Safari in OS X Mavericks brings you all-new ways to find and enjoy the best of the web. It works with iCloud to give you a seamless browsing experience across all your devices. It looks out for your privacy. It loads content incredibly fast. And with amazing power-saving technologies that let you browse longer than with other browsers, Safari is simply the smartest way to surf.
Share anything you come across on the web without leaving Safari. Just click the Share button, then choose how you want to send it off. Share web pages using Mail or Messages. Tweet them or post them on Facebook. And even add comments and locations. A single sign-on sets up Facebook and Twitter for Safari, so you only need to log in once.
Safari has advanced power-saving technologies built in. So you can do all the things you want to do on the web, without worrying about draining your battery.
Safari takes advantage of power-saving technologies such as App Nap, which puts background Safari tabs into a low-power state until you start using them again. In addition, Safari Power Saver conserves battery life by intelligently pausing web videos and other plug‑in content when they're not front and center on the web pages you visit. All told, Safari on OS X Mavericks lets you browse up to an hour longer than with Chrome or Firefox.1
Power-saving technologies let you browse longer compared with Chrome and Firefox.1
Memory management technologies help Safari — and the rest of your system — stay responsive.2
Privacy isn't just something you should hope for — it's something you should expect. That's why advanced privacy features are built right into Safari. By default, it blocks third-party cookies and other data that could be used to follow you around the web. And it can even ask sites not to track you.
Third-party data and cookie blocking.
The web pages you visit often leave cookies from third-party websites. These cookies can be used to track where you go on the web, target you with ads, or create a profile of your online activities. Safari was the first browser to block these cookies by default. And now it's the only browser that prevents third-party websites from leaving data in your cache, local storage, or databases by default.
Private Browsing.
To help keep your browsing your business, Safari offers Private Browsing. Simply turn it on, and Safari stops adding the sites you visit to your history. It also stops storing your searches and the data in online forms you fill out.
Do Not Track.
Safari supports an emerging privacy standard called Do Not Track. Just enable this setting, and sites you visit are asked not to track you. Safari also automatically sends Do Not Track requests when you use Private Browsing.
Safari uses sophisticated technologies to warn you if a site is fraudulent or may be harmful to your Mac. And if you happen to come across malicious code on the web, Safari can keep it from affecting the rest of your system. In other words, Safari helps keep your Mac out of harm's way. Automatically.
Protection from harmful sites.
Safari helps protect you against fraudulent Internet sites and those that harbor malware — before you visit them. If a website looks suspicious, Safari prevents it from loading and warns you.
Built to keep threats contained.
Sandboxing provides built-in protection against malicious code and malware by restricting what websites can do. And because Safari runs web pages in separate processes, harmful code in a page is confined to a single browser tab, so it can't crash the whole browser or access your data.
Added security for plug-ins.
PDFs and widely used plug-ins like Adobe Flash Player, Silverlight, QuickTime, and Oracle Java are sandboxed in Safari, which protects your system from harm should those plug-ins be exploited. For added security, you can even choose to run only certain plug-ins on trusted websites you select.
With iCloud, your passwords, bookmarks, tabs, and Reading List are always up to date on all your devices. So whether you're using your Mac, iPhone, or iPad, you'll always have what you need.
The Nitro JavaScript engine in Safari takes advantage of the multiple processing cores on your Mac, reducing lag time as you surf the web. Safari adapts to the web pages you visit and selects the fastest way to execute JavaScript, so browsing is faster and more responsive.
Safari is built on WebKit, an industry leader in web standards. And it has powerful built-in tools, like Web Inspector, that let developers create advanced web applications.
Safari is built on WebKit, the open source rendering engine that powers the web browsing experience on over 1.5 billion devices worldwide. It was the first browser to support advanced media standards like the HTML5 audio and video tags. And it continues to support technologies that enable innovation on the web.
Web Inspector.
Web Inspector is your command center, giving you quick and easy access to the richest set of development tools ever included in a web browser. And Web Inspector now has a streamlined new look and even more built-in web development tools for building and debugging your website. Learn more

27-year-old Miss USA 2002 has now taken on the role of Ambassador for Christian Children's Fund aka Child Fund. A formerly sponsored child, herself, actress Shauntay Hinton, grew up knowing what it was like to have someone who really cared. "I have a personal connection to these kids because of what I've been through, myself."
Watching TV while she was younger, she was enthralled with Access Hollywood and was determined to somehow get on there. She wanted to be on their red carpet. "I hit the ground running." It was that desire which motivated her to run for Miss District of Columbia. She then ran and won Miss USA -- the second African American woman to do so.
Shauntay likes to roll up her sleeves and get involved with a variety of projects.
Also an ambassador with Chrysalis, the organization helping women to get back on their feet, Shauntay helps them with interview and resume skills. "I firmly believe in teaching a man to fish rather than giving them the fish. The program appeals to me because we are teaching life skills and making the lives of these women better."
A spokesperson for Aura - a breast and ovarian cancer center, she focuses on encouraging women to get regular check ups.
Helping the homeless and encouraging those with mental illness, is another of her favorite causes and is close to her heart because her father, mentally ill and homeless, was never found.
Born in Starkville, Mississippi, the actress has appeared in numerous shows. Regularly appearing on Nickelodeon's iCarly, she finds herself identifying with the kids. She's also been a regular appearing with award winner Idris Elba (Milk & Honey) and performed various other gigs. Her favorite thing, however, is hosting.
Right now she has her own show on Channel 38, HZN - Headline News - a sister station of CNN. There she speaks on pageantry and entertainment. She also works with Wills TV where she co-hosts a spot on the latest in cars. This later show is presented by autotrader.com. On the Travel Network, she hosts a show called Fine Living. In this, she goes to all the big cities to explore off the beaten track adventures.
Her other goals include working on becoming a fitness expert. Eventually, she would like to own her own gym. "I think of all the hard work and training I had to put in while I was running for Miss USA. While it was stressful and interesting, my favorite part was the swim suit competition.
She never has yet been on Access Hollywood, but she certainly has done a lot of good with her short life.
You can twitter her at MissUSA2002 or call 323.632.6867 or imdb http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1185137/, Her reel can be seen at

