A Tree which stands in a Lake District wood is the tallest in Cumbria and could be the largest in the North West.
The 57.8-metre giant grand fir in Skelghyll Wood, Ambleside, has also been recorded as the tallest of its species in England, breaking the previous Cumbrian record of 55 metres, which was held by a conifer at Thirlmere.
National Trust ranger John Pring got the idea to get the tree measured and recorded by the National Tree Register charity when driving through Ambleside.
He said: "I've driven on that main road (A591) in Ambleside for a long time and I just thought: 'That really is a very big tree, I wonder how big it is? We were surprised just how tall it was when we measured it. There are some very big trees in the area but we didn't realise how tall it actually was. This is just one of the thousands of big old trees the National Trust looks after in the area."
Mr Pring, who has covered Windermere and Ambleside for 20 years, is now encouraging nature lovers to go to Skelghyll Wood and see the true scale of how tall the trees are for themselves and the grand fir, which was planted in 1860, looks set to continue growing and could push the 60-metre mark unless there are any accidents such as a storm blowing it over.
The tree was measured by tree climbers Mark Sigrift and Mick Lupton of Aspen Tree Management in Witherslack by dropping a long tape measure and using a badminton pole to attach a tape measure. "It just shows that the tree is happy with the climate there," said Mr Pring. It's only 160 years old so it is still growing."
THOUSANDS of punters flocked to Cartmel Races for the course's biggest meeting of the year, spread over three days.
The traditional Bank Holiday Monday event attracted a crowd of 16,000 to watch the seven races.
Jonathan Garratt, Cartmel Racecourse managing director, said the bookies did not fare too badly.
"I think it has been mixed; they have had some favourites going in but I'm sure they have had ups and downs."
Punters successfully backed legendary racer Tony McCoy, who appeared on Monday.
Yesterday, too, proved a rare highlight for racegoers as three Cheltenham Festival horses went on parade for Veterans Day.
Chief Dan George, who is trained just a mile from Cartmel by Jimmy Moffatt, was joined by Mister McGoldrick and Hussard Collonges.
"We have had a lot of people who are on half-term holiday but it's also the day when racing enthusiasts from all over the country come and have their day at Cartmel because the course is slightly less overcrowded," said Mr Garratt.
Meanwhile, a racing steward became the first person to join an exclusive Cartmel 'club'.
Officiating at Saturday's races signalled a landmark for Colin Vickers — it meant he had visited every racecourse in Britain.
Cartmel Racecourse chairman Lord Cavendish presented Mr Vickers with a souvenir badge, which coincided with the launch of an I've Saved The Best Until Last club.
Anyone completing a visit to all Britain's racecourses with a trip to Cartmel will now receive one of the specially-commissioned badges.
Mr Garratt said: "When I came here I was amazed how many people said they had been to every other racecourse before they tasted the unique delights of Cartmel.
"I realised that they were saving the best until last."

Murphy girls fall behind early, can't catch Burlington-Edison
Wildcats lose to Tigers 55-37 in 2A district semifinal game
Turns out Burlington-Edison had a few more tricks up its sleeve.
The Tigers turned its all ready physical play up a notch and hit a pair of big 3-pointers in the first quarter to jump out to a double-digit lead it would rarely relinquish over the next three quarters en route to a 55-37 win in a 2A District 1/2 Tournament semifinal game at Burlington-Edison H.S. on Tuesday night.
"They play a different brand of basketball," said Archbishop Murphy head coach Mark Bircher. "They're an extremely physical team and that first half we weren't ready for that type of physical play. ... We dug ourselves a hole in the first quarter.
Archbishop Murphy plays Lake Washington on Thursday at Mount Vernon H.S. at 6 p.m. in a loser-out consolation semifinal game. If Murphy wins it will play the winner of the Lynden-Sehome game on Saturday for a spot in regionals.
The Wildcats lost to B-E by 20 points in the season opener on the same court the two teams played on Tuesday night. Bircher said his team wasn't prepared for the Tigers' press defense and physical style of play going into that game in late Novemeber but felt they were Tuesday night.
But the Tigers were in mid-playoff form and the pressure was on early. Burlington-Edison held the Wildcats to just two field goals and got two big 3-pointers from senior Sydney Brown to outscore Murphy 16-6 in the game's first six minutes.
"It was similar to the Post Falls game where we dug ourselves a hole in the first quarter and then fought, fought, fought but just couldn't make up ground," said Bircher, comparing the game to Murphy's 53-38 loss to the Idaho team on Dec. 29.
Over the game's next 23 minutes of play Archbishop Murphy kept pace with the Tigers, trading baskets and playing good defense. With 3:19 left in the game, Murphy took a timeout trailing B-E 46-36 and with possession. The Wildcat had the momentum as well, coming off a 5-0 run fueled by five straight turnovers by B-E.
But Tigers star wing Mariah Swanson was having none of it. Swanson stole the ball, hit a layin on the ensuing possession with the shot clock at two seconds and also came up with another steal on Murphy's next possession to all but seal the game.
"Mariah Swanson is awfully good and she's a matchup nightmare," Bircher said of the Tigers wing who finished with a game-high 20 points. "But you know you work so hard to get to 10 and then she had a couple of daggers in there."
Murphy star post Beth Carlson finished with eight points, well below her season average, eight rebounds and three steals. Carlson found herself in a back-and-forth battle with Tigers post Ellary Torset the entire game and was knocked to the floor at least 10 times throughout the game.
"We tried to get Beth outside a little bit more because (Torset) is so strong inside and tough to post," Bircher said. "Beth always fights to the bitter end. She's all over the place and she doesn't back down to any thing. She was a target."
Gemma Miller led Murphy with 11 points and also had a pair of steals and 3-pointers that kept the Wildcats on pace with the Tigers. Wildcats freshman Madison Pollock had 10 points and four steals.
One bright spot for Murphy in the win was its success against the Tigers' full-court press, which they kept on for the lions' share of the game. Archbishop Murphy broke the press all but a few times and didn't let it affect it getting into its offensive sets like it did in the season opener.
"We knew it was coming and we were a little more prepared than last time," Bircher said. "Last time it was a little deer-in-the-headlights but this time we were ready for it."
The Wildcats now must prepare for Lake Washington, which lost to Sehome in the first round and beat Bellingham in overtime Tuesday night. The two teams only common opponent is Cedarcrest, which beat the Kangaroos 66-60 back on Dec. 4.
"This could be the three seniors last game and we're going to come out swinging and fighting for our three seniors," Bircher said of Carlson, MaireMichael Carroll and Anna Maher. "We'll be ready."

