Link: Over its first 36 years in print, only 3,000 copies of Moby Dick were sold.
"The one Melville resuscitation attempt that stuck was Carl Van Doren, a very influential American critic. And he, according to the legend, found a copy of Moby Dick in a used bookstore, went home, read it, was so blown away that this book had like completely vanished from – from literary consciousness, and he wrote an essay about it.
"D.H. Lawrence noticed that essay, E.M. Forster noticed that essay. And then in the teens and the twenties Moby Dick actually reentered American consciousness, and all of his books were brought back into print, in which they have stubbornly stuck since then."10 notes

Acumen Pakistan Portfolio Manager
Acumen Pakistan seeks an experienced Portfolio Manager to help build and manage our world-class investment portfolio of game-changing enterprises in Pakistan that impact the poor.
Acumen started as an idea. Twelve years later we have a proven model that combines the best of charity and investing to change the way the world tackles poverty.
Acumen is a non-profit venture fund with a vision to help build a world beyond poverty through investing in companies that deliver critical goods and services in water, health, housing, energy, agriculture, and education; leaders who are paving the way for new approaches to fighting poverty; and the spread of ideas that will give the world the knowledge and the understanding to change how the world tackles poverty.
Passion, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to tackling the issue of global poverty are just a few of the things that the staff at Acumen have in common. What we aim to accomplish with our work is no easy task, and we need dedicated, high-calibre people to reach our goals.
Acumen has invested more than $83 million of patient capital in more than 75 social enterprises in South Asia, East Africa and West Africa that have collectively served more than 100 million customers. We have teams on the ground in India, Pakistan, Kenya, Ghana, and New York, and we aim to build strong local structures that are deeply interconnected to the global organization through shared goals.
Acumen Pakistan
Acumen has been investing in Pakistan since 2002 and established Acumen Pakistan in 2006, incorporated under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984.

The office is staffed with a full-time team of professionals from diverse backgrounds including investment banking, venture capital, management consulting, social enterprise, law, and accounting.

Acumen Pakistan is well-resourced, has a strong foundation, and is ready to take our mission to the next level.

Burlington, Vermont - November 17, 2010
A new Vermont movie is being released Friday. It's called "Invisible" and it's about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The CDC estimates about 1 million Americans suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but the disease remains a mystery to many.
Director/Producer Rik Carlson, the man who made this movie, also suffers from Chronic Disease Syndrome.
Asked how you know if you have it, he responded, "Oh you know, it's way beyond just being tired." But Carlson said, "I'm not here to whine. I'm not here to talk about my personal illness."
"The purpose of this film is to share these testimonies with family members," he explained,"It's for spouses and brothers, and sisters, neighbors, and aunts, uncles, and employers, and physicians."
For more, watch the video from The :30.

