The Naruto Shinobi Handbook!! (ナルト忍法帖!!, Naruto Ninpōchō!!) is volume 15 of the Naruto manga.
Chapter 127
- "The True Feeling of Life…!!" (生の実感…!!, Sei no Jikkan…!!)
Gaara, partially transformed, attacks Sasuke, and Sasuke has difficulty dodging. He thinks back to an earlier encounter with Gaara wherein Gaara explained his interest in killing in Sasuke. Gaara recognises that Sasuke has known true loss and loneliness, and now seeks strength. As these are also traits Gaara possesses, Gaara believes they are the same. By killing Sasuke, Gaara would prove himself superior and thus feel truly alive. Intending not to give Gaara what he wants, and to make sure he will be able to kill his brother Itachi, Sasuke attacks Gaara with Chidori.
Chapter 128
- "Crossing the Limits…!!" (限界を超えて…!!, Genkai o Koete…!!)
The pain caused by Chidori only increases Gaara's interest in the battle. After advancing his transformation further he attacks Sasuke again, this time even faster than before. Knowing Chidori is the only way to damage Gaara, Sasuke remembers what Kakashi told him about the technique: that his limit is two uses per day and, if he tried to exceed that, he would die. Having already used Chidori twice and knowing he will die anyway if he doesn't try, Sasuke uses a third Chidori, activating the cursed seal to give him the needed strength. While the attack succeeds, Sasuke is unable to move afterwards. Gaara quickly recovers and moves to finish Sasuke, but is stopped by Naruto.
Chapter 129
- "Pain…!!" (痛み…!!, Itami…!!)
Naruto has difficulty recognising Gaara in his transformed state. When Pakkun tells him who it is, Naruto remembers Gaara's claim that he is a monster and realises he wasn't exaggerating. Naruto suggests running, but Gaara takes his preoccupation to try and kill Sasuke. Sakura shields him, but Gaara immobilises her. Tormented about her selfless act, Gaara reflects on his childhood. When Gaara was a child in Sunagakure he only wanted friends. His peers feared him for being the host of Shukaku and ran when he was nearby, and he would accidentally attack them while trying to stop them. Sympathising with them, Gaara wondered what it was to feel pain.
Chapter 130
- "Love…!!" (愛情…!!, Aijō…!!)
Ignorant of pain because of Shukaku's protection, Gaara asked his uncle, Yashamaru, about it. Yashamaru tried to put the sensation to words, after which Gaara came to believe he felt pain in his heart. Trying to explain the difference between physical and emotional pain, Yashamaru told him that emotional pain could only be cured with love. Yashamaru added that both he and Gaara's mother, who gave her life to seal Shukaku within him, loved him. Excited, Gaara tried to find new sources of love to make his pain go away, but found none, not even from his father. While ruing his fate one night Gaara was attacked. He easily dealt with his attacker, only to discover afterwards that it was Yashamaru.
Chapter 131
- "The Name Gaara…!!" (我愛羅という名…!!, Gaara to Iu Na…!!)
Gaara apologised to Yashamaru for harming him, explaining that he didn't know who it was. He tried to rationalise Yashamaru's attack as an order of the Fourth Kazekage, but Yashamaru assured him that he had volunteered for the job. Despite his best efforts, Yashamaru had never been able to love Gaara, Gaara's existence coming at the cost of his sister's life, Gaara's mother. Since she didn't love Gaara either, Yashamaru tried to end Gaara's life by blowing himself up. Gaara survived and came to find love in proving his existence by killing others. Now intending to kill Naruto and his friends, Gaara attacks them. Naruto tries to summon Gamabunta to help him, but can only manage to summon Gamakichi.
Chapter 132
- "The Two… Darkness and Light" (二人…闇と光, Futari… Yami to Hikari)
To make sure that Naruto stays committed to the battle, Gaara begins to slowly suffocate Sakura, explaining that she will only be released if he is defeated. He then attacks Naruto, who protects Gamakichi from harm. Gaara's transformation continues to progress and Naruto realises that he might have turned out just like Gaara if he hadn't met Iruka and Team 7. Although he wonders if he can really defeat someone driven by so much hate, Naruto attacks, knowing that under no circumstances can he allow himself to lose.
Chapter 133
- "The Strong…!!" (強き者…!!, Tsuyokimono…!!)
With a newfound resolve to win, Naruto attacks Gaara with a group of shadow clones. He lands a lucky blow, damaging Gaara's defenceless underside, but this only gives Gaara a greater interest in killing him. Sasuke steps in, telling Naruto to free Sakura from Gaara's prison and flee. Having lost his entire family, Sasuke will not allow his teammates to die too, they being the only precious things he has left. Remembering Haku's words that strength can be gained when protecting others, Naruto refuses to run, instead creating a thousand shadow clones to properly start round two.
Chapter 134
- "The Naruto Shinobi Handbook!!" (ナルト忍法帖!!, Naruto Ninpōchō!!)
As Naruto and his thousand shadow clones attack a vulnerable Gaara, all of the onlookers are completely surprised. As a last resort, Gaara completely transforms into Shukaku and tries to crush Naruto with his sand. Still refusing to lose, Naruto uses the Nine-Tails' chakra to summon Gamabunta to escape. Seeing Shukaku, Gamabunta has no interest in fighting, especially since Naruto has yet to earn his trust. Gamakichi, Gamabunta's son, assures his father that Naruto is a good person since he protected him from Gaara. Enraged that anyone would attack a member of his family, Gamabunta agrees to help.
Chapter 135
- "A Storm-Like Battle!!" (嵐の如き戦い!!, Arashi no Gotoki Tatakai!!)
Gamabunta attacks Gaara in his full-Shukaku transformation. Fascinated by Naruto's ability to summon Gamabunta, Gaara puts himself to sleep to bring out Shukaku's personality, giving it control of the Shukaku-likeness. Elated to have been released, Shukaku attacks, and Gamabunta has difficulty dodging. Knowing they cannot win a long-range battle, Gamabunta asks Naruto to transform him into another creature better-equipped for close combat. Naruto turns him into a fox, which attacks Shukaku. As the two giants clash, Naruto leaps from Gamabunta to attack Gaara, intending to wake him up.

