Yesterday I spent a chunk of the afternoon re-acquainting myself with Bill Gerrard's 2007 Leeds University paper "Is the Moneyball Approach Transferable to Complex Invasion Team Sports?". Gerrard identifies three primary 'measurement problems' in any detailed single player analysis in "complex invasion team sports" like football:
"The tracking problem, the attribution problem and the weighting problem. The tracking problem refers to the identification, categorization and enumeration of different types of player actions in and out of possession and including spatial coordinates of where the actions have taken place on the field of play. The attribution problem is the problem of how to allocate the individual contributions to joint and interdependent actions. The weighting problem is concerned with determining the significance of each individual action to the overall match outcome."
Addressing all three is a tall order. For some, including many critics of the use of analytics in football, it is a practical, if not literal, impossibility. Football's inherent complexity means analytics will never yield anything of value in the game. Even if you were able to account for the individual player's contribution to the team as a whole, would it even tell us anything we don't already know through sound tactics and good scouting?
Let's cut out some of the noise and simplify what Dr. Gerrard is specifically after here: a statistical means to isolate the value of a single player to any given team that maintains predictive accuracy over as long a period as possible. In theory, a team's performance analyst, having discovered this magical metric, will for a time enjoy a market advantage over their big-spending rivals who pay out big for proven stars, that is until everyone else figures it out.
I think however that Gerrard's analysis of the level of knowledge, both empirical and statistical, required to make definitive statements about a footballer's 'absolute' value—an analysis which I believe broadly reflects a lot of conventional thinking on this subject—suffers from a slight problem of overdetermination.
Overdetermination is when an effect has more than one definitive cause at once, more than needed to draw a reasonable conclusion. To graphically explain what I mean in a footballing context, let's look at Gerrard's take on the so-called "tracking problem."
Gerrard is certainly right that technology has yielded basic single match data that unheard of even a decade ago. Successful final third passes, interceptions and where they occur, and yards-run per footballer can be found fairly easily for anyone interested in them, often in real-time. These data are interesting and can often underline our tactical impressions of a single match; however, at the statistical level their worth is more uncertain, particularly if these isolated match events are randomly distributed and quickly regress to the mean.
The broad point after all of statistics in sports is to isolate exactly what determines one team's ability to win more games than another team, and if this team has some sort of control over this affect, i.e. if it isn't just luck or ephemeral skill.
We know with some certainty at the team level for example that a side that consistently takes more shots than they concede will finish higher up on the league table over a full-season, a statistical correlation that you'll note does not require high-definition cameras and computer-tracking technology to determine. Just as you can broadly predict future performance based on nothing more complex than shots ratios, you may not need insanely precise measurements to discover that exceptional players do certain things more on average than regular players.
The TSR stat though poses a host of questions, among which the most intriguing is how does an individual player or manager affect this ratio? In my experience it's best (and most fun) to go from the obvious and whittle down to the unknown particulars. So let's try it.
Why does a team manage to take more shots than it concedes over an entire season? Perhaps it's because the club spends more money on proven players than their opponents. What then makes these players "proven"? Is it because, if they're a striker, they've scored a lot of goals? Perhaps, but then many strikers have great seasons at one club and then tank at another. Is it because if they're a defender, they make a lot of tackles? Well, as Sir Alex Ferguson famously discovered with Japp Stam, 'tackling' isn't really useful as an isolated metric in determining the skill of a defender. Often it's reflected in their positional sense, how they cut off space for their opponents and create it for their team-mates.
Moreover, are the inherent, absolute talents of individual players enhanced by a particular set of talents in their team-mates? Or are they enhanced by a particular tactical approach or managerial style? Do exceptionally talented players all tend to do the same things in the same areas of the pitch?
These are interesting questions, but I think it's important to stress they may not all require answers before we can begin to investigate the relationship between the skill of an individual player and the skill of a team. Some scouts are already moving ahead with their own bag of tricks. A couple of weeks ago, Adam Bate spoke with Hamburg's new chief technical scout, Steven Housten. Housten explained part of his methodology in identifying prospective players:
"It's no longer a case of saying a player has scored X amount of goals or a midfielder has created X amount of assists," he adds. "You only have to look at something simple like a goal. There are so many types of goals – the difficulty of the goal, the quality of the goal. And with passes there are passes and then passes in the final third. We are now able to break down into it. The hardest thing is to work out what is important and what isn't important – at a team level but also for individual players.
"For example, I think if you just looked at the players with the highest pass completion you would just be getting defensive midfielders like (John Obi) Mikel (at Chelsea) who tend to make shorter and less incisive passes. Passes in the final third are much more difficult to make and through-balls are passes that create higher quality chances for forwards rather than, say, a cross or something like that.
Housten's methods are likely far from definitive, but for the purposes of finding interesting ways to isolate individual talent from team ability, they can at least provide some interesting clues. A hypothetical study could for example look to a team with a high TSR, and then to their average starting XI. From there, they could look at their playing histories prior to joining the high TSR club, and, based on their position, look to some basic in-game measurements—passes attempted/completed, interceptions, successful final third passes—as a percentage of the team total over one or more seasons. Perhaps these percentages fluctuate wildly from game to game and hold no predictive weight; then you can look to other, perhaps more precise measurements to see if they hold any predictive power. Or maybe they do.
From there one could (admittedly arbitrarily) introduce a weight based on UEFA co-effecient and average league position, and you kind of have an imprecise means to make judgments on individual player ability.
Maybe all of this has been tried before and failed (if so, would love a link or two!), but it seems to me that good teams are good in part because they have individually good players, and that many (if perhaps not all) good players come with an ability that can be isolated from their team and their manager. Inherent, individual talent, as complicatedly intertwined with the talent of their team and their manager and the talent of their opponents as it may be, will not necessarily be discovered with the help of better technology or more precise measurements (I doubt that a tendency to make left-footed long passes in the centre circle is an indication of individual brilliance, for example). It might be, but analytics would do well to first exhaust all the existing avenues available, no matter how overtly 'simple' they may appear.

