I am stressed. Extremely stressed. And my anxiety is sky high. I am taking more Diazepam each day than the amount I am prescribed meaning that I would have run out about a week early if I didn't have my secret mental meds stash, which I'm guessing, most of us have.
I have been finding it extremely difficult to concentrate as my brain seems to jump from feeling so foggy I just can't think… at all… about anything other than how fucking anxious I feel… to thinking about too many things in a fast and mixed up order… unable to concentrate on the task in hand… jumping from one internet page to the next… still getting absolutely nothing done.
And I feel so awful because my parents are spending their weekend off work up at my new house redecorating it for me and telling me just to stay here in my flat and get my two uni essays written as they are both due by this coming Friday. I've managed to get a half hearted first draft written for one of the essays but it is an absolute pile of bollocks, in fact I don't even think it's answering the question that is the essay title. It's just a big long ramble that doesn't flow properly, doesn't really go anywhere, just rambles on about nothing. I think half the problem is that I don't know how to answer the essay question… I don't know what we are supposed to include… but I do know that the shit I've written so far doesn't really include any of the stuff that we have covered in the module. So yeah… I think I'm way off track with it… it reads pretty much how my mood feels… no logical order… no nice flow from one point to the next… no explanation… just chopping and changing from one thing to the next.
My mood feels as though it is slipping and sliding all over the place but then it always does at this time of year. As soon as we hit November I seem to start struggling a lot. Once we hit December I just want to curl up in a ball and hibernate until it's the Summer time again. I know people reading this will think I have that Seasonal Affective Disorder but I don't… it's because I now start seeing Christmas trees popping up everywhere, every shop window full of gift ideas, having to buy presents for friends kids and it's like with every gift I see this big invisible boulder comes out of nowhere and knocks me to my feet… and as I try and climb back to an upright position it tries to knock me down again and again with the constant voice I hear reminding me that this is yet another Christmas to face without my little boy being here. It is immensely difficult to put on a smiling happy face for my friends kids as their little faces light up when they open all their presents and all I can think is why? Why did my little one not get the chance to experience Christmas? Why do I decorate a cold marble head stone in the cemetery instead of having my little one here helping me decorate a Christmas tree and seeing his little face light up on Christmas morning? It doesn't get any easier even though it will be seven years in February since I lost him. Every year I go through these same emotions and they hurt so bad. It still makes no sense why he isn't here with me. I don't even have a Christmas tree to decorate because there is absolutely no Christmas spirit in me at all.
Then once we finally get Christmas over with for another year and enter the new year I have a six week countdown until it's his 7th anniversary. So yeah… from now through to mid February is a very difficult time of year for me and I'm used to it pulling my mood down to super low levels. I'm used to feeling really depressed at this time of year. The majority of my hospitalisations have been this time of year. I don't know how I avoided a hospital admission last year… perhaps it was using my uni work as a distraction or maybe I was feeling a bit stronger… I'm not sure. But right now with the stress of knowing that somehow or another I need to get these two essays written and submitted in less than a week and at the same time start getting all my possessions packed into boxes to move on Monday the 9th, I'm starting to feel like I'm not really coping very well at all. I should feel some degree of excitement about moving to the new house but I just don't. I just don't feel anything about anything really. Other than moving between depressed to stressed to anxious to foggy headed and then my moments of having about 100 ideas in the space of five minutes where everything suddenly speeds up inside my head… goes too fast… then like a lightbulb blowing it all goes dark again.
I better go for now, my Mum is coming to pick me up in half an hour to have a Sunday roast dinner at the parents house and I still need to have a quick shower. I might post back later as I feel like I've got more to say but it's all a bit muddled up in my head right now. Maybe it will all make more sense later on…

Linux Certifications Overview
Linux skills certification
LPI is committed to the development of a global standard in Linux certification. We believe that such a certification program must meet the requirements of both IT professionals and the organizations that would employ them.

The LPIC Programm
The Linux Professional Institute Certification (LPIC) program is designed to certify the competency of IT professionals using the Linux operating system and its associated tools. It is designed to be distribution neutral, following the Linux Standard Base and other relevant standards and conventions. The LPIC program is designed in multiple levels. Determining which tasks were suitable to each level was done using a "Job Task Analysis" (JTA) survey. As with all of the LPIC exam development processes, the JTA was developed and executed using recognized psychometric processes, to ensure its relevance and high quality. For more information on our "Job Task Analysis" see this page. The LPIC program consists of three levels of certification: LPIC-1, LPIC-2 and LPIC-3.

