Nikon EXPEED
Dennis Hissink : August 26th 2007 - 02:00 CET
Nikon EXPEED :
Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the development of its original EXPEED digital image-processing concept, which will be employed in the design of all future Nikon digital SLR and COOLPIX cameras. As Nikon's new digital image-processing concept - featuring the core ideas of our image creation and processing - EXPEED incorporates the optimized knowhow and technologies we have accumulated throughout our long history and in the course of our transition from film to digital cameras (starting with the D1). It's a system that embodies Nikon's intense passion for digital images. Unlike image-processing engines or systems, EXPEED does not deal with specific parts or features.
Nikon EXPEED image processing
Unlike image-processing engines or systems, EXPEED does not deal with specific parts or features. Rather, it refers to Nikon's original comprehensive concept of digital image processing. And as a system to realize it, it will be applied to all future Nikon digital cameras, including both SLRs and COOLPIX compact models. Using EXPEED as a foundation, image-processing engines / systems are optimized for each particular model, specific user characteristics and a range of applications - so that EXPEED plays a major role in Nikon's digital image-processing technology, and is applied to every operation conducted by the image-processing engine.
Nikon EXPEED - High performance and Improvement
The result is a broad spectrum of high-performance features. With the new Nikon D3 digital SLR, for example, 14-bit A/D conversion and 16-bit image processing enable rich and varied gradation, and high-definition, high-quality images, utilizing the wide dynamic range of the Nikon FX-format CMOS image sensor. Also realized are advanced features such as "improved high-speed performance (consecutive shooting speed, memory card writing speed)", "ISO 6400 sensitivity with noise reduction at high sensitivity (enables you to fix ISO 25600 equivalent at Custom Setting)", "image display on the high-resolution 3.0-inch, TFT LCD monitor", "support for HDTV and CF card double slot" and "focal plane contrast AF in Liveview mode".
About Nikon

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The past 24 months, ending in August, have been the warmest and the driest in New Mexico history, with records going back to 1895.
That was the starkest of a litany of stark pronouncements at this morning's meeting of the New Mexico Drought Monitoring Working Group, a monthly gathering of state and federal worker bees who monitor the state's weather and water, along with its impact on New Mexico. A couple of high points (low points?): dryland farmers on the east side aren't bothering to plant winter wheat, because soil moisture is too low, and the state's northern reservoirs are for the most part drained.
The only bright spot is the forecast for an El Niño this winter, which tips the odds toward wetter weather. "Hopefully El Niño will produce something for us and give us some relief," said Raymond Abeyta of the US Bureau of Reclamation, the federal agency that oversees a lot of the irrigation water systems in the state.
With the help of Dave DuBois at New Mexico state, here are the graphs showing those truly stark 24-month numbers:

An accused burglar might have left a California home well fed and with clean clothes had the resident not come home unexpectedly.
A puzzled Bellissio came home at about the same time the deliveryman arrived. She sent him away but was then accosted by the intruder who took her purse before she broke free and fled.
Scott was arrested in a nearby yard going through the purse, police allege. Inside Bellessio's home they found one of her checks that Scott had allegedly filled out in order to pay for the pizza.

As healthcare professionals Pharmacy Advantage advocates for healthy behaviors such as regular examinations and early detection measures.
It is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of Breast cancer. The following is cited from the American Cancer Society:
Widespread use of screening mammograms has increased the number of breast cancers found before they cause any symptoms. Still, some breast cancers are not found by mammogram, either because the test was not done or because, even under ideal conditions, mammograms do not find every breast cancer.
The most common symptom of breast cancer is a new lump or mass. A painless, hard mass that has irregular edges is more likely to be cancerous, but breast cancers can be tender, soft, or rounded. They can even be painful. For this reason, it is important to have any new breast mass or lump or breast change checked by a health care professional experienced in diagnosing breast diseases.
Other possible signs of breast cancer include:
Sometimes a breast cancer can spread to lymph nodes under the arm or around the collar bone and cause a lump or swelling there, even before the original tumor in the breast tissue is large enough to be felt. Swollen lymph nodes should also be reported to your doctor.
Although any of these symptoms can be caused by things other than breast cancer, if you have them, they should be reported to your doctor so that he or she can find the cause.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks are the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities with a shared determination to finish the fight against breast cancer. Passionate walk participants raise critical funds that enable the American Cancer Society to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research; provide free, comprehensive information and support to those touched by breast cancer; and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it is most treatable.

