NBA Draft 2012 Grades: Detroit Pistons and Teams That Got Lucky
The Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors all experienced a fair amount of luck in the 2012 NBA Draft, and because of that, they'll be coming away with top grades.
If it really is better to be lucky than good, then these three teams hit the jackpot at the draft because of the players that fell to them.
Let's take a look at the great draft each of these teams had and break down what the picks should bring to the team in the future.
Detroit Pistons:
Considering what the Pistons need at this point in their rebuilding process, having a player like Andre Drummond fall to them at No. 9 overall was the best-case scenario. All Joe Dumars and company had to do was make the pick, smile and think about the future.
The Pistons need a big center they can put at the 5 next to Greg Monroe and Drummond fits the bill perfectly. He's 6'10", 270 pounds, and I wouldn't be shocked if he continued to develop, as he's only 18 years old. He didn't have the best year at UConn—scoring only 10.2 points per game and grabbing only 7.7 rebounds per game—but he's athletic, has great size and he has the potential to be a franchise center for Detroit.
If he develops according to plan, this would allow Monroe more freedom in the paint offensively and it would provide him with much-needed help-side defense near the rim.
In the second round, Detroit came away with Texas A&M forward Khris Middleton—13.2 points, 5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in 2011—and Missouri guard Kim English, who scored 14.9 points and notched 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
The Pistons potentially drafted their franchise center and got two talented young players in Round 2.
They may have gotten a bit lucky with Drummond falling to them, but either way, they snagged a top-notch draft grade.
Grade: A
The Boston Celtics are at the start of their own retooling phase and they got extremely lucky with the two players that fell to them late in the first round.
Kevin Garnett doesn't have many years left in his career (even though a report just came out saying that he's returning) and the importance of building from down low can't be overstated. Celtics fans have to be ecstatic that their team was able to snag both Jared Sullinger and Fab Melo.
While Sullinger did come with a red flag, he also possesses a ton of potential to be a solid 4 in the right system. I dare say the Celtics have a good system and coach in place to lead him to success, so the C's are lucky they were able to steal him at No. 21.
They could say the same for Melo, who they snagged just a pick later. He's 7'0", 255 pounds, and we all know that you cannot teach size in the NBA. Considering the Celtics are looking to retool instead of rebuild, getting a young big man like Fab Melo makes them incredibly lucky.
Add in fellow Syracuse Orange Kris Joseph—who notched 13.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in 2011—at pick 21 in the second round and it's easy to say the Celtics passed this draft with playing colors.
Grade: A
There's no doubting Golden State has a lot of needs. There's also no doubting that it may be the luckiest team in the draft.
North Carolina forward Harrison Barnes fell to the Warriors at No. 7. He's an extremely talented player that notched 17.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game for the Tar Heels in 2011, and I had him going a few picks higher in my mock.
He's a top-five pick in my book, so the Warriors were extremely lucky that the draft played out the way it did. Barnes is a guy who can be effective down low, but he can also be dangerous on the wings with his athleticism. He'll be an effective starter in this league and could be a star for the Warriors.
Golden State continued its good luck with post players with the last pick of Round 1 by picking up Vanderbilt center Festus Ezeli, who comes in at 6'11″, 255 pounds. With pick No. 22 in Round 2, 7'0" center from Bosnia, Ognjen Kuzmic.
The Warriors may have really stolen the show with their fifth pick in the draft, though, where they were extremely lucky to draft Michigan State small forward Draymond Green. Green was a borderline first-round player heading into the draft and there's no doubting that he has the intangibles every growing team looks for.
At 6'7", 230 pounds, he's big enough to go down low, but he has the talent to be a perimeter player and can handle the ball. This makes him quite the mismatch if utilized well, and he was also the leader of a very talented Michigan State team. He can be a leader and a very dangerous player coming off the Warriors bench, so they were lucky to snag him in Round 2.
Grade: A+

Email Michael to talk about hockey.
Aeros defenseman Maxim Noreau has made the AHL All-Star Game for the second year in a row. He's the second-leading scorer in Houston. The game is Jan. 31 in Hershey.
Also, did my All-Star fantasy draft on 1500 ESPN today: I got Steven Stamkos, Rick Nash, Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Brad Richards, Eric Staal, Dustin Byfuglien, Dan Boyle,Shea Weber, Zdeno Chara Marc-Andrew Fleury and Tim Thomas.
Mackey and Reusse got Evgeni Malkin, Alex Ovechkin, Phil Kessel, Patrick Kane, Jarome Iginla, David Backes, Marc Staal, Nick Lidstrom, Mike Green, Brent Burns, Jonas Hiller, Cam Ward.
We didn't pick Crosby and Toews because I'm assuming they'll be the captains picking the teams Jan. 28. If it's not Toews, I'm gonna be ticked because I essentially allowed them to take Ovechkin with the first pick!!! And of course, I forgot Letang and Keith were voted in as starters, or I would have taken them.
It was great radio.
The Predators have won five in a row, starting with the New Year's Eve win over the Wild. Pekka Rinne gets the cage tonight. He's given up a goal a game the last four starts.
Antti Miettinen, who missed the past four games with a charleyhorse, then stomach bug, is walking fine, skating fine and will return to the lineup tonight. Chuck Kobasew will be drop down and Miettinen will return to his normal right wing spot next to Brunette and Mikko Koivu.
Same 6 D. Jose Theodore in the nets. Richards said he hasn't made the decision which forward comes out for Miettinen. He said he may want Brad Staubitz to play against the Predators, so if that's the case, Patrick O'Sullivan will probably be removed.
Niklas Backstrom is being seen today by Marc Philippon in Vail. The hip specialist will then report back to GM Chuck Fletcher in the next day or so.
One linesman change for tonight because Dan Schachte couldn't make it in due to the snowy weather in the southeast.
Brent Burns was super excited and super nervous about his All-Star Game nod. He doesn't know what to expect because it's new to him, and he's especially nervous about the backyard-like fantasy draft to get chosen for teams.
He joked that he was also nervous because "Hammer (defense partner Nick Schultz)" wouldn't be there to "bail me out all the time."
"I know it's going to be a fun weekend, for not only me, but my family. It's cool," Burns said. "It's going to be fun."
He said he's going to limit his dad to a couple autographs a player: "My parents are super-excited. ... Getting to bring my daughter, she probably won't remember, but it'll be fun to get some cool pictures with her there."
He joked that his wife, Susan, "isn't a real hockey wife. She doesn't really get it. She wanted to go to Mexico."
Burns always jokes that his wife will say, "Good game when I'm minus-3."

