A VCU vs. Drexel Game could not end any other way :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Nice game way to pull it out 3 pt buzzer... :x
The top 6 in no particular order are tough- who will be the first to pull off the big away win? Mason had their chance at ODU..
I really wish you were one of our permanent partners instead of W&M. I can't wait another year to get you guys again. Great game.
Keep Bruiser!!!
Well we ended the game in horrible fashion after playing most of the game pretty well. But the finish is what counts and we won. Drexel is always tough and it ended like most VCU DU games end. Really nice to see Nick come up big as well as BA. Dixon had a couple of nice baskets for us too. I think this has been a hard week for us. We will have time to settle down before the JMU game. Hopefully that will be a good lead in to the ODU game.
VCu played well tonight except for the final 3:59 seconds. the final second is what got us the win.
Anyone listen to the post game press conference. Bruiser mention reading Packetts column on tonights game, which I'm sure Packett is gleeful about. but bruiser said, [after reading your column about how poor of a team they were] in regards to the GMu game. Glad Packett is on our side, whew :roll:
We need this rest. I think practice Mon-Wed will be helpful.
The REAL college sports season starts in November!
Packett is on our side?
Flagship baby, flagship.
I used the " :roll: " after I said it. Sarcasm of course.Originally Posted by BaNgMyPrOgRaM

It was a 2 pointer.
I read the story this morning. F Packett. He's a UR guy. He's hopin' Capel leaves.
We didn't play very smart after we got it to 60-50. Missed a lot of foul shots, didn't box out and allowed alot of offensive rebounds. Drexel misses two FTs and what do we do? Give up the rebound.
Nevertheless, we played well most of the game, played good defense and pulled out the win.
Sh!t Brad! that was your post?
gotcha now :!: sarcasm!!
my bad
Go RAMS!
Beat Dukes!
Flagship baby, flagship.
Capel mentioned in the post game that he is really looking forward to getting back to practice on Monday....with all the traveling they haven't had much time to work on certain areas of the game.
With three days of practice we should be ready for JMU on Thursday!
Nec Aspera Terrent
RB I hope so!

Streetwalkers, as prostitutes who ply their trade on streets are known in China, are reportedly doing good business in Beijing's embassy district, even the men in women's clothes, reports the local Beijing Times.
An undercover reporter for the paper was approached by "Rongrong" near the Yansha bridge in Beijing's Chaoyang district, set against the backdrop of foreign embassies. The woman offered 200 yuan (US$33) for sexual intercourse, whereupon the reporter was ushered to a small park nearby. Condoms littered the ground.
Rongrong quickly explained that the chances of getting nabbed by the police are even greater if they went indoors. The reporter complained of the cold weather and bailed out of the deal, only to found out later from other prostitutes in the area that Rongrong is actually a man. In fact, among the more than 20 streetwalkers strolling the embassy district, four of them are male.

Now that the season is over and all the numbers are in, this year like most other years was riddled with some amazing individual accomplishments. We could go with ALOT of steelers for this category like Ben's career low 5 int's, Wallace's 21 YPC average, Timmon's stat line; 135 Tackles, 3 sacks, 2 int, 2 FF 9 PD ( thats borderline Patrick Willis ) or the obvious Troy and Deebo for thier Defensive MVP level of play this year .
I do think there were a few players with more impressive numbers than what our players have posted this season. In terms of statistics, and the player's supporting cast to accomplish the feat, which of the following do you think is more jaw dropping?

Life is full of contradictions.

I work in an organization that is very metric-driven. During my quarterly meetings, data is king. My employees provide me with reports on their projects, and in turn I analyze their reports to present to the executive team.

Top baby name trends for 2013
Will we be deluged with a bunch of Baby Christian Greys?
With the recently released list of top baby names of 2012, we got to thinking ahead for the year to come. What's in store for us in 2013? Will there be an onslaught of Baby Katnisses, or perhaps Baby Biebers? We turned to the experts at Nameberry.com, who put together their best predictions for the coming year. Here's what they're guessing will be the big name-themes for 2013:
1. Biggest Big Picture Trend: Ancient Names
Movies like The Hunger Games have thrown to-be parents into naming frenzies with old-world gods/goddess-inspired monikers. Names like August, Maeve, Persephone, and yes, even Thor, are expected to be popularized next year.

2. Most Surprising Name Inspiration: Superstorm Sandy
No, people aren't likely to name their babies after horrible forces of mass destruction. That said, history shows that due to the repetition of the word 'Sandy,' we are more likely to use 'S' names and those with similar sounds, such as Sand, Sam, Alessandra, and even Storm.
3. Trend Most Likely to Cross the Ocean: Lionine Names
Names like Leo and Leon are popular in Europe and are expected to become more so, here in the US. Leopold or Leona, anyone?
4. Coolest Middle Name Trend: Non-name Names
The idea of using a word as a middle name, as opposed to an actual name, is a concept revered by celebs, who've given their babies middle names like Ballerina and Bear. We just hope nobody else goes with 'Hashtag,' like this couple. Please, just...please, no.
More on MSN Living: Most popular kitten and puppy names
5. Hottest Trend Inspired by a Celebrity: Meaningful Place Names
Reese Witherspoon and her hubby went with 'Tennessee' for their baby boy - the birthplace of Reese's mother - which we love. Then there's Paris Jackson, or Chris Hemsworth's daughter, India. Wonder if anyone will go with Baby Saskatchewan?
6. Newest Retro Trend: Midcentury Nicknames
The popularity of Mad Men has driven an increase in 'grandma/grandpa' type retro names, like Hank and Hal. We sort of love Baby Minnie, ourselves.
7. Ethnic Name Group Most Likely to Rise: Scandinavian
Could the popular Siri, of iPhone fame, have inspired a rise in Scandinavian options for the coming year? It's possible, say the folks at Nameberry. They also suggest others such as Kai (a favorite of any Lego Ninjago fan), Astrid, Magnus and Axel.

8. Name Trend That's Jumped the Shark: Double L Names
Names that have a double-L sound, such as Lily, Lila and Lola may indeed be passé for 2013. We won't be too upset if baby Lollipop doesn't trend.
9. Freshest Botanical Names: Wildflowers
Out with Rose, in with Poppy. We love the trend toward fresh wildflower names, also including Clover and Thistle. Just steer clear of Baby Ragweed, expectant parents, and we'll all be ok.
10. Coolest Direction in Naming: North
Seasonal names are big, especially those with a cooler edge, like Winter, Snow, and Frost, particularly as middle names.

