I'm having issues with positioning room tags.
When I try to position my prefered tag in some, mostly, small rooms I get an out of room error.
I assume this relates to an insertion point over which I have no apparent control which can be clearly seen, a green line, when trying to move the tag - see attached screen grab.
As I don't want to use a leader any suggestions or am I missing something obvious?

Solved! Go to Solution.
It appears that the Elements in the Family are not located on the origin point (intersection of the reference planes). You can open the Family for editing to correct this, but all of your existing Tags will be changed as well.
Noted but the family editor doesn't give me the option for reference planes, only reference lines

The Reference Planes are already there. Most likely, Annotation Categories are turned off under Visibility/Graphics Overrides.

Criminal Justice
Judge Allows Charity to Contact Theater Shooting Victims with Their OK
Posted Aug 17, 2012 6:02 AM CDT
By Molly McDonough
A Colorado judge overseeing the case involving the mass shooting during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises has agreed to allow a charitable group to contact victims and begin disbursing $4 million in funds raised for their support.
However, Judge William Sylvester said victims of the Aurora shooting must first agree to be contacted, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Rich Orman asked Sylvester to release names of the victims to the Colorado Organization for Victim's Assistance because some of them are in "dire financial circumstances," according to the Denver Post.
The Associated Press reports that shooting suspect James E. Holmes showed no emotion during discussion of the victims during the brief procedural hearing, which was required because most documents in the case are under seal.
Holmes is accused of killing 12 and injuring 58 others on July 20.

New academy pupils launch treasure trail
10:10am Wednesday 9th April 2014 in News By Andy Carswell, Reporter
A MURDER mystery-themed treasure trail was launched at the same time a school celebrated becoming an academy.
Balloons were released into the air as pupils and staff at Great Missenden School celebrated making the step up to academy status last week.
The Church Street school also unveiled the Great Missenden Treasure Trail at the same time - giving youngsters the chance to win an Easter Egg for solving it.
The trail takes participants around Great Missenden, with clues to solve scattered around the village.
Children and parents have been set the task of solving the mystery of who killed Bob Martinsend - a local politician responsible for building a new railway through the village who has been found floating in the river Misbourne.

Kumar and Ellavarasi (names changed) stand behind their cart laden with vegetables at the weekly farmers' market and call out to passing customers. Their son, a toddler, plays with his toys nearby, as the couple are busy marketing their stock of tomatoes, gourd and pumpkins.
It has been a profitable day and the couple look forward to buying some essentials for their home and, if money is left over, some tasty treats which their son will enjoy. They are like any other young couple in their 20s living in the rural hinterlands of Tamil Nadu, struggling to eke out a living, with one key difference none of their fellow vendors or their customers are aware of: they are both HIV-positive.
Kumar first met Ellavarasi in 2006 at a meeting which brought together People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs) in the Trichy District. Kumar was a supervisor in a local manufacturing unit and Ellavarasi was a young widow still coming to terms with her husband's untimely death. Both were struggling to cope with a devastating disease that had infected and impacted them physically, emotionally and socially.
During the meeting, several participants shared their experiences of living with HIV and the challenges they faced in dealing with the disease on a day-to-day basis. Women, in particular, have to deal with isolation and discrimination from their families and neighbours and, worse, economic instability after their husband's death. There is no-one with whom they can share their concerns and anxieties and they often became sexual prey for other men.
Mithra Foundation – Jeevika's organisational partner in Trichy, Tamil Nadu – provides livelihood opportunities and enhances social and economic well being of PLWHAs, played matchmaker for Ellavarasi and Kumar. Mithra, during its monthly meetings with PLWHAs stresses the importance of positive living and proposed marriage as a solution to loneliness and stigma faced by HIV-positive individuals. Marriage with a fellow HIV-carrier provides not just companionship, but also a practical base for dealing with the illness, including mutual monitoring of medication and sharing the cost of treatment.
"PLWHAs need love, care and support from their spouses and most importantly someone to take care of their physical and emotional needs and give them the strength to face life's adversities," said Mr Peter Nayagam, who heads Mithra Foundation.
Kumar's family were initially apprehensive about his marriage to an HIV-positive woman, but they have since come around with counselling, and have accepted Ellavarasi.
"We caution both men and women with HIV to reveal their positive status and find a partner who is also infected. They understand the trials and tribulations of being HIV positive and are likely to be more supportive and understanding," says Mr Nayagam.
Encouraged by the marriage of Kumar and Ellavarasi, Mithra has since set up an informal marriage bureau and succeeded in uniting eight more couples with HIV status.
It hasn't been easy for Mithra to find potential partners for HIV-positive individuals who want to marry. Opposition from family and community is common and widows with children find it more difficult to find a partner. Men do not want to take responsibility for somebody else's children, especially if they are HIV-positive.
Kumar and Ellavarasi are members of Mithra's Self-Help Groups (SHGs) for PLWHAs and both also engage in votive candle-making which, together with other SHGs, are able to make a small amount of income selling their candles to the local temples and churches. The couple recently received a revolving fund of Rs5,000 (approx. £53) from Mithra (sponsored by Jeevika) and a bank loan of Rs10,000 (approx. £106) and utilised the amount to engage in vegetable vending. Their household income is now approximately Rs4,000 (£43) per month and growing.
Both Kumar and Ellavarasi are on Anti-Retroviral Therapy (a medication provided to HIV-positive individuals to boost their immunity levels) and often fall ill due to opportunistic infections, but their cloud has a silver lining: their two-and-a-half-year-old son, who is the apple of their eye, is free from the HIV virus.
Dedicate your money to supporting the future happiness of couples like Kumar and Ellavarasi today

MADISON (WKOW)-- Every year millions of people tune in to watch the Super Bowl. Many aren't even fans of football, but watch the game for some of the year's best commercials.
This year one will feature a man that lives right here in Madison.
Ryan Koch is no professional actor, famous athlete or celebrity, but on Super Bowl Sunday his face will be seen by millions."I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd have my photo out there to be seen by millions of people," Koch says.Koch is real estate agent at Keller Williams in Madison. He's what you'd call a hobby photographer, shooting pictures in his free time."I picked a camera up and I kind of was shooting homes for marketing purposes and then a year ago I went to Haiti for a mission trip and I came back with some powerful images and got good response from friends and family," Koch explains.After that he developed a deep passion for photography. You can see it in some of his most detailed photographs, but he never imagined that a picture of him jumping off a rock in Maine would soon been seen across the world."I didn't think I would win. I didn't think I'd get in a Super Bowl commercial let alone any commercial."The commercial is a one-minute spot for car maker Toyota. Using Twitter the company asked the public to submit photos for their upcoming Super Bowl ad. Out of thousands of pictures they chose Koch's."It's only for a split second so if you blink you'll most definitely miss me," Koch chuckles.
His picture only appears for 38 frames of video, just over a second of TV time. It's shown on a small cell phone in the corner.Most people will probably miss it, but for Koch and his many friends and family members it's the thrill of a lifetime."Most people get 15 minutes of fame. I'm happy with my one second, so I'll take it," Koch says with a smile on his face.
Koch was paid $600 for his photo. It's the first time a picture of his has been published. He says he won't let the exposure go to his head. He won't be quitting his day job any time soon.
(MADISON) WKOW-- No matter which teams are playing, the Super Bowl draws millions of viewers to catch the action. The event is often referred to as the biggest advertising opportunity of the year with companies spending millions of dollars for each 30-second spot.
On Sunday night one of those ads will feature a photograph from local hobby photographer Ryan Koch. The picture, shown above, was taken by Koch earlier this year. It will make it's worldwide debut during a one minute spot for Toyota. Out of thousands of photos submitted on Twitter, Koch's picture was chosen as the sole winner for this year's ad.
Tune in to WKOW 27 News at 6:00 and 10:00 PM Saturday night to see the ad and hear from the photographer who had the rare opportunity to share his work with the world.

