Portland State 58 - 81 Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State handles Portland StateNov 26, 2012 - 4:15 AM Stillwater, OK (Sports Network) - Markel Brown scored 23 points and Le'Bryan Nash added 20 as 20th-ranked Oklahoma State put on an impressive overall display in an 81-58 rout of Portland State at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Cowboys, ranked in the top 25 for the first time since 2007 following their recent championship at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, shot 57.1 percent from the field en route to their first 5-0 start since the 2009-10 season. Brown hit on 10-of-14 attempts, while Phil Forte went 5-of-7 in a 15-point effort.
Oklahoma State also shined on the defensive end, limiting the Vikings to just 39.6 percent shooting for the game.
"They are as good as advertised, as we saw on television," said Portland State head coach Tyler Geving. "At the Puerto Rico Challenge, they played some good teams and we saw what they did to N.C. State (a 76-56 win). We knew coming in here it wasn't going to be easy."
Renado Parker and Michael Harthun each finished with 12 points for Portland State (1-3), which dropped its third straight following a season-opening win.
The one-week layoff following the Puerto Rico tournament had little effect on the Cowboys, who sped out to a 14-3 lead just over six minutes into the contest and went ahead by a 22-7 count when Nash followed a 4-point play by Forte by knocking down a jumper with 9:07 remaining in the first half.
"I was glad that we got out to a good start," said Cowboys head coach Travis Ford. "That was important for us; keeping the momentum going from last weekend. We passed the ball extremely well coming out of the gate. We defended extremely well in the first half."
A 7-0 run capped by Brown's 3-pointer later on extended Oklahoma State's advantage to 31-12 with 6:30 left before the break, and the Cowboys were up by as many as 20 points before two made free throws from Harthun brought Portland State within 40-22 at intermission.
The second half was more of the same, with Brown netting seven points during a 13-2 spurt to begin the period as the Cowboys built a commanding 53-24 lead with 15 minutes to go.
Oklahoma State cruised the rest of the way, with Portland State never cutting the margin under 20 points.
Game Notes
Oklahoma State was last ranked in the Associated Press poll the week of Feb. 12, 2007, when the Cowboys were listed No. 18 in the top 25 ... The Cowboys have now held their opponents to a 34.5 percent field goal percentage over their first five outings ... Oklahoma State improved to 5-0 all-time against Big Sky foes, with Sunday's matchup marking the first-ever meeting between these programs.

(TUCSON, Ariz.) — Heather Triano is expected to resume her testimony Friday in the 1996 slaying of her father after a friend of her accused stepmother, Pamela Phillips, testified Thursday that she recalled Phillips' comments about hiring a "hit man."
"She [Phillip] said she would just hire a hit man and have them take him out," Laura Chapman said of a conversation she and another friend had with Phillips in the years before the deadly explosion in which Gary Triano died.
Phillips, 56, is on trial in the Arizona car-bomb death of her former husband, a commercial real estate developer.
She has pleaded not guilty to the charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Chapman and her husband, Paul, later saw the smoke billowing from a Tucson, Ariz., country club after the explosion.
"I remember saying to him, 'Oh, my gosh, she really did it," Chapman testified.
Chapman said she and her friend considered going to the police that night but decided against it, fearing for their safety. It wasn't until 2011 — 15 years after Triano's death — that a chance meeting at a restaurant prompted Chapman to discuss the conversation with Heather Triano.
During Thursday's testimony in a Tucson courtroom, Heather Triano recalled the day her father died.
"It was his surprise birthday party that night…so I was trying to figure out what to get him as a present," she said.
Prosecutors expect to wrap up their case next week, trying to prove that a $2 million life insurance policy motivated Phillips to have her husband killed.
But then it's the socialite's turn, with her defense team planning to call more than 100 witnesses.

Today we have the latest installment of Charlene Dodds's rephotography project, in which she's visiting places shown on old postcards sent to and from members of her family. (In case you missed it, previous installments in this series are available here, here, here, and here.)
Here's the latest from Charlene:
The next stop on my tour of Pennsylvania was Waynesboro, a town General Robert E. Lee passed through after the Battle of Gettysburg. A schoolmate of my great aunt's had sent her a postcard from Waynesboro over the summer break in 1917. The postcard showed three grand houses along Clayton Avenue. I had no trouble finding the proper street, but I had to drive back and forth several times before I realized that the tiny trees shown in the postcard had grown so much in 95 years that they now largely obscure the houses, one of which you can just barely see peeking through in the photo I took [for all of these images, you can click to enlarge]:
You can get a better view of that house in this shot, although it doesn't duplicate the original postcard perspective.
My next stop was the Bedford rest station on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. This spot was a big hit for my paternal grandfather, who sent many postcards back home to his kids from this place, including a view of a Howard Johnson restaurant known as "the Midway." I discovered that the building shown is on the south side of the roadway. Roadway traffic necessitated a high concrete wall dividing the directional traffic lanes, so a second, near-identical restaurant was built on the north side of the road. That one is still there -- but much like the houses in Waynesboro, it's now largely obscured by trees:
My other grandfather, on my mother's side, also had a connection to the Turnpike. He had been the surveyor for this road many years earlier. My mother -- his daughter -- has regaled me with stories of when she was very small and he would take her along in the dead of night to "shoot the stars" with a sextant, which is how the workers plotted where to lay the roadbeds before GPS. It's fascinating to me that both sides of my family had a link to the Turnpike years before my parents would eventually meet.
That's it from Charlene for this time around. More soon.

