Fri Mar 27 10:00:00 EDT 2009, Punta del Este, Uruguay
Uruguay has a lot of classic cars kept in good condition, and driving around on the roads.
Thu Mar 26 10:00:00 EDT 2009, Punta del Este, Uruguay
Punta Del Este has a lot of foreign yachts, mostly registered in the Delaware, USA. I was surprised about this, as many were powerboats that did not look like they had motored down from the USA. It seems there are no taxes on foreign yachts in Uruguay, no matter how long they stay in Uruguay (most other countries will charge import taxes on boats that have been in their country for a certain number of months), as long as they arrive in Uruguay by water (even if only across the Rio de la Plata from Argentina).
Wed Mar 25 18:00:00 EDT 2009, Punta del Este, Uruguay
Punta del Este is a very pretty and pleasant place on the NE corner of Rio de la Plata. It is a very popular place for (mostly wealthy) people to vacation.
Now that summer is over and children are back in school, many shops are closed, and it is quiet and peaceful.
In the picture, Issuma is at anchor in front of the Conrad hotel. There are moorings and docks to tie up at in Punta del Este, and there is also a big anchorage.
The members of Yacht Club Punta del Este, and especially their Commodore, Horacio Garcia Pastori, are extremely hospitable to visiting sailors and have a very nice restaurant overlooking the picturesque harbor.
Mon Mar 23 17:00:00 EDT 2009, Piriapolis, Uruguay
The hill in the picture is near Piriapolis, Uruguay, which we passed while sailing from Montevideo to Punta del Este.
Mon Mar 23 0:00:00 EDT 2009
Isla de Flores, a pretty island in Rio de la Plata, near Montevideo, Uruguay.
Sat Mar 14 0:00:00 EDT 2009
When I was in downtown Montevideo (where the pictures are from), on a Saturday afternoon, it was mostly quiet. Most shops close Saturday afternoon, so only in the tourist areas were there many people (some, not really many) walking around.
Montevideo is a pleasant, relaxed and friendly place, as is the rest of Uruguay. The city is big enough that you can get pretty much anything you might need.
Sat Mar 14 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Montevideo, Uruguay
Sat Mar 14 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Montevideo, Uruguay
Thu Mar 12 13:00:00 EDT 2009
The weather could not make up its mind on our sail from La Plata, Argentina to Montevideo, Uruguay. It was windy, it was calm, it was rainy, it was sunny. In the photo, Karina is expressing her opinion of what the weather will do next. For most of the day, it was constant changes in the amount of sail we had up, as the winds varied from Force 2-7 (5-30 knots).
The Rio de la Plata water was muddy and choppy (because it is shallow, the waves are shorter and steeper) as we sailed. By the end of the day, the low clouds went away and the wind steadied to Force 4-5 (12-20 knots), and the sailing got nicer as night fell. We sailed all night, under a mostly clear and starry sky. The last few hours were mostly spent trying to slow down, as the wind was good and the current was with us, to avoid reaching port during darkness.
Shortly after dawn, we dropped sails, unlocked the keel (it is locked in the down position when sailing), and motored into the port of Buceo (Buceo is a wealthy suburb of Montevideo). Buceo is quite shallow, and we kept running aground as we motored over to the mooring buoy that Yacht Club Uruguayo said we could use (there is no room for anchoring). Running aground (at least on soft bottoms) is not a big deal with this boat, as long as you can raise the keel to get free, but it complicates maneuvering, as running aground stops the boat, and freeing the boat by lifting the keel means it is going where the wind pushes until you can gain control with the propellers again.
After tying to the mooring, we went ashore to clear in with the Coast Guard and Immigration, as the weather continued to improve to become a clear, sunny day, with light, pleasant winds, which we enjoyed from the comfort of the very hospitable Yacht Club Uruguayo lounge.
Thu Mar 12 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Montevideo, Uruguay
This is a list of the work that was done in Argentina and Uruguay over the last four months. It is probably only of interest to boatowners:
* replace main rudder (all steel)
* replace auxiliary rudder (all steel, all moving parts stainless steel, new bearings with ondeck grease nipples)
* replace keel pulleys (stainless steel, thicker sheaves)
* move anchor winch aft, replace hawsepipe (bigger, so chain falls freely to locker), move lower forestay forward to make room
* replace overhead/ceiling in pilothouse (mostly done, carpenters abandoned the job and i am finishing it) and starboard amidships area
* replace daytank with larger stainless steel one (with drain sump, dedicated gauge line)
* replace zinc in engine heat exchanger (looked for but never found one in hydraulic oil cooler)
* replace engine fuel filter/water separator with Racor 500 (does same thing as previous unit, but clear bowl makes it much easier to see water in fuel)
* add removable platform to cockpit to make it into an outdoor bed/lounging area
* replace wind generator with Air Breeze unit (much higher output, and has a stop switch instead of forcing you to climb the pole when it gets too windy) on 4m pole
* replace solar panel arch with welded one (not finished yet)
* replace several sheet blocks with larger, less-friction ones
* move a pair of small winches aft to use with running checkstays (not finished yet)
* repair two broken mast steps
* replace several sheets and reefing lines
* replace bearings in forestaysail (trinquette) rollerfurler, replace bearings in spare rollerfurler (anticipating it will be needed to replace yankee/genoa rollerfurler sometime)
* move liferaft from cabintop to deck beside keel for better visibility
* have liferaft tested and serviced
* replace GPS (broken) with Furuno unit
* replace batteries
* add shackle point for anchor chain snubber just below bobstay (at waterline)
* raise lifelines, replace top wire with welded tubing
* disassemble bed in bedroom and remove two water tanks underneath it to repaint where welder burnt paint off welding zincs on outside of hull
* remove and reinstall lower port keel adjuster (O-ring had failed and unit had seized)
* new yankee, forestaysail (trinquette) and storm jib were made, old yankee and forestaysail (trinquette) had luffs shortened
* genoa, main staysail (voile d'etai) and fisherman sails were all cut down a bit to fit the spaces they set in better
Look forward to an update of your web photo album with pics of the upgrade projects both underway and complete. Sound like you were able to find new bearings for the french Sarma roller furler(s) and thereby save the cost of total replacement., great news. Notice you are not using the french sail names as much these days and that makes it a bit harder to keep straight on the sail work being done.
I note you are in Uruguay and look forward to pics and stories that compare and contrast Argentina and Uruguay.
Exciting stuff on this end, I am waiting to hear details of a trip I have been told by Capt Martin Tate I am signed up for, PDQ cat delivery from Buenos Aires to ?? in Oct.
Congrats and best wishes
I reformatted it so it is easier to read now and put back in the french sail names.
The bearings in the roller furler are DIN-spec, not the same as the original, and are plain carbon steel. There are new seals which hopefully will keep the water out of the grease...will see how they look after some time at sea.
Congratulations and best wishes on the PDQ delivery.

