|The Mayne Event
By Darren Rovell
Page 2
Now we're going to change all that.
Assuming all goes well, ESPN's Kenny Mayne will play a part in four different events from the four major sports in four different cities in a single day. And as Kenny's "4Play Tour" makes its way from city to city, coast to coast, ESPN.com will give you the behind-the-scenes play-by-play, live, as it happens.
As Kenny says, "Who wouldn't want to do what we're doing? Now hopefully you'll be able to live this adventure through us."
Kenny's journey will start shortly after 11 a.m. ET on Sunday in the Theatre at Madison Square Garden, where he will deliver the card revealing the first pick of the second day of the draft -- the Cincinnati Bengals' fourth round selection -- to Gene Washington, the NFL's director of operations. After the moment is captured live on ESPN, Kenny will depart by helicopter for a short trip to a nearby airport. Less than 30 minutes later, he'll fly to Boston and arrive at the FleetCenter in time to catch some fourth quarter action of Game 4 between the Celtics and the Indiana Pacers.
Kenny will suit up with the towel boys and do a little sweat-mopping when needed, with an ESPN2 audience watching. Then it's back to the airport for the trek to Anaheim, save the little fuel stop in either Kansas or Nebraska. We'll catch a couple pitches of the Angels-Red Sox game at Edison International, where those watching ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" telecast will be able to see Kenny on the field as a batboy or ballboy. Then it's a quick turnaround as he will head to Vancouver, aiming to be present for part of Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal between the Canucks and the Minnesota Wild -- viewers might be able to catch him on ESPN2 working with the ice crew.
While Kenny says he obviously wants to be noticed, he says he doesn't want to stand out too much as he goes about accomplishing his tasks.
"I'm not there to interfere," he says. "I'm just going to try to blend in with the environment as much as I can.
Kenny says the toughest part of the trip could be going through customs once arriving in Vancouver.
"They could be our greatest enemy. Believe it or not, I've never traveled overseas, so I don't even have a passport."
Instead, he will be required to bring a birth certificate with a raised seal.
"I just found it and the seal is definitely raised," says Kenny. "I hope they think it's raised high enough to pass through."
Kenny says he is preparing to eat a very big breakfast just in case he doesn't have time to eat.
"The goal is to store food like a sports camel because one thing is clear," he says. "Eating is definitely not on our itinerary."

A raw incoming (received) Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) waveform typically exhibits a stretched and relatively featureless character, e.g., the LiDAR signal is smeared and the effective spatial resolution decreases. This is attributed to a fixed time span allocated for detection, the sensor's variable outgoing pulse signal, receiver impulse response, and system noise. Theoretically, such a loss of resolution can be recovered by deconvolving the system response from the measured signal. In this paper, we present a comparative controlled study of three deconvolution techniques, namely, Richardson-Lucy, Wiener filter, and nonnegative least squares, in order to verify which method is quantitatively superior to others. These deconvolution methods were compared in terms of two use cases: 1) ability to recover the true cross-sectional profile of an illuminated object based on the waveform simulation of a virtual 3-D tree model and 2) ability to differentiate herbaceous biomass based on the waveform simulation of virtual grass patches. All the simulated waveform data for this study were derived via the "Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation" radiative transfer modeling environment. Results show the superior performance for the Richardson-Lucy algorithm in terms of small root mean square error for recovering the true cross section, low false discovery rate for detecting the unobservable local peaks in the stretched raw waveforms, and high classification accuracy for differentiating herbaceous biomass levels.

