Promise to make gift is not enforceable
Q. I recently moved into a new apartment. The apartment pays a referral fee. I told them my friend referred me. My friend actually did not refer me, but I knew he lived in the complex. When I told my friend he was going to get the money, he agreed to split it with me. Now he refuses to share. Can I take him to small claims court?
A. In my opinion, you do not have any basis for a lawsuit. Your friend promised to give you a gift. He simply agreed to share his money with you. Such promises are not enforceable.
As a general rule, for a promise to be enforceable it must be a contract. To be a contract, the promise must have what the law calls "consideration." This means that there must be something given in exchange for the promise. For example, a promise to pay for something you will receive, or in exchange for another person's promise to do something is an enforceable contract. If your friend had said, "If you tell them I referred you, I will split the money with you," his promise would be enforceable. He asked for something in return for his promise. On the other hand, his promise to share money was not given in exchange for any action on your part, and, therefore, was an unenforceable promise to make a gift.

There is a spectral albedo for Venus. That can be turned into XYZ, via the CIE tables. Then convert that into Standard RGB ("sRGB"), which is a set of phosphor chromas that the computer industry and the HDTV people all more or less agree on. It has a gamma of 2.2.
Here's a set of planet colors, with brightnesses proportional to the total albedo:Planetary Palette
I came across Don Mitchell's page, so the RGB values could indeed be calculated for Venus (sky) as seen from space and from the Venusian surface.
It's interesting that Rayleigh scattering from CO2 is somewhat competitive with the scattering of light by the clouds. Only 2.5% absorption by clouds as well in visible light.

A long-dormant thread awakens!
I think one thing is clear: If a person orbiting Venus looked down at the clouds, the sensation would probably be pain. It hurts to look at white snow on a sunny day and Venus is similar but twice as bright. It would have an overwhelming brilliance that would require some sort of filtering sunglasses for a person to have a chance at perceiving it without saturation of the cones. And once you're filtering, "real" goes out the window.
We could employ neutral filters that damp down every wavelength equally, but the psychophysical research says that the degree of damping affects the perceived color (i.e., the Purkinje Effect). So now we're once again into the realm of the subjective.
Over the past few months, I've looked at Venus more often than any other year. Sometimes at night, but often in the day, seeing its gibbous and crescent forms in a blue daytime sky, including yesterday when I saw it at inferior conjunction north of the Sun, appearing neither in the evening nor morning, with its southern crescent lit. I've looked at it at least ten times since early December. In the daytime blue sky, Venus looks white the same white as a front lit cumulus cloud. In a dark sky, I have felt like there are hints of color, but they're right at the threshold of perceptibility and, moreover, the atmospheric conditions on Earth may introduce a bigger color signal than whatever is on Venus itself.
Here's an interesting look at the empirical facts, from Venus Express:
The top panel shows that Venus' spectrum is sloped very slightly towards the blue over most of the visible range, but then it begins to fall off steeply in reflectance into the violet. In essence, Venus is not spectrally neutral but the short, steep decline in violet is offset by the long, gradual excess blue relative to the longer wavelengths. But this empirical data is only as meaningful as our ability to translate it in terms of perception and there we get into the murkiness of human color vision, phase angle, etc.
In summary, Venus appears almost painfully, brilliantly white. In conditions when lenses, mirrors, or filters decrease the intensity, it's still very close to white with an excess of blue and a deficit of violet perhaps canceling out, but what is perceived will depend upon context.

This video not only has a nice overview of the Akatsuki mission, but also has a nice global view of Venus at around 1:20. I have no idea what produced this image, but it looks right to me. Quite similar to the view I made by taking my own photos of a gibbous Venus, projecting them onto a map, filling in the gaps assuming perfect symmetry, and then projecting that map onto a sphere for the "full" Venus view.

This may be about as good as you can get from Earth for a true-color photo of Venus in a full phase. Taken by amateur Arnaud van Kranenburg back in 2006 as part of the amateur campaign to assist Venus Express. The leftmost image in the second row is RGB, and seems close to true color, and Venus is 98% full. If you wanted to "convert" this to 100% full, it would do pretty well to copy the right limb and reflect it over the left side, which features the almost-full terminator.
What's lacking is resolution Venus was on the far side of the Sun and the instrument was only a 9.25-inch telescope. However, since there is likely next to no discernible detail to be had at higher resolution, it's not too hard to upscale + blur (+ deconvolve) this into a very good simulation of what the same view at higher resolutions would resemble.

I hope you will forgive me, but I need to brag a little.
Danielle "Ellie" Theresa Daigle, also known as Daughter No. 2, got married last Saturday.
Now she is Mrs. Jamison Nay and on her honeymoon in Burlington, Vt. It was supposed to be Costa Rica, but the trip was too costly. They have a house and a mortgage and paid for their own wedding with some generous help from Jamie's parents. So instead of tropical butterflies, they will see snowflakes. In place of waterfalls that tumble into verdant pools in lush rain forests, they will see mountains capped in white and the chilly waters of Lake Champlain. I hope they love it.
Life is seldom what we expect it to be, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. You never know: Vermont could end up beating Costa Rica hands down. And, it's not bad training for the marathon called marriage — a partnership that demands team work and acceptance and enjoyment of the unexpected. Ellie and Jamie have done a lot of that in the last year as they planned the wedding — economizing here and there while still managing to create a moving, memorable celebration.
There was more heart than dollars in the ceremony and party that followed — from their handwritten wedding vows to the frosted wine bottle centerpieces Ellie made for each table and the chocolate chip cookie bar favors she and some of her bridesmaids baked and wrapped for the guests, each sealed with a sticker bearing pictures of the bride and groom.
The wedding exuded elegance so beyond those flashy affairs propped up by someone's checkbook. Ellie chose the simplest of gowns — creamy white with a sweetheart neckline and a modest train. The clean lines of the dress made the biggest statement. The only adornment was a thick band of crystal beading at the waist that reminded me of how it looks when sunlight hits a field of freshly fallen snow and the surface sparkles like billions of tiny diamonds.
The bridesmaids wore iridescent pine green sheaths reminiscent of the styles of the 1950s and 60s popularized on the TV series "Mad Men," while the groom and his groomsmen were dressed in classic gray suits, vests and ties. Even the flowers were tasteful and unassuming bouquets of fresh lavender. The grayish, purple flowers were in perfect contrast to the rich green of the dresses.
The wedding was everything I had hoped for Ellie and Jamie — stylish, tasteful and heartfelt. I hope their honeymoon is the same.
The funny thing is my husband, Dan and I also honeymooned in Vermont 35 years ago. And though it wasn't at all what we had planned, it remains a precious memory that sustained us over some very rough terrain in the first few years of our marriage.
Dan and I couldn't really afford much of a honeymoon, but decided on a quick getaway to Vermont. My dad was dying of cancer at the time and we needed to escape the strain of his long illness, if only for a few days. Dan and I did not have a real plan, but decided to drive to Canada via Vermont. On the first day, we ended up in Stowe and skied Mount Mansfield where attendants placed furry blankets on us for our chairlift ride to the summit.
That night we dined on duck l'orange at the little hotel where we were staying and bought paper bathing suits out of a vending machine so we could go swimming in the heated pool there. It was crazy, romantic and completely unexpected.
At 5 a.m. the next morning we were awakened by Vermont state troopers pounding on the hotel room door to deliver a message. My dad had taken a turn for the worse and we had to go home. We got back in time to say good-bye. He died that night.
It was a heartbreaking ending to our very brief honeymoon, but months and years later, the memories of our one-day getaway still make me smile.
So, to my daughter, Ellie, and her husband, Jamison, I wish you furry blankets, paper bathing suits, duck l'orange and a lifetime of happiness.

