Re: do I need virus protection on my MacBook Pro in response to ElyaMorYou don't need anti-malware software beyond that bundled with Mac OS X unless you're running Windows on the computer. If you want to detect Windows malware but aren't running Windows, download and use ClamXav or Sophos.
Linc Davis Jun 10, 2013 9:13 PM
Re: do I need virus protection on my MacBook Pro in response to ElyaMor1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.The following caveats apply to XProtect:- It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
- It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:- It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
- A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
- An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.5. XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?- Any website that prompts you to install a "codec," "plug-in," "player," "extractor," or "certificate" that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
- A web operator who tells you that you have a "virus," or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
- Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
- Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
- Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
- Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer's website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
- Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
Follow the above guidelines, and you'll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav— nothing else.Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?- Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
- In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
- By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exeClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.9. The greatest harm done by security software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging "zero-day" threats, but if they get a false sense of security from it, they may feel free to do things that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.10. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

Dustin Hoffman breaks down crying explaining something that every woman sadly already experienced.
Back in the day, for those of you younger folk, Dustin Hoffman made a movie called "Tootsie." (iTunes.) It was a hilarious and touching movie about an actor who can't get a gig, decides to become a woman to see if it helps, and scores a role on a soap opera. Hilarity ensued. But it was more than just a comedy. Here's why.
I'd love it if you could share and tweet this. It's totally up to you though.

No. 4 seed Syracuse built up an 18-point lead in the first half and went on to post a 61-50 victory over No. 1 seed Indiana on Thursday in the East Region semifinals. It was the lowest point total of the season for the Hoosiers.
The Orange (29-9) will face Marquette on Saturday at 4:30 EST in the East Region title game after holding Indiana to 33.3 percent shooting from the field.
"The one thing that teams don't see is how long we are until they are approaching our zone defense," said Syracuse forward James Southerland, who had seven rebounds, three blocks and three steals to go with five points.
"Not too many teams are used to our zone," said Syracuse guard Brandon Triche, who had 14 points. "We are very long. We are very active. We are hard to score on."
Syracuse forced a season-high 19 turnovers by IU and had 12 steals and 10 blocks against the Hoosiers, who ended the season 29-7 as top players Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo were not definitive on their possible NBA plans.
"Let's face it: We haven't seen a zone like that," said Tom Crean, the Indiana head coach. "The stat of the day is we did not take care of the ball. We get never get out of the hump. They played well. They deserved it. They move on and we call it a great year."
"They have great length," Crean added. "They swarm to the ball. They are very good. It just wasn't meant to be."
"Our defense has been good all year," said Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim. "Tonight I thought it was very good. We made some really good defensive plays against them."
Syracuse (29-9) got 24 points from Michael Carter-Williams and C.J. Fair had 11 points and nine rebounds.
Indiana (29-7) was led by local product Victor Oladipo, who had 16 points while Christian Watford had 13 and Cody Zeller had 10 points and nine boards.
Zeller was asked if he had played his last game for the Hoosiers.
"I have put everything into this," he said. "I have not thought about it one bit."
"I have been focusing on Indiana Hoosier basketball," Oladipo said, when asked about his future. "I will never forget this team."
Crean said he will be "a voice of reason" when talking to Zeller and Oladipo about their pro aspirations and draft prospects.
Syracuse, which led 34-22 at halftime, saw its lead cut to 34-27 on a basket by Oladipo early in the second half. His 3-pointer cut the lead to 38-32 with 14:10 left in the game.
But the Orange took a 51-37 lead on a 3-pointer by Carter-Williams with 9:05 to go and Triche scored to make it 56-40 with 5:37 left.
Southerland of Syracuse made two free throws with 1:45 left to make it 60-46 as IU fans began to head to the exits around midnight, perhaps to catch the Metro which stayed open one hour later than normal due to the late start of Thursday's second game.
"We just wanted to get to the basket," Triche said. "We didn't want to shoot too many jumpers. We just did a good job of getting to the lane and getting them in foul trouble."
Syracuse was 15 of 20 from the foul line while IU was 15 of 24.
The Orange won even though they had just four assists on 21 field goals.
Syracuse led by 18 points late in the first half before Watford hit a 3-pointer to make it 31-20 with 1:31 left.
After a basket and free throw by Fair made it 34-20, a basket by Indiana's Will Sheehey trimmed the Syracuse lead to 34-22 at the break.
Carter-Williams had 12 first-half points to lead all scorers, and his team made 14 of 30 shots from the field (46.7 percent). Triche added eight points in the first half.
Indiana was limited to 19 first-half shots from the field and made only seven while committing 12 turnovers against the tough Syracuse zone defense.

