At long last, the 'bag is back.
It's been a dizzying stretch, from a condensed 2011-12 regular season, to Boston's playoff run, to an offseason in which the team has reassembled and reloaded its roster.
As things begin to (finally) slow down, we're opening the 'bag again to talk roster construction and everything else on your mind as we await the start of the 2012-13 season.
Before we dive in, we encourage you to check out our latest Roster Reset, which lays the groundwork for where the roster and salary cap stand at the moment. And, without further ado, on to your letters:
Q: Do you think the Celtics are set on their roster at this point? I still think they need to add another big, even after the signing of Jason Collins. And I really hope they can either re-sign Mickael Pietrus or go after another player that can defend the wing. Your thoughts? -- Paul (San Francisco, Calif.)
A: I think we'll see the Celtics add a few more training-camp bodies, maybe pushing that roster number up toward 18 to promote camp competition. When I look at the roster, I see three areas of potential need: 1) backup ball handler; 2) rebounding big man; 3) depth wing. More on each as we go along in the 'bag, but I don't envision that Boston is in a rush to add another guaranteed contract given its cap situation (hard-capped at $74.3 million after using the full midlevel), and it is probably only going to be able to target one of those areas.
Q: I am worried about our depth at the point guard position. You wouldn't want Rajon Rondo to average 40-plus minutes per game, right? -- Rami (Beirut, Lebanon)
A: The Celtics have seemingly shied away from carrying a pure backup ball handler in recent seasons, preferring instead to maximize a roster spot with a combo guard (Delonte West, Keyon Dooling). This season seems no different -- at least at the moment -- with Boston eying Jason Terry to handle the ball more with the second unit. That said, there's value in having a second-unit quarterback (particularly when injuries invariably pop up) and it wouldn't be the worst thing for the team to target a low-cost ball handler to fill one of the final roster spots.
Q: It is my understanding that under the new CBA, the biannual exception is only available to teams that are under the luxury tax threshold ($70.3 million). The Celtics seem like they will be over the tax, but on the $4 million apron. Can they still use the biannual? -- Tax Man (Boston)
A: Teams simply cannot be above the apron in order to utilize the biannual (keep in mind, that includes being within the apron after using it). As we noted in that Roster Reset, we believe the Celtics are more likely to keep the biannual chip in their pocket because of salary constraints. The team might have enough room to utilize it this season, but there doesn't seem to be a pressing need with what's available at the moment. The Celtics might be able to use the biannual salary ($1.957 million) to add an impact player in-season, whether it's a free agent or waiver-wire move (and the extra salary will prevent a minimum-contract tug-of-war with other contenders). At worst, it's an extra weapon next offseason.
Q: Why didn't Danny Ainge try to extend the contract of Greg Stiemsma before the end of last season to avoid having him stolen by another team? -- Jason (Switzerland)
A: Given Boston's cap situation, the only thing Boston could have done to further entice Stiemsma would have been to rescind its qualifying offer (or not extend it at all, making him an unrestricted free agent), then offer him the biannual (or any other available exception) with the goal of locking him up before other offers came along. Even though Minnesota put Stiemsma in a holding pattern early on, the Wolves did bring him in for a visit and expressed consistent interest, which was enough for him to wait out the process. Boston was in a tough spot and, without the ability to offer Stiemsma a bigger deal given its limited rights and limited cap space, had little chance to keep him.
Q: True or False: The Celtics could still use another big man (I'm not at all comforted by Collins as the backup to Chris Wilcox as the backup to Kevin Garnett). -- Mike (Boston)
A: For a fourth- or fifth-string big man, you could do worse than Collins (remember, he was a starter at times for Atlanta in the playoffs against Boston last season). Yes, his offensive game is nonexistent and he doesn't rebound or block shots particularly well. But he still plays excellent man-to-man defense (just ask Dwight Howard) and is a nice depth option in the frontcourt. I do think the Celtics could still use a rebounding big man, but they don't usually come cheap, which might leave them hoping that Wilcox is enough of a boost in that department.
Q: What are the chances of Kris Joseph making the Celtics' roster this year? Is it possible that he could come off the bench and be a solid contributor this season? -- Dan (Syracuse)
A: Based on his encouraging summer performance (Doc Rivers dubbed him one of the team's most pleasant surprises) and his economical contract, I think Joseph is a slam dunk to make the roster. That said, playing time will be dictated by how quickly he can assert himself on the defensive end of the floor. He's got a nice frame and the necessary athleticism to be an impact defender. Establishing himself on that end will earn him floor time, where his offense should come naturally. It will be interesting to see how much he can learn from veterans like Paul Pierce.
Q: Do you think Jason Terry will be Sixth Man of the Year this season? -- Devonte (Natchitoches, La.)
A: Having won that award in the past, there's no doubt he can be a force off the bench. But, let's be honest, the Celtics just need a consistent second-unit contributor. Awards are nice, but if Terry can chip in double-digit scoring and shoot a consistent 3-ball, while aiding the backup point guard role, he'll be exactly what Boston needs -- trophy or not.
Q: Do you think Doc Rivers will limit Pierce's minutes this year like KG's last year, and will continue to further limit KG's as well with the improved bench Danny Ainge put together? -- Matt (Granby, Conn.)
A: It seems like every year we worry about minutes and Rivers swears he's going to drive those numbers down. Given that the Celtics have run out of gas on each of their past two deep treks into the playoffs, you have to think there will be a renewed emphasis on that. Boston put together some increased depth with the goal of easing the load on the veteran cast. Will that happen? It's up to the reserve guys to keep Rivers' trust so they can stay on the floor.
Q: My family is a big follower of Purdue athletes, and the Boston trade of JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore has been of interest. Question: Why would a team like Houston arrange a trade for players they know they will drop (Moore and Sean Williams)? -- Will (Aurora, Ill.)
A: Keep in mind that Houston rescinded its qualifying offer to Lee, making him an unrestricted free agent. Nothing was stopping him from signing on his own with another team. It was in Houston's best interest to try to get something (anything!?) in return for him. By helping Boston increase his salary via the sign-and-trade, the Rockets get a quality second-round pick (adding to their stockpile) and a prospect in Johnson. If they had more roster and cap space, they could have considered keeping Moore. But that space is at a premium for them now.
Q: When Avery Bradley comes back from his shoulder surgeries, does he start or come off the bench? Or does it depend on how Courtney Lee fits in with the starters? -- Tom (Framingham, Mass.)
A: If Bradley isn't ready for the start of the year -- which isn't a definite yet, though the team has stressed it will bring him back slowly -- I think Lee will get the opportunity to make his bid for staying in the first-unit role. The Celtics certainly like the idea of having quality size at the 2. That said, we all remember the insane defensive numbers when Bradley was on the floor with the first unit last season. Let's just say that Boston will have options and flexibility to match up based on opponents, and that's always a nice luxury to have.
Q: Not counting the non-guaranteed contracts, that would leave three spots open for the team. What do you think the Celtics should do to fill out at least two spots on the roster? -- Beza (Los Angeles, Calif.)
A: I think Joseph gets one spot and another goes to whomever most distinguishes himself in camp, whether that's Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith -- both of whom started that process with strong summer performances -- or another camp invitee. If no one else emerges, Boston can always add a veteran on a minimum contract and hope to sneak the younger players through to the D-League as part of the team-controlled Maine Red Claws.
Q: What do you think the projected starting lineup will be? Will Lee or Terry own Bradley's starting job until he's back, and will he have to win the job back when healthy? Will Terry play the same sixth-man role like in Dallas? Who is going to start at power forward (I think the skills that Jeff Green brings to the table better suits him as a starter and Bass' skills suit him better as a bench guy)? -- Matt (Westford, Mass.)
A: A surprising amount of questions on the starting lineup in the 'bag. I don't see Boston reinventing the wheel here and I think you'll see Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Brandon Bass and Kevin Garnett back in the starting five next season, along with either Lee or Bradley. I think the preference will be to keep Terry in that sixth-man role, while Green can log big bench minutes offering depth at both forward spots. Now, if Lee, Terry and Green are all coming off the bench, that's a lot of cash spent on reserve roles (roughly $19 million next year), but given Boston's bench struggles in recent seasons, it's a solid investment if the team (finally) gets some heightened contributions from the reserve unit.
Q: What do you see as Fab Melo's ceiling? Caught him in the summer league games and thought he looked lost most of the time. He missed rotations and his passing was very suspect. Do we have a bust on our hands or do you see him getting better through the course of the year to become a contributor of the bench? -- Srikanth (Philadelphia, Pa.)
A: Clearly the kid is raw, but for every head-slapping moment, there was a positive to build on. Celtics brass stressed that playing alongside the likes of Garnett will mask some of his deficiencies at this point. I actually think there's an opportunity for him to see occasional floor time, particularly if injuries crop up. If he can follow the sort of Stiemsma-like defensive development path, he could eventually mold himself into an impact defensive big man (whether that can happen in one season remains to be seen). But there's clearly a longer way to go with Melo at the moment, particularly in learning to defend the pick-and-roll and the other principles in Boston's help system.
Q: Finally! An offseason free (so far) of Rajon Rondo trade rumors. Do you think the C's have finally decided that this is the guy they want to go with and build the team around? And do you think the feeling of security will help him this upcoming season? -- James (New Albany, Pa.)
A: Let's just move on before someone makes up a Rondo-for-Dwight Howard rumor (which, no lie, had multiple instances in the mailbag from armchair GMs). It's Rondo's team now; it was last year, too, even after the near deal for Chris Paul.
Q: Is there still room on the club for Mickael Pietrus? As much as I like Keyon Dooling, Pietrus is a blue-chipper and can perform at both ends, especially when healthy. -- Howard (Las Vegas)
A: I simply believe that Pietrus will find comparable available money and a larger role on another contender. As much as he wanted to come back, I could see a team like the Lakers making a run at him because of his desire to compete for a title. If Pietrus can find his offensive game again coming off his second knee surgery in as many offseasons, he will help a playoff team. But I think the Celtics are hopeful that Lee can replicate his defensive abilities in defending opposing wings.