Konami has officially unveiled the release of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for the Playstation Vita in Japan. The game will feature HD graphics for both Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 (of course!), utilize the Vita's touch controls, and is set to launch on June 28th.
Unfortunately, there's no news yet on whether or not the US will get the previous version of the HD package they were offered, which includes Peace Walker on top of 2 and 3. In Japan, the original HD set only included 2, 3, and a PSN code for 1. Come this Summer, fans will have two ways to play Metal Gear Solid 3 on the go!

Pontypool Jazz Festival cancelled
11:10am Wednesday 15th August 2012 in News
ALL THAT JAZZ: Jazz singer Ben Jenkins with the band The Good Life performing at the Pontypool Jazz Festival two years ago
THOUSANDS of music lovers will be left disappointed this year as the ever-popular Pontypool Jazz Festival has been cancelled due to a lack of funding.
After 13 successful years since its launch in 1999, Torfaen Council have announced they cannot afford to host the event this year.
The festival usually takes place on the first weekend in September and attracts visitors from across the borough and beyond including visitors from Pontypool's twin town Longjumeau in France. As well as attracting a host of established acts the festival allowed young local musicians to showcase their talent.
Gary Stone of Pontypool Jazz, a group formed in 2008 to promote jazz and live music in Pontypool, said: "Pontypool Jazz Festival is a wonderful event which everyone in Pontypool and the surrounding areas looks forward to each year and enjoys. I can't understand why the council couldn't come up with the funding. Hopefully it will be able to carry on next year."
Leader of Pontypool Community Council Cllr Dave Leek said: "I am very disappointed that Pontypool Jazz has been cancelled, every effort should have been made to at least have a smaller event to try to keep it going. When an event is cancelled altogether it is that much harder to rejuvenate it. Torfaen County Borough Council had not approached the Community Council directly or via the Jazz organising committee and we may have been able to offer some additional funding."
A spokesman for Torfaen council said: "We are disappointed to have taken the difficult decision to cancel this year's Pontypool Jazz Festival, however it is one of the many tough choices that local authorities are having to make during this current economic climate.
"We are keen to see the festival return next year, so officers are starting the process of reviewing the situation and the way the event is staged."
Support goes on for the big event
DEPUTY head of service for Gwent Music Support Service Paul Hornsby said: "The Greater Gwent Youth Jazz Orchestra have performed at this fantastic festival every year. The festival has always been very well organised and has given audiences the opportunity to hear interesting and diverse programming from both local and international artists and ensembles.
"It had become an important and prestigious event on the local and national calendar. It has done a great deal to raise not only Torfaen's profile but also that of South Wales.
"I genuinely hope the Pontypool Jazz Festival can somehow be reinstated."

It takes treble the effort and organisation to re-start any event after it loses its annual impact, so come on Mr Wellington, if you are genuine about the regeneration of Pontypool, then funding of this event is a drop in the ocean of your coffers,
The town is losing the status of its famous rugby team and on top of that this great event is being tossed to one side.
I wonder if the council wants Pontypool open for business or are they simply acting as mourners at the wake of the town?

Take Brecon Jazz last weekend, only a few Jazz names on the bill...mostly blues / pop music........no wonder the event is dying. There were more cars than people on the streets of Brecon @ 7pm last Sunday....shame really but that event also seems doomed to fail from appalling management.
To look at this in a postive way, it could be a chance to develop a new festival with a more diverse range of music, something for everyone rather than just jazz fans.

Strange for an ex-newspaperman, but I sympathise with Torfaen council on this one. As the Argus music critic and a freelance writer for Jazz Journal, I'm well aware that without taxpayers' money, many of these events wouldn't exist. Jazz is curious in being something everyone in the world knows about but only a minority actively support. A few years ago, I was one of five people listening to the wondrous saxophonist Don Rendell at the Bass Clef club in London. (Another of the five was playwright Willy Russell. There's namedropping for you!). For these reasons, private sponsorship for jazz festivals is hard to come by. Many of those willing to sponsor believe jazz means Kenny Ball and Glenn Miller, and want some populist slant to anything they support. Jazz fans themselves are a strange component of this funding crisis, too. Many of them are content to listen to their record collection instead of getting off their bums and buying tickets for live events. I'm often one of them, though I usually have my excuses, the main one being that if I attended everything I'd be out every night and heading for the divorce court. Let's bide our time. Pontypool Jazz will be back, just as the currently struggling Brecon Jazz Festival will return to something resembling its international status. These are hard times; jazz lovers can't be exempt from the pain.

There's a lot in what Boris and Uomo senza nome (call me 'Mo') say, but there's also a lot of misconception flying around about Pontypool, Brecon and jazz festivals in general. Free street entertainment would always have been a feature of Brecon had it not been regularly hi-jacked by local mentalists who looked at you glassy-eyed after just a gulp of Old Peculiar. Jazz, like strong drink, they did not do. I remember leading a few of the youngsters deemed necessary for ensuring the future of jazz audiences through a Saturday-night miasma in Brecon that resembled something from a Hogarth cartoon except that when not remaining prostrate the bodies rose up and ran at you for disturbing their cider-fuelled peace. Unseemly. It wasn't jazz's fault but jazz was tainted by association. Jed Williams just shrugged when I told him that unless something were done to herd these unspectacular lushes off the broadwalk, the police would move in. They did, with catastrophic results. Jed was a one-off. I cannot go into the financial machinations that led to Brecon's international status; suffice to say that the festival inevitably ran aground and had to be rescued by that herald of sobriety, the Hay Festival, which made a fist of giving it the dignity, if not the riotous colour, it once possessed. Before the Hay people moved in, what was going on while doe-eyed jazz buffs were dreamily listening to big stars from America was a fiscal disaster waiting to happen.
Good management at Pontypool? I thought the festival was well run, all things considered. Sponsorship and 'a firm grip' on management? 'Firm grip' usually means prudence and without risk-taking you won't attract anyone of note; sponsorship is spoken of as though it's out there waiting to be lavished on events that attract just a few stragglers.
As for the middle-aged (and the elderly, as it happens), without them jazz festivals would be dead in the water. The young today are not real, they're virtual. To most of them outside London, jazz is the music of bearded fogeys; and young jazz musicians just incomprehensible and peculiar fogeys-in-waiting.
I'm insanely devoted to jazz but I know it'll always be a minority culture, one predicated mostly on the past. Meaningful sponsors (the ones who've heard of Von Freeman) don't expect to make a return on their investment; they hope to attract a musician they'll otherwise not be able to see live. If it's Herbie Hancock, droves will gather; if it's Siobhan Lamb, there might be forty others, if that. You've all heard of Freeman and Lamb, of course. Last year I attended a couple of Pontypool events where I was one of eight in the audience, six after the interval. There must have been other gigs like it in addition to those reasonably well-supported. There's just no accounting for jazz fans and what they want. Every one's an expert. Every one could run Brecon and Pontypool. Let them try. I'll wager they'll be vilified, disenchanted and broke in two years.
Ronnie Scott had the fans summed up - they're dead people smoking beyond the bandstand. Jazz is really a concatenation of illustrious musicians with the garrulously comatose in tow. It takes a brave woman, or man, to whip them into festival shape. Until the 'fans'put their own house in order, local authorities, with other more urgent priorities, are not going to bend at all, let alone over backwards.