Robert B. Parker 2003 Interview
Early Autumn introduces us to an unlovely kid, Paul, who keeps turning up in later Spenser books. Thanks to Spenser, he becomes a fine young man. In Pastime, here's what he says about his childhood:
"My childhood memories are almost empty of him."
"What are they full of?" I asked….
"Fear," Paul said. "Fear of being left. I was thin and whiny and had colds all the time and I used to cling to my mother like a cold sore. She couldn't stand it. She'd try to get me away from her so she could breathe and of course the more she tried the more I clung."
Is Paul like the young you?
No, I wasn't that kind of kid. I was very fond of my mother as a child, but come puberty, I was anxious to distance myself. She was a smothering Irish mother.
Well, you capture Paul beautifully.
What's compelling is not what I know; it's that I was able to say it in such a way that you liked it. The real answer is, I don't know what I'm doing. I type. We all know less about this craft than we say we do.
Your mother was Irish. What about your father?
Yankee. Parkers were here–here being Belfast, Maine–before the Revolutionary War. But there's very little ethnic charge in being Yankee. So I write Irish. And I look Irish.
What kind of lives did they lead?
My father was an executive with the phone company; my mother was a housewife. He was a very good father. My mother was complicated, difficult, and drank too much. I was an only child.
What kind of kid were you?
A model child until puberty; then an acting-out adolescent. I started to drink at 14, got into fistfights, was generally obstreperous, and was in frequent trouble at school.
Then how did you get into Colby College?
My father went to Colby–that's how I got in. I graduated in the bottom quarter of my class.
Ah, but they like me now. The pleasure of going back with the girl of my dreams to the college that spurned me. I used to fantasize about that as an adolescent. I always wanted to be a writer … and to be Joan's husband.
If you don't do research, how did you get to understand messed-up kids so well?
Neither of my two sons was messed up in Paul's way, but when one of them throws a tantrum, you understand tantrums. Just like one punch in the mouth will tell you all you need to know about violence. I mean it when I say I don't do research.
Then how did you learn to speak street slang so well in Double Deuce?
"We used to standing around," Major said. "Stand around a lot. Stand around sell some sub."
"What kind of sub you sell?" Hawk said.
"Grain, grass, classic, Jock, motor, harp, what you need is what we got."
Hawk looked at me.
"Grass," he said. "Rock cocaine, regular powdered coke, heroin." He looked at Major. "What's motor? Speed?"
I made it up. I don't know those words, and if I did, by the time they appeared in the book, they'd be out of date, anyway. So I made them up.
How do you think your work will be viewed in 50 years?
Don't know, don't care. I think I'm pretty good, that I write pretty well. Bart Giamatti [ex-Yale president, ex-baseball commissioner] said I write better about love and sweat than anyone else. I think he was right.
You were an academic, yet you excoriate academics in The Godwulf Manuscript and Hush Money. Any possible connection?
Sure. You occasionally find a really great professor. But many of the academics I meet are the worst people in the world. They don't care about kids or writing or teaching, only about tenure and promotion. They're awful.
You've been awarded the Grand Master Award by Mystery Writers of America. But you're not really a mystery writer. What kind of writer are you?
I'm a novelist; I write novels. It's convenient for everybody but the writer to categorize writing: readers know what they like, bookstores know where to shelve them, reviewers can slot them. But it's irrelevant to me. Dostoyevsky also wrote crime novels. I'm trying to do what Faulkner or Fitzgerald tried to do. They just did it better. We're all trying to tell a compelling story.
What's next?
I have a long-term project, a novel about Jackie Robinson. It will take me four or five years. After Jackie is done, assuming I live to be 100, I'm going to write a novel about Ned Poins from Henry IV. He makes his appearance, then just disappears. I think, whatever happened to old Ned?
What do you think accounts for the success of the Spenser novels?
Don't know. But people like heroes. Spenser cannot be bought by sex or fear or money. He's serious but not anguished.

Envia Systems – When Hype Becomes Deception 43 commentsMar 1, 2012 3:02 AM
Regular readers know that I frequently condemn excessive hype from companies that are just starting down the road to commercialization on innovative battery technologies. This week we saw another fine example of a company that was so busy trying to create a buzz that the truth got kicked under the electric bus.
On February 27th, privately held Envia Systems announced that cells using their proprietary technology had "achieved the highest recorded energy density of 400 Watt-hours/kilogram (Wh/kg) for a rechargeable lithium ion cell." Further review of the press release and hyperlinks made it clear that the tested cells were first generation prototypes made by a contract manufacturer. I was impressed enough to dig a bit deeper to see whether Envia might be a company worth following.
When I landed on their "Company" page (hat tip to SA user wtblanchard), I was surprised to see the following graphic that purported to show Envia's ranking on the Lux Research Innovation Grid.
I wasn't surprised that Envia used the Lux graphic, but I was shocked that that they altered it first. I wouldn't have even noticed if I hadn't used the same graphic in a recent article titled "Lithium-ion Battery Stocks: Investment Opportunities or Subsidized Laggards?" The original from Lux follows.
What our friends at Envia did was take the center of the graph, renumber the scale and present it as the competitive universe, cutting out both CALB and LG Chem in the process.
I understand the difference between hype and deception. I'm saddened to learn that Envia Systems does not. While they have since taken the altered graphic down, this is an incident I'll long remember.
I've archived a screen print of the offending Envia "Company" page in my iCloud public folder.Back To John Petersen's Instablog HomePage »

