After updating my system today (with all the new KDE stuff and such), my system hangs during boot, at
[ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.
Pressing enter brings me to a terminal login, and I can access others through Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc.
I read through the end of the pacman log, but didn't find anything that seemed pertinent - something about all cabalized packages needing to be reinstalled, but in my reading of ther people's threads on ghc and haskell during the update, I didn't see anyone with the problem I had.
Any thoughts?
okay, as explained below, my system isn't hanging, but it's also not automatically starting kdm which automatically logs me in, and it should be doing that.
I am getting at least two error messages during boot. The first goes by too quickly for me to see anything except the existence of red text; the second reads (in part)
see systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
which eventually leads to me finding that the vboxdrv is not loading properly. My brief research showed no way to fix this, and I removed all virtualbox-related packages with pacman, but a reboot shows no obvious change. I'll continue looking into it tomorrow, I am so done for tonight.

If pressing enter brings up a login prompt, it sounds like it's booting just fine and that message is just showing after getty starts. What's the problem? You don't even have to hit enter, just enter your username and go on like normal.
FWIW, the last time i had my system hang there, i had to uninstall the reinstall a different graphics card driver (in my case, nvidia for nvidia-beta).
If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Clean the [censored] car. -The Wolf
@Scimmia, I totally forgot that my setup is not the only one: what should happen is kdm should automatically log me in and then lock the screen.
@flipper T - reinstalling nvidia (without uninstalling or changing the driver) has entirely solved the problem, thanks.
Okay actually, it worked exactly one time, and while booted up happily I upgraded linux and linux-headers (and one other thing?) and now I'm back at square one, except uninstalling and reinstalling nvidia doesn't help; more info added to original post.
What does
systemctl status kdm.service
And can you start X manually?
systemctl status kdm.service
kdm.service - K Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service; disabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2013-02-10 07:25:10 EST; 12min ago
Main PID: 374 (kdm)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/kdm.service
⌙374 /usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
also, I'm not used to starting X manually, but both +startx" and "xorg-xinit", as suggested by the wiki, return "command not found".
The kdm systemd unit is disabled, run
sudo systemctl enable kdm.service
and reboot.
"xorg-xinit" is the package that provides "startx", which you don't seem to have.
After executing the given command, no change at all.
I installed xorg-xinit and ran startx, which returns, after lots in initializing things,
Loading extension GLX

and the seemingly relevant bit of my kernel.log

that same code also appears a little later on.
So, it appears to be a nvidia problem. So far I have uninstalled and reinstalled nvidia, and I have run nvidia-xconfig as root, with no change.
After installing nvidia-beta, things appear to be working.
Forgot to mention to you previously....I have had to alternate between nvidia & nvidia-beta with each new kernal update. I do not understand why.
To add to the mystery, I would bet that you can now successfully re-install nvidia now. This is why I initially recommended alternating the two.
If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Clean the [censored] car. -The Wolf
I have previously had to reinstall nvidia after kernel updates, but never have I had to install a different version. It's an odd little buggish thing, to be sure, but easily fixed, I guess.

Social and Economic Problems. 1a Then there rose a great outcry of the people and their wives against certain of their Jewish kindred.* 2Some said: "We are forced to pawn our sons and daughters in order to get grain to eat that we may live." 3Others said: "We are forced to pawn our fields, our vineyards, and our houses, that we may have grain during the famine." 4Still others said: "To pay the king's tax we have borrowed money on our fields and vineyards. 5b And though these are our own kindred, and our children are as good as theirs, we have had to reduce our sons and daughters to slavery, and violence has been done to some of our daughters! Yet we can do nothing about it, for our fields and vineyards belong to others."
6I was extremely angry when I heard the reasons for their complaint. 7c After some deliberation, I called the nobles and magistrates to account, saying to them, "You are exacting interest from your own kindred!"* I then rebuked them severely, 8d saying to them: "As far as we were able, we bought back our Jewish kindred who had been sold to Gentiles; you, however, are selling your own kindred, to have them bought back by us." They remained silent, for they could find no answer. 9I continued: "What you are doing is not good. Should you not conduct yourselves out of fear of our God rather than fear of the reproach of our Gentile enemies? 10I myself, my kindred, and my attendants have lent the people money and grain without charge. Let us put an end to this usury! 11Return to them this very day their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses, together with the interest on the money, the grain, the wine, and the oil that you have lent them." 12They answered: "We will return everything and exact nothing further from them. We will do just what you ask." Then I called for the priests to administer an oath to them that they would do as they had promised. 13I shook out the folds of my garment, saying, "Thus may God shake from home and fortune every man who fails to keep this promise, and may he thus be shaken out and emptied!" And the whole assembly answered, "Amen," and praised the LORD. Then the people did as they had promised.
Nehemiah's Record. 14Moreover, from the time that King Artaxerxes appointed me governor in the land of Judah, from his twentieth to his thirty-second year—during these twelve years neither I nor my kindred lived off the governor's food allowance. 15The earlier governors,* my predecessors, had laid a heavy burden on the people, taking from them each day forty silver shekels for their food; then, too, their attendants oppressed the people. But I, because I feared God, did not do this. 16In addition, though I had acquired no land of my own, I did my part in this work on the wall, and all my attendants were gathered there for the work. 17Though I set my table for a hundred and fifty persons, Jews and magistrates, as well as the neighboring Gentiles who came to us, 18and though the daily preparations were made at my expense—one ox, six choice sheep, poultry—besides all kinds of wine in abundance every ten days, despite this I did not claim the governor's allowance, for the labor lay heavy upon this people. 19Keep in mind, my God, to my credit all that I did for this people.
* [5:1] Certain of their Jewish kindred: probably Jews who had returned from Babylonia who formed the social and economic elite in the province.
* [5:7] You are exacting interest from your own kindred!: contrary to the Mosaic law (Dt 23:20).
* [5:15] The earlier governors: both Sheshbazzar (Ezr 5:14) and Zerubbabel (Hg 1:1, 14; 2:2, 21) are said to be governors, and Mal 1:8 mentions a governor but does not name him. Other names are known from seal impressions of uncertain date.