I've been photographing Silver Falls State Park near Salem, Oregon as a two year campaign intended for a book project. On one of my all day hikes I discovered some material for an exciting new series of photos which I've entitled Water Leaf Abstracts. Water Leaf Abstracts are digital photos that are a mysterious exploration of fluid elements: water, leaves, reflection, movement, color, two dimensional space and time. The photographs were taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II using a Canon 100mm f-2.8 L series macro lens. Autumn this year has been rich in vivid color generating plenty of material for great landscape and close-up photography. The Water Leaf Abstracts are a combination of images composited in Photoshop. Most of the images are composites of 2 to 3 images; some are successful as one image with photo enhancement in Photoshop. Texture, color, movement and reflection are elements of design that when combined become expressions of abstraction that leaves the viewer with a mysterious perception.

Wow! What a deal Butch Jones gets at Tennessee. He has a 23-14 record at Cincinnati in three seasons, hardly eye popping. And Tennessee forks over $18 million for six years-- $3 million per. Plus he gets $3 million per year for his assistant coaches. Amazing how starved Tennessee is, and yet Jones is nowhere near the first choice the Vols had in mind.
But he's in the right place at the right time. He turned down Colorado-- about $2 million per and that seems like a graveyard job to me and it isn't filled yet. Colorado has a long way to go to have any semblence of success in the PAC 12. Tennessee is a good job prospect because I think the school's tradition and commitment can get it competitive in the SEC. Whether Jones can do it or not remains to be seen. But the money doled out for a coach of his record suprises me to say the least.

CHICAGO - Boston Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron has been taken to a Chicago hospital for observation after being injured during Game 5 against the Blackhawks on Saturday night.
It wasn't clear what Bergeron's injury is, or even when he was hurt. But he played only 49 seconds in the second period.
The Boston Bruins said on Twitter that there is "no further update at this time."
Chicago led Boston 2-1 after two periods. The best-of-seven series is tied at two games apiece.

