Lawyers For The One Case Where There's Proof Of Warrantless Wiretapping Decide Not To Appeal To Supreme Court
from the sad dept
Now, the lawyers representing Al-Haramain have decided that they will not appeal the case to the Supreme Court, on the belief that the "current composition" of the court works against them. In other words, they believe that the current Justices on the court would side with the appeals court in rejecting their case, and then that would be precedent across the country (unless Congress changed the law, which it's unlikely to do). The "hope" then is that somehow, down the road, someone else somehow gets evidence that they, too, were spied upon without a warrant, and it happens in a different district, and (hopefully) that circuit's appeals court rules differently, setting up a circuit split. Oh, and that by the time that happens, the "composition" of the court shifts enough that the court actually respects the 4th Amendment. In other words: none of this is likely. Instead, the feds retain their ability to spy on people without warrants in direct violation of the 4th Amendment.
In other words, bye-bye 4th Amendment. It was nice knowing you.

The highly-rated 21-year-old has re-established himself as Arsenal's central midfield linchpin since his return from a 14-month spell on the sidelines and has become vital in their hunt for Champions League qualification.
Cazorla is confident that his team-mate can go from strength to strength if he steers clear of the treatment table.
"His return from injury was a great plus for the club and we all hope he can maintain the level he's at because he's very good," Cazorla told the club's official website.
|Arsenal are 10/1 with Coral to beat Tottenham 2-1
"I didn't know much about him when I came to the club because he hasn't been around for very long.
"He surprised me because he is such a complete footballer.
"He's young and has a spectacular future ahead of him and he's also got a lot of room to mature and develop. I have no doubt that he's going to be even more important here in the future."
Cazorla also spoke fondly of the partnership the two midfielders have established and is looking forward to building a further understanding with his midfield counterpart.
The former Malaga man added: "His way of playing compliments my own. We play in similar positions and that makes it easier for us to establish a great understanding every day.
"He adds something extra and I'm gradually getting to know his style of play better."

QPR attacker Andros Townsend says confidence is high at Loftus Road ahead of the Rs' derby with neighbours Fulham on Monday night.
The west Londoners have fared well in derby matches this season, taking four points off Chelsea as well as defeating Martin Jol's men in an Adel Taraabt-inspired 2-1 win in the reverse fixture, leaving Townsend in a bullish mood.
"We're confident we can get a result there," the 21-year-old told QPR's official website.
"The fact it's a local derby is an added incentive, but all we're focused on is returning to winning ways and getting another three points on the board."
Rangers moved off the bottom of the Premier League without even playing at the weekend with Reading losing heavily at Arsenal, and after claiming two wins in their last three outings Tottenham loanee Townsend says no one at the club has given up on survival.
"We've got eight games to go and we believe we can still get out of it," the young winger added. "Obviously it's going to be tough, but we're a confident group of players and we're playing well at the moment.
"We're scoring goals again and looking like we can really take the game to the opposition, so we're all confident.
"The gaffer has said he thinks 37 points might be enough and that's four wins and two draws, which we feel we are capable of achieving.
"That's what we're aiming for.
"We still believe and we'll be giving everything we can to stay up."

ATV rentals
ATV rentals seeing steady businessBy DEBRA THORNBLAD
Special to the Union Leader
September 08. 2013 4:41PM
GORHAM — Gorham has always made its living by serving visitors coming to view and enjoy the White Mountains and other natural resources. Now with state and local government allowing all-terrain vehicles along roadways in Coos County, the town may be poised for a renaissance, some locals say.
In the past, the small town boasted several large hotels and restaurants catering to tourists. The car put an end to some of that trade, that of families who might come by train to stay the whole summer season.
Although the big hotels are gone, Gorham has always had plenty of lodging and restaurants, but in recent years they have struggled. Businesses jumping on the ATV wagon are hoping for a turnaround.
One of those businesses is Northeast ATV Rental, owned by Ray Bergeron.
Bergeron has been in the motorcycle and snowmobile repair business in Gorham for 21 years, before adding snowmobile rentals four years ago and this year ATV rentals.
"Motorcycles were always my passion," he said. "I've been fortunate to be able to follow my dreams."
Bergeron has a strong background in off-road activities. He raced dirt bikes at several tracks along the East Coast for many years, and several trophies on a shelf over his counter attest to his skill.
"It's my stress reliever," he says.
Four years ago he was approached by Terry MacGilveray, who was looking to branch out from his snowmobile business based in Fryeburg, Maine.
"We got together, threw some ideas around. I've always been known to think outside the box," Bergeron said.
The result was Northeast Snowmobile Rental. The business now has three locations, Fryeburg and Bethel, Maine, and Gorham, with a fleet of 64 snowmobiles. They move between sites depending on business demands.
Usually, Bergeron said, most are here in Gorham, but it depends on the skill of the rider. Fryeburg is more flat and better for the novice rider. This area offers more challenging terrain.
"We're fortunate with our local geography," he said. "It's amazing what we have in our own backyard."
The ATV rental part of the business, new this year, came as a leap of faith. That's a little unusual for Bergeron, who has grown his business conservatively and carefully over the years.
"It's always been a dream to expand and have something for the summer," he said. "We knew someday this would come about."
But when he started the ATV rental business earlier this summer, neither the state or town had given its OK to allow ATVs along state roads. Gorham's Main Street and the main roads leading into Gorham, Routes 2 and 16, are all state roads. Initially he had to truck the ATVs to the trailhead on Route 2.
Then just days before the Jericho Lake ATV Festival opened, the state approved allowing ATVs on state roads in Coos County only. Gorham selectman had already given the state its support for the plan, after a public hearing showed overwhelming support.
"The ATV freedom we have was earned," Bergeron said. "It's still being earned. We're still under the microscope."
Today an ATV rider can enter the trail in Gorham and ride all the way to Pittsburg. Gorham is the entrance to the Ride the Wilds trail that goes all the way to the Canadian border.
The opening of the state roads and the approval of many North Country towns to allow ATVs on their roads has proved to be a major boon for many businesses.
Bergeron's small business has definitely felt the impact. The expansion allowed him to recently hire two more people. He also keeps a roster of local experienced guides available to go with ATV riders not familiar with the area, which means extra money for more local people.
The business has nine ATVs that can accommodate 26 people, including a six-person ATV that he uses to take people out on moose tours.
Many of the visitors coming to rent ATVs are looking for a new adventure. Because they may not be used to the challenging terrain here, Bergeron starts out with a 30-minute orientation.
"Safety is number one," he said, adding that if he had doubts about a person's ability to handle it, he will require a guide, or, on very rare occasions, has refused them.
He offers two-hour rentals and all-day rentals. Most of the time, he said, all of his vehicles are out.
There were some in Gorham who initially had reservations about allowing then to ride the streets, but most are coming to see how much of a family sport it really is.
Bergeron agreed. His typical customers are often a dad, who still has a little of the wild side in him, a cautious mom, and kids who laugh as they go through the mud puddles on the trails.
Cautious man that he is, Bergeron wouldn't say at this point what his hopes are for the future.
"I have visions, but nothing is etched in stone," he said.
"Everything is right here — lodging, restaurants and repairs," he says of Gorham. "We're lucky Gorham has opened up its arms to these dirty, dusty ATVs."

