Stern Talks About His Push To Have 66-Game Schedule This Season
Published January 23, 2012
QUALITY OF PLAY: In a recent Q&A with the ORLANDO SENTINEL's Josh Robbins, Stern was asked if he believes that "quality of play is similar to where it would be in a normal season 3½ weeks in." Stern: "I think that the quality of play is probably -- how do I say this? -- about the same, more or less, of where it has been after the requisite period of practice and time. For our teams 3½ weeks in, in some measure it's like they're finishing training camp on a timing basis. So they're catching up to their potential." Robbins asked to "what degree, if any, are you concerned about injuries," and if Stern sees "any tie to lack of a full training camp?" Stern: "When the players and we agreed to the current season, we knew together that we were buying whatever it was that that bundle of games offered up. But it seemed to be something that both sides thought was a good idea" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 1/22). In Boston, Mark Murphy wrote at "first glance, it appears as though the younger, more athletic teams are thriving." Celtics F Chris Wilcox said, "It's definitely kind of tough, but we have to deal with what we've got. In the past when you have training camp, most of the guys are here a month before training camp even starts to get ready. They get to play with each other, get a little rhythm, and that way they cut out a lot of those little nagging injuries" (BOSTON HERALD, 1/22).

Northampton announce Fotuali'i swoop

Comment from ESPNscrum's Tom Hamilton
Northampton have pulled off a huge coup with the signing of Ospreys scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i ahead of next season.
With Fotuali'i's Ospreys contract up at the end of the season, his signature was hotly sought after. The likes of Munster, Bath, Racing Metro, Montpellier and Saracens were all linked with the Samoan No.9 but the Saints have won the race after offering him a contract reportedly worth £250,000 a season.
He will now link up with the Saints in the summer ahead of the 2013-14 campaign and will vie with England's Lee Dickson for the half-back berth. He has caught the eye with a number of memorable performances for the Ospreys, both in the Heineken Cup and the RaboDirect PRO12 and Saints coach Jim Mallinder is delighted with his new recruit, who will work under soon-to-be Northampton backs coach Alex King next season.
"Kahn is a player who has attracted a lot of positive headlines and attention throughout his career," Mallinder said. "He has a superb set of skills and is a powerful and dynamic runner who will add to our options in one of the team's crucial positions.
"We're delighted that he has chosen to sign a long-term contract to play his rugby at Franklin's Gardens, and we're looking forward to welcoming him to the club in the summer."
For the Ospreys, the news will come as a massive blow. Fotuali'i was one of their star players and their chief operations officer Andrew Hore claims that they could not match the offer on the table from the Saints.
"We are obviously disappointed to lose a player of Kahn's quality," Hore said. "We made what we consider a very competitive offer to the player to retain his services, but unfortunately, he has advised us that his future lies elsewhere.
"When Kahn signed for us it was pretty much under the radar and he has thrived in our environment, playing the best rugby of his career this season which has led to the intense interest in his services. Kahn was happy to stay here, but we were unable to match the salary available elsewhere, and we totally understand that it is only a short career and he needs to put his and his family's future first.
"Although this is disappointing news, the early decision from Kahn allows us to move forward positively as a business with an eye on next season and possible player recruitment. We will continue to look for under the radar signings who will offer value for money while contributing immensely to our environment, just as Kahn has."

