Here is the sixth in a series of Registration & Curriculum updates
for the Fall 2010 Semester. Please read this entire message, which
contains 2 items:
(1) Newly-added course: Law 904-004: Sel. Prob. Con Law: 4th, 5th, 6th Amendments (Justice Louis Butler); meets Tuesdays & Thursdays 2:25-3:45; 3 credits; pass-fail optional; meets Con Law II requirement; limit: 15 students; Call Number 77850.
Course description: Taught by a former justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, this class will look at the constitutional underpinnings of criminal procedure, with a focus on the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Topics covered will include a detailed look at confession law, right to counsel issues, guilty, no contest and Alford pleas, motion practice tied to constitutional issues (including eyewitness identification questions, arrests, search and seizure, double jeopardy, discovery, and public and speedy trial issues), jury trials (including the right to present a defense, the confrontation clause and its evolution, and compulsory process), jury trial waivers, and appeal rights. Class size will be limited to 15 students, with grading based on a research paper with a topic selected by the student and approved by the instructor (20 pgs. for three credits, with an outline and draft submitted for those who want to satisfy the legal writing requirement) and classroom participation. This class will satisfy the Constitutional Law II requirement.
(2) Newly-added course: Law 814-001: Appellate Advocacy I (Justice Louis Butler); meets Mondays 9:55-11:55 a.m.; 3 credits; pass-fail optional; limit: 16 students; Call Number 77866.
Course Description: Taught by an appellate practitioner and former justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, this class will highlight the good and the bad of appellate advocacy, as seen through the eyes of a former appellate practitioner, trial attorney, trial judge and appellate judge. Students will explore what goes into some of the practical and strategic decisions that have to be made in identifying what issues to litigate on appeal, as well as what issues to abandon. Students will also learn what the judgeslook for in effective brief writing, oral advocacy in an appellate setting, and what will catch a justice's eye when drafting a petition for review. The instructor will also present a behind-the-scenes look into how decisions are made by the appellate court. The class will be a three credit seminar, limited to 16 students (1 two-hour meeting per week). Grading will be based on a number of projects, including the drafting of an appellate brief, arguing the briefed case before the class, and then drafting a petition for review, as well as classroom participation. Students will also have an opportunity to view an actual argument before the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and then critique it.
Thank you for your attention.

DmC, Ninja Theory's contentious reboot of Capcom's popular Devil May Cry series, has been a hot topic on gaming forums since Dante's young new look was revealed almost two years ago. The game has received minimal positive responses from fans of the series, who feel Capcom is trying too hard to appease a casual Western audience.
Is the reboot worthy of the Devil May Cry moniker?
I thought the demo was very good. Has a lot of fun sarcastic attitude. I liked the old games and I like this game so far too.
Dante's back?!??!?!?
Did Capcom really ditch the immature swearing white trash smoking imposter ?!!!?!?!?
Oh.. no, wait.. you mean him :(
He isnt Dante. Dante isnt a degenerate.

Pentax's identical digital duo
Two compact shooters, two model numbers, but somehow one camera
Posted in Personal Tech, 29th July 2008 14:28 GMT
Pentax has been relatively quiet of late, but the manufacturer's sneaked back onto the scene with two compact cameras so similar that not even a strip of 35mm film separates their differences.
Pentax's M60 has 10Mp and a 5x optical zoom
On megapixels, the new E60 has the edge over its rival M60 because whereas the M60 has a paltry 10-megapixels, the E60 has a massive 10.1-megapixels. But if the quality of a compact's zoom is what makes you buy a camera, then the M60 will likely be your choice because it has a 5x optical zoom, whereas the E60 only has a 3x optical zoom.
Both cameras have decent sized LCD displays, with Pentax having awarded the E60 a 2.4in screen and the M60 2.5in display.
The E60 has 10.1Mp and a 3x optical zoom
Shake reduction features on both models of shooter to ensure blur-free images and although each includes face detection, the M60 is able to simultaneously pick out up to 32 faces. Perhaps the E60 only recognises 31 faces?
The M60 also has the benefit of smile and blink detection, whilst the highest ISO sensitivity available on either shooter is 6400.
Pentax's M60 will be available in August for around £90 (€130/$260). A release date or price for the E60 hasn't been unveiled, but we're guessing neither will be too dissimilar from the M60's.

Want to see and catch more fish — and more types of fish — than you ever have before in one spot?
Savvy captains (and scuba divers) know the secret: Fish of all shapes and sizes start packing the Lowcountry's nearshore reefs in May.
Anchor up at one of these reefs this time of year and look down through the warm but still relatively clear water. Often, the sun-streaked blue depths will be filled with fish.
Huge schools of spadefish circle above the sunken ships and other materials that make up these artificial reefs. Rising to warm themselves in the sunlit shallows, the spades will sometimes starting "finning" the surface by the hundreds.
Cobia, some topping 60 pounds, mix in with the spadefish. These curious, brown and white bruisers often swim right up to a boat, giving anglers pulse-racing opportunities to sight-cast for trophy-caliber fish.
On the outside edges of the fray, schools of silvery Spanish mackerel might be busting cigar minnows at the surface. Many of these small Spanish fall prey to the season's first big king mackerel.
A little deeper, below the surface action, gear-busting amberjack swim in tight formations. Though often derided by anglers as trash fish, these tough-fighting and aggressive predators are beloved by saltwater fly fishermen who yearn to test their skills (and fishing rod strength). Anglers often coax AJs up to the boat and start impressive feeding frenzies by tossing out live menhaden.
Below it all, hordes of black sea bass (the season restarts June 1), snappers and grunts swarm the reef structure. If the reefs are in 80 feet or more of water, you can count on vermilion snapper, triggerfish and grouper to join the party.
Sound too good to be true? See for yourself. Pick a calm day and head out to the Charleston 60, Y73, Comanche, Georgetown Nearshore Reef or Kiawah Reef (to name only a few). Make sure to bring a reef anchor and plenty of bait and tackle. You'll need it all.

