|NBA: New York Knicks at Cleveland Cavs Preview & Picks
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Friday, 02 November 2007 02:48
Tough Offseason
The New York Knicks ended the 2006-07 season with some optimism for a better future. Then came an ugly offseason that most would like to forget.
Seeking their first playoff berth in four seasons, the Knicks look to get off to a quick start and put a humiliating summer behind them when they open the season Friday at the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Oddsmakers from Bodog.com have made Cleveland -5.5 point spread favorites (NBA Odds) for todays game, the over/under has been set at 186.5 total points (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 55% of bets for this game have been placed on New York +5.5 (View NBA Bet Percentages).
In his first season as New York's head coach, Isiah Thomas led the Knicks to a 33-49 record in 2006-07 - a 10-win improvement from the previous season - and kept the team in the playoff race until the final few weeks.
New York pulled off a promising trade on draft night, picking up power forward Zach Randolph and swingman Fred Jones from Portland, but things then took a turn for the worst.
In early October, a jury ruled that Thomas had sexually harassed former team executive Anucha Browne Sanders. Thomas was accused during the trial of using profanity around women and making derogatory statements about white season ticket holders.
"Right now, what we can all agree on is that the best thing for the Knicks is to get on the court and win some basketball games," Madison Square Garden chairman James L. Dolan said in a statement.
New York, which hasn't won a postseason game since 2001, is trying to get back to the playoffs for the first time since being swept by New Jersey in 2004.
"I think it's definitely important,'' said guard Jamal Crawford, who averaged 17.6 points last season. "Our fans have been really, really patient and everybody in the organization's been patient, but it's time to really step up.''
In the frontcourt, the Knicks will be led by Randolph and Eddy Curry.
Randolph averaged a career-high 23.6 points and 10.1 rebounds last season with Portland.
Curry, meanwhile, achieved career highs of 19.5 points and 7 rebounds per game in his first year with New York.
New York was tied with Charlotte for the fourth-worst record in the Eastern Conference last season, but playing in the weaker of the two conferences, the Knicks are capable of making a leap up the standings.
"We're the underdogs right now,'' Randolph said. "We've got to work our way up, keep on getting better and don't worry about all those other teams. We've got to worry about ourselves.''
The Cavaliers (0-1) are the defending conference champions, but they hardly looked like it in Wednesday's season-opening 92-74 loss to Dallas at Quicken Loans Arena. It was their most lopsided home defeat since April 5, 2005.
"It's the first game, hopefully we can put it behind us,'' said Cleveland star LeBron James, who was held scoreless in the first half for the first time in his career. "We didn't play well - at all. It's kind of how we have been playing in the preseason. We didn't do anything right. We didn't play hard. We didn't execute.''
James, who carried the Cavs to the NBA finals before they were swept by San Antonio, finished with 10 points and made only 2 of 11 field-goal attempts in the opener.
"It's a marathon in this league,'' James said. "It's not the best impression you want to make, but it's not the last.''
The Knicks and Cavs split four meetings last season. New York guard Stephon Marbury was inconsistent, scoring 29 points while shooting 11-for-25 in the Knicks' wins, but managing only six points and shooting 2-for-13 in the losses.

Call him a workaholic if you want, but Darin Mouser's job as a horse trainer is much more than that.
It's a lifestyle.
Born and raised in London, Mouser grew up around horses, so it didn't surprise his family when he turned his father Max's hobby into a living and began harness racing at age 19.
Since then, he's spent nearly every day at the Madison County Fairgrounds, where he now operates Mouser Stables. Inside those dusty horse barns, Mouser, now 50, passes mornings and afternoon feeding, bathing and soothing and jogging seven horses around dirt tracks.
Most evenings year round, he and a few other men crowd into a truck shoulder-to-shoulder and make their way to Scioto Downs Casino and Racetrack in Lebanon to race each evening.
Mouser is one of several locals looking forward to returning to the home track on Sunday, when harness racing will take place at the Madison County Fairgrounds on opening day.
The race will begin at noon, as opposed to previous years' 1 p.m. start time.
The harness racing business is on the rise, said Gerald McHenry, speed superintendent at the fairgrounds. Unlike thoroughbred racing, drivers (not riders) sit on carts attached to the horse's back.
Harness racing used to take place at least three nights a week at the fair. In recent years, that has dwindled to just one evening. But Ohio racinos have breathed new enthusiasm — and money — back into the industry, McHenry said.
"It's definitely coming back," he said. "A lot of the horseman went out of state to Pennsylvania and Indiana, but Ohio's coming back. The purses are growing. It's going to be good."
About 20 drivers are expected to compete Sunday.
Mouser is hoping for a good-sized home crowd, similar to the county fairs from years ago. He said he likes training at Madison County Fairgrounds because the horses are more relaxed. The fact that it's just a few miles from home is an added plus, of course.
Before becoming a trainer full-time, Mouser spent more than 25 years as a driver himself. After graduating London High School in 1982, he lived in Chicago for a winter to work in the business. He opened the stable the next year.
Times weren't always good. For years the industry struggled. Mouser would take an odd job here and there to make ends meet. But, now a fifth-place standing pays out what a win used to several years ago.
"Racinos have changed everything, which we've been waiting on for years," he said. "For 10 to 12 years, it was hard to make a living."
Other than the financial constraints, the job is physically risky, as well.
In 1993, Mouser's leg was snapped in two during a wreck on the track. Although he jumped back in the saddle that time, another accident in 2008 turned out to be much more serious.
While racing at Scioto Downs, a couple horses fell down in front of him.
"You're in the wrong place at the wrong time. I got thrown and my landing wasn't good," he added with a laugh.
He broke his hip. Mouser underwent a hip replacement in 2011 and has been a trainer solely since.
The biggest misconception about the industry is that racing is cruel to the horses, he said. If those folks spent more time with the animals, they would know the horses love what they do.
