|Parkinson's Disease Essential Tremor
The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is based on a set of clinical assessments that do not provide great accuracy. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transcranial sonography (TCS) have provided important advances in the diagnosis of a number of neurological diseases, few biomarkers of PD have been described in order to support its clinical diagnosis.
Recently, one single study showed that high field MRI using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was able discriminate PD from healthy volunteers. This study had a small sample size (14 patients and 14 controls) and did not include the main differential diagnosis of PD.
The main objective of this study is to confirm previous findings, with a larger sample size, describe possible changes of DTI parameters in patients with essential tremor (one of the main differential diagnosis of PD), and compare DTI MRI with TCS. Our primary outcome will be the fractional anisotropy (FA) in the caudal portion of substantia nigra. As a consequence, new algorithm to discriminate PD, essential tremor and healthy volunteers will be proposed. This has a pivotal importance in order to provide support to clinical diagnosis of PD and increase its accuracy.

Thanks to JohnH and a local shop, I'm caught up with DCUC - I ended up getting series 3 friday, and series 4 on saturday.I have a bit of a problem though that I'm hoping someone can help out with. The right arm for Despero (that came with Cyborg) has some sort of a manufacturing defect. The joint on the shoulder socket has some excess plastic, so it can't move. Because of this, the only way I can put the arm in is to have it sticking straight out. This issue is compounded by the fact that the pin that goes into the body is also messed up, so the arm just falls out. I just got off the phone with Mattels customer support, and they don't have replacement parts for these guys. So although they are going to send me out a voucher for the value of the figure, that doesn't do me much good for replacing the arm. If the figures were available on shelves it wouldn't be a big deal - I could just go buy another one with the voucher. But I had to get series 4 through a collector shop, and it was the only one.So if there is anyone who has picked up Cyborg (who's completely awesome btw) and has no interest on building Despero, please let me know. Hopefully we can arrange some sort of appropriate cost for the arm.
Picked up the chase Captain Atom today. I had no intentions to but saw it on the pegs at TRU after getting angry at my Walmart for not searching the back for the Walmart wave even though the computer showed them in stock.
Quote from: evenflow on November 19, 2008, 07:31 PMPicked up the chase Captain Atom today. I had no intentions to but saw it on the pegs at TRU after getting angry at my Walmart for not searching the back for the Walmart wave even though the computer showed them in stock. You have a Walmart that shows when product is in stock?
Our Walmarts aren't that cooperative I'm afraid. They can do it, but won't. I asked them to check for stock once with their own shelf tag to see if they had any and they refused. They actually wouldn't check to see if they had something I wanted to buy from them. Great business. Needing help with Riddler and Captain Atom since I can't see these coming to Canada. I've got paypal. Also scored a loose Cassandra Cain Batgirl off ebay for $4.75. Nice to get that one out of the way, but I'm still needing a Two-Face DCSH. Kinda hoping they re-release it as a villain within this line.
Still needing an Atom and a Riddler from the newest wave.

Kevin Slimp made a name for himself by learning how to use and explain the rapidly changing technology available to American newspapers.
He has appeared at newspaper association conventions all over the United States and Canada for seminars on such complex software as Photoshop, InDesign and Quark, as well as new hardware tools that hit the market.
Chances are that you've used an innovation inspired by his work by downloading a "PDF" document, originally developed in the 1990s as a remote printing method.
Now he's taking his message a giant step further by contradicting those who contend that the newspaper industry is dying.
Slimp, who is director of the Institute of Newspaper Technology and a faculty member at the University of Tennessee College of Communication and Information, was the keynote speaker Friday at the annual convention of the Arkansas Press Association in Eureka Springs. His appearance was sponsored in part by the Arkansas Newspaper Foundation, for which I serve as treasurer.
At his website, he bills himself as a newspaper guru. His message to Arkansas editors and publishers last week was basically this: "Quit worrying about what everybody is telling you (about the impending death of newspapers) and keep putting out a good newspaper."
The problem is that too many publishers are forgetting that primary mission — to publish a good newspaper. Staff cutbacks and early press deadlines make that hard to do.
Slimp told of his involvement as an informal consultant after the "reorganization" of the New Orleans Times-Picayune last year. Advance Publications, owned by the Newhouse family, switched the daily newspaper to three times a week in traditional broadsheet form and three times a week in an electronic only format. The Saturday publication is just an early print edition of the Sunday paper with some breaking news.
If you think that's confusing, imagine how New Orleans subscribers must have felt.
After Advance Chairman Steve Newhouse announced the plan, similarly applied to the company's newspapers in Mobile, Birmingham and Huntsville, Ala., Slimp said, he was contacted by a man representing various well-heeled New Orleans residents who abhorred the move. They believed New Orleans would not be considered an attractive location as a city without a daily newspaper.
Slimp said he consulted with the group, which considered offering to buy the Times-Picayune or starting their own newspaper, and advised them that some other company would probably see the market potential and move in quickly.
Sure enough, last October The Advocate of Baton Rouge established a New Orleans bureau and launched a daily New Orleans edition. Within months that edition's circulation had climbed to more than 20,000.
More significantly, on May 1 wealthy businessman John Georges, one of the New Orleans people who had been upset by the Advance move and its refusal to sell the Times-Picayune, announced the purchase of The Advocate. Georges hired two former Times-Picayune editors to head his New Orleans edition.
Georges was accompanied at the news conference by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, indicating that the home team has chosen sides. Last July, Sen. David Vitter, R-La., wrote a hot letter to Newhouse, warning, "From a pure business perspective, you're about to get smoked."
Meanwhile, the Times-Picayune started a three-times-weekly tabloid publication called TPStreet on its previously electronic-only days, but it is available only on newsstands.
Another "Battle of New Orleans" is obviously well under way.
Slimp is not the only one offering hopeful news for the American newspaper industry and its most loyal readers.
The Alliance for Audited Media (formerly Audit Bureau of Circulations) has reported a welcome stabilization in daily newspaper circulation over the past two years. The main reason is the growth of paid digital circulation, which this March represented 19.3 percent of U.S. daily newspapers' total average circulation, up from 14.2 percent a year ago.
That's an indication Americans are looking for newspapers, in whatever form, to deliver the community information and advertising they want. Newspapers own 11 of the top 25 news and information sites online.
A new study released last week by the Pew Internet & American Life Project disputes the common belief that young people aren't interested in the printed page, commonly considered as symptomatic of the decline of newspapers.
Americans between 16 and 29 have been labeled "digital natives" since they came of age in the Internet era. Despite their heavy dependence on smart phones, tablets and other computers, some 75 percent of the young people surveyed said they had read at least one book in the past year. That's compared to 64 percent of adults age 30 and older.
While none of the questions specifically targeted newspapers, the fact that young people still have a high regard for the printed page is encouraging.
Research by the Readership Institute at Northwestern University found that 52 percent of consumers say that newspapers are where they go to check out advertisements — 5 percent more than any other medium; that 46 percent say that newspapers are their preferred medium for ad information, while television comes in fourth at 10 percent.
Indeed, Slimp said that many advertisers are finding that they get greater return for their ad dollars in print publications than in other media and that digital advertising doesn't even come close.