Butler at Green
Saturday, January 28, 6 p.m. (CT)
Resch Center - Green Bay, Wis.
Game Notes | Video | Audio
Butler will close out its two-game road trip to Wisconsin and try
to bounce back from a loss at Milwaukee when it faces Green Bay on
Saturday, Jan. 28. The two Horizon League foes will meet at
the Resch Center at 6 p.m. (CT, 7 p.m. in Indianapolis) for a
contest that will be televised on ESPNU. Butler (12-10, 6-4
HL) dropped a 53-42 decision at Milwaukee on Thursday. The
setback snapped Butler's three-game winning streak and
knocked the Bulldogs out of a three-way tie for third place
in the Horizon League standings. It also gave Butler a tenth
loss for only the second time since 2006. Green Bay (8-12,
4-6 HL) snapped a two-game losing skid with a convincing 75-60
victory over previous league co-leader Valparaiso on
Thursday. The Phoenix, behind a solid second half shooting
performance, out-scored Valparaiso, 29-18, over the final 11
minutes of the contest to secure the double-digits victory.
Green Bay improved to 8-1 in the Resch Center, matching the
second-best home record in the league. Butler's game at
Green Bay ends a stretch of four consecutive road games. The
Bulldogs return to Hinkle Fieldhouse to host Wright State on Feb.
RACE WEEK: Two games separate the top five teams in the Horizon League. Cleveland State (7-2) is in sole possession of first place in the league standings, while Valparaiso (7-3) and Milwaukee (7-3) are tied for second. Youngstown State (6-3) is a half-game back in fourth place and Butler (6-4) sits a game back in fifth. Cleveland State visits Youngstown State and Milwaukee hosts Valparaiso on Saturday.
Butler has won five consecutive Horizon League regular season titles.
FRIGID NORTH: Butler struggled through its worst shooting performance of the season at Milwaukee on Thursday. The Bulldogs hit just 16 of 58 shots in the loss, including just five of 26 attempts in the second half. Butler's effort from beyond the three-point arc was even worse. The Bulldogs missed all seven three-point field goal attempts in the first 20 minutes of the game and finished the contest with just one three-pointer in 17 attempts! The 27.6% shooting for the game and the 5.9% shooting from the three-point line both were season-lows. Butler made just two field goals in the final 10 minutes of the game! The last time Butler shot worse than 28% was against Connecticut in the 2011 NCAA Division I National Championship Game, when the Bulldogs hit just 18.8%.
SCORE CARD: Junior Andrew Smith (right) was the lone Butler player to score in double-figures at Milwaukee. The 6-11 center hit five of 13 shots from the field and one of four from the free throw line and finished with 11 points. It was just the second time this season that the Bulldogs finished a game with just one player scoring in double-figures. Butler also had just one double-digit scorer in a loss at Ball State on Dec. 10. Smith has averaged a team-best 12.4 points over the past five games, and he's the only Butler player averaging in double-figures on the season (10.6).
Andrew Smith has scored in double-figures in eight of Butler's last 10 games.
POINT PLUS: Senior Ronald Nored, the Horizon League's active leader in assists, has continued to contribute to the Bulldogs in multiple ways this season. He led Butler in rebounds with a career-high nine and shared the team lead in steals with four at Milwaukee on Thursday. He also scored nine points and added two assists in the game. In Butler's last win at Loyola, the 6-0 point-guard led both teams in scoring with 16 points, and he added a career-high nine assists. He also had six rebounds, a game-high three steals and no turnovers in the Butler victory! Nored has averaged 10.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.0 steals over Butler's last five games.
Ronald Nored has had career-highs for points, rebounds and assists in Butler's last 10 games.
STEAL WILL: Ronald Nored moved into second place on Butler's all-time list for steals in the Bulldogs' game at Milwaukee. The Butler point-guard had four thefts in the game, boosting his career total to 186 and moving him ahead of A. J. Graves (2004-08) in the No. 2 spot on the all-time list. Thomas Jackson (1998-2002) is Butler's all-time leader with 207 career steals.
ON TARGET: Sophomore Khyle Marshall was one of just two Butler players to shoot 50% from the field against Milwaukee. The 6-6 Butler forward hit four of eight shots and finished with nine points (freshman Elliott Kampen came off the bench and hit one of two shots against the Panthers). Marshall has shot .587 from the field in 12 games as a Butler starter, and he continues to lead the Bulldogs on the season with a .556 field goal percentage. Marshall has shot 50% or better from the field in seven of Butler's last eight games.
Khyle Marshall ranks fourth in the Horizon League in field goal shooting.
SECOND CHANCE: Despite being out-rebounded at Milwaukee, 44-42, the Bulldogs did have a 15-14 advantage on the offensive boards in Thursday's game. Those offensive rebounds helped Butler to a 10-5 edge in second chance points. The Bulldogs have had 10 or more offensive rebounds in 16 of the past 18 games, and Butler has pulled down 20 offensive rebounds in a game twice this season.

Law Blog Potboiler of the Day, Starring Jim Comey
[In March 2004, Jim Comey, the deputy attorney general, was temporarily put in charge of the DOJ after Attorney General Ashcroft fell critically ill with pancreatitis. On March 10, he rushed to a Washington hospital to stop White House counsel Al Gonzales and White House chief of staff Andy Card from taking advantage of the AG.]
"And so I raced to the hospital room, entered. And Mrs. Ashcroft was standing by the hospital bed, Mr. Ashcroft was lying down in the bed, the room was darkened. And I immediately began speaking to him, trying to orient him as to time and place, and try to see if he could focus on what was happening, and it wasn't clear to me that he could. He seemed pretty bad off . . . I tried to see if I could help him get oriented. As I said, it wasn't clear that I had succeeded.
They greeted the attorney general very briefly. And then Mr. Gonzales began to discuss why they were there to seek his approval . . . . And Attorney General Ashcroft then stunned me. He lifted his head off the pillow and in very strong terms expressed his view of the matter, rich in both substance and fact, which stunned me drawn from the hour-long meeting we'd had a week earlier and in very strong terms expressed himself, and then laid his head back down on the pillow, seemed spent, and said to them, But that doesn't matter, because I'm not the attorney general . . . . There is the attorney general, and he pointed to me, and I was just to his left."
Comey, now general counsel at Lockheed Martin, delivered the above testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee today. While some details about the hospital encounter had been previously known, they had never been described in such dramatic Grisham-esque detail. Here's the testimony, and the NYT story summarizing Comey's narrative.
The issue that caused the late-night hospital showdown, according to the Times: The NSA domestic surveillance program. "The signature of Ashcroft or his surrogate was needed by the next day, March 11, in order to renew the program, which was still secret at that time," says the Times. Comey testified that when Ashcroft was ill and he was put in charge at DOJ, he told the White House he wouldn't certify the program again as to its legality.
But on the night of March 10 Comey says he received word the White House had informed Ashcroft's wife — who had banned all hospital visits — that Card and Gonzales were on their way to see her husband. I have some recollection that the call was from the president himself, but I don't know that for sure, Comey testified. So he rushed to the hospital to intervene. Read the Times story for more juicy detail, including a contentious late-night meeting at the White House involving solicitor general Ted Olson.
The surveillance program was reauthorized on March 11 without a signature from the DOJ "attesting to its legality, Comey testified. He said he was going to resign on March 12, but the Madrid terrorist bombings occurred that day, so he decided to stay on until August.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Processing 900-something students for the upcoming year is no small feat, but the job was accomplished smoothly over two days. Beginning on the first level of Schimmel and progressing upstairs, students queued up for a number of stops that guaranteed meals, shot student IDs, and provided mailboxes, among other things. Familiar faces to most, ASB officers and RAs manned a number of the stops that got students through the necessary process.
"Without ASB officers, it couldn't happen," said Cathy Downs, Student Life Administrative Assistant, about registration. "They're the backbone of this operation. They care so much about the image of the College."
Registration of new students took place on Monday, August 27, bringing in the largest freshman class in the College's history with 209 students. An article which appeared in the Statesman Journal the next day provided an opportunity for the community to see Corban through their eyes. (Read the article here)
The next day of registration brought in greater numbers when returning students arrived at Schimmel's doors. Marty Ziesemer, Corban's vice president of enrollment, estimated a total of 930 students would register, after last year's numbers came out to exactly 900. The final tally will not be known for another ten days as some stragglers make it to the registrar's office after the start of classes on Wednesday, August 29.

