Why the SimCity beta nonsense should be a reminder to backup your Steam games
EULAs are a load of crap. We all know this. No one reads them, they can rarely be enforced and are worth nothing in law.
But they do highlight one thing: That you are entering into an agreement.
This is an asymmetrical agreement. Whether it's EA, Valve, or however else you get your games, you are getting service from the service provider. And they are king. (Of their service that they provide).
You have no rights to recieve this service; its provision to you can be terminated at will, without reason.
And that happens. You've heard of the EA bans and the Steam bans. These companies do not have to be reasonable. They do not have to hear you out.
Moreover: These decisions are not made by large, (in)fallible organisations. They are made by people. Customer service people sitting in front of a computer that can ban you at will. No matter if they misunderstand things or get things wrong; they're just doing their job.
All that stands between you and the loss of all those games is some guy just doing their job. You have as much chance of being a 'false positive' as everyone else. You cannot assume that these people are gonna be reasonable with you.
The take-home is that:
It doesn't matter that the EULA contains astoundingly arbitrary reasons for possible bans. Because if they ban you, it can be for anything they like, EULA or no EULA. As arbitrary as they like (and, moreover, they probably won't discuss why they banned you with you)
You can do two things:
1) Hope that you won't ever fall foul of some guy doing their job.
2) Backup your games
Get a large, cheap, external HDD. Whenever you download a Steam/Origin/Greenman/Gamersgate/Gog etc. game, make a backup. Then, whenever Steam, EA, or a game-download site ban you (or go bust) you can just crack your games and play them.Originally Posted by CROCONOUGHTKEY
Honestly, if you are going to crack them you might as well not bother backing up. Especially because incremental patches are hard to come by these days so you'll be re-archiving every time a new patch comes out.
Also, while RPS sensationalized the EULA there, it really is a no-brainer: EA remembers the flak ArenaNet got when they banned people for exploiting bugs in an attempt to ruin the in-game economy, so they are going with an overly strong EULA that they can choose to pull out when needed (and ignore otherwise). Like many laws/fineable offenses.
A perfect example would be: in my state (not sure country-wise), new drivers below the age of 18 are given envelopes to keep their licenses in that basically say "Underage driver, should not be driving at night and what nots". And removing the license from said envelope before you turn 18 is against the law. No cop will EVER have a checkpoint where they inspect wallets, but if you are being stopped for something else (drunk/reckless driving, for example), it conveniently provides another charge that can be placed (that is a lot harder to fight).Steam: Gundato
PSN: Gundato
If you want me on either service, I suggest PMing me here first to let me know who you are.
That's a very silly law.
It's still up in the air whether EULAs are legally viable.
That said, you're basically just advocating software piracy as a form of consumer protection...
...and I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.

Um. Would this not be a reason not to use Origin? Considering Steam offer both DRM free options to Devs (at their choice though, so unlikely for most :( ) and backup options? Does Origin?
It's really awful we even need to have conversations like these.Virtual Pilot 3D NEVER NOT SCAM!
Given how cheap HDD space is in the past 5-8 years (even given the inflation since the tsunami), it makes sense to backup whatever the source. No matter if that source is a DVD (which can get lost/scratched) a download from somewhere like Gamersgate (which requires their servers to be up/the company in business) or something on a service like Steam (which requires servers to be up and you not banned).
It's just that with something like Steam /Origin, one of the "selling points" is easy access to a catalogue of purchased games after a couple of clicks & some time downloading. No need to piss about with plastic media or download folders and files.
Except, if you want to exercise protection / ownership, you probably should be bothered about pissing about with files / folders and keeping backups.
You could also just view TPB as basically a great big community backup system. I know I do.Originally Posted by CROCONOUGHTKEY
AFAIK, the BattleField 3 beta had a similar clause, and they never made use of it. I have no love whatsoever for EA and I'd rather kill myself than install Origin (until they release Mirror's Edge 2, that is), but this sounds to me like legal mumbojumbo that's there just so they can protect their asses in case of need, not because they really are going to go through with it.
Plus EULAs are worth crap in the EU, so I can't say I'm particularly concerned.

Nothing to see here, move along - just some people thinking they own something they've never owned - and never needed to own - move along whilst we clear the scene ...

