Haqqani: Pakistanis Need Honest Debate About Their Country
"We Pakistanis need an honest debate inside our country about what is Pakistan's national interest. We never have it," said Hussain Haqqani, a former Pakistani diplomat and journalist, who was at IPI on November 19th to give a presentation on his latest book, Magnificent Delusions: Pakistan, the United States, and an Epic History of Misunderstanding.
Mr. Haqqani, who now teaches at Boston University and works at the Hudson Institute, stressed the need for candid dialogue within his country. "If you look at Pakistani television, all you see is Pakistani politics, denigration of Pakistan's critics, a little bit of religion thrown in for good measure, a lot of sectarianism, and criticism of everybody else in the world from America to India to Israel. Everybody is responsible for our problems."
Mr. Haqqani said part of the book's impetus was to uncover how the author's home became such a global center of Islamism and jihadism. He theorized it was because of longstanding insecurities about the nation's future, constant fear of India as an existential threat, and many leaders' attempts to avoid the country splintering along ethnic lines by creating a religion-based nationalism.
There is a deep-seated fear of India, he told the audience, and added that even today children are taught in school that India poses an existential threat. Mr. Haqqani contended that this outdated fear itself is the real threat to Pakistanis, by coopting legitimate national debate about significant and pressing problems.
"Pakistan's advantage lies in having closer ties with its neighbors, not in having a notion of existential animosity and hatred," he said. "Will Pakistan present itself and think of itself as a warrior nation or as a trading nation? Pakistan sits at the crossroads of Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East."
One of the biggest problems is education, he said, noting that half of Pakistan's 200 million people are below 21, with a mere 58 percent of school-aged kids enrolled in school. Mr. Haqqani compared this to regional states India and Bangladesh, which both have over 90 percent enrollment rates.
"People don't see the fact that half the kids not in school, or the other half in school not learning much as relevant to the modern world," he said. "They don't see that as a security threat."
On US relations, Mr. Haqqani, who was Pakistan's Ambassador to Washington from 2008 to 2011, argued that decades of aid has come with tragic misunderstandings on both sides. In addition to extensive loans and financial aid, he said, Pakistan's navy and air force are equipped primarily with outdated ships and jets from the US—the result of recurring direct military aid from America.
Both nations want various things they will never get from the other, he argued, and this delusional relationship has left Pakistan codependent and dangerously ignorant of its real challenges.
"Here's the bottom line of the book," he said, "the United States and Pakistan perceived their national interests so widely divergently that they could not and should not have been allies. What's needed are circumstances for Pakistanis to think, 'Oh God, we are trouble.' The problem is that whenever there has been trouble, the United States comes along with a bailout."
Mr. Haqqani said there are many pressing issues in Pakistan—including media propaganda and government corruption—but that terrorism still poses the biggest threat. "Corruption of our leaders is a problem," he said, "but militarism and jihadism are bigger problems."
Indeed, Mr. Haqqani said Pakistan could only move forward once its people realize that a religion-based, hyper nationalism, supported by nuclear weapons and jihadi terrorism, will only put the country in conflict with the rest of the world, and that the US cannot support Pakistan forever.
Mr. Haqqani said he remained a patriot and looked forward to returning home someday. He concluded the presentation with the optimistic notion that circumstances may in fact be ripe for a serious national dialogue.
"With the sectarian violence increasing, domestic terrorism increasing, I think Pakistan is right at that point where Pakistanis can be with some effort convinced that the real threat to Pakistan is terrorism, not India," he said.

Re: The final solution - what I came up with regarding auxiliary propulsion (pic heav
The projects that were the most difficult were often the most easily overlooked ones, and a lot of the "pretty" stuff (like the bracket) weren't all that difficult at all.
Take the toe rail for example, that was very difficult. Very few oohs and ahs about that upon completion, as it was just a simple "off the rack" 34' (x2) length of toe rail. Think about it however, how
do you install it and bed it with butyl?
1- Start with a filled and faired hull to deck joint (a big project in and of itself)
2- Place forward portion of the rail where it's to go, place wife on shoddy ladder 20' out and 10' feet up from aft of boat to hold the straight length of rail as you drill the first hole and temp. drop first fastener into the hole to hold the rail on.
