Jimquisition: The Positive Side to Punching Nuns

Jim, I have to ask you, can you please do another video on the subject. There are far to many people who do not get it, even though it is easy to get. I doubt you read this forum (as the comments under your video are probably easier to access), but I still have to ask. I would love you to do another video that explains to these morons what the controversy is.
The video made an interesting point and helped me see the debate in a new a light... Like Jim I'm not going to touch that debate with a ten-foot pole... and I laughed at the 'bye' at the end
That's all I wanted to say
Question: if this was monks taking off their robes to reveal straps and thongs... would that be considered 'edgy' or 'ironic'?
That ending made me giggle like a schoolgirl for a good few seconds.
Um, what? Perhaps if you went ahead and explained yourself instead of trying to mock me by editing my post I would be able to understand what the hell you are talking about. As you seem to be contradicting your earlier point, although it is hard to tell as the quote edit you did there jumbles your message.
you say it's hard to sexualize things for a gender because people have different tastes, but at the same time think the battle nuns were sexualized? I don't get it. But that's what happens when you spend more time trying to mock someone than actually forming coherent ideas.
Yeah, it's a fair point, I'll give you that. But it still doesn't strike me as somehow outside the scope of what the series has done so far. I mean really think about the groups behind those rave parties. If one of those groups sent an assassin after you and it was a leather/fishnet clad woman, would you really be surprised? Personally, I wouldn't. From the feeling I've got of the series, those groups dress like that, it's what they're into, whether they're at a rave or going out for a kill.
I did that in Saint's Row the Third, when I attacked the gimp house. Not the prime example you were thinking, I'm sure, but hey, you wanted an example. Though, there's quite a lot of anime that covers the topic.
Actually, please don't. :)
I really hope Jim is right and that some of the fallout of this and things like this is that publishers start considering that maybe, just maybe the strippers aren't necessary anymore.
A spoof, probably.
Well then let's look at it from a professional point of view.
-A group of nuns approach on foot. (needlessly drawing attention to themselves and no chance of a quick evacuation in case the mission goes badly)
This was not a professional hit job, this was an adolescent fantasy.
The problems with the trailer are twofold;
1. If it's indicative of gameplay they've destroyed what was a good series.
2. They're wearing BDSM outfits.
If you think violence against women who have fired a rocket at you, followed by trying to stab and shoot you, is bad then I don't understand you.
Are you trying to imply some sort of inequality simply because females also occupy the lower ranks of the army? There are female commanders, female ship pilots and there were also female Spartans. It's just that you know.. the whole point of Halo is that Chief is the last Spartan, meaning they're dead.
The halo series is a really good example of treating females equally in games without making a big point about it. There are no stereotypes here, just characters.
I shouldn't say it's an actual norm, but it's a perceived norm in some circles and that's what some people are complaining about. This part of what I was talking about is more about the views and discussions I've heard from others than my own views on this. Sorry for not making that clear in the first place.
I believe that the cited media things for this come from a lot of thriller, horror, and I think some action movies and games. I'm not actually an expert in this though, so the people claiming that they see this a lot may actually be involved more heavily in some other kind of genre that may have this going on a lot more than the media that is actually dominating most of popular culture.
Now the following is more of my personal view than the discussions I've heard from others.
I'm not sure that it's erotica that is a problem because while you're using Illusion as an example of something that hasn't sold there are specifically erotic games that have sold very well in the U.S. The Leisure Suit Larry series did very well here and is still widely remembered by gamers, so well remembered that the creator started up a kickstarter project and got a huge backing for it. Even minorly erotic games like Catherine have done well in the U.S. I'm not sure why you're presenting some erotic material as showing that all erotic material does poorly in the U.S. when that's clearly not the case. I think you may be confusing certain kinds of erotica not doing well in the U.S. market with all kinds of erotica. Japanese erotica, in games, would tend to not do as well in the U.S. on the whole I think because a lot of the culture surrounding erotica is treated very differently. Here people consider some things sexy that very few people in Japan would find sexy and vice versa.
There is always controversy surrounding games that have sex in them, that's true, but it's not usually from gamers themselves (as you suggested in an earlier point) it's often from people who don't even play the games. Think of the groups that screamed about Mass Effect having a lesbian relationship as an option in the first game (and then everything else in the later games), a big chunk of the protestors for that were people who wouldn't even pick up the game in the first place.
But still, think of it this way too, going back to my earlier stuff that does involve the gamers who have actually played Hitman before and who are now boycotting it. They're probably not too prudish if they've played past Hitman games, I remember more than a few levels having scantily clad people, but they probably have a specific objection to this trailer in particular because things have been presented a bit differently than they were before. Though I do think there was another instance very similar to this in the games before it wasn't used a selling point that I remember and was not therefore, intentionally or unintentionally as it may be, putting in a point of oh you must want all these women sexed up for you before you attack them. That's the difference here in why I believe in why gamers are objecting and are not necessarily being prudish so much as they're having a specific view (that is sexist) pushed on them as something they're assumed to like instead of something they can deal with as liking or not liking on their own terms as a selling point.
The sexism in particular is making it very bad to people, of course.
Yeah, but you chose to set up the scenario that way in Saint's Row, you weren't trying to sell it to someone.
And which anime features a fully-clothed, non-sexualized woman beating up scantily-clad, heavily sexualized men? And isn't played for laughs, but is rather supposed to be gritty and serious? I'd be very curious to watch it.
If you missed the point any harder you would be bombing another planet.
This has nothing to do with feminazi bullshit at all.
Its a blatant, transparent, marketing gimmick that serves no purpose other than to titillate teenage boys, and that is its only purpose. If you think cries of 'objectification' are just feminist bullshit, than consider this: why did the assassin-nuns removes their habits to reveal fish-net and spandex in the first place? Why, as sex appeal to the supposed male audience of course! There is no other reason around it: there is no tactical advantage to the outfits themselves, nor is removing the habits in the first place.
If you ever want a definition of what objectification is, well, its that (so feel free to dismiss true feminnazi bullshit that claims objectification but does not fit this model). You see, the women were there as window dressing. Sure, you can argue that they were competent assassins and therefore can't possibly be a valid case of objectification, except they weren't put there to merely be fodder to Agent 47's awesome fighting skillz. The posing shot proves that they weren't intended to be generic enemies, but intended to be ogled as they became fodder. Some have pointed out that by sexualizing them (through removing the habits) they were make less powerful, and therefore a more acceptable target. Think, would the scene had the same punch if the women kept the habits on?
Maybe it wouldn't be as big a deal as it has been, except that we don't often see men being emasculated like this as often, and the Hitman Trailer is being picked on for being blatant in an age where gaming has become more assessable, and more people, with the advent of the web, can find and share more. The ultimate problem that this trailer highlights is the industry's regard of women as window dressing, and how these moments will serve to scare off future women from gaming.
Course, you liked the trailer? Good for you. Maybe you are in that teenage-boy demographic, or maybe you just thought the music was bitchen and the action was sooh sweet. I can't take that away from you, nor will I try. The point is that this conversation is an important one, like many before it, and we need these conversations if the medium of making computer programs for art's sake mature and be taken seriously. You don't have to agree with my opinion, but at least understand it before you dismiss it as entitled whining, considering I don't think I'm asking for that much, if at all.
Sorry, I kind of effed up the formatting, my point is that when you sexualize (or oversexualize) a character (endow with sexual characteristics) with the intention of appealing to a certain gender, for instance giving the character huge breasts the following happens:
This seems character design 101, but what can happen after trying to appeal to only one gender is the following:
Disclaimer: (These are my new conclusions, ignore my past comments)
Note: (I wasn't mocking you, I tried to reframe your question with an example that failed miserably)
I liked it.
Saying that,
I'm a sick fuck.
While I appreciate your attempts to use my words to accentuate your point, the fact of the matter remains that I fundamentally DISAPPROVE of the course of 'conversation' which is going on. Not because of the content of the video, whether it amused your or not, but on the basis of it's continuing the popularization of individuals climbing up onto their soapboxes and condemning other people for having the 'nerve' to enjoy the things they do.
