J-Hon is a name and a face that every skater in San Diego knows and loves. Just say the name 'J-Hon' and people get psyched! Based in North County, J-Hon has worked as a photographer for Black Box, most specifically with the $lave brand, and has had several photos in TransWorld as well. Never one to sit still, J-Hon has organized a photo show in Oceanside, California opening this Friday called 5 x 10 at the Twenty20 Gallery. Read through this Proof Sheet to get acquainted with this man of many talents, and get some insight on the show as well. See you this Friday at the opening!
How long have you been shooting skating and what got you into it?
I've been shooting skate photos for over 13 years, I guess what got me into it was just being around the homies I grew up skating with.
Is there one photograph or photographer that inspired you to take up photography?
Oh yeah, it's embedded in my head 'til this day, the photo was shot during the the civil rights movement at Kelly Ingram park, Birmingham, photographer Bob Adelman. The photo displayed protesters getting hosed down by firemen to prevent the ongoing demonstrations, each protester held on to each other and stood strong.
What's the best and worst advice you've been given on photography?
Best advice, never stop shooting. Worst advice, your equipment is not good enough—haha.
Do you have a favorite photo of your own?
Matt Mumford, backside nose pick on that bump to bar in Sacramento. I guess it's one of my favorites because it was my first cover and also I never thought I would be shooting a legend like Mumford growing up.
What's the most interesting story behind one of your photos?
I would have to say the photo of the women passed out with her eyes open due to a car accident. What makes it interesting is the show of compassion strangers display when one is in need for help. At that point it doesn't matter who the person is, all selfishness is lost.
What advice would you give to up and coming skate photogs?
Don't ever let people tell you what you love to do is wrong. Keep doing what makes you happy, if you come across someone who doesn't understand that then they don't deserve to be in you're life.
Do you prefer digital or film?
Depends on the job, I shoot film for more personal projects and digital for "we need this shit right now" projects. Haha.
What's in your camera bag?
Nikon D700, Nikon 16mm fishey, Nikon 24-70mm, two SB-800s, two Lumedynes, Quantum T4 Turbo pack, Olympus Pen F, Olympus Stylus Epic 2.8, Canon 1VHS, Canon 50mm 1.8 and Canon fisheye 15mm 2.8.
What's the idea behind the Oceanside 5×10 photo show?
There's a total of 10 photographers with the same objective, which is to shoot all photos based in Oceanside showing your perspective. I believe when people think of Oceanside the first thing that comes to mind is the beach, palm trees, and Marines. This show is going to show a different side of Oceanside.
Is this the first show you've curated?
I just recommended a couple photographers to the show. Wouldn't necessary say I curated it.
Why did you pick these 10 photographers?
They all have great times and stories behind them. That makes me love what I do.

10 Limits to Human Perception ... and How They Shape Your World
Every human has limits. You can only run so fast, jump so high, and go for so long without water. But what about restrictions upon our five senses, those tools that we use to perceive and understand our surroundings? Here are ten limitations on human perception that have a direct impact on how we understand the world.

