According to ESPN, Lance Stephenson has accepted an offer to play with the Charlotte Hornets. The deal is reportedly worth $27 million over the next three seasons.
The Pacers had offered Stephenson a five year deal that was worth $44 million. Apparently that deal wasn't enough for his perceived worth.
The Pacers apparently refused to offer him a shorter deal. Some players have taken a two year deal because the new television will be negotiated in 2016.
The deal with the Hornets will pay Stephenson about $9 million per season, slightly more than the Pacers $8.8.
Stephenson led the NBA in triple-doubles last season. He averaged 13.8 points per game while shooting 49-percent from the field. He also had 7.2 rebounds per game and led the team with 4.6 assists.
Pacers owner Herb Simon seemed annoyed at the situation following the owners meeting in Las Vegas.
"We made him a wonderful offer and they didn't think it was enough," Simon said. "So it's a simple situation."
Stephenson was the lone player who appeared to play with effort every night. Despite the potential to be volatile, Stephenson has a tremendous amount of potential. He has made huge strides since his rookie season and should be an All-Star next season.
Mid-season issues doomed the Pacers last season and one of the prevailing thoughts was that it had to do with Stephenson. Roy Hibbert appeared to call him out in one interview as well. Despite issues within the locker room, Hibbert tweeted out his support early Wednesday morning:
@StephensonLance Damn bro gonna miss having you around. One of the funniest teammates I've ever had. Dinner on you when we come to Char!
— Roy Hibbert (@Hoya2aPacer) July 16, 2014
The Pacers are now left without a play creator on the roster. George Hill isn't a true point guard and the offense could grind to a halt even with Stephenson on the court last season.
Reports have indicated that the Pacers have been looking at trade options, but nothing has come from it.
Larry Bird's goal when the season ended was to keep the core group together. Now Bird will have to figure out a plan B to keep this team competitive in a very tough Central Division.

S.C. Judge Sentences Defendant to Bible Study
It's well known that hot and dry places filled with religious extremists often produce judicial rulings that sound anomalous to Western ears. We've seen the phenomenon from Saudi Arabia to Iran to Pakistan and Sudan.
South Carolina is not going to buck that trend…
What would Jesus do?
A South Carolina judge not only sentenced a woman to eight years behind bars for driving drunk, but he also ordered the woman to read the Bible.
According to the Herald of Rock Hill, Circuit Court Judge Michael Nettles wants Cassandra Tolley to read the Old Testament and write for him a summary about Job.
I guess this is what creeping Sharia looks like. It's fun to substitute "Quran" for "Old Testament" and "Surat Al-Fatḥ" for the "Book of Job," and imagine whether people would be so sanguine about a civil official mandating that course of religious study, even if, as in this case, the defendant gave her consent.
Though at the same time, this woman can learn some powerful lessons from the Book of Job. After all, it's a story about a powerful, unaccountable authority figure being a dick to people under his command in order to teach an obscure lesson.

October 19
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "The home opener always is the hottest ticket of the season for the Pirates. Next year, it also will be the most expensive. The Pirates will hike the cost of season-ticket plans by an average of 9.1 percent next season. The team also set a special, higher price level for their April 14, 2015..." October 16
CBSSports.com "The Pirates plan to extend the $15.3 million qualifying offer to star free-agent catcher Russell Martin, league sources said. The Pirates made a multiyear offer to Martin sometime during the season, as was reported here, and are apparently serious in their efforts to try to retain Martin. The..." October 16
CBSSports.com "The Pirates made a late attempt to re-sign star catcher Russell Martin with an offer sometime during this season, but Martin is well-positioned for a monster payday after his terrific performance and there's no indication the sides are anywhere near close. The Pirates are said to have met on..." October 10
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "By the end of the 2014 season, the Pirates had six starting pitchers with more than 100 innings pitched. Four are under contract for next season. The other two are left-hander Francisco Liriano, who didn't have nearly the season he did in 2013 but was better down the stretch, and Edinson..." October 09
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Pirates general manager Neal Huntington has a lot of decisions to make during the offseason, but one thing he won't have to do — unless someone leaves — is interview candidates for the 2015 coaching staff.

Red Reporter "The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game Ladies and gentlemen, Johnny Cueto. The Reds' ace put an exclamation point on his stellar 2014 season by earning his twentieth win.

#Pirates Ike Davis left game due to flu-like symptoms, team says.
Cincinnati Enquirer "In the end, it may have just been avoiding their 87 loss of the season, but the Reds — and especially Ramon Santiago — didn't see it that way.

Davis back, feeling better after being ill yesterday. Martin (hamstring) out.
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Nearly a year after Johnny Cueto dropped the ball, Jay Bruce simply missed it. One reason the Cincinnati Reds are not playing meaningful baseball this fall is the poor performance of Bruce this season. Thought as of a core player for the Reds, Bruce has suffered through a dreadful season..." September 27
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The Pirates and Charlie Morton are considering surgery as an option to repair the sports hernia that ended Morton's season, manager Clint Hurdle said Thursday.