How I Escaped the "Biblical Family Values" Nightmare That Drives Perry, Bachmann, and Tea Party Politics
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Do you remember when it first dawned on you that your relatives are all a bunch of crackpots and weirdos? Seems like I was around 8 or 9 — my mother worked all night in the casinos and slept most of the day, leaving me alone to protect my naïve older sister from the depraved advances of Mom's alcoholic boyfriends and worry about my big brother's drug addiction. I couldn't count on my grandparents to help — they were too preoccupied with their own divorce, dating, and remarriage dramas.
"Holy sugar," I thought to myself, "these people are seriously messed up!"
That's about the time the fantasies began. My home, I imagined, was a three-ring circus — and my relatives were the freaks and the clowns. In my daydreams, I was not really one of them. No — surely, I was of aristocratic origin. My REAL family were royalty in a faraway Kingdom and I was born a beloved Princess in a fancy castle with many servants and my own Fairy Godmother. Somehow, I'd been separated from my blood kin as an infant — I was captured by gypsies and sold in a black market adoption — that's how I ended up being raised by this group of crazies!
ABC's Primetime Nightline recently aired a segment featuring the Gil & Kelly Bates family — a conservative, Evangelical mega-family of twenty. The Bates, who are close friends of JimBob & Michelle Duggar of TLC's "19 and Counting" fame, hold to the extreme fundamentalist ideals of the growing " Quiverfull movement."
During the one-hour special, Gil, Kelly, and their children explained the family's lifestyle which, to all modern appearances, represents a throw back to the imaginary 60's-style "Leave It to Beaver" family combined with strict, Victorian Era sexual mores and the atavistic gender roles of ancient goat-herders. The Bates eschew all forms of birth control and adhere to the marriage model of the biblical Patriarchs — with Gil as family leader and Kelly as submissive "help meet." Kelly and the girls adorn themselves in modest, hand-sewn dresses, while Gil and his clean-cut sons teach bible study and participate in local Tea Party politics.
Aren't they lovely? Don'tcha wanna be just like them?
I sure did! I left home at 15 and embarked on a quest to recreate my long-lost perfect, happy family — my REAL courtly family, where I truly belonged. After a false start involving marriage at 16, a baby at 19, and divorce after seven years of abuse rivaling the most astonishing freak show acts Mom's circus family had ever performed — I remarried, found a "bible-believing" church, and worked hard within the Quiverfull counterculture to implement the best of the best biblical family values into our home life. I had six more children. I homebirthed, homeschooled, and home-churched. I submitted to my husband and joyfully sacrificed my time, energy and talents to build him up and help him to succeed. I published a "pro-life, pro-family" Christian family newspaper to inform and encourage other Christians to defend "Traditional Family Values."
In 2003, we were honored as Family of the Year at the Nebraska Family Council's "Salt & Light" awards. I'd finally made it! I had built my own Magic Kingdom where my husband reigned as King and I was his Queen, the children were our loyal subjects and we could all live happily ever after ...
Like the Bates family, we were the perfect picture of the "biblical family values" fantasy — an idealistic vision of big, happy families: devoted husband and wife surrounded by a passel of respectful, obedient children — we were all sweetness and smiles. It is this mesmerizing dream world which energizes and motivates Tea Party Republicans like Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann to work tirelessly to implement the "pro-family" theocratic agenda into every aspect of American society: not only in politics, but religion, family, media, education, business and entertainment.

