Baron Davis' Digitus Annularis
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 10/20/08, 08:11am:
From J.A. Adande at ESPN.com:
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Baron Davis will visit a specialist Monday to examine his injured left ring finger. One possible recommendation could be surgery that would sideline Davis for four to six weeks, an NBA source said.
Davis injured the finger in practice Friday. The initial diagnosis was a sprained ligament; X-rays revealed there was not a broken bone. However, there is a possibility that there could be a ruptured tendon in the finger, which would require surgical repair. If surgery is not necessary, it still could take up to three weeks for Davis to recuperate and return to action.
"It doesn't feel good," Davis said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "It's not comfortable, not a comfortable feeling. ... The good thing is that it is the preseason, so you can deal with all your bumps and bruises early."The Clippers open the regular season on Oct. 29 against the Lakers. A three-week absence would keep Davis out of action for the first six games.
Lisa Dillman reported on the story in Saturday's LAT. Meanwhile, in the frontcourt...
The wait to see the Clippers' Marcus Camby -- in a real-time game, that is -- will apparently be longer than previously expected.
Camby, plagued by a bruised right heel, on Sunday effectively ruled himself out for the remainder of the exhibition season. He was speaking at Staples Center after the Clippers defeated FC Barcelona, 114-109, their fourth victory in five exhibition games.
"They're shutting me down, resting me," Camby said. "Double treatments a day. . . . Hopefully, I can be all right opening night. That's my goal."
Clearly, Davis is the more valuable player. But, in some sense, Camby's absence presents more of a challenge for the Clippers -- in that the depth chart at PG is pretty cut-and-dry. Hart will start in Baron's place, and Taylor will log more minutes as sole backup.
But the hole Camby leaves up front if he were to be out for an extended period of time is far more daunting. Tim Thomas would be the obvious insert for Camby in the Clippers' starting lineup...except that he's suffering from a groin strain. That would leave the Clippers with a couple of possible options. [1] They could slide Al Thornton back to the 4, where he played out of position for much of last season. Dunleavy could then put Ricky Davis at the 3. This would actually be the most potent offensive option for the Clippers up front, but they'd be sacrificing a lot of size and -- let's face it -- wherewithal defensively. Davis isn't a bad ball defender in isolation, but he's an unrepentant space cadet on team defense. [2] If this bothered Dunleavy, he could go with Cuttino Mobley and Eric Gordon at the wings. That's not a horrible short-term option against smaller teams because Mobley does solid work defensively against opposing SFs. But Cat is starting to appear creaky, and playing him at the 3 should be regarded merely as a stopgap measure. [3] Dunleavy could play either Paul Davis or Brian Skinner up front. This wouldn't be a terrible option -- provided Baron Davis were healthy. But given what the Clips are already giving up offensively with Baron out, it's an impossibility. Fielding a Hart-Mobley-R.Davis-P.Davis-Kaman lineup would be disastrous. So the combined absence of Baron Davis-Marcus Camby will force Dunleavy to go with either option [1] or [2], which means the Clippers will forfeit one of their notable strengths -- size up front. The result could be very ugly on both ends.

Galileo, Europe's GPS, opens up business opportunities and makes life easier for citizens Publicat la data de: 24/07/2013
Today a public demonstration of how the four satellites of the EU's satellite navigation system Galileo can independently and highly accurately determine a position on the Earth's surface took place in the Galileo Control Centre in Fucino, Italy.