NASHVILLE — Head coach Derek Dooley says it was a unique arrangement that salvaged his first season at Tennessee.
The Vols completed their second day of practice here at Vanderbilt on Monday and Dooley was asked after the two-hour workout to describe his team after one year at the helm. Was there a particular characteristic he could use to label the UT squad preparing to face North Carolina in Thursday's Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl?
"What makes this team unique to any other team I've been around is you have this core group of seniors and then a whole bunch of young ones," Dooley said. "There's not a lot in the middle."
Dooley said all season long the coaching staff has relied on the strength of this year's senior class. The 15-member unit didn't produce a large number of postseason all-star recipients but did lay the groundwork for stability that should pay dividends in the near future.
Especially important were the lessons passed on to Tennessee's talented underclassmen.
"That requires a lot of teamwork between old guys and young guys, and that's not always easy," Dooley said. "Because the old guys have been around, they know what it takes and their last year is important to them. The young guys are new, they don't really know what it takes, and they are going to do things that frustrate the old guys. Some of the young guys don't always understand the old guys.
"I think more than anything, the ability of our young and old to work together and play together is what ultimately got us to the bowl game. It was a job well done by those old guys."
Tennessee won its last four games to rally from a 2-6 record at the end of October.
Among those making a difference down the stretch, senior receivers Gerald Jones, Denarius Moore and tight end Luke Stocker made life easier for freshman quarterback Tyler Bray. Jarrod Shaw started all 12 games amid a chorus of first-year offensive linemen. Defensive ends Chris Walker and Gerald Williams held together an inexperienced front line, while Nick Reveiz and LaMarcus Thompson were vital at the linebacker position.
"I saw how important (finishing strong) was to those guys in November," Dooley said. "Just the way they played, competed and approached every day, you knew it was important that they leave out of here on a good note. If we can go out, play well and get a victory, you have accomplished some things. A bowl championship, winning season and it's something to be proud of."
Reaching this bowl game also was an important first step for Dooley's revitalization efforts.
"It means a lot when you were 2-6," Dooley said. "Certainly as the years go on, we want to keep improving our position in the bowl lineup. But I think it's a great accomplishment for this team and what they did in November. I think they earned it and, hopefully, they will go out and put on a good show for the fans."
Kickoff Thursday from sold out LP Field is set for 5:30 p.m. Central time, with the Vol Network and ESPN carrying the action.
Teams handle
layoff differently
Dooley said the time off between the regular season and bowl season causes lots of uncertainty when trying to get a feel for if a team is ready to play or not.
"I think it's very difficult, and you always worry about how sharp you will be. You worry about losing your fundamentals — tackling and blocking. And then you also worry about the psyche of the team, because it is a lot of time off and you've got to be playing for something.
"If you don't have a big disparity in talent, then it's who managed that time off the best. You have to have a good combination of relaxing and having fun, but also keeping your focus on the game. It's important to learn how to manage all the (bowl) events to where it's not so distracting that you lose sight of why you are here."
Dooley says it's great to feel good after a bowl win, but that the bowl game's result doesn't necessarily carry over into next season.
"I know the seniors want to end with a win and I think it's important that these young guys make their mark a little bit going forward.
"It's an important game, but like most games it's not the end of the world if you don't do it well. And if you do it well, it doesn't mean you're going to roll and win them all next year. It's just the next game and everybody will feel good if we win."
The Volunteers have their final full practice today before staging a brief walk-through on Wednesday.
Elzy will not play
for Tar Heels
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina says running back Anthony Elzy will not play in the Music City Bowl.
The team said in a statement Monday that Elzy did not travel with the Tar Heels to Nashville, Tenn., after failing to meet his obligations as a student-athlete at the school.
Elzy replaced Johnny White in the starting lineup for the final three games for North Carolina and rushed for a career-high 118 yards in the finale against Duke.
The Tar Heels face Tennessee in the Music City Bowl on Thursday.

I posted this in Brake Time, but haven't gotten any feedback.
Is the right kit to fix my floppy Elixir CR levers?
Avid PNO 11.5015.023.000 (BR6831)
The 2011 Avid catalog says that PNO 11.5015.064.020 is for Lever Internals/Service Kit Elixir CR/R/5 but I can't find anyone selling this part number. Plenty of places selling the 11.5015.023.000 though.
I've also found these in the 2009 catalog:
Avid PNO 11.5015.025.000 Elixir Lever Internals Kit
According to the Avid catalog page (see below), some of the parts in 11.5015.023.000 (Item 3) are found in 11.5015.025.000 (Item 4) and vice versa, but neither contain all the lever internals..so I don't know which kit to get.
Obvioulsy I'll need two each of whatever the right kit is...

