Located on a tree-covered residential site in St. Louis, the Owner required retention of the 150 year plus oak and cataba trees. Sustainable civil design features re-engineered the site to be environmentally friendly with a connection to the bike trail.
Rataj-Krueger Architects, Inc. designed pier and above grade, grade beam to avoid the tree root system, while tree roots were pruned prior to excavation, and shoring allowed for limiting overdig.
The variety of the exterior materials and textures used throughout encouraged exploration of shapes and forms and patterns which complimented the character of the site. The use of elements such as clearstory windows, light tubes, operable windows, and glass block allowed natural light and ventilation, in addition to the 90% outside views as part of the LEED®'s criteria. The concrete form masonry unit system (CFMU) enabled the building to utilize the exposed stone finish, and smooth exposed for the interior, while providing a R-21 structural wall system finished on the exterior and interior.
LEED® certification distinguishes building projects that have demonstrated a commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and ability to recycle by meeting the highest performance standards while taking advantage of the environment. The key to Green Solutions in new commercial construction is the consideration of the overall building's thirty year life cycle and it's re-use. Rataj-Krueger Architects, Inc. together with Wind Engineering addressed the unique challenges and opportunities of implementing green building strategies, commercial office building and site to create sense of community.

Will someone ever I look at me that way-
Full of all the feelings and the soft
Unspoken words that lovers say?
I thought that I knew ev'ry single
Look and sweet
Reed full lyrics expression on his face,
Yet this is one that I don't recognize,
Although I've sat and studied him for hours.
But now I see how love completely occupies
A pair of' eyes...
See the way' they gaze at her,
Like slaves they follow every where she goes.
Do my eyes forget themselves
And do I ever look at him
And smile in such a way
That what I'm feeling shows?
Sometimes I have the feeling
Everybody knows...
And even though it's crazy,
Still I can't help wondering
If I'll ever live to see the day
When by some miracle of miracles,
He'll turn around
And look at me that way!

Sorry White House Petitioners, There's No Way To Secede From The United States
Poster Handle
Post Content
Not so, just accomplish the same by turning the proposition on its head.
Don't secede, expel. Or, expectorate (spit it out) if you prefer that image. Basically, throw out every blue area of every state until what is left is America.
More detail after T-day. I've gotta get back to fixing the ham. Yah, yah. Not a turkey this year. I need the variety, OK?
*******************To follow up w/ my pre-Tday post I submit the following:
Don't secede as states, at least not yet. But, accomplish the same thing in the mid term by kicking out every blue "urban area" that is for big, expensive, totalitarian (eventually) Fed government.
Think on this model: Vatican City is a sovereign state w/in the city of Rome, a capital city w/in the nation of Italy. Everybody gets along fine in the long term so long as they each mind their own business. They interact w/ each other thru international treaties; not oversight from a centralized (potentially totalitarian) body.
A similar relationship exists between Washington, D.C. and the rest of the USA. That District is outside any state – even tho it was cobbled together from bits of states. They have their own local government. They do not have any Senate representation and only a non-voting position in the House. For any national involvement they depend entirely upon Congress.
Apply those models to each red state.
To start, surely there is more than one predominantly red state that contains w/in it a modest, blue urban area. The test case. Convene a state assembly whose goal is to expel that area from the rest of the state. I sincerely doubt that there is any Fed constitutional provision that constrains what a state can do w/in its own borders so long as what they do doesn't violate any existing Fed law. After all, when the state joined up many of those urban areas probably didn't even exist. As to what happens to the expelled area, don't care what happens to it, not my problem. Eventually, it will probably become another District w/in the US Fed – like Washington, D.C. Still US citizens. Still paying Fed taxes. But, nothing but neighbors to the enclosing reformed state. Oh, and they are not being disenfranchised. They don't pay state taxes so they don't need state representation.
The state convention will not officially consider a secession from the US. In fact, it ought to formally forbid any such open discussion so no Fed marshals show up to arrest seditionists. Each successive state convention will refine the process – learning from each that preceded it. During this process, the relationship w/ all of the other 49 states will remain the same, as will the relationship w/ the Fed.
Keep in mind what is going on between all those new Districts and the "remaining" states (i.e., don't forget, until a total breakup occurs we are all 50 states and some Districts). Urban centers produce little food. They will have to import it from the surrounding red areas. Ditto for energy. As to jobs, they can either let nearby "ferriners" commute in to do the non-industrial paper-pushing that is all urban centers do nowadays or they can do w/out that tax base, too. They can fuss and piss about all they want. But, unless they are willing to relive the Berlin airlift they will have to grow up right quick and get along w/ their new neighbors in a new way. How they do that can be a detailed sidebar discussion at each successive convention.

Pakistan cricket is in trouble again after the loss to New Zealand in the semifinal of ICC Champions Trophy 2009.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sacked Captain Younus Khan and Coach Intikhab Alam over the match-fixing allegations. It is said that Pakistani team fixed the matches against Australia and New Zealand.
In the semifinal against New Zealand, Younus Khan dropped a sitter, offered by Grant Elliot, while Pakistan desperately needed a wicket at that point. Elliott was then batting on 42. He later went on to score an unbeaten 75 to take New Zealand into final.
Watch Video:
According to a report in the Ahmedabad Mirror, the International Cricket Council's (ICC) anti-corruption unit would be having a good look at the Pakistan vs New Zealand match of October 3.
CT 2009 | Fixtures | Points | Top10 (R/W)
Younis had admitted that his fractured finger was the reason the catch was dropped, but he said he wasn't worried about anything - perhaps hinting at the fact that reactions in his home country have always been extreme.

However, though the paper said that officials are guarded in their reaction at this stage, the tapes of the Pakistan-New Zealand semi-final match are on their way to the anti-corruption unit offices.