In 2013, I ran two marathons that completely schooled me again. The first, Myrtle Beach was spot for a 3:38 finish until the last 4 miles. Then splits started to slip, first by 10 seconds, then 45. Mile 25 was off by 1:30, then 26 was 2 minutes slower than goal pace. I hit the wall hard. I obviously wasn't ready for a 3:38. More disturbing though, was the effect of the fellow runners around me during that race. Before those final miles, a couple was keeping pace with me; the woman was clearly attempting to BQ. He kept giving splits all through the race and letting her know how she stood. Somewhere, near mile 23, she also started to slow and said "I'm hurting". His response to this was to berate and curse at her. My response was to try to get away from them, so I tried to speed up. The man said: "You have to catch up to her!". So they stayed with me, all while she voiced her discomfort and he verbally abused her. At that point, I decided: there's another way to get away from them. I'll just slow down. And it made sense at the time.
When Jason mentioned that he would help pace me during this marathon, I returned to the Myrtle Beach memory more often than I care to admit. I didn't want to hit the wall again. I assured him that if I needed encouragement, it would have to be a little more kind and gentle than what I had heard that day in Myrtle Beach, but I wasn't sure what I needed when I hit the wall. He said: you are going to be tough enough to keep going. I was happy for his enthusiasm, but I didn't think I had it in me yet.
Every time I envision finishing another marathon, I picture another woman from Myrtle Beach with whom I had chatted and run with early in the race for a few miles. Somewhere between mile 25 and 26, she floated by, gleefully calling out, "C'mon! We've got this!" with a huge grin. I wanted to be like THAT at the end my next marathon.
I tried again for a BQ race a few months later, which ended with a finishing time 10 minutes slower than my Myrtle Beach time. You can read about that BQ bust here.
So, I decided to meet with a coach this spring, Carl Leivers, to take a look at my mechanics and make some tweaks. I worked with him for all the months building up to the marathon with a customized plan. Training went really well (no injuries... what!?!) and I truly believe it was Carl's careful mileage increases, his tips on strengthening and the suggestions he made for running form tweaks that made all the difference.
After some really easy logistics of parking, figuring out warm up layers, using the port-a-potties, jogging a short warm up (this is why I love smaller races) we nestled into the start line crowd and were sent off with a big cannon boom. At gun time it was pretty chilly, about 36 degrees. I was wearing shorts, leg compression sleeves, my Oiselle singlet, arm warmers, a long sleeve throwaway T-shirt, gloves and a knit beanie. At the expo we had chatted with a man who had run this race a few times and he let us know that most of the course (because it is so heavily wooded) is in the shade, and stays on the cooler side. He was spot on.
Miles 1-6 (8:23, 8:18, 8:08, 8:12, 7:54, 8:15)
For the first mile or so we stayed around the 6th Calvary Museum, a little loop lined with lots of enthusiastic supporters, then a stretch of road that linked to a poorly paved trail (I talk about that in my Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon race review here) and then into the Battlefield Park and the start of the first loop. There were lots of runners around us during this first loop: I had this vision of the race where Jason and I would be all alone because the field was so small, but it actually never felt that way. We pretty quickly fell into step with a group of three runners who were also from Atlanta who were keeping almost exactly the same pace. At some point in this stretch we were at the bottom of a hill, heading east. The sun's rays were low in the sky and were filtering through all the frosty exhalations of the runners who were in front of us. I desperately wished I could have photographed the scene; hopefully I can remember that for a long time. I took a Gu at mile 6 or so right after a water stop. I tossed the cup on the ground near the aid station, but took my time with the Gu. I shoved empty Gu into my pocket and said something to Jason about being careful not to litter on the course, since this was a National Park. I also off-handedly mentioned that if people relieved themselves outside of a port-a-potty that they could be ticketed by Park Police. I think he grunted.
Miles 7-11 (8:09, 8:08, 8:12, 8:19, 8:16)
Here's where the course splits from the half marathon and re-joins it. I said to Jason: these people are running faster than us, don't let that mess with my head. He said something about not liking that. But that was it. I had thought that we would talk a lot more during the race. His face was frozen, I later learned, and he was having a hard time moving his jaw. Having Jason with me was a great comfort. I wasn't sure that I wanted his company for the whole race, but am so thankful he was there with me. Quite frankly, I liked his company. Most of my anxiety for this race was about pacing: fear of going out too fast in the beginning, and then dropping off in the end when my concentration was low. I wasn't checking splits every mile because I knew he was. When we dipped into the seven's at mile 5 he just said "Let's relax a bit".
We hit a water stop right around mile 11 but I didn't have the urge to take a Gu. Right ahead of us was a port-a-potty. All of the sudden, Jason just said "Keep going, Katie - I will catch up!" and then he was gone. The course crosses over railroad tracks at that point and then makes a sharp turn. I heard the potty door slam and guessed that was where he had gone. For the first time in a long time I looked down at my watch. My overall average pace was 8:12. Wow.