Cramer on the Markets
The last time the S&P and other averages were at this level, the U.S. economy was about to crash, Jim Cramer said, but not this time. He says we are just getting started with the potential for even more growth once real estate rebounds.
"It was all wrong and the wrong stocks were leading us. First, commodities plays, nothing really anti-inflation was winning. The second thing was when we got back in, when we got to this last level of Nasdaq, 11 years ago, it was all terrible companies that were very highly valued with very high multiples. Now we're in very low multiples with really great balance sheets and companies that have multi-year prospects that are very lean because they fired a lot of people," Cramer said.
But despite companies with stronger balance sheets and lower multiples, enthusiasm has lagged, as stocks trade with lower volume."There are a lot of perceptions that have occurred in the last four or five years. One is that our economy doesn't really matter that much, it's about China. We're a huge economy. And the second is that the consumer is never going to come back and that's represented by housing and retail sales. Retail sales yesterday, I heard people pick apart the retail sales. They were great, don't pick them apart," Cramer said. Earnings, he said, will remain strong as the economy rebounds. In this low interest rate environment, he said earnings are cheap compared to bonds. "Look at all the 5% yielders, the 4% yielders, the 3% yielders . Recognize that those are better than what you are getting in your bond funds and realize the earnings are going to be pretty good because our economy is getting better," Cramer said. If housing does bottom and construction begins in commercial and residential real estate turns around, Cramer said the economy will boom. "We are not anywhere near, we are 50% below where we were the last time we were at these averages. There's a lot of runway. That's the way I want to look at it. There's a lot of runway," Cramer said.