Carrying on what's becoming a team tradition, Detroit Red Wings defenceman Niklas Kronwall will serve as the grand marshal for Sunday's Quicken Loans 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.
"We are thrilled to welcome Niklas Kronwall to the MIS festivities," MIS track president Roger Curtis said. "Niklas is an integral member of the Red Wings and the Detroit community who represents the state with pride."
Kronwall will give the traditional command of "drivers, start your engines," prior to Sunday's race, just as Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard did at last year's race, calling the command in conjunction with his father James Howard II, to celebrate Father's Day.
Former Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom one-upped both of them in 2010, when he drove the pace car at MIS during the annual June race, then known as the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400.
Kronwall won't be the only Michigan-area celebrity taking part in Sunday's race festivities. Swimmer Tyler Clary, like Kronwall an Olympic gold medallist, will serve as honourary starter for the Quicken Loans 400, waving the green flag to get the race underway.
While Kronwall won a gold medal in hockey with Sweden at the 2006 Turin Winter Games, Clary, a 24-year-old Olympian and three-time NCAA champion at the University of Michigan, won the gold medal in the 200-meter backstroke at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. He defeated fellow American Ryan Lochte in the final and broke Lochte's Olympic record of 1:53:94, finishing the event in 1:53:41.
Seth Gold, one of the stars of the Detroit-based television show Hardcore Pawn, will drive the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi pace car. Gold will lead the 43-car field to the green flag for the race, which begins at 1 p.m.
Gold, his father Les Gold and sister Ashley Broad are the stars of 'Hardcore Pawn', a show about the family-owned pawn business located on Detroit's Eight Mile Road. The show gives an inside look at the operations of American Jewelry and Loan, a pawn shop that first opened in 1978.
The Quicken Loans 400 is on Father's Day, so the entire Gold family will be at MIS to celebrate.
"It was fun meeting the Gold family and we're pleased they'll be our guests at MIS for the NASCAR weekend," Curtis said. "While our businesses aren't exactly the same, the Golds have a customer-focused and family-first philosophy that resonates with us at MIS. And Seth has a great marketing mind and he understands the power of NASCAR."
Gold is a 2003 graduate of the University of Michigan and has worked at American Jewelry and Loan since earning his degree. "Being born and raised in Michigan, I'm absolutely thrilled to be driving this Ford at the Quicken Loans 400," Gold said. "Roger and his staff have been great and I cannot wait to see be a part of the great NASCAR tradition at Michigan International Speedway. It's going be an awesome event."

Opinions by GamesBeat community writers do not necessarily reflect those of the staff.It just came out today that Titanfall, the critically acclaimed game by Respawn Entertainment, will in fact be an Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC exclusive for the life of the title. This means Sony fans won't be calling in their Titan when the title drops on March 11. It should be noted that this was not a decision made by Respawn Entertainment. In fact, Vince Zampella, the studio's boss, was amongst those who were surprised by the deal made by EA Games and Microsoft to retain exclusivity on Microsoft platforms. This is a huge blow for any Playstation fans who were expecting Titanfall to make its way over to the PS4 in the future. Although Playstation fans won't be seeing Titanfall initially, Vince Zampella has alluded to there being future Titanfall games on Sony platforms. Until then, purchasing an Xbox One probably just became a lot more tempting for a lot of people.

A Colorist's Perspective: Practical Comparisons of DaVinci Resolve and Apple Color
This is a guest post by Tristan Kneschke.
With the release of Apple Color several years ago, the once-niche field of high-end color grading trickled down to the average user. When Blackmagic released DaVinci Resolve on Mac it became more obvious that color grading was the next big wave. Having already been grading professionally with Color shortly after it was released, I quickly decided to invest in a traveling DaVinci Resolve Mac Pro tower. The client demand for color grading in particular, and a traveling station specifically, has grown my business at a rate I never thought possible. Now, with Resolve 9 nearing its official, non-beta release, Blackmagic has separated itself even more from Apple's killed product. More »

I've seen a pretty consistent theme around DN. A large majority of people seem to want to draft a Quarterback of the Future with the #12 pick. I say Pha-hooey. It seems like not that long ago that we were being impressed by Joe Webb staying cool under pressure, and tearing apart the Eagles defense.
My personal preference is to take O-Line help. Lord knows that we certainly need it. Then we could take out an insurance policy on Webb by signing up a veteran QB, such as Marc Bulger, Matt Moore, Drew Stanton, and Alex Smith. My personal preference would be Marc Bulger, who seemed to do well with the Rams when he was healthy. Bringing in a more experienced QB like that could also provide competition for Webb, which I think would be a great thing.

I have not upgraded my trial of Amazon Prime to a fully paid-up subscription. I am not to be seduced by no postal charges or the instant gratification of the buy-with-1-click button. Why not? Because a one month trial has taught me what I knew already – that I would be unable to say no. Ladies and gentlemen may I present to you, as an alternative to that other longlist doing the round this week, Lizzy's Amazon Prime dozen.
A bookpile which if I say so is more balanced and rounded than the actual man booker list even if 10 of the 12 aren't in the running for the prize! However my interest in these new purchases has been gloriously subverted by Portillo and Co.
Say what you will about the Man Booker longlist – and many have – it is a list with more appeal than for many a year. I can see myself reading them all …. eventually. Accessible too. For a start, the library has 9 of the 13. I hope they'll acquire the two yet to be published. With two in hand, the two lying proudly on top of the pictured bookpile, I'm looking forward to participating in some of the many blog discussions over the next couple of months.
As I haven't read any of the 13, it's too early to predict the final outcome. However, if I were to award the prize to the novel with the most intriguing title, it would go to Mohammed Hanif's "A Case of Exploding Mangoes", which I'm reading and finding quite unputdownable right now. More later in the week, no doubt.