Valve is hiring hardware engineers
April 13, 2012 by Mufaddal Fakhruddin
Filed under News, PC, Xbox 360
Valve boss Gabe Newell's recent interview with Penny Arcade made it quite clear that that the company is definitely interested in making hardware – what that is, though, is for us to guess. A month or so back, the company was involved in two rumors, one for a console-like-PC called Steambox, and the second for a weird control-pad that had swappable components. Valve refused to comment on both, saying they were "long way" away from manufacturing any sort of hardware.
However, a recent job listing suggest that Valve is actively developing something hardware-related and are looking for engineers to help them "invent whole new gaming experiences".
Here's what the job description reads like:
"For years, Valve has been all about writing software that provides great gameplay experiences. Now we're developing hardware to enhance those experiences, and you can be a key part of making that happen. Join our highly motivated team that's doing hardware design, prototyping, testing, and production across a wide range of platforms. We're not talking about me-too mice and gamepads here – help us invent whole new gaming experiences."
Valve is known to use biometrics and all sorts of science-tery in developing its games, and we wouldn't be surprised if they put that experience into developing advanced game pads and controllers that could provide a whole new level of immersion and accuracy. This definitely looks interesting.
Skyrim gets official Kinect integration
April 13, 2012 by Mufaddal Fakhruddin
Filed under News, Spotlight, Xbox 360
Bethesda has announced Kinect support for its RPG, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The Kinect update is slated to roll out this month and will feature more than 200 voice commands, including, yes, even the dragon shouts. Fus Ro Dah just got real.
Players will fully be able to control the game with their voice, such as hotkey equipping, issue follower commands, accessing menus, and even saving and loading game files. Kinect support will also add new functionality including special map functions, additional hotkey options and the ability to sort inventory items by name, weight and value. Why isn't this a normal mouse-supported feature is beyond us.
Bethesda has published a demonstration video of the Kinect support. Full list of voice commands will be released shortly.

Hi all,
Thanks to all of the fantastic help I've received on this forum, I am coming down the home stretch with my two bathrooms. I will have two vanities, one 48" and the other 30". What size light bar is appropriate for them? There will only be a light in the showers and the overhead sink one. Thank you all. |

Just put one light on either side of the mirror. |
I don't know the "right" answer to your question, but I can tell you that you need at least 180W of light above each mirror for enough illumination to apply makeup - and even that is a little low. My pet peeve is not enough light in a bathroom, hotels are notorious for this. I don't think one light on either side of a mirror is adequate, unless each bulb is 100W and you have 4 of them over a vanity (two mirrors, 4 lights). |

Imagine my current flat-file no-CMS website with an URL like http://website.com/en/tomato
This is of course very unsexy and could be anything really from tomato soup, tomato the music band, tomato the movie, or more unlikely but still... just about tomatos!
So, I want to make it more specific for both real humans as well as search engines. Given: both the language code and short filename code are essential and cannot be replaced so somewhere there has got to be en

preciding/following whatever delimiter like /
for .htaccess to do the correct invisible redirects to /tomato.php?language=en
Some options occured in my mind for the added words in URL:

Bartsch R et al. – The combination of fulvestrant and goserelin offers promising activity in premenopausal patients.
Methods- Premenopausal patients with metastatic breast cancer eligible for endocrine treatment received fulvestrant 250mg and goserelin 3.6mg every four weeks as first- to fourth-line therapy.
- Twenty-six patients received treatment as scheduled. 81% were pre-treated with tamoxifen and 69% had received prior aromatase inhibitors in combination with goserelin.
- The majority of patients (69%) presented with visceral metastases.
- Complete response was observed in a single patient, partial response in three and disease stabilisation 6months in eleven patients, resulting in a CBR of 58%.
- Median TTP was 6months (95%confidence interval (CI), 2.4–9.6) and OS 32months (95%CI, 14.28–49.72), respectively.

Murphy Releases Report, Unveils Bill to Fully Fund Federal Home Heating Assistance
The Guaranteed Energy Assistance Act of 2011 will ensure LIHEAP funds are available when Connecticut families need them most
NEW BRITAIN, CT – December 6, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Today, Congressman Chris Murphy released the results of a survey of home energy assistance applicants in Connecticut and unveiled new legislation to fully fund the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which helps over 110,000 Connecticut families stretch their budgets during the cold winter months. Congress is currently considering legislation that would slash federal low-income home energy assistance grants. Rep. Murphy launched the LIHEAP survey on October 4th at the State Capitol in Hartford.
Murphy also hosted a roundtable discussion with LIHEAP applicants from around the Fifth District on Saturday to share real stories of how this critical assistance helps them and their families.
"In home after home in towns across Connecticut, people are having a tough time making ends meet, particularly when the temperature drops and budgets are stretched thin," said Murphy. "This survey helps show the hard reality of what gutting LIHEAP would mean for Connecticut families, but behind the data are real people who rely on this critical assistance to keep their families warm through long New England winters. These are their stories."

