TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes will join Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson on the disabled list for the start of the season.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes will join Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson on the disabled list for the start of the season.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi announced the decision Wednesday after watching Hughes pitch in his second minor league exhibition game since returning from a bulging disk in his upper back.
Hughes is expected to miss his first turn through the rotation, which means that fifth starter candidates Ivan Nova and David Phelps are both likely to begin the season in the rotation.
"I think so," Girardi said.
The Yanks open at home Monday against Boston. Hughes is slated to pitch in a minor league game that day.
"I'm happy with where he's at today," Girardi said. "He'll have another one down here and we'll see where he's at."
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he doesn't expect Jeter, who continues to get treatment for soreness in his left ankle, will play in a minor league game through this weekend.
"We're going to give him a few days to calm down, so we'll back off completely," Cashman said. "Eliminate the pain he had when this occurred."
Cashman said there is no timetable for Jeter's return. The team captain broke the ankle, which required surgery, in the opener of the AL championship series.
"I know we'll get him back," Cashman said. "I can't tell you what that date will be."
Hughes gave up five hits and struck out four over five shutout innings against Toronto Class A players. He threw 81 pitches, including 53 strikes.
"I felt better in the beginning than I did towards the end, but I got through it all right," Hughes said. "Got the pitch count up and now it's just matter of continuing to build on that, and be ready to go. I think I'm close."
Nova struggled in his minor league game, giving up seven runs and eight hits — including two homers — over five-plus innings against Blue Jays' prospects. The right-hander said he wasn't happy with his exhibition season overall.
"I don't think he pitched as well as we'd like him to, but a lot of times that doesn't make a difference as long as his stamina is there and he's built up strength-wise, pitch-wise and things like that," Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said.
Girardi said Teixeira (wrist), who is fielding grounders and swinging a bat one-handed, will be re-examined next week. Granderson (forearm) has started catching flyballs during batting practice.
The Yankees are hopeful that both could rejoin the team in May.
Rodriguez may be back in July.
NOTES: 2B Robinson Cano was scratched from Wednesday night's game against Baltimore because of a stomach bug. ... Cashman said a decision on 1B Lyle Overbay's status should made after Thursday's game. Overbay was signed to a minor league contract Tuesday hours after being released by Boston. ... The Yankees claimed RHP Sam Demel off waivers from Houston. The reliever made five spring training appearances for the Astros this year, allowing 11 earned runs in 2 1-3 innings. ... To make room on the 40-man roster for Demel, the Yankees designated RHP Danny Otero for assignment.

So I'm formulating my goals and plans for 2011 and there's one thing I'd like to accomplish but am going to need a bit of help with. I'd like to learn to think more clearly and logically, if that's at all possible.
I've been out of the religious BS for nearly ten years now but I still find it hard to think through various arguments from theists, take them apart and refute them (which I see happening here to great effect). Obviously, this is only one use of 'clear thinking' but it's the one that's been on my mind the most lately.
My first thought was to ask for book recommendations but that might be too limited. There could be films, courses, exercises, groups (Toastmasters?) or lots of other resources out there that hadn't occurred to me. So, do any of you atheist thinkers have any guidance to offer? Anything at all... I'll throw it against the wall and see what sticks.

Cars for sale by Mileage Range
Fun Fact: Did you know there are approximately 1 Billion Cars in use around the world and that approximately 12 Million vehicles are registered right here in South Africa.
Autodealer currently has 725 used cars for sale in Durban KwaZulu-Natal for you to choose from, and simplify searching for a pre loved car in Durban by allowing you to narrow your search to specify the type of second hand car you are interested in when using the search dropdown menus.
Once you have narrowed your search and short listed the used cars you are interested in, visit the Durban dealerships, or make an appointment with the private seller to inspect the pre-loved cars.
Some tips to follow when inspecting a second hand car you are interested in buying; Have the car mechanically inspected, if you're not comfortable doing so yourself, take someone with you, who knows about mechanics or alternatively have the car inspected at a workshop.
Ask to see the service book if it's not in the cubbyhole of the vehicle and inspect it for any discrepancies, the general rule is that any car should be serviced at least once a year or every 10 000Km to 15 000Km.
Then, inspect the body, make sure to inspect every panel and look for signs of overspray and that the colours of the panels match. Keep in mind that front bumpers and bonnets are often resprayed due to stone chips but look for signs of repairs inside the bonnet as those are a possible give away that the second hand car you are interested in was involved in an accident. Common repairs and replacements to look out for are broken headlight clips or recently replaced headlight units, you will notice if the headlight unit's plastic looks much newer than what is to be expected of a second hand car, other replacements to look out for are a recently replaced radiator.
When inspecting the inside of the used car, remember to test everything, adjust the seat so it is comfortable for you, test the front and back electric windows, if applicable, and adjust the rear-view mirror. Also remember to test the aircon when you take the second hand car on a test drive and keep the radio switched off on the test drive so you can listen for any unusual noises that could indicate problems or repairs needed.
It is also a good idea to ask the sales executive for a list of known defects as the Consumer Protection Act requires a used car dealer to declare any known defect of a used car to a potential buyer.

Lions Take Control Of Game In Second Half And Hold On For Win
NEW YORK, N.Y. — The Yale University women's basketball team turned up the offensive effort in the second half on Friday to power past Cornell. On Saturday, the tables were turned on the Bulldogs.
Four players scored in double figures in leading Columbia to a 67-57 win in Ivy League action Saturday night at Levien Gymnasium on the Columbia University campus.
Melissa Shafer came off the bench to lead the Lions (5-15, 4-2 Ivy League) with 14 points. Brianna Orlich led the starters with 13 points and four assists. Kathleen Barry had 12 points and eight rebounds, while Taylor Ball added 10 points.
Sophomore guard Megan Vasquez scored 17 points and tallied four steals to lead Yale (8-12, 4-2). Sophomore guard Allie Messimer came off the bench to pour in 12 points, while junior forward Michelle Cashen added 10 points and five rebounds.
Trailing 22-17 after Barry hit a short jumper with 9:20 left in the first half, Yale's defense kicked in and shut the Columbia offense down for a 6:00 span when Orlich drained a 3-pointer at 3:20 to get the Lions back on track. During that defensive stand, the Bulldogs were able to get their offense rolling, using a 12-0 run to turn a five-point deficit into a 29-22 lead. Messimer scored five points to fuel the run and senior captain Yoyo Greenfield drained a 3-pointer with 5:53 left in the half to score her first points since returning Friday from a 13-game absence due to a concussion.
However, when Orlich drained that 3-pointer, it kickstarted an 11-0 run that put Columbia back on top. The Lions outscored the Bulldogs 13-3 over the final 3:19 of the half to go into the halftime break leading 35-32. Vasquez drained a 3-pointer with 37 seconds left for Yale's only points in that stretch.
Columbia held Yale to just one field goal in the first 6:20 of the second half while putting together an 11-3 run to open the half, which gave the Lions a 46-35 lead and effectively put the game out of reach. Yale trimmed the deficit to 52-48 on a 3-pointer from Messimer with 8:08 left but Columbia responded with an 11-2 run to take a 63-50 lead with 1:46 left, securing the victory.
Yale is off until next weekend when it returns home to take on Harvard and Dartmouth. The Bulldogs play host to the Crimson on Friday and the Big Green on Saturday. The tip off for both games is scheduled for 7 p.m. in John J. Lee Amphitheater.