Rated 4 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Amy26 Wonderful fit! This product is exactly what I wanted. It has been really difficult to find a fitted button up that actually buttons to the top. Generally I order a size larger, to accommodate my larger bust, but these buttons are close enough together that I do not have to worry about any gaps in that area. My only complaint is that the fabric is really thin, so it is almost see through. May 4, 2013

As expected, the GOP candidate for Attorney General Mark Obenshain will formally request a recount in his race, this after the State Board of Election certified his opponent, democrat Mark Herring as the winner.
Herring won by a margin of only 165 votes, out of 2.2 million cast. That infinitesimally small margin is enough for Obenshain to request the recount, to be paid for by the localities.
The last time Virginia went through a statewide recount was in 2005, when then Del. Bob McDonnell bested Sen. Creigh Deeds by a little more than 300 votes. As many have noted, the rules for a recount have changed since 2005- and Obenshain believes it gives him a realistic shot of flipping the results.
Here is his official statement:
Mark Obenshain to Formally Request Recount in Virginia Attorney General's Race Tomorrow Morning
Mark Obenshain will formally request a recount in the historically close Attorney General's race tomorrow morning. A margin of 165 votes out of more than 2.2 million ballots cast currently separates the two candidates. Ashley L. Taylor, Jr. and Stephen C. Piepgrass, representing Obenshain's legal team, will hold a press conference call tomorrow, Wednesday, November 27 at 10:00 a.m. to discuss the recount.
Background on the Virginia Recount Procedure:
The procedures for the recount are established in Virginia Code § 24.2-802 and regulations adopted by the Virginia State Board of Elections. The recount will be supervised by a three-judge court, sitting in Richmond, Virginia. The court will set the dates and terms of the recount and will confirm the officers of election and coordinators for the recount.
The day of the recount, in each locality, recount teams will:
- Run optical scan ballots through tabulating machines;
- Recount by hand any optical scan ballots that are rejected from the machines;
- Recount by hand provisional ballots;
- Recount by hand absentee ballots;
- Re-tally the tapes printed by direct-recording electronic voting machines; and
- Reprint and re-tally any illegible tapes printed on election night.
If election officials cannot agree on how to count certain ballots, those ballots will be sent to Richmond so that the three-judge court can resolve the dispute. The results from all localities will then be tallied together and the three judges will declare the winner.
In the 2005 recount in the close Attorney General's race, optical scan ballots in only 10 precincts were re-run and re-tabulated. That recount resulted in a net swing of 37 votes towards McDonnell. In 2008, legislation sponsored by Senator Creigh Deeds was enacted and became part of the recount statute, Code § 24.2-802, which mandates that optical scan ballots be run through the machines and re-tabulated in a recount, with any ballot rejected by the optical scan machine to be counted by hand.
This change in the law is significant, because it means that the recount teams will have the opportunity to examine many ballots cast by voters that were not counted on election night (these ballots are referred to as "undervotes"). As a result of the amendment of § 24.2-802, the Virginia Public Access Project estimates that there will be 100 times more ballots recounted this year than in 2005. One Virginia political analyst estimates that between 25,000 and 50,000 undervotes have yet to be counted.
There have been four statewide elections in the United States since 2000 that finished within a 300 vote margin. Three of those four statewide elections were overturned in a recount. The current margin of 0.007% separating the two candidates for Attorney General this year is narrower than any other U.S. statewide race in the 21st century.
Meanwhile the Herring team responded with the following statement:
Attorney General-elect Mark Herring released the following statement regarding Senator Mark Obenshain's announcement that he intends to seek a recount:
"It is within Senator Obenshain's right to pursue electoral victory to an ultimate conclusion beyond the original count, canvass and certification. His tactics, however, will not impede our efforts to build the finest team to serve all Virginians in the Office of Attorney General or prepare for the 2014 legislative session."
- In the last decade, only 0.1% of statewide races across America have been altered by a recount (3 races total);
- In all three cases in which the recount changed the winner following certification, the Democratic candidate won: Governor Christine Gregoire in Washington, Senator Al Franken in Minnesota, and Auditor of Accounts Tom Salmon in Vermont;
- Herring for Attorney General lead counsel Marc Elias and his firm Perkins Coie represented both Governor Gregoire and Senator Franken's recount efforts;
The Attorney General's recount in Virginia in 2005 only moved 37 votes and several changes have been made to Virginia's election laws in an effort to address actual or potential problems.

