Welcome to the Washington Water Color Association
Formerly called the Washington Water Color Club, the Washington Water Color Association is one of the oldest societies of professional artists and can trace its beginnings to the late 19th century.
Washington watercolorist and teacher, Marietta W. Andrews, originated the idea for such a society. The first meeting, March 28, 1896, was attended by 15 professional artists. The first exhibition, December 1896, had 134 works displayed at the Cosmos Club of Washington. Between 1897 and 1899, the Water Color Club exhibited at the Connecticut Avenue Gallery. More History »

Palestinian men pray inside a partially destroyed mosque during Friday prayers in Gaza City on August 15, 2014. (AFP/Roberto Schmidt)
BEIRUT: Qatar is donating $1,000 to each homeowner whose house was leveled during Israel's military campaign on Gaza, a Palestinian official said Saturday.
Deputy Social Affairs Minister Omar al-Dari told Safa News Agency that the ministry would distribute aid coming from the Qatari Committee to Rebuild Gaza in two days and it was $1,000 for homeowner whose house was completely destroyed during the aggression.
"The government committee in Gaza will supervise the distribution of such help and the Social Affairs Ministry offices will distribute the money in its branches across Gaza," he said.
He also said that the ministry was working on verifying and finalizing a list of names of homeowners in a transparent matter.
"It is an urgent aid to families who have lost their homes during the aggression to that it could rent a house for several months and buy necessary stuff."

Talk is continuing to build at the Titans' offseason workouts. Everything from CJ's contract, to Albert Haynesworth trades, to Jeff Fisher rating his players' preformances so far. And we here at Titan Takeover know that it's a little tough to keep up with all the chatter, and we're here to put it all in one place for you.
Chris Johnson Update
CJ hasn't shown up for any workouts to this point, just like last year. Only this time it's for another reason, as he plans to holdout on us to he gets his "deserved" money. The only thing is, Jeff Fisher doesn't seem very worried about it:
"I think after a couple of more weeks he'll start missing us,'' Fisher told Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean. "Plus, Chris is under contract.''
Albert Haynesworth Trade-Talk
The Redskins are still looking to trade the "$100 million-dollar man," And new rumors have escalated that the Titans are officially interested - I'll keep an eye out for more on this.
Vickerson Allowed to Workout with Team
DT Kevin Vickerson signed a workout wavier, which allows him to be with the team over the workout period - but is yet to sign the one-year tender offered by the Titans earlier in the offseason.
Jeff Fisher Wants More Effort Out of Kenny Britt
The man often seen as our best wideout, Kenny Britt, is taking some recent heat for being "very. very inconsistent"

5328 & Toshiba Satellite P25-S507 fails
Toshiba Satellite P25-S507, Linux 2.6.1, XFree86 Version 4.3.0, Nvidia driver 5328 fails.
There are no unusual messages in the logs, so the driver doesn't seem to know that things are not working.
Here is a picture of what I see upon starting X:
JPEG of messed up screen
It's the NVIDIA logo screen.
4496 works well.
If I install 5328 and startx I get the screen in the picture. If I rmmod the 5328 driver and then insmod 4496 & startx again, I get the same messed up screen. I have to reboot in order for 4496 to again correctly work.
Here are some more details:
I made similar experiences with my P20 under Suse 8.2. My attempts to find somebody who has a Toshiba P20/P25 running sucessfully with 5328 failed so far. Let's hope for the next release...
5336 works
5336 version of the NVIDIA driver is working correctly.
Yes, I'm glad to say it works for me too!
The only bad thing I've noticed is an occasional flickering of the screen (maybe happending only after an OpenGL app had been run). This happens every some minutes and appears like a short flashing !?
Does anyone else have such an effect?
(Maybe I'll add the log + config when I'm home again...)
Occasional flashes
Indeed, I do see occasional flashes. Even saw one while typing this message in probably due to the NVIDIA ad.
I found some lines in my X11 log that I find suspicious. I'm running XP right now and only have a modem to connect so I don't have the log at hand, but the lines obviously have to do with the modeline entries in the XF86Config (Some numbers with the resolution and geometry information). Right after I start X11 the log looks pretty much like yours, but I noticed that after some minutes those lines with the monitor modelines are added (and maybe after this occasional flickering started). Did you notice something like that in your log?
Thanks to Explore2fs I could get the log: The lines I meant are included in the following part of my log and start with "GetModeLine"

At the office I run with two displays: the laptops LCD, and an external LCD connected to the back. So far as I've noticed, the external display never exhibits the flicker.

