|Isaiah Thomas wants Team USA to look at him for Olympics: 'I wish I could get a chance'
|06.10.16 at 7:28 pm ET
Isaiah Thomas is nothing if not honest.
He spent the last couple of weeks pushing hard for Kevin Durant to come to Boston and join him on the Celtics.
Now, the 5-foot-9 dynamo is making another pitch. He wants to play on Team USA in Rio.
"I wish I could get a chance to play on the USA team!" Thomas tweeted Friday evening. "Looking at the history of it, I've never seen a small guard selected 2 even try out."
Of course, the most famous "Dream Team" snub involved Thomas' namesake in 1992 in Spain, when the Pistons' Isiah Thomas was not offered a spot. Many theories have been suggested over the years. The most common involves Thomas burning a bridge with Michael Jordan when he led a walk-off against Jordan and the Bulls at the end of the 1991 Eastern finals, a move that struck a raw nerve with Jordan.
This Thomas has no such intention of burning a bridge.
USA Basketball will have a 12-man roster in Rio. ESPN reported Friday that Kings forward (and a player perpetually tied to the Celtics) DeMarcus Cousins has been selected.
There's a who's who list of NBA stars who have already turned down Team USA, including NBA MVP Stephen Curry, LaMarcus Aldridge Anthony Davis, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and John Wall.
The Celtics' point guard would seem to be a natural fit to replace the likes of Curry, Wall or Paul.
I wish I could get a chance to play on the USA team! Looking at the history of it I've never seen a small guard get selected 2 even try out

|NBA draft prospect profile: Boise State SF James Webb III
|06.10.16 at 4:20 pm ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2016 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of prospective picks. The Celtics have amassed eight picks: 3, 16, 23, 31, 35, 45, 51, 58. The draft will be held June 23 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Position: Small forward
School: Boise State
Age: 22 (turns 23 on Aug. 19)
Height: 6-foot-9
Weight: 202 pounds
Wingspan: 6-foot-11
Key 2015-16 stats: 16.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals
Scouting report: Webb, projected to be a late-second-round pick, is a player who can play both the small forward and the power forward position efficiently. He's incredibly explosive and quick, but he'll need to increase his body strength to fit in with other NBA small forwards. He shot 61.6 percent from inside the arc his junior year, which is a result of good shot selection. He excels at finishing around the rim and gets open easily with his off-ball movement.
Yet when watching Webb, it's clear that he needs to improve in various areas. Webb has good height for a small forward, but he's thin and gets pushed around down low, so he needs to fill out his frame to compete with the NBA's general physicality. He needs to be able to create his own shots on the floor, and that includes fixing his jump shot. After shooting 40.9 percent from deep last season, Webb took a major step back, connecting on only 21.9 percent of his 3-point attempts this year. Webb admitted that his jump shot fundamentals is one of the main things he's working on this summer.
"I didn't really shoot the ball as well as I did last year, so [NBA teams] just want to see that," Webb said in an interview with Basketball Insiders. "We've been working with Ben Simmons here on just tweaking a few things. It's nothing major, like you said, just dipping the ball a little bit, working on keeping it high, and just getting my shot off in the mid-range."
Notes: Webb began his collegiate career at North Idaho College before transferring to Boise State his sophomore year. In his redshirt junior season, Webb made All-Mountain West first team and scored in double figures 24 times in the season. He will attempt to be the first Bronco selected in the NBA draft since 1999.

|NBA draft prospect profile: UNLV C Stephen Zimmerman
|06.10.16 at 12:57 pm ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2016 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of prospective picks. The Celtics have amassed eight picks: 3, 16, 23, 31, 35, 45, 51, 58. The draft will be held June 23 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Position: Center
School: UNLV
Age: 19 (turns 20 on Sept. 9)
Height: 7-foot-0
Weight: 234 pounds
Wingspan: 7-foot-3
Key 2015-16 stats: 10.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks
Scouting report: A 7-footer with excellent size and length, Zimmerman is a natural-born rebounder and rim protector. He has good hands and has flashed potential of becoming a dependable post scorer in the NBA. Zimmerman is able to hit a mid-range jumper as well as dive toward the hoop, making him an ideal pick-and-roll option. He also has great offensive awareness, keeping his head on a swivel and making nice passes from the block.
A projected late-first-round pick, Zimmerman said the plan was always for him to be a one-and-done player.
"At the beginning of the year … we sat down with all the coaches and they said based on my work ethic and my skill level, if I didn't leave after the first year, they feel they did their job wrong," Zimmerman told the Detroit Free Press. "It was kind of set from the beginning for me to progress and play at this level."
Zimmerman is a nice player, but there isn't one thing he's elite at yet. His focus could be better on the court, as his laid-back personality has hurt him at times. He has to work to be more mean and aggressive against opponents, especially for a player his size. His post game will have to be developed, and his free throw percentage (62 percent last season) could be better considering his mid-range jump shot.
Notes: Zimmerman finished third in the Mountain West Conference in rebounds and second in blocks per game after being named the conference's Preseason Freshman of the Year. … He had a 35-inch vertical leap and a 30-inch standing vertical leap at the NBA draft combine.