"You can't pass the right kind of laws without the right lawmakers in office," Fr. Pavone said.
"America has spoken to its lawmakers about their concerns. The lawmakers have spoken back. Now it's our move again. This law will be challenged in many ways. And it's time to prepare for November's elections, so that the changes the American people see fit to make can be made."
"Yesterday I was privileged to deliver a homily at a prayer service held in the Capitol for members of Congress," Fr. Pavone added. "I spoke about the fact that authority and power mean service, and that the people whom the legislators serve are not their people, but God's people. We govern ourselves; our voices matter. Thank God that when legislators take public policy the wrong way, there are ways to remedy that. Let's get started."
This Wednesday night, March 24, Priests for Life and the other groups who are part of the "Vote Pro-life Coalition" will host a national teleconference as a followup to this health care vote. Experts from Focus on the Family and National Right to Life will share their perspectives on what happened, and the November elections will be discussed. Sign up for the teleconference, which you can follow either by phone or computer, at www.priestsforlife.org/conferencecall.

Connecticut Commute Advice
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy says spending the week in New York City is a good idea for Connecticut residents who normally commute to work there. That's because repair of damaged tracks that handle Metro North trains and Amtrak's New York-Boston service will take about that long to fix. The derailment that caused the problem is under investigation.

Business Challenge
Northwestern University Information Technology (NUIT) delivers computing services to nearly 25,000 students, faculty, and staff across three campuses in Illinois. With limited visibility into application performance, health, and availability, NUIT had to manually review problem logs to track down the source of issues. Resolution was time-consuming and inefficient, as support teams were unable to collaborate around data. In many cases, poor application performance and availability led to a less than favorable user experience.
BMC Solution
NUIT uses TrueSight App Visibility Manager (formerly BMC End User Experience Management) to power a web-based capacity and availability service monitoring dashboard that keeps IT teams informed of potential performance problems and enable thousands of university end-users to check the status of their web applications.
Business Impact
The BMC solution empowers both NUIT and the end users it supports with real-time visibility into application performance and issues.
- Robust real-time and historical data accelerate problem detection and resolution to improve the user experience.
- Putting the right data in the hands of the operations team and application owners has saved hours of staff time and improved collaboration on issues.
- Accurate measurement and tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs) demonstrate quality of service based on concrete data to improve decision-making.
- Visibility into the performance, health, and availability of applications has improved end-user satisfaction.
"We have an accurate way to measure usage, performance, and availability. Instead of relying on hearsay, we have a baseline for an intelligent conversation about performance. This lets us meet our obligation to all of our users and deliver the services they expect from a world-class university."— Dana Nielsen, Director of Monitoring and Management Systems, Northwestern University IT

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Driver is Given Damages and Sabbath Accommodations
MEMPHIS -- United Parcel Service (UPS) will offer monetary damages and religious accommodations to a 19-year employee at UPS's Bartlett, Tenn., facility to resolve a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The lawsuit, EEOC v. UPS, Inc. (Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-02576 filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee), charged UPS violated federal law by refusing to accommodate the religious beliefs of one of its drivers and trying to force him to work past sundown on his Sabbath, which violates his tenets as a member of the United Church of God.
Religious discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which mandates that sincerely held religious beliefs of employees must be accommodated by employers as long as it does not cause an undue hardship on the company. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. UPS denied that it engaged in discrimination against the employee.
Under the terms of the three-year consent decree settling the suit, UPS will pay $23,500 to the employee as damages. UPS also agreed to maintain a policy which comports with Title VII in order to provide reasonable accommodations for employees' religious beliefs. In addition, UPS must conduct training on the prevention of discrimination based on religion for all of its Bartlett managers. The employer is also enjoined from discriminating against employees by unlawfully denying religious accommodation and from unlawfully retaliating against employees who participated in this proceeding. UPS agreed to provide a variety of options to reasonably accommodate the employee's religious beliefs, including allowing the employee to be relieved of overtime; to use accrued vacation days; to request personal holidays; to request unpaid leave when available; and to use allotted unexcused absences.
"Religious discrimination is not to be taken lightly," said Faye Williams, the EEOC's regional attorney for its Memphis District, which covers Tennessee, Arkansas and Northern Mississippi. "All employers must respond reasonably to an employee's religious accommodation requests."
According to company information, UPS, the world's largest package delivery company, delivers more than 15 million packages a day to 6.1 million customers in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. Since 2005, its operations include logistics and other transportation-related areas.
Religious discrimination charge filings reported to EEOC offices nationwide have substantially increased from 1,388 in Fiscal Year 1992 to 3,273 in FY 2008.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Hello to all my fellow Smith admirers.
I have written a script for a student film for my dissertation piece. As you all may be aware, finding information (correct) about the beginning of the Smiths is difficult to come by. I would appreciate any help in collecting this information. This film will be as accurate as i can make it, and will refere to the music rather than the personal lives of the band. I would appreciate any accounts of early gigs, meetings, early fan clubs societies etc, personal meetings, memorabilia, clothing anything realy.
I am also looking for young Morrisey impersionators as well as the whole of the Smiths. I am looking to cast these parts in the film. We also need tribute band to record and play their music which will be on the sound track.
Filming will take place up in Manchester/Mansfield. From end Feburary for at least 3 weeks.
If any one can help me with this it would be great to involve everyone whom is passionate about them.
Please email me on email@example.com for any information you may need or questions.
Many Thanks

Minimalist Bedroom Inspiration for a Spring Cleaning Mindset
The arrival of spring inspires us to remove clutter and start fresh, and the bedroom is a great place to begin. No matter what kind of cleaning project or renovation is going on in the rest of the house, if your bedroom is a serene environment, things are a little less hectic. Having a calm bedroom with fewer distractions can help you to sleep better and relax more, so why not clear the clutter and create a soothing place to unwind in?
Here is some visual inspiration to get you started:

Pilgrims advance; Falcons fall
PLYMOUTH — One local team's defensive struggles are sending them home for the offseason, another's defensive prowess will give them a shot at a sectional title as Glenn fell to South Bend St. Joe by a 63-49 final and Plymouth won a classic with Marian 59-57 at the Plymouth Sectional on Friday.
Plymouth 59, Marian 57
It was a classic but not for the reason many thought it would be.
Plymouth squaring off with Marian featured two of the state's top players in Mack Mercer of Plymouth and Marian guard Demetrius Jackson and many waited to see how the two would battle each other with a sectional title on the line.
While Mercer watched with foul trouble for much of the game his teammates matched Jackson and the Knights move for move and came away with a big win.
"They are explosive; they won the championship last year and we knew they weren't going to go out without a fight," said Plymouth coach Ryan Bales. "They showed that. We got up a few times and extended the lead and put ourselves in good positions but they battled back. Our kids showed a lot of grit and got the job done."
That they did. Joe Knapp had the game of his life with 24 points and Kyser McCrammer scored the eight biggest points of his defensive-minded career in Plymouth basketball. His tip-in basket late in the game could very well be considered a game winner.
"A lot of (their) attention was on Mack," said Bales. "Kyser cut without the ball he got an offensive rebound and he got the ball off a screen and on top of that he's guarding the best player in the state and expending all that effort. He didn't quite match Demetrius' point total but that's fine it was enough to get it done."
Jackson ended the night with 19 points, eight rebounds and three assists and steals in his attempt to carry his team on his back late in the game, but McCrammer and fellow defensive specialist Ike Kastner were able to force turnovers from the future Notre Dame point guard at crucial moments that would be key to a Plymouth win.
While Mercer didn't spend a bulk of the game on the floor, the time he was there he was definitely a force to be reckoned with. He ended the night with 11 points, 12 rebounds — six of those in a key stretch late in the fourth quarter — four assists and five blocked shots.
Mercer spent time on the sideline due to an injury earlier in the year and Bales felt it might have been that time when other players needed to take up the slack, that could have been crucial in the win.
"Sometimes things happen for a reason," said Bales. "I always hate to see kids get injured; we don't want them off the court but our kids made plays to get the job done tonight and it might have had something to do with the confidence they gained earlier in the year.
"It was a team effort. That group of upperclassmen in at the end when Mack went out — they stepped up, they showed some toughness, we got some key stops, some timely buckets off hustle plays, maybe a rebound, maybe a dive on the floor, we found a way."
Plymouth (19-3) will have to find a way again Saturday night against St. Joe to win a sectional title. Marian ends the year at 11-10.

St. Joe 63, Glenn 49
"We weren't very good defensively. They were quicker than we were — we tried to go zone and they started knocking down shots from the perimeter. We had a hard time guarding them and that was the bottom line."
A short but poignant bottom line from Glenn head coach Travis Hannah as he watched his team expend a lot of effort but was never quite able to lock down the Indians enough to make it hurt.
"I think we might have seen it coming," said Hannah. "We hadn't practiced very well the last couple of days. I was hoping we'd come out with more energy than we did."
While Glenn piled up first-half turnovers — 10 to be exact — St. Joe still struggled to break away. Early in the third quarter the Falcons were able to cut the deficit to five points. That's when St. Joe found its range and for the fourth quarter it was a matter of shooting free throws.
Tyler Prentkowski carried the offensive effort early with four three's ending the night with 15 points, Austen Hayes had 14 and Jake Strong was a force inside with 13 rebounds but it wouldn't be enough.
"We played OK in spurts but in a game like this you have to have everybody step up and play and I never felt like we came up with the right combination," said Hannah. "I was digging, subbing guys to find that right combination to get us going but I don't think we ever found the right group. We struggled offensively and when you struggle defensively too it's going to go like that."
"We played a tough schedule and I think our kids grew up a lot. It bodes well for us but we have to get a lot of work done in the off season," said Hannah. "We never really got over that hump. I don't know what the sectional record for three-point plays is but it seemed like every time they made a shot we had somebody with a body on them."
Glenn ends its year at 8-14, St. Joe (13-9) plays Plymouth for the sectional title Saturday night.

Chris Goss, Masters of Reality were something of an anomaly on the late-'80s/early-'90s rock scene, playing a strongly Cream- and Zeppelin-influenced brand of hard rock with modern touches. Their original members included bassist Googe, guitarist Tim Harrington, and drummer Vinnie Ludovico. Goss broke up the band shortly after their well-received, self-titled debut album in 1989; he reformed the group as a trio a few years later with Googe and legendary ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker. This lineup recorded 1993's Sunrise on the Sufferbus, which slightly altered the group's sound but again received enthusiastic reviews. However, Masters of Reality never quite fit into prevailing hard rock trends, and they remained a well-kept secret to most of the listening public. In hindsight, their retro obsessions and warm, spacious guitar sound set a clear precedent for the '90s stoner rock movement; while the Masters' less metallic sound wouldn't have been a perfect stylistic fit, the link was reinforced by Goss' acclaimed production work on three of the four Kyuss albums. Those records helped pave the way for a new career in production for Goss, and Masters of Reality went on hiatus for several years. Goss reunited with Googe in 1997, adding guitarist Brendon McNichol and drummer Victor Indrizzo for a series of live dates that resulted in the album How High the Moon: Live at the Viper Room. An all-new studio album titled Welcome to the Western Lodge was released in Europe in 1999, but did not appear on American shores until Spitfire licensed it in early 2001.