Amen, Cooper. If you mind losing it, you'd better have it backed up.
Honestly, I think a few major download services need to go down for a little while, just to remind people how truly tenuous their control of "their" games really is. Personally, I know that GOG's little disappearing stunt certainly made me far more responsible in this respect.
Convenience culture is making people lazy and careless, a snap back to reality would do them good.

Real world - if a DD service went offline forever, people would get pirated version of their games and continue playing surely (or some would rebuy - or some wouldn't care 1 jot??).
Steam - were it to disappear - would be hacked/replaced within hours I reckon. You'd have solutions to enable you to play non-Multiplayer-dependent games almost instantly (most already exist) but a more permanent replacement for the entire concept of 'Steam' would appear pretty quickly I reckon.
I find the idea of putting all my games on discs somewhere quite quaint tbh - I'm not sure I care about them enough to bother with it even if it were practical and legal (which it isn't).
All that's needed is for people to realise they're buying a game they should play NOW and enjoy NOW - they're not buying collectables to store and stare at for years to come...

And care to point out in that agreement where you're forbidden from modifying files, from backing up your games, can be banned from your entire game library for forum misconduct, or be banned from your games library for failing to report bugs in public game betas.
I'll be right here waiting cupcake. Take your time.Virtual Pilot 3D NEVER NOT SCAM!
Restoring from Backup Files
Install Steam and log in to the correct Steam account (see Installing Steam for further instructions)
If the backup files were copied to a CD or DVD, the process should run automatically when the disc is inserted. If not, run steambackup.exe from the disc
If steambackup.exe is missing, please download this copy of steambackup.exe and place it in the correct backup folder.
Continue through the Steam windows to install the necessary games.

22-01-2013, 11:46 PM #16We have never taken away access to a player's games for not reporting a bug, and quite simply it's not something we would ever do. Players don't have anything to be concerned about there – just some language that was far too broad in the original agreement, and is being updated now.steam: sketch
And hey, some of them only have Steamworks if you bought them from Steam. Incredible isn't it?
Secondly, you can run the backups with Steam in Offline mode. Which basically means Steam is pretty much just a formality. This must be world-shattering for you!
Now do you have anything of substance and intelligence to add or is your entire defense just "Well you're a FANBOY so there!" bumpkin?
Oh, and where's those points in Steam's agreement where you're forbidden from modifying files, from backing up your games, can be banned from your entire game library for forum misconduct, or be banned from your games library for failing to report bugs in public game betas?

Sounds like a badly worded exploit clause. People get banned all the time for excessively exploiting, and thus also keeping it quiet, a bug that allows them to get an unfair advantage against other players in an online game sphere.
Must admit I'm not that au fait with the MP aspect of the new Sim City in terms of causal relationship so it's hard to know how things could go wrong (I assume the games not competitive in the strictest sense Vs co-operative?). Though obviously if somehow people are generating an imbalance of some kind through exploits it would make sense to remove them.
XCOM, Dishonored, Mark of the Ninja, Sleeping Dogs, Spec Ops, Borderlands 2, Darksiders II.....
And hey, some of them only have Steamworks if you bought them from Steam. Incredible isn't it?
Secondly, you can run the backups with Steam in Offline mode. Which basically means Steam is pretty much just a formality.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck, or in your case a complete Valve fan boy.
Still free to blather on more about how 'bad' EA are (even though no ones actually been banned as a result of that EULA), because that totally makes Valves EULA any less questionable.

In my case, Steam Offline Mode is more way more reliable than Shockwave Flash.
Also while Steam do offer a DRM-free option so that the client isn't needed, how many AAA games actually use it? Some of the indies do, but there are still plenty that don't. Whether you're on Steam or Origin you can pick out scary EULA clauses which say that you'll lose everything if GabeN has a bad day and bans you. So if it's a reason not to use Origin, it's a reason not to use Steam. Not because Origin offers DRM-free access (I don't think it does, never tested it though), but because most Steam titles still use Steam as a form of DRM anyway.