An integrated development environment ("IDE") is typically used to develop software in a "target" computer system. The IDE includes one or more "host" installations which may be connected to the target system in order to load the developed software into the target system and monitor its execution. A number of alternatives exist for connecting the target system to the host, but usually the connection is either an Ethernet or serial link.
In a development system, the host is typically equipped with large amounts of RAM and disk space, backup media, printers, and other peripherals. In contrast, the target system typically has limited resources (small amounts of RAM, no disk, no display, etc.), and perhaps some small amount of additional resources for testing and debugging. The target may include no more than a processor with on-chip RAM and a serial input/output channel. The target's processor may be of various kinds including the PowerPC� processor manufactured by IBM Corp. or the Pentium� II manufactured by Intel Corp. The target may also include an operating system, such as VxWorks� from Wind River Systems, Inc., which may be used to control the allocation and usage of the target's resources.
The IDE may include a number of "tools" that allow a software developer to easily develop software for the target system and monitor the generation of the developed software on the target system. One such tool may be an "object browser" which can be conveniently used to monitor the state of the target system while developed applications are executing. The object browser can be used to display information about "objects" in the system, for example, information about objects of the operating system executing on the target. These objects may include tasks, semaphores, message-queues, memory-partitions, watchdogs, etc. Each object also has attributes which are the properties of the object. For example, a semaphore (an object) may have as attributes its name, identification number, and state (e.g., whether the semaphore is taken). The attributes of an object may be static (i.e., determining the object attribute does not require access to the target system) or dynamic (i.e., determining the object attribute does require access to the target system). The static attributes of the object may include, among others, a string describing the type of object (e.g., for the semaphore, the string may be "Semaphore"). The dynamic attributes may include, among others, the name of the object, the object's identification number, and the state of the object.
In a host-target development environment, in order for the host to gather information about the objects running on the target, the host generally has one or more files describing the target system's implementation of the object and this description file is specific to the implementation of the object by the operating system running on the target system. For example, the description files can list offsets to internal fields within each object's data structure, allowing the tools on the host to locate information concerning the object running on the target system. Information concerning the object is then retrieved from the target system using a standard communication protocol such as a Gopher program. The Gopher program describes a sequence of memory reads which results in a sequence of data to be returned to the calling host.
This scheme just described for gathering information is unwieldy in practice and not easily scalable. It is expensive to extend and maintain because introducing a new object requires updating many architecture specific files.
A method and system for retrieving and presenting data from a target system, the method includes retrieving object data from the target system for an object selected by a client, the retrieval performed by using one of the data retrieval programs corresponding to the target system. The method also includes providing the object data and a presentation format to the client, the object data and the presentation format are based upon one of the object description files corresponding to the object selected by the client.
According to the present invention, a flexible object model may be implemented, for example, in the IDE employing host and target systems. The flexible object model allows information about objects running on the target to be gathered independently of a target's architecture (i.e., the operating system running on the target and the processor architecture of the target). The flexible object model has the following benefits:
In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, eXtensible Markup Language ("XML") is used to describe the publicly accessible information of an object as well as the method by which that information can be accessed from the object and used in the IDE. XML is referred to as a "metalanguage", or a language for describing other languages. An XML file is made up of XML elements, each of which consists of a start tag (e.g., <title>), an end tag (e.g., </title>), and the information between the two tags (referred to as the content). Like Hypertext Markup Language ("HTML"), an XML document holds text annotated by tags. However, unlike HTML, XML allows an unlimited set of tags, each indicating not how something should look, but what something means. Rather than describing the order and fashion in which the data should be displayed, the tags in XML indicate what each item of data means. Detailed information on the XML standard is provided in: "Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0", W3C Recommendation 10-Feb.-1998, REC-xml-19980210, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.
XML allows the host to carry architecture-generic descriptions of objects, each object having an XML file. This architecture-generic description would define the object data to be returned from the target and also define its presentation to the client. XML is thus suited for implementing the exemplary embodiment because it allows for architecture-generic descriptions of how to access and use data pertaining to objects.
The use of XML as the object description language would have the following benefits:
Referring to the figures in which like numerals indicate like elements,
The host 10 may comprise a computing environment having various well-known components and systems (for example, a processor, a memory system, a display, and user input devices such as a keyboard and mouse). The host 10 may include an operating system (e.g., Unix, Windows, Linux, etc.) which controls the execution of applications on the host 10.
The target 20 may comprise a second computing environment which, for example, is intended to operate apart from the host 10. The processor of the target 20, for example, may be an Intel Pentium� II processor or an IBM PowerPC� processor. The target 20 may include fewer resources than the host 10, thus making it advantageous to perform software development on the host 10 prior to implementation in the target 20. The target 20 may include an operating system 150 which controls the execution of applications and other objects running on the target 20. The operating system 150, along with user applications running on the target 20, uses various kernel objects ("objects") such as semaphores and tasks.
The host 10 includes a development system 15 to be used in developing software for the target 20. Included in the development system 15 is at least one client 105, which may be one of a number of known development tools (e.g., the object browser, debugger, etc.). During operation, the client 105 may require information about objects running on the target 20. In order to monitor the operations of objects on the target 20, an application programming interface ("API") 110 is provided giving the client 105 access to an object interface ("OI") 115 and which allows the client 105 to access information (e.g., attributes) about the objects running on the target 20. The API 110 thus allows development tools such as the object browser, debugger, command line shell, etc. to communicate with the OI 115.
The OI 115 is a program that allows the client 105 to obtain information about objects running on the target 20 independently of the target's architecture (which is described below) or its operating system. The OI 115 also includes an XML interpreter which is used to read XML files and provide access to their content and structure.
The development system 15 also includes a target interface ("TI") 120 which is used by the OI 115 to access information about the objects running on the target 20. The TI 120 includes the Gopher standard protocol which is used to gather information about an object running on the target 20.
The development system 15 further includes an object database containing descriptions of objects for each known operating system and also data retrieval programs for various target processor architectures. In the first exemplary embodiment, the object database is an XML object database 130 and the object descriptions for each known operating system are implemented using XML. Also, in the first exemplary embodiment, Gopher programs, corresponding to recognized target processor architectures, are the data retrieval programs. However, in other embodiments, the object descriptions may be implemented using other languages and other programs may be used to retrieve data from the target 20. The XML object database 130 may be accessed by the OI 115 in order to process requests by the client 105 for information about an object running on the target 20.
In step 221, the client 105 "enumerates" all the objects supported by the OI 115. Enumerating the objects means to determine all the static attributes of the known objects, i.e., those attributes which do not require access to the target 20. The client 105 is provided enumeration information (i.e., information about the static attributes of the object) by the OI 115. The OI 115 obtains the enumeration information solely by using the XML object descriptions in the XML object database 130: there is one XML object description per object supported. No reference is made to the target 20 via the TI 120 for enumeration of the supported objects. The attributes of each object are defined in the XML object database 130 and may include, among others, the name of the object, the standard icon, the state, label, whether the object is displayable, how data displayed, etc.
In step 227, the client 105 requests further details about an object selected by the user. In step 230, the client 105 sends a reference to the object selected to the OI 115 via the API 110. In step 233, the OI 115 accesses the XML object database 130 to retrieve the XML object description corresponding to the selected object. The OI 115 also retrieves from the XML object database 130 the Gopher program corresponding to the processor of the target 20. A Gopher program may exist for each of the many possible target processor architectures if such a program is required—an advantage of this embodiment of the present invention is that a Gopher program can be shared by different target processor architectures if they use the same memory layout for software objects.
In step 239, the OI 115 accesses the target 20 using a data retrieval method to collect data from the target 20. In one embodiment, the data retrieval method is passing the Gopher program from the OI 115 through the TI 120 to the target 20 in order for the OI 115 to gather data about the selected object. The returned data is referred to as a "Gopher tape." In step 242, the OI 115 decodes the data returned from the target 20 based on the XML object description retrieved from the XML object database 130. In step 245, the OI 115 sends the decoded data to the client 105 along with a presentation format. The presentation format is also based on the XML object description and instructs the client 105 on how to display the decoded data. The decoded data and the presentation format allow the client 105 to be data driven. The decoded data for the selected object is returned to the client 105 as a set of object attributes. In step 248, the client 105 uses the set of object attributes which was returned as a result of the original request. Such use of the object attributes can be, for example, in the case of the object browser, to display the object's attributes in a format suitable for a graphical user interface ("GUI").
The previous embodiment shows how the OI 115 can be used to retrieve information about objects running on the target. In a second exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, the OI 115 can be used by a specific development tool—an object browser—to display information about objects running on a specific target. In this example, the processor of the target 20 is the PowerPC� processor, and the operating system 150 of the target 20 is VxWorks�. In other alternative embodiments, the OI 115 may be used by other development tools such as a debugger (e.g., the debugger would need to enumerate tasks in order to attach to one of them), and a command line shell (e.g., the shell may provide system information such as a snapshot of the tasks running on the target).
The following example illustrates the use of the exemplary OI 115 and the XML object database 130 by the object browser to obtain information (i.e., attributes) about objects running on the target. Referring again to
In step 215, the OI 115 loads the XML object descriptions for VxWorks� from the XML object database 130. In step 221, the object browser enumerates all object types supported by the OI 115 using the XML object descriptions obtained from the XML object database 130. In step 227, the object browser requests further details on a particular object selected by the user of the object browser. In step 230, the object browser sends the object selected to the OI 115 via the API 110.
In step 233, the OI 115, based on the object selected, retrieves the corresponding XML object description from the XML object database 130. The OI 115 also retrieves from the XML object database 130 the Gopher program corresponding to the PowerPC� processor in order to retrieve the attributes of the selected object running on the target 20. In step 239, the OI 115 accesses the target 20 to retrieve the attributes of the selected object running on the target 20 using the Gopher program by sending the Gopher program through the TI 120 to the target 20.
In step 242, the OI 115 decodes the data returned from the target 20 based on the XML object description retrieved from the XML object database 130. In step 245, the OI 115 sends the decoded data (i.e., object attributes) to the object browser along with the presentation format. In step 248, the object browser displays the object attributes in the format as specified by the presentation format.
The third and fourth lines of
The "objTypeAttributes" in
Referring to
In a fourth embodiment of the present invention, data extraction routines are used rather than the Gopher program to retrieve object data from the target 20.
Included in a data extraction development system 25 is an object description module 155 which contains descriptions of each of the objects running on the target 20. In order for the object descriptions to be architecture-generic, they are implemented using XML. The object description module 155 contains XML code for describing each of the object's public attributes. The object description module 155 also contains data extraction routines; each object description specifies a data extraction routine for that object. Different data extraction routines may exist for each target processor architecture supported by the data extraction development system 25 and the data extraction routines may be pre-compiled using the appropriate compiler.
The data extraction routine is downloaded to the target 20 via the TI 120 in order to assemble data about the selected object on the target 20 in the format described in the XML object description found in the object description module 155. In an alternative embodiment, the data extraction routine already resides on target 120 and therefore does not need to be downloaded. The data extraction routine assembles the data about the selected object on the target 20 into a data packet and places it in a target buffer.
In step 515, the client 105 selects an object for which to obtain information and this selection is sent to the OI 115 via the API 110. In the case of the object browser, the object whose public attributes are to be displayed is selected by a user. In step 520, the object description for the selected object is fetched from the object description module 155. In step 525, the data extraction routine corresponding to the processor architecture of the target 20 is fetched from the object description module 155.
In step 535, the compiled data extraction routine is sent to the target 20 via the TI 120. In step 540, the data extraction routine assembles the requested data for the selected object and places this data into a data packet and puts this data packet into a target buffer. In step 550, the OI 115 uses the object description, found earlier in the object description module 155, in order to interpret the retrieved data. The OI 115 formats the requested data by matching it with the object description found in the object description module 155. In step 555, the OI 115 sends the decoded data to the client 105. In the case that the client 105 is the object browser, the decoded data (the object information) can be displayed to the user.
A <data> element defines the data assembled for use by the object browser. The <data> element includes the definition of the data items which will be assembled by the target 20 and downloaded to the host 10 in a data packet. The host 10 uses <dataItem> definitions in the <data> element to decode this data packet. For each <dataItem>, information is provided to allow the host 10 to extract the data from the data packet and to know how to display it in the object browser. A "type" attribute specifies the number of bytes in the data item and how it should be interpreted. A "idref" attribute is an internal name for the dataItem. A "text" attribute is the label to be used in the object browser for the dataItem. A "format" attribute is a C-style format stating how the data should be displayed by the client. A "display" attribute indicates whether the dataItem is displayed; if display is set to "always" then the dataItem is always displayed, if display is set to "optional" then the user can elect to display the dataItem, and if display is set to "never" then the dataItem is never displayed.
In the preceding specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereunto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims that follow. The specification and drawings are accordingly to be regarded in an illustrative rather than restrictive sense.