JJ Watt and Kevin Durant Cheering On Their Fans Is Heartwarming [Video]
JJ Watt and Kevin Durant have more fans that they could possibly count, but they took a day off to support some of their fans doing what they love.
JJ Watt and Kevin Durant have more fans that they could possibly count, but they took a day off to support some of their fans doing what they love.
Kevin Durant could be in a little bit of trouble with the NBA or just get a small slap on the risk or the NBA could very well just brush this under the rug.
The next sneaker to release for Kevin Durant is the Nike KD 7 'Calm Before The Storm.' With rumors of the NBA's MVP leaving Nike for Under Armour, this sneaker may get overlooked. I'm warning you, this shoe is hot.
The reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant has revealed his Nike KD 7 in several colorways. One colorways sticks out from is the rest, the 'Global Game.' After checking out the images, what are your thoughts?
If you'd like to celebrate Kevin Durant's MVP status in the most fitting way possible his Nike KD 6 silhouette is now available on Nike iD with a cool new MVP option.
Kevin Durant accepted the NBA MVP award this week, and gave an emotional speech that had even the toughest basketball fans reaching for a tissue.
Kevin Durant pulled off one of the most incredible four point plays you will ever see during last nights playoff match up with Memphis.
Today Nike Basketball gives inside access to colorway inspirations to three of their more famous silhouettes. Finally we get a better understanding why Nike shoes are dressed in their color schemes. Nike focus their efforts mainly on the LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant shoes but are not limited to the superstars' kicks.
Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant is showing off his rap skills on a new track called 'Whole Life'
The NBA superstars came together to play 'Jingle Bells' by shooting baskets for the Christmas Day jersey promotion video. LeBron James, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, and others join in the festivities to show off the sleeved uniforms.
I have to be honest, this Oklahoma disaster has me a little shook. Anytime a natural disaster occurs, the only thing I can do is pray and do my part. Today, I found out that NBA superstar Kevin Durant donated $1 million to Oklahoma relief. That is awesome.
Kevin Durant might be the best player in the NBA without a championship ring, so he did what any level headed superstar would do . . . star in a movie and make a rap song.