Sheedy diagnosed with cancer
1:14pm Wednesday 22nd August 2012 in National Sport © Press Association 2014
Everton academy coach Kevin Sheedy has been diagnosed with bowel cancer.
The 52-year-old, who as a player featured heavily in the club's success of the mid-1980s, will undergo surgery later this week and is expected to be absent from Finch Farm for some time.
"It's not ideal but I have to remain positive," said Sheedy. "After a period of rehabilitation I will return to my coaching role at Everton."
Sheedy was keen to highlight the importance of people being aware of getting an early diagnosis if they experienced any problems.
"There is a history in the family," he told evertonfc.com.
"It's so important that people don't ignore the early signs and symptoms and don't be afraid to consult a GP."
Sheedy, a former Republic of Ireland international, made 369 appearances for Everton, scoring 97 goals.

Vergennes, Vermont -
September 30, 2011
Police still don't know what caused
the death of a Vergennes woman who attempted to rob a convenience store early
Wednesday morning.
The medical examiner's office says the
cause and manner of the death of Yemalla Sprauve, 34, is still pending.
Police say Sprauve attempted to hold
up the Champlain Farms in Vergennes at knifepoint. The male clerk on duty
wrestled the knife from the would-be robber and then restrained her until
police arrived. Sprauve died on the way to the hospital.
Police say they will not comment on
her death until they've receive a full report, including toxicology results,
from the medical examiner. We're told that could take several weeks.

Definition of Protestantism:Protestantism is one of the major branches of Christianity today stemming from the movement known as the Protestant Reformation. The Reformation began in Europe in the early 16th century by Christians who opposed many of the unbiblical beliefs, practices, and abuses taking place within the Roman Catholic Church.
In a broad sense, present-day Christianity can be divided into three major traditions: Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox. Protestants make up the second largest group, with approximately 800 million Protestant Christians in the world today.
Protestant Reformation:The most notable reformer was German theologian Martin Luther (1483-1546), often called the pioneer of the Protestant Reformation. He and many other brave and controversial figures helped reshape and revolutionize the face of Christianity.
Most historians mark the start of the revolution on October 31, 1517, when Luther nailed his famous 95-Thesis to the University of Wittenburg's bulletin board—the Castle Church door, formally challenging church leaders on the practice of selling indulgences and outlining the biblical doctrine of justification by grace alone.
Learn more about some of the major Protestant reformers:
- John Wycliffe (1324-1384)
- Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531)
- William Tyndale (1494-1536)
- John Calvin (1509-1564)
- More Famous Christians in History
Protestant Churches:Protestant churches today consist of hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of denominations with roots in the Reformation movement. While specific denominations vary widely in practice and beliefs, a common doctrinal groundwork exists among them.
These churches all reject the ideas of apostolic succession and papal authority. Throughout the course of the Reformation period, five distinct tenets emerged in opposition to Roman Catholic teachings of that day. They are known as the "Five Solas," and they are apparent in the essential beliefs of almost all Protestant churches today:
- Sola Scriptura ("Scripture alone") - The Bible alone is the sole authority for all matters of faith, life, and doctrine.
- Sola Fide ("faith alone") - Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
- Sola Gratia ("grace alone") - Salvation is by the grace of God alone.
- Solus Christus ("Christ alone") - Salvation is found only in Jesus Christ because of his atoning sacrifice.
- Soli Deo Gloria ("for the glory of God alone") - Salvation is accomplished by God alone, and only for his glory.

Guest post by Dr. Terry Stoops
For many years, state education and political leaders promised increasing our "investment" in public schools was the key to raising student achievement for disadvantaged students. And invest we did, increasing inflation-adjusted per pupil spending by nearly 25 percent in the last 20 years alone.
Yet, two decades later, disadvantaged children in North Carolina public schools continue to struggle. Last year, only 28 percent of low-income students in grades 3-8 were proficient in math. Around 29 percent were proficient in reading. That means that about seven out of 10 students in public elementary and middle schools are not proficient in math and reading as measured by state standardized tests.
Acknowledging that the "throw money at the problem" approach was a failure, Republican leaders in the N.C. General Assembly decided to change course. In 2013, legislators championed a research-based approach to raising student performance — a private school voucher program for families who, unlike the wealthy, do not have the means to provide educational options for their children.
The program was new, but the idea wasn't. Even when Democrats were in charge of state government, North Carolina had long relied on private and religious institutions to provide schooling and educational services for toddlers, college students, and those in between. State agencies continue to direct taxpayer money to private (often sectarian) preschools, universities, and facilities for special-needs children. Faith-based organizations, churches, and private entities annually receive millions in grant money to provide educational services for at-risk elementary and secondary school students, among others.

