GTA4 characters' deaths
People keep saying "Johnny and Rocco are dead it's confirmed in the radio". I'm searching for a so-called 'proof' right now.
What do you think? -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 19:36, August 24, 2013 (UTC)
- I never listen to radio talk shows because I'm not native English speaker and I find it hard to drive and to listen a talk show in the same time. But I never heard about these deaths. Also, when you call Rocco it says he moved out of town.Dodo8 Talk
- Wait for it to be confirmed in game. I'm also very apprehensive about allowing leaked info on the Wiki, I allowed this on a previous Wiki and TakeTwo contacted Wikia to have it removed. Tom Talk 12:01, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
- Did you just said 18 GB? I don't have enough memory... :'( I'll have to wait for the PC version. F!@#! Dodo8 Talk
- Just what we need: Speculation and the game comes out in four more weeks, it feels like 2012 all over again. I thought V was supposed to have 8GB, as seen on Wikipedia?
- --Tony1998 (Talk * Contribs)-- 22:27, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
- It's only 18GB if you are downloading the full game to your console. If you are buying the disk you only have to do 8GB. VaultBoy Tom (Talk | Edits) 17:18, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Notification Glitch
Hey Tom. Are you having this weird notification glitch on the top right of your username that says "Gboyers left a new message on Empty's wall" and the date of the message was 6 years ago? I thought Gboyers and the old Grand Theft Wiki staff moved from Wikia in 2010 and now it brings this thingamabob up? Must be some type of glitch or a calling...:/
--Tony1998 (Talker * Blogger * Stalker)-- 03:34, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tom, how's going? Well, I've been thinking and, is there really any reason to protect the page Grand Theft Auto IV now? I know there's nothing left to edit but there's no major reasons to protect at this time. Thanks :) --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 17:13, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
- It's okay, but thinking in that way, it means that all the GTA games before GTA IV would be protected too. However, I changed my idea and I think the GTA IV page needs to be protected so much as TLAD and TBOGT, because it is a big target for vandals. --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 17:22, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
GTA V release
'sup Tom,
Hey man, just wanted to ask: will you get your GTA5 copy during its midnight launch, morning/afternoon/evening of Sep 17th or at some date later? -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 19:40, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I basically wanted to know what is the status of everyone with the game; most of us will get the game during day one, it seems, while others will have to wait 'til the PC release.
- And thanks :) We've been working hard to keep the wiki clean until the game's launch. After tomorrow, I guess I will finally take a short vacation. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 20:19, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, finally, this is over. But just imagine what will happen in a few years from now with GTA VI *_* -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 20:33, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Finally, got my copy! ^^ -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 11:50, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

The cover system is great, much, much faster than the one in IV or Max Payne 3. Hand-to-hand combat is also quicker and more effective than the one in GTAIV. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 12:56, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, driving and drive-by-shooting can be annoying, though. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 13:00, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
- The drive-by-shooting can be hard if you try to aim at your target, two of the first missions involve a chase, so I advise on getting used to the drive-by before doing these missions. As for the driving, I think so too, maybe I need to get used to it. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 13:10, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
- I'll do the story first, then I guess I'll start with the Strangers/Freaks missions (there's one near Franklin's home, but I'm yet to talk with her). -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 13:27, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Inactivity notice
I just wanted to let you know, school starts on 16 September. Here, at the end of the year we will have to pass 2 exams with a grade as high as possible, this will decide our future. The higher the grade, the better the high school. Due to this I'll have to learn a lot and do a lot of homework, so I will become inactive. I'll try to check the wiki as much as possible, maybe even daily, but I won't edit that much. Cheers! Dodo8 Talk
Leaked info
This site is filled with leaked info that hasn't been removed yet, so you better get on it.
Hi Tom.
The category Areas exists in all the neighborhoods in the GTA Series, but if you want I can avoid them in GTA V. What I take care at most in the Wikia and spend time occupied is with neighborhoods, cities and counties throughout the GTA Series and now with GTA V by the way. I'll add a category order to the n'hoods MoS soon.--Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 17:10, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Bury the Hatchet
I've reached this mission today and damn, this is probably the most emotion-driven mission in the entire franchise, beating the crap oout "That Special Someone". -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:32, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

- It was a true shocker for me; Rockstar kinda ruined JK's character - that what happens when you smoke meth for 5 years until GTAV. Terry and Clay's deaths were also shocking. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 18:51, September 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Let's see: Johnny attacked an AOD hideout to take back Billy's bike, chased down AODs, killed AODs, blew up AOD's clubhouse, stole AOD bikes, capped cops, escaped from an ambush during heroin deal (twice), worked for a corrupted congressman, saved his ex from fucking dealers, won The Lost civil war, double crossed one of the most dangerous Capos in LC, assassinated an assassination team sent by the Capo, and broke into a fucking prison... and then he died like a pussy... -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 19:30, September 20, 2013 (UTC)
- I think R* decided to kill off Johnny as he was considered the "badass" guy out of GTA4's trio. Showing Trevor - the badass of GTA5's trio - killing GTA4's badass is probably R*'s way to say: GTA5 is more badass, guys. What do you think about the Floyd/Debra cutscene? -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 20:00, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

- Nothing too deep about the guy's past: grew up in Canada or something, was a psycho pretty much from the very beginning, had a lot of love (bromance) to Michael and Brad. Guess he was just "born" psycho. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 21:07, September 20, 2013 (UTC)
because I dont see the harm in making up dob's, were did you get 1968 from? none of that is legit either.
Hi Tom, can you please rename this page to Meltdown (GTA IV) and this page to The Big Score (GTA A)? Thanks. --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 14:17, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
The Wrap Up
Hey man, is Agent Sanchez' (Haines' lap dog who gets his brain split out) first name mentioned somewhere in the game or the credits?
BTW, I've reached the mission 'The Wrap Up' (where you can kill ULP ). -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 16:28, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
- 1)Thanks, I guess I'll make a page for him. 2)Yes, he's killable, probably it's canon, or maybe this is like Miguel from GTA3/GTALCS and he'll just reappear unharmed in GTA VI. But yeah, he's killable. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 16:37, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
- Excatly, but their cameos felt somewhat forced. I really liked Trevor's arrival in the mission, though, when he sniped the fucking heli. Also, what do you think 'bout Molly's death? BTW, can we consider her an antagonist? -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 16:54, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
- Not yet, is Packie's encounter a 'Stranger/Freak' mission, or a random event (like Sonny Bottino's daughter)? BTW, I actually prefer Trev with Patricia Madrazo! XD -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:07, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
Could you add this code at the start of ever Grand Theft Auto video game page?
Also, what do you think about Aliens and Creatures pages I added info and images to?Dodo8 Talk
- I don't know what is the problem, it says that the website detected spam. Thanks for adding the code to the other pages though! And I haven't explored the mythical creatures either since I'll wait for the PC version, but there are plenty of videos on YouTube. :) Dodo8 Talk