Reifies list filling all the valid holeMap.
Reifies list filling all the valid holeMap.
Reification of non-trivial list is done in two steps:
2. fold the groups into a sequence of lists added together with ++ using fill reification for holeMap and fallback reification for non-holeMap.
reifyHighRankList(lst) { // first we define patterns that extract high-rank holeMap (currently ..) case Placeholder(IterableType(_, _)) => tree } { // in the end we define how single elements are reified, typically with default reify call reify(_) }
Sample execution of previous concrete list reifier:
> val lst = List(foo, bar, qq$f3948f9s$1) > reifyHighRankList(lst) { ... } { ... } q"List($foo, $bar) ++ ${holeMap(qq$f3948f9s$1).tree}"

Makes sense of cross-stage bindings.
Makes sense of cross-stage bindings.
Analysis of cross-stage bindings becomes convenient if we introduce the notion of metalevels. Metalevel of a tree is a number that gets incremented every time you reify something and gets decremented when you splice something. Metalevel of a symbol is equal to the metalevel of its definition.
Example 1. Consider the following snippet:
reify { val x = 2 // metalevel of symbol x is 1, because it's declared inside reify val y = reify{x} // metalevel of symbol y is 1, because it's declared inside reify // metalevel of Ident(x) is 2, because it's inside two reifies y.splice // metalevel of Ident(y) is 0, because it's inside a designator of a splice }
Cross-stage bindings are introduced when symbol.metalevel != curr_metalevel. Both bindings introduced in Example 1 are cross-stage.
Depending on what side of the inequality is greater, the following situations might occur:
1) symbol.metalevel < curr_metalevel. In this case reifier will generate a free variable that captures both the name of the symbol (to be compiled successfully) and its value (to be run successfully). For example, x in Example 1 will be reified as follows: Ident(newFreeVar("x", IntTpe, x))
2) symbol.metalevel > curr_metalevel. This leads to a metalevel breach that violates intuitive perception of splicing. As defined in macro spec, splicing takes a tree and inserts it into another tree - as simple as that. However, how exactly do we do that in the case of y.splice? In this very scenario we can use dataflow analysis and inline it, but what if y were a var, and what if it were calculated randomly at runtime?
This question has a genuinely simple answer. Sure, we cannot resolve such splices statically (i.e. during macro expansion of
but now we have runtime toolboxes, so noone stops us from picking up that reified tree and evaluating it at runtime
(in fact, this is something that
Expr.splice does transparently).
This is akin to early vs late binding dilemma. The prior is faster, plus, the latter (implemented with reflection) might not work because of visibility issues or might be not available on all platforms. But the latter still has its uses, so I'm allowing metalevel breaches, but introducing the -Xlog-runtime-evals to log them.
upd. We no longer do that. In case of a runaway
splice inside a
reify, one will get a static error.
Why? Unfortunately, the cute idea of transparently converting between static and dynamic splices has failed.
1) Runtime eval that services dynamic splices requires scala-compiler.jar, which might not be on library classpath
2) Runtime eval incurs a severe performance penalty, so it'd better to be explicit about it
As we can see, the only problem is the fact that lhs'es of
splice can be code blocks that can capture variables from the outside.
Code inside the lhs of an
splice is not reified, while the code from the enclosing reify is.
Hence some bindings become cross-stage, which is not bad per se (in fact, some cross-stage bindings have sane semantics, as in the example above). However this affects freevars, since they are delicate inter-dimensional beings that refer to both current and next planes of existence. When splicing tears the fabric of the reality apart, some freevars have to go single-dimensional to retain their sanity.
Example 2. Consider the following snippet:
reify { val x = 2 reify{x}.splice }
Since the result of the inner reify is wrapped in a splice, it won't be reified together with the other parts of the outer reify, but will be inserted into that result verbatim.
The inner reify produces an Expr[Int] that wraps Ident(freeVar("x", IntTpe, x)). However the freevar the reification points to will vanish when the compiler processes the outer reify. That's why we need to replace that freevar with a regular symbol that will point to reified x.
Example 3. Consider the following fragment:
reify { val x = 2 val y = reify{x} y.splice }
In this case the inner reify doesn't appear next to splice, so it will be reified together with x. This means that no special processing is needed here.
Example 4. Consider the following fragment:
reify { val x = 2 { val y = 2 val z = reify{reify{x + y}} z.splice }.splice }
The reasoning from Example 2 still holds here - we do need to inline the freevar that refers to x. However, we must not touch anything inside the splice'd block, because it's not getting reified.

When untangling reifier symbol tables from the reifier itself, I discovered that encoding of a symbol table (e.g. producing corresponding reificode) might cause subsequent reification (e.g. when filling in signatures and annotations for syms).
This is a mess in the face of nested reifications, splices and inlining of thereof,
so I made
SymbolTable immutable, which brought a significant amount of sanity.
However that wasn't enough. Sure, symbol table became immutable, but the reifier still needed
to mutate its
symtab field during reification. This caused nasty desyncs between the table being encoded
and the table of the underlying reifier, so I decided to encapsulate the entire state here,
so that encoding can backup the state before it starts and restore it after it completes.

