Description / Features
The plugin enables analysis of PHP projects within SonarQubeTM.
It is compatible with the Issues Report plugin to run pre-commit local analysis.
It relies on well-known external tools: PHPUnit, PHP Depend, PHPMD and PHP CodeSniffer.
- Install the PHP Environment
- Install the plugin through the Update Center or download it into the SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
- Restart the SonarQubeTM server
Run a SonarQubeTM Analysis with the Sonar Runner (Recommended Way)
To run an analysis of your PHP project, use the Sonar Runner.
Sample projects are available on GitHub that can be browsed or downloaded: /projects/languages/php.
You can also have a look at the Sonar Runner documentation page to define a multi-module PHP project.
Run a SonarQubeTM Analysis with the other Analyzers
Maven and Ant can also be used to launch analysis on PHP projects.
Advanced Settings
Disabling or enabling external tools on demand
It is possible to disable each external tool. By default, all the external tools are enabled.
Configuring PHPUnit to be run by SonarQubeTM
To configure the execution of PHPUnit, it is recommended to create a configuration file and set the path to this file with the
sonar.phpUnit.configuration property.
If a configuration file is not used, the following property can be set to configure the execution of PHPUnit:
Default value
If true, PHPUnit will ignore any phpunit.xml file for launching the unit tests.
The project main test file including the relative path, ie: "/source/tests/AllTests.php". If not present, PHPUnit will look for phpunit.xml file in the test directory.
Ignore the unit tests files matching this pattern.
Use this bootsrap file to initialize the unit tests.
If true, it will append test directory to PHPUnit. This will make PHPUnit look for test cases inside this directory. If several directories are defined as test directories, a phpunitRANDOM.xml file will be generated and passed to phpunit --configuration=. This generated file will contain all files inside the test directories.
|Only runs tests from the specified group(s).
|To specify which TestSuiteLoader implementation to use.
Reusing existing reports
To reuse existing reports from PHP Depend, PHPUnit, etc.:
- Set the
sonar.<external_tool>.analyzeOnlyproperty to
- Set the path to the report in
sonar.<external_tool>.reportPath. Path is relative to the base directory (where you for a mono-module project...
Excluding files
Most of the time, using the exclusion properties will be enough to exclude files from being reported by SonarQubeTM. However, there might be some cases where you really want to exclude files from being analyzed by an external tool (may it be PHP CodeSniffer, PHPMD or PHP Depend):
- a file is badly written and the tool is crashing when analyzing this file, thus preventing SonarQubeTM from completing the analysis
- a big number of files must be excluded and there's no need for the external tools to spend time analyzing files that won't be reported in SonarQubeTM
For these specific cases, you should use the
sonar.xxxx.argumentLine property of the external tool to manually define exclusions. For instance, for PHP CodeSniffer, you would add the following property:
This would tell PHP CodeSniffer to ignore every PHP file located in the Database folder.
See PHP FAQ.
See Metrics documentation page.
Extending Coding Rules
See the tutorial to extend coding rules with PHP CodeSniffer and/or PHPMD.
- PHP 1.2 - short-term activity (see the JIRA open tickets)
- Improve the PHP CodeSniffer rule repository (adding missing parameters, descriptions, ...)
- Work on the "Sonar Way", PEAR and Zend profiles (<= for PHP gurus! )
- PHP 2.0 - mid-term activity
- Handle multiple files with the same name
- Consider root folders as "Projects"
- Non structured PHP files
- If it turns out that those tickets are technically difficult/long to implement, then they can be postponed

Minutes of meeting held on the 1st March 1939, at 24 New Oxford St., W.C.
Present: Lord Faringdon (Chairman), Mr. T. Blewitt, Mr. R. Calder, Mr. C.H. Norman, Mr. Le Gros Clark, Mrs. Manning, Mrs. I. Brown, Professor J.A. Marrack, Mr. G. Jeger.
Apologies for absence were received from Dr. H. Boyde, and Dr. J. Gillison.
1) Minutes of meeting held on 22nd February were confirmed and signed.
2) Matters arising:
a) The meeting at Friends House on Friday February 24th had not been a success. The hall was less than half filled. The collection amounted to £30, which just covered the cost of the advertisements. The hire of the hall (£15) was therefore a loss to the Committee. Although extensively advertised there was insufficient time for effective publicity except upon a large and expensive scale.
b) The German Jewish Aid Committee had made application for the entry into this country of Dr. Glaser and his wife. It was agreed that to facilitate this, we give an assurance to the Home Office that we would assist them to emigrate to Mexico.
c) Premises. A house in Great Russell Street, consisting of 14 rooms, had been offered to us at £100 per annum exclusive. The Organising Secretary stated that he was in touch with the National Joint Committee regarding a joint tenancy and they were definitely interested. He was empowered to continue negotiations in respect of this house, in collaboration with the National Joint Committee.
d) The C.S.I. had reported that they had spent the £100 granted to them for urgent requirements on digitalin, which was being sent to the Central Zone.
e) Nurse Margaret Finley, was still in the Central Middlesex Hospital. No report had been received yet from Dr. Joules, but the Organising Secretary who had visited her stated that she would probably be there for at least another week. Blood tests, etc., were being taken.
3) Special Correspondence:
a) Re the Dieppe case. Letters from Mr. Hole regarding correspondence between himself and the C.S.I. lawyer Monsr. Audard. Definite replies to our questions had not yet been received, but Monsr. Audard stated that we were not entitled to negotiate in any settlement, as the Insurance Company has entire conduct of the proceedings and any interference on our part might lead them to repudiate their obligations.
The C.S.I. forwarded a copy of a letter received from the Insurance Company affirming that Mr. Hunt's failure to report the accident materially affected the issue, and that they were obliged to reserve their rights in any consequent legal action. It was agreed to forward this correspondence to Mr. Hole for his views.
b) From Dr. Quemada, now in Norway, thanking the Committee for the "splendid English personnel and material,'' and expressing his appreciation of our work in Spain.
c) A note from Mr. Roy Poole stating that he had been asked to go to Perpignan by the National Joint Committee to assist in their work for the refugees, and that he hoped that it might be possible to rescue more transport for us.

