OAKLAND -- Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings saw a weakness in the Warriors defense. You could tell as, in the fourth quarter, he danced a bit with the ball before hoisting up a 3-pointer. And he had no doubt it was going in.
That's been the case against the Warriors for the last month or so, opponents finding their 3-point swag against Golden State.
Milwaukee was the latest team to victimize the Warriors from deep. The Bucks, who entered the game here Saturday ranked 19th in the NBA in 3-point percentage, made 13 of 28 from behind the arc.
Monday, the Warriors host a New York Knicks team that lives and dies by the 3.
There was a time when Golden State guarded the 3-point line well. What's happened?
"I don't know," center Andrew Bogut said last week. "Some games we've done a good job closing out to guys. Some games we haven't. Teams just seem to shoot the ball well against us the last 20 games or so."
Through the first 47 games, the Warriors ranked third in the NBA in 3-point percentage defense. Opponents made just a third of their attempts from behind the arc. Golden State's scheme of collectively protecting the paint and desperately rushing out to defend 3-point shots was working to perfection.
But Feb. 5, the Houston Rockets started what has grown to be an unnerving trend. They knocked down 23 3-pointers against the Warriors, tying an NBA record and stabbing the Warriors in their collective ego.
In the 17 games since then, starting with that Houston embarrassment, opponents are shooting 39.4 percent from 3-point range. That's 26th in the league during that span.
And it hasn't just been opponents shooting at a high percentage but high volume as well.
During that 17-game span, the Warriors allowed 161 made 3-pointers, the most in the league. That's an average of 9.5 made per game. The Bucks nailed four in the fourth quarter, including three clutch ones to kill Warriors rallies.
There was a time when Golden State tightened it up on defense in the fourth.
"We've shown signs we can do it, we just have to stay consistent," point guard Stephen Curry said. "We understand (defense) is what is going to allow us to get out of this hole. ... We have to just improve our performance. Individually, we have to take that responsibility to find out what we can do to help the team."
Golden State has thrived on aggressive switching, timely rotations and ready help defense. The strategy was designed to compensate for the Warriors' lack of individual defenders since swingman Brandon Rush was lost to a major knee injury the second game of the season.
The scheme leaves open the perimeter. But the Warriors covered that leak by relentlessly hustling on the perimeter to cover shooters and banking on players to miss. The Warriors got to 30-17 relying on this scheme.
But a few factors have led to a reversal of fortune.
No. 1, the league has caught up to the Warriors' strategy. Opponents are combating this by playing small lineups -- either three guards at a time or a shooting power forward who spots up behind the arc. That makes the Warriors pay for collapsing the paint, the biggest fear for a team loaded with suspect individual defenders.
Also, fatigue has set in. Perhaps such is expected since three of the Warriors starters -- guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and rookie forward Harrison Barnes -- have never played this many minutes at this stage in the season.
But the Warriors aren't nearly as effective, or desperate, as they had been when charging out to defend shooters. Nor are the rotations as crisp. And lapses are happening more frequently.
On top of that, opponents are getting into the paint still -- which any basketball coach will tell you is kryptonite for a defense. Outside shots produced by passes from the paint are difficult for any team to stop.
A couple early 3s build confidence in streak shooters. And once teams develop a rhythm, the Warriors are in trouble.

Stop the car – this place is called Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery – turn left here.
That's essentially what happened on my ride home from the Sounders game Sunday night. Craving chocolate, or at least something sweet, I turned to Yelp to help my friend and I find somewhere open late on a Sunday that served up something delicious and unique. I didn't even need to read the reviews – with a name like that, I went straight for the address.
I've been up and down Ballard Ave, but never stopped into this place before – Hot Cakes is located at 5427 Ballard Avenue and is right in the thick of things. The chocolate menu is extensive and the list of drinks, some alcoholic and some just fun, causes you to stare at the chalk board for a good seven or eight minutes before you can figure out what to order.
I went for the Peanut Butter Cup, a milk chocolate cake with peanut butter ganache and peanut butter fudge inside. My friend went dark with the Dark Decadence, which had salted caramel and butter toffee. And since I wanted to feel like Harry Potter for the night too, we tried the butterbeer.
The cakes are baked in the jars they come in, and served up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. For a small size, they pack a big, rich punch and are well worth the $6.75 to $7.50 apiece. But I shouldn't be surprised at how delicious they are – Autumn Martin, a local who started the company, has prior experience as the pastry chef at Canlis and as head chocolatier at Theo Chocolate. To top it off, the cakes are organic, and generally made with local ingredients.
If you don't have time to sit down and eat, you can take Hot Cakes home. Several of the cakes are sold in jars, along with toppings, cookies, pies and more. You can also pick up their products at a variety of farmers markets and local cafes. What's more, the store offers an array of classes covering everything from how to make caramel sauce and butterbeer to informational sessions on the coffee and other fine items they serve.
Hot Cakes made a great change from all the cupcake and frozen yogurt options out there. It's a perfect treat when you need that extra something, and one I'll definitely be going back to. Now, I suppose I owe Yelp a thank-you letter!

