Coach Peterson | Brandon Crump
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Marcus Neal hit three free throws with 1.2 seconds left to lift Nebraska to a 62-61 victory over Tennessee on Thursday night.
Tennessee (6-5) led 61-57 with 41 seconds left after making a 10-0 run, but missed four foul shots in the last 36 seconds, including the front end of two one-and-bonus situations.
Nebraska (5-4) cut the deficit to two on Jason Dourisseau's dunk with 34 seconds left. The Vols' Scooter McFadgon missed two foul shots with 9.8 seconds left, and the Cornhuskers worked for the last shot.
With time running out, the ball was knocked loose, Neal grabbed it and was fouled by C.J. Watson while attempting a 3-point shot. He hit the first two, and after a Vols timeout, hit the game-winner.
Neal led Nebraska with 17 points and Joe McCray and Jake Muhleisen had 11 each.
Tennessee was led by Brandon Crump with 19 points, McFadgon with 15 and Watson with 11.
The Vols were just 6-of-17 from the foul line, while the Cornhuskers were 11-of-18.
Neither team led by more than six points in the first half.
Nebraska used an 8-0 run, capped by Muhleisen's 3-pointer with 4:58 left in the half, for a 24-18 lead - the biggest lead for either team in the first half. The Cornhuskers led 31-26 at halftime.
Tennessee regained the lead twice in the first seven minutes of the second half.
With the score tied at 42, Nebraska went on an 8-0 run and took a 50-42 lead on Neal's 3-pointer with 10:03 left.
Nebraska was up 57-51 when the Vols started a 10-0 run capped by Crump's shot on the baseline with 3:25 left. Andre Patterson's dunk in transition gave the Vols a 61-57 lead with 41 seconds to play.

It was some time ago that Sandra sang the praises of the concept of the U3 drive, so when I was recently I offered a chance to look at a 2GB U3 drive from SanDisk, I was happy to accept.
The U3 drive concept is thus: instead of your USB memory key merely being dumb storage a U3 drive contains preinstalled software applications. The idea is that all your major applications run from your USB key rather than from the hard disk of the PC you plug it into. This gives you the advantage of being more easily able to transport your work around with you and increase security by protecting you from viruses that can lurk on PCs.
When you first plug in your drive a U3 icon appears in the system tray. From here you fire up the U3 Launchpad, which looks very much like the Windows XP launcher but pops up from the system tray. From here you can launch the preinstalled applications, which on the SanDisk Titanium are essentially just Skype and Avast antivirus. The former is offered with a special offer of one month of voicemail included. This start-up process can be slightly annoying as it takes a few seconds before this start up tray loads but you can prevent it from running by holding down shift as you plug in the drive.
You can't make any application run from 'U3 Smart' applications are ones that have been adapted to run directly from the drive, and remove themselves totally from the system after you remove the drive. This is why you are always prompted to eject the U3 drive from your PC, rather than just pull it out as you would with a regular USB key. If you want to add applications, you can just download them from the U3 homepage or from a Sandisk portal and there are a whole range to choose from, including obvious essentials such as Firefox and Thunderbird.
The drive it's small and sleek. It's encased in metal shell, which seems rugged enough – the packaging claims it can withstand 2,000lbs worth of force, but I wasn't in a position to be able to test that, but it does inspire confidence. I always dislike USB keys with removable lids as they're too easy to lose. Frankly, I'm amazed that I've still got the little plastic top of my current 1GB USB key workhorse that I've had for nearly a year.
I've had the 8GB version for some time and was initially very interested in using the U3 platform. Gradually however, I began to realise that support for U3 and in particular for application packaged to run portably on the U3 platform is fading rapidly away.
The first application I installed was Mozilla Thunderbird for U3. The only version available wasn't even up to the latest release although with Thunderbird this isn't a problem: it updates itself in place. For other applications though, they either aren't packaged for U3 at all or have not been kept up-to-date with the latest releases.
The solution has been to swap instead to the well supported PortableApps platform. Initially I installed it alongside U3 on the same device and that worked well. However, I have now completely removed U3 and converted over entirely to PortableApps and not regretted it for a minute.
PortableApps is not the only player though. You can consider instead SmithTech's Portable Menu, which does much the same job. As for U3, it's history.
I've been using the 1GB version for a long time (I don't have much files to take with me.) and it's the most indestructible thumbdrive I've ever used. When you drop it, you hear a solid metal thunk, not the sound of plastic.
A person drove over it with a car, with the thumbdrive propped at an angle to ensure highest 'damage', and other than some scratches it escaped unharmed. The same couldn't be said of the other thumbdrives sacrificed in the name of science, though... ;)

I want to travel the world. I've been to Europe once and South America twice. I used to go to Asia every 2 years, but now it's only every 4, and soon to be less than that. I still need to go to Australia and Africa. I would like to get back to Europe and South America again though. Not sure if there is anything worthwhile in Antartica but feel free to convince me.
I'm considering at least one amateur MMA fight. First I need to do some more grappling tournaments so I don't lose horribly.
I learned to snowboard this winter, but I want to get better. I've been skiing my whole life and have probably peaked in terms of skill. Time to do something new in the snow.
I want to become better at surfing. I've done it a handful of times but need to go to the beach more often if this is to become a reality. I should also probably buy a surfboard.
I'm looking for someone who will challenge me to become a better person and who can lead me to new experiences.