Evelyn Marie Edwards, 58, of Shelbyville, a native of Lincoln County, passed away Monday (Nov. 19, 2012) at Adams Place in Murfreesboro after a brief battle with diabetes and a stroke.
Memorial service was held Saturday at First United Methodist Church with Dr. Lloyd Doyle and the Revs. David Adams and Jon Bell officiating.
Evelyn was born April 9, 1954, in Fayetteville to Nola Gill McGee of Fayetteville and the late Reager McGee.
Evelyn grew up in Fayetteville. She graduated from the expanded function dental hygiene program in the School of Allied Health at Vanderbilt University in 1975. She had 38 years of experience in both private practice (13 years) and public health (25 years). Evelyn worked in the school-based dental sealant program in the South Central region.
Evelyn worked in public schools helping all children improve their oral health. She conducted a wide variety of preventive dental programs including application of dental sealants, oral health education, screening and referral programs, teacher in-service training and community health fairs. During her 25 years of service to public health, she has educated tens of thousands of children, sealed countless amounts of teeth and improved the overall health of two generations of Tennessee's children. Tennessee was the first state in the U.S. to have school-based sealant programs. Evelyn was the dental hygienist who placed sealants in some of the early programs in the 1970's.
In 2008, Evelyn became a hygienist for Dr. James Clark in Shelbyville.
Evelyn helped write Oral Health: A Guide for Tennessee Teachers, a teacher resource manual that was placed in all schools in Tennessee. She also co-authored and edited the Oral Health Services Section's Preventive Oral Health Guidelines, which serves as the reference for public health preventive dental programs in Tennessee. For several years, Evelyn served on a program committee for the Department of Health's annual Oral Health Conference. She served on a committee of dental public health professionals who developed an Internet website by authoring fact sheets for adults, activity sheets for children, and guidelines and information for dental professional.
Evelyn served on a statewide committee to develop and implement an annual poster contest in which third and fourth grade students, throughout Tennessee, could promote the principles of good oral health through their artwork. The Smile! Tennessee poster contest was a great success and culminated in an awards ceremony each year in the State Capital.
In 2002, Evelyn received the Colgate National Community Outreach Award from the American Dental Hygienists Association. This award was presented to her at their national meeting in California. She was selected as the recipient for her work in developing a smokeless tobacco program to use with middle and high school students in Tennessee schools.
As the anti-fluoridation issue grew in Tennessee over the past several years, Evelyn had attended numerous local utility district meetings and prepared information on the benefit of community water fluoridation. In January 2006, Evelyn gave testimony at a Tennessee General Assembly legislative hearing regarding the public health benefits of community water fluoridation.
Evelyn had been a member of TPHA since 1978, having served on the registration, nominations and bylaws committees. This year, she chaired the poster session committee. In addition, she is a past chairperson and board representative from the Dental Section. Evelyn is past president of the Tennessee 2006 Dental Hygienist Association and currently served on their Board of Trustees. She received their Dental Health Educator of the Year Award in 2002 and again in 2005.
Evelyn was also a member of the Tennessee Academy of Dental Hygiene, an organization which promotes continuing education and provides scholarship opportunities and served as president of that organization. She was appointed by the governor to a three-year term to the Board of Dentistry in March 2001 as one of two Dental Hygiene members.
In addition to her mother, she is survived by her husband, Bill Edwards, of Shelbyville; two sons, Chuck Edwards, and his wife, Tavia, and Joey Edwards, and his wife, Brooke, all of Shelbyville; six grandchildren, Palmer Edwards, Reager Edwards, Griffin Edwards, Harlee Holton, Brady Edwards and Riley Sissom.
Memorials may be made to the American Diabetes Association or to a scholarship set up at Heritage South Credit Union to help future dental hygiene students.
Feldhaus Memorial Chapel assisted the family with the arrangements.

Today's picture shows an outdoor classroom at the Tuskegee Institute. The students are being trained in the finer points of Botany. I continue to be impressed by the dress and decorum of students back at this time. The picture was taken about 1900.
I am happy to announce that our trip to DFW was successful, and we were able to safely see the lovely Ms. EAM through the final leg of her trip home. We got home about 9:00 last night. I am sure it will take her a few days to recover from the trip, and then I am excited to hear from her many stories of her life in East Africa.

Yes fascinating.Especially the photo with the shackled sled dog AGs and FR16s being led by their lightly modified recasted overlord.Add a Deva to the team and you have the complete gene pool.It does show the identical weird dent area at the shoulder as the AG torso quite well though if you take off your rose colored glasses its quite striking.Im sure this will be very profitable for him.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow. You sound bitter.Delete
I think the DeMuse doll's face is absolutelly stunning!! Sadly I can't see the photo gallery on the ithings, because it is in flash. I will ty to see the photos tomorrow. She is gorgeous, and she should photograph beautifully *sigh* by the way... What was her price tag??ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't know what the price tag was. I don't have her.Delete

No not bitter far from bitter actually.More angry that someone can take other small companies and artists hard work,modify and recast it and make bank doing it and noone blinks an eye.If this doll were examined logically it really isnt hard to see it is an assemblage of several recasted parts.The so-called progress pics are end stage pictures that dont show any sculpting at all I could spray some dissasembled doll parts and have the same pics to show.Its a bootleg.Im not talking about inspired by or similar in style to or the same type of joint style.They are exact copies.Its wrong.No offence to you personally Terri.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for explaining your opinion further. You make much more sense now rather than telling me to take off my "rose colored glasses." Seems to me that doll manufacturers are constantly copying eachother or the fashion industry.Delete
I was a bit surprised at the leash picture but I don't know Nigel's intention. Perhaps I will ask him!
I think so, too :)ReplyDelete