Hardball Talk "Charlie Morton missed a big chunk of the season with a sports hernia, was activated a couple of weeks ago and was shut right back down after he continued to feel pain. Now surgery may be in his future, reports Bill Brink." September 26
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "With the start of the postseason less than a week away, there's bound to be debate about which pitcher should start the Pirates' opening game. Francisco Liriano was the Opening Day starter and has sizzled over the past month. Gerrit Cole is a beast and already has big-game experience. Either..." September 26
Russell Martin left tonight's game with tightness in his left hamstring.
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Twenty-two years later, the spot where Sid Bream slid across home plate at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium is a parking lot. The physical evidence of one of the lowest points in Pirates history is gone. The Pirates washed away any haunting memories Tuesday with a champagne shower at Turner Field..." September 24
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Bargain-hunting general manager Neal Huntington got it right last winter when he signed right-hander Edinson Volquez to a one-year, $5 million contract. If the Pirates are interested in re-signing Volquez, who will become a free agent after this season, he said the feeling is mutual. "Why..." September 23
CBSSports.com "Thanks to their comfortable 4.5-game lead in the wild-card race, the Pirates are in position to go to the postseason for the second straight year. They're only 2.5 games back of the Cardinals in the NL Central with a week remaining in the season. One of the biggest reasons why the Pirates will..." September 22
Hardball Talk "Pirates catcher Russell Martin knocked in the Pirates' only run in Sunday's 1-0 win against the Brewers, helping them inch their way closer to punching at least a ticket to the National League Wild Card play-in game. That came after slugging a go-ahead three-run home run in the eighth inning on..." September 22
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "The way things have gone for the Milwaukee Brewers, even when they win a game they have to survive controversy. With the bullpen doing yeoman duty after starter Matt Garza was ejected in the fifth inning for hitting Pittsburgh star Andrew McCutchen a second time with a pitch, the Brewers..." September 22
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Russell Martin propped himself up on the dugout railing, helmet held aloft as the sellout crowd of 37,974 at PNC Park roared. Gone were the concerns of the previous seven innings — a looming defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers, the team in immediate pursuit of the Pirates; a good start from Jeff..." September 20
Bucs Dugout "The Pirates announced that Charlie Morton experienced "increased discomfort" in the latter innings of his last start and again during his bullpen session. He is scheduled to have a follow up exam next week and then a decision will be made how to proceed." September 19
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Excitement over the Pirates' 81st victory of the season? That is so 2013. Last year, there was a lot of buzz when the Pirates got win No. 81 and secured their first nonlosing season since 1992. On Wednesday, there was barely a ripple when the Pirates reached that mark again by drubbing the..." September 18
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "After spending the past month on the disabled list with a sports hernia that's still giving him trouble, Charlie Morton tossed five scoreless innings Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. Could the Pirates right-hander have expected any more? "Yeah," Morton said. "I could've thrown nine..." September 17
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Shoddy defense cost the Pirates two runs Sunday and created the stunning possibility of a second straight loss against the woeful Chicago Cubs. So it was at once absurd and sublime that the game turned on a triple play. "You could feel the momentum change," said third baseman Josh Harrison,..." September 15
Morton will start for #pirates on Tuesday, v #redsox; Worley re-routed to bullpen. #MLB
Chicago Tribune "Javier Baez and Matt Szczur homered and Felix Doubront pitched six shutout innings as the Cubs snapped a seven-game losing streak. Doubront allowed four hits over his six innings, reducing his earned-run average to 1.50 in three starts for Cubs. Baez homered for the second straight game,..." September 14
Starling Marte will not be in the starting lineup again for the Pirates. He's available as a pinch runner. No timetable for his return
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The Pirates opened their final homestand of regular season Friday night, beating the Chicago Cubs, 7-3, at PNC Park as a distinct September chill filled the air. They punched out runs in six different innings and held back the Cubs as Gerrit Cole earned his ninth win this season. Cole..." September 13
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Frankie wants the ball. The Pirates might soon have to decide who to start in the opening game of their postseason. Francisco Liriano is looking like a strong candidate for that assignment for the second year in a row. Liriano's strong second half continued Thursday in the Pirates' 4-1 win..." September 12
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Andrew McCutchen is having fun. The Pirates are playing meaningful baseball in September for a second straight season, the face of the franchise is having another excellent campaign and McCutchen accomplished a career first at a critical time Wednesday night in a 6-3 victory over the..." September 11
Announcement on Alvarez is merely a diagnosis: stress reaction in the 4th metatarsal in his left foot.Typical recovery time is 4-6 weeks
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The Pirates have not closed the door on Charlie Morton pitching out of the bullpen at some point this season, although manager Clint Hurdle indicated it might make more sense to keep him as a reserve option for the starting rotation. Morton (sports hernia) threw a five-inning, 86-pitch..." September 10
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Jeff Locke's problems were clearly seen in color entering Monday. In the color-coded, pitch-location charts available to the Pirates staff, it was apparent Locke had missed the strike zone much more often in the second half of the season. The strike zone contains more shades of blue than red..." September 09
Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Everyone figured Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole was going to hit a home run sooner or later. "I've been waiting on it," manager Clint Hurdle said. "It was inevitable," agreed second baseman Neil Walker. On a breezy Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field, the Pirates banged out 19 hits, including..." September 08
I've heard Pedro Alvarez will not go with #Pirates to Philadelphia. He instead will go see foot specialist re: recent injury.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The Pirates won the conclusion of Friday's game, 5-3, in 11 innings against the Chicago Cubs when it resumed today after rain forced its suspension Friday afternoon. The game, which began in the seventh inning with the score tied at 3-3, went into the 11th inning. Neil Walker doubled with one..." September 07
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Winning two games in one day required eight scoreless innings from the bullpen, another strong start from Francisco Liriano and an appearance from their fourth-string shortstop. On Saturday, the Pirates complied, ending their losing streak and winning a series in a span of six hours. After..." September 07
Harrison will leave the game. Chase d'Arnaud, who has played mostly outfield this season, will take over at short.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The first storm zipped past Wrigley Field, its southern edge barely nicking the ballpark before moving out over Lake Michigan. The second one lingered longer, and, with a third on the way, the umpires had seen enough. The Pirates' series opener against the Chicago Cubs Friday was suspended in..." September 06
St. Louis Post-Dispatch "It was a game that was contested, and passionately spectated, like a playoff game, except that it was a month ahead of its time. On one side Wednesday at Busch Stadium were the Cardinals, trying to stretch their winning streak to a season-high-tying five games and put as much distance between..." September 04
Now that Indy season is over, #Pirates set to recall OF Gregory Polanco, who went 4-26 with .412 OPS in seven games after demotion.

