With Florida senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin in first-half foul trouble, the Gators were forced to turn to a freshman in a big spot.
With Florida senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin in first-half foul trouble, the Gators were forced to turn to a freshman in a big spot.
Freshman point guard Kasey Hill delivered in a big way for the Gators. Hill finished with eight points and seven assists off the bench in UF's 84-65 win Saturday over Kentucky at the O'Connell Center.
"I thought it was Kasey Hill's best game by far that he's had here," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "He was aggressive, he was physical, he was tough, played with a motor, played with energy."
Wilbekin's second foul came 10:18 remaining in the first half with Florida up 20-11. From that point, Hill ran the offense effectively, taking advantage of his quickness with the ball and dribble penetration to set up teammates. Hill found Patric Young for a wide-open dunk to extend UF's lead to 24-16, then had back-to-back assists on Michael Frazier II 3-point attempts to put UF ahead 39-20.
After an 0-for-4 day at the free throw line at South Carolina on Tuesday, Hill scored UF's final four points of the first half with four straight free throws. The 6-foot-1 guard from Umatilla finished the first half with four points and six assists.
"Kasey ran the team and allowed me to keep Scottie on the bench without putting him in harm's way of getting his third (foul)," Donovan said. "I think that says a lot for what Kasey did running our team."
Overall, it was another strong day for UF's bench, which outscored Kentucky's 24-13. Sophomore forward Dorian Finney-Smith had 11 points off the bench, going 3 of 4 from 3-point range. Sophomore guard DeVon Walker also drained a 3-pointer and freshman forward Chris Walker had an alley-oop dunk on a feed from Hill.
"We had a really, really good contribution from our entire team there, battling through first-half foul difficulty," Donovan said.
Attendance boost
Florida had an announced crowd of 12,604 against Kentucky for its 12th sellout in 17 home games this season.
For the season, Florida finished with an average attendance of 11,472, about a 7-percent increase from last season's average attendance of 10,677. Capacity for the O'Connell Center is 12,000.
Yeguete's special guest
Will Yeguete invited a special guest to accompany him during pregame Senior Day ceremonies. Along with his former coach at Melbourne Florida Air Academy, Aubin Goporo, Yeguete carried in his arms 4-year-old Kaedyn Ballew, a cancer patient who he befriended at Shands.
Ballew, an Ocala native, has been battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia since he was two. The cancer is in remission.
"Obviously my family couldn't be here today because they are in France," Yeguete said. "I asked his mom (Shelsie) and she said, 'OK, I don't mind doing that.' I want everyone to know who he is and for him to remember this time. I just asked him and he said, 'Yeah, I'd love to do that."
Prather Wooden finalist
Along with being honored during Senior Day ceremonies, Florida senior forward Casey Prather was named as one 15 finalists for the Wooden Award, given to the nation's top college basketball player.
Prather entered Saturday's game against Kentucky leading the Gators in scoring at 14.5 points per game. The 6-foot-6 forward from Jackson, Tenn., scored 15 against the Wildcats.
Other Wooden Award finalists include Creighton forward Doug McDermott, UCLA point guard Kyle Anderson, Michigan State guard Gary Harris, Kentucky forward Julius Randle, Connecticut guard Shabazz Napier, Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins, Michigan guard Nik Stauskas, Louisville guard Russ Smith, Arizona guard Nick Johnson, Duke forward Jabari Parker, Wichita State forward Cleanthony Early, Syracuse guard Tyler Ennis, Syracuse forward C.J. Fair and Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick.
Scouts from 14 different NBA teams were credentialed for the game. … Coming off his 37-point game against South Carolina, Florida sophomore guard Michael Frazier II finished with nine points, two assists and two steals against Kentucky on his 20th birthday. Frazier is 18 of his last 31 from 3-point range. … Florida 2014 signees Chris Chiozza (pg, Memphis, Tenn.) and Devin Robinson (sf, Church View, Va.) attended the game. Several players also attended the game on official or unofficial recruiting visits, including 2015 guard Antonio Blakely (6-4, Oak Ridge, Va.) and 2014 center Trey Mourning (6-10, Miami). Mourning is the son of former Miami Heat center Alonzo Mourning.