Universal Music Group and Google are now partners in the music-video business.
The largest of the four top recording companies and YouTube's parent company announced on Thursday that they are working together on Vevo, a new music and video entertainment service set to launch later this year. YouTube will handle the technology while Universal Music supplies the content. The two companies will share ad revenue.
The companies said and at this point it appears that Universal's content and artists will be the only label represented on the site. However, Doug Morris, Universal Music's chief executive, said in a conference call with the media that he is in negotiations with other top record labels and is confident they will join.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt said on the same conference call that YouTube and Universal Music have renewed their existing licensing agreement. YouTube will continue to be licensed to allow visitors to use songs from Universal Music. Professionally made videos from the label will only appear on Vevo, the companies said.
This is the first time that YouTube has launched a satellite Web site, Schmidt said but he added that he hopes there will be more.
For Universal Music, the move means that Morris has obtained the standalone music-video service that he has long wished for. Ever since MTV became a cultural force and huge financial success by offering music videos on TV, the record industry realized that it goofed in thinking of music videos as a promotional tool. Morris has said that in this era of declining revenue in the sector, he doesn't see anything as "promotional" and argues that music videos are worth cash.

Current Theme Song (aka what's playing on my ipod right now): Dry Your Tears, Afrika by John Williams [Amistad soundtrack].
Yesterday, this video had 17,000 views when I saw it. This morning it has 648,300 views. It was uploaded yesterday. Clearly few have forgotten Mr. Rogers. I want this song. This brought back childhood to me in a way I can't describe while making me want to dive into a thousand new things to learn. Go, Mr. Rogers. You are teaching me still. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

This is the pregame media scrum around Hideki Matsui, who was called up from Triple-A and will make his Rays debut in St. Petersburg tonight. The spectacle of Japanese fellows swarming their prey with cameras and notebooks is not a new one, and it's something we've come to expect every time a new NPB import comes along, but perhaps it bears some examining.
First off, in what profitable alternate universe does the Japanese media industry exist? When Matsui debuted with Triple-A Durham, 35 reporters were on the full-time Matsui beat. Thirty-five! Here in America, I'm not sure we have 35 newspapers anymore.
But it goes without saying that the Japanese appetite for 24-hour Matsui coverage must exist. Japan, don't you have anything better to do? I'm sure you have your own lives and your own interests and even your own sports, so why does Hideki Matsui dutifully plugging away at a series of one-year contracts entrance you so? I know he's still like this superdupermegastar, but he's not good anymore. He wasn't courted by the A's this winter, and if you know enough to hold the bat by the skinny end, there's a place for you in Oakland's lineup. Shouldn't the media be restaffing the Ryota Igarashi bureau instead?
What does each Japanese outlet hope to provide their viewers/readers that the competition can't, especially when they attend the exact same press conferences as everyone else? Designate a pool reporter and let the other 34 take the day off. The Suncoast is lovely this time of year. You don't see American outlets dispatching even a single reporter to track the movements of expat heroes Stephon Marbury in China or Clint Dempsey at Fulham. If something important happens, it'll trickle through on the wire two days later.
So what's the deal, Japan? I don't understand a lot of the things you do, but this whole "really caring a lot about national heroes" is one of the stranger ones. If you cause a press shitshow for every single Japanese ballplayer, they cease to be special. Take a cue from America. We only devote full-on media feeding frenzies to middling quarterbacks and adulterous golfers.

Gastro-intestinal problems
Over the past few years the issue of gastro-intestinal problems in PWS have become more prevalent. There are many issues around this starting with constipation, gastro-enteritis and stomach necrosis each of which are described in the papers cited here. If you suspect some sort of problem with a gastro complaint, it is essential to contact your GP, or even the Emergency Department of your hospital.
It has been observed that in most people with PWS there is an issue with slow-emptying of the stomach. It can take longer for the food to get through the digestive system and cause back-up in the bowel.
Many parents and care providers believe that because their child or adult has a bowel movement every day, this means they don't have a slow emptying bowel. This is not necessarily true. Even with a regular daily bowel movement the intestinal tract may not empty appropriately. As the colon becomes more
backed up with retained stool, the ability to evacuate stool is less effective. Over a long period of time, continuous, constant hard pushing has resulted in some people with PWS experiencing rectal prolapse. (The feeling of constant fullness and pressure on the anus or itching of the skin from irritation from bile
acids present in the stool can contribute to reasons that some people with PWS insert their fingers into their anus or pick at it.)
Constipation in Individuals with PWS
A descriptive study of colorectal function in
adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome: high
prevalence of constipation
Louise Kuhlmann1,2, Iben Moeller Joensson3, Jens Broendum Froekjaer4, Klaus Krogh2 and Stense Farholt1*
How do we know if the individual with PWS we're caring for has gastroparesis or a slow emptying bowel? What are the signs? What are the symptoms? What do we look for? The answers are, unfortunately, that there probably aren't many easily recognizable signs or symptoms. Because the abdominal core muscles are generally weaker in persons with PWS, the stomach can often appear to be more rounded. If food is not emptied quickly enough, the stomach can look rounded (distended) and feel "too firm" to the touch. On the other hand, for those who are taking growth hormone medication and are therefore leaner, the stomach can already feel "firm" to the touch.

"Over the past several years, we have learned many new things in the area of gastrointestinal health for persons with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). For years, there have been many anecdotal reports of persons with PWS of all ages having problems with swallowing, choking, stomach issues and chronic constipation. Up until recently, there had only been a few research studies on these issues, specific to persons with PWS. Studies have now documented low production of saliva (6); a high risk of choking (7), a high prevalence of constipation in adults with PWS (1) and documentation of slow stomach/gastric emptying and gastric rupture (2, 3, 4). Dr. Roxann Gross, PhD. (5) reported at the PWSA (USA) 2015 conference that many persons with PWS in her study were found to have significant swallowing issues. Food was visualized on x-ray, lodged in throats, but persons with PWS were unaware of it. We know that persons with PWS have low muscle tone. We are learning that this poor muscle tone affects their entire gastrointestinal system – mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines. All of these findings point to problems with feeding, nutrition and digestive health. With this new knowledge, we now need to rethink the approach to diet and nutrition for the person with PWS."