Hat tip goes to wtblanchard on this particular discovery.
The *technology* is an advanced form of laboratory prototype that was manufactured by somebody else.
2. "Kapadia estimated it will take five to six years to get a full battery pack with the entire 400W/kg system."
Of course cell level density is not the same as pack level density, I don't see where they claimed otherwise. Even if they come in closer to 300 at reduced costs it's still a big deal. Then there is this:
"Envia is certainly out in front, but a walk around the Showcase floor at ARPA-E proves that there are a lot of other promising transportation energy storage technologies, including 10 funded by ARPA-E's BEEST program, which are hoping to be the next happy story of Energy Innovation Summit 2013."
I've never claimed progress can't happen. What I keep telling readers is that progress is slow and painful and breathless announcements of 400 Wh/kg that pretend to describe current reality as opposed to something that may exist five to ten years down the road are dishonest.
Envia has a SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT, not a PRODUCT. A glorified lab prototype is never HERE and pretending otherwise is insanity. Until it is manufactured at commercial scale and proven its PERFORMANCE, ABUSE TOLERANCE, CYCLE LIFE and COST it is not and cannot be spoken of as a product, unless of course the speaker is a bald faced liar.
Envia's IP technology is adjacent to Nissan's.
More hype than that.
These are very early stage prototypes and there's usually a lot of improvement along the development path. Since I learned ages ago that drilling down deeply into performance issues on particular battery chemistries is a great way to get out of my depth, I try to avoid making technical observations. I certainly appreciate your thoughts though.
I think it is a sad commentary on Envia's management that they would plagiarize Lux Research's work and alter it as if it was Lux's characterization of their battery's development potential.
"The testing of Envia's next-‐generation lithium-‐ion battery was performed by the Electrochemical Power Systems Department at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Crane, Ind., under the sponsorship of ARPA-‐E."
Hi John, I sent a small mail today but then I saw that you already treat the Envia story. So here's a modified version of my mail.
In the engineering newsletters there is quite some upbeat on the claims from Envia and nobody is criticising them in these media. This made me very very wary. And it is sad that they are doing doubtful claims as you show from your evidence. What is their motivation to do so, after all investors are not uninformed neither are they stupid. So, are they trying to keep their financiers of today happy? What do they really own? Are they running on Argonne's patents, a 4M$ grant FY 2010, and investors including Asahi Glass and GM and a couple of venture capital companies?
They claim they can reach 400 Wh/kg of gross capacity in a lithium ion battery, doubling the classical Lithium-cobalt-oxide / carbon system's peak capacity of about 200 Wh/kg. When you look through the slits of your eyes you would be tempted to believe that a battery cost which would be halved with big consequences for the battery cost in a plugin hybrid car or EV. GM is not reaching its targets with their Volt sales at all because of the cost of the battery compared to the performance offered. On our way to Utopia, the doubling the capacity of a battery without doubling the size weight and price for the consumer would greatly lighten our burden.
When calculating the capacity of a battery you have two entities: mass normalised charge capacity expressed in mAh/g, and electrochemical potential in Volt. to multiply the electrochemical discharge voltage (V) with the discharge current capacity (mAh/g) to get the power density (mWh/g) which equates to the Wh/kg. The total battery current capacity Ct equates to Ct = 1/(1/Ca + 1/Cc + 1/Qm) where Ca is the current capacity of anode in mAh/g, Cc is that of the cathode and Qm is capacity due to the rest of the construction i.e. electrolyte, separator, current collectors, casing, and reserve active material in the battery. Typical cells for laptops and handheld gadgets are based on carbon anode / LiCoO2 cathode on aluminium and a lithium ionic fluid electrolyte, and they have capacities of 370, 135 and 130 respectively which leads to a net Ct of about 55 mAh/g. Using a electrochemical potential of 3.7 V we have ~205 Wh/kg on the cell level.
A packaged battery with many cells, thermal control system, and charge/discharce cell balancing electronics adds weight and reduces the net capacity which then reaches then about 120 - 160 Wh/kg in laptops and smartphones and more to the area of 80 - 100 Wh/kg in the automobile systems.
I have been reading into the silicon anode technology which is the key of the Envia story, and for as far I can understand is that they have indeed reached something which is predicted in scientific literature. Clearly, they demonstrated successfully a combination of a battery anode with silicon/carbon nano tubes in combination with a cathode in the form of "pouch" packed batteries. But, when charging a battery the lithium moves from cathode to the anode and the silicon transforms into a silicon-lithium alloy. The swell of this alloy is a staggering 4x when fully reaching its potential of Li22Si5 (allowing world record anode material though). The reacheable capacity of alloying is much less, i.e. about 1/4 of that of the ultimate value but still causing high level of swelling i.e. about 60%. The stress causes the silicon alloy to fracture and the battery loses a lot of capacity (30 - 70%) already in the first few charging cycles. From literature I understand that the swelling may be absorbed by creating silicon/carbon material where the silicon is structured in nano sized hollow tubes, and swelling seems to take place such the the material is mainly expanding inside the tubes, reducing the interior volume, without significantly expanding at the outside diameter. The tube length change which also adds to the structural stress is not clear to me yet. So, if this is their tech trick then it can we worth looking at.
At least they seem to survive a few hundred cycles (i.e. less than 5% of the required cycling) but it starts to become technically interesting. However real batteries have more requirements. They are, I quote from a good review article of Kasavajjula et al, "constant volume devices that are constrained by non-yielding outer containers and the inside is essentially non-compressible", and swelling is therefore a big issue. So when Envia shows pouch cells it is by definition not a battery. It is a technology demonstrator for the anode/cathode combination and many years away from a product in your car, or more practically your lawn mower.
My conclusion is that we shall follow the progress of science on the material side in particular. If the material science yields mechanically stable battery materials that allow charging, i.e. alloying, silicon with lithium without pulverising it under its own stress when doing so then we have a first step. Then looking at the technology for producing nano carbon tubes it may indeed be well possible to produce by tweaked processes from ordinary chemical industries the silicon nano tubes (why else is Asahi Glass interested?). If these conditions are met then we have the first step in the diversification of our transport fuel systems moving from the initial stage of the hype cycle into a "slope of enlightenment" as Gartner tells us.