Make your image files easier to find by giving them names.
For instance, rather than "Image403.jpg" assign a name like "041225-too_much_eggnog.jpg". Notice the 04 is the year, 12 is month, and 25 is day. By putting the year first it will sort pictures according to year—if you did it month first then all the 12's for 04, 05, etc. would be lumped together.

The Devils' five-game winning streak reminds me of a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode where Larry David is having his typically predictable bad luck, but when standing on a street corner he avoids getting showered by a puddle from a car passing by and instead the man next to him gets drenched. Weirdly, this signified to Larry that possibly his luck was about to change, and it does. Every inconvenience and problem that he had created for himself, or which unluckily had fallen into his lap, gets resolved with a string of wonderfully fortunate events.
I'm not sure what was the event that started their string of good fortune –possibly it was the puck off the stanchion that Clarkson then converted into a goal to tie the Devils-Rangers game on January 31st (a game they then won in overtime) -- but a quarter has truly landed on its side for New Jersey.
The NHL is so competitive that most playoff teams will need a stretch of luck to help them through the grinding schedule. The Devils' recent string of wins has certainly evidenced this. Last Thursday, against the Montreal Canadiens, Zubrus interfered with and obstructed Montreal defenseman Tomas Kaberle enough to give linemate Ponikarovsky the room to roll out of the corner and shoot. Zubrus then dropped behind Kaberle and deflected the shot for a goal to tie the game at 3-3. While this was a big momentum shift, it was small potatoes in the bigger picture, as the Canadiens could have had ten goals at least had Brodeur not amazingly saved them all.
In the Flyers game last Saturday, Brodeur made a huge save early in the first period on Claude Giroux, and then the Flyers got called for two consecutive penalties, giving the Devils a five-on-three which Foster capitalized on to put the team up 1-0.
Kovalchuk's shorthanded goal came off of Zubrus cutting down Giroux at the point, which created a 2-on-1 that Kovie ripped past Sergei Bobrovsky to give the Devils a two-goal lead.
Then, Zubrus scored a buzzer-beater with 0.3 seconds remaining in the first period! The referees proceeded to give Scott Hartnell a penalty to begin the second for a high stick, although the infraction likely happened before Zubrus scored, meaning it should have been wiped away following Zubrus' goal.
Hartnell's penalty to begin the second period led to Parise scoring to put the Devils up 4-0 (a lead that would grow to 6-0 by the end of the second period). New Jersey then avoided an historic collapse, conceding four goals in less than ten minutes in the third period, but holding on to the victory.
In the Penguins game, Kovie and Zubrus switched places, with Kovie the perpetrator as he manhandled former Devils' defenseman Paul Martin to win the puck and drive hard to the net.