Topics: Health Costs, Insurance, Marketplace, Medicare, Politics, Health Reform, States
Mar 31, 2010
Is Mandate Constitutional? USA Today If the individual health insurance mandate survives court challenges, states rights will have withered before our eyes (Jonathan Turley, 3/31). Don't Let The AG Derail Health Reform That Benefits Everyone The Seattle Times The Greater Seattle Business Association has championed health-care reform on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) and business communities for the past several years. Health-care reform is especially critical for the LGBT community. As a community, we considerably benefit from eliminating lifetime maximums and pre-existing conditions (Mona Smith, 3/30). Now The Real Health Care Fight Begins Politico While outright repeal of health care reform — as many conservatives demand — seems unlikely, there is no guarantee this reform will stick. Future Congresses could erode or undercut the law. For there is a long history of major social legislation coming under attack post-enactment (Eric M. Patashnik and Julian E. Zelizer, 3/30). Where The US Went Wrong On Abortion CBS News It's time to take a step back, a look around, and a deep breath -- and to start really talking about the importance of access to abortion to women's health and equality. Let's catch up with this global conversation, so that we can join this growing understanding of the importance of these rights -- both on paper and in practice -- for the lives and dignity of women and families (Nancy Northup, 3/31).
How Reform Benefits Medicare The Sarasota Herald Tribune Important benefits such as the Medicare drug savings and improved access to primary care must be weighed against the uncertainties of reform. Ultimately, political differences may be too deep-seated to resolve. But it's in everyone's best interest to try (3/31). NY's Real Godzilla: Killer Health-Care Subsidies New York Post A new ad by hospitals makes an old argument -- that proposed cuts in state health-care subsidies are a monster, a "Cutzilla" that would devastate New York's health system, forcing facilities to shut down and leaving citizens vulnerable. Only big new taxes can save New Yorkers from this ruin, the advocates argue. Although Cutzilla may be more creative, it's part of a long tradition of "the sky is falling" claims from health-care special interests dating back to the '70s (Steven Malanga, 3/31). Obama's Health Beast Squashes State Experiments Bloomberg BusinessWeek States can be laboratories where the country experiments to ascertain which mix of taxes, incentives and public administration works best when it comes to health care. Obamacare threatens such experiments by superseding them. In doing so, the new federal program deprives the country not only of the experiments themselves but also of evidence that might cast doubt on the promises of the new legislation (Amity Shlaes, 3/30).

Cut down day. Not anyone's favorite day in the NFL. For the Arizona Cardinals, that was no exception today as the Cardinals announced most of their cuts. Coach Ken Whisenhunt had a press conference this afternoon to announce the team has until 1pm tomorrow to cut the final guys to get their roster to 53 players.
The moves made today include the trade of Reggie Wells to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2011 draft pick. Wells would have not been a fit for a backup role here in Arizona given his salary.
The other cuts include:
LB Steve Baggs
TE Anthony Becht
LB Monty Beisel
LB Cody Brown
DE Jeremy Clark
DE John Fletcher
CB Trevor Ford
WR Ed Gant
G/T Herman Johnson
WR Mike Jones
WR Onrea Jones

2012 was a great year for The Web Showroom. Outlined below is a highlight of a few key events throughout the year:
On the web side of the business we launched over 300 new website projects. We worked on a range of projects for well-known clients like The Salvation Army, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and NAB (NAB Agribusiness Awards) along with a diverse and ambitious range of SME's.
Our Online Marketing team continued to work on projects for clients all across Australia. Once again we worked on projects for large clients such as ASX Listed Nick Scali Furniture and Money 3, along with dozens of smaller businesses.
It was fantastic to see a string of striking designs fighting it out every month for our internal 'Site of the Month' competition. Equally, it was wonderful to hear about Online Marketing clients generating insane returns from Google marketing campaigns.
Our e-commerce clients continued to see huge increases in sales. Sales processed through our e-commerce platform increased by over 48% compared to 2011. Across the 500+ e-commerce stores that we support, we noticed an increasing trend towards mobile e-commerce. When we ran an audit of all transactions processed in 2012 we found that 17% of e-commerce sales via our platform came from customers on a mobile device.
We rolled out a range of new technologies, integrations and products throughout the year. These included:
We have also agreed on our 2013 roadmap with ideas like personalisation, multivariate testing ready, CSV remapping and remarketing plug-ins.
It was great to see our hard work pay dividends in 2012. We were very pleased to win the following awards:
|Deloitte Asia Pacific Technology Fast 500
Deloitte Technology Fast 50
2012 BRW Fast Starters
Australian Web Awards 2012 Finalist
We continued to participate in a range of important industry associations. Throughout the year we were members of The Australian Web Industry Association (AWIA), The Australian Interactive Media Industry Association (AIMIA) and the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
In mid-2012 we were fortunate that our neighbours upstairs moved out! Not that we didn't like them, but that it meant we could stay in our current location and take more space. After a fierce game of scissors, paper, rock, the Design Team won out and took upstairs. We were able to take the top-level and in effect double our office space. Special mention must go to our 'Design Committee' that oversaw the interior design of our new space. The office is looking great!
The 2012 Christmas Party was the best one yet. Channelling our inner-Gangster we had a Boardwalk Empire inspired prohibition-era party. Complete with gambling tables, prohibition style drinks and fantastic costumes.
We completely overhauled the look & feel of our CMS in late 2012. Angela put together a superb new design which was then skinned by the Development team and posted live. The new look & feel looks fantastic and has taken the CMS to a new level.
We had been stuck in the stone-age for too long with our website. In a classic case of the plumber having a leaking tap our website had not been overhauled for almost 3 years… Following a design competition where each member of our Design Team offered a design we moved forward with one concept. A few months later we crossed our fingers and launched our new website. Results so far have been positive!

My mother returned from visiting family in Kentucky with this beauty. My Great-Great-Grandmother sewed this. If she sewed it as she lay dying this is 77 years old. 77. Nearly a century old and still beautiful. Suffers from some wear and has a hole in the middle from being folded for too long but gorgeous. We hope to get it to an appraiser within the year to get a better idea of age and material.
gorgeous quilt! My dad has a crazy quilt that my great grandmother made - I'm dying to get my hands on it.
A star of David quilt?! I must make one!

