Earlier this week in Louisiana, the parents of a 16-year-old boy sued the local school board over a nine-hour threesome their son had with two attractive female English teachers at his school. One of the teachers -- who had had previous sexual relations with the boy -- picked him up after a high school football game and drove him to the other teacher's apartment. There, according to sworn testimony, the three engaged in a sex marathon that didn't conclude until the following morning.
The parents claim in their lawsuit that as a result of this harrowing and traumatic experience, their son has experienced "emotional distress, mental anguish, humiliation and reputational damage."
I'll give you all a minute to stop laughing.
First, don't you know this kid has to be the coolest high schooler ever to be able to pull this off? I'm picturing Tom Cruise in Risky Business, during the second half of the movie after Rebecca DeMornay had humped the shyness out of him. Not only did he charm a hot teacher out of her clothes, but he was such a stud in the sack that she implored her colleague to get in on the action. Think about it. How else could this threesome have come to pass other than the first teacher calling the second teacher and saying, "Keep this between us, but I'm sleeping with this kid from my English class and he's such a hot piece of ass that I feel guilty keeping him to myself and not sharing. Clear your schedule for Friday night and I'll show you what I mean. You won't be sorry."
And this is a tiny town in Louisiana. There's zero doubt these are the two hottest teachers in the school system, and probably the only hot teachers. I grew up in a town of about 30,000 and went to a big high school and through 12 years of school didn't have a teacher who approached the hotness of either of these women. And this 16-year-old is sleeping with both of them. At the same time. He has Trump-level swag.
But I digress. The first thing that stands about this story is the same absurd dichotomy that exists in every male-student-sleeps-with-hot-teacher story. The local newspapers and the police reports repeatedly refer the boy as "victim." Yet if you read the paragraph about how the teachers got caught, you find this gem: "The sheriff's office was tipped off after school officials reported that the unidentified student was bragging to friends about his exploits."
So the so-called victim was going around bragging to everyone he knows about this awful crime that was perpetrated upon him. Seriously, who does that? What actual victim brags to his friends about being victimized?
Can you imagine this happening with any other crime?
"Dude, I gotta tell you about my weekend. I got held up at the ATM, bro. Guy snuck up from behind and pressed the cold steel right to my temple. I coughed up the loot like that, bro." [Does the Jay-Z brushing his shoulders off motion.]
"Bro, you hear about my financial advisor? That investment plan he swore would double the market was a total Ponzi. The 50 grand I gave him is gone, bro. Who's the man?"
It's patently absurd, right? If you're bragging about it afterward, you probably weren't the victim of a crime. I'll concede that female teachers who do this should be fired and stripped of their teaching certification, but for media members to perch themselves on their high horses and imply that a hot 30-year-old woman making a 16-year-old male's fantasies come true constitutes some heinous crime is laughable.
Every one of these hypocritical media clowns -- the male ones at least -- would have killed at 16 to be in this kid's shoes. And they definitely wouldn't have considered themselves victims, nor would they have excoriated the teacher if they were the lucky recipients of her so-called criminal behavior. And they probably would have bragged about it to their buddies.
Which brings me to my most important point.
If you're a 16-year-old male who's lucky enough to be sleeping with your hot teacher (or two), keep your damn mouth shut and do not tell a soul. Seriously. If I ever have a son, this will be the central theme when we have the birds-and-bees talk: If you're in high school and you get a hot teacher into bed, you're in the luckiest 0.00001% of high school kids in the world. The only thing that will come from running your mouth is that you ruin it for everyone involved.
By running their mouths, these kids put at risk the sweetest deal that could possibly be bestowed on a 16-year-old male, and infinitely worse, they put the teacher's career and freedom at risk.
And the only thing they gain in return is social cachet in high school. It's the worst and most uneven trade imaginable that doesn't involve Johnny Manziel.
Here's the deal for anyone 16 or under who might be reading this. I remember being in high school, and I understand that when you're in high school, you think the world revolves around high school and that your high school reputation and popularity represent everything important in life.
But here's the truth: Not only is your high school reputation meaningless, it's ephemeral. It has no carryover to college or whatever you choose to do after high school. When you get to college, you have a clean slate and no one cares how cool you were in high school, how many sports you played, whether you were on the homecoming court, or what your superlative was in the high school yearbook.
If you want proof of this, show up for your first day of college wearing your high school letterman's jacket. You'll be mocked relentlessly and told that it's time to move on.
Your high school reputation ceases to mean anything the minute you walk across that stage and secure that diploma in your hand. Show me someone who's more than a few months removed from high school and still prides himself on his high school reputation, and I'll show you someone who at present is a first rate loser.
Think about how celebrities always describe their high school years. These are some of the most attractive, most talented, most wealthy people in the world, yet not a single one of them admits to being cool in high school. They all claim they were dorks and outcasts who got bullied and were never asked to homecoming or the prom. I think it's usually bullshit -- like there's no way Margot Robbie was never asked out in high school unless 1) guys were intimidated to approach her because she's so hot, 2) the male population at her high school was 100% homosexual, or 3) she's lying about being unpopular -- but it underscores the point that nobody cares or wants to hear about how cool you were in high school after you graduate.
When I hear an adult brag about high school accomplishments, I picture Al Bundy lounging on the couch with his hand in his pants talking about scoring four touchdowns in one game.
And this is why it's beyond stupid to put anything of value at risk in exchange for social capital in high school. And the ability at 16 years old to sleep with a hot teacher who's way out of your league is infinitely more valuable than any amount of high school social capital. The career and reputation of that teacher, who is graciously bestowing her sexual prowess on an undeserving zit-faced teenage punk like you, are infinitely more valuable than your high school reputation.
An illicit dalliance with a hot English teacher is something at which you can look back and smile for the rest of your life. Your high school popularity, by contrast, is something you'll probably -- if you're not a total loser -- demure about within a few months of graduation. After all, it's cooler as an adult to have been a loser in high school than the BMOC.
Don't give up something you can cherish forever for something that will expire worthless next May.
Keep your damn mouth shut.

