This is a 100 Series DOT motorcycle half helmet which is one of the lightest and smallest in the market. Approximate weight is 2 lb and this helmet measures 8.75 inches from ear to ear and 11.5 inches from front to back. The new EPS liner is only 1 inch thick.
Made using 3 different shell sizes.

This helmet meets or exceeds DOT FMVSS 218 specifications by DOT.
This is a very well constructed and great looking new DOT motorcycle helmet with
excellent inside padding, sun visor, D-rings and chin strap.
Please use a cloth tape to take your measurement. It is better to have a helper do the measuring in order to get accurate measurement. The circumference of the head should be measured at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows, or at whatever point gives the largest possible measurement.
If you find that your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the smaller size for this helmet.

Comment: No flash here, just your basic black helmet. Not the smallest helmet I have seen, so "smallest" is a relative term, it does fit inside the saddlebag. I have had no problems will the helmet, and feel it is a great buy for the money.

Austin tx
Comment: This is a great little helmet. I bought it based on its looks, because I like the looks of a minimal helmet. The only beef I have with the function is that the visor is useless if I am riding into the sun. With my previous helmets I could use the visor to block the sun, but this one sits so high on my head that it doesn't work. I guess that is the tradeoff for the good looks.

Comment: Fits great
Comment: This helmet is one of the few DOT approved half helmets that do not look like a beachball or mushroom on my size XL head. Good fit, (i usually wear XL on other helments) very comfortable, no problems riding 4 or 5 hours with it on. Great Price. very satisfied overall.
Comment: Great look, great fit, great price.
Comment: I just received this helmet and I was pleasantly surprised because the fit was perfect and it really game me the style and look that I wanted. Not only that but it is DOT which is a big plus. Super fast delivery to California too. Highly recommended.

Comment: I was looking for a Helmet that would fit my fat head and not make give me the mushroom look.Seems like there are a lot of cagers trying to play chicken with me lately and I thought I need to find something. This is a nice helmet , fits great , good on highway use. You might want to go a size bigger than normal , I did , but like I said I have a fat head.

Comment: I received my helmet and was pleased with this product. It fits perfectly and I immediately went for a ride down the freeway.

Comment: I purchased this Half Helmet for the upcoming warm weather season. The helmet fits well & is fairly light. The only negative to me is the strap holder, it's a bit weak, but for the price & quality I'm not complaining.
Venice, CA.
Comment: I find myself liking this helmet more each time I wear it. Comfortable and stays in place at highway speeds. It's not so big that it looks dorky. Feels like it would do the job if ever called upon to do so.
Comment: Was preparing for a lengthy trip and realized my old helmet needed to be replaced. Selected this one based on style and price. The order was shipped promptly and received in plenty of time for my trip. It fits well and is fairly lightweight. The screwed on visor doesn't 'rattle' like many of the snap on visors. Overall it is a good helmet and a great value.

Comment: after 2nd helmet tkt (Calif. sux) I shopped for smallest DOT helmet. Was surprised that the price was so cheap. I am leery about buying things on the internet, but when it arrived it fit perfectly!
patrick s
Orange County, CA
Comment: I got one of these a few months ago and love it. For a dot approved helmet it has almost no mushroom head look. I get co.pliments all the time on it. Will be buying the visor. I normally wear large to x-large in full face. Large is a little big in this one, will order another in medium. Go ahead and get the visors, they are awesome too. I wear sunglaass with it and have learned the hard way to take clear safety glasses with me if you get caught in the dark. Buy this helmet it is much better than the 3 or 4 I have seen from the competition.
Comment: Anyone who thinks this helmet makes them look like a mushroom better stick to novelty helmets. This helmet has a much smaller profile than my HJC. The only thing I'm not yet sure about is the quality of the finish. Seems to mark easily, but this is my first flat finish helmet and perhaps they are all like that. Overall I would recommend if you are looking for a very small profile half helmet.
Comment: This helmet appears to be slightly bigger then what I measured for, but that could have been me. I think the helmet is comfortable and looks good on the dome. The only thing I dislike is the buckle. I would buy another HCI helmet though.
Jacksonville, FL
Comment: Excellent service and turnaround.. XL Helmet fits snug, quality seems outstanding for the price. I've only had a chance to use it once since receiving, due to weather but, all and all , an excellent purchase, for the money. Minimal mushroom head.
Brooklyn, NY
Comment: Wanted a half helmet for running errands when not wearing a full face. The helmet is extremely light and looks cool in flat black. Great price and super fast delivery. In my case I ordered one size up and fit is just right.

Gene Little

Comment: I have always worn a size large helmet so that's what I ordered based on the size chart. My helmet arrived, I loved the look and feel then put it on my head but it was too small. I paid almost $10.00 to send it back and today received the exchange which fits perfectly. I found the size to be off by one. I ordered a large and exchanged it for an XL. The problem seems true throughout the industry. Imported helmets and clothing do not represent American sizes. I like this helmet, it's small, no mushroom head and it's light. I wish we could buy American made products for these prices. Great service, nice helmet, just check your size so it won't cost more to exchange it

Comment: I normally like to wear a helmet but since I got this one I have been wearing it fits great,