"They can't wait to get to a race track. They're athletes and they're bred to be athletes," he said. "These horses live better than I do — trust me. I miss meals before they do."
Of the seven horses Mouser currently trains, one is his own. Good Connections is 12 years old and "spoiled rotten," he said.
The horses eat a sweet feed comprised of oats and molasses, as well as hay and lots of carrots. Carrots are supposed to be a special treat for a good race, but Mouser's an easy touch.
"Dad always said, 'Treat em' like you want to be treated,'" Mouser recalled. "And, I've always done that."

"Our presence remakes the past" -the Banner of Macragge
The Ultramarines are a chapter of Space Marines, probably the most famous and well-known (both within the Warhammer 40,000 universe and without). Games Workshop considers the Ultramarines their chapter of choice, and the Ultramarines represent the standard upon which most other Space Marine chapters are based. Why Games Workshop would want a Space Marine chapter whose symbol is a
toilet seat uspide down Omega is beyond us. Despite what canon has been trying to imply lately (see the intro to the CGI failmovie), the Ultramarines are not named so because they are 'ultra', as in, superior, 'marines'. Nope, they're called that because their (*cough*Homesector is ULTRAMAR) armour is ultramarine, which is a shade of blue. They have an easily recognizable blue-with-gold-trim colour scheme that's totally not like any other legion (technically that's only the second company but who ever heard of an ultramarine player not painting his army blue and gold) - the blue colouration, coupled with the small size of the minis, has lead them to be nicknamed "Smurfs" by some. A squad of Tactical Smurfs are the protagonists of the recently released 40k-based movie (coincidentally titled "Ultramarines").
The Primarch of the Ultramarines is Roboute Guilliman(Vanilla Ice), and it was he who wrote the (in?)famous Codex Astartes after the events of the Horus Heresy, prescribing each Space Marine chapter to a mere thousand warriors to ensure that no one man would ever command the loyalty of an entire Space Marine legion again. At least, that was the plan, but Roboute Guilliman himself never got to see it come to light, as he was mortally wounded by a poisonous attack from his bro, the Traitor Primarch Fulgrim, and he has been kept in stasis by the Ultramarines for thousands of years, where many claim that his wound is slowly healing.
Many, but not all, of the other Space Marine legions adopted the Codex and split up into multitudes of smaller chapters, and most Space Marine chapters today follow the practices found within it, although some like the Space Wolves and the Black Templars
use it as paper toilet have refrained from implementing it.
The Ultramarine's central concepts were that of a well drilled, immaculate army of warrior-monks who executed their duty with professionalism and competence. "By the book, no mistakes," was the Ultramarine way. In part this came because of their extensive study and practice of the Codex Astartes, which covered a very broad range of battlefield situations and doctrine to live by. Thanks to each and every one of them training and living by it, their companies operated like a smoothly functioning combat machine with every unit functionally interlocking with every other. However, as much as this by-the-book discipline was their strength, it was also their weakness, since the few situations that the Codex Astartes did not prepare them for tended to catch them flat-footed, lacking the flexibility to properly respond. The initial Tyranid invasion was one such situation, where they got their asses handed to them on a sil- *BLAM* which provoked the development of the Tyrannic War Veterans.
Because they are the poster-boys for Space Marines, they are perhaps the most famous Chapter in the general 40k fandom, but are widely hated by many denizens of /tg/. This may initially have been due to their popularity - the Space Marines in general suffer something of a backlash from fa/tg/uys because of their overwhelming popularity with the annoying young children that infest the hobby, and the Ultramarines are the most popular of them all - but of recent editions the blatant favouritism displayed by certain Games Workshop writers towards the Chapter have earned them considerable ire, especially from fans of other Space Marine chapters that get slagged off in the process. This is mainly the fault of Matthew Ward's 5th edition Space Marine Codex, which explicitly claimed that the Ultramarines were superior to all other Space Marines (In 2nd edition it was explicitly stated.) and was not helped by Ward's own poor fluff-writing skills (see Quotes below). However, more recent fluff has served to bring the Smurfs back to their "Space Roman" roots, making them far less objectionable than they were in the past, in fact, thanks to Forgeworld they are getting some lovely Heresy Era models, *SPQR-intensifies*.
First Edition History[edit]
|This article or section is about something oldschool - and awesome.
Make sure your rose-tinted glasses are on nice and tight, and prepare for a lovely walk down nostalgia lane.
Back in the first edition of Warhammer 40,000, in an article co-written by Rick Priestley. The XIIIth Legion were actually traitors and were banished to the Eye of Terror along with the other traitor legions. The modern day 40k Ultramarines were established on new years day 001.M32, which would make them a Third Founding chapter. They received all of the gene-"sperm" & implants, rituals and paraphernalia of the original legion.
Not only that, they only received lordship over the world of Macragge AFTER the First Tyrannic War. And though they did have different names for all of their company captains and command staff, they were/are still commanded by a man named Marneus Calgar.
The implications of this would be startling if we use the "everything is canon, but not necessarily true" stance that GW has adopted when regarding fluff inconsistencies. Hinting that Guilliman's marines were heretics and traitors and were eventually banished from the Imperium.
However, attempting to reconcile this old origin story with "modern" Ultramarines is extremely difficult, we can only coherently insert it into the current state of play if we assume there is a second chapter out there called the "Ultra-Marines" with a chapter master and homeworld of the same name and the same level of involvement with the Tyrannic Wars. Though what completely knocks this old fluff out is that it also has possession of the body of Roboute Guilliman so it has to be a retcon though it still opens the door to conspiracy theories or that Marneus Calgar is in command of multiple Chapters
Notable Members[edit]
- Marneus Calgar, the current Chapter Master of the Ultramarines. His accomplishments include being thoroughly ripped apart by the Swarmlord (by that we mean all his limbs, a large portion of his body and his eye), single handedly holding off an Ork Waaagh! for 9 days all by himself and killing a Daemon Prince with only a squad of Terminators by stabbing him with a
warp-touched daggerAn Anathame shard named "The Shard of Erebus". However, his crowning moment is his defeat of an Eldar Avatar of Khaine in 1 vs 1, hand-to-hand combat, which is typically killed by the same effort it takes to kill a Khornate Bloodthirster - never mind that the thing is made of molten metal and over three times his size. He also had a rematch with the Swarmlord and won.