Do you recall the last time you had a flu shot? A flu shot is a vaccine. Vaccines work by exposing the body to particles called antigens, which trigger an immune response. When the body senses these virus bits, it kick-starts specialized immune defenses which attack the viral DNA. Once the body eliminates the invaders, it stores a "memory" of that particular invader for years, guarding against... Read More

text: The Utah Utes historically have made a late push in the recruiting process for some of their better talent and this year seems to be no exception. A day after Gaius Vaenuku, a defensive end from Euless, Texas picked the Utes, Sese Ianu, a defensive lineman from Golden West College in Huntington Beach, committed to the Utes on Monday. The 6-foot-3, 300-pound tackle was also considering Arizona State, Oregon State, Boise State and Washington State. In addition, Clarence Smith, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound running back/linebacker from Youngker H.S. in Buckeye, Ariz., also committed to the Utes. The Utes are planning to host two players this weekend in Pita Taumoepenu, a defensive end from Timpview H.S., and Kylie Fitts, a 6-4, 260-pound highly sought after defensive end who has visited Notre Dame, UCLA and USC. Adding a guy like Fitts could be the capper on a class that needed some more heft and depth on the line. - Lya Wodraska

Have you ever heard of an online computer game called Foldit? I hadn't until today when I saw this article at PCMag.com about how some gamers took about three weeks to solve a puzzle that had befuddled HIV/AIDS researchers for years.
According to the PCMag.com article, gamers used Foldit "to predict the structure of a protein called retroviral protease, an enzyme that plays a critical role in the way HIV multiplies. Unlocking the build of the protein could theoretically aid scientists in developing drugs that would stop protease from spreading."
Interestingly enough, few of the gamers involved in solving the problem had any background at all in molecular biology. For them, it was apuzzle, based a a specific set of rules.
According to a study on the project published by Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, although the idea of using gamers to solve scientific puzzles has been around for awhile, but "this is the first instance that we are aware of in which online gamers solved a longstanding scientific problem." Authors of the study also say: "These results indicate the potential for integrating video games into the real-world scientific process: the ingenuity of game players is a formidable force that, if properly directed, can be used to solve a wide range of scientific problems."
Apparently, Foldit gamers have also helped come up with solutions to problems facing scientists fighting cancer and Alzheimers, too. And the folks at Foldit say there's more to come, dealing with "one of the algorithmic discoveries in Foldit recipes, and a brand new synthetic protein discovered primarily due to the insight of Foldit protein design."
That kind of makes me feel a little better about the amount of time our kids spend playing games online! Of course, I am not sure how playing Minecraft is going to help cure AIDS or cancer or anything else. But maybe Minecraft is just the stepping-stone to Foldit. It's also about creativity and spatial reasoning, after all.

Moreau: Go for it kid. It'll be a good learning experience.
Schremp: Learning experience? Is MacT behind this?
What Schremp is saying: This one time...at hockey camp...____________
What Moreau is thinking: If THAT is what he was doing at Hockey camp it's no wonder he can't skate worth a damn.
That they have basically both played the same number of games for the Oil in the past two years
I like those pants by the way. The convo probably went like this:
Schremp: Hey Mr. Moreau, can I play on your team??
Moreau: I have heard enough.
(punches Schemp 100 feet onto the track)
Moreau: "I'm thinking that since my career is winding down, I'd better make a YouTube video to show off some sort of inane skill that doesn't have much to do with playing the game, but makes me look WAY better than I actually am. Got any ideas?"
Schremp: "I might."

Columbus — Records kept by private police forces at private colleges and businesses would be open to public scrutiny, under legislation being considered in the Ohio House.
HB 429 was offered by Reps. Heather Bishoff (D-Columbus) and Michael Henne (R-Clayton) after student journalists were denied access to police reports at a central Ohio college.
The bill is aimed at private colleges, banks, hospitals and others that hire private police officers to patrol their premises.
The officers have gone through the same training required of other law enforcement, carry firearms and have the ability to conduct searches and make arrests, Henne said.
Bishoff said more than 800 private police officers not required under existing state law to maintain incident reports or other records or provide information to the public on request concerning arrests and other activities.
"A felony is a crime against the public," Henne said. "And if we're giving these private police officers the same authority to represent the public by making the arrests, then the public needs to have the same ability to scrutinize their actions."
He added, "When the private police officer is representing the public by arresting and detaining citizens, then the public not only has a right but they really have a duty to hold these police officers accountable."
The legislation would exclude officers' home addresses and other personal information, which is already exempt under existing state law from release.

