Knicks VP Donnie Walsh has been around the game long enough to know about the Kiki Exchange, a lopsided trade in which a team trades multiple players for a volume scorer.
If you're not aware who Kiki Vandeweghe was before becoming the New Jersey Nets' bumbling coach, he was a one-dimensional basketball player who understood one language. Even though he was bilingual, in basketball, he only knew one word.
God bless his German soul, but he was good at it. Some would even argue that he was great at it. In his career, he averaged more than 20 points eight times, with a career high 30.2 points a game for the Denver Nuggets.
That was his last season with Denver. The Nuggets, up until then a floundering franchise post ABA, cashed in on the small forward with one deadly move, the jab step, fadeaway jumper.
Like the Nuggets of today, they needed to rebuild a franchise — and instead of starting from zilch, bartered away their most precious commodity, whose high scoring averages somehow masked the fact that he couldn't play defense, was an awful rebounder and didn't care much about anything else but scoring.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it.
The Nuggets were afterthoughts. They were a high scoring team with Vandeweghe and Alex English hogging ball time, combining for 56 points a game. But to make a serious run at the playoffs, they thought, hey why not trade one of our buncha scorer for five guys who will at least make up for the 30 points we lose a night, and then add some rebounding, defense, and all the other little shit that prick never did that will make us a better team?
So they did.
In 1984, the Nuggets sent Vandeweghe packing to Portland for center Wayne Cooper, forward Calvin Natt, point guard Fat Lever, a first round pick that turned into center Blair Rasmussen and a second round pick that became Willie White.
Five guys for one. And Portland thought, wow, that's a fair deal, now isn't it?
Kiki would give Portland four 20 plus points a game seasons, including a Blazers high of 26.2 ppg. Vandweghe was paired with Clyde Drexler, Jim Paxson and intermittently for obvious reasons, Sam Bowie, making Portland a perennial playoff contender. Like George Clooney and the Batman series, Portland and playoffs during the Vandeweghe era was tragically short.
God damnit, they just didn't play defense.
The Nuggets? Well, the five players they got turned out to be the kind of package you put around Alex English.
The biggest prize was the even now underrated Lever, who came dangerously close to having a Big O type season. In his third Nuggets season, Lever scored 18 points a game, dished eight assists and grabbed eight plus rebounds a game.
He'd make his mark as perhaps the best rebounding point guard. In two seasons, he recorded a career high average of 9.3 rebounds, and that's just unheard of even by today's standards. In the 88-89 season, Lever almost averaged triple double again, grabbing 9 rebounds, dishing out 7.9 assists and scoring 19 points a game.
A straight up trade would have been laughably lopsided in favor of the Nuggets.
Natt on the other hand was short for a power forward, but was just as wide as anyone. Think of Dejuan Blair with scoring flair. While he only gave Denver two seasons — knee injuries prematurely ended his career — he averaged a high of 23 points a game in his first season, while grabbing about 7 rebounds. His scoring dipped to 17 and then 10 before vanishing from the face of NBA lore.
Wayne Cooper may have been a bogey center during that era, overshadowed by better ones like Robert Parish, Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing. But he gave the Nuggets five years of seven to eight rebounds a game,back-to-back seasons where he scored in double figures, and about two shot blocks a game.
He would lose his starting job to Rasmussen, a slick scoring seven footer who was at least 18 times better than Jon Koncak and Joe Kleine combined. For a modern perspective, think of Marcin Gortat.
Denver gave up an instant 30 points, but gained it back as Natt, Cooper and Lever combined for about 47 points, 18 rebounds and eight assists in the first season of the deal.
Will the 'Melo trade haunt the Knicks? Can we file this under the Kiki Exchange? Will I rename the Kiki Exchange after Carmelo Anthony?
Hold on.
Anthony is a better scorer, even if his scoring averages match up with the guy who drafted him out of Syracuse and into Denver. Kiki had one move. Anthony has tons. Kiki had a deadly outside jumper. Anthony has an excellent one, plus post up and slashes. When he's motivated, Anthony can rebound. Vandeweghe could have tried and maybe it wouldn't have mattered much.
When Denver made the Kiki Exchange, they got pieces they invested in for the long term. Now, the Nuggets are maybe looking at Timofey Mozgov, who would be lucky to be the next Cooper or Rasmussen, and Danilo Gallinari, another all offense, no defense type whose scoring arsenal is vastly inferior to Carmelo. With the Kroenkes looking to save cash, it's 50-50 on whether they'd match any offer on upcoming restricted free agent Wilson Chandler. With coach George Karl committed to Ty Lawson, it's almost certain that Raymond Felton will play somewhere else once his one year contract expires.
But the Knicks aren't in the clear just yet. They gave up three draft picks, one of which is a first rounder. That's too far into the future to take into account right now, and it's likely that the 2014 first round pick lands somewhere between the low teens to the mid 20s based on future projections for New York's performance.
New York is getting 24 points from Anthony, and he's going to stay within that range for the next three years. Right now, the Nuggets are getting 18 points from Galo, 14 from Chandler and 10 from Felton. That's 42 points lost. While Galo and Chandler danced around those same totals with the Knicks, Felton was averaging as high as 18 with New York.
Take into account that Galo and Chandler are grabbing a combined 10 rebounds, plus Felton's seven assists, and it's clear that, for this season, the Knicks gave up more than it received.
Taking Chauncey Billups into account, the Knicks have equaled the scoring gap. But Felton is still getting more assists as a backup than does Billups as a starter. The difference in rebounding is negligible.
Additionally, Galo's points and rebounding total is a mirage, for now. He's played in all of four games. So adding up the scoring totals for Melo/Billups to the trio of Chandler/Galo/Felton, and the Knicks come out ahead.
But with a short sample size, the Nuggets are much better than the Knicks post Melo. They've gone 9-4, while the Knicks have wobbled through 7-8. While one can argue that it's harder to integrate a superstar with another who demands the ball just as much, that doesn't take into account that the Knicks' mentality fits with Melo's. Or that it's just as hard to integrate four new players taking on almost equally large roles in Denver.
Here's the kicker, though — and this is what could haunt the Knicks.
The Nuggets are a better defensive team. Way better. Staggerigly better. Celtics-like, even.
Without Carmelo Anthony, Karl can now run a defensive scheme, and it shows. Denver is allowing 10 less points per 100 possessions, going from Warriors-like to Celtics-like. That's mind boggling. A team allows 10 less points by subtracting one guy?
The Knicks' defense hasn't really suffered using the per 100 points metric, going up by two points with Anthony. But the Knicks are already a horrible defensive team.
There's a telling Carmelo quote that should scare Knicks fans a bit. Right now, they can chalk up the sordid defense on Mike D'Antoni's preferred style. Change the coach, and the team plays defense, right?
Not necessarily. Melo is so averse to defense that he complained about having to run different defensive systems — while under D'Antoni! It's clear that he's got no interest in the concept much less in applying it.

Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Cincinnati Reds pitchers set a franchise record with 20 strikeouts Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Three of them came against Yasiel Puig, who had the last laugh.
The excitable rookie homered with two outs in the 11th inning, giving the Dodgers a 1-0 victory after left-hander Tony Cingrani held them to one hit over seven innings and tied a career high with 11 strikeouts in his 12th big league start.
Facing a lineup missing leadoff hitter Carl Crawford for the second straight day because of a high temperature, Cingrani retired 18 of the 20 batters he faced and worked in perfect harmony with catcher Devin Mesoraco before getting lifted for a pinch-hitter.
"That was Tony's best game. He was on," manager Dusty Baker said. "He was throwing his fastball up when he wanted to and down when he wanted to, an occasional breaking ball and changeup, and Mesoraco was directing him through a very tough lineup. He did his job, but we had to go get him because we had to try to score some runs."
The only hit against Cingrani was a two-out single through the box in the third inning by Dodgers pitcher Chris Capuano -- his first hit of the season. Mark Ellis followed with a towering drive toward the left-field corner that Chris Heisey caught right in front of the short fence.
Los Angeles didn't get another baserunner against the 24-year-old left-hander until Puig walked on a full count leading off the seventh. But he was picked off first base with Adrian Gonzalez -- the Dodgers' RBI leader -- at the plate.
"Tony has a really good fastball and he goes right after guys and doesn't fall behind in the count," Mesoraco said. "He expands a little bit with his fastball when he gets two strikes. That's his biggest thing. The third time through, they'd seen the fastball a couple of times, so we had to mix it up. And he threw some really good sliders to punch guys out."
Gonzalez, Hanley Ramirez and Tim Federowicz also fanned three times each as the Dodgers established a team high since 1900.
"We had a good game plan. We pitched them tough and did what we set out to do," Mesoraco said. "That lineup is outstanding. They all have power and can hit for average, so it's definitely a challenge. We did the best we could. It wasn't quite good enough today, but we did well."
The same couldn't be said for Cincinnati's vaunted offense, which totaled seven runs in the four-game series. Capuano held the Reds to three hits over 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander retired 15 of his first 16 batters, less than 24 hours after teammate Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched two-hit ball over seven innings and retired his final 13 in a 4-1 victory.
Joey Votto's two-out single in the first was Cincinnati's only hit until Mesoraco snapped a string of 13 straight outs with a leadoff double in the sixth. Mesoraco advanced to third on Cingrani's sacrifice bunt, and Baker put on a suicide squeeze with Derrick Robinson at the plate.
Mesoraco had to return to third after the rookie fouled off an 0-1 pitch, and was retired in a rundown after Robinson grounded to third baseman Juan Uribe with the infield playing in.
"You've got to take a shot right there," Baker said. "I mean, what else are you supposed to do? How many two-out hits did we get today? So you've got to go on contact. We tried to squeeze him in because we realized how tough runs were going to come by."
The Reds wasted another leadoff double in the seventh by Votto.
"When you face a good pitching staff, you're not going to get a bunch of chances. But when you get your chances, you've got to capitalize on them," Baker said. "Our guys are trying the best they can. I mean, everybody's talking about our on-base percentage, but you've got to have some guys drive them in. We were frustrated all day."
Puig drove an 0-1 pitch deep into the left-field pavilion against rookie Curtis Partch (0-1) for his 10th homer and 23rd RBI in 48 big league games.
"It wasn't a terrible pitch," Mesoraco said. "I think, more than anything, it just had a little bit of elevation. In that situation, guys are trying to hit home runs, and Puig was able to get it in the air. As much as he's chased pitches against us this series, I wanted it to be a ball."
Brandon League (6-3) pitched two hitless innings for the win. The NL West-leading Dodgers, who took three of four from the Reds, won for the 26th time in 32 games and extended their lead to 2

In a world where bad words about The Rolling Stones are few and far between, Chris Robinson, better known as the frontman from 90′s buzz band The Black Crowes has spoken out. Speaking with The London Evening Standard, Robinson berated The Rolling Stones recent live performance return as 'like going to Disneyland', and not in a good way.
As he continues, the comparison between the two is explained, "Bands the size and scale of the Stones – they're like Disneyland. I felt like the audience at those shows were rock 'n' roll tourists." He has also expressed a beef with Mick Jaggars showmanshup, adding that he wished "Mick had a little more sincerity and did a little bit less running around". I guess Robinson will be playing it differently at his hugely anticipated return to the live stage…
The Stones are set to be increasing their presence in the live arena, albeit very mildly. Live 4 Ever UK tell of a reported run of 'fewer than 20′ to take place in the USA. The band are mega favourites to perform at Glastonbury, but sadly there are no updates on any sort of Disneyland Down Under.