There has been an enormous amount of coverage of this project, and unfortunately there has been a good deal of inaccuracies around the payment system and objectives of the program in general. Please follow this link that clarifies these points.
UPDATE: Obviously, there's an insane amount of chatter about this, which although certainly villianizes us, in many ways is very good for the homeless people we're trying to help: homelessness is actually a subject being discussed at SXSW and these people are no longer invisible. It's unfortunate how much information being shared is incorrect (an unresearched story by ReadWriteWeb, which has now been updated is the epicenter of that misinformation). So, without being defensive (we welcome the educated critiques), we wanted to share a few key facts:
+ We are not selling anything. There is no brand involved. There is no commercial benefit whatsoever.
+ This is a test program that was always scheduled to end today (there's no 2-week payment cycle)
+ Each of the Hotspot Managers keeps all of the money they earn. The more they sell their own access, the more they as individuals make (it's not a collected pot to be shared unless people choose to donate generally).
+ Underheard in NY is NOT becoming a reality TV show. The confidential plans are much more akin to an interactive documentary. Regardless of what happens, it will stay true to the original idea: to give homeless people an unedited voice so people can understand their lives.
+ The biggest criticism (which we agree with actually) is that Street Newspapers allow for content creation by the homeless (we encourage those to research this a bit more as it certainly does not work exactly as you would assume). This is definitely a part of the vision of the program but alas we could not afford to create a custom log-in page because it's through a device we didn't make. However, we'd really like to see iterations of the program in which this media channel of hotspots is owned by the homeless organizations and used as a platform for them to create content. We are doing this because we believe in the model of street newspapers.
UPDATE 2: Thank you to everyone here for your comments, criticism, feedback and support. We can't respond to every comment here, but we will be responding in the coming days.
Update 3: Another bit of information being reported inaccurately relates to the finances of the homeless individuals participating. To clarify: These volunteers were guaranteed make at least $50/day, for a maximum of 6 hours work. This amount equates to more than the Texas state minimum wage of $7.25/hr for the same number hours. Based on donations already received, we know their earnings will be higher than $50 for each of them – as was our intention. What's been misunderstood is the break-out of money in cash per day vs. what's received after the program ends. BBH provides a $20 cash "stipend" to the volunteers each day regardless of their own sales. This is the cash amount that was handed to them each day while the program was live (it ended yesterday) and was advised specifically by our friends at Front Steps shelter, who are conscious of the responsibility that comes with handing cash to someone facing financial challenges daily, but who still needs to work toward a long-term solution for housing and employment. The additional money raised by each Hotspot Manager will be delivered via money order from the shelter where they have a program in place that helps the participants save about 2/3's toward their employment and housing goals. Again, this has all been built based on input from the shelter and the participants' case managers in a way that's best for the participants.
UPDATE 4: This isn't quite an update as it's reflected in the post below, but we wanted to clarify the latest bit of misinformation. The program was not "canceled;" it was always intended as a 4 day program. In fact, as the debate heated, it was the homeless volunteers themselves who insisted on seeing through the last day as an opportunity to share their side of the story. Thus we saw the program through as planned. We'll be reporting on success metrics shortly but can confirm our friends at Front Steps Shelter in Austin consider it a great success for themselves. Read their reactions at facebook.com/frontsteps (or any of the media coverage they've received globally), and please consider a donation to one of the Hotspot Managers as we wrap things up via homelesshotspots.org.
UPDATE 5 (April 30, 2012): We are working with StreetWise, the largest street paper in the US deal with numerous modernization issues, including many of those outlined in our post of learning points from this program. For more details, you can read the follow-up post.
****Original Pre-SXSW Post Below****
As always this time of year, we're abuzz in anticipation of SXSW Interactive. Whether it's talks we're attending, or the talks we're giving, SXSW is a consistent growth opportunity for the team. This year though, we're also trying a bit of charitable innovation.
As you may know, we created Underheard in NY last year via our Barn intern program. The premise was simple: give homeless individuals a voice via Twitter. The program was so successful that you'll be seeing an update on its unexpected future at some point soon.
Since then, we've stayed interested in the homeless issue. One particular aspect we find intriguing is Street Newspapers, which are print publications created and sold by homeless populations as a form of entrepreneurial employment. The model has proven successful enough to be adopted in cities spanning 30 countries. The issue however, is that like any print publication, these newspapers are under duress from the proliferation of digital media. How often do you see someone "buy" a paper, only to let the homeless individual keep it? This not only prevents the paper from serving as a tool for the individual to avoid begging, but it proves how little value people actually place on the publication itself. Yet the model isn't inherently broken. It's simply the output that's archaic in the smartphone age.
So we decided to modernize it.
This year in Austin, as you wonder between locations murmuring to your coworker about how your connection sucks and you can't download/stream/tweet/instagram/check-in, you'll notice strategically positioned individuals wearing "Homeless Hotspot" t-shirts. These are homeless individuals in the Case Management program at Front Steps Shelter. They're carrying MiFi devices. Introduce yourself, then log on to their 4G network via your phone or tablet for a quick high-quality connection. You pay what you want (ideally via the PayPal link on the site so we can track finances), and whatever you give goes directly to the person that just sold you access. We're believers that providing a digital service will earn these individuals more money than a print commodity.
We're using SXSW as our beta test. Hopefully you can help us optimize and validate this platform, which we hope to see adopted on a broader scale. Any and all support is appreciated (including donations from afar).

Post subject: Oven Roasting Smoke Problem
When oven-roasting a chicken, is there a way to prevent the drippings from smoking up the house?
I have a recipe that requires cooking the bird at 500 degrees for over twenty minutes. Although the result looks and tastes great, obnoxious fumes from the drippings that hit the bottom of the roasting tray ruin an otherwise delicious meal.
The problem, of course, is to prevent the melting chicken fat from touching the hot surface. I've thought of using aluminum foil but, other than making cleanup easier, I can't see what good that would do.

Roasting over a bed of thick-cut mirepoix does wonders for preserving and flavoring your juices for later use in a gravy and should resolve your smoking issue.

would serve the purpose of the mirepoix noted above, be a little simpler to assemble. I usually line the pan I bake a brisket in with such to prevent scorching. The onions caramelized in the dripping fat are usually better than the brisket itself.

Post subject: Add water or broth to the roasting pan
I picked this up from the Cooks Illustrated book on Chicken (and just did this when roasting a chicken today). If you add 1/2 cup of water (or an equal amount of chicken broth) to the roasting pan it will keep the drippings from burning. You may need to add more as the roasting progresses, depending upon how big your chicken is. If you add broth, then you get the added benefit that you've just performed a double reduction on the broth and it makes a richer pan sauce or gravy

Make sure your oven is fairly clean as well - obvious, I know, but a good thing to remember.
My roommate regularly gets drippings all over the inside of the oven whenever she cooks (drives me insane!!!) and I usually don't notice until I go to cook something at 450 or higher. It gets all smoky in there, and starts to set the kitchen smoke alarm off. Very irritating. I cleaned it to an immaculate state and almost immediately after she made ham and got ham juice all over the door.