People have been making kind of a big deal about how the director of the new anime Psycho-Pass, Motohiro Katsuyuki, has mentioned banning usage of the word "moe" among the staff, in order to counter current trends in anime. I've seen some people take this as a psuedo-rallying point, a sort of "BOOYAH! In your face, MOE!" attitude. I've seen reactions taking it as an attack on moe, a "Why are you so unenlightened?" response. For me, when I first read about it, I laughed, not because I'm for moe or against it, but I immediately thought of how ambiguous a word like moe could be and how it can potentially impact the creative process by being so ambiguous.
Other than the information we already have, I don't have any insight into the production of Psycho-Pass so everything from here is purely hypothetical and speculative.
When you think about actually having the word moe be a part of discussions when creating an anime, you inevitably have to deal with "moe" as a conscious effort, and I can imagine it impacting the direction of a work. This is not an inherently bad thing, but I feel that just by banning the word you might end up having to explain things more concretely, or at least in a way that doesn't use such specialized language. In some ways, I can see how "make it more moe" as a way of describing how something should be can be about as helpful as asking someone to "make it 20% cooler," as the My Little Pony saying goes.
To say a word is banned doesn't meant that elements won't slip back in. Let's replace "moe" with "hardcore." Imagine if the interview said, "We banned the word 'hardcore' from our staff meetings." While you might not have direct references to pro wrestling or other similar material, there's a fair chance some kind of physicality or extreme imagery might make it back in. I don't know if it'll really happen with Psycho-Pass, but moe does not need a specific directive for it to appear. Even without the intent behind it, it can still happen.

BTW sorry for the bad English, I'm bad at it)

Trimesters: Here to stay?
SSC rolls into its third section of curriculum
STANDISH — For the 2008-2009 school year, Standish-Sterling Central (SSC) high school decided to try a fairly new and increasingly popular schedule that breaks down the year into three portions instead of the traditional two.
And from the sound of it, as SSC rolls into its third trimester, the schedule will be permanent.
According to SSC Principal Mark Williams, things have gone well in the first year of trimesters.
"We're (teachers, students, administrators) getting our timing down," Williams said. "The only real trouble so far was the switch from the second to third trimester.
"It was in the middle of the week and we were doing testing for the Michigan Merit Exam, so it was kind of hectic. Next year we'll do it on a Friday. We learned on that one."
He added more days were scheduled into the trimester to account for snow days but more planning needs to be done to account for a smooth transition next year.
Jon McPherson, SSC high school guidance counselor, says the switch was a much-welcomed move for him.
"The school I used to be at made the switch from seven to five (classes per day) and saw real improvement," McPherson said. "I was excited when I was told of the plan."
Students, teachers and administrators believe the switch provides students more opportunity to complete state-required classes and the ability to be in the same class each day favors all parties.
"It's (trimesters) good, we can get more classes of any kind," SSC Junior Victoria Greenwood said, adding required courses are much easier to complete under trimesters. "I think it's easier on teachers seeing the same kids every day. It gives them more time to focus."
"Students are more focused when they can meet with their teachers each day," McPherson said, adding when snow days or other circumstances disrupt block scheduling, students and teachers go four days sometimes without meeting, often creating a "waste day," where instead of introducing new material, the session is dedicated to reviewing the last meeting's material.
"In theory, you have more time with your class," the counselor said. "There's more opportunity to complete course requirements and stay with your graduating class."
"Michigan requirements increased for the class of 2011 and beyond," Williams said. "This way, you'll have 15 classes a year instead of 14."
According to McPherson, there are a few hindrances trimesters create.
"Some situations, a student will have to go 12 weeks without a certain course in which a student will experience a gap," he said, adding teachers recognized this and have worked well with the students to refresh the students on what they may have forgotten.
He also says gaps help a student in the long run as they'll most likely experience gaps in the real world and in college.
Williams believes trimesters are here to stay at SSC as it isn't any more expensive and he says more and more schools are making the switch to achieve the new state-guidelines.

Oscar: Khan still hunting Mayweather
Amir Khan may still be reeling from his mauling at the hands of Danny Garcia, but Oscar de la Hoya feels the Brit is just two wins away from a clash with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Khan's suspect chin was brutally exposed once again in Las Vegas, as he was demolished by Garcia - with the defeat appearing to put paid to any plans to step up to 147lbs.
There have been calls from respected figures in the game for Khan to retire. He has scoffed at such suggestions and De La Hoya, whose Golden Boy act as the 25-year-old's promoters, feels he can get back on a trail leading to a meeting with Mayweather Jr.
"I believe the Mayweather fight isn't dead as Amir Khan is a tremendous boxer and tremendous puncher," De la Hoya said.
"We get him another win or two wins and he's back in the picture because of his talent and his qualities.
"Amir Khan, he will be back. No question about that, Amir will be back."

Umoona Opal Mine & Museum,
Coober Pedy, SA
There's a relaxed and friendly vibe in Coober Pedy, where 3,500 residents from over 45 different countries have literally gone underground to avoid the searing outback heat. Most people work in the opal fields but their quirky underground community - complete with a church, hotels and a grassless golf course - has made tourism the second biggest industry.
Discovered in 1913 by 14-year-old Willie Hutchison, Coober Pedy takes its name from the Aboriginal word kupa (uninitiated man or white man) and piti (hole). Today its 70 fields cover almost 5,000 square kilometres and produce most of the world's opals.

Justin Allgaier Texas Motor Speedway Event Preview
November 3, 2009
Justin Allgaier
No. 12 Verizon Wireless Dodge Charger
Texas Motor Speedway – O'Reilly Challenge
November 7, 2009
No. 12 Penske Racing Verizon Wireless Dodge Charger News and Notes
• This Week's Charger… The No. 12 Verizon Wireless Dodge team will race chassis PRS-008 during Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Texas Motor Speedway. PRS-008 last saw racing action at Lowe's Motor Speedway three weeks ago. Allgaier had the Dodge Charger positioned well inside the top-10 but, with three laps to go, the right rear tire went flat and he finished in the 12th spot.
• New Look... This weekend, the Verizon Wireless Dodge will sport a new look at Texas Motor Speedway. The No. 12 machine will feature a white, black and red paint scheme for the remaining three races on the 2009 schedule.
• Tested and Approved… Allgaier and the No. 12 Verizon Wireless team participated in the first NASCAR Nationwide Series Car of Tomorrow test at the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway on Monday, November 2.
• Dialed In… Allgaier will visit the Verizon Wireless store in Grapevine, Tex. on Friday, November 6. The talented rookie racer will sign autographs and visit with employees from 8-9 pm CT. The store is located at 1400 William D Tate Ave. in Grapevine, Tex.
• Watch and Listen… The O'Reilly Challenge will be seen live on Saturday, November 7, on ESPN2 with coverage beginning at 12 p.m. ET. The event will also be heard live on PRN Radio as well as Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 128.
Justin Allgaier on driving at Texas Motor Speedway
"Texas Motor Speedway is really fast. [Crew chief] Chad [Walter] has been really working on our downforce package over the last couple of months and we feel like we have really made some gains, which will show up this weekend. We know we have a job left to do in order to achieve our season goals. These last three weeks of the season are going to be crucial in allowing us to get there. The guys on our team are just awesome. They work so hard every day to make sure our Verizon Wireless Dodge is fast, week in and week out. It is just such a pleasure to work with them and to be the driver of this car."
Crew Chief Chad Walter on racing at Texas Motor Speedway
"Texas Motor Speedway is a great mile-and-a-half track. Handling and track position are the keys to success. You have to have your car pinned to the bottom on both ends of the track in order to have a shot to win. Track position is crucial. These cars are so aero dependent that you need to keep your machine in clean air, and the only way to do that is to be leading. We had a good run there in the spring, and I feel like we are a much better team the second time around."