Many child kidnappings that take place in the united states are committed by a parent or other family member. When a non-custodial parent has taken a child, it's referred to as 'parental kidnapping.' Because child kidnappings are also frequently committed by other family members, however, the term 'family abduction' more accurately describes the action. During a separation or divorce proceeding, parents are unfortunately not always thinking clearly about the best interest of their child. In this stressful situation, problems arise that may lead to an abduction, creating additional stress for both parents as well as for the child. Although there are many civil and criminal laws to assist in the recovery of an abducted child and resources available for treatment of the psychological consequences associated with a family abduction, parents should take all steps possible to legally resolve conflicts and avoid abduction. If your child has been taken, call the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Contact a child safety program in your area for more information.

- Omo;

- human evolution
We reanalyze a hominid talus and calcaneus from Omo dating to 2.2 mya and 2.36 mya, respectively. Although both specimens occur at different localities and times, both tarsals articulate well together, suggesting a single taxon on the basis of size and function. We attribute these foot bones to early Homo on the basis of their morphology. The more modern-like tarsal morphology of these Omo foot bones makes them very similar to a talus from Koobi Fora (KNM-ER 813), a specimen attributed to Homo rudolfensis or Homo erectus. Although the Omo tarsals are a million years younger than the oldest known foot bones from Hadar, both localities demonstrate anatomical differences representing two distinct morphological patterns. Although all known hominid tarsals demonstrate clear bipedal features, the tarsal features noted below suggest that biomechanical changes did occur over time, and that certain features are associated with different hominid lineages (especially the robust australopithecines).

Heading down to the Northampton area (staying in Hadley) this weekend through Monday for a quickie vacation meetup with another couple. Bringing the tandem plus two, or three or four if I can think of a reason, single bikes -- our friends, who live in a small apartment in NYC, don't currently own bikes. All four of us are decently athletic, but I'm the only one who will regularly bike 50+ miles in a day.
Planning to do the Manhan and Norwattuck rail trails and enjoy the new connecting bridge. Other ideas? I've stayed for a couple weeks at a time in the past, and commuted a lot from South Hadley to Northampton -- but some of those hills are probably too hard for my companions.
Any dirty-but-easy trails? In addition to the tandem, which I'm not comfy taking on anything rougher than flat dirt roads, two of the single bikes I bring will likely be my and my wife's (brand new-to-her surprise) hardtail mountain bikes, and if I bring the other two single bikes, they'd be our rigid cross bikes which I can stick 42mm knobbies on.

Salesian Summer Camps
Don Bosco's oratory comes alive in a particular way each summer when numerous young people participate in
Salesian summer camps. Be they residential or day camps, young people experience a home that welcomes,
activities where life lessons are learned, a playground for making new friends and a community that helps them
grown in relationship with Christ.
These experiences are also the source of personal growth for those youth who help animate the camps.
Through responsible service they discover what it means to love and thereby their capacity to make a difference
in the lives of others.
This brief movie captures well the elements that create great summers and memories for youth who attend Salesian

BIOSS Centre for Biological Signalling Studies
Biological signalling processes are the key regulators of cellular activity in all types of cells in living organisms. A better understanding of these processes not only provides solutions to important biological problems, but also has a major impact on medical research and practice. The BIOSS Centre for Biological Signalling Studies in Freiburg uses modern analytical methods and strategies of synthetic biology to study biological signalling processes in a creative and playful way.
The main focus of research at BIOSS is to initiate and promote a dialectic process between scientists using analytical (dissecting) and synthetic (rebuilding) approaches in signalling research.
BIOSS´s signal pathway engineering projects are conducted by an interdisciplinary team of researchers and are supported by a new resource centre called the BIOSS Toolbox.