Big Boi Teams Up with Kelly Rowland on 'Mama Told Me'
Rapper Big Boi recently unveiled his new single 'Mama Told Me' from his upcoming album 'Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors.' Produced by the Flush Music, the sunshine-y funk-synth track hints at the OutKast rapper's '80s musical inspiration of Prince.
On the song, Big Boi illustrates why he is such a smooth lyricist with catchy wordplay over a catchy '80s beat and Vocoder doo-wops. "Living legend / Rap scholar, art major / Because I make major art / Like Beethoven, Van Gogh, Mozart so don't start," he raps.
K. Row also sounds sweet on the tune, sharing words of wisdom from the one who knows her best. "Try not to break too many hearts / That's what mama told me / I always knew I would be a star / That's what mama told me," she sings on the hook.
Big Boi is prepping for the release of his second LP 'Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors,' which is due to hit stores on Nov. 13. The collection features guest appearances from Kid Cudi, Sleepy Brown, T.I., A$AP Rocky and Boi's all-time favorite singer, Kate Bush.
"We just really had fun with it and making sure that the production is top notch and the lyrical content is there," he says of the album. "I'm touching on everything I want to touch on. My albums are like time capsules, from the time you heard my last album to this record, it's almost like a diary."

text: JSG 21 Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) So this is what worked for me in a few months for controlling my oily skin, I'll keep it simple: 30 mg L-Optizinc, 500 mg of vitamin B5 and 25000 IU of vitamin A. It took about 3 months to work full force, don't expect an overnight change or even changes in weeks. Also, try to do regular blood-checks for the vitamin A. I know it's dangerous, but I think it's worth it when you have an horribly oily skin like me. Everyday life is way better now that I have an oil production like other normal people. No more shiny greasy looking face, no more blotting like a weirdo in front of everybody. Good luck to everyone. Update: after 9 months on that regimen, I decided to drop one pill of each once a day. Also, if it doesn't work full-force for you, you can still add Milk of Magnesia to your regimen. I tried it and it can really make your skin look mate for an entire day.

Questions regarding the Sonix Pro
I know this gun is a cheap marker, but I really liked it's design and it was only $40.00 on Craigs List.
I have been looking to do the basic upgrades. Mainly a new feed neck and a expansion chamber. The problem I am having is that I have NO idea which feed neck will work. I keep seeing ones "with tabs" "without tabs" "version A" "version B". It's insane.
Will this work? http://www.rap4.com/store/paintball/...neck-version-a
Or "version B" http://www.rap4.com/store/paintball/...neck-version-b
I have always had a an expansion chamber on my guns, but read they are not ideal. Is this true, and if so please provide me with a better alternative with a link and explanation.
I also want to go with a bolt that will quiet the gun. I keep seeing the whisper bolt, but $45.00 for a bolt seems high.
Also, where can I find a thumb adjuster for this gun? It has the pull pin that needs to be removed to pull out the existing adjuster.
I have done countless hours trying to educate myself online by searches, I am done.
Thanks for any help!
Re: Questions regarding the Sonix Pro
I'm pretty sure the newer-ish sonix uses tabs, but a picture would help confirm. Is it this one?:
Expansion chambers are only useful if you are going to use c02, otherwise its just more o-rings you have to replace. If you are using c02, unless you're playing in colder weather its still debatable if they help for a mechanical gun, although I guess they are slightly cheaper than some options.
IMO no bolt is really going to do that much to quiet the gun, for the money you'd be better off looking for a barrel with lots of porting or a regulator instead of the expansion chamber to reduce the pressure.
Re: Questions regarding the Sonix Pro
Thank you. I have a J&J, a Dye, and a CP barrel, just thought MAYBE a different bolt will make it a tad more quiet.
Yes that is the gun.
I called the company that makes the feed neck and they told me version A is the one I'd want.
Next question. Do the Spyders use a common size thread for their hoses? Common meaning universal for most all makes of paintball guns. If I needed a longer hose from the bottom of the grip to the gun where would I look? In the link you provided it is part number HSE003.
Thanks again!
Spyders use Metric threads, almost all others use NPT. You can get all the parts you need from SundragonPPS.com, including metric to NPT adapters and longer metric hoses.

