I, Okenna Egwu, was born on the twenty-second day of June in the hot summer of 1988. Initially, people are startled by my young age but I usually tend to pay it little mind. I grew up on the north side of Chicago and at the age of seven moved to the western suburb of Maywood where I currently reside.
It was there that I attended Proviso East High School and met a teacher who has had a profound influence on my choice of major. During my senior year, I took an AP physics class that stimulated my mind in a way that I had never before experienced. Prior to my senior year I imagined myself pursuing a career in psychology. After taking an elementary psyche class, I decided that this subject was not for me.
My physics instructor, Mr. Edward Beidas held a certain fascination with physics that lesser interested individuals generally consider to be insane. I learned to appreciate his enthusiasm and dedication. Under his guidance, I explored the intriguing world of physics. As I expanded my knowledge for the subject, I began to realize I would actually enjoy dedicating my life to this arena.
Toward the end of August, I will be going to Bradley University to study physics full time as a freshman. I imagine this to be an interesting and fulfilling quest with many opportunities. I probably will spend a great portion of my free time there playing intramural basketball and volleyball. I also enjoy playing the guitar and just talking with friends. My interest in psychology is quite present in my social life. I enjoy interacting with other people.
Another significant part of my life is my religion. I am an active member of my church participating in choirs and being of aid wherever possible. For the last few winters I have helped pack Christmas baskets for the less fortunate. I feel that my church has had a significant influence on my upbringing and has made me a much better person. I believe that it has refined my personality and character.
My ambitions include finishing school and eventually attaining a doctorate degree. As of now I am not sure what my ultimate career choice will be, nonetheless I know that it will have involvement with physics. In the future I am looking forward to going to college and making a lot of new friends.

The new ARM multiprocessor solution delivers greater performance at lower frequencies than comparable single processor solutions, bringing significant cost savings to system designers. Multiprocessing is ideal for demanding applications executing multiple tasks at the same time such as consumer entertainment and convergence devices in the home and car. Examples include a set-top-box recording several TV channels while sharing home movies across the Internet, and an in-car navigation system delivering simultaneous back-seat video gaming..
The MPCore multiprocessor supports up to four-way cache coherent symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), up to four-way asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP), or any combination of both. This flexibility provides increased throughput and system responsiveness, with full portability of existing applications and scalable performance for multithreaded applications. The ability to support multiple workloads addresses the needs of networking devices to process more packet streams and higher data throughput.
"Multi-processing can give system designers very high processing performance combined with low-power consumption. Through our partnership with NEC Electronics we have developed the ground breaking MPCore multiprocessor which delivers the benefits of scalable multi-processing in a configurable and easy to use implementation," said Mike Muller, CTO, ARM. "Our commitment to producing innovative IP enables our Partners to produce the most advanced digital products, and enrich the end-user experience, in the consumer electronics and networking markets. These are areas where we are seeing considerable growth in the deployment of the ARM architecture."
"The announcement of the high-performance, low-power MPCore multiprocessor is a major milestone in our ongoing collaboration with ARM," said Hirokazu Hashimoto, executive vice president of NEC Electronics. "The MPCore multiprocessor enables us to deliver high-performance and low-power solutions for next-generation multimedia processing applications in the wireless mobile, home, and automotive markets. It is innovative IP that enables us to provide scalable system solutions to customers through efficient software reuse based on the advanced MPCore multiprocessor architecture, and create true system LSI solutions for next-generation digital devices."
Software and OS Support
The MPCore multiprocessor supports both SMP and AMP software models, and supports a broad range of OS (operating system) and application software.
"Combined with innovative power conservation, the new ARM multiprocessor core will enable device manufacturers to deliver high-performance applications," said Glenn Seiler, director, Product Marketing, MontaVista Software. "Developers will appreciate the strong synergy between this technology and MontaVista Consumer Electronics Edition's dynamic power management capabilities and native Linux support for symmetric multiprocessing."
"The MPCore multiprocessor provides the technology the industry needs to create complex and high-performance devices," said Robert Day, director of Marketing from Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division. "Development of a multiprocessor interface within our Nucleus PLUS RTOS will be consistent with the technology in the MPCore multiprocessor and we look forward to releasing the Nucleus® operating system for this platform."
"At the KTH Royal Institute of Technology of Sweden, we have published multiple papers on the energy and performance advantages of multiprocessor designs in embedded systems using a similar adaptive shutdown technique as supported by the MPCore multiprocessor," said Mats Brorsson, professor in Computer Architecture at KTH. "In transferring our OpenMP compiler technology to ARM that simplifies the development of SMP applications, we have been able to demonstrate the advantages of multiprocessor technology we had previously predicted."
The MPCore multiprocessor supports the ARMv6 architecture, with SIMD media extensions for next-generation rich multimedia and convergent devices and ARM Jazelle® Java acceleration. The MPCore multiprocessor implements between one and four processors with cache coherency using a modified MESI protocol. It also features configurable level 1 caches, 64-bit AMBA™ AXI interfaces, vector floating-point coprocessors and programmable interrupt distribution. The processor supports Adaptive Shutdown of unused processors to give dynamic power consumption as low as 0.57mW/MHz from a generic 130nm process excluding cache. The ARM Intelligent Energy Manager technology can further reduce consumption by dynamically predicting the required performance and lowering the voltage and frequency. The MPCore multiprocessor enables system designers to view the core as a single "uniprocessor", simplifying development and reducing time-to-market.
The MPCore multiprocessor is available for licensing from ARM now. First silicon is expected Q2 2005. An evaluation system for the MPCore multiprocessor with Linux 2.6 OS and development tools is available today to enable early software development for MPCore multiprocessor designs.

The holiday season always brings out the best in people and it becomes a great time of the year to help those who are less fortunate. Rolling Deep 4 Charities, the Teamster Horsemen Chapter 42, and Swat on Patrol held their 6th Annual Christmas Toy Run this past December. The Toy Drive took place at the Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights, California, on the corner of 1st and Boyle.
This Annual Toy Run used to be called the Ramona Gardens Christmas Toy Drive and was established by Rolling Deep 4 Charities (RD4C). Due to the overwhelming responses and positive feedback that it received, the event was relocated to a larger location at the Mariachi Plaza. This charitable organization, RD4C, was founded by Martin Resendez in 2003 with the sole purpose of making a difference in people's lives by helping those in need.
This year's Toy Run was one of the largest toy drives held in Los Angeles. More than 300 lowriders and 650 motorcycle riders came, and over 4,000 toys and bikes were donated to the children of Boyle Heights and the surrounding areas. Each child present received a toy or a bicycle. Bikes were given to the children that worked hard in school and provided proof of outstanding grades.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, as well as other city officials, supported the toy run and their efforts in giving back to the community. Many were involved and contributed to making this event possible. Techniques LA, Groupe ELA, Klique ELA, Old Memories So LA, and Antiques, as well as other supporting car clubs, donated over 300 bicycles for the children.
Teamster Horsemen Chapter 42 hauled the toys in their 53-foot big rig and Hooman Toyota of Long Beach provided a stake bed to haul the giveaway bicycles. Other notable supporters were Law Tigers, Laidlaw Harley-Davidson, and The Boo Foundation, and the Techniques Car Club organized the car club participation and procession from La Placita Olvera in Los Angeles to Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights.
Special guest Emilio Rivera from "Sons of Anarchy" and Santa were also there to show support and contribute their time to the festivities. Due to the generosity of all those who were involved, the event was a huge success and many thankful children went home happy with their new bikes and toys.

