After a very active offseason, the Detroit Pistons are preparing for a season with serious aspirations of finishing with a winning record for the first time since 2008.
With a lottery pick and nearly $20 million in cap space, general manager Joe Dumars spent the summer acquiring young players capable of improving the team immediately, thereby speeding up the rebuilding process.
Now the Pistons have their sights set on making the playoffs in a top-heavy Eastern Conference. With the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks overhauling their rosters, the final three playoff spots from a year ago are up for grabs.
Even with all their moves, the Pistons are not a lock for a spot. In addition to all the new faces on the roster, they have a new coach, Maurice Cheeks, with new offensive and defensive systems. There will inevitably be a learning curve with one of the youngest rosters in the NBA.
To make the playoffs, they will need big performances from returning players and new acquisitions alike in order to live up to their potential.

The application of the thermocouple has provided a new and exact technic for the determination of skin temperatures. The fineness of the instrument, however, has to a certain extent created a false impression as to the accuracy of the determinations. The inherent variability of the phenomena governing the level of the surface temperature has undergone little investigation, and its effect on the reliability of single determinations has been largely unchecked. In the present investigation an attempt was made to determine the magnitude of the variation to be expected in such a study.
The investigation was conducted in a windowless, brick-lined, circular room, the temperature of which was maintained between 23 and 24 C. and the air flow of which was so regulated as to be imperceptible to the nude subject. The relative humidity was measured at frequent intervals by a sling psychrometer. The subjects were male schizophrenic patients with