Why do trailers and movies and books depict things like this? Because people ENJOY it. If people didn't... marketing moves like this wouldn't sell copies of games. And, lo! Sex and gimmicky action is STILL selling movie tickets and video games.
You and your soapbox have the right to exist. I'm certainly not going to take /that/ away from you. I'm just here to remind you that you and your opinion don't have the right to dictate what I enjoy, or what anyone else enjoys, and you sure as hell don't have any kind of a moral high ground to stand upon. If I happen to enjoy something you don't, by all means... don't enjoy it.
That's what this discussion is about. It's not about speaking against the objectification of women. It's not about people expecting a more mature tone from the medium of gaming. What this entire discussion is /actually/ about is individuals reinforcing themselves in the belief that if they throw enough stones at people who disagree with them, they might earn some extra kudos on the internet. This argument doesn't have a damn thing to do with people actually caring about the content of the trailer. INDIVIDUALS might be having that discussion, but it's certainly not all the people who make their livings by REPORTING on this stuff. They just want people to keep reading and writing what they have to say, so they take a position in any polarizing argument that comes along.
Maybe you don't like it! That's fine! It's good to know what you like and don't!
But don't fool yourself into thinking that this argument is about anything more than the gaming media trying to stir up some controversy by acting shocked and affronted by something that it knows isn't SHOCKING or AFFRONTING.
It's just media doing what media does best... stirring the pot.
I think if the Hitman: Absolution trailer wasn't preceded by 4 solid games, and was a new IP, the trailer(and game) would be lauded as a Tarantino-esque potential barrel-o-kitschy fun...however, seeing as there is already a VERY SOLID play style from the Hitman series, it comes across as more of an unwanted deviation from a unique and polished play style.
Case in point: I could see Saints Row or Shadows of the Damned getting away with this
First off. Thank God for Jim. But only for the last little bit of the episode where he points out how many people are stuck in this insane dick waving tolerance fest. The problem isnt people being tolerant, its that people who are tolerant for the sake of being tolerant are typically not tolerant in the slightest. Just siding with what ever is politically correct.
Beyond that, Two things Jim. I get there is an accent difference from across the pond but if your going to use a word that is going to grate so much on American ears, try to limit the usage of it to once or twice, and break out the thesaurus if you must. I wanted to take your purple dildo on a stick and jam the thing in my ear till it exits through the other one if I had to hear Con Trov Oh Sees one more time so I would never have to hear it again..
Content wise... Actually I think these types of controversies are actually highly detrimental. Your not really raising awareness and improving the industry. All your really doing is creating politically correct censorship. Your taking the voice developers have in expressing their creative vision and forcing them to dumb it down so it has more mass appeal in a kinder gentler way. I dont know of any form of media where you hinder the artist at the justification of wanting to be sensitive to all, that ends in a good way. Censorship is Censorship, regardless of if it was forced, or socially demanded.
Thing is, I bet the whole punching nuns generating controversy was an intended effect to rile up this generation of PC Zealots. Because really the Hitman franchise has always been pretty run of the mill and average, so generating a shit storm actually benefits because much like what GTA pulled at the early part of the century, You can gain popularity and profitability based on people buying your product for no other reason than to see whats got everyone so pissed off.
You're not seriously going to try and sell me on the idea that the absolution trailer is to be taken serious, are you? And I'll give you that I don't have an example offhand, but Excel Saga comes to mind, though that's about as far from serious as can be. That's kind of the point, though--the scenario in question is nothing but ridiculous. They can do as many dramatic, tension building cuts as they like, and set it to a perfectly functional, atmospheric soundtrack, but the idea of "assassin fighting Latex-clad assassins dressed as nuns" is just laughable. It's something out of Looney Tunes, or Saints Row (but only 2 or 3).
i dont have a problem that these women get killed in a violent way because they wanted to kill him, so i still classify it a self defense. dont get me wrong, im against violence to women but you get my point.
My only complaint about this whole so called controversy, is that he is not beating a group of defenseless women. It is just trailer that was meant to bring attention to the game. It's not a particularly good trailer, and it doesn't do much for selling the game to me. But I also do not find it offensive.
Well said.
As far as I'm aware most of the outrage isn't from the violence, nor is from the violence against women. It's the way the trailer sexualises said violence against women. You have to admit, slow motion shots of scantily clad women getting the shit kicked out of them does seem a lot like violent erotica.
Now people will read as far into this trailer as they want. Harmless violence or the brutal domination of women presented in a provocative manner? Probably a bit of both really.
Personally the trailer makes me uncomfortable, it just seems unnecessarily fetishistic to me. But I can see why others may have no issue with it or get riled up about it.
And that was my problem with it. I thought the squad of nuns is a great idea until I saw the shoes and the outfits. No wonder he could kick their asses. Those are terrible for fighting situations.
I couldn't care less about the violence against women in this trailer. Or violence against any woman who is trying to kill me. Or any man, child, animal or anything else for that matter. You try killing me and fail, then you must die. End of story.
Ya know... I normally wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole, but I'm feeling crazy so LETS DO THIS SHIT!
Okay, and this part is purely violence against women. Socrates once said "when woman is made man's equal, she is his superior" and that's kind of what's happened. Women now have all the same rights as men (More in some cases, don't get me started about birthing rights in Australia) but society still sees them as needing extra protection... which I mean... In the broad sense is true; there are some women that could hand my arse to me but genetically speaking men have a higher muscle density compared to women. But to be honest; I would advise not attempting to smack anyone around, rather own them verbally.
Now... there are exceptions to this rule; and this exception is if someone try's to kill you... you go ahead and try to kill them right back. If you are a combatant you have to come to peace with the fact that someone is going to try and kill you it doesn't matter if you're male or female... or 6 years old (as harsh as it sounds) for that matter.
Anyone points a weapon at me and they have just forfeited their right to life
As far as the hypersexualisation... meh, I mean we've all heard of the honey pot. Men have strength, women have sexuality. I could see a lot of women wearing this get up because its like owning their sexuality. And I'll tell you; there is a good chance that if I saw that on the battle field I might hesitate. Just going... "DAMN!". Saying that I've seen women rock a flack jacket pretty well to. I think a lot of the hypersexualisation lash back is coming from groups that think "Slut" too much. Now I'm not saying open your legs for everyone ladies, I'm just saying the majority of you look damn good in latex and six inch heals, you should wear it more often. Seriously though; Its a subjective thing. I say "What ever you are comfortable with, just respect that others have different opinions"
Oh, but you look way better on the back of a sports bike in full leathers.
And... COME ON, FUCKING BATTLE NUNS!
Okay so I don't give a damn about the "violence against women" thing. That's stupid. Women can be assassins and they can get hit, hurt, killed.
What bothers me is that the dude assassin gets to wear a suit and look cool while he's kicking womanly ass...while the dudette assassins have to look like they should be on the street corner going "you looking for a good time boys?"
That's the problem with this. Both the guy and the women are assassins, but one is clearly better represented, and guess which one it is.
If you want to dress your female assassins up as sluts, fine, but then your male assassin better come out dressed like a chip 'n dale dancer.
But would a chip 'n dale dancer be imposing? These women look imposing because they have control of their sexuality. Can a chip 'n dale dancer look badass? I mean honestly?
I really loved the Hitman series but I don't like this preview at all. The thing that bothers me most isn't so much that it sexualized the nuns or killed them, but that it both sexualized AND killed them. Seriously, I don't mind some fan service or violence but when you combine them together in the same short clip it can get really disturbing.
first time ive seen the trailer.. erk.. tacky in the extreme and aimed specifically at males in the 15-25 demographic, a pure fan service trailer.
it would be nice if geek culture could grow up from hypersexual violence against women.
This is my first time watching this trailer. I don't get it at all. Why were they wearing nun habits? Why did they suddenly remove them to reveal sexy clothing? What is this supposed to portray about the game?
This is one of the strangest portrayals of sexualized violence I've seen.
Well, there was a time when a video game depicting women getting punched was not ok.
So what did Capcom do?
Fast forward a lot of Capcom games, and you have Poison in Street Fighter X Tekken.
The more you know.
The one with the nipple tape, or without?
If a Chip 'n Dale dancer suddenly pulled a gun on you, would you feel in control of the situation or be thinking about how unimposing he looks?
"Boy, put that thing away before you hurt your self"
But that's just me. I would not feel in control, but if you're not in control of something its pointless worrying about it.

