On the Horizon for BDD
There is a new study currently underway which takes a look at the way BDD sufferers visually process information. The goal of the study is to determine whether the brains of BDD sufferers process visual information differently from the brains of normal healthy control subjects. If that is the case, it may explain the distortions in BDD patients' perception of their appearance.
The study will use a functional MRI to compare brain activity of BDD patients when asked to process certain visual information to the brain activity of the subjects in the control group. The hope is that the results will give researchers clues to help develop and refine treatments for the disorder.
Risks of leaving BDD untreated
BDD significantly affects the lives of those who suffer from it. Patients tend to isolate themselves from others, pushing away family members or potential romantic partners, and avoiding social situations. In extreme cases, patients may feel emotionally unable to face venturing out of their homes, even to go to work, and many of those patients will become housebound.
In addition to the potential loss of friends, jobs, and a life away from the mirror, there are even more serious risks if BDD goes untreated. Suicide is the most troubling risk factor in dealing with BDD patients. In fact, BDD patients display a suicide attempt rate that is on par with bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia. Also disconcerting are the statistics about BDD and substance abuse. It is estimated that chemical dependency and/or alcohol abuse become a factor in close to 50% of BDD cases.
Secondary Disorders
The most common "side-effect" of BDD is depression, which can make BDD even harder to diagnose. Treatment is also more difficult, since depression tends to produce a patient who is unmotivated to participate in his or her own healing. In addition, the BDD patient in fact has a high likelihood of becoming anorexic or bulimic.
Misconceptions About BDD
Misconceptions about BDD abound, with some people assuming it is synonymous with vanity. In fact, it is the exact opposite. People with BDD do not want to think about their looks, and do not enjoy their reflections in the mirror. They simply can't stop their obsessive thoughts, and they become defined by what they imagine to be their "deformity".
BDD patients suffer from distortion in their perception of their own appearance, and selectively zero in on the smallest details of their defects. They also tend to closely scrutinize the details of the appearance of others, constantly (and unfavorably) comparing them to their own defects.
BDD & Plastic Surgery
Most BDD sufferers, especially those who remain undiagnosed, fail to recognize that their problem originates in the brain. Instead, they mistakenly believe that if they could only fix their "deformed" physical appearance, all would be right with the world. So they seek out plastic surgery, assuming that the surgeon will immediately see how severe their defects are, and will correct them, thereby almost magically transforming their lives.
Unfortunately, people who suffer from BDD are rarely satisfied with the outcomes of their surgeries, and may end up even more obsessed with any imperfections left after the surgery. They may obsess over scars, or they may be driven to near-madness over the slightest asymmetry of the result. Others shift their focus to another perceived defect that was not fixed by the surgery. Either way, the BDD patient often doesn't take long to seek out the next surgery…and the next…and so on.
As a result, these patients are highly likely to become what the world at large deems as "plastic surgery addicts". No matter what "flaws" these patients manage to fix, it is never enough. There is always something else that they will perceive as being "wrong" with the way they look. There seems to be no amount of reassurance by loved ones that will convince the patient, even for a moment, that he or she is not ugly or deformed.
Many doctors who study BDD believe that plastic surgeons come into contact much more often with BDD patients than do therapists of psychiatrists, and that is probably true. It is a surgeon's ethical responsibility to take into account the mental and emotional state of his patient before agreeing to operate, and most plastic surgeons are very aware of the nature and symptoms of BDD. Therefore, many people who suffer from BDD are finally diagnosed as a result of a referral from a plastic surgeon to a qualified therapist or psychiatrist.
Learn More About BDD
If you suspect that you or someone close to you may be suffering from BDD, you should arrange to speak with a medical health professional as soon as possible. More information on BDD can also be found at: www.bddcentral.com.

Technology is ever changing and school corporations like the EVSC are working hard to ensure students learn the skills they need to compete in the 21st Century.
To help the corporation stay ahead of that curve, EVSC employee Tim Wilhelmus, integrated curriculum and technology specialist, was notified recently that he has been named an inaugural member of the Sony Educational Ambassador Program.
Wilhelmus is one of 11 members nation-wide who will work with Sony to shape how schools around the nation implement technology.
As members, they will share their experiences through an online community database of lesson plans, app reviews, forums, step-by-step technology-use cases, and more.
Wilhelmus first learned about the program through a presenter at last summer's EVSC eRevolution Conference and decided to apply.
The application process included the submission of a three-minute video that introduced him and explained how he wanted to be a part of the process of finding technology solutions that truly enhance learning.
Later this month, Sony will fly the 11 members to San Diego for an initial collaboration meeting.
Over time, Wilhelmus plans to share what he has learned with the EVSC, allowing the corporation to continue to extend its knowledge about teaching in the digital age.

