There are a lot of positives and negatives to be taken from this game. The only thing I want to point out is game management. Monty needs to become better at that quickly. Otherwise, good game.
My impressions of the game:
Lopez- As Expected
He was ok. Hands were iffy at best. Shot a little too much for my liking. Thought he was solid.
Davis- Impressed
Blistering start. Good midrange jumper, wasn't as effective defensively and on the boards as I expected, but then again the Daiw matchup kept him pretty far away from the basket.
Aminu- VERY Impressed
Aminu was an amazing finisher in this game. Hard to talk bad about his game, but he still looks lost when he's on on the fast break. His dribble shoot moves look bad still, but if he plays like this i'm very excited. A corner 3 is pretty much all he needs and i'd be happy.
Rivers- Impressed (Second Half)
Wow, he looked lost in the first half, but after he took that hard foul from Leonard, he woke up and played very well. His shot was off but it was his passing off the pick and roll that impressed me.
Vasquez- Impressed
Ok i'm going to start with the bad. He can't guard NBA level point guards. Tony Parker ate him for breakfast lunc and dinner. He had great controll of the offense, got us needed baskets, didn't turn it over too much, and was a great set-up guy.
The Bench- What I expected
Miller seemed like it was his first game. Anderson couldn't hit a 3, some seemed forced, but he has a better midrange game than i epxectedd and was a hustle guy. Jason Smith, I was very impresed with. I expect a game like Smith had this from Anderson, Miller, or Smith every game. Smith looked like he should have been the starter over Lopez.
Just my thoughts viewing it live. Hope everyone enjoyed.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
There are a lot of positives and negatives to be taken from this game. The only thing I want to point out is game management. Monty needs to become better at that quickly. Otherwise, good game.
I think the beginning of the third where Kawi Leonard went off was kind of what i feared from this team. Some really bad spurs without scoring.
Davis was standing on the bench when our 2nd squad was coming back and eventually taking the lead on the Spurs. Also impressed at Davis' FT shooting ability.
Biggest stat of the night:
Davis: 9/9 FT
Little bit of a stretch to say "impressed" with Austin.
He was 1/10 and more TOs than assists. He did start to play better in spurts, made a nice pass or two and got to the line, which is great.
Needs to learn control, develop a midrange game and a runner, Etc. he'll get it though.
Yeah, i said in the second half but i get what you're saying... He played much better and passed very well. The second half gave me a glimmer of hope he could play point which i didn't think before this game. He got to the line despite bad shooting.
I wasn't a fan of drafting Rivers and it's true that his stats look awful...but I was kind of impressed with him. More than his passing or his outside shooting (still awful), I just found myself relaxing when he had the ball in his hand. I think as he develops he'll be very disruptive and effective in breaking down defenses with the ball in his hand. Yes, he looks raw but he can already get into the lane more or less at will.
Until Rivers learn to finish after contact, he's going to have ugly statlines.
I think Monty lost this game for us. Left Davis on the bench way to long from the middle of the 3rd till the middle of the 4th. Sat him for an entire quarter with no foul trouble. Overall, didn't like some of the rotations. I felt we did not respond to some of Pop's substitutions and left our guys in bad situations.
Also, he was slow to make adjustments and kept fronting Duncan at the end of the game. Finally brought in Lopez to guard with his back to the basket but it was too late.
Rivers - I was pleased. I could care less about his stat line. The guy is a 20 year old rookie. He should be a sophomore in college for petes sake. He managed the offense well in the 2nd half, showed that although he does not have elite quickness, he is herky-jerky enough to rock guys off balance and get by them, showed good toughness and made his free throws. Pretty dang good first NBA game, oh yeah all of the above while playing his first game in a new position.
Davis - Very impressed. They could not stop the pick and roll. 9 for 9 is nice. But those were CLUTCH free throws. WOW!
Aminu - holy smokes, who was that guy, Great defense, amazing energy, best athlete on the floor. He showed a couple of his clumsy old ways, but if he plays like that all season we are going to be in the playoffs for sure.
Vasquez - i have been pretty rough on him, but he did a great job of running the offense. He is a major liability on defense however, we need Gordon badly, we need to be able to cross defend the guards.
Lopez - loved his energy and tenacity - would have liked to see him with more minutes.
Mason - why did he play almost 30 minutes? Take away the 2 3's he made and he had zero impact. I don't want to see him on the floor at all.
Overall, I'm pretty darned pleased. We showed we are a young team, but we also showed that nobody is going to be looking forward to playing us. If we keep getting better, the sky is the limit.
I'm not impressed with Rivers ball-handling. He looks down alot when he dribbles which limits his vision on the floor. Add to that he doesn't do much else well, its gonna be a long rookie year for him.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Rivers need to get on them weights and play with more confidence
Sorry for double post. Shoulda gone here:
-Great energy at the Hive tonight
-we appeared to collapse the lane pretty quickly until Duncan had his way at the end there
-Aminu: finally
-we played above the rim like I haven't seen since Chandler left
-didn't appear to actually run a play in half court in the 4th quarter until the last 5 minutes
-Rivers first real action at PG in second half (other than summer league). Gonna be tough for him to start at the 2 AND backup the point soooooo yeah. Maybe because Roberts doesn't match up size wise with those guards? IMHO Roberts runs point at the end and we win. It's the only time we actually needed to run a play and it was hopeless with Vasquez in the clutch.
-Davis was held out for a really long time cuz Duncan was out I guess. And I suppose this could be a strategy going forward since the Spurs were knocking him around. Probably pulling a Calipari and holding him out from time to time when the game is close.
Novice opinion please no whammies