If you have a Yakima brand hitch rack I would strongly recommend purchasing this hitch lock. Without it anyone with some tools could technically remove the rack from the hitch. This small piece secures the rack onto the hitch and requires a key to have it unlocked and removed. I wish it initially came with the rack but its a small price to pay for piece of mind.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Welcome to Lincoln. When posting in Nebraska be mindful that in most cases the midgrade fuel is the cheapest, so pay careful attention to the grade you are posting.
More points each day gets a GasBuddy to their next car level sooner, if you are interested! A GasBuddy that posts maximum points each day will get to their next car level sooner than a GasBuddy that post only 5 gas prices each day! For example: A GasBuddy posting maximum points each day takes about 32 days less for each 100k points than a GasBuddy that this is only posting 5 gas prices each day! The difference is about 128 days sooner (a little over 4 months) from 100k to 500k points for those GasBuddies posting maximum points each day! Unfortunately, too many GasBuddies average way less than posting 5 gas prices each day! Maximum points in a day is 975, and one day with the weekly poll is 1,075! If you're interested, points are earned by active participation in the web site features, to learn how to earn more points, go to the bottom of this web page and click on How to Earn Points! Ron
Thanks for posting on GasBuddy! We are all here helping others save on gas and we help even more when we post gas prices each day! Posting regularly can help each of us see where the best gas deals are located, but we need updated prices each day! When GBs come back to post gas prices as often as they can, it's really a big help to the tens of thousands of GBs and others, especially those that travel!
It takes a lot of dedication and persistence to climb the GasBuddy ladder to each level, but thousands of GBs do it each day! Many GBs get anywhere from 750 to 975 points each day, but most GBs only post a few gas price each day! More than 90% of new GBs will not make it to their 1st red car (1M points), most of the 8,000,000 GBs quit before they even get close, and many GBs only show up occasionally or part time creeping up very slowly towards that 1M points, but keep going, you can do it!
It's wonderful seeing you come back each and every day for the past 44 days! Ron

and some gold border on the letters would look nice
I hope not. I was looking through some of the stats of the players on the official nba.com site though, and this is the logo they are now using. I figured they could have found a better way to incorporate the 'local' colors than what they did, it kinda clashes with the teal and purple And the lettering would have probably looked better if they used that cursive style that was shown from one of the t-shirts pics I saw before.
and some gold border on the letters would look nice
I don't like the gold though, it just doesn't fit. If they don't plan on making any major changes, they should just have left the hornet part the way it was (it looked fine enough), and changed the lettering to maybe purple instead of teal. Plus a different font would be better, it's the same as the one from the original logo, the only difference is it looks like the city name is too long. Instead of bending the words, just let them be straight, in that cursive style, and in purple. I think that would be good enough.
Needs lots of purple. Good find W...
I cant stand the yellow H on his chest...
That's rather interesting, Hamilton. I can't tell 100%, but it looks like the word New Orleans across the chest. I'm gonna go check it out on that site. Curious!
Where on the site did you find it. I cannot find it. I am with you, purple and cursive would have been much better if this is it.
Go to any of the individual Hornets' players site and it has it as the logo.
Yea i guess i just found it on the hornets official website.
Hornets for NBA Champs!

Thats exactly how i found it too Houma Hornet.
I hope that is not what has taken this long to "tweak."
at least it doesnt have the old white letters around it
I am in a state of denial over this particular logo. Looks like something NBA.com designed just to placate the intelligent masses here at NOH.
Gee, it's not like we ever got on their tails to actually change anything since May 10.
To paraphrase Belle from Beauty and the Beast, I want more than this provincial logo.
If that is the tweaked logo, I don't think it looks all that bad. Hey, we should be happy we get any change, all the Grizz did was change the "Vancouver" to "Memphis"!
the Legend has spoken!
Yeah, I think this is the "official" logo because since relocation there was the old N.O. Hornets logo (the one that resembled Charlotte's) for the tickets link. Now, this new one has replaced it.
But, I agree with Adam. This is not that bad. How much do you really want to change a logo that is the catalyst of one of the most popular team merchandise in the league?
Last edited by RENFO; 08-04-2002 at 12:45 AM.
Im kinda with you RENFO, the new logo kinda looks better every time i look at it,i really didnt want the logo to change,but these small changes just reminds everyone that this aint charlotte anymore. They are now the New Orleans Hornets.Whether some ppl in the nba likes it or not.
The ball should be purple and teal and their should be a gold outline on the words.
I'd like the letters of "New Orleans Hornets" to be Purple, maybe with a gold outline. Also why not make the "H" on the chest and the entire basketball gold, it's a cartoon, so it doesn't have to be realistic. The team keeps it teal (close enought to green) and purple, while adding a New Orleans flavor with gold. Just my opinion.
It is not that the logo is horrible, for a few months we were promised real changes. Sure, some of us (like me) figured the changes would be more significant; they would do away with the cartoon hornet logo, do a more sweeping change to the colors, and even change the font. We don't have to fall in line, goose stepping and harking out praises for minor changes, if we felt they would change more of the design.
Seeing the new logo, and hearing it called new . . . is a cop out. The Spurs changed their logo and colors more than the Hornets did. At best they went into photoshop and changed the basketball color and added New Orleans. I really believed they were eliminating the cartoonish look and CLT colors. Next, we will see that uni has pin stripes and wonder why in hell they kept those. Don't mean to be so down on the changes, but I really thought they would be more major . . . no pun intended.
Actually the Grizz changed their secondary logo big time, and did more slight changes than just remove Vancouver and add MEM. If I had to compare, I would say the Grizz logo changed more than the Hornets, and the MEM people were not promised any changes at all, other than using FEdEX colors, logo and such if approved by the NBA.

