The need to call in at work for the first time since Christmas to make sure that they remember who I am has delayed the appearance of this account of the final two days of a surprisingly good test match.
First, an apology to the pitch and its caregivers. In accounts of the first three days I wrote it off, making the mistake of assuming that it would behave as test pitches at the Basin have done over the decade or so that I have been watching there. It didn't give any help to the spinners as a test pitch should ideally do on the fourth and fifth days, but it did not curl up and die either. It was wrong to say that the pitch was heading into extinction, the opposite if anything; it had found the secret of eternal life, retaining its pace (or at least bounce) right through the game. A test pitch on which the game is resolved within the last scheduled hour is almost by definition a good one.
I cannot recall seeing more players hit on the head than I saw in these two days, including Santner twice, Wagner three times and, most chillingly, Mushfiqur, who was taken straight from the pitch to hospital by an ambulance that was driven onto the field to collect him, another spectating first for me. Courtney Walsh, here as Bangladesh's bowling coach, looked a little misty-eyed at the sight of all those batsmen going down like felled trees.
On day four Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls took their resumed fourth-wicket partnership to 142 before Nicholls turned a delivery from Shakib into the hands of Mehidi at leg slip. Usually a half-century would enhance a young player's reputation, but I'm not sure that this was so here. Nicholls can dispatch the bad ball, but finds it difficult to rotate the strike against accurate bowling, especially early in the innings. He survived a DRS review for lbw only on an umpire's call, and was dropped. Sometimes batsmen score runs against a lesser attack which means that the selectors are obliged to keep them in the team against stronger opposition that they may not be up to. I don't know if Nicholls falls into this category, but the question remains open.
Nobody else is suggesting this, but I would give Martin Guptill a run in the middle order as long as his form is reasonable. As an opener has played 47 tests with three centuries at an average a snip under 30. He has Ramprakash syndrome, the symptoms of which are to look unbearably good in other forms and at other levels of the game, but not to be able to turn the quality into test-match runs. Take Guptill away from the new ball and those runs might flow.
If the jury is still out on Nicholls, it is close to a verdict on de Grandhomme, to the sound of gallows being hammered together. Bang! On four after 13 balls, he scythed a four to third man. Crash! The next ball cleared the seats at deep square leg. Woe! A mow at a wide ball outside off and he was caught behind next ball. This is not the work of a No 6 test batsman.
Meanwhile, Tom Latham cruised on, if anything more relaxed than on day three. A casual lift over long on off Shakib for the first six of the innings showed how well he was seeing the ball, though he was dropped on 138, a hard diving chance at second slip.
Just when he looked set for a double hundred Latham swept Shakib, but missed and was plumb lbw, barely waiting for the umpire's decision. Since both Dempster and Mills scored centuries in the first Basin test in 1930 (both dismissed by Kent's Frank Woolley, who took seven for 76 at the age of 42), only John Wright among New Zealand openers had scored a century before Latham, which shows what trouble the position has been for us in these parts over the years.
BJ Watling had reached 49 in his usual unobtrusive way when occasional off spinner Mahmudullah was thrown the ball, which he immediately propelled some way down the legside. Watling, seeing an easy path to fifty, hurled the bat at the ball, which was collected by Imrul Kayes, standing in with the gloves for Mushfiqur Rahman. Imrul became very excited, which everybody thought was because he had made a decent legside take (for once). However, the DRS revealed that Watling had got a pretty solid touch and that Imrul had taken a catch that would have been remarkable even if he had been looking at the ball, which he wasn't.
Mahmudullah wasn't done. Three balls later Southee missed a straight one to be lbw. It is to be hoped that the young off spinner Mehedi (35 wicketless overs for 111 at this point) is the contemplative sort who can find it within to rue the fickleness of cricket and move on.
Mitch Santner made a career-best 73, but, as with Nicholls, it was not convincing. Against tired bowlers he struggled against the short ball, something that will have been noted by Kagiso Rabada among others.
An innings from Wagner that was a mixture of percussion and concussion, and that was that. New Zealand reached 539, a deficit of 56. The radio commentators took the view that Williamson should have declared at least 50 runs earlier as the best way of achieving a result. Of course, events vindicated Williamson's approach completely, but I thought at the time that Bryan Waddle & co were mistaken, as they seemed to believe that Bangladesh would want to push for a victory. But the fact that they went defensive quite early on in the New Zealand innings showed both that they were aware of their own limitations and that after two years without overseas tests, a draw would be as good as a win for them.
Bangladesh's sterling performance with the bat, and perseverance with the ball had made people forget how inexperienced they are; I haven't checked, but some of the team may not have played on the fifth day before, and any attack that bowls 148 overs in the first innings will be tired in the second. These factors, along with a couple of hefty side servings of misfortune, meant that New Zealand had the keys to the safe when the Bangladeshis began their second innings with 90 minutes to go on the fourth afternoon.