I thought Davis should've played at least 32-33 minutes. If Duncan can play 35 minutes surely Ant can. I know the season is young and they say it's not a sprint it's a marathon but I think he stayed out too long.
I don't think anyone had more assists tonight than our very own Greivis Vasquez. Go Gravy! Would've been great to get the win.
ETA: Hold the phone, the Clippers are still playing.
Rivers actually looks like a kid out there, he has very little muscle mass and with his size, he'll need it to finish... Even people like Lillard and Westbrook are strong enough to play physical and finish at the rim
Both are older than Rivers as well. Not really comparing the two but I remember how small Paul was when he came into the league. He realized very quickly that he had to get not only a bit bigger but also stronger to be able to finish with contact.
good game looking forward to more energy & good competitve basketball.....teams will have to scout us and prepared for us instead just show up and beat us like last season
Davis isn't playing hard on defense.
looking for team to bandwagon, pls help
I looked at this game from one standpoint and one standpoint only. Potential. I was impressed at what I was seeing from the team as a whole. I mean these guys were playing like a team. I like that! They were unselfish, working to find the best shot on offense. They got better defensively as the game went on. This game proved to me that if Gordon was out there, this would have been a win. I am a little concerned about the liability of Vasquez on defense. However, having Gordon could help him. I was impressed with Lopez. I thought he had some nice post moves. I mean he isnt going to be 20 and 10 guy. I dont know if you need him to do that. But a 10 and 10 guy, yes. He had 8pts and 9 boards. I liked how Smith played. Great energy. Fearlessness. And I am not too worried about Anderson. I think he will be fine. Shooters have off nights. But he got good looks. As far as Rivers. I think he will come around. He definitely isnt a starter at this point. I think he just needs to calm down. Its seems when he has the ball in his hands he is trying to do too much. Playing at much slower pace and excellerating and playing faster when the defense allows will make him a better player. I do think that once he realizes that he needs to put two hands on the ball when driving to the lane for a layup or floater he will convert more often than not. Overall, I think the future is bright.
What time is the Eric Gordon press conference?
We'll see if he's feeling well enough to make it out there to the podium today, don't want to push him.
I was questioning a couple of Monty's rotations. A.D. sat too long, what happened to J Smith towards the end when we needed a spark, where was Miller towards the end.
Overall I thought we looked great (better then expected honestly).
Couple different decisions here and there and that was a W. We'll get it together.
Reeeeaallllyyy could have used a closer last night. You know like a guy you'd give a max contract to.

|Not on Ballot
| This measure did not
appear on a ballot.
This measure has been withdrawn from consideration, following a challenge from the American Civil Liberties Union. Supporters acknowledged that the verification rate for the signatures they turned in would have to be unrealistically high in orsder to make the ballot.
This measure was proposed as an citizen-initiated constitutional amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution.
The proposed ballot wording was:
The state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting.
The measures is being sponsored by Oklahoma Civil Rights Initiative. It is also being supported as part of a national effort by the American Civil Rights Initiative, a group founded and chaired by Ward Connerly. Connerly rose to prominence when he spearheaded a similar effort in California in 1996, Proposition 209.
Similar measures are being sponsored by the American Civil Rights Initiative in several other states for the 2008 ballot, including Colorado, Missouri, Arizona and Nebraska. The combined effort is known as Super Tuesday for Equal Rights.
In early October, an organized petition blocking campaign to prevent circulators from successfully collecting signatures was initiated.[1] The "Decline to Sign Coalition" is led by Oklahoma City representative Mike Shelton. Shelton has also proposed legislation in the Oklahoma legislature that would make it illegal to pay circulators on a per-signature basis.[2]
Proponents of the ballot measure argue that the "Decline to Sign" movement is similar to the ultimately unsuccessful efforts in Michigan in 2006 to prevent the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative from reaching the ballot.[3]
Petition blocking and harassment campaign
On November 14, an incident of an individual working the prevent the collection of signatures on the Oklahoma Civil Rights initiative was captured and posted on YouTube.[4]
Lawsuit challenges petition validity
Ten Oklahoma voters, including State Reps. Mike Shelton of Oklahoma City and Jabbar Shumate of Tulsa, filed a lawsuit in early March 2008 with the state Supreme Court challenging the validity the petition.
They argue the petition is an attempt to trick voters into ending equal opportunity programs. Chuck Norton, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Oklahoma, charges that the signature-gathering process was riddled with errors.[5]
On December 10, 2007, the Oklahoma effort became the first of the Super Tuesday for Equal Rights efforts to turn in signatures.[6][7]
Validity of the signatures was challenged by the American Cicil Liberties Union,[5] and on April 4, 2008, lawyers for the Oklahoma Civil Rights Initiative filed a motion with the Oklahoma Supreme Court to withdraw the measure from consideration.[8]
The motion to withdraw said that the validity rate of signatures would have to be unrealistically high in order to qualify for the ballot. The backers "do not want to waste this Court's efforts nor taxpayer money on pursuing State Question 737 when (the backers) are reasonably certain that it will fail to garner the requisite number of signatures."[8]

GasBuddy Blog
Just before we reported that retail gasoline in the U.S. reached an all-time high this year; (the national average is $3.63 for 2012) USA TODAY came out with an editorial (Nov. 23) discussing all the problems the nation's energy boom could bring. The paper acknowledged we're in the midst of our most productive era, energy-wise; growing reserves from Texas to the Dakotas; a wealth of natural gas from the shale reserves of Pennsylvania down to W. Virginia; but they seemed upset about it. The Dept. of Energy tells us "reserves of U.S. oil and natural gas in 2010 rose by the highest amounts ever recorded since EIA began publishing proved reserves estimates in 1977. For both oil and natural gas, these increases in proved...

