SB Nation St. Louis: All Posts by Jason Patt http://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/community_logos/49009/stl-fave.png 2014-08-30T17:01:56-05:00 http://stlouis.sbnation.com/authors/jason-patt/rss 2014-08-30T17:01:56-05:00 2014-08-30T17:01:56-05:00 Team USA vs. Finland: Derrick Rose scores 12 points in blowout victory
Rose bounced back from a subpar performance against Slovenia with an aggressive effort in Team USA's World Cup opener.

Derrick Rose had 12 points, three assists and three steals as Team USA destroyed Erik Murphy and his hapless Finns on the first day of the FIBA Basketball World Cup. Team USA won 114-55, and they outscored Finland 29-2 in the second quarter.

Rose came off the bench once again, and I thought he looked pretty darn good. He was aggressive, made some excellent passes and did this (via @_MarcusD_):

This is mesmerizing and awesome and oh my God please let us see this all the time next season with the Bulls.

Rose got to the line five times, which was a function of how aggressive he was offensively. One of those free throws capped off a slick and-1.

Not everything was perfect, as Rose turned the ball over five times and shot just 3-of-8 from the field. He missed a few more bunnies, which has been a problem this summer and was an issue last season before he got injured. Not finishing well likely has to do with rust, so let's just hope that figures itself out as things go along.

Overall, I was very pleased with Rose's performance. Finland isn't exactly the best competition (good lord Erik Murphy is horrid), but Rose just LOOKED good and was definitely more aggressive than the last game. He was also solid on the defensive end, so that's nice.

PS: Pau Gasol had 33 points and eight rebounds for Spain and I think that's pretty good.

Saturday marks the opening of the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, with Team USA taking on Finland in one of the final games of the day.

The 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup has arrived, with 24 countries meeting in Spain to determine the best on the planet. Like most of the days in the group stage, there are 12 games on the docket Saturday, with Team USA facing Finland in one of the later games.

Team USA may be missing a number of its top players, but they remain the favorite to win gold and shouldn't have much trouble against a far less talented Finnish squad. Team USA is scheduled to tip off at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN.

Host Spain plays in the final game of the day against Iran in the rough-and-tumble Group A. Spain is the top challenger to Team USA for gold, and they should take care of Iran, one of the weaker teams in the group.

France and Brazil, two of the stronger teams in Group A, face off against each other in the marquee game of the day. Both teams are flush with NBA talent, even with Tony Parker and Joakim Noah not suiting up for France. Brazil is loaded with NBA bigs in Nene, Tiago Splitter and Anderson Varejao, which will be a tough test for Les Bleus.

Team USA should have little trouble dispatching Finland in its World Cup opener.

Team USA begins its quest for gold at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup against Finland on Saturday. The game is the first of five in six days during the group stage.

Team USA enters the tournament as the favorite to win it all despite missing a good number of its top players. Even with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and a host of other elite players missing in action, Team USA remains stacked with high-end talent.

Team USA cruised through its four-game exhibition tour, with Anthony Davis and James Harden leading the way. Davis and Harden are the only two players on this roster that also participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics, making them de facto leaders of the team. The 21-year-old Davis was especially dominant during the exhibition slate, averaging 13.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.8 blocks in just over 20 minutes per game.

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3608425/mustreads.css">

A major storyline to keep an eye on for Team USA against Finland and throughout the tournament is the play, and health, of Derrick Rose. Much has been made of Rose's return to the court following a second major knee surgery, and after much fanfare at the outset of Team USA's training camp, the optimism has died down a bit. Rose showed a healthy amount of rust during the exhibition games, and he also missed a game due to soreness.

With Rose still working his way back, Kyrie Irving stepped up and played well during the summer tour to seemingly wrestle the starting point-guard spot away from the 2011 NBA MVP. Irving averaged 10.5 points and 4.2 assists while shooting nearly 64 percent in the four exhibitions.

As for the competition, Finland is participating in this tournament for the first time ever. Finland qualified for the World Cup as a wild card after finishing in ninth place in two straight EuroBaskets. The 2011 EuroBasket was the first one Finland had qualified for since 1995.

The most notable player on the Finnish roster is Erik Murphy, currently of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Murphy has already been on three NBA teams after being drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 2013, and he might not be long for the NBA. Finland has a host of other players who played collegiate hoops in the United States, but none of them were drafted.

The only other draftee on the roster is 26-year-old Petteri Koponen, who was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers at the very end of the first round in 2007 before being immediately traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. Koponen's rights were traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2011, but he still has yet to appear in an NBA game.

Considering the massive talent gap, Team USA shouldn't face too much resistance from this Finnish squad. This should act as a nice tuneup for a tougher game against Turkey the following day.

Game time: 3:30 p.m. ET

Location: Bizkaia Arena, Bilbao, Spain

TV: ESPN

Online: WatchESPN

Kyrie Irving will get the start at point guard for Team USA, but Derrick Rose is feeling good and will also be a major contributor.

