The Toronto Maple Leafs have decided to delay a final decision on a captain and will go with three alternate captains.
A trio of defencemen will serve as alternates with recent additions Mike Komisarek and Francois Beauchemin joining long-time Maple Leaf Tomas Kaberle in wearing the "A" to begin the season.
"We are going to start with three alternate captains - Komisarek, Beauchemin and Kaberle," said head coach Ron Wilson on Wednesday.
"Hopefully by the first of November or so, after I get to know Mike a little better and Beauch, obviously I know Kaberle pretty well, then we'll make a decision on who the captain is. Or, if we don't feel, I don't think this is going to happen, but if we didn't feel that any one of those guys would be the type of captain we need, the type of captain the organization needs, then we wouldn't have one."
"They are all worthy, they all have different personalities and we will chose from one of those three, more than likely," said Wilson.
The team did not have a player wear the "C" for the 2008-09 season following the departure of former captain Mats Sundin.
Sundin served as captain from the 1997-98 season until 2007-08.
The Maple Leafs play their first game of the 2009-10 season on Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens at ACC.

Canon launches beta image management platform in the cloud
Slowly but steadily some of the digital camera manufacturers are adapting to the times, and today Canon has launched a beta service (cloud image management platform) with the name of Project 1709. It is a social-media integrated service of sorts. The beta includes versions in English and German. Just like other services that try to go viral, you have to request an invite before you can use it.
Due to temporary (?) Photokina-induced insanity (!), we do not have the brainpower required to check this service out right now ;-) But if you do, please feel free to leave a comment, or if you write about it on your blog or favorite forum, then please let us know so we can add a link to your first impressions.
More at Engadget and The Verge. Here is the Canon press release describing it. (via Techmeme).
Why 1709? I don't know, but maybe you can find clues by looking at the major historical events that happened in 1709: Wikipedia and Hisdates.com.

Why does my Wacom tablet not work correctly? Users of Rhino 4.0 who have Wacom tablets often have the following observations:
The Wacom tablet must be set to mouse mode, not pen mode. Note, this was also required with earlier versions of Rhino. But, the difference between V4 and earlier versions is that it wraps the cursor around the active viewport(earlier versions wrapped the cursor around the entire monitor). Thus you notice the effects describe above quicker.

Walker-Wheelchair Hybrid Helps Slow Degeneration
Did you know wheelchair designs have changed very little in the last 20 years? Gary Kurek, a 2010 winner of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), a program of Society for Science & the Public, is attempting to change that with a groundbreaking design combining the features of a walker and wheelchair that allows greater mobility for users.
Inspiration from grandparents
As a child in rural Alberta, Canada, Gary Kurek watched his grandparents battle cancer and lose mobility, relying more and more on walkers and wheelchairs.
"I was very close to them my whole life," Kurek says. "They were strong, independent people. After I saw them become debilitated by cancer, it just kind of shocked me. So my instant response was: 'How can I make their lives better?'"
Kurek went on to develop a device that can be used as a walker or a powered wheelchair. The flexible design allows users to restore their strength instead of growing dependent on the support. The invention earned 18-year-old Kurek top honors at the 2010 Intel ISEF in San Jose. A year later, he won a $100,000 Thiel Fellowship.
Bringing mobility devices to market
Kurek launched a start-up called Get Mobility Solutions Inc. in hopes of bringing his invention to market. "I'm currently in the certification process and hope to have the product ready within a year," he says.
The manual-walker and powered-wheelchair hybrid weighs just 35 pounds—about 12-percent lighter than most wheelchairs. It is powered by a rechargeable battery that provides up to 50 miles of use, according to Kurek.
"When you have huge numbers of people suffering from the same problems, it inspires me to continue my work," he says. "This product can greatly improve the quality of life for those with physical disabilities."
Intel Competitions
"At Intel ISEF I was able to gather feedback and validation on my own ideas while interacting and making friends with many great young people doing amazing work. Intel ISEF was a launch pad that propelled me to turn my projects into a full-time career." – Gary Kurek
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
Intel believes young people are the key to solving global challenges. A solid math and science foundation coupled with skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving are crucial for their success.

DCUO Blog 2: A Day in the Life of Professor Crackshot
Before we start with THE CRAZY, I wanted to point out one of the cool things about DC Universe Online: meeting characters from the DCU that I don't recognize. Since I don't really follow comics, I'm having a blast looking up some of the characters I don't really know well enough, like Booster Gold, my new personal hero.
Summary of Booster Gold's Wikipedia summary: a guy from the future who steals a bunch of awesome technology and time travels back to present day so that he can become a corporate-sponsored superhero. AKA, my new life goal.
And now some Professor Crackshot stuff.
- - -
Professor Crackshot stood at the entrance of the Little Bohemia precinct of the Metropolis Police Department. Today would be the day.
Today, Professor Crackshot would tour the Metropolis Metro Station.
He'd made all the arrangements: purchased the tour package from Booster Gold's kiosk, marked it on the map he was carrying with him, and repaired his guns in case he had to shoot anything with his guns. He was prepared, and he was ready.
Using his super-speed, Professor Crackshot began to sprint through the great city. Engaging his newly-discovered super-duper-speed, he started to fly uncontrollably over the landscape, sometimes getting himself caught on streetlights. Yet, he pressed on, following the arrow on his minimap.
As Crackshot was bounding over a building, a message popped up on his PDA.
________ has invited you to a group. Join? Y/N (paraphrased)
Without even realizing it, Crackshot accepted the invitation, and found himself communicating with a group of other strange exobyte-influenced superheroes.
Well, whatever. He thought. I'll tour the Metro Station after we defeat some evil!
Crackshot followed the new blips on his minimap to find his other group members battling some robots created by Brainiac. He found this to be odd, since he hadn't received this mission in Metropolis—although he had done a similar task in his hometown of Gotham. So, he started SHOOTIN UP DEM BOTS.
While he was SHOOTIN UP DEM BOTS, Crackshot noticed a few of his cohorts (or whatever the positive connotation of "cohort" is) breaking off from the group. Flanking the robots! Excellent work! he thought, incorrectly. They immediately started attacking some other kind of enemies, like, bee-people or something.
And that was when Professor Crackshot realized that nobody knew what they were doing. He promptly left the group.
On his journey to the Metro Station, Crackshot noticed another group of superheroes battling Bizarro, the dumb, opposite version of Superman (who is also dumb but in a different way). Noticing that they were having a hard time, Professor Crackshot fired a few of his signature "crack shots" at the strange reverse-man. Noticing that they had no effect, Professor Crackshot employed his signature "run away" technique.
Soon after, he received a new message on his PDA, congratulating him on defeating Bizarro, and gifting him with some new gear.
I love getting credit for not really doing any work, thought Professor Crackshot.
And he was the greatest superhero ever.

