By Sam Sorkin @samsportfan23
While Golden State's exhibition games so far have measured one win and two losses, the preseason isn't really about focusing on wins and losses. Rather, these games are for ironing out kinks in the offense or defense, testing out how new additions mesh with those already with the team or how players adjust to new positions, and watching the development of young players competing for the last roster spots.
Golden State's first couple of preseason games have shown me certain important aspects that pertain to the Warriors and how they fare come the real games.
The Addition of Andre Iguodala
Iguodala has already shown he is a willing perimeter passer, either slashing or on the perimeter. Andre is someone who can score while attacking the rim and shoot the jumper, though shooting is not exactly his best skill. Iguodala can get out on the break and is dangerous in the open court. Having Iguodala on the floor means Golden State has a second creator who will take pressure off of Stephen Curry, as well as someone who can finish on the break. Iguodala averaged 5.4 assists last season for the Nuggets, and is one of the best all-around players in the league. His cutting is superb and can find players while on the move, a must for Mark Jackson's screen-heavy offense. In the Warriors' second preseason game (against the Kings), Iguodala had an especially deft pass, to a wide-open Curry in the corner, while cutting down the middle of the floor, something no other players on the roster can execute. In that game, Iguodala also passed up an open shot of his own for a Stephen Curry corner three, which, of course, he made. This ability and will to spread the ball around the floor will increase open shots for Curry, Klay Thompson (more on him later), and Harrison Barnes.
Iguodala has definitely displayed his worth defensively, as his active hands, athleticism and length have caused many deflections and steals, which in turn have led to fast-break chances and increased shots at the rim. In their first game against the Los Angeles B-squad, the Dubs had 29 fast-break points, many of which came off Los Angeles turnovers and defensive deflections.
Competition for the Final Starting Spot
The acquisition of the 2012 All-Star Iguodala would force either Barnes or Thompson, two young players who both were coming off breakout postseasons, to the bench; it seemed as though rising sophomore Harrison Barnes would become the team's new sixth man. However, this preseason Mark Jackson has experimented with lineups a bit, starting Barnes and having Thompson come off the bench in the first two preseason games.
However, what was a significant quandary for the Preacher was made easier by the wings' contributions through the first two games. Barnes had more turnovers (4) than field goals made (3) in game 1 in 29 minutes, whilst Thompson played decisively and showed improvement around the basket.
Last season, Thompson did much of his damage on three-pointers and jump shots, and when his jumper wasn't falling, the Washington State product would often be stagnant and unwilling to attack the basket - just 2.7 percent of Thompson's points in the regular season came from free throws, per NBA.com. The playoffs weren't much better; Thompson couldn't even manage one free throw per game. Yet insofar as the preseason goes, Thompson has shown significant improvement in this previous area of major concern, posting up smaller defenders and attacking the rim strongly and decisively.
While Barnes is dealing with a nagging foot injury that held him out of Tuesday's game at Utah and limited him to just six minutes on Monday, Klay is seizing this opportunity to show the staff that he deserves to be starting. He has shown an increased aggressiveness attacking the rim, an area of weakness last season, and has scored in all different varieties, from post-ups to fast-break dunks to the usual coming off of down screens. It is looking more and more likely that Mark Jackson's regular season lineup will include Thompson as the other wing starter with Iguodala, Curry, Bogut, and Lee firmly entrenched at their positions.
With Thompson, Golden State adds a proven outside shooter who has obviously shown an improved inside game as well. Golden State's whole offensive game is reliant on threes, as last year they led the league in three-point percentage and had the league's number one three point shooter in Stephen Curry, as well as number three in Thompson. Three point shots are worth more than two-pointers, and with Thompson and Curry starting, two of the league's best and most efficient three-point shooters, I believe Golden State will be that much more lethal on offense. Not to mention, Thompson is a better defender than Barnes. Barnes would be a better fit as a sixth man and as the number one option off the bench. Last season as a starter, Barnes was sometimes out of the loop offensively and stood around watching plays develop. However, in the playoffs after David Lee went down, Barnes became a bigger part of the offense and really made strides offensively, attacking smaller defenders at the rim, and taking advantages of mismatches galore. With his size and skill-set, Barnes would feast on second unit defenders, and that's what would make him better suited for the sixth man role.
With a healthy Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala, Golden State should be much improved on defense this year, and reaching the top-ten in defensive efficiency (last season: 14th, per NBA.com) should be easily attained. Bogut has seemed faster and even more active on defense and rebounding; in just 17 minutes against the Lakers, he had 12 rebounds. He even is showing off the hustle, as I counted two or three times he dove on the floor for a loose ball, putting his body on the line as if it was Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Already this preseason, Golden State players look more active, looking to deflect and steal balls to start a fast break. Off the bench, Toney Douglas has really harassed opposing guards all 94 feet of the court, causing deflections and turnovers from pressured second units. The new additions, Jermaine O'Neal and Marreese Speights, have also been active on the defensive end blocking and altering shots.
Golden State's roster is extremely deep, with at least two or three distinctive players at each spot, something that hasn't been the case with the Warriors in many years. Golden State's second unit, however, will be made up of all either new additions or players in different or increased roles, and this could lead to struggles on offense when in the game. Toney Douglas, signed to be the backup point guard, and Nemanja Nedovic, Golden State's first-round draftee, are not "pure" point guards; they are more attacking guards who aren't familiar with Golden State's offensive sets. Draymond Green, while he has been in the system for a year, still does not really have a set position or any offensive skills he can go to to create his own shot. The same goes for Kent Bazemore, who, while he dominated Summer League, will eventually realize that the regular season is much tougher than glorified offseason scrimmages. Harrison Barnes is really the only adequate shot-creator in the second unit, and defenses could key in on him as the only threat off the bench.
One of the reasons that a solid bench is so important to have is because of the uncertainty of the health of Golden State's two most important players, Curry and Bogut. They've both had issues over the past few seasons: Can Stephen Curry do what he did last year in playing a career high in games and minutes played? Is Andrew Bogut truly as healthy as he says he is? Golden State must work on their bench, that, while deep, needs to have a few different offensive threats to be taken seriously. We saw last year in the Eastern Conference Finals how important bench play was, and some say it was the factor that kept Indiana from going to the Finals. Golden State's bench needs to find ways to get good shots, and most significantly, points, when on the floor.
While it is only preseason, there are signs that the signings and improvement made in the offseason could have a substantial effect on how the team improves from last year. Golden State's all-around aggressiveness, on defense, attacking the basket, and hunting great shots, will be a staple of this team and could be the aspect not there last year that could push this year's team to new heights.