Do burned CDs and DVDs have a shelf life?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 1/30/09 1:52 PM
I've been backing up my important files on recordable CDs and DVDs for a quite a few years now. However, the other day my friend told me that he read some article explaining that burned CDs and DVDs, while a reliable backup method, do have a shelf life and one day they will fail to read and that I should make duplicate backup copies of my files on another media or external hard drive just in case. This is new news to me, but paranoia still set in! I went immediately to check on a few of my backed up CDs from many years ago dated 1998 and 1999 and was relieved to find that they read perfectly fine from my PC. Now I'm questioning if what my friend read was a myth and I'm turning to you for answers. Is it true, will burned CDs and DVDs eventually become unreadable? If there is a shelf life, what is their expected life span? Are there better quality CDs or DVDs recordable discs that are better for longtime storage? What is the best way to store burned disc to prolong shelf life, if there is such a thing? Am I being paranoid for no reason? Have you had any old burned CDs or DVDs fail on you because they were too old? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any facts you can provide.

So you are eliminating the possibility of a reality that exists beyond this universe, that is not subject to empirical observation and deduction.
In several threads I have acknowledged the possibility of such a reality, however remote. But I have also said that the possibility has no relevance because of the undetectability of such a reality. The effect of its existence and the effect of its nonexistence would be exactly the same - zero. Since such a reality would have no perceivable effect on perceivable reality, there's no reason to even contemplate the possibility.
So it remains an open question whether such a reality exists, and, if it exists, how it can be experienced, if at all.
That wrongly assumes that the existence and nonexistence of such a reality are equally probable.
Christianity simply says that such a reality exists, and that it is known by faith in response to revelation. By requiring that all realities be "known" only by empirical observation and deduction, you are shutting the door on other possible avenues of experience. Where IS your sense of adventure?!?!
Your "other possible avenues of experience" comment makes no sense. Sensory experience is the only way humans collect data about the world around them. There are no other sources of data. It's not like we have an extra nose on the back of our heads, or suddenly developed a shark's ability to sense electricity.
Once years ago I had a strange experience where I was sitting watching television and eating leftovers when I suddenly had a strong thought, dare I say a voice in my head that came compeletely out of the blue and was as clear as a bell. It said that I should go upstairs immediately and stay there before my dad came home from work. It was almost like a command, it was so strong I didn't question it, I just went upstairs.
I heard my dad opening the garage door and driving in a few minutes later, and then heard him talking to someone. It was about midnight. I didn't know if I should call the police, but I thought my dad would KILL me if it was nothing (I could imaging trying to explain to the police…'Well I heard this voice…'). My brother was visiting and staying in the guest room downstairs so I thought maybe he went outside and was the one talking to my dad.
I was feeling more and more ridiculous so I just decided to go downstairs and check it out. I heard the door open and close, so I figured my dad came in (or it really was a burglar and I was in for it.) My dad was standing there and I felt relieved and a bit silly, but my heart sank as I got closer to him. He was pale and clearly shaken. I said "Hi Dad!" and he said "You won't believe what just happened to me…"
Apparently two men came up behind him when he got out of his car and puy a gun to his back. They asked for all his money and told him not to turn around or they'd shoot. If I had gone outside to meet my dad when he got home and not been upstairs, who knows what would have happened.
I don't think this has anything to do with religion, God or anything remotely like that. I've had similar experiences, having a bad feeling about going somewhere and finding out something horrible happened there afterward and I know of lots of reliable friends and family who've had similar experiences.
I think it's something to look into w/out automatically dumping it into the 'paranormal' category.

How Much Juice Do You Need?
The best way to begin comparing battery backup power and gas-generated systems is to calculate your home's emergency electrical needs. Start by making a list of every appliance, fixture and device that you want to keep going in the event of an outage. On each item, look on the manufacturer's nameplate or stamp to find the wattage (watts) rating. If only the amperage (amps) is given, multiply the amp rating by 120 to find the wattage.
Note: For any appliances that use a motor (including refrigerators, furnaces and heat pumps, air conditioners, fans, etc.), you'll have to find the startup wattage and use it instead of the rated wattage on the nameplate (a.k.a. running wattage). Startup wattage is the amount of power it takes to get a resting motor up and running and can be several times higher than the running wattage.
Add up the total wattage of all the items, then add in 10 to 20 percent as a safety margin: That's how much power your generator must provide to meet your needs.
Based on the factors mentioned above, do some calculations and figure whether you're better off with a battery backup power or gas-powered backup.