General Support - How to create a limited guest user

How to create a limited guest user
I can't create a guest user profile. I created a user "guest" with no password somewhere but it's impossible to login, always this message: login failed.
I need to create a user "guest" limited essentially to use an Internet browser and Skype, not allowed to print, to burn CD etc. How could I do this?
Maybe the solution is already present in forum, but I could not find it, sorry, and have to ask for a help. Also for some more issues like wlan connection, change language at startup,(login), Flash plug-in in Konqueror, activate numbers keys at startup...

How to create a limited guest user
To enable login without password:
sudo passwd -d guest
It disables the password for user "guest", allowing you to log into guest without a password.
I think you can set permissions with groups etc (for example do not add him to vboxusers if he should not be allowed to use virtualbox, or do not give permission to use sudo). I do not really know which group does what, but i think google will ^^. Or propably kano can tell you how to set the groups up (you can use the irc to ask directly).
For this to work the file and folder permission have to be set corectly. IF you ever did a chmod a+rwx /* groups will not have much effect

RE: How to create a limited guest user
Thanks for your message, D.Gonzo.
I deleted the first guest user and greated a new one without password. It works. I will try to manage permissions now through groups.
And what about other problems?
I need to change language at startup (login) to french.
I want to connect to a hidden wlan network (name hidden , no password), but I cannot to...
Should I start a new topic for each?

RE: How to create a limited guest user
In fact, I just need to add a french keyboard option along with german and english already present at login. Because my keyboard is french. Any help?

RE: How to create a limited guest user
Thanks, Kano.
After this command I entered french keyboard settings, and it seems to have worked, now I can tape my password more comfortably. But Login Manager still proposes a choice from only 2 languages (german and US english) in General tab... ???
The password has also some digits, so I'd like to activate numbers' keyboard at startup (login); can you tell me how, please?

HARTSVILLE, S.C. - The 2011 season came to a close on Saturday night for the Cobras as they dropped their game to St. Andrews 2-1. Freshman Cassie Callahan (Fayetteville, N.C.) netted the lone Coker goal in the 58th minute off a pass from sophomore Rachel Solomon (Bluffton, S.C.).
Coker freshman keeper Lizz Morris (Stillwater, N.Y.) made four saves on the night. Callahan's goal was a blast from deep outside that rang off the crossbar. The Cobras managed a total of ten shots, nine of which were on goal.
St. Andrews' sophomore keeper Katie Jaskulski (Orlando, Fla.) made eight saves for the Knights. Senior Olivia Taylor (Fountain Inn, S.C.) tallied the first goal for St. Andrews in the 31st minute on a beautiful through ball from sophomore Hannah Wilson (Salisbury, N.C.). Wilson then tallied a goal in the 47th minute on an unassisted marker.
Coker's season draws to a close as they finish at 1-16-1, 1-10-1 in conference. St. Andrews' season is also finished as they conclude the 2011 season at 2-15-1 overall, 1-11 in conference play.

A Cass County judge is accused of making repeated advances toward a court reporter who worked under him even though she made clear that she wasn't interested, according to a formal complaint filed Wednesday.
A Cass County judge is accused of making repeated advances toward a court reporter who worked under him even though she made clear that she wasn't interested, according to a formal complaint filed Wednesday.
The complaint filed with the Judicial Conduct Commission against East Central District Judge Wickham Corwin will be heard by a panel comprised of two members of the public, a judge and an attorney, the Forum reported. A hearing date has not yet been set.
The State Court Administrator's Office last spring investigated claims that Corwin had created a hostile work environment by making advances to a female court reporter.
According to the complaint filed by Brent Edison, assistant disciplinary counsel for the disciplinary board of the state Supreme Court, Corwin told the woman in July 2010 that he was attracted to her and "wanted a more personal relationship," but she declined. Over the next year, Corwin repeatedly tried to start conversations with her about their relationship even though she told him several times that she was not interested, Edison said in the complaint.
In June 2011, the woman sent the judge an email saying she did not want to be friends with him and she wanted him to stop harassing her. In her January 2012 performance review, the court reporter received a positive review from one judge, but Corwin said she was reluctant to accept work assignments and sent him emails with an insubordinate tone, according to the complaint.
The court reporter has since been reassigned.
Corwin, who was elected to his current post in 2008, said with formal charges being filed, he'd finally had a chance to see the specific accusations against him. He said he has prepared a formal response that will be filed with the commission.
"I made mistakes — but I certainly didn't do any of the serious misconduct alleged," Corwin said. "The fundamentals haven't changed a bit — I thought it was behind us."
Edison said that he had not seen the judge's response to the case. He said a hearing date would be set once that response was filed.
Edison said the burden of proof is on prosecutors to prove with "clear and convincing evidence," which he said is somewhat higher than the "prepondance of evidence" required in a civil case but lower than the "beyond a reasonable doubt" required in a criminal matter.
Possible sanctions included censure by the Supreme Court, a recommendation to limit the judge's duties, suspension, removal or retirement.