Kyrie Irving will start at point guard for Team USA when it plays Finland to open the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup on Saturday, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

Irving didn't begin Team USA's four-game exhibition tour as the starter. That honor belonged to Derrick Rose, who continues to work his way back from a second major knee surgery. But Irving was tabbed to start Team USA's second exhibition game when Rose sat out due to soreness, and the Cleveland Cavaliers star took full advantage of the opportunity.

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3608425/mustreads.css">

Irving had 12 points and five assists in a blowout victory over the Dominican Republic, and even though Rose returned against Puerto Rico in the next game, Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski kept his former college point guard as the starter. Irving continued his stellar play and finished the exhibition slate with averages of 10.5 points and 4.3 assists while shooting nearly 64 percent from the field.

Meanwhile, Rose was solid in his return against Puerto Rico, but he was quiet in the blowout win over Slovenia that wrapped up the summer tour. With Rose clearly still shaking off rust as he works his way back from injury, Coach K rewarded Irving by making him the starter to open the World Cup.

But that doesn't mean Rose won't be a major contributor. The Chicago Bulls star has dispelled any notions that he's unhealthy, and he's looking forward to the grind of group play, which includes five games in six days. That type of schedule could be difficult for a player in Rose's situation, and Team USA's coaching staff is sure to be cautious if there are any signs that he's dealing with significant soreness.

Even with some of the questions surrounding Rose, Coach K has talked about the possibility of alternating Irving and Rose as starters as the tournament goes on, according to Stein. That seems unlikely at this point given Irving's recent strong performances and apparent comfort level in the starting lineup, but if Rose can find his groove, perhaps Team USA decides to try that route.

Even if Rose can't find that rhythm, his health is what's most important for him at this point. And no matter what happens with Rose, Team USA has attractive options at point guard. Stephen Curry can play the position as well, and Coach K has the option to mix and match his backcourt. This experience should be beneficial for these young guards, and they'll hope to use it as a springboard for the NBA season.

Shelly Sterling defended her estranged husband and disgraced former Clippers owner in a recent interview.

Former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has a history of racism, and his racist comments taped by an ex-girlfriend ultimately led to his ouster from the NBA. But even after it appeared this entire situation was wrapped up when Donald's wife Shelly Sterling sold the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, the story refuses to die.

Shelly recently sat down with Linda Deutsch of the Associated Press to discuss the sale to Ballmer. During the interview, Shelly felt the need to defend her estranged husband by saying Donald "doesn't make racist comments":

Shelly said she didn't understand how V. Stiviano, the woman who recorded the racist comments, was able to bait Donald into saying what he did. Shelly thinks what happened was just "unfortunate":

"I think it was very unfortunate that she would have done what she did," Sterling said, adding: "She ruined our lives for our whole family."

Shelly wasn't done defending Donald, saying he has apologized to her for calling her a "pig" in court and that the two are now on better terms:

These days, she said, "We're on better terms. We try not to talk about the case. We have a business together so we have to talk."

Asked about his mental condition, she said, "He's been a little better, a little sweeter and softer. Losing the team he loved was very hard on him," she said. "But I'll always feel it's our team."

That last part can't sit too well with many, as most people don't want Donald associated with the Clippers anymore, in any context. Shelly can call herself "Clippers No. 1 Fan" all she wants, but she certainly won't have many (or any) fans if she continues to defend her disgraced husband.

Team USA is missing a number of its top players, but they remain the favorite to win the tournament.

Even before Team USA began its training camp in advance of the FIBA Basketball World Cup, they knew they were going to be without some top talent for the tournament. LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook all decided to skip the World Cup, while Blake Griffin withdrew due to a back injury and Kevin Love didn't participate because of trade talks.

After the camp started, Paul George suffered a devastating leg injury in a scrimmage and Kevin Durant withdrew shortly afterward. But even with so much elite talent missing from the roster, Team USA is still loaded, and they enter the tournaments as favorites.

With some of the top competition in the World Cup boasting strong frontcourts, Team USA's final cuts didn't include any big men. Anthony Davis and Kenneth Faried were both safe heading into cut-down day, but DeMarcus Cousins, Andre Drummond and Mason Plumlee all made the team over other wing candidates.

How they got here

Team USA qualified for the World Cup by winning gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Team USA's World Cup roster looks much different than the Olympic roster, with Davis and James Harden the only two players to be on both. Team USA played in four exhibition games prior to the World Cup, winning all four handily.

Key players

 <link href="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3608425/mustreads.css" rel="stylesheet">

Anthony Davis: Davis didn't play much in the 2012 Olympics, but he'll play a major role in Spain. The Pelicans big man will be the primary rim protector for Team USA and he should be able to use his immense physical gifts to dominate many opponents on both ends of the floor.

James Harden: Arguably the best pure scorer on the roster, Harden will be counted on to provide buckets. Coach K has also praised Harden's leadership, and the guard's prior Team USA experience should come in handy.

Stephen Curry: Curry is the best shooter on the roster, and although he plays point guard for the Golden State Warriors, he'll be playing off the ball a lot for Team USA.

