Hi Sergio, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions It's been only half a year since the release of xRTML 2.0 - how significant an advance is the 3.0 release?
Sergio Costa, Realtime Developer Evangelist: xRTML 2.0 was a release we did with a lot of core changes that we felt were necessary at the time. It was something too big to be a minor release so we decided to increase the major release and launch it as 2.0. This new release, 3.0, introduces a lot of new and exciting features, such as the new templating model, storage, new inheritance model and versioning, and it's a real breakthrough for our framework. If I could, I would even name it 4.0 or 5.0! But I think people would think we were nuts if we skipped a version.
With the 2.0 release the "M" in xRTML came to stand for "multiplatform" rather than "markup" - does 3.0 continue that trend?
Costa: It does. xRTML is not just about the Web. The release we did right now was all about the JavaScript (Web) version but we are hard at work to bring all the other APIs up to speed with great features.
What are the most important enhancements in xRTML 3.0?
Costa: I would say the core changes, the templating system and storage. These three alone make for a lot of hours of coding and really bring xRTML to a new level. Of course, all the other new features, such as metadata and tag inheritance, are important-and very handy-but the three ones I named, for me, are the most amazing ones. The xRTML team really did a wonderful job.
Did developer feedback play a significant role in the xRTML 3.0 design?
Costa: Definitely! We built the Realtime Framework and xRTML with developers in mind and we are always trying to gather their feedback to see how we can improve these tools and get them to work better and faster. We are developers ourselves so we know how important it is to have a good framework that lets you build your applications comfortably, securely and fast. Developers have a major role in our build process as we are listening and trying to solve issues that may rise up and cope with their needs.
Does xRTML 3.0 lower the learning curve for creating Realtime apps?
Costa: That's the whole reason for the existence of xRTML. Developers can start building their Realtime applications in literally a matter of minutes. They can start seeing results immediately with little effort and without having to learn a massive, complicated framework.
We see that the new storage layer is a beta release - is xRTML now a mature platform or is it still a work in progress?
Costa: Both. xRTML is very much a mature product, although we are always trying to evolve it and make it better and easier to work with. Storage is something very new and we are planning on adding some interesting and exciting features to it that will further help developers build amazing applications. We decided to launch it as beta to get feedback from developers and build it using their suggestions. Again: developers are a huge part of how we develop our framework.
Does the contest for developers to submit their Realtime apps to a distinguished panel of judges signal a greater emphasis on community building and developer adoption?
Costa: The contest is something we wanted to do for some time, along with other events, but we decided to postpone for a few reasons. It is indeed a way for us to approach developers and incentivize them to use the framework and experiment with the technology. Developers who want to enter the contest should visit contest.xrtml.org and read all about it there. We have a great panel of judges and very cool prizes to give away.
We know we have great technology, we truly believe in it and in what the real time Web might be, and we now just need to get developers to give it a try, think about what they can do with it, and start creating the next-generation Web and mobile apps.
Does xRTML 3.0 make Realtime an established leader in Web 3.0 app development?
Costa: I like to think it does. Gartner already said that the Web 3.0 (or "the next Web," as they call it) is all about real-time Web, and xRTML 3.0 is the right set of tools to start building it.
How can Realtime keep ahead of the competition?
Costa: Realtime lets developers build all new features in websites-or update existing ones-that can create a real difference for a company and its website or application. We all know that users are king and they will use our services or products (websites or applications) instead of the competition's if they enjoy ours most. This is common sense. Realtime does just that: it lets you build features and get your users to enjoy a better experience, a new experience, and thus prefer you over your competition.
Will xRTML become a standard?
Costa: That's something we are now reinforcing in the market with this release. These updates and new releases are the basis for something bigger, including the release of new products.
What in the low-hanging fruit for xRTML 3.0?
Costa: There are several industries and areas that can take advantage of xRTML 3.0 and the Realtime Framework in general. The usual suspects are financial and monitoring applications, as well as social tools, but any content publishing website will certainly benefit by using Realtime and be able to push content out in real time to its visitors. Auction and any e-commerce websites are also great examples and they can do amazing things. Another area I personally would like to see expand is gaming. With Realtime, companies can develop multiplatform, multiplayer, social games. Players can play with or against other players, no matter the platform or device. I could be at home playing an HTML5 version of the game on my browser and my friends could be playing on their tablets or smartphones. Different platforms, same communication layer: Realtime!
How will Realtime use the $100 million investment announced in August to push platform development and adoption?
Costa: As defined in our strategy, this budget is being used to optimize and develop ourproducts, with great focus on R&D. Everything that was done and is still being made for xRTML 3.0 is actually a direct example of this investment.
Where do we go from here - what can we look forward to in xRTML 4.0?
Costa: With the help of the development community and the amazing people we have working here in Realtime, we can expect some very interesting new features and tools coming our way in a not-so-distant future. Just stay tuned!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Costa: I'd like to invite developers to head to our website at www.realtime.co, register as a developer and try our tutorials at www.xrtml.org. Get in touch with us, share your creations and help us build the next iteration of the World Wide Web!
We've created some great new tutorials and new documentation. These are are brand new and very exciting since they help developers to start working with xRTML right now. They're interactive so you can see how everything works.
The documentation is a bit more clear, better organized and has a complete new layout. Developers should find things better and should be able to use it easier.