But to celebrate his 52th anniversary, Barneys has done something special. Here's are cakes designed by Victoria Zagami (from Made in Heaven Cakes) – the Classic Black Pumps with Red Soles, a shoe box (which is also a cake) and the famous Sweety Charity Bag with a candle on the top. So beautiful that I do not dare to cut them and I am now just wondering how they taste.
Mr. Louboutin, may your inspiration bring us more gorgeous shoes for decades to come.

FirebugDecember 08, 2006
All the stuff I said about Xylescope a while ago? Throw in Javascript debugging and live server editing, and you get a sense of what Firebug can do.
In the past two days since installing it, it's helped me track down a half-dozen CSS headaches and some DOM issues that were driving me crazy. It's getting a lot of buzz, but that appears entirely justified; Firebug may just be the web developer tool of the year.
Check out the screencast for a better-than-text explanation of how you might use it. Great stuff, and definitely the prodding I needed to switch back to Firefox for development.
As far as I'm concerned the buzz is 100% justified.
Firebug really makes me question, "how did I ever get by without this?"
One of the things that I like about it (outside of how it helps me get work done) is that it allows me to more easily watch how an app like Gmail operates under the hood.
Absolutely agree. And if you're using Firebug, you should consider donating a few bucks as thanks. Apparently the developer considered charging for this version and decided to keep it free.
The Web Developer extension's still useful for a few things, but Firebug is just incredibly cool.
Yes, its a useful too, yes its have please me nail some insanely hard to find CSS and DOM bugs.
However be warned turn off all the error reporting for general surfing as it will slow down FF by a massive 2-3000%. The more errors on the wild published page the slower it will be to load> The greater the use of bad ajax on the page the slower the load. I disable this extension the problem goes away. I disable error reporting the problem goes away.
To put it simply, now that I've used FireBug, I can't even imagine coding websites without it.
I've just re-installed Firebug, and seems to be way better than the last time I've tried it; thanks for re-introducing me to it!
I was just wondering – as I couldn't find it in the documentation or the preferences anywhere – how can you enable the live server editing that you've mentioned?
It sure helps when formatting a Wordpress blog, and saves a lot of viewing source, but javascript debugging is a little buggy itself from time to time.
Scratch that, latest update fixed tons of Interface Issues w/ the debugger.
I just started using it (again) and it has improved indeed.
Awesome webdev tool!
I've been using it for months and I've gotten the rest of the developers here at work to start using it too. Being able to view XMLHTTPRequests is great.
I was wondering, if you just switched back to Firefox for development, what were you using before?
"I was wondering, if you just switched back to Firefox for development, what were you using before?"
Camino. Most of what I do renders identically between the two browsers, it was just easier to test in the browser I personally use.
Now I get to have two open all day.
Where this will really come in handy at least for me is working on templates produced by other people. Up to now, it's pretty much working in the dark – and horrible complicated as well.
I would love to see Firebug get recognized. It has made JavaScript programming fun, and understandable.
Let us know if there is a "web developer tool of the year." I'll be happy to throw in my vote.
In the mean time you firebug lovers could vote for it here: http://www.grupthink.com/topic/index.php5?id=475
I've seen the firebug icon on numerous sites, yet never tried it. I downloaded it after reading your post and I can't stop thinking about how much time I've wasted not having this tool installed. I do find myself overwriting css rules quite often and this tool would've cut the time troubleshooting down to almost nil.
I finally made Firefox my full-time browser, but I had to do a lot of tweaking to make it look more like Camino. I adore Camino; I just got tired of switching to FF to use the extensions.
I wrote up my tweaks for anyone else who's in the same boat:
Firefox is a little slower, and selecting text seems a little awkward. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it.
Dave, I'm loving your new sampled-photo color scheme so far.
Firebug is one excellent and useful tool. Since I started using it with my Firefox it really made code debugging easier. I agree it should really be web developer tool of the year.
What a tool ! Although in my opinion IE7 is by far faster, tools like firebug make Firefox first choice for me. Thx for the post.
I've been searching the web for tutorials on advanced CSS for a while now, and I stumbled across Firebug. I must say that this plugin is amazing. There's no better way to learn the CSS you want than to actually dissect the code, see what's wrong and what's right/how it works. If anyone is considering downloading this, do it. It will save you valuable time, and teach you more CSS through trail and error.

Washington -- Some say that Washington is a lot like high school, but this story requires a return to elementary school.