Kyrie Irving: Irving enters the tournament as the starting point guard after playing well in the exhibitions, although there's a chance he and Derrick Rose alternate as starters.

Kenneth Faried: Faried emerged as the surprise fifth starter for Team USA during training camp, and his energy and rebounding will be key throughout the World Cup.

Derrick Rose: Rose's return to the court after another major injury was a major story throughout camp, and there are still questions about whether he can hold up during the rigorous World Cup schedule. But if he stays healthy, Rose is expected to be a significant contributor and could start some games.

Medal chances

Team USA enters the World Cup as the heavy favorite to repeat as champions. All signs point to a showdown with host country Spain in the final, which would be a rematch of the gold medal game in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. The United States won both of those matchups, but that's when they had LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul on the roster.

It's possible, if not likely, that Team USA won't even be tested until the semifinals of the knockout round, when Lithuania could stand between the Americans and the final. Anything can happen in a single elimination format, but it would be a big surprise if Team USA wasn't playing for gold by the conclusion of the tournament.

The Thunder will get a trade exception by trading Thabeet into cap space.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded Hasheem Thabeet to the Philadelphia 76ers:

ESPN has learned that Oklahoma City is trading Hasheem Thabeet to Philadelphia
 — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 26, 2014

However, the Sixers won't be keeping Thabeet and his $1.25 million non-guaranteed contract around:

Thabeet, I'm told, is likely to be waived immediately by Sixers after completion of trade
 — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 26, 2014

By trading Thabeet into the Sixers' cap space, a $1.25 million trade exception will be created for Oklahoma City. The Thunder will send cash considerations to the Sixers along with Thabeet:

Thunder, I'm told, will send cash considerations to Sixers so Philly will absorb Thabeet's contract. OKC thus creates $1.25 million TPE
 — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 26, 2014

Prior to the deal, Oklahoma City was about $1.4 million below the luxury tax line. That number now stands at nearly $2.7 million and gives the Thunder a bit more breathing room.

The Sixers have until Sept. 1 to waive Thabeet before his deal becomes guaranteed, which is why he'll be waived immediately. Philadelphia is way under the salary floor and could have used Thabeet's contract to get closer to it, but that's not the plan. Instead, it appears the trade was simply for cash.

Thabeet's NBA career has been a huge disappointment. The No. 2 overall pick in 2009, Thabeet has career averages of 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 224 games.

Rose was pretty meh in another blowout victory, but he stayed healthy and that's what really matters at this point.

Team USA played its final exhibition game Tuesday prior to the FIBA Basketball World Cup, and like the other three games, the final score wasn't all that close. Team USA came away with a 101-71 victory over Slovenia, with Anthony Davis putting up 18 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and four steals in 19 minutes.

The other star from Chicago didn't do quite so hot. Derrick Rose had a very quiet game, missing all three of his field-goal attempts, including some bunnies. He did get to the line six times, including four upon his immediate entry to the game in the first quarter, but he made just three of those attempts. He also turned the ball over three times and had just one assist in 20 minutes.

Kyrie Irving got the start over Rose, and he put forth a significantly better performance. Irving had 13 points on 3-of-5 shooting and posted a team-best +39. The Cavs guard was solid throughout Team USA's exhibition slate, and it's hard to say he wasn't more effective than Rose overall. I imagine Irving will get the start against Finland on Saturday in the World Cup opener, but that still might not be permanent.

But we really shouldn't fret about Irving being better than Rose for the time being. The most important thing at this point in time is Rose's health, and as far as we know, he's healthy. The rust is still there, and we know Rose isn't always aggressive in these settings where he's playing with numerous other star players. Hopefully Rose will stay healthy and continue to improve as the World Cup goes on.

December 14, 2012 – Richard Malone of Palmyra recently won $10,000 playing Powerball from the Nebraska Lottery.
There were more than 17,500 Nebraska Lottery winners in the Saturday, November 24th drawings. Among these winners was Malone, who purchased his winning ticket at Casey's General Store, 1001 I Street in Palmyra. The five-play ticket contained one play with four of the five winning white ball numbers (22, 32, 37, 44, 50) and the Powerball number (34) from the November 24 drawing for $10,000.
Four hundred and five Nebraska Lottery players have won the $10,000 Powerball prize to date.
While claiming his prize on November 26, Malone told Nebraska Lottery officials that he was "shocked" to realize that he had won $10,000. He learned he had won after a Facebook friend told him that a winning ticket had been sold at Casey's General Store in Palmyra. Malone plans to remodel his kitchen using his winnings.
The odds of winning $10,000 playing Powerball are 1 in 648,975, and the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 31.8.

The Good That Business Does
There are perhaps more Christians in the field of business than in any other area of endeavor. That this is the case has nothing to do with a special compatibility between Christianity and business, of course; it is simply due to the fact that the broad category of business encompasses so many of the remunerative activities of contemporary life. Business is everywhere. It is only natural that Christians will be active participants.
Yet, as Robert Kennedy notes in this volume, Christian social thought has paid less attention to business than the prevalence of the latter would merit. Christian social thinkers have been especially negligent with respect to articulating the ways in which enterprise contributes to common and private goods: "the good that business does." Professor Kennedy, with experience in the business world and expertise in theology and management, begins to redress this deficiency in this monograph.