Upwelling in the Southern Ocean Topic of Physics Today Article
AOS Postdoctoral Research Associate Adele Morrison is the lead author of a recent article outlining the mechanisms and impacts of upwelling in the Southern Ocean and the role of the SOCCOM Program in investigating it. AOS DIrector Jorge Sarmiento and Thomas Frölicher (ETH Zurich) are coauthors of the article published in Physics Today.
Study Investigates the Dynamics of Marine Populations at a Global Scale
Modeling the dynamics of marine populations at a global scale - from phytoplankton to fish - is necessary if scientists are to quantify how climate change and other broad-scale anthropogenic actions affect the supply of marine-based food. A recent study led by James Watson, while a postdoc in the AOS Program, investigates the dynamics of marine populations at a global scale using a simple size-based food web model coupled to simulations of global ocean physics and biogeochemistry. GFDL Scientist Charles Stock, an AOS collaborator, and AOS Director Jorge Sarmiento are coauthors of the study published in Progress in Oceanography.
Persad Awarded AGU Outstanding Student Award Paper for Second Consecutive Year
AOS Graduate Student Geeta Persad was the recipient of an Outsanding Student Paper Award (OSPA), in the Atmospheric Sciences Section, by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) at the 2014 Fall meeting in San Francisco. Her presentation entitled, "Similarities in the Spatial Pattern of the Surface Flux Response to Present-Day Greenhouse Gases and Aerosols" was one of only 18 papers chosen for this distinction in the Atmospheric Sciences Section.
Reseachers Develop a New Way of Looking at Alkalinity Measurements
In a new study led by former AOS Associate Research Oceanographer Brendan Carter, a research associate with the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean at the University of Washington, Carter and coauthors developed a new way of looking at alkalinity measurements. Their methods allow them to better examine the chemical signatures of river water and of organisms that build their shells out of the mineral calcium carbonate. They use their new methods to determine what controls the chemical saturation of calcium carbonate, which is thought to determine in part how easy it is for organisms to build their shells out of this mineral. The authors find surface calcium carbonate saturation is primarily determined by gas exchange driven by warming and cooling, and secondarily by rain and evaporation. Calcium carbonate cycling as the shells of organisms comes in third place. J.R. Toggweiler, Bob Key and Jorge Sarmiento are coauthors of the study, published in Biogeosciences on December 19.
Study Examines Regional Atmospheric Effects of Contemporary Deforestation in the Amazon Rain Forest
A new study coauthored by AOS Graduate Student Jaya Khanna and AOS Faculty Member David Medvigy investigates the effects of Amazonian deforestation on regional hydroclimate. This numerical study shows that contemporary scale deforestation in the southern parts of the Brazilian Amazon can result in an increase in convective activity and cloudiness. The authors find that contemporary scales of deforestation can result in increase in humid conditions in the downwind deforested areas, whereas suppression of cloudiness in the upwind deforested areas. Differences in vegetation height between forested and deforested regions are found to rigger this hydroclimatic effect. This unique convective regime can have implications for climate impact studies of near future deforestation in the Amazon. The study was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres.