I was reading your posts for quite some time and i finally decided to write. It's been quite some time since i wrote in english so i'm sorry if i'm not making myself clear or else.
I know that you all think that TheChampion is a lost case (and he probably thinks the same about you) but still, i have to give it a shot.
The question i want to ask you come from Plato's work. It's not exacly the same question (because christians believe only in one god) but i would like to have an answer from a christian perspective.
The dilemma is:"is something good because god loves it, or do god loves it because it is good?"
I came across this by reading Plato's euthyphro and at

Anticipating more volatile weather, more extreme temperatures and violent storms in the future, scientists are busy analyzing the potential effects on agriculture.To help prepare for these potential changes, USDA recently completed a study and released a detailed report titled "Climate change and agriculture in the United States: Effects and adaptation."
Based on their analysis, the authors say the effects will be variable but mostly detrimental to crop and livestock production, which contribute about $300 billion per year to the U.S. economy. Direct effects such as rising temperatures and altered precipitation will reduce crop productivity more than any potential benefit from higher carbon dioxide levels, according to the report, and indirect effects such as changes in the competitive ability of weeds, diseases, insect pests and beneficial insects also will challenge productivity.
For livestock specifically, the report lists four ways in which climate change could affect productivity.
- Feed-grain production, availability and price: Each crop species has a given set of temperature thresholds that define the upper and lower boundaries for growth and reproduction, along with optimum temperatures for each developmental phase. Pollination, the authors note, is one of the most sensitive stages to temperatures, and exposure to high temperatures during this period can greatly reduce crop yields and increase the risk of total crop failure.
- Pastures and forage crop production and quality: Many perennial crops have a winter chilling requirement and yields will decline if the chilling requirement is not completely satisfied. Also, mid-winter warming can lead to early bud-burst or bloom of some perennial plants, resulting in frost damage when cold winter temperatures return.
- Animal health, growth and reproduction: For many species, deviations of core body temperature in excess of 2°C to 3°C cause disruptions of performance, production, and fertility, the report notes. For cattle that breed during spring and summer, exposure to high temperatures decreases conception rates. Livestock and dairy production may be more affected by changes in the number of days of extreme heat than by adjustments of average temperature.
- Disease and pest distributions: Warmer, more humid conditions will also have indirect effects on animal health and productivity through promotion of insect growth and spread of diseases. These effects are not well understood, but earlier springs and warmer winters could enable greater proliferation and survivability of pathogens and parasites. Regional warming and changes of rainfall distribution may lead to changes in distributions of diseases sensitive to temperature and moisture, such as anthrax, blackleg and hemorrhagic septicemia.
The report projects the U.S. agricultural system can largely adjust to climate change in the short term by expanding irrigated acreage, shifting regional crop preferences, rotating crops and changing management practices such as choice and timing of inputs and cultivation practices.
In the long term, however, the vulnerability of agriculture will depend on human responses according to the report. This will require "development of geographically specific, agriculturally relevant, climate projections for the near and medium term; effective adaptation planning and assessment strategies; and soil, crop and livestock management practices that enhance agricultural production system resilience to climatic variability and extremes." We'll also need research and development in new crop varieties that are resistant to drought, disease and heat stress.
The full report (193 pages) is available online from the USDA.

Protesters support rogue cop Dorner
People protest near the Los Angeles Police Department's headquarters in Los Angeles on Saturday in response to the death of fired ex-officer Christopher Dorner.
A bullet-riddled Los Angeles police vehicle in Corona, Calif., after, former Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner shot at two LAPD officers in the vehicle.
Protesters said they believed Dorner's claims that he was unfairly fired from the department in 2009 — grievances described in a lengthy online manifesto that has been attributed to him. Dorner also claimed that he was the victim of racism.
Protesters also said they were appalled by police mistakenly shooting at passengers in two separate trucks in Torrance, wrongly believing Dorner might be in the vehicles. One woman was shot in the back and is still recovering.
The protesters emphasized that they did not condone the killings of which Dorner is accused.
Michael Nam, 30, stood at the corner of 1st and Main Streets with a sign, painted by his girlfriend, showing a tombstone and the words "RIP Habeas Corpus." The tombstone was engulfed in flames.
Nam, of Lomita, said he was disturbed by the burning of a mountain cabin near Big Bear where Dorner barricaded himself with a high-powered sniper rifle, smoke bombs and a cache of ammo. The blaze started shortly after police fired "pyrotechnic" tear gas into the cabin; the canisters are known as "burners" because the intense heat they emit often causes a fire.
But authorities have maintained that the fire was not intentionally set.
Dorner, whose charred body was found in the cabin, appears to have died of a single gunshot wound to the head, authorities said.
"How the police handled this — they were the judge, the jury and the executioner," Nam said. "As an American citizen, you have the right to a trial and due process by law."
Nam, a former Marine and a current member of the Army National Guard, said he has combat experience from deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He said he has been in situations in which a combatant has been barricaded and successfully waited until the person surrendered, eventually getting "tired and coming out on their own."
Nam said it was "pretty obvious" police wanted Dorner dead. "What I saw was a complete disregard for the Bill of Rights," Nam said.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon, during a news conference Friday, defended the tactics used by his agency in the shootout at the mountain cabin, which left one of his deputies dead and another seriously wounded.
"The bottom line is the deputy sheriffs of this department, and the law enforcement officers from the surrounding area, did an outstanding job," he said. "They ran into the line of fire."
Protesters on Saturday said they organized the event through a Facebook page called "I support Christopher Jordan Dorner." The Facebook post announcing the protest tells attendees to "keep it PEACEFUL" and to bring recording equipment.
The Facebook page states: "This is not a page about supporting the killing of innocent people. It's supporting fighting back against corrupt cops and bringing to light what they do."
As the protesters stood Saturday, drivers passing by honked, waved and gave thumbs up. A handful of officers watched from police headquarters across the street.
Nam said he spoke to the officers before the protest began about what the protesters should do to keep the event peaceful. He said the officers were respectful.
The protesters marched around the block, circling an intersection near the department headquarters. They chanted, "LAPD, you are guilty."
Signs expressed anger at police and support for Dorner.
"If you're not enraged, you're not paying attention," one sign read.
"Why couldn't we hear his side?"
"Clear his name! Christopher Dorner"
Liliana Alaniz, 40, came with her family — her mother, sister, nieces and daughters — from Long Beach to join the protest, which she said was her first.
"I really, really believe he was innocent in the firing case," Alaniz said of Dorner.
Alaniz held a sign that read, "Trying to clear your name."
Her daughter, Andrea Tovar, said Dorner "has his supporters."
"Murder is never right, but neither is the law when it's unjust," said Tovar, 18. She said police need to know they "can't get away with everything."

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
Medical Author:
Bhupinder Anand, MD
Medical Editor:
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
What is flexible sigmoidoscopy?
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the rectum and the lower (sigmoid) colon. The flexible sigmoidoscope is a flexible tube 60 cm long and about the thickness of your little finger. It is inserted gently into the anus and advanced slowly into the rectum and the lower colon. It is an accurate and simple method of investigating the cause of rectal bleeding, change in bowel habit, and rectal symptoms such as pain and diarrhea. Flexible sigmoidoscopy also is a part of colon screening and surveillance for colon cancer.
What is the preparation for flexible sigmoidoscopy?
In order to obtain accurate results, the rectum and the lower colon must be completely clean of stool. Your doctor will give you detailed instructions on how to cleanse your colon. In general, this requires the use of one or two enemas prior to the procedure and may also call for a laxative and some dietary modifications. Under special circumstances, such as the presence of significant diarrhea, the preparation may be waived.
Do I continue my medications for flexible sigmoidoscopy?
In general, you can continue to take your regular medicines. You should, however, inform your doctor of all the prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking as well as any allergies you may have. Certain drugs increase the risk of bleeding if biopsies are performed; these include aspirin, blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin), and NSAIDs such as Motrin and Advil. Your doctor may ask you to stop these medications for several days before the procedure. You should also alert your doctor if you have an artificial heart valve, hip or knee prosthesis, or have a disease of the heart valves such as mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis, or mitral regurgitation. Patients with these conditions may need antibiotics prior to colonoscopy, or dental procedures to prevent infection of the heart valves or the prosthesis.