Let's not forget the font on the lettering. It's a lot different from the Charlotte lettering. While it may not be a significant change to some, that's what stands out the most to me. The fact that they are the "New Orleans" Hornets really is emphasized in this new logo as opposed to the smaller Charlotte lettering.
I do hope that the uniforms are more "tweaked" though. That lettering will look great on a uniform. Maybe do away with the pinstripes and add gold outlining or something. In any event, it will be interesting to see what they come up with.
Why didn't the Hornets announce this then?
I simply don't think this is what the logo will look like. If it is, why hasn't the Hornets' site been changed yet?Originally posted by CC_Hornet

I just clicked on "players" on the Hornets site and the roster comes up. Click on any of them and you see the logo. I just think it's odd that there was no unveiling or announcement of any sort or at least they could put the logo on the homepage.Originally posted by Grandadmiral

New Wallaby coach John Connolly can turn candyfloss into granite, according to former Bok coach Nick Mallett.
Having been fortunate to inherit a Stade Français pack coached by John 'Knuckles' Connolly, the new Wallaby coach, I can caution the Springbok forwards that this year the Wallabies will be a different forward unit from the mediocre mob we saw in the Tri-Nations and on the end-of-year tour. They will be tougher, simply because there will be a far greater emphasis on the first phases. To get the maximum out of any pack is Connolly's greatest strength as a coach.
When I took over as Stade coach, I was hugely impressed by what he had done with the forwards. He is a meticulous coach who is conservative by nature but very pragmatic about what constitutes winning rugby.
I don't think you will see a Wallaby team taking the ball through 15 phases of play, keeping the ball in hand 15m from their goal line and playing expansive rugby. It will be a more conservative Wallaby team but equally, I think, it will be a more dangerous one.
Just how much impact Connolly will have on the results column depends on the squad he selects, and it may just be that there aren't better players in Australia than Eddie Jones selected in 2005. That we will know only once Connolly's team plays its first Test.
Connolly, in his time at Stade, moulded the pack into one of the best in Europe. He drilled into them the importance of line-outs, scrums and restarts, and the strength of his coaching is that his players don't make many mistakes and play very little risk rugby. He achieved similar success with the forwards at Bath, and it was a trademark of his era with the Reds.
His weakness, especially in the French context, was that he could not speak the language and his philosophy was in stark contrast with the natural flair of Frenchmen who did not want to play with restrictions. Connolly won't have a language problem back in Australia, but he may still get some resistance from players who want to be empowered and want freedom in decision-making.
Connolly's approach is radically different from that of Jones, and the Wallabies certainly won't be a soft touch in the forward exchanges.
Connolly is a man who knows how to get results, even if his approach does not translate into the most popular style of play. He commands enormous respect from his players and he is a disciplinarian. We will soon find out if the Wallabies' woes of 2005 were a clear-cut case of the forwards not being good enough or if the focus of the 2005 coaching staff was skewed because of Jones's refusal to change a phase philosophy he believed could win Test matches.
I wrote last year that single-minded multiphase play, with no variation, does not win Test matches. And so it proved.
The Wallabies came unstuck against good defensive teams, who also punished them on the counterattack.
Jones's Wallabies played high-risk rugby with no reward. Connolly's teams won't take that chance.
I've always rated Jones as a fine coach, and I've a similar respect for the quality of Connolly as a coach. Where they differ is in philosophy.
The Bok approach to the Wallabies is going to have to be different this year. I expect Connolly's side to be dour to watch, but don't confuse that with a lack of variety or success. Connolly's teams have never thrilled the crowds, but invariably they've thrilled the commercial stakeholders because he does know how to win. And that's something the Wallabies forgot how to do in 2005.

The only exception is that if you're having an ultrasound, your exam is conducted by a sonographer. Either way, you are in the hands of a medical professional. He or she is specially trained and licensed to conduct your exam and is an expert in running the imaging equipment used in your exam.
Through advanced medical training, our examiners are educated in:
Our examiners tend to specialize in certain types of exams. For example, mammography technologists receive special training in order to operate the mammogram equipment. Their ability to perform mammography is well above average because they devote most of their time to it. Sub-specialization like this builds greater expertise, more skill in working with you and increased ability to deliver the best diagnostic images.