Old cars that run on gas aren't going away soon, and it'll take a fair sized paradigm shift to get most people to convert their gas-powered cars into something that runs on anything else, or even convert them to hybrids. So technology that can make gasoline from a renewable resource is pretty dang handy for the time between now and generic overnight viagra when the last gas-powered car goes into a museum or Jay Leno's garage.
We've seen the potential of gasoline from algae, but there is rx cialis also a push to turn trash into gas – a concept that has many appeal factors. Byogy, out of Bakersfield, CA, is claiming its process converts trash, manure (both animal and human), landscaping wastes, and other food wastes into high-grade, 95 octane gasoline at a production cost of viagra online us only $1.20-$2.00 per gallon.
The process and company have yet to www.hitlabnz.org prove themselves, and a facility won't be online until two years from now. But Byogy hopes that by 2022, it can fill 2% of the nation's gas tanks. If the technology is successful, I suspect that a larger percentage than that will be obtained by several companies picking through waste sites – a very happy image.
In theory, this "biofuel" is as ECO of Byogy Daniel L Rudnick says, "the Holy Grail of all biofuels" – but I hesitate to call it that just yet, considering we haven't really seen results.
While gasoline simply isn't a perfect option for our energy needs, this new tech is definitely an exciting prospect and, in keeping with reality, we need a sustainable alternative to gasoline that the sale levitra masses can use while our nation, and the world, shifts mindsets to realize that gas-powered vehicles are so last season.

It reminds me of the car for Back to the Future when Dr. Brown has converted it to run on garbage at the end of the movie.
This really is promising. I truly hope it works and can be developed to www.breinweb.nl be affordable. Not only will it solve our enormous fuel problem, it will also solve another major crisis - waste management. Think how much less will need to go into landfill if this project takes off.
And this fuel can be made from everything from potato peel to human waste? Wow. Can you imagine people paying you for the contents of your toilet!? (I wonder if you could make a full-time income from that? Be a welcome break from the 9-5!)
I hope Byogy pull this off.
A very informative post.

Think about this for a second... if the world (including USA) has a slow continuous trend of only for you buy cheap cialis online recycling and converting trash to other uses (such as biofuel, manure, plasma electricity, etc), and of pretty soon offering more cars that run on hydrogen and electricity, this can only be good for a certain amount of time.
I have no doubt that in the next few decades, all landfills will be gone, but to http://www.deboerderijhuizen.nl/buy-low-price-viagra convert it all to gas may not seem as hopeful as it seems.

Is it cold enough to talk about knitwear yet? Probably not, but I'm going to do it anyway. On Friday I treated myself to not one, but TWO pieces of knitwear AND a scarf. I know, wild. I'd finally got sick of wearing my husband's tatty old hand-me-down Uniqlo jumpers (which are great, don't get me wrong, but I wanted something brand new to call my own for once) and so I popped into Gap.
Holy cow is Gap having a great season. Sometimes I can't find anything in there to excite me – for example this summer all their lovely cotton sundresses finished annoyingly above the knee, which I simply won't do, so I had to regretfully leave them on the rails. But they've really pulled the stops out for autumn/winter 2013. There was so much to look at and try on I didn't know where to start. So when in doubt, start with knitwear.
I'm taking this whole '90s revival thing with a massive pinch of salt because I AM OLD but if there's one thing that I loved in the '90s as much as I do now, it's a nice preppy sweater. Back in the day I'd have worn one with a pleated mini-kilt and Kickers platforms, these days it's more likely to be a crisp white shirt or a plain tee, but it always, always looks neat. And yes, I am using neat as an adjective, along with nifty, snazzy and peachy – what of it?
Autumn is the perfect time to wear a fine-grade knit with a cotton t-shirt underneath, then all you need is a light blazer on top and you will be warm enough, but not hot. This is not the time for roll-necks or chunky jumpers my friends, trust me, it can get sweaty out there. I bought a navy and maroon stripe, round-neck, merino wool sweater and a bottle greencardigan at the Gap on Friday and they've slotted seamlessly into my wardrobe (I don't know why they don't have those specific colours online, but they're in store now).
I have my eye on this windowpane pullover too – that oversized check was everywhere at London Fashion Week and it's so clean and graphic, I love it. And my shopping buddy picked up this pointelle sweater in navy which has great bracelet sleeves – that's the kind of little detail that makes a casual weekend outfit a bit special.
With indigo skinny jeans, Chelsea boots and a blazer I've got my everyday look sorted for the next few weeks (that's when I actually leave the house – when I'm at home I will be living in Gap's stripy lounge pants and one of the aforementioned moth-eaten Uniqlo pullovers.)
And here's a little Stingy Shopper tip for you: if you want a cashmere scarf, head to the men's department at M&S. I picked up this beauty for £35 which for cashmere is incredibly good value. It's indecently soft, long enough to wind multiple times around my neck and snuggle into, and the deep burgundy colour is spot on for the autumn trend for all things wine-coloured. Quite frankly, the cashmere scarves in the women's department were hideous – why did they keep the nice ones for the men?
And here are a few more...
Anything in a deep, dark berry or wine shade is going to be a) mega-flattering and b) trendy in the laziest way possible, aka a winner in my book! This simple sweater from Evans is a prime example...
And so is this one from the often-forgotten Benetton, which does incredibly high quality knitwear at really reasonable prices.
And just because something's simple and fuss-free, it doesn't mean it's boring - take this & Other Stories asymmetric knit as a case in point.
And if you really want to look mega-cool, do like the stylish women I saw at fashion week and tuck a fine gauge knit into a full skirt (preferably leather). This one from Hobbs would be perfect - just wear a camisole underneath.

