There are a lot of inherent perks of being an internet sportswriter (if that's what you would call me):
I get to work from home.
I get to occasionally work in my underwear.
I don't have to ask the warden to use the bathroom. Oh wait, that's one of the inherent perks of not being in prison. Never mind.
Anyway, I know I'm one of the lucky few, and fortunate that I get to do what I love, from the comfort of my home, while many others are behind a desk, in an office all day, every day.
So today, I decided to give back to all of you out there. All of you who "work hard," at "real jobs," where you're forced by the man to wear "pants." I decided to give back by running a live blog starting at 12 p.m. of today's Big East Tournament quarterfinal afternoon games between Syracuse and Georgetown and Villanova and Marquette immediately following.
For those of you at work, please stop by, and refresh the page as often as you please. I'll be updating the commentary as quickly as possible, with no scripting, editing or revising. I just hope my six-year-old laptop doesn't burst into flames by 4:30 p.m.
Hope you enjoy.
(Author's note: If you're going to read this after the fact, you honestly may want to reconsider. It's ok. I won't take it personally. But because this Live Blog really was being followed by people from their desks at work, I felt the need to update things constantly with a lot of little tiny details that probably ultimately weren't needed. Either way, if you want to keep reading, by all means please do. Otherwise don't stress, I'll have plenty more on the tournament as we get closer.)
Before we get started, I was actually in the Garden for all four Big East quarterfinal games yesterday. Here are a few thoughts on what I saw from Georgetown:
– Watching them on TV, you could tell they were athletic, but seeing them in person, they're a freakishly long team. All arms and legs. Basically a group that looks like one of those gangly puppies that runs around, and hasn't filled into their bodies yet.
– Chris Wright is super-quick with the ball. Like, super, super quick. Much faster in person than he looks on TV.
– I hate to say it, but Austin Freeman seemed to be moving a step slow. I don't know if he just knew that he'd be potentially be playing four games in four days and was just conserving energy or not, but he didn't seem to be moving at the same pace as everybody else. Hate to admit it, but it's true. Even saw JTIII mouth to him (I snuck down to about 10 rows off the court), "Are you ok," to which the kid responded.
– I like how JTIII subbed his players in and out. Greg Monroe got into foul trouble early, but it was never a factor down the stretch. Even with a comfortable lead late in the game, Thompson was going offense for defense with him. That's the little stuff you might not think about that wins games.
Also, one final note. Just turned on ESPN ready for some pregame coverage, and we've got some bald guy talking with an undetectable accent talking about soccer. Could anything else get you more excited for some college hoops?? I think not.
12:00 p.m.: And we are looking live at Madison Square Garden, as an awesome montage of old school Syracuse and Georgetown highlights are dubbed to the music recordings of some C List wrapper. I'll tell you, nothing says Big East basketball like Georgetown-Syracuse and some lousy wrap. I feel like it's 1985 all over again
12:01 p.m.: Ohhhhh boy. Dave Pasch and Fran Fraschilla are joined by Doris Burke this afternoon. I like Doris, I think she's a good analyst, but can be just a teensy bit much at times. Any way I can do this live blog with the mute button on? Sorry just thinking aloud.
12:04: And we are underway. Georgetown in their road greys win the tip and turn the ball over. Syracuse in their home whites.
12:05: Wes Johnson nice move to the basket. 2-0. Love Wes' game.
12:06: Doris Burke calls this "The Most Unselfish Syracuse team I've ever seen." I'd say they might be the most unselfish team in any conference we've seen in the past 10 years. If not more.
12:07: Quick score for Chris Wright, quicker 3 for Andy Rautins. 8-4 Syracuse. Our first Leo Rautins sighting as well has just happened. Leo may be the coolest man over 50 in all of Canada not named Wayne Gretzky.
12:09: Our first commercial break, and Johnson is showing why he was Big East Player of the Year, already with eight points. Chris Wright has a couple nice moves to the basket too. 11-6 as we go to another montage dubbed over rap music that would make J.J. Redick blush.
12:12: And we're back. First shot of the Georgetown cheerleaders. And hopefully the last too.
12:14: Pretty move for twoby Greg Monroe. Seeing him yesterday, he was more impressive in person than on TV.
12:15: Annnnnnd a great pass by Monroe. 11-10. Like Monroe's game a lot. Georgetown just starting to figure out this zone.
12:16: Jumper by Freeman, he seems to look more comfortable than yesterday. 12-11.
12:17: Someone gets sent to the Georgetown bench, but I'm not sure exactly who. I got distracted by their assistant coach who looks like Steve Harvey. Who knew he was struggling that much for work.
12:19: Georgetown relentlessly crashing the boards, and Boeheim is forced to call a timeout. He looks like he's got a proctoligist visit coming up. Wait a second, he always looks like that.
12:20: TV timeout, Georgetown up 14-11. And Dave Pasch cues a teaser, saying that they'll discuss "The greatest game in the history of the Big East," when they come back from commercial. As a UConn fan who was in the building last year, please excuse me while I drink some Drano. Be right back
12:21: And there's the obligatory Jonny Flynn shot. And Hasheem Thabeet shot. And Eric Devendorf. Oh man, I need a drink. I guess it was still cool to say I was there though, but man, that one still stings. A lot.
12:22: Three for Kris Joseph. Tie game. And love his game. Easily one of my five favorite French-Canadian college basketball players this season.
12:23: Transition three for Andy Rautins. That's Syracuse's best play…..And Wright responds with about a 32 foot three….And a quick two by Scoop Jardine. I can't keep up!!!!!! 19-17 'Cuse
12:24: Monroe responds by a quick deuce, followed by a Syracuse deuce right after. JTII calls a timeout and looks like he's ready to commit a homicide. Big East basketball baby!
12:25: Burke just calls JTIII "Visibly demonstrative." I've never been more confused.
12:26: Scoop Jardine for two. 24-21 'Cuse. By the way, is there a cooler nickname in college basketball than "Scoop?" I think not.
12:27: 26-21 as we head to a commercial break with Kris Joseph challenging a Chris Wright dunk. And for the record, John Thompson is still visibly demonstrative. I think…
12:31: Fraschilla just calls Georgetown "sneaky long?" Hmm, who said something similar about a half an hour ago??? (Me, me, me)
12:33: Three-pointer for Scoop Jardine. How do I get a nickname like "Scoop?" Anyone? I'm all ears.
12:34: Johnson on the boards. 34-25 Syracuse. If Georgetown doesn't start making some three's this could get ugly.
12:35: Perfect backdoor pass from Monroe to Wright for two. I like their game. A lottt….
12:36: Corner three for Jason Clark of Georgetown. Liked his game yesterday. Actually, quite honestly, I liked everyone on Georgetown yesterday. I guess playing South Florida does that to you sometime. Either way, all of a sudden a 34-30 game.
12:38: Wright out to Clark. I'm telllllling you, these guys are good. And scary long. 34-33.
12:38: We've just learned that Rick Jackson doesn't mind being called the trash man. Feel free to insert your own joke here….
12:39: Commercial break. 36-33 with 2:47 to go. We head to commercial with "Tonight's gonna be a good night! Tonight's gonna be a good, good, night!" blasting. No. No it won't be if you keep playing that non-sense.
12:39: Wow, I just sounded like a grump in that last little rant. I guess getting home from the Garden at 3 a.m. and getting back up at 7 will do that to a guy. And yes, I'm afraid of what I'll be like when I actually have children. Terrified actually.
12:43: Awesome length of the court pass, Jackson to Jardine. 38-35. 1:30 left.
12:45: Joseph on a putback, and then steals a pass and gets fouled. 40-37 'Cuse. 22 seconds left. Time for one more good shot.
12:46: Johnson for three at the buzzzzzzzzer…… No good. 40-37 at the half.
12:47: A few quick thoughts before I take a quick break: Jardine is playing really well, as is Joseph. Wes Johnson has been quiet since scoring eight early. For Georgetown, they simply need to make three's. They do that it's going to be close. If they don't…well we'll see JTIII being even more "visibly demonstrative," than he is right.
12:48: And with halftime upon us, let me leave you with one of my favorite halftime performances EVER (Click, you will enjoy).
1:03: And we are back! Some of the halftime highlights included my flipping channels and seeing my first "Hot Tub Time Machine" commercial of the day, as well as my dog barking in his sleep, waking himself up with a bark, licking himself, then falling back asleep. I'm not quite sure what to make of these two instances happening almost simultaneously.
1:04: Wow, didn't realize that Syracuse shot 62 PERCENT (!!!) in the first half. If they limit the tunrovers, the should be able to pull away by the 10 minute mark.
1:04: Three by Wes Johnson for the first points of the half.
1:06: Johnson with a beautiful up and under move. 17 now for him. Even better pass from Rautins. I just don't know how Rautins isn't an NBA player at this point.
1:07: And juuuuuuuuuust when Syracuse was pulling away, big three for Chris Wright. 45-42.
1:08: Another great pass from Monroe for an easy deuce. I'm drafting him ahead of DeMarcus Cousins and Derrick Favors if I need a big man in this draft.
1:08: BIG three from Andy Rautins. You just….cannot….leave…that…guy…OPEN!
1:10: Ah, nothing like shoveling cold pizza and hot coffee down your throat on a quick commercial break. If Wheaties is the breakfast of champions, I think this is the lunch of champions. (I know what you're thinking, shut up AT and focus on basketball… Good point).
1:12: Georgetown plays up on the perimeter against Rautins and he blows by his defender and finishes with a left handed layup. To quote some announcer, who said this at some point: "Is there anything this guy CAN'T do!" First television timeout. 50-44 Syracuse.
1:14: Wow, the new "Pacific Shrimp," Tacos at Taco Bell are looking pretty good. What can I say. I'm a fatass.
1:16: Score update over on ESPN2 for those interested: Kansas up just 28-26 very late in the first half.
1:17: Unbelievable cross-court pass through traffic from Rautins to the Garbage Man. I can't stop gushing about Rautins. I just can't. Is this how Dick Vitale feels every time he goes to Cameron Indoor?
1:18: Layup for Jardine. Syracuse 54-46. Syracuse just making more plays than Georgetown right now.
1:19: Three for guess who? Fran Fraschilla just said what I believe too: "I don't care if Wes Johnson is the Big East Player of the Year. But nobody is more valuable to their team than Andy Rautins." Is it getting warm in here, or is it just me??
1:20: Second Leo Rautins cameo of the game. I only wish I could hit the bars in NYC with him later tonight. Just a cool, cool, cool guy (Yes, this crush on the whole family is getting uncomfortable).
1:21: No score update in awhile. 57-51 Orange right now. Georgetown won't go away.
1:22: Freeman with a perfect pass to Wright for an easy layup. Are there two better passing team's in college basketball? I can't think of one. 11:59 left, 59-54, and once again, Georgetown just not willing to die. They're starting to look like the team that everyone fell in love with midseason.
1:25: For those interested, Virginia up on Boston College in the ACC Tournament. Why would you be interested? I have no idea.
1:26: Wright to Clark for 3!!!!! Seven straight points for the Hoyas, and all of a sudden, it's a one point game.
1:28: Fast break layup for Georgetown, and they take the lead! I'd really like to tell you how this all happened, but I really have no idea. Syracuse just turning the ball over way, way too much.
1:29: Shot of John Thompson II in the crowd. He looks like he just found a pile of dog crap in his living room. Come on coach, smile! Be proud of your son and your school!
1:30: Georgetown extending it's lead. 62-59. Chris Wright has been fantastic.
1:30: And Wes Johnson just picked up his third foul. This is not good if you're a 'Cuse fan.
1:31: 13-0 for Georgetown in the last 3:20. Well that explains some things…
1:31: Nice putback for Wes Johnson. Can you have a quiet 19 points? If so, he's doing it right now.
1:34: "Wright in transition. He's made every right decision today." Georgetown by seven as we head to a commercial break 68-61. By the way, was it me that said that was gushing about Chris Wright yesterday? Because I think I was. Kid is awesome.
1:35: By the way, Dave Pasch just discussed Georgetown's schedule this year: Two games against Syracuse. Two against Villanova. At West Virginia. At Pittsburgh. At Louisville. Damn. I'm surprised the '98 Bulls didn't get snuck on there somewhere.
1:37: Freeman with a corner jumper. Absolutely different player than the one I saw yesterday in the Big East Tournament. Georgetown by nine.
1:39: Good put back by Kris Joseph. And man did they need it. 70-63.
1:40: Another bucket by Chris Wright that Doris Burke calls a "toughness basket." Happen to agree with her. 72-65 after two Joseph free throws.
1:41: Rautins fouls Hollis Thompson. We're getting into a danger zone for the Orange.
1:42: 'Cuse just tried to press Georgetown and they picked apart, like a bad…
1:42: Ohh no. Ohh no. Arinze Onuakku down and he is not getting up.
1:43: Dr's are checking out Onuaku's right knee. Too early to say the severity. You can hear a pin drop in the Garden. Wow.
1:45: Onuaku helped to the Syracuse bench. Doesn't look like he can put much weight on it. I'm sorry to those reading, but this does not look good. At all.
1:47: Wes Johnson with a put back. Things are definitely getting chippy. And a foul on Syracuse the other way. 'Cuse fans not happy with the foul call. 73-68 Georgetown.
1:48: Big bucket by Joseph. Big bucket. 73-70.
1:49: Scoop to the hoop! Going to the line with two shots. 74-72 with just about four minutes to go. Hoyas have missed four of their last five foul shots.
1:50: Georgetown breaks the press…Greg Monroe to the hoop, gets fouled… And One!!! 76-72 with Monroe at the line after a commercial break (I know I'm not doing a great job describing this game, but it's very exciting. I'm so nervous, I'm working on my third undershirt right now. I wish I was kidding.)
1:52: Time for the obligatory ACC update. Virginia is about to hold on against Boston College. Yes, I know, no one cares.
1:52: Alright Monroe to the line. You can feel the tension through the television with a most pro-Syracuse crowd.
1:54: Fifth turnover by Rautins. Update on Onuaku: Right knee injury. Previous knee injury was to the left. He probably isn't going to return.
1:55: Chris Wright into the lane, tipped in by Austin Freeman. No other way to put it, Georgetown is just making more winning plays right now. Syracuse playing with the same urgency as a Burger King drive thru worker.
1:56: Franny F brings up a good point: "You just can't beat this Syracuse zone by shooting three's." Georgetown proving that today.
1:57: Scoop Jardine to the line. Two shots.
1:57: Scoop makes both, 79-74 Georgetown.
1:58: Another deuce by Freeman. Syracuse just doesn't have an inside prescense without Onuaku.
1:58: Johnson gets a putback. Timeout Syracuse. Jim Boeheim has the same face right now that my dog does when he eats a week old sandwich out of the garbage. Which is to say not good.