Murphy also announced the Guaranteed Energy Assistance Act of 2011, new legislation that would create a federal "LIHEAP Trust Fund" to fully fund the program and ensure that its funds could not be raided to support other activities.
"Cutting away the basic elements of our social safety net like LIHEAP does little to reduce the budget deficit, but it does immeasurable harm to working families across our state," Murphy added. "In the middle of a recession when job and wage growth remain slow, the need for energy assistance programs is only expected to grow this season. Rather than leave the program at the mercy of year-to-year funding battles, this bill will provide a dedicated revenue stream to ensure that LIHEAP remains fully-funded for Connecticut families."

In a nutshell: I went to the Dr for a routine physical. From the appointment to take blood samples and the appointment to get the results my health insurance changed. Though co-workers were able to be recognized by the new provider, I was not. I paid the fee out of pocket and filed a claim myself. The claim was denied. I fought with the insurance company and got it paid (only partially) but they sent the check to the doctors office instead of to me! The doctors office wants to keep the check because they said they discounted my visit because I was paying myself instead of using insurance.
Their accountant won't return my calls. I've been calling since July and have gotten nowhere. I keep explaining that the right thing to do is to send me the money or charge it back onto my credit card. That giving me the money is cheaper than keeping it because to keep it is to admit that I was covered by insurance which means that I am only liable for the $25 co-pay - and if you subtract that co-pay from what I've already paid they would have to return more money to me than what the insurance sent them. I know I need another doctor - even though I like the doctor but I can't do business with these people. What I want to know is where do you turn for help in this sort of situation. The state Medical Board doesn't get involved with payment issues, only doctor misconduct. The insurance company wants nothing to do with it. I would love to go sit at their front door with protest sign but I can't afford the time off work. |

Take the doctor to small claims court if you are changing doctors anyway. Want to bet that the money will be forthcoming once he gets the court papers. Set yourself up with a new doctor first and make sure you take every scrap of evidence you have even if you don't think it important, if and when you go to court. Document everything --dates of appointments, letters and phone calls to both the insurance company and the doctor, and any thing showing the doctor was paid by both you and the insurance company. Before you set it up with small claims send a letter telling your doctor just what you are going to do if he won't come across with what's owing. |

Arrival Kuwait 18:30 7FEB06
My first orders overseas, issued over the intercom on our plane as we parked at the gate after landing in Kuwait:
"You will depart the plane and proceed directly to the buses, nothing else. No smoke break, no pictures, no nothing, just get on the buses; Its nighttime here so ..."
We got off the plane and proceeded to the buses. Small, with curtains drawn over the windows, the buses were the first sign we were 'not in Kansas anymore'. Before boarding the buses, the air was fresh and much more humid than in Yuma. Inside the buses, it was musty, dank, stale.
The seats were only big enough to seat soldiers under 5'10", so those of us a little taller had to jam our knees between our seatbacks and those in front of us. We drove around a bit, then stopped long enough for a couple of soldiers to get off for a basic issue of ammo for the trip ahead. As we departed, the driver, a local of undetermined nationality turned out the lights and American voice said, "Close all of the curtains!"

From my journal - written on Feb 9, 2003...
While on the flight over, dinner was served and as we at it and watched Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson in "I Spy." The movie stopped and the pilot came over the intercom: "We are going to ask you to close all the window shades and we are going to turn off all the cabin lights for our approach into Kuwait." It was 10:28pm Kuwaiti time. The cabin became very dark. This was the first indication that this was for real. We still had another 30 minutes to go before we would land, but this snapped people into realizing that we were heading into the real thing.
We landed at 10:56pm (Kuwaiti time) and were told that we were at ThreatCon C (threat condition) - no formations, no saluting. We grabbed our bags and moved passed a vehicle with a soldier in it who was taking our names to begin inprocessing us. We were put into another bus. We were at Kuwait International Airport. We all moved into a large Bedouin tent where we were briefed on basic information. We all then moved into another tent to rest for an hour until we were called to come unload the bags and reload them onto some trucks for their trip across the desert to our new home.

AM Tuning Networks
In January 2012 I looked at the venerable T network for impedance matching in AM antenna systems. Now I'll discuss the L and Pi networks, and look at their use in antenna systems.
The L network is the simplest of the impedance transformation networks, and can be constructed with two reactive elements. Since it is the simplest of the transformation networks it essentially is the building block for the more complex T, Pi, and other types of networks. The simplicity in construction, however, also limits the usefulness of this network, and its ability to make transformations.
Because capacitors and inductors are the flavors of reactive elements available, and it takes two elements to create the L network, there are two different general topologies available. One has the shunt leg on the load side of the network, while the other is the mirror image with the shunt on the generator side. Four different arrangements are possible within these two topologies depending on the combination of components utilized. Thus, eight different combinations would be possible for matching various impedances, although the four cases utilizing both a capacitor and an inductor are used are much more common. The shunt leg of the network will be located on the side with the greater impedance.
Not a simple transformation
It should be noted that an L network cannot be used to transform between two impedances where the resistance values are identical. Intuitively this should make sense as such a transformation can easily be accomplished through the use of a series inductor or capacitor depending on the direction you need to move the reactance. Inductors in series will add positive reactance, while a capacitor will take things the other direction adding negative reactance. If control of phase over such a transformation is required, then a T, Pi, or some other flavor of network must be utilized.
The Q of the network, which relates to the bandwidth, is determined by the ratio of the impedances to be transformed. This quantity, which cannot be independently selected by the network designer, is low for small transformations, and grows with the range of the desired transformation. So shifting high impedances down to standard transmission line values may result in higher than desired reflected power, and by extension VSWR, within the spectrum of a particular signal.