Remember roll call? The U.S. Senate has roll call too, and if you'll remember third grade, you'll know that roll call starts with the letter "A." In the Senate, that would be "A" for Akaka, as in Daniel Akaka, a Democrat from Hawaii. Near the end of the alphabet is "W," and when his name is called in the roll call, Ron Wyden, Democrat from Oregon, responds with his vote.
"B" is for Brown, among other names, as in Sherrod Brown, Democrat of Ohio. Depending on the absence or tardiness of colleagues, his vote is often seventh or eighth among Senate Democrats.
The roll call here only includes Democrats because Democrats are the ones who voted "yes" and passed what is widely known as Obamacare, formally called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The measure had to come up for votes several times as it took shape in the 100-member Senate, and some votes were merely for the purpose of cutting off debate. It took 60 votes to do that; anything short of that would have effectively killed Obamacare through the equivalent of a filibuster.
Who cast that crucial 60th vote? Who gets credit or blame for a measure Democrats hail as this generation's biggest achievement in social legislation, and Republicans scorn as the biggest intrusion of government they can remember?
Republicans who want Brown to lose his reelection in November say that Brown cast the 60th vote. The National Republican Senatorial Committee said so on April 4 and the campaign spokesman for Josh Mandel, the Ohio state treasurer now hoping to unseat Brown, repeated the claim a few days later.
Brown and his allies say that's preposterous. They note that Republicans have made the same claim about several other Democrats, including Jon Tester of Montana, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin.
So which was it? How could each of them be accused of being the 60th vote, responsible for passing the health reform law whose fate now rests with the U.S. Supreme Court?
The answer depends on how you count.
When the Senate voted for the bill on Christmas Eve, 2009, breaking through after months of delay, Brown was the seventh out of 60 senators to say "yes," a fact attributable to nothing more than his place in the alphabet. The Plain Dealer reviewed C-SPAN footage to confirm Brown's placement in the order.
But that was not his only vote on health care reform. The Dec. 24, 2009 vote was for a Senate bill that had to be reconciled with a House version. The two sides came together and the Senate finally voted, marking its final legislative victory for the Affordable Care Act, on March 25, 2010.
Brown voted eighth, as C-SPAN footage again confirms.
These two votes, however, do not necessarily mean Brown's critics are wrong, because the path to Obamacare required a series of procedural votes to end debate at critical stages along the way. Here too, however, alphabetical order prevailed when it came to Brown. Had he been tardy, he would have had to wait until all the names were called before his name would come up again, but the sometimes-scrappy Ohioan appears to have been diligent about being at his desk on time for the health care bill.
Then there's this to consider: Before the votes were taken, Democrats and Republicans kept a count of supporters and opponents, and Democrats could only round up 59 proponents to end debate -- until Ben Nelson of Nebraska agreed to join in. News coverage on that day, Dec. 19, 2009, described Nelson the crucial 60th vote to break the filibuster. Never mind that "N," for Nelson, is in the middle of the alphabet, and Nelson's actual roll call votes put him there, not 60th. What mattered was that he was the 60th senator to agree, effectively putting the total at 60 before a single name was called.
In other words, the alphabet and actual voting order were mere technicalities.
This could be considered much ado about nothing, but for the fact that Brown's opponents characterize him as the 60th vote -- the senator responsible for Obamacare passing. Republicans say that based on an Ohio ballot measure that passed in all 88 counties last November, which sought to invalidate the health law's mandate to buy insurance, Ohio voters are deeply unhappy with the health law. They want to remind voters of Brown's role in passing it.
That ballot measure could be tested in court, and Democrats say it passed because its language was confusing and intentionally misleading.
Asked to explain the logic that Brown was the 60th vote, NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh in an email, "It's a simple question with a simple answer -- had Sherrod Brown not voted for Obamacare, how many votes would it have received in the Senate? The answer of course is 59. And so with his vote, how many votes did the bill receive -- and the answer is 60."
The same answer, Walsh said, would go to Tester or any of the others who voted "yes." In a manner of speaking, any of the 60 senators could be considered the 60th vote, he said.
"Had any one of them stood up and voted against the bill it would not have become law," Walsh repeated. Democrats, he said, "rammed it through on a completely party line vote so each of them bears responsibility for the fact that were it not for their vote, Obamacare would not have become law."
Travis Considine, the Mandel campaign spokesman, had a similar answer.
"Sixty United States senators voted for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but only one of them is accountable to Ohio voters," he said.
"Had Sherrod Brown sided with Ohioans, there would have been only 59 votes. But Sherrod Brown chose to be the 60th and deciding vote, and he will have to explain why he still supports legislation so widely rejected by Ohio voters last November."