CBS Hypes: Obama on Same Side as Tea Party on Budget Cuts
On Thursday's CBS Early Show, senior White House correspondent Bill Plante seized on a rare instance in which the Obama administration and conservative members of Congress happened to agree on a single budget cut: "It's not very often that the Obama administration finds itself on the same side as Tea Party Republicans when it comes to spending."
The spending in question was funding for the production of jet engines for F-35 fighter aircraft. As Plante described it: "Defense Secretary Gates and the President say it's not necessary. And so do fiscal conservatives." He also noted that cancelling the project was "a defeat for House Speaker John Boehner....Part of it would have been made in his district." The on-screen headline read: "Budget Battle; GOP Fiscal Hawks Torpedo Boehner Pet Project."
News reader Jeff Glor introduced Plante's report by claiming the cut was "a budget win for the President." Neither Glor nor Plante described it as win for the Tea Party or conservatives.
Instead, Plante went on to tout liberal criticism of other cuts proposed by the GOP: "Republicans are trying to cut as much as $100 billion, targeting everything from funding for public broadcasting....to funding for the new health care law." A clip was played of Democratic Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey declaring: "Republicans have tilted the fiscal scales in favor of big oil at the expense of Big Bird." That was followed by a clip of new White House Press Secretary Jay Carney proclaiming: "...we cannot support arbitrary or irresponsible or deep cuts that undermine our ability to grow the economy."
The only Republican sound bite in the story was that of Florida Congressman Tom Rooney speaking out against the F-35 engine project in Boehner's district, no Republicans were featured criticizing the President's budget proposal.
Here is a full transcript of the February 17 segment:
JEFF GLOR: On Capitol Hill, another budget battle. The House begins its third day of debate on this year's federal spending bill. Yesterday, a budget win for the President, with some unlikely help. CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante has details on that. Bill, good morning.
BILL PLANTE: Good morning to you, Jeff. That's right. It's not very often that the Obama administration finds itself on the same side as Tea Party Republicans when it comes to spending.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Budget Battle; GOP Fiscal Hawks Torpedo Boehner Pet Project]
The battle over this year's $1.2 trillion budget included a defeat for House Speaker John Boehner. He backed the F-35 engine program. Part of it would have been made in his district. But Defense Secretary Gates and the President say it's not necessary. And so do fiscal conservatives.
TOM ROONEY [REP. R-FL]: This isn't about parochial interests. For us standing here, this is about what we can afford, and what we cannot afford anymore.
PLANTE: It was one of a series of votes as the House tries to wrap up the spending bill to fund the government for the rest of this fiscal year. Republicans are trying to cut as much as $100 billion, targeting everything from funding for public broadcasting-
ED MARKEY [REP. D-MA]: Republicans have tilted the fiscal scales in favor of big oil at the expense of Big Bird.
PLANTE: To funding for the new health care law. Jay Carney, Mr. Obama's new press secretary, giving his first White House briefing, echoed the White House line.
JAY CARNEY: Without getting into specifics, I think that the President has made clear that he doesn't, you know, we cannot support arbitrary or irresponsible or deep cuts that undermine our ability to grow the economy.
PLANTE: The House could vote today on that spending bill, which keeps the government running through early March, but the Senate isn't likely to take it up until next month, and not likely to go along anyway. That means the government could shut down unless, of course, they agree to put temporary funds in there to keep it going. It's what you could call business as usual. Jeff.
GLOR: Okay, Bill, thank you very much.

"...we cannot support arbitrary or irresponsible or deep cuts that undermine our ability to grow the economy."
EXCEPT, military spending actually can grow the economy and generate wealth. In this particular case, the alternate engine program has numerous side benefits. It directly lowers the overall long term costs of the F-35 program, ESPECIALLY down the road when the aging first run engines need to be replaced. Competition drives prices down. Second, in addition to operating the F-35 ourselves, we are also exporting it. Which means we could actually bring more money into the country with engines and parts, and that means more jobs AND reducing the trade deficit. Unlike infrastructure improvements, which can't be exported for obvious reasons, defense spending can actually create jobs and wealth through exporting weapons and parts to our allies. If it wasn't for the fact that Obama's budget is massively laden with enormous amounts of pork, in the name of investment and stimulus, it would be so much of an issue. Keep in mind that they were only asking about $450 million to continue the program. That's a drop in the bucket compared to the TRILLIONS of dollars of waste in Obama's budget. And these cuts DO undermine our ability to grow our economy.
While they claim Boehner was in the pocket of the developers of the second engine, you could just as easily suggest that the opponents of the program are getting kickbacks from the manufacturer of the primary engine. Once again, politics screws our military of having access to the best possible equipment.
As always, ineptitude, incompetence, and corruption have proven to be synonymous with politics as usual. The fact that Gates sees eye to eye with Obama proves how completely worthless and useless Gates actually is. The fact that fiscal conservatives in the GOP went along with it sickens me to no end. Unbelievable.
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

Can someone clear up a couple
Submitted by stratman on Fri, 02/18/2011 - 3:35am.
Can someone clear up a couple of questions I have about this post?
- Is this about cancelling the alternate engine development for the F-35? The alternate engine is being developed by GE Rolls Royce, which I thought was praised by the Obama Administration previously. If so, what is Obama going to give GE in exchange for throwing them under the bus (cause you know they're in his posse)?
- Is this about cancelling X number of Pratt and Whitney engines for the Lockheed Martin F-35 that are already or were to be ordered?
- How does this effect, if at all, Israel's order for F-35I's?
- Login to post comments
Strat, 1) Yes. This
Submitted by JoeBob on Fri, 02/18/2011 - 4:58pm.
1) Yes. This would cancel the finalizing of development of the F136, the GE/Rolls engine for the F-35. This will result in a short-term savings of between $1.8b-$3.0b dollars (depending on whether you believe GE's or Gate's numbers - the CBO has already said that Gate's numbers are incorrect). It would mean that in the future, 90% of our fighter platforms will be powered by P&W engines to the potential tune of $100b over the next 30 years. It is unclear whether GE will get anything in return (it seems that it won't be fighter engine contracts, since the F-35 will be the air platform for the next 30 years).
2) Any cancelling of P&W engines, primarily because of decisions not to purchase as many F-35 airframes, has been because of a rising per-unit cost of the F-35. The government decides not to purchase as many to save money as development costs over-run, which in turn raises the per-unit cost even more, since the per-unit cost covers not just the production cost of the unit, but the amortized development cost of the program. As the cost rises higher, potential foreign buyers may drop out.
3) I do not believe Israel's order will be affected by the cancellation of the F136, although it may be affected by the rising per-unit cost of the JSF. Other foreign clients, however, particularly F-35 building partners like the UK, Netherlands, and Italy, have expressed dissatisfaction with work share, tech transfer, and maintenance issues for the F-35, which could affect their participation and platform buys. The UK, as the US's only tier-1 partner for the F-35, was very critical of the US's unilateral decision to cancel the F136 (while Rolls has a share in the P&W venture, specifically the STOVL portion for the F-35B Marine version, it does not approach the 60/40 split they have with GE on the F136).