CASTRO VALLEY -- Two years ago, Ione Kleven saved a teenage boy who had been stabbed in a confrontation with two men in an attack outside her home. This week, the Castro Valley grandmother was honored for her brave deed.
She is the recipient of a medal and a monetary grant from the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, a Pittsburgh-based organization that recognizes people who attempt to save the lives of others. "It's really quite an honor; it's humbling," said Kleven, 67. "I didn't expect this kind of attention."
The portrait artist put herself at risk the night of May 14, 2010, when the harrowing attack unfolded outside her home. Around 9:30 p.m., she said she heard shouting, followed by what sounded like "frantic running." Kleven said she went outside and saw two men fighting on her front lawn with a 14-year-old boy, who yelled to her that the men were trying to kill him.
Acting on pure instinct, Kleven ran toward the assailants, screaming at them to stop. "He was smaller, much younger and clearly outnumbered," she said. "On his face was a look of terror; that's not something you turn your back on."
Kleven grabbed the teenager's arm and dragged him away from harm. She then ordered the assailants -- described as men in their 20s with thick builds -- to leave. The pair stopped the attack for a moment, seemingly stunned by the older woman's aggression. Kleven said the men did not touch her but were about to attack the boy again when her husband, Oliver, a former Marine, appeared on the front porch. The men hesitated and then drove away, she said.
But Kleven was not finished. She noticed the boy had been stabbed in the abdomen and told her husband to make sure the teenager did not run away, fearing he might bleed to death. As Oliver Kleven dialed 911, she drove after the assailants but lost sight of their vehicle and was unable to write down its license plate number.
"I'm not afraid of many things, but I would have been afraid of me that night," she said. "To see (the attack) made me enraged. I've never been that mad before."
The next day, one of the boy's relatives visited Kleven's home. The relative said the first thing he said after waking up from surgery was that someone should thank her for saving his life.
Two-and-a-half years later, no arrests have been made, she said. But the teenager has made a "miraculous recovery" and has stayed in touch with the Klevens, she said.
His parents nominated her for the Carnegie Hero medal, which the national organization awarded to 18 people Wednesday.
Kleven said friends since have told her she should have just gone inside and dialed 911.
"But that wouldn't have worked; it absolutely would have been too late for him," she said. "You don't want to live your life in fear."

CORPUS CHRISTI – John Jordan has been named the GoIslanders.com Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Pepsi. Jordan picks up the award after a solid performance in the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina Islanders Basketball Tournament, leading the Islanders to a 2-1 performance in the event.
In Friday's win over IPFW, the junior scored a career-high 28 points, including the game-winning jumper with 4.2 seconds remaining. He went 10 of 16 from the field and 7 of 9 from the free throw line. Jordan also added four rebounds, three assists and three steals in the team's opener in the American Bank Center.
He battled an injury in the final two days of the event, playing the role of distributor in Sunday's win with seven points, seven assists, six rebounds and two steals. However, the day prior, he dropped 18 points and nearly had a double-double with nine rebounds. His performance over the three-game stretch earned him all-tournament honors.
Earlier in the week, Jordan was able to hit the double-digit mark in scoring with 11, while tallying six rebounds and four assists against an Iowa State team that is now ranked 21st in the country.
The Islanders will be back in action in the American Bank Center on Wednesday, as they take on Rice at 7 p.m.

- California prisons: Gov. Jerry Brown offers plan for overcrowding crisis 'under protest'
Gov. Jerry Brown and his top state prison official are about to find out how mad they've made the three federal judges overseeing California's overcrowded prison system.
In court papers filed Wednesday, lawyers for prison inmates asked the special three-judge panel to find Brown and Jeffrey Beard, the state's corrections chief, in contempt for failing to comply with orders requiring the administration to meet a Dec. 31 deadline for reducing the prison population.
Citing "willful defiance" by the governor and his staff, the inmates' lawyers argue the federal court must take strong action to force the state to shed another 10,000 inmates to cut the prison population to about 110,000 at the end of this year.
The federal judges previously found California's prisons so overcrowded that they deny adequate medical and mental health care to inmates. The inmates' lawyers on Wednesday asked the judges to order the state to release more low risk prisoners to solve the overcrowding.
In one recent order, the judges threatened the administration with contempt if the deadlines are not met. A contempt finding could expose the governor and Beard to a range of punishment, from civil fines to the extreme step of jail, but legal experts such as UC Davis law professor Vikram Amar call a criminal contempt finding "very unlikely."
The governor earlier this week notified the three judges he is appealing the orders to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that California already has rid its prisons of tens of thousands of inmates and now provides legally adequate medical care. The administration has also presented the judges with a plan to reduce the inmate population by another 7,000 inmates but indicated it will not support the steps necessary for the Legislature to put that plan into effect.
The state is expected to present its legal arguments to the Supreme Court this summer, and the justices may decide in the fall whether to take up the case.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team extended its win streak to a season-high four games, as the Islanders (14-11, 7-7 Southland) beat Oral Roberts (7-16, 6-7) for the second time this season with a 61-53 victory at the American Bank Center on Saturday.
Freshman Brittany Mbamalu had her fourth game of the season with at least six treys, as she knocked down six for a game-high 18 points.
Jasmine Shaw kept her streak of impressive performances going, as she posted 13 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to go with them to record her third double-double of the season. Camesha Davis also came close to matching this achievement, as she had seven points to go along with eight rebounds.
After shooting just 26.9 percent in the first half, ORU came back to shoot at a 51.7 clip in the second half. However, the Golden Eagles first-half deficit was too big to overcome as the Islanders continued their climb in the Southland standings.
It didn't take long for Shaw and the Islanders to get on the board, as she hit a three just five seconds into the game. The Golden Eagles came charging right back, hitting two threes to go along with a three-point play to go up 9-3 at 16:45.
Mbamalu and Shaw paired up to hit back-to-back threes to tie the game back up before the Islanders scored the next eight points to cap off a 14-0 run.
ORU cut the lead in half with a pair of jumpers before Mbamalu hit her second three of the game to push it to a 20-13 ballgame with 9:21 left to play.
With the lead still at seven for the Islanders, a jumper for the Golden Eagles cut it to 22-17 with 6:26 on the clock. However, this was the last bucket ORU would convert the rest of the half, as the Islanders scored 11 points — six of which came on Mbamalu's third and fourth threes — down the stretch to take a 33-17 lead into the half.
For the second consecutive game, A&M – Corpus Christi held its opponent under 20 points in the first half of play.
The Islanders opened up the second half just like the first, as it was a three that pushed the lead up to 19. Then, after ORU hit one of two from the line, Shaw hit another three, making it 39-18 at 18:07.
The next bucket came from the Golden Eagles, snapping a streak of 8:38 without a field goal, going 0-for-8 during that streak with seven turnovers. The bucket sparked a 14-7 run for ORU to pull it within striking distance at 46-34 with just more than 10 minutes to play.
With the Islanders still up by 12 after some back and forth action with 8:12 to play, a pair of jumpers cut the lead down to single digits for the first time of the game at 6:37. This was in the midst of a stretch where the Islanders failed to score in nearly four minutes.
Mbamalu put an end to the drought in a big way, though, as she stroked her sixth triple of the game – after hitting just four in the last three games combined – to put her team back up by double digits, extending the lead to 55-44 with 4:38 to go.
ORU converted on a old-fashioned three-point play to pull back within eight, but this was the closest the Golden Eagles came, as Shola Adebayo came away with six points in the final four minutes to seal the win for the Islanders.
The Islanders will have a week between games before they travel to Houston to matchup with Houston Baptist on Saturday at 3 p.m. for their final road game of the season.