This position fix of longitude, latitude and altitude is a concrete proof of Galileo's ability to provide highly accurate positioning data. The availability of this data is crucial to providers who will create the derived services we ultimately expect from Galileo. As the benefits of Galileo become tangible the next step is for industry providers to start preparing for future market opportunities.
Galileo underpins Europe's economy
Europe needs Galileo to strengthen its economic development and reinforce the resilience of the European economic structure, especially against the current context of the European economic crisis.
Today, positioning and timing signals provided by satellite navigation systems are used in many critical areas of the economy, including power grid synchronization, electronic trading and mobile phone networks, effective road, sea and air traffic management, in-car navigation, search and rescue service to mention but a few examples.
According to market studies, it is estimated that already 6-7% of Europe's GDP in 2009, or €800 billion, relies on satellite navigation signals provided currently by the US GPS and this dependency is increasing. With Galileo, Europe
is will be able to exploit the opportunities provided by satellite navigation to
a much greater extent than otherwise possible.
Galileo in short: accuracy, innovative services, availability, precision
Better accuracy: Galileo offers three Open Service signals, each of them
providing more information and in larger bands than the unique narrow-band
current GPS civil signal. These improvements allow better accuracy and better
signal tracking for end users, so better navigation.
Boost the growth of innovative services: The diversity of the Galileo open signals will permit even more innovation in navigation receivers and applications, from cell-phones to very high accuracy navigation and time receivers, from standalone to assisted and hybridised navigation, from fixed to real-time high-speed usage. Galileo will boost the growth of satellite navigation services.
Availabiliy of signals: In a combined GPS-Galileo use, as compared to GPS alone, the higher number of satellites available to the user will improve the availability of signals in high-rise cities as well as in mountain regions where buildings/hills can obstruct signals from satellites that are low on the horizon.
High precision: Galileo offers also a Commercial Service signal that will allow global high-end and innovative applications based on few centimetres accuracy and signal.
€124 bn market value to increase to €244 bn by 2020
The global annual market for global navigation satellite products and services is currently valued at 124 billion Euros and is expected to grow over the next decade, leading to an estimated market size of €244 billion in 2020.
Like the Internet, a global navigation satellite system is a service enabler rather than a standalone service. It acts as a catalyst for economic activities, leading to the creation of added value and jobs in a wide range of connected sectors (upstream and downstream markets) and at macroeconomic level through socio-economic benefits for society as a whole.
The expected benefits of Galileo and EGNOS can be divided into three main components:
Thanks to global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), new business opportunities are developing. Innovative uses of satellite navigation
are emerging, such as advanced driver assistance systems, assistance for the
elderly and the blind, transport vehicle fleet management and road user charging systems. Most of these applications will only become possible with the increased precision of Galileo. The cumulative direct benefits emanating from the GNSS downstream market are estimated to amount to €14 billion over the next 20 years.
Thanks to new applications made possible by Galileo, businesses will benefit from more efficient production processes. For example, agriculture will gain increased crop productivity through more accurate seeding and spraying of fertilizers which in turn helps protect the environment and can lead to increased food production.
All sectors of the economy will gain from increased speed of delivery of
goods to customers, with reduced impact on the environment as well as greater safety for road users.
Investment in the development of Galileo supports hundreds of European companies ranging from multi-billion-euro conglomerates to specialised SMEs. Most of the funds spent on the Galileo and EGNOS programmes flow directly into the European economy.
In addition, the technological advances that come about as a result of research & development investment in the space industry are transferred to firms in other sectors in the form of 'spill-over' effects. Research by Oxford
Economics suggests that such spill-over effects are very large, with R&D investment by the aerospace sector generating a social return of around 70% - i.e. every €100 million invested in R&D leads to an increase in GDP of €70 million in the longer term in other sectors (e.g. health and medicine, transport, computer science).
The overall economic impact is estimated to be around 90 billion euro over the next 20 years (source: GSA studies Market Monitoring and Forecasting).

Skyrocketing fuel prices have impacted the cost of owning and operating a vehicle, and as the cost of vehicle ownership soars, the need for Right to Repair legislation has become more critical in order to protect consumers from the added costs that would be created by a vehicle repair monopoly.
Vehicle technology is becoming increasingly complex with virtually every system either monitored or controlled by computers. Without full access to complete and accurate repair information from the car companies, neighborhood shops will not be able to compete, creating a repair monopoly where the affordable and convenient repairs currently available to car owners are sacrificed to increase profits for the car companies.
The cost to consumers when they can only have their car repaired at the dealership is estimated to be as much as 25 percent higher with labor charges alone, according to a study comparing dealer repair tags with those of an independent service center.
Without right to repair legislation, many motorists may forgo important vehicle repairs due to higher dealer repair costs. This situation would be exacerbated if there is no dealership in the vicinity, dramatically increasing the cost of fuel and the travel time.
To ensure that your neighborhood repair shop has the same access to safety alerts and repair information as the new car dealer network, Congress introduced the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act (H.R. 2694). They understand that if motorists are forced back to the dealer for service and repairs, particularly if there is no dealership in their area, convenient and affordable auto repair will become a thing of the past.
Right to Repair merely seeks to restore a system that has been in place since the invention of the automobile. Clearly, using advances in technology to deny consumers their right to choose where they have their car repaired is a misuse of these computers and certainly not in the consumer's best interest.
Please send a letter to each of your congressional representatives, urging them to support the Right to Repair Act (H.R. 2694) by adding their names to the growing list of co-sponsors.