Any advice from people who have passed trough this situation?. This is not a big deal since i know that in time i will end up givint up ( as a natural result from the path that i have taken ) but i want the short and quick version.
Short and quick version:
In general you shouldn't be doing any kind of meditation when being high. Simply as that. So please, don't.
Besides that, i don't see a problem in smoking weed (unless you're in certain tibetan buddhist traditions where adding smoke in a room is belived to provoke some beings which in turn can create obstacles for your living). Weed is OK, weed is good. It's just that marijuana is a bit overrated!! And being sober with a peaceful mind is even better.
The real thing that worries me is that you're unable to willfully reject marihuana when people are smoking around you. Since marihuana is not really physically addictive, i'd say you perhaps are just being a bit self-indulgent. Discipline, my friend!!

Guest blog by Deborah Dubow Press, Regulatory Affairs Senior Manager, ASPCA Government Relations
It has been nearly eight years since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, forever changing the way America responds to natural disasters. The human and animal suffering wrought by Katrina and Superstorm Sandy should remain fresh in our minds as we enter another hurricane season, and preparedness should top the agendas of animal caretakers and policy makers.
That's why yesterday we were shocked to learn that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) may be reconsidering the disaster plan rule requiring all facilities licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act—this includes breeders, zoos, research facilities, dealers, and other exhibitors and intermediate handlers—to prepare emergency plans for protecting and caring for animals during disasters. Asking those who use animals commercially to demonstrate a level of readiness to protect animals in their custody is fair and reasonable. We are dismayed by the possibility that the USDA would waver on a rule that could save lives at such a small cost.
For the ASPCA responders who experienced Katrina, Sandy, and countless other disaster deployments firsthand, the horrors of these events have not faded from memory: dogs chained in yards and left to drown; cats starving to death in homes after evacuations dragged on and on; animals covered in oil and toxic sludge; dogs stranded on rooftops; animals wandering the streets malnourished, dehydrated, and frightened, many never to be reunited with their owners.
The more that pet owners and animal facilities prepare for emergencies, the better responders can focus their relief efforts when disaster strikes. We hope that ultimately the USDA will remember the heartbreaks of Katrina, Sandy, Joplin, and countless other disasters and renew its resolve to protect imperiled animals under its jurisdiction.
As usual, your intentions sound good and reasonable, but in reality they are not. To have all the groups you list, 'includes breeders, zoos, research facilities, dealers, and other exhibitors and intermediate handlers' and you also mention owners to have a "Plan" approved by the USDA for events that are often unlikely to occur is unreasonable. I think your actual goal is to put all of these group out of business, close zoos, close breeders, research facilities, etc. That is your true reason, so just admit it and be honest with your members.
I think this is the first time I've commented on anything on here, but the article was of interest to me and I definitely think it's important to have an emergency respond plan. Paul, your last statement seems to be one of hatred towards the ASPCA. From reading this article, I clearly see the importance of animals also being safe during these times. Putting those groups of out business is actually the thing that seems most unreasonable or unrealistic, therefore the ASPCA is asking for something realistic. I'm not sure what you mean by "events that are often unlikely to occur" since natural disasters have been happening quite a lot recently, not just in the U.S. and it's always better to be prepared.
Paul: If you believe that it is UNreasonable to have a plan, then perhaps what is unreasonable is to actually "handle" animals instead of protecting their natural habitats and protecting them to live free. What I read is that you are convinced that doing "business" with animals is the right thing, when in fact is NOT. Protecting animals and nature is our duty, now, if we "MUST" handle them, use them, parade them and enjoy them then the "price" for such activities and profits earned from it should go UP in order to acommodate such REQUIREMENT of safety.
In my opinion the purpose of a Zoo (secondary to being open to public) should be to protect and preserve animals, rescue them from abuse and care for them for the benefit of nature and the harmful intervention of humans. All the "other" organizations mentioned should not even exist!
To USDA perhaps if within budget it is not feasable financially, no one should aquire a "license" to handle animals.
A better world has to include a natural world.. let´s stop going against nature and animals.
Paul, considering that the rule applies to facilities that already have to be licensed and inspected by the USDA, it's hardly unreasonable for those inspections to include checking whether the facilities have a disaster-preparedness plan. This does not add significant work for the USDA, and it *is* reasonable to expect businesses and facilities that use/house animals to have a plan to protect - as the USDA website says - both the animals and the employees. You also claim that these things are "unlikely to occur" (implying that it's an unreasonable requirement to make people think about unlikely but devastating disasters). I'm pretty sure the whole concept of a disaster is that it's unusual and unpredictable and that's why you're supposed to have a plan for it. It also seems you may not have read the USDA rule, which specifies that "Each contingency plan will need to: identify types of emergencies common in the local area; identify common emergencies that could occur at their particular type of facility ...". In other words: this is a very reasonable rule. Will such a rule put some people out of business? Possibly, but that's the point of safety regulations in general: to put those facilities out of business that cannot operate responsibly.
Hey Paul... stop trolling and go f*#k yourself.
Right. Putting "breeders, zoos, research facilities, dealers, and other exhibitors and intermediate handlers' out of business is exactly MY intent, and what I want: universally. If you need an animal to make a living, then it's time to go get an education and a real job. Stop asking the government to watch-dog animal abuse, as they are clearly incapable of that, TOO. Just remove the access to animal ownership, other than a private pet, altogether.
I was hoping to learn some factual information in this blog post, but it reads like heavy-breathing drama. Give us some facts. Be specific. What was said, who said it, and why would they consider doing this. (Basic journalistic approach.) tia.
To ask for an emergency plan for protecting animals in their care seems to me the least one could expect from people earning their living from these animals. Given the rise of more climate emergencies, it's imperative that people have a plan in place, especially those who care for multiple animals, and that the USDA should be insisting on the plan not trying to get out of requiring it.
Please keep pressure on this agency to do what's right for living, sentient beings not to give way to commercial interests. Thanks for your work, on behalf of animals and their caretakers.
Unbelievable! These are some of the groups who should be LEADING the way and setting examples for the average animal household. As a first responder myself I continue to see time and time again the message is just now starting to get through to some animal owners to have a plan. Now, the USDA comes up with this? Have they forgot why so many people did not leave their homes during Katrina? Have they forgot why the PETS act was inacted and what it means? Why should a zoo, breeder (sigh) or any other agency be negligent in this area? This really makes my blood boil when they are endangering the lives of not only these helpless animals who have no say but then the first responders who then will be called upon to help (en mass) and deter from others as well. Another bad, bad idea from the USDA, :(
Sure, let's get all these animals locked up defenseless and not plan in case of a disaster... More, let's not plan for humans, too. This is ridiculous! Since humankind has started to keep animals under their control they are responsible for their safety and well-being. If one can't provide decent care for animals, they shouldn't be allowed to keep them. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...

