Modern technology has changed the way people live, how they use their leisure time, and how they communicate with each other. Not surprisingly, it also had a huge impact on the methods used for gambling and placing bets. Everyone can now gamble from their home through a myriad of gambling websites and applications that they can visit through their computer or mobile phones.
Due to these technological advancements, the gambling industry has started to earn much more profit than it did before. Gambling companies that welcomed this change also experienced a huge growth in their client base, which in turn increased their annual business revenue.
Coming to Terms with Mobile Betting
In 2010, Ireland's largest and most successful bookmarker reported that 55% of their regular clients already own a smartphone. The company also mentioned that almost 33% of their customers get access to their services through their mobile phones. In 2011, its mobile users increased to 120,000 due to the development of advanced gambling apps for iPhones, tablet computers, and Android phones.
Betfair, another company that offers online betting services, also prospered from mobile use in the past year. Over 160,000 of its customers placed their bets from their mobile phones, and their annual revenue increased by 88% in the same financial year. These figures suggest that the development of new figures for betting is directly related to the explosive growth of online gambling.
The Beauty of Mobile Betting
While betting at land-based casinos is not legal in some countries, just about all countries allow individuals above eighteen years of age to place bets in gambling websites. From poker to roulette and other casino games, gambling websites can provide you with an impressive simulation of a real-life casino. Most of them also offer welcome bonuses and other promos that land-based casinos fail to offer.
As technology continues to evolve, people can expect to witness changes in the way they satisfy their urge to take risks through gambling. The sharp growth of online gambling is indeed inevitable now that speedy and user-friendly gambling applications are already available to the public.

Israel: Iran stepping up efforts to recruit spies
Israel's Shin Bet security agency has questioned an Israeli of Iranian origin suspected of agreeing to spy for Tehran, officials said Tuesday, accusing the Iranians of stepping up its efforts to recruit visiting Israelis.
Many Israelis have relatives in Iran and before Ayatollah Khomeini's 1979 Islamic revolution, ties between the two countries were warm. According to Israel Army Radio, some 100 Israelis have visited Iran over the past two years.
According to the AP, the Israeli security officials said most of the recent Iranian attempts to recruit Israelis took place at Iran's consulate in Istanbul. The city is a stopover for Israelis of Iranian origin seeking to obtain an Iranian passport to visit their relatives. Iran does not allow entry on an Israeli passport, the officials said.
Israeli Army Radio cited a senior Shin Bet officer as saying his agency uncovered 10 such attempts during the past two years. It said passport applicants at the Istanbul consulate were quizzed about their Israeli military service and about the general economic and security climate in Israel.
Haaretz daily said the man detained for questioning by the Shin Bet was picked up on his return to Israel and told his interrogators that Iranian agents had asked him to recruit, in turn, a relative who had previously worked for the Israeli security services.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A suburban Milwaukee school district has Wisconsin's highest scores on the ACT college entrance exam.
Whitefish Bay students averaged 26 of a possible 36 on the general knowledge test.
The "Whitefish Bay Now" Web site says it's the 15th straight year that local students averaged 25 or more on the ACT.
Interim Superintendent Laura Myrah said she knows of no other Wisconsin school system with such a long record of excellence. She credits it to the dedication shows by students, parents, and Whitefish Bay school staff.
We learned last week that Wisconsin as a whole averaged 22.1 on the ACT – same as a year ago, and tied with Iowa for the second-highest state score in the nation, behind neighboring Minnesota.