Bake your own classic snacks
I've never eaten a Twinkie.
But for a long time I was obsessed with Hostess cupcakes, those dry brown cupcakes with the squiggle of icing curling over the cardboard-like chocolate topping. By no means gourmet, there was something about that overly sweet white centre balanced against the chocolate cake that had me craving them.
Jennifer Steinhauer has tapped into that craving for classic snack nostalgia with her cookbook Treat Yourself (Clarkson Potter/Publishers), which features 70 recipes for such goodies as Twinkies, Mallomars, Cheetos and Cracker Jacks.
Although skewed heavily to those snacks widely available in the U.S. — including recipes for the Girl Scout cookies that everyone seems to go mad for when the girls in uniform go door-to-door selling them — those of us on this side of the border still recognize most of the cookies, chocolate bars and salty snacks from pop culture references and television commercials. And if none of the Girl Scout cookies are familiar, or don't tempt, then there are old standbys like Nutter Butters, Fig Newtons and Oreos to be recreated.
Most of the recipes feature photographs to help jog memories of snacks from our youth and Steinhauer covers a wide range of recipes in the book.
Her tone is informative and charming, especially for those recipes when she recounts her own experiences enjoying them as a kid. At points, I was smiling and laughing out loud at her introductions.
But, for me, there was only one recipe I could focus on: Steinhauer's take on the Hostess cupcakes.
I will give the plastic manufactured version this one compliment: it's a lot easier to just buy them.
The four-stage recipe took a lot longer than anticipated and, initially — after the piping bag exploded icing everywhere — I wasn't convinced they were the effort. Stepping away from the kitchen for a few hours after they were done helped, though. And when I ate a cupcake, bit through the ganache and icing curlicue topping and into that sweet, white filling, I knew I had been mistaken.
These are not Hostess cupcakes; they are a high-end nod to that concept.
There were a couple of hiccups. First, I got 32 cupcakes instead of the anticipated 18, even after I filled the cups more than halfway. Baking in batches and filling and icing them all took longer than anticipated, though I wouldn't necessarily say having extras is something to complain about.
Second, dipping them to get that chocolate coating didn't work so well for me, so I suggest using a small spoon to dollop over the ganache and swipe around the top of the cupcake for an even coating, if that's giving trouble.
Lastly, it took a lot of effort not to eat more than I should. But I did eat two. After all, that's how they're packaged.
Hostess Cup Cakes
There are numerous steps to make these cupcakes come together, but the effort is worthwhile. The cupcakes are far tastier and decadent versions of the original, but with enough of a nod to their roots that you can taste the nostalgia.
For the cupcakes:
- 1 cup (250 mL) butter, softened
- 2 cups (500 mL) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (250 mL) natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey's Baking Cocoa
- 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) whole milk
For the filling:
- 1 cup (250 mL) marshmallow fluff (**see cook's note)
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) powdered sugar
For the frosting:
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) heavy cream
- 1 cup/8 oz (250 mL/250 g) bittersweet chocolate morsels
- 1 1/2 tbsp (22 mL) salted butter, softened
For the frosting decoration (optional):
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line a 6- and 12-muffin tin with paper liners.
Make the cupcake batter: In the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer, cream the butter and the sugar together at medium speed just until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix just until combined. In a measuring cup, stir 1/2 cup (125 mL) hot water and the cocoa together until smooth. Add the cocoa mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low speed for an additional 10 seconds.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour and beating after each additional until the ingredients are just blended.
Fill each prepared muffin cup half full with chocolate batter. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Make the filling: Using a clean bowl and a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, beat the marshmallow fluff, the 1/3 cup (80 mL) of butter, and the 1/3 cup (80 mL) of powdered sugar together until combined and fluffy, about 1 minute. Using the handle of a small fork or spoon, make a hole in the top centre of each cake. Gently rotate the utensil in each hole to create a small cavity at each opening. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and pipe in just enough marshmallow mixture to fill each hole. As with the Twinkie, you want a firm grasp on your cupcake as you infuse it with filling, so as not to allow it to explode; once you feel it growing in size, stop infusing. Use a wet fingertip or the back of a spoon to tamp down any marshmallow peaks, ensuring that the filling is even with the top of the cupcake.
Make the frosting: In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat just until bubbles form at the edges. Add the chocolate morsels and remove the pan from the heat, stirring until the chocolate melts. Add the 1 1/2 tablespoons (22 mL) salted butter and continue to stir until smooth. Let cool for 3 minutes. Transfer the chocolate to a large, deep glass bowl. Dip the top of each cupcake into the chocolate to coat, letting the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Let the cupcakes rest on a wire rack set over newspapers until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
Make the frosting decoration: In a small bowl, beat the 1/4 cup (60 mL) of butter and the 1/2 cup (125 mL) of powdered sugar together until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag and decorate the top of each cupcake with a curlicue pattern. Serve immediately. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Makes 18 cupcakes.
**Cook's note: Marshmallow fluff is widely available at most large grocery stores. Find it either with the peanut butter or sundae toppings.

Scientists fighting invasive weeds along Platte River
Invasive weeds that thrive in wetlands seriously impact wildlife habitat and water flows in the Platte River, but University of Nebraska-Lincoln researchers are working to combat them.
Phragmites, also known as common reed, grow profusely along the river, particularly between Grand Island and North Platte, said Stevan Knezevic, integrated weed management specialist.
Mechanical, cultural, chemical and biological control methods are being used to fight it.
"This is a bear," he said. "It's probably one of the most invasive species on this continent and there's no silver bullet" to get rid of it.
Farther west, weed specialist Bob Wilson of the Panhandle Research and Extension Center is leading efforts to control Russian olive and salt cedar along the river between the Wyoming state line and Lake McConaughey.
Knezevic is leading a three-year demonstration and research project into various control methods for common reed, including disking, mowing and chemicals. About 10 different experiments began last spring in four areas of the river between North Platte and Grand Island, where it is particularly invasive.
The experiments are being conducted on both public and private land with the permission and collaboration of landowners, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, the Rowe Sanctuary at Gibbon and the Nature Conservancy.
Since research has shown a single control method fails to provide long-term control of an invasive species, the experiments consist of blending various control methods at different times of the year to see which is most effective.
The work is being supported financially by the Riparian Vegetation Management Task Force. The task force, created by state legislation, also includes representatives of wildlife management, local, state and federal entities.
The goal of the research, Knezevic said, is to find the right method to control non-native common reed that thrives in wetlands and can grow 10 to 15 feet tall.
"Once you have a stand, it's like a wall," he said.
Not only does the weed compete with native plant populations, it reduces wildlife habitat, creates a fire hazard, affects the water flow and depletes the water from the river.
"It's sucking up the Platte River when you have these large stands," he said.
Russian olive and salt cedar are shrub-like species that can grow more than 20 feet tall and choke out preferable native species and disturb wildlife habitat, Wilson said.
Wilson has found that the best control method is cutting down the shrubs and treating the stumps with herbicides. Two newer chemicals released by DuPont and Dow Chemical Co. have shown to be effective and more environmentally friendly than other herbicides, he said.
"They open up a whole new area of research," he said.
Wilson's research also includes determining a species to plant in place of the invasive weeds that will be resistant to herbicide residue.
Controlling the invasive weeds supports the Platte River Cooperative agreement, which requires Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado to find ways to put more water back into the river, Wilson said. Because the weeds soak up so much water, getting rid of them will help keep water in the river, he said.
"By removing them you can liberate 33,000 acre feet of water back into the system," he said. Even after planting a new species after the weeds are gone, the net result will be a gain of 23,000 acre feet of water, he added.