Would a loan by any other name cause as much apprehension?
State Senate Bill 89 calls it "deferred presentment," but most people refer to the practice as payday lending. It's been illegal in North Carolina since legislators allowed the payday lending law to expire on Aug. 31, 2001, and the last companies in the state closed shop as of March 1, 2006.
But with significant turnover in the General Assembly and a new governor, payday lending companies have intensified their push to come back. On Feb. 13, Sen. Jerry Tillman, R-Randolph, submitted a bill to do just that, and it's drawn the support of influential Rules Committee chairman Sen. Tom Apodaca, R-Henderson.
Tillman has been quoted saying the bill is about creating jobs. Supporters also claim payday lending is necessary to help disadvantaged people manage expenses in a way in which they would not, otherwise.
"I do anticipate that if it were legalized again we would see payday lenders moving back into the state, so there would be some job creation there," said Jon Sanders, director of regulatory studies for the John Locke Foundation. "Overall, for consumers, it would expand the lending market options, especially for those who have the fewest options available to them.
"Right now, about 5 percent of North Carolinians are taking out payday loans, but they're either going online to do so, or they're going across the border, if they live close to Virginia or South Carolina."
There were 902 payday lending stores in the state before the law was allowed to sunset.
Typically, payday lending customers are those who lack enough credit, income or both to attain a traditional loan. They write a check to the lender for the loan amount plus a fee, with an agreement the check won't be cashed until 15-30 days after it's written. S.B. 89 institutes a $15 fee per $100 borrowed.
The renewed push for legalization has drawn attention from the AARP, NAACP and other groups who believe payday lending is predatory on low-income borrowers, pulling them into a never-ending cycle of debt and leaving them worse off than they were before.
As well, payday lenders have been accused of taking advantage of members of the military. While S.B. 89 bans giving payday loans to service members, that ban doesn't extend to other members of the family.
"It definitely means the individuals who get the loans will have less money to spend, because they're spending so much money on fees," said Al Ripley, director of Consumer and Housing Affairs at the N.C. Justice Center. "And that also means you'll have a negative impact in the community, because your local economy is also going to hurt because people are going to have less money. So, it has a lot of negative impacts like that."
Ripley said that once one loan is received, some people have trouble paying it off so they take out another loan. The bill contains measures to prevent people from falling into that trap, such as capping the loan amount at $500, capping the fee at 15 percent of the loan amount, requiring a 24-hour cooling off period after paying off one loan to take out another and allowing one loan a year to be entered into an extended payment plan.
But, the measures aren't fool-proof.
"In the states that have this law in place, the average borrower gets nine loans a year, and up to one-third of those borrowers end up getting 14 loans a year," Ripley said. "So, even with what the industry calls 'consumer protections' in place, people end up getting trapped in loans that have 391 percent APR and end up getting multiple loans a year."
Multiple studies show consumers are against the legalization of the high-interest loans. According to a study conducted by the Pew Charitable Trusts this year, though, many of those same people like having payday loans available to them.
"They liked the fact they weren't putting their credit at further risk, they didn't have to deal with bankers, or sitting in a long line and having people go over their credit history and being embarrassed," Sanders said. "Or, having to go hat-in-hand to family and friends, or an employer. Or have creditors calling them on the phone and harassing them. It's a real trade-off, and I think that's what it costs, was that it was a trade-off."
Sen. Don Davis, D-Greene, sits on the Commerce Committee, but hasn't explicitly ruled out supporting the bill.
"I'm not excited about the bill," Davis said. "As the bill is currently drafted, it actually extends protections for consumers through the provisions that would prevent revolving loans and set it at one loan until it is paid off, and actually putting in a database to manage that.
"So, it is a step in the right direction in terms of protecting consumers. At the same time, it is important, I believe, to regulate such loans."
Unlike other high-profile proposals this year in the General Assembly, payday lending doesn't have the full support of the Republican majority and the governor. Gov. Pat McCrory publicly came out against the bill in February, and some legislators aren't eager to refight issues thought to be settled years ago.
"At this point in time, I'm not in favor of the bill," Sen. Louis Pate, R-Wayne, said. "I think it hurts, especially, young military people. It really does not help them at all, and I just don't know that we need to be delving into that right now. It was a long battle several years ago to get rid of it, and I'm not sure we're ready to take it back just yet."