Step-by-step analysis of biological data
I find that a systematic, step-by-step approach is the best way to analyze biological data. The statistical analysis of a biological experiment may be broken down into the following steps:
- Specify the biological question to be answered.
- Put the question in the form of a biological null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis.
- Put the question in the form of a statistical null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis.
- Determine which variables are relevant to the question.
- Determine what kind of variable each one is.
- Design an experiment that controls or randomizes the confounding variables.
- Based on the number of variables, the kind of variables, the expected fit to the parametric assumptions, and the hypothesis to be tested, choose the best statistical test to use.
- If possible, do a power analysis to determine a good sample size for the experiment.
- Do the experiment.
- Examine the data to see if it meets the assumptions of the statistical test you chose (normality, homoscedasticity, etc.). If it doesn't, choose a more appropriate test.
- Apply the chosen statistical test, and interpret the result.
- Communicate your results effectively, usually with a graph or table.
Here's an example of how this works. Verrelli and Eanes (2001) measured glycogen content in Drosophila melanogaster individuals. The flies were polymorphic at the genetic locus that codes for the enzyme phosphoglucomutase (PGM). At site 52 in the PGM protein sequence, flies had either a valine or an alanine. At site 484, they had either a valine or a leucine. All four combinations of amino acids (V-V, V-L, A-V, A-L) were present.
- One biological question is "Do the amino acid polymorphisms at the Pgm locus have an effect on glycogen content?" The biological question is usually something about biological processes, usually in the form "Does X cause Y?"
- The biological null hypothesis is "Different amino acid sequences do not affect the biochemical properties of PGM, so glycogen content is not affected by PGM sequence." The biological alternative hypothesis is "Different amino acid sequences do affect the biochemical properties of PGM, so glycogen content is affected by PGM sequence."
- The statistical null hypothesis is "Flies with different sequences of the PGM enzyme have the same average glycogen content." The alternate hypothesis is "Flies with different sequences of PGM have different average glycogen contents." While the biological null and alternative hypotheses are about biological processes, the statistical null and alternative hypotheses are all about the numbers; in this case, the glycogen contents are either the same or different.
- The two relevant variables are glycogen content and PGM sequence.
- Glycogen content is a measurement variable, something that is recorded as a number that could have many possible values. The sequence of PGM that a fly has (V-V, V-L, A-V or A-L) is a nominal variable, something with a small number of possible values (four, in this case) that is usually recorded as a word.
- Other variables that might be important, such as age and where in a vial the fly pupated, were either controlled (flies of all the same age were used) or randomized (flies were taken randomly from the vials without regard to where they pupated).
- Because the goal is to compare the means of one measurement variable among groups classified by one nominal variable, and there are more than two classes, the appropriate statistical test is a Model I one-way anova.
- A power analysis would have required an estimate of the standard deviation of glycogen content, which probably could have been found in the published literature, and a number for the effect size (the variation in glycogen content among genotypes that the experimenters wanted to detect). In this experiment, any difference in glycogen content among genotypes would be interesting, so the experimenters just used as many flies as was practical in the time available.
- The experiment was done: glycogen content was measured in flies with different PGM sequences.
- The anova assumes that the measurement variable, glycogen content, is normal (the distribution fits the bell-shaped normal curve) and homoscedastic (the variances in glycogen content of the different PGM sequences are equal), and inspecting histograms of the data shows that the data fit these assumptions. If the data hadn't met the assumptions of anova, the Kruskal–Wallis test or Welch's test might have been better.
- The one-way anova was done, using a spreadsheet, web page, or computer program, and the result of the anova is a P-value less than 0.05. The interpretation is that flies with some PGM sequences have different average glycogen content than flies with other sequences of PGM.
- The results could be summarized in a table, but a more effective way to communicate them is with a graph:
|Glycogen content in Drosophila melanogaster. Each bar represents the mean glycogen content (in micrograms per fly) of 12 flies with the indicated PGM haplotype. Narrow bars represent +/-2 standard errors of the mean.
Verrelli, B.C., and W.F. Eanes. 2001. The functional impact of PGM amino acid polymorphism on glycogen content in Drosophila melanogaster. Genetics 159: 201-210. (Note that for the purposes of this web page, I've used a different statistical test than Verrelli and Eanes did. They were interested in interactions among the individual amino acid polymorphisms, so they used a two-way anova.)

Exclusive: "I Learned So Much Stuff From Kanye West In Such A Short Amount Of Time, It's Ridiculous"
Friday, Dec 2, 2011 1:55PM
SOHH recently caught up with Atlanta rapper Roscoe Dash to get his opinion on Kanye West receiving a staggering seven Grammy nominations for his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Roscoe, who has worked with Kanye in the past, says that even before the nominations were announced he was rooting for Mr. West.
"When people ask me who is my favorite person that I've worked with I always say Kanye. Ye is so, so creative ... he always maintains such a high level of creativity and energy going whenever you're in the room with him. I admire that about him ... I learned so much about him in such a short amount of time, it's ridiculous."(SOHH)
Dash went on to add that, despite his reputation as an egomaniac, West values the opinion of fellow entertainers.
"He's really down to Earth. He'll ask you, 'Yo -- what do you think about this?' Then he figures out the best way to troubleshoot and make the song the best that it can be. He's never been afraid to step into other lanes and add a little depth to his music. He takes his music and just does this crazy stuff to it to make it poppin' and really have it appeal to everybody."(SOHH)
Last month, G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean told SOHH Mr. West was responsible for forging a connection between himself and Nicki Minaj, who not only appears on MBDTF but is nominated for a 'Best New Artist' Grammy this year.
"Me and Nicki have had a relationship for a while as friends. I've known her since we were working on Kanye West's album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. We were all out in Hawaii kickin' it and from there we've always been cool. The "A$$" song had already been getting alot of play before it was even a single, so the label asked me if I wanted to do anything special for the radio version. I was thinking about adding another verse, but then I realized that wouldn't be that special, so I started thinking about putting someone else on it. That's when I thought about Nicki." (SOHH)

We understand your district isn't defined simply as a place with buildings, stores, and restaurants. Your district is about the experience encountered by district workers, residents, visitors and even students. With a great district experience comes another important group – investors!
Since we began providing services to improvement district services more than fifteen years ago, we recognized the importance of selecting not just hard working people, but friendly, engaging people to comprise our Ambassador teams.
In many of our destination-driven cities we've created hospitality-centered programs. Our programs in places like Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the River walk in San Antonio, the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, and the beach district of Waikiki are all centered on some of the following hospitality related concepts:
Being Empowered to Serve
Ambassadors are not only trained, but encouraged to find meaningful ways to improve someone's district experience.
Focused on Continuous Engagement
Our hospitality programs are focused on continual engagements to deliver smiles and greetings to as many people as possible. We've found that delivering information and friendly conversation easily follows!
The unique training concepts developed for our hospitality-centric programs have been woven into every Block by Block program. Making certain every Ambassador has hospitality skills ensures we play a significant role in delivering the right experience for your district!

Columnist Pete Fiutak of CFN has a breakdown of each position in the game here.
Surprisingly, Fiutak -- who I've heard on other occasions declare "nobody cares about any Pac10 team other than USC" and that Auburn would blow out Oregon -- seems to have moderated his viewpoint a bit...
His evaluation:
QB -- Auburn
RB -- Oregon (barely)
Receivers -- Even
OL -- Oregon
DL -- Auburn
LB -- Oregon
DB -- Oregon "by a mile"
Special teams -- Oregon (by Cliff Harris)
Coaches -- Oregon
Pretty objective if you ask me, and not what I expected. Not bad for a guy with a decided East Coast Bias. I feel bad for spelling his name wrong last time.