We're stuck with it.
At a packed Cato Institute briefing on Capitol Hill yesterday, Jonathan Adler and I debated ObamaCare expert Timothy Jost over an admittedly wonky issue that nevertheless could determine the fate of ObamaCare: whether Congress authorized the IRS to subsidize health insurers, and to tax employers and certain individuals, in states that refuse to establish one of ObamaCare's health insurance "exchanges."
I want you, dear Cato@Liberty readers, to help us get to the bottom of it.
Adler and I claim that Congress specifically, repeatedly, and unambiguously precluded the IRS from imposing those taxes or issuing those subsidies through federal "fallback"...

Harang wins home opener for hometown Padres, 3-1
SAN DIEGO Aaron Harang couldn't have asked for a better debut with his hometown San Diego Padres.
Harang threw six strong innings while getting out of a few jams, and the Padres won their home opener 3-1 Tuesday against the skidding San Francisco Giants.
The big right-hander said he felt like he did before struggling through the last three seasons with various injuries while with Cincinnati. Plus, the performance came in front of several family members and friends.
"Knowing that they were here and rooting me on, I'm sure they were pretty excited, too, because this is how I threw before," Harang said. "Hopefully I can keep this rolling."
The defending World Series champion Giants, who eliminated the Padres from playoff contention on the last day of the 2010 season, have lost four of five.
Nick Hundley had three hits for the Padres, who returned home after taking two of three in St. Louis.
Harang (1-0) held the Giants to one run on six hits, struck out six and walked two. He joined the Padres as a free agent in the offseason after spending 7 1/2 seasons with Cincinnati, where he made five straight opening day starts. Heath Bell pitched a perfect ninth for his second save in as many chances.
The Giants got a quick run when Andres Torres opened the game with a single, stole second and scored on Aubrey Huff's grounder for the second out.
Harang got in trouble in the third when he loaded the bases on Miguel Tejada's leadoff double, a single by starter Madison Bumgarner and Huff's two-out walk. He got out of it when Buster Posey hit a one-hopper back to the mound.
Harang threw a fastball down and away to Posey. "It was a good pitch for him to hit into the ground and he just happened to hit it right back to me," Harang said.
"He made the best pitches of the day when he was in trouble. That says a lot about his makeup and his character," said Hundley, the catcher.
"Buster was frustrated there," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "One pitch could have been a run. But we have to do a better job of keeping the line moving. Right now we are not getting a lot of timely hits on this trip. That's what it's going to take to win games."
The Padres surged ahead 3-1 when they batted around in the bottom of the inning. Jorge Cantu hit a sacrifice fly, Chase Headley drew a bases-loaded walk and another run came in on Chris Denorfia's dribbler toward the mound that Bumgarner lost the handle on. It was scored an infield single.
"I threw some good pitches and they put together some good swings," Bumgarner said. "Their hitters did a fantastic job. Give them some credit."
Harang played at Patrick Henry High and then San Diego State. He said one of the highlights Tuesday was when recently retired closer Trevor Hoffman jogged in from the bullpen accompanied by AC/D.C.'s "Hells Bells" and threw out the ceremonial first pitch to brother Glenn, the Padres' third base coach.

|Full name
|Larry Melvyn Evans
|United States
|March 22, 1932
New York, New York
|November 15, 2010
(aged 78)
Reno, Nevada
|Grandmaster (1957)