But for a few days there was an issue with the water supply, people were recommended to boil the water and the coffee machines couldn't do that so they were all switched off one morning with no warning and nobody in the direct vicinity sold coffee either.

There is no food that has negative calories. You can get fat from everything if you eat it in excess. Thus substituting food where the amount needed to cause someone to be obese is higher is just raising the bar, but not solving the problem.
The problem is moderation and getting people to realize overweight is wholly caused by a lack of it, even in those who may have a disease that presupposes them to it (in that case, of course, the amount of moderation required may simply be out of reach). The continued perverse idea that moderation isn't important as long as you eat "healthy" drives those who don't practice good moderation to eat dozens of broccoli crowns drizzled in melted cheese.
The fact is that, gram for gram, junk food is higher in calories and lower in nutrition than healthy food. Hence the term "junk" food.
One 180g apple is about 100 kcal, while 180g of donuts (3.5 Krispy Kremes) is seven times as much at about 700 kcal. One has fiber to moderate its gylcemic index, the other represents a sugar spike + crash and burn. Both can taste pretty good, but physiologically one will keep you satisfied for a big while the other one will have you reaching for more food in no time. Our natural food response cycle, the one that's so it's hard to fight against, wants to eat until we're full. If you chose to eat your fill of apples you'll be doing much better than your fill of donuts.

Those who know the Tibetan issue, know that Xinhua and the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman repeats their well known narrative; since the Chinese authorities lack the political courage to address the genuine concerns of the Tibetan people, they find fault with each and every initiative of the Dalai Lama under his Middle Way approach.
The Chinese Government says, "the "middle way" approach demands independence by its very nature." But the White House statement reflects the international community's acknowledgement that the Dalai Lama's approach is one that is not of independence, but of securing dignity and respect for the Tibetan people while addressing stability concerns of China.
Therefore, if there is one clear political message from the Obama-Dalai Lama meeting, it is this: the United States is against the assimilation of the Tibetan people and that the Middle Way is the solution to the Tibetan problem.

Is there hope that China can acknowledge a people's need to keep it's integrity and national characteristics? Can China abide to something of this sort? I really admire the Tibetan people's endurance and strong self-awareness. I am optimistic as long as there are people in this world who are of a kind that can penetrate the wall of power imposed on them and come through to us, all of us! Like Dalai Lama!
I am a supporter!!

The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard
The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard (Paperback)
Before he brilliantly traversed the gritty landscapes of underworld Detroit and Miami, Elmore Leonard wrote breathtaking adventures set in America's nineteenth-century western frontier—elevating a popular genre with his now-trademark twisting plots, rich characterizations, and scalpel-sharp dialogue.
No author has ever written more evocatively of the dusty, gutsy heyday of the American West than Elmore Leonard. This complete collection of his thirty-one Western tales will thrill lovers of the genre, his die-hard fans, and everyone in between. From his very first story ever published—"The Trail of the Apache"—through five decades of classic Western tales, The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard demonstrates the superb talent for language and gripping narrative that has made Leonard one of the most acclaimed and influential writers of our time.
About the Author
Elmore Leonard has written more than forty books during his highly successful writing career, including the bestsellers Road Dogs, Up in Honey's Room, The Hot Kid, Mr. Paradise, Tishomingo Blues, and the critically acclaimed collection of short stories When the Women Come Out to Dance. Many of his books have been made into movies, including Get Shorty, Out of Sight, and Be Cool. Justified, the hit series from FX, is based on Leonard's character Raylan Givens, who appears in Riding the Rap, Pronto, the short story "Fire in the Hole," and Raylan. Leonard is the recipient of the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN USA, and the Grand Master Award of the Mystery Writers of America. He lives in Bloomfield Village, Michigan.
Praise for The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard…
"Even the earliest of his western yarns show Leonard to be a master storyteller."
-Los Angeles Times
"Leonard has penned some of the best western fiction ever."

Office of Independent Education & Parental Choice
Florida Tax Credit Scholarships Program
news for choice! To encourage private, voluntary contributions, to expand educational
opportunities for children of families that have limited financial resources
and to enable children in this state to achieve a greater level of excellence
in their education, the 2001 Florida Legislature created s. 220.187, Florida Statutes, establishing the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship
Program. In 2010, the FTC Scholarship Program was expanded and renumbered
as Section 1002.395, Florida Statutes.
The law provides for state tax credits for contributions to nonprofit scholarship funding organizations, called SFOs. The SFO's then award scholarships to eligible children of families that have limited financial resources. The tax credit cap for the current year is $357,812,500. The tax credit cap amount will increase to $447,265,625 for the 2015-2016 state fiscal year.
Families interested in participating in the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program should contact an eligible Scholarship Funding Organization directly.