FightHype Update: Rules of Conduct Update-October 24, 2011
This is a heads up that we are receiving complaints about sexual harassment on the forum with certain members of this community engaging in misconduct against a female member with stereotyped and suggestive comments. A suggestive and discriminating picture that these three members posted in their avatars had to be removed. We have updated rule #2 above to include that sexual harassment WILL NOT BE TOLERATED ON THESE BOARDS! No names will be mentioned, but the offenders and victim know who they are, and we know who they are, as we were forced to delete the suggestive content today.
Sexual harassment does not encourage others to join or community and violates our most basic and #1 rule around here. TREAT USERS AND STAFFERS WITH RESPECT. Negativity percent warnings will be issued to any users who engage in sexual harassment or any other type of discrimination on these boards, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG USERS HAVE BEEN WITH THIS FORUMY!
This is a boxing and MMA community. You are free to talk about these related topics. You may also talk about non-boxing topics in the General Non-Boxing Discussion forum but please do not engage in topics of a discriminating nature. Note that Internet experience and behaviors throughout Internet forums around the world as shown that religion, politics, and gender-stereotyping often produce very heated and hated debates. Almost every one of those types of topics turns into a piss-fight flame war. So please fellow users, do your best to avoid those kinds of topics that produce hatred and flame wars throughout the forums and gives everyone a bad rap. We will reserve the right to warn, suspend, and even ban those accounts and users who engage in repeated discrimination practices. These behaviors stop as of now.

Watch for Sale: Tudor Rose Logo Hand Wind, late 60ies or early 70ies, Rolex Crown, in excellent condition, overall 97%
Why I think this
watch is interesting:
As usual, I am not hiding anything, I am not sure whether this watch had a dial refurbishing, but whoever put his hands on this watch, was a true master. The dial looks just too flawless for the age, someone must have "refreshed" the dial. But what puzzled me, is that everything seems to be so original, the hands, the luminous dots, the hands, just the color of the dial must have been redone by a really skillful artist!
The watch is really like new. As usual I inspected the watch thoroughly with my number 1 loupe (10x magnification). The only thing worth to comment I found were some really really tiny hairlines at 9 o'clock, the previous owner or most likely the shop owner where I found the watch, must have stored the watch in crown-up position. But I guarantee, you will not be able to see this hairlines with the naked eye!
The whole case and the back sparkle like a mirror, whoever refurbished it, was a master! I have a hard time giving this one away. Please write me, if you are interested. I would really love if this watch would find a permanent home and not go to a reseller, thank you!
Details about this Watch
Price: Is firm, my margins are very
small, no additional discounts sorry. See the
TUDOR overview table for the price
Dimensions (mm):
Case diameter (excl.crown): 34
Height: 10 only because it is Hand wind
Lug to Lug: 41
Lug width: 19
Beautiful Brown "Jean Simone" leather strap with Alligator pattern and "Jean Simone" signed buckle
That is a little piece of dust the crown, and not a hairline!
The movement is over 95 condition, I give it 97%, the only reason is that age discoloration under the TUDOR inscription, but this discoloration is not permanent and will completely disappear if the watch is undergoing service at a serious watchmaker's workshop.
The slight coloring near the 21 RUBIES below the TUDOR inscription is age caused discoloration and will definitely and completely disappear in a normal ultra-sonic cleansing machine (please use the back button of your browser to come back here) as any serious watchmaker is using when servicing a movement
This is a picture of a "butchered" movement - not the movement in my TUDOR! Just as an example what could expect you in an otherwise nice looking watch. Somebody had simply glued the shock protection together with some two component adhesive, that watch is not serviceable anymore, no way you could disassemble that shock protection and oil the balance staff... I would never sell a watch in a condition like this, but I like to show this example to make you aware of the risks buying vintage from not trustworthy sources.