North Holland is a wonderful, traditional province of the Netherlands, whose capital is Haarlem. Amsterdam, the countries capital and Holland's most famous tourist destination is found in North Holland, and more than half of the area is actually below sea level! North Holland is a defined province of the Netherlands, not to be confused with the area of the Northern Netherlands which includes North Holland, Friesland, Groningen and Drente.
The northern region of North Holland is an area of amazing scenery, with intertwined stretches of land and water market by delightful little towns and villages which delight visitors with their relaxed yet vibrant atmospheres and unchanged, traditional architecture. The larger cities are filled with fascinating attractions, from the huge cheese market in Alkamaar, Holland's' cheese capital to the ancient harbour of Hoorn.
There are huge swathes of delightful sandy beaches all around North Holland, from which sailing, fishing, walking and kite surfing can be practiced with ease. There are many excellent beach resorts in North Holland, from the activity centres on Texel Island to the oldest Dutch nude beach in Callantsoog.
Cycling holidays in North Holland also thrive, with cycling routes throughout the area crossing dykes and following barge routes across waterways. Taking a bicycle through the open air Zuiderzee Museum, a working traditional village where you can see traditionally clothed Dutch craftsmen working authentically and living in the traditional way is an unrivalled experience.
Located on the reclaimed Koegraspolder, Julianadorp aa Zee is a favourite beach destination in North Holland. It is blessed with beautiful, wide sandy beaches which remain quiet and relaxing even during the height of the summer. A North Holland property in Julianadorp aa Zee is a great place to explore the natural environment, walk and ride along the beach. The beaches here have all been awarded the European Blue flag for cleanliness and safety.
Texel Island is the largest of the Wadden Islands in North Holland, connected to the mainland by hourly ferries. Due to many centuries of isolation, Texel Island has a wonderfully unique culture and appearance, with excellent shopping and wonderful wildlife, from bird life to seals. Texel Island has many fine beach resorts, the best of which is De Koog, where you can enjoy windsurfing, canoeing, sailing, cycling and sky diving.
Amsterdam is the most famous place to take holiday accommodation in North Holland. People have been flocking to the city for its amazing mix of culture and nightlife, with many excellent museums and attractions found throughout the city.
The climate of North Holland is very similar to that of the UK, with four distinct seasons and average temperatures ranging from 2°C in January to 17°C in July.
North Holland is particularly well serviced by Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS), which receives frequent flights from almost anywhere in the UK. There are many airlines which provide cheap flights to North Holland, and reaching your North Holland holiday property should be remarkably easy from wherever you live in the UK.

Will time ever come to an end?
I have been reading a few different articles discussing the "end of time". They mostly talk about how modern physics suggests that at a certain point, all activity in the universe will cease, and there will be no renewal or recovery. My question is basically asking, if this were to happen, wouldn't time theoretically continue? Is time only a measurement of activity, or can it exist without any interaction of matter?
Here are some of the articles I have read:
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 5 2012: Time requires mass, or perhaps the gravitational force produced by mass. I don't think we really know what gravity is; however logic would dictate that it requires energy. At the death of the universe all energy is exhausted, so it seems logical that tIme would cease.
That said :-
Revelation 21:1 (KJV)
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Looks like things will wind up a bit earlier than that.
Nov 5 2012: yeah, but what is the connection? creating and slowing down are two very different things.
there is a class of solutions to the einstein equations called vacuum solutions. it basically means that there is no mass involved. these solutions of course does not describe our real world, but they can quite well describe a space far away from any matter, like a small patch in the middle of the intergalactic nothingness. in these solutions, of course there is the usual space-time, as we know it. in fact, it is more like we know it, has less weird properties.
but this is about general relativity. it is just a model, and we know it is not perfect. what about quantum theories? most of them don't describe mass at all. yet, they all have a concept of time. and even those that attempts to explain gravity, don't rely on gravity. gravity is something that is either present or not present at a certain location. you can imagine worlds without mass at all. but time is always a part of these models.
in fact, we don't have any models in physics that does not have an ever present time parameter.
but we are still talking about models. the OP asked about reality. so the correct answer would be: our theories have different concept of time. but we don't yet know which of them, if any, is an accurate representation of reality.

- Fresh snow and freezing temperatures over night.
- More school closures and bus disruption.
- Latest travel information: http://www.kidderminstershuttle.co.uk/li/traffic_and_travel.in.Kidderminster/
GRITTING teams are heading out again this afternoon, evening and overnight.
Worcestershire County Council said a fleet of 31 gritters had already started hitting the county's secondary routes from 1.30pm today and will head out on primary routes from 6pm.
Winter service inspections will take place in the early hours of Thursday morning to assess the weather and road conditions throughout Worcestershire.
Latest MET Office forecasts suggest that snow showers will continue to hit areas of the region for the remainder of today, many of which will be light while others have the potential to be heavier, resulting in a couple of centimetres accumulating on the ground.
The last of the snow is predicted to fizzle out this evening, followed by a dry and cold night with a hard frost persisting until at least midnight on Friday.
Our teams are out refilling grit bins across the county as fast as we can #grittertwitter #wmgrit More on grit bins: http://t.co/PRXurPu5— @worcscc 23 January 2013
Bus service disruption:
758 (Worcester – Hallow – Great Witley – Tenbury Wells) : This service will run a main road route only, omitting Frith Common and Menithwood on the school journey.

