is it legal to dribble the ball after rebounding your own miss when the ball only hit the backboard?
In this video, a college basketball player steals the ball, races down court, and avoids the defender by throwing a pass to himself off the backboard.    In all the (disorganized) basketball games I've played in, a shot had to hit the rim before the shooter was allowed to rebound. And that looks like a shot to me.  Obviously the officials allowed it, but I couldn't find an explicit mention in the . Is this ruled as a shot, and if so, why is it legal? I'd be interested in the answer for any level of basketball, though NCAA is the most relevant.
Tenure and tenure denial rates by universities Is there a way or website to find the tenure and tenure denial rates by universities and departments? I heard from some faculty that the tenure rate at X university is Y%, so I wonder if there is a way to find the statistics for all universities. How can I run an external program from C and parse its output? I've got a utility that outputs a list of files required by a game.  How can I run that utility within a C program and grab its output so I can act on it within the same program? UPDATE: Good call on the lack of information.  The utility spits out a series of strings, and this is supposed to be portable across Mac/Windows/Linux.  Please note, I'm looking for a programmatic way to execute the utility and retain its output (which goes to stdout). I'm using Microsoft Word 2010 and I worked in a word-2003 compatible document (.doc). After hours of working, I selected a half of text and did Ctrl+X to copy it into another document. Surprising, after closing the current document and opening a new one and pressing Ctrl+V, nothing happened. After closing original document, ms word asked me if I want to save the clipboard buffer and I pressed No, as I didn't knew that MS Word has it's own clipboard.  Is there a way to recover that text that was "cutten" from original document and never "pasted" to the new one? The PC was not rebooted so i guess all my temp files are here.

Update Eclipse with Android development tools v. 23 Why do gases have weight? I know that a gas is made of atoms or molecules moving freely in space.  When these particles hit the walls of where they're kept in they cause something called pressure.  But these particles never pile up on each other and push a surface down by their weight so that we can measure it as weight, not pressure.  So why do gases have weight? Note: This question is specifically about installed, desktop software. There is  specifically about free cloud-based software and services.  What free programs should every GIS user have installed?  I'm not necessarily referring to ESRI extensions or open-source products, but others that increase your productivity and ability to handle GIS tasks.  For example:    for writing code snippets or editing XMLs.  or  for quick graphic editing. I use  daily and I think it's worth mentioning. It's not GIS-specific, but it's a great tool, especially if used independently and on multiple projects where purchasing time-management software isn't reasonable. While it's not focused on GIS development,  has proven to be very useful in terms of increasing productivity and monitoring system resources. I have created a GIS "sidebar" on my desktop that holds all of my development tools, as well as links to the online resources I used the most. It's nice to be able to use one location, rather than many (e.g. taskbar, bookmarks in browser, search engine). Prove 24 divides $u^3-u$ for all odd natural numbers $u$ At our college, a professor told us to prove by a semi-formal demonstration (without complete induction):   For every odd natural: $24\mid(u^3-u)$   He said that that example was taken from a high school book - maybe I din't get something, but I really have no idea to prove that without using complete induction.  Any idea of smart demonstration?  Thanks for your help. (Excuse my bad English.) Segmentation Fault when attempting to print value in C How do I clone a single branch in Git?

I've learned that the torque on an object is just $ \text{perpendicular force}\times\text{radius}$ and that has worked well for things like seesaws but it doesn't take into account the torque of the object itself!    In the picture the rod has a total mass of 5kg, and by definition the torque on the right is greater than that on the left.  $$T=Fr$$   I am supposed to solve the question     What distance to the left of the fulcrum (triangle supporting the rod) would I have to put a 3kg weight to balance the rod?     I've tried calculating the net torque $T_{net} = I\alpha$ but I don't really know how to approach this. I'm looking for an explanation more than an answer. Would someone explain wheel sizes.  If I am not mistaken, the wheels on my Trek 520 touring bike are 700C. There are no markings, and of course, no documentation of any kind. I assume 700 means 700mm, so 700 / 25.4 = 27.56 inches.  If I measure the rim however, its diameter is approximately 25.1 inches.  If I buy Continental tires, the size is 28 inch, but I have to buy 27 inch Bontrager tubes.  To make matters worse, per this link, tires come in sizes of 26, 27, and 28 inch, and size 700.     How can I determine my wheel size, and are these various sizes interchangable. Also, is the 'C' suffix important, and what does it mean?  Of course the tires are marked, but I am under the impression (per the dealers comments) that Continental marks their tires differently than everyone else. Also, the tire markings don't help for ordering a new wheel.   With so many tire sizes available, how can I know if I am using the correct size.  After reading the various answers here, I should explain that my confusion on this matter stemmed from the fact that I used to work as an auto mechanic. In the auto industry, car tires are based on wheel size, 13", 14", 15" etc, and there is no possible way to mount a 15" tire on a 13" rim for example.  So when I saw all these different tire sizes, I assumed they all required a different wheel size, but in fact, there is essentially just one wheel diameter for my type of bike, which they refer to as 700C, which is actually 622mm.   I also initially assumed that the C referred to the wheel's width, but that isn't true either. The C is apparently just antiquated terminology.  So at least in theory, I can mount a 26", 27" 28" or 29" tire on my 700C (622mm) rim. I just need to verify the width of the tire is suitable my wheel width, which is what Sheldon Brown's article explains.  Also, I measured my Continental tires, which are marked as 28 inch. They actually measure 27 inches (fully inflated), which must be why my dealer calls their sizing non standard. This was a question from my textbook. This is how I approached it.   For the first part, you can do c(10,5) so you choose 5 of the 10 to be on a team.   For the second part, you have 10 ways to choose the "best player" and you multiply it by c(10,4) to pick the other 4 players. However, I am not sure how you can exclude the "worst player". Although this sounds subjective, I believe the question is saying that the "best" and "worst" players are distinct, whereas the other players aren't. Why can't I press the Install button when installing applications from unknown sources? I'm trying to sideload an application, as seen in the picture below.    I have allowed the installation of applications from unknown applied actions in settings, but I can't seem to press the install button. The cancel button works correctly and installing applications via adb install works correctly. What's the problem?  EDIT: For those who have this problem, using ChainFire's  will correct it because the app uses hardware compositing, and Android doesn't notice a "layer" on top of the current screen. How to do the same crop on a batch of photos? I've got a batch of photos (an owl coughing up a pellet in case you're curious).  I want to make an animated GIF out of them, but the result would be improved if they were all given an identical crop first.  I'm currently using Picasa for my basic photo editing on a Windows 7 PC.  While Picasa does have batch editing, crop is not one of the items on the batch menu.  Does Lightroom have a batch crop?  If there's a way to get Picasa to show me the coordinates of the crop selection rectangle, I could also use that information to do the same crop repeatedly.  Are there any tools that let you crop an animated GIF?  I know I can create the animated GIF by uploading the component images to Google+ and then looking in the Auto Awesome area. I don't know about tools for working with animated GIFs. Are the complements of two homeomorphic compact, connected subsets of $\mathbb{R}^2$ homeomorphic? Search by multiple tags I'd like to be able to search for questions by multiple tags; for example "questions tagged 'nhibernate' and 'web-services'".  I can get close by searching for "nhibernate web-services" but the results tend to be a few questions that relate to both terms--but much more largely just questions that relate to one or the other.