Logan City police Patrolman James D. Adkins arrested two involved in an incident at Wal-Mart in Fountain Place. The two may be involved in other incidents targeting elderly victims around the state.
Adkins said he was on his way to respond to the report of a purse snatching at Wal-Mart, and he waited on Rt. 73 for the vehicle they had reported as the suspects having fled the scene in.
"I got in the center median and waited on the vehicle to come by. When I saw it go by, I turned and made a traffic stop on the vehicle. Once I finally got the vehicle stopped, I found the guy who was driving was Timothy D. Dolin, 28, of Madison and the passenger was Joyce Leona Lowry, 38, of Foster. I went ahead and placed the two under arrest and searched the vehicle.
"I found four other pocketbooks inside the vehicle. Once we got to the office and started processing and looking through the purses found in the vehicle, we discovered these two have been committing the same crime in other areas of the state. We have four to five other complaints of purse snatching or unarmed robbery that have taken place at Southridge at the Wal-Mart over there.
"Also, there are three other complaints at the Wal-Mart here in addition to the one we got them for. At the time, they fled and we didn't know who the suspects were. Other investigation revealed they are also being investigated at Madison in connection with incidents at Magic Mart and possibly drug charges or things of that nature. The good thing is we caught them and after talking with other agencies, they are also bringing forth charges for all of the complaints they have.
"The officer from South Charleston is going to come down and show us the complaints they have. I know for sure a couple of the purses I found in the vehicle belong to South Charleston and occurred on the same day. Also, after talking to troopers in Boone County, these two may be either on parole or probation. The courthouse is in the process of revoking whatever they were out on.
"They are currently incarcerated in the Southwestern Regional Jail on my charges of unarmed robbery only. There are approximately ten incidents for which they may face additional charges. Basically, it appears they have been all over the state doing this. We have pretty good evidence and the investigation is ongoing to find out what all they have been involved in."
In Adkins' complaint, Foster is accused of distracting the victim while co-defendant Dolin, took the victim's purse. Once the purse was in hand, the defendants left the store and fled the scene. Lowry and Dolin have each been preliminarily charged with second degree unarmed robbery.
Logan Police Chief E.K. Harper commented on this situation, "This crime was against an elderly person. Mr. Bennett and we are not going to tolerate crimes against elderly people. They seem to target elderly people. The one exception was the house that was broken into in Boone County. All the purse snatching in Madison and here have all been elderly people and that's why we are working to get these people with everything we've got."

The King has found his castle.
King, the one-year-old male feline who survived a vicious kick in Brooklyn, was adopted by Chris Scordo of Manhattan, who by chance saw a recent story about him in the Daily News.
"I went to a diner for breakfast [June 8] and someone had left their Daily News behind," explains Chris. "In the paper was a photo of this really handsome cat. I remembered seeing the earlier headline about him and thought the paper had been sitting around for a long time. I was sure the adoption was over. Then I saw the [paper's publication] date and headed to the ASPCA."
King, who suffered tissue injuries and bruising, was brought to the ASPCA's Animal Hospital on May 7 by NYPD officers after being located and trapped by representatives of various animal welfare organizations, including the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals.
Chris, whose 20-year-old calico named Chandler had died six weeks earlier from cancer, had thought about getting another cat.
"I didn't think I could replace her so soon, but I had a feeling when I saw King's photograph," he says. "He has a very expressive face—very bright-eyed. I liked him before I even met him."
To Chris' surprise, he was the first to arrive at the ASPCA and get the chance to interact with King. He met with Adi Hovav, a feline behavior counselor, who green-lighted the adoption after speaking at length with the life-long animal lover who has a soft spot for felines.
"I stayed up the whole night that first night—King needs a lot of engagement!" exclaims Chris, who works in the IT field, and often from home. "He acclimated right away after hiding for only an hour or so, and has been playing and exploring ever since. He's a fun cat—and a bit of a tough guy. I suppose that's how he survived."
After first hearing King's story, Chris was reluctant to watch the disturbing video (which immediately went viral) of King's abuse, but did so after adopting him. "I felt like I had to witness what happened, he says. "That guy not only betrayed King's trust, but what bothered me even more was that people were laughing. They should be held accountable, too."
Despite his ordeal, King remains trusting and positive—"a real New Yorker," according to Chris. King has taken to being held and is becoming more affectionate. "He was startled at first, but he now lets me hold him for short amounts of time," Chris reports. The feisty feline also loves munching meatballs. "Maybe he's part Italian?" Chris jokes.
As for King's name, Chris says he thought about changing it to 'Milo,' "after the Greek strongman, or something macho. But he was already a minor celebrity, and I didn't want to take that away from him."
"I hope something good comes of this; maybe King can be a symbol of peace," Chris adds. "I've seen the cruelty people can inflict on animals and I know he, like me, would want the laws stiffened."
Chris promises to give King the best life he can. "I was amazed at how many people were involved in finding him and caring for him," he says. "He'll never suffer again. He'll have a heated bed in the winter, the best food and medical care, all the toys he wants, and plenty of love and affection."
In other words, a life fit for a king.

"He'll never suffer again. He'll have a heated bed in the winter, the best food and medical care, all the toys he wants and plenty of love and affection." Dear Chris, what beautiful, moving words! You and your King are both royalty in my eyes. I am so sorry that you lost your Chandler. I know that you and King will honor her memory with many years of goodness, joy, fun, and mutual love. King is so expressive and soulful. I am elated that he is safe with you now. Love to you both!
My heart is so full of joy and pure sweet goodness knowing King has been adopted into your family. What a wonderful wonderful life King has in store for him (and you)
So good to hear a happy ending or rather beginning for King. I hope I never see that video of him being kicked. There are some sick people in the world, the ones who do such horrible and cruel acts and the ones who enjoy them. I can't imagine what makes people so sick. Anyway, bless you Chris for rescuing that beautiful cat. May you both live happily ever after.
thanks for your thoughts, but please do not think of mean cruel people as sick. It is too good for them. They are dangerous to all of us.
I completely agree, YaYa. I couldn't stand to watch that video, either. In fact, I was going to, but I just can't stand hearing about such vicious cruelty, let alone see it. (Frankly, I don't know why they let all of this prurient stuff on YouTube. I think it just encourages nasty people to do nasty things to be "famous.") But in any event, these people are sick. Very sick...but they are dangerous, as well.