- Severus Agemman, captain of the Ultramarines First Company. He was Captain of the Second Company, and Sicarius commanding officer before being promoted after the First Tyrannic War. There isn't much fluff about him besides being overshadowed by his former subordinate Sicarius. As first Company Captain he's Calgar's appointed successor, however much of the chapter thinks it will be Sicarius instead of him. Agemman is aware of this possibility and isn't very happy about it.
- Cato Sicarius, the captain of the Ultramarines Second Company, is kind of a glory hog, but he's arguably earned his right to be a braggart through his skill at arms.
- Uriel Ventris is the captain of the Ultramarines Fourth Company and the main character of Graham McNeil's Ultramarines novel series. Notable for destroying the Daemonculaba.
- Ortan Cassius, a chaplain of the Ultramarines, is one of the oldest Space Marines alive and not yet placed in a Dreadnought. The Tyrannic War Veterans were his idea.
- Varro Tigurius, the Ultramarine's Chief Librarian, has enough psychic prowess to make psychic contact with the Hive Mind without going bonkers in the process.
- Torias Telion (aka; Sean Connery made Grimdark) is an Ultramarine Scout Sergeant. A skilled sniper, other chapters have borrowed him to train their scouts occasionally. He also has an impressive mustache.
- Captain Titus is a Smurf Captain of the who the fuck knows company (if the trim of his pauldrons are accurate, he's Captain of the 2nd Company). He gained prominence (will gain prominence?) on the forge world of Graia, trying to keep a whole Waaagh! from stealing all the bitz for themselves while keeping a probably radical Inquisitor happy. Also there's a portal to the warp letting out Daemons and Chaos Marines to go on a jolly old pub crawl. He is also one of the few Ultramarines who clearly states that the Codex Astartes is not meant to be a mental straightjacket. Thus, he is awesome.
- Chaplain Varnus, an Ultramarines Chaplain dispatched to Lorn V. For perhaps the first instance in recorded time, he is a Space Marine who actually
bows to the better Imperial Guard strategyrespects the Imperial Guard and couldn't ask for a better force (barring his own company).
"Chapters [not descended from Guilliman's geneseed] are disciples who owe their genetic inheritance to another Primarch, but follow the Codex Astartes as keenly as their divergent heritage allows. While primarily composed of successor Chapters, this group also includes several Chapters of the First Founding - notably the Imperial Fists, White Scars and the Raven Guard.
These chapters can never be Ultramarines, for their gene-seed is not that of Roboute Guilliman. Nevertheless, they will ever aspire to the standards and teachings of the great Primarch.Fucking Matt Ward...
[Chapters who do not emulate the Ultramarines] are aberrants; chapters who, through quirk of gene-seed, mutation or stubbornness, eschew the Codex Astartes in favor of other structural and combat doctrines. Some, such as the Blood Angels and their successors, strive to be worthy of Guilliman's legacy, but their recalcitrant gene-seed drives them ever further from it. Others, such as the Space Wolves and the Black Templars, remain stubbornly independent, looking to their own founder's ways of war and caring little of how they fare in the eyes of others. These aberrant Chapters were always few in number and their presence diminishes with each passing decade, for their gene-seed is no longer the source of fresh Chapters."
- Matt Ward, Ultramarines player, codex writer, Codex: Space Marines, 5th Edition, p. 25.
"The Ultramarines are undoubtedly the best Space Marines ever. Yes, really! Thanks to the heritage of Guilliman and their myriad heroic deeds, the Ultramarines are the exemplars of the Space Marines. With a few fringe exceptions who have severe mutations [Blood Angels] or stolid stubbornness [Space Wolves and Dark Angels] all Space Marine Chapters want to be like the Ultramarines and recognize Marneus Calgar as their spiritual liege."
- Matt Ward, Ultramarines player, codex writer, in the White Dwarf interview celebrating the release of Codex: Space Marines.
"But your teachings…"
"Are yet flawed," said Guilliman. "No one, not even one such as I, can anticipate every possible outcome of battle. My words are not some holy writ that must be obeyed. There must always be room for personal initiative on the battlefield. You and I both know how one spark of heroism can turn the tide of battle. That knowledge and personal experience can only be earned in blood, and the leader in the field must always be the ultimate arbiter of what course of action should be followed."
- Roboute Guilliman, making a point that his successors would quickly forget about.

Two opinion-leaders behind the development and execution of the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) have asked whether data from that trial and from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer (PLCO) screening trial have "resolved the controversy" about the need for mass, population-based "screening" for prostate cancer.
The article is written by Zhu, Roobol, and Schröder. Drs Roobol and Schröder are among the critical participants who helped to develop, implement, and interpret the results of the ERSPC trial in Europe. It is a little odd to see this article appearing in the less than widely-read journal Current Opinions in Supportive and Palliative Care, but maybe there's an explanation for that too.
In this opinion piece, the authors make a series of initial points, as follows:
Given these initial points, the authors then make the following very specific statements and recommendations, based exclusively on the results of the ERSPC study:
They then make the following addition points:
It is easy to see what you want to believe in the words of others, but The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink finds it gratifying that Drs. Roobol and Schröder certainly appear to be endorsing a position taken by Prostate Cancer International and by Americas Prostate Cancer Organizations: that the critically important issue is the early detection of men with clinically significant forms of prostate cancer (i.e., the ones that present the highest risk for progressive and/or lethal disease) as opposed to the identification of every man with a prostate cancer cell in his biopsy specimen.
