STANFORD, Calif. (AP) Kevin Hogan threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns in his first collegiate start, and No. 16 Stanford overcame four turnovers to rally past No. 13 Oregon State 27-23 on Saturday and stay in control of its Pac-12 title hopes.
Cody Vaz fumbled late in the fourth quarter to give the Cardinal (8-2, 6-1) the ball at the Beavers 29. The only Oregon State (7-2, 5-2) turnover turned out to be the difference.
Hogan hit tight end Zach Ertz for a 13-yard touchdown for the go-ahead score and Stanford stopped the Beavers twice more. The Cardinal will head to second-ranked Oregon next week with a chance to take over sole control of the North Division and move closer to a spot in the conference championship game.

NanoSight Launches the CFR21 Part 11 Compliant Version of Their Nanoparticle Characterization Software
|(Nanowerk News) NanoSight, leading manufacturers of unique nanoparticle characterization technology, announces they have developed their NTA (Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis) software platform such that it may now be implemented within a CFR compliant environment.
|CFR 21 Part 11 is the part of the CFR21 guidelines issued by the FDA related to electronic record keeping and is primarily aimed at the pharmaceutical industry. It pertains to a number of requirements for scientific instruments such as requiring that there are suitable levels of access for different user and manager levels within the organization, that records are stored in a protected way, and that data, if changed, should not replace or obscure the original data, and that the software has been developed in a responsible and reliable manner amongst others.
|Speaking on this exciting news, NanoSight's Head of Development, Dr Patrick Hole, said, "In the last year or so, our software has reached a level of maturity that with the April release of the latest version of NTA (Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis), implementation of the CFR21 part 11 was readily achievable and timely. The software was already aligning towards a level of robustness required across all industries and this, coupled with the requirement from several of our industry customers to implement these changes, made it an important and natural extension to the software. This extension will allow these users and others in the field to move forward further with their use of the technology."
|At the recent Protein Stability Conference held in Breckenridge, Colorado, senior FDA members broadly welcomed the growing appreciation of the emergence of the NTA technology onto the scene as a contributing technique in the characterization of levels of protein aggregation.
|This implementation has been accelerated by the use of a customisable off-the-shelf CFR21 part 11 toolkit supplied by Process Analysis and Automation Ltd. Mike Collins, PAA, commented "PAA have a strong track record in precisely this field and we were happy to help NanoSight with bringing about this implementation". The software was readily integrated into NanoSight's existing NTA and automates many of the CFR requirements including all the user rights management and the digital signing and encryption of records.
|CEO Jeremy Warren comments "CRF21 Part 11 compliance is a well-trodden path for analytical instrumentation in QA within Pharma; for us the timing is perfect, as we are introducing this just as customers are beginning to ask for it".
|This follows on swiftly from the company's achievement in becoming ISO9001 certified last month and further demonstrates the ability of the company to rapidly adopt development and compliance.
|To find out more about this implementation of the software and to see examples of it, please visit the company's web site. Also to learn more about particle characterization using NanoSight's unique nanoparticle tracking analysis solutions, visit the company website (www.nanosight.com) and register to receive the next issue of NanoTrail, the company's electronic newsletter.
|About NanoSight
|NanoSight delivers the world's most versatile and proven multi-parameter nanoparticle analysis in a single instrument.
|NanoSight's "Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis" (NTA) detects and visualizes populations of nanoparticles in liquids down to 10nm, dependent on material, and measures the size of each particle from direct observations of diffusion. Particle size, concentration, Zeta potential and aggregation can all be analyzed while a fluorescence mode provides differentiation of labelled particles. This particle-by-particle methodology goes beyond traditional light scattering and other ensemble techniques in providing high-resolution particle size distributions.
|NanoSight's comprehensive characterization matches the demands of complex biological systems, hence its wide application in development of drug delivery systems, of viral vaccines, in nanotoxicology and in biodiagnostics. This real-time data gives insight into the kinetics of protein aggregation and other time-dependent phenomena in a qualitative and quantitative manner.
|NanoSight has a growing role in biodiagnostics, being proven in detection and speciation of nanovesicles (exosomes) and microvesicles. As functionalized nanoparticles increasingly fulfill their potential in biodiagnostics, NanoSight is ever more the analytical platform of choice.
|NanoSight demonstrates worldwide success through rapid adoption of NTA, having installed more than 300 systems worldwide with users including BASF, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Proctor and Gamble, Roche and Unilever together with the most eminent universities and research institutes. In addition to this user base more than 250 third party papers citing NanoSight results consolidate NanoSight's leadership position in nanoparticle characterization.

Trent River Coffee Company in New Bern has musical magic this weekend, with versatile Belle Vici on Friday and blues and folk legend Mojo Collins Saturday evening.
Trent River Coffee Company in New Bern has musical magic this weekend, with versatile Belle Vici on Friday and blues and folk legend Mojo Collins Saturday evening.
Belle Vici is an eclectic trio of Eastern North Carolina musicians � Liz Hargett, Lynn Lasseter and Hank Barbee.
They play Friday at 8 p.m., with a $10 cover.
Collins, who told the Sun Journal Tuesday he is close to a major distribution record deal, will bring his renowned guitar style on Saturday evening at 7 p.m., also with a $10 cover.
Belle Vici�s Hargett and Lasseter � described in the band�s bio as �nearly identical twins� � trace their musical roots to church and the God-fearing influences of traditional hymns and Southern gospel.
Their music styles range from classical to reggae. But the easy-going folk and country sounds of Americana are the band�s staple.
The two met Barbee in July 2009. They had acquired a new bass player who asked if a friend of his could play with them. Barbee had moved back to Richlands from Atlanta, and he made a quick connection.
They formed the band and named it �Belle Vici� � �Belle� meaning beautiful, for their music; and �Vici� meaning conquer, a celebration of obstacles overcome and battles won.
In addition to vocals, Barbee adds guitar, dobro and lap steel to Belle Vici�s smooth vocal harmonies. He traces his early influences to the Appalachian folk music of artists such as Doc Watson.
The three have established their own record label, Eleven O�Clock Records, and released two albums under the label, �Belle Vici� and �Hank Barbee.�
On Saturday night, Collins brings decades of experience to the coffee house. He has performed with or opened shows for Fleetwood Mac, Janis Joplin and Big Brother & the Holding Company, Steve Miller, Santana, The Grateful Dead, Ike and Tina Turner, Muddy Waters, Leon Redbone, Sly and the Family Stone, Blue Cheer, The Spinners, Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, Keith Shealy and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
These days, Collins enjoys life as a professional singer, guitarist and songwriter based out of the Outer Banks.
Collins has been the recipient of several prestigious songwriting awards, including the N.C. Arts Council Fellowship in Music for Songwriting. An active preservationist, Collins said he was proud to perform at the dedication ceremony of N.C.�s Jockey�s Ridge State Park and the relighting and rededication of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
Mojo�s musical career began at age five with his grandmother teaching him songs on her old Stella guitar. His skills were honed at family jams and lessons given by his father, �Wild Bill� Collins. Later, he joined the Air Force and was stationed in Montana. There he wrote much of the material which he would later take to San Francisco with the band �Initial Shock.�
In 1971, he relocated from San Francisco to Eastern North Carolina, married his wife Bonnie, and started a family which now includes two sons, their wives and six grandchildren.
HIs original music is presented in concert as well as in schools K4 to university, church music education programs.
In 2007, he released �Mojo Collins Live.� He is currently creating new original works for �Opening Act,� a rock and blues multi-media touring concert.
At age 69, he and his wife celebrated 40 years of marriage recently. And he landed his first guitar sponsorship � a deal with Twisted Wood Guitars of Canada.
While Collins is living the good life, he does have reason to play the blues. His adult son has been sick for seven years and is on the double-lung transplant list at Duke University Medical Center.
Collins has dedicated a song to him, and he�s also written one for his younger son. They are some of his most requested tunes from a catalog of more than 300 songs he�s written.