Shared value is key theme for business and philanthropy
Private Matters, December 2012
Increased blurring of the boundaries between for-profit and not-for-profit organisations is advocated by Deloitte's not-for-profit specialist, Tharani Jegatheeswaran.
In today's uncertain economy, with government funding for community programs and donations from individuals decreasing, there is no doubt that corporate philanthropy is becoming increasingly important to the funding base of not-for-profit (NFP) organisations.
Long gone are the days of companies merely "giving back". Today, corporate giving is much more strategic and more focused than ever before. Rather than giving small amounts across a large number of not-for-profits, companies are giving larger amounts to a smaller number of not-for-profits.
Tharani Jegatheeswaran, Client Director, Not-for-profits says: "Today, companies are more focused on developing strategic partnerships with NFP organisations. They are targeting NFPs with similar values, brand alignment, and a commitment to producing results (i.e. producing real social change)."
Her advice to NFP organisations is to adopt a more targeted approach to selecting corporate partners. "By choosing companies that have similar values (ie. those that believe in what you believe in) to your NFP organisation, you are more likely to develop stronger, longer term relationships."
Deloitte has a list of tips for success for NFP organisations to consider when approaching corporates for sponsorships. High on that list of tips is - "be innovative".
"Corporations love innovative approaches to solving complex problems, including their own. NFPs that are able to articulate a value proposition premised on 'mutual benefit' are more likely to be attractive. A NFP that can show how they can add value to a company – by improving staff engagement, strengthening the brand, and/or making them more competitive in the market – will have a higher chance of success," she says.
The future:
As both the influence and impact of corporate philanthropy increases, there is a greater appreciation of the role that business can play in addressing societal needs.
This idea is the central premise underpinning the concept of "shared value", being advocated by Michael Porter and Mark Kramer of the Harvard Business School.
"Shared value", as defined by Porter and Kramer, "... is a change in mindset that involves creating economic value in a way that also creates value for society by addressing its needs and challenges. It is not social responsibility, philanthropy or even sustainability, but a new way to achieve economic success." (2011 Harvard Business Review feature article, titled Creating Shared Value: How to reinvent capitalism—and unleash a wave of innovation and growth).
Tharani believes that this concept will define the future direction of business and corporate philanthropy and recommends that NFP organisations stay ahead of the curve with regards to its development.
By adapting a 'shared value approach' to business and corporate philanthropy, Tharani believes that we will be better able to connect a company's success with societal improvement - thereby benefiting the company, the NFP organisation and the broader community.
She leaves Private Matters' readers to contemplate a pertinent quote from the CEO of PepsiCo, Indira Nooyi, about the role of business can play in society and in enabling social change.
"Companies can no longer perform and toss the costs back to society. We believe that the new future is public and private partnerships, where companies feel responsible for society at large. How can we as a company do better, by doing better?"
(PepsiCo has embraced the concept of shared value with its mantra "Performance with Purpose", the foundation of how it does business. For PepsiCo: "Performance with purpose means delivering sustainable growth by investing in a healthier future for people and our planet". Source: PepsiCo website).

Roanoke, Virginia
Major: Experimental Psychology in the College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences and the College of Graduate and Professional Studies
Campus involvement: Vice President of the Graduate Student Council, and a member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology
After receiving her bachelor's degree in psychology, Amory Cox was ready for a graduate program that would give her the experience of being a graduate teaching fellow as well as the flexibility to design a research project that fits her interests. Radford University's psychology program was her clear choice.
Cox says psychology is the perfect combination of science and the social aspects of life.
"I have always had a heart for working with children and psychology allows me to do that while incorporating science and statistics in the process," she said. "In the field of psychology, I will always have an opportunity to make a positive influence in a child's life."
Cox's master's thesis, titled Investigating the Role of Age and Empathy in Preschoolers' Likelihood to Help an Older Adult, gave her the opportunity to conduct research in developmental psychology – a topic that fascinates her.
"I have always been interested in what motivates children to help others and engage in pro-social activities," she said. "In doing my literature review, I found many articles on predictors of pro-social behaviors; however, empathy was not one that had previously been researched. I took the opportunity to design a research project around that topic."
After graduation, Cox has a position as a research specialist in Salem, Va.

Metro busts four for selling Spice
The Lafayette County Metro Narcotics United arrested three people recently for allegedly selling synthetic marijuana.
"We couldn't have done this without the help of other area law enforcement agencies, particularly the University Police Department," said Agent in Charge Keith Davis.
In the last two weeks, the Narcotics Unit, with the help of UPD officers, visited several local businesses suspected of selling the artificial marijuana, known by several brand names including K2, Spice, Demon, Voodoo, Genie and Zohai. The leafy material is marketed as an incense, although by smoking it, it is said to have similar effects to that of marijuana.
The UPD officers posed as undercover buyers at the establishments. According to Davis, three people were arrested for selling the now-illegal substance. (September 15, 2010, Page 2)

EVANSTON, Ill. – The Miami University field hockey team had its opportunities to score, but a strong defensive game from 11th-ranked Northwestern led the Wildcats to a 3-0 victory on Monday. The RedHawks fall to 2-3 on the season, while Northwestern improves to 4-1.
The game remained scoreless until the 13th minute when Kristin Wirtz was able to beat Miami senior goalkeeper Sarah Mueller after a great pass into the circle. The Wildcats had a couple of other opportunities to score, but the RedHawk defense stood tall, while Mueller made a pair of saves.
Northwestern scored two more goals off penalty corners during the first 15 minutes of the second half. Miami responded by taking play into its offensive zone, and was rewarded with eight penalty corners during the period. Junior back Ali Froede was able to get a shot off that hit the back of the net, but the initial shot was too high and the goal was waved off.
The RedHawks best chances to score came in the last 20 minutes of the contest. Freshman midfielder Carla Romagosa set up a couple of her teammates with strong passes, but shots by junior midfielder Valentina Neira and sophomore midfielder Bea Dechant were stopped by the Wildcat keeper.
Senior forward Emily Gruesser led Miami with two shots in the game. Mueller finished with five saves. Senior back Sid Marcum recorded a defensive save. The RedHawks had an 8-6 advantage in penalty corners.
The challenging non-conference schedule continues for the RedHawks next weekend when it heads to College Park, Md. for the Terp Invitational. On Saturday, Miami takes on American at 1 p.m. On Sunday, the RedHawks face the host, second-ranked Maryland, at 2 p.m.

This ZenPack is similar to the Windows SNMP Performance Monitor (Advanced), but it provides a template template SNMPDevice, available under /Server/Windows instead of separate device classes. It is intended for single processor systems, whereas the Advanced version is for multi-processor systems.
Thanks Ryan!