When I was asked to write a review of "Sarranda's Heart: A Love Story of Place" by Celia Miles, I discovered that it's the author's second book about this character. So I ordered the first book, "Sarranda," and began a wonderful journey.
When I was asked to write a review of "Sarranda's Heart: A Love Story of Place" by Celia Miles, I discovered that it's the author's second book about this character. So I ordered the first book, "Sarranda," and began a wonderful journey.
In book one, the title character, Sarranda Boylett, writes about her own life from childhood through her marriage to Zack Boylett, the birth of her three sons, and the losses and tragedies that came with the Civil War.
The book opens with the words, "You never really leave the place of your heart." That special place for Sarranda was Greene Valley in the mountains of Western North Carolina and, surprisingly, her grandfather's grist mill, where she spent time with him as a child.
Sarranda's early life included some schooling when it was available, usually three to four months a year. She worked hard alongside her mother on the family's 20 acres, deeded to her parents by her beloved Grandda.
Her father, never too successful as a farmer, leaves the family to join the California gold rush. She is married at 15 and the mother of three boys by the time the Civil War begins.
The war years taught Sarranda that no matter how much has been lost, things can always get worse. Grandda died two weeks before word reached the valley that the war was over. It was a time when "tears no longer counted as an indicator of grief; women and children had used up their supply."
Her third son, Josiah, began failing and died in the winter of 1866. In the years that followed, all those who were dear to her passed away or moved on. At that point, Sarranda knew she must find a way to live independently.
When she took a basket of eggs and some produce to the post office/general store, she learned of a wealthy Charlotte lady seeking a live-in housekeeper and companion, "reader preferred." She asked for paper and ink from Mr. Frady, the store proprietor, and replied to the letter immediately.
She deeded her small acreage to her son Frederick and was ready to leave the mountains when word came that she had been chosen for the job. The nearest railroad terminal was in Morganton at that time. Travel was arranged, and Sarranda began the next phase of her life.
"Sarranda's Heart: A Love Story of Place" covers her years in Charlotte, her departure from Alice Whitney's home, her association with women's benevolent groups in Massachusetts and her return to Greene's Valley.
Sarranda met with a church women's society and realized she was not prepared to "prevent moral decline" or to represent a religion. Instead, women who wanted to help Sarranda in her efforts in Greene Valley raised money privately to fund her for a year.
Sarranda returns to North Carolina with an adventurous Irish serving girl named Lila, whom she met in Massachusetts. They find that the railroad now reaches Asheville. The city is prospering, but her valley is struggling. Sarranda and Lila make their way to her old place. When they arrive at Frady's General Store, they find that business is very poor and Mrs. Frady is now widowed. She welcomes them and offers the old post office space for their use as a temporary classroom to begin their school.
I sincerely hope we won't have to wait too long for a third book in the Sarranda series. The first two are lovingly written and give the reader a rich understanding about earlier times here in the mountains.
Celia H. Miles was born in Western North Carolina. Now retired, the former English instructor lives in Asheville. In addition to the two Sarranda novels mentioned here, Miles has written several other books, including two short story collections. She has also co-edited three anthologies of the work of women writers in Western North Carolina.
Information about all these publications can be found at her website, celiamiles.com. Celia has self-published all of her work and says she will continue to do so "for pleasure, with profit a slight possibility." Most of her books are available as e-books and in soft cover from Amazon as well as in regional independent bookstores.
Linda Finster is the secretary of the Bookfest Steering Committee. Blue Ridge Bookfest 2014 will be held April 25 and 26 at Blue Ridge Community College. For more Bookfest information visit, www.blueridgebookfest.org.

The Investigative Unit has found that drivers for FedEx Freight, a division of FedEx, have been in 730 accidents in the past two years, and have been cited more than 679 times for unsafe driving.
The collision near Orland between a FedEx truck and a bus carrying high school students has the Investigative Unit wondering about the company's driving history. Records NBC Bay Area obtained from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration show that out of 679 violations they recorded, nearly half were for speeding. Other violations include "failure to obey traffic control device" (81) and improper lane changes (57). 47 violations were issued for using a cell phone or texting while driving.
Traffic accidents are even more common than traffic violations. Over the past two years, FedEx drivers have been involved in 730 nationally 43 of those incidents happened in California, which include two fatalities prior to Thursday's accident.
The accident on Thursday was the worst FedEx has experienced since November of 2012 when it was involved in a 100-vehicle pileup in east Texas.
It's important to keep in mind that FedEx Freight is just one part of the larger FedEx. The company is massive and has more than 20,000 vehicles and 35,000 employees. And as with all companies who employ drivers of truck and buses, their employees undergo drug and alcohol testing.
However, when compared to other freight companies, Fedex Freight racks up violations more frequently and is involved in collisions more often than its peers.
In terms of company size, the tour bus involved in the accident, Silverado Stages, is a much smaller carrier. It's based in San Luis Obispo and has fewer than 2,000 employees. It's never been involved in a fatal accident.
NBC Bay Area also took a long look at the road where the accident occurred [map]. The collision happened on a stretch of I-5 roughly 160 miles north of San Francisco near the city of Orland. California Highway Patrol data NBC Bay Area analyzed showed there have been just nine accidents along that stretch of roadway since 2008. However none resulted in severe injuries. The majority of those accidents occurred with a mile of Thursday's fatal accident.
None of the nine recorded accidents were head-on collisions like the one involving the tour bus on Thursday. The closest head-on collision on I-5 since 2008 was over 10 miles away from the FedEx crash site.
FedEx expressed their "deepest personal sympathies and the condolences of over 300,000 other FedEx team members" in a written statement from CEO Frederick Smith. Smith cautioned that it would take some time to determine exactly how and why the accident occurred, but pledged the company's willingness to comply with investigators.
Investigators have estimated that it could take anywhere from three to six months to determine a cause.