Can't answer the flax seed question, sorry, hopefully a mod will be by.
Posted 19 April 2013 - 12:41 AM
You do not need ground flax seed to have a good bowel movement. Seeds are a food that should be consumed in limited quantities. In other words, never eating seeds is a good choice. If you are following the meal template - http://whole9life.co...ng-Template.pdf - and eating a palm-size portion of protein and filling the rest of your plate with veggies at each meal, you are already consuming everything you need for a "meaningful" bowel movement. Some people require an adjustment period when they shift to Whole30 eating and you have only been at it for a week. Very likely your bowel movements will improve within another week without your having to do anything different. Actually, even if you are not eating a plate full of veggies at breakfast - when many people just don't eat as many - you are probably doing okay and will start moving smoothly soon enough.
Do you know the forum rules? Review them at http://forum.whole30.com/topic/6-forum-rules/
The value of doing a Whole30 is to begin seeing meat, fish, eggs, veggies, and fruit as the good stuff and to start thinking of everything else as stuff we have to make do with occasionally.

Goose hunting opportunities abound in Oklahoma
Not many hunters in the country think of Oklahoma when planning a waterfowling adventure, but I believe Oklahoma is a sleeper state for waterfowling.
Oklahoma can winter an incredible number of waterfowl, especially Canada geese.
Not only are there numerous public places in the state to hunt waterfowl, many landowners in Oklahoma who won't normally allow hunting on their property will accommodate goose hunters.
Geese can wipe out a winter wheat field in a matter of days, eating into a farmer's profits.
On my most recent hunt, I found myself in wheat field in western Oklahoma on an early winter morning with a hunting party of seven.
We hunted from layout blinds with a decoy spread of more than 200 full body goose decoys and five to six dozen magnum shell decoys.
The plan was to put the magnum shell decoys at the front of the decoy spread, or upwind, and then fill back the spread with the full body decoys.
The wind would be at our backs as we hid in the layout blinds that was scattered among the decoys.
As we waited for the sun to rise and the geese to awake and go looking for a place to eat breakfast, we wondered if our decoys would attract any hungry birds.
Our question if there were any geese in the area was answered not long after sunrise when a lone Canada goose flew into the decoys.
Several minutes later, I spotted a pair flying toward the decoys. The birds were flying low and slow, just the way you like them.
When they got to the spread, they turned and revealed themselves to be sandhill cranes. I had my sandhill crane permit and soon the birds were being retrieved by my yellow Labrador, Bo.
Geese continued to fly for the next several hours as flocks filled the sky. By morning's end, we had bagged two sandhill cranes and 16 geese, not bad for a morning afield in a state not known for its waterfowling.
Goose season remains open statewide through Feb. 10. The hunting season on sandhill cranes, open only west of I-35, closes Jan. 20.

THE DALLES — A public meeting to discuss sport sturgeon fishing next year in the Bonneville pool of the Columbia River will begin at 6:30 p.m. at The Dalles Screen Shop, 3561 Klindt Drive.
Sport catch guidelines in the reservoir behind Bonneville Dam have increased from 700 in 2009 to 1,400 in 2010 and 2,000 in 2011, yet have been filled and the season closed in late February the past two years.
Washington and Oregon fishery officials will discuss ways to extend the season later into the year, possibly by allowing sturgeon retention only on certain days of the week.