Sorry folks, this story is not about the hippie band from San Francisco. It's about dead people and the websites that let you memorialise them.
It sounds macabre, but we live our lives on the internet, shouldn't our death have a place online, too?
Two online destinations dedicated to the dead are I-Tomb and I-Memorial. I-Tomb is a place for people to honour someone who has passed away, while I-Memorial,is a place for the dying to leave their last wishes.
And there's the other social networks, too. We've already covered what happens to your Facebook profile or Twitter account (hint: they can live on long after you're gone). And, of course, you can always create your own blog like Derek Miller, who chronicled his struggle and eventual death from colorectal cancer. It's one of the most touching collections of online writing I've ever read. [I-Tomb and I-Memorial via ChipChick]

Hey guys!
I just bought Frozen Cortex on the steam sale, and I'm having a big problem.
My computer's default resolution is 3200x1800 and this is causing all the text in the menus to be super small and unreadable.
I cannot seem to adjust the resolution. I've tried putting it in full screen or windowed mode and lowering it to 1600x900 or 1920x1080 but it still leaves the menu text miniscule.
How can I go about fixing it.

Noodle Tuesday: Beef noodle soup at Hunan Cuisine
If food is entertainment in Taiwan (and it's not much of a stretch to ditch the "if"), then beef noodle soup is its rockstar. It's the national dish in Taiwan, and, every year, Taipei throws a festival in its honor. Last year, the island even scheduled a California tour for the bowl, making stops at the state's capital and Google headquarters.
Taiwanese infuse the broth with five-spice, and it can be fiery hot—finishing a bowl in Taiwan's midsummer blanket of heat and humidity is the most invigorating form of masochism I know.
It's hard to find here, though Hunan Cuisine has a version of hong sau niu rou mian—red-braised beef noodle soup. Since Taiwan's bowl originated in Sichuan, where Hunan Cuisine seems to draw many of its recipes from, I thought I'd try it.
It lacks the warmth and depth of spices in a Taiwanese bowl, but it has its own merits: tender braised beef, pickled mustard greens (aka Chinese sauerkraut) and lettuce leaves (yes, lettuce) add interest. Thin, flat wheat noodles anchor the soup. It doesn't really compare to a bowl in Taiwan, but at least it gives me the memory of one.
Hunan Cuisine, 53 N. Beretania St., 599-8838

Powered by the Seed: Fast Facts on Chia
Four ways one tiny seed can make you a healthier athlete.
by Emma Morris
Despite their rapid rise to fame over the past few years, chia seeds are in fact one of the oldest sources of nutrition. Derived from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, chia seeds were eaten by the Aztecs as early as 3500 B.C. With a Mayan name that translates to "strength," chia seed was prized more highly than gold.
The tiny seed, barely bigger than a poppyseed, burst onto the fitness world's radar in 2009 with Christopher McDougall's New York Times bestseller, Born to Run. Through his remarkable story, Christopher introduced the world to the Tarahumara people, a northwest Mexican tribe of super athletes. Arguably the world's greatest long distance runners, the Tarahumara people run hundreds of miles at a time through the canyons of their region. While McDougall detailed several secrets behind their athletic prowess, one thing that attracted instant attention was their diet—in particular a drink called iskiate, that they would consume before running. The mixture of water, chia seed and lemon was believed to give the Tarahumara people stamina and hydration for their long running journeys.
Since publication of McDougall's book, chia has grown in both popularity and availability, the new superfood of choice for health advocates, celebrities and sporting icons alike. But chia is no fad. Recent research has identified exactly why it's such a beneficial source of nutrition, particularly for athletes. So, what is all the fuss about?
Sustained energy
Chia seeds are extremely absorbent, swelling up to more than ten times their original size when soaked in water and forming a gel-like substance. Because of this gel-forming action, chia slows the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar, meaning your body will be fueled for longer periods of time—IRONMAN triathletes take note! This slow carbohydrate conversion also stabilizes blood sugars, meaning you can kiss bonking goodbye.
Increased hydration
The absorbent quality of chia seeds also results in better regulation of body fluid levels and electrolyte retention—perfect for hard-working triathletes.

Reduced inflammation and joint pain
Chia is the highest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are proven to reduce inflammation. Omega-3 can also help to alleviate skin conditions and promote healthy brain function.
Fast recovery
Chia is packed with antioxidants and is a complete source of protein, containing all eight essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of our body. The complete protein in chia helps with cell and tissue regeneration, and the high levels of antioxidants fight free radicals that attack and weaken our immune system.
Fast facts on chia
→ Chia is the highest plant based source of Omega-3, fiber and protein and is packed with a long list of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
→ Chia grows best within 15 degrees of the equator, where it can receive adequate sun hours each day. Chia which is not allowed to sun ripen will be immature, containing less Omega-3 and being nutritionally lacking.
→ Chia seeds can be either black or white, but never brown. There is no nutritional difference between black and white chia, however brown chia is immature.
→ Chia is a fantastic source of nutrition for vegan, gluten-free and fully raw diets. You can even use chia as an egg replacement in your baking by allowing it to gel with a little water.
How to eat chia
Chia is one of very few grain-like seeds that can be eaten completely in its natural state—no grinding, no cooking and no processing. Sprinkle onto your muesli or cereals, into your salads or smoothies, or add to your baking.
Make your own iskiate (or as we like to call it, Chia Fresca!)
This fantastic drink can be enjoyed whenever you need a refreshing summer slurp, or consume pre-workout to boost hydration.
250ml of water
1 tbsp chia seeds
Lemon or lime juice
Honey or agave nectar, to taste (optional)
Stir chia seeds into the water; let them sit for about five minutes. Stir again, and let sit for as long as you like. The more it sits, the more gel-like the seeds and water become. Add citrus juice and sweetener to taste.