This is working!
By lali
from Bella Vista, AR
My rescue long-haired Chihuahua began having severe seizures with her waking up in the middle of the night with a seizure, screeching and losing bladder and bowel control. It would take an hour for her to stop trembling, she could not walk for several hours afterwards. I had been giving her Benadryl because of her severe sinus issues. I researched and found she might be allergic to the corn in her food. I switched to corn and grain free Blue wet food and dry which cleared up her sinus issues. I started giving her Doc Ackerman's Seizure formula every morning and her seizures became less intensive, with her recovering within ten minutes. After several weeks, the few seizures she has had did not result in loss of bladder control. She looks and acts like she used to. THANK YOU!!!!!!

What A Miracle
By Aussie Mom
from Alabama
I can not tell you how please that I am with product. My Australian Shepherd would be fine oneday then have cluster seizures the next. The vet issued Phenobarb, which made her so spaced out and would still have seizures on occasions. She is active now, feels great, plays. I simply sprinkle the 1 tblsp of this product over her food, add a egg to moisten the product. No more seizures!!! I am estatic. Thank you for producing this super alternative.

Had high expectatons
By Carly

About Me New Pet Owner
I had really high expectations for this product and just wish it had lived up to them . My Chihuahua is a rescue and we got her when she was about 2, a year ago . Since we had her she started having fits which lasted around 15 mminutes with quick recovery. As she was only having them once every 2 to 3 months we thought we would try this before trying normal meds as I had read all the really positive reviews about this one and all the potential side effects with mainstream meds . A couple of months ago she had 3 seizures in a month and a cluster seizure which lasted around 80 minutes so we started using this around 11 weeks ago . After first administrating it , she had two seizures that we weren't present for . She was then 9 weeks seizure free so it started looking really promising then unfortunately she suffered from another cluster seizure which lasted around 80 minutes until I got her to the vet where they gave her diazepam. I am quite upset that unfortunately this medication could not help her with the dangerous clusters and that we are now left with no option but to put her on mainstream meds. Other aspects of the product : it was really easy to administer : I put it on her food religiously everyday , twice a day and she always ate it without any problems . I didn't notice any major side effects although I have noticed she does wee a lot more and she has a bit more energy. I hope this review is useful to others and I am definitely pleased I gave this medication a go before putting her straight onto mainstream medication . It was worth a shot .

Limited Effect in Severer Seizure Cases
By Rich S.
from Vancouver, WA
Review is aimed towards those already familiar with seizure symptoms and have done some research to know what its about. Our 4yr/23lb mini-schnauzer started his seizures early in Jan'14. Initially, his were the classic cluster episodes but eventually progressed into more frequent and severe seizing ending in tong biting, etc., etc., after 9-mon's.Our veterinarian of 15yrs who specializes in small breeds claimed some success with Doc Ackerman's ESF formula. The harsher prescription drug phenobarbital, although, historically rather effective in stopping seizures will do eventual damage to the kidneys-liver so enzyme monitoring is recommended 2-3 times per year--pet costs go up?Initially, I started him on 2 (two) teaspoons of ESF per day. One tsp. in the AM feeding and the other in the PM feeding. Our doctor told us the results would not be immediate because it would require 6-8wks to buildup in his system before noticing any change. Within 3-wks we noticed the seizures were much less intense and his recovery was shorter. However, we still averaged one seizure per wk. I emailed the manufacturer of ESF who responded immediately with a recommendation to increase the dosage to 3 teaspoons per day. Over the course of 7-wks seizure frequence went down to one seizure every 2-wks with quick recovery and no noticable side-effects. We continued dosing with a second jar of ESF but never seen any improvment beyond that. Emailing the manufacturer again we concluded our dog might be better off going the phenobarbital route--which we did.I will say the company that makes this ESF product was most helpful and responsive in helping me to diagnosis incremental progress of our pet using the formula. They totally stand behind what they sell. I believe its a good product but may not work in severer seizure cases. -Thanks Doc Ackerman
This stuff works!!!!!!!!
By JH
from Ga
My 4 yr old Lab mix, Rufus had his first seizure in April 2014. It was a short one and having had dogs all my life, I thought probably just a one time thing. In June he had another one, just a little longer. In August he had another one and unlike the others, it lasted almost an hour. I was all by myself and had no way at that time to get him to the vet and I thought he was going to die. He came out of it and immediately returned to his usual self. I got on line to read about dog seizures, and found this product and read the reviews. So many people suggested trying it before using the Vet's medicine, so I ordered it and I'm so glad I did. I started the med on August 16 and on August 23, he did have another seizure but it was only about 3 or 4 minutes long. It is the end of Oct now and he has not had any more seizures. He had one aura this month but it did not progress into a seizure. Not only has it helped his seizures, but he seems more alert and playful. He is a huge 115 pounds. I think he has a little Great Dane mixed in. I give him 1 1/2 Tablespoons of the powdered med every night mixed in with 1/2 a can of dog food. He loves it. Licks the bowl clean. It is like a treat since he only gets dry food the rest of the time. I'm so glad it works, not only for him but for me and my daughter too because his seizures are the type that start, by him running until he hits a wall and then collapses into a seizure. 115 pounds of dog running blindly through the house is not safe for any of us. I wish you all the best with your pet.
This stuff really works!

