I can put myself along the lines of the Stones, Sting, Led Zeppelin, etc...
But, I ain't making no comeback..lol.
To celebrate though, later I will pop up some of the instrumental work I have done over the last year, and give you an idea of what is inside my head when I play music.
I sometimes miss what I did in the old days, but I also played during the hair band era, and really, does anyone listen to that 80's stuff? (oops...sorry Wifey, as she indignantly looks at me, and pops in her Bon Jovi CD.)
If I have a chance, my mother sent me an old .45 (yes, REAL VINYL) of the single we released in my old band. I thought any of that material lost, but I have the exclusive A/B side love from happier times...
Then computers took over..
Enough about that, today I have more fun with numbers.
It seems some do not enjoy crunching and research..yet, thanks to it's mathematical equations, and coming up with formulas...it is like music, which is it's own math heaven.
I am mostly interested in how the popularity of some titles relate to their sales and subscriber base, and it gives us a birds eye view of the overall structure and health of the MMO.
Luckily I ran into a nice post on MMORPG (which now eludes me...if I find it later, I will post it...old age I guess...) that has a good breakdown of the equation of XFire users compared to player base numbers.
It is quite impressive, so lets look at how the commenter came up with his data.
His argument was in regards to Age of Conan, which so many joke has roughly 10-30,000 users. People are like that (not unlike a certain person reviewing the game, and when prodded noted he had never PLAYED the game...and to top it off, his review was picked up by Kotaku and plastered all over the net....stupid people...)
But, he wanted to show that even though numbers are not good for the game, it also is not of Tabula Rasa proportions.
For his calc he stated this...
"As of this moment:
* Xfire for WoW = 362,977
* 11,000,000 / 362,977 = 30.3
That gives us a multiplier that we
can use against the AoC number, assuming that there are statistically
as many people running Xfire with WoW (as a percentage) as those who
run Xfire with AoC. Xfire for AoC = 3,687 3,687 * 30.3 = 117,734"
Which I noted started to skew some numbers horribly, with LOTRO having almost 2 million players...as the times were markedly skewed thanks to hours of people playing the latest expansion.
Then he showed this method, and it really worked...
"Using the same logic, but this time with the reported number of users:
* WoW = 11,000,000 / 91,628 = 120.05
* (www.xfire.com/games/wow/
Using 120.05 as the multiplier...
* AoC = 942 * 120.05 = 113,087
* (www.xfire.com/games/aoc/Age_
Why does this seem more feasible? Lets take this equation and apply it to other games.
Guild Wars = 8,236 * 120.05 = 988k overall players within a month period (would be subscribers...)
Ok, so Guild Wars is tough due to the non-sub system they use...
Lets move on...
WAR = 4,284* 120.05 = 514k subscribers...
As we can see here, WAR seems to be in line with how many people have bought the game, and still continue to play according to various evidence.
EvE Online = 3,612* 120.05 = 434k
Is this possible? Could EvE possibly have more players than once thought? It has been noted as one of the 250k+ games.
If we go to Wiki, the last noted data is
"As of March 31, 2008, Eve Online has 236,000 active subscriptions and 45,000 active trial accounts."
It could very well be possible that growth in the subscriber base along with trials going could equal a larger base.
If we look at anecdotal evidence, for example in 2005, CCP noted 60k players. So, we have seen roughly a 4.6% increase in players. So, maybe 1.5 % growth per year. So with almost a year under their belts now, it could be possible to see maybe another 50k? Maybe more?
This one is still questionable, so lets move on.
LOTRO = 2,296 * 120.05 = 276k (always rounding up here folks...)
This still shows the calculation to be workable. So, actually, the numbers still look about right.
It has been noted many times that LOTRO is a 250k game, and this shows that data to corroborate.
It is disappointing it has not grown though is my only issue. The market share is flat for this game. No loss, but no gains either.
But, like everyone says...who cares, it is profitable.
Everquest 2 - 413 * 120.05 = 50k
Interesting set of numbers here. Is it possible the population is that small? With a minimal number of servers, this could be true. Lets say on average 1k-2k per server at any given time, and then average it over a 30 day period, this could be true.
It has been discussed before, and has actually been a sore point (even with Grimwell, who got into an argument with Mr. Woodcock, another number cruncher, when he stated they had less than 100k players...and Grimwell called him a few choice names, and said it is not so, but never gave real numbers.), and even wiki has absolutely no notation of subscribers.
Just for the heck of it, what if we used the first way of calculation noted in my post, based on minutes...
Everquest 2 = 2003 * 30.3 = 61k...
Still about the same area. Quite low, but quite possible.
Interesting to say the least. And it looks quite accurate based on various evidence of sales/vs players, discussion on forums, and popularity.
At least SOE got a good bump thanks to their new expansion Shadow Odyssey.
The latest month end sales charts for November just showed up with this little goody...
- World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King / Blizzard / $36 (Average)
- World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Ed. / Blizzard / $50 (Average)
- Call Of Duty: World At War / Treyarch / $50 (Average)
- Spore / EA Maxis / $48 (Average)
- Fallout 3 / Bethesda / $49 (Average)
- World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest / Blizzard / $34 (Average)

- Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 / EA LA / $49 (Average)
- World Of Warcraft / Blizzard / $18 (Average)
- The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff Exp. / EA Maxis / $19 (Average)
- Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy / Her Interactive / $20 (Avearge)
- EverQuest II: The Shadow Odyssey / Sony Online Ent. / $40 (Average)(Average)
- Far Cry 2 / Ubisoft Montreal / $50 (Average)
- World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Expansion Pack / Blizzard / $29 (Average)
- BioShock / 2K Boston, Australia / $14 (Average)
- Spore Creepty & Cute Parts Pack / EA Maxis / $19 (Average)
- IGT Slots: Little Green Men / Masque / $20 (Average)
- Assassin's Creed / Ubisoft Montreal / $11 (Average)
Anyways, thought this looked pretty good, and quite workable. I will probably come back when a new game charts (Spellborn? Anybody even heard of that game? Acclaim who?) and see how this compares.
Final caveat. This is North American audiences...maybe UK and AU as well. It is strictly pay for games (why I will probably avoid the awesome and great selling Guild Wars from now on.)
My main reason to do this is simple. 2008 proved to be a bad year for MMO's, and I still wonder if this market is tangible, or if developers are just throwing money out the window.
We will see...and please comment on your thoughts..

Renault F1 comp site spills entrants' details
You will never break the chain
Posted in The Channel, 8th May 2008 16:01 GMT
A Grand Prix competition from Renault hit the barriers on Thursday after it emerged that the motoring firm was inadvertently leaking entrants' personal details onto the web.
Renault UK are offering more than 600 pairs of tickets to attend either the practice, qualification or the actual race day of the British Grand Prix on 4, 5 and 6 July 2008 in a web-based competition, promoted via email. Users following a link in the email to enter the competition were confronted with the name, postcode, email address and phone number of the most recent entrant. Ironically, a link in the page displaying competition entrants' details led to Renault's privacy statement.
Pressing refresh delivered the details of someone else, providing someone new had entered in the intervening period.
Such information could, of course, be useful to ID thieves. Knocking up a script to harvest the data would be well within the scope of semi IT-literate phishing fraudsters or their associates. A sanitised screen grab Of Renault's competition site can be found here.
Renault UK's webmasters were informed of the bug by email on Thursday morning. They fixed the database bug that created the republishing glitch at around 1415 BST, following inquiries from El Reg prompted by user tip-offs. Both people we spoke to at Renault treated the issue seriously and acted promptly, something that doesn't always happen in the course of security incidents and for which it's only fair to credit Renault UK. ®

My HIV Is My Strength; Don't Give Up! A Message of Hope
By Kevin Maloney
April 3, 2011
What a roller coaster of a year. First Diagnosed with HIV in March 2010 and with follow up labs in April 2010 told I had also contracted Hepatitis C genotype 1a (non IV drug user). At the same time I was dealing with an on and off again love affair with methamphetamine. I went away to The Pride Institute to get support with my dual diagnosis and addiction to methamphetamine. I can say it's now been a full year that I have not touched methamphetamine, and the compulsion to use has lifted. I realize I must still remain mindful of my prior addiction, and therefore meet with a talk-therapist on a weekly basis.
In this year I had to give up a job that I loved in NYC (but wasn't making enough money at) and moved to rural Upstate NY to be closer to family, and especially my ill Mother awaiting a lung transplant. At first I moved into my Father's house and began treatment for Hepatitis C. Halfway into treatment I moved back to Fort Lauderdale, FL where I had lived 5 years previous. After 2 months in Fort Lauderdale I moved back home because I had problems getting my meds and the healthcare I needed, due to the ADAP Crisis. I moved back into my father's house, and with the help of an ASO was able to get into my own apartment.
As is often heard and seen with those who are met with such life altering challenges; one of two things can happen. You are either defeated by these challenges or you rise above them and emerge stronger. I chose to rise up above these challenges, because to give into fear would mean that I was powerless and that HIV and my addiction had won. I may have been powerless at a point in time, but I am no longer.
As my campaign above states, my HIV became my strength. Had I been diagnosed with cancer or another life altering health condition that would have been my strength too! Was I destined to become HIV positive so that I could be a voice in the community, share my experiences, advocate, and help others? Hmmm. Maybe, it makes me wonder if someone had a better plan for me. It's definitely not something I welcomed.
Of course, I would never wish HIV or any illness on anyone, but to those out there who are newly diagnosed with HIV or any illness; you have 2 choices. Give in to your fears and hide away from the world, continue down a path of self-destruction, and just stay silent. Or; educate yourself, reach out to others, find the support and assistance that you need, and speak up. Your voice matters, you matter, and there is a community of support waiting to help you. Take this challenge and use it to re-assess and re-define who you are, what you stand for, and what you want with your life.
Fear, hopelessness, and fatigue diminish the spirit; to combat these feelings. Take a walk around the block, smile more, call an old friend, make a new friend, laugh more, volunteer, eat well, rest, take your meds, meditate, and take a few deep breaths and "begin to design the life you always imagined." It may take a bit of time, but be patient with yourself and the process. Soon, you will be standing on your own again, and have re-defined, or rather found that person within you; a human being with so much potential that you never knew how to uncover, or perhaps never knew was there.
You are somebody and the World is better with you in it!
Be well,
Kevin Maloney