VirtualBox: easily access your NAT configured Guest from the Host
This is a placeholder for the actual post: VirtualBox: give Host-Only access to internet. The post deserved two titles.
This is a placeholder for the actual post: VirtualBox: give Host-Only access to internet. The post deserved two titles.
This post describes a simple trick for VirtualBox to give host-only virtual machines access the internet or access your host from the guest using NAT. The title could also have been: "Easily access your NAT configured virtual machine."
The original problem or requirements:
Yes, you can use port-forwarding using NAT network interface for the virtual machine. But configuring this is just way to complicate and error prone. A few googles more, and I couldn't find anything good.
The solution I came up with: configure 2 network interfaces for your Virtual Box host. Simple, isn't it?
First, we need to make a new network in VirtualBox. You can do this in the GUI preference, which is a bit platform specific, but it's not easy to miss.
Create a new network in VirtualBox, named like vboxnet2 with following settings (change to suit your needs):
Setup your virtual machine using 2 network adapters. The order doesn't really matter, but you'll need one NAT and one Host-Only:
Boot your virtual machine, and configure the network interfaces in your guest OS (same order as previous point):
Guest has access to outside, and host can access services running on guest. This is handy when you have a demo or develop using a service running in the virtual machine, and the virtual machine needs to access the outside world.
(If the above has been posted somewhere else: I was either blind, or it was not visible or indexed enough.)
It took me a while figuring out why in using VirtualBox I couldn't get network in a machine configured with 2 network adapters. One was set up to be bridged with the host, the other is a host-only one.
The problem was that in CentOS I configured both assuming that eth0 equals to 'Adapter 1′, and eth1 'Adapter 2′. This is not (always?) the case and juggling it again around made it work. Now 'Adapter 2′ is eth0.
Now off to the real work and playing again with DRBD and MySQL, virtually!
The manual of VirtualBox has a section called Using a raw host hard disk from a guest which explains in detail how to use raw disks from the guest host. However, it's a bit tricky on Mac OS as you have the disks automatically mounting. Here is a small HOWTO showing how to mount a USB stick (using Mac OS 10.5) so it can be used as the IDE Primary Master in VirtualBox.
Warning: this is probably for more advanced users. Careful what you do with mounting and umounting manually!
Start by inserting the USB stick and see if gets mounted in Finder. If you would Eject the device, it gets u(n)mounted, but you can't use it anymore in VirtualBox. The trick here is to use diskutil (which replaces disktool) in a Terminal session. I assume the volume (e.g. USB stick) is empty.
Preparing the volume:
To make the volume available to VirtualBox we need to create a VMDK file. This is described fully in the manual, but here it is in a few steps:
At this point, you should have the new Virtual Hard Disk available which you can use to make a new virtual machine. Use the disk you created as the primary hard disk just like you would do with hard disk images.
Some errors you might run into:
A caveat doing the above: you'll need to remake the VMDK file if the disk is on a different device. This can for example happen when you first insert a DVD, and then the USB Stick. Maybe there is a solution for this using /etc/fstab or similar in Mac OS.
I had to do the above to make an installation on a USB stick. Ubuntu somehow failed during the installation (not sure why..); now I'm trying OpenSolaris.
Whatever you do, make sure your USB Stick is fast: I got a slow, cheap one now and it takes forever to format..