The University of Mary Washington men's lacrosse team broke open a tight contest by outscoring Frostburg State University, 4-0, in the fourth quarter to top the Bobcats, 11-6, on Wednesday in a rematch of the teams from a week ago. The Eagles improve to 9-6 on the season and advance to the CAC Semifinal on Saturday at Salisbury University.
Unlike in last week's Frostburg win in which the Bobcats ran out to a 7-1 lead, UMW jumped ahead in this meeting, as senior Sean Dacey put UMW ahead with 9:33 remaining. The Bobcats tied the score with 4:10 remaining, but Billy Kelly put the Eagles back out in front with 3:01 remaining, and scored again with nine seconds left in the quarter to put UMW up, 3-1, after one.
Johnny Esposito ran the lead to 4-1 with 11:42 in the second, but FSU scored a minute later to cut the deficit to 4-2. After the Bobcats cut the deficit to 4-3, John Bohlinger scored on a Joey Marson assist to give UMW a 5-3 lead. Kelly scored man-up on a Dacey feed with 21 seconds left to give the Eagles a 6-3 edge at intermission.
Charlie Webb gave the Eagles a quick score to open the third, just 14 seconds into the quarter. The Bobcats rallied for three straight goals to close the third to cut the deficit to 7-6 entering the fourth quarter.
In the fourth, the Eagles reeled off four scores while holding FSU scoreless. Paul Tunick scored with 11:52 remaining, and Josh Furnary scored on a Kelly assist with 5:28 left. Kelly scored on a Luke Dick assist with 4:05 left, and Marson capped the scoring with 1:31 remaining.
The Eagles blistered the Bobcats for 51 shots, while FSU had 37. The Eagles forced the Bobcats into 19 turnovers, and senior goalie Kyle Davitt made 16 saves. Davitt, Dick, and Travis Peed each had five ground balls for UMW.
The Eagles will visit top-seeded Salisbury University on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. in the semifinal round of the tournament.

It's simple…Clean Air is Better!
Nine years ago, John & Matt Baumgartner, entrepreneurial spirits from Olivia, MN began working with some 'gee whiz' technology now called EPI Air. That's short for air quality improved through electrostatic particle ionization. It refers to air-scrubbing by negatively charged ions that clear the air of dust, harmful gases and pathogens.
After several trips back to the drawing board, EPI Air is now accepted by the livestock industry as a robust, user friendly technology poised to change the way confinement livestock producers manage air quality for their livestock.
Now forward move to the most vertically integrated livestock industry in America…the Broiler industry. Check these numbers: In 1950 this young industry produced 1.381 billion lbs. of ready-to-eat- broiler meat. By 2000, that number had exploded to 30.209 billion lbs. For 2014, the estimate from the U.S. Broiler Council is 38.040 billion lbs.
So might this intensely concentrated industry have a need for cleaner air? "You bet", thought the Baumgartner team. However to verify they, along with Gro Master, the major distributor for EPI Air, asked key broiler industry players what they thought. "Indeed, indeed", was their collective response; cleaner air is even more important now because the broiler industry is in the midst of switching to antibiotic-free production practices.
Industry integrators directed the Baumgartner team to the UGA Department of Poultry Science.
Bottom line: the world's foremost experts in basic ionization technology have been assembled to measure the impact of EPI Air on a modern broiler production house. And now some eggs have hatched!
As of December 9th, about 28,000 newly hatched chicks in each of two 50' x 500' Georgia broiler houses are spending the next 49 days under the influence of EPI-Air. Broiler birds grow fast…49 days from 8-ounce peeps to 6 lb. broilers.
Their objectives:
- Evaluation of the EPI-Air electrostatic space charge system on broiler performance and house environment. That includes bird growth, bird water consumption, and bird mortalities.
With very specific instruments they will be monitoring:
|· Particulate concentrations
|· Bird growth
|· Ammonia concentration
|· Bird water consumption
|· Salmonella
|· Airsacculitis
|· Campylobacter
|· Bronchitis challenge
Commented Matt Baumgartner, BEI General Manager, "This is the most comprehensive broiler test protocol EPI-Air has ever been a part of. We have total respect for these trials. Favorable results can have a tremendous impact on the industry. We're told that condemnations cost the U.S. broiler industry about $6 million a week."
"If our system significantly reduces air pollution and thus reduces inflammation of the air sacs within these birds, there could be significant reductions in condemnations. Even a small improvement could save the industry a lot of money."
The industry is very much aware of growing consumer resistance towards meat products from antibiotic treated sources, thus the move away from systematic antibiotic use. And fewer birds per house (reduced stocking densities necessary to maintain flock health) immediately add to costs per bird produced and does negative things to ROI data (Return on Investment).
Summed up John Baumgartner, "EPI-Air is intriguing because it can improve bird performance and health naturally, meeting consumer demand for antibiotic-free production. Based on all the data we have accumulated from the swine industry, plus data from independent testing carried out by the British Columbia poultry industry (In conjunction with the University of British Columbia), we're confident cleaner air for these broilers will significantly improve bird health and production."
"The net result should be improved ROI. As an example, the British Columbia, Canada study generated a 3 point improvement in feed conversion over a 10-cycle test in 20,000 broiler capacity houses. Throw in a significant reduction in condemnations, ammonia, as well as pathogen load in the air and this could be game changing."
Operational costs of EPI-Air are minimal… in a 50' x 500' broiler house the operating cost is about the same as the cost of lighting two 100-watt bulbs. EPI Air is easy to use, too; it is low maintenance and durable.
Today the broiler industry is prospering. Thanks to cheaper feed costs and a continually growing public appetite, it may get even better. Consumption of broiler and chicken meat is now 100 lbs./capita/ year, essentially the equal of red meat consumption. Also poultry exports keep growing. However, the growing consumer demand for antibiotic free broilers could emerge as the biggest overall factor in this new technology.
Note that 2014 is the 50th anniversary of the first Buffalo Wing. The Anchor Bar, Buffalo, New York is where this savory concoction first was served. According to the National Chicken Council 2014 Wing Report, 1.25 billion wings will be devoured during Super Bowl XLVIII. That is about 20 million more wings than were consumed during last year's Super Bowl. The NCC estimated 4% more chickens (not broilers) were produced in 2014 than the previous year.