1:59: Dumb drive by Freeman, cleaned up by Monroe. Makes the layup….up and gets fouled. 1:57 left. 83-77
1:59: Miss by Kris Joseph, rebound by Wright and Syracuse foul. Gotta say, a little disappointing performance down the stretch from Rautins and Wes Johnson. Joseph is the only one playing with any urgency.
2:00: One free throw 85-76
2:01: Turnover cuts the lead to 85-78. Wright into the lane loses it. Rautins, to Johnson to Kris Joseph for three……. FOUR POINT GAME!!!!! 51 seconds left.
2:02: Whew, when this game is done I'm going to need a Gatorade. I'm losing my electrolytes in a hurry. Back to basketball….
2:03: Monroe fouled will go to the line 85-81 with 46 seconds left. Important note, both Kris Joseph and Rick Jackson have four fouls. Monroe misses the front end.
2:04: Annnnnnd we have a lost contact on the floor. Tick, tick, tick…
2:05: Ok, chris Wright can see again… But unfortunately he iced his teammate as Monroe missed the second..
2:05: Rebound to Scoop, drives the length of the court… To the basket… Miss!
Rebounded Monroe. To the foul line.
2:06: Makes the first one. 86-81. And he makes the second one.
2:06: Scoop to the rim again… Misses. rebounded by Monroe….And Syracuse… They're not fouling! They're not fouling! Finally, Johnson fouls, and fouls out. 15 seconds left 87-81 Georgetown.
2:07: 88-82, this one is all but over for Syracuse.
2:08: Scoop for three… Got it! 88-84. Austin Freeman gets fouled.
2:08: And it's official. 91-84 is your final. Georgetown beats Syracuse for the first time all year.
2:09: Beth Mullins interviewing JTIII with a leather jacket that looks like she got from the tacky Gwen Stefani collection. Honestly, Stevie Wonder thinks her jacket is hideous.
2:10: And an interview with Chris Wright. The kid can play, but I can't lie, his voice sounds the same as my 11-year-old niece. Of course, when he's making millions in a few years and I'm here, I think he'll get the last laugh. Even if it is a girly one.
2:11: Let's take a quick break. Be back for Villanova and Marquette in 10 minutes….
2:39: And we are BACK! Sorry for the delay, some technical difficulties held things up. But we enter with Villanova clinging to a 2-0 lead just one minute in….
2:41: Our friends Fran, Dave and Doris are back calling game two. And I've got to say that as much as I love Doris, HD is just not her thing… To put it nicely. I'm sure she's got a great personality though
2:43: Moutaphou Yarou (Say that 10 times fast… Or once) with a SICK block leads to an easy transition basket. 4-2 'Nova.
2:43: Deeeep three by Lazar Hayward. Or as the St. John's fans liked to call him yesterday, Laser.
2:43: Deep two for Antonio Pena. 9-5 'Nova. Nice pace to this game. Kind of like UConn-St. Johns the other day. Only the exact opposite.
2:44: Deeeep three for David Cubillian. Both teams brough their "A," games today. At least through four minutes anyway.
2:45: Three for Corey Stokes. 12-8 'Nova. Somewhere Zeffy Penn is smiling.
2:46: And we've got our first commercial break. 12-10 'Nova. And I need to catch my breath.
2:49: *** Arinze Onuaku update: All they know is that it's a strain, and an MRI will be done tomorrow Beth Mullins reports. And her jacket is still hideous.
2:51: Big three for Darius Johnson-Odom, easily one of my three favorite players with a hyphenated last name in college basketball. Marquette with their first lead.
2:51: And another three for the man two last names. 16-12 Marquette. Jay Wright furiously calls a timeout.
2:53: And a collision between David Cubillian and Taylor King inadvertantly knocks over referee John Cahill. Maybe it knocked some sense into the old man (And for those of you who don't know, yes I'm bitter. Cahill blew a call that cost UConn against Syracuse. And yes, my psychologist says that it's time to move on. But I just can't)
2:56: Pete Thammel of New York Times reporting that Onuaku's knee tests come back negative. His mom says he'll back for the tournament. Hopefully as our old pal Fran just said, "Momma knows best."
2:57: Corey Stokes just hit a three from about 72 feet away. Marquette still up by one.
2:58: Another three for Johnson-Odom, giving him 11 on the game. This Marquette team is really sneaky good.
3:00: Johnson-Odom misses a three for the first time all game. Apparently Buzz Williams should have left him plugged in just a few minutes longer. (In other words, the guy is a machine. And yes, that was a bad joke. Let's just move on….)
3:01: Villanova guard Malik Waayans throws the ball to the pretty woman in orange in the third row of the stands. She unfortunately, does not play for Villanova
3:02: By the way, not exactly sure when I stopped using periods at the end of most of my sentences. My guess is that it was probably around halftime of the Syracuse-Georgetown game.
3:03: THis is turning into a layup line for Villanova. But unfortunately, it looks like the layup line of a women's game since they keep missing. 23-17 as we go to the under eight minute timeout.
3:05: Scoreboard update. Virginia won. Kansas held on against Texas Tech. And Michigan up 28-13 on Iowa on ESPN2. The Hawkeyes are in the process of setting the game of basketball at least 15 years with this performance.
3:07: Laser… I mean Lazar Hayward with a put back followed by a turnover for Villanova. Someone should probably tell 'Nova that their season is two losses from being over.
3:10: Tough scoop shot for Scottie Reynolds. Glad he woke up from his nap. I was worried we might see him walking onto the court with his blankie in a minute.
3:11: Buzz Williams is sweating like he just ran a 5k. Marquette 26-23.
3:13: Fran Fraschilla just said that Williams is one of the "true humanitarians of the game." What exactly does that mean? Is he going to deliver supplies to third world countries after the game?
3:14: Under four minute timeout, and the scoring is at a stand-still. More bricklaying than a construction site right now. 26-23 Marquette still up.
3:16: Nice banker by Jimmy Butler from Marquette, followed by a Corey Stokes three. Looks like the timeout did everyone some good. 28-26 Marquette
3:17: Buzz Williams, the Humitarian yelling and screaming about the Stokes three and a following Corey Fisher layup. Looks like he's about to pop a blood vessel in his head. And I'm pretty sure Lazar Hayward just had to wipe some of Williams spit out of his eye. 28 up.
3:21: Some guy with a hideous fade hits a jumper for Marquette. May have been Kid Kross, not really sure.
3:22: David Cubillian rushes an undeeded three with six seconds left, instead Villanova gets the ball back…. And Corey Fisher is blocked at the buzzer. Villanova finishes on a 13-4 run. 30-30 at halftime.
3:23: Just saw that I wrote an "undeeded," three. Not sure what that is. Think I meant uneeded. I think. Definitely need a halftime break. But before I do, I've got to say I liked the late run by Villanova. If Scottie Reynolds has a typical Scottie Reynolds second half, the Wildcats should be fine. See you all in 10 minutes.
And also, for those of you who missed in the first game: Here's one of my favorite halftime speeches ever. Enjoy.
3:39: And we are back, as they show the replay of Buzz Williams ripping into his players. It's Big East basketball and it's in the air….Nova starting with the ball…
3:41: Beth Mullins apparently caught up with Williams out of halftime. Despite sweating through his first shirt, he politefully declined her offer of the hideous leather jacket she's wearing. Ok, maybe I just made that up. What can I say, I'm starting to get tired.
3:42: (Basketball Aaron…Focus on basketball). First points of the half come on a nice Reynolds pass to Fisher at the top of key. After a Marquette miss, Corey Stokes hits a three, causing Williams to call a timeout, as he looks like he's passing a kidney stone.
3:43: Pasch just compares Stokes and Fisher to Corey Haim and Feldman. Wonder if Pasch knows that Haim died yesterday. Too soon Mr. Pasch. Too soon.
3:47: Biiiiig corner three for Cubillian as the shot clock expires. 36-33 Villanova.
3:49: Back and forth action. Both teams starting to get into their grooves. 38-38. Corey Stokes is a really, really nice player.
3:50: My favorite Mouphtaou with a lay in. Don't know if any of you knew this, but my mom wanted to name me Mouphtaou, but my dad objected at the last second.
3:51: Ok, I like Papa John's as much as the next guy. But if I see this commercial where the guy hits the halfcourt shot I'm going to start to get mad. Like Randy Johnson on his first day in New York mad (If you don't remember what I'm talking about look it up)
3:53: So our announcing team is talking about their favorite "30 for 30" documentaries, and Dave Pasch preferred the one the USFL, while Fran was partial to the Baltimore Colts marching band. I feel like these are things you should know. Oh, and a Scottie Reynolds three makes it 45-40.
3:55: Wow, never heard the story on how Jay Wright went all the way to Benin to recruit Mouphtaou and meet his family. Also, he's apparently one of 13 children. Again, just sharing.
3:58: Corey Stokes hits his fifth three. No doubt that right now he's the player of this game. Big three by Maurice Aker in response. 48-44 with 12:30 to go.
4:00: And there's our boy Darius Hayward-Bey…. I mean Johnson-Odom. Nice up and under move, cuts the Villanova lead to 50-46
4:00: And just like against Cincinnati and West Virginia, Villanova is letting Marquette hang around. 50-48. Shouldn't this team know better by now?
4:01: Missed layup by Fisher, cleaned up Pena. Fouled and one. Exactly what Villanova needed 52-48 with a TV timeout.
4:02: Alright, I would make my second "Hot Tub Time Machine," joke of the day, but really, why even bother. Will it be the least grossing film of all time?
4:03: Does anyone find the irony in the Sportscenter commercial where Jim Calhoun gives a pep talk, and Hannah Storm and Josh Weiner blow off what he says? I don't think it's good that they had the same body language that Jerome Dyson and Stanley Robinson did the last four games of the season. And yes I'm bitter.
4:05: The crew is talking about the Arinze Onuaku injury, and Doris brings up a good point "There aren't enough good two seeds for Syracuse to lose their No. 1 seed." I agree.
4:07: By the way, not to change the subject again, but just saw Cole Aldrich's final line in the Kansas game: 13 points, 18 rebounds and three blocks. That guy is gonna be productive in the NBA for a long, long time.
4:08: 52-49 Villanova by the way
4:09: Two free throws from Johnson-Odom. 52-51. Somewhere Al Davis is grabbing his checkbook.
4:09: Oo, oo…. Possible game changing play, Corey Fisher turns over the ball, and as Jimmy Butler is going in for a layup, Reggie Redding is called for an intentional foul at midcourt. Again, could be game changing. Butler makes one of two. 52-52
4:11: Big jumper by Johnson-Odom as the shot clock runs down. 54-52.
4:12: Fisher to Pena for an easy layup followed by a Cubillian three. Jay Wright looks like his puppy just got run over by a car. 57-54 as we go to the under eight minute timeout.
4:15: Fran just says that Villanova doesn't have "ball-stoppers." I mean, I know what he's saying, but damn. Doesn't that sound like something you'd buy at a…. You know what. Nevermind. Corey Fisher going to the line down 57-54.
4:17: Fisher makes both. Villanova down by one with 7:30 to go.
4:18: Reynolds misses a short jumper. Just does not seem like his game. Still only eight points and three in the second half. Hate to be picky, but just saying.
4:19: BEATUIFUL, beautiful ball movement by Marquette leads to an open three for Johnson-Odom. He's got 21 points, and he's got Fran Fraschilla talking about "ball-stoppers" again. Ughhh.
4:20: Uh oh, easy bucket for Lazar (Laser) Hayward. Marquette by six. Villanova's letthing this one get away….
4:21: A potential steal for Lazar Hayward goes for his fourth foul instead. Could be a game changing play. By the way, anyone notice that Hayward looks an awfull lot like an undersized Kenyon Martin? What I'm just saying. Fisher makes one of two, 62-57 Marquette.
4:23: And… ANOTHER three from Johnson-Odom. The guy is unconcious. No seriously, someone check his pulse. Marquette up 65-57. Villanova is absolutely falling apart.
4:25: Well, well. Quick two by Reynolds, followed by a steal by Fisher. These guys are far from life support, but this is still the first signs of life we've seen in some time. 65-61.
4:26: Wowwwww. Questionable traveling call on Marquette. Villanova gets the ball back, and now Pena's going to the line after a foul. Quiet night for Antonio Pena by the way.
4:27: Good time to change that for Pena. He swishes both. And all of a sudden it's a 65- 63 game.
4:28: As Maurice Acker is falling down, Williams gets a quick timeout. We're under four minutes, so the next whistle will be the last TV timeout as well. Hayward has four fouls. Villanova is fine in the foul department. All caught up? Good.
4:29: Steal by Fisher. Tie game!
4:29: And right back the other way Marquette goes down makes a shot and gets fouled! 67-65 with just over three minutes to go.
4:32: Just two Power Bars and had an IV bag put into my arm. I feel refreshed. Let's get back to the action….
4:33: Butler makes the foul shot, and Corey Fisher responds with a banker. If Fisher hadn't brought his "A" game, this one might be outta hand right now. Fisher and Stokes will be the MVP's of this game if Villanova can pull out the victory.
4:34: Wow, nice pull-up by Jim Butler. Three point lead for Marquette.
4:35: And Stokes responds with his sixth three!!! Tie game.
4:35: Just like yesterday, Hayward with a huge, huge three. Marquette by three.
4:36: Missed layup by Villanova, followed by Marquette briing the clock under one minute. Butler, for a pull-up… No. And loose ball… Corey Fisher called for a foul!! David Cubillian going to the foul line… Tough, tough call…
4:37: Cubillian makes the first…. And makes the second… 75-70
4:38: Quick layup by Antonio Pena, cuts the lead to 75-72 with 33 seconds left. All I can say is that if Dick Vitale was calling this game, my speakers would have blown a long time ago. Great, great game.
4:39: Villanova fouls "Laser," Hayward. 1 and 1
4:40: Hayward makes the first. 76-72….
4:40: And the second…. 77-72
4:40: Oh my. Huge play. Huge play. Maurice Acker called for a foul, his fifth. Corey Fisher makes the basket, down to a 77-74 lead, with chance to cut it to two.
4:41: And he misses! Cubillian fouled 18.4 left. Pretty much can ice the game if he makes both.
4:42: Cubillian misses the first and makes the second.
4:43: Oh boy. Villanova takes way to long to get into thier offense. Antonio Pena makes a bucket, but they're still down two with only 4.5 seconds left. It is not looking good.
4:44: Foul on Hayward. 3.2 seconds left. By the way, who knew that Lazar Hayward was the second leading scorer in Marquette history. I'll tell you one guy who definitely didn't. This one.
4:45: Big role for Hayward 79-76. And another bounce! 80-76
4:46: At the buzzer Fisher misses ball-game. Just a great, great game. Doesn't seem like these two teams always play them?
4:47: Wow. I've never seen Lazar Hayward smile. Kinda like seeing your dad cry for the first time. Just very weird.
Either way great effort by Marquette and great effort by Georgetown, who'll be playing tomorrow night.
I leave you with this one question: Is what we saw today in the Big East Tournament a preview of what we'll see all NCAA Tournament, with higher seeds falling like flies to upstarts?
Think about it. Either way, I'm out. It's been fun, and hope you enjoyed too. Feel free to comment below or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you liked it, hated or anything in between. And for all my thoughts on everything sports, be sure to follow me on Twitter.com@Aaron_Torres