When you add a real-time plug-in or hardware insert to a track, it takes Pro Tools a little bit of time to process the signal. That little bit of time can cause latency or delay when playing back and recording tracks in Pro Tools. Automatic Delay Compensation or ADC, helps to manage the delays created from plug-ins and hardware inserts, and keeps all the tracks in the session time aligned. How does it work? Pro Tools adds the exact amount of delay necessary to each track, so that they all have the same amount of delay, thus keeping them all time-aligned.
We can adjust the delay compensation within the playback engine, if we go to Setup > Playback Engine. We can see right here Delay Compensation Engine. We can choose from four different values. The Short ADC value uses less processing power than longer ADC values, and should be find for any session that only has a few plug-ins on it and that don't induce much delay. Note that the number of samples per channel of delay shown here depends on the session's sample rate.
At higher sampling rates, the number of samples of delay will be larger. But the same amount of delay compensation from the time perspective will be applied regardless of the sampling rate. For instance, on the short setting shown here, there are 1023 samples of delay. At a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, which is what we have for our session. If we create a session with the sampling rate that's double that, at 88.2 kHz, the Short ADC setting will be 2047 samples.
Double the number of samples, but equal to the same length of time, because the sampling rate is also doubled. The Long ADC value allocates a larger amount of resources for delay compensation. You should use this in sessions where there are a lot of plug-ins causing a large amount of delay. The Maximum setting should be used when the long setting just isn't long enough. Note that Pro Tools HD systems do not have this setting due to limitations with the TDM hardware. When you activate Delay Compensation, Pro Tools needs to reset itself and will save and close your session.
Let's check it out, and choose the Maximum value, and we get this dialog, Selecting this playback engine will automatically save and close your session. The session will be reopened when you are done changing settings. Are you sure you want to proceed? Choose Yes, and if we want to change anything in here, we can, but we're happy with it, so I want to click OK, and Pro Tools will reopen. And now we can see the Delay Compensation is on, we can see it right here. With it on, now we can go to the Options menu, and choose whether we want to keep it on or turn it off.
So if I check this, now I have actually turned off the Delay Compensation. We don't see it here anymore. I can go back to the Options menu, click Delay Compensation, and it will turn it back on. Now you don't need to activate Delay Compensation when you're recording your first tracks in a session. However, once your session starts to become a little more complicated, when you've got a bunch of plug-ins, effects loops, virtual instruments, using ADC will become a necessity to keep all of your tracks time-aligned.
I recommend enabling Automatic Delay Compensation during most playback and mixing sessions, and also during many recording situations. I'll discuss much more about ADC in the recording and mixing chapters in this course.