Hi John Thanks for quick reacion. So wait and see. But what is the role of the japanse investors in this company then. Are they just parking pension fees or are they part of their knowledge chain? i.e. are they supplying input like patents etc on silicon nano tube production and application?
Regards Henk
The Japanese are critical players in lithium-ion battery manufacturing technology. If you think back the industry got its start in Asia because cheap portable electronics needed better batteries. When it comes to making manufacturing equipment and components for lithium-ion battery plants, the Japanese are the only game in town. Without technical manufacturing expertise from Japan, Envia is just another science fair project.
I saw that and was very glad I copied the original while it was still on line. I've got a great working relationship with Lux, as so many others, but they're real sticklers for making sure that people who use their materials use them as published and without alteration.
Excellent data and realities. The Lithium batteries improve at a real world rate of 5% or so a year. That's not bad and when you take life cycle costs it's even better than any other battery chemistry.
I am hoping that Honda's Hydrogen fuel cell will bring us into the EV generation. Particularly their (Honda's) unit that converts natural gas to hydrogen. The unit purports to be an 'at-home' garage device that could be used in any present day gasoline station - probably in a larger size. Perhaps it could someday extract sufficient hydrogen from water. That would prove there is a G-d, since that Arabs largely live in desert waterless areas.
From someone with direct, prior experience with this executive team, fact-less hype is something that you learn to expect. Can't help but wonder why those smart investors don't see the fantastic clothes on the Emperor. Perhaps a case of really wanting to believe in the story that one knows to be too good to be true. Only if they had Googled the players here before getting involved...
All of the above proves Shai Agassi's point that the EV can succeed if you separate the car from the battery on the financial level. Anyone investing in the battery of today will have an obsolete car in 2 or five or ten years. While a car with a swap-able battery may actually improve performance over time, something impossible for the ICE car.
By transitivity any company investing in a swappable battery today will have an obsolete inventory in two or five or ten years, and they'll be forced into bankruptcy because their foolish spending on soon to be obsolete batteries left them no other path.
Just cause a cell is made by a contract manufacturer in China, under full control of the parent company, to its exact specifications but done out of country to reduce costs does not disqualify the results of the tests. Your missing the point and your dead wrong in your assertions. I've seen these cells on a Maccor and they perform even better than the hype.
Thanks so much for posting this! They now seem close to bankruptcy:

Sacramento has finally secured its first trip to the WNBA Finals. Now, Ticha Penicheiro just hopes to play in the championship series.
Penicheiro missed both games of the Western Conference Finals after suffering a severely sprained left ankle in practice last Tuesday. But the Monarchs' point guard is hopeful she'll see plenty of playing time come Wednesday once the WNBA Finals open in Connecticut.
"I'm optimistic that I'll be able to play," Penicheiro said late Saturday after the Monarchs capped their Western Conference Finals sweep of Houston with a 74-65 victory. After three previous failed attempts, the Monarchs reached the WNBA Finals for the first time.
Still, there's some concern that Penicheiro's being over-positive. Though a week will have passed since the injury once Game 1 tips off, she couldn't bear weight on the ankle for two days. Though she's walking pain-free now, the ankle was still fairly tender when she ran on it Saturday morning.
The biggest red flag, however, occurred when Penicheiro attempted to shoot a free throw.
"When I went to bend my knee," Penicheiro said, "a sharp pain shot up the inside of my ankle."
Like most athletes, Penicheiro has sprained her ankle numerous times over the course of her career. Playing through similar injuries is something Penicheiro is "just used to," but usually, she says, the pain is "not this bad."
Penicheiro will continue the rehab process over the next few days, but keep in mind a coast-to-coast flight -- Connecticut hosts Games 1 and 2 before the series moves to Sacramento for Game 3 on Sept. 18, which marks Penicheiro's 31st birthday -- will only bring on more swelling to the ankle.
Prior to the injury, Penicheiro was playing some of the best basketball -- especially offensively -- of her eight-year WNBA career. In the regular season, she shot 31.4 percent from the field and averaged 5.7 points, 4.4 assists and 2.9 rebounds. But she doubled her scoring production in the first round, averaging 11 points on 53.8 accuracy (7-for-13). Penicheiro's also dished out 7.5 assists and grabbed 4.5 boards per game in Sacramento's two-game sweep of Los Angeles.
Most notably, Penicheiro was playing very aggressively and looking to get to the rim every time she had the ball, which hasn't been a typical mindset in her game over the years.
Because of her excellent defensive abilities, Penicheiro was expected to guard Houston's Sheryl Swoopes in the West finals. Instead, Sacramento reserve Kara Lawson, a natural off-guard, took Penicheiro's place in the starting lineup and put together some of her best performances of the season.
Stopping Connecticut point guard Lindsay Whalen will be one of the Monarchs' key concerns, and when healthy, Penicheiro is the perfect defensive matchup. Whalen's at her best when she's able to penetrate inside and get her hips and shoulders square toward the basket. But Penicheiro, who has excelled defensively in coach John Whisenant's system, is strong enough to keep Whalen out of the paint, quick enough to keep up with her in the open court and long enough to contest Whalen's shots.
Either way, both players are two of the best passers in the game, and a Penicheiro-Whalen matchup could be one of the best, most entertaining one-on-one battles of the postseason.

from his upcoming sixth studio album "X" which is scheduled for 2013. The single, produced by
Leon Youngblood Jr. ("RoccStar") and G'harah "PK" Degeddingseze, was released on April 1,
While giving the single and the accompanying video a general good reception, the critics
couldn't help marking the heavy resemblance of Brown's sound as well as outfit and general
image to Michael Jackson of "Smooth Criminal" and "Beat It" period, with lighter inspirations
from Prince, Sam Cooke and Phil Collins. Brown confirms that the King of Pop has always been
his biggest muse.
Talking about the video, which Brown co-directed together with Sylvain White, he revealed that
he wanted to go "more cinematic" and unleash the entertaining aspect. He also claimed that he
is a big cinema lover. The plot of the video revolves around a forbidden love between Brown's
character and an Asian girl, whose father chases them down. Once again Brown heavily borrows
from Michael Jackson in his dance-moves-cum-fighting-skills while showing his date the city
night life and protecting her from her father's goons. Summarizing the video, Brown said: "It's
comparing a woman to how priceless and delicate she is."