Designing & Building Your New Home - From Start to Finish
Conceptual Design (Defining Your Vision)
Get started designing your new home.
Step One: The Interview
We begin our journey together by asking you to describe what you want. Give us examples of the look and feel that is important to you by showing us your collection of pictures, magazine clippings, web sites, drawings, sketches, etc. This allows us to better understand the building style and finish level that is important to you. After understanding your vision, we review your budget and expectations.
Step Two: The Land Whisperer
We believe a home should be of the land and not just on the land. Therefore it is important for us to visit your property to discover why you fell in love with it. We look for the best opportunity for views as well as the best approach to your home. We also look for any challenges that might be present that impact your budget such as a steep grade, rock where a basement needs to be dug, problematic soil conditions that could impact the placement of a septic system and/or any site conditions that may present challenges.
Step Three: Conceptual Design
After listening carefully to your ideas and understanding the property, we begin the process of hand drawing your home. The "Conceptual Design" includes the floor plans, basement (if requested) and all four elevations (sides) of your home. This process is interactive and includes several iterations as we share our work with you and go back and forth refining the design. This process may take as little as a few days or as long as a few months.
Step Four: Budget Confirmation
Once we have agreement on the Conceptual Drawings and knowledge of your property, we revisit the budget to make sure we are in alignment with your expectations. Now that we know your property and have a design and budget established, it is time to discuss how the project will be funded. If you plan to finance any portion of the project, we suggest you meet with your investment counselor or lender to make arrangements for financing. If you do not have a preferred lender or financial counselor, we are happy to make arrangements for you to speak with one of our preferred lenders.
Preliminary & Final Design (Refining & Documenting Your Vision)
Preliminary CAD (Computer Aided Design) Drawings
Preliminary CAD Drawings are produced for you in greater detail than the Conceptual Drawings. It is during this phase of the project that we validate the finish level of your home, making sure we clearly understand those finish selections that greatly impact the overall investment. This includes your floor and wall finish selections as well as the lighting, roof finish, appliances, and kitchen cabinets, just to name a few. We once again go back and forth, reviewing our progress and making any changes you may want until we have documented and produced a CAD Drawing that clearly defines what you want. Note that it is much easier to make changes on paper than it is once we start construction, so let's think this through together until we get it just right before we begin building your new home. Upon completion of the Preliminary CAD Drawings and a clearly documented finish schedule, we again validate our budget to include any changes you have requested to produce your final budget.
Final Construction Documents
At this point, we have made all the changes and modifications, and we are ready to go to final Construction Documentation. These include even greater detail than the Preliminary or Conceptual Drawings and include window and door schedules, section views, roof design, and wall and structural framing specifications.
We are now ready to pull permits and begin construction...