So am I the only one who thinks the Canadian Mounties sounds like some sort of weird porn company or something?
Of course, technically they're really called the "Royal Canadian Mounted Police". Which actually sounds even worse, thinking about it. It's one thing for your police force to be mounting people, it's quite another for your police force to be getting mounted. That makes them sound both creepy and inept.
Anyway, random wiki of the day: some farm in New York that apparently has some kind of historic value by virtue of being really old.
The Thomas N. Wheeler Farm is located on Indian Lake Road (Dutchess County Route 61) in the Town of North East, New York, United States, south of the village of Millerton. It is a frame house built at the beginning of the 19th century in the Federal style.
It is one of the earliest surviving intact farmsteads in the Coleman Station Historic District. In 1993, when the district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house and another building on the property were recognized as contributing properties to its historic character. Seven years later it was listed on the Register in its own right.

'Persistently unclear' Skype privacy rules need clarification, Web user groups tell Microsoft
By Martha Neil
Jan 25, 2013, 12:15 pm CDT
I've seen the transparency reports from Google, but I think that's just Google being weird. Maybe a few companies are following suit, but certainly it's more of the norm for companies to be quite tight-lipped about such things.
Calling on Skype for transparency is within the activists' prerogative, but without any real clout, I don't see them getting much movement. If Microsoft was inclined to disclose more than necessary, I'm guessing they would have done so already.

Very nice staff!
Our delayed flight arrived 12 hours later than we were planning and we checked into the hotel at 6 in the morning. At check-in, they extended our checkout time, as we were exhausted from our tiring flight and provided us with missing items, such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, due to our luggage being missing. The hotel is in easy walking distance to Gallerias. The hotel is a bit hidden and easy to miss. Overall we had a great short stay at this hotel!

(WRCB) - Warmer weather will be settling in for the rest of the week, and it looks like we may see some showers this weekend.
High pressure to our south is starting to give us a light southerly breeze that will help temperatures climb into the low 80s this afternoon. Yesterday we had a crisp high of 74.
That warming trend will continue through the rest of the week with our highs reaching the mid 80s Wednesday through Friday.
Right now, it looks like we may see some scattered showers for the weekend. A weak front will stall to our north this week, and may slip south into the area on Saturday. It would not bring us any severe weather, but could bring some showers Saturday, Sunday, and even into Monday. Stay tuned!

I guess since it was named the choices have increased as it is now a choice of 3 starters, mains and deserts.
I'm fairly Michelin stared restaurants jaded since my broker days, just how much and often can you eat fois and truffle (ok quite a lot!). So 21212 proved to be an absolute treat.
The food was stunningly amazing, rather than being a chunk of protein with veg as you'd find in traditional restaurants, each dish here was a construction of small parts across the plate incorporating textures and flavours, all of which complimented each other impeccably. even the soup which you'd might imagine to be a mundane course was a total tasty treat, on our visit seasonal vegetable with hearty helping of seasonal veg in it.
My description doesn't in anyway do the menu justice, but safe to say we'll be back soon and as an especial treat maybe stay in one of the rooms too.