Rav Lior Speaks About His Arrest (video)
Rav Dov Lior Speaks About His Arrest

Sounds more like he was apologetic, with his long explanation, instead of simply accusing the police for ambushing him instead of issuing a subpeona. He thereby, no doubt unwittingly, plays into the hands of the corrupt, abusive police!ReplyDelete
He should have watched a Rav Kahana video before giving this video response in a most extremely meek fashion!

Google looks to buy Nortel's 6,000 patents for $900 million
Canada's Nortel Networks, once one of the largest telco titans on the planet, was also one of the world's greatest crash-and-burn stocks. Peaking at nearly $40 billion during the infamous dot-com boom, by 2002 the company was worth less than $5 billion and soon after filed for bankruptcy. Those who got out early made big bucks, but most crashed and burned right along with Nortel.
Still selling off assets to pay creditors, Nortel has put up for sale its portfolio of 6,000 patents, many in the telecom space, including wireless and 4G. And Google plans to buy the whole thing for nearly a billion dollars.
Quoth Mashable:
Google has entered into a stalking horse sale agreement with Nortel worth $900 million in cash. According to federal law, Google can't purchase the patent portfolio outright; the bankruptcy court has to give other bidders a chance to submit their offers. But it does mean Google is in the driver's seat to acquire Nortel's patented technologies. The search giant makes it clear that it's attempting to acquire Nortel's portfolio as a defensive measure against patent litigation.
Quoth Google's blog:
But as things stand today, one of a company's best defenses against this kind of litigation is (ironically) to have a formidable patent portfolio, as this helps maintain your freedom to develop new products and services. Google is a relatively young company, and although we have a growing number of patents, many of our competitors have larger portfolios given their longer histories.
Mashable observes that Google has been sued on multiple occasions for patent infringement. Author Ben Parr adamantly affirms this is about defense against Oracle, which sued Google for IP infringement over Android's java use—a technology that Oracle owns thanks to its handy acquisition of Sun Microsystems.
In the tech space, once can never have too many patents.

Saturday, January 26, 6 p.m. (ET)
Hinkle Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, Ind.
Live Stats | Audio
FIRST LOOK: Historic Hinkle Fieldhouse will host a storied men's basketball program when Temple plays Butler for the first time on Saturday, Jan. 26. The game between the two Atlantic 10 Conference foes will start at 6 p.m. (ET) and will be nationally-televised on ESPN2. Temple is the sixth on the NCAA Division I all-time list for victories with over 1,800 wins in the program's history. Only Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Duke and Syracuse have more all-time wins. The Owls (13-5, 2-2 A-10) have won at least 20 games in five straight seasons and have made five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Head coach Fran Dunphy's club won the A-10 regular season title a year ago. Temple has won three of its last four outings, including a 76-69 victory over Penn in a non-conference contest on Wednesday (Jan. 23). Butler (16-3, 3-1 A-10), ranked ninth nationally in both the A.P. and Coaches' polls, had a 13-game winning streak snapped when it dropped a 54-53 decision on a last-second shot at La Salle on Wednesday. It was Butler's first loss in 2013, and the Bulldogs' first A-10 setback. The loss came just four days after Butler had beaten No. 8 Gonzaga in a nationally-televised game on Saturday (Jan. 19).
Butler is 33-10 following a loss under head coach Brad Stevens.
POLL WATCH: Butler is ranked in the "Top 10" of both the Associated Press national poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll for the first time since Feb. 8, 2008. The Bulldogs are No. 9 this week in both the A.P. poll and in the coaches poll. Butler's victory over No. 1 Indiana on Dec. 15 vaulted the Bulldogs into the "Top 25" of both major national polls for the first time since November of 2010. The Bulldogs joined the Associated Press "Top 25" at No. 19 and the USA Today Coaches Poll at No. 25.
Butler is ranked in the national "Top 25" for the sixth consecutive week.
HOME SHOW: The Bulldogs, who are 9-0 in Hinkle Fieldhouse this season, have won at least 10 home games in each of the past 17 years. Butler was 13-6 in the Fieldhouse a year ago, and the Bulldogs are 174-25 at home since the start of the 1999-2000 season. Butler's current seniors are 49-8 in Hinkle Fieldhouse.
Butler is 78-11 in Hinkle Fieldhouse under head coach Brad Stevens.
PHOTO FINISH: The Bulldogs have had two straight games decided on the final shot. Butler upended No. 8 Gonzaga, 64-63, when forward Roosevelt Jones stole an in-bounds pass at midcourt with four seconds remaining, drove toward the Butler basket and lofted a "floater" from 10-feet out that curled in the net as the final buzzer sounded. Four nights later, it was La Salle's Ramon Galloway driving the length of the floor and scoring on a lay-up with two seconds remaining to edge Butler, 54-53. The Bulldogs, who led most of the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second half, had to come-from-behind in the closing minutes at La Salle. Senior Andrew Smith gave Butler the lead twice with baskets in the final minute, the last putting the Bulldogs on top, 53-52, with eight seconds remaining. But Galloway answered Butler's final score, and La Salle handed the Bulldogs' their first conference setback.
LEADING MAN: Center Andrew Smith continued a strong conference surge with a team-high 16 points and a game-high eight rebounds at La Salle. The 6-11 center scored Butler's final 11 points in the game, including two baskets that gave Butler the lead in the final minute. He hit seven of 10 shots against the Explorers, and added two assists, a blocked shot and a steal. In Butler's four A-10 games, Smith has averaged 17.0 points and 7.3 rebounds, while shooting 61% from the field.
HEALTH UPDATE: Butler scoring leader Rotnei Clarke, who suffered a game-ending injury in the first half of Butler's win at Dayton, has missed Butler's last three games. The 6-0 senior crashed into the basket support at Dayton after being fouled while attempting a lay-up, and he was diagnosed with a severely sprained neck. He has been cleared to begin practicing, and he could play against Temple. Clarke scored in double-figures 12 times in Butler's first 16 games this season, and he had at least a share of Butler's scoring lead in 10 of those contests. The Arkansas transfer has scored 20 or more points six times this season and 18 times during his collegiate career.
FRESH LIFT: Freshman Kellen Dunham was inserted into Butler's starting lineup when scoring leader Rotnei Clarke was sidelined by a neck injury, and the first-year guard has delivered three consecutive double-figures' scoring performances. Dunham tallied 11 points in Butler's win over Richmond, and then he posted 14 points in the victory over Gonzaga. At La Salle, he connected on three of four three-point field goal attempts and finished with 15 points. Dunham has scored 10 or more points in seven of Butler's last nine games.
AWARDS SHOW: Sophomore Roosevelt Jones put together back-to-back stellar performances in Butler wins, and his efforts earned him Atlantic 10 Conference Co-Player of the Week honors for the week of Jan. 14-20. The 6-4 sophomore from O'Fallon, Ill., began the week by recording his second double-double of the season with 10 points and a game-high 12 rebounds to lead Butler past A-10 foe Richmond, 62-47. Then, he scored a team-high 20 points, including the game-winner at the buzzer, to lift Butler past No. 8 Gonzaga. Jones, who earned the A-10 honor for the second time this season, averaged 15.0 points and 8.5 rebounds for the week, while adding eight assists and four steals. He also was named USBWA Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week, ESPN.com Player of the Week and CollegeSportsMadness.com High-Major Player of the Week.
TOP 10: Butler's victory over No. 8 Gonzaga was the school-record third this season against a team ranked in the "Top 10." The Bulldogs defeated #9 North Carolina at the Maui Invitational and then beat top-ranked Indiana at the Close the Gap Crossroads Classic. Only No. 1 ranked Duke has beaten as many "Top 10" teams this year.
SENIOR WATCH: Seniors Andrew Smith, Chase Stigall and Emerson Kampen need one win to become the fifth Butler class to record 100 victories. Over the past three-and-a-half seasons, the trio has helped Butler to a 99-33 record, including this season's 16-3 mark. Butler's 2002-03 senior class of Darnell Archey, Joel Cornette, Lewis Curry and Mike Moore currently stands fourth on the all-time list with a 100-28 record over four years. The Butler senior class record for wins is 118, set by the 2009-10 class of Willie Veasley and Nick Rodgers.
•Senior Andrew Smith has started 86 of Butler's last 88 games, including both NCAA Final Four games in 2011.
•Andrew Smith ranks third in the A-10 in field goal percentage (.577).
•Andrew Smith stands sixth on Butler's all-time list for field goal percentage (.553).