This country has had, since its inception, numerous times of trials and tribulations, such as The Civil War, The Great Depression, The Dust Bowl in Oklahoma and surrounding states, the Flu Epidemic, etc. However, the strength, faith, and fortitude of the American people has always prevailed, as it will in the situations we currently face.
Sometimes we find ourselves wondering, though, if the Devil is at work among us. Which brings me to this question:
What would you do if you were the Devil?
If I were the Devil, I would want to engulf the whole world in darkness. I'd already own a sizable portion of it, but I wouldn't be satisfied until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree. And so I would set about to take over the United States of America.
I'd begin with a campaign of whispers. To you, as I had whispered to Eve, I'd say, "Do as you please." To the young I'd whisper, "The Bible is a myth, man created God instead of the other way around, what's bad is good, and what's good is square."
To the young married I'd whisper, "Work is debasing, and don't be extreme in religion, patriotism, or moral conduct." To all others I'd teach to pray, to say after me, "Our Father, which art in … Washington!"
Then I'd get organized. I'd educate authors on how to make lurid literature exciting, so that everything else would seem dull and uninteresting. I'd peddle narcotics to whomever I could, and the rest I'd tranquilize with pills. I'd get labor unions to demand more loafing, less work, because idle hands work for the Devil.
I'd get an atheist in Baltimore, Maryland, to front for me before the highest court in the land, and I'd get so-called experts to say, "She's right." With flattery, coercion, and promises of power I'd get various tribunals in this country to vote against God and in favor of Satanism. That way, I could evict God from the classroom, and the courtroom, and the halls of Congress.
If I were the Devil, I'd make the symbol of Easter … an egg, and the symbol of Christmas … a bottle. If I were the Devil, I'd take from those who have and give to those who wanted, until I had destroyed the incentive of the ambitious. Then, my police state could force everybody back to work, under government control.
In other words, if I were the Devil I'd just keep on doing a lot of the things that are being done in this country today and the whole world would go the Hell … as sure as the Devil!
Fortunately, we still live in the greatest country on earth, a nation under God, with truly justice and mercy for all, but it is incumbent upon us to keep it that way, and to be a beacon of light to the rest of the world. Most people I meet are truly wondrous and inspiring, seeking to make this world a better place in which to live.
When we hear people make negative statements and tend to place blame on others as a reason for their not doing great things, we can answer them the way Dr. Kent Keith did. He said, "Some people may be illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered … love them anyway. If you try to do right, some may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives...Do right anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies...Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow … do good anyway. Honesty may make you vulnerable...Be honest anyway."
And finally, some words to live by:
1. There are no short cuts to any place worth going
2. Don't wait for your ship to come in … swim out to meet it
3. Most things are difficult before they are easy
4. Blame softly; praise loudly
5. Be grateful for luck, but don't count on it
And I will close with this: Be brief, get to the point, because the more you say, the less they will remember.
Have a WONDROUS day!

Thanks Silverfoxx - long time lurker decided to start posting after last night's stirring win!
I wouldn't mind Breakers. Those colors are slick.
Does anybody else really love the Brooklyn Nets redesign and court design? So simple and brilliant. If we DID go Pelicans that's really the only way I'd like it - maybe if we just did a simple 2-color scheme (like the Saints' classy black/gold) and have it look old school with a Pelicans logo like this: We could totally rip off the Brooklyn Net's "retro" theme if we used a plain vintage logo and a parquet court with one color v's white.

Breakers is kind of bold and old school.
I hate ambiguous clues. Tautology.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Hey I saw Bigdub's uniform concept for the Breakers linked on a Saints message board once, but is there a thread or a place where I can view ALL of his concepts? I tried searching and had fun perusing old threads for an hour (my boss hates me) but I had no luck finding any of his concepts.
These are so beautiful. They'd instantly be a top 5 jersey in the current NBA along with the Wizards, 76ers, Warriors, Knicks, and Nuggets retros. I'd change the generic seagull into a pelican. I'd also love to see a grey home alternate as well as the royal blue road jersey. I'd also like to see "Davis 23" and "Gordon 10" instead of the gereric name/number just to make it really hit home. The court would be epic as well - imagine that wave creeping across the center court.
Bigdub took all of his work off of the site because he was pursuing making them for the hornets. Legal reasons he had to take them down, so nobody would steal his work etc.. I believe he has actually had contact with the Hornets. Not sure if he is working on anything for them but I think they looked at his concepts. Anyways his silence around here has to be good news.
So yesterday when I was trying to find BigDub's Breakers concept on Google, I stumbled upon this USFL news/history aggregating site and decided to email them to see if they had been contacted by anybody withing the Hornets for information on Breakers trademarks, etc. Realize it's a longshot but who knows?
Here's what they emailed back...
10:29 AM (2 minutes ago)
to me
No, I can say with at least a reasonable amount of certainty that this isn't going to happen. Two names have been registered for trademarks, "New Orleans Angels" and "New Orleans Spirit." If I had to lay $5 on it, I'd go with Angels, to go along with the Saints.
Realize that we probably know more than this guy (this is old news to us and we all feel confident that these two nickname options are dead by now) but just thought it was worth sharing.
Great initiative and great info.

Pretend quote... "We came out and played Angel's basketball"..not sure how i feel about this.
Angels and Spirit kinda sound like WNBA team names to me... oh well

Hate how all these minor league teams get our top choices
Breakers is a name I can definitly be proud of. Wouldn't be my first or second choice but it's definitely is a top the list. Plus I agree that the logo and color scheme is also really nice.

Professors and students published in academic journal
Drs. Dean Priest and Ron Smith, professors of mathematics, along with 2011 University alumna Christin Carlisle and 2012 University alumna Rebeccca Mays, published the article, "The Driver Problem: The Surfer Problem in 3D," which was published in the May 2013 issue of Mathematics Teacher, a National Council of Teachers of Mathematics publication and one of the nation's leading journals in mathematics education.
In the article, Priest and Smith explain how Carlisle and Mays successfully extended a well-known two-dimensional geometry problem — the surfer problem — into the world of 3-D. The scenario for the original problem is as follows: "A surfer, shipwrecked on an island in the shape of an equilateral triangle, wants to build a hut so that the sum of its distances to the 3 beaches is minimal. Where should the hut be located?"
The students extended this problem by figuratively constructing 3-D objects beneath the surface of the ocean and then appropriately locating a diver's living quarters inside these objects so that the sum of the distances from the living quarters to the surrounding waters would be minimal.
According to Priest and Smith, the students spent hundreds of hours on their work. Their findings and solutions were first presented in their senior capstone seminar. They later presented their work at a regional meeting of mathematicians at Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo. Finally, their results were submitted to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics where they were judged and accepted for publication in Mathematics Teacher.
"The entire mathematics department at Harding is proud of these students," Priest said. "These are two outstanding students who used all the skills necessary to discover their own problem and then find its solution — the same skills necessary for success in any of today's top graduate schools."