GREENSBURG, Pa. – One hundred and eight first-year medical students from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine at Seton Hill received their white coats during a ceremony on Saturday, February 12, 2011, at the Seton Hill University Performing Arts Center. The ceremony is an important rite of passage for medical students. They have completed their first semester of medical school and are moving from pre-clinical education to more clinical, hands-on training.
|Garrett Clark, D.O., M.S., gave the keynote speech at the LECOM at Seton Hill White Coat Ceremony. Looking on in the background is Irv Freeman, Ph.D., J.D., Vice President for LECOM at Seton Hill.
White coat ceremonies have been around for less than twenty years, but have now become a tradition at medical schools. Physicians have been wearing white coats for more than one hundred years. The white coat is a symbol of integrity and professionalism.
Garrett Clark, D.O., M.S., LECOM Class of 2006, was the featured speaker at the white coat ceremony. He was a music teacher and accomplished guitarist before going to medical school. Dr. Clark told the students that by being in medical school, they have shown they have the desire to care for and serve their fellow human beings. "Caring for humanity's ailments," Dr. Clark exclaimed. "To me, there is no higher calling, no greater undertaking. And for that, I congratulate all of you."
|LECOM at Seton Hill medical students recite the Osteopathic Pledge of Commitment during the White Coat Ceremony held on February 12, 2011.
Dr. Clark told the students they have proven their commitment to health and osteopathic medicine, but that much work lies ahead. "As you continue to learn and to serve, always remember that internal drive that beckoned you to this career in the first place – your propensity to care," he said.
In reciting the Osteopathic Pledge of Commitment, members of the Class of 2014 promised to uphold the high standards of the osteopathic medical profession and administer compassionate, quality care to their patients. It was certainly a day of extreme pride for the accomplishments they have achieved up to this point. The students are looking forward to what lies ahead.
"The white coat ceremony symbolizes our hard work and will keep us going," said student Eliot Gibbs of the milestone event. "It really feels like I'm on my way to becoming a doctor," he said.
First-year student Jen McEachron said she looks forward to moving from pre-clinical study to hands-on, practical education. "It was nice to get recognized for the hard work we've put in so far," McEachron commented. "I look forward to everything that's coming next."
|LECOM at Seton Hill held its White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2014 at the Seton Hill University Performing Arts Center. Joining the festivities were (L-R): Garrett Clark, D.O., M.S., LECOM Class of 2006, Irv Freeman, Ph.D., J.D., Vice President for LECOM at Seton Hill, Alice J. Zal, D.O., POMA President, and John W. Becher, D.O., AOA Board of Trustees.
Kinsey Bernhard was elated that her parents could make the trip down from Racine, Wis., and see her receive her first white coat. "This represents the next step in our academic career," Bernhard said. "So far it's been challenging. A lot of studying and reading but it's been rewarding. I'm looking forward to dealing with patients and doing more clinical things."
Alice J. Zal, D.O., 99th President of the Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association (POMA), also spoke at the white coat ceremony. POMA donated the white coats. POMA previously donated stethoscopes to the first-year students, which were presented to them last November. Dr. Zal said POMA will be a valuable resource to them throughout their osteopathic medical careers
Others in attendance included John W. Becher, D.O., from the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Board of Trustees, Irv Freeman, Ph.D., J.D., Vice President for LECOM at Seton Hill, and LECOM at Seton Hill faculty members Phillip Miller, D.O., Raymond Seifert, D.O., Virginia Syperda, D.O., Ed.D., and Donald Linville, Ph.D.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicine and pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.

The jsp code on your web page that loads the links to our site includes a unique Source ID code (assigned at the time you register your site). Each time a visitor clicks on the link, the unique Source ID code is sent as part of the link so that the visitor is identified as coming from your site.
To be able to identify and track visitors and properly assign commissions to referring sites, we append a unique code for each visitor to each page and each link within the page seen by the visitor. This code follows the user throughout the site. At the time a visitor completes a purchase, the code is examined and the dollar amount of the sale, together with the Source ID of the referring site, is stored in our database so that your commission can be computed.
Using Pepperjam's tracking, Levi.com will also give you credit for cookied sales within 14 days of an initial click from your website to Levi.com. Cookied sales are sales that have come from customers that have visited Levi.com directly within 14 days of visiting Levi.com after linking from your website.
However, there are situations when you won't get credit. For example, if someone follows a link from your site to Levi.com, and browses but doesn't buy anything, and later follows a link from another Levi.com affiliate web site, the code for the second referring site will replace yours.
We provide 24 hour access to detailed reports that allow you to track sales and traffic activity. There are numerous online reports on PepperjamNetwork.com that are updated daily. These reports tell you how many users saw and clicked-through to links to Levi.com from your site, how many orders were placed, which products were purchased, how much your site has earned in commission, and much more. These reports will help you maximize your revenue.
Commission rates are based on the net sales (as defined in the Affiliate Agreement) you generate per month. You can earn 4-7% on all products, except Gift Cards. If a customer comes to Levi.com directly from your site or directly to Levi.com within 14 days of visiting your site and then buys any merchandise on Levi.com, you get credit. It does not matter what type of merchandise you sell or link to from your web site. Below is the scale that will be used to compute your monthly earnings:
All products, except gift cards
14 days
You will be paid approximately 45 days after the end of each calendar month. If a product that generated a referral fee is returned by the customer, then we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next monthly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we reserve the right send you a bill for the fee at the end of the following month.