•Rotnei Clarke ranks sixth in the Atlantic 10 Conference in three-point field goal percentage (.444).
•Rotnei Clarke currently ranks fifth in the A-10 in scoring (16.3).

•Roosevelt Jones has scored in double-figures in four consecutive games for the first time in his Butler career.
•Roosevelt Jones is averaging 13.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in Butler's last 10 games.
•Roosevelt Jones has hit 35 of 55 (.636) free throws in Butler's last 10 games. He shot 40% from the free throw line through Butler first nine games.

•Alex Barlow played a career-high 34 minutes at La Salle.

This question arose because I recently allowed a support technician help me with an problem with an installation of a software product on my computer. The support technician took remote control over my machine and proceeded to install the software, even agreeing to the EULA. I specifically asked him if he needed me to approve the EULA agreement, but he said he would do that himself.
This made me start to wonder if I would now be bound by the conditions of the EULA since I did not physically agree to them.
So - that said my question is - if you or your company provide remote technical support:
1) Do you have a policy of how technicians should handle EULA agreement dialogs while they are in control of a customer/client's computer?
2) Do you have a statement in your "terms of use" for remote support that covers these types of scenarios?

Apparently Alford May steal some of "his" recruits and the whine-fest is on!
Too bad. It would have been nice to have Alford's recruits stay at Iowa. There would be 3 scholarships taken up.
He could be in some trouble already though if he tried to lure the one that has already signed. Once that letter is signed he's no longer a recruitable player until he's released from his commitment.
Wouldn't that be funny if Alford gets an NCAA violation before he even coaches a game at NM!
Ron Maly takes some shots at Alford as well:
If he was still under contract with Iowa and he still has not signed one with New Mexico is it still illegal?

No matter what happened it's not illegal, just a NCAA rules violation. I doubt anything will come of it. Steve is a pompus *****, but I doubt he is dumb enough to do what he has done without being covered in some way.
How can Iowa fans complain about Alford when Brands brought three Va. Tech wrestlers to Iowa with him?
Steve has his own blog at UNM:

Where was the questioning of this practice from the Gazette and Maly, when Haluska tranferred to Iowa.
Seems a little l,ike "ok for us to do it to other schools, but not have it done to us."
That is, unless you believe that there were no converstations between Steve and Adam
Iowa is Iowa. When they win, the fans pretend its because of the fans. When they lose, the fingers are pointed. When they find something they don't like that they've actually done, the double standard comes out. Basically, Iowa is the closest thing to God.