Miles 12-13 (8:14, 8:17)
It took a little while for Jason to catch up to me - maybe a 1/2 mile. We ran through an area that was a little more open during this stretch, and Jason said "How are you feeling?" I didn't feel good at all. My legs felt tired and I felt achy. I was actually freaking out mentally, because I was trying to understand how in the world I was going to get through the next 14 miles without falling apart. Instead of answering, I didn't say anything. I didn't even acknowledge the question, because if I answered it truthfully, I was afraid of what I would do. Jason didn't say a thing more. We passed over the half marathon mat, both took a Gu and kept on going. I started to refer to myself in the third person (I realize that this sounds insane, but there is research to back it up: heard about it on the AMR podcast about Sarah Bowen Shea's Victoria marathon) and silently repeated: "Katie is strong, Katie is fit, Katie can do this".
Miles 14-20 (8:08, 8:12, 8:07, 8:08, 8:20, 8:07, 8:11)
I like to mentally break the marathon into three chunks: the first half, the miles up to 20, and then the last 10K. For some reason, the aches and pains from the previous miles weren't bothering me. "Jason, I felt really, really bad a few miles ago, and now I just don't". He said: "I think that there will be bad patches. It's important to remember that things are going to get better. There may be another one like that." We had caught up to the little group of three from Atlanta again and chatted with them some more. They slowly started to pull away again, and we said so long. "Maybe we'll see you in the existential suffering that is the last 10K of the marathon!" one yelled out as they went down a hill in front of us. Those are some parting words. I took about half a Gu at mile 20 or so. My stomach gave me the signals that it couldn't take anymore, so I listened. I wasn't going to chance getting sick on the course this time around.
We passed a group of Boy Scouts on a hike, and Jason remarked that they were Webelos. I had a brief history of Boy Scout uniforms, but just kept repeating the word "Webelo, webelo, webelo" over and over and over again in my head, not saying a thing. Then Jason said: "Webelo: We Be Loyal Scouts". I made a mental note to address that horrifying grammar error with the Boy Scouts of America later. But I didn't have the energy to discuss it then. (We looked it up later that night and discovered that it stands for We'll Be Loyal Scouts. That gave us quite a chuckle.)
Miles 21-26.2 (8:23, 8:32, 8:22, 8:03, 8:18, 8:11, 7:11 for 0.2)
Somewhere around mile 22, I started to have some stomach upset. The other little group from Atlanta had lost one of their three, and we ran by him as he slowed near the shoulder. We passed, and he began to vomit on the side of the road. There was an aid station shortly ahead, so we knew he would get some help there. The sound and smell hit me and I started to unravel a bit; I actually whimpered, and then dry heaved maybe once or twice. I dropped a glove, whimpered some more as if it was the end of the world and almost STOPPED TO PICK UP THE GLOVE. Jason looked at me and said, "You've got this, Katie. Let the glove go." That mile had some uphill portions, but then we just kept running down gentle descents, Jason saying periodically "You are doing well. You've got this.", and I felt something just click into place. Katie is strong. Katie is fit. Katie can do this.
At the last aid stations I took a cup of Powerade; but I only swished and spit it out. Suddenly the last 10K of the race had turned into the last 5K of the race. When the mile 23 sign came up, I remarked that is was like running from our familiar three mile turn-around point to our house. I felt a fire light up inside me. What was happening? I turned my legs over a little bit faster and they went. Then the mile 24 sign popped up. I said "Jason!" (Which all I could get out, but meant "Jason! I might actually DO this!"). He replied: "You are doing this, Katie!" At some point I remember thinking, "So THIS is what it feels like to run with your heart."
We were passing a lot of people, both marathon and half-marathon runners. Most people offered up encouragement, which was a testament to their character, and something I need to remember when I'm in the last miles of a marathon. At mile 25, Jason said "You are running really well. I may not be able to stay with you, but I want you to go as hard as you can." Wait, what?
I wound along the access road, which by now felt brutally uneven and rough on my feet. Passing people, thanking volunteers, nodding when the course sentries said "400 meters to go!"
We came around a sweeping curve with a wonderful downhill into the finish. I heard my friend Lindsay (with her sweet baby bundled in an Ergo) cowbelling and yelling "Go Katie! Go go go!" Next to her was our friend Sara. Seeing them there was too much. They came all this way to cheer for me! I looked at the finish line clock. It said 3:36. I saw my friends again. And I started to bawl.
I ran into the finish and ugly-cried my way through a medal, a cold water bottle and a huge hug with my husband. I found Lindsay and Sara and cried on them.
Jason and I walked and walked around the finish area and I was over the moon. This pie-in-the-sky goal that I threw out there as a challenge to myself just happened. I don't know if I have ever felt so GOOD after a marathon. I'm so thankful for the patience of my husband, children, friends, and running buddies, as well as the great coaching, advice and general guidance from Carl.
For the first time, I didn't moan "I'm never doing that again!" at the finish line. This was a perfect race in so many ways.
What's your most memorable race?