Abandoned Wells can be 'Super-Emitters' of Greenhouse Gas
A team of Princeton University researchers, including Denise Mauzerall (AOS Associated Faculty) has uncovered a previously unknown, and possibly substantial, source of the greenhouse gas methane to the Earth's atmosphere. After testing a sample of abandoned oil and natural gas wells in northwestern Pennsylvania, the researchers found that many of the old wells leaked substantial quantities of methane. Because there are so many abandoned wells nationwide (a recent study from Stanford University concluded there were roughly 3 million abandoned wells in the United States) the researchers believe the overall contribution of leaking wells could be significant. The paper was published Dec. 8 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Fall Foliage Season may be Later, but Longer on Warmer Earth
Climate change could postpone fall leaf peeping in some areas of the United States as summer temperatures linger later into the year, Princeton University researchers report in the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography. Trees need daily temperatures to be low enough and daylight hours to be short enough to produce the vivid vistas of fall, explained senior author David Medvigy, an assistant professor of geosciences. He and first author Su-Jong Jeong, a former AOS postdoctoral associate now at NASA, found that daily temperature and daylight hours can not only be used to predict the timing of leaf coloration, but that the influence of these factors depends on the individual tree species and the specific geographic area. full story
Recent Study Investigates the Role of Aerosol Absorption in Driving Clear-Sky Solar Dimming over East Asia
The amount of solar radiation reaching the surface is a major driver of the surface energy balance and influences regional circulation and precipitation. Over East Asia, observations show a significant reduction in clear-sky surface solar radiation since the 1960s, colloquially referred to as "dimming," primarily caused by large regional increases in anthropogenic aerosol emissions. A recent paper, led by AOS Graduate Student Geeta Persad, constitutes a novel mechanistic investigation of the drivers of East Asian clear-sky dimming that sheds light both on the nature of the observed dimming trends and on the behavior of the aerosol formulations in GFDL's models. Yi Ming, an AOS lecturer, and GFDL Director V. Ramaswamy are coauthors of the study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres.

New Study Explores Seasonal Prediction of Regional Tropical Cyclone Activity
Tropical cyclones (TCs, which include hurricanes and typhoons) are a major climate hazard across the Northern Hemisphere, and have exhibited variability and change on year-to-year timescales. In a new study led by Gabe Vecchi, a lecturer in the Department of Geosciences and the AOS Program, the authors use a new high-resolution coupled climate model (GFDL-FLOR) to assess predictions of regional seasonal TC activity produced up to three seasons in advance. The paper "On the Seasonal Forecasting of Regional Tropical Cyclone Activity" was recently published in the Journal of Climate and can be found here. GFDL Research Highlights

Baldwin Among Graduate Students Selected to Join PECS
Congratulations to AOS Graduate Student Jane Baldwin who was recently selected for the Princeton Energy Scholars (PECS) group. She is among the eight new graduate student members selected for the 2014-2015 academic year.
Understanding the mechanisms by which climate variability affects multiple trophic levels in food webs is essential for determining ecosystem responses to climate change. A new study, coauthored by AOS Visiting Research Collaborator Vincent Saba (NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service), uses over two decades of data collected by the Palmer Long Term Ecological Research program (PAL-LTER) to determine how large-scale climate and local physical forcing affect phytoplankton, zooplankton, and an apex predator along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). The authors show that positive anomalies in chlorophyll-a (chl-a) at Palmer Station, occurring every 4-6 years, are constrained by physical processes in the preceding winter/spring and a negative phase of the Southern Annular Mode (SAM). Years of positive chl-a anomalies are associated with the initiation of a robust krill cohort the following summer, which is evident in Adélie penguin diets, thus demonstrating tight trophic coupling. Projected climate change in this region may have a significant, negative impact on phytoplankton biomass, krill recruitment, and upper trophic level predators in this coastal Antarctic ecosystem. The study, led by Grace Saba (IMCS, Rutgers), was published on July 7 in Nature Communications and is available here. Related article Related article