Michael states that he ran hookers and smuggled dope in the introduction mission at the start of the game where Michael is talking to his therapist. Trevor tells Wade in the mission Friends Reunited that Amanda got implants to help with her days as a stripper as well as her occasional days being a hooker. If you don't believe me, then watch these videos below. -- Painkill (talk) 00:41, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
Good to know you were just curious. I've been cautious about what I edit for these last few days since people will lock pages if they even think that something related to a specific article isn't true.
The Third Way
I finished the main story, choosing the 'Deathwish' option. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 08:43, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Deathwish was awesome, something like a mass orgy of death. But I', gonna check the other endings too. By the way, who do you consider the main bad guy of the game? -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 08:51, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
- I couldn't say that better! haha XD I actually think the game doesn't have a main antagonist, in a similar way to LA Noire (where we had too many major bad guys). And no, I didn't do any new stranger/random missions for heist crew members. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 09:20, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
Heist Crew members
Hi there, you probably don't remember me but I've been an on off user on here for years and I used to edit at the RDR and L.A. Noire wikis (I think I saw you there anyways, your name seems very familiar). Anyhow, I was just wondering, do you know how to unlock Daryl Johns, Karl Abolaji and Hugh Welsh? I only ask because I want to make a "Crew Members" article (or section for "Heists" if you think it's better fit there) and I'd like to include how the crew members are unlocked/what heists they can participate in. Further more, do you know of any other heist members? I know all of the initial ones (three hackers, two drivers and two gunmen) as well as some of the unlockables (Packie, Taliana, and Chef), and those three I asked about, but I don't know of any others. Any help is appreciated, man. Le Rusecue (talk) 08:57, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
Yeah I counted that guy as one of the initial three hackers, since as far as I know there's no way you can miss out on getting him and the mission he's in takes place before the first heists. As for Abolaji, I didn't hear about him either until I saw him on IGN's video of The Big Score. It's no problem man, this stuff is just kinda driving me crazy, haha. Thanks man, hopefully we learn something soon, yeah? Le Rusecue (talk) 09:09, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I didn't realize I had a message on here. Thanks for the list, but... That's my list, haha. I made it on GTAforums. Anyways, I see that articles have been added for all the characters - Did you guys find something else out? Le Rusecue (talk) 16:38, October 1, 2013 (UTC)
I am playing the game at this time so if i here anything on the radio i will do a write up on it. Owen1983 (talk) 11:34, September 22, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, and it also didn't follow the policy. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 15:31, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
- That, and it wasn't licensed (although I'm more forgiving towards licensing since most new users are clueless about that). -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 15:33, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
I do consider Haines and Devin as main antagonists, but I have a problem with calling Stretch and Cheng Sr 'main' antagonists, since they appeared in only two missions or so (three/four if you consider phone calls). -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 18:35, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
- And I think I understand why each protagonist took out another protagonist's antagonit; maybe it was their way to show they can trust on each other, by killing another's enemy. Also, I think Devin's death was too cruel (yeah, it weird when it comes from me, isn't it?), they could at least give him some pants before pushing. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 18:48, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
- About Trev's torture, did you know that several reviewers and rights groups were negative about his torture of Mr. K in "By The Book"? I dunno, I think Rockstar did a brilliant thing with putting this scene, 'cos later Trevor criticizes the use of torture by the IAA and the FIB and he even spares K's life. That was cool, bro. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 18:58, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
- It showed a different side of Trevor, not too different, but still noticable. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 19:07, September 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Tom. Would you please create a pa ge for Bigfoot? I am not allowed to do it. And yes, there's proof.Dodo8 Talk
- Well there are some arguments and counter arguments. There's the thermal thing, but there's more! A bigfoot appears on the logo of the LSPD, and there are also shirts that have the same kind of picture but with "Yeti" written instead. Also, after getting 100% completion, there's a stranger mission near Mount Chiliad. You have to shoot a bigfoot, but after shooting him it is revealed that it's actually a man in a suit. That doesn't necessarily means that bigfoot is fake. As you know, during the mission with the thermal thing, bigfoot will disappear. How could a human being do that? I've seen a real-life report, some people say that bigfoot can teleport. Howsoever, we still need to create a page for him.Dodo8 Talk
- I don't think creating a page named "Bigfoot (GTA V)" is good, that would mean that he also existed in other games, which is not true. Could you create the "Bigfoot" page please? I'll add content to it afterwards. BTW, here's the clip:
What do you mean it doesn't prove anything cause it's an Easter egg? It's in the game, it's not like it's some big joke thing. It clearly (well, very blurry) shows that Roman is alive and has a Lifeinvader. Shadowrunner(stuff) 00:40, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
- How is that a nod? Rockstar made that image and put Roman on there. It's not like some big revelation, it's just saying Roman is alive and that's all. Shadowrunner(stuff) 01:10, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
- While I do agree with you with other protags from the 3D universe and the references to DJs and other side characters, this is a reference to a character that's actually in the same universe as GTA V. Not someone from San Andreas, Vice City or 3. Shadowrunner(stuff) 01:48, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, well you're right about it being big because of the ending thing, but so what? Rockstar is just saying which ending they prefer. I mean, the stuff about other minor characters are covered on here and aren't discarded as just being easter eggs and major character references in the 3D universe are covered, so why is this the exception that doesn't get covered? Shadowrunner(stuff) 02:18, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
- That laptop image also counts for Niko, since he's never actually called by name only referred to as that Eastern European guy, and Bruice Kibbutz on the bullshark testosterone website. Brucie's is probably the most substantial of the two. I'm still playing so I don't know that many yet. Shadowrunner(stuff) 12:23, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
San Andreas Flag
You know anyone on here that's kinda an artist? I ask because I'm making an image of the San Andreas flag, but I can't find a good vector image of a Beaver anywhere and I'm not too good at drawing animals and such to do it myself. Shadowrunner(stuff) 18:30, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

- Yeah, seems like an afterthought to me, although maybe it was just for the Michael/Trevor haters (nobody gives a fuck 'bout Franklin, anyway), but "Deathwish" was rather well executed, and enjoyable. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 18:50, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Michael is the protagonist I uses the most, around +40% according to the Social Club. To me it's hard to pick the 'central' protagonist, as the moment I thought one is the center of the story, the story moves to a young wannabe gangster who works as a repo-man, before moving the story again to a psycho who fucks the meth-head ex of a broken MC president. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 19:01, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
IGN Video
Hi, The Tom!
We've been given a video by IGN on how to steal a "jet fighter". I'm not sure exactly where the video should be placed, or even if you might be interested, so I thought I throw you a link so you could decide for yourself.