|NBA draft prospect profile: UConn PG Daniel Hamilton
|06.10.16 at 10:43 am ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2016 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of prospective picks. The Celtics have amassed eight picks: 3, 16, 23, 31, 35, 45, 51, 58. The draft will be held June 23 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Position: Shooting guard
School: UConn
Age: 20 (turns 21 on Aug. 8)
Height: 6-foot-7
Weight: 197 pounds
Wingspan: 6-foot-9
Key 2015-16 stats: 12.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists
Scouting report: Hamilton, who is leaving UConn after his sophomore season, is a defensive rebounding machine (8.1 per game). It is rare for a guard to be able to grab as many rebounds as Hamilton does, but the high number of rebounds shows Hamilton's hustle and anticipation skills. Hamilton also uses those skills to be a successful facilitator. This past season there were only three players in the nation who had more than five assists and 10 rebounds per 40 minutes: LSU's Ben Simmons, BYU's Kyle Collingsworth and Hamilton.
At the next level it is unlikely that Hamilton will be a point guard because of his inability to be an efficient scorer. According to Synergy Sports Technology, Hamilton converted only 41.6 percent of his 2-point shots and 42.7 percent of his shots around the rim. Those low percentages are due in large part to poor shot selection. Rebounding is Hamilton's only strength on defense. He needs to improve his defensive discipline before he succeeds at the next level. Hamilton is predicted to be drafted late in the second round, if he is drafted at all.
Notes: Hamilton had 63 points and 34 rebounds for UConn in the AAC Tournament. For his performance he was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Then in two games in the NCAA Tournament he totaled 28 points and 18 rebounds. … Hamilton was named all-conference second team this year, and was the AAC Rookie of the Year in 2014-15. … All four of Hamilton's older brothers have either played or currently are playing Division 1 college basketball. One brother, Jordan, has had stints with four NBA teams (most recently the Pelicans this year) since being drafted 26th overall in 2011 out of Texas.

|NBA draft prospect profile: New Mexico State PF Pascal Siakam
|06.09.16 at 3:47 pm ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2016 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of prospective picks. The Celtics have amassed eight picks: 3, 16, 23, 31, 35, 45, 51, 58. The draft will be held June 23 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Position: Power forward
School: New Mexico State
Age: 22
Height: 6-foot-9
Weight: 227 pounds
Wingspan: 7-foot-3
Key 2015-16 stats: 20.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.2 blocks
Scouting report: Siakam uses his intimidating wingspan and high motor to have his way in the paint. He isn't overly impressive on the offensive end, but the big man can score on putbacks and dump-ins with the best of them. Siakam's hustle helps him rebound with ease, as well as get down to the other end of the court quickly for a big. He also is surprisingly capable of staying in front of guards on defense. While Siakam may lack a wide range of post moves, he has shown potential on his midrange jumper. One NBA team will hope that he can make the necessary adjustments to his jump shot in order to thrive as a stretch four.
Siakam, projected to go anywhere from late first round to late second round, worked out for the Celtics on June 6, with his focus being to display his high energy level. "I'm just trying to show that I'm a competitor," Siakam said during his visit. "I come to this workout and do what I do best; I'm not trying to force anything."
While Siakam does have great wingspan for a power forward, he's a little too thin and will need to fill out his frame and work on his strength down low. His limited post moves have become too predictable, and at 22 years old, there may not be much upside to his game. He is a fairly well-rounded prospect, but there's also plenty to work on.
Notes: Siakam led the nation in double-doubles with 22 in 32 games this past season. He was named the unanimous WAC Player of the Year and made the conference's All-Defensive Team. … He grew up playing soccer in Cameroon before moving to the United States in 2012. … He is the youngest of four brothers who all played Division 1 basketball. … Siakam will attempt to be the first player from NMSU drafted since 1991.