What they also appear to be saying is that our current tests and protocols may not good enough to justify mass, population-based screening for prostate cancer, and this is a point that The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink also agrees with. In saying this, we are not saying that people should stop PSA testing or that use of the PSA test is a bad idea. What we are saying is that we still need to do much, much better and we think that's what Zhu et al. are also suggesting in their article.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 21, 2013
Disregarding the dire fears of many over the past year, 2012 turned out not to be quite the hostile waters for job creation that many supposed it would be. December's Economic Situation Report and reaction seemed to epitomize and summarize the entire year fairly well. Job creation was well above what was expected with employment up by 155,000 in December. Healthcare positions accounted for almost a third of those jobs; and overall, 2012 closed out having 338,000 new positions opened up in just the medical field alone. (bls.gov, 1/4/2013)
Also, in a new report on Labor Turnover and Openings released by the Bureau on Thursday, as of November (which is the latest comparative report) there were nearly a half a million more new jobs open and available to be filled than there were last year. (bls.gov, 1/10/2013)
"These are three reports from different angles; yet, they are showing a very well rounded picture of what the economy is doing right now. Having varied sources is important as it keeps you from focusing too much on a single element. There are going to be seasonal fluctuations. However, when we have a several perspectives we can look at, then study them over a period of time and see that they are all moving in a positive direction. That's why we can feel like we're standing on solid ground when we say that the job situation is stabilizing and that the economy is improving," says Del Johnston, Manager of Client Relations at MedZilla.com.
An interesting study was done recently which set out to understand the economic relationship between the medical schools and teaching hospitals of the U.S. and their total financial impact on the nation.

The Great Bus Mystery
By RICHARD DAWKINS - THE ATHEIST'S GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS

The Great Bus Mystery
Richard Dawkins
I was hoofing it down Regent Street, admiring the Christmas decorations, when I saw the bus. One of those bendy buses that mayors keep threatening with the old heave-ho. As it drove by, I looked up and got the message square in the monocle. You could have knocked me down with the proverbial. Another of the blighters nearly did knock me down as I set a course for the Dregs Club, where it was my purpose to inhale a festive snifter, and I saw the same thing on the side. There are some pretty deep thinkers to be found at the Dregs as my regular readers know, but none of them could make a dent on the vexed question of the buses when I bowled it their way. Not even Swotty Postlethwaite, the club's tame intellectual. So I decided to put my trust in a higher power.
"Jarvis", I sang out, as I latchkeyed self into the old headquarters, shedding hat and stick on my way through the hall to consult the oracle. "I say Jarvis, what about these buses?"
"You know, Jarvis, the buses, the 'What is this that roareth thus?' brigade, the bendy buses, the conveyances with the kink amidships. What's going on, Jarvis? What price the bendy bus campaign?"
"Well sir, I understand that, while flexibility is often considered a virtue, these particular omnibuses have not given uniform satisfaction. Mayor Johnson . . ."
"Never mind Mayor Johnson, Jarvis. Consign Boris to the back burner and bend the bean to the buses. I'm not referring to their bendiness per se, if that is the right expression."
"Perfectly correct, sir. The Latin phrase might be literally construed . . ."
"That'll do for the Latin phrase Jarvis. Never mind their bendiness. Fix the attention on the slogan on the side. The orange and pink apparition that flashes by before you have a chance to read it properly. Something like 'There's no bally God, so put a sock in it and have a gargle with the lads.' That was the gist of it, anyway, although I may have foozled the fine print."
"Oh yes sir, I am familiar with the admonition: 'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
"That's the baby, Jarvis. Probably no God. What's it all about? Isn't there a God, Jarvis?"
"Well, sir, some would say it depends upon what you mean. All things which follow from the absolute nature of any attribute of God must always exist and be infinite, or, in other words, are eternal and infinite through the said attribute. Spinoza."
"Thank you Jarvis, I don't mind if I do. Not one I've heard of, but anything from your shaker, Jarvis, always hits the s. and reaches the parts other cocktails can't. I'll have a large Spinoza, shaken not stirred."
"No sir, my allusion was to the philosopher Spinoza, the father of pantheism, although some prefer to speak of panentheism."
"Oh that Spinoza, yes, I remember he was a friend of yours. Seen much of him lately?"
"No sir, I was not present in the seventeenth century. Spinoza was a great favourite of Einstein, sir."
"Einstein, Jarvis? You mean the one with the hair and no socks?"
"Yes, sir, arguably the greatest physicist of all time."
"Well, Jarvis, you can't do better than that. Did Einstein believe in God?"
"Not in the conventional sense of a personal God, sir, he was most emphatic on the point. Einstein believed in Spinoza's God, who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."
"Gosh Jarvis, bit of a googly there, but I think I get your drift. God's just another word for the great outdoors, so we're wasting our time lobbing prayers and worship in his general direction, what?"
"Precisely, sir."
"If, indeed, he has a general direction", I added moodily, for I can spot a deep paradox as well as the next man, ask anyone at the Dregs. "But Jarvis", I resumed, struck by a disturbing thought. "Does this mean I was also wasting my time when I won that prize for scripture knowledge at school? The one and only time I elicited so much as a murmur of praise from that prince of stinkers, the Rev Aubrey Upcock? The high spot of my academic career, and it turns out to have been a dud, a washout, scrapped at the starting gate?"
"Not entirely, sir. Parts of holy writ have great poetic merit, especially in the English translation known as the King James, or Authorized version of 1611. The cadences of the Book of Ecclesiastes and some of the prophets have seldom been surpassed, sir."
"You've said a mouthful there, Jarvis. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher. Who was the preacher, by the way, Jarvis?"