Wind power is an alternative method of producing electricity. Large wind turbines are erected in areas that have a relatively constant wind source. Wind moving across the surface of the earth strikes the turbine blades and creates thrust or force. The angled blades turn in the wind and spin a shaft that runs through a generator. The generator has an iron core surrounded by copper coils. The turning of the shaft in the generator produces an electrical current.
Thus, wind turbines are similar to hydroelectric generators installed in large dams on major rivers; they convert kinetic (motion) energy into electrical energy. Wind power is known as a renewable energy source, because the wind is not depleted when electricity is generated from it. It is also a clean source of energy, as the turbines produce no emissions into the atmosphere.
For safe operation of the large turbines, when winds get too strong, they can shut off automatically. Most wind turbines shut off at 45 miles per hour.
Like all energy sources, wind power does affect the environment. Wind turbines take up a lot of space, and can impact some species of wildlife, including bats and birds. Since the bat is restricted in range, turbine complexes should be placed away from caves that the bats use. Prairie-chicken habitat can also be affected by wind turbines. Prairie-chickens avoid tall objects including wind turbines and power lines, which is one reason why some wind power companies are involved in a number of programs to preserve and expand wildlife habitat as further development of renewable wind energy proceeds.

4BETTER OR WORSE- The week in review
Biggest mystery: Virginia State Police conclude their investigation of the October 20 shooting of Elvis Shifflett by two Charlottesville cops– but authorities still won't say whether Shifflett had a gun or reveal the specific circumstances of the shooting, according to a Rob Seal story in the Daily Progress. Shifflett was hit in the neck, chest and upper arm, say his family.
Longest sexual assault sentence: Joseph E. Osbourne, 43, who forced his way into a Pantops Mountain-area home April 7 while high on crack and attempted to assault a 13-year-old girl, earns a 30-year sentence for the B&E, abduction, and attempted sodomy.
Most alleged pervs in one week: Osbourne, Charlottesville music teacher Jonathan Spivey, and porn pastor Gregory Briehl, who is indicted on 20 counts of possessing child porn December 4, all make court appearances.
Worst plane crash: VCU oncologist Christopher Desch dies December 10 just east of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport in a likely engine-trouble-based crash witnessed by a Pegasus crew.
Most irate neighbor: Machete-wielding Jose Alvin Cruz Pineda, 37, bursts into the apartment below him at 1304 E. Market St., where an all-night party is still going on at 7:30am December 10, reports the DP. Cruz Pineda is charged with felony assault for allegedly hitting his neighbor on the head with the machete handle. The victim refuses medical treatment.
Worst crime wave: The Hessian Hills area has been hit with 14 burglaries, 12 larcenies from cars, and one stolen auto in the past three months– and no suspects, the Newsplex reports.
Biggest donation: The Curry School of Education gets $5 million from BET co-founder Sheila Johnson December 6.
Last early-decision options: UVA sends out 973 offers to become part of the class of 2011 before ditching its binding early-decision program in hopes of attracting more lower-income applicants.
Biggest literary discovery: Robert Dowling, a Central Connecticut State U assistant English professor, finds an unpublished short story by playwright Eugene O'Neill, "The Screenews of War," in UVA's Barrett Library, where it had been catalogued for 45 years.
Biggest turnaround: Four years ago, the Virginia ABC wanted to yank Foxfield's license because the event was a hotbed of underage drinking and public drunkenness. In 2006, the Foxfield Races Coalition, which includes the ABC and Albemarle County Police Department, receives an award from an organization called the National Liquor Law Enforcement Agency.
Next biggest turnaround: Albemarle Board of Supervisors has always resisted joining the Thomas Jefferson Partnership for Economic Development– until this year. On December 6, the supes also vote to join the Chamber of Commerce because county exec Bob Tucker lost his ex-officio seat on the Chamber board, according to Charlottesville Tomorrow. And they approve a $250,000 line item for economic development 4-2, with Sally Thomas and Dennis Rooker voting nay.
Best get for Greene: Video Gaming Technologies is moving to the Technicolor plant early next year and will hire at least 80 high-tech workers, according to Brian McNeill in the Progress.
Greenest school: The Charlottesville Waldorf Foundation picks up an award from Dwell magazine called the "Nice Modernist Award" for its plans to build a sustainable, affordable school with its $6.1 million capital campaign. (See On Architecture, page XX.)
Newest Albemarle historical landmarks: Bel Aire, the 1825 home of James Michie on Dickerson Road, and the Gothic Revival Mechum River Farm on Burchs Creek Road join the Virginia Landmarks Register December 6.

What Can you do to gain size and strength when you buy testosterone
If you are planning to take up steroids, you must be guided by a few important facts. Foremost, it must be understood that Testosterone/steroids that are fundamentally used to gain muscle and overall mass causes numerous side effects. However if you decide to buy Testosterone or something similar you will be making a better deal to avert the side effects which can be significant. Physicians and consultants recommend to buy testosterone due to its sustained release mechanism that averts side effects to a great extent.
Sustained release reduces side effects
If you are planning to buy testosterone as your steroid supplement, you are likely to benefit most due to its sustained release mechanism. First, sustained release will help you maintain a consistent concentration of in your blood for a longer time which ensures longer and sustained effect of the drug. This is complemented by the fact that sustained release ensures stable blood level in the individual while a multiple dose regimen destabilizes the blood level with immediate release drugs. This is further followed by side effects and lesser therapeutic effect of the drug itself. It is also observed that people who buy testosterone have better drug compliance. Testosterone Blend 600 UK Since the most preferred and common dosage of is recommended on a weekly basis, aspirants are less likely to miss their dosage.
Consultants who suggest to buy testosterone, favor the drug because it is one of the most common form of androgenic as well as anabolic supplement that helps body builders to gain muscles in a short span of time. also helps in correcting anomalies that are resulted due to hormonal imbalances. A popular research journal published in 'The journal of clinical endocrinology and Metabolism' authored by JS Tenover cites effect of among 13 men aged between 57-76 years. These men had low serum levels in their blood and were given weekly supplements of for 3 months. The men have shown increased level of serum levels in their blood and reported enhanced libido and strength.
But side effects do occur
Instead of the associated benefits of sustained release and probability of aversion of side effects, testosterone of any kind is likely to demonstrate harmful effects and so is as well. If you buy sodium and use them, some of the major disorders that have high chances to appear can be appearance of female sexual characteristics in men such as gynecomastia, development of clitoris etc. also creates major physiological disorders such as liver dysfunction and other hormone related functions. It is thus advisable that a professional be consulted before you opt to buy testosterone.

