I'm seriously so happy Blake is finally a 70% FT shooter. At the rate he's going 75% isn't out of the picture for the end of the season.
Yeah he's rising fast. I hope he doesn't lose focus.
The misses were when he was tired.
Did Blake sit at all in the second half?
Love Blake's improvements this season. Expanding his range and improving his free throw shooting and post game.
When was the last time Blake had back to back 30+ ppg games?
Hey David How's it going?
Much of Utah's problem was Blake got both their bigs in foul trouble and neither could handle him one on one. He beasted Kanter. When he guarded Kanter, Kanter couldn't move him but he could move Kanter. They couldn't stop him even when he was doubled. They bounced off of him like the truth bounces off of a lawyer.
How many jumpers did he miss? one? two? I wonder if the GSW game woke him up.
No but if he sat their bigs would have porked us. I hope he has some left for PHX. Will Collison guard Bledsoe? Bledsoe sure as hell will guard CP and I think Eric could torch Chris. EB like Parker is too quick. Jamal playing SF?
He's only done it 3 times before tonight. They were all in his rookie season.
monster night from BG, now if he hadnt turned it up would have actually got real ugly, other players got to step it up
I am sorry but i do not understand this. who is this Dolan Character?
James Dolan is the owner of the Knicks, the team some here were discussing trading Blake Griffin to for Carmelo Anthony. He has a history incompetence with managing the Knicks, whether it's absurd contracts, scaring off otherwise decent players, getting people to tail his team's coach, or hiring terrible front office management.
I hated this game and I'll tell you why. I was there. Whenever I was in my seat we would fall behind,when I would go into the concourse and watch we would gain ground or take the lead and hold it. I spent half the dang game in the concourse watching on TV. Ye am a superstitious type when it comes to sports but I fell on the grenade for our team !
And most importantly giving away draft picks like they are candy.
You're right Toohip- Favors only played like 22 minutes because of 5 fouls, and of course Kanter fouled out. Those two aren't exactly bad defenders either.
Ron- well it worked great, lol!
Sooo...about Crawford as a starter, with last night's poor shooting again, he's now at:
19.1 pts, 2.0 rebs, 2.4 assists, 2.0 tov, 38.6% FG, 36.1% 3PT, .504 TS%, 97 Ortg
Might be a combination of him not being as good in the starting lineup, but could it also be the fact that he has been evading father time with his play? He is 33 years old, he's no spring chicken, so how long could we expect him to be effective as an isolation scorer as he is?
33 though isn't really bad, guys can usually prolong it till like 34/35, I think, but he is 33 and 284 days, so he's basically 34.
I just think it's an awkward style for JC. Having to be more patient and be more off-the-ball. Maybe even playing more defense. It's a little out of his comfort zone.
There were times last night when I watched JC try to run without the ball and got stuck, not knowing where to go. He's trying admirably, but it's just not his game. He was terrific off the bench. We had JJ doing what he does best, then Jamal would come in and do what he does best. It was a nice rotation.
I think the explosion of Blake has more to do with more responsibility. There is no Martin or Odom to relieve him its on him to do all he can on both ends.
Your trying to hard to make a case for J.J., but your going about it all wrong, especially when they're averaging more points and giving up less without J.J. (I know it was the bench who was bad defensively). If you want to make a case for J.J. just say that he was scoring more Efficiently, but he still can't put up the all around numbers like Crawford can, and fact is they both could do well in both spots, but some of us like Crawford Starting for the Simple fact that he can take pressure of CP3 from having to make every play and from having the other teams best defender on him all night or because Crawford can get quality shot off with 5 seconds on the clock, and not to mention J.C. doesn't have to play nearly the whole 2nd or 4th quarter like he's been doing. But frankly I don't know why we keep trying to argue this topic, they both will most likely play when the game is on the line in the 4th quarter, we should be lucky to have them both and not care about who's starting or finishing, but there is no evidence that supports J.J. as a better starter than Crawford.
Kingkanyon, your argument is tired. And the suggestion that JC makes the starters better simply doesn't pass the eye test.
I know I appreciate what Crawford has done as the starter. When JJ is ready he will do us a much larger service off the bench.
Crawford has not looked to pass at all recently even when he should. I have found him exasperating. He is better
Off. Bench where he can focus on scoring the ball.
Then maybe I need Glasses, because from what I see, and just about every relevant sports caster to announcer can see is JC Free's up CP3. But as you say my argument is tired, because the record and stats suggest that...... wait they don't.
_______________________________________________________________You can Argue J.J over J.C. to the moon, but I'll never buy it.
JC is a Fringe All Star 20pt Scorer and a respected threat from every position of the Floor on Offense.
J.J. is a respected shooter, who requires your fastest defender to stay with him and who is not to be left open. But he can always be guarded by a weak defender.
I know one thing, I'd trade Redick for Crawford, but I would never trade Crawford for Redick.
Offensively it is pretty close in terms of team production with both, but Blake has also been shooting like 80% from the FT line since Jamal has been starting, so that's sort of a confounding factor.
Has Jamal really been creating much as a starter? Does a team with Paul and Griffin really need someone else to create on the ball and as a playmaker in the starting lineup? Maybe, maybe not. Another shot creator in the starting lineup is a nice luxury, but I wouldn't call it a necessity, especially comparing to other top teams in the league. A shot creator on the bench though, that I will agree is quite helpful.
Spurs: Parker / Duncan
Heat: Lebron / Wade (Bosh isn't used as a playmaker)
OKC: Westbrook / Durant
Indiana: Stephenson / George are the main playmakers
Portland: Lillard / Aldridge / Batum (but their offense is also a bit different)
Jamal is averaging 2.4 assists in 37 minutes, not too impressive. Redick was averaging 2.1 assists in 28 minutes. Jamal sucks are rebounding, so that is irrelevant, Redick was doing 2.2 in 28 mins. Has Paul really been getting any less of the best defender than he usually would? Most teams don't and Paul still gets the best defender even when Crawford is on the court, so that part isn't really changing much.
http://stats.nba.com/teamLineups.html?T ... ode=Totals
Starting lineup with Redick (290 minutes):
109.4 Ortg
101.6 Drtg
Starting lineup with Crawford (214 minutes):
107.0 Ortg
100.0 Ortg
So 2.4 pts better on offense, and 1.6 pts better on defense. So 0.8 pts/100 better overall with Redick, so basically the same, slightly better with Redick. Obviously not a total picture, the team has progressed in some areas since the beginning of the season, still accurate enough.
with Redick and Crawford (53 minutes):
119.4 Ortg
108.5 Drtg
Of course the sample size of the last one is not that large, amazing on offense, but defense is not so nice which does make sense, but it is +11, so if it was actually sustainable (it isn't), it would be good.
I think if the solution is that it is even with Jamal vs Redick starting, then Jamal as an on ball shot creator in the 10-12 MPG when he's in primarily with the bench and no CP makes more sense than Redick playing that role.
Is this an oxymorom? Lol
You may want to trade in your glasses, lol.
1st 17 games before Reddick got hurt:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... der_by=pts
Last 15 games:
Look at the FG%'s 3PT%'s, 2PT%'s. only thing better is our FT%. 1st 17 games the Clippers averaged 106.8 PPG. Next 15 games 102.9.
Crawford's role careerwise has primarily been on the ball. He isn't as good off the ball as Redick. Not a surprise he is doing worse as a starter.
Did you not see the game against the Spurs, were Khawi had to guard Crawford. Or how about GS were Iggy guarded Crawford and Klay guarded CP3.
But anyway, I'm not for or against Redick Starting, I just don't see why some people are against Crawford, I frankly can care less, about all the numbers or whatnot, they honestly can't tell you everything, but blah,blah blah, Crawford is still the better player, and he'll always be in the 4th quarter no matter what. So bring him off the bench to start or start him, he's going to finish. J.J. well not so much.
Jj was playing down the stretch in plenty of games. I want jj launching the ball way more than Dudley. I hate how Crawford gets tunnel vision all the time. Much better being the focal point of our offense with worse offensive players.
Really don't care for this Crawford vs Redick nonsense. Just grateful we have two capable starting SGs who can play the 6th man role as well.
Does Jamal necessarily take away the best defender form CP? Teams can just put the best defender on Paul, the second best on CP and the other guy on Dudley if they wanted to. Teams know CP is the best perimeter player on the team.
For example:
Warriors game with Redick starting:
Stephen Curry started off on Paul, Iguodala did like 2 possessions, then Thompson guarded him the rest of the way. Iguodala first stayed on Dudley, then got switched to Redick after Thompson was cemented on Paul. 2nd half started: Thompson on Paul, Iguodala on Redick, Curry on Dudley. 4th quarter, Thompson again, both Crawford and Redick were guarded by Iguodala, and Curry was on Dudley.
Warriors game, Jamal starting:
Thompson started off on Paul, Stephen Curry was guarding Jamal to start, then Iguodala got Jamal later.
So that's the exact same matchup for Paul in both situations. Really the Clips would need two high level perimeter guys for CP to be able to escape, and even then, if he's the best player, teams will still in dire situations put their best guy on him.
If you think Jamal is better, fine....subjective. Your choice. Most of the numbers say different whether you're are looking at the team or individual data which doesn't seem to matter to you anyway. You're a Jamal guy which is your privilege to be.
Just answered this. GS actually used Iguodala on Redick also and Klay on Paul. Jackson believes Klay is an elite defender at the SG position and actually prefers him on Paul.
Pop switches the matchups on Paul, but he generally likes to go conventional. Parker was on Paul for all of the first quarter and also the second. Crawford had Belinelli who came in decently quickly for some time, and when Green came in (no SF's that game), Leonard was on Green and Beli stayed on Jamal. Leonard was on Paul for a little bit of the 2nd and 3rd with Beli on Jamal, but then they went back to the PG on Paul. Since Pop has both Green and Leonard, he can always elect to put one on Paul and the other on Crawford, he has a nice luxury.
I think it's just coach and team dependent and who is hot or not, but it is also applicable to Redick in that if he is getting shots up against a small guy, the coach is going to want to get a more lengthy guy on him to contest better. They are both capable players.
Jamal isn't "bad", but if he's the better on ball creator and inferior off ball guy and screen user, then his skills while they are nice in general would benefit the bench more. Not because he's an inferior player, just like Manu isn't inferior to Danny Green.
JJ is definitely a more selective shooter than Jamal. He always has this dsicipline of not releasing the shot after the jump if he doesn't feel 100% about it.
It's nice to see that we have that luxury of having a SG debate. I only wish we had this problem with our front court as well.
Your number also says Dudley is a good value
Season, to my knowledge hasn't ended just yet.