Heyneke Meyer says the value of the narrow wins on their European tour will be evident in the years ahead.
I've written extensively about what the potential fruits of this tour for the clutch of young and inexperienced players in particular will be and believe more strongly now that they will be central to the Springboks' resurgence in 2013.
Better Springboks sides with better individuals have not matched what this scratch team achieved against the backdrop of a injury-ravaged season. Optimism must now take root, and Meyer urged this.
'To win all three games is most positive. We've not used to playing in these conditions. The youngsters have adapted well, what they give up in experience they make up for in excitement. That really helped us,' he began. 'The set phases have been much better as was our kicking game. Pat [Lambie] was superb today. Youngsters like Eben [Etzebeth] stood up away from home, as did others. Its easier to win at home than away, and we've now won three on the trot, which is very encouraging. I really believe you'll only see the benefits of a tour like this in the years ahead. That our depth is better and players that would otherwise have been on the fringe have this sort of experience is hugely valuable.'
There will be those who'll lament the manner of their victories – defence ruling attack. We should, however, never lose sight of the fact that this was a Springboks side robbed of some of its best players, one at the end of the longest season in their careers and few settled combinations. Certainly there needs to be an improvement on attack, this level of defence is unsustainable, but for now Meyer lauded the defence resolve of his team.
'This is how you win trophies. The World Cup is going to be here so its good that we have the experience of grinding out the wins like we did tonight. This team has come a long way. For me I don't care how we did it, but we won,' he said.
Captain Jean de Villiers reinforced Meyer's view. 'Its 50 per of the game and we're up there with the best, if not the best, at it at the moment. The attitude and determination the guys showed in defence you can't coach. As a captain that makes me very proud.'
Asked to assess the season more broadly, Meyer said: 'It depends whether you look at glass half full or half empty. There were only three loses and those came against the top countries in the world. There were great [Springboks] sides that have come over here and didn't win. We brought an inexperienced side, were ranked number four team in the world and now end as number two. I would have taken that if offered, especially with some of my superstars out. The youngsters put their hands up. Other players did as well
and the guys coming back have to play hard for their places next year.'

He's taking off with the tow-bar still attached!
I've seen this video so many times and I never get tired of watching it.
I've seen it before too but it must have been redone a little. I don't recall seeing the A380 in the earlier ones and I sure thought I saw one in here. Either that or my mind has insulted a 747 real bad.lol
That is one I cannot get tired of.
The 380 is cool, even though I do not like the plane itself....
some people have too much time
Just back from visiting the exhibition in Hamburg and it was absolutely amazing. We spent 7 hours in there and could easily have spent another 7 and still not have seen it all.
WAIT A MINUTE!! Where did that Space Shuttle Orbiter come from at the very end???? No wonder they rolled out the Crash Trucks!
Here's another video of it - showing the complete miniature setting - and the airport is only a small fraction of the layout !
It lands just like other aircraft. There's an episode on youtube of Gerry's Diary (the guy who leads the team in building this) that talked about the space shuttle.
That is nice... It has been around awhile... I wonder if they ever have Runway Incursions.... :)

- You will see a Jetty instance, its state, and icon displayed. Use the popup menu opened by clicking on Jetty in the Servers view to start/stop and deploy/undeploy your webapps.

The schools rugby season resumes on Saturday after the long July holiday with Pretoria Boys High hosting Grey College at 3pm.
The playing field has been levelled slightly this year by the interference of Saru's high-performance programme, which sees a number of the Grey College players, including their top stars, unable to play because they will be in East London where the SA side meet France on Friday.
Boys High have lost just one player to the high-performance squad – speedy winger Richmond Collins – while Grey have seven out: Johan Goosen, Ruwellyn Isbel, Paul Jordaan, Kevin Luiters, William Small-Smith, Neethling Fouche, and Neil Jordaan.
However, Boys High coach Greg Hassenbach has no illusions about the size of the task they face.
'I guess, in any year, Grey can put out a 2nd XV that is capable of beating most teams, so the side we will be facing will be very strong, even without their stars,' he told keo.co.za.
'We only got the side together late last week and have had a few good practice sessions and a game against the Harlequins U19 side that went quite well, so I know the boys will be up for it and will keep trying throughout.'
Hassenbach thinks the long break might do his side good.
'All the niggles and injuries have had time to heal and everyone is fresh and enthusiastic,' he said. 'On the other hand the Grey boys will have had a busy holiday with practices before Craven Week and three hard games there, so they will be less fresh.'
Grey will be travelling up by train for what is one of the biggest schools rugby fixtures on the schools calendar (last year there were 27 rugby games played on the day). Their 1st XV team will, however, arrive in Pretoria on Friday and stay in a hotel.
'So, while the rest of our sides may benefit from their opponents spending a cold night on the train the night before, the firsts won't get that advantage,' Hassenbach said.