2.8-8 Use of Physical Force by Private Person to Make an Arrest -- § 53a-22 (f)
Revised to December 1, 2007
Note: Section 53a-22 (f) provides that "a private person is not justified in using deadly physical force to make a civilian arrest except in self-defense or in defense of others as prescribed in § 53a-19."
The evidence in this case raises the issue that the defendant, as a private citizen, was justified in the use of physical force because (he/she) was effecting what is known as a civilian arrest. This defense applies to the charge[s] of <insert applicable crimes> [and the lesser included offense[s] of <insert lesser included offenses>.]
After you have considered all of the evidence in this case, if you find that the state has proved each element of <insert applicable crimes and any lesser included offenses>, you must go on to consider whether or not the defendant was justified in (his/her) use of force.
When, as in this case, evidence of justification is introduced at trial, the state must not only prove beyond a reasonable doubt all the elements of the crime charged to obtain a conviction, but must also disprove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was justified in (his/her) use of force. If the state fails to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not justified, you must find the defendant not guilty of <insert applicable crimes and any lesser included offenses> despite the fact that you have found the elements of (that crime / those crimes) proved beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant has no burden of proof whatsoever with respect to (his/her) defense of justification.
The law allows a civilian arrest for any offense, whether it be a felony, misdemeanor, traffic violation or other infraction, but the private person making such an arrest is held to a very high standard of conduct. Unlike a peace officer, the civilian making an arrest may not claim justification merely because (he/she) believes that the arrested person committed an offense. Rather, regardless of the reasonableness of (his/her) belief, (his/her) right to make a civilian arrest is allowed only if the person actually committed an offense. A mistaken arrest, no matter how well-intentioned, is not justified under our law.
The statute defining this defense reads in pertinent part:
a private person acting on (his/her) own account is justified in using reasonable physical force upon another person when and to the extent that (he/she) reasonably believes such to be necessary to effect an arrest or to prevent the escape from custody of an arrested person whom (he/she) reasonably believes to have committed an offense and who in fact has committed such offense.
To convict the defendant of <insert applicable crimes>, the state must disprove beyond a reasonable doubt one of the following elements:
Element 1 - Another person
actually committed an offense
The first element is that the person who was arrested by the defendant actually committed an offense. It is not necessary that the defendant actually saw the offense being committed, but regardless of (his/her) belief, the privilege is lost if the person arrested did not actually commit an offense. "Offense'' means any crime or violation which constitutes a breach of any law and which is punishable by imprisonment, fine or both. The defendant claims that <insert name of person> committed <insert offense>.
Element 2 - Actual belief that
degree of force was necessary
The second element is that the defendant believed that the amount of force used to effect the arrest was reasonable and not excessive under the circumstances. A private person may never use deadly physical force to effect the arrest of one who has committed a crime.1
Element 3 - Reasonableness of
that belief
The third element is that the amount of force that the defendant believed was necessary to make the arrest was objectively reasonable. A reasonable degree of force is that degree of force that a reasonable person in the same circumstances viewed from the perspective of the defendant would use and no more. If the degree of force used is excessive or unreasonable in view of all the circumstances, the defendant is not entitled to this defense. Whether the defendant had the requisite belief and whether the defendant's belief was reasonable and whether the degree of force (he/she) used was reasonable are questions of fact for you to determine from the evidence in the case to apply.
You must remember that the defendant has no burden of proof whatsoever with respect to this defense. Instead, it is the state that must disprove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was justified in using physical force if it is to prevail on its charge[s] of <insert applicable crimes>[, or of any of the lesser-included offenses on which you have been instructed]. The state need not disprove all of the elements of the defense. Instead, it can defeat the defense by disproving any one of the elements of the defense beyond a reasonable doubt to your unanimous satisfaction.
If you unanimously find that the state has not proved beyond a reasonable doubt all of the elements of <insert applicable crimes>, then you must find the defendant not guilty and not consider (his/her) defense.
If you unanimously find that all the elements of <insert applicable crimes and any lesser included offenses> have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you shall then consider the defense. If you unanimously find that the state has disproved beyond a reasonable doubt at least one of the elements of the defense, you must reject that defense and return a verdict of guilty.
If, on the other hand, you unanimously
find that the state has not disproved beyond a reasonable doubt at least one of
the elements of the defense, then on the strength of that defense alone you must
find the defendant not guilty of <insert applicable crimes> despite the fact that you have found the
elements of (that crime / those crimes) proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
1 The privileged use of deadly force to apprehend a suspected felon is codified at General Statutes § 53a-22 (c), and is not extended to the civilian arrest situation. See General Statutes §§ 53a-22 (f) and 53a-19 (b), which allow deadly force only by a peace officer or one acting at his direction. One attempting to make a civilian arrest must use only as much force as is reasonably necessary. See, e.g., State v. Ghiloni, 35 Conn. Sup. 570 (App. Sess. 1979).
See generally State v. Smith,
63 Conn. App. 228, 240, cert. denied, 258 Conn. 901 (2001), in which the Court
held that the defendant was entitled to an instruction on the defense of
justification on the theory that he was effecting a citizen's arrest.