Occupational Therapy Programs >
Our program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE), American Occupational Therapy Association. The corresponding Web address is www.aota.org/Education-Careers/Accreditation.aspx. They can also be contacted at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD, 20814-3449, telephone 301-652-2682.
Our Department received initial accreditation in 2001. Our department has recently (August 20, 2012) received re-accreditation for 10 years. Our next accreditation cycle is 2022. As the Department is fully accredited, graduates are eligible to sit for the National Certification Examination for the Occupational Therapist, administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT), Web site www.nbcot.org. After successful completion of this exam, the graduate becomes an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). Most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the successful completion of the NBCOT Certification Examination.
Students seeking the entrance into health and human service professions should be aware that the presence of a criminal record can result in the refusal of licensing/certification/registration agencies to issue the credential needed to practice in the field of study. Prospective students are urged to contact the pertinent state and/or federal licensing board to inquire whether a criminal record will have an impact on your eligibility to obtain licensure or certification. Students are also advised to seek further information at: National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy, 800 S. Frederick Avenue, Suite 200, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877-4150, telephone 301-990-7979.
Consistent with the Centennial Vision of our Profession (www.aota.org) , our Department has developed an enrichment program to facilitate successful professional development for students from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds. The total number of graduates who passed the National Board for Certification Exam (more information at www. NBCOT.org) as first time test takers is presented on the following table.
NBCOT Pass rate chart
* The years represent calendar years. Our program graduates the majority of the students in September of every year. Some students may take the exam within the same calendar year (between September and December) and some may choose to complete it in the first 6 months of the next calendar year. This explains the discrepancy between the number of students who graduated and the number of students who attempted the NBCOT exam
According to the Department records (NBCOT data is not available at this time). The average pass rate (years 2010-2012)for graduates who attempted the NBCOT exam within 12 months of graduation from our program is 92%. Data was obtained by comparing graduation lists to the NBCOT listed graduates who have passed the exam.
Approximately 89% of the students (16/18) who graduated in September 2012, received employment positions in the field of occupational therapy within 3 months of graduation. 100% of the graduates in 2012 were employed within 1 year from graduation. The majority of our graduates receive employment offers prior to graduation.

Teenager from India invents device that can convert breath to speech
A high school student from India has invented a device that can convert a person's breath into speech, to give millions of people around the world suffering from speech impediment a 'voice' for the first time.
Sixteen-year-old Arsh Shah Dilbagi has developed a new technology called 'TALK', which is a cheap and portable device to help people who are physically incapable of speaking express themselves. Right now, 1.4 percent of the world's population has very limited or no speech, due to conditions such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), locked-in syndrome (LIS), Encephalopathy (SEM), Parkinson's disease, and paralysis.
His name is Arsh Shah Dilbagi and he's 16 years old. Gettin tired of sensationalized "mystery baby from a country where people are brown does a science thing!" articles. Use peoples names, don't act so surprised when people of color are geniuses.

February 05, 2013, 1:56 PM — Many companies have a hard time getting employees to attend corporate training. Workers are often reluctant because it means taking time away from the office and possibly incurring high travel expenses. With corporate training budgets currently in recovery mode after the toll the recession took, many companies are looking to see the ROI before buying in to training.
In hopes of making training more accessible for employees, Deloitte put its course catalog, Deloitte Leadership Academy, online. The catalog includes a variety of courses and webinars from Harvard Business School to Melbourne University in Australia.
The challenge was getting nearly 200,000 Deloitte employees and more than 50 client companies to log on, take courses and continue the practice of corporate training.
Deloitte Leadership Academy focuses on leadership training classes such as managing change, leading teams and managing complex situations. Because the target group for these classes have schedules with little time to spare, the classes needed to be designed to be quick and easy to take, says Frank Farrall, lead partner at Deloitte Digital. "[The classes are] meant to be [something] you can digest in 10 minutes to an hour while you are on the move," he says.
Deloitte Leadership Academy adds gamification to corporate training.
Deloitte added videos and downloadable content to the courses in order to make them easier to absorb. But it was going to take more than that to give employees more incentive to take part--it was going to take something like adding fun.
A Vistit to Badgeville
In early 2012, Farrall called on Badgeville to add gamification functionality to Deloitte's course portal so participants could earn points and badges based on the number of courses completed. Every time an employee completes a course it is added to his or her total number of points and badges. Employees are ranked based on these totals, and the top earners are rewarded with coveted seats on the leader board.
[ Related: For CIOs, the Games Are Just Beginning ]
Farrall says he thought gamification could be the thing to "drive stickiness" to the learning portal. "It's meant to incentivize you from a peer-comparison point," he says. "Any time you put a leader board up, the increase in activity is dramatic and noticeable."