For the second time in the game, Southee's attempt to throw down the stumps in the follow through hit the batsman, despite the fact that he was located some distance from the target. Imrul Kayes responded perfectly by depositing Southee in the cheap seats later in the over.
After an hour all was fine, Imrul and Tamim were going well and thought drifted to which book to bring on the last day. Suddenly, Tamim pushed one to point and called Imrul for a single, a tough ask for someone who had just finished 148 overs of unexpected wicketkeeping. Imrul hurled himself at the crease, making the run, but hurt his leg in the process. He left the field on a stretcher, the first time I can recall seeing this (the second occurred the next day). Basin stalwarts recall Syd Lawrence exiting in this manner when he split his kneecap in 1992.
The incident disturbed Bangladesh's equilibrium: Tamim was bowled by Santner and Mahmudullah was caught behind off Wagner. Then in the last over of the day some comedy running combined with a direct hit by Santner to remove nightwatchman Mehedi.
With three (possibly effectively four) down and the lead 122 a New Zealand win was on the cards, not that you could have discerned this from the local cricketing public, who years of shredded hopes has left with a demeanour compared to which Eeyore is a cock-eyed optimist.
Shakib strode to the crease like a concert pianist who, having knocked out some Beethoven to critical acclaim one night feels able to deal to Tchaikovsky next evening without rehearsal or practice in the interim. He tried to get off the mark by belting Santner over mid on, only to be caught there by Williamson.
Mominul Haque was caught in the gully, but then Mushfiqur (still suffering from the hand injury that had prevented him keeping wicket) and Sabbir steadied things. In doing so they focused on time rather than runs. They batted together for 15 overs (both were dropped once), but scored only 18 runs. If the scoreboard doesn't move much that can cancel out the time side of the match-saving equation.
The ball that caused the entry of the ambulance was not that short; Mushfiqur ducked into it and it hit him on the back of the helmet. It was a worrying few moments with the Phil Hughes tragedy so fresh in our minds, but the medical reaction was precautionary as much as anything and Mishfiqur returned to the ground by the end of the day. It was, however, the breakthrough that New Zealand were starting to get a little restless for.
Taskin was dropped at short leg by Latham—New Zealand's catching has been poor—but bowled next ball by Boult. At lunch Bangladesh were 193 ahead with three to come, including the hobbling Imrul.
After lunch we had one of those periods that I find more irritating than anything else about modern cricket, and which makes me channel my inner Fred Trueman. For Sabbir—a No 7 batsman in the 40s playing his first overseas test—the field was set right back to give away a single so that the attack could bowl at Kamrul. I can't understand why, when you want just three wickets to effectively win the match, you give up trying to get one of the batsmen out.
Kamrul was out (without getting on strike with a gifted single), then Sabbir defeated the strategy with a plan of Baldrickian cunningness: with no slips he contrived to be caught at the wicket by flailing at a short one.
Imrul Kayes returned, and unbelievably the single-gifting strategy continued, even though Imrul was clearly incapable of running a single; the desired outcome of the plan would be achieved only if two fielders had picked Imrul up and carried him to the other end. Runners are not allowed. I miss runners for the anarchy they so often introduced to proceedings.
Some boundaries from Imrul and the innings was over, leaving a target of 217 from 51 overs.
Mehedi located fresh reserves of pessimism among the locals by removing both openers, the young spinner's first overseas wickets and well-deserved. This brought Taylor and Williamson together, which had the soothing effect of a deep massage on the spectators. Entry was free so Wellingtonians converged on the Basin from all over the CBD. The ground was fuller at the end of the game than at any other time.
Taylor was at his quick-handed best, swiftly onto anything fractionally short and unsettling all the faster bowlers, playing on their inexperience. His 60 came in just 75 balls. The third-wicket partnership was worth 163 and took just 25 overs.
Williamson batted like a God. Time after time, what seemed like a push into a gap for a single sped to the boundary, so perfect was the timing. Three fours in three balls off Taskin just before tea were sublime. His fifty came up in 43 balls, his hundred in 89, one of the fastest ever seen in the fourth innings of a test.
Had New Zealand won by an innings in three days (as we expected) this game would have swiftly disappeared from the memory. Because New Zealand were outplayed by Bangladesh in the first innings, a narrower victory was more of an achievement, Williamson's magnificence on the last afternoon finishing it off perfectly.
Bangladesh made us forget how inexperienced they are, or that this was their first away test in more than two years, which is a scandal. There has to be a plan for Bangladesh to have at least five home and five away tests a year. India, England and Australia all need to step up here. There is obvious talent and potential here and world cricket must not let it go to waste. What is the point of (I hate this term) growing the game when an existing test country is given so little support? All talk of Ireland (or anybody else) being given test status is hopeless unless a coherent programme of guaranteed fixtures for ten years can be worked out first.
It was a pleasure to be at the Basin for this test match. The pohutukawas were out, there were surprises, records, ambulances and some brilliant, spirited cricket played with modesty and good humour. A great start to the year.