NEW YORK, N.Y. – General Electric's finance arm is cutting ties with gun dealers, halting financing offers at about 75 gun shops across the U.S. in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., massacre that took the lives of 20 schoolchildren and six teachers and administrators.
The December school shooting ignited a national debate about gun laws and drove some companies to distance themselves from the gun industry. Private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management announced a few days after the shooting that it would sell its controlling stake in Freedom Group International, the maker of Bushmaster rifles like the one used in Newtown.
General Electric Co.'s headquarters is in Fairfield County, Conn., about 20 miles from Newtown. Earlier this month, Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy signed a wide-ranging bill that includes new restrictions on weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines.
GE Capital started a "rigorous audit process" of its 200,000 customers due to "industry changes, new legislation and tragic events," spokesman Russell Wilkerson said in an emailed statement Thursday. GE Capital had originally cut ties with gun stores in 2008, but through the audit discovered less than 75 stores were still receiving financing packages because the store's business model had changed since then or it was grandfathered in.
One of those stores was Duncan's Outdoor Shop in Bay City, Mich.
Owner Glenn Duncan said that he received a letter in the mail in early April that said the store wouldn't be able to offer GE Capital loans to its customers. "I was really surprised," Duncan said in a phone interview Thursday.
The shop had been offering GE Capital loans to its customers for about three years. They'd use the six-month financing to buy pricier items, such as $2,000 safes used to store firearms, said Duncan. Others used the loans to buy add-ons for their gun purchase, such as a $300 scope that helps the shooter see far distances. Customers chose the loans because they have lower interest rates than credit cards, Duncan said.
About 5 per cent of the shop's customers used the loans, Duncan said, "and it was starting to grow." He expected loan use to rise this month because tax refunds were delayed. He assumed more people would take out a loan instead and pay it back when the refund arrived. Now, he's stuck trying to find another lender to fill the gap.
GE Capital said the change in its policy won't hurt have a material effect on sales. The change doesn't affect financing of guns purchased at stores like Wal-Mart, which sell more than just weapons.
Changes in GE Capital's lending policy were first reported on Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal.

About Lynching
About Lynching
Robert L. Zangrando
Lynching is the practice whereby a mob--usually several dozen or several hundred persons--takes the law into its own hands in order to injure and kill a person accused of some wrongdoing. The alleged offense can range from a serious crime like theft or murder to a mere violation of local customs and sensibilities. The issue of the victim's guilt is usually secondary, since the mob serves as prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. Due process yields to momentary passions and expedient objectives.
Vigilantism, or summary justice, has a long history, but the term lynch law originated during the American Revolution with Col. Charles Lynch and his Virginia associates, who responded to unsettled times by making their own rules for confronting Tories and criminal elements. "Lynching" found an easy acceptance as the nation expanded. Raw frontier conditions encouraged swift punishment for real, imagined, or anticipated criminal behavior. Historically, social control has been an essential aspect of mob rule.
Opponents of slavery in pre-Civil War America and cattle rustlers, gamblers, horse thieves, and other "desperadoes" in the South and Old West were nineteenth-century targets. From the 1880s onward, however, mob violence increasingly reflected white America's contempt for various racial, ethnic, and cultural groups. African-Americans especially, and sometimes Native Americans, Latinos, Jews, Asian immigrants, and European newcomers, felt the mob's fury. In an era when racist theories prompted "true Americans" to assert their imagined superiority through imperialist ventures, mob violence became the domestic means of asserting white dominance. Occasionally, this complemented the profit motive, when the lynching of a successful black farmer or immigrant merchant opened new economic opportunities for local whites and simultaneously reaffirmed everyone's "place" in the social hierarchy. Sometimes lynching was aimed at unpopular ideas: labor union organizers, political radicals, critics of America's role in World War I, and civil rights advocates were targets.
African-Americans suffered grievously under lynch law. With the close of Reconstruction in the late 1870s, southern whites were determined to end northern and black participation in the region's affairs, and northerners exhibited a growing indifference toward the civil rights of black Americans. Taking its cue from this intersectional white harmony, the federal government abandoned its oversight of constitutional protections. Southern and border states responded with the Jim Crow laws of the 1890s, and white mobs flourished. With blacks barred from voting, public office, and jury service, officials felt no obligation to respect minority interests or safeguard minority lives. In addition to lynchings of individuals, dozens of race riots--with blacks as victims--scarred the national landscape from Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1898 to Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921.
Between 1882 (when reliable statistics were first collected) and 1968 (when the classic forms of lynching had disappeared), 4,743 persons died of lynching, 3,446 of them black men and women. Mississippi (539 black victims, 42 white) led this grim parade of death, followed by Georgia (492, 39), Texas (352, 141), Louisiana (335, 56), and Alabama (299, 48). From 1882 to 1901, the annual number nationally usually exceeded 100; 1892 had a record 230 deaths (161 black, 69 white). Although lynchings declined somewhat in the twentieth century, there were still 97 in 1908 (89 black, 8 white), 83 in the racially troubled postwar year of 1919 (76, 7, plus some 25 race riots), 30 in 1926 (23, 7), and 28 in 1933 (24, 4).
Statistics do not tell the entire story, however. These were recorded lynchings; others were never reported beyond the community involved. Furthermore, mobs used especially sadistic tactics when blacks were the prime targets. By the 1890s lynchers increasingly employed burning, torture, and dismemberment to prolong suffering and excite a "festive atmosphere" among the killers and onlookers. White families brought small children to watch, newspapers sometimes carried advance notices, railroad agents sold excursion tickets to announced lynching sites, and mobs cut off black victims' fingers, toes, ears, or genitalia as souvenirs. Nor was it necessarily the handiwork of a local rabble; not infrequently, the mob was encouraged or led by people prominent in the area's political and business circles. Lynching had become a ritual of interracial social control and recreation rather than simply a punishment for crime.

