Back to skiing. This is a link to a video that Crystal Mountain put out on 12/26 showing conditions. The first part is looking down Powder Bowl (my avatar was taken from the bottom) one of my favorite runs anywhere. It is a fair example of our conditions at Crystal and Stevens Pass right now. It is not good by local standards, but we are skiing.

You will make TWO ATC for one partner.
Sign up expecting a quick send. You can start creating your ATCs now if you like.
For these ATC you will find an image you like, adhere that bad boy to an ATC sized backing and THATS IT! No layers, no cut and paste from other sources, no 3d embellishments NOTHING BUT THE IMAGE SPANNING THE WHOLE CARD. We are essentially cropping images we find and turning them into an ATC. This should be a fairly simple and straightforward swap. No printouts. Think books, magazines, those kind of things for source material. Please make sure that this ATC is neat - trim your edges please! I accomplish neat edges by leaving the source image larger than the background I'm using, pasting it down and THEN cutting the image down to size. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sender's choice as far as the content goes. Please send in a protective sleeve, label the ATCs This includes your user name and the swaps name.. Tell us where the image originated! For example, the book or magazine's title. If I have the information, I also enjoy artist and title, but this is not required because it is not always available.
USA only. Established swappers only please, in good standing, 20 or more RATED type three swaps.

This is Dale Brown's seventh appearance on the IA 25. Read his extended profiles from 2012 and 2011. Click here to view the complete list and Special Report schedule for extended profiles for each of the 2013 IA 25 honorees.
When reminded that this is the seventh year that he's been named to the IA 25, Dale Brown was quick to give kudos to his entire team, noting that the Financial Services Institute's success doesn't hinge on his abilities alone. FSI's staff, Brown said, "sets priorities and makes sure those priorities are relevant to our members."
Indeed, since moving FSI's headquarters from Atlanta to Washington three years ago, FSI's membership has more than doubled—jumping from 15,000 advisor members to 35,000 today. The trade group's budget during that time has shot up as well, going from $3.5 million to more than $7 million. FSI's broker-dealer members now total 107.
Brown said one of FSI's top goals this year is bringing more advisor members on board and "getting them personally involved in our advocacy mission."
As to FSI's other priorities, Brown said the trade group has three: opposing the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule reproposal, which is due out in July; the "continued fight" regarding advisors' independent contractor status, with proposals at both the federal and state level that will make it more difficult for companies to classify workers as independent contractors going forward; and leveraging FSI's existing resources to make the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority "a more effective regulator."
Said Brown: FSI is "working on the right issues; it's challenging, but we're getting results."
As to DOL's efforts to redefine the term fiduciary under ERISA, Brown has said DOL's proposal "would suddenly hold broker-dealers who work with company-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs to a different standard of oversight, one that would not be aligned with Main Street American investors' needs." This move, he said, "would eliminate commissions as a source of broker-dealer compensation for such accounts, potentially pricing out the majority of American IRA holders from affordable financial advice."
Under the DOL proposal, "many independent financial advisors might be forced to exit the IRA and company-sponsored retirement plan businesses, rather than face the onerous costs of restructuring their service offerings to suit the new rule."
Since launching FSI nine years ago, Brown said the group has maintained a constructive dialogue with FINRA so that it can "lighten the [regulatory] burden on our members," as they say their chief concern is the "day-to-day cost, burden and complexity of dealing with FINRA."
Just as the SEC's exam process needs improving, so, too, does FINRA's, Brown said. Since Richard Ketchum, FINRA's CEO, "has been on board, we have developed a good relationship" with FINRA. Noting that FINRA, for now, recognizes there's no "political support" for creating a self-regulatory organization to help examine advisors, Brown also doesn't see "any significant support" for Rep. Maxine Waters' bill—which she reintroduced in April–that would allow the SEC to assess user fees for advisor exams.
But while FINRA will forgo, for now, pushing to become the SRO for advisors, "I don't think they've dropped it as an ultimate goal," Brown said.

I had been trying to make digital books. However, I wanted to split it into pages and had been wondering if there was a way to store entire chapters and use tags, like html, sort of, to tell it what to put into the text area for each page. I tried something like this and it's kind of working, though it's losing the first word in between each of the tags. I don't care if the tags themselves aren't read in. But how do I get the first words in? This may also lead to Scanner redundancy reading, but would reduce space wise the amount I'd have to use.

Embroidered Ground
Revisiting the Garden
Page Dickey
Farrar, Straus and Giroux: 250 pp., $25
Bookish gardeners know well (even in sunny Southern California) the delights of the winter doldrums. In rain and snow they diligently read their way through Gertrude Jekyll, Vita Sackville-West, Eleanor Perenyi and that greatest of all literary gardeners, Katharine White (wife of E.B.). Page Dickey, legendary writer and gardener in the same outspoken, practical tradition, has written several books set in Duck Hill, her upstate New York garden of nearly three decades. Children, dogs, grandchildren have come and gone, and still Dickey digs and writes and compares notes. In "Embroidered Ground," she offers tips: Begin with doorways, don't forget paths, insist on hedges. And wisdom: how to share your garden with a new partner who might have a different style, the beauty of the unmown, the long view (planting for decades).
"Gardens 'have a way of slowing time down — allowing its flow to gather in placid ponds, as it were — but that is part of their power of enchantment,'" Dickey quotes Robert Pogue Harrison, another name in gardening lore. It's a book to read, dreaming of spring.
Little Princes
One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal
Conor Grennan
William Morrow: 282 pp., $25.99
From 1996 to 2006, Nepal experienced a civil war that barely reached the margins of our media machine. In 2006, Irish American Conor Grennan, then 29, looked up from his desk at a think tank in Prague and decided he wanted to serve, to help, somewhere. Looking through brochures for volunteer opportunities, he settled on an orphanage in Nepal.
In his boyish, honest, surfer-dude style, he's sure the ladies will love it. But the swagger stops in the first few pages, and the book becomes the story of how volunteering changes the life of the giver as much or more than the life of the receiver. Grennan falls completely in love with 18 children who had been kidnapped from villages terrorized by Maoist rebels. He tells the story of how they were sold by traffickers for labor and worse and how they ended up at the Little Princes orphanage on the southern border of the Kathmandu Valley. He tells us about the many times he tried to leave and just couldn't, how he ended up fighting bureaucrats and criminals and started a nonprofit (Next Generation Nepal) to reconnect some of the children with their families.
In the tradition of "Three Cups of Tea" and "Mountains Beyond Mountains," this book provides proof (there cannot be too much) of the value of volunteer work.
Enough About Love
A Novel
Hervé Le Tellier, translated from the French by Adriana Hunter
Other Press: 240 pp., $14.95 paper
Hervé Le Tellier is a well-known commentator on French culture — food, literature, mathematics and many other subjects — in newspapers, magazines, on the radio, in essays and novels. "Enough About Love" follows three couples, joined together by a psychiatrist, Thomas Le Gall. One great joy of the novel is the sense of walking around Paris as if it were your own city — the Jardins du Luxembourg, Ile de la Cité, various arrondissements.
Le Tellier weaves a neighborhood of lovers who shift and change partners like chemicals moving through test tubes, changing bonds over the years. Once he has established the players, he distinguishes between their public and private selves; what they are thinking appears beside the words they are saying. It is a complicated novel, artfully told and translated and eerily familiar, the way love stories so often are.