To the Editor:
—The signs described by Dr. Carman in his article on the "Radiologic Signs of Duodenal Ulcer," (The Journal, March 28, 1914, p. 980), constitute merely a symptom-complex. In the author's own words, they are "signs" or symptoms, and not direct evidence of the lesion itself. Radiologic signs and symptom-complexes for duodenal ulcer are as numerous and varied as the observers who describe them. Compare Dr. Carman's "radiologic signs" with the symptom-complexes described by Holzknecht, Strauss and Kreuzfuchs, and if you think that they agree as to the significance of the various phenomena, read Holzknecht's and Haudek's latest article in the Fortschritte auf dem Gebiete der Roentgenstrahlen (xxi, 633).Dr. Carman's three "major signs" are trifling compared with the direct evidence which he relegates to the third place under "minor signs." All of the cases illustrating his article present definite direct evidence of the irregularities characteristic of ulcer

My employer uses Lync for all of our desk phones, and one of the features of Lync is that you can set your phone number to forward to another, say your cell or home phone.
To do so, you have to click on a dumb little icon in the lower left corner of the window, and select that from a (short) menu (one menu entry prompts you for a phone number, if you don't have one set).
Is there any way to script that functionality, either on a computer with or without Lync installed? Ideally, there's some perl module that can fake this (when provided with a username/password)... but if it was a windows bat script that only worked if the machine had Lync installed I could make use of that too.
I poked around in the DLLs that Lync uses, hoping I could cobble something together with rundll32.exe, but it's a maze of twisty passages. If there is a management web page that Lync server allows someone to change that stuff from, our server admins never installed it.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Editor's note: As the NCAA celebrates its 25th season of women's basketball, ESPN and ESPN.com count down the top 25 moments of NCAA Tournament history. Here, we continue the countdown with memorable NCAA moment No. 10, Tennessee's improbable run to the 1997 national title after losing 10 regular-season games.
They were the defending NCAA champions, and with Chamique Holdsclaw on board for her sophomore season, the Lady Vols had high hopes for the 1996-97 season.
But Tennessee quickly learned that the season would be more of an emotional roller-coaster ride than magical.
Just four games in, the Lady Vols suffered their first loss, 66-64, at Louisiana Tech. Five games later, they dropped back-to-back contests -- which was just as rare then as it is now for Pat Summitt's teams -- to Georgia and Stanford. When it happened again in early January, in losses to Connecticut and Old Dominion, Tennessee fell to 11-6 overall -- and out of the top 10 rankings for the first time since 1986.
Over the final month and a half of the regular season, Tennessee made more history -- and not the kind you brag about. The Lady Vols lost to Arkansas and Florida for the first time in program history, dropped another pair of back-to-back games and, for the first time, failed to qualify for a bye in the opening round of the SEC tournament, which they were eliminated from in the semifinals.
But, amazingly, it was their last loss of the season.
After losing 10 regular-season games -- Tennessee's most defeats in a season in 11 years -- the third-seeded Lady Vols beat their first four NCAA Tournament foes, including a 10-point win over previously undefeated and top-seeded Connecticut in the Elite Eight, by an average of 20 points.
Just reaching the Final Four in Cincinnati was an accomplishment, and even something Summitt wasn't expecting. As noted in Sports Illustrated that year, Summitt "usually buys her Final Four outfit by January, [but] didn't make this year's purchase until March 25," the day after the win over UConn. "Shopping had to be put on hold as the team negotiated an unfamiliar landscape of injuries and individual and collective funks."
But everything came together at the right time, though Tennessee still was far from the favorite. No. 1 seed Stanford, which faced Old Dominion in the other national semifinal, had won 32 straight games. The Lady Monarchs, another 1-seed, were 29-1.
While Tennessee had an easy time in its Final Four matchup against sixth-seeded Notre Dame, winning 80-66, ODU came from behind and needed overtime to eliminate Stanford, 83-82.
The next day, on March 30, 1997, Tennessee and Old Dominion clashed for the second time that season. Nearly three months earlier, ODU had scored an 83-72 win at home over the Lady Vols. But their NCAA title game meeting would end differently.
Tennessee raced to a 15-point lead, only to fall behind with 9 minutes to play as ODU rallied for a 44-43 advantage. That's when Chamique Holdsclaw heated up and the Lady Monarchs seemed to lose a little steam. ODU extended the lead to two points, 49-47, before Holdsclaw ignited the Lady Vols on a 12-2 run that sealed it. In the end, Tennessee captured the program's fifth national title with a 68-59 win.
"Of all our runs to a championship, this one is really the most unexpected," Summitt said. "It came from a team with tremendous heart and desire."
The Lady Vols became the second team in women's NCAA history to win two straight titles, the first team with more than six losses to win the championship and helped Summitt pass Kentucky's Adolph Rupp for second place for most career NCAA titles.
Holdsclaw was a unanimous choice for the Final Four most outstanding player honor, tallying 24 points on 11-for-20 shooting and seven rebounds. Another sophomore, guard Kellie Jolly, set a championship game-record with 11 assists and a Final Four-record 20 dishes.
Summitt wound up in a white pantsuit that day. And to celebrate their win, the Lady Vols wound up doing the long-forgotten centipede on their bellies across the court, which to this day is almost as memorable as Tennessee overcoming 10 losses to win it all.
Click here to see when the next memorable moment will air in our countdown.