I have been using this product for 2 years as an alternative to phenobarbital. It works for my little 14 year old yorkie. I only use half the recommended dose but when signs of mild seizure activity appear I give the full amount. I am on my 4th jar. I am so grateful for this product and this website!
great product!!!!
By Vickie
from Rockford, IL
This product is absolutely amazing!! My 4 yr. old dachshund started having seizures at the age of 2. He only had one every 3 months or so & they were mild. About 3 months ago the severity & time in between them increased dramatically. He also started having cluster seizures. I didn't want to put him on the meds from the vet. I started searching the internet & came across this product. I'm so glad I found this!! Tomorrow will be 10 weeks since I started giving him this supplement. He hasn't had even one seizure since!! Not even a mild one!! I wil NEVER be without this product!! It's very easy to use.....I sprinkle half a teaspoon on his dry food morning & night. He doesn't mind it at all.

Hello. We have received your letter, I do not know if we are relatives but my maternal grandfather's surname was Di Nallo. He was born in 1926. His father was Angelo Di Nallo, born 1902. His father's father was Domenico Di Nallo, born in 1859, and had two sisters: Maria Giseppa Di Nallo and Maria Antonia Di Nallo. There are many Di Nallo's in Cassino who are most likely related, even if distant.

3-V Biosciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics that modulate key pathways in oncology and infectious disease, today announced the completion of a Series C financing round, raising $20 million. Proceeds from the financing will be used to advance 3-V's lead oncology candidate into a Phase 1 clinical trial and to conduct ongoing preclinical studies of multiple virology leads generated by the company's integrated drug discovery process. Existing investors Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and New Enterprise Associates participated in the round.
"I am very pleased by the recognition of our efforts and continued support from our existing investors," said Merdad Parsey, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of 3-V Biosciences. "3-V takes an integrated approach to building its pipeline by applying our proprietary screening methodology combined with our expertise in medicinal chemistry, drug discovery and development to generate proprietary therapeutic candidates that target key pathways in oncology and infectious diseases. Our lead oncology candidate has demonstrated compelling anti-tumor activity in pre-IND studies and with the funds from our Series C, we look forward to advancing into the clinic later this year."
3-V's lead molecule is one of a series of novel fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitors initially being developed to treat solid tumor cancers. FASN over-expression is associated with aggressive disease and poor prognosis in a number of cancers. In a series of preclinical studies, 3-V has demonstrated potent activity against multiple tumor types, including lung, breast, prostate and colon cancers. In addition, 3-V has demonstrated potential synergy of its FASN-inhibitors with cytotoxic agents. 3-V plans to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the third quarter and initiate first-in-human studies by the end of 2013.
"The team at 3-V has done an impressive job of generating a pipeline of novel therapeutic product candidates with promising activity in diverse oncology and infectious disease indications," said David Mott, General Partner of New Enterprise Associates and Chairman of the Board of 3-V Biosciences. "We are pleased to support 3-V's continued efforts as they advance their lead program into clinical development."
3-V is leveraging its screening platform, drug discovery and drug development capabilities to identify antiviral candidates that exploit the dependence of the virus on the host cell by blocking host-virus interactions. The leads in the company's pipeline are characterized by their novel mechanism of action, broad-spectrum antiviral activity and high barrier to resistance. 3-V is currently evaluating antiviral therapeutic candidates for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), herpes simplex virus (HSV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV).