Larry Melvyn Evans (March 22, 1932 – November 15, 2010) was an American chess grandmaster, author, and journalist. He won or shared the U.S. Chess Championship five times and the U.S. Open Chess Championship four times. He wrote a long-running syndicated chess column and wrote or co-wrote more than twenty books on chess.
Chess career[edit]
Early years[edit]
Evans was born in Manhattan on March 22, 1932, and learned much about the game by playing for ten cents an hour on 42nd Street in New York City,[citation needed] quickly becoming a rising star. At age 14, he tied for 4th–5th place in the Marshall Chess Club championship. The next year he won it outright, becoming the youngest Marshall champion at that time. He also finished equal second in the U.S. Junior Championship, which led to an article in the September 1947 issue of Chess Review. At 16, he played in the 1948 U.S. Chess Championship, his first, tying for eighth place at 11½–7½.[1] Evans tied with Arthur Bisguier for first place in the U.S. Junior Chess Championship of 1949. By age 18, he had won a New York State championship as well as a gold medal in the Dubrovnik 1950 Chess Olympiad. In the latter, his 90% score (eight wins and two draws) on sixth board tied with Rabar of Yugoslavia for the best result of the entire Olympiad.[2]
U.S. champion[edit]
In 1951, he first won the U.S. Championship, ahead of Samuel Reshevsky, who had tied for 3rd–4th in the 1948 World Championship match-tournament.[3] Evans won his second championship the following year by winning a title match against Herman Steiner.[4] He won the national championship three additional times: in 1961–62, 1967–68,[5] and 1980, the last in a tie with Walter Browne and Larry Christiansen.[6][7][8]
FIDE awarded Evans the titles of International Master (1952) and International Grandmaster (1957). In 1956 the U.S. State Department appointed him a "chess ambassador".
Evans performed well in many U.S. events during the 1960s and 1970s, but his trips abroad to international tournaments were infrequent and less successful. He won the U.S. Open Chess Championship in 1951, 1952, 1954 (he tied with Arturo Pomar but won the title on the tie-break) and tied with Walter Browne in 1971. He also won the first Lone Pine tournament in 1971.[9]
Olympiad successes[edit]
He represented the U.S. in eight Chess Olympiads over a period of twenty-six years, winning gold (1950), silver (1958), and bronze (1976) medals for his play, and participating in team gold (1976) and silver (1966) medals.[10][11][12]
Best international results[edit]
His best results on foreign soil included two wins at the Canadian Open Chess Championship, 1956 in Montreal, and 1966 in Kingston, Ontario. He tied for first-second in the 1975 Portimão, Portugal International[13] and for second-third with World Champion Tigran Petrosian, behind Jan Hein Donner, in Venice, 1967.[14] However, his first, and what ultimately proved to be his only, chance in the World Chess Championship cycle ended with a disappointing 14th place (10/23) in the 1964 Amsterdam Interzonal.[15]
Working with Bobby Fischer[edit]
He never entered the world championship cycle again, and concentrated his efforts on assisting his fellow American Bobby Fischer in his quest for the world title. He was Fischer's second for the Candidates matches leading up to the World Chess Championship 1972 against Boris Spassky, though not for the championship match itself, after a disagreement with Fischer.
At his peak in October 1968 he was rated 2631 by the United States Chess Federation.
Chess journalism[edit]
Evans had always been interested in writing as well as playing. By the age of eighteen, he had already published David Bronstein's Best Games of Chess, 1944–1949 and the Vienna International Tournament, 1922. His book New Ideas in Chess was published in 1958, and was later reprinted. He wrote or co-wrote more than 20 books on chess.[16]
He wrote the tenth edition of the important openings treatise Modern Chess Openings (1965), co-authored with editor Walter Korn. He also made a significant contribution to Fischer's My 60 Memorable Games (1969), writing the introductions to each of the games and urging the future World Champion to publish when he had initially been reluctant to do so.[17] Some of Evans's other books are Modern Chess Brilliancies (1970), What's The Best Move (1973), and Test Your Chess I.Q. (2001).
Evans began his career in chess journalism during the 1960s, helping to found the American Chess Quarterly, which ran from 1961–65. He was an editor of Chess Digest during the 1960s and 1970s. For over thirty years, until 2006, he wrote a question-and-answer column for Chess Life, the official publication of the United States Chess Federation (USCF), and has also written for Chess Life Online. His weekly chess column, Evans on Chess, has appeared in more than fifty separate newspapers throughout the United States. He also wrote a column for the World Chess Network.
Evans also commentated on some of the most important matches for Time magazine and ABC's Wide World of Sports, including the 1972 Fischer versus Spassky match, the 1993 PCA world title battle between Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short and the Braingames world chess championship match between Vladimir Kramnik and Kasparov in 2000.
Evans also contributed a large amount of tutorial and other content to the Chessmaster computer game series, most notably an endgame quiz and annotations of classic chess games. His contributions to chess writing and journalism earned him many awards, including the USCF's Chess Journalist of the Year award in 2000.[citation needed] He was inducted into the U.S. Chess Hall of Fame in 1994.
Criticism of writings[edit]
Larry Evans was a prolific and popular author, and had a lengthy career. Criticism of his writings can be found in the reviews of his books and also in articles in which he was the subject. He was considered a "rarity"[18] in that he was not only the U.S. champion five times, but also that he "wrote widely" on the game, and his contribution to the tenth edition of Modern Chess Openings[19] is credited for helping the book known as the "chess player's bible."[18][20]
Book critic, Stephen B. Dowd, reviewing the tournament book Vienna 1922 by Evans, remarked that it was his "unabashed honesty that endeared Evans to his fans," and that "Evans always gave straight-shooting answers in those days, never coddling his readers and always instructing them."[21]
Book reviewers note Evans's significant contributions to Bobby Fischer's book, My 60 Memorable Games, including the introductions to all of the games.[22] This book is considered by some to be one of the most important chess books in history.[23] Former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov, writing as a book critic in the New York Review of Books, noted that My 60 Memorable Games was one of his "earliest and most treasured chess possessions."[24]
Criticism of his journalistic writings can be found when selections of his columns are gathered together, and published in book form. One reviewer, author and International Master Anthony Saidy, noted that Evans brought to his journalism a "taste for intriguing chess", his personal experience at "the summit of US chess", and "sharp opinions" regarding the politics of chess, which contributed to his "spicy, concise columns"[25]
Author and USCF National Master, Bruce Pandolfini, described Larry Evans's New Ideas in Chess as influential and a "first-rate chess book."[26]
A journalist could not write for nearly forty years [18] without acquiring some antagonists.[27] One example was fellow chess journalist, Edward Winter. Winter scoured Evans writings, and wrote excoriatingly regarding any error he found.[28] Evans responded to Winter by pointing out that Winter's complaints included decades-old misspellings, or in some cases errors that had already been corrected, and also mistakes that were made in a reader's question, then attributed to Evans.[29] Also, as IM John Watson points out, Winter is loyal to his "villains", and is "very selective in what he reports about them."[30]
In the year 2000, Winter posted a story asserting that Grandmaster and fellow chess journalist, and three-time United States Chess Champion IGM Yasser Seirawan, published on his "Inside Chess" website a strongly-worded open letter to the FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov. The purpose of this letter, Seirawan wrote, was "to register my despair and disgust over the current plight of FIDE", and also to call upon the "full present FIDE leadership – and you first and foremost as President – resign your posts."[31] According to Winter, Seirawan reviewed the responses to his letter, including that of the "long time rabid critic of FIDE, GM Evans", and asserted that Evans had misrepresented his letter, Seirawan referring to a particular comment said: "Experienced Evans-watchers know that it is the kind of untruth and distortion that is endemic in him."
Former editor of "Chess Life", Larry Parr, responding to Winter, counters many of the claims and counter-claims and also describes the underlying politics that may be fueling the heated exchange between the two journalistic combatants.[32]
On November 15, 2010, Evans died in Reno, Nevada, from complications following gallbladder surgery.[33][34][35]

She looks tired and we miss her fresh and polished look from the red carpet. She needs her eye liner and red lipstick really bad too.
Celebrities without makeup
Why the hell would she wear mascara and red lipstick? It looks like she's going for a run or just going for a walk. Not everyone feels the need to wear makeup 24/7.