Yeah, everything except for true evaluates to false.
People say Javascript has some typing oddities too.
Clearly it doesn't actually affect the quality or the usability of the language - JS seems to be used just fine.
It does make sense in a strict typing sense.
And if you don't go the C compatibility route, wouldn't it make more sense to throw an exception when trying to treat a non-boolean like a boolean instead of saying "everything but boolean true is false"?
No, it would make sense to treat nonzero integers as true, which is what C does.
To be perfectly honest, I don't think it makes sense to confuse integers with boolean values. If you want it to be not 0, use (something != 0). Is it really that hard to say "if (myValue != 0) {...}" instead of the somewhat cryptic "if (myValue) {...}"? Is myValue a undefined? Is it 0? I find it interesting that people who use a strongly typed language accept that an int can also be a boolean.
If the bug is fixed as requested in the bug report, everything will default to true now, with only null and false being false.
This actually makes sense, as it would bring it in line with many other dynamically typed languages.
For many languages where all types are reference types, it's pretty common to have the null reference to evaluate to false, and everything else (including integers, and specifically including 0) be true. For another similar example, take Scheme, where everything that's not the false value (#f) is true. Granted, this makes more sense for dynamically typed languages, but then Dart is one - its static typing is opt-in.
What's really weird is reversing this, as Dart does - not "false is false, everything else is
Clearly it doesn't actually affect the quality or the usability of the language - JS seems to be used just fine.
That is a bit ironic talking about a language designed to replace JS because Google thinks JS is "unsalvageable".
Clearly it doesn't actually affect the quality or the usability of the language - JS seems to be used just fine.
Actually, JS sucks things I can't write without pissing off the profanity filter. Very few people use it without some library (prototype, jquery, etc.) shielding them from its worst. And it still blows. But it's there in all the browsers, so if you need web-applications with client-side functionality, that's what you use.
If anyone were to replace JS with a real programming language, with the same amount of browser-support, you can count me in on jumping ship.
Check out Cling. It is a perfect example of how C/C++ could be the "scripting language" used instead of ECMA. Think CINT for the browser. IMHO all scripting languages should be usable but...
http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/what-cling [root.cern.ch]
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
int array[8];
for(int x=0; x<8; x++)
You don't need flush after an endl - endl is literally << '\n' followed by a flush.
Force of habit. I've always added a forced flush to the last output on CINT scripts to ensure a hang doesn't effect output. In an actual C++ application, that I've debugged and will strip, it would get removed. Sometimes. Maybe. OK I'm lazy it wouldn't get removed.
0 == false
Yeah, everything except for true evaluates to false.
Hmm, that is a bit stupid... I think the opposite rule — everything evaluates to true except for false (used by e.g. Lua) — makes a lot more sense. It'll trip up C programmers too, but at least it naturally supports the "have some value" idiom, where you can use false as an out-of-band "not initialized" value in statements like "if (var) do-something-with-var", or "if (! var) var = init-value;".
I get the feeling that the reason Google keeps coming up with new languages is not really that exis
I think the opposite rule — everything evaluates to true except for false (used by e.g. Lua) — makes a lot more sense.
Actually, Lua counts both 'false' and 'nil' as false. Since Lua silently returns nil for almost any reference to an undefined or missing variable, field, parameter or index, in practice the boolean checks in Lua feel rather "lax".
And this:
int a, b, c
Just looking at it makes me want to shove a stick into my eye.
Maybe Dart is worth a second look?"
nope! sorry google, we are still not interested
Every few days someone comes by with a new programming language claiming to be the best thing since sliced bread. Nobody every shows a scrap of proof.
There's nothing new to be done. There are only easier and safer ways to do it.
I recently saw a presentation that explained how all progress in programming language came through taking stuff away. Take away GOTO, take away global variables, take away lots of other stuff. Taking options away seems to give us more maintainable, easier to read programs with less boiler plate code. Taking away null seems like a good next step that Dart apparently didn't take.
..and then realise that it is unsupported on a major platform
Java is used because of it's near universal support
JavaScript is used because of it's near universal support
C/C++ is used because of it's near universal support
Python is used because of it's near universal support
There are far better languages, in all categories, but using them is pointless if the platform you are targeting does not have support for it; or the library, or program you want to use cannot interact with it
http://code.google.com/p/jdart/ [google.com]
Web is boring
Now I could just Google this, but I'm wondering what ever happened to Google Go [wikipedia.org]. Anyone here using it?
I guess Google Go just stopped.
Shit, you think Slashdot has a fucking profanity filter??
Shit, you think Slashdot has a fucking profanity filter??
People keep saying that, I think what it means is that they either can't be bothered to, or just can't, write what they actually think in English.
If there was a profanity filter this place would be much less interesting.
Like any other new programming language of the past decade, Dart sounds like a solution to problems I don't have.
Show me something that I can't do in existing, established languages. Or show me something that works considerably easier, faster or better - with the stress on considerably.
Otherwise, no matter what your pitch is, I simply don't need it.
Being considerably easier, faster or better to program in than javascript shouldn't be too hard. I've been wondering for years why nobody has proposed a superior replacement for javascript yet.
What I'd like to see is a way to write the client and the server components of a typical AJAXy application as a single work. When I look at the Dart tutorials/etc I see lots of examples of how the language can handle either side of the link, but nothing really that unifies the application.
If you could just describe what the application needs to do then the compiler would put all the logic possible on the back end, and then only relegate to the front-end presentation, validation, and maybe logic that is mor
What I'd like to see is a way to write the client and the server components of a typical AJAXy application as a single work.
I agree. The closest thing I've found so far is the Vaadin Framework [vaadin.com] for Java. Yes, it's another Java framework. No, it's not quite there in terms of being the best imaginable solution for what you're proposing. But practically, it's the best that I've found. It has some rough edges, but overall, I've been impressed at how well they let you write the logic once, and their framework takes care of separating the front and back ends.
Otherwise, no matter what your pitch is, I simply don't need it.
Built-in message passing? Multi-threading without shared resources? Weak typing?
I know no other imperative language that offer that combination. Optional libraries - yes. But not at the core of the language. And optional libraries are pain to handle in the long term.
In the end, it boils down mostly to the simple fact: Dart is supported by Google AND Google has sufficient resources to kick start widespread adoption of the new language.
Dart sounds like a solution to problems I don't have.

That was fast. An Angry Birds crossover with the Star Wars film franchise was just teased on Friday, and today Rovio has spilled details on the project. The game will hit iOS, Android, and PCs on November 8, as each bird occupies a familiar role from the classic trilogy.
Red Bird will be playing the role of Luke Skywalker as an X-Wing pilot, for example. Lucasfilm vice president of licensing Paul Southern told USA Today the two characters have "kind of similar" personalities, which should come as a surprise to those of us who didn't realize Red Bird had a personality. Other birds will fulfill the roles of Chewie, Leia, Han Solo, and Obi-Wan, and the game will feature piggy versions of Darth Vader and Stormtroopers.
The game will also feature familiar Star Wars locales, like Tatooine and Hoth. It will make use of the gravitational physics from Angry Birds Space too. As long as we're mixing elements of the various spin-offs, is it too much to hope for constructing a Death Star a la Bad Piggies building system?

Nazareth singer Dan McCafferty was rushed to the hospital last Saturday (Aug. 24) after experiencing shortness of breath while performing in Switzerland. It's since been determined the veteran vocalist suffered a stroke.
As reported by Classic Rock, the incident marks the second time in two months McCafferty has experienced breathing problems during a performance. The first incident occurred on July 9 in Cranbrook, Canada, when the singer collapsed just 30 seconds into the band's opening song. An associate of the group told Classic Rock, "Dan is alright, but I think we will not see more [tour dates]."
McCafferty's health woes come in the midst of sessions for Nazareth's 24th studio album. A list of gigs on the band's home page has been removed.