Rome wasn't built in a day and going by the evidence of Wednesday's game, India's bid to be among the top hundred ranked countries in world football could prove to be a task of similar proportions. The national team's first friendly in three months ended in a 2-4 humbling against Palestine on home soil.
When the coaching staff and players alike sing praises about the giant strides Indian Football is taking at present, a convincing defeat against a depleted Palestine side doesn't help justify that claim. There's been plenty of talk of the new style of play being adopted by the national side but there was no evidence of it. Instead, it was a timely reminder of where India stands on the international stage and a caution against getting carried away with few positives.
Just over three months ago, Indian custodian Subrata Paul (who was dropped from the starting eleven for the most recent game) suggested, nay, 'guaranteed' that India 'will surely be below 100 in the FIFA Rankings' within 18 months. His ambitious words are admirable but misleading nonetheless. The harsh reality is that football in India has a long way to go before we can even think about featuring in the top 100.
|"I can tell you, we have the potential to be below 100. We need to play on all FIFA dates without failure for the next 18 months. If we play that regularly, I guarantee you, we will surely be below 100 in the FIFA Rankings. We are much better than 168."
Despite the talk of numerous football academies being set-up and revolutionizing Indian football at the grass root level, very few projects have been put into motion with real intent. The process of introducing these new academies and improving grounds by utilizing artificial turfs haven't been carried out on the kind of scale that they were meant to. Before eyeing a top 100 status, these are just a few of the things that need to be put in place first.
The infrastructure of football in India needs a major overhaul and that's going to take years. The employment of Wim Koevermans as national team head coach along with that of his staff was a step in the right direction and in all fairness, they do have good intentions to significantly improve the standard of the game. But let's not expect the team to perform miracles and surge up the proverbial ladder within a year and a half of the current administration's tenure.
As far as Wednesday's game goes, there were few positives to derive from the first half performance prior to that almost instantaneous capitulation in the second. Alwyn George and perhaps Clifford Miranda put on decent performances in the first half but like the rest of the team, they went missing in the second period. Despite leading 2-1 at half-time, Koevermans' troops failed to show up after the break and were trailing 2-4 after twenty minutes following the restart.
In all honesty, it was utterly disheartening to see virtually no retaliation or fight from the team nick-named 'Blue Tigers' - quite ironically so after that timid performance. The midfield was hesitant at best but the defense was border-line embarrassing.
With his red kit, number 7 jersey and the ease with which he turned the Indian defenders inside-out on several occasions, one could've been forgiven for mistaking Palestine winger Ashraf Nu'man for Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery. The right-footed winger played down the left for the visitors and was ably aided by the Indian defense in his imitation of the French star as he helped himself to a hat-trick while barely breaking a sweat.
However, for those who support the revolutionary philosophy Koevermans' and his staff aim to implement, the score-line or result is not the most disappointing aspect of the game. The ease with which the Indian defenders were made to look ordinary is also not what's most disappointing. The fact that the team failed to show any sort of fight is not the most disappointing part either. The most disappointing aspect of this particular defeat is the team's style of play.
There was no evidence whatsoever of the 'pass-and-move' system that the national team is supposed to be working towards. The hosts were barely able to string five passes together and were too tentative on the ball. If simple five or ten-yard passes were on and the visitors weren't charging at them, only then were a few successful passes administered. Whenever confronted with a bit of pressure on the ball, the Indian midfield and defense didn't hesitate to launch it forward aimlessly and concede possession.
Make no mistake about it, no one expects the team to suddenly deliver a Spanish passing style of play. That's not what's expected at all but there has got to be some small indication that the team is striving to keep the ball better.
When trying to transit into a new style of play, losing games is acceptable as long as you lose while attempting to enforce that particular system. If you get caught in possession and concede a goal while trying to stick to the 'pass-and-move' system then that's perfectly understandable because errors are inevitable when trying something new. Unfortunately, the four goals conceded had nothing to do with the players' determination to pass the ball and the defensive blunders cannot be attributed to a transitional phase.
In January 2011, Palestine were ranked at 178 in the FIFA rankings while India were at 144, fast-forward two years and Palestine have climbed 26 places to 152 while India have dropped 22 places to 166.
|"A war-torn country with a population that amounts to approximately 0.32% of India's, beat the Indian national team at home with a second-string side and are taking much bigger strides forward on the international stage."
A war-torn country with a population that amounts to approximately 0.32% of India's, beat the Indian national team at home with a second-string side and are taking much bigger strides forward on the international stage.
When you take that into consideration, it's evident that there is a lot of serious work to be done before entertaining the possibility of breaking into the top 100. This is not to condemn ambition or optimism but to promote the reality of the situation so as to maintain focus on the task at hand. To put it in layman's terms - let's learn to walk before attempting to run.

Now if only the admen would release "Dream in a World of Candy" by Melanie Horsnell, my world would be complete!
(I think it ran a couple of years ago in an Oreo commercial. It was uber-catchy.)

Messi was one of a number of Barcelona stars who were far from their best as Bayern ran out a 4-0 winner at the Allianz Arena but Muller believes the Argentina ace will provide a far sterner test in the second-leg clash on Wednesday.
"Barca away at Camp Nou - that's a completely different proposition altogether," Muller told a press conference on Tuesday. "They will come forward at us a lot more than in the first leg, they'll have more shots on our goal and more possession, which is their strength. I think we'll see a different Messi in this game."
He added, "Everyone knows that he is the core of their team. If you score 50 goals every season, then it's clear that the team will depend on you. I don't really know what his situation was in the first game in terms of fitness, but he came off the bench at the weekend and scored a great goal.
"I think we'll be much busier with him in this game."
Teammate Bastian Schweinsteiger added that the Bavarians must be careful not to rest on their laurels following their first leg triumph and insists they will attempt to score a crucial away goal at Camp Nou.
"We opened the door to the final with the first leg result," Schweinsteiger said, "but we haven't got the job done yet. We still need to show a lot of passion to make sure we can go through, especially against a team like Barca.
"I think we have a great team compared to last season and all the players are fit for the match. That explains why we are where we are. It'll be tough because Barcelona are capable of doing great things, we know that. We have played very well in this season's Champions League. If we score one or two goals we know it'll be even tougher for Barcelona. If we have the chance to attack, we will."
Schweinsteiger is one of a number of Bayern stars who face being suspended from the final should they pick up a yellow card on Wednesday, but the Germany midfielder has stressed the team's sole focus is on doing what they must to reach the final at Wembley.
"We are all dreaming of getting to the final. There may be difficult moments in the game and we know the risks. If someone gets another yellow card, then that's unfortunate. But our focus is doing what we can to make sure we get to London."

WARNING: If you are allergic to rumors, speculation, or leaked phones, then do not click on this story. We just received a hot tip and we are not able to verify the source, so help us decide if it's fake or real.
Update: We might have found the source of the above image.
Is the above image the LG Nexus 5? An anonymous source, who claims to work for Google, tells us this prototype is the real deal, but we are not sure what to make of it. There is a good chance that some basement dweller is trolling us hard, but this person has an interesting story so we thought it needed to be shared.
The source claims that Google plans to release a Nexus 5 later this year (October 2013), and they are currently evaluating several prototypes from different manufactures. One of these prototypes is made by LG and it's currently using the codename "Megalodon."
Rumored specs for the LG "Megalodon" include:
- 5.2″ OLED Display with 1920×1080 resolution
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 @ 2.3 GHz
- 3GB LPDDR3 Ram
- 16/32/64GB of internal storage
- 16MP rear camera by OmniVision (4k video recording @30FPS, 1080p video recording @60FPS, Real Time HDR & HDR video recording, optical image stabilization, BSI 2.0)
- 2.1MP front camera (1080p video recording @30FPS)
- 3300 mAh Lithium Polymer battery
- Front positioned stereo speakers
- Qualcomm RF360 (LTE 150 Mbps & HSPA+)
- Integrated DVB-T / ATSC-antenna
- Gesture like controls (navigation, zoom, etc)
Looking over the list of specs reveals a nerd's wishlist on steroids. Most of these parts are not even shipping in devices yet, but several are slated to be available by the second half of 2013. Qualcomm for example has said we should expect to see their Snapdragon 800 and RF360 solution in devices before the end of the year.
Several things about this leak are screaming fake to me, but I haven't been able to rule out if this is another elaborate hoax or something that should be on our radar. We just saw Google team up with LG to produce the Nexus 4, and even though the launch had some hiccups, we could see Google picking LG again to deliver the next flagship Nexus device.
What are your thoughts on the prototype design and the proposed list of specs?