The Jikes RVM project aims to provide a high-quality state-of-the-art open-source infrastructure for programming language research. Of course, this requires a significant investment in system maintenance and enhancement, to keep the system running on new environments and to keep up with the latest innovations in language design and implementation practice.
Feedback and contributions from the research community are the indispensable, invaluable resource that will ensure the project's continued success. Please help to improve some aspect of the system; no improvement is too small or too simple! The more volunteers can contribute, the better the system will serve the research community, resulting in faster and more solid research results.
How can you help Jikes RVM?
Jikes RVM is a fairly large, complex, and perhaps intimidating system. However, there are many to-do items which don't require extensive Jikes RVM expertise.
This page highlights a selection of low-hanging fruit for potential contributions. Many of these selections also appear in the bug and RFE (Request For Enhancement) trackers. Please volunteer to pluck these fruit, or suggest other high-priority, but low-effort tasks by creating new tracker entries. This list is of course nowhere near comprehensive, but exists just as a sampling of potential activities.
All contributions to Jikes RVM are managed via the Patch tracker.
Please let us know if the list below is out-of-date by entering a bug against the website.
Some low-hanging fruit in no particular order
- Contribute missing sections or clarifications to the User Guide: If you run across some problem or area that is not well-documented in the User Guide, please write a short section for inclusion. Also, please help us improve the installation section to cover any installation problems you run into that are not documented. If you are interesting in contributing to the User Guide, or to other pieces
of online documentation maintained in our wiki, we're quite willing to give you write access to the wiki pages. Please contact a Steering Committee member.
- Improve Javadoc comments in system code: We realize that the quality of Javadoc ™ comments is haphazard; please help us improve it.
- Contribute sanity and performance tests: The system's test infrastructure is set up to test and run standard benchmarks and sanity tests in a uniform framework. This functionality helps foster reproducible performance results, and exercises the system nightly to shake out bugs. If you're adding new code to the system, please consider contributing tests for it.
- Complete missing pieces of library interface: There are a handful of methods in Jikes RVM's implementation of a few core library classes (java.lang.Class, java.lang.Runtime, java.lang.Throwable) that throw VM_UnimplementedError. Provide an implementation for one of these methods.
- Improve efficiency of some optimizing compiler phase: Many of the optimizing compiler passes use sub-optimal data structures, and compile-time could easily be improved. Some simple phases to start with include the local optimizations and flow-insensitive optimizations.
- Strip mining: This optimization would be profitable, by reducing the overhead of yield point checks in tight loops.
- Global Array Bounds Check Elimination: While the literature presents several algorithms for array bounds check elimination, the optimizing compiler does not have a complete implementation. Note that there are some non-trivial technical difficulties with ABCD, regarding integer overflow. A simple range propagation dataflow solver would be an improvement over what the system has now (namely nothing).
- Implement missing JNI functionality: See tracker items: OnLoad, OnUnload, CreateJavaVM, Attach/DetachCurrentThread
- A number of other possible projects can be found on the Possible Projects page that was put together for our Google Summer of Code proposal.

Women's Journal: Bobcats know ties won't fly in playoffs
Kelly Babstock recently notched her 200th career point. (Photo: Quinnipiac Athletics)
It was a wild and crazy end to the regular season this year in the ECAC. Clarkson, Harvard and Cornell entered the final day of the season in a battle for the top three spots in the league. Since the three teams were separated by just one point in the standings on the final day of the season, the determination of the top three seeds for the league playoffs came down to the wire.
The end of the regular season was a disappointment for Cornell. The Big Red controlled their own destiny since they entered the final two games of the regular season in sole possession of first place, but finished third after they lost both games last weekend.
Harvard was tied with Clarkson for second place ahead of the final weekend, but the Crimson's tie with Yale Friday combined with a Clarkson win over Rensselaer meant Harvard sat one point behind Clarkson on Saturday morning. Harvard beat Brown on Saturday to earn two points, but could not catch up to Clarkson, who won the regular season championship when it took care of business with a win over Union Saturday. Harvard will be the No. 2 seed in the ECAC tournament.
The ECAC tournament will feature three other New England teams as No. 4 Quinnipiac, No. 7 Yale and No. 8 Dartmouth also qualified for tournament spots.
Quinnipiac enters the postseason looking to polish up on the finishing details of its game. The Bobcats led the nation in ties this season with nine, but in many of those games, Quinnipiac had a lead that it let slip away. Since ties will not fly in the postseason, the Bobcats have spent much of the lead-up to the playoffs attempting to buckle down on its effort in all three areas of the game.
"We've been evolving this half, we're a little tighter defensively and we're attacking much harder from an offensive standpoint so I think things are coming together at the right time," said Bobcats coach Rick Seeley. "But our conference is tough. It doesn't matter who you're playing. It's going to be a great series."
The ECAC plays a semi-forgiving best-of-three quarterfinal format, which will take place at campus sites this weekend ahead of the single-elimination semifinals and a championship game held at campus sites next weekend.
Here's a look at the ECAC playoff bracket:
No. 1 Clarkson vs. No. 8 Dartmouth
Friday at 3:30 p.m.
Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
Sunday at 2 p.m. (if necessary)
No. 2 Harvard vs. No. 7 Yale
Friday at 7 p.m.
Saturday at 4 p.m.
Sunday at 4 p.m. (if necessary)
No. 3 Cornell vs. No. 6 Princeton
Friday at 3:30 p.m.
Saturday at 2 p.m.
Sunday at 2p.m. (if necessary)
No. 4 Quinnipiac vs. No. 5 St. Lawrence
Friday at 7 p.m.
Saturday at 4 p.m.
Sunday at 2 p.m. (if necessary)
Over in Hockey East, the playoff picture at the top of the standings was more stable entering the final weekend of the season. Boston College and Boston University locked up the first and second seeds, respectively, before the final weekend, and Northeastern and Vermont were assured of home ice but used the weekend to determine who would finish third (Northeastern) and who would take the four-spot (Vermont).
The bottom of the standings featured four teams separated by four points entering the weekend, but it was only last-place Maine who improved its stock, as it swept then-fifth-place Connecticut to steal the fifth-seed away from the Huskies. Sixth-place Providence and seventh-place New Hampshire were both swept last weekend as well, so they were bumped down one place each in the standings.
That means No. 8 UNH has the unenviable task of facing No. 1 BC – who has only lost two league games all year – in the single-elimination quarterfinals.
Boston University enters this year's tournament as the two-time defending Hockey East Tournament champions, but this March could prove more difficult for the Terriers, who were a mediocre 4-4 in February.
"Right from the get-go in the playoffs, it's going to be a one-and-done scenario," said BU coach Brian Durocher. "Maybe in the past couple years, we had that type of firepower where the No. 1 – No. 8 or No.2 - No.7 match-up was maybe a game where we were favored by a couple goals, but I think this year if you look around, it's going to be a knockdown, drag-out one-goal game.
"You're hoping the hockey gods and performances are on your side on that one day because it is a challenge."
All quarterfinal games will be held at campus sites before the league moves to Hyannis for the semifinals and championship game.
Here's a look at how the Hockey East quarterfinals shake out:
No. 1 Boston College vs. No. 8 New Hampshire – Friday at 7 p.m.
No. 2 Boston University vs. No. 7 Providence – Saturday at 3 p.m.
No. 3 Northeastern vs. No. 6 Connecticut – Friday at 7 p.m.
No. 4 Vermont vs. No. 5 Maine – Saturday at 1 p.m.
Player of the Week
Kelly Babstock, Quinnipiac
The senior forward hit the 200-career point marker in the Bobcats' final regular season game with an assist in the second period of a 3-0 win over Colgate. Babstock is the first women's hockey player in Quinnipiac history to reach 200 career points.
Power Rankings
Boston College (Overall: 25-5-3, Hockey East: 18-2-1) – The Eagles look unstoppable heading into the postseason. They have just one loss on the books since Nov. 29 and just two league losses all season. Their 5-1 pounding over No. 2 seed Boston University to close out the regular season probably does not bode well for anyone else in Hockey East.
Harvard (Overall: 21-4-4, ECAC: 16-3-3) – The Crimson have played in quite a few tight games recently, as six of their last nine games have either been one-goal or tie games. Harvard might be hoping practice in tight games makes perfect, as it faces a Yale team in the ECAC quarterfinals that it never beat during the regular season.
Quinnipiac (Overall: 20-5-9, ECAC: 11-4-7) – The Bobcats clinched a home-ice spot thanks to a come-from-behind win over No. 3 Cornell last Friday and a 3-0 blanking of Colgate on Saturday. Their quarterfinal match-up against St. Lawrence will be tough, however, as they were unable to beat St. Lawrence during the regular season.
Northeastern (Overall: 18-13-2, Hockey East: 13-6-2) – The late-surging Huskies enter the postseason with wins in 11 of its last 12 games, and if Northeastern can continue playing its best hockey right now, it could be in good shape to contend for its first Hockey East Tournament championship in program history.
Boston University (Overall: 21-12-1, Hockey East: 14-7-0) – After recording all seven of its conference losses in the second half of the season, the Terriers have to be hoping they have gotten their losing ways out of their system. The home ice playoff berth might help in the quarterfinals, as BU is 4-0 in Hockey East quarterfinal games at Walter Brown Arena.

