Budapest, Hungary
Call for Papers
This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference seeks to investigate and explore the enduring influence and imagery of monsters and the monstrous on human culture throughout history. In particular, the project will have a dual focus with the intention of examining specific 'monsters' as well as assessing the role, function and consequences of persons, actions or events identified as 'monstrous'. The history and contemporary cultural influences of monsters and monstrous metaphors will also be examined.
Perspectives are sought from those engaged in the fields of literature, media studies, cultural studies, history, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, health and theology. Ideas are welcomed from those involved in academic study, fictional explorations, and applied areas (e.g. youth work, criminology and medicine).
Papers, reports, work-in-progress and workshops are invited on issues related to any of the following themes:
Papers will also be accepted which deal solely with specific monsters.
Papers are also solicited for special sessions which will be held in common with a second research project running at the same time entitled 'The Erotic - Exploring Critical Issues'. Papers dealing with themes of monsters, horror, sexuality and the erotic are encouraged across all disciplines and areas; indicative examples could include 'monstrous sexualities' (bestiality, paedophilia), or the eroticisation of the monster in horror genres (Dracula, for example), or the representation of the erotic and sex as horrible and/or demonic.
Papers will be considered on any related theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 28th January 2005. If your paper is accepted for presentation at the conference, an 8 page draft paper should be submitted by Friday 15th April 2005.
300 word abstracts should be submitted to both the Organising Joint Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, PDF or RTF formats.

Lester Brown's Plan B 3.0
In Lester R. Brown's new book Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization (2008, full-text)) - an update to Plan B 2.0: Rescuing a Planet Under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble (2006, full-text) - he calls for a war-time mobilization (ch.13) to save global civilization (already showing Early Signs of Decline (ch.6)) from Deteriorating Oil and Food Security (ch.2), Rising Temperatures and Rising Seas (ch.3), Emerging Water Shortages (ch.4), and Natural Systems Under Stress (ch.5)
World's Biggest and Most Expensive Ship
Project Genesis - "It's destined to be the world's largest cruise ship—when launched next year, Royal Caribbean's US$1.24 billion Project Genesis will be 1,180 feet long, and carry 5400 passengers (6,400 at a pinch). It's the most expensive ship in history, and it's longer, wider and taller than the largest ocean liner ever built, (Cunard's QE II), 43 per cent larger in size than the world's largest cruise ship, (Freedom of the Seas [previously]) and remarkably, bigger than any military ship ever built, aircraft carriers included. In a world where choice of amenities count, Project Genesis has yet another trump card—in the the center of the ship is a lush, tropical park which opens to the sky." cf. The Lilypad
Abrupt climate change
Abrupt climate change is popularly thought of in the movies. But new Greenland ice core findings show two huge Northern Hemisphere temperature spikes occured prior to the close of the last ice age some 11,500 years ago, with a 22-degree-Fahrenheit spike in just 50 years. These followed a massive "reorganization" of atmospheric circulation taking just one or two years. "We know such events are in Earth's future, but we don't know when .. we are speeding blindly down a narrow road, hoping there are no curves ahead." [more inside]
New Kiribati
New Kiribati "...will future climate change refugees become a new caste of service sector workers inhabiting a sort of Floating Hotel & Duty Free Mall ... ?" Small island states are on the front line.
A number we can live with
Today marks the official 8-language launch of 350.org and the start of global action against climate change. But what does this 350 number even mean? As author Bill McKibben and a chorus of scientific voices suggest, it means everything to the planet. If we want an earth at all, we'll need an Earth at 350.
End of the World? ABC wants your ideas
Earth2100.tv is a project by ABC (video preview) to solicit ideas from the public and experts about the dangers facing world in the next 100 years. "The world's brightest minds agree that the "perfect storm" of population growth, resource depletion and climate change could converge with catastrophic results. We need you to bring this story to life."
Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be Green
Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be Green. Last month, Wired published what it called "10 green heresies" which makes the case for urban living, intensive forest management and, er, air conditioning, among other things.
A Changing Neighborhood