Thank you for the clarifications, JoeBob. I wasn't sure I was enamoured with GE trying to force their way into the process anyways. Still, competition can be a very good thing... depending on who's paying for it.
My thought is either GE couldn't get it together and was going to bow out, or it was becoming too expensive and time-consuming to continue for the DoD. Regardless of the reason(s), it all came down to what would make Obama look good. In the end, Obama chose the public disclosure of fiscal responsibility. Whether or not GE gets anything in return for being good soldiers in the Obama Corps(e), it will be interesting what happens with GE CEO Jeff Immelt as the new leader of Obama's President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. Maybe this was the price for Immelts' fealty to Lord Obama. The timing fits.
I would think that the stealth characteristics of the F-35 will be desirable for the israelis even if they have to pay more as long as they are satisfied with what custom systems can be implemented. I also expect Obama to mess with the Israeli's over their purchase.
Lastly, anyone else think a single air platform for all purposes isn't the best solution? I don't think we've done that since the days of the hot air balloon, and for good reason.

Submitted by JoeBob on Sat, 02/19/2011 - 2:11am.
I agree with you on the single platform issue. A platform that was extremely versatile was the F-16, but it wasn't by any means an air superiority fighter. That was what the F-15 was for. My thought is that the F-35 will be a similar platform (only stealthy), leaving the air superiority mission to the F-22.
What I have a bit of a heartache about is the fact that we've got a big bunch of foreign client/co-sponsers of this fifth-generation aircraft. Remember the big stink a few weeks ago when the Chinese J-20 rolled out with reverse-engineered tech from a stealth figher downed in Bosnia? So twenty year old tech is a danger, but we're just going to hand out current tech willy-nilly 'cause we didn't want to pay for it all ourselves? Some of our partners in this venture are the UK, Netherlands, Italy, Australia, and Turkey. Turkey? Remember how that worked out during the Iraq invasion?

I am not thrilled about it either. I did read that certain systems/aspects, such as satellite tracking of the aircraft?, will remain American proprietary info and be controlled by America. Still, giving stealth and the most advanced systems to the increasingly Islamifying Turkey??? Aren't they starting to cozy up with the Russians again?