The benefits of mindfulness for litigators
The stress of litigation is not just unpleasant — it can cause attorneys to make poor choices. The practice of mindfulness offers help.
A recent article in Litigation explains how mindfulness works and how you can employ it to help decrease stress.
Mindfulness is an awareness of life in the present moment: simple to state but not so easy to accomplish. The mind is often cluttered with ruminations about the past and concerns about the future.
Mindfulness creates the opportunity to pause, breathe and connect with one's inner thoughts, feelings and emotions; in other words, to become aware of how we are reacting in a given situation and to provide ourselves with the opportunity to moderate our reaction and respond thoughtfully.
Scott Rogers, director of Miami Law's Mindfulness in Law Program, shares how mindfulness works: Through an exercise as seemingly simple as paying attention to the breath, with practice, one becomes more expert at noticing the subtle movement of the mind and body as thoughts, feelings and sensations continuously arise and pass away.
When attorneys practice mindfulness, the experience they gain by noticing their minds moving off into distraction and returning their attention to their breath makes them better equipped to deal with the unexpected — because they catch the thoughts and feelings that are resisting the moment and are better equipped to stay on task and respond in proportion to the challenge. Mindfulness also enhances lawyers' capacity to be more genuine and present for what arises in their interactions with their clients, colleagues, witnesses and adversaries. They are better able to focus on and enjoy their work.
So how does one achieve a state of mindfulness? There are various methods, and you are best served by exploring what resonates for you. Generally, mindfulness meditation is a process that involves sitting quietly and focusing attention on the breath. Visit the Mindful Lawyer for additional information and suggestions.

About "The real me" by Ian-S
The real me
Design by Ian-S
8 colour design. I hope you all like it!
There have been a couple "i am a normal person in real life but a superhuman badass in the digital world!" designs on Threadless so far, and this one proudly takes a plce among the better ones. I love the coloring and how the online persona dwarfs the actual human controlling him. The only thing I'd like changed is a more intense evoliving of the online character from the human, whether through zeroes/ones or with some extra half-tones and lighting, but really like as is, good work Ian-S!
It's up for voting a lot quicker than I thought it would be!
yes! I love it!
$5 this is awesome!
awesome illo!
so nice :D :D :D
this is amazing. WIN. 5$
uber cool!
nice illo
This came out very nice, congrats!
This kicks tons of ass!
Thanks for the nice comments!

The Wright State softball team overcame an early 2-0 deficit to take a 5-2 lead, only to see Dayton score four times in the bottom of the sixth to win 6-5 Tuesday afternoon at the UD Softball Stadium.
Dayton opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the second and it stayed that way until the Raiders tied it in the fifth, taking advantage of three Flyers errors to do so.
WSU then took the lead with three in the sixth. Alex Machen reached second on an error to start the frame and scored as Angie Clark had a two-out single up the middle. Jess Gorman followed with a line drive home run to left, her second of the season, to make it 5-2.
A three-run homer by UD's Jordan Jennings, though, tied it in the bottom of the sixth and the Flyers scored the winning run later in the inning on a bases-loaded walk to Natalie Mariano.
Gorman finished with three hits, two RBI and two runs scored to pace the Raider offense. WSU starting pitcher Krystian DeWitt allowed just four hits and one earned run in five innings, striking out six.
Wright State (7-24) and Dayton (15-15) meet again on Wednesday, this time at the WSU Softball Field starting at 6:00.

Dorm Zen: Container Gardening
July 22nd, 2009 admin
As I was poking around the kid's website at Apartment Therapy, I came across an awesome dorm zen idea–container gardening! I did a little more research on it, and I was really impressed.
Those of us who have only a dorm room or an apartment to work with (and therefore limited gardening space) can still have a little garden. I love the idea of whipping up a small herb garden to make cooking cheaper (have you seen how expensive herbs are, even dried ones?!). Plus as you'll remember, I've found that plants have a very soothing influence–a nice bonus when you're studying for finals.
You'll probably need a little bit of outdoor space–a small patio, balcony, or even a window box will do. Here are some links to get you started:
- Ingenious shoe pocket organizer garden (photo above). This was the inspiration for this post, and definitely my favorite container garden so far. I love that it is cheap, efficient, and really kind of cute.
- A plethora of YouTube videos on container gardening. There are some targeted specifically to herb gardening, so if you want to give herbs a shot make sure you watch those. Some plants are trickier to grow than you would think.
- A WVU student examines the best plant options for container gardening, as well as its requirements and benefits.
- Colorado State's coop has tips, too, and
- About.com can teach you how to plant in anything from a pot to a Capri Sun packet.
Has anybody given this a shot? I'm thinking of trying a little herb garden in my apartment! 🙂

I don't even have a yard in my room next year, so I will stick to plants in my study room..
4. GardenMad1 | July 28th, 2009 at 10:01 am
I have just such a shoe organiser that my kids threw out – I hate throwing anything away so it has stayed in the "glory hole"; now I know what to do with it!
Thanks for this, it is just the inspiration I need.
5. Kaci | August 2nd, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Thanks for posting this! I'm looking into upgrading to a small townhouse that has no yard and was wondering about how to plant some things. I'd heard of container gardening but I like this much better.
6. Trish Fritz | August 2nd, 2009 at 11:45 pm
We can have plants in our place even if it is too small. All we have to do is to be creative. Plus a little research about herb, flowers and veggies. By the way, that shoe pocket organizer garden is cute!

11. Jamie | February 8th, 2010 at 11:47 am
@Courtney: That's a good point, and unfortunately I don't know the answer because I haven't gotten to try it myself. Proper drainage would be a must, but as to how long it works, if you want to try it out I suggest contacting the tutorial creator through their Instructables account (linked through their tut post).

