The NBA draft lottery was set Tuesday, and Aaron Gordon is projected just outside of the top five, and could be selected within the top 10. Gordon, along with other top projected lottery picks, was in attendance in New York City.
The Pac-12 Conference freshman of the year decided to forego his final three years of eligibility and enter the June 26 draft.
Gordon's stock rose when his level of played increased significantly in the later stages of the season. All signs pointed to the young forward being a lottery pick.
With the order set, here are some possibilities for Gordon's draft position. Keep in mind that the San Jose native's stock is not cemented like the other early prospects, so the possibility of dropping farther is not unlikely.
Boston Celtics, sixth pick
The Celtics are in a complete rebuild from their Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen days. They are looking to add another solid piece to complement All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo. Gordon is a high-octane player with jaw-dropping athletic ability. Boston already has Jeff Green on the perimeter, but the fascinating part about Gordon's game is his versatility. He can play the power forward position, if needed.
Los Angeles Lakers, seventh pick
The Lakers are on the verge of a complete overhaul. Steve Nash is on the tail end of his historic career, and Kobe Bryant, coming off a string of injuries, is not the player he once was. The Lakers are in an interesting situation because Bryant, Nash and Robert Sacre are the only players under contract for next season. This leaves the Lakers in a "pick the best player available" situation. If Gordon is still on the board, he could fit the mold. On top of his athleticism, Gordon also is an exceptional rebounder on both ends of the floor.
Sacramento Kings, eighth pick
The Sacramento Kings lack a defensive identity, and that is where Gordon comes in. If they were to select Gordon, they would be drafting an astute defender who can guard multiple positions and can alter opponents' shots.
Charlotte Hornets, ninth pick
Gordon's motor would fit into the Hornets' system. They lack end-to-end hustle players, and Gordon would provide his relentless efforts every minute he is on the court. Last season, the Hornets' defense ranked fourth in the league, and Gordon is someone head coach Steve Clifford could incorporate into a defense-first system.
Philadelphia 76ers, 10th pick
The 76ers are one team Gordon might not have a place. They have the third pick, which could put them out of the running for Gordon, and already have a hybrid, athletic forward in Thaddeus Young. Gordon does not have Young's frame, but they are both comparable in regards to length, wingspan and attention-grabbing athletic ability.
Denver Nuggets, 11th pick
Like the 76ers, the Nuggets are set at the forward position and would likely create a logjam at the forward spot by drafting Gordon. Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Anthony Randolph and Kenneth Faried are Denver's mainstays. Actually, Faired and Gordon are similar in playing style, creating a bigger gap between the Mile High City and Gordon.

Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server' reported error (0x8004010F): 'The operation failed. An object could not be found.'
Maa Please Help Me on this
All replies
The error is very common for OL but not OLEX, it's related to OAB issue in most time.
Please identify the following info for better troubleshooting:
1. OLEX client's version, client pc's OS version
2. Was OL client also installed on client pc?
3. Which troubleshooting steps did you attempt? so I can avoid to give those solutions which you'd already tried
Basic troubleshooting:
1. try to set up OL for testing
2. Also focus to diagnose your OAB as it's the most common cause.
Notes: the link is the help guide about OAB issue on ex2k7 environment.
I saw this post when attempting to add mine. My issue is the same error message but this only happens to 2 PC out of 50 running MS Outlook.
"! Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server reported error (0x8004010f): 'The operation failed. An object could not be found.'"
I have tried running the command and the other statements at the post below. I'm not sure what else to do. These customers can send and receive fine but they get this error message every time and are really starting to get upset.
I will still recommend you what James suggested
But be more specific please describe your environment little bit more, like how many exchange server, do you have legacy exchange server? do you have outlook 2003 or 2007 clients?, do you have public folder etc.
To give me a quick workaround, lets create a new OAB and assign that to a mailbox store where we can test.
and i would suggest you to check this blog also.

Here is the fix:
Exchange Server 2007
- In Exchange Management Console, expand Server Configuration, and then click Mailbox.
- In the Database Management window, right-click Properties on the mailbox store.
- Click the Client Settings tab, click Browse, and then click the appropriate offline address book.
- Click OK two times.
Exchange Server 2010

- In the Database Management window, right-click Properties on the mailbox store.
- Click the Client Settings tab, click Browse, and then click the appropriate offline address book.
- Click OK two times.
- Proposed as answer by NetMum Tuesday, May 22, 2012 4:48 PM
In my case.
DNS for remote.mydomain.com was not configured externally. So the OAB couldn't be downloaded.
Fix for me was to edit the host file. "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host."
Open that file with notepad. At the bottom of the file type:
192.168.1.2 remote.mydomain.com
Then save.
Note: 192.168.1.2 was the address of the exchange server.
This means that when the computer references remote.mydomain.com it redirects to 192.168.1.2
Should work instantly without a reboot.
Note: this is a temporary fix until I sort out the dns with my domain provider.

Roberts Seeks Middle Ground
Thursday, December 1, 2005
It's the middle of the night in New Hampshire, and a teenager, afraid to tell her parents she is pregnant, appears at an emergency room. A doctor diagnoses a spike in blood pressure that won't kill the girl but could render her sterile unless she has an immediate abortion. The doctor calls a judge for permission to perform the procedure, as state law prescribes -- and voice mail answers.
"What's supposed to happen?" asked Justice Stephen G. Breyer, who posed the hypothetical situation during oral arguments at the Supreme Court yesterday.
The dilemma, probably rare but undeniably dramatic, defines the most significant case on abortion rights to reach the court in half a decade. The basic right to abortion, recognized by the court 32 years ago in Roe v. Wade , is not at stake, but the scope of the right may be.
The New Hampshire parental notification law, passed in 2003, requires minors to tell a parent before they can get an abortion, unless a judge grants a "bypass." The only stated exception is for girls who would die without an abortion. A Boston-based federal appeals court ruled that the lack of an express health exception made the entire statute too restrictive and declared it unconstitutional.
New Hampshire appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that the court's past abortion rights decisions do not require a health exception. A broad decision in the state's favor could clear the way for other states to enact similar statutes, and bolster the Bush administration's legal argument for the federal ban on the late-term procedure called "partial birth" abortion by opponents. The administration backs New Hampshire in the case, Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England , No. 04-1144.
But at yesterday's argument, the justices appeared to be probing instead for a compromise solution, one that might give New Hampshire a chance to preserve its law for the vast majority of cases, while giving physicians and teenage patients a way out of the problem Breyer's question summarized.
Leading the search for a middle ground was the court's newest member, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who repeatedly suggested that the court could send the case back to lower courts for a narrower challenge to the law as it applies to emergencies such as the one Breyer outlined.
"Presumably the litigation would be very similar to what we've seen in this case," he told a lawyer representing Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, "but it would be focused on the provision that is causing you concern, rather than the statute as a whole."
The lawyer, Jennifer Dalven of the American Civil Liberties Union, urged the court to uphold the appeals court's invalidation of the entire New Hampshire law and leave it to the state legislature to make any changes.
"If this court rewrites it," she said, "it will give a green light to legislatures around the country to pass broad restrictions, and leave it to women and doctors to go to court and be the sole defenders of the right."
Most states have parental involvement laws relating to abortion, but New Hampshire is one of only five that does not include a health exception.
In answer to Breyer's question, New Hampshire attorney general Kelly A. Ayotte said that doctors confronted with a midnight emergency could proceed, protected by other provisions of New Hampshire law that shield doctors' good-faith medical decisions from liability.