Biden, Hillary Clinton cross paths yet again
NEW YORK - One is a party luminary who draws intense political speculation wherever she goes. The other is the vice president of the United States, harboring his own higher ambitions. Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Joe Biden appeared together Wednesday in New York, an event putting on display the unusual dynamics between these two friends and sometime-rivals.
Tuesday breakfasts
The likely subtext at the Clinton Global Initiative's annual awards ceremony, where Biden and Clinton honored citizens who tackle problems around the globe: whether either of them could someday win the ultimate prize they each sought in the past - the White House.
Biden, before presenting an award to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, acknowledged their friendship. "We miss you," Biden told Clinton from the podium. "I miss our Tuesday morning breakfasts."
Both have a base of loyal supporters encouraging them to run again, and neither has ruled it out. Many Democrats suggest the former first lady, who does not hold political office, would have a heavy advantage over Biden, who ranks second only to the president among the nation's elected Democrats, should both get in the race. Until they each decide whether to run, such joint appearances will make for interesting political theater.
"It's like a Rorschach inkblot. People will read into it what they want to see," said Maria Cardona, who advised Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. "Most people would think, 'How uncomfortable must it be to be in the same room with them!' Probably not for them."
Clinton and Biden share a long history that has evolved over decades. They have been Senate colleagues, 2008 primary opponents, and principal players on foreign policy in the Obama administration. And their alliance dates back to Bill Clinton's presidency, when Biden used his perch on the Senate Judiciary Committee to help pass legislation targeting crime, gun violence and domestic abuse.
During the dinner, the Clintons sat next to the vice president and his wife, Jill Biden. Those who have worked with Clinton and Biden say they're genuine friends.
Mutual praise
In July, the two dined on eggs, bacon and fresh fruit at the vice president's residence at the Naval Observatory, which is within walking distance of the Clintons' Washington home. The breakfast came a day after Clinton had lunch at the White House with President Barack Obama, stoking speculation the president might be signaling his support for her.
A month earlier, Biden and Clinton spoke in New York at the funeral of Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. And in April, they shared the stage at another awards ceremony at the Kennedy Center, where they praised each other like old chums.
"Vice President Biden and I have worked together on so many issues," Clinton said.
"There's no woman like Hillary Clinton," Biden chimed in.

TSU Extends Streak to Six With 81-69 Win Over SEMO
Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team held on to defeat Southeast Missouri State, 81-69, on Saturday night.
The victory kept two streaks alive by winning the game as the Tigers improved to 5-0 in conference play and 6-0 inside the Gentry Center. TSU has now won 17 of its last 18 home games dating back to last season.
Kellen Thornton had a career-high 28 points in the victory (10-of-15) and tied a career-high with 16 boards.
Patrick Miller also had a strong game with 20 points (7-of-13) and five assists. Miller has now scored over 10 points in every game of TSU's six-game winning streak.
TSU (11-7, 5-0 OVC) started the game on an 11-4 run that featured three threes from Miller, Tashan Fredrick and Jordan Cyphers. The strong outside shooting helped the home squad drill nine of its first 12 field goals in the game (75 percent).
The Tigers eventually stretched the lead to 20-7 when Jordan Gaither poured in a contested jumper from the elbow. The score prompted SEMO head coach Dickey Nutt to call the team's first timeout of the contest.
The stoppage in play did little to slow down the Tigers, as Thornton put TSU up by 12 with a slam at the 5:10 mark.
Thornton finished the first period with 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting (67 percent). The senior also had a half-high five rebounds.
Thornton added another jam with 40 seconds remaining in the half, and the Tigers went to the locker room with a 43-29 lead.
TSU shot a season-high 64 percent (13-20) from the field during the first half and drained a season-best five triples.
SEMO (10-9, 2-3) was able to cut TSU's lead down to nine during the first eight minutes of the second stanza, but Cyphers nailed his third three of the game to put the Tigers up 61-49.
Again the Redhawks made a charge, and got within three of TSU when SEMO's Nick Niemczyk nailed a three with three-and-a-half minutes to play. The shot was part of a 15-6 Redhawk run.
TSU head coach Travis Williams called a timeout after the triple and drew up a play for Cyphers. The guard was open from beyond the arc and drained another three to make the score 73-67 in favor of the home squad.
TSU only allowed SEMO to make one more basket during the game's last three minutes and the Redhawks were forced to foul TSU for the remainder of the contest. The Tigers were a perfect 6-for-6 from beyond the charity stripe during the last minute of the game, and hung on for an 81-69 victory.
TSU was 19-of-22 (86.4 percent) from the free-throw line while SEMO was just 6-of-16 (37.5 percent).
Tennessee State will put its perfect conference and home records on the line when the squad plays Jacksonville State on Thursday, Jan. 17. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be shown on the OVC Digital Network.