LEVELAND (AP) -- Police in Cleveland have arrested a convicted rapist after they found as many as six bodies at his house.
Police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho says 50-year-old Anthony Sowell was arrested about noon Saturday in his inner-city neighborhood in Cleveland. He says charges are pending.
Stacho says officers have found three bodies and believe they have discovered three more but are awaiting confirmation from the coroner.
The first two bodies were found Thursday night when police went to Sowell's home to arrest him on charges of felonious assault and rape. Police say he had spent 15 years in prison for a 1989 rape.

Two people were reported injured in a three-car crash on Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard Tuesday.
The crash occurred around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of Northeast Chkalov Drive and Mill Plain. A car heading north on Chkalov failed to stop at a red light and struck two vehicles heading west on Mill Plain, according to a Vancouver police bulletin.
Two victims were taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Two vehicles were towed from the scene. No names were released.
The crash caused a significant traffic jam during the morning commute.

Categorical Data Modeling
posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 - 7:16 am
I'm trying to use Montecarlo in Mplus to generate 40 categorical variables with 6 factors.Then MLR were used to analysis these data.But I got error:
*** ERROR in MODEL command
EFA factors are not allowed with ALGORITHM=INTEGRATION.
EFA factors are declared with (*label).

I think this can be done only with the WLSMV estimator. Try that.

Thank you.But I know we can use MLR with categorical outcomes for regular EFA or for CFA.And in this simmulation, the aim of our research is to recover the difference between MLR and WLSMV. So, under this scenario, what can I do?

You would need to generate the data and save the data sets in one step and analyze each data set separately and put the results together yourself. Mplusautomation may be helpful. See the left-hand column fo the website for further information.

Thank you. I have do as you said.But I cannot generate data sucessfully.And the
EXAMPLE 11.5 in Mplus User's Guide cannot do too. The data I got is not a four category indicators.
names are y1-y40;

You need to give threshold population parameter values in MODEL POPULATION. See mcex7.6 where three-category variables are generated.

Hi, I want to conduct a simulation to evaluate the estimation of covariance effect in LTA under varying conditions: measurement quality,effect sizes, etc. I started with a simply model with 2 classes over 2 time point.
Now I want to ask about how to specify the conditions in my model:
1.If I want to monitor the entropy level (0.4, 0.6, 0.8), should I change the value I used for conditional probability threshold? Is it that if I used a bigger value, say u11$1*50 versus u11$1*1, will I get a bigger entropy? Also, would the covariance effect on the latent class (c1#1 on x*.5) and the transition (c2#1 ON c1#1*2.5) matters to entropy?
2.In my model population, can I specify the transition probability of the simulated model, or the transitions supposed to be pretty random?
As you see, I want to monitor the transition in a way that a large chunk of observation will transition from class 1 to class 2 whereas class 2 will stay at class 2, and I used the code �c2#1 ON c1#1*2.5�. When I specify as well c2#2 ON c1#2*2.5, I would get an error message, so I guess I only need to specify one transition of the four possibilities? But anyway, from the analysis output I got using this simulated model, the transition patterns and probabilities are so random (with almost equal percentage of pattern 1 1, 1 2, 2 2, 2 1). Did I do anything wrong in the code or it is impossible to control the transition pattern? Thank you!

I want to post the code I use to my previous question:

Genclasses = c1(2) c2(2);
Classes = c1(2) c2(2) ;
Nobservations = 300;

Hi, one question regarding simulation in Latent transition analysis. If I want to get simulated data for a simple LTA scenario: two classes across two time points. How could I control the entropy level if measurement quality is one of the conditions I want to simulate? I read in another discussion board that it is through trial-and-error, but how so please? Also, in my model population, can I specify the transition probability of the simulated model, or the transitions supposed to be pretty random? Many thanks!

Entropy is directly influenced by the separation of the means/thresholds between the classes.
The transition probs are determined by the logit values you choose for c on c. See for instance web note 13.

Thanks for your response. I am able to generate a simulated model with a entropy level of medium (around 0.6) and high (around 0.8), by modifying the separation of thresholds between classes as well as covarianace effect on the class membership and transition. But I spent an incredibly long time to figure out a problem and I could not: why in the "model" output, the 95% coverage of the covariance effect is not even close to 1, and p-value is never significant no matter how large value I tried for the covariance coefficient?
Thank you so very much!

Capital-Skill Complementarity: Evidence from Manufacturing Industries in Ghana
Using U.S. manufacturing data, Griliches (1969) found evidence suggesting that capital equipment was more substitutable for unskilled than skilled labor. Griliches formulated this finding as the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the capital-skill complementarity framework holds for Ghana manufacturing plants in industry and aggregate level. We use an unbalanced panel of plant-level data for manufacturing firms in Ghana during the 1991 and 1997 in four industries (food-bakery, textiles-garments, wood-furniture and metal-machinery). Our findings suggest that capital-skill complementarity holds in aggregate level and wood-furniture sector in Ghana. However, we reject the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis for food-bakery, textile-garment and metal-machinery sectors.