Steve Stockman (R-TX), Paul Broun (R-GA), and 43 others have sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) urging him to oppose the gun control currently being discussed in the Senate on grounds that a "'universal background check' system would be a violation of Constitutionally-protected rights on an unprecedented scale." The letter states: The principle that no person can purchase or sell a firearm without first receiving government permission transforms the Second Amendment from a "right" that should be protected by the government into a privilege granted by the government. In addition to constitutional concerns, even if every private transfer of firearms were regulated by the federal government, it would not be an effective crime fighting tool. Typically, criminal shooters steal firearms (Adam Lanza), pass a background check (James Holmes and Jared Loughner) or receive their firearms through straw purchasers (which is already illegal). The letter includes a list of gun rights groups who join the representatives in opposing gun legislation currently being discussed in the Senate: the Gun Owners of America, the NRA, the National Association for Gun Rights, and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, among others. The letter close with the forty-five representatives asking "that no gun control legislation be brought to the floor of the House unless it has the support of a majority of [their] caucus."

Finishing 7-9 after a disastrous start is commendable, but it doesn't change the fact that the New York Giants need to make significant changes during the offseason. A must for the team is a good, preferably great, 2014 NFL Draft class. What was the case back in November remains true for Big Blue: They could eye one of about four different positions when utilizing their first round pick and be right.
2014 New York Giants NFL mock drafts (January 2): Walter Football
Pick: DE/LB Khalil Mack, Buffalo: Mack's ability to rush the passer and to force turnovers has had him linked with the Giants in mock drafts since early last fall. The front line of the New York defense was, in 2013, a shell of those former great units that helped the team win two Super Bowls in under five years. Some are wondering if Jason Pierre-Paul has already had his best days pass him by, and Justin Tuck may not even be with the Giants next fall.
Defense wins championships. The Giants know that as well as does any other team in the NFL. Mack is the type of player who has, in the past, caught the eye of New York general manager Jerry Reese. If he is still available, don't be shocked if Mack is holding up a Giants jersey on draft day.
2014 New York Giants NFL mock drafts (January 2): Matt Miller
Pick: LB Anthony Barr, UCLA: The NFL Draft expert over at Bleacher Report sees the Giants benefiting from what he envisions will be an early run of quarterbacks taken in the top ten. Multiple mock drafts I've seen in the past couple of months had Barr going early, however, so he may not even be an option when New York is called to the podium.
Barr is, on paper, a safer and more dynamic pick than is Mack. He is deceptively quick at 6-4 and 248 pounds. Former NFL linebacker and current UCLA linebackers coach Jeff Ulbrich recently referred to the Barr as being a future "perennial All-Pro." He would be a perfect fit into the current defense of the Giants.
2014 New York Giants NFL mock drafts (January 2): Todd Salem
Pick: CB Darqueze Dennard, Michigan State: The Giants thinking secondary with the 12th overall pick is very realistic. New York is already lacking depth at defensive back, and that's said without considering that both Corey Webster and Terrell Thomas could leave the club this winter.
NFLDraftScout.com has Dennard as the number one player at his position in the upcoming draft. If, as some have predicted, up to five quarterbacks are selected before the Giants pick, the 2013 Jim Thorpe Award winner could fall to New York. I'm not sure that the Giants would be able to pass on him.
2014 New York Giants NFL mock drafts (January 2): Rob Rang
Pick: OT Cedric Ogbuehi, Texas A&M: The Giants need to essentially blow up most of the team's offensive line start from scratch. That doesn't mean that I endorse this pick. Ogbuehi is, as explained by Rang, believed by some to have more of an upside when it comes to the NFL than does teammate Jake Matthews, who could, according to Rang, go as high as fourth overall.
I don't see it, as least I don't yet.
Rang is thus far the only person that I have seen predict that Ogbuehi will be taken with such a high pick. Most of the mock drafts I've read have the OT going in the mid to late 20s. Unless Ogbuehi puts up monster numbers at the combine, this could be a reach for the Giants at 12.
2014 New York Giants NFL mock drafts (January 2): Dane Brugler
Pick: TE Eric Ebron, North Carolina: New York could use the upgrade at the tight end position. Assuming that Brugler is accurate with his predictions for picks 1-11, though, the Giants taking Ebron is, right now today, puzzling. Such a hypothetical world would involve the Giants passing on OT Greg Robinson from Auburn, DT Louis Nix out of Notre Dame and Oregon CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu.
Going TE with pick No. 12 is not in the DNA of the New York front office. Several guys would have to be off the board in order for the team to even consider Ebron here.

Sony Mobile introduces Be Moved strapline
Sony Mobile has introduced a new strapline, 'Be Moved', as it seeks to align its marketing into the group's overall communications strategy.
The mobile division of Sony launched its Xperia range in March with the strapline, 'Made of Imagination', in a high-profile ad campaign directed by Wes Anderson, The strapline was phased out in later activity.
A Sony Mobile spokeswoman said the new 'Be Moved' line will be used as a "long-term campaign platform" to better fit with the company's wider 'One Sony' strategy, which is centred around three core pillars of mobile, gaming and digital imaging.
The spokeswoman said: "'Made of Imagination' was always at the heart of Sony Mobile DNA. As we move into 2013 and become fully integrated into Sony we are also aligning into Sony's overall communications strategy.
"Our new strapline is 'Be Moved' as we feel that this is the consumer articulation of our guiding principle – that Sony is making technology that is engineered to feel."
Sony Mobile launched the "be moved" TV ad this week to push the flagship Xperia Z phone. The campaign, by McCann London, celebrates Sony's "proud heritage of innovation and how the brand continues to touch the lives of people around the world".
Creative includes footage form the Holi festival in India and features the Xperia Z alongside Sony products from the past, including the first PlayStation and the Walkman.
Earlier this month Steve Walker, Sony Mobile's chief marketing officer, announced his departure, claiming it was part of plans to restructure the brand in line with its 'One Sony' global operating model.
Walker, who joined Ericsson in the 1990s, assumed the top global marketing role in March 2011, replacing Lennard Hoornick.
Last year, he led the rebrand of the company from Sony Ericsson to Sony Mobile, and the launch of its "Made of imagination" brand positioning last year.

