Prep baseball: Cascade 10, Snohomish 4 (8)
The game was back-and-forth from the beginning.
KJ Brady -- who pitched all eight and eventually got the win -- gave up three runs in the second to fall behind early.
Cascade inched their way back into it, scoring one in each subsequent inning until the score was tied 3-3. Which is where it stood when the Panthers pushed the Bruins to the brink of elimination.
Snohomish came to the plate in the bottom of the seventh and loaded the bases with just one out. The list of ways a Panther could reach home was about as long as it gets. Fortunately for Cascade and Brady, a pop out to first wasn't on it. Neither, it turns out, was the chopper to third that allowed the Bruins to get the final out at first.
Preserving the 3-3 tie allowed Cascade's hitters another chance, and through a combination of clutch hits, errors and a lot of walks, they rallied for seven runs to put the game out of Snohomish's reach.
Catcher Michael Mazza opened the inning with a base hit, which was followed by an intentional walk and a bunt by Ryan Lucas for another base hit. Snohomish then walked in what would be the winning two runs. Another single and a sac fly helped Cascade pad its lead.
Mazza finished 4-for-4 with a solo home run to lead the Bruins.
Snohomish got one back in the bottom of the eigth but couldn't muster any more.
"It was exciting. ... It was a close game the whole way. We just happened to have a big inning at the right time. The game was a lot closer than the score indicated," said Cascade head coach Scott Stencil.
That is born out by the hit totals. Six Snohomish batters had two hits, and the team totaled 13, one less than Cascade.
The Panthers made an early exit from the tournament after losing just two league games this season.
Cascade hosts Kamiak today at 4 p.m. and must win that game plus two more to earn a state tournament berth.

(Unoffical singles rated rounds - I am asking Chuck Kennedy why they are 15 more points lower then expected)
A 50 at CV seems higher than 1011 if you ask me
I think with these rated leagues a few factors can skew the ratings that aren't as apparent in tournaments. I think the first is everyone is a local and people tend to shoot better on courses they have multiple rounds on. Also in the evening not as many people are still hungover and it's a lot easier to shoot well when your not about to puke before everythrow.

Stokeley Carmichael was born in 1941 in Trinidad. Carmichael's family moved the America when he was 9 years old and he attended school in New York. Stokeley Carmichael joined Howard University in 1960 and joined SNCC - an organisation that used non-violence as its principle tactic and had been formed at the outset of the restaurant sit-ins that started in Greensboro in 1960. When civil rights history in the 1960's is studied, Stokeley Carmichael's name is up with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
In 1961, Carmichael became one of the Freedom Riders. Trained in non-violence, he was arrested in Mississippi and sentenced to 49 days in jail. He became chairman of SNCC in 1966.
He continued James Merediths March Against Fear when Meredith himself was shot by a sniper. It was during this march in June 1966, that Carmichael was arrested for the 27th time in his civil rights career for erecting a tent in the grounds of a local African American school in Jackson, the final destination of the marchers. It is probable that Carmichael had been pushed too far and it was during this march, that Carmichael made it clear that he did not support the use of non-violence and on this topic he clashed with Roy Wilkins, head of the NAACP. Carmichael also did not want white people on the march but on this issue he had to give way to the influence of Martin Luther King who did. Carmichael got out of jail on bail.
On his release, Carmichael made his famous "Black Power" speech in which he called on "black people in this country to unite, to recognise their heritage, and to build a sense of community." He also urged all African Americans to reject the values, as they stood then, of American society. Figures vary as to the size of his audience. Some put it at 600 while John Dittmer put the figure as high as 3000. Carmichaels new public stance could not have been clearer when he said "Every courthouse in Mississippi ought to be burned tomorrow to get rid of the dirt." Included in his speech were references to his support for Marxist ideas - a clear move away from the beliefs of Martin Luther King.
In 1967, Carmichael and Charles Hamilton wrote a book called "Black Power". Civil Rights movements such as the NAACP and SCLC rejected Carmichaels ideas and accused him of black racism.
Carmichael encouraged those who followed him to adopt an African style of dress with Afro hairstyles. He told his followers that they should reject white ideas of appearance and style. He used the phrase "Black is Beautiful".
From this position, Carmichael went on to criticise the stance of King and the idea of non-violence. Carmichael was made an "honorary prime minister" of the Black Panthers.
Carmichael protested about Americas involvement in Vietnam. This so angered the authorities that his passport was confiscated and held for ten months. Many front line troops in Vietnam were African American conscripts and their casualty rates were higher than for white soldiers. Senior political figures were concerned that Carmichael, along with the protest of Muhammad Ali, might provoke a more widespread rejection of conscription amongst young African Americans.
When his passport was returned, Carmichael went to live in Guinea, Africa. Here he adopted the name Kwame Ture and he worked as a political aide to the countrys prime minister Sekou Toure.
Carmichael died of cancer in November 1998.