PITTSFORD — The intrigue surrounding Mario Williams' mysterious foot injury reached another level Monday when it was revealed the Buffalo Bills' defensive end has left training camp to be evaluated by team doctors.
Coach Doug Marrone was short on specifics about Williams' injury, saying only that he was "off campus," and that he had not yet heard any report.
Marrone reiterated what he said Sunday night – when Williams took part in individual drills, but sat out the team portion of the first practice of training camp at St. John Fisher College.
"His foot was sore. We're not going to make any mistakes about it. We're going to make sure that everything's fine," Marrone said "Our doctors are evaluating him. Where he is, where he goes, I'm not going to talk about that."
Marrone admitted to being nervous about how much information he could share due to concerns about medical privacy laws. When asked whether Williams' departure from camp signaled more of a concern about the injury than originally believed, he said: "I don't know. Every time I go to the doctor, there's always something that could happen. … I leave it up to the layman to put their opinion on it."
Marrone said he still does not know which foot Williams injured, or how it happened. He was caught off guard by the news that Williams was hurt.
"Yeah, we were all ready to go," the coach said. "It happens. You go out there for the first time and sometimes you're sore."
As for when he would be back at camp, again Marrone was stumped.
"I have no idea. I really don't," he said. "I'm waiting for the doctors to get down that chain until it gets to me.
"I can put him on the field when the doctor says he's cleared. If the doctor says he's not cleared, he's off the field. I don't really try to concentrate a lot on that. … Basically I just ask the doctor, 'When's he coming back? Or do we have him for practice?' Really that's all I do.
Marrone apologized for not being more forthcoming, but said that was the way he has always approached injuries, as both a player and coach.
"I'm not a doctor, so I don't know," he said. "The only thing I can tell you: when the doctor tells me how long he's out, I'll be able to tell you."
It came to light last year after the first game of the regular season that Williams had suffered a wrist injury. What impact that had on his performance became one of the predominant storylines of the first half of the season.
The Bills failed to list Williams on their injury report and were eventually fined $20,000 by the league because of it.
During the team's bye week, he had surgery, but did not miss any games.
Williams has had a tumultuous offseason.
He sued his ex-fiancée in May to recover a $785,000 engagement ring after the couple broke up.
She in turn filed a counter suit, and text messages Williams sent to the woman, Erin Marzouki, were released that suggested he was having suicidal thoughts, something which he denies.
In June, Williams described defensive coordinator Mike Pettine's philosophy by using the words "kill" and "hurt" in regards to the other team – a no-no in today's NFL culture. The team and Williams quickly backtracked from those comments.
Williams' injury coupled with the ongoing absence of Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd leaves the Bills without arguably their two best defenders.
"You guys have to remember, and I hope you appreciate where I am – my focus is on the players that are on the field," Marrone said. "That's where my main focus needs to be and my concern. Now, that doesn't mean I'm heartless or I have no empathy towards people, I obviously do. But the people that are here, I have to get them ready."
Williams' absence has created more practice snaps for young players like Jamie Blatnick and Kourtnei Brown, as well as fourth-year veteran Jerry Hughes.
"You get an opportunity and it gives us more snaps to evaluate those players," Marrone said. "I was happy with the way those guys have stepped up."

I know applique has been addressed before, but I have some quick questions. (Mainly because it's easier to ask here than to look it up myself).
1) When you do the applique- do you use regular thread? Do you 2 threads or one?
2) Is the objective to not see the stitches?
3) If I applique by hand some blocks, but other blocks are going to be a different pattern, is it OK to machine quilt those?
I cut out some blocks to applique hearts on them and thought I'd take them to the car show tomorrow and applique by hand instead of machine. I also have some Sunbonnet Sue, but thought I'd machine applique them to make it go faster.
Thanks for your help!!!

Engaging but a Bit Odd
Fund: Accel Partners
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-08-11
We had a very good conversation with them - thoughful and observant. But then they vanished - simply never responded to calls or emails. I've presented to many firms, both large and small- and found that at the very least you get a pass. But radio silence is a first. Not sure what to make of it. Tried to contact them a few times - but never did get a call back. Weird.PRIVATE: Members Only

The festivity takes place every September, and revolves around two different events: the solemn ceremony of the transfer of the Standard of the Castilian monarch Alfonso VIII, and the festival which has been enshrined for centuries by Royal Decree, consisting of a popular bullfight with young bulls in the Plaza Mayor square.

...reposted from Ball State University, "Making an Impact"...
When it comes to wireless broadband, Ryan Lasure is playing a leading role as he works on a Ball State University project testing the ultrafast communications system known as WiMAX.
Lasure, '10, MS information and communication sciences, is overseeing a usability study for wireless broadband.
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hWvz-ZhYTWw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hWvz-ZhYTWw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
Using towers rather than fiber optics, WiMAX promises to extend high-speed Internet access to previously underserved areas, relieving the pressure placed on existing wireless infrastructure by the growing use of smart phones and new mobile devices such as the iPad.
"It is an amazing opportunity to be at Ball State and working at the first location in North America to test the newest WiMAX equipment," says Lasure, who hails from Sterling Heights, Michigan. "Ball State is on the leading edge of wireless communications, and it shows by the resources the university is putting into this project. "
Ball State has partnered with Alvarion, Cisco Systems, and others to test stationary and mobile wireless since 2005. And universities and colleges around the country are knocking on Ball State's door for help in building their wireless broadband systems. Ball State recently built and is remotely managing a small test bed of wireless broadband for the University of Wisconsin's Madison campus.
In Muncie, Indiana, Lasure is leading a group of students to examine how students living in near-campus neighborhoods may use wireless broadband.
"In my role, I lead a student team to coordinate with all the users and provide surveys to gauge how our network is operating," he says. "It has improved my organizational skills by handling about 150 students. The project also has allowed me to further understand market research."
Lasure also is blogging about his experience for the Cisco Mobility Community.
"It is obvious that Ryan has great leadership potential because he knows what is going on, takes charge, and has moved the WiMAX project forward," said Kirsten Smith, associate director, technology officer and labs manager for Ball State's Center for Information and Communication Sciences (CICS).
"He has a great attitude and is organized, thoughtful and proactive. And through it all, he still manages to be fun to work with. He understands the big picture as well as the elements that make up that picture. I believe he will be highly successful in whatever future he makes for himself."

24-year old female patient, light vehicle road traffic accident, at 90 kmph, would appear to have been thrown over a bridge.
In the initial examination, indeterminate abdomen with hypogastric guarding, blood creatinine at 199 micromols/l with no known previous history, stable hemodynamic status.
My report:
- No posttraumatic lesions in the cranioencephalic space (left thyroid nodule to be evaluated at a later date) or in the thoracic space (common bilateral gravity-dependant ventilation disorders). No posttraumatic lesions of the cervico-thoraco-abdomino-pelvic spine.
- Trauma to the proximal portion of the celiac trunk with non-obstructive intraluminal thrombi (due to probable laceration of the intima) and splenic ischemia (probable emboli).
- Very abundant intraperitoneal fluid effusion following large intraperitoneal rupture of the vesical dome.
- Subcutaneous emphysema of the left anterior abdominal wall with inguinal skin wound.
- Stable multi-fragment fracture of the left iliac wing, with no damage to the acetabulum. Avulsion fracture of the left anterosuperior iliac spin (with probable disinsertion of the sartorius).
- No other traumatic lesions of the intra-abdominal solid organs (liver steatosis).
Abdominal vessels trauma, Intraperitoneal bladder rupture, Spleen infarction, Pelvic fracture
- Emergency urological care with celioscopic suture of the intraperitoneal bladder rupture. The intraperitoneal investigation confirmed the presence of a large, transverse bladder rupture at the dome, measuring approximately 8 cm in length. No other posttraumatic lesions in the abdominal cavity.
- Conservative treatment of the pelvic fractures.
- Anticoagulant and anti-platelet medication for at least 1 month followed by consultation with a vascular surgeon for the celiac trunk injury (the follow-up CT scan at 4 days revealed resolution of the thrombi in the celiac trunk).
Important points:
- Systematically examine the permeability of the abdominal arterial structures.
- In the event of abundant intraperitoneal fluid effusion with no traumatic lesions of the intra-abdominal solid organs, perform a late phase scan to detect bladder rupture.
- Unlike contusion, ischemia of a solid organ is not enhanced.

Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Please note that OrthodoxWiki is always in development, so not everything works quite right yet. You can help, though!
OrthodoxWiki is a community-edited encyclopedia of Orthodox Christianity. Articles are created and edited by our members, and so everything that we do here is subject to review and revision. The result is a true consensus product, with every interested editor contributing his own knowledge and writing skills.

Articles in Arabic
Greetings Habib! Good to have you here. We're not really setup to offer articles in other languages on the wiki at this point, although I would hope to have an Arabic-language site similar to the Bulgarian-language site we now offer. (See OrthodoxWiki:Localization for details.) In the meantime, I suggest you post the articles off of your user page in anticipation of that time. I'll put a sample link in so you can see how it would work. Yours in Christ, — FrJohn (talk)
P.S. I'm not sure how right-to-left writing works with MediaWiki -- should be the same as on Wikipedia, I'll have to look into it. You should simply be able to write in unicode though. I'm not very familiar with this, but we could definitely make it work with some practice, I think.
- More information at meta:RTL. I could put in a CSS style that aligns text to the right, but this isn't ideal. A temporary solution might be to paste the (UTF-8) text in from another editor. Do you have any ideas? How do things work on http://ar.wikipedia.org?
- Hi, You can send me a private email through this link: Special:Emailuser/FrJohn or at the email address on my user page. God bless, — FrJohn (talk)
- Just a short note to confirm that the Arabic text displays well and is properly aligned/flowing from right to left. Yours in Christ, --Arbible 03:02, October 19, 2006 (CDT)
- Arbible, glad to hear that. Habib - thanks for the introduction - I'll get back to you more today. Just a note that Dn. Andrew prob. deleted your articles since they were on the main wiki, where we don't really support other languages. The proper place for now is on your user page. I've asked Arbible, who speaks Arabic and has been active here for a long time for help organizing these articles for inclusion in a future Arabic-language version of OrthodoxWiki. This is an exciting thing for me! God bless you, — FrJohn (talk)
Copyright, etc.
Hi Habib,
Please add appropriate copyright tags to the images you uploaded. We need to be careful about copyright here, citing sources appropriately and tagging content with the appropriate copyright template. Please check out some of the links above (in the Welcome message) which can help you get a feel for some of this. Also, check out OrthodoxWiki:Localization/Arabic. — FrJohn (talk)
Re: Hello
Dear Habib,
Thanks for your message. Yes, you may communicate with me in Arabic. مرحبا
Yours in Christ, --Arbible 03:57, October 20, 2006 (CDT)

Don't panic.
The last shopping weekend before Hanukkah and Christmas may have come and gone, but it's not too late to snatch up some last-minute presents for the job seeker in your life.
Sometimes, finding that right gift can be a real struggle. However, there are plenty of options out there! Check out these 8 last-minute holiday gifts for job seekers:
Something to seek
Why not hit the nail on the head and give the job seeker in your life something that will help them find a job? Introduce them to some professional contacts and friends and start a small networking group online to help them jump start their networking for the new year.
Something to be professional
Job seekers of all levels want to be as professional and polished as possible in their search. For younger seekers or folks returning to the job search after a break, consider buying a consultation with a certified resume writer or a new portfolio to make them look even better on the job hunt. Any job seeker would appreciate a nice pen or professional stationary for the thank you notes they'll be writing.
Something to be organized
An organized job search is an efficient job search, so consider giving something that can get an otherwise messy job seeker organized. Agendas might be old-fashioned, but are a popular tool for many seekers today. Also, think about a desk organizer to enhance their workstation.
Something to get going
There's a reason why "pounding the pavement" is a euphemism for the job search. Job seekers travel a lot to get hired. A gas card, metro pass, or even airline miles can be a huge help in the search.
Something to look spiffy
Everyone loves new clothes, so why not buy something new for that oh-so-important interview or meeting they have coming up? A new tie or shirt can make or break an outfit. If you're unsure, try a gift card for a popular clothing store so they can shop their own look.
Something to relax
We all know how stressful the job search can be. Nothing is worse than that feeling of the unknown that unemployment brings. Any job seeker can appreciate the gift of an hour-long massage, a set of relaxing teas, or an inspirational book. And, for the adrenaline junkie who cannot relax unless they are going 140 mph on fire, try helicopter flying lessons (hint-hint), a day on the slopes shredding powder moguls, or bungee jumping.
Something to have fun
Even job seekers need to take their mind of things every once in a while. Give a fun gift like a funny movie or a board game everyone can play.
Something with you
Last but not least, the job search can be a really lonely time. Be part of your job seeker's support network by asking them out to lunch, offering to help look over an application or two, and just listening. Not all gifts have to cost money. Companionship can be better than anything wrapped.
What do you think? What other gifts would you give to the job seekers in your life? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

If you are spending £130 on an antenna thats 17 feel long, is £17 for a bracket to mount it safely & securely to your property really that much?
A 17 feet tall antenna may not weigh much when it is laying on the floor horizontally. But it still needs supporting & 17 feet places a fair amount of pressure on it's mount when it's vertical, especially when you start to add wind pressure to that force.

Welcome to ParliPro.org
According to Robert's Rules of Order, parliamentary procedure is based on the consideration of the rights of the majority, the rights of the minority (especially a large minority greater than one-third), the rights of individual members, the rights of absentee members, and the rights of all of these groups taken together.
This website is a companion website to
Robert's Rules Online - www.RulesOnline.com
with full-text keyword search of the Fourth Edition of Robert's Rules
Parliamentary Procedure: What does it mean and why is it important?
Puzzled by Parlipro? Tongue-tied by motions? Perplexed by whether a motion is debatable or amendable? Who came up with the rules of parliamentary procedure anyway? With our online tutorial, here's a chance to learn a thing or two about motions and parliamentary procedure, courtesy of the public domain version of Robert's Rules of Order Revised, Fourth Edition.
This website www.parlipro.org is dedicated to advancing the knowledge of parliamentary procedure, which can be fun, as well as educational. Some of the educational material on this website comes from Robert's Rules of Order Revised, Fourth Edition. This is an important book, mostly consistent with all later editions, and can be helpful in the study of parliamentary procedure; however, the most current edition of the work of Henry M. Robert is Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR), 10th Edition 2000, which is the truly definitive source of information about parliamentary procedure.
If the bylaws* of an organization specify RONR as the adopted parliamentary authority, then that book should be used. The Fourth edition can serve as a useful reference tool but, by all means, get a copy of the current edition of RONR; it contains much information and details not available in the Fourth Edition.
The information presented on this website is believed to be accurate and is intended to provide some of the basics of parliamentary procedure, but is not intended to be complete. RONR is a 704 page reference book, where you can find the facts and details about things that spark your interest.
How can a professional parliamentarian help you? A professional parliamentarian can serve your organization as a Meeting Parliamentarian, Convention Consultant, Written Parliamentary Opinions, Bylaws Writing and Interpretation, Parliamentary Procedure Workshops, and serving as a Professional Presiding Officer. Click here if you would like to read additional information about these services.
You may wish to consult with a professional parliamentarian in your area for more information. For a reference, contact:
National Association of Parliamentarians
213 South Main St.
Independence, MO 64050-3850
Phone: 888-627-2929
Fax: 816-833-3893;
Or contact the Oklahoma State Association of Parliamentarians or the Sooner Unit, a local study unit of the National Association of Parliamentarians.
As time goes by, we will be adding additional interactive features to this website, designed to test one's knowledge, as well as other material designed to inform and educate on the basics of parliamentary procedure. Come back often and check on our progress.
* [The 1915, Fourth Edition, of Robert's Rules of Order Revised, uses the hyphenated spelling "by-laws." The current, 10th edition, of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR), uses "bylaws." Although many bylaws (by-laws) still spell it with a hyphen, the current usage is without a hyphen.]