WCSU 'Election Connection 2012' coverage earns national honors
Telly, Communicator awards recognize innovation in TV, web and social media formats
DANBURY, CONN. — The Western Connecticut State University production of live broadcast, Web and social media coverage of regional results in the November 2012 national and state elections has earned two national communications awards recognizing excellence in programming and innovation in use of information technology.
"Election Connection 2012," a four-hour election night broadcast collaboration with Charter Communications that featured a crew of more than 40 WCSU students and faculty members, recently was chosen from more than 12,000 entries as a bronze winner in the 34th annual Telly Awards competition honoring outstanding TV, film and video productions worldwide. The program, produced by WCSU Associate Professor of Communication and Media Arts Dr. JC Barone, also recently received the Communicator Award of Distinction from the International Academy of the Visual Arts, an elite communications and marketing industry organization that honors works of exceptional quality, innovation, achievement and impact.
The program, broadcast from 8 p.m. to midnight on Nov. 6 from the Charter Cable Access Studio in Newtown, was anchored by a WCSU team of six faculty members and two students who delivered real-time coverage of presidential, congressional and state legislative election results from 15 western Connecticut cities and towns in Fairfield, Litchfield and New Haven counties. WCSU students also provided reports from headquarters of the U.S. Senate and Fifth Congressional District candidates.
Organized as part of the fall 2012 "Broadcast Live News and Politics" media arts class in Western's communication department, "Election Connection" built upon the multi-media programming introduced in the first-ever election night collaboration between WCSU and Charter in November 2011. The 2012 production offered live streaming on the university website, a radio simulcast on the university radio station WXCI-FM, and social media access on Facebook and Twitter. Viewers also were invited to send tweets with comments and questions that were relayed to the anchor team during the broadcast.
"Three years ago, I approached the communication department about doing a show of this scope and focus," Barone recalled. "We got the green light and premiered in 2011, and it's been thrilling to work on this program ever since. We've built something meaningful for the community and we're proud of the work we have accomplished. The response to the show has been wonderful and humbling."
The technical innovations of the "Election Connection" production were showcased in April at the annual convention of the Broadcast Education Association and National Association of Broadcasters, held in Las Vegas. Barone, WCSU Adjunct Professor of Communication Tom Zarecki, and 2013 Western graduates Brittany Nisco and Steve Marucci participated in a BEA panel discussion, "Using Smartphones and Social Media for Production and Distribution."
Barone observed that professionals attending the panel praised the WCSU program's "high production values and pioneering use of mobile devices and social media. Our 'technology cocktail' included a great mix of traditional and emerging technology thanks to assistance from our IT people at Western.
"A key element in the innovative use of technology and social media in teaching the election course is the enabling atmosphere at WCSU, which supports creativity and experimentation along with proven learning approaches," he said. "I'm pushing this wagon, but without my department, colleagues, dean and talented students, this project would not have succeeded."
The positive response to Western's election night programs in 2011 and 2012 has energized Barone to begin preparations for this year's production from 8 to 11 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5. As in previous years, the 2013 program will be broadcast on the Charter community access channel with a WXCI-FM radio simulcast and live streaming on the WCSU website.
"This fall is going to be very exciting locally," Barone observed. "We'll be covering the races and the issues in ways that no one else will be doing, and we'll be integrating even more social media and interactivity into the show this year. I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and start working with a new team of students and faculty for this year's show!"
Barone expressed his gratitude to "the many individuals at Western who selflessly gave so many hours of time, research and talent to ensure the success of our project." Specifically, he cited "Dr. Katy Wiss (communication department chair) and Dr. Bill Petkanas (professor of communication), for their early insight and support; Liz Popiel (professor of theatre arts), for designing and building the set on a shoestring budget; program anchors Dr. Chris Kukk (professor of political science), Dr. Casey Jordan (professor of justice and law administration), Dr. Truman Keys (assistant professor of communication), Dr. Jay Brower (assistant professor of communication), Dr. Fred Maidment (professor of management) and Dr. D. L. Stephenson (assistant professor of communication); Tammy McVey-Camilleri, for her reporting assistance; Tom Zarecki and sound engineer Pat Carlone, from WXCI-FM; Jason Esposito, Stephen Veillette and Rich Parmalee, from Information Technology and Innovation; Peggy Stewart, WCSU photographer; and Sherri Hill, from University Relations."

Every year, CES presents three or four or 1,563 examples of why the term "consumer electronics" is a bit too broadly defined for its own good. 4K OLEDs? Awesome. Brain-activated user interfaces that let us control computers with membranes? Totally awesome. Vibrators? Isn't there a porn show in Vegas just a few weeks from now? Here are a few other examples of companies that are taking liberties with consumers and electronics.
Party Animals
Holy hell, they're back and this time, they come in costumes. We thought these things were pretty disturbing the first time around, but now they've expanded in animal varieties and outfits. Perfect for scaring the bejesus out of your children, or convincing them against adopting a puppy.
MiniMe lets you convert a flat, 2D digital image into a 3D photo. Okay, that sounds kind of cool. But this application? Absolutely terrifying. That baby looks like it's staring into my soul, and I don't want lifeless, Tigger costume-wearing dolls to do that.
Trojan Vibrations
Trojan made headline rounds this year when it traveled across American cities and gave out free vibrators from its Vibrations line. Apparently, Las Vegas was no different, and the company found no better place than a convention center full of tech nerds to give a little love. You could argue that sex toys are a consumer electronic in their own right, but it's pretty disturbing to walk two steps from an educational brainwave-controlled headband to massagers for your privates. Sensory overload.
Butt shows. BUTT SHOWS. If you must know, Fujiiryoki was showcasing a line of exercise machines designed to help wiggle the junk out of your trunk. Yikes.
We already pondered how TOSY managed to afford a giant booth for its mRobo dancing robot, and this promotional bag does not help with our confusion. Would you spend $200 on this flamboyantly flexible robot? $100? $20?
Garrett Metal Detectors
The CES layout is generally divided into zones according to categories, such as Digital Health Summit, Gaming Showcase, Robotics, and Sustainable Planet. I think I mistakenly walked into the home shopping network section of the floor.
ITOYA Profolio
The Las Vegas Convention center gives attendees the usual option to rent motorized scooters if they're unable to hoof it, and this being an electronics show, there were also some people roaming around in Segways looking like complete tools. Don't they know this is how you get around in style?

New Concept Propels Revived Flint RV Show
March 21, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on New Concept Propels Revived Flint RV Show
The Flint Camper and RV Show teamed up with a new partner to bring their expo back to Flint after a year off, The Flint Journal reported.
The RV show and the Flint Spring Home and Garden Show occupied the Perani Arena and Event Center, 3501 Lapeer Road, Friday through Sunday.
This weekend served as the second annual home and garden show, and the RV show had been coming to Flint since the 1970s before not holding an expo in 2010.
It worked well for both parties, as more than 3,000 people had attended through Sunday afternoon. The dual-show expo brought more traffic to both sides of Perani Arena, said Rosalie Lamb, a show manager for the home and garden show.
"Our primary customers are homeowners and families, and the same is true of the RV show," Lamb said.
More than 50 RVs were set up in the arena's soccer facility, while the hockey rink was covered for displays on the home and garden side.
While Grand Blanc resident Laurie Thal came to look at fieldstone paving, which are rocks that come in differently cut shapes, for a walkway, she said she enjoyed looking at other booths on the home and garden side.
"I came out to get ideas, prices and just to see what's out there," Thal said.
Grand Blanc resident Lauren Goslee came to look at RVs, but said having both expos in the same building was a nice touch.
"They've got a lot of variation," Goslee said. "We're looking for down the road."
Traditionally, the RV show had been held in late February for four days, but the new setup allowed the Michigan Association of Recreation Vehicles and Campgrounds (MARVAC) to take advantage of the season.
"(It's a) little different feel because we're closer to spring," said Bill Sheffer, MARVAC director. "We feel good about coming to Genesee County."
Sheffer said MARVAC does five shows across Michigan, with others taking place in Novi, Battle Creek and Traverse City. Anywhere from 25 to 70 RVs could be sold thanks to the expo, including some not featured at the event.
Thanks to the expo's success, Lamb said the groups will talk about holding a similar event and said it was a "concept that works."