Is our universe the only universe?
Is there more than one universe? In this visually rich, action-packed talk, Brian Greene shows how the unanswered questions of physics (starting with a big one: What caused the Big Bang?) have led to the theory that our own universe is just one of many in the "multiverse."

Robert E. Lee was an international celebrity during and after the war. And, like famous athletes in our own time, Lee's "card" became a collectible. Small carte-de-visite photographs were mass produced especially in New York and sold as souvenirs. Most of the cartes-de-visite were based on photographs taken from life in the studios of Mathew Brady in the 1850s, of Minnis & Cowell in Richmond in 1862, John W. Davies in Richmond in 1864, Julian Vannerson in Richmond in 1864, and Mathew Brady in 1865. These same "source" images were also the basis for woodcuts in illustrated newspapers, engravings in books, and a wide variety of memorial prints published after Lee's death.
Browse through the gallery of photographs and prints selected from The Museum of the Confederacy's collection of more than 200 items. Most of them are versions of the major source images slight variations in pose or photographers' retouching or tinting of the originals.
Robert E. Lee Letters and Documents
The Robert E. Lee related letters and documents in the Brockenbrough Archive of The Museum of the Confederacy spans 32 years, from 1838-1870. A materials voucher, dating from 1838 and signed by Captain Robert E. Lee is the earliest piece, while the last item is a social note from April 1870, where Lee declines an offer to visit far away friends.

