in his fourth season, which raises another interesting question about players and their development curve.
"Everyone's different," Rivers said. "(Kevin) Durant picked it up pretty quickly. The greats ones do, some of the guys that have a chance to be really good — it just takes them time and patience. The mental toughness of that is hard. A lot of guys give in, give up and settle. A lot of guys keep driving. What I like about him, and I don't know him at all, but it just seems like from afar, he must put a lot of time in the summer on his game, because each year, he's gotten not just a little better, but a lot better in areas that you would have to work on. So I think that's impressive."