I just noticed that a new version of FFDShow was released. My question is if I download and install it will it mess up my PMS? Or will it just overwrite the existing one in PMS and continue working? When Shagrath drops new updates on us does it have the latest version of all of the componets that make up PMS? I really like this program and I don't want to risk bricking it by updating certain componets on my own if it will make the program unusable.

MINNEAPOLIS – Andre Hollins scored 18 points to lead Minnesota (11-2) to a 65-44 victory over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team on Saturday night in Williams Arena. The Golden Gophers used a 15-1 run coming out of the half to pull away in the win.
Jeff Beverly led the way with 10 points for the Islanders (3-10), while Rashawn Thomas added eight. John Jordan grabbed nine rebounds and dished out three assists, but posted just five points in a losing effort. Dale Francis added a season-high seven.
Austin Hollins added 13 in the win for Minnesota. A&M-Corpus Christi went 1-for-15 from beyond the arc, while the Gophers were 9-for-26.
The Islanders came out solidly on the offensive end, converting in each of their first two possessions to take a 4-2 lead. But the visiting squad went ice cold from the field at that point, and the Gophers took advantage. Andre Hollins did the bulk of the damage, spearheading a 12-0 run that put the home squad up 14-4.
The Islanders got off the schneid with a nice bucket inside from Beverly, but a Malik Smith three-pointer and a pair of free throws by Maurice Walker made it 20-6. The Islanders were 1-of-10 from the floor in the run.
A&M-Corpus Christi was able to chip away at the deficit, getting it back to single digits on multiple occasions, but the Gophers got a three from Austin Hollins and a runner from DeAndre Mathieu to push the lead to 15. The Islanders closed the half with four straight points, though, the final two coming on a steal and layup for Thomas that made it 32-21 at the break.
But in the second half, the Islanders' offensive woes magnified, as the visitors missed their first five shots of the stanza and the Golden Gophers ratcheted up the pressure to force seven turnovers as well. Minnesota turned the stops into points, as well, using A&M-Corpus Christi's drought to mount a 15-1 run and pull away for a 47-22 lead. A Beverly basket inside snapped the Islanders' drought from the field at the 12:16 mark.
The Islanders clamped down defensively, holding the Gophers to 0-for-6 from the field to construct a 12-5 run with only five free throws in the offensive column. Dale Francis was the key player, scoring seven points on 3-for-3 shooting to serve as the catalyst. But 15 points was as close as the Islanders would get the rest of the way, with the Gophers closing out the victory.
The Islanders return to action with the start of conference play on Thursday, Jan. 2, at Central Arkansas. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Farris Center. Yannis Koutroupis will have the call on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX starting at 7:10 with the pregame show.

Frank Sinatra Jr. is feeling fine OCT 25 2012
Chantel Tattoli was assigned to report on Frank Sinatra, Jr's concert at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in Florida. And, as one does, she arranged for her father to go with her.
Two weeks ago, I told my father I'd been assigned to report Frank Sinatra, Jr.'s concert, told him I had a second press pass for a photographer. My father heard me loud and clear. He went out and bought a telescopic Nikon. It is now July 12, 2012, a Thursday. An hour ago, I showed him how to hold the camera like a pro, by cradling the lens in his left hand. We were in the parking garage waiting for an elevator. The long window looked out on the complex where a water tower sprouted behind the honey-colored stucco. Behind it was a backdrop of perfect pool blue sky. "Try to shoot that," I said, pointing. He tried. But the auto-setting didn't like the light conditions. The shot wouldn't take. "Well," my father mumbled; his eyes danced over the machine. "How do you do it manually?" It was at that point that dread began to gnaw on his daughter.
This is a wonderful little story...and there's even a faint echo of Frank Sinatra Has a Cold about it.