First Dynasty
By the time that Den came to the throne, the First Dynasty was well secured and the prosperity of the country was advancing with great rapidity. The quality of decorative and utilitarian objects as much as architecture, was now very fine, anticipating the highest standards achieved, for example, during the height of the Old Kingdom. It was also a time of innovation when many of the elements which were to become familiar parts of the rituals, titles and ceremonies associated with the kingship were first introduced.In later times Den had a reputation as a magician, who introduced some of the spells later assumed into the Book of the Dead, and also as a physician; Manetho asserted that medical treatises said to have been written by the king, were extant in his day. Den may have been a child when he succeeded; certainly he appears to have reigned for a long time and to have celebrated his jubilee. He was served by two notable ministers, Hemaka, whose probable tomb at Saqqara produced a great mass of finely made artifacts, and Ankh-ka. Den was entombed at Abydos and even this aspect of his history was innovative, for his tomb possessed a granite floor, the first evidence of the use of stone in Egyptian architecture.

Liverpool made it to the Europa League group stage by virtue of a heart-attack-inducing 2-1 aggregate scoreline against Scottish side Hearts.
Now, in the following months, Liverpool will face off against Swiss side BSC Young Boys, free-spending Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala and Serie A mainstays Udinese.
Liverpool have never played any of these sides in a competitive match, so it's a little bit of uncharted territory for Brendan Rodgers and his Liverpool squad.
The Reds will kick off their Europa League group stage journey against Young Boys on Thursday in Switzerland, so let's take a look at the potential lineup Brendan Rodgers could throw out against their Swiss opposition.