Detailed Description:
Around 75% of all in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments fail in providing a healthy baby at home. Most of the women undergoing those techniques suffer in some extent anxiety, depression and stress. Stress make IVF results worse and it has been prove by correlating cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline levels with failed cycles. Acupuncture has proved its ability to reduce stress levels. Moreover, Acupuncture has prove to have an effect inhibitory on the sympathetic system and this capacity improves vascularization in uterus and ovaries. Available literature concerning these two issues is not conclusive because of studies design. Acupuncture´s biological mechanism on controlled ovarian stimulation and embryo transfer has not been completely described; if it really has one. Published studies show very different designs and inconclusive/contradictory results can be withdrawn making very difficult to take the clinical decision of recommending acupuncture or not to in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients. If acupuncture really enhance pregnancy rates in IVF cycles still unanswered given that no randomized three arms study comparing no intervention to sham acupuncture to acupuncture has been published.

Antonietta Brandeis Self Portrait
I recently purchased a drawing that is supposedly a self portrait. She appears quite young. On the verso there is a character sketch with some critiques in what looks like French as well as the artist working on her signature over and over again in different styles. I know that early on Antonietta studied under the Czech artist Karel Javurek in Prague. Karel studied under Thomas Coutoure in France and often there was French influence in his paintings. It helps to understand why there is French on a piece created by an artist who painted in Italy and the Czech Republic. Does it seem plausible that this piece was done while under the tutelage of Karel Javurek? How do you put a value to a piece like this? I have never purchased a piece like this so any help or guidance is very appreciated. Thank you.

Tissue Engineering is the science of growing replacement organs and tissue in the lab to replace damaged or diseased tissue. The process usually starts with a three-dimensional structure called a scaffold that is used to support cells as they grow and develop. Skin, blood vessels, bladders, trachea, esophagus, muscle and other types of tissue have been successfully engineered; and some of these tissues have already been used in treating human disease.
Solid organs -- such as the liver, kidney, heart and pancreas -- are especially challenging and are considered the "Holy Grail" of tissue engineering. Scientists at the Institute are working on a variety of strategies to engineer solid organs.

Game Two Preview
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 04/24/06, 03:34pm:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
Clipperblog had a chance to take a look at some game tape over lunch and found a few nagging details from Saturday night that need to be addressed early in Game Two:
- It gets said a lot, but Denver plays its best basketball in transition. I wrote on Sunday morning that Andre Miller did most of his damage off of high screens and that was true in the half court, but in transition he was able to weave through the front court, then spin away from our bigs. Let me also say that the Clippers need to find a better way to defend the Camby/Elson on-ball screen up top than a Kaman/Brand switch. Miller killed them. The problem, of course, is that neither Cassell nor Mobley is quick enough to run under the screen.
- Brand has to hit face-up jumpers. There's no fancy basketball theory here. He just needs to hit from 15.
- Go to Kaman early. In addition to getting Chris into the flow of the game (I hate that cliché), it disrupts Denver's break. They love getting out on missed jumpers, but banging down low favors the Clips.
- Dunleavy needs to figure out what he's doing with the second team at the 2/3. I'm a huge Quinton Ross apologist because I feel that winning basketball teams must have players on the floor who don't need the ball. Bruce Bowen. Ben Wallace. Dennis Rodman. Rick Fox. The glue guys. The defenders. The Clippers have four legitimate offensive options in the starting lineup. The Dallas Mavericks of recent years will tell you that the difference between having four and five scorers is negligible in the greater context of playoff basketball. Now it's no secret that Ross can be effective for only 25 minutes or so, but who's next? Corey? Vlad? Singleton?
Corey clearly makes the most sense, but I'm not sure his game dovetails with what the Clippers need - namely someone who can help spread the floor, someone who can control the tempo and someone who will defend in the halfcourt. You want to see something really ugly? Watch Denver's offensive set at 3:08 in slow motion. Watch Maggette hedge on the Patterson screen. Then, as Camby drives from the top of the lane into the Brand/Rebraca double team, what does Corey do? He inexplicably leaves Patterson alone on the baseline to join the morass in the paint. Camby finds Kobestopper for the slam. Atrocious. You can see Cassell glaring at him after the play. Two possessions later off the Radmanovic missed layup, Patterson devours Maggette in transition. Ruben gets the bucket and draws the foul on Maggette. I'm tempted to suggest this means Corey needs to be playing the small forward. Only problem - Corey on 'Melo is a recipe for disaster. I hope he bounces back tonight and finds his niche in the series. Corey can be a devastatingly potent weapon and physical on the other end when he wants to be.
- Pass the damned ball down the stretch (also -- Mike, throw some new stuff in the mix). It was rigor mortis out there in the fourth quarter because our screens were for shit. Watch the final eighteen minutes and all you see is Denver trap and recover with ease on every pick and roll. (Have I mentioned recently how great Tivo is?) The Clippers try to mix up the side screen roll by having Cassell go left instead of dumping to Brand in the high post -- 'Melo is ready and waiting. If you watch the tape, though, Kaman has a mismatch on the block time and time again. The old chestnut, "take what the defense gives you" rings true here - and when Denver's bigs step out on Brand at the elbow, they're essentially ceding Kaman. When Chris made that layup at 4:10, do you know who was guarding him? Earl friggin Boykins. K-Mart tried to close, but ended up fouling Kaman instead. That was one of the only intelligible sets the Clips ran in the final five minutes.
It's worth mentioning that K-Mart played some tremendous defense down the stretch and Camby was exceptional, too. This is going to be a phenomenal series.