Currency Substitution via Expected Exchange Rate and Domestic Money Demand: An Empirical Analysis for Japan
Chotigeat, T. and Sang, H. Lee (1996) Currency Substitution via Expected Exchange Rate and Domestic Money Demand: An Empirical Analysis for Japan. Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities, 4 (2). pp. 155-164. ISSN 0128-7702
4Mb |
In this paper the currency substitution hypothesis is tested empirically on the Japanese money demand, using monthly data from January 1977 to December 1989. Under a flexible exchange rate a rational economic agent forms currency portfolios for both transaction and speculative reasons for demanding money. The nonlinear multivariate maximum likelihood estimation was used to estimate jointly the Japanese money demand and the expected exchange rate equation; possible existence of current substitution is found. The empirical results indicate that (a) the expected exchange rate for the Japanese yen/Canadian dollar shows currency substitution due to speculative demand, and (b) the expected exchange rate of the yen/US dollar shows currency substitution due to transaction demand.

Portuguese Timor—Preparing for Democracy
During my visit to Portuguese Timor I saw one of the first democratic elections in the territory. It was at Iliomar in the district of Lauten on 2 March and was one of a series of similar elections in that district. They are an experiment. If they succeed the system of elections would be adopted, with minor alterations, throughout the territory. For the Portuguese Administration the elections have two basic objectives. To decolonise the district political and administrative structure by involving the people and to educate the people in democracy.
[matter omitted]
- The elections represented a primitive form of democracy. It was market day at Iliomar on 2 March. When Lieutenant Rial, from the political affairs office in the Administration in Dili, arrived those who wished to vote -they numbered several hundreds- gathered in a field. Major Rial was assisted by the district civil administrator, an interpreter and representatives of UDT and FRETILIN, who adjudicated in any dispute. (APODETI had initially supported the elections seeing them, as did UDT and FRETILIN, as a necessary part of the decolonisation process. Subsequently APODETI refused to participate because of its program of non-cooperation with the government resulting from the ban on its radio program.) There were to be two votes, one for the chief of the suco of Fuato, the other for the chief of the suco of Iliomar. Participants in each election were grouped together.1
- I saw only the first election. Before Lieutenant Rial could explain the procedure, supporters of the challenger were arguing with him. They did not want an election. Most people in the suco disliked the existing chief, they said. Thus he should be summarily deposed in the time honoured fashion. Lieutenant Rial explained the meaning of the election and the democratic process. After a long, quite heated, discussion the Lieutenant won and the election proceeded.
- Each person, the men before the women, took one stone and, in turn, placed it in one of two baskets. The baskets were distinctively marked and the people had been told several times which was for each candidate. So the vote would be secret these baskets were inside a large drum. To prevent people voting twice they filed past the drum from one side to the other. The party representatives jointly supervised the voting and the counting of the stones. On this occasion the challenger won. As far as I could judge the decision was accepted by the defeated faction.
- Lieutenant Rial said that the average number of people voting in the elections was about 50% of those eligible. For instance, in the suco of Leuro the possible vote was 496. 223 (including 65 women) voted for the existing chief and one against. In the suco of Souro the possible vote was 969. 368 voted for the existing chief and 37 against him. One stone missed the basket and was declared an invalid vote. 104 women voted in that election. It was possible to abstain from voting by telling the supervisor. One abstention had been recorded so far. The party representatives had decided that a 50% vote was sufficient.
- Three main principles underlie the organisation of the elections. First, they were not party elections. The issues were local. Lieutenant Rial said, however, that APODETI had sought to stir up trouble in connection with the elections in several villages. There were also reports that FRETILIN had organised candidates. It would be strange if this were not the case. At Iliomar though no party influence was noticeable.
- Secondly, the decolonization program recognised that the traditional power structure in the villages-the chiefs-was important to the people. It respected this structure but combined with it the western democratic practice of voting. Where there were kings the proposal was to make the kings non-elected district councillors. Their position would be respected and they would retain their importance. But their discretionary power would be reduced through their inclusion in the Council. The Portuguese realised that when they left the Timorese may choose not to continue with the new system.
- Thirdly, the program sought to introduce the people to the democratic process. It would demonstrate that the chief's authority depended on his maintaining the people's confidence. The people would become aware that they all, women included, could participate publicly in their own government. It sought to make them conscious that Portugal aimed at the democratic organisation of the administration with the liberty of expression and the right of people to join together in pursuit of a common program.
- This system of elections was open to abuse. It might be possible to vote twice, though others in the village would probably notice. While the vote was secret it was possible to tell in which area of the large drum the voter placed his stone and, by knowing which basket was in that area, to know how a person voted. An unscrupulous group could take advantage of this. In the election at Iliomar, however, there was no evidence of abuse.2
- The elections, and the restructuring of local politics and administration of which they form a part, demonstrate that the new Portuguese administration in Timor was genuine in its attempt to decolonise the territory. They claim to see this objective as their duty under the program of the Armed Forces Movement. In Iliomar at least there was no doubting the enthusiasm of the Portuguese in this experimental election system. An enormous obstacle to their success, however, is the backwardness of the people, particularly the lack of skilled manpower. Considerable time would be required; the Governor and his advisors recognised this. Whether they are given time, however, would depend on the Government in Lisbon.
- Copies of this memorandum are being sent to UNNY and the Australian Embassies in Lisbon and Washington.