"We had the best time you could imagine and it was all based on your planning-thank-you so so much!!
Every hotel was located just where we would have wanted-all so lovely and we loved the buffet breakfasts!! The Grace is a beautiful hotel and everyone was very helpful-we could walk to the main areas and Darling Harbor and we just loved being in Sydney-Norm even got in a game of golf!! Every tour was wonderful. We are so glad you switched us from the large bus Blue Mountain tour to the boutique tour-we heard others talk of the Blue Mountain tour in that it was a long drive, crowded and they did not seem to have a great day. We LOVED our boutique tour-we had a super driver (Cliff)who really really tried to find every animal in the wild he could-we saw kangaroos, emu, wombats and even a koala-it was a wonderful day-we got back about 11;30 pm and because of that we saw so many of the nocturnal animals-he was so accommodating-just a great day!!
The Pullman in Cairns was just gorgeous-and we could walk to the water-we had a perfect(calm!!) day on the reef and we loved the trip to the rainforest-all in all a wonderful few days there. Our weather for the whole trip was also perfect!!! How did you do that!!??!!
We thank-you so much, Louise, for helping us-you take full credit for this holiday and we so often spoke of you there "thanks to Louise for another great day" we would say!! Every tour worked out perfectly-the flights were just great and the timing super-and we really felt you listened to what we 'thought ' we wanted to do and you just seemed to know what would be right for us. We packed some Canada pins and tee shirts and gave them to our tour drivers and they seemed to love that!!
We came home happy and relaxed and so thankful-I will send you a few pictures for certain.

Sorry, Hard to read..
Look here:
We've got some decisions to make. Roberts and Darius Miller are almost no brainers IMO, same with Lopez. I would personally bring back Thomas, but it by no means set in stone. The market will probably dictate X and Aminu, so we can't say until then. If we pick up the team option, that puts us somewhere around 42 mil, not including Aminu or X.
"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
It will be interesting to see if Lopez is picked up but i'm sure he will be since his contract is actually very fair given his size and production.
Another elephant in the room is obviously Gordon and his future here. If they can swing a trade to a team and get another SG or SF here, then Aminu's gone and Rivers may switch permanently to the PG position. So many exciting possibilities for the next two seasons
Last edited by cjjr72984; 12-11-2012 at 01:37 PM.
I think we will let X walk. And it really comes down to how much they want to pay aminu to be a back up. If we can get 2 good players at the PG and SF positions, in either the draft or free agency, think of a bench of vasquez aminu smith ryno? (may be starting next year). We would easily have one of the best bench's in the nba.
With out Lopez and keeping Thomas, Roberts, and Miller, we are sitting at $37.461 million between 9 players. Add in Lopez, and we're up to $42.58 million between 10 players. Factor in 2 minimum cap holds to get the roster up to 12 guys (I'm assuming for around $750k a piece), and we have around $14 million in cap space. That is enough to offer a max contract to a guy coming off his rookie deal.
CP3!?!?! A guy can wish, yeah?
http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q14A roster charge if the team has fewer than 12 players (players under contract, free agents included in team salary, players given offer sheets, and first round draft picks). The roster charge is equal to the rookie minimum salary for each player fewer than 12.
You also can probably decline the options on Lance Thomas and Brian Roberts and then resign them later with the minimum exception. The hold if you cut them will be just the $490k, so that all adds up to another million or so in cap space. If you cut Lopez for $500k you have $38.7M in payroll or roughly $19.5M in cap space, and if you keep Lopez you have $42.8M or roughly $15.5M in cap space. And there is speculation that the cap could increase from $58M to $60M http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-am-who...space-in-2013/
Boy.... That's a lot of available cap dollars... I think our best bet is to trade Lopez for a young vet on a rookie contract still *cough* Bledsoe *cough*. I'd hate to just cut him outright if we end up needing the money. He is a very solid player on a great contract, and he should net a decent return in a trade.
Don't forget the salary of our upcoming lottery pick in 2013. Could be top 5-8.
"Davis is gonna be the best Basketball Player Ever. ......Please quote me." -Silverfoxx
Our two top cap space eaters haven't played a single game for us.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
There is still another part of this that needs to be discussed- and that is the cap room of other teams. Having 15 million in cap room is much more valuable when nobody else has cap room, but if 12 other teams have that much room (or more), then what happens when there are only 3-4 guys on the market worthy of big $$$?
I will get into this more as my piece goes on throughout the season, but I covered some of that issue here:
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I had no idea what will transpire, but I sense we will be pleasantly surprised before we go into next season....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"

Horizont head coach Anatoli Buyalski:"It was a good and exciting game, that shows the importance of home court. Telge has a good team with several young players that impressed today and deserved the win."
Horizont player Tatsiana Likhtarovic:"I am really disappointed with our offense today. In the defensive end it was okay, but we missed too many open shots, but I must say Telge played well as a team."