"That is not known, sir, but informed opinion agrees that he was wise. Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth. He also evinced a haunting melancholy, sir. When the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets. The New Testament too, sir, is not without its admirers. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son . . ."
"Funny you should mention that, Jarvis. The passage was the very one I raised with the Rev Aubrey, and it provoked a goodish bit of throat-clearing and shuffling of the trotters."
"Indeed, sir. What was the precise nature of the late headmaster's discomfort?"
"All that stuff about dying for our sins, redemption and atonement, Jarvis. All that 'and with his stripes we are healed' carry-on. Being, in a modest way, no stranger to stripes admininistered by old Upcock, I put it to him straight. 'When I've performed some misdemeanour ' – or malfeasance, Jarvis?"
"Either might be preferred, sir, depending on the gravity of the offence."
"So, as I was saying, when I was caught perpetrating some malfeasance or misdemeanour, I expected the swift retribution to land fairly and squarely on the Woofter trouser seat, not some other poor sap's innocent derrière if you get my meaning, Jarvis?"
"Certainly, sir. The principle of the scapegoat has always been of dubious ethical and jurisprudential validity. Modern penal theory casts doubt on the very idea of retribution, even where it is the malefactor himself who is punished. It is correspondingly harder to justify vicarious punishment of an innocent substitute. I am pleased to hear that you received proper chastisement, sir."
"Quite, Jarvis."
"I am so sorry sir, I did not intend . . ."
"Enough, Jarvis. This is not dudgeon. Umbrage has not been taken. We Woofters know when to move swiftly on. There's more, Jarvis. I hadn't finished my train of thought. Where was I?"
"Your disquisition had just touched upon the injustice of vicarious punishment, sir."
"Yes, Jarvis, you put it very well. Injustice is right. Injustice hits the coconut with a crack that resounds around the shires. And it gets worse. Now, follow me like a puma here, Jarvis. Jesus was God, am I right?"
"According to the Trinitarian doctrine promulgated by the early Church Fathers, sir, Jesus was the second person of the Triune God."
"Just as I thought, Jarvis. So God – the same God who made the world and was kitted out with enough nous to dive in and leave Einstein gasping at the shallow end, God the all-powerful and all-knowing creator of everything that opens and shuts, this paragon above the collarbone, this fount of wisdom and power – couldn't think of a better way to forgive our sins than to turn himself over to the gendarmerie and have himself served up on toast. Jarvis, answer me this. If God wanted to forgive us, why didn't he just forgive us? Why the torture, Jarvis? Whence the whips and scorpions, the nails and the agony? Why not just forgive us? Try that on your Victrola, Jarvis."
"Really sir, you surpass yourself. That is most eloquently put. And if I might take the liberty, sir, you could even have gone further. According to many highly esteemed passages of traditional theological writing, the primary sin for which Jesus was atoning was the Original Sin of Adam."
"Dash it, Jarvis, you're right. I remember making the point with some vim and élan. In fact, I rather think that may have been what tipped the scales in my favour and handed me the jackpot in that scripture knowledge fixture. But do go on, Jarvis, you interest me strangely. What was Adam's sin? Something pretty fruity, I imagine. Something calculated to shake hell's foundations?"
"Tradition has it that he was apprehended eating an apple, sir."
"Scrumping, Jarvis? That was it? That was the sin that Jesus had to redeem – or atone according to choice? I've heard of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but a crucifixion for a scrumping? Jarvis you've been at the cooking sherry. You are not serious, of course?"
"Genesis does not specify the precise species of the purloined comestible, sir, but tradition has long held it to have been an apple. The point is academic, however, since modern science tells us that Adam did not in fact exist, and therefore was presumably in no position to sin."
"Jarvis, this takes the chocolate digestive, not to say the mottled oyster. It was bad enough that Jesus was tortured to atone for the sins of lots of other fellows. It got worse when you told me it was only one other fellow. It got worse still when that one fellow's sin turned out to be nothing worse than half-inching a D'Arcy Spice. And now you tell me the blighter never existed in the first place. Jarvis, I am not known for my size in hats, but even I can see that this is completely doolally."
"I would not have ventured to use the epithet myself, sir, but there is much in what you say. Perhaps in mitigation I should mention that modern theologians regard the story of Adam, and his sin, as symbolic rather than literal."
"Symbolic, Jarvis? Symbolic? But the whips weren't symbolic. The nails in the cross weren't symbolic. If, Jarvis, when I was bending over that chair in the Rev Aubrey's study, I had protested that my misdemeanour, or malfeasance if you prefer, had been merely symbolic, what do you think he would have said?"
"I can readily imagine that a pedagogue of his experience would have treated such a defensive plea with a generous measure of scepticism, sir."
"Indeed you are right, Jarvis, Upcock was a tough bimbo. I can still feel the twinges in damp weather. But perhaps I didn't quite skewer the point, or nub, in re the symbolism?"
"Well, sir, some might consider you a trifle hasty in your judgment. A theologian would probably aver that Adam's symbolic sin was not so very negligible, since what it symbolised was all the sins of mankind, including those yet to be committed."
"Jarvis, this is pure apple sauce. 'Yet to be committed?' Let me ask you to cast your mind back, yet again Jarvis, to that doom-laden scene in the beak's study. Suppose I had said, from my vantage point doubled up over the armchair, 'Headmaster, when you have administered the statutory six of the juiciest, may I respectfully request another six in consideration of all the other misdemeanours, or peccadilloes, which I may or may not decide to commit at any time into the indefinite future. Oh, and make that all future misdemeanours committed not just by me but by any of my pals.' Jarvis, it doesn't add up. It doesn't float the boat or ring the bell."
"I hope you will not take it as a liberty, sir, if I say that I am inclined to agree with you. And now, if you will excuse me, sir, I would like to resume decorating the room with holly and mistletoe, in preparation for the annual yuletide festivities."