The Fujifilm X-Pro3's new viewfinder, new screen and titanium construction all make for an appealing camera - for the right type of photographer, that is. Find out if the Fujifilm X-Pro3 is right for you in our initial review.
We've been digging around under the hood of the Nikon Z50. We look at what Nikon's first APS-C mirrorless camera does and doesn't offer.
The Osmo Mobile 3 is DJI's third generation gimbal for smartphones, arriving with updated controls and a new foldable design. If you want a stabilizer for your phone it's worthy of consideration.
The Live Planet VR system may look like something out of a science fiction movie, but this stereoscopic, 16-lens camera and its associated cloud platform may be one of the best tools out there for live-streaming events in 360 degrees.
The Canon 90D is a DSLR that operates best when used as if it were a mirrorless camera. It offers live view autofocus that's competitive and easy to use, class-leading image quality, and video specs that'll appeal to the masses, all in a familiar, DSLR-shaped package.

To increase the use of products and materials with life cycles and ingredients that improve overall environmental, economic and social performance.
* This credit language is drawn from the LEED v4 draft. Where other point totals are noted, this pilot credit is worth 1 point in total. *
Option 4. whole-building life-cycle assessment (3 points)
For new construction (buildings or portions of buildings), conduct a life-cycle assessment of the project's structure and enclosure that demonstrates a minimum of 10% reduction, compared with a baseline building, in at least three of the six impact categories listed below, one of which must be global warming potential. No impact category assessed as part of the life-cycle assessment may increase by more than 5% compared with the baseline building.
The baseline and proposed buildings must be of comparable size, function, orientation, and operating energy performance as defined in EA Prerequisite Minimum Energy Performance. The service life of the baseline and proposed buildings must be the same and at least 60 years to fully account for maintenance and replacement. Use the same life-cycle assessment software tools and data sets to evaluate both the baseline building and the proposed building, and report all listed impact categories. Data sets must be compliant with ISO 14044.
Select at least three of the following impact categories for reduction:
- global warming potential (greenhouse gases), in kg CO2e;
- depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, in kg CFC-11;
- acidification of land and water sources, in moles H+ or kg SO2;
- eutrophication, in kg nitrogen or kg phosphate;
- formation of tropospheric ozone, in kg NOx, kg O3 eq, or kg ethene; and
- depletion of nonrenewable energy resources, in MJ.
General Pilot Documentation Requirements
- Participate in the LEEDuser pilot credit forum
- Complete the feedback survey:
Credit specific:
The idea of this credit is to explore the holistic environmental impacts of material selection for structure and assembly. At a minimum submit summary life cycle inventory and assessment results for the materials and assemblies explored.

Project Grand Slam, named by leader Robert Miller as a play on "Goldfinger"'s plan to steal all the gold from Fort Knox, is probably the first—and he and PGS are up to plenty of melodic and grooving wonder this summer on Spring Dance, their explosive new album on Cakewalk Records.
The collection's lead track is its title tune, an upbeat, feel-good, winner penned by Miller. Miller's other songs include the Joe Zawinal tribute "Joe Z," a high energy blast that brings to mind the fiery fusion magic of Weather Report, complete with exotic chanting and old school keyboards; the sensual and elegant soprano sax led ballad "Ma Petite Fleur," a piece Miller dedicates to his wife and that he calls his favorite on the collection; the brass-fired, classic blues-funk explosion "Catch You Later"; and "Flat Busted," an in-the-pocket, mid tempo grooving urban jazz tune featuring Gilad Ronen's hypnotic flute runs.
Ronen and Joye Hennessey's "Remember" is featured first as a dramatic and soulful, longing romantic vocal (highlighted by strings and an emotional sax solo) and, as a coda to Spring Dance, a thoughtful and reflective instrumental that evolves into a percussive, easy rolling, rhythmically engaging samba. Ronen also composed the ambient, slightly melancholy ballad "The Turn," which featured a smoky sax melody and soaring horn textures.
The band also covered the old Hollie's hit, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". Says Miller: "Joye did an incredible job with the song, almost like Mariah Carey singing jazz!". The eclectic nine-track collection is the follow-up release to PGS' critically acclaimed 2008 debut, Play, which included the Top 20 jazz radio hit "The Captain Of Her Heart" (sung by Judie Tzuke). Five of the tracks from Play, along with the band itself (with Miller having a speaking part), were prominently featured in an episode of the hit NBC-TV series "Lipstick Jungle," starring Brooke Shields. PGS did several live performances at clubs in NYC in addition to a charity show for the Ronald McDonald House.
For the new album Miller invited Mike Eckroth, keyboardist for guitar legend John Scofield, and alto sax man Danny Lerman to complement the core trio. After a few days of rehearsal, the new lineup of PGS convened in the studio and nailed the basic tracks in a week, with most songs done in two or three takes. After some overdubs, Justin Smith was brought in to sweeten some of the tracks with strings. And Joye Hennessey added her soaring vocals.
Miller is a renowned solo artist. His debut project, Child's Play (Wildcat Records 1994) included performances by Randy Brecker, Jon Lucien and Anton Fig; his follow up, Prisoners of Love (1996) was released on 32 Records, a label Miller co-founded that became famous in the late '90s for a series of "Jazz For…" compilation recordings (Jazz For a Rainy Afternoon, Jazz For The Quiet Time, etc.) that dominated the Billboard Jazz charts and sold well over one million units. His band, The Robert Miller Group, played at many major New York area clubs, graduating to the national festival circuit where they appeared with artists like Bruce Hornsby, Bela Fleck and Kenny Barron.
"The essence of where we are as a group, and where I am personally in my life, is captured in the title track of the album with its upbeat vibe," says Miller. "It's a feel good kind of piece with an uplifting melody, funky beat and elements of my jazz fusion background. We're all about strong melodies and great playing. What excites me most is exciting the listener."

Four Tips to a Better Game, WarmaHordes Edition
by lodur on Jul.16, 2014, under Opinion
There have been a lot of posts lately on various social media and sites in which people are very disgruntled at having lost a ton of games at the start of their WarmaHordes game time. I thought I would take the opportunity to share my thoughts on how to avoid being disgruntled and how to have a better game experience overall in warmahordes from the perspective of someone who a scant year ago had never thrown dice down in a warmachine game.
Just a heads up, I am not a tournament player and this is not a guide on how to win tournaments, this is my opinion on how to derive more enjoyment out of your games.