The Central Connecticut softball team split a doubleheader vs. Cornell on Saturday, winning game one 1-0 but falling in game two 5-0. With the split the Blue Devils are now 10-9 overall on the season.
In game one, senior Arielle Bruno smacked an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth to plate the Blue Devils' only run of the game. Central had six hits in the win, including two from Bruno and two from senior Tessa Brown.
With the game scoreless in the sixth, sophomore Hannah Cooper singled to left field and was pinch run for by classmate Brittany Ernst. Ernst went to second on a sacrifice and scored on a single up the middle by Bruno.
Junior Laura Messina pitched all seven innings for Central, improving her record to 9-5 on the season. Messina tallied four strikeouts and walked one while allowing just four hits in the contest.
Cornell rebounded for a 5-0 win in game two, limiting the Blue Devils to just three hits while doing all of their damage in a five-run fifth inning. Messina pitched game two for the Blue Devils and is now 9-6 overall on the season. She allowed four earned runs on six hits while striking out one.
The Blue Devils are off until next Saturday when they open the home and conference portion of their schedule with a doubleheader vs. Sacred Heart on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m.

Changes made in the configuration and mapping of artistic practices imply a revision of the categories that guide this type of work. This leads to the revision and questioning of these categories through which these activities have been thought and theorized. The following questioning aims to evaluate and revaluate the viability of its postulates, so as to give account of certain artistic productions within a highly differentiated framework. This paper addresses this becoming to analyze the conditions of possibility of the concepts of autonomy and shape in the light of contemporary art and especially of the so-called relational art practices.

May 31, 2006 (CIDRAP News) – Experts who investigated two clusters of human cases of H5N1 avian influenza in Azerbaijan in March concluded that one cluster marked the first time humans probably contracted the disease from wild birds—in this case, dead swans.
"Close contact with and de-feathering of infected wild swans were the most plausible exposures to influenza A/H5N1 virus in the Daikyand cluster," which included seven confirmed cases and four deaths, says the investigators' report, published this week in the monthly issue of Eurosurveillance.
"The . . . cluster in Daikyand settlement is the first event where wild birds were the most likely source of influenza A/H5N1 infection in humans," states the report by a team of 20 authors from several countries and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO reported in March that wild swans were suspected as the source of infection in the cases. The Eurosurveillance article is the first detailed published presentation of the evidence for that view.
Two clusters of H5N1 cases were investigated in Azerbaijan in March. Azeri authorities reported a cluster of nine possible cases in Daikyand, a town in southeastern Azerbaijan, Mar 6. Three days later, two more suspected cases were reported in Bayim-Sarov, Tarter district, in the east-central part of the country. The human cases had been preceded by outbreaks in wild and domestic birds in February.
A WHO-led international team of 11 experts investigated the cases with the help of a field laboratory from the US Naval Medical Research Unit 3 from Cairo, Egypt. Influenza A/H5 was confirmed in seven of the patients from Daikyand, including six from the same family and another from a neighboring family. Four cases were fatal, and five patients were females between the ages of 15 and 20.
Family members initially denied any contact with sick or dead wild birds or domestic poultry, but others reported that many wild swans had died in the area in February and that the family might have had contact with dead swans, the report says. Relatives of the patents eventually revealed that the affected family had been involved in de-feathering dead swans. Swan feathers are used in pillows and bring a good price in the area, the article says.
In the Tarter district, 1 of the 2 suspected cases was confirmed and the other was classified as probable, according to the report. The investigators said the two patients, a 24-year-old man and his 18-year-old sister, had bought and eaten a turkey that was thought to have been ill.
While affirming that the Daikyand victims probably caught the virus by handling wild swans, the report says that limited human-to-human transmission can't be ruled out, given the incomplete information available.
In other observations, the report says the Azeri cases point up the importance of oxygen therapy in H5N1 infections.
"Severe hypoxia, caused by the prolonged course of viral pneumonia, appeared to be underrecognised and treated late in children," the report sates. "The early establishment of oxygen saturation monitoring and provision of continuous oxygen therapy is therefore crucial to prevent decompensation and multi-organ failure already observed" in H5N1 cases elsewhere.

Vidic has confirmed his intention to seek a fresh challenge when his contract expires in the summer.
With Rio Ferdinand virtually certain to be leaving Old Trafford as well, it means Moyes must plan for life without the two men who have been the cornerstone of the Red Devils' defence for almost a decade.
Numerous big names are bound to be linked with a summer transfer.
However, in Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling, Moyes already has players with a combined total of 384 United appearances to call upon, in addition to 49 international caps and six league titles.
And while some may question whether the trio have what it takes to fill such vast shoes, Moyes will give them the chance.
"People who know football will tell you centre-half is probably the toughest position," said Moyes.
"I even think it is harder to play centre-half than goalkeeper now.
"The movement and quality of the centre forwards means it is very difficult to play a young centre-half.
"We are trying to nurture one along and bring them into the team.
"Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Jonny Evans are already here
We will give them an opportunity to show what they are capable of."
In addition to a new anchor at the heart of his defence, Vidic's statement means Moyes is also on the lookout for a new captain.
Although there are alternatives in the form of Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick, the obvious choice - if he signs the contract extension United are discussing with him - would be Wayne Rooney.
Moyes is certain to give the matter some considerable thought given the importance of a role that has been held with some distinction by the likes of Bryan Robson, Sir Bobby Charlton, Roy Keane and - from the Busby Babes era - Roger Byrne.
"Captain of this club is a really big job," said Moyes.
"It holds a massive responsibility
You have to be respected by your players and realise what the club stands for.
"Even without Vida we have always had that with Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Darren Fletcher and Wayne Rooney."
Although it has cruelly been suggested Vidic is deserting a sinking ship, Moyes revealed it was a mutual decision to sever ties after over eight years' service.
Though Vidic has not been the same player since rupturing cruciate ligaments in the Champions League defeat to Basle in December 2011, he has continued to lead United from the front, skippering the club to their last two Premier League titles.
"When I arrived at the club and saw Vida up close I thought 'wow'," said the United boss.
"He is a fantastic defender and a great warrior.
"They use the word quite loosely nowadays but if you think in terms of what that means, people like John Terry and Nemanja would come into that category.
"For years he has been a top central defender
He still is
He still plays a big part here but we felt it was the right thing to be open with it.
"His contract was coming to an end
We felt it was the right thing for him and we decided it was the right time to do it for the club.
"He will remain captain and continue to do it to the end of the season
Hopefully he will finish this part of his career here at Manchester United."
With Evans not recovered from the calf injury he sustained in last Saturday's defeat at Stoke, Vidic will return from a three-match suspension in Sunday's Premier League encounter with an ailing Fulham outfit who are managed by Sir Alex Ferguson's former United assistant Rene Meulensteen.
Marouane Fellaini will not be available though.
The Belgian has recovered from wrist surgery but suffered a minor groin strain in training earlier this week that will rule him out of both Sunday's game and the midweek trip to Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Press Association Sport understands United will embark on some warm-weather training immediately after the Emirates Stadium trip.
With a blank weekend following their early exit from the FA Cup, Moyes has opted to get away from England as part of United's preparation for the Champions League encounter with Olympiacos in Athens on February 25.