Calmena Energy Services Inc. Reports 2012 Third Quarter Financial Results
By: Marketwired .
Nov. 8, 2012 07:09 PM
CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/09/12 -- Calmena Energy Services Inc. ("Calmena" or the "Company") (TSX:CEZ) is pleased to announce its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. All figures are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the period will be filed separately on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), which should be reviewed in conjunction with this press release.
-- For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the company recorded: -- Revenue of $39.7 million compared to $37.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2011, led by year over year growth in the US and Latin America but offset by a decrease in Canada; and -- EBITDAS of $2.4 million compared to $5.5 million for the comparable period in 2011. Continued strong results in the US and Mexico were offset primarily by the decreased revenue in Canada, and higher than anticipated costs associated with startup in Brazil. -- Additional financing was obtained through a US$10.0 million three year term loan; -- Six new internally developed and manufactured measurement while drilling ("MWD") kits were deployed to the US; -- Commenced contract drilling operations in Colombia on our first contract for Ecopetrol, the Colombian national resource company; -- Drilling operations commenced late in the third quarter on the final two single rigs deployed from Canada to Brazil under long term contracts with Petrobras; and -- After recommencing drilling in May 2012 with one rig, operations in Libya were temporarily suspended in July as the result of an employee strike. Agreements with the majority of our Libyan employees have been reached and we expect drilling operations to re-commence in the fourth quarter.
The tables below provide a summary of Calmena's financial and operating results as at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ($ thousands, except per share amounts) 2012 2011 2012 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue 39,727 36,984 123,023 85,296 EBITDAS(i) 2,408 5,545 14,197 7,870 Net (loss) income for the period (3,337) 45 (5,291) (6,985) Funds flow from continuing operations(i) 1,005 3,864 10,517 5,225 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net (loss) income per share - Basic and diluted (0.01) 0.00 (0.02) (0.03) Funds flow from continuing operations per share- Basic and diluted(i) 0.00 0.01 0.03 0.02 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (i) see non-GAAP measures section of this release for a description of this term. September 30, December 31, ($ thousands) 2012 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets 234,438 221,891 Borrowings and debt, net of cash 57,528 45,745 Shareholders' equity 133,431 142,647 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Licensing and rig activity indicate that drilling in Canada in the fourth quarter and into the first quarter of 2013 will be lower than the prior years. In contract drilling, in spite of the lower industry drilling, we expect strong utilization for our equipment, but some price erosion on our single rigs in the first quarter of 2013, as more competitor rigs have entered the coring and heavy oil market. Utilization for total 2013 should improve as we are rebuilding three of the single drilling rigs to be more suitable in areas with year round activity. Our double rig is contracted to mid-2013 and we expect it will be utilized throughout 2013. In wireline technologies, we enhanced our sales force in early 2012, and have established ourselves as a leading provider of high pressure, horizontal completions, particularly in the Duvernay, and expect to see moderate growth over the fourth quarter and into 2013. Equipment rentals and frac fluids activity in the fourth quarter of 2012 and into the first quarter of 2013 will be somewhat lower than the prior year as customers are moving equipment such as tank farms less, affecting our service revenue, and there has been a significant reduction in the number of fracs using oil based frac fluid by our major customers.
In the United States, we expect the horizontal rig count in our core operating area to remain stable through 2012 and into 2013. With the addition of six MWD kits to the US and the relocation of two MWD kits from the US to Mexico in the fourth quarter, we will exit 2012 with 29 kits in the US. Over the next several quarters we will focus on improving market share, optimizing utilization and improving margins on our fleet, with additional expansion scheduled for later in 2013.
Drilling activity in Mexico is accelerating. Pemex is forecasting to spend more on exploration and development in 2013 and 2014 than for 2012. This increase in spending will be made in part through new production sharing agreements for development of land based fields, some of which are currently being negotiated. At present, four out of our five drilling rigs are operating under contract to the end of 2012. Given current demand and outlook for rig utilization in our areas of operation we anticipate that all our rigs will be working in the first quarter of 2013. Directional services is currently operating two kits and is providing the two kits relocated from the US to a customer under a rental arrangement.
Drilling operations in Colombia commenced in the third quarter of 2012 on a contract for Ecopetrol to drill two wells, with an option for two additional wells. To date we have successfully drilled the first two wells and the third well is in progress. The third well should continue through mid-November and we are hopeful that Ecopetrol will proceed with the second option well which would keep our drilling rig utilized until the end of 2012. Our drilling performance for Ecopetrol establishes us as a credible driller in Colombia and opens the door for more opportunities from Ecopetrol and other companies operating there. As a result we believe we should be able to re-contract our drilling rig in Colombia and achieve strong utilization during 2013.
With the mobilization and commencement of operations of the remaining two single drilling rigs in Brazil, we now have a total of five drilling rigs operating under long term contracts with Petrobras. Third quarter results were negatively impacted by a combination of rig commissioning and unanticipated startup costs relating to the delivery of the remaining two single rigs in the third quarter of 2012, and operational challenges on the two single rigs delivered in the second quarter of 2012. Over the next three to six months, as we put the start-ups behind us, we are endeavoring to optimize operational efficiencies to satisfactorily deliver on our commitment to service and achieve our budgeted margins.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, agreements have been reached with the majority of our Libyan employees to return to work, and we expect both drilling rigs to recommence operations in the fourth quarter of 2012. The contract terms for each of our drilling rigs expire in February 2013 and November 2013, respectively, and we are confident that the drilling rigs will be re- contracted in Libya for the foreseeable future.
Overall, the US and Mexico should continue delivering solid results throughout the remainder of 2012 and into 2013. As Colombia builds on the recent successes achieved, Libya returns to full operations and we execute on our plans in Brazil, consolidated financial results will improve.

Richard Justice has a new post on the relationship between Jim Crane and Bud Selig:
Selig met Crane for just the second time Monday and is expected to support his $680 million purchase of the Astros. Selig already knew plenty about Crane before their meeting and never would have allowed the sale of the Astros to get this far if he weren't comfortable with him.
I've known Selig for almost 30 years, and if he thought there was an ounce of racism or sexism in Crane's bones, he never would allow him to own a major league baseball team.

Justice: Selig and Crane - BFFs
2 comments:
More garbage from Richard Justice.
The headline -- "Crane has passed test with Selig" -- sounds authoritative, but there was NOTHING in the article that actually supported the title. Justice is just trying to grab attention in the wake of Crane's meeting with Selig yesterday by regurgitation old opinions from two weeks ago.
Justice apparently doesn't have a CLUE what actually was or wasn't said in yesterday's meeting (or even if it happened, as scheduled).