United Liberty Paper Contact Name Rename?
Hey, I was wondering if you thought the name for the United Liberty Paper Contact page should be changed. Would it be better to use his name as stated in the game's credits, United Paper Man?
--The Milkman | I always deliver. 08:36, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
That's his name as stated in the credits for Grand Theft Auto V, I believe. I suppose that would be considered more "official". The Milkman | I always deliver. 08:54, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

It's possible that GTA V will come for Wii U
Dear The Tom, I have seen that you have reversed my edit. Why you did that? It's really not excluded that the game will come on the Wii U, it's a HD console with a bit more HD capability than the PS3 and Xbox 360 and the President of Nintendo of America has said that he would like to see the game on the Wii U. Besides, there is an petition here that can make it even more possible. Tim Auke Kools (talk) 13:05, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
Then also applies that for a PC version. I have surfed on the internet, and even a PC version is not official announced yet. Tim Auke Kools (talk) 15:23, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure what am I thinking about that. Kinda cool, but since I don't have this app, I can't confirm or deny this. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 18:07, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
Bay City Apartment
In Grand Theft Auto V, you can buy properties, with the Bay City Apartment being one. However, you must walk up to the property's icon (a house with a dollar sign in it) and it will ask you if you wish to purchase. The player then has the choice of whether to purchase it or not. I'm assuming you do not have the game so you are assuming you cannot buy properties in GTA V. Smashbro8 (talk) 16:51, September 26, 2013 (UTC)Smashbro8
Safehouses in GTA V
OK, you might be right about that. I have not tried to purchase anything yet through Dynasty 8 cause I do not have enough money obviously. Let's just settle it at what Rockstar said then, I am not going to start any confusion. BTW how do you get your name to appear green? I'd like to change my name's color!

Radio Infobox
Can you change the color the radio infobox? I was looking at some radio pages and I don't think dirty pink fits the whole color theme of the wiki. Shadowrunner(stuff) 18:51, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for changing the color. I would've done that myself but it was locked. Shadowrunner(stuff) 19:51, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
Grove Street Families
When escaping from the cops, Lamar and Franklin begin talking about how Grove use to be Families territory. It's also in the notes of Hood Safari. Shadowrunner(stuff) 18:56, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
MC Clip
Well, I had just finished playing Hood Safari a couple days ago when I changed the radio station afterwards. When Weazel News came on, it reported MC Clip died in a shootout between the The Families and the Ballas, which was basically what Hood Safari was about. A fan then came on crying because of the deceased rapper and Weazel News again reported MC Clip is dead. That's all I heard so leave MC Clip as deceased. I am not a liar and I only edit the truth on this wiki. Please be grateful, I am trying to help! Smashbro8 (talk) 19:47, September 26, 2013 (UTC)Smashbro8
- From I understand, the player's actions affect Weazel News reports; you kill MC, there's a report - you don't kill him, there's no report. The same goes for Ashley Butler; you spare her life, and WN reports about her death in a drug party (from I understand); you kill her, however, and there's no report (Interesting thing, though, she'll still message Ron on Lifeinvader. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 19:53, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
MC Clip's death
Nope I just left him behind. Weazel News reported after the mission he died. I am certain he is dead cause I heard the reporter's line "MC Clip is dead," . Smashbro8 (talk) 19:56, September 26, 2013 (UTC)Smashbro8

RE: Walkthroughs
Ah, sorry. I thought they were there until GTASeriesVideos released his version of the mission. VaultBoy Tom (Talk | Edits) 09:30, September 28, 2013 (UTC)
Is there any reason why LS11sVaultBoy is an admin? He doesn't appear to have qualities of one and he ignores the usual formats/templates. I've made an article of a collection of the Epsilon missions in GTA V and he made another which doesn't seem to have much of an organized feel. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 21:45, September 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right. But he gives me some inexperienced vibes. I haven't really seen an admin on any wiki edit like him before so it's unusual for me. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 22:06, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess it would be alright to have them back. I noticed you've been bringing back the pulling favors mission pages.

- I'm not sure, either. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 14:34, September 29, 2013 (UTC)
Kinda hard for me to consider him an antagonist, or even a main character. Sure, he's the one who drives Mike back to robbery, but, his last appearance in the game was rather too silly ("The other ear!"). Not to mention he and the protagonists part ways on a rather good note (*cough* being Trevor's bitch). -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 16:19, September 29, 2013 (UTC)
- You have some point, but it's not just his silly appearance, he doesn't feel like an antagonist; he didn't do anything (really) bad to the protagonist compare to others, let's say Diaz or Mendez (since all are Hispanic cartel bosses); no betrayal, kidnapping (Light My Pyre), ambush (In The Beginning (GTA VC)), toturing a friend, etc. Hard to explain, if to be honset. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 16:38, September 29, 2013 (UTC)
GTA V PC Release
Hi Tom, there's a lot of rumors going on that maybe GTA V will be released for PC in 22 November. However, Rockstar Games stated nothing and they never touched at this topic since the game was announced two years ago. Do you think that GTA V will be released for PC at least in this year? --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 18:29, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Oh ok thanks
This isn't speculative. This is Roman mentioned clearly by someone else. Now I will admit the Chinatown Wars thing is very little, but when you have a character in Liberty City mention Roman's Taxi Company and call it crap. Like, unless there's another Roman in Liberty City that also coincidentally happens to also own a taxi depot, I don't know what else you want? Shadowrunner(stuff) 21:38, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Tom. It seems that the guy posting questions is actually Rigby. After you asked him about his age and I expressed my disagreement on him being 27, he complained to Dan. It seems that this is Rigby's new account. Due to these, I consider he should be blocked for having multiple accounts and even being below 13 years old (I doubt 13+ year olds watch Enzo and have such bad grammar). I don't want any problems with him again. I don't care how many blogs he will create from now on, I'll just ignore him. If you consider I should say sorry to him I'll do. You should talk to Dan about this, since you are Bureaucrats and should decide. I don't want it to become a major conflict. Cheers! Dodo8 Talk
- He must be under 13 so maybe that's why he's globally blocked. That said, his Little Enzo account is banned from chat on Community Central, so maybe there's something else. Tom Talk 11:28, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Korean Mob to Khangpae
Hey Tom how do I change the main title of the Korean Mob page want to change it to Kkangpae. The reason is due to the fact that if any of the protagonist owns The Hen House Business in Paleto Bay, The Koreans are referred to as the "Kkangpae" rather than Korean Mob.