I've been using this product for quite a while now. It is my "money maker/time saver".
I typically use it like a "cleaner wax", but this past weekend I did something different.
It was a car that I had done work on in 2015. It was getting a "lease return package". Since it had been a while since I worked on the car, it had some damage. Thus, I thought I'd approach M66 like it was a Polish.
I started with four drops on a black finishing pad, spread the product around the work section, and did four moderately slow section passes. I couldn't believe how much the paint was able to be "cleaned up".
I reloaded the pad with two or three drops, and wiped clean with a microfiber between every section pass. Since he was turning the car in, I didn't bother letting the wax dry before wiping off, and it still had a clear, slick finish.
Just wanted to mention how great this product is.

THE online travel company TripAdvisor will introduce on Tuesday an ambitious redesign of its Flights search feature that will provide detailed information globally on any given flight's price — including added charges for options like extra legroom — as well as on in-flight amenities like the availability of Wi-Fi and in-seat power ports.
Underscoring the rapid growth in international travel and the demand for easily accessible comparison-shopping information, the feature will be localized for 31 countries and in 17 languages.
"Not all flights are the same; not all airlines are the same," Bryan Saltzburg, the general manager for new initiatives at TripAdvisor, told me in a phone conversation Sunday morning.
Mr. Saltzburg's understatement underlines the complexity in choices and options that travelers now encounter, as airlines in the United States and around the world refine a successful business model based on charging customers what they choose to pay for service, comfort and convenience.
TripAdvisor describes its redesign as a move to simplify what can be an enormously complicated shopping experience for those who book their own flights, as a growing number of business travelers do. A given search result will show all available flights, with fare comparisons and a breakdown, by flight segment, of amenities and services on a particular airplane.
Mr. Saltzburg said: "Customers will have transparency while they're making a booking decision between Flight A and Flight B, which might be the same cost. Are extra-legroom seats available for sale? That's clearly indicated on the initial results page."
Other information is presented, like seat pitch, flight on-time records, and availability of Wi-Fi and in-seat power ports, as well as seatback video and TV. Search results will also display what Mr. Saltzburg calls "candid photos" taken by customers on thousands of flights.
For many business travelers, the old days of faithfully booking the airline on which the traveler has loyalty status are waning, as airlines around the world put a price tag on many perks — better (or less-awful) coach seats, upgrades and the like — that used to be given as awards for mileage-program status. Meanwhile, as airlines have merged and begun sharing more flights through global alliances, the experience of booking an international trip, even on a favored airline, has become more complicated.
"With airline consolidation, customers have more choice of who they can fly, even within their loyalty network, while the value of loyalty programs has been diminishing year over year," Mr. Saltzburg said. Comparing and evaluating costs and services airline by airline, even airplane by airplane on specific flight segments, can be a real challenge.
He added, "We know which routes which aircraft are assigned to," on any airline's scheduled flight (though, of course, airlines occasionally change an aircraft model at the last minute). Those flying in business class, for example, would like to know that a 747-8 on a long international flight might have all flat-bed seats, while another flight might have older-style, less comfortable seats at basically the same price. "That can be a meaningful decision point" in booking, Mr. Saltzburg said.
"For business-class travelers, is it a flat seat that you're about to purchase, is it an angled flat, or a cradled business-class seat?" he said. "All are very different and can be hugely important for that flight you're going to be taking from Los Angeles to Sydney."
In all flying classes, legroom and seating comfort are by far the main considerations passengers cite when asked about the most important in-flight amenity, assuming they are given a choice.
Incidentally, as the economy improves, more business travelers are flying internationally, and more are flying up front in the expensive seats. "Since the fourth quarter of 2013, business has been really strong on both trans-Atlantic and Asia routes," said Paul Metselaar, the chief executive of Ovation Corporate Travel, a major agency that does a big business in business-class and first-class bookings. "Our clients across the board are traveling much more globally and much more in general."
Clients of a big corporate travel agency like Ovation can depend on experts to manage all details, negotiate prices with airlines and customize their bookings. Business travelers who make their own plans while staring at a screen and trying to sort through the array of choices, however, have long clamored for simplicity and transparency in what is, after all, a shopping experience.
TripAdvisor, which was spun off in 2011 by the online booking company Expedia, operates more than a dozen other travel sites. They include SeatGuru.com, which provides diagrams and evaluations of airplane seats and cabin layouts by model of plane and airline. TripAdvisor, which makes its money mostly from advertising, does not book travel. Once a choice is made, the search engine sends the customer to the airline or a global booking site.
But it does provide easy-to-see information for making those choices. TripAdvisor, for example, claims more than 100 million user-generated hotel evaluations and other travel reviews.
In booking a flight, Mr. Saltzburg said, the revamped Flights feature "will help consumers understand they can have a very different experience at the same dollar, whether it's a four-hour flight or a 15-hour one."

Jim Boeheim advocates gun control after 900th win
Syracuse men's basketball Jim Boeheim didn't confine his comments after his 900th career victory Monday to the happenings on the court. He also spoke about gun control in the United States.
The Syracuse Post-Standard posted video of Boeheim speaking in his post-game news conference about watching news coverage Monday of last week's massacre of children and elementary school educators in Newtown, Conn.
BOEHEIM:Syracuse coach notches historic win
"If we in this country as Americans cannot get the people who represent us to do something about firearms, we are a sad, sad society," Boeheim said.
Boeheim made clear he was talking about control of assault weapons, not rifles. "I've hunted," Boeheim said. "I'm not talking about rifles, that's fine."
Boeheim concluded his news conference by saying, "If we can't get this thing done, I don't know what kind of country we have."