TEHRAN, Iran— Iran's parliament announced Sunday it would probe reports that a jailed blogger died suspiciously in custody earlier this week, according to the official IRNA news agency.
This was Iran's first official reaction to the death of Sattar Beheshti, in a rare example of parliament taking up allegations of human rights abuses first raised internationally. The case gained publicity over the weekend when U.S. State Department and a press freedom group called for an inquiry.
It was known that the blogger died in custody, but how he died was not disclosed.
Deputy parliamentary speaker Mohammad Hasan Abutorabifard said that the legislature's influential committee on national security and foreign policy has been assigned to look into the circumstances of Beheshti's death.
"The committee has been informed about the incident and its report will be announced to the nation and lawmakers," IRNA quoted Aboutorabifard as saying.
The announcement came after a speech by lawmaker Ahmad Tavakoli, a prominent conservative critic of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in the open session of the parliament that was broadcast on state radio, in which he criticized officials for their silence over a case that has received international attention.
"Why do the Foreign Ministry and judiciary not explain this? A death has happened and it should be explained," said Tavakoli.
"How can summoning a blogger (for questioning) be useful? Why do you generate expenses for the Islamic system?" he said.
He urged authorities to look for "corrupt" officials who have been involved in the case, instead of mistreating bloggers.
Later Sunday, Iran's judiciary also said it would look into the death of Beheshti. The semi-official Mehr news agency cited a statement by the judiciary that it would investigate anyone who had a role in the case.
Lawmaker Ebrahim Nekou, who represents Beheshti's hometown of Robat Karim, also protested the his death. "I want to express my objection to killing of a blogger in my constituency while asking why the case was not announced to the officials of the town and to me."
The 35-year-old Beheshti was reportedly a factory worker. He was not a well-known activist.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said Saturday that Iranian authorities must release full details of the "suspicious death," and the State Department also called for a probe.
Dozens of bloggers and journalists have been arrested in widespread crackdowns in Iran in recent years.
In 2010, Iran's parliament played a major role in probing the deaths in detention of three people during the unrest that followed disputed 2009 elections. The inquiry led to the dismissal of several judicial and police officials. (AP)

love. these. things.Friday, April 15, 2011
This is what showed up in my pan a couple of weeks ago. I know. Don't you love it. Just a little reminder that love really is everywhere.
Ali started the one thousand wishes project. All proceeds from the shop will go to the Canadian Red Cross Japan earthquake and tsunami fund. Many thanks to Ali for her wish and hope to collect at least one thousand dollars. I absolutely love this project and the story of the paper cranes.
For those iphone users. Have you seen this new app? This app is SUPER cool! Design your own hat using whatever yarn you have on hand. Big man head? Small baby head? Super chunky yarn? Super fine yarn? No problem! It has 99 different hat combinations. For $5.99, I think it is quite a deal. Imagine all the personalization you can do! How about designing a bunch of different hats and writing your own pattern book?! Come on. Tap into those passions and dreams. And, don't let anyone tell you you can't, cause you absolutely can! Oh, and for those android users, this app should be available in September.
Blarter. Have something you want? Something someone else may need? Do an exchange. Molly is a serious genius coming up with this idea. I love the idea of exchanging your crafty goods with someone else's. 100% totally useful!

The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended a man late Tuesday who was wanted for the December shooting death of a man in Orlando.
The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended a man late Tuesday who was wanted for the December shooting death of a man in Orlando.
Bryon Killins, 19, was captured in southeast Ocala and charged with principle to first-degree murder, accessory after the fact and tampering with physical evidence. Killins was booked into the Marion County Jail with no bond.
Killins' alleged co-defendant, Robert Burton, was arrested in Orlando and is in the Orange County Jail, charged with first-degree murder.
Killins' charges stem from a Dec. 28 shooting at an apartment complex near the Mall at Millenia in Orlando. U.S. Marshal Bryon Carroll, a member of the task force, said officials in Orlando, together with detectives from the Orlando Police Department, developed information that Killins had fled to Ocala after the shooting. They contacted task force officials in Ocala for assistance.
Carroll said they confirmed Killins was in hiding in Marion County, probably hanging out with a friend.
On Tuesday, investigators from the U.S. Marshals Service — including Carroll, Sheriff's Office Detective Donald Buie and personnel from the Alachua County Sheriff's Office and Gainesville Police Department — conducted surveillance at various bus stops in southeast Ocala. Around 5:30 p.m., Killins arrived at the bus stop at 1801 SE 32nd Ave.
Task force members moved in and ordered him and his friend to the ground. Killins was detained and his friend, whose name was not released, was later released.
"The task force is so successful because we combine the breadth of experience of several investigators from several agencies into a single force focused on locating violent fugitives. Killins' attempts to avoid arrest by fleeing Orlando, hiding in Ocala, and using a public bus were unsuccessful because of the hard work of our skilled investigators. Once again, a violent fugitive is no longer roaming our community," Carroll said.
"Congratulations on the continued effort of the U.S. Marshals Service Task Force in removing this violent offender off the streets of Marion County," added Sheriff Chris Blair.