Nos. 89-15553, 89-15991.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted May 15, 1990.
Decided May 29, 1990.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada; Bruce R. Thompson, District Judge, Presiding.
Before TANG, WILLIAM A. NORRIS and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.
Appellants Golden Road Motor Inn, Inc. ("Golden Road") and Farahi Investment Co. ("Farahi") alleged that the City of Reno, the City Council, several of its individual members, and the Gaming Industry Association of Nevada, Inc. ("Gaming Industry") violated appellants' rights to due process and equal protection, as secured by 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983, as well as Secs. 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, when there was a 42-day delay before their zoning request was granted. Appellants now argue in consolidated actions that the district court erred when it granted appellees' motions to dismiss and for attorney's fees.
* Appellants asserted three causes of action against various defendants, which the district court dismissed for failure to state a claim, and which we now review de novo. In the first cause of action, appellants claimed that the City, the Council, and the Council's individual members violated their constitutional rights to due process and equal protection, as secured by 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983, when they delayed their consideration of appellants' request for a special use permit that would allow appellants' 143-room motel to be placed in the same zoning category as a 301-room hotel for the purpose of expanding their gaming operations.1
Appellants claim, in a very convoluted brief, that they have a "property right" not only to the zoning designation but also to an immediate decision by the Council. They argue that the Council's power to grant a special use permit was "ministerial" rather than "discretionary" and that they had a right to present evidence in support of their application without any delay.
The district court held that appellants failed to establish any property right, and we agree. See Excerpt of Record ("E.R.") at 3 (Order Dismissing Complaint). Property rights do not arise from "an abstract need or desire for" or a "unilateral expectation of" a benefit. Board of Regents v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564, 577 (1972). In Nevada, use of property for gaming is a privilege not a right, see NRS 463.0129(2) ("Any license issued ... is a revocable privilege, and no holder acquires any vested right therein or thereunder."), and municipalities have long had discretion to regulate or suppress gaming. See State v. Rosenthal, 93 Nev. 36, 559 P.2d 830 (1977). Where the issuing authority has discretion to grant or deny license applications in a closely regulated field, applicants cannot claim a property right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. See Erdelyi v. O'Brien, 680 F.2d 61, 63 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam). Nor does mere delay constitute a denial of due process. See also Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527, 543-44 (1981). Appellants cannot succeed in their claim of a violation of Sec. 1983 where they have failed to establish a right protected by the Constitution.
In their second cause of action, appellants claim that they were denied their right to equal protection; however, this claim is also without merit. Appellants have failed to establish that they were treated differently than any other applicant similarly situated or that the zoning classifications do not bear a rational relationship to a permissible government objective. Here, the ordinance in dispute limits gaming to hotels of 301 or more rooms for the express purpose of "provid[ing] for the mitigation of the impacts of the hotel-casino development and encourag[ing] higher quality destination resorts which will increase tourism." RMC Sec. 18.06.265. The purpose of the ordinance is rationally related to a legitimate government objective.
Appellants' third cause of action deserves even less attention than the other two. Appellants asserted that the city, the Council, and the Gaming Association unlawfully conspired to constrain trade, in violation of the Sherman Act. 15 U.S.C. Secs. 1 and 2. Appellants failed to show the elements required to establish a prima facie case of violations under Secs. 1 and 2. See McGlinchy v. Shell Chemical Co., 845 F.2d 802, 811 (9th Cir.1988). They cite no facts which establish the material elements necessary to sustain a claim for violations of Secs. 1 and 2. See E.R. at 2 (Complaint). Even if appellants had managed to establish antitrust violations, they would still have had to overcome the Gaming Association's antitrust immunity under the Noerr-Pennington doctrine, see United Mine Workers v. Pennington, 381 U.S. 657, 670 (1965); Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference v. Noerr Motor Freight, Inc., 365 U.S. 127, 136-37 (1961); Boone v. Redevelopment Agency, 841 F.2d 886 (9th Cir.1988), cert. denied, 109 S.Ct. 489 (1988), and the municipality's antitrust immunity as a governmental actor. See Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference, 365 U.S. at 136.
The Gaming Industry sought attorney's fees of $11,231.83 pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 11 and the other appellees sought attorney's fees of $10,100 pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1988. The district court granted both motions. We review for abuse of discretion, and affirm.
Appellants argue that the complaint was not "frivolous" and that even if any one cause of action was frivolous the entire pleading was not. Although appellants contest the award of attorney's fees, they do not appear to challenge the amount.
The district court found the complaint to be "patently frivolous both factually and legally at the time Mr. Mollath signed the complaint in violation of Fed.R.Civ.P. Rule [sic] 11." E.R. at 4 (Order Granting Attorney Fees). The district court included appellants' counsel in the Rule 11 sanction, even though appellee Gaming Industry had only moved for sanctions against appellants, on the grounds that "counsel knew the facts intimately" and that he had "initiated this action in bad faith to harass the defendants." Id.2 According to the district court, "[t]his case is an excellent example of the abuse of the judicial process in this litigious society. These plaintiffs, in a nutshell, are complaining about a 43-day delay before the Reno City Council granted them everything they asked for." E.R. at 3.
Appellants provided no factual or legal basis for their claims. The district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that appellants' complaint was frivolous and unfounded at the time of filing and in awarding attorney's fees pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 113 and 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1988.
For the reasons stated above, the judgments of the district court are
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a) and Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3
RMC Sec. 4.24.260 (Exception for hotels with more than three hundred rooms) and RMC Sec. 18.06.625 (HC Hotel Casino) have the effect of limiting gaming to hotels with 301 rooms or more
After appellants' counsel was sanctioned, he failed to raise the issues of notice and hearing before the district court, see E.R. at 1; Appellee Gaming Industry's Brief at 15, and therefore, we will not consider these issues on appeal
Because we hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorney's fees to Gaming Industry pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 11, we need not address the question raised by the district court of whether it also had authority to grant attorney's fees pursuant to its inherent power or 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1927

O'Loughlin, the firm's senior director of operations and facilities emergency management, said the award serves as recognition of Fenwick & West's innovative approach to greening its year-old, 3,500-square-foot data center.
"It just gives us another validation," she said, adding that the firm has seen a 74 percent overall reduction in energy consumption.
The on-site data center was constructed inside an existing leased building at 801 California St., home of Fenwick & West's offices. The firm recently received LEED platinum certification for its innovative data center from the U.S. Green Building Council, according to Director of Information Technology Kevin Moore.
The data center took eight months to design and construct. It features several customized systems, including a custom-built HVAC unit designed to minimize the center's carbon footprint and a custom-designed chiller. In addition, the center uses a high-efficiency uninterruptible power system with static bypass and an intelligent light control system with "follow-me" lights to reduce energy consumption, among other features.
O'Loughlin said the center's innovative custom-built systems made the process of attaining LEED platinum certification particularly challenging, "because some of the technology we use is so unique that there was no way to really benchmark it."
She noted that the center's construction included repurposing several existing materials, such as the space's ductwork and doors. The center's flooring was remade from recycled materials, she added.
"We really looked at every piece of material and thought, 'Does this have a purpose?'" she said.
In addition to its data center, Fenwick & West has implemented other green initiatives. They include a rideshare program that boasts a 60 percent employee participation rate, the installation of six on-site electric-vehicle charging stations, enlarging its employee bike storage area and subsidizing Caltrain tickets for its employees.