WNBA Rumors
Verdicts from the league office are one thing. Real change in the locker room is quite another. "It's more about stigmas than anything else, and I think with those stigmas you have people who are going to be judged," said Sue Bird of the Seattle Storm. "I think on the men's side, they're not quite there yet. Jason Collins, for him to do that, particularly in the basketball world, he was the one who kind of broke down the barrier. And maybe in the future, it'll change. But I think right now there's still that stigma. I would love for it to change, because it's really not that big of a deal in all reality. "The NBA moving the All-Star game was a tremendous stand. It's about the NBA having that platform to create change that needs to be created."
Taurasi, and many others, remain skeptical real change and inclusion will come. "Probably not," she said to that question. "I mean (being gay) is just taboo. It's something that I feel like a lot of those guys think is a weakness, and they look down upon it. That's a lot of upbringing. A lot of that is religion, so I think once they get past those things maybe in the future. "It must be hard for them to know that they walk into the locker room having to put a façade on every day. I think one day, like (former University of Missouri football player) Michael Sam did, like Jason did, like a lot of the players in our league have done, it won't be talked about. It will just be like anything else."
The chosen opponent? DeMarcus Cousins, the Sacramento Kings big man and fellow Team USA talent who has been ribbing Griner while on the cruise ship both teams are sharing. "I would love to just go out there and play against (Cousins)," said Griner, who has never played against NBA talent. "We talk a lot of crap to each other. I love talking to him. He's really funny. I would love to just go out there and play against him.
"When the men last year did the 'I Can't Breathe' T-shirts for a brief period of time, it was not the case that they were playing the game in the shirts and while it was technically a violation of the uniform policy, I thought the league did exactly the right thing by not attempting to impose any sanctions. I was disturbed when there were sanctions imposed against the women because, in my view, it's not too terribly different from what the men had done and in no way had disrupted the game and so I was distressed but pleased when the fines were rescinded." Roberts said she feels a sense of pride in watching these players, some millennials, conjure memories of their predecessors with political and social activism.

Our test systems have been upgraded recently, rather than using our Core 2 Extreme dual core processor we are now using a Core 2 Extreme quad core QX6700. For our stock tests we used the CPU at 3GHz running a 9x multiplier and a 333MHz FSB to represent the new 1333MHz FSB which the P35 and X38 chipsets now support.
Our overclocking tests are pushed to the limits with regards to the FSB. Memory is always set to run 1:1 in overclocked mode. Our ASUS board ran with a 510 MHz FSB and our GIGABYTE P35-DQ6 ran with a 521MHz FSB, both using 6x multipliers.

Category archive: Duke Blue Devils
First impressions on the bracket
Rebecca Lobo gives a behind-the-scenes look at preparations for the set of the Selection Show.
Hardest regional: Des Moines. For Tennessee to be the 2-seed there (with No. 1 Baylor) after playing really well in the past week or so, that was the one that stuck out to me.
Easiest regional: Kingston. Connecticut's path to a potential Final Four might be the least difficult. Kentucky is probably seen as the fourth No. 2 seed, and Connecticut -- which opens in Bridgeport -- doesn't have to get on an airplane.
Best first-round game: No. 7 seed Green Bay versus 10th-seeded Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. Both teams have players who can shoot the 3 and it's a lower seed playing on its home floor.
Best potential second-round matchup: Top-seeded Baylor against No. 8 seed Ohio State. The consensus on the Buckeyes is that they deserved a better seed.
Team better than its seed: Sticking with 8-seed Ohio State on this one.
Team worse than its seed: No. 6 Nebraska. That is not meant as any disrespect to Nebraska. But in relation to Ohio State and both teams being from the Big Ten, it's just an interesting thing to look at those two seeds side by side.
Biggest snub: No. 2 seed Duke in Nashville. The Blue Devils were probably expecting to be in Chapel Hill. Instead, they have to potentially play a second-round meeting with Vanderbilt in the Commodores' town.
Biggest surprise: That No. 2 seed Kentucky and third-seeded Miami are in the same region in Kingston. That could be a pretty amazing matchup if it happens in the regional semifinal.
Possible Cinderella: Green Bay. The Phoenix play an interesting system, and most teams don't play against a team like Green Bay in the regular season. The Phoenix could get to the Elite Eight. A team that could get to the Final Four is Maryland. The Terps have depth at the post, a star in Alyssa Thomas, an experienced backcourt, and Maryland has bodies to match up with most teams. The Terps are the team that best matches up with Baylor. Of course, they have to reach the national championship to even get a shot.
Most talent in one region: Des Moines. Just looking at Baylor's and Tennessee's rosters, they're loaded with talent. Ohio State has Samantha Prahalis. Delaware's Elena Delle Donne has real star power.
Under-the-radar player: Point guard Jasmine Lister from Vanderbilt. I really like her game. I just watched (video of) her playing in a win against Tennessee at Vanderbilt, and Lister was absolutely outstanding.
Final Four: I'm going with the chalk and sticking with all the No. 1 seeds: Baylor, Stanford, Notre Dame and Connecticut.
Who wins? Baylor is still the team to beat. If it goes chalk, the Lady Bears will have beaten two of the three other No. 1 seeds that could be there. I'm picking Baylor as my champ over Notre Dame.
Tuesday Women's Bracketology update
Check back later Tuesday night for our full bracket. But for now, here are the main changes after Tuesday's Sun Belt championship game:
• Middle Tennessee lost in the Sun Belt final to Arkansas-Little Rock but stays in the field.
• As a result, North Carolina falls out of the field.
• Middle Tennessee slips to the No. 10 seed line, Princeton rises to the No. 9 line and UALR enters as a No. 14 seed.