Sears is threatening to leave its headquarters in Hoffman Estates, a suburb of Chicago. At the time it left the Sears Tower, the company received incentives from the state to remain in Illinois, and built a sprawling office complex that was, in suburban fashion, as the iconic tower it abandoned in 1993. Now Sears is playing the "move" game again, seeking generous payouts from states to relocate its operations.
It is hard not to look at this and be a little cynical. In 1993 Sears was fading but still relevant to the retail world. The chain was once the nation's top-ranked retailer at a time when Kmart was the top-ranked discount retailer. In 2011 these combined companies rank number ten. Sales have declined for 19 straight quarters and stock prices have declined despite desperate buy-backs meant to inflate value. Sears is not wanting to relocate, it is looking for cash in order to survive.
So as a state or city, is it worth bidding on this dying dinosaur? Some states think so. Ohio, for one, has offered $400 million. On the other hand, Illinois has chosen not to get into the game by offering any incentive to stay. This might have been Sears' ultimate hope - a package of concessions without the cost of relocation.
I wonder what the real benefit might be to any place that lands a relocated Sears. How many employees will transfer with the company? For many, this may be an opportunity to jump ship. If the best executives, middle management, and technical people refuse to depart with the company, how much sooner will Sears enter the ranks of the departed? Can a company with no clear, effective direction absorb the turmoil of a move and restaffing without taking a hit, which in this case might easily be a death blow?
Is there merit to playing the incentive game, or is Sears just waiting to expire?

US stocks closing: U.S. stocks rose on Friday as Dow component Hewlett-Packard surged on strong results and comments from Fed officials allayed fears that the central bank would curtail its stimulus measures.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke downplayed worries that the Fed has fueled asset bubbles that could hurt the economy in a private meeting with bond dealers and investors earlier this month,Bloomberg reported on Friday.
Bernanke's view helped ease fears that the central bank may end its easy money policies. Minutes from the Federal Reserve's January meeting hit markets on Wednesday as investors interpreted divergent opinions on the benefit of stimulus as a sign the measures may be halted sooner than thought.
"They are in uncharted territory with divergent views," said Jack Ablin,chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago. "I could see some pretty heated opinions on what the ultimate outcome is,so I do believe there is dissension."
Hewlett-Packard Co shares jumped more than 12 percent and gave one of the biggest boosts to both the Dow and the S&P 500 after the personal computer maker's quarterly revenue and forecasts beat expectations. Hewlett-Packard's stock rose to $19.20 at the close,up 12.3 percent for the day.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 119.95 points,or 0.86 percent,to 14,000.57 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 13.18 points,or 0.88 percent,to 1,515.60. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 30.33 points,or 0.97 percent,to end at 3,161.82.
With Bernanke's reported comments much on their minds in Friday's session,investors will want the Fed chairman to reiterate his remarks publicly when he speaks before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday. That would echo comments made by two top Fed officials on Friday.
Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren and Fed Governor Jerome Powell both defended the U.S. central bank's asset-buying program,arguing that the policy helps the U.S. economy.
The S&P 500 shed 1.9 percent over the previous two sessions,its worst two-day drop since early November,following the release of the Fed's minutes on Wednesday. The selloff marked the end of seven back-to-back weeks of gains for stocks.
For the week,the S&P 500 slipped 0.3 percent and the Nasdaq lost nearly 1 percent. Only the Dow ended the week with a gain – up just 0.1 percent.
HP's results come near the end of a relatively strong earnings season in which 70 percent of S&P 500 companies beat analysts' expectations,compared with a 62 percent average since 1994 and 65 percent over the past four quarters,according to Thomson Reuters data.
"Overall,the earnings supports were better than expected in this cycle," said Peter Jankovskis,co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle,Illinois. "We may see the market rising during the month of March."
Fourth-quarter earnings for S&P 500 companies are estimated to have risen 6 percent,according to the data,above a 1.9 percent forecast at the start of the earnings season.
But with only a handful of companies left to report earnings,investors are looking ahead to the possibility of hefty automatic budget cuts that could happen on March 1.
A large option investor appeared to be adjusting a bearish view on the SPDR S&P 500 Trust fund while locking in previously established gains,in a possible hedge ahead of the automatic budget cuts that are set to take effect at the beginning of next month. The play involved weekly puts,expiring next Friday.
"An institutional investor appears to be rolling down and increasing in size a defensive hedge timed to match the March 1 deadline for the sequester," said Henry Schwartz,president of options analytics firm Trade Alert.
The trader sold 132,000 $149 to $150 weekly put spreads for 22 cents as shares of the exchange-traded fund had traded near $151.14 on Friday morning. The transaction entailed the sale of $150 weekly puts to buy the $149 weekly puts. In addition,the investor purchased another 42,000 $149 weekly puts,which increases the size of the hedge to 174,000 contracts.
"It is likely this large position protects an existing underlying long position in a portfolio," Schwartz said.
In another political risk factor,Italians go to the polls this weekend in an election that could threaten reforms in the indebted country. Silvio Berlusconi's resurgence has thrown the vote wide open,with deep uncertainty over whether the poll can produce the strong government the country needs.
Inconclusive Greek elections last year sparked a protracted selloff and a period of uncertainty in markets.
In the tech sector,Marvell Technology Group Ltd forecast results this quarter that were largely above analysts' expectations. Marvell gained market share in the hard-disk drive and flash-storage businesses. The stock rose 4.4 percent to $9.89.
Texas Instruments Inc raised its dividend by a third and boosted its stock-buyback program,driving its stock up 5.2 percent to $34.18.
The PHLX semiconductor index gained 2.1 percent.
"Dividends growing are another way the market's level is justified,if not especially attractive at these levels," said Rex Macey,chief investment officer of Wilmington Trust in Atlanta,who manages about $20 billion in assets.
On the downside,Abercrombie & Fitch dropped 4.5 percent to $46.86 after the youth-oriented clothing retailer reported a drop in fourth-quarter comparable sales,even as its latest quarterly earnings topped estimates.
Insurer American International Group Inc posted fourth-quarter results that beat analysts' expectations. AIG's stock advanced 3.1 percent to $38.45.
About three stocks rose for every one that fell on both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.
Around 5.8 billion shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange,the Nasdaq and NYSE MKT,below the 20-day moving average of around 6.51 billion shares.