Groovy has native language support for collections, lists, maps and arrays.
You can create lists as follows. Notice that [] is the empty list expression.
Each list expression creates an implementation of java.util.List.
See Lists and Sets for more information on using Lists.
Ranges allow you to create a list of sequential values. These can be used as Lists since Range extends java.util.List.
Ranges defined with the .. notation are inclusive (that is the list contains the from and to value).
Ranges defined with the ..< notation are half-open, they include the first value but not the last value.
Note that ranges are implemented efficiently, creating a lightweight Java object containing a from and to value.
Ranges can be used for any Java object which implements java.lang.Comparable for comparison and also have methods next() and previous() to return the next / previous item in the range.
e.g. you can use Strings in a range
Ranges can be used to iterate using the for statement.
but alternatively you can achieve the same effect, by iterating a range with each method:
Ranges can be also used in the
switch statements:
Maps can be created using the following syntax. Notice that [:] is the empty map expression.
Map keys are strings by default: [a:1] is equivalent to ["a":1]. But if you really want a variable to become the key, you have to wrap it between parentheses: [(a):1].
Maps also act like beans so you can use the property notation to get/set items inside the Map provided that the keys are Strings which are valid Groovy identifiers.
Note: by design map.foo will always look for the key foo in map. This means foo.class will return null on an empty map and not result in calling the method getClass()
See Maps for more information on using maps.
Getting efficient with the star-dot '*.' operator
You can perform operations on all the members of a collection using the '*.' operator, e.g.:
Enhanced Collection Methods
In addition to providing the literal syntax for collections, Groovy adds some additional methods to make working with collections more convenient. As an example, you can find big words from a list as follows:
Or you can find the first letters of some words as follows:
In addition to findAll and collect shown above, you have methods like findIndexOf, grep, any, every, min, max, flatten, intersect, disjoint, sort, join and others. Simply look up the GDK doco for more details. You might want to look up the added methods for Collection, List and Object to start with.
Some more details about these methods can also be found in the Quick Start Guide under JN1015-Collections.
Slicing with the subscript operator
You can index into Strings, Lists, arrays, Maps, regexs and such like using the subscript expression.
Notice that you can use ranges to extract part of a List/array/String/regex. This is often referred to as slicing in scripting languages like Python. You can also use a list of indexes too.
You can update items using the subscript operator too
You can use negative indices to count from the end of the List, array, String etc.
Also if you use a backwards range (the starting index is greater than the end index) then the answer is reversed.
Dynamic objects (Expandos)
The Expando is not a collection in the strictest sense, but in some ways it is similar to a Map, or objects in JavaScript that do not have to have their properties defined in advance. It allows you to create dynamic objects by making use of Groovy's closure mechanisms. An Expando is different from a map in that you can provide synthetic methods that you can call on the object.
The player.greeting assignment passes in a closure to execute when greeting() is called on the Expando. Notice that the closure has access to the properties assigned to the Expando, even though these values may change over time, using Groovy's GString "$variableOrProperty" notation.

Gallery: Barnard College's Diana Center is a Green-Roofed Gem in NYC
The new multi-use arts center for Barnard College is located on Broadway in Morningside Heights.
The Diana Center is a relatively small campus made up of architecturally-varied buildings, located on Broadway in Morningside Heights. The college was relatively cut-off from the surrounding neighborhood, so Weiss/Manfredi were brought in to design a multi-use arts center that unifies the campus and creates an innovative center for campus life.
The new 98,000 square-foot campus building includes multiple arts programs like architecture and painting studios, a 500-seat performance space, and a black box theater. The center also features a cafe and a reading room in addition to classrooms and exhibition galleries.

You always knew the world would run out of IPv4 internet addresses, but you might not have realized, the cupboard could begin running dry as soon as this week. You also know, federal agencies should have made the conversion to IPv6 a while ago. So now what? Sheila Frankel, a computer scientist in the Computer Security Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, joins us with details.
Each host or computer on the Internet requires an Internet Protocol address in order to communicate. The growth of the Internet has created a need for more addresses than are possible with the current system, IPv4. Federal News Radio follows the government's implementation of IPv6.