Brown's campaign communications director, Justin Barasky, rejected that assessment, noting the actual order of Brown's votes, and said it was just one of a number of false claims Mandel has made against the Democrat.
Who's right?
We went back to school with that question -- this time, to American University, where Patrick Griffin, a former Clinton White House legislative liaison and former Senate Democratic aide, teaches a graduate seminar on the legislative process. He's seen these kinds of claims before.
"They're basically saying that every senator is the deciding vote. And there is some logic to that," Griffin said, because "every vote was determinative of what was needed for that bill to pass."
Those making the claim are "making it sound more dramatic," Griffin said, but they are essentially saying that any one of the lawmakers who voted "yes" could have voted "no" and forced a different result.
"That's the logic, and it's rhetorically stretching it," he said, "but technically, every vote determined that outcome."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Hospital Punished or Shunned Employees and Applicants for Taking Prescribed Medications, Federal Agency Charged
WILMINGTON, N.C. - New Hanover Regional Medical Center will pay $146,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had charged that the center violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by prohibiting applicants and employees from working if they were taking legally prescribed narcotic medications.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. New Hanover Regional Medical Center; Civil Action No. 7:09-CV-0085), Elizabeth Saunders, Mary Eubanks, Allison Burge and other similarly situated applicants and employees were denied hire or placed on leave by the medical center because they were taking prescribed narcotic medications. The complaint alleged that such action was taken because New Hanover perceived persons taking narcotic medications as being disabled as defined by the ADA.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to the $146,000 in damages to be divided among the claimants, the two-year consent decree settling the suit requires that New Hanover Regional Medical Center revise its alcohol and drug abuse policy, its post-employment offer medical assessment policy and its medical examination policy. The company must also provide annual training to its managers and supervisors on the ADA and that ADA's prohibition against disability discrimination in the workplace. New Hanover Regional Medical Center must also post an employee notice concerning the lawsuit and employee rights under federal anti-discrimination laws, as well as provide periodic reports to the EEOC.
"We hope this case reminds employers that they must conduct an individualized assessment of an applicant's or employee's ability to perform his or her specific job even when the applicant or employee is taking legally prescribed narcotic medication," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District, which includes the EEOC's Raleigh Area Office where the charge was filed. "Employers should never assume that every person taking a narcotic drug will suffer side effects."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing the nation's laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Dr. John Krupczak of the Hope College engineering faculty has been presented the 45th "Hope Outstanding Professor Educator" (H.O.P.E.) Award by the graduating Class of 2009.
He was named the recipient during the college's Commencement ceremony, held at Holland Municipal Stadium on Sunday, May 3.
The award, first given in 1965, is presented by the graduating class to the professor who they feel epitomizes the best qualities of the Hope College educator.
Krupczak has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1994 and has been actively involved in enhancing technological literacy among non-science students throughout his time at the college. He developed and teaches the college's course "Science and Technology of Everyday Life," through which students learn about the science behind objects that they use daily, including by building items ranging from radios to keyboards. More than 1,500 non-engineering students have enrolled in the course since it debuted in 1995.
His work in the technological literacy instruction has been supported by six grants from the NSF. He has authored or co-authored numerous articles published in professional journals or made presentations during professional meetings across the country focused on teaching technological literacy for non-science students. Among other activities, he was the founding chair of the Technological Literacy Constituent Committee of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).
His scholarship has also included numerous publications and presentations concerning his research in low-temperature engineering. Prior to joining the Hope faculty, he was an engineer with the United States Department of Energy.
In January 2007 the college's Provost's Office presented him with the "Janet L. Andersen Excellence in Teaching Award," and in March 2007 the Division for the Natural and Applied Sciences at Hope awarded him its inaugural "Dean's Science Division Mentoring/Advising/Teaching Award."
This fall he was appointed a Senior Fellow of the Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE), a program of the National Academy of Engineering.
In the fall of 2004 he represented the college as an exchange professor at Meiji Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan. In addition to "Science and Technology of Everyday Life," his teaching at Hope also includes upper-level engineering courses such as "Fluid Mechanics" and "Introduction to Design."
Krupczak graduated from Williams College with a Bachelor of Science degree in physics in 1980, and from the University of Massachusetts with a Master of Science and a doctorate, both in engineering, in 1986 and 1994 respectively.

