NBA competition committee recommending expansion of instant replay to include block/charge calls
Jun 12, 2013, 10:28 PM EDT
The NBA's competition committee met Wednesday in San Antonio, and is making recommendations on expanding instant replay to include a few more potentially critical situations, according to a report from the Associated Press.
The bigger news, however, is that this is the first time that the league would allow plays that are judgment calls made by the officials to be potentially overturned following video review. To this point, only plays that have an objectively factual conclusion — such as whether a player's feet were or were not in the restricted area, or which team touched the ball last before it went out of bounds — have been the subject of replay reviews.
Block/charge calls in late-game situations would be added to instant replay under the committee's recommendation, as would off-the-ball fouls on inbounds plays and on made free throws.
While review is a good thing generally speaking, it's tough to see how the block/charge was the one that made the cut. We're talking about a play which is almost always 50-50 in real time, and it's usually tough to tell even after multiple viewings which way it should have been whistled. It would be easy to see the referee who originally made the call sticking to it in an extremely high percentage of reviewable instances.
If the league truly wants to give the referees the ability to check their work, they should make all fouls in the last two minutes of the game eligible to be reviewed if two of the three officials on the floor have a question about a potentially game-changing call. Now that the door has been opened for judgment calls to be potentially added to the replay queue, it's no longer impossible to envision.

Adolph Ojard, Executive Director of the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, plans to retire this year after serving in that leadership role for the past decade.
A national search is underway for a new Executive Director. The board anticipates having that person hired by the end of summer/early fall. After a brief transitional time, Ojard will then settle into retirement.
Ojard was appointed executive director of the Duluth Seaway Port Authority in March 2003. A Great Lakes maritime and transportation veteran, he now serves as the Port Authority's chief executive officer. Ojard spent more than 30 years with transportation affiliates of the U.S. Steel Corporation where he held executive positions in rail, inland barging, and Great Lakes shipping. He was president of the Warrior Gulf Navigation Co. in Alabama until 1997 when he became general manager of both the DM&IR Railway and USS Great Lakes Fleet, regional railroad and vessel companies headquartered in Duluth, Minnesota. Ojard is currently president of the American Great Lakes Ports Association, chair of the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) U.S. delegation, a member of the Maritime Transportation System National Advisory Council (MTSNAC), and chairs the Great Ships Initiative advisory committee. Ojard also serves on the board of the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council, in addition to several community boards.

Nice hotel but staff questionablePosted Jul 23, 2015
Pros: This hotel has good rooms and a great breakfast buffet.
Cons: The desk help could be more accommodating to the people who have made specific request and not sound so uneducated!
Location: We went to the national park in town that the employees had no idea where it was.
We have stayed at the Best Western Kokopellia and loved it! So on our trip this year with another family we decided to stay there again because we loved it so much. We booked the rooms over a month before our stay and specifically called to request that we have rooms next to each other. They assured us that we would have rooms next to each other. Well when we arrived at the hotel, we were on the second floor and our friends were on the 1st floor. When I explained to them that we had requested and been assured that we would have rooms next to each other they replied that yes it was noted to be that way. The young girl that was helping us responded that since our room was directly over our friends that we were next to them. So if anyone is requesting a room next to anyone please be specific of where you want your room! I hope the management will contact us to make this right!

Perfect place for stay on trip to ColoradoPosted Jul 5, 2015
Pros: See above.
Cons: n/a
Location: See above
We needed a place to stay while traveling from Dallas to Breckenridge, Colorado. Clayton, NM is about the right distance to split the trip. We had stayed other places in Clayton on other trips but this will be our choice from now on. The reservations were handled swiftly and correctly. The staff was helpful and welcoming. The common areas are unusually well decorated (in native American motif) and well maintained. The room was clean and comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was excellent. Overall a pleasure.

It is OK. Not at all great.Posted May 28, 2015
Pros: Nice sized room.
Cons: Wifi service - When you sit at the desk the internet does not work. You have to move to another part of the room to get service.
Location: I looked at reviews for nearby restaurants and went to the gas station for chicken. I don't know how bad the restaurants are, but reviews are awful.
A good value. Nothing amazing. Hotel is too close to the highway and noisy.