taking baudelaire and ingesting him from notwhich
I've been asked to participate in an evening celebrating John Ashbery's new translations of Rimbaud's "Illuminations." The section entitled TALE resonated with where I felt my life was at this point — a bit groundless yet lit; my job in transition again, a few life curves to consider, your basic mirror-check with the other eye free in the ease that waddles in the shift. Hello Sir Ashbery, ur Rimbaud… allow me my punkdom.
Interpreting a translation gives me an appreciation of the distance offered — that path of size from story — the levels within the original palimpsest inherent to the passage. One approach I tried was a homophonic translation created out of the original text which was then merged with the Ashbery translation — a scientific concoction — an elephant as an albatross — over-information as a wake-up call. Too-much added to nothing-new. I revisited Ashbery's "Convex Mirror."
Simplify. Is what I felt should happen. The translation needs to be heard. As itself. But don't just read it. Record it. Okay that's a start. Movement. While the words are heard. A play. A dance. Too involved. Go back to the text.
Was there a way to subvert the text, to look under its neural activators, and simplify it while keeping it intact? Speaking of simplicity, boys of every age, here in Soho and the world over, have erupted in Springtime, looking down the blouse of anything curvy… like clockwork. Like seasons… in hell. Just an observation.
Okay, so the poem is a fairy tale about a prince who has lost reason in the face of wonder. It came to me that the prince could be life… rather, society. The world and its consumption, its vortexed hunger for media shutting off real human contact. A synopsis came through in the poem, every few lines… a resolve, a map, a chart of humanity's social progress. One or two words to sum up every few lines of text, for a parallel text.
I could hold that up on a board while the recording is heard. Too Vanna White. Make it the opposite, Satan. But death and vanilla have been done… to death. Disappear. From the stage. From the poem. Hold up each word, as a huckster. An invisible pawn. Entertaining the horde. How would silent Satan gesture his curse? Pilobulos. Cirque Du Soleil.
The recitation is in a dream state against a numbingly massaged music track. The performer wears black shoes, white pants, white shirt, white gloves and a black lace blindfold across the eyes. 5 white boxes, 12 x 12 inches, on the floor. Each side has one or two words in black. The recording plays, each box is 'floated' up by the performer's hands, in extreme mime gesture, showing each side in harmony with the text. At the end, the last box shows one side black, one side white, one side with two dots. The performer places that box down, lowers the blindfold to cover his face, takes out two dice from his shirt pocket… this is timed as one fluid gesture. When last words are heard, the dice are thrown, lights fade.

To celebrate the new achievement, Xiaomi released a champagne gold version of the Mi3 - pictured on the left. Although the Mi3 is available in several Asian markets, this new version will be sold only in China.
Being Xiaomi's flagship, the Mi3 is also its most expensive handset. However, it's significantly cheaper than the flagships of other companies, costing less than $300 (unlocked). Despite its low price, the Mi3 has a lot to offer, including a 5-inch 1080p display, 13MP rear camera, quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 3,050 mAh battery. The smartphone uses Xiaomi's own MIUI interface on top of Android Jelly Bean.
Later this year, Xiaomi will probably announce a successor to the Mi3, apparently called Mi3S. The company, which employs ex-Googler Hugo Barra as VP of global business, plans to sell a total of 60 million smartphones throughout 2014. Seeing how things are going thus far, Xiaomi will likely succeed in doing so - especially since it will soon enter new markets, including Europe and South America.

Getting a bitmap to display with the proper dimensions
If I have a RasterArray an I want to display it such as to get a one to
one mapping of my elements to the pixels in the notebook.
here is an example that works:
as you see I had to add 3 and 9. those numbers are working for 40 and 50
as the dimensions. in practice I have to do trial and error to figure
what they need to be.It changes with a lot of options.For example add
Axes->True and try to get a one to one mapping again.
Is there an option or a formula that could make this an easier process?

Feb 18, 2014 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterFremont County Commissioners passed on an opportunity to appoint a former commissioner to the Fremont County Museums board.
Gary Shoemaker, who last sat on the commission in 1992, applied for a seat on the museums board and interviewed with the current commissioners. Commissioner Travis Becker moved on Feb. 11 to appoint Shoemaker, but no one seconded his motion. Commissioner Larry Allen was not present.
"The stated reason was, I believe, Commissioner (Stephanie) Kessler wanted to look at more candidates than having one to choose from," commission chairman Doug Thompson said.
The museums board has seen turmoil in the last year during which one chairman
stepped down, three members voted to oust the subsequent chairman in November, who then resigned from the board completely, and the two top staffers at the Dubois Museum quit in December.
Fremont County Commissioners criticized the museums board's handling of several issues at a Feb. 5 meeting, and Dubois Mayor Twila Blakeman voiced concerns about the museums board on several occasions in January.
Reading about the board's issues in newspapers made Shoemaker want to wade in.
"(It would be) maybe a sort of a payback to the town and the county," he said. "I've had a good life and though maybe I'd give it a whirl."
During his interview, Shoemaker expressed a difference of opinion from the museums board's direction on moving to a central director structure, and on the budget for a new Dubois Museum.
Upon a recommendation from commissioners, the board decided to restructure its administration so one director oversees all three museums and started advertising for the position in October. The facilities had been run independently.
Shoemaker does not think a central director is necessary.
"I question the need, really," he said.
The museums board also has pursued building a new museum in Dubois since 2012 but last year requested a new design that would cost about $2.5 million to build. Original plans would have cost $5 million to construct.
Shoemaker thought even the $2.5 million was even too high.
"As soon as contractors seem to find taxpayers are paying for it, the price tag goes up," he said. "The budget for the Dubois museum, that seems terribly high to me."