Everything I read says alliums need full sun, although since they have foliage in spring, I'm wondering if it's feasible to plant them under trees where they would have sun in early spring and then shade later. The tree in question started to leaf out at the beginning of May. Would that be sun enough for alliums (they'd still get a tiny bit of morning sun after the tree has leaves). I have hostas there currently, and I've love to have some allium flower heads poking up with them, but I'm worried the late spring shade would be a problem. What do you think? |
Follow-Up Postings:
FULL sun means different for different climates, plants. For tomatoes 6 hours is considered full sun. But then it is not just DIRECT sun. indirect and defused lights also have benefits. In fact alliums, can tolerate shade better, as they are generally COOL crops. So, the question is, when your tree grows leaves, will the bed see ZERO hour of direct sun ? |
Thanks for responding! The place I'd like to put them will only get maybe 1 hour of direct sun in the morning once the tree's leaves fill out completely. Maybe I should have them somewhere else. I do also have some blue allium bulbs to plant which I've read can tolerate less sun? Maybe it would be ok there? |
I would look at early spring-blooming bulbs like crocus and scilla instead, or even miniature daffodils. |
I hope it's okay to add to this thread. I have several spots in my front yard that aren't under trees. However we have Eastern exposure, so there's pretty much alternating sun and shade throughout the day. Has anyone had success with ornamental Allium plants in such an environment? I want to plant some in the worst way, but I don't know whether it would pay off or not. Thanks. |
Ms Xeno- I planted several varieties in pretty shady spots last fall (since it was all I had available and I thought I'd take the chance). I'll post back when they come up and let you know how they do! For what It's worth, I've read that the azure alliums do better in shade than others. |
I have several different types of allium growing under an Pin Oak tree. Which gets sun until the leaves come in then its filter sun only. Allium will grow almost anywhere. |
Thanks, arylkin (I hope you get the nice blooms you want) and mori1. I appreciate it. This Fall, if finances permit, I'm definitely going to reserve some space and try some out. |

Hoosiers looking to get into zone against Syracuse
By LaMond Pope firstname.lastname@example.com March 27, 2013 7:06PM
Updated: April 29, 2013 12:12PM
WASHINGTON — The Big Ten season has prepared Indiana for many styles of play.
IU has taken care of teams with explosive guards like Michigan's Trey Burke.
The Hoosiers have squared off against physical forwards, like Minnesota's Trevor Mbakwe. And they have knocked off teams with multiple bigs, like the Derrick Nix-Adreian Payne combo at Michigan State.
But Indiana hasn't faced anything like Syracuse's vaunted 2-3 zone. The Hoosiers (29-6) will get their chance tonight when they meet the Orange (28-9) in a regional semifinal at approximately 8:45 p.m. at Verizon Center.
"Their length and athleticism is a thing we haven't seen that much of this year," Indiana sophomore forward Cody Zeller said Wednesday. "We have our work cut out for us. Hopefully we can find some gaps in it."
What's so special about Syracuse's zone?
"We're long and athletic. People don't really know how to play against our 2-3 zone," Syracuse freshman forward Jerami Grant said. "They expect it to be a regular 2-3 zone like everyone else plays, but we extend the wings. It will be hard to pick out the open spots in the zone.
"We know all the little things that teams try to do to break the zone. Playing the zone is a plus."
This is the third time Tom Crean has had to prepare for Syracuse. He went 0-2 against the Orange as Marquette's coach.
"At Marquette we didn't necessarily have the ability to score in the low post that maybe we have now. So it was a little bit different attack and we had good guards, … people that could make plays but we didn't necessarily have the low post ability," Crean said.
"It allows you to be a little bit more creative. I don't think you can look at that zone and think you're going to beat it any one way but I don't think you can look at the zone and think you can stand around and pass the ball around the perimeter, either, that is a recipe for defeat."
Indiana freshman point guard Yogi Ferrell pointed out that his high school team, Park Tudor, utilized a 2-3 zone. But this is a little different.
"Visually, it's going to be very tough to find those openings," Ferrell said. "I feel like if we move well, we'll be OK."
Syracuse looked anything but OK near the end of the Big East regular season, dropping four of its final five games. The regular season ended with a humbling 61-39 loss to Georgetown at the site of tonight's game, the Verizon Center.
The Orange responded by reaching the Big East tournament final, where Louisville rallied from a 16-point deficit for the 78-61 win.
"It's easier said than done. They struggled with it in the first half. They got it going flowing in the second half," Zeller said of the Cardinals' win. "You have to attack the zone and try to find some openings."