Imagine If Everyone Had To Start From Scratch And Reinvent The Wheel Every Time They Wanted To Build A New Car?
from the not-a-recipe-for-innovation dept
The entire crux of the argument is in this sentence, which says that we should celebrate the complete dismissal of any product that has any element of an idea from someone else:
Because they are a cheap bag of lazy, unimaginative bastards, that's why.Yeah, according to Diaz and Gizmodo, the point of the patent system is that everyone should reinvent the wheel every time they want to build a new car:
Those rivals, like Google, Samsung, or HTC, just said "oh fuck this, let's all do the same" and came up with devices that are mostly copies of what Apple put out in their first iPhone. Sure, they added some stuff of their own and sure, Apple's user interface has some aspects that are not original. But mostly the iPhone's competitors are clones that show no imagination, no better ways to do things.Of course, seeing as some of Apple's recent "innovations" actually copy directly back from Google, Samsung or HTC, should we say the same thing about Apple?
Sometimes we've seen similar arguments in our comments, and it's ignorant of history, of economics and of innovation. Innovation is all about building on the backs of others, taking what works, but improving and changing in other areas. Apple's second big hit, the Macintosh, borrowed liberally from the graphical user interface designed at Xerox PARC (which itself borrowed liberally from the work at SRI). But it added key innovations on top of it and around it. And that's how real innovation works. It's not in starting from scratch and reinventing. It's from building on what else is there, and making it better and more compelling, or tweaking it for a different market. None of that precludes doing something entirely new, but making everyone start from scratch to do something entirely new is ridiculous and anti-innovation.
Hell, let's take Diaz's argument to it's insane logical conclusion. Motorola invented the first handheld mobile phone. Thus, really, shouldn't Apple be working on something different than a mobile phone? After all, by making a mobile phone, all it's really doing is being "a cheap bag of lazy, unimaginative bastards." Instead, Apple should have come up with a totally new way of communicating.
And, really, the specifics of Diaz's post are even more ridiculous. In it he praises the fact that Samsung's devices may get blocked out of the EU entirely because they have a "swipe to unlock" feature -- a tiny feature among thousands of features on a mobile device today. And, if we really broke down all of the possible features on a standard iPhone or iPad today, how many do you really think were first invented by Apple? According to Diaz, Apple should have come up with brand new ways of doing all of that. They shouldn't have email (done by someone else). No web browser (someone else did that too). Apps? I mean, come on, how derivative can they be?
Innovation is the process of improving on what came before, and part of that is taking what came before and building on it. Sometimes it will involve something entirely new, but that's exceptionally rare. In most cases, it's a minor tweak. Hell, one of the most famous "inventors" in the world is Thomas Edison, and really, when you look, almost all of his "inventions" were really minor tweaks on work others had done. But if the Diaz/Gizmodo view of the world held true, Edisons "minor tweak" to make a lightbulb actually work, would have been a waste because, you know, someone else already had created the lightbulb.
Innovation involves copying. Out of that copying come improvement and new ideas. Complaining about something just because it involves some element of copying is not complaining about a lack of innovation. It's complaining about some artificial useless standard.

And I've replaced your image links with direct links because imageshack is ridiculously full of ads. ~Keiji
A imagined story:
...One day when I was eating I noticed an orange. This orange is bigger than other oranges. In fact it is more spherical than other oranges.
I grab a knife and slice it open...
This is a sphere.
Looks 3D? Think again, it's in fact the 3 sphere (projection)
Rotate the sphere a bit, and the w axis is now visible
Viewing another 3 sphere edge on, results in the usual 2 sphere view plus the 3rd curvature collasped into the classical dounut shape projection (Area near the two thick vertical lines)
The 3quator and the poles of the 3 sphere.
A 3 sphere is the 4D analogue of the 2 sphere (the common 3D ball we all familiar with)
To slice the 3 sphere, apply dimension analogy:
-1 sphere (point)
A point can be sliced by emptiness into emptiness along emptiness, with emptiness as cross sections (emptiness corresponds to empty (-1) space required to make some maths complete)
0 sphere (line segment)
A line can be sliced into half along its mid point, with points as cross sections
1 sphere (circle)
A circle can be sliced into half along the diameter, with line segments of length d as cross sections
A maximum of 2 orthogonal cuts can be made to dice the circle into quarters
The quarters has the shape of a right angled triangle but with one side a curve (the surface of the circle)
2 sphere
A 2 sphere can be sliced into half along any great circles. And the cross sections are circles
A maximum of 3 orthogonal cuts can be made to dice the 2 sphere into 1/8 identical chunks
The chunks has the shape of a right angled tetrahedral shape with one curved face (the surface of the 2 sphere)
3 sphere
Similarly a 3 sphere can be sliced into half along any great 2 spheres.
Here are the various hemi 3 spheres obtained when one slice along the great 2 spheres in the x, z, y and w direction respectively
Similarly a maximum of 4 orthogonal cuts SHOULD be made to dice the 3 spheres into identical 1/16 chunks
The chunks (which the projection is not found elsewhere) are a pentachoroid composed of 4 cells of the same shape as the 1/8 chunks of the 2 sphere plus a "inflated tetrahedron" cell at the front (the surface of the 3 sphere)
Here are the 3-chunks
Another way to slice it is to
(for convenience, 2 spheres are referred as simply 'sphere' in this section)
1. Treat the 3 sphere (projection) as one sphere (squished into a spheriod in the projection) and stick it into the equator of another sphere so that the equator and one of the great circles of the "flattened" sphere intersects. (Similar to how one draw a sphere on paper, one draws a circle then mark the equator on the circle. depth thus can be inferred from the resulting image for those who can perceive 3D)
2. Choose an arbitary direction to slice, then mark 3 pairs of points anywhere on the unsquished sphere in the projection (note the points can be placed somewhere in 4D, which is done by moving the 3quator to a desired portion of of the large sphere, then mark the point anywhere on the resulting 3chord).
*3. 3 straight lines can be drawn from each pair of points and should be concurrent (intersecting at a single point). This marks the direction of the slicing plane and the poles of the spherical cross section to be obtained.
4. Connect any 4 coplanar points (lying on the same plane) to form an oval in the projection. Then choose any one pair of points directly opposite to each other on the oval and use it along with the remaining two points (which should also be directly opposite to each other) to draw another oval.
5. The two ovals (circles) should intersect at two points forming two intersecting great circles of a sphere (wireframe). Fill in the wireframe to obtain the cross sectional sphere.
6. Choose the portion of the projection to the left or right of the cross sectional sphere to discard.
7. Now the remaining portion in the projection along with the cross sectional sphere should yield the projection of the sliced chunk of the 3 sphere
(The above can be generalised to any dimensions.A n sphere requires n pairs of points forming concurrent lines to define the slicing plane. n-1 ovals can be drawn on the projection to form the n-1 great circles wireframe of the cross sectional n-1 sphere)
*It's meaingless if one cannot check whether the lines are concurrent USING THE PROJECTION ALONE and/or the above method cannot be generalized to any objects and surfaces. The slicing plane is undefined if at least one line is not concurrent
But I don't know how to develop a prove mathematically
With the 3 sphere visualized, you can easily construct the polychorons (4 polytopes) on a 3 sphere using anagolus rules in constructing their 3D conterparts on a 2 sphere.
e.g. An octahedron can be constructed by locating the 3 pairs of polear points along the 3 axes, then joint the four points on the equator to form a square and connect the 4 vetices of the equatorial square to the remaining two poles above and below the square respectively.
Similarly a 16 cell can be constructed by locating the 4 pairs of polar points on the 3 sphere. Joint the 6 points on the 3quator to form an octahedron. Then connect the 6 vertices of the 3quatorial octahedron to the remaining 2 poles ana and kata the octahedron respectively.
Here ilustrates a 16 cell drawn this way with the 3 sphere removed
These are 4 sphere and 5 sphere respectively, projected successively from its dimension to the 2D screen.
NOTE: I might be entirely wrong, cause I'm not expereinced enough to do the above mathematically nor to prove them mathematically
NOTE 2: The above ideas are result on my limited understanding of 4D plus TONS OF PAPERWORK
P.S. Imageshack doesn't allow me to upload for some reason ("no files were uploaded" error), thus i've to use facebook. IF someone manage to get into the album, mind help me rehost the pics to a more accessible place? (cause the virginbroadband does not allow me to upload them besides facebook)
P.S. 2: The facebook account above is my dummy account (old and unused anymore), thus its security and privacy is set to the lowest
P.S. 3: Due to the above problems, it took about 2 hours to get this post done