My genealogy application, Evidentia, uses a LOT of stages. Those stages are REUSED a LOT of times. In order to reuse the stages in the most efficient way possible (memory and CPU wise), I implemented the good ole Singleton design pattern.
Now this isn't glamorous, but then "From the Trenches" is about the day to day stuff in JavaFX, so I wanted to share how I chose to implement the pattern at the controller level.
So what were my "requirements"?
- Needed to reuse the same stages MANY times but with different data initializing the various fields.
- Needed to reuse the same stages from DIFFERENT parent windows.
- If the stage had dynamic controls (controls that could appear/disappear depending on how the user utilized it), the stage had to reinitialize itself to a known state, either after use or before reuse.
Pretty typical Java stuff. Here is the boiler plate for almost ALL my controllers:
public class LicenseInstallerController implements Initializable { // define various @FXML fields to be initialized private static Stage myStage = null; private static LicenseInstallerController instance = null; public static synchronized void show(MyDataObject myData) throws IOException { if (myStage == null) { // things that only need to be done once // notice the reference to the Stage "myStage" is saved in a static variable URL location = LicenseInstallerController.class .getResource("/org/ed4becky/evidentia/view/license/LicenseInstaller.fxml"); FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(); loader.setLocation(location); Scene scene = new Scene((Pane) loader.load(location.openStream())); // by now, I can count on the initiialize() method having been called // and a reference to this controller being storedd in "instance" variable myStage = new Stage(); myStage.setScene(scene); myStage.setTitle("Evidentia License Installer"); myStage.initModality(Modality.NONE); myStage.getIcons().add(ImageCache.getInstance().get("Evidentia48x48.png")); // by setting an owner (this case my MASTER" stage), two things happen // 1) shutdown of app closes window, 2) toFront() works as expected myStage.initOwner(EvidentiaController.myStage.getScene().getWindow()); } // HERE is where I put code to return the state of the stage // and its controls to a known state. // if you don't clear out text fields, selection indices, etc... // there will be garbage left from the last time show() was called... ... // anything specific to THIS call to show, like initializing text fields with data // from "myData" is done here, just before myStage.show() is called ... myStage.show(); myStage.toFront(); } @Override public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) { instance = this; // one time initializations to controls happen here // remember this is called during the loader.load(), // so its only called the FIRST time } public static LicenseInstallerController getInstance() { // yeah I know, NULL check and synchronize are missing... // the getInstance() method is seldom used - usually only for // message passing between stages return instance; } }
A couple of my own comments:
- Yes I know, I haven't protected the instantiation of the instance variable – but in my app I generally know there won't be multiple threads creating the controller. (I should still go back and clean that up!)
- I ran into an issue where a stage that had lost focus (not on top, was blurred out) still had popup tool tips displaying and forcing the background window to the top. This was resolved by a call to initOwner(), I assume setting a proper window hierarchy.
- getInstance() is usually only used for message passing between parent/child windows
- Why make myStage static? Sometimes I find it useful to add a method that allows parent/child windows to have direct access to certain controls (like status message labels, or progress bars). Other times I need access to the stage in a stop() method.
There are of course, multiple ways to accomplish the stated goals. This is just my (current) way.
Comments welcome…

A young, skinny twink who loves to suck bareback cock and take it in the ass - what could be better than that? This flick gets straight into the action, with blond twink Sasa going down on his muscular and more dominant boyfriend Vlada. Vlada lies back as Saha gets going with his thick cocksucking lips, working Vlada's dick with a combination of his mouth and his hands. Then Sasa bends over, peeling his own ass open and begging his man to give it to him rough from the back - of course, when faced with an eager butt slut, Vlada goes wild! He pumps away at Sasa's butt and cums right in it, filling him to overflowing with sperm.

Drug use among top issues for Legislature
Serious attention to this state's elementary and secondary education system, and the twin problems of drug abuse and the crowded prison system that is a result of that abuse, should be some of the major items confronting the new 2013 West Virginia Legislature that officially convenes in Charleston this week.
But Delegate Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, who now leads a Republican minority of 46 members in the 100-member House of Delegates, has already made it clear his party will give a lot of attention to a proposal that would require voters to show photo identification at the polls before being allowed to cast a ballot.
And a $750,000 efficiency audit of West Virginia's elementary and secondary public schools, conducted at the request of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, has several suggestions that legislators are expected to consider at this 60-day session. The audit concluded that the state Department of Education's administration was "top heavy" and listed several ways that the system can be improved.
Delegate David Perry, D-Fayette, is a veteran educator and one of the members of a special study group named by House Speaker Richard Thompson, D-Wayne, to analyze the audit. He said last week that the group will even look at the concept of "virtual classrooms," where students would watch instruction on a TV monitor and work online to get the training they need for particular classes.
Tomblin has asked most state agencies including the Department of Education to submit budget requests for the new state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, that provide for a 7.5 percent reduction in spending. Certainly last week's news that former State Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple, fired late last year, is filing suit to try and get her old job back may stall consideration of major changes in that agency.
Before anyone can file a lawsuit against a state agency, that person must give 30 days' notice so the actual legal action probably won't be filed until sometime in February-probably close to the date the Legislature begins its regular 60-day session.
The 2013 legislative session actually begins at noon Wednesday but only briefly before recessing until Wednesday, Feb. 13 to begin the actual 60-day session that ends at midnight on Saturday, April 13. This allows the governor to be inaugurated and then prepare for his annual State of the State speech to a joint session of the House and Senate the evening of Feb. 13.
Tomblin will be inaugurated for his second term-this one for a full four years-at 1 p.m. on Jan. 14 on the Capitol steps facing the Kanawha River, and that event is open to the public along with a short reception immediately after that ceremony in the state's Culture Center. The big party that night-moved for the first time from the Charleston Civic Center to the Clay Center-is limited to ticket holders and special guests.
The switch will reduce the number of people attending the event. Former Gov. Joe Manchin, now a member of the United States Senate, drew nearly 6,000 people to his first inaugural party. The entire Clay Center has been approved by the Charleston Fire Marshal's office for slightly more than 2,000. Tomblin will send out 1,500 invitations and provide 500 tickets that will be available to the general public.
- ? ?
The "biggest challenge" to West Virginia's economy in 2013 will be this state's shrinking labor force, according to Secretary Keith Burdette of the Department of Commerce. This state's unemployment rate may have remained below the national average over the last few years, but there are still fewer jobs two months ago than there were in November 2011.
His agency reported last week that there were about 14,000 fewer people employed in the state two months ago than there were in November 2011, according to figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This drop of 1.8 percent is the largest percentage decrease in employment in the nation, according to a report released just before Christmas.
Ironically, West Virginia's unemployment rate actually decreased during the same 12 months from 7.8 percent to 7.3 percent, which seems to suggest there is no problem. But this rate only counts people actively looking for work and doesn't consider the people who have simply given up on trying to find a job.
Burdette points to three factors that affect these statistics. He notes that West Virginia has an older workforce, many rural areas that have few if any new employment opportunities and most importantly, applicants for jobs that too often fail mandatory drug tests.