February 12, 1982
5:00am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By David Crozier, Nostalgia Editor
Salesman Nick Stringer, of Highfield Way, Chorleywood, will be England's rugby full back in the match against France in Paris on February 20.
The 21-year-old former Rickmansworth School pupil, who won his first cap last month when he came on as a second half replacement against Australia, appeared in the national press this week and was seen by millions of television viewers on Thames Sport.
"It's a great thrill," said Nick. "It came as a real surprise when the chairman of the selectors broke the news to me on Sunday."
Nick, who was playing junior rugby with Fullerians just two years ago, now plays his club rugby at Wasps.
[From the Watford Observer of February 12, 1982]
NOSTALGIA NOTE: Sadly, as the following week's paper revealed, a hamstring injury deprived Nick of his first full appearance. He eventually made his full debut on November 3, 1984 against Australia at Twickenham. The visitors won 19-3. He was also a starter on January 5 the following year when England beat Romania 22-15 at Twickenham, but that proved the last of his five international caps.

Will Baltimore bring a revival church choir to sing behind Reverend Lewis while he gives his usual televised pregame pep speech to his team mates? "Lord Jeesas, can I get a whhitness?!'
The biggest story line behind Superbowl 47 has nothing to do with the coaches, as Jim Harbaugh already has brought out, its the players on the field. I would add one more dimension to it.
Although Jim doesn't know this or at least hasn't publicly acknowledged it, the real force he is up against is God Almighty. Yes, God took a personal interest in the Baltimore Ravens soon after Ray Lewis announced his retirement. What else could possibly explain the Raven's suddenly winning not one, but two big road wins?
Now, I really dont like when fans dissect their opponents wins and downplay their good plays and focus more on how the other teams lost. Its just a shallow attempt to show how their own team played far better teams and that the opponent shouldn't even be playing and unless they are granted luck from above, they wont win again. But I am going to do just that because the 9ers are so freakin better than the Ravens.
The Colts game. The Colts were the original "The Team of Destiny" due to the fact that their coach went down early with cancer. Im glad he beat it and things seem to be going good for him now. Unfortunately, the guy who was coaching the team the entire year up to then got sick and missed the game. They lost bla bla bla. Was this chance or did God see fit to smite the Colts? Maybe it was just karma for tanking last season to get a good qb.
The Bronco game. Here is where God really played well for Baltimore. I didnt watch this game so I cant say for sure, but I heard that Gods hand came down and literally touched John Fox, transfiguring him into Marty Schottenheimer. Just this aspect alone would have won the game; John Marty clinching his butthole into a knot and calling a more conservative game plan than Rush Limbaugh's politics. But no, it wasnt done yet.. he send a myriad of angels to hold back Rahim Moore, letting a lone receiver get behind him and then causing him to jump at such an awkward time.. so that the only play that could possibly work.. a 70 yard bomb.. would win the game. Nevermind the fact that Peyton Manning had previously sold his soul to the devil for his only SB win anyway.. and has a neck made out of titanium and rubber bands.. and it was 8*.
The Patriot game. I watched this one and kept wondering which team I would rather face. A Patriot team with no secondary but one we went up against earlier, and having an angry motivated Belichick this time or God's own Ravens. Well it turned out that God pulled a Freaky Friday routine and swapped Belichick's and Brady's souls and minds for Matt Cassel and Romeo Crannel. That was some awesome game and clock management. It also helped that Gronk was out and Welker again had passes bouncing off his hands at critical times.
All these games to me show a team thats good enough to beat us only if the unreal happens. The only real chance they have is if God doesn't rescind the curse he's put on Aldon Smith and we dont get any effective pass rush. Im thinking tho that He's getting tired of the cliched dance/speech and over the top eye black. I know I am!

|Vilas officials have questions on autopsies
By Ken Anderson
News Correspondent

Majorana fermions are a type of fermion that would be its own antiparticle. These curious particles could be useful in creating a quantum computer, and recent evidence has suggested that we might be close to creating Majorana fermions in the laboratory.
The particles are named after Italian physicist Ettore Majorana, who first proposed the existence of these types of particles in 1937, shortly before a mysterious disappearance (at only age 31 ... although I'm not sure if there's an appropriate age to mysteriously disappear).
A group of Danish researchers believe they saw these particles in the lab in April 2012 and then, in August 2012, physicists at Stanford found results that may actually indicate they've discovered these particles while working with a topological insulator placed next to an ordinary superconductor. These results are not, at the time of this writing, considered conclusive.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Windows XP support will end April 8 and many organizations have not yet decided how to address the problem. IGEL Technology recommends a painless and highly cost-effective solution: the IGEL UDC2 software thin client.
The IGEL Universal Desktop Converter 2 (UDC2) software turns PCs, laptops, and the thin clients of other manufacturers into IGEL Linux thin clients allowing all of these devices to come under user-friendly, central management. Rather than investing IT budget in new hardware, companies can set up a virtual infrastructure and use the UDC2 to standardize their existing hardware. The UDC2 will install IGEL's Linux 5 operating system on almost any PC hardware, including desktop and mobile PC's. Additionally, the UDC2 can be installed as a Live USB stick to run IGEL Linux 5 on a temporary basis and still provide access to a Windows operating system.
Significant cost reduction
The low cost of the UDC2 represents significant savings for organizations seeking a solution to replace Windows XP. The software comes with IGEL's Universal Management Suite (UMS), the industry's leading device management platform, which enables user-friendly, centralized deployment and administration of an organization's thin client inventory. With total device management in one location, the administrative cost of maintaining end points falls markedly. Extending the life of existing hardware also frees IT budget to be invested in other projects.
"IGEL's software thin client has become increasingly popular," notes Jeff Kalberg, General Manager of IGEL Technology America. "Many organizations still have a large number of PC's running Windows XP, and they are looking for a way to move away from the unsupported Windows XP platform while minimizing the drain on their budgets a forklift upgrade would mean. Our software thin client really is the ideal solution. Not only does the UDC2 equate to lower capital expenditure, which in many cases could be classified as an operating expense, but the time and effort saved by standardizing the operating system on a wide variety of existing PC hardware, as well as bringing everything under a truly enterprise-class, centralized, remote management system, is tremendous. No more support calls dealing with individual PC's. All administration happens remotely. For IT support staff, the prospect is huge!"
About IGEL Technology
A world leader in thin client solutions, IGEL Technology helps organizations improve the agility, efficiency, and security of their virtual desktop and application delivery systems. IGEL produces one of the industry's widest range of thin clients, based on Linux and Microsoft Windows, allowing customers to access a broad spectrum of server-based infrastructures and applications. IGEL also offers a powerful and intuitive management software for easy deployment and administration of thin clients throughout any size organization. Partnerships with industry leaders like Red Hat, Citrix, VMware, and Microsoft ensure that IGEL provides the most up-to-date technology and trustworthy security to clients in industries that include Healthcare, Education & Research, Public Sector, Financial, Insurance, Retail, Logistics, and Manufacturing. IGEL has offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, the United States, Germany, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore and is represented by partners in over 50 countries worldwide.