3- Have wife balance the rail on the ladder (careful there), move ladder in a bit, then climb back up and pull the rail in for the next hole and fastener to be repeated as the first.
4- Repeat, over and over until the last fastener is in (gets much harder as you proceed, as the rail gets more and more "bent on" and the pressure to bend it on needs to greatly increase. The fact that the rail was 4' longer than the boat greatly helped in achieving the leverage needed to bend it on). We couldn't have bent it on had we cut it to the proper length beforehand.
5- Now the rail is on, unbedded and with drill shavings piled up underneath it.
6- Next, remove temporary short fasteners holding the rail on in favor of long fasteners, one by one.
7- Realize at this point that the long fasteners - which are needed to give the ability to lift the rail high enough to clean the shavings and apply the butyl - won't fit in many areas because they are so close to the edge.
8- Custom fit each fastener to work. Some need trimming, some need a slight bend applied to them. There are many. So many..
9- Remove certain fasteners that won't facilitate lifting the rail (better not remove too many though).
10- Carefully and gently pry/lift rail as high as possible without removing it. We were able to lift about 3".
11- Clean shavings, do any spot prep that became necessary.
12- Apply butyl. Do a long unbroken line the entire length of the rail, inside and out, and do a circle around each and every fastener.
13- Gently tap rail back down the entire length.
14- Send wife inside to crank down as you hold fast up top.
15- Test for leaks, leave to settle for a couple of days and give the butyl time to ooze.
16- Give everything a final crankdown and wait again for ooze. Trim ooze.
17 - Trim off overhanging aft part of toe rail to proper length.
18- Smack head and wonder why you didn't just build a bulwark out of epoxy to begin with.
The rail was incredibly difficult, one of the most difficult, and once installed only noticeable in it's beauty to those who have any idea what it takes to install something like that.

This is glorious and even thought it doesn't fit in the range of all the paranormal, I MUST share
It works like this: You tell Kitestring that you're in a dangerous place or situation, and give it a time frame of when to check in on you. If you don't reply back when it checks your status, it'll alert your emergency contacts with a custom message you set up.
It doesn't require you to touch anything (like bSafe) or shake your phone (like Nirbhaya) to send the distress signal. Kitestring is smarter, because it doesn't need an action to alert people, it needs inaction.
reblogging because this is seriously amazing.
As they work more closely with our mobile computers, devices that once simply fixed whatever ailed us will begin to do much more.
It's only a slight exaggeration to say that the latest crop of advanced hearing aids are better than the ears most of us were born with. The devices can stream phone calls and music directly to your ears from your phone. They can tailor their acoustic systems to your location; when the phone detects that you have entered your favorite sports bar, it adjusts the hearing aids to that environment.

A handful of teams had called.
One team even left a message asking him to come home to them, Edwards said.
He agreed with part of that request.
The Monterey High graduate is home this weekend, conducting the 14th annual Herm Edwards Football Camp at Monterey Peninsula College.
"This is my back yard,'' said Edwards, a former Lobo All-American defensive back.
For the first time in 30-plus years, Edwards isn't preparing for an NFL training camp as a player or coach, spurning potential assistant coaching offers from five NFL teams and two colleges.
"I thought about it,'' Edwards said. "I really felt like I needed to evaluate where I'm at. To tell you the truth, it feels good. I don't miss it at all. Of course, that's easy to say because the season hasn't started yet."
A recharged Edwards was beaming Saturday in 80-plus degree heat, canvassing up and down the Lobos football field like — well a coach. He was in his realm coordinating the days events.
"This feels like I'm coaching again,'' Edwards said. "I'm the only one with a whistle.''
Edwards won't be too far from the NFL. He's taken a job with ESPN where he spends 10 days a month in the studio doing the 'NFL Live Show' alongside former Aptos High and 49ers quarterback Trent Dilfer.
"This is another chapter in my life,'' Edwards said.
Edwards looks comfortable in front of a camera, as evident when he shouts out "NFL Live Starts Now" before the show begins. He's not just making cameos. He's insightful with energy.