The Synapse 25 is a carefully calculated, supremely organized backpack, designed for day hiking, everyday carry, and ultralight travel. Its graceful, curvilinear exterior may on first blush look like something akin to sculpture, but in truth it is simply the judicious realization of ultimate utility. No mesh pockets clutter the exterior of this bag, nor extraneous straps festoon it; in it, you'll be able to carry more than you would imagine, and no one will be the wiser.
The Synapse 25 is designed to fit people from approximately 5'6" to 6'6" / 1.68 to 1.98 m; it is the new big brother to the original Synapse 19 (for those under 5'6" / 1.68 m or who want a smaller bag — check it out). With 30% more volume, we hope to satisfy those who love their smaller Synapse but who need to schlep more stuff or are on the tall or big end of the spectrum.
The front of the Synapse 25 is divided into five zippered pockets, all of which zip shut with #8 YKK Aquaguard® water-repellent zippers:
Though you'd never guess by looking at it, the top center front pocket is deep enough for a 1-liter water bottle (our Lifefactory Water Bottles fit — so should any type of 1-liter or smaller water bottle) or 1-liter hydration bladder (a 2-liter hydration bladder will also fit as long as it's not overfilled). Everyone who has carried a water bottle in a backpack knows how important it is to pack the water bottle wisely so it a) doesn't dig into your back and b) doesn't throw off the weight of the pack. With the water bottle kept in dead center of the Synapse 25, you won't have to worry about either. Removing the water bottle from the Synapse 25 (and replacing it) is a breeze. Note that the water bottle pocket doesn't needlessly continue to the bottom of the bag; that'd be wasted space, plus you'd have to reach farther in to pull your water bottle out. Instead, we took that volume and allocated it to the bottom pocket (where it can serve good instead of evil — see below). Also worth noting: the water bottle pocket has one
Below the opening for the bottle pocket is another small zippered pocket, also with one O-ring: it's just deep enough for keys, a wallet, glove liners, or a small camera.
The side pockets are generously sized for sunglasses (in a case or alone), a first aid kit, or even a light Windbreaker-type jacket or down vest compressed in a stuff sack (like our Travel Stuff Sack). The right side pocket has an Ultrasuede®-lined inner pocket for your phone; the left pocket has one pen/pencil slot and two wider slots for multitools/knives or just more pens. Both side zippered pockets feature one
The bottom front pocket of the Synapse 25 is a great spot for extra clothing or snacks and will easily accommodate a thin wool/fleece sweater, light down jacket and/or Windbreaker-type jacket. If you care to add organization, it's more than big enough for a 3D Organizer Cube (Mesh, Dyneema, or Clear) or Side Effect; three O-rings are inside this pocket. (Packing advice: tether one of the above-mentioned organizational cubes or Organizer Pouches to the O-rings via a Key Strap.) And because we care about your safety, we've added a 1.5" / 38 mm webbing loop on the exterior bottom of this pocket that's ready to accept the Guardian Light — highly recommended if you ride a bicycle or walk in the dark.
The Synapse 25 has one main, back compartment for large, flat items like notebooks or laptops — it closes with a #10 YKK Aquaguard® water-repellent zipper. It has two O-rings for you to attach Organizer Pouches or tether other items. Also inside the main compartment are four unobtrusive webbing loops, two fore and two aft, to which you can secure the optional Cache (available in sizes specifically for every Apple laptop and iPad; PC users, click here for our Laptop Bag Fit Guide). When you add the Cache, the Synapse 25 becomes a "checkpoint-friendly" laptop backpack. Here's how it works: on the back (or bottom, depending how you look at it) of the Cache are two parallel "rails" of 1" wide lightweight nylon webbing which extend from the top to the bottom. Included (and already attached for your convenience) with the Cache are two Gatekeeper Rail Clips: unclip the side that isn't clipped to the Cache, slip it through the webbing loops in the Synapse 25 main compartment, and flip it shut. Slip the Cache inside the Synapse 25, and pull it back out: you'll see that the Gatekeeper Rail Clips ride the rails of the Cache, allowing you to remove your laptop from the Synapse 25 entirely while it is still encased in the protective Cache. Doing this at the airport security checkpoint means the X-ray machines (and TSA personnel) will have a clear, unobstructed view of your laptop — allowing you to keep your laptop in the Cache and the whole affair securely held together as one unit. (We think that's much better than having to remove your laptop and dump it in one of those buckets.) Many of us will appreciate this functionality on a daily basis as well: the rail system can be a convenient and quick way to remove one's laptop from the bag. And remember, there are four loops of webbing in the top of the main compartment of the Synapse 25: one pair is on the back side, and one pair is on the front side. That means you can choose to have your laptop against your back or against the front of the bag, whichever seems most comfortable or most convenient. Using all four loops, you could even carry two laptops (or one laptop and one iPad) in the Synapse 25. Note that the "checkpoint-friendly" functionality will only work for one of two laptops — you'll need to remove the second laptop at the airport security checkpoint; TSA does not technically consider an iPad or similar tablet a "laptop," but you never know if they'll ask you to remove device #2 anyway.
Also inside the main compartment is an elastic-topped, open-top pocket. Generously sized to fit a few books, an extra pair of shoes, or a Tri-Star Medium Packing Cube (for an extra set of clothes — perfect if you're using the Synapse as your personal carry-on item). The open-top pocket will also fit some sizes of Cache, including the 11" Air, iPad, and iPad mini sizes. (If you plan to carry a water bottle in the water bottle pocket and also an iPad or other device in the open-top main compartment pocket, make sure the device is protected with a Cache or a similar protective sleeve: the water bottle pocket is directly in front of the open-top pocket and your device is best protected from your hard water bottle.)
The remainder of the main compartment opens wide — ready to accept whatever larger items you're packing.
For the interior lining of the Synapse 25 we chose 200d Dyneema®/nylon because it's ultra-lightweight and ultratough. We've used this fabric for several years now with virtually no complaints or failures; it's been abrasion tested by both our fabric suppliers and our in-house lab. Conclusion? 200d Dyneema®/nylon is perhaps a bit of overkill for a lining fabric, and you expect nothing less from us.
The back panel of the Synapse 25 is padded with 1/4", high quality, closed-cell foam with an exterior of Dri-Lex® Aero-Spacer® mesh and 400 denier nylon. This combination of mesh and smooth nylon is designed to provide maximum breathability while still being gentle on your clothing. The contoured backpack straps of the Synapse were custom designed by Tom to fit folks from 5'6" to 6'6" / 1.68 to 1.98 m (again, if you're 5'6" / 1.68 m or under, we recommend the Synapse 19). We tested the Synapse backpack straps on a wide range of people — all heights, shapes, and sizes — and we think we've come up with straps that work for just about anyone: no small feat! The shoulder straps are padded with .375" / 10 mm EV50 closed-cell foam and feature an underside of ETC knit to keep you cool and comfortable. The Synapse 25 features adjustable and removable sternum and waist straps with leave-no-trace hardware: if you don't like or don't use your waist or sternum strap, remove them and leave (almost) nothing behind (a design inspired by nature). At the top of the back of the pack, you'll find a webbing loop: use it to hoist the Synapse 25 up and onto your back or to hang it on a coat hook.
Enough said. Now get one and get out of here.