It can get pretty loud out in the back of the Richland County Sheriff's Department. But while David Collins and his staff are working to link guns, bullets, or shell casings to criminal investigations, there's a lot of other activity inside the building of a much quieter nature.
In the drug and fire debris lab for instance.
"What we'll first do is actually identify the substance microscopically," said forensic chemist Andy Farmer.
That's where Farmer tries to establish whether materials seized by deputies are in fact drugs, or in some cases, evidence of arson.
Farmer says the lab is top notch, and one of the best in the southeast.
"The sophistication level and the instrumentation rivals anything that we have in the state and any other county laboratories," said Farmer.
Collins, a ballistics expert in the lab, agrees.
"All your resources are very close by. You have your investigators nearby if you need to obtain additional information about the incident location or other factors about the crime scene. You have -- due to the logistics of the situation -- we also have generally a faster turnaround time on our results," said Collins.
You won't find Rachel Grant disagreeing either. She works in Richland County's DNA lab. It's one of only three run by Sheriff's Departments in South Carolina. The others are in Greenville and Beaufort.
Convinced that DNA analysis would fundamentally change law enforcement and the county needed its own operation, Sheriff Leon Lott pushed council members to fund the lab more than a decade ago.
"We do DNA on all of our cases," said Lott. "It doesn't matter if your mailbox gets knocked down. So we're solving little cases that would never be solved without the use of DNA. Every deputy here knows how to process a scene and get DNA evidence."
"It's fun in a way," said Grant. "Because we're putting pieces together, we're trying to solve these crimes and we're trying to find the bad guy."
Richland County's crime-busting effort goes doesn't stop there. The department does its own fingerprint and shoe impression identification.
"It's financially a lot less expensive for us to run something through our AFIS system than it is for them to pull out a kit and run it through DNA," said fingerprint analyst Trisha Odom.
The county's fingerprint capabilities paid off in a big way in 2009. Experts there used a bloody handprint to find and charge a suspect in the murder of Malverse O'Neil, who was stabbed to death in his home. That case had been unsolved for almost four years.
While finger and shoe prints have been part of criminal investigations for more than a century, Richland County is also trying to stay on the cutting edge of technical advances. Grant has been exploring the use of what's known as "touch" DNA.
"Yes, technologies are so sensitive that if you were to touch an item and I were to come behind you and swab it, most likely I'm going to be able to get your profile off of that item," said Grant.
The county's CSI unit has been working with a device called the Leica ScanStation. It creates 3-D images of a crime scene.
"It's a laser scanner that scans 360 degrees around and a 270 degree arc. And it's used for taking laser measurements and documenting interiors or exteriors of crime scenes," said CSI tech Mike Bouknight. Lott's department still can't pull off many of the technological feats depicted on TV cop shows, but the sheriff says what his staff can do is enough to not only solve crimes but even prevent them.
"I think the bad guys watch TV, they read the paper. They see what you publicize that we're able to do. And then I think some of them make that decision, I'm going to go somewhere else," said Lott.
One of Lott's toughest challenges might be attracting and keeping personnel from going somewhere else. Lab techs are in high demand. They do have other options. Some pay better than Richland County. Lott says he compensates in part with a good working environment. That's been effective so far and staffers who have been offered other jobs have decided to stay put.

Wednesday a Mexican National is jailed in Lubbock because according to a criminal complaint he was moving what the document calls "undocumented aliens" for money.
In mid-February a U.S. Border Patrol agent pulled over 31-year-old Aron Leal-Nogeda in Garza County for speeding. Upon investigation, the agent realized Leal-Nogeda had 5 other passengers in the car with him who were "illegally present in the United States."
They were all taken to the U.S. Border Patrol station here in Lubbock. According to the indictment, Leal-Nogeda is charged with transportation of illegal aliens and aiding and abetting.

Beauchemin for a first round defense prospect Jake Gardiner and Joffrey Lupul. I think this was a fantastic trade for the Leafs and may set the bar for a guy like Phillips(ie, in cap hit, slightly more physical, a little less offensive, but overall similar). Gardiner appears to be a fantastic offensive prospect with loads of talent and potential and was 17th overall in 2008. Won gold with Sweden in World Jrs in 2010. Has 30 pts in 30 games (albeit in NCAA). Joffrey Lupul is a gamble based on his crazy year + of injuries/blood infection, but if healthy he also has loads of talent and never really had a chance to peak in terms of production. At just over 4m/year and 2 more years on his contract, he has the opportunity to make his money well worth it if he can round back into form by the end of the summer (or possibly by the end of this season).
Does this set the precedent for the value of Phillips and other potential deadline offloads? Does Phillips' value increase above what we previously thought based on this precedent?