I find that when I add water or veggies under my chicken or pork or beef roast, it makes the oven humid and I don't get my crispy golden skin. My chickens go in at 450 for one hour and I've never had any problem with smoking up the house. I run probably 30+ meals through my kitchen a week, so it isn't due to volume.
I can tell you this, the inside of my oven has a patina like a cast iron skillet. While I don't usually go above 450, it'll do 450 for more than a few hours without any wafts.
Ya know, I may not be getting the volume of smoke because my oven vent goes in to my exhaust hood. Even so, it's got about 12" between the exhaust and intake and I don't see 'huge' amounts.
As far as messy roomates, you could line the bottom of the oven with foil, that might help. Just don't cover up any vents you might have if it's a gas oven.

This is light and dreamy and really easy to make. A little slice of heaven! Now and then I get a craving for sweets, so when I stumbled onto Cottage Magpie and saw her recipe for no-bake cheesecake, I knew I had to make this, lighter of course! Adding a teaspoon of lemon juice is essential to enhance the flavors, so don't skip this!
No-Bake Cheesecake

OHCHR in Cambodia
Although Cambodia has experienced strong economic growth in the last decade, serious problems related to government accountability and the independence of the judiciary remain. Cambodia is still plagued by misuse and abuse of laws, failure to respect or enforce laws, and impunity with no accountability or redress. There is little effective restraint on the exercise of executive power.
The space for civil society to protect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms is shrinking, with continuing attacks and harassment directed against human rights defenders and community activists. Restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly, along with difficulties in accessing information held by public authorities, such as term records,make it difficult for Cambodians to voice their concerns and to participate knowledgeably and meaningfully in policy and decision making that directly affect their lives and livelihoods.
The pursuit of economic growth has led to the violation of the human rights of the poor and marginalized populations in rural and urban areas. There is significant concern that the current pattern of economic development in Cambodia could result in increased dispossession and victimization of vulnerable sectors of the population.
During 2008-2009, Cambodia will hold national elections through which the ruling party will attempt to gain full control over Parliament. At the time of writing, opposition parties appear fractured and factionalized. There are concerns that the violence and unrest that marred previous elections may reoccur.
In the last biennium, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for human rights in Cambodia conducted three missions, in March 2006 and May and December 2007. The Cambodia Office also hosted a visit by the High Commissioner in May 2006. Cambodia's initial report under the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women was considered in January 2006 and its next report is expected in November 2009. Cambodia will be considered under the Universal Periodic Review in 2009.
During the 2006-2007 biennium, OHCHR worked with the Government of Cambodia to develop draft legislation consistent with its international human rights treaty obligations, and to secure ratification of outstanding treaties and follow-up to recommendations of relevant treaty bodies.
The Office also worked closely with UNICEF in the area of juvenile justice, particularly with the aim of reducing custodial sentences for persons under the age of 18, in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. A landmark ruling by the Constitutional Council in July 2007 reaffirmed that courts should take into account the age of the perpetrator in order to impose lesser sentences. This decision restored consistency to the application of the law and reinforced the constitutional protection of the rights of children in Cambodia. The Constitutional Council's ruling was a response to a civil society petition that, in turn,was a product of capacitybuilding work led by the Cambodia Office.
The Office responded to numerous requests for assistance in relation to disputes about land and natural resource concessions. It worked with the Technical Working Group on Land, one of 19 sectoral governmentdonor coordination bodies, with civil society actors, and with the United Nations on human rights issues related to land and livelihoods.
OHCHR also intervened on individual cases involving restrictions on freedom of expression or association, illegal arrests and other serious breaches of criminal process guarantees, and forced evictions. It raised its concerns with national and provincial authorities, proposing appropriate responses, and encouraging the authorities to conduct credible investigations into reported allegations and to ensure effective remedy. The Office arranged for the translation into Khmer of core documents on human rights, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and human rights treaties, and disseminated them across the country. It has also made available a compilation of key domestic laws in print, CD-ROM format and via the Internet.
A sustainable solution to Cambodia's complex and deeply rooted human rights problems will not be found through financial or technical assistance alone, but will require effective mechanisms of accountability and political commitment to genuine reform.
OHCHR will seek to improve dialogue and cooperation with the Government at the policy making and implementation levels, advocate for Government accountability to its citizens and respect for national laws and for its obligations under international human rights treaties. This work will include advice and assistance to the Government on the implementation of human rights treaties to which it is a party, particularly the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (OPCAT).
The Office will continue to focus on developing and implementing laws and policies that comply with international human rights obligations and standards, particularly in relation to the administration of justice, the protection and promotion of fundamental freedoms, safeguarding the rights of indigenous communities, and equitable and transparent management of land and other natural resources.
OHCHR will also provide advice to the Government on the establishment of a national human rights institution that complies with the Paris Principles.
The Office will continue to work with the Government on the organization and administration of justice and access to effective remedy, including on individual cases and specific situations that require preventive or remedial action by the relevant authorities. As part of its rule-of-law programme, the Office will follow the work of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, established in June 2007 to try crimes committed during the Khmer Rouge period, with the aim of gathering good practices and models that may help support the independence and integrity of the Cambodian judiciary and contribute to efforts to combat impunity for human rights abuses, past and present.
OHCHR will continue to raise national and international awareness and understanding of the human rights situation in Cambodia through monitoring, analysis and reporting on trends, issues and cases.
As the only member of the UN Country Team with a protection and public reporting mandate, OHCHR will continue to promote joint efforts by the Country Team and donor agencies, including through technical working groups, to address common issues of concern, such as access to justice, transparency and accountability, and human rights-based approaches to development, including in the management of land and natural resources.
Through strengthened partnerships, capacity-building activities and direct protection interventions on behalf of civil society actors and human rights defenders, OHCHR will promote a supportive environment for citizens' participation in public and political life, including action to uphold human rights.
With its partners in the UN Country Team and the wider donor community, the Office will promote greater integration of human rights into the work of the UN and other international actors in Cambodia, and greater respect for human rights and the rule of law in the development, implementation and enforcement of national laws and policies. The UNDAF for 2006-2010, to which the Office contributes substantively, is a strong, rightsbased document that identifies four focus areas: good governance and the promotion and protection of human rights; agriculture and rural poverty; capacity building and human resource development for the social sector; and support for the National Strategic Development Plan (2006-2010). While the Office's programme contributes to all of these objectives, its emphasis is on protection, assistance and advisory work in the first two areas.
The Office will continue its efforts to promote and support increased government and civil society engagement and cooperation with UN treaty bodies, special procedures and the Human Rights Council. This will include providing advice and assistance to the Government to ensure progress on its reporting obligations under the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT), the ICESCR, and the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), and on its engagement with the Human Rights Council. The Office will also encourage civil society to participate in treaty reporting and Universal Periodic Review processes by submitting shadow reports or information to relevant Committees. The Office will continue to promote engagement with special procedures mandate-holders by the Government and civil society.