Oops -- That should have been "regurgitating old opinions ..." above. Sorry.

LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland (AP) - Germany won the parallel racing national team event Friday at Alpine skiing's World Cup finals.
The German team of Felix Neureuther, Fritz Dopfer, Veronique Hronek and Lena Duerr won 3-1 in the final against the Swedish quartet of Andre Myhrer, Jens Byggmark, Maria Pietilae-Holmner and Frida Hansdottir.
Germany had been third at the world championships last month when Sweden took the silver medal behind host nation Austria.
Austria lost to Italy 3-1 for third place. The United States skipped the event, which had only seven nations.
Each nation has four racers, two men and two women, who race head-to-head against their opponents in four parallel races. Each win is worth one point.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrat Joe Biden says he's debated "an awful lot of tough, smart women" throughout his career and that next month's vice presidential debate with Republican Sarah Palin will be no exception. But he'd like to know where she stands on issues.
"She's a smart, tough politician, so I think she's going to be very formidable," Biden told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
The Democratic senator from Delaware and the Republican governor of Alaska are scheduled to debate Oct. 2 at Washington University in St. Louis.
Biden, serving his sixth term in Congress, said "there's a lot of very tough, smart women in the United States Senate I debate every day." So going up against the first-term governor, he said: "It's not new." He also mentioned his wife, Jill, who has a Ph.D.
Asked whether he'd debate Palin differently than he would Republicans Mitt Romney or Tom Ridge, two former governors who figured into speculation about John McCain's running mate, Biden said the only difference is that he knows their positions on issues.
"I have no idea what her policies are. I assume they're the same as John's. I just don't know," he said of Palin.
Biden said she delivered a great speech to the Republican National Convention last week in St. Paul, Minn., but "her silence on the issues was deafening.
"She didn't mention a word about health care, a word about the environment, a word about the middle class. They never parted her lips ... so I don't know where she is on those things."

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. (AP) -- The trial of a man charged with killing four people in a Rock Falls apartment in 2008 took an odd turn when the defense noted the judge had been falling asleep.
Attorney Jeremy Karlin represents defendant Nicholas Sheley.
Karlin on Friday said in court that Judge Jeffrey O'Connor fell asleep while a videotaped deposition was played. Karlin said he'd noticed the judge sleeping on other occasions, too.
The Rock Island Argus reports that O'Connor acknowledged Karlin's observation but said he's able to preside over the trial.
Sheley has pleaded not guilty to killing 29-year-old Brock Branson; 20-year-old Kilynna Blake; her son, 2-year-old Dayan and 25-year-old Kenneth Ulve.
Sheley has been convicted of killing two Illinois men that same week and is charged in two deaths in Missouri.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Kentucky is likely headed to a bigger
bowl game than last year.
The Wildcats are thinking bigger still.
Andre Woodson threw for 222 yards, Rafael Little had 70 yards
rushing before being injured and No. 24 Kentucky beat Vanderbilt
27-20 on Saturday to keep alive its slim hopes of a berth in the
Southeastern Conference title game.
"This win puts us in the chase," running back Derrick Locke
said. "We can still get to a really good bowl. We can still get to
Kentucky needs plenty of help if it wants to win play for the
SEC title.
The Wildcats (7-3, 3-3 SEC) close their season against SEC East
rivals Tennessee and Georgia, and have a chance to sneak into the
league title game in Atlanta by defeating both. A South Carolina
win over Florida later on Saturday would also be a big help.
"The real key for us whether we win next week or don't win next
week, if we're going to have a chance, the ball coach is going to
have to do something for us," Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said,
referring to South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier. "We can end up
tied for it, but it would be tough."
The Wildcats snapped their two-game losing skid and clinched
consecutive seven-win seasons for the first time since 1976-77.
Kentucky beat Clemson 28-20 in the Music City Bowl last year.
For the Commodores (5-5, 2-5), their hopes of becoming bowl
eligible will have to wait a little longer. Vanderbilt hasn't been
to a bowl since the 1982 Hall of Fame Bowl.
The Commodores had eight penalties for 65 yards, and Byrant
Hahnfeldt missed two field goals and an extra point for Vanderbilt.
Mackenzi Adams threw for 193 yards and two touchdowns for the
Commodores, but sailed his final throw on fourth down over the head
of Justin Wheeler in the end zone. Adams was sacked on second down
by Jeremy Jarmon, and Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson chose to have
Adams spike the ball instead of using its final timeout with 17
seconds remaining.
"We knew what the time was and we were using it just the way we
wanted to use it," Johnson said. "If we were going to score, we
didn't want Kentucky to have a chance to get the ball back. I think
it was good clock management by MacKenzi.
"We were making some big plays. We made some fourth-down plays.
The sack discouraged me. I was actually watching the receivers
trying to get open and I didn't see the sack. That was
Kentucky gave Vanderbilt countless opportunities to become bowl
The Wildcats had a season-high 13 penalties for 123 yards,
including a holding call that wiped out a 52-yard reception by
Keenan Burton. But Vanderbilt couldn't close out drives.
"Everything looked like it was going pretty good," Vanderbilt
defensive end Curtis Gatewood said. "At the end of the game, we
had some breakdowns. It's so frustrating."
Earl Bennett had eight catches for 68 yards, and Cassen
Jackson-Garrison had 83 yards rushing for the Commodores.
The game was sloppy and marred by penalties and injuries.
Vanderbilt running back Jared Hawkins was carted off the field
in the third quarter after suffering a blow to the head on a
late-hit penalty by Wildcats safety Ashton Cobb. Hawkins was able
to walk onto the cart after about five minutes. His status was not
immediately announced.
Kentucky running back Rafael Little was injured on the opening
drive of the second half. Locke had 51 yards rushing in his place,
including a 4-yard touchdown rush that would serve as the winning
A 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on Vanderbilt's Broderick
Stewart in the final seconds of the first half allowed Lones Seiber
to make a 48-yard field goal that tied the game 13-13. Seiber also
kicked a 38-yarder.
Adams threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to give Vanderbilt a 7-3
lead, as Brooks raced down the sidelines trying to call a timeout.
Brooks pleaded with officials after the play that the timeout
should have been called, drawing a 15-yard personal foul penalty.
"They were trying to get to six wins, we were trying to get to
seven," Cobb said. "There was a lot of emotions out there. There
were bowl games being fought for."