Being Light in the Midst of Financial Darkness
Michael CravenMichael Craven's weblog
- 2008 Oct 27
As I discussed last week, the first step toward freedom from consumer debt and financial profligacy is a transfer of trust in financial security (a fallacy) to trust in the Sovereign God. Once freed from dependence upon temporal things, we together—the Body of Christ—can seek first the kingdom (Matt. 6:33) rather than remain isolated in the illusory construction of our own individual enterprises that can crumble in an instant.
Might the looming financial downturn (to be optimistic) or economic meltdown (to be extreme), offer the church a unique opportunity to bear witness to a watching world? I think so.
Throughout history there have been extraordinary events in which the Christian community has stood in stark contrast to the world, offering hope and pointing to the truth of a providential God. Such a time may be upon us and so the question occurs: will we be ready?
If we are to be ready, we must first come together in consciously Christian community—mutual cooperation—to prepare and plan, the way God used Joseph to prepare and plan for the coming famine. Mutual cooperation of a sacrificial nature may be the American church's greatest challenge.
Modern Americans are so radically individualized that we scarcely comprehend much less embrace the corporate and communal nature of being Christian. The apostle Paul stresses that the Gentiles, who were once alienated from "the commonwealth of Israel," have been brought near "by the blood of Christ" that "he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross" (Eph. 2:12–13, 15–16, ESV). (Emphasis mine.) There is a corporate sense to God's redemptive plan that carries forward from national Israel to form a new covenant people (the church) out of both the Jew and Gentile into the new Israel.
At the conclusion of chapter two Paul writes, "Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit" (Eph. 2:20–22, ESV). (Emphasis mine.) Again, Scripture emphasizes the corporate nature of God's redemptive plan.
I have mentioned before—and it bears repeating—this community is not merely the social gathering of a people with common values, but rather a people who display proof of God's redemptive work in the world. This proof flows forth from converted individuals whose supernatural transformation is authenticated through their interaction with each other. This community, the church, is intended to bear testimony to the truth of Jesus by demonstrating fellowship with God and each other—a community of self-sacrificing love and support that stands in contrast to the fallen world by living under the radically different values of the kingdom. Jesus himself established this as the authenticating fact of our faith when he said "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35, ESV). Was this not the preeminent testimony of the first century church in which "they had all things in common?"
When the Bible speaks of having "all things in common" and giving to "each as anyone had need," the writers were referring to material provisions (see Acts 4:32, 35). All earthly things are the possessions of God: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein" (Psalm 24:1, ESV). Men are mere stewards of what belongs to the Lord and should share the gifts of His creation with one another as much as they can. Some may suggest that in this, the Bible advocates socialism; however socialism is a compulsory redistribution of wealth coerced by government, whereas Christian charity is voluntary, done out of love of neighbor and in obedience to God. Christianity is completely opposed to the forced redistribution of wealth.
What are some practical ways in which the modern church might prepare for and live out these principles? Certainly the establishment and maintenance of a mercy fund is essential for meeting the needs of the congregation. However, today such funds often represent meager giving out of our abundance, spare change thrown in the plate. But the Christian is called upon to share what he has with the needy in the same way as the poor widow of the gospel—not out of his abundance, but out of his need. And he must do so cheerfully and not reluctantly, secretly and not for the praise of men.
Mercy funds are the modern equivalent of almsgiving to provide for the poor and needy, and this, of course, would include the unemployed. Giving alms, therefore, must be a sacrificial act if it is to have any spiritual value. One cannot give merely what is left over when all his own needs are satisfied. One must take from oneself and give to others. In the tradition of the church it is the teaching that what one saves through fasting and self-denial should not be kept for one's own security but should be given away to help those in need. This is what the Roman world saw among the first century Christians. So strange was this generosity that the Romans referred to these Christians as the "third race."
Such was the command of Mosaic law as well: "If there is among you a poor man, one of your brethren, in any of your towns within your land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him, and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be" (Deuteronomy 15:7–8).
As modern Christians—perhaps the wealthiest in history—are we prepared to make such sacrifices, to pool our resources and give freely to those in need, perhaps in greater measure than ever before in our lives? This may be what we are called upon to do and should be preparing for.
This preparation should include practical steps for the building up of our mercy funds and ministries. Perhaps churches could set up and manage their own online eBay stores. This would facilitate the selling of donated items from the congregation with proceeds being deposited into the mercy fund. Food pantries could begin to receive and store nonperishable food items. More faith-based credit unions could be established by various churches and denominations, offering cooperative banking services at typically better interest rates and more conservative financial practices than commercial banks.
Think of the collective creative potential in the church that could be brought to bear on meeting a multitude of needs if we made such ministry a priority. In addition, our preparation should include preaching and teaching on the words of Jesus, which remain forever valid and true:
. . the poor you will always have with you. But you will not always have me . . . if you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, and follow me. (Mark 14:7, NIV; Matthew 19:21, ESV)
The Christian who seeks perfection—as the Father in heaven is perfect—is the one who gives all for the sake of others, in the name of Christ, with Him, and for His sake. This is the radical nature of the kingdom. May this kingdom come forth as the one built on sand begins to crumble!

Last fall, eyeballs got seriously smacked by the neon-flecked awesome of Nitronic Rush, an arcade racer built by students at DigiPen. Some of those same developers are making a spiritual sequel to that game called Distance.
You can really see the beginnings of a stronger approach to the same gameplay idea in this pre-alpha trailer. Distance looks a good deal prettier and shows off some clever touches like a more detailed gameworld and flying/gliding sequences. I especially like having the HUD on the car itself, as it's a nice way to keep the screen uncluttered and let the art direction shine. If you like what you see, head over to the Kickstarter page for Distance and offer up what your heart dictates.

None of the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster should be blamed for their tragic deaths, a coroner has said, which bereaved relatives welcomed as ''music to our ears''.
Lord Justice Goldring today laid out key questions facing jurors in the fresh inquests into how the fans died, including how other supporters behaved.
He said: ''What was the conduct of the fans or some of them, excluding those who died, and did that play any part in the disaster? I phrase it in that way because I don't believe anyone will suggest that the conduct of those who died in any way contributed to their deaths. ''
Speaking outside court, Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, said: ''It's absolutely great. We've always known that for 25 years.
''We've had a lot of mud thrown at us for 25 years. It's nice to hear the coroner say that. To hear that officially from Lord Justice Goldring was really music to our ears.''
Britain's worst sporting disaster unfolded when hundreds of fans were crushed at the FA Cup semi-final between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool on April 15 1989.
Today, on the third day of the new inquests into the deaths of the 96 supporters who were killed, the jury heard that police accounts of what happened that day were changed, with critical comments about police leadership and fans removed.
Officers from South Yorkshire had been asked to write their own accounts of what happened, and then senior ranks and lawyers for the force altered some of the statements before they were passed to West Midlands Police, which was investigating the tragedy.
The coroner said: ''Over the years between 1989 and today it has become known that a large number of statements were amended in the review. The amendments vary in type and significance.
''Some simply involve corrections of language and factual error. Others involve removing expletives.
''A number involved the removal of comments criticising the police leadership on the day of the disaster.
''Others were of deletions of passages denouncing poor and defective radio communications.
''A small number were amended to remove comments which were critical or even abusive of the fans at the match.''
Lord Justice Goldring said the jury of seven women and four men would have to consider whether the amendments affect their view of the ''reliability'' of early written statements given by the officers.
He said: ''You will have to give some consideration to the amendments which were made to some of the statements.
''Among the questions which you may consider are these. Do the amendments affect your view of the reliability of these early written accounts given by the officers, an account on which he may be heavily reliant after 25 years? Why was the amendment made? Was it made for innocent and perfectly understandable reasons? Or was it part of a policy of blaming fans in order to deflect criticism from police?
''Do the amendments throw any light on the crucial question, how those who came to die did so?''
He outlined the series of inquiries that have already taken place into the disaster, including the previous inquests where the coroner took the ''highly controversial'' decision that those who died were beyond help after 3.15pm.
More recently, the Hillsborough Independent Panel was set up and issued a final report in 2012.
Lord Justice Goldring said: ''Any views they expressed are irrelevant as far as you are concerned, what the panel said can't be evidence for you to consider. You will hear more information than did the panel. The panel heard no evidence, you, of course, will.''
On November 19, 2012 the original inquest verdicts were quashed. The jury, sitting in a court in a specially-fitted office block in Warrington, Cheshire, was told that two investigations are being carried out into the aftermath of the disaster, one led by police, called Operation Resolve, and one headed by watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The coroner said: ''The fact that the IPCC is involved should not be taken as an indication that any police officer necessarily did anything wrong.
''The IPCC is the body which carries out investigations into the police. It is for you to reach your determinations in respect of the actions of the police and others on the evidence you hear.''
Jurors were sent away until tomorrow, when a series of ''pen portraits'' of the fans who died will begin to be read to the court.