JLeRN Reporting: Recommendations for Future Learning Registry Work in the UK
This is one of a series of posts from the JLeRN Experiment, forming sections of what will be our Final Report. Please send feedback and discussion in the comments section, as your own blog post response, via Twitter (hashtags #jlern #learningreg) or on the OER-Discuss and Learning Registry email lists. To see all the posts, click here
JLeRN Draft Report: 5. Recommendations
Current context: JISC
When these recommendations were originally drafted in June 2012, with the help of JISC CETIS and Amber Thomas, we were just at the start of a period of flux within our funding body JISC. We are well into the changes now, so we share these recommendations in the knowledge that we do not yet fully know the future shape of the new JISC and its community, nor how it will make funding decisions, nor what its priorities will be. Nevertheless, we put these ideas out there for discussion and posterity. The final version will take into account community feedback, so please fire away!
Current context: The Learning Registry
Equally, the future of the Learning Registry itself in the U.S. past October 2012 is unclear; it is likely that it will continue in some form, perhaps with a different funding structure. Moreover, much of the interest and exploratory work that has emerged in the U.S. is in the schools sector, around curriculum-related paradata.
JLeRN's final days
JLeRN will finish at the end of October 2012, alongside the end of the JISC OER Rapid Innovation projects who are working with the Learning Registry. Several small-scale tasks will be carried out by keen contributors to JLeRN by the end of October (including taking part in a small end-of-JLeRN Workshop at Mimas on 22 October 2012):
- ENGrich project case study from the University of Liverpool.
- Pat Lockley's four Pgogy tools for easy exploration of the Learning Registry.
- Terry McAndrew from JISC TechDIS will provide an accessibility paradata use case.
- David Kay of Sero Consulting will provide a Broader Context Report.
- The RIDLR project will report to the JLeRN Final Workshop on its findings.
All of these outputs, plus the final version of the report these JLeRN Reporting blog posts will feed into, will be made available here on the JLeRN blog.
As noted in the Skills and Capacity section of this report:
"[…] if we are to close the gap between the strategic enthusiasm for the potential wins of the Learning Registry, and the small-scale use case and prototype testing phase we are in, we will need a big push backed by a clear understanding that we will be walking into some of the same minefields we've trodden in, cyclically, for the past however many decades. And it is by no means clear yet that the will is there, in the community or at the strategic level."
The recommendations below are still just putting the pieces together for a unified vision around sharing and using paradata in education; we are not yet ready, technically, or as a community of Learning Registry followers, to support that "big push".
5.1 Recommendation: Synthesis of JLeRN, OER Rapid Innovation and related UK findings on Learning Registry.
This should include input from Liverpool University and others who have expressed an interest by attending Learning Registry / JLeRN meetings and workshops to date, perhaps carried out via a survey and/or other formal methods. Current developments within the U.S. Learning Registry project should be noted. There was also a whisper at one point that there was interest at the BBC, which would be worth looking into.
5.2 Recommendation: Explore benefits of the Learning Registry for UK sectors with well-defined curricula, e.g. schools, work-based learning and FE/Skills.
Educational sectors where there is a well-defined curriculum have been closely involved in the U.S. Learning Registry project. One UK HE project with a strong commitment to exploring the Learning Registry to date has been RIDLR, which is looking at the affordances for sharing paradata within and around a well-specified and mandated medical curriculum. It is therefore likely that there will be interest in the Learning Registry in sectors outwith UK HE that work with defined curricula.
5.3 Recommendation: Building on the experience of JLeRN and the current UK task group
There are likely to be ongoing explorations that projects, institutions, services (e.g. Jorum) and interested individuals (e.g. Pat Lockley) would like to do. Funding small well-specified projects to work on these tasks would be useful. Deciding whether JLeRN as a project providing a node or nodes, and expertise, will still be needed to support these (as opposed to them using U.S. Learning Registry nodes) would be a necessary part of planning this.
5.4 Recommendation: Explore mutual affordances with Activity Data work and other JISC Programmes
Those interested in activity streams, activity data, library circulation data, research data management, linked data, Semantic Web, and so on have noted an interest in JLeRN and the Learning Registry, and JLeRN lead Sarah Currier has kept in touch at a high level with key developments. JLeRN has commissioned a brief on the Learning Registry in a broader context than educational technology, which could support future thinking in this area. It may be worth exploring more in-depth tasks or projects to tease this area out.

The Kanex Mini DisplayPort and USB audio to HDMI adapter, which one-ups the previous Monoprice adapter because there's audio.
The Price:
$40 $60
The Verdict: It works. IT WORKS! Playing back 1080p trailers in Quicktime, powered by a MacBook Pro, on our plasma TV was fantastic. And the part where it actually has audio? Yes please.
It's quite easy to use. The USB and Mini DisplayPort goes into the MacBook Pro (or Mac Mini), and the other end takes an HDMI cable. Your Mac should automatically detect the new display, but you have to manually switch the audio output to the USB audio device. If you're planning on using a new Mac Mini, this is the way to go. The video quality is pretty much what you'd expect from a clean 1080p source, and those trailers look good.
And with the problems Apple's own Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters are having, using this and an HDMI-capable monitor might be a smart idea.
The adapters will be available later in the week. I suggest you pick one up if you have any kind of Mini DisplayPort-capable computer you want to throw up onto your TV once in a while. Also, Monoprice has a unit coming up soon as well that's pretty similar. [Kanexlive]
Update: Availability's been pushed to mid-September, after some shortages in components. We will update when we hear anything else.