A Journey through Great Lent
Edited by The Very Rev. Stephen Belonick
Church Tradition instructs that each Christian should maintain a daily discipline of prayer. Likewise, the Church encourages us to read the scripture daily, and to familiarize ourselves with the lives of the saints and the teachings of the Church Fathers. These aspects of Tradition are not only tools that help us in the spiritual life, but they are weapons against the devil and, most importantly, they are spiritual nourishment. These treasures can help shape us as Christians. No period to allow this formation to begin is more appropriate than the Great Lent.
We offer these meditations for daily use in your journey through the 40 days of the Great Lent. Inside, you will find for each day a prescribed and selected scripture from the Old or New Testament, a meditation on the scripture, a selection from the practical advice of the Church Fathers, and edifying saint's life and an excerpt from a hymn from the day's service.

CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 02/11/13 -- Technology Services Group (TSG) has used Dynamsoft's Web TWAIN software development kit (SDK) to create its OpenCapture application ideal for web-based image document management including, scanning, archival and retrieval. The application is suited for companies requiring simple document scanning and storage. This includes pharmacies, clinics, government agencies and others that require simple, fast, single batch scanning for documentation such as contracts, ID cards, insurance cards and more.
OpenCapture can be seamlessly implemented for document captures and image storage in an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) repository. The typical process of its use involves logging in to the ECM repository and initiating a scan. The user then fills in document metadata to better ID the document and then can import the image to the ECM repository for secured storage and access.
"OpenCapture enables fast, simple web-based image capturing and allows users to control certain features like color type, resolution, page rotations and more," said George Steimer, Product Manager for TSG. "It can become time-consuming to develop comprehensive image capture applications. But, in leveraging Dynamsoft's Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK, we were able to cost-effectively bring OpenCapture to market very quickly."
OpenCapture supports multiple ECM repositories including Alfresco® and EMC Documentum®. Authentication to these repositories is supported via standalone or pass-through authentication. Dynamsoft's Web TWAIN SDK is a browser-based solution for developing applications for image acquisition including, editing and saving capabilities. It supports all popular Internet browsers. Its TWAIN interface allows developers to write just a couple of lines of code to support scanning documents from TWAIN-compatible scanners. It also supports TWAIN-based digital cameras and capture cards. The SDK seamlessly enables convenient user capabilities. This includes the ability to edit scanned images and save them in a variety of formats or to a remote database. The TWAIN control also supports loading and processing local images.
"Dynamsoft's comprehensive suite of image capture SDKs provide powerful convenience for programmers," said Amy Gu, Vice President of Dynamsoft. "We enable enterprises to far more quickly develop and deploy standards-based and highly secure image capture applications to suit a variety of industry needs. We're able to dramatically reduce development times from months to days in very cost-effective software development kit solutions."
TSG's OpenCapture solution is available through TSG's open source program. TSG pricing is customized dependent on implementation needs. Interested parties should inquire with TSG via http://www.tsgrp.com/about/contact.jsp. Dynamsoft's SDKs are also available for download from the Dynamsoft website at http://www.dynamsoft.com/. Pricing, available online, depends on the SDK type and add-on options.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Obama is going to keep the prison at Gitmo open at least a little while longer:
With four months left to meet its self-imposed deadline for closing the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Obama administration is working to recover from missteps that have put officials behind schedule and left them struggling to win the cooperation of Congress....
The White House has faltered in part because of the legal, political and diplomatic complexities involved in determining what to do with more than 200 terrorism suspects incarcerated at the prison. But senior advisers privately acknowledge failing to devise a concrete plan for where to move the detainees and mishandling Congress.
To address these setbacks, the administration has shifted its leadership team on the issue. White House Counsel Gregory B. Craig, who initially guided the effort to close the prison and who was an advocate of setting the deadline, is no longer in charge of the project, two senior administration officials said this week.
Craig said Thursday that some of his early assumptions were based on miscalculations, in part because Bush administration officials and senior Republicans in Congress had spoken publicly about closing the facility. "I thought there was, in fact, and I may have been wrong, a broad consensus about the importance to our national security objectives to close Guantanamo and how keeping Guantanamo open actually did damage to our national security objectives," he said.
You have to read the whole piece to appreciate just how much humble pie the administration is eating on this one. Craig dutifully throws himself under the bus and, per the Post, will be rewarded with a plum diplomatic assignment in the very near future. Meanwhile, the real blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Republicans in Congress, as Craig points out, the Bush administration, the international community, and the American people -- all of whom have let Obama down.
Apparently the Bush administration didn't keep tidy enough files -- they "had been left in disarray." And this made it impossible for the administration to know just what kind of animals were locked up down there before "boldly" setting a one-year deadline to close the facility. One anonymous government lawyer tells the Post ,"The entire civil service counseled him [Craig] not to set a deadline." Craig may have been wrong on this point, too.
The administration also blames the international community for being so uncooperative in the terrorist resettlement program. But then that one is also kind of Craig's fault. "They essentially snuck them in, and we were furious," a senior British official tells the Post in regard to the al Qaeda trained Uighurs now working at a Bermuda golf course. Our allies were inexplicably less cooperative after all that.
And then there's the American people, whose opposition to the administration's plans to for resettling detainees in suburban America oddly spiked as the spring wore on -- and as Dick Cheney pummeled the administration. "Senior adviser David Axelrod and deputy communications director Dan Pfeiffer were brought in to craft a more effective message around detainee policy," the Post reports. That happened in May -- no indication of whether it came before or after the decision to send Obama out for a head to head match up with the former vice president. Remember that speech? May 21, 2009, Obama at the National Archives and Dick Cheney at AEI going one after the other? At the time the press couldn't get enough of the mismatch storyline -- the popular new president against the loathed former VP.
The Post's report concludes with this: "In coming weeks, officials say, they expect to complete the initial review of all the files of those held at Guantanamo." They haven't even reviewed all the files yet! Marc Ambinder offers this delightful spin on twitter: "GTMO was messy, but it's gonna close, nearly on time. Obama thinks Craig did yoeman's work on GTMO. If there's a problem, it's not that." Right. Gitmo is going to close real soon -- and at no risk to national security -- just after Obama brings peace to the Middle East, adds 40 million uninsured to the system for not a penny more than you're paying today, talks the North Koreans and Iranians into abandoning the pursuit of nuclear weapons, and wins the war in Afghanistan after tying General McChrystal's hands behind his back.