I say rename the Naga Cauldron the Slime cauldron and move it to the Slime Pits. Thematically, a device that tries to create practical effects from noxious chemicals makes more sense in the Slime Pits than in Naga City.
I'm not sure how much design space is left for a new Cursed Oasis item. What about some kind of anti-curse item? Or an item that grows in power as you accumulate curse stacks?

FPP EDU Media prides itself on offering the highest-quality technology and most innovative international student recruitment services with global reach and personal customer service.
We have always believed that student quality drives successful student recruitment. For this reason, we continue to invest in strategically targeted marketing campaigns together with a solid pre-screening process. The result ... high-quality attendees at our events, and engaged students online.
In 2011, we were the first to introduce scanning technology to student fairs. In 2013, we wowed our clients again by introducing the FPP App allowing them to collect student data and have complete statistics on our events in real time. In 2016, we launched our cutting-edge Virtual Fair platform.
Whether you are attending our fairs, virtual fairs, hosting a webinar, or sending a single email blastlead management is crucial. We give you the tools to immediately follow-up with students. Your FPP client area holds scanned student's profiles and contact details from all FPP events and online products.
In 2014, we innovated further by becoming the first and only company in the industry to offer a rewards program. Our clients earn FPP-Points on all their FPP activities. These accumulated points can be redeemed for student fairs, virtual fairs, webinars, email blasts, Facebook campaigns and more.
"FPP brings a lot of people from different cities from around the world. People coming here are really interested to go abroad, they have already read about the schools they come and ask specific questions."
Oscar Blanco
ILAC (Canada)
"I do FPP fairs so I can speak directly with the students and get an idea of what they are looking for and what the market is. The quality of students is excellent and I think that is very important because you do meet a lot of people at these fairs. But they're very well screened so we definitely get bookings through it - that's why I am here."
Blaise Barham
Southern Lakes English College (New Zealand)
"We've been attending FPP events in different countries for more than 3 years now. It is a great opportunity for us to meet quality students. They have a tool (the app) to do the follow-up online which is very helpful so we can keep in touch with the students."
Rafael Malagrino
Oxford International Education Group (United Kingdom, Canada, USA)
"The Middle East fairs were really great. The way it was organized, the team, quality of students, and most importantly the app. It was a great experience."
Sarah El Gohary
New York Institute of Technology (USA)
"I've been attending FPP fairs for about eight years, and I'm very happy to say that the quality of the students has definitely improved. I was just in Mexico with FPP, now in Brazil, and I'm doing Spain, Italy and Ireland with FPP. Then next month, we'll be doing the fairs in Colombia and Panama as well."
Jose Balcaceres
George Brown College (Canada)
"I would like to thank you for all the support and help you gave me during these 2 days. It has been a great pleasure to get to know you and the team. The fair was well-organized and the quality of leads was great. I actually enjoyed talking to many students and can't wait to join the next year's event."
Sanaz Najiyan
TIAS School for Business and Society (Netherlands)
"I would like to thank you for the fairs. Everything went so well, and I already have one student enrolled for my February in take."
Carla Casas Palagos
Barcelona School of Design and Engineering (Spain)
"In terms of customer service, you are top notch and above anyone in the industry. You must be very proud on the work you guys did … keep it up."
Ben Clark
Aviation Maintenance Institute (USA)
"Around 2004, 2005 we were looking to come into the South American market and my former colleague recommended that we try FPP. We get exposure and good students. I have seen FPP grow to the success that they are nowadays."
Judith Genat
TAFE Western Australia (Australia)
"We have been participating in FPP's fairs for about 4 years now, and participate in all their regions (Latin America, Mexico, Middle East, Asia, Europe, India) and we have had a great turn around. Every fair season for us FPP is a must. I love how user friendly their online portal is. We are able to get students (leads) that match our profile, upload the leads that we collected at fairs and even send them email blasts from the portal. I would definitely recommend FPP to any university that wants great and qualified leads."
Melanie Munoz-Delgado
Full Sail University (USA)
"We've had a lot of interest. The level and quality of the students has been amazing and the organisation of the fair and the app has been great. I like that you can write down information about them and rate them, and I can follow up with the students afterwards. It has been very helpful."
Kimberley Nance
The University of Melbourne (Australia)
"I have to tell you that I've been back and forth with some families I met on the road show who are planning to visit this summer AND I had two gents fly out and spend all last week here on campus who I met at the London fair and applied the next day. They loved it here and will start this September. Can't have much more immediate results than that!"
Dan Seneker
Bishop's University (Canada)
"We've been doing FPP's Student Fairs for three years now. We started doing Brazil with three cities, then five cities, now we're doing six cities. We've been in Vietnam, in India, in UAE with FPP. This is a great platform for student recruitment. FPP is very professional."
Tshidiso Konese
University of Johannesburg (South Africa)
"I have been doing FPP fairs for two years. I do them because they are really well-organised fairs, good quality students, communication with the staff before, during and after if fantastic and for me it is an extremely good recruitment tool."
Carlos Meza
The University of Sydney (Australia)
"I've been working in the education market for more than a decade. It's been a pleasure, as it usually is, for me and the university to be at FPP events. I'm really a faithful customer, after years with the British Council and the University of Bristol ... coming to the events and leaving happy, and coming back to the next event and the next year. So it's been really great."
Rodrigo Gaspar
University of Strathclyde (United Kingdom)
"I had a very good experience at the FPP fairs and was pleased to speak with more than 500 students during the conference with whom I was able to exchange information about our various programs. Of course only time will tell as to their ultimate interest in or financial feasibility to apply to NKU, but I was encouraged by the numbers, and I found the staff to be very professional and helpful."
David Gutmann
Northern Kentucky University (USA)
"Thank you for all your efforts in organising the Road Show. It was a very unique and enriching experience for me and I'm sure that NU would love to participate in future events such as this."
Sophia Prabhakar
Nagoya University (Japan)
"I felt that I should let you know how happy I am with the whole event. To be honest I am not sure I have ever attended such a productive fair. Both the quantity and quality of the students was outstanding. I have met almost no student, out of the hundreds I spoke to, who didn't have the profile, the motivation and the interest for my programs."
Olivier Guillet
INSEEC (France)
"This is our third time participating in the FPP fairs, and we're absolutely delighted with the turnout. Each year, we've gone from strength to strength. The expertise that FPP has brought with them to organise a fantastic venue, a wonderful location, and really high quality students has been fantastic. We can see just how much business our education providers are doing here. We're absolutely delighted this year, as we have been with previous years, and we look forward to continuing our work with FPP."
Lisa Futschek
Education New Zealand (New Zealand)
"I am delighted to inform you that both fairs went really well for British Council IELTS. We engaged with more than a 100 potential clients in Madrid and in Barcelona the same. Please count on with us for next year on all your fairs!"
Araceli Huici
British Council (United Kingdom)
"I wanted to personally thank you for all the support you and your team provided during all of our events. The logistics and presentation level was absolutely marvelous, we had no problem with anything during the time of each fair in each city. We really enjoyed every fair, it has been quite an experience for all of us. We have reported everything to our colleagues and superiors, including the ministries ... it's safe to say it has not been our last cooperation with FPP."
Lubomír Majerník
Centre for International Cooperation (Czech Republic)
"The fairs in every city were excellent, I only heard praise! Organization, quality and number of visitors, coffee break... all very good! Congratulations!"
Silvia Bauer Fernandes
DAAD (Germany)
"It's great. There's good energy. The fair was full yesterday, it's full again today. It's very exciting. We're looking forward to the rest of the fairs."
Sarah O'Sullivan
Education in Ireland (Ireland)
"We engaged with more than 200 potential clients in Madrid and Barcelona. Please count on with us for next year on all your fairs!"
Araceli Huici
British Council (UK)
"FPP is not only the best education fair organizer, but is also an important strategic partner for us. They clearly prioritise customer satisfaction and since we first met them 12 years ago, they have constantly outdone themselves in organizing and managing education fairs.
Since 2014 we have been hiring FPP to organize our own event - AC EXPO - the largest education fair in Brazil for students willing to go to Australian and New Zealand. It has been a real pleasure to work with them and the results have been incontestable. I have no doubt that education providers may accomplish very good ROI after an FPP fair."
Vinicius Barreto
Australian Centre (Brazil, Colombia, Australia)
"We have been working with FPP for 8 years. It has been really good working with them, the organisation and quality of students is very good. We recommend FPP and EDUEXPOS."
Vitor Meneghetti
Hello Study (Brazil & Australia)
"We've been doing FPP for the past four and a half years, because of the quality of students. The number of applications that are converting are really good. It is part of our marketing plan every year now."
Felipe Rivera
Australian Option (Australia, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, China)