ZBC regular Julian_K receives the nod for another top row. His thread features a time-lapse video of hair sculpting (page 1), a quick guide to pore sculpting (page 2) and a plethora of amazing (and interesting) sculpts. The image that boosted this thread into the top row depicts a boy with progeria, a condition that causes rapid aging. The final render is photorealistic and a composite, but he includes a few images that were made with ZBrush's BPR feature. Julian also provides the settings he used to achieve his lighting effects (page 10).

Mallinger, Merrick are chasing leaders Bae, Jacobson in Northern Trust Open
LOS ANGELES It's not unlike when you're a kid putting a pickup game of basketball together. You just get on the phone and within a half-hour, the golf gang of John Mallinger, John Merrick, Peter Tomasulo and Patrick Cantlay can get a pretty competitive match going at Virginia Country Club.
The four live only minutes apart from each other near the Long Beach waterfront, and though it might not be one of those ritzy country club enclaves in Florida that are popular among PGA Tour players, the camaraderie is likely second to none.
The Virginia Four practice together, dine together, even sometimes share houses together on the road. The needling can be merciless, but it's matched by the feeling of having each other's backs in a selfish, cutthroat sport.
When a couple of them excel at the same time, as Mallinger and Merrick did in shooting 66s in the second round of the Northern Trust Open on Friday, there is particular cause of celebration.
Merrick, the former UCLA star, moved into a tie for third at 8-under, two strokes behind co-leaders Sang-Moon Bae and Fredrik Jacobson, each of whom scored 65. Mallinger fired a spectacular 30 on the back nine at Riviera Country Club, making birdies on the last four holes. The Escondido High alum was placed at 6-under, tied for ninth.
None of the Virginia Four has yet to win on the PGA Tour, so this could be a big weekend for them.
"We all have a friendly rivalry," Merrick said. "It's great. We practice together, talk trash. We have a great relationship and it's fun to see the guys play well. That boosts you when you play because you know you can play with them. We kind of push each other, and that's cool."
The money games at Virginia are serious, and Merrick said there is one guy who seems to enjoy it more than the rest.
"Mallinger," he said. "He's always a gamer."
Mallinger countered that he thinks Merrick might be a little too nice.
"I'm usually the one talking more (trash)," he said.
Merrick, 30, Tomasulo, 31, and Cantlay, 20, grew up in Long Beach and became students of instructor Jamie Mulligan, who works out of Virginia. Mallinger, 33, became part of the Mulligan group when he played at Long Beach State.
Being from Southern California, Mallinger has taken every opportunity to play Riviera. He gets on several times a year with some members. His best finish in the Northern Trust is a tie for 41st, yet he says it's one of his three most favorite tournaments.
"I love being here," Mallinger said. "The golf course is unbelievable. There's so much character to it. … I feel like it suits my game because you don't have to shoot 30-under out here."
Mallinger's previous best round at Riviera was a 68 in 2009, and he was headed for a similar number until he caught fire over the last four holes. He birdied 15 from 8 feet, 16 from 22 feet and 17 from 2 feet after laying up short on the par-5.

Last metaprogramming feature we'll cover today: runtime mixins. @Mixin allowed you to mixin new behavior to classes you owned and were designing. But you could not mixin anything to types you didn't own. Runtime mixins propose to fill that gap by letting you add a mixin on any type at runtime. If we think again about our example of vehicles with some mixed-in capabilities, if we didn't own James Bond's vehicle and give it some diving ability, we could use this mechanism:
One or more mixins can be passed as argument to the static mixin() method added by Groovy on Class.

Tomorrow morning we'll publish the answer in the comment section of this post.
Tomorrow morning we'll publish the answer in the comment section of this post.
The nets decrease transmission by 90%. Pretty good odds !
Decreases by 90%
Malaria transmission is decreased by a whopping 90% by using these mosquito nets!!
My guess would be 97%!!! A 4.0!!! A 5.0 if we are on the weighted scale!!! I think it is obvious that having a treated mosquito net is like wearing a bicycle helmet. It is much more difficult for me to get a head injury if I am wearing my helmet. Likewise spiritually as well.
No idea… but 90% sounds good! Wow…I can't believe it's that much! Let's get more nets out there.
+ or – 7% right??? hopefully + 😉
As much as 90%!
No wonder the malaria fund works to get treated nets to all of the at risk Compassion children and their families.
Do you know that if you buy one of the malaria t-shirts, $10 goes to the malaria fund! That is enough for one of the treated nets!!
And the answer is …
Using bed nets treated with insecticide can reduce malaria transmission as much as 90 percent.
Bed nets are treated with insecticides that are not harmful to humans but are highly toxic to insects.
Compassion provides bed nets to children and their families through the Malaria Intervention Fund.
(Source: nothingbutnets.net/nets-save-lives/, November 2008)
Finally I was somewhat close on one of the answers!!!

