Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun's lower back pain has "intensified" in recent days, associate coach George Blaney says, meaning that Calhoun will miss at least three more games and really doesn't have a timetable for a return.
Wednesday night's game against DePaul was the seventh game of the season Calhoun has missed -- three because of an NCAA suspension and now four because of the spinal stenosis, which has left him immobile because of the pain. School officials said Wednesday that he also will miss Saturday's game against Marquette and Monday's game against Villanova.
"I am happy that we seem to have located the problem and I am currently moving forward with treatment," Calhoun said in a statement. "We have to give that treatment time to see whether or not it is effective."
Calhoun, who turns 70 in May, continues to consult with back specialists, and surgery remains a possibility. He has been experiencing back pain since last summer and took an indefinite leave of absence on Feb. 3. Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spine, normally associated with aging and sometimes with arthritis.
"He's still trying to sift through all the information and make a decision," Blaney told the Connecticut Post. "As we all know, there are so many answers to back ailments as far as what you should do and what you shouldn't do. That's what he's sifting through right now. Hopefully, he'll be able to make a decision shortly and hopefully it will be a quick cure."
UConn, once ranked in the top 10 and believed to be a contender to repeat as NCAA champions, have lost six of its last seven games and sits at 15-9 overall and 5-7 in the Big East. The Huskies still could rebound from their current slide and reach the NCAA Tournament, but they likely will have to do it without Calhoun.
"I'm hoping by the middle of next week, we will have a much clearer picture of where we are and when I can look forward to getting back to doing what I do," Calhoun said. "I'm looking at the calendar. I hope to (return this season), but I don't know."
Calhoun -- No. 6 on the all-time wins list with 868 -- has had a history of health problems. He is a three-time cancer survivor, overcoming prostate cancer in 2003 and skin cancer twice, most recently in 2008.
Calhoun has missed 24 games during his career at UConn, 20 for medical reasons. He has had to leave another 11 games with health problems. His last extended medical leave came in 2010, when he missed seven games with stress-related issues.

I have an RH9 box running a mail server at home (login required for

Right now, all the pop logins & logouts are logged into both
/var/log/secure & /var/log/maillog.
My questions are:
1. how should I config it, so it only logs to maillog or secure?
2. assuming I can make it to log to maillog, do I need to do anything
for logwatch to generate login/logout reports based on maillog? As of
now, logwatch seems to generate the login/logouts reports based on

There are three things in life that you cannot ever change my mind about: God exists, "Wonderful Tonight" is the best song ever written, and Mel Gibson's speech in Braveheart is the best movie speech of all time.
These are non-negotiable.
The Braveheart speech has a message for us as Colts fans. "Run, and you may live…for awhile. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance to come back and tell our enemies, that they can take our lives, but they can never take our freedom!"
Would you be willing to trade it all? It's a fact of life that the Colts will not remain elite forever. We will have years in our future where we are bottom dwellers again. Would you be willing for that day to come sooner, just for the chance at glory?
The chance at glory is always worth it.
A lot about Manning's health is still in question, but now more than ever it is time for fans of the Indianapolis Colts to stand behind our Quarterback, to stand for loyalty and legacy over longterm competitiveness and financial security. The legacy of Manning is too precious to give up. With 1 or 2 more Super Bowls, Manning goes down as the unquestioned best of all time. With 3-4 more years of playing, Manning could secure the several records. Most importantly, Manning's career can be completed with the type of celebration that rarely happens in sports.
But Can We Make A Run At It?
The simple answer is yes, but it requires vision, passion, and absolute dedication on the part of the Colts front office and coaching staff. The first step is making the pitch to our crucial veterans. Freeney needs to restructure, and the single best way to get him to do so is to pitch the selfless team taking a run at the next four years. Give him a fifth year that is huge and crazy, but make his first four years small, insultingly small even. Get Mathis to do the same. Even in the 3-4, the most important thing we need is guys who can rush the passer, and these two clearly can. Dallas Clark needs to be let go. Wayne and Garcon both need to be resigned on the selfless contract role. Brackett is released; as is Melvin Bullett.
The draft is clearly crucial, and the most important thing is to create a bidding frenzy on the first pick. Get yourself a first round pick, second round pick, and third round pick for the next two years, plus a cheap, raw talent at 1-2 positions. Use your two first round picks on the crucial needs of the team–Cornerback being most central as we move away from the Tampa-2. The other option is to go after D. Poe and have our NT situation in place from day 1. Using second round picks to fill out the offense (WR and OL should be addressed), you spend the rest of the draft finding defensive players with potential to fill one or many roles and play special teams.
Free agency, in the go for broke, means we fill out our defense with key guys who can play 3-4. Carlos Rogers, Cortland Finnegan, Anthony Spencer, Jarrett Johnson, and Jason Jones (if they become available), should all be looked at seriously. A D heavy on backloaded contracts that kill our future should be able to build a present that is both impressive and extremely helpful as Manning ages.
The bottom line, not everything is about logic. Sports are about glory, daring, and greatness. The thought of abandoning a chance to cheer through one more Manning Super Bowl run should shame all of us. Manning may never be Manning again, but the risk is more than worth the reward.
I will take the shot at glory every time.