I have been with the Woolwich in some shape or form for more than 6 years now. and have been satisfied with what has been delivered. Although most of my contact with them was to open/close and account or transfer money. Having had mainly savings accounts with them before and it being two weeks before the last tax year, I decided to put my annual tax allowance into a mini cash isa. I signed everything and assumed everything was fine but realised 3 months later that the money had not been taken from my savings account to put into the isa. I then had the pleasure of listening to the automated phone service; everytime I got through to somebody "I'm afraid you are through to the wrong department." I offered that I was perhaps not up to speed on touch-tone systems and asked if they could put me through to "the right deptment." In total I spoke to more than six people over three phone calls two of which were simply cut off (quite irritating after more than 10 min waiting in the queue). Finally I had got somewhere and the polite gentleman on the other end agreed to 'look into it' which was very generous. One week later, and I recieved a phone call saying the money has been transferred and the associated lost interested credited. There was a slight apologetic tone for which I was grateful but they had merely done what should have been undertaken three months earlier! No word of the fact that I had now lost my tax allowance for this tax year......something I am mustering the energy to phone them about! They perhaps are not the worst company in the world but this is my experience. Thanks for reading/rating
The Open Plan Current Account is a strange beast of a bank account. It was brought in about 3 years ago now, and I've had mine since November 2000. Please note that this opinion is concerned with the current account itself, not the Open Plan mortgage. Prior to that I had a standard current account, which I had no problems with. But that account was held jointly with my ex, and having to remortgage and get my own cheque account they would only offer me an open plan current account. I operated the account in association with a Woolwich mortgage for over a year, before transferring my mortgage elsewhere. I have noticed no differences in how the account operates, you'll be pleased to hear. Now it's pretty much a typical current account, and like all accounts you have to make sure it will work for you. I operate most of my banking through the Internet and telebanking, for reasons I'll explain more in depth as we go. So what facilities can this open plan account offer? ~ Open Plan Money Management ~ All the following facilities can be provided, as long as you have either your salary or a minimum of £250 (presumably the higher of the two), paid into your open plan current account on a monthly basis. ~ Access to your money ~ The Woolwich really are trying to cut back on their counter services. Many main branches now have only 2 or 3 counter staff, and that's assuming they haven't closed their branches. They've tried to make up for this by abolishing the controversial fee to withdraw money from the Link network of machines (32,000 countrywide). You can also withdraw money free from branches of Barclays. As I said I do most banking over the Internet, but the nature of my banking results in lots of movements of money between accounts. However, the open plan account makes money easier to track than if it was being transferred bank to bank, and it moves instantly (or overnight) too.
You can get a standard cheque book, and £100 cheque guarantee card (subject to their small print). This also works as a debit card so you can use it instead of a cheque, and even my local Nisa supermarket will offer me cashback! There is also telebanking, 24/7, 365 days a year, access through WAP, Digital TV, and many branches have installed Internet terminals that you can use if you don't have access at home. All in all, it's quite easy to get at your cash, unlike some of the banks I use. ~ Bills, standing orders and direct debits ~ You can pay these from your account. Direct debits work the same as any other bank. I was confused at first which address to put as your bank, so I spoke to Customer Services who told me they were dealt with by Jackson House in Colchester. But I'm sure I've sent some via branches in the past and had no problems. Bills are another kettle of fish. The best way to do these is setting up the bill payment facility either through Internet banking or the ATM. They'll let you pay bills over the counter but if you are paying through a Giro credit (eg Freemans, credit cards) be prepared to pay £2.00 per transaction. If you do use bill payments in association with the sweeping facility, don't go into a panic like I did when it shows you overdrawn badly the day the payments do out. This is because the sweeping won't always leave enough money in your current account to cover bill payments in the same way it deals with direct debits. You should not be charged any overdraft charges if this happens! (See the section on Sweeping for further details of how this works.) ~ Other counter transactions ~ You are allowed up to 10 counter transactions in any one calendar month. Be careful, they count every item as a separate transaction. If you deposit say 3 cheques, and £80 in cash, that counts as 4 items. If you make a withdrawal over the counter, that's another