Cumberbatch to make Comic-Con debut
Benedict Cumberbatch is to appear at Comic-Con in San Diego for the first time, to promote DreamWorks animation The Penguins Of Madagascar.
The Sherlock star voices Classified, a secret agent wolf, who is head of a covert protective force of animals, in the Madagascar spin-off , which sees the penguins on a mission to save their species.
Though Sherlock has been promoted at Comic-Con in the past, neither Benedict nor co-star Martin Freeman were in attendance.
Benedict may also stick around for the preview of Warner Bros The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies at the convention, as he voices dragon Smaug in the film.
The British actor will be joined on the Penguins panel by John Malkovich - who voices new villain octopus Octavius Brine - Tom McGrath, voice of lead penguin Skipper, and directors Simon J Smith and Eric Darnell.
DreamWorks announced its Comic-Con previews will also include animated movie Home, about aliens hiding on Earth, featuring the voices of Jim Parsons, Jennifer Lopez, Steve Martin and music from Rihanna, which is due for release next March.
Meanwhile, Deadline reported Star Wars: Episode VII will not be making an appearance at the convention.
Fans had hoped director JJ Abrams and some of the cast may be in attendance to celebrate the revival of the franchise and possible even preview some footage from the highly anticipated reboot.
But sources close to the production and at Comic-Con said JJ and the cast, who are busy shooting the movie in London, will not be flying over.
There will however be a panel for new Disney XD animated TV series Star Wars Rebels.

Is Your Body Acidic?
Are You ACIDIC or ALKALINE?
It is generally known that acidity is the the principle cause of disease. Human acidity leads to disease, operations and an almost certain early funeral. The accumulation of acid in our blood and our cells is one of the principle causes of disease and death. All cooked, fried and baked foods are acid forming and almost all drugs, pills, drinks, tonics, soda, liquors, coffee and all manufactured foods are acid forming. All canned foods are also acid forming due to their processing with ingredient additives such as preservatives.
Acid is one of the causes of gastritis, heartburn, burning in the chest, bloating, poor memory and low energy. Acidity also causes arthritis, urinary ailments, heart valve problems and kidney problems. If we can keep the tissues nourished, stomach, blood and bones alkaline we will be healthy, youthful, vigorous, lively and strong.
It is impossible to get sick as long as the human body is ALKALINE. An Alkaline diet results in health, longevity, youth and beauty. Maintaining the proper PH alkaline balance in our bodies is CRUCIAL to living a healthy an long life.
PH Facts:
- The PH scale runs from 0 to 14
- 0 - 6.9 = Acidic
- 7 = Neutral
- The PH of 1 is similar to the acid in your car battery
A low PH means your body is low on oxygen and Cancer loves to live in a low PH Acidic Environment. The pH of our blood has to remain around 7.25-7.45 at all times.

Summer Makeup: The Setting Sun
Summer Makeup: The Setting Sun
If you've been a long-time reader, you've probably gotten the hint that I love me some sunset-ish colors and looks. I can't help it! I gravitate towards them. Golds got a hold on me! I think I'm going to do a green look next. Like totally freakin' green. I try to give greens a rest, since I also have a thing for green, but I think I am due for something green.
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), MAC Goldmine Eyeshadow (gold), MAC Amber Lights Eyeshadow (copper), MAC Cranberry Eyeshadow (cranberry), MAC Antiqued Eyeshadow (warm dark brown), MAC Orb Eyeshadow (highlighter), Urban Decay Lucky 24/7 Liner (copper), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (translucent)
- Cheeks: MAC Margin Blush (dirty coral), Dior Amber Diamond SkinShimmer (bronze highlighter)
- Lips: MAC Funbathing Lipstick (berry), MAC Easy Lounger Lipglass (soft pink)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 217 (fluffy angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Funbathing = O; Easy Lounger = Prr
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Goldmine eyeshadow on the entire lid. Lightly blend Cranberry eyeshadow on the inner crease with the 217. Next, apply Amber Lights eyeshadow on the outer third of the lid with the 239. Define the crease with Antiqued eyeshadow and the 226. Blend Orb eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Lucky liner on the lower lash line and then pat Goldmine eyeshadow beneath. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Margin blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116, then lightly pat Amber Diamond skinshimmer on the cheekbones to highlight.
For lips, apply Funbathing lipstick first, and then layer Easy Lounger lipglass for a complementing lip.

Welcome to the K-State Gamers Board Forums!
For the past 14 years K-State Gamers Board has succeeded in its mission to bring people together from different majors and members of the surrounding community to socialize and interact in a healthy and safe environment. However, due to a steady decline in attendance over the past several years and a lack of student interest to fill leadership roles, KGB will no longer continue to host LAN events. Everyone is encouraged to join the K-State Gamers Board Steam group at http://steamcommunity.com/groups/k-stategamersboard for the occasional Steam game night. KGB has reserved adequate funds to maintain a web presence at kgb-lan.net for the foreseeable future.
To all of our members who made this organization great, THANK YOU!

Last night on MetsBlog Radio, which you can listen to here, I said the Royals will give top hitting prospect Wil Myers to the Mets, only if Sandy Alderson parts with Zack Wheeler in addition to Niese << click to tweet this.
Today, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin takes it a step further, saying on Twitter, "The Royals actually talked to the Mets more about Niese and Wheeler in trade variations involving Myers - not Dickey." However, he adds, "It's not happening."
Good. I'm all for Myers, but not at the expense of Niese, and I'm pretty sure Sandy Alderson would agree. That trade makes zero sense, even if the Royals add to the deal. However, it gives a bit of insight in to how much Kansas City appreciates their top hitting prospect, who is also being pursued by the Rays.

Wow! I just came across an old guest post I did for Millie over at Real Food for Less Money | Homespun Oasis for her day-in-the-life series, Someone Else's Shoes.
Things sure have settled down around here since then. Since I feel like that post set an unsustainable standard, I thought I'd go ahead and answer her questions again so you can see the difference.
We don't have farm animals any more and I'm not working much outside the home. We've moved closer to TinyHands's job and reduced our housing expense. I'm feeling a lot more focused and less pressured!

See how we weave our Welsh tapestry, tweed or travelling rugs on a vintage loom (Monday - Friday except Bank Holidays, February 18th 2019 - mid December).
Our Dobcross looms are over 50 years old. The wide chain controls which shafts are raised and lowered to make the pattern. The narrow chain chooses the shuttles and therefore what colour weft thread is inserted.