Carrier Furnace not completing startup
Hi folks,
The cold weather is starting to arrive and I thought I'd test out my furnace to make sure it was ready. Unfortunately, it appears not. Carrier gas furnace 58PHA090 installed about 1.5 years ago, upon calling for heat kicks on the draft inducer fan and then lights up the hot surface ignitor for few few seconds and then no ignition at the burners. The ignitor turns off and the draft inducer spins down. Repeat sequence. No flashing error code on the main board (LED is on solid), checked all wiring connections tight, checked the gas valve is open, switch on the gas valve is in the "on" position. Any help is appreciated! |
I'd Check if you have gas and if your gas valve is getting 24V after the igniter lights up.
But... Your furnace should be giving you a fault led code so either the thermostat is shutting down at the same time over & over (highly unlikely) or your control board is the problem. |
check the tubes on the induced draft motor fan section and that pressure switch with one tube into it lightly blow on the tube(simulating IDM run)should close/click then open...remove the stat and jump your R to W so you have a solid call for heat the IDM is the first item to run constantly thru a heating cycle....use the furnace 115V service switch to cycle the heating cycle till you get the main burner
OK - thanks for the tips, will take a look a little later today. The last time I had something like this happening the unit would light the burners and then shut down and repeat the sequence. It turned out to have a dirty temp sensor. I'm wondering if the gas valve isn't opening, it's acting just like it's not getting any fuel to the burners. Will report back the results....
1.5 years old likely has a part warranty, call your installer back.
Yep, gas valve was stuck closed and wouldn't respond to the 24V signal. Replaced under parts warranty, unit is back up and running. Thanks everyone!
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:53 AM. |

Featured news
Now, cloud providers and managed security service providers (MSSPs) can easily deliver new security software as a service (SaaS) offerings based on DB Networks patented behavioral analysis technology for comprehensive SQL injection intrusion detection and defense.
Additionally, organizations operating virtualized data centers interested in protecting their core network can benefit from the cost savings delivered in IDS-6300v over hardware alternatives, while large enterprises can leverage its enhanced ease-of-management features.
The recent high-profile attacks on major retailers such as Target and the theft of millions of customers private information serve as a strong reminder that database networks are highly susceptible to attacks. DB Networks intelligent security virtual appliance delivers advanced and Zero-Day SQL injection attack detection. The IDS-6300v is the industrys first Core IDS as a virtual appliance that combines behavioral analysis and advanced continuous database monitoring that alerts of attacks and database network behavioral anomalies in real-time.
The solution, which enables security as a service offerings, also addresses specific compliance requirements within regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA, and NIST spec 800-53.
Current techniques using signatures and black listing require time-consuming and error-prone manual updating, and are not effective against database hackers who obfuscate their SQL injection using Advanced Evasion Techniques to conceal their attacks. DB Networks is a pioneer in applying behavioral analysis to identify rogue and weaponized SQL statements, and todays launch marks the industrys first IDS virtual appliance using behavioral analysis in the database tier. Virtualization offers the key benefits of reducing hardware costs, easing management, and optimizing resource utilization.
The IDS-6300v creates opportunities with cloud providers, MSSPs and virtualized data centers, and also opens up international markets for DB Networks. Now, DB Networks can accelerate its international traction without the need to qualify physical security appliances for local requirements. With the IDS-6300v, DB Networks avoids on-going hardware international regulatory/environmental approvals that significantly slow overseas deployment.
In addition to delivering accurate SQL injection attack detection, the new solutions continuous monitoring also adds the unique benefit of database discovery for organizations. Further, its ability to parse and analyze SQL statements offers organizations unique insight into the SQL statements being created by their applications. Coding issues involving database access instructions are rapidly identified and traced to their source where they can be remediated.
The IDS-6300v works passively as a virtual appliance and is operationally transparent. It creates a unique model of how an application creates the SQL statements that it uses to converse with the database. All SQL statements are evaluated against the model for proper behavior. Any rogue SQL statement causes the system to alarm as an attack in real-time. The behavioral learning and model creation is automated, making it much faster and more accurate than manually generating signatures or the tuning of signatures to suppress false alarms.
The DB Networks IDS-6300v intelligent security virtual appliance is available from DB Networks and from authorized resellers. Pricing starts at $20,000 with volume discounts available.
DB Networks new IDS-6300v virtual appliance further reduces complexity, making it easy for a service provider or an organization of any size to gain immediate visibility into their database traffic in a few simple steps, said Brett Helm, CEO of DB Networks. By offering both physical and virtual appliance options, DB Networks provides organizations the flexibility to choose which Core IDS solution best suits their needs and environment.

"In the past, it was cloud providers like Rackspace who tended to focus on open source cloud infrastructure, while enterprises tended to make more conservative choices where support contracts were available.
The new support from Citrix, along with about 60 other supporting commercial hardware and software vendors, should go a long way towards helping enterprises see OpenStack as an enterprise-grade choice of cloud infrastructure. Enterprises can now get a Citrix-certified version of OpenStack and a cloud-optimized version of XenServer, and Dell is providing a reference server architecture.
Rackspace Cloud Builders can design and build a private cloud for an enterprise using the OpenStack project with Project Olympus."