Ahhh, the memories that evoked. A story, bare with me. The summer before my junior year in HS my mom moved us from our very small, quiet, IL town in the middle of the corn to a large city in Florida. Needless to say this was a very major transition in the life of our family, especially this shy introvert of a gay boy. Being sheltered and in an unfamiliar environment I stayed close to my family, which meant attending my little (later to be a lesbian) sister's basketball games. Now I had seen her games before in IL, but I was never prepared for what happened in FLA. You see, before then girls basketball (and boys too) was played by nice, polite, repressed little catholic and protestant farm-town white kids. Now I was faced with very outspoken, in your face, urban black and latina girls in action. They. Were. Fabulous. As a little gay boy I loathed sports, but I never missed a girls basketball game again. It was mesmerizing. Literally. The energy was amazing. The taunts, the jeers, the cheers, the attitude, the sheer joy of it all.
It made me realize that sport wasn't just about hot, but stupid and unattainable, high school boys and their stupid jock attitudes. Anyone's 'tude could be put out there if you had the guts. Go girls!
You want girls who have skills, are goofy, bratty, cocky and court bruises and broken bones, check out the rat city rollergirls.
and she scored 48 points w/8 assists and an unreal amount of rebounds. tall, strong and a sweet jumper. she did a couple of finger rolls that reminded me of dr. j.

"Katahdin - Appalachian Trail's Northern Teminus" Top 5 Page for this destination Millinocket by jackfruit
Millinocket Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 21 photos
Elevation: 5267', 1605m
Range: Longfellow Mountains, part of the Appalachian Mountains
Country: United States
State: Maine
County: Piscataquis
Nearest Towns: Millinocket, 22 miles SE
Ownership: Baxter State Park
Latitude: 45� 54' N
Longitude: 68� 55' W
Situated in Northern Maine, Mt. Katahdin (5267ft) is Maine's most famous mountain, and means "Sacred Mountain" in the local Indian tongue. Mt. Katahdin lies within the Baxter State Park in Maine and can be accessed by road from Millinocket, Maine. Because of the restricted day use laws in Baxter State Park, you have to get there very early (as early as 4:00am on busy weekend days in the summer) to get a day use permit.
This mountain is famous for it's Knife Edge trail which is a ridge trail about 3-4 ft wide at it's widest and has sheer drops from 800-3000 ft on either side. So this is not for the faint of heart. This trail is a 1.1 mile exposed ridge between Baxter Peak and Pamola Peak, in the saddle area of Katahdin.
The Helen Taylor (named for a former superintendent of the park) trail is the most popular,and parking for this trail is at Roaring Brook. Once this one fills up (and it does very early), you will be directed to other possible trailheads like the Abol Ridge which we were.
Abol is the steepest trail up Katahdin and gains 4000ft elevation in under 6 miles.
We did the Abol on the way up and the Knife Edge to Helen Taylor on the way down.
There is a hiker's log at Roaring Brook Campground that keeps track of hiker traffic on the mountain.
- Pros:Do the Abol Trail to the summit and Knife Edge back! Challenging and breathtaking views!!
- Cons:Wake yourself up at 4am or earlier to get to Togue Pond Gatehouse to stand a chance of making it in!!
- In a nutshell:She makes you work for it, but its worth it every step of the way!!

Conrad Murray Found Guilty in Death of Michael Jackson

He faces up to four years in jail for involuntary manslaughter.

A Los Angeles jury has found Dr. Conrad Murray guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. After about nine hours of deliberation spread over two days, seven men and five women said Dr. Murray was criminally responsible for the role that the medication he administered played in Jackson's 2009 death. Conrad used the surgical anesthetic propofol to treat the singer's insomnia in what the prosecution called "a pharmaceutical experiment on Michael Jackson ... an obscene experiment." Murray faces up to four years in prison and could lose his medical license. His attorneys said the case should have been handled by the state medical board. "If it were anybody else but Michael Jackson, would this doctor be here today?" the defense argued. "He was just a little fish in a big, dirty pond."

Hi, i have installed word press on HotEnd.com as a trial. I used a plugin that grabs rss feeds from many websites. All feeds are then converted into posts and placed in certain categories. Only problem is that some times the same article/post is filed under multiple categories (in rss feeds) and the plugin imports and creates one post for each one. My question is
How can i delete duplicate posts with the same exact word-to-word title and content, if its possible.
thanks in advance for any help.