Planters are one step closer to operating themselves this year. New smart features and attachments for 2013 can automatically clear the row, test ground hardness, adjust down-force, vary the type and rate of seed, and track bin levels. And a grower can control all of these operations without leaving the tractor cab.
Tom Evans, vice president of sales at Great Plains, says many of the technologies that were just concepts a few years ago are now available for consumers to buy. "The 'bells and whistles' that used to be a luxury are now almost standard equipment," Evans says. "Automatic point-row control, automatic row-unit down-pressure control, variable-rate prescription seed rates, and variable-rate fertilizer are making planters very high-tech."
He says higher commodity prices are driving sales of this technology. "With corn hitting $6/bu., farmers are looking to maximize everything they can get out of an acre," Evans adds.
Other manufacturers echo this sentiment. "Recently we've noticed a change in conversations among customers," says Gary Hamilton, AGCO. "We've always talked about the iron and all the things that it can do. Now technology is top-of-mind. That includes not only the ability to monitor seed but also the way we place it. Farmers like auto row shutoff so they don't waste any seed on end rows. They like autoguide so the planter is precisely in line with the previous pass across the field. So the technology side, placing seed and monitoring in its place, has really become the topic as we move forward."
Like Great Plains' Evans, Hamilton says strong commodity prices are driving this attention. "As corn and soybean prices come up, [farmers] now have the means to invest in new technology as a way to balance out the higher price of inputs we are experiencing. The technology is now available for farmers to help them manage their operation as best they can."
Here's just a sampling of new planter technologies that will be available this spring, all designed to automate the task of planting corn and soybeans.

Homemade Cheez-Its
After seeing these on Dara's blog, Gen Y Foodie, I was smitten. We needed to make them. But instead of being all responsible and healthy with the olive oil and flax seeds, I went with good old butter. We love butter. We love Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" for that reason. So back to the cheez-its – It is exciting for some reason to make a homemade version of packaged food item. Especially in this case, the buttery, cheesy crackers emerging fresh from the oven makes for such a lovely snack. Now Seth likes to destroy this delicate harmony of the home-baked cheddar cracker by actually dipping them in this ridiculous store bought cheese dip. If you notice, it isn't even packaged in a jar. It is a tin can that you open like a can of cat food. Super classy. He swears by it. He claims that because the cheez-its taste so strongly like cheese, it helps to dip them into something that doesn't taste anything like cheese… like pre-packaged cheese dip… While this is the dip he grew up with, and sometimes you just can't fight nostalgia, I think we'd both agree that these crackers taste great with almost any dip.
1 cup whole wheat flour
8 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling on top
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon powdered mustard
¼ teaspoon onion powder
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into tiny pieces
6 – 8 tablespoons ice water
In a small bowl, mix together ½ teaspoon kosher salt, pepper, paprika, powdered mustard, and onion powder. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cheddar, and the seasoning mix. Add the pieces of butter and using your fingers work the butter with the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumble. Add 6 tablespoons ice water, adding more if needed for the dough to come together. You might want to use your hands to work the dough into a large ball. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Heat oven to 350. I like to roll the dough out on a Silpat or parchment paper cut to fit a baking sheet to get the right size thickness (about 1/8 inch), and then transfer the Silpat or parchment to a baking sheet. If you aren't using these, the dough should be rolled out to roughly fit a baking sheet. Use a pizza cutter or fluted pastry wheel (gives that nice deckled edge) to cut the dough into squares. It helps to use a ruler to evenly space out the cuts. Use a chopstick to make the classic hole in the center that store-bought cheez-its have. Sprinkle more kosher salt on top then bake for about 20 minutes. You want the crackers to be crisp, but not burnt; you may wish to remove the outer couple rows, then put the pan back in and finish the inner rows. Once they are done, use the same pizza cutter or fluted pastry wheel (lined up with your previous cuts) to separate the crackers fully.