If you like Nextel's features, but can't afford the services plans, you'd be wise to consider Boost Mobile. Sort of a Sprint Nextel younger brother, Boost offers similar phones and services at a cheaper price. And now with the new Motorola Clutch i465, Boost also gets its first QWERTY handset. As an iDEN device, the Clutch has a familiar look and feel and it offers push-to-talk (PTT) calling. You won't have to sign a contract, and you can get it for just $129.99.
The i465 is a bit small (4.4 inches by 2.1 inches by 0.6 inch) for a QWERTY phone, but we were drawn to its candy bar design. Sure, it's a bit boxy, but the red color is attractive and the tapered edges give it a sleek feel. It's also lightweight (3.4 ounces), but it has a comfortable feel in the hand. The battery cover has a textured finish, and the Clutch is certified to military specifications for shock, vibration, dust, and solar radiation.
Like many Nextel phones, the 1.79-inch display doesn't have the greatest resolution (64,000 colors; 160×128 pixels). This continues to be a sore spot for us, but on a phone that's geared for messaging rather than gaming it's not so bad. The multipage is also classic Nextel, but we're not big fans of that, either. You can change the backlighting time and the text size.
The Clutch's controls have a spacious, comfortable design. You'll find a circular toggle with a central OK button, two soft keys, a dedicated menu control, a speakerphone key, and the Talk and End/power buttons. Though only parts of the navigation array are raised above the surface of the phone, all of the controls are intuitive and easy to use. The toggle also doubles as a shortcut to four user-defined functions.
On the right side of the display you'll find additional shortcuts for the messaging application, the Web browser, and the camera. Though they make the phone look a tad off-center, the shortcuts are in a convenient place. On the left spine, you'll find the rocker and PTT button. Both are spacious and tactile. Below them are a 2.5-millimeter headset jack (boo) and a standard Mini-USB charger port (yay).The camera lens rests on the rear face of the phone–there's no flash or self-portrait mirror.
The keyboard will seem small to some users, but we found the peaked keys tactile and relatively easy to use. As with many QWERTY phones, letter keys share space with numbers and symbols, but the arrangement never felt crowded. Indeed, we were tapping long messages and dialing phone numbers easily and quickly. The space bar sits in the middle of the bottom row; near it are shift, function, symbol, return, and back keys. You'll also find a second convenient shortcut for the messaging menu. Below the shortcut is the phone's main speaker.
The Clutch's 600-contact phone book has room in each entry for seven phone numbers, an e-mail address, and notes. You can save contacts to groups or PTT Talk Groups, and you can pair them with one of 12 polyphonic ringtones. Other basic features include a vibrate mode, a memo pad, a speakerphone, a voice memo recorder, call timers, Bluetooth, and a datebook. And, of course, you also get support for Boost's walkie-talkie PTT service.
Text and multimedia messaging are prime features, but the Clutch also supports a selection of POP3 e-mail accounts. Threaded texting is a plus, but e-mail will require a Web-based interface. The Clutch does not support IMAP4 e-mail, Outlook Exchange server syncing, and instant messaging.

WGAE Announces It's Moving Downtown
Dear Writers Guild of America, East Member:
You may recall that in our New Year's letter we mentioned that we would soon have news to share about an exciting new move for the Guild.
So here it is: the Guild really is moving. Downtown, at the end of June, construction gods willing. Our new address will be 250 Hudson Street, just above Tribeca, between Broome and Dominick.
Why? Several reasons. First, our lease at 555 West 57th was up for renewal, and with the real estate market being what it is, this seemed the perfect time for a change. Commercial rents have dropped and incentives are being offered to new tenants. We decided to take advantage of the opportunity, securing a fifteen-year lease for better space at a cost far below what it would have been just a few years ago. And we have a new landlord eager to work with us.
Also, 250 Hudson is in one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in the city, especially for people in our business. Many of our new neighbors are media and entertainment companies and the area has become fertile ground for digital media and a variety of other start-ups that are so essential to our continued growth. What's more, our new address is close to mass transit, making access to the office easier than ever.
But perhaps most important, the new office will be designed for your needs as well as those of our hard-working staff. There have been a lot of changes in the union and the business since we first moved into West 57th, and the new space will reflect that. As just one example, our organizing staff is now six strong and they will be able to work for you more collegially and effectively at 250 Hudson than in the old space.
We think you'll find the offices more open and inviting. We'll be able to host more events than we have been able to in the past – there's even a rooftop deck with views of the city that we'll be able to use for certain special occasions. And there will be a writers' room – if you're in the neighborhood, it will be a place where from time to time you can come to work, discuss projects with your colleagues or just take a quick break.
Work already is underway, and once it has been determined, we'll let you know the official move date. When we've settled in, we hope you'll stop by, have a quick tour, take advantage of what we have to offer and become involved in what we do.
This is your union, and this move is designed to make you more an integral part of it than ever. We look forward to seeing you downtown.
In solidarity,
Michael WinshipPresident
Lowell PetersonExecutive Director

Responding to recent complaints about trains repeatedly blowing their horns in the early-morning hours, a CSX representative Wednesday night told the Planning Board the blowing of horns cannot be avoided without violating federal law.
Robert E. Longden Jr., a local attorney representing CSX, said federal regulations require trains to blow their horns when entering the terminal and whenever trains pass one another within it.
Leonard Ciuffredo, chairman of the Brown Square Crime Watch Group, said people living in the Atlanta Street and Lake Avenue areas have complained about horns in the early morning.
He said the problem will likely get worse after the expansion project is completed and the freight terminal is able to accommodate more traffic.
"The noise issue seems to have multiplied," Mr. Ciuffredo said. "Trains are coming into the yard during the early-morning hours blowing their horns for long durations. Naturally, I think this problem is only going to get worse after this project is done."
In a related matter, the Planning Board Wednesday night unanimously approved 25 "minor" changes to the definitive site plan approved in 2011 for the expansion of the CSX terminal, located between Shrewsbury and Franklin streets.
The changes include modifications to crossing areas within the terminal, the relocation of trees near the main entrance, driveway widening and additional infrastructure at Foch Avenue, the relocation of fences along Tampa and Grafton streets, and some signage changes.
The proposed changes gave people an opportunity to voice concerns about overnight noise, an issue recently brought to the attention of the City Council by District 3 Councilor George J. Russell.
Mr. Longden said a review was done in response to complaints in the Lake Avenue area and it was found that the times when train horns were sounded and the decibel levels from those horns did not exceed federal requirements. He said the Federal Railroad Administration has been made aware of those findings.
"What is happening there (CSX terminal) is what is required by federal law," Mr. Longden said. "The problem is there are residential properties adjacent to the terminal. This has been operating as a train terminal for 150 years."
Before CSX expanded its terminal from 58 acres to nearly 80 acres, the freight yard went as far east as Fantasia Drive, which is a largely an industrial and commercial area. But with the $100 million expansion project, the freight yard now goes as far east as Atlanta Street, where there are more homes.
When trains approach the freight yard in that area and they are required to sound their horns, the noise can be heard by more people in their homes.
Jo Hart said residents of the Lake Avenue and Atlanta Street areas were never told they would have to put up with train horns blowing overnight when the expansion project was initially proposed and under consideration.
"The city did not have to allow this, but it was railroaded through by certain people," she said.
Mr. Ciuffredo asked the Planning Board to require CSX to send a mailing to all residents living within 1,000 feet of the terminal letting them know how they could contact CSX with noise complaints they may have.
He said signs are supposed to be posted around the CSX property with that information, but many people have been unable to find them.
Mr. Longden said signs have been placed on the CSX property, and contact information is also posted on the CSX website as well as the city's website.