text: Shouts & Murmurs October 21, 2013 Issue Luau By Jack Handey Table of Contents Credit Jean Jullien One of the worst things I've ever been to has to be the Hawaiian luau I went to last month. Or should I say "so-called" Hawaiian luau? First of all, when I went to the pickup point, where we were supposed to be carried to the beach by native Hawaiian bearers, I was instead beaten on the head and shoved into the trunk of a car. After a long drive, I was finally let out, but when I asked where my lei was I was told to shut up and was knocked to the ground. There were no "hand-woven grass mats" to sit on, and I was never offered a "tall, refreshing pineapple drink." It would have been hard to sip on anyway, because I was tied up. Eventually, I noticed that we were not at the beach but at some sort of tire junk yard. The mountains of old tires were pretty in their way, but I think I would have preferred the beach. There were other disappointments. Instead of the Aloha Brothers playing authentic Hawaiian slide guitar, one guy had a loud boom box that played heavy-metal music. Instead of being offered genuine poi, I was told to shut up and was repeatedly kicked. I have to admit that I was given a hula lesson, but it included only two hand gestures, and afterward I was beaten. My biggest complaint would have to be that the luau was supposed to be free, but then they called my brother and told him to bring "as much money as he could get." What kind of an admission price is that? When my brother showed up, they broke his glasses and set his car on fire. Was this the famous Hawaiian hospitality? You may have wondered, as I did, if the burning car was to be the center of the luau's fire dance. Not unless you call laughing and throwing rocks at it "dancing." When one of the Hawaiians was urinating on the car, he got so close his shirttail caught on fire, and he had to roll around on the ground to put it out. My brother and I applauded, but we were beaten for doing so. We had a nice walk back to the New Jersey Turnpike—there were some interesting birds and rodents along the way—but we were almost run over by the luau people as they zoomed past. Also, my brother was hit in the back with a flying beer can. I guess I should have been suspicious of the flyer for the luau to begin with. It was handwritten and had a crudely drawn hula girl with overly graphic sexual regions. Also, it was tied to a coconut and thrown through my apartment window. Anyway, you're lucky you didn't go. But the good news is, next month I've been invited to a genuine Texas barbecue. ♦ Jack Handey Bio All work & You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

Good morning, Jets fans everywhere. Three rounds are in the books through the NFL draft. Four more rounds are on tap this afternoon beginning at 4:00 PM. Let's talk about how the team did yesterday.
First the Jets took Jace Amaro from Texas Tech with their second round pick in the NFL draft. Amaro is a guy, as we talked last night, is a guy that jumped onto the Jets' radar right around the workout timings. Amaro showd his toughness at his Pro day, throwing despite such a painful shoulder. As Herm Edwards said it best, what do you do? "You play to win the game." You can do that when you have guys that are going to throw in all on the line for you. Amaro will do just that.
Excellent choice by John Idzik and the Jets with the number two choice for the year.
The most interesting choice of the night to me was the selection of Dexter McDougle at number 80.
Don't get me wrong, without Cromartie and Revis anymore, there are great reasons to continue to bring in cornerbacks. Competition will make whomever earns the starting jobs that much better. Why not bring in guys to battle it out all camp long?
It depends upon how today goes. The Jets need to bring in competition at the offensive playmaker positions. To make the moves that have been made so far, a lot of guys have been passed on, such as Brandin Cooks, Marqise Lee, Kelvin Benjamin, and that is not everybody. To say the least, the outside is still a pretty gushing hole on the Jets' offense.
We know that we cannot evaluate a draft at this point. And you can't evaluate days one and two, without knowing how day three is going to go. Today should be interesting, as the Jets have nine picks this afternoon. With most of them "compensatory" picks as well, Idzik cannot trade them, so he must make choices.
Let's see how much offense John brings into the fold tomorrow, before we go too crazy about the picks made over the first two nights of the draft. I have said it before, and I will say it again. Give John Idzik a chance, let his plan get its legs under it before we start ripping it to shreds.

Blake Lively just got 3 more years protection from an obsessed fan, who allegedly claimed he had a "metaphysical" connection with the actress -- because a judge extended Blake's restraining order today.
TMZ broke the story ... Blake obtained a temporary restraining order against Sergei Mifle last month -- claiming the guy made repeated contact with Blake's mom, begging to help Blake because she was troubled.
According to Blake, Sergei was spotted lurking around the set of "Gossip Girl" -- insisting he was there to help Blake "heal."
The judge extended the protective order today in L.A. -- requiring Sergei to stay at least 100 yards away from Blake and her mom for the next three years.
Celebs want people to worship their crap like it's gold to build a culture of Gods worshipped for pretty much no reason other than just being famous, and when people do, celebs freak out. It's most amusing.
"Metaphysical connection"? I'll bet she heard that and said, like Brennan on "Bones," I don't know what that means.
Hi Harvey! YOU are old and ugly, I noticed. So why are you (and your gang of male and female apes) always talking about how OLD such and such woman is and how her time will be up or giving their stupid little opinion about who is hot and who is not. If I were as ugly and old as you then I would be too ashamed to be so judgemental and would be more accepting. BYE!!!
Blake is an American Beauty.
What TMZ troll posts the celebrity pictures on this site? They are usually awful, as this one is of Blake Lively. This troll should be fired for his/her incompetence. But, then, this has been going on so long TMZ must hire people who have an eye for posting cr*ppy pics of celebrities on TMZ.
Nothing really says, "I love you", more than a restraining order - LOL!!!
She is so hot! Too bad most women in this country are fat lazy pigs who don't want to put in the effort or work to look good.
chics like Blake are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, there are plenty of bleached blonde bimbos that look just like her who could take her spot in a ny minute.. such is show business!
She not that known...?????
Go ahead, arrest me, It doesnt matter :) frgin random people are annoyed with this ****, who wouldn't, you money btchz cornering Blake and me, its just a bunch of ****, you fkers r fckd, I'm not gone step down! :)
Celebrities do choose a public life, and if you were talking about a regular person who only approached for an autograph, then they have no right to get angry, even if they are eating because this is a once in a life time for the "everyman". I do not like when they bitch about that. But, I think calling her mother and following them both around, does constitute extreme behavior, therefore she has every right to be concerned, I would be too under those cir***stances.
lol. When she drops dead of cancer, a car accident, or an OD on something we don't know she's addicted to yet I'm gonna laugh my ass off. TRO'ing an empath. wtf lol.
I have to say: She is pretty and hope this 'fan' will leave her alone now Executive Search

Reviews of Epworth Villa
Average Rating: based on 2 Reviews
I visited this facility
This facility offers all four levels of care. It also offers a variety of apartment and cottage sizes all of which are well-appointed. I have visited and interviewed a number of residents all of which are highly complementary of the facility. The food they serve is excellent. There are numerous activities one can participate in if desired.
I visited this facility
Epworth Villa in Oklahoma City is one of the better nursing homes in the area. The facility is extremely clean and well kept, and the decor is far nicer than the standard linoleum floors and plastered walls of most facilities. Patients' rooms are neatly organized, and they are surprisingly spacious. The staff works hard at this facility to see that the patients' needs are met, and the ratio between the staff and the residents is much smaller than usual. This allows for much better care of the residents. There are also a large number of activities that the residents can participate in, and the staff works hard to involve all of the residents in something that they can find stimulating. This facility also has a much better menu than most nursing homes do. The food there resembles something that is home-cooked, rather than the usual unidentifiable fare found in most nursing homes. All in all, this facility does a very good job of taking care of the people who are living there, and the staff works very hard at keeping everything in order. The main concern is for the patients, and every effort is made to ensure their safety and well-being.