Rains have pushed lake levels to the limit
By BILL MARDIS, Editor Emeritus
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
Almost a week of heavy rainfall during the Independence Day holiday period is pushing the level of Lake Cumberland higher than the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants it to be this summer.
Tom Hale, operations manager for the reservoir, said the lake will reach 714 feet above sea level Thursday. This will be about nine feet below the tree line and nine feet above the 705-foot target level for this summer.
"It won't get any higher than 714 feet," said Hale. "It will take about a week to get it back to the 705 level."
At 6 a.m. Tuesday, the lake level was 712.96 and slowly rising. Some 23,600 cubic feet of water per second were being released through Wolf Creek Dam to lower the lake.
There are no problems at the dam. A seven-year rehabilitation of the mile-long structure was completed in March and the lake level was allowed to rise 20 feet for this summer's vacation season.
Mike Zoccola, chief of the Civil Design Branch for the Corps' Nashville District, said the permanent concrete barrier wall inserted in the earthen section of the dam must be treated as a new dam, according to Corps policy. In other words, the lake is being allowed to rise in increments, 20 feet this summer and another 20 feet to pool stage by next summer.
The rainfall that doused holiday activities last week was not as heavy in the Cumberland River Basin as it was in western parts of the state. However, Chuck Greif, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Jackson, said the Cumberland River went above flood stage about midnight Sunday and dropped below flood stage Tuesday morning. Wolf Creek Dam impounds Cumberland River.
The prodigious amounts of rainfall, especially for July, created "tides" along small creeks that washed a lot of debris into the lake. An unofficial rain gauge between Somerset and Burnside collected 5 inches of water last week.
At noon Tuesday Lake Cumberland in the Somerset-Burnside area was slightly murky but generally clear. Pride of the Cumberland trash collecting boat was at Waitsboro cleaning up debris that had collected along the shoreline.