one. It could quite easily add up. You can make more transactions, but then they charge you £1 for each transaction. Boy was I annoyed with this one, until some very helpful staff pointed out the following ways to circumvent the system? Use the quick deposit machine for cheques. They go into your account the same day, but count as a ?postal deposit' and don't incur any charges. I am not aware of any maximums imposed on postal deposits. If you have a large number to deposit, take the envelopes home and fill out the details in the comfort of your own home. Then just drop them in the machine as you pass. The downside ? you can't deposit cash, and you don't get a receipt. You also need to be very clear on including your account details as it is all hand written, and it doesn't go through the ATM. Use the ATM for cheque deposits. This takes a bit longer, and can be a pain for a large number of cheques. On the other hand, you do get a receipt if it's a big or important cheque. You can use the counter to make more deposits, as long as you don't put the money in your actual current account. Set up a savings pot (see below) and put the money in there. The disadvantage to this is that you do spend time transferring money between your savings pots all the time! But very handy if for example you want to sell stuff on ebay and keep it separate from your main account? ~ More about Savings pots ~ You can have up to 12 ?savings pots? on your account, which operate as separate little accounts linked directly to your current account. And you can name them pretty much what you want. You can transfer money into these and between accounts at the touch of a button. I'll be honest and say it took me ages to get my head around these, but once you think of them as separate accounts linked up it's a lot easier. I can now manage ebay without the hassle of separate banks, or being charged for a business
account. It also helps with earning a little more interest too. Instead of having lots of small accounts earning the lowest rate of interest, you should be given the combined rate of interest for all your pots. Currently they are offering up to 3% gross on your savings pots for up to £999. It's not really a way to make the most of large savings, though, I really think of it as having a number of current accounts that I can switch money between really quickly. Although for a current account that's not entirely Internet-based, 3% interest ain't that bad? Some things to watch out for: The counter services will charge you £1.00 for any withdrawal from a savings pot, so do that the other way around ? transfer the money to the current account and withdraw from there either through the ATM, a cheque or one of your free 10 transactions. Also, watching your account carefully if you use the Quick Deposit facility to put money in your account. There is a section that says ?If an Open Plan Savings Reserve Pot, please write Pot account number or Pot name:'. Twice now I have requested a deposit for a savings pot and they have put it in the main current account, but I haven't been bothered to follow it up. If you do use the facility, check up a few days later, but do complain if it's not been done right! ~ ?Sweeping' up the dough ~ OK, onto the meaty stuff now, why this account is so different from my trusty Abbey National one. Sweeping is earning a higher rate of interest on money for the hours you're not using it, specifically overnight. Imagine this simple example. I have £1000 in my account (I wish!). Now, leaving it in my Woolwich current account will pay me 0.25% a year gross, so I'll earn £2.50. But if I could put it in an account earning 3.25% I'd get £32.50. OK, so not enough to give up work, but I'm making my money work a bit better for me. Now it doesn'
;t work like that of course, because I have £1000 today, but over the course of the next month that dwindles away as I pay my bills. But what if I could have the £1000 in another account earning 3.25%, and only put the money in my actual current account (0.25%) the day a bill goes out? That's how the sweeping facility works, but the other way round. It transfers all the money you don't need the next day into your 3.25% (for balances of £1000-£9999) ?savings reserve?, so you earn money while you sleep. And over the course of a year, it will add up. It lets you choose your average balance to keep in the main current account (mine is set at £250), although I seem to recall you don't have to have the sweeping facility enabled. The major downside is tracking money through it. Yes, you do earn some interest, but it's hard to track deposits and outgoings, when all you see on your balance sheet is current account balance of £250 and savings reserve of £700 and something. What's cleared? What's gone out? I got the knack of it eventually, but it can be quite difficult to gauge exactly how much money you have at any one time, unlike a traditional current account. One way I found of handling this is to leave the current account to its own devices and having everything set up by direct debit. Then if you are say running an ebay business, or anything else involving lots of deposits, try and use your savings pots instead. They have one balance sheet and are quite easy to follow. I didn't know until recently about being able to deposit straight into pots, but life has been far easier since. ~ Anything else that I might be interested in? ~ Well, they offer an interest free overdraft of £100, but you can refuse that if you don't want it. And they can offer you a Barclaycard too, but I had enough credit cards already by then! All in all, although it took a while for me to get used to it, I
39;m actually rather pleased with my Open Plan account. It's the most flexible account I have right now, and their customer services are quite helpful too if you get stuck. This is by no means indicative of all the Woolwich products. I don't think I would recommend this to someone who is not comfortable with online banking, as I find myself having to keep a close eye on the accounts. And the restrictions on what you can do at the counter are a real pain if you like to bank in person, you could find yourself being lumbered with some quite hefty charges. For further information (pay a lot of attention to the Charges page!) go to their website at www.woolwich.co.uk, call in at a branch, or call 0845 070 5090. Disclaimer: Information correct at time of going to press. You should always check the terms and conditions of any bank account, and satisfy yourself of the suitability of a product and it's interest rates and charges for you before applying. This is an opinion of how I have found the Open Plan Current Account (without the Open Plan mortgage). It has worked for me, and I hope it works for you! And I'm not entirely convinced I've found the right category for this - if anyone has any better ideas, please let me know! :o)