The Tibetans have suffered every bit as much as the Palestinians. Over a million of them died as a direct result of the Chinese occupation of their country. Where are the Tibetan suicide bombers? Where is their cult of martyrdom? Where are the throngs of Tibetans seething with hatred, calling for the deaths of the Chinese? They are not likely to exist. What is the difference that makes the difference? Religion.
It doesn't take a mental acrobat to call Tibetan Buddhism religious and claim the difference is what kind of religious dogmas you hold (killing oneself, killing the other, etc).
Just because they use self-immolation instead of bombing, doesn´t mean they don´t commit suicide ´in defense of their faith´. It´s the return of their religious figure as a political leader that´s what causing chinese authorities to violate human rights by locking them up. After reading what Michael Parenti has to says on the issue (Friendly Fuedalism), I´ve been less and less inclined to blindly follow the anti-chinese sentiment. Though obviously we could enter a political, economic and social debate that would undercut the other argument Sam makes (that these would be universal if only we´d be reasonable).
I still call myself a buddhist*, still support students for a free tibet (at least in name) and saw the Dalai Lama speak (and was underwhelmed by his old-fashioned views on sexuality and sexism in particular).
*Mainly because of this quote
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
which as been paraphrased by new agers to signify that facts and conversation do not need to disturb the dogmatic mind.
In my native language there is a poet who claims to ´be god in the deepest (corner)´ which I found to be a good way of looking at consciousness. We could claim there´s a lot of sophistication in gnosticism and there´s no need to rely on buddhist teachings because it´s been turned into a religion-cult by the people who ´worship the buddha like he´s santa claus´*. In the beginning of christianity, it was nothing but a variety of cults and for every dogma there was an opposite dogma (even for the divinity of christ, such as socianism). Why there should be nuance in buddhism but none in christianity is beyond me. Though I readily admit I'd still rather call myself a buddhist than a christian, it's mainly to avoid misunderstandings.
*Or cutting of flowers and letting them rot at the giant statues of buddha. This idolatry has little to do with the philosophy and I didn't mind the Taliban blowing that UNESCO heritage up (unlike some artsy farty non-buddhists I know who cried). It was giving buddhists a bad (meaning religious) name. Although I'd rather nobody destroy anything and people be more reflexive (surely they've all built their own mini-shrines by now so it didn´t help).
I think the self-immolation is a form of martyrdom, similar to Jesus on the Cross (if we skip the reading where that was an accident and he was calling for a violent revolution which failed). Making it okay to suffer, because he'll be incarnated in heaven anyway.
I consider it impolite to give a speech at a forum without posing a question, so here it is:
Does anybody have a source for the 1(.2) million people being dead as a direct result of chinese occupation?

Midwest Living Review
Holiday World Theme Park and Splashin' Safari is a combination amusement and water park best known for its water slides and trend-setting roller coasters like Thunderbird, the first launched "wing" coaster in the country. During the summer months, the water park is particularly packed, so be prepared for lots of crowds. With that said, there's plenty about this adventure land that makes it a great deal for the entire family, including free parking, Wi-Fi, soft drinks, and sunscreen in the park. Food is even reasonably priced! The theme park features four main holidays -- 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas. Within each area, the restaurants, shops and music in each area incorporate that theme. For example, in the Christmas area, you can visit Santa and have your picture taken with him and dine in Mrs. Klaus' Kitchen. There's also a kiddie ride area called Rudolph's Reindeer Ranch, which features five main rides with little to no waiting. Splashin' Safari scored above average in terms of size, cleanliness and variety of water activities. We particularly loved that there are more than a dozen different water slides to accommodate all age groups. The only downside: In the summer, it can get overcrowded making it difficult to keep track of your kids or really enjoy yourself. All in all, the park is a great destination if you're up for the crowds. We recommend you make it a two-day trip so you have plenty of time to take in all the park has to offer without burning you or your family out.

Bloomberg Businessweek
There's a rule of thumb that says a $10 rise in the price of a barrel of oil reduces gross domestic product growth by anywhere from 0.2 to 0.5 percentage points. Applied over the past six months, when crude prices rose by about $30 from early October to the end of March, that means dearer oil might've chewed as much as 1.5 percent out of GDP growth during the last two quarters. Not a trivial amount considering GDP increased 3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg tend to think the economy grew just 2.2 percent in the first three months of 2012, when the price of gas really took off.Oil is our economy's most important raw material. The price of it (and therefore, gasoline) impacts the price of just about everything we buy, from groceries to clothes to app

Tim Floyd is a great coach andwill do a great job of coaching the post men and game planning. This will be a great role for him. He turned Magloire into an all star then he fell off the map after.