Help us keep education secular in Guatemala
Support Guatemala Humanist to keep education secular
Guatemala is a small country right in the middle of the American continent. Levels of poverty, crime and violence, as well as government corruption, are sky-high. These features are all part of a complex sociopolitical environment that involves social and economic inequality, very few opportunities for human development, an ineffective justice system, and an almost complete lack of education, housing, and health care for a very large part of the population.
All Guatemalans are very concerned and desperate to find a way out of this and we all strive to rebuild this country to leave a better place for our children. Since a large percentage of Guatemalans are religious believers (97%), many people turn to religion as a source of comfort in times of despair and associate all sorts of bad things with "turning away" from God. The Christian God, that is. Thus, the idea that the solution to everything is to be found in the Bible and its supposed "values" is a very popular one.
Over the course of the last 9 months, a congressman claiming he received "explicit instructions from God" during a "divine revelation," has been planning and writing a bill proposal gathering support from local Evangelical and Pentecostal churches and organizations. The proposed bill was presented to Congress last Wednesday (July 15th) in a religious act inside Congress.
ISIS, Crucified, Whipped and Detained 94 People for "Eating in Ramadan"
According to Alalam, SOHR documented 94 cases of "crucifixion, detaining inside metal cage and whip" carried out by ISIS in Ramadan in several areas held by terror group inside Syria.5 children and 2 old men whipped in the public streets and square in the provinces of Aleppo, al- Raqqa and Deir Ezzor since in the holy Ramadan Month.
The "sharia punishment" of eating in Ramadan included detaining 20 citizens inside cage, including a child, where ISIS fastened 2 cages in the two cities of al- Mayadin east of Deir Ezzor and the city of al- Raqqa, they also wandered with the citizens detained inside the cages in the town of Deir Hafer east of Aleppo.
SOHR also documented that ISIS hanged signs of "crucified full day and whipped 70 lashes for eating in Ramadan" and "not fast in Ramadan" in the necks of the detainees and crucified citizens.
Gaza explosions target cars of Hamas officials
According to Yahoo News, at least four explosions rocked Gaza City early Sunday, targeting cars belonging to officials from Islamic factions, including the territory's Hamas rulers. There was no claim of responsibility, but speculation immediately centered on supporters of the Islamic State group who have been battling with Hamas and other Islamic groups in the small coastal strip.
Hamas recently launched a fierce crackdown on alleged IS supporters and witnesses said a freshly painted Islamic State group flag was seen at the site of the explosions.
IS suspects held over 'plot' to attack Saudi mosques
According to BBC, Saudi security forces have arrested 431 suspected members of the Islamic State militant group, officials say.
They are accused of plotting suicide attacks on security forces and mosques in various parts of the country.
Most of the suspects are Saudi citizens, but they also include people from six nationalities, including Yemen and Syria, the interior ministry said.
Saudi Arabia is part of a US-led coalition carrying out air strikes against IS militants in Syria and Iraq.
Kenya's Westgate mall reopens nearly 2 years after tragedy
According to Hindustan Times, Kenya's Westgate shopping mall reopened for business on Saturday in the capital, nearly two years after Somali Islamists massacred 67 shoppers and staff in four days of carnage.
The complex, Nairobi's most upmarket shopping centre and a magnet for the east African nation's growing middle class and expatriates, was badly damaged in the assault by the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Shebab rebels and has undergone months of renovation.
Around 50 shoppers queued to be the first to pass through newly-installed metal detectors at the main entrance, after Nairobi governor Evans Kidero and Atul Shah, owner of the main regional supermarket chain Nakumatt, declared the mall back in business in a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Bomb blast hits Damaturu Eid prayer ground
According to Premium Times, A bomb has just exploded at the Eid prayer ground in Damaturu, Yobe state capital in Nigeria.
The Eid ground hit by the blast is located at an area called phase-one along Maiduguri Road.
A resident, Abdul Malik, told PREMIUM TIMES that "It happened at about 8am. Now we are being asked to return back home. Those that had gotten close to the Eid ground said many people were affected".
The two female suicide bombers included a 10-year-old girl, said Nigerian army spokesman Col Sani Usman.
UK will help US to destroy Islamic State
According to BBC, Britain is committed to working with the US to destroy the "caliphate" set up by Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, the prime minister has said.
David Cameron told US TV network NBC he wanted the UK to do more but said he needed to "take Parliament with him".
MPs voted against proposed military action in Syria two years ago.
Lord Richards, former chief of defence staff, called for a new strategy to defeat IS, saying he suspected ground troops would be deployed in the future.
India and Israel Start to See Enemies Within
By Pankaj Mishra
According to Bloomberg View, cultural revolutions are underway in two nation-states -- India and Israel -- founded by secular nationalists in the late 1940s. Right-wing demagogues, emerging in both countries from among previously unrepresented masses, seek to forge a new national identity by stigmatizing particular religious and secular groups.
There are eerie similarities between the Hindu thugs who assault Muslim males marrying Hindu women and followers of the far-right Israeli group Lehava (Flame), who try to break up weddings between Muslims and Jews.
More importantly, religious-political chauvinism is now amplified by figures in power as well. Last week, Israel's minister of religious services claimed that Reform Jews were not Jews. A minister in Narendra Modi's government has described Indian Muslims and Christians in India as "bastards."

Discussion: Batters Box
If you pitch, the batter's box definitely mattters. Hitters that have no limits in moving up in the box take the short pitch out as a posssibility.
Runners first and second, wanna pitch the guy short and inside to try and get a ground ball to 3rd, that option is gone.
Try to pitch deep, and the ump says it's over the top....and only when hell freezes over on a blue moon, does an ump call a guy out for hitting a ball while out of the box.
Damn shame....to have rules that don't get enforced.

Discussion: Batters Box
We play 50 Major, but I have played AAA as well. IMHO, be consistent within all the divisions, walks for everybody after the max number is reached.
Why? I've seen AA or AAA teams get hot and hit out 6-8 home runs. Are we going to penalize them? What for, for getting hot and having a real good game? It makes no sense for some divisions to have excessive HRs as outs and some as walks.
Be consistent, pick a number for each division, make the excess walks for all. End the madness...

You are spot on. Get the arc up a bit....wish that would happen, but it won't.

Yep, pitchers have always been a target....now they make them dress up so you can't miss them....sad.

The key is the right pitch. For big guys and power hitters that would be a chest high outside pitch. Drop the right foot in the bucket and the right shoulder with hit and swing away.