A forward looking look-back on how we got here [if only…]
One year ago today, as we looked into the crystal ball to prognosticate on the future of the Suns franchise, we didn't like what we saw. The Suns looked to be a team in defeat, with an aged core, youth devoid of talent and athleticism, a group of middling players with bad contracts, and coming off a bad season. It seemed there was no hope in sight.
But with a flurry of activity, some bold moves and a little bit of creativity, the Suns managed to pull off one of the greatest turnarounds in history.
As we reflect on this amazing turnaround from your Phoenix Suns, we look back at all that has led us to the 2012-13 season and the hope of an NBA Championship!December 2, 2011:
In an unexpected move, Suns owner Robert Sarver inexplicably sells the franchise to a group of local investors named HubertDavisfor3 [HD3]. Sarver cited the move was prompted by his disgust for the recently agreed to CBA, and felt now was the time to get a maximum return from a sale "…considering how the small market owners like ourselves will no longer be able to rape fans wallets AND pretend to compete with super teams with deeper pockets and no regard to making profits." Sarver continued to say, "I will continue to be a die-hard Suns fan and will be there waving my foam finger until I die." Suns fans began plotting his death that very day!
In a statement made to the press, HD3 stated, "I want to thank Mr. Sarver for all that he has done with this franchise and I promise to spend every waking moment from this point forward to try and undue it!"
December 3, 2011:
Suns announce banning foam fingers.
They also announce the resignation of President of Basketball Operations, Lon Babby, and General Manager, Lance Blanks. In a statement, HD3 thanked Babby and Blanks for their incredible creativity and immense resolve in "managing to make Mr. Sarver's basketball decisions look good in comparison."
In an unprecedented swath of honesty, HD3 continued to say, "we were going to fire them, but we would have had to pay the remainder of their contracts. We preferred to force their resignations by threatening to sue them for damages resulting from their hiring. I thought we had a pretty substantial case and I suppose they did too, as they immediately resigned."
December 4, 2011:
Suns immediately announce the re-hiring of Steve Kerr as General Manager. "While some fans believed Kerr to be the architect behind the destruction of the core of their team, it was known behind the scenes that the men pulling the strings were Sarver and Mike D'Antoni." Stated HD3. "Kerr knows the game, is a keen judge of talent [except when it comes to twins] and really wanted to stay if not for the former ownership."
"I have decided to return to the Suns in particular, because I am getting sick of Marv Albert and my family doesn't really want me around as much. The other reason is that I can actually do my job now, without having a foam finger shoved up my [deleted expletive]!"
December 9, 2011:
Suns sign Grant Hill to a 2 year $10M deal. Hill, who had many suitors looking to sign him for one season, decided to stay with the Suns, and the franchise finally paid him for the value he brings as a solid starter and only defender on the team. "Grant is obviously an incredible value at that amount or even a little more, considering we were paying guys more than that to sit on the bench, or worse, go into the game and not even attempt to play defense and turn it over at a high rate."
Suns also waived G/F Vince Carter. A flurry of teams then began their bid to overpay a guy that will probably mail it in [or "air" mail it in].
Suns then announced they would not seek to use their amnesty waiver that season. In a statement made to his wife, Josh Childress stated, "those sons of b1tch3s, I was really hoping on collecting two paychecks without ever having to sweat!" In response, Mrs. Childress retorted, "Josh, I thought you went to Stanford. Didn't they teach you how to read? If you look at the amnesty provision, it clearly states that you go through a waiver process where a team can claim you and they pay a portion of your salary, while the Suns pay the rest. They don't double pay you!" To which Childress said, "B1tch, nobody in their right mind is going to bid on me off the waiver when they can wait and sign me afterward. Then I get double checks. Bam! Take that community college groupie ho!" [BTW, that was a joke, I have no evidence to how Josh talks to his wife, or even if he is married – calm down!]
Mickael Pietrus tweets "I am picking up my option!!!!" The entire universe states "No Sh1t Sherlock!"
Baron Davis is released by Cleveland through Amnesty and Suns successfully bid on his services for a one year deal at $5M. While not affecting their cap space, Cleveland will pay Davis the remainder of his previous contract. HD3 stated "Baron has incredible value as a guard that can create for himself and others, and finally allow Nash time to rest at points in the game. We see him playing alongside Nash and filling our need for scoring at the 2. This helps us immediately, preserves cap room for 2012 and will certainly result in quite a few hilarious Youtube videos from him and Nash."
December 10, 2011:
Suns announce a major trade that shocks the basketball world. In an example of either a completely insane owner [like Gilbert Arenas], or a mad genius, Suns trade Hakeem Warrick, Josh Childress and Aaron Brooks for Gilbert Arenas and his monstrous contract, and Orlando's 2012 1st round draft pick.
What was interesting in the deal was Brooks, as he had signed in China and had no out-clause. The Suns were able to give him his qualifying offer and managed to get Brooks to agree to sign the deal in order to be included in the trade [Brooks was willing as he would get paid even for not showing up].
In a separate deal, but really as part of this deal, the suns traded Amare Stoudamire's trade exception to Orlando for Brandon Bass, allowing the Suns to acquire Bass and his $4m deal.
Orlando saw this as a great opportunity to unload Arenas and his $62M owed him without using their amnesty waiver on him. The Magic instead used their amnesty on Hidayet Turkoglu, wiping out the 22.8M owed to him over his final two seasons, clearing an enormous amount of cap space in order to entice free agents to keep Dwight Howard in Orlando. For Orlando, because the deal immediately sliced just over $20M off Orlando's cap numbers, helping them go from luxury tax payer to $4M under the cap, and saving them about $2 million after combining all the components of the deal, even after paying Turkoglu, the Magic found it was worth taking on a few lower level bad contracts and parting with Bass and their first round pick.
Immediately after the trade was approved by the league, the Suns announced that they would use the amnesty provision on Gilbert Arenas. Essentially, ownership decided that the only way out of the mess Sarver put them in was to buy their way out. "Basically, we looked to find a way to acquire a highly paid player from a team that was so desperate to move, they would take back multiple contracts and give us something of value in return. Orlando was a perfect match, as they had multiple high salary players, were into the luxury tax, needed to clear space for keeping Howard and were desperate. We end up paying $67M to unload our garbage and found two assets in the bottom of the dumpster in Bass and their pick."
December 12, 2010
In an effort to shore up their roster and add another quality scoring guard for the short term, the Suns bid on amnestied player Michael Redd for a 2 year $8M deal [last year is a team option]. Redd had been a casualty of the Amnesty provision as he had struggled with injuries for some time and had a hefty contracting weighing on the Bucks.
With the Suns storied training staff, as well as a longer layoff due to the lockout, Redd saw an opportunity to get healthy and go to a team that needed his shooting touch. On an essentially one year deal, the Suns jumped at the opportunity, "While it is true Michael struggled a bit and may not have the explosiveness at his prime, he can still stroke it and is a veteran with a ton of experience. With baron on board, we do not need Redd to score 25 a game, because we feel that the combination of Redd, Nash and Davis gives us a lot of flexibility in our lineup and Redd's ability to spread the floor will cause problems for defenses," stated HD3.
March 1, 2012 [2 days prior to trade deadline]:
After a long season to this point, and several Twitter classics by Kevin Love such as "Their offer won't ever qualify!" and "if I have to stay here one more minute, I will kill Ricky Rubio!", Minnesota had no choice but to try and move Love prior to the end of the season. Prior to the trade deadline, the Suns sent Marcin Gortat to Minnesota for Kevin Love [unsigned] and Minnesota's 2013 1st round pick [unprotected]. At the time, Love was to be a restricted free agent at the end of the season, and trading Gortat, who had solidified himself as one of the better starting big man that season, for what might be a few month rental seemed a huge risk by Suns ownership. "We believe that once Kevin gets here and walks outside and sees hot women who are not bundled up in 15 layers of clothes, he will want to stay here and re-sign with us" said HD3.
March 2, 2012:
Kevin Love got off the plane, it was 72 degrees outside. Five hours later, Love agreed to a contract with the Suns [5 year $101M, starting at $17.4M].
"While Gortat was having an excellent season, averaging 18 points and 10 boards a game, all-star type numbers, and was a pretty good value for his contract, we saw an opportunity to get a guy that plays at a little higher skill level and is four years younger. While Love's defense may not be his strength, certainly he is the best rebounder in the league, has incredible feel for the game, can shoot out to the 3, and is a very good passer. His combination of toughness, skill and youth works very well with our core and we see him as a cornerstone to our franchise going forward," HD3 said in a statement.
In another move prior to the deadline, the Suns traded Robin Lopez and the expiring contract of Mickael Pietrus to Los Angeles for Steve Blake and the Lakers 2013 1st round draft pick [Top 25 protected – or 2014 1st round Top 15 protected]. "We were in need of additional help in our guard rotation and thought Blake is a quality backup at the right price. We gave up virtually nothing for him except a guy that has emotional problems and was going to be a RFA at the end of this season," said HD3. For LA, it unloaded a bit of salary for cap purposes and was worth what the Lakers considered basically a high second round pick, as they believed they would be in championship contention and their pick will be late in the first round.
June 30, 2012:
After a tumultuous offseason and numerous changes during the season, the Suns managed to finish the lockout shortened season with an impressive record of 38-28 and made it to the playoffs, where they were defeated in the second round by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
From signings and trades, the Suns re-signed Hill, added Davis, Redd and Blake to the backcourt, Love and Bass to the frontcourt, added three first round picks, unloaded Warrick, Childress, Lopez, and Brook and really only lost Gortat.
With all of that, it was evident to Steve Nash that things were looking good for the next two years to make a run at a championship, so he decided to re-sign with the Suns for an additional three years for $24M, a reduced amount from his previous contract, but enough to make him happy with staying and retiring here in Phoenix.
July 10, 2012:
The Suns 2012 draft was a busy time, with the Suns holding their own pick in the 2012 draft [19th], along with Orlando's 1st round pick [13th] and The Laker's 1st round pick [26th]. During the draft, the Suns decided to try and move up a bit by packaging the 13th and 19th pick to Boston for the 9th pick [Clippers pick], ultimately selecting John Henson out of North Carolina. "Boston felt they could get more value out of two players because of the depth in the draft. At the same time, we have enough cap room to sign two picks, but would find it difficult to take on three. HD3 claimed, "Additionally, we felt moving up allowed us to nab a guy that has great defensive promise to help shore up our frontline and plug in someone athletic, long and smart who can help Kevin on that end of the floor. " While Henson is in need to add strength and is not known for his offensive prowess, he clearly has the athleticism, length and timing to be an elite defender in a few years. "And while his offense is not touted, he clearly showed during his three years at UNC that he improved every year, adding turn-arounds, face ups and other moves on that end. We see him as a future Marcus Camby type, or even a little bit of Larry Nance." described HD3.
With their 26th pick, the Suns felt they got the steal of the draft, and possibly their point guard of the future in Scott Machado out of Iona. At 6-1, 190, Machado led the Gaels in both scoring and assists, in fact, leading the Nation in that category. Machado showed incredible court awareness and a knack for getting teammates involved, all while leading his team in scoring. "Scott is a consummate point guard in the mold of Chris Paul and Steve Nash. We certainly see him eventually becoming our starter and think he has an opportunity to become an all-star at some point in his career."
Going into the 2012-13 season, the Suns roster has been rejuvenated with talented youth, a mix of savvy veterans, and promising rookies, as well as an additional draft pick after the season. While they still have to decide whether to re-sign baron Davis, they still have a lot of options and some cap room to play with. Their roster and cap situation beginning the 2012-13 season looks like this:
Love - $17.4
Bass - $4.0
Hill - $5.0
Nash - $8.0
Frye - $6.0
Dudley – $4.25
Blake - $4.0
Redd - $4.0
Henson - $2.03
Morris - $1.77
Machado - $0.93
Salary totals without cap hold [Davis]: $57.38M
OK, while all of this seems far-fetched, and we can all pick apart who they might sign, the idea of whether any of those teams would do those deals, or even if those are the right guys to go after, it was still a fun exercise. Additionally, I like the thought of trading for a guy to use for the amnesty. Not sure if anyone has thought of that. Anyway, pick away!