Yes, Derrick Rose is magnificent. Yes, he torched the Atlanta Hawks. This is what League MVPs do. You can't stop them forever, you can only hope to slow them up. As Derrick Rose championed his team's cause with 44 points on the way to a 99-82 victory, the casual observor would likely give the Chicago point guard all the credit.
The casual observor would be wrong, and that is not taking anything away from Rose, who had a fabulous bounce back game.
Chinks in the False Armor
Is there ever more cause for consternation than a team of guys who lose a game, and then can't agree onwhy they lost, or what they need to do to win? It seems that we Hawks fans would be used to this by now, but then…should anybody have to get used to it? Courtesy of the inestimable Michael Cunningham (Hawks beat writer), the below post game quotes show the typical post-loss splintering of the Hawks' psyche:
J.J. didn't like the offensive approach: "It just seemed as if a lot of times we just ran a lot of pick-and-rolls and I was just kind of buried in the corner. I just thought we played into their hands. We didn't do anything, I thought, to get our scorers the basketball to make plays. They come with the double team and they make us give it up. We can't win like that. If you look at Game 1 it was nothing like that. Obviously they made adjustments but at the same time we have to stick with what got us here."
"Honestly, I just got to force the issue," Joe said. "In Game 4, I am definitely going to do that. I am not going to succumb to the double team and give it up every time because that's what they want. We are playing right into their hands. I blame myself for that."
Okay, so Joe knows that the double team strategy is killing the Hawks, but does he have the right answer? Does forcing the issue mean he's going to hold the ball longer, or is he going to make the other team pay for doubling him? Here's the problem – he can't do that alone. If guys continue to stand around when he or Jamal get doubled, nothing will change. Well, except for the frustration factor, which will only go up.
And now the second team captain speaks:
Al: "We had too much one-on-one. When you do that, this team is too good defensively. We just need to do a better job moving the ball and running the offense the right way. If one guy is not running the offense right, it's not going to work for others. So I think that's our biggest problem right now on the offensive end."
Al is telling the truth, but is he owning his contribution to the problem? It seems to me that the one-on-one was a result, at least in part, of other guys not stepping up and contributing offense. So who is Al blaming for not running the offense right? Jeff Teague? Joe Johnson? Jamal Crawford? Here's the naked truth – 2nd year man Teague is easily having a better series than two-time all-star Al.
Funny thing is, our sometimes scapegoat sixth man gets it:
"Whenever I'm at the top of the key, I see a second defender," [Jamal] said. "They're coming until I pass the ball. They're kind of taking it out of my hands. That's fine. I just want to make sure that we make them pay because we have an advantage
somewhere out there with two guys on me. if we don't make them pay, then they're going to continue to do it."
Pain in the Paint
Of course, the Hawks aren't just having offensive problems. And, they're all too willing to focus on how they're going to contain Derrick Rose. But, I contend – it's not Rose that is beating them. Rose is magnifying Atlanta's real problem, and that is the unwillingness to get down and dirty with the Bulls. Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson are good rebounders and hard workers, but neither guy fits the description of a goon or an enforcer. The same goes for Carlos Boozer, who has the look but hardly the mentality (much to the chagrin of Chicago fans). So what is the problem? Why are Al, Josh, and Marvin having problems with them on the glass? It isn't athletic ability. It's not health. As Hawks fan Astro Joe reminded me, it's all HEART. Josh Smith showed more of this in last night's game, but it wasn't enough, and like with his cohort Al Horford, it came too late.
What makes this worse is the paltry performances from Chicago's Carlos Boozer. Hawks fans aggravated with Josh Smith have something in common with Bulls fans in regard to Boozer, even though he has his teammates' support. The Bulls' power forward was supposed to be the #2 scoring option for Chicago, and has 20 point/10 rebound potential. The fact that he has only lived up to about half of that (the rebounding) only makes the Hawks' low post shenanigans all the more heinous.
Face the Mirror
Rose won't score 44 points every night. His teammates are limited. But what they are capable of, the Hawks have allowed them to do only too well. The Bulls are winning the game by not letting the Hawks go with option #1 on offense (let their 2 shooting guards do most of the work), and by beating the Hawks literally everywhere else in the game. There is no excuse for this. You can't beat the MVP on most nights. But you can beat his teammates.
That's what the Hawks have to do to win.
Drew Adjustments
If Larry Drew wants physicality and the Hawks don't provide it early on in game 4, he would be well served to inject Damien Wilkins and especially Zaza Pachulia into the game. There isn't a single Hawk who works harder and more consistently on the glass and gets better position than Pachulia. He won't back down from Chicago's slender bigs (only Boozer is a thick body), and will likely leave some bruises as well. Wilkins probably can't do a lot on the glass, but he'll make thing tough in the driving lanes for Rose if he's anywhere nearby, and he won't do worse than Marvin Williams, who seems to have found himself on the back of a milk carton again. Besides, it may help light a fire under the starters if they have to watch the game from the bench for a while.
On the offensive side of the ball, the only answer to solving the Bulls' defensive adjustments is to attack quickly, make the extra pass, make the SMART pass, and take smarter shots.
Of course, the question is whether or not the Hawks can all realize this at the same time, and put it into action.

Excuses, Excuses, their were to many bulls fans
We were in the wrong offense
we just could not get it going
we did not come out with any energy
This group of individuals they have assembled to be ATL Hawks are pathetic.
How do you come out in a nationally tv gm in the playoff at home, soldout crowd, not ready to play or "we did not have any energy tonight" how bout we wont pay your "azz" tonight.

Gotta be said: Rondo's performance last night might have been the gutsiest that I've ever seen in my lifetime. Only thing that rivals it was Pete Sampras literally throwing up on the tennis court in the middle of a fifth set tiebreak, and then rallying to win the match.

yes the league designated Al Horford an All Star center but that does not mean that Noah is not 6′11 and outrebounding Tim Duncan.
and Horford and Marvin as a "frontcourt" is not good defensively. Having an all star does not mean you get to win playing small ball.
Is Josh an All Star "Power" forward and center? No.
Because rebounding is a team effort and u need 3 guys crashing the boards (see Memphis: Battier 6′10, Randolph 6′9, Gasol 7′0)
Isn't Josh a better rebounder and defender and option to get double teamed in the post leaving our shooters open when he plays the 3 as opposed to the 4?
Sometime we need to stop blaming the chinks in the armor and realize this lineup is not shooting 3s well enough to overcome its size. 6′10 "center" with a bunch of small perimeter players we went back to being Orlando.
Is Marvin dead weight as a starter but firepower off the bench?
Put Jason Collins back in.
May 8th, 2011

+ Josh has yet to see the post versus Deng
+ Horford can finally shoot off of doubles from Josh
+Deng cannot switch off to Joe because Bogans/Korver will be left to cover Josh (watch out for flops)
+ Joe vs Bogans = double teams
+ Collins can screen for Joe letting Horford focus on setting up for his jump shot instead of picking himself
-less spacing
+less spacing, more offensive rebounds, more attempts at the rim
+more offensive rebounds=opportunity to kick out for an open 3 if CHI is out of position
Bottom line: this lineup clogged the lane in the Regular Season and made Rose into a jump shooter and everyone else had terrible games. Hawks won.