Drill bits are some of the most common and versatile parts of any machine shop or home tool shed. They can drill into metals, solid wood furniture, porcelain and even glass, and with a variety of different drill bits available, one can find an appropriate bit for almost any situation. One major aspect of drill bit selection is the material makeup of the drill bit itself. Not all twist bits will work on all applications. It's important to match the material of the bit to the material being drilled to produce the best results.
Carbon Steels
Low and high carbon steels are both used for drill bits, but for different purposes. Soft low carbon steel cannot cut hard metals due to their poor tempers, but they can cut wood. They require sharpenings to extend their lifespan. The primary bonus of low carbon steel is its relative inexpensiveness, especially when compared to some more exotic drill bit materials.
High carbon steels have better tempers than low carbon steels, so they require less maintenance, such as sharpening, and hold their form and effectiveness longer. They can cut both woods and metals, and if available, are preferred to low carbon steels when cutting extremely hard woods.
High Speed Steel
High Speed Steel (HSS) is a special type of carbon steel that is prized for the way it can withstand high temperatures while maintaining structural integrity, specifically its hardness. Friction created by high speed turning can raise temperatures dramatically, but HSS can undergo these types of drillings. HSS can function at normal temperatures, as well, but only at a level equal to standard carbon steel. HSS can also take coatings, such as titanium nitrade, which give the drill bit better lubricity, decreasing friction and helping to extend the bit's life.
Titanium is a corrosion resistant metal, and is reasonably light compared to its strength. It is similar to steel in that it has a good fatigue limit, and also a high heat limit, although both are less than steel's. This longevity makes it attractive for use in repetitive, large runs. It is a very versatile drill bit coating and it can cut a broad variety of surfaces, including many types of steels and irons, as well as wood and plastic.
Zirconium Coating
While not a primary material for drill bits, zirconium coated metals function very well for drill bits. The zirconium nitride coating can increase strength for hard but brittle materials, like steel. The makeup of the zirconium also decreases friction for improved precision drilling.
Cobalt is used for materials that HSS cannot cut, such as stainless steel. It is less succeptible to high temperatures than even HSS so it is not affected by extremely high heat. As a drawback, though, cobalt coatings are excessively brittle.

text: For those of you who have Netflix "instant watch," I just want to call your attention to an old interview with Ted Simmons--exactly the kind of thing that gets you through the off-season. It's on the show "Talking Baseball with Ed Randall." I've been working my way through the various interviews, and this may be my favorite. I'm too young to remember Simmons's playing career, but in interview he strikes me as one of the most intelligent ballplayers I've ever heard speak. For those interested in the history of the game, it's a must-see. He talks about being his own agent, about leaving the Cardinals, about catching Gibson, etc. Having never seen him play, I'm a Simba fan, just from this interview.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – It may be amusing to some, but the CDC isn't laughing now that all those leftover swine flu vaccines are going to be trashed and burned.
The government ordered 200 million doses and pleaded with the public to get protected. As the swine flu epidemic waned, people stopped rolling up their sleeves and now, the CDC says 40 million doses of the H1N1 vaccine are going to the incinerator. Apparently, they've expired and cannot be saved as some had hoped.

Hello everyone, I know its a couple weeks away yet until we play a division rival, but lets get this poll started now and see if we can't get some good numbers and great stories.
Thanks to everyone that participated in the first "Who are you hatin' on?" poll. There was some good stuff there. I hope you found it theraputic to vent your hate and get it off your Dolphin lovin' chest.
At the time of this post, there were 72 votes cast, being a old school Dolphin fan.....I'm kinda fond of that number. With that being said, the team that you guys hate the worst is the Dallas Cowboys pulling in 25% of the vote. Followed by the Raiders at 13%, and then the Broncos at 9%.
Now, let the boards light up, the colorful words fly and the numbers skyrocket as I give you the AFC East. The Dolphins won't be on it for obvious reasons. Tell your stories, get out the hate and feel better when you're done! And please, I need 3 rec'd's to keep this up for awhile, thanks in advance!
Go Dolphins!

Sale could be set to appoint John Mitchell as their new head coach after he resigned his post at the Golden Lions

John Mitchell: Looks set to team up with Sale

John Mitchell has resigned as head coach of the Golden Lions fuelling rumours he is about to take over the reins at Sale Sharks.
The former All Blacks coach was appointed to the Sale rugby management board following the removal of Brian Redpath as director of rugby.
And while he is to continue to work with the Lions as a technical advisor he is expected to combine that role with the top job at the Salford City Stadium.
Sale chief executive Steve Diamond was quoted last weekend as saying he expected to Mitchell to join the Sharks on a permanent basis "in the next 48 to 72 hours".
Mitchell was suspended by the Lions in June due to allegations of misconduct but was cleared of those charges earlier this month.
Lions chief executive Ruben Mogee said: "There will be an interim period where he will work with Sale but he will return to South Africa and be based in Johannesburg.