A method is proposed for determining the perfusion by evaluation of the light emitted by at least one light source and influenced by the arterial blood, by use of optical measuring means which measure the intensity variation as a consequence of the variation in arterial blood volume. According to this method, the perfusion is either displayed as variation in thickness from the sum of the parallel tissue enlargements d or as normalized volume. The perfusion is derived by one or more measurements of light intensity. According to the invention, for the first time a method for determining perfusion as a quantitative value is provided.
1. A method for determining the perfusion of blood in a body member comprising:
passing light having the isobestic wavelength through a member of the body,
measuring the variation, in intensity, ΔI, of light emerging from said body member due to arterial blood volume variation, and
deriving from ΔI one of the variations in thickness, Δd/d, of the body member or the variation in volume ΔV/V.
2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the light intensity variation (ΔI) is converted into a current variation by optoelectronic means and is determined as relative variation in current (ΔI/Imax), and that the perfusion thickness Δd or the normalized perfusion ΔV/V is determined by a substitution of the known determined quantities in: ##EQU5## ΔI/Imax being the relative variation in intensity at the isobestic wavelength λi, c1 to cn being the molecular concentrations of hemoglobin, oxihemoglobin or other substances,
E1i to Eni being the extinction coefficients for hemoglobin, oxihemoglobin or other substances at wavelength λi.
3. A method according to claim 2 characterized in that measurements of the relative intensity variation (ΔI/Imax) are carried out at a number of different wavelengths and that these measurements are used to determine a corresponding number of unknown equation parameters such as hemoglobin concentration, oxygen saturation and perfusion.
4. A method for determining the perfusion of blood in a body member comprising:
passing light, of two different wavelengths which both differ from the isobestic wavelength, through a member of the body;
measuring the variation in intensity, ΔI, of light emerging from said body member due to arterial blood volume variation; and
deriving from ΔI one of the variations in thickness, Δd/d, of the body member or the variation in volume ΔV/V.
The pulsation of arterial blood causes a pulsating volume variation of the arteries. If light emitted by a light source is transmitted through a part of the body being supplied with blood, the light is attenuated in dependence on the pulsation. The resulting variation in intensity of the light received by means of a sensor may, for example, be used for the determination of oxygen saturation of blood. The correlation between light absorption in the tissue and the composition and the thickness of the tissue through which the light passes is provided by Lambert-Beer's Law, and detection of scattering effects is provided by its modifications.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,109,643 discloses an apparatus for measuring the perfusion employing a light emitting diode for a measurement in the region of the fingertip. For this purpose, the light emitting diode is mounted on one side of a finger cap, and photo sensitive sensor is mounted on the opposite side. In this known apparatus, a change of the perfusion trend can be detected by means of electronic evaluation means, but no details may be obtained about the percentage volume change of the arterial blood upon a pulsation. As normal perfusion is not available before operations --e.g. caused by a shock condition of the patient, no exact statement may be provided about the condition of the patient during the operation by way of measuring the change in perfusion. A measurement of the change in perfusion is only useful if a correct reference value for the patient could be established before disturbance of perfusion occurred. In addition, measurement of perfusion may physiologically be used as an indication of the stress condition of a patient.
In accordance with the present invention means and method are provided for determining the amount of perfusion. The volume variation of the arterial blood is accompanied by various small variations in thickness so that the parts of the equation containing a variation in thickness of higher order may be ignored. Therefore, the approximate result is that the volume variation (referred to the measurement volume) corresponds to approximately three times the thickness variation of the medium total cross-section of the arterial vessels (referred to the thickness of the measurement volume supplied with blood). As light absorption is not only dependent on the volume of the tissue supplied with blood, but also on the concentration of the light-absorbing components of the blood, for example the concentration of hemoglobin or oxihemoglobin, the concentration of these components has to be determined in advance in known manner by measurement of the oxygen saturation so that the perfusion can be determined by light absorption by means for measuring at a single wavelength. There is also the possibility of eliminating oxygen saturation as an unknown quantity arithmetically by multiple measurements using different wavelengths.
By multiple measurements, further parameters of the underlying equation may be determined or eliminated. For example, by measurements at three different wavelengths the hemoglobin concentration, the oxygen saturation and the perfusion can be determined. Alternatively, the hemoglobin concentration may be assumed approximately as 140 g/l�8,7 mMol/l for women and as 160 g/l�9,94 mMol/l for men. In newborns, the hemoglobin concentration is 200 g/l�12,42 mMol/l on an average.
FIG. 1 shows a measurement cap put on a fingertip and comprising two light-emitting diodes and a photo receiver;
FIG. 2 shows the basic structure of a tissue with arteries and veins running through it;
FIG. 3 shows part of a tissue being irradiated with light which partially transmits said tissue and partially is reflected by the same;
FIG. 4 shows the current variation occurring at the photo receiver and being influenced by the pulsation of the arterial blood;
FIG. 5 shows the extinction coefficient for different oxygen saturations in dependence of the wavelength of the irradiated light;
FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of an apparatus for measuring the perfusion; and
FIG. 7 shows the analogous receiver electronics for the optical measurement apparatus used in FIG. 6.
According to FIG. 1, a measurement cap 1 comprising two light emitting diodes 2, 3 and a photo receiver 4 is put over a fingertip 5. The arteries 7 and veins 8 running through tissue 6 are indicated schematically by dotted lines. Between arteries 7 and veins 8, capillaries 9 are located. These capillaries have pressure-reducing characteristics so that a pulsation and an associated pulse-dependent volume variation occurs only in the artery 7.
Light emitting diodes 2, 3 emit light of different wavelengths, e.g. 660 nm and 950 nm, to photo receiver 4. Photo receiver 4 converts the received light into a current signal as illustrated in FIG. 4. The current signal is evaluated by evaluation means as exemplarily shown in FIG. 6 to determine the perfusion.
FIG. 2 shows the structure of a part of tissue supplied with blood. Blood flows in through artery 7 and reaches--via capillaries 9 and cells--vein 8 by means of which vein it flows away.
If a part of tissue supplied with blood is irradiated by a light source, the light is subject to absorption in the tissue, said absorption being dependent--in first approximation--on the molecular extinction coefficient E, the concentration c of the dissolved dye and the thickness d of the transmitted layer.