I love the Working Persons Store, and buy boots nowhere else. Your products last far longer than boots costing 2+ times as much. I walk thousands (literally!!) of miles yearly, and have found your Carolina boots to be so well made that they prevent the possibility of my twisting an ankle. I might break a leg in the rough places I walk-inspecting chainsaw contract timber stand improvement, collecting forest data, and doing archeology- but by tying my boots as tight as I can stand, I can't suffer a twisted ankle. The lightweight, yet rugged, boots have been a Godsend to me as I age. Your boots have been a very important factor in ameliorating the increasing difficulties I face, and enabling me to continue to serve the publics forestry needs. Thank you for existing, I shall continue to patronize your business."
James H. from Booneville, Arkansas

Coating Materials
For the fourth time, California is proposing—and coatings makers are fighting—performance standards that would establish a ranking system to determine if a ship's hull is "clean" enough to enter state waters.
The American Coatings Association's Anti-Fouling Work Group submitted its latest round of objections Tuesday (June 26), in response to the California State Lands Commission's fourth draft of the standards.
ACA calls the plan "unworkable and scientifically unsupportable."
The changes involve amendments the commission is proposing to Article 4.8 Biofouling Management Regulations for Vessels Operating in California Waters.
Fouling Directive
The standards would apply to new vessels delivered on or after Jan. 1, 2014, and to existing vessels after completion of their first out-of-water maintenance on or after that date.
The Lands Commission is operating under a statutory directive from the State Legislature to establish regulations "governing the management of hull fouling on vessels arriving at a California port or place."
The mandate requires that the fouling plan "be based on the best available technology economically achievable"—language similar to that used in another unpopular regulation that coating makers have been unable to stop.
The fouling regulations were to have been established by January 2012. ACA first submitted comments on the draft in August 2011 and has been actively involved in the rulemaking process, testifying before the commission at public hearings in November 2011 and January 2012.
"Despite four iterations of proposed amendments and consistent and repeated comments by ACA and other industry stakeholders, the CSLC staff remains tied to an unworkable and scientifically unsupportable idea of numeric performance standards," ACA said in a release.
Proposed Requirements
The proposed standards would apply to all vessels carrying or capable of carrying ballast water operating in the water of California. Among the draft requirements:
• Niche areas of a vessel (areas more susceptible to biofouling, such as sea-chests and sea-chest gratings, bow and stern thrusters, fin stabilizers, propellers and propeller shafts, rudders, and out-of-water block marks) must not be "significantly in excess" of 5 percent macrofouling. (Macrofouling is defined as large, distinct multicellular organisms visible to the human eye such as barnacles, tubeworms, or fronds of algae.)
• All other wetted portions of the hull must not be "significantly in excess" of 1 percent macrofouling.
• Niche areas of a vessel (areas more susceptible to biofouling, such as sea-chests and sea-chest gratings, bow and stern thrusters, fin stabilizers, propellers and propeller shafts, rudders, and out-of-water block marks) must not be "significantly in excess" of 5 percent macrofouling. (Macrofouling is defined as large, distinct multicellular organisms visible to the human eye such as barnacles, tubeworms, or fronds of algae.)
• All other wetted portions of the hull must not be "significantly in excess" of 1 percent macrofouling.
Industry Concerns
ACA's Working Group and others in the industry have urged the commission to delete the performance standards from the proposal and confine its provisions to those in the IMO Guidelines for Control and Management of Ships' Biofouling to Minimize the Transfer of Invasive Aquatic Species.
In response, the commission included an alternative "presumed compliance" provision in the amendments. That means that compliance with the regulation will be presumed by demonstrating that the ship complies with various biofouling management plan elements.
ACA called the presumed compliance provision "a good start towards a workable and appropriate means of biofouling management," but said it did not make the performance standards more acceptable.
"There remains no evidence in the docket that the percentage cover proscribed by the performance standards is derived from an analysis that associates a given level of risk of invasion with the specific fouling percentage cover contained in the performance standards," ACA's comments said.
'Subjective Judgment'
"The assessment of a hull will rely on the subjective judgment of divers and enforcement officials. As such, an accurate assessment and uniform enforcement will be impractical and will add a significant burden of uncertainty to ship-operators entering California waters."
ACA also repeated its concern that the mandatory cleaning schedules (every 6–12 months) could prematurely deplete the biocide in antifouling coatings and degrade the coatings' performance and lifespan.
"Mandatory cleaning cycles could create the perverse effect of actually increasing the chance of fouling and the spread of invasive species," ACA said.

Overall it's a pleasant stayPosted Jul 25, 2015
Pros: It has Beautiful beach and the place is clean,comfortable to stay and has sufficient facilities . Good services.
Cons: the cost of non-alcohol drinks are a bit expensive like a small bottle of Coke cost $ 5 ! and FREE drinking water should be provided in room.
we booked beach villa and being upgraded to jacuzzi beach villa anyway the jacuzzi didn't work !(cause it's quite old) But who cares ? we mostly spent time at the beach which is really nice . And the food is considerably good ,anyhow, we felt that (non-alcohol)drinks and the rental sport gears are a bit expensive ! During our stay we got our free house reef trip and went snorkeling...there're so many beautiful fishes ! And the great thing was this guy :- Mr. Lyaan ( Meeru 's staff ) has helped pulling I and my daughter snorkeling to see all the reefs and fishes (cause the current's a bit strong on the day we went and it's difficult to swim by ourselves ) . Thank you so much Mr. Lyaan ! You made our Maldives trip much more enjoyable and fulfilled !!

ParadisePosted Jul 14, 2015
Pros: Great staff, good food and great natural surroundings.
Cons: sleeping options have more. 2 double beds in a room could benefit more families travelling with older children. Speedboat updated.
Location: Too many boats obstructed the view from the shoreline. spoils the surroundings. Tours should be more regular as we could not do the Island hopping.
Amazing natural beauty!! The hotel and staff were amazing especially Hawa at guest services and Seeman our server at the Buffet restaurant. Thank you for a pleasant stay. Highly recommend getting the all inclusive option. We originally were given a room in the six hundreds but once we noticed it was further away from the shore line we requested to be changed and was taken care off by Hawa. We ended up in room 114 which was closer to the shoreline. After a walk around it would have been great in the Five hundred series which was right on the shore line, next time!!! The over the water villas are also great but since I did not swim it might have been a challenge. Enjoyed the spa with my daughter, great experience. One thing that could be accomodated in this resort is the beds for three adults. Two doubles in a room would be great. We travelled with three adults, one couple and adult daughter. She had a roll out bed and would have appreciated a regular bed. Two double beds would have allowed for more comfortable stay. The only downside was the speedboat ride. Could not see outside to enjoy the ride. On the way home it became unbearable as the fumes were pretty strong and we were hot and stuffy. We sat in the lower sitting area as the boat was full. It would be nice to have a open ride to enjoy the oceanview to and from the resort. The price of speedboat is also too high. Overall, great experience. Food great, staff great, accomodations great.

Beautiful resortPosted Jun 25, 2015
We stayed at the Meeru for 5 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Absolutely breathtaking location with beautiful beaches and reefs in the water. We stayed in the overwater bungalow on the all inclusive package, the room was amazing and you could walk straight into the water from your balcony. We have buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner included which was the best buffet food I have had in my life with the options changing every day. I would highly reccomend this resort and plan on returning next year but will be stayng longer as 5 nights wasn't enough.

Evitate Jacuzzi beach villas dalla 101 alla 110Posted Jun 19, 2015
Pros: all inclusive plus veramente valido
Cons: Rumorosità molo attracco
Location: ad un ora di traghetto dall'aeroporto, centro immersioni valido, diverse escursioni disponibili ma non tutte a prezzi contenuti
Struttura bella, pulita, ben organizzata. Suggerisco la formula all inclusive plus la quale oltre tutti i pasti e le bevande senza limiti di quantità consente consente anche di usufruire di cocktail e bevande illimitati in quasi tutti i bar dell'isola. Sconsiglio la formula pensione completa perchè in questo caso bevande ed extra sono molto costose. Sconsiglio le jacuzzi beach villas dal numero 101 al 112 perchè un po rumorose vista la vicinanza al molo di attracco delle barche a motore

Hôtel au TopPosted Jun 15, 2015
Nous avons séjourné 10 jours à l'hôtel Meeru pour notre voyage de noces. Services, équipements, excursions et animations au top. Seul bémol, le speedboat pour les transferts depuis l'aéroport vers l'hôtel assez honereux et nous n'avons pas eu de climatisation à l'aller.

Paradise one step from my villa.Posted Jun 8, 2015
Pros: The staff was amazing and the food was part of the experience--my favorites were the Indian and Maldivivian dishes.
Incredibly friendly staff, exquisite location, with opportunities to explore or just enjoy the beauty of the island. Highly recommend the water villas--step into the water from your deck. The bathroom suite with outdoor shower, the ultimate in relaxation.

Beautiful resort, really friendly staff always a smile on there faces esp our waiter Mr Ali. Lots to do 360 pic perfect view even at night you can see the stars. Rooms were very comfy, clean and tidy. Food was excellent. Down sides had to wait extra hour at male airport for the speed boat transfer. Most of the coral reef is dead on the island. But plenty of fishes to see. It will be good if they had a night were they had educational info and importance abt the coral reef as some guest were stepping on the coral reef when we went to the in house reef snorkelling.

Excellent service and Oscar always on hand to talk to. Our friends son love the happy hour drinks but the food was marvellous and salute to all the staff specially in the kitchen
Excellent food! A full range of dishes available and all of them made to perfection.
Every day the menu have 3 new main dishes to offer.
Very friendly staff.
Oweing to the favorable reviews i made a point of checking this place out.
I ate both breakfast and lunch here.
So all the restaurants on bounty beach by filipino standards are getting expensive now.
I was on the island 18months ago and food prices have doubled since then.
Unfortunately quality and service has dropped.
For cheaper options head further...
I lived in Malapascua for almost a year and to be perfectly honest, Oscars (or TSD bar as it's affectionately known) is the one place on Malapascua that I simply could not do without. The menu is not only reasonably priced but it's also diverse and extremely good quality. As a fussy English man I found TSD to be the...
Hidden upstairs from the Thresher Shark Divers, Oscar's was my brother's and my go-to place for chilling out, sipping drinks and trying to stay cool on our recent trip to Malapascua Island. The staff are friendly and provide instant service with a smile.
Without getting the chance to eat there, I can't personally vouch for the food. However, according to...
Located above the Thresher Shark Divers shop Oscars is the perfect location for a few cocktails or a couple of beers after a days diving. With a happy hour that starts around 4 pm and lasts most of the evening and two for one cocktails served with a smile this is a great place to chill and relax.
After the...
If you're looking for delicious and vegetarian (not to mention a great happy hour) look no further!
The food was very reasonably priced and very tasty, especially after a day of diving!
The service was a little slow but always came with a smile and happy hour always ends late!
On a side note I was the only vegetarian at...
Good food but just lacked a little atmosphere. Would go back again as it may have just been a quiet night.
Portions are so large I really think you can get three meals out of one entree!
Food is good and they have daily menu changes which is really nice.
Because I am diving with Thresher Shark Divers I end up eating two meals a day here. You really can't go wrong! The staff is very friendly and the food is...
This restaurant is located on top of TSD so after diving it is a great hang out to enjoy a beer or dinner with your fellow divers.
In between dives there is well working wifi to use while you eat lunch before your afternoon dive.
The staff is really friendly and kind. I was called by my first name by...

Dove, that must have been very interesting
Maureen, can you pm Rosie to find out how to move your plants on from there?
Well done lisa; it looks great
philippa; I built a whole load of staging to go round the back of the house to take pots of herbs; I love doing things like that
Maureen on the other thread can take plants to Shrewsbury soonish; anyone who can take them on from there?
Maureen, what date would that be? I think Rosie is the person to ask about Palletline and Framptons who are the nice haulage companies that are helping the appeal.
It is very kind of you to get involved
SLUG is great
Sat eve bump.
Sat eve bump; am exhausted but triumphant; took a load of cuttings out of their zip-lock bags and they are nearly all viable (I think)
nut, I got a seed packet recently; the pic looks just like normal f-g-m-n but they flower much later in the year.
I can't see why you couldn't mix them, though Chinese for-get-me-nots are a new thing for me; just sowed them for the first time a few weeks ago in pots as I hear they are invasive. They may flower later than Sunflowers though.

Why Are Computers So Bad At Jokes?

Worcester's play-off ordeal reignites relegation debate
They won the Championship by a mile but if they lose to Pirates nobody gets promoted. Chris Hewett asks if there is a better way
Wednesday 11 May 2011
It is the best part of two decades since the touring New Zealanders met the South-West division at Hellfire Corner in Redruth in one of the most insanely physical encounters of the late amateur era: a game watched by so many supporters – at a conservative estimate, the crowd was twice the official ground capacity – that Sean Fitzpatrick, the All Black captain, had to shove people out of the way before throwing to the line-out. Tonight, in front of a small audience surrounding a ploughed field in Penzance, the ambitious Worcester will put their long-term business plan on the line at the end of a second-tier Championship campaign so unloved by the rugby public that they consider the phrase "hopelessly cockeyed" to be a compliment. Whatever this is, it isn't progress.
Consider the situation. After 22 regular season games, Worcester finished top by the small margin of 19 points. They then played six play-off games against sides they had already beaten twice, beating them all again, and a semi-final against Bedford, which they very nearly lost. Now, they must see off the Cornish Pirates in a two-legged final – the second contest will be staged at Sixways a week today – to secure an immediate return to the Premiership, which they vacated in a red mist of sackings and squabblings a year ago. Long-winded? You could say.
But that's not the half of it. Of the four title contenders who emerged from the regular season/play-off concoction, only one – you guessed it, Worcester – were eligible for promotion. Two other clubs in the 12-team division, Bristol and Nottingham, claimed to meet the criteria and asked for a formal audit, but they dropped out of the running at the play-off stage. The other nine, Pirates included, did not bother with an audit of any description. Should the Cornishmen prevail at the end of the 160-minute final, no one will go up and Leeds will escape relegation by default. Unsurprisingly, the tournament remains unsponsored.
This being a Rugby Football Union production – the current system was introduced by Twickenham at the start of last season and will continue next term in an even longer form, with two-legged semi-finals to go with the elongated final – there is a lot at stake, a lot of face to be saved. The latest big hitter from the governing body to mount a defence of the competition is Rob Andrew, who has spent almost 20 years at the heart of domestic rugby politics and is all too familiar with the acute aches and pains associated with creating a viable structure for the professional club game in England.
"You have to remember how we got here," says Andrew, who is currently moving into a new job as the union's director of rugby operations. "When we cut the second division from 16 clubs to 12 to improve quality, there were the usual concerns about the financial consequences of a fall in home fixtures. That has been a focus of every "season structure" discussion I've ever been involved in, and I've been involved in lots. Also, we wanted to give as many teams as possible the chance to chase promotion. Under the old "first-past-the-post" system, the club coming down from the Premiership with a big parachute payment had a massive advantage. Did we really want what was effectively a 13-team Premiership, with the relegated side always going straight back up again?
"What we're trying to do is balance two things: we want the best side to be promoted, but we want to give more than one team a shot at being the best side. Under the play-off system, that happens – at least to a degree. It's a system that gave Exeter a realistic chance of promotion last year. They took that chance with both hands, and look where they are now. And you have to say that the Worcester-Bedford semi-final the other day was the best piece of rugby theatre we've seen all season. It's not a perfect fix, as we all know. But I think it's unfair to suggest that it doesn't have its merits."
All this feeds into a bigger question concerning promotion and relegation: namely, does it have any place in a sport where the Premiership clubs expect to lose a total of £19m this term and see no way of increasing investment in a difficult financial climate without ring-fencing themselves into the top flight? While promotion-relegation is routinely said to be sacrosanct for another five seasons under the existing agreement between the RFU and the clubs, Andrew thinks there may be some wriggle room.
"I don't think it's likely to change, but if the clubs really want to sit down and talk it through, we'll talk," he says. "This issue crops up twice a year, every year: initially at Christmas, when two or three teams at the bottom start worrying about relegation, and again around now, when we know the identity of the major side facing the drop. We've been having this discussion for 15 years and it never moves. Yes, there are obvious commercial advantages to ring-fencing, provided you're one of the clubs fenced in. Are there rugby advantages? We don't know, because we haven't tried it. What we do know is that we have more exciting young English talent playing Premiership rugby now than we've ever had before. Why? Because our agreement with the clubs, with its financial emphasis on the development of home-grown players, is working.
"When the sport turned professional, English club rugby went down the private investor road. I happen to think it's delivered a huge amount for the game: if we'd had franchises from the start, or moved to a franchise system in 1999 when the clubs were haemorrhaging money, would we have a Worcester or an Exeter now? Probably not. But when a sport is private investor-led, there is a risk attached.
"Suddenly, people are saying it's down to the RFU to help Leeds. But where do you start, and where do you end? Should we also be helping Sale, or pumping money into Cornwall? If I sat down with the 12 Premiership chairmen and another dozen from the Championship clubs and asked them where we should be going, I'd get 24 different answers. The one really strong argument is the one against killing off ambition, especially among the second tier of clubs. Do that, and you end up seriously weakened."

It's a bit more likely that a new Wii will be revealed by 2011 than by ... tomorrow. What They Play's John Davison reports that some developers have already seen an early version of the next Wii, something they're unofficially calling the "Wii HD." According to these shadowy sources, the new console will include some kind of "local storage medium" and high-definition video output.
Davison cites Nintendo's skyrocketing research and development costs as evidence of this new console's development, but we don't even think that's necessary. There's no reason to believe Nintendo isn't readying the next console. What isn't so easy to determine is whether anyone has actually seen it yet, or if we're being told what we want to hear.