SawStop Aftermarket Insert Concerns - 3 replies
Hi All, I purchased the aftermarket aluminum SawStop insert from Infinity Tools.

Immediate Approval Payday and Cash Advance Loans

A few years back hardly anybody had heard of a payday loan. Now they have become a $40 billion dollar a year business. Payday loans are a very controversial topic, because the interest rates are extremely high. You might wonder – since the interest rates are so high, why would anybody want a payday loan?…..

Hey all -- made my first trip to Nationals Ballpark yesterday and I thought I'd share a few things. First off, it is lightyears better than RFK. Everything about the park, from the vantage points to the amenities, beats sitting in that cold, concrete, Soviet cosmodrome.
Anyway, we got cheap seats, which are still a good deal for $10 and since they still can't get anyone to go to the games, you pretty much have free roam over the whole field. The actual makeup of the ballpark is interesting... my favorite aspect of it is the large amount on "common area" inside the park, reminiscent of Eutaw street at Camden. there's just lots of space and, ostensibly, there will be lots of stuff to do there in the future.
The food is good, if a bit pricey. A chicken finger basket (with three chicken fingers), a side order of fries and a souvenir-sized pop cost me an even Jackson. But the selection is pretty impressive, as is the quality of the food. Ben's Chili Bowl's famous chili half-smokes can be had at nearly every hot dog stand. There are of course ballpark standards like dogs, pizza, sausage (at a stand called Senators Sausages... tee hee!), pretzels, etc. There's even a stand that sells exclusively gluten-free products, which excited my girlfriend to no end because she was able to eat the first soft pretzel she's had since discovering her wheat allergy. there is an assortment of beer and liquor/mixed drinks to be had, but alcohol will bankrupt you ($7.50 for a standard beer!).
Overall, it was a fun experience. Would have been better if it was so terribly cold last night. The ballpark is very conveniently located off the Navy Yard Metro stop (for those of you familiar with DC) and much more welcoming in that sense than RFK. The city is planning on really developing the area on the bank of the Anacostia, and Nationals Park should be a good keystone. There are some cool architectural features, though the place is a bit generic. Great big scoreboard... nice stat displays on the marquees. The only thing I question in the luxury restaurant section in center field, dubbed "The Red Porch" and decorated with padded red chairs in contrast to the other 30-some thousand blue chairs. It's a striking contrast, plus "Red Porch?" This is the nation's capital, people, not Communist Russia!
I'll try to add some pictures later if I get a chance.

Three strikes
I play at Imperial Palace enough that most of the dealers there know me by name. Last night, however, I was startled to learn that one of them doesn't even remember having seen me before, despite the fact that he has dealt to me well over 20 times. He usually makes small talk with me in a way that has previously caused me to assume that he recognizes me as a local and a regular. (He calls me by name, but only because he's looking at the Bravo display in front of him. I knew that, but still assumed that he knew mine as a familiar face, even if he didn't remember my name from one visit to the next.)