|Celtics Choice: Oklahoma guard Buddy Hield vs. Kentucky guard Jamal Murray
|06.09.16 at 1:38 pm ET
In the days leading up to June 23's NBA draft, we examine what the Celtics could do with the No. 3 overall pick and how they should approach this pivotal offseason. In that spirit, we present "Celtics choice."
Today: Using the No. 3 pick to draft a scorer — Oklahoma senior Buddy Hield, or Kentucky freshman Jamal Murray.
The case for Hield
Did you watch a second of college basketball this season? Hield was a monster, adding dribble penetration and increased range to his explosive offensive game. He averaged 25 points a game and shot .457 from 3-point territory. His shot chart is off the charts, with above-average production from everywhere on the floor except the left baseline. As a senior, he's more polished than most of the teens and freshmen coming out this year, including Murray. And he demonstrated an ability to hit big, clutch shots throughout his senior year, leading the Sooners to the Final Four, where they lost to Villanova, the eventual champs.
The case against Hield
The senior thing actually works against him among NBA types concerned that he's already at or near his ceiling. There are also legitimate questions about his foot speed and ability to create his own shot at the next level, especially since he's only 6-4 and won't have the benefit of simply shooting over the top of smaller defenders, a la Reggie Miller or Klay Thompson. He's also considered a subpar defender, though Brad Stevens could change that. The biggest knock on Hield is that he's a finished product with not a lot of room to grow, and in the NBA everyone loves the ability to daydream about best-case projections.
The case for Murray
He's one confident young man, that's for sure. He told reporters, including WEEI.com's Mike Petraglia, after his Celtics workout that he considers himself the best player in the draft, and he opened eyes by making a draft-workout record 79 out of 100 3-pointers during one Celtics drill. His college coach, John Calipari, believes the Sixers should take him No. 1 overall. He made over 40 percent of his 3-pointers as a freshman and has the kind of stroke that projects to play in the NBA, particularly as he develops. Murray is a weapon pulling up off the dribble or coming off screens, and probably a better pure shooter than Hield, who only made 23.5 percent of his 3s as a college freshman.
The case against Murray
He opened the season as Kentucky's point guard, but ball-handling and decision-making limitations opened the door for Tyler Ulis, and Murray excelled off the ball. Still, at 6-4, he'll need to develop better ball security to thrive in the NBA. The biggest question, however, is Murray's athleticism. He struggled to finish at the rim in college, and that task will get exponentially harder in the NBA. He lacks the lateral quickness to defend NBA guards, and he's not much of a leaper. While his pure shooting ability makes him a solid NBA prospect, he'd be a real gamble at No. 3, especially since he probably will need at least two years to make an impact.
The Verdict
Murray's shooting numbers as a freshman blow away Hield's at the same age, and a lot of the questions we had about Hield (creating shot, dribble penetration) were answered over the final three years of his college career. If — and this is a big if — Murray makes similar improvements, he'll be a better pro. In the short term, the answer is Hield, but long-term, we'd roll the dice on Murray.

|NBA draft prospect profile: Marquette PF Henry Ellenson
|06.09.16 at 12:33 pm ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2016 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of prospective picks. The Celtics have amassed eight picks: 3, 16, 23, 31, 35, 45, 51, 58. The draft will be held June 23 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Position: Power forward
School: Marquette
Age: 19
Height: 6-foot-10
Weight: 242 pounds
Wingspan: 7-foot-2
Key 2015-16 stats: 17.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists
Scouting report: Ellenson has the potential to be an offensive force in the NBA, which is why he could be drafted in the top 10. Ellenson has been deemed to have a natural scoring ability, and his ball-handling skills combined with his long frame creates mismatch nightmares for defenders, especially in pick-and-roll situations. This past season at Marquette, Ellenson only hit 29 percent of the 3's he took, but some analysts believe that the low success rate is due to shot selection, not capability. ESPN draft analyst Chad Ford recently watched Ellenson at a workout and said, "While his release is a bit on the slow side, he had great shooting form and showed he could hit shots with regularity from anywhere on the floor." Ford also reported Ellenson was working on developing a step-back jumper, which would add another weapon to an already deadly mid-range arsenal.
Ellenson's weakness is on the defensive side of the court. This is concern about his lack of explosiveness that could make it difficult for him to protect the rim, and his inability to get out the perimeter quickly could hurt him when guarding quicker power forwards. Further hurting Ellenson is that Marquette as a whole was not good this past season and failed to qualify for even the NIT.
Nonetheless, Ellenson is confident in his abilities. "I'm thinking I'm a top pick," Ellenson said at the NBA combine. "[Teams that I have interviewed with] all think that, too. It is a good position to be in, for sure."
Notes: Ellenson was named the Big East Freshman of the Year and landed a spot on the All-Big East first team, which is the first time a freshman has done that since Syracuse's Carmelo Anthony in 2003. … Ellenson comes from quite the basketball family. His father, John, played for Marquette and Wisconsin. His mother, Holly, played at Division 3 Wisconsin-Eau Claire. His oldest brother, Wally, played with him at Marquette (after transferring from Minnesota) and is an All-America high jumper for the school's track and field team. His other older brother, Ellwood, plays NAIA college basketball for Valley City State in North Dakota. And his sister, Ella, is wrapping up her junior year of high school as a Division 1 college prospect.