Young trio leads Thunder to second win in three gamesJan 7, 2009 - 5:25 AM OKLAHOMA CITY (Ticker) -- As if the 2008-09 season hadn't been difficult enough for the Oklahoma City Thunder, this time they couldn't even hold on to a 23-point, second-half lead. Thankfully for them, they were able to pull it out anyway.
The Thunder picked up their fifth win of the season - and second in three games - on Tuesday night, holding off the New York Knicks for a 107-99 triumph.
It didn't come easily. Then again, nothing has for Oklahoma City this season.
"This game is why I love this team," Thunder interim head coach Scott Brooks said. "They battle, they fight every quarter of every game. We had a big lead and we gave it up, but we battled back and took a close game and closed it out."
The Thunder were in cruise control in the third quarter, as the "22-and-under" trio of Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook was regularly taking advantage of a soft and out-of-step New York defense.
Green - who finished with 27 points and seven boards - connected from 3-point range just over four minutes into the period, extending the Thunder's advantage to 75-52, the team's largest lead of the season.
"We had a ton of energy early," Green said. "We came out aggressive and they really didn't match us in energy. We took it to New York."
But the Knicks' offense - a combustible unit that has had flashes of brilliance and ineptitude in equal measure over the last month - hit its stride over the last five minutes of the period. Chris Duhon buried back-to-back 3-pointers to get things started and Al Harrington buried three in a row in a 63-second span to cut the team's deficit to 89-75.
"Chris drove the ball and they collapsed down on him in the lane a lot," Harrington said. "Three possessions in a row it was the same thing - Chris drives, kicks it out to me for a three, and it was really working."
Harrington's layup early in the fourth sparked a 12-2 surge that pulled the Knicks to within two at 93-91.
"We have to hold ourselves more accountable and stay focused by keeping on each other and make sure we are still doing our jobs," Green said. "When you are up that big, you tend to relax a little bit, but we needed to buckle down and get in each other's faces and challenge each other to get the stops we needed."
Durant answered with a pair of foul shots and a short jumper, but New York wouldn't go away.
With exactly a minute left, the Knicks pulled back to within three on Nate Robinson's two free throws. But they fell asleep on the defensive end just 19 seconds later, leaving Desmond Mason wide open for a back-breaking layup that extended Oklahoma City's edge to five.
"We forced some turnovers, got some stops," Harrington said. "We started to chip away at that lead, but we couldn't get the stops we needed at the end or hit shots at the end."
The Thunder were able to hold on from there, as New York misfired twice from long range in the final 23 seconds.
"We fought," Durant said. "They played hard and put us on our heels, but for really the first time this season we were able to play our way out of it. This was a test for us tonight, but we stopped the bleeding in time."
Durant posted 27 points and 12 boards, while Westbrook added 22, six and nine assists for the Thunder.
Harrington scored 21 points off the bench to pace the Knicks, who shot 40 percent (35-of-88) while allowing the lowly Thunder to connect at a 53-percent clip (39-of-74). It was an oddly lethargic performance from a team that just came off a huge win over the reigning champion Boston Celtics two nights prior.
"If we would have played the way we did Sunday, we would have won by 30. But for some reason, we didn't," Harrington said. "We need to find out what it is that motivates us to play hard. What we did the other night was Knick basketball. But for whatever reason it wasn't there tonight."