Apache Threatens to Leave JCP
- Share

Reading List
The Apache Software Foundation board has made an announcement to leave the JCP if their rights as implementers of the Java specification are not upheld.
Through the JSPA, the agreement under which both Oracle and the ASF participate in the JCP, the ASF has been entitled to a license for the test kit for Java SE (the "TCK") that will allow the ASF to test and distribute a release of the Apache Harmony project under the Apache License. Oracle is violating their contractual obligation as set forth under the rules of the JCP by only offering a TCK license that imposes additional terms and conditions that are not compatible with open source or Free software licenses.
The ASF will terminate its relationship with the JCP if our rights as implementers of Java specifications are not upheld by the JCP Executive Committee to the limits of the EC's ability. The lack of active, strong and clear enforcement of those rights implies that the JSPA agreements are worthless, confirming that JCP specifications are nothing more than proprietary documentation.
At issue is the ongoing refusal of Sun, and later Oracle, to provide a testing compatibility kit for the ratification of their open-source Java implementation. The reason for this is financial – a significant portion of revenue that Oracle receives is for the use of Java on mobile devices, and a freely-available JVM for mobile devices may threaten that revenue stream. (The OpenJDK is not suitable for many embedded devices, as it requires that all source code be released under the GPL, thus requiring a commercial license.)
However, the JCP document requires that JSRs be available. Under the umbrella JSR for the Java 6 platform, JSR 270, the licensing terms include:
10. The Java SE 6 TCK will be offered for license at no charge, with trademark and branding rights, but without support, to qualified not-for-profit entities (including not-for-profit academic institutions) and qualified individuals engaged in efforts to create compatible implementations of the Java SE 6 Specification.
It is this discrepancy that the Apache board has been complaining about since April 2007, then referring to the Java 5 specification. The key problem, then as now, is the field of use limitation:
Since August 2006, the ASF has been attempting to secure an acceptable license from Sun for the test kit for Java SE. This test kit, called the "Java Compatibility Kit" or "JCK", is needed by the Apache Harmony project to demonstrate its compatibility with the Java SE specification, as required by Sun's specification license. The JCK license Sun is offering imposes IP rights restrictions through limits on the "field of use" available to users of our software.
These restrictions are contrary to the terms of the Java Specification Participation Agreement (JSPA) - the governing rules of the JCP - to which Sun is contractually bound to comply as a signatory. Specifically, the JSPA requires that:
- A specification lead cannot "impose any contractual condition or covenant that would limit or restrict the right of any licensee to create or distribute such Independent Implementations" (section 5.C.III)
- A specification lead must license all necessary IP royalty-free to any compatible implementation of a specification (section 5.B)
This implementation is orthogonal to the patent case between Oracle and Google, which is related to the JVM itself. Although Harmony ships the DRLVM (originally donated by Intel), the availability of the TCK would have granted a use of those patents. Without the TCK, Apache Harmony's JVM may be in violation of some of those patents – though an Oracle-driven court hearing would automatically enrol the JSPA dispute, something Oracle is keen to avoid.
Since IBM joined OpenJDK, there has been an ongoing question of can Oracle save Java? With no softening on Oracle's stance – despite originally saying that the spec should be availble, prior to the takeover – this endgame will play out in public.
Unfortunately, whilst Oracle still needs to get a clue, others, such as Doug Lea have already left the JCP.
Whether Apache stays as members of the JCP or not, Oracle are unlikely to change their stance on the unrestricted TCK availability for Java. And even if Apache were to stay and vote against Java 7, Oracle would almost certainly still push it through anyway.
Oracle has painted itself into a corner with the community. Many of the original developers of MySQL have left (and created open-source forks like MariaDB and Drizzle); the OpenSolaris board, having resigned, has moved on to Illumos and many other luminaries have also left. There's even a poll asking whether the JCP is an independent standards organization.
Since Oracle control Java, and also the JCP, they can terminate the JCP as easily as they terminated the OpenSolaris project. As Apache does not have the resources to get into a prolonged legal battle about upholding the contractual obligation, whether they stay or go will have no impact on whether Oracle releases Java 7 next year or not. As a result, leaving the JCP is the only option left available to them.

past few years ppl had been saying java is dead,
Which people? Besides people have been saying for years that Elvis is alive, the moon landing was a hoax, 9/11 was an inside job and that no one runs COBOL applications. Just because people (even if by the millions) say moronic, unsubstantiated, unqualified and unquantifiable stuff, that doesn't make it any truer or at least less moronic, does it?
now you have it, I guess if you do say something long

Oh yeah, I can see the thousands of companies and their tens of thousands of deployments and their investment in millions and millions of Java LOCs all of the sudden dying a death of a thousand cuts and disappear into thin air with no new Java development to occur for the next decade or so just because Apache is leaving the JCP.
Yeah, Java is oh so truly dead </rolls eyes at the n00bery>

is this the same Apache that copied JBoss source code? It ended up in IBM hands.