|A finite state description of the earliest logical computer : the Jevons'Machine
|P. Amblard1
|In 1870 a British scholar, W.S. Jevons, built the first computer designed to solve logical problem. Inspired by Boole and Babbage, Jevons built a mechanical device implementing automated deduction. In this paper, we present in contemporary terms the basic features of Jevon's machine. These features are related to finite-state machines and evaluation of words of a regular language. Two investigations about this machine are presented : the first one is evaluation of Jevons' machine complexity with a real-time environment. The second one is a VLSI implementation.

Baseball sage Yogi Berra once noted that predictions are difficult, especially about the future. For marketers, the ability to anticipate a customer's decision-making process based in part on an analysis of that individual's past actions would be invaluable. While no one can yet perfectly forecast behavior, tools are increasingly becoming available that allow nontechnical users to intuitively combine predictive models that were once the province of statisticians with a completely new breed of user-oriented business rules that can significantly improve the customer interaction experience.

Less than a minute separated the top seven St. Olaf runners. Jackie Kelly '08 finished second for the Oles, 12th place overall, with a time of 23:11.85. Casey Baustian '08 followed next with a time of 23:20.25, placing her 17th overall. First-year Laura Cook was the fourth St. Olaf runner to finish, 23rd overall, with a time of 23:30.70.
Annie Knutson '09 and Michaela McLaughlin '10 crossed the finish line less than one second apart, Knutson at 23:41.25 and McLaughlin at 23:41.95. The two runners placed fifth and sixth respectively among the St. Olaf team, 25th and 26th against the rest of the field. Margaret Ho '11 rounded out the top seven St. Olaf runners, placing 29th overall with a time of 23:44.50.
Carlson and Kelly were named to the All-Conference team for their efforts this season, while Baustian, Cook and Knutson received All-Conference Honorable Mention awards.
Scoring for the MIAC Championships was based on the sum of overall positions. Each school added the final placement of its top five runners to determine the team score. Only six places separated the top three schools. St. Thomas placed first overall with a score of 74, pursued closely by Carleton which posted a score of 76.
Carlson, Kelly, Baustian, Cook and Knutson combined to score 80 for the Oles and secure a third-place overall finish. Other top St. Olaf finishers included Abby Smith '10, Rebecca Spurr '11, Lisa Skildum '08 and Ginny Butt '11.
Bethel University boasted two of the top three runners overall and a slightly faster overall team time than the Oles, but fell to a distant fourth place finish with a score of 114. Bethel sophomore Marie Borner took home the individual title with a time of 21:56.05 and senior Niki Umhoefer finished third overall, but the next three Royals placed 32nd or higher.
Saturday's third place finish affected St. Olaf's standings, but not as directly as one might think.
"Our finish will affect our national ranking, but that does not mean anything about our team and our potential," Kelly said. "Qualifying for Nationals is still a team goal and we can do it."
The results of next week's Central Regional meet will determine whether or not the Oles will qualify for the NCAA Division III Championship meet, both of which will be held on the St. Olaf campus.
Only the top two teams from each region automatically qualify for Nationals, but it is likely that as many as five schools from the central region will make it in on at-large bids, Kelly said.
Kelly is confident that St. Olaf's slip from second to fifth in the central region will not prevent them from making a legitimate run towards a Nationals berth.
"Our top seven [runners] can outrun any of the competition's top five," Kelly said, "and this will help us in the weeks ahead."
Last season, St. Olaf placed seventh at the NCAA Central Region meet out of 23 total schools. At that meet, Carlson finished 58th overall. McLaughlin and Kelly finished 65th and 67th respectively.
St. Olaf will host the final three meets of the year on the women's schedule, starting with the Karhu Shoe Race at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. On Nov. 10 St. Olaf will hold the NCAA Central Regional Meet, followed by the final NCAA Division III Championship Meet on Nov. 17. Both races begin at 11 a.m.

Wealth, Weather Risk and the Composition and Profitability of Agricultural Investments
AbstractThis paper utilizes panel data from rural India to examine how the composition of asset holdings varies across farme rs with different levels of total wealth and across farmers facing different degrees of weather risk. In particular, the riskiness of farmers' asset portfolios are measured in terms of their sensitivity to weather variation and a test is developed and implemented of risk aversion based on the association between the average returns to individual production assets and their sensitivity to weather variability. How the responsiveness of portfolio riskiness and farm profitability to the influence of exogenous weather risk varies with wealth is also estimated. Copyright 1993 by Royal Economic Society.