Hi Claire,
Yes my wife and i are going on this trip.
Hi Claire, Chris and wife
We will be joining this trip too - I am looking forward to it with some trepidation (not been to India before - I think I am going to feel a bit overwhelmed at first).
See you at the airport!
Jan & Richard
Thanks for the responses guys. I've booked to go by myself so it's great to speak to you before we go.
I've not been to India before either so I think I will be as overwhelmed as you Jan. 70 days and counting - can't wait
Hi everyone,
i will be on this trip i have also booked to go by myself, can't wait so excited now
We have never been to India before either, we're treating ourselves to a different kind of holiday to celebrate our silver wedding year (not bringing the kids! Well they are actually adults now!) Look forward to meeting you all.
Bev & Ian
Hi Everyone
I just wanted to quickly post a 'hello' and to say that this will be my first holiday not only with The Adventure Company, but also alone.......can't wait to get away and the trip looks amazing!
I look forward to meeting everyone soon.

Here's what national media members are saying about Richard Sherman's postgame rant Sunday:
Not a cartoon character
While Sherman's seemingly over-the-top response will be debated, hated and oversaturated in the lead-up to Super Sunday, those who fixate on that side of his persona are missing a good game. He might be polarizing, but this intelligent young man is not a cartoon character, and he does have a compassionate side.

Thanks for being real
Thank you, Richard Sherman.
Thank you for not being boring. Thank you for having a small insanity gene. Thank you for being real and entertaining.
— Steve Rosenbloom, Chicago Tribune
Peyton should stay mum
Peyton Manning might want to reserve any comments concerning Richard Sherman in the run-up to the Super Bowl.
— Bob Raissman, New York Daily News
Treasure, not a thug
It was great. Richard Sherman is a national treasure. He isn't a "thug," as some were ignorantly making him out to be Sunday night. He doesn't hurt anyone. He isn't crossing some sort of moral boundary by making fun of Michael Crabtree. He simply speaks his mind, and plays with a degree of unhinged energy that makes sports more compelling.
— Tony Manfred,
Business Insider/SFGate.com
Ready when it came
Richard Sherman wasn't playing. Michael Crabtree wasn't going to make a play on him, not on this night, not ever, not when a trip to the Super Bowl was on the line.
So Sherman waited. And he waited. And he waited, until San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick couldn't help himself.
Kaepernick threw the fade into the end zone that Sherman knew was coming, and Sherman was ready for it.
— Ashley Fox, ESPN.com
Who's best? Ask him
Richard Sherman is the best cornerback in the NFL. Just ask him. Have no doubt, people will ask him — time and again — over these next two weeks.
Sherman had better be ready for the harsh glare of the spotlight, because he put himself there with his antics in the 23-17 victory Sunday night over the San Francisco 49ers that sent the Seattle Seahawks to their second Super Bowl.
— Nancy Armour, USA Today
Can't complain
Well, if you hate Sherman for being honest in his interview, you can never complain about a cliché-ridden sideline chat again. And it's not like he cussed in front of a bunch of kids or threatened to hurt anyone.
— Sean Gregory, Time.com
What he didn't say
Sherman was highly agitated yet concise.
He didn't thank God for the opportunity to play the game, thank his teammates and coaches for putting him in the position to win. He didn't analyze the play from a technical standpoint. He told the 49ers and Crabtree if you throw the ball my way, I'm going to win, and especially if you choose to throw to a "sorry" receiver who makes more than $2 million more than me who's trash-talked me before this game.
— Roger Groves, Forbes
WWE-style rant
Richard Sherman walked the walk. Then he talked the talk. He talked it LOUDLY.
The Seattle Seahawks' All-Pro cornerback delivered a WWE-style, postgame rant for the ages after he sealed his team's spot in Super Bowl XLVIII.

Crass and classless
(FOX Sports' Erin) Andrews handled herself well given the strange, somewhat shocking circumstances, but Sherman didn't. He came off as crass and classless.

Upgraded from a 88800GT?
This review is from: ECS GeForce 9800 GX2 DirectX 10 N9800GX2-1024PX-F 1GB (512MB per GPU) 512-bit (256-bit per GPU) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: Why would you upgrade from an 8800GT? The only reason that I can think of is to play Crysis. Other than that, the 8800GT dominates everything that I have thrown at it.
Cons: It makes no sense to throw away $500.00 every 8 months on a new video card.
Other Thoughts: I have the 8800GT. I got it back in February in a great moment of weakness; my 7950GT was slowing down in COD at 1920 X 1200. My Master's degree program is keeping me away from games. :(

Very Nice Card
This review is from: ECS GeForce 9800 GX2 DirectX 10 N9800GX2-1024PX-F 1GB (512MB per GPU) 512-bit (256-bit per GPU) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: The card works flawlessly. I can run any application that I have on the highest settings without any problems. The temps idle at 50 degrees for me with the fan at 60%. When I go to 100% fan while gaming then the temps drop to 46. It overclocks well too.
Cons: It's a huge card and I had to remove the fan case on the HDD cage and just tie up the fan in order to fit it and the fan into my Antec 900 case. The manual is a little outdated and you definitely want to download the latest drivers fron Nvidia.
Other Thoughts: I'm very pleased with this card and I upgraded from a 8800GT.