Hey Tom, I noticed you undid the edit, I understand but there appears to be an issue now, if I recall there's been interviews stating that Tracey is the younger sibling, so I can come up with three ideas, Rockstar have either, changed it so Tracey's the older sibling, Rockstar messed up with her age or from a character perspective it wouldn't be too surprising if Tracey has lied about her age, just sharing my thoughts about it is all.

Achievements and Trophies in GTA V edit
I still own and occasionally play Bully, and in the game the collectibles that Jimmy finds for the Hobo are Radio Transistors, not spaceship parts.

Help with an experiment?
I wanted to ask you if this community would be interested in helping us improve search suggestions by participating in a little experiment? As part of our constant effort to improve this facet of our search functionality, we want to try out some alternate methods. If you agree, we will try out these changes here and measure the results.
The testing period will last between two to four weeks.
During that period you will see the following improvements: much faster search suggestions and a different look for the way they appear.
The possible drawbacks are: search suggest will only provide namespace suggestions (no images or categories), and any new articles created during the test will not automatically appear in search suggest (although we can manually add them if that will help).

Nowitzki still leads Mavs with blood, sweat
DALLAS – Dirk Nowitzki(notes) watched the doctor remove bits of teeth from his right elbow, a surreal experience in itself. The doctor stitched up the cut, sent Nowitzki for X-rays then decided he needed to re-examine the wound. So he took out the stitches and probed the gash until Nowitzki screamed. More stitches followed. There was even talk of possible surgery.
The Dallas Mavericks' injury report stated simply that Nowitzki had a right elbow laceration following his collision with Houston Rockets forward Carl Landry(notes) on Friday. This, however, was no ordinary cut. Landry lost parts of five teeth, some of which were imbedded in Nowitzki's elbow. Landry ended up getting a root canal; Nowitzki sat out Sunday's victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers and he also might miss Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers because his elbow is still too stiff and painful.
The doctor "was really scared about an infection, so he went back in there for like 30, 40 minutes," Nowitzki said. "I was just watching him with his fingers in my hole in my elbow. He had his whole finger digging in there. That was ugly.
"I took as many pain killers as I've had in a long, long time. … We did consider [surgery] for a second because we didn't really know how many parts were in there floating around."
Nowitzki said he's at the greatest risk of infection for the first 72 hours after the cut, but is hopeful he'll be fine.
"With that situation with your franchise player, you always take a deep breath, swallow hard and pray for the best," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "That's all you can do when you're dealing with Mother Nature. So far, the signs are good. This thing isn't over yet."
The Mavericks are fortunate to have three days off following Tuesday's game against Portland, and they obviously don't want to endure a long stretch without their All-Star forward. Backed by a deep, veteran roster that also includes Jason Kidd(notes), Shawn Marion(notes), Josh Howard(notes), Erick Dampier(notes), Drew Gooden(notes) and Tim Thomas(notes), Dallas owns the Western Conference's second-best record at 20-8. But although the Mavericks did win surprisingly easy without Nowitzki against LeBron James(notes) and the Cavs, it's no secret the franchise's long-term success still lives and dies with its greatest player.
Nowitzki is averaging 26.1 points per game, 8.1 rebounds and owns the fifth-best efficiency rating in the league. The Mavericks have also raved about him playing the best defense of his 12-year career.
James, Kobe Bryant(notes), Carmelo Anthony(notes) and Dwight Howard(notes) are the usual names to surface in any MVP debate this season, but Nowitzki has quietly (as usual) emerged as a legitimate candidate.
"He's 31. People take him for granted," Kidd said. "He can play big, small, however you want it. When you see those numbers, you just assume that he's going to give you that on a nightly basis. His team wins, too. It's unfortunate that he doesn't get a little more exposure."
Said Carlisle: "He leads the NBA in plus-minus productivity, so he has the greatest impact of any player in the entire league in terms of when he is on the court."
James ranked the Mavericks among the league's best teams after losing to them. And Nowitzki believes this is the best supporting cast he's had, even better than the team he took to the 2006 NBA Finals. That, however, hasn't won over some skeptics who believe the Mavericks still need one more quality player to help them seriously challenge the Los Angeles Lakers and contend for a championship.
The Mavericks routed the Lakers 94-80 on Oct. 30, but Pau Gasol(notes) didn't play. And as even Nowitzki admitted, Gasol's addition is what made the Lakers a title team.
"Since I've been here, and this is my 12th season now, this is the most talent that we have on a team from top to bottom, Finals included," Nowitzki said. "The only problem is the rest of the top teams got better, too. We're still all mad at Memphis for just trading Gasol to L.A. We're still mad at [Detroit Pistons president] Joe Dumars for trading [Chauncey] Billups to Denver. It just so happens that the rest of the league and the rest of the Western Conference got better as well.
"I think from top to bottom we're better than any team I've been on here. That's a good thing. We need some luck down the stretch; we have to be injury-free, but I definitely like what everybody brings."
Even if Dallas again comes up short in its quest for a championship, Nowitzki likes the makeup of the franchise enough that he believes he'll be a Maverick for the rest of his career. He could opt out of his contract at the end of the season, but said he hasn't decided whether it's in his best interest to even join the heralded 2010 free-agent class. Much like what Bryant did with the Lakers, Nowitzki could pass on free agency with the intention of signing an extension with the Mavericks.
"I figured I'd play this [season] out and see what my options are," he said. "I really haven't focused on it much. I'm really focusing on this season and we'll see what happens at the end, and I guess it will be more of a quick decision.
"I didn't plan on opting out as of now. But nothing has been done so far. I didn't sign anything. We didn't agree on anything. I've always said that I wanted to finish my career here because I've put so much into it for the last 12 years now that if I just go somewhere and win it somewhere else it won't be the same. That's kind of my attitude. I want to make it work here. Whatever we got to do, I guess, we'll have to do this summer."
Said Mavericks owner Mark Cuban: "He knows pretty much what the plan is, but I'll say, 'Here's our options. How can I help?' "
There is at least one player who could significantly help the Mavericks' quest for a championship: Toronto Raptors forward (and Dallas native) Chris Bosh(notes).
There has been speculation Bosh could be moved before the trade deadline if the Raptors feel they have no way of re-signing the coveted free agent next summer. An NBA source with knowledge of Toronto's plans told Yahoo! Sports that Raptors officials are still hopeful the team will improve enough to convince Bosh to re-sign. That didn't stop Nowitzki from chatting up Bosh when both visited South Africa with the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program.
"I was like, 'So, you coming back to Dallas?' " Nowitzki said. "He just said he doesn't know and everything was so wide open to him.
"I think everything right now is speculation. I don't like speculation. I like to focus on what I got."
That's a wise approach considering one substantial obstacle will make it difficult for the Mavericks to lure Bosh if he hits the free-agent market: money. The Mavericks, who are expected to be over the salary cap, would likely either need to persuade Nowitzki to take less money himself or convince the Raptors to do a sign-and-trade deal.
Still, there are no limits, however, on Cuban's creativity.
"We can be a player," Cuban said in regards to the general free-agent market. "Everybody thinks its all about cap room. But I don't think all the guys that are free agents – they've been in this league long enough – don't want to be on teams involved in a rebuilding process. There's a lot to risk. You want to go to a team where you can compete.
"So it may not be about cap room. It might be about a sign-and-trade. It might be about any other options of different things. We've got a lot of different options."
Their No. 1 option remains the same as it's always been: Keep their current franchise player happy – and healthy.