Borland axes fifth of workforce
300 to go
Borland is cutting 20 per cent of its workforce, with the axe falling heaviest in sales and marketing, under a restructuring designed to focus on profitable markets.
The company is releasing 300 workers, mainly in "go to market" activities, with plans to shutter offices in at least some of the 29 countries it currently operates in. Details are yet to be finalized, but closures will be based on the size and revenue potential for Borland's Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) business. ALM will be Borland's main focus once its 20-year-old integrated development environment (IDE) business has been spun out.
Mike Hulme, senior director of product marketing, told The Register that Borland is deciding how it should go to market in less lucrative geographies, a process that could result in new or expanded reseller agreements. He stressed Borland is "putting resources" into top tier IT markets, which include the UK, France, Germany and the Benelux countries. The European market is where Borland's Delphi business is currently strong.
"As we shift to ALM we have more of a direct model. That's very expensive to support and it doesn't make sense to have a dedicated model in every market," Hulme said.
The cuts come as Borland restated its loss for fiscal 2005, adding an extra $1m to total $29.8m. Borland said Wednesday it expects to save $60m from the cuts, spinning out the IDE business and restructuring.
The restructuring will see Borland combine sales and professional services under field operations, customer support is being united with research and development, and a new business operations function will "focus on aligning internal processes and systems toward serving customers". This department will be headed by senior vice president Chris Barbin, who will report to chief executive Tod Nielsen. ®

A transformer is an energy coupling device that takes electrical energy at one voltage (from its source) and transforms it to another voltage. The new voltage may be higher (stepped up) or lower (stepped down), or it may remain the same as the input voltage. A good analogy is a mechanical gear train, where the shaft of the input gear rotates at a different speed than that of the output gear.
There are three major parts to a transformer: its coils, its core, and its enclosure or structural parts.
Coils. The coils are really turns of insulated copper or aluminum wire (magnet wire) that are wound around a core. There is at least one coil of wire or winding at a transformer's input (primary) and another for its output (secondary). These windings are well insulated from each other and the core to prevent shorts and grounds.
The ratio of turns in a transformer's primary winding to those in its secondary winding is known as its turns ratio. Shown in Fig. 1 is a simple transformer circuit, where the primary has six turns, and the secondary has three turns. Thus, its turns ratio is 6 divided 3, or 2:1.
[Figure 1. ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
A transformer's voltage ratio is the same as its turns ratio and is expressed by the following proportion.
[V.sub.P]/[V.sub.S] = [N.sub.P]/[N.sub.S] where [V.sub.P] = primary volts [V.sub.S] = secondary volts [N.sub.P] = number of turns at primary [N.sub.S] = number of turns at secondary
Thus, the voltage of the primary winding of the Fig. 1 transformer is twice that of its secondary winding.
Core. A core is made up of many thin laminations of high-grade electrical sheet steel. These laminations, which are insulated, are stacked one atop another until the desired stack height is reached. It usually takes 30 to 40 laminations to make a 1-in. high stack.
There are two kinds of losses associated with the core: hysteresis losses and eddy current losses. Hysteresis losses are directly proportional to the volume of the lamination while eddy current losses are directly proportional to the thickness of the lamination. Thus, the importance of using thin laminations of high-grade electrical steel.
For more detailed information, see "Choosing The Right Transformer, Parts 1 through 4" (February, May, and November 1992 issues; January 1993 issue).
Many times, line voltages are either higher or lower than the rated voltage of a transformer's primary. In instances such as these, the secondary voltage will be higher or lower respectively. For example, a 480V-120V single winding transformer with an input line voltage of 456V will have a secondary output voltage of 114V. This is because the transformer's voltage ratio is 4:1 (480V primary divided by 120V secondary). Thus, its secondary voltage is 456V divided by 4, or 114V. Conversely, this same transformer with an input voltage of 504V will have a secondary voltage of 126V (504V divided by 4).
Using a tap changes the voltage ratio of a transformer so that its secondary voltage stays at nominal. On large power transformers, taps on the primary are used to offset any higher or lower input voltages. These tap connections are usually set at the factory for nominal line voltage. If the voltage at the site is different, the taps are changed accordingly.
That said, what is a tap? Actually, it's a direct connection to a turn on a transformer winding at a voltage other than the normal rated voltage. Its lead is brought out to a terminal on the surface of the coil or on a terminal board of the transformer. Fig. 2 shows a transformer winding with a typical tap placement. The numbers refer to the marking of the tap. In this diagram, "1" is the highest voltage tap, "7" is the lowest voltage tap, and "3" is the normal, or nominal, voltage tap.
[Figure 2. ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
A whole number of turns is required between taps; otherwise, the tap lead will be on the wrong side of the transformer. For example, a winding can't be tapped at 2 3/4 or 7 1/4 turns; it must be tapped at 3 or 7 turns. Let's look at some examples.
A 480V transformer having 960 turns has 2 turns per volt. A 2 1/2% low tap on this transformer will decrease the voltage by 12V (0.025 times 480V); thus, the input voltage is 468V. Since there are 2 turns per volt, the tap would be 24 turns from the 480V normal tap.
In large transformers with few turns, taps can't be placed at exactly the right voltage. For example, a very large transformer has 5V per turn; as such, a 2 1/2% tap on the 480V primary winding (reduction of 12V) calls for 2.4 turns (12V divided 5V per turn). Because we can't tap at less than a whole turn, the tap is placed at 2 turns for 10V, and the tap becomes a 2.09% tap rather than a 2 1/2% tap.
The number of turns (and thus the turns per volt) can be varied; however, the exact voltage required may still be unattainable. For this reason, tap voltages are marked on transformer nameplates.