More reason to be leery of Luvin/Everleaf
You know that $79 cashout from LuvinPoker (Everleaf network) I mentioned yesterday? Well, maybe not so much.
I'm contacting you with regards* to your requested payout.
Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request as cashouts via credit card are not available for US members.
Due to above, I have cancelled your request and kindly ask that you choose Wire transfer, Western Union or Pic-Club as payment method for your outgoing transactions.
Should you require any further assistance, please feel free to contact me at anytime.
Kind regards,
Risk&Fraud Analyst
OK. Annoying, but not fatal to the project. I went back to the cashier page and looked more closely at the options. It appeared that, as laid out in the message above, only three were tagged as being open to U.S. residents: Wire transfer, which had a $200 minimum, Western Union, which had a $100 minimum, and an e-wallet service called PIC-Club, with no minimum listed. I really didn't want to go through the hassle and security risk of having yet another e-wallet account (I have about five already, thanks to poker sites churning through them over the years), but OK, whatever.
I'm contacting you with regards* to your requested payout.OK, now they're really irritating me. They appear to be deliberately closing down every means of getting my money back, one by one, with a new excuse for every one.
In order to cashout via Pic-Club, a previous deposit needs to be completed using this method. This is to create a payment pathway. Without previous Pic-Club deposit the transaction would fail.
Due to above, I have cancelled your request and returned the funds to your poker account.
Should you require any further assistance, please feel free to contact me at anytime.
Kind regards,
I want to take my money ($79) off of your site. There are virtually no games ever going, and I'd rather put the money on a site with more traffic.The reply:
I first tried requesting a cashout using the Visa card with which I deposited. I received an email saying that could not be done because I live in the U.S.
Looking at your cashier page, two of the other methods that were highlighted (and thus presumably available to U.S. residents)--Western Union and Wire Transfer--are listed as having withdrawal minimums above the amount I have on account, so those are presumably not available to me.
The only other option shown as available was PIC Club. So I went to the trouble of setting up an account there, then requested a withdrawal from your site. Now I get an email from you saying that that option is not available because it is not how I made my initial deposit.
In short, you seem to be deliberately cutting off every means of withdrawal.
Tell me: How do I get my money?
Thank you for your email.With this much hassle, I was getting more than a little paranoid. I could easily envision making an additional deposit as Rachel said would work, then trying to get a withdrawal, only to be told some BS such as the money had not been on the site long enough, or I could only take out the amount recently deposited, not the prior balance. I wanted to get a commitment from them in advance that the proposed method would actually work as suggested, plus point out to them how completely idiotic and inconvenient they were making things. So I sent this:
I'm sorry to hear that you would like to leave the site and feel that there are not enough games going on.
Due to our card room having players from all over the world the time zone can some time come into play with the amount of players that we have online at certain times.
Our busier times are usually evening or early morning GMT, but obviously it varies from day to day and of course holidays.
It might be worth giving it another try and playing around the evenings and early mornings GMT; we have many US members playing at our tables at all times.
Unfortunately, although our US players are able to deposit with Visa, I'm afraid we are not able to cashout to US Visa cards.
Yes you are correct that WU, wire transfer and Pic club are all available cash out methods.
As you know WU and Pic club require prior deposits and as you stated the amount in your account that you would like to withdrawal is under the minimum that is required for a wire transfer cash out.
To withdrawal your money you could make a deposit with Pic club or WU so that you have the required minimum amount you need to cash out, and then withdrawal all your money with the method that you deposited with.
Please do not feel that we are cutting off your means to withdrawal, we have many US players that are satisfied with our deposit and cash out methods.
Please also be aware that unfortunately it is not easy for us to find payment methods for our US players which is why your options may seem limited.
Should you require further assistance please feel free to contact us back anytime.
Kind regards,
Let me be sure I'm understanding you correctly. I want to cash out $79. You are telling me that:This reply arrived a few minutes ago:
1) I cannot withdraw that money via any of your methods right now.
2) However, I could, for example, deposit $50 through PIC Club, then, as soon as that transaction is verified to be complete, immediately turn around and withdraw $129.
Is that correct?
If so, can't you see how absurd a policy and practice that is? Why would you make your customers jump through stupid, inconvenient hoops like that, just to get their money back? How does it benefit either me or your company to make me deposit more before withdrawing the entire amount?
Thank you for your email.Let's give them credit for this much: (1) Getting this many full exchanges of emails in less than 24 hours is as prompt as one can reasonably expect. (2) The messages are polite, clear, and obviously written specifically to my situation, rather than being bedbug letters. They could use improvement in their English grammar, but I'm letting that go with just a stern look of disapproval.
Unfortunately, after visa deposit the only available cashout option is wire transfer and the minimum cashout with this method is 200$. Therefore, a cashout of $79 is not available for you until you increase your bankroll to $200 or open a payment channel via deposit with Picclub or Western Union.
I would also like to confirm that as soon as you make a deposit with Picclub you can cashout your funds with the same method. Minimum deposit with Picclub is $25. Minimum cashout is $20.
You can also make a deposit with Western Union (minimum is $100) and then cashout with the same method. Minimum cashout is $100.
I can understand that requirement of prior deposit with the same method may be inconvenient to you, but the deposit is necessary to open a payment channel in case of both payment methods – Western Union and Picclub. Once you make a deposit with Western Union / Picclub, you can use the same method for cashouts numerous times.
If there is anything else we can assist you with, please contact us again at any time.
Kind regards,
*Yes, it seems that the fine folks behind this do not understand the difference between regard and regards. (If you are similarly confused, see here.)

Economist blog post
Shamus's blog post today points to this blog post by "J.F." at The Economist. It's a worthwhile read, and a generally good riposte to the absurdly shallow and thoughtless discussion of luck versus skill in poker that was found in the New York Times piece to which J.F. is responding.
Finally, consider losing rather than winning. Can you deliberately lose a hand of poker if you tried? Of course: bet badly, fold with winning cards, and so on. Can you deliberately lose a game of baccarat or roulette? No: to play you have to bet on an outcome that might happen, regardless of what you do.This is just wrong. I don't even know how baccarat works, so I won't talk about that. But I do understand roulette. You absolutely can deliberately lose at roulette. Just bet the same amount on every one of the 38 spots (36 numbers plus 0 and 00). The ball will land on one of those slots, and you'll be paid 35:1 there. Suppose you bet $1 on each number. You will have spent $38 on every spin of the wheel, but win $35 back. If that doesn't constitute deliberately losing, I don't know what would. That thought experiment is, all by itself, sufficient to destroy the argument that any game at which you can deliberately lose is necessarily a game of skill.
Offhand, the only games I can think of in which luck plays no part at all are chess and go.Also not true. In chess, the decision about who gets the white pieces--and therefore gets the advantage of moving first--is made by chance.