(visited by Michael Kieslich)
21-May-2009 -- It's a very hot weekend, 43°C in the shade. But the summer is coming, then now or never.
That was an easy way to find the confluence point. I took the highway from al-Riyāḍ to al-Kharj. Near al-Kharj I left the highway at Exit No.517, direction "Wādiy al-Dawāsir", then I took Main Road No.10 to the South. In the village al-Dilam, at the second traffic light: turn right. Behind the mosque: turn right. Petrol Station: turn left.
I took off and after 15 kilometers, I turned left to a desert track, direction East. Across a dry river and I had reached my confluence point of the weekend: 24N 47E.
It's only 650 m from the road and it is surrounded by red sands.
This was my first confluence visit, I'm very happy.

The jacket is made from a 1930's sari of pale pink silk embroidered with gold and silver threads, beads, and pink sequins in designs of vines, flowers and abstract line patterns. Jacket has a floating yoke and full leg-o-mutton sleeves with long narrow cuffs that have zipper closures. The jacket itself has a center front opening with no closure. The neckline, edges of closure, hem, and cuffs are edged in heavily beaded bands added by the designer. Designer's label sewn inside back at neck: "Richard Brooks". The blouse is of heavy pink silk, collarless, with round neckline. It is short-sleeved, with pleating at the shoulder. Vertical seaming on front and back for structure. There is a concealed center-back closure with snap at top and 5 clear plastic circular buttons down the length. The blouse is lined in a dark, dusty pink silk and has sewn-in shoulder pads. Designer's label is sewn inside back to the left of the opening: "Richard Brooks". The two skirts are are both of identical pink silk, matching the blouse, of identical construction. One is knee-length, and the other is full-length. Both are lined in the same pink silk as the jacket. The short skirt has designer's label sewn in at waistband: "Richard Brooks". Worn by Governor Ann Richards when she spoke at the Gridiron Club in Washington, 1992.

Yesterday, and in less than a week, The Wild Hunt's Fall Fund Drive met, and then surpassed, its $6000 dollar goal. While I was always confident that this campaign would eventually meet its goal, I had no idea it would do so with such alacrity. I have been overwhelmed by the generosity of my readers, my community, in helping The Wild Hunt go independent once again. To fund a new vision for the site, and Pagan news. So thank you, whether you donated $5, $50, or $500 dollars, you all made this happen. The campaign will stay up through November, and any donation above the $600 goal number will go towards a travel and a materials stipend for our reporters, and perhaps even towards paying additional contributors. So once again, thank you, thank you, thank you. The links lists, Fall Funders list, new underwriting affiliates, and supporter graphics will be going up soon (honestly, I had no idea I would make my goal this fast).
Now that I've shared that happy news, let's have a few news links, shall we?
- You may have seen a wire story about a pagan rock carving in Morocco being destroyed by ultra-orthodox Salafi Muslims. Turns out that the report of the sun-divinity's image being destroyed may have been greatly exaggerated. Quote: "The Moroccan government has denied that an 8,000-year-old rock engraving depicting the Sun as a divinity has been destroyed in the south of the country in an attack residents had blamed on ultra-orthodox Salafi Muslims. Communications Minister Mustafa el-Khalfi took journalists to the site of the pagan engraving in the Toukbal National Park to demonstrate that reports of its destruction were untrue." So, I guess the lesson here is "pics or it didn't happen."
- How am I just now hearing about this book? "A History of Spiritualism and the Occult in Salem: The Rise of Witch City" was written by historian Maggi Smith-Dalton, and "delves into Salem's exotic history, unraveling the beginnings of Spiritualism and the rise of The Witch City." Certainly seems like a must-read for scholars of Salem, and those wanting to know what laid the groundwork for its Witchy present. We'll be following up on this book in the future here at The Wild Hunt.
- The Guardian's film blog points to an interesting essay on the rise of a "new magical realism" in American film, spearheaded by Generation X filmmakers. Quote: "I think there have been signs in recent years that, surrounded by difficulties at home and abroad, America has turned from doing to thinking, and that its imagination is growing heavy to the point of overflowing; the emergence of a film like Southern Wild was only a matter of time."
- Kateri Tekakwitha, an Algonquin–Mohawk Indian, will be named a Catholic saint on October 21st. The Religion News Service looks at the mixed emotions that prompts among the present day Mohawk people. Quote: "The church has been telling us for years we're heathens," [Alicia] Cook said. "The white man has hurt us enough. They intruded on our land here."
- A Christian Air Force chaplain recounts his experience with being asked to officiate a Wiccan handfasting. The story centers on his refusal, and how the Wiccan wife-to-be understood the exchange: "Dear, don't you understand? We would be hypocrites for saying the Christian vows, and the chaplain would be a hypocrite for officiating a wedding for people he knows don't believe the Christian vows." That chaplain, Norris Burkes, says that "her words were so profound that I have repeated them to nearly every engaged couple who has come to my office." Just proof that real interfaith exchanges and understanding can happen at any time, if you're open to the experience.
That's all for now, have a great day, and thank you for supporting The Wild Hunt!