Tim Floyd is best at being a college coach imo. I don't know that NBA players respect him. Baron surely didn't but then again Baron is a special case so it will remain to be seen.
I'm not at all surprised by this. I looked for a breaking news bulletin each time the Hornets lost a game this season.
The official announcement:
November 12, 2009
NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have relieved Byron Scott of head coaching duties. Scott will be replaced by General Manager Jeff Bower.
I want to thank Byron for the hard work he has put in during his time with the Hornets, said Hornets Owner George Shinn. Ive hired Jeff Bower to take over the coaching reign. He knows this team better than anyone, has the respect of the players and in basketball circles, is regarded as one of the best basketball minds in the business. This is our best opportunity to reach our goals this season.
Bower, who has spent his 14-plus seasons with the club, has been an invaluable asset for the Hornets at all levels in basketball operations. He began his tenure with the Hornets as an advance scout from 1995 to 1997 before earning a promotion as the teams director of scouting. In addition to his scouting duties during the 1998-99 season, Bower joined the coaching ranks as an assistant after Paul Silas was named interim head coach on March 7, 1999 (and helped him lead the Hornets to a 22-13 record). After serving as the assistant general manager for the 2000-01 season, Bower was promoted to general manager in June of 2001 and has since held that position. He returned to the bench as an assistant coach under Floyd in 2003-04. Bowers years of experience working at all levels in the Hornets basketball operations department culminated with his appointment to the current post of general manager just prior to the start of the teams 2005-06 training camp.
Accountability was our theme this past summer, said Hornets Vice President of Basketball Chad Shinn. We talked about the fact that everyone on our staff is held to a certain standard of performance and we didnt feel this was happening at the head coach level. We feel like we still have an opportunity with our nucleus to get to where we want and Jeff is the right guy, right now to move us in that direction from the bench.
As we look at our long-term coaching plans, its not about who the head coach is, its about the role of the head coach to get the team to perform to their capabilities and reaching our potential this season, said Bower.
Prior to joining the Hornets, Bower enjoyed an impressive career at the collegiate level. He spent three years as an assistant coach at Penn State University from 1983-86 before moving to Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. After first serving as an assistant coach from 1986 through 1990, he was promoted to associate head coach, a position he held for five years. Bower helped lead the Red Foxes to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1987 after winning the Northeast Conference.
In a related move, Tim Floyd has been hired as the top assistant coach.
Floyd served as head coach of the Hornets for the 2003-04 season, leading the team to a 41-41 record. Most recently, Floyd served as the head coach at USC from 2005-2009, leading the Trojans to a 85-49 mark and three NCAA appearances during his tenure. In the 2007 NCAA Tournament, Floyd led USC to a Sweet 16 appearance. The teams 25-12 record that season set a record for most wins in school history. The Trojans advanced to the second round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament before falling to eventual runner-up Michigan State. Floyd also coached for the Chicago Bulls, Iowa State, the University of Idaho and Texas-El Paso. Floyd is a native of Hattiesburg, Miss., and a 1977 graduate of Louisiana Tech.
I have no problem with Bower as the coach at this point, this is the trend of the NBA with the GM taking over coaching duties mid-season. It saves money and also makes the GM a bit more responsible for the team he has assembled. Bower is a BB coach, whether he is any good, who knows.
The Floyd thing makes this move look bush league though.
We were already 3-6 and getting blown out by 50.Originally Posted by Oh! Captain
So it's kind of like Isiah. Now it's up to Bower to coach the team he put together.

Seems like Shinn STILL wants to contend this season, unbelievable but the guy is just delusional so we should expect it. Also note that they make zero mention of Floyd's Chicago tenureOriginally Posted by say-what
Precisely, except Bower is a much lesser name and won't last nearly as long as Isiah did.Originally Posted by HunnyB
all the drama queens, Jesus. Let the guy play one game and we'll see how this pans out. Maybe Bower isn't such a bad idea. Face it, if the guy makes it bad then next season we will have both new GM and HC... And Floyd was a great college coach who now might be a lot more mature than he was in his first nba span, this can work but nothing is written in stone at this point.
This season was written off when Scott entered it as a lame duck. It could only get worse from there and did.Originally Posted by metalzo

Excellent airflowby Dan - verified purchaser
The largest vents I've ever seen in a leather jacket, front and back. The sleeves also unzip to let air flow up the arms. Ingenious pockets accessible from inside the vents. Excellent quality, very good fit. I measure a 48 so I got the 48-50. It is a little snug, but I never wear more than a t-shirt under the jacket anyway even in winter. It is plenty warm with the liner zipped in.

Kindle is Amazon.com's e-reader device as well as the name of its e-book reader applications. Utilizing E Ink technology, the Kindle displays 16 different shades of gray in high contrast to give the sensation of reading a regular book or newspaper. The device downloads new content through a WiFi connection or Amazon's free 3G "Whispersync" connection.
Books can be downloaded from Amazon's website, or directly from the Kindle store, accessible through the Kindle itself. Magazines, audiobooks, newspapers and some blogs are now available for the Kindle (a subscription fee may apply in some cases), expanding the device's functionality beyond that of an e-book reader.
In 2009, Amazon released Kindle applications for Windows, Android, Apple, and BlackBerry devices on which people can download Kindle books, and read them on non-Kindle devices, such as computers, cell phones and tablets.
The environmental impact of e-readers, like the Kindle, is an issue of debate. While they can save trees, e-readers utilize various nonrenewable rare earth materials which must be mined at great cost to the environment. With new versions rolling out every few years, the devices can become obsolete fairly quickly.