Do club owners or their staff have a responsibility to tell a member that they are exercising too much or that they are too thin?
During one of my personal training sessions, my trainer and I shared our concerns about a member of the club that we both think is a compulsive exerciser and suffers from anorexia nervosa. This member is in the club for hours at a time, moving from the treadmill to the elliptical to the Stairmaster—and then back again to each one. Her arms and legs are so thin that I fear for her safety on these machines, especially when she walks backwards on the Stairmaster.
My trainer has engaged this woman in a casual conversation and offered to help her add muscle. Her objective was to get the member into some training, find out about her nutritional habits and help her redirect her eating and exercising to a healthier level. Unfortunately, the member has not taken her up on it.
I know my trainer's heart is in the right place, and my initial thought was that someone at the club needs to say something to the member, but from what little I know of anorexia nervosa, the club staff might not have the capability to truly deal with this condition. Because people who suffer from this disorder have a distorted view of their bodies, getting through to them might take more than a few personal training sessions that involved nutritional guidance. It likely would take some psychological help, too. Still, I wonder if a trainer taking her under her wing could help her see that she needs help.
What do you do in your club when you become aware of a member who has an issue such as this? Are you morally obligated to share your concerns with this member? How do you start that conversation? Do you have a plan of action in place to help these members? And if you have confronted a member with an eating or exercise disorder, what was the result?

WD makes more profit than expected
Profits still way down on last year, though
Number 2 disk manufacturer Western Digital saw revenues down 25 per cent year-on-year but still made a profit in its third fiscal 2009 quarter (Q3 fy09). This was 82 per cent less than a year ago, but still exceeded Wall Street expectations.
The company had revenues of $1.6bn in Q3 fy09 ($2.11bn in Q3 fy08) and net income of $50m ($0.22/share) compared with $280m ($1.26/share) a year ago. Net income was affected by $14m charges associated with the SiliconSystems acquisition and $4m of restructuring charges. The company shipped 31.6m disk drives, down 8 per cent y-on-y and 11 per cent sequentially. This compares to Seagate shipping 38.4m drives in its first calendar 2009 quarter, which was 10 per cent down y-o-y and 5 per cent down sequentially.
WD's president and CEO, John Coyne, said: "We managed our market segment participation, product mix and costs to optimize our returns in a challenging environment. We have taken a series of actions to resize and restructure the business to remain profitable and cash flow positive at a $1.5 billion quarterly revenue level and the effects of these actions are already showing up in our results."
He noted growing shipments of WD's 2TB hard drive and branded goods. Looking ahead, if WD can sustain quarterly revenues above $1.5bn it will continue to be profitable, which contrasts with Seagate hoping for a return to profitability in 2010. ®