This is going to be a GOOD phone. I hope it gets aps a lot!
If it proves to be quite popular which is possible given early fairly uniformly positive reviews, it could be disruptive to Nokia's planned disruption. But for Nokia, finally, what a good problem to have.
In my understanding the whole point of a smartphone is functional expandability via free/cheap apps that you can choose yourself from tens of thousands of offerings, so your handset is capable of exactly what you want it to be capable of. A lack of available apps can kill a smartphone, good hardware and a great UI notwithstanding.
They should put this manufacturer back on the market for cell phones…Nokia is a good brand….no dropped calls….customers at US Cellular loved them!!
I think QT is multiplataform, so program written for Meego will work on Windows Phone too.
What is the matter with Nokia's board, going along with the idiotic strategy by Elop. Fire Elop, and let the Nokio enigineers reinvent again.
Apps are there because the interface is limited. An app could be a weblink! How do customers pick from 100,000 apps? How do you prevent hackers? The app world is a gateway to really bad…we are looking at the tip of the iceberg now.
Dump Elop now!
it seems nokia wants to kill the golden bird which is about to lay golden eggs jst beceause of wp7..
ive had this phone for 4 months now, and it is the best ive ever had. better than my iphone, better than my galaxy. the UI is so slick, the hardware is magical and the whole experience is just a pleasure. buy this phone, you will love it.

And before we know it December will come knocking, and with it Festivus. I love this celebration for its community pot-luck dinner, the tables of handmade donations for the auction, and seeing what the kids have created in the classroom. This is really a pinnacle event for OCP with the focus on contributions into the community that everyone gets to enjoy. It was impossible to try every bit of available home-cooking last year, but that won't prevent me from trying again this year!
In between, of course, are other opportunities to get to know and enjoy the familial aspects of our OCP community, including facility work days (although hard, they are great bonding exercises) and Green Family Field Trips. In fact, there's a Green Family Field Trip scheduled for October 18, right about the time the weather in Atlanta is perfect for a good hike in the wilderness.
So make sure you mark your calendars for all the great celebrations that OCP has in store for the community, and make the effort to get to know fellow OCP parents! After all, OCP is more than just a preschool!

Walking on the Wild Side
I'll never forget the lost feeling I had the first time I walked into the library looking for books for my budding reader. He was in first grade and eager to read, but a typical boy who liked to walk on the wild side. I didn't know where to start. So, I asked the librarian to help me find some "first chapter books" that a boy would like. She lead me over to the shelf where the latest and most popular reading materials for boys his age were located. The shelf was filled with series after series of what looked like silly, gross, funny, and weird stories. "Perfect," I thought, "He'll love reading this!" So, after checking out a handful of books from the latest series, I went home to proof read. Yes, I proof read everything my children read before they read it. And I'm sure glad that I did that day.
Content Matters
These books, that were so popular with boys his age, were filled with protagonists with deplorable behavior. The behavior ranged from making fun of teachers, talking back to parents, and making fun of kids in class, to using language I would never approve of and laughing about socially inappropriate and awkward moments. I thought to myself, "This is what boys are reading these day! No wonder we've got problems. This is garbage!" So, then began my exploration for Books for Boys.
Books that were full of adventure, courage, fun, mystery, exploration, silly, funny, and gross stuff. Books that were not disrespectful of authority, unkind to peers, modeling rude or socially inappropriate behavior, and disobedience to parents. So, here on the blog I want to share with you the results of my labor, Book for Boys. I've found some really great ones from classics to current authors. We've loved every book, and it has fostered my sons love of story. I know it's a resource to you and your budding reader will enjoy as well.