Review: Bacardi Superior White Rum
Posted by Arctic Wolf on April 10, 2011
In 1862, Facundo Bacardi and his brother José bought the Santiago de Cuba Distillery and began to distill what would become the most popular commercial rum in the world. Using a method of charcoal filtering, and oak barrel aging along with a still of copper and cast iron, Facundo Bacardi created a smoother more refined version of the locally made rum. His smoother version of the spirit became local favourite, and over time, an international sensation.
Bacardi Superior White Rum is a direct descendant of the original rum which Facundo Bacardi produced back in 1862. Although production methods have undoubtedly changed since then, the Bacardi White Rum is still produced using a method of oak barrel aging (for one to two years) and charcoal filtration.
Here is an excerpt from my review:

All City Chess Club is back at it again. What y'all think of the new Diggy video?
ALL CITY CHESS CLUB: Diggy- What They Been Waiting For
Latest News
Filed under:32
All City Chess Club is back at it again. What y'all think of the new Diggy video?
MYSOM u really need to sit and take shit for what it is and stop trying to compare it to something else. If you take away the performance and just listened, u can see kid has potential. Stays on topic and speaks honestly with his lyrics. I think he had a hard time flowin on this beat but he gave a real good effort. I was impressed with his mixtape and I think he just needs to match his lyrics with his performance. I think it was a little forced and he was trying to do too much. But I definitely wouldn't give up on this kid. He can make it if he does it the right way. Gettin mixed up with All City Chess Club will do wonders for him. Stay up Diggy and keep at it.
wait now c i didnt even know he was already rich or i dont know who his dad is either, but yeah maybe thats what he want to do with his life..but u know even if your rich you have to show your kids what its like to struggle and not always get what you want, tho chances are he has had easier access to labels and whatnot. I mean im not really here to judge but hey like i said he cool..there are no accidents and no victims..he was just born blessed, on the contrary he should be tuaght what the real world is like then he can come back harder than this. thats my analogy.
nah...sorry kid its not that you look like you need to go somewhere and do your homework and be in bed by 8:15...but your flow does not exist and this song sounds like your ego trying to make a point..but fails terribly at delivery and content cause you use to many of the same words...and your flow is just dead your riding the beat tooo much..change it up some and dont be predictable, spontaneous and cleverly creative lyrical structure brought people like NAs, Mos Def, KRS One, Eminem and many more their legacy...these are lupe fans your presenting to, WE KNOW THIS SHIT.. you want to get big? go join young money or go solo as "Diggy" and use your riches and popularity to make you even more rich and popular..don't bring that crap here we wont take it

We have a great junior, we get excited, she fails to meet expectations and we become irrationally disappointed and upset. This is why I didn't jump on the Gracie bandwagon.

I think sometimes people jump to conclusions way too quickly, in both directions.