The former congressman who's heading the National Rifle Association's school emergency response program that would include volunteers to help guard children says it makes sense because it's similar to placing air marshals on planes.
Asa Hutchinson tells ABC's "This Week" that the air marshal program has provided a deterrent and made flying safer.
He says putting trained guards such as retired police officers or military persons at schools will help protect students. Hutchinson says hiring guards to defend schools is a "very reasonable approach" but it should be a local choice.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a prominent Republican, says the approach will turn schools into an armed camp for kids.

SEATTLE – The playoffs remain a distant hope, kneecapped by an amazing comeback earlier in the day by the Carolina Panthers and resting on outcomes of games of which the Cardinals will not take part.
None of that meant anything Sunday afternoon in the Seattle mist fogging CenturyLink Field, after the Cardinals notched an improbable 10th win of the season by rallying past the Seahawks, 17-10. In a game that which coach Bruce Arians called a barometer of the franchise, Arizona found it measures up quite well.
"I don't think we realize how satisfying this is yet," guard
It ended when linebacker
"That one," Arians said, "defies the odds."
Carolina (11-4) got away from the Cardinals before the game even started – the Cards to a man said they didn't know that as they kicked off their own game – when Cam Newton threw a game-winning touchdown pass with under a minute to play to beat the Saints (10-5).
With the 49ers (10-4) playing Monday night, the Cardinals are left with simple playoff chances, if longshots. They need to beat the 49ers next week. If the 49ers somehow lose a home game to a struggling Atlanta team Monday, the winner of the San Francisco-Arizona game at University of Phoenix Stadium next week goes on.
If the 49ers win against the Falcons, the only hope the Cards have left is to win next week and have the Saints somehow lose at home to a bad Tampa Bay team. It isn't a promising combination.
The Cards can't do anything about it though.
"If you get caught up in all that, that's how you lose," defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said.
The Cardinals instead have a chance to win 11 for the first time since the team moved to Arizona in 1988, playoffs or not. That's what Arians wants, why he delivered an emotional speech to the team Friday about making sure when they went to Seattle, they didn't get pushed around.
That was not a problem.
Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch gained 46 yards on his first six carries but had just 25 on his final 12 attempts. Wilson (11-for-27, 108 yards, one touchdown, one interception) never found a rhythm and if it wasn't for one 27-yard scramble early in the second half that turned out to be meaningless, never was able to scramble his way into big plays.
In one of the biggest points in the game, a Palmer interception late in the first half was returned to the Arizona 3-yard line – and not only did the defense hold, but Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka missed a 24-yard field goal that made for a surprising 3-3 halftime tie.
"When they realized they had to start throwing the ball, for us to step in there and get pressure and some three-and-outs, they got frustrated," defensive end
"We didn't change much (at the half). Once you figure out what they are trying to do, you call plays to try and beat it. I take my hat off to (defensive coordinator Todd) Bowles. We called the same plays. We just called it smart."
The Seahawks (12-3), who not only failed to clinch home field throughout the playoffs but also has yet to clinch the NFC West title, converted just 2-of-13 third-downs and gained a mere 192 yards of total offense.
The Seahawks' defense was effective as well, mostly in short-circuiting potential Cardinal scoring threats. There were miscommunications, pressures and reasons for the picks, Palmer said, but he shrugged them off. And when it mattered, Palmer made it happen.
Nursing a 9-3 lead, the valiant defense cracked, allowing Wilson to drive for a go-ahead touchdown. Palmer, with little emotion, then directed the Cards on a 10-play, 80-yard scoring march, capped on the bomb to Floyd. Running back
"You have to deal with the ebbs and the flows," Palmer said of his performance, which ended 13-for-25 for 178 yards, the TD and the four picks. "You have to think about the next play. You can't think about what happened in the first quarter, the second quarter, the last third down. You have to stay mentally strong. You have to block all that other stuff out."
The Seahawks weren't going to burn the Cardinals' defense twice in a row, and whatever last-ditch effort they had in them ended with the Dansby pick. It was a fitting conclusion.
"I just ran to the ball," Dansby said. "And magic happened."
It also drew smiles, ridding the Cardinals of the memories of their last trip to Seattle – a 58-0 disaster – and also the 34-22 loss earlier in the season in Arizona on Thursday night. Wilson had never lost in Seattle and the Seahawk were considered by some unbeatable at home. The Cardinals were intent on proving otherwise.
"There is a lot of belief," Arians said. "When we played them (in October) we had two walkthroughs for practice and had to play on Thursday night. We weren't ready for that. We weren't ready for that style of practice. We weren't good enough yet."
"This is why you play the game," Arians added. "To come into a venue like this … that's why you play the game. That's why we all grew up playing this game."

Men for All Seasons
I propose the following scale for judging Michigan football seasons in the Carr Era:
* Amazing-Win national championship (97)
* Great-Win Big Ten and Rose Bowl (X)
* Very Good-Win Big Ten and lose Rose Bowl (03, 04)
* Good-No Rose Bowl (NRB) but defeat three of ND, Sparty (sorry, Wangs), tOSU, bowl opponent (99, 00)
* OK-NRB, defeat two of top rivals (96, 98, 02)
* Pretty Bad-NRB, defeat only one top rival (95, 01*, 05) (*-the 01 team gets put here on a technicality because they did not play ND; but consider that the 01 team lost to Sparty after LaSeur committed that personal foul on 4th and 15, put forth an astonishingly bad effort in a home loss vs. tOSU, and finished the season by getting by getting devoured by Tennessee as if we were a pulled pork sandwich on the plate of Phil Fulmer.)
* At Least We're not the Lions-Do not qualify for a bowl (X)

Great post, IG. I put this in the OK category for the simple fact of PSU, Iowa and NW. We could have quit like MSU but fought the whole season, even if it didn't turn out as hoped.

I agree with you, Yost. We've shown too much resiliance, particularly with a relatively young and injury-depleted team, for this to be a Pretty Bad Season, at least at this point (though it would be tough to say 7-5 isn't Pretty Bad.) According to the half-baked framework detailed in the original post, 05 would be an OK Season if we defeat the Gamecocks, Sooners, or whoever we end up playing in our bowl, by having two wins over top rivals.