Gas prices suck because they affect damn near everything. Food goes up, goods go up. I normally don't buy something unless it's got free shipping. It's made me less prone to travel to tournaments. I dont really do much traveling any more, but this has made me pretty much only attend local tourneys and ones in Baton Rouge (1 hours drive). Things that are further than that I just opt to stay home and catch up on other projects.

Going see the guy tomorrow. Got me a small loan to pay for the bike and a couple of fixes to it since it's not running. A couple of mechanic friends think it could be as simple as a new kill switch or the starter. Either way, I'll have a bike for less than 2K.

CLEVELAND (AP) — C.J. Miles scored 19 points, Kyrie Irving added 15 and the Cleveland Cavaliers held off a late rally for a 93-92 victory over Minnesota on Monday night, handing the Timberwolves their first loss of the season.
The Timberwolves nearly erased a 23-point deficit midway through the third quarter to stay unbeaten.
Cleveland led 93-84, but was scoreless over the final 2:43. Kevin Love's basket with 38 seconds remaining cut the lead to one point. Following a miss by Irving with 15 seconds left, the Timberwolves called timeout to set up the last shot. Love, the NBA's leading scorer, missed a 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds remaining and the ball was tipped away as time ran out.
Kevin Martin led the Timberwolves with 23 points. Love added 17 points and 13 rebounds.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter says a decision on which months to play the 2022 World Cup in Qatar might not come until 2015.
Blatter says he "cannot contradict" board executive committee member Michel D'Hooghe, who told The Associated Press that a decision was expected in 2015 "at the earliest."
Blatter's ruling board ordered a "very deep consultation" Friday into shifting the dates to avoid Qatar's summer heat. Soccer leaders, sponsors and broadcasters will report after the World Cup in Brazil next July.
The FIFA president says: "Let us first play the World Cup in 2014 with an easy conscience."
Blatter reiterated that the 2022 World Cup will be played in Qatar, dismissing speculation the tournament could be moved from the tiny desert nation.

Deer Poaching Probe Leads To 247 Charges Against 20 People
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas game wardens this month concluded an investigation into an illegal deer hunting ring in Southeast Texas, filing 247 criminal charges against 20 offenders.
The case involves illegal activity spanning four counties. A total of 27 animals are known to have been killed, with 13 sets of antlers and one doe head seized as evidence. Game wardens uncovered 606 possible criminal charges ranging from Class C misdemeanors to felonies, although ultimately 247 criminal charges were filed in late November and early December. A team of nine game wardens participated in the investigation, which eventually led to two search warrants and charges filed with six courts in four counties: Montgomery, Edwards, Liberty, and Houston. Two assistant district attorneys from Montgomery County assisted with most of the investigation. The suspects face paying approximately $15,000 in civil restitution, a process that compensates the people of Texas for each illegally taken wild animal.
The suspects range in age from 16 to 25 years old. Most of the charges filed against them were for hunting deer at night, hunting from a public roadway, hunting during closed season, hunting from a motor vehicle and possession of illegally taken deer.
"We did consider the ages of those involved when preparing to file charges, and more charges could have been filed," said Col. Pete Flores, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement director. "We understand that young people occasionally make mistakes. But the scope and nature of this activity goes way beyond a youthful prank, and wildlife crimes cannot be tolerated in Texas. I would add that this illegal activity is not hunting, and it is not representative of youth hunters in our state."
The case began three months ago, when a man who was aware of ongoing poaching activity by a group of young men in the Splendora area northeast of Houston was driving on Highway 59. He drove by a highway billboard advertising Operation Game Thief, the Texas wildlife "crime stoppers" program that offers rewards for tips that lead to convictions. The man later told game wardens he began thinking about the message on the billboard and the ongoing poaching activity, whereupon he turned around and drove back to get the telephone number off the billboard and called OGT.
Game Wardens Dean Fitzpatrick and Brannon Meinkowsky of Montgomery County then began leading what became a two and a half month investigation of illegal hunting dating back to fall 2006. Most of the illegal activity took place in Montgomery and Edwards Counties, with one episode each in Liberty and Houston counties. The primary targets of the illegal hunters were white-tailed buck deer. Secondary targets were exotic wildlife species such as axis deer and black buck antelope. Most of the incidents occurred at night, from a vehicle on a public roadway. The majority of the animals were retrieved by the suspects, but some were left behind because the animal's antlers were not considered big enough or the poachers were scared off by oncoming vehicles. The illegal hunting took place in developed urban subdivisions as well as rural areas.
Participants were caught poaching by two different game wardens during the course of the investigation. Game wardens had been investigating the killing of a deer on the Splendora High School football field. A few days after that incident, Montgomery County Game Warden Alan Biggerstaff caught three suspects after they shot and killed a deer in a subdivision near Conroe. Edwards County Game Warden Cody Hatfield caught four of them hunting from the roadway near Rocksprings in Edwards County. These two incidents were instrumental, providing a big break in the investigation that yielded names of many of the suspects. The two incidents also show how Texas game wardens are able to communicate and share information across the state.