I have typed all this and it is 5 of the 133 pages in the book. The topic of furnace versus coch y bonddu has been discussed here before, and I suppose this can be useful information.
I have been wanting this book for quite a while but it has always been expensive. This copy cost me £1.98 + shipping. That is dirt cheap.
Frank Elder died before the book was printed. His son has a site you can visit. http://www.frankelderhackles.com/Frank- ... 209%29.htm
"The Book of the Hackle", Frank Elder 1977;
Colour p51 ff
8. Furnace: At the present time it is generally agreed that a furnace hackle is one with a black list and the outer colour red. As with a badger, a good example is rare. A hackle which has the black extending only a short way up the shaft or even showing only at the base is very common, i.e. the 'Black-Butted Reds' of the Flyfishers' Collection. The wild Red Jungle Cock, the Indian sub-species in particular, has a well defined black list in the large neck hackles, but it disappears by the time the head is reached. Reasonably good quality and shape can often be obtained in this colour although it is difficult to produce one of the quality of a fine red. Unlike the badgers, where a poorly coloured list is often a fault, in the furnace, the list is almost always a good dark black. The outer colour, in the game breeds, is the bright shade of the true Red Game, but it can be obtained in the whole red range from dark ginger to very dark red.
At the present day it is generally understood amongst flydressers that a furnace hackle is one with a black list and red outside, while a coch y bonddu has a black list, red outside and the tips of the barbs are black; i.e. furnace: black/red, coch y bonddu: black/red/black. It was John Henderson (5), however, who pointed out that this difference has not always been accepted and when the back history is studied, a rather fascinating story unfolds. I am again indebted to Jack Heddon for his notes on this subject.
In 1836 Ronalds (6) specifies a furnace hackle for three of his flies. For his Downhill Fly (No 21) (called oak fly in later editions) he states, 'Legs. A furnace hackle (i.e. a red cock's hackle with a black list up the middle, and tinged with black also at the extremities of the fibres)'. In the illustrations of all three flies, the hackle is shown as having black tips. His furnace therefore is black/red/black, but unfortunately he does not tell us what he calls a hackle without black tips. His Marlow Buzz (No.30) is given the alternative names of 'Hazel Fly, Coch a bonddu, Shorn Fly' and the hackle is given as 'a dark furnace cock's hackle'. The illustration of the beetle of which the Marlow Buzz is a representation is a typical black and red.
Hofland (7) in 1839 appears to be the first author to give the name of 'coch-a-bonddu' to the hackle to be used for the Coch y bonddu fly and gives the colour as 'red and black'. Francis Francis (8) gives a 'dark red hackle with a black streak up the centre' for his Coch Coch y bonddu fly. Many other writers could be quoted.
Up to this point therefore the point accepted by all dressers was that the hackle to be used to represent the Coch y bonddu Beetle should be dark red with a black list. Some specified that the tips should be black; others did not.
In 1885, however, G. M. Kelson (4), who wrote extensively on salmon flies for the Fishing Gazette, decided that the names for these hackles should be standardised and he wrote a letter to the editor of that magazine stating that furnace was black/red and and a coch y bonddu black/red/black. He went even further, producing the names white furnace and white coch y bonddu to name the hackles that we now lump under the name of badger and even blue furnace and blue coch y bonddu. The interesting thing is that in the considerable correspondence that followed his letter, not a single person agreed with him. Fly-dressers who had been brought up in North Wales where the coch y bonddu was popular were adamant that both names could be and were used for the same hackle. One writer suggested that furnace was the English name and coch y bonddu the Welsh. Halford summed up the discussion by writing, 'I am diffident of expressing an opinion opposite to that of so experienced a fly-dresser as Mr Kelson, but think the majority of your readers will agree with me that the terms coch-y-bonddhu and furnace as applied to hackle are synonymous'.
When challenged Kelson admitted that he had made up the names white and blue furnace and coch y bonddu and gave as his only authority for the difference between furnace and coch y bonddu that he had smples put up by his father in 1836 which were labelled this way. He does not examine the possibility that his father like others in Wales at that time used both names for black/red hackle with or without black tips.
The interesting point is that although no one agreed with Kelson, his names gradually came to be accepted. In 1892, when Hale (9) published his book on salmon flies, he followed Kelson's nomenclature and gave diagrams of these hackles. In 1895 Kelson's own book was published and named illustrations of the hackles were again given.
Up to 1885 either name was used for black/red or black/red/black hackle, but from then a gradual change took place until eventually Kelson's names were used as it is today.
All this would only be of academic interest were it not for the fact that a fly-dresser when tying a fly introduced a long time ago must appreciate that this change did take place and that the black and red cock's hackle spcified may not be the one that goes by that name today. The outstanding example is the famous 'Greenwell's Glory'. Courtney Williams (10) states that he had seen a letter in Canon Greenwell's own handwriting giving the tie and he gives this dressing in his book. The canon specified a coch y bonddhu hackle. It is probable that a hen hackle was used for the original and that it was fished as a wet-fly. I have never seen what we now call a coch y bonddu - black/red/black - in a hen hackle and Skues stated that they did not exist. Therefore the original fly would almost certainly be black/red and a fly in possession of the Flyfisher's Club, said to be original, bears this out. Therefore although Canon Greenwell called it coch y bonddu, the hackle used was what we call furnace.
The furnace and coch y bonddu seem to be doomed to muddle for there is even disagreement as to how their names should be spelt. Atkinson (11) calls the game cock of this colour 'furnace' and says it was so called because it resembled the flames rising from the black coals in a furnace. In the correspondence in the Fishing Gazette in 1885 it is suggested that the correct spelling is furness named after the Old English Game popular in the Hundreds of Furness in Lancashire. In his book Harrison Weir (12) also supports this spelling. Both the birds and the hackles are frequently spelt furness today and although I must admit that Harrison Weir's explanation sounds to me a little more likely than Atkinson's, I have used furnace since this is the spelling that seems to have been used by all the writers in the early part of the nineteenth century.
Taverner (13) says that Ronalds spelt it furniss. This, however, is not correct. In his first edition Ronald spells it furnace, but in one of the later editions it appears as furniss due, no doubt, to an error in type-setting.
The name coch y bonddu has been written in many different ways. Every book seems to have a different spelling. I have no knowledge of the Welsh language, but Horsfall Turner (14) in an excellent article gives a very full discussion of the subject and I follow his spelling, which I am sure is correct.
We are now very used to calling a hackle with black list and red outside furnace, so I consider that we should accept it as the name for this marking and colour.
Accepting furnace for the normal bi-colour, what should we do with a furnace with black tips to the barbs? Does it deserve a special category? Should we retain the name coch y bonddu? Personally I can see no reason for doing so. A furnace of pale or medium red with black tips to the barbs is rare, very rare. A very dark red furnace frequently has black tips, in fact if it is a really dark furnace such as you would choose to tie a coch y bonddu fly, it will almost certainly have black tips. The badger frequently has black tips and yet no one but Kelson has thought it neccessary to give this hackle a special name. Is it essential for any fly that the hackle should have black tips? Is not the shade of colour the important thing? I suggest, therefore, that we should discard the bulky name of coch y bonddu since it serves no really useful purpose and we should refer to this hackle as a 'dark furnace'. If the dresser considers that black tips are desirable, he can say so:' dark furnace with black tips'.
Recently I have come across another version of the meaning of the word coch y bonddu. In the commercial hackle market, this can be taken to describe a cape where the tip of each hackle is black, not the tip of each barb. Since the colour of the tip of a hackle can be of no importance, since it is always tied in or cut off, this description is pointless. I suspect that it arose owing to commercial pressure to supply the demand for coch y bonddu capes. Capes where the hackles have barbs with dark tips are not common but furnace capes where the point of the hackle itself is black are not uncommon particularly in imported capes. Surely this is another reason why we should dispense with this name which has always caused confusion.
Now we come to another name which seems to have come into use in the last thirty years: 'Greenwell'. The 'Greenwell's Glory' tied by the famousTweed fly-dresser James Wright for Canon Greenwell was, we believe, a wet-fly, but it has become so famous that the fly tied with a stiff cock hackle and fished dry is called by the same name. As I have indicated, although the original tie was written as a coch y bonddu hackle, what was certainly used was what we now call furnace. If, as we presume, the hackle was a hen hackle, then not only must it have been without black tips, but was almost certainly a pale furnace, for while a furnace with a bright red outer is common in a cock hackle, it is very rare in a hen. The normal hen furnace hackle is brown with a black list. It is therefore almost certain that the original fly as tied by James Wright had a brown hackle with a black list, but I cannot see that there is any real reason for producing a special name for a hackle of this colour, when a 'pale furnace' is equally adequate.
Commander Walker follows Kelson and lists blue furnace and blue coch y bonddu, which is surely a mistake. By blue furnace Kelson meant a hackle with a blue not a black list. This is a complete muddle. His furnace is red with a black list and his white furnace is a white with black list, but his blue furnace changes the colour of the list not the outer colour. If a hackle with a blue list is called a blue furnace, where do the blue dun bi-colours come in? Honey dun must disappear. He says that in his blue furnace, a name he admitted he made up, he gives the outer colour as 'sometimes grizzly, grey, a honey or a golden', in other words a honey dun. So let us finish with blue furnace. I wonder whether a honey dun hackle with blue points and which could therefore be called blue coch y bonddu has ever been seen.
Kelson also describes a 'kneecap' and Walker has followed him. This is said to be a very rare hackle with red list and edges and black between. He says that it comes from a cross between a Polish and a Malay fowl. I have never seen one and I know of no tie which specifies this hackle. If it is required, it can easily be dscribed under off-colours, so I see no purpose in retaining this name.