Good on Alex and any other team members for the release. I asked him on his blog if this was gonna hit 4.11 or 4.12-- waiting on a reply so far, but I'm optimistic. It's a little unintuitive in some ways, and a lot better in others but I'm sure that will be refined and worked on subsequent releases.
For anyone wanting to try it without having to build it themselves... Fedora 19 KDE is shipping with it, regardless of what version of KDE SC it actually makes it into, and is included on the Beta images.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) - Backup doping tests have come back positive for former 100-meter world record-holder Asafa Powell, teammate Sherone Simpson and three other island athletes.
The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission said the athletes' second samples were tested at a Montreal lab accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
It says all five athletes have been notified and the findings will be passed on to the Jamaican Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel so hearings can be scheduled.
Paul Doyle, the agent for Powell and Simpson, did not immediately respond to a Friday email seeking comment. The athletes and their agent have focused on a new physical trainer, Christopher Xuereb of Canada, saying supplements he provided caused the positive tests.
However, Xuereb has said he didn't give the sprinters performance-enhancing drugs and suggested he was a scapegoat.
Powell and Simpson tested positive for the banned stimulant oxilofrone at Jamaica's national championships in June. Discus throwers Allison Randall and Travis Smikle, along with a junior athlete, also tested positive for prohibited substances at the same meet.
Powell was the last man to hold the 100-meter world record before teammate Usain Bolt broke it in 2008. He also helped the island win the 400-meter relay gold at the 2008 Olympics. Simpson won Olympic gold in the women's 400 relay in 2004 and silver in 2012, along with silver in the 100 in 2008.
The two Jamaican sprinting stars and trainer Xuereb were formally placed under criminal investigation in Italy following a hotel raid in July the northern resort town of Lignano Sabbidadora, where the Jamaicans have been training for years.
This week, an Italian prosecutor said their criminal doping investigation has been delayed because they have been unable to contact the athletes to ask whether they wish to observe the testing of substances sequestered during the police raid.
Meanwhile, a Jamaican disciplinary panel is deliberating a verdict after a four-day closed-door hearing on a positive doping test by another marquee sprinter, three-time Olympic gold medalist Veronica Campbell-Brown. The panel includes a former judge, a former senior military official and the head of the island's medical association.
One of Campbell-Brown's lawyers representing her at the hearing was P.J. Patterson, a former prime minister who led Jamaica from 1992-2006 and remains a highly influential figure on the island.
The 31-year-old champion sprinter is the 2004 and 2008 Olympic winner in the 200. She also won gold in the 4x100 relay at the 2004 Athens Games. In London, she won bronze in the 100 and silver as part of the 4x100 relay team. She was suspended from competition in June after testing positive for a banned diuretic at a meet in May in Jamaica, according to a top Jamaican anti-doping official.
But the doping case involving Campbell-Brown appears to involve a "lesser" offense of unintentional use of a banned substance, IAAF spokesman Nick Davies told The Associated Press in June.
The doping positives of three of the island's sprinting stars have staggered many in Jamaica, where track athletes are beloved and global domination in sprinting is a huge source of national pride.
In recent days, Renee Anne Shirley, the former executive of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission, has made waves in Jamaica after revealing a number of "troubling" problems during her brief tenure as the top official. She has disclosed that the commission did not have the staff to carry out rigorous anti-doping programs and just one out-of-competition test was done between February 2012 and the start of the London Olympics five months later.
The anti-doping commission has responded defensively, saying it has viewed with "deep concern the utterances by various persons in the public sphere in their attempt to discredit the work of JADCO, its commissioners, the government of Jamaica and the success of Jamaican athletes."
Since starting testing in May 2009, JADCO says it has conducted 876 tests - 504 in-competition and 272 out-of-competition.

Carnaby Street is a stunning new musical, set against the backdrop of London's West End in the Sixties, the famous clubs, trendy fashions and eccentric characters, at a time full of hope and freedom, when the world is changing and anything seems possible. A fabulous celebration of the sixties, featuring the timeless music of The Beatles, Manfred Mann, The Animals, The Searchers, The Kinks, The Who and other great bands of the era. Directed by Bob Tomson (Blood Brothers, Dreamboats and Petticoats) and designed by Matthew Wright (Evita, La Cage aux Folles). Carnaby Street tells the story of Jude, a working class boy from Liverpool, new in town and armed with nothing but his guitar and his dreams of fame and fortune. We follow the highs and lows, the passion and heartbreak, of his journey in pursuit of stardom.
Sorry there are no shows for Carnaby Street right now.

About ParaNorman
The company who made the beautifully original Coraline are behind this creepy family comedy. In the town of Blithe Hollow, Norman Babcock (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is something of an outcast. Nobody believes that he can see and talk to the spirits of the dead, his family are disturbed by his addiction to zombie movies and he is bullied at school by Alvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). The closest thing he has to a friend is the eccentric Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), who is also picked on for being overweight. One day Norman's uncle (John Goodman) warns him of the effects of a curse created by the town's dark past, and the town's founding fathers rise from their graves as zombies and cause trouble. Norman's unusual gift makes him the only one who can restore peace.