First off, I have to give kudos to the group Sustainable Delaware for its endeavors in our community. This group has grown from a handful of citizens interested in looking into "greening" our city to a full-fledged group of active community members who care about making Delaware more sustainable and providing all of us opportunities to learn and grow "green wise." They do this by promoting environmental, social and economic sustainability through special events, both educational and social, and by creating awareness through various programs and the local media.
An event coming up which is sponsored by them and coordinated by Global Village Collections sounds really fun and educational all in one. (By the way, kudos to Global Village as well for their amazing programming efforts and for their upcoming move to the space next door to Beehive Books.) On Friday, Oct. 14, at dusk behind the Beehive Books in downtown Delaware, movie hour will commence with ice cream available for purchase from Whit's Frozen Yogurt. The movie, "Forks Over Knives," examines the claim that most, if not all, degenerative diseases can be controlled, or even reversed, by omitting animal-based and processed foods. Now this I have to see because I agree with this philosophy in theory. Okay, and I want some Whit's frozen yogurt!
Admission to this event is free and will move indoors if it rains. Please bring a lawn chair and dress for the weather (it's Ohio — one never knows what to expect). The group also has a clever suggestion that you bring a dryer sheet to keep the bugs away.
This event is part of Second Friday Film Festival which is sponsored by a partnership of Global Village Collection, Main Street Delaware, Beehive Books and Sustainable Delaware.
If this kind of programming interests you or you would like to know more about this active group that meets monthly, please take a minute to go online to sustainabledelawareohio.org and check out the website. The resource listing alone is a valuable tool for anyone in our community, especially if you are new to the area. You can also sign up to be on their listserv to get more information.
Tuesday Trippier lives in Delaware, is a writer and mother of four who struggles to figure out how to live lightly on this planet.

The Grainger Hill Performing Arts Center is bringing a special series to the community sure to entice young and old. The Second Sunday Series includes four Sunday afternoon concerts, with all proceeds, after expenses, benefitting Grainger Hill.
The inaugural performance, "Love is in the Air," is a collection of love songs to be performed by Shanda Maddox and Antuan Hawkins, accompanied by Timothy Maddox. Light refreshments will be served.
Director of activities at Bayview Nursing Rehab in New Bern, Shanda Maddox has been performing since age 5. The winner of the National School Choral Award, she has performed at the Opry Land Hotel and in stage performances at the Rivertowne Theater in New Bern, including: "Annie Get Your Gun," "Radio Gals," "Nunsense," "The Wizard of Oz" and "Blithe Spirit." She also has performed for six years in Lenoir Community College's "Broadway and Beyond."
She and her husband, Jim Maddox, live in New Bern and have five children and three grandchildren.
Hawkins is an actor and singer living in Kinston. He received a Bachelor of Science in music with an emphasis on vocal performance from Chowan College. After graduation, he taught middle school and private music classes, but soon began balancing performances around professional career.
He has serenaded acclaimed opera singer Luciano Pavarotti and shared the stage with such celebrity entertainers as Jeff Foxworthy at the Duke University Children's Miracle Network Benefit Concert, featuring country singer Jo Dee Messina and jazz recording artist Branford Marsalis. He also created the role for "Bailey" in the world premier of Samm-Art Williams' "Conversations on a Dirt Road."
Hawkins has performed in New York City in several off-Broadway productions; co-starred in several independent movie projects; and co-starred in the world premier of "F.I.S.H.," the musical. More locally, he has performed in "Ain't Misbehavin'" and produced "The Golden Oldies Radio Show."
Kinston native Timothy Maddox received his master's degree in music education from Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., and is a music instructor at Lenoir Community College. He has worked as a music minister and private piano teacher.
Maddox recently musically directed "Dreamgirls," "Wizard of Oz," "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Cabaret" and "Legally Blonde." He has accompanied numerous shows, including "Broadway after Dark," "Guys and Dolls," "26th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" and "Sleeping Beauty."
Upcoming shows include: March 10, "Jazz OnStage," featuring ECU's Student Jazz Trio; April 14, "Big Band Sounds," featuring Earl Abernethy and Company (Carol Ann Tucker, vocalist; Jimmy Aycock, pianist, and Dave Adduddel, bass); and May 12, "Variety of Eagles, Country and Bluegrass Selections," featuring The Ray and Bobby Band.

IRB Player of the Year Dan Carter has not been nominated for New Zealand's Player of the Year award.
The All Blacks flyhalf was recently crowned the world's best ahead of other nominees Richie McCaw, Freddie Michalak and Owen Farrell. However, the New Zealand Rugby Union clearly disagrees with that decision as it has nominated McCaw, No 8 Kieran Read and centre Conrad Smith for its award.
Israel Dagg, Liam Messam and Aaron Smith are contenders for the Maori Player of the Year award, while Steve Hansen (All Blacks), Dave Rennie (Chiefs) and Gordon Tietjens (NZ Sevens) are up for Coach of the Year.

text: I was one of the people who was super depressed when we barely missed out on drummond. Having said that this thread is ridiculous because its preseason. I believed drummond and lilliard would be better than rivers (hence he fell to us and they didn't). Rivers has plenty flaws, but he does do plenty things well. If we are patient with him he should grow into a good player. Now good day.