Amazon Debuts Frustration-Free Packaging
Posted By Alexandra Kain On November 20, 2008 @ 3:00 pm In Green Graphics & Packaging,Innovation | 8 Comments
Just in time for the overly packaged holiday season, we are thrilled to see that Amazon [2] is debuting a new eco-friendly idea called 'Frustration Free Packaging'. If you've ever tried to open a plastic package twice the size of the product inside and ended up with box cutters in one hand and carpal tunnel syndrome in the other you may know 'wrap rage.' Then once you finally got the plastic off, you still had 18 wires to unwind and a mountain of mostly unrecyclable trash [3]. The folks at Amazon [2] are working hard to remedy this problem with the introduction of Frustration-Free packaging [4]. Amazon is working with manufacturers to eliminate dreadful clamshell packages for simpler brown boxes. Not only will it make wrapping and unwrapping much easier, but these boxes can broken down like any other and recycled.
Frustration-free and plastic-free packaging [5] is something we've been hoping for for a good long time.
Currently Amazon is only offering 19 products [6] with Frustration-Free packaging but is looking to expand the program with hopes of wrapping all of their products sans fuss in the coming years. The holiday season is a month-long consumption crash we have no intentions of sacking but we love to see more thoughtful giving with low impact packaging [7] and production.

When Melo first hit the court with the 1.5s, he sprained his ankle. I know that had to send you into some type of panic. Even with it not being the shoes fault, I'm sure you had plenty of people looking your way just because it happened in your shoe.
Yeah man! As a designer, and I tell this to all of my students and my former designers that I used to manage, I always accept blame for everything. Embrace the fact that it's your fault. Because when something goes wrong, everybody is gonna look at you. Even though you probably had nothing to do with it, it's gonna be your fault. And when it goes right, everyone else who was involved in the process wants to take credit for it. It was his first game in the shoe, I think they were in Denver playing San Antonio and Bruce Bowen undercut him. Carmelo went up for his normal J, and he came down and landed right on Bruce's foot and turned it. It was a nasty turn, too. It was just one of those things where there was nothing you could do about it. You're stepping on someone's foot and it's gonna turn.
Just a traumatic experience burned into your mind.
[Laughter] Aww dude, it's just like he's breaking out his first signature shoe. It's on TV, and he tweaks his ankle. Then the emails start coming, "Melo twisted his ankle in your shoe." And I'm just like, "Dude, it wasn't my fault!" If he was in a cast it would have rolled over. We actually modified that shoe. So when he came back, it was modified. That was the only time that his on court shoe was different than the one that was at retail. Every shoe since then was the same exact one at retail that he was wearing on court. That one we had to modify, just to make the ankle part more stable because, at that point, it was more mental than anything else. Then he tweaked his ankle again later on in that season. Then, as you know, he tweaked it again recently, 10 years later. The whole time I'm just watching that game and I'm like, "Whoa."

It has to just eat you up seeing that happen again.
[Deep sigh] Yeah dude, it's just crazy. I sent him a text a few months back on his birthday and we haven't spoken but I know he was probably like, "Fuck!" I wonder if he was calling my name out [laughter] even though I didn't have anything to do with it. It just brought back those memories of how he tweaked his ankle, because I think he tweaked it like two-three times that season.

"To Dr. J. Leonard Corning of New York belongs the credit of first experimenting along the lines of subcutaneous injection of oils"; and, although applied to an entirely different purpose to that which paraffin is now devoted, yet of much import, since it was demonstrated that sterilized oils could be used subcutaneously, without resultant inflammation. Following this same idea, directed in a different channel, Gersuny of Vienna, in 1900, published an article stating that melted vaselin, when injected into a yielding tissue, forms a small tumor which remains in situ, causing no appreciable reaction. He used this method to overcome the deformity resulting from castration, blemishes due to cavities, depressed scars, and also for narrowing orifices.Drs. Lynch and Heath appear to be the pioneers in America in the use of subcutaneous injection of paraffin for the correction of nasal deformities.

Kobe Bryant Number Of Championships
Kobe Bryant Number Of Championships
Is Kobe Bryant the next Michael Jordan?
I think Kobe is the next Michael Jordan because he is on the same path as Jordan. Jordan didn't start winning championships until he started sharing the ball. Kobe is going through the same process because he is the number 1 scoring option (as Jordan was with Chicago) and he has to start trusting his team to win, just as Jordan did when he won those championships. I believe when Kobe masters the art of passing and shooting his team will dominate. I feel he has the supporting cast to do it and I wish him luck.
He already is as good as Jordan. His supporting cast is just not pulling through. Odom is hurt most of the time so he is not a big part. The Lakers need to get Kevin Garnett like the rumors say they are. They get him and Lakers have a good shot. Then Kobe will share the ball and people then will think he is a Jordan even though he already is.