This has been Kingston point guard Justin Robinson's dream since he was a kid, since basketball became his passion.
This has been Kingston point guard Justin Robinson's dream since he was a kid, since basketball became his passion.
This is the moment he rehearsed over and over in his mind, daydreaming about it on and off the court, until this weekend when it arrived.
Robinson, the Varsity845 Player of the Year, has verbally committed to play at Division I Monmouth (N.J.). He said on Monday he will receive a full athletic scholarship. Robinson, who led Kingston to its first Section 9 Class AA title in nine years this season, made his decision over the weekend.
"This has been a goal of mine, a milestone my entire life," Robinson said. "It feels great, this is my dream. I don't know if it will hit me until I get my diploma and go off to college. But it's big and I'm excited."
Robinson, who averaged 17.1 points, 6.4 assists, 3.9 steals and 3.8 rebounds this season, also received interest from Division I Siena, Wagner, Quinnipiac and Binghamton. He made a visit to Monmouth, which competes in the Northeast Conference, in mid-March. A few days later, Monmouth offered the scholarship to Robinson, who mulled the decision for a couple of weeks.
Monmouth is coached by former University of North Carolina point guard King Rice, who played for Dean Smith, graduating in 1992. The Hawks finished 10-21, 5-13 NEC last season.
"I just wanted to make sure everything was a fit on and off the court, and it is," Robinson said. "I love the coaching staff, I love the campus. It's beautiful. I know I'm going to have to get better every day. The players are going to be bigger, stronger and faster. I'm going to be a freshman all over again, but I'm going to come in ready to go."
Robinson was a four-year starter for Kingston and a Varsity845 first-team all-star as a junior. His game was all about energy, his dribbling skills and quick passes were highlight reel-quality. He never backed down from anyone, playing and leading his team passionately.
With Robinson leading the break, Kingston dominated Section 9 opponents this winter, losing to eventual state runner-up New Rochelle 63-60 in the state Class AA quarterfinals at West Point.
"I just think Justin is such a coachable kid," said S.S. Seward coach Rob Gravelle, who coached Robinson the last two summers in the Basketball Coaches Association of New York Festival. "He makes everyone around him better and, no matter what the situation, he stays positive. Justin loves the game and I'm glad he got some love with a Division I scholarship. He's terrific, top-notch."
Robinson is the first Kingston player to receive a Division I scholarship since Tay Fisher, Section 9's all-time leading scorer (2,119 points), signed with Siena in 2004. A year earlier, Kingston's Keith Simmons accepted a scholarship to Division I Holy Cross.
"I think Justin is going to be successful," Kingston coach Ron Kelder said. "On the mid-major level, he's going to be a real electric kid. Justin is going to make everyone around him better and he's going to have some players around him who can really finish. He really will excel."

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is the twelfth busiest airport in the US. The new North Terminal replaces the Smith and Berry terminals and sits on the site of the former Davey Terminal, which was demolished in 2005. Completely designed and built after 9/11 in response to new airport security regulations under Homeland Security, Detroit's airport represents the most modern and efficient designs in security and passenger screening for air travel. With 26 gates and 824,000-square-foot of space, DTW is designed to minimize stress associated with security screening and travel. This means more daylighting, warmer finishes, lots of electric outlets for personal electronic devices and a greater focus on views.
When the old terminal and nearby hotel were demolished to make way for the new airport, much of the waste was recycled and reused. The concrete from the old buildings was crushed into gravel for use on roads and ramps, and iron and steel were recycled. All the plumbing fixtures from the old hotel were salvaged and donated to Habitat for Humanity's resale shop. Daylighting streams in through the 660-foot-long horizontal glass curtain wall, pumping natural light into the ticketing, baggage claim and security areas.
DTW was also awarded a Voluntary Airport Low Emissions (VALE) grant, totaling nearly $5.1 million by the FAA to reduce operational emissions. This grant supported construction of a system to deliver fuel, temperature-controlled air, and auxiliary electrical power directly to aircraft parked at each boarding gate. This reduces the emissions and fuel from mobile fuel trucks, auxiliary power units and diesel-powered portable ground power units. In total, the VALE grant will save the airport 418 tons of carbon monoxide, 409 tons of ozone precursors, 366 tons of nitrogen oxides, 66 tons of sulfur dioxide, 42 tons of volatile organic compounds, and 6.4 tons of particulate matter over the equipment's 40-year lifespan.

Analog TV
Analog TV is the predecessor of DVB. In some countries like Germany analog TV is not available anymore and is exchanged by DVB-t. But may be someone want to use this for some reason, for instance for connection with old-style camcorders or so on.
TV standards
There are three TV standards for analog TV.
PAL (Phase Alternation Line) Standard for transmission of analog tv, developed by W. Bruch. This standard is widely used in west-europe for analog TV. Resolution: 625 Lines, 50 half frames per second, 4:3. The extension of PAL is PAL plus
SECAM ('Sequential Couleur A Mémoire') is a standard like PAL, but not widely used. Resolution: 625 Lines, 25 frames per second.
NTSC ('National Television System Comitee) is widely used in America, Canada and Japan. Resolution: 525 Lines, 60 half frames per second. Less quality then PAL, therefore sometimes called Never The Same Color. ;-)
For analog TV you can use
- Brooktree BT848/878 based analog TV cards using the bttv driver, good support but no hardware MPEG Encoder
- Hauppauge PVR 250/350 and similar cards based on the cx23415/cx23416 chip using the ivtv driver, please have a look at Chris Kennedys site. These cards are really good and have an onboard MPEG encoder (both cards) and an MPEG decoder with TV-out (PVR 350 only). Both of them are supported by ivtv. May these forum might be interesting for you too: link
- Hauppauge PVR cards, the predecessor of that cards mentioned before with an old-style unsupported hardware encoder. Barely supported under linux with the pvr driver, do not even try it.
- Hauppauge WinTV USB and similar cards with the pvrusb driver
- Hauppauge WinTV USB2 and similar cards with these drivers: link link
- conexant 2388x chip (rather new) based cards driver link
- zoran based cards like Pinnacle DC10 link