Uzbek Police Storm Militant Hideout; Up to 23 Dead
By Shamil Baigin TASHKENT, Uzbekistan (Reuters) - Uzbek special forces stormed a suspected Islamic militants' hideout in a Tashkent suburb on Tuesday, leaving up to 23 people dead after a day-long siege, the Interior Ministry said.
One woman evading capture blew herself up, witnesses said. Her severed head went flying over a wall. The battle erupted in Yalangach, two miles from one of President Islam Karimov's residences, a day after explosions killed 19 people in the Central Asian state. Authorities said Islamic militants triggered those blasts.
When Tuesday's firefight had ended, five corpses clad in black and identified by police as "terrorists" lay outside, each with bullet wounds. An Interior Ministry statement read on television said 20 militants had killed themselves.
"In the process of being detained, 20 terrorists blew themselves up. Along with this, three policemen died and five sustained wounds of various seriousness," the statement said.
Residents and officials at the scene said 20 people were killed in the worst violence to grip the state since Soviet times. Twenty people died in 1999 bomb attacks aimed at Karimov.
Western countries and rights groups have criticized the ex-Soviet state for using tough tactics against Islamic opposition, including accusations of widespread torture.
A suburban resident, Farida, said she saw special forces running away from a woman apparently wearing a belt with explosives, who then pursued a bus carrying morning shift workers. But the vehicle sped away.
"Then the police shot her in the leg, she fell down and then she blew herself up," said Farida. "The woman's head flew over the wall and into the courtyard."
Tension remained high after dark in Tashkent, a sprawling city dominated by tatty Soviet-era buildings erected after a 1966 earthquake. Soldiers with Kalashnikov rifles stood on corners and only a handful of cars ventured into the streets.
Lyudmila, 76, said elite troops struck unexpectedly. First the special forces turned up like a bolt from the blue, all wearing masks and armed to the teeth," she said. "Then we were hastily evacuated and -- along with our relatives -- heard explosions and the shooting." Monday's blasts, which the prosecutor general blamed on female suicide bombers, raised concern in Washington, which uses an Uzbek airbase for operations in neighboring Afghanistan.
One group accused by authorities denied involvement.
Imran Waheed, a representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, told Reuters in London he knew of no members linked to the bomb attacks or arrested afterwards.
"We haven't heard of any backlash against the group...," he said. "An intensification in the repression of our members is to be expected."
Uzbekistan sealed its border with Tajikistan to the east, Tajik border authorities said, and Kazakhstan, to the north, also beefed up border security. In Kyrgyzstan, where Islamic militants staged attacks in 2002 and 2003, authorities reinforced police protection of embassies and other sites.
Two groups, the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights and the Human Rights Society of Uzbekistan, voiced fears authorities "might take discriminatory and repressive actions" against religious communities and opposition groups.
"Improving human rights in Uzbekistan...could reduce the threat of terrorism," a joint statement issued in Vienna said.
Russia views the region, also including Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, as the "soft underbelly" of the former Soviet Union. Moscow, fighting separatists in its mainly Muslim region of Chechnya, shares Tashkent's concern about Islamist activity or infiltration into the area from Afghanistan.
Oh wait a minute. Its Uzbekistan doing this, not the Jewish state of Israel. The UN, EU and the rest of the world will say nothing of this.
Sounds like she lost her head.
Blowed up good, blowed up REAL good!
I fall to pieces ......
Funny, Pakis nail a uzbeki bigwig and all hell breaks loose there.
Kudos to the Uzbekis.
Choice of which number to be.
"What's in the road, a head?"
"I'm head over heels for you."
"Goin' outa my head, over you . . . "
Measuring the explosive assisted head toss......
I think we've just witnessed Allah's work. He's created the perfect woman!
Killing terrorists accomplishes that very same thing.
heads up...
Courtyards are where innocent little children without explosive belts and nails play.
Well, we are talking Uzbekistan here, so I'm figuring this as a socceresque (1) point. In soccer, you don't get any extra points by scoring with a header - even if your actual disembodied skull lands in the goal along with the ball.
You know, maybe bomb belts really can make soccer more watchable... 8^)
But on the brighter side, more oxygen for me to breath now that they have departed.
I'm ashamed of myself for having missed this nugget of joy the first time I read the article. These animals are just f***ed up beyond words.
They get 72 horny bearded camel humpers looking for a hairless boy,But have to settle for her.
I think she was blasting out of a sand trap.
When they arrived at the pearly gates, a huge crowd (including Thomas Jefferson, Robert E Lee etal) jumped them and started beating them senseless saying "It was a typo, idiots, It was Virginians not virgins."
I fall to pieces ......
Another song came to mind - I ain't got nobody.
Good article, thanks.
Good shot.
That's it! A new name for them:

Tony Ferrainolo, the veteran Memorial of West New York skipper who became the winningest baseball coach in New Jersey history, died yesterday after a long battle with cancer.
Ferrainolo, compiled a 754-208 record in 34 seasons, guiding Memorial to five sectional titles and one state championship (1988). Memorial's 1988 squad, which posted a 28-1 record and won the Group 4 state championship and The Star-Ledger Top 20 Trophy for being ranked No. 1 in the state, is considered one of the best high school teams in New Jersey history. It was ranked No. 1 in the nation in at least one poll.
Frank stands at 751-235-3 in his career, just three wins behind Ferrainolo and one behind Shatel all-time.
Ferrainolo's 1988 team traveled to Toms River to take on Frank's Toms River South squad that season. "Tony called me up and they made the trip. It was the only time we play each other but, unfortunately, the game was rained out after four innings."
Ferrainolo was well known to Frank when the two grew up in Hudson County. "Tony was a terrific athlete in the 1960s at Memorial," Frank said. "He was well respected in football and baseball. That carried over into his career as a coach and school administrator. He was well respected throughout the state. He did a lot for Hudson County sports as an athlete and coach."

Should do very well since they are able to buy Western Canadian Select at $48/barrel and not even use Bakken oil.
Perhaps people should check to see what oil they are buying TODAY and not what they were buying six weeks ago.
I am an advisor and you both are right. They do both because the article i read recently said they are doing both. The other reason why limit yourself to just 1.
Oh, perhaps.
And....where did you check and what did you find out?
Did you check?
did you just think it was a helpful suggestion again?
Why do you think that you know better than they do, about how they should run their business?
Here is some info what they have been doing:
"Meanwhile, Northern Tier offers most direct way to play Bakken and Canadian crude oil differentials amongst independent refiners. Approximately 100 percent of its crude oil feedstocks are leveraged to discounted crudes.
"During 2011, the company's feedstock slate consisted of 49 percent Bakken light, with the balance comprised of Canadian Syncrude and Western Canadian Select.
"For the balance of our forecast horizon, we estimate this mix to be roughly 60% Bakken, 20% WCS, and 20% Syncrude," Weiland said.
The very wide differentials for Canadian heavy and Bakken crudes vs. LLS Gulf Coast crude suggest upside to 4Q. Over the course of the next few years, infrastructure should reduce these spreads but the simple fact remains – it is expensive to ship Canadian/Bakken crudes to market even by pipe. Add the advantage of complexity (NTI processes up to 28% Canadian heavy) and the energy cost advantage from cheap natural gas and this suggests a strong free cashflow profile."
But they do refine Bakken crude....and......45,000 barrels of it per day.
And, you would know that if you took the time to hear them discuss it.
They would be stupid to pay $65 for Bakken when they can get $48 Canadian. Are you their advisor?