WASHINGTON— The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor/HHS "took a first, urgently needed step toward upholding rights of conscience and religious freedom in our health care system," by including two key provisions in its appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2013, according to the chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston welcomed the inclusion of the Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (ANDA, HR 361) and the policy of the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (HR 1179) in the appropriations bill, July 18, saying it will "strengthen federal protections for health care providers who decline to take part in abortions, and will ensure that the Affordable Care Act allows Americans to purchase health coverage without being forced to abandon their deeply held religious and moral convictions on matters such as abortion and sterilization."
Cardinal DiNardo expressed gratitude to subcommittee chairman Representative Denny Rehberg (R-MT) for his leadership in sponsoring the conscience provisions when he introduced this bill, adding, "The Catholic community and many others concerned about religious freedom will work hard to ensure that these protections are enacted into law."The Labor/HHS bill must be approved by the full House Appropriations Committee, then the House of Representatives, before it can be sent to the Senate for further action.
In a July 17 letter, Cardinal DiNardo had urged the subcommittee to include both provisions in the appropriations bill. ANDA, he wrote, would codify the Hyde/Weldon amendment, a longstanding part of this appropriations bill that prevents government discrimination against health care providers who decline participation in abortion.
"Instances of discrimination against pro-life health care providers continue to emerge, and some states implementing the Affordable Care Act have begun to claim that they can force all private health plans on their exchanges to cover elective abortion as an 'essential health benefit,'" Cardinal DiNardo wrote. "By closing loopholes and providing victims of discrimination with a 'private right of action' to defend their rights in court, Sec. 538 will provide urgently needed relief."
Cardinal DiNardo said the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act, which is sponsored by 224 House members and supported by nearly half the Senate, should be incorporated into the bill to counter "the most direct federal threat to religious freedom in recent memory" – the HHS mandate for all private health plans, even those sponsored by most religious organizations, to include sterilization and contraceptives, including drugs that can cause an early abortion. He added that this provision leaves in place all existing legal protections against discriminatory withholding of health care, only allowing "an opt-out on moral or religious grounds from the new benefits mandates to be created for the first time by the Affordable Care Act itself."

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) described the founding of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville as "the last act of usefulness I can render" to the new nation.¹ After leaving Washington, D.C. in 1809, Jefferson resumed his advocacy for a cause that had occupied his thoughts since before the American Revolution, the implementation of a state-wide system of education in Virginia that would insure the education of the common man rather than just the elite of the state. He joined a group interested in founding an academy in Charlottesville, Virginia, near his home at Monticello. Jefferson expanded the project to the establishment of a private college, Central College, which was chartered in 1816.
Although the Virginia Legislature refused to fund a general plan for primary and secondary education, it finally approved $15,000 in 1818 to establish a state university. The governor appointed Jefferson to the Rockfish Gap Commission which was responsible for selecting a site for the university, choosing plans, and executing them. After debating the issue, the commission confirmed Jefferson's Charlottesville college project to be the site of the new university. The Legislature named and chartered the University of Virginia on January 25, 1819. It finally opened on March 7, 1825, although construction on the Rotunda and other projects continued after Jefferson's death on July 4, 1826.¹Andrew Lipscomb and Albert Bergh, editors, The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 20 Volumes, (Washington, D.C.: 1903-1904), 15:326.

Defenders investigation: Yelp reportedly filters out positive reviews
Local business owner upset at practice
SAN ANTONIO – Local business owner Mark Mullis, of Lone Star Tile & Grout, said his business is taking a hit because the online review company Yelp has been filtering out his positive reviews.
"What their customer service folks are telling me on the phone is, 'Mark, we don't know that you're not actually putting those customer service reviews online yourself,'" Mullis said.
Yelp spokeswoman Kristen Whisenand told the Defenders that one of the Lone Star Tile & Grout reviews was written by Mullis.
As for the other seven positive reviews that have been filtered out, Mullis insists they are actual customers who are more than satisfied.
"I can verify with you. I can give you orders, work orders that are signed by the customer," Mullis said.
Customer Richie Valadez said Mullis requested he write a review, but only if he was happy with the work.
Valadez was pleased with the work done by Lone Star Tile & Grout, but unhappy with the way Yelp filters reviews, including the one he wrote himself.
"Reviews are great, they should be unfiltered -- both good and bad," Valadez said.
Out of nine Lone Star reviews, one is negative and it is the only one that is not filtered, resulting in a two-star review for Mullis' company.
Whisenand said Yelp uses an algorithm in an effort to filter out reviews that are not authentic. It is a strategy she said many of her customers appreciate.
She also explained the filtered reviews are accessible.
"There is a spot at the bottom that says, 'Click here for filtered reviews.' However, it also says, 'These reviews do not add any weight to the score," Valadez said.
Mullis also noticed Yelp began soliciting his advertising business several months back when his five-star rating dropped to two stars.
"They didn't say it out right, but they implied that if I paid them $400 or $500 a month to do paid advertising with them, that most likely we'll see the good reviews," Mullis said.
Whisenand insists the algorithms have nothing to do with advertising, but she did say businesses that pay for advertising will have their business placed above other listings in the same category.
She also noted is it not a perfect system, but with 84 million monthly visitors, it is a popular one.