Big Ray,
Sometimes JJ can't get out of his own way.
Could J.J. help himself by making quicker decisions against pressure?
LD:"Without a doubt. When you know teams are playing you the way they are playing Joe, you have got to do things faster. That was something we put a lot of emphasis in at the start of the playoffs against Orlando is for him to do things faster. They are not going to let you and just jockey around with it. They are going to be on top of it right away. You have got to do things a lot faster.
Your moves have got to be quicker and then just up into your shot. Just jockeying around trying to create space and go one-on-one against a set defense the way that they play him, chances are it is going to be tough for him. But if he does things just a little quicker–coming off screens, looking to shoot the ball right away–those are the kind of things that free you up.".
But is J.J. comfortable playing that way considering his deliberate style?
LD:"Comfortable? I don't know. Capable? Yes. He has shown the ability to come off screens and shoot the ball. Certainly I have seen him go into moves a lot quicker. I don't know how comfortable he is doing it but I know he is capable.".
If JJ is going to get his shots up, he needs to go quick, hopefully before the double team comes. And if the double team does come, then he needs to make the right decision quickly. And his teamates need to be ready to help.
May 8th, 2011

@niremetal: "MC, Have you ever asked Josh what he thinks about fans loudly groaning and shouting "nooooo" when he goes to take a jumper?"
yes. he claims he doesn't hear them. of course he does but that's what he says..
Is is because Josh is in denial?
May 8th, 2011
3:41 pm
Big Ray,
Hawks just dont know what it is to be physical. We are more of a finesse team, so we need physical players. Roster shake-up anyone?
And its hard for Josh and Al to be physical when LD might enforce his 2 foul rule.
But it is unacceptable the way Al has disappeared. I did not expect it from him. Hopefully, he gives us one of those 15 points, 15 rebs performances tonight.
And if Josh and Al are having good games, that will take some of the pressure of JJ.

8:06 pm
From MC's pregame blog;
"This is what it's like to coach the Hawks sometimes. . .
L.D. looks at his computer screen, where Smoove's shooting percentages by distance are displayed. He holds up a shooting chart of Josh's misses and makes.
These are the tools L.D. uses to try to convince Josh to stop taking Js.
"I've had talks with him: 'You can't take those shots. You are not making them,'" he said. "When I talk to my players and I am making a point, I back it up with numbers and facts and video.".
The fact that Josh continues to take bad shots despite all the evidence is very frustrating.
LD decides to start the big lineup. I think I would have started ZaZa instead of Collins, because Twin plays good position defense, but if the offense is not run through the guy he is guarding, he loses osme effectiveness. And he is not a good rebounder.
May 8th, 2011
8:21 pm
Great minutes from Twin although he picked up 2 fouls in 6 minutes.
And great start for JJ. He is making his move quicker.
May 8th, 2011

Man, who is this Boozer guy?
May 8th, 2011
8:33 pm
JJ isnt going any quicker, he just isnt making an attempt to run the offense. Everyone makes it sound so simple, dont you think the bulls know the offense and we only have two scorers. No one is an offensive genius without any players. Additionally, LD is being forced into the same decisions as woody with a limited roster. JJ is not the problem, its the roster.

4 of Marvin's 5 shots (80%) have been block. My goodness…
May 8th, 2011
10:13 pm
They called a phantom foul on Zaza when Boozer took a jumper. Marvin got blatantly fouled in the act of shooting 3 times without a whistle, and then got called for two ticky tack fouls on the other end. This is the worst officiating I've ever seen in a Hawks game.