Social media responds to Sinead O'Connor's N.J. video with outpouring of support
After posting a Facebook video on Thursday that went viral, singer Sinead O'Connor's devastating plea for help drew comments from NJ.com readers and all corners of social media. Many were supportive of the Grammy-winning Irish singer, who has struggled with mental illness over the years and said she was feeling suicidal. Shortly after posting her video, O'Connor, who says she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and wants to reunite with her children, shared the street address of a Travelodge motel in South Hackensack where she said she was staying. Comments flooded in on her Facebook page…Read More

Imagine a world without hashtags, pokes or likes. A world where Twitter and Facebook were smothered, and where social media and self-expression were practised only by a few subversive freedom-of-speech fighters.
To us liberated, liberal, Western coves, that world is China. Behind the Great Firewall of censors, we imagine, people are longing to break free and crying out to share their selfies and memes with the rest of the modern world.
Indeed, imagine my shock when an email popped into my inbox from one of the editors of the educational newspaper in Beijing where I used to work as a sub-editor and general propaganda-driver (English lang).
The Boss, I discovered, wanted me to co-write the newspaper's Winter Issue on the subject of…
"Digital Guide for Teenagers."
"iPads and Smartphones have become integral parts of young people's lives," the email read.
"You will write about Western side of digital and internet trends."
The horror! The horror! rang my mental alarm bells. How on earth was I supposed to write about digital and Internet in the West without mentioning Facebook and Twitter? What if my emails were caught halfway by the censors? What if the long arm of the CCP came knocking on the doors of my beloved offices in Chaoyang District, with MDF boards to hammer across the entrance and Black Marias to ship away my former colleagues?
And then I thought… perhaps the Chinese authorities are coming to get me, even here in the West… As those who have stuck with this blog of bilge for longer than advisable may remember, I have already fallen foul of the censors, cf. post dated 30 October, 2011:
WordPress.com falls to China's Internet Wall – Chicken's Feet seek new roost
The censor has gone quite literally chicken oriental. The Chicken's Feet King has been attacked. The dreaded firewall of doom that prevents you from getting onto Facebook, Twitter, and a certain Wikipedia page about a certain massacre on a certain square in 1989 has now taken offence at WordPress.com. Yes folks – we've been blocked.
And yet, the aforementioned Boss has the ability, even at a distance of over 5,000 miles, to strike the fear of bejeezus into me. Lack of response not being an option, I penned a feeble and poorly grammaticised response, detailing (under the very thorough "digital sub-headings" I had been sent – social media, news, information, shopping…) all the top apps and sites in the UK, more than two thirds of which I knew were completely out of bounds for a Chinese computer.
The news out West about the Chinese Internet is a story of smothering and subversion. We hear about brave and cunning "netizens", who develop their own internet language to beat the men with the black marker pens. First there was the word 和谐 or "héxié", "harmonise" – which they used to mean "to censor" as an ironic take on the government's "harmonious society" policy (which includes, of course, censoring the hell out of everything). Then this became 河蟹, "héxiè", "river crabs". Now suspiciously positive articles about how happy people are in China are "aquatically-produced" (被水产, "shuǐchǎn").
But it's important to realise how self-contained this critical "netizenship" really is. It's a niche bunch of politico-speak by a few geeks who actually understand or bother to make up the code. The rest of the country, meanwhile, is driving a different digital obsession. They're not netizens – they are… wait for it… wangizens. Because "wang" ( 网), being the Chinese word for Internet, is far more appropriate than the Middle English-derived net in this ultra-annoying loan word.