Three employees of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were taken to the hospital as a precaution following an anthrax scare Wednesday morning.
A package with a note saying it contained the anthrax virus was discovered in the mail room in the Church Office Building about 10 a.m., according to LDS Church spokesman Dale K. Bills."The package and wording were similar to other packages distributed around the Salt Lake Valley in the last couple of weeks," Bills said. "The presumption is that, like those, this is also a hoax. Still, every precaution must be taken."
A possibly similar package was left last Wednesday at Planned Parenthood, 654 S. 900 East. But officials were not able by press time to confirm the wording on the note left in the Church Office Building, or whether it was also postmarked from Lexington, Ky., as was the one last week.
The letter was taken by the FBI to a lab at the University of Utah to determine whether trace chemicals are indeed present and if it's similar to other threats that have been mailed.
Church staff followed their standard emergency procedures when the note was found and notified the appropriate public safety and health officials. The mail room on the first lower level was "isolated and secured." While a cafeteria, lounge area, office supply store and distribution center located on the same floor were also evacuated, staffers in the rest of the building were allowed to remain "because the agent was deemed to be localizable," Bills said.
"There's no danger of wide dispersion and there has been no significant disruption to the church operations -- except to the mail room," he said. The first lower level was expected to be closed for several hours.
Officials set up a decontamination tent and treated the three employees -- two women and a man -- for possible exposure. They were then loaded in ambulances and taken to University Hosital for follow-up tests and care, if it's needed.
Similar threats are popping up almost daily around the nation, according to the Associated Press, which said the FBI is investigating each incident in the hope that federal prosecution of the culprits will halt the disruptive hoaxes.
The fake threats "have gotten publicity and scare the normal citizen. They create a fear factor," Neil J. Gallagher, FBI assistant director in charge of the national security division, said Tuesday. "They disrupt American life."
So far, all the anthrax threats have been hoaxes, but the bureau must respond seriously to every one.
"My personal fear is that someday there will be a real anthrax threat, and American society will react by saying, 'There's another hoax,' " Gallagher said.
The letters have arrived in almost every region -- often at 10 or 15 similar targets in a city. The targets have varied widely: abortion clinics, Catholic schools, nightclubs, department stores, hospitals, post offices, courthouses, news media offices, FBI offices and even the Old Executive Office Building beside the White House.
"Not a day goes by without us hearing from somewhere in the United States about an anthrax threat," Gallagher said.
"Anthrax threats have become what bomb threats once were or product tampering threats in the 1980s" after the Tylenol poisoning in Illinois, said FBI spokesman Bill Carter.

Matters are complicated by outrageous customers who seem to do bizarre things to get their five minutes of TV fame.
The other show is "Pawn Stars," which airs multiple 30-minute episodes during primetime Thursday nights on the History Channel. It's based on the Harrison family's business, Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, which is on the outskirts of Las Vegas, and run by Rick Harrison, his father Richard "Old Man" Harrison and his son Corey Harrison. Another employee featured heavily is Chumlee Russell, who provides much of the comic relief as he comes up with various ideas to bond with the family. This show is very interesting as people bring in historical and vintage items to sell.
"Pawn Stars" branched out recently with a new show, "Pawnography," at 10 and 10:30 p.m. Thursday nights on the History Channel. Rick, Corey and Chumlee put up various items of value from the pawn shop that contestants vie for — against the three guys, who want to keep the stuff to sell in the shop. The contestant with the most money at the end of the trivia round goes up against trivia master Rick Harrison for the whole shebang of merchandise offered that night. Both answer questions without being told how many they got right. The one with the most answers correct wins the merchandise, but the two must barter first. Rick wants to keep his stuff so he'll offer a cash amount for the contestant to walk away because he is very confident he scored higher than the contestant. The contestant then can accept the deal or challenge Rick if he thinks he got the most answers correct.
Here are a few questions about pawn shops.
1. What is featured in the symbol representing pawn shops?
2. How long have pawn shops been in existence?
3. Pawn is derived from the Latin word pignus, meaning what?
Answers: 1. Three gold balls suspended from a bar. 2. More than 3,000 years. 3. Pledge.

Deepika Padukone recently entered the highest paid actresses in Hollywood according to the Forbes list of highest paid actresses of 2016. Deepika Padukone is the only Indian and the only newcomer in the list. Deepika's total earning is estimated to be a whooping 10 million U.S. dollars. Deepika debuts as the female lead in the Hollywood movie XXX, Return of Xander Cage with Hollywood Superstar, Vin Diesel. A popular U.S. fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar however goofed up big time, by misspelling the name of the International icon. They wrote Deepika's name as Peedika Padukone by exchanging the P and D. This looks like a typographical error but a grave one indeed! Earlier the Telegraph had misspelt Salman Khan's name but got away easily as his fans did not spot it. Now, Deepika's fans are furious and lashing out at the magazine on social media platforms!
Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra fans are upset that Priyanka Chopra's name did not feature in the Forbes's list. Priyanka has been doing well by playing the lead in Quantico and will also be seen in Dwayne Johnson's Baywatch movie. PC fans have resorted to insulting Deepika by trending mean tweets on 'Peedika Padukone.' Check these out!

Coming Soon: AC/DC Wine
No, you weren't mistaken. AC/DC will be releasing a series of custom wines in their home country of Australia. This does seems like odd pairing, we always thought AC/DC was more of the custom beer type of band.
The band will play off some of their popular song titles with the wines, releasing "Back in Black Shiraz", "Highway to Hell CabernetSauvignon", "Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc" and "You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato."
While we are excited about the new beverages, it is puzzling for two reasons. One, in 1980their original lead singer Bon Scott diedafter choking on his own vomit from excessive drinking that night. Second, lead guitarist Angus Young is a known teetotaller, meaning he abstains from alcoholic beverages. He most likely adopted this philosophy after Scott's tragic death. With those two points in mind, it seems a bit odd that AC/DC is sponsoring an alcoholic drink. Then again, money talks, and no one knows that better than AC/DC who wrote a song about it:
Either way, AC/DC will be asking fans to "have a drink on me" and enjoy their new series of wines that will surely be a hit with both fans of AC/DC and fans of wine that rocks hard.

