S. Srinath and R. Anusha, students of Anna University, have been selected by NASA for their prize-winning aircraft design. DIVYA KUMARspoke to the duo
S. Srinath and R. Anusha travelled on an airplane for the first time in their lives recently. The two engineering students had heard a lot about what it would be like, but found their experience was rather different from that of other first-time flyers. That's probably because the others hadn't designed an entire aircraft just a couple of months before. Or won an award from NASA for their design.
It's hard to tell what the two Anna University students are more enthusiastic about when we meet up on the Guindy campus' airy grounds — their first journey aboard a plane or their recently announced second prize in the international category of NASA's Fundamental Aeronautics contest.
"I travelled to Port Blair with my family, but I was more excited about the flight than about the actual visit," laughs Srinath.
"I spent my whole flight with my face plastered to the window," admits Anusha. "The amazing part was that it was a night flight, so I got to watch a constellation of stars and observe how the wing of the plane works at the same time."
Their other journey — the one that will take them to Atlanta, USA, this October to present their paper at a NASA conference and receive their award — began way back in January. That's when Anusha, a final-year mechanical engineering student, stumbled across the announcement for the design contest while browsing the space agency's website.
For the last year, she had been doing independent research in aerodynamics under the guidance Dr. E. Natarajan, a specialist in combustion and propulsion, and this was the perfect opportunity to put all that she'd learned together. And it was only natural that she would team up with Srinath, the third-year student of geo-informatics she'd worked with on post-graduate-level projects under Dr. Natarajan.
"They didn't cudgel their brains to come up with something for just this paper," remarks the professor, who served as their faculty advisor for the contest. "Rather, it was a matter of putting together things they'd been working on for some time."
That meant the duo's unusual Blended Wing Body aircraft design came together rather smoothly in the next couple of months. They became one of the 14 teams from across the world taking part in the contest that required participants to design a transport aircraft of the future — one that would be able to take off on a short runway, would use noise-reduction technology and be fuel efficient.
Still, they had virtually zero expectation of actually winning. When the results were announced via email about a month later, they couldn't believe their eyes — literally.
"The email just said a two-man team from Anna University had won second place. I called Srinath and said, 'it's probably us, right?'" says Anusha, adding in amusement, "I actually ended up mailing them back asking 'is it us?'"
Not surprisingly, aeronautics features pretty prominently in their future plans. Anusha wants to do post-graduate studies and research in aeronautical engineering and Srinath plans to specialise in photogrammetry, the study of aerial photography for creating three-dimensional models and maps of the earth's surface. Meanwhile, their love-affair with everything aircraft-related continues, as evidenced by the way their eyes roll up to the sky in unison every time a low-flying jet plane roars by on its way to the airport just a few kilometres away.
"We always look up at them and try and guess what aircraft it is," says Srinath by way of explanation.
And they don't even mind the constant noise of planes overhead at their campus. "We love it because it reminds us of all that engine technology — it's like background music," he says with a grin.
In their case, you could probably call it the sweet sound of success.The Fundamental Aeronautics Program of the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters conducts this aeronautics contest annually All four of NASA's aeronautics centres (Ames, Dryden, Glenn and Langley) participate in reviewing entries The winners for 2007-2008 in the U.S. were Georgia Institute of Technology (graduate team) and Virginia Institute of Technology (undergraduate team). The international winners were University of Technology, Sydney, Australia and Anna University, Chennai, India.The next contest will be announced on or before September 1, 2008.For details, refer: http://aero.larc.nasa.gov/competitions_univ.htm