John F. Callahan
Lynching did not come out of nowhere. Its actual and symbolic grounding in history and literature goes back to slavery and slavery's defining persons of African descent as property. During slavery there were numerous public punishments of slaves, none of which were preceded by trials or any other semblance of civil or judicial processes. Justice depended solely upon the slaveholder. Executions, whippings, brandings, and other forms of severe punishment, including sometimes the public separation of families, were meted out by authority or at the command of the master or his representative. Often, slaves from the plantation and, sometimes, nearby plantations were assembled and made to witness the punishment as an example of the master's absolute authority to wield the power of life and death over each and every slave. Underlying this action was the idea that black slaves were not truly human beings or, if human, certainly not equal or endowed with any right to life or liberty beyond what their owners saw fit to grant.
After emancipation, despite the efforts of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments and federal Reconstruction legislation, white Southerners sought ways, legal and extralegal, to assert a white supremacy so extreme as to justify meting out ritual death to black persons without any formal legal process. The rise of lynching as a specific race ritual of terror coincided with the systematic passage of state laws disenfranchising black voters and decreeing separate but equal civil and social facilities. This Jim Crow way of life, law, and custom was given implicit national endorsement by the Supreme Court in its 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson "separate but equal" decision.
In its random quality, lynching was arguably as bad or worse than the murders committed against slaves. During slavery anyone doing violence to a slave had to answer to that slave's master; otherwise the full weight of the law could be brought down upon whoever presumed to raise a hand against another mans human property. With the rise of lynching after the Civil War and the cessation of Reconstruction there was no such restraint. In place of the master was the more vague standard of justice held by a particular "white community." Lynching derived its power from the participation of numerous white citizens in the ritual murder and the approval or acquiescence in the action by the remainder of the white community. Here it should be noted that through successful filibusters members of the U.S. Senate from the former Confederacy (and their occasional allies from other states) upheld the right of individual states to the custom of lynching.
Although abhorrent to many, even to some of its silent, acquiescent partners, lynching was not an aberration in American race relations. Rather, it served as an extreme reminder of the unreasoning power the basest passions, fears, and hatreds of white Americans could exercise over the lives and humanity of black Americans. For "the ultimate goal of lynchers," as Ralph Ellison reflected in Going to the Territory (1986), "is that of achieving ritual purification through destroying the lynchers' identification with the basic humanity of their victims. Hence their deafness to cries of pain, their stoniness before the sight and stench of burning flesh. . . ." At issue, then, in historical terms and the imaginative terms of African American literature, is lynching's ritual capacity to define and annihilate the humanity of the black victim and that of every last member of his or her race, symbolically or, if necessary, literally.
According to John Hope Franklin (From Slavery to Freedom: A History of Negro Americans, 1967), "in the last sixteen years of the nineteenth century there had been more than 2,500 lynchings, the great majority of which were of Negroes." The early twentieth century did not see a significant decrease: "In the very first year of the new century more than 100 Negroes were lynched, and before the outbreak of World War I the number for the century had soared to more than 1,100." Lynchings declined in number but continued in ferocity during World War I. They were seized on so effectively by the Germans that, despite his Southern sympathies, President Wilson issued a statement against lynching and mob violence, But after the war more than a few returning black soldiers were lynched, some in their uniforms. The "Red scare" of 1919 was eclipsed by the racial violence and lynching fever of what James Weldon Johnson termed "the Red Summer." Riots and killings, some of them lynchings, occurred in Chicago, Texas, Washington, D.C., and with particular brutality that October in Arkansas. Although lynching was by no means an isolated, aberrant occurrence in the 1920s when the Klan was resurgent or in the 1930s when the depression fueled the hunt for racial as well as political scapegoats, the phenomenon was no longer virulent enough to claim one victim every two to three days. In its sporadic occurrences over the next decades, lynching continued to be a vehicle of terror and a last resort in opposition to the drive for political and civil rights through the 1950s, 1960s, and beyond.
There are convergences and divergences between lynching as a historical and a literary phenomenon. Though the sexual fears, guilt, and fantasies of white men and sometimes women (and to an almost negligible degree the actions of black men) played a role in lynching and became a central motif in literary representations by African American writers, the record is less sensational. "Although the impression was widely held that most of the Negroes lynched had been accused of committing rape on the bodies of white women," John Hope Franklin writes, "in the first fourteen years of the twentieth century only 315 lynch victims were accused of rape or attempted rape." Others were accused of homicide, robbery, insulting whites, and other "offenses." Not surprisingly, what literary expressions of lynching have in common with written and oral eyewitness accounts of mob violence are the ritual elements. Ralph Ellison calls lynching "a ritual drama that was usually enacted ... in an atmosphere of high excitement and led by a masked celebrant dressed in a garish costume who manipulated the numinous objects (lynch ropes, the American flag, shotgun, gasoline and whiskey jugs) associated with the rite as he inspired and instructed the actors in their gory task."
Ellison's observations bridge the gap between history's documentary discourse and the imaginative, mythic rhetoric of literature. At times the mob has a leader, at times not; at times the leading participants are masked, at others not; at times the brutality, though appealing to and possessing ritual elements, is spontaneous and chaotic; at other times carefully planned in advance, even down to advertisements in local newspapers. What is striking, however, is that lynching as an American race-ritual has exerted a powerful pull upon the imaginations of African American writers. Paradoxically, lynching is an even stronger motif for writers after the period between 1880 and 1920 than for earlier writers. As African American literature became more abundant and more prominent in the latter half of the twentieth century lynching, like slavery, came to seem a ritual actuality of race in American life that black writers felt bound to confront and perhaps imaginatively transform or transcend in asserting their African American identity. For the writers who must somehow contain and create past, present, and future, lynching has been an unavoidable, inexorable consequence of race, slavery, and blackness in the United States. Furthermore, though lynching singled out its victims, its point was unmistakable: Any black person who enough white people suspected or considered guilty of any offense was subject to murderous, extralegal punishment almost certain not to call down any consequences upon the heads of the perpetrators. Whatever their different approaches to matters of form, technique, style, or subject matter, black writers have represented and confronted this condition and consequence of blackness in America.
Throughout African American literature lynching tends to be a thread of the ancestors' common experience and a cautionary tale in the historical and imaginative present of American experience. In Exorcising Blackness: Historical and Literary Lynching and Burning Rituals (1984), Trudier Harris explores the connections between lynching as a historical and a literary phenomenon. Her study demonstrates the extent to which lynching has been and continues to be rooted in the imagination of black writers no matter what their generation, genre, or gender. Also noted is the great diversity with which the phenomenon of lynching is treated by African American writers even as these authors show, in Harris's words, that "black heritage, via black history, is a continuing and integral part of black existence in spite of its brutal and dehumanizing aspects."
In Jean Toomers "Blood-Burning Moon" and to a lesser extent in "Kabnis" and elsewhere in Cane (1923), for example, a surviving black character is utterly devastated as a consequence of lynching. In "Blood-Burning Moon," Louisa is moonstruck. She has no articulate sense that her involvement with a white man and then a black man would lead to the white man's ineffectual rage against his powerful black competitor. In the knife fight the white man starts he is quickly killed by the black man. Tom Burwell, who kills in self-defense, is then immediately burned alive in ritual fashion by a white mob. Toomer imagines Louisa alone in the street afterwards singing to the full "blood-burning moon," the other black folks huddled inside their shacks.
In a very different response the narrator of James Weldon Johnson's The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man (1927), a stranger passing for white in a southern town, decides to continue passing after he witnesses a black man dragged into town and burned alive in a carefully planned lynching complete with the rebel yell and attended by men, women, and children. Few characters (or their creators) in African American literature enjoyed the ambivalent choice belonging to Johnson's narrator. In Richard Wright's "Big Boy Leaves Home" (1938), when Big Boy and Bobo accidentally shoot and kill a white man, the black community swings into action knowing it will be subject to destruction by fire or worse. Its members realize all they can do is try to prevent the lynching of their sons, and they instantly put all of their ingenuity and resources behind the escape. Bobo is caught and lynched in a fall carnival ritual of dismemberment and burning in front of the town's men, women, and children while Big Boy is an invisible witness from the bottom of a lime kiln in an adjacent field. In the morning Big Boy escapes hidden in the back of a truck bound for Chicago, driven by someone's brave relative.
The effects of lynching are diverse: paralysis, solidarity; and escape, often to ghettos in the North. One effect explored is the appalling sense of the absolute power, outside any process of law, justice, or rationality, that could be brought to bear to keep the idea and practice of white supremacy alive. Black writers from William Wells Brown, whose Clotel (1853) depicts the burning of a black slave, to almost every African American writer of note, from Charles Waddell Chesnutt and Paul Laurence Dunbar at the turn of the century to Robert Hayden and Ralph Ellison at midcentury, to Toni Morrison, Michael S. Harper, and Ernest J. Gaines in the late twentieth century, have explored black Americans' response to lynching and its prevention through abundant use of what Ellison calls "shit, grit, and mother wit." In a reversal of the literary and historical pattern, John Edgar Wideman had his novel, The Lynchers (1973), turn on the plot hatched by four black men to lynch a white policeman. Wideman's novel, like almost all other representations of actual or aborted lynchings in African American literature, shows such plans and deeds done at the cost of the humanity of victim and perpetrator alike.