Dialing up retribution for robo sinners
It's a Catholic thing, but I think that, even though times have changed, I still prefer the "confessional" method with the priest on one side of the screen and you on the other.
That's because, if you'd done something completely off the charts, the worst case would be that the priest would shout -- loudly enough for other nearby sinners to hear -- "You did what?" after which your exit from the confessional was both penance enough and a reminder never to do it again.
I digress.
Still, this one's likely to come across as insensitive, unkind, and hard-hearted to boot. In fact, to ensure that it does, I'm even going to mention the chain saw my wife made me sell because of "health issues."
What I'm talking about are "robo-calls" and my accompanying dream for a large, industrial size car shredder. Failing that, I'd settle for a chain saw and a heavy-duty trash compactor.
I dream of these because of the fantasies of what I could do with them were I ever to find the people who thought up robo-calls and their evil cohorts -- the individuals who recorded and, then, turned them loose on us.
I know that this election's over, but something needs to be done to strike fear into these peoples' hearts before we crank up the next cycle, and, perhaps, having such individuals hear that a few of their compatriots were fed into these machines might just convince them that they need to come up with another -- less obnoxious -- idea.
As you might guess, I'm not a big fan of these calls. Actually, the words I'd use to describe my feelings on this matter can't be used here and will never be found in any book on the etiquette of proper conversation.
That's because I've never come across a polite and socially acceptable explanation of the proper words to be used in describing the manner in which to start such individuals on their journey to their eternal and just rewards.
As a minor aside, said rewards would include a visit to hell as merely a pleasant stopover.
I've tried the "hang-up quickly" method, but it never gets across the aggravation one feels at having gotten up from a good meal to hear the beginnings of a message asking me whether I knew that candidate such-and-so puts mayonnaise on his hot dogs, beans in his chili, and thinks Elvis is dead.
Caller I.D. also helps, but, again, provides no deterrent to the next robo-call from said candidate assuring me that he knows not of mayonnaise on hot dogs, has never seen a bean in his chili, and stating that Elvis is alive and living on an island in the Florida Keys.
What truly bothers me, though, is the thinking that it's perfectly acceptable to come unannounced into my home at an inconvenient time to present me with a canned message of half-truths, innuendos, requests for donations, or what have you, and to do it via a recorded speech.
No personal contact. No apologies for the inconvenience. No thought of what someone might be doing. Just off we go into a pre-tested message, delivered with feigned sincerity, that does nothing other than raise your blood pressure because of the imposition.
Yep. Find them all and stuff them into either the shredder or the compactor. Once done, pack the whole mess into the back of a pickup and dump it into some swamp where the alligators haven't been fed in a while. At least then, this crowd could lay claim to having served a useful purpose.
I know. I know. You're thinking that I haven't considered the legal ramifications of such actions, but you'd be wrong. That's because, in my dream, I'd find a court where the "they sure had it coming, your honor" defense was still held in high regard and used on a regular basis.
My guess is that the worst that could happen -- especially during an election season -- is that I'd get off with a commendation for public service and, possibly, a key to the city.
Insensitive and hard-hearted for sure.
But it's only a dream that I enjoy and I warned you.
Now, "Bless me Father, for I have sinned..."

"People are a lot more knowledgeable about APIs now. There are two types of people who work with APIs - IT people who want to use APIs for something internal and the product managers who want to do something outside APIs for people to connect to them," explained Roberto Medrano, Executive Vice President at SOA Software, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at Cloud Expo, held Nov 4–6, 2014, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover. Businesses will also need to ensure that they can sustain that insight by leveraging the cloud for global reach, scale and elasticity.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We certainly live in interesting technological times. And no more interesting than the current competing IoT standards for connectivity. Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact.

The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate. The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads. Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Container frameworks, such as Docker, provide a variety of benefits, including density of deployment across infrastructure, convenience for application developers to push updates with low operational hand-holding, and a fairly well-defined deployment workflow that can be orchestrated.

I like the court, and i suppose i don't dislike the jerseys.. but theres nothing to like either. I'd be disappointed if they were my team's though
What's the thought on these? Some people think they're awesome, me? They look like whoever designed them got lazy and didn't really feel like finishing them, so they just made them as plain as they could. It seriously looks like zero effort was put in. And the court? Yuck.

I like the court, and i suppose i don't dislike the jerseys.. but theres nothing to like either. I'd be disappointed if they were my team's though
Kinda looks like San Antonio uniforms except they say Brooklyn instead of Spurs. Simple, plain, generic.
I liked the concept jerseys with the white top and black bottom. These are designed to be timeless, so I guess that worked. It just has no personality.
Definitely vanilla, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
The Raptors, Grizzlies and Bobcats all had horrible uniforms when they entered the league, too gimmicky.
Keeping it simple sets a subtle psychological undertone.. substance over 'style'. Colours are simple, there's a stark contrast with the gaudy Knicks ensemble- I think they've done a decent job.
"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 auto-gyro?"
you could make their logos in mspaint
This is what happens when you create uniforms on NBA 2K and make them IRL.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
I'm a minimalist at heart... but cmon guys that's TOO plain for an NBA team. They look like an intramural squad.
Plain as hell
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
RIP HunnyB
This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
Really boring, a lot of build up for nothing.
Regarding these uniforms, I like the idea, very blue collar. They almost look like a downtown high school team. As for the stadium, I like the logo on the court, just not the court itself (the wood finish, too dull).
I agree with Mr Mojo, I don't mind it, but I'd be dissapointed if they were my teams.
imo the nets new uniforms are lame
absolutely love 'em.
old school brooklyn - the black ones will be sweet too. these are gonna be among the most popular in the NBA, guaranteed.
I think they could get away with uniforms this plain if they had colors other than black and white. A minimal blue/red uniform would be okay. I'm certainly not excited about these. Maybe they resinate with their home fans. I sure hope so.
I love them. I hate all the flash in today's sport jerseys
I think plain was what they were going for. Plain is the new fancy.
I love the IDEA, but the execution is very poor. That font they used goes beyond simplistic and heads into Times New Roman territory.
Fresh & Clean ! Love them !
"I go so hard, I go so mean... I'm so NEW ORLEANS" - Lil' Wayne"We not stopping at no stores man ! We staying on the gas !" - Tyreke Evans
very bland but did anyone else notice that joe johnson is turning into gary coleman?
Someone on the NBA subreddit posted this a couple of days ago, apparently it was a concept, and it's kinda strange, but I'd almost prefer this to the real ones:
Those have a euro type feel to them. I like them more

Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this
I have a brand new 350 convertible. The vehicle has problems with all of the electronics but especially the windows. The had to give me a new vehicle three months after I bought the first one in August of 2012 and I got the new vehicle in December of 2012 and am till having the same problems. It has been in service 5 times for the windows and still is not fixed. I have had two Porsches an Audi and numerous Toyotas without these issues. Very frustrated.

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by sheenaL83 from Great sinks, very unique! I first saw this sink in a Kohler special order catalog at my local home improvement store and thought it would be a cool improvement to my bathroom. The store wouldn't be able to get me one for over a month, so I looked on here and found the same sink for about $15 cheaper than what I was expecting to pay there. I ordered 3 of them to replace all of my bathroom sinks, and they arrived in perfect condition. The sink has a very cool design...the sink edges stand up a bit from the countertop, giving it a vessel sink appearance and the basin is pretty shallow. It's perfect for my update to make my house look modern and chic!

Howdy NOLA!
First off, congrats on what sounds like great news coming out of the whole ownership fiasco. New Orleans is one of the best places on the planet, and yall losing a team wouldve been a travesty. Ok so I come in peace that established?
Obviously, from my link, you can see what Im all about. Im a Charlotte native, and the Hornets tipped off when I was 7. Which pretty much made Kurt Rambis and Kelly Tripuka superheroes in my book. A whole heck of a lot of this city still feels this way, and wed do just about anything to get our name/colors back.
Ive been reading in various places that yall are about as eager to shed yourselves of the stench of Shinn as we are to eliminate the residual B** Johnson filth that permeates every nook and cranny of our franchise. So I figured why not come straight to the source? I've provided the link for the Facebook page Ive set up supporting Charlotte reclaiming our original, regionally-significant and beloved name, and New Orleans rebranding under the banner of one of yalls myriad unique cultural traditions. I friggin LOVE the Krewe thing it actually seems like something that would attract people to yalls brand on a national level
we pretty much just have the Hornets
The Facebook page has exploded over the past week, as has the petition I've set up (links below). Our ranks include several enthusiastic New Orleans fans/residents. We'd really love to see the rest of y'all join our ranks!
We kind of hit the 'big time' this week, too...Tom Sorensen of the Charlotte Observer interviewed me for yesterday's paper. He's behind us in theory, but has reservations about how much of a difference the rebranding would make in the long run. I've included the link to his story, as well, and as you can see in the comments below his article, the Charlotte fanbase is overwhelmingly against his opinion.
This isnt some kind of goodwill gesture Im asking for no charity here. I feel like itd be mutually beneficial for both cities. As far as I can tell, the whole Hornet thing means about as much to yall as the Knickerbockers would to us. So why not work something out in which both cities can rebrand (or in our case, re-rebrand) and connect with a couple of fanbases who, lets face it dont currently have much else to cheer about.
New ownership, fresh start think about it.
Thanks for your time, and again congratulations on the good news!!!