These thoughts haven't come from being discontent, or because of anything happening -or not happening- but rather due as a regular checking-in. Something I do often to ensure I'm not making assumptions (thinking I get to choose what makes my children happy and alive), and the assessment also reigns in the "I'm the boss" urges, and I get to recalibrate to a more joyful point.
So. What makes for Perfect?
What are my favorite things?
What makes me spin up to the clouds?
What is it that makes me want to weep with the pure joy of the thing, at the end of a day?
Good exercise, asking that.
Adventure : I love a fine adventure. Tromping, photographing, wandering, uncovering, seeking...
Stimulation : I love it when we're stimulated. Interested. Inspiration and rabbit holes.
Fulfillment : Being filled up to the tippety-top with goodliness. Icecream cones, bike rides, music in the park.
The Cool Factor. Something -anything- extraordinarily cool.
Imagination : True creativity, ingenuity, inventiveness, make-believe...
Wonder : Curiosity.
Thrive : That means happy, curious, and learning.
Sparkle : Sparkly smiles, sparkly home.
These things run together, hmm? One leads to three others, or all leads to one.
But practically speaking, if I have managed to enkindle or affect even one of these things in a day, then I figure I have done my job very, very well.
"Good morning, darling," Snuggle, snuggle. "I was just thinking about what makes me really happy. About my favorite things to do. What are your favorite things? What makes you really, really happy?"
"Well, playing with you, going to the park, getting on the computer, finding out new things, going for walks...."
"That's a fine start to the list."
"And playing with stuffed animals."
"If you could design a perfect day, what would it look like?"
"Well, you did say we could go swimming today."
"Yeah. I don't necessarily mean today... I just mean things that make you go, 'Wow life is good!'"
"I already told you."
"Playing with me, going to the park, getting on the computer, finding out new things, going for walks..."
"And playing with my stuffed animals. And play with the dog. And have some fun."
"Anything else?"
"Well, there are lots of different things that make me happy!"
I got to Trevelyn, soon after.
"I've been thinking about the way we do things, and what we do, and have been thinking about happiness. Your happiness. What makes for a really good day for you? What are your very favorite things?"
After twelve different ways of asking, we finally got to, "Well, I don't want to be obvious, and say playing on the computer and wii."
"This is your list, Bud. And I am asking. Name whatever the things are that make you feel that life is so, so good. What does a perfect day look like? Or twelve perfect days?" Had to explain my version of Perfect to him. Hmmph. "I don't mean 'nothing goes wrong', I mean, "Wow! I love my life! But forget perfect, if you like.... think really, really great. What are the most fun things for you?"
You might suppose this to be a really obvious question and answer. You live with and love your son. What does he like? But we're talking about the relationship between a very enthusiastic mother, and a little moonchild, who almost always says that he -but not always actually does- prefers to stay, here, in his shell. As Is. I don't drag him kicking and screaming, but his family does coax and nudge him a bit... which brings up all kinds of questions in the mind and heart of an unschooling Mama who absolutely believes in sovereignty and a tyranny-free childhood.
"Well. I do like going out and doing fun things. I like going to lunch, and to get an icecream. I like going skating, or to the zoo, or the aquarium, and to the dinosaur park.
"And I like playing games with my mom. Especially Quoridor, Quarto, Pentago, Rumis, Checkers, the Allowance Game, Big Brain, and the pyramid game."
"And you like playing on the computer, and the wii."
"What is is that you like about the computer? Besides JPOG?" (I know the specifics of why 'JPOG'--it's a Jurassic Park game--it's similar to zoo tycoon, only it's just dinosaurs, on an island. You have to raise them from dna you've dug out of the ground, etc, etc.)
"I like exploring the internet. Lately I've been playing Godzilla again, so I'm really liking the Tojo Kingdom shorts."
"What's that?"
"Really short animated films that Tojo makes. They're really funny."
"Ah, I see." Then, "Are there things that we do that you don't like? Things you'd like never to see again?"
"A lot of times at night I get really bored on the computer." (Trev stays up later than the rest of us do, ordinarily--always has.) "When I get bored like that, I just get off of it, and go to bed. Sometimes I wish you were there, with ideas of things to do."
"I can't be up at that time, Bud. I'm just not made that way."
"I know."
"Do you think that if you played on the computer all day, that you would be bored by evening? That the reason you get bored with it at night is because you've played with Maddie and I a lot during the day, and so when you get on the computer, after a while you just get bored?"
What I was trying to get to, was a sort of assessment of his life, and a recognition of things that make him happy, and fulfilled. Not things that I want him to appreciate, just an acknowledgment of good things in his life, so that we might better pursue those goodly things.
"So anything that you don't like? Never want to see, again? Do you never want me to ask again you if you want to do such and such?" Play games, I was thinking... check things out... science investigations....
Again, asking these questions is something I feel compelled to do, as I get really worried about dominating this child's life.
"No. If you never asked me if I want to do something... I'd be bored to death, I think." Quite a realization, that. Maybe it wasn't news to him, but it sure was good news to me!
"D'you think?"
"I like to read my books. My encyclopedias. And I like running around outside. And jumping (on the trampoline). And biking."
"Anything else? Anything that makes you feel really good? Like.... getting along well with Maddie? Playing with Dad?"
"Yeah! Both of those things. It's a good day when Maddie doesn't torment me."
"Yeah... I was thinking more along the lines of you guys playing together, and being happy together."
"Yeah. It's always good when we play and she doesn't annoy me." :) Was trying to get him to see his own part in that tango, but they communicate with each other pretty well for the most part, so I'll let that slide...
"Anything else? I've been asking you a lot lately how I can love you better, and you never really have any answers for me... this is all connected. I'm checking in. I want you to be happy."
"No. I can't think of anything. I want to be respected. But I don't want to be spoiled."
"What does that mean? That you don't want to be spoiled?"
"I just mean that I don't expect to get anything or everything. No matter what. Whenever I want."
"Hmmm." Like Tv Mike? Varuca? Violet? Upon further questioning, he's referring to Greg's younger brother (Diary of a Wimpy Kid). I think what he means is that he doesn't expect the world to revolve around him. That he knows he's a part of something (family, community, society), and he is aware of others' needs, too. I told him that we try to find a way for him to get most of what he wants, and we never spank, and he's not spoiled.... but we'll save all that for another day.
Alright, then.
Seems that we're doing alright.
My ideas of happiness are absolutely true for me, and there is an abundance of (infinite!) room in there for the babes' delight, also.
I truly believe that we're open and accepting enough with our children that they could (and more importantly, would) tell us if something was going the wrong way. Away from Joy.
The intention of the initial question is to keep communication open of course, but it is also a great way for me to exercise unattachment (being unconditional)... and I have to do everything I can to make it known to my children that they are not responsible for my happiness, while also allowing that their happiness is a cause for my own.
Lots of words to say that... you know...
All is well.