Stretching from China in the east to the Caspian Sea in the west, the countries of Central Asia have a population of more than 65 million and represent a wide diversity of ethnic groups, languages and clans. The physical landscape is dramatic, ranging from vast steppes to high, rugged mountains, formidable deserts to large rivers, lakes and seas.
Chad, one of the poorest countries in the world, has experienced decades of conflict and instability. Since the 2010 peace agreement with neighboring Sudan, however, the country has enjoyed relative stability. Beginning in 2000, foreign direct investment in the oil sector has boosted revenues from oil production. However, the health situation remains bleak: Chadians face one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the world, high infant mortality and a life expectancy of less than 50 years.
USAID's Regional Development Mission for Asia (RDMA), in Bangkok, supports programs in China across several sectors.
USAID is helping China promote clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is working with China to improve environmental law and environmental governance. Activities also will strengthen environmental due diligence among national agencies and the private sector and reduce China's environmental footprint.
Colombia is a middle-income country and one of the oldest democracies in Latin America. However, it has endured nearly half a century of intense armed conflict, perpetuated by widespread illegal drug production and trafficking.
Since 1999, Côte d'Ivoire has experienced numerous coups d'états and bloody civil conflicts. The current president was elected in free and fair elections, although his predecessor was forced from office. There is now hope for consolidation of the democratic transition and lasting stability. Historically prosperous, Côte d'Ivoire's economy was significantly disrupted by the years of political turmoil. The country's relatively good transportation and communications infrastructure, however, is a valuable asset.
"Cuba's future must be freely determined by the Cuban people. Sadly, that has not been the case for decades, and it is not the case today. The people of Cuba deserve the same rights, freedoms and opportunities as anyone else. And so the United States is going to continue supporting the basic rights of the Cuban people." --President Barack Obama, December 19, 2011
USAID supports cooperation between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities to reduce tensions and promote a climate that will foster reconciliation and a durable peace settlement on the long divided island.
In November 2011, the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) voted in their second national election since independence. While these elections are critically important, the country—with a population of over 71 million—faces multiple challenges. Due to the persistent presence of armed groups, ongoing insecurity continues to destabilize eastern DRC. Other challenges include rampant corruption, inadequate infrastructure and human resources, and a limited capacity to raise and manage revenues.
Djibouti's location in a conflict-prone region—with Yemen, Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia at its borders—combined with its commitment to peaceful, moderate views makes it a unique and strategic partner for the United States. Djibouti is home to one of the few warehouses, not based in the United States, that prepositions American food aid for Africa and Asia, thus reducing the delivery times to areas in need by 75 percent.
For the past 50 years, USAID has responded to the needs of the Dominican Republic. The Agency currently helps improve governance and reduce corruption across the country and supports the government's implementation of the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement. We also help small businesses and rural communities take advantage of free trade opportunities and employment generation, while protecting natural resources and biodiversity.
Through the East Africa regional program, USAID works across borders to strengthen food security, improve economic growth, prevent conflict, and improve health systems, with a particular focus on fighting HIV/AIDS. These activities span the Great Lakes region of Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, and the Horn of Africa region that includes Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia.
For over three decades, the American people through USAID have helped to improve the quality of life for Egyptians through nationwide programs in health, education, governance, and economic development.
USAID's portfolio in Ethiopia is one of the largest and most complex in Africa.
Over the last decade, Ethiopia has made tremendous development gains in education, health and food security. Despite the regular cycle of drought that affects parts of the country, the number of emergency beneficiaries has dropped from 15 million in 2003 to an estimated 2.7 million in 2014. GDP growth has reached nine percent. The addition of 38,000 health extension workers has helped reduce the under five child mortality rate by more than five percent a year.
Ghana is a stable, democratic country with a free press, active civil society, independent judiciary and apolitical military. The country's economy grew by 7.1 percent in 2013. USAID and the Ghanaian Government work together to generate prosperity and security for both the Ghanaian and the American people by increasing agricultural production, employment opportunities, and income for the poor, improving the quality of health services and education, and strengthening local government institutions.
High levels of violence and insecurity, and historic inequality in Guatemala contribute to increased crime rates, high levels of poverty, and some of the lowest social development indicators in Latin America. Guatemala also is extremely vulnerable to natural disasters and the impacts of climate change. However, Guatemala also has a wealth of human and natural resources that can contribute to economic growth and increased stability.
For the first time since independence, Guinea finds itself at an optimistic crossroads, with concrete opportunities for political and socio-economic development. December 2010 saw the inauguration of the first democratically elected president in the country's history, marking Guinea's emergence from more than a half century of dictatorships and political repression.
In Guyana, USAID programs focus on health, economic growth, and democracy and governance.
The health program strengthens public health systems and works to ensure the availability of comprehensive care; enhances civil-society and private-sector responses to HIV/AIDS; provides HIV prevention services; and improves supply-chain management of drugs and other supplies.