What made the scoreline even more surprising was that the Chinese had been trounced 7-0 by defending champions Australia in the opening match on Thursday.
But China were a different proposition all together against the Africans, starting off aggressively to score all five goals in the first 27 minutes.
Dong Yang sounded the board off their first penalty corner in the third minute before Sun Long (7th), Wang Bowen (14th), Zhang Zhixuan (20th) and Meng Wei (27th) struck with precision.
It was definitely a poor performance by the Africans, who will feature in the World Cup in The Hague in May.
It was South Africa's second straight defeat after losing 3-2 to Malaysia on Thursday.
China team manager Zong Weifeng praised his men for playing their hearts out to stun the South Africans.
"This is the first time we've won with such a big margin against a team ranked higher than us. It's a good boost for the morale ... we are looking forward to creating more upsets," said Weifeng.
The first match of the day went according to script as Asia Cup champions South Korea chalked up a convincing 3-0 win over Canada.
The Koreans went ahead after just seven minutes off a penalty corner goal by defender Jang Jung-hyun.
South Korea kept up the pressure and striker Kang Moon-kweon bagged two goals in five minutes.
First, he deflected the ball into goal off a free hit from outside the semi-circle in 11th minute before making it 3-0 five minutes later off another penalty corner attempt.
South Korea coach Shin Seok-kyo was pleased with the win despite his team not having had any outdoor training "because it is winter back home".
"We only did some indoor training ... that's why my players were tired in the second-half," said Seok-kyo.
"They are not 100% fit and one of my key strikers, You Hyo-sik, has a back injury.
"I hope he can recover in time for the important match against Malaysia on Sunday."

Everything you need to know about Datai Langkawi
Datai Langkawi is home to some of Langkawi Island's most exclusive and swanky resorts – The Datai and The Andaman – Datai Bay doesn't necessarily merit a visit unless you're staying here for the duration of your trip. Tourist attractions in this quarter of Langkawi Island are almost non-existent; the Ibrahim Hussein Foundation Museum and the Langkawi Crocodile Farm are the closest to Datai Bay. Nevertheless, in reality these attractions are also accessible from Kuah and Pantai Kok.

Ordered from Pet Planet as my vet was unable to provide the 12kg bag for over a week, as I have a Great Dane the 5kg bag they could provide would only have lasted a couple of days. Ordered late on a Wednesday and was delivered as promised on a Friday. This is only the second time I have used Pet Planet but each time I have had excellent service, I received exactly what was ordered and in the timeframe that was promised, you couldn't ask for more. Good value for money too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Murray1105 Child and pet friendly; nice texture for indoors I needed a child and pet friendly rug to fit under a round dining table in our NYC apartment. I also needed more of an "ash" tone vs. a honey color that seemed more readily available. This rug was perfect. It is as described, a "coffee" color, maybe a little "au lait," and the texture works very well for indoor use. This rug does not have the sheen or stiffness that are common with outdoor rugs, and the woven texture looks like a light basketweave. At first, the edges were a little wavy and the roll marks showed, but they've settled down without my having to do anything to the rug. As with any rug, lay it with the roll side down and leave it that way until you are satisfied with the curling. I see this rolling as physics, not product, and it's what (especially flat weave) rugs do when they are first unrolled. I'm a happy Karavia rug owner! March 18, 2015

We arrived in the quiet season, our host was very welcoming and provided us with a Map of Kas and sat down with us and talked about the hostel and Kas. The staff were friendly and offered help to us. New refurbished bathrooms, great location and the best Turkish breakfast we have had in Turkey yet. We would definitely come back and stay here.

Once Upon a Time: Because adults can still enjoy fairy tales!
I'm honestly not a big fan of television. I can count on one hand the number of television shows that I've devotedly watched and followed along with over the course of my entire life. One. And I didn't even watch the last season of it. My time in front of the TV is primarily spent focusing on something else with television in the background. If my attention is fully on the TV set in front of me then I'm usually watching a hockey game, nothing else.
So imagine my surprise when I stumble upon a show that I had never watched before and instantly knew that it would be one of those rare programs that would ensure my place on the couch every Sunday at 8pm. I quickly fell in love with Once Upon a Time, and most of my nightly free time since I first watched the show had been spent on my stepfather's Netflix account catching up on the two seasons that I missed. If you don't have Netflix, you can easily get those two seasons right here.
This show is essentially about the Evil Queen, Regina, whose goal is to destroy Snow White's happiness the way that Snow (unknowingly) destroyed hers. Regina enacted a curse that took all of our favorite fairy tale characters from the Enchanted Forest and planted them in a town called Storybrooke (a fictional town in Maine). Regina said that in Storybrooke the only happy ending would be hers. Once Upon a Time details the lives of the characters since the curse was enacted.
If you think of Snow White and expect this show to be reminiscent of the Disney films that came before it you would definitely be wrong. It's not all happy princesses and singing animals, but that's what I (as a huge Disney fan) love about it. It isn't what we're used to. Things don't always work out perfectly. There is dark magic at work here (usually at the hands of Rumplestiltskin, who is undoubtedly one of the very best characters on the show. Robert Carlyle's portrayal of him is fantastic).
The show is a wonderful mix of what is currently happening in Storybrooke and flashbacks to what happened in the fairy tale world before the Evil Queen cursed the land. You'll see the Mad Hatter and travel to Wonderland, Snow White and Prince Charming (with the seven dwarves, of course) in the Enchanted Forest, and even visit Peter Pan and the Lost Boys in Neverland. And speaking of Neverland, who is my favorite character on the show, you ask? Captain Hook!
It's so entertaining to watch as all of these stories collide. Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood strike up a friendship in the Enchanted Forest, while Mulan and Prince Phillip team up to save Aurora. As someone who grew up with these stories in a cartoon form, my favorite thing about this show is getting to continue on with my love for the fairy tales in a more adult setting. As a child you certainly wouldn't watch as the Evil Queen removes the heart of the huntsman (it's not as visually gruesome as it sounds - there's really no blood and it isn't gory), but for someone in their mid-20s a show like this is an entertaining way to carry on your love for the stories you heard as a kid.
A get a huge kick out of seeing what characters make appearances. From the Genie to Tinkerbelle, Pinocchio to Ariel, and Belle to Maleficent. And when the show returns in March, another character will be making her way to Storybrooke for the first time: are you ready to meet the Wicked Witch?
After you finish the first season, come back here to catch up before season three resumes in March!
Season one sees the Evil Queen's curse break, but what happens afterward, and why can't the residents of Storybrooke step outside of the town's boundary? Get season two to find out!
This book is a must-have for OUAT fans. It has pictures, interviews, an episode guide, and other behind the scenes info.
Get ready for the rest of season three with a preview of what (or WHO) is to come.
This show already has a Prince Charming, but the most charming character in my opinion in definitely Hook.