Reviews for
Quiltmaker's Journey
Booklist Reviews 2005 March #1
K-Gr. 3. In this prequel to The Quiltmaker's Gift (1999), a young woman born into great wealth risks banishment to see what lies beyond the walls of her town, encounters poverty and disease, and resolves to help the poor. The theme of out-of-control materialism segues into an exciting quest story, but what really distinguishes this are the vivid, intricately designed watercolors, double-page spreads with insets of varying size that add drama and action to the main story. The inside of the jacket is an elaborate puzzle-poster showing the book's setting and action from a panoramic perspective. The endpapers display and name 34 quilt patterns, presented in full color, many of which (in a different color combination) are set beside the boxed text, serving as clues to the heroine's journey; a pattern called "Twist and Turn," for example, accompanies text describing the girl's struggle through a rat-filled maze. An ambitious, strikingly illustrated moral fable that will give children much to look at; a special treat for quilters, too. ((Reviewed March 1, 2005)) Copyright 2005 Booklist Reviews.
Horn Book Guide Reviews 2005 Fall
Fans of [cf2]The Quiltmaker's Gift[cf1] will enjoy this lengthy prequel that tells how the quilt maker became so generous. When she discovers that poverty exists outside her wealthy town, she forfeits her riches and instead makes quilts to give away, while wild animals care for and feed her. Both story and art are excessively elaborate and sentimental in this didactic tale. Copyright 2005 Horn Book Guide Reviews.
Kirkus Reviews 2005 March #2
Billowing, jewel-toned patterns illuminate this visually and verbally lush prequel to The Quiltmaker's Gift (2001). Having never had a want or whim go unsatisfied, a young woman-engagingly portrayed with bouncy, white-ash hair and mobile, expressive hands and features-is shocked to see poverty in the world outside her walled town. Rejecting her town Elders' suggestion that the poor be ignored, she leaves her old life behind and, fed by kindly peasants and wild animals, begins creating quilts to warm the blanketless. As in Brumbeau's prior outing, the tale's language is sometimes overblown-one quilt "had the colors of hopeful mornings and rosy-cheeked children and gardens bursting in bloom." However, de Marcken's art more than compensates with extravagantly detailed scenes into which quilt patterns (named on the endpapers) have been incorporated, along with multi-species flights of birds and romanticized but vivacious human figures. An aerial map printed inside the jacket will be hidden by library processing, but young readers will pore over the rest of the art.

School Library Journal Reviews 2005 April
Gr 2-5-In this prequel to The Quiltmaker's Gift (Pfeifer-Hamilton, 1999), Brumbeau and de Marcken tell the story of this generous artisan's early life. As a young girl, the protagonist lives the grand life of a wealthy child in a land where poverty is unknown, but she is not happy. One night she slips out of the walled city and finds the world beyond, scarred by poverty and need. She has little with her, but kind strangers help her on her journey, where she finds happiness through giving. When she returns to her walled home, the elders reject her idea to give her wealth to the needy, and she is turned out of the city. She becomes a quiltmaker, and the rest is history. The brightly detailed and realistic watercolor illustrations will give children plenty to pore over, but the plodding story is overwhelmingly didactic and much too sweet to appeal to a wide audience.-Angela J.

A Company "Werewolves" spearhead assault training
September 18, 2012
By Sgt. Richard Wrigley, 1st ACB, 1st Cav. Div. PAO
FORT HOOD, Texas -- For the first time in a long time, aircrews of the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, began training for the repel air assault, here Sept., 14.
Pilots and crews of A Company "Werewolves," 3rd Assault Helicopter Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st ACB, flew out in support of Fort Hood's Air Assault School in order to certify pilots and crews and to also support the school's training of their students.
Despite poor weather, the day's training went along as planned, mainly due to the professionalism of the 1st ACB, said Sgt. 1st Class Samuel Gomez, of San Antonio, the repel master in charge of the class.
Gomez said he was happy with the results, and that thorough planning, direct communication, and superb coordination allowed for the operation to run as smoothly as it did.
Spc. Christopher Remakis, a native of Sicklerville, N.J., a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crew chief for the Werewolves, was a "first-time-go" being certified for the repel assault and showed enthusiasm toward the new training.
"It was pretty neat seeing [the students] go through their training and to see how proficient the repel masters were, as I was working on my proficiency at the task at hand," Remakis said, who recently returned from a year-long deployment to Afghanistan.
Remakis said that the mission set was different for him, as was the pace of the training since he was so used to the speed and efficiency of the real-time mission as opposed to the slower pace of first-time training.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Shawn Rodgers, of Charleston, S.C., and an instructor pilot for the Werewolves, was one of the pilots who qualified and helped support the air assault school. Rodgers talked about what made the repel different to him and what it meant to the unit's mission.
"I've never done a repel assault before," Rodgers said.
"I've always landed, and the fact that there is someone hanging onto a rope outside your aircraft makes it a very different mission," Rodgers added. "There's more danger, these guys could get hurt, and that's what makes the repel different to me."
Rodgers went on to make clear how important this was to the 3-227th AHB's mission set and what it could mean for the future.
"A repel operation is always riskier. The first option will always be to land and to let people on and off the aircraft; what this does though is allow us to be able to provide more options to the ground trooper, the war-fighters, those who we call the customer," Rodgers said.
"In the end it's all about the war-fighters and supporting them the best we can," Rodgers concluded.

Resetting a user password
From Joomla! Documentation
Resetting a user password can be done a number of ways:
1) The user can do it by themselves through the front end of your site
a) Make sure the Login Module is published and active on the front end of your site.If not, log in to the Administrator back-end and go to the Module Manager to enable it.
b) Find the Login Form on the front-end of your site. If you need to reset your password, click "Forgot your Password?" and you will be prompted to enter your email address. A confirmation code will be emailed to you so you can enter a new password.
c) If you can't remember your username, click "Forgot your username?" and it will be emailed to you.
2) The site administrator can perform the following steps:
a) log into the Administrator back-end of your site (e.g. www.yoursite.com/administrator)
b) Choose Site from the top menu, then User Manager.
c) Click the User's name you want to edit.
d) Enter the new password into the New Password field and type it again in the Verify Password field.
e) Click Save.
Resetting in PhpMyAdmin
If you have lost your admin password and you can't log into the backend, then you're able to reset the password in your PhpMyAdmin. Complete the following steps:
- Select your database in PhpMyADmin
- Select the jos_user table
- Click "Browse" and select "Edit" (the small pen on the user whose password you wish to reset
- You will now see all user data in a form. Under the "password" field, you will see a long list of encrypted letters. Delete these letters, and type in a new password
- BEFORE saving, remember to select "MD5" in the "function" dropdown list.
- Save your new password and log into the backend of your Joomla site. Remember to reset the password again from the back-end, as the MD5 encryption is much more secure this way.