Twice Wednesday night, the Highlands volleyball team had match point against Eastern New Mexico only to watch opportunity disappear.
Eastern (6-22) won 25-17, 25-22, 24-26, 22-25, 20-18 at Greyhound Arena in Portales. NMHU fell to 11-17 after the non-league match.
Highlands led 13-9 in the fifth set following a 6-0 run that included kills by Ashley Nugent, Dominique Benton, Kelsey Groff and Brooke Tuttle.

While the Fort Lewis College women's soccer team has enjoyed lofty national rankings this fall, unlike the Skyhawks' first-round Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament opponent New Mexico Highlands, not much has separated them on the pitch.
On Sept. 30 at Perkins Stadium, the Cowgirls lost 3-2 in overtime to Fort Lewis, then the No. 3 ranked team in NCAA Division II.
Then on Oct. 23, the Skyhawks held on for a 2-1 verdict in Durango, Colo. FLC was ranked 14th at the time.
New Mexico State's women's basketball team got a Halloween night scare courtesy of the visiting New Mexico Highlands Cowgirls, who pushed the Aggies to overtime before losing 81-75 in a season-opening exhibition game at the Pan Am Center in Las Cruces.
Four straight free throws in OT by forward Tabytha Wampler sealed the win for New Mexico State.
Whitley Coca paced the Cowgirls with 18 points on 6 of 12 shooting.
A strong effort in barrel racing proved key in lifting New Mexico Highlands' women to a runner-up finish in New Mexico State's rodeo Oct. 28-29 in Las Cruces.
Unlike the previous three rodeos, NMSU's rodeo was just a one-header, which means there was no short round competition. The NMHU women finished in second place just behind NMSU, while the men's team ended up fourth.
The event in which the most purple vests succeeded was the barrel racing, where NMHU captured second, third, fourth and sixth places.
Defending state champion Antonio Varela cruised to another individual District 2-2A title this past Friday in Pojoaque, continuing an exceptional autumn for the Pecos senior.
Varela's 15:17 time gave him his seventh win in nine races this season and staked the Panthers to a boys' team title.
Also crossing the finish line first on Friday was Mora sophomore Santiana Marrujo in the girls' race. Marrujo finished the course in 20:08 and led the Rangerettes to a third-place team outcome behind Peñasco and Santa Fe Prep.

Between them, Robertson soccer coaches Ray Parks and Clarence Montoya have won a number of district championships or runner-up finishes and they've been to more than a few state tournaments over the past decade and a half.
Until now, however, they and their RHS teams have never gotten out of the first round at state.
Saturday, then, was a breakthrough for both programs as the Lady Cardinals and Cardinals dominated first-round matches with Rehoboth and Santa Fe Prep, respectively, to reach the round of eight.