I've noticed that my typing speed has not changed much in the last 30 years (I type less than I used to, but intermittently type a lot). However, my error rate has definitely gone up in the last 10 years. There are two possible culprits, as far as I can see: (i) in my 50s, and age is creeping up on me; (ii) too many changes in keyboard, especially on laptops. I tend to blame the latter, of course, as I change my work laptop every couple of years, use a variety of other keyboards at work (desktop and laptop) with a few different language layouts, and use three different keyboards on the home PCs. It used to be much simpler.
Age or Keyboard? (Score:5, Interesting)by Nishi-no-wan (146508) on Thursday February 21, 2013 @09:32AM (#42965887) Homepage Journal
I've found that I do have more errors that I used to as I type. And my speed is not nearly what it used to be. However, I easily out-type news reporter friends of mine while chatting (both on computers - not mobile). They write a couple of articles a day. Shouldn't they have more key presses than a coder?
I'm blaming the newer keyboards for a lot of the increased errors that I feel that I'm hitting. Keyboards from the 1980s just felt a lot better. You had to have intent to hit a key. That doesn't seem to be the case any more.
It should have been "Do you feel more or less susceptible to the Dunning-Kreuger Effect than the general populace?"
but this put a little lipstick on the question.

I used to be a (mostly newspaper) typesetter, back when dedicated 'cold type' typesetting machines were required, namely, pre-PC. The keyboards on those machines were amazingly good, albeit usually all grey and twice as wide as a simple qwerty board, so if you got off the home keys you would hear horrible clunking sounds as their positioning mechanics attempted to execute gibberish commands. I was able to cruise along at 120 words per minute on those, with vanishingly few errors despite having only a 16-character horizontally scrolling LED bar to show me what I was keying. The laborious process of pasting in corrections definitely encouraged accuracy.
Racing deadlines and with typical news stories which rarely contain complex words, I could manage sustained bursts of nearly 140 wpm with very few errors.
Today, at 59, I have been seduced by the ease with which errors are corrected on PCs, as well as the wonders of GUI environments, and my raw typing speed not only has fallen to 80-85 wpm, I also make a lot more errors requiring the backspace key. You have to practice just as you do with music to maintain very high typing speeds, and today's environments simply do not require or reward such effort for most people.
The best typesetter I knew was an accomplished classical pianist. He could typeset 140 wpm for hours at a time, while carrying on casual conversations with passersby and editors, with almost no errors whatsoever, including while setting *classified ads* with all their cryptic abbreviations. The proofreaders -- yes, young whippersnappers, there used to be actual people who proofread copy before it was published! -- loathed and despised him, because few things are as boring as proofreading and never finding any errors.
Note that while such speeds may be impressive without context, there is a vast difference between the cognitive dissociation from content almost required of a typesetter or transcriber, contrasted with the very different mind-to-motor-skill requirements of *composing* while typing.
As for keyboards themselves, few PC keyboards in my experience rise above the level of execrable. The IBM Model M was an exception, while more recently and of a completely different type, the Logitech K800's (backlit!) keyswitches have finally made notebook-style keyboards a joy to use. The overwhelmingly vast majority of PC keyboards available today, however, still suck donkey butt with a vengeance.

I got promoted for doing that.
We had a completely *mental* process where we would get an XLS file and had to manually translate the tables of register names and bit positions into C structs.
Budgeted time: 2 person weeks.
I spent the two weeks writing a perl script that did everything I needed (ok, 2 hours, then the rest of the time making it do 'cool' stuff to the source code, and compiler, and source control, and....)
Total runtime of the script? 2.5 minutes.
Did this for a couple projects, turned in the changes same day I would get the XLS files. Boss thought I was doing something akin to faking it. Showed him the script, got a promotion 1 month later.
He asked me how I thought of doing it that way, told him I was lazy, this was easier...

INDIANOLA, Miss. (AP) - B.B.