Partially freeze the short ribs before you slice to get really thin cuts.
Never have button mushrooms been more delicious than in this veg-packed spicy dip recipe, also ideal as a sandwich spread or finisher for simply prepared vegetables. This recipe is from Palizzi Social Club in Philadelphia, PA.
This spicy-sweet-funky Filipino condiment is delicious on grilled fish, chicken, tacos, sandwiches, grain bowls, noodles, eggs, burgers... pretty much anything you can think of will be improved by a dab or two.
A salad where one of the main ingredients is cheese? Okay yes.
Mushrooms: Not just for vegetarian cooking! These recipes prove it.
We'd want these lamps even if they weren't made of 100% plants.
For when you and hot dogs are on a break. You didn't break up, you're just seeing other people.
Put down that bowl of hot water.
Great with any mushroom you can find (crimini, white button, etc.), but excellent with some morels, porcinis, or chanterelles into the mix.
The origins of this recipe are incredibly simple—leftover rice with hot water, broth, or tea poured over. We started there, then kept going. All of the finishing touches (ginger, furikake, and nori) make this feel less like a snack and more like a balanced dish.
Mashing peas with the back of a spoon just won't cut it. Think potato masher + elbow grease if you want to bring out their natural creaminess.
If you don't want to make the chicken stock from scratch for this congee recipe, simmering some store-bought broth with a few slices of bacon and ginger for 20 minutes or so will give you a huge head-start on flavor.
Angela Dimayuga of Mission Chinese Food likes using whole dried ashwagandha root in this clay pot dinner.
If you have a bit of extra time before cooking, press the block of tofu between several layers of paper towels and top with a plate, followed by a 28-oz. can.
We love homemade vinegar, but, yes, you can use supermarket stuff for this, and it will still be awesome.
A pork cutlet (katsu) is a perfect pairing, but you can substitute chicken instead.
This recipe is going to instruct you to remove the backbone of the fish from inside the cavity—no small task but well worth it.
If you have time, chill the pork belly uncovered for a few hours, which will dry out the meat a bit and make it easier to slice.
Use any leftover herb syrup from this recipe in dressings or marinades.
King's Highway diner in Palm Springs, CA, gave us the recipe for their mushroom chorizo and creamy sauce, and our tacos will never be the same.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"
Don Bauder 7:15 p.m., Sept. 23
(Page 2 of 2)
"Excuse me," I said, realizing too late that my unsettled voice would shatter the serenity of the room. I craned my neck to find our torturer. "What does that mean, 'hip back?'" I didn't intend for it to sound snide. Miss Maleficent glided to my side, placed her hand on my hip, and gently pushed it back. "Hip back," she said softly, her irritated expression barely masked with an encouraging smile. "Now for the other side! Aren't you glad you only have two?" There were murmurs and grumbles and giggles at this. I managed to grunt a mixture of all three.
The blue hair to my right was facing my direction. I'd spoken with her briefly before class had begun. She had just returned from an African safari. She had to be at least 70, and she was thick around the middle. I felt compelled to perform beneath her calm gaze. I held my legs as high as I could, almost as high as hers, and then it happened. A stab of white-hot pain shot up my hamstring and into my gluteus maximus; I instinctively catered to the cramp by dropping my legs and stretching out.
"Small movements; keep them small, " said our instructor, her tsking eyes on me alone.
When class was over, I was exhausted and sore, my jellied legs barely able to make it down the stairs.
"What did you think?" asked Ency, who, I later learned, grew up competing in gymnastics. I didn't know what to say, so I just looked at her and raised my brows in helplessness, an action that proved there was, in fact, a part of my body that didn't hurt. "Don't feel bad," Ency said. "After you've been doing this for 55 years, I'm sure you'll be able to keep up."

Homeland Security working with Office of Inspector General on audit
(Cheyenne, Wyo.) – Governor Matt Mead said the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security is addressing concerns raised in an audit of the agency. Independent audits of state agencies are regularly conducted. The Wyoming Office of Homeland Security (WOHS) works closely with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Both FEMA and WOHS have been working with the Office of Inspector General, which conducted the audit. That audit identified some areas of questionable spending on grants. WOHS is providing additional information to substantiate the grants.
"Since the audit came out in February the Office of Homeland Security has actively engaged in providing additional information to FEMA. We have an obligation to follow all program rules. I have asked Homeland Security to work closely with the Inspector General to provide answers," Governor Mead said. "We are committed to a thorough evaluation."
The audit covered spending in fiscal years 2010-2012 and has nine recommendations to strengthen program management, performance and oversight. The audit notes that three of the recommendations are already resolved and closed. In April, another recommendation was resolved and closed, and the Office of Inspector General acknowledged that WOHS has taken corrective action on three more of the recommendations. WOHS is providing more details about accounting to FEMA to resolve the remaining issues.
Director of WOHS, Guy Cameron, said. "I welcomed this audit so we can improve as an agency. We are working on providing information to the Inspector General to resolve the questions put to us in the audit."
WOHS will report its progress to the Governor and will have a corrective plan in place by August.

OCC's New Residential Mortgage Lending Guidelines
Lending Partnerships with Community-Based Organizations
A Review of the OCC's Recent
Predatory mortgage lending continues to be a problem in many communities. In addition to victimizing would-be homeowners, it creates economic instability by producing high foreclosure rates and undermining community revitalization efforts. Although the OCC has not seen evidence that national banks are engaging in such activities, we have issued regulatory and other guidance to ensure that banks operating in various segments of the mortgage market are aware of their compliance obligations, and to support them in promoting the goal of treating all customers fairly.
The OCC recently adopted Guidelines for Residential Mortgage Lending Standards, comprising appendix C to part 30 of our regulations. These standards, which we refer to as "part 30," became effective in April 2005. They further the goal of ensuring that national banks and their operating subsidiaries are not involved, directly or indirectly, in predatory or abusive residential mortgage lending practices. The guidelines reinforce the substance of earlier guidance in the OCC's 2004 revisions to the real estate lending regulations and advisory letters 2003-2 and 2003-3. The amendments to our regulations preclude lending based predominantly on the realization of the foreclosure or liquidation value of the borrower's collateral without regard to the borrower's ability to repay the loan according to its terms. They also prohibit banks from engaging in unfair and deceptive practices as defined in section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. The advisory letters provide guidance concerning avoidance of abusive lending practices relating to the origination and purchase of mortgage loans and the use of third party lenders.
The new "part 30" guidelines stipulate that national banks should not become involved, directly or indirectly, in residential mortgage lending activities involving abusive, predatory, unfair, or deceptive lending practices, including – but not limited to – the following:
The OCC recognizes that certain loan terms, features, and conditions, while subject to abuse, may represent acceptable risk mitigation measures that benefit customers and are consistent with safety and soundness standards. The part 30 guidelines state that national banks should give careful consideration to the circumstances, including the characteristics of the targeted market and applicable consumer and safety and soundness safeguards, under which the bank will engage directly or indirectly in making residential loans that have the following terms, features, and conditions:
A national bank should exercise great care if it uses these residential loan terms, conditions, and features. A bank's residential mortgage lending activities should include provision of timely, sufficient, and accurate information to consumers with respect to the terms and costs, and the risks and benefits, of the loan products offered.
Reliance on third-party relationships can significantly increase a bank's risk exposure, notably reputation, compliance, and credit risks. Predatory and abusive loans originated through brokers or by third-party lenders raise fundamental safety and soundness issues, and also present a wide range of heightened legal risks for national banks – risks that could subject them to civil liability as well as supervisory action.
The part 30 guidelines and advisory letter 2003-3 stipulate that a national bank should have an effective and comprehensive process for managing the risks associated with third-party relationships. When a bank purchases consumer residential loans or makes them through a mortgage broker or other intermediary, part 30 guidelines require standards and practices to be consistent with those applied by the bank in its direct lending activities and include appropriate measures to mitigate risks, such as the following:
The OCC's decision to issue the part 30 guidelines as part of its safety and soundness framework affords it the necessary flexibility to take the most appropriate course of action if examiners find evidence that abusive practices are occurring. For example, the OCC could notify a bank of its concern and require the bank to submit a plan specifying the steps it will take to ensure compliance with the standards. Having the flexibility to act on a case-by-case basis will help the agency – and the banking community – to protect consumers and promote fair lending practices nationwide.