"I want to be the best analyst,'' said Edwards, the Eagles second all-time leader in career interceptions with 27. "I am learning with each show. I wanted to be in the studio. I didn't want to do games."
Edwards, 55, isn't shutting the door on a return to coaching. But after 30 years, coaching isn't a priority in life.
"As you get older, priorities change,'' Edwards said. "Why would I want to go back to working 17 hour days? I want to spend more time with my two daughters. I missed a lot of that when my son Marcus was growing up."
It's clear Edwards is at peace with his decision to put the clipboard in storage, although he brought it out Saturday in putting 400 plus kids onto teams for today's run at the Super Bowl.
From up top the MPC facility, a sea of grey Addias shirts and shorts, as well as silver gym bags sprawled all over the facility, covering the plush green synthetic football field.
Edwards is still the main attraction among kids and adults, even with current Chiefs tight end and former Seaside star Tony Curtis, and New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita on hand at the camp.
"Doing what I'm doing right now just makes sense for me in life at this time,'' Edwards said. "Being a part of the NFL for 30 years was a blessing.''
In eight years as an NFL coach, Edwards took four teams to the playoffs. He is the Jets second all-time winningest playoff coach and was the first coach in Kansas City to take a team to the playoffs in his first year as a coach.
"What I never wanted to do was embarrass the league,'' Edwards said. "I'm big on integrity. I feel like I've left each team better than when I started. I feel like I've helped a lot of players.''
Edwards insists that going through a stretch where the Chiefs went 3-22 over the last 25 games of his coaching tenure did not leave a bad taste in his mouth.
"We lost seven games by seven points or less last year,'' Edwards said. "Why? We had no experience. We had to do it with 20 rookies. We couldn't finish in the fourth quarter. I was coaching a college team. But I had fun. And we got better. I believe I've made it better for the next guy.''
For now Edwards will remain in Kansas City while a new home is being built on the Monterey Peninsula, where he plans to make his summer visits permanent in two years.
"After 30 years, it's time to come home,'' Edwards said. "My mom is still here. This is where I want to raise my two daughters. This is always been home.''
Edwards almost makes is sound like his coaching days are over.
"You never say never,'' Edwards said. "You always leave the door open. If I choose to come back, I have the option. But my girls are getting used to seeing me home. You don't realize how many people you've touched until you are out the game. For me, it's always been about making a difference. That's what this camp is about.''

Heavenly Places
- Tuesday, March 25, 2008
"Girl, you can't do it all in one night and you've got to eat. We live only ten minutes away—on the other side of the tracks."
I give her a light shove. "Whatever, Jill."
"Seriously, come on over." Jillian admires the leaf of a shrub with great intensity. "And I think Mama's coming too."
A jolt surges through my body. I find that interesting, that my body reacts before my mind. It wants to sit down. The involuntary shaking is a clue. I look around as if furniture appeared while my back was turned, and then I remember that it exists only in my little three-ring binder. My body doesn't mind; it settles for the wide tiles of the loggia. Legs pulled to the chest, arms wrapped around the legs, head tucked inside, it is hoarding relief as best it can, waiting for my mind to catch up, decide what we should do. The spunk that endured all of two minutes is gone. Thanks to Jillian, the Grand Dame has made her entrance, bringing with her, as usual, tangible distress.
She is the reason I never wanted to return—Patsy Parker Campbell, whom I haven't spoken to in three years and whom, long before that, I had banished to the outermost ring of my life. I hadn't even processed yet what it means to be near her again. I thought I could put off consideration of that reality for weeks, maybe months. I couldn't have guessed I'd be dealing with it the first night.
I lift my head and ask accusingly, "She knows I'm back?"
"Is it a secret?"
"I sure hadn't told her."
"Well, I talk to her a little more than you do and it would have been unnatural for me to keep quiet about her daughter moving back to town."
"You didn't have to invite her to dinner. I have zero energy right now, and less for her. You know how she is." I tuck my head back down.
Jillian touches my shoulder, eases down next to me on the tiled ground, and sighs. "I'm sorry. She called this morning and I honestly wasn't thinking I had to be guarded, so when she asked what I was doing I told her I was cleaning the house, getting ready for you all to come over. She was quiet—you know Mama doesn't get quiet—and I felt bad and said, 'You're welcome to come, too, if you want.'"