FIG. 3 depicts part of a tissue 10 being irradiated by light corresponding to current ILED, the tissue thereby causing a reflection or a transmission with the intensity
IGEW =ILED x e -Ecd (1),
I.sub. GEW being the intensity after the absorber at the detector,
ILED being the intensity before the or without absorber,
E being the molecular extinction coefficient,
E (λ) [1 /Mol x cm]
c being the molecular concentration of the absorbing
substance [Mol/l]
d being the thickness of the absorber [cm]
Equation (1) is Lambert-Beer's Law. For strict validity, parallel monochromatic light with an optically homogenous absorber is required. The real composition of a part of the body supplied with blood (e.g. a fingertip) requires, for example, for the light absorption of the blood that the discrete blood corpuscles be taken into consideration as scattering centers. Therefore, for more accurate reflection, the diffusion of light quantum has to be taken into consideration so that instead of the extinction being a constant quantity it has an effective value of Eeff (λ, CHb, CHb02. . . ) for given wavelengths. The effective extinction depends on other factors such as the hemoglobin concentration.
For the purpose of simplifying the description, equation (1) is assumed to be valid.
For the overall tissue absorption, the following separation in a time-dependent component and a time-independent component is valid for a part of the body supplied with blood in a pulsating manner, corresponding to the principle of pulse oximetry:
Ecd =EHb x cHb x Δd(t) +EHb02 x cHb02 x Δd(t) +EN x cN x dN (2),
EHb02 x cHb02 x d(t) being the time-dependent component of oxihemoglobin,
Δd(t) is the medium overall cross-sectional enlargement of the arterial vessels, and
EN x cN x dN is the time-independent absorption of the remaining part of the body.
For the time-independent component of the intensity at the detector in the form of a photo receiver, the following equation is deduced:
Imax =ILED x e-E N x c N x d N (3)
and for the time-dependent, pulsating component:
I(t)=Imax-IGEW =Imax(1-e- (E Hbx c Hb+E Hb02x c Hb02) xΔd(t)) (4)
A generalization of equation (4) leads for a blood composition consisting of n optically active components to
ln (1-ΔI/Imax/λi)=-(Eli x cl +E2i x c2 +Eni x cn)Δd (5)
Eni being the molecular extinction coefficient of the absorber n upon wavelengthλi,
cn being the molecular concentration of the absorber n in the pulsating volume,
Δd being the medium overall cross-sectional enlargement of the arterial vessels.
For small variations in intensity, the following equation is approximately valid:
ΔI/Imax�ln (1--ΔI/Imax for ΔI <<Imax (6)
i.e ΔI/Imax is in proportion to the medium overall cross-sectional enlargement Δd and therefore to the perfusion thickness Δd.
Corresponding to the number of unknown quantities in equation (5), a set of equations is defineable with the corresponding number of measuring values with wave lengths λi.
In the case of a two-wavelength system, for instance oxygen saturation can be determined as ##EQU1## being the overall hemoglobin concentration.
As a further quantity, the perfusion thickness Δd may be determined. If the hemoglobin concentration can be assumed or is known or can be determined by a third wavelength. ##EQU2##
If we choose an isobestic point EHb =EHb02, a single measurement value ΔI/Imax is sufficient to determine the perfusion.
The term "isobestic point" refers to the wavelength at which the extinction coefficient of haemoglobin and un-oxygenated haemoglobin are equal. This point occurs at approximately 800 nm and is illustrated in FIG. 5, as the point of intersection between the oxygenated and un-oxygenated haemoglobin curves.
The measurement values ΔI/Imax(1) =0,06 and ΔI/Imax(2) =0,1
yield for the perfusion thickness
Δd =0,046 cm.
Another possible definition of the perfusion is the relative volume variation ΔV/V,ΔV corresponding to the blood volume variation per pulsation and V corresponding to the assigned measurement volume between light source and detector. If the variation in perfusion thickness is Δd <<d, d corresponding to the overall absorber thickness (e.g. the finger), we obtain--assuming generally regular enlargement--
(Vmax - V)/V =ΔV/V�3 Δd/d for Δd <<d (9)
The thickness of a finger is 1 cm on an average; therefore, equation (9) is sufficiently met.
Equation (3) may be used to determine d if EN x cN and ILED are known. ##EQU3##
The difference, EN x cN (1)-EN x cN (2) once determined for a constant absorber thickness dN remains largely constant for largely homogenous organ composition (e.g. the ear lobe). The same applies to the valuesα1 and α2 once determined from the current/light intensity characteristics and e.g. determined without absorber.
In the case of a point-like light source, in particular when measuring at the fingertip, we obtain with the light intensities ILED and Imax, respectively, for the distance dN as a first-order approximation ##EQU4## in which equation k is determined from the current/light intensity characteristics, which once determined can approximately be regarded as a constant.
Using equations (10) and (11), respectively, the thickness d of the part of the body supplied with blood may also be continuously measured. This may also be used as an indication for correct sensor positioning. Finally, the perfusion according to equation (9) may be determined as a normalized value of blood volume variation per pulsation at the corresponding part of the body.
In the above example, dN =1 cm yields
The block diagram (FIG. 6) depicts the optical measuring means 11, the photo receiver 4 of said means being connected with an evaluation circuit 12. By way of an example, light source 13 could be carried out in the form of three light-emitting diodes of different wavelengths, said diodes being operated by an LED-control circuit 14. Evaluation circuit 12 and LED-control circuit 14 are connected with a computer 15 and among each other.
The signal received by photo receiver 4 is fed to a sample and hold circuit 17 via a pre-amplifier 16, the intensities associated to the different wavelengths being temporarily stored in said sample and hold circuit. A consecutive differential circuit 18 provides subtraction of values of darkness to eliminate environmental light. A further circuit 19 provides offset subtraction for the different wavelengths. The signals processed in such a way reach computer 15, said computer determining the normalized perfusion ΔV/V therefrom.
LED-control circuit 14 contains in particular driver circuits 20 associated with the various light emitting diodes of light source 13 and being controlled by a first stage circuit 21 which is controlled by computer 15. A central clock circuit (not explicitly shown in FIG. 6) provides clock-synchronous operation of controlling and evaluation.
The part shown in FIG. 7 depicts evaluation circuit 12 in detail. A photo diode PD serves as photo receiver 4, said photo diode being operated with a bias voltage UV. The signal of the photo diode is fed to switches S1 to S3 via pre-amplifier 16, said switches being operated at their control inputs 22 to 2 by the LED-control circuit. Switches S1 to S3 are connected with the positive inputs of three operational amplifiers 01 to 03. Circuit 18--used for the subtraction of the value of darkness--contains two differential amplifiers V1, V2, the outputs of these differential amplifiers being connected with further differential amplifiers V3, V4 of circuit 19. The evaluation circuit is connected with computer 15 via low-pass filters T1, T2.
The method according to the invention is not only suited for the determination of perfusion, but it can--for example--also be used as a stress indicator or for the indication of the sensor positions.