SDB Requirements
These SDB Requirements Instructions are applicable for construction contracts procured and administered by the System. These SDB Requirements Instructions are unique to the System.
The SDB Requirements Instructions and the processes contained herein have been implemented as an interim program by the System, and may be changed in the future.
- Definitions
The following words or terms are defined as stated when used herein, unless clearly indicated otherwise.
MBE/WBE: Minority-Owned Business Enterprise/Woman-Owned Business Enterprise; a business that is owned and operated by a person or persons considered to be a minority due to race/gender.
VB/SDVB: Veteran-Owned Business/Service-Disabled-Veteran-Owned Business; a business as defined in PA Act 185 of 2012, which provides for contracting with veteran-owned small businesses.
Small Business: a business which meets the requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS) Small Business Procurement Initiative for self-certification as being Small.
SDB: Small Diverse Business; an MBE, a WBE, a VB, or an SDVB, any of which is also a Small Business.
Certified SDB: an SDB verified as such by DGS. Hereinafter, Certified SDB are simply referred to as SDB, in both the singular and the plural.
Non-Minority Firm: A business that cannot be classified, or has not been verified or certified, as an SDB.
REAA: Reasonable Effort Award Amount; that amount of the work under a construction contract for which competitive quotes can reasonably be expected to be obtained from SDB subcontractors, suppliers, and/or vendors. The REAA is expressed as a percent, and is applied as a percentage of the prime bidder's bid (usually applied against Base Bid No. 1).
Proactive Solicitation: Aggressive effort taken by a prime bidder to obtain written quotes from SDB subcontractors, suppliers, and/or vendors, which the prime bidder can then submit with his/her bid so as to reach or exceed the REAA for the Contract.
Commitment: A conditional written promise that a subcontractor's, supplier's, and/or vendor's written quote given at the time of bid will be honored, in at least the amount quoted, or in a lesser amount if acceptable by mutual negotiations, for the scope of work and/or materials specified.
Subcontract: The term subcontract shall include subcontracts for construction services, purchase orders for construction materials and/or equipment rental, or some combination of the two, or similar arrangements. Hereafter, no distinction is made between subcontract, purchase order, rental agreement, or other similar arrangement. The same applies for subcontractor, supplier, and vendor.
- Proactive Solicitation Policy
Prime bidders submitting bids for System construction contracts shall proactively solicit SDB and encourage them to submit written quotes for portions of the work as subcontractors. If a quote from an SDB is the lowest received for that portion of the work, if that quote is responsive, and if the prime bidder determines that SDB to be responsible, then the prime bidder shall make a commitment to award a subcontract to that SDB.
- Acceptable Proactive Solicitation
An REAA for each Separate Prime contract is established by the System and is provided in the Special Instructions to Bidders. The REAA is based on the scope of work of the project and contract, and the current demographics concerning ready, willing, and able SDB subcontractors in an appropriate geographic area.
An acceptable proactive solicitation effort by a bidder is considered to be, at a minimum, solicitation effort such that competitive quotes totaling the REAA could reasonably be expected to be received from SDB.
- Normally it takes multiple solicitations in order to reasonably expect to receive a quote. The number of solicitations that may be needed varies, depending on the size of the project, the scope of work being solicited, the dollar value of the work being solicited, the location of the project, the location of the SDB being solicited, etc.
- In some cases it may take solicitations of various scopes of work of lesser value to total the value of the REAA. In such a case, multiple solicitations for each scope of work would most likely be required.
Evidence of proactive solicitation of the REAA is considered in determining the responsiveness of a bid. A bidder shall be considered to have fulfilled the requirement to conduct acceptable proactive solicitation in one of the following three ways. All actions shall be as of the time of bids.
- If the bidder makes commitments to SDB at or above the REAA at the time of bids, the bidder will be considered to have met the proactive solicitation requirements.
- If the bidder does not make commitments to SDB at or above the REAA at the time of bids, the bidder must have conducted acceptable proactive solicitation for the value of the REAA, with one or a combination of the following occurring.
(1) An acceptable proactive solicitation effort was made to obtain quotes from SDB, but written quotes were not received from any of them, and/or
(2) A written quote was received from an SDB, but a lower written quote was received from a Non-Minority Firm for the identical scope of work, and a commitment was made to that Non-Minority Firm.
- A combination of items a., b.(1), and b.(2) above is acceptable. A portion of the REAA may be fulfilled by commitment to an SDB, with the rest of the REAA being fulfilled through acceptable proactive solicitation.
- Submission Requirements for Evidence of Proactive Solicitation
Bidders must show proof of their proactive solicitation by submitting with their bid a completed SDB Solicitation Form and copies of the following, as appropriate:
- All written solicitations to SDB.
- All solicited and unsolicited written quotes received from SDB.
- Any written quote from a Non-Minority Firm that is lower than the lowest quote received from an SDB, and which is the basis of a commitment to that Non-Minority Firm.
- Any letters of commitment to SDB or Non-Minority Firms submitting the lowest written quotes.
- Explanatory information, if not obvious from other information submitted, which provides reasons, if known, why written commitments were not made for the lowest written quotes received from SDB, and/or other reasons why the REAA could not be met.
If the prime bidder is an SDB, he/she must indicate on the SDB Solicitation Form that they are a DGS-verified SDB, and list any verification or certification number(s) or documentation. No proactive solicitation or other documentation is required.
- Determination of Responsiveness
The procurement office issuing the Contract will review the documentation submitted and determine, based on the documentation submitted, whether acceptable proactive solicitation was conducted. If the Contracting Officer determines that the bidder did not perform acceptable proactive solicitation, the Contracting Officer may determine the bid to be non-responsive and reject the bid.
The review and determination will consider, among other things, the following requirements:
- If the SDB Solicitation Form was fully completed, and if all supporting documents were included.
- If the bidder listed all those SDB to which solicitations were made.
- If the bidder identified the scope of work and/or materials solicited from each SDB.
- If the bidder identified the SDB by verification number, certification number, or similar designation.
- If the bidder contacted SDB directly and requested written quotes for specific work or materials. Mailings to large numbers of SDB which are intended to provide notice of a bidder's interest in bidding a construction project may be deemed to not be acceptable proactive solicitation.
- If the bidder provided sufficient time for SDB to properly prepare quotes.
- If the bidder submitted all solicited and/or unsolicited quotes from SDB.
The review and determination may also include, among other things, the following considerations.
- Did the bidder solicit a varied selection of SDB which appear to be categorized as performing the required subcontracting effort?
- Did the bidder solicit appropriate scopes of work to the various SDB? Scopes or work that are too small, oddly organized, or cut out of a larger scope may not be of interest to some SDB; scopes of work that are too large or include other trades or specialties may not be within the capacity of some SDB.
- Did the bidder solicit SDB in a geographic locale such that they would reasonably be expected to quote on the project, or outside that locale? Did the bidder make an effort to solicit all the appropriate SDB within a reasonable geographic locale, or simply solicit a set number?
- Was the bidder supportive of solicited SDB in order to obtain their quotes? Was the scope of work being solicited clear? Did the solicitation indicate where and how the plans and specifications could be reviewed? Was the time for submitting a quote clear and adequate?
- How many quotes did the bidder get from SDB, even if some or all of them were not competitive? How many quotes were received, and what percent of the REAA did they represent? If quotes were received, depending on the number and percent, the proactive solicitation effort may not be required to be as demanding as if no bids or quotes were received.
- Was the bidder able to make some commitments to SDB, even if at below the REAA? For what percent of the REAA were commitments made? If commitments were made, depending on that percentage, the proactive solicitation effort for the remaining dollar value to reach the REAA may not be required to be as demanding as if no commitments were made.
- Did the bidder receive a low quote from an SDB, but that SDB then refused a commitment?
- How clear and convincing is the bidder's explanatory information as to why he/she was otherwise not able to meet the REAA?
- Contractual Obligations
The bid of the successful bidder, including the completed SDB Solicitation Form and accompanying documents regarding solicitation and commitments to SDB, shall be considered as incorporated in and become contractual obligations under the terms and conditions of the Contract awarded to that bidder.
If an SDB submits a quote that is the lowest quote for a specific scope of work and/or materials, the successful bidder is obligated to offer a commitment, at the time of bids, in the amount quoted to that SDB, but only to the extent that there is an agreement as to the scope of work and/or materials specified at the time of bids. The successful bidder may, however, offer a commitment to an SDB whose quote was not the lowest quote.
If accepted by an SDB, a commitment to that SDB made at the time of bids must be culminated with a subcontract or purchase order of at least the dollar value of the commitment, unless otherwise agreed upon by the SDB. If a commitment is not accepted by the SDB, a commitment may be made to any other qualified subcontractor without penalty of invalidating the bidder's SDB proactive solicitation.
The System will send copies of the successful bidder's Notice of Award letter, or other notification, to those SDB who presented the lowest quotes and/or received commitments from the successful bidder at the time of bids. These copies will serve as notice to those SDB to anticipate award of subcontracts for the project.
Failure to follow the above procedures constitutes a potential breach of the requirements of the Contract, and may be grounds for termination of the Contract. In any event, the Contract Sum will not be adjusted to accommodate rejected commitments made to subcontractors to satisfy SDB requirements.