Exactly, Virginia Tech accused Brands of doing this and it was VT being whiners. Now it's an unfair practice and the NCAA should look into it.
Yes Brands lied to the media, and the kids. Yes Alford did something questionable in talking to Kelley about New Mexico. Yes, Iowa sucks, and their fans are arrogant a$$es. Yes, it is funny to watch them rally around Dana Altman after spending a week saying he wasn't good enough for them. Yes, it was funny watching them go to the Tennessee boards and announce that Pearl was theirs, only to get shot down. Yes, it was funny watching them miss the NIT in a rebuilding year after the coach had been there for 8 years (sounds eerily familiar).
Did I miss anything??? Alright now back to the normal "how good is the football team going to be threads," they are more interesting than this.
Jeffrey A Crawford
Aw, shoot, while we're showing the Hawks to be world class hypocrites with the Brands and VT thing, let's not forget that it was Gable that got NCAA- slapped for "misinterpreting" the recruiting rules for wrestling. I don't recall Hawk fans being terribly upset about that, either. The post about them thinking they are God is pretty much right on.
I bleed Cardinal & Gold
Is Gary Barta capable of hiring a great coach or is he another Steve Pederson of nebraska ( aka Houston McNutt et al before landing Callahan).

Only 4 programmers
View Single Post
This is part of the problem with integrated development environments, specifically with using them to learn. When you're au fait with everything they do that's the time to start using them.
No, there are several file types. cpp and h are the source files, but that's just the start.
The first step is to preprocess the file. This sorts out the lines beginning with #, so the #includes, #if, #else etc. Also the preprocessor typically strips out comments.
The output of the preprocessor is fed into the compiler, which produces object code. This is almost executable, but has a variety of links into other object files andlibraries that need resolving. That resolving is the job of the linker which takes multiple object files and produces an executable.
With an IDE you just hit Build and it gives you an executable. That's why you shouldn't learn with an IDE but at the command line.
In your code, main calls function add() which is in a different source file. If you just tried to make an executable with main.cpp, you'd get an unresolved symbol error. Try it - familiarise yourself with that error because you'll see a lot of it and it's useful to know how to fix it.
Have a look at the files in your Debug folder where you created the project. Chances are you'll find main.obj. That's the object code.
If you now add post.cpp to the project...
[aside: if you have JUST post.cpp in the project and try to build the executable, then the unresolved symbol will be main itself]
... then this will define add(), which will be in post.obj, and the linker will now correctly build main.exe.
At the moment, post.cpp doesn't need to include iostream.h or use namespace std. You can remove both those lines and it will work fine.
Now, there is another error in the code. main.cpp has no definition for add(), hence the error you get. So there are a couple of ways of doing this. You can prototype add() directly in main.cpp by adding "int add(const int x,const int y);", which is a function prototype, above main(), or you can create the prototype in a header file and #include it in main.cpp. You don't need to include that header file in post.cpp (not yet, anyway, you might if post.cpp will be extended with other functions that call each other and aren't in the right order for the compiler to know what they are before they're used).

Oregon State authorities are investigating a Christian wedding cake baker (Aaron Klein Sweet Cakes by Melissa) for refusing to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. He declined the work, and has in the past, saying it was in conflict with his conscience and religious beliefs which are plainly on show in his private business.
The gay couple have complained and the State Department of Justice is investigating (Civil Enforcement Division), exactly as happened to the couple who own Elane Photography in New Mexico who were actually fined (heavily) for declining to accept a photography job for a gay wedding which are not even legal in that State. (Update: Gay-Marriage vs Freedom of Faith, Elane Photography v. Willock (NM Supreme Court). Like Elane this case will test religious freedom and the right of State or Federal law to compel religious freedom.
I have to ask the question. In championing "rights" and "freedoms" for gay couples to get "married," are we with the other hand going to deny or trample the "rights" of people of conscience or compel them by Federal law to do things that are in conflict with their religious beliefs?
Watch the video and see what you think? If we pass the Redefinition of Marriage Bill in New Zealand, cases like this are enviable in New Zealand, despite claims to the contrary from the pro-Wall bill advocates. Influential liberals in NZ, in getting Civil Unions passed, promised the public there was no need for later gay marriage. Rt Hon. Helen Clark, Hon. Chris Carter and many other leaders were adamant about that. Yeah Right!
This Oregon bakery issue (Sweet Cakes by Melissa) and Elane Photography in New Mexico, cuts to the core of the matter for me. If we pass the bill, there will be different tiers of "marriage" acknowledged and not acknowledged as valid, in our society regardless of the law. The law will be an ass. Muslims and Sikhs – as they have already indicated in NZ – will seek exemptions. Christian ministers will be given exemptions. Churches, we are told, will not be forced to hire out their halls or facilities for same-sex weddings if they feel uncomfortable, etc. But you can bet, they will be pressured.
In a post on 27 July last year, I said this,
- "4. The bill will create different tiers of understanding, and confusion, about a basic social, historic and cultural enterprise, "holy matrimony" as churches, religions, and various cultural groups will have to be free to opt out and not recognize same-sex marriages which violates their religious convictions (and human rights?). Different tiers of legitimacy will play havoc with social cohesion, and law, in NZ."
Read the full piece here and tell me what you think (Two Left Shoes: same sex marriage bill NZ).
Chicks on the Right in America ask regarding Sweet Cakes by Melissa,
"This case is fascinating, because…the Constitution are going to go head to head on this issue. …I've got mixed feelings about it, frankly. I mean, you have the right to freely practice your religion, of course. But if you choose to establish a business in a state that requires you to provide equal services to everyone regardless of their sexual orientation, then you kinda own that decision, right? The question is, just how far does that state statute go? Are churches required to perform gay wedding ceremonies? Because if that's the case, there's a huge problem with the statute itself. Which is why this case is really fascinating.
From a business perspective, denying service to a gay couple is a really easy way to miss out on the couple hundred bucks you'd have otherwise made, and that's kinda dumb. But from a personal perspective, why shouldn't the baker have the right to choose who he does and doesn't serve? Shouldn't the free market sort out that problem? If people get pissed off that he doesn't make cakes for gay weddings, then they'll get their gay wedding cakes elsewhere."