Thirty-nine teams competed in this year's Student Innovator of the Year competition, according to Zsiros, which was sponsored by the Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology and Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology at BYU.
Seven teams were chosen in the preliminary round — a fair-like event with boards and prototypes from every team to share their products.
In the final round, the seven groups produced a short presentation of their product and business plan.
"The purpose (of the competition) is to provide resources to students who have an idea for a new product, whether it's a physical product or we do websites as well," Zsiros said. All applicants are screened and then given $400 to create a prototype for the competition.
"I think they've done a good job to create a network of mentors that can help, and giving cash to help develop something and to think outside the box," said Tyler Slater, a member of one of the teams to tie for third place, of the competition. "We've definitely benefited from some of the contacts we've gotten from the Rollins Center and the Business School."
Slater's team has created Intuiplan, a paperless management tool for businesses to use for notifications, procedures and organizations that would normally be done on paper. The team tied for third place and won a $2,000 cash prize.
Ever since Jung Lee moved to the U.S. from Korea he wondered why Americans didn't use intercom systems; with the Student Innovator competition he was finally able to pull together a idea he had to fix this.
"It's a doorbell that has a built-in camera, speaker and microphone and is connected with Wi-Fi so you can use smart-phone technology and answer the door anywhere," Lee said. "It's great the school provides this opportunity. ... It was really great because we were able to meet with other people and work with other people and get positive feedback about our product to help solve the problems that we faced.
"I don't think my idea was extraordinary or great. ... I would tell people who have a good idea — they have to look out and talk to as many people as possible and use their talent ... just don't give up."

Well, if you want to take a look at something that *looks good* then just look out your window or put on an HD-DVD or Blu-ray movie. Both of those look even better and run at a better framerate. Neither require a patch or a driver update, either.
Xion, this thread's topic has absolutely *zero* relation to frames per second. It is purely, 100% about *visuals*. Nobody said Crysis was fun or easy to play at less than X fps- that is *not* the topic of discussion here. We're pointing out how you're derailing this thread with your little rant. If you don't like how Crysis performs, take your issues with the game to the appropriate thread- but don't unhash them in here.
From a pure *visuals* standpoint, Crysis dominates Uncharted. Hands down, no contest. From a smooth framerate at max settings standpoint, Uncharted would win as it remains playable even with max IQ settings. But again-
*that is not the topic of discussion here*
If all your wanting to do is rant about the cruddy fps in Crysis at max settings, then take it to the appropriate thread. That's all that we're saying.