Women's Tournament 2014: Final Four Schedule and Predictions for NCAA TournamentApril 2, 2014
Unlike the men's NCAA tournament, the women's bracket has featured mostly top-five seeds advancing. Two No. 1 seeds still remain while the other two teams are a No. 2 and 4 seed.
Both Connecticut and Notre Dame come into the Final Four undefeated, but the Irish come in with much more questions than the Huskies.
As for the other two teams in the national semifinals, both No. 2 Stanford and No. 4 Maryland have reached the title game in recent years. The Terrapins won it all in 2006, and the Cardinal made it to the finals in 2008 and 2010 but finished as the runner-up both times.
With a chance for any of the last remaining teams to claim the title after dominant seasons, this year's Final Four has plenty of intrigue. Before the women tip off on Sunday night, here's a look at the full schedule and predictions for the final contests of the season.

No. 1 Notre Dame vs. No. 4 Maryland
So we meet again.
While Notre Dame has been one of the best programs in women's college basketball for several years, the Irish made the switch to the dominant ACC this season.
So, the Irish would take a step back, right? Wrong. Muffet McGraw navigated her team through arguably the toughest conference in the country unscathed and enters the Final Four undefeated.
McGraw's reward? Another matchup with fiery head coach Brenda Frese and the Terrapins for a chance to play for the national championship.
Mechelle Voepel of ESPN.com shares why this matchup is so significant for the two programs:
Going up against an opponent that they nearly lost to during the regular season will be even more difficult for McGraw and the Irish as they'll have to do so without Natalie Achonwa.
The senior captain was enjoying her best season with the program, averaging 14.9 points, a .611 field-goal percentage and 7.7 rebounds before suffering a torn ACL against Baylor in the Elite Eight, according to the Irish's official website.
While she was a huge scoring threat throughout the season, Achonwa's presence will also be missed on the defensive end. Alyssa Thomas, a two-time All-American forward, leads the Terps in points (19.1 per game), rebounds (11.0), assists (4.2) and steals (1.5) this season and was named the ACC Player of the Year for the third time in 2014.
Thomas also finished with 33 points and 13 rebounds against No. 1 Tennessee in the Elite Eight and will look to dominate against a depleted Irish team without Achonwa.
Despite the fact that her team will be without one of its best players on the court, McGraw remained optimistic on her latest tweet:
After the regular-season matchup came down to the wire, expect this one to be extremely similar. But with Achonwa off the court and Thomas being able to flourish without one of Notre Dame's best defenders on the floor, the Terrapins will end the Irish's undefeated season.
Predicted Winner: Maryland
No. 1 Connecticut vs. No. 2 Stanford
So we meet again, part deux.
Two of the top teams in the country year in and year out, UConn and Stanford regularly face off and are also mainstays in the Final Four. Back in 2010, the Cardinal were denied a national championship by the Huskies and have been working to get back ever since.
How commonplace has seeing these two programs meet in the Final Four become? ESPN Stats and Info provides the answer for that question:
As for the competition on the court between the two, this one could come down to a battle in the paint. With both Chiney Ogwumike of Stanford and Breanna Stewart of UConn looking to put their stamp on the game, whichever player comes out on top could lead her team to a win.
While she may be one of the most dominant post players in the women's game, Ogwumike spoke about the effect her teammates have in getting the Cardinal to the Final Four, per Fox News (via The Associated Press):
"I have the utmost faith in my teammates," Ogwumike said. "We've had so many people who just wanted to keep this year going. Sometimes people say you can't win only on heart, but tonight I think we did."
On the other side, the praise for Stewart all season has been hot and heavy. Just a sophomore in 2013-14, the unanimous All-American forward was touted as the "Kevin Durant of the women's game" by Emma Carmichael of Sports Illustrated.
Carmichael explains why Stewart is so unique and shares a quote from Geno Auriemma about UConn's special post player:
Stewart, a 19-year-old sophomore, already has a national championship and a Final Four Most Outstanding Player award. She's 6' 4" with a 7' 1" wingspan, and as Scarlet Knights coach C. Vivian Stringer conceded after the game, "she's just scratching the surface" of her potential. What makes Stewart special isn't difficult to quantify -- she has averaged 19.7 points this season and scored 1,000 in just 63 games, the second fastest to reach that mark in school history.
But there's something else: Stewart is a new prototype for women's hoops. 'I don't know that there's been anybody 6' 4" that can do what she does,' Huskies coach Geno Auriemma says of his second-year star. 'She's the first Durantesque player in the women's game.'
While both Stewart and Ogwumike will battle for position in the paint, another star in Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis could be the difference. With two scoring threats inside for the Huskies, Auriemma will once again have a chance at perfection in the national championship game.
Predicted Winner: Connecticut

SIG P-229 40cal
First of all... Thank you for all of the good advice spead throughout this massive message board! I spent over 8 hours reading post yesterday. Today I registered so that I could add to the on-slaught of questions that you verterans so patiently answer.
I am new to reloading but am very excited about it! Not so much for the cost break (although that is nice!), but more for learning something new. I have reloaded about 1000 rounds for my 45 cal with the assistance of a veteran and the use of his equipment, but now I want to reload for a 40 cal that I just bought. Im having trouble getting the veterans help these days so.... here I am!
I want to load target rounds for my SIG p-229 40cal. Any formulas or advice? I am a brass-picking fiend so I have 3000+ cartriges saved up from various manufactures. I believe that they are all once fired. I bought a used LEE Pro 1000 and converted it for 40cal. I was planning on depriming my brass, hand cleaning the primer pockets, then running it through the rest of the stages on the press. I have the new speer handbook but it gives a number of options for different bullet sizes etc. As I am a newbie, Im not sure about the best choice. I figured I would throw this post out a see if I get any responses. I welcome any and all advice, warnings, and/or comments.
Thanks in advance!