From OLPC
This prototype build of the XO-1 laptop ran from June 20-25, 2007, and was the final chance to fix hardware and mechanical problems that were detected in the Beta Test 3 build of the XO. Over 2000 units were built. Additional information is available at BTest-4 Release Notes.
Texture was added to the upper handle bar, the hinge tilt was increased by 7 degrees, the hinge "squeak" was eliminated, the rabbit ears click in place when put in the "down" position", the slight camera vignetting seen in B3 was eliminated, and minor modifications were made to the motherboard.
- Rubber antenna "ears"
- Dimples only on battery cover; no texturing of bumpers and other surfaces
- Labels under battery include "B4 - TEST SAMPLE",
- The hinge cover is now white, not green
Software Support
Beta Test 4 laptops work with current software releases.
They may experience hardware problems with extensive suspend/resume or low battery, and the software prevents suspend/resume on B4's.
- There may be occasional crashes (possibly made worse by suspend/resume) when the battery is running low. Above 25% of capacity, or plugged into a power adapter, you should be OK (Trac #1835)
- There may be times when the WLAN (USB) hangs (possibly made worse by suspend/resume) (Trac #1752, #4476)
- Power cycling the DCON is liable to crash the laptop. This power cycling will occasionally happen in response to a DCON bug triggered by suspend/resume (#4479);
- Rare crashes may be caused by other sources during suspend/resume (Camera, SD card, clock settling time), some units may be more sensitive than others (#1835)

About this designer: Joe Colombo
Cesare Colombo (better known as Joe) was born in Milan in 1930. He attended the Brera Academy and the Milan Polytechnic school of Architecture. He worked as a painter, property developer, car salesman, and businessman before opening his own design studio in 1963. Within a few years he had won many major design awards. A tall, well-built, inveterate pipe smoker, he was never a slave to ideological bounds but embodied many of the utopian ideals of the 60s. He died prematurely in 1971 on his 41st birthday. His Boby Trolley line for B-Line is probably his best known work and is stocked by Aram Store.
About this brand: B-Line
Established in Italy in 1999, B-Line have been producing contemporary furniture solutions for the home, office and public areas ever since. With a strong stable of design talent such as Rodolfo Bonetto, Aziz Sariyer and, of course, Joe Colombo to draw from, they are able to uphold their enthusiasm for manufacturing and providing quality, contemporary and original products as well as iconic and award winning pieces such as Colombo's 'Boby Trolley'

Robert Pattinson's 'Swinger' Shirt: Open Relationship With Kristen Stewart?
Rob was spotted at Coachella wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word, "Swinger." Daring fashion choice or alternate lifestyle? You decide!
Even though Robert Pattinson, 25, is notoriously private about his relationship with Kristen Stewart, the Twilight actor sported a t-shirt at Coachella on April 22 that definitely hints at his sexual preferences. And it seems he's open for anything — and anyone!
The normally reserved actor took in the final musical performances of the weekend wearing a shirt with the words "Avalon Swingers" inked across his chest. Are Rob and Kristen, 22, trying to spice things up in the bedroom by adding in a guest star?
Avalon Swingers is a popular swingers site that invites men and women to "Start Your Sexual Revolution."
What do YOU think about Rob's daring fashion choice?

Mega Man Infinity is a web comic adaptation of "Rockman Infinity," a series of parody games created by Ukege for the MUGEN engine. This series aims to not only adapt material from the original games into a story, but also extend on it through many different aspects (such as creating depictions of every stage, where-as the original Rockman Infinity series was strictly a boss rush styled game). Important Note: A majority of the custom sprites (primarily those for the bosses) used in this series were created by Ukege and the rest of the Rockman Infinity MUGEN team. All credit for the creation of these sprites goes to them, with all other assets belonging to their original copyright holders (mainly, Capcom).

Type 85 submachine gun
Type 85 submachine gun has been developed during early 1980s as a less expensive replacement for Type 79 submachine gun; silenced version of the same weapon was developed to replace Type64 silenced submachine guns then in service with PLA. Both weapons were offered for export sales, as well as used by domestic police and military units.
Type85 submachine gun is a simple blowback weapon that fires from open bolt. It uses tubular receiver made from steel; long silencer tube is also made from steel. Safety / fire mode selector lever is located at the right side of the trigger unit, above the trigger guard, and allows for single shots and full automatic fire. Type 85 silenced SMG is optimized for special 7.62x25mm type 64 ammunition with heavy, subsonic bullet, but also can fire standard 7.62mm Type 51 /7.62x25 mm TT ammunition (with increased sound level). Gun is fed using same 30-round box magazines as Type 64 SMG. Shoulder stock is made from steel and folds to the right when not in use.