Leading the news today is Dr. Joe Biden's medical advice, issued on the Today show, that people should avoid riding in airplanes, or taking the subway, or using other forms of mass transit. Never mind that health officials don't agree with Dr. Joe – he's the vice president! With one foot-in-mouth moment, Dr. Joe singlehandedly counteracts the impact of the $800 billion stimulus bill. We love this guy! (So does the President, I am certain.)
Now, in response to your inquiries, more on the Specter decision. Several of you have asked why I discount the political science research showing that a switch in party labels usually leads to a switch in voting patterns. In fact, based on that research, most political scientists that I know believe Specter's voting pattern will now move quickly and significantly to the Left (see here, for example).
The reason why I don't believe this is necessarily the case is because that research is based on House switchers, not Senate switchers. In addition to the differences in how the two chambers operate (the House is designed to empower the majority party as a voting bloc, the Senate operates on a more individualistic basis), House districts are almost always smaller, and more ideologically homogeneous. Senators, on the other hand, represent typically larger and more ideologically diverse states. As a result, House incumbents usually are less vulnerable to electoral defeat (their reelection rates hover in the mid 90% range), and find it easier to stake out a more partisan voting position congruent with the majority of voters in their district. Not so for Senators, who typically face stronger challengers who are more effective at using their voting record against them, and who must appeal to a more diverse electorate. That's why I am skeptical that previous research on party switching based on the House is applicable to the Senate.
But this provides the opportunity for a natural experiment. According to Simon Jackman (see chart below), Specter now ranks as the third most liberal Republican in the current (111th) Senate. (These rankings are based on the Nominate scores – moving Left, along the negative numbers, means you are more liberal, right toward positive numbers is more conservative. The Senators are broken into two columns to save space.)
If I'm right, Specter's voting record should keep him somewhere in the middle of the Senate pack, ideologically, over the course of the next two years. If my poli sci colleagues are correct, he should move sharply left closer to the middle of the Democratic Senate voting ranks (say, into Dianne Feinstein/Harry Reid territory). So we can revisit this issue in two years!
So, why did Specter switch parties? Largely because of the fallout from the stimulus bill – another reminder why bipartisanship is so difficult in today's polarized climate. A March Quinnipiac poll of Pennsylvania voters found the following (see poll here): "Overall Pennsylvania voters have a 45 – 31 percent favorable opinion of Sen. Specter, but he gets a 47 – 29 percent unfavorable score from Republicans. The Republican gets a 60 – 16 percent thumbs up from Democrats and a 41 – 35 percent positive from independent voters." Much of that disapproval is rooted in Specter's support of the stimulus package. "Specter's support of President Barack Obama's Stimulus Package wins 87 – 6 percent support from Democrats and 56 – 38 percent support from independent voters, while Republican voters disapprove 70 – 25 percent." It is not a good sign when your own party's constituents disown you. As a result, he was likely to lose if he ran in the Republican primary against the less well known Republican Congressman Pat Toomey. The Quinnipiac poll found Specter trailing Toomey 41 – 27 percent in a Republican primary for the 2010 Senate race, with 28 percent undecided. A more recent Rasmussen poll (see here) of likely Republican primary voters has Specter getting crushed by Toomey, 51%-30%. More generally, Specter's approval ratings began nosing downward after the stimulus vote, although he still has more favorable than unfavorable support among all voters.
There are two lessons to draw from this. First, if Specter has negotiated an understanding with leading Democrats to clear the field of potential challengers in the Democratic Pennsylvania Senate primary (as it appears to be the case), then he has a strong shot at winning the general election for another term as Pennsylvania Senator. But that wouldn't happen as a Republican; he wasn't likely to make it out of the Republican primary.
My larger point is to reiterate an earlier observation: it is often said by pundits, particularly those on the Left, that the Republicans have become the party of "NO", unalterably opposed to anything Obama proposes. But the reality, as Specter discovered, is that many Republicans on Capitol Hill face a potential backlash among their core Republican voters in the primary if they appear to support programs that involve increased spending and a greater government role in the economy. From this perspective, Republican opposition to much of Obama's program is perfectly logical (and quite predictable). As an aside, note that Obama doesn't seem to grasp this, at least not based on his public statements. Last night during his press conference, he once again reiterated his reminder to Republicans that, "we won." Of course, as I've pointed out in previous posts, from the perspective of individual members of Congress, this is not the case – Obama ran behind most of them, and of course didn't win very many Republican districts at all.
Aside to Jack, Vijay and Marty: I don't have polling data on Tom Ridge versus Specter, but I think Ridge is precisely the kind of Republican who would make it difficult for Specter to win in the general election. However, (for reasons Vijay alludes to in his comment on my earlier post) Ridge would also have to get through the Republican primary – not a sure thing, although he doesn't have the baggage of a stimulus vote to defend. Also, I don't think he has lived in Pennsylvania in some time, although given his history there that may not make a difference to voters. For what it is worth, here's Ridge's statement on Specter's defection:
"I've known Arlen Specter for many years. In no way does his departure from the Republican Party diminish his long record of service to his country and to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
"As Arlen will understand, my support is with my Party and with the people of my home state, whom I believe can best be served in the Senate by the GOP.
"So let's begin the discussion of ideas with a respectful contest as Pennsylvania and the nation continue to work collectively through these challenging times."
Does that mean Ridge is jumping into the race? I have no idea. As for the "Club for Growth" and PAC's more generally, as my colleague Bert Johnson's research reminds us, the power of PACs to shape elections appears to have diminished a bit compared to the relative impact of campaign contributions from strongly partisan individuals. I hope to post on this more extensively. In any case, I wouldn't suggest that Specter is the victim of an orchestrated party purge, so much as he fell prey to diminishing enthusiasm among likely Republican voters. There is a fascinating story here on why politics is increasingly polarized and I hope to discuss it more fully in later posts.