Oh Carol, it's bedtime stateside. Oh well, maybe I can dream of the pastries.ReplyDelete
How do you not weigh 300lbs?ReplyDelete
These are absolute heaven!
Cerise sur la Gateau????????
Sweet dreams to all! (It's almost 10PM here)Replies
Err...these are very light and very, very small.Delete
You can hardly see them.
US cupcakes and muffins are MUCH bigger!
Crazy about the aquarelles and Comptoir De Famille..My friend enjoyed the store in Paris..she said I found a store you would love..:)ReplyDelete
If you have flirtde tehre is no way they will resist you forever. o cute..and timeless..
Downtown this AM..hopefully maybe w/ a glass of wine at 5 an art lesson:)
I made a cherry almond cake yesterday..and thought every cherry was indeed a heart..et toi..tu vois des coeurs aussi.
The colors combined with your light hearted style bring pleasure to my mornings. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Beautiful RED color! Carol, do you scan your painting or photograph them? I have a Cannon scanner. The color comes out distorted. When I photograph in natural light the color stay true but the whole picture is too dark.ReplyDeleteReplies
I use my iPad mini for everything, though my Canon scanner works a dream but I never have time and the image is HUGEDelete
Such delicious images! You inspired me to save the almost shriveled pound of cherries in my fridge from a certain fate by making a clafoutis. I didn't realize it was such an easy dessert to throw together! Cheers. x KatieReplyDeleteReplies
Bravo Katie!Delete
The clafoutis was delicious at lunch...could not stop eating it!
A most unique dessert -- I'm thinking I like my red in the fruit and not on the icing! Wonder if it comes off your teeth or you walk around red all the time... Sigh.........ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh no...it's just a thin gelatinized coating with Kirsh in it.Delete
No red dye on your teeth!
Since you asked, I prefer the one with the two pastries. The pistachio looks very, very good! I like cherries, but the red coating always looks too much like "candy apple red!" The other with just the cherry on the top is appealing as well!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1:21 PM
Unbelievable photos! I have spent a lot of time in Paris over the years but I have never seen pâtisseries like these...except when I went looking for Angelina's last visit.ReplyDelete
It would be worth a trip to Paris to do nothing else but roam around the pâtisseries.
La cerise sur le gateau
Les cerises sur les gateaux. :-)
Such a wonderful blog. If the pâtisseries are all closing for the summer weeks maybe you could do the fromageries. Gwendoline in AustraliaReplies
Hi Gwendoline in Australia!Delete
It turns out there are still many patisseries open during August so all is not lost thank goodness ;))
Delightful, just delightful. Your sketches are a treat! Have a great weekend.ReplyDelete
You dodged a bullet! I am so relieved to hear there are patisseries open during August...had always heard Paris shuts down in August.ReplyDelete
I have erroneously imagined these desserts to be rather large...please include a fork or spoon some time for scale. Don't want my eyes getting too big for my stomach. (As if that were possible!)
Love the paintings and the colors are lovely. I really love the cherry pattern china too. I would flirt with them to if I were there. :)ReplyDelete

Lipstick cherry? Love it! Looks absolutely delicious, fun and my idea of a perfect base if it's croustillant. Want! Want! Again, your watercolours are just spot on, Carol. J xoReplyDelete
I didn't get my fill of pastry while we were in Paris recently, and this makes me wish for more. Beautiful watercolors of gorgeous dessert! I'm inspired to do something with the cherries I have in the fridge now.ReplyDelete
You had me worried with the summer closings! I'm glad you will have some still to get you through. Berthillon was closed the last time we tried to visit, I still can't quite believe that the best icecream shop in the world closes for the hottest part of summer. I didn't make it to Des Gateau et du Pain either, but did my best to eat my way through the entire range at Patisserie des Reves. We mainly found the yellow cherries so gobbled kilos of those.ReplyDelete
Wonderful, wonderful color on this post. Heaven! Bonjour aujourd'hui, :-) KarenReplyDelete

MONDAY MUSINGS: A Fascination Of Cahokia

This was very interesting to read, I haven't been to that area, well at least I don't think I have.
An excellent write,

We used to live very close to Cahokia Mounds and went there several times. It is a very interesting place!

Interesting Sia, never heard of Cahokia before. The best I have ever done was to visit the castle where King Arthur is reputed to have been born.
- March 12, 2012 at 7:33 AM
- ~Sia McKye~ said...
Jo, many haven't heard about Cahokia. It's one of those lost cities. In early colonial times, the last thing the settlers wanted to find out was these *savages* were in anyway advanced or might have had a right to fight back when these settlers claimed their land. In fact, many Europeans when first seeing the town (even after it was abandoned) thought that someone else, like the Vikings or another seagoing group had built it. Surely it couldn't have been built by these backward natives.
History is fascinating regardless of where. I think visiting King Arthur's area would also be fun.

- ~Sia McKye~ said...
Hey, Tammi! I'm not surprised you visited. Monks Mound isn't all that far from St. Louis. I'm thinking it's not only and interesting place to visit but the land still tells the tales of who and what was there. I remember a feeling of them still there--much like the feeling you get visiting battlefields. The land still speaks.
Btw, I had a great time yesterday. thanks for the feeling of peace and laughter shared!

I didn't even know it was there! Must be quite a sight.

Alex, don't feel bad about that. Unless you're into history, archaeology and anthropology,or live near the now grass covered mounds, most don't.
Did you know they actually have a 4 lane highway weaving around the great serpent mound. It's quite long and fro the air its very evident it is a snake raised up on the landscape.

I loved learning about Cahokia in my World Prehistory class. Although I've driven near it, I haven't have a chance to visit it yet, but perhaps one day.

Fascinating. Americans tend not to know much about the history of the indigenous populations. Thanks for telling us about this lost city.

Hi Sia ... I didn't know anything about the Cahokia - how very interesting .. it's great technology has moved on - so we can see things undergound and envisage more of what was there. Fascinating .. and I'd love to visit sometime .. great post ..
Cheers - Hilary
PS - your Native American Dog post - I read to the oldies - as they're interested in animals .. and we're fascinated by it .. thanks!

Sia, I have lived a relatively short drive from the Cahokia mounds for most of my life now, but have never been.
My husband and I were just talking recently about taking the kids out there for a look-see this summer!
I really enjoyed the video. "We worshiped(not the sun, but) what was behind the sun." I like that.