Rising Up and Speaking Out About HIV and Hepatitis C
Kevin Maloney
Random things about me: I am kind, caring, respectful and wanting to make a difference/impact in the World. I've been to Australia, New Zealand and 13 countries in Europe, and have traveled and lived all over the United States. I have a Bachelor's degree in Health Services Management and will be working towards my Master's In Public Health. I am an uncle of two of the MOST adorable girls in the World, and have one brother. I am a Momma's boy, and it is hard to see my mother's health in such a deteriorated state -- she has severe COPD (from 40 years of smoking). In March 2010 I was told that I have HIV and a month later, with follow-up labs, was then told I also acquired hepatitis C (not through IV drug use). I aspire to great things. Stay tuned.

It appears the Columbus Academy boys basketball team hasn't missed a beat under first-year coach Jeff Warstler.
It appears the Columbus Academy boys basketball team hasn't missed a beat under first-year coach Jeff Warstler.
Last season, the Vikings finished 20-5 overall and tied Newark Catholic for the MSL-Ohio Division title at 12-2. The Vikings lost to St. Bernard Roger Bacon 58-52 in a Division III regional semifinal.
Midway through this season, Academy again is in position to win a league title and has goals of advancing far into the postseason.
Warstler has promoted solid defense and teamwork, and he said the players have bought in.
"All the credit goes to the kids," he said. "The kids have worked extremely hard. The cupboard was really full. I'm just fortunate to have these guys and they're real coachable kids. They're sold on defense. They really want to try to hold teams to single-digit quarters as much as we can and take a lot of pride. They're doing the best they can."
The Vikings entered their game against Bloom-Carroll on Jan. 16 at 9-1 overall. The Bulldogs were sixth in last week's Division III state poll, behind top-ranked Cincinnati Summit Country Day.
Academy's first loss came Jan. 3 at Newark Catholic, 60-51 in overtime. The Vikings will play host to the Green Wave on Friday, Jan. 18.
Newark Catholic entered the week 5-0 in the league, followed by Academy at 6-1, Granville at 5-1 and Bexley at 4-2.
Newark Catholic was second in the Division IV state poll last week behind St. Henry. Last season, the Green Wave lost to Africentric 54-38 in a regional semifinal.
"We know what's ahead of us," Warstler said. "The kids are fired up."
Academy took control early in a 54-38 win over Bexley on Jan. 12.
The Vikings led 25-15 at halftime and were ahead by as many as 23 points in the second half.
Senior post player Aakaash Paladugu had 17 points and senior forward Daniel Aronowitz scored 16.
"We've done a good job so far," Aronowitz said. "We've established a new identity. We're now more of a defensive-oriented team, which really fits our personnel. They're doing a great job. We're a pretty unselfish group. Everyone is team first, which makes it fun to play."
After losing to Newark Catholic, the Vikings defeated league foes Whitehall (67-50 on Jan. 4), Granville (55-37 on Jan. 8) and Bexley.Bowling teamsreturn to action
After the holiday break, the boys bowling team resumed play looking to remain in contention for the Central Ohio High School Bowling Conference-Central Division title.
The Vikings were 6-1 in the league before facing Linden-McKinley and Mifflin on Jan. 14. Ready was first at 10-1.
Academy defeated Ready 1,873-1,836 on Jan. 9 at HP Lanes as senior Victor Liu had a 401 series. Whetstone was third with a 1,733.
The Vikings defeated Columbus West 1,744-1,566 on Jan. 10 at HP Lanes as sophomore Max Smith had a 378 series.
"Things are going great," coach Dan Olexio said. "We've rebounded from our season-opening loss (to Grandview 1,857-1,540 on Dec. 3). I've been very impressed with the energy and attitude of the team. During (the West match), we started poorly (with a 635 total through five games). Instead of getting down, the team rebounded with a five-game score of 825. I think our bowlers are having fun while improving and being competitive. It's a perfect combination."
The girls team was 2-3 in the league before facing Linden and Mifflin.
Academy defeated West 1,474-1,230 as senior Alyssa Rock had a 294 series.
"We had a much-needed win (against West) since we were on a three-match losing streak," Olexio said. "Throughout the season, our girls team has lacked consistency. The majority of this is coming from some equipment changes for several of the girls. Overall, the team's total scores are improving and I believe we will be ready for the league and district tournaments when needed."Girls basketball teamearns first win
The girls basketball team was 1-11 overall and 0-8 in the MSL-Ohio before playing Licking Valley on Jan. 15.
The Vikings earned their first win by defeating host Columbus School for Girls 48-31 on Jan. 8 as freshman post player Zaria McBride scored 22 points and freshman guard Neve Alder scored 13.