Ambitious, visually stunning and hugely accomplished.
Surprisingly conventional Olde London Towne gaslight mystery, gussied up with some doctored visuals, and an eccentric performance by Johnny Depp.
A visionary breakthrough for the young directors, a darkly alluring and largely successful attempt to crowd the territory of Roman Polanski and Dario Argento.
Superbly shot around Prague -- From Hell is even more stylish than gruesome -- it has the lush decrepitude of an autumn compost heap or an old Hammer werewolf flick.
Depp gives yet another introspective, slightly mopey performance -- Graham never begins to act (and never has begun, as far as I know). But they're surrounded by an authentic, first-rate English cast.
The movie feels dark, clammy and exhilarating -- it's like belonging to a secret club where you can have a lot of fun but might get into trouble.
The movie works well as a straight-out horror yarn, proving that the Hughes Brothers are more versatile than their previous "ghetto pictures" suggest.
It's not a great movie by any means, but it grips tighter than a chokehold and it cuts as deep as a knife.
A tug-of-war between a bracing vision of a truly infernal crime spree -- complete with engaging whodunit storytelling -- and a sometimes clumsy period drama.
An amazing physical specimen, beautifully photographed and edited. If you think of it as your own opium dream, you may dismiss the lousy story as a mere side effect.
An astonishing act of synthesis, bringing together disparate Ripper theories and a fiercely idiosyncratic version of London's history, architecture, policing and social structure.
So beautifully realized as a mood piece that it takes a while for a slight disappointment to register.
The movie's most glaring flaw is that the brothers and their screenwriters, Terry Hayes and Rafael Yglesias, don't manage to preserve the secret of the Ripper's identity for nearly as long as they intend to.
With almost as many subplots as corpses, the movie maintains its mild watchability only because the Ripper saga still engrosses.
Labyrinthine yet oversimple, the story seems to hide a more provocative one. But perhaps this is the nature of the beast.
There's no bite or sting, nor is there a single moment when the film is anything close to scary. It isn't ever engaging, either; it's a dull, sluggish bum-out.
Lacks the energy and urgency of its source material.
It is deeply unpleasant to see women abducted, tortured and eviscerated by a methodical and meticulous butcher.
Could have been a beautiful and suspenseful thriller, lukewarm performances make the film just another movie to add to one's "rent-it-when-it-comes-to-DVD" list.
A visual tour-de-force; it's just that there's not much else to sink your teeth into once the pretty colors fade from view.
A visionary sort of horror movie should ponder three words: "Bram Stoker's Dracula."
What the Hughes brothers have come up with is, to borrow another phrase from that bygone age, a penny dreadful.
The only note of authenticity in the movie comes from Ian Holm, playing the royal physician. What is this nuanced performance -- at least until the final fireworks -- doing in this twaddle?
The Hughes boys blow it by burying a fine cast -- Robbie Coltrane as a cop and Ian Holm as a royal sawbones are standouts -- in stock scares, sappy romance and cliches that really are from hell.
Feels razor thin. None of the characters is particularly noteworthy. And the revelations of deep-seated conspiracy in the usual privileged, closed circles are hackneyed and tired.

Do not move here they are very slow with completing task. Even when they complete task its left half done. My apartment is suppose to be renovated but there are parts in which they forgot to paint. It took them until the end of the month to finish the job and they still charged me for that month as if I my apartment was renovated the entire month. The staff are very respectful and nice. The maintenance guys change to frequently so you never get a chance to truly know them. Another bad thing about my apartment is I have to run the dish washer once a week or else the sewage water will fill it up leaving a horrible smell. I really cant wait to move out of here. To top everything off... I have the worst infestation of roaches in my apartment. I don't know where they come from and how they got here but I keep my apartment really clean and still manage to get my food and dishes ruined and covered with roaches. The pest control that come out doesn't really do much but spray the floor boards. He needs to investigate the problem and see where they are coming from. It is just so disgusting and I am at my pressure point. I am leaving this review so that others don't make this mistake moving here. I almost forgot that the trees are horrible here... leaves will cover your car and also ruin the paint. DO NOT waste your money on these. They are kind of overpriced for what you get. The only good thing that come from this place is the front office and how nice they are. MILITARY people stay away... Civilians stay away from here... EVERYONE stay away!!!

Everything has turned corporate and there is no welcoming feel when you come to the office. They will do everything they can to get as much money as possible. They even recently contracted a towing service to tow cars away at owners expense. They don't want to see their residents face and prefer rent is dropped off through a slot in the building. Overall, they are just awful and will not work with you whatsoever.