11:48 pm
Did you see the plays? Marvin got clobbered on two of them and also was fouled on a third. On the third one, he got hit across the body without it really altering his path – in the playoffs, it was a foul that isn't usually called, but the reason I bring it up is that Rose got to the line on the same type of play 3 different times during the game. And then Marvin got whistled for breathing on Bulls at the other end. Incredible.
As soon as the inadvertent whistle happened, I knew that the post-game commentary from the talking heads would be how the refs blew THAT call rather than the 8-10 ridiculous foul calls against the Hawks and the 6-8 ridiculous no-calls on the Bulls. It was so damned predictable. I still can't believe Marvin got hit across the face with no whistle, and then Zaza breathed on Boozer's elbow and was called for a shooting foul. Total BS. And you could tell the Hawks were pissed about it, especially in the first half.
The Hawks kept their energy level high. They were electric from the time the ball went up. It was the hardest I've EVER seen them play. If they can bottle that energy for 2 more games, they will get into the ECF. Unless Stern sends the refs another memo…
May 8th, 2011
11:49 pm
Bah, blog monster ate a post where I b!tched about the refs. Ah well.
May 9th, 2011
12:39 am
nire the refs sucked big time. i think they also missed a charge that should have been called on teague but it was far from make up as they missed so many the other way. rose is a protected commodity now and he gets the calls forever going forward. the foul will be called so you might as well make sure he feels it.
still reflecting back on how aggressive teague has been on defense. he plays rose straight up or follows korver running wildly through the maize of bulls like his shadow. yes as i called jt, jt0 last week, he has earned it.
geez, rose is so good.
May 9th, 2011
1:50 am
I realize that you didn't have the replay available, but Korver was clearly inside the dotted line on the Teague non-charge call.
Isn't it amazing when J-Smash shows up?
May 9th, 2011
2:42 am
Only watched live the 4th quarter.
Watching now: 6.52 to go in the second and we already have 3-0 in calls/non-calls going the bulls' way:
Foul on Marvin at the rim (block my *ss)
Foul on Pachulia at the rim.
Second quarter:
Phantom foul on Zaza – boozer to the line.
May 9th, 2011
2:46 am
Phantom call (3rd foul) on Horford with 5 to go in the 2nd.
May 9th, 2011
7:13 am
no sautee i couldnt see it on the replays on the big tv and thanks. it loooked like he was far enough away from the basket. funny the only "blown" call by the officials was the one they admitted they didnt call for rose and called it an inadvertant whistle. they hacked with no calls, we slapped at thin air and call were made.
in stern rules you have to beat the refs, too, just as the mavs did. seems the lakers came undone when it wasnt going their way and more ron artest's were uncovered on their team. really sorry to see bynum do that he is supposed to be better than that. if they dont get more than what marvin did after his incident then there is reason for pause to stop doing the nba and go on.
May 9th, 2011
8:17 am
Great team win. LD had a good plan, and the players executed well. And Teague looks like a veteran out there.
Props to the Hawks fans in the arena too. They provided some extra energy, and would not be outdone by the Bulls fans.
Very disappointed in Bynum too. Not only was it a punk move, but he also went after the smallest guy on the court. I think Lakers GM will call up the Magic's GM and offer him anybody on the roster (except for Kobe) in a trade for Howard.
May 9th, 2011
8:34 am
Finished watching the game a few minutes ago.
There were at least 8 to 9 very clear blown calls going the Bulls favor.
Just in the third quarter Josh got fouled by Gibson twice (charge converted in 2 FT, dunk where he fell on his back with clear contact). There was a third call that I don't recall. All in a span of 1 minute.
We benefited from 2 calls down the line: Teague's charge (pretty clear) and Crawford's foul on Rose, but Teague got fouled in one of his lay ups and no call, as it was the whole game when Teague got to the rack.
The latter call which has been said benefiting us (Rose 3FTs) IMO was doubtful, Crawford jumped vertically and at some point refs need to start calling these correctly.
If someone jumps vertically you should not be able to simply get yourself under and get the call.
So, in my book, the no call was a good call, although Salvatore has since said that he was wrong…
Talk about pressure… We should brace ourselves for an even worse showing by the refs in CHI but if Josh played like he did in the second half we should be able to compete.
Collins may have been limited by fouls but 2 dunks and 2 charges drawn. That's worth 8 points.
Zaza with enough minutes almost invariably produces what we need from him. Sometimes he should shot that midrange jumper and do it with confidence like he did in the second quarter.
That would help keep defenses honest.
Diaper Al was much better tonight. Very few rebounds but one of them was KEY off Rose's missed FT and you simply can't contest his efficiency down low.
What is there to be afraid down low? When he took his body against Noah's he simply dislodged him from the paint and dunked the ball at will. Gotta repeat that in CHI.
Great solidly quiet game by JJ. Did not force it in the 4th when CHI overplayed him, allowing us to get easy baskets off the double and triple teams.
Teague is showing that he can play at this level. Obviously that with Jamal and JJ getting double teamed he is benefiting from some space but those 4th quarter layups were simply sick.
And he added 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal on Rose!
May 9th, 2011
9:47 am
yeah vava, in the first half, zaza clearly had a vertical hands up with no jump (because he cant) and rose ran right into it and they called zaza for it. the only way he could have not made contact would be to bring his hands down. he did absolutely nothing with his hands except hold them up. no call or call it as a charge into a set player. sautee said teague wasnt called because the defender had his feet inside the circle which i didnt see at the game on replay.

26 January 2012
Differences in the speed with which species are adapting to climate change are an increasing threat to the functioning of ecosystems. This is just one of the findings of Natural England's Climate Change Risk Assessment and Adaptation Plan published today.
The report also identifies mountain, coastal and wetland areas as being particularly at risk due to their vulnerability to a range of factors linked to climate change including warmer temperatures, decreased rain fall and sea level rise. A five year adaptation plan has been formulated to help address the threats identified.
From changing phenology and species ranges to ocean acidification the direct impacts of climate change on the natural environment are already being observed. Future responses to climate change could profoundly affect the natural environment in positive or negative ways. These changes present threats and offer potential opportunities for Natural England in its role of protecting and enhancing the natural environment.
The Climate Change Act 2008 introduced a new power for the Secretary of State at Defra to direct providers of public services to prepare reports on how they are assessing and acting on the risks and opportunities arising from a changing climate. Natural England is voluntarily reporting under this framework.
These Adaptation Reporting Power (ARP) reports complement the wider sector based Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) that has recently been published, and will be used to inform the development of a National Adaptation Programme (NAP).
The report Natural England's climate change risk assessment and adaptation plan highlights that climate change driven threats fall into three distinct categories:
direct effects on species and their interactions that threaten the ability to protect species and ecosystems;
Indirect threats mediated through responses of government, society and individuals, for example greater competition for land and water, global effects of climate change leading to increases in commodity prices and a subsequent pressure for agricultural intensification
actions to promote mitigation and adaptation in other sectors if consideration is not given to their effects on the natural environment.
An important conclusion is that the threats will not be uniform and there are some areas in which multiple risks appear likely and my interact. These include coastal areas with soft coastlines such as dunes, and coastal wetlands; freshwater ecosystems such as rivers, lakes and wetlands; upland and lowland peatland; historic parklands and other woodland areas, and high upland areas. This finding reinforces the view that wetland, montane and coastal systems appear particularly vulnerable in the short term.
To address the threats we have identified, a five year Adaptation Plan has been developed, with specific commitments for different areas of our work.
The plan is based on three principles;
an adaptive management approach - measures will be regularly reviewed and lessons learnt for future work;
an ecosystem approach - we will consider the full range of ecosystem services a healthy natural environment provides to people
broad delivery partnerships to safeguard and enhance environmental benefits, involving government agencies, local authorities, non-government organisations, land managers and local community groups.
The report also highlights actions which reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (such as preventing further deterioration of peatlands) or by promote carbon sequestration (e.g. through tree planting; conversion to permanent pasture; peatland restoration and protection of soil carbon).
In November 2010 we published an interim report Assessing and responding to climate risks to Natural England's objectives which describes the processes we put in place to assess climate risks to our corporate objectives and to identify and implement appropriate responses.