There's nothing like a swift economic crash to force business owners to immediately go into crisis-management mode. All businesses have scaled back spending, increased business development efforts and have continues of boot strapping to ride out the storm. From times like these come the adage, "never waste a crisis," and nothing could be truer.
A year ago the business environment was overflowing with opportunity. Now most businesses have experienced decreased profits, increased pressure from delayed payments, reduced or eliminated credit, loss of customers and overall contracting. However, in light of such misfortune, a greater opportunity exists. This requires a shift in thought process. Co-opetition is a counter-intuitive method of practicing business. It happens when you, recognize another business with a similar value proposition. It requires reaching out to another business with a historical competitive advantage and working together to gain market share as partners.
Inherently, the practice of co-opetition makes us uncomfortable because essentially we feel we're joining forces with the enemy. But in an environment where opportunity is lean, it is best to embrace the mentality that it is better to share 50 percent of something than to have 100 percent of nothing. I highly encourage business owners to consider their competition as potential collaborators. For example, one area of business opportunity which has been minimally impacted, and is receiving direct support through stimulus dollars is government contracts. For anyone who has competed in the contracting world, you know that it is a highly competitive arena full of "big dogs" who may engage small and minority enterprises to subcontract with them. It is difficult to gain an advantage against the larger corporations. The easier path is to sub-contract with a large primary contractor. There are numerous opportunities in the small to mid-value range that may be less appealing to larger contractors. Many of these contracts are up for grabs. As a small business, it would be beneficial for you to cooperate with another firm that, when combined with yours, makes you a medium-sized dog.
This method isn't only effective in the procurement arena. When seeing shrinkage in your customer base, it is obviously time to ask yourself, "What can I do differently to attract a more diverse client base?" Sometimes co-opetition does not involve your competition, but rather a company that has a relevant demographic similar to your own. For example, your baby-clothing store could do well to partner and share space with a maternity store. This brings both of your markets to one location for at least five years of continued patronage.
While this course of action may not seem ideal, you should at least consider it. Co-opetition could lead to an entirely new and profitable business model. And, it still beats the alternative—doing nothing at all.