With the help of antidepressants, prescribed alone or along with psychotherapy or counseling, the great majority of adults who suffer with depression improve, according to the FDA and the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH). Depression is a complex brain disorder that affects how well nerve cells in certain parts of the brain work. Antidepressants improve the way some of those brain cells work and change the activity of certain chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. Antidepressants are powerful medications that affect people mentally, emotionally, and physically and must be taken with care to increase their benefits and decrease their chances of any serious side effects.Many antidepressants are available, and sometimes you and your doctor may need to try several to find the one that is best for you. Also, these drugs take time to be effective; it may take a few weeks before you see your symptoms decrease. Your health care provider will help you find the one drug or a combination of drugs that work.It's important to take antidepressants exactly as prescribed. Doing a good job of communicating with your doctor and pharmacist about your symptoms and your medication use also is important.Variety availableExamples of the variety of antidepressants available:Tricyclic antidepressantsSSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors)Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitorsNorepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitorsTetracyclicsMAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors)Possible side effectsMost antidepressants cause side effects, but many of the side effects ease after taking the drug for a period of time, the FDA says. Ask your doctor or pharmacist what side effects to expect of your antidepressant and if there are more serious side effects that you should report to your doctor. Don't stop taking medications or decrease your dose because of side effects without first talking with your health care provider. Different drugs have different side effects. Among common side effects are:NauseaHeadacheSexual dysfunctionConstipationUrination problems, primarily in menDizzinessSleepiness or problems falling asleepDry mouthRestlessnessBlurred visionMedication musts:Stick with your medication. It often takes three to eight weeks before antidepressants take effect and you start feeling better.Ask about drug interactions. Antidepressants can have an effect on many other medicines and vice versa. When you're taking an antidepressant, tell your health care provider and pharmacist about all the other medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicines and herbal health products.St. John's Wort is a nonprescription herbal product sometimes used by people for mild depression. It is not approved by the FDA to treat depression and can interact with other antidepressants, according to the NIMH. Let your doctor know if you are taking St. John's Wort. Follow instructions carefully. Taking an antidepressant exactly as prescribed, including the time of day, is crucial. You should never stop taking your medication without checking with your health care provider. Doing so could cause your depression to return with possible risk for suicide or cause symptoms from the sudden withdrawal. To stop taking an antidepressant safely, you should taper off your dosage over time, as your provider prescribes.Follow any warnings carefully. Some antidepressants cause drowsiness, making certain activities dangerous. Call your health care provider immediately if your depression becomes worse, you start to have suicidal thinking, or begin to think of ways to commit suicide.Tell your health care provider if you become pregnant or start to breastfeed a child. You may have to change medications. Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

Maryland's Renewable Energy Standard (RPS) should be devoted to clean renewable energy such as wind and solar. Instead Maryland's RPS includes black liquor and wood waste as well as other energy sources that are not clean and renewable.
The Maryland Sierra Club supports bills (HB 747/SB 734) that would effectively remove these dirty energy sources from the RPS and thus increase the demand and ultimately the production of clean renewable energy for Maryland.
A recent MIT study (1) showed that pollution from electrical energy generation causes 52,000 premature deaths, as well as disease, in the United States each year. The mid-Atlantic region is the epicenter of this harm. Baltimore has the highest emissions-related mortality rate in the nation, with 130 out of every 100,000 residents likely to die in a given year due to long-term exposure to air pollution. True renewables, such as wind and solar, do not have these harmful emissions.
HB 747 will exclude older, wasteful, and carbon intensive energy sources, such as black liquor and wood waste, from the Tier 1 subsidy that the RPS provides. When burned for energy, black liquor and wood waste produce carbon emissions (2) on par with coal.
Black liquor is an industrial by-product of the pulp and paper industry. Since the 1930's, paper mills have burned black liquor to supply electricity for milling purposes and to sell onto the grid. The climate change pollution from burning black liquor and wood waste is similar to that of coal, and the combustion of these materials also releases local toxic pollution, including sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, arsenic, and lead. Black Liquor and wood waste generate as much CO2 pollution as coal (95.13 kg/mmBtu and 93.87kg/mmBtu respectively versus 93 kg/mmBtu for bituminous coal, where kg/mmBtu are kilograms of CO2 per million BTUs of energy produced.
There is no real benefit to our state in encouraging this continuing source of pollution under the guise of promoting renewable energy. Many of these facilities were generating energy for other reasons, even before the advent of the RPS set-aside in Maryland; this bill effectively excludes them from the RPS credit, thus focusing and directing the RPS benefits toward truly renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. Keep in mind that this bill does not affect the continued operation of these sources –- it simply and correctly focuses our Renewable Portfolio Standard on the types of technology we hope to encourage.
To see how the inclusion of these materials degrades the purposes of the RPS, consider that for the past 7 years, 50% of Maryland's rate-payer-funded Tier-1 Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) have come from black liquor and wood waste and most of these are out-of-state. Conversely, Delaware and New Jersey, who already bar black liquor from their RPS, get 70% of their RPS energy from wind and solar, the types of clean energy sources that the RPS was intended to promote. Maryland only gets 17% of its RPS energy from these non-polluting sources.
Eliminating black liquor and wood waste from the RPS would make room for more jobs in clean renewable energy and energy conservation. This bill would not affect the only paper mill in Maryland in Luke, MD. There is no ratepayer impact form removing black liquor and wood waste from the RPS.