But this time, rather than going the distance for a draw like the two did in January, Edgar got out of the first, controlled the pace of the fight in the second and third, and in the fourth he dropped Maynard with a right and finished him on the ground. One of the best rivalries of the year finally had a finish – with an exclamation point – at UFC 136 in Houston.
Edgar's fourth-round TKO in the lightweight championship main event earned him $75,000 for Knockout of the Night – the night's only KO stoppage. Joining him with $75,000 bonuses were Joe Lauzon for Submission of the Night and Nam Phan and Leonard Garcia for Fight of the Night.
It was like deja vu for Edgar and Maynard in the first round. Just like their second fight at UFC 125 on Jan. 1, Maynard dominated the first, dropping Edgar with big shots on the feet. In January, it was a decisive 10-8 round for Maynard that Edgar had to come back from. On Saturday, just one just, Doug Crosby, gave a 10-8 to Maynard, while the other two scored it a standard 10-9.
Still, Edgar had to go into rally mode with his face bloodied to start the second round. Maynard was decidedly more cautious in the second and third rounds, both of which saw Edgar controlling the tempo and landing decent shots on the feet. But deep in the fourth round, Edgar landed a right uppercut that stunned Maynard, followed it with several more rights on the feet that put Maynard on the canvas, and then finished with several big shots on the ground.
The end came at 3:54 of the fourth, and Edgar retained his lightweight title. It also gave him a win over Maynard in his third try. In the pair's first fight, in April 2008, Maynard won a unanimous decision. After Edgar won the lightweight title from BJ Penn and defended it in their rematch, he defended it against Maynard at UFC 125 – and the two fought to a rare title match draw. Finally with some closure, Edgar's next opponent will be just his third in more than two years after a steady diet of Penn and Maynard the last four fights.
Lauzon's Submission of the Night was also the card's biggest upset. It came just 47 seconds into the first round against Melvin Guillard, who was riding a five-fight winning streak and came into the fight a more than 5-to-1 favorite. Guillard came out bouncing around and looking to land big shots, but a left from Lauzon stunned Guillard, and Lauzon pounced, quickly took Guillard's back and sank in a fight-ending rear naked choke.
Amazingly, Lauzon now has won six straight fight night bonus awards and seven in his last eight fights. He has four submission bonuses and three Fight of the Night awards in that stretch. He also won Submission of the Night in June, a first-round kimura against Curt Warburton.
Lauzon's only competition for the Submission of the Night award came from Chael Sonnen, whose second-round arm triangle choke of Brian Stann probably earned him another shot at middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Sonnen called Silva out after the fight and said that he wants to up the stakes. Sonnen proposed that if he wins and takes the middleweight title, which he nearly did in August 2010, Silva should have to leave the 185-pound division. And if Sonnen loses, he said he will leave the UFC forever.
At the post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White said it was tough to choose between Lauzon and Sonnen for Submission of the Night, but he ultimately gave it to Lauzon because Lauzon was such a heavy underdog and he rocked the favorite so quickly in the first round.
The Fight of the Night may had checks written for it the day it was announced. Phan and Garcia fought to a controversial split decision win for Garcia at the TUF 12 Finale in December. A rematch was booked for March, but Phan was injured. And when Phan's original UFC 136 opponent, Matt Grice (who replaced Josh Grispi) was forced out, Garcia stepped in.
In what amounted to a continuation of their first fight, Phan and Garcia again had moments of a backyard brawl. But Phan was more accurate and controlled the pace in the first two rounds, landing more consistently. Garcia may have been on his way to a possible 10-8 third round, but Phan did enough to stay in the round and won a 29-28 unanimous decision.
Both Phan-Garcia fights have been Fight of the Night winners, and while Phan said after the fight he doesn't want to do No. 3, Garcia said if the fight could be in Houston, in his native Texas, he'd gladly do a trilogy fight.