Tulane quarterback Tanner Lee injured his right shoulder midway through Saturday's 31-6 loss to Rutgers, forcing the Green Wave to call upon Devin Powell.
It's the second time this season Lee has been hurt in a game.
After piecing together a 70-yard drive that ended without points following a 15-yard penalty and a sack, Lee walked to the locker room under his own power.
The next time he appeared on the sideline, he was without pads or a helmet.
In his place, Powell completed 6 of 15 passes for 53 yards but failed the move the Green Wave beyond midfield in the second half.
Third-stringer Nick Montana came in for Tulane's final possession, completing all five passes for 18 yards against a lineup of Rutgers reserves.
Lee's status for Tulane's Oct. 11 matchup against Connecticut is still in question, and the severity of his injury is still unknown. However, he left High Point Solutions Stadium without a sling on his shoulder.
"We are going to look at both of them (Montana and Powell), and if Tanner isn't back, then we will see who does the best," Tulane coach Curtis Johnson said. "It's perfect for the off week. We can test both of them and we can see who is going to be in."
Doubting Doss
Tulane cornerback Lorenzo Doss isn't used to seeing much action on his side of the field.
A year after he led the country in interception return yards, most opposing quarterbacks have avoided Doss' side of the field. Rutgers did not.
On its opening drive of the game, Rutgers successfully threw twice at Doss. Gary Nova connected with Desmon Peoples for 17 yards to get into Tulane territory, then lofted a touchdown pass over Doss' outstretched arms in the corner of the end zone.
Facing third down deep in his own territory, Nova threw at Doss again, this time off of play-action. The cornerback couldn't catch up to Andrew Turlizzi, who went 93 yards to extend the lead to 21-0.
Nova finished the first half completing all nine of his passes, racking up 193 passing yards and three touchdowns.
"I'm happy they went at Doss," junior safety Sam Scofield said. "I hope more teams do, because he's going to make plays more times than not. We just had some plays as a secondary today that weren't like us, and we can't make those mistakes."
Doss made a statement of his own in the third quarter, short-circuiting a prolonged Rugers drive by nabbing Nova's pass on an out route for an interception at Tulane's 24-yard line.
"You want Doss to play just a little bit better," Johnson said. "He managed to get one pick, but he really didn't play as well as we wanted him to."
Not so special
Tulane's much-maligned kicking game was better Saturday but far from perfect.
Kicker Andrew DiRocco, who pushed Tulane's extra-point attempt wide and then did the same on a 36-yard field-goal attempt at the end of the first half, squashed the Green Wave momentum twice.
DiRocco has missed four of his first five field goals of the season, none of which were longer than 36 yards. The missed extra point was his third of the season.
Outside of DiRocco's misses, the rest of Tulane's kicking was significantly improved from last week's debacle at Duke. Peter Picerelli punted well throughout the game, and deep-snapper Matt Marfisi, who is still subbing in for an injured Mike Lizanich, did not make a costly mistake.
"You have a true freshman coming in and trying to kick, and I think he got a little bit nervous and a little bit of stagefright," Johnson said. "He kicks an extra point and doesn't make that. He hit the goal post on another. We just have to get him practicing and playing better."
Sagging streaks
Tulane hasn't won a game outside of Louisiana since Sept. 17, 2011, when it beat UAB under former coach Bob Toledo. The Green Wave is 0-11 under Johnson outside of the state.
The picture doesn't look much better when the state is included, either. Tulane has lost eight of its past nine games against FBS competition since racing out to a 6-2 start in 2013.