He might, but overall I don't see him getting much playing time at all, unless Monty can teach him a few things. The guy can jump out of the building, but nothing much more than that.
. |
With just Al-Farouq Aminu and rookie Darius Miller as the current SF's on the roster, Warrick may see some time at SF given the depth along the frontline. We suspect Ryan Anderson could also see some time at SF as well if the Hornets want to use big lineups that feature Anthony Davis and one of Robin Lopez or Jason Smith at center. Regardless, we don't see Warrick accruing any sort of sustainable fantasy value.

"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
He def. will, unless injury, I don't see him playing anywhere else.
And in response to raff I actually think he gets PT. Offensively, there aren't many backups in the league that can stop Warrick. Aminu's weakness (offense) is Warrick's strength. I want to get miller minutes but he may be the one not seeing the floor too often.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Imagine a lineup of Vasquez - Gordon - Davis - Smith - Lopez. Do you guys think we might see this lineup any this season? So much versatility with our roster. I really like that. Monty should be able to match up with just about anything with this roster.
I don't think we will see that line-up, but we probably will see Vasquez, Gordon, Anderson, Davis and Lopez playing together from time to time, which would still leave us a nice bench.
Never trust a report that blatantly leaves out a player. Xavier Henry will play SF, giving the Hornets three SF's, plus Ryan Anderson in spot duty. There are less people in Warrick's way at his natural position of PF.
Warrick would be an awful SF. He can't score from the perimeter and he can't defend perimeter players. He would be an abomination from the wing.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
I'm not saying you take that lineup against the Heat or Thunder. But on average? It's not like a team will forget their whole strategy and say "You know, they have Davis Anderson and Lopez out there. Let's attack them with our 3, even though he's not really a go to guy."
Besides, they have to guard us too. What are they going to do when Davis does "play SF" and we run a pick and roll with him and Gordon?
It isnt really about offense, im not worried about that. when you start getting into potential lineups its mainly about the defensive end. On offense, we cannot dictate who will guard our guys (ex. If the lakers want to, they can put howard on davis). On defense, we can control who plays what position, so if we want davis to play sf, he can, on the defensive end.
You are absolutely right, they would have to defend us, but teams that put smaller, faster guys on the floor would hurt that lineup even with that length. I want our bigs to play big, and i dont want davis anywhere near the wing, pretty much eliminating his (team-helping, not 1 on 1) shot blocking/rebounding talents.
Don't think we'd play man to man with a line up like that.
Not to mention that if we really are going to be bound by calling things by positions, it'd be Anderson who does the majority of guarding the wing in that particular lineup.

Ain't it man? I don't even totally agree with what I'm saying. Just talkin' cuz we're in that summer doldrums period between Summer League and the start of training camps and mild debate passes the time while I kick writer's block in the teeth.
We need to go all zone this year.
Davis was a stud when playing the zone center in the Olympics.
Could New Orleans Hornets rookie power forward Anthony Davis see some action at small forward this year?
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultOn the surface, it would appear that players such as Al-Farouq Aminu and rookie Darius Miller would be the team's primary option this season at the small forward position, or even veteran acquisition Ryan Anderson.
But Hornets Coach Monty Williams offered an intriguing candidate as a possible part of the position's rotation on Tuesday: Anthony Davis.
In saying that no one has yet to step up and dominate the battle for the position, Williams said if the Hornets went to a big lineup, Davis could play the three.
"Anthony moreso than Ryan," Williams said. "The more I watch those guys play, Anthony has the skill set where he can play the wing a little bit. Ryan is really good at playing the four and learning those sets should be easier for him. But we don't know."

My team is 28-17 and I had no All-Stars.
I, my friend, have that distinction, or at least tied for worst... Ugh I'm horrible at this sim league. 2-4 this time. Didn't look like the Grizz got blown out as bad as they have been though, unless I missed it. And I'm sure they're attendance is horrible, no wonder why they're moving to Memphis next year lol
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
Yeah, Central Division is nuts. I'm in the 7th or 8th playoffs spot in the East.... but dropping like its hot.. So Ihad to make some changes that could make or break my team... we'll see tho!
Meh... easy schedule went 2-2, no allstars. I don't know what to do.
Mike Miller and Tim Thomas are out. Miller for FORTY games for a broken leg. Damn, man...
Atleast I won the Dunk Contest with Steve Francis. Highlight of the season lol

Players looking for the familiar maneuverability and control of the Pure Storm won't be disappointed in version. The Pure Storm GT maintains a crisp and clean feel but manages to offer a more stable, solid feel with the inclusion of GT technology, a mix of graphite and tungsten, in the frame. Aggressive players will find it easy to take advantage of the spin friendly nature of the Pure STorm GT. Though players who like to take big cuts at the ball will find plenty of pop to put away the ball, in the tradition of player's frames, the Pure Storm is control oriented by nature. Our TW playtesters found enough control that they could hit out from the baseline without fear of having shots fly. At net, the racquet offered superb maneuverability, a crisp feel and good control.