I groan loudly, understanding fully. The invitation didn't have to be, if only Jillian had had the guts to honor the status quo; lack of contact has worked quite well. But maybe Patsy didn't say she was coming. Jillian said, I think Mama is coming. Hopeful, I lift my head again. "And she said?"
"She said, 'Okay.'"
I stare at the pool, blankly at first, then with great interest. Its otherworldliness is inviting, and not just because it's a hot August day. I want to dive in, let the water swallow me whole. I want to feel the smack of a change in circumstance, the rush you feel when you don't dip toe-to-shin-to-waist-to-neck until you're completely under, but you just take the plunge. When I do that, I glide near the bottom and swim until I need a breath. I can't hear, can't see what's happening above, can't be bothered. My leg rocks side to side. It likes the idea, wants to give me a running start. The ripples conspire too, rolling lazily with the faint breeze in a come-hither fashion, promising to shut out the world. That's what I need, an escape.
Jillian knocks her leg against mine and playfully obstructs my view with her face. "Treva?"
"This could be a good thing. Maybe it's time for you to build a better relationship with Mama. Maybe you could begin to see her in a different light." Her earnest eyes fill my peripheral vision. "You're a new person, Treva. God has given you the strength, you know."

Defense Acquisitions:
Actions Needed to Ensure Adequate Funding for Operation and Sustainment of the Ballistic Missile Defense System

In 2002, the Department of Defense (DOD) implemented a new acquisition model to develop a Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) that included all major missile defense acquisitions, some of which were being developed by the military services. The model called for the management and funding responsibility for production, operation, and sustainment of a capability to be transferred to a military service when a BMDS element or major component is technically mature and plans for production are well developed. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) was given responsibility for developing the BMDS and recommending the transfer of management and funding responsibilities to the services. In 2004, MDA emplaced an initial missile defense capability, but DOD did not transfer management and funding responsibility for that capability. Because a formal transfer did not occur, GAO was asked to (1) identify DOD's criteria for deciding when a missile defense capability should be transferred to a service and (2) determine how DOD is managing the costs of fielding a BMDS capability.
There is currently uncertainty as to which assets may eventually be transferred to each military service and under what conditions those transfers should occur. This uncertainty makes it difficult for the services to plan to address the requirements of DOD acquisition regulations and realign their budgets to support the missile defense mission. According to MDA and other DOD officials, when transfer criteria were established in 2002, the Department did not fully understand the complexity of the BMDS and how it could affect transfer decisions. For example, it has been difficult to determine whether MDA or a military service will be responsible for managing and funding some assets, such as stand-alone missile defense radars, because these assets are not integrated on service platforms or do not perform core service missions. MDA officials suggested that these components could be operated by either contractors or military personnel and MDA might fund their operation and sustainment. A team that includes representatives from the military services, the combatant commands, MDA, and other DOD offices was established early this year to address transfer issues. However, because MDA and the services have been unable to reach agreement on the transfer of some missile defense assets, a unit under the Joint Chiefs of Staff was tasked in July 2005 with recommending revisions to the existing transfer criteria. MDA budgeted $1.5 billion of its fiscal year 2005 research and development funds to acquire interceptors and radars and upgrade various BMDS components. It expects to continue to acquire and upgrade BMDS assets through 2011 and beyond. However, MDA and the services disagree as to who should pay for operating and sustaining the initial defensive capability after fiscal year 2005. Additionally, although DOD has budgeted $68.5 billion to develop, procure, operate, and sustain a missile defense capability between 2005 and 2011, it has not completely determined whether additional operation and sustainment funds will be needed, and it has not included all known operation and sustainment costs in its budget. Until DOD decides who will fund these costs, the services will likely continue to provide only the funding that they have been directed to provide. As a result, some needs--for which neither MDA nor the services have planned--will go unfunded. Additionally, if the funds budgeted for some purposes, such as logistical support for the BMDS, turn out to be insufficient, DOD will either have to take funds from other programs or spend less on missile defense.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the military services have worked together to develop a Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Transition and Transfer Plan. The plan is responsive to our recommendation because it addresses agreements reached as to the organization that will budget for and provide funding support for elements that will not transfer from MDA to a military service.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should ensure that a decision is made as to which DOD organization will fund the operation and sustainment of missile defense assets that are part of the initial defensive capability but have not been transferred from MDA to a military service and direct that organization, or those organizations, to budget for those costs.