Duke first 1-seed to lose before ACC semis
Quarterfinal Friday at the ACC tournament was the perfect example of why conference tournaments are terrific. And it was also the perfect example of why they aren't. It all depends on your point of view, of course.
If you were wearing NC State red or Wake Forest black on Friday, then you're singing the praises of that extra chance to do something special in a second season that the league tourney provides.
But if you were clad in Duke blue or Miami green/orange, guess what? You overpacked for the trip to Greensboro, N.C., because your team's stay is finished. Then again, you can stick around to grumpily watch the 9-seed Wolfpack meet 4-seed Georgia Tech, followed by No. 3 Maryland -- the Terps avoided the upset bug in their quarterfinal nightcap victory over Virginia -- versus No. 7 Wake Forest.
Now who out there would have picked those matchups for semifinal Saturday? Probably nobody. Duke and Miami were the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds in the ACC tournament and projected as No. 2 seeds in the NCAA field, along with Maryland. Now we'll see how that holds up with both the Blue Devils and Hurricanes forced into spectator status so early.
How odd was all this? The top seed at the ACC tournament previously had never been eliminated before the semifinals. And how unlikely was it that NC State would be the one to bounce Duke? The Wolfpack were just 5-11 in conference play this season, losing 83-59 to the Blue Devils back in early January.
Furthermore, there was nothing results-wise in the last month to suggest the Wolfpack would make any noise in Greensboro: They had lost six of their eight games in February. Yet they are in the ACC semifinals thanks to a 74-71 win over Florida State, a mild upset, and a 75-73 win over Duke, a major surprise.
Meanwhile, Wake Forest's 81-74 win over Miami was actually a bit less of a surprise. The Demon Deacons had a pretty good February, winning five of eight. That came after a rough January when Wake went 2-7, but seemed to figure out some things. So have the Deacs now done enough to nudge themselves into NCAA tournament discussion? Also, did No. 5 seed North Carolina, which fell to No. 4 seed Georgia Tech 54-53 in Friday's first quarterfinal, move to the wrong side of the bubble?
One thing is for sure: The big winner seems to be Maryland, which now might well end up getting the best seeding/placement of all the ACC squads. That is, if the Terps can avoid the fate that befell Duke and Miami.
More than NCAA bids are on the line
Championship Week has arrived. For some, it is the best 11 days of the college basketball season. For others, conference tournaments are a way to kill time until the magic of March known as the NCAA tournament gets started.
But this year, even in the big conferences in which so many teams have already secured bids, the games still have huge meaning. The ACC, Big Ten and SEC tournaments, among others, open Thursday, and for some teams the ramifications are obvious. For others, the value isn't as evident, but these outcomes are no less important.
Virginia and North Carolina both must win their opening-round games to feel secure, but the Tar Heels could also really use a quarterfinal upset of Georgia Tech. UNC's résumé is OK, but there are bad parts: a lower RPI and some alarming margins of defeat. The Heels' status in the field is largely built on the limited competition for the final few spots, so beating a Top 25 team like the Yellow Jackets could go a long way.
But the ACC tournament will do more than decide the fate of teams on the bubble; it could actually have a lasting effect on how the NCAA tournament plays out. Here's why: Duke and Miami both figure to be at least No. 2 seeds in the NCAA tournament, and if chalk holds this week, they would meet in the ACC final. If when the time comes the Blue Devils and Hurricanes are both 2-seeds, whichever one (and remember, Maryland is in the mix to win the ACC, too) wins the ACC tournament is also likely to be higher on the selection board (right now, Duke is five, and Miami is six).
With so many host schools (Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, DePaul, LSU and Iowa State) as potential No. 7 or No. 10 seeds, and Maryland (another host) also being projected as a No. 2, there might be only one spot for another No. 2 seed not to be playing a potential second-round game on the road (Nos. 7, 10, 2 and 15 seeds are in the same subregional). So whichever team fairs better in the ACC will be given higher consideration to avoid that road situation. For example, in the most recent Bracketology posted Monday, Duke was higher-ranked on the selection board and therefore -- with only one subregional in that 7, 10, 2, 15 segment unoccupied by a host -- was given that one slot of two truly neutral opening games. Miami, because the Canes came in behind Duke in the ACC standings and on the selection board, got saddled with a potential second-round game against Vanderbilt in Nashville. If the Hurricanes win the ACC tournament, they would leapfrog Duke and get that higher consideration.
So you see, even though both are obviously in the field, and both are No. 2 seeds, triumphing this weekend could make a huge difference in how difficult a team's path is in the NCAA tournament. Not all same seeds are necessarily created equal.
Big Ten
The weekend in Indianapolis is big for a few teams, but for different reasons. Michigan needs to right the ship. Beating Illinois is a must. Beating Ohio State would really help create some safety for the Wolverines if there are some upsets in some smaller leagues (CAA, Horizon, Sun Belt).
The Buckeyes, meanwhile, also need a little bit of a run, probably to the Big Ten final, just to show the committee that what once made them a 23-3 team isn't gone. The blowout losses at Penn State and Nebraska last week have likely left some doubt, and Ohio State's seed will hinge on erasing it.
Penn State is the conference champ but might need to win the tournament title as well to be a No. 3 seed. With anything short of reaching the final, the Lady Lions are probably staring at a No. 4 and the potential burden of playing a No. 1 seed in the Sweet 16.
Tennessee and Kentucky are the two best candidates for the final No. 2 seed at this point. Given how evenly the résumés stack up, the better team in Nashville will win out. A meeting in the final would be the rubber match and would be the easiest way to solve any question as to which should be seeded higher. Of course, Georgia, South Carolina, LSU and Arkansas will have plenty to say about preventing that matchup, while improving their seed position for the NCAA tournament at the same time.
Arkansas and South Carolina might have the most to gain. Florida also can't afford a stumble against Auburn, and while a quarterfinal loss to Kentucky wouldn't hurt the Gators' chances to make the field, a win would seal the deal.
Duke keeps overcoming setbacks
Friday morning, I listed some of the candidates for the coach of the year but, of course, there are always others who deserve mentioning. One, in fact, got a big victory Friday night.
Duke maintained its mastery over Miami, and in the process earned the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament and at least a share of the league's regular-season championship.
The No. 7 Blue Devils' 74-64 victory over the No. 5 Hurricanes moved Duke's all-time record over Miami to 9-0. And Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie did it with a team that doesn't really look like what she was hoping/expecting it to when the school year began.
The two biggest puzzle pieces -- sophomore guard Chelsea Gray and freshman center Elizabeth Williams -- have stayed in place all season for Duke. And they were excellent Friday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Williams had 19 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Gray had 12 points and nine assists.
Even more weight has been on them because Duke has taken such a large personnel hit. The Blue Devils have lost two forwards to injury -- freshman Amber Henson is redshirting the season with a knee injury and sophomore Richa Jackson suffered a torn ACL on Feb. 15 -- and guard Chloe Wells was suspended for this semester because of a violation of university policy.
Add in the fact that Duke lost three senior starters from last season: Jasmine Thomas, Krystal Thomas and Karima Christmas. There also are two assistant coaches in their first year in that role with the Blue Devils, both of whom previously played for McCallie: Candace Jackson at Michigan State and Joy Cheek at Duke.
As a result of all of this, McCallie has needed to do as much nurturing of young talent as any coach of a top program this season. Duke is 23-4 overall and 14-1 in the ACC. Friday, the Blue Devils showed both the defensive prowess that McCallie's teams are know for but also more of a needed consistency on offense. Duke shot 48.5 percent from the field.
All things considered -- including the fact that Miami was riding a 13-game winning streak -- Duke appeared vulnerable coming into this game. But that didn't manifest itself the way the Hurricane would have hoped.
One of Duke's primary storylines this season is how a young squad is playing older than its years. Yet Friday showed that some credit does go to Duke's two seniors, Kathleen Scheer and Shay Selby, too. Both had a memorable senior night Friday, starting and combining for 12 points and nine rebounds.
It's been a decade since Duke's "Eight is Enough" team made it to the Women's Final Four in 2002. This squad is also down to eight scholarship players, and Friday's win gives the Blue Devils just a little more cushion come NCAA tournament time in regard to seeding.
That said, Duke still has to face North Carolina in Chapel Hill on Sunday (ESPN2, 3 p.m. ET). The Tar Heels -- who lost by 20 points Friday at Maryland -- definitely have something to play for in terms of adding more security to their postseason position. UNC is 19-9 overall and 9-6 in the ACC.
Duke absolutely shellacked the Tar Heels 96-56 in Durham on Feb. 6, so there is a bit of a pride factor for UNC, too.
Duke has displayed a lot of pride this season. This past Sunday -- just four days after the disappointment and sadness of seeing Jackson get hurt -- the Blue Devils played a gutsy game at Maryland. Though Duke lost 63-61 for its first ACC defeat this year, it showed the Blue Devils' resiliency.
Meanwhile, Miami could still share the ACC title if the Hurricanes (24-4, 13-2) beat Boston College at home Sunday and UNC defeats Duke. But the top seed in next week's ACC tournament is set, as Duke secured it for the third consecutive season.
McCallie's Blue Devils have won the league tournament title the last two years, and were expected to challenge for it again this season, of course. But to still be in such strong position to do that despite the setbacks Duke has faced is one of the national success stories that perhaps has been underappreciated this season.
Who are Bracketology's top eight teams?
There's no surprise among the No. 1 seeds, which would be Baylor, Connecticut, Notre Dame and Stanford. But which teams join Maryland as a No. 2? ESPN.com's Charlie Creme gives us a brief Bracketology update, with a full field of 64 coming Jan. 9.
Tournament Challenge by the numbers
Sixteen teams are perfect in the women's NCAA tournament so far. But in the Women's Tournament Challenge, there are no perfect brackets.
Only one bracket correctly picked the Sweet 16, and that was after going 31-for-32 (the only incorrect game was Marquette over Texas) in the first round.
Two users got each first-round pick correct and then missed just one game in the second round.
The most popular result for the Sweet 16 was a bracket that had 10 of the 16 teams in the regional semifinals correct. Brackets with 26 of 32 teams correct were the most popular result after the first round.
A look at each region:
• Just 0.65 percent of entries had Xavier to win the national championship.
• Meanwhile, 66.4 percent of brackets had Louisville meeting Xavier in the second round, but only 13 percent believed Louisville would win the matchup, while 3.3 percent of users have Louisville in the Elite Eight and 0.3 percent have it in the Final Four.
• UCLA, the No. 3 seed in the Spokane Regional, was predicted by 76 percent of brackets to make the Sweet 16, 34.5 percent to make the Elite Eight and 4.5 percent to win its region. Only 9.3 percent of users had Gonzaga making it this far, and only 1.8 percent have the team in the Final Four. While 31.3 percent overall predicted the matchup between Gonzaga and UCLA, 26.7 percent had Gonzaga winning.
• One percent of entries had Louisville and Gonzaga playing against each other in the third round, and 63.1 percent of those predictors had Louisville winning.
• Just 0.5 percent of entries predicted that Stanford, UNC, Louisville and Gonzaga would make the Sweet 16.
Potential Elite Eight matchups:
• Stanford vs. Gonzaga: 2.4 percent of entries predicted the matchup with 83.7 percent of those entries predicting Stanford wins
• Stanford vs. Louisville: 2.6 percent of entries predicted the matchup with 93.1 percent of those entries predicting Stanford wins
• UNC vs. Gonzaga: 0.2 percent of entries predicted the matchup with 66.6 percent of those entries predicting UNC wins
• UNC vs. Louisville: 0.3 percent of entries predicted the matchup with 75.5 percent of those entries predicting UNC wins
• 19.1 percent of entries predicted that UConn, Georgetown, Duke and DePaul would make the Sweet 16 out of this region.
• 98.6 percent of brackets had UConn in the Sweet 16, 96.3 percent in the Elite Eight and 89.6 percent in the Final Four. 51.5 percent of brackets have UConn winning it all.
What does that mean? Not good things for Georgetown: 29 percent had Georgetown advancing to the Sweet 16, but only 0.6 percent have the Hoyas making it any further. 28.7 percent of entries predicted this matchup against UConn, but only 1.5 percent have Georgetown ousting the No. 1 seed. Only 73 brackets predicted Georgetown as national champion.