How to Shop Around for a Landscape Designer
As with any professional contractor, shop around. Have at least three prospective designers meet with you at the property and provide a drawing and detailed bid. The cheapest bid may not be the best option if it fails to address an obvious eyesore such as hiding an ugly utility box in your front yard. Get references from former or current clients and call those references. Better yet, drive by the property to see if you like the designer's work.
Even the best weekend warriors can benefit from professional design help to give their home curb appeal that could make the difference between a 'for sale' sign and a 'sold' sign.

How does UNDP do business
How we do Procurement in UNDP?
What is Procurement?
Procurement is the overall process of acquiring goods, civil works and services which includes all functions from the identification of needs, selection and solicitation of sources, preparation and award of contract, and all phases of contract administration through the end of a services' contract or the useful life of an asset.
UNDP procurement principles
UNDP manages procurement activities by adhering to the following general principles:
- Best Value for Money
- Fairness, Integrity, Transparency
- Effective International Competition
- The Interest of UNDP
Procurement methods
UNDP Procurement is based on competitive bidding. Depending on the type, complexity, size and value of the project and its procurement elements, commonly used methods of solicitation include:
Request for Quotation (RFQ)
An RFQ is an informal invitation to submit a quotation, usually for goods/services/civil works at a value between US$5,000 and $100,000. Prices, and other commercial terms and conditions are requested and award is made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer.
Invitation to Bid (ITB)
An ITB is a formal invitation to submit a bid, usually associated with requirements that are clearly and concisely defined, with an estimated procurement value of US$100,000 or more. Normally price is the sole determinant in making an award. Where all technical criteria are met, award is made to the lowest bidder.
Request for Proposal (RFP)
An RFP is a formal request to submit a proposal, usually associated with requirements for services, which can not be clearly or concisely defined, with an estimated procurement value of US$ 100,000 or more. Price is only one of several factors comprising the evaluation criteria. Award is made to the qualified bidder whose bid substantially conforms to the requirement set forth on the solicitation documents and is evaluated to be the lowest cost to UNDP.
In some cases, exceptions to competition are being made and direct contracting is used. This usually happens when a Long-Term Agreement (LTA) is in place, either globally (IAPSO or HQ) or locally (at country office level). For values less than US$5,000, country offices may engage in local shopping.
Evaluation of offers
Depending on the procurement method, different factors take on the key role in the evaluation process. When evaluating RFQs and ITBs, the price is the most important element. In contrast to this, and RFP requires a technical evaluation. The technical component primarily determines whether the proposal will be accepted or declined. Additionally, UNDP evaluates its products and services based on the following criteria.
Meet technical specifications
Environmentally sound
Quality Assurance
Accuracy of documentation
Speed of response
Customer service
Conditions of contract
In order to be a future supplier for the United Nations Development Programme, you have to accept our General Terms and Conditions.
Depending on your deliverables, the following applies:
General Terms and Conditions for Goods
General Conditions of Contract for Professional Services
UNDP General Conditions for Purchase Orders
Supplier Code of Conduct
General Conditions for Individual contractors
Hiring consultants:
70% of UNDP's procurement expenditures are spent for services. These could be executed by companies or individuals. At the country office level, the first step in selecting Suppliers is often market research, particularly if the product or service has not previously been procured. Business Units may source Suppliers through an expression of interest for commonly procured goods, registration of prospective Suppliers at UNGM and/or business seminars, where applicable.
Every country office establishes and manages its own supplier database. Once a roster of potential qualified Suppliers has been generated, Business Units evaluate each Supplier's capabilities and resources to successfully perform on a contract, if awarded.
The key parameters, which guide Supplier appraisal, include:
Technical capacity to deliver the goods and/or services as per schedule;
Financial strength, where the quick ratio is the most widely used test of a company's financial strength and liquidity.
The commitment of management to comply with UNDP General Terms and Conditions; and Evidence of meeting national or international quality standards for the product offered; or evidence of national and international acceptance of its services;
Production capacity to provide after-sales-service for the goods or services provided;
Environmental compliance (i.e. ISO 14000 Certification) ; and
Participation in the UN Global Compact.