Thanks for the comment Michelle! Its counter intuitive for us as small businesses or start ups. We're the little guy and the little guy always gets the crumbs…but when a bunch of little guys get together – well, you get my drift. More pie for the bigger guy (or gal!) Its about gaining market share and sometimes you need to collaborate in order to compete. If you don't – the big dogs – they'll eat your lunch.
Hope you have a success story to share with SCORE soon!!
Thanks for the great article! I could get used to co-opetition! I would have never of thought to partner with a competitor even though someone in a similar industry would work as well. I also love the fact that it would unite professionals to a similar goal. Thanks!
Amen to that Joanna! The power of collaboration is amazing, I'm always thrilled to see business owners see the greater value in a collective effort – increased value propositions are good for the goose and the gander. Thanks for the comment!
Yes! What a great article. Not only does Co-opetition (or as I call it: supportive collaboration) help your business, it also helps the world by bringing together two professionals or organizations in a powerful way to create a powerful product together.
Imagine how different things might be if we all believed that by working together, we'd create MORE business for ourselves!
Thank you for your great information about business.
Thank you for your encouragement. I'm willing to take the risk to bring my concept to the public arena through the Cosmetology Industry.
Agreed!! Sometimes we have to remember that there's feasting in the sharing…I hope you have a success story you can share with SCORE soon!
Thanks Mizanur – glad you enjoyed it!

Maintaining a prioritised product backlog of desired functionality is a key aspect of agile software development. When working with a single product owner and a small number of backlog items, this task is easily managed. However, scaling prioritisation to multiple stakeholders and large product backlogs presents unique challenges. This paper presents a market-based approach to prioritisation that is fair, open, and scalable.

It is often said that to truly understand someone else, one must "walk a mile in that person's shoes." Similarly, taking on more than one role on a Scrum team, on a temporary basis at least, can have unexpected advantages that may offset the disadvantages.

With Assistive Touch, users can tap the onscreen controls with just one finger or a compatible pointer or stylus, and replicate gestures such as a pinch and swipe, or commands such as adjusting the volume and locking the screen orientation. Users can also create and name custom gestures by recording the individualised movement to perform specific movements. This means that users are able to accomplish many more tasks independently with the limited movements that they have.
It can be found under the Settings > General > Accessibility section of the iPad. Once turned ON, a small white dot will appear on your screen. This can be moved and docked anywhere on the screen.
When you select the white dot you get four options.
- You can select "Home" which acts like the home button and takes you to the home screen – also an alternative if your physical home button breaks.
- You can select "Device" which performs actions related to the device such as volume up/down, rotate screen, lock rotation and shake, which "shakes" the device without actually physically doing it. This is great for people who find manipulating the small switches on the side of the device difficult or if the device is mounted on a wheelchair and the buttons are inaccessible.
- You can select "Gestures" which gives you the option of two, three, four or five finger gestures. Once chosen, the same number of blue dots appears on the screen. You can then perform the multi-touch gestures using one finger or an assistive device such as a stylus. The device actually reads the gesture as a multi-finger gesture, even though only one finger is touching the screen. For example, if I want to swipe across to the previous app I had opened I would usually have to use a four-finger swipe. With assistive touch though, if I was using a head pointer for example, I could perform the same action with the head pointer only.
- You can select "Favourites" which will give you access to all of the custom gestures that you have programmed. For example, if you are wanting to perform the five finger pinch gesture which returns you to the home screen, you can record this gesture, name it and then perform it by selecting one button. Some apps will also require very specific gestures, and custom gestures can be recorded and selected to perform these actions.
The assistive touch feature came out about a year ago with the iOS 5 operating system. iOS 6 is due out in a few weeks, and with this, it is rumoured that there will be additional functionality to this feature, allowing voice over to work when in assistive touch mode. For more information about other rumoured features of iOS 6, see "So what's next for iOS? So what?!".
Assistive touch makes navigating and using iOS devices much easier for some of the children and adults we support with physical disabilities and limited mobility. Just another example of Apple's commitment to making their devices accessible for all.

The Greenville City Council voted Tuesday to approve a new contract for garbage collection in the city.
The Council agreed to award the contract, which includes a slight rate increase, to Progressive Waste Solutions of Texas, formerly Independent Environmental Services Incorporated/IESI.
Interim City Manager/Director of Public Works Massoud Ebrahim told the Council that Greenville had been contracting with IESI since 1999 and that the existing contract expired on June 30.
Ebrahim explained the city contracts separately for collection and for disposal at the landfill, with the landfill contract due to expire in October 2018.
Ebrahim said he met with a Council committee comprised of Velma Del Bosque-Hobdy, Renee Francey and Sandra Linson Bell, which recommended a new five-year contract for collection with Progressive, after which the city might investigate going out for a combined contract.
The new contract with Progressive Waste Solutions includes the continued twice weekly residential garbage pickup and continued with commercial garbage pickup services, along with amendments to the existing contract to provide improved services.
The changes include a three percent rate increase, a reduced fuel surcharge, additional service for the Wastewater Reclamation Center, and new age and weight limits for the trucks which operate as part of the local fleet.
Council member Dan Perkins said that the company had done an excellent job, but wondered why the contract had not gone out for bid. He also asked whether once-a-week trash collection and expanded recycling had been considered.
Francey said she had spoken with about a dozen local residents about once-a-week collections.
"There were more people that did not want that," Francey said.
Ebrahim also recommended against once-a-week collections, given summers in Texas.
"Inside the toter, the temperature would go up to like 200 degrees," he said.
Francey said Ebrahim had investigated the rates and services in multiple area cities served by Progressive and other companies and was able to negotiate a good deal.
"The bottom line is, he had the numbers to look at," Francey said. "He was pushing hard."
Dick Demien with Progressive Waste Solutions noted the company provides Greenville residents with roll-offs from dilapidated houses, citywide clean-up events four times a year and curbside tire collections.
"The City of Greenville gets far more services for its dollars than other cities do," Demien said.
The contract will be effective starting with the new fiscal year on October 1 and continue through Sept. 30, 2018.