Apparently God is a Tebow fan too, maybe it was punishment for not giving him a shot sooner? How else can we describe it.
Not only does McKnight fumble that ball, it pops up and hits Edelman in stride? :shakehead
It's not just Sanchez, it isn't, not last night. Sanchez has had his problems ALL of which I have never refuted. He deserved criticism for many of his struggles. But even then I always responded with the challenges he's had due to lacking talent around him due to injuries onthe team and inexperience of youth on the roster.
I know he hasn't yet lived up to his draft status, but he's also one of a very few set of QB's who has seen an immence amount of turnover on the roster. I just maintain that he can STILL overcome them, and yes, last night, despite the game being out of reach, the fans bemoaning the crap, and seemingly anything and everything stacke dup against him, he put his foot in the dirt, and plowed forward. I can't explain it any more than I have, it was a sign for me and this kid. He still executed, he STILL had command out there, through it all. It's why we are seeing responses from Keller after the game and his disgust for the crowd.
The injuries at WR, the youth and experience, the injuries he's had to deal with all season at TE, at RB, that is HUGE for a QB, any QB. There is only ONE player on the entire team that has extended chemistry with Sanchez before this season that is healthy and active on Sundays, and after missing the first 6 games, that is Keller.
To me, Sanchez, coupled with anything and everything I've mentioned, he's also obviously dealing with his own confidence, but that confidence is impacted because of these other factors. Last night, I saw a QB that for the first time was willing to fight through it, and was numb to the fans, numb to it all, but he put his head down and he fought.
Tell me, Cam Newton is having an unbelievably bad 2nd year as a player, is he done too?
If I were a Jet fan I'd describe their play as inexcusable.Quote:

If only McNight had a lucky rabbit's foot it wouldn't have happened...:rolleyes:Quote:

But what team isn't going to be affected by ESPN doing non-stop covrage and doing all that it can to CREATE that distraction?
How do you or anybody else not see this?
ESPN, the talk radio shows, the newspapers, the hack journalists, they are eating this **** up, the opportunity to kick first, and then kick again while down? The made up circus, the crap about Woody and ratings, Tebow, all of it.
His stats are very meaningful. Most QB's would get worse, Sanchez himself when the game has gotten out of hand would completely implode, and try to do too much to get the team back into the game, the Sanchez of the first 3 years probably has 3-4 more INT's.
How can you be this much of a moron? Rex created this with his big fat mouth, attention whoring, and "open lockerroom".
Add a loud, amatuer hour first time HC to an attention hungry cluess owner and this is what you get.
Yeah, it's the media's fault Bart....:rolleyes:
It is sanchez.
It is his fault.
He is terrible.
A capable QB would never let this happen. A capable QB would have won us the superbowl in 2010.
I agree that blame can be placed to Rex and Tanny and they're jobs should be on the line as well, but come on man! The QB is everything. When you have one, everything else takes care of itself. When you don't, you start blaming the wind, the tide, the moon and stars before you can see the truth...