I reread End of Faith with as open of a mind as possible and I have come to a number of conclusions that I do not think I really thought about the first time when I was more interested in simply attacking Dr.(?) Harris.
I think the man has a number of good points, even if I do not agree with his final conclusion that all faith is bad. First of all, he is right in claiming that blind faith has caused all kinds of problems throughout history. Many people have died senselessly because of strange beliefs which had no basis in reality. Witch hunts are an obvious example. No rational person would come to the sort of conclusions that those witch hunting came to. Modern day terrorism comes to mind as well. The Islamic willingness to kill every living creature unless they willingly subject to Islamic law is frightening to say the least.
I also have come to agree that the Catholic Church's refusal to support condom use in every circumstance is not a good thing. I agree that the Church has made a grave mistake in not allowing condoms to make their way into the poorest regions of Africa. This is something the Church needs to seriously rethink, because like Sam Harris has pointed out, it is having disasterous results.
My problem, however, is that Harris never directly addresses those people who claim that faith and reason can, in fact, be reconciled. This is what I have a problem with. He never addresses any arguments that a theist may have for the existence of God. I believe that a rational person can believe in God without the sort of faith that Harris talks about. I do not believe that God can ever be "proven" absolutely to exist, but I think that one is able to make deductions from the available facts and come to believe in God. I think the same is true of Christianity. In his bibliography Harris has Richard Swineburn's Existence of God listed, but he never mentions him in his book or attempts to discuss his arguments for the existence of God. That is what I find rather strange.
The other thing that bothers me is his writing style. If one wants to convince unreasonable people to become reasonable I do not think it is wise to call them names or degrade them. I think most of Harris' points are good, but I do not think his forceful style is going to convince anyone who does not already agree with him. One has to learn to be tactful. Even if everything Harris says is true, I think he should tone it down a bit if he desires to actually convince anyone.
All that being said, I read the book and I did not lose my religion. I think he makes some good points and I think it is a book that religionists should read to make them think about their religion, but I think that I am able to believe in God while still being a rational person. To be more precise I think I am able to be a Christian without hating Sam Harris for saying what he said. I also believe, like Sam Harris, that all religious beliefs should be held to the same standard as any other belief and if there is insufficient reason to believe that belief, then it should be thrown out. I do not think that religious beliefs should be immune from criticism. Traditional Christianity certainly could learn a lot from that line of thinking, I believe. I do not think, however, any of my core beliefs are fundamentally threatened.
My last thought is that Sam Harris did not really present anything new with this book. I think he essentially took what Bertrand Russell wrote in his religious and ethical essays 70 years ago and shifted it to a 21st Century context. I am fairly confident that Harris would agree with that. Many of his criticisms of religion are identical to Russell's criticisms of Christianity. Over all, it is a good book even though I cannot agree that "faith" necessarily leads to evil.

iFlicks question...
Quick question regarding iFlicks.
I am ripping my DVD Library using Handbrake into an acceptable iTunes format, but when I bring it into iFlicks to tag it, iFlicks wants to re-encode it for iTunes again. Is there anyway to just tag the file and that's it?
|Oct 8, 2012, 02:06 PM
Are you using iTunes Compatible in the drop down menu? iTunes Compatible only updates the metadata.

iDentify 2 a chance and it works pretty well, although I don't think it can import into iTunes like iFlicks can (maybe the paid version can, I'm not sure).
|Oct 9, 2012, 04:33 AM
UPDATE (24/Feb/2013): see http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost...6&postcount=50 for an even easier way.
BTW, it's very easy to quickly test whether an MP4 (mov / m4v) file is optimized. Here's a full tutorial on it (I copy it here in its entirety as I don't want to promote my blog by just giving you a link to the original. Sorry for the length: when writing tutorials, I tend to be as clear as possible):
Apple TV users and Streaming Video Providers attention: deciding if a video file is optimized
In yesterday's article, along with a lot of benchmark data, I've explained the advantages of optimizing your iOS- and Apple TV-native (that is, MP4, MOV or M4V) video files, should you want to stream it or watch it from a, head seek-wise, inherently slow(ish) medium like an optical disc or a traditional hard disk.
In the current one, I explain how you can find out whether a video is indeed optimized or not. That way, you can save you a lot of time by avoiding re-optimizing it. If the tool you use allows it at all – for example, iFlicks or MP4Tools don't allow for separate optimizations, "only" during at the end of a full, (compared to a quick, manual checking) time-consuming remuxing. (Subler, of course, does it – see yesterday's article on using this feature.)
It's very-very easy to find out whether a particular video file is optimized. I show you two ways of doing it.
1. The easy way
First, an easier, faster but more error-prone way: a simple file viewer like Total Commander (which, should you use OS X, runs just fine under CrossOver and in no way need a full-fledged Windows environment like Parallels to run – this is why I present Mac-like file viewer screenshots below).
First, an optimized file (I've also made it available HERE) put the "MooV" atom at the beginning of the file; pay attention to my red rectangle annotation:
(This is also mentioned in the Subler FAQ)
A screenshot of the same file but before optimization follows. It shows no moov at all and, therefore, easy to differentiate from the optimized one:
This method works under all operating systems – under Windows (and, as you can see, even OS X!) with Total Commander (and with tons of other file viewer apps) etc.
2. The harder but safer way
First, get the latest "ISO Viewer XX executable jar" (where XX is currently 2.0-RC-15) from https://code.google.com/p/mp4parser/downloads/list. Under OS X, just click it; under Windows, you may need to install Java first. When it shows its interface, select File > Open and load your movie file. Now, in the let pane, switch from "Box Structure" to "Track & Samples".
You'll see some tracks there. With the elongated "Birds" video, there will be three of them, the first being the video and the other two the audio tracks.
First, let's take a look at the video track (just select it on the left) in both the unoptimized and the optimized case.
2.1 The unoptimized video
The unoptimized looks like this (the video is accessible HERE; note: large, 700+Mbyte download! You can check out other videos (for example, the ones I've linked to from my yesterday's article) as well before and after optimizing; their structure look similar but, of course, the file positions will differ):
What can you see in the right pane (assuming it's, as is by default, entirely scrolled up)? The first video sample starts at file position 45672 and is 1311747 bytes long. (This is what the first row means there.) The second starts at 1357419 etc. If you scroll entirely down to the bottom:
you'll see the last (3188th) video chunk starts at position 689,470,298 in the file – that is, some 15 Mbytes (the size of the last video chunk is only 27,442 bytes) before the end of the file (which is at position 704,180,885), meaning there's a lot of info after the last video chunk.
Now, let's take a look at the two audio tracks. Select Track 2 and, as with the video, check out the first record at the top:
The first starts at position 689,497,748 – that is, almost immeditately after the last video chunk, which ends at, as we've seen, position 689,470,298 + 27,442.
The last record at the bottom shows it starts at 700,646,548:
Finally, track 3 (that is, the second audio track) starts at 700,649,108 (immediately after the first audio track finishes):
… and ends at 704,099,532 (almost immediately – some 90kbytes - before the end of the file):
What's the verdict? Yes, albeit the three tracks are all stored as short(ish) chunks, they aren't interleaved: the first chunk of the second stream starts strictly after the last chunk of the first ends and so on. This is what causes a lot of additional buffering while streaming and, with optical / mechanical discs/disks, unnecessary head movement between the current video position and the end of the file to read the audio chunk(s) belonging to the current video chunk(s).
Now, what about the optimized video?
2.2 The optimized video
The video (which is an optimized version of the above one; it's not available online but you can easily create it by just using Subler to optimize) has three track, as before.
The video track samples start at 81,375 and end at 703,986,509 (with the size of 27,442, as in the non-optimized case):
The first audio track starts at 7,708,602 and ends at 704,128,621:
The second audio track starts at 7,718,842 and ends at 704,135,227:
See? The audio track chunks are interleaved with the video track chunks. The video and audio chunks belonging to each other are also very closely stored in the file.
This way, you can easily see whether a particular track is correctly interleaved. Just select the non-video tracks and check where they (more precisely, their first chunk) all start. Close to the start of the file (say, in the first 10 million bytes)? The file is, then, optimized. Around the end of the file? Then, it isn't.