Blue-Eyed Jihad
An exclusive conversation with European radicals fighting for an Islamic state in Syria.
- By Harald DoornbosHarald Doornbos is a reporter based in Pakistan covering the greater Middle East., Jenan MoussaJenan Moussa is the roving reporter of Dubai-based Al Aan TV.
ATMEH, Syria — European jihadists in Syria have been blamed by some Syrians for ruining the purity of their revolution, held up by Bashar al-Assad's regime as a sign of that the rebels are foreign-backed radicals, and feared by Western security agencies as a potential terrorist threat. But despite all the talk about them, they rarely speak with outsiders about their beliefs and goals. So when two European jihadists agreed to speak with us, it marked the first time that fighters working with al Qaeda inside Syria explained to the world why they are doing battle in Syria and what future they imagine for the country.
The two fighters — one of whom is an ethnic European who converted to Islam, while the other is ethnically neither European nor Arab, and was born a Muslim — set a couple of preconditions. Their real names and countries of origin could not be published; as they put it, "Europe will do." They also wore masks during the interview, so they could not be recognized. "I still want to travel to my family in Europe," one said.
It was also strictly forbidden to name the town where the interview would take place. "You can mention somewhere in northern Sham," one of the men declared, a reference to Greater Syria — encompassing not only modern-day Syria but also Lebanon, Israel-Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq — that existed in the early Islamic period.
Getting to the location of the interview posed another problem. In a sign of how perilous Syria has become, al Qaeda-affiliated militants man a checkpoint slightly more than a mile outside the Atmeh refugee camp along the border with Turkey. And there were many more such checkpoints along the way to where the two European jihadists live. With kidnappings of journalists and aid workers by rebels spiking in recent months, locals all advised against the idea of driving deeper into the country. After long deliberations, we chose to stay in Atmeh and send a trustworthy Syrian middle-man on our behalf deeper inside the country. He carried our questionnaire, a camera, and conducted the interviews.
The meetings with the European jihadists occurred separately, on two separate days in two different locations. The interviews were conducted in English, as the fighters are not fluent in Arabic.
The phenomenon of European jihadists flowing into Syria is increasingly attracting the attention of Western security agencies, which fear what they will do when they return home. According to American and European intelligence officials speaking to the New York Times, more Westerners are currently fighting in Syria than in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, or Yemen: The estimates range from 600 to 1,000 fighters. Their primary motivation is religion — the vast majority are white converts to Islam or naturalized immigrants with a Muslim background.
The jihadists' religious extremism, military experience in Syria, and the ease with which they could travel around Europe and the United States make a potentially lethal cocktail. Matthew Olsen, the director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, recently told a conference that Syria has become "the predominant jihadist battlefield in the world," and raised fears that such jihadists could return "as part of really a global jihadist movement to Western Europe and, potentially, to the United States."
Abu Talal, a blond-haired, blue-eyed fighter sporting a black balaclava, is just the sort of religious warrior that keeps Western security officials up at night. He says that he came to Syria "to help the mujahideen [jihadists] against Bashar," but refuses to say how he arrived from Europe. However, he adds that he "will visit my family [in Europe] again and then return to Syria."
In the interview, Abu Talal, who carries a gun and sits in front of a black banner used by jihadist groups, says that he has joined the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria," — the al Qaeda affiliate in Iraq that is both fighting against the Assad regime and attempting to extend its "Islamic emirate" into Syria.
The ISIS, which is headed by Iraqi national Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is considered the most radical group in Syria. With bases in and around the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, the northern cities of Raqqa and Aleppo, and the northwestern Turkmen Mountains, it is an extension of the al Qaeda forces that battled U.S. and Iraqi government troops in Iraq during that country's civil war.
He claims that the relationship between the ISIS and the Free Syrian Army, an umbrella group of more mainstream Syrian rebel groups, is good. "They are mujahideen and we are mujahideen. We ask God to guide us both to fight Bashar."
But why do many around the world see foreign jihadists as terrorists? "That is funny," Abu Talal says, "because we don't kill innocent people like the forces of Bashar do. The whole world thinks sharia [Islamic law] is bad, but that is not true. We help people…. And we will bring the sharia here — no matter what."
The jihadists often stated their conviction that the United States will sooner or later get involved in Syria — not to topple the Assad regime, but to target them for death. Both believe that the United States will use drones against Syrian jihadists — just like what is happening in Pakistan or Yemen.
"I am sure the Americans will start using drones," says Abu Salman, the second European fighter, who wears a traditional Arabic shawl to hide his identity. "As soon as we get rid of the Assad regime they will send their weapons. But of course, we will fight them. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 'The infidels will fight you as they fought me.' But God willing, we will win this fight… [E]ven if the Americans attack, we will not retreat."
Abu Salman is something of a free agent in the Syrian jihad, moving fluidly between groups depending on who needs his services. "I am involved in electronics," he says. "I cooperate with any group who needs me here. I did not join one specific group because of the nature of my work, every group needs me."
But Abu Salman adds that he mostly works with al Qaeda affiliates such as Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS, or alternatively Ahrar al-Sham and Suqoor al-Sham, militias known for their strict interpretation of Islamic law. "They are the best fighters of Islam," he explains.
Abu Salman believes that foreign jihadists in Syria have gotten a bad rap: He says he agreed to give this interview to explain to the world what foreign fighters are doing in Syria. "It doesn't matter how long you speak of what you do," he says. "If you have a beard, if you do salaat [Muslim prayers] you are considered a terrorist. The outside world doesn't understand us. They don't have our mentality. They don't know what we want."
Unlike Abu Talal, Abu Salman is willing to explain how he came to Syria. "I came from the airport [in Turkey] and went illegally through the border from Turkey into Sham," he says. "Everybody is taking this road.
The journey, however, is starting to become more difficult for foreigners. "The road is starting to get cut," Abu Salman says. "You cannot enter into Sham anymore without a Syrian passport, there are many more checks."
Abu Salman agrees with his jihadist comrade that some elements of the Free Syrian Army are good "mujahideen" — but worries that the United States is funneling support to "bad" elements within the umbrella organization. "They [the United States] only give weapons to the worst groups; those who want democracy," he explains. "These groups operate inside the Free Syrian Army, but they even don't fight for democracy, they just steal money."
The presence of foreign jihadists is controversial among local supporters of the Syrian revolt. Foreign Islamists regularly flog or execute alleged regime supporters in Raqqa, while in Aleppo jihadists executed a Syrian youth they believed had committed blasphemy. Kidnappings of Syrians, foreign journalists, and aid workers by Islamists are on the rise. Just this week, Father Paolo Dall'Oglio, a well-known Jesuit priest who lived in Syria for three decades and was staunchly pro-revolution, disappeared in Raqqa.
Abu Salman knows how tenuous the jihadists' position is among the Syrian population: He is convinced that after the Assad regime's defeat, some Syrians will launch a second revolution against radical Islamist groups. "I feel this will happen," he says. "But it doesn't matter. Because the prophet peace be upon him, has said 'You will win this fight.'"
And after Abu Salman and his cohort topple Assad and crush more secular rebel groups, what then? What will become of Syria's sizeable Christian, Alawi, and Shiite minority populations?
"The minorities?" he answers. "They must just accept it. Those who do not accept it, they will be thrown out — or they can leave."