Show Dogs Restaurant Review: Located smack-dab in the middle of one of San Francisco's dodgier districts, Show Dogs is a hidden winner. The restaurant was born into a good lineage --- it's the scrappy little brother of the elegant Foreign Cinema in the Mission. Yes, it's a sausage joint, but chef-owners Gayle Pirie and John Clark have brought exacting standards to this triangular storefront with a narrow outside patio. Show Dogs draws an eclectic mix of hipsters, dressed-up theatergoers and everyone in between. The pickled hot-link (it's been soaked in apple cider vinegar and other spices) is accompanied by creamy Black River blue cheese, a welcome cooler. The burger on a pain de mie bun is nicely cooked and topped with white cheddar and special sauce, while the fried chicken sandwich, served on the same soft bun, is anointed with tangy slaw. Meat-avoiders can try the Field Roast vegetarian sausage. But it's the side of onion rings that shines: slim, crisp and salty, they need no dip. Beverages include a small selection of beers on tap, most locally produced, as well as a few California wines and artisanal non-alcoholic options.

Wandy needs to clear up his issues with the NAC before calling anyone out.
This matchup definitely has potential to be a barn burner, I think Hendo takes it.
"I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will get confused. 1: Si vis pacum para bellum. Latin. If you want peace, prepare for war. 2: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. 3: In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacies, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This isn't vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment "
Very winnable fight for Dan at this stage of his career. He won't get tossed around like old hot garbage. And seriously Wandy, do you not know what happened to Chael? Someone get this man a paper or internet connection or something.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
I would like to see Hendo Wandy three. It should be a special attraction match. The special attraction should be that there is no regulatory testing within three months of fight. Just let me juice it up.
Seriously though I would watch this.
Great fight, but I would rather watch Wandy get put in forced retirement at this point its just painful to watch him get koed now
Gotta resolve the Gayness
Last six years 11 fights, has only won 4 of said fights. 4/11 36 % of his fights he wins? not a great stat.
Gotta resolve the Gayness
The weirdest part of this for me is that he wants it to be for the Pride MW belt... Nothing he says makes sense. Nothing.
Like I said I think head tramua has gotten to Wandy