Some New Faces in Albany
Generally speaking, incumbents in Queens politics don't have much to worry about. Nestled securely in their seats, sitting elected officials are usually safe from political upstarts and challengers, and serve the public as long as they wish or until those pesky term limits force them from office. That was until 2008; the elections this year saw a number of Albany politicians lose their jobs. First, there was State Senator John Sabini, who lost his seat to Councilman Hiram Monserrate. Monserrate actually ran unopposed after Sabini struck a deal to give up his seat in return for a post running the state's gambling and racing interests. Then there was Assemblywoman Ellen Young, who after only one term was defeated by Grace Meng, who challenged Young in 2006, but was forced to drop out after some issues were raised about her residency. Then there was Councilman Joseph Addabbo, Jr., who took on State Senator Serf Maltese, who very nearly lost his seat in 2006 after defeating no-name challenger Albert Baldeo by just a few percentage points. Sensing a weakness, the Democratic Party tapped Addabbo for a 2008 run, and the move paid off. Addabbo defeated Maltese, and the Democratic Party gained control of the State Senate for the first time in decades. (Although, it has apparently been all-for-not, as evidently the members of the New York Democratic Party can't get along amongst themselves, either.) And the upsets might not be over just yet. In Northeast Queens, Councilman James Gennaro challenged State Senator Frank Padavan in a race so close that it is still undecided. Padavan holds a lead of approximately 600 votes, but there are still some 1,800 votes uncounted. Whether they will eventually be counted is now an issue before a court, and we'll have to wait until 2009 to see who will be representing that portion of Queens up in Albany.
Our Bad
In our 2008 elections recap, we said incumbents generally serve until they choose to leave office or term limits force them out; that's only partly true. The other option is just to change the term limits law, which is exactly what the Bloomberg administration and the City Council did in 2008. With the mayor and most council members being forced out of office, they decided that they just weren't ready to let go, so they extended the number of terms they could serve from two to three years. A few council members are challenging the move in the courts, noting that city voters have twice approved a referendum that would cap the number of terms at two. That challenge will likely take a while, so for now it's "Bloomberg '09."
Score Two for Queens
Development is always a big story in Queens, but 2008 gave the borough two major projects in the form of two Points. This past year, the city gave the okay to both the Hunters Point South and Willets Point redevelopment plans. The former was met with little resistance outside of affordable housing advocacy groups, and changing the name to Hunters Point South to distance the project from the oft-contentious Queens West was a wise public relations move. The latter, on the other hand, was far from a slam dunk. The City Council threatened to put the kibosh on the whole deal right up to the last minute, at which point a deal was struck between one of the council holdouts and the Bloomberg administration that would satisfy all. Well, almost all. A number of small businesses in the Iron Triangle will likely not go without a fight, and the ultimate transformation of Willets Point will no doubt be a long and messy process that will take years to complete.
Off-Track Betting Gets Back On Track
The ubiquitous green awnings that let bettors across the city know they can place their wager just about disappeared from the city for good. Off-Track Betting was a good bet to close its doors for good earlier this year, as the mayor threatened to call it quits on the gambling operation, which the way it is organized has been a losing proposition for the city. Actually, several betting parlors did in fact close their doors, and pink slips were sent to OTB employees across the city, but a last-minute deal was reached and betting on the ponies was once again as easy as walking to your friendly neighborhood OTB.
Doomsday on the Downtown Train
If 2008 was any indication, 2009 is not going to be a smooth ride when it comes to mass transit. Just before the close of the year, the MTA passed a budget that would increase fares across the board and hit riders hard in the pocketbook. But it wasn't just bad news for people who take subways and buses – drivers would also get socked under the plan, as the MTA also proposed charging a toll to cross the East River to help the authority close a budget gap that is in the billions of dollars. (Who needs congestion pricing?) That was just the proposed budget, and some of the harsher measures could be staved off if the city and state can step to the plate and pony up a little more cash for the MTA. Of course, with both the city and state governments crying about their own financial troubles, it may take a good old-fashioned Washington, D.C.-style bailout to save the city's commuters.
It's the Economy Stupid
The wave of economic stability the city was riding after the horrific events of 9/11 finally crashed this year. Few things tanked as hard as the economy in 2008, beginning with the foreclosure crisis that affected homeowners who took advantage of sub-prime loans and continuing with the crash on Wall Street at the end of the year. The cumulative effect of the crisis won't be known until sunnier financial days, but it is already taking its toll on the city and state budgets, which had to be slashed to cope with a fall in revenue streams.