As I write this I am currently on a flight from LA to NYC on my way home from shooting the Musink tattoo convention and music festival in Orange County, CA. I was out there working for Sailor Jerry and having some fun along the way. Sailor Jerry once again set up a trailer to tattoo bands, promote the brand and host some serious games of corn hole. Dan Smith was doing the tattoos all weekend and tattooed bands like New Found Glory, Bayside, Paramore, Against Me and a bunch of others.
I personally had a lot more fun than I expected. I am not a huge pop punk fan and was not exactly excited to see bands like Yellowcard bastardize the punk rock I hold so dear to my heart, but across the board the bands were a lot better live than I expected. Even Yellowcard put on a pretty damn good show. New Found Glory and Alkaline Trio really proved why they were the headliners of the two days of the festival I attended putting on some pretty fantastic shows. I don't think I am gonna go home and buy their records but I was glad I got to see them do their thing.
I didn't spend a lot of time inside the tattoo convention part of the festival as I had to stick around the Sailor Jerry airstream for the most part, but I did get to make a few rounds and saw some amazing work done. My favorite had to be a Steve Jobs leg tattoo that I think won one of the tattoo contests. There were also an unreasonable amount of hot girls at the tattoo convention so that was a reason to venture inside to the air conditioned part of Musink.
One last thing I should mention about this festival is that Hayley Williams and Taylor York from Paramore showed up to watch Hayley's boyfriend from New Found Glory play. I shot a couple of pictures of them and then Taylor came back and got a Sailor Jerry tattoo from Dan on Sunday. I posted a few of those pictures on my Tumblr and it was as if the internet exploded. Evidently there are like 2000 Twitter accounts dedicated to Paramore. It is sort of insane. So if you came here from one of these Paramore Tumblrs (Hayley herself posted one of my pics on her Tumblr) looking for more pictures you are in luck. There are a couple more pics of Hayley and a bunch more of Taylor getting tattooed.
Anyway, I am gonna get back to flying in this airplane now. I will see you guys on the ground.

Second Circuit Victory for Richard Prince and Appropriation Art
By Julie Ahrens on April 25, 2013 at 6:12 pm
Today the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a long-awaited decision in favor of fair use in Cariou v. Prince. Reversing the district court's finding of infringement, the Court held that Richard Prince's use of Patrick Cariou's photographs in 25 of his 30 Canal Series paintings was a fair use. The decision affirms an important tradition in modern art that relies on the appropriation of existing images to create highly expressive works with new meaning.
Stop Censorship: The Problems With SOPA
By Julie Ahrens on November 16, 2011 at 3:13 pm
Today Congress held hearings on the latest IP legislation, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). We are taking part in American Censorship Day to help spread the word and stop this bill. We've outlined five of the most important problems with SOPA.
1. SOPA violates due process. Under SOPA, any private copyright or trademark owner can cut-off advertising and payments to any website by alleging that the operator "avoid[ed] confirming a high probability" that "a portion" of its site is being used to infringe copyrights. Advertisers and payment companies (e.g. Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal) are then required to stop doing business with that site. It seems likely that content owners (or people merely claiming to be content owners) will often succeed in shutting down websites without ever going to court. The proposed legislation also gives the Attorney General and the Justice Department the power to shut down websites before they are actually judged infringing. Courts will be able to order any Internet service provider to stop recognizing an accused site immediately upon application by the Attorney General, after an ex parte hearing. By failing to guarantee the challenged websites notice or an opportunity to be heard in court before their sites are shutdown, SOPA violates due process. Read more: Letter to Congress from over 100 law professors techdirt explains that SOPA would create the Great Firewall of America.
Sony v. Tenenbaum: Amicus Brief Urges Due Process Review of Copyright Damages Awards
By Julie Ahrens on January 5, 2011 at 1:25 pm
On Monday we filed an amicus brief on behalf of the Electronic Frontier Foundation in the Sony v. Tenenbaum case, pending in in the First Circuit Court of Appeals. Tenebaum was sued and found liable for copyright infringement for sharing 30 music files. The jury awarded the record label plaintiffs $675,000 in damages. The District Court reduced that award to $67,500, citing constitutional and fairness concerns.
BT Wins Again: Second Circuit Affirms Summary Judgment and $175,000 Fee Award
By Julie Ahrens on November 14, 2009 at 1:23 pm
After years of litigation based on spurious allegations of copyright infringement, BT was vindicated again this week when the Second Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of the case on summary judgment and the award of $175,000 in attorneys' fees to BT.
Court Denies Savage's Motion to Dismiss
By Julie Ahrens on May 8, 2009 at 9:56 am
Michael Savage's motion to be dismissed as a defendant in Brave New Films' wrongful DMCA takedown lawsuit was denied by Judge Illston on April 15. As explained in earlier posts, Original Talk Radio Network, the national syndicator of Savage's radio show, sent a takedown notice to YouTube demanding that YouTube remove BNF's video "Michael Savage Hates Muslims." BNF's video uses audio clips of The Michael Savage Show to criticize Savage's overtly hostile, anti-Muslim views.
Lang v. Morris
Sarah Morris is a well-known multimedia artist and filmmaker. In 2007, she debuted her "Origami" series, 24 paintings in which she reworked, redesigned, and reshaped origami crease patterns on canvas. Several origami artists sued Morris for copyright infringement, arguing Morris had unduly appropriated their allegedly copyrightable origami crease patterns in developing the "Origami" series. The Fair Use Project teamed up with attorneys Bob Clarida and Donn Zaretsky to defend Morris. We briefed the fair use issues on summary judgment.
Associated Press v. Meltwater
Meltwater News ("Meltwater") is a search engine and research tool that allows users to search for and obtain information about news items that have been made publicly available on the Internet.
Cariou v. Prince
We filed an amicus brief in the Second Circuit on behalf of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts urging the appeals court to reverse a district court decision that ignored established fair use principles that many artists rely upon in creating their work.
Golan v. Holder
The FUP filed this suit on behalf of a University of Denver conductor and others, challenging Congress's restoration of copyright to works that had entered the public domain.
Sony v. Tenenbaum
We filed an amicus brief on behalf of the Electronic Frontier Foundation asking the First Circuit to affirm the district court's reduced damages award in Sony v. Tenenbaum, a file-sharing case in which a jury originally ordered a college student to pay $675,000 for infringing copyright in 30 songs.
Google's triumph advances transformative use of copyrighted work
On Nov. 14, a New York federal court judge ruled to uphold Google's ambitious project to scan and digitize millions of books from cooperating libraries into a massive, searchable online database. This was a victory not only for Google but also for the greater public good. Judge Denny Chin dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought by authors, finding that Google's copying and indexing of more than 20 million books to create a new, highly useful search tool is protected by fair use.
AP v. Meltwater Amicus Brief
The Fair Use Project filed an amicus brief on behalf of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Public Knowledge in AP v. Meltwater.