JTW team has conducted an extensive interview with Prof. Ihsan Bal, Head of USAK Science Committee, on the peace-making process with the outlawed PKK, discussing the historical background of the issue and potential risks it bears for Turkey.
Prof. Ihsan Bal: In 2000s, considerable steps for the Kurdish issue were taken within the scope of democratization moves as a part of EU accession process. These steps included many rights for Kurds such as freedom of expression and the official recognition of their ethnic culture and identity. Besides, the wrongdoings of 1990s were tried to be compensated by initiatives including zero tolerance to torture and the project of returning expatriate locals back to their former villages. Conversely; the attacks to civilians and police stations increased dramatically throughout 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The consistent motivation to find an answer to the question "what kind of policies should we produce against the violence and attacks that occur despite of all the efforts?" paved the way for the future initiatives. It was predicted that PKK and its terrorist activities could be eliminated via an initiative which will open dialogue channels to solve both Kurdish problem and PKK terrorism. Against expectations, terrorists coming from Habur Border Gate with the excuse of repentance took advantage of the situation to legitimize their entrance to Turkey. They even started to give conferences in different places. Considering the political inexperience, we can say that the first initiative process was not successfully concluded.
Now, we are in a new negotiation process which mostly depends on the talks with Abdullah Öcalan, jailed leader of PKK. . This solution process has both risks and advantages that can be experienced in some cases. The strongest risk includes the paradox that the negation talks will be held with the leader of a terrorist group and the demands and ideas of an armed group are planned to be discussed in the Turkish Great National Assembly. To be more open, such an action may mean legitimizing this terrorist organization and its leader in the eyes of the public. Demanding release of KCK prisoners in return for the people kidnapped by PKK constitutes the outcome of the paradox.
The second risk is addressing Öcalan as the main actor of the peace-making process. When we place Öcalan in the core of the solution process as a figure who has spent years in generating terrorist strategies, it will be rather difficult to say that terror is a useless strategy. It is also possible to give a social recognition to Öcalan who has not long ago said that "if we want, we can start such a war that 30.000 people can be killed in a day". Hence, the current point is very risky and should be handled with meticulous care. If Öcalan gains an identity as a man who started the war and helped bring the peace, it will give harm to Turkey's interests. The process should include political, social actors; not people resorting to violence. Another risk is the continuing lack of international publicity with regard to the process. Through the first initiative, Ahmet Davutoğlu as the Foreign Minister was closely engaged in the process and visited different capitals. This time, conversely, Davutoğlu is not an active player. Regarding to the international dimension of the issue, the government has come to an agreement only with Barzani administration. We still do not have an active negotiation with important international actors such as the EU and Iran.
As a concluding remark, the importance of keeping the stability of society in Turkey should be highlighted. Similar to the fact that sudden changes in weather conditions have an influence over health status of people, sudden changes in politics and social discussions may affect the health of a whole country. What should be done here is approaching the process with extreme care, providing a coalition and cooperation between the ruling party and the opposition parties, and protecting the stability of the society by integration into the process through public discussions and consultation meetings. Peace cannot be provided by ignoring the risks or waiting silently instead of generating alternative ways.

The bill will likely pass with significant support, since most Republicans support the change in status for Russia, which allows the U.S. to benefit from Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization. But many Democrats are expected to support it as well, since it includes language allowing for sanctions against Russian officials involved in human-rights violations.
The Russia bill is the only one planned for Friday, after which the House will adjourn for the Thanksgiving break.
The Senate is out Friday, having adjourned Thursday after making some progress on a bill aimed at increasing access to federal land by hunters and fishermen (the Senate voted to end debate on the bill). Senate Democrats had also hoped to start work on the National Defense Authorization Act this week, but that bill is being delayed by a fight over amendments.

The trek shoots up from the local village of Guner Das some 15 kilometers beyond Chilas and the jeep trek takes about 2 hours to reach the Jeep stop which is also the Diamoro Village in the middle of the North-western flank of Himalayas. The jeep trek is less scary and steep as compared to the one that leads to the Fairy meadows but is a longer one and pliable by jeeps and locally operating station wagons alike.
No fewer than 33 climbers lost their lives before the first successful assent from the Raikot side by Austrian Herman Buhl.
The most attempted routes from the Diamir side include the "Messner Route" aka "Messner Solo 1978" which constitutes to a relatively longer route to the summit starting from the base of the Diamir glacier and making a longer loop on the southern side. This route bypasses the hanging seracs at 6200m and crosses the Merkl Notch before reaching the top.
On June 21, 1962, Low, Kinshofer, Mannhardt, Sturm and Anderl reached Camp 4 at 7150m just around the Bazhin Basin and pushed for the summit the very next morning at 1 a.m.
Alex Txikon, Simone Moro and Ali Sadpara also chose the Kinshofer Route for the first successful winter ascent on Feb 26, 2016.
Mummery Rib is also one of the center attractions for climbers since the route has never been completed to the top. Italian Daniele Nardi successfully covered the Mummery Rib 6450m in 2013 but had to descend later because of climbing difficulties.
Mummery Route is one of the most direct routes to the top thereby also poses considerable difficulty with steep rocky ribs and little help for an easy climb. Mummery, 1895, wanted to reach the summit via this route climbing light with few provisions and some firewood which was found by an expedition 44 years later.
Diamir Face continues to be the pinnacle of human endurance with an ostentatious climbing history spanning more than 100 years. Lack of visitors to this difficult trek has kept it in serene and unspoiled condition, offering breathtaking sites and places.