Ages 8 and up
Frankenweenie (87 min., PG) This dark stop-motion animated 3-D feature from Tim Burton will likely petrify under-10s, even as this tale about a sad boy who brings his dead dog back to life transfixes older kids. With an unusual film like this, parents really need to think about what their own children can handle on a big screen and in 3-D. When the dead animals are transformed, they emerge as monsters and terrorize the town. Adults react like a mob. No one is shown being hurt or killed, but the overall atmosphere is definitely old-style horror.
Ages 10 and up
Here Comes the Boom (105 min., PG) Kevin James is a high school biology teacher who enters the mixed martial arts ring to raise money for the school. The fight scenes feature major mayhem, and some of it looks painful. There's an episode of projectile vomiting. The script includes mildly crude language and mild sexual innuendo.
The middle ground
Alex Cross (102 min., PG-13) This thriller starring Tyler Perry as James Patterson's forensic detective hero is graphic and violent enough to deserve an R. It has scenes of strongly implied torture, including the severing of a victim's fingers, and then, later, use of a severed thumb to open a fingerprint-sensitive vault. A kinky though nongraphic sexual situation revolves around sadomasochism and turns lethal. Multiple murders are shown with point- blank shootings. They are violent, if not hugely bloody. The film includes thunderous shootouts, car chases, and explosions. The dialogue includes occasional profanity.
Taken 2 (97 min., PG-13) In the original, it was former agent Liam Neeson's daughter (Maggie Grace) who was kidnapped. Now it's the turn of Neeson and ex-his wife (Famke Janssen). The mayhem features much plaster-shattering gunplay, but with little blood. Neeson's character kills several people with his bare hands, and the fights are intense. The dialogue includes occasional mild profanity (the S-word in particular). There are references to sex slavery.
Argo (120 min., R) Ben Affleck directed and stars in this based-on-fact story of how the CIA rescued six US hostages from Iran in 1980. There's strong profanity throughout. One scene shows Iranian revolutionaries shooting a man in the street. Scenes depicting angry mobs and armed revolutionary guards bristle with tension. Real and reenacted footage of the 1979 takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran is upsetting to watch.
Seven Psychopaths (109 min., R) Martin McDonagh wrote and directed this very funny — and very gory — criminal farce. The film is full of bloody, up-close gun and knife violence. A reenactment of a Vietnam War-era incident is used, in which a Buddhist monk sets himself on fire as a protest. In addition to steaming profanity, characters use racial and ethnic slurs, including the N-word. The film includes a brief, semi-explicit sexual situation and brief drug use.Jane Horwitz, Washington Post Writers Group.

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
1967 Mustang GT Fastback - Priceless
What Will It Cost To Have Fun With A '67 Mustang Fastback?
There are landmark moments we remember in our lives-our first kiss, that first drive with a new driver's license, and-that first car.
Once, long ago, there was a used-car lot in Blackburg, Virginia, housing a '67 Mustang fastback that had the GT Equipment Group, a 390 4V High Performance V-8 backed by a four-speed and limited-slip rear diff. Inside was an AM/FM radio, Interior Dcor Group, and the odo showed just 38,000 miles. Ahhh, the naivet of youth that brought temptation and surrender.
Meet Larry and Pam Anders of Atlanta. That youthful purchase in rural Virginia cost Larry $900. More recently in 2001, Larry got involved in a restoration project that surely cost him more than the original purchase price of the car. As you can see, it is more than just a restoration. It is a restomod. In this new age of modding, we are free to express ourselves without fear of condemnation from the purists. We can build our vintage Fords any way we see fit.
Since the car was fairly rare, the Anders kept their approach tasteful. they installed '90 Mustang GT bucket seats, which look as though they could have come from the factory. They're comfortable, which is why we use them in classic Mustangs. And they look sharp in a slippery fastback. That's a LeCarra steering wheel, so popular with vintage-Mustang builders, as well as a JME instrument cluster with Autometer gauges.
Where interior gives way to the underworld of a transmission tunnel and engine compartment, it is more like 1967 than 1990. Poking up in the engine bay is a FE big-block, just like Larry remembers from long ago in Virginia. On the surface, it looks like a 390. Inside, it is a 427 block stroked to 455 ci of brute torque and low-down baditude. Larry achieved this displacement with a 427 block, which has a 4.23-inch bore. When he installed the 428 crankshaft, it increased the 427's 3.78-inch stroke to 3.98 inches. How much wind can you huff through an FE block? Plenty, when you bore the 4.23-inch cylinders .030-inch oversize.
Larry also used a 950-cfm Holley atomizer on top. Ceramic-coated Hooker headers scavenge the spent, rich fumes. In the valley is a flat-tappet mechanical camshaft from Comp Cams. There's more than one-half inch of lift, with 282 degrees of duration. This is old school, and ain't it wonderful? When Larry idles by, listen for the crisp clatter of 16 adjustable, shaft-mounted rocker arms slapping out a tempo at idle. There is a lot of displacement going on here.
Keeping that displacement moving is a good old-fashioned Hurst Super/Shifter and Top Loader four-speed. That sends power to the nine-inch and its Detroit no-spin rear axle; which in turn helps spin 15-inch Torq-Thrust IIs wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber. Efficiency and fuel economy, who needs 'um! Larry and Pam don't-they're just having too much fun.
Classic Mustangs don't get this good without a lot of hard work. Larry gives much of the credit to Murphy's Restorations in Hampton, Georgia, specifically, Sam Murphy, Tommy Vincent, Kenny Salter, and Bill Bundy. It takes the creative power and mutual respect of great friendships to get through challenging restorations. Larry forged his way through this one with a whole lot of help from his friends. He has taken three Best of Shows, one second place, and five first place awards. Not bad considering what these guys started with three years ago. All things considered-priceless.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Sunday is the final day of Georgia's tax holiday on energy and water efficient products and appliances.
The state is waiving its share of the sales tax through Sunday on Energy Star and Water Sense appliances that cost less than $1,500. Local governments have the option to do the same.
Those appliances can include air conditioners, ceiling fans, clothes washers, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, programmable thermostats and refrigerators.
It's the first such holiday since 2010. Georgia lawmakers had suspended the sales tax waiver as state revenues plummeted in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
But tax legislation passed this year brought back the sales tax holiday.