I can't see how a minor bowl win, over a program I don't even have any animosity against, would make up for the staggering futility and repetitive nature of the losses. It's good that they came back from the depths. The Penn State and Iowa wins were inspirational, tough-minded, etc. But there just aren't as many highlights as disasters, even if you throw MSU into the highlight category. (Northwestern was not a highlight; it was merely part of a tease that made us hope the gameplan would change against OSU.)
The only potential systemic merit in this season is the refusal of the players to quit. This only becomes significant if awareness of their abilities and resilience it carries over into next year's player development and performance. Even then, it doesn't make 2005 any better of a season. It just lets us reflect that at least there was some purpose to the suffering, just like it turned out there was some payoff for suffering through the early stages of Navarre.
I don't view 2002 as an OK season, considering the heartbreaking nature of losses to Notre Dame and OSU, an embarrassing HOME beatdown against Iowa (one of a couple of pantheon-level horrible home performances in recent memory), missing the opportunity to thwart an OSU national championship... and considering that you are arguing that these things were offset by beating an MSU program that had just reached maximum disarray and a close win over Ron Zook. I don't see it. I know I wasn't happy at the end of the season. I had a couple exciting wins to console myself with, but just like this year, that's what they were: consolation.
So that is why I think some of the anger is justified in a more-than-transient sense. The recent mix of very good with pretty bad, and scarce apparent hope of attaining amazing/great levels anytime soon(because I can't conceive of a Rose Bowl win over USC, given Michigan's historical/structural disadvantages in that matchup, and perilously flirting with Hindenburg status this year, is a bad combination of trends.
Not saying I know what should be done about it. The athletic department simply won't be able to muscle Lloyd out like Mr. Wangler fantasizes; Lloyd simply won't budge without a hire from within, and he's got two more years. Then, even if you see no future value in Lloyd as coach (and I won't go that far), you've cast an ugly shadow of political infighting over the 2007 squad's performance at least, and at worst queered recruiting for years.
Now let's say you're Bill Martin. You commit yourself to Lloyd for '07 and implement the rest of the wangs plan. No consideration whatsoever for internal candidates, but consult Lloyd on who else to consider. How much vigor do you think Lloyd will put into the recruiting of the '07 class and the early-to-middle stages of the '08 class? Obviously he's a team-first guy, but don't you think such a sweeping judgment from Martin will disappoint Lloyd so significantly that he won't be able to help some dropoff in his performance for these absolutely vital transitional classes?
Worst-case scenario, Lloyd, having previously accepted turning over the reins, digs in his heels and decides he's not done coaching. He'll stick around, and just flatout do more to prove that his wishes about the program's future should be heeded. When the press asks him about it January '07, he says he fully expects to start talking about a new contract some time after spring practice. Is Martin prepared for the public shitstorm should he step forward and admit he's not interested in renewing Lloyd, regardless of Lloyd's wishes?

The upshot is, it's not hopeless. The next 2 years should have veteran playmakers. "Good" seasons are attainable, although I consider Penn State more important than MSU during this period, because the Michigan recruits will come no matter what, but the Pennsylvania pipeline must be maintained in the face of PSU's resurgence.
But it will take VERY delicate political maneuvering to get Lloyd out smoothly, assuming (as I think we do, correctly) that Lloyd is fully planning to move on after '07. It will take convincing Lloyd that he will have a major voice throughout the process of determining the next coach, and that his preferred candidate from his staff will get serious consideration, in order to keep him fully on board. Then carefully pushing the merits of whatever other candidates are settled on without offending or steamrolling Lloyd. If the search can identify genuinely primo outside candidates that would be a good fit, they should be able to win this argument -- if they can keep the process diplomatically stable. If they try to sell an Urban Meyer or Bo Pelini type, I doubt Lloyd will go along.

I would replace the Rose Bowl with any BCS bowl since going to the Rose Bowl for winning the conference outright won't always be possible. Also, getting one of the at large BCS bids is an accomplishment since another team may get the Rose Bowl without having beaten Michigan and Michigan will have to finish the regular season ranked high to do so.
I would rank the 1999 season at least "Very Good" since Michigan beat Notre Dame, Ohio State, Wisconsin (the conference champions) and Alabama in the Orange Bowl and finished the season ranked fifth in the nation.
Additionally, the Big Ten was very strong that year with Wisconsin ranked fourth and Michigan State ranked seventh and four other teams in the final Top 25. The back to back losses to Michigan State and Illinois were that season's only bad points.

Interesting breakdown. Not sure I value wins over mediocre to poor programs (like Spartie) as that signfiicant. I'm not really happy when we beat them, more relieved that we avoided an embarrasing loss. Wins over ND, tOSU, Bowl, Pennsylvania State do make me happy.
Anyway ... in the past 10 years we've had 5 good or better season and 5 OK to pretty bad. It has been 8 years since we competed for a national title.
During this period, my recollection is that we've had top 10 or top 5 recruiting classes, nationally, every season. I understand that recruiting rankings are about as accurate as press/coaches polls in September, but they are an indicator.
I think that a great season is when we compete for the national title beyond our first road game (which we haven't done in many yeasr). In this new era, winning the Big Ten is nice, but competing at the top is how we should measure our program. And we simply do not compete at that high level, despite having some of the best high school talent in the nation coming to our school every year.
How is it acceptable that we rarely, if ever, over achieve but we constantly under achieve? Isn't that the better way to measure Michigan and this band of coaches? Are they getting more or less out of the talen that they have? I think less, consistently. I know it's hard, but holy cow batman, this program has more talent walking through the door every season, consistently, than any other program in the country (I think) over the past 10 years. Yet, we haven't competed among the elite for an entire season since '97. What gives?
We apparently have the Jimmies and the Joes. Maybe it's the coaches?

Wow, Mayday, I think in your Wangs has found his soulmate.
As you'll soon figure out (if not already from my previous posts), I am a Lloyd supporter. I think, as disappointing as this season was, as Lloyd eve stated, we were the most injured of ANY season he remembers. Yet still, on the last game of the season against our hated rival (who, let's admit it, was the better team), we still had a shot at the Big 10 title and a BCS birth. While it didn't work out and I THINK LLOYD MADE MISTAKES (nobody is perfect), I think the "Fire Lloyd" or force him out talk is crazy.
Since I don't know you, May, please let me say here and beforehand that any "heated" defense of my position above that seems rude or offensive in any way is directed at Wangs since I've known him for years and I know he won't be offended when I tell him he's out of his f'ing mind! :)

Beg pardon, Yost, you misunderstand me. I was trying to show how wangs' scenario was unfeasible for the future of the program, even GRANTING for the sake of argument, his position that Lloyd must go. I don't want Lloyd to go, though I would probably be pretty happy about Herrmann going, not that I think that has a chance of happening.
I guess I wasn't clear that I differed with Wangs because I think it's mostly immaterial. Lloyd sounds like a guy who wants to have a life after football and is ready to take off after this contract. So in 2 years you'll have a new coach anyway. But Lloyd has enough political capital that he'll make things very unpleasant if boosters or Martin or whoever try to strong-arm him on the way out the door. I was just trying to spell out those hypotheticals.
For the record, I don't support an internal hire, because none of the assistants seem to have a head-man type personality, not because I have a problem with their philosophies. Assistants' tactical preferences become less important when they become the head guy; they're too busy and that stuff tends to get delegated to the new coordinators. I do favor making sure the next guy is a Michigan guy.