Wow, lots of stuff there.
Excuse my ignorance with this question, but is it good, bad, or indifferent that iFlicks optimizes the video? Does it effect the quality at all?

It seems like must people around here like Subler, but I've been really happy with iFlicks. Here is my routine: MakeMKV --> HandBrake (ATV 3) --> iFlicks (iTunes Compability) --> iTunes
|Oct 11, 2012, 09:00 AM
Also, you indicate that you use iFlicks in iTunes Compatible mode after you have transcoded the mkv using HB. In this mode, are you transcoding twice?

In my experience. If the file is already formatted for iTunes (like from Handbrake) it should just add the metadata and then import to iTunes if you have that option set. Alternatively, you can disable the "Add to iTunes" button and choose "Current Location" as your destination and it will only write the metadata. Same can be done if you add the file yourself to iTunes and use the iFlicks service menu entry to update metadata. These methods seem to skip the Optimize stage.
As long as iTunes Compatible is selected, iFlicks will attempt to make it an m4v container, remux either an H.264 or MPEG4 Visual video track with an AAC stereo and AC-3 surround audio track. It can convert DTS to AC-3 in this process without the need for Perian or anything external. It can also add subtitles if they are in the proper format (soft subs) and then optimize the file for streaming.
|Oct 12, 2012, 08:05 PM
Thanks for the information, Blaquespell. That clears up just about any lingering questions I had.
|Oct 14, 2012, 02:45 PM
|Jan 16, 2013, 07:52 AM
Is it just me or iFlicks settings are very limited? You can't have any influence on the video quality settings except for the in app presets. You can't add / remove subtitles / tracks from the video.
|Jan 16, 2013, 08:24 AM
iFlicks is primarily a metadata app. Use Handbrake for video conversion and subtitles. It's free and does a great job.
|Jan 16, 2013, 08:42 AM
Looks like iFlicks is getting pretty much the same results for me as using HB with ATV3 presets. There is a lack of customization before processing the video in iFlicks, although you can edit the tracks earlier using Subler, Mp4tools or MKVtoolnix depending on the video type.
Anyway looks like iFlicks does the conversion job better than iVI.
|Jan 16, 2013, 11:27 AM
I've tried Subler and iFlicks and prefer iFlicks. Most of what I do is just convert files to iTunes compatible and add Metadata. I'll load an entire TV season at a time or even multiple seasons. It does a great job for what I want. I know it is more limited than Subler, but it also seems to be faster at getting all my files identified and cued up. iFlicks might be slower to process files, but I don't care about that. The time I am sitting there cueing everything up is what matters to me.

iFlicks handle meta data pretty well but what I don't understand is why it sort actors randomly, instead of showing key actors on top (like MetaZ for example).

in the apple tv home sharing movie section using iflicks
i can only see the tagline of movies in apple tv and not the description
is there a button on the apple tv remote to see the description and not the tagline? this is before pressing play on the movie
in iflicks i see that the desription and both tag line are there
but i wana read the description not the tagline on the apple tv
also in iflicks how do i choose mp4 instead of m4v ?
|Feb 12, 2013, 12:34 AM
|Feb 12, 2013, 02:36 AM
I'm muxing or whatever is called
mkv's to Apple TV format , since mkv is just a container I'm not converting them
But I want mp4 instead of m4v , is there an option for that on iflicks ?
Also some of my mkv movies have separate srt subtitle files , how do I add those to iflicks along with the mkv ?
|Feb 12, 2013, 04:23 AM
You may want to use Handbrake. You'll have to convert the files, but it can both save as mp4 and import SRT subtitles.
But if you're not actually converting from mkv to mp4, will it even play on the Apple TV? I tried doing "iTunes compatible" with an mkv file with iFlicks, and while it would allow me to play the movie in iTunes, I got an error when I tried to play it on my aTV. And if I set it to "Apple TV," then iFlicks converts the movie.
|Feb 12, 2013, 07:52 AM
Fair enough. I only tried with one movie and it didn't work without converting first, so it could have been an issue with that file. But that's really not important, just my own curiosity. For what you're asking about—subtitles and changing the file extension—that's not possible with iFlicks as far as I've seen.

Pettiway Leads All Scorers with 26 as Men's Basketball Cages Bobcats 105-89
February 2, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University put five players in double figures shooting 55% from the field in a 105-89 victory over Lees-McRae College in Conference Carolinas mens basketball on Wednesday night. Senior Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) led all scorers with 26 points as the Falcons improve to 8-10 overall, 6-4 in league play. The Bobcats, paced by Sam Youses (Winston-Salem, NC) 20, fall to 4-13, 1-9.
Lees-McRae took their only lead of the night just 34 seconds in on an Adam McFerran (Stow, OH) free throw, before the Falcons took over for the final 39:26. Past the halfway point of the first, Pfeiffer created separation from Lees-McRae with a 14-2 run thanks to triples from Pettiway, Elijah Matthews (Clinton, MD) and Kyler Gregory (Gibsonville, NC). After a Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, FL) layup with 5:15 remaining in the half, the Falcons saw themselves enjoying a 17 point lead up 39-22. Pfeiffer would carry a 15-point lead into the locker room after a Youse basket with seven ticks left.
A quick second half start by the Bobcats saw the lead get trimmed down to eight after a Dairl Scott (Pfafftown, NC) bucket at the 14:57 mark. Eight of the next nine points belonged to Pfeiffer from there as a pair of shots from Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) and jumper by Yuki Yamaguchi (Tokyo, JAPAN) put the hosts back up 16, 66-50.The Falcons maintained their double-digit lead for the remainder of the ballgame getting up as much as 22, 105-83, with 87 seconds left.
Behind Pettiways 26, Hollinger was the only other Falcon at the 20-point plateau with 20. Woods, who was whistled for quick fouls all night, finished with 17 while Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC) had 16. Matthews was the final Falcon in double digits with 11.
For the Bobcats, Youse was one of four visitors in double figures as McFerran crossed the 1,000-point mark for his career with 19. Daniel Sepokas (Illawong, AUSTRALIA) connected for 17 while Tevin Friday (Gastonia, NC) wrapped up with 11.
Lees-McRae shot 60% from the field in the loss. The Bobcats continually struggled from the charity stripe draining 12 of 28 attempts. The Falcons used the free throw line for a big advantage connecting on 22 of 26 attempts. Pfeiffer also cashed in on Lees-McRae turnovers with 25 points off of Bobcat miscues.
Pfeiffer returns to league action on Saturday heading to Gaffney, SC for a 7:30 p.m. matchup with Limestone.