Key Volunteers
The Key Wives Network has evolved over the last 15 years within the Marine Corps. It began with the increasing percentage of married Marines and the realization that issues concerning family members impact on a Marine's ability to focus on the duties assigned. The Key Wives Network proved its value during Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm when many units deployed with little advance warning. Family members left behind relied on each other for information, help, referrals, and support. In recognition of the valuable contribution made by the informal networks, General Carl E. Mundy Jr., Commandant of the Marine Corps, formalized the Key Volunteer Network within the Marine Corps.
Just as the Network has evolved over time, so has the role of the Key Volunteer. Overall, Key Volunteers are better trained today and are more professional in the execution of their duties than those of any previous time. They are also keenly aware of their role as a conduit for communication between the families and the unit. The unit Key Volunteer Network is a reflection of the CO and his/her priorities; its strength lies in its ability to assist the unit by serving the needs of its families.

Game Info
Harvard at Columbia
Game Info
Harvard at Cornell
The Storyline
The Harvard men's basketball team will look to bounce back from its first conference loss of the year as it takes to the road for its first true Ivy League road trip this weekend. The Crimson will first face the Lions of Columbia on Friday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m. before taking on the Cornell Big Red on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. Both games can bee seen live on the Ivy League Digital Network.
Harvard has won eight of its last nine games against Columbia but split last year's season series after the Lions earned a 78-63 victory over the Crimson in New York.
• Harvard enters the weekend with an 18-4 overall record and is poised to reach the 20-win plateau for the fifth straight season. Penn was the last team to post five straight 20-win seasons, doing so a record six times from 1970-75.
• Kyle Casey, who on Friday became the fourth student-athlete in Crimson history to record 1,000 points, 600 rebounds and 100 blocks, swatted four shots on Saturday to match his career-high and tie Bill Mohler '88 for third place on Harvard's career blocks list (117).
• One night after holding Brown to just 27.3 percent (15-55) shooting, the second-lowest opponent shooting percentage under head coach Tommy Amaker, the Crimson allowed Yale to connect on 51.2 percent of its attempts from the field, the highest shooting percentage by an opponent this season.
Last Time Out
The Harvard men's basketball team saw its 20-game home win streak come to an end Saturday night as Yale downed the Crimson at a sold-out Lavietes Pavilion, 62-53.
Wesley Saunders paced Harvard offensively with 16 points, four assists and zero turnovers in 39 minutes. Brandyn Curry added 12 points and was 3-of-5 from three, as Siyani Chambers notched 10 points and three helpers. Harvard turned the ball over only nine times for the game, but shot just 39.0 percent (23-59) from the field and was 14-of-25 at the line.
Justin Sears and Armani Cotton each posted a double-double with Sears' 21-point, 10-rebound effort leading the way. Cotton turned in 13 points and 10 boards, as the Bulldogs held a 37-24 advantage on the glass. Yale shot 51.2 percent (22-43) on the night and connected on 24-of-29 attempts at the line.
Ivy League Digital Network
For the first time ever, all of Harvard's home games and road Ivy League contests which are not being televised will be streamed in HD quality featuring a live scoreboard, new graphics package and play-by-play commentary through the Ivy League Digital Network. Subscribers to the network can watch games both live and On-Demand on their computers, tablets or smart phones, and will have access to live and On-Demand content for all Harvard events throughout the duration of their subscription.
Follow Harvard Athletics on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stay connected with all the breaking news from around Cambridge and to get inside access to your favorite Crimson programs.
Rank and File
Harvard was listed as receiving votes in the Associated Press Top 25 each of the first 14 weeks of the season. The Crimson also received votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll in eight of the first 14 weeks. The Crimson last appeared in either poll the week of Feb. 6, 2012 when the AP had the squad ranked No. 25 and the coaches had it at No. 21.
AP Top 25
USA Today
RPI Watch
Harvard has consistently been among the nation's best in the RPI rankings, regardless of which service you follow.
Rank (as of Feb. 9)
Getting Off on the Right Foot
Harvard began Ivy League play with five straight wins, marking the third year in a row the Crimson has begun the conference slate 5-0 or better. The 2011-12 squad owns the program record for best start to the conference schedule at 7-0.
Home is Where the Wins Are
Harvard recently enjoyed a 20-game home win streak at Lavietes Pavilion which spanned from Dec. 1, 2012 to Feb. 7, 2014. At the time, the streak stood as the sixth-longest in the NCAA.
The program record for consecutive home wins stands at 28 games set between Feb. 19, 2010 and Feb. 24, 2012.
Making a Stand
Harvard's defense is shaping up to be one of the best ever under head coach Tommy Amaker. Opponents are scoring just 60.5 ppg, second best in the Amaker era, while shooting 40.9 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from beyond-the-arc, both the lowest totals under Amaker.
Harvard is 9-0 this season when holding opponents to fewer than 60 points, and is 8-0 when opponents shoot under 40.0 percent.
Protecting the Paint
Kyle Casey grabbed nine rebounds against Brown to join Brian Cusworth '07, Matt Stehle '06 and Keith Wright '12 as one of four players in Crimson history to record 1,000 points, 600 rebounds and 100 blocks. Casey currently ranks 18th in program history with 1,158 points, 11th with 613 rebounds and third with 117 blocks.
Pouring It On
Harvard scored at least 80 points in three straight games against Dartmouth, Princeton and Penn, marking the first time the team had done so since February of 2010. The Crimson has scored 80-plus points in at least four straight games nine times in program history, including in 1971-72 when it accomplished the feat six games in a row.
The Crimson averaged 80.7 ppg during this stretch while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor, 59.6 percent from three, and outscoring its opponents by 22.0 ppg.
All-Around Effort