I've never seen the show, but this is an excellent review. Thanks for sharing.
I've never heard of this show. I'm betting it is not on one of the 3 channels I get. But I do enjoy old shows when they are converted to DVD. Will keep my eyes open.
It's really a fun show to watch.
I hadn't heard of this but I am going to check this out on Netflix straight away! Thanks.
Mad crush on Rumple!!! I love Robert Carlyle in EVERYTHING, but Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin is one of my favorites of his roles. I love the whole RumBelle phenomenon. I also think Lana Parrilla is the PERFECT Evil Queen/Regina.
I'll have to start watching it

Canadian Valley Technology Center's robotics team seeks donations
YUKON — Students from the Canadian Valley Technology Center's pre-engineering program at the Cowan campus in Yukon are asking local businesses and individuals for donations to pay for their team's entry in this year's FIRST Robotics competition.
The team needs to raise about $10,000 by Dec. 3 to pay for the registration fee, building materials, electrical and mechanical components and team T-shirts. For any donations of $250 to $499, the donor's name will appear on the team's T-shirts and a sticker will be placed on the robot. For donations of $500 or more, the donor's name also will be placed on the team's banner.
This is the third year for the team to compete in the competition.
The FIRST Robotics team consists of about 20 Canadian Valley Technology Center pre-engineering students. This year's competition kicks off Jan. 8. The team will have six weeks to build the robot and then official competitions start mid-March. The Canadian Valley team last year placed 14th out 51 teams statewide.
To make a monetary donation or to become a mentor, or for more information regarding the FIRST Robotics competition or the pre-engineering program, call Bryan Hawk, pre-engineering instructor at the Yukon campus, at 345-3355.
Kelly Arnold is communications and marketing director for Canadian Valley Technology Center.

Hyperactivity Disorder
in Adults
When the previous edition of this book appeared in 1987, I advanced the reasons why I believed that ADHD in adulthood was common, diagnosable, and treatable. Those reasons were based on research that my collaborators, Drs. Frederick Reimherr and David Wood, and I had conducted (and published on) since 1976. We undertook controlled experiments on the effects of various drug treatments on approximately 200 patients whom we diagnosed as ADHD children "grown up"--that is, adults with continuing problems of ADHD. In addition, we conducted experiments on metabolism and drug responsivity in an effort to elucidate the mechanisms of the presumed underlying chemical abnormalities in nearly one hundred patients with ADHD, and we treated scores of patients clinically. Our experience is therefore based on the treatment of several hundred ADHD adults. (It has been a tremendous scientific advantage to be able to work with adults. They can provide information about the inner experience of being ADHD--something children cannot do--and we have been able to learn about the feelings, reactions, and lives of ADHD adults in a way we never could from our studies of children. We can ask them to give informed consent to allow us to conduct nontherapeutic experiments--something one cannot do with children who cannot give truly informed consent.)

Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance notifying workers about tuberculosis
Published: Friday, August 8, 2014 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 8, 2014 at 10:01 a.m.
VANCE | The Mercedes-Benz car factory in Vance says it's working with health officials and contacting employees after a worker was discovered with an active case of tuberculosis.
The Alabama Department of Public Health said Friday a worker at the plant in Vance had tested positive for the infectious pulmonary disease.
The factory has about 3,400 employees, and the company isn't saying where the infected person works.
But Mercedes says it's notifying all employees about the discovery. It says it's working with health officials as they screen people who might have been exposed.
"The Alabama Department of Public Health contacted MBUSI and informed us that one of our team members was diagnosed with an active case of tuberculosis and is receiving treatment," said Felycia Jerald, manager of communications at Mercedes' Vance plant. "Since our primary concern is the health and safety of our team members, we are notifying all team members of the situation and working closely with the Alabama Department of Public Health, which is administering testing to those who may have been exposed. MBUSI will rely on the ADPH to determine next steps and the proper course of action."
The health agency says tests will be administered to anyone who might have spent an extended amount of time near the person who is infected.
Tuberculosis is an airborne disease that can be fatal if left untreated.