Underdogs come close in ACC, Big Ten, SEC
The day of "almost" upsets started in Greensboro, N.C., where one of the participants used to be on the other side. Kellie Harper won three SEC tournament titles as a player for powerhouse Tennessee.
Now in her first season as head coach at NC State, Harper was on the underdog side. Her Wolfpack, the No. 6 seed in the ACC tournament, were trying to knock off top-seeded Duke. NC State was attempting to win the program's fifth ACC tourney title, but first since 1991.
Iowa, meanwhile, was in the Big Ten tournament final for the first time since 2001. And in the SEC final, Kentucky was making its first appearance since 1982. So
It could have been a huge day for long shots getting automatic NCAA tournament bids. But none of them quite came through. Instead, the top seeds came away with hard-fought and well-earned victories in the ACC, Big Ten and SEC -- but their opponents proved something, too.
We'll start with the ACC, which except for Maryland's title last year has been the province of Duke or North Carolina for the past decade -- although the Blue Devils hadn't won a championship since 2004.
Duke lost its regular-season finale to the Tar Heels, and then just squeaked past Maryland by a basket in the ACC quarterfinals. Duke beat Georgia Tech in the semis.
Meanwhile, the Wolfpack upset third-seeded Virginia in the quarterfinals and then defeated another tourney upstart, Boston College, in the semis.
NC State had hit a low point in losing 70-39 to Duke on Feb. 11; after that loss, the Wolfpack were 13-11 (3-6 ACC). But soon the "magic" of the Pink Zone came through again. On Valentine's Day, during a stretch when teams across the country wore pink to honor the late Kay Yow and raise funds for cancer research, NC State beat Miami to start a run in which the Wolfpack won seven of their next eight games entering the ACC final.
Duke won the championship 70-60 Sunday afternoon, and the Blue Devils have finished their 27-5 résumé to submit to the NCAA committee for a likely a No. 2 seed. Meanwhile, NC State (20-13) hopes its strong finish is enough to earn an at-large bid, which is expected.
"I'm extremely proud of our team for so many reasons," said Harper, who had the difficult job of replacing the legendary Yow in Raleigh. "For improving, for believing, for working hard in practice, for playing together. In that locker room, I was proud of them for wanting more. They are hurt they didn't win this game, and I am so proud of that.
"I think our kids have proven over the last few weeks that we're an NCAA tournament team."
In Indianapolis, Iowa came oh-so-close to finishing off an amazing turnaround from being in last place in the Big Ten in mid-January. The Hawkeyes lost to Ohio State 66-64 in the league tournament final, but this is one time when quite honestly Iowa had to be pretty happy just to be there.
Starting last November, it seemed this season would be nothing but awful news for the Hawkeyes. They lost their only senior, JoAnn Hamlin, to a serious blood clot that forced her to end her career. Freshman Theairra Taylor (ACL) and sophomore Hannah Draxten (herniated disk) were also lost for the season.
The Hawkeyes were 8-10 and had lost four in a row going into their Jan. 21 game at Illinois.
But then, everything changed. A switch was flipped, and Iowa has since won 11 of its last 14. That was almost 12 of 14, as Iowa built a lead as large as 16 points against Ohio State in the Big Ten final.
But the Buckeyes had a little too much Jantel Lavender, who had 35 points and 10 rebounds. Her layup with 1 minute, 20 seconds left tied the score, and her two free throws with 1.9 seconds left won it.
Ohio State (30-4) now just waits for a great seed while the Hawkeyes (19-13) wait for an invitation. But two months ago, nobody was expecting Iowa would be doing anything at this point except getting ready for next season.
Lastly, Tennessee now has won 14 SEC tournament titles, but this one -- thanks to a 70-62 victory over No. 2 seed Kentucky in Sunday night's final -- means a lot because of the trials of last season.
Tennessee, of course, lost in the first round of the 2009 NCAA tournament -- the program's first loss ever in the first round (the Lady Vols had never failed to reach the Sweet 16 until last season). That ended an extremely frustrating 2008-09 for coach Pat Summitt and her young team.
This season, Summitt still hasn't solved all of Tennessee's concerns, but it's a significantly more accomplished team. Don't look now, but Tennessee is 30-2 -- yet almost absurdly under the radar.
Most of the attention has been going to that one team from the Northeast that Tennessee doesn't play in the regular season anymore, plus the surprising and undefeated Nebraska Cornhuskers, a new kid on the NCAA title-contending block.
But anyone who overlooks Tennessee as a potential national championship threat should think twice. The Orange Crush will be a No. 1 seed again and surely in the Memphis Regional.
Tennessee advanced to San Antonio the last time the Women's Final Four was there (2002) and could be making a return trip this year.
But Kentucky has been a great story this season, too. Victoria Dunlap was named the SEC Player of the Year, while A'dia Mathies won the rookie honor and Matthew Mitchell the coaching award. And the Wildcats, despite being picked to finish second-to-last in the league, instead finished runner-up to Tennessee -- both in the regular season and the tournament.
Kentucky (25-7) lost by 16 points at Tennessee on Feb. 25. Cutting that gap in half on a neutral court Sunday is not a bad way for the Wildcats to head into the NCAA tournament.