Sucking CO2
Sucking CO2 out of the air has long been a holy grail for solving global warming; Richard Branson has promised $25m to anyone who succeeds. Of course it's already been done, but the amount of energy required doesn't make it net carbon positive. Now a team in Arizona, led by Klaus Lacknet under the company of Global Research Technologies, says it has made a significant breakthrough that massively reduces the amount of energy required - the "project has reached the stage where it is quite clear we can do it." The planned prototype, which will be finished in two years, will cost $200,000 USD, be smaller than a shipping container and be capable of eliminating around 1 ton of CO2. Even if it works many hurdles remain but it portends a cooler future for air-capture technology.

Al Gore's slideshow reprise, now with 100% more urgency!
At TED this past March, Al Gore once again presented the Mother of all Power Point Shows. This time around, there is a renewed sense of urgency, with updated slides about Arctic sea ice loss, among other things. More so than in the past, Gore specifically focuses on the necessity for laws to change, and how before that can happen, politics, especially American politics, must change as well. Another theme of Gore's latest TED appearance is how climate change is also a tremendous opportunity for a new heroic generation, to be remembered as the ones who solved the greatest crisis of human civilization.
Nelly Furtado insists
Earth Hour For one hour tonight, turn off the lights and help conserve energy. Supporters of the plan say it is the equivalent of taking nearly 50,000 cars off the road for an hour. Critics say it's equivalent to taking 6 cars off the road for a year, and claim that media coverage of the effects is greatly exaggerated.
Who knew global warming was so useful
Global warming - good for elephants? The melting of the tundra means that more wooly mammoth remains are surfacing. And this means more mammoth ivory for carvings and other purposes. The linked article says conservationists are happy with this development, as it means ivory for the Asian market coming from extinct species rather than species that are nearly extinct. But is this really the answer?
The myth of food miles?
The locavore movement arose in recognition of the high environmental costs associated with imported food, particularly with respect to global warming (previously). This article from The Guardian (London) suggests that the carbon cost-benefit equation may be very hard to calculate, and that local (at least, without organic) may not always be better. As a planet we seem to be boxing ourselves into a very tight little environmental corner.
About 10% of Iceland is covered by glaciers. Thanks to the ongoing catastrophy of global warming, we Icelanders have noticed drastic changes in our poor glaciers. On of the more concerned individuals regarding this is the now retired physician Leifur Jonsson, who is seen in this report by National Geographic. The report does not contain, however, the story about when Leifur almost died on a glacier. In his younger years he got lost in a blizzard, skiied off cliffs and fell 900 feet into the crater of Grímsvötn, an active volcano underneath Icelands largest glacier Vatnajökull. Decades later, two people, also lost in a blizzard, accidentally drove off the same cliffs, as is reported here. The interesting part is that when they were brought to the Emergency Department of Landspitali-University Hospital in Reykjavik, the physician taking care of the was Leifur...
BC brings in revenue-neutral carbon tax
The revenue-neutral carbon tax: an idea whose time has come? The British Columbia government has just introduced a carbon tax, starting at $10/tonne in July 2008 and rising to $30/tonne in 2012. All revenues from the tax (close to $2 billion over three years) will be returned to taxpayers in the form of income tax cuts, reducing income and corporate taxes to the lowest levels in Canada. Details from the BC budget. Globe and Mail. [more inside]
A New Age of Sail?
Some time this month, French wine will once again be transported by sail. As the Guardian reports today, French vineyards concerned about climate change are about to make life much easier for oenophiles wishing to reduce their carbon footprint. Later this month, the Belem, a 19th century barque will sail from Languedoc to Dublin with 60,000 bottles of Bordeaux. [more inside]

Getting MAD at Bush
In all its 55 year history, MAD magazine has been known much more for media satire than political satire... anything political was often camouflaged as a movie or TV parody and generally less partisan than most. (How can you take their politics seriously when they offered Alfred E. Neuman for President?) Another thing about MAD is how rarely it goes outside its "Usual Cast of Idiots" for content. Well, things have changed, as the MAD editors used 10 Pulitzer Prize Winning Op/Ed Cartoonists to illustrate the incendiarilly-titled "Why George W. Bush Is in Favor of Global Warming". The usually web-shy MAD even allowed the New York Times to put most of the piece online in a slideshow. [more inside]