There's a line of thinking that says it's better not to get drafted at all than to be one of the final few players selected at the end of the last round.
The idea is it's more beneficial to have the freedom of picking and choosing a team based on need and fit as an undrafted free agent than getting tied down to one particular organization that may or may not have a spot for you.
There's a lot of logic to the theory. Unless, that is, you were chosen as the ACC's preseason Player of the Year and projected as a certain first-round choice only a few months earlier.
In that case, getting passed over by all 30 NBA teams — in both the first and second rounds — isn't an opportunity at all.
Quite the opposite.
For former N.C. State star C.J. Leslie, who passed up his final season of college eligibility to enter what was generally considered a weak draft, Thursday night's rejection was the culmination of a wasted opportunity the likes of which has rarely been seen in the ACC.
It was the crash landing of a three-year freefall that saw Leslie go from being one of the most sought-after prospects in the nation to an unwanted talent saddled with the worst possible label a player can be given – that of an unmotivated prima donna with an attitude problem.
Warranted or not, it's a reputation for which Leslie has no one but himself to blame. He earned it with his wildly inconsistent play, emotional on-court outbursts, poor decision-making skills and a "me-first" mindset enhanced by a pair of suspensions during a career that left Wolfpack fans both thrilled and frustrated.
They are flaws not even a 13.7 career scoring average, 7.3 rebounds per game or an unlimited amount of athletic ability could gloss over.
And unlike North Carolina's Reggie Bullock, who seemingly came out of nowhere to earn first-round selection by the Los Angeles Clippers thanks to the favorable impression he made during predraft workouts, Leslie did little to stop the red flags that were waving all around him.
That includes opting out of the NBA's Scouting Combine with what was described as a hand injury.
The NBA draft isn't a popularity contest or a means of validation for those coming out of college with the most hype. It's about teams looking for players they think will help them win.
Though general managers will sometimes take a chance in the second round on a player thought to be 'tweener — as Leslie is — or as a developmental project, they almost always steer clear of marginal players identified as having character issues.
The fact that every one of them thought there were 60 players better suited than Leslie to helping their teams win speaks volumes.
That's not to say the two-time All-ACC selection can't or won't get a shot at becoming a successful NBA player. As former UNC rival and current San Antonio Spurs sharpshooter Danny Green has proven, the first round of the draft isn't the only road to professional stardom.
Leslie's alternate route will begin this summer as an undrafted free agent with the New York Knicks. He signed with the team shortly after the draft ended.
But because his challenge involves factors such as hustle and attitude almost as much as it does blocking shots and putting the ball in the basket, his journey will likely include a detour to either the D-League or overseas.
That's the last place Leslie figured to be at this point in his career. Under the circumstances, it could end up being the best thing for him.
If the one-time star can show he's capable of setting aside his ego, stepping out of the spotlight and doing things the hard way, he can begin the process of dispelling the reputation that forced him into this situation in the first place.
Only then will he finally get the opportunity that was denied him Thursday.

This shirt looks and feels fantastic. It fits like a glove, does not absorb bad odors, and has a very rugged look and feel, yet it's not scratchy at all. I think this is the best color out of all the wool products I own, because it looks like it's undyed, even if it is.I recommend it highly, because it looks and feels great, and because it enhances one's own olfactory presence.
Been using as a base layer for mountain biking, hiking, and trailrunning. While it does the trick with pulling moisture away from the body, it can be a little uncomfortable as weather climbs above 80... Warm weather people may look to something lighter
NAMO AMITABHA. This crewe top will wrap around your body. I love the cutting and soft feel. If you have love handle and want to hide under it, think twice. Otherwise, I will highly recommanded for someone who is in good shape. Namo amitabha.
i have worn this shirt a lot. i last used it on a 3 day float trip. wore it everyday without it being washed and it didn't get all stanky. highly recommended. nice and soft. pretty snug fit tho, was hoping it would be more loose when i bought it. not tight like a compression under armour shirt, but snug.
It was my first Icebreaker garment. They advertise on the odor free characteristic of merino wool, but I wanted to know by myself. I wore it for 2 weeks day and night... and became an Icebreaker fanatic! You should try it.
Wool has its advantages, but my synthetics are cooler than this shirt in the hotter weather. Love merino, but I just happen to be one of those few people who actually washes my clothes on a regular basis. So the smell thing doesn't matter to much, unless I'm out in the woods--and that's why folks like merino, too. But the really shortcoming of this short, and I have plenty of fitted ones, is that the sleeves are just too short in relation to the shirt itself. Has nothing to do with hugging your body; they just come up goofy short, even on the XL--too short--and I usually wear a M or L.

Popular To-Do App 'Clear' Coming to Mac With iCloud Syncing
Popular iOS to-do app Clear is coming to the Mac complete with iCloud cross-platform syncing. Clear launched earlier this year to strong reviews of its minimalist interface. The app is designed to be extremely quick and easy to use, with lists automatically color coded in order of priority. The Mac app is expected to be released next week on November 8th. Realmac, the creator of Clear, plans to price the Mac version at $15. It will require OS X Mountain Lion.
Update: Nik Fletcher, product manager for RealMac Software, commented in the MacRumors forum about the pricing decision on Clear for Mac:
|Oct 31, 2012, 10:08 AM
While I like the clean, minimal design/aesthetic (very nice work UI team), the app is so minimal I found myself needing a bit more function. I've not used it outside of the first week of experimentation.
That said, $15 is an absolute joke for the desktop version. Sure, iCloud sync is nifty. But $15 is a bit steep for a pretty to-do list app. I guess it all comes down to the adoption rate for which Clear is targeting. At $2 (iOS)/$15 (OS X), I don't see this taking off - which may be fine with them. At $2/$4 or better, FREE/$2... I suspect you'd see some significant adoption. I could be wrong. Would not be the first nor the last.
Now if there are updates to the app down the road, I may revisit. But as it stands now... I'm good.

Seems to be a pretty nice app, but what are the benefits compared to Apple's built-in reminders ?
|Oct 31, 2012, 10:14 AM
It's practically the same as the iPhone version, which is $2, so they price the Mac version at $15? That makes *total* sense. They're practically begging people to pirate it.
|Oct 31, 2012, 10:16 AM
$15? there's no reason for $15. At least Tweetbot had a good reason for their massive price tag.
|Oct 31, 2012, 10:20 AM
Are you kidding me? I spent double what it was worth to buy it on the app store, and it's taken THIS LONG to get iCloud syncing... I had to reorganize my whole to-do-list-life in order to use Clear up until this point. And now they want $15 for a rehashed desktop version?
Uh, no. What jack***es.