Sabathia's free agency could set up a big payday for Padres ace
Braves GM Frank Wren has said he will not trade top prospects such as Tommy Hanson, now considered by Baseball America as Atlanta's best advanced pitching prospect, by far. Twice in the last 10 days, three Padres scouts have watched Hanson turn in a strong game in the Arizona Fall League. The best young pitcher in the Atlanta rotation last season was Jair Jurrjens, a 22-year-old right-hander who went 13-10 with a 3.68 ERA in 31 starts.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals aren't players for Peavy.
Towers has said the Astros don't match up with the Padres in trade talks – a potential signal for some of Peavy's suitors to involve a third trade partner who has suitable young talent that could be rerouted to San Diego. Among the clubs that reputedly have good farm systems are the Athletics, Rangers and Rays.

Prophets of the Past is the first book to examine in depth how modern Jewish historians have interpreted Jewish history. Michael Brenner reveals that perhaps no other national or religious group has used their shared history for so many different ideological and political purposes as the Jews. He deftly traces the master narratives of Jewish history from the beginnings of the scholarly study of Jews and Judaism in nineteenth-century Germany; to eastern European approaches by Simon Dubnow, the interwar school of Polish-Jewish historians, and the short-lived efforts of Soviet-Jewish historians; to the work of British and American scholars such as Cecil Roth and Salo Baron; and to Zionist and post-Zionist interpretations of Jewish history. He also unravels the distortions of Jewish history writing, including antisemitic Nazi research into the "Jewish question," the Soviet portrayal of Jewish history as class struggle, and Orthodox Jewish interpretations of history as divinely inspired.
History proved to be a uniquely powerful weapon for modern Jewish scholars during a period when they had no nation or army to fight for their ideological and political objectives, whether the goal was Jewish emancipation, diasporic autonomy, or the creation of a Jewish state. As Brenner demonstrates in this illuminating and incisive book, these historians often found legitimacy for these struggles in the Jewish past.

The Commission informed that it received 205 complaints of human rights violations from women in 2009-10, 50 more than previous year. Thirty-five of the complaints were about abduction, rape and murder, 87 complained about exploitation, 12 about discrimination against women and six complaints pertained to dowry deaths.

Looks like the Earthtone King may have found his queen. Fresh off the release of braggadocious lead single So Enormous, P.SO returns to our pages with Find Out, a new single which finds him lyrically serenading the woman of his dreams. Over an upbeat, rock-infused instrumental by The Clubhouse, the indie duo who produced Theophilus London's Life of a Lover, the B.K. rhymesayer describes a girl who's like "Serena mixed with Latifah, mixed with Alicia," with a dash of Aretha for good measure. To top it all off, Clubhouse member Andrew Reid steps out from behind to boards to deliver a simple, yet catchy chorus. The Gateway to Greatness has yet to receive a drop date but, as always, Booth readers can keep their browsers locked for all the latest.