From farm to wine to mapleBy KATHRYN EDDY
CORRESPONDENT | March 22,2013CAMBRIDGE Boyden Valley Winery and Spirits, Vermonts first licensed winery, operates on the Boyden family farm in Cambridge. A dairy farm until 2000, it was purchased by the family in 1914, and theyve been working on it for four generations.
The Boydens have diversified, and different members of the family run different businesses on the farm such as Boyden Beef, the Barn at Boyden Farm for weddings and events, the winery and a 200-acre sugarbush for maple sugaring.
In 1996 David Boyden and his wife, Linda, who share a love of wine, embarked on what would prove to be a very rewarding and tasty endeavor that continues to grow. Shortly after opening their winery, they were followed by a couple more, and now Vermont has 15 open to the public.
In 2010, Boyden Valley added and Spirits to its name when it introduced its Vermont Ice Apple Crème liqueur, a blend of cream, its own Vermont Ice Cider and apple brandy. In December it added another liqueur to the lineup, Vermont Ice Maple Crème, a blend of maple syrup, apple brandy and cream.
This weekend, when the states sugar makers host their annual Vermont Maple Open House Weekend, Boyden Valley will hold its own Maple Sugar Festival featuring free sugar on snow, syrup sample tasting and winery tours, as well as special wine and food tasting.
Vermont is hardly known for its grapevines; indeed, it took a few hybrid strains and some experimentation before Boyden Valley established the successful varieties it grows today.
Its a great agricultural growth for the state. It really is amazing its a crop that wasnt here before, said Bridget Jones, Boyden Valleys wine room manager and events coordinator.
They begin pruning in April or May and typically harvest in September.
Its a pretty short growing season overall, but the specific grape varieties are not only winter hardy to withstand our really cold, frosty winters, they do actually produce a lot faster than a normal grapevine would to accommodate that shorter summer, said Jones.
They are not going to be as bold or as full-flavored as a California grape would be for that same reason. Last year, we had a wonderful crop because we had such a long, dry summer, though it affected other crops negatively. The grapes loved it. So well have a lot more Vermont-grown grapes in our wines in the next couple of years, she added.
Frontenac, Sabrevois and La Crescent are all hardy to temperatures below zero and have been grown in Quebec and other northern parts of the U.S. La Crescent is a white variety; Frontenac and Sabrevois are red varieties. Boyden Valley is probably best known for its ice wines Vermont Ice Cider, Vermont Ice and Vermont Ice Red and these grape varieties allow it to leave the grapes on the vine until the first heavy frost and then harvest and press them frozen.
Red ice wines are relatively uncommon, and Boyden Valley makes the only Vermont ice red.
You really have to be in just the right climate to do a traditional ice wine. So theyre very popular in Germany where they originated, very popular in Canada and starting to grow in popularity in the northern U.S., said Jones.
The ice wines are concentrated, a lot like a cordial, and it takes a lot more to make less: A half bottle of an ice wine has five times as many grapes as a full bottle of regular wine. It takes 400 gallons of cider to make 60 gallons of ice cider.
Boyden Valley has 17 products to offer, the more popular of which are available in stores throughout Vermont.
We have a great selection. When people come in who say they arent wine drinkers, I tell them theres going to be something on the list that they will like. Weve got a variety of flavors from the very dry to the very sweet, and everything in between, said Jones.
Boyden Valleys fruit wines cranberry, rhubarb, blueberry, and apple-maple are made in a similar way to regular wines, pressed and fermented and aged.
The stainless steel tank that once housed the farms milk has been fitted for fermentation cycles and aging processes.
As Boyden Valley has expanded, oak barrels and more tanks have joined it in the 1875 carriage barn, which was refurbished about 20 years ago.
They really just tried to reuse as much as they could when they refurbished everything, said Jones. Were a small business, family-owned and -operated. And we try to stay as local as possible. Anything we dont grow on the property, we source from other local Vermont vineyards, orchards and berry farms first.
The Maple Sugar Festival is Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the winery, at the junction of Vermont routes 15 and 104 in Cambridge.
For more about Boyden Valley, go online to www.boydenvalley.com, email email@example.com or call 644-8151. The winery will soon be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering wine tastings, cheese plates, and wines by the glass or bottle.MORE IN Vermont NewsJames Jeffords called it his first vivid memory.

Richmond's City Council President wants to make sure the city's new stadium stays out of Shockoe Bottom. Then, he wants Squirrels Fans and Richmond residents to weigh in and vote.
At Monday night's city council, several people spoke out against building a new home for the Flying Squirrels in the Bottom. Some held up signs that read, "No stadium in Shockoe Bottom."
Now, their pleas have a good shot at being taken into consideration.
City Council President Charles Samuels proposed a referendum that says, the new stadium must be built within the area of the city bounded by Interstates 64 and 95 to the North, Hermitage Road to the East, West Leigh Street to the South and North Boulevard to the West. Essentially, the same place where the current stadium stands.
The proposed referendum is an answer the Mayor's supposed plan of moving the stadium to Shockoe Bottom. Sources have told NBC12 that plan is already in the works.
Flying Squirrels fans waiting to get into Monday night's game were adamant: don't move the stadium to the Bottom.
"It's home here on North Boulevard," said Marie Sinnott. "It's been here a long time and most people see it as a landmark."
"I think it's a bad idea to move it to Shockoe Bottom," said Ed Pierce. "There's no where to park, it's hard to get to. Plus, it's been here for years."
Residents also want to protect Shockoe Bottom's Historic Landmarks, especially those related to slavery. They say, the stadium will ruin them.
If enough people want it, the referendum will be on the November ballot. The first public hearing on the referendum is July First.

I am one of those people who can enjoy Christmas music all year long, and really the birth of Christ is an event to be celebrated continuously throughout the year. I gladly welcome the official Christmas time with the first Sunday of Advent tomorrow.
I expect this Christmas season to have some difference from others I've lived. Our home continues to be in disarray with remodeling projects. The job search continues, and that lends a certain dis-ease to celebration.
I'm finding it challenging to keep things sane as a family. As much as I love the holidays I always find myself behind and missing a few really important "details." I won't be sending cards this year! First time in---ever? I'll be happy to receive, but won't be sending.
We are paring down our gift-giving this year too. We have so much that we decided not to spend much on more stuff, but rather give what we have. Hope this is appreciated by those we love to give to!
If I could, I'd give the "Star of Bethlehem" DVD to everyone. That is the most lovely and wonderful story of God's plan written in the stars for the whole world to see, and throughout the ages of His creation. What a beautiful sign.
Must start the holiday baking. That won't change! I've got gingerbread in the oven right now, smelling scrumptious. (Thanksgiving leftovers are GONE)

Welcome Christmas!