This is the season of Johannes Brahms' German Requiem. It is on the schedule of three of Utah's leading choral organizations.
Barlow Bradford's Utah Chamber Artists will perform the work this week; Craig Jessop's Logan-based American Festival Chorus and Brady Allred's Salt Lake Choral Artists will present it on consecutive evenings in March.
"What an amazing piece," Bradford said, echoing sentiments expressed by his fellow conductors. "It's a privilege to get to work with it."
Though the German Requiem uses texts from Martin Luther's translation of the Bible, it is not liturgical. "It has nothing to do with the traditional Mass for the dead," Jessop said. The opening line, "Blessed are they that mourn," makes that clear immediately.
"It is a requiem for the living, not the dead," Jessop said. "It's meant to comfort those who are living."
In a lovely bit of symmetry, the work ends with "Blessed are the dead." In between, it ponders the fundamental questions of human existence and offers the hope of immortality.
"It has a great deal of personal poignancy for me," Jessop said. One of his most memorable experiences with the work came in 1999, when his longtime mentor, Robert Shaw, was scheduled to lead the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Utah Symphony in performances and a recording. Instead, Jessop stepped in to conduct when Shaw died unexpectedly (followed shortly by the death of Jessop's father).
Jessop considered using Shaw's English-language translation of the German Requiem for the upcoming performances in Logan, but opted for the original German even though he knew that memorizing and internalizing the text posed considerable difficulty for his volunteer singers, a mix of Utah State University students and Cache Valley residents.
"We're an educational institution, and part of this is to perform the music in as authentic a way as we can," he said.
Allred believes that performing the work in the audience's native language is in keeping with the composer's intentions. "He wanted [his audience of] German speakers to understand it," he said. Allred studied the work intensively with conductor and educator Lara Hoggard and presented Hoggard's English-language translation with SLCA seven years ago; this time, he will use the Shaw edition.
Bradford agrees there's a strong argument for performing the Requiem in English. "But as I've come to work with the piece, I've come to understand that [Brahms] wrote that piece with that sound, with those syllables in mind," he said. "It's almost impossible not to sing the phrase well if you take the German seriously."
The German Requiem has long been on Bradford's wish list, but the large choral and orchestral forces it requires have held him back. Since taking over the University of Utah choral department in 2010, though, he has augmented his chamber choir occasionally with elite student singers. The U.'s Chamber Choir will appear on this concert.
"Boy, does it ever speak to me, and it speaks to the choir as well," Bradford said of the work. "I can see it; I can hear it." Singing the Requiem is physically and emotionally grueling, "but you can come out of the rehearsal more energized. Something about the piece seems to give more than it takes out."
"As a singer, you get through six movements and don't know if you have anything left," Allred said. "Then you find your last wind, like a runner would."
Allred said his volunteer chorus shares his passion for the piece. Initially, he'd planned to use a piano four-hands reduction of the score as accompaniment because of the expense of hiring an orchestra. The singers were having none of it — they raised the funds from friends and family members.
This will be the seventh time Jessop has conducted the Brahms Requiem. Each time, he marvels at the composer's craftmanship — whether it's the repeated D's underpinning the third-movement fugue and symbolizing the hand of God; or the voices of the chorus, representing human souls, ascending to meet a heavenly solo flute in the central chorus; or the horns and trombones of the orchestra chasing away death and hell in the sixth movement.
Equally impressive to Jessop is the work's spiritual depth. He noted that Brahms — demonstrating a remarkable understanding of the human condition while in his early 30s — considered calling it the "Human Requiem."
"Our journeys may have nothing in common, but birth and death are something we share with every human being on the planet," Jessop said.

Nasser Hussain - The Visionary.
Strauss's England team put the rest of the world to shame
Mahela= vastly overrated and Samaraweera = underrated but if you think that means Sam> Mahela I've got to disagree, even though I think the gap between them isn't as large as most here.
Scoring runs at home is a pretty nice thing to do as well
I had thought we all assumed Samaraweera was a ridiculous home track bully after seeing he averaged 50 and not watching any tests in Sri Lanka
Stick to principle people
Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
Mahela is only second to Sehwag when it comes to batting on dustbowls. But you'd appriciate that Sam has been not much behind when it comes to playing on dustbowls. Additionally Sam played some breathtaking knocks on seaming wickets as well. All the rating Mahela has got due to his strokeplay in limited over matches and his grace in making teh runs. Sam is borderline ugly when he makes runs, but makes them when no one else makes them.
Member of the Sanga fan club. (Ugh! it took me so long to become a real fan of his)
Samaraweera was rubbish in England, 50 average or not.
At least we can all agree they're both far ahead of Sanga.