Advice from Safer Roads Partnership, many main routes are clear, roads remain icy in places & may still be v. slippery. http://t.co/UmYkFkVS— @worcscc 21 January 2013
Worcestershire County Council says "no more significant snow is forecast but gritting teams still working hard with sub-zero temperatures continuing".
The council says its crews rolled out from depots again at 1pm this afternoon and all designated routes will be treated by this evening.
"Vehicles out and about in the north of the county will have ploughs fitted this afternoon to clear away any snow/slush still on roads following short flurries of snow earlier this morning," added the council spokesman.
"Forecasts show the possibility of snow flurries tomorrow morning, however it's thought that if this does happen amounts should be small."
Jon Fraser, county council highways customer and community manager, said: "Forecasts aren't predicting heavy snow like we experienced on Friday and over the weekend. However, temperatures on roads will dip to as low -5 overnight. That brings the real risk of ice.
"As ever, we'd urge people to take care if they are driving."
Snow clearance and gritting continuing today by WCC and WFDC staff ...... cold weather it seems will be with us for a while— @JohnPaulCampion 21 January 2013

All day care services are cancelled tomorrow. Affected residents are being contacted.
With most of the county experiencing further flurries of snowfall today gritters will be out and about again this afternoon and this evening treating designated routes across Worcestershire and trying to minimise the impact on motorists tomorrow morning.
While all primary and secondary routes across the county have been treated numerous times over the past few days, the additional snowfall and freezing temperatures are likely to create further ice and make conditions treacherous in places.
Motorists are once again being urged to drive with caution and never to assume it's safe to travel at normal speeds, even if they believe roads have been treated with grit.
Residents are also advised that the
Worcestershire Hub Contact Centre will be opening at the earlier time of 6:30am (instead of 8am) tomorrow morning (Monday January 21) to support residents seeking information about possible service disruptions. The phone number to call is 01905 765765.
Information about service disruptions, including school closures and bus service cancellations, is also be available online at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/emergencyalerts
Jon Fraser, County Council Highways Customer and Community Manager, said: "With residents returning to work tomorrow and parents taking children to school, we know it will be back to a usual busy Monday morning on the roads.
"In preparation for this, our gritting crews will be treating designated routes around the county today to make travel conditions as safe as possible tomorrow.
"While we are doing all we can to deal with the current conditions, we'd also advise residents to make sure they drive with extra care and to consider allowing additional time for their journey in the morning."
Gritting teams will be heading out again soon.