Sometimes customers rave about books, but without more marketing from publishers behind them, the books fail to sell. To boost authors and sales, Amazon.com will identify such tomes and give them an extra push online—and in stores.
Amazon.com customers raved over "Legacy," a self-published novel by 16-year-old Cayla Kluver, with customer review titles such as "loved it, loved it," "rich lyrical tapestry and story" and "breathtaking in scope and execution!" Despite winning several prizes from literary groups and accolades like these from readers, Kluver's debut novel sold only modestly.
To help readers discover such hidden gems and to help boost sales, Amazon.com Inc. has unveiled AmazonEncore. Through this program, Amazon.com is using information such as customer reviews to identify exceptional, overlooked books and authors that show potential for greater sales. Amazon then partners with the authors to reintroduce their books to readers through marketing support and distribution into multiple channels and formats, such as the Amazon Books Store, Amazon Kindle Store, Audible.com, and national and independent bookstores via third-party wholesalers.
This summer Kluver will revise "Legacy." Amazon.com, No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, will then re-issue the book as an AmazonEncore edition in print on Amazon.com, in physical bookstores, as a digital download from the Kindle Store, and via spoken-word audio download on Audible.com.
"Sometimes exceptional books and new authors don't get the attention they deserve. We're fortunate at Amazon to have customers who know great books and aren't shy about telling us when they find one. We developed AmazonEncore to connect readers with great books that were overlooked the first time they were released," says Jeff Belle, vice president of books. "Cayla Kluver is a gifted young writer who shows promise for the future. She exemplifies the kind of authors that AmazonEncore will support and we look forward to showcasing 'Legacy' and many more similarly talented, but undiscovered voices to our customers through this program."