Discussion: where are all the pitchers
The rubbers aren't going anywhere, we only rent, not own those fields. But seeing balls hit the rubber is a very common occurrence, that shot directly up the middle is the toughest one to take.
As a pitcher, I would lobby for two things:
- one, a simple piece of string or rope tied on the chain link fence at 12 ft. Most umpires don't give you 12 feet, they give you their version of 12 ft, which is usually more like 10. Being able to actually throw the ball 12 feet high is a deterrent to hitting up the middle (it's usually that flat outside short pitch that comes back at you)and will reduce possible injuries. BTW, those are usually 3" chain link fences, so count 48 of them from the ground and you have your 12 feet. You'll be surprised how high that is compared to the pitches we are allowed to throw.
- two, throwing 12 feet helps decrease the home runs, and increase the fly ball outs. True, some guys are easily gonna hit them, but I think it helps. Teams complain the most when a pitcher is able to throw height.
The mask thing is a problem. I've already had two guys tell me they will no longer pitch in those tournaments, so I guess I'll have to pick up Jason to pitch for us.
BTW, is ISA gonna adopt the same rules? Anyone know? Thanks.

Discussion: suggestions to stop all the complaining about home runs & dead ball outs
Understand the point, but actually the fast food joints spend a lot of money conducting surveys with sizeable focus groups so as to get input.
I think there is a drastic difference in the approach here....
SSUSA has made a litigous choice as CYA which has nothing to do with the preservation of the fundamental setup of the game.
Players just wanted to have the same approach by the fast food joints, a "focus group" that could provide feedback.
BTW, you think Whopper sales would go down if everyone had to wear a mask when you walked in???

Discussion: where are all the pitchers
I understand your point, it's well taken and respected. And I've never been hit, but had some close calls. I just don't prefer it and MOST pitchers don't prefer it as well. Just like most pitchers don't prefer to wear hockey shin guards. But occasionally you see "Earl" puts them on and go to the mound.
Just believe the linking of the DBO rule and pitcher mask rule speaks for itself. And IMO humble opinion, choice with a waiver is a better option. Where does it stop? 1B, 3B, perhaps more?
You are right, there are more shaved bats in Senior Softball than anyone will openly talk about. And as a pitcher, many times just by sound I'll lay odds that the bat just used was shaved. But is the solution to put protective gear on the pitcher? IMO, I don't think so.
Thanks for listening...

Discussion: where are all the pitchers
I hate the mask and it's got problems of it's own.
1) Peripheral vision is significantly reduced
2) You will have more balls come up the middle, guys don't avoid it as much, what the heck, he's wearing a mask... it actually becomes a target. Guys who wear masks seem to get hit at more.
3) Ever try diving for a ball with the mask on? Count on getting cut or scraped on the face when your body hits the ground.
4) It's way hot, really hot. I can see the lawsuit for SSUSA coming, pitcher has sensitive skin, hot summer day causes a rashlike facial infection, infection penetrates the ears or eyes, SSUSA made me wear it, yeah, really great idea. And what happens when there's a broken arm, hand or leg from a shot up the middle? You think a lawyer is going to have a hard time making a correlation between the DBO rule and the requirement to wear a mask? In determiningg that 3-5 times as many balls are now hit up the midddle and that while the intent was to protect the pitcher, in reality SSUSA increased the chances that the pitcher might be injured. So who's going to pay the doctor and hospital bill for my client's permanent injury to his arm? And the pain and suffering damages?
5) It's goofy as hell. Almost looks like the guy just got off the short bus from school. That's right, I said it. Goofy looking as hell.
6)In 30+ years of softball and over 3000 plus games, which boils down to about 15,000+ innings, or 300,000+ pitches, I have seen a pitcher get hit in the face--- once.
7)With only a small percentage of pitchers wearing masks now, there's no real data on the downside or possible problems.
8)We have all seen the commercials and know what tragic events can happen...
If SSUSA forces the pitcher to wear a mask, more balls will be hit up the middle at you. And since more balls will be hit at you in the middle, you will be seriously injured in the arm or leg. And to go with your injury will be a nasty rash on your face. And when you get a rash on your face, no women will want you. And when no women want you, you will go insane. And when you go insane, your family must pay for treatment in the insane asylum. And when your family must pay for treatment in the insane asylum, your kids can no longer afford to obtain training with sufficient knowledge to acquire work skills. And when your kids can't afford to acquire sufficient knowledge to to have work skills, they turn to a life of crime, go to jail, and Bubba makes them comb the hair on his chest.
Don't send your kids to jail and make them comb Bubbas hair on his chest. Stop the mask wearing requirement and just have the pitcher sign the waiver.