Warning: This story contains swearing.
MONTREAL - How does a bilingual city express its frustrations? Diane Vincent, a professor of linguistics at L'Université Laval, offers some insight into the way Quebecers swear, in French, English and in français de France.
Gazette: What's the main reason for using a swear word from another culture? Is it for social reasons, to get closer to the individual, the group?
Vincent: It's actually complex. For each culture the vocabulary that is taboo is very specific. When we use the curses of another culture we don't feel the taboo. As a Québécoise, if I say fuck that has no value as (being) a taboo.
It's not a taboo for me, it's not significant for me. But if I say crisse or colisse, it can be negatively received by people around me. But fuck won't bother me.
Inversely, for an anglophone to say crisse, it won't bother him. But saying fuck for him, he knows quite well the intrinsic (negative) value of saying that swear word.
So when we use strong words, swear words of another language, it's because we know that that will have an effect on others. But it won't have any effect on us, because it's not a taboo for us.
If I say putain de con, as a Quebecer, it doesn't bother me. But for a French man (France), it leaves a bitter taste. It's not appropriate. There is a censorship around this. We have an awareness of a certain censorship in our own group (culture), but not of another culture.
So using swear words of another language is in a way to deflate the harshness of the words I would use in my own language. So instead of using crisse - that's quite naughty - I'll use fuck, because I find it less unpleasant. Also since it's widely used, I'll use the most familiar. In some cases I might use putain, which in France would be a strong word, but in Quebec would be a softer jurons (swear word).
Gazette: Anglos don't swear only in French but sometimes in German, in Hebrew and even in Japanese. Will French Quebecers, at some point, start swearing in a language other than English?
Vincent: Maybe, but that would be a personal thing where you're regurlarly in contact with friends or acquaintances who speak a foreign language. The main idea being that the swear word is not as strong a negative for you personally. A Quebecer saying fuck is not as strong a statement as a native English speaker saying it. In the written English media, the f-word rarely appears in print. In a way there is no censorship involved while using words of another culture. We learn censorship early on in our youth, not to say such words.
Gazette: Anglophones seem to like Québécois swear words and the vast diversity of them. For them, what is the attraction in Québécois swear words?
Vincent: First, they hear them a lot. They also don't feel like they're crossing the line by using them. By using our swear words, it permits them not to use theirs. So it's a way to transmit a strong emotion without having to transgress the censorship of their upbringing.
Gazette: Does using the words of another culture, another language bring about a rapprochement between the solitudes?
Vincent: Yes, and in communities like in New Brunswick and Ontario, French speakers will pepper their language with "you know'' and "you see''. So it's not only swear words but common words in the language that brings us together.
Gazette: Does the métissage (mixing) of our languages mean that the two solitudes, especially in Montreal, are closer than we think?
Vincent: In the past, where in the business world bosses were English, the French workers had no choice but to use many English words. So their use of English was representative of the hierarchy of our society at the time, and a certain social inequality. But today in a more egalitarian society, the mixing will happen on many different levels and in many spheres of our daily lives. Depending on the use of words, it can represent the hierarchy in our society, as well as a greater fusion of the different groups. It's not only the words that we have to analyze but our society as a whole.
The following list is an exercise in listing the main swear words for francophones
The major leagues (the words our mothers told us not to say, under threat of eternal damnation)
baptême (baptism)
câlice (chalice)
calvaire (calvary)
ciarge - slang for cierge (votive candle)
ciboire (the receptacle in which the host is stored)
crisse - slang for Christ (Christ)
maudit (damn)
ostie - slang for hostie (host)
sacrament - slang for sacrement (Sacrament)
simonaque (from the followers of Simon the Sorcerer and the sin of simony, the buying and selling of ecclesiastical privileges)
tabarnac - slang for tabernacle (tabernacle)
viarge - slang of vierge (the Virgin Mary)
The minor leagues
câlice: caline, calique, caline de bine, décalisser
calvaire: calvasse, calvinsse, calvinouche, calvinus
ciboire: cibolle, cibollaque
crisse: cristie, cliss, christophe, Christophe Colomb, decrisser
maudit: mautadit, mautadite, maudite marde
ostie: esti, estifie, ostique, ostine, sti
tabarnac: tabarnouche, tabarslaque, simonac, tabarouette, tabarnache, tabarnane, tabouère, détabarnaker
Mixing and matching
Ostie de tabarnac
Crisse de tabarnac
Examples of swearing borrowed from English
Ça c'est fucké.
C'est fucking plate.
C'est fucking bon.
Fuck you (An anthem for all, young and old, in English or in French).

The Official Release of Lucid 5.25 (Lucid Five Twenty-Five)
Subject description: The Most Leading-Edge Lucid Ever
This is the Official Release of Lucid Puppy 5.2.5.
Lucid Five Twenty-Five
A Five Digit Update from Lucid 5.2
The Ultimate Expression of the Lucid Vision
IMHO, Lucid 5.2.5 is probably not the best choice for AMD K6, because some programs in Lucid 5.2.5 are not compatible with K6. Lucid 5.1.1 would be a better choice--not that 4.3.1 is not perfectly good also.
Instant Update 001 for Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 (known as the Bigpup Update) ->
The update
--> fixes Bootflash which did not work in the release of Lucid 5.2.5
--> fixes xgamma-gui which did not work in the release of Lucid 5.2.5
--> updates Psync to be aware of both UTC and local system time
--> updates Firewallstate to leave program icon off on reboot when turned off
--> adds report-video-glx which might be a useful standard for diagnosing video issues
--> adds ffconvert to convert between video formats
--> updates the Lupu PPM in Puppy Package Manager
--> links Help to LupuNews Help
The pet is 132KB.
Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 ->
b6658ab75cd5d48f358f0ee31b06b934 lupu-525.iso
Devx for Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 ->
a72c8744b220c5bf02d5161445927382 lupu_devx_525.sfs
Lucid Puppy 5.25 is the most leading-edge Lucid ever. It has Bash 4.1.0, Syslinux 4.03, and e2fsprogs 1.41.14, the latest from Ubuntu Natty. It now has JWM 500, up from 493. Gnumeric 1.10.13 is a necessity because our very own yarddog had posted a bug to Gnumeric that is corrected in 1.0.13. Lucid 5.25 uses the Woof of FEB 28 replacing the Woof of NOV 28 for 3 months of progress in Woof development. All of the favorite Puppy programs are there in their latest versions. Check out Pburn by zigbert which now compares favorably with Nero Linux. Gnome-mplayer 1.02 compiled by our own ttuuxxx is a substantial improvement and now works well with both the Openbox and JWM window managers. All this and the the low overhead that makes Puppy fast and the friendliness that makes it fun.
Updated Puppy Programs
Pburn 3.3.4
Pmusic 1.6.6
Asunder from 2.0 to 2.1
xz-utils added
Osmo from 0.2.8 to 0.2.10 (even though it stills says 0.2.8 on the titlebar)
Asunder cd ripper from 2.0 to 2.1
grub4dos config 1.7
JWM Thememaker 1.5
replaced pStopwatch and Ptimer with pClock and pTiming
PupRadio 0.8 (from 0.7)
Updated Ubuntu and other binaries
Sylpheed 3.1.0 (from 3.1.0 b2)
gnome-mplayer 1.0.2
Geany 0.20 (from 0.19.1)
Gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.2
libntfs-3g (lucid update one library)
Gparted 0.8.0
openssl 0.9.8o (from 0.9.8k)
General Update
Flashplayer 10.2r153
From Instant Update 001 for Lucid 5.2
include some "exotic drivers" including jfs since Puppy is used as a "rescue disk"
add Desksetup Templates for Desk Icons (01micko)
add PupControl 1.4.1 (radky, Setup icon on desktop)