WATCH: NASA's ultra high-definition video of the sun's activity over the past year
NASA has released an ultra high-definition video of activity on the sun from the past year, and you will be mesmerized.
The video — taken in extreme ultraviolet light — was produced by the space agency's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) which has been observing the sun since 2010.
READ MORE: 9 planets? NASA responds to claim another planet lurks in solar system
While we tend to forget that the sun is so active, the movie reminds us that it is constantly bursting with activity. Solar filaments and prominences — material that is held up in the sun's corona — dance high above the sun's surface; magnetic loops flow and ebb; and cooler material sits on the sun, looking like dark oceans.
You can even watch an eclipse: the SDO orbits so that every once in a while Earth crosses in front of it blacking out the sun.
If you'd like to watch the entire six-minute video, you can watch it here on YouTube.

|Officially out on 8 November, you might get it a few days earlier if you pre-order on Amazon.
I'm also overwhelmed that BBC Radio 4 has chosen the book to be Book of the Week for week commencing 17th December. The week before Christmas, there'll be an abridged 15-minute reading from the book each day of the week. For a book that we all hope will make a nice gift, it couldn't be better timing. I'm waiting to hear who will be doing the reading!
I'm lining up more dates when I'll be reading it at various events around the UK. Additional ones will be announced shortly. In Ilkley a couple of weeks ago I debuted an illustrated, scripted hour-long talk about the pub and the book, which seemed to go down very well, and I'm looking forward to polishing and refining this over the next few weeks.
The only problem with the talk is I need it to be 45 minutes long and I got cut off, nowhere near the end, after an hour. This is a common problem for me: I overwrite. My two previous books were 50% too long. The first time I tried to cut words out of Hops & Glory, I actually managed to increase the word count by 5000.
I wasn't nearly as bad with Shakespeare's Local - five opinion columns a month for the last couple of years has taught me to write to length much better, but there were still a few flabby bits. And while this is a book that is based on the principle of pub-style conversational digression, some of these digression, while interesting, were taking us too far away from the main thread for too long.
To whet your appetite for the book, I wanted to post one of those here. The George Inn, the subject of Shakespeare's Local, was for much of its existence within spitting distance of the famous Anchor Brewery, and in my first draft I ended up writing a detailed history of that brewery, most of which has rightly been edited out of the finished book.
My favourite story from this history is about what happened when a murderous authoritarian bastard turned up for a brewery tour and got more than he bargained for from the good people of Southwark. This story is still in the book, but it was originally about twice the length, so in the hopes of whetting your appetite, here's the full length version.
A bit of background: the Anchor brewery, now better known as Barclay Perkins, was so vast and successful that it had become one of the most famous breweries in the world. It was a tourist attraction regularly visited by heads of state - among others...

Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Darfur, Kashmir--in nearly every corner of the world, violence and warfare are raging. It's today's news, but it's nothing new. A projectile point embedded in an ancient skeleton lends credence to the notion that the violence began soon after humans started living together.
Anthropologists and archaeologists have long suspected that social tensions began to arise after the advent of settled life, when hunter-gatherers formed close-knit communities and eventually took up farming. Yet evidence for this hypothesis has been lacking. The best-studied early sedentary peoples, the Natufians--who occupied parts of present-day Israel beginning about 14,500 years ago--were thought by many researchers to have been fairly peaceful.
Now a study of one of the richest collections of Natufian skeletons, from Kebara Cave on Mount Carmel, has turned up fresh evidence of violence among these early settlers. In the July-August issue of the Journal of Human Evolution, archaeologists Fanny Bocquentin of the University of Bordeaux, France, and Ofer Bar-Yosef of Harvard University report finding a small, crescent-shaped stone projectile embedded in a thoracic vertebra of a mature male, as well as skull fractures and other injuries on two other of the 17 Natufians found buried at Kebara. The skeletons, which were excavated in 1931 and are now housed in Harvard's Peabody Museum, had never been exhaustively studied. From the position of the projectile, Bocquentin and Bar-Yosef conclude that the assailant struck at close range, perforating either the left lung or the heart and aorta of the victim.Other experts on the Natufians cautiously welcome the study. "The presence of this embedded projectile illustrates clear evidence for interpersonal conflict," says archaeologist Ian Kuijt of Notre Dame University in Indiana. And Phillip Edwards of La Trobe University in Victoria, Australia, calls the paper "very significant." But both Kuijt and Edwards warn against drawing sweeping conclusions about early warfare from one set of skeletons. "It is entirely possible that these actions were the end result of an act of violence within a family," Kuijt says.

If you already have one of the earlier editions of Sons of Northern Darkness, the added material on the DVD isn't worth the cash to purchase this album twice. The footage of the concert is not professionally produced. The band gave the soundboard technician a handycam. No, I am not kidding. If you want to know what the Immortal show at BB King's in NYC would have been like if you came late and had to stand at the back, watch the DVD. Evidently, the sound technician didn't think the zoom button was "grim" or "necro" enough to bother giving us a look at what was going on onstage. The band is crowded to the edge of the stage by what must be the headlining act's drum kit, and while the sound is OK, the visuals are not good. The cameraman does mix it up a bit by knocking the camera out of focus for about a minute, giving you a look at what it would have been like if you came late and had to stand at the back and then took off your glasses.
There is one hilarious moment on the DVD, however, when Abbath is doing something onstage (that we can't see because the zoom button isn't "kvlt," I guess) between songs, probably switching guitars, and in response to the crowd's shouting, says, in a growly yet somehow friendly voice, "be patient," as if talking to a class of black metal kindergarteners. Clearly he had momentarily forgotten he was at an Immortal show.
There's also what looks like a complete portfolio of the photo shoot for the album cover, many shots from which anyone who has seen the "Top Ten Most Ridiculous Black Metal Photos of all Time" and its companion will already have seen. Once you've seen the whole set, though, you'll realize that the lists are both in dire need of expansion. Do not drink anything while flipping through these, or it will indeed shoot out of your nose with the force of your laughter.

Kai Ryssdal: A Monday in the second week of August often doesn't amount to a hill of beans, economically speaking. Except that it's followed by the Tuesday of the second week in August, and that's when the Federal Reserve usually sits down for one of its regular chats about interest rates. Chairman Ben Bernanke will call the Federal Open Market Committee to order tomorrow morning. They'll be done by two or so Washington time. At which point we'll learn what they think about the American economy and what they're going to do about it.
Alice Rivlin knows Fed meetings from the inside out. She spent three years as the vice chairman of the Fed. She's now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. Dr. Rivlin, good to have you with us.
Alice Rivlin: Glad to be here.
Ryssdal: What's the mind set going to be like tomorrow, when Mr. Bernanke and his colleagues sit down at that long conference table at the Fed building? What are they going to be thinking about?
Rivlin: I think they're going to be thinking several things at once. Their basic projection is that the economy will get better slowly. But recent news has been discouraging, and so, they will certainly be thinking about what do we do if it gets worse?
Ryssdal: Well, what do they do? I mean, they've already cut interest rates, they're buying mortgages right and left.
Rivlin: You got it. They don't have very many options.
Ryssdal: Oh good, I feel much better.
Rivlin: They could buy more mortgages, they could buy more government bonds that would get more easy money out there into the economy. But the portfolio of the Fed has expanded enormously since the beginning of this crisis, and they wish they were thinking about how to sell some of these things off, rather than how to buy more.
Ryssdal: What about inflation? I mean, that's the thing that all of the Fed's critics have been saying, "You know what, you plow all this money into the economy, it's only going to send inflation spiraling." And yet we're not seeing that. Is there a disconnect between reality and what people are thinking they're going to see?
Rivlin: Yes. People aren't thinking very clearly about that. They learned somewhere back in some economics course that inflation is caused by too much money chasing too few goods. But right now, we're not in that situation at all. We could have people spending a lot more before there was any upward pressure on the price level. So fear of inflation is just a silly thing to be afraid of right now.
Ryssdal: Well, let me ask you this then: The policy that you mentioned of the Fed buying up more government debt and more mortgages -- it's known as "quantitative easing," it's also called "printing money" by a lot of people -- if there is no inflation now, what exactly is wrong with that?
Rivlin: It's something we ought to do if nothing else is working. It's what they have been doing at the depth of the crisis, and arguably, it helped. They don't want to do it again, but if they have to -- because the economy is going into a double dip -- they can.
Ryssdal: How constrained is the Fed by the issue of the federal deficit? You know, Congress is butting heads against that one every single day.
Rivlin: One of the reasons the Fed is somewhat reluctant to buy more government bonds is that that looks like feeding future deficits. I don't think that's a real worry, especially the only reason for doing that kind of policy would be that the economy is not recovering and at that moment, you don't worry about the deficit, not the short-term deficit. But one possibility, if the federal government, the Congress, and the president were to set out a strong, long-run deficit control plan -- three to five more years from now -- then it would be easier for the Fed to do what they need to do to stimulate the economy in the short run.
Ryssdal: The thing that everybody's going to jump on tomorrow, after this meeting, Dr. Rivlin, is the statement that the Fed comes out with. They will do a word-by-word comparison with the previous month. What should we look for in tomorrow's statement that's going to let us know what the Fed might intend?
Rivlin: I think they'll make it pretty clear, but they'll also make it pretty clear that they don't know what's coming. They don't know any more than you do, and they will probably stress the slow growth and the uncertainty of the future.
Ryssdal: And it'll say something like "The Fed remains ready to do whatever it takes."
Rivlin: Absolutely. And that's what it should say.
Ryssdal: Alice Rivlin, former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve. Now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Dr. Rivlin, thanks so much for your time.
Rivlin: Enjoyed it.