Siyani Chambers made all five of his 3-point shots at St. Mary's Monday (Kelley Cox).
MORAGA, Calif. – The Harvard men's basketball team went 9-of-15 from beyond the arc for the game, but the Crimson dropped a heartbreaker at St. Mary's, 70-69, at McKeon Pavilion in a game shown live nationally on ESPN2 Monday evening.
Jonah Travis tied his career-high with 19 points, making 8-of-10 field-goal attempts, while Siyani Chambers went 5-of-5 from beyond the arc and finished with 16 points and seven assists for Harvard, which falls to 7-5 on the year.
Wesley Saunders scored 14 points to extend his streak of reaching double digits in scoring to 12 games, and the Crimson shot 52.1 percent as a team (25-of-48). Saunders also added five assists and five rebounds. Laurent Rivard drained three 3-pointers and grabbed a team-high six rebounds for Harvard. Mitchell Young paced St. Mary's (11-3) with a 16-point effort.
Harvard led by as many as 18 points in the first half, but the Gaels outscored the Crimson, 49-34, in the second stanza to pull out the win.
With 1:03 left in the second half, St. Mary's cut Harvard's lead to just one point, 69-68, and then regained possession following a Crimson turnover with 21.4 seconds remaining. With 1.1 ticks left, Harvard was whistled for a foul, and Young made both foul shots for St. Mary's, giving the Gaels their first lead of the contest.
Travis scored the game's first four points, giving Harvard an early 4-0 lead after the first two minutes of play.Rivard drained a 3-pointer, as the Crimson went up 7-2, and then Travis added another bucket, making it 9-3 before the first media timeout. Saunders added two foul shots, giving the Crimson an eight-point lead, 11-3, and then accepted a pass from Chambers for a dunk, 13-3.
The Gaels went on a 8-0 run to get within two, 13-11, but Travis continued his scoring touch, making a layup, as Harvard led by four, 16-12. At the 10:31 mark, Steve Moundou-Missi drew contact before hitting a layup and added the free throw, making it 19-12. The Crimson went back up by 10-, 22-12, when Moundou-Missi launched a 3-pointer from the corner before the shot clock expired. Harvard added to its lead when Saunders stole the ball in the Harvard zone and dribbled the length of the floor, finishing with a layup, 24-12.
With 5:08 left in the half, Chambers drained a triple from the top of the key, and he then made another 3-pointer on the next trip down the floor, as Harvard led by 16, 30-14. The Crimson, which held St. Mary's to 5-of-27 shooting to open the game, went up by 18, 32-14, when Moundou-Missi made another basket in the paint. Before the close of the half, Rivard buried a triple, as the Crimson carried a 35-21 lead into the break.
Travis had nine points to lead the Crimson in the first, and Harvard held St. Mary's to 1-of-9 shooting (.111) from long distance in the first 20 minutes of action.
Saunders made two layups early in the second, and Travis connected on a basket off an assist by Chambers as the Crimson went up by 15, 41-26. The Gaels responded with an 11-3 run to make it a seven-point contest, 44-37, but Chambers drew a foul as the shot clock expired, and hit one free throw, 45-37.
Harvard went back up by double digits after a reverse layup by Travis, 47-37, and Chambers drained his fourth triple from the wing, 50-40. On the Crimson's next trip down the floor, Saunders made a nice move in the paint and used the backboard to make a basket, 52-42. The Gaels went on a mini-run, 6-0, to get within four, 52-48, but Saunders headed to the charity stripe and made both to get Harvard back up by six.
Chambers knocked down his fifth 3-pointer in as many tries, 57-50, and then Christian Webster made a strong move, finishing with a layup, 59-53. With 7:49 remaining, Travis hit a floater, as the Crimson led by seven, 61-54, and Rivard connected on a triple, giving Harvard a 10-point advantage.
With the shot clock winding down, Chambers sent a pass to Travis, who finished with a bucket under the hoop, 66-56. On Harvard's next possession, Travis scored on a two-handed dunk, giving him 19 points on the evening. The Gaels climbed back to within two, 68-66, with just over two minutes left, but Webster headed to the line on a loose-ball foul and hit one of two foul shots, 69-66.
The Crimson will return east and will host Rice at Lavietes Pavilion Saturday, Jan. 5 at 4 p.m.