HoopsHype Media rumors
Nate Robinson: I'll be on @JimmyKimmelLive with my bro @jimmykimmel tonight after the #NBAFinals. #StateOfNate http://t.co/39PzjwiWCZ Twitter @nate_robinson
What do you think of your salary being made public? Andrew Bogut: I disagree with the publishing of figures. The big paper in the States, The USA Today, actually has a lift-out every three or four months which has every professional athlete's salary in every sport in America. You have a bunch of women cutting that out and following guys around at night clubs. It just creates a plethora of problems. Courier-Mail
And what did he hammer LeBron and Wade with? "Is your problem your lackluster offense, or is it your lackluster defense?" Keep in mind that it took Bobby a solid 10-15 seconds to spit out what could have been a very simple question. LeBron's reaction was just priceless. Larry Brown Sports
Now what's great is that even before the question to James and Wade, it was head coach Erik Spoelstra who got the Ramos treatment. Check out this video, where instead of asking a question, Ramos gives his made-for-sports-talk-radio opinion straight to Spo's face: Spo answered about the only way one could in that situation, saying, "clearly." Larry Brown Sports
The NBA Finals rematch is drawing a higher television audience than the first go-around between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat. Nielsen says Game 2 on Sunday delivered just over 15 million viewers on ABC and had a peak audience of 18,786,000 viewers from 10 to 10:30 p.m. Eastern time. The viewership translates to an 8.9 household rating. That is a 5 percent increase from last year's Game 2, which drew an 8.5. NBA.com
Silver also discussed the league's upcoming television rights negotiations, saying talks are in place for next week when the Finals transition to Miami. The current deal runs through the 2015-16 season. "We're pleased with our current partners in the Disney Company and Time Warner Turner," Silver said. "We have discussions set for next week in Miami and those discussions are ongoing. It's still my hope that we extend early before we get to the market, but we'll see. We'll see how those discussions go." ESPN.com
Phil Jackson: Undaunted by "stuff" we will continue to have a relationship with the press, which informs our fan base#chagrined Twitter
Jackson's message is he will continue to reach the fan base through the media despite a fine that seemed petty. In his meeting with the team beat writers last Friday, Jackson at first was reluctant to talk about Fisher. "I'm not allowed to say boo, I think,'' Jackson said. "I said B-O and I didn't get the other 'O' out and the league already called me up.'' When pressed, Jackson relented. "I have no idea if he wants to come here and move his family,'' Jackson said. "These are things he has to express. There's so many unknowns and I'm not talking to him. But he's definitely a person on my list of guys who could be very good candidates for this job.'' New York Post
From 1993-94 until now, who are five coaches you have most enjoyed interacting with? Marc Stein: I'm incredibly blessed at ESPN, where I've had the chance to work closely with a bunch of great ones. Trying, again, to do this off the top of my head, I'm thinking of Hubie Brown, Rick Carlisle, Avery Johnson, Doug Collins, Mark Jackson, P.J. Carlesimo, Paul Silas, Jeff Van Gundy, George Karl and, of course, Dr. Jack Ramsay, who sadly passed away recently. Ed Odeven Reporting
What appear to be Adam Silver's leadership strengths now that he is David Stern's replacement? Marc Stein: He is incredibly approachable and accessible. He's clearly not afraid to consider tweaks of all kinds to the game and seems willing to put pretty much anything on the table at a time when the league is doing well and it would be easy to just push the status quo. He also strikes me as quite comfortable in the glare of the spotlight despite the size of the very big shoes he's stepped into. I've said from the start that establishing the sort of authoritarian presence that I think a commissioner has to have is going to be his biggest challenge after the domineering way Stern lorded over the game for three decades. But you'd have to say Silver has quickly accumulated a lot of fans — and rightfully so — with the way he's handled the Donald Sterling situation. He's going to force Sterling out of the league and ultimately preside over a $2 billion sale of Sterling's team to make all the other owners happy. He's off to some start. Ed Odeven Reporting