Flickr Will Absolutely Annihilate Instagram
I don't know about that. But I do know she crushed it here. Big time, heavy duty. And, the more I think about it, there's really no need to partner with Twitter.
Mayer appears to be setting Yahoo! up to stand on its own as a "daily habit" (her words) or one-stop shop (my words) for all things social. The stuff that's on Yahoo! now and has been for years -- the stuff most of us use everyday -- is inherently social.
Expect Mayer to partner where she needs to, but ultimately compete with Facebook and Twitter. Yahoo! has what it takes to make that happen. If the reborn Flickr foreshadows the future of a Marissa Mayer-led Yahoo!, more companies than the wholly social animals ought to look the bleep out.

Have any of you guys got this working for your email accounts?
I'm wondering whether there is an issue with the fact that I have a restriction on staff not being able to email staff. My thoughts on the configuration were that the app would use the sender account ( I created one specifically for the aupinformant) to send the detail to whoever was specified as the recipient. At present this is not working for me.
Looks as though it is the perfect solution for the task. Pity we cannot prevent the person who declines the policy from accessing the internet on the fly.

Charley Varrick
Description: Don Siegel directed this offbeat crime thriller which stars Walter Matthau as the titular Charley Varrick. Varrick is a small-time stick-up man who, in tandem with his partner Harman Sullivan (Andrew Robinson), makes plans to rob a small bank in New Mexico. Varrick and Sullivan are expecting a modest payday for a simple heist, but to their surprise they walk away with $750,000 in cash. But it turns out this isn't entirely good news; the bank was flush with cash because a number of well-connected Mafia chieftains have been using the bank to launder their ill-gotten gains, and they're determined to get their money back. Before Varrick can figure out a way to return the money, sadistic hired killer Molly (Joe Don Baker) is on his trail, forcing Varrick to outwit both the cops and the robbers if he is to stay alive. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Geeta Phogat is the first Indian woman wrestler in the Olympics
Sushil Kumar's bronze in the Beijing Olympics was not India's maiden wrestling medal from the Games. Yet, coming after 56 years of K.D. Jadhav's feat in the Helsinki Olympics, the piece of bronze had enough magical charm to give a major fillip to the traditional sport.
Sushil's moment of Olympic glory, followed by his world championship title in 2010, gave every wrestler in the country a dream to chase. The huge success of the grapplers who gathered 19 medals, including 10 gold, in the Delhi Commonwealth Games was a reflection of this enthusiasm.
The National federation might not have been able to make the most of the success on the mat, but that did not stop the talented wrestlers from expressing themselves in the trade best known to them.
Millions of Indians will pin their hopes on Sushil getting another medal from the Olympics. He may have toiled hard to earn a ticket to his third Olympics in a row, but Sushil is an experienced athlete who knows that ups and downs make the journey of a sportsperson memorable.
That is the reason why the coaches sound highly confident about the 29-year-old. "Sushil is much better prepared this time. He is world-class and he knows his opponents well," said coach Vinod Kumar recently.
Sushil, after overcoming injury and fitness-related issues, again stands as one of the front-runners for an Olympic medal in an Indian squad of five including one woman competitor. "Sushil has rectified his shortcomings and is fully ready," added Vinod.
The 66kg freestyle grappler may face tough challenge from the likes of defending champion Sahin Ramazan of Turkey, reigning world champion Mehdi Tagari of Iran and silver medallist Tatsuhiro Yonemitsu from Japan.
Solid comeback
The other strong medal contender in the Indian team is two-time Asian champion Yogeshwar Dutt, another wrestler who is set to make his third Olympics appearance. The Beijing Games had disappointment in store for Yogeshwar as he had lost to Japanese Kenichi Yumoto in the quarterfinals.
Thanks to the support from the Mittal Champions Trust (MCT), Yogeshwar overcame a frustrating injury to stage a solid comeback this year after a long layoff.
"I have studied my main rivals and am fully prepared. I have to forget the past and look ahead," said the 29-year-old who will compete in the 60kg division.
Apart from Yumoto, current World champion Besik Kudukhov from Russia, silver medallist Franklin Gomez from Puerto Rico and 2008 Olympic silver winner Vasyl Fedoryshyn of Ukraine will be some of the prominent adversaries for Yogeshwar in London.
"Both Sushil and Yogeshwar have a lot of international experience and this will benefit them," noted another coach Yashvir Singh.
Amit has self-belief
The surprise package from the Indian squad will be Amit Kumar. The 19-year-old, who won the 55kg gold medal in the Asian qualifying eventin Astana to make it to the Olympics, is loaded with self-belief.
"I have no pressure. I know how it feels to participate in an international event," he says."Amit is a fine performer. Even though he is young, we expect good result from him," said Vinod.
Commonwealth Games winner Narsingh Yadav, who qualified in the last qualifying event in Helsinki, is ready to live his dream of taking part in the Olympics.
However, Narsingh (74kg) will have to prove that he is capable of performing consistently at the highest level.
"He finds it difficult to control his weight. Sometimes, that affects his performance," said Yashvir.
Phogat ready
Commonwealth Games gold winner Geeta Phogat, who bagged the 55kg title in the qualifying event in Astana, is the first Indian woman wrestler to have qualified for the Olympics.
"After my qualification, my father had advised me to try and excel in the Games. I am hopeful of fulfilling his wish," said 23-year-old Geeta.
"I have seen videos of the wrestlers who have qualified in my weight. I think I can match them," she said.
However, Geeta will have an uphill task in her weight class. Leading opponents in the 55kg will include defending champion and current world title holder Saori Yoshida of Japan and two-time Olympic medallist Tonya Verbeek of Canada.

Healing and intuition are in Tamara's blood. Her family tree is rife with psychics and empaths, and she channels those genetic talents in her work at Reiki at the Ranch. As a medium, she doles out clarity and closure, and as an animal communicator, she soothes troubled critters. In addition to practicing energy work such as reiki on humans and horses alike, she administers hypnosis to help her clients lose weight, overcome addiction, and fully ignore clock pendulums.
Specialists at Northwest Anti-Aging & Wellness Center administer holistic health care and careful aesthetic treatments within a suite of four pristine treatment rooms. Twenty units of Botox smooth out wrinkles through a sequence of muscle-firming injections that counteract the effects of loose skin and over-long Brian Dennehy-impersonations. Alternatively, the painless VI-Peel treatment softens lines and wrinkles with a carefully concocted chemical solution, improving skin tone and texture. Each treatment takes roughly 20 minutes, during which the caring staff will put you at ease by answering any questions that arise or by playfully tickling you with a wisp of raccoon fur.
At Acupuncture by Kim, licensed massage practitioner Kristin Taylor melts muscle knots with therapeutic strokes and eases stress with calming skin and body treatments. Kristin offers her signature massage in 40-, 60-, and 90-minute increments, relaxing clients with soft, flowing strokes and the gentle touch of cranial-sacral therapy. Ideal for clients battling the aches of fibromyalgia, TMJ, or migraine headaches, the delicate headwork Kristin performs during the cranial-sacral segment can enhance clients' quality of life by boosting joint flexibility, dampening anxiety, and dissolving undigested popsicles. The skilled massage therapist also partners with other alternative health practitioners such as licensed acupuncturist Kim Blaufuss to help clients fight chronic pain with a holistic repertoire of services. In addition to enjoying massages in the studio, clients may purchase tools such as flaxseed hot packs and still-point inducers to tame tension at home.
When Bodhi Tree Yoga Studio owner Krista Risner first attempted yoga exercises along with a DVD, she wasn't impressed. The workout didn't seem strenuous or fruitful. But once she summoned the courage to visit a studio, she was struck by yoga's effect on not only the body but also the mind. Now a staunch devotee, she and her staff of instructors teach yogis of all experience levels how to become better attuned to their bodies and minds through flowing postures and breathing exercises.