I dont have has much of an issue with Scott Linehan....and I also think its way too early to jump on the back of Scott Linehan so far this season, and by the way lets keep in mind, Linehan cant do much about the huge plays the defense has given up so far this year, the horendus secondary, and the underachieving play of the D-Line...........He's a lot better than what we've had in the past, and in all fairness to him, Stafford hasnt been himself this year.....funny you know when I heard the term "Madden Curse" I assumed Calvin Johnson would be affected lol. Didnt think about this scenerio . But Seriously, i'll give Linehan a couple more games to see if the kinks can get worked out of this offense, and honestly I am starting to have an issue with Gunther Cunningham and Jim Schwartz....
As far as Cunningham is concerned in particular, I haven't liked him, never have, and never will.........As far as last season, the D was a problem for me, .....The defense was 23rd in the NFL last year, and the Run Defense was a problem as they were giving up 130 yrds/game...and when your defensive line has Ndamnukong Suh, Cliff Avril and Kyle Vanden Bosch up front that are supposed to be wrecking havoc, and making the job of the DB's easier, thats unacceptable...... 22nd in defense pts and the 5th most penalized defense in football along with giving up 2000 yards on the ground, and tied for 2nd in the league with 5.0 yds /rush, and 6th in the NFL for rushes more than 40 yards and tied for 4th in the league with 16 rushes for more than 20+yds????
This season it seems like more of the same on defense after playing SF, and Tennesee......and if its not stopping the run, its stopping big plays on offense.......You simply can't give up 5 yards a rush like you did against the 49ers, and 20 yard first down passes regularly against both the 49ers and the Titans making Alex Smith look like Joe Flacco, and making Jake Locker look like Tom Brady and expect win.
But I will say, in all fairness to the defense, you cant turn the ball over and take bad penalties and expect to win either. Minus -2 TO differential so far this year,.... and that brings me to Jim Schwartz,......This team still has discipline and fundamental issues and still takes bad, careless penalties when it matters the most, ....You think by now the message would have been sent to players? This is very frustrating and disappointing so far that these are still issues.
This team also still has issues on "D" with the personel.....They probably should have drafted corners and safetys in the first 2 rounds last year instead of a tackle who's not helping them right now, and a reciever with an injury history. They also could use an upgrade at the DT spot currently held by Corey Williams, as he's 32, and not the dominant, or big anchor type of lineman who can be "immovable" that you'd want next to a guy like Suh. Hopefully LeShore solves the running back problem, but it's only 1 game,....please lets not call him Barry Sanders yet. And for the love of god, i'll say it again,....they need an entire secondary.....they couldnt cover a reciver with a blanket, and probably couldnt cover Jason Hanson if ever decided to play him as a "secret weapon" 42 yr old kicker/reciver hybrid that we've been hiding for 20 years because we've been waiting for the right time to use it!!!! By the way....Danny Crossman was supposed to be this big special teams coaching, upgrade...I havent seen it yet

I may take heat from pissed off Penn fans but I'll deal with it. Bj has provided fight fans with some of the most amazing fights and memorable moments in the history of our sport.Whether it was choking out Matt Hughes or licking the blood of Joe Stevenson off his gloves. Bj had a natural talent that was unparalleled in the sport at the time and almost based purely off of his talent, became a champion in two divisions. He will forever be remembered as one of the best fighters ever in MMA.
One problem though, he will also be remembered as one of the greatest disappointments in MMA as well. the reason for this is that although he had all the potential in the world, he did not achieve the lofty goals that come along with it. He did not take his fight career nearly as seriously as much lesser talented fighters who work their bodies and minds to the brink every single day. Men who sacrifice everything they have in order to have just one chance at achieving what Bj Penn had, even if just for a moment. Bj didnt have to sacrifice much to get to where he is. He has KO power, an incredible chin, killer instinct, speed, wrestling, Bjj skills that gave him the name of the prodigy, and incredible flexibility to boot. The only thing he didn't have was the drive to put in the hard work. He didn't have to give up food for his family or worry about mortgage payments so why should he put his blood, sweat, and tears into training every day.
Enter Rory Macdonald. A 23 year old phenom being called the next GSP. Among the fastest rising prospects in the UFC, he has shown talent and skills that are absolutely amazing for someone his age. Sound familiar? The key difference is that Rory works his ass off every single day in the gym improving himself, learning new things, confronting his weaknesses and honing his strengths. Every single day Rory puts himself through pain that nearly all men would cry at the prospect of having to feel even half of it.
Rory is part of what is called the "new breed" of fighter. The UFC uses is as part of a hyperbole but I take it quite literally. Rory is part of the new breed of fighter that knows that natural talent is not enough anymore. You need to put yourself through hell during that training camp to make sure when fight time comes, no matter what is thrown at you, you can not only take it, but get back up and push through the adversity without fading. I don't mean just heart because Bj has that. Bj however does not put himself through a hellish training camp like he should and therefore stuff like the Nick Diaz fight happens or his fight with Fitch. He didn't give up yet at the same time he did. Except he gave up in the camp before the fight.
Back to my actual title. Bj must lose to Rory because it's time for everyone to realize that hard workers will always come out on top in the end. Bj may have more natural talent then Rory but I do not think he will win. Rory has shown and will show how much more he wants to win. At UFC on Fox 5, the Prodigy is put to rest.