Fairmont Post 17 rolled past Charleston Power on Saturday night, 10-5.
In the blowout, Post 17 was led by former Polar Bear gunner — Brandon Plivelich.
In his 5.2 innings that he dealt, Plivelich was in command of all of his pitches. He was able to fire his curveball for a strike. That followed with a changeup and for his "good-night" pitch was a fastball that he would bury on the outer half of the plate that made the Power hitters look silly.
"It was the first time that I pitched in a while. My arm was feeling good, and my fastball was working along with my other pitches," Plivelich said. "I hit the spots when I needed to, and I was able to get some strikeouts."

If you did sign up for health insurance, and you have a policy, here is more information about how to use it!
Having an Insurance policy helps you stay healthy in more ways than one. Now you don't have to wait to go to a doctor until you get seriously ill. Preventive Care is what your doctor can do to help you from getting sick. It's covered by most health insurance policies at no charge to you!
Insurance policies, like taxes, can be confusing, especially if you've never been insured before. Use the glossary at healthcare.gov, to see what they mean when they refer to deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, copayments, and other unfamiliar words or phrases.

I am constantly amazed at the power that TV personalities have on the general public. Whether its a fabulously wealthy political TV pundit trying to convince middle class Americans to blame the poor for our collective financial woes, or Oprah making an unknown author rich by mentioning his or her book, the power of the media is phenomenal. This week's breakout success story belongs to a shrubbery, and I'm not talking about the shrubbery that the Knights of Nee wanted...
In plants, raspberry ketone is synthesized from coumaroyl-CoA. Extraction of pure raspberry ketone is usually 1-4 mg per kg of raspberries, therefore eating raspberries or raspberry seed, leaf or fruit extracts will not yield enough of the metabolic boosting properties. The natural abundance of raspberry ketone is very low, which makes it difficult to obtain a high ketone yield in a fruit, seed, or leaf extract. The preferred form is a synthetically produced raspberry ketone powder. This is prepared synthetically by a variety of methods from various intermediates.
A raspberry extract from the seed, leaf or fruit makes a very good anti-oxidant, but lacks the metabolism boosting properties of a pure white raspberry ketone powder. To put into perspective, to obtain 250mg of pure raspberry ketone, one would be required to consume between 60-500lbs of raspberries (ketone content is dependant on harvesting times). To obtain 250mg raspberry ketone from a simple raspberry ellagic standardized extract one would have to consume 100-300 capsules of even the highest quality ellagic extract. Raspberry products that state an ellagic content are extracts and are anti-oxidants, which yield minimal metabolic boosting properties. We've seen these extracts being called raspberry ketone on the market and this method of marketing is not accurate. To determine if you have pure raspberry ketone versus an extract, an extract will be a darker reddish and sometimes brown powder, the purer the material the more white it will be. The purest form will be white to slightly off-white in the form of crystal needles. When given to mice in high doses (up to 2% of food intake), raspberry ketone has been shown to prevent high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight. This effect is reported to stem from the alteration of lipid metabolism, increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis (fat loss). Although products containing this compound are marketed for weight loss, this effect has not been studied in humans.
In conclusion, raspberry ketones trigger a reaction throughout the body. Once ingested by the body, raspberry ketones trigger a norepinephrine release. This causes the release of glucose from energy stores and increases the breakdown of triglycerides into free fatty acids. Once this has been completed lipase takes over and breaks down the fats allowing them to be digested by the intestines. With this taking place your body will need to release more free fatty acids for energy since what was stored is now being burned.

In Detail
Microsoft Windows Phone 7 is a reinvention of the Windows Mobile platform and improves productivity by taking a fresh approach to the most common Smartphone business usage scenarios such as e-mail, calendar, contacts, and collaboration. Microsoft SharePoint is a Web technology-based server that can be used to build portals, collaboration sites, and also content management sites.
Microsoft Windows Phone 7 allows you to integrate with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and create enterprise-ready websites and applications that access SharePoint Server on Windows Phone 7.
The book starts by providing an overview of the out-of-the-box features of Windows Phone 7 for enterprises then moves on to an overview of the web browser that is included on the phone, Internet Explorer Mobile, covering the improvements found over the desktop version of Internet Explorer 7 and the limitations of the browser. The book then dives deep into topics such as Windows Phone 7 Web Development, building SharePoint Sites for Windows Phone 7, building SharePoint Pages for Windows Phone 7, and SharePoint Communities amongst others.
A fast-paced overview of enterprise-ready Microsoft SharePoint websites and applications built for Windows Phone 7
This book is a focused tutorial that shows you how to create enterprise-ready websites and applications that access Microsoft SharePoint Server on Windows Phone 7. This book focuses on SharePoint 2010; however, some of the concepts and explanations will also apply to SharePoint 2007.
Who this book is for
If you are a .NET developer who wants to create enterprise-ready websites and applications that access SharePoint Server on Windows Phone 7, then this book is for you.