Asked to pinpoint the best in the business, Vecsey told me it's his view that you and Howard Beck, who now works for Bleacher Report, are the best all-around NBA reporters today. What does that assessment mean to you coming from Vecsey? Marc Stein: It's priceless to hear something like that. Because Pete has always been one of my all-time favorites, which he knows because I always try to squeeze some more "mentoring" out of him on the rare occasions we cross paths. He took the whole NBA Insider genre to new levels with his columns and as the first hoop scribe to really make it big on TV. To give you a glimpse of the sort of influence Pete had when I started during that 1993-94 season — which was obviously pre-Internet and ages before texting and Facebook and Twitter — one of the first things I felt I HAD to do when I got moved onto the Clipper beat was buy a fax machine. And that's because you could subscribe to the three-times-a-week faxed version of Pete's "Hoop Du Jour" column and get all of his stuff no matter where you lived. I'm pretty sure that the first anyone heard of the Danny Manning-for-Dominique Wilkins trade that I referenced way back at the beginning was in Pete's column. And if he wants to put me in the same sentence as my dear friend Hojo Beck, who actually succeeded me on the Laker beat at the Daily News and ranks as one of the finest wordsmiths who has ever covered the NBA, I'm even prouder. Ed Odeven Reporting
For work-related knowledge (and perhaps personal interest, too) what are must-read NBA-related websites, blogs, columns and notebooks for you? Marc Stein: I'm probably too biased to answer this one, because I would say that ESPN.com — in conjunction with our Grantland brothers — pretty much has you covered on any and every possible NBA angle you could wish to read. But to show some semblance of neutrality, allow me to tip my hat to the guys at HoopsHype. Nobody in the business does a better job of collecting the zillions of pertinent links and tweets in circulation and amassing them all in one easy-to-navigate place. HH is my first stop every morning and I use the various tools there several times a day … to the point that my kids used to give me grief about it when they were just starting to be aware of my job. "Why are you always looking at that HoopsHype, Dad?" As for features, anything new from Lee Jenkins in Sports Illustrated is a drop-everything-you're-doing sort of situation. Ed Odeven Reporting
From the Internet Café at what was then The Arena in Oakland to "A Great Time Out" slogan that encouraged fans to "click and roll" on warriors.com, the Warriors' digital efforts and official website have been in a constant state of progression over the years, as you can see in this collection of screenshots of warriors.com through the years. NBA.com
Christopher A. Vito: I have accepted a communications position at Temple University's @foxschool of Business, and I'll begin there later this month. My 7 years at the @delcotimes (and 2 seasons on the @sixers beat) have been filled with friendships, memories...and too many people to thank. I'm incredibly humbled to have been hired by @TempleUniv, my alma mater, and I look forward to the next step of my professional career. Twitter @ChrisVito
"And I really didn't say what they thought I was saying," he went on. "You know, the game was on ESPN. I was saying 'Bill Simmons,' that's what I was saying. I saw him sitting right across from me. In basketball, especially the playoffs, there's nothing more exciting than playoff basketball, playoff hockey. And so emotions fly high, and you maybe say some things that you don't mean, but it's all a matter of the intensity and how hard and how much you want to win for your fans." Washington Post
Shane Battier, who said two months ago that he would be retiring after this NBA season barring an "act of God," has agreed to a multi-year TV deal with ESPN to be a college basketball analyst next season, multiple people told The Big Lead. The Big Lead
It's unclear yet if ESPN will use Battier, 35, as a game analyst, in the studio, or on the set of College Gameday, which is being revamped. Battier's agent, Jim Ornstein, didn't return a call today seeking comment. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said the network had "no comment." The deal isn't expected to be announced until after the Finals are complete. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced. The Big Lead
Jeff Zillgitt: Not a suprise Shane Battier going to ESPN as college hoops analyst. He switched agencies to a firm that specialized in TV personalities. Twitter @JeffZillgitt
We are extremely pleased to announce that Michael Lee is moving from the Wizards beat to become our national NBA writer.