Back to Men's Basketball coverage
Kansas University senior Jeff Withey, who set an NCAA Tournament record by blocking 31 shots in the 2012 postseason, continues to protect the basket at an astonishing rate.
The 7-footer from San Diego leads the country with 40 blocks in seven games — five more blocks than both Arizona State's Jordan Bachynski (seven games) and St. John's Chris Obekpa (eight games).
Does Withey hope to lead the country in rejections?
"Definitely. I feel I should have done it last year. Anthony Davis did, right?" he said of former Kentucky center Davis, who indeed had a nation's-best 186 blocks last season to Withey's school-record 140 rejections.
"I feel I should be up there for sure," Withey added.
Withey, who doesn't mind being known as a shot blocker — "It's what I do," he said — was asked if he was shooting for David Robinson's single-season blocks record of 207 set in 1985-86 at Navy.
"Two hundred and seven in one year?" Withey said. "I definitely am. I'll try for it. Every day I go out there I want to go block shots and help my team win. It leads to easy points for us. As long as I can keep doing what I have to do to help us win. Hopefully I can get a lot more blocks in my career."
He has 205 career blocks, which ranks sixth on KU's all-time list. He's 54 blocks from passing Greg Ostertag, who had 258 from 1992-95. Cole Aldrich had 253 blocks, Nick Collison 243, Eric Chenowith 242 and Scot Pollard 218.
"It would be awesome, especially at KU. It's a historic program," Withey said of the career blocks mark. "To have my name in the record books would be a huge honor, something I'd cherish forever."
In perhaps his most remarkable stat of all, Withey has committed just six fouls all season. A year ago, he had 14 blocks and 25 fouls through seven games.
"That's unbelievable. Of course, Wilt never fouled out of a game, did he?" KU coach Bill Self said of former KU/NBA great Wilt Chamberlain, who never fouled out of a college or NBA contest.
"If you have five fouls and we played six games (now six in seven games) and you're a big guy, maybe you are not as aggressive as you need to be. But on the flip side, it does show that Jeff's timing is off the charts, and his ability to stay away from body contact when he's blocking balls well above the head is tremendous. We've played poor defense many possessions, and he just absolutely has bailed us out."
Withey leads the country in blocks per foul (6.67). Bachynski, who has committed 14 fouls, is second at 2.50. Obekpa has been whistled for 24 fouls on the season.
Self said that though the game of basketball in college and the NBA "has gotten smaller," there's "still a place" for a true 7-footer like Withey.
"The hardest thing to guard in our game is a skilled 4-man (power forward)," Self said. "That's the position that screws everybody up ... having a 4-man that can stretch it or put it down. There's no question there's a place for a 5, and there's not as many it seems like now, because the majority of ones aren't in school (instead in NBA).
"Jeff ... I don't even know if the next level he's a center. He may be somewhat of a 41⁄2 offensively and a 5 defensively. He has evolved as a pretty good basketball player, there is no question about that."
Withey is second on the team in scoring (14.6 ppg to Ben McLemore's 14.9) and first in rebounding (8.1 rpg per game to Kevin Young's 6.2 and McLemore's 5.7). Withey has hit a team-leading 59.1 percent of his shots, though his free-throw shooting percentage has dipped to 63.2 compared to his sizzling 79.5 mark of a year ago.
"I feel I am on a roll for sure. I definitely want to keep it up," Withey said of his overall offensive play. "I'm getting extra shots up with coach Roberts (Norm, assistant). I'm trying to get more aggressive. Coach Self is trying to instill that in my head. My teammates are finding me open. It's them finding easy buckets for me. As long as I keep that up, it'd be great. As long as we keep winning, that's fine."
KU will meet Colorado at 1 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Frankamp hits for 46: KU signee Conner Frankamp scored 46 points in Wichita North's 76-43 season-opening victory over Wichita Northwest on Friday.
The 6-foot combo guard hit 14 of 25 shots, including seven of 12 three-pointers. He was 11-of-11 from the free-throw line and had 10 rebounds with three assists and two steals against one turnover. Frankamp passed Ricky Ross (South) for fourth place on the Wichita City League's career scoring list. According to the Wichita Eagle, he has 1,687 points, 52 behind Heights' Aubrey Sherrod for third.
Wilt never fouled out in College or pros? Forget the 100 point game, that is far more impressive.
Not really. When he was in foul trouble he didn't even try around the cup. He was almost useless when he was in foul trouble. He would rather not foul out and lose the game then win and foul out. One of the many reasons Russell dominated Wilt.
Are you out of your mind? Russell got all the publicity because his teams won more but he had a tremendous supporting cast (or in most cases leading cast) compare to what Wilt had. Did you ever really watch any of Wilt's pro games? Or did someone just tell you that he was useless when in foul trouble? I watched him play on numerous occasions and he was a competitor, he did not like to lose.
Russell didn't dominate Wilt buttbreath, the Celtics dominated the 76ers. Russell had a better supporting cast, ie Havilchek, KC and Sam Jones, Heihnson Sanders etc.
You must have been watching different games tan I was. The Celtics certainlydidn't dominate the the 76ers back then. Wilt had a supporting cast that included Hal Greer, Billy Cunningham, Chet the Jet Walker, and Luke Jackson, all fine players. The games I saw, and really enjoyed, back then were dog fights generally won by the home team by a small margin. No one dominated any one. I do agree on one thing. Buttsauce's comment about Wilt mailing it in could only be made by someone who never saw him play. Or a Mizzou troll.
In 2004, CBS Sports ran an hour long special on Wilt. In this documentary, they addressed the myth that Russell dominated Wilt. Absolutely false. They chronicled the lifetime head-to-head stats between the two when they faced each other. It wasn't even close - Wilt made Russell look ordinary.
I believe the source and the quality of your post is precisely described by your moniker.
That is crazy talk. Wilt was off the charts in everything. Russ used to go off on his teammates whenever they said something bad about Wilt. Wilt would do his reply on the court and make Russ look very bad.
When asked about Wilt not ever fouling out, Coach Self called that "an amazing feat". Let's see, do I believe him or you. It's difficult to take you as a competent source from the 50's & 60's. Are you a troll, or just someone that makes stuff up?
Wilt going 28-32 from the FT line when he scored 100 points -- was the most surprising stat of all
I'll take the 55 bounds in a game as most impressive, especially since it was against Bill Russell. Heck he averaged somethink like 29 points 29 boards against Russell.
I believe that Wilt was better than Russell, but Russell played on the Celtics so he got more rings and fame. Wilt later proved what he could do with players around him when the Lakers went all the way.
So true, Ross, and that was later in his career too, when he wasn't even at his best. It's a real shame that he didn't have the talent around him in his prime that Russell did. It would have been nice for them to battle it out with equivalent supporting casts.
The most impressive thing about Jeff's blocks is that he keeps the ball in play (never blocks the ball out of bounds) and it usually ends up in our hands. It's a much more impressive stat because it's more like a steal. Never seen a shot blocker do that like Jeff.
Still a place for a true 7-footer? Lol--ya think?
Jeff's offense has really come around the last 3 games. The first two against mid-major bigs (with all that implies) but in the OSU game, against legitimate competition. Great to see Jeff growing in confidence and assertiveness, and becoming, dare I say it, a leader on this team.
That is a very good point about Jeff's blocks. Wilt used to knock the ball into row ZZ.
Good point, KULA, and interesting that you say you've never seen a shot blocker do that like him. I don't know how great a shot-blocker Russell was in general (especially given that it wasn't an official stat in those days), but one of the things he was known for doing was blocking it in a way to keep it in play. So Russell does deserve credit for doing that better than Wilt did.
I didn't realize how important blocks were, until I formulized my disruption statistic as:
(steals + blocks)/TOs
Blocks don't always lead to a change of possession the way steals and TOs do, though often they do, but they always indicate disruption of an opponent, or one's self, the way steals and TOs do.
To win the disruption stat decisively nearly guaranties you win, because you get so many mores scoring opps than your opponent, and take them out of their comfort zone more often in trying to score.
Team A tends to steal it much less than turn it over. Pressure defense with skilled defenders can edge steals upwards, but even then Team A still tends to steal it less often than than turn it over.
Further, the better the opponent the more likely steals and turnovers are to converge, since both tend to pressure and protect well.
But blocks seem more dependent on a skill asymmetrically distributed even among the best teams.
So a great shot blocker tends to give Team A a big edge in disruption that gets more decisive as teams get better and their stealing and protecting get more similar in capability.
Further, a great shot blocker counter acts the edge of an opponent occasionally having its own great shot blocker.
Jeff blocking really does give KU a big edge in any game where the opponent lacks this skill.
I think Wilt's most impressive record was his average minutes-per-game in the '61-'62 season - 48.5, considering that a regulation game is only 48 minutes long! But, when you figure he played eight full overtime periods in addition, you get a record that will never, ever be challenged!
"Aridzona Alert"
Stumpy Miller seems only a so-so coach, but give anyone enough guns and he is dangerous (e.g., John Calipari).