Maple Sugaring and Candy Making Demonstration/Cooking demonstrations
(Monday, August 19)
A delicious buffet breakfast is served in the Garden Room and includes both cold and hot selections, homemade granola, juice, fruit and coffee.
PRESENTATION: This morning's session is to include the art of maple sugaring and maple candy making. You'll meet the staff of the New England Maple Museum. Maple sugaring has been an early Spring tradition in Vermont ever since the Eastern Woodland Indians discovered that maple sap cooked over an open fire produces a sweet sugar. To make their sugar, the Indians would cut a slash in the maple tree and collect the sap as it dripped out. Logs were then hollowed out, and filled with the fresh sap. White-hot field stones were then added to cause the sap to boil. When the first European settlers arrived, the Indians traded maple sugar with them and eventually taught the settlers the secrets of the maple sugaring process. The early settlers added their technologies to the process as seen in this antique photograph. Other Europeans added their own technologies to the process. They bored holes in the maple trunks and inserted wooden or metal spouts. They used wooden buckets to catch the sap, and then carried the sweet water on shoulder yokes to the metal boiling kettles. Early settlers, like the Native Americans, saved their maple as crystallized sugar. Maple sugar became the colonists own sweetener ending their dependence on foreign sugar. Also, it was never tinctured with the sweat of the southern slave as was cane sugar before the civil war. Early in Vermont�s history, each family made their own maple sugar for personal consumption. The sugar house was now their destination where the invention of the evaporator gave more control to the sugar maker's boiling process. Today, plastic tubing transports the sap from the trees to gathering tanks. From there it is transported to the sugar house where it is transferred to a central storage tank to feed the evaporator which boils off most of the water, leaving sweet, thick maple syrup.
PRESENTATION: This morning we are joined by a local pastry chef from the Caf� Provence who will provide us with a baking demonstration. PRESENTATION: Inn keeper and chef Louis Pattis gives a demonstration featuring local ingredients. Louis and Sarah Pattis acquired the Inn in February of 1988. Louis is Austrian with a strong hotel background including being an award winning Austrian-trained Chef. Sarah is from England, she worked as an Occupational therapist, both in the States and abroad before becoming an Innkeeper. (She says the two jobs have many similarities!) They have four children, Mark, Anna, Nickolas and Rebecca. Mark is currently serving in the Military, Anna is working on the West Coast and Nick is working for the town of Brandon. Becca attends college and continues to work at the Inn
A chef's choice lunch is served at the inn which can include soups, sandwiches, pasta's or quiche.
PRESENTATION: This afternoon enjoy a hands on class with Chef Pattis that could include a knife demonstration that will include cutting techniques and more.
A wonderful three course dinner featuring locally grown and raised products is served in the Main Dining Room.
PRESENTATION: Join group leader James Dassatti who is the President of the Vermont Living History Association who will talk with us on early American History of the Lake Champlain Valley in an entertaining presentation.

Suggested Reading List
America's Founding Food: The Story of New England Cooking
Author: Keith Stavely, Kathleen Fitzgerald
Description: From baked beans to apple cider, from clam chowder to pumpkin pie, Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald's culinary history reveals the complex and colorful origins of New England foods and cookery. Featuring hosts of stories and recipes derived from generations of New Englanders of diverse backgrounds, America's Founding Food chronicles the region's cuisine, from the English settlers' first encounter with Indian corn in the early seventeenth century to the nostalgic marketing of New England dishes in the first half of the twentieth century. Focusing on the traditional foods of the region--including beans, pumpkins, seafood, meats, baked goods, and beverages such as cider and rum--the authors show how New Englanders procured, preserved, and prepared their sustaining dishes. Placing the New England culinary experience in the broader context of British and American history and culture, Stavely and Fitzgerald demonstrate the importance of New England's foods to the formation of American identity, while dispelling some of the myths arising from patriotic sentiment. At once a sharp assessment and a savory recollection, America's Founding Food sets out the rich story of the American dinner table and provides a new way to appreciate American history.
Good Maine Food: Ancient and Mordern New England Food and Drink
Author: Marjorie Mosser
Description: Old recipes, like old friends, are usually most dependable, observes noted author Kenneth Roberts in his pithy introduction to this classic recipe compendium put together by his niece, Marjorie Mosser, in the 1930s. The long career of this bible of Maine cookery has proved him right. With Robert's outspoken commentaries sprinkled throughout, excerpts from some of his best-selling books, and maxims from Maine kitchens, this old favorite is a must-own collection for any modern cook. Down East Books is proud to present this revamped edition-with a brand new foreword by food historian Sandra Oliver-as part of the all-new Best Maine Food cookbook series.
Maple Sugarin' In Vermont: A Sweet History
Author: Betty Ann Lockhart
Description: Come along for a trip through maple time in Vermont, from the 1600s to the mid-twentieth century. Betty Ann Lockhart introduces the origins of the 'Flavor of Vermont', the tools of the sugaring trade and the personalities who launched maple sugar to world fame. The Abenakis were discoverers of the sweet sap that flowed from Vermont's trees, and Thomas Jefferson was an early promoter of it. During the Civil War, maple sugar was cheered as the moral alternative to cane sugar- the latter having been produced by slave labor- and in subsequent wars, it was shipped to U.S. troops around the world. Enriched with maple-inspired songs, recipes and legends, Maple Sugarin' in Vermont illuminates not just the industry, but also the culture of maple sugar in the Green Mountain State.