No one expects the licking!
I want to thank everyone for being really nice to each other in the comments for this arc. The media tends to paint us as a divisive nation with intractable views that can never be compromised. The reality is something much less sensational which I think shows through in your comments. So thank you all for proving what I've always suspected.
Adult licking, coming to a theater near you!
Ally tries to explain.
No, it's just— help me understand how you can vote for those close-minded people who fight so damn hard to deny you basic rights.
Annie gives Ally a blank look. Ally freaks out.
Is this about same-sex marriage? Are you proposing?
Yes! I mean, no. Uh, I mean, it's— I'm confused.
Annie furrows her brow. She smiles, weakly.
HAH! Your face. Okay, look, at some point tonight I'm licking parts of your body. So let's talk this out like adults.
Ally bits her lower lip and grins weakly.
Can't we just distract each other with advanced mouth techniques? Like adults?
Big shout out to Erin from Hiveworks for hooking up the new backend! Things work a little differently now. The bloggy blog will still be on the page even when you click over to make a comment on the comic. And there might be some other odds and ends that a slightly different. But overall, things should work like they have been.
The Hiveworks team is hard at work migrating the YP comic CMS into something less crazy then the Comicpress madness. As a result, you'll notice a few 404′s if you click around here as well as comments missing on some posts. Those have been sucked into the new system and will be back up once we're able to finalize the migration. Hopefully, everything will get sorted out soon.
I've been meaning to update the website for a while now, but the WordPress/Comicpress combo has too many pieces that I'd need to change in order to refresh everything. There are so many bits that are connected with so many other bits that it'd be like digging for gold to make the changes I want.
The new system is more streamlined which makes things easier for me and actually loads a whole lot faster which makes things easier for you! So please excuse the mess while things are a chugging.
Some thoughts on the many different ways to make money drawing pretty pictures.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
2 Great Lakes Distillery parties: Pour Your Poison mix-off, new fall cocktails
Maybe a drink would improve this day. They'll be free Wednesday night at Great Lakes Distillery's annual Pour Your Poison mix-off, a competition among local bartenders.
The event starts at 6 tonight at the distillery, 616 W. Virginia St., with the competition starting at 7. It wraps up at 9; imbibers present get to vote for their favorites. Wear a costume, if you like.
There will also be a photo booth, giveaways and pumpkin carving. (Maybe carve the pumpkin before you start drinking...)
This Saturday at the distillery is Fall Be Kind, from 8 to 11 p.m. Bittercube will be mixing original cocktails for fall, based on Bittercube's barrel-aged blood orange bitters and Great Lakes' Pumpkin Spirit. One example: the Maple-Walnut Sour. That's pumpkin spirit, maple and walnut syrup, lemon and blood orange bitters.
DJs will be spinning their favorite fall records for the night as well during Saturday's speakeasy.

Appropriately, John Chen, an outstanding student of the Colburn School, has been selected to make his LACO debut alongside our seasoned professionals. Kahane opens the program with the 1782 concerto Mozart described as "very brilliant, pleasing to the ear, and natural," and the concert culminates in the darkened mood of concerto No. 24.
"...the fine American pianist Jeffrey Kahane…brought sparkle and imagination…[his] playing abounds with spontaneity.

I love lasagna. The rich flavor of marinara soaked meat, melded with delicious creamy cheese and then the comforting bite of fresh pasta. It's a dish that truly has everything. What I do not particularly love, however, is the time and effort that goes into making a good lasagna. That's why I fell in love with this recipe.

Do you want a chance to win a cool million? Who doesn't? Area residents will have their shot very soon.
ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? with Meredith Viera is a trivia show lasting 30 minutes, airing each weekday. Guests are quizzed with randomly selected questions. If they answer correctly, they win a randomly selected amount of money.
As watchers know, guests are also given some "help" through resources like "Ask the Audience" or "Jump the Question." Contestants work their way up the ladder in order to get to the big money, and try to win exactly what the name implies: a million dollars.
Are you the local quizzo champion? Do you always beat family and friends at Trivial Pursuit? If this sounds like something you can totally do, you have your local shot.
On Thursday, Oct. 11 from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, the show will host regional tryouts. The center is located at 1101 Arch St., Philadelphia.
Audition space will be limited. Those that tryout to be a contestant must be age 18 or over, a United States resident and meet all eligibility requirements. Contestants trying out must not have ever been in the "hot seat" in the past.
During the auditions, guests will be asked to take a written test first. If you pass the written test, a personal interview is conducted with a representative of the show. If you pass that interview, you are placed in a Contestant Pool and are available for selection on future shows.
There is no pre-registration necessary to attend the tryout. Complete and official rules can be viewed at this link.
If you'd prefer to just watch, you can register for free tickets to watch. The show is taped at ABC Studios, 320 W. 66th St., New York, NY. You can all 212-456-1494 or visit this link to purchase tickets.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? airs locally on 6ABC from 12:30 to 1 p.m.