My sentiments exactly. I appreciate the good stuff the Apache folks have been churning for the rest of us to use. But Jesus Christ riding a pony, do they really believe they are all that? That Oracle will actually care (or that it should) when it comes to its own legal property?
Business will continue as usual, including the business of writing software (both good and bad software) in Java, independently of whether Apache remains in the JCP. Oracle could in its own right pull the plug on the JCP and play "benevolent dictator" (it might actually be a good thing.)
Too many chiefs in a tribe with a single pony. This is software. Owned by a company. A company that tells you how to play with its property. Them pulling out of the JCP will not have any discernible impact in the server side of things which is where Oracle's interests lie.
And if people feel so strongly about being told how to play with private intellectual property by the current legal owner, then they should just go and play with something else. There are quite a few fine programming languages out there.
Re: wow
Tim Vernum
A company that tells you how to play with its property.
And then does the opposite.
The issue here is that Sun committed to do certain things, and then reneged on that, but expects the members of the JCP EC to carry on as if nothing happened.
Oracle can terminate the JCP if they like, but it make no sense for an organisation like Apache to voluntarily participate in the JCP if Oracle isn't willing to play by the JCP rules.
It's one way or other other.
Oracles either gives up on the JCP and admits that they don't actually care what the rest of the Java community thinks, or they allow the JCP to be the JCP, and actually follow the rules themselves.
Either way is within their rights, but this half-hearted, disingenuous, charade that they're playing now doesn't help anyone.
The other thing is, that for Apache, there is a potential legal issue. The Apache Software Foundation is a registered, tax-exempt, non-profit corporation.
Its purpose is "the creation and maintenance of 'open source' software", and its resources need to be used "for the public benefit".
If the Apache's place on the JCP is simply to give Oracle the appearance of community support, without actually serving the public benefit in the creation of open source software, then the Apache directors will have issues.
If being a member of the JCP (EC) does not contribute to the stated purposes of the ASF, then they will need to stand-down.

If the trend does not go well, then companies may start to be cautious of Java/JVM. That does bother me as a java developer. I myself do hope Oracle does something good for Java.
Apache does not have the resources to get into a prolonged legal battle
Vladimir Atehortúa
And if I was on their shoes, I'd be keen to pay for a heavyweight lawfirm to help apache bring Oracle to court about upholding Oracle's contractual obligation to the apache foundation.
Those guys who won in the Novell + RedHat vs Troll case would be a great fit for example.
I'm just wondering why isn't it happening. I really really would enjoy to sit and watch a trial unfold about Oracle not meeting their contractual obligation...

As Simon Peyton Jones has said before, Java has reached the popularity point of immortality. But when looking at the future direction of the industry, you can't watch the followers who play it safe and conservative. You have to keep an eye on the trendsetters and the innovators. Innovation is leaving Java - that doesn't mean it will die soon or ever, but when the really creative talent goes to find greener pastures, eventually the industry will follow, it just lags 10 years behind. As long as Google is committed to Java there will always be a feather in the Java cap, but we'll see how long that sort of thing lasts under Oracle.
The reason that Java has become as popular as it has (I would argue) is that Sun really balanced the line between ownership - funding, support, leadership in the future of Java - and also letting it be open to other large companies to have a stake in, and fostering open source to thrive in it. If Oracle takes an iron fist approach, the Java ecosystem could become the next .NET, only probably less interesting. Will that mean its dead? No, but it will be as good as dead for many current Java supporters.
Apache: Stay involved!
Cameron Purdy
If Oracle takes an iron fist approach ..
Oracle has already made it clear that it supports and is investing in OpenJDK, and has gotten support for OpenJDK now from both IBM and Apple.
The Apache licensing issue is not new; Oracle inherited this issue when it acquired Sun. While I don't fully understand the issue, or know how it will end up being resolved, I hope that Apache stays positively involved with Java, as they have added significantly to the fabric of the Java community and ecosystem over the years -- and whether or not there is always agreement, their voice is valued in the conversation.