Before the sizzle on the grill, the first sounds of the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest heard in Tom Lee Park are hammers and nail guns.
Barbecue teams and fans cheer on contestants in the Miss Piggy Contest at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest at Tom Lee Park.

Over 36 years, the contest has become as much about the construction of the elaborate booths and their kitchens as it has been about barbecue.
Health Department teams inspect barbecue vendors and contestants, but local code enforcement officers were also busy in the days leading up to the Thursday opening of the barbecue contest making sure the booths, many of them two stories tall, were safe.
But in a mended 25-year-old red tent near the center of the park's barbecue bustle this year was the longest-running team in the contest – Redneck Bar-B-Q Express.
The team, which this year had 19 members, has been competing at Memphis in May since the very first contest in 1977, claiming it was the first team to complete the very first entry form and the first to roll in a large grill with the team name on it and have matching T-shirts.
Two of the original founders remained on the team this year but others span three generations.
Marc Nelson, on the team for nine years after a number of years cooking for a firefighters team, estimated there are 80 people total who have been on the 36 editions of Redneck Bar-B-Q Express.
"We feel comfortable at 20 because we do everything on our own. We don't ask for any corporate sponsorships," said Nelson, his hands red from pulling pork on opening day last week. "We all pay out of our own pockets. It's a team deal all the way."
Over three days last week in Tom Lee Park, there were more than 250 barbecue teams competing for $110,000 in cash and prizes in what Memphis in May bills as the largest pork barbecue contest in the world.
There were 122 teams in the rib category, 55 in shoulder, 37 in the patio category and 36 in the whole hog category. The Redneck crew has always competed in the whole hog category.
"During the week it's a big party, everybody's having fun," said Mark Kingsley, who has been on the team the last four years. "But come Friday afternoon, it's time to start getting smart and getting that hog ready. Saturday is totally serious. We all wear red golf shirts and nice khaki pants and it is all presentation. And everybody has to shut their mouth and be on cue. The party's over then."
A member of the AdRibbers Team shows off a rib during the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. More than 250 teams competed.
The contest has changed over the years in more ways than simply the expansion of the park in the early 1990s.
Initially, the barbecue contest was free to spectators and the teams served barbecue to whoever they pleased as well as the judging teams. Because of health regulations, they have been barred from doing that for several years, but the contest includes tours of some select booths that offer a chance to sample the barbecue and even get some guidance on how the judges go about picking winners.
The rules have served to enhance and make getting invited into the booths an art form. Those practicing the art are looking for booths where the emphasis is on the party and not strictly on the competition. The difference is easy to spot at least to some.
"If you guys spent as much time on your food as you did on your sign, you might do better," a man pulling a cart of food supplies said in another part of the park as he walked past one of the more elaborate multi-story booths with elaborate art work.
Kingsley and Nelson and others on the express team tended to a flat grill that has been modified several times over the years.
"Now they've got it computerized so they just throw a hog on there and shut the doors and it takes care of everything," Kingsley said of other rigs. "We stoke it with raw charcoal and hickory and throw that joker on there and monitor it 24 hours making sure the temperature's right and the fire's right."
There is an intensity in the preparations for judging at the booths where it is about winning, at least until the judges leave.
Barbecue can almost be a secondary concern at some of the booths where team members are looking for more people to join the party.
While the barbecue contest has live entertainment on a stage, the stage becomes the central focus of most in the crowd when the winners are announced.
The musical acts, unlike their brethren from the Beale Street Music Festival earlier in the month, competed with booths that boast some formidable sound systems.

Scholar sees a Catholic in the Bard
Another book arguing that Shakespeare's plays were written from a Catholic perspective. It's too bad, but until there's hard evidence that Shakespeare was a practicing Catholic, the literary establishment will keep ignoring these books.

Jason tells People, they two continue to visit each other and are heading in the right direction in their relationship. Molly enjoys cooking for Jason, and he is enjoying getting to know her friends and family.
According to the happy couple, their biggest challenge is the distance between them. Molly says she plans on flying to Seatle in a few weeks to visit both Jason and Ty, "I'm excited to just spend some time with Ty outside of the cameras and production."

ASSIUT, Egypt (AP) — An Egyptian Christian who died in prison in Libya after he was detained on suspicion of proselytizing there was buried Wednesday in a subdued ceremony in his hometown in southern Egypt.
The priest of the local church, Baqi Sadaqa, told worshippers at the funeral that Ezzat Atallah's death earlier this week was a "crime against Egypt," and expressed concern about Islamists' rising power in Egypt and Libya.
Few official details have emerged about his death. He was accused by Islamic militias groups of proselytizing in Libya.
Sadaqa said Atallah was held and tortured by Islamic militants in Benghazi for 11 days in two different places before he was transferred to Tripoli. There, his wife was able to meet him, and she saw signs of torture on his body. Sadaqa said he told his wife that he was beaten, hung by ropes and lashed.
Sadaqa said Atallah, an Evangelical Christian, died three days after he was held in another prison in Tripoli.
An Egyptian diplomat has said he likely died of natural causes. Atallah suffered from diabetes and a heart ailment.
It was not clear who transferred Atallah to a prison in Tripoli or under what circumstances.
Scores of Egyptian Christians protested this week after reports emerged of Atallah's death and the detention of as many as 100 of others by Islamic militias on suspicion they were spreading Christianity in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.
Last week, Egypt's Foreign Ministry intervened to win release from Libya of 55 Egyptians who were also suspected of proselytizing. Thirty-five of them were deported for illegally entering the country, while 20 were cleared to stay in Libya.
Four foreigners under investigation for alleged espionage and proselytizing remain in a Libyan prison. They are a Swedish-American, a South Korean, a South African and an Egyptian.
Atallah had lived in Libya for more than 10 years. He ran a mobile phone business, and his wife operated a children nursery in Benghazi.
The priest, Sadaqa, said the wife will be returning to Libya, but he said he feared for her life and the lives of other Christians in the area.

Campus Branding Standards
In 2009, Fresno State began examining its branding, marketing and communications practices. Led by the campus Integrated Marketing and Communications Council, we discovered more than 100 individual logos for campus units or departments, and countless instances of the official campus logo being distorted, misplaced or misused. There were many variations of the University name, too. All this meant Fresno State had a fractured identity.
An integrated marketing steering committee was appointed by the President, comprising faculty, staff, administrators and students, plus alumni with marketing expertise. Based on quantitative and qualitative research through surveys, focus groups and reviews of existing communications materials and strategic objectives, the Steering Committee worked to develop an integrated approach to marketing and branding that is authentically Fresno State.
The committee drew upon the key points in the University's strategic plan and conducted focus groups with all our stakeholders to help shape marketing and branding elements. This research guided formulation of our identity program and standards. Our own graphic design students worked with the Steering Committee to develop the wordmark portion of the new logo.
By consistently communicating who we are, we build strong recognition and familiarity that benefits all areas of our University community. We can more effectively promote Fresno State to all audiences, support our recruitment efforts, build an enduring connection between our students and the University, strengthen regional and national awareness and add private financial support.
This Brand and Graphics Standards site and downloadable Standards Manual will guide you in understanding and employing these resources effectively to help strengthen every facet of the University.
Your support is critical to our overall success and the sustainability of our identity.