In the two speeches that make up this book, Joel uses an agricultural crisis to measure his audience's knowledge of its God, warn them of a worse disaster if they ignore his preaching, and express his conviction that all faithful Judahites would someday enjoy a secure future. Although the superscription, or title (1:1), does not place Joel's preaching or the book's composition in a specific historical context, internal evidence favors a postexilic date for its composition, probably 450–400 B.C. This evidence includes: Joel's reliance on an established, possibly written, prophetic tradition; the existence of an organized temple liturgy; the dominance of priests and the absence of a king; and vocabulary characteristic of later material like Chronicles and Zechariah.
Inadequate winter rains and a spring locust infestation have devastated Judah's grain fields, vineyards, and orchards. Because the people carry on with business as usual, unaware that this crisis is the work of the Lord in their midst, Joel fears that the Lord may soon deliver a death blow by withholding the rains that normally fall in the late autumn. However, Joel's efforts to avert this crisis are successful. The first speech ends with Joel's assurance that at the end of the next agricultural year the people will enjoy a superabundant harvest.
The second speech begins with a summary description (chap. 3) of the prophet's hope that Judah's God will one day destroy its enemies and make Jerusalem secure once and for all. This divine intervention will create a more inclusive community, cutting across boundaries of gender, class, and age. In Peter's first public speech at Pentecost (Acts 2:16–21), the author uses Jl 3:1–5 to announce the formation of such a community among Christians in Jerusalem and the proximity of the day of the Lord. The rest of Joel's second speech (chap. 4) uses the imagery of drought and locusts from the first speech and introduces the metaphor of a grape harvest and wine making to describe the attack of the Lord's heavenly army on Judah's enemies. In the renewal of Judah's hillsides by the winter rains, the prophet sees the revitalization of the people because the Lord dwells with them.
The Book of Joel may be divided as follows:

Nozzle propellers are used in many types of ships and for dynamic positioning of platforms. Their operation at high thrust loadings and low inflow velocities requires high-tech designs. SVA Potsdam specializes in these propulsion systems and is investing in continuous research to ensure that its designs meet expectations.
The flow in the gap between the propeller tip and the inside wall of the nozzle strongly influences the performance of the propeller, and the greater the thrust loadings, the greater the influence. CFD allows visualization of these flows, which are difficult to study experimentally because the gap can be less than one millimeter. Unfortunately, the required computational effort increases rapidly as the thrust loading increases (due to slower convergence as the rotational speed of the propeller increases), and we have realized that combining experimental and numerical investigations can overcome the shortcomings of each method. The experimental data provide a good overview of the forces and moments for the whole range of operational conditions, while CFD reveals the detail of the flow for selected loadings.

What are people's thoughts on him ?
I read that during the Motera test, he picked up his 350th test wicket.
Is he one of the finest spinners the game has seen ? Yet, his
figures show a large discrepancy between his performance at home and abroad.
I think abroad, he averages about 36 compared to 25 at home.
I'm a little puzzled as to why India haven't drafted young MIshra
into their squad as the replacement(probably should within a year if not immediately) for Kumble.
I saw Mishra in action for India A against RSA in England this year.
This kid really gives it a rip - not since Warne circa 93 have I seen a wrist spinner turn it that much. Certainly not from the likes of Stuey McGill, Mustaq, Kaneria, Kumble and Hogg.
I can see Amit Mishra being a huge weapon for India if they pick him -- even on overseas tracks.
Unlike Kumble he has the turn and the variation to be dangerous anywhere.

SALISBURY — Unless negotiations are resolved this winter, Piedmont Airlines flight attendants say they are drawing a line in the sand and willing to strike for a better contract.
Headquartered in Salisbury, Piedmont Airlines is a subsidiary of US Airways and conducts roughly 440 daily departures to 55 cities. It is the only carrier at the Salisbury-Ocean City-Wicomico Regional Airport to offer daily services. If a new contract isn't forthcoming in the immediate future, flight attendants are promising to literally "create havoc" with the airline's flight schedule.
"It's not your traditional strike where everybody goes out all at once and you stay out," said Local Council President for the Piedmont flight attendants Anita Jwanoukos. "We just pick and choose certain flights, and we're creating havoc around the system."
The strategy even has its own acronym, CHAOS, which stands for "Create Havoc Around Our System." CHAOS, explained attendant Paula Donalds, is an accurate term since the strike will be completely random and designed to be impossible to plan around.
"It could be the whole system for an hour or it could be just a flight here or there intermittently, very sporadic, very element of surprise," she said.
CHAOS could also mean striking for the entire day everywhere or only specific locations, such as the Salisbury-Ocean City-Wicomico Regional Airport, added Jwanoukos. The point is to cause as much disruption as possible until Piedmont decides that the loss of customers is more expensive than a new contract. According to Donalds, interfering with customer's flights and travel plans is not something the attendants do lightly, but is the only thing they feel will get Piedmont to pay attention.
As for their actual demands, Jwanoukos said that there isn't an extraordinary difference between their current contract and what they hope to negotiate with the airline.
"A cost of living raise is the big thing to bring us up to where we can at least get some of our flight attendants off food stamps," Donalds said. "Get them to where they can go ahead and make a decent wage to support a family. That's basically what we're looking at and asking for."
The problem is bad for veteran employees, said Donalds, but can be even worse for new attendants, such as Matt Lauren.
"Between student loans and stuff, it's tough," he said. "You know the first couple of years you can pay your bills and that's it."
Lauren also alleged that sometimes attendants are working 12-13-hour days while only being paid for roughly half of that. Donalds echoed him and said that people don't realize all of the "behind the scenes" work that the attendants do pre- and post-flight.
Even if a cost of living pay increase is agreed on, Donalds said that she worries the airline will demand attendants pay a greater share of their benefits, which could leave pay checks smaller than they were prior to any raise.
"Health insurance is another issue the company has with us. We like our health insurance the way it is," she said. "They want to try to raise it further."
Scheduling is also a problem right now, said attendant Megan Quigley.
"It seems like feast or famine. You're either working eight flights a day or two," she said.
According to Jwanoukos, the attendants have been struggling to get a new contract since 2009, which was itself an extended contract from earlier in the decade.
"We got the contract in 2001; it was a three-year contract," she said. "But then they had the bankruptcy in 2003 so then they extended it to 2009. So that's not normally how long they are. It's usually three to five years."
Management has not been flexible in negotiations since both sides began mediation in August 2011, claimed Jwanoukos.
"Dodge, divert, delay, excuses — you name it and they've come up with it," she said.
US Airways Media Spokesperson Andrew Christie, however, said that the airline continues to negotiate in good faith and hopes for a resolution without any loss of service to customers.
"This is a normal course of action during negotiations and is not indicative of any potential work stoppage," he said in an emailed statement. "Piedmont Airlines and the AFA (Association of Flight Attendants) continue to be in negotiations with the assistance of the National Mediation Board. We value our flight attendants' professionalism and dedication and look forward to continued negotiations with AFA."
All involved are now waiting to see if the National Mediation Board (NMB) will allow the attendants to strike. Because of the Railroad Labor Act, which also governs airlines, the attendants have to wait until the board releases them into a 30-day "cooling off period" before they are legally permitted to strike. If the NMB does release them and no contract is settled during the "cooling-off period", then the attendants are free to engage in CHAOS as they see fit. According to a statement from the AFA, release by the board could happen at any time.

