STORRS, Conn. — Moriah Jefferson scored 16 points to lead six UConn players in double figures as the second-ranked Huskies followed up a win over top-ranked South Carolina by routing Tulane 87-39 on Saturday.
Morgan Tuck added 14 points for the Huskies (24-1, 13-0 American Athletic Conference) who are poised to take over the No. 1 ranking when the new poll comes out Monday.
Danielle Blagg had 10 points to lead Tulane (19-6, 10-4), which had won three straight and were 8-1 on the road.
It was the first-ever meeting between the two programs, and UConn lead from start to finish.
Kia Nurse scored seven straight points to highlight a 15-0 UConn run that made it 25-4 just under 9 minutes into the game. Some fans began leaving before halftime to beat a snowstorm that was moving into the area.
Nurse had a dozen points, Breanna Stewart chipped in with 11, and Soniya Chong had 10 as UConn shot 48.6 percent from the floor.
The Huskies, who beat the Gamecocks by 25 points on Monday, have been No. 2 for the last 12 weeks since suffering their only loss of the season at Stanford.
They have been beating their conference opponents by just under 50-points a game, have won their last 71 games against unranked teams and their last 31 home games.
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had two 3-pointers during a 10-0 run that opened the game. That gave her 350 for her career. She's just the 15th Division I player to reach that plateau. She was 3 of 7 from behind the arc and finished with nine points.
A 3-pointer by Jefferson gave UConn its first 30-point lead, 42-12 at halftime and the Huskies extended that in the second half.
A jumper by Stewart with more than 14 minutes remaining gave the Huskies a 60-20 lead. A fast-break layup by Chong pushed the lead to 50 at 70-30.
Stewart's 11 points moved her into a tie for 15th place on the school's all-time scoring list with assistant coach Shea Ralph. The sophomore has 1,678 points in just 101 games.
UConn outscored Tulane 48-18 in the paint and outrebounded the Green Wave 45-30.
The Green Wave came into the game ranked 19th in the country in scoring defense, giving up just 55.3 points per game, and had not given up more than 69 points in any game this season. They were facing a Husky team that leads the nation in scoring, and came in averaging 89.4 points. ... Tulane didn't attempt a free throw.
The Huskies honored their 1995 national championship team at halftime, bringing out nine members of the team that went 35-0 to win the first of nine national championships. ...The Green Wave complete their two-game East Coast road trip with a visit to Philadelphia on Tuesday night to take on Temple.

TORINO, Italy – An Austrian ski coach who bolted the Winter Games following a surprise anti-doping raid wound up in a psychiatric hospital — the latest stop on his bizarre flight from Torino, where authorities were still analyzing 100 syringes and other material seized from athletes' housing.
Authorities took Walter Mayer into custody Sunday after he crashed his car into a police blockade 15 miles inside Austria's border with Italy. Police later took him to a psychiatric facility, Austria's ski federation president Peter Schroecksnadel told The Associated Press.
"Apparently he's still in there," Schroecksnadel said Monday night. "I believe that there was a danger of suicide — they had to take him to the hospital."
Mayer was banished from the Olympics over allegations of blood doping at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. He resurfaced with the team in Torino, triggering police raids late Saturday — the first-ever doping sweep by police on athletes competing at the games.
Against the backdrop of the most stringent drug controls in Winter Games history, local authorities seized the syringes and 30 packages of antidepressants and asthma medication, Italian prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello told Austrian television. One Austrian athlete threw a bag out of a window containing needles and medicines as police swarmed the house, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
Schroecksnadel defended the presence of asthma medication, saying as many as five athletes were approved to use it legitimately. He also suggested the materials could be used for innocent purposes, such as injecting vitamins.
"The question is not the number of syringes but what was in them," he said.
Mayer left the Austrian biathlon and cross-country team base in the Italian Alps sometime before or during the overnight raids. He made it back to his native Austria, driving at least 250 miles before he stopped on the side of the road, reportedly to take a nap.
When police officers arrived, Mayer sped away, striking and slightly injuring an officer, police said. Authorities parked an empty police vehicle across the highway as a roadblock, and Mayer slammed into the squad car, totaling both vehicles. He sustained minor injuries.
Police said Mayer refused to take a blood-alcohol test, which an officer requested after Mayer allegedly showed signs of being intoxicated.
Austria's cross-country relay team came in last out of 16 teams the morning after the raids, which kept some of the athletes up all night. No Austrians have won a medal in biathlon or cross-country at these games, but the rest of the country's Olympic delegation rebounded Monday, winning three gold medals and two bronze in Alpine and Nordic events Monday.
Austrian ski officials said they had severed ties with Mayer.
"This is inexcusable," said Schroecksnadel. "Whoever does such a thing can no longer be a model" for athletes.
"We suspended him even before we found out he was in the hospital," he said.
Austrian prosecutor Gottfried Kranz told The AP that police released Mayer early Monday and then made a stop at a hospital psychiatric clinic in the southern city of Klagenfurt. He also said investigators found no illegal substances inside the wreckage of Mayer's car.
Mayer could be charged with evading arrest and causing bodily harm to a police officer, Kranz said. Italian authorities would not seek Mayer's arrest, though they were investigating possible violation of the country's anti-doping laws, said Marcello Maddalena, Torino's chief prosecutor.
During the raids, six skiers and four biathletes were taken for tests by the International Olympic Committee, hours before some were due to compete. The tests were still being analyzed.
Torino's chief prosecutor, Marcello Maddalena, confirmed Monday that Mayer was under investigation for possible violation of Italy's anti-doping laws, which treats doping as a criminal offense. But Maddalena said authorities would not seek Mayer's arrest.
Schroecksnadel confirmed that two biathletes — Wolfgang Perner and Wolfgang Rottmann — were suspended from the team for leaving Torino before the conclusion of the games. Both had finished their events, although Rottmann was available for a relay team.
"We will hold a hearing in Vienna once the Olympics are over," Schroecksnadel said. "It doesn't matter what the IOC findings are, if we find they've done the wrong thing, they'll be banned officially."
Austrian officials said Mayer had been in Italy in a private capacity, but had spent one night in the athletes' accommodation. IOC medical commission chief Arne Ljungqvist said Mayer's presence violated the "spirit" of his Olympic ban.
World Anti-Doping Agency officers recently learned of Mayer's presence at the Olympics and notified the IOC, which in turn tipped off Italian police. The raids signaled a new level of cooperation between Olympic officials and law enforcement authorities in tracking down suspected drug cheats.