Gritters will be out from 6pm.
To help people travelling during the current weather conditions, Wrcestershire County Council has put together a number of tips have been put together. These include:
Maintenance checks
Before you set off on your journey, do you have:
• Anti-freeze in your cooling system?
• Screen wash additive in your windscreen washers?
• At least 1.6mm depth of tread and the correct air pressures in your tyres?
• Clean lenses on your headlights?
• Properly working heaters and demisters?
Making journeys
Planning your journey is vitally important in adverse conditions. Taking the following steps before you leave could prevent problems out on the roads:
• Check the local weather forecast.
• Check the driving conditions on your route with your local radio station.
• Take extra equipment with you, e.g. mobile phone, spade, towrope, torch, flask, warm and highly visible clothing and spare pieces of old carpet to place under your wheels for traction in case you get stuck in snow
• Make sure someone at your destination is expecting you at a certain time.
Adjust your driving to the conditions
Driving on ice or snow needs extra care:
• Use dipped headlights and drive more slowly than usual.
• Allow up to ten times your normal stopping distance.
• Keep your distance from vehicles ahead of you.
• To avoid skidding, brake very gently or ease off the accelerator early.
• If you have to abandon your vehicle try not to block the road; snow-ploughs, gritters and emergency vehicles may need to come past.
• Keep windscreens clean.
Gritters will be heading out in force again early this evening to cover designated routes across Worcestershire.
No further significant accumulations of snow are forecast today but due to the wind chill, temperatures as low as -6 are expected overnight across Worcestershire.
This will turn existing snow and slush into ice and create potentially treacherous conditions.
Motorists are once again being urged to drive with caution and never to assume it's safe to travel at normal speeds, even if they believe roads have been treated with grit.
Beyond the weekend, colder conditions look likely to persist.
The longer term forecast remains uncertain but there is the possibility of further snow at times.
For the most accurate and up to date weather information, residents are advised to check the Met Office website.
Jon Fraser, Worcestershire County Council Highways cand community manager, said: "Our gritting crews have been working non-stop around the clock since Thursday evening to treat and re-treat around 800 miles of designated primary and secondary routes across the county.
" With conditions now more settled, we will be returning to our usual gritting routine for the time-being. This involves gritting designated routes during the evening while they remain treacherous.
"While light flurries of snow may take place during the rest of the weekend, possibly creating an additional few centimetres in places on Sunday, we are not anticipating any further large volumes.
"The main issue for us will be the effect of below freezing temperatures which, particularly with the current wind chill, will create icy conditions on roads this evening.
"As ever, we'd urge motorists to take care when they are out and about on the roads. Always temper driving and respect the conditions. We will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate action to keep motorists as safe as possible."

Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service is warning people of frozen water when out and about.
Station commander Alan Haley from HWFRS's community safety department said: "With temperatures at or below freezing and set to remain low into next week, many of the lakes, ponds and canals across the two counties will be frozen, and we want to make sure people stay alert to the dangers this presents."
He explained even with prolonged cold spells, the thickness of the ice layer can vary considerably, and is unlikely to be strong enough to hold a person's weight safely.

The Canal & River Trust – the new charity responsible for the nation's waterways - is asking people who enjoy its towpaths to take extra care as the snow and icy weather descends on Worcestershire and Herefordshire.
Towpaths, bridges and lock-sides can become slippery at this time of year and snow can conceal boat mooring rings and ropes which, unless people are paying attention, can be easy to trip over.
While frozen canals look beautiful no-one should ever attempt to walk on or test the thickness of the ice.
Families should make sure that young children are kept within sight and made aware of the importance of staying away from the edge.
Dog walkers are advised to keep dogs on leads during a freeze, and never follow their animal on to the ice.
Nick Worthington, waterway manager at the Canal & River Trust, explained: "Canals and rivers remain popular throughout the winter months when they provide a frosty escape for walkers, cyclists, anglers and joggers. However, it can be easy for people to forget the potential dangers that icy towpaths and waterways can present.
"It's important that people take care whilst enjoying the waterways this winter, wear appropriate footwear and stay away from the edge. There is no reason why everyone can't enjoy the picture-postcard beauty of their local waterway in safety this winter."

Firefighters are encouraging people to follow some simple advice to ensure they stay safe during the cold spell and snow fall.
Station Commander Alan Haley from the Community Safety department at Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) said: "With temperatures expected to remain low over the next few days, a few simple precautions could make a real difference.
Please take a moment to think about our advice and establish if there are some steps you can take.
"Our firefighters are prepared for the potential of heavy snow fall and anyone in an emergency situation should still call 999."
• If the weather is prolonged please look out for vulnerable relatives and neighbours
• Last year HWFRS attended over 200 chimney fires so when using open fires or wood burners please be extra vigilant due to their prolonged use and ensure that you are only using the correct fuel
• All the emergency services are anticipating increased activity so please be mindful to only request our attendance if it's a real emergency. In spite of dangerous road conditions fire crews will still attend
• Ponds, lakes and canals may freeze over and look safe to walk on but these are extremely hazardous, please stay away. If you see somebody in difficulty the best way you can help them is to call 999
• Double check that pipes and tanks are suitably insulated to avoid the risk of them freezing and bursting during these icy conditions.
• Please only make essential journeys if the weather and road conditions are poor.
"Please remember to listen to road and weather updates on local radio stations and on local media websites. This information can be invaluable when the two counties are affected by heavy snow."