At the end of June 2013, there were 591 million internet users in China – the world's largest Internet population. Western commentators like to caveat this with the fact that, with more than a billion people living in China as a whole, there are still almost as many non-connected as connected Chinese people, and in some parts of rural China, Internet penetration is only at 28 per cent.
True that may be – but the majority of those 591 million users are not champing at the Twitter bit. In fact, Tencent QQ instant messaging service outstripped the Twitterati worldwide by around half a million in May 2013 in terms of linking route domains (though Facebook admittedly beat both). And Baidu.com – China's answer to Google – is the fifth most popular website in the world.
Most Chinese users simply aren't bothered about Twitter and Facebook, because they have their own Chinese versions that work just as well. The really important Westerners – Barack Obama, for example, or One Direction – have Sina Weibo feeds.
On our side of the Firewall, much of China's content is blocked in as well – for one of three reasons.
The first is, of course, government control. To sign up to Weibo, you need a Chinese ID number (or some kind of inroad that will help you set it up, either a special dispensation for being super famous, or a fake ID that you've downloaded from a website).
The second, also fairly obviously, is the fact that, in all honesty, most Westerners really don't speak Chinese, and unlike Latinate languages terms aren't going to turn up in foreign search engines simply because the characters are all wrong.
But the third – you may be surprised to note – is down to the West's version of "censorship". In China, one can rely on all sorts of natty download sites for your music – and it won't cost you a penny. Try nabbing something off Baidu Music in the West, and you may hit up against one or two great firewalls of your own.
Of course, of course I'm not saying preventing illegal downloads is the same as smothering political opinion. I'd be the first to slam Chinese internet censorship as an affront to free speech (and to myself and my blog, though lolz at the censors because, with some help from my sneaky Western contacts, I got some unblocked webspace and was subverting again in a matter of days).
But we might want to rethink that image of Chinese people "missing out" just because they can't get onto Twitter and Facey B. Those occasional world-slamming Twitter events – the Arab Spring, the London riots, umpteen Tesco protests – can only be accessed, at high personal risk, by the true, hardliner Netizens. Any Westerner who actually wants to "liberate" Chinese public opinion needs to break in the Barack/Harry Styles way and play China's game. In the meantime, when it comes to taking selfies, the Wangizens have got it all already.
Don't believe me? Ask The Boss. Her reply to my hysterical, get-me-out-of-this email put the Chinese side very bluntly.
"Although I have always known that differences exist in digital technologies between China and the West, when you listed the popular apps and websites in your email, I was still struck by how big these differences are.
"In most of the categories we mentioned, for example, social networking, music and video, Chinese have our own services.
"Because most of these, for example, QQ, WeChat, KuWo, Zaker, are in Chinese, they are rarely used by people outside the country. And for obvious reasons, many apps or services that are popular in the West are not the case in China.
"As this digital guide is supposed to provide very local, targeted content, which, for the above reason, would mostly come from local research, I am not sure whether our initial plan to ask a native speaker to produce such stories is the best option for both sides. You could waste a lot of valuable time communicating and clarifying, before getting down to writing.
Meanwhile, you could help us in other, more effective ways on other topics?"