- Malala Yousafzai, 15, has become a global symbol for girls' education worldwide
- She was shot in October by the Pakistan Taliban, which she defied by going to school
- But instead of silencing Malala, the shooting has only served to strengthen her voice
- She is now attending school in the UK; in July, she will speak at the United Nations
CNN Films' "Girl Rising" tells the stories of extraordinary girls from across the globe and the power of education to change the world.
(CNN) -- Six months ago, Malala Yousafzai was lying in a hospital bed, recovering from a Taliban attack in which she was shot point-blank in the head and neck.
The shooting was meant to silence, once and for all, the outspoken Pakistani teenager who had dared to defy the Taliban's ban against girls in school.
But it backfired: Instead of silencing the 15-year-old, the attack only made her voice more powerful.
Malala's story has raised global awareness of girls' education, a cause she has championed for years. And now that she's out of the hospital and back in school, she is determined to keep fighting for equality. She will be speaking at the United Nations this summer, and her memoir is set to be published later this year.
"God has given me this new life," she said in February, her first public statement since the shooting. "I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated."
Worldwide, there are 66 million girls out of school, according to UNESCO -- many more than boys, who don't have to face the same discrimination and obstacles that girls do in some countries.
After hearing of Malala's shooting, however, more people have become aware of the disparity and joined her fight. Three million people across the world signed the "I am Malala" petition to demand universal girls' education. World leaders and celebrities such as Madonna and Angelina Jolie have voiced their support and helped raise money for the cause. And in Pakistan, there have been rallies and calls for change.
"It seems that Malala's courage has awoken Pakistan's silent majority who are no longer prepared to tolerate the threats and intimidations of the Pakistan Taliban," said former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a U.N. special envoy for global education.
Malala's crusade started years before the shooting, when she started writing a blog for the BBC about life in Pakistan's conservative Swat Valley. Her father, Ziauddin, continued to operated a school there despite a Taliban edict that girls in the region are banned from getting an education.
In her blog, Malala talked openly about the challenges and fears and threats her family faced. At first, she wrote anonymously, but she eventually became a public figure, giving on-camera interviews with CNN and other news outlets.
"I have the right of education," she said in a 2011 interview with CNN. "I have the right to play. I have the right to sing. I have the right to talk. I have the right to go to market. I have the right to speak up."
The media attention drew the ire of the Taliban, which says it was behind Malala's shooting in October. She was riding home in a van with some of her schoolmates when masked men stopped the vehicle and demanded to know which one of them was Malala. When Malala was identified, the men opened fire on her and two other girls, both of whom also survived their injuries.
"We do not tolerate people like Malala speaking against us," a Taliban spokesman said after the shooting.
Malala was critically injured in the attack, but she suffered no permanent brain injuries. She underwent several successful surgeries in Pakistan and the United Kingdom, where she now lives after her father was given a job with the Pakistani Consulate.
In March, she went back to school for the first time since the attack, attending an all-girls high school in Birmingham, England.
And while she recovers from her injuries, she is continuing to raise awareness and money for education. Last month, she announced a $45,000 grant to a fund that was set up in her name -- and the first to benefit will be girls from the Swat Valley.
"We are going to educate 40 girls, and I invite all of you to support the Malala Fund," Malala said in a video that was played at the Women in the World summit in New York. "Let us turn the education of 40 girls into 40 million girls."
Jolie, a U.N. special envoy, will be donating $200,000 to the Malala Fund, according to Women in the World. The fund was set up by the Vital Voices Global Partnership, a nongovernmental organization founded in 1997 by Hillary Clinton.
"In parts of the Indian subcontinent, Afghanistan and Africa, intimidation and violence are the daily reality of life for many girls who want to go to school and the many educators who want to teach them," Brown wrote in a recent op-ed for CNN.com. "Even today, five months after Malala's shooting in the Swat Valley, her school friends remain in fear of violence simply for attempting to return to school."
On July 12, her 16th birthday, Malala will speak to the United Nations about the issue.
Since her shooting, she has become the face of girls' education, a global symbol. She has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and last year she was selected as a runner-up for Time magazine's Person of the Year.
"She is the daughter of the whole world," her father told CNN. "The world owns her."
CNN's Ashley Fantz, Jason Hanna, Shaan Khan and Laura Smith-Spark contributed to this report.

Users of performance-enhancing drugs have not been forgiven by Hall-of-Fame-voting members of the Baseball Writers' Assn. of America. That much became clearer than ever on Wednesday.
Roger Clemens was named on only 37.6% of ballots; home run king Barry Bonds on just 36.2%. To be inducted, a player must be mentioned on 75% of the ballots.
But the most striking example of a player tainted by PED use was illustrated further down the list of 37 players who were potential inductees.
Nineteen players didn't draw the required 5% to be included on the next ballot.
The next player up the line -- last among players who received enough support to be included in future votes -- is the fourth player in Major League Baseball history with 500 or more home runs and 3,000 or more hits in his career.