Valuing Intangible Assets
Is accounting keeping pace with the times?
When Benjamin Graham was first developing the principles of fundamental analysis some 80 years ago, the bulk of a firm's value came from its tangible assets, the physical materials the firm was composed of: its factory, its inventory on hand, its fleet of delivery trucks.
In the ensuing shift away from manufacturing, a firm's assets are increasingly in its entrepreneurial ideas, brands and research and development. Distribution systems have replaced delivery trucks as the main source of value. A firm can book these so-called intangible assets to the balance sheet if it has acquired them on the open market. Copyrights and patents, or even laboratory equipment for R&D, for example, are frequently brought onto the balance sheet at the price they were acquired for, their so-called historical cost.
But the lion's share of intangibles cannot be assigned market prices; without clear market information, there is no sound basis on which to determine value. Accountants have resisted booking intangibles to the balance sheet largely because doing so runs counter to the principle of conservatism, an axiom of accounting practice. Conservatism says that speculation should not come into the accounts — and intangibles are speculative.
But critics have charged that accounting, by failing to provide a method for valuing and booking intangibles, has not kept up with the changing pace of business. In a new white paper, Professor Stephen Penman counters that charge and provides evidence that income statements are the best source for deciphering the value that intangible assets bring to the bottom line. "If the earnings from the intangibles are coming through income statements, then you can get the value by looking at the earnings. There is no compelling reason to book these intangibles to the balance sheet," he says.
In one example, Penman uses a recent financial statement from Microsoft that illustrates how value can be traced through the income statement to provide a picture of firm value. In 2008, Microsoft's book value was $36.3 billion, while its shares were trading at $25, for a total value of $228.8 billion. The high market-to-book ratio (the ratio of the total value of outstanding shares to book value) of more than six means the market sees a lot of assets missing from the balance sheet. Microsoft is a fine example of the modern firm that reflects the shift in value from tangibles to intangibles.
Microsoft's income statement reported a net income of $17.7 billion for 2008. Using information from the income statement, Penman employed a simple residual earnings valuation technique to calculate the equity value of expected earnings for 2009, arriving at a share price of $23.03 — much closer to Microsoft's share price of $25 at the time than a look at the balance sheet (absent market share, intangible R&D assets or brand) would suggest.
"If you used the same technique on Microsoft in 2000 when it was trading at $60 — a bubble price — you'd understand that the market was overpriced at the time," Penman says. "The earnings weren't justifying the difference from the balance sheet that the market imputed. The market was overestimating the value of the missing assets." Similarly, the Coca-Cola Company typically trades with a price-to-book ratio of five, because its most important asset doesn't appear on the balance sheet: the Coca-Cola brand itself. "You can gauge the value of the intangible, the brand, by looking at the income statement, for earnings from the missing brand flow in there."
However, not all intangibles can be valued by looking at the income statement. Certain intangibles don't contribute to earnings, and booking such assets would violate the principle of conservatism. "Speculative value is just that — speculative," says Penman, "and should not be included anywhere in the accounting, balance sheet or income statement." For example, a new drug that has not yet secured FDA approval cannot generate income at present, however much potential it may have. Similarly, a newer firm or entrepreneurial start-up may have intangible value, but not for the accountant to record. "A start-up company might have a lot of entrepreneurial potential from its ideas," Penman says, "but there is no identifiable value until earnings show up on the income statement. Ideas are important, but ideas have to attract customers."
Just as some intangibles are not reflected through the income statement, neither should they be forced onto the balance sheet — a practice some experts advocate. "Trying to put an estimate of the value of an unapproved drug on the balance sheet is a risky undertaking," Penman says. "What if the drug doesn't ultimately get approval? You must have objective evidence before booking assets, so you don't just get caught up in booking speculation in the accounts. Values on the balance sheet have to be amortized. But since individual intangible assets can't be pegged to a market price, what amortization rate are you going to use on the balance sheet? You introduce guesses and lose information, and you destroy the earnings information you would otherwise have."
Penman's recommendations underscore how intangible assets work together rather than as individual revenue streams to generate income: an entrepreneurial idea can't work independently of a brand or a marketing strategy. Intangible assets do not have stand-alone value, but earnings do report the value from using assets together.
"Coca-Cola's value comes not just from the brand it created, but how the brand works in combination with its distribution system. The brand is an intangible working together with other intangible ideas about how to get value from customers. What if Coke sold off its brand? All the other intangible assets, like its distribution systems, and even tangible assets such as bottling facilities — would be worth far, far less than they are with the brand intact," Penman says. "You cannot isolate the value of individual intangibles."