About Scary Movie 5
The parody series that has long since moved past only spoofing horror movies now sends up every blockbuster, celebrity scandal and popular mobile phone advert. This instalment loses the franchise's heroine Cindy (Anna Faris) and her friends and is instead a broad parody of the Paranormal Activity series. It also chucks in Black Swan, Inception and Ted among others. Married couple Dan (Simon Rex) and Jody (Ashley Tisdale) notice that strange things start happening when they bring their newborn son Aiden home from the hospital and decide to film all proceedings in the most obnoxious and nonsensical way possible. More terrifying than the lame acting and dodgy special effects are the time-ravaged faces of Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen who turn up for some easy money.

I feel like I'm going to discover pokemon battling all over again - I literally cannot wait to transfer my almost-complete collection of pokemon over from my copy of White so I see what the diferent pokemon and moves look like in this new battling style.
I wonder how the battling scenes will account for size? If I play a bulbasaur versus a wailord, will my foe tower over the 3D battlefield? That would be excellent.
I'm also intrigued to see how pokemon look when they have low hp or faint - as sprites, their movements grew slower when they had low hp and their sprites disappeared when they fainted. Now, with the new 3D forms, will they appear bruised or dazed when they have low hp and actually topple over when they faint? Seems a bit darker.
Also, I'm curious to see how certain moves look that involve throwing projectials at your foe, like rock throw or rock tomb. In the games it always seemed odd for the projectials to just suddenly appear, and I'm curious to see how they handle it.
Finally, I'm excited to see how moves like Fly and Bounce look, to see whether you actually leave to battle screne now, or whether the camera view zooms out to follow your movements.
They look pixelated and jaggy - hardly pretty graphics, IMO. Though I'm more miffed about the character proportions and texturing, personally. Look at Audino in this screenshot, or Pikachu in this one. Their sprites in BW/B2W2 were far more lively than their freaky 3D incarnations.
Think the cel-shading looks great myself.
And we all saw this blown up on our PC / Smartdevices - it's gonna look alot better in it's native 3DS [and 3D] form.
I think the graphics and all the details of the world are really good, and they're taking a step in the right direction.
it sort of reminds me of XD/Colloseum/PBR.
As a spriter i'll miss the sprites, but who knows, maybe they might have some in the game usable.
That's what happened in XD/COlloseum actually, lol.I'm also intrigued to see how pokemon look when they have low hp or faint - as sprites, their movements grew slower when they had low hp and their sprites disappeared when they fainted. Now, with the new 3D forms, will they appear bruised or dazed when they have low hp and actually topple over when they faint? Seems a bit darker.
but i am also interested about how they will pull fainting in moves off. i notice at one point during the trailer it shows the pokemon getting CLOSE UP and attacking the opponent, so meh.

I guess. I'm just really going to miss the sprites. I'm sure fans will continue to make their own but still I feel like we've lost a big part of the main games.
I do like the cell-shading, it looks nice. I just wish it hadn't replaced the sprites.
I'm just guessing that by the time we get to October things will look better. Sprites change during the course of development. So don't take any of the images for face value right now

I just don't like the new art direction. Part of the reason I enjoyed the games was the that they were sprite based. On top of that, thanks to Nintendo's disposition to focus on a gimmick of a system instead of actual power the models are of a quality that wouldn't have been considered good even years ago
I have nothing against it being in the 3D model format I am actually really looking forward to it, I think it will enhance the feeling of being 'part of' the game. I am however saddened that we won't have sprites. Hopefully there will be a 3D PokéDex that has an onscreen pixel/sprite version of the new Pokémon for an in-game 2D effect.
I agree with posts commenting on hopefully having fluidity between areas, it's a small gripe, but I don't like the cut to black screen we have with the current games.