'God father' of HK art honored for Smithsonian exhibit
Updated: 2014-07-08 14:49
By AMY HE in New York (China Daily USA)
Hong Kong contemporary artist Danny Yung at a luncheon in New York hosted by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, celebrating the successful run of Yung's art installation for the Smithsonian's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. Yung designed a flower plaque bamboo installation that was on display in Washington's National Mall. AMY HE / CHINA DAILY New York
The "godfather" of Hong Kong contemporary art, Danny Yung, was honored by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office after his installation for the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage successfully finished its run in Washington.
Commissioned by the center, Yung was asked to create a piece that centered on the theme of "folklife" and the Shanghai-born artist produced a 40-meter-wide, 10-meter-high flower plaque bamboo installation on the National Park in Washington, garnering more than 1 million visitors during its two-week run.
The flower plaque installation — called a fa paai in Cantonese — is one of the biggest installations ever built in the Smithsonian Center's annual festival and was on display from June 25 to July 6. Titled Gateway – Tian Tian Xiang Shang, it was designed by Yung and built by craftsmen from the Wing Kei Flower Store Ltd in collaboration with the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority. The fa paai is traditionally displayed in Hong Kong for celebratory events, such as weddings, family gatherings, or store openings, combining cultural heritage and artistic exchange, Yung said.
When the center initially commissioned him, Yung said he was unsure of the theme, because as a contemporary artist, he didn't know if he could make something in response to the idea of traditional folklife. But he said the importance of being able to spotlight Asian culture at a historic American location motivated him to take the challenge.
"The most important thing I wanted to do was deal with the cross-culturalism. I wanted to see how we can cope with the new challenges that's coming up [between China and the US], which have been around for quite a while," he told China Daily at the celebratory event held in New York on Monday.
"I think crossover is so important in dialoguing. If we [changed] our positions, I think we'll see things differently. I think we gain new perspectives and new sensitivities, so what I did with my installation is include a big wall, like the one in Tiananmen Square, but in the middle there's a gateway, so people can walk through it so that they can see where they come from, so they can learn what's on the other side," he said.
On the installation are four-character Chinese proverbs that begin with the character for "sky" — the title of the exhibit is one such proverb, meaning "to make progress every day" — which Yung said is a huge focal point in Chinese culture.
"Sky is so important in China, because China is an agricultural country. You have to look at the sky — if it rains, if it rains too much, if it's shining, if it's shining too much. All this affects the crops. So I did some studying and I traced many proverbs that start with the character 'sky' and I collected about 160 or something, and I picked 16 of those" to display on the installation, he said.
"Everyone would agree that the four-character idiom is the essential step to understanding the thousands of years of Chinese culture," Yung said in an artist statement about the installation. "My childish opinion was that the idiom 'look up to the sky as you conduct your life' is to remind us to watch the weather forecast, as it can help us determine whether or not to carry an umbrella when we go out; perhaps I understood the sky to represent seasons, the sun, and rain, which predicts the yearly harvest."
Featured in the installation is a statue of a mouthless child named Tian Tian who points up at the sky, symbolizing a person who's always striving to make progress every day, something that Yung said he wants to share in a dialogue between US-China artistic exchange.
"I hope new sensitivities [arise from those who visit the installation], as does a new way of looking at oneself. It's one important part of cultural exchange," he said. "Creativity too, because when I create a piece of work, I think that I learn more about myself and what I don't know."

Tags: iphone sdk, NSBundle, NSString, UIWebview
Loading Local Files into UIWebView
I thought i would make this a separate post to the Build your very own Web Browser! tutorial as it can be used for many different purposes and it took me a bit to figure it out.
For my example I am going to be trying to use a file in my local bundle in a UIWebView, my file is going to be called "sample.jpg" and it will be in the root folder of my project, this will work for any folder though.
I will show you the code and then I will explain it.
NSString *imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"//"];
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];
NSString *HTMLData = @"

Hello this is a test

";
[webView loadHTMLString:HTMLData baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"file:/%@//",imagePath]]];
Line 1
This will get the path to the main bundle root folder.
Line 2
We need the slashes to be double slashed to work correctly in the UIWebView, so we are searching for all instances of "/" and replacing it with "//"
Line 3
Same deal as above but we are searching for a space and replacing it with the HTML equivalent of %20
Line 4
This is putting some sample data together for out UIWebView, you will see that we have set the images source to just our "sample.jpg" file as it is sitting in the root folder, if it was in a folder called "images" we would need to set the source to "images//sample.jpg". Remember the double slashing!
Line 5
This is pretty much the same as my example in the tutorial although we are setting the baseURL to the root of our application bundle, this allows us to reference everything relatively instead of absolute paths.
Well thats about it, if you have done my Build your very own Web Browser! tutorial you will be able to replace the contents of applicationDidFinishLaunching with the above code (don't forget to leave the makeKeyAndVisible line in there) and you will be loading content from your local device in no time!
15 Comments
Thanks for the tutorial
Btw, the html-code is encoded in the sample-code, so you can only see the formatted html-code.
Ive been messing around with this code to try and load a separate html-file instead of the html-string you provide in the example, but cant get it functioning properly.
Here is my code, perhaps you could easily spot the problem?
// 1) Get: Get string from "outline.plist" in the "DrillDownSave"-codesample.
savedUrlString = [item objectForKey: @"itemUrl"];
// 2) Set: The url in string-format, excluding the html-appendix.
NSString *tempUrlString = savedUrlString;
// 3) Set: Format a url-string correctly. The html-file is located locally.
NSString *htmlFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:tempUrlString ofType:@"html"];
// 4) Set: Set an "NSData"-object of the url-sting.
NSData *htmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:htmlFile];
// 5. Gets the path to the main bundle root folder
NSString *imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
// 6. Need to be double-slashes to work correctly with UIWebView, so change all "/" to "//"
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"//"];
// 7. Also need to replace all spaces with "%20"
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];
// 8) Load: Laddar den lokala html-sidan.
[webView loadData:htmlData MIMEType:@"text/html" textEncodingName:@"UTF-8" baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"file:/%@//",imagePath]]];
The html-page is a simple one, with this code:
Testing to load an image:
It loads fine, but only displays the text and no image.
Can you spot the problem?
It seems the browser only displays formatted html-code, so here it is again, replacing the tags with [ and ] brackets instead:
Testing to load an image:
[img src="logo.jpg"/]
Sorry about the encoding, I always forget to convert it. Your code didn't appear either, you can use < and > instad of < and >
I cannot see your html so I cant really check, have you spat out the [NSString stringWithFormat:@"file:/%@//",imagePath] with a puts or a NSLog? That way you can confirm that the base path is indeed correct.
All I want to do is loading a HTML file , I added css , calendar.html and images into Resources in XCode.
but I can't load it in UIWebView. Please help me.
Btw this html file has Js file too
I am trying to figure out the best way to implement some functionality that requires styled text runs within a block of text, presented as part of what stylistically appears as a grouped list view. Whether or not this is the actual implementation remains to be seen by what we end up being able to actually do with the framework. I have been having a heck of a time getting this to work this week, so I may have to try a different approach.
Here's what we are trying to implement:
The screen will contain is a grouped list of four or more items. TWO of the items are blocks of text, ie. a section entitled Overview and a section entitled Description. Inside the rounded rectangle item of the particular section there is but one cell. That cell will contain static text about this item. What we would LIKE to show in this is richly formatted text. This is something that is currently not possible with UILabel items. The secondary requirement is that we want a simple way that a non-programmer (the content expert using this) can edit their own text content for these cells in a layout editor of some sort, and have this information presented in the application at runtime for their customers. To this end, we thought that perhaps a UIWebView would be the ideal solution. We might also be able to have a version in which the application pulls the content from a remote web source, which would allow the trainer to customize the content presentation remotely.
And now the fun begins.
So this part of the program is organized as follows:
There is a protocol that defines an abstract interface for a factory class, whose purpose is to create the four various cell types that are required for this particular screen. There is an instance of a concrete factory created that conforms to this protocol and contains a few required fields. This is passed into the designated initializer of my subclass of UITableViewController. This tableview controller conforms to the UITableViewDelegate protocol, so that it can use its factory object to create the required cells, provide group counts, names, etc, and cell size information.
I have for my overview cell defined a subclass of the UITableViewCell, which contains a subview that is a UIWebView. I'm creating this from a nib, btw.
SO through various contortions, I get the UIWebView supplied with the file URL of the HTML content it needs to display. It's just text…
So what I then try to do, or rather what I WANT to do, is have the content loaded, with the width of the UIWebView constrained to the dimensions set in the frame in IB. I want the height of the UIWebView to grow to whatever height is required to fully render the block of styled text contained in the file. I setup the HTML with a viewport meta tag that I thought would constrain the width and disable scaling, but am unsure if it actually is working as I wanted it to.
So anyway, the UIWebView delegate gets called when the content is done loading. What I wanted to do there is constrain the width of the UIWebView, and size the height to that required to show all of the content. I try doing this by invoking sizeToFit. Interesting effect, but not quite what I wanted… I can't figure out how to constrain it, and the UIWebView, despite being contained in the content superview of the cell, is not being CLIPPED to the view of the container. But that's another problem.
What I then wanted to do is cause the containing cell to be redrawn and resized to fit the height of the content in the UIWebView. I tried telling the table view that it needed redisplay, or needed to be layed out again, but neither of these seem to have any effect. So what I get is an unconstrained UIWebView with the content I want, overrunning the view of the parent container view within the cell.
How to make this work?
First question, I guess, is how to constrain the UIWebView in one direction and then query its height after it has loaded and sized its content.
Second question is, how do I get the tableview to redraw itself and ask for the cell heights again?
I can easily re-architect this so that the UIWebViews are created prior to the table creation, and then when I make the cells in the tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath, I could size the cell based upon what I know as the size of the UIWebView, and just add it as a subview of the cell's content view… But then how do I convert the size of the UIWebView cell, which is in pixels, to points, which is what ableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: returns?
I could also just NOT do this with a tableview, but rather just lay out my own set of views. But then the problem still remains, how do we constrain UIWebView in one direction, size it in another direction and then query what that new height is so that the containing view can be sized appropriately?
Furthermore, this view will not always contain just four items. We could have multiple video placards (which invoke video playback in media player) as well as still image views, diagrams, etc. The contents are all data-driven, edited via plist goodness, and a sort of "data bundle" which is a hierarchy of folders containing assets, such as HTML for rich text, images, video assets, etc. In this manner, a non-programmer will be able to customize the content, and not bug me every time they want to modify the product.
So any ideas? Any idea of a better approach that will meet these requirements? I can, of course, change the design requirements, but I am a stubborn SOB.
Hi again,
I finally got it working to load an image locally (se first post)
The problem was the html-code, but this works fine:

However, I dont have the same luck with loading a sound-file (wav) in the same manner:
<embed src="test.wav" loop="false" autoplay="false" width="145″ height="60″></embed>
I thought that the "imagePath" in the code would give you access to other local objects as well, but perhaps I misunderstood?
These tutorials have been very helpful. However, when I add the code from above to the Web Browser tutorial, it throws the following errors. Do you have any idea on how I might correct?
/Users/pfavaro/Desktop/WebBrowserTutorial/Classes/WebBrowserTutorialAppDelegate.m:36: error: syntax error before '@' token
/Users/pfavaro/Desktop/WebBrowserTutorial/Classes/WebBrowserTutorialAppDelegate.m:36: error: syntax error at 'OTHER' token
/Users/pfavaro/Desktop/WebBrowserTutorial/Classes/WebBrowserTutorialAppDelegate.m:38: error: syntax error at 'OTHER' token
/Users/pfavaro/Desktop/WebBrowserTutorial/Classes/WebBrowserTutorialAppDelegate.m:36: warning: unused variable 'HTMLData'
Build failed (3 errors, 1 warning)
Thanks, this is helpful!
One things that's been driving me nuts though. I have images that are 480×320. The bounds of my UIWebView are also those dimensions. But the images shows up much smaller on the iPhone. I think this has something to do with the iPhone shrinking things so that "most" webpages look good on it. But how can I disable this in the context of my UIWebView? I would like to generate content at 480×320 and then load it and have it take the whole screen.
This has been driving me nuts! Any ideas?
Either way, thanks to all those who posted replies, and especially to the writer of this tutorial!
This may be a bit more convenient:
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]];
I was able to load a test.html file located locally using UIWebView. However, I would like to hyperlink other local html (L2.html) from test.html. I could not get it to work by using a tag in test.html with HREF="L2.html" . Can anyone help?
Thank you.
Add ur html into the .m file itself.
NSString *HTMLData = @"your html shd go here, delete all the whitespace. ";
Does anyone know how to load images from the Documents directory? I tried this and it doesn't work for Documents…
I have this code:
NSString *imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"//"];
imagePath = [imagePath stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];
NSString *HTMLData = @"";
[webView loadHTMLString:HTMLData baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"file:/%@//",imagePath]]];
and when i test it, it shows me the small cube with a question mark in it, as it doesn't find the image.
What am i doing wrong?
Hey there, I do believe the solution to the image issue is that all images in your application are bundled and appear at the root directory. In other words, you can have a structure like Resources/html/images/foo.jpg, but when you call that image like so your app won't find it – the image in the bundle is at the root level, so only will work. This goes for CSS/Javascript etc. I might be wrong about this, but this http://iphoneincubator.com/blog/windows-views/uiwebview-revisited and this post http://iphoneincubator.com/blog/windows-views/display-images-in-uiwebview seem to corroborate that fact. If anyone else knows how to creat sub-folders that work, please let us all know! Cheers
this works very well and fast but it does not load images if I give baseurl instead of nil. It takes few seconds to load.
NSURL *myUrl = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:self.contentPath];
//NSLog(@"Content url is %@",myUrl);
NSString *string = [[NSString alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:self.contentPath encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:nil];
[contentDisplay loadHTMLString:string baseURL:nil]; //here nil if replaced by myUrl webView takes time to load. Any help ?
[string release];
[myUrl release];
@Neil Mix: even simpler is
NSURL *baseURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourceURL];
Thanks a bunch man, you saved me a lot of time