From ArachneWiki
This page gives step-by-step instructions on how to setup Arachne. Setup occurs in three steps: download, installation, and compilation.
To compile and run Arachne, you will need an x86_64 Linux system, and, depending on the size of your genome, considerable amounts of RAM. You will also need the following software:
- The LaTeX suite of text-processing software, including executables for latex and dvips. These items may already be on your system. Otherwise, install the LateX suite, for example by downloading one of the free implementations from http://www.tug.org. We use the web2c implementation.
- The compression utility gzip and the traceback utility addr2line (from the binutils package), provided by the Free Software Foundation (http://www.gnu.org).
- An installed version of the Xerces-C++ XML Parser.
You can get Arachne from the Broad FTP site (ftp://ftp.broadinstitute.org/pub/crd/ARACHNE/).
Xerces-C++ is available here: (http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/).
Download and unpack the above tarball, using tar xvzf tarball.tgz. We'll refer to the directory into which it is expanded as your ARACHNE_DIR directory.
Download and install Xerces-C++, following the directions from the Apache folks.
Copy the installed Xerces-C++ files to your Arachne source directory, i.e., ARACHNE_DIR/src.
To compile Arachne, cd to your ARACHNE_DIR. Execute ./configure, and then type make. Compilation has been tested on CentOS Linux x86_64 with gcc version 4.7.2; other versions of gcc may or may not compile.
Compilation options
- FORCE_DEBUG=yes: Turns on all asserts
- OPTIM=none: Turns off all optimization (-O1, -O2 will turn on that level)
- PROFILE=yes: Turns on profiling
Here is a trick to pass other options to make: paste them after OPTIM, e.g. OPTIM="-O3 -Dmyflag" If you want to use gdb, you want FORCE_DEBUG=yes OPTIM=none.
A common problem when compiling Arachne from source is getting the Xerces XML parsing library to link correctly.
You will need to compile the Xerces library using the same compiler that you will use for Arachne, and copy the installed files, including the include and lib subdirectories to your Arachne source directory, i.e., ARACHNE_DIR/src.
The following two limits MUST be set in order to run Arachne:
limit stacksize 100000 limit datasize unlimited
The easiest way to set these limits is to add the above two lines to your rc file (.bashrc, .cshrc, etc.) In addition, you may find it convenient to include some of the following environment variables in your rc file. If these variables are in your environment, you do not need to specify them as command-line arguments.
Lastly, it is a good idea to include ARACHNE_BIN_DIR (the full form, prefixed with ARACHNE_DIR) in your PATH after compiling Arachne. The PATH environment variable is defined in your rc file. Remember to source your rc file after making any changes.

Private Mental Performance Training with John Kelly
It's often said that the game of baseball or fastpitch is 90% mental and yet most players have little or no training in the mental side of their game.
As a game coach and mental performance expert it is ultimately an athlete's mind that determines her success level on the diamond.

Whether they weren't quite paying attention, tuned in late, or simply misunderstood what they heard, legions of listeners thought an actual invasion was underway. The front-page headline in the October 31, 1938, New York Times told the whole story: "Radio Listeners in Panic, Taking War Drama as Fact/Many Flee Homes to Escape 'Gas Raid From Mars'/Phone Calls Swamp Police at Broadcast of Wells Fantasy".