As the northwesterly winds crank up... more snow will be likely! It will come in a spotty nature or streaky! What I mean by streaky... for example... Say It might be snowing in a line from Pikeville back towards Salyersville, but not in parts of Floyd or Johnson Counties. The same thing for Folks in Harlan & Bell Counties!
Here's what I am thinking for this week.
Facor this in with some really cold temps this week and it'll be just like the heart of winter!
I'll have another update on Monday

Update, 11 a.m.
A fire that started in the exhaust vent of a dryer in the main building of Arleigh Burke Pavilion has temporarily displaced 47 residents of the nursing home and retirement community, said Deputy Fire Chief Andrew Duke, one of several emergency responders with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department on scene Thursday morning.
The fire generated significant smoke in the building and extended to the second floor before firefighters extinguished the flames, which were not visible from the outside of the building.
The residents and staff are expected to return inside by 11:30 a.m., Duke said.
No medical or smoke-related illnesses have been reported, he said.
Original Post: Fire, EMS Respond to Nursing Home Fire in McLean
Approximately five fire engines are currently on scene at the Arleigh Burke Pavilion, a nursing home and retirement community in McLean that caught fire Thursday morning.
The emergency 911 call was placed at about 9:45 a.m.
Dan Schmidt, a spokesman for the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, said there is smoke inside the walls of the building and emergency responders are trying to located the origin of the fire.
There are no visible flames from the outside of the building.
The majority of residents and staff have been evacuated from the building. Others who are not in danger have intentionally not been moved from the facility, Schmidt said.
The fire seems to be contained, but firefighters are currently looking for extension in the building, Schmidt said.
There is construction on site, but Schmidt said it has not been determined if the construction is related to the fire.
Stay tuned to Patch for more details about this breaking story.

Office of International Engagement
Message from the Director & Assistant Provost for International Engagement
Welcome to the Office of International Engagement at UAH!
We live today in a tightly woven, technologically changing, highly connected world – in which we face issues of environmental change, technological advances, cybercrime, health and disease, access to clean water, and more. These borderless challenges can best be solved – can perhaps ONLY be solved – through international cooperation. And universities have a vital role to play in addressing them. As the American Council on Education (2012) says,
"One of the fundamental duties of U.S. higher education is to prepare students for productive and responsible citizenship. In the early 21st century, this means preparing students to live and work in a society that increasingly operates across international borders. Graduates must possess intercultural skills and competencies to be successful in this globalized world, and higher education institutions must commit to helping students achieve these outcomes."
At UAH, we are committed to preparing our students, faculty and staff for leadership and success in today's globally interconnected world.