Customer Raves & Reviews
quick and easy
very easy to complete online. Arrived in a sturdy box. Only complain is that it arrived a day later from expected delivery date.
great invitations
Our invitations turned out great and the website was very easy to use to customize them.
Love it!
My fiance and I had been looking for some time and had resigned ourselves to expensive invitations due to the color we had chosen for our wedding, peacock. I received a mailing for this product and I found this design (we have a wine theme). Then as my fiance was testing the customization options, he found our color. We were able to customize so much of the invitation and we really loved that. The quality is very good. Would definitely recommend this product.
Love this website!
If your the kind of person like me that likes to put your personal touch on everything you do, you will love this. The design was perfect for what I wanted and I was over joyed to have soooo many designs to choose from. Getting to customize the colors were great. I've gotten so many complements on my invitation and its uniqueness I would never choose another site again. I've even ordered my Christmas Card on here.
Perfect & Affordable Invitation for Our Wedding
I absolutely love the way this invitation came out - it was simplistic and perfect for our fall wedding. We changed the colors of the vines and leaves and added a lot more text than the online template allowed. Customer service worked with us to get everything perfect and we couldnt be happier with our invitations. With all of the enclosure cards (which were also perfect) we paid regular postage (one stamp), which we were so pleased about. The whole set was lovely and we couldnt be happier with the way they turned out! The invitations were well worth the price, which were so cheap comparitavely speaking to other invitations. These were simplistic, affordable and beautiful!

Sometimes, a name says it all.
"As an organization, we've been extremely fortunate to help the men and women who've given up so much for our country," said Laura Castellvi, the senior manager of community relations for the Semper Fi Fund. "We're just so excited about what the future will bring and the fact that we will do whatever we can for the service members who need us most."
May 18 marked a decade that the Semper Fi Fund has remained always faithful to wounded, ill and injured Marines and sailors across the country.
The organization's team of several hundred volunteers across the United States provides services to military families, service members and veterans.
The fund aids treatments for conditions that include post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, among other conditions.
For a decade in North Carolina alone, more than 17,000 grants worth more than $22 million have been issued to active duty service members and veterans.
Nationally, more than 59,000 grants exceeding $78 million have been distributed to at least 10,000 service members.
"Hitting 10 years is absolutely a celebration," said Castellvi, 49, of Camp Lejeune. "It has been a true privilege to be with an organization that has accomplished so much in just 10 years. We're not going to stop at 10 though. We have so many service members out there that still need us."
Many of the men and women granted aid from the Semper Fi Fund will need assistance during and after their service, Castellvi said.
Serving those who serve
"It's a wonderful feeling being able to assist them, whether it be an iPad for a TBI patient, a special mattress for an amputee, or anything in between," said active duty case manager Beth Cooling, 47, of Camp Lejeune. "The overall good feeling you get doing the right thing for people is amazing."
Grants are distributed within 24 to 72 hours after a request for assistance is processed.
Sometimes, the service member or veteran doesn't even know someone requested something on their behalf, said Cooling
"I will never forget my first case," Cooling said. "It was an amputee who was in need of a new mattress.
"He kept telling me he was good and didn't need our help," Cooling said. "It just amazes me that they're all so proud and humble. They want to be self sufficient and not need our help. ...But to see us improve their quality of life – it's just the most perfect feeling in the world."
He attributes the Semper Fi Fund's success rate to its partnership between the Marine Corps and the Navy.
"The absolute best part about helping a Marine or sailor still on active duty is that they are yours until they're discharged from the military," Cooling said. "They don't get bounced around from person to person. ...It allows for great friendships to be made – friendships that will always mean the world to me."
Volunteering for veterans
"The best part of the job for me is helping our heroes," said veteran case manager Lisa Killeen, who has been with Semper Fi Fund since its inception in 2004. "I will never forget my first case. It touched my heart and changed me forever."
Killeen remembers writing and hand-delivering checks to the wounded and ill when the organization first was established, she said.
"Seeing veterans go through a hardship is the hardest part for me," said Killeen, 43, of Emerald Isle. "But when they call you or you see them later on and they thank you for making a difference in their lives, it's just the best feeling ever."
Despite immense growth since 2004, the mission of the Semper Fi Fund has broadened while essentially remaining the same, Killeen said.
Of every donated dollar, Killeen said 94 cents pays for assistance to service members, veterans and their families.
"America's generous supporters have seen the value in what we do," Killeen said. "That is important because it enables us to continue caring for those who have sacrificed so much."
But it's about more than the money.
Semper Fi Fund events
The Semper Fi Fund established a variety of events designed for those on active duty, along with veterans and civilians, including: the Marine Corps Marathon, for which the fund is the largest charity partner; the Community Athlete Program, which gets racers in events nationwide involved; the Veteran 2 Veteran summits; and America's Fund, an initiative launched in 2012 that extends assistance to members or veterans of the Army, Air Force and Coast Guard suffering severe injuries.
The Yellow Ribbon Warriors Charity Golf Tournament will be held at 9 a.m. Sept. 13 at the Paradise Point Golf Course, Camp Lejeune. Entry is $70. For more information, email Danica Hammer at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For those interested in supporting organization, send tax-deductible donations to Semper Fi Fund, 825 College Blvd. Suite 102, PMB 609, Oceanside, Calif. 92057; donate via Combined Federal Campaign by using No. 11459 or donate online at www.semperfifund.org.

Israel Folau scored two minutes from time to finish off the Stormers in Sydney.
The hosts won 21-15.
The Waratahs, who led 8-3 at half-time, trailed 15-11 going into the final few minutes but Folau rewarded a positive approach with a converted try and replacement flyhalf Berrick Barnes completed the scoring with a 50 metre penalty on full time.
Folau's brilliance in the air set up the only try of the first half and it was the former Rugby League sensation and Aussie Rules convert's finishing that sealed the Stormers fate.
The Stormers, as has been the norm in the last few years, were brave, courageous and determined on defence, but never looked comfortable with ball in hand and not once threatened the Tahs tryline.
The Tahs, one of the best attacking teams in the competition, never stopped believing they had the attack to break down the visitors defence and the experienced Barnes created the Folau match winner with a delayed short pass that exposed Bryan Habana's defensive alignment.
Habana is the intercept king but on occasion he concedes tries through rushing out of line and he backed himself for the intercept but Barnes's decision-making beat Habana's rush and Folau did the rest.
Barnes had a huge impact in the last quarter and this coincided with the loss, through injury, of the imposing and physical No 8 Duane Vermeulen.
The Stormers, celebrated for their defensive structure, have never looked like title contenders because of their inability to be equally impressive on attack.
Waratahs – Tries: Cam Crawford, Israel Folau. Conversion: Berrick Barnes. Penalties: Brendan McKibbin (2), Barnes.
Stormers – Penalties: Joe Pietersen (5).