Natural Experiments for Translation in Diabetes (NEXT-D) Study
The NEXT-D Study is a 5-year research network designed to test the effectiveness and sustainability of population-targeted diabetes prevention and control policies emerging from health care systems, business and community organizations, and health care legislation. It includes large-scale natural experiments or effectiveness studies and rigorously designed prospective studies of ongoing or imminent diabetes prevention and control interventions. The studies quantify the impact of population-targeted policies on preventive behaviors, quality of care, morbidity, and intended and unintended intervention consequences. In addition, NEXT-D is developing innovative design and evaluation approaches to naturally-occurring population-based interventions.
This project is jointly funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under CDC Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number: RFA- DP10-002, entitled Natural Experiments and Effectiveness Studies to Identify the Best Policy and System-Level Practices to Prevent Diabetes and Its Complications.
Overall Objectives:
The research network is supporting a new and unique platform for rigorous diabetes health policy studies intended to influence and prioritize interventions that reduce diabetes risk, its complications, and health inequalities across broad population segments.
Study Outcomes:
The study will assess the impact of population-targeted policies on preventive behaviors and outcomes, quantity and quality of care, morbidity, costs, and intended and unintended consequences.

UFC middleweight Chris Leben's problems outside of the Octagon have been well-documented over the years even dating back to his stint on the first season of the Ultimate Fighter. With a failed drug test for PEDs in 2008 and two DWI arrests already attached to his name, Leben has again shot his reputation in the foot by testing positive for Oxymorphone/Oxycodone on the heels of his loss to Mark Munoz earlier this month at UFC 138.
Leben's results were released earlier today by the UFC, as the organization oversaw the November 5 event due to England's lack of an athletic commission. "The Crippler" will be suspended for a year as punishment for the positive hit.
"I like Chris and I want him to do well, but based on his actions, he's been suspended for one year," stated UFC President Dana White in regards to the situation. "If he needs professional help, we are going to be there for him. We want to see him succeed not only in the Octagon, but in his personal life."
The 31-year old, famous for his fearlessness and knockout power, also made a public statement on the matter, explaining, "I would like to make it known that I fully accept this suspension and apologize for embarrassing the UFC, my friends and family, and (the) sport of mixed martial arts. I'm learning that I'm my own worst enemy sometimes. I can't succeed in the Octagon or in life behaving this way. I've got to make some real changes over the next year, and I'm going to focus on getting my life and career back on track."
All other nineteen fighters who competed at UFC 138 were also tested with none coming back dirty.
MMATraining Test: It's a shame to see Leben continue to struggle with addiction. Sad to say, but at this rate it's more likely he'll show up on a future season of Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab than on the cusp of contendership in the UFC.