A bit of a post mortem of observations on Mami and some new observations.
Mami protected Kyubey and the others for the time she knew them.
Mami tried to be diplomatic toward Homura.
Mami did not attack Homura despite warning Homura several times.
Mami warned Sayaka and Madoka against making a hasty decision about becoming MGs.
Mami was elated that Madoka wanted to be a MG like her.
Kyubey left Sayaka and Madoka on the rooftop to seek someone who "needed" to form a contract with him.
Kyubey appears when Sayaka was at an emotional low despite saying he was going elsewhere.
Kyubey advertised a MG vacancy when Mami died, but did not advertise the position was filled.
Homura has known of/seen many MGs die.
Homura reinforces the concept of the "cost" of becoming a MG when she speaks to Madoka.
Homura was not in the barrier (?) when Madoka was in danger. (This may have been because she saw Sayaka go in and judged her to able to finish off the witch.)
To go with this, some interpretations:
If more magical girls was a good thing, there wouldn't be concepts like MGs having their own "territory" unless some hunt in packs. The city they live in seems to be a desireable place to find witches, but Mami was the only MG there at the start of the story. Mami may have been strong enough to chase off other MGs like Ryoko since Ryoko seemed to have known Mami. Mami and Homura probably did not clash over Mami's territory because Mami seemed to have a forgiving disposition and Homura never initiated hostilities against Mami, Sayaka, or Madoka.
Ryoko's appearance suggests to me MGs seem to be free to roam. This may suggest a cost that affects their families. Perhaps being a MG or merely being chosen by Kyubey attracts witches to them, eventually destroying the people they are most connected to in the world. Seeing Ryoko's disposition, however, she may just be like a bandit who left home and used her powers to provide for herself.
Going back to system analysis, I'm starting to think it doesn't matter of Kyubey needs to be able to make witches to be an immoral being. Creating an MG essentially grants one party a wish and a large amount of power, as long as they fight witches till their dying breath. Being an MG does not necessitate a moral existence, as Ryoko will probably demonstrate. Corollary to this is the cost of the wish--the contract spend the rest of their lives as MGs who fight thankless battles and die in paper cutout worlds, leaving nothing behind. MGs must fight witches to restore their Soul Gems. Past this, there is no restriction on if they use their powers to kill/harm people or save them from being killed/harmed--they only need to worry about how much that depletes their Soul Gem, which can be restored by hunting witches' Grief Seeds. Building on Homura's experience of knowing many MGs who have died, you can probably think of MGs being "dead" after they make their contract as they seem invariably destined to die. Along this vein, I see Kyubey as a hateful little creature who goes around signing girls' lives away for a wish which he can grant at what seems to be no cost to himself, and the people he contracts have no moral obligations to fulfill.
Slow night, huh?
Homura's been dead set against Madoka becoming a MG, and Kyubey sees great potential in Madoka. I don't think Homura's trying to cull competition stronger than her, but her focus on Madoka even as Sayaka becomes a MG probably ties into some witch mechanic--either strong MGs attract strong witches or MGs become witches with proportional strength (and appropriate collateral damage), so Homura does not want a witch with the kind of potential power that Madoka has to appear. Before someone jumps on this as misreading cues about some personal relationship either from a future or a past, I am going about this from the "they never knew each other" perspective because I find it hard to rationalize either sort of timeline without considerable timeskip details to trip out on.

Anyone had the idea that Homura might have had been a cat?
That she used to be Madoka's pet kitty, and somehow transformed into a MG.
What cat? This cat from OP:
Things that I think are in favor of this idea:
1. Homura isn't very good at communicating with others. Well, if she isn't a human at first place..
2. Personality-wise I think she is kind of cat-ish, too. She only cares about Madoka, but pays, I would say, very little attention to Sayaka, Madoka's best friend.
3. She also has the kind of "I am proud and good of being just myself" atitude that one might sometimes get from cats..(yeah I know I am somehow sterotyping cats, but anyways).
4. OP makes it seem like the cat is Madoka's final and best friend. Seems like a suitable position for Homura to me.
5. Try image Homura with nekomimi!!!
I know this is a wild guess, but oh well..