Tony Amorose
|Tony Amorose
|Candidate for
|Michigan House of Representatives District 13
|Eastern Michigan University (1979)
|The information about this individual is current as of when his or her last campaign ended. See anything that needs updating? Send a correction to our editors
Amorose currently teaches eighth grade U.S. History for Dearborn Public Schools. He attended Eastern Michigan University, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education with a major in U.S. History.
Amorose was a primary candidate for the Republican Party in 2010 for Michigan's 15th Congressional District.[1]
Campaign Themes
In a personal submission to Ballotpedia, Amorose highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
- "I strongly believe in the concepts contained in our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Hence, I am an advocate for limited government, republican in form and federalist in structure. I believe in strict constructionism, as government exists to secure our natural, unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe governments should exercise fiscal restraint on behalf of its taxpayers, including businesses, protect property rights of all residents and limit the intrusions into the lives of residents, all within the framework of our state constitution and the U.S. Constitution."
- "As a lifelong Michigan resident of 55 years, I hearken back to a day when the Motor City dominated the auto industry, and the auto industry dominated the economy. Today, much of our economy in our state, and in our nation is tremendously different. Government can and should be the tool to create an environment conducive to the growth of business, which will then result in greater employment for its residents."
Amorose ran in the 2012 election for Michigan House of Representatives District 13. He ran unopposed in the August 7 Republican primary and was defeated by incumbent Andrew James kandrevas (D) in the general election which took place on November 6, 2012. [2]

SNOW HILL — Greene Central will be well represented in 2013-14 college athletics.
The school had four sign national letters of intent recently, and held a special ceremony for the quartet in its media center on Tuesday.
Baseball players Ben Brann and Chad Murphy have signed with Barton College and Mount Olive College, respectively, track and field star Alexis Robinson will sprint for Western Carolina University and softball standout Jordan Sutton has opted to take her talents to Pitt Community College.
Brann keeps Barton tradition
Alex Brann graduated from Barton College on Sunday, four years after playing baseball for Greene Central.
This fall, Brann's younger brother will follow in his footsteps.
Ben Brann, the Rams' ace left-hander, will pitch for the Bulldogs, keeping the Barton tradition alive.
The fact that his older brother had spent four seasons behind the plate with the Bulldogs made it an easy decision.
"I thought it seemed just like a good place to be," Brann said, "and I got a good offer to go."
As a senior this year Brann went 8-1 with a 1.27 ERA in nine starts and helped lead the Rams to a share of the Eastern Plains 2A Conference championship and to the state playoffs.
Brann threw seven complete games and five shutouts, and struck out 59 compared to only 28 walks.
"I just hope to be successful," said Brann, who is undecided on his major, "and if I'm lucky maybe go on to the next level."
Murphy fulfills dream
Along with Brann, Chad Murphy's older brother attended Mount Olive College but not as an athlete.
The standout Greene Central shortstop gets to do both.
Murphy, who wants to pursue a degree in agricultural business, will be an infielder for one of the country's premier NCAA Division II programs next year.
"Ever since I was a little boy I always wanted to play (baseball) and really I always wanted to play at Mount Olive, too," Murphy said. "Everything worked out for me."
Murphy was the Rams' big stick this year at the plate. He led the team in average (.324), plate appearances (85), hits (24), RBIs (19), extra-base hits (nine), home runs (four), on-base percentage (.405) and slugging (.554).
He said he will most likely move from shortstop to second base with the Trojans.
"I just hope to keep my batting average up high like I did at Greene Central and make no errors," Murphy said.
Robinson makes unexpected choice
Alexis Robinson loves the beach, but ironically enough she's headed to the mountains.
The lightning-quick sprinter's decision to run for Western Carolina next year came as a surprise — especially considering she prefers flat land.
"I'm not a mountain person. I love the beach," Robinson said. "But when I checked into Western Carolina I went up there it just amazed me — the peacefulness and everything, no distractions. I felt like I was home."
It's been a big week for Robinson. Not only did she sign her NLI to run for the Catamounts, but she also qualified for the NCHSAA state 2A track and field championships after finishing third in the 400-meter dash at Saturday's 2A Eastern Regionals at Wilson Beddingfield High School.
Now that her college decision is behind her, Robinson, who plans on majoring in nursing, is focused on winning a state championship at N.C. A&T University on Friday.
"I just hope that my dream-come-true week ends in an actual dream come true," Robinson said. "I hope that I'm able to bring that state championship back."
Sutton gets total package
Jordan Sutton really wants to be a dental assistant, and Pitt Community College can help get her started down that path.
The senior catcher will play softball for the Bulldogs next spring while focusing on acquiring a degree to help her earn her dream job. But her true love is softball, which is why she chose PCC.
"I love softball. That's my one true love," she said.
Sutton played solid defense behind the plate for the Rams this season. She led the team in fielding percentage at .977 and committed only one error all year.
Sutton, who really wanted to attend Mount Olive, said she got a late start on the process of playing college softball, and after meeting with PCC coaches she chose to wear a Bulldogs uniform over going to Wayne C.C. after being accepted into its dental assisting program.
"I want to get my two years in playing (at Pitt) then hopefully go to Mount Olive or ECU and play," she said.