XSories Big U-Shot designer selfie-stick
Mar 18, 2015
By Greg Gazin - Apple Gazin' - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- Greg Gazin column archive
It's hard to go anywhere without seeing someone taking a selfie and were seeing more and more people using monopods to help them do the dirty deed. So if you're going to join the crowd and carry one around, it might as well be one that has a long range but also somewhat fashionable just like the XSories Big U-shot Deluxe Leather Telescopic Pole.
Now I have seen many selfie-sticks, but never one that has both a genuine leather leash and a tailor-made matching hand-stitched leather handle, which I have to admit, has a fairly appealing stylish urban look.
The leather handle cover is quite soft, very comfortable to grip and is actually just the right size. The telescopic frame is made of aluminum with a hard anodized finish, which is 29cm long when closed and extends out in four sections to a maximum of 93cm. You extend it by pulling out and turning to the right and to lock it in place simply turn it to the left. When you're done, simply reverse the process.
At the end is an aluminum pivot head ball and thumbscrew that you can which you can use to adjust and tilt the position of the device you want to attach. It also has a standard quarter inch universal screw that plugs into any standard camera thread mount.
The company certainly has paid attention to the overall finish. There are no rough, jagged edges or pieces that extrude unnecessarily. The thumbscrew is solid and does a good job in locking the ball head in place. It's nice to see a ball head other than plastic ones that you often see another selfie-sticks, which can crack on their first day of use.
To make it easier to carry around, the matching leather leash strap has a key ring in on it with a small threaded screw so you can insert optionally insert into the bottom of the pole.
The whole unit is solidly built; in fact it will support a large camera, up to 3 kg according to the company's specs. With that said, this model is likely designed for camera as what's obviously missing from the package is any sort of smartphone mount, which in my opinion is probably the more common use. There is an optional attachment, called the "Pholder" which comes in two models for an additional $15-$25 that will support a variety of handheld devices.
XSories does have a wide range of monopods, both longer and shorter, but interestingly enough, they do offer other "non-leather" models, that do include the Pholder as well as some with as a selfie-shutter, a remote that allows you to snap the shutter remotely.
The other accessory that would be nice to have and also present on some of the other models is a caribiner clip you can clip it to your belt or knapsack. To be fair, the other also have a wrist strap, but they are not as thick or as substantial as the one that comes with the Big U-Shot leather model.
Overall it's a nice little package. It's a little higher priced than many other selfie-sticks, many of which are made of plastic. Still, it has a solid build, anodized aluminum and the genuine leather finish make it more than typical, although they could have included the caribiner and smartphone mount. Nevertheless it looks pretty cool and would be particularly appealing for those who like their accessories to be more than just functional.
XSories Big U-Shot Deluxe Leather Telescopic Pole retails for $89.99 and comes in two colours, silver with a brown leather handle and an all-black model with the pole; the handle and leash are all black. There is also a smaller U-Shot Deluxe Leather, rather than the Big U-Shot that expands from 18cm to 49cm, depending on where you buy it, at about $10 less and many others starting at $49.99. They're available in Canada from places like Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.

Not even Hurricane Irene could stop the juggernaut that is The Help. The movie was #1 at the box office for the third straight weekend, adding $14.5 million to its impressive $96.8 total to date. Riding that wave is Octavia Spencer, who's winning raves for her portrayal of a maid who gets sweet revenge against her racist employer. Spencer, who has worked steadily but largely unnoticed for years, playing mostly small roles in films (Seven Pounds, Spider-Man) and TV shows (CSI, Ugly Betty, The Big Bang Theory), is suddenly being mentioned alongside co-stars Viola Davis and Jessica Chastain as a possible Oscar nominee.
"Anything that happens career-wise will be frosting on the cake. I've already won in my mind because I got to work with the best cast and crew and walked away with some amazing friendships," she says, mentioning Davis and Chastain. "I'm excited but I also have no expectations. Whatever happens will be a blessing and I'm looking forward to whatever that is."
Spencer came to The Help with connections: she has known director Tate Taylor since they were staff assistants together on the Mississippi set of A Time to Kill in 1996, and he championed her for the role of Minny Jackson. She met novelist Kathryn Stockett when she was writing the book and, in fact, inspired aspects of the character. To play her, Spencer didn't have to look far. "Minny is an amalgamation of a lot of people. As far as the sassy attitude, she's part–my mother, part–a couple of my sisters, part–me, any morning before I have my coffee. That part was easy. But for the abuse and that other stuff, I had to do a lot of research to know how to play a person who had such strength at such an oppressive time."
Spencer's higher profile will likely bring more attention to three independent films she's done: Flypaper, Lost on Purpose, and The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife, and the children's book she's writing. "I'm trying to be a jack-of-all-trades," she says.
The Help is in theatres now.