Michael's made regular appearances on ESPN, NBATV, Comcast, Fox Sports and CBS Radio. He was part of our team of reporters at the Beijing Olympics and has also covered the baseball playoffs, World Series and the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

1 - Batting Practice Hat
Count me among those who are excited for the Braves' new batting practice hat. This isn't some political stance or anything, I just really like "old school" logos. I think it bridges the gap between fans and brings them more together when you blend old with new. I will be among the first to purchase the new hats (unless backlash from others causes MLB to pull it) and will proudly wear it knowing that it represents both the present and past Braves who've donned the uniform. That's how I look at the logo and I can't wait to see the real deal.
2 - Position Battles
Not a whole lot of drama to look for on the field this spring considering the Braves added the Upton bros. to solidify the outfield. However there are still two position battles that I will be keeping my eye on this spring, the first being the battle between acquisition Chris Johnson and former top prospect Juan Francisco at 3B. Obviously this battle has already been previewed both here and other sites, but in case you've been hibernating all winter it's worth noting a few items. One, than Roadrunner has lost weight and tore the cover off the ball in the Dominican Winter League, next that in a small sample size Johnson has a reverse platoon split, yet his minor league stats reflect a traditional split, and finally when it comes to Fredi making decisions, anything is possible. Ultimately it will be interesting to see if one outperforms the other leading into the regular season.
The other position battle I am most interested in is the last spot in the rotation. Sure, due to lack of contenders and injuries - as well as a good winter - the job is Julio Teheran's to lose. That being said I'm interested to see how perhaps prospects JR Graham and Sean Gilmartin perform to put some pressure on the Columbian fireballer. A job earned is better than a job given. There is also potential for some outside competetion from Mexican League acquisition Daniel Rodriguez. Hopefully Teheran continues performing well enough to pitch every five days until Beachy returns from injury.
3 - AAAA Players
The Braves enter spring training with three interesting players on the roster: outfielders Jordan Schafer, Jose Constanza, and 1B/Baseball Smasher Ernesto Mejia. Each player has their own unique set of skills and performs at a high level in the minors, yet doesn't have a place on the roster or can't translate their game at the next level. These three AAAA players are worth keeping an eye on for the last bench spot. A quick look at years' past shows a young Jordan Schafer having a monster spring prior to being the Opening Day CF for the Braves, only to get injured in the first month of the season and not yet return to form. Many of you will also remember Opening Day 2012 when during a key pinch hit at-bat Fredi sent Jose Constanza to the plate, who after a foul ball infamously licked his bat, and the Braves went on to lose. There always seems to be interest in trying to see if these guys can find that spark again and perform on a regular basis. In the case of Schafer can he hit and prove to be above average in the field, with Constanza his only tool is speed, and for Mejia will crushing the ball despite having no fielding position be enough to garner a spot on the major league roster?
4 - Players on the roster
Listed are four players with different circumstances who's spring performances could be indicative of the final roster construction, but also the Braves on-field performance.
Evan Gattis - The big thing I'm looking for when watching Gattis this spring is how much time he spends catching? If Gattis proves to be serviceable behind the plate he could be on the fast track to a roster spot on Opening Day. The power seems legit but if Gattis spends the majority of spring in left field his odds decrease of making the Opening Day roster
Brian McCann - Opening the door for a guy like Gattis is McCann, and how he is progressing in his rehab. Reports earlier this week suggested that doctors won't clear Mac for full baseball activities until at least April 15th. Given how his stats have tapered off really since the oblique injury in 2011, I'm more than happy with giving McCann extra time to fully heal and hopefully return to All-Star form and be the face of the Braves for the future. Barring any setbacks I anticipate seeing how McCann is swinging the bat by the end of spring training.
Tyler Pastornicky - Can Pastornicky become the new Martin Prado as Wren and Fredi suggest? Rev is man without a permanent postion, but who could potentially fill in at multiple postions. The bat seems to be able to perform at a replacement level, and we know about the ability to be in the vicinity of shortstop and play second base. So the question remains can Pastornicky pick-up the outfield or third base and how many positions will he play this spring? Pastornicky could easily earn the final bench spot if he hits decently and plays compentently at multiple positions including the outfield.
Jordan Walden - How does the flamethrowing righty fit into one of the best bullpens in the league? Walden's usuage this spring probably won't have a ton of bearing on how Fredi plans to use him during the season. This is just due to the nature of spring training, where guys get in their work and aren't necessarily pigeon-holed into specific game situations yet. That all being said, it will be interesting to see how Walden performs this spring given that he's not competing for a closing job. You hope to see the blazing heat and also keep an eye on how many walks the former Angel gives up. If Walden maintains his strikeouts and limit the walks, he is just another reason why you can't get to the Braves in the late innings.
5 - Statistics to watch
At the end of the day Spring Training doesn't count for anything. The records don't count, the stats don't matter, and the players are a plenty. However, the competitive nature in me always wants the Braves to have the best record and the best stats. And because it's baseball we still count everything. So for fun here's some stats to keep an eye on this spring (whether they are an accurate indicater or not, who knows). 1) Andrelton Simmons OBP - Simba posted on .335 OBP last season, and with the move to leadoff it will be especially intriguing to see how the young shortstop gets on-base this spring. Remember he won a batting title in the minors and had a .372 OBP doing it. 2) Dan Uggla SLG - Uggla could use a big spring in a big way. While Uggla had a career year for base-on-balls, his power stroke seemed to be utterly lost, posting his first season without 30 HR and a .384 SLG. Popeye needs to find the power this spring and try to climb back to being a force in the batting order. 3) Team strikeouts - This stat seems to pretty much speak for itself, as everyone knows the Braves are going to strikeout more this year the trade off hopefully being tons of power and runs. So it will be interesting to see just how many strikeouts the team racks up during spring ball. 4) Craig Kimbrel's WBC IP - I'm all about patriotism but the fact that Major League Baseball doesn't seem to care all that much about the WBC makes me leery of one of the Braves' key cogs participating (Kris Medlen dropped out due to the impending birth of his first child). So while I will root for the ol' red, white , and blue, I will mostly be watching to hope that Kimbrel doesn't get overused in this global exhibition. 5) Juan Francisco PH AVG - In what is probably the hardest stat to put any stock in this spring, I am most interested in Roadrunner's batting average when he enters later in the game. The obvious glaring need the Braves still have is a LH bench bat. And if Francisco earns the everyday job at 3B, this becomes more important in my opinion. Francisco historically performs better as an everyday player and for his career is a .181 AVG as a pinch hitter. So despite the nonsense that is spring training stats, this is certainly an area to keep an eye on.
Bottom Line Folks, the season is almost here!