Solutions for Chapter 2.3
The structure of carbon dioxide molecules is such that, when carried inside red blood cells, it allows for binding at different sites than oxygen on the hemoglobin molecule. Thus, oxygen and carbon dioxide do not compete for the same binding site. Carbon monoxide, however, competes with oxygen for the same binding sites on the hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobin molecules have a higher affinity for carbon monoxide than for oxygen, and carbon monoxide will capture the available binding sites over time. Thus, the body's tissues will be deprived of oxygen leading to impaired homeostasis and death.

Although the SCO Group had a few advocates at the start of its litigation marathon, things have gone quiet in the SCO corner recently. And this comes as no surprise – the course that SCO has taken has proved to be an expensive path due to skyrocketing legal costs. SCO's recent petitions have not been very impressive, and some observers expect the court to comply with IBM's petition and close the proceedings for good. Kudos to the hard-working reporters from Groklaw.net [1] who have published the minutiae of the proceedings for all to read.

Artifacts and Shipwreck Stories -- Sword Handle, Reale Weights, A Pirate's Window
North Carolina
United States
Conference Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
GREENVILLE, N.C. – Stories from a pirate's life continue to unfold as artifacts are recovered and conserved from the wreck of the presumed Queen Anne's Revenge (QAR), Blackbeard's flagship, off the North Carolina coast. A media event at the QAR Conservation Lab at East Carolina University on Dec. 14 at noon previewed some of the objects. Artifacts from the fall expedition at the shipwreck site, along with artifacts being transferred to the N.C. Maritime Museum (NCMM) in Beaufort, were shown. The N.C. Department of Cultural Resources (www.ncculture) oversees research of the wreck.
The Maritime Museum will exhibit some of the newly transferred artifacts starting Dec. 18, which also will be exhibited at the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh in January. A major exhibit of Queen Anne's Revenge artifacts will open at the Maritime Museum in June 2011.
A portion of an ornate bronze sword, called a quillon block, embellished with decorative scroll work, has been conserved and is transferring to the N.C. Maritime Museum. This fine object may well have been acquired on some "pirate adventure." Also transferring are two reale weights, coin weights used to verify the value of silver coins. In the early 1700s, coins were not yet milled and had smooth edges. The silver coins could unscrupulously be filed or chiseled (giving rise to the term "chiseler") and the coin devalued. Glass panes from the window of the captain's cabin also are being transferred. It is through these panes that Blackbeard would have looked out onto the sea.
Artifacts that will remain at the QAR Conservation lab include an antler sword handle, with remains of an iron sword blade that is part of the quillon block transferring to NCMM. Two pewter plates, from among dozens recovered so far, are being shown in tanks, along with wood fragments, bone and other objects from earlier life at sea. The 122 artifacts and concretions recovered this fall add to the hundreds of thousands gathered from the shipwreck site, which is 50% recovered.
This wreck was located in November 1996 by Intersal, Inc., with information provided to Operations Director Mike Daniel by company president Phil Masters. Archaeologists with the Underwater Archaeology Branch in the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources lead the research on this shipwreck.
For additional information call (919) 807-7389. The Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project and the N.C. Maritime Museum are within the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources, the state agency dedicated to the promotion and protection of North Carolina's arts, history and culture, and podcasting 24/7 with information about the Department of Cultural Resources at www.ncculture.com.