Two persons have been arrested for allegedly duping people by posing as Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Sales Tax officers.
Acting on a tip-off, a Delhi Police Crime Branch team laid a trap near Rohini West metro station on Tuesday afternoon and arrested Kishan Lal (62) and Rajender Kumar (40).
The police claim to have worked out three cases of cheating with the arrests.
The two purportedly told the police that they along with their accomplice Ramesh duped a trader in Chandni Chowk of Rs.25,000 on May 9. The three stopped the trader near Shish Ganj Gurdwara posing as CBI officers and asked him to get his luggage searched. The three told the trader that they had information that he was carrying fake Indian currency. One of the accused then took out Rs.25,000 from the pocket of the trader, replaced it with a wad of papers cut in the size of notes and the trio tried to escape.
When the trader found that he had been cheated, he shouted for help. He along with some passers-by managed to catch Ramesh.
In February, the trio had allegedly cheated a U.P.-based businessman of Rs.12,000 posing as CBI officers. The victim had come to Karol Bagh in connection with his business. In March last, the three allegedly cheated a man of Rs.25,000 posing as Sales Tax officers.
Kishan Lal, a resident of Sahibabad, came to Delhi from Punjab three decades ago. Earlier, he worked at some private firm and then took to cheating. His son runs transport business.
Rajender, a resident of Naraina, came to Delhi from Rajasthan several years ago. He is a registered bad character of Sultanpuri. He is previously involved in nine criminal cases including murder, robbery, cheating and under the Arms Act.
Keywords: fake Indian currency, forgery, investigation