"Decorate if you insist, Jarvis, but I must say I hardly see the point any more. I expect the next thing you'll tell me is that Jesus wasn't really born in Bethlehem, and there never was a stable or shepherds or wise men following a star in the East."
"Oh no sir, informed scholars from the nineteenth century onwards have dismissed those as legends, often invented to fulfill Old Testament prophecies. Charming legends but without historical verisimilitude."
"I feared as much. Well, come on Jarvis, out with it. Do you believe in God?"
"No sir. Oh, I should have mentioned it before sir, but Mrs Gregstead telephoned."
I paled beneath the t. "Aunt Augusta? She isn't coming here?"
"She did intimate some such intention, sir. I gathered that she proposes to prevail upon you to accompany her to church on Christmas day. She took the view that it might improve you, although she expressed a doubt that anything could. I rather fancy that is her footstep on the stairs now. If I might make the suggestion, sir . . ."
"Anything, Jarvis, and be quick about it."
"I have unlocked the fire escape door in readiness, sir."
"Jarvis, you were wrong. There is a God."
"Thank you very much, sir. I endeavour to give satisfaction."

New iPod Classic making strange noises, issue unresolved with Apple Tech Support
Hello all.
I got a new iPod Classic in late June. After I'd had it a few weeks, I noticed it making a strange noise as I move around in the menus. It makes a faint clicking noise, then soft, high-pitched "peeeeeeeew" sound that doesn't last too long.
I've found that I can reliably recreate the sound by navigating to a song, then pressing and holding the menu button to go back to the main menu. Almost every time, it makes the sound. It might be the hard drive "winding down" or something (that's kinda what it sounds like), but I'm no expert.
It gets better. I talked to an Apple Support rep about the problem the day I noticed it. I did the restore process, updated software; the usual troubleshooting steps. As soon as I was done I heard the noise again, told the Apple rep, and I ended up sending the iPod in for repair. After all, it's brand new. Well, I got the same iPod back a week later with a letter describing how the problem "could not be reproduced" and how the product "meets Apple standards." Well, I pulled the iPod out of the box and sure enough it was still making the noise. It seems to function fine, but it's brand new, and I'm afraid the issue might be the start of a hard drive failure or similar issue.
Any thoughts?

my Name is not John and no i'm no Apple Genius but i'm here to solve your problem anyways
This issue appears with the slim 160GB iPod classics released in 2009, i have not had this sound appear on the 80GB 2007 model or the 120GB 2008 model. it is indeed the hard drive spinning down, so it is nothing to worry about - although you will hear it a lot when you listen to songs in higher bitrates as the iPod classic only has 64MB of RAM which is used for the OS and caching of songs.
Enjoy your iPod with no regrets
best wishes from Apple DontCare!

Thank you for the help. I'm glad to hear that it's nothing to worry about. I still think it's a bit odd to be able to actually hear that sound, but I can live with it.
I'm not doubting you in any way, but I'm just curious: how did you know that?
|Jul 31, 2011, 05:57 PM
Made my ACMT certification last year; since i'm into Mac hardware i sometimes do "unauthorized" repairs on iPods and iPhones. so i got a broad variety of components to test lying around here. i connected a 160GB HDD to my MacBook and transferred some files. after the dialog closed, the drive was immediately shut down to save power. i guess it's just firmware, but it feels better not walking the streets with an iPod that risks a head crash
best regards!

[BUG] VMware Workstation 7.1.2 does not work with enabled 3D when using NVIDIA beta
1 Attachment(s)
Reposting from the Arch Linux forums, since I really don't want to type it out again :)
Just spent nearly a full day tearing my hair out only to discover the root cause of this problem, so I'm posting this for anyone else who is having trouble smile
If you use the (currently) beta version of the NVIDIA driver, 260.19.06, VMware Workstation may fail to start VMs with a cryptic error about not finding a "peer process". Googling reveals this is an extremely generic error that many people have had before.
I stumbled across an old post on these forums from 2009, where the user changed a variable in the VMX file that fixed the problem. Turns out it's the one that enables 3D in the VM. This also fixed my problem, so at least I had something to go on.
Using the 256.* driver fixed the problem for me (though sadly this re-introduces the bug where text rendering is horrible on X.Org server 1.9.0). IMO the culprit is likely the fact that a lot of headers are no longer in the 260.* package, but opencl-headers at least didn't fix the problem.
Hope someone finds this useful!
Attached is the bug report gzip, but I ran it when using the latest official driver (which works with VMware), since I forgot to when using the beta.
Re: [BUG] VMware Workstation 7.1.2 does not work with enabled 3D when using NVIDIA be
Wow, cheers! I have the exact same problem. Will try it when I get a chance :) :cool:

Energized Accounting
by Bill Kennedy on printer friendly
by Bill Kennedy, CA.IT, PMP - With over 25 years of accounting experience, Bill has a varied background in accounting management and accounting systems implementation, with a focus on the charitable sector. He is also an experienced volunteer board member and fundraiser.
Latest posts
Accounting can be lonely. So much of what we do is by ourselves. I was at a the finance committee meeting of a charity last week. We were discussing how much money the charity needs to have on hand as a contingency fund. We decided that three month's worth of expenses was a realistic, practical amount. After the discussion, the Treasurer thanked us. He said he and the other management staff had wrestled with the question, but he felt better having the chance to work with other accountants.
Reading all the resumes was depressing. We're hiring a new manager and I was going through a stack of them with the human resources consultant. The resumes looked remarkably similar and there wasn't a decent cover letter in the pile. "We should have required applicants to have good communication skills," I joked to the consultant. "We did," he replied.
Karen was the accountant for a client of mine. She had twenty years of experience, starting as the receptionist and working her way up to become an indispensable part of the team. She was quiet and dependable, keeping the invoicing and payroll systems going through changes in legislation, system problems and people's comings and goings. That is, unless you were trying to get away with anything.