Con, I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog and am mildly disappointed that you won't be sending out cards. Would you consider posting more photos of your family? Or asking each of them to take turns writing a blog entry? I would love to hear about Christmas from their perspectives.
Also, would you consider posting the books you've been reading this year in your household? I looked for the DVD you recommended. The Hennepin County Library system does not have it, but I'll keep searching. :) Danya

If furlough days caused a pay cut...
Original post made by Socrates on Mar 7, 2011
And if all teachers have a pay raise, then what will Measure E funds be used for?
Comments (11)
on Mar 7, 2011 at 8:17 pm
I guess that depends on whether you consider the furlough days a pay cut or not.
on Mar 7, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Many people have stated that furlough days are not a pay cut, so according to them no. But if you consider a pay raise to be an annual salary more that the previous year, then yes. However, (I think) the district can still implement up to 5 furlough days without union negotiations/approval.
But what ever way you look at it, your post is nice bait - no substance, no reason, let's just start a teacher bashing post.
on Mar 7, 2011 at 10:42 pm
I know a lot of people who have been forced to have "furlough" days - none of them teachers, but rather professionals working in the publishing industry, for the government, private sector...ALL of them consider it as a pay cut. If you earn less money than last year, that's a pay cut! And don't say, "but you have the day off". The work doesn't go away just because your agency/company/district/whatever says you are "furloughed".
on Mar 8, 2011 at 5:02 am
Our family had a vacation budgeted, until I was furloughed. Without the expected income, we just stayed home and pulled weeds instead. It was great fun. And I didn't have to work. I'm hoping to get furloughed again.
on Mar 8, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Sorry, A. That's a drag. Hope you get your vacation soon.
on Mar 8, 2011 at 5:42 pm
"However, (I think) the district can still implement up to 5 furlough days without union negotiations/approval."
If this is true, why isn't it in the budget??? Why are they cutting teachers jobs instead of doing this?
on Mar 9, 2011 at 8:53 pm
Hmmm...I wonder if maybe the numbers PUSD is presenting right now have anything to do with their parcel tax strategy. Nahh, can't be. Never mind.

PUSD can force 5 furlough days without union support. But that is going to cause huge problems between the district and the teachers. The district is not dumb - if they force the teachers, they will have an incredibly difficult problem on their hands. Teachers will stop volunteering for the extras (think talent show, after school support, you name it). The relationship will be strained and it will take years to repair.
Furlough days will have to go to a union vote. If it passes, everything is done. If it doesn't, then the district can force the issue. But it will be an awful school year.

Thanks for clarifying. Clearly it's much better to do this properly with everyone agreeing the best way forward.

if you know nothing about physics, DO NOT take this class. his lectures are interesting, but they do not prepare you for the tests. ruiz is a fun professor, but you will have to teach yourself all of the material.
How anyone could write a negative review about Dr. Ruiz is beyond me. He is truly one of the greatest professors I've had at UNCA, and I'm from a completely different major (meaning, I'm not a "science" person). He is very accessible, kind and interested in student learning. Plus! He provides the textbook - free of charge!
He is one of the best teachers at UNCA. He really loves to teach(and has been teaching the same classes forever) so he has it down to a science(no pun intended). He is down to earth and really understands students and how to make class fun and engaging.
makes himself accessible to you 12 hours of the day.. takes time from his life to make study groups and lab time and office hours to help you. he's fun and energetic and nice and approachable and i cant say enough nice things. i voted for him for best professor on campus.. you need to take his class sometime in your college career, ok
The best man on the face of the planet. He's made my entire college experience worthwhile; I would have already switched schools if not for him. I keep finding excuses to take his classes. I hope we stay in touch when I graduate. :') He's seriously the greatest professor ever, and he makes Physics (something I hated) really fun and easy to learn.<3
This guy is so much fun, and he brings a lot of fun to the topics. I can imagine myself learning any topic with him. The amount of effort he puts into providing extra resources for learning and extra chances to get help from him is completely staggering. No other teacher I've had puts as much effort and time into helping their students as he does.
AWESOME teacher, one of my favorite at UNCA!
Absolutely ridiculous. I took three years of actual math based physics in high school and loved it. We did actual labs (away form the computer screen!) and had to think for ourselves.. Ruiz.. does not channel this. He fancies himself more of a magician than a physicist and every single assignment involves his poorly designed website.
No doubt that he's an interesting guy and that his teaching style is geared to keep everyone on their toes. But IMO, he's a little too whimsical for his own good. Yelling and throwing things at students might impress some people, and certainly keeps you awake. But for some people, he's just obnoxious.
He let me borrow a yard stick to get a frisbee out of a tree. :)
absolutely amazing. he was totally interactive with students, and made hard subjects comprehensible. definitely worth taking him, even as an elective. The best professor I've had in college.
dr. ruiz is passionate about what he does and it comes across in his teaching. I have enjoyed his class and anyone that says it was too hard did not try at all. He explains stuff in class in a non-traditional visual way, hence the magic tricks and videos of his kids. Seeing a theory applied is an extremely helpful learning tool.
I am a physics alumnus from UNCA from about a million years ago. Anyone who doesn't think Dr. Ruiz is awesome is a moron. Physics isn't for everyone for sure. You have to be smart to be involved in physics and most people are idiots. Maybe that is the reason for some of the negative reviews. Dr. Ruiz is one of those you always remember.
i think people either love him or hate him. I personally tried to love him... but ended up hating him. the class is interesting and he keeps the attention of a huge group of people- but the tests are absurd and he is completely unhelpful if you are struggling. ..even if you are doing the work and studying.. and getting tutored. he's uninterested.
For such a hard obscenely hard subject, he does an ok job. He tries real hard to get you to relate. He's hilarious, cross Kramer and Doc from Back to the Future. HW is immense, but a large part of the grade. Exams are insanely hard, and there's a CUMULATIVE final!I don't think it's his fault; people who get physics should be physicists!
great professor. anyone who says that the class was hard or that he is not a good teacher obviously didn't try to even put forth any effort. he is very gifted and the class was absolutely one of the best one's i have had. Learn alot of physics as well as history of music and how music operates, whether its instruments or music in general. take him!
Horrible class...I did not learn anything at all. All you do is watch videos of him and his kids playing the piano. Who cares! He does not prepare you well for the tests and the homework assignments are pretty hard and long. DONT TAKE HIM!
far superior to any other prof
He is the best teacher ever. If someone tells you otherwise then they should be slapped with a 50 lb chain in the genitals.
I liked the class at first but after awhile I just hated going to it. He spends too much time on stuff you don't need to know and the stuff that's on the exams isn't in the book. Class gets annoying also because he shows you slides of art that have no relevance to what you're learning. I wouldn't recommend it and I won't take a class with him again