Library Ruling A Good Sign For Google In Next Book Case
""The idea that you're going to get an injunction and a finding of infringement based on speculation of security harms without any actual facts to support that concern, the court showed it has no reason to accept it," said Julie Ahrens, director of copyright and fair use at Stanford Law School's Center for the Internet and Society."
CrossFit's Sour Sense of Humor
"But CrossFit could face an uphill battle proving that the videos violate their copyright, said Julie Ahrens, director of Copyright and Fair Use at Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society. Commentary and criticism enjoys legal protection as free speech—known as "fair use"—even if that might mean using a copy of someone else's video. It depends partly on whether someone is adding to the video to give it a different meaning, or if, for example, they were just copying it to sell their own workout video.
How the Government Can Improve Tech: Stop Reinventing Intellectual Property
"You need this for different programs to work together, said Julie Ahrens, director of Copyright and Fair Use at Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society: "It's almost like the alphabet or vocabulary.""
Google, Viacom settle suit over YouTube
""They (Viacom) see it as a useful way to monetize their content," said Julie Ahrens, director of copyright and fair use at Stanford University's Center for Internet and Society. "They don't control every copy of songs, movies or clips that get put up on YouTube, but if a user puts it up, they can say, 'OK, we know it's there and we're OK with it.' ""
Google ordered to take down YouTube anti-Muslim video
""The idea that copyright is a tool that's going to be used to censor speech we don't like ... that's very dangerous," said Julie Ahrens, director of copyright and fair use at Stanford University's Center for Internet and Society. "It is a pretty stunning decision.""

Fair Use is an important doctrine allowing use of copyrighted works without the owner's consent in certain situations. But documentary filmmakers and producers of online content under utilize the fair use doctrine in their work. The creation and circulation of information to the public, and public debate, is shaped and limited as a result. This session will explore the fundamentals of fair use, as well as what may and may not be permissible, best practices and new developments.

Despite their many problems, I still like roses. However, I do insist on having at least a modicum of fragrance and substance. Therein lies the problem. With the exception of a few enlightened rose breeders, the bulk of roses originating over the past several decades have focused on the flower form and color at the expense of fragrance. The newer landscape roses go a long way in their disease resistance and increased flower number, but can lack fragrance and produce flowers with no style; a blaze of eye-searing color perhaps, but in the end not very satisfying. For those of us who think a rose should smell like a rose, it often means seeking out the older, fragrant roses.>> read "T-Budding" #Fragrant #Propagation #Roses
Roses are more than prickly garden plants with exquisite flowers. They are much more than roots and leaves, stems and petals.

What is an antique rose? Sometimes antique roses are called heirloom, heritage, vintage or old garden roses. Whatever your preference of terminology, they are a wonderful class of roses whose date of introduction precedes 1867. They are extremely fragrant, grow without chemicals, and are adaptable in a wide variety of growing conditions. They can create a mood of romance, or nostalgia, stirring up sentimental memories of your grandmother's yard with sprawling roses on the fence or trellis.>> read "Antique Roses Never Went Out of Fashion" #Fragrant #Roses
Place the ingredients into a large bin, small wagon or wheel barrow. Since this job can create considerable dust, protect yourself with a dust mask and work in a well-ventilated area. Use a small shovel to mix the ingredients well. Use about 2 cups of the mixture around mature rose bushes, and 1 cup around miniature roses or smaller shrubs. Apply this mix twice a year, once in the early spring (March-April) and again late summer (July-August). A large plastic drinking cup from a fast food restaurant makes a great scoop. Work the organic mix into the topsoil and water well. All of your plants, flowers and turf will love this organic soil conditioner.

Rose black spot is perhaps the most devastating disease of roses in the South. This disease is caused by a fungus (Diplocarpon rosae) that attacks the foliage of many rose varieties in home landscapes. Many dedicated rose growers battle black spot year after year. The disease can flare up virtually anytime of the year when the leaves remain wet for a period of six or more hours at a time. Frequent rainfall with cloudy days or periods of high humidity can result in disease onset.>> read "Rose Black Spot" #Disease #Roses