Soft + sweet, for the way you live.
Refine Your Results By:
Bralette lingerie lust
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Softbra, bralette, bralet, soft cup bra, soft bra, softcup bra … whatever you call them, we are in serious lingerie lust over wireless bras. Maybe it's because we're more down with effortless lingerie luxury than ever before (Sunday lingerie vibes all week!) or maybe it's because our favorite luxury lingerie designers have finally cracked the lingerie code of designing wireless bralettes that are as functionally wearable as they are gorgeous, or maybe it's some delicious wireless bra lingerie alchemy at play. Whatever it is, we are finding more and more wireless bralettes in our lingerie drawers, and we just can't recommend them enough. No wire? No problem.

ARONISTS are believed to be behind a fire at a taxi firm in Nelson last night.
Two fire crews were called to A1 Taxis in Rigby Street after the ground floor toilet and store room were set on fire.
The fire service confirmed the fire was suspected to have been started deliberately.
The crews attended the scene shortly after 8pm and battled the blaze for just under an hour.
A joint investigation between the fire service and police is being carried out.
The taxi office was unoccupied at the time.


text: We paid for some builders to build a pergola out in the backyard about four months ago. They told us to wait until it rained and to let them know if there were any leaks or problems with it. It took a while for it to rain and then it did leak... oh boy. Now after three months of hassling the guy we were dealing with, finally the builder is now back around with his young son (I think this is called "on the job training") and they're actually fixing it.

WHEN David Howell walked off the 13th green at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship on Sunday, he must have wished the ground would swallow him up.
The Broome Manor pro, without a European Tour title since 2006, had just all-but ended his hopes of stopping that barren run with four swings of a putter.
Previous to that, in his own words, Howell was 'in the zone'. He had birdied five of the opening 10 holes and was just one shot off the lead following a bogey at 12.
Having bunkered his second at 13, the two-time Ryder Cup winner recovered superbly by scooping the ball out to within five feet of the hole.
For anyone on the tour, never mind a player with the exemplary short game of Howell, it was a makeable putt and two attempts would have been the most he expected to take.
What happened next was almost as horrible to watch as it was for Howell to experience. The first attempt ran way past the hole and two further putts somehow did not drop.
The Swindon star finally holed out at the fourth attempt, knowing only a minor miracle would result in him being propelled back into contention.
Asked afterwards by myself if pressure had been a factor, Howell admitted he had sensed it, particularly bearing in mind his bogey at the previous hole.
If the Wiltshireman is to win on the European Tour once more, and his form of the last eighth months suggests he might not be far away, these are the moments he must conquer.
The whole episode brought to mind a chapter of the excellent book 'Bounce' by the former British table tennis number one, Matthew Syed.
Syed goes into great detail explaining the reasons for 'a choke', a moment where a sportsperson's natural ability evades them because they change the way they view the situation.
He concludes that the only way of avoiding a choke is to convince yourself that what you are doing has no value or importance. The outcome has no bearing on anything. It is meaningless.
That of course is easier said than done. In my view the top sports stars only cope with pressure. Has any professional sportsperson ever truly convinced themselves that what they are doing is totally unimportant? I don't think so.
Howell believes his 'coping' level has increased in recent times, given that he is now more used to being at the higher end of the leaderboard once more.
If he can take it up just one more notch, I fancy that title - which he would so dearly love - will come his way.
Just relax a bit more, Howeller. After all, it's only a game.