(from SEIU/1199 News November 2001, online version: http://www.1199seiu.org/articles/article.cfm?ID=4375)
Courage and Devotion
Paramedic heroes survive Sept. 11 and beyond
For 12 years St. John's Hospital paramedics James Dobson and Marvin Bethea looked forward to Tuesdays. That was the one day each week that their work schedules teamed them in the same ambulance. 1199 News interviewed the two World Trade Center heroes at St. John's last month.
"My wife, Linda, often reminded me how much more pleasant I was on Tuesdays than on other mornings," says Dobson.
"I love working with Jimmy," says Bethea. "He s a real professional. And we also think alike; we re on the same wavelength. We re like brothers."
Dobson, Bethea and a paramedic student, Anthony Corso, had just treated a cardiac patient when they received an emergency call on their ambulance radio shortly after 9 a.m. on Sept. 11. Bethea was talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone at the time. She was watching TV and after seeing the broadcast of the second crash, she pleaded with Bethea to stay away from the World Trade Center.
The three raced to the scene, first parking a few blocks from the towers before settling even closer, at Church and Fulton streets where a triage had been set up.
"Remember, at this time, no one expected the towers to collapse," Dobson says. "We assumed that we should get as close to the towers as possible."
In the confusion, Bethea and Dobson were separated. Bethea led some of the injured persons fleeing the towers into a nearby Chase Manhattan bank, treating the most critical first.
"I was doing fine," says Bethea. "I was able to get some of the people in the bank to help me with the bandaging and other first aid. Then I felt what seemed like an avalanche or an earthquake.
"The windows of the bank blew out and it seemed as if day turned into night. I couldn t see more than two inches in front of me. The burning in my throat was so intense, I couldn t swallow. I heard piercing cries and screams in the darkness. I prayed that whatever was causing this would soon end.
"I later learned that what felt like an earthquake was the collapse of the south tower. I was able to collect myself and lead the survivors who were in the bank up Broadway."
Bethea said one of his main challenges then was to maintain his composure in the midst of horror and chaos. He barely escaped the collapse of the second tower while pulling an injured woman who was too frightened to move into the nearby Millenium Hilton hotel. He stayed in the hotel until enough smoke and dust cleared to make it possible to see. When he went back into the streets, he couldn't believe the destruction. "I figured the situation was so bad that Jimmy was dead."
Dobson, meanwhile, was concerned about Bethea. He had remained with the ambulance, hauling the injured on makeshift stretchers to safety. He had already driven injured survivors through a fog of ash to nearby NYU Downtown Hospital. "I had no idea where I was going the first time I drove away from the towers. I stumbled onto the hospital because some doctors waved me down," he says.
After dropping off patients, Dobson drove back towards the North Tower. Seven persons were in the back of the ambulance. "When the second tower collapsed everything went black and then orange," Dobson says. " This is not a good way to end my career, I said to myself."
Both paramedics were trapped: Bethea in the Millenium Hilton and Dobson in his ambulance. "By this time, most of the vehicles that had arrived at the towers had been destroyed," Dobson says. As debris rained on the ambulance, Dobson prayed that he and his passengers wouldn't be buried alive. "Luckily, the air began to clear and I was able to drive off," he says
"I was also praying that my wife was OK," says Dobson, fighting back tears welling in his eyes. "Her office is on Broadway and Liberty, and I think I continued to work because I identified with those who had loved ones in the area."
By noon, Dobson had rescued a police officer who suffered a heart attack, a comatose woman and several dazed and disoriented victims looking for anyone to direct them away from the horror.
On one of his trips from NYU Downtown towards the wreckage of the towers Dobson spotted a solitary figure among the debris who appeared to be holding a cell phone to his ear.
"I couldn't believe that I had found Marvin (Bethea)," Dobson. said.
"There was nothing moving where I was," says Bethea. "Then I saw a vehicle coming towards me through the dust. I said to myself, It's a miracle. It's Jimmy. "
Dobson jumped out of the ambulance, and the partners who feared they had seen each other for the last time, didn't say a word. They embraced.
Rather than return to Queens, they went to the nearest subway station to see if they could help anyone who might have been injured or trapped. They worked until three in the afternoon when they both were overcome with emotional exhaustion. By then they had learned that student Corso was OK.
"I ve been called to plane crashes, train crashes and I ve seen multiple deaths," says Dobson. "But I ve never seen anything like that."
"I've had a gun pointed to my head twice and I've been shot at," says Bethea. "But nothing I've experienced can compare to Sept. 11."
Bethea and Dobson went to work on Sept. 12 and worked every Tuesday together through Oct. 16. Those weeks had been difficult for both. Each describes nightmares and sleepless nights. On the Oct. 16, the partners were chatting after having helped save a woman who had suffered a heart attack.
"Suddenly, Marvin's speech became slurred," recalls Dobson. "He had suffered a stroke." Dobson knew the procedure: Take vital signs, perform an EKG, insert an IV, and call ahead. The doctors were ready for Bethea when Dobson lifted him out of the ambulance.
"Luckily, I was with Jimmy," Bethea says. "His knowledge and quick action definitely helped minimize the damage."
The partners say that Sept. 11 has taught them both a greater appreciation of life and of each other. They consider themselves fortunate.At press time, Bethea was in a Westchester rehab facility. A regular caller and visitor is Dobson, his friend, partner and brother.

This means shower and storm chances will linger through the latter half of the week. In the meantime, an area of showers and storms over the Caribbean Sea will be monitored for potential tropical development.

'No benefit' in dementia diagnosis before symptoms
The Department of Health has responded to warnings over routine dementia screenings.
It said there is "currently no benefit" in trying to diagnose people with dementia before they show symptoms of the condition.
– Department of Health spokeswoman
Our preferred approach is for doctors to speak to patients that have symptoms such as memory loss, which could be caused by dementia. If dementia is suspected only then would further investigations take place. This approach is not the same as screening.
We do, nonetheless, encourage an early diagnosis and referral for those who show symptoms.

Coach Mora returned to the field today to share the words he wanted to share before he was interrupted earlier during the official press conference. I am so glad he did. He speaks about how much the guys loved Nick, about how it is his job to help them through this and, especially to be there for Nick's family, and about how the other players reminded the coaches to put Nick into the game against Nevada.
This tribute by Coach Mora is beautiful and powerful and shows again how much he cares about his players. It also shows Coach Mora's wisdom, depth, and strength. I am so grateful that he is our coach.
Thank you to Edward Lewis from BSR for the video.

XCircuit are drawing programs, and there are schematic capture programs. All schematic capture programs will produce output for inclusion in publications. However, these programs have different goals, and it shows. Rarely is the output of a schematic capture program really suitable for publication; often it is not even readable, or cannot be scaled. Engineers who really want to have a useful schematic drawing of a circuit usually redraw the circuit in a general drawing program, which can be both tedious and prone to introducing new errors.
XCircuit is a UNIX/X11 (and Windows, with an X-Server running, or Windows API) program for drawing publishable-quality electrical circuit schematic diagrams and related figures, and produce circuit netlists through schematic capture. XCircuit regards circuits as inherently hierarchical, and writes both hierarchical PostScript output and hierarchical SPICE netlists. Circuit components are saved in and retrieved from libraries which are fully editable. XCircuit does not separate artistic expression from circuit drawing; it maintains flexiblity in style without compromising the power of schematic capture.
XCircuit is flexible enough to be used as a generic program for drawing just about anything, and is competitive with powerful programs such as "xfig". It is especially good for any task requiring repeated use of a standard set of graphical objects, including architectural drawing, printed circuit board layouts, and music typography.
you can download the program here, and you can learn more about this program also.

Any of you Nexus 4 owners upgrading to N5?
Me personally, I don't feel the need to. My phone still looks brand new, runs very smoothly, no usual time-induced Android slowdown. As tempting as the Nexus 5 seems (especially after knowing its true specs after they leaked), I think I'm gonna bow out this year and wait till next year's Nexus before I upgrade. Plus, the N4 will get upgraded to KitKat anyway so I won't be missing out on anything (unlike anyone who doesn't own the latest iOS hardware).
To any of you considering upgrading from a Nexus 4. Any reason why?