HoopsHype Nene rumors
Michael Lee: Nene (left calf) went through shootaround, offered thumbs up when asked if he'd be able to play vs PHI #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Almost a week after he limped out of the Palace of Auburn Hills with a strained left calf, Nene was back at practice, running the floor and taking set shots afterward. Nene's status for Wednesday's game against the surprising Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center remains unclear but the Brazilian big man hopes that he will be available. "All those things are going to be in the coach's hands and in the trainer's hands to decide if I got to go or not. I think I can help now. How? We'll see," Nene said. "I'm going to try, see how things are going. If I feel something sharp, I need to stop. That's what the doctor said. If I feel something sharp, I need to stop. But I feel okay after practice." Washington Post
Michael Lee: Randy Wittman said Trevor Booker will be available vs PHI but Nene will probably still be a GTD based on how his leg responds #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Chris Miller: Nene will not play tonight vs. Sixers left calf strain. #WizardsTalk@ # Twitter @cmillscsn
Last summer, Nene decided to stay away from basketball to let his body heal and received a negative backlash when Brazil went winless in the FIBA Americas tournament in Venezuela. "If people want to boo because of the national team and those things, they should boo me," Coach Randy Wittman said. "Because I really thought this was a summer that Nene needed to take off for his body. The summer before he played, he had plantar fasciitis, and played through it. His body needed a recovery. And when you play 100 games, alright, like we do and you get to a point in your career where your body breaks down a little bit, you've got to let it recover. That's what I wanted him to do. So if Brazil wants to be mad, don't be mad at Nene, be mad at me." Washington Post
Schmidt said it was their own doing, while mentioning other players from Brazil and other countries that play for their national team. Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson "Varejao, most of the time comes. [San Antonio Spurs forward] Tiago Splitter – fantastic. But Leandro and Nene. They have problems. They have big problems and I hate to say. I hate to say," Schmidt said. Nene "just come to the Olympics? Who doesn't want to play in the Olympics? Everyone! Everyone! [Manu] Ginobili goes every time [and Luis] Scola goes every time [for Argentina]. Tony Parker goes every time [for France]. Dirk Nowitzki goes every time [for Germany]. All the Dream Team in America. And why not ours? So…okay?" Washington Post
Michael Lee: Nene on boos: "The important thing is that I'm feeling very happy & I'm representing all of the Brazilian players playing abroad." #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Michael Lee: Nene on not playing for national team: "I don't have to defend myself because I didn't steal, I didn't kill & I didn't rob." #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Michael Lee: Nene continued: "Instead of celebrating this very special & unique moment, people are sticking to some very small things." #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Michael Lee: Oscar Schmidt on Nene: "Everybody knows what he's does. If you don't want to play for national team, don't talk about your country. Ever." Twitter @MrMichaelLee
"It's amazing," Nene said of the love he has received and given back since returning to his native Brazil. "You don't need to a lot. Simple gestures here, you can change people's day or a kid's life. In my way here, I just try to spend time with them as much as I can. Sign and take pictures. For me, that's nothing. That's my job, but that makes a huge impact on their life." Washington Post
But the relationship fractured for a brief period after both entered the NBA when Barbosa fired Michael Coyne, the agent who represented both players at the time. Nene stopped talking to Barbosa but later made amends after he eventually parted with Coyne as well. "You know as friends, you have up and down. We had that," Barbosa said. "But it didn't affect our relationship and we became close again and nothing is going to separate us again. He knows that. I love him. He loves me. This is a good thing." Washington Post
After practice, Nene grabbed a chair behind the Wizards' bench and Barbosa joined him for a lengthy conversation. "That's my brother," Nene said of Barbosa. "And it's always good to see him and I hope he can figure out. I wish the best for him and I hope he get healthy fast as possible, start practicing again in the NBA." Washington Post
Michael Lee: Nene no longer wears Adidas. Switched to Nike last summer after dealing with some foot troubles. Was it the shoes? We'll see #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Michael Lee: Nene: "Rio, everything is good here. Just be careful. Don't mix it up, woman for man, that's the only thing I can say, man." #wizards Twitter
Michael Lee: Nene on return to Brazil: "For sure it's going to be emotional, because nothing in my life came easy. It was always the hard way." #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee

CSI:NY picks up where we left off, with Shane Casey holding Danny and Lucy hostage; Lindsay kills Shane Casey, and five months later receives medal of honor for protecting her family. With the entire CSI team at the ceremony, Jo Danville, new CSI, enters the empty crime lab and nearly stumbles over a dead body--a young woman who had been stabbed to death. Our CSI's track where the victim was stabbed and I.D the victim as an intern working in the architectual firm on the floor below. The evidence presents a curious picture as the building's security system was tampered with and shut down for an hour the night of the murder, suggesting a planned attack, however, everything about the murder suggests it was spontaneous. The blood evidence at the scene gets a hit in CODIS and leads them to the head of the architectual firm, Theodore Westwick, who was attacked the same night as the murder several blocks from the building. The team tracks down the alleged attacker, Alex, and Jo gets him to admit that he was present at the time of the murder but didn't do it - Westwick did. Alex shutdown the security system to rob the firm that night and witnessed the murder in progress. Westwick saw Alex and ran him down, trying to kill him, but Alex fought him off. Westwick was having an affair with the victim and she got pregnant. When they met that night they argued because she wanted to keep the baby. He knew that would ruin his marriage and the fabulous life he built so he killed her in a fit of rage.
Even though it's only Jo's first day on the job, she manages to impress everyone on the team with her intelligence and skills. Lindsay is struggling to come to terms with shooting Casey and the turmoil her family has been put through.

Stasis is bugged apparently
I noticed a little tactic in PvP today that seems bugged. Stasis is supposed to be a "fragile hold" (break on damage), but it doesn't apply to rifle butt attacks for some reason. So it seems that the tactic is to stasis someone, beat on them with the rifle until they become exposed, then hit them with an exploit attack. Stasis should break on any damage, including being hit with the rifle.