package him with vasques to increase his value and get a vet SF who can score
The guy is definitely in the doghouse, which sux coz I had pretty high hopes for him. What trades do you think may be possible?
So far I think Anthony Morrow from Atlanta (they need SF help in a bad way) or Kirk Hinrich from Chicago (They would prolly consider him an upgrade at backup SF) could work and seem semi-possible. What ideas you got?
package him with vasques to increase his value and get a vet SF who can score
Vasquez + Aminu for a SF ruins us at PG though, doesnt it?
I've been wondering about a trade involving Aminu, but his value is pretty low b/c he's a one dimensional type player with a $3m price tag.
Brings in another big to relieve Lopez and help keep him at the 15-20 min mark.
Unloads Aminu and brings competition in for Smith.
Seems the Wolves are crowded ar PG now with Rubio back, Let Vasquez and Shved split time at point and move Roberts over to SG.
Unloads Aminu and brings in a PG and C to tinker with for one season.
Aminu is basically an expiring contract at this point, just like Henry. He has little to no value as an actual player in a trade. Only way I could see him being moved is for another expiring or as a part of a package to make a trade worth. Otherwise, he is more valuable to the Hornets as a guy just falling off the cap this summer
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I wonder if Aminu would be better with a team that plays faster. I think if he could land with the Rockets or someone like that he would be ok
How about this one, a three way trade that will be able to be made on January 15th:
Hornets give Aminu and Henry
Hornets receive: Wayne Ellington and Darrell Arthur
Magic Give: JJ Reddick
Magic Receive: Henry, Aminu, and Grizz 1st rounder
Grizz receive: JJ Reddick
Grizz give: Arthur, Ellington, 1st
Hornets pick up a decent backup 2 in Ellington and an insurance policy in case Smith can't come back this year in Arthur. Also, when he was a rookie in Memphis, Arthur was the guy Vasquez had the best chemistry with.
Memphis is hot for Reddick and give up essentially 2 third stringers on their team and a late first for a guy who could put them over the top. Magic continue their rebuild, get a look at two young guys and get another 1st rounder for a player they will lose anyway this summer.
Arthur can't be traded until January 15th, so that holds the deal up for now, but makes it possible before the deadline.
Would the Grizz give up all of that for Reddick? Seems odd.
Aminu needs to play with a Chris Paul or Andre Miller type of pg. Jason Kidd also fits the bill. I would try to trade him to a team with a pg like that. I personally think that he will benefit from Gordon being back. Gordon is a competent guard that will be able to hit the open man on a fast break. The Hornets have virtually zero fast break offensive points. Once that happens, Aminu's trade value will go up.
Don't show this to Dallas fans as they love him but Rodrique Beaubois is done in Dallas, shooting 30% and only playing garbage minutes at best. Could be a Dell trash for trash type of trade, Beaubois has potential as does Aminu - maybe a new system helps each player.
Follow me on Twitter - www.twitter.com/ryinthehottub
I don't think Mavs fan care about what happens to Beaubois... They should all be on the Mayo train by now...
If we move him, I hope it's for a valuable asset, which I doubt is doable unless its another underachieving young expiring player. I don't want to take in any salary unless we land an impact player.
I'd rather use him and Henry as expirings and let them come off the books. We know we're not competing this year, so my as well go into FA with as much money as possible. Unless, both Henry and Aminu are used as extras to pull in a big trade.
Morrow is an interesting player, don't feel like looking up his contract but as long as its around 2-3 million I'd trade either X or Aminu for him. Dude can stroke it, him and Ryno on the court together would be disgusting.
EDIT:I lied, he's a 4 mill expiring and I'd ship both of X and Aminu to Atl if they wanted for him. Give him half a season to see if he fits here as a back up 2/3. Can he play the 3?
Last edited by GeauxPelicans; 12-19-2012 at 05:14 PM.
I don't think Morrow fits in a slow paced offense. He is at his best when he plays in a run and gun style.
Aminu and Henry for Will Bynum and Austin Daye in a trash for trash deal wouldn't be awful. I like Will Bynum.
Would you guys take a chance on Michael Beasley?