The Grass Grows Greener
Keep your turf green in more ways than one with these earth-friendly lawn care suggestions.
Jane Burman-Holtom takes pride in her beautiful lawn, which boasts more than an acre of native grasses, trees, ferns and flowers. No boring expanse of golf-course turf, it's more like the natural terrain that existed before her Gainesville, Florida, neighborhood sprang up. She and her husband enjoy working to keep their yard healthy, natural and free of toxic chemicals. They're rewarded with a wealth of flora, as well as birds and butterflies that find safe haven there.
Florida alone has more than 5 million acres of turf grass managed by homeowners. "With more and more people, more and more lawns have an impact," says Wendy Wilber, environmental horticulturist at the University of Florida extension office of Alachua County. "We have to be really careful what we do with our landscape. In our sandy soils, excessive soluble fertilizer slips away before it can be utilized by the plant. It's not gone; it's entering our waterways and the aquifer, and then it's in our water supply. Our lakes die and our springs turn green, and it can possibly get into our drinking water. There are consequences." For example, too much fertilizer in waterways may contribute to an overgrowth of algae, such as red tide, which uses up the oxygen supply, choking out plants, fish and marine life.
Control Weeds
Burman-Holtom exercises caution when applying chemical weed killers and pesticides. She prefers to eradicate weeds from her yard the old-fashioned way, by hand. "I do the weed of the moment," she says. "I look to see what's about to seed or flower—they're seasonal. Then I walk around and look for those specific weeds and catch them early. It's very good exercise out in the fresh air."
Weeds can signal a soil calcium deficiency, says Paul Tukey, author of The Organic Lawn Care Manual (Storey Publishing, 2007). He suggests having soil tested by the local extension office. If you keep your turf thick and healthy, there's no room for weed seeds to germinate and grow. Tukey advises keeping a bag of grass seed handy to toss on bare spots that emerge.
He also notes that some "weeds" are good for your lawn. Clover, for example, adds nitrogen to the soil. Rethinking the roles of these beneficial plants will cut down on weeding too.
Manage Pests
Nature provides its own checks and balances in the yard, a good reason to avoid using blanket pesticide products that kill good bugs along with the bad. Some beneficial insects include ladybugs, which are attracted by pollen- and nectar-producing flowers and eat aphids. Lacewing bugs also are drawn to the garden by flowers and feast on aphids, scales, thrips and moth eggs. Bees and wasps pollinate fruit and flowers, and their larvae often feed on lawn pests, such as the mole cricket. Spiders prey on small bugs, helping to keep populations in check.
Some beneficial plants help maintain this natural order too. For example, the common "weeds" partridge pea and button weed attract wasps that prey on mole crickets, which eat grass roots. Both perennial bushes bloom with pretty flowers. You can find them at native plant nurseries or through your local extension office.
When pests do become a problem, visually inspect plants and try to remove the bugs by hand. Or wash them off with a mild solution of dish soap and water or cayenne pepper steeped in water.
Nourish Your Lawn
Give your lawn a nutritious diet but avoid using too much fertilizer. To help prevent runoff of excess nutrients, avoid getting fertilizer on sidewalks or driveways or applying it before a rainfall or near bodies of water. If you choose to buy organic fertilizer, Tukey suggests looking for the OMRI certification label from the Organic Materials Review Institute.
SafeLawns, a coalition of non- and for-profit groups founded by Tukey that promotes natural lawn care, provides a recipe for an organic compost tea in the How-to-Videos section at safelawns.org. It's made by steeping compost in water to create a nutrient-rich solution. (For details about composting, see the March 2008 issue of Publix GreenWise Market magazine, available at publix.com.)
Another way to nourish your lawn naturally is with grass clippings. For decades the popular practice was to collect grass clippings when mowing and then dump them unceremoniously into the trash. In recent years, turf scientists have realized that there are better ways to utilize grass clippings and keep them out of landfills. Now they advise "grasscycling," leaving clippings on the lawn when you mow instead of removing them. Grass is rich in nitrogen, so it acts as a natural fertilizer, and it has a high water content that helps it decompose quickly to feed your lawn.
"Look into the forest," says Tukey. "It didn't grow because anyone put [fertilizer] down. That forest grows because of the leaves and pine needles on the ground. Lawns can grow the same way. The goal is to create a system that's self-sustaining."