On some levels in Absolution I use a knife on accident rather than subduing some non-targets, which caused the cops to notice blood on the floor so I had to sneak away as they searched the room before breaking out into dance (this happened in the Shangri-la level of course). I almost got caught and this could've made me have lose points or restart the level since I wouldn't get the challenge done if I just killed all the cops in a firefight.
I think that unless its a level like Escape The Library where there is no target and nobody would actually go there unless they were looking for 47, most levels should have some sort of janitors closet or just a random room where people keep a mop. The mop of course would make it harder for 47 to use his usual tools since he would have to drop the mop now with the lack of magic pockets, making it a little less powerful since having to drop the mop and then throwing a bottle or whatever to distract guards like you normally would wouldn't be able to happen in some cases since the guards would be in a different part of their patrol cycle than they would be if you just went through without a mop.
Just an idea, I'd love to hear what you guys think!
( and yes the only hitman game i've played is absolution, please dont hurt me )

text: RB - D.Williams, J.Stewart WR - Steve Smith, L Nannee, B LaFell TE - Shockey, Olsen Just think of these playmakers before the season began. D.Williams & J.Stewart coming off injuries and avg just over 4 YPC Steve Smith, rumoured to be on trade block and coming off a season where he had less than 600 yards. Nannee & LaFell were just competing for roster spots. Shockey & Olsen both not wanted by their respected teams I know most will say but he had a superb QB in Cam Newton, but just think before season started most thought he was not worthy of the 1st round pick, most considered him not even top 10. Chudzinski has turned this group of playmakers into a TOP 6 offense. The other top 5 teams are GB, NO, NE, DL & SD! This group with a rookie QB, new HC, new OC, coming off a shortened off-season, should not have even been in contention for a top 5 offense. There is no more Chudzinski could have done to put himself in contention for a head coaching position. We have a TOP 6 D. Keep Nolan and hire this guy. Does it make too much sense. He is a Miami guy, who would probably bring in Shula as OC. What else could get you more excited going into next year?

Congress to consider allowing marijuana possession
Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) introduced legislation today to remove criminal penalties for marijuana possession at the federal level. The Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2009 would remove penalties for possession of up to 3.5 ounces of marijuana and the not-for-profit transfer of 1 ounce.
Please take action today to support this important legislation.
Congressman Frank's legislation seeks to bring federal law in line with reality. 99% of all marijuana arrests occur at the state and local level. In practice, federal laws prohibiting marijuana possession act as a deterrent to states that may want a more sensible policy. Congressman Frank's bill would remove that deterrent and push U.S. marijuana policy in the right direction.
The bill's introduction comes amidst unprecedented momentum for reform, but it will still face significant opposition in Congress — so please visit mpp.org/federal-action and take action today!
Do you agree with legalizing small amounts of marijuana for personal possession? Why or why not?
If you agree you can use the links in this blog to email your reps.
Thank God......it's Friday!!!
My fellow soccer mom (and best friend) and I plan to open our town's first hash bar when it finally becomes legal.

text: 2 quick questions Just noticed that the engine temp display dial on my '97 1.6 Sport doesnt work. It used to, but now it just doesnt seem to move until i go over a bump or something, this I guess means its a faulty connection. Is this something I should be worried about, as it could just be connection to display or to the computer. I wouldnt mind changing it after this problem anyway, is it a difficult job or not? Also When i bought the car, the air con didnt work, a bit of banging around let the 'fan' start up. This has since stopped and it gets difficult in the rain in Wales to keep the windows clear. It seems to be heating up the air alright, as if I switch it 'on' to a certain temp the wind flow from driving will be cooled/warmed. Is it easy to whip out the 'fan' and change it, or service it? Want to do this as soon as possible now that im out of uni for summer. Cheers guys Alex

Where is MONTA ELLIS!
"I keep wondering the same thing. Last week they had the 4th worst record in the league, had an 11.9 percent chance of winning the lottery and were in line to land a franchise type player like Derrick Favors or DeMarcus Cousins. This week? They have a 1.7 percent chance of winning the lottery, have the 8th worst record and are in line to draft Cole Aldrich or Greg Monroe. Way to go Jim O'Brien. Rest Danny Granger the rest of the season (if it isn't too late) and give Josh McRoberts lots of minutes. That ought to do it." - Chad Ford on winning meaningless games
Way to go Jim, you may have just put our franchise back another 4+ years.
Injured and over rated.
I like the Addition of Lee, but I would also have liked Bogut, he's having all All Star year on the crappy bucks...
Kidd is a solid but not great choice... Westbrook or Evans someone that would excite would have been a better choice IMO, that's what you get when Stern picks the injury replacments....
Ya Think Ya Used Enough Dynamite there Butch...
Its for the best I mean really why risk further injury for a game that's not important.