Even before the buzzer sounded, Andy Walsh had charted his course.
He stood courtside behind Will Privette's wheelchair, waiting for the final seconds of N.C. State's upset of No. 1 Duke to tick away.
It turned out to be a ride Privette will never forget.
Not storming the court with his fellow students was never an option for Privette, a 22-year-old senior who was born without a tibia and with other leg deformities. The medical condition has contained him to a wheelchair for most of his life after he doctors amputated his right leg above the knee when Privette was only 6.
Three years ago, when the Wolfpack knocked off the rival Blue Devils in Raleigh, Privette had been part of the celebration, watching from the corner of the floor while chaos broke loose around him.
Now, in his final year at N.C. State, he wasn't about to be left behind again.
"There was no way I was missing it," Privette says.
Walsh, N.C. State's student body president, had met with arena officials minutes earlier, planning for a celebration that was an instant hit on YouTube.
They had instructed him that if students were to rush the court, they were to pour onto the floor through marked openings, allowing officials and other personnel working the game a path to get off the court safely.
They also passed on one final message to Walsh, which he was to convey to students before bedlam ensued.
"If a student falls in front of you," Walsh told students in the final minutes of N.C. State's stunning win over its previously undefeated in-state rivals, "pick them up as soon as you possibly can."
As the clock started to wind down, Walsh used one of his hands to propel Privette's wheelchair and the other to protect one of the most recognizable faces in the N.C. State student section.
Privette, who also works as a statistician for the Wolfpack baseball team, never missed a game. So when Walsh had asked him if he wanted him to push him to center court once the upset was complete, Privette had gladly accepted.
"For him to say he even wanted to (rush the floor), I just figured I would help him out and that I could keep him a little more protected him just going out there by himself," Walsh told ThePostGame.com Sunday.
"But I think that's the best part of the story – he's a true fan and he's never been the type of a person to let his disability inhibit what he does every day."
The safest route, Walsh figured, was a straight line. Walsh thought had he run down the side of the court or if he didn't run at full speed, the chances were greater something could happen to Privette.
So starting from the corner of the baseline, Walsh started to run.
Privette started to yell.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Privette screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Obviously, I was right in the thick of things," Privette told ThePostGame.com in a phone interview Sunday, just more than 24 hours after video of him being knocked from his wheelchair went viral.
"As soon as I got (to center court), it was like a tidal wave came and swept me away."
What happened during the next 5-10 seconds seemed like an eternity.
After Walsh and Privette reached center court, the rest of the N.C. State student section arrived en masse, covering the PNC floor.
Walsh said that only about two seconds passed before the court was covered, leaving himself and Privette no room to move.
As Privette started to celebrate, he remembers seeing a blur of white coming toward him. Privette believes he was actually knocked to the floor by freshman guard Rodney Purvis, who was pushed backward as more students arrived on the scene.
Suddenly, Privette's wheelchair disappeared from sight.
"Let the party begin in Raleigh," ESPN announcer Dan Shulman said.
"Oh, watch the guy in the wheelchair," analyst Dick Vitale replied. "We've got a wheelchair out there – unbelievable.
"Oh, my heart goes out to him. I hope he's OK."
Before Privette knew it, his wheelchair was tipping over, knocking his glasses off his face and his iPhone 5 out of his hand.
Privette scrambled to grab his phone, which he had been using to capture the celebration on video. But with his phone or his wheelchair nowhere in sight, Privette says he began to try and protect himself.
Disoriented, Privette says only a few seconds felt much longer as students jumped up and down with Wolfpack players, unaware that Privette had been knocked to the floor.
Walsh was among the first to try and get to Privette.
"There's just so much energy and people around you," Walsh said. "It's so mad. Going to the PNC (Saturday) morning, I definitely didn't expect this to happen."
Privette, however, had considered the possibilities.
Hours before the game, Privette knew what was at stake and that even with Duke's unblemished record, N.C. State had a shot at pulling off the upset.
"It's Game Day in the ACC," Privette wrote on his Facebook page before leaving for the arena Saturday. "Ready for the Duke-(N.C) State basketball game. Ready to rush that court."
As time ticked away and the Wolfpack lead started to grow, Privette, who sits on a small platform behind the basket in the front row of the student section, prepared himself.
After meeting with PNC Center officials, Walsh made his way to Privette, asking if he wanted to be among those to rush the court and warning him of the safety concerns.
"This isn't my first rodeo," Privette told him.
Minutes later, everything was breaking loose around him.
That's when C.J. Leslie -- who led N.C. State with 25 points in the 84-76 victory -- came to the rescue.
The 6-9 forward begged everyone to back up, clearing space for Privette. Leslie then scooped the 110-pound Privette up off the floor, cradling him like a baby.
Before he knew it Privette had gone from fearing for his well being to being held by Leslie, celebrating the biggest win Privette has witnessed in person.
Once Leslie realized Privette was OK, the two started to celebrate before Leslie returned his fellow student to his wheelchair and cleared enough room to allow Walsh to escort Privette off the floor.
"Once I was in his arms, I stopped worrying about my phone, I stopped worrying abut everything," said Privette, who called rushing the floor the dumbest thing he's ever done in college. "I was going crazy -- I was loving it."
(Privette first met Leslie on the player's recruiting visit to the N.C. State as shown in the photo to the left.)
Outside of the crack his iPhone sustained, Privette is no worse for the wear.
He'd do it all over if he had the chance, calling Saturday's win the biggest he can remember and one that N.C. students will remember for years to come.
Although he had seen Leslie around campus and around Raleigh prior to Saturday's encounter, he believes the two now have a stronger bond.
Yet, for all of Leslie's efforts to propel the Wolfpack to the memorable win, it is Privette who finds himself enjoying instant celebrity status.
Walsh said he's happy for the attention that has found its way to Privette, who has never allowed his disability to stand in the way of being a regular college student. Walsh said he considers Privette among the basketball team's most loyal supporters, making the attention that has come the college senior's way even more special.
And yet Walsh, who helped rush Privette into the fray and then out of it, hopes that it's the last time he and his fellow students make news for a post-game celebration.
At least during the regular season.
"It was definitely quite the experience -- it was definitely crazy," Walsh said. "We're definitely going to be there to back (the team) the rest of the way, but hopefully, we won't have a court rush for a while.
"We'll save those for the March time frame if we get there."