Since both U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, two of the state's most powerful politicians, have both earned an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association, it may have surprised some to hear them both say recently they are now open to banning or tightening restrictions on assault weapons and high-capacity gun clips.
Tomblin said he has a history of "enforcing our laws that give us the freedom to protect ourselves and to bear arms" but doesn't believe that will prevent putting reasonable restrictions on assault weapons and magazines capable of carrying hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Manchin said the country needs to find balance between recognizing safe use of traditional firearms while restricting high-power weapons designed primarily for military use.

Getting It On with Homeopathy
I have more thoughts on the homeopathy matter than fit in follow-up notes, so here goes.
First, David Gorski recalls the 1994 Pediatrics report on childhood diarrhea treated with tailored homeopathic remedies for each patient. There is more to the story than has been written. I am certain much of this will get back to the authors, but others may benefit from knowing how this group of homeopaths operate.
I recall the paper well, because it was the first journal report that I deconstructed and published (Pediatrics, Oct 1995) as a regular article. I think it was the first time the journal had published a formal rebuttal outside the Letters section. The head of pediatric pharmacy at Valley Medical Center, San Jose, brought the paper to me and asked what I thought if it. Bill London of National Council against Health Fraud and I spent six months discussing it and working over the details.
The paper had so many flaws, that one letter could not contain them. It had five or six end points, several arithmetical errors, graphs with missing data, only one end point reached consensus signficance (barely.)
Each case received a remedy tailored to the age, condition, duration of symptoms, appearance and odor of the stool, the recall of the parent or relative about stool frequency (which depended on how often the child's diapers were changed, and a number of other qualities, typical of a homeopathic approach to diagnosis. The remedies given were not based on etiology, but based on personal observations, We saw that the remedy was chosen at a snapshot in time, depending on all those factors which varied from hour to hour. So the remedies depended on the time at which the child was brought in for examination and were unchanged throughout the duration of illness. That made no sense at all. Besides, the specific remedies had no data behind them for proof of efficacy, and were chosen on basis of charts and computer references.
One could hardly find anything about the paper that would lend credibility to its conclusion that suggested homeopathy "worked" better than placebo. The results in our opinion demonstrated nothing more than the variations in the clinical trial system (noise.)

This question appeared in last night's Twitter Dev Chat, and I feel is worth repeating:
Q: What change are you most excited about?I highlight that last sentence for a reason. It is increasingly clear that Blizzard are pinning a great deal on Cataclysm, not simply as a means of pulling new subscribers into the Game but as a way of keeping those of us who are old enough to remember 15 Man UBRS (Need Key) as the pinnacle of Casual Game Content tied to their subscriptions. As more and more information falls from various places, whether it be talents or zone previews, anyone who knows the game well is getting a sense that we are on a timer. The Old Game will cease to exist come the Expansion, for better or for worse. If the Devs are now prepared to go on record and tell us we'll want to reroll, I think we need to grasp just how much of the game could be disappearing for good.
A: We are changing the old zones probably more than most players realize. A place like Stonetalon is virtually unrecognizable. It has all new quests and item rewards and dramatic changes to the landscape. A zone like Western Plaguelands has actually been updated to reflect the fact that the Scourge are in retreat (which is not to say that the zone is without its dangers). Everywhere you're going to see something new and surprising. I think a lot of players are excited about the level 80-85 experience (as they should be!) and the goblin and worgen zones (which if anything are better than the death knight starter zone, if you can believe that), but I think a lot of players are going to want to reroll new character of existing races and classes just to see how much everything has changed.
Outland and Northrend will stay as they are, one assumes in all this, but basic changes to levelling and talents/masteries/archeology will also resonate through these places, but you know I doubt anyone will care. As it's pretty much been confirmed you'll be able to mount up and fly across Azeroth from the word go, the possibilities for exploration are pretty much endless. I'd argue you'll be seeing a huge increase in flying-related quests generally as a result, which is great news for some (not me, I suck at bombing, racing or Aces High, just DON'T ASK) One hopes that by learning about latency issues with places like Dalaran and Shatt over the years Blizzard will give us more than two starting zones this time around as well, that they'll spread the load across two continents. Add to that the mass levelling that will occur with the Worgen and the Goblins and suddenly everyone will be replaying the game in one form or another, and all in the same place. Last time with the Space Goats and the Belfs they got to have Azeroth to themselves as they powered towards Outland... it's going to be far more crowded this time around.
The brilliance of Blizzard basically destroying the game to create it anew it has been commented upon elsewhere. The significance of that this actually entails will only now begin to become apparent as we roll towards The End of the World As We Know It. It makes me realise just how much stuff I would like to do before it all gets swept away in a flood of volcanic lava and angry Elementals. Most importantly of all, it will pretty much seal the fate of the game, because if they do this wrong... we all know what happens when you reinvent yourself badly and it goes Pete Tong. You have to hope they know what they're doing after five years... right?
The proof is coming that they do. It's whether an increasing proportion of the in-game population die of boredom beforehand first...

Skip to comments.Van Jones: Obama Wouldn't Lose Black Vote Even If He Came Out As Gay
Posted on 04/02/2012 3:23:01 PM PDT by Jedidah
I think if President Obama came out as gay, he wouldn't lose the black vote," a cheerful Van Jones told MSNBC this afternoon. . .
(video at link)
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Why isn't that remark categorized as racist and homophobic?
Or a gay marxist muslim tool of the billionaire's club.
File under "Things that make one go 'hmm.'"
It would help explain his taste in women
Omg, has Van Jones been reading Free Republic? Or going to "Man's Country?"
Really Van? Think so? Try to remember who put Proposition 8 in the "win" column here in California.
Hey,Van....you keep working on the details of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld 9/11 plot and get back to us with the report.
First time I ever remember agreeing with Van Jones!
I wonder if someone is blackmailing the Obama?
Indonesian Go Home!
You know, he's probably telling the truth about that.
But ...
Why would he say something like THAT?! Trial balloon? Maybe he knows something that most people have already figured out about this guy.
Obama wouldn't lose the obamanoid vote even if he came out as an orc.
Van Jones slurs gay community.
The "black community" already knows he's a homosexual. They want Obama money, not a role model.
His closest pals know the truth. Hope Kevin Dujan catches this slip.
Obama wouldn't lose the black vote even if he came out and said his white half had shot Trayvon Martin in cold blood.
He would get the 90%+ of the black vote even if he came out as KKK member. Even if he ate a live black baby baby on camera.
The black vote is the most racist of them all.
Finally, we've achieved Rev. King's dream of a day when we judge people by the color of their skin rather than by the content of their character.
If only he were alive to see it.
But you are right ... Zero could be the next Charlie Manson and the majority of blacks would vote for him
There, fixed it.
Hey van, the closet wears no walls... the guy's gay as rainbow flag.
That's what I suspect: trial balloon.
Kinda' think that we're being set up for the eventual showing of a Brietbart video of our impostor in chief being shown as a pillow biter. Thus, he can come out and hope the furor dies down. Isn't this man-child something?
My only 2 thoughts on the subject: Duh, we know that already ... blacks will never abandon a black politician or a democrat in general; and why the heck do we care what Van Jones thinks?
Finally, we've achieved Rev. King's dream of a day when we judge people by the color of their skin rather than by the content of their character.
If only he were alive to see it.
lol, I dont put it passed him.
lol, I dont put it passed him.
Sent it to him...
Being gay could be viewed as a bad thing? Who knew? Imagine if a republican had said this about another republican.
That ship has already sailed.
In both states only 2% of the republican voters were identified as black.
Ya' mean bestiality?
" Obama wouldnt lose the black vote even if he came out and said his white half had shot Trayvon Martin in cold blood."
Obama Wouldn't Lose Black Vote Even If ...... THAT is the problem. Just how can the liberals not see the black vote sticking with nobama as anything except engendered racism and especially to anounce it publically.
Rednecks have been right all along!
This may deserve to be front page news.
Sister_T, You said exactly what I was thinking. "Why say something like that" and then "maybe he is setting up a future narrative of some type".
Similar situation happened when Stefanopolis began that debate with the question about contraception. Everyone wondered where in the world that came from and the rest is history.
His Muslim handlers might.....
I am sure Kevin will not let it slip, but...
Before we get to giddy here, ask yourself is this a George Steponallofus and Mz Fluke set up?
Remember pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, the Birth Control Setup and some may say what is going on in FLA is all about getting their base and it's subsets excited to vote or worse...
They are playing chess and the EGOP is still hasn't had their 1s cup of coffee they are so asleep.
I hate to see us get set up again...
If???? I don't think there's an "if" to it!
"..that sound you hear that sounds like and old bi-plane starting up, is Moochelle coughing up lobster"
Obama could come out of the closet as not being born in the USA and blacks would still vote 95% for him.
Oops. Oh never mind.......... He is not a U.S. citizen and they will...
Then what's stopping him, the big coward?? Does he want his daughters to be PUNISHED by finding out on the internet like the rest of us??
Obama could come out as satan incarnate and not lose the block vote.
It's a very sad comment about the current state of affairs. They continue to think RAT policies are good for them. If Soetoro had killed Trayvon they would have blamed it on a white negro.