Discussion: SSUSA shares DBO rationale Senior
There is a corequisite relationship between the home run DBO rule and rule change which requires the pitcher to wear a mask. And that is a bad thing for the game.....
IMO, rule changes to the game to solve division issues that SSUSA created and has full control over are a band aid for the symptom, rather than a solution for the problem with the Major Plus division.
There has to be a better way....

The Daughters of Mars (edition 2012)
by Thomas Keneally
Work details
The Daughters of Mars by Thomas Keneally
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An extraordinary story of Australian sisters serving as nurses during World War I, and the ways that the war transformed a relationship that was cordial but distant into a loving embrace of family and sisterhood. It is filled with warmth and heartbreak, and finely drawn characters who assert themselves in the reader's imagination with quiet authority. The horrors of war never lessen no matter how many books I read about it, and Keneally's setting the novel at various removes from the front does nothing to blunt the impact. The ending is heartbreakingly satisfying, and it will stay with me for a very long time.
Australian sisters, Naomi and Sally Durance volunteer as nurses at the beginning of World War I.
They will work as nurses in places ranging from Gallipoli to the Western Front.
I found Keneally's account of WWI battlefield medicine fascinating.
We see, through 2 obscure heroines, both the horrors and the miracles of war.
The agony of the wounded is balanced by cases of healing to the body, mind and spirit.
Futility is balanced by love.
It was noted that the author was inspired by " actual wartime diaries, historical hospitals, and real hospital ships"
I do caution that there is a fierce explicitness to descriptions of "gaping fissures in once healthy bodies."
Keneally leaves no stone of authenticity unturned.
The reader is left with a deeper understanding of the personal cost paid by the WWI soldier.
In doing MP3 audio, I may have missed the author's reference to the title (Daughters Of Mars)
My interpretation led me to Mars...the Roman mythological god of war.
Interesting novel, and absorbing enough, but I couldn't really see anything special about it.
I've done quite a bit of reading set in the World War I timeframe, but never had one set in the Dardanelles, nor did any of them feature Australian nurses. This one has been rightly described as epic. It is the story of sisters forming a mature adult relationship, it is the story of the horrors of war, the advances of battlefield medicine, and the heroism of women who left home to serve in far off lands.
About half-way through my read I was able to borrow a copy of the audio format and it was absolutely splendid. The print book has an excellent map inside the cover which made the reading even more enjoyable. Definitely a keeper and one to re-read and loan to friends.
Daughters of Mars is Thomas Keneally's epic story of World War I as seen through the eyes of two Australian sisters, Naomi and Sally, who are nurses that enlist. Carried first to Egypt, and then to the Dardanelles to nurse men savaged by the fighting at Gallipoli. Originally they are on the hospital ship Archimedes, but eventually the army can't resist using the hospital ship as a means to transport troops and horses to the front and they are torpedoed and sank. The sisters survive, but then are placed on the island of Lemnos and put under the control of a colonel who doesn't think battlefield nursing is meant for women.
The sisters originally have a rather strained relationship due to their sharing of a family secret but being constantly together and sharing the conditions and horrors of battlefield nursing draws them closer and they develop a friendship that strengthens their bond. Eventually they are moved on to France with Naomi in an English run hospital, Sally originally in an Australian and then transferred to a casualty clearing station. The author covers the Durance sisters war experience from 1914 to 1918 in great detail, but even at it's most intense, there was a detachment or a distance between the reader and the events being portrayed that kept me from being totally swept away by this story.
Overall, as one would expect, this is a grim but powerful book. The author doesn't hold back in his descriptions of the horror of untreatable wounds, the lack of medical equipment, the unflinching assembly line treatment that many soldiers received. But this is also the story of two women, their longing for new horizons, their lack of preparation for the butchery that they had to deal with, their relationship with each other and with the people that they meet along the way.
The Daughters of Mars is both a sweeping epic and a smaller more intimate revealing of these two woman's lives. This was an excellent read, but a couple of quibbles kept it from getting five stars, one was the distance from the story that I felt during the reading, and the second is the divided ending of which I wasn't a fan. However, seeing the war from this mostly medical viewpoint really brought home to me the ultimate cost in terms of human lives forever damaged and lost.