XenoPort Reports Fourth Quarter And Year-End 2012 Financial Results
XenoPort Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2012 Financial Results
Revenues for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 were $0.5 million and $21.6 million, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $43.5 million for the same periods in 2011. The decrease in revenues for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 were primarily due to the receipt and recognition of a $5.0 million milestone payment associated with the acceptance of the supplemental NDA for the management of PHN in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a $30.0 million contingent payment associated with the first commercial sale of Horizant in the United States in the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by the receipt and recognition of a $10.0 million milestone payment for the approval of Regnite® (gabapentin enacarbil) Extended-Release Tablets for RLS in Japan in the first quarter of 2012 and a $10.0 million contingent payment associated with the approval of Horizant for the management of PHN in the second quarter of 2012. Net sales for Horizant for the fourth quarter and year ended 2012 as recorded by GSK were $2.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $10.6 million, compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2012 was primarily due to decreased personnel costs resulting primarily from decreased headcount and decreased development activities for XP21279. Research and development expenses for 2012 were $42.9 million, compared to $43.8 million for 2011. The decrease in research and development expenses for 2012 compared to 2011 was principally due to decreased net costs for XP21279, partially offset by increased net costs for AP and XP23829 development activities.

(Updates with second financing hearing in third paragraph.)
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Real Mex Restaurants Inc., owner of the Mexican restaurant chains Chevys, El Torito and Acapulco, won court approval to borrow as much as $25 million to help fund operations while in bankruptcy.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brendan Linehan Shannon at a hearing today in Wilmington, Delaware, granted Real Mex permission to borrow the funds on an interim basis. Shannon agreed with the company over creditor objections, saying it faces "significant cash need" to avoid immediate harm to the business and that superior financing isn't available.
Real Mex will seek approval from Shannon to borrow an additional $24 million from the total $49 million loan at a hearing scheduled for Nov. 3.
The Cypress, California-based company, with 178 restaurants, listed assets of about $272.2 million and debt of about $250 million in court documents filed yesterday. Sun Capital Partners Inc., the owner of restaurant chain "Friendly's," which sought bankruptcy protection today, owns about 72 percent of Real Mex's parent, which also filed for bankruptcy.
Real Mex, the largest full service casual dining Mexican restaurant chain operator in the U.S., said the slumping economy, which led to a decline in sales, forced it to seek bankruptcy protection. Sales fell to $478 million in 2010 from about $553 million in 2008, Chief Financial Officer Richard P. Dutkiewicz said in court papers.
Japan, Turkey
The company, which has about 11,000 employees, has restaurants in a dozen states from New York to California, as well as in Japan and Turkey.
Real Mex owes about $37.6 million to General Electric Capital Corp. as the agent for lenders with a first priority of repayment, court papers show. Members of the lender group are providing the bankruptcy financing.
The company owes about $134.3 million on senior secured notes with a secondary priority of repayment, according to court filings. Affiliates of Z Capital Management LLC, which objected to the bankruptcy loan, hold more than 70 percent of an unsecured loan of about $36 million. Real Mex's parent owes about $38 million on another unsecured loan.
Real Mex will seek court permission to pursue a sale of substantially all its assets, and has been working with the noteholders to secure a lead bid that would set a floor for an auction, according to court filings.
The company has proposed a timeline that would require bids by Jan. 4 for a Jan. 9 auction, followed by a Jan. 13 hearing to seek approval of the sale, court papers show.
The case is In re Real Mex Restaurants Inc., 11-13122, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).

While in Vegas at the Mac Pro store the SA turned me on to this. I always thought it would be too pink for me but since I had time to kill and they weren't busy she did a full face for me using this blush and it's gorgeous! I bought it and it has become my HG color for the time being! I'm NW20 for reference. It looks fabulous with a nude lip or add a little color (Del Rio) to the lip and it works beautifully also! Love love Blushbaby!!

Exactly what was said below: not a "WOW" blush, but definitely not a disappointment. It does take a few swipes of blush to get this to show up on my face, though. I'm a NC37, making we very light, and I always have a problem with "Blushbaby" showing up on my skin. It's always too much or too little, but these are simple fixes anyway. I love it, nonetheless, and I would buy it again!

Well, this is a My Blush But Better product. It is kind of the shade of what my freckles are, oddly enough. I don't ever use it alone, however. Instead, I use it with Pink Swoon. I put a large swatch of Blushbaby across my cheekbone, and, for my face, I pull the color up around to form a C around my eye per a tutorial by EnKore on youtube. Then, I put the Pink Swoon blush by MAC just on the apples. It really makes my face wake up. Lasts about 4 hours. Does not break my skin out - - NARS blushes do make my pores clog. Other loves - Chantecaille Thrill and Chanel Tweed Coral.
For reference, I am NC25ish.

I love this stuff. This is a perfect blush. I has a very natural colour, subtle pink-brown, no orange tone. It works with almost everything.
The texture itself is also great, very soft and blends well. I love MAC Sheertone blush range.

so i went to the mac counter the other day, and they put this blush on me. at first, ithought it was too neutral, sheer, and dull colored, since i usually go for the berry colored blushes, or posey colors, but after the make up artist put it on, it looked so great, i had to buy it.
it's reaaally pigmented, and pretty. i love it :)

Ok...so I wasn't going to buy a blush...I have plenty really...But, my friends wanted to have coffee on Saturday so we decided to meet at Nordies - Mac counter. So, as usual, I'm early. Didn't know what do to so I circled the mac counter a few times and settled on the blush section. I had some MU on but not much...no blush, of course. So, I tried a few and settled on this one. I tried it on both cheecks and really loved the subtle effect. I actually placed the blush on the right spots :-). I was admiring my handy work when the rest of the gang showed up. Off we went to grab some coffee and pay catch up. And during the catch up, one of my friends inquired about my blush. She wanted to know if I had some on. She said that it looks really natural and really love the color on me. The rest of the gang chimed in. The other two didn't think I had on blush since I normally don't wear it. They just thought I had some sun that day. So, after coffee we made a beeline to the mac counter. Two people from work already commented on the nice glow I got from the over the weekend. I just smiled.