The streets of Queens were tense, but relatively nonviolent after three cops charged in the death of Sean Bell were found not guilty in the spring of 2008. Bell was killed outside Club Kalua in Jamaica in November of 2006, the night before he was to get married. There were conflicting reports about what happened that night, but undercover cops monitoring the club said that they believed Bell was armed and dangerous when they opened fire. Bell was killed and two of his friends were seriously wounded that night, but no gun was ever found. After the verdict, protests shut down and clogged several major streets across the city, but protesters stayed calm and there were few arrests.

Cougars go cold as Green Wave mount big rally
Three days after one of the biggest comebacks in school history, Houston responded with its biggest collapse of the season.
The Cougars blew a 19-point lead - going without a field goal for the final eight minutes - in an 88-85 loss to Tulane at Hofheinz Pavilion.
"Terrible performance in the last eight minutes," UH coach James Dickey said.
UH held its biggest lead, 74-55, after a 3-pointer by Jherrod Stiggers with 8:22 remaining in the game.
From that point, UH missed its final seven shots and was outscored 33-11.
It was a stunning reversal from a first half in which the Cougars (14-8, 3-6 Conference USA) shot 66.7 percent and threatened to turn the game into a rout after halftime.
"I don't want to take anything away from Tulane," Dickey said. "This was all on us the last eight minutes."
The stunning loss came after UH rallied itself from a 19-point deficit to beat SMU 84-80 in overtime on Wednesday, the fifth-largest comeback in school history.
Ricky Tarrant scored a game-high 27 points, Kendall Timmons had 22 and Josh Davis added 21 for Tulane. The trio had 42 of the Green Wave's 54 second-half points.
Tulane (16-8, 4-5) seized control when its press forced three consecutive UH turnovers with less than four minutes remaining. Jordan Callahan hit back-to-back 3-pointers to key a 12-0 run that pulled the Green Wave within 79-78.
The Green Wave took their first lead on a Timmons layup with 1:47 remaining.
"You just have to lock down and be focused the last 10 minutes of the game," said guard Joseph Young, who led UH with 26 points. "That's the stuff we didn't do. We have to live and learn. We're a young team."
With UH down 85-83, Young made a pair of free throws to tie the game. Tarrant took the in-bounds pass and raced the length of the court, making a layup and free throw for a three-point lead with 2.5 seconds remaining.
Danuel House's in-bounds pass across the court was intercepted, and with that Tulane snapped 18-game conference road losing streak.
TaShawn Thomas, UH's 6-8 forward and second-leading scorer, had 20 points and eight rebounds but sat on the bench for nine minutes after picking up his fourth foul at the 12:45 mark of the second half.
With Thomas on the bench, Tulane looked inside and had 32 of its 50 points inside the paint in the second half.

Cotton: is a natural fibre favoured for its breathability - which means it's cool to wear in the summer while warm in the winter. It's hypo-allergenic and so is especially suitable for people with skin sensitivity. It's also long lasting and easy care - it's machine washable.
Elastane: a synthetic, elastane is added in small quantities to fabrics to provide stretch and shape retention. It allows freedom of movement and delivers long lasting fit. Lycra is a premium branded version of elastane.
Nylon: Nylon tights took the world by storm beginning in the 1950s and changed the textile branch – it is hard now to imagine women only wearing silk tights. Nylon is the trademark name for a chemical fibre that is composed of polyamide and is known for its exceptional elasticity.

Playful falls very nice and laminated. And it's not very transparent. I like very much
Fällt sehr schön und kaschiert spielerisch. Und zu sehr transparent ist es auch nicht. Gefällt mir sehr gut
Great layering piece for my other pieces.
Really versatile shirt. Can wear on its own or over something else
Very good to wear sleeveless dresses. Shorter – well, if woman is small.
Sehr gut über ärmellosen Kleidern zu tragen. Etwas kürzer - gut wenn Frau kleiner ist.
Cute to the top pull on clothes, etc., bigger
Hübsch zum drüberziehen bei Kleidern usw,fällt grösser aus
Color is lighter than pictured. Very thin and are still warm!
Farbe ist heller als abgebildet. Sehr dünn und gibt trotzdem warm!
Really a great color, however, the shirt is very short. I am 1.62 cm tall and I'm just so up to waist. It can rather under than over it draw. So, as it falls to the image, not loose at 50/52 definitely.
Wirklich eine tolle Farbe, allerdings ist das Shirt sehr kurz. Ich bin 1,62 cm groß und mir geht es gerade so bis zu Hüfte. Man kann es eher drunter als drüber ziehen. So locker, wie es auf dem Bild fällt, sitzt es bei 50/52 definitiv nicht.
Processing is quite nice, but the color is slightly too short cut in the original much much hellr and in my opinion.