As I said in the column, it's the government's fix for a legitimate problem of identity theft.
But making millions of American citizens reapply for the document, and charging them, is unnecessary and fair.
What about enforcing existing laws? Or at the very least not charging these citizens for law enforcement's failure?
That said, here's how to get a new birth certificate:
Applications can be obtained from www.salud.gov.pr.
Connecticut's Latino and Puerto Rican Affairs Commission has a fact sheet and information on their site.
They are also working on a much-needed public awareness campaign.
Again, the Puerto Rican government recommends "that only people who have a specific need for their birth certificate" request a new one right away.
New birth certificates will cost $5 for everyone except people over 60 and veterans, and additional copies will cost $4. A copy of a valid photo identification is necessary.

If AH was on PCP and Pats were worried last year before all the BS happened. Why was he never found to be in violation of the NFL drug policy? Don't they test for PCP? If not why not? Seems weird that a person can be "addicted" but pass drug tests.
I am not naive and I know you can substitute and cover up but usually there are red flags about all of this... with AH there seemed to be none.
So why are we speculating on something that should be a fact one way or the other?

Ages ago when I wrote my previous Eduasync post, I said we'd look at a pipeline model of coroutines. I've decided to skip that, as I do want to cover the topic of this post, and I've got some more "normal" async ideas to write about too. If you want to look at the pipeline coroutines code, it's project 20 in the source repository. Have fun, and don't blame me if you get confused reading it - so do I. The code I am going to write about is horrible too. It's almost as tricky to understand,
and it does far nastier things. Things that the C# 5 specification explicitly says you shouldn't do. If it makes you feel any better when your head hurts reading this code, spare a thought for me - I haven't looked at it in over six months, and I don't have a blog post explaining how it's meant to work. I just have almost entirely uncommented code which is designed to be hard to understand (in terms of the main program flow).

Project name: Cherokee Studios
Project owner: ReThink Development
Location: Los Angeles California
BROOKS + SCARPA (formerly Pugh + Scarpa)
Full project profile:
This urban infill, mixed-use, market-rate housing project was designed to incorporate green design as a way of marketing a green lifestyle. It is pending LEED Platinum certification. The design maximizes the opportunities of the mild Southern California climate with a passive cooling strategy using cross-ventilation and thermal convection while taking advantage of the abundantly sunny location. A commitment to minimizing the project's ecological footprint informed all aspects of the design.
The main architectural feature of this project is the building's owner-controlled double-façade system. The occupant is able to adjust the operable screens of the building façade as necessary for privacy, views, shading, and thermal comfort. As a result, the facade is virtually redesigned "live" from within, responding to the occupants of the building in real time. The façade also enhances the existing streetscape and promotes a lively pedestrian environment. By visually breaking up the façade into smaller, articulated moving elements, the building appears to move with the passing cars and people. Like many features of the building, the façade is multivalent and rich with meaning, performing several roles for formal, functional, and experiential effect.

An Economist Honored for His Unorthodoxy Douglass North Receives Nobel Prize Today
John Bremner Of the Post-Dispatch, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
DOUG NORTH hobnobbing with royalty? Dressed in white tie and tails? It'll happen today in Stockholm, Sweden, when he receives the Nobel Prize for economics. And friends may be left wondering which is the bigger event - the prize or the outfit?
At Washington University, where he resides as an understated faculty icon, North, 72, wears no tie at all. Typical dress would be a sweater or sport coat, tan trousers, and old yellow sunglasses.
For a man who has won almost every honor in economics, North seems to be without conceit - even modest.
All of which seems surprising for a man who has spent a lifetime challenging conventional wisdom.
Until recently, North had been a hidden giant in his field - respected and well known within it, virtually unknown outside it.
That changed on Oct. 12 with the announcement of his Nobel Prize.
Now, North is celebrated for creating a whole new way of thinking about economics. His work stands a good chance of dethroning the famous Chicago School of neo-classical economics that has dominated the profession for so long. Learning At The Chess Table
Although he had a lot of formal education, Douglass Cecil North, says he really learned about economics at a chess table.
A Marxist as a youth, North stayed with that dogma until well after he completed his Ph.D. in 1952 at the University of California, Berkeley.
Then, in his first teaching position, at University of Washington in Seattle, North found his mentor - economist Don Gordon, who liked to play chess and talk economic theory by the hour.
Gordon was a devout believer in the importance of rigorous economic analysis. He was able to tear North's logic to pieces while remaining his friend.
North's conversion from Marxism was by no means immediate. He describes it as a gradual process. He came to see that while Marxism asked the right questions, its answers weren't very good.
For a while, North became a Republican; he did not remain one. On economics, however, North remains a conservative. He believes in the free market.
Moreover, he thinks it is important to understand why the free market works; and that requires understanding the societies that produced it. Economic Principles Applied To History
At first, North accepted orthodox economic principles as a guide to the truth. But gradually he came to see that they didn't fully explain why people behaved as they did.
Eventually, he concluded that other institutions in society mattered at least as much to economic development. This started him on the road to economic history.
North became one of the pioneers of what is known as the New Institutional Economics. He also calls it Cliometrics (Clio for the Greek muse of History, Metrics to emphasize the importance of statistical technique). Simply put, North applied economic principles to the study of history. He believes this is the only way to see what caused some societies to develop, while others languished.
North became convinced traditional economic theory was wrong. He found its model of rational man acting in perfect pursuit of his economic self-interest simply "crazy."
Worse in his view, neo-classical economics focuses on economies in the abstract.
North wanted to know how they behave over time. He wanted to "predict yesterday" in order to understand today, and perhaps tomorrow.
Believing in what he calls "the plasticity of man," North searched for other factors to explain economic - development.
Traditional economists point to the importance of natural resources, capital, technology and education.
But North found by examining history with quantitative tools that this wasn't so.
Some societies rich in resources hardly developed at all. Spain conquered the New World, which brought Spain enormous wealth. But the nation didn't develop economically. …

My baby's bpm only being 94 at 7wks2days. What should I do?
This is my second pregnancy. My daughter is 8yrs old. As for this pregnancy, I am 30yrs old. I had my first ultra sound and the baby's measurements were 5wks6days and the bpm was 91.