Let the best argument win
"Intended to deepen our understanding of disputes over climate change and the human contribution to it," the new 'Climate Debate Daily' is brought to you by the folks who created the well-known 'Arts and Letters Daily'. Links to everything from scientific articles through PR releases down to blog entries, are arranged on the page in 'face-off' format, with pros and cons in side-by-side columns. If you want to keep on top of the debate on climate change, it seems that you'll find no better source of information anywhere ..
Are dead-tree magazines good or bad for the climate?
"So by this analysis dead-tree magazines have a smaller net carbon footprint than web media. We cut down trees and put them in the ground. From a climate change perspective, this is a good thing" explains Chris Anderson, Wired Magazine's editor-in-chief. While some decry this type of carbon footprint accounting as "cheating", the paper industry has lately been eager to convince the public that they are carbon-neutral.
A defining issue of this generation
2007 was a year of extreme weather records, and 2008 could be worse, for example an unrelenting southeast drought could be devastating. 2008 will also be Bush's last year, and as the evidence for global warming mounts, Bush's agenda appears to be greening. "If global warming turns out to be a defining issue of this generation, advisers said, Bush does not want to be remembered as a roadblock."
The dangers of living in a zero-sum world economy - naked capitalism reprints (with added commentary) an FT article by Martin Wolf on why it's vital for (civilised) society to sustain a 'positive-sum' world, otherwise: "A zero-sum economy leads, inevitably, to repression at home and plunder abroad." Wolf's solution? "The condition for success is successful investment in human ingenuity." Of course! Some are calling for more socialism, while others would press on to build more megaprojects. For me, at least part of the solution lies in environmental accounting and natural capitalism :P
Global Development By The Numbers
The new UN Human Development Report is out. Lots of interesting stuff on climate change. But for me, nothing beats the Human Development Index, a number that means different things to different people.
A surprising idea for "solving" climate change
The historically significant* "4th IPCC report on global warming" was published in full last weekend to wide publicity. Part 1 "The Science". Part 2 "The Impacts" and Part 3 "The Solutions" - each about a 1000 page 6 pound brick, but summaries make it accessible. Beyond its gloomy dire warnings and calls for immediate action, observed global measurements of CO2 levels are already worse than the worse case scenarios and some say the report is overly conservative and already outdated. However there is a surprising idea for "solving" climate change (TED) that may be inevitable.

Scientists are getting a bit nervous.
In what it calls "the final wake-up call to the international community," a UN report (press release, website, 21 MB PDF) warns that damage to the environment is reaching a "point of no return" and now threatens "humanity's very survival." Oh, c'mon, tell us what you really think.
Warming Climate Fuels Mega-Fires
Warming Climate Fuels Mega-Fires (11-minute video) 60-Minutes reports. "Recently there has been an enormous change in Western fires. In truth, we've never seen anything like them in recorded history. It appears we're living in a new age of mega-fires -- forest infernos ten times bigger than the fires we're used to seeing."
The drought went down to Georgia, it was lookin' for some crops to steal...
Georgia's going dry -- and we're not talking liquor stores. Record temperatures in Georgia and a long drought have left many Georgia cities wondering when the taps will run dry. Some towns have only a few weeks of water left, while rivers near Athens have nearly dried up. A broken water main hasn't helped the problem, and some fear that the University of Georgia campus there may shut down for lack of water. What's more, Atlanta itself is already feeling the pressure, as Lake Lanier, a water source for 3 million residents, falls by 1.5 feet per week and has only a three month supply remaining. While there have been more severe (pdf) droughts in Georgia's history, rising population numbers have increased demand to now unsustainable levels.