and Aquanaut LV (composite). I would suggest the 'naut LV for your use, based on your personal specs you are going to find the 'regular' Aquanaut a bit roomy.
Fwiw, I go 5' 9" and about 155.
I have also paddled the Tempest 165 poly and the Aquanaut LV in poly. Both the Tempest Pro (composite) and poly are for all practical purposes identical in size, but have different hatch covers. Not so with the Aquanaut LV. You will find the poly version to have more beam and carry more volume.
The glass ANAUT works exceedingly well for me.
I'm 6-0, and I ran 195 when I bought it, and I'm at 205 now (hmmm... well, plus or minus -well, mostly plus -a few pounds depending on how close I am to a holiday), albeit with a 30" inseam vs. your 32. But don't worry -you will still fit quite easily.
Everything Nate and Jim noted is spot on.
While I also liked the poly Tempest that I've been in, it was the 170, not the 165, and the larger model was quite snug for my thicker thighs, and for paddling empty, that would be OK. However, I think it wouldn't work nearly as well as the ANAUT has for camping -both in terms of carrying the same amount of gear, and for its paddling manners when loaded.
The boat does edge well and easily, and works well unladen, but seems to shine even better loaded. I'm not nearly as accomplished a paddler as many on this board; that said, I'll echo Jim's note: the ANAUT inspires confidence. That's good, because I find that confidence inspires experience, and experience is really the ultimate instructor. I returned from a camping trip and crossed an open water stretch of perhaps a mile in SW Florida near Cape Romano in choppy, breezy conditions, and I felt at ease handling the chop and wind in the fully loaded Aquanaut.
One word of caution: the Valley hatches are famous -infamous? -for eventually degrading and needing replacement. After 5-1/2 years (outdoor storage in South Florida, 303-treated) I finally had to replace mine a couple months ago.
I think it'll be an excellent choice should you decide to go with this now sorrowfully discontinued but classic Valley model to
-Frank in Miami
Not sure if ok to post this but as a former frequent poster . . . Here in Albany area not too far from you, I have a like new composite Aquanaut Lv I am looking to part with as I wanted to downsize to a 16 footer. I have used it perhaps 10 times in its 3 year life.Send me an email if interested. The boat handles well- I am 5 7 and 165 pounds and the fit is good. Wilsoj on this post knows me (as well as Marshall) and the boat and can vouch this is not a troll post. He is aware of my desire to sell it. In fact the Tempest was on my short list. Reason - I now paddle eclusively smaller bodies of water. Jeff

Ingenius way to defend against Law Enforcement Abuse with Law Enforcement. Its like making Uncle Sam turn himself in when he goes hypocritical!
If you're an African America, male or female, I wouldn't even entertain the thought of opening this app while being pulled over for a tracfic violation.That would be that sudden movement or reaching for something they ALWAYS claim is the reason for shooting unarmed people.It's highly probable and likely you'll be shot also.Pray that someone else has the app, will take time to shoot a video of your encounter with police and make the call, all while you're being detained.God Bless you Brothers and Sisters.

Best law app so far
Not well thought out! Can not be moved to SD memory on SGH-T399. And, in addition to locking the screen, after the recording is stopped, the app should place the phone in "airplane" mode to prevent hacking.

This is exactly the kind of thing we need in Pennsylvania! Perfect tool for holding the police accountable. Thanks ACLU!

Police in Halifax say they have reopened their investigation in the Rehtaeh Parsons case after someone stepped forward and gave "new and credible information" about the allegations that the Nova Scotia teenager was gang-raped.
The development came one day before her funeral Saturday and after five days of public outrage, calls for action and concerns about vigilante justice.
"We have information from a verifiable person that we can substantiate with more questions," said RCMP Corporal Scott MacRae, a spokesman for the Halifax Integrated Sexual Assault Investigation Team. "And we're still appealing to others that may be out there."
In a statement released Friday afternoon, the joint police squad said a team had been assigned to "review this new information as it relates to the totality of this file."
Rehtaeh, 17, died in hospital Sunday after she tried to kill herself last week. Her death unleashed a nationwide uproar when her family complained that she had been distraught because authorities failed to file charges and because she was harassed after a photo of the alleged assault was circulated among her school peers.
News of the investigation reopening came as Rehtaeh's family had been holding a visitation before her funeral Saturday. Her mother's long-time boyfriend, Jason Barnes, said he was happy that the police probe is resuming but did not wish to comment further.
The hacker group Anonymous previously claimed it has obtained a screenshot of incriminating statements from one of the four teenaged boys allegedly involved in the November, 2011, incident. However, the police said the new information did not come from Anonymous but from an individual who had met with detectives.
"The person providing the information is willing to verify who they are, the reason they're providing it, and is willing to work with police as part of the investigation," the police statement said.
The incident is alleged to have taken place at a house in Eastern Passage, near Halifax, and involved Rehtaeh, who was 15 at the time, and four boys. A cellphone photo was circulated among students at her high school in Cole Harbour. Her relatives said they were initially told by police that detectives could not prove who had sent the photo and that the Crown didn't think they could clinch a prosecution.
Anonymous said it had obtained statements from one boy who said he was in the photo and who identified the other three suspects. "All information, including screenshots of the confession, have been made available to the police," the group said in a statement.
"This wasn't some high-tech operation that involved extracting private messages from someone's Facebook account. Dozens of e-mails were sent to us by kids and adults alike. … Many recalled confessions made by these boys blatantly in public," the group said in another statement.
"We are aware of those postings," Cpl. MacRae said, adding, "We just can't take reports through social media."
RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson cautioned Friday against vigilantes and said police would only work with the hacker group if "they … take their masks off."
There was intense pressure on police following Rehtaeh's death. Nova Scotia Justice Minister Ross Landry initially refused to order a review of the case, then reversed his position after the emotional reaction from colleagues and constituents. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he and his wife were "sickened seeing a story like this."
The Prime Minister said on Thursday that "bullying to me has a kind of connotation of kids misbehaving. What we are dealing with in some of these circumstances is simply criminal activity. It is youth criminal activity. It is sexual criminal activity. And it is often Internet criminal activity."Report Typo/Error

Anybody have a better way to get folder sizes in Windows Server 2003 - BIG folder sizes?
I've tried a half dozen programs - free & trials and they're all about as slow as -right click-properties. The really annoying ones are running all the time.
There has to be a better way to get folder sizes. I'm in the process of moving some LARGE chunks of data around and want to know what I'm getting into...