This has been eating at me since Saturday night. When I got to my regular seats for the Nebraska game there was someone sitting in my seat. I'm a season ticket holder, have been since 2003. I've been in Section 24C, Row 20, Seats 11 and 12 for about 5 seasons now. I know where my seats are drunk or sober. The people sitting in my seats were Cornshucker fans, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I made sure they had the right section, row, etc... They were off one seat. The 6 seats in the area have the permanent seat backs attached, so honest mistake. I also know the four seats they were sitting in were season ticket holder seats. I started thinking what kind of season ticket holder doesn't come to one of the marquee games of the season? And if you can not come WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU GIVE/SELL YOUR TICKETS TO FANS OF THE OTHER TEAM? It was a family of four with two young boys, not unlike my own family. They were enjoying themselves and were very nice. I was more upset with the Buckeye "fan" that allowed them these seats. I know, I know, it's a free country you can do what you want with your tickets. I get it. But this is a B1G team coming in at night and we need all the support we can muster. Why would you lessen the noise factor by 4 people. I would never sell my own tickets to anyone other than a Buckeye. It didn't matter at the end, because we won. I would have been livid if we lost. I guess my point is this. If you have tickets to a game and need to sell your tickets please exhaust every option you have before selling to "the enemy". If the AACC game rolls around and I have to sit next to a fan of the Skunk Bears I'll probably be thrown out of the stadium and arrested. To top it all off the husband did not stand during the National Anthem. Don't get me started on that topic! Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
What are your thoughts?

Number Five Leading Cause of Death for Men in Alabama
The term stroke is commonly used to describe a sudden problem with the brain, usually related to the blood supply the brain is receiving. While many risk factors (cholesterol, smoking, diabetes) have been identified for increasing a person's risk for stroke, hypertension is the greatest. Some stroke risk factors, such as family history, cannot be controlled, but others can be. Regular exercise, diet and smoking cessation can benefit both mental and physical health and reduce the risk of stroke.
Your ability to recognize a stroke and act F.A.S.T. can make all the difference.

The Manitoba Métis Federation is accusing the Canadian Museum for Human Rights of censorship and is threatening to boycott the institution because it is excluding a decorated Métis musician from its grand opening.
President David Chartrand said the museum approached the federation and asked which Métis performers should be included in next month's ceremonies, which are to be televised live.
He said the Winnipeg museum rejected the federation's choice – 74-year-old musician Ray St. Germain – because they thought "a younger person might fit the flow of the event better."
"We took a very strong offence to that. Who are you to tell us how to promote our culture?" Mr. Chartrand said Tuesday.
"This is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Did they forget their mandate? They start to tell us how we're going to advance our identity or description of who we are to the world?"
The federation has voted to boycott Canada's newest museum, Mr. Chartrand said.
"We want to make sure we showcase the greatest talent we have," he said. "If that's what they stand for – to dictate or control the information – then we want nothing to do with them."
Even though it is not yet open, this isn't the first time the museum has come under fire.
A Manitoba First Nation has criticized the museum for using Winnipeg's water supply, which comes from the band's traditional territory. Others have objected because the museum will not use the word "genocide" to describe Canada's historic aboriginal policies.
A museum spokeswoman said organizers asked the Métis federation for suggestions, but had to ensure the opening ceremonies reflect all of Canada. Rhea Yates said the event has to be diverse and appropriate for a television broadcast.
"What we were doing with (the Métis federation) is sharing our overall vision for the program and seeking their input," Ms. Yates said.
"It is challenging to put together a program for a national event and have everybody applauding your choices at the end. But we think we're putting together a very powerful program and it will be something a lot of people are looking forward to."
Discussions between the federation and the museum were ongoing and weren't meant to be in the public eye, Ms. Yates added. The museum is "sincerely regretful" there is now an impression it doesn't want to work with Mr. St. Germain, she said.
"We, as a museum, have the highest respect for him as a performer and as a person. We've reached out to him to make sure he knows that, as well."
The musician in the middle of it all said he was contacted by the museum but told them to talk to the Métis federation. Mr. St. Germain, a recipient of the Order of Manitoba who once played on the same bill as country legend Johnny Cash, said he was a bit "flabbergasted" by the museum's decision.
If he had been included in the ceremony, he was planning to sing I'm Mighty Proud I'm Métis, he said.
"I was taken aback about what was said, about wanting someone younger," said Mr. St. Germain, who ran for the federal Liberals in the 2006 election. "It took me quite by surprise."
It's up to the federation and the museum to sort it out, he suggested.
"I'm in the middle," he said. "I'm just disappointed in the call. There must have been a reason but I haven't been given one."Report Typo/Error