People book me for my unobtrusive photojournalism and my more natural approach to fine art Bride and Groom portraits. Introducing style and concept to the group shots and the way I approach the essential capture of details are also important components that formulate my style. I love how wedding photography presents so many opportunities to capture the essence of the day, emotion!
I capture this emotion with my instinctive eye and ability to sense a moment. It's a combination of all of these key elements that create a beautifully stylish, yet timeless story through imagery. A story you'll be able to re connect with every time you open your album. Id love to meet you both and hear about your wedding, please feel free to get in touch.

She worked diligently on our discharge process, our mid-levels, and our nursing team to ensure that every patient has the most optimal stay and discharge possible. Kathy is not just a case manager that sits at her desk and enters information; she is a hands-on, come to the bedside, meet the family, gather the team up type person. She's been influential with the weekly multi-disciplinary rounds, with all of the members from rehab, transplant, mid-levels, nursing, Social Work and Child Life, just about any one that would be included in a plan of care in order to optimize the discharge process days to weeks before it ever happens.
On two occasions, Kathy designed an at-home program for Spanish-speaking families who could not read. She not only spent the time to create a home med schedule (complete with a moon and a sun to signify day/night meds), she also went above and beyond to color code each medication and its appropriate syringe. She alerted outlying pharmacies to this process and closed every loop to ensure these patients would receive every medication on time. Kathy created checklists that print out on our patient's departure to help families know more about their lengthy stay here. No matter what the task, Kathy takes it on. Our unit has absolutely transformed under the guidance and leadership that she provides. She's a mentor to me and to many others. In her free time, she still carries on the All Children's name. She has coached the softball team over the past several years. Our unit will be lost without her and it will take a while to fill that void. I know she will train her replacement to the greatest standards.
Kathy's department director added:
Kathy has been on the staff at All Children's since 1987, said Maria Antonucci, RN, MS, Director, Case Management. She is an ARNP who has held various roles during her time here. Most recently, Kathy was a Case Manager in the CVICU. When I met Kathy in 2011, I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and her pursuit of excellence. She was enrolled in the green belt program at the time and not entirely sure this was a good fit for her. She flourished in this program. As a result, she has successfully lead or participated in many quality improvement projects within the Case Management department and throughout the hospital. Her passion for providing quality of care for her patients has been evident in her work in the CVICU as an advocate for these medically and socially complex patients. She has set up discharge plans to ensure health maintenance for these children while dealing with the challenges of limited community resources, variability in insurance coverage, access to care, and working with families adjusting to having a child with long-term healthcare needs. While Kathy will be missed as a member of the Case Management team, her new role of quality advisor will allow the entire organization to benefit from her great work.
Thank you Kathy, for the compassionate care you provide our patients.

BAYBORO – The Pamlico Hurricanes haven't won a season-opener in three years.
In fact, they've won only two games in the past two seasons.
The tide can change with a victory at Croatan on Friday, as the 2013 season kicks off for the Hurricanes.
Pamlico's first-year head coach Kevin Yost believes a win in the first game of the season could be just what the team needs to build some early-season momentum.
"I think our guys will be ready to play," he said. "I want to change the past of the program. The kids seem to be up for the challenge.
"I've talked to them about the fact that people see us on the schedule and count it as a win. We have a lot to prove."
The Hurricanes were out-scored 256-110 last season, but a new-look offense, and an improved defense has the coaching staff optimistic.
"The guys want to be the best and they have a winning attitude. They've done everything we've asked of them," Yost said.
"We want to try and play well and try to get a win. Hopefully we can play well enough to win and get that monkey off our back."
Led by senior quarterback NaQuan Gibbs, Pamlico is switching to a spread-style offensive formation. The defense, anchored by talented linebackers Connor Hough and Tony Credle, along with defensive end Arthur Randall, will line up in a 4-3 formation.
"I think we have to win the turnover battle, and our special teams have to be really good, and we have to score," Yost said. "I think we have a good game plan for Friday night."
The Hurricanes opened with Croatan the past two seasons. They lost to the Cougars, 21-0, last year, and 55-28 in 2011.
Croatan lost 15 of its 28 players from last year, including starting quarterback Kyle Hopewell. Junior Andrew Colborn, who saw some playing time at quarterback in 2012, tossed for 370 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions.
"Andrew throws a really good, comfortable ball," Croatan head coach David Perry told the Carteret County News-Times. "He had a good completion rate where I think he completed 50 percent or better. I think we should do well in the passing game."
Croatan lost its top three running backs from last year, who combined for 1,107 yards – 91 percent of the team's rushing attack.
The Cougars went 6-5 in 2012 and lost to Northside Jacksonville, 47-10, in the first round of the 2A state playoffs.
Pamlico lost just two seniors from a year ago, and have nearly twice as many players on varsity this season.
Kickoff from Croatan is slated for 7:30 p.m. On Friday.