Legislators wrap up a busy session
Hartford — With not a minute to spare before its midnight deadline Wednesday, the General Assembly concluded a three-month session that proved one of the busier even-year sessions in recent memory.
In addition to the typical budget adjustments of a short year, the House and Senate passed several major and controversial bills that will legalize medical marijuana, allow Sunday liquor sales, end the death penalty for future crimes and enact a package of public school education reforms.
Many lawmakers credited Gov. Dannel P. Malloy with helping set the pace with his ambitious agenda.
"This has been one of the most ambitious short sessions I've ever been involved in," Rep. Ted Moukawsher, D-Groton, said. "A lot of it came from the top — the chief executive."
In December, Malloy announced that 2012 would be the year of far-reaching education reform in Connecticut. Shortly after New Year's, he unveiled a multi-pronged plan to both deregulate the liquor business and end the ban on Sunday retail alcohol sales.
The second-year Democratic governor achieved much of what he sought to do, but not everything. He compromised on some of his farthest-reaching education reforms and was outright denied most of his liquor-pricing initiatives.
Malloy, who opened the session with his Feb. 8 State of the State address, delivered closing remarks from the Capitol's Hall of the House of Representatives.
He thanked lawmakers for their public service, praised their legislative accomplishments on education, election law and labor, and declared that Connecticut remains on a rebound track from economic doldrums and previous years' budget crises.
"That's a lot of change. It required a lot of tough decisions to be made," Malloy said. "Along the way, I have to admit, it ruffled a lot of feathers. That's because change is hard."
He continued: "But change is also necessary. While the world changed, and the states around us changed, Connecticut failed to make the changes it needed to. Now thanks to the men and women in this chamber, that is no longer the case."
The governor did not say much about his near-term future agenda, but did call for additional efficiencies in state government and a continued conversion to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
"There's been a lot done in this short session," Sen. Eileen Daily, D-Westbrook, said earlier in the day.
Some of the biggest legislation included:
Sunday sales: The General Assembly lifted the 1933 ban on Sunday retail sales of alcohol. Once the governor signs the bill into law, package stores and groceries will gain the option of selling alcohol from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays and on many holidays.
Malloy said the change will make Connecticut stores more competitive with neighboring states. But lawmakers drastically scaled back his plans to overhaul the minimum pricing system and store ownership restrictions in existing liquor laws.
Education: The legislature passed an extensive education bill, championed by the governor, that adds $100 million in additional funding for public schools and starts several new programs, including intensive reading instruction in early grade levels. The bill also changes the K-12 teacher tenure system, requiring annual performance evaluations that will be tied to an educator's employment status. It establishes a turnaround program for the state's lowest-performing schools.
Election law: Legislators approved a bill allowing Election Day voter registration across Connecticut, starting with the fall 2013 municipal election. The current registration deadline is seven days prior to an election. The same bill creates a future online registration system.
Medical marijuana: Legislation allows patients with certain debilitating health conditions such as cancer, glaucoma and AIDS to receive doctor prescriptions for medical marijuana. The state Department of Consumer Protection will begin regulating the drug, and only pharmacists will be able to dispense it from a set number of approved "dispensaries." The marijuana must only be produced by licensed, in-state growers.
Death penalty: A prospective law abolishes capital punishment in Connecticut for all but the 11 men already on death row. Future offenders convicted of "murder with special circumstances" will instead face life imprisonment without parole. Opponents of the repeal questioned whether the future crimes-only provision can withstand court challenges from death row inmates hoping to dodge execution.
Budget adjustments: Lawmakers OK'ed a $20.5 billion midterm budget deal with the Malloy administration that also closes a projected $200 million deficit in the current fiscal year ending June 30. The adjustment plan, which doesn't raise taxes, makes up for smaller-than-projected tax revenues and additional education spending through various budget cuts, including reductions to higher education and the state's marketing efforts. It also delays plans for a $75 million payment to continue the state's conversion to more transparent accounting methods.
"Municipal aid was essentially held harmless, so we didn't balance the budget on the backs of cities and towns," state Rep. Tom Reynolds, D-Ledyard, said.
Unionization: Both chambers approved legislation that gives collective bargaining rights to thousands of home care assistants and child care workers who are paid through state programs.
But many bills did not make it through both legislative chambers, notably a bill that would have raised the state's $8.25-an-hour minimum wage by 50 cents over two years.
"We just simply have not had the votes to pass it," Senate President Pro Tem Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn, said this week.
"The basis of the opposition has almost uniformly been timing," he said. "When we have increased the minimum wage in years past, it's almost always been in good economic times or in times when the state of Connecticut has fallen behind surrounding states.
"What we have now are pretty challenging economic times, with employers struggling, and the fact (is) that Connecticut's minimum wage is higher than New York, it's higher than Massachusetts, it's higher than Rhode Island."
Other bills that failed included: Senate Democrats' jobs bill; legislation authorizing tolls on the future second-half of Route 11, red light traffic enforcement cameras in large Connecticut cities and legalization of mixed martial arts.
In the final minutes Wednesday, the General Assembly voted to convene a special session later on to implement parts of the state budget.
From Sunday alcohol sales to abolishing the death penalty
This was a year that saw an amazing amount of legislation:
Sunday sales
• Lifted the 1933 ban on Sunday retail sales of alcohol. Gave package stores and groceries the option of selling alcohol from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays, including many holidays.
Passed an extensive education bill, championed by the governor, that:
• Added $100 million for public schools.
• Started several new programs, including intensive reading instruction in early grade levels.
• Changed K-12 teacher tenure system, requiring annual performance evaluations tied to educator's employment status,
• Established a turnaround program for the state's lowest-performing schools.
Election law
• Approved Election Day voter registration, starting with the fall 2013 municipal elections.
• Created a future online voter registration system.
Medical marijuana
• Allowed patients with certain debilitating health conditions such as cancer, glaucoma and AIDS to receive doctor prescriptions for medial marijuana.
• Designated state Department of Consumer Protection to regulate marijuana and designated only pharmacists to dispense it from a set number of approved "dispensaries."
• Limited marijuana production to only licensed, in-state growers.
Death penalty
• Abolishes capital punishment for all but the 11 men now on the state's death row.
• Established life imprisonment without parole for future offenders convicted of "murder with special circumstances."
Campaign finance
• Increase financial transparency in state political campaigns by requiring corporations and other groups that spend money or run ads for candidates to identify donors. (The governor has yet to say whether he'll sign this bill.)
Storm Response
• Passed initiatives aimed at preventing lengthy utility outages seen after Tropical Storm Irene and the October snowstorm, including creating performance benchmarks for utility companies and penalties for nonperformance.
State budget
• Approved $20.5 billion midterm budget deal with the Malloy administration that closes projected $200 million deficit in the current fiscal year ending June 30.
• Compensated for smaller-than-projected tax revenues and new education funds by making cuts, including to higher education and the state's marketing efforts.
But many bills did not make it through both legislative chambers, including:
Minimum wage: Bill would have raised the state's $8.25 an hour minimum wage by 50 cents over two years.
Route 11 tolls: Legislation would have authorized tolls on the future second-half of Route 11.
Traffic cameras: Bill would have authorized red light traffic enforcement cameras in large cities.
MMA: Bill would have legalized of mixed martial arts