Wicked Embers coming this year
With the December 2014 release of Darkness Falls –the last Dark Angels novel– out of the way, it's time to gear up for the release of Wicked Embers, the 2nd novel in the Souls of Fire series. It's my only release this year (unless I can get my act together and finish Fowl Deeds, the 2nd book in the Harri Phillecky series) but that doesn't mean I'm be lazing around twiddling my thumbs. Check out my blog for some news on upcoming projects :)
And while I may only have the one print novel out, there are audio books coming! Audible have purchased the right for all my ImaJinn novels (the ones Bantam recently re-released in paperback format) and they'll be coming out over the next year or so.
Until the next update, keep safe everybody!
Out Now
Darkness Falls
The final book in the Dark Angels series...
The search for the last key to the gates of hell has begun, and half-werewolf, half-Aedh Risa Jones is in more danger than ever—and one misstep could prove ruinous. It's only a matter of time before Madeleine Hunter, the dangerous head of the vampire council, begins her hunt for complete domination. And for Risa, that comes with an alarming ultimatum: hand over the last key to Hunter or, one by one, her loved ones will die.
Now, it's a race against time for Risa to save those she loves, and to stop Hunter's apocalyptic plan to open the very gates of hell.

These eyedrops increase the amount of light getting into the eye.

The Journal Sentinel's Rick Barrett offers news for Harley enthusiasts about motorcycle industry and culture.
Tsunami bike at Harley-Davidson Museum
The motorcycle that floated more than 4,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean following the Japanese earthquake and tsunami will be unveiled Wednesday at the Harley-Davidson Museum.
The bike's owner asked to have the 2004 FXSTB Softail Night Train preserved in Milwaukee in honor of those who lost their lives in the March 2011 storm that devastated Japan.
"I would be delighted if it could be preserved in its current condition" in the museum, Ikuo Yokoyama said in a statement released by Harley-Davidson.
The bike, inside a large white container, floated more than 4,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
A beachcomber in British Columbia's Haida Gwaii Islands found it while exploring an isolated beach on his all-terrain vehicle.
The container had Japanese writing on it, and the bike's license plate indicated it was from Japan.
The bike was rusty, especially the wheels and handlebars, but the Harley logo on the fuel tank was unmistakable.
Still struggling to rebuild his life, 29-year-old Yokoyama lost three family members and his home in the storm and is living in temporary housing in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Harley-Davidson had offered to return his bike, but he wasn't ready for it.
The bike is now on display at the museum where it will part of the permanent collection. Here's a link to the photo gallery, and more details will be coming later.