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and CURE is committed to raising awareness of childhood cancer through sharing the journeys of the brave children who fight this monster of a disease every day.
"CURE's Kids Conquer Cancer One Day at a Time" is an initiative aimed at the goals of educating and empowering. Each day in September, CURE will highlight a very special child in our CURE family who has been affected by cancer. We will share their stories of diagnosis, treatment, courage. We will share stories of survivorship and loss. We will open and change hearts as we honor and remember our children.
We will also work together to raise money to fight back. With our help, each family participating will attempt to raise a minimum of $1,000. In September 2014, CURE's Kids raised more than $247,000 – all of which was directed toward CURE's 2014-2015 research initiative: specific research projects aimed at improving survival for difficult to cure pediatric cancers. What better way to give meaning to Childhood Cancer Awareness Month than to advance research for cures?
Click below to view our 2015 CURE's Kids. Once there, click each child's name to read their unique story as well as make a donation to their fundraising efforts.

So are you saying alcohol use has been declining?
But hooray for the entrepreneurial spirit!
If only this had been available during my meth using days back in high school. To this day, the thought of the taste of meth dripping down the back of my throat makes me shudder.
In LA recently, "cucumber flavored cocaine" was the talk of the town.
They are having a tough time selling this product, especially to young people. What do people in marketing do when they have a tough time selling a product? They have to come up with some sort of gimmick.
One technique popular in marketing departments is working with a large newspaper to work one of your press releases into a feature article. Is that's what's going on here? Why is USA Today marketing meth?
Let me know when they invent meth that tastes like pussy.
Kids have been shooting up with meth mixed up with Gatorade forever. The "vapours" , the part you cough out after you slam it, are flavoured like Lemon Ice, etc...
Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Co were all big on Strawberry Quik flavored Cocaine a while back. Once again they are trend setters.
Sweet -- another unsubstantiated drug rumor perpetuated by the federal government and USA Today! It seems like just yesterday maternity wards were littered with crack babies and terrorism was funded by pot smokers...
Meth's a nasty drug, no question there, but the people sounding the "candy-flavored meth" alarm are a DEA spokesperson and Scott Burns, "deputy drug czar for state, local and tribal affairs for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy." When it comes to the realities of drug use, these guys are less credible than tweakers.
How do they reach their conclusion? Here we go: "A patrol officer who stopped a car on Feb. 13 in a rural area of Greene County, Mo., seized a bag of 'strawberry meth' from a female passenger, says Capt. Randy Gibson of the Greene County Sheriff's Department. The seized drug had a slight strawberry smell to it, he said."
So we're supposed to believe there's a concerted nationwide efforts to lure kids into snorting meth because a rural cop confiscated a bag of speed from a female passenger (and women never wear fruity scents that rub off on their stuff) and he thought it smelled slightly of berries... Oh, jeez.
If this bag of meth really was strawberry scented, it hardly constitutes an epidemic, as the article claims. Until we read some credible evidence, from people who know what they're talking about, this looks like more hype.
Amen to Fnarf at #4, I heard this report on the news last night and it sounded like an advertisement for all the kids out there that like the drug, but not the taste. What better way to sound the alarm about a nasty drug than to let everyone know that if they mix it with candy it'll be easier to do... The news report showed someone pouring a bunch of different flavored powders- candy, drink mix, etc. onto a silver platter as they talked about it. By the end of the report I was just about ready to go buy some tweak and a pack of candy to see what all the hype was about. Go America!
Yes, but Dan! Your tech-savvy at-risk youth are killing me, and not with meth--where's today's podcast?
Candy flavored. Well, I suppose that's OK, but I'm not into sweets, what I'd really like is nacho flavored meth, or some cool ranch meth. Now that would be kickin!
I think I have to echo Dominic's sentiments here. Ask yourself this:
1. Why would drug dealers alter their drugs to sell to kids who - presumably - can't afford them?
2. If it's enough meth to kill a child, why give it to them in the first place? It seems to be bad business to kill the people you want to make money from.
The real reason that strawberry meth would (note that's "would" not "does") exist is to appeal to the - for want of a better word - pussier crowd; the same crowd that buys grain alcohol mixed with Kool-Aid (Boone's Farm).
Bring back the Disney stamps with LSD on them.
Reminds me of the Bart Simpson LSD tab "scare" 15 years ago.
According to a local PBS story that centered around the one-time meth capital of Modesto, CA, our idiot drug czar spent more recourses fighting the evils of marijuana smoking and was pretty much the last to get on board in combating meth.
Once meth gets as bad back east as it is here in the west, we'll see a lot more paranoid jounalism like this.
Shit, have folks who believe this ever done meth? I can't imagine there's any possible way to cover that horrible taste.
I'm with Dominic - this sounds like absolute propaganda bullshit to me.
What better way to program the paranoid parents parade then to convince them that they'll lure little Johnny with candy-flavored meth. From the "pot is six(or whatever number you want) times stronger than in the sixties" crowd.
Man, you will never see Pusha and Malice jump the shark with some of that candy flavored biker coke. That's nonsense. Ya boys stay true with them scarface piles on Dove pure. Ask a hipster.
Where on Earth did the clueless come up with the belief that a dealer's prefered customer are kids? I have yet to meet a drug dealer who is willing to sell to kids...and believe me I have met allot over the years. Aside from the fact that kids don't have any money, they are a big security risk. It doesn't take much to scare a kid into telling people where they got the dope from. Where is the logic in trying to get people to believe that dealers are targeting kids? No dealer, no matter how burnt he is, is going to sell dope to someone who is a good risk for spilling the beans.
Spreading paranoid crap like this takes all crediability away from what they are saying...just like Reefer Madness in the 60's. What is this line of bull The traffickers know the word is out about what a horrible drug this is, Burns says. They are having a tough time selling this product, especially to young people. What do people in marketing do when they have a tough time selling a product? They have to come up with some sort of gimmick. Meth is addictive enough for dealers to not have to worry about "new clientel". Unless things have drastically changed in the four years i have been clean, the people I went to couldn't keep up with the demand, no matter how much they had on hand. All that article did was give tweekers another neat idea...I wonder how many of them slapped their forehead and said "Why didn't I think of that?!"
Ummmmmm ..... Ok ... but it seems like everywere I turn it's all about underage drinking and kids getting high off of prescriptions ...
at least on tv ... I have yet to see anything about this !!!... and I agree with ALOT of people posting saying it's BS .. it is ..
wach the TV show the drug years its been on the history chanel and vh1 ... it's a middle of the road view of drugs in the usa ... You all might find it intresting !
What a crock this is. The government never passes up an opportunity to incite mass hysteria when it comes to drugs.
First, there isn't a strawberry on this planet that packs a powerful enough flavor to cover up that of meth- it's 100% often-imitated, never-duplicated ass flavor. Besides, fewer and fewer people are worrying about the taste because more and more people are either smoking or injecting it.
I have seen people who smoke it through a water pipe and put peppermint in the water to give it creative twist. I have also seen Ketamine baked with a cap full of vanilla extract to enhance the smell when you snort it, but Special K doesn't hold a match to the yuck factor of crystal.
This girl had probably hidden her baggy of ice in a pack of Bubble-Yum causing the scent to rub off on it. I can't tell if it is willful deceit or plain stupidity that led someone to assume that a candy-meth conspiracy was upon us. Next thing you know, they will find heroin stuck up someones ass and tell us that new Anal-Flavored-Smack is being marketed to the sexual deviant crowd.
I also agree with Dominic. Since when has ANYONE had trouble getting rid of meth? I mean, one minute they will have us believe that everyone and their mother is smoking meth and the next they are telling us that there is a meth recession. Which is it?
As for selling to kids... 99% of the people I have seen who were stupid enough to sell to kids were... other kids.