Lucid Puppy 5.2.5
Very few changes
-> Rox slowdown issue fixed (01micko and others)
-> 2 menu item duplicates (Sylpheed and Iron)
-> Quickpet Iron
-> Stay-Connected added
Lupu-521 RC
Release What You Tested
Very few changes
-> back to flashplayer 10.2.153.1 by forum feedback
-> back to DejaVu Sans desktop font by forum feedback, but Liberation are still installed and available
-> back to original udev because the updates seemed to be associated with network dropouts
-> latest BaCon in Devx to make Barry happy - runtime libhug in iso
-> i915.modeset version 2 by rerwin
-> considerable work on devx
Better Safe than Sorry
-> guvcview back to 1.4.4
-> /usr/lib/gconv/IBM850.so
-> Quickset (firstrun) message about setting UTF-8
-> udev-151 from Ubuntu Lucid Updates cut down to file to file with Barry's udev-124 (which it replaces)
-> udev_lib-151 updated from Lucid Updates
-> 2 barks is enough - code snippet to stop barks if necessary
-> Liberation fonts properly installed (thanks to 01micko) and set as default
1. udev has to do with hardware detection and configuration (sound, modems, usb, etc.) : Does udev-151 and the updated libraries solve any problems (or create any)?
If you have a problem and this doesn't solve it, please download the udev-full-151 and install that and reboot. Any help?
2. Do you prefer Liberation Sans fonts (current default) or Deja Vu Sans fonts (previous default)?
3. The usual basics: Are sound, video, etc., properly set up? Do the programs work?
(I changed the name of luci_devx_251 to 257 I hope that doesn't mess up the md5sum--I don't know.)
Delta file.......
-> symlinks to libssl and libcrypto 0.9.7
-> PupControl program defaults added
-> latest Quickpet 4.2
-> rules to distinguish between different Intel 845 video chipsets (rerwin)
-> rt2800usb fix from tempestuous
-> Flashplayer reverted to 10.1r102
In testing, upgrades from the previous luci version are not the most important thing now--most testing should be done pfix=ram. And then at the end we will test upgrading Lucid 5.2. Please test Audio, Video (especially Intel video), and modems, and everything else.
Luci-254 is Ready and Waiting
Issues found and fixed since luci-253
-> wget, ssh issue - fixed by using openssl 0.9.8o, an update from 0.9.8k
-> Aide Abiword - duplicate Abiword listing in languages other than English and now French - same listing for program and for Help
-> /root/.history not being written - fixed with bash 4.1.0
-> gnome-mplayer crashing Google Earth - fixed with gnome-mplayer 1.0.2
-> gnome-mplayer 1.0.2 icons - fixed by 01micko
-> gnome-mplayer full screen problem with jwm - fixed with 1.0.2
-> caught localization problem (petget) - petget uses a technique that wipes localization - commented it out
-> include backgrounds from 5.2 to prevent missing background error on upgrade
-> Update PupRadio 0.8, JWM Thememaker 1.5, Pburn 3.3.4
-> PupControl 1.4.1
-> Guvcview 1.4.4 replacing Luvcview
Luci-254 is the most leading-edge Lucid ever.
It has
Bash 4.1.0
, an upgrade from Bash 3,
Syslinux 4.03
, an upgrade from Syslinux 3, and
e2fsprogs 1.41.14
, the latest from Ubuntu Natty. It also has all of the updated Puppy programs and the Ubuntu binaries listed below. It now has
, up from 493.
We got
Gnumeric 1.10.13
(up from 1.10.12 in 5.2) because our very own
had posted a bug to Gnumeric that is corrected in 1.0.13.
It uses the
Woof of FEB 28
replacing Woof of FEB 22 which replaced the Woof of NOV 28. This is the Woof we will stay with because in the next one Barry has merged the zzz-Utilities.
libpython has been added to the devx (and to the Python in PPM). integer.pm has been added to perl. With Syslinux 4, I was able to install Puppy and boot a usb flash disk with ext4. pcdripper was not starting properly and I removed it. Asunder works. Icons in jwm menu work. Sound is persistent. jwm background works. jwm500 now has the correct support files from 01micko.
I think I have fixed the issues reported previously.

Luci-250 will become Lucid 5.2.1, hopefully by March 5, the 2-month anniversary of the release of Lucid 5.2 and the 10-month anniversary of the original Lucid 5.0. It should be the last release of Lucid Puppy.
glad to see you are back in the saddle again - perhaps this will be the last release of Lucid Puppy but looking forward to seeing your name on many more exciting projects in the future
d/l luci-250 and booted from live cd - installed browser and few other items - autoconnected to internet and everything looking good so far

Luci-250 live pfix=ram on the main Linux box.Internet,sound and display all working and correct on initial boot.
One little thing, in JWM there are no menu icons for Sylpheed, Geany and Gnome MPlayer......no problem in the default Openbox though.
No problem turning on the firewall and no problems with Quickpet.
I've already done a manual frugal install on the P4 test box....I'll reboot into Luci-250 in a few for a better test.
Looking good here so far.

I should have said that the Setup icon on the desktop starts PupControl.

Upgrading frugal installs.
A big thing that needs testing is how well pup-save files update.
This is the first version of Lucid Puppy to have the changes that should correct the problems of the past.

Version upgrade improvements
Thanks for the feedback guys. I have made some changes, which will be in the next build of Wary.
there are changes in the 'init' script in the initrd.gz file. A new release of Puppy is required.
I assume this means the changes are in the newest version of Woof used to make this Luci 250.

Will try this when I have a chance and will report back with results.
Can't wait to try it!
Quite frankly, I'm so pleased with the last beta that came out I'm still using it! (Also because the official release doesn't seem to cooperate with Amarok.)

James you ahve to teach me do the GLX thing looks impressive to be able to give such figures. I use Acer D250 Netbook and they are very small and have a single core Atom CPU so I don't expect they render graphics that fast.
I will download the latest iso now and test but how do I get the GLXGear thing going so I can tell how it appears here.
Sound not up to expectations. Is that not something puppy have always have problem with. My poor memory but does not some of the other Linux has higher sound output? Slax? Antix, Elive, Knoppix? CDLinux? Even TinyCore?
I am hopefully wrong. I get back and tell how the latest Luci behave on my little puter
Edit I am in Luci-250 now and typical of me I renamed it luci-520 and it failed to boot.
What to test? Browsing seems as usual. Opps forgot to listen to sound on youtube. Yes we have sound.
So check if mediaplayer do what it should.
pictures and mediafiles play as they should. I did download and installed Chrome to see that the PPM in Quick set up worked.
How does one do the glx gear thing?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

No sound after reboot - used retrovol to recover - reboot - sound gone again - deleted 10alsa as suggested - reboot - sound OK.
Tested pnethood samba share with WinXP - OK
Tested cups remote raw printer using smbc: - OK

Also any chance of updating the Fujitsu fpit driver for 5.2.1 as the version shipped with 5.2 is broken. See

Note: It looks like we might have the same problem with alsa that we had in Lucid 5.2. If sound is not persistent, right-click the volume/speaker icon in the tray and choose full window and then make sure Front is turned up. You can also delete /etc/init.d/10alsa, which fixed it last time (courtesy of 01micko).[quote]
also had problem with sound after creating save file on usb stick. on second reboot sound was muted.
tried alsafix provided by pemasu from snow puppy 010
did not work
deleted 10alsa from /etc/init.d, rebooted and sound is now ok
no other problems detected

Hogweed don't get me wrong but doesn't he explain that on the first post in this thread. Maybe you mean further away from that goal?

guess you mean it is the latest just now?