No Turning Back Now
Carmelo Anthony, the Triangle Offense, and the Art of What Comes Next for the New York Knicks.
After days — really, on some level, months — of speculation about the future of the Knicks' relationship with Carmelo Anthony, after reading smoke signals from his camp and the camp of any other free agent whose decision seemed like it might have an impact on Melo's, after analyzing cap situations and potential sign-and-trade pieces in Texas and California and Illinois and Florida, after denial and frustration and acceptance and equal measures of anticipation and angst at the prospect of starting from scratch; after all of those things, the Knicks and their fans now find themselves back where they started: with a great scorer and a high payroll and the sincere hope that they can find a way to make it all work.
Carmelo Anthony is coming back to the Knicks.
He is theirs and they are his, for better or for worse, for richer and for cap poorer. And like any marriage, when the pomp and romance and celebration of the reception ends, the truly beautiful and difficult part begins: the act of learning to live and flourish together despite their flaws. In the Knicks' and Melo's case, their potentially incongruous parts make the union imperfect to objective eyes, yet oddly perfect for one another.
For Carmelo, moving forward means a new coach and system, a roster in transition, and a fan base that will expect not only leadership and patience in the season to come, but also some affirmation of Anthony's commitment to the franchise. Many are now left with the distinct impression that his free agency tour ended with a somewhat reluctant return to Gotham — even if there is no direct evidence to substantiate that sentiment.
For the Knicks, the task at hand is largely no simpler, nor more complex than it was when 'Melo first arrived in that now-infamous trade from the Denver Nuggets back in 2011. New York must (again) construct a championship-caliber roster that relies on a centerpiece whose past deficiencies are as notorious as his considerable gifts are undeniable. Tempting though it might be to say that New York would have been better off protecting its financial and roster flexibility — cliché though it is to suggest that a Melo-led team absolutely cannot win a title — Anthony's retention was the most prudent available option for a franchise whose recurrent and compounding mistakes had completely blocked all less crooked paths to glory.
Even the naysayers — and there are many of them — will be hard-pressed to refute Anthony's fit within Phil Jackson's paradigm. The Zen Master's approach to building a winner will begin with his system, the battle-tested triangle offense. And triangle teams rely on the presence of one dynamic, versatile wing scorer.
The Knicks could have all the cap room in the world for the next 10 summers, and they still might not be able to acquire a player who fits that role better than Anthony.
Consider this: after shooting just 31 percent from three-point range in seven-plus seasons as a Nugget, Carmelo's efficiency from downtown has skyrocketed. He's hit his triples at a 38.5 percent clip as a Knick, and his 40.2 percent mark in 2013-14 was the best of his career. He has adjusted his shot selection accordingly, too, attempting over 400 threes in each of his last two seasons after never taking more than 214 in a season in Denver.
Accordingly, the shift of Carmelo's heat map from the super-inefficient long-two-point range to beyond the arc has not only made him a more efficient scorer, it should (theoretically) reap team-wide benefits in an offensive system that relies heavily on good spacing. That teams need to respect Melo 25 feet from the rim should create scoring opportunities for shooters and slashers alike; that he can also punish defenses off the dribble and in the post should make New York's offense particularly tough to defend. That is, if Jackson can surround Anthony with the proper teammates.
The triple-threat wing — 'Melo's role — is one of two integral components of the triangle offense. The other is a versatile post presence who can pass. As presently constituted, the Knicks have no such player and — with Pau Gasol's reported signing with Chicago on Saturday — will almost certainly not be able to acquire one before the upcoming season, given their salary cap woes.
Luckily for Jackson and Anthony, however, Pau's younger brother, Marc, is set to hit unrestricted free agency in next summer. Coincidentally, the Knicks figure to have ample cap space after the expiration of Amar'e Stoudemire's and Andrea Bargnani's debilitating contracts. And Marc Gasol, 30 years old and with a game that should age quite well, might fit the prototypical mold of a triangle big better than any other in-prime player in the league.
Complicating matters — because: Knicks — is the fact that Memphis will be able to offer Gasol a more lucrative contract than any other franchise in the league. There's absolutely no way of knowing whether Gasol will have any interest in rolling the dice on leaving for a less-established Knicks team to play with a star who has a reputation for selfishness, but should the Spaniard be amenable to New York, he should be the Jackson's Plan A. (Kevin Love, currently slated to be a free agent in 2015, would be an ideal fit for this role as well, too — at least on offense — but it seems far more likely that he will be traded and signed to a long-term deal before the Knicks would have a chance to land him.)
Gasol's passing, mid-range game, and ability to command a double-team in the post fit the triangle perfectly and complement Melo's greatest strengths, while his rim protection and defensive savvy protect against Melo's worst habits.
With Anthony and Gasol, the Knicks would likely have to commit $40 million or so to just two players, but the pair would be ideal matches both for one another and in collectively fulfilling the most important system roles for Derek Fisher.