Outdoor furniture can also be called as a patio furniture or garden furniture. It has been designed in such a manner that it can be used on the outdoors very easily. Its outdoor use has become so easy because the furniture is made of various weather resistant materials such as aluminum and these materials never rust. For example in the gardens of Pompeii, the oldest surviving furniture was found many years back. Garden furniture is very often sold as a set of patio that consists of approximately six chairs, a table and a parasol as well. A picnic table is very often used for this particular purpose of eating all the meals outdoors. Long chairs are referred to as the chaise longue. These are also common items. This seating outdoor furniture is very commonly used for conversing, relaxing and various recreational activities on the outdoors.
The first consideration you are going to want to make when it comes to your outdoor bench seat cushions is to decide on a colour. With a colour in mind, you have something to work with, you can start searching for reputable suppliers, identifying prices and more to find the right match based on your particular needs. Most people choose darker colours or patterned designs, something that won′t mark easily and can be enjoyed outdoors for years to come. Measure your bench seats to get the right sizes for the cushions you will need. You may want one long cushion to cover the entire bench or a number of cushions that can run along the length. A single long cushion is usually easier to manage and reduces the risk of the cushions constantly falling off when someone gets up or sits down.

I will no longer be uploading anything to this website, nor will be I be storing any fiction here.
To those who have supported the stories in the past, thank you
for the kind and thoughtful reviews.
I've been plagiarized five times on this site (that I actually know of),
where I'm a member. The offenders are:
(Posted my fiction, "Rebound", verbatim)
Missy 08
(Also posted my fiction, "Rebound", verbatim)
(Posted my fiction "He Saw Red", verbatim)
(Stole portions of my story, "In His Eyes" and embedded them into her story, "Until Forever Ends".)
(Posted my story "Crush The Night" on 5/25/11, verbatim).
It's nice to know thieves still thrive on this site.
I get it. You like the work. You like it so much that you wish you wrote it, but you didn't. From childhood we're taught not to steal, so what gives anyone the right to take someone else's work and claim it? Are you that desperate for "internet praise" that you're willing to perpetrate the fraud of being an actual author, even when you know that you'll never be able to recreate what you've stolen?
That's just idiotic.
And any dipshit who thinks it's not a big deal to steal simply because they didn't like the material in question, well, they're a dipshit for a reason, aren't they?
Every grammatical error -just like every patch of brilliance- belongs to the person who wrote it and nothing gives anyone the right to lay siege to it. They say plagiarism is a form of flattery, well, you'll flatter us a lot more by writing something on your own and simply mentioning that you were inspired by your favorite authors.
I constantly hear that all the "good authors" are leaving/have left the fandom. Well, maybe they'd stick around a little longer if readers stopped disrespecting them and their efforts by plagiarizing them.
Just a suggestion.

And I got pregnant.
Then, one month before baby's due date, husband loses his job. Two weeks after baby was born, I was retrenched.
Now back then, maternity leave, paid or otherwise, didn't exist in my private sector job. Thankfully I had a boss with a progressive wife who insisted he let me use up all my sick leave and annual leave. But that was it. No job guarantee on a return to work. No option of part-time on said return. No support structure, understanding nods or free money in the bank.
Because there was no baby bonus.
My retrenchment payout was about seven weeks pay. I was earning $30,000 a year so you do the math. The husband's payout was zilch. So we did what we had to do.
He reinvigorated his truck driving licence, conveniently attained during a short stint in the military, and got behind a large wheel of a large truck.
I waited for the caesarean scars to somewhat heal and got a temp receptionist job for – guess who – Kevin Rudd. Go figure… Kevin was an arsehole, the scars weren't properly healed, my six week old baby was with a day care mum and I wanted to keep my house. And eat.
Had we had the baby bonus, would things have been different? I don't know. I can't know. The way I figured it, I had fallen pregnant. The government hadn't captured me, Matrix style, and forced a foetus into my womb under threat of torture or Barry Manilow on repeat. It was my responsibility so I had to manage it. Not the government. Not the tax payers of Australia. Just me. And a little help from my mum.
Sometimes I daydream about what $5000 would have got me. A fancier pram? A groovier change table? Groceries? Petrol?
But with the baby bonus changes currently underway, is it going to affect Australia's reproduction? Or will families just go back to what they always did, and just make do or make the best?
Because clearly we can't be affording to have sex anymore!!

That is so true Bron. This generation has so much given to them and they expect more. I know of a young lady with incredibly rich parents (you know them as well) and she received a huge baby bonus which she spent on herself. Her mother tells me she fell pregnant as the boyfriend had lost interest in her and 'trapped him' by taking herself off the pill. It didn't work and he moved on, but the incentive was the baby bonus. Would she have fallen pregnant had the baby bonus not been available, I don't know, but gut feel says no. She was also on a large single mum pension as the babys father was still at university and unable to contribute. This is not isolated, she tells me of two of her school friends who did exactly the same. I have in fact met them at the childs birthday party. The mums and bubs were all still living at home with their parents. The girl in question was living in a multi million dollar house with the taxpayers paying her single pension. Parents provided roof over head free, food free, toys like you wouldn't believe free. Why did she need the money. I say means test any funds given to single parents and explore what support they have from their family.ReplyDelete

On another note, I'm still recovering from NYFW (hence, no post yesterday!). I think I slept around 12 hours the first night I got back… it doesn't help that I'm reading a really good book right now and want to read it every chance I can get! Stay tuned to the blog this week for more of my looks from fashion week.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday, thanks for reading!