Economists say this is a week to watch
October 24, 2011
Housing was in the limelight this past week, and the story is unchanged.
According to IHS Global Insight, The single-family housing market remains stuck at the bottom, while the multi-family market is slowly getting back on track.
Economists report that with nine months of data, 2011 is shaping up to be the worst year on record for single-family housing starts, single-family permits, and existing home sales. New home sales, which come out this week, will also set a record low in 2011. Still, September was a banner month for housing starts, which climbed to their highest level in 17 months on a whopping 51 percent jump in the improving multi-family market.
IHS said the highlight in the very busy upcoming week will be the advance GDP release, which will show the economy growing at its fastest pace in the third quarter of 2011 since the second quarter of 2010.
The two most important measures of consumer confidence, the Conference Board's consumer confidence index and Reuters/University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index will show confidence and sentiment at recessionary levels in October.
Despite the gloom, IHS is projecting that the personal income and outlays release will show that real consumer spending increased modestly in September and during the third quarter. The new home sales release for September will show sales still on track for a record low year.
Finally, said economists, durable goods orders will be down in September on a drop in aircraft orders, while the employment cost index will show that wage pressures in the third quarter "remained subdued."

What can stat geeks tell us about what it takes to win on the links?
The real-world application of this insight can be seen in the "bomb and gouge" strategy on par 5s. Whereas players were once criticized for being reckless by stretching to reach a par 5 in two shots, it's now conventional tour wisdom to crush your drive as far as you can. No worries if it lands in the rough—it's better strategy to dig it out and try for the green in two.
Some gurus like Hank Haney, who coaches Tiger, hold that power is the most important factor for determining the potential of a golfer. Haney represents a school of golf thinking that's annoyed by the importance of putting. Ben Hogan is on record as complaining that "there is no similarity between golf and putting. They are two different games, one played in the air, the other on the ground." Some former pros have suggested that putts be worth half a stroke, or that the hole be made twice as big.
This last idea caught the fancy of Mark Broadie, the golf researcher. Who would benefit from a larger golf hole? Good putters or bad putters? Your gut would say good putters. They're already burning the edges of the cup, so more of their putts would fall in. But when Broadie ran a simulation, he discovered that the bad putters would be doing more high-fives around the green. It turns out that the good putters don't have many 3-putts. They are 1-putting or 2-putting most greens and simply don't have a lot of room to improve. The bad putters would see some of their 3-putts become 2-putts and pick up strokes.
Broadie also pokes a hole in another piece of conventional golf wisdom. Many good golfers have a distance from the green where they feel most comfortable hitting approach shots—perhaps they like to hit a 9-iron from 120 yards. So, on a par 5, if they can't reach the green in two, they will often hit their second shot into that comfort zone, the strategy being that it's better to groove a 9-iron than to sweat over a 40-yard wedge. Broadie has found that the "comfort zone" feeling doesn't hold up. Everybody gets better—they hit it closer—when they are closer to the green.
Though Broadie questions some elements of professional golf strategy, he hastens to point out that the pros are significantly better at all aspects of the game than amateurs. Indeed, stats get most useful when you start to look at mortal golfers—our mistakes make more of a dent in the data. Broadie has created a software application called Golfmetrics that helps capture the rounds of weekend hackers and scratch golfers alike. At the 2008 World Scientific Congress of Golf, Broadie presented his finding that consistency is underrated in golf. High handicappers are harmed most by the few absurdly bad shots in each round, like, say the wedge you skull 40 feet sideways.
In support of Haney, Broadie says that the long game is what separates the pros from the rest of us. The ability to hit it both longer and straighter is huge. Here is Broadie's vivid example: "If a low-handicap golfer had Tiger Woods do all of the putting, the gain would be about 2.2 shots per round, but having Tiger Woods hit all shots over 100 yards would lower the score by about 9.3 shots per round." But once you start comparing pros to pros, putting becomes important again. Indeed, the margins of skill difference between great pros and slightly greater pros are so slim that you must put down your calculator and start discussing the unquantifiable mental aspects of the game. Which is to say that you have left the realm of Moneygolf far behind.
Oh, what's that, I've forgotten something? Yes, Tiger Woods will win the U.S. Open this week. Just don't expect him to make many 20 footers.

Artist Melts Czech President's Head as Global Warming Commentary
Posted By Joann Plockova On June 12, 2010 @ 1:00 am In Art,Design,Environment,global warming | 1 Comment
It appears that Czech president Vaclav Klaus is having a bit of a meltdown! Despite the government's objections, Marketa Jachimova [2] – a sculpture student at Prague's Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design [3] (AAAD) – has followed through with one of her controversial final projects: an ice bust she sculpted of the president's head [4] and left to melt in the Liechtenstein Palace garden (a government space). Scheduled as part of an AAAD student exhibition, this art project is Jachimova's impassioned reaction to President Klaus' heated, and quite dubious, views on global warming.
The icy sculpture [6] was made in direct response to Klaus' criticism of the theory on global warming [7]. A seemingly innocent figure formed in his likeness, government officials were not too pleased with its sudden appearance on the palace grounds. When Jachimova first showed up to place her sculpture on the garden fountain, she was promptly asked to leave the premises by an on-duty civil servant. However, undeterred, as reported by the Czech news site Aktualne.cz, Jachimova quickly refuted, "I am a young artist and I will stage a happening here." With the country's stalwart history of venerable political protest, this was one statement not to be taken lightly. The employee helplessly conceded, and Jachimova was allowed to place her work upon the fountain.

text: Why does the Auburn Journal read more like the Colfax Record or Loomis News when it comes to the sports section? It is the Auburn Journal and those two areas do have their own paper. When I reviewed the Colfax Record and Loomis News online they are truly focused on the sports at their respective high schools. Why do we have all these big articles including pictures of Colfax and Del Oro teams all the time? This isn't new for the Auburn Journal to do this but seems to be getting worse. Most recently the big article about a freshman Colfax football player and his dad including picture, the next day a big article about Colfax varsity player Tom Baldoni including picture, article and big picture of Del Oro's girls golf team, etc. By the way, didn't Placer girls golf team take the GIF championship for the first time ever? Where is that big article and all the pictures? I'm not saying not to have any coverage of our surrounding competition but why is Placer covered like the unwanted stepchild? Even when there is something on Placer the size of the articles has great discrepancy. Why doesn't the Colfax Record and Loomis News have a ton of Placer sports in their papers? Come on Auburn Journal, wake up and have some common sense. JOEY MITCHELL, Auburn