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The season may not start until November but women's basketball head coach Maurice Smith was at work Friday morning as they welcomed in two groups from the Early Learning Center to the Centennial Center.
The purpose for the visit was to teach the kids about teamwork and following directions while having fun in the process. Smith was on hand with help from three members of his team, in addition to a member of men's team. GC mascot Thunder even made an appearance to help with the lesson and games that followed.
The kids also had a chance to play "duck, duck, goose" with Thunder, chasing him whenever they were chosen as the goose. They also took part in a relay race that involved dribbling and teamwork.
"I really enjoy the smiles on their faces and how they look up to you when you're out on the court," said Kate Palo (Covington, Ga.) freshman guard. "Community support is an awesome thing to have, so if we have that bond we can have people come out and support the team, we'll be that much stronger."

Moonrise Kingdom (US - BD RA)
Gabe continues to be charmed by Wes Anderson's tweeful Peter Pan complex...
Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom follows two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing offshore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way. (From the official Focus Features synopsis)
There was a time after the releases of Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums when I called Wes Anderson my favourite working Hollywood director. I even vehemently defended The Life Aquatic when critics and audiences dumped on it and accused Anderson as not growing as a director. Then came The Darjeeling Limited and I, too, found myself sick of Anderson's refusal to grow as a writer or director. His obsessively detailed, pastel images and twee sensibilities had such a large influence on other filmmakers, specifically other navel-gazing independents, like Jared Hess ( Napoleon Dynamite) and Zach Braff ( Garden State), that The Darjeeling Limited, in all its over-used Wes Andersonism, felt more like a spoof of the writer/director's work, rather than an extension. Then Anderson moved his stylistic and thematic obsessions into a new arena – that of obsessively detailed stop-motion animation. The change of venue and structural challenges of making a family friendly film appeared to have gotten him back on track at least for the time being.
Which brings us to Moonrise Kingdom, a second family-friendly picture from the neurotic and nebbish little boy that refuses to grow up, this time depicted via live-action to make for a more personal and controlled motion picture experience. Some have called Moonrise Kingdom Anderson's most stylistically and thematically distilled movie. Like Darjeeling Limited, it could play as a spoof of Anderson's sensibilities, especially to a detracting critic, but, somehow, this distillation of the exact same stuff we've seen in six feature-length movies already feels fresh or at least not tired. The prevalent 'Andersonian' themes of habitual technical practices, childhood extracurricular activities, and the adorableness of mechanical things are all accounted for. Popular themes are recycled, including children old beyond their years running away from indifferent, pseudo-intellectual parents, said adults participating in extramarital affairs, and said children threatening each other with brutal violence. Oh, and dead parents. It's not a Wes Anderson film without dead parents. For good measure Anderson even tosses in a few throwaway jokes that recall other throwaway jokes from previous movies ('…he fell in a ditch'). Nothing has changed in terms of dialogue, either – The humour is still drier than day-old toast and the children still talk like 50-year-old men.
Perhaps the key detail that keeps Moonrise Kingdom from over-extending Anderson's over-practiced routines is the fact that no one is taking the material too seriously. Unlike Darjeeling Limited or Life Aquatic, where Anderson's cute malaise was treated as some kind of deep, important life lesson, Moonrise Kingdom is a simple story that makes no attempts to oversell its simplicity. This is also the first period set of Anderson's films (unless a year is specified in Fantastic Mr. Fox and I don't know it). All of his films are super-nostalgic, stylistically anachronistic, and might as well be taking place some time between the '60s and the '70s, but this is the first to verify the era placement. Perhaps this is a symptom of co-writer Roman Coppola's era obsessions. If so, I welcome further collaboration between the filmmakers, so long as they don't include Jason Schwartzman anymore, who I'm going to blame for the smelly melodrama of Darjeeling Limited (without any proof, of course). It's also interesting to note that this is the first of the director's Peter Pan-obsessed/inspired movies that makes direct thematic and visual references to J. M. Barrie's story.
Despite the lack of the familiar 2.35:1 framing (which, honestly, looks a little weird given memories of five other films), Anderson's favourite composition practices are still firmly in place. These include hyper-Baroque set and costume dressings, his use of Kubrick-inspired, fastidiously centered compositions, split screens, montages that compliment each other's left to right image balance, and playful, smooth tracking and dolly shots. Anderson plays with depth perception and camera movement to create a diorama look for the entire film. He's always enjoyed playing with the perception of a set's removable walls, but it seems that shooting an animated film with sets that are small enough to be considered actual dioramas may have inspired Anderson to recreate the precious scale in live action. For whatever reason, this animated quality gives the twee-overload more purpose.
I don't think that Wes Anderson will be jumping on the 3D bandwagon any time soon and suspect that The Fantastic Mr. Fox was only shot digitally because it was easier to control the animation that way, but I also wouldn't assume that a director so obsessed with bright colours and fine details would step back from 35mm into the grainy recesses of 16mm. Shows what I know. Moonrise Kingdom is presented on Blu-ray in 1080p and is framed in 1.85:1 (the first of Anderson's live action movie to be presented in anything other than a 2.35:1 since Bottle Rocket). Beyond the increase in film grain, which Anderson and cinematographer Robert Yeoman (who has shot every one of Anderson's films except for Fantastic Mr. Fox) handle with expected grace, 16mm has detail limits. Close-up detail usually matches larger format footage, but busy backgrounds rarely compare to those of a 35mm or digital HD transfer. Grain levels are heavy and consistent enough to keep even the close-up textures from appearing all that sharp, but the 1080p format always handles the finer qualities of grain with less blobby effects than standard definition. Blu-ray also helps reduce edge-enhancement effects and helps make the duller pattern qualities stand apart as soft rather than blurry. 16mm rarely matches the colour quality of larger format film, specifically in terms of vibrancy. Fortunately, Anderson and Yeoman aim for a more pastel palette, which serves the natural hue balance very well. The image is rarely bright and the filmmakers allow for hue bleeding as part of their natural look. This transfer skews warm. Golds and reds overtake most other hues without overwhelming them, allowing the baby blues and cool greens a bit of pop. Black levels are actually better than expected, though they're rarely consistent in terms of purity.
Presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, this mix follows the lead set by Anderson's other films in its natural and largely understated qualities. The bulk of the track is devoted to centered dialogue and soft slices of ambient noise in the stereo and surround channels. The immersive work mostly revolves around the movement of the camera, rather than the movement of objects around the camera. For example, the sound of a record player, motorbike engine, or sizzling stove come in from off-screen as the camera pans past them, not as they move out of frame. The other major directional effects pertain mostly to the latter storm sequences. This also applies to wide dynamic ranges created by cutting away from more aurally busy shots. Anderson has always adored the effect of blaring noise coming and going with a quick cutaway. The uncompressed nature of the track certainly helps in this regard. After successfully creating a distinctive musical sound with composer Mark Mothersbaugh throughout Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic, it seems that Anderson's new go-to guy for movie music is Alexandre Desplat. Trading Mothersbaugh for Desplat is kind of like trading in a Cadillac for another Cadillac, but Mothersbaugh's quirky expectations are not met with this score, marking it as one of Moonrise Kingdom's rare novelties. This score has the quirk and mirth of a Mothersbaugh score, but often builds instrumentation more upon a repeating rather than progressive melody. The mix plays with recreating the sound of analogue recordings and cheaper '60s speaker systems, but also has plenty of the high fidelity, full-blast musical breaks we've come to expect from Wes Anderson movies (slow-motion shot, naturally). The only major difference is there are no '70s rock interludes this time around. Stay tuned through the end credits, where Sam orally dissects one of Desplat's main themes.
The sadly brief extras begin with A Look Inside Moonrise Kingdom (3:10, HD), an elongated trailer featuring behind the scenes footage and interviews with Bill Murray, Jason Swartzman, Roman Coppola, Bob Balaban, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, and Bruce Willis. Under Welcome to the Island of New Penzance are four cast/crew profiles (Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton and Wes Anderson), hosted by Balaban (6:10, HD). The extras are completed with a tongue-in-cheek set tour with Murray (3:10, HD) and some other Focus Feature trailers.
Moonrise Kingdom is a fabulous and entertaining experience. It may well be, as the man says, Wes Anderson's most Wes Andersonesque movie. It's so fabulous and entertaining I'm willing to continue to forgive Anderson's allergy to change…for now. Perhaps it's his tendency to not take himself and his special brand of art too seriously that makes me weak. Perhaps I've arrived at a point where I've accepted Wes Anderson movies are always going to be an awfully specific brand name and I can enjoy him on the same expectation level as other filmmakers that can't get over their first film, like Dario Argento, who spent more than half his career remaking The Bird with the Crystal Plumage. Still, it does seem a shame that similarly fetishistic contemporaries like Paul Thomas Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, and Rian Johnson are leaving Anderson behind in terms of genre-skipping ambition. This Blu-ray release features a transfer that gets all the best of the limited 16mm format, and a strong, stylized DTS-HD MA soundtrack, but, like most of Anderson's home video releases, not a whole lot of extra material.