The one bright spot in the long, dark night (if I can say that without being accused of racism) into which America has slid it is the Administration's idiot savant, Vice President Joe Biden. Today CNSNews (obligatory h/t to Drudge) reports on Biden's appearance at an AARP sponsored "town hall" meeting in Alexandria, VA, in which Biden clearly articulates a previously undiscovered economic principal: you can spend your way out of bankruptcy.
"We're going to go bankrupt as a nation," Biden said.
"Well, people when I say that look at me and say, 'What are you talking about? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?'" Biden said. "The answer is yes, I'm telling you."
(I'm sure video will appear in the future but for the moment there is only audio.)
The American Spectator picks up on another Biden instant classic:
Biden noted that Medicare and Medicaid, unless changes are made, "will eventually grow larger than what our government spends on everything else in the world combined."
The Washington Post, unsurprisingly, refuses to report Biden's blindingly stupid statements, but even their supportive coverage contains the certifiably bizarre.
"We're doing things that we know are going to save you, your children and your grand children billions of dollars over the next years. But we're not able to prove it," Biden said. He said the Obama administration has studied the effects of their proposed reforms and that reports have shown that the plan will save money.
"We're not going to increase the deficit. By covering more people you'll save money," he said.
Biden's airy dismissal of everything humans have learned about economics since Eve opened a discount fruit stand is funny until you realize this actually reflects the administration's fiscal policies.
They are, indeed, attempting to spend their way out of a financial mess largely of their own making. They have presided over the destruction of billions of dollars of capital and thrashed a century or so of bankruptcy law in their nationalization of GM. Now they are intent on destroying any free market solutions to providing health care.
Ultimately, they will find that basic priniciples of economics can no more be defied than basic principles of physics. Tremendous damage will be done to our economy and our social fabric in the interim but one can't expect achieving a dictatorship of the proletariat to be painless I suppose.