What is it with some mountain bikers these days? In the early days of mountain bike riding only intrepid people who were self-reliant and had a sense of adventure got into mountain biking. Now people full of fear are entering the sport (and we are trying helping them overcome those fears) and after a year or so of riding they are changing the sport. They are trying to make the trails easier to ride, "All trails should be able to be ridden by all riders.", was posted on one of our facebook posts this spring. Another rider wrote, "if the trail has advanced features (like roots and rocks) it should be signed and have a "squirrel catcher (mtb speak for a tough move that only someone skilled enough to ride the trail can do, keeping the "squirrels" from venturing further) " on all entrances to the trail so only experts ride it." He went on to say, "in reality all trails should have easier go-around options on the tough sections". What on earth makes someone feel this way?! Many of these trails are 20-50 years old and they are way out in the woods. Who exactly is going to spend their days fixing these trails that aren't broken? How do you make a go-around when there if a cliff going up on one side of you and cliff going down on the other? You know what we called those trails in 1993 while riding on our fully rigid mountain bikes? "Trails", we didn't call them beginner, intermediate or expert, we just called them trails. You know what we did if we got to a section we could not ride? We tried it once or twice and if we failed to clear it we simply walked over it and then continued our ride. We called these sections "challenges" or "hike a bikes" they were simply part of being out on a narrow trail 10-500 miles from town. We didn't get angry at the trail when we couldn't make something, we didn't call our local trail sanitizers and say, "please come make a go-around for the rock on Seven Bridges trail" and have them come out and take every "challenge" out of the trail. We laughed, yelled or screamed but we were smart enough to get off and walk before putting ourselves in danger (and sometimes our egos were bigger than our skills and we got hurt, mountain biking can be dangerous when you exceed your skill level!) we used "common sense". Sometimes we even turned around, "that trail is too tough!" was heard more than once. Then a friend would ride it and tell us how great it was and we would give it another try.
Again, we love helping riders improve and some of our students are much better riders and racers than we are and some aren't as good, who cares, it isn't a contest, it is mountain biking. Doesn't "mountain biking" make you think of nature while "road biking" conjures up images of pavement? Is nature safe and manicured or is nature harsh and rough? Believe me famous mountain biking destinations like, Moab, Bootleg Canyon, Durango, Sedona, Squamish and Whistler are harsh and rough in places. Doesn't "mountain biking" sound tougher than "road biking"? Are mountains smooth and soft or jagged and gnarly? Don't get me wrong, I love the sweet beginner trails that are being built. Many of them flow so well even "expert riders" enjoy them. Keep building sweet beginner trails, they help grow the sport and get more people riding "mountain bikes". Even people who formerly thought mountain biking was dangerous and not for them are starting to ride. This is great, except, mountain biking is dangerous, it involves riding a bike in the mountains (remember, mountain are jagged and gnarly)! Many trails, especially older and harder to reach trails are not manicured, they are wild. All mountain bikers can ride these trails just the less skilled are going to walk many sections. At that point they can choose to not ride that trail again or challenge themselves to improve, not dumb down the trail! I would love to be able to score a goal playing ice hockey but they are not going to make the hockey goals as big as soccer goals so I can do it! They are going to make me earn my goal scoring skills, the same way they did, with good coaching and lots of deliberate practice! Heck, I might even feel good about myself. I might feel like I faced a challenge and overcame it! Aren't growth, learning and pushing your personal limits things that make you feel good? Ski racers didn't dumb down the slopes, they educated themselves, trained hard and they actually ice down their race courses to make them harder! There are still beginner trails for their fans, foes, friends and family but there are trails them too!
When did we get so soft? We meaning the "US", have you ever ridden in Canada? In Quebec and British Colombia the local trails are so hard many pro cross country racers from the US could not ride them. You know what they call these super hard trails in Canada, "trails". They rode some of these trails 20 years ago on hardtails and they ride them now on their full-suspension bikes. Some trails were built more recently and are even harder, designed to challenge riders on their "cheater" 4-6" travel bikes. In Canada (like in the US in the early 1990s) they know some sections are harder than others so they walk the hard sections until they learn to ride them. That is part of mountain biking.
Get out and ride and challenge yourself to improve!