With the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug drawing nigh, Air New Zealand is capitalizing on NZ native Peter Jackson's continued use of the island nation as the real-life substitute for Tolkien's Middle Earth once again.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey made just over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, a tremendous success no matter what way you look at it, and a good sign for Warner Bros, the studio that took a chance on Peter Jackson to catch lightening in a bottle for a return sojourn through Middle Earth. With two movies to go, what could possible be the dark cloud in this bright sky?
How about $561 million in production costs on the trilogy so far? That's the number Variety reported after obtaining financial documents filed in New Zealand, home base for Jackson and all things Hobbit related. That $561 million (or $676 million in New Zealand money) covers all aspects of production through March 31st this year, so it doesn't cover the recent reshoots, the majority of post-production on part 2 The Desolation of Smaug or any of the post on part3, There and Back Again.
How does that compare to the original Lord of the Rings trilogy? Good question.
Yesterday, Peter Jackson received New Zealand's highest honor becoming an Additional Member of the Order of New Zealand for his services to New Zealand. Jackson is the first person from the film industry so honored.
At this point, I'm awaiting New Zealand to rename themselves Jacksonland, or Tolkienland, for as much time as Peter Jackson has spent filming not only the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but The Hobbit trilogy. And he's there yet again! And will be for about another 10 weeks as they finish the last bits of additional filming required to get what was going to be only two films, into three.
Jackson updated his Facebook page with the above photo, and the following statement
Back on set for our last Hobbit pick ups. Our last ever Tolkien pick ups, in fact. It's going to be an intense few weeks, but we're looking forward to shooting some powerful scenes with our great cast. Our next blog is coming soon!
Hmm, Ian McKellen doesn't look all too happy, does he? Could he be regretting his decision to return as Gandalf? It was a decision he grappled with before relenting and choosing to come back, and judging from the difficulties he had when last there for The Hobbit, he may have only grudgingly returned this time.
What could be left to film? Apparently a lot of work is still needed for The Battle of Five Armies, and– wait, this hasn't been filmed, yet!? Isn't this a rather important climax for the trilogy? I don't know, should we be worried about this? Can't wait to see what Jackson has to say for himself in the next video production diary.

Turns out that the Hobbits all live in Kiwi-land (i.e. New Zealand). This actually makes perfect sense. Why didn't I think about that before?
Hobbiton has been a thing since 2002; it's a tourist village in New Zealand that's been modeled after Middle Earth. It's also where The Hobbit was filmed, so tourism is expected to increase substantially once the movie is released. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was also filmed not far from there, in the town of Matamata.
Just in time for Hobbiton's 10th anniversary this coming weekend, they've opened up a Hobbit pub called the Green Dragon. The Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Key, cut the ribbon (in this case, cut the chain with bolt cutters) at the opening ceremony.
As part of the tourist attraction, guests can stop by for some boozin' at the end of their tour on the way out. Because, well, why the hell would they want to deal with the drunks? Just leave 'em off to the side. They'll be fine.
Jump as far as you can for more pictures of the pub and see for yourself how it would feel to drink in Middle Earth, yourself.
Cross marketing is the norm these days so it's not surprising that companies use movie tie ins to promote products, services, or in this case airplane safety. Air New Zealand teamed up with Weta Workshop, (Those creative guys that make wonderful toys that Peter Jackson plays with.), to create a hobbit themed safety video, there's even a couple of surprise cameos.
Air New Zealand is also running a contest at their website. Solve the Elvish code and win six double passes to the World Premiere Screening of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in New Zealand on the 28th of November. The winners also receive a tour of the Hobbiton set, enjoy a Weta cave visit, and then get to go to the Lord of the Rings tour in Wellington and Queenstown.

In news that will shock nobody, New Zealand is honoring Peter Jackson's second trilogy set in Middle Earth – also known as New Zealand – with a commemorative set of stamps. The neat thing about them, assuming you're not a philatelist and find them fascinating already, is these stamps give us good looks at Thorin Oakenshield, Elrond, and Radagast the Brown.
Personally, I like seeing more of Radagast the most. Whether it's because I find him a fascinating character – and really, who doesn't want to meet another wizard? – or because I think Sylvester McCoy is one of the coolest people I've ever met, I'm not sure.
See more at the website for New Zealand's Post. Though, I'm not sure if you'll be able to order these outside of New Zealand. But I bet someone will have 'em eBay.

So imagine you're on the ship The Noble Discoverer in the harbor of Auckland, New Zealand. You've been contracted by Shell to go up to the Arctic and drill for oil of the coast of Alaska, which means big money for you. Life is good, but then you notice a bunch of strangers on your boat, and one of them looks suspiciously like a certain Warrior Princess from Ancient Greece.
Nope, you're not dreaming, Lucy Lawless really is there with the Greenpeace boarding party that just seized your ship.
Lawless' history with organization goes back to 1992 when she played a Greenpeace activist in the film, The Rainbow Warrior. But while talking to The Village Voice Lawless pointed out that her fans and the public shouldn't quite yet file her own self under the activist category.
"I really don't think of myself as an activist. So how did this happen? The world has been putting fossil fuels in the air and the scientists have been screaming from the rooftops. The fact that now the major oil companies are spearheading this mad oil dash to the Arctic, one of the most pristine environments left on the planet, it's the definition of madness. They think the melting ice caps is not a warning to humanity about climate change—they think it's an invitation. This is unacceptable. We cannot allow our grandchildren to grow up with a terrible burden. That's what we're doing here today. Hands off the Arctic!"
So that happened. Can't think what would have happened if Lawless was packing a chakram and ululating, but chances are the crew would have been $#!%ing bricks… or be really turned on.