Coital Alignment Technique – How and Why
Coital Alignment Technique is often claimed to be an effective way to speed up female orgasm and help to achieve simultaneous orgasm. In fact, for many women, this seems to be the only way for simultaneous orgasm during genital sexual intercourse (without fingering and licking).
These claims are not baseless. In fact, mechanically, the normal penis in-and-out thrusting is the most inefficient way to bring women to orgasm. This is because penis penetration brings little to no stimulation to sensitive clitoris and g spot, which hold the keys to female orgasm.
Coital Alignment Technique was designed by researchers who studied the required stimulation for female to reach orgasm (in addition to essential emotional attachment). After surveying a large number of females, the researchers came to the conclusion that clitoris stimulation is the most effective to bring female to orgasm. Such orgasm is better known as "clitoral orgasm".
Coital Alignment Technique has been designed by making minimal change to the traditional missionary sexual position (guy on top). To maximize stimulation to the clitoris, a man align and rub the base of his penis and pubic bone to the female clitoris with the aim to maximize stimulation to the clitoris.
This can be done with with changing the normal penetration movement from horizontal to vertical. Instead of thrusting in and out with push and pull motion, up and down rocking is used. When the man lift his hip or body, the base of his penis will be in the position to rub against the clitoris (see picture below). On the other hand, when the man sink his body, his pubic bone will come into contact with the clitoris. As a result, the up and down rocking movement will constantly stimulate the clitoris and effectively help women to reach orgasm quickly.
The rocking up and down motion may seems a bit awkward when first practiced but it is easy to do once you get the right pace and rhythm that suite you. Female partner can also participate to magnify the stimulation.
Coital alignment technique is a proven way to bring female to clitoral orgasm. However, some argue that clitoral orgasm is not as profound as Virginal Orgasm. Studies have shown that virginal orgasm requires G-spot stimulation as opposed to clitoris stimulation in coital alignment technique. We have produced a Live Demo Video on G-spot stimulation. Due to the graphic nature of video, it is only available through our Private Mailing List.
Try out and compare the Coital Alignment Technique and G-spot stimulation for yourself! You will know which one is more enjoyable.
Modified Coital Alignment Technique
Many couples dislike Coital Alignment Technique (CAT, also known as Coital Adjusted Technique) because they found the up-down rocking rhythm awkward and counter intuitive. Modified Coital Alignment Technique provides a solution to this problem by allowing in-out thrusting through a slight change to the CAT position.
In this sexual position, a man penetrate a woman from top as in the traditional missionary position. When he is inside her, the woman brings her legs together between the man's legs. This act will also tighten the vagina and provide strong sensation to the penis. Through in-out thrusting motion, the shaft of the penis will hit and glide on the clitoris to provide the essential clitoral stimulation required for female orgasm. In order to maximize contact and pressure to the clitoris, the man should also shift his body forward slightly before starting the thrusting motion.
Modified Coital Alignment Technique
The main difference between the Modified Coital Alignment Technique and the ordinary CAT position is the motion of penetration. While the ordinary CAT position prohibits in-out thrusting motion, the Modified CAT does not have this restriction. Therefore, it is more natural for many men who are used to in-out thrusting motion during sex.
Both Modified CAT and the ordinary CAT position are equally effective in stimulating the clitoris to accelerate female orgasm. It is best to try out both positions to explore your personal preference. A better alternative is to use both by switching position during your sexual intercourse. You can start off with oral sex or fingering as warm up, and then the ordinary CAT position and finish off with the Modified Coital Alignment Technique. Feel free to mix and match to your liking.

Sonuus Wahoo Analog Dual-Filter/Wah PedalThe Wahoo™ is a dual analogue filter stomp box where each filter can be configured as low-pass or band-pass and operate independently in wah pedal, envelope, LFO, and pitch-tracking modes. The warm-sounding fully analogue signal path is digitally controlled for precision, configurability and adaptability. Whether you want to recreate the character of vintage wah/filter pedals or break new sonic barriers, the Wahoo can do it for you.Warm Organic ToneBy using an analogue filter topology based on vintage synthesizer filters, the Wahoo generates a warm tone with an organic feel. Something that's not possible using digital effects.A DRIVE control lets you gently overdrive the filters to increase the warmth or crank it up to get fuzz-wah tones.InnovatePacked with innovations, the Wahoo lets you invent new sounds.Unique patent-pending pedal sensor for super-fine precision control that will never wear out.Transparent-True-Bypass giving all the benefits of true-bypass without the switching noise.Dual-filter design allows enhanced sonic possibilities that have more depth and are more vocal- sounding than most other filter pedals.Sonuus pitch-tracking technology provides novel pitch-tracking filter effects.Response curves let you tailor the feel of the filter response.ReplicateThe filters have a wide frequency range of 10 Hz – 4 kHz, and wide resonance range from flat to self-oscillation. Moreover, resonance is not fixed, but can be varied dynamically so it can track the cutoff frequency to further expand your creative possibilities. Combining this with drive, response curves and variable envelope filter attack/decay allows you to replicate the sonic character of many vintage and modern wah/filter pedals.CreateIt's simple to tweak settings on the carefully designed control panel. Once you have created what you want, you can save it to one of 100 internal presets.PerformAs well as being ideal at home or in the studio, Wahoo has special features that make it perfect on stage. The sturdy, lightweight aluminium chassis, paired with modern robust electronic design ensures that the Wahoo will stand up to the demands of the toughest gigs. The large bright display is readable outdoors but can also be dimmed when required in low-light environments.A lock switch ensures that settings cannot be changed accidentally in the heat of a performance, but still allows you to select which preset to use. Foot-operated selection of presets lets you access what you need with minimum hassle.Powered by 9VDC, 4xAA batteries or USB, and with modern-yet-retro styling you can be sure Wahoo™ will fit into your rig.Unique Patent-Pending Pedal SensorMost wah pedals operate using a potentiometer (a pot) which wears out quickly resulting in the effect becoming scratchy. These also have mechanical couplings which limit fine control and let dirt inside the unit, so compromising reliability.Some other wah pedals use optical methods which are susceptible to dirt, and these also have mechanical couplings.For the Wahoo, we designed a brand new type of position sensor that allows super-fine precision control with no mechanical couplings. As a result, the pedal control on the Wahoo won't get scratchy and will never wear out!Transparent-True-BypassTrue-bypass means that the effect is completely switched out of your signal chain when bypassed to preserve the integrity of your guitar/bass signal. This is typically done by mechanical switches but these cause clicks or pops when switching.For the Wahoo, we designed a silent-switching true-bypass circuit so you get the benefits of true-bypass without the associated switching noise. What's more: if the power to Wahoo is interrupted, the unit will automatically switch back to the bypassed state so you don't lose your signal.Computer ConnectionA USB connection lets you connect Wahoo to a computer where the Desktop Editor Software allows deeper preset editing and manipulation. USB-MIDI can be used to sync internal LFOs and to automate the filter parameters. You can also configure the expression pedal and control panel to send MIDI controller messages to drive software instruments and effects.Future-Proof (Upgradeable Firmware)To support new features and to make it futureproof, the firmware (internal software) of the Wahoo can be upgraded. This means you can invest with confidence in the Wahoo