A second student has died after fire swept an off-campus apartment near the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
A spokeswoman for Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis says 21-year-old Jacob Clarkson died Tuesday. Clarkson's family issued a statement saying they will "miss him more than words can say." Family members say they are honoring Clarkson's decision to be an organ donor.
Clarkson was severely burned in Monday's fire and had been in critical condition. The fire also killed his roommate, 21-year-old Ross Livermore.
Two other roommates escaped the fire and have been released from a local hospital. All of the roommates were friends from Stillwater, Minnesota.

Balance-Restoring Insoles
Wearable shoe inserts that improve balance
Balance in humans relies on complex feedback from the senses that govern the body's mechanical stability. But with aging and diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's, sensory function can diminish -- dulling the feedback that keeps healthy people steady on their feet.
One in three adults aged 65 and older falls every year and more than 18,000 older adults die from injuries sustained during such falls. These largely preventable incidents are also the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma.
The Wyss Solution
Wyss Institute and Boston University researchers have discovered that random and subtle vibrations, too gentle to be felt, can improve the sensory system and may restore stability. Devices in shoes can deliver these vibrations, essentially "jazzing" up the foot's sensory experience and boosting nerve cell sensitivity to external signals.
The technical term is "stochastic resonance" (SR), which is the counter-intuitive idea that applying a small amount of "noise" to a nonlinear system -- the body in this case -- can actually increase the sensitivity of the system. In other words, noise can be very constructive if applied properly -- and in the case of the insoles, the noise introduced to the user's feet is the subtle random vibrations.
How it works
Mechanical actuators are embedded into the vibrating insole devices, which are designed to be inserted into any type of footwear. The device would provide sensory enhancement stimulation to the user's feet. For an elderly individual, this sensory enhancement stimulation could potentially improve their sense of balance, which has been shown to be related to fall risk. For a wearer with diabetes, the vibrating insole might restore some of the sensation that is lost through the disease and could eventually decrease the risk of ulceration.
Potential applications:
- Acceleration of rehabilitation
- Stroke victims and diabetic patients (to reduce incidence of foot ulcers)
- Elderly (improved balance)
- Children with cerebral palsy (leg orthotics)
- Athletes (e.g., rock climbers)
- Workplace safety (e.g., steel workers working on tall structures)
Caution: Investigational Device. Limited by US Law to investigational use.

I seen on Amirs twitter that he said he wants Floyd before he retires, Pac and his advisor said Pacquiao is the only one who cam really test mayweather, ans Canelo said he will tell GB he wants floyd next and that he wamts floyd to come to him (154) so for Sept 14 who makes the most sense. Or is there someone else that will be in that other corner on Sept 14

Canelo - UD That weight advantage may lead to something. People talk about rehydration clauses, well when Pac supposedly used it, it was shunned, but now people call for it to make this fight?
Garcia - UD He may land clean, he may even KD Mayweather, but the amount of times Judah hit him well, we'll see. I'd be curious at what his dad would say to Mayweather or would be respectful?
Khan - maybe gets KOed but Mayweather will be defensive, so we'll see how he does, he doesn't over commit to punches like the people that catch Khan out, no swinging.
Pac - UD he'll clearly be careful because this fight will be who gets that left/right hand landed, so Mayweather won't over commit, but he doesn't really throw an overhand right, its a straight.
Broner - Gets hit to easily, UD Mayweather, hell he may even stop him depending how he takes a punch at 147lb.
Cotto - Maybe, but after Cotto not looking so great vs Trout I don't think so unless he gets some sort of decent win and soon. It'll be a one sided affair is Cotto joins Roach. If he sticks with his current coach I think he can do well again. UD
Alexander - Tactical as fuck and the crowd will boo, unless Floyd stops him or something. UD Floyd.
I mean Floyd seems to be constantly going for the KO, not like swinging but trying to set it up, but his hands seem to get in the way, anybody know if hes still shooting his hands up? I take it if hes feeling pain them thats a no.

In his most recent production, "SoLe Sanctuary," tapper Savion Glover credits direction and choreography to "Spirits known." To Glover's mind, these "spirits" are the great tap dancers, some deceased, some still dancing, who have carried the art form forward over the years — Jimmy Slyde, Lon Chaney, Gregory Hines, Sammy Davis Jr., Buster Brown, Dianne Walker, and Honey Coles, to name just a few. "SoLe Sanctuary," which Celebrity Series of Boston and World Music/CRASHarts present Saturday at the Boston Opera House, is Glover's homage to them, and it is part memorial, part celebration.
"Every production I do is a tribute to them who have paved the way, but this one speaks directly to that," Glover, 39, says from his studio in New York. "It's the first time I actually have their pictures onstage with a voice-over that speaks to their contributions. The show is basically my sanctuary, my place of prayer and honor to them, giving thanks to their existence and everything they've contributed to dance and the world. These are people I've been fortunate enough to spend time with, learn from, and love."