Stumpy's got Kaleb and some other good bigs. Kaleb and Angelo Chol, both of whom Self recruited hard, are only averaging about 20-25 mpg they have so many bigs.
But the Aridzona alert is not being issued for bigs KU couldn't sign. It is being issued for trey shooting. The Cactus Cats average 44% from trey and have four rotation guys over 40% from trey!!!!
So many bigs and so much 40%+ trifectation looms big at Madness time, once Stumpy gets the TOs under control.
Since Stumpy's coaching talent is just adequate (I.e., he never appears to get teams to play above their talent), and his charisma seems modest, it would seem his stack of talent might have anomalous origin.
Hypothesis: I wonder if the ShoeCo-Summer Game-Agency Complex were picking, oh, say, 1-2 teams each year to stack with talent to maximize the likelihood its brand and talent wins the ring and goes highest in the draft?
Just a hypothesis.
Not a conspiracy theory.
Wouldn't it be legal for The Complex to do this?
I can't recall any rules against it.
Interesting points, jaybate, and UA definitely scares me, but I don't get what Miller's lack of charisma has to do with anything.
Wilt fouled out of two games in college, February 18, 1957 vs Oklahoma and January 18, 1958 vs Missouri.
interesting that Wilt shot such a high percentage of FTs both nights that he fouled out.
Great find, now who is going to up vote the FullerStatMan? Only me, I guess.
Good Find!
Excellent work, 5yard! It's always fascinating to see how much box scores have changed over the years.
Just wanted to chime and and thank you for posting these.
Truly great work!
Interesting how seemingly the same newspaper abbreviated his name two different ways.
Jeff, get the FT stroke back, or the fouling will get merciless.
Frankamp on fire!
Trey alarm blaze.
Not sure I agree with a good 4 causing the most problems, but it doesn't matter.
Self seems to be needling Jeff with Thomas.
Or is he needling Perry?
Or both?
Regardless, Self has clearly reached that time of year when the needle is in use.
As far as Withey is concerned, Self didn't push the needle very far. He just pointed out that in the NBA Jeff is going to have score on his own more. So why not start now?
As far as who causes the most problems, what hurts us is not 4s but 3s, as in three-point shooting. We have to reduce 3-point attempts by our opponents. Jeff is not going to block 3-point shots.
You raise an interesting point unintentionally when you mention Jeff not blocking trey shots.
I have always thought it would be a powerful zone defense to go with a swatter like Jeff on one wing of a 1-3-1 zone, then use your other rotation bigs on the base line and mid point. This would would completely eliminate treys from one side of the court, which would then allow the zone to overshift to the other side and over play the strip there, which would allow Jeff to sag way in when the ball is on the other side and be in position to block penetration shots from the other side with Jeff getting a 2-3 step and jump, which would make him almost impossible to shoot over. The back side sag would also put him in great position for long rebounds.
It would be an absolutely killer zone defense.
That has to be the dumbest idea ever. Who ever is on that side of the zone would drive around Withey to the rim ALL NIGHT (and make those shots at the rim at a very high rate now that your shot blocker is standing out on the perimeter. Sure, he wouldn't hit threes, because he would have 50 points in the paint.
No, I'm afraid your post is the dumbest idea.
There is zero chance the guy would score 50 in the paint because its a ZONE!!!!!!!!!!
Jeez, does it really hurt to much to think it through.
I'm not sure I agree with that, jaybate. While Withey could no doubt disrupt some of the 3-point shooting on his side, I would think that he would have problems with someone quick who could move around him a little and still get off a 3 from a slightly different part of the court. Am I off base in that line of thinking?
P.S.: The needle I was referring to for Jeff was Self saying the 4 is more trouble than the 5; that seemed like an obvious challenge to a big man 5. Bigs in football and basketball kind of put up with the little guys, knowing they are necessary but peripheral. Great offensive tackles and guards know that though QBs and RBs get the glory, the game is always won finally in the trenches, where the big men duke it out, not for one or two big plays, but for sustained dominance. Centers in basketball are pretty dominant, too. Just because Jeff is laid back, does not mean he is not a dominant type. No guy goes out and hangs a triple double (and people forget he's done it twice, just once was an exhibition game last year) that isn't a dominant personality. Centers think the game revolves around them, because it does on a basketball court. That's why the position is called center. They let the little guys run and shoot and "keek a touchdown" as Alex Karras said of Garo Yrpremian so long ago now, but still so accurately, while the centers are in their banging and swatting every play trying to establish dominance of one kind or another in the paint, not just on their man, but on the other team that grows increasingly submissive and fearful of shooting normally.
Jeff has taken a long time to establish his dominance not because he wasn't a dominant type, but rather because he had a serious string of bad luck starting with school selection, then with weight/sickeness problems, then with injury problems. But since Jeff has been healthy and able to go, his contribution last season and now this has grown increasingly dominant.
Never forget he was playing along side an athletic freak at the 4 last season. Thomas was a once in a decade, or two decade kind of player. A Manning type really. And had UK not been unfairly stacked by the Complex last season, Thomas would stand on equal footing with Manning, because he too would have his ring. That was what Jeff had to complement. He had to complement him rather than try to dominate, because Thomas was ripe and Jeff was still green as the season started.
But by the end of the season, in the national championship game, it was Jeff that held Anthony Walker to 1-10 from the field. If Jeff's offense had come as far last season as his defense, so that UK could not double Thomas, and if EJ and Travis had been anywhere near healthy, there is still no doubt in my mind that KU would have taken UK, draft choices apparently stacked by The Complex and all. Last year's KU team was a great team, because it was a triad of every night MUAs in Tyshawn, Thomas, and Jeff, plus two very gifted athletes, who when not injured, were almost every night MUAs.
Back to Jeff and Self's needle. Self was saying Thomas at the 4 was bigger problem for opponents than Jeff at the 5. That is a seriously challenge of a big's manhood. Imagine what Clyde, Wilt, or Danny, or any of KU's great 5s would have thought and responded had a coach told them 4s were more forceful than 5s. Clyde and Wilt probably would have laughed in the coaches faces and then gone out and hung 50. Danny would have stared down at a coach with those huge brown eyes and rolled them and then gone out and hung 30-40 with 20 boards.
Jeff will see that quote.
Self wants Jeff to see that quote.
Self wants Jeff to go out now that Jeff knws he can actually go 38 minutes and he wants Jeff to hang another triple double before conference starts.
Self wants Jeff to know that he has not yet fully realized how dominant he can be on a floor.
Triple doubles talk.
Triple doubles matter.
They indicate there's a monster inside someone that can get out, when released.
And, yes, I was intentionally bending the form of the post script. :-)
I'd say he's being fairly accurate. I think you'd call McDermott a PF, AD last year I'm guessing Self would have considered a 4 on offense, D. Thomas of OSU, Leslie of NC St, Zeller at IU is more of a PF than a center. I think Self just sees a big man that can bounce it and has quickness as a big threat in the college game. Judging by the most dangerous players out there he's spot on. Royce White last year, McAdoo, just a long list you could put together.
jaybate, it would be nice if you include shots altered in your disruption theory.
I always thought that there should be a ratio of (steals + Off Reb)/TOs. Call it the possession ratio. You could also include blocks that result in change of possession, but like shots altered or deflections, it would be too difficult to keep track of as it's not an officially recorded statistic.
That could be a good way to go, also.
Oh, yes, when they start keeping those, I will for sure. Thanks for the assist for that would really tell the tale of how much advantage a swatter creates.
I meant to say "if you could".
Looks like Frankamp is back from that injury. Can't wait to see him in a Jayhawks uni. Threes will be raining from the heavens. Hopefully he gets Hudy-ized like the rest of them!
Congrats Conner! Def good to see him back for that injury.
Every team out there knows there is only one player you have to guard, hes the only one that can beat you, double team him....and he gets 46. Rock Chalk
My guess is that he's a much better passer than people think. I'm sure opposing coaches tell their kids about them, but I'm sure he does just fine passing out of double teams.
what are the odds on Frankamp breaking the Wichita City League scoring record? Isn't that Perry's record currently? That could set up some friendly competition for next season!
Odds are pretty good that yes, as long as he stays healthy, he will break Ellis' scoring record.
I think he needed to average in the low 20s for the season to get there.
Wish there were stat emphasis for scores off blocks, just as there are for scores off turnovers. I would imagine that Jeff leads the nation in that uncharted category.
Yes, very, very good nickname.
good nickname for Withey, but JJ Swatt is taken by defensive end JJ Watt of the Houston Texans for his proficiency at batting down passes of opposing QBs.
This dude is 6'7" almost 300LBs and can standing leap up onto a 50" ledge
Stick with J-Swat!, BigManU, and let the trademark and copyright lawyers duke it out.
Different sport.
Different spelling.
Plus dash and exclamation mark.
I would take the case in a minute, if I were a lawyer. :-)
I like BigMittWit!