Well looking at the success of clan noob I was thinking of starting a similar clan, as clan noob has quite a few members. Its a free clan and anyone can join.
On the likely event that many people don't join the clan (touch wood some do join) ill close the clan with in the next 7 days
this would also be a great rival for clan noob as both clans have similar types of members.
Keep posted and tell me if you interested!
For the clan to be created we will need 8 members including my self.
8 people to create the clan and more can join

Here are some of the schools in Michigan for film, television, and digital media related programs including state universities, community colleges, and trade schools.
In order to teach a trade, occupation or vocation for a fee or consideration of any kind you must be licensed to operate a proprietary school by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (Reference: MCL 395.101). We will not be posting training opportunities except from licensed providers. For more information please go to www.michiganps.net
To have your education program posted, please email us at email@example.com
The Michigan Film & Digital Media Office does not endorse any postings on this page. We are simply notifying the public of these events, and urge you to use your best judgement regarding participation.
The Michigan Film & Digital Media Office is proud to partner with Google in an effort to promote computer science (CS) education in Michigan schools through the CS First program. CS First is a free program that increases student access and exposure to computer science education through after-school, in-school, and summer programs. All clubs are run by teachers and/or community volunteers.
The goals of the partnership between the Michigan Film & Digital Media Office and Google are to:
**Newly available for the upcoming school year, reward students who complete any of the various themes of the CS First program with Digital Badges** For more information CLICK HEREDetails about the program are available here: CS First Program (pdf)Read the CS First press release here: http://puremi.ch/1PmPtZQ

Governor Snyder has proclaimed December 7-13 as "Computer Science Education Week." It is our hope that every school district around the State of Michigan can incorporate a Hour of Code into their curriculum at some point in the coming week. Anybody can host an Hour of Code anytime, but the grassroots campaign goal is for tens of millions of students to try an Hour of Code during December 7-13, in celebration of Computer Science Education Week. Is it one specific hour? No. You can do the Hour of Code anytime during this week. You're welcome to split up the Hour of Code into multiple sessions so long as your students finish the Hour of Code tutorial. Just do whatever works best for you and your students. (And if you can't do it during that week, do it the week before or after).Download the Promotional FlyerRead the Proclamation Watch Governor Snyder's Video HereRead the Press ReleaseFor more information on Hour of Code visit: https://hourofcode.com/us and http://www.cs-first.com/content/hour-code-teachers For more information about the CS First program for Michigan schools, see above.
One of the goals of the Michigan Film & Digital Media Office has been to create and put in place educational competencies for all entities planning to offer training to develop new Michigan crew for the growing film industry.
Michigan Film Industry Job Competencies have been adopted by Michigan Film Office Advisory Council. These competencies are a standard that schools may voluntarily adopt as their measure to insure we have a skilled, trained, and quality educated film production workforce. Students may also refer to them as a guide to insure they are receiving the necessary education to be an effective candidate for a film production job in Michigan.
Link: Michigan Film Industry Competencies (pdf)
When considering a school students may want to ask the following questions as a guide to insuring they receive a quality education that properly prepares them for employment in the film production industry.
The answer to these questions will help the prospective student make an informed decision as to the best school for their specific needs.