For its 2012 Dream Home, HGTV chose a picturesque setting in a neighboring state familiar to Arizonans.
The home is situated in Midway, Utah, near Park City -- home to the famed Sundance Film Festival and a favorite destination of skiers and outdoor enthusiasts.
PHOTOS: Take a tour
Interior designer Linda Woodrum has worked on every HGTV Dream Home for the past 16 years. From her house in Hilton Head, S.C., she chatted with us recently about how this one in particular inspired her.
On her first visit to the building site last winter, Woodrum says the white snow, blue sky and Provo River, which flows behind the home, instantly struck her. She knew the interior color palette had to be blue and white.
"I had a very emotional reaction to this beautiful river -- the water moving over the rocks, this immense, beautiful sky. It was so peaceful.
I realized this house really had to be connected to the views," said Woodrum, adding that her color choices also mirror "how the mountains turn blue in the afternoon."
The two-story Utah home, in a rustic-modern ranch-style, will be given away in March. Starting Thursday, Dec. 29, fans can enter once per day at hgtv.com and once daily at frontdoor.com for a chance to win the 4,000-square-foot home, $500,000 in cash and a 2012 GMC Terrain SUV.
On Monday, Jan. 2, HGTV will air its Dream Home 2012 special, starring Woodrum and HGTV hosts Monica Pedersen and John Giddings, who will take viewers on a full-scale tour.
For Woodrum, the home's showpiece is its great room, with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, wood beams and gray limestone-veneer walls from a local quarry. The room (as well as the home) hits a lot of current design trends, starting with the bold ikat prints hanging above the grand stone fireplace, and the blue, white and neutral accents throughout.
Those colors continue into the adjoining kitchen/dining room, where Woodrum used a blue-and-white ikat print on the dining chairs. The kitchen cabinets are a mix of white and oatmeal-toned oak with clean, modern lines.
A large, sleek kitchen island is topped with a neutral gray-beige quartz countertop. And the backsplash provides another big pop of color with cobalt square-glass tiles.
Dark Brazilian chestnut floors run throughout the first floor's main rooms. Also on this floor: a family/game room, a powder room and a one-of-a-kind "changing room" with a full bath and sauna.
Woodrum said this room is all about transitioning from outdoor activities to the indoors. The changing room is decorated with a fly-fishing theme (and equipment) and has a cozy reading chair and ottoman.
"This is a dream home, so you really have fun developing this idea," she said, adding that the Provo River is a big draw for people who love to fish. "It's definitely one of the great mountain trout-fishing rivers in Utah."
Other 2012 Dream Home features include a grid-tied photovoltaic solar system to defray the home's energy costs, multiple washers and dryers in the ample first-floor laundry/pet room, a children's nook/play area and separate staircases to the two upstairs bedrooms with en-suite baths.
The stair rail to the master bedroom's sitting area is another Woodrum favorite: She used clear glass between posts of local timber.
"It's very clean and contemporary," she said.
The master bedroom, with its own balcony overlooking the entertainment deck and fire pit, is separated from a seating area at the top of the stairs by rustic-modern barn doors.
Elsewhere, the home embraces more traditional tones, including the wall-to-wall, blue-and-white gingham carpeting in the second upstairs bedroom suite. The room has a modern-classic Americana theme.
Woodrum says her other favorite home-design feature is the ample outdoor space. It has several covered patios -- all of them connected by a boardwalk-style walkway.
There's a covered outdoor living room with a fireplace, television and grilling area; an entertainment deck that surrounds a large, contemporary fire pit; and a hot-tub deck. All of the outdoor living space is surrounded by natural landscaping using mostly meadow grasses that tie in to the home's natural setting.
Overall, Woodrum says she's thrilled with how much the home fits its picturesque location. From a small, covered porch off the family room, she says the views appear timeless -- the way they might have when the first ranchers settled here.
"I love this house," Woodrum says. "When you're in the house and the wind comes up, the meadow grass moves. It's so soothing and so peaceful. It really takes you away."
HGTV hosts Monica Pedersen and John Giddings will take viewers on a visual tour of the HGTV Dream Home 2012 at 11 a.m. (and again at 9 p.m.) Monday, Jan. 2. Interior designer Linda Woodrum and house planner Jack Thomasson will also talk about their work during the special.
Dream-home fans can enter to win Thursday, Dec. 29, through Friday, Feb. 17. The giveaway prize package is valued at more than $2 million and includes the three-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath Utah home, $500,000 cash and a 2012 GMC Terrain SUV. The winner will be announced in March. Visit hgtv.com/dreamhome for more photos and home tours.
The HGTV Dream Home 2012 is located in Midway, Utah near Park City.