25 Music Demo Suggestions from Jack Joseph Puig
"My playlist is big on variety and it includes a number of popular recordings," he says. "Some of the recordings are compressed, some are not; some were made with old gear and some were with new gear. This list represents new and old technologies, as well as older and newer recording eras."
Puig says an audio system should faithfully reproduce the artists' intent of what the music should sound like. "Audiophile to me means a system that is incredible to listen to with music," he explains. "It's not about high fidelity or low fidelity … it's about fidelity period. It's all about producing the feeling the artists intended, and that to me is Hi-Fi."

Hello everyone!
I read this article today online and I wanted to share it here as I think it contains some great information and tips for any woman who feels nervous or anxious during her annual exam:
I like the idea of bringing a close friend with you if you are both comfortable with it and also to ask questions ahead of time about what to expect. That would really help women feel more in control of the whole process. Are there any other tips that you would add to this list? Michelle
I didn't know the medical community was beginning to question the use of pelvic exams. I've hated going ever since my mother took me to the gynecologist when I was 12 because I thought I had an infection. I was totally unprepared for the pelvic exam and when I cried, the assisting said, cheerily, "well if you don't like that you probably wouldn't like sex too much!" And this wasn't back in the 50s or something -- it was only about 15 years ago. Looking back on it I still feel angry that she said that too me. It was insensitive, judgmental, and unprofessional.February 19, 2013 - 4:04pm
It is important to ask the medical school for the list of possible and probable risks for these procedures (this list must be provided, by law). Have you received this documentation?May 11, 2012 - 4:21am
Also, women who've had complete hysterectomies for benign conditions should be excluded from testing. One other group often overlooked – women in lifetime mutually monogamous relationships are most unlikely to benefit from testing – their risk of cc is near zero.May 11, 2012 - 4:12am
Do nuns need pelvic exams after 70?March 14, 2012 - 4:53am
I am so tired of these exams! I told my OB/GYN years ago, about the 3 year recommendation and she finally agreed 3 years ago to have me wait for the pap smear. However, I was still expected to have the Pelvic exam annually. I brought up nuns and mennonites and ammish women probably not getting these and she told me nuns do get them. However, were the nuns in a monogamous marriage for over 25 years before their exam? I have had to have these since 19 years (US Navy) and a virgin. I don't feel better about these but worse, particularly when I know it's mainly for an STD. Every pap smear came back clean. I only want the pills for hormones because I am 49 years old. I am seriously thinking about cancelling my appointment in 2 days. Thanks for letting me sound off. KerryJune 6, 2011 - 12:50pm
Hi Kerry
I totally understand your frustrations. I only get a pap test every 3-4 years myself. With a clean history, there is no need for annual testing but American doctors overdo so much unnecessary testing, it's crazy!
However, I think it's a standard procedure for most doctors but I certainly don't think it's mandatory! If you have had a fairly recent test (2-3 years) and have a clean history, tell your doctor how you feel and be assertive about it!
Good luck - let us know how it goes, I'd be interested to hear the doctor's response, as I do not believe it's an insurance issue. While doctors have our best interests in mind, over-testing is a problem these days.
I have panic attacks before a pelvic exam. As in, heart racing, high blood pressure, nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, want to die panic. The exam is incredibly quick, but it is so humiliating... so degrading... so undignified... so immodest... I cry for two days afterward.
My exams wouldn't be so bad after I establish rapport with a provider. But then, right when it's time for my legs to go in the stirrups, they have a strange nurse come in to "help" (i.e., chaperon) and she stand down by my feet, looking at my most intimate parts, just for the sake of looking. HUMILIATING AND DEGRADING!
If it weren't for pelvic exams, I would have many more babies. The anxiety from pelvic exams and all the humiliating, degrading things they make you go through during pregnancy is enough to make me not want to get pregnant again, even though I want more children.
I actually voiced my fear the last time I went in. The provider laughed it off (in a nice way?), but did nothing to help my fears.
I don't know what to do.May 6, 2011 - 6:52am
Hi Anon
Thanks for your post! I'm sorry you have such anxiety and please remember that you have the right to refuse many or all exams!
I only get a pelvic exam every 3-4 years; there is no need to when there is no history of disease or infection (or at least no history for 5+ years according to most health professionals and educated women). Pelvic exams can be life-savers but they are overdone in America and a person with no adverse history doesn't need an annual pap test.
And I'm sorry your provider laughed off your fears. I think one of the main problems is that doctors do these exams all day, every day and become completely numb to the fact that each exam is for an individual with unique needs. It ends up being a kind of assembly line of female crotches. What they need to remember is that each time is important to the individual.
Are you still thinking about having another child?
There have been some very honest articles in your papers recently..."Is the routine pelvic exam obsolete?" also, "Questioning the value of the routine pelvic exam" in the WSJ and comments by Dr Carolyn Westhoff. These comments not only confirm the exam is unnecessary in symptom-free women, but they risk your health - American women have high numbers for hysterectomies and surgery removing healthy ovaries. (much higher than countries that don't recommend this exam like the UK and Australia)
Also, comments made by Dr Robert Hatcher from the Managing Contraception site confirming this exam and cancer screening is not required for birth control. Search his name plus pelvic exam and birth control and it should appear. The only thing clinically required for the safe use of the Pill is your medical history and your blood pressure.
Hopefully, the coercion will soon be a thing of the past - avoid doctors who still try to coerce you into unnecessary and harmful exams and optional cancer screening - once they see patients walking away and lost revenue, they'll soon embrace evidence based medicine. Protect your healthy body from harm - symptom-free women do not need this sort of medical scrutiny and surveillance and the coercion/control/power thing is disgraceful.
I think this article is very arrogant to tell all women how to reduce pelvic exam anxiety. When a brainwashed mother drags her 18 year old daughter to the gyneocologist, everyone around her seems to know what is best for her! She is eventually lured into the stirrups for unnecessary humiliation and violation of her womanhood. Her body "clamps up" because it has its own intelligence. It is screaming "No!" But she must stare at the stupid posters on the ceiling designed by doctors to distract women from the fact that they are being gently raped. I do believe unnecessary penetration by sexual organs is rape. Women are not as consented as they believe because of all the scare tactics and fear mongering these "caring" gynecologists and "caring" people like the misogynist who wrote this article dish out. Period.
This exam is barbaric, outdated, and so unnecessary. Most of the rest of the developed world is laughing at you American women. Women in Europe and especially Asia: Paying doctors to finger their pussies is the exception rather than the norm. The CDC recently announced its conviction that even the beloved pap smear has done so much more harm than good. The ACOG finally admitted that its recommendation that 18-year-olds be screened for cervical cancer will no longer be the standard. Please educate yourself and read about that! (Young women needing psychiatric help before and AFTER exams because of the emotional toll these clinical rape rituals take on them. Women needing to drop out of college because they were told they "might" have cancer, when that ALMOST ALWAYS >>>>99% was not the case. All of this trauma to save about ONE woman under age 21 all these years according to the reports!)
There is a reason intelligent women who respect their bodies do not want to be violated this way. Stop defending the medical community and your own insecurities that you KNOW you have lost control over your pussy by handing it over every year to "caring" doctors and encouraging other women to do the same. We can make our own decisions and not be treated like children when you give us unwanted and unhelpful tips to reduce white-coat rape anxiety.March 12, 2011 - 10:28pm