ST. LOUIS - Phillies third baseman Reid Brignac sprained his left ankle and was forced to leave Thursday's game when he and Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller slid into first base at the same time.
Brignac led off the fifth inning with a sharp grounder down the first-base line that seemed ticketed for the right-field corner. But first baseman Matt Adams made a diving stab, and his underhanded throw to Miller forced the pitcher to slide.
The Phillies said Brignac will be reevaluated Friday morning. He was helped off the field and replaced by Cesar Hernandez.
Asche close
Third baseman Cody Asche is nearly ready to return to action. Asche has been on the disabled list since May 23 with a left hamstring strain.

Why I love the Philippines
"With 7000 tropical islands on my doorstep, all ripe for exploration, I find it easy to like the Philippines. Love, on the other hand, is borne of subtler things. Love is borne of long rooftop jeepney rides through the mountains of North Luzon; of a frosty San Miguel at sundown on a sublime slab of Visayan sand; of a fresh-fish lunch, followed by a siesta on an interminable bangka journey through Palawan's islands; of..."

Introducing Record Detective™ II
We're thrilled to announce that we've released Record Detective™ II, a powerful technology that advances your family history research further than ever before.
It was almost three years ago, when we announced the launch of Record Detective™, a technology that generates new leads and discoveries. With the Record Detective™, records found in MyHeritage SuperSearch™ automatically point to additional records and family tree profiles relating to the same person.
The power of transitivity, and its limitation
Previously, Record Detective™ used transitivity: if record A was matched by person B in a family tree, and person B matched person C in another family tree, and person C matched record D, then records A and D were considered matches and the Record Detective™ pointed from each one of them to the other. This allowed magical discoveries, for example, a birth record could point at a newspaper article about the wedding of the same person! This simulates advanced deductions that previously only a human genealogist could make, as the birth record doesn't even name the person that our protagonist would eventually marry. However, this power came with a limitation: the Record Detective™ was only able to find information when there was at least one family tree profile on MyHeritage matching the record, and the existence of such a profile on MyHeritage isn't guaranteed: about half the historical records on MyHeritage do not have a matching family tree profile yet.
Challenging the Detective
This limitation bothered our engineering team, and they set out to improve the technology. The next generation of this technology was supposed to be so good, that it would "seriously challenge the greatest Detective of all time", and thus the project was fondly nicknamed "Professor Moriarty" by our team.
The new generation of the technology released now, Record Detective™ II, overcomes the transitivity limitation and on top of all the matches it was able to provide before, it adds also direct record-to-record matches, even for records that have no matching family tree profiles on MyHeritage.
More matches
The result is Sherlock Holmes on steroids: a much greater number of matching documents for each record. This powerful new technology has yielded a staggering number of 2.2 additional billion matches. Record Detective™ II provides new information and clues to take your family history research to newer heights. It does all this without sacrificing accuracy.