13 Things Your Mother-in-Law Won't Tell You
Build a better relationship with his mother by remembering these things she'd like to say but won't (you hope!)By Maureen Mackey from from Reader's Digest | May 2009
Build a better relationship with his mother by remembering these things she'd like to say but won't (you hope!)By Maureen Mackey from from Reader's Digest | May 2009
I only married my wife so that I could have a better chance at hooking up with my MIL and our aunt – The MIL's sister.
I'm a great MIL because I don't do anything like my MIL did. I didn't talk to the woman for 20 years!
I notice a trend here, men get along with their MIL but women don't. I have four daughters and not one likes their MIL.
A mother is very close to her children, the father, not so much. So when a strange women moves in and takes away her son, she balks. not an unusual behavior.
Even though my MIL did not deserve it, I have been taking care of her for three years, Her and her Sister, have never tried to get to know me, They have never invited me to go shopping, movies's , Lunch with them. Even when I was at their house. They always tried to get me to dye my hair or get a perm, fake nails. dress different. Their gift to me were junk, it go to be a joke with my husband and kids, They gave me a blow dryer, but kept the free curling iron and brush, or a robe they got free with something they bought for theirselves, It had cherries all over it. or the gave me something they did not like and they already altered it for them. But they were so nice to everyone one else. I took care of my Aunt until she died on Hospice and now I have to take care of my MIL who is 98 yrs old now. So you MIL better be nicer to your Daughter in-Laws because we might be the only one's to keep you out of a Old Folks home. MIL should accept your Daughter In-Law's the way they are. I could tell more Stories, MIL you need to be nicer, and they need to respect your Daughter In-Laws.
My son says he thinks who ever marries him will be so lucky to be a part of our family. (He is an only child and we always wanted a daughter, too.) I chuckle to myself and think "God, I hope so."
who the hell wrote this? Some smarmy,B.S.ing mother in law? #3 really rankles me. Uh no,it's not lack of self-confidence,it's not enjoying being torn to shreds(little bit of criticism,my a$$)….. and #4,a little gratitude,i send birthday gifts and get nothing. Yeah,more like the DIL sends and gets no gratitude. Many MILs don't bother to remember their DILs birthday,or they purposely forget.

SEMINAR 15th October: Rebecca Fiebrink. Interactive Machine Learning for End-User Systems building in Music Composition and Performance
SEMINAR 1st October - Duncan Brumby: Improving the everyday interactions with your phone, and maybe medical devices too
Follow us...
I have led or participated in various funded research projects. My research has all
been broadly in the area of evaluating complex systems. Within this, there are several (ongoing, overlapping) themes:
Methods for evaluating interactive systems
- The CASSM method focuses on the conceptual fit between user and system; a tutorial and the Cassata support tool are available from the CASSM website.
- DiCoT is an approach to evaluating small team interactions in terms of Distributed Cognition.
- We have done a little work on Evaluating Multimodal Usability (EMU), e.g. evaluating a satnav system.
- CASSM and EMU both built, to some extent, on Programmable User Modelling (PUMA), an approach which turned out to be too costly relative to its benefits.
- PRET A Rapporter isn't a method as such, but a structured approach to planning any evaluation study. Sorry we've only reported on it in the context of information systems so far!
- As well as developing methods, we have tried to evaluate them; for example we tested the scope of various methods.
- We have also reflected on what it takes to develop and test a new method.
Interacting with information
- See our Synthesis Lecture, for an overview of much of our work on interacting with information, and in particular the "information journey".
- Our forthcoming paper on sensemaking summarises our work with lawyers.
- Ongoing work is studying the nature of serendipity (through the SerenA project) and how to design to support sensemaking, particularly through visual analytics.
Designing safe, usable systems for healthcare
- Our ongoing work on CHI+MED is focusing on human factors for medical devices, with a particular concern with error and resilience.