Flu shots have never been easier to receive. Vaccinations are readily available in Montgomery County this flu season, even for people on the go, who might not have time to schedule a visit to the doctor's office. Get vaccinated at grocery stores like Giant and Acme, pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid, Walmart, Target. You can even get your flu shot at one of Montgomery County Health Department's free clinics, including one this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Montgomery County Community College.
But, are you guaranteed to get the flu if you don't get vaccinated against it? Of course not—but here's why getting a flu vaccine just might be worth your while.
Influenza, or the "flu," is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses infecting the nose, throat and lungs.
Symptoms include muscle or body aches, headaches, cough, sore throat, fatigue, fever or chills, and vomiting and diarrhea (the latter two are more common in kids). The flu can also worsen chronic medical conditions or cause death.
Unfortunately, flu viruses can spread easily via infected people coughing, sneezing or even just talking. Folks are contagious a day before symptoms appear and up to a week after getting sick.
It's also possible to get the flu by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching your mouth, eyes or nose.
The CDC recommends getting vaccinated as early as possible, as it takes a few weeks to reach full immunity.
Flu shots are an inactivated vaccine made from killed virus, which means it's impossible to get the flu from the vaccine, explains Dr. Angela Rasmussen, Ph.D, an infectious disease expert.
There are currently three flu shots being produced in the U.S.: the regular (intramuscular) seasonal flu shot, a high-dose vaccine for people 65 and older, and an intradermal (injected into the skin) vaccine for people ages 18 to 64.
A nasal-spray flu vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses (which also do not cause the flu) is also available to healthy people ages 2 to 49 years old, except pregnant women. The most common side effect from a flu shot is soreness at the injection site.
The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and up get an annual flu vaccine. Even if you don't think you need a flu shot, consider that you can be a flu carrier without feeling sick and spread it to loved ones around you, says Jack Cantlin, a pharmacist and the divisional vice president of retail clinical services at Walgreens.
Folks at greater risk for serious complications from the flu include the elderly, young children, pregnant women and nursing home residents. People with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and chronic lung disease—as well as those who work with them—are also at risk.
"People at high risk should talk with their doctor about getting a high-dose flu shot, as this can provide better protection for people with immune systems that have been weakened by age or other medical conditions," says Dr. Rasmussen.
She also recommends asking about the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination, because a pertussis infection coupled with the flu can cause more severe diseases, especially in young children.
People with severe chicken egg allergies, a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome, and those who have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine in the past should consult their doctor before getting a flu shot.
People who have a moderate or severe illness with a fever should wait to get vaccinated until they are well. Babies under 6 months of age should not get a flu shot.
In addition to doctors' offices and hospitals, flu shots are readily available at most pharmacies for approximately $20 to $30 (much of which is generally covered by insurance) and can be given without a prescription.
Many employers and community organizations also offer flu shot clinics, and non-profit organizations and local governments may offer vouchers for free shots.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Decades ago, surface mining was a hit-and-run affair in the hills of West Virginia.
Once the coal was removed, operators simply pulled up stakes and left the land behind, generally unfit for any future use
All that has changed since new federal regulations came on line, and next week, some West Virginia lawmakers plan to get a close up look at how land can be converted into a variety of uses.
Members of the finance committees in both the Senate and House of Delegates will leave a staging area along Corridor G for a two-day tour of Mingo County.
Over the two-day period, House Finance Chairman Harry Keith White, D-Mingo, will serve as host for visits to a golf course, a coal-to-liquefaction project, 13 miles of proposed four-lane highway, a new school, hardwoods factory and a new airport — all built on former mining property.
"This is a small sample of some of the things that have happened from post-mine land use in southern West Virginia," White said Wednesday.
"We just want to make the Legislature aware of what's going on and what can happen and with the future development of these properties, whether it be industrial or whatever."
Strip mining has come under intense fire in recent years, and White says he wants to show a positive side of the practice in the Monday-Tuesday visit.
"There are things that can happen after the mining is over to try to produce and be able to have additional economic development in southern West Virginia," the finance chairman said.
White said opposition to mining, or any other endeavor, is hardly new under the Capitol dome.
"I'm going to guess there is probably a little bit of anti-almost anything, anywhere you go," he said.
"At the same time, what our goal is, is to just try to showcase what can happen with the proper post-mine land use put in place, when you file all the permits."
Before the government cracked down, mining at times was shoddy.
"Obviously, in the old days, when the coal was gone, the property just lay there," White said.
"In the past, it wasn't always done with economic development in mind."
Over the past two decades, however, he said the idea has been to leave abandoned mine lands in a manner that is suitable for a single-family dwelling or an industrial site to generate job growth.
Under federal guidelines, operators are obligated to restore old lands so that it is as good or better before extraction began.
"What we've done is take it a step further, and we try to leave some kind of development on that site after they're gone," he said.
This Friday, a dedication is planned at a new airport with a 5,000-foot runway that could be expanded to as much as 7,000 feet.
"Our goal is to move most of that commercial air traffic through there and get UPS or Fed-Ex to use that as a major distribution point," White said.
"We've got the National Guard doing touch-and-gos down there now."

Irish Migrations
office of international programs
Dublin, Ireland
Just as the United States is as the classic nation of immigrants, Ireland is the classic nation of emigrants. No other European country in the modern era lost so high a proportion of its population overseas. Counting those who went to Britain as well as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, between 9 and 10 million Irish men, women, and children emigrated from Ireland since 1700. That number is about twice the population of the Republic of Ireland today and it exceeds the population of Ireland at its historical peak on the eve of the great famine. This course will examine the origins and character of one of the world's great migrations.

With the public vote to decide whether Nassau residents are willing to float a $400 million bond just four days away, the rhetoric is heating up on both sides of the massive development project.
"I am outraged that Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and the Republican-controlled legislature scheduled a referendum vote when a large number of residents will be on vacation, particularly when the general election is just about three months away," said Gary Port, Democratic candidate for Hempstead town supervisor. "While the scheduling of this vote is of great concern to me, it is imperative that every voter exercises their right on Aug. 1."
At a Thursday press conference, the Association for a Better Long Island (ABLI) demanded that the Nassau County Finance Authority (NIFA) block the Coliseum project from affecting Nassau County taxpayers, regardless of the outcome of the vote.
"There is a million-dollar campaign underway to convince homeowners that more debt and taxes is a good thing in Nassau County," ABLI Executive Board member Mark Hamer said. "That is insanity and NIFA knows it. The authority must play its role of cop and publicly call this dead on arrival or risk abdicating its responsibility to be the last responsible adult in Mineola."
However Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano said ABLI is distorting the facts.
"Despite ABLI demands for development rights at the HUB, Nassau County will not give into the pressure of a multi-millionaire developer organization," Mangao said. "The lease agreement is clear. The people of Nassau County retain development rights at the site of Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Should the public referendum pass on Monday and a sports-entertainment destination center be created, the land surrounding the new arena will become more valuable and residents will profit from that increase in value when the county seeks complimentary development."
Still, Nassau County Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs says a yes vote will increase taxes.
"Anyone who votes for this deal is voting to increase their own taxes every year for the next 30 years," Jacobs said. "Publicly financed arenas do not pay for themselves, and taxpayers will get stuck with the bill for this foolish project."