Men's Basketball Falls 77-63 to Winston-Salem State in Rams' Return to Division Two
November 20, 2010
SALISBURY, N.C. Winston-Salem State University made it 2-for-2 since returning to division two play with a 77-63 victory over Pfeiffer University in non-conference mens basketball action at Catawbas Goodman Gym. The Rams open their season 2-0 with a division one-like roster stepping back from the NCAAs highest level while the Falcons even to 2-2.
WSSU led from the opening tip as Dominic Alston (Bunn, NC) led one of four Rams in double figures with 20 points. Shelton Carter (Greensboro, NC) followed with 18, Lamar Monger (Ahoskie, NC) put in 14 while Stephon Platt (Laurinburg, NC) deposited 11. For Monger, 11 of his 14 points came from the charity stripe. For the Falcons, Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) led all scorers with 21 points on the night.
The Rams had as much as a 25 point lead in the first half shooting 40% from the field. Pfeiffer shot better in the second half, 30% for the contest, but made just six three-pointers to WSSUs 11. Both teams combined for 56 fouls in the whistle-laden contest.
Pfeiffer has a quick turnaround before their next contest on Sunday afternoon. The Falcons will wrap up the 2010 Catawba Classic tangling with the host Indians at 3:00 p.m.

1. How do I search for images on a particular subject?
To search for images, you need to use the search box, found on the right of every page of the site.
Simple searching
Enter your search terms or terms in the search box (e.g. gout or embryo) and click Search. If you want to search for a phrase, enclose it in quotes, e.g. "Charles Darwin" or "barber surgeon".
The drop-down menu under the search box enables you to specify in which collection you would like to search. If you do not specify a collection you will automatically search all available images.
The choices are 'Historical only' for images from the Wellcome Library collections, and 'Contemporary only' for modern biomedical images.
Advanced searching
Click Advanced search (show), under the collection drop-down menu, for more search options. These are:
Use these fields if you're looking for images about or from a particular period. Enter dates as four digits or leave blank.
For example: From: 1500 To: 1600 finds images created in or about the 16th century
From: 1999 To: 1999 finds images created in or about 1999
From: ----- To: 0000 finds images from or about the BC period
From: ----- To: 1750 finds images created or about pre-1750
From: 1950 To: ----- finds images from or about 1950 to the present day
Image number
Use this field if you already have an image number for a specific image from the collection. The drop-down menu allows you to select the image number prefix and the free text box allows you to enter the rest of the number. For example:
To find image M0000153 (of Sir William Perkin), select the letter 'M' from the drop-down, and enter '000053' in the adjacent box.
Use this drop-down to find images that were created using particular techniques. For example, to find images created by using an electron micrograph, select this technique from the drop-down menu.
You can also use as few or as many of the search options as you like. Note that if you just click the search button, you will retrieve all the available images in the database.
Combining search terms
For a very specific search you can use more than one term in the search box. Search terms can be joined with 'and', 'or' or 'not'.
For example:
baby AND mother finds the records that contain both terms
baby OR mother finds the records that include baby or mother or both
baby NOT mother finds the records that contain the word baby and not the word mother.
Search within results
Once you have run a search, you can enter more terms in the 'Search within results' box to run a new search within your existing set.
Search history
Click Search history to take you to a list of all the searches that you have run during your session. (Your search history will not be kept from one session to the next.)
2. How do I see a large image?
To view a full-screen image, simply click on an image thumbnail from the results of a search, gallery or lightbox view page.