Development Resources/HOWTO/Nominating and Electing a New Committer
From Eclipsepedia
Guidelines for Nominating and Electing a New Committer
See "4.4 Project Team" in the Eclipse Development Process.
Contributors who have the trust of the Project's Committers can, through election, be promoted Committer for that Project using the process as specified in the Charter of the relevant Top-Level Project. The breadth of a Committer's influence corresponds to the breadth of their contribution. A Development Team's Contributors and Committers may (and should) come from a diverse set of organizations. A Committer has write access to the source code repository for the Project and/or website and/or bug tracking system. A Committer gains voting rights allowing them to affect the future of the Project. Becoming a Committer is a privilege that is earned by contributing and showing discipline and good judgment. It is a responsibility that should be neither given nor taken lightly, nor is it a right based on employment by an Eclipse Member company or any company employing existing committers.
What are the Requirements?
There are only three requirements around nominating and electing new Committers (note that as in section 5 below, there are additional paperwork requirements for the new Committer himself or herself):
- Define Trust. Each project at Eclipse is entitled to define how it evaluates "[people] who have the trust of the Project's Committers ... [through] contributing and showing discipline and good judgment". This definition needs to be a transparent and public document on the project's website. It is extremely important to publish these criteria to avoid any issues around cliques or "the in-crowd" preventing others from joining a project. We haven't had a problem yet and we'd like to keep it that way.
- Employment Neutral. There must not be any hint of "we (company W) hired person X to work on project Y thus person X should elected a committer". Eclipse Committer status is independent of employment; there are well-supported mechanisms (patch files) for contributors without commit-rights and thus Committer status is not required for a team member to be effective. Additionally, the team will want to make sure that they have confidence in the candidate irrespective of employment and management because the Committer status will continue even after moves to another job.
- Public and Archival Election. The nomination and election process for a new Committer is for more than just the project team - it is also for the entire Eclipse community, current and future. The larger Eclipse community uses the artifacts of elections as (one of many pieces of) evidence about the maturity of the project team, and thus quality of the frameworks.
- Nominations such as "we all know Bob, vote for him" may work within the team, but actually harm the project's reputation in the larger Eclipse community - that larger community does not know Bob and does not understand why the project team trusts him with the source code.
What Should a Nomination Look Like?
A committer nomination should explain the candidate's contributions to the project and thus why they should be elected as a Committer. Cite the bugs they have fixed via patches; cite the newsgroup postings they have answered; cite the dev list design discussions to which they have contributed; etc. In all cases, provide urls to source material: the bugs, posts, emails, wiki pages, etc.
Hint: Bugzilla IDs in the "Reason for Nomination" field that are surrounded by square brackets (e.g., "She contributed patches to bugzillas [100000], [100001], ...") are converted into bugzilla URLs by the portal.
How Do We Hold The Election?
Use the MyFoundation Portal to hold Committer elections. The portal will not only step everyone through the process, reminding them to vote, reminding the PMC to approve and the EMO to process the paperwork, etc., but it also provides transparent explanations (visible workings) of the entire process. For example, see the complete committer election process.
What is the PMC's Responsibility Regarding New Committers?
The PMC educates the new Committer on their responsibilities for safeguarding the intellectual property of Eclipse and that they have read, understood, and agree to follow the Committer Guidelines. Being a Committer at Eclipse is more than just having write-access to the CVS repository and/or website - there are specific IP due diligence and record keeping activities that Committers must follow. The PMC is responsible for ensuring that their Committers understand and execute on these responsibilities.
What Paperwork Does the New Committer Need (and Why)?
Why all this paperwork?
The Eclipse Foundation needs to ensure that all committers to the code and/or the website and/or the bug system understand their role in safeguarding the intellectual property of Eclipse. The Foundation also needs to ensure that we have accurate records of the people who are acting as change agents on the projects.
The process the Foundation has chosen to ensure these goals (that committers/bug triagers understand their role; that Foundation has accurate records) is to have committers/bug triagers sign that they have read, understood, and will follow the Committer Guidelines and to have their employer sign that they agree that the new committer/bug triager can participate at Eclipse and can contribute under the terms of the Eclipse Public License.
What paperwork do I need to fill out?
After the Committer election is successful, the portal workflow system will ask the nominating project lead to fill out the New Committer Request Form (affectionately known as the NCRF). The NCRF will trigger the Eclipse Legal side of the Committer election, starting with an email request to the candidate (the new Committer) to fill out paperwork.
The candidate must fill out paperwork as per ONE of C,M,N,O,S or T:
CExisting Committer Added to New Project or Component.
If the candidate/new committer is already a Committer on an existing Eclipse project then additional paperwork may or may not be needed. The candidate will know he or she is a Committer because the candidate will have write-access to the eclipse.org source code repository via an eclipse.org login and password.
- All Committers must be covered by a Member Committer Agreement (MCA) or an Eclipse Committer Employer Consent Form (ECECF). As an existing Committer, the candidate will already be covered by either an MCA or an ECECF for their current project (note that
these documents refer to projects by name and thus if a project's name changes, that is legally a new project). If that MCA or ECECF already explicitly covers the candidate for the new project, or that MCA or ECECF is universal (for all Eclipse Projects), then no additional paperwork is required
- If the candidate is covered by an MCA or ECECF that does not include the new project, then the candidate must complete the appropriate one of steps M, N, or O below.
- If the candidate is being added as a new Committer on a new Component of the same Project on which he or she is already a Committer, then no additional paperwork is necessary.
MWorks for Member Company; Company has Agreement.
If the candidate/new committer (i) works for a Eclipse Member company and (ii) that company has signed and submitted1 a Member Committer Agreement covering all of its employees who contribute to Eclipse, then:
- The new Committer fills out the online Member Committer Questionnaire
NWorks for Member Company; No Company Agreement.
If the candidate/new committer (i) works for an Eclipse Member company but (ii) that company has NOT signed a Member Committer Agreement, then:
- The candidate/new committer fills out the online Individual Committer Questionnaire
- The candidate/new committer signs and submits1 an Individual Committer Agreement. If you find the signature block of this form confusing, we've prepared an example for you to emulate.
- The candidate/new committer prints then has his/her employer sign and submit1 an Eclipse Committer Employer Consent Form.
OWorks for Other Company.
If the candidate/new committer work for a company that is NOT an Eclipse Member then:
- The candidate/new committer fills out the online Individual Committer Questionnaire
- The candidate/new committer signs and submits1 an Individual Committer Agreement. If you find the signature block of this form confusing, we've prepared an example for you to emulate.
- The candidate/new committer prints then has his/her employer sign and submit1 an Eclipse Committer Employer Consent Form.
SSelf Employed.
If the candidate/new committer is self-employed, then:
- The candidate/new committer fills out the online Individual Committer Questionnaire
- The candidate/new committer signs and submits1 an Individual Committer Agreement. If you find the signature block of this form confusing, we've prepared an example for you to emulate.
- If the candidate is self employed, an owner of his/her own company, has full ownership or part ownership in another company and has the authority to sign and submit1 the Eclipse Committer Employer Consent Form on his/her own behalf, then the candidate does so.
- Alternatively, the candidate may arrange for the company that is their principal business customer to sign and submit1 the Eclipse Committer Employer Consent Form on their behalf.
TNot Employed or Student.
If the candidate/new committer is not employed or a student, then:
- The candidate/new committer fills out the online Individual Committer Questionnaire
- The candidate/new committer signs and submits1 an Individual Committer Agreement. If you find the signature block of this form confusing, we've prepared an example for you to emulate.
- The candidate/new committer sends email to email@example.com explaining his or her not employed or student status (reason for this email: because most candidates/new committers are employed by a company, Eclipse Legal assumes that is the case for everyone, thus exceptions need to be noted).
What happens if I do not fill out the paperwork?
Then you don't get your login and password for write-access to the source code repository(s). Sorry. No exceptions.
What happens if I cannot convince my employer to fill out the paperwork?
The Eclipse Board of Directors has taken a firm position that if you are employed then you must meet criteria C, M, N, or O. If you cannot convince your employer to fill out the necessary paperwork, then you may not have write-access to the source code respository(s). This is the Board's position even if you are working on Eclipse projects on your own time. We realize that this prevents some talented and desirable people from being able to commit to the Eclipse projects but this is our IP risk reduction strategy.
The EMO and the Executive Director are happy to talk to your management and senior executives about these (and other) Eclipse legal documents to help them understand why these documents are the best risk reduction solution for everyone involved (Eclipse, you, and your employer) - just contact us at email@example.com.
1 The Eclipse Foundation accepts any of the following formats for submitting a paper form:
- Print, sign, and postal mail the form to the Foundation
- Print, sign, and fax the form to the Foundation
- Print, sign, scan, and email to the scan as an attachment to the Foundation
This page is moderated by the EMO