How many Hobbits does it take to hobble the City of Wellington in New Zealand? No joke, it's actually about 3,000.
Yes sir, an open casting call for Hobbit extras in Peter Jackson's still shooting Hobbit prequels brought in over 3,000 people, which, According to the Guardian, was about 1,800 more people than the production company and casting agents were expecting. The police then came out and shut the casting call down, citing issues of motorway safety and probably too damn many people walking around without shoes on. Instead, the Hobbit team says that they will find their Shire-folk online, and thus avoid any further potential mob scenes. And for the record, the total population of Wellington is 393,000 people, so 1 in every 131 Wellingtoners came out for the casting call. No wonder the police were called, it was literally like half the city was shut down. (Source: Blastr)
In other Lord of the Rings related news, new posters for LOTR Lego sets have hit the web today, and if they look familiar, it's for a very good reason. You can click through each of the various posters, and see the bigger version. (Source: Geek Tyrant)
Get ready to live vicariously (and jealously) through some other lucky nerd. Quint of Ain't It Cool News recently went on a trip to New Zealand to do what? Duh, visit the set of The Hobbit, which I believe is easily the number one thing to do in New Zealand. Peter Jackson production = instant tourism. Quint has returned with an abundance of exclusive set photos as well as a bunch of spoilers wrapped up as neat, tidy scene descriptions.
If you are at all excited about The Hobbit, and aren't afraid to see a little of the movie behind the magic, then you must go to AICN for Quint's entire report. For now, why not enjoy this completely copy 'n' pasted sample of set photos with accompanying description,
Sir Ian is there and is delivering some lines for this wide shot, giving Tall Paul his cues to wave an arm or shoot a look back over his shoulder to the dwarves and giving the other actors in the scene the real Gandalf to react to.
Gandalf (affectionately referred to as "Gandy" by the crew) is essentially shouting orders to the dwarves to search the area, in a way acting like a parent chaperoning a school field trip, trying to keep everybody on task. Sir Ian came in for the next set up, which was closer. With the incline of the slope and various dips and valleys to the landscape they were able to get Sir Ian and the dwarves into the same shot without using doubles.
It is Bilbo who finds the entrance to the troll cave, which was a giant rock set out at a sharp angle over the forest floor. A set had been constructed a good 100 feet away, but Peter didn't like it, so they used this natural spot for the mouth of the cave. There was talk that there might be a new interior set constructed back in Wellington for reverse shots.
Amongst the stash of treasure and weapons taken from poor dwarves, elves, orcs and men captured and eaten by these trolls is a tiny elvish blade, barely bigger than a dagger for a regular man, but just the right size for a Hobbit.
Unless I'm misremembering Fellowship, Peter Jackson filmed Gandalf handing Sting over to Bilbo to mirror Bilbo giving Frodo the sword in LOTR. In other words, he makes a moment out of it. With the beautiful green forest in the background (cave entrance), Martin reluctantly receives the sword, pulling it slowly out of its sheath.
Thorin gets Orcrist here as well, which you can see him wield in his promo picture by the way. Orcrist is a long, flat blade and they filmed a scene of Richard Armitage swinging it down in a wide arc striking down a leaping evil thing to be added in digitally before all is said and done.
Kili uses a bow and arrow and the rest of the team have their own different weapons, like Graham McTavish's Dwalin wields two axes and William Kircher's Bifur more often than not uses stabbing weapons like spears. There's also single axes, clubs and even cooking spoons as in the case of the fattest of the dwarves, Bombur (Stephen Hunter), who I'm convinced was modeled after Harry.
Gandalf and Radagast share a scene as well. Sylvester McCoy plays Radagast the Brown, a somewhat kooky wizard who is more at home with animals, insects and flora than he is with people.
Based on what I've seen over the last few weeks I think it's going to be a toss up between Bombur and Radagast on who will steal the movie. Bombur is just so loveable and funny and Radagast is ridiculously endearing, an absent-minded St. Francis of Assisi.
Radagast comes with a word of warning that foreshadows some trouble our group will run into later. The words "Mirkwood," "webs," "Ungoliant" and "Dol Guldur" are mentioned.
Due to the complexity of shooting a group of different sized races they had to do an effects shot in this location. As Radagast arrives and talks with Gandalf the dwarves look on, distrusting this newly arrived individual. Bilbo is there as well and is obviously taken aback by this weird man (even once pulling an Office and looking at the camera with wide eyes, head slightly shaking… how cool is that?).
As you can see in the picture above he's mostly being used as Gandalf's stand in and it's pretty eerie just how much he looks like Sir Ian when in full Gandalf getup. There are some shots from the side where all you can see is beard, hat and nose and that's enough to make your brain register Gandalf, even in person.
Paul has worked closely with Sir Ian to make sure his Gandalf moves in much the same way as Sir Ian's.
Before playing Wizards, Tall Paul was, believe it or not, a cop.

I'm sure your mouth is literally watering for some moving pictures from The Hobbit. Sorry, that's not what we have here. What we've got here is a video of Elijah Wood telling you the trailer for, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (which is the first half of entire Hobbit tale) will be attached to The Adventures of Tin Tin.
So, yeah, woot! We've got that going for us. 'Tis the season for highly anticipated trailers.
Tin Tin releases December 21, 2011.