Desperate to avoid disaster, several town leaders--including Alvin Duffy, the bank's new vice president--hatch a plan to print Darling Dollars on newspaperman Charlie Dickens' printing press. The 'funny money' can serve as temporary currency so the town can function. But when the first printing of the scrip disappears, the Darling Dahlias set out to discover who made an unauthorized withdrawal. Meanwhile County Treasurer Verna Tidwell questions whether she can trust Alvin Duffy--and the feelings he stirs up inside her.

The King's Speech Movie Review
Momentous historical events add a remarkable kick to this fascinating personal drama, which is based on journal entries and firsthand accounts. besides being hugely entertaining, the film also gives Colin Firth yet another meaty role to dive into.
In 1925, Bertie (Firth), the Duke of York, is paralysed with fear when required to speak in public. After unsuccessful treatment for his stammer, his wife Elizabeth (Bonham Carter) locates unorthodox speech therapist Lionel Logue (Rush), an Australian who insists on familiarity even with the royals. But as Bertie begins to make progress, his life takes a dramatic turn when his brother Edward VIII (Pearce) abdicates the throne, leaving Bertie in place as George VI just as war breaks out with Germany. Now the nation really needs to hear his voice.
The sharp, often very witty script has the ring of truth to it, refusing to overplay big events or to create some miracle cinematic cure that sees Bertie rising to inspiring orator status. Even though it's still extremely crowd-pleasing, it's a much more complex story centring on the man behind the stutter, exploring the intimate, difficult journey Bertie must have taken before he was so suddenly thrust into the limelight.
As with last year's A Single Man, Firth invests the role with layered subtext that gives Bertie a fully fledged inner life far beyond the astute screenplay.
It's a beautiful performance that tells us as much with a quiet sigh as it does with a razor-sharp line of dialog. His banter with the excellent Rush is also full of substance, while Bonham Carter not only uncannily captures the Queen Mother's physical presence but also the strength of the woman who, together with her husband, would so bravely lead Britain through the Blitz.
Visually, the film transcends the usual costume-drama approach, with expert direction from Hooper that beautifully plays with perspectives and textures.
Also notable is the way the camera quietly captures expansive backdrops that continually remind us (and Bertie) that there's a whole nation out there waiting for his next word. And along the way, we strongly identify with Bertie, which makes his journey takes both stirring and thrillingly inspiring.

Judge's retirement deal comes under fire
Nov 14 2014
But Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation President Michael Widmer says it "illustrates the all-too-common problem of stretching the system for personal gain at taxpayers' expense."
Judge profited, despite his absence from bench
Nov 13 2014
However, taxpayer watchdogs criticized Johnson's work this year as a waste of scarce resources. "Whatever the rationale in this particular case," said Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation president Michael Widmer, "it illustrates the all-too-common problem of stretching the system for personal gain at taxpayers' expense."
Mass. Taxpayers Foundation President Widmer to retire
May 28 2014
Beacon Hill politicians for years have touted Michael Widmer's stamp of approval as proof that their fiscal or policy proposals are meritorious. Now Widmer is poised to exit a stage where he has loomed large since the early 1990s.

Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation president to retire

Report: Unfunded liabilities digging deeper fiscal hole
Oct 18 2013

'Free service' retiree perk drawing fire

Widmer said the benefit "makes no sense whatsoever." "It is an exceedingly generous benefit to earn pension credit when you are not working or collecting a salary," Widmer said. "It makes no sense at all other than a sweetheart deal with the unions."
Broadside: Software tax protest in Mass.
Aug 15 2013
Michael Widmer of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation agrees that the tax is a disaster, and says it isn't surprising that no one is defending the tax. "Well, clearly there wasn't an understanding of the scope of this tax I think on the part of the legislative leadership, certainly not on the part of the members," Widmer says. Widmer says the tax is the most far-reaching of its kind in the nation. "It affects every industry in the state - not just software, that's bad enough - and basically taxes innovation, investments that companies need to make to stay competitive," he says.

Sonja was nut cupping me until I blew in her mouth.

Nut Cupping is what two online gaming guilds do together when they are outclassed. They call in friends because they are unable to reap what they've sewn by themselves.

Flyable Shuttles shouldnt count as ship slots.
I would like to propose the idea of making flyable shuttles equip into unique ship slots.
I think, they should not simply take up a normal ship slot as they do now. if they instead would be slotted, into a ships shuttle bay slot, then we could simply have only as many as our ship can physically fit into its shuttle bay. (I understand I'm talking about a virtual starship thingy here, but it would be more believable if it was realistically limited.)
if it worked this way now, whenever we do finally get the functioning shuttle bays. it will be a way for us to feel like we are getting adequately rewarded for grinding to a new level by also earning more flyable shuttle types to use as well.
Soon they will not count, or I think they wont count. I know we will be able to switch to a shuttle from our shuttle bay inside our ships. So I assume they wont count as a ship slot at that point. *Hope*