Google just made the day of anyone who needs to open Microsoft Office documents - that's practically everyone with oh, a job, folks. It's decided to give away the normally pricey Quickoffice US$14.99/$19.99 (RM47.44/RM63.26) app for free.
Have some extra 10GB to go
This move will likely bring the Big G some major brownie points as Quickoffice is one of the most popular apps around, despite its formerly heavy price tag.
To sweeten the deal, sign in on the app before September 26, 2013 and you'll get another 10GB slapped onto your Google Drive storage for the next two years.
If you're one of the unlucky sods who paid good money for Quickoffice there's some bad news. While you may continue to to use your old paid app on iOS, Google recommends you download the new free version as the old iOS version is not fully compatible with iOS 7. For paid version users on iOS and Android, the old app will no longer have access to cloud services after March 31, 2014.
Good news for anyone who bought the app on or after June 17, 2013: you can contact Google and get a free 50GB for your Google Drive.

Goal-by-Goal Analysis: CCHA Semifinals & Finals
Every morning I wake up and go through the same process. I head straight to the Keurig and start making coffee. I use the make-your-own filter because it saves money and lets me choose from different types of ground coffee, but it doesn't taste very good. There's always grit in the bottom of the cup, like the ugly duckling cousin of french press coffee.
I'm a creature of habit, you see. Sure, the coffee I make admittedly isn't very good but I continue to make it. It's just what I do in the morning. At some point I think hockey slipped into that domain for me.
I love hockey, always have and always will. At some point, though, it just wasn't as exciting as it used to be. I watched all season long but couldn't bring myself to write one of these goal-by-goal analysis posts from November to February because it just isn't much fun to write about how it feels to get punched in the face repeatedly.
I started writing again because there was a storyline besides misery to write about. Either The Streak would come to a screeching halt or it would be miraculously continued. What came of this was more than I could have hoped for in some ways and a bitter disappointment in others.
The second period of the Miami game reminded me why hockey became part of my routine in the first place. Those four goals were an adrenaline bomb to the system, the crescendo of a symphony writ by composite sticks, metal blades, and a black rubber sphere. I can't remember the last time I was that excited about hockey, and in that way the tournament run demonstrated just how far this team had come.
At the same time, I don't see how this season can avoid being labeled a failure. Sure, the team came on strong when its collective back was against the wall. They also finished below .500 and broke The Streak. Lessons will undoubtedly be learned from this season, and as Brian said in his post the future does indeed look bright. If anything this season will be remembered for both utter ineptitude and the kind of performance that can only come from seeing the prospects of your future in front of you and fighting like hell to avoid them.
At least, that's how I'll remember this team. They were both the team that sleepwalked through being bludgeoned by the Bowling Green Falcons at home and the team that obliterated the No. 3 Miami Redhawks in the CCHA semifinals.

Amelia the Mystery
By: Mounisha K.
Illinois, Age 10
1. I think that Amelia Earhart was sent as a spy so that they can see about the Japan naval base and what they are planning, but they accidentally told the Japanese that they are sending a spy . Then the Japanese killed her by shooting at her airplane and she fell into the ocean. Then they killed her and the parts of the airplane are still somewhere in the bottom of the ocean.
2. My next theory is that her navigator probably wasnt paying attention and Amelia was trying to wake him up and she lost control of the plane so she drove into the ocean and both of them swam back to shore and are living on an island we dont know.