The beauty of the triangle lies largely in allowing for teams to be top-heavy as long as the players brought in to support its stars properly fit the roles they're assigned. For example, the system de-emphasizes the need for a star point guard who can engineer the offense off the dribble. In the triangle, the point guard serves as more of a conduit, camping at the top of the key as a release valve, looking to shoot open threes when available or switch the play to attack over-shifted defenses.
Newly-acquired point guard Jose Calderon should fit that role nicely. He's better than a 40-percent three-point shooter for his career and, as traditional point guard skills go, he's far more accomplished as a passer than a dribble-penetrator. Calderon will 34 by the time the Knicks could sign Gasol, but the limited need for athleticism from a triangle point guard should hide his advancing years fairly well; anyone who doubts that should look to the example of his new coach, who manned that post in Los Angeles well into his thirties. But whether Calderon ages well or not is secondary to the more general benefit of the system — namely, that in a league with an unprecedented supply of explosiveness at the 1, floor generals whose value derives more from minimizing mistakes and hitting open looks can be had at a bargain.
Similarly, the presence of Melo and Gasol would greatly mitigate the need for the Knicks to look for an additional star on the wing. The triangle offense would place such heavy playmaking emphasis on those two players that the Knicks need only look for wings who can hit open looks and defend to fill out their rotation.
One of the main beneficiaries of the new system in New York stands to be Iman Shumpert. The Knicks have spent three years changing their mind about precisely what he is, but, given their current offense and personnel, they can abandon their misguided intentions to turn him into a point guard or a slasher and try to help him develop into a more consistent deep threat.
Two 2014 draft picks — Cleanthony Early and Thanasis Antetekounmpo — project to be a shooter and a wing defender, respectively. In the best-case scenario, Early's ceiling could even see him develop into something of a mini-Melo who could take on increased minutes as the strong-side wing as he develops and Melo ages.
On the interior, New York will be priced out of the bidding for high-flyers and additional post scorers, but should be able to beef up their rotation with rebounders and defenders who can play the potentially low-usage weak-side post role in the triangle while contributing in the areas that their skill sets suggest. In Cole Aldrich, Jeremy Tyler, and Samuel Dalembert, the Knicks already have a handful of guys who could fill those roles. But, again, the larger point is that these player types tend to come fairly cheap, which great news for a team whose best option is to use nearly two-thirds of the salary cap on two players.
J.R. Smith is a wild card, but at his best, he also could prove to be a significant asset in the triangle. His primary job should be to sit either in the strong-side corner or on the weak-side wing and wait for the offense to produce good long-range looks for him. But, given that Melo can't play 48 minutes, he could also see a couple of shifts per night as the team's primary perimeter threat, with the hope that could be enough to sate his appetite for ball-domination in a role that actually suits his skills fairly well.
If all of this seems a bit starry-eyed, that's really fine. The last and best part of the deal for New York is that the player they just retained is one who commanded interest from nearly every team that had cap space and for whom he expressed some willingness to play. This isn't Amar'e Stoudemire and his uninsurable knees, or Andrea Bargnani, Allan Houston, Eddy Curry, or any of a handful of other players for whom the Knicks essentially bid against themselves.
Anthony is a gifted offensive talent who has been better than ever in the past two years. He is a legitimately valuable asset at any price, and his game relies on his skill, power, and smarts more than his quickness or vertical leap, all of which is to say that he's likely to retain his value into his mid-thirties better than most elite wings. Barring injury, there should be contenders willing to trade assets for Anthony in seven months (if utter disaster strikes) or 18 months (if New York fails to complement Anthony with another star player and wants to start from scratch) or 30 months (if things simply aren't working, and both player and team agree that it would be best to part ways). Even if the return in such a deal was underwhelming, it's better to take a shot at the plan succeeding, knowing you can get something if it fails, than it would have been to let Carmelo walk for nothing this summer.
And, really, that's what makes Melo and the Knicks so perfect for one another. They're both taking calculated risks here — risks that New York's youngsters will develop and that its system will work and that it will have better luck in the coming summers than it did the last time it had cap room to use. They both likely wish they could have done better than they did, but both realized they simply couldn't. Now their interests are almost perfectly aligned. The circumstances (read: on-court failure) that would lead to Melo wanting out are largely the same ones that would make it wise for the Knicks to trade him.
There's no more speculation, posturing, leverage, or negotiation. Melo and the Knicks are in this together. Now it's time to see if it can work.

I did and mine didn't go away. Or I had it before I got preggo and didn't know it. Start testing some sugars so you can see what you got goin' on. Hope it turns out well!
Thanks, TG
Mom to MG (3/07) & SG (10/09)
I did and mine didn't go away either, although I suspect I was prediabetic before hand. Luckily it isn't severe and I'm confident I can get rid of it with a little weight loss/exercise.
My doctor said to test my morning numbers once a month for 12 mos. They just need to be less than 120. I have tested twice and they have been about 90. Seems like it is gone. He did recommend a low carb diet for the rest of my life to prevent type II. It is harder to stick to that kind of diet now, but I am going to try.