Palo Alto, CA, United States, 2006/08/10 - New analysis from Frost & Sullivan Latin America Mobile Content Services Markets, reveals that revenues in this industry totaled $594.2 million in 2005 and estimates to reach $2.61 billion in 2012..
In the first years of the new millennium, the mobile telephony services market in Latin America developed at a very rapid pace. Initially, voice service was the main driver of this market. However, similar to regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia this changed. As mobile telephony developed, mobile data services started gaining importance and began to be considered as the main hope for higher profitability for many mobile operators.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan Latin America Mobile Content Services Markets, reveals that revenues in this industry totaled $594.2 million in 2005 and estimates to reach $2.61 billion in 2012.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users and other industry participants an overview of the latest analysis of the Latin America mobile content services markets, then send an email to Mireya Castilla, Corporate Communications, at mireya.castilla[.]frost.com with your full name, company name, title, telephone number, city, state, country and email. Upon receipt of the above information, an overview will be sent to you by e-mail.
The need to increase subscribers average revenue per user (ARPU) expects to instigate operators efforts in promoting mobile content services in Latin America, explains Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Victor Casiano and Program Leader Alex Zago. The increasing affordability and accessibility of advanced types of handsets also expects to foster the mobile content market.
As voice traffic and revenues reduce over the years, mobile data services expects to be the mobile operators main hope of profitability. Though messaging still forms the major source of mobile data revenues, mobile content services have begun to play a significant role in revenue generation. Therefore, operators expect to increase their efforts in promoting the services, which, together with the increasing affordability of advanced types of handsets, expects to drive the market.
Despite favorable conditions that indicate a very high market growth, mobile subscribers are still unaware of their handsets capabilities and mobile content services availability. The mobile content market is also limited by the fact that not all the mobile handsets are capable of running all mobile content services, especially games and video. Besides, many users still find it difficult to search for the contents they want, especially on wireless application protocol (WAP) portal. These factors tend to diminish the penetration of mobile content services.
Lack of end-user education in terms of mobile content could hinder the widespread uptake of these services, explain Casiano and Zago. In addition, the present revenue share model acts as a restraint for the mobile content services markets, as it affects the business feasibility of small application developers.
In order to overcome the mobile subscribers unawareness of mobile content availability, operators need to educate the end users on the handsets' capabilities and services, and also make their WAP portals user friendly. Besides, increasing piracy of content in the Internet is likely to benefit content producers and developers to invest in mobile content as it is a market with less piracy opportunities. This combined with the aging of the market, which is likely to bring younger users and unexplored segments, is likely to drive the market strongly.
Latin America Mobile Content Services Markets is part of the Communications Services subscription and it evaluates the mobile content markets in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela. This study analyzes the following segments in the mobile content services markets: mobile music, games, images, video, and mobile information. Interviews with the press are available.

Red Bull, the preferred drink of college kids who enjoy partying all night and forgetting everything that happened by the next day, is launching a lifestyle magazine. According to USA Today, The Red Bulletin (get it?) will hit newsstands at the end of this week, with a circulation of 1.2 million.
The plan, says Associate Publisher Raymond Roker, is for the magazine to become as essential as the drink. "For most other brands, the commitment is just to the product. [Red Bulletin's goal] is to have a rich conversation with our audience."
How are they going to reach them? By including the paper inside newspapers, of course. There will be copies available via subscription and some on newsstands, but "the majority" of Red Bulletins will be slipped inside the third Sunday edition of five newspapers.
That sounds like a really good idea. Frat kids love newspapers!

This is a "working" replica of a Myst linking book. It's made out of a copy of the same book Cyan originally scanned as a texture reference.
Inside the book is a full desktop computer, completely self-contained without any external wires or hardware. In the above photo, the embedded screen isn't just showing a still photo or a video: it's running a full copy of realMyst PC edition. Onboard is a copy of all the Myst games. It's fast enough it plays all of them smoothly (even End of Ages at ~30fps). You play the games by touching the touch-screen.
(click to enlarge)
The book in question is Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Volume LIV, Issue 312, December 1876 to May 1877 (roughly an equivalent of antique Reader's Digest)... 135 years old & still in this condition. Finding the book's exact edition is difficult - my research revealed what looks like at least 14 different bindings of the same book.
Unlike Cyan's well-worn copy, this one is almost pristine. The cover has been beautifully restored & the cracked hinge has been repaired. Custom embossing dies were made for the individual MYST letters, then the embossing was filled with 24-carat gold paint.
(Yes I essentially destroyed this book to convert it into a Myst linking book, but I like to think that it's cooler now. At least 20% cooler.)
(click to enlarge)
Inside the book is a full, hand-assembled desktop computer. The space inside is tiny, nearly half the size of a netbook, so I spent a long time sourcing the absolute smallest parts you can buy that met all of my requirements. It's a 3-dimensional electronics version of Tetris - this is what it looks like with both the motherboard & battery removed, plus with everything installed.
Some technical specs:
(click to enlarge)
Also included are some additional props - a blank white page and a blank blue page. These were sourced from additional copies of the exact same book Cyan used as a texture reference, meaning they're as "proper" as you can get. With the book's red interior lining, this makes a complete set of the three page colours used in Myst. They are their original hues & have not been dyed, so the blue is slightly more turquoise & the red is slightly more brown than they appear in the game. You can't be too picky with original 135-year-old paper hues.
(click to enlarge)
"And it was real." - Catherine, realMyst trailer
UPDATE: It turns out that when Cyan went to make their new high-definition 3D re-release of realMyst Masterpiece Edition, their original book texture was too low-resolution and their original prop is in very poor condition. So, they used a scan of my book for the in-game asset of the Myst book and as a basis for the red & blue linking books. I guess this makes this not just a fan-made replica Myst book, but now the actual real Myst book. You can see it in the intro video below, plus my name added to the opening credits.
For more information on its construction, view my presentation video or the presentation's slides.

It's been another long week around here and things started out in a BIG way. By big, we mean Tahiry big, as the photos leaked for her TahiryTV website. People across the net simaltaneously rejoiced and began the countdown 'til she kicks Joe to the curb. Not be outdone, T-Pain unveiled his Big Ass Chain, literally. Jay performed DOA at Summer Jam, as he looked to end another "era" in Hip-Hop. Trackstar continued his RMF Radio movement, while Contra™ played watchdog at The National Spelling Bee.
The Midterm Grades for XXL's Freshman Class of '09 and the response was mixed to say the least. But I think we can all agree we'd like more output from all of them. Drake continues to prove you don't need a list to get your name out, much to the chagrin of many. B.G. & Juvenile are working out their chemistry, hoping that 90's magic will resurface shortly and Mic Legacy gave a new meaning to "Must See TV."
The NBA Finals finally got underway, but Hockey & Soccer got their fair share of coverage as well. Shoot, Lil' Dez might be as entertaining as the Finals & it's always a good time for a bit of Hulkamania. We estactically had an Ecstatic giveaway and tested the water with our Uncharted 2 preview/giveaway. Truthfully, we stayed in the giving mood, rounding up Mos' late night performances for you and reviewing Ecstatic as well. Sadly, we didn't find it as easy to give Guru a passing grade. Mo'Nique and her tambourine player beau spilled the beans on their open marriage, while Hammer almost had to lay the golden hammer down on Kathie Lee. Common got a taste of that Disney money & Jansport's across the world shed a tear.
But Lil' Wayne stole the show again with his project twins, but should we really be surprised when he does songs like this? You mess with "Project Chicks" what else would you get but project twins.
Think about it and while we get ready for another week.

Had 2 vials injected yesterday to my upper cheeks and nasolabial folds.
Injections were not bad; of course it stings to have needles poked into your face, but it was definitely not painful. After one day, my face is a little sore at the injection sites, but again, not painful. I was worried about the swelling, but it is not severe and no one else would notice the slight puffiness.
I think the overall effect of this first treatment will be noticeable more to me than others, but I think it will be worth it.