Considering the fact obitos hair grew quite a bit within this chapter, but we saw no other interaction with madara...then madara is in some sort of stasis?

So is Madara already in control of the 4th Mizukage at this point? Since it seems it's the Mist ninja who are going to kill Rin. Fairly well constructed plan of Madara to convert Obito. The Zetsu's already planted the seed of being able to revive the dead so Obito will get on board to bring Rin back. Things are falling into place.

there's still much more that needs to be explained about even revelations in this chapter. for one, obito merging with spiral zetsu doesn't totally add up because the tobi we have known takes off the spiral mask like an ordinary mask with a strap. it's not part of his body or even part of the zetsu body at that point. i could be wrong, but it looks like just a mask.
also, it does seem that obito grew his hair long enough to resemble the tobi that kisame and itachi met, but then what is the reason for him cutting it short again when he was still impersonating madara?

Obito now maybe has a 3rd eye lol.
I think the mask also serves for battle purpose and protection as well as hiding himself so he can masquerade as Madara.
Whatever the case, he CAN'T BE SEEN by Kakashi and Rin now, it would be too complicated and a huge plothole since Kakashi would've recognized Tobi..

Also, why can't Obito cut his hair? Even ignoring the multiple Zetsus hanging around (that could all cut his hair for him), isn't there something a chuunin-level shinobi can do about scruffy hair? This is especially weird since Obito was probably training the entire time, in which case having long hair is generally counterproductive...(This was a minor quibble at best.)
Additionally, just how long has Obito been underground that his hair has grown so long? It would take me well over a year for my hair to grow as much as Obito's did...

Saying two years isn't enough time to take on Minato doesn't really seem to count for anything, seeing as in two years Sasuke somehow fought against like all the Kages at once. So, regardless, worse things have happened.

As for his long hair, I'm thinking that's a device to show a significant time has passed while being in Madaras care...I continue to believe that mizukage Madara (and ultimately the one that met kisamae) was the real one madara only because the eye we are shown during that chapter is a left one...obito is currently missing his. I'm not sure about the one that met itachi...

Wow, somehow this is all coming together and making sense in a way. One thing bothers me though. More than anything else. They have the technology for ANDROIDS, but they don't have guns or cars? At least it explains the "recording" ability.

This chapter suggests that Zetsu is an artificial creation, but how could someone like Madara create him? Madara had the plan of taking some cells from the 1st hokage while fighting, but it's hard to believe that he could do it alone. First, he was mortally wounded, otherwise the 1st hokage and the entire world would not believe that he died in the VotE, so how did he survive and hide (ninja also take the dead body to prevent secrets and sharingan eyes of being stolen). Second, he is not the scientist type who takes some cells and then grows them in some underground laboratory (like Dr.Gero in DBZ) and then finds a way to create life support and androids out of a few stolen cells. Black Zetsu might be the answer. If the bodies of these androids are based on the 1st hokage's cells then it can be that their minds were created by Madara's genjutsu, and in that case if Obito fused his body with an android that could also result in some level of mind fusion, which leads to Tobi's messed up personality that carries Madara's will layered over Obito's. This would also mean that if the upper Madara-layer is broken then Obito's original personality may break out and turn against Madara. But Kakashi is at his limit, it's difficult to imagine how he could break down Tobi's mind in a fight.

It could explain the shift from personalities from Tobi is a good boy to Uchiha Madara, the Tobi is a good boy bit was Obito allowing "Tobi" to move around and speak, then when he became "Madara" it was Obito moving and speaking.