the battles look sick!
The video starts with the trainer looking in a mirror, maybe we finally get customisation? Perfect place to start the game is we do.
I think the sprites will be in the Pokedex, if not, well, it's a good "sacrifice" xD
still, loved the trailer, especially the Y Legendary, looks awesome
They nailed it, It's cel shaded, they just need to smooth the edges, but they've got more than half a year, so I'm confident.
The only thing that will annoy me is "I'm waiting for pokemon-z" comments. I see this being the "Gold &Silver" for Black and White. I am happy that there aren't any Dragon cover legendaries.
I've never heard of warnerbroman.
You can't stop staring can you?
Really do not like the look of the over-world graphically, hopefully it will grow on me
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity

One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Not yet. If there will be 3 games, Pokémon Z might have a dragon on it i think. Since the first 2 revealed legends seems to be based of theYygdrasill legend, which had 3 creatures living within it: an eagle and a deer (which we can see now) and a wyrm (which is actually some kind of dragon)

I absolutly love the graphics and have been waiting for main games to have battles like in mystery dungeon. Can't wait ^^

People need to understand that yes this is a big jump forward and yes it's very different but trust me it just will take some getting used to. I can't imagine how beautiful the final games will look on my 3ds xl XD
I like the new look, both the overworld and the in battle views are step forwards but still look like the mainstream Pokemon games. I would've been a little unhappy if they had went into the direction of Pokemon Colosseum, but since the graphics still have the feel of Pokemon games, I'm happy with them.
The best thing GF has done is added the ability to transfer over Pokemon from older version to B2/W2. I hope they either keep this feature or make all Pokemon available in the 2 versions.
I didn't check right, but do huge Pokemon like Golurk look big enough to resemble their actual sizes?
I'm asking this because I don't want a Wailord the size of my bed standing next to my Lucario.

DLIFLC's accreditation is reaffirmed
MONTEREY, Calif. - In mid-July, a few months after their March evaluation visit to the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, the
Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges reaffirmed DLIFLC's accreditation for the next six years.
"When we pass these very thorough inspections that have very high standards, we are showing that not only are we meeting the requirements as a military training institution, but also those that even academic institutions don't meet," said the Provost, Dr. Donald C. Fischer, Ph.D.
In addition to meeting all of the requirements set forth by the accreditation team, DLIFLC received nine commendations, mainly focused on student learning outcomes, which was the emphasis of this particular accreditation cycle. Out of nine schools due for the self study and evaluation visit this past spring, DLIFLC was one of only three schools to be reaffirmed.
DLIFLC's Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Accreditation Officer, Dr. Robert Savukinas, Ed.D., explained that being accredited not only affects the students of the Institute, but also the public. "Strictly from the student perspective, it tells them that the content and rigor of their instruction is of college level. In addition to that, DLIFLC's regional accreditation assures the public that DLIFLC is delivering quality instruction and student support services," he said.
For Dr. Savukinas and his team, accreditation is a lengthy and on-going process. Throughout every six-year cycle, they must address any recommendations made by the ACCJC, submit a midterm report, compile an institutional self-study, which generally takes two years, and participate in a comprehensive site visit. Through these measures and others, the institute must demonstrate that it is meeting the accreditation standards throughout each six-year accreditation cycle.
"Not only is it an honor, but a testimony to the hard work that our faculty and staff do in order to create our product, which is vital to the security of the United States," said Fischer.
This year the self-study document was comprised of more than 500 pages and 700 pieces of evidence to represent areas such as institutional mission, student learning programs and services, resources (including library, technology, financial and human), and governance, which includes leadership and board operations.
Now that the institute's accreditation has been reaffirmed, the reaffirmation process will begin again. As a federal degree granting institution, DLIFLC must maintain its accreditation in order to continue awarding Associate of Arts degrees.
Dr. Gary Williams, Ed.D., a member of the accreditation team, commended DLIFLC by saying, "I can see, certainly in light of all that's happened in this decade, how critical it is to have a well-trained, broadly-educated military, but also experts in different cultures, how vital it is for us to succeed in those missions that we have around the world. To see that this institution is at the forefront of that effort is really just impressive."

Hi, on this new: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item&px=ODYyNA you said that it was a big success.
Nobody has never published linux market share for "hardcore" games. Could you put a bit of pressure to have actual numbers?
I never understood why people think it okay to count random website share to deduce the linux gaming market share.