Wesley Saunders' full arsenal of skills was on display against Princeton as the junior led the Crimson in points (24), rebounds (9), assists (7) and steals (3). Saunders shot 9-of-13 from the floor for his fifth 20-point performance of the year while notching his fifth game with five or more assists.
Saunders became the first individual to lead Harvard in points, rebounds, assists and steals since Jeremy Lin '10 did so on Dec. 30, 2009 against George Washington. Saunders has led Harvard in points, rebounds and assists three times in his career.
Stuffing the Stat Sheet
Wesley Saunders, a unanimous All-Ivy League first team selection a year ago, entered the weekend ranked in the Ancient Eight's top 10 in eight categories; scoring (6th, 14.8 ppg), assists (3rd, 3.8 apg), steals (1st, 2.0 spg), blocks (8th, 0.9 bpg), field goal percentage (10th, 49.2 pct.), free throw percentage (10th, 76.9 pct.), assist-to-turnover ratio (5th, 1.5), minutes (5th, 33.7 min.).
Top Shot
Laurent Rivard found his shooting touch against Princeton and Penn, making 11-of-17 attempts from deep to average 20.0 ppg for the weekend. Rivard matched his career-high with six makes against the Quakers, while his 11 combined three-pointers represented the highest total over two games of his career.
Rivard's 258 career three-pointers are the most in Harvard history and rank him fourth in Ivy League annals. Rivard also own's Harvard's single-season record, making 80 from long range in 2012-13.
They're On Fire
Harvard shot 71.4 percent (10-of-14) from beyond-the-arc at Dartmouth to set a school record for highest three-point percentage with a minimum of 10 attempts. The Crimson's 65.9 percent performance from the field, meanwhile, was the highest field goal percentage for Harvard under head coach Tommy Amaker.
Harvard won nine straight games overall between Nov. 28 and Jan. 4, the third longest win streak in program history. The Crimson enjoyed a program record 13-game win streak in 1945-46 en route to a 19-3 record and the team's first trip to the NCAA Tournament, and won 10 in-a-row in 1904-05 to finish with an 11-5 mark.
Born to Assist
Siyani Chambers, who entered the weekend ranked second in the Ivy League in assists (4.5), has dished out at least five assists nine times this season and has dropped eight dimes or more three times. The sophomore boasts 29 career games with five or more assists and has eight games of eight or more assists.
Players of the Week
Wesley Saunders (Dec. 3, Dec. 9, Jan. 6) and Siyani Chambers (Dec. 23, Dec. 30) have combined to earn five of the last six player of the week awards handed out by the Ivy League.
Saunders' eight career player of the week honors are the second most in league history, trailing only Princeton's Ian Hummer and Brown's Earl Hunt who own the all-time mark with nine. Saunders' latest accolade also tied him with Kyle Snowden '97 for the most by a member of the Crimson.
Chambers' two honors, meanwhile, were the first of his career after having been named the conference's rookie of the week six times last year.
Moving on Up
Head coach Tommy Amaker, who recently won his 300th career game, continues to move up the ranks of the Ivy League's winningest coaches. Amaker's 130 wins at Harvard are the 13th most in the Ancient Eight since the conference began competition in 1956, while his 59 Ivy League victories rank 16th.
Balanced Attack
Six members of the Crimson scored in double-digits against Fordham; Siyani Chambers (19 pts.), Kyle Casey (17 pts.), Agunwa Okolie (17 pts.), Wesley Saunders (14 pts.), Steve Moundou-Missi (11 pts.) and Laurent Rivard (10 pts.).
Shootout Champs
Harvard defeated Denver, Green Bay and TCU en route to winning the 2013 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. Wesley Saunders was named the tournament's most outstanding player after averaging 14.3 ppg, 8.0 rpg and 4.7 apg, and was joined on the all-tournament team by Siyani Chambers (10.3 ppg, 4.7 apg) and Steve Moundou-Missi (12.7 ppg, 8.3 rpg).
This marked the first tournament title for the Crimson since taking the inaugural Battle 4 Atlantis in 2011, and was the first Great Alaska Shootout title for Tommy Amaker after having also coached in the tournament with Seton Hall (head coach, 1997) and Duke (assistant coach, 1995).
Lock Down
The Crimson held TCU to just 25.0 percent (14-56) shooting in the Great Alaska Shootout championship game, marking the lowest opponent field goal percentage in the Tommy Amaker era. Harvard also limited Brown to 27.3 percent (15-55) shooting and MIT to 27.9 percent (12-43) this year, the second and third lowest totals under Amaker.
Block Party
Evan Cummins recorded six blocks against TCU, setting a new Great Alaska Shootout championship game record. The previous mark of five had been held by Sheldon Williams (Duke, 2003) and Keith Owens (UCLA, 1990).
Hoop And The Harm
Senior Laurent Rivard, who ranks first in program history with 258 career three-pointers, has been fouled 29 times while shooting from beyond the arc. Nine of those fouls have resulted in an and-one.
Join the Club
Seniors Kyle Casey and Laurent Rivard each eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau against Green Bay, bringing Harvard's total number of 1,000 point scorers to 30. Rivard currently ranks 17th in program history with 1,166 points while Casey is 18th with 1,158.
Grand Theft
Harvard recorded double-digit steals in four straight games from Nov. 12 - Nov. 24, matching the longest stretch of double-digit steal performances under head coach Tommy Amaker, and has come away with at least 10 steals in five contests this season.
Blown Out
Harvard picked up lopsided victories versus MIT (79-37) and Howard (76-44), marking the first time under head coach Tommy Amaker that the Crimson has won back-to-back games by 30-plus points. This also marked the first time since January of 2012 that Harvard had allowed fewer than 50 points in consecutive games.
D-ing Up
Harvard's home-opening 79-37 win versus MIT was highlighted by the Crimson's play at the defensive end, which resulted in several noteable statistics;
• Harvard's 42-point margin of victory was the second largest under head coach Tommy Amaker, behind only a 94-51 triumph against Daniel Webster on Dec. 28, 2008.
• The Crimson allowed just 37 points to MIT, marking the third time under head coach Tommy Amaker that an opponent has scored fewer than 40 points (most recent at Yale, 65-35, 1/27/12).
• The Engineers shot just 27.9 percent from the field, which at the time stood as the lowest opponent field goal percentage in the Amaker era.
• Harvard forced 29 MIT turnovers, the most for the Crimson under head coach Tommy Amaker.
• Harvard's 19 steals versus the Engineers were one shy of the program record of 20, which has been accomplished four times (most recent vs. Hartford, 1/30/01).