snprintf(temp_char_pointer, MAX_SIZE, "%ul", integer);
isn't that the easiest itoa() function ?
Here's the thing, I'm writting a transport system which uses SLIP, and along side my payload I would like to send the length of the payload to correctly asembel the file on the otherside and other cool stuff, but I can't directly throw in a int of the default size 1024, since that causes al kinds of problems.
So I figured that I could use atoi to turn it from ascii to int - which solves half the problem, is there a itoa function or how do we go about fetching the length of the array and putting it into the array?
I figured that strlen(array) would give me the correct length and then what do we do to convert this into the chars '1' '0' '2' '4', of course we need to do this dynamically because of the possiblity of the last payload message not being 1024 chars. so I figure if we can do it like that, the problem will be solved and I can go about my life.
thx in advance

RANGELEY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -Maine Wardens are still having trouble getting airboat equipment into open water on Rangeley Lake due to winds.
"This is as extreme of conditions as we've done for a search in a long time," said Lt. Kevin Adam of the Maine Warden Service.
"It's tough on people, and it's tough on equipment," he said.
Crews had to wait until Thursday afternoon to resume search and recovery efforts for Kenneth Henderson, 40, of China; Glenn Henderson, 43, of Sabattus; and John Spencer, 41, of Litchfield.
The three snowmobilers have been missing since Sunday night.
Wardens had to call off search efforts earlier in the week due to high winds, sub-zero temperatures, fog, and white caps on Rangeley Lake.
As Wardens continue to investigate, they now believe the three men had interacted with Dawn Newell, 45, -- the snowmobiler found in lake Monday night -- and her son earlier in the day.
They think Dawn and her son were trying to show the three men a shortcut.
Lt. Adam with the Maine Warden Service said the three men were low on fuel and trying to make their way back to their vehicles in Carrabasset Valley, 60-70 miles away.
Wardens advise snowmobilers to exercise caution when riding in unfamiliar areas. They ask riders to use trails instead of cutting through bodies of water, and to contact the local snowmobile club for information about conditions before departing.

Beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, the Santa Fe National Forest, Valles Caldera National Preserve, and NM State Game & Fish properties will enter Stage 2 Fire Restrictions due to the potential for extreme fire danger.
The restrictions apply to all National Forest System lands within the Santa Fe National Forest and Valles Caldera National Preserve.
"Prolonged high temperatures, low humidity, and current fire activity have really increased the potential for extreme fire danger on the Forest," said Bruce Hill, Santa Fe National Forest Public Affairs Officer. "We've also unfortunately seen a high number of abandoned camp fires already this year even while in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. We need to take added precautions under these conditions to reduce risk to the public, and cultural and natural resources by going into Stage 2."
Los Alamos County Fire Marshal Brian Nickerson said in an email Thursday that LAFD was anticipating the move.
So what does that mean?
• Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, charcoal, coal, or stove fire.
• Smoking
• Using fireworks, explosives or other incendiary devices.