Candidate great option for fiscal officer
To the editor:
We are writing to ask Granger Township residents to join us in voting to keep Donald Baker as our fiscal officer. When the former fiscal officer retired, the township trustees interviewed several candidates to replace her. Baker was the best candidate based on his qualifications and experience. His extensive financial and accounting background and public service history have prepared him to be our Granger Township fiscal officer. The township trustees made the best choice possible when they named him to the position, and he's doing a great job! Now, it's our turn to make sure we keep the best qualified and most experienced candidate, Donald Baker, as our Granger Township fiscal officer on Election Day.
Jeff and Mary Ann Meola, Granger

There's Something Very Special About Jennifer Connelly's Dress
Just because the Fall 2014 collections walked the runway mere weeks ago doesn't mean we have to wait to see the wares turn up on the red carpet. In the short time since the first Fall show in New York, we've spotted the likes of Naomi Watts, Allison Williams, and Diane Kruger debuting full looks hot off the runways.
But far and away, the most anticipated moment came when Jennifer Connelly hit the red carpet in Nicolas Ghesquière's debut Louis Vuitton collection. Though Jennifer was the first, she most certainly won't be the last — as we predicted before so much as a shoe hit the runway. We're keeping tabs on which other style setters are looking to the Fall 2014 runways for their next party-ready look, right here.

Ben Savage Making Directorial Debut on 'Girl Meets World' (Exclusive)
The "Boy Meets World" star will step behind the camera on the Disney Channel comedy for an episode filming later this month; "It's something I've been prepping for for the last 20 years," he tells THR.
Boy Meets World star Ben Savage is going behind the camera.
The actor has been tapped to make his directorial debut on the Disney Channel update Girl Meets World, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. "It's something I've been prepping for for the last 20 years," Savage tells THR. Production on the episode begins at the end of the month.
According to an official episode synopsis, the installment centers on a makeover led by Cory and Topanga's teenage daughter and her friends. "In an effort to make an odd girl more appealing to Farkle (Corey Fogelmanis), Riley (Rowan Blanchard) and Maya (Sabrina Carpenter) remake her in their image," reads the description. "But Farkle shows everyone that true beauty comes from within."
VIDEO: Disney Channel's 'Girl Meets World' First Trailer Debuts
Savage follows in the footsteps of his older brother Fred, an actor (The Wonder Years, The Princess Bride) and accomplished TV director (Happy Endings, Modern Family, 2 Broke Girls). "Fred and I have had many discussions about it," the 33-year-old says. "He's always willing to offer advice and suggestions and pointers when he can. He'd be a very helpful guide as I go through this process."
For Savage, the time is right to make the leap into directing. And it certainly helps that he already had seven years of living Boy Meets World.
"It was a natural progression because I had always wanted to direct, and I felt such a personal connection to the show," he says. "It was an important piece of my life, really. Directing was a natural next step for me, and it's something I was looking forward to doing."
Savage envisions "a smooth, easy transition" that first day he steps onto the downtown L.A. set as a newly minted director. "It's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be exciting and it's going to be an interesting experience," he says, hopeful that it will lead to directing gigs outside of the show.

As with a lot of multicamera shows filmed mostly in front of a live studio audience, Girl Meets World "is very fluid and the episodes themselves are being changed even throughout the week that they're being produced and directed. That's part of the process," Savage says. "That being said, it's a process I've grown up with and it's a process that I've grown accustomed to."
Some of Savage's favorite directors have been, not surprisingly, actors -- most specifically William Russ, who plays Cory's father in both the original show and the update. "He was so passionate about the project and he knew the story really well," Savage recalls. "I tend to favor directors that are actors, and I think it was something I was always interested in. This show is the perfect place for me to jump in."
Savage remains unfazed by the pressures of his upcoming stint behind the camera and the attention surrounding it, especially by those who have been with Boy Meets World since 1993. "One of the wonderful things about the show is we have a loyal fan base, and they've been with us since the beginning and they haven't left us," he says. "That's one thing we will always appreciate and never take for granted."
Girl Meets World premieres later this year on Disney Channel.