PSU professor brings chemistry to art conservation in Olympic Sculpture Park project
Fieldwork at Seattle Art Museum's sculpture park now underway
An innovative field project led by a Portland State University (PSU) chemist and the Seattle Art Museum will help museums better prepare and preserve valuable outdoor sculptures.
Tami Lasseter Clare, an assistant professor of chemistry at PSU and director of the Regional Laboratory for the Science of Cultural Heritage Conservation, is working with Nicholas Dorman, chief conservator and Liz Brown, associate conservator from Seattle Art Museum's (SAM) Conservation Department to develop new methods of analyzing and diagnosing anti-corrosion coatings on outdoor artwork at Olympic Sculpture Park.
MEDIA ALERT: Researchers will be available for interviews at SAM's Olympic Sculpture Park August 16–17, 2012.
Coatings provide the last line of defense for outdoor artwork—preserving the patina (coloring) of the piece, while protecting it from weathering and air pollution. But without methods of chemical analysis, assessing the quality of these coatings has had to rely on visual inspections, looking for signs of rust or "weeping" to indicate that the coating has degraded and needs to be reapplied.
"But at that point, the house has already burned down," Clare says. To preserve these pieces, diagnosis must occur earlier.
A Seattle native, Clare (pictured, left) is working with pieces at the Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Park, a nine-acre site in downtown Seattle adjacent to Puget Sound. She and her team are using a novel approach to electrochemical testing (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), which typically requires artwork to be conductive and wired to instrumentation at an uncoated region of the artwork.
Clare's team will fabricate and use surface-mounted electrodes that can be quickly attached and cleanly removed, allowing for rapid and routine on-site evaluation of these protective coatings, and leading to more effective preservation techniques. This diagnostic tool will be transferrable to any museum in the world and customizable to specific art pieces.
"As art conservators we are always searching for new methods and techniques which allow us to understand the mechanism of deterioration and thus treat the artworks in a preventive rather than reactionary manner. A diagnostic tool such as this would provide wonderful method of evaluating deterioration before a coating shows visible signs of failure. We are also excited by the opportunity to engage the public through signage this summer regarding this interesting exploration of art and science," says SAM associate conservator, Liz Brown
The three-year project, funded through a $420,000 National Science Foundation grant (NSF Award #11139230) comes at a time when new environmental and air quality regulations have restricted the use of traditional coatings for art and architectural conservation in outdoor settings, which contain solvents. That's forcing adoption of water-based coatings that must protect the physical integrity of structures as well as aesthetic qualities, such as color, even though they remain largely untested in such applications.
"You can't use a work of art as your field test," Clare says. That's part of her rationale for a related project with the Philadelphia Art Museum, where she previously worked as a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow, and funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Clare is developing clear coatings for outdoor metalwork, such as iron and bronze, that will meet new environmental and air quality standards and that will have a 50-year lifespan. https://www.pdx.edu/clarelab/federally-compliant-protective-clear-coating...
These techniques and materials may have additional application for high-performance coatings used in architecture, aerospace engineering, buildings and bridges, affecting maintenance of infrastructure such as buildings and bridges.
Established by Tami Lasseter Clare, assistant professor of chemistry at Portland State University, the lab studies newly emerging technologies, such as those in nanomaterials chemistry, to advance cultural heritage preservation practices through better diagnostics and materials.
Clare's team works to improve performance, reduce environmental impact and facilitate the commercialization of new materials, making them accepted and available for use by conservators worldwide. The lab supports and collaborates with conservators of artistic and historic works throughout the Pacific Northwest, providing a suite of analytical instruments unparalleled in the region. Recent projects include:

For example, the above stream plays, however only shoutcast metadata is used to name the stream i.e. Aloha Joa - Relaxation Island is ignored. The same issue occurs with my other streams also.
I have also tried exporting the playlist from iTunes in various formats: m3u,m3u8,xml and txt. Interestingly, iTunes exports files in a "Classic Mac" format with CR's but not LF's at the end of each line. Even after correcting this in Text Wrangler, there is no change.
Any thoughts?
Would this be a simple change to implement?ejurgensen wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 6:02 pmYes, Shoutcast metadata wins over the m3u tags. I don't recall have changed this, I think it has been that way for quite some time. Did you notice from what version you have noticed a change?
In relation to which metadata gets used, the format of the m3u doesn't matter, so I don't quite understand the latter you wrote? Perhaps I have misunderstood the issue?