I would actually raise a my extension to the conundrum, and that is one Gen could use instead of the repetition of this cycle.
Technically, I agree with Mentar that Madoka will become a Mahou Shoujo and with that everyone else would be wished into normal lives, but given that the story writer's background, what is more likely to happen from my perspective would be far more bitter, in the sense that having this reset does not prevent Homura, Mami and others from tragedy at all. In fact, what I envision is that Madoka will her friends suffering, if not dead, after Madoka resolved to prevent tragedies by being a MG and wished the reset to happen. Triumphs she will have, but she will have them with collateral damage all around.
She will find happiness and solace, but those will be fleeting.
I am of the camp that unless Madoka realizes that she cannot really give salvation, even if her intentions are just, in being a "true magical girl", she won't find any closure. In short, I seriously question if Urobuchi Gen would come to think that one decides to shoulder the weight of the world at their will will necessary simply succeed.
I do not know however if Gen would actually pen Madoka realizing her own limits yet still act in the face of such grim realities. It would even to questionable for me as to whether or not if Madoka would actually find satisfaction just in doing all that she can. Worst of all, I cannot say for certain that Madoka will bear to live on and come to such realization...
If I were to develop how others might view of Madoka's good intentions if they've gotten wind of how it came into being, it shall be as thus:

Of course the question becomes what Kyubey actually gets out of this entire drama if he really doesn't care what method the girls use to kill witches. His comments at the rooftop before claiming to say goodbye to them is a highly suggestive, if not manipulative, statement as if to entice them to make the pact in light of Mami's death. The bigger question becomes what his stake in all of this is if perhaps he only sees MGs as expendable tool for some result, a result that he would gladly grant even seemingly impossible wishes to obtain.
It must be something gigantic and enormous akin to, say, the Holy Grail from Fate/Stay Night that any wish is granted by sheer power it possesses.

In reply to Decagon and MeoTwister5, I think that the matter of what Kyubey gets out of this and what price he pays is not something we can realistically speculate. We just know too little of him. There is not sufficient information for us to even paint a profile of him.
About the part of what Madoka possesses, I have two assumptions.
The first being that it is not so much in the significance of Madoka's considerable power, but in that of Mephistopheles' wager with God about corrupting Faust Madoka.
The second being that Madoka possesses either virtues or tangible power that would redeem so many. Virtue wise, we can see her innocence and her sensitivities to others, but I feel there's something more...

Btw, did anyone else noticed that, on episode 4, right before Madoka threw the bucket through the window and it broke, a glass cracking was shown? Like she was destroying the witch's labyrinth? Could this be relevant?

Well it might simply be that Kyubey is an agent, such as what Mephistopheles is as Lucifer's agent in the older versions of the legend, so in that sense his reasons don't really matter as much as his overlord's.
As for what she possesses:
For the first well it doesn't seem to look like Kyubey has a bet that needs settling. To Kyubey's Meph, then the parallel God in this relationship might even be Homura who tries to keep Madoka from falling into his vicious MG cycle of death. Of course assuming Madoka falls into the cycle, will we get a Salvation end or a Hellfire end?
For the second it does sort of remind me of say one of those old moral tales where God and Satan duke it out for the fate of humanity using one single person as the battleground, as the rise or fall of this selected person becomes the basis of whether humanity as a whole is saved or doomed.

Some key points were raised in Episode 4 that I think helps create a clearer picture of the world of Madoka, and of its key characters.
1) Homura has seen a lot of magical girls die. This means that either she's been a magical girl for a considerable length of time (likely at least several years) or that magical girls get killed with a great deal of frequency (at least one or two a week), or both. If she's been a magical girl for a considerable length of time, that could mean that either she wished for eternal youth, or that magical girls don't age naturally in Madoka's universe.
2) Homura revealed enough about herself in Episode 4 to more or less confirm that she is a good-natured (albeit somewhat socially awkward) person who wants to save lives. However, Homura also demonstrated back in Episode 1 that she's willing to kill to protect the people that she cares about. As such, we can safely conclude, I think, that if there was a powerful being out there that Homura knew was evil and a serious threat to innocent people, she'd want to kill him. With this in mind...
3) There was a window of opportunity here for Homura to try to kill Kyubey if she still wanted to. With Mami dead, with Kyubey temporarily leaving Madoka and Sayaka, and with the latest magical girl not having arrived yet, there was a period of time in which Kyubey would have been more or less defenseless against another attempt on his life by Homura. The fact that she didn't try to kill him again strongly suggests that her earlier attempt on his life was based solely on a desire to prevent him from making contact with Madoka. So, Homura does not believe or know that Kyubey is evil. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't, but it means that if he is, then Homura (and likely Mami as well, before she died) did not know about that. More on this in a bit.
4) Homura is clearly very desperate to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl. This suggests that Homura has a particular affection for Madoka, or that Homura knows what will happen if Madoka becomes a magical girl, or both. This strongly hints at time travel or time reset being part of the in-canon background for this anime. One possible alternative, though, could be that Homura wished to have the ability to see into the future, and has hence already seen what will happen if Madoka becomes a magical girl.
Kyubey is either an amoral agent concerned solely with recruiting magical girls to fight witches, or he's running a Xanatos Gambit or something close to it. He does come across as manipulative and machiavellian. If he does have a grand scheme in mind, he's carefully running it behind the scenes, as I strongly doubt that Homura or Mami had much inkling of it. Whether this latest magical girl is in on such a scheme remains to be scene.
Madoka is deathly afraid of becoming a magical girl, but she also demonstrated in Episode 4 a willingness to take big risks in order to try to save lives. Now, consider the two following points:
1. It's highly unlikely that the female lead of a magical girl show will never become a magical girl.
2. Whether or not Madoka becomes a magical girl is very important to both Kyubey (very much wants it) and Homura (very much doesn't want it).
So, Madoka will almost certainly become a magical girl, and the moment she does will be a very important plot point. I dare say that it will likely set in motion events quickly leading right into the climax of this anime. With this in mind, I do think that Madoka will become a magical girl, but I don't think that it will happen until the second half of this anime. I think that the stretch of time between Madoka becoming a magical girl, and this anime reaching its climax, will be pretty slim. Also, what will likely cause Madoka to become a magical girl is that being the only way for her to save the life of a person she cares for or likes, possibly Homura, but more likely...
There's two key foreshadowing elements concering Sayaka in this episode.
1. Her calling herself "horrible" for the choices that she would go on to make. This suggests that those choices eventually cause serious, major problems that leave Sayaka feeling very bad about herself.
2. Homura being very displeased at how Sayaka has chosen to be a magical girl. The sense you get from Homura is that Sayaka's choice to become one raises the likelihood of Madoka choosing to be one.
So, here's what I think will most likely happen: At some point, Sayaka will be in grave peril, and Madoka (still a normal girl) will be nearby watching on. The only way for Madoka to save Sayaka's life will be for her to choose to be a magical girl. Madoka will do so, and will go on to save Sayaka's life. However, this will also set in motion very dark events leading up to a chillingly clamorous conflict.
There's an outside chance that an earlier speculation of mine could be wrong, and that this could occur even next episode (since the latest magical girl has stated a desire to kill Sayaka). But I think that Sayaka will win out in that struggle, but will not come out of it unscathed. This will horrify Madoka, and start her to second guess whether or not to become a magical girl, in order for her to better help out and support Sayaka.
Sadly, I think that we might see a lot of angsting Madoka for the next few episodes, with her showing lots and lots of guilt over not being a magical girl in order to help out Sayaka.
Now, all of the above is just speculation of course. But I wanted to put it out there since I think that I'm starting to get a clearer idea of precisely where this anime is going.