Hopefully, the return of Boozer after the all-star break will make up for what I'm losing in AJ. I doubt it... because it's hard to replace a 22/10 guy. I mean, yeah, Boozer did average about the same numbers, but he's coming back from injury... so who knows.

As we gear up for the 2013 Academy Awards, airing Feb. 24, The Root is speaking with black Oscar winners and nominees — past and present — about the prestigious honor.
(The Root) — Seeing Quincy Jones' name listed as a composer for the 1967 film In the Heat of the Night forever changed Russell Williams II's world. "I didn't think anyone with a permanent tan was behind the camera," he told The Root. The then-15-year-old, who never considered a film career, had an epiphany: He didn't have to be in front of the camera in order to be a part of the movie business. And it's good that things happened this way, because Williams — a voting member of the academy — has won two Academy Awards for sound mixing and knows a lot about the industry.
Williams, who has a news and documentary background, first came to Hollywood in 1979. He worked on television shows, but his first big break came with Field of Dreams, which was followed by Glory and then Dances With Wolves. In 1990 and 1991, he won Oscars for best sound for Glory and Dances With Wolves. Williams and his mentor Willie D. Burton (Bird, Dreamgirls) are the only African Americans to be nominated and win Oscars for best sound.
In 2002, while still hot in Hollywood, Williams abandoned Los Angeles' sunny weather for his native Washington, D.C., to care for his ailing father and work as Distinguished Artist-in-Residence at his alma mater, American University, where he's teaching a new crop of future filmmakers and documentarians.
Williams, also a two-time Primetime Emmy winner, took time between classes to discuss with The Root how winning Oscars changed his career, why there aren't more "positive" black movies and the purpose the Oscars serve for black nominees.
The Root: What do you think of the sentiment that African Americans don't need awards shows like the Oscars, since there are options like the NAACP Image Awards?
Russell Williams II: Well, that's true, if you're an actor … I wouldn't get an NAACP Image Award because they don't have the technical categories. I have gotten awards from African-American groups — don't get me wrong. But for some reason, someone like myself or Willie Burton or some of these people who are the real pioneers behind the cameras, apparently are not good enough to get an Image Award. That's not the image the NAACP wants to proffer. And I think that's precisely the wrong message.
We've never had a drought of talented people in front of the camera or behind the mic. But the longevity in this industry is on the business side and on the creative side. Especially now, with all of these kids playing with computers, if you go see a movie like Life of Pi, that will show you just what the future's going to look like in terms of computer work. Who's preparing these younger people to look at this as a possible career path and where you have to go to get the training to do that? Being in front of the camera isn't the only way to be in the business.
TR: You won back-to-back Oscars for Glory and Dances With Wolves, becoming the first African American to win multiple Oscars. What was it like for you the second time around?
RW: I was much calmer the second year. And I was the last person to think I was going to win a second Oscar. Now, everybody who knew me, when they heard that I was nominated again, said, "Well, you're going to win." And I said, "Nah, I don't think that's going to happen two years in a row."
The night before the Oscars, the black Hollywood folks attended the Tree of Life Awards, a black-tie dinner that the Friends of the Black Oscar Nominees put on, and Maya Angelou was there. Now, I did an interview with her when I was just a radio jock in undergrad at American U [and] her book Gather Together in My Name came out.
And strangely enough, in that interview, she said she was so disappointed with some young people because they had so many more opportunities coming in the door and did so little with them. After the interview aired, I would listen to that portion of the tape over and over again, and I would get pumped up and get my game face on.
Cut to 1991 at the party, and this is the first time that I've seen Maya Angelou since that interview. That was my first sign that I was going to win a second Oscar. And it didn't hurt that Denzel, who was kind of the emcee that night, said as he presented me with the Tree of Life award, "I'll see you tomorrow night onstage." And I said, "OK, brother, from your lips to God's ears."
He wasn't nominated that year but was a presenter. At the end of the Oscars, on the way to the Governors Ball, a reporter stopped Denzel to talk, and they didn't know me from a can of paint. And just to show you how unselfish Denzel was, he pulled me over to make sure that the viewing public knew about my record as the first African American to win multiple Oscars. And I thought that was very classy.
TR: How did becoming a two-time Oscar winner change your career?
RW: By the time the second one came along, it was like, "Well, maybe this wasn't a fluke, and maybe this guy is really hot." And I know that actresses generally get this all of the time, but it was one of the few times where I started getting courted to do projects. In other words, people would send scripts to see whether I wanted to work on their project. So that was really nice. It was still a balance between making sure I had a certain amount of white-directed projects on my résumé and black-directed projects, because you don't want to look like you only do one type of project.
I used to tell my agent, "Look, tell that person that I record voices. A microphone doesn't know what color these people are." So that's the reputation I wanted. I didn't want a reputation of, he's a black mixer, and he only works on black projects. No, I work on projects. You want to be thought of as the top; you don't want to be thought of as the top black person. Because your reputation is really all you have, period. So if someone gets that sullied, or your sully it yourself, it may take a long, long time before someone takes a chance on you again.
TR: People often complain that there's a dearth of quality black films.
RW: When you do hear the standard cry for more positive images from black filmmakers or even from the industry at large on the big screen, I always point out from the business side that very few of those movies made any money. Like Glory has certainly made its money back over these years, but it didn't make its money back when it was in theatrical release.
From a business model, especially if you're not putting up your money, it's hard to expect the majors or even major independents to continue to go to that well if the African-American audience that is now "more sophisticated" doesn't support these [positive] movies.
I'm not saying it has to do Titanic money, but it really has to do pretty well at the box office to convince anybody else that it's a sound business decision. They don't call it show love; it's show business.
A lot of independent white films don't make money at the box office, either. But whose money is it? The [African-American] audience — and it's probably a good thing — is no longer a monolith where we just go in lockstep [to the movies] just because it's a black face or a black director. We're as fickle as everybody else.