Recap: No. 5 Wichita State throttles Bradley 72-50
WICHITA, Kan. — The stat that caught Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall's eye Tuesday night was minutes played.
Only one of Marshall's Shockers played more than 24 minutes as No. 5 Wichita State smacked Bradley 72-50 to remain unbeaten.
"It's not just that we were able to rest our starters," Marshall said, "we're still trying to lengthen our bench, too, find more guys that can pull the wagon."
Fred VanVleet had 22 points and seven rebounds, and Darius Carter added 11 points for the Shockers (18-0, 5-0 Missouri Valley Conference), who extended school records for winning streak and best start to a season in their first game as a top 5 team since 1981.
Walt Lemon scored 12 points, Tyshon Pickett added 11 and Omari Grier had 10 for Bradley (6-12, 1-4). Those three were a combined 12 of 37 from the field.
"We've actually played pretty well the last three games, but they just had their way," Braves coach Geno Ford said. "We really don't think we played that differently than we have. They're just that good."
Wichita State might be a little better after getting the bench so many minutes. The Shockers' two leading scorers, Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker, combined for just 13 points in 40 minutes, and it didn't really matter.
Bradley pulled within 15-14 on 3-pointer with 8:27 remaining in the first half. But the Braves made just one field goal over the next 5 minutes, allowing Wichita State to pull away. A 3-pointer by Baker keyed a 10-0 run. Minutes later, VanVleet scored five straight points to give the Shockers a 32-18 lead.
"I thought we were active in our pressure," Marshall said. "The deflections and steals got them to play faster than they wanted to."
After Bradley's Mason Alwan made a layup, the Shockers' Derail Green took over.
That was quite unexpected as Green had played in just 12 games this season, logging more than 5 minutes only twice. He entered Tuesday's game averaging less than a point.
But given early playing time due to Evan Wessel's ankle injury, Green shined. He hit a 3-pointer, two free throws and another 3-pointer in a span of 62 seconds, pushing Wichita State's lead to 40-20 with 1:35 left in the half.
"Give Green credit," Ford said. "Those 3s were backbreakers for us."
The Shockers did not take long to improve on a 40-23 halftime lead. Four free throws by Chadrack Lufile and a three-point play from VanVleet made it 47-23 with 17:47 remaining.
"The reason they're so good, in my opinion, is they have four guys that lead a fast break," Ford said, "so they play really fast and yet they average less than 10 turnovers a game. It's unbelievable."
Wichita State's lead was so comfortable, walk-on J.R. Simon, who had played a total of 23 minutes this season, entered the game with more than 13 minutes remaining.
The Shockers' lead continued to grow. A 3 by VanVleet with 5:59 remaining gave Wichita State a 70-38 lead, and the Shockers cruised to their eighth straight win over the Braves.
Wichita State outrebounded Bradley 41-31.
"I could feel their guys wearing down," Carter said. "They were definitely getting a little tired of blocking out."
VanVleet was 7 of 10 from the field and has scored at least 16 points in four of Wichita State's last five games.
"He's the best point guard in the league," Ford said, "and I'm not sure there's three better in the country."
Bradley had not played a conference game against a top 5 opponent since an 82-80 overtime loss at No. 4 Louisville on Jan. 4, 1975.

ATLANTA – Rick Pitino doesn't need to win the national championship on Monday night to get into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He already took care of that this weekend. And he certainly doesn't need to beat Michigan to secure his legacy as one of the all-time greatest college coaches.
But if Louisville can beat Michigan, Pitino will do something nobody in Men's Division I basketball has done: Win an NCAA title at two different schools.
MICHIGAN: Wolverines survive Syracuse despite Burke's off night
It has been 17 years since Pitino's Kentucky juggernaut rolled through the NCAA tournament, beating No. 4 seed Syracuse in the championship game. And though he's now taken Louisville to the Final Four three times in 12 seasons, this would be the crowning achievement of his career. And especially to do it in the shadow of John Calipari's Kentucky program, which breezed to the title last season and looked ready to overwhelm college basketball for the foreseeable future.
BOX SCORE: Michigan 61, Syracuse 56
"It means a lot," Louisville forward Chane Behanan said. "We haven't been to the national championship since I don't know when, probably before I was born. I'm very glad to be a part of this tradition."
To be precise, the Cardinals haven't won or played for a national championship since 1986 – about 6 ½ years before Behanan was born.
Louisville's opponent is working on a similar streak.
Though the Wolverines played for the title in 1992 and 1993 – later vacated because of NCAA violations associated with booster Ed Martin – only a 1989 national championship banner hangs in Crisler Arena.
Since the so-called "Fab Five" left campus after those consecutive championship game trips, there have been more bad days than good for Michigan basketball. After the probation and the postseason ban in 2003 and the mediocrity of the Tommy Amaker era, it took an unflashy hire in John Beilein from West Virginia to spark a turnaround that now culminates with a trip to the title game.
Michigan, the youngest team in the tournament, could present significant problems for Louisville. Though the Wolverines struggled late in the regular season and went 3-4 in February, they've improved their defense significantly in the NCAA tournament and probably won't be rattled by the Cardinals' full-court pressure. Michigan handled Virginia Commonwealth's all-out, "HAVOC" press with ease in the Round of 32, winning 78-53.
"We thought about that already just when we played Florida (in the Elite Eight) because (VCU coach) Shaka (Smart) had been on the Florida staff at one time," Beilein said. "Rick has a tremendous tree of coaches out there, so now we're playing the man himself who invented a lot of this jump and run and different types of traps. So there's been some preparation involved along the line, but seeing firsthand, the way Rick does it, there will be some uniqueness to it, and we just have to get ready the best we can and still make sure we're fresh."
LOUISVILLE: Reserves rally Cardinals past Wichita State
BOX SCORE: Louisville 72, Wichita State 68
Michigan has made 40.2% (33-of-82) of their three-pointers in the tournament to get to the Final Four. But it was one shot – point guard Trey Burke's desperation heave in the final seconds of regulation against Kansas – that changed everything for the Wolverines, allowing them to get to overtime and ultimately past the Sweet 16.
If Michigan goes on to win the title, Burke's shot will go down as one of the forever moments in NCAA tournament history alongside Tyus Edney's coast-to-coast layup for championship-bound UCLA and Mario Chalmers' tying three-pointer for Kansas against Memphis in the 2008 title game.
Had Syracuse beaten Michigan in Saturday's semifinal, pregame preparation wouldn't have been a huge factor in the championship game since Louisville and the Orange already played three times this season in the Big East.
WICHITA STATE: Shockers respond to "iffy" late call
Instead, Pitino said the Cardinals would have "a lot of preparation" during the 48-hour turnaround but stressed that fatigue was more of a factor.
"One of the key things right now when you're a pressing team is that you stretch, get a nice walk-through, but don't use up your legs," Pitino said. "We had to work really, really hard tonight."
The most significant intangible for the game can be found on the Louisville bench, but not wearing a tailored suit. Guard Kevin Ware of the now mythical compound fracture in last week's regional final against Duke, was with his teammates Saturday, cheering them and even once hobbling over to get in the huddle during a timeout. Ware, who coincidentally is from the Atlanta area, is also expected to attend the title game, providing a bit more inspiration.
Louisville is 2-0 vs. Michigan all-time, but the last meeting was in 1978.

Veteran offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie was contacted immediately by the Chicago Bears at the start of free agency, according to his agent, Michael George.
However, that job opportunity quickly closed when the Bears agreed to a five-year, $35.965 million contract with former New Orleans Saints and Towson University offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod. That deal included $17.715 million in guaranteed money.
McKinnie's stated preference is to remain with the Ravens, but there's been no movement toward that happening at this time. Unless it makes sense for both sides financially, they could part ways.
And he's competing with a crowded class of offensive tackles that includes Miami Dolphins free agent Jake Long, who's being recruited by the St. Louis Rams.
"We'll be engaged in discussions for the next several days with different teams," George told The Baltimore Sun. "Nothing concrete yet, but some good discussions. We'll see what happens."