"A very simple, classic design! I had 3 sets of photos that I was considering for the card...a sporting event, a black tie event and a graduation. I had a hard time deciding which to use as this design works with everything! I am very happy with the finished card and received great feedback."
"We were very happy with our order!! The quality of the card was fantastic!! The website is easy to use, there are a lot of choices in each category, the layout choices are good."
"I chose Tiny Prints because of their user friendly website, a variety of layout choices, and excellent reputation. I was not disappointed in my choice. The cards arrived quickly and the paper quality is excellent."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"This card allowed us to add more info on each kid. The design was fresh and different. I cannot tell you how many people have complimented us on the card. Just LOVED it!"

From LeakyPedia
Sybill Trelawney was a professor of Divination at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her divination skills are lacking although she has made two successful, and very important, prophecies. She is the great-great-granddaughter of seer, Cassandra Trelawney.
Character development
In the year of 1980, Sybill convinced Albus Dumbledore for an interview regarding the new Divination Professor at Hogwarts. Dumbledore, who thought Divination was no longer needed, only gave her a chance due to her relation to Cassandra Trelawney, a well known seer. At first Dumbledore was unimpressed with her skills she showed him though as he was leaving, she made a prophecy involving the Dark Lord. Dumbledore then decided to Hire Trelawney so he could protect her from Lord Voldemort.
Prisoner of Azkaban
In 1993, Professor Trewlawney first met Harry Potter in one of her Divination lessons. She constantly predicted Harry was going to die due to numerous signs he had, thus annoying Harry.
"Sybill Trelawney has predicted the death of a student every year since she came to this school. None of them have died yet." Minerva Mcgonagall
Professor Trelawney's favourite students, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil also joined to class the same year and were fascinated by the subject. Approaching the end of the year, she made another prophecy involving Peter Pettigrew and Lord Voldemort. [1]
Fourth book
If applicable, maybe a paragraph here.
Fifth book
In OOtP, Professor Umbridge takes a disliking to Sybill, and she is sacked. However, Dumbledore lets her stay, and hires the centaur, Firenze to teach, quite to Umbridge's dismay (he being a half-human)
Sixth book
In 1996, Trelawney was hired to teach Divination again, but was forced to co-teach with Firenze, which she resented. She complained to the Headmaster about the arrangement many times, and warned him of the calamities soon to befall the school, but her grievances and cautions went unheard.
On one occasion, she was seen consulting her Tarot cards and talking about the Lightning-Struck Tower.
"The lightning-struck tower. Calamity. Disaster. Coming nearer all the time…" Sybill Trelawney
At another time, while she went to the Room of Requirements to hide her sherry bottles and overheard someone excitedly yelling. She questioned the person, but was thrown out of the room. Harry Potter (correctly) suspected that the person was Draco Malfoy. We learn in this book that Trelawney was the one who gave the prophecy about Harry and Vodemort. Trelawney met Harry later and revealed to him that it was Severus Snape whom eavesdropped about the prophecy about him and Voldemort.
Final book
Professor Trelawney joined the final battle at Hogwarts.
She managed to knock Fenrir Greyback out by throwing a crystal ball at his head from over the marble banisters to the Entrance Hall, after Hermione's spell hit him in time to prevent him from biting Lavender Brown. Then she shouted that she had more crystal balls for any who wanted them before heaving another from her bag and using her wand to make the ball speed across the hall and smash through a window.
Portrayals within films
Sybill Trelawney is played by Emma Thompson and appears in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 films.
Outward appearance
Sybill Trelawney gives the apperance of being slightly batty with her large owl like glasses and dreamy voice that increases with volume as she gets excited. Harry thinks that her glasses give her the illusion of looking like a large insect
Sybill Trelawney is dramatic and mystical. However, she is quite mad when maddend.
Magical accomplishments and skills
Great-granddaughter of the celebrated Seer Cassandra Trelwaney, Sybill has made exactly 2 prophecies, one about Harry OR Neville and one about the rise of the Dark Lord.
If important, maybe a paragraph here.
Maybe 1-3 paragraphs here.
Depending on how important the character, maybe 0-3 paragraphs here.
In popular culture
If applicable, maybe a couple paragraphs here.