I've always had luck with WinDirStat and TreeSize, but you need to let them each run a little bit in order for them to get an accurate size count on folders and the directory structure.
Apr 19, 2012 at 10:41 UTC
Merryworks is an IT service provider.

+1 on WinDirStat.
Works great, and is well worth the price.

WinDirStat vote here too, if you disable certain features like treemap, it actually runs pretty quick.

I'll try WINDIRSTAT. I've tried Treesize and several others. A couple that put 'columns' in explorer. Everything has been slow...
Apr 20, 2012 at 9:40 UTC
Another +1 for WinDirStat. Takes a couple minutes to "get" the interface, but it works well:

/ sourceforge.net/ projects/ windirstat
- Note: Unhide hidden files & folders, and unhide protected system files.
Treesize is a good choice, too.

If you're close to me, you discovery it frozen to send in nerve-racking moments. Stress organization techniques don't always do the con. In consequence to stress, you any turn raptorial towards some other inhabitants to liberate load or you get resigned to hide from view the highlighting.
Showing unfriendliness towards different being temporarily feels okay, but next world kicks in as you awareness even much troubled from having injured the other than character. When you are bowing and put by your stress, it internally grub at you as your emotions get suppressed, which after hurts your associations.Post ads:

Stress motivates us to proceeds action, but it too regularly plant in opposition us. I've travel up near the best possible five distance and techniques to survive inflection that you can use to operate beside problematical conflict:
1) Stop the load from greater than ever in the original pop. The champion method to woody near strain is to decrease it from occurring nudity. You can integrated remaining load management techniques timetabled downwards into your prosody intend earlier you get beleaguered in conflict.
2) Breathe. When your distressed levels rise, you breathe out shallowly. This causes you to come in the fray or formation response that hurts your cleverness to When your accent levels rise, steal several deep, slack breathes and you will immediately stifle your prosody levels.
3) Accept job for how you cognizance. It is alluring and too flowing to emanation your emphasis on some other populace. Do not goody associates inharmoniously. If you luxury family in a way they don't poorness to be treated, you raise their accent levels, which they will be elated to put vertebrae on you.
When you judge responsibility, you in concert in lawfulness. you destruct blessed. You do not get a martyr of others. You lift govern of your sensations. Your new levels of duty builds your self-possession and skilfulness to be in command of emphasis.
If soul causes you stress, you involve to address the creature by explaining to them how you feel, why you quality that way, and what can be finished to fix the hassle. Do not prominence out the character by focus your judgment for mortal worried directly on the person, but focussing on the hassle. Be hold-up headed and not entity familiarised.
4) Take instance out. Walking distant is a secure accent paperwork method to revitalize your be concerned. If you can drop to go on a Caribbean cruise, go for it! For others who cannot do that, go for a amble or physical exercise at the gym. Being involved releases hormones that negative load. Being distant from the prosody likewise takes your nous off the catch and gives you clearer ideas and feelings. Be certain to computer address the obstacle after your occurrence out, however, otherwise you will sole have temporarily avoided the tangible cognitive content.
5) Be supple. Stress is resembling the first light and old. It is fateful. Therefore, the incomparable way to traffic with it is to variation your conduct and note. You requirement to be competent to certify once others are anxious by reading their oral and gestural prose after correct yourself fittingly. Be flexible by active a bit out of your way for them to facilitate their conditional wishes and wishes. Don't run in the region of the worldwide for them, but do be more than alive and answering of them. This can front you to smaller quantity difficulty.
Bonus Tip: Ask others active your responses in trying moments. It is pragmatic to ask others what you do once you move into that threshold rank where on earth you instigate to clog up out surface factors. Just ask them what you are like and how it makes them surface once you are careworn. You are to ask opposite people around this because assessing yourself once you education fatty emotions is an approximate origin of gossip.
Stress shouldn't brand name you bleak. We were specified the capability to be besieged to get material possession through other we would sit on our apathetic behinds all day. Learn these distance to bring off your accent to effectively communicate, and you will enhanced handle your affinity interface in nerve-wracking moments.

McCarthy facing striker crisis
By Phil Jackson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
New Wolves boss Mick McCarthy faces a striking crisis for the start of the new season.
New Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Mick McCarthy heads into Molineux with an injury crisis surrounding his strikers for the coming season.
The former Sunderland boss will not officially take over the reins at the Championship club until Monday, but his first task could be to bring in a new front man.
Caretaker manager Stuart Gray takes the team to Swansea City for the pre-season friendly on Saturday with Tomasz Frankowski the only fit senior forward in the squad.
Leon Clarke is out after suffering a freak training ground injury, while former Wimbledon and Newcastle United marksman Carl Cort is also out despite looking good in the team's last friendly at Tranmere Rovers.
"Carl has had a follow-up appointment with the specialist regarding his knee so I don't think he'll be available for us on Saturday," Gray told the club's website.
"It was always planned as a follow-up appointment after the problem he had last year.
"The Tranmere game was probably the best Carl has played and looked in pre-season but unfortunately we've now got to rest him for Saturday."
The 28-year-old Londoner is confident of making a return to action, but will need to rest to alleviate some of the pressure around the troublesome knee.
"It's nothing serious, we knew three months ago I was going back today," Cort added.
"It was just to go and get the knee drained but it won't put me back or out for any length of time, it's just a procedure really. The knee feels okay at the moment.
"Obviously towards the end of last season I eased up a bit in terms of training to make sure I was fit for games. Now I'm loading it up a lot more, which I want to do, and it has become inflamed."