Die Verarbeitung ist ganz schön, aber die Farbe ist im Original viel viel hellr und meiner Meinung nach etwas zu kurz geschnitten .

The Division for the Natural and Applied Sciences (NAS) at Hope College has honored three faculty with awards designed to recognize excellence in teaching or research.
Dr. Nathan Tintle, assistant professor of mathematics and Towsley Research Scholar, has received the "Dean's Science Division Mentoring/ Advising/ Teaching Award." The research team of Dr. Paul DeYoung, who is the Kenneth G. Herrick Professor of Physics and chairperson of the department, and Dr. Graham Peaslee, who is a professor of chemistry and chairperson of the department and a professor of geology/environmental science, has received the "James N. Boelkins Natural and Applied Sciences Division Research Award." Both awards were announced during a luncheon at the college on Thursday, Feb. 24.
The "Mentoring/ Advising/ Teaching Award" recognizes a faculty member who has gone beyond the call of duty in being an exceptional mentor, advisor and teacher to students. The winner is selected by a panel of students.
The divisional research award rotates in alternate years between junior and senior faculty. The winner is chosen by an anonymous panel of faculty members from among nominees by the division's department chairs and the dean.
The student nomination praised Tintle for demonstrating excellent advising, effective teaching and innovative research mentoring. The students wrote, "He undoubtedly loves what he does, and cares deeply about the success and growth of his students, far beyond the classroom. He has significantly impacted the math department as well as many of his students' lives."
Among other contributions, the nomination noted his helpfulness in guiding students as they consider their interests and career opportunities, and in providing additional assistance for students in understanding material. It also praised his work in establishing a program for students interested in actuarial careers, linking the mathematics and economics, management and accounting programs.
Tintle, a member of the Hope faculty since 2005, is engaged in statistics genetics research. His current projects include innovations in the design and analysis of genome-wide association; an interdisciplinary effort to extend the capability of the RAST (Rapid Annotation using Subsystems Technology) genome analysis service; and innovations to the curriculum of the college's statistics courses.
Tintle has received major external research support from agencies and organizations including the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In January 2008 the college named him a "Towsley Research Scholar," recognition that included additional support for his ongoing research, and in 2010 he received the "James N. Boelkins Natural & Applied Sciences Division Faculty Promise for Excellence in Research Award." His work has so far resulted in multiple peer-reviewed publications, many of which include student co-authors.
DeYoung and Peaslee have co-directed the college's Nuclear Group, students and faculty conducting research collaboratively in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, for the past 16 years. Between them, they have mentored more than 100 research students and produced more than 60 research publications associated with the group.
Among other external grant support, the group has received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) continuously throughout the 16 years, including a three-year, $295,683 grant awarded by the NSF in the summer of 2010.
Some of the research funded through the new NSF grant utilizes instrumentation at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University that was previously constructed with earlier NSF support to a consortium of colleges including Hope: the "Modular Neutron Array" (MoNA) and the Large-area multi-Institutional Scintillator Array" (LISA). The Hope researchers are using "MoNA-LISA" to study neutron-rich unstable nuclei.
Multiple interdisciplinary nuclear projects - some based at Hope, while others are conducted in cooperation with groups outside the college--apply a variety of techniques using the Hope Ion Beam Analysis Laboratory (HIBAL) at Hope. The projects range from a forensic comparison of auto glass fragments, to analyzing bee honey, to identifying metals in sediment, to measuring aerosol particles in the atmosphere.

About Me
Dr. Scott Culpepper
Professor of History
Phone: (712) 722-6327
Email: email@example.com
I specialize in the fields of Early Modern Europe and the Americas (the Atlantic World) with a particular emphasis on the interaction of politics, religion, and popular culture in human societies. Some of my particular topics of interest include Tudor/Stuart England, the influence of religion in American popular culture,the history and culture of the British Isles, and the history of Christianity. I also enjoy studying historical films and their impact on popular culture.
One of my favorite aspects of teaching at Dordt is the opportunity to teach the Core 140 and 145 courses on western culture and worldviews. My academic interests are wide-ranging, and these courses give me the chance to explore with my students all of the human experience from creation to Cold War. I enjoy probing the tough questions of life with them through critical discussion of controversial issues, rigorous engagement with primary source materials, and active learning through historical simulations.
You never know what you might encounter in my upper-level history classes. Some days students may come to class and learn about history. Other days, students will come to class and live it as we engage in historical simulations that place them in the court of Henry VIII or send them on a mission to negotiate a formal alliance between Brazil and other Latin American nations before their classmates can form their own coalitions.