LIA Monthly Economic Report: July 2014
By: Dr. John Rizzo
LIA Monthly Economic Report: July 2014
The economy has shown encouraging signs of recovery in the second quarter following disappointing first quarter 2014 results. A variety of evidence suggests that the business sector has improved. The National Federation of Independent Business's small-business optimism index increased in May to its highest level since September, 2007, before the last recession. Business inventories have risen sharply and industrial production is up, exceeding expectations. Consumer spending and the stock market have been solid. The housing market has been a concern for some time, but recent evidence on new and existing home sales suggests that this sector may be improving as well at the national level.
Rising prices, especially for beef and produce, may exert a drag on consumer spending. But this inflation reflects severe drought conditions rather than an economy that is overheating. Indeed, producer prices have fallen recently. So the Federal Reserve Bank has room to continue its pro stimulus policies without raising undue concerns over inflation.

Brian Setzer
Share This
Every decade has its own retro craze spearheaded by a true believer who brings classic sounds and style back into vogue. Brian Setzer performed this trick not just once but twice, first as the leader of the Stray Cats, the trio that brought rockabilly back into the charts during the '80s, then he helped popularize the swing revival of the '90s with the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Both of these sounds were grounded in the '50s -- that's when rockabilly was born but also the heyday of the kind of jump blues Setzer loved, music by Louis Prima and Big Joe Turner -- and while the Stray Cats were purists of sorts, indebted to the big beat of Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent, as a solo act Setzer wound up fusing these aesthetics together, playing rockabilly guitar to a swinging beat. With this jumping sound, he cultivated a loyal following -- consisting of not a few latter-day disciples -- that stretched well into the new millennium, developing the long-running, successful career that many of his idols never had.
Those idols -- Cochran, Vincent, Elvis, Carl Perkins -- loom large in Setzer's oeuvre, but as a kid growing up in Long Island he initially fell for big-band jazz. His first instrument was the euphonium and he played brass in a variety of jazz bands while in school. He'd sneak into classic clubs like the Village Vanguard but he also developed a taste for blues-rock and punk, which led him down the road to rockabilly. Picking up a guitar, he formed the Tomcats with drummer Gary Setzer and Bob Beecher in 1979, the latter also being a running mate of Brian's in the Bloodless Pharaohs. As his infatuation with rockabilly intensified, Setzer devoted himself to the Tomcats, which evolved into the Stray Cats when bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom entered the lineup in late 1979.
Sensing the U.S. wasn't quite ready for their rock & roll, the Stray Cats departed for London in June of 1980, hawking their instruments to get across the Atlantic. Within a few months, they earned the attention of roots rocker Dave Edmunds -- who just happened to appear in the 1973 film
That'll Be the Day
, playing in a band called the Stray Cats -- and he took them under his wing, producing their 1981 eponymous debut for Arista. Thanks to the singles "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut," it was a hit, but its 1982 sequel, Gonna Ball, didn't do as well, but highlights from the two LPs were culled for the American album Built for Speed. Thanks to those aforementioned singles, which both received heavy MTV airplay, Built for Speed turned the Stray Cats into stars in the U.S., paving the way for 1983's Rant n Rave with the Stray Cats, which had another major hit in the form of "(She's) Sexy + 17" and a minor one in the form of "I Won't Stand in Your Way."
Success came to the Stray Cats but the group fractured in 1984 and Setzer responded by acting as a sideman for a variety of rockers, most prominently playing in Robert Plant's oldies band the Honeydrippers on a tour. Setzer launched a solo career in 1986 with The Knife Feels Like Justice, a record that found him right in line with the heartland rock of the mid-'80s but didn't generate any hits and, perhaps coincidentally, Setzer returned to the Stray Cats fold that year for Rock Therapy, a reunion that also failed to stir sales. Next up was 1988's Live Nude Guitars, a record that moved him closer to Stray Cats territory but also failed to gain an audience. Next up was another reunion with the Stray Cats, one that lasted for three albums over four years. First was 1989's Blast Off!, which they supported with a tour opening for Stevie Ray Vaughan, but the record reached no higher than 111 on Billboard and EMI dropped them in America. Undaunted, they teamed with Nile Rodgers in 1990 for Let's Go Faster!, a record that appeared on Liberation to little attention; then they returned to their roots for 1992's Choo Choo Hot Fish, a final record recorded with their original producer, Dave Edmunds.
This was the last go-round for the Stray Cats and it was time for a reset for Setzer. He found one with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, where he refashioned his rockabilly boogie for the neo-swing era. Their eponymous debut appeared on Hollywood in 1994 and it did OK on the charts, reaching 158; then corporate restructuring pushed him over to Interscope Records, which put out Guitar Slinger in 1996. That record failed to chart but it laid the groundwork for 1998's The Dirty Boogie, which was a smash hit thanks to a hit cover of Louis Prima's "Jump Jive & Wail." The single peaked at 23 and the record went all the way to nine on the Billboard 200 and if Setzer never scaled those heights again -- the 2000 follow-up, Vavoom!, reached 62 -- he nevertheless found his niche and ran with it, releasing all manner of swinging big-band records in the new millennium, ranging from a series of Christmas albums (there are at least five seasonal albums in his discography) to swinging covers of classical compositions, most released on SurfDog Records. At times, Setzer would step outside of the Orchestra to return to his rockabilly roots, beginning with 2003's Nitro Burnin' Funny Daddy, running through Rockabilly Riot, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Sun Records in 2005, and extending to 2014's Rockabilly Riot! All Original. Another holiday album, Rockin' Rudolph, showed up in time for the Christmas season of 2015.