Here's the official patron saint of accounting, Saint Matthew: "The patron saint of accountants, bankers, bookkeepers, security guards and tax collectors is Saint Matthew of Apostle fame, and he also was the author of one of the Gospels. Before becoming an Apostle, however, he started out as a Jewish tax collector at Capernaum. Little is known about him, outside the seven references he has in the Gospels. In medieval art, Saint Matthew is represented under the symbol of a winged man, carrying in his hand a lance as a characteristic emblem - his artistic calling card if you will. He is one of the originals in the pantheon of patron saints." Okay, that's the official line. My nominee for the patron saint of accounting would be
My son is in the throws of selecting a university (no, he has no intention of studying accounting!) We are doing the usual rounds of visits to campuses, going to the university fair and my son is attending the events sponsored by the colleges at his school. This morning he was chuckling at the lame marketing slogans employed by the universities.
Late last night I was driving home from work, yeah I know it was Saturday - it's budget time, enough said - and I passed by a building where I used to work. There was a light on in one room and I realized it was my old office.
Where I live, in order to become a Chartered Accountant (the Canadian equivalent of a CPA), you need the following:
Small companies are nimble and respond quickly to their customers' needs. Big companies can take on large projects and provide a wide range of products. But what happens when a big company downsizes to become a small company? Does it regain its nimbleness or does it end up as the worst of both worlds?
Yes, yes, I know. ALL of the travel tips tell you to travel light. Pack one bag. Make it small enough to be carry on. That way you can take your laptop and your suitcase on the plane with you. They don't get lost. You don't have to wait to get your luggage at your destination. You can just waltz through to get to the front of the taxi / rental car line. I used to be like that too.
With the pending retirement of the Baby boom generation, we are about to lose a lot of hard won experience. Many of the Boomers are retiring early. They have the money they need. Why stay in the daily grind if you don't need to? But let's not write them off too quickly. We need to find ways to use their knowledge to help the next generation.

Media Advisory: Stanford Hosts Conference Encouraging Latinos to Go to Medical School.
The theme of this year's gathering is "Creating leadership: Striving to improve Latino health care." While Latinos now make up nearly 40 percent of California's population, only 4 percent of physicians are of Latino descent, according to the LMSA. "Teaching Latinos at all different levels how to become leaders will go a long way toward improving health care," said Geoff Krampitz, one of the conference coordinators and a fourth-year medical student at Stanford.
Ronald Garcia, PhD, senior lecturer and assistant dean for minority student affairs at Stanford, noted that many potential Latino medical school applicants do not have the same educational opportunities as non-minorities, don't understand how to navigate admissions systems or are put off by high tuition fees. "It's a very, very powerful insight and belief for someone to get it into their head that they can do this, and to hear what other medical students who might have similar backgrounds have gone through," said Garcia, who will be one of the speakers on Friday. "I want them to walk away and say, 'I can be a doctor.' In the absence of the conference, where would they get such encouragement?"
Friday's seminars are geared toward high school and undergraduate students and will present various professional medical opportunities and advise potential candidates on how to get into medical school. Saturday's focus will be on access to health care, community health and encouraging Latino leadership in medicine. Speakers include Gabriel Garcia, MD, associate dean for medical school admissions at Stanford, and George Flores, MD, MPH, senior officer of the Disparities in Health program at the California Endowment, a private, statewide health foundation in San Francisco.

Speaking to reporters Monday at the White House, Press Secretary Jay Carney couldn't directly say whether people who have "signed up" for Obamacare will actually have health insurance starting on January 1.
"We're telling consumers if they're not sure if they're enrolled they should call the insurer directly," Carney said.
Millions of Americans have lost their health insurance thanks to Obamacare and have been unable to successfully sign up for another plan. Five-million Americans have lost their health insurance plans while only 100,000 people have either signed up for Obamacare or have put a plan in their shopping cart on Healthcare.gov or through state-based exchanges.
The White House is touting an improved website, but insurers are reporting that data and personal information from Obamacare enrollees is being jumbled before it gets to them and therefore, people who have signed up, don't necessarily have health insurance coverage.
When pressed on the White House not meeting the November 30 deadline for the website to be completely fixed, Carney referred to the deadline as a simple stepping stone for the overall Obamacare rollout process.
"This was a marker along the road about the progress we needed to make," Carney said. "We said it wouldn't happen all at once...We're not done with the work that needs to be done on that website but I think we've passed an important milestone in getting in to work for the vast majority of users."
As of today, Healthcare.gov can handle 50,000 users at a time on the site. In the age of Amazon and Facebook, that's hardly a success. Today is Cyber Monday, which means Amazon will process orders for more than 13 million items.
"The end game is not the most effective website we can build," Carney said. "We are confident that we've achieved significant improvement and functionality in the website...We never said there wouldn't be any problems moving forward or an error website."
Carney also blamed Republicans for Obamacare delays.

Empty Netter Assists - 07-03-11
-"If I hurt somebody, I apologize." - You-know-who.
-You-know-who also spoke to Czech media yesterday. Here is a very roughly translated article from the Czech Republic. You-know-who said he chose the Flyers for a few non-money related matters such as:
-Travel. The Flyers, according to general manager Paul Holmgren, have the shortest amount of travel in the NHL next season. Additionally, Jagr said one reason he didn't choose the Red Wings was because of the brutal traveling that team must endure in the Western Conference.
-Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. Jagr said he was happy the Flyers had traded the star forwards away because the team doesn't have a "clear hierarchy."
-Sidney Crosby. This is the roughly translated quote from Jagr: "And Pittsburgh coach told me that Crosby likes speed, fast players. So I figured, with me beside him, power does not count. "
-Mike Rupp (right) said one of the reasons he opted not to re-sign with the Penguins and instead joined the Rangers was because the Penguins only offered him a two-year contract. New York gave him a three-year deal.