Motor lawyer Jeanette Miller examines various popular – and in some cases, illegal – strategies used by drivers to avoid being caught by speed cameras.
Obviously the simplest way to avoid a speeding prosecution is to ensure you drive in accordance with the relevant speed limit in the first place.
If caught, you can always hire a specialist solicitor to challenge the speed camera reading, but the bad news is that as far as the Home Office and the courts are concerned, speed cameras are by and large extremely accurate devices.
When challenging speeding cases, our clients' defences often involve some element of human error on the part of the officer operating the speed gun rather than simply suggesting the device used is inherently inaccurate.
But are there ways to fool speed cameras so you don't even need to consult a lawyer?
When you pass the first of a pair of average-speed cameras (often used when there are roadworks or lane closures), it takes a photograph of your registration plate, regardless of whether you are speeding or not.
Another camera further down the road does the same and a calculation is made as to how quickly you covered that distance, which gives your average speed.
The original situation was that these devices were only approved by the Home Office to monitor a single lane.
Recently, however, their remit has been extended to cover multiple lanes, so changing lanes will not prevent a speeding ticket.
This is illegal. The regulations governing what can and cannot be done to a registration plate are quite prescriptive.
In particular it must not be treated in any way which makes the numbers and letters difficult to distinguish by eye, or which would prevent or impair the taking of a photograph of the plate.
This even applies to the positioning or colour of any bolts or screws attaching the plate to the vehicle.
There are also regulations as to the dimensions of the numbers and letters and for how they are grouped on the plate.
Any breach of these regulations could lead to a fine of up to £1,000.
There are two types of devices which are available, both of which are legal, and some satnavs have these both included.
Having said that, both have their limitations.
The first type of device comes preloaded with the locations of static cameras and which warn you as you are approaching them.
There are three main problems with these devices:
These devices are not particularly accurate and in some instances only give a warning as late as a third of a second before the radar gun hits your car to detect your speed, at which point it is far too late to slow down.
It is up to you whether you think that shelling out for one of these devices, perhaps costing hundreds of pounds, is worth it.
Speed cameras work up to around 300mph so unless you are driving a jet-powered car the answer is no.

One might suspect that younger adults would be the age group least supportive of Gov. Sam Brownback's (left) re-election, given his stance on gay marriage and other social issues. But a new SurveyUSA poll, sponsored by KSN, Channel 3, shows younger voters as Brownback's biggest backers. Though he trails Democratic gubernatorial candidate Paul Davis (right) by 8 points overall, 40 to 48 percent, Brownback leads by 15 points with voters younger than age 35. Brownback also has a 4-point lead with 35- through 49-year-olds. Davis leads by 13 points with 50- through 64-year-olds and by 20 points with those 65 and older. Also of note: Davis' lead in the Wichita area is 7 points, nearly identical to the statewide results. Davis leads by 15 points with women and by 2 points with men. And on the issue of education, Davis leads by a whopping 58 points, 76 to 18 percent.

Philadelphia 76ers tap Sam Hinkie as new general manager
Sixers' Bynum out until January
Report: 76ers hire Jordan as new coach
NBA: Philadelphia 100, LA Clippers 92
NBA: Philadelphia 109, Washington 103
NBA: Philadelphia 104, Washington 89
76ers fire Coach Maurice Cheeks
Man reunited with ring lost in 1958
Tony DiLeo served as the 21st head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA. He took over the position mid-season on December 13, 2008 after then-head coach Maurice Cheeks was fired after starting the season with a 9-14 record. The team went 32-27 under DiLeo's leadership (finishing the season 41-41 overall), and lost their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series to the Orlando Magic. At the end of the season, DiLeo withdrew his name from consideration to return as head coach, opting instead to return to the Sixers' front office as senior vice president and assistant general manager.
DiLeo was a basketball star at Cinnaminson High School in New Jersey.
DiLeo played basketball at Tennessee Tech and La Salle University, where, as a junior, he was named first-team Academic All-American and went on to graduate maxima cum laude from the La Salle School of Business.

UK 'evil group' arrested for keeping under age girls as sex slaves
An evil gang in Britain has been arrested for keeping five schoolgirls aged between 12 and 14 as sex slaves.
The group, which includes one adult and three youths all of Roma and Kurdish origin, raped and sexually abused the girls.
One 13-year-old, who is partly deaf and has learning difficulties, was attacked at a park and inside a Wendy house.
According to mirror.co.uk, she was also sold for sex at 20 pounds once by ringleader Zdeno Mirga, 18.
The attackers were arrested after the girl confided in a social worker after being taken into care.
She told jurors at the Old Bailey in London that she was taken to a party and given a cocktail of drink and drugs.
She described lying on the bed 'like dead' while being touched by Migra and his friend before performing oral sex.
The girl was raped by either one-on-one or in groups of up to ten.
The gang had all been found guilty of the attacks in Peterborough, Cambs, in 2012.
Mirga was sentenced to 16 and a half years for inciting child prostitution, eight rapes and four charges of sexual activity with a child.
Others were awarded up to 20 years and 12 years for rapes and offences of sexual activity with a child involving two girls.

And when you bundle it with high-speed internet, you get a fast internet connection, one low monthly bill, and can save up to $400 every year. Plus cable is:

However, 1,160 people in Coldwater still watch regularly broadcast programming. And 72% of Americans bundle their cable TV and Internet.

Coldwater Born Actors
We're willing to bet that Coldwater, MS likes Jensen Ackles. He began his acting career in 1996 with roles in various TV programs. From 1998 - 2002, he portrayed Eric Brady on NBC's "Days of Our Lives." Ackles had recurring roles in two popular TV series, "Dark Angel" and "Smallville."

Both are fighting evil forces from heaven and hell. Check out all the action on the WB with cable TV.