It can be called tough love, that relationship between player and coach. But if the coach got it right when he recruited said player, then said player should have
the attributes the coach wanted for his team in the first place. Passion and intensity are always high on the check list for a coach while recruiting a player.
MTSU men's basketball coach Kermit Davis wanted Bruce Massey on his team. And the senior has been a main cog in a program surge to what could be called, if the current
growth continues, a major mid-major player.
And that's saying something these days when their ranks – often fueled by tradition – include Butler (consecutive national title runner-up) and Final Four upstarts Virginia
Commonwealth and George Mason. You can also think Gonzaga, Creighton, Tulsa, Wichita State, etc.
For a mid-major like MTSU, every game is key in the battle for a strong RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) number, a chief component for the NCAA Tournament selection committee come March. Now sitting in the upper 30s, MTSU can keep winning and stay in the NCAA at-large invitee discussion at the least, yet conversely has a slim margin for error for low-RPI losses that could harm NCAA tourney at-large invitee.
Which makes road losses that get away even more difficult to stomach. Like last Thursday's overtime losers at Arkansas State, for example. Let's just say Davis wasn't
happy about the effort and, ultimately, the result in their first game after Christmas. During the game, Davis and Massey had a heated discussion on the sidelines during an
early timeout just four minutes into the game that concerned certain goings-on within the game.
As head coach, Davis wins that discussion every time, as well he should. Massey was benched immediately and didn't return to play that night against Arkansas State. Come Saturday night in a win at South Alabama, Massey did not start per usual.
Call it a message twice sent from the coach. "I love coaching Bruce Massey," said Davis, whose Blue Raiders (12-4, 4-1 in Sun Belt) host Florida Atlantic (8-8, 3-2) tonight at 7 at Murphy Center. He was a guest on The Wendy's First Quarter on Thursay.
"He is one of the biggest cogs in what we have done the last season and a half," Davis added.
But that doesn't excuse Massey, or any other Blue Raider, for acting up during a game. "The game didn't go great for him early," Davis said of last Thursday night. "and he
went out of character a little bit with excuses and effort." Massey obviously got the message by the time the South Alabama game tipped off Saturday night. He came off the bench to notch team highs with 12 points and three assists in 22 minutes and was instrumental in the key road victory.
"Bruce responded very well in practice Friday and during the game," Davis said. "It's like when you have a disagreement within a family. We talked and said it was over and
time to move on.
"And Bruce responded very well. It shows you the kind of character Bruce has and the way he responds to adversity." A transfer out of Dodge City (Kan.) Community College, Massey learned on the fly last season about the intensity of a conference race in January and February. The Blue Raiders seem to understand the grind of league play and have a good handle on being a league favorite with little to margin for error during the regular season and, especially, in the postseason tournament.
"In conference play, after a while everyone knows your tendencies," Massey said. "It just becomes playing basketball," he added. "Players have to make plays. Coach makes the game plan out, but you have to go out and execute."

Sperm Donor Told: Pay Up!
A recent case explores whether a sperm donor should be liable for child support.
Should a sperm donor be forced to pay child support? Yes, says a Nassau County family court judge. A man who said he donated sperm to a female co-worker in 1989 as a "friendly gesture" is legally considered the father and may have to pay child support for the college-bound teenager until the teen turns 21, according to a judge's ruling, reports Newsday.
The man was a physician at the same Nassau County hospital where the
child's mother was a resident. After learning the woman and her female
partner wanted to have a baby, Newsday says the man donated
his sperm and the woman gave birth on July 26, 1989. Married at the
time, the man agreed that he would not have any rights or benefits in
raising the child, but the verbal agreement was never put in writing,
according to court documents. That verbal agreement flew out the window
the mother later sued for child support.
Another sperm donor who's making headlines is Daryl Hendrix, a
Topeka man who is fighting a legal battle over parental rights because
his twin babies' mother says he is just the sperm donor. Local news
station KCTV reports that in 2004 a longtime female friend approached
Hendrix and asked if he would father a baby for her through artificial
insemination. He agreed, and she soon became pregnant with twins.
|They, too, put nothing in writing. Their relationship was amicable until she gave birth. When Hendrix went to the hospital to see the infants, he was turned away. The next day, the mother filed legal documents asking that Hendrix have no parental rights. Hendrix, too, went to court to fight for parental rights, and the battle is still ongoing.
To us, "sperm donor" and "father" mean two very different things. What do you think?
I think everyone needs to get this stuff in writing before they start popping out the babies.
Sounds to me like both of these guys are getting the shaft.