Jabari Brown hit a three with 54 seconds left in the game to lift the No. 25 Missouri Tigers to a 68-64 win over N.C. State Saturday night in Raleigh.
The three from Brown put the Tigers up by one and answered a triple from the Wolfpack's Ralston Turner just 47 seconds earlier.
N.C. State had a chance to tie the game, but Turner missed from long range with 10 seconds left. Two free throws from Tony Criswell put the game away.
Jordan Clarkson led Missouri with 21 points, though that came partly because of his 9-of-10 shooting night from the free-throw line. He was just 5-of-15 from the field.
T.J. Warren led N.C. State with another dominating performance. He had 24 points on 11-of-23 shooting to go along with 13 rebounds. No other N.C. State player attempted more than 11 shots.
With the win, Missouri narrowly avoided a second consecutive loss. The Tigers dropped one to Illinois a week ago. Meanwhile N.C. State saw it's seven-game winning streak snapped and will look to rebound Monday against UNC-Greensboro.

(RNN) – The Boston Marathon bombing suspect is awake and responding to questions from law enforcement.
USA Today reports Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is writing answers to questions on a piece of paper.
Tsarnaev is listed in serious condition and under guard at Beth-Israel Deaconness Medical Center.
His older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was pronounced dead at the same hospital after a shootout with police early Friday in Watertown, MA. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev backed an SUV over his older brother as he fled the scene, possibly inflicting the wounds that killed him. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev remained at large for hours before he was captured Friday evening after a massive manhunt.
A special interrogation team for high-value suspects planned to question Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, The Associated Press reported earlier.
The Tsarnaev brothers are suspected of placing two bombs at the Boston Marathon on Monday where three people died and more than 170 suffered injuries. The bombs were homemade, manufactured using pressure cookers containing ball bearings and other metal shrapnel.
The motive in the terror attack remains a mystery.

After a quick series of direct message non-public twitter conversations today, I realized once again the value of contributing or sharing information with others in the SAP Community. I think the most important part of it is that someone was able to benefit from something that I contributed over a year ago. I have also seen this in other cases where the blog or content was several years old and then I have to figure out what I written.
Unfortuantely right now this blog is going to be more "do as I say, not as I do" as I have been on radio silence from SCN for the last several months. However I have a good explanation which is of couse the following
- I'm writing a book with a friend of mine on a whole series of CRM technical topics(need to be finished by October 1st)
- I'm training for half marathon which means when I'm not writing in the evenings, I'm running
- I still need to have a personal life outside of everything else
That being said my twitter conversation today still showed me that my old contributions still can have an impact. It also proved to me that I enjoy answering/helping others in the community when my time allows and I have the bandwidth to engage back. Right now I think I'm not seeking out questions to answer, but rather if they pop across my radar and don't get lost in my inboxes or shuffle I try to answer. I can't answer everything quickly, however there is a question in my inbox that I will try to answer in the future when possible. The strange part is somehow it's related to a chapter that I'm working on for the book, but not a result of the book.

6. Sale of Marine Corps uniform materials for the manufacture of uniforms for enlisted personnel is not authorized, except when enlisted personnel are authorized to wear officer-type uniforms and then therefore are also authorized to procure officer uniform materials, findings, patterns, and specifications.
2. Alterations to uniform clothing of enlisted personnel will be made at Government expense when authorized by organization supply officers according to instructions in the current edition of TM-10120-15/1, Technical Manual for Uniform Fitting and Alteration.
3. Care should be taken when contracting alteration services from a commercial vendor so that unauthorized or unneeded alteration procedures are not included in the contract. Uniforms are designed so as to minimize alteration costs. Alteration contracts can be reviewed periodically by contacting CG (855), MCLB Albany. Reports of an excessive number of fitting sessions are an indication that there may be problems with the alteration process.
4. Commanders will ensure that all alterations, either at Government expense or at the individual's expense, conform to the spirit and intent of these regulations. Every effort will be made to ensure that proper tailoring facilities are available to all personnel of the command. Personnel will be advised that alterations performed at other than designated military tailoring establishments will be the individual's responsibility and will conform strictly with these regulations and the current edition of TM-10120-15/1. 5. Wearing improperly altered uniform clothing is prohibited