Legend and Glossary
In The Tactics Board there are a lot of graphics used to describe the formation and movement of players during the game. In order to make it easy for you to understand what the graphics mean, we are providing you with the legend to understand the formation graphics and all the items shown in the StatsZone pictures. In the formation graphics, players are shown in their average position with lines indicating where they move on the attack and where they move on defense. Players are shown across the whole pitch, not just in their own half. It makes it easier to understand how the teams line up against each other, and where the space is for the teams to exploit. If there are major formation or personnel changes, it will often be reflected in a second graphic.
The Tactics Board uses FourFourTwo's StatsZone to highlight specific players or events in the game. Many people use this app already, but we're including the legend for this app for those of you who don't use this app. Hopefully this will make it easier to understand on the graphics, to see the offensive and defensive contributions that players are making to the game.
This website will help you understand some of the more detailed and niche phrases that are used in 'The Tactics Board'. If you need help with more basic football positions, try looking here for a good place to start. This page will include some phrases that are specific to to certain regions, such as Italy, South America, and France. I try to keep things fairly simple, but there are some positions in other areas that the British have not come up with something similar. If that's the case, I'll use the foreign phrase for it so this is a good place to find it.
Used to describe any player whose main job is attacking – such as out-and-out strikers, withdrawn strikers, trequartistas, wingers, and poachers.
+An outfield player stopping a shot on target
+An alternate for defensive line. A high block means pressing with a high defensive line, and a low block means sitting deep. Sitting in between is called a medium block
Box-to-Box Midfielder
Refers to the most dynamic all-round/complete midfielders, who provide both defensive and attacking prowess. Increasingly rare, as most midfielders are now attacking midfielders or defending midfielders.
This refers to the two widest players in a midfield diamond, between the holding midfielder and the attacking midfielder. Means 'Shuttlers', to link the defense with the attack.
Refers to the defensive system made famous in the 1960s by the Internationale Milan squad of Helenio Herrera. The system utilizes a very defensive sweeper playing behind a back four of defenders playing a man-marking system. Incorrectly used now to refer to a team utilizing overly defensive tactics, especially Italian clubs.
Central Winger
A winger playing behind the lone forward in a 4-2-3-1 who drifts to the flanks. Mesut Ozil for Real Madrid is an excellent example.
In the 1950s, it described the central midfield player in the 2-3-5 shape. It is frequently used now in the United Kingdom as a synonym for 'Center-back'. On this site, center-half will occasionally be used to refer to a holding midfielder. A modern center-half is often described as a holding midfielder who drops into the backline from the midfield, similar to Sergio Busquets for Barcelona.
The space between the center-backs and full-backs in a back four defense.
Christmas Tree formation
Refers to a 4-3-2-1.
Deep-Lying Playmaker
A midfielder who sets up the attack from a withdrawn position. He spreads the play and dictates the game from deeper in the midfield. Despite their deep role in the midfield, the player is not classed as a defensive midfielder as tackling and defense are not their main function and they are often supported by a holding midfielder.
Deep-lying playmakers are typically given a moderate amount of defensive responsibilities, but are granted freedom positionally to dictate the play as it evolves, as well as a license to attempt long riskier balls, to the forwards. Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes are good examples of deep-lying playmakers.
Defensive Line
A defensive unit that pushes up the field from their own goal is described as a High Defensive Line. A defensive unit that stays close to their own goal is described as a deep defensive line.
Double Pivot
The use of two holding midfielders, who take turns to move forward rather than one having the job of sitting deep while the other is responsible to move forward. Central midfielders Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes played this role well in Manchester United 4-4-1-1 in early 2012.
A South American term similar to the Italian trequartista.
False Nine
An unconventional lone striker who drops deep into the midfield. Lionel Messi plays this role for Barcelona.
The most advanced line of players on the pitch.
Holding Midfielder
A defensive midfielder, often tasked with screening in front of the center-backs.
From touchline to touchline, also "Lateral".
Wingers who move into a central position when their side has the ball. James Milner and Samir Nasri played this role in Manchester City's 6-1 defeat of United at Old Trafford in 2011.
Inverted Wingers
A winger who plays on the opposite side of his strong foot. A right-footed winger playing on the left wing, or vice-versa. These players prefer to cut inside to their strong foot, rather than playing along the touchline.
Moving across the pitch, from touchline to touchline.
See also 'Sweeper'
Man-to-Man Marking
Man-to-man marking, or man marking, is a defensive strategy where defenders are assigned a specific opposition player to mark rather than covering an area of the pitch.
A similar role to a holding midfielder, but not as deep a typical holding midfielder and definitely not as deep as a modern center-half. Michael Carrick is a good example. A defensive minded center midfielder, but is more of an all-action player rather than just a simple defensive holding midfielder.
A player on the wing who doesn't belong there. Sometimes refers to a central midfielder played out wide, or more often a striker played out on the wing.
Nine and a half
Often playing as a second striker. A cross between an out and out goal scorer and a number 10 'trequartista'. He is neither purely a goal poacher, nor a creator. Wayne Rooney played this role for Manchester United for most of 2011/2012 season.
Number 10
See "Trequartista"
Outside left or right
Referred to the wide forwards in a 2-3-5 formation. Once teams switched to 4-4-2, this term died as these players became wide midfielders. With many sides playing a 3 man attack, similar to 4-3-3, the two wide forwards who support the central strikers can be called an Outside Left or Outside Right.
Pushing up the field on defense to deny the opposition space and time on the ball.
Prima Punta
Out and out striker. Main job is to score goals but are often technically limited elsewhere on the pitch.
Italian term for deep-lying playmaker. Andrea Pirlo is ideal example. Luka Modric is an example in the Premier League.
Seconda Punta
Second striker, who plays alongside a central striker but is comfortable dropping deep or to the wing.
Refers to a player who stays high up the pitch in a central position to score goals. More specific than 'Forward'
A spare man at the back, mostly common now in a three-man defense against 2 forwards. Formations are mostly drawn up with the sweeper behind the two center-backs, but they can equally be positioned in front of them as Franz Beckenbauer played for the German national team in the 1970s, being used to bring the ball out of the defense and start the attack.
The Sweeper doesn't necessarily start deeper than the two center-backs, as he would play the opposing forwards onside, but he is free (no specific man-marking responsibilities) to cover any mistakes by the center-backs. With most teams playing 1 striker up front, you could argue that one of the center-backs in a 4 man defense is taking up the role of a sweeper.
Switching the Play
Controlling possession, and moving the ball laterally from touchline to touchline in the hopes of stretching out the opposition's defense and finding defensive gaps.
The phrase used to describe the intricate passing game played by Spain and Barcelona. It depends on good passing ability from almost all outfield players to control possession.
The stage in play when a team switches from defense to attack, or attacking to defense.
Means 'Three-Quarter'. Used to describe a player who plays centrally, in the gap between the opponent's defense and midfield. This player's main role is to act as the offensive pivot of the team, to create goal-scoring opportunities for his team mates, and perhaps to score himself. This position is also known as playmaker or the Number 10.
The three forwards in a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 formation. This phrase describes several shapes, ranging from a central striker with 2 advanced wingers, or two strikers supported by a deep forward.
Up and down the pitch, from goal line to goal line.
Used to describe the wide defenders with a three-man defense. Does not refer to attacking full-backs in a four man defense. Wing-backs are usually employed in a 3-5-2, and could be considered part of the midfield, but they may also be used in a 5-3-2 formation and therefore have a more defensive role.
Wingbacks are a cross between a winger and a full-back. Wingbacks are more adventurous than fullbacks and are expected to provide width to the attack.
The stereotypical winger is fast, tricky and enjoys 'hugging' the touchline, that is, running downfield close to the touchline and delivering crosses. However, players with different attributes can thrive on the wing as well. Some wingers prefer to cut infield (as opposed to staying wide) and pose a threat as playmakers by playing diagonal passes to forwards or taking a shot at goal. Even players who are not considered quick have been successfully fielded as wingers at club and international level for their ability to create play from the flank. Occasionally wingers are given a free role to roam across the front line and are relieved of defensive responsibilities.
Zonal Marking
A defensive strategy where defenders cover an area of the pitch rather than marking a specific opponent. If an opponent moves into the area a defender is covering, the defender marks the opponent. If the opponent leaves this area, then marking the opponent becomes the responsibility of another defender.