After bottoming out in 2010-11 following the departure of LeBron James, the Cavaliers showed some improvement last season, winning two more games despite playing in 22 fewer contests as a result of the lockout.
Kyrie Irving lived up to his billing as the top overall pick, claiming Rookie of the Year honours.
Things were far from perfect however, as fellow top-five pick Tristan Thompson had an up-and-down season and the rest of the team showed its youth, finishing 14 games out of a playoff spot.
Analysis: A gifted natural scorer with excellent ball-handling ability, Waiters offensive upside allowed him to climb into the top-five in the draft. If he is able to improve his jump-shot, the undersized guard will be a dangerous contributor at the next level.
Analysis: The fourth Tar Heel selected in the first round of the draft, the seven-footer runs the floor well and has nice touch around the basket, but is not overly athletic and needs to get stronger.
The Cavs are expecting more big things from reigning rookie of the year Kyrie Irving in year two.
Dynamic Backcourt - Knowing they already had one potential superstar in their backcourt, Cleveland surprised some experts by taking Waiters with their fourth overall pick. The Syracuse product has big time athleticism and scoring ability, but has a lot of work to do to round out his game. Pairing him with the dynamic Irving should only help his development and if anything, makes the Cavs a downright scary transition team right away. With Irving already looking like a potential star, Cleveland will be set for a long time at the guard position if Waiters can develop in a similar way.
Offence - It would not be much of an exaggeration to say the Cavaliers were a one-player half-court offense last season. Besides Irving, Cleveland had almost no one else who was able to score on a consistent basis. When healthy, Antawn Jamison was an option, but he signed with the Lakers in the off-season. C.J. Miles and rookie Zeller may help the cause somewhat, but they are role players at this point. So unless Waiters and Thompson are able to show significant improvement in their shooting abilities, the offense will again be almost totally reliant upon Irving.
Get ready for the season with the latest from TSN.ca.
Inexperience - With the exception of veteran Anderson Varejao, the Cavaliers starting five will feature three first or second year players, plus fourth year man Alonzo Gee. That type of inexperience typically leads to an abundance of mistakes, specifically on the defensive end. That was certainly true last season, as Cleveland finished 26th in the NBA in points allowed. And it was Irving's play on the defensive end that was particularly poor, as he ranked near the bottom of most defensive ratings. Being the team's best player, the Cavs will only show significant improvement going forward unless he is able to raise his game at that end of the floor.
X Factor: Tyler ZellerOne of the most productive players to ever put on a Tar Heels jersey, the 7-footer is not overly athletic, but has a well-rounded offensive game – something Cleveland is in dire need for from a big man. Pairing him with Thompson -- who can finish at the rim and rebound, but has serious issues shooting from outside the paint -- may be a recipe for success.
What to ExpectThe Cavaliers improved their winning percentage by nearly 100 points last season, so a similar increase should move them to at least within shouting distance of a playoff spot. Still, Cleveland is likely two or three years away from seriously challenging, but with the continued development of their young talent and another high pick in the draft, the franchise looks to be headed in the right direction.

The Cavs continued their slow crawl back to relevancy this summer by picking up Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller in the draft and watching Kyrie Irving stun the Team USA brass as a member of the Select Team.
They may not be racing ahead as an organization, but they are slowly acquiring the pieces that will put them back on the NBA map.
They have also maintained great cap flexibility, so that if a trade or signing presents itself that could fast-forward their rebuilding cycle they are in a good position to pull the trigger.