I apologize for the late post, homework managed to catch up with me, but here's some of the stuff I've been up to the past two weeks~
Midterms for me actually wasn't too bad. The ear training midterm was rough, but the rest turned out ok. Paideia wasn't too terrible as long as you read the material. My friends and I also decided to get Pokémon X and Y (yes, I'm a huge nerd) so that ended up being a great social pastime over the week when we weren't doing homework.
Over break itself I ended up going back to my home and seeing some of my old friends. Many of them were extremely delighted to see me, so it was a wonderful experience! There was a whole new feeling being there as a college student instead of just another high school student. Luckily one of my friends is actually thinking of coming to Luther! I also spent time trying to memorize a couple scripts, one for Acting class (which isn't too bad) and one for the student led organization SPIN theater, which is a little bit harder.
Other than that, my friends and I ended up going to a haunted corn maze which was a ton of fun, despite the fact we got terribly lost! After it was done we all got to relax around a campfire while eating food and collecting free pumpkins. I highly recommend going to as many of these kinds of activities as possible up here, as they are a great way of getting to know new people and having a fun evening.
I suppose it's that point in the evening where other things are calling my attention. As always, leave any questions you may have and I'll answer them to the best of my ability! And Happy Halloween!
Sing Well,

For Consumers
Prescription drug information for patients
Please note that product labeling has been changed for AGENERASE (amprenavir) Capsules and AGENERASE (amprenavir) Oral Solution to reflect new precautions related to use of Agenerase with Methadone, and with oral (hormonal) contraceptives.
Methadone: Coadministration of amprenavir and methadone can decrease plasma levels of methadone. AGENERASE may be less effective due to decreased amprenavir plasma concentrations in patients taking these agents together. Alternative antiretroviral therapy should be considered. Dosage of methadone may need to be increased when coadministered with AGENERASE.
Oral contraceptives: (Ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) Those taking AGENERASE should be instructed not to use hormonal contraceptives because some birth control pills (those containing ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) have been found to decrease the concentration of amprenavir. This may lead to loss of virologic response and possible resistance to AGENERASE. Alternative methods of non-hormonal contraception are recommended.

EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Breslin Center careers of the three Michigan State women's basketball seniors ended on Sunday with a 54-48 victory over Wisconsin. The Spartans, 22-7 overall, finished the Big Ten season at 10-6, in a tie for third place, and will enter the Big Ten Tournament with a first-round bye as the No. 4 seed.
After the game, the three seniors - Tracy Nogle, Courtney Schiffauer and Jasmine Thomas - were honored on the court, recognizing their tremendous careers.
Thomas led the Spartans with 14 points, nine rebounds and three steals in her home finale. Sophomore Kiana Johnson added 10 points and a team-high five assists.
Michigan State never trailed and jumped out to an early 8-2 lead in the first four minutes. The lead grew to 10 on two occasions, before going into the break up 30-23. The Spartans started the second half with a 10-3 run over the first four minutes to go ahead 40-26.Wisconsin answered with eight unanswered points over the next six minutes to get within six. The closest the Badgers would get would be three with 3:20 to go, but the Spartans held them to one point over the final span for the 54-48 final.
The Spartans will play the winner of Michigan and Indiana on Friday night at approximately 9:25 p.m. ET in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament.

Heres another Alacrity, took forever. The character is for a commission. The design is off the top of my dome. The clothing anyway. The character descrption was, very fit, abs MUST BE SHOWING, althetic blonde, small breast, sexy, but super cute. Very hard, but very fun.

Very very nice, I'll start with my few complaints because they are rather trifling and more of personal preference than real critique. The perspective, while incredible and dynamic, does seem a little wonky and makes her right leg look veeerry long. Also, her ribs/abs area seems just a bit overly muscular, but like I said that's just a personal opinion and not critique.
I love the colors and shading, love the quality of the line art, it makes me feel like this was beautiful even just as a sketch. Your light source also looks really good, which is something that I seem to have a tough time with. I also, like others here, really like the pose and the perspective. She looks tough, sexy, spry, and she has lovely little tits. (Thanks for avoiding the "tried and true" huge boobs on an athletic character formula. While it can look nice, this is much more convincing and appealing.)
Anyway, it's excellent and do keep up the good work. :)

When i seen the tumbnail i was thinking about Bastion for some reason XD anyways pretty awesome pose and i like the armor she is wearing very kool.
Hahah, i saw the intro to Bastion, it looks SOOOOO cool and fun. And you know what's funny? Someone said the SAME THING!! I designed her way before Bastion came out, but it could be the red scarf. Thanks DragonxForce.. Haha Dragon force, one of my fav. Saturn games. If thats what you meant.