Count me as one of those who didn't like this film. The movie feels quirky just for the sake of it, and for me the film has a smug, pretentious feel to it (particularly the precocious kids and indifferent parents). Even Alexandre Desplat's score reflects it.
I liked Anderson's "Bottle Rocket" but I hated everything else he's done. He's just not my cup of tea.

I can imagine someone finding Wes Anderson a smug and pretentious human being, but this particular film is so light hearted and hopelessly romantic I don't think either term applies.

There's just something that rubs me the wrong way about his films. I think it was Jared Gilman's narrating the instrumentation of Alexandre Desplat's end credits suite that really made MK insufferable.

Just ask St. John's head coach Steve Lavin, who kept referring to distinctively different parts of the Red Storm's hard-fought, 68-63 loss to No. 2 Syracuse on Sunday.
There was the first half, which found Syracuse leading 39-27. There was the first 16 minutes of second half, where the Red Storm didn't just tie the game but took the lead three times. And finally, there was the final four minutes.
"I thought in the first half we were tentative. We were not aggressive or effective in any aspect of play," said Lavin. "In the second half we played well enough to rally from behind, but in the last four minutes, Syracuse got good looks at the basket and we did not execute well enough on offense to win."
Syracuse senior C.J. Fair hit two big shots from the same spot as part of his 21 points – about 15 feet from the basket on the right baseline – on ensuing possessions within the final three minutes to ruin a St. John's second-half comeback, which drew the longest and loudest cheers from the crowd of 16,357.
Fair had already tied the game at 58-58 with 6:51 to go, then made two more baseline jumpers in the final three minutes as the Orange (10-0) were able to open a lead as large as seven points.
The Red Storm (6-3) chipped away from the 12-point halftime deficit and was able to tie the contest at 53-53 on three free throws by rookie Rysheed Jordan with 9:16 to go. There were four lead changes and three ties as Syracuse became the second highlyranked team to narrowly escape the weekend.
Junior guard D'Angelo Harrison led St. John's (6-3) with 21 points on 6-of-19 shooting, and also contributed six rebounds. Jordan scored a career-high 13 points, bolstered by a 9-of-9 effort at the line, and grabbed a career-best six boards as well. Sophomore JaKarr Sampson added 12 with six boards despite being limited by foul trouble.
"It hurts to lose but it hurts to lose to Syracuse in particular," Harrison said. "Certain things that you can take away from the last four minutes of the game, that's what we will watch the most."
Sampson was hardest on himself.
"I've been thinking about those since I missed them," he said of two misses at the line with St. John's trailing 62-60 and 3:12 to play. "I feel like that was a big part of the game. I feel like it turned the momentum."
St. John's concluded a two-year series with San Francisco on Wednesday, Dec. 18, when the San Francisco Dons traveled to Queens. Lavin's legendary late father, Cap Lavin, was a standout at USF from 1949-52. Cap Lavin was honored by USF when the Red Storm traveled to San Francisco in December of 2012.