LANDOVER, Md. -- He limped. He grimaced. He ran to the sideline with the staccato gait of a man missing a shoe, pigeon-toed and flashing teeth. By any reasonable standard, Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III probably shouldn't have been upright, let alone scampering across a slippery, painted-dirt field, attempting and mostly failing to dodge large men with bad intentions.
Of course, football is not a reasonable game.
If you want to understand why Redskins coach Mike Shanahan allowed his quarterback to play for most of a 24-14 NFL wild-card loss to the Seattle Seahawks at FedEx Field, despite an obvious knee injury -- and why Griffin demanded as much -- it helps to start with a story. Once upon a time, there was a player at Eastern Illinois, a Division II school as far from the bright lights and big money of professional football as, well, the surface of Mars. One spring day during a practice scrimmage, the player was speared in the ribs, so hard he could barely breathe. He stayed in the game. Went home. Urinated blood. Began throwing up. He went to the emergency room, where doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong -- because his ruptured kidney had been jammed behind his spine. The player passed out from the pain. His heart stopped. He was revived with a defibrillator. A priest administered last rites. Following kidney removal surgery, his football coach told him he would never play again. He was lucky to be alive.
He responded by petitioning the school to be allowed to suit up.
The player's name? Mike Shanahan.
Following Sunday's Redskins-Seahawks game, even during the game, Twitter was ablaze with outrage. Shock. Fainting-couch incredulity. Why was Griffin playing? Why didn't someone protect his knee, his health, his future in the sport? Griffin had already sprained a knee ligament during a Redskins victory over the Baltimore Ravens last month. He was wearing a brace. He wasn't his speedy, elusive self. He was in obvious pain. Before every snap, the entire stadium seemed to be holding its collective breath. Unable to fully plant his leg, he underthrew a deep pass; after absorbing a late hit, he ducked into a sideline examination room, doctors in tow.
When Griffin's knee twisted gruesomely in the fourth quarter, forcing him out of the game, prompting stunned silence in the building and audible, frightened gasps in the press box, it seemed all but preordained. Recriminations came in real time, most of them directed at Shanahan. Playing Griffin was irresponsible. Barbaric. Gwen Ifill (yes, that Gwen Ifill, even-keeled PBS newscaster and former Vice Presidential debate moderator) simply Tweeted "Fire Shanahan." Hashtag knee. A seemingly reasonable request, at least by OSHA standards, except for one thing.
This is football. It is not a reasonable game. Not even close. Football players come in many shapes and sizes, with varying levels of skill and talent, but all of them do two things: (a) destroy their bodies for their sport and everyone else's amusement; (b) get cut before they have the chance to continue doing so.
Football is a pastime of brain trauma and prescription drug addiction, of heart issues and weight problems, of replacement joints and degenerative arthritis and chronic, lifelong pain. It is a game of violent, intentional collision, not occasional, incidental contact. It is not particularly healthy, and to pretend otherwise -- to express sudden, heartfelt concern for Griffin's physical well-being and disgust at the risk he was taking, without feeling the same thing for every other player on the field at pretty much every moment -- is to be either delusional or blind.
Thing is, players understand this. They harbor few illusions. They know that the oft-cited difference between playing injured and playing hurt -- essentially, between playing through the pain of a current injury that can't get worse, and playing through the pain of a current injury that has a good chance of getting worse while making you a lousy player to boot -- sounds nice in theory but is murky in practice. They also understand that football's central ethos is self-sacrifice, not self-protection, that the game means buckling your seat belt and jamming a Toradol-filled needle into your knee and driving the car straight into a brick wall, because that's the job at hand.
Remember: Griffin wasn't told to stay in the game. He told coaches he was staying in. Afterward, he stood at a podium. He was calm and collected. His tie was smooth, shiny, perfectly-knotted.
He did not call for Shanahan's head.
"I think I did put myself more at risk by being out there," Griffin said. "But every time you step on the football field in between those lines you're putting your life, your career [and] every single ligament in your body in jeopardy. That's just the approach I had to take towards it. My teammates needed me out there, so I was out there for them."
In the Redskins locker room, I watched Griffin get dressed. His movements were slow, deliberate. A semi-circle of reporters gathered around him. He wore pinstriped suit pants; if there was a knee brace underneath, you couldn't see it. Three lockers to the right, Redskins tight end Logan Paulsen sat in a corner, trying to explain why Griffin had played, why he kept playing until he literally couldn't walk.
It's hard, Paulsen said. Hard to take yourself out. Hard to keep any long-term perspective in those short-term moments of pain, when your knees buckle and your body revolts. Coaches expect you to play. Teammates expect you to play. You expect the same. There's a sense of personal responsibility.
When Paulsen was a senior in college, he felt shooting pain in his right foot during spring practice. He played through it. The first game of the season, he suffered a stress fracture in the same foot. He needed surgery, had a screw implanted in his fifth metatarsal. His season was over. Looking back, he says, it was a stupid thing to do. But he doesn't regret it. Paulsen calls football players "cogs," but also cogs in a family. And family is a powerful thing.
"For this week, this game, this is my family," he said. "You don't want to let anybody down. You look at Robert, and even if he would be on fire, you'd think, 'Oh, he would do everything he can to help us win this game.' We have a lot of guys who play like that."
Should Shanahan have benched Griffin? Should doctors have made the call? Should Griffin have pulled himself? Probably. That would have been the reasonable thing to do. But football isn't reasonable. If it were, I'm not sure anyone would play. And I'm not sure anyone would watch.

Ezekiel 24EXPOSITION Verse 9. To execute upon them the judgment written. Israel as a nation had this to do, and did it, and then they rejoiced in the God who gave success to their arms. We praise our God after another fashion; we are not executioners of justice, but heralds of mercy. It would be a sad thing for any one to misuse this text: lest any warlike believer should be led to do so, we would remind him that the execution must not go beyond the sentence and warrant; and we have received no warrant of execution against our fellow men. Christians have no commission of vengeance; it is theirs to execute the command of mercy, and that alone. This honour have all his saints. All the godly shared in the triumphs of the Lord when he smote Israel's foes. We have like honour, but it is shown in victories of another sort. All the holy ones are sent upon errands by their holy Lord. The honours described in this Psalm are common to all the family of grace; and such service as the Lord appoints is to be undertaken by every one of them, without exception. The Lord honours all his chosen here, and he will glorify them all hereafter: this rule is without exception. Surely in this we have the best argument for glorifying the Lord, wherefore we close our new song with another Hallelujah, Praise ye the Lord. EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS Verse 9. This honour have all his saints. All other glories and honours are but feminine, weak, poor things to it. God is their glory; honoured they are with his blessed presence, honoured with his sight, with his embraces; they see him and enjoy him. This is the very glory of their honour, the height and pitch of all, for "in thy presence is joy, and at thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore", honour advanced into eternal glory; and "this honour" also "have all his saints"; some in spe, and some in re, some in hope, and some in deed; all either in promise or in possession. --Mark Frank. Verse 9. This honour have all his saints. "His saints" emphatically; Divine providence foreseeing that in after ages some would usurp the title of saintship to whom it did not belong. "His saints" exclusively; casting out saint traitors, as Beckett and Garnet; saint hypocrites, and many others; who, in the same sense as auri sacra fames, may be termed sacri, or sancti, saints. But, what honour have all his saints? Mark what went before -- "as it is written"; but by whom, and where? Though chapters and verses be of later date, the Holy Spirit might have cited the book. O no! He, to quicken our industry, refers us to the Word at large. However, "search the Scriptures", and therein we shall meet with many honours afforded to the saints; both whilst they were living, and when they were dead. Honour to their memories is sometimes paid them very abundantly, even by those who formerly were so niggardly and covetous as not to afford them a good word in their lifetime. Many are made converts by the godly ends of good men; as the centurion himself, who attended and ordered the crucifying of Christ, after his expiring broke forth into that testimony of him, -- "Verily, this was the Son of God." So, such as rail at, revile, curse, condemn, persecute, execute pious people, speak other language of them when such men have passed the purgation of death, and confess them faithful and sincere servants of God. The last "honour" is imitation of their virtuous examples. The Papists brag that Stapleton, their great controversial divine, was born on that very day whereon Sir Thomas More was put to death; but Providence so ordereth it that out of the ashes of dead saints many living ones do spring and sprout, by following the pious precedents of such godly persons deceased. --Thomas Fuller in "Abel Redivivus." HINTS FOR PASTORS AND LAYPERSONS Verse 9. The honour common to all saints.