- Earlier work investigated the use of information technologies by clinicians, e.g. the role of communities of practice in take-up and use, design of an awareness server, and requirements on time management tools.
- I am interested in how patients make sense of information pertinent to their health, but have only conducted pilot studies on this so far...
Human error and resilience in interactive systems
- We have conducted many studies on cognitive slips, such as that reported by Li et al. The focus of this work, currently being supported through CHI+MED, is on understanding how the design of interactive systems provokes or mitigates slips.
- Conversely, we are also studying how individuals and organisations develop resilient strategies, and how technology supports this. For example, we conducted studies in control rooms, and have developed a preliminary resilience markers framework.
Applying and developing theory in practical contexts
- As well as the work on resilience, error, communities of practice, sensemaking, serendipity, etc., we have investigated emergency medical dispatch from the perspectives of situation awareness and distributed cognition.
Currently funded projects:
CHI+MED: Computer–Human Interaction for Medical Devices (EPSRC Programme Grant).
Healthy Interactive Systems in Healthcare (EPRSC Platform Grant).
SerenA: The Serendipity Arena (EPSRC sandpit project).
INKE: Implementing New Knowledge Environments (SSHRCC).
Completed projects:
Making Sense of Information (with John Dowell, Simon Attfield & Stephen de Gabrielle)
Human Error Modelling (HUM) (with Paul Curzon, Jonathan Back, Dominic Furniss, George Papatzanis & Rimvydas Ruksenas)
User Centred Interactive Search with Digital Libraries (with Claire Warwick, George Buchanan, Jeremy Gow, Jon Rimmer & William Newman)

Welcome to the Tomos A55 Sprint Parts Gallery. Vehicle Identification Number (digits 5, 6, 10) examples:
Sprint 2007 pedal: ZZ1A8812#7K###### (shown)
Sprint 2012 kick: ZZ1A8712#CK######
Five Sprint Parts manuals are combined here, 2007, 08, 09, 11, 12, with prices. Many additions and improvements.
Substitute parts are labeled with a Z and shaded light green. They can replace an original part that is not available, or offer an optional style or color. We don't like N/A either!
Wide format allows several years to be displayed at once. Prints onto 14″ legal size paper with Preferences settings: Orientation: Landscape, Paper Size: Legal
Some notes about Tomos parts:
- ISO 7380 bolts are use throughout, when practical. ISO 7380 is a type of machine screw with a domed allen head, also known as button head (BA) allen. The six-sided hole for the allen wrench is one size smaller than a regular allen head. So an M6 allen bolt takes a 5mm allen wrench, while a M6 button head allen bolt takes a 4mm allen wrench, an M5 allen takes a 4mm wrench, while an M6 BA takes a 3mm wrench, and so on. The button head looks and feels nicer, but strips the wrench hole easy. ISO 7380 buttonhead allen bolts were used from 2003 to 2009. Before that the bolt style was pan-phillips and regular hex.
- Flange hex bolts are used throughout the 2010 and later models. The flange is like a built-in washer under the hex. They work great but look ugly. The 2010-2011 parts manuals still contain the older buttonhead allen bolts. When the parts become available the 2010-2011 manuals will be updated. Until then if you order certain screws/bolts for a 2010-2011, you will get some that work the same but look way different.
- Spring ring means lock washer.

This article was contributed by Jesse Borek
To say that the Sun Devils put forth their most miserable performance of the season late on Sunday night would be an understatement.
In part deux of the Battle of the Bachynskis, younger brother Dallin's Utah Utes (18-9, 7-8) came out on top over Jordan's Sun Devils (19-8, 8-6) with a convincing 86-63 rout.
Do not be fooled by the fact that just because the Bachynski brothers squared off in Salt Lake City tonight that the game was about the siblings from north of the border. In fact, each man had very little to do with the outcome of what was a lambasting of the Sun Devils.
After Arizona State scored the game's first basket, the Utes promptly answered by going on a feverish 18-4 run that if was not cut into soon, looked as if it could snowball to epic proportions.
Absolutely nothing went right on both ends of the floor for ASU; usually a sour combination when trying to win a conference game on the road.
At halftime, ASU was shooting a miserable 27% from the field, which spiked to just above 30% at the conclusion of their drubbing at the hands of the Utes.