Manchester City will be without James Milner for the visit of Everton on Saturday afternoon.
The Premier League champions will be looking to extend their 15-game unbeaten run in the league with a victory over the Toffees, who suffered a 2-0 defeat on their last trip to the Etihad Stadium.
But Everton have an excellent record against City - they've won four of the last five matches against the Etihad Stadium club since Roberto Mancini took charge.
Mancini's team are yet to taste defeat in the Premier League so far this season, and their home record has been almost perfect - six wins and one draw from seven home games.
But Everton have been in good form this campaign as well, and David Moyes's side sit sixth in the Premier League table.
The Toffees can jump into the top four if results go their way on Saturday, but they'll probably settle for a point at one of the trickiest grounds to visit in the top flight.
The match is a 3pm kick off in Manchester. Here is the GMF predicted team for Manchester City…
Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Kolarov, Nasri, Silva, Toure, Barry, Aguero, Tevez

Paula Cole
(675 Records/United For Opportunity)
I love Paula Cole's voice, but not her latest record. It's an independent, Kickstarter-funded project billed as a return to her Americana roots, but it really shows how far she's strayed. Take the song "Manitoba"—something's amiss when it sounds more like a West Hollywood studio than a Western Canadian province. Cole has a glorious voice that moves across octaves and scales with the ease of a supple 10-year-old ascending monkey bars. But therein lies the problem. Cole sings like the Grammy Award-winning pop artist she has been. Pop songs aren't about much; hence we expect to marvel over the performance. By contrast, folk songs tell tales, flog causes, dazzle with melodies and reveal feelings. If these are lost in vocal pyrotechnics, all that's left is noise. Cole has a powerful voice, but she doesn't articulate well. Her diva performance on Raven is impressive, but the songs leave no impression.
The Flaming Lips
The Terror
(Warner Bros.)
The Flaming Lips' newest album reveals the band's evolution into producers of a musical dreamscape. Relying equally on vocals and helicoptic space rock rhythms, their music flows seamlessly in an almost pause-free album. An emotional maturation is evident, as the songs fade and transform in a chaotic rhapsody that is cerebral, yet accessible. Although some individual song distinction is lost in this stream-of-consciousness style, title track "The Terror" is a standout, showcasing the band's ability to transition between tonal and word-based communication.
Dicey Riley
Row of Pints and Walking Dead
With their latest disc, the members of Dicey Riley offer a solid slab of Celtic rock, fueled in part by the heavy guitar sounds of new addition Tim O'Brien. Theirs is a genre that's especially challenging—the tropes of Irish rebellion, diaspora and hard living have been around so long it's rare that new ground is broken. Singer and songwriter John McLaughlin approaches that challenge in a couple of ways. In most of these songs, he extrapolates and develops music from traditional Irish tunes, crafting something new with, by turns, classic rock sensibilities and lyrical, pipe- and fiddle-laced pop. McLaughlin's vocals ride the line between sing and shout in appealing fashion, and on the standout "My Collar is Blue," the derivative-meets-modern sensibility works extremely well, offering a wistful yet fist-pumping anthem in the finest Celt-rock tradition. Dicey Riley has plied its trade for a good few years now, but happily, the energy and fire of these tunes is, if anything, yet more distilled than on past efforts.

WirelessCar Awarded Best China Telematics Company
by The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 6, 2013--WirelessCar, one of the leading providers of telematics solutions, has been awarded as the "Best China Telematics company" for 2012 by China Telematics, one of the most important telematics magazines in China, at the IOVA Annual Conference on 24th of January 2013.
IOVA is the Strategic Alliance of China Internet of Vehicles industrial technology innovation.
The annual conference dropped its curtain in Sheraton Beijing on Jan 24th 2013. On the conference, achievements of recent years for telematics industry have been reviewed, and the policies, market trends and industrial hot points have led experts from different parts of the ecosystem into discussion through presentations and panel interactions.
WirelessCar has been awarded as the "Best China Telematics Company", which was voted by the 1029 industrial elites.
WirelessCar China director Kevin Wang received this distinction on the event. This reward shows that WirelessCar's remarkable contribution and it's outstanding service ability have been widely recognized within the industry in China.

In 2011, WirelessCar founded its own subsidiaries in Beijing and Tianjin in order to build partnerships, joint ventures and government relationships that are mandatory to operate a successful business in China. Today, WirelessCar employs 21 experts in China in the fields of development, testing and service operation.
WirelessCar offers connected services in China for customers like BMW or Audi.
"Again, WirelessCar has been recognized for its outstanding capabilities and global reach. Today's Car OEM's are looking for proven and global solutions that are easy to adopt in new markets and quickly help them to introduce new innovative services. The Connected Vehicle has become a true value added service offering which attract today's car customer." says Martin Rosell, Managing Director, WirelessCar.