Lowton told international recognition "entirely in his own hands"
Paul Lambert has urged Matt Lowton to continue his rapid top-flight ascent.
Lowton has been an ever-present this season and Lambert says his performances have been immensely consistent all term.
Lambert hailed Lowton as the man-of-the-match "by a mile" against Sunderland as he hit top-form against the Black Cats.
But Villa boss Lambert wants that level of performance to continue over the next few years, rather than the next few weeks or months.
He said: "I am pretty sure the praise he's getting is terrific for Matty himself.
"But the most important thing is you don't rest on that.
"He's been here for less than a season. It's important you do that year after year after year.
"Once you start to do that, make a right name for yourself and start to win things and start to progress your career, then people can say things.
"He's an unassuming young lad. He's fitted in really well.
"You know what you're going to get with Matty with his consistent performances."
Asked whether England recognition could come, Lambert added: "It's entirely in his own hands.
"His performances over the course of the year have been consistently high.
"I thought the other night he was outstanding. He was man of the match by a mile.
"We got him for a million pounds or whatever it was and he's been excellent."

By Nick Venable 2 years ago comments
Oh, that wacky Ken Jeong. Youve seen him in almost every kind of comedy imaginable over the past decade, but rarely in a meaty leading role. That will all possibly be changing soon, as Jeong has been given his own MTV pilot, suitably titled Ken Jeong Made Me Do It. (Understandably, this wouldnt be the title if he werent involved.) Can Jeong do coming of age comedy, or is he only good at delivering borderline offensive material with all or part of his ass sticking out?
The only comedy pilot currently being developed at MTV, Ken Jeong Made Me Do It will center on an emotionally fraught 22-year-old named Andy who sees his girlfriend in an act of infidelity and soon gets into an accidental fender bender with Jeong, who will play himself. (He play himself long time, is the kind of sentence I would expect him to say.) Jeong sympathizes with Andys situation and makes it his goal to turn Andy into a better man. It would be refreshing to see Jeong play a confident advisor version of himself, though Im sure the over-the-top accents and gaudy costumes wont be far behind.
The pilot was written by actor Andy St. Clair (Arrested Development) and Paul OToole (Sirens), and existed at MTV without a star, its existence depending on who they could get to play the mentor. And since Jeong is a comic actor capable of turning offbeat into mainstream, its a solid grab for MTV, a network known for turning people into stars rather than attracting preexisting ones.
And MTV is apparently willing to bend to Jeongs schedule to make this happen, as THR reports the pilot's filming will be fitted around Jeongs schedule and wont affect the production of Communitys Season 6. Honestly, I have to think a Jeong MTV show would earn bigger ratings than a Yahoo! Screen season of Community, but Ill just have to wait and see if Ken Jeong Made Me Do It gets picked up to series before rolling the six-sided dice on that one.
Jeong is everywhere now, zipping from Michael Bays Pain & Gain to Todd Phillips The Hangover Part III with voice roles in Bobs Burgers and Turbo sprinkled in. He recently joined the cast of the currently-filming Ride Along 2 and will appear in Ari Sandels high schooler comedy The DUFF next year.
Its not clear when the Ken Jeong Made Me Do It pilot will get made, but you can bet it will be good enough for MTV to pick it up. Now all they need to do is find a good-looking twentysomething to play the role of Andy. However will they find one of those in Hollywood?

Says Hollywood Reporter:
For maximum impact, they should wait until the New Hampshire primary.
The one-hour drama about the nation's first female president (Geena Davis) didn't catch on in the ratings, having been pulled off Tuesdays earlier in the season and failing to get traction Thursdays at 10 p.m. It was yanked off the schedule weeks ago and wasn't on the ABC 2006-07 primetime schedule announced early Tuesday.
But ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson said at a meeting with reporters that "Commander in Chief" wasn't completely retired yet. McPherson said he had been pitched an idea for a two-hour movie by creator and former executive producer Rod Lurie, and was considering it.
Lurie would write and direct it. It isn't clear how many of the cast members would return.
"We're still debating it (whether to go ahead) and will decide over the summer," McPherson said.