Sri Lanka were originally scheduled to play three Tests and seven One-day Internationals in October-November on their first full tour of India since 1997.
But the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Super Series between Australia and the World teams in October and South Africa's five One-dayers in India in mid-November have forced the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to propose a split tour by Sri Lanka.
According to the proposal, Sri Lanka will now arrive in India in the last week of October after the ICC Super Series to play seven One-day Internationals and come again in December for the three Test matches.
"The split tour proposal by the BCCI is being considered by us," a Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) official said on Friday.
The proposal could see India playing as many as 12 One-day Internationals at home in November -- seven against Sri Lanka and five against South Africa.
South Africa's One-dayers in India are scheduled between November 17-29.
India are already due to tour Sri Lanka for a triangular One-day series from July 30-August 9 and visit Zimbabwe for two Tests and another tri-series from the end of August.
The ICC Super Series in Australia includes three One-dayers in Melbourne on October 5, 7 and 9 and a six-day Test match in Sydney from October 14-19.

Bangalore: The on-going crisis might have been averted If Aussie skipper Ricky Ponting had shown a little more sensitivity, an iota of the maturity that his Indian counterpart Kumble has shown and perhaps, an understanding of the implications of what he was doing.
The Indian team here reportedly made every effort to prevent the ongoing emergency from becoming precisely what it has — the kind of incident that is testing the fabric of the game. Unfortunately, the Australians were not willing to play ball.
According to sources, India skipper called Ponting up on the night of the Harbhajan-Symonds incident and asked him not to press for the charge of racism. Ponting (based on what Andrew Symonds alleged) had made the complaint to umpires Benson and Bucknor, who in turn forworded it to match referee Procter at close of play on Day Three. Ref. promptly booked Bhajji for Level-3 offence. And handed the Indian offie three-Test ban in what looked like a ex-parte verdict.
Kumble reportedly told Ponting that if Harbhajan had caused any offence at all, he was willing to apologise on his behalf as the captain of the team. The proffered apology was no admission of guilt — he was not saying that Harbhajan had done serious wrong — it was merely intended as a conciliatory gesture to smooth things over and get on with the business of cricket.
Kumble reportedly reiterated that things happened on a heated field of play and told Ponting that he well knew that Harbhajan had neither made a racist remark nor had intended any, and the racism charge was a serious one that should not be made like this.
Ponting apparently refused to see the point and was adamant that Harbhajan was a repeat offender, had made remarks in Mumbai (during the October ODI) and this time around, he (Ponting) would see the process through.
Kumble tried to reason with him, repeated that Harbhajan had made no racist remark, something Ponting knew, and no offence was intended.
He said it would be better for everyone concerned if they kept this out of the public domain.
But Ponting wouldn"t listen. Another attempt was made to convince the Aussies to drop the charge of racism, at Sunday night"s hearing, by all the members of the Indian Committee but to no avail.
"Apparently, Ponting was unwilling to see reason," said a source, adding that Kumble was quite frustrated by the Aussie skipper"s inability to understand the sensitivity of the issue or its ramifications.
"He reminded Ponting, as did others at the hearing, that this went far beyond either of them and far beyond this Test, and the game of cricket."
Apparently, none of the Australian players had a clue that the situation would explode like this or that it would lead to so much negative opinion on them as a team.
"The sad part is that the cricketers still don"t understand why they aren"t loved by all Australians, most of who believe in playing hard, but winning fair," said our taxi driver as we returned from the stadium after India"s loss.
This conversation won"t help that image either.

Sally Kempton isn't one to mix words when it comes to meditation. She is more than practical with expectations and what it takes to embark upon a well intentioned meditation practice. She is also super gentle when it comes to working with others.
In her latest Patheos post, Kempton describes her path and transformation whereby she learned to live her outward life as a radiant reflection of living from her center. Not denying the daily difficulties one encounters when exploring the unconscious and forging a relationship with self, Kempton overtly acknowledges that your practice is tested constantly; just how open to love can you remain?
The ultimate gift of meditation? Having an awareness of that part of yourself that regardless of anything, remains unchanged.
Yet there will be other moments, many of them, when the gifts of meditation are there only if you work for them. The mere fact that you meditate will not suddenly make you immune to psychological pain. It won't eliminate mood swings, feelings of inadequacy, or problems with other people. In fact, people who meditate can be just as subject to ups and downs as anyone else. The major differences lie in their attitude toward their mood and tendencies and in the resources they have to deal with them. When sadness, anger, and frustration arise, they have learned how to separate their intrinsic sense of self from their moods and feelings. They know that a core part of them is untouched by the emotional weather. Not only that, they have learned some skills in meditation that can help them through a difficult encounter or a mental traffic jam. They have more choices about how they deal with their feelings, how they work with the desires, fears, and crises, which might otherwise derail them.

Ned Kelly
What is the truth?
Perspective Paragraph
Ned Kelly's last stand
Perspective One-Ned's view
I'm done for the police shot Joe at the pub and they burned Dan and Steve alive. I'm going to go out there and kill them all instead of hiding in the bush, no more hiding time to fight. I step out of cover with armour on armed with only a revolver, I slowly move from tree to tree, once I got close enough I took the first shot and hit the log they were on, the three next to him start shooting I can see Sergeant Steele, senior constable Kelly and some railway guard. I return fire and shoot two shots, one getting Steele in the hand, while moving towards another tree, Steele notices something then shoots my left leg I fall to the ground leaning against a tree. I am done, I am done I screamed and fired one last shot as Steele and the railway man shoot me in my left foot, my right hand, my left arm and twice in the region of my groin, Steele takes off my helmet and hand cuffs me, nothing had penetrated my armour so sadly they took me in and put me in the medical bay where they patched me up.
Perspective Two-Sergeant Steele's view
Ned has escaped he ran into the bushes while we were shooting at Dan Kelly and Steve Hart, burn it down! I yelled, one of the guards lit the hotel and the whole thing went up in flames. A messenger ran up to me and said "the patrol officers have shot and killed Joe Burne at the pub", i sat down next to a railway Guard called Dowsett, a bang exploded into the air and a bullet hit the log i was sitting on, spinning i saw Ned standing behind a tree i returned fire, but the bullets just bounced off his armour. He fired two more shots and one hit me in the hand. I had to think of a way to shoot him. I realised that his legs were showing so i fired a shot into his left leg and he fell against a log. Dowsett and i ran towards him and he fired at us screaming "i am done, i am done!". We both fired, getting him in the left foot, the right hand, the left arm and twice in the groin. I took off his helmet and handcuffed him, then dragged him to the surgeon who patched him up.
A Brief Idea of the last stand
Australian Icon
Persuasive article
What are the first five things you think of when someone mentions Australia. My first five are; kangaroos, emus, the shape of Australia, green 'n' gold and Ned Kelly. Wait, let's go back, what was the last thing I said. Ned Kelly. If Ned Kelly was one of the things that come to mind when I think of Australia, doesn't that make him an Australian icon? I believe that it does and here are my reasons why.
In the year 2000 at the Olympic games, images of Ned Kelly were projected to the audience around the world, so Ned is an icon not just to me and if pictures of him were at the Olympic games, we as Australians must not be completely ashamed of him, so why do people think Ned is a treacherous thief and a murderer. Ned was forced to become a bush ranger by the police. He was wrongly accused most of the time and he stood up for his family and friends and most importantly he stood up for what he believed in. When Ned was accused for attacking a police cop, he tried to explain what happened but the police denied it and put a reward on him. He was forced to run, but even after that he tried to stop and tell them again and sent them two letters, one of which is below (and is also mentioned in the song) but instead they just increased the reward. By standing up for the defenseless people, going against the people that stopped him and by standing up for what he believed in, this is what I believe makes him a great Australian icon.
Ned Kelly is as Australian as you can get, his mother and father both came from Ireland, his dad was a convict - someone who was pushed down for what he did - which made Ned different to other people and is partly what made him an Australian icon. Ned's life showed the history of Australia, his mother was a settler and his father was a convict, which in turn made him steal and have a bad attitude towards cops and British people. He was a Larrikin. This is also what happened to Australia. Australia was used as a massive jail cell, it was the underdog of the world but in it's own way it was great. Ned Kelly was the underdog so he stood up and went against the law and rules; he was a Larrikin and was proud to be an outcast of society. This is my second reason Ned Kelly was an Australian Icon and a good one.
My third and final argument is that Ned Kelly did all his highway robberies, horse theft and murder in Australia. He was notorious in Australia just like Hitler was in Germany, but to compare them would be wrong because there was a good side to Ned. If Ned had done everything in China he would be a Chinese icon, but he lived in Australia. Part of the reason anybody knows and can remember Ned is because of his Helmet and suit, he was smart enough to create the world's first bullet proof armor, but that's not the only reason why his armor is iconic. The reason Ned Kelly survived so long is because of his armor, he spent every moment out in the open with his armor since it was created and his is the most remembered out of all the armor in his gang. He had the best designed and best made armor, his was not the strongest in his gang but it was the most effective and so teamed up with his wits he survived the longest. This is why Ned is a well known Australian icon.
These are my arguments and reasons why Ned was as good of an icon as any. Many people say that Ned is a mean, vicious, cold - blooded killer because of what they have heard. I have explained the real reasons and hopefully you too will see that Ned Kelly is a great Australian icon!

By Pavarti K Tyler/
Editors, Book Covers, Blog Tours, eBook Formatting, Advertising, Free Giveaways, Attending Conferences, Marketing, Marketing Marketing, Marketing! Sometimes it feels like all I do is SPEND money in the attempt to make a little off the books I'm writing!
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
Having a budget as an Indie Author is essential, but more than that, having a realistic budget is an absolute must. Don't forget to feed the dog and pay your mortgage in the interest of getting some more ad space on one of those big sites! As much as you have to spend money to make money, take care of yourself, your interests, and do it with a responsible and forward focused approach.
Since marketing never stops, neither can your budget. When I started planning to launch Shadow on the Wall I had a nice little budget and even an account I used to keep the money separate from my bills. I use paypal for this and in general it works great since most online marketing resources accept and prefer a paypal direct transfer to a credit card payment. I built in advertising and lots of other great opportunities. What I forgot? An ongoing expense line. I forgot that after the launch in May, I was still going to need to market! And I'm a marketing consultant! I tell my clients this all the time, but when it came down to spending my own money, I blanked. I don't have any, I can't spend any!
The first thing you need is to determine what you consider a reasonable price for the services you need. Understand, you need to pay a livable wage to professionals if you expect a level of expertise. This is especially true for editors. If you are going to skip anything do NOT let it be editing. Bad editing can destroy the best books. If you do nothing else, find the money to pay a professional editor. Or two! I use BETA readers, a critique partner, a professional editor and a different line editor for every project. It adds up, yes, but in the end it's the best dollar you'll spend.
Cutting corners is something I understand. While I use a professional artist for many of my covers, I also do some covers myself. Same thing for marketing. I pay for blog tours like everyone else, even though I run them for other people but I also do a lot of the marketing for my books myself. I have a list of great blog tour companies I work with and am always looking for new ones to try out. But cutting corners needs to be a calculated move.
For your first book, I recommend ponying up the money and have everything done for you. Either with a pre-publishing consultant who will user you through the process (like me!) or by hiring out for each service separately. You don't know what you don't know and for your first baby steps you need to take the time to learn. The best way to do this is walk in the footsteps of a pro. Once you've been through it once, you'll have a better sense of what you can do yourself. Are you a wiz with GIMP? Play around with making your own cover art and get honest feedback from your peers, but when they tell you it sucks, have the humility to take a step back and do what's right for your book.
The best cautionary tale I can tell you about this is from friend and client Lenore Skomal. Her brilliant book Bluff was ready to rumble when she uploaded to KDP. Unfortunately, the file she uploaded was corrupted and an incorrect format. This cost her in reviews, stars and probably more than a few missed heartbeats. She talks about what happened in her post 17,500 readers with a corrupted ebook file–learn from what I did wrong but the moral of her story is, in her words:
"I am silently kicking myself. I should have listened to the pros, especially because I am a babe in the woods in this self publishing game. I should have spent the money to have my novel professionally converted into the proper ebook formats. What was I thinking? … I have learned something truly priceless. When trying to navigate your ship in this whole new world, trust those who have the maps."
Below I've put together a list of questions for you to consider before trying to do something yourself. If you answer yes, go for it! If you answer maybe, consider hiring a pro or do it yourself and hire a pro to check your work. If you answer no, recognize your limitations and do what you need to (even if it means delaying your release) to do right by your book. You took the time to write it and love it, you've invested your heart and soul. Don't skimp now.
- Book covers: Do you understand how to use layers in Image Manipulation Programs?
(A custom cover can range from $150-$800, or you can find some great pre-made ones to purchase for much less)
- Can you self edit? 99.99% of the time the answer is no. Hire an editor. Fees vary depending on experience and the level of help you need. For a 50-75k book expect to spend between $800-$5000.
- Formatting for eBooks: Can you handcode raw html? I can, but I don't. When I do, I invariably screw it up. eBook formatting spans from $100-$700. The upper end I've seen I balk at. If you're going for straight text to ebook conversion with a minimal number of images there's no reason to pay more than $250/$300. If you want an enhanced eBook with things like interactive maps, embedded music, etc you may pay more.
- Formatting for print books: I'm cheap. I don't die my hair and I don't get my eyebrows waxed. If it needs to be done, I do it myself. Initially, this is how I felt about print formatting. I mean, really, how hard can it be? You just throw your text up in the template you download from your printing service and your're done right? Wrong. I can spot a self-published book from 1000 feet away based on the interior formatting alone. I did my own formatting for ARCs and comparing that to the impeccable product Mallory Rock with Novel Publicity created for the paper printing of Shadow on the Wall is kind of like comparing me doing a quick superglue band-air patch up while hiking to a neurosurgeon. Interior formatting isn't something many people seem to pay for or offer, but again, I think it's worth every cent. Especially if your goal is to be in a book store or held in the same regard as a Big 6 book.
- Attending conferences: Do this. Give away copies of your books. Make friends. It will pay off. Some people get booths to sell their books at various events and while I haven't done this yet myself I do see real value in it. Just be cautious of the price point. If you're paying $5000 for a booth, you want to make sure the exposure warrants the expense.
- Giveaways: People LOVE free stuff. Reward your blog followers with giveaways. Thank your readers with little presents. You don't have to break the bank to do this either. Sites like Vista Print can print of reasonable quality wares very inexpensively. If you can afford it, Gift Card giveaways and Kindle Fires are always awesome and bring a lot of attention to events, but do they sell books? We've consistently seen that yes, big giveaways do sell books. Take your time, plan it out and make sure you include this in your budget.
- Advertising and branding: For help creating a logo (recommended) or designing various swag for your brand you can do it yourself or hire someone to help. Mallory Rock does any graphic work I need and she's awesome.
- Blog tours: There are a ton of companies, ranging from some dink with an email address trying to scam you out of cash to the uber professional tours the traditional publishers are now starting to book. The price range is vast, next to editing, it's the most extreme variable, but if you want to sell books you have to tell people about it. I wrote a post about running my own blog tour when Two Moons of Sera Vol 1 was released. This is something you can do on your own, but be aware, the output of effort, time, and planning is huge.
- Marketing, marketing marketing, marketing – Oh hey, did I mention you need to do some marketing? Publicity is the gift that just keeps on giving. Or the expense that just keeps taking. I guess it depends on how you look at it. There isn't a moment when you can sit back and think there, I've marketed my book, I can relax now. It doesn't exist. Look at the book ads for traditionally published hits. J.K. Rowling is actively marketing her most recent release, but her older, world renowned series is still being plugged regularly in various outlets. While big authors like her have a marketing machine working for them, we don't. Even the midlist authors with big publishers have to do all their own marketing. Don't think this is an Indie thing and that if only you had a publisher you'd be able to forget all this marketing stuff and focus on writing. Keeping a steady stream of marketing going for your projects is essential. Set aside some money each month for small things, a $25 twitter blast here, a $100 ad there, but also try to keep track of what works and what doesn't so you aren't throwing money down a hole.This is where hiring a marketing consultant (like me!) comes in handy. We have tricks that work, we have relationships with bloggers and ad sites, we have the experience of watching our own work as well as our clients, and it's our job to research and track market trends. Getting professional advice can make the difference between throwing sand into the wind and hoping someone notices and making a targeting sales plan which will produce exposure and hopefully concrete sales.
My advice? Take a little time to look over what I've outlined above, be honest with yourself about your budget and your skill set, and get help when you need it. The stakes are high. This is your career! Your reputation! Why are you bothering to publish at all if you aren't going to take it seriously? I know the readers of the Orangeberry Blog aren't hacks. I know you aren't the folks who whip out a first draft, have a buddy read it, and pop it on KDP without another thought. You are the authors who are changing the face of the literary culture. Don't give the big guys any more ammunition against us.
Together we're going to change the world.