Antilynching Campaign
Dickson D. Bruce, Jr.
Antilynching Campaign: a movement to end mob violence against African-Americans--particularly the summary execution of individuals accused of crime (often the rape of white women)--in the southern United States during the period from the 1880s to the 1940s. The antilynching campaign, led by such organizations as the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Council for Interracial Cooperation (CIC), and the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching (ASWPL), sought to fight lynching through education or legal action, or by securing federal legislation against it.
Women played a major role in the campaign. The most effective leader in its early development was Ida B. Wells-Barnett. An African-American teacher and journalist, Wells-Barnett was moved initially by the 1892 Memphis lynching of three black businessmen whose success had outraged their white competitors. Responding with a series of newspaper columns, later expanded into the widely circulated pamphlet Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases (1892), Wells-Barnett documented the innocence of many victims of lynching, especially those charged with rape, while denouncing the failure of leading white southerners to act forcefully against the evil. In 1895, she published a larger investigative work, A Red Record, which served as a major resource for the campaign itself. Wells-Barnett led legal efforts to prevent lynchings and worked through both the NACW and the NAACP (an organization that she helped found) to secure antilynching legislation. It was through these organizations that other black women, including the writers Angelina Weld Grimké and Georgia Douglas Johnson, also became active in the effort.
Beginning in the 1920s and 1930s, an increasing number of white women, especially in the South, joined the antilynching movement. Revolted by the brutality of lynching, and resenting the white southern defense of lynching based on the "protection" of white womanhood, women such as Jessie Daniel Ames and others worked through the CIC and, after 1930, the ASWPL to try to bring the practice to an end. Focusing on education and the courts--and ambivalent about federal legislation--they worked to create a climate of opinion among white southerners that would lead to lynching's demise.
Although both the CIC and the ASWPL chiefly involved women activists rather than writers, those organizations provided a background for the work of one of the most eloquent white literary opponents of lynching, and of racial injustice in general, the Georgia writer Lillian Smith. In such major works as her 1944 novel Strange Fruit and her 1949 collection of essays Killers of the Dream, Smith elaborated on arguments developed by ASWPL activists that linked lynching to a larger system of racial and sexual pathology and exploitation in the South.
With a decline in lynching in the 1940s, most of those involved in the campaign began to focus on other issues. Nevertheless, the campaign itself provided an important background to the larger battle against racism and segregation that ultimately took shape in the southern United States.

Tonight I was getting the kids ready for bed and told Stella to come to the kitchen for her medicine, she walks out like this:
She can never have on enough accessories!
The kids had school today and this is the paper that Stella brought home from school. You can see that their are dotted line triangles that she is suppose to connect the dotted lines with to learn how to draw a triangle. Her work is in purple, I thought she did pretty good for a three year old but I am her mom and think that everything that she does is wonderful!

This evening we got out our Elf on the Shelf book and read it. I think that this should be interesting to see how it will effect Stella's behavior, Rhett I think is still too young to understand that Santa is watching if he is naughty or nice. It was funny, we could not get Stella to understand that you have to name your elf you don't just call it Elf on the Shelf. She finally chose Owen, so, Owen will be letting Santa know how one little girl is behaving around this house!

After church today my mom and I went and ran a few errands. While we were out we got Stella a new nativity scene that is by Veggie Tales. She already has one that is little tike but she is really into Veggie Tales so we thought she would like it. Well, she does but she likes both and won't let Rhett play with either one! Tonight she was busy hiding all the pieces in her bed so that he would not be able to find them!

We came home today from the lake house and have been doing laundry. This evening Rhett and I were hanging out and I realized that he must be pretty tired because this is what I saw: He is so funny when he is ready for bed, the kid is ready for bed.
I just love this little guy, when he sees someone sitting on the floor he runs for their lap and sits right down into it.

Happy Black Friday Shopping everyone! I have to say it was really nice and cozy in my bed this morning while all of you crazy people were waiting in long cold lines to get into stores! I did order a couple of things on line today but that is the only shopping I did, I will probably regret not getting some of those wonderful deals but life will go on. This afternoon I did take Stella to see Disney's new movie Tangled. It was really cute and it was fun to spend some time with just her and I. I love my Stella.

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I woke up still pretty sick to my stomach and did not want to make anyone else in my family sick so, I sent Jason and the kids with my parents to Thanksgiving lunch with the rest of the family while I stayed behind and rested. I have to say that I was really sad to miss out on all the wonderful food and just being around the family. It just makes me a little more thankful for my good health and wonderful family. Jason said the kids ate really good and Rhett put away the food!

We are back at the lake house today. I am not feeling really good, the car ride over was an adventure but we made it and hopefully I will start feeling better. I thought it was funny tonight I looked over and there are my two playing on their gadgets. Stella has my iphone and Jason on the lap top.

This has been so funny. Stella thinks that nativity scenes are really cool and loves to play with them. (Makes me think that maybe a doll house is not such a bad idea for Christmas) She will stand at the table for an hour moving them around and making them do different things. Today she informed me that they needed to take a nap because baby Jesus had kept everyone up all night with his crying!
I later noticed that she was taking decorations from the tree and putting them with Mary and Joseph when I asked what was going on she said that they needed some breakfast in bed but don't worry they won't get any crumbs on their sheets!
Stella I love you and all the wonderful things that you come up with!

Well, Jason and I are home from our wonderful weekend of rest and relaxation. We are back and getting ready for the week ahead. Jason thought I had lost my mind this evening but soon realized that it was a pretty good idea. Stella loves to paint so I let the kids paint the dishwasher this evening. It was great because to clean up they just put in the bathtub and shut the door to the dishwasher and turn it on! They had so much fun with it.