Our project had recently reached a halway point to our goal. Thank you so much for helping us get here! The money raised through this project go to patients who have traveled far from home and sometimes have no one else to ask for support.
Our latest support recipient is the family of a four-year-old Sofia from Russia. In 2013 she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At first, the disease did not respond to treatment and it took seven months of high-dose chemotherapy to finally get it under control. Bone marrow transplantation was also done due to high risk of the relapse. Unfortunately, just ten months later, Sofia spiked fever and lost her appetite. Control tests diagnosed return of leukemia. For Sofia, it meant that nothing else can be done in Russia, and her parents took her to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas for the second opinion. She is now undergoing treatment and will have to stay in Texas for a long time.
We have recently provided the family with $1,500 to help pay the lodging bills. Thanks again for your support of the patients!
During 2014 our project helped 7 cancer patients from the former Soviet Union with the costs of lodging when they traveled abroad for access to quality care. The patients varied from a two-year-old boy from Russia to a 60-year-old grandmother from Uzbekistan. Uniting all of them was the cancer diagnosis and the lack of adequate treatment options at home. Thanks to supporters like you they were able to travel abroad and receive appropriate therapy.
So far this year we have been able to support another young patient, Alikhan from Kazakhstan. This 4-year-old has already been fighting leukemia for over a year. The disease retreated after the initial treatment, but remission was short, and he relapsed after just four months. He now needs to undergo transplantation of bone marrow from one of his parents, and this procedure is not done in his home country. Although the government of Kazakhstan paid a portion of the costs of treatment, it does not help with the travel and lodging expenses. Our support covered a month of lodging for the family, and they are very grateful for the reduced financial burden.
Woud you like to help more patients like Alikhan? Then donate today, March 18th, during GlobalGiving Bonus Day! Each donation to our project (up to $1,000 per donor) will be able to get a 30% bonus - but only while the funds last. So donate early - the matching starts at 8 am CDT.
Thank you for staying with us!
We are happy to report that we were able to help seven cancer patients with the costs of lodging this year. These patients had to travel far away from home - to Germany, USA, Israel and Singapore. Your donation made a lot of difference for these patients and I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your generosity and compassion.
Unfortunately, continuing instability, corruption and low government spending on healthcare in the fomer Soviet Union still drives many cancer patients to seek help abroad where qualified medical care is readily available. Recently, we received a request for help from the parents of a ten-year-old Danylo who was diagnosed with a brain tumor 4 years ago. He had two surgeries to remove it in his native Ukraine. Then, at a consultation in Israel, it was discovered that the tumor was not as aggressive, as Ukrainian doctors thought, and Danylo only needed regular evaluations for the last 18 months. However, during the latest round of tests in Israel, a continued growth of the tumor was detected. Now Danylo needs to travel to Israel as soon as possible to have more treatment, and his parents are scrambling to raise funds.
With the help of supporters like you we will make sure to help Danylo and other patients needing access to adequate medical care. Thanks again for staying with us! Wishing you joy, peace and prosperity in the New Year!
Our new little patient is a 2.5 year-old Maxim from an eastern Siberian city of Ulan-Ude. Maxim was born premature, but he quickly caught up with his peers and was developing well. But then, at 18 months of age, Maxim's parents noticed an odd glow in his left eye. After the tests, retinoblastoma (retina cancer) was discovered in both of his eyes. Unfortunately, nothing could be done to save Maxim's left eye and it was removed surgically. The doctors also predicted that Maxim's right eye would lose vision after undergoing laser therapy.
Maxim's parents decided to get a second opinion and traveled to Memorial Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. There Maxim received chemotherapy that shattered the tumor and laser therapy on remaining small lesions. The therapy was successful and Maxim is now recovering. He will also need to be followed closely for the next few years to ensure any recurrence is discovered and treated promptly.
Please help us support Maxim's family with their travel expenses to New York City! During upcoming Bonus Day on Wednesday, October 15th, your donation will be matched 30%. Donate early - starting at 9 am EDT - to make sure your donation makes even more difference.
Thank you for your support!
We have some good news to share. In June we helped a young man from Dagestan travel to Italy for surgery on his spine. Five years ago Mansur hurt his back while playing soccer, and since then he has been suffering from increasing weakness in his legs that left him in a wheelchair by 19 years of age.
Over time, Mansur traveled to over a dozen of clinics around Russia, but none of them was able to offer anything other than physical therapy. We helped Mansur find a specialist in Italy who recommended surgery to strengthen his spine and prevent further deterioration. After the procedure Mansur's condition improved significantly: he no longer has seizures or back pains, and can walk on his own. With appropriate rehabilitation, he should continue to improve over time.
We were happy to help Mansur with the costs of lodging while in Italy and wish him complete recovery. Your support made a very tangible difference for this young man. Thank you very much!
On July 16th you can make even more impact during Bonus day. All donations of $1000 or less will earn 50% bonus. So donate early - starting at 9 am EDT - as bonus funds tend to run out quickly. And if you like what we do, tell your friends!
Thanks again for everything that you do.

amazing how much would you charge for something like this as a commission? Even if it was rougher than this as I am looking to get multiple concepts done.
! Man, getting the color you do is really impressive...
Excellent WIPs, especially the lighting/shadowing on the bottom one. I'd love to see either of them as a finished piece. Keep having fun.
Both are excellent pieces.
i am wondering ... how long have you spent on one ?
Well, I spent more time on the bottom one than the top, but honestly I have no idea. For now on I'll keep track of my times better I hope haha
reminds me of lord of the rings
top one is my back yard 4 billion years ago and bottom is how it is now lol nice painting man
Yea I really like the bottom one! Amazing setting.
good work.
Very cool scenes
The top one looks like a realistic version of some levels from the New Super Mario Bros games The bottom one looks great too, I thought it was a Vue render at first
haha, Mario Bros. I miss playing those games, haven't seen able to play any since my gamecube died several years back