Valdosta - Some South Georgia students are getting advice on success from an NFL star. |
Former Atlanta Falcons football player Jessie Tuggle shared his success story with students at Valdosta State University's business school Tuesday. The former VSU football standout told students if he can make it big, so can they.
"The biggest thing I want to get across to them is to let them know there's no substitute for hard work, set goals, believe in yourself and try to do the right things because in life the only thing we want is an opportunity," said Tuggle.
Tuggle earned a business degree from VSU in 1992. He played for the Falcons for 14 years before retiring.

Convoluted Beauty: In the Company of Emily Carr
June 27 to September 14, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, June 27 at 8 p.m.
Curator's Talk: Sunday, July 20 at 1 p.m. with curator Lisa Baldissera
Public Lecture: Sunday, September 7 at 7 p.m. with Irene Faber, Head of Collections, Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam Jewish Community Centre – 715 McKinnon Avenue, Saskatoon.
The work of Emily Carr (1871-1945) is nationally respected for its pioneering of modernity in Western Canada. In her early career, Carr travelled to the United Kingdom to study art, determined to expand her creative vision. Instead, her time there (1899 to 1904), proved to be among the more challenging ordeals of her life, culminating in an 18-month hospitalization with the diagnosis of "hysteria." Surprisingly, it became a formative point in her career, one where she resolutely declared her sense of her own Canadian as well as artistic identity.
This project, curated by Lisa Baldissera, Chief Curator, Mendel Art Gallery, is the first significant presentation of Emily Carr's work in Saskatchewan in almost 20 years. It considers Carr's London years to explore notions of the artistic imaginary and artistic identity. It touches on a variety of critical frameworks: the theme of exile, readings of affect and interspecies theory; an examination of hysteria and the clinic which moves beyond the psychoanalytic frameworks of the 1990s, and the concept of "unproductivity" in creative work.
A Vital Force: The Canadian Group of Painters
June 27 to September 14, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, June 27 at 8 p.m.
Talk/Tour: Sunday, June 29 at 1 p.m. with curator Alicia Boutilier
The significance of the first exhibition … is that it sums up the growth and development of the liberal spirit and demonstrates what a vital force it is. — Robert Ayre, The Canadian Forum, 1933
The Canadian Group of Painters (CGP) was the first to aspire to cross-country representation of modernist artists. It lasted from 1933 to 1967, but its strength of influence lay in the first two decades of its existence. When it burst upon the scene in its founding year, the Group pronounced itself "a direct outgrowth of the Group of Seven … drawn from the whole of Canada." Twenty years later, it proclaimed a "tremendous development" had taken place: "This does not necessarily mean that localized imagery has been abandoned by artists, but it does mean that the imagery employed has become more cosmopolitan."
Sympathetic Magic
June 27 to September 14, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, June 27 at 8 p.m.
Talk/Tour: Saturday, September 13 at 1 p.m. with curator Troy Gronsdahl
Canada has cultivated and maintained a strong symbolic connection with the northern landscape. The artistic production of Canada's renowned early painters, the Group of Seven and their ilk, has both defined artistic practice at home and Canada abroad. As art historian John O'Brian observes in Wild Art History, "The land and its representations are knotted together, not unlike two other words with an affinity to landscape in contemporary thought — nation and nationalism." The country as depicted by the progenitors of the Canadian landscape tradition is a pristine, untamed, and unpeopled place. A history of colonization and the development of the modern Canadian state are registered on countless paintings and postcards. Popular depictions of the landscape are telling: Canada is rich in natural beauty, abundant in resources, and open for business.

Opening Reception: Friday, June 27 at 8 p.m.
Sean Weisgerber and Marie Lannoo have shared studio space for close to three years and they have developed their project in response to working in such close proximity.