New Orleans Celebrates: Bicentennial of the War of 1812
200 Years of Naval History Comes Life in New Orleans
Nola Navy Week is returning to New Orleans April 23-29, 2015. Please continue to check back here as we update tour schedules, berthing maps, and other information about the 2015 event!
In 2012, New Orleans served as the inaugural city in a three-year national celebration commemorating the War of 1812 and the Star-Spangled Banner, and this spring, the U.S. Navy will return to close the celebration out along the banks of the Mississippi River. From April 23-29, 2015, a colorful spectacle of ships will on the East Bank of the Mississippi River from Thalia Street to Esplanade Avenue.
The visiting ships will be open for public visiting, and citizens will have the opportunity to interact with sailors from around the world. In addition to the Navy fleet lining the Port, activities will include official visits among regional dignitaries and Navy leadership, visiting sailors engaged in friendly sporting competitions, a seafood cook-off, and regional outreach and community service projects by visiting sailors.
"From 2012 to 2015, the United States Navy and its partners, including Operation Sail, Inc., will commemorate the War of 1812 and the writing of our national anthem, the Star- Spangled banner," U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said. "It is remarkable that 200 years ago, one of the first wars in our country's history was fought against nations who have become our closest allies."
"Bringing the tall ships of the world back to U.S. waters for the commemoration of this glorious American milestone excites the imagination," said chairman of Operation Sail, Inc., Jose Fuentes. "Throughout 2012-2015, millions of people will witness these graceful and majestic sailing ships as they parade in together, and celebrate brotherhood of the sea, and of our freedoms."

Who Runs the World: Beyoncé Sings New Song in H&M's Summer Commercial
H&M has tapped Beyoncé to be the face of its Summer campaign. And with her Mrs. Carter world tour under way, today marks the simultaneous launch of the singer's H&M commercial, too. The video, along with the campaign images, show Beyoncé lounging on the beach in the Bahamas, looking (not surprisingly) amazing in a flurry of H&M swimwear and beachy cover-ups. But here's the best part: the commercial also features her new song, "Standing on the Sun," which feels (and sounds) just as Summer-perfect as the pieces she's wearing. Click on for a look at the commercial, plus the latest campaign images, inside the gallery.

Originally written on
Oregon Sports News
Last updated 11/18/14
An untethered Nicolas Batum, as opponents are learning, is dangerous. During 4 seasons playing for former Portland Trail Blazers Coach Nate McMillan, Batum made steady progress. Joining the Blazers as a 19-year-old, Batum increased his scoring from 5.4 ppg his rookie season to 13.9 ppg during the 2011-2012 season. As Batum's game matured, Nate McMillan's utilization of the budding star from France did not. McMillan's death slog isolation offense often found Batum positioned in the corners of the court waiting for a spot up three. This role in the offense seemed to frustrate Batum and for good reason. McMillan was micro-managing him. This season in Terry Stotts' free flowing motion offense, Batum is unleashed and his potential is being realized.
For his steady progress and loads of potential, the 23-year Batum was rewarded handsomely in the offseason. After a bidding war ensued between the Blazers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Batum inked a 4 year, $45 million deal to remain in Portland. These types of contracts come with expectations and thus far Batum is meeting them. After 9 games, Batum is filling out the stat sheet on both offense and defense. On offense he is averaging 20.8 ppg, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. On defense, which he has long been known as a lock down defender, he is averaging 1.3 blocks, and 2.3 steals per game.
Statistics are impressive, but big numbers alone do not always translate into victories. What is most notable about Batum's play in this young season is his developing leadership and his ability to take over games. Against the Houston Rockets at the Rose Garden on Friday, November 16th, Batum led a 3rd quarter comeback that was not only impressive but a lot of fun to watch. He did everything but sell popcorn. Batum drained deep three point shots with ease. At one point he scored 11 consecutive points in route to scoring 35, tying his career best. On defense he was amazing. Batum's length and knack for timing blocks on opponent's shots is impeccable. He tallied 5 blocks versus the Rockets, including a late game snub of a James Harden drive to the hoop. It is worth noting that he did all this with a bit of swagger. A humble confidence he reveals in sly jaunty smirks.
As a team, the Blazers have a core collection of young talented players. For Nicolas Batum, he is young, but this is his fifth year in the league. It is safe to say his career is ascending. It seems what Blazer fans are witnessing is a cross roads for a budding young team and a young star. With this a brand of basketball is ensuing that is exciting and electrifying. A maturing young team and a rising star in Nicolas Batum, Rip City should be abuzz for many years to come.