Dercum's disease is a very rare condition characterized by painful fatty lumps and nodules, called lipomas. Pain may be caused by the lipomas pressing on nearby nerves or by insufficient blood supply to the area and may be extreme and intense, continuous (lasting for hours), or may come and go in spasms. Patients may also experience more diffuse pain throughout fatty tissue. The condition is progressive and becomes worse over time.
Symptoms are usually first seen in adults, and the disease is less common in children and teenagers. The disease is most common in overweight postmenopausal women. However some patients who develop the disease are not obese. In general, Dercum's disease is thought to be a very rare condition.
The cause of Dercum's disease is not clear. Some evidence suggests it may be an inherited condition, but many cases have been reported that do not seem to involve genetic transmission from a parent to a child.
Currently, there is no known cure for Dercum's disease. Treatment focuses on management of symptoms, especially reduction of pain.
Signs and symptoms
: Dercum's disease is a very rare condition characterized by painful fatty lumps and nodules, called lipomas. The condition is progressive and becomes worse over time.
The painful fat deposits may appear almost anywhere on a patient's body. Very often, they are found on the hips, the inside of the knees, the upper arms, the buttocks, the armpit, or the stomach. Rarely, they are found on the face or hands.
: The pain that patients with Dercum's disease experience may be caused by the lipomas pressing on nearby nerves or by insufficient blood supply to the area and may be extreme and intense, continuous (lasting for hours), or may come and go in spasms. Pain usually increases when a lipoma is bumped or pressed. In some cases, just clothing touching the skin is enough to cause pain. Due to this pain, patients with Dercum's disease may have difficulty performing everyday tasks, such as walking, driving, or lifting objects.
: Patients with Dercum's disease often experience fatigue and a loss of strength.
Mental problems
: Some mild mental disturbances, including depression, confusion, and memory problems have been reported by patients with Dercum's disease. Some patients may have headaches or difficulty sleeping.
Dercum's disease is very rare and difficult to diagnose, and there are no tests that can be used to conclusively diagnose the condition.
Some patients may find that Dercum's disease is not well known or accepted in the medical field. In some instances, doctors have assumed that the symptoms are imaginary.
Typically, a diagnosis of Dercum's disease may be made when a patient experiences at least three months of chronic pain in fatty tissue.
: For unclear reasons, patients with Dercum's disease may experience swelling of the skin, which can cause the skin to become loose and inelastic.
: In some instances, patients may experience numbness or a burning sensation in a limb, especially the hands or feet. This is usually caused by a lipoma that is pressing against a nerve.
Impaired heart/lung function
: Lipomas may move to the heart or to the lungs and interfere with cardiac or pulmonary function. Although this occurs very rarely, it may lead to a potentially life-threatening situation.
: Currently, there is no known cure for Dercum's disease. Treatment focuses on management of symptoms, especially reduction of pain.
: Many drugs commonly used to relieve pain (such as analgesics like NSAIDs or acetaminophen) do not appear to be effective in treating Dercum's disease.
: One drug that has been used to treat Dercum's disease effectively is lidocaine, which is commonly used as an anesthetic. Patients receiving lidocaine intravenously over a 30-90 minute period have reported relief from pain lasting several weeks. Additionally, lidocaine has been administered using a patch. Side effects of lidocaine may include a drop in blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, dizziness, or headache.
: Surgical removal of lipomas usually is effective in reducing pain for a patient. However, surgery is not considered a cure, as lipomas often grow back after being removed.
: Liposuction (a surgical procedure used to remove fat from the body) may be used to treat Dercum's disease. Removal of fat often leads to a reduction in pain in patients and an improved quality of life.
Integrative therapies
: Currently, there is a lack of scientific data on the use of integrative therapies for the treatment or prevention of Dercum's disease.
Traditional or theoretical uses lacking sufficient evidence
Integrative therapies which lack sufficient clinical evidence for use in temporary pain relief from Dercum's disease symptoms include:
, and
High quality scientific evidence regarding prevention of Dercum's disease is currently lacking.