Unlike the mantra of games gone by, it was not as if the Sun Devils had difficulty getting into their offensive sets, or finding open looks, as both of those hurdles were cleared quite easily. Where the trouble set in was once the ball was set to be released.
Shooting a dreadful 6-for-27 (22%) from three-point range, the Sun Devils literally shot themselves right out of the game. Outside of the marksmanship of Egor Koulechov, who buried all three of his long-range attempts, the shooting was abysmal. Jermaine Marshall went 1-for-7, Jahii Carson 0-for-4 and even Bo Barnes went 1-for 4.
To blame this embarrassing loss strictly on shooting would be unfair. The defense was also lacking.
Two early fouls assessed ASU center Jordan Bachynski certainly did not help the interior defense, but Utah was made to look like they were a team with a deep tournament run in their legs, when in actuality, they will need a Cinderella-like run to even think about buying glass slippers to the dance.
In defense of what was one of the more shocking defeats in the program's recent memory, it was not as if the Sun Devils wilted up and died. Hustle plays and defensive intensity stayed at peak level throughout, with Bo Barnes, Eric Jacobsen and Jordan Bachynski standing out in particular to pace the high-energy effort.
If nothing else comes out of this drubbing in Utah, coach Herb Sendek may have at least found himself another option off the bench as freshman Egor Koulechov went for 11 points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench. Whether it was the adulation over his home nation being crowned kings of the 2014 Winter Games or not, it has become obvious that the sharp-shooting prowess of the young Koulechov will prove vital to stretching out defenses as the season carries on.
Life in the PAC-12 continues to prove that it is indeed a roller coaster ride. Last Friday, it was the Sun Devils beating the #2 Arizona Wildcats. This past week, those very same Wildcats swept a road trip to both Utah and Colorado, while the Sun Devils fell flat on their face, losing to both.
Does a blowout loss like this deal a significant blow to Arizona State's NCAA Tournament hopes? More than likely not. Where it does come into play, is the PAC-12 Tournament. Each team in the top-4 ranked spots of the conference get a bye, which would be beneficial to a squad like the Sun Devils who would rather leave nothing to chance and just find their way to the dance with an automatic qualifier berth from winning the tournament in Vegas.
Before the enticing Vegas strip can light up their eyes, they have a vital two-game home stand to take care of this upcoming week.
On Wednesday night, they welcome in the Stanford Cardinal (18-8, 9-5) of Palo Alto, California to Wells Fargo Arena at 9 PM for what should be a collision of two teams destined for the big dance. The two met on the first of this month of February with the Cardinal coming out on top by a score of 76-70, but by no means dominating the game.
For this upcoming home series, ASU will desperately be looking to build some momentum heading into March and avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season.

moreThe story of Gilgamesh, an ancient epic poem written on clay tablets in a cuneiform alphabet, is as fascinating and moving as it is crucial to our ability to fathom the time and the place in which it was written. Gardner's version restores the poetry of the text and the lyricism that is lost in the earlier, almost scientific renderings. The principal theme of the poem is a familiar one: man's persistent and hopeless quest for immortality. It tells of the heroic exploits of an ancient ruler of the walled city of Uruk named Gilgamesh. Included in its story is an account of the Flood that predates the Biblical version by centuries. Gilgamesh and his companion, a wild man of the woods named Enkidu, fight monsters and demonic powers in search of honor and lasting fame. When Enkidu is put to death by the vengeful goddess Ishtar, Gilgamesh travels to the underworld to find an answer to his grief and confront the question of mortality.

"You think the only the people who are people
are the people who look and think like you.
But you walk the footsteps of a stranger
you may learn things you never knew, never knew."
I never lost as much but twice,
And that was in the sod.
Twice have I stood a beggar
Before the door of God!
Angels—twice descending
Reimbursed my store—
Burglar! Banker—Father!
I am poor once more!
IT dropped so low in my regard
I heard it hit the ground,
And go to pieces on the stones
At bottom of my mind;
Yet blamed the fate that fractured, less
Than I reviled myself
For entertaining plated wares
Upon my silver shelf.