Who is it popular with? Hipsters? It looks too minimalistic and too edgy. Form over function and usability.

I just use a combo of Reminders and Wunderlist, but guys stop complaining about $15 software. A lot of time, effort, and money goes in to developing quality software. You don't have to buy it if it doesn't suit your needs, but I would say $15 is a bargain for daily-use software like this.
|Oct 31, 2012, 11:01 AM
If it supported Reminders, I might consider paying $15, but this is a wee bit ridiculous.

I just don't think that what their offering is $15 worthy. Some will. Some won't. I'm of the latter.
As stated earlier, should they evolve the app, I might revisit. The simple, clean, minimal UI is fantastic. But at $15, it needs a bit more oomph. For me. One guy.

I found that I just ended up not using it much. Asking Siri to remind me of something or creating a To-Do list in Notes is much better.
I can only fit so many apps on my iPhone homescreen so this one bit the dust.

Disclaimer: I work at Realmac Software, makers of Clear.
Thanks for your feedback, guys. It's interesting to hear your thoughts on the app and pricing. Pricing it is always tricky, and whilst some folks may think that pricing is something that is simply determined at the last moment, that's not the case with us. We gave the Clear pricing a **lot** of thought (and continue to do so). We think great apps are worth paying for, and we want to ensure that we can always continue to build apps that people want to use.
Thanks again, I hope you enjoy using Clear for Mac and iPhone w/iCloud when it launches next week.

Jeez, judging from the comments complaining about price, I can see most people here don't have a clue about software development and how product pricing works.
They can price Clear for iOS at $1.99 because there's a huge market--ie, people looking to keep a simple to do list on their mobile device. The price is very low, but the developers turn a good profit by selling to the masses.
The market for people looking for a Mac version is much MUCH smaller, yet it can easily take just as much time to design/code/test the Mac product as it did the iOS version. Hence the higher price. Without mass sales, the price has to be higher to turn a reasonable profit.
As for Clear's design, it's very simple, but that's what a lot of people want/need. I've known three people who tried multiple to do apps on their phone, and never got in the habit of using them regularly. I introduced each one of them to Clear, and they all took to it because it was so easy and fast.
The gestures work beautifully, and the developers deserve credit for coming up with such an out-of-the-box approach (there are dozens of to do apps out there, and none thought to create a gesture-driven interface like the Clear developers did).
I just hope iCLoud synching works reliably. iCloud synch for Apple's Reminders desktop app sure doesn't.
|Oct 31, 2012, 01:02 PM
I'm having a hard time seeing what this does over Reminders. I've never had an issue with reminders syncing - in fact is was perfect on Lion through the calendar - it seems a tiny bit faster now there is an independent app.
I am on the "get what you pay for" side, and I totally agree $2 and $15 are reasonable prices for quality software adding some useful functionality. The problem here is the second point... I don't see how they have added $15 of usability now that Reminders is a separate app. Back in Lion when it was buried in mail, sure I would have paid $15 to have a better interface, but now? I don't know why it was developed, or why Apple approved it.. don't they have problems with apps that duplicate existing functionality?
My $0.02.
|Oct 31, 2012, 01:06 PM
Meh, I tried Clear when it was 99c.
I LOVED the design and aesthetics - great work there, with all the swipe stuff etc
But it was never very... useful. No alerts, no option to add notes to that entry, no scheduling etc. I understand they went for simplistic but it just seemed too simple.
Hoping the great design can be transferred to a useful-er app in the future.

I'm always the guy advocating for developers. They deserve to get paid when they do good work. But "clearly" this app isn't worth $15. It's great design, but not worth the price of admission. I consider this an accessory to the iPhone version, which means I might occasionally use it. I'd pick it up for $5, but $15? No chance. I almost feel offended by a $15 asking price. Do they think we're dumb? This app lacks basic functionality. At $10 I would feel less offended, but still probably wouldn't purchase.
And yes, I did buy Tweetbot for $20. But that app does far more than make pretty lists. It is extremely full featured. You see, minimalism is great on a phone when you need to quickly add items and sort things, but when I sit down to my Mac I'm doing real work. This is not a real to-do list manager. Even Tweetbot on the iPhone is somewhat minimalist, but neatly tucks away all the advanced stuff so it's still easily accessible.
What I'm more interested to know is this: does the new iPhone version with iCloud sync mean that it ties into our existing reminders, or does it just sync Clear data between devices? Because I use Siri all the time to add things to lists, and have stopped using Clear because it doesn't support that. I'd love to ditch Reminders and go back to Clear, but lack of Siri integration kind of kills it for me.

I bought Clear on iOS and while it had a nice minimalistic UI, it was just too simple to use.
The Reminders App replaced it easy.
I use 2Do for my task managing. And their Mac version is coming out soon.
It's really the best task manager in the market.
And i've bought and tried Things and Omnifocus too.
|Oct 31, 2012, 02:05 PM
Remember Nik, this forum also has at least one poster who brags about how he regularly uses 6 - 8 GB of his unlimited AT&T 3G data plan.
Just ignore the fringes. If you're not willing to pay $15 for an app that will improve the use of your time then your time probably isn't worth too much to begin with.