The cause of Dercum's disease is not clear. Some evidence suggests that it may be due to inheritance of a defective gene, but in many cases the disease appears to occur randomly. No gene or mutation that causes Dercum's disease has been identified.
Risk factors
Postmenopausal overweight women appear to have the greatest risk for developing Dercum's disease. Only about one in 20 individuals with Dercum's disease is male. The condition has also been observed in teenagers and children, but it is not as common.

The common trait shared by all those who call themselves designers is their creativity. Beyond that, the skills required to work in the field vary as widely as the jobs do. Falling under the umbrella of design are careers such as graphic design, interior design, floral design, web design, game design, textile design, and fashion design. And while the expertise needed to create evening wear is clearly different from that required to create a brochure, it's the creating part that ties the field together, and many of these basic design skills can be learned online.
Quite a few schools now offer online design programs. One of the biggest is the Art Institutes. With campuses in metropolitan areas around the country, the school has also added online programming to cater to the needs of even more students.
"Many of our students are working professionals and podcasting provides a number of benefits, such as the ability to download audio lectures to an iPod or MP3 player, to enhance the classroom experience and allow students to study on their own time from virtually any location," said Erin Waltman, the Art Institute Online's Business Analyst for Classroom Technology.
In addition, Westwood College offers a variety of degree programs, including an associate's program in graphic design and multimedia and bachelor's degrees in areas of study such as game art and design, game software development, interior design, visual communications, and web design and multimedia.
Also offering degrees online in various design specialties are American Intercontinental University, Ashford University (concerntration in visual communications or marketing in their organizational management programs), Baker College, and Capella University.
The curriculum at any of these schools largely depends on the student's chosen area of concentration. Most designers-in-training will have to take art classes, as well as computer training courses to learn to use programs such as CADD (Computer Assisted Design and Drafting) or Adobe Illustrator.
"Knowing how to use the software is crucial," said Pittsburgh-based graphic designer Scott Dziura.
However, technical know-how will only get you so far. Creativity, he adds – yes, there's that word again – is also a must. And so is a worthy portfolio.
"That's essentially it for us," Dziura said of a designer's portfolio.
It's also a good idea to find a program that encourages regular interaction with instructors and other students, as the ability to brainstorm and handle criticism is important in any field of design.
Some schools offer online students payment plans. Tuition fees depend largely on the institution and the type of program in which the student is enrolled.

Two friends and I just returned from an amazing 14-day tour of Morocco. It was a pleasure to leave details to knowledgeable, in-country experts and brothers Hamid and Youssef of Morocco Expert Tours. Although the value of a wonderful adventure is immeasurable, I saw a similar itinerary this month for group travel at several thousand dollars more than the $2,400 we paid for our trip. Morocco Expert Tours also does day trips and custom itineraries.

Mailvox: a call to edit
The other day I was interested for no particular reason in the founding of Oxford University, and looked it up on IG. The content was the original material pulled from Wikipedia. To my astonishment, or maybe I was naive, there was no mention of the crucial role of the Church in laying the foundations of the university system. Here's what it said:People often ask me why this Infogalactic page doesn't have X or why that Infogalactic page has Y. To everyone, my answer is the same: because you haven't fixed it.
"Teaching at Oxford existed in some form as early as 1096, but it is unclear when a university came into being. It grew quickly in 1167 when English students returned from the University of Paris. The historian Gerald of Wales lectured to such scholars in 1188 and the first known foreign scholar, Emo of Friesland, arrived in 1190."
So apparently those were the highlights of the one-hundred-year period that began with a handful of monks and ended up setting the world standard for institutions of higher learning. Fortunately, there was an entire section on the history of women's blahblah, in which I was informed that "Oxford and Cambridge were widely perceived to be bastions of male privilege." Until they were converged, of course.
Needless to say, this cannot stand, so I jumped in and made some edits. Much more can and will be done. If anyone out there is wondering what the point of Infogalactic is and why it's important to get involved, hopefully this example will demonstrate why Wikipedia needs to be disrupted. It's biased, and SJWs have smeared their feces all over the place as a form of territorial display. And yet to many people Wikipedia is an impressive and reliable source. We will do better.
Someday it may be possible to view IG content from the perspective of a Christ-hating SJW sperg. When that day comes, I suggest we call that perspective "Wikipedia."
I am not the reality police. The Techstars are not occupying themselves with trying to fix all of the egregious errors and propaganda that litters Wikipedia, and which Infogalactic has inherited by virtue of its nature as a dynamic fork. What we're doing, rather, is giving the truth-oriented community the ability to fix these things themselves, for their own benefit, on their own time. With 7 million pages to date, that's all the dev team can reasonably expect to do.
So get involved. Do one edit per day. Join the Burn Unit. Start using IG News and IG Tech for your headlines. Get a group of five editors together and launch your own IG Francais or IG Finance or IG FPS. All of these things are possible, but all of them require action, not mere intentions. And, in doing so, help Infogalactic continue to grow into the replacement for Wikipedia that it is designed to be.