This letter is written in reply to numerous anti-intelligent design articles which directly or indirectly infer that all serious scientists reject intelligent design and favor evolution as the only scientific explanation of the origin or species.
Fact is intelligent design theory is supported by doctoral scientists, researchers and theorists at a number of universities, colleges, and research institutes around the world.
Also more than 300 scientists have stepped forward and signed onto a growing list of scientists of all disciplines voicing their skepticism over the central tenets of Darwin's theory of evolution. The full statement signed by the biologists reads: "We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged."
Such prominent biologists who have signed the list include evolutionary biologist and textbook author Dr. Stanley Salthe, quantum chemist Henry Schaefer at the University of Georgia, and Giuseppe Sermonti the Editor of Rivista di Biologia / Biology Forum. The list of biologists also includes scientists from Princeton, Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Ohio State University, Purdue and University of Washington among others. These serious scientists seek to increase the coverage of evolution in textbooks.
Demanding that evolution should be fully and completely presented to students, and they should learn more about evolutionary theory, including its unresolved issues. The true censors are those who want to stop any discussion of the scientific weaknesses of evolutionary theory.
Certainly there are serious scientists who have rejected intelligent design. The most prominent being the Board members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1992 The AAAS issued a resolution attacking intelligent design theory as unscientific. Unfortunately, the process by which this resolution was adopted was itself anything but scientific. In fact, the resolution was more a product of prejudice than impartial investigation. After the resolution was issued, members of the AAAS Board were surveyed about what books and articles by scientists favoring intelligent design they had actually read before adopting their resolution. Alan Leshner, the Chief Executive Officer of the AAAS, declined to specify any and replied instead that the issue had been analyzed by his group\'s policy staff. Two other AAAS board members similarly declined to identify anything they had read by design proponents, while yet another board member volunteered that she had perused unspecified sources on the Internet. In other words, AAAS board members apparently voted to brand intelligent design as unscientific without studying for themselves the academic books and articles by scientists proposing the theory.
It should be noted that a number of the scientists supportive of intelligent design theory are members of the AAAS, so the AAAS board clearly does not speak for all members of that organization.
It is obvious that Darwinists hope to keep their beliefs (theories) as the only origin of man being taught in public schools. Like the one true state religion they demands complete adherence and no questioning and stand ready to burn at the stake (or at least remove, fine and or imprison) any who dare challenge or question their complete authority in the classroom.

I really hate to get involed in this flame fest, but nero, you need to support your claim. Name any time in the past six months when dervish has been meta as a primary in gvg or HA. The issue isn't that the class is bad (hell E/D's are still good as a split build), its that it not adaptable to the frontline position it fufills. The class has no method of knocking down targets (the basis for kills with both warriors and assassins), does not have high single target damage (fails on spikes), requires enchantments to be effective in most situations (meaning that rend/strip/any other enchat removal shuts down the class), does not have any significat caster shutdown, does not have any significant melee shutdown unless the dervish himself is being targeted, and if the dervish is healing, it is inferior to N/Rt's in total healing output, and is inferior to monks in damage prevention. (IE. it has none)
Now, for why the class isn't bad.
1. Dervishes hit three enemies with each attack if they are adjacent in the direction you are facing. This might not be useful against any pvp player with half a brian, but in pve, alliance battles or jade quarry it works wonders.
2. Dervishes are extremely hard to take down without good enchantment removal.
3. Dervishes aren't bad healers and the fact that enemies often don't look for dervish healers, and the ability to spam enchants makes the class fairly effective in random arenas.
Comparthe pros to the cons, and I believe theres a farily good reason you will not be seeing dervish primaries in gvg or HA any time soon. (Hell, not in TA either)

EDEN, N.Y. -- Eve Ogrodniczak should be at her home in Eden, but instead she's stuck 4,000 miles away after a problem with her plane ticket home.
Eve left for Poland in May, and her Lufthansa flight from Toronto to Europe went smoothly. But when she went back to the airport in Berlin to fly home, she was told her ticket was canceled.
"I was shocked," Eve said.
The Lufthansa worker eventually told her the ticket had been flagged as a "potential fraud" and that she would have to purchase a new ticket. That would have been thousands and thousands of dollars.
Other than that, Eve says she received no help.
"I was stranded," she said. "They showed total disregard for my safety and my well-being."
Eve ended up taking a bus back to Poland to stay with the family she had been visiting. Six days later, she's still there.
2 On Your Side first contacted Lufthansa Monday. A team of people appear to be working on this case, but as of Tuesday evening, there is still no resolution. We're told the time difference has delayed a resolution.
The airline has not admitted it did anything wrong, and we're waiting on an explanation as to what happened and what happens next.
Eve says she contacted her credit card company and was told there is no fraud and that the payment to Lufthansa was properly processed.
"I have absolutely no faith in anybody taking care of me and helping me out," she said.
2 On Your Side will stay on top of this story and have an update from Lufthansa on Wednesday.