I'm sorry for being lazy and not reading the previous posts, but has it been confirmed that magical girls that die become witches? or are those all still speculations? since everyone seems to be talking about it with such confidence.
also i was pretty shocked with ep3.... first time seeing a loli die after watching anime for like 5 years. i guess theres more to come/

It has been established, though, that witches are a threat to normal people. Someone has to fight them, unless you're fine with people being slaughtered. For all we know Kyube was sent to give mankind a way to fight witches, and he's confined in what he can do. Maybe he seems a little heartless at times, but it could be explained along the lines of "doing what I need to do, so that we have people to fight witches."
Because there is not enough magic to go around, Kyube can only give a limited amount at first, and thus MG's need to replenish it by taking it from witches. Thus, the sad state of affairs of MG's marking out territory and possibly fighting each other, is a byproduct. Kyube knows of this, but also knows he can't stop it. He's just part of the system, and can only continue trying to make sure there are MG's in each area to handle the witches.
It's war, and war is not always pretty, and sometimes you bend the rules or cross the lines for the greater good. Unlike some here, I don't think he's downright evil, though he may be limited in what he can say and how he can act. Or is deliberately not sharing some things, because ultimately it would do no good.
He could have told Madoka and Sayaka, "You could wish to bring Mami back to life" but instead he apologizes to them for what happens, and lets them go. If he really wanted them as MG's, that would be the easier thing to try first. Leave Madoka more conflicted, and if it that didn't work, arrange for her to get caught up in zombies later (if indeed he was behind that).
That he didn't, speaks to me of someone who isn't particularly evil, but perhaps a bit more neutral. A tool designed to give humanity a way to fight witches. He doesn't really have feelings of his own (or perhaps he'd be overloaded with grief over sending young girls to die); he's been deliberately created without them.

I'm almost there!
My predictions for the rest of the series at this point:
Between now and the final few episodes, everyone magical girl/major character except Madoka, Homura, and Kyubey will die.
Then the events at the start of episode 1 happen. Madoka finally becomes a magical girl... at the very end of the series pretty much.
Optional series of events: Madoka's wish is for everyone that died to come back to life. But either her or Homura dies in the process of killing the last witch.
Such simple speculation, isn't it?

Introducing more MGs into what was a stable system seems to only serve competition and conflict among the MGs in that territory.
You've likened MGs to soldiers to go with this war analogy, but I feel that is misplaced. Most militaries of the developed world are volunteer forces. These offer compensation to the enlisted for the duration of the term of service. Kyubey offers one wish. One wish which is supposed to be worth becoming a MG who must kill witches to cleanse their Soul Gems for the rest of one's life, a MG who is supposed to fight fight fight, and die.
The wish is an illusion of choice.
Since Kyubey appeared at Sayaka's most desperate hour despite saying he had left, I find it hard to believe he wasn't fishing for a more opportune moment.

That doesn't sound evil, just capitalistic. Offering a fair price for services rendered. So the soldier analogy still holds, volunteer or not. In fact, it works better as a volunteer basis.
It's only an illusion if you believe you have no free will.

Any advice for a pregnant mom without air conditioning? (It's July...I'm not happy.)
I'm so miserable in the heat. I spend some days at the library while my 2-year-old is in daycare, but otherwise we're at home in our very hot house.
Eeek I'm so sorry! I was 5 months pregnant in July last year and went to visit California. lol stupid idea.
Do you have any fans? Go lay in a cool bathtub, that's what I would do for sure!
Do you have any fans? Go lay in a cool bathtub, that's what I would do for sure!
Town pool! I went swimming during the hot months while i was pregnant. Also lots of fans draw the shades and drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated.
Cool rags! And keep your hair wet. Dip your feet in cool water while you're sitting if you can (that one is hard with a toddler)
I also have a spray bottle I got from the dollar tree that I use to spray my face or my hair and that helps a lot.
Check with your local social services! Some places will offer assistance for cooling and you definitely could use cooling when you have a little one and are pregnant! I'm so sorry you are miserable.
Thanks for the advice, all! This is so great to have a community of moms here to share wisdom and experience. I'm going to pick up a spray bottle tomorrow.