Starlight: Revealing the Universe at Clarkson University Science Cafe
"Starlight: Revealing the Universe" will be discussed by Clarkson University Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics Joshua D. Thomas at the Science Cafe on Tuesday, February 26, at 7:15 p.m. in the Park View Common Room, above the Blackbird Cafe, 107 Main St. in Canton, N.Y., and on Wednesday, February 27, at 7:15 p.m. in the Potsdam Civic Center Community Room in Potsdam, N.Y.
Starlight allows astronomers to learn not only about what stars are made of, but also what lies between the stars and us. Light from stars illuminates many beautiful nebulae, such as those photographed with the Hubble Space Telescope.
By studying changes in the brightness of light in the data from the Kepler mission, astronomers have detected more than 2,000 planets around other stars. Join Thomas in this exciting journey to the stars.
Science Cafes bring together engineers, scientists and townspeople in a relaxed, informal setting, such as coffeehouses and pubs. The speaker makes a short presentation about a topic in his or her field, and then opens up the floor to discussion.
Find out more about Clarkson's Science Cafe at http://www.clarkson.edu/sciencecafe.
E-mail Daniel ben-Avraham at email@example.com with any questions or suggestions for future Science Cafe topics.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

#SAVEUSPRONGER – A look back at the NHL 2007 Entry Draft
#SAVEUSPRONGER (Recapping NHL Drafts from Pronger's Departure – 2007 Edition)
Written By Ken Moorhouse (RHBDKEN)
The 2006-07 season for the Edmonton Oilers can be categorized as a slow moving disaster as the realization of the fact that we were now nowhere close to the same team we were just the previous season. After the last draft the Oilers in very desperate moves tried to fill in the voids that were left by Pronger with developing 2nd line winger Joffrey Lupul, Defenseman Ladislav Smid and several draft picks. Still however it was a quite summer for Kevin Lowe as the only major move he made was picking up Jan Hejda from the Buffalo Sabers who proved to be a very good depth defenseman in the NHL.
Once the season started the Oilers floated with a .500 record that lasted until the NHL Trade Deadline where the second biggest face of the franchise player was traded due to a contract dispute. Ryan Smyth was shipped off to the Islanders for forwards Robert Nilsson, Ryan O'Marra and the Islanders 1st round pick 15th Overall in the 2007 NHL Draft.
Right after this major trade the Oilers play on the ice sharply declined as we fell from just below the playoff line to 6th last in the NHL in a matter of two months. This then prepared Continue reading '#SAVEUSPRONGER – A look back at the NHL 2007 Entry Draft'»

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Coptic Christians in Egypt continue to live with discrimination, oppression and persecution from the Islamic majority. Muslim attacks on Christians, random and unprovoked, are based on jihad and often sanctioned by the state. Coptic victims are often hauled off to jail for the crimes committed against them.
In 1,400 years, not one Egyptian Muslim authority – civic, social, or religious – has apologized, denounced, or condemned these actions.
Recently, the grand imam of Al-Azhar University, Ahmed al-Tayyeb, and his diplomatic envoy, Mahmoud Abdel Gawad, requested that the newly installed Catholic head, Pope Francis, issue a public statement declaring that "Islam is a peaceful religion." We wonder why the Pope would choose to use prescribed words or succumb to urgings for commentary. Will Pope Francis be influenced by the fact that Al-Azhar made their request a necessary condition to resume relations with the Vatican?
Voice of the Copts believes that the Al-Azhar grand imam instead should issue a formal, public statement directed to his followers in the Arabic language conveying an unequivocal message that Muslims attacking Christians in Egypt do not conform to true Islam and will no longer be tolerated. A clear denunciation of Muslim sectarian violence against Christians in Egypt by Sunni religious leaders would be welcomed as Al-Azhar seeks the Pope's endorsement of Muslim non-violence.
Real peace comes from within
Favorable appraisals of Islam from leaders around the world, whether formulated out of pressure, denial or appeasement, will never repair Islam's disreputable image -- one earned through a long history of aggression based upon a supremacy doctrine.
Islamic authorities at Al-Azhar must first be willing to acknowledge that progress for Islam begins with their own steps toward equality and peaceful co-existence.
A forced statement elicited from Pope Francis could never change the reality of Islam, but only, at best, cause recognition of Islam as something that in practice it is not.
Dr. Ashraf Ramelah is founder and president of Voice of the Copts, an organization that aims to bring the plight of Egypt's Christians to the wider Christian world.

- 155g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 tsp vanilla essence
- Place the biscuits in the bowl or a food processor and process until finely crushed( I used a pestle and mortar). Add the butter and process until well combined. Transfer to the lined pan. Use the back of a spoon or a straight-sided glass to spread and press the biscuit mixture firmly over the base and side of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 160°C. Place the cream cheese, sour cream and sugar in the clean bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, and process until well combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in oven for 1 hour or until just set in the centre. Turn oven off. Leave the cheesecake in the oven, with the door slightly ajar, until cooled completely (this will prevent the cake from cracking). Let It cool down for an hour or so. 4.Remove the cheesecake from the pan, and pour the chocolate mix on the cake