On the brink of artificial life
Venter made an artificial chromosome and may have already created artificial life in his lab. Is it a solution for global warming, or a plot for world domination? Anyway, it's a lot to think about and discuss.
Creeping Climatic Catastrophe - 2007 a "mega disaster"
A record number of floods, droughts and storms around the world has been characterized as a climate change "mega disaster" by a senior UN official, a measure based on 13 emergency "flash" appeals (PDF, map) issued so far this year (pic gallery) - three more than in 2005 which held the previous record. Sir John has expressed frustration at how little media attention in the west is being devoted to what he terms a global "creeping climatic catastrophe".
Catholic Church goes green
The Catholic Church is traditionally not seen as a progressive institution, but when it comes to global warming, Vatican City is aiming to become the worlds first fully carbon-neutral state, and the Pope is expected to use his first address to the United Nations next April to deliver a powerful warning over climate change in a move to adopt protection of the environment as a "moral" cause for the Catholic Church and its billion-strong following.
The New New Environmentalism
Not ones for subtlety, the Death of Environmentalism guys (previously) are at it again with a Manifesto for a New Environmentalism. Their Apollo Alliance is getting early support from both Clinton and Obama. But it's not the only "new environmentalism" out there. There's this New Environmentalism, while others would include both market-based approaches among the the idols of old environmentalism.
Fasting in response to climate change
As the global climate changes, agriculture is sure to be affected. The Stern Review explains that "developing countries - in particular the poorest - are heavily dependent on agriculture, the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors." Working Group II of the IPCC says that: "Smallholder and subsistence farmers, pastoralists and artisanal fisherfolk will suffer complex, localised impacts of climate change (high confidence)." Meanwhile, some important staple crops are especially threatened by rising temperatures (though genetic engineering may help). You can experience a taste of it yourself, with a climate change awareness fast, taking place on Tuesday, September 4th.
the truth about denial: just a dry river bed
The "Great Climate Change Debate" finally on the cover of Newsweek - what's new, you ask? This is the story of the denial that global warming exists and how exactly the science behind the undeniable facts of increasing hurricanes, tsunamis, droughts, heatwaves and monsoons was muddied for profit. Bonus links from the same issue: Timeline of global warming and its denial and a slideshow of images from around the world on the effects but its one of those fancy interactive thingamajigs that doesn't allow it to be linked by an URL so be sure to take a look at it.

To most of the world, the fall is the beginning of the end of the year. For those of us who work at West Texas A&M University, the fall is the beginning of a new year. Our lives revolve around semesters, not 12-month calendars. The campus comes alive each year at the end of August as thousands of students return for fall classes. Excitement fills the air as freshman students arrive for their first semester and seniors make graduation plans.
In the Department of Residential Living, we spend all summer planning for the fall. We shuffle countless pieces of paper as we attempt to meet the preferences of the more than 1,200 residents who will be living in the residence halls each fall. Our summer is filled with questions and concerns associated with fall housing and roommate assignments.
The day that the residence halls open is a frantic and exciting day. More than half of our residents will check into the residence halls on the first day, and the majority of those typically check in before three o'clock. Our streets and parking lots will be filled with every imaginable style of automobile, all of which will be loaded well beyond capacity.
Most freshman residents will arrive with a parent or two and often a sibling. Moving into the residence hall is a family affair. After the initial check-in process, it is time for the family to meet the new roommate. Everyone that has lived in a residence hall can remember the anxiety associated with the first meeting with your randomly assigned roommate.
Once the family has met the roommate and everyone feels that things will be okay, it is time to unload. Of course, the closest parking spaces are taken, and the room is up a flight of stairs. Each member of the family will be responsible for carrying at least a load or two to the room. Soon, mother will begin assisting in finding the right place to put each of the items that father is carrying in from the car. Younger siblings will tire quickly and be told to sit outside and wait. Father will begin to wonder how he fit everything into the car and how it is ever going to fit in the room. Eventually the unloading process comes to an end.
It is now time to say goodbye. The family first says goodbye to all of the other parents that they have met during the move-in process and to the staff members who have provided answers to their questions. The younger siblings will simply run to the car and try to decide when they are going to move into their new room back home. The parents will say a quick goodbye and offer some words of wisdom to their freshman. The freshman will say goodbye quickly and then start to think about the new experiences that lie ahead.
As the parents drive off they will think of countless things they should have told their freshman and items that are needed in the room. Soon the conversation will turn to the humorous events of the day. Parents will quickly realize that living on campus will be a unique and beneficial experience for their freshman.
These events occur on hundreds of campuses all over the country each year. Most everyone who has lived in a residence hall will tell you that some of their fondest college memories are associated with living on campus. I certainly encourage all students to consider living on campus, no matter where they attend school, so they too will have the positive experiences associated with living in a residence hall.
Jon Behrens is director of residential living at West Texas A&M University. He can be reached at 651-3000 or email@example.com.

- Award: Each year, one applicant will be selected by the grant committee to receive up to $10,000 to support her project. These funds are available for any non-tuition/non-stipendiary expenses (e.g. the costs for creation of digital products).
- Application Process: Applicants should submit a two-page proposal, outlining the creative vision and practical execution process of the project, plus a CV. The proposal should include (1) a description of the project and its timeline, (2) a clear statement describing the digital product and how that product will be shared with the public, including how relevant permissions will be secured, and (3) a budget for the project.

Study Questions Fish Oil Brain Claims
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 25 (HealthDay News) -- If you eat a lot of fish or take fish oil supplements hoping to boost your brain health, a new study has disappointing findings for you.
The study, published online Sept. 25 in the journal Neurology, found no difference in memory and thinking test scores based on levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood.
"We looked at the association of blood biomarkers of [omega-3 fatty acids] and measure of cognitive [thinking] function and found no statistically significant association between baseline levels or over time," said the study's lead author, Eric Ammann, a doctoral candidate in the department of epidemiology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.
However, this study's findings run counter to other research that has suggested that omega-3 fatty acids can help protect the aging brain. A study published in the February 2012 issue of Neurology suggested that middle-aged and elderly people who regularly ate foods rich in omega-3s scored better on tests of visual memory, attention and abstract thinking compared to those who consumed fewer omega-3 foods. The study also found that people who consumed less omega-3s tended to have smaller brain volume overall than those who ate more omega-3 foods.
There are plausible biological mechanisms for why omega-3s might improve brain health, according to background information in the current study. One particular omega-3, called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is a structural component of brain tissue, the study authors noted. DHA also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may slow deterioration in the brain.
Ammann's hypothesis going into the study was that omega-3 fatty acids would have a protective effect on thinking and memory in women 65 and older.
Data for the study came from the U.S. Women's Health Initiative study. The researchers included information from more than 2,000 women between 65 and 80 years old who had normal thinking and memory at the start of the study.
The women took tests on thinking and memory each year for an average of six years. Blood levels of omega-3s were taken at the start of the study.

Did they also "fix" the freeze timer yet ? So hard to race with the keyboard, really need to replace the broken stick, but i can't get those B* races finished.
Did you run it as admin, because that happens for me if i forget that on W7.
Did they also "fix" the freeze timer yet ? So hard to race with the keyboard, really need to replace the broken stick, but i can't get those B* races finished.
tested both admin right , admin account and standard account all the same ,,, i do get 2 admin-lvl requests at every start of game though
Thank for new trainer..hehe..
In C4 championship, "Freeze Timers" worked. Sometimes the time at the end said "--.--.--" as I didn't either drive the race, but this was honored with the first place. In B4 the time at the end (after freezing the timer) sometimes also says "--.--.--", but in B4 I'm automatically the 8th place.
Also I encountered that the timer seems to continue counting after freezing it. For example: When I freeze the time at 6 seconds and wait a few moments, then unfreeze the timer again, it directly jumps to, for example, 12 seconds! So it is also not possible to unfreeze the time before finishing the race to avoid "--.--.--", because in this case the time jumps up to the real driven time.

Federal and state income taxes each will be due a little later than normal this year, but not on the same days.
Back in 2005, the District of Columbia chose to make Emancipation Day a district holiday, which meant it became a day off for federal workers (including those in the Internal Revenue Service) in Washington D.C.
This year, April 15 (a Friday), which is the normal filing due date for both state and federal taxes, is also the date of the celebration of Emancipation Day. If the IRS is closed in Washington D.C., federal taxes are not due on that date.
As a result, federal income taxes will not be due until Monday, April 18.
But, in Massachusetts, Monday, April 18, is Patriot's Day, a state holiday, so state income taxes will not be due until April 19.
The business of not filing taxes on April 15 is not that unusual. Last year, due to extensive flooding, taxpayers from the Cape west to Worcester County had until May 11 to file state and federal taxes. In 2007, taxpayers in flooded areas had until April 26 to file. And there have been many years when, due to Patriot's Day, state income taxes were not due until April 18.
So this coming tax year, pending any last minute weather events, federal income tax will be due on April 18, and state income tax on April 19.

So, I've been playing alot of Mercs 2 lately and for the most part it's been an enjoyable game. While it's not really all that different from Mercs 1, that's not such a bad thing, since the original is a favorite of mine. No, if I have any issue(s) with this game it's the amount of bizzare glitches I've run into. The full-on lockup I had last night was the most normal of the bunch. Check these out:
1. Supply drops that enter the Twilight Zone. You hear them hit the ground, but no amount of searching can let you find them.
2. Ghost Copters. This one's absolutely friggin' weird and also maddening. I needed to infiltrate VZ territory, so I called for Ewan to deliver a VZ transport chopper. Seemed normal enough until the chopper landed...and then faded away right in front of me. So, I not only had no chopper, but I was also down one supply run and the fuel it took to deliver the damn thing.
3. Ewan's always "Busy." This always seemed to happen after a death followed by the "Retry" option. No matter what I wanted Ewan to do, he was always busy. Probably ignoring me to chase some Venezuelan tail.;p
And finally the Big Daddy of them all:
4. "10 Achievements unlocked for 320 G?! The hell...?!" This one floored me. I discovered Solano's hidden bunker only to learn, naturally, I don't have the firepower to break in. Following this I died several times when I had to hustle back to the PMC (which I finally did in a hijacked VZ gunship). Anyway, long story short, when the dust cleared I was somehow up 320 points! Stranger still, the game awarded me points for things I hadn't even done yet. Like destroying a set number of things in co-op (despite not having played the co-op mode at all), finishing the game, earning a billion dollars and winning the winching challenge. Easily one of the damnest things I've ever encountered in over 20 years of gaming.
In closing I'd like to quote one Mr. Crow T. Robot: "They're all done with Venezuela, they don't me to do it!"

Gainsborough was very fond of his two daughters and painted them frequently from childhood into their late twenties. Concerned for their future, he took care to ensure that they were well educated, sending them to an exclusive boarding school in Chelsea and tutoring them in drawing and landscape painting. A few years after this portrait was made, Mary entered into a disastrous marriage with the celebrated oboeist, Johann Christian Fischer, an associate of her father. In later life she lived with her younger sister Margaret, although by then she suffered from severe mental illness.

Jones failed to score 20 points for the first time in 10 games. He had recorded nine straight 20-point games and would've tied a WVU record with one on Wednesday. He finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
The Mountaineers have now lost four of their last five games - all in Big East Conference play.
WVU was led by freshman point guard Jabarie Hinds who had 17 points in 31 minutes. He was 8-of-12 from the field.
"We're down right now, but we just have to bounce back," Hinds said. "We have to be more focused, and we have to spend more time on the court and get more shots up."
Player of the Game
|Jabarie Hinds
17 points
8-of-12 shooting
4 free throws
31 minutes
"It's hard when Truck can't get to the rim, because his scoring allows for other people to get open and hit open shots," Jones said.
Up by three, WVU gave up two threes – one to guard Eric Atkins and another to guard Jerian Grant – to allow the Fighting Irish to take a 48-45 lead with less than two minutes to play.
After a West Virginia timeout, Bryant missed an easy lay up forcing head coach Bob Huggins to throw his water bottle in disgust.
On the other end, Martin hit another three to go up by six with 51.7 seconds left.
WVU had no answer for Notre Dame forward Jack Cooley. He scored 21 points and added 12 rebounds.
Grant and Martin had 12 points apiece.
WVU outrebounded Notre Dame by two and turned the ball over just three times. But, the Mountaineers attempted just three free throws and shot just 24.1 percent from the field in the first half.
WVU and Notre Dame played continuously for the first six-and-a-half minutes, as the Mountaineers were able to jump out to a 5-2 lead on five straight points from Hinds before Cooley added his second layup of the game to make it 5-4.
The Mountaineers would not be able to take any more than a four-point lead early on, however, as they struggled to score in a game that put the Coliseum crowd to sleep.
With WVU up 12-10, Notre Dame went on a 9-0 run as the Mountaineers wouldn't score for 7:01 under Jones hit a short jumper off the glass.
With 4:15, Cooley went out with two fouls, but the Irish continued to find dominance as WVU struggled to score and defend.
After that initial 9-0 run, Notre Dame went on another 7-2 run including a final dagger 3-pointer from Martin when WVU's two seniors were caught guarding the same player in the paint.
It was the lowest-scoring first half for West Virginia since March 6, 2010, when WVU had 16 points vs. Villanova in a 68-66 overtime win.
In that first half, WVU shot just 24.1 percent while Notre Dame was 46.2 percent. WVU was out-rebounded by five, had six less second-chance points and had eight less points in the paint.
WVU found it much easier to score in the second half, and an 8-2 run in the first five minutes allowed the Mountaineers to cut the Notre Dame lead to just 32-26 forcing a timeout by Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey.
WVU would cut that lead to just four points on an acrobatic layup by Hinds to make it 38-34 with 8:51 to play when Brey called another timeout.
After the timeout, freshman point guard Gary Browne hit a layup and on the next possession Jones finished a short jumper to tie the game with more than seven minutes to play and ignite a crowd that was otherwise quiet before.
At that point, WVU had shot better than 60 percent in the second half.
The Mountaineers took a 41-40 lead, their first since it was 12-10 with 9:48 to play in the first half, on a three in the corner by Jones with 5:20 to play.
A Kilicli shot on the next possession forced Brey to call his second-to-last timeout with more than four minutes to go with WVU up 43-40.
From that point, Notre Dame found its shooting stroke and won the game.
The Mountaineers were just 2-of-16 from 3-point range. Bryant, Browne and freshman guard Aaron Brown were all 0-for-3.
There were just 9,258 fans in attendance at the Coliseum.

The transition from adolescence to adulthood is difficult under the best of circumstances. Young people with chronic diseases face particular challenges because they must adhere to medical therapy and keep medical appointments while they cope with peer pressure, hormonal surges, academic demands, and uncertainty regarding the future. This study demonstrates the profound challenges of adolescents with renal transplants. The 10-year risk of graft loss among recipients aged 14 to 16 years is the highest of any age cohort despite the robust protoplasm of this age group. We agree with the authors that transition programs that address the unique developmental needs of youth should be developed and tested.

Part-time for economic reasons
January 29, 2003
The annual average number of persons at work fewer than 35 hours for economic reasons rose by 458,000 in 2002. In the average month, there were 4.1 million persons at work part time for reasons such as slack work, poor business conditions, or only being able to find a part-time job.
Almost all of the increase occurred among workers who reported that they were working fewer than 35 hours per week due to slack work or business conditions. There was an average of 2.7 million workers in this category in 2002, compared with 2.4 million in 2001.
The average number of persons at work for 1 to 34 hours for noneconomic reasons such as school attendance or family and personal obligations was 26.7 million in 2002, compared with 27.5 million in 2001.
These data are products of the Current Population Survey. More information on persons working 1 to 34 hours per week appears in tables 19 through 23 in the annual averages section of the January 2003 issue of Employment and Earnings.