Playing Assassin's Creed III as an Early American Historian
What drew me to the game, as an early Americanist, was the historically accurate renderings of the colonial and revolutionary settings. Also, throughout the game you interact with actual historical figures and play important roles in the most important events of the period. What early Americanist wouldn't want the chance to walk around Boston in 1754, a Mohawk village, Valley Forge, and, especially for me, New York in 1776? Or participate in the Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill, and the Battle of Monmouth? . . .Hattem reported that there's a setting to turn down the gore, making the many attacks more bloodless, and that his six-year-old son enjoyed the game. The younger Hattem had been somewhat prepared for the storyline by episodes of Liberty's Kids, one of those television cartoons that will never die.
I am not ashamed to admit that I found it quite exciting to walk into the Green Dragon Tavern to interact with Samuel Adams and to subsequently board the Dartmouth to take part in the Tea Party. At one point, your character has to ride his horse from Boston all the way out to Lexington on a snowy evening, the rendering of which was stunning. During the Battles of Lexington and Concord, you ride along with Paul Revere and end up commanding the Minutemen charged with holding the North Bridge. During the Battle of Bunker Hill, you are tasked with swimming out into the harbor and destroying the cannon on one of the ships bombarding Breed's Hill. To do so, you have to run down through Charlestown while buildings, including the church steeple, collapse in front of you due to cannon fire. . . .
In the end, barring a time machine, this game is as close as one can get to a dynamic visual experience of colonial and revolutionary settings. For the non-historian, the game will also bring home the violent nature of the Revolution, something often downplayed in popular history and oft-ignored even in the scholarship. Being an early Americanist, the game has led me to consider more the nature of the settings in which the historical subjects about whom I write lived. But, most of all, it proved to be just a whole lot of fun.
This Junto review included a helpful video with clips of the action, and those made me pause. And rewind and look again to be sure of what I was seeing:
- Lots of non-eighteenth-century facial hair, on such figures as Capt. John Parker.
- British soldiers attacking the Tea Party. There weren't any redcoats in central Boston in 1773. Royal officials didn't dare interfere with that action.
- Provincial militiamen defending the North Bridge at Concord from advancing British soldiers rather than the other way around.

Dream season ends: Yazoo County falls to Velma Jackson in state tournamentBy JOFFRE WASHINGTON,
- 1983 reads
There's a saying in basketball that goes, "If you live by the three, you die by the three."
Well, the Yazoo County Panthers have used their three-point shooting prowess all season long, paving the way to a 30-win season and a berth in the Class 3A semifinals at the State Tournament held at the Mississippi Coliseum.
Their hot shooting, however, abandoned them at the wrong time this week as they shot a horrid 27percent from behind the arc on 7-of-26 shooting en-route to a 72-61 season-ending loss to the Velma Jackson Falcons.
Yazoo County ends the year 30-1.
"We didn't shoot the ball well at all. I feel that my guys got overcome by the lights. We were missing little, simple assignments," said YCHS head coach Rahim Lockhart. "As a coach I have to take responsibility for that. The most important thing at the end of a year like this is not so much critiquing the actual final game, as acknowledging the great journey you had. I don't have any complaints with this team."
The Panthers were trying to become only the second team since 1986 to complete a season undefeated in Mississippi boys' basketball. From the outset it looked as though their journey would continue for one more game.
Yazoo County came out playing inspired basketball in the first quarter and despite some early misfires from deep, they were able to come away with a 16-10 first quarter advantage.
Unfortunately, the inefficiency from behind the three point line, which one might attribute to first quarter jitters, continued in the second quarter, allowing the Falcons to creep back into the ball game.
With the score tied at 21, Falcon forward Charlie Jones scored on a putback layup at the 3:06 mark of the quarter, putting Velma Jackson up 23-21 and giving them a lead they would never relinquish.
The Falcons outscored Yazoo County 10-3 the rest of the quarter and took a nine-point 33-24 lead into the intermission.
Panther forward Emon Washington's 12 first half points were pivotal in keeping the Panthers in the game, but with the third quarter just minutes underway, the Panthers were dealt a devastating blow as Washington, while battling for a rebound, came crashing down hard on the Big House floor. After several minutes, he was helped off the floor and to the bench, leaving his teammates to try and hold down the fort until he could return.
"I think it kind of set us back a little and hurt us in the third quarter when Emon went down," said Lockhart. "I'm not saying it definitely would have changed it because they (Velma Jackson) were already playing pretty good, but I would have liked to see our team be healthy the whole game."
Fortunately for Lockhart, sophomore guard Kejuan Frierson was just beginning to heat up.
"One thing about this team is that we never associated ourselves with just one player," said Lockhart. "Our strength has always been, we are one. So when he went down, we just all just said, 'Ok, you've got to step up and do your job' without even talking about it."
Frierson scored seven points in the quarter to lead a Panther comeback, and when guard John Lewis buried two free throws with 3:05 remaining in the quarter, Yazoo County had cut the Falcon lead to three, 40-37. Velma Jackson scored seven more points to pull back ahead before Marty Burrell hit a three-pointer at the end of the quarter to leave the score 47-41 heading into the final frame.
Much to the delight of the Panther fans, Washington returned to the court early in the fourth quarter and immediately scored on an acrobatic shot in the lane to pull the Panthers within eight, 51-43. Frierson did his best to keep the Panthers in the game, scoring 11 fourth quarter points, but Yazoo County could get no closer than eight points as the Falcons connected on 11 free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
Frierson led the Panthers with 23 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals while Washington followed with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. Lewis chipped in with nine points and 4 assists, Burrell had eight and LaKevin Dixon added six.
Josh Lee led a quartet of double-figure scorers for Velma Jackson with a game-high 25 points. Jordan Harvey added 14, Jones had 13 and Mason Riley had 12.
Added Lockhart: "My hat's off to Velma Jackson. It's hard to beat a team and a program like that. They played really well and played good team ball. My hat's off to my team as well. We've accomplished a lot this season. I told the guys to take this feeling, swallow it and let it be food to motivate you and give you the energy to do what you need to do next year. We've got our top eight guys returning and we have a few guys that we think are going to grow and be able to help us. The biggest thing is the guys now have confidence so the sky is the limit for this team."