It took Nnamdi Asomugha a while to get the credit he deserved, and now he is known as the best player in his position.
The Raiders have more talent than just Asomugha, and this year I see five players that are not household names yet to have their coming out party and become play makers and some Pro Bowlers.
Lets take a look at five players who I believe will make the Leap from little known player to prime time player

The Electricity Club is pleased to welcome Greek duo FOTONOVELA as the opening act for TEC002 featuring MARSHEAUX on SUNDAY 29TH APRIL 2012.
Named after the noted Italo Disco song and best known as MARSHEAUX's production team, closer scrutiny reveals them to be George Geranios and Nick Bitzenis. As well as having PET SHOP BOYS, THE HUMAN LEAGUE and GROOVE ARMADA in their remix portfolio, they are also the brains behind Undo Records who have also released albums by OMD, MIRRORS, CLIENT and MESH for the Hellenic market.
Their own biog says it all…"Behind FOTONOVELA hides two of the most important personalities in the modern Greek electronic music scene". So what did FOTONOVELA give the world for their debut album? With a vast portfolio of recorded experience to dwell on with MARSHEAUX, MIKRO, NIKONN and ESTE, 'Mistakes Are Good' was a collection of dancefloor oriented tracks based around some hypnotic grooves and possibly the one of the funkiest electronic albums since FELIX DA HOUSECAT's brilliant 'Da Kittenz & Thee Glitz'.
Although obviously a product of a duo who have spent most of their lives in sunshine, there were however some darker edges. This was probably the result of being weaned on the Cold War melancholia of OMD and DEPECHE MODE. But if Norwegian duo ROYKSOPP's The Understanding had been a snapshot of Scandinavia, then 'Mistakes Are Good' was most definitely Mediterranean. Opener 'Stand Up' is a delightful funky number in the vein of TIGA who Nick does not sound unlike in the vocal department. 'Wrong Is Right' features a wacky monologue intro reminiscent of THE ORB's 'Little Fluffy Clouds' carried by a sequencer that stuns the brain. It's almost trance like!
'Gorgeous' is the most Germanic sounding track and is what is says on the tin. The vocoders, romantic chorals and Teutonic rhythmic construction are better than anything to have come out of Klingklang in the last few years. It's electro in the classic tradition, probably the best track on the collection. Lower features a more electro soul groove.
Think early HEAVEN 17 and you won't be too far off. The influence of DJ-ing at trendy parties has given FOTONOVELA an acute understanding of what it takes to get people moving. MARSHEAUX guest on the excellent 'So Strange' where Marianthi Melitsi adds her sexy accented touch to the Madame Hollywood style analogue pulse. It's perhaps a little less song orientated than MARSHEAUX but some superb vibrato synth sends nice chills down the spine as the climax builds to a magnificent screaming ARP Odyssey sounding solo.
Another guest vocalist, Elektra from ROCKETS IN A COMA appears on two tracks, providing an aggressive counterpoint to MARSHEAUX's more wispy vocal style. 'In Between Us' closes with a scat vocal synthetically manipulated into something very odd while on 'Hammer', she snarls "DJ… play my funky tunes!" And they do!
'Stupid Doll' wouldn't be lost on a SCISSOR SISTERS album… a good or bad thing depends on whether you like them or not! With some added falsetto vocals and disco string samples, it's the most immediate track on the album. It has crossover potential. Filthy or Gorgeous? You decide! 'Unfair' takes things down and is a superb closer. Takings its lead from SOLVENT's 'Wish', with its vocoder and atmospherics, it combines like BRIAN ENO's more recent song based style from 'Another Day On Earth' with classic OMD…it soothes and it relaxes.
A great debut album from a team that has been at the forefront of the internationally resurgent electronic music scene, if these songs are mistakes, then the album that George and Nick actually get right should be really interesting! Their second album promises a number of special guest vocalists from the synthesized music scene so the next move is most definitely FOTONOVELA's…
'Mistakes Are Good' is released by Undo Records and still available via their online shop.
FOTONOVELA play TEC002 as the opening act for MARSHEAUX on SUNDAY 29TH APRIL 2012. RUSTY EGAN will also be DJing between the two live acts. The venue is The Bowery, 36-38 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1E. The nearest tube station is Tottenham Court Road.

Mirkin, Boris and Camargo, R. and Fenner, Trevor and Loizou, George and Kellam, P. (2010) Similarity clustering of proteins using substantive knowledge and reconstruction of evolutionary gene histories in herpesvirus. Theoretical Chemistry Accounts 125 (3-6), pp. 569-581. ISSN 1432-881X.Full text not available from this repository.
The issue of clustering proteins into homologous protein families (HPFs) has attracted considerable attention by researchers. On one side, many databases of protein families have been developed by using popular sequence alignment tools and relatively simple clustering methods followed by extensive manual curation. On the other side, more elaborate clustering approaches have been used, yet with a very limited degree of success. This paper advocates an approach to clustering protein families involving knowledge of the protein functions to adjust the parameter of similarity scale shift. One more source of external information is utilised as we proceed to reconstruct HPF evolutionary histories over an evolutionary tree; the consistency between these histories and information on gene arrangement in the genomes is used to narrow down the choice of the clustering.