Jeffey El Jefe, or just "Jefe"
I was at Sprint Center Friday and saw the Mac Dunk, great things to come. Does anyone know the time of the Temple game? All I can find is TBA.
It's not set yet because it's on the first weekend of the NFL playoffs and that needs to be determined first. The game time is either going to be 12:30 or 3:30 central time depending on how the TV schedule for the NFL playoffs ends up.
Conner's stats are impressive but we have to show love to the other recruits. I read that we had another future Jayhawk post a triple double last week. Wayne Selden had 19 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Wow! He is going to be a beast for KU next year.
Selden = everynight MUA at KU.
Can you imagine the fast breaks and ball handling we will have with Frankamp, Selden etc! That team will run others out of the gym.
With Embiid too? As good as Joel looks on video, he'll have another full hs year and then the summer with collegiate athletes.
But that's next year. This year is the only thing that matters now.
Ben,s dunk had more Connie Hawkins than Jordan in it.
I saw all Jordan, but I'm okay with The Hawk, too.
Random thoughts issued on a Monday morning.
1] Can anyone at LJW explain to me why an article about Jefff features a photo of Travis who is only mentioned in a sidebar column?? Just kind of a curious presentation.
2] Saw evidence Friday of Jeff's pursuit as the nation's "Top Swatter" that he could become susceptable to the pump fake and jump-in lean as we play higher quality foes.... needs to keep his feet till the last second.
3] That scratching sound you all heard Friday night after BenMac's monster dunk was every NBA GM writing down his name as a lottery pick. I am afraid we better enjoy him while we have him.
4] Liam Neeson would take Daniel Craig apart like an erector set.
5] Next season will be a true read on the progress of the Charlie Weis era...at least there were a few patches of blue sky this year
6] My prediction..Conner Frankamp will make a bigger impact his freshman year than Perry Ellis will make in his...but watch out for Perry's soph year!!!
7] St.Louis mourns the passage of a really good guy..Rick Majerus. I had the pleasure of spending a few minutes with him and he just loved to talk "ball". He once bought a dinner for a homeless guy in a bus station..and talked basketball with him for 45 minutes!!
Non Random responses:
1) No that would not be possible. :-)
2) Coach K proved early last season that the way to deal with Jeff is to attack him with your big with the ball crowding him, jumping up and into him, using a shoulder to draw fouls and/or dish. It keeps him from roaming, too. Waiting to see how he handles this with a good big man. If he can handle it, then he's a finished piece of work defensively.
3) Whether he gets drafted end of this season depends entirely on whether he can prove he can shoot the trey, which his percentage indicates he hasn't done yet. His reputation as a shooter suggests he will eventually get to 40% and stay there, but you've got to be able to drain the trey in the L to be a 6-5 lottery pick.
4) I don't know. Liam is pretty sensitive, when you seem him interviewed. He's certainly much bigger than DC. Connery would have beaten the piss out of both of them at once. He was an absolute man and a body builder to boot.
Bodybuilder doesn't mean fighter. I've seen guys that are no bigger than 5' 9" 160 pounds that would destroy a bodybuilder who doesn't know how to fight and boxing, as Neeson does, wouldn't stop a beat down, either.
And what in the hell does this have to do with Withey's rebounding? Nothing!
I love Connery by the way.
5) 1-12 or whatever sucked but anyone that knew football and saw him run 30 guys from a team only in the second year of rebuilding knew he didn't have a prayer of winning more than two games and that would require the heavens opening up and raining luck. Football coaches are way more dependent on numbers and talent than basketball coaches. In basketball there are ways to leverage off one or two guys and use benchwarmers for enforcers and raise an 0-fer team to a couple of games shy of .500. In football, many of the greatest coaches of all time have all had one-fer seasons. One of the ways you know a potentially great football coach, like Bill Walsh, was that he had the courage and insight to go one-fer to lay a solid piece of a foundation. You played football. You didn't think there was a snowballs chance in hell that Weis, or even Bill Bellichick himself, was going to win more than 2 after running 30 did you? I know I didn't. When he was first hired, I figured if he kept everyone he could win 3-4, which he probably would have. But the minute he ran the 30 it was a done deal. Frankly, I'm impressed that he won one. Really. Be all that as it may, he is the best risk for the next five years for the basketball program because keeping him burns up the least dollars. And as far as football goes, its ridiculous to think you could find better offensive and defensive brains than Weis and Campo. So they stay for five years and all of the rich, hand wringing alumni need to focus not on hiring one of their pets to replace Weis, but instead to hire more and more recruiting coordinators from other Big12 teams. For KU to turn the corner, it needs not one recruiting coordinator, but a committee of them, each one being paid a phenomenal sum of money to come and valve talent to KU. There is no other way to turn it around, unless you find one of these once in a generation geniuses like Bill Snyder. And KU should not wait for that. It costs 6-8 million bones to run Weis. Use that money to hire away more recruiting coordinators and keep the recruiting coordinators we already have. This is nothing but a numbers game. Spend the money on acquiring the numbers, since you've already got the brains and experience you need in Weis and Campo. Stay with Weis for Five!
Didn't know about the academic problems, so thanks. We need about as many defensive players as we can get. Rcvrs too.
6) It all depends if Conner can shoot 2-3 feet farther out on the treys, and has the foot speed to guard the way KU perimeter players are asked to guard. Very, very few freshman perimeter players are good enough to impact much their freshman years. Roll call: Chalmers, Sherron (6th man), Tyshawn (mostly for d), Xavier, Josh, and Ben Mac (a second year freshman). Does Frankamp have the kind of talent these guys had? The one he is closest to in height, barring a growth spurt, is Mario Chalmers 6-1 3/4s someone said recently. Mario was a pretty special guy. He had those long arms and great defense from the beginning to guard the 2. He probably wasn't as good of a shooter as Frankamp should be early on. But we've seen a lot of 40% trey shooters (Brady, Tyrel, Conner, and AW3) come in and have to struggle for a year or two before even cracking the rotation much less becoming impact starters. I like Frankamp a lot, but what Self calls sneaky fast looks not quite D1 fast to me. But I think Frankamp has great, great anticipation and that counts for tons in basketball. So I'll leave it that I'm going to have to be counted as a show me guy till I see how he reacts to 6-3 to 6-5 inch guys as fast as him shadowing him on the perimeter and denying him treys, plus see if he's got the foot speed to compensate for his lack of height.
7) Yep, the ice cream man was special and, despite the Wisconsin roots, the most direct lineage to New York City ball of the golden age of the 1950s we had. RIP, Maj.
You remember Boshee's freshman season? I'm hoping for that, but with Connor being a better all-around player. More of a Bill guy.
I love Jeff getting blocks during the games, but can someone shut up the commentators that always bring up his volleyball linage as the foundation for his block skill.
It's a legitimate point and good color commentary.
There is a lot of merit to it because of having to play at the net and going straight up. In volleyball, if you touch the net, it's a point for the other team. You're also going to hear a lot about it when Embiid gets here because volleyball was the sport he played before taking up basketball.
Kansas at #9 and Kentucky OUT OF the Top 25!! No UK trolls for awhile, anyway. :)
Yep. Millionaire's Row in Lexington currently bombed to ashes. Sleep well, Mr. John C. and you wistful clache of one and done SissyBoys!
I also found it quite amusing that Kentucky's drop from 8th to out of the top 25 is the biggest single-week drop from the rankings since they were expanded to include 25 teams in 1990. They took that record from a team that had dropped from 9th. And the team they took that record from?
Howsabout JBloc?
remember that scene in space jam where that aliens steal the players talent, if Jeff was in the nba i bet his would get stolen
Wouldn't it be cool to see Withey set the single-season blocks record? How might he go about doing that...
Well, he has 40 blocks now after playing 7 games for a 5.7 bpg average. KU has 24 regular season games left, and at that rate, he would finish those 24 games with an additional 137 blocks, for a grand total of 177 blocks without any consideration for the extra games we presume he will play in the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments.
A total of 177 blocks would mean that he needed a mere 30 additional blocks to match Robinson's record. At his current rate, a mere six additional games would get him to 211 total blocks on the season, which means KU could do one of the following...
1) Play in the finals of the Big 12 tournament and get to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tourney 2) Play in the semis of the Big 12 tourney and get to the Elite 8 of the NCAA tourney 3) Lose in the first game of the Big 12 tourney and get to the Final Four 4) If for some shocking reason, KU didn't earn a bye (B12 teams 1-6), they would potentially get an extra game in the Big 12 tourney if they got to the final
Of course, the ultimate key to all of this, more than any other individual factor, is Withey staying on a 5.7 bpg pace, which might be a bit of stretch, given that competition will only get more stout moving forward...
The "Sultan of Swat" is who Jeff is.
It's not only about the number of shots that Withey blocks. It's the intimidation factor near the basket and the number of shots he alters.