Power Consumption
We are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
Idle Power consumption was not too terrible for an enthusiast board. We did see things kick up quite a bit when we overclocked, but we were not happy with the very large delta between stock and load power draw. We hope this can be adjusted with a more fine-tuned BIOS.
Heat Generation
As a new measure, we are now monitoring the heat generation from the key components on the motherboard; this being the Northbridge, Southbridge (if it contains one) as well as the Mosfets around the CPU. The results are recorded at idle and load during the power consumption tests.
Temperatures were a little on the high side for the P67A-UD7. We think this could be due to the limited air flow on our test bench. Still, no matter, you should be aware of these temps when looking into using this board.

A coalition of 15 U.S. states and the City of New York filed suit yesterday afternoon against the federal Department of Energy (DOE) for violating Congressionally enacted mandates to adopt stronger energy-saving standards for 22 common appliances that use large amounts of electricity, natural gas and oil by specified deadlines. According to a release from New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer the government's own numbers indicate the standards would generate substantial consumer savings while reducing air pollution and global warming emissions from power plants. "As oil and gas prices hit record levels and the impacts of global warming become more apparent, it is profoundly disappointing that the federal government has failed to adopt these crucial energy saving standards," Spitzer said. "The law requires it, and common sense dictates it. These standards will save energy and money for consumers and help protect our health and environment." The release from Spitzer's office says Congress directed DOE to strengthen efficiency standards for furnaces, water heaters, clothes washers, dryers, air-conditioners, dishwashers, heat pumps, motors, ranges, ovens, and other household and commercial products. Congress established initial efficiency standards for most of the products and directed DOE to periodically review and strengthen them. The DOE is directed to establish the initial efficiency standards for the remaining products and periodically strengthen them. Spitzer says DOE is 6 to 13 years behind schedule and has not adopted any appliance efficiency standards since January 2001. Spitzer's office points to DOE estimates that indicate the average annual energy savings would meet the total annual energy needs of 3 million to as many as 12 million American households, depending on how stringent the standards are and how fast they are phased in. The states wrote to DOE on July 1, 2005, requesting that it comply with the law and commit to a binding schedule for establishing stronger standards, and alerted DOE that without such a schedule they would commence federal litigation. Spitzer says DOE did not respond to the letter. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. It is available on the New York Attorney General's website at: www.oag.state.ny.us More Comments From Suing States California Attorney General Bill Lockyer: "Energy efficient appliances help protect the environment and our pocketbooks," These conservation goals are simply common sense." Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal: "How reprehensible for federal officials to disregard these cost-savings energy standards - at precisely the moment when consumers most need real price relief. Consumers should feel mocked and outraged by this purposeful federal failure when they pay spiraling charges. The federal government's inaction is inexplicable, inexcusable, and anti-consumer. The cost-saving technology is widely available; failure to use it is folly." Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan: "Efficient appliances benefit everyone. They save money for consumers, conserve scarce resources, and reduce damage to the environment. Particularly in these times of shortage and spiraling energy prices, there is no excuse for delaying efficiency standards." Maine Attorney General G. Steven Rowe: "Federal law required the Department of Energy to update energy efficiency standards for many kinds of appliances by deadlines that have long since passed. These modern efficiency standards would reduce demand for electricity, decrease our dependence on foreign oil and save consumers money on their utility bills. As energy costs spiral out of control, there is no excuse for the Federal government's continued foot-dragging and inaction." Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly: "The need for strong national energy efficiency standards has never been more apparent. It's time for the Department of Energy to do its job and create standards that will not only benefit our environment but consumers who will spend less to keep their homes running." New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey: "We need stronger efficiency standards for appliances that will reduce electricity demand, reduce the drain on our energy resources and reduce pollution. By ignoring a Congressional mandate to adopt such standards, the Department of Energy has left us more vulnerable in the current energy crunch. We are taking legal action to ensure that there is no more foot-dragging on this issue." New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly A. Ayotte: I am taking this action to protect New Hampshire's consumers from higher energy bills, increased air and water pollution from power plants and reduced energy security. As natural gas and home heating oil prices hit record highs, the federal government's failure to meet its obligation to revise energy efficiency standards for common appliances calls out for prompt action. I urge the federal government to respond with a timely schedule for compliance with the law." New Mexico Attorney General Patricia A. Madrid: "New Mexicans have recently been told that they can expect their heating bills to increase up to 30% this winter due to an increase in natural gas prices. On top of this, consumers are faced with record high costs for oil and gasoline. This is a time when energy savings measures are most needed. This is not the time for the federal government to turn aside cost efficient approaches to saving energy." Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Kathleen A. McGinty: "Some have suggested conservation is cute. They're wrong – it's critical. Energy efficiency must be recognized as an important component to America's energy future. Enhanced standards would mean immediate environmental improvements and additional cost savings for consumers." Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager: "The Administration's failure to act on these standards will have a devastating effect on Wisconsin consumers as we head toward winter. With fuel prices rocketing out of control and other energy costs rising, it's critical we demand enforcement of the energy efficiency standards as soon as possible." New York City Corporation Counsel Michael Cardozo: "This lawsuit is an important energy savings measure for all New York City residents. It will also advance the City's – as well as overall environmental – interests by increasing efficiency of consumer and commercial appliances. New York City residents and businesses pay some of the highest energy prices in the country. In addition, the City suffers from high levels of ozone and fine particulate matter. Forcing the Department of Energy to revise the efficiency standards for these products, as it is required by law to do, will benefit the City's residents and businesses in terms of both energy costs and air quality."