From his longer blog:
I predict we will be one of the last teams to get on board with this unless we have new management that is younger and more open to this change.
Don't Sleep On It
Bill Sharman may be sad, but Charles Czeisler is happy.
It was Sharman, the Hall of Famer, who is generally credited with creating the morning shootaround -- the hour-long, day-of-game practice at the arena that has been an NBA staple for most teams since the early 70s, when Sharman coached the Lakers. (Wilt Chamberlain, not a devotee of the practice, was said to have to responded, "you tell Coach I'm coming to that arena once today.") The idea was, and is, that it's good for players to get their blood flowing early on a game day, and get thinking early about what their opponents would be trying to do that night.
But the shootaround may be going the way of the set shot as more teams are trying to figure out how to get their players more rest.
The Knicks have eliminated morning shootarounds at home, determining it was too much of a hassle for their players to get to their suburban New York facility, go home for an hour or two, then haul it back downtown to Madison Square Garden for an evening game. The Knicks now have their players come to the Garden an hour or so earlier than their usual 6 p.m. arrival time (for a 7:30 game) for shootaround. The Celtics have eliminated almost all shootarounds and pushed their non-game day practices back to noon, joining the Trail Blazers, who changed their patterns last season, and the Spurs -- who got rid of all shootarounds, home and away, two years ago, and pushed all practices back to 3 p.m. local time.
It's all music to Czeisler's ears. The Baldino Professor of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School, he's spent the last quarter century studying the effects of sleep deprivation on an increasingly sleep-deprived world (www.understandingsleep.org). In the NBA, he's known as "The Sleep Doctor," working with the Celtics, Blazers and a handful of other teams in the past couple of years.
Most people under 30 need between 8.2 and 8.4 hours of sleep every night, but more and more of us are getting fewer and fewer hours. And that's doing a number on our health, Czeisler believes, citing these stats:
• Sleep-deprived people are five times more likely to catch a cold when exposed to a rhinovirus;
• If you shave two to three hours of sleep from your normal amount per week, at the end of the week, you have the same level of impairment than if you stayed up all night and didn't sleep the night before. And that is the equivalent of a blood alcohol level of .01.
• Motor skills that are learned as a result of practice or repetition -- like, say, learning how to play a piano piece -- are ingrained into the brain during sleep. When you don't get enough sleep, you literally forget how to do what you've just learned. But when you do get enough sleep, according to Czeisler, you can improve your performance at a given task, even if you don't practice it any more, by 20 to 30 percent. This would come in handy if you were, say, trying to improve your crossover.
But almost every innovation of the last two decades, from the Internet to i-Pods to Blackberrys and big screen TVs, have conspired to keep us up later, and sleep fewer hours. We Tweet all night, never turn off our computers or televisions and wonder why we're so tired when the kids wake up the next morning.
"We are a 24/7 society," Czeisler said by telephone Thursday. "Nobody wants to miss anything."
That includes NBA players, whose workday resembles that of your basic third-shift worker at a plant. They have to be at their most alert late at night. And when they're done working, it's hard to just shut down the brain and go to sleep. Players don't eat meals before a game, so after two hours of running, they're obviously hungry. If they're at home, they'll go out to eat, and after eating a full meal, it's hard to go right to sleep.
But Czeisler is, slowly, getting NBA teams to change long-established habits. Last year, he convinced Blazers coach Nate McMillian to try to stick to a Pacific time schedule when they came East for a road trip. Instead of leaving Portland early in the morning for their cross-country flight after just a couple of hours of sleep, landing in the late afternoon and immediately going to an off-day practice around 6 p.m. Eastern time, the Blazers slept in, didn't leave Portland until noon local time, got to Orlando (their first stop on a five-game road trip) around 9 p.m. and went straight to practice, around 10 p.m.
The practice lasted a couple of hours, as McMillian put in all the things he normally would have done at shootaround the next morning. But when it was over, around midnight Eastern, it was only 9 p.m. Pacific time. The players were encouraged to stay up until the time they would normally go to bed at home. If they went to sleep at 1 a.m. Pacific, they should do the same in Orlando (4 a.m. Eastern). There was no worry about missing shootaround the next morning, because there was no shootaround the next morning. The Blazers wound up winning seven of their nine games in the East last season, their best showing in years.
"If you're going to Europe," Czeisler says, "and if you're up all night, and your reaction time goes from 250 mlliseconds to 750 milliseconds when you're looking at the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, it's not that big a deal. But if your reaction time triples when you're an NBA player, that can be the difference between a win and a loss."
Czeisler got involved with the Celtics this summer, after Boston's athletic trainer, Ed Lacerte, met him at a conference in New York. On the train back to Boston, they compared notes. Lacerte set up a meeting with Doc Rivers.
"I was like, get the [bleep] out of here," Rivers recalled. "I'm not going to see a sleep doctor. Are you kidding me? Really. I was skeptical as everyone else. And then he told me to call Nate and Monty Williams [the Blazers' assistant coach], who played for me. When I called them, the way they talked about him, they had a lot of passion about it. So I thought, I may need to sit down with this guy."
When Rivers heard the information, he was sold. But he had to sell it to his players.
"They didn't want to do it at the beginning," Rivers said. "Kevin [Garnett] and Ray [Allen], they're set in their ways. Now, they love it."
Said Allen: "We get a lot of rest. You don't wake up in the morning feeling groggy. When you practice in the afternoon, when you got up and you're able to be around the kids early in the morning, take them to school, pick 'em up, whatever it may be, as veteran players, we have an opportunity to watch your body. You've got to take care of your own body, get your running in and get your weights in. We have a pretty mature group of guys. Even the young guys know how to get their workouts in [now]. That's what I really appreciate."
When Czeisler asked teams why they plan their schedules the way they do, he's gotten a lot of blank stares and muttering about how this is the way we've always done it. He's hoping that these small moves are starting a trend in the other direction.
"If people are going to be open to modifying their schedule of events in order to get more sleep," he said, "it's a whole new ball game."
And, before you ask, he gets between 7 1/2 and 8 hours of Zzzs a night.
I would love to be proven wrong though because I think this makes a lot of sense and will only help improve the quality of basketball being played.
The sooner the entire league gets behind this, the sooner the product of the game is improved.