Historical Society
Location: 10 Zurbrugg Way Riverside, NJ 08075
Hours: Open the last Tuesday and Saturday of each month, 10am-2pm and by appointment!
Riverside, New Jersey has a rich and interesting history. Samuel Bechtold founded Riverside, first called "Progress," in 1851 as a resort town. People came here to enjoy our forests, meadows, streams and ponds. In the summertime, Philadelphia became quite oppressive and so it was a breath of fresh air to vacation in Riverside's country atmosphere.
Riverside once housed the world's largest watch case manufacturer, doing business around the globe from the Philadelphia Watch Case Company Building. It was in an era when everyone carried a pocket watch. The building's clock tower has since become a Riverside landmark and the watchcase factory as well as hosiery mills in town helped war efforts during WWI.
Riverside also is known for The BOOST! Company. In 1913, pharmacist Benjamin Faunce invented "Tak-A-Boost," and served it to customers at his Bridgeboro Street pharmacy to help the medicine go down easier. BOOST!, a syrup/concentrate combining a blend of citrus flavors, remains a popular thirst quencher today

In 2004, Paducah Power System connected all of its substations with fiber optic cable, creating a 61 mile fiber backbone for its service territory. Besides upgrading our system, we sought to provide the community with a communications infrastructure that benefits residents, businesses, schools and health care entities with their internet connectivity, telephone service, video surveillance and alarm system notification needs. We now have more than 400 businesses in Paducah taking advantage of PPS FiberNet.
PPS FiberNet does not provide direct services, we simply offer bandwidth for providers. Local hospitals and schools are currently using PPS FiberNet for point-to-point connections that save them thousands of dollars each month and allow them easier download capability. PPS FiberNet will not deal directly with any end user, unless that user is large enough to have an IT Manager/Department.

* This version fixes a bug with the fonts not being correctly aligned. Hively Tracker is a tracker program based upon the AHX format created in the mid '90s by Dexter and Pink of Abyss. The format was relatively popular, and many songs were created and used in scene productions and games. AHX was designed to create a very SID-like sound on the Amiga. HivelyTracker can import and export modules and instruments in the AHX format, but it also improves on AHX in several ways and therefore has its own instrument and module formats. HivelyTracker offers the following features over AHX: Multichannel (4 to 16 channels) Per-channel stereo panning Two commands per note instead of one Ring modulation A more feature rich editor HivelyTracker was coded by Xeron/IRIS GUI design and skins by Spot/Up Rough

FOUR-STRAIGHT: Red Storm Rallies To Hold Off The Hall, 71-67, At The Garden
Jan. 27, 2013
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery | STJ-TV VIDEO: Postgame News Conference and Highlights
NEW YORK - Don't look now, but the youngest team in America is starting to develop a sense of maturity.
As recently as a few weeks ago, the well-documented youth of the St. John's Red Storm appeared at times to outweigh the squad's tremendous talent. Blown leads, an inability to close out games and frustrating losses were not uncommon for a squad that plays four freshmen, five sophomores and one JUCO transfer.
Over the last two weeks, however, bolstered by stifling mixed defenses, a renewed commitment to the boards and perhaps a little more experience under its collective belt, the young Red Storm has now authored a four-game winning streak, boosting St. John's into a tie for third place in the BIG EAST.
D'Angelo Harrison scored 24 points and freshman JaKarr Sampson added 19 as St. John's won its fourth-straight game for the first time in three seasons, 71-67 over Seton Hall on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
Harrison, who is second in the BIG EAST in scoring with a 19.6 average, scored 10 of the Red Storm's final 12 points, a burst that began with nine minutes left and helped keep the Pirates, who closed within one point with 4:21 to play, at bay.
"The last four games had similar themes, stretches where we play brilliantly and then stretches where teams make runs on us. The opponent is always well-coached and the talent level of the BIG EAST is the best in America. There are many things we can improve upon after we watch the tape; both offensively and defensively," said St. John's head coach Steve Lavin. What I was most proud of was how we found a way, after Seton Hall went on a run, to go on a run of our own. We are trending in the right direction, and with that being said, these kids are very humble and realize we have a lot of work ahead of us."
Phil Greene IV had 10 points for St. John's (13-7, 5-3 BIG EAST) while freshman Chris Obekpa, who leads the nation with 4.6 blocked shots per game, swatted four shots. The big Nigerian finished with four points, the last two on a tip-in with 41 seconds left that gave the Red Storm a 67-62 lead.
Seton Hall's Eugene Teague scored a career-high 22 points for Seton Hall (13-7, 2-5 BIG EAST), which is starting to return to full-strength after a rash of injuries. Fuquan Edwin, the fifth-leading scorer in the conference at 17.2 points per game, was hounded by the Red Storm into a 4-for-15 game from the field including making one of six 3-point attempts.
Seton Hall had won three-straight over the Red Storm and four of the last five. This was Seton Hall's first game against St. John's in Madison Square Garden since 2006.
St. John's closed the first half on a 17-4 run and the Red Storm scored the first six points of the second half for a 44-33 lead. The Red Storm's biggest lead was 16 points, the last time at 53-37 on a jumper by Greene with 14:46 to play. Seton Hall used an 11-2 run to get within 60-59, but Harrison took over, hitting two jumpers and two free throws in the final 2:24.
The Pirates made eight of their first 10 shots from the field and were ahead 29-21 with nine minutes to play in the first half. The Red Storm capped their period-closing 17-4 run with a long 3 by Harrison at the buzzer.
DePaul visits Carnesecca Arena to wrap up the home-and-home series on Wednesday, Jan. 30, in a 9 p.m. nationally-televised contest on ESPNU. STJ won the first meeting in Rosemont, 71-62, on Jan. 19.