It is prefered that you use an Additional Canon section (and related sub-sections) on LeakyPedia entries for information that comes from lesser canon sources such as video games, board games, action figures, amusement parks, and other Warner Brothers or J.K. Rowling sanctioned sources.

Get Paid/Free Book to do Super-fast OotP ReviewBooks

If you think you can handle this, write to:
World's Fastest Potter Review

A DeKalb County jury began deliberations on Thursday on whether to impose the death penalty against a convicted cop killer.The jury will decide whether the state will execute William Woodward for the shooting deaths of two off-duty DeKalb County police officers.Woodard was convicted last week in the murders of Barker and Bryant. Woodard claimed he shot them in self-defense after the officers confronted him at an apartment complex where they were working off-duty security jobs in 2008.Prosecutors urged the jury to give Woodard the death sentence for killing to the two officers.As prosecutor Don Geary spoke of the two slain officers, Eric Barker and Ricky Bryant Jr., he told jurors that Woodard brutally murdered the officers.Geary told the jurors that Woodard had bragged of "holding court in the street," because as a convicted felon, he did not want return to jail.Defense attorneys delivered their closing arguments on Thursday. They pointed to Woodard's background of neglect, abuse and exposure to violence. The jurors will have to decide whether to give Woodard life imprisonment, life in prison without parole, or sentence him to death. They deliberated for a couple of hours on Thursday before recessing for the day.Deliberations are expected to resume on Friday morning.

Remembering Papa
One Hundred years after his birth, Ernest Hemingway's proud and painful legacy endures.
Neil A. Grauer
From the Print Edition:
Ernest Hemingway, Jul/Aug 99
The destruction was so complete it was impossible--and pointless--to determine precisely how he had done it.
Ernest Hemingway either had placed the double barrels of a 12-gauge English shotgun in his mouth, as he once had demonstrated for uneasy friends at his home in Cuba ("Look, this is how I'm going to do it.... The palate is the softest part of the head."); or he had put both barrels to his brow, just above his dark brown eyes.
However Hemingway had positioned the weapon (which he had bought years before at Abercrombie & Fitch and used for shooting pigeons), when he tripped both triggers early on the morning of July 2, 1961, the result was devastating: blood, brain, bone, teeth, flesh and hair, splattered all over the small, oak-paneled and tile-floored foyer of his home in Ketchum, Idaho. He simply blew away his entire cranial vault.
In doing so, Hemingway, then 19 days shy of his 62nd birthday, slew the demons of depression, insecurity and alcoholism that had tormented him for decades. And instead of just ending a life of immense literary accomplishments, admirable military and sporting exploits, and considerable personal mythmaking, Hemingway's suicide provided a tragic counterpoint to the ongoing celebration of a man acknowledged then and now as the most influential--and imitated--prose stylist of the twentieth century.
Winner of the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes, Hemingway in death also gave birth to an industry of Hemingwayana--not merely an ever-burgeoning bookcase of biographies and analyses, but multiple municipal festivals and museums in the places where he lived, as well as merchandise that trades on the marketability of his machismo. His popularity remains as powerful as ever this year, the 100th anniversary of his birth.
Books about him--and by him--continue to sell. In July, what is being called the last of Hemingway's novels, True at First Light, will be unveiled, culled from a mammoth, unfinished manuscript about his final African safari in 1953-'54. (The book has sparked a literary controversy--notably Joan Didion in The New Yorker and Jonathan Yardley in The Washington Post--questioning the propriety of the posthumous publication of an uncompleted work.)
Hemingway's sons, John, Patrick and Gregory, formed Hemingway Ltd. in 1992 to license the use of his name, image and signature. (Each son has long earned up to $100,000 a year in Hemingway-related royalties.) They came in for some heated criticism when one of the first items they authorized was a Hemingway shotgun. They protested that their father really had loved such a gun. Less controversial was the licensing of a $600 limited-edition Mont Blanc fountain pen--even though Hemingway himself wrote his books in pencil. The market for Hemingway first editions and autographs "continues to be very strong, depending on the item," says Chris Bready of the Baltimore Book Co., a dealer in rare books. Some first editions in their original dust covers command sums "well into five figures," Bready says.
In the cigar world, Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. has produced a Hemingway line of cigars since 1986, with different sizes carrying literary-themed names such as Short Story, Best Seller and Masterpiece.
The Cuban government reverentially maintains Hemingway's 21-acre estate, Finca Vigía (Lookout Farm), situated on a hilltop 15 miles from downtown Havana, as a shrine-like museum. He lived there for 22 years--his longest residence anywhere. His birthplace in Oak Park, Illinois, also is a museum, as is the house where he lived for a decade in Key West, Florida. Competing municipal celebrations of Hemingway are held annually in Key West and Sanibel Island, southwest of Fort Meyers, Florida.
Places he visited and events he relished remain popular attractions. The running of the bulls through the streets of Pamplona, Spain, during the fiesta of San Fermin--a centuries-old ritual given international recognition in Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises--still draws thousands of revelers who strive each year to experience his daredevil enjoyment of it. Visitors to the Bahamas are directed to Hemingway's favorite fishing spots for giant marlin. Travel guidebooks almost always list his favorite watering holes--Harry's Bar in Venice; the Ritz Bar in Paris; Chicote's Bar in Madrid; Sloppy Joe's in Key West; El Floridita in Havana--so that untold numbers of tourists can hoist a few where so many were downed by "Papa" (the nickname he gave himself at the age of 27).