My current research projects include crafting a transatlantic history of the Puritan and Separatist movements as well as a book on religion in American culture based on the course I teach. I am also working on an article about the portrayal of Mary, Queen of Scots on television and film. You can find some of my articles and other reflections on my blog

ALAMEDA — The Raiders' struggles on the field have taken their toll on ticket sales, as Sunday's home game against the Cleveland Browns will not be shown on local television, a team spokesman announced Thursday.
It's the first blackout for the Raiders in 14 games, dating back Dec. 26, 2010 — a 31-26 loss to Indianapolis.
"I'm disappointed in that, but the only way we can change that is to go out and try to get a win against Cleveland and then hopefully we won't have to worry about that at any time in the future," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said.
The Raiders are 3-8, have lost four straight games and have given up 169 points in the process.
Games against the Jacksonville Jaguars (51,634), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (52,055) and New Orleans Saints (56,880) were televised with the help of the NFL's 85 percent rule. That allows the Raiders to declare a sellout by increasing the visitors' share of gate receipts.
Remaining home games after Cleveland are against Denver on Thursday and Kansas City on Dec. 16.
McClain remains on the roster but appears headed for the waiver wire or the suspended list as the club prepares Omar Gaither to start at middle linebacker in the base defense.
A CBS Sports report Wednesday said McClain was asked to leave practice after a "heated exchange" with Allen.
Allen was keeping the information flow at a minimum, saying it was an organizational decision and offering no timetable on a resolution.
"We have to make a decision, and I really don't want to get into the details of what we're going to do," Allen said.
Gaither is an NFL veteran of 79 games, including 40 starts. He played five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and one with Carolina before being cut this training camp by the Houston Texans.
He signed with the Raiders on Nov. 14 after Travis Goethel went on injured reserve with a torn ACL.
Gaither said the Raiders have worked on filling gaps and avoiding the kind of creases allowed to Cincinnati, which rushed for 221 yards on Sunday.
"I think we've solved some of those issues we may have had last week," Gaither said. "The only way to tell, though, is to go out on Sunday and see what the results are."
"There's still a little work I have to do, but for the most part, I'm getting back to being me," McFadden said. "I'm just kind of easing into it. Just trying to get the feel of things and get back on the field and moving around."
Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said running back Mike Goodson, out with the same injury as McFadden, is at about the same point in his rehab.
Knapp said even if McFadden and Goodson are able to play Sunday, Marcel Reece likely would get most of the work while they work their way back into football shape.

Master Makeover: The Reveal!
- Removed wallpaper, wallpaper paste and painted walls grey (Cost: $150)
- Trimmed out the windows with 2.5 inch white trim and then painted the inside to create "faux" window casings (Cost: $30)
- Painted "free" craigslist dresser a light grey, trimed out the scrolly toe kick with a piece of wood, and replaced the hardware on the drawers (Cost: $30)
- Painted the espresso legs of the bench white, and sewed a grey slipcover to cover the old mocha microfibre (cost: paint $0 (on hand), upholstery fabric $3 (had on hand but purchased a couple of months ago at a designer warehouse sale)
- Switched out old headboard for a grey upholstered one. It used to be a window seat in it's previous life at a show home, but for now it is our headboard. One day it may end up as a window seat again under that large window we have. (Cost: $8 at designer sale)
- New mint and white bedding (Cost: $20 from warehouse sale)
- Sewed floral pillows (Cost: $3 for fabric from warehouse sale)
- Hung faux roman shades (Cost: $15 for velcro, wood was on hand, faux roman shades cost $24 for all three from warehouse sale last year)
The fabric for the pillows was an awesome find at the most recent designer warehouse sale I attended (I got that fabric, the bench fabric and the bedding all there). The floral pattern is lovely and adds just the right pop of colour. The mirror looks much bigger in person than in this photo, but it's still something I'd like to replace down the road.
Ahh peonies. My fave. Waking up to the smell is just divine. And of course a kissy shot of my hubby ain't too bad to wake up to either!
And again, the whole room complete. I wil try and do some posts on the faux window casings and put up some better pictures because you can't really see them in these photos. They were so cheap and easy to do, and make miles of difference!
Oh, and the paint is from Cloverdale Paint (in Canada) and it's called Excalibur. To be honest, I wish we had gone a touch lighter and a touch greiger, but I am not going to dwell on that. I am just happy to finally have a painted bedroom!
Looking back at the before photos, I can't help but ask myself "WHAT was I thinking???". I am SO happy to check this off the list!
Whaddya think?