What it comes down to is that we know television like Lisa Simpson knows the saxophone. That's why we can connect you with the right cable service, which isn't as arrogant as it sounds.

Simply enter your zip code in the box to find out who the cable provider is in Coldwater.

slight problem...
The hitch with renice-ing is that the user can't restore their processes to the proper level without sudo privileges. You are only allowed to increase your own process nice level, not decrease it.
If you allow all your users to have sudo then it's not an issue, and you could hook a "renice 10 -u $userID" in before the -switchTouserID line. The script will always have to be run 'sudo', of course.
slight problem...
Maybe one could just make this a setUID executable with the owner as root and executable by all. If that were done then you could also use the root priviledge to set the nice level of the incoming user to 0 or 10 or something good in the same script.

The Book Channel is a satellite TV channel that launched in 2009 and broadcasts its show three times a week on SKY and Freesat, as well as on their Youtube channel and website. Each show is presented by author Tina Bettison and features three interviews with authors talking about their books and there is also a slot for writing a book and getting it published. The Book Channel was the idea of ex-ITV program-maker Richard Flewitt, Fred Perkins, CEO of Information TV, and Paul Hammond, a business entrepreneur.
From the promotional flyer for Book Channel TV:
"The benefits:
Authors have an extremely high broadcast quality video to promote their book at less than the cost of doing a home video.
Authors are promoted through the book channel internationally to new audiences, through internet marketing, viral messaging, PR and TV.
Authors can refer to the interview through bloggs, twitter, micro websites, YouTube, press releases that the video is available
The book can be advertised to book shops as going to be on TV driving early sales and stand positioning.
Publishers can actively promote getting their authors on television.*
(*The Book Channel reserve the right to not broadcast unsuitable or inappropriate material.)
Publishers will also receive a license to use the content on other websites to promote the book.
Videos are being actively encouraged by Amazon and Borders for their websites.
Publishers working with us can also come on as the expert providing advice.
Takes place twice per month
Books will be selected as appropriate to provide a balanced programme
Filming takes place near Nottingham. Closest train station is Grantham (just over 1 hour from London) where a taxi can pick up the author and transfer them.
Transportation costs are the responsibility of the author
Cost is only £990 + vat, which for a high broadcast quality video interview is excellent. See for yourself at www.thebookchannel.tv
Please submit books via: www.thebookchannel.tv
NB; No refund is provided for authors that cancel although we will endeavour to move to the next available filming dates or you can transfer the slot to another appropriate book on the same day."
And from the Book Channel TV website...
"International applications are accepted although you will have to be in the UK on one of our filming dates."
Flewitt came up with the idea for Book Channel TV because of the saturation of celebrity book reviews on TV and the lack of deserving space for less well-known authors and their books. The book review/interview slots are essentially paid marketing segments for authors and publishers, and less actual book reviews. I don't see Tina Bettison telling an author, 'Your book is shit' after that author or their publisher has forked out £990+vat!
The Book Channel do say submission of books is free (gee, thanks) and those submissions will be screened and reviewed for possible inclusion. Successful applicants will then be contacted and a film date organised at their Nottingham studio location. It should be noted the above detailed flyer about fees did not come from the Book Channel TV site itself, but from Flewitt's page on ecademy.com, a business network site.
After four shows (12 marketing slots), the most notable publishers to have taken part are HarperCollins, Marshall Cavendish, Michael Joseph (Penguin), and Phoenix (Orion Publishing). All of these previous publishers were part of the fourth and last show to be aired. The previous three shows featured the following publishers; Childrens World Publishing (one book, one author, one company - see the link), Word4Word (small indie press/author resources), Ecademy Press (fee-charging co-operative publishing service) and Live Consciously (one book, one author, one company). Ecademy and Word4Word accounted for six of the twelve featured books and authors.
There are a few things we can glean. This remains a relatively new endeavor, but with a great deal of potential, and I entirely accept that putting together a TV slot on SKY satellite is going to run into a four figure amount, even for a 30 minute program, so maybe £990+vat for an author is not so expensive, but then, the guidelines for the Book Channel TV tell us you don't just 'pay your money and off you go on TV' - only some submission applicants are successful - if you call shifting £990+vat out of your back pocket a successful move. The finished licensed video given to an author using this service could be a very significant crowbar to leverage promotion of their book and drive sales - that cannot be in doubt.
Here is the caveat and what to ponder on. Is this simply vanity publishing for TV? The fact the last show featured all commercial publishing houses and the other three shows featured authors who may have self-published or used a publishing service or are linked to a business suggests not. In fact, with commercial publishing houses like HarperCollins, Penguin (its imprints), Marshall Cavendish and Orion (its imprints) getting on board, if anything, there is the possibility the small guys and the self-publishing guys might get entirely pushed out if the commercial publishing houses see this as an ideal opportunity for their less well-known authors to gain TV exposure, and at £990+vat, that is a pretty good return for a marketing department at a large house.
If you visit the Book Channel TV website, have a close look at the advertising blocks below the header and to the right. AuthorHouse are never too far away when there is a new gig in town. If anything, they are the most prominent purchaser of advert space on the site at the moment. Remember the price charged - £990+vat, so if you start seeing 'Get your book and author interview on TV' packages appearing on the AuthorHouse site, or any other author solutions service, beware of what you are being asked to pay for it.
The Book Channel TV show will be at the London Book Fair, no doubt looking to fill their forthcoming author interview slots, but they will also be covering events at the Fair on Tuesday and Wednesday. The two shows planned will be broadcast over the first two weeks of May.

Mediator, though it has some deployment quirks. Kids here love it.
Cheers guys,
We might be looking at Photoshop and something else for Web design - although I assume flash is the way to go for animation even if it seems it could be going out? What are the viable alternatives to flash for animation?
Mediator, though it has some deployment quirks. Kids here love it.
Why pay good money££ when you can teach the kids HTML5 and CSS & CSS3 and use the free editors such as GIMP and Notepad++ it's not as pretty as a 3rd party design software but it does the job and kid's learn faster than us old cronies.
All the teachers of IT will need to do is develop an extra skill and try and keep up with the kids once they start.