Startup Notebook?
Dear Advanced Mathematica Users,
I have a particular notebook that I would like Mathematica to open
during startup.
In Mathematica 3.0 on MacOS 8.1, one can take the following actions in
the front end: File | Notebooks (where recently used notebooks are
found) | modify this menu | (select a particular notebook name from the
list then press) Edit | then there is a checkbox that simply allows
Mathematica to open the indicated notebook during future program start
ups. This works fine, such that upon subsequent program initiations,
the appropriate notebook is lauched, except that the usual blank default
untitled startup notebook is there (on top), ruining any sense of
elegance. How do I stop Mathematica from bringing up the blank default
untitled notebook during start up?
The above question is what I desire answered, so don't be distracted
by the following lesser observations and questions unless you are
In trying to answer the above question myself, I seached the
archives as well as I could for hints. I found two other questions
similar to mine that both went unanswered (mg5419 and mg9126). It is
curious that we all have the same Mathematica version on the same OS.
My secondary questions are: Does the Format | Option Inspector |
Global Options | File Locations | AutoloadPath setting work for
Mathematica 3.0 on MacOS? Can I place notebooks (init.m or otherwise)
in the last folder of the AutoloadPath directory and expect them to be
lauched automatically? I ask this because notebooks in such folders do
not launch for me now.

It may be true that the economy is booming and qualified labor is in short supply, but that doesn't mean managers aren't still occasionally faced with the grim task of firing employees. It's never easy, but now there's help: The Employment Roundtable, a New York City-based nonprofit consortium of business, government and think tank leaders, recently released "Letting People Go with Dignity," a report on handling employment terminations.
Today's hot labor market makes it more imperative than ever that terminations be handled in a sensitive manner, says Richard Bayer, cochair of the Employment Roundtable and COO of The Five O'Clock Club, a New York City career counseling organization that started the roundtable in December 1998. "You need to be able to recruit and retain good people, and your ability to do that is facilitated by your reputation in the marketplace," he says. When disgruntled ex-employees complain about unfair treatment, that reputation can suffer. "You also have to be concerned with the morale of the remaining workforce," Bayer adds.
The roundtable offers a number of tips for the manager doing the firing, including the following:
* Explain to the employee what went wrong. That information can make it easier for him or her to move on and leave the job behind.
* Make sure to explain how the employee's departure will be publicized.
* Let the employee return to his or her desk and share reactions with friends and staff. This allows him or her to gather some dignity and normalcy and to feel empowered, not railroaded.