The Huskies left you screaming for a lot of different reasons this season. They were neither dull nor easy to comprehend, but they did improve — significantly.
In the Huskies' new era, everything ends with an exclamation mark.
The trend started a year ago when brash, young coach Steve Sarkisian joined the program spouting hyperbole, imagining possibilities and declaring he would return the University of Washington football team to glory. It continued with Sarkisian poaching good friend Nick Holt from the USC coaching staff, which led to the famously hilarious "Awesome!" news conference. And it went to another level during this wild, emotional, reformative season of extremes.
The Huskies left you screaming for a lot of different reasons this season. They were neither dull nor easy to comprehend, but they did improve — significantly.
To conclude this "!!!!!"-caliber season, it was only fitting that they gave you another reason to roar.

Washington took down No. 19 California with one unified, powerful, exhilarating fist to the gut. The Huskies played better than they had all season, flashing improved defense (including a rare pass rush!) and exquisite offensive execution (Jermaine Kearse was a beast!) and an emphatic, potentially final, performance from Jake Locker (oh, dude, one more year!).
They won 42-10 before an announced crowd of 62,334 at Husky Stadium. Their final record, 5-7, represents a dramatic turnaround from last season's winless flat tire. Even better, they finished the year by overcoming the drama of a poor stretch (six losses in seven games!) and winning their final two games (by a combined score of 72-10!) to increase the excitement for next season.
"This was not an easy season by any means," Sarkisian said in reflection. "There were a lot of excruciating losses but the guys battled every day. I'm really proud of our team."
Of course, this being a major rebuilding project, next season isn't earmarked for automatic success. The program must hold its breath now as Locker, a projected top-10 NFL draft pick, decides whether to bolt early for the pros. His decision could swing the Huskies anywhere from Top 25 expectations to another losing season.
But let's shove that angst aside for now. This victory over Cal frames the entire season. Yes, we know the Bears' best player, running back Jahvid Best, didn't play. And, yes, we remember the Huskies thought they'd made a statement two years ago with a late-season win over Cal, but it turned out to be merely the mirage of a poor Bears effort and wound up being followed by an embarrassing 15-game Huskies losing streak.
We've been fooled before. This time, though, it felt different. The Huskies were so dominant, so aggressive. While watching such a thorough performance, it was impossible not to think in terms of what this season could have been. The Huskies did an incredible job going from zero to five wins and being competitive in most every game. However, they were amazingly close to a turnaround that would've made jaws drop from here to Maine.
Three last-minute road losses — Notre Dame, Arizona State and UCLA — still burn. If they could've won two of those, they'd have a winning record and a guaranteed bowl berth.
The toughest part to swallow is they lost those games mostly because of the inexperience of the players and the coaches. Sarkisian's first season was an undisputed success, but he had to overcome play-calling mistakes in those losses to make it that way.
"We got a lot accomplished," Sarkisian said. "We've got a long way to go, too. I'd just like to have a couple of fourth-and-ones on the goal line back, and there's no telling where we'd be."
In this game, ample evidence existed to prove that Sarkisian learned plenty this season, too.
His game plan was simple and crisp. The Huskies used their best athletes to punish a California defense that had struggled all season against some of the Pac-10's most explosive players.
If you want to know how far the Huskies have come under Sarkisian, compare this game with the 2008 finale at Cal. The Bears won 48-7. The Huskies played with no pride. They were beaten down by all the losing and fell to 0-12 with humiliating ease. But the university had already decided on Sark. A new era was about to begin.
On Saturday, Year One had a wonderful ending, another glimpse of what's to come, a thrilling swing in the positive direction. It was another exclamation mark to conclude a season full of them.

The error basically comes one or two times on boot. It is never constant. I checked inside Event Viewer and found a list of long errors. I had never notice.

VIDEO: Roadracers
Dimension Home Video
The opening car-chase cuts to a billboard: "This is God's Country...Please Don't Drive Like Hell Thru It." A chain-smoking rummy, Dude (David Arquette), waits in the dark, flashes his hot-rod lights, and forces the pursuing squad car to crash into the billboard. Thereby satisfied, Dude power-cruises to a bar just in time to meet his pouty girlfriend, Donna (Salma Hayek), and watch a rock & roll band. It's the first in a series of clashes between the righteous Dude, his nemesis (Jason Wiles), and the law--a B-movie plot given a kick by the protagonist's ingeniously cool evasive actions.
The trademark hand of director Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi, Desperado) is felt throughout Roadracers (1994), his high-octane chapter in Showtime's "Rebel Highway" series of '50s teen-melodrama remakes. Rodriguez loves to play with camera speeds, turning even a standard fight-sequence device like a thrown ketchup bottle into a tension builder as the glass crashes very slowly and spills blood-red on poor Dude's head. Or this quick-cut, would-be throwaway scene: Dude repeatedly dipping his hand into a grease jar and smoothing it into his pompadour. Why? Because later that evening at the roller rink, he smears his head on the floor in mid-skate, leaving a slick trail that trips up his rivals. Sadly, Roadracers' climactic race turns into a drag by culminating in a routine bloodbath--but it sure was a fun ride.