Is there an airline offering their First Class passengers an arrival service, where they meet them as the disembark from the plane and escort them though the airport ,ie through customs & immigration, and so on. Making sure they get total service until they get into a limo or whatever? Always treating them as an individual. Is this service available now or should an airline worldwide wake up and smell the coffee.
Just a marketing thought.

My all time favourite purple nail lacquer is Zoya Yasmeen. I do not have a lot of purple in my rather large nail polish collection. I'm not really sure why it's not one of the shades I'm most attracted to in nail polish. I do like purple. Maybe it's just that I have been so madly in love with Zoya Yasmeen for the past few years that I feel there is no competition. My adoration for this shade has not faded over time. It is such a gorgeous rich purple with fine, fiery shimmer that glows in the light. It is truly exquisite. You will
Browsing category: Zoya
Zoya has really outdone themselves with their upcoming Summer 2012 collections. These bright, fun colours have me almost feeling the sand between my toes!Summer 2012 is going to be a super stylish season for nails with the latest offering of nail polish collections, Beach and Surf, from the new color of fashion, Zoya! This new splash of color, designed by the Zoya color experts, is kissed by sea and sand translating beautifully onto the nail in the famous, full-coverage Zoya formula.Dive into the creamy shades of the Zoya Beach
As soon as I saw Karla's picture I knew I had to have Zoya Twila. I left the office about an hour later to pick it up! Twila is from the Zoya Holiday 2011 collection Gems and Jewels. Twila is full of micro glitter as well as bar glitter. The result is AMAZING. The polish actually looks like it is somehow lit from within. Even in a dimly lit room it somehow manages to pick up any small light source in the room and seems to glow. It is breathtaking. Definitely a blingtastic nail polish so don't wear this if you don't wan't attention
I apologize for the sad state of my nails in this pic. I had no sun for days so I ended up taking these pics on day 3 of wear after doing some touch ups when the sun finally showed it's face.I love this colour so much!!! It is a hot corally pink that flashes fuchsia. It SCREAMS summer. I love it so much I had it on last week and then put it on again this week. It also happens to be my current pedi colour ;-)Zoya Sylvie
I apologize for not capturing the true beauty of this polish adequately. I've had no sun for almost a week now and my pictures are suffering for it.To me Zoya Jules is a very unique colour. It appears to be almost a gold toned taupe in some light and in others almost a pewter. I really love the colour although I find it a tad difficult to remove all the micro glitter!Zoya Jules in overcast daylightZoya Jules with flash

However, I'd like to put some ads between the end of my text and the start of the related post list. However, I can't seem to do it. When I put the ads in my single-content.php, the ads end up after the list. How do I put my ads between the post content and the related post list?

Just an update on this tool for people interested and also because I am off to New York for a few days :-)
I got laughed at by a good friend of mine due to its boring name so I had a think and now call the tool SPUM2003 Along the lines of SPIN/SPOUT for SharePoint. Well, that is my rationale for choosing the name.
I have done some more work and now the code operates on WSS site security by Adding, Deleting and Editing users and then displays their details, Alerts, Groups, Cross-Site groups. I have started to make the UI look a bit better and also in the process of enabling Site Group editing/management. Haven't got the SPS Area security bit working but it will shortly.