China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Jiang Yu, today denied having heard of Sydney-based Chinese author and blogger Yang Hengjun, according to The Associated Press. We reported yesterday that Yang was missing, presumed to be the latest high-profile writer to fall victim to the government's aggressive roundup of critics who might respond to online calls for a Chinese "Jasmine revolution." Concern for Yang deepened today, after reports emerged that he had called his sister in Guangzhou to say he had been detained. "Having a long chat with old friends" was the pre-arranged phrase they used, AP reported.
Jiang Yu's denial was odd, because international news reports said Yang used to work for the Foreign Ministry himself before retiring to work as a spy novelist and political commentator. But it was not the only important human rights violation the government has denied recently.
Jiang was also asked today to comment on the calls by the U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention to release Chinese lawyer Gao Zhisheng, according to international news reports. Gao represented several imprisoned journalists before he was himself given a suspended prison sentence for inciting subversion against the state in 2006, according to CPJ research. He disappeared for more than a year beginning in February 2009, reappearing briefly in March 2010 to say that he had been held incommunicado without charge, only to vanish yet again, according to an account by his wife, He Gang, in The New York Times on Sunday. He Gang recounts her husband's treatment at the hands of Chinese police:
In 2007, officials subjected him to electric shocks, held lighted cigarettes up to his eyes and pierced his genitals with toothpicks. In 2009, the police beat him with handguns for two days. He has been tied up and forced to sit motionless for hours, threatened with death and told that our children were having nervous breakdowns.
Jiang said she did not know the "specifics" of Gao's situation, the reports said. The Working Group cited violations of Chinese as well as international law in his continued detention and abuse in custody, according to international news reports. "We attach importance to cooperation with the U.N. human rights' monitoring mechanism and urge the mechanism to respect China's judicial sovereignty," Jiang Yu told journalists today, according to Agence France-Presse. "China is a country under the rule of law."
China's Foreign Ministry recently denied foreign journalists had been beaten and detained last month near the sites of the planned "Jasmine" protests, despite considerable evidence to the contrary, including video footage. "There is no such issue," Yang Jiechi, China's minister of foreign affairs, he said, when asked about the beatings. "China is a country under the rule of law. It abides by the law," Yang said, according to the state news agency Xinhua.
"The law is not a shield" for foreign journalists to hide behind, Jiang Yu was quoted as saying in a Wall Street Journal commentary by the Dui Hua Foundation's Joshua Rosenzweig.
Using flat denials and evoking "Chinese law" to deflect international criticism from the Chinese government is not a new tactic. But China's legal system does not allow for detentions without charge, any more than it does for attacks on the foreign press corps. The Foreign Ministry's refusal to acknowledge that the country's laws are being violated, made in terms that sanctify those laws, is hypocritical. Those whom the law should protect, including writers and journalists like Yang Hengjun, and those who could enforce that law, like Gao Zhisheng, are being punished. It is government officials, and not journalists, who are using the law to shield their oppressive actions from view.

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – UMBC softball used four home runs on Sunday afternoon to take down Hartford in a sweep of the America East doubleheader at Hartford Softball Field and help head coach Joe French to his 600th career softball victory. Sophomore utility player Danielle O'Neill (Lothian, Md./Southern) launched a pair of blasts on the day for a team-best four runs batted in, helping UMBC to defeat the Hawks, 7-5, in game one and, 5-4, in game two.
French earned his 800th career coaching victory earlier this season, having coached three collegiate sports during his career.
Junior catcher Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) and freshman outfielder Kelly Lane (Albany, N.Y./Colonie Central) each registered three hits on the day. Hall finished with a team-best three extra-base hits to enter into the top-10 in a single-season at UMBC in the category (25).
The Retrievers, who held the fourth and final playoff spot entering into the weekend, continue to battle for their first playoff appearance since 2011, improving to 30-17 on the season and 7-6 in America East action, while the Hawks fall to 7-27 overall and 1-13 in the conference.
Hartford jumped out in front 1-0 in game one with three singles in the bottom of the first inning, but the Retrievers were able to even the score with an unearned run from Lane in the top of the second inning. A solo home run to left field in the fourth from UMBC senior first baseman Chelsea Bertoglio (Laguna Hills, Calif./Laguna Hills/Saddleback College) put the Retrievers out in front 2-1 and back-to-back doubles from sophomore short stop Bridget O'Malley (Brooklyn, Md./Seton Keough) and Hall in the sixth further extended the lead to 3-1.
The Hawks led-off the bottom of the sixth with a walk and a stolen base from short stop Marisa Ferguson and followed with a single to right field from catcher Sawyer Fried to put runners on first and third. A stolen base for Fried setup a two-run single down the right field line from Margaret Betz and tied the game at three apiece.
UMBC junior outfielder Mary Hartman (Eldersburg, Md./Century) drilled her first of two doubles on the day with one out in the top of the seventh inning. O'Neill followed with her first home run of the day, a shot to left center field, to put the Retrievers back out in front, 5-3. O'Malley reached base for the third time in game one and Hall helped by adding UMBC's second home run of the frame to put the Retrievers on top, 7-3, and move into a tie for sixth on the program's single-season home run list (12).
Hartford's second baseman Amber Andrews brought the Hawks back within two, 7-5, with a two-run double to right center in the bottom of the seventh inning, but it was not enough to complete the comeback. UMBC starting pitcher Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee) moved into a tie for sixth on UMBC's single-season wins list with her 17th victory of the campaign. She allowed five earned runs on nine hits in her 19th complete-game of the year, tying for sixth on UMBC's single-season list.
O'Malley and Hall each finished two-for-three from the dish against Hartford starting pitcher Zuzana Kudernatschova. Kudernatschova threw the complete-game and surrendered six earned runs on nine hits and struck out six.
Hartford starter Kaitlyn Meade struggled with control early in game two, walking four of the first five batters of the game. A single to right center from Lane scored a pair of runs in the top of the first inning. Hartman led-off the second with a double and O'Neill followed with her second home run of the day, this one to center field. Three more walks cued the exit of Mead, but a single from Bertoglio off of reliever Lexi Wilkerson extended the advantage to 5-0 in favor of the Retrievers.
Two of the Hawks' three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning were unearned, but brought Hartford back within two, 5-3. An RBI-groundout from Andrews in the bottom of the seventh made it a one-run ball game, but UMBC starter Nicole Casagrand (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) held off the Hawks with the final out of the contest. Casagrand threw the complete-game victory to improve to 6-3 on the year. She allowed two earned runs on eight hits.
The series concludes on Monday, April 28 with a single game at 11 a.m. at the Hartford Softball Field.

