All this played out as anticipated as Wisconsin held the ball for a ridiculous 41 minutes to Ohio States 18.Pryor could not get it done (save for the scoring drive before the end of the first half).The way the game played out after that was a definite departure from the usual script.Or was itWelcome back, Ray Small.The kid has had his issues, but it sure was nice seeing him slice through the coverage team on his kick return.For the briefest of moments I thought I was watching Ted Ginn Jr.Ahhhthose were the days.Heres to solid play from Small for the rest of the year. Special recognition goes to Ross Homan.He had two sacks, forced a fumble, and was in on 15 tackles.As the lone returning linebacker this year, he has had to deal with higher expectations that, until now, he has been unable to meet.The vision of him whiffing on a tackle of Joe McKnight during the last drive of the USC game is still pretty vivid.Im hoping this game will give him the confidence that he can play at a higher level for the rest of the year.Kurt Coleman also gets special recognition.His pick six in the first quarter changed the momentum in the game.It was nice to have him back after serving a one game suspension.What STILL doesnt workI should just cut and paste past critiques of Terelle Pryor into my review each week.He still isnt comfortable as a passer, and Im not sure hes interested or capable of leading the offense a la Tim Tebow or Sam Bradford.To be fair, comparing Pryor to those two may be a bit unreasonable.However, as sophomores, one won the Heisman trophy and the other lead the nation in passing efficiency.More importantly, both had established themselves as the unquestioned leader of not only the offense but of the team in general. On the plus side, I like putting him in the shotgun instead of under center.This approach seems to give him more time to make decisionsnot that that always happens.Rushed throws were followed by bad decisions running the ball.He still has a lot of growing up to do.He did show nice skills on the lone score by the offense before the half.Youd think he could watch the tape of that drive and do a better job of capturing his decision making to speed up his maturation process.It seems so obvious.What are Buckeye fans missingHe has three more games until the real season starts.My goal is that he shows incremental improvement in each of these games before ending the season with Iowa, Penn State, and Michigan.The running game also lacked the consistency found in previous games.Well definitely need a healthy Boom Herron to complement Brandon Saine in November.Whats nextThe Buckeyes go on the road to West Lafayette next week to play Purdue.Tressel always gets the team ready for away games.I think Ohio State can tie the conference record for consecutive road wins this weekend.Consider it done.The defense will continue to dominate, and the offense will find a sliver of rhythm against a bad Purdue defense.I have it Ohio State 38 Purdue 10.Go Bucks!!!Buckeye John This article is also featured on The BIG HOUSE Blog. Version 4.0greatly expands Perst's usefulness in a broad range of applications byenabling it to add persistence to any object including objects createdby other programs, those for which source code is unavailable, and evenobjects created in different programming languages.Perst 4.0 also adds rich new tools for developing mobile and embeddedapplications in both Java ME and in Google's Android environment. ForPerst Lite (the Java ME edition of Perst), version 4.0 adds seamlessintegration with the popular EclipseME integrated developmentenvironment, as well as improved handling of memory and storage.In addition, Perst Lite 4.0 adds full-text search capability. Toillustrate the use of full-text search, the release also includes a newsample application, with full source code, demonstrating a local searchengine that indexes and retrieves contact information stored on Java ME-and Android-based mobile phones."Recent industry consolidations have reduced the number of vendorsspecializing in embedded database technology," McObject CEO and Co-founderSteve Graves said. "McObject remains dedicated to offering an open sourcedatabase for Java and .NET, with characteristics such as a smallfootprint, zero administration and fast performance that make it idealfor embedding. 
Perst 4.0 demonstrates this commitment by making the DBMSapplicable to a wider range of Java and .NET challenges, and we expectPerst's developer community to grow as a result."Past versions of Perst enabled developers to create and manage Java and.NET objects derived from the database system's Persistent class, whilebenefiting from Perst's high performance, small footprint, and featuressuch as ACID (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated and Durable) transactions, aSQL-like interface and specialized collections classes.In version 4.0, "foreign" objects or objects derived from any class can bestored in the database, vastly increasing Perst's usability with externalprograms. As a result, Perst can be added as storage for existingapplications such as commercial or open source class frameworks, includingGUI classes, object-request brokers, and industry-specific solutions; UMLmodeling tools that generate classes from wizards; and programs whosesource code is not available.Perst 4.0's enhancements for mobile and embedded application developersinclude a new example application called PIMindex for Java ME, andContactsIndex for Android that builds on the embedded database'sfull-text search to provide a local search engine for contact managementfiles on a cell phone or other device. The example software which isprovided with full source code could be extended to provide searchcapabilities for PDF, word processing, HTML and other stored files. With the enhancements, Perst Lite supports developers inbuilding Java ME applications (midlets) under EclipseME as part ofsoftware packages to be uploaded into devices adding embedded databasecapabilities to the list of software features that can go "From zero tomobile in minutes," in the words of the EclipseME project( ).In addition to EclipseME support, Perst Lite 4.0 includestheseenhancements:Full-text search. Perst Lite stores an inverse index of keywords, withparsing and stemming of indexed text performed either by user-defined codeor by Perst's default simple parser and stemmer. This feature supportslogical operators and calculates search results' relevance to a query.Automatic determination of storage type.

Perst Lite now chooses thecorrect storage layer implementation from among Java ME Connected DeviceConfiguration (CDC) file interfaces: JSR-75, which allows access to filesystems on certain devices; or Java ME's Record Management System (RMS)persistent storage mechanism.Support for "weak references." This simplifies the object cachingprocess by allowing objects to be claimed by Java ME's garbage collection,thus eliminating the need for developers to explicitly control cache size.Perst 4.0 for Java and .NET, with full source code, can be downloadedfrom http:// McObjectFounded by embedded database and real-time systems experts, McObjectoffers proven data management technology that makes applications anddevices smarter, more reliable and more cost-effective to develop andmaintain.

(PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) continues to demonstrate itstechnological prowess by providing an advanced steering column for theall-new 2009 Ford F-150 the 2009 Motor Trend Truck of the Year(TM) and2009 North American Truck of the Year. Delphi played a key role inhelping the truck become America's safest full-size pickup with topsafety ratings and a segment-leading list of standard safety features.In addition to the F-150, Delphi supplies steering columns for numerousFord vehicles, including the Ford Focus and Escape, the Mercury Mariner,Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car, the Ford Police Cruiser andall of Ford's full-size SUVs and all F-Series Super Duty trucks. All thesevehicles have earned 5-star crash ratings.Delphi and Ford Motor Company engineers worked in close collaboration fromthe inception of the new F-150 program to develop a unique steeringcolumn, carefully integrated with the instrument panel and knee panel toprovide better energy absorption and driver protection in a crash."Based on our success with the previous F-150, we were invited at the verybeginning of the design process to work with Ford on the column for thenew generation pickup," said Rick Nash, Delphi's chief engineer forsteering columns.