vacation rental description
The Kaweah Cottage and Shangrila Nature Preserve are most appreciated by visitors who want an exceptionally clean and comfortable home with very close access to the River and who enjoy truly getting away from it all. Surrounded by thousands of acres of oak woodlands, horse pastures and ancient river pools, this historic homestead offers a place of sanctuary, healing and celebration for the more adventurous lovers of Nature.
It is best suited for independent travelers who take pleasure in preparing their own meals in a gourmet kitchen; who prefer being away from the nearby town with it's busy highways and tourist crowds; who love vacationing in a wilderness area while nestled in a luxurious, healthy, green-built home that they have all to themselves.
Whether you are a writer or an artist wanting to nurture your creativity, a couple seeking precious time together, or a family with children looking to explore Nature and discover nearby Sequoia National Park -- Kaweah Cottage is the perfect place.
We're located at the end of an unpaved country road on the upper South Fork of the Kaweah River -- far away from cities, suburbia, and the usual routines -- fifteen minutes from the village of Three Rivers and thirty minutes from the main entrance to Sequoia National Park. This is a memorable destination where one can really get away, slow down, and sink into the peace and beauty.
Although the Cottage is equipped with the essential technologies that many of us need to stay connected -- satellite wi-fi, cordless phone, dvd player, an audiophile sound system -- we encourage our guests to spend most of their time unplugged, listening to the sounds from the adjacent Creek, the symphony of wildlife, and the down canyon breezes wafting through the oaks. Being here will change the way you feel.
Here are a few of the favorite features and activities:
Hiking and exploring around the 62 acre Shangrila Nature Preserve; summertime swimming and frolicking along the spectacular and secluded river and creek; year-round bird-watching; full day excursions up to the Sequoias; fine bedding, sheets, and towels; the fully equipped gourmet kitchen; amazingly comfortable bathtub and spacious shower; breathtaking night skies; watching horses graze from the bedroom view deck; exceptional privacy -- turn the music up as loud as you want... whenever you want; a clean, comfortable, natural place that becomes your home away from home.

Depending on the winter snow pack, there are four to ten weeks of river swimming and year-round hiking and exploring. You can sleep out on the view deck, gaze up at the firmament, drift off to the sounds of the flowing streams, and breathe in the cool, sweet, down canyon breezes from the Sierra high country.
Come in the SPRINGTIME during the Snow Melt that roars down through the canyons of the South Fork of the Kaweah and the more remote Grouse Creek. Hike through primeval riparian habitats and serene oak woodlands. Discover rare wildflowers and abundant fauna. On hot SUMMER days take a refreshing dip in the brisk Sierra runoff and then feel the warm embrace of the Big Smooth Rock. Wonder at the night sky and observe meteor showers. In AUTUMN enjoy hiking, rock hopping, sunsets, skywatching, leaves. ALL YEAR-ROUND: exploring, birdwatching, sunrises, photography, painting, writing, playing, resting.

Team Lelia-"Captain" by Lelia's Diabetic Crusaders - 12 months ago
"This is a picture of our team, Lelia's Diabetic Crusaders. I know it's hard to see in this picture but we are all pointing to our daughter Lelia. She is turned backwards because on the back of her shirt is the title "Captain." She is our inspiration for us using CustomInk, to design shirts for our very first 5K walk. Lelia simply glows knowing that these shirts and the 5K walk today was all for her (and all Type 1 Diabetics.) You helped make a good day great, thanks CustomInk."