MODENA, Italy — "Tomorrow, one priest less," said the political commissioner of one of the Communist Party's "Garibaldi Brigades" of Monchio, a small town in the northern Italian province of Modena. Those words uttered in 1945 signaled the commissioner's decision that seminarian Rolando Rivi had to be executed. Rivi was only 14, and now he is the Church's first beatified seminarian.
Rivi's beatification took place Oct. 5 in Modena, and it was a true "feast of faith." Nearly 20,000 people attended the event, coming from the Emilia Romagna region of northern Italy, also known as "the triangle of death."
From 1943-1949, approximately 4,500 people were killed in this region by communists....READ MORE

Soaking in the Pashas' Pools
By SARAH FARMER; Sarah Farmer is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of California, Berkeley.
Published: November 26, 1989
Budapest is a bather's dream city. Nowhere else in the world will you find this combination of a rich cultural life, magnificent architecture and good restaurants with endless possibilities for bathing and swimming in pools fed by thermal springs.
What Texas is to oil, Hungary is to thermal waters. This immense natural resource lies under 90 percent of the national territory. Budapest alone has 123 thermal springs. The traveler can spend a full day sightseeing and unwind in one of the city's myriad bathing establishments, before going out to dinner or a concert. One can steam in Turkish baths, loll about in tiled thermal pools, exercise in spacious swimming pools and finish off with a professional massage.
Most of the baths are on the right bank of the Danube in the historic district of Buda just over the river from the commercial and cultural center of Pest. Open from 6:30 A.M. to 7 P.M., all are easily accessible by foot or by Budapest's excellent public transport. The entrance fee to most baths and swimming pools is less than a dollar, and for a minimal additional fee one can rent towels, suits and bathing caps and lock up valuables in a safe-deposit box.
Ever since the Romans first set up camp in the northern reaches of the city, travelers have praised the beneficial effects of local waters for their medicinal and spiritual powers. As early as 1438 the knight Bertrand de la Broquiere, on his way back to France after a crusade in the Holy Land, noted the plenitude of hot baths situated outside the castle ramparts of Buda. When the Turks occupied Buda from 1541 to 1686, pashas built luxurious steambaths and thermal pools on these sites - many of which are still in use today. The 17th-century Turkish traveler Evilia Chebali swore by the water's healing powers: ''It is beneficial for the French sickness and for seven other ills. The rule for the use of these baths is that when the body becomes quite red in it, one must leave the water and keep oneself warm.''
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Hungarian doctors emphasized the thermal cure. Today, many of the baths have modern medical units where people seek relief for ailments ranging from rheumatism, degenerative joint and spinal problems, gout and respiratory illnesses to gynecological disorders and infertility. Whatever the healing properties of the waters, the sheer pleasure of the relaxation they provide do wonders for both body and soul. Armed with a good map, a list of the baths and a few key words of Hungarian or German, the 20th-century visitor can indulge to his heart's content in a variety of splendid settings.
A good place to start the bather's equivalent of a pub crawl is at the Gellert Hotel and Medicinal Baths, situated in a magnificently restored Art Nouveau building on the right bank of the Danube at the abutment of the Szabadsag Bridge (Szabadsag Hid). The baths are accessible to the public by the entrance on Kelenhegyi Ut (Street), and to hotel guests directly from the hotel. One enters from the street through an arch carved with sculptures symbolizing healing, and arrives in an imposing vaulted foyer decorated from floor to ceiling with intricate mosaics. At the end of this long hall stands a statue of Venus balancing a cherub on her shoulder. Decisions must be made immediately for, as in most of Budapest's baths, each activity requires a separate ticket. Services and prices are listed on painted placards on the cashier's wooden booth. Swimmers who need a towel leave a deposit of approximately $1.50, which is reimbursed on the way out.
The Gellert offers swimming in an indoor pool flanked by stone columns and lion's heads that gush water. Those who just feel like taking it easy watch life go by from one of the underwater benches at the shallow end of the pool. During the warmer months one can also use an outdoor pool with artificial waves.
Though both men and women swim at the pool, they part ways at the baths, since the thermal and steam bathing is done in the nude. On entering the dressing rooms, the first-time visitor may be somewhat confused as to how to proceed. Since most of the attendants speak only Hungarian, often your best recourse is to watch the locals. At all baths in Budapest, the visitor undresses and leaves his clothes in an individual cabin that is locked by an attendant. Covered by a ridiculously small apron (provided at the locker room door), one follows signs to the thermal pools, steam baths and sauna. It's up to you whether to keep wearing your apron - hardly anyone does. The setting of the dimly lighted, extravagantly tiled bathing hall is grandiose, the mood rather sedate and formal. Whereas at other baths women come to both gossip and bathe, here silence is appreciated. Stone steps lead into two shallow pools of different temperatures - 96.8 and 100.4 degrees - filled with thermal water containing a rich brew of calcium, magnesium, hydrocarbonate, alkalies, sulfate and fluoride. Beyond are showers and a steam bath. On a recent afternoon the clientele included young and old, Hungarians and international tourists. An endless supply of clean white towels is provided.