"Take your things, and don't come back," Mother said as Verusca opened the door. Verusca paused and then said softly, "I'll collect my things when I return from church." She hurried toward the church, crying.
As Verusca entered the church, a woman was telling the mission story of a girl who faced trials similar to Verusca's. Tears ran down her cheeks as Verusca listened to how God had prepared a safe haven for the girl who had dared to follow Jesus.
After church, Verusca stood near a wall wondering what to do next. Marques approached and saw her tears. She told him what her mother had said, and he offered to take her to his home. But Verusca declined. She didn't know Marques's family. The two walked toward town together. They found a bench and sat down to talk. Marques prayed for her and then read her some promises from his Bible.
Time flew, and as sunset approached, Marques said he had to return to church for vespers. Verusca walked home alone. Her mother wasn't home when she entered the house, but she found a note on the table. Trembling, she read it. "Please don't leave. Love, Mom." Verusca smiled and hurried toward the church. God had provided a way for her!
But as she returned home after dark, fear once again enveloped her. She prayed for peace and entered the house. Mother welcomed Verusca with a look of relief. Verusca realized that her family had been worried about her.
No one mentioned religion that week, but Verusca knew her mother wasn't happy with the direction she had chosen. In time her mother calmed down, and Verusca continued attending church.
Then one Sabbath morning Mother told Verusca, "Hurry or you'll be late for Sabbath School." Verusca smiled; her mother no longer opposed her decision to become an Adventist.
Verusca shares her faith with her mother, just as her brothers had shared theirs with her. Verusca has learned that her mother listens to some Adventist programs on the radio, and Verusca prays that God's words will sink deeply into her mother's heart and find fertile ground there to grow into faith. She prays that her father will find faith in God as well.

Another big divisional game with the Jaguars occurs this week. Jacksonville visits Indy just three weeks after the Colts defeated the Jags at their place. A Colts win makes the Colts 3-0 in the division and gives the Ponies the tiebreaker against the Jags. A Jacksonville win will bump the Colts down to second in the division for the moment.
Other big NFL games today:
Jets at Patriots
Titans at Vikings
Falcons at Chiefs

TROY - Rensselaer County Executive Kathleen M. Jimino announced Wednesday that the County's application for $5,066,512 in State grant funding to make upgrades and improvements to its emergency communications system has been approved.
According to the award letter, the "Statewide Interoperability Communications Grant (SICG) is provided to facilitate the development, consolidation and/or improved operation of public safety communications to support and enhance statewide interoperable communications to first responders throughout New York state."
The County's application for funding sought financial support for a number of projects that will expand and enhance radio coverage for both law enforcement as well as fire and ambulance first responders. The grant funding includes the replacement of a tower site, the upgrade of connectivity between the County's seven tower sites, the expansion of available radio frequencies, as well compliance with Federal Communications Commission's mandate to narrow-band certain frequencies. As well, once the work is completed, the County system will allow interoperability with State and Federal emergency responders. Additionally, the grant will fund the purchase of new mobile and portable radios for local law enforcement agencies.
"These upgrades to our emergency communications system are vitally important to our first responders' ability to help those in need. I want to commend the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Governor Cuomo for recognizing how important this grant funding is to our ability to create and maintain a radio communications system that our first responders can count on," said Jimino.
Currently Rensselaer County maintains and supports seven radio communications tower sites that are used to transmit radio communications as well as dispatch and alert first responders to an alarm or public safety emergency. Approximately 2000 portable and mobile radios in use by local police, fire, and ambulance squads utilize the system to communicate