When Centennial senior captain Hans Gorowsky woke up the day of the Cougars Section 5AA semifinal matchup with Maple Grove, it wasn't starting out to be one of those good days.
"I kind of had the chills going and i threw up a bit this morning, so it was a battle through school," he said.
In No. 2-seeded Centennial's 4-1 victory against No. 3-seeded Maple Grove on Wednesday, Feb. 27 Gorowsky scored three goals and vaulted the Cougars to the Section 5AA championship game where they will play Champlin Park on Friday, March 1 at the State Fair Coliseum.
"He played really well for us tonight," Cougars coach Ritch Meene said. "He is our leader and one of our best offensive players.
"I heard he wasn't feeling good this morning, so I wondered how he would feel."
"Once I got on the ice I didn't even feel sick anymore," Gorowsky said.
If there was anyway Gorowsky could find a way he would play, he would.
Nothing would hold him back from giving his team a shot at the Section 5AA championship game.
The Cougars have not been to the state tournament since 2004, where they won the title and did not allow a single goal in the three games at the Xcel Energy Center. Theywill have an opportunity to get their with a victory over the Rebels on Friday night..
"He wasn't going to miss this one," Cougars goalie Patrick Munson. "It didn't matter how sick he was, he was going to play no matter what.
"You saw how good he was tonight. A hat trick? I don't think we could ask for more."
Gorowsky scored the first two goals for Centennial and capped off the hat trick with a shorthanded, empty net goal on a shot from the Cougars zone.
As the unquestioned leader for the Cougars, Gorowsky led them to the Section 5AA championship game.
"In big games your biggest stars need to shine their brightest," Menne said. "Our big star came through big time for us."
"I was a little nervous coming in, but as the game went on I started to feel pretty good and when that first shot went in I had a feeling it was going to be a good night," Gorowsky said. "We need to keep it going against Champlin Park."
Centennial played Champlin Park twice this season in Northwest Suburban Conference play. The Cougars won the first meeting 3-2 and tied 3-3 later in the year.
"We've had some tough battles with them, so we will not look past them at all, no matter what their seed is," Menne said. "You start to get yourself in trouble if you do that and we are fully aware at what Champlin Park can do."
Hans Gorowsky scored three goals to lead No. 2-seeded Centennial to a 4-1 victory against No. 3-seeded Maple Grove in the Section 5AA semifinals on Wednesday, Feb. 27 at the State Fair Coliseum.
Gorowsky scored the first two goals for the Cougars and completed the hat trick with an empty net, shorthanded tally on a shot from Centennial's own faceoff circle.
Cougars goalie Patrick Munson made 27 saves and faced a total of 14 shots in the third period alone.
The lone goal he allowed was with 3 minutes, 45 seconds left in the third period when Maple Grove's Joe Fanta was able to find the back of the net after a scrum of players collected in front of Munson.
Jordan Pitlick also scored for the Cougars. His goal in the third period gave Centennial a 3-0 lead.
The Crimson, who won the Section 5AA title last season, finish with a 15-12-0 record.
Centennial advances to the Section 5AA title game against No. 4-seeded Champlin Park. The Rebels upset top seed Blaine in the earlier semifinal matchup.
The Cougars and Rebels will square off on Friday, March 1 at the State Fair Coliseum.
1. Hans Gorowsky, Centennial
Cougars coach Ritch Menne said that big players are supposed to come through on the biggest stage and the senior captain did just that. Gorowsky scored three goals in the Cougars 4-1 victory, despite being under the weather for most of the day. He pulled through in a big way for the Cougars
2. Patrick Munson, Centennial
Munson may have quietly had one of the better seasons of any goalie in the state, but he put on a clinic against rival Maple Grove. He made 27 saves and did not give up many rebounds for the Crimson to pounce on. In the final period he faced 14 shots and turned aside 13.
3. Jordan Pitlick, Centennial
The Crimson were stating to find their groove late in the second period and it carried over into the third. Pitlick put an end to a potential comeback when he scored in the third period to extend the Cougars lead to 3-0. Maple Grove cut the lead to 3-1 late in the third period, so the senior's tally ended up providing some relief in what could have been a white-knuckler.

Stevens writing Bilski?
Because I know next to nothing on the merits of patent law, my predictions for the now overlong-awaited Bilski decision will extend no further than this: Justice Stevens will be its author.
Two factors lead me to this conclusion. First, Stevens and Thomas are the only two justices yet to author a majority opinion from the November sitting. Given that Stevens–and not Thomas–has the history of landmark tech-oriented decisions. In fact, he has contributed one a decade:
- 1978: FCC v. Pacifica Foundation – Broadcast media and the First Amendment
- 1984: Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios – Video cassette recorders and Copyright
- 1999: Reno v. ACLU – Internet and First Amendment
If you consider 2010 to be part of the first, rather than the second, decade of the 21st century, then it looks like Stevens is due one more swing for the ages.
One can assume Stevens will write for the liberals if Bilski has any left/right component to blame for causing the Court's significant delay in releasing the opinion. I refuse, however, to make this assumption myself ever since I rightly predicted Justice Kennedy to author Salazar v. Buono, but ate my words about what side he'd come down on. Of course, Stevens may be more predictable than Kennedy, but I'm too spooked to hazard even the safest guess for this case in a very unfamiliar field. I'll leave that to these guys.
If Stevens is not the author, I have a backup prediction: the long wait for this case means that he has crafted a lead dissent out of a majority opinion he lost in the drafting process.
2 Responses
"First, Stevens and Thomas are the only two justices yet to author a majority opinion from the November sitting". Does that mean from a hearing just in November? Thomas has authored opinions from October and December hearings.
Although, I think Stevens is a good guess.
[…] on major federalism, Second Amendment, and church-and-state cases, as well as a very long-awaited patent case that may fundamentally affect that field's […]

Graduate School Advising
For many graduate programs, faculty are the best resource for advising about particular programs and universities. Middlebury also has specific advisers for some pre-professional areas:
- Architectural Studies
- Education Studies
- Engineering
- Health Professions
- Pre-Law
Advisers at CCI also provide general advice about graduate school, including how to identify degree programs, plan the application process, and funding possibilities. See full information on our Graduate School page.
Letters of Recommendation (Credential Files)
We recommend that students use Interfolio, an online system that streamlines the process of maintaining and sending references. Because employers and graduate schools must receive sensitive credentials information from applicants in a secure and convenient way (i.e., transcripts—official or unofficial, writing samples, letters of reference—confidential or open, examples of work, awards/certificates/proof of graduation, or other documents), we have established Interfolio as the official online service for maintaining Middlebury students' files. To use Interfolio, students need to create an account that they manage themselves.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The No. 21 Birmingham-Southern baseball team lost at home Wednesday evening to Hampden-Sydney College, losing 10-1 at Striplin Field.
BSC falls to 12-3, while the Tigers move to 15-3.
HSC opened the game with a run in the top of the first, and proceeded to score in the next three innings as well, quickly pulling out to a 9-0 lead before the Panthers finally got on the board in the bottom of the fourth. After sophomore Taylor McCracken singled to lead off, he stole second and went to third on a single by senior Evan Grovenstein before scoring on a fielder's choice RBI from junior Jacob Mayfield. The Tigers added one more run in the top of the seventh while holding BSC scoreless the rest of the way.
Sophomore Kyle Royalty (0-1) started and took the loss after throwing three innings and giving up eight hits and three earned runs with two strikeouts. Freshman Ryan Gaines, sophomore Wilson Jamison, freshman Stephen Himic, junior David Bourbonnais, and freshman Jack Rhodes also saw time on the mound.
McCracken and senior Jeremy Hatley went 2-4 at the plate to lead BSC, collecting six hits as a team. The Tigers got 14 hits, led by Hunter Lewis who was 4-5.
The Panthers are at home this weekend hosting a three-game Southern Athletic Association series against Hendrix College. Games are Friday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