Never mind the multinationals. For China exposure, investors should buy the real thing.
In recent years, recommending multinational corporations that derive revenue from China has been a popular strategy. China's economy has slowed, its market has underperformed, and accounting scandals have dominated the headlines. That's made companies like Yum! Brands YUM 0.37980339588918677% Yum! Brands Inc.

But recent events have shown that large multinationals are far from immune to the problems that come with investing in China. On Jan. 18, for instance, Caterpillar CAT 0.6191574602403788% Caterpillar Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD82.88 0.51 0.6191574602403788% /Date(1475010058728-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4184806 AFTER HOURS USD82.65 -0.22999999999999 -0.2775096525096525% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 110790 P/E Ratio 44.55913978494624 Market Cap 48123110562.7683 Dividend Yield 3.7162162162162162% Rev. per Employee 395412 More quote details and news » (CAT) said it would write down the investment it made in ERA Mining Machinery (8043.Hong Kong), because of fraudulent accounting. Yum, meanwhile, was hit by allegations of toxic chicken at its KFC chain, which caused the stock to lose 5% during the past three months. And Bank of America sold down its stake in China Construction Bank for a nice profit but never got the foothold in China that it had hoped for.
The upshot: Investors who believe in China's long-term growth story should invest in China itself and not its proxies, says Marten Hoekstra, CEO of Emerging Global Advisors. "Developed-market-based multinationals will be challenged there," he says. "And Chinese companies will be more likely to succeed."
Some argue that loading up on companies with large revenue exposure to China gives investors the best of both worlds—the safety of the U.S. with the high growth of China. Yet that isn't always the case. In the past year, a basket of companies with exposure to China have gained just 7.8%, including reinvested dividends, according to Bloomberg data, far less than the 17.7% returned by the MSCI China Index and the 16.2% return of the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
"If you're 65 and have exposure through the S&P 500, you will benefit from China," says Todd Henry, an emerging-markets equity portfolio specialist at T. Rowe Price. For younger investors, he says, "I think it's shortsighted."
The good news is that for just about every U.S. company in China, there's a local alternative. Investors who believe in the growth of China's Internet could consider Baidu BIDU 1.0431007095202796% Baidu Inc. ADR U.S.: Nasdaq USD190.83 1.97 1.0431007095202796% /Date(1475010000445-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1584701 AFTER HOURS USD190.4 -0.430000000000007 -0.22533144683749934% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 21409 P/E Ratio 13.295941473610869 Market Cap 65458786471.9356 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 266102 More quote details and news » (BIDU) and Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU), which have gotten positive comments from BofA Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan, and UBS.

U.S.: NYSE USD56.02 2.12 3.933209647495362% /Date(1475010123021-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2387256 AFTER HOURS USD56.02 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 804 P/E Ratio 17.1840490797546 Market Cap 7528536336.78588 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 355250 More quote details and news » (CCK) could consider CPMC Holdings (906.Hong Kong), says Alexander Muromcew, portfolio manager for the $676 million TIAA-CREF Emerging Markets Equity fund (TEMRX).
China's accounting still leaves much to be desired, but there are rules of thumb that can help weed out potential problems. Investors should avoid companies without long track records, says Richard Gao, portfolio manager of the $2.1 billion Matthews China Fund (MCHFX), who recommends at least three years of history. And the shorter the track record, the more due diligence required: "You have to look at whether management has been able to deliver what they promised in the past," Gao says.
Investors should also avoid getting too excited about any single stock, Henry says. That's because China's companies enjoy advantages such as high economic growth rates, which can make just about any stock look like a buy. Henry's recommendation: "Spend a lot of time looking for reasons you don't want to own a company," he says.
Investors will still find plenty of opportunities in China.

Hey everyone!
For my Lipstick Challenge today, I'm wearing a classic deep red from Shiseido Perfect Rouge range. I received this 4 lip palette sample with one of my purchases which had 3 neutral and pink shades and this gorgeous red!
Quick Overview of Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick RD 514 Dragon :
Out of the 4 shades in the sample lip palette, this is the one I liked most as the other shades washed me out. I love the feel and the formula of Shiseido lipsticks, would definitely pick up a full sized tube of RD 514 Dragon in the future!
I've paired this with simple eye makeup : a wash of white gold all over the lid, liner and mascara (Sorry, forgot to take close ups of eye makeup, I'm headed out for a photo shoot today for a very interesting magazine feature! Will fill you in with the details soon!)
Products used on the eyes :
- L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Instant Impact felt liner
- L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Mascara
- Miss Claire eye shadow 0231 (all over lid + browbone)

After 35 straight days without precipitation, the skies have finally delivered a bit of moisture to the parched Kanto Plain.
And it is in the form of snow.
The child inside me (who is not all that different from the child outside) says, "Yippee!"