Kansas outlasts Oklahoma State, takes big step toward Big 12 title
STILLWATER, Okla. -- They played on into the night here inside a frenzied Gallagher-Iba Arena, two NCAA tournament-bound teams harboring hopes of winning an unexpectedly competitive Big 12 conference.
And in the end, ninth-ranked Kansas outlasted 14th-ranked Oklahoma State, 68-67 in double overtime, managing a regular season split with the Cowboys and taking a significant step toward its ninth consecutive Big 12 regular season title.
Kansas guard Naadir Tharpe sank a mid-range floater with 15 seconds to play -- the Jayhawks' only field goal in either overtime – that proved to be the game-winning basket. Oklahoma State, playing the final two-plus minutes without standout guard Marcus Smart (fouled out), could not get off a good shot on its final possession.
"Dude just went in and made a tough shot … " Smart said. "It was difficult not being out there. I felt I let my teammates down."
The game could not have been much closer. There were 16 ties, 23 lead changes, and the largest lead by either team was Kansas' five-point advantage in the second half.
And the same could be said of a conference race that remains competitive in a top-heavy league that could send as many as six teams to the NCAA tournament. Entering Wednesday night's games, the top six teams in the Big 12 standings were separated by 2.5 games. No Big 12 season has finished with the top six teams separated by two games or fewer.
Kansas is tied with Kansas State (21-5, 10-3) for first place in the Big 12 standings. Kansas has five remaining regular season games: home matchups against the league's weakest teams (TCU, West Virginia and Texas Tech) and treacherous road games against Iowa State and Baylor.
"This was a huge win for conference implications," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I really thought Oklahoma State had the easiest path. We probably still have the toughest road."
Questions have hovered over Kansas ever since Oklahoma State's Smart punctuated his team's win over the Jayhawks with a back flip inside Allen Fieldhouse on Feb 2. They went on to lose their next two games after that surprising home defeat, including a loss at TCU that stands as one of the biggest upsets in recent seasons. And resounding victories at home against Big 12-leading Kansas State and struggling Texas only did so much to restore confidence in last season's national runner-ups.
Wednesday night's rematch between Kansas and Oklahoma State turned out to be a competitive and taut game in which the two headliners – Kansas' Ben McLemore and Oklahoma State's Smart – were near afterthoughts offensively until late in regulation.
Nearly a dozen NBA scouts had turned out to watch two of the premier players in the nation. But the freshmen, both projected to be lottery draft picks if they choose to leave school after this season, combined to shoot 0-for-13 from the field in the first half.
Neither scored a field goal in the game until McLemore's follow-up dunk with 10 minutes remaining in the game. Smart was held in check in almost every way except at the free-throw line, where he made 11 of 14 shots. (Smart was 2 of 14 from the field.)
Oklahoma State had won seven consecutive conference games, its longest streak since winning 11 in a row during its Final Four season of 2003-04. During that stretch, Smart had averaged 19.1 points and 6.1 rebounds, with 31 assists and 24 steals.
But with Smart struggling from the field, the Cowboys were fortunate to find themselves in a 26-all tie at halftime. Oklahoma State, which shot just 29 percent in the first half (1 of 10 from three-point range), was also outrebounded and outrun by the Jayhawks.
With the score tied at 57 in the final minute of regulation, Smart dribbled the clock down to seven seconds before flinging up a desperation heave as time expired, sending the game to the first overtime.
But Kansas would find a way to win it, narrowly escaping with a critical victory in hopes of claiming a ninth consecutive Big 12 regular-season crown.
Oklahoma State, which lost at home to Gonzaga on Dec. 31, has now lost two games at home this season, both by a point. Regardless of how the Big 12 race turns out, Oklahoma State is hoping to see Kansas again, next time in the Big 12 tournament.
"Can't wait for it," Smart said. "We definitely can't wait for another shot at them."

Bobby Valentine's tenure as Red Sox manager is, in all likelihood, coming to an end, which is sad, because whatever faults you can find with the favorite son of Stamford, Conn., at least he's genuine. Yeah, he might be a genuine nutcase, but such candor and expression should be considered refreshing in an age of canned sound bites and constant PR wariness for saying The Wrong Thing.
This afternoon, it was WEEI's Glenn Ordway who felt the brunt of Valentine's anger, after implying that a report by the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo that Valentine showed up "late" to a recent game in Oakland might be a larger indication that he's mentally checking out as manager. That Ordway's loose paraphrase of Cafardo mangled the article's gist went unsaid, though it likely would've made little difference.
"If I was there, I'd punch you right in the mouth."
I sincerely hope Bobby Valentine finds another managing gig next season, somewhere, anywhere. Baseball is undeniably more interesting with him than without.

Vergne on quest for new F1 team
Jean-Eric Vergne says he understands why Toro Rosso has dropped him for 2015 in favour of Dutch teenager Max Verstappen.
The Frenchman said at Spa-Francorchamps that he learned of Red Bull's decision only hours before the rest of the world did.
"I have only one thing to say," he is quoted by RMC Sport at Spa-Francorchamps. "I will always be grateful for what Red Bull did for me.
"We can't forget that they gave me the same chance three years ago that they are giving Verstappen now.
"So I totally understand the decision. Toro Rosso is a team for young drivers, and I am apparently too old," laughed the 24-year-old.
"Maybe I should shave more often to look younger!"
Vergne said he is determined to stay in formula one, and will use the remaining eight races of 2014 to prove he deserves to.
"It will not change the way I drive," he promised.
"I think there will be more eyes on me now because this Toro Rosso label will be gone from my head and I'll be of interest to others that maybe didn't look at me before.
"It is in difficult times that you can show your best. I have a positive mindset."
Toro Rosso team boss Franz Tost said on Thursday that he will "pray to Jesus Christ" that Vergne's car is reliable for the rest of 2014 so that he can prove what he can do.
Asked if Red Bull will actively help him find a new seat, Vergne said: "This is a discussion I am having now.
"Many people have called me to help me but I am convinced that the best help will be for me to get results," he added, admitting he has already had "a little bit" of contact with other teams.