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

ACLU backs abortion protester cited for graphic poster
By The Associated Press
Printer-friendly page
CLEVELAND The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio is supporting a preacher in his lawsuit against an Akron suburb that stopped him from protesting abortion during a parade.
The ACLU usually argues on the other side of the anti-abortion movement, fighting bans on a late-term abortion procedure and restrictive parental consent laws.
"But when it comes to free speech, we take all comers," Raymond Vasvari, legal director in the ACLU's Cleveland office, told The Plain Dealer.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati accepted a brief from the ACLU last week. A three-judge panel will hear the case in August.
The ACLU's action caught the preacher, Mark Tatton of Cuyahoga Falls, by surprise.
"I'm shocked, totally shocked," he told the newspaper.
His case began with a protest at the Cuyahoga Falls Memorial Day parade in 1999.
Tatton, who is aligned with the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, walked the parade route with a placard that displayed an enlarged full-color photo of an aborted fetus.
Officer Gregory Kenepp confiscated the sign and cited Tatton for disorderly conduct after some onlookers became angry. The charges were later dropped, and the sign was returned.
Kenepp said he was worried that Tatton would be beaten up. He filed a written statement in the federal appeals court calling the fetus poster "very graphic, offensive, disturbing and disgusting."
Tatton is seeking about $600,000 in damages, saying his right to protest was taken away.
Last year, U.S. District Judge James S. Gwin of Cleveland dismissed Tatton's suit without a trial. He said Kenepp did the right thing because the sign was offensive and Tatton had provoked intense hostility from crowds watching the parade.
The anti-abortion sign amounted to "fighting words" and wasn't protected, Gwin said.
The ACLU argues that the officer's action was much like what happened to civil rights marchers in the South in the 1960s.
"This decision is truly dangerous because it allows the censorship of the mob enforced at the hands of the police," the ACLU said in its brief.
Cuyahoga Falls officials did not return calls for comment.
Tatton, 44, acknowledges he's a die-hard protester who likes to do more than talk. He says his goal is to stir up people with provocative signs tied to Christian religious beliefs.
He said that at a Barberton Labor Day parade in 1999, he was attacked by an onlooker brandishing a fire extinguisher.
This year, Tatton said, he'll start carrying a sign against Harry Potter books because he thinks they promote witchcraft.
"We may disagree with the sort of society Mr. Tatton would construct, but we support his right to say what he wants," Vasvari said.

This image was shot in Buenos Aires and was always a shot I liked. It was shot in a bad part of the town. I didn't know it at the time so I just shot images. I like the two brothers (I presume) siting on the cub waiting for something.
Tag Archives: street photography
You Gotta Love A Good SAle
I travel a lot and one of my favorite things to do is to walk the city streets and do street photography. One of my favorite cities for doing this is Copenhagen. It's a great city that is alive and offers amazing photo opps. This is a shot I made outside a store and shows their unique way of merchandising. I bet the sale they had was a big success. This is real block head marketing.
Chicago Bridge
Once again on one of my walk a bouts in Chicago I saw this image on a bridge in . Carefully lined it up and waited for the person to come into the frame. Do you like it? Kind of cool, It shows a lot about Chicago, old, new and lots of riveted steel and iron. Taken with a Phase One P65+. Yes you can do street photography with it.
Door Number ONE
I was having with my iPhone on a recent trip to Saugatuck, MI and stumbled upon this abandoned hotel. Each door was painted a different color. Someone with some imagination could thell this property had potential. I did some overall shots and panos but this shot floated to the top. Simple, the growth out from, door not centered. It just works.
Little Boy In A Window
It's fun to walk the streets with a camera. And this past weekend my camera of choice was the iPhone and using the Hipstamatic App. While it was fun I did miss my big boy cameras a few times. But it was an exercise to shoot simple, and see well. I came away with amazing images. This one was shot while walking the street of Holland, MI. I walked past this shop and they had hand painted big letters on the shop window. Sitting near the window was a couple and a cute baby. So I motioned if they could put the kids face in the hole of the letter and they did. I got three good shots. Like this one the best.
Mexican Doorway
Some of the coolest shots I have done are subjects in doorways. I did a shot years ago in Argentina of a boy eating a bag of chips in a doorway that is one of my mot popular prints. This image was made in San Miguel. Everything came together perfectly to balance the composition out. Street photography in San Miguel where this was done is just great.
San Miguel Alley
A month ago I lead a Phase One PODAS workshop to San Miguel Mexico. We had a blast and photographed a lot differently than we do at usual PODAS workshops. We did a lot of medium format street photography. This is an image I found in an alley that was also an above ground burial vault area. It was so very pretty and I could resist shooting and sharing this shot.
Man From San Miguel
I had a little fun last night. Couldn't sleep so I selected a shot I had on my iPad and played around with it. I liked the effect and so here it is. I am not usually an effect kind of guy, but sometimes one must play.
Rust and Peeling Paint
If you are a regular follower of this blog you will know one of my favorite things to photograph is rust and decay. This past Sunday I was out on a photo adventure and ended up in Bedford, IN. Interesting and typical small Indiana town. Not being satisfied with just Main Street I drove down a side road that eventually took us to an industrial part of town. It was very surreal. Big old gas tanks with rust and peeling paint, junk yards, abandoned factories. All very strange and somewhat scary. Today's shot was made of close ups of peeling paint on these giant fast tanks. I love the rust color and how the paint is curling as it peels off. I shot hundreds of these and they are all kind of beautiful in their own way.
It Was a Photo Sunday
Every now and then it is fun to go out and shoot on a Sunday. I set out with my photo buddy and friend Debra and set a target of Spring Mill State park. Never one to take the direct route I decided we would travel through some small Indiana towns. We visited a few towns but in Bedford, IN we made a right turn and just started driving and came into the industrial area of the town. Kind of creep and as I post more images you'll see why. I could do a whole photo story on this town. We started out photographing rusty gas tanks, then rotting doors, then we stumbled upon this gigantic junkyard and it looked very apocalyptic. There were old cards, machines, and thousand of old military howitzer rounds. Then we found giant abandoned factories and some very different neighborhoods. In one neighborhood as we crossed the tracks we see this pickup just sitting in the grass, an old swing set and a sign next to the railroad tracks. Behind us was a house with kids toys all over that sat only six feet from the tracks. I shot an image above with the signs, truck and swing and then decided to enhance it a bit to give more the feel for what I was seeing there. I'll be working on more images this week.
Woman In San Miguel
This has been an incredible week with the PODAS workshop. I head home today only to leave on Wednesday for Scotland. I tend to move around a lot. One of the things that is fun to do is shoot what we photographers term street photography and San Miguel is perfect for this. So much going on. This shot was made near the ATM machine of a woman who is obviously begging. You see this a lot in Mexico. Sad. I composed quickly got a few shots off and then made sure to give her some Pesos. The power is the face, and out reached hand. More images will be coning from this trip as I have time to work on them.
Doorways Of San Miguel
Kind of hard to blog when I am running a PODAS Photography workshop. I am leading a group of Phase One users on a PODAS workshop in San Miguel Mexico. We are having a great time with intensive photography excursions broken up with time for sharing, laughing and enjoying our passion of photography. Visit the PODAS blog to follow everything that we do on this workshop. I'll do my best to add entries when I can. Todays image is a doorway of a church outside of San Miguel.