I took my Power in my Hand -
And went against the World -
'Twas not so much as - David had -
But I - was twice as Bold -
I aimed by Pebble - but Myself
Was all the one that fell -
Was it Goliath - was too large
Or was Myself - too small?

Help Sesame Street reach a billion views on YouTube
Saeed Saeed | February 16, 2013
Sesame Street is set to reach 1 billion views on You Tube.
The American children�s program, whose YouTube channel at the time of print garnered over 978 million views, is launching a campaign to reach the milestone.
On last Thursday�s episode the character Telly Monster urged viewers to keep that Youtube clicker ticking with a �top secret video to be unveiled� once the show reaches the one billion mark.
Terry Fitzpatrick, executive vice president of content and distribution for Sesame Workshop - the program�s production company - says the show's continued popularity is down to it�s accessibilty on multiple viewing platforms.
�We have this theory that if we get content on multiple platforms and devices, it gives kids and families a chance to reinforce and experience the curriculum multiple times,� he told the Associated Press.
�It blows me away to think about how popular and strong a platform (YouTube) has become for us.�
Since it�s debut on the American network PBS in 1970, Sesame Street has continued to enchant generations of children globally.
The program�s YouTube channel was launched in 2006 with program snippets as well as guest musical performances including Will.i.am and Adam Sandler.
The channel�s most popular video is Elmo�s Song which clocked over 86 million views.
YouTube strategic partner manager Caitlin Hendrickson praised the program for it�s innovative use of the site.
�(Sesame Street) is proof of their outstanding leadership in this space and their creative use of YouTube,� she said.

Miyake's-What's With $25 pp Minimum?
Called Miyake in Portland for resv, and was told I could only make one before 6:30, so I made it for 6:00 for party of 2. After taking my name, and phone number, the man explained that since he was making a resv for us we would have to spend a minimum of $25 per person. He had a Japanese accent, so I assumed I had misunderstood and asked him to repeat it. Said the we'd each have to spend $25,for a total of at least $50. Have any other hounds had this experience? We've dined there twice before and loved it, but don't remember being asked to guarentee what we would spend! Never heard of having a minimum because you made a reservation!! And, at 6:00pm . . . And, if we were walk ins there would be no minimum. Hmmmm, wonder if our bill comes to $47.50 if he'll round it up to $50?? Thoughts?
We love Miyake. This is big city sushi, and probably on the cheap. You won't have any trouble spending $50 there, and you'll want desert after.
re: gryphonskeeper
We went last nite, and did have a terrific meal. But, I agree, while most restaurants are now offering 1/2 portions and light meals in an effort to make dining out more affordable, Miyake's is setting a min purchase price. Everyone around us at the restaurant clearly ordered far more than the min. Wonder why they felt they have to have that policy? Maybe because they are small and do not have a liquer license, they don't want anyone taking up a table to order appetizers?? But, strange if you are a walk in there is no min, only for those who take the time to make a resv.
On another note, we've been to Miyake's several times, but this is the first time they've had a printed menu. Sad to see 2 of our favs didn't make it to menu - crunchy, spicy roll (which was rolled in black sesame) and the seaweed salad (just seaweed, no other greens - was terrific). But, menu certainly did offer a selection of items we liked, and our meals were excellent. I had the 20 piece selection of nigiri, and husband had a special of broiled lobster, crabmeat and scallops.
This is pretty typical in bigger city restaurants with minimal seating. Masa is merely watching his bottom line. In fact, I'm sure most restaurants would love to have this rule.
We went the other night and made reservations and were told about the $25 minimum ahead of time. The place is so small and they were turning people away on a Mon. night. Maybe the minimum prevents people from taking up a table and ordering a tuna roll and water and sitting there for 2 hours.
LOVE Miyake. Worth every penny. We ate there last week and had the 7 course tasting and ate food rarely found in Maine. So creative, fresh, and served by professionals.
As some others have responded, it's because the seating is so limited, they need to ensure that they get top dollar (or minimum dollar) for the prime real estate (seating). If you have worked in a restaurant, you would know about the all too common no-shows/late-shows/lingerers/malingeres, etc. I think it's a brilliant policy and no one that I know who has eaten there has been disappointed.