Public Affairs & Media Relations
For Faculty and Staff
Provide help when a reporter calls
The Office of Public Relations' Media Relations division is staffed by professionals with extensive experience in working with the media on a daily basis, including local, national and international press in all formats (print, broadcast and electronic). We issue press releases, organize press conferences, pitch story ideas to mass media, offer media training sessions, and manage media relations for MUSC, MUHA and MUSC Physicians. Our office also maintains a list of faculty experts available for comment on timely topics. Contact Tony Ciuffo at 843-792-2626 for assistance.
Manage media at your event
Typically, having media cover your event requires special expertise and resources. There may be security concerns for high-profile visitors, reporters may have particular seating or equipment needs, or you may need someone to escort media through patient areas (hospital and clinic requirement). No matter the need, our staff can address these issues expertly and efficiently. Contact a media relations team member for assistance.
Suggest a story!
It's the work of the people at MUSC that make this a place that is committed to changing what's possible in health care, so that makes YOU the experts on what is happening around campus. Tell us your idea for a story.
Video production
The Office of Public Relations offers video services for projects related to news stories, multimedia packages for the website, reporter B-roll and internal communications where appropriate. To learn more, contact the media relations team.
Social Media Guidelines
MUSC's social media guidelines outlines recommendations for participation in social media, including MUSC hosted social media and non-MUSC hosted social media in which an individual's affiliation with MUSC is known, identified or presumed. These guidelines will help minimize the business, legal and personal risks that may arise from an individual's use of social media during working or non-working hours. They also protect the privacy and safety of our patients, employees and students. You can access this in the CCMO website section of the intranet (horseshoe).
Communication policies and procedures
MUSC Public Relations has oversight of policies and procedures related to a number of media-related topics, including patient consent forms for participation in news stories, photography and filming on campus, condition report procedures and more.
Procedures for After-Hours Media Requests
MUSC's Office of Public Relations is open Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. We are closed on all state and federal holidays. Outside of these hours, a PR representative will be on-call to provide condition reports only. Any other requests (interviews, expert recommendations, etc.) must be made during regular office hours. In disaster, emergency or mass crisis situations, the on-call PR representative may be contacted.
To reach the on-call PR representative:
- Call 792-2123 to reach the paging operator.
- Ask to page the on-call PR representative. The paging operator will ask you to provide your name and phone number. It is also helpful if you provide the name and age of the patient that you are inquiring about at this time.
- Upon receiving a page, the on-call PR representative will call the MR directly to verify the request. Once the PR representative makes the necessary phone calls to obtain the condition report, he or she will follow up with the MR. This process may take several minutes, or sometimes longer if hospital staff are very busy.
- Again, only condition reports can be provided after hours. A condition report will include one of four words:
- GOOD: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious and comfortable. Indicators are excellent.
- FAIR: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious, but may be uncomfortable. Indicators are favorable.
- SERIOUS: Patient is acutely ill; vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits.
- CRITICAL: Vital signs are not stable and not within normal limits. Patients may be unconscious and indicators are unfavorable.
The release of additional information, without a written release form, is in violation of HIPAA regulations.
Protocol for Media Visits to the MUSC Campus
As Public Relations representatives at the Medical University of South Carolina, our office frequently works with local, regional and national media to facilitate news coverage of the progress involving research, education and patient care at our institution. We do our best to respond to all inquiries in a timely manner, with the expectation that our colleagues in the media industry will follow the necessary protocol while seeking information.
All media representatives (MR) wishing to film or conduct interviews anywhere on the MUSC campus must first contact the Office of Public Relations to arrange the visit and verify that a media escort will be available or is needed.
- The MR (including reporters and camera and/or audio operators) are not allowed to enter MUSC patient facilities without a member of the Public Relations (PR) staff escorting them.
- In the event that a PR staff member or departmental PR representative is unavailable for escort, the media representative will be informed that he or she must come back at a later time or date if an escort is required.
PRESS Badges: All MR entering MUSC facilities must obtain a PRESS badge upon arrival to campus via a PR staff member. The MR shall not be allowed in any area of the MUSC system without displaying the PRESS badge at all times and must be accompanied by an escort at all times.
- To receive a badge, the MR must present a photo ID to the Office of Public Relations staff member, or departmental public relations representative, and sign a log that includes the name of the MR, news organization, the specific purpose of the visit, date, and arrival time.
- Once the MR has completed his or her assignment, the MR must return the badge to the public relations staff member and the sign out time must be documented in the log.
Parking is available in the horseshoe outside of the university hospital on Ashley Avenue as spaces permit. MR wishing to reserve parking must notify the Office of Public Relations prior to the scheduled visit.
In the event that MR are found within patient areas without an escort, they will be immediately removed from the facility, and a course of further action will be determined in accordance with the MR's protocol violation.

STOCKTON - The Pacific men's basketball team returned home Thursday to regain its equilibrium and sole possession of second place in the Big West Conference.
STOCKTON - The Pacific men's basketball team returned home Thursday to regain its equilibrium and sole possession of second place in the Big West Conference.
The Tigers led wire-to-wire, but it wasn't easy in a 66-59 Big West Conference victory over Cal State Northridge before 1,865 at Spanos Center. Pacific is now 10-2 at home overall and 6-0 in the Big West and played this game with university president Pamela Eibeck and former Pacific president Donald DeRosa sitting courtside.
Pacific (14-10, 8-4) shot 50 percent from the field and built up a 16-point lead in the second half before the Matadors (13-13, 4-10) made an unsuccessful late push. Hawaii, which visits Pacific on Saturday, lost 89-65 at UC Davis on Thursday, giving the Tigers sole possession of second place behind Long Beach State.
"We had 21/2 or three guys playing well, which got us the win and I'll take it," Pacific coach Bob Thomason said. "I was hoping we'd have more guys playing well by now and we have to get to that point. I thought we did a great job defensively."
Senior forward Travis Fulton was Pacific's zone buster, finding seams for 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting. Offense against zone defenses had been an area of emphasis in practice this week after the troubles the Tigers had at Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara, and the work paid off.
"They're aggressive and get out and pressure with their zone," Fulton said. "It opens up the middle of the floor, so my job is to flash to those areas and hit shots when I'm open."
Fulton received scoring support from backup senior guard Rodrigo de Souza, who had a career-high 15 points while making 3 of 6 from 3-point range. De Souza said it was a relief overcoming so many mistakes, as he had four turnovers and senior point guard Lorenzo McCloud had seven, and the victory restored confidence that was lost in two defeats last week.
"We feel we have the team to be champions in this league," de Souza said. "We got off the tracks last week and tonight we got back to playing good basketball by sharing the ball."
Pacific had 19 assists on 23 baskets, with McCloud and de Souza getting four apiece. Junior guard Sama Taku played well, notching nine points, six rebounds and three assists before fouling out after 28 minutes. The Tigers outrebounded Cal State Northridge 35-31, which Thomason felt was a key.
Pacific also hounded the Matadors on defense, forcing 38 percent shooting. Cal State Northridge coach Bobby Braswell also lamented his team missing 13 of 31 free throws. Sophomores Stephan Hicks, who returned from a four-game absence because of a left knee injury, and Stephen Maxwell lead the Matadors with 16 points apiece.
"We couldn't get the offense going because they muscled us a little bit and we didn't have the physicality to handle it," Braswell said.