Officials with the Kingstree Police Department say they are searching for a person who was spotted carrying a gun near a school.
Chief Eric Williams says Anderson Primary School on 500 Lexington Avenue was placed on lockdown for about an hour after witnesses reported a person carrying a "long gun" near the school.
Williamsburg County School Superintendent Yvonne Jefferson-Barnes said around 11:10 a.m., three young men were seen at the corner of Lexington and Anderson streets. Jefferson-Barnes said a district staffer saw one of the men with what appeared to be a long gun, and called the principal.
The school was then placed on lockdown.
Williams says his department as well as the Williamsburg County Sheriff's Office is searching the area for the suspect.
According to Williams, the lockdown at the school was lifted at 1 p.m.

Some suggestions on how Memphis can beat LA, from some guy in Sydney.
An encouraging start to the road-trip led to Memphis winning their first back to back games this season, both coming on the road. Yes, it was against the Lakers, yes it was against the Kings, but both were fairly encouraging wins, but most importantly, the defense of the Griz seems to have returned. Hopefully all the creases for the Griz can be fixed/altered in time for the Clippers and Warriors (then the Spurs and Rockets).
Pick and Roll Defense
The Clippers offense starts with the pick and roll, and with the maestro CP3 running it, there are numerous options. It comes down to a case of picking your poison, in whether the big man should pressure the ball handler coming around the screen, or whether they should sag off and protect the paint. Memphis pressured the Lakers well, and sagged off the Kings (worked well except on Isaiah), so let's look at the example of the Thunder (lost) and Magic (won), and how they defended the Clipper pick and roll.
On the play above, Ibaka steps up to pressure CP3, who feeds Blake nicely. Although I hate him, Blake is a great passer (3.3 assists/game), and because the Thunder wings have stayed on their shooters he feeds Deandre.
For the easy dunk.
On this play, Adams steps up and CP3 drives past him easily, finishing uncontested at the hoop as the shooters as well as Ibaka have stayed home on their men.
The Thunder stayed home on their men effectively, (6-16 from three) but that's only half the job. For a team that ranks second in the NBA in assists (mainly due to CP3's 12 at the moment), you need to shut down the passing lanes to the big men as well. In this game, the Clips had 30 assists and were +15 on the boards, both causes of the big men coming out to pressure the ballhandler
The Magic played the Clippers really well in all facets, and I'll make my earnest attempt to show you why, and how the Grizzlies can emulate them. With two slower big men, similar to Marc and Z-bo (Vucevic and Maxiell) Orlando had their bigs sink back into the paint on pick and rolls, forcing mid range jumpers from the Clippers. More effort could have been put in by the guards at recovering over Deandre and Blake's big bodies, but overall it was an effective strategy.
Here, you can see Vucevic fading from the Pick and Roll to stop penetration, whilst all the defenders are staying home on their man. Deandre is stopping Jameer from recovering effectively, but CP3 has to settle for Blake mid range J which he makes. Obviously this method isn't flawless, but was effective with starting lineups, and reduced the pick and roll to two main options, a Blake or CP3 mid range jumper.
Blake's and CP3's shot charts respectively. Chris is quite effective pulling up going left, whilst Blake clearly prefers that side of the court more, for both posting up and shooting. I believe that although they can make these shots, they're the ones the Griz want the Clippers to take, rather than an easy feed inside to one of the big men. For the record, The Magic held the Clippers to 21 assists, 37% FG and 16% from deep.
Pressuring Curry coming off screens worked against the Warriors, and this method also worked well against the Lakers, but CP3 is more of a pass first point guard, and definitely not the shooter that Curry is. The big men need to step up defensively by stepping down, and not get run around trying to recover to their men. This will also help them on the boards, as they'll be closer to home and should be able to track the Clippers in for box-outs.
Help Defense
Before I get into this, I think TA should be given the assignment of guarding CP3. If he doesn't start fouling unnecessarily, it will save Conley chasing him around all game, but also Tony should thrive in the challenge of physically fighting over screens and competing with Chris and his little "let you get in front of me so I can elbow you" move. I'd have Conley on JJ, but could potentially move him onto the recently passive Dudley (6 shot attempts a game), as the Magic did here.
Now, having TA on CP3 should stop the over-helping issue he's been having, as Chris likes to have the ball in his hand. I think Quincy and Jerryd will need to have good games defensively in staying home on shooters (Tay and Miller may be too slow) for the Griz defense to succeed.
Look how tight these defenders are on their man! Griz need to try and emulate this.
Other Miscellaneous Suggestions
-Foul the **** outta Deandre if he gets this close (Come to the Grizzlies Afflalo!)
-Have Marc play Griffin one on one defensively, and hopefully he forces more 360 spin hook shots.
I mentioned this in my last post, but the Grizzlies can't over commit on the offensive boards as they have been doing. If Zach has established position or the ball isn't coming your way Grizzlies, GET BACK ON D! Having multiple Clippers compensate for Zach will slow down the pace, but a more consistent way to slow down the leagues 8th fastest offense is to just to get back into your defensive set early.
Wonder why Deandre and Blake are averaging so many boards so far this season…… (everyone's hustling to get back and stop the transition)
Just to further demonstrate how deadly they are in transition, its not only lobs, but quick screens for quick plays, how the hell are they completely set and CP3 has already come around a screen within 4 seconds???!
The Clippers really aren't the best defensive team, but the Grizzlies need to take advantage of the inside match-up they have over the Clippers. If they put Blake and his T-rex arms on Z-bo, go through Z-bo, otherwise run the majority of the offense through Marc. Running wings off screens is effective against the Clippers as Dudley and JJ aren't the most aware players on that end.
Caught snoozing on a backdoor cut to the basket.
Give and go's with Marc and our wings have worked fairly well so far, but the chemistry between he and Zach should shine in this game (fingers crossed). The hi and Low offense they have been running well lately is perfect to combat Deandre and Blake who don't seem to like contact, and the multitude of bigs on our pine should run over the backups of Mullen, Hollins (?) and Jamieson (??). Furthermore, penetration and kick outs from straight line drives seemed to work well for the Magic, and should be an avenue explored throughout the game.
Shortening the rotation has worked wonders for the Grizzlies lately, and should be continued if all is going well. However, if the offense starts to collapse I think Calathes rather than Bayless could be great against the Clippers, as he penetrates well and seems to have 360 degree vision. Having him play with Conley, who could slash and cut to his desire would open up new opportunities inside for the Griz.
As a further note, the Clippers will most likely go small at some point, and if Zac or Koufos is struggling defensively and not dominating offensively, Ed should be freed. He's defended stretch fours surprisingly well, and if he commits to attacking the paint and grabbing boards, could help combat the Clippers lineup possibilities.
Quick Blueprint
- Big men : protect the paint (allow the mid range)
- Big men : this should help dominate defensive glass
- Wings : stay home!
- Everyone : Don't go all out on offensive boards, GET BACK ON D!
- Off ball cuts, hi low offense (run it through Marc)