New Mexico, Richmond's Gonzalvez take honors
Editor's note: This edition is for games played from Monday, Feb. 8, through Sunday, Feb. 14.
Team Of The Week: New Mexico
Last week: Won at UNLV 76-66; won at Utah 68-65 OT
The Lobos gained control of the Mountain West with a convincing win over UNLV amid a raucous atmosphere at the Thomas & Mack Center. The Lobos then stayed on the road and took out Utah in overtime.
Think about this: The Lobos have won nine games away from the Pit. New Mexico historically has never been a great road program, but the Lobos under Steve Alford have reversed that trend. The toughness the Lobos have shown this season is unmatched the past few decades in Albuquerque.
The Lobos weren't supposed to be this poised, this under control, this productive this season. But Darington Hobson has turned into one of the top players in the league, complemented by Roman Martinez, Dairese Gary, Phillip McDonald and A.J. Hardeman. Get used to these names in March. The Lobos have given no indication that they will wilt any time soon. New Mexico still has to go to BYU on Feb. 27, and the winner will likely win the regular-season title. But the loser should be fine for the Dance and will have an equal shot to advance a round or two.
If you had doubts about New Mexico after a tight overtime home win over San Diego State, you shouldn't anymore. The Lobos swept a difficult road swing and the Aztecs beat UNLV at home, proving the depth of the Mountain West yet again.
Other Contenders
Kansas: The Jayhawks reasserted themselves as the team to beat for the title with the road win at Texas this past Monday. Kansas never was rattled, continued to play with poise and has now won at Kansas State, Texas and Temple. Kansas then crushed Iowa State to complete the week.
Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons took care of business at home this week, taking out Boston College and Georgia Tech, the latter to earn a season split of the series. Wake Forest is a game behind Duke in the standings. The Demon Deacons don't play Duke again but have established themselves as one of the top three teams in the league.
Pitt: The Panthers had the warm-up against Robert Morris before a herculean effort to beat West Virginia in triple overtime. The Mountaineers had control of the game before Ashton Gibbs nailed a 3-pointer at the end of regulation. Pitt never stopped playing. That's the win that should propel the Panthers forward.
Villanova: The Wildcats had one of the best bounce-back wins this season with a victory at West Virginia this past Monday after losing to Georgetown. If you had doubts about the Cats' ability to be a No. 1 seed and a Final Four team, they were erased (for me) in this win. Nova then wiped out Providence in the second half for a sweep of the week.
Purdue: The Boilermakers' win at Michigan State was one of the more impressive road wins in a power six conference this season. Purdue was in control for most of the game and reasserted itself as a Big Ten title contender and a threat to get to Indy. I love the way the Boilermakers play defense.
Player Of The Week: David Gonzalvez
The numbers David Gonzalvez put up -- 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting -- weren't the only story of Richmond's 69-67 win at Rhode Island. It was when Gonzalvez made a 3-pointer with 1:22 to play to give the Spiders a 67-66 lead in Kingston. Teammate Kevin Anderson then hit a layup to put Richmond ahead by three with 23 seconds left.
Gonzalvez continued his torrid week by leading the Spiders to a 68-49 victory over St. Bonaventure on Saturday that turned the wheel toward a possible A-10 title and NCAA berth. Gonzalvez scored a team-high 25 points in 34 minutes as the Spiders moved to 20-6 overall -- 9-2 in the A-10 -- to stay equal in the loss column with Xavier, Temple and Charlotte.
Richmond has quietly put together a stellar season with nonconference wins over Missouri, Mississippi State and Florida and a run to the top of the A-10. Gonzalvez is one of the main reasons.
The Rest Of The Rotation
John Wall, Fr., G, Kentucky: Wall was sensational in the win over Tennessee on Saturday night with 24 points, making 9 of 12 free throws, 7 of 15 shots and controlling the tempo for the Wildcats. He started the week with 22 points and 10 boards in a home win over Alabama. Wall continues to lock himself into All-American status in his chase to stay with Ohio State's Evan Turner in the player of the year race.
Matt Bouldin, Sr., G, Gonzaga: Bulldogs coach Mark Few said Bouldin should be an All-American. It's hard to argue. You can nitpick about whether he's a second- or third-team pick (you need to put Wall and Turner on the first team if you go two guards), but Bouldin -- save for his brutal performance against Duke (which was post-concussion) -- has been superb for the Zags. Bouldin scored 18 points in a crucial WCC win over Saint Mary's. He then followed that up with another efficient performance against San Diego with 16 points, making 7 of 10 from the field.
Ekpe Udoh, Jr., C, Baylor: Don't just look at the numbers: eight points, nine boards and six blocks in a two-point win at Nebraska and six points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in a two-point win over Missouri. Udoh has become the go-to late-game player for Scott Drew's Bears. He hit a hoop with 26 seconds left in Lincoln. Udoh then tipped in a basket with 1.3 seconds left to beat Missouri in what was probably Saturday's best ending. The win pushed the Bears to 6-4 in the Big 12, 19-5 overall and likely a lock now for the NCAA, barring a collapse.
Brian Zoubek, Sr., C, Duke: Hard to ignore the Z-man after his performance Saturday against Maryland. Zoubek had been one of the better defenders all season for the Blue Devils. But he awoke his offensive game against the Terps with 16 points and 17 boards to go with two blocks in the rout of Maryland. He wasn't a major factor against North Carolina, but didn't need to be in that game.
Five Golden Teams
Duke: The Blue Devils are clearly the best team in the ACC and are heading toward a high seed with wins over North Carolina on the road and a blowout of Maryland.
Gonzaga: The Bulldogs might have lost once at San Francisco, but sweeping through Saint Mary's and San Diego after already blitzing Portland was another indicator that the Zags are the team to beat out West and could be in Spokane for the first and second rounds.
Syracuse: Despite the stunning loss Sunday to Louisville, Syracuse still should be in play for a No. 1 seed, especially if it beats Villanova on Feb. 27.
Kentucky: The Wildcats blew past Tennessee late and are headed toward an SEC title and a No. 1 seed. DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall are easily two of the best in the country at their respective positions. All is good in the Commonwealth.
Michigan State: The Spartans dropped three in a row after Kalin Lucas injured his ankle. But Lucas returned to full strength Saturday and scored 24 points in 35 minutes (10-of-15 from the field) in a road win at Penn State. Don't sweat the Spartans now. They'll be fine, pushing for a likely No. 2 seed and a run toward Indy.
Five Teams In Trouble
• Tulsa: The Golden Hurricane lost at home to Memphis. a week after they lost at UTEP. Tulsa is now two games behind the Miners and is looking at needing a win at Duke on Feb. 25 as its only chance to get an at-large bid (highly doubtful). So that means Tulsa must win the Conference USA tournament. The good news is it's at home.
• Siena: Maybe it was expecting too much. Maybe it's not fair. But the Saints did lose at Niagara. It's not fair to say that these teams in non-power six conferences have to win out. But the Saints had to differentiate themselves in the conference without a hefty nonconference résumé. A win over Butler at Hinkle would help. But like Tulsa, the Saints will host their conference tournament.
• Saint Mary's: The Gaels went on the road to Gonzaga, and while it would be asking a lot to beat the Bulldogs, losing yet again means Saint Mary's doesn't have the necessary Zag win this season. Then the loss Saturday at Portland, a solid WCC club, meant the Gaels likely have to win the WCC tournament at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
• Connecticut: The Huskies were supposed to be infused with new energy by the return of Jim Calhoun to the bench after seven games. Instead, UConn gave its worst effort of the season and forced Calhoun to say he was embarrassed. The Huskies are heading to the NIT at this juncture, if that. There are opportunities with a road game at Villanova on Monday and a home game against West Virginia, but there is no indication the Huskies can win either game.
• South Carolina: The Gamecocks, like the Huskies, beat a top-ranked team. UConn beat then-No. 1 Texas. South Carolina beat then-No. 1 Kentucky. But both might not make the NCAA tournament. South Carolina dropped to 5-5 in the SEC, 14-10 overall, after losing at Georgia. Of course winning on the road is hardly a given, but the Gamecocks had to differentiate themselves and didn't.
Places To Be This Week
College Station, Texas, Monday: I'm convinced that Texas A&M's fans will be as loud and as disruptive as Kansas State's. The question is, can the Aggies do what the Wildcats could not and beat top-ranked Kansas? Texas A&M is a sound, disciplined team. I wouldn't be surprised if the Aggies pulled off the upset.
Starkville, Miss., Tuesday: I'm not sure Mississippi State can beat Kentucky, but one thing is certain: The matchup inside of Jarvis Varnado and DeMarcus Cousins should be intriguing to watch. Can Varnado be physical enough to deal with Cousins? The problem is that Kentucky can run Daniel Orton and Patrick Patterson at Varnado as well. Where is Renardo Sidney? He's still not eligible.
Tampa, Fla., Tuesday: Cincinnati had a huge win at Connecticut on Saturday, but now the Bearcats have to deal with a pesky South Florida team that is still in the mix for a tourney bid.
Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday: The winner of the Purdue-Ohio State game will have the inside track on matching Michigan State in the next two weeks. This should be one of the best Big Ten games of the season.
St. Louis, Wednesday: The most dangerous team in the A-10 right now might be Saint Louis after the Billikens beat Dayton in double overtime. With a win against Rhode Island, SLU could make bubble life miserable for the Rams.
Washington D.C., Thursday: After a pair of Sunday surprises, all of the sudden both of these teams are looking to avoid a losing streak. While the Orange have proved to be a very good road team, the Hoyas have played up to their competition at home.
Milwaukee, Thursday: Pitt is coming off a triple-overtime win over West Virginia, while Marquette is making a strong case to be an NCAA team. Should be a fun one at the Bradley Center.
Cambridge, Mass., Friday: Cornell got a must-win against Princeton, but is still tied with the Tigers in the loss column. Lose at Harvard and suddenly Princeton is in first again and the Big Red and Crimson are tied.
Nashville, Tenn., Saturday: Vanderbilt had one of its worst games of the season at Kentucky. Don't expect that to occur when it hosts the Wildcats in what should be one of the best atmospheres in the SEC this season.
Indianapolis, Saturday: Even with Siena losing at Niagara, I'm still banking on the Saints at Butler as being the best BracketBuster game of the weekend. A Siena victory would certainly help the fading at-large profile.
Charlotte, N.C., Saturday: Xavier is hot after a victory at Florida, but winning in Charlotte is even more important for the A-10 title. Loser will be behind Richmond.
East Lansing, Mich., Sunday: Depending on what happens in Columbus on Wednesday (assuming MSU beats Indiana), this showdown between the Buckeyes and homestanding Spartans could be for first place in the Big Ten. It's their only meeting of the regular season.
Pittsburgh, Sunday: Villanova's schedule is backloaded with difficult road games. Nova got pounded by Georgetown and had a huge win at West Virginia. A victory at Pitt would be quite a primer for the following Saturday at Syracuse.