Culture- ART FEATURE-
The latest Back Gallery exhibit at the Virginia Discovery Museum is not what people expect to find in a children's museum. In fact, the folks at the Smithsonian Institution, who created New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music as part of their Traveling Exhibition Service, wouldn't even consider VDM as a venue for a long time. The core exhibit is, after all, designed to educate adults about America's musical heritage, with lots of words on portable partitions positioned at a grown-up's eye level.
But VDM director Peppy Linden wouldn't take no for an answer. "We have such a rich musical community here in Charlottesville," she says. "And we knew our staff could create hands-on features that would speak to kids. We just knew it would work."
Linden's persistence paid off. The exhibit, accompanied by a plethora of live performances at venues all over town, does indeed work— for kids of all ages.
The exhibit itself offers a variety of ways to explore the music. While parents and older kids peruse the maze of partitions bearing images of musical giants such as blues guitarist B.B. King, folk singer Bob Dylan, and the queen of gospel, Mahalia Jackson, wee ones go right to the heart— or maybe it's the soul— of the exhibit. They run right through that maze (which is all part of the fun) to find the prize in the far corner: a mock-up of a rural front porch. They sit right down, pick up the guitar lying next to the rocker, and start making their own music.
Another chair holds a child-sized accordion. In the corner is a mandolin. There are spoons to play, a washboard, a big old jug– all real instruments that real people once used to create the musical roots of modern blues, country, bluegrass, and more.
Around another corner is a radio studio where budding artists can step up to the microphone— just like, say, Loretta Lynn at the Grand Ole Opry— and hear their performance on the old-fashioned radio. Costumes are also available, so performers can take the stage in style.
The front porch and the radio studio are among the locally created interactive elements augmenting the Smithsonian's beautifully presented and informative displays that include sacred songs, blues and country, folk revival music, and ethnic dance traditions.
But it's the sound that makes music, after all, and there's plenty of it. Press a button to hear the celebration of the spiritual, the down and out of the Delta Blues, the kick-up-your-heels of a Klezmer clarinet. The best part, though, is the live performances— 17 of them over the exhibit's six-week stint— by both local and legendary artists that let kids young and not-so-young really get to know their roots.
A full calendar of New Harmonies performances can be found in The Hook's Culture section under Kids and Music. The New Harmonies exhibit is at the Virginia Discovery Museum now through December 4. Museum admission $4/members free. East end of the Downtown Mall. 977-1025.

Prison Planet
Tuesday, September 9, 2008
The much vaunted liquid bomb "terror plot" that provoked paranoid airport security measures, an overnight change in baggage procedures, and at one point led to mothers having to drink their own breast milk, completely collapsed yesterday in court after the alleged ringleader was completely acquitted and none of the other suspects were charged with conspiracy to blow up an airliner.
"Seven men admitted plotting to cause a public nuisance. An eighth man was cleared at Woolwich Crown Court," reports the BBC.
"But after more than 50 hours of deliberations, the jury did not find any of the defendants guilty of conspiring to target aircraft."
"Mohammad Gulzar, 27, who Scotland Yard accused of being a ringleader in the plot, was cleared of all offenses," adds the Register.
Despite the fact that all the suspects were cleared of charges of targeting aircraft, some quarters of the media are still bizarrely citing the verdicts as a reason to continue the inane and pointless restrictions on liquids in carry-on luggage.
Numerous airliners as well as Britain's largest airport owner are now calling on the government to repeal the measures.
"We would expect the government to review its security regulations following the outcome of this case," said Roger Wiltshire, chief executive of the British Air Transport Association, whose members include BA and Virgin, reports the Guardian.
BAA, the owner of Britain's top three airports, including Heathrow, said: "Today's verdict seems like a good opportunity for the government to consider the security measures currently in place at British airports."
Whether the government will cave in to pressure and reverse their much cherished behavior compliance airport security measures remains to be seen, but the fact that the "liquid terror plot" was a complete fabrication became apparent from the very start.
In every single major terror bust or terror alert we have proven the evidence to be flawed and the charges to be cooked up nonsense aimed at prolonging the illusion that terror cells are lurking around every corner waiting to cause mayhem. The geopolitical agenda of the U.S., Britain and Israel depends on the proliferation phony terror threats in order to continue the farcical war on terror and take more of our innate freedoms at home to stifle dissent against the plot for worldwide hegemony.
In a series of reports following the August 10th scare, we traced the source of the alleged attack plot to Pakistani and British intelligence and were rapidly able to confirm that the story was nothing more than a manufactured ploy to frighten travelers at the height of the holiday season.
The reason being cited for the failure to convict the suspects of being behind a plot to blow up airliners is that the U.S. government wanted the men apprehended before MI5 were able to collect all the evidence against them.
In reality, as we reported at the time, an MI5 spy had infiltrated the group at an early stage which is often the case when agent provocateurs are attempting to radicalize a group and provoke them into committing acts of violence.
The announcement of the foiled plot was made on August 10th, but officials stated that they wanted to wait at least another week before busting the group, meaning August 17th or thereafter. According to the very timescale of the plot put forward by authorities, the attack was scheduled for August 16th, meaning authorities only wanted to bust the group after the attack had taken place.
Evidence that the suspects identified were mere patsies in a wider conspiracy became clear when it emerged that they didn't even have passports and could not have boarded a transatlantic plane.
Echoing the activities of the 7/7 bombers, some of the main suspects in the case exhibited behavior that in no way suggested they were preparing to launch mid-air suicide attacks on jumbo jets. Far from preparing his last will and testament, psyching himself up for his imminent death or acquiring the necessary materials to conduct the operation, Tayib Rauf was caught on CCTV hours before the launch of the plot doing something far more mundane – he was buying cakes for his father's confectionary business.
Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray slammed the so-called foiled plot story as "propaganda" on behalf of Bush and Blair who yearn for a "new 9/11" to reinvigorate their flagging support base.
"None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many did not even have passports, which given the efficiency of the UK Passport Agency would mean they couldn't be a plane bomber for quite some time," said Murray.
The embarrassing collapse of another government-concocted terror fairytale should immediately mandate the repeal of ridiculous measures in airports that do nothing to stop would-be terrorists and everything to hassle and inconvenience innocent travelers – but don't expect the authorities to give up a key aspect of their prototype police state without a fight.