Bulls Learning What It Takes to Win Big
By USF
Related Links
By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - The USF men's tennis team is on mission to become great and fun stuff like Coca-Cola, hamburgers and cookies won't be coming along for the ride.
The program took a big step in the right direction by bringing in head coach Matt Hill, an SEC veteran, and assistant Brandon Wagner, a national champion with Georgia, after last season. The duo spent the fall discovering USF's strengths and immediately started to eliminate anything that could prohibit the Bulls from reaching elite status.
"The discipline that it takes to be at that level is much higher than the average team," Hill said. "You can't drink Coke on the road and think that you'll be able to play the next day without getting dehydrated. You can't eat hamburgers the night before or cookies when the hotel gives it to you for free."
The Bulls are currently in the next phase of the journey - match discipline - and a prime teaching point came in Los Angeles late last month. The Bulls had just lost a match to BYU in the opening round of national indoor qualifying when someone said, "We almost had them."
"No, you didn't have them," Hill told the team. "You put yourself into a position to possibly win, but the decisions you make in those moments, you're going to lose a lot more than you're going to win."
The moments Hill was talking about include before and after a player competes for points.
"Tennis, you're out there for two hours, but really you're only playing 30 minutes of that," Hill said. "In between the points, when you're walking around between playing and you're sitting on your bench, that's where the match is truly played at a high level. That's foreign to some of these guys."
Hill said USF's players have been very receptive to the key information coaches are dishing out about the mental game.
"We've talked a lot about the difference between a team that is No. 25 in the country, No. 50 in the country, No. 5 in the country," Hill said. "They're getting to understand the differences between those teams and this team, and why we are where we are."
The No. 55 Bulls as a whole know the road to greatness takes time, but the lessons picked up along the way prepare players for much more than tennis.
"The great thing about an individual sport is a lot of what you learn can be applied later on - it's all on you," Hill said. "You're learning how to manage pressure, deal with adversity and have healthy disciplines that can help you in anything."
Fans can watch the Bulls continue to progress on the court Friday afternoon. USF takes on North Florida at 2 p.m. and admission is free all regular season at the USF Varsity Courts.

Would these be a good replace for my EC2's, the cables of which died recently? Nothing else I've tried has been anywhere as good :(
"If you only care about sound quality, then you can save money by looking elsewhere".....where?
Did you read the review?
"Perhaps the most compelling alternatives are the Phonak PFE 012 earphones" - http://www.trustedreviews.c...
I do hope Hugo Jobling is making his way down the Shure range and will soon be reviewing the cheapest of the SE models the SE215. I think the SE215 are one of the cheapest IEMs to be compatible with the foam tips from complyfoam.com. Which I hope give a better fit than my old Shure SE102, which are disintegrating after about a year of use.
I thought Shure's new cabling system was a big step up from their old one but I've had problems with my SE535s. If you use them while exercising, sweat makes its way into the connector and over time builds up so it sounds like you have a loose connection. Although you can clean them with some cotton wool and the supplied earwax tool, I managed to break the connector on the earbud doing so and had to get a replacement from Shure...
Suffice to say, I now have a cheapie pair of earphones for when running.
I just got my SE 215 this week and already very fond of them. But i would say the review more or less applies to the 215's aswell, if you're after sound quality go for the 425's if you want the shure feature set. I bought mine cause of the feature set and a good sound quality but not in any way super. I have to say the sound insolation is very good and the overall build quality is very good.
I think the SE215 must be the best of the SE series. I imagine that the SE535 must be the worst in sound quality (never heard it).
All these foams and no game make headphones dull.
Have the SE315's (got it through quidco for £13 on cashback) for a month now.
got it as a replacement for my cable damaged SE210, which I used for 2.5 years.
Was waiting for SE215, but my headphone broke recently before 215's due to hit the market and the god awful ipod headphone was a pain my ear.
with the cash-back diff between 215's R.R.P. and 315 was only coming up £27 didn't wait to click "buy now".
Got the clear version if you all are wondering. lol
just got my se315's have to say it was a frustraiting start as i found that the different size ear plugs provided are very difficust to get on and off and can easily be broken if to rough, but when you get the techniwue right and find the right plug for you the sound is absoloutly amazing, i amhearing things on songs i didnt know was there, the mids lows and highs are well balanced with a good bass which is great as im a drummer and will be using these for when im on stage, so frustrating start but amazing sound
I've used these o and off for over a year, and had to return them 3 times now due to poor build quality.
It's such a shame as they are such great sounding earphones and so comfortable.
They are definitely not worth the price for the quality.
Having bough these as the cheaper alternatives to the 325 series and not a believer in burn in, am quite pleased. Initially i did not like them. Thought they lacked bass. Isolation of instruments was good but did not feel the music when listening to already recorded and mastered music. However what i found these did was make me tweak my eq setting on all my devices and what i can say is these do deliver fantastic sound when the eq is right. My preference(all by bell curves - peak db at the middle of the curve) is the boost at 31-80 by 3db. Dip at 125 -400 by 1.85db,Dip at 500-1.6 b by 1.85db.Boost from 1.6 to 3.1 by 1.11db Booost 1.6-3.1 by 1.5db. Total rogue dip at 4htz by 1.56db for this freq only. Long bell curve from 5 -20 boostin by 1.56db..... all couresty of Fidelial Musc player and apples own graphic EQ......
Sounds magic (no... fecking oustanding). Everyone will have there own magic curve depending on their ear.EQ is meant to shape the sound to your preference. Dont get hung up on how they sound out of the box.They are quality headphones with fantastic capability.The isolate sounds really well. I dont record live instruments but i think they would be fantastic for that. Devices used for listening.. Focusrite Saffire pro 14, apple mac air 2013, Samsung Galaxy S with voodoo sound and Galaxy note 1. Incidentally the Galaxy note sounds magic with them which completely surprised me as i regard this as the weakest sounding item in my devices.
Excellent sound and I mean excellent but be very careful when buying these head phones as the unless the vendor is an authorised shure dealer shure will not repair and replace under it's two year warranty scheme. I purchased a pair and found a fault with the left earphone I tried to contact the vendor but got no reply, eventually the left earphone failed completely and the right side was flakey at best
I contacted shure uk and they told me as the seller was not an authorised dealer they would not honour their 2 year warranty.
Caveat emptor ...
I can confirm this as well. Always use a Shure dealer.