Atlantic Division
-"I think it's going to be a challenge, for sure. It'll be different. I haven't experienced it before. If you want to be a good player, it's something you should relish. What better place than Madison Square Garden? I'm looking at it as a great experience. I'm at the point in my career where I want to win again, it's been too long." - Forward Brad Richards on joining the Rangers.
-The Rangers acquired forward Andreas Thuresson from the Predators in exchange for forward Brodie DuPont. Thuresson played in three NHL games last season and did not record a point. Dupont appeared in on NHL game last season and failed to score a point.
Northeast Division
-The Maple Leafs signed former Sabres forward Tim Connolly (right) to a two-year contract worth a total of $9.5 million. He will have a salary cap hit of $4.25 million. In 68 games last season, he scored 42 points (13 goals, 29 assists).
-EN Says: The Maple Leafs appeared to put all their eggs in one basket on Friday by pursuing Brad Richards. Richards chose the Rangers so the Leafs had to settle for Connolly. He fits what they need in terms of being a top six center. He's a creative playmaker who should help their scorers on the wings like Phil Kessel and Nikolai Kulemin. But he's a very fragile player. He's missed a ton of games over the course of his career for a variety of reasons.
Southeast Division
-The Capitals signed former Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million. In 57 games last season, Vokoun went 22-28-5 with at 2.55 goals against average, .922 save percentage and six shutouts.
-EN Says: What a coup by the Capitals. They add one of the best players available on the free agent market regardless of position for very little money. They have an established starter with Michal Neuvirth in net but he's somewhat injury prone. Vokoun (right) is really good insurance in case Neuvirth falters.
-"The opportunity to compete for a Stanley Cup means a great deal to him." - Michael Deutsch, Vokoun's agent.
-Washington re-signed former Penguins forward Chris Bourque to a one-year deal. Financial terms of the deal were not revealed.
-The Hurricanes signed former Thrashers forward Anthony Stewart to a two-year contract worth $1.8 million. He will have a salary cap hit of $900,000. In 80 games last season, Stewart scored 39 points (14 goals, 25 assists).
-EN Says: Stewart has a pretty big body at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds and he know how to use it as a forechecker. He has some scoring ability but doesn't always find a way to finish. He's a bit of a project, but he has potential to be a top-six power forward.
-The Jets signed former Lightning defenseman Randy Jones (right) to a one-year deal worth $1.15 million. In 61 games last season, he scored 13 points (one goal, 12 assists).
-EN Says: This is a depth signing. Jones is your typical No. 5 or 6 defenseman.
-Winnipeg signed former Canucks forward Rick Rypien to a one-year deal worth $700,000. In nine games last season, Rypien recorded one assist and 31 penalty minutes.
-EN Says: When Rypien has everything in his life right, he's one of the best fighters in the NHL pound for pound. Despite only being 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, he routinely takes on much larger men. But he has dealt with personal problems on and off throughout his career which have kept him away from the game.
-The Lightning signed former Rangers defenseman Matt Gilroy to a one-year contract worth $1 million. In 58 games last season, Gilroy scored 11 points (one goal, 10 assists).
-EN Says: Gilroy is a pretty talented offensive defenseman who is prone to lapses in his own zone. He'll be a project.
-Tampa Bay re-signed former defenseman Richard Petiot to a one-year, two-way contract.
-The Panthers signed former Penguins forward Matt Bradley (right), late of the Capitals, to a two-year deal. Financial terms were not revealed. In 61 games, Bradley scored 11 points (four goals, seven assists).
-EN Says: Bradley adds toughness on the bottom two lines. He's a strong forechecker and he will drop the gloves on occasion. Assuming the money is right, he'll help his team for his role.
Central Division
-The Red Wings signed former Sharks defenseman Ian White to a two-year deal worth a total of $5.75 million. He will have a salary cap hit of $2.875 million. In 62 games last season, White scored 20 points (two goals, 18 assists).
-EN Says: White is a pretty good puck handler and skate so he should fit in well with the Red Wings' puck possession style. He's not terribly tough in his own zone however.
-The Blues signed former Sharks defenseman Kent Huskins (right) to a one-year contract worth $1 million. In 50 games last season he scored 10 points (two goals, eight assists).
-EN Says: Huskins is a solid depth defenseman. He plays a stay at home game.
Northwest Division
-The Oilers signed forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, the top pick in this year's draft, to a three-year entry-level contract.
-The Flames signed former Avalanche forward Ben Walter and former Panthers defenseman Clay Wilson to two-year two-way contracts.
-"I wanted the one-year contract because they have been rough years and I know that, and I want to prove to myself and everyone else that I can play again." - Forward Marco Sturm on why he opted to join the Canucks.
Pacific Division
-The Kings signed former Lightning forward Simon Gagne (right) to a two-year contract worth a total of $7 million. He will have a salary cap hit of $3.5 million. In 63 games last season, Gagne scored 40 points (17 goals, 23 assists).
-EN Says: With Ryan Smyth gone, this gives them a replacement scoring threat on the left wing. That said, Gagne is a different player than Smyth. Gagne, if healthy, is a 20-goal threat and a solid playoff preformer. He bring a veteran presence and his cap hit isn't too bad. His biggest drawback his health as he's dealth with head injuries on and off the past few seasons.
-The Ducks signed former Capitals forward Andrew Gordon to a two-year two-way contract. In nine games with the Capitals last season, he scored two points (one goal, one assist).
Adams Division
-Former Panthers/Flames/Mighty Ducks/Ducks/Devils/Sabres forward Rob Niedermayer (right) joined Lugano of the NLA in Switzerland.
-Former NHL official Andy Van Hellemond is suing for libel over a comic strip which called him "evil."