scraps quilt
55 comments:
It's lovely, if you ask me! I really like the rounded corners.ReplyDelete
I really like it too!ReplyDelete
I super love it! The quilting is great!ReplyDelete
I'm sorry you don't like it. I like everything about it and I'm going to mark it for future inspiration. Cute, cute, cute! ToniReplyDelete
How exciting...good luck with baby #4 coming...I hope all goes smoothly and that you enjoy that 2 day vacation in the hospital (my favorite part...minus the labor and it being really expensive).ReplyDelete
So pretty, and looks mega cozy!ReplyDelete
Have a great week and get tons of rest!
I think it's perfect - there is just enough 'scrappy' without overdoing it - the putty colour gives it a very striking modern edge and the binding pulls it all together. BE HAPPY IT'S SCRAPPY!!!ReplyDelete
This is a most beautiful quilt! I'm sure you'll love it in time, sometimes you need to "sleep" on it to let the quilt grow on you.ReplyDelete
love, love, love it!!! i love patchy scrappy quilts and the straight line quilting looks great!ReplyDelete
Good luck this week! I'll be thinking of you.ReplyDelete
(As for the quilt, I love the concept and the quilting, but it does feel a little unbalanced. Maybe that's what's bothering you?)
I hope all goes well!ReplyDelete
Super exciting. I wish you an easy birth and a healthy baby!ReplyDelete
I've never thought to do rounded corners, I'll have to try it out!ReplyDelete
I super love this quilt! Good luck with the end of your pregnancy and the beginning of the fun adventure. I miss those days .....ReplyDelete
Sweet quilt!ReplyDelete
Hope this is the week, and you aren't left waiting for the new arrival xxxx
Well I love your scrappy quilt - the putty colour, the scraps, the pretty binding and backing! Good luck this week - hope everything goes well!ReplyDelete
Oh my Yumminess, those rounded corners are so great!ReplyDelete
Those curved corners really set it off, great job.ReplyDelete
I love this quilt!!! I need to make one for myself :)ReplyDelete
love it! i've been trying to decide what type of scrappy quilt to do and i like the idea of using a solid on the front like this.ReplyDelete
l.o.v.e. the binding and the rounded corners. I also like the putty colour, I think it gives the overall quilt a stillness, somewhere quiet to rest the eye.ReplyDelete
baby no. 4 - good luck!
Beautiful quilt...love the quilting. Best wishes with your baby!ReplyDelete
That backing fabric is a personal favorite. Love this quilt!ReplyDelete
Blessings this week for your newest little one.ReplyDelete
oh i love it so much! that binding is perfect. so sweet and pretty. good luck with the new baby! i will miss seeing your makes for the next little while. i see a lot of time on the couch in your future! ;) i hope you enjoy every second of it!ReplyDelete
Very sweet cute! Nice!!ReplyDelete
Best wishes for a smooth and precious birth experience!ReplyDelete
I really love it! but yes that backing and binding are perfect for it!ReplyDelete
ooooh! a baby!
- quiltyknitwitJanuary 10, 2012 at 5:44 PM
Stumbled across your blog & love your projects - so colorful & beautiful.ReplyDelete
It is a beautiful quilt and the background colors really makes the other colors pop, love it. What is the background color?ReplyDelete
Very beautiful!!ReplyDelete
The nice thing about quilts is that even if you don't like the finished product, it is still useable and will serve you well. I rather like it myself, it isn't your run of the mill design and you can bet no one else has one just like it. When you tire of looking at it, you can always tuck it between a couple of sheets or light weight blankets. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Susanne :)
I just love your style, Nettie. (And your taste in fabric. :))ReplyDelete
Best, best wishes with baby #4 and all that entails. Especially that new baby smell and those sweet snuggles.
- Linda @ a maiden hair fernJanuary 17, 2012 at 7:49 AM
It's fun, it's abstract, I really like the FMQ. It's owner will love it, that's the most important part. It's hard to make a scrappy quilt look balanced, maybe it's not even supposed to be. Good luck with #4, it'll be a piece of cake with all your little helpers there :)ReplyDelete
It is so great to use up those bits and pieces. Love your project and the binding is fabulous.ReplyDelete
it's just lovely, nettie!ReplyDelete
hope all is well in your home. happy adjusting to the new one. :)
I love how you left so much breathing room around the scraps. It will "age" well too. Thanks for your blog - it's one of my favorites.ReplyDelete
I love scrappy quilts and this is fabulous! Don't know why you don't like it ???ReplyDelete
Is it a step outside your comfort zone!?
I really, really love it. Especially the sandy background and darling binding.ReplyDelete
I love the whole thing too. I'm definitely going to make one for myself.ReplyDelete
Oh I really love it - and yes, the floral binding is perfect!!!ReplyDelete
best of luck with the arrival of bub4!
Aw, how exciting! You'll have your baby # 4 coming soon. :) Congratulations! I like your scrappy quilt, especially the binding. It accentuated the quilt beautifully.ReplyDelete
Love the pops of color on the neutral background, but especially love the binding. So so pretty!ReplyDelete
Just found your blog.ReplyDelete
I agree with Heather - the rounded corners of the quilt are the best feature and one I might try on one of my next baby quilts.
Rounded corners give it this sweet vibe about it!ReplyDelete
Amazing.I really enjoy this fabric decorations.Flowers designs layout look so pretty.Colorful fabrics designs are stitch on this fabrics.ReplyDelete
Hola desde Barcelona.ReplyDelete
Un blog precioso con unos quilts muy bonitos.
Un beso. Raquel i Neus