I feel really bad today, while Jason and I have been getting some much needed rest and enjoying a few good meals and saw a couple of movies, my mom and Rhett have had a nasty tummy bug! I feel so bad that my mom has been sick today but even worse that they have had to deal with Rhett also being sick! Thank goodness that no one else got it and that Mallory was there to get Stella out of the house so that the other two could sleep and my dad could take care of them.

This afternoon we dropped the kids off at Gigi and Papi's and headed down to the lake house, just Jason and I! I was so excited to just have a little time with out the kids, I feel bad saying that but I was really in need of some rest. I knew the kids were in great hands and were going to have a lot of fun, my cousin Mallory was also at the house to help out! Thanks Mallory!
This is funny, Stella sleeps on the futon in my parents room when she stays at their house. Well, I guess she wanted to make sure they could find her when they came to bed this evening because she left them a map in sticky notes around her bed!
Yes, she is wearing pearls to bed, why is that odd to people?

The kids had school today and Stella's class had a special Thanksgiving lunch. Jason and I got to go and have lunch with her and she was very excited to see us there. I have to say it is fun to see her in that different environment and how she acts. I only had my phone with me so I got just )this sweet shot of her getting ready to give me a kiss. Sweet girl (well, most of the time!)This afternoon the kids had taken naps and when I got Rhett up I did not put his pants back on him. I had looked over at one point and totally thought of the movie with Tom Cruise called Risky Business. Rhett just needed a broom for a guitar and some socks. (Maybe a good idea for Halloween next year.) When Jason walked in the house this evening he looked at Rhett and instantly said "Well, hello Risky Business!" I just started laughing that we had both thought the exact same thing.
Well, later this evening we had some serious riskiness going on around here. We were cleaning up dinner and look over, Rhett is standing dancing and smiling and there is a diaper laying on the ground next to him. Sure enough, he had some how gotten his diaper off and only had his shirt on, that is what you call RISKY BUSINESS!
And of course, Stella had to check to make sure it was his diaper laying on the floor, not sure who she thought the diaper would belong to seeing as he is the only one that wears diapers in our home!

This morning Stella was looking through all the magazines that had arrived in the mail the past couple of days. Someone in this house is making a list for Santa, I sure hope Santa get a surprise bonus or raise the the next couple of weeks because one little girl has a pretty big list! Another sippy cup bites the dust in this house! I was taking a pic of Stella and look over to see this going on, I have a rule about our cups, they can spill once but a second mess means they go in the trash! Rhett has figured out that ones that have nipples that are removable he can bite on them and pull them out. NOT cool for me to have to keep cleaning up the mess!

This is what dinner normally looks like at our house, well, I am normally in the chair next to Rhett, just imagine me in my spot. This is what happens every night at dinner, about twenty times. Rhett throws his bottle and it end up on the ground.
After the twentieth time, Dad throws his hands up and is done!

The kids have been pretty good today, we are are just hanging out at the house being kind of lazy. Stella told me she was going to drive a train. I said that sounded like a great thing to do, the next thing I know this is what is going on in my house. This is just a prime example of my kids personalities. Stella is in charge, she is the driver of the train and telling everyone what and how they are suppose to do things. Rhett is a long for the wild ride, he may be a passenger but he is going to do it his way and probably a little bit dangerous. (photos are with my phone so not the greatest.) Just so everyone knows, no children were hurt in making these photos, we are all about safety around this house! (do you hear all that sarcasm in my voice?)

Today after church we were to eat and Rhett was just done with being at the table. Gigi and I took him outside for a little while to walk around while everyone else was finishing their meals. Rhett had his first walking injury, I am sure it is a first but will not be a last. He was going down a ramp and feel flat on his face, he cut under his nose on the cement.

WOOOO PIG SOOOOIE! Jason, Stella, and I got to freeze our booties off and attend the last home game of the Razorbacks. (Rhett got to stay nice and warm at Gigi and Papi's house) It was a really good time and really nice to spend a little one on one time with Ms. Thing. Pretty sure Rhett enjoyed his one on one time with Gigi and Papi just as much! The game was fun but not the most exciting, we were winning by a pretty large spread so, at half time with went back to the house with everyone else to watch it by a nice warm fire! Stella eating her hot dog, she thinks that anytime you attend a sporting event it means that you get to eat a hot dog.
Giving Daddy some love. (please ignore the fact that she has food hanging out of her mouth, GROSS!)
Sitting on Mr. DW lap. It is fun seeing her sitting on his lap and chatting with him because he is one of my dad's best friends but my good friend Erin's dad. I have spent many hours in a car with him chatting as a little girl. Our families live about thirty minutes apart but he worked in the town that we lived, on Friday evenings after work he would stop and pick me up for sleep overs at his house. Those little drives would give us a chance just to chat and hang out. It is now fun to see my daughter having some of those chats with a very nice and sweet gentlemen.
Did I mention that Barbie got to attend the game with us? No, she was not cold at all in her swim suit, I do not even know why you would ask such a silly question. I mean we had to put some sun screen on the poor girl because she was going to get a sun burn at the 6 PM game and 40 degree weather. I do not know why anyone would think that this was odd or why her father was just shaking his head at us.
When we got back to the house, Stella took Rhett for a ride on the rocking horse.

South Carolina says Jadeveon Clowney hasn't committed violation
Jadeveon Clowney draws attention everywhere he goes—on the field and off it.
Expected to be a top pick when he enters the NFL draft, the South Carolina defensive end is a target of autograph seekers and the university responded Wednesday to questions about Clowney-signed items showing up on eBay.
South Carolina found no violations regarding the signed and authenticated items signed by Clowney, GoGamecocks.com reported.

"We have investigated things that have been on eBay with him and student-athletes before,†associate athletics director Chris Rogers told GoGamecocks.com. "In the situations I can say we looked into, there was no further for us to go, and we determined there was no violation.â€
Hundreds of signed Clowney items appear on sale on eBay, prompting questions in light of the news earlier this week regarding Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel.
Manziel is reportedly being investigated by the NCAA after signing autographs for at least two autograph brokers who allege Manziel was paid for the signings.

It is not a violation for college athletes to sign items, but is if they are paid to do it.
"I have seen pictures of him in a hotel signing stuff before,†Rogers told GoGamecocks.com. "We are monitoring eBay regularly so any of those sorts of things that come, whether it's autographed memorabilia, pictures of a student-athlete, whatever it might be, basically what we are trying to ascertain is, 'Is there credible enough information to investigate further?'
"If you look up Jadeveon Clowney there are hundreds and hundreds of hits. We are trying to ascertain which of those are worth pursuing and which are not.â€

Acceleration! That's the byword in today's RIA marketplace, where the trend for large 'consolidator' firms to 'roll up' smaller RIA firms is rapidly picking up speed. That's in contrast to a few years ago, when the financial downturn forced roll-up firms to slow down their activities and make fewer deals.
Why the change? First off, many RIA holding companies (rollups) are now flush with funds from large private equity firms, so the market is once again in acquisition mode. Secondly, with the rise of Gen X and Gen Y investors, who expect heightened levels of client service, many smaller RIA firms are seeking ways to upgrade their service offerings by rolling up into larger entities. And thirdly, regulatory changes such as Dodd-Frank are forcing these smaller RIA firms to reassess their abilities to meet compliance regulations on their own, and seek strategic partnerships or roll-up opportunities that mitigate the cost and risk.
The Consolidators' Dilemmas
When an aggressive RIA holding company brings smaller firms into the fold—and gains mass as a consolidator of multiple firms—it is forced to contend with several key questions:
Does it try to impose some level of uniformity on the disparate firms it now possesses? How does it maximize efficiencies and economies across these entities? How does it ensure that the clients of its rolled-up firms continue to be satisfied in the face of change, and that client retention remains high? And of course, how does it leverage these client relationships to increase revenue and profits?
The success of the holding company depends on how well it answers these questions. For example, if a holding company consists of 20 acquired RIA firms, and they're each still using their own internal systems (including 10 different portfolio management systems, for example), it isn't possible to simply flip a switch and suddenly consolidate them all into a single streamlined operation. Rather, the holding company needs to find and implement solutions that will work over time—whether this involves making adjustments to the respective corporate cultures, adopting new technologies, or launching concerted "silo busting" initiatives. Right now, let's focus on new technology, with a specific look at how it relates to the lifeblood of any firm's business: its data.
Dealing With the 'Data Disconnect'
The greater the number of firms that are rolled up into a large RIA holding company, the greater the likelihood of a 'data disconnect.' That's because there may be huge differences in the operations of each acquired firm across the holding company—with no consistency on a firm-by-firm basis as to how they gather, process and report on data. So the management team at the holding company may be receiving internal reports that give them an uneven picture of how each of the acquired firms is doing.
This problem is exacerbated by lack of access to data, which makes it difficult for the management team to make smart, forward-looking business decisions. For example, what if the team wants to know the amount of the total assets held by the clients they've acquired? They'll find that this figure is often a mystery, since the acquired firms may have no visibility into their client's held-away accounts, such as 401(k)s and 529s.
Or if these firms do get the data, they may still be manually entering it, which consumes countless hours and diverts the firm's advisors from more rewarding tasks such as serving clients and growing the business. This drives up costs, lowers profitability—and worst of all, leads to under-served and perhaps dissatisfied clients.
Data Aggregation Gives RIA Rollups an Advantage
As RIA holding companies grapple with the intricacies of bringing together multiple firms, they have expressed particular interest in data aggregation technology, which gathers complex account data from thousands of institutions and delivers it to advisory firms on a daily basis.
The advantage of data aggregation is that advisors can see the entirety of their clients' assets, such as 401(k)s and 529s, which otherwise wouldn't be visible. And by getting this total transparency, advisors can not only monitor the performance of these held-away accounts, they can also start to advise clients on them—and eventually take them under management (and tally them as AUM). All without the burden and cost of manual data entry. .
Quite simply, for today's holding company, data aggregation is the way to see and report on all of the assets at all of the RIA firms they've rolled up. It's the key to gauging the company's pipeline of future fee-based revenue—essential for making decisions about which course the holding company should take moving forward. And that makes it an effective succession planning tool, by which advisors can project the ultimate value of the business they've worked to build, and ensure that they receive fair remuneration as it passes into other capable hands.

Team Sky broke a victory drought in major one-day races stretching back over 500 days when Ian Stannard took a surprising but well-deserved victory in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. The British team have never managed to translate the dominance they exercise in stage races into single-day events, and even this win was a product as much of one man's tenacity, strength and resilience (plus a seeming imperviousness to cold) as the well-controlled racing by numbers we've seen from Sky at the Tour de France.
But Sky still played a blinder, even when it looked like the final selection – Stannard off the front with the dangerous fast finisher Greg Van Avermaet, Edvald Boasson Hagen tagging along on in a mistimed chase by Niki Terpstra and 2012 winner Sep Vanmarcke 15 seconds behind – might not have been the perfect one. Van Avermaet's a consistently high finisher in the Classics, with a decent sprint, and as Stannard did the lion's share of the work in their 17-kilometre break, he was the clear favourite. Sky's better sprinter, Boasson Hagen, looked marooned as Terpstra and Vanmarcke, tired from earlier attacks, failed to close the gap.
But Het Nieuwsblad sprints are not always logical. The finishing straight is a significant climb, which sucks the jump out of the sprinters' legs. Vanmarcke's 2012 win came at the expense of Tom Boonen, for example, and Stannard surprised Van Avermaet by going for a long one, a lumbering diesel-powered slow acceleration which nevertheless distanced the Belgian significantly. It's not clear which froze first, the Belgian's brain, or his legs, but he seemed to be stunned by the power and speed with which Stannard was riding to the line. Van Avermaet painfully closed the gap, then started to come around Stannard, but the Belgian needed Stannard to slow down, and he simply didn't. Van Avermaet did pass Stannard, but only once the finishing line was behind them.
Stannard is the first British rider to win Het Nieuwsblad, and the second Sky rider, after Juan-Antonio Flecha in 2010. The team's last major one-day race win came on September 27 2012, through Rigoberto Uran at the Giro del Piemonte, and they received much ridicule for their attempt to reinvent the Classics preparation process in 2013, when they favoured training over racing at certain moments. Though they got good results, notably with Ian Stannard (sixth in a freezing cold Milan-San Remo) and Geraint Thomas (fourth in E3 Prijs and Het Nieuwsblad), the plan was written off as a failure at worst, and a work in progress at best. Sky have never lacked strong one-day riders – will the 2014 Het Nieuwsblad be seen as the turning point in their Classics fortunes?
Sky weren't the only team with a point to prove in Belgium. Omega Pharma-Quick Step have amassed one of the strongest-looking flat Classics squads of the last decade, and showed devastating form in the Tour of Qatar. BMC came with ambition, having not shone in the first half of 2013, while Belkin also came to Belgium with their A-team.
Of these four teams, it looked like BMC had misjudged the race when they missed an important split between the Leberg and Molenberg climbs with 45 kilometres to go. An attack by GP Marseille winner Kenneth Van Bilsen (Topsport Vlaanderen) pulled six riders clear: Niki Terpstra of Omega Pharma, Lars Boom of Belkin, Boasson Hagen, the surprising Egoitz Garcia (Cofidis) and FDJ pair Arnaud Demare and Yoann Offredo.
This group split again on the Molenberg, as Terpstra surged away, followed by Boom, then Boasson Hagen. The trio pulled clear on the flat, exposed road at the top, perhaps mindful that Tom Boonen and Fabian Cancellara's famous 2010 Tour of Flanders escape had been forged on the same road. While Garmin and BMC chased, having missed the boat, the leading three worked well together to build a lead of 45 seconds with 30 kilometres to ride.
But their chances suffered a crucial blow when Boom punctured a few kilometres later, which had the effect of reducing the lead group's firepower by a third, and removing any semblance of co-operation between Terpstra and Boasson Hagen, who bickered, surged, freewheeled, attacked and generally played silly buggers, while a smooth pursuit behind them, led by Belkin, swallowed up their lead.
Het Nieuwsblad may be held just over the border from France, but a wet-weather one-day race in the Flemish Ardennes is as far removed from the Tour as a Second Division mid-table clog on a muddy pitch is from the Champions League final, and by this point in the race, the hills, cobbles and freezing conditions had reduced the contenders to 18 riders. This always has the effect of swinging the balance of power away from defensive, controlled racing to attacking, as team leaders are left without domestiques to counter or close gaps. Strength in numbers still counts, however, and Sky were the only team with three riders at the front. Sure enough, as soon as Terpstra and Boasson Hagen were caught, with 17 kilometres to go, Stannard counterattacked, followed by Van Avermaet. Their team-mates (Luke Rowe and Boasson Hagen for Stannard, Taylor Phinney for Van Avermaet) sat tight, while the teams who'd missed the boat, notably Belkin and Omega Pharma would have to lead the chase.
Terpstra and Vanmarcke set off in pursuit of Stannard and Van Avermaet, policed by Boasson Hagen, and it looked at this point as if Van Avermaet would be the winner if the gap was not closed, while Boasson Hagen would be favoured if it was. Terpstra and Vanmarcke closed to within 10 seconds, but couldn't finish the job. Terpstra had earlier looked like the strongest rider in the race, but when he really needed to be the strongest, he fell short and will be ruing the expensive accelerations he made in the final quarter of the race. Omega Pharma had blown it, while Belkin could rightly feel unlucky that Boom had punctured at such a critical moment. BMC played the finale perfectly, but for one thing: Stannard's incredible strength in a hard race, and, perhaps, a new-found confidence for Sky, who marshalled their riders well in a highly tactical race.