Love having someone read me a story. Fires in the hearth, rain on the roof, sunny days and surf. Good friends, good food and J S Bach.
If you are old enough to remember the radio serials, and the shorts at the Saturday Afternoon pictures, and you like classic SciFi, you could enjoy this. Orson Wells no less. Having seen both movies over the years, based on this story, it was good to hear the original radio play that had listeners thinking the Martians had indeed landed (or so the other story goes). Classic or otherwise I suggest spending the few dollars asked rather than use your credit here.It is a good listen for the hour and certainly worth $5.00.
There are books of the same chemical composition as dynamite. The only difference is that a piece of dynamite explodes once, whereas a book explodes a thousand times. ― Yevgeny Zamyatin
""That was no Martian, it's Halloween""
It's a masterful radio dramatization dating back to 1938. The radio play allegedly "stirred terror through the U.S." and "terrified the nation". The broadcast started with the introduction by Orson Welles: "We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own." The broadcast went on followed by a weather report and interviews that were meant to make the dramatization sound realistic. Then there was a special news bulletin announcing that an object about 30 yards wide had fallen on a farm at Grovers Mill.
What the news reporter saw next he described as "the most terrifying thing" he had ever witnessed...
I was hooked by this true-to-life radio adaptation. The way the Martian invasion and its aftermath were reported, and the enactment of one of the few survivors were brilliant.
I love reading and listening to books, especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, historical, and classics.
"A Clever and Entertaining Dramatization"
What a remarkable radio dramatization of H. G. Wells??? classic novel The War of the Worlds Orson Welles and company made! They effectively distilled the essential elements from the novel into an American context, producing a concise 59-minute program that made me feel that I was listening to an intense night of terror followed by days of existential wandering and wondering.
After a voice proclaims that we are listening to a Mercury Theater presentation of The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, Orson Welles intones a condensed version of the brilliant opening of the novel, and then quickly sets up the conceit of the first part of the broadcast, that we are listening to a radio program of innocuous dance music that is repeatedly interrupted by eye-witness news flashes from this New Jersey farm where a strange meteor has landed. From there Welles and company use a variety of voices (newsmen, astronomers, farmers, crowds, military men, etc.) and sound effects to create the illusion that the attack of the Martians, complete with heat rays, giant mobile tripods, and poison gas, is happening in real time as we listen to the radio.
After an ???intermission,??? the second part of the dramatization changes from the ersatz radio broadcast to the first person narration by Welles of his professor character???s journal, depicting his attempts to survive and make sense of the invasion. Welles ???out of character??? closes the program by saying that the Mercury Theater was just shouting ???boo!??? at listeners on Halloween Eve and that ???we didn???t mean it.???
Fans of science fiction, of Wells??? novel, of vintage radio theater, and of American culture generally should listen to this program; despite (or due to) its savory slightly static-y quality, it???s well worth the $5.95 ($3.95 for members) price of admission.
I'm a big fan of SF/F/Horror, and all things in between and out.
"The Best Trick or Treat Ever"
The story of Orson Welles adapting The War of the Worlds on the radio one Halloween and terrifying a ridiculous amount of the United States is kind of legendary today, but as someone who'd never heard it before, I wasn't sure if it'd live up to the legend or not.
It does, and it's a lot of fun to hear and imagine people listening to it when it originally broadcast. The moments of silence between reporters or military personnel when they go off the air unexpectedly just hangs there, and you can imagine the genuine dread that must've inspired (and still does, for those of us unafraid to use our imaginations).
I recently listened to Wells' original novel (narrated by Simon Vance) and I was impressed how much Orson Welles channeled that here - particularly the scene toward the end with the artillery man. It's a very solid adaptation, and a genuine piece of Americana.
It does sound like an old production, but it's well worth listening to if you've ever been curious about how Welles and Wells created possibly the best Trick or Treat in the world.
Christian, Texan, electrician, lover of reading-I lean towards Sci-fi/fantasy but enjoy the classics, history, and science titles also.
"Science fiction makes history"
Classic apples to oranges question. The written story is an amazing piece of vintage science fiction while the audio version is the actual broadcast played over the radio intended as a Halloween prank on the listeners. This prank had scary consequences that made actual history. I feel each version has its own distinct personality and as such for me to pick a favorite would feel unfair.
With the Star Force series by B.V. Larson fresh in my mind some obvious parallels present themselves, however that would be like comparing the 1963 Doctor who series to the present day installment of the good doctor.
The only other performance I have heard from Mr. Wells was his portrayal of the Transformer planet in the cartoon movie by the same name. The quality of this recording was poor due to the inferior recording equipment of the time however would you really want a better track to take away from the old radio show feel?
Yes, I wanted to listen with my kids and explain a couple things as we went along.
Great fun for the whole family if this is correctly appreciated for what it is.
"Classic found footage radio"
Before Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity there was the Mercury Theatre production of War of the Worlds.
Never mind being startled and scared by things that go bump in the night after watching a horror movie; this broadcast (and others like it) inspired actual widespread panic in those who missed the part at the beginning about it being a work of fiction. Seriously.
Accept no substitutions. Listen to this classic radio drama and then check out the Radiolab show about it (Google is your friend). You'll be glad you did.
"What can one say about such perfection?"
Created AND narrated by the late GREAT Orson Welles..I am again stupifed & left in AWE...
"A smile brings a smile."
"Love the Wells, H. G. and Orson!"
Loved it. Reminded me of the B & W movie version with Gene Barry as the professor. They both draw upon my imagination to fill in the blanks.
"The One And Only TRUE RADIO HORROR w/ consequences"
When radio was the predominant form of a family's entertainment after dinner, the people who worked in radio spared no expense. Not special effects, not costumes (as none were required); the real budget was spent on finding the best voices in the business...finding the foley artist who could make that perfect blending of real and manufactured noises...the music, and of course--THE STORY!
How many times have listeners tuned out in less than ten minutes of a lackluster performance.
Orson Welles had an idea that not only created a truely new direction for the RADIO DRAMA, but went so far as to disregard convention. He left little clues, though. Clues such as the fact that this was aired on Halloween (he wanted people to realize that it's a little scary story); unfortunately, phone lines burned with panicked callers. People actually committed suicide while this live performance was underway.
Many huddled in actual panic, thinking that the story was in fact reality, and that the world as they knew it was over.
After the fallout, it was realized that he took the artform of drama, and brought it into laser focus through mere sound.
When you can close your eyes, and see it all...the Theatre of The Mind.
When the main character and a squirell make eye contact for a brief period of time; the narrator wonders if they both felt the same feeling...the joy of seeing another living thing.
I was most drawn to how absolutely committed he was to the passionate opening, from a stumbled, confusing emotional response, to the people he cast to play the role of extras; whose collective screams, moans, and comments added that eerie touch of the real.
It's only 59 minutes. It's the perfect little tale for that hour long drive.
Persons who stumble onto this will also love the original 3D Audio version of THE MIST by Stephen King; and for the same reasons.
1. Committed performances by the cast
2. A good story that's feasible
3. The 59 minute format, making it worth taking along for that hour long drive
What's amazing is that you'd think the digital quality of the Stephen King story would be superior...it's not.
The radio's hiss, sizzle, pop, and fade are also a part of the show!
My hearing will surely go out early in life due to all the audiobooks I listen to!
"Well this is new for me..."
I have never listened to something like this, and now that I have im kinda kicking myself in the rear for just NOW finding something like this. Absolutely amazing performance even though it was on the radio Halloween eve 1938. Alot of people during that time actually got scared because they thought it was real! Let me tell you if I was a youngling and i just came across this I would have too.
Short and so bittersweet. Such a horrifying tale, perfect for the eve of ghosts, goblins and well ALIENS!!!
"An all time classic"
This is an excellent Adaptation of the HG wells story, bringing it into what would was then a modern setting. The sound is a bit crackly at the stray but it gets better as it goes on.

Ye me and Sue both had him , I've only got one tube the other was removed due to damage , not pregnant yet but just at end of 4th month ttc , Sue had hers the same day as me and as far as we know not pregnant yet , she also only had one tube repaired because the other was clipped too close to her uterus I believe (hope you don't mind me sharing Sue ,but I know you don't get on much at the moment with work ) am hoping it won't be much longer though. Good to hear some other ladies have got pregnant on another forum Angel as he doesn't quote success rates . For general info on success rates after this type of op there's an american site Ali called Chapel Hill who publish all their success rates broken down by age , tube length, type of original op etc. helped to give me some idea of realistic success rates x

yes AP has said doesnt make any difference one or two,but i think hi m only doing one tube is easier for him as it seems strange all three of us on here nly have one after his op am i been silly it such a worry especially with one,as cant afford to let anything go wrong,we might all get bfp at same time as it looks like we all in middle of month together good luck xx