Crockett Creek
It seems like rain has been in the forecast making it much harder to find time to fish this Spring. Luckily the wash out the weather man was talking about mostly dissapated by the time it got past the Plateau, and I was able to grab a day while the rivers were great levels Freddie and Vic went out the day before and fished 2 nice Smokies streams but unfortunately the high water made for some tough fishing. They both would join me today, and after filling up with a good breakfast headed for the stream.
Crockett creek is a place that is so mysterious it even isn't on the topo map In fact, if you go looking for it you won't even be able to find it. The only way you can get there is to spend many days exploring Smokies Brookie streams, and even then you will only find it by accident And that is exactly how I found it today
We hiked in to the river, and since there were 3 of us I headed downstream. I have been doing these trips with Freddie for 4 or so years, but while Vic is a guru tailwater fisherman, he is now just leaning to fish the park since recently moving here from California so I left him with Freddie.
When I first hit the water downstream, I was immediately grinning
First cast, missed a nice one. Second cast small bump. Third cast
He probably shouldn't have counted as he went for the dry only to get tangled in my dropper. There was probably 10 to 12 pools right in a row on this section, as I thought to myself about how last time I had put in just upstream.
Still no feeding frenzy, but the fishing was GOOD
Will continue in another post
I was about to be caught up where Vic and Freddie started fishing when I landed this beauty. I showed Freddie a pic on the trail, and he said I call that "Orange and Butter".
I still managed to pick up a few once I got to the stale water, and it wasn't too long till I caught up to Vic hung up in the Rhodo. I tried to assure him that this was just part of the Smokies learning curve, but I can remember how frustating it is when you first learn to deal with Smokies conditions
I caught up to Freddie who was also having a good day. The 3 of us continued upstream alternating the better pools between the three of us.
The vertical view
Then we hit what I perceived to be an island. Freddie and Vic went left, I went right. I fished for several hundred yards, and it still felt like an island so I continued. I was picking up some nice fish.
I went another few hundred yard and the bend toward to other river allowed me to fool myself into still thinking it was still an island.
I pushed on further and in every nice pool there was a great fish to distract me.
Then you come to the realization that is may just not be an island, but this guy makes you want to ignore that and keep fishing
While the fishing was great and I didn't want to stop it was now 2 PM (The time the rain was supposed to set in), and I was separated from my fishing buddies. I turned on my GPS and was a bit surprised when it showed my not on a stream and heading straight up the mountain. Time to climb back down. Nothing like downstream walking that makes realize how much ground one can cover in a short period of time. As I got near the bottom I was it was only a short stretch through some really thick rhodo to jump over to the correct stream. Glad to be on the right stream I now had to find Freddie and Vic. After some hooting and hollering I was able to get a good idea of general area, and ten or so minutes later we were all united for the hike out. I snapped a few flower shots and we ended our day.
So if you ever are on a great commonly overlooked brookie stream, go right at an island and find out you are lost. Your not lost you just found Crockett Creek
Cool report Ducky!
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation, unless they fly fish... with apologies to Thoreau
Man you have the greatest adventures chasing specks up there! Glad you had a good time. Those are some absolutely gorgeous fish!
"Then He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" Matthew 4:19

Great Pictures of beautiful fish and gorgeous country!! Just curious, after you took that right and fished it, how did you learn the name of the creek? Also, gotta wonder how many other little streams there are like that up in those mountains.
We are so blessed to have the park in our back yard!
The world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana.

While the real name isn't Crockett creek, I will give you a hint. If you look at a 1931 park map it has the creek correctly located (Joe Fred would probably know), but all newer maps just seem to be wrong
Thanks for others kind replies
DP, the term "awesome" doesn't do justice to your report and, yes, I am convinced the '31 map is spot on.
Love the name you gave the stream, but the Crockett Creek with which I am most familiar meanders lazily through the lush meadows of Rogersville's southside... not that that's relevant.

So, is the '31 topo map still available? A man has to wonder how satellite and GPS can't give us more accurate cartography.
The world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana.

Also, does the '31 map show that tiny brookie "gorge" where the stream surges between two flat rock walls - Cricket Crack? Is Cricket Crack on Crockett Creek?

The history of the storyteller bracelet originated in the early 1900's. However it really caught on when the desire of non-native americans wanted to wear Native American cultural art and folklore as their jewelry. With the approval of the Navajo the style flourished and peaked in the 1960's. All storyteller bracelets are overlay designed using scenes such as hogans, wagons, bears, horses, southwest scenery and many others in everyday life. This is a very excellent example of a storyteller bracelet. Navajo Randy Hoskie is the creator of this beautiful cuff bracelet. It weights 85.4 grams being 6.75 " inside circumference and 1.5" wide. With Wagons, teepee, hogan, and a sunset over a southwestern mountain plateau, it embodies the life of such a great nation. It shows slight wear but is in very good condition. Hoskie does a great job in putting native American life in silver. Thank you for visiting our Lane.

Finland is a very nice place. It has nothing great, but everything is good. There was never one moment I did not enjoy here. I think as soon as global warming hits the world, it will be a great place. It's only got warm weather about one month out of the year. I would say the winters in Arizona are warmer than here in summer. Another thing I really liked about Finland was their nice people and I never used cash here excpet to take a picture with the reindeer. It was nice only using credit card and racking up the points/miles! If I do this, I also do not get charged $5 for doing a withdrawal from the ATM

Henderson has increased the oversight authority of a court-appointed monitor. Jordan now must consult with the monitor before making important department decisions such as promoting and disciplining officers, and changing policing policy and tactics.
In an interview last month, Batts said the court monitor was counterproductive. "I had to call the monitor twice a week, and I had to ask permission and he had to say, 'OK' " before moves could be made, Batts said. "Crime does not wait."
"I do think we had progress there," he said when asked about Oakland during his introduction at Baltimore City Hall in August.

Guest Book
Dramatically handsome is this miniature tansu, designed to hold dolls' clothes for the celebration of Girls Day in Japan. Covered on all sides in Korean-style marquetry of various woods -- red ash, persimmon, ebony in a crazy-quilt jumble of stylized fans, game boards and geometric devices, highlighted with silvered mounts. The two doors portray an inset scene of a rooster and hen with their chicks surrounded by summer flowers, masterfully executed in raised lacquer, a tribute to domestic bliss. When the doors are opened, a fantastic lacquer interior of lifelike imitation birch-bark and many floral roundels in brilliant lacquer and tinted mother-of-pearl are revealed. The effect is truly dazzling. (Many years ago, the tansu held the jewels of a San Francisco debutante who married a French count. They founded a dynasty of West Coast newspaper publishers.) This splendid tansu dates from about the end of the Edo Era to the beginning of the reign of the Emperor Mejii, around 1860. It is in fine condition with a few flaws here and there that do do detract from the overall effect. It measures approximately 21-1/2 inches high by 23-1/2 inches wide by 13-1/4 inches deep.


text: Over recent years, there have been a number of controversies among Pagans which probably left a lot of newcomers to Paganism a bit baffled, especially when the terminology got a bit arcane. I think these controversies are interesting and illuminating because they raise important questions of who we are, how we relate to each other as a community and individually, what we hold sacred, and how we relate to deities and the world around us.

Presumably, says something "there is no -derivation of 0=1". If it is false (in the standard model ), then there exists, in fact, a -derivation of 0=1. Then is contradictory and therefore derives everything. However, it is proved that does not prove .

Six-month-old Harlee Hirsch is her dad's mini-me.
"She has my eyes, but otherwise she looks just like her daddy," says her mom, Andee Hirsch.
Aaron Hirsch, Harlee's dad, is thankful to spend his first Father's Day with his miracle baby. The wide-eyed girl who can sit up all by herself and constantly smiles and coos nearly lost her life a week after birth. Andee and Aaron brought their newborn home from a local hospital and began their life as a family of three. A few days later, Andee noticed that Harlee vomited after every feeding, and one morning she couldn't get her baby girl to wake up.
After rushing to the Emergency Department at Children's at Legacy, Andee found out that Harlee was born with an imperforate anus - her anus had not developed in utero, and she was in septic shock. Harlee spent two weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children's in Dallas, where she recovered before pediatric surgeon Dr. David Schindel performed a three-part surgery process to build and repair the anatomy.
In honor of Father's Day, read what Aaron has to say about being a dad to his "little princess:"
Being a first-time dad, having my daughter was the happiest day of my life. However, the happiest day quickly turned into the worst day after finding out our daughter had a rare birth defect that would require a series of three surgeries.
The first surgery was by far the hardest. No parent should ever have to see their 9-day-old daughter hooked up to a bunch of wires and laying helpless in a hospital bed. It killed me knowing there was nothing I could do. After the first surgery was over, before we knew it we had made it through the second surgery and were on our way to her final surgery. By the time the third surgery rolled around, I was overwhelmed by a feeling of excitement knowing everything was finally almost over. That definitely beat the fear and anxiety I felt through the first two.
Six months later, I can't believe we finally made it through this experience. Now, I definitely feel like we, as a family, can make it through anything. Going through this has definitely made me a stronger dad and man. I'm so happy to have my healthy baby girl home, and I can't wait to spend my first Father's Day with my little princess.

text: I am not sure exactly what you are saying. Any object with finite volume and density functions has a "center of mass" but it is not necessarily in the object itself. For example, if the object is a uniform ring, then the center of mass is, by symmetry, at the center of the ring.