Thanks again

I just found your blog, love looking at all your projects. I bookmarked it so I can come back and get inspired even more :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 17, 2012 at 5:58 AM
I'm loving it. Love how the background works with the scrap colors. Can you tell me what fabric you used for the background?ReplyDelete
Thanks so much
I just discovered your blog. You have inspired to to start sewing again after years of saying "someday when I have time.'ReplyDelete
You haven't posted for a while... I hope you are ok. :-)ReplyDelete

Open Source Software & Science Reproducibility
This year my contribution to the AGU fall meeting 2013 was all about the development of Open Source Software to enable the reproducibility of scientific products, with both a Poster and an Oral presentation. The AGU was the perfect opportunity to share my ideas on a topic that is one of my main interests.
This was my 2nd time at AGU, but my first time with an oral presentation which turned in a real challenge!
The main issue was a combination of 2 factors : I had decided to generate the slideshow in realtime as HTML from an online IPython Notebook. I thought it would be cool to show this functionality, as well as the work itself. Unfortunately, I was dependent on an internet connection at the time of the presentation, but alas, at AGU the presenter computer doesn't have internet connection! Definitely not the best conditions for a web based slideshow generated "on-the-fly" by the execution of an IPython Notebook.
I found out about the lack of connectivity only 2 days before my presentation. I must have misunderstood the AGU oral presentation guidelines, but when I didn't find an explicit mention of the lack of an internet connection, I took it for granted that that wouldn't be an issue. Big mistake!
I decided it would be safer to prepare a power-point presentation, and some time later, I had one. Deep breath; I would be safe. But… what a disappointment !
I was so excited about the idea of showing my work running in realtime instead of showing a static (somewhat boring) ppt presentation!!!
I kept thinking about alternative solutions, though, and an idea quickly came to me. If the lack of internet stands in the way of an interactive, realtime demo there should be no problem in running a static HTML slideshows instead; at least that is what I thought …
I used the IPython "nbconvert" utility and its "convert to slide" option, and I successfully converted my workflow from an interactive IPython notebook running in slideshow mode to a static HTML5 slideshows, yeah! The audience wouldn't get to see how this was done, but at least they would get to see the result.
Happy with the final HTML presentation I finally went to the "AGU's Speaker Ready Room" to upload and test my presentation. Unfortunately, my HTML presentation would not run offline. The lack of internet was giving me troubles with missing JavaScript files, missing fonts, images-urls to be replaced with path to static files, broken hyperlinks etc … it was not as easy as I thought.
It took more than 3 hours to fix all the bugs on account of a really slow internet connection running from my phone, but finally i got my presentation perfectly running off line on the AGU computers !
In the end, my talk ran very smoothly. A complete workflow for "catchments characterization" using exclusively open source software, running online and fully reproducible thanks to the use of open source software and an open dataset! I felt really good, as I think I successfully got my message across, both in words and in actions.
To top it all off, my presentation came just at the right time. Before me, two other presentations during my session had mentioned the use of the IPython Notebook as open source software tool to enable reproducibility of scientific work. They had highlighted that it shows great potential and that it deserves further investigation. I think my presentation gave them even more proof of that! Even the chairman acknowledged this when he stated: "Before we heard about it, but now we saw it in action!" I felt very proud of what I had done. The effort I put into running the HTML slideshow definitely paid off!!!