Manchester City have targeted Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala as a potential summer replacement for Joleon Lescott, who could leave the Etihad at the end of the season.
England international Lescott has been linked to a return to Everton this season, having found his first-team chances at City limited by the rise of Matija Nastasic, and the Daily Express has reported that £17million-rated Mangala could be bought to fill the void should Lescott depart Manchester.
22-year-old Mangala has attracted attention from Italian giants AC Milan, who sent a team to scout the French youth international during Porto's 1-0 Champions League win over Malaga, according to Corriere dello Sport. The Italian paper also reported that Manchester City's sporting director Txiki Begiristain had added Mangala to his summer shortlist.
Mangala arrived at the Estadio do Dragao for €6.5m in 2011, and his performances at the heart of the Porto defence have brought attracted interest from abroad.
Mangala has been a mainstay in a Porto side that have conceded just 10 goals in 20 league matches this season and currently sit undefeated at the top of the Liga Sagres.

Kadeem Batts scored 25 points and pulled down nine rebounds and Bryce Cotton added 11 points -- all of which came in the second half -- to help Providence take down No. 16 Cincinnati, 54-50, Wednesday at Dunkin Donuts Center.
Vincent Council scored six points and dished out eight assists and Lee Goldsbrough contributed six points and four boards for the Friars (12-11, 4-7 Big East), who have won two straight following a three-game skid and ended a six-game losing streak versus ranked foes.
"It's been an up-and-down season for us," Providence coach Ed Cooley said. "In the last three games, we're starting to show a little bit of consistency, and starting to play better basketball."
Sean Kilpatrick scored 13 points and JaQuon poured in 12 and 10 rebounds for the Bearcats (18-5, 6-4), who had a chance to tie the game with under 10 seconds remaining -- down two points -- before Kilpatrick lost the handle of the ball and it scooted across halfcourt for a backcourt violation. Shaquille Thomas, Cashmere Wright and Cheikh Mbodj each scored just six points in the loss.
"We started off sluggish," said Kilpatrick. "Then we got in scoring droughts and dug a deeper hole. We could have played 10 times better."
Kilpatrick brought the visitors within 27-30, to start the second half, however, Cotton quickly nailed two 3-pointers within a span of two minutes, pushing the Friars' advantage to 36-29 with 14:22 remaining.
Cotton wasn't done yet, as he was fouled on a 3-point attempt and nailed all shots from the charity stripe making it an eight-point lead. Batts then provided the team's next eight points, as the Bearcats were held to just three points, and the home team went up, 47-34 with six-plus minutes to play.
That's when the visitors made things interesting, scrapping their way back as the game winded down within 49-48, following a 14-2 flurry as Mbodj swished both free throws with 2 1/2 minutes to play.
Batts then connected on 1-of-2 free throws to make it 50-48, which is where the game stayed until under the one minute remaining.
Cincinnati's Thomas then drove through the lane as the clock struck under 30 seconds, but Goldsbrough defended the shot perfectly and forced a miss shot. Cotton went to the line on the next possession and sunk two free throws to extend the edge to four points.
Just went it seemed the Friars would easily hold on for the victory, Justin Jackson drove to the bucket with 14 seconds left and was fouled by Goldsbrough, to try and complete a three-point play. He missed the shot, which would have brought Cincinnati within one and the team was forced to foul.
Again, Providence had a chance to seal the deal with Batts on the free throw line, but he missed both shots, before Kilpatrick turned the ball over in the closing seconds.
After trailing, 20-10 in the first half, The Bearcats chipped back to get within 22-19 on Kilpatrick's fastbreak lay-in, although back-to-back jumpers by Batts helped Providence hold a 26-21 edge at the half.
Game Notes
Neither team shot particularly well from behind the arc as Providence shot 2- of-17, compared to 3-of-13 for the 'Cats ... The Friars came into the game having lost 20 of their last 23 matchups against ranked foes ... Cincinnati lost for the first time this season when attempting at least 13 free throws ... The team was 18-0 when attempting at least 13 from the charity stripe entering the contest ... Only three other Friars found the scoreboard, each accounted for just two points.

'Lincoln' director Spielberg speaks in Gettysburg
Steven Spielberg asked sixteen newly minted Americans to remember equality as the Abraham Lincoln biopic director marked the 149th anniversary of the president's famous "Gettysburg Address."
Spielberg addressed citizens from 11 countries who took the oath of allegiance to become U.S. citizens Monday at the Soldier's National Cemetery in Gettysburg.
After spending seven years working his new movie "Lincoln," Spielberg says the 16th president came to feel like one of his oldest and dearest friends. He says Lincoln would want us to realize equality is a "democratic essential."
Gettysburg is where the U.S. military was able to stop an invasion of the North by Confederate troops under Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Lincoln gave the three-minute speech, which famously begins with the phrase, "four score and seven years ago," at the dedication of the cemetery four months after the battle.
AC/DC releases entire catalog on iTunes
AC/DC is finally releasing its music digitally on iTunes.
Columbia Records and Apple announced Monday that the classic rock band's music will be available at the iTunes Store worldwide.
Sixteen studio albums will be released, including "High Voltage" and "Back in Black," which is already in the Top 30 on iTunes' top albums chart. Two of the group's albums are also in the Top 100 and seven of the Australian band's songs are in the Top 200.
AC/DC was one of the few acts that would not release music through the digital outlet. Two years ago Apple struck a deal with The Beatles' record label, EMI Group, and management company, and began selling the group's music.
Four of AC/DC's live albums and three compilation records are also available. The statement said the songs have been mastered for iTunes "with increased audio fidelity."
The group's first live album in 20 years, "Live at River Plate," is out today.

Franklin has performed for Mrs. Obama before -- at the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
Franklin also paid tribute to the late Whitney Houston, singing "I Will Always Love You."