DALLAS (AP) — Dirk Nowitzki's fever is gone.
The Mavericks star said "I feel great" as he took the court for a shootaround about eight hours before Game 5 of the NBA finals. He declared himself over the worst effects of a sinus infection he played through in Game 4.
Nowitzki said these infections crop up from time to time, and it's the fever that always causes him the most trouble. The coughing, wheezing and sniffling, some of which were still evident Thursday, are just "something you play through," he said.
The Mavs and Heat were tied 2-2 going ...

Q From Ken Blose (Dennis Montgomery posed a related question): While serving as a tour guide at a museum, an English lady told me that, in the days of castles, the very finest shoes were made of dog skin. So if you were invited to the castle for a party or event, you would dress in your finest, and for shoes, you would put on the dog, meaning shoes made of dog skin!
A Inventive, these English. Firstly, to put on the dog (or to put on dog, in the form I learnt it) is first recorded only in 1871, in a book by L H Bagg called Four Years at Yale: "Dog, style, splurge. To put on dog, is to make a flashy display, to cut a swell", and is certainly a US expression. So there's really no chance at all of an English medieval origin. It has been suggested that it developed out of the rise in popularity of ladies' lap dogs in the period after the American Civil War. Such animals were presumably pampered and beribboned, and this might have suggested that to put on the dog was to show off. This has the ring of a story made up after the event, but it's the only explanation I've come across.

Getting impregnated with baby Kimye has done wonders for Kim Kardashian's sense of style. She's phased out the avant garde burlap rompers for really lovely, slightly more modest looks that totally flatter her. This black lace dress she wore for an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," for example? Breathtakingly gorgeous. If you want to steal this style for yourself, we found three similar options, at prices that even a non-Kardashian can afford. Shopping details after the jump! Keep reading »

The police are asking for the public's assistance in locating Darren Hicks, 28, a robbery suspect who allegedly struck nearly a dozen times in one month.
In each case he is accused of brandishing a black semiautomatic handgun before demanding cash and property from his victims. Hicks is described as being 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing between 150 and 180 pounds.
The first time Hicks struck, he allegedly robbed a man, 27, sitting inside a Pepsi delivery truck in front of the J&C Grocery store at 110-02 Guy R. Brewer Blvd. in Jamaica on July 3 at 2:50 p.m. He then fled in a two-door Honda Accord.
The next victim, a 26-year-old woman, was working inside the Howard Johnson Inn at 153-95 Rockaway Blvd., in Rochdale Village on July 9 when the suspect allegedly approached the counter, at around 10:15 p.m. demanded money and fled on foot.
The next day Hicks allegedly struck again. This time the victim was a man, 48, working inside the Subway restaurant at 252-18 Rockaway Blvd. in Rosedale. At around 11:45 p.m. Hicks allegedly took the victim's wallet and cash from the register, before fleeing on foot.
On July 15, at around 6:10 p.m. Hicks allegedly went inside the Cambria Car Wash and Detailing Center at 208-15 Linden Blvd. in Jamaica, approached the victim, a 38-year-old woman, took cash from the register and fled on foot.
Two days later, an unsuspecting delivery truck driver, 34, was unloading items in front of the C-Town Supermarket at 195-09 Jamaica Ave. in Hollis, when the suspect allegedly approached, at around 1:30 p.m., demanded the man's wallet and fled on foot.
On July 18 at 11:25 a.m. two men, ages 43 and 51, were returning to their delivery trucks at the intersection of 114th Drive and Farmers Boulevard in St. Albans, when Hicks allegedly demanded their cell phones and cash, before fleeing in a white Ford Focus.
On July 21 at 11:54 p.m., another victim, 38, was making a delivery to the Farmbria Food Center at the intersection of Linden Boulevard and 219th Street in Cambria Heights, when Hicks allegedly demanded money, before fleeing on foot.
On July 21 at 3:50 p.m., the victim, a 50-year-old man, was working inside the Fine Fare Supermarket at 199-11 Hollis Ave. in Jamaica, when the suspect entered the store and allegedly took money from three registers, before fleeing in a white four-door sedan.
On July 24 at 2:25 p.m., a man, 20, was outside his Red Bull delivery truck at the intersection of Hillside Avenue and 179th Street in Jamaica, when Hicks allegedly demanded money, before fleeing on foot.
On Aug. 2 at 11:30 a.m. a man, 37, was unloading his 7UP delivery truck outside the Key Food supermarket at 213-22 Jamaica Ave. in Queens Village, when Hicks allegedly demanded money, before fleeing on foot.
Later that day, at around noon, Hicks allegedly struck again. This time the victim, a 47-year-old man, was inside his Boar's Head delivery truck in front of the Rite Aid drugstore at 222-14 Linden Blvd. in Jamaica, when Hicks allegedly knocked on the window and demanded money, before fleeing in a white sedan.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit tips by logging onto nypdcrimestoppers.com, or by texting 274637 (CRIMES), then entering TIP577. All tips are strictly confidential.