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 27, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- A brain region that is involved in decision-making has been pinpointed by researchers.
Their experiments with rats led them to the lateral habenula, which is one of the smallest parts of the brain and is known to be linked to depression and avoidance behaviors.
"These findings clarify the brain processes involved in the important decisions that we make on a daily basis, from choosing between job offers to deciding which house or car to buy," Stan Floresco, a professor in the department of psychology at the University of British Columbia, said in a university news release.
"It also suggests that the scientific community has misunderstood the true functioning of this mysterious, but important, region of the brain," added Floresco, who is also with the university's Brain Research Center.
The researchers trained lab rats to choose between receiving one food pellet on a regular basis or four food pellets less often. The rats tended to choose the four pellets when they didn't have to wait too long to receive them, but chose the single pellet if it took too long to receive the four pellets.
When the researchers turned off the rats' lateral habenula, the animals chose either food option at random. This showed they no longer had the ability to choose the best option, according to the study published Nov. 24 in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
The study authors suggested that their findings may prove important for treating people with depression.
"Deep brain stimulation -- which is thought to inactivate the lateral habenula -- has been reported to improve depressive symptoms in humans," Floresco said. "But our findings suggest these improvements may not be because patients feel happier. They may simply no longer care as much about what is making them feel depressed," he explained.
He also said that a better understanding of decision-making processes is crucial because impairments in these processes are associated with many mental health disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and substance abuse.
Experts note that results obtained in animal studies are not always replicated in humans.