Post subject:
Have to say the idea did cross my mind too Ali which is why I asked him exactly what he did with my other tube and he said he prepared it the same as the other one once he got it off my abdominal wall but then the dye wouldn't go through so he trimmed it back until he couldn't trim any more off but the dye still wouldn't run through so he removed it , so that wouldn't have been any quicker for him really , he won't do repairs too close to your uterus though and I know a lot of surgeons put clips on close to the uterus , which was the issue with Sue , did he tell you why he didn't repair your other tube ?
From what I've read on here there seems to be a wide range of results from one tube at just a couple of cms to both tubes at 6-7 cms I think a lot of it depends on how much damage was done during your original op , plus AP will only save a tube if he's confident it isn't damaged and maybe not all surgeons look at it that way ?
I'm with you on the being worried front though as I think it puts extra pressure on when it comes to worrying about an ectopic pregnancy

Hi Ali Nat of course I dont mind you mentioning me,if it helps us then great.
Ali, he didnt repair my left tube as Nat has said it is clipped right at the junction with the uterus and this is the narrowest portion of tube, so if scar tissue developed which it does for everyone but there is a potential for a blockage with scar tissue or closure, so am glad he didnt do it. He said everything was really healthly, no damage to my tubes or uterus, nothing stuck down, which suprised me as i expected the clips to cause max damage, i had two clips on each tube. I am realistically giving myself a year before I think ok its not going to happen and at some point will stop ttc altogether but not sure how old/long to wait,,its a personal thing maybe you should go on baby and bump and pose your question and maybe askamum too, let us know your results if you hear back from any ladies, yes as Nat say's its alway's a worry not knowing your surgeons stats, but it also depends on other factors as we all know good luck hun xxx

Hi nat,sue,thanks for replying,i think i just look into things too much he did say he tried to do my tube but there was no chance i just thought it was odd we all only got one tube need to find more ladies that had op by him to see stats .my clips had fallen off and were sitting in my bladder maybe thhats why i cough and weeee well thats my excuse ;x

Post subject:
Hey Ladies the clips dont cut right through, they occlude the tube, allowing no blood to the tissue, no blood -no oxygen, tissue dies and falls off hence why you end up with bits stuck everywhere thats why i thought mine would be a mess with two clips to each tube, but not so, everything is really healthly. There is a lady on the Band B forum over 35 and ttc that had ligation at 22, reversal at 35 and has had a LO and expecting 2nd, so dont give up xxxxx

The Invasion continued with the women's basketball team debuting its music video, while the men's team entertained the crowd with dance moves of their own and even pulled spectators out of the crowd to dance with them.
The main event started with the three-point contest. Three players from the men's team and three from the women's team paired up with six total individuals from the crowd. In the end, it was Jasmine Shaw and her partner going up against James King and the fan he competed with. In the end, King and his partner were crowned champs.
Next up was a slam dunk contest, which featured Joy Williamson, Jelani Currie, Rashawn Thomas and back-to-back champion John Jordan competing in the event. The event featured jumping over a fan, between the leg slams and 360 jams. Jordan and Thomas advanced to the finals with Jordan defending his title.
Throughout the night fans received giveaways, got a special delivery from Domino's and participated in contests.
Season tickets are now available for the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's and women's basketball teams. Ticket packages start as low as $100 for the women, $129 for the men and $169 to see every home game for both teams. To purchase tickets, fans can call 825-BALL or visit GoIslanders.com.

Children's Health
Brain Scans Predict Dyslexia Improvements
Dec. 20, 2010 -- Scientists using brain scanning technologies say they have been able to predict with 90% accuracy which children with dyslexia will be able to improve reading skills over a period of a few years.
Researchers say their findings reveal activity in specific brain regions during reading that could eventually lead to new treatments for people with dyslexia.
"At this time, we cannot say which treatment type will each child benefit from," study researcher Fumiko Hoeft, MD, PhD, an imaging expert at Stanford University, tells WebMD in an email. "But with more research, and if researchers combine it with intervention studies, then we should be able to identify brain patterns that are predictive of responding to one type of intervention or another."
She says in a news release that the study "gives us hope that we can identify which children might get better over time" and that the findings represent "a huge step forward."
The discovery of brain regions involved in the learning disorder "may provide a mechanism for enduring improvement that promotes relatively successful reading development," according to the study, published in the Dec. 20 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Study Suggests Interventions to Help Dyslexics Learn to Read
Dyslexia is a learning disability that impairs a person's ability to read and affects 5% to 17% of children in the U.S. About 20% of youths with dyslexia develop adequate reading skills by the time they are adults.
But until now, what happens in the brain that permits improvement has not been known, the researchers say.
Brain imaging studies in the past have shown greater activation of specific brain regions in children and adults with dyslexia while they are performing reading-related tasks. In particular, an area known as the interior frontal gyrus seems to be hyperactivated in dyslexic people.
Hoeft and colleagues set out to determine whether neuroimaging could predict which children with dyslexia would gain improvement in reading skills, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI ), which shows oxygen use by areas in the brain, and diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI), which shows connections between brain areas.

Hello folks,
I use the 2,0,5,0 community on Ubuntu Karmic version.
I've never had problem to print an A4.
I wanted to print on an A3 and the drawing prints upper-left in an A4 format on the sheet.
If I print a .ps file and I transform into a pdf, the result is the same.
Is-it a bug or a restriction on the free version?