INDIANAPOLIS — There are any number of "what-ifs" that can be asked by an NCAA tournament basketball team when the end finally comes.
What if a certain shot had gone in? What if a foul was or wasn't called? What if only there had been another couple of seconds left on the clock?
For Duke, the haunting "what-if" hovering over its locker room like a low-hanging cloud following Sunday's 85-63 loss to Louisville in the NCAA Midwest Region final was: What if Ryan Kelly hadn't gotten hurt?
The Blue Devils were 15-0 with wins against defending national champion Kentucky and NCAA tournament teams Minnesota, VCU, Louisville, Ohio State and Temple when their senior co-captain was sidelined with a mysterious foot injury on Jan. 8.
Although they were able to successfully reinvent themselves twice over the next two months to remain at or near the top of the national polls, including once after Kelly finally returned on March 2, coach Mike Krzyzewski's team was just never able to regain the same chemistry or consistency it had during that dominant season-opening stretch.
"I think we got close," center Mason Plumlee , one of three seniors whose career ended at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday, said when asked the inevitable question. "I don't know if we ever completely got it back, but what does that mean?
"It's tough, because you're remembered for what you do at the end of the season. An Elite Eight may be good at other places, but at Duke it's different."
As disappointing as the end result might have been, especially since it came at the hands of a future ACC rival at a venue in which the Blue Devils won their most recent national championship in 2010, Plumlee and his teammates will eventually be able to take satisfaction from all the obstacles they overcame just to get as far as they did.
The challenges began before preseason practice ever began, when senior guard Seth Curry began feeling the effects of a stress reaction in his right shin that would bother him throughout the season.
Despite rarely practicing and spending countless hours in the training room, the senior guard still managed to lead the team in scoring at nearly 18 points per game while earning second-team All-America honors from The Sporting News .
"He's been absolutely incredible," Krzyzewski said last month. "I've never had to do this in my whole career, where a kid really has been hurt the entire season."
At least Curry's injury turned out to be manageable.
The same couldn't be said for Kelly's right foot, which began hurting him in the first half of Duke's ACC home win against Clemson. The 6-foot-10 forward didn't return in the second half, and spent the next 13 games watching from the sidelines.
While he was there, the Blue Devils suffered a humiliating 27-point loss at Miami, forcing Krzyzewski to make changes on both ends of the floor to compensate for the difference in court spacing without Kelly in the lineup.
Duke went 9-4 in Kelly's absence, then jumped right back to the top of the list of legitimate national championship contenders after he returned with a 36-point outburst against Miami that Krzyzewski described as a performance "for the ages."
But even though Kelly had another strong game on Senior Night against Virginia Tech and the Blue Devils routed rival North Carolina in their regular season finale, it quickly became evident that something was amiss.
Duke lost to Maryland in its opening ACC tournament game, costing it a No. 1 NCAA seed and ultimately a realistic shot at the Final Four. Kelly struggled with both his shot and his confidence, missing 18 straight 3-pointers before finally breaking the streak Sunday.
Then finally, after playing top-seeded Louisville even for the opening 24 minutes, the Blue Devils (30-6) ran out of gas during a second half that saw them get outscored 50-31 by the quicker, more motivated Cardinals.
Even though it was anything but unexpected, the end was hard to take both for a senior class that won 124 games and a national championship during its time at Duke and freshman forward Rasheed Sulaimon .
"We have nothing to be ashamed of," said Sulaimon , who went 1-for-10 from the floor in Sunday's season-ending loss. "Just for our seniors, that's what is hurting the most. As much as they've done for me and this program, to not walk out as champions, it really hurts."
And yet, as his coach or any of his veteran teammates can attest, the sting was nowhere as bad as it was a year ago when the Blue Devils were bounced from the NCAA tournament in their opening game by 15th-seeded Lehigh.
It's a point Krzyzewski drove home in his postgame comments Sunday.
"I didn't like our season last year, not just the way it ended," he said. "I just didn't like it, even though we were 27-7. I loved this season. … I love my guys. They were terrific and won 30 games with an unbelievable schedule.
"We got beat by a better team and we beat a lot of really good teams. I just think they did a great job this year."
Without any "what-ifs" needed.

Is there an actual, active moderator for this forum? There are a lot of topics that have degenerated into nothing but flames, and I, for one, would like to see some thread locking going on, even if just to halt the nastiness. There are also some rather obvious trolls who would probably be banned anywhere else.
Is there even a code of conduct for this forum?

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Duane Whitelaw, a longtime staple of the North Tahoe Fire Protection District, worked his last day as fire chief on Friday.
"It's time to move on to the next stage in my life," said Whitelaw, who announced his retirement last week. "Working for public safety tends to be a young person's job."
With several of the projects he oversaw as chief coming to a close, Whitelaw said last week he is ready to move to the next opportunity in life.
He started his career as a volunteer firefighter in Susanville in 1976. In 1985, he moved to the Tahoe region and became a part-time employee and certified paramedic with the North Tahoe Fire Protection District, which at that time covered Crystal Bay to Carnelian Bay. In October of 1991, he became chief of the district.
In 1993, the North Tahoe and the Tahoe City fire districts consolidated and became today's much-larger North Tahoe Fire Protection District.
Whitelaw has received numerous awards from the local, state and federal level over the years for his work in Lake Tahoe. Last month, he accepted a joint award for Public Servant of the Year, along with the basin's other fire chiefs, at the North Lake Tahoe Chamber of Commerce/CVB/Resort Association 58th Annual Community Awards dinner at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.
Though he is not sure what he will do next, Whitelaw said he looks forward to spending more time with his wife, children and grandchildren.
A celebration of Whitelaw's career will be held at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new North Tahoe Fire Station on Fairway Drive at a to-be-determined time on Friday, April 20.
Assistant Chief Peter Poe will be acting fire chief while the district works through the recruitment process.