Everybody is still scratching their heads over Clint Eastwood's rambling, incoherent, eleven-minute warm-up for Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention last night. Most agree it was a debacle, if only because it soaked up so much precious prime-time air (out of the one hour the networks were willing to give up) and allowed Clint Eastwood to bump Mitt Romney's newly revealed humanity from the headlines the next day. Ann Romney was at least honest enough to suggest she'd have preferred the slickly produced family-scrapbook video in that time slot over the aging action star talking, Harvey-style, to an invisible Obama.
But the debacle was actually perfect for this most fake of conventions, whose main purpose—the eventual redistribution of wealth to the very top—had to be obscured by a fleet of outright lies (so much so that even the traditional media feel forced to point them out). Clint Eastwood is an artist, and the rich moral ambiguities of his movies don't boil down to simple political agitprop. And that was the biggest truth of the night: the GOP is now running on the fumes of its own nostalgia, and its ideological revision of history can leave even the most ardent partisan deeply confused about what to believe.
Ambiguity is something this party says it abhors, almost as much as it abhors President Obama, but this convention and Clint Eastwood in particular just oozed it. Take the screen grab the RNC used as backdrop for Clint's performance, from The Outlaw Josie Wales, a movie about a Confederate soldier who refuses to surrender at the end of the Civil War. On one level, it's a Western, with the flinty theme of the loner who comes to town and resolves conflict by killing everybody on one side or the other. The Republicans clearly wanted that guy to show up last night, and they'd dearly love to just shoot the rest of the New Deal and all the modern realities that go with it.
But Josie Wales winds up protecting a ragtag, multiracial band of bullied misfits. It's not The Legend of Billy Jack exactly, but it's not throwing peanuts at an African-American camerawoman for CNN, either.

Crypto coin tickerSubmitted by dimaj on Sat, 12/13/2014 - 23:37
I recently decided to get into the world of BitCoins, so I bought some coins. Aside from BitCoins, I also have LiteCoins and FeatherCoins. I wanted to track the prices of all these currencies on a single widget on my screen. While searching on the market, I saw an app that allows me to add various widgets on my screen to track all these currencies, but at a cost of a widget per currency type. I do not want to give up that much real estate on my phone for the data that could be displayed in 1 small widget.

From a former Carmax buyer I can tell you that it would absolutely work. We don't do any mechanical examination prior to buying the car. We check for previous body work, obvious signs (visual and driving) of mechanical problems, we make sure everything works (windows, ac, radio/nav, etc.) we take a very short drive, and then we look at what we can buy the car for at auction and what we can sell the car for after typical refurbishing. With those factors in mind we make an offer that is good for 5 days or 500 miles. If the CEL is off when you bring it in we'd never know the difference. If you reset the CEL and it came on after we made the offer, but before you actually traded it in we still wouldn't know since a different department handles the purchasing of the car.
I don't work there anymore so I'm not obligated to the company. Just a thought for those interested in selling your car there.
We would eventually catch it on the back end and then either fix it at cost, or if it would cost to much then we would then send the car to auction for other dealers to buy.
As for the the Carmax employee who wouldn't buy a car there, well let's just say they are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. As an employee you get to cherry pick the best cars and pay slightly over cost for them. I bought multiple cars there and then sold them back for an almost identical cost even after a couple years of driving them. If you were going to buy a used car there is no better way to do it. If you work there and buy somewhere else, well let's just say that'd be like working for BMW then buying your BMW from a dealership at retail.

