LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) ? Back and forth went Marquette and Butler, trading makes and misses in an intense rematch that made a case for being the best game so far of this NCAA tournament.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) ? Back and forth went Marquette and Butler, trading makes and misses in an intense rematch that made a case for being the best game so far of this NCAA tournament.
In the end, Vander Blue and the Golden Eagles pulled out another nail-biter as the Bulldogs couldn't muster any more of their March magic.
Blue scored 19 second-half points to rally third-seeded Marquette out of another hole, and the Golden Eagles survived 74-72 on Saturday to reach the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.
"I know everybody in our team, we weren't ready to go home," said Blue, who made a last-second layup to win Marquette's first game of this tournament. "We had two close games ? we had a lot of those this year. What we went through earlier this year prepared us for this weekend."
Like November's first meeting between the teams at the Maui Invitational, won 72-71 by Butler on Rotnei Clarke's buzzer-beating 3-pointer, it came down to the final shot. Only this time, Butler missed.
"The difference in the game was the level of pressure they put on us in the second half and certainly the shots they made," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "They had a few I didn't think were going in that bounced in.
"Our guys gave great effort on both ends of the floor. Our guys played their hearts out. I told them they had nothing to be ashamed about."
Marquette (25-8) will meet the winner of Sunday's game between Illinois and Miami on Thursday in the East Regional semifinals at Washington, D.C.
"We could have easily been beat by Davidson," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. "We could easily have been beaten tonight. Our character, toughness and the resiliency of our guys is maybe unlike any team I've ever been around. I stand at attention and respect for how those kids are...
"It's just another Marquette game. We're not good enough to blow anybody out. We're just good enough to get blown out. And if we can turn it into a fight and make it ugly, then it probably trends toward it helps us the most."
It will be Marquette's third consecutive round of 16 appearance, but the Golden Eagles are seeking to move past that round for the first time since 2003, when Dwyane Wade led them to the Final Four.
"There were multiple times we could have gave up," said Blue, who finished with 29 points. "But there's something about this group. We're relentless and we want to win. We're not ready to go home yet."
Clarke's 24 points led Butler (28-9).
Blue led the Golden Eagles' rally from a 35-27 halftime deficit and tied the game at 69 on 3-pointer with 1:25 remaining.
That set the stage for more late-game drama by his teammates.
After Jamil Wilson's two free throws made it 71-69, Davante Gardner deflected Clarke's pass intended for Kellen Dunham underneath and then made the first of three late free throws for 74-70 lead with 4.7 seconds left.
After Wilson's goaltend on what would have been a layup by Andrew Smith cut the lead to two 2 seconds later, Blue almost became the goat by throwing away the inbounds pass intended for Wilson with 2.9 seconds left.
The Bulldogs, who seem to win every close game at this time of year, couldn't get a good last look. Smith took an off-balance 3 from up top that was way off, slamming into the backboard and setting off another Marquette celebration.
"We were trying to get a look for a 3," Butler guard Alex Barlow said the final shot. "If that wasn't open, we had options off of that. Marquette did a great job guarding it and unfortunately Andrew was unable to make the shot."
This could be the start of quite a rivalry. Next year, Butler joins the new Big East with Marquette.
Stevens' Bulldogs reached the championship game in 2010 and '11, but won't make the second weekend this year.
"You can control some things, you can't control others," Stevens said. "We're going to go back and wish we controlled a few things little bit better. ... We talk about all the close wins ... but the only commercial I ever see is a close loss, Butler vs. Duke (in the 2010 championship).
"We've been here before, we've lived it. And we'll move on."
Blue shot 9 of 15 from the field with three from long range, finishing just four points off his career high. Trent Lockett and Wilson each added 13 points for Marquette, which shot 23 of 54 (43 percent) and was 5 of 12 from beyond the arc.
The Bulldogs' defense also held Clarke to just six second-half points after he seemed ready to dominate the game by himself. Smith finished with 17 points.

Olympic Gold Medalist, Pat Powers will conduct a volleyball camp in Port St. Lucie, FL. This camp will be held at UPONTOP Volleyball Academy on Saturday and Sunday, Dec 1 - Dec 2, 2018. The volleyball camp will run from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM on Saturday and 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM on Sunday. At the end of the first day, I will talk to all junior players and parents about high school volleyball, club volleyball, college volleyball and volleyball scholarships.

Get ready to have a great time! You will learn a lot about volleyball in a short period of time! I have found it useful if you show up in relatively decent shape and most important, don't compare yourself to others in the clinic. If you feel intimidated or bored, the learning process shuts down. I do an excellent job of matching each player with drills and competition suited for the appropriate levels of play.
There will be young players in attendance as well as adults. I will group you by age and skill level an hour into the clinic -- I do it for safety reasons and to make you feel more comfortable. The coaching staff will be watching each individual execute the skills during "Survivor"... this is where we enforce the teaching cycle.
Please remember it is not important who you play against or who you play with, all that matters is how you are performing each skill during "Survivor."
You will want to bring: an extra T-shirt, kneepads, water and other personal items you may need.
If you are under 18 years old and received a ride to the clinic, please inform the staff when your parents plan to pick you up. Until a responsible party arrives, we would ask that you remain inside the facility. Thank-you for your cooperation in this matter.
Parents are more than welcome to spend all day with us. The best time to watch is the last hour of each day as that is when we will be playing Survivor.

Mmurtha necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 120 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
We're switching over to a Wordpress theme, and we're looking for a catchy header image for the top of our blog. It must be 960px wide by 236px tall, and it must fit well with our new site.
We're looking to portray an image of modern professionalism. I equate this to mean professionalism with a personal touch. We're a law firm that's just stepping into the blogging world, twitter, facebook, etc. So we'd like a professional image, but personable as well.
You can see the current temporary header we're using now (maybe header isn't even the correct term) at the above web address. It's a picture of scales and a gavel, along with our firm name and address on a white background. This is what we're looking to replace with your design.
We're looking to keep our firm name, address, telephone and fax numbers in the design that you create. Just make it look,...well,.....much better.
We would like to try to steer away from cliche lawyer symbols, i.e. scales of justice, lady justice, gavel, etc. and try for something fresh and modern, yet professional.
Naturally your design must work well with the colors on the remainder of the site (primarily grey and white).
Use of pictures is fine, and you can use stock photos, just provide me with a link so I can purchase any necessary pics if stock photos are used.
****As a note, we cannot have a stock photo of another lawyer or lawyers in the header. So no people. Just text and graphics is fine too.
I require the .PSD or source files, not just a JPEG.
I've attached our current header.
Thanks for your entry!

Back in 2005, a much younger man than I told the story of how he (OK, it really was me) lost a lot of equipment to a lightning surge that was spit out from a violent summer storm.
With the temperatures in the high 90s here recently in the Washington, D.C., area, and expected to return to those levels on a regular basis, and afternoon thunderstorms an increasing possibility, I thought I would once again shout out a warning to my fellow technology-loving readers.
That day in 2005, I knew a storm was coming. I did what I thought was a protective move and unplugged all my computers and televisions. Yet, after the violent crescendos had passed, I found that several unplugged devices had still suffered damage.
Related coverage:
4 'smart' lessons from the Great Southwestern Blackout
How did this ninja storm accomplish such a feat? Not by blowing a hole in my roof or anything like that. It simply dropped a bolt of lighting near my cable box outside, and then rode the line into the house. Although the damaged equipment, including two VCRs, a small TV, a DVD player, a PlayStation 2, two ports on my firewall and two network cards, were not plugged in, they were still connected to the cable, either for TV or Internet access.
I figured this out because on two of the computers, the modems were fried, but no damage occurred to anything else in them. I actually got off pretty lucky because the modems took the brunt of the surge.
Since then I have bought a surge protector from Monster that not only has electrical plugs but also a place to run the cable and phone line through. Those types of protectors used to be really expensive, but today they are relatively cheap. I was also told by some experts that using such a device would slow down my modem speeds, but after extensive tests I didn't find this to be the case. So there is no reason not to use one.
Another problem that you might find in your area over the summer are brownouts, when less power is delivered to your home because of high demand elsewhere. This can occur over a long period of time if everyone in your city is trying to run their air conditioners and wash clothes at the same time or something like that, or over very brief incidents when the line into your home is not properly regulated due to local conditions.
Generally, these are not as harmful to computers as a surge, but they can be damaging, especially if you are trying to use a moving part or a motor inside your computer, such as when accessing your disk drive. You will start to accumulate bad sectors on your drive that will eventually become a problem. Long-term brownouts can also reduce your cooling efficiency and, in extreme cases, lead to overheating.
The way to combat a brownout is with a line-correcting uninterrupted power source device. I installed several from Tripp Lite in my home. If the power dips, their batteries boost the line and make sure that vulnerable electronics keep getting the correct amount of electricity. I have mine programmed to signal in the event of a brownout and was quite surprised at how often they squawk over the summer.
You may not even know that you are experiencing a brownout, though your electrics will still suffer for it. As a bonus, UPS devices also work as surge protectors for the electric line.
If storms are really bad in your area, it's always a good idea to disconnect computers from any lines going into them regardless of how much protection you have, but since that is not always practical or you might not always be around, a few steps and not much money can give you a bit more peace of mind.
So while you're firing up the grill and squeezing into your swimming trunks, keep an eye on the sky, and don't forget to keep your computers high and dry, and on a steady diet of the proper power levels.

whats a VCR?
If you have a cable drop, consider using a Polyphaser-like surge protector inline with the coax outside the house. These units sell for about $65. Don't depend on the cable company supplied "grounding unit" that only protects the shield and not the center conductor. Mount it under the overhang (to keep it dry) and ground the poly with #4 wire to an 8 ft copper stake driven into the soil as close to the entry point as possible (single point ground works best). That will help protect your cable modem, phones, pcs etc.
Last Year I lost 2 TVs and 2 Laptops to a surge. The TVs were hooked into 2 different APC UPS's on the surge side and the laptops were plugged into the Battery side of the same two UPS boxes. There was no damage to the UPS or any other products. The TVs were plugged into the Satellite but none of the intervening equipment was damaged in any way. The power supplies in both TVs were fried and one of the laptops can no longer charge the battery. Surges are unpredictable.
Hey, even your "fiber" cable has a wire tracer built into it (so "Miss Utility" can locate it), but I don't think it's terminated (grounded) inside the house. Underground wiring won't help: I have a power strip whose MOVs gave up the ghost when lighning hit a tree next to the house years ago (you can still see the scar on the tree). Fortunately no equipment was damaged, but there was a sizzle coming from the strip and the fried MOVs rattled inside after the strike.. The only electrical damage we've had was when some idiot came to bury the cable years ago and the Miss Utility report said all the wiring was aerial, but it's not; Miss Utility went to the wrong street, miles away, where everything was aerial. Our power and phone feeds were underground but Mr. Brilliant decided to proceed even though he couldn't see any aerial wires and managed to slice the neutral in our power feed. He was amazed when he drew sparks as he tried to screw in the cable connector. In the meantime my wife came outside to see what happened to the power. With the neutral gone, half our circuits went down to 10 volts and the other half went up to 220 volts, frying TVs, the Microwave, the 24V transformer for the furnace, and I've forgotton what else. I have surge protected power strips all over the house for anything electronic.
And since we're throwing out brand names, let's say FiOS where my network line is fibre optic (glass is a bad conductor) until it gets inside my house and underground on top of that. I'll admit I don't unplug my electronics but I do keep them behind a couple layers of surge protectors and UPS devices. Beyond that, unless your power lines run above ground, I'd say if you still wind up a victim then better go out and get some lottery tickets. Then again, I've been electrocuted a few times when I thought I was safe so take it with a grain of salt.

You have to go all the way back to Dec. 16 at Montreal for the Bruins' last power-play goal that was actually scored after a set-up in the attack zone.
The Bruins hope tonight a return to the Bell Centre can help them regain some measure of power-play proficiency.
However, Boston's slumping extra-man attack will be extremely tested by the Canadiens, who rank second in the league in penalty-kill percentage. Even without injured top shutdown defenseman Josh Gorges, who leads the Habs with 3:46 of shorthanded ice time on average per game and is now out for the season with an ACL problem, Montreal might not be the place to get the Boston power play going.
Boston has gone four straight games without a power-play goal (0-for-10) and is just 3-for-24 (12.5 percent) in its last nine outings — with power-play goals in just two of those games. None of those scores came off of set-ups in the offensive zone, with two coming on rushes (one by Mark Recchi and one by Michael Ryder) and the other off a giveaway by the opposition and some opportunistic positioning by Ryder.
The Bruins talk about their solid December, when they were 10-for-45 (22 percent), but most of that success came prior to Dec. 17, including Milan Lucic's tip in front against the Habs Dec. 16. Since the middle of last month, it's been a drag for the Bruins when they have an extra man on the ice.
"When we work it well [at the top] and we establish shots, it certainly makes our power play better. And down below it's about winning battles," said head coach Claude Julien after practice Friday, when he juggled some of his power-play combinations before those units worked on their passing and movement. "So those are two areas where, when we don't win battles down low, it ends up at the other end of the ice. When we do win those battles and we get it to the top and the top kind of works it well, we establish some opportunities. Those are two areas we've kind of keyed on to get the power play going again."
With Dennis Seidenberg and Zdeno Chara manning the points, Blake Wheeler, Recchi and David Krejci served as the forwards on one quintet Friday. The other group featured rookie Steven Kampfer and Patrice Bergeron up top along with Ryder, Marc Savard and Lucic up front. Sniper Nathan Horton had left practice with discomfort prior to the power-play work.
"If you look at it, a lot of times we have the good movement, we have good passes, but we just don't shoot at the right time or when we do shoot it's not the right time," said Chara. "It's one of those two. So we just need to correct those two elements of the game to be on track."
The Bruins are 1-for-8 against Montreal on the power play this season. So this might not be the best time to try to start a turnaround. However, in as much as the power play is reliant on aggression and hard work, the sight of the Habs and their vocal fans should provide a source of motivation for the Bruins' power-play performers.

hughesonline needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 136 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
App Review Squad
This competition is to create a logo for App Review Squad.
App Review Squad has 2 key customer groups... #1 being 'web app consumers' and #2 being 'web app developers'.
App Review Squad provides web app consumers with a portal where web apps (e.g. apps for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Facebook etc) are reviewed and rated so that consumers can make more informed decisions about which app's are worthy of being downloaded.
We also work with web app developers on a project basis to help the developers to create apps that really hit the mark with their target audience.
We have a website that is under construction with little content and structure today, and it is currently using a generic template that will be replaced.
Web app consumers
- we are targeting the subset of consumers that will actually do research before making a decision to purchase
- Mostly male (1.5:1 male:female ratio)
- 25-34 Years old
- Use web apps for both personal and business reasons
- They expect a credible review from a reputable source, so brand presence is critical
Web app developers
- they value quality, professionalism, market relevance, and reputation, so brand presence is critical
- research driven design is important to them to ensure a successful product
The logo will be used on our website, on web enabled Smartphones, on business cards, on stationary, and on clothing. It would be a bonus for the logo to have an avatar that looks great as a 16x16px Favicon.
The design will need to be easily identifiable both in color and in gray scale.
The color version can be bright and bold, but it must be tasteful and distinctive. Using web 2.0 effects is okay, as long as the design works in color and gray scale.
We are a young company (18-35 years age range), so the look and feel needs to reflect our youthful energy! http://www.bootb.com is an example of how this has been achieved by another company, Boot B.
Please do not try to match the logo to our current website theme as the design and colors are going to change. The logo design will influence our final theme for our new website... brand presence is critical.

*Link deleted by Mod*
NB. I really like the little profile chart that bikemap.net makes of your route. Also the topographic cycle map (OSM Cycle) with the various bike-paths and cycle-lanes mapped is awesome.
Runjikol, I removed the link you provided to your commute map because each time I opened it, it caused IE7 to crash. Can you please check the link and repost if it seems ok to you. Cheers mate.
Link worked fine for me in Seamonkey 1.16 and IE6. The bikemap.net user interface is quite nice - and the OSM cycle pretty useful. It's got some of the main cycle routes in Sydney - although bits are missing in some - e.g. the eastern end of the Canal cycleway, and the link from the Orphan St Creek cycleway back to Lansdowne/Georges Hall and Milperra is not there.
The OSM cycle map's way of showing all the routes its got mapped in an area could be pretty handy too. But I Can't get too excited about topo maps with 50m contours.
Now here's the dilemma - you can't beat bikely.com for quantity of routes. Will the more appealing features of bikemap.net win out ?
Maybe not if Kev's problem is shared by others.
Edit 8:36 - have now tested it on IE8 - no trouble.
Here it is for the bravehearts horsley park commute
PS - isnt the canal cycleway blocked presently by Boral's work at the dam end ?

So much for six seasons and a movie. On Friday NBC canceled the low-rated "Community," a move that is sure to upset the innovative sitcom's small but intensely devoted fan base.
It also axed the comedy "Growing Up Fisher" and the dramas "Revolution," "Crisis" and "Believe."
The cancellation of "Community" brings an end to nearly nonstop speculation about the fate of the show, which takes place at a community college in Colorado and has narrowly escaped death several times. Though its premiere back in 2009 attracted almost 8 million viewers, its audience has since declined to less than 3 million. For the past two seasons, NBC has ordered only 13 episodes of "Community" and bumped it to midseason, prompting fans to wage social media campaigns to save it.
In addition to its ratings woes, "Community" has also weathered internal drama, including the departure of temperamental star Chevy Chase and the firing (and eventual re-hiring) of eccentric showrunner Dan Harmon. Its renewal last year came as something of a surprise, but the show's unusually dedicated fans may have kept it alive for another season.
When it premiered in the fall of 2012 following heavy promotion during the London Olympics, the post-apocalyptic series "Revolution" was one of the few bright spots in NBC's troubled prime-time lineup. But after a four-month hiatus and without a powerful lead-in from "The Voice," the show's ratings began to decline last season and continued on a downward trajectory in its sophomore outing, hitting a low of just 3.8 million viewers this week.
NBC's decision not to renew the rookie dramas "Crisis" and "Believe" does not come as a surprise. The midseason replacements have both fared poorly in the ratings on jampacked Sunday nights. Their fate was sealed earlier this week when NBC yanked both shows from its schedule from the final Sunday in May sweeps, replacing them with a "Saturday Night Live" clip show.
The demise of first-year comedy "Growing Up Fisher" was less certain, though not exactly a shock. The sitcom about an 11-year-old boy struggling to adjust after his free-spirited mother and blind father divorce premiered at midseason to a robust 8.9 million viewers but has seen its audience decline steadily to about 5 million.