The Scottish Beaver Trial, which saw 11 wild Eurasian beavers reintroduced to Scotland's Knapdale forest in Argyll, has published its final report.
27 November 2014
The Great Barrier Reef, a world-heritage area, shared its beauty with over 400 citizen scientists for two days in October this year, as part of Reef Blitz. In one of Australia's most bio diverse rich regions, the community gathered to identify and collect data on the unique plants and animals living in and around the Reef.
Earthwatch has partnered with companies like HSBC and Shell for years to achieve a better understanding of forest responses to habitat fragmentation and climate change. Dr. Alan Jones became the lead scientist on the project in January 2014 and reflects on the steep learning curve he has experienced since then.
25 November 2014
In early November, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued its fifth and most in-depth report on climate change. The results were grim, as climate change reports these days tend to be. The atmosphere and oceans have warmed, the amount of snow and ice has diminished, sea levels have risen, and the concentration of carbon dioxide has increased. Our influence on the climate system is real and growing every day.
17 November 2014
New ideas for a UK-based citizen science project are being sought by Earthwatch.
We are looking to develop and support a new flagship project that meaningfully involves members of the public in data collection. The project must contribute new knowledge to scientific priorities and inform plans or policies to improve management and stewardship of biodiversity, ecosystems or land/seascapes.
The project will engage and inspire the public, increase awareness, and foster pro-conservation behaviour and environmental stewardship. We are looking to collaborate with project leaders who have a strong interest in science communication and public engagement to facilitate interactions and outcomes beyond academia.
28 October 2014
In December, Earthwatch's new Lead Scientist Dr. Cristina Eisenberg will join Climate Change and Caterpillars in Costa Rica. Led by University of Nevada's Dr. Lee Dyer, the aim of the project is to study the complex relationships between caterpillars, the plants they eat, the parasitoids that eat them, and the climate changes that will reshape the rainforest.
24 October 2014
Earthwatch joins thousands of environmental leaders at the sixth prestigious World Parks Congress November 12th -19th. Happening once every 10 years, this year will set the agenda on Protected Areas Management for the next decade.
It's not often a C-level (CEO, CFO, COO) executive can combine family, business and science! However, last weekend, Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, Michelle Joy, Director of the Earthwatch Foundation harnessed the opportunity by inviting 6 leaders and their families on an Earthwatch Expedition.
21 October 2014
Paleontologist Dr. Larry Agenbroad is a rare gem who doesn't just live life; he inspires passion in the lives of others. For more than 40 years, he has been the site director of the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, South Dakota: the longest continuous Earthwatch project in existence. In 2014, Dr. Larry Agenbroad will retire from the Mammoth Site, but the memory of his expeditions will continue to ignite and inspire the lives of the Earthwatch volunteers he touched. The following is a mere snapshot of the reams of lives he has touched, and his scientific contributions.
17 October 2014
Many people long to see animals, which human impacts have made locally extinct, brought back to the UK. Last night an audience of about 1000 listened to the complex issue through the personal experiences of five speakers working on the "front line" of rewilding, at the Earthwatch debate at the Royal Geographical Society in London.

Thanks aquabunny for replying to the question. I just got on the computer. You answered way better than I could have. It's like if someone asked me what chocolate was I'm not trying to make the questioner feel bad for asking the question...it's just one that is hard to answer.
I have lots of clip art saved in files, but for quick and easy (and with a good virus scanner working) I just google what I want, like "free clipart turkey with hat" and it's amazing what all shows up. Sometimes it's X-rated, but usually there are a bunch of good choices. And even though I specify "free", there are usually many that need to go through a paid link, but I can always find stuff to use that is free. Click on the clip art to see the sizing choices, then save it to a file. It's good to run another virus scan over it just to make sure. I've never had a problem, but just saying...
Then you can treat it like any other graphic. Re-size it, adjust colors in a graphics program, edit it...maybe stick a feather in his hat, then print it out and fussy cut it, or if you have a Cameo, use print-and-cut.
I did one of my son-in-law on his trip to Hawaii where he was almost strip searched. I used his photo, sitting in the airport, then attached bombs, knives, Uzzis, grenades, etc. hanging all over his body with a caption something about "what made them suspicious?". I got all of my weapons from googling...then kept expecting the FBI to come knocking on my door, wondering why I was doing searches for all those things ~Judy