Intel® Architecture Leads the Microarchitecture Innovation Field
Always Doing More with Less
Advancements in microarchitecture facilitate the creation of smaller, higher-performing devices. They're also the driving force behind Intel's business model and success. Through a commitment to smart design and intelligent process technology, Intel continues to lead the industry toward ever-smaller transistors, resulting in more energy-efficient, higher-performing processor cores.
What is Microarchitecture?
Microarchitecture is a blueprint of chip elements. This blueprint, when combined with advanced nanotechnology, enables computing devices to be more capable and energy efficient. Intel's microarchitecture team continues to make giant leaps in innovation and has recently introduced the world's first 3D transistors manufactured at 22 nm.
Discover the Latest
Discover the benefits of the new Intel® microarchitecture, supporting faster and smaller platforms, better HD graphics, more security, faster response, and better mobility with automatic wireless connections.
3D, 22-Nanometer Microarchitecture Development
Driven by Moore's Law and the Tick-Tock model, Intel has continued its historic accomplishments in the microarchitecture field by successfully testing the first 3D 22 nm transistor and by developing next-generation 14 nm technologies.
Introduced in 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors, the Intel® 3D, 22 nm microarchitecture marks a turning point in the fundamental structure of the computer chip. Until now, transistors were 2D (planar) devices. The Intel® 3D tri-gate transistor uses three gates wrapped around the silicon channel in a 3D structure, enabling an unprecedented combination of powerful performance and ultra-low power consumption.
This new technology enables Intel to create ever more powerful microprocessors with higher performance, longer battery life at lower costs, and smaller form factor devices such as the Ultrabook™.
Intel® Atom™ Processor Microarchitecture
Continued innovations in microarchitecture have powered the Intel® Atom™ processor, the smallest and most versatile processor in the Intel family. The Intel® Atom™ processor enables a broad range of companion devices, including netbooks, tablets, handhelds, smartphones, Smart TVs, Intelligent Systems, and consumer electronics, providing smaller devices with unparalleled audio and video performance.
Intel® Many Integrated Core Architecture
Intel® Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel® MIC Architecture) is the latest advance in supercomputing speed, performance, and compatibility, offering up to a teraflop of peak floating-point performance on a single chip. Intel® MIC Architecture employs a high degree of parallel processing and targets the high performance computing (HPC) market, which relies on parallel processing to create climate simulations, financial models, genetic analysis, and medical images, among other things.

Written By: NM State Athletic Dept.
SAN JOSE, CA - The five-game winning streak and season came to end for the New Mexico State men's basketball team in an NCAA Tournament second-round game. Atlantic-10 champion and No. 4 seeded Saint Louis proved too much for the WAC Tournament champion and No. 13 seed Aggies, who were saddled with a 64-44 defeat in the Midwest Region contest.
"I told the guys, as the days go by the pain subsides," NM State coach Marvin Menzies said. "They'll be able to handle it and hold their heads up high. They're WAC champions.
"We just got beat. We got beat by a better team, a team with more experience. That's just the way it went."
Despite a sluggish offensive first half and facing a 13-point halftime deficit, NM State (24-11) still showed some life early in the second half. Saint Louis swingman Dwayne Evans dropped in a layup four minutes into the second half that gave SLU a 37-23 lead, but the Aggies had plenty of fight left.
An 8-0 Aggies' outburst was capped by a Remi Barry 3-pointer with 13:53 left in the game. That trimmed the Billikens lead to 37-31. The tournament foes traded the next two buckets to a 39-33 score.
That's when the tide turned against NM State. Saint Louis (28-6) scored 12 of the next 15 points, forging ahead 49-34 with nine-plus minutes remaining in the tournament tilt.
NM State stopped the bleeding briefly. It kept the margin to 14, trailing 53-39 with seven minutes to go.
Unfortunately for NM State, it could get no closer the rest of the way. Saint Louis scored the next seven points to push its lead to 60-39. That was the largest lead the Billikens got.
NM State outscored Saint Louis 5-4 through the final four minutes of the game, for the final 20-point difference.
The 44 points was a season-low for NM State as was its 27.9 shooting percentage (17-of-61). Additionally, the Aggies made just 2-of-16 3-point tries.
"We missed a lot of shots," Menzies said. "And those were shots we usually make. It just wasn't meant to be."
Still, Bandja Sy was an offensive bright spot for NM State. He finished with a team-high 17 points. Unfortunately for NM State, no other player had more than six in the scoring column.
"Part of it is on us," Sy said. "Their guards got into us, and they're a good defensive team."
Evans posted 24 points for Saint Louis, which has won 15 of its last 16 games, to lead all scorers.
The first half was a rough one for NM State. The Aggies managed just four points through the first 9:17 of the game. Daniel Mullings got a runner to fall for the Aggies at the 10:43 mark of the first half. That bucket pulled the Aggies within five, 11-6.
The two teams traded buckets, leaving the NM State crew down 13-8 with just under nine minutes to go in the first half.
Saint Louis started to take control from there. The Billikens ripped off an 11-4 run in the next three minutes, a stretch capped by a Cory Remekun dunk, extending the SLU lead to 24-10.
Saint Louis got a 3-pointer from Cody Ellis with 51 seconds to go before halftime. The 15-point margin was the widest of the first half but the Aggies got a runner from Terrel de Rouen with 30 seconds still left before the break, leaving the scoreboard to read 29-16 at the half.
NM State struggled in the first 20 minutes thanks to a combination of solid Saint Louis defense and porous shooting. The Aggies made just 8-of-31 shots in the first half (25.8 percent), none from beyond the arc. Saint Louis wasn't considerably better. It made just 11-of-28 first-half field-goal attempts, but three of those were treys, and the Billikens also made good on 4-of-5 free throws, four more than NM State, to help account for the 13-point halftime gap.
"I thought we could've been a little more patient early in possessions to get guys more touches," Menzies said. "I didn't think we handled their pressure real well from the guard position. But we've got two sophomore point guards, who didn't play at all last year, for all intents and purposes. But they'll get better."
NM State had a tough time stopping Evans in the first half as he made 7-of-11 shots and had 16 first-half points.

I see with disappointment that the forum is not frequented as much as the last few months.
Now the beta has finalised and been released it must be an excellent software now with no bug reports.
Is there any new plans for the future regarding the different versions? will there be a new version soon?
a roadmap maybe?