\[Editor's Note: It looks as if this month's Reader Challenge was a real stumper. We had no winners this month, but keep looking for the Reader Challenge in SQL Server Magazine UPDATE, a free, weekly SQL Server email newsletter, which you can order at http://www.sqlmag.com. The author's solution follows this month's problem.\]
Happy Numbers is a software company that develops and markets business-administration packages. The software supports several SQL Server code pages and sort orders. Unfortunately, because some developers use a SQL Server configured as case-sensitive and others don't, duplicate object names (using different cases) have turned up. The development team caught these duplications before the software launch, but the problem delayed new releases.
Marla, the IS director, decides to beef up testing. She wants to ensure that the development and support teams have access to SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 installations, each with the various code pages and sort orders. Each developer has a Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscription and can install SQL Server on local workstations for immediate functional testing. Switching between versions and sort orders needs to be as quick and easy as possible. Marla also wants to encourage testing across the network and on a server, which can hold more data than is practical on a workstation. She will install both configurations at several locations. To encourage frequent testing, Marla must let the developers easily synchronize restarts of SQL Server. Marla also wants the configuration to be Microsoft-supported.
Help Marla cut down the number of server machines to the minimum necessary for the testing. Provide step-by-step instructions for setting up the system so that the developers have access to the different SQL Server releases, character sets, and sort orders, both locally and on the server.
Author's Solution
The first step is to install SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 on each local machine. Developers can easily switch between the two through the Switch program group (from the Windows Start menu, choose Microsoft SQL Server, Switch).
Each version of SQL Server needs to accommodate several character sets and sort orders. You could use the s switch to point out an alternative location for the master database and an alternative set of Registry keys, but I don't recommend this method. An easier setup is to establish several \data directories and swap their names when switching between database files and devices. This approach requires a restart of SQL Server and two rename operations, but this process is quick and easily automated.
Suppose you have a current SQL Server (6.5 or 7.0) with a case-insensitive sort order. You need to stop the SQL Server, rename the \data directory \INSENS, and create an empty \data directory. Then create a new set of database files, including a new master database (use SETUP.EXE for 6.5 and REBUILDM.EXE for 7.0) with the character set and sort order (case-sensitive) that you want. You're now ready to switch between the two sets of database files and devices. The following .BAT file switches from case-sensitive to case-insensitive, but you can easily reverse the order.
SwitchtoIns.bat NET STOP MSSQLServer ren Data SENS IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO END ren INSENS Data :END NET START MSSQLServer PAUSE
This setup isn't complex, and Microsoft supports it. Instead of copying the database files, this approach renames directories. You can use the same method for setting up SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0, but you must have remote-control software to switch on the non-local server machine unless the developer walks to the server console to switch it. Considering the advantages this solution offers, this drawback is minor.

Broncos battle Patriots in CBI finale
Fairfax, VA – The 2013 College Basketball Invitational title is on the line, as the Santa Clara Broncos and George Mason Patriots face off in game three of the final round on Friday night at the Patriot Center.
Santa Clara could have taken the best-of-three championship series on Wednesday, but wasn't able to follow up its 81-73 home win in the first game with a victory as it fell in a 73-66 final in Fairfax. The Broncos topped Vermont, Purdue and Wright State in the first three rounds of the tournament, and are looking for their second straight postseason championship after winning the CollegeInsider.com Tournament a year ago.
George Mason kept its season alive with its win on Wednesday, which improved its overall record to 22-15. The Patriots were in danger of failing to get to the 20-win plateau entering the postseason, but wins over the College of Charleston, Houston and Western Michigan in the first three rounds of the CBI got them to 20 wins for the third straight season, and fifth time in the last six years.
These two teams have now met five times previously with Santa Clara holding a slim 3-2 advantage.
The Broncos couldn't find the type of rhythm on offense they had on their home floor against the Patriots two nights ago, as they hit less than 40 percent from the field in both halves, and didn't do themselves any favors by sending the Patriots to the free throw line a whopping 43 times.
One of the primary issues Santa Clara faced on Wednesday was how Kevin Foster (19.1 ppg) came back to Earth. The senior guard had been scorching during the tournament with three straight games of at least 23 points, including two 30- point efforts, but he was held to just 16 points on 6-of-15 field goal efficiency on Wednesday night. Marc Trasolini (15.3 ppg, 7.5 rpg) is a strong contributor in the paint, and he had another solid effort in game two with 13 points and eight rebounds, while lead facilitator Evan Roquemore (11.8 ppg, 5.1 apg) took a step back after a 20-point showing in the first game by tallying only nine points on 2-of-13 shooting, as well as logging more turnovers (4) than he had assists (3).
The Patriots came out firing on all cylinders in front of their home fans after struggling in the opening contest of the series on the road. They hit 46.4 percent from the floor in the first 20 minutes and also nailed 11-of-14 shots from the free-throw line to take a 39-26 lead at the break. They would then connect on 19-of-29 free-throw attempts after halftime to hold on for the win.
While Foster stumbled, it was Sherrod Wright (16.4 ppg) that got back to his normal level of production by netting a game-high 20 points. The junior guard has just three points in Monday's game-one loss and had compiled only 12 points in the two games prior to Wednesday's triumph. Wright has scored at least 20 points in three games during the Tournament. Jonathan Arledge (8.8 ppg, 4.7 rpg) was not needed to carry the offense on Wednesday after filling the role of primary scorer with Wright struggling. Arledge had a combined 44 points in the two tilts prior to game two, but slipped to just four points on Wednesday. Bryon Allen (8.3 ppg) dropped in 15 in the win for the Patriots, who feature nine players that average at least four points per game.