Dragon Age Origins
(PC, PS3, Xbox 360 )
Dragon Age: Origins ReviewBy Shawn Beck Score:
Apr 29, 2011 9:13PM PST
I love everything about this game; the multiple classes, the story, the gameplay, especially the story. The game is immersive; it pulls you in and made it as if you're living the fantasy. I've replayed it several times with different characters just to get to know the various POVs of the classes.
Classes: There are three playable races: human, elves and dwarves, and each has their own classes, which you can also choose (warrior, mage, rogue), but some class may not be available to certain race. Each class has their own specializations, which affects your character's attributes and specific talents. The looks of your character can be customized, although unfortunately, they have limited hairstyle choices.
Story: Each race has their own origin story, which I found very interesting, particularly the dwarven origin. Although the different origins will ultimately merge onto the same main story path, the decisions that you made along the way will affect how some of the events play out. In my opinion, the myth setup in DA:O is incredible and is the best thing about the game.
Gameplay: I consider it as action-RPG, since it is not turn based, and combat is real-time. However you can still pause the game to plan out the party actions/moves to achieve better result. The tactics option allows you to also strategize how you want your companions to behave by default, which is very useful when things get really chaotic, and you just don't have the time to micro-manage every companion. Talents can be combined to achieve a different effect, though it may not be easy to find the right combo. To summarize, the gameplay is flexible which makes it really fun.
Another important aspect of DA:O is your companions. They are very memorable and likeable, and some romantic options are available. You have to put some effort in gaining their affection, but you will get a sense of accomplishment once you have that. Some of the companions have funny interactions with each other, and they will make you get attached to their own back stories. You will genuinely miss them when they are not around.
In conclusion, DA:O is a fantastic RPG. The only downside to this game is it was quite buggy at the beginning (before the patches to fix those pesky bugs), but this is understandable due to the size of the game. You will not regret getting this.
Thank you for reading my review! If you have any questions or comments or would like to hold a conversation about the game review I gave, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stratigraphy is a sub-discipline of geology that is concerned with the correlation of rock strata. A number of approaches can be utlized, drawing on palaeontology, sedimentological evidence for sea level change, geochemical proxies, direct dating of rocks, as well as geophysical correlation of well logs and seismic data. Stratigraphy is of fundamental importance to the petroleum industry for correlation of petroleum reservoirs, but is equally important to academic problems and field mapping.
The following faculty members undertake stratigraphic research:
Dr. Elliott Burden
Sedimentology/Sequence Stratigraphy
Dr. Rick Hiscott
Geochronology/Time-scale Calibration
Stable Isotope Geochemistry