Highlights: Tennessee-Kentucky
Five To Keep An Eye On
• Saint Louis: Rick Majerus' squad took out Dayton in double overtime, already beat Richmond at home and is 7-3 in the A-10. The Billikens are not just spoilers but real players in the league race, with games remaining against Rhode Island, Xavier, Temple and at Dayton.
• Virginia Tech: The Hokies are quietly 7-3 in the ACC, a game behind Duke in the loss column after a road win at NC State and a victory against rival Virginia.
• Clemson: The Tigers are flawed but at least are now taking care of business, with home wins over Florida State and Miami, to creep above .500 in the ACC and head closer toward the NCAAs.
• Marquette: If you're looking for a middle-of-the-pack team that might make the NCAA tournament but wasn't projected to, look to the Golden Eagles. Marquette has won five straight, including two on the road at Connecticut and Providence. The Golden Eagles still have three more road games but draw Pitt, Louisville and Notre Dame at home. If Jim Boeheim doesn't win Big East coach of the year (he should win national, too), then Marquette's Buzz Williams will get the honor.
• Texas A&M: The Aggies had only one game this past week and won it at Texas Tech. That put the Ags three games back of Kansas, which they host Monday. A&M is a sound, disciplined squad that should be a possible Sweet 16 team if all goes well.
Highlight: Ga. Tech-Wake Forest
Five You Can't Figure Out
• Louisville: Just when it was time to give up on the Cards, they pull off one of the most surprising wins of the season at Syracuse. This coming after an embarrassing blowout at St. John's.
• Texas: The Longhorns blew out Nebraska on Saturday, but they were lost against Kansas earlier in the week. Which Texas team is going to show come March?
• Memphis: The Tigers had a convincing win at Tulsa after winning at home over Central Florida. The talent is in place, with Elliot Williams and Wesley Witherspoon leading the charge, but the Tigers haven't been able to win the "up" games, as evidenced by home losses to UTEP and Gonzaga.
• Cal: The Bears finally won games they were supposed to by sweeping the Washington schools. But it's still hard to figure which Cal team will show after the Bears lost a week ago at USC, allowing a 25-0 run. What will happen when the Bears, the Pac-10 frontrunners, go to Oregon State on Thursday? The Beavers won at Arizona this weekend, so who knows.
• Illinois: The Illini won at Wisconsin, one of the bigger stunners of the week. The Illini had won five straight games before Sunday's game against Ohio State. That was after three consecutive losses. But I'm still not totally sold on this crew, especially after the Buckeyes won handily at Assembly Hall. Before this one, the Illini had been finding ways to win. Not on Sunday.
Highlight: Louisville-Syracuse
Bad Week But Not Out
• Florida: The Gators lost at South Carolina and then at home to Xavier. Florida dropped to 6-4 in the SEC, 17-8 overall, yet still should be fine barring another major collapse.
• Northern Iowa: The Panthers lost at middling Bradley. Everyone in the Valley gets up to play the Panthers now, so losing on the road shouldn't be a shock. But it's still another L for a team that doesn't have many marquee wins among the 22. Still, UNI should be in the Dance.
• West Virginia: The Mountaineers lost at home to Villanova and then at Pitt in triple overtime. The Mountaineers are golden for the tournament and a high seed, but they can forget about catching Syracuse and Villanova for the Big East title.
• Northwestern: The Wildcats lost at Iowa. That was a bad, bad loss, and one that could have been devastating if the Wildcats had lost again to Minnesota on Sunday. But the OT comeback win against the Gophers kept Northwestern's historic NCAA hopes alive for at least another game.
• UNLV: The Runnin' Rebels lost at home to New Mexico and then at San Diego State. Neither of those are bad losses. It certainly puts Vegas in a precarious position, but the wins at New Mexico and over BYU should have shelf life.
Special Shout-outs
• Randy Culpepper, Jr., G, UTEP: Culpepper lit up East Carolina for 45 points Saturday. That followed his 18 points in a road win at SMU as the Miners continue to be the team to beat in Conference USA at 10-1, 19-5 overall.
• Donald Sims, Jr., G, Appalachian State: Sims scored 25 points versus Davidson (9-14 FG) and 30 points (11-14 FG) against Georgia Southern. The Mountaineers lead the Southern Conference's North Division by two games over Western Carolina.
• Jerome Randle, Sr., G, Cal: The senior guard dropped 33 points against Washington and 24 versus Washington State in a sweep. Randle connected on a combined 10 of 11 free throws and 9 of 14 shots from 3-point range, with just four turnovers.
Upset Of The Year
Penn over Cornell: Hard to dispute it after the Quakers had only three wins (against teams that were a combined 15-55) before upsetting the Big Red. Cornell's win at Princeton the next day should be the indicator that the Big Red will still win the Ivy, but the sting of the Penn loss will haunt Cornell in seeding.

Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton swatted again
MILEY CYRUS and PARIS HILTON have fallen victim to pranksters once again after police were called to their Hollywood homes following false reports of gun crimes.
The Party in the U.S.A. hitmaker, who was last targeted by crank callers in August (12), was not present on Friday night (17May13) when cops pulled up to her mansion to investigate allegations that shots had been fired inside the property, and authorities quickly discovered the emergency call had been a hoax.
It has since emerged that officers were also called out to Hilton's Los Angeles pad last weekend (11-12May13) after a woman claiming to be the hotel heiress dialled 911 and claimed she was being held hostage at gunpoint in her bedroom.
The socialite was not home when cops arrived and Hilton only found out about the drama when she returned and saw multiple cop cars lined up outside her driveway, reports TMZ.com.
The incident was the second 'swatting' incident at Hilton's home in less than two months, after a similar hoax call was placed in late March (13).
Ashton Kutcher, Justin Bieber, Clint Eastwood and Tom Cruise are just some of the celebrities who have been 'swatted', in which callers phone in fake crimes to elicit an urgent police response.