Your own O2 store: Apply for one of its first ever UK franchises
O2 has opened its first franchised retail store in the UK, in line with its development programme. Nicola Green reports
Launched in August 2005, O2's development programme will help increase its presence across the high street establishing the brand as the best place to shop for mobile phones in the UK.
Daniel Fountain, an O2 employee for five years, has opened his store in Rotherham shopping centre, which will soon benefit from a £20 million regeneration scheme. Supported by the O2 franchise team, Daniel sourced the property and managed the shop re-fit himself. He states:
'It's great that I can open the first O2 franchise in my home region and with the regeneration plans, Rotherham is a prime site.
'There is currently a high level of competition among mobile operators on the high street so bringing the strong O2 brand, fantastic customer service and great deals will be a great thing for the people of Rotherham. My focus will be on providing first rate customer service with a local feel so that my store stands out on the high street. I'll be drawing upon the strengths of O2's brand, systems, services and products, and my knowledge of and passion for the region, to create an unrivalled shopping experience.'
The franchise initiative is part of a broader programme to significantly expand O2's pan-UK store portfolio from its current 3,010 stores. The company is already operating a successful franchise programme in Germany, where it today operates over 300 franchise and partner outlets.
O2 UK Sales Director Mark Stansfeld comments: 'By increasing our store footprint we want to offer all customers across the UK the opportunity to experience our unparalleled customer service regardless of location. Customer loyalty is more fragile then ever and the winners in the UK market will be those who keep and inspire their customers better than anyone else. Rotherham is an area that our current store network does not reach, so we're delighted to be giving a former employee, who understands the O2 brand, the opportunity to take it into an area that he knows very well.'
All proposed franchise stores will complement existing O2 retail stores and will not affect any current stores, or any that are planned under the existing expansion programme.

We make solar power easy with our tailored service and different options to suit your budget. Take a look at our range of solar power systems, our tips on buying one, and more.
Solar power systems
Our range of solar power systems have been designed to suit different energy needs and budgets. All our systems include solar panels, inverter and full installation.
Solar power made easy
We want to make it easy and affordable for you to power your home with a quality solar system. Learn more about how solar power works and how it can benefit your home long-term.
Finance options
You could pay $0 upfront for solar power on a 5 year interest free payment plan*.

Our experts can answer all your questions.
Leave your details and we'll call you back at a time that's convenient for you.
How does solar power work?
Your roof-mounted solar panels contain photovoltaic cells, also known as solar cells. When sunlight falls on the cells they convert the sun's energy into DC (direct current) power.
What rebates are available?
Small Scale Technology Certificates (STC) are still available for most households. These certificates help reduce the cost of solar to you. Most solar providers, including EnergyAustralia, advertise solar pricing with the STCs already removed from the price. This is because you can sign over the STC rebates to the solar provider and therefore reduce the cost of the system.
What are feed-in tariffs?
This is the rate at which you are paid for exporting excess electricity generation back to the grid and is retailer dependant.
What happens to the power I don't use?
It will exported to the electricity grid where, depending on your retailer and tariff, you may be given a credit towards your electricity bill.
Will I require a new meter?
That depends on what meter you currently have. A bi-directional smart meter is needed to support solar. These are very common in Victoria but less common in other states and therefore a new meter will need to be installed as part of your solar installation. In most cases, EnergyAustralia can organise this for you.

In late 2005, a new law went into effect referred to as the "Move Over" law (ARS §28-775 E-1-2). The law was drafted as a result of the increase in the number of injuries and fatalities to those working to protect the public - police officers and emergency personnel.
The "Move Over" law gets its name from the idea of having drivers safely merge to an adjacent lane on highways with two or more lanes proceeding in the same direction when police or emergency personnel are stopped near or on the road. The law recognizes that sometimes it is not possible or the second lane just does not exist to move over. Those situations call for reduced speeds and proceeding with extreme caution.
Having the safety margin protects police officers and emergency personnel and reduces your risk of causing a deadly collision. Please take the time to read this page and learn to drive safer and ensure compliance with the "Move Over" law.
Arizona Revised Statute §28-775 E-1-2
If a person driving a vehicle approaches a stationary, authorized emergency vehicle that is giving a signal and displaying alternately flashing red, red and blue lights, the person shall do one of the following:
