My daughter plays college softball and the bat has to be USSSA approved for the 2014/2015 season. Is this bat approved and does it have the stamp on it?
The 2014 Anderson RockeTech FP Fastpitch Softball Bat (KRKTFP) has the USSSA 1,20 BPF stamp on it. It is legal for college softball.
What is the BPF of the Rocktech bat?
The BPF or Bat Performance Factor on the 2014 Anderson RockeTech FP (KRKTFP) is 1.20.
My daughter has the 2012 RockeTech, and I am looking to buy her another one. My question is, should I stay with the 2012 bat that she has had great success with? Or, should I buy the 2014 Rocketech? Are they the same bat?
The 2014 Anderson RockeTech FP: (KRKTFP) will be extremely similar, however, it will have updated material and technology to help boost performance. The 2014 model will include all-metal, multi-wall alloy, and will incorporate Internal PowerArch Technology to help create more momentum off of the barrel. This model was also designed to have a lower MOI allowing players to swing faster. Ultimately, this model will have updated technology in comparison to the 2012 model. However, these changes were intended to make this model more powerful and durable.
Product Description
Designed for power and durability, the RockeTech is THE bat to own if you're a softball enthusiast. Anderson's design and use of high performance materials deliver superior performance that will maintain a solid feel throughout the bat's life. This is due in part to the new all-metal, multi-wall alloy used on the RockeTech. Anderson abandons conventional thinking when it comes to the multi-wall by introducing Internal PowerArch Technology to the RockeTech. This technology incorporates an arched interior sleeve design to generate maximum legal performance and an optimized moment of inertia (M.O.I.). A lower M.O.I. allows players to swing faster, which results in more power behind every swing! The RockeTech also features a TaperFlex Contour and TrueFlex End Cap that both aid in vibration reduction. Both of these integral parts also strengthen the barrel and keep energy locked in. Holding it all together, Anderson's Grooved Assembly System locks and fortifies the shell, sleeve, and end cap, providing increased barrel elasticity and superior durability. With an ultra-thin whip handle, SG-I Sport Grip, and weldless ergonomic knob, the RockeTech feels better in your hands than any bat ever has. Anderson: Manufactured With Pride in the U.S.A.! The Anderson RockeTech is backed by a Full Six (6) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Though I once believed in the dogma of universalism, I have by the grace of God escaped.
AM, you presented your view respectfully, and I'd like to respectfully ask you how you came to your recent conclusions. Also, were you ever absolutely convinced regarding UR, or more so strongly leaning in that direction? I may be wrong, but it seems I remember getting a feel from some of your posts in the past that you were perhaps not a "staunch" UR believer.
nevermind.just gonna send this to pm's.
Maybe he just needs to take a step back, I think it would be respectful to let him do that. I don't think we ought to be speculating and presuming too much...which is what I see a lot of here and on the prayer thread you started. It just doesn't seem like the right thing to do. Yes, someone pm'ed you with a different opinion, but it doesn't mean that my opinion is suddenly invalid.Just because someone agrees with you, don't think that it just cancels out what others have to say.It almost seems like you are trying to force him to come back to defend himself. Do you understand what I mean, Martin? If a person chooses to leave... that's their choice. You can't strong arm them into coming back. sorry, but this is just the way this has all seemed to me. peace.

Tim Cook says iPad will eventually outsell PCs
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Bill Shope, Apple COO Tim Cook suggested during a meeting that the tablet market -- which is currently dominated by the iPad -- could eclipse the PC market over the next several years.
Shope says, "the company appeared more overtly optimistic on the long-term prospects for the iOS platform than it has been in quite some time." Cook said, "he sees no reason why the tablet market shouldn't eclipse the PC market over the next several years," according to Shope's note.
Analysts say a lot of things, and Cook's words do seem a little far-fetched, but given Apple's growth in the tablet market (which they essentially created) it's not completely unheard of. Shope calculates Apple could sell 8.1 million iPads for the June quarter, which would represent a 72% increase year-over-year.
So how long before the iPad starts putting the stomp on PC sales? Sound off in the comments!

Tim Cook says iPad will eventually outsell PCs
this will not happen although I do see the tablet market surpassing the PC market. I think though that in a years time Android will be on more tablets than iOS will. As the hardware gets better and the prices come down (which they already area) apple will lose some market share just like they have in the mobile phone market
It is going to put an increasingly large hurt on PC sales, but eclipse them? Even assuming a future iPad does not require a PC to activate, this still will not happen without some fundamental changes in Apple's developer approach. The majority of PC sales are still to businesses, and the iPad, while great, is not a one-size-fits-all device. A plurality of these businesses require some type of custom software, or off-the-shelf-software that is customized after purchase, of the type that either cannot be made on and iPad, or cannot be made and deployed easily.
Yes, I am fully aware of the Enterprise Development program, but that is nowhere near what vertical apps need. It also applies only to the large outfits that have their own in-house staffs (or contractors). It does nothing for the small business (plumber, medical practice, retail outlet) at all. Of course, the quality of the average iOS app is much greater than that of the average VB app, but those VB (and now, .NET) apps sold -- and continue to sell -- a lot of systems to businesses both large and small.
Most of these flaws are more process than technical, though, so Apple could certainly correct these if they want those markets. Right now, though, they can't keep up with demand as it is, so they will not bother. In the future, if/when Android/Windows8/RIM tablets correct their own technical flaws and make a credible move after those markets, Apple will change. But not before.
Actually it is completely unheard of. As was mentioned, the majority of PC sales are still for business use. As fun as tablets are for home use, they are simply inadequate for day to day business use. You simply cannot work an 8 hour day on a tablet, it would be uncomfortable and unproductive. You could attach a keyboard and external screen to it... but then is it really a tablet anymore? Furthermore, businesses are tied to their current legacy systems, as much as they may hate it, and migrating to a platform as drastically different as a tablet, would be a major and costly move. So unless there is any benefit in for them, they won't be in any hurry to ditch PCs in favour of tablets.
I could however, see tablets overtake the Personal PC sales segment. Tablets are at the point that for your average Joe, they almost do everything you do on a day to day basis. Internet, Email, basic Word Processing, and simple Gaming. We might see the personal PC resigned to just gamers and enthusiasts as the tablet becomes the personal device of choice.
Flash has nothing to do with sales. Personally I'd like flash on Apple devices like my touch(Actually I have it on my Droid Incredible)
On the other hand while flash is widely used it's terrible and very memory hoarding. Like say.....iTunes. Heh.
Tablet sales going over PC is a bit farfetched though. I can see the whole cell phone market outgrowing the PC market. At this point tablets are more luxury or middle of the road than neccesary in world society compared to a PC, laptop, or cell phone.
So it could happen. But not soon.
8.1 million units in a single quarter is an astounding number for a new-genre product that has only been on the market for a little over a year. That's already ~10% of PC sales in a 12 month period (not factoring quarterly growth), when the 'PC' has been on the market for over 30 years now. It has already been speculated that PC sales may see a decline y/y in 2011 and moving into 2012.
Not to mention, Cook suggested this could happen in several years from now -- not tomorrow morning people ;)
How many PCs were sold the 1st quarter of the second year they were out, hmm? Yeah, I thought so.
I would day I could see this happen because with all due honesty tablets power will continue to grow and maybe even catch up to PC ( if not then at least to netbooks and laptops) . Also main word in this story is ECLIPSE ! there will always be a NEED for a PC however with the rise in computing power of smartphones and tablet , there will be less need to update a PC because people will do a lot more computing on mobile devIces
Exactly... and this is the main reason I won't get a tablet unless it can be used as a standalone device, without any need for a computer.
That is the situation now for the iPad. That can easily be changed in the future, look at the Blackberry Playbook, it does not need a computer to be activiated, all it needs is an internet connection.
As for media, there is not much you can do without iTunes (except for downloading from the app store). If the iPad adds support to external backup and media is managed directly on the device, it would eliminate the need for a PC (in terms of being to function on its own).
Over time the dependancy obstacles can be overcome.
According to Canalys, 5 notebooks or 5 netbooks will not be sold for every 10 tablets sold. Deloitte predicts tablets and smartphones will outsell computers in 2011.
While the tablet industry is in its infancy (let's just forget about MS's 10 years of failure), with growing power and, thus, capabilities, there is little to believe that the computer in ten years will look like the lame boxes and towers we use today.
As for requiring a computer for an iPad, not true. Just ask your salesperson at the Apple Store to assist you with setting it up.
As for Flash, I think Walt Mossberg says it best at the 1:40 point.http://online.wsj.com/video/d9-video-adobe-ceo----flash-war-is-over/7425...ArticleVideocarousel_1
Besides, didn't Adobe raise the white flag?http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/04/adobe-throws-in-towel-adopts-h...
They really need to stop with this idealistic "tablet takeover". Tablets will NEVER replace the PC. Tablet parts can't be swapped out for newer parts. You want a faster tablet and more memory, you have to buy a new one, you can't open it up and swap out the parts yourself. We will more likely see an evolution in laptops, with touch screen monitors that can swivel around to become tablets. While desktops get touch screen monitors. Because not all programs can be controlled on screen, some require a mouse and keyboard.
And tablets still require a PC to load media onto it, snyc and back up. Tablets don't ever have USB ports, at least with a USB port you can hook up an external CD drive if needed. Tablets are still an expensive ereader that plays movies and has a gimped web browser.
I agree. Besides upgrading, the biggest issue is replacing broken parts, such as the screen or a dead battery. There will always be a need for PC muscle, but for browsing the web, and watching videos, a tablet is fine. Look at the Playbook, it can be hooked up to a monitor via hdmi, and a keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth, which would allow editing of documents and spreadsheets as easily on a regular PC.
Anyway, a tablet is just a PC without a physical keyboard and the processing power.

Tomato Cages, Set of 4

Super-Sturdy Tomato Cages Support Heavy Yields
- Extra-strong tomato cages keep tomato plants upright for a bigger, cleaner harvest
- Big, 8" square openings make harvesting easy
- Hinged panels fold flat for compact storage
Longtime customer favorites, our heavy-duty, powder-coated steel tomato cages are taller, wider and stronger than old-fashioned cone-shaped supports. And unlike flimsier versions, these are strong enough to support full-grown vines loaded with tomatoes. The tomato cages support plants on all sides (no tying needed) and keep plants up off the ground for better air circulation, cleaner fruit and fewer diseases. Large openings make harvesting easy, and the cages fold flat for off-season storage. In windy locations, we recommend anchoring with our Extra-Tall Earth Staples, sold separately.
- Powder-coated steel
- 14-3/8" square x 39" H including 7" legs; 32" H installed

Interesting post. Quite a contrast to the "re-review" just posted on this site, in that the above post sounds like it is from someone who has played the game extensively and the re-review sounds like it has been written by someone who has played the game for around 10 hours.
I was already writing this when the first PotBS article "Looking at the Early Game" was posted to the front page. At that point I did attempt to contact persons with this site about possibly using mine as a veteran perspective and opposing viewpoint of that post. I suppose the reason I didn't receive a response was because of this second article, so I just posted it to the forums anyway.

great article. it's a shame they don't listen to their playerbase about glaring issues. i played this game in beta, and waited to purchase it for a few months post release but only subbed for maybe two months. I left mainly because I felt alone, and bored. mabye its me but i can't stand a grind to get to the "good" part of the game. i'd like to have fun from the start... which is was for a few missions. but questing alone got boring eventually and just wasn't that fun to me.

shame it would have been a great article if you had refrained from posting your personal feelings on the patches and instead limited it to the facts and let people draw their own conclusions.
first of, the re-introduction of invalid ships - whilst unpopular to the perhaps pirates who accumulated them, it cannot be seen as anything rather than beneficial for the game and population balance. and its not as if they lost the ship - they can still use it but with a higher degree of risk.
and yes, they were received well : http://www.burningsea.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66535
your assertion that dismantle shot got nerfed is also wrong:
Increased the range multiplier on Bar Shot from 85% -> 90%.
what they did is increase their range and decrease their strength to bring some ships which are intented for long range combat back into play; as well as the need for bar shot which was pretty much useless before.
Actually, I've been following the FLS forums very closely, and I would have to say that invalid ships returning and disabling shot are seeing both kinds of reactions, positive and negative. I also don't think you fully read the discussion in the links you provided, if you think all the reactions were positive (there were 51 pages btw).

besides it was rediculous no matter how many or how good sail resistant upgrades you installed on your ship half your sale's health was gone with one broadside.

Both of the above changes are positive, the invalid flag won't bother those that like to PVP & there are plenty of alternative ships for those that don't.
The dismantling sail/mast shot has been way too powerful crippling even the best armoured ships in no time, the Nerf in the next patch is long overdue & should prolong PvP to make it much more enjoyable.
FLS big mistake was to launch with too many servers & they have been paying for it ever since.
I actually think the Invalid Flag returning is a good thing, but some players may not even be aware of this being back. The point is that it should never have been removed. This also is going to be something causing changes to gameplay, especially true of people who work the economy because it makes invalid hauling ships and maybe will mean less Port Battles with Pirates in 1st rates.

Bought the game on neweg for 5 bucks figured if nothing else it be good add to station pass.Installed from the dvds an went to patch an it was slow.. went to station launcher for the patch an it was slow. next morning not even half was threw i read about uninstalling the dvd game then fresh install from the station patcher...
So one day later i get it downloaded.Im on dsl but it was slow 160kbs was max i could get from the station launcher.Now been playing for two days.So far so good.Fun game .
Still trying to figure out deeds an land an other parts of the game but haveing a blast.Popiulation day time est is solid medioum looks like.I run into players an am in a society now as well.
As far as the avatar combat goes .. its not that bad .From reading the reviews here on this forum i was expecting something lagy an choppy an a pain to get threw.Its not bad at all. no auto faceing tho but thats ok.in 2 short days i have had more fun than when i tried CO..ok thats not saying much but its better game than some of the reviews let on.

O human race born to fly upward, wherefore at a little wind dost thou fall.
I like the game. I enjoy playing it every once and a while. I feel that a lot of people take "Games" way too seriously. It isn't your game. If you don't like it then go play another game. "Games" don't betray you or stab you in the back. Devs just have a different vision than you. Get over it.

You only have to have an average post count or mention the obvious games flaws more than once & you are accused of trolling.
If FLS had focused more time on putting some of them right instead of covering things up I believe the game would have succeeded. The dev team has struggled to even fix broken content & some of the odd feature implementations or lack of is very apparent.
Despite all that I liked the game, as it turned out I felt very much stabbed in the back!

I think one problem is that the game can be very unfriendly to new players, I tried to play this game several months ago, maybe longer and it got to the point I wasnt able to go anywhere due to the fact that high level players thought it would be a good idea to gank the crap out of new players. This put me, and Im sure alot of other players who would of been happy to play this game off. It really got to the point where I was tottaly unable to do anything due to the high level ganking.
When players are allowed to do this, it hurts the game from new players joining, and thus cuts into the games customer base as frustrated players go elsewhere to spend their money. Dont get me wrong, Im all for pvp but there should have been restrictions put in placed to prevent new players from being tottaly destroied by high levels each time they leave the early ports of the game.

I really think if they would have had their way it would have been a 100% ship based Pvp game. Instead they half listened to opinion polls etc... and threw in the avatar combat & red circle only Pvp system. Neither of which totally worked.
Avatar was needed, since in every pirate movie you watch you have boarding actions (and I think the original system was better than what they have now) and the red zones should have been flipped so the Pvp action was in the open sea and the ports were safe zones (as it would have been in RL).
But that's not what we got. I recently did the 14 day trial and was amazed at the bugs etc... that are still in the game from 2008. FLS needs to stop pushing out new and work at fixing the old. It's actually a really good game that could be a whole lot better.

This has always been a problem and has been one of the nr. 1 reasons players have left. It's also a good example of FLS only taking a half step to fix the problem, which isn't a fix at all. 'Oh ganking newbies!, well let's fix that by not giving any rewards to the older players if they kill the new'. So instead, you now have it just for the shear 'fun' of it. Although I'm at a loss to understand have a MC end capped Xebec sinking a lvl 2 starter ship consitutes 'fun'.

it shdnt be too hard to make up a good system that encourages faction against faction PVP but either eliminates or else harshly punishes those who play in such a way that their actions make newer players /deleteaccount.
Eve and L2 both do this with the sec-status/concordokkening system and the chaotic-characters-drop-their-gear system respectively.
I hope FLS do something about this soon, because it really is very close to being a great game.
and no, btw i'm not a care-bear but a 2007 eve player in a 0.0 alliance.

I desperately wanted to like this game as I was a pirate history buff long before anyone even heard of Johnny Depp. In the end the all-instance combat system that worked so well for Guild Wars just doesn't work with ships on the ocean and I'll be amazed if someone can find a way to make a non-instanced version work. And now it's going free-to-suck. :)
Now we're calling prostitutes "sex workers". What's next? Calling hit men "end-of-life technicians"?
In your long post I do not see any major flaws that would lead to the failure of the game. I see some short sighted inconveniences and some flawed experiements that were reverted. But not major flaws. Also, your suggestions are very time and money consuming, almost as much as making new game.
This is, or could be, EvE in setting much more appealing to masses and with actual avatars and actual quests but it did not succeed much. The reasons are not what you listed, at all. But what are they? Maybe people just do not want games with meaningfull PvP, even if they can avoid PvP with some effort.
Me, I do not like how ships do not have masts, how crew regenerates, how you get stats on gear, how easy is to buy a ship and other vastly unrealistic MMO cliches, not to say that there really was not all that much to historical ship combat once the engagement started.

As with all of our cloud-based security solutions, McAfee SaaS Email Encryption offers enterprise-level performance to help organizations with data loss prevention and email data protection. Designed with the business users in mind, SaaS Email Encryption is an easy-to-activate and easy-to-manage solution built on a foundation of trusted and proven standards-based encryption technologies. Together with deep content inspection capabilities, pre-built extensive compliance libraries help speed the time to demonstrating compliance, ranging from regulatory, regional, or corporate requirements. SaaS Email Encryption is available as an addition to SaaS Email Protection and Continuity.
Identify sensitive data quickly with built-in compliance templates — In addition to regular expression technology to identify keywords and phrases, SaaS Email Encryption has hundreds of pre-built data loss prevention rules that are also included in McAfee Data Loss Prevention, enabling you to leverage advanced data loss protection and compliance capabilities from our industry-leading technology. Features include the ability to fingerprint and register documents to detect and block key documents — or even select language from within those documents — from being emailed out of the organization.
Drive consistency with customizable, policy-driven encryption — As an IT administrator, you can use the unified, web-based console to set, review, and customize privacy policies (policy-driven encryption), so confidential content is automatically encrypted. You can also customize and enforce multiple policies for respective user groups, branch offices, and lines of business.
Easy-to-use translates to an elevated security posture — Technology is only as useful as its adoption, and SaaS Email Encryption was designed with that in mind. Simply send your email and the content, including over 300 attachment types, is automatically scanned and encrypted if it matches the policy set by the administrator. This occurs transparently behind the scenes. You can also tag your email to be encrypted by simply adding "[encrypt]" to the subject line or within the message body. As a recipient, you can retrieve the message from the web-based message pick-up portal (pull encryption) or read an encrypted message that was sent to your inbox through a browser reader (push encryption). When you reply, the message will also be encrypted, providing you with bidirectional protection.

Assure your customers, partners, and employees that emails tagged to contain sensitive data will not be visible to prying eyes.

ATHENS -- Four University of Georgia varsity sports teams have been publicly recognized by the NCAA for outstanding achievement in the annual NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) report.
The recognition honors teams that scored in the top ten percent of all teams across the country in each sport. Three of the four Bulldog teams scored a perfect 1000: gymnastics, women's swimming and diving, and men's golf. The UGA men's basketball team scored a 990.
"It's very gratifying to see these teams rewarded for their efforts, and achievements, in the academic mission of the Athletic Association," said Director of Athletics Greg McGarity.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention, and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
The NCAA will release its full APR report on June 11.