The name Thanjavur is believed to have been derived from Tanjan, an asura in Hindu mythology, who is believed to have been killed at this spot by the Lord Vishnu. Also the name is believed to have been derived from Than-sei-oor, it means the place is surrounded by rivers and green paddy fields.
More to read on Thanjavur:
Thanjavur has been the capital of mighty Cholas for centuries. After Chola dynasty this place was occupied by Nayakas and after that Maratha took over the place and made as one of their main head quarters in southern region. The city is located on the southern bank of river Cauveri. The town is an important agricultural center located at the heart of the region, known as the "rice bowl of Tamil Nadu". Rice is transported throughout the country as well as exported else where. Thanjavur is an important center of South Indian art and architecture. Even today Thanjavur is not only considered as the rice bowl of Tamil nadu but also as a cultural head quarters.
Thanjavur's famous arts: Thanjavur district is famous for various arts and crafts like 'Thanjavur dancing doll' , 'Thanjavur paintings' and 'Thanjavur art plates'.
Carnatic music: Carnatic Music in Thanjavur represents the rich musical heritage of the ancient city of the state of Tamil Nadu, which was sung with the musical instruments Veenai and Thavil.
Thanjavur Painting: The paintings are done on wood, using a variety of colors, and to enhance the pictures, details of jewellery and clothing are added by attaching gold leaf, paper, semi-precious and precious gems. This school of paintings originated in Thanjavur during the reign of the Marathas in the 16th century. Today, this tradition is kept alive by a few hundred dedicated artists mostly based in Tamil Nadu, India. A typical Thanjavur painting would consist of one main figure, a deity, with a well-rounded body & almond shaped eyes. The early paintings were embedded with real Diamonds, Rubies and other precious stones. Later, use of semi-precious and artificial stones gained popularity. There are some examples of this art in the Palace Museum.
Thanjavur Art Plate: The creation of the Tanjore metal plate is credited to Raja Serfoji II (1797-1832), the Maratha ruler of Thanjavur, who asked his royal artisans to create an object that would reflect the glory of his kingdom. Silver, brass, and copper are encrusted on to each other to create this stunning piece of art. The effect of silver in high relief on the reddish copper ground is unusual and striking.Other specialties: Veenai (Veena) is played with great perfection by the highly talented artists of Thanjavur. Asoka halwa is one of the famous sweet in Thanjavur.
Nearest Airport: The nearest airport is at Trichy (65-km) to Thanjavur, is well connected with other parts of India and also well connected with international flights.
Railway Junction: There is a railway junction in Thanjavur. It is well linked with Trichy, Chennai, Madurai.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- All right, what was THAT?
The only winners Tuesday night in the state of Kentucky were the distilleries. The men's basketball teams at the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky were so bad that their fans were too bummed to fight, and it was too cold to find a bridge to jump off of.
It's been a long time since I saw that much bad offense from both on the same night.
UK fans could take some solace in that the team that beat the Wildcats, Alabama, was the better of the two winners. The Crimson Tide, which beat UK 59-55, thumped Villanova by 22 points back in November.
Villanova ran away from U of L down the stretch of a 73-64 victory in Philadelphia.
But there can be no gloating from UK. U of L's loss merely shuffled it back in the rankings a bit. UK's could be an NCAA Tournament trip killer if the Wildcats don't get things together soon. U of L's might've been the worse loss, but UK's was more costly.
Taking them one at a time:
LOUISVILLE, for a second straight game, had the lead and the momentum with 7:30 left in the contest. It had Syracuse down by 5 points when it caught a bad break and Russ Smith was called for a block that could've been a charge when Syracuse looked shaky on Saturday.
Regardless, the Cardinals got their lead, then went about five minutes without a field goal.
At Villanova, the Cards were up six with 7:30 to play, then didn't make another field goal for five minutes.
This time, the culprits were missed free throws. U of L went 12 of 24 in the game. It missed front-ends in the bonus. Chane Behanan went 3-for-9. He was so mind-blown by the free throw line that three passes Peyton Siva tried to feed him under the basket late all turned into turnovers because Behanan was in such a rush to get the ball to the rim.
Russ Smith had one of his poorer games. He was 1-for-10 from the field. He broke off the offense to freelance.
And the Cards' offensive ineptitude eventually spread to their defense.
U of L does not put a bunch of gifted offensive players out on the floor. They have been pretty good offensively this season because Smith and Siva have able to break defenses down and because they've gotten contributions from a variety of players -- and turned turnovers into better than 20 points per game.
At Villanova, there was no movement. There was no looking for the other guy (except by Siva, who finished with 11 assists and could've had five or six more if the Cardinal big men could've caught the ball cleanly.)
U of L coach Rick Pitino wasn't happy.
"We had control of game," Pitino said on his postgame radio show from Nelligan Sports. "And we missed some free throws, and sometimes you get what you deserve in life. We got what we deserved tonight. . . . Every free throw was a turnover. . . . Our free-throw shooting was despicable."
Pitino said he's disappointed that his power forward spot is shooting 55 percent from the free throw line, yet he doesn't see Behanan and Montrezl Harrell spending time on their own in the gym to correct it.
He didn't like any part of Dieng's game. Of Dieng, who was playing his first game without a hard cast after suffering a broken wrist, he said, "He should put the cast back on. . . . I don't know where Gorgui was tonight. He was like in Senegal in the first half. He didn't give us anything."
The Cards did get 17 points from Wayne Blackshear. But they also come home with a two-game losing streak and a noon game at Georgetown waiting on Saturday.
"We can't get too down," Pitino said. "At this point, we just need to throw the rankings out the window. We've just go to play ball, live for today and get better."
KENTUCKY has no ranking to forget about. But it did have some momentum coming into its game at Alabama, and the loss in Tuscaloosa was a step backward.
UK coach John Calipari has been preaching to individuals to "buy in" to his system. But his guards bought into something else at Alabama.
It wasn't just the bad shooting from the guards (9-for-32 from UK's starting guard trio), it was bad decisions. Archie Goodwin going one-on-one too often, not pulling up with a floater in the lane the way Calipari has worked with him in practice to do. Bad decisions at the point guard spot from Ryan Harrow.
"He didn't play his best game," Calipari said on his postgame show from the UK-IMG Sports Network.
UK had one 15-minute stretch in which it made only one field goal.
"You get to where you're at a loss as to the way some of these guys are playing," Calipari said.UK took a nine-point lead to the half, but did not respond well to more physical play from Alabama, and did not maintain defensive discipline in the second half, with Nerlens Noel and Alex Poythress leaving their feet late to allow for Alabama scores or free throws or offensive rebounds.The Wildcats got 14 points and 7 rebounds in 35 minutes from Kyle Wiltjer, but Julius Mays with 12 points was the only other UK player in double figures.
"We've got to go back and at some point it's got to be a total buy-in to how we're going to play and what we're going to do, and I'm going to play the way my team needs me to play and not the way I want to play. And until we get to this, we're going to have a lot of these right here."
WAIT, A WINNER. It should be noted, the No. 13-ranked U of L women held off a late rally from Marquette and got a fast-break layup from Monique Reid with seven seconds left to win 64-63.
And the No. 5 ranked UK women have won 17 straight and at last glance had an opposing coach complaining that they were running up the score by continuing to press when up by more than 40.
BUT FOR a season that began with U of L ranked No. 2 in the nation and UK No. 3, January hasn't shaped up like much so far.
There's plenty of time yet to make a move. U of L just needs to fix a few things to start moving forward again. UK, with young players, could have the light bulb go off at any time.But Tuesday night was sobering, no matter what your consolation beverage of choice.Copyright 2012 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