A change in administration always triggers a game of musical chairs, and it's well underway in the Vatican right now. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Pope Benedict XVI's secretary of state, is on his way out, while Archbishop Georg Gänswein, though still running the papal household, is no longer the pope's go-to guy.
One figure navigating the transition to Francis quite nicely, however, was a key American insider under Benedict, too: Msgr. Peter Wells, who holds the critical job of assessor in the Secretariat of State.
Every new pope has to assemble his own team, and Wells already has been penciled in to Pope Francis' starting lineup -- as a matter of fact, right in the heart of the batting order.
To be clear, Wells is not the only American with juice, and not the highest-ranking cleric. That's Boston's Sean O'Malley, by far the U.S. cardinal who knows Latin America best, and the only one to have stayed with Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Argentina before he became pope.
There's also an expectation that an American prelate soon will be named to head a Vatican department, filling the void left after Cardinal William Levada stepped down at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith last July. (One tip has Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C., going to the Congregation for the Clergy, but word to the wise: In the Francis era, personnel rumors have the approximate value of buggy whip stock.)
Yet whatever happens, no American is likely to be as critical to day-to-day Vatican operations as Wells.
Born and raised in Tulsa, Okla., Wells got his initial Roman seasoning as a seminarian at the North American College, earning degrees from the Jesuit-run Gregorian University and the John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family at the Lateran University. He later got a doctorate in canon law from the Gregorian, while also studying at the Academia, the Vatican's elite school for diplomats.
After a brief stint in the Vatican embassy in Nigeria, Wells returned to Rome in 2002 to work in the first section of the Secretariat of State, the department that deals with general church affairs -- meaning, pretty much, whatever's bubbling at the moment.
Wells was tapped to head the English desk in 2006 and then named assessor in 2009, making him the top deputy to the sostituto, or Vatican chief of staff. (For "West Wing" fans, that makes Wells the Josh Lyman character.)
This alone would qualify Wells as a major player, but his résumé only scratches the surface. In effect, he's become the interpreter and point of contact between the Vatican and the entire English-speaking world. He's the first port of call for Anglophone churchmen, diplomats, activists, and other movers and shakers who need entrée, who have a project to promote or a bone to pick, or who'd simply like to know what's going on.
To take a banal example, when a Chicago lawyer wanted to donate the Internet domain name "popefrancis.com" to the new pontiff, he contacted Cardinal Francis George, who in turn called Wells. (As a footnote, the lawyer bought the domain in 2010, well before there actually was a Pope Francis. His next prediction is that the Cubs will win the World Series in 2015; odds-makers can debate which of those two developments is more improbable.)
More substantively, secret cables revealed as part of the Wikileaks scandal show how much diplomats rely on Wells for readings of the Vatican's take on sensitive issues, such as the church's sexual abuse scandals. Other players know the score, too. In 2010, when parishioners in Boston wanted to appeal the closing of nine local parishes, they consulted a couple of canon lawyers about the best way to get the pope's attention, and the reply was to address the petition to Wells.
Over the years I've had more exchanges than I can count with American bishops who express interest or concern over something going on in Rome, and who wind up the conversation by saying, "I'll have to talk to Wells."
Wells generally shuns the spotlight, partly because of his job and partly because of personality. Behind the scenes, however, he's almost Zelig-like in his ubiquity.
For instance, when President Barack Obama met Benedict in the Vatican in 2009, Wells served as the interpreter, and the video feed showed him catching up to the president in the hallway afterward to ensure that a particular point had been clearly understood.
It's been said that if Wells were 10 years older, he'd be a strong contender to be the Vatican's first American secretary of state, with pretty much everything you'd want — smarts, a strong work ethic, a good sense of humor, and a reputation for playing things straight. Insiders also say that Wells has penetrated the Italian cultural scene without being assimilated to it, retaining a healthy Anglo-Saxon impatience with double talk and inefficiency.
Whatever the reasons, Wells is clearly poised to be a player under the new regime.
When Francis created a five-member commission June 26 to investigate the troubled Vatican bank, formally known as the Institute for the Works of Religion, Wells was tapped as part of the group. Three of the others are bishops or cardinals, while the remaining member is American laywoman Mary Ann Glendon -- meaning that in all probability, Wells will be the prime mover in terms of actually doing the work.
The commission reports directly to Francis, and has been given special authority to collect documents and testimony without being hamstrung by internal Vatican rules that protect confidentiality.
In early August, Francis issued another legal document intended to beef up the Vatican's commitment to fighting money-laundering and other financial shenanigans, creating a new Financial Security Committee to oversee the transparency efforts of all agencies of both the Holy See and the Vatican City State.
The committee is composed of seven officials, with Wells in charge. (Technically the document says it's the assessor who heads the committee, whoever that may be, but obviously Francis knows it's Wells right now.)
By dint of circumstance, including the recent arrest of a Vatican accountant on charges of trying to smuggle $26 million into Italy and civil investigations of the recently resigned leadership of the Vatican bank, financial transparency has become the acid test of whatever reform Francis is going to deliver. The fact that Francis has effectively set up Wells to be the architect of his financial glasnost thus speaks volumes.
This American heavy-hitter, in other words, doesn't look like he's headed for the bench anytime soon.

fits wide
this jacket fits big. as the denim came stiff, along with the dropped shoulders, it initially looked huge on me. i was ready to send it back. but i really like the wash and the style, so i thought i could make it work by softening it. after it did soften up a bit, the breast pockets and the shoulders didn't stick out as much. i think a size-down would still have been roomy enough for the style, but i'm embracing the oversizedness.