This is a cracking topic to contest particularly now since the quality of all the make-over shows. I have e'er been questioning as to why people, principally women, have this belief that they are expected to look a sure way in lay down to "fit in" next to social group.
We all would close to to accept that sweet saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but how echt and meaning is that construction when the human has been brainwashed, so to speak, into subscribing to the mental object that beauty is the coloured stare we see on beauty mags, in TV commercials, and even in several children's books? For many occurrence now, that emblem has consisted essentially of light women and the "white common of beauty".
I contracted to nick this interview of integrative surgery and the prod for good looks and see how it can affect a number of women in the African-American alliance. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, African-Americans kind up solitary 6% of integrative surgery patients. Why is this? Do African-American women have a more cheery same/body logo or is it that frequent cannot spend it? And for the 6% who do have surgery, to which average of visual aspect were they provoking to aspire?Post ads:

I chose to move into my query for the albescent run of the mill of beauty in 1960. I chose that twelvemonth because at the time, a TV festival was spreading that sought to sea rover fair and social programme through fantastic tales.
Two episodes of this bear out were amazingly informatory and prophetic, and they some dealt beside how social group viewed comeliness and the expectations settled on women to be "beautiful".
That variety was, The Twilight Zone.
Beauty in 1960...
Rod Serling offered us a anecdote of beauties and beasts in interval #42 entitled: Eye of the Beholder.
Here's a crisp outline of the variety I found at The Twilight Zone Guide:
Janet Tyler agitatedly awaits the outcome of her current medical science. Janet, who's impressive external body part has ready-made her an outcast, has had her 11th health facility call on - the maximal allowed by the State. If it didn't succeed, she will be transmitted to unfilmed in a community where others of her variety are lily-white. As her bandages are removed, she is discovered to be unbelievably pretty-pretty. The doctor of medicine draws spinal column in fear. As the lights come with on we see the others, their faces are crooked and unshapely. As Janet runs from her freedom crying, she runs into different of her kind, a well-favoured man titled Walter Smith. He is in complaint of an unwanted village, and he assures her that she will one of these days knowingness she belongs. He tells her to call to mind the old saying: "Beauty is in the eye of the someone."
Although the be evidence of was filmed in dark and white, we can blatantly see that Ms. Tyler is Caucasian. The doctors be to have darker skin, nevertheless, the view here was that the viewing audience empathized beside Ms. Tyler because she was the classic blonde, lean visual aspect traditionally seen in 1960's vogue magazines.
As the spectacular closes, the teller of tales speaks:
"Now the questions that locomote to noesis. Where is this point and when is it, what manner of world where on earth ugliness is the touchstone and appearance the disagreement from that norm? The statement is, it doesn't cause any unlikeness. Because the old voice communication happens to be factual. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, in this yr or a one hundred age hence, on this planet or everywhere at hand is human life, maybe out among the stars. Beauty is in the eye of the person. Lesson to be scholarly...in the Twilight Zone."
1964: The Standard Continues
Episode #137, in Season Five, is called, "Number Twelve Looks Just Like You", and was adapted by a momentaneous narrative called "The Beautiful People". In this episode, we bump into Marilyn, a teenage adult female who is just about to go through with a ceremony of walkway in her neighbourhood. This ceremony is called "The Transformation" and it requires citizens to select among respective models of bodies into which they will be changed. The e-mail present is that this society individual sees one pennon of attractiveness and that one will not be elated unless they manifestation and act honourable similar to one and all else. Opening Narration:
"Given the chance, what young at heart young woman wouldn't vivaciously interchange a flat face for a delectable one? What adult female could reject the possibleness to be beautiful? For poverty of a amended estimate, let's phone call it the year 2000. At any rate, imagine a example in the impending when field of study has developed a scheme of bounteous each one the frontage and body he dreams of. It may not come up tomorrow-but it happens now, in the Twilight Zone."

Once again, the attractive group are all light-colored and we don't see any women or men of color. What was this occurrence exasperating to describe dark women give or take a few beauty? The closing narration:
Portrait of a preadolescent woman in love-with herself. Improbable? Perhaps. But in an age of plastic surgery, natural object building, and an time of cosmetics, let us waver to say unworkable. These and else uncanny blessings may be ready and waiting in the future-which after all, is the Twilight Zone."
Beauty 40 Years Later
Some aspects of beauty standards have changed, but not untold. We do see more black models and beautiful achromatic women, but when you manifestation at the bulk of the more celebrated ones, (Tyra, Halle, Janet, Vanessa Williams, Beyonce, a few of whom have had plastic surgery, on their noses and other body environs), you can see shortest away that they have copious Caucasian attributes: small, nasal noses, lighter complexion, lighter eyes, straight, lightly red fuzz. It is uncommon that you will see a classic with extremely gloomful skin, a stretched tight afro, wide, round, larger nose, and full, sizeable jaws. Flip done any mental object of Vogue or Glamour and countenance for that logo I retributory delineated. Then watch for the early internal representation I represented.
So, are achromatic women annoying to plan to the albescent average of beauty when they desire plastic surgery?
According to Cynthia Winston, low-level faculty member of scientific discipline at Howard University in Washington, D.C., We really don't cognise considerably active how blacks are influenced. Most of the investigation focuses on perceptions connate to wrapping color. Foe peak African-Americans, perceptual experience can be formed by their environment. For example, an African-American female escalating up in an all-white locality in Nebraska may be more imagined than an African-American female elevated in inner-city Detroit to associate herself beside light metaphors of comeliness.

Now What?
I suppose, it all comes feathers to how one feels inside around themselves. But there is this viscous round of mistrust that women continuously obverse so it's ofttimes thorny to accommodate your internal voices next to the outside metaphors down at you unremarkable. Many women buy into the trends and fashions that prescript beauty. TV shows and written communication ads abound in near imagery of oversexed women. Fitness clubs act upon women to go in not so they will humiliate their jeopardy of bosom disease, but so they will seek to be exquisite on the external. No one tries to go material possession that will give a hand them on the inside.
In the end, you can facade at all of this and say that location will always be standards of allure and those who set sights on to before a live audience up those standards, and those nonexistent to receive a profit off those standards (cosmetic companies, ad agencies, sculpture agencies, mode designers, plastic surgeons, psychotherapists). The media portrays what inhabitants deprivation to see and apparently, it's sex and "beauty".

Had a doctor appt this morning and the doctor stripped my membranes. She didnt say that was what she was doing but I believe that is what she did. I am 2cm and 80% effaced, when she did the check she told she would stir things up and she rubbed her fingers in a circular motion which I believe is stripping the membranes. I have been contracting ever since now I have had 5 contractions in a row that are 5mins apart this might be it!!
What do you guys think??