Mystic streetscape inching toward completion
Mystic - Nearly four months after its scheduled completion date, there were clear signs Wednesday that an end is in sight for the downtown Mystic streetscape project.
Connecticut Light & Power arrived early Wednesday morning to remove five utility poles from West Main Street, a major element in the $3.6 million portion of the project that includes underground utilities along the length of the historic downtown area. The road is already repaved with new granite curbs, sidewalks and sitting areas.
But the work is not quite done.
More poles await removal in the coming weeks, and Pettini Contracting Corp. has yet to complete finishing work that includes handrails, street furnishings and landscaping - some of which was expected to start this week but hasn't, said project manager Rick Norris, a town employee.
"We'd like to get it completed and be out of downtown as soon as possible," said Norris from his temporary office behind a block of downtown storefronts.
"We've been imposing longer on the village than we intended to," Norris said. "Merchants by and large have been supportive. But I know it is frustrating."
While Norris acknowledges unforeseen delays to the project, he said Pettini could be subject to "liquidated damages," such as fines of up to $500 a day for work done beyond the June 30 completion date written into the contract. Pettini has been the target of some frustrations of downtown merchants who have watched work crews outside their storefronts intermittently for the past two years.
Jack Steel, who has operated The Company of Craftsmen from the same location in downtown for more than three decades, said the town simply picked the wrong contractor.
As much as Pettini has been helpful in working with merchants to keep businesses open, the sheer length of time it has taken has hurt business, he said. He was upbeat, however, on Wednesday as he watched utility poles disappear.
"It looks fantastic," Steel said.
Mystic Chamber of Commerce President Tricia Cunningham said merchants are anxious for completion of the project, as are local residents.
"The big thing is the traffic woes have pretty much come to a close," Cunningham said. "We're very excited. The traffic did keep many locals from visiting downtown."
Cunningham said that without the utility wires, the downtown area has taken on a cleaner, more quaint look.
Bank Square Books owner Patience Banister agreed.
"It's nice to see the project coming to an end," she said.
Norris said once the poles are removed, the holes left in the concrete sidewalks will need to be filled. Poles holding bridge signals will remain until the completion of the drawbridge repairs.
Town Manager Mark Oefinger said there is a penalty clause in the contract with Pettini but said completion of work and final paperwork on the projects is weeks, if not months, off.
"There are quite a few items that need to be dealt with before we close out the project," Oefinger said. "The focus is to get that stuff done."
Oefinger said 95 percent of the work to bury utilities has been done for a while and some wrangling with the utility companies has led to delays in the removal of the poles.
"This has been long awaited. The poles coming down to me is the icing on the cake. Personally, I think downtown Mystic looks fantastic. The work will serve us well for the next 50 plus years."
A representative from Pettini could not be reached for comment.

Cardinals see season end with 18-point loss at McNeese
LAKE CHARLES, La. - Lamar University needed a win at McNeese State on Saturday to earn a berth into the 2011 State Farm Southland Conference Basketball Tournament, but the Cardinals came up short in a 92-74 loss to the Cowboys at Burton Coliseum.
The Cardinals finish the 2010-11 season with a 13-17 overall record and 7-9 SLC mark. McNeese State earned at least a share of the conference title, and locked up the No. 1 seed into the tournament, with a 19-10 overall record and an 11-5 SLC record.
The Cowboys, who were playing for the conference title, came out inspired and opened a 15-point lead at 28-13 just seven and a half minutes into the contest. Lamar rallied to cut the deficit down before the half, trailing 48-40 at the break.
LU senior Kendrick Harris buried a 3-pointer with 14:44 to play that brought the Cardinals to within four points at 54-40. McNeese responded with an 8-0 run to open a 12-point lead that finally came to an end when Anthony Miles hit a jumper to make it 62-52.
"Our defense stopped them. We didn't come up with enough rebounds and we didn't score during that period of time where I think we could've taken a lead right there and maybe turned the game," said head coach Steve Roccaforte. "We cut it to four, but we couldn't cut it any deeper."
The Cardinals made one final push as junior Devon Lamb converted a four-point play with 11:10 to play that pulled Lamar to with seven at 63-56. Lamb, who finished with his ninth double-double of the year with 18 points and 12 rebounds, knocked down a triple from the corner and added the free throw after being fouled by McNeese's Daniel Richard.
Over the next three minutes, the Cowboys would use a 12-2 run to build a 17-point lead. A Mike James dunk got the Cardinals to within nine with 5:35 to play, but they would get no closer.
The Cardinals made just one less field goal than McNeese (30-29), but were just 5-of-26 from 3-point range. The Cowboys also enjoyed a huge advantage from the free throw line, making 25-of-30 to the Cardinals' 11-of-21.
"We took the attitude that if we win we're in," said Roccaforte, who just completed his fifth season. "We wanted to push the tempo by using two separate units, but we just didn't make enough shots to go into our full-court press."
Lamar did grab 21 offensive rebounds to build a 24-11 advantage on second chance points.
Three other Cardinals joined Lamar in double-digit scoring as senior Coy Custer and Miles each finished with 11 points and Orlando Brazier added 10 off the bench. James, the Cards' leading scorer coming into the game at 12.7 ppg, finished with just seven on 3-of-13 shooting.
Senior center P.J. Alawoya had a huge day for the Cowboys with 20 points and 16 rebounds. Patrick Richard and C.J. Collins added 19 each.

Former Yankee Chuck Knoblauch charged with assaulting ex-wife
HOUSTON >> Former baseball star Chuck Knoblauch has been charged with misdemeanor assault after authorities in Houston say he hit and pushed his ex-wife.
Knoblauch has been released on $10,000 bond. His first court date is set for July 30. The four-time All-Star previously served a year of probation after being convicted of hitting his previous wife in 2010.
Knoblauch played for the Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals during a 12-year career.
He was set to be inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame in August. The Twins issued a statement Thursday saying that "in light of recent news reports surrounding Chuck Knoblauch, as well as direct communication" with Knoblauch, they have decided to cancel the Aug. 23 ceremony.

Welcome to the University of Sussex's Making the Future campaign.
Launched in 2011, during our 50th Anniversary celebrations, Making the Future is Sussex's first major fundraising campaign and an opportunity for the Sussex community to come together to support the three most important areas of the University – our people, programmes and places.
Our vision for the future is to work with our friends to make a step change, achieving a margin of excellence that will be the difference between continued progress and complete transformation. We aim to raise £50 million by 2016 and thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends of the University, over 75 percent of the target has already been achieved.
Making a positive impact
No matter how much you can give, your support will have an impact on the University and society. Philanthropy is already transforming the work we do, from enhancing our scholarships programme and improving the student experience to enabling us to establish new interdisciplinary research centres such as in adoption research and practice, consciousness science and Middle Eastern studies.
As a charity, and with only a third of our annual income now coming from the Government, it is vital that we demonstrate the impact we are having on issues of local and global importance and look for ways that the whole Sussex community, including alumni, staff and friends, can support what we do.
We are grateful to the many individuals, businesses, and charitable trusts and foundations who have supported the Campaign so far.
On this website, you can watch a film about the Campaign, read more about our three priority areas and find out how to support us.
If you have any questions, please contact the Development and Alumni Relations Office on +44 (0)1273 678258 or firstname.lastname@example.com .