Nmap Development
mailing list archives
I am using nmap in a phased manner to perform vulnerability testing on large networks for my clients. I'm currently
utilizing 5 phases as follows:
1 - pings
2 - No pings & 9 most common ports
3 - No pings and 48 next most common ports
4 - Remainder of nmap default port list and no pings
5 - Remainder of all 65535 ports
I run phase 4 & 5 with -T Aggressive and -sS to ease the impact on my customers' servers and still get the work done
in a reasonable time.
I also use a list of IP's as input with the -iL so I can parse the output and determine what had found ports vs not
as I roll through.
Since the port list for 4 & 5 is fairly disjointed (e.g 1-5,7-9,11,13,etc), it takes up a lot of space on the command
It seems that phase 5 takes a considerable amount of memory if I don't use the max_hostgroup and -sT to throttle
1. How is a large list of discontinuous ports handled by nmap vs a singe continuous list (1-1024)? Could the first
condition cause a larger memory requirement?
2. Is there a difference in memory requirements if I use a list of IP's, one per line, vs a specific sequence
3. Could the large list of ports require more memory as I work my way through a relatively long list of IP's?
Thanks and keep up the great work!

Perfect moment in time captured? I think so.
The definition of fucked up. Why exactly do governments exist? I thought it was to take care of people. I thought that was their sole purpose. Instead they make wars and cause inequality and suffering and impose their laws on everyone. This is the reason that I find anarchy more and more appealing. The system is broken, and while there are times when it's been better, I don't think it ever really worked.

Cats love it!
posted 5 years ago
We have this fountain at our veterinary hospital for our 2 clinic cats. They both love have running water always on hand. It does gurgle when the water level is getting low so it reminds us to fill it. Much better than turning on the faucet.
Pros: Easy to refill, quiet.
Cons: A little hard to clean.

really amazing album. cant wait to hear the rest of their music
this is basia bulat
if you don't know who she is please give her 5 minutes of your time
if you do know who she is, well i just discovered through a live performance last week and i am sure that anyone who has done so has been left jaw dropped and breathless like i was
she played 5 instruments that night as an opening act
many of which looked like something you'd find in your grandmother's attic
and not counting her feet which she used as drums
or her voice
which is one of the most beautiful instruments i've ever heard.
last but not least, she's a canadian treasure :)
yes yes

Jonathas de Andrade
The Museum of the Northeastern Man, founded in 1979 by anthropologist Gilberto Freyre, is an institution located in the northern Brazilian city of Recife. Freyre identified the origins of the country's cultural miscegenation in its indigenous peoples' encounters with European colonizers and imported African slaves. For his work, Jonathas de Andrade sought local men to pose for (fake) posters advertising the museum. Photographing participants in everyday situations, the artist produced images that resemble research documents. In doing so, he compares Freyre's institution with the present-day reality of the Northeast. Evoking the sexism present in the museum's name, he reminds us of the biases of its period of origin, and examines the role that an anthropological approach might play in not only representing and understanding but also actively constructing cultural, personal, and sexual identities.

1: yes, Walmart is going to give up selling a game that people have been waiting for for 12 fucking years for in order to appease a room full of feminisits
2: Duke Nukem has always existed to poke fun of the 70's/80's action hero's who piss testosterone and carry guns as cock extensions so if you take anything they do in a Duke Nukem game seriously you're giving it more credit than everyone who plays, designs, markets, or thinks about the games without their heads up their asses.
3: it's Rated M so before you bitch at walmart or gearbox or the Xbox, or video games in general remember that the hated kiddies only have that game because their parents bought it for them, so don't try to get in my way, bitch at the parents you stupid berks
and yes Gearbox is courting controversy, but that's what duke is good for, you can't make a good Duke Nukem game without having controversy
Now before you start writing me off as a Knuckle dragging misogynist I want to add this, just for clarificationg.
I don't personally expect duke Nukem to be a particularly good game, it's to campy for my tastes. So at least to me I'm not defending Duke Nukem, I'm defending video games in general, it seems like whenever anyone sees something they disagree with in video games they decide to take legal action so I applaud you in taking such a clear thinking non-drastic option. however at the same time I realize that if you want something better to come out of video games you have to allow the art form to set out and try to grow without snapping at it whenever it tries to stretch its legs
also, just saying if you disagree with me I'd be happy to hear your reasoning, my Email address is real and if you feel you can prove your point that duke Nukem is bad I'll be more than happy to listen. I'm always looking for a worth-while debate anyway.

I don't like looking people in the eyes while I walk around town because they might challenge me to a Pokemon battle and I just don't have time for that.