There's a certain look a dining critic gets when a compelling menu item turns out to be as good as it sounded. It's a goofy grin that says, "Hey, I didn't think I could be surprised anymore." In the past year, our reviewers tasted roughly 5,000 dishes and still found themselves flabbergasted. Sometimes perfection popped up in unexpected places, such as in Flamingo's fish tacos; other times the spark came from exotica like Riccardo Trattoria's hearty tripe Florentine. The true pleasure of the quest, though, lies in the discovery of stunning creations—beer jam-glazed quail with aged Gruyère at Vie comes to mind. Here are 124 such revelations. In the words of a not-so-great poet, eat 'em and smile.

UCONN MEN'S BASKETBALL: St. John's beats UConn at Madison Square Garden
NEW YORK >> Shabazz Napier didn't start the game. Ryan Boatright didn't start scoring until there were less than five minutes remaining. UConn trailed by 15 points early in the second half and showed no signs of being able to come back.
And then, the Huskies did. Yet again. You didn't expect UConn's last game of the year at Madison Square Garden to end that easily, did you?
Paced by the hot hands of Napier and Omar Calhoun, UConn put together another one of its patented comebacks, climbing all the way back to take its first lead of the game with 4 ½ minutes left.
But St. John's responded with a 9-0 run, and this time, the Huskies' noble fight fell short in a 71-65 loss at Madison Square Garden.
Not that head coach Kevin Ollie was extolling in any moral victories.
"When you play with energy, you see what happened in the second half," Ollie said afterwards. "That's on me, and I'm going to have to make changes."
Napier didn't start the game due to an unspecified violation of team rules. He didn't sit out long, entering just over six minutes into the action, but hardly made his presence felt with authority. Neither Napier nor Boatright, who combine to average more than 33 points per game, scored in the opening half. In fact, Calhoun (13) and DeAndre Daniels (seven) accounted for all the Huskies' first-half scoring as they trailed 31-20 at the break.
"We wanted him on the court," said Daniels. "We just came out really flat, not playing together and not talking to one another."
It's the second straight game UConn has had a horrific first half. Against South Florida on Sunday, the Huskies shot 19 percent in the opening half and trailed 27-15 at the break before rallying back for an overtime victory.
"If I knew what was missing, we wouldn't have come out like that today," said Niels Giffey (nine points, 10 rebounds). "We're still working on it, still trying to figure it out. The main thing we're talking about right now is energy. You could just feel the difference in the second half."
The Red Storm extended its lead to 15 (39-24) after Jakarr Sampson's driving layup with 16:18 left.
But Napier kicked off a head-spinning, 15-1 UConn run with a 3-pointer, and the Huskies eventually tied the game at 44.
UConn tied it again on a Boatright 3-pointer (his first points of the game) with 4:59 left and took its first lead on a pair of Boatright free throws 29 seconds later.
It would be the Huskies' only lead, however.
"We gave (Phil) Greene a straight layup off a pick-and-roll. Just a breakdown," said Ollie. "Then we had a breakdown in the fast break with (D'Angelo) Harrison. And, we didn't make shots. It had nothing to do with lack of energy, being tired. We just didn't make the plays when necessary, and I give credit to St. John's."
Calhoun finished with a game-high 21 points, Napier added 14 and Daniels 12. Boatright finished with a season-low five points.
UConn fell to 15-6, 5-4 Big East. The Red Storm improved to 15-8, 7-4.
?Things got chippy near the midway point of the second half, when Sampson and UConn's Enosch Wolf were each called for flagrant-one technical fouls.
Wolf had inadvertently elbowed Sampson in the face while corralling a rebound about two minutes earlier. Apparently, he elbowed Sampson again at around the 13-minute mark, and this time Sampson responded by pushing Wolf, which was caught by the referees.
After reviewing the play, the refs hit Wolf with the ''T'', as well, for the second elbow.
"The first time down the court, he elbowed me after he missed and I was like, 'OK,'" Sampson said. "The second time it happened, I was just a little upset. I probably shouldn't have reacted the way I did, but it happens. It's over."
Explained Wolf: "I guess I hit him with an elbow when I got a rebound. I ran back, kinda bumped into him, we exchanged a couple of words, he didn't like it. He pushed me on the court, and the refs saw it and called a foul. I think they looked it up on tape and called the foul on me for the elbow and on him for the push."
Both players made one of two free throws.