I listened.
Hope is something we hold in our hands.
Tender...hanging on to ponder this today- I feel this: Hope is something we hold in our hands...thanks, Laura. Powerfully and gently moving. Bless you in this...bless them in their loss.
Your ministry among that family is real, and sweet, and true. What a blessing that moment was. Thanks for sharing it with us, Laura.
Beautiful. What faith, what hope! May we all look forward to that dance. Blessings!
I have been there - had the family member - and it is sweet blessing when those that love God carefully listen and minister like that!
"Hope is something we hold in our hands." Beautiful, Laura. You're holding it, passing it on, sharing it with others. Thanks for sharing it with me.
these are the conversations that matter most ....
Thanks for sharing such a sweet meeting with all of us, Laura. I'm so glad you were there with him to encourage and be encouraged.
Entering into the dance, with every chance we get, this, sometimes, is the greatest challenge for me. Thanks for sharing this moment of beauty. Do you work as a chaplain, Laura?
How does this world live without the eternal hope of Jesus? His hope is enduring. His hope is the only hope with forever attached to it. Thank you for giving this hope to others. You're a beacon.
Your job is such a ministry, Laura.
Laura, this brings back memories of sitting with my parents and my aunt. Tender, sweet, and difficult. I'm grateful that they all knew Jesus. I was privileged to sit with them. I cannot imagine it being your work. Grateful to know that it's your call...the carrier of Hope. How blessed each one is for your ministry as they enter the valley of the shadow.
There is always, always mercy. There is always, always hope and joy ahead, even in those times and places we most fear and dread. "Save me a dance." Priceless.
Oh, this touched me deeply as we are dealing with a very sick loved one right now. Beautiful.
No words just tears! Much hope!
So powerful and moving
What a tender, sensitive telling of your presence --and Jesus' -- in another person's life. So many people would not be able to handle a job like yours. They wouldn't be sensitive enough, or aware enough, or comfortable enough -- or being around those near the end of life would be too distressing. So thankful, Laura, that God has placed you in this gentle ministry. He must be smiling at your willingness to pick up on the signs of concern and offer your compassion and his love.
Love ya, gal!
kingfisher's latest post is "Broken, Shines" at
I think, were I ever in that dear man's place, how filled with joy and hope I would feel in your presence. Your words flow from a compassionate heart Laura, and they minister in Jesus' name.
So beautiful, Laura! Praise God for our blessed hope! Thanks for hosting & God bless!
your writing, quiet really, seeps in and it's beautiful
It takes my breath away, this piece. Maybe because I imagine joy dancing with my grannie one day.
Bringing comfort is a ministry and you were the one that was needed. This is such a sweet post and you will be saving that dance!
This work you do, it's a sacred work. I'm gentled by your words, by just your presence on this page.
ohhh, Laura. What Sandy King said. This brought tears to my eyes.
Yes, this.
What a precious interchange. As Sandra said, you do have a sacred calling. God has given you a beautiful gift, Laura, one that not many have. It must make Him smile so to see you exercising it even when that brings tears. Well done, sister.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department is looking for help finding a man they say is a suspect in several cases.
Brandon Rode has been in and out of jail more than 35 times.
Rode is wanted on two warrants including domestic violence and is a suspect in numerous other crimes.
Deputies say he assaulted his live-in girlfriend back in January then broke the phone so she couldn't call for help.
He was arrested, then released. He never showed up for court.
Some of his previous arrests include assault, being caught with stolen property and drug charges.
After exhausting all their leads, the Pima County Sheriff's Department is desperate and pleading with the public to call in with tips.
"Obviously, he belongs to a group of people who just don't care." Sheriff's Dep. Tom Peine said. "Are we worried about that? Absolutely. Are we worried that this is someone we cannot locate? Yes, that is why we are reaching out and asking the public for help."
If you see Rode, do not approach him. Instead call 911 or 88-CRIME.