Instant Discoveries™ now available for all MyHeritage users!
We're delighted to announce that Instant Discoveries™ are now available for all MyHeritage users. Launched in December 2014, Instant Discoveries™ is a unique experience for discovering family history information and applying it to one's tree on MyHeritage with ease. Initially we released this experience only for new users - newcomers to family history - to make it easier for them to embark on their family history journey. By signing up at MyHeritage and entering some basic information about immediate family members, new users discovered ancestors, relatives and never-seen-before photos in just a few seconds. Following the successful launch we took Instant Discoveries™ to the streets of New York and demonstrated it to passers-by. It was incredible to see their emotional reactions.
As of this week, we've taken this breakthrough technology to the next level, by providing the Instant Discoveries™ experience to all users of MyHeritage, enabling multiple individuals and photos to be added to existing family trees in just a few clicks.
How does it work?
An Instant Discovery™ is a "package" of family history information that you can apply in one click. If an individual in your family tree connects to a branch in another family tree, you'll be alerted about this and can then choose to add everyone in that branch (up to 40-50 people) to your tree, who is not already there, in one go, rather than manually add people one by one, and amend the data piece by piece.
Every Instant Discovery™ is based on a match, which is found by our Smart Matching™ technology, and we filter out incorrect matches automatically. Instant Discoveries™ complement Smart Matches™ in how the information is applied to the user's tree. With Smart Matches™, information is added to the tree one fact at a time, one person at a time, manually. With Instant Discoveries™ an entire branch can be copied in a single click, along with all facts, events and photos, and source citations are automatically created in the target tree to document exactly where the data came from. To protect the privacy of other users, Instant Discoveries™ never bring information on living people.
We've already processed millions of family trees on MyHeritage for Discoveries out of the 28 million existing trees added by our users, and found that more than 50% of the trees will enjoy one or more Discoveries! The success rate increases as your tree grows (for example, a tree with 100 individuals will enjoy at least one Discovery almost always, and often many more). Even if your tree isn't growing, the success rate will still increase each day as MyHeritage adds millions of records and profiles every day, collecting more data to compare against your tree.
World map of Discoveries
MyHeritage users around the world have already begun enjoying Discoveries and adding them to their trees. To get a feel for the great things people are discovering, we've created a fun interactive map, showing the users making Discoveries on MyHeritage around the world, almost in real-time. Click the image below to view the interactive map.

The Atlanta peaches are back in Season 5 with two new cast members. The drama doesn't stop and we love it! In last night's premiere everyone seems to be moving…Kandi moves into a new home, Kim finds out she has to move out of hers and NeNe contemplates a big move to L.A. We also get a chance to meet one of the new castmates, former Miss USA Kenya Moore. DRAMA.com!
Via CelebDirtyLaundry.com:
The season premiere starts off with NeNe talking about how her career and life are both booming. She's ready to begin shooting a sitcom and she has wrapped her head around splitting with her ex husband, Greg. She's in a good space which is probably exactly the reason that Greg wants her back. Kandi has a new relationship brewing- or at least it's new to viewers. She's actually been dating Todd for a year and they met while on the trip to Africa that we all saw last season. They are talking about having kids and Kandi really wants a son since they are living together with both of their daughters.
Kim and Kroy are prepping for KJ's first birthday and true to form, Kim is opening all of his gifts. Kim explains that even though she is renting her dream home, it was appraised for a million dollars less than it's on the market for so they are moving rather than buying it.
Phaedra is studying mortuary sciences still and she decides to pay a visit to a prominent veterinarian. She lets this chick know that she wants to become like the Vera Wang of funeral services and that includes providing services for pets! She asks the vet to keep her in mind and to refer her to patients.
Cynthia is at odds with her ex because her daughter Noelle has been home-schooled for the last year. Everyone seems to believe Noelle should be in real school- including Noelle, except Cynthia. I'm not quite sure why she was home-schooled in the first place but Cynthia obviously alone in thinking it was for the best.
Kenya is a brand spankin' new housewife and she jumps into the mix by meeting with her friend Miss Lawrence for lunch. Lawrence has fluorescent nails and is most definitely a dude. Kenya is a hustler. She produces, writes, acts and so on. She is pretty much married to her job but is ready to get married and settle down.
Kandi takes Kim for a walk through her new home that she is remodeling and Kim is not at all impressed. The mayor lives around the corner but Kim still insists that the neighborhood is bad. She's making nit picking comments about Kandi's house but the fact is, Kim and her family have just gotten evicted so she's in no position to talk!
Cynthia is still running the Bailey Modeling Agency and she's looking for a woman to be the Jet Beauty of the Weekso she pulls Kenya in to help her look at the potential models. Kenya is a former beauty queen with a gutter mouth and believe me as soon as she starts rambling everyone is uncomfortable. She starts fighting with everyone and Cynthia may be the owner but she's having a rough time taking control.

Why I don't like Joel Armia
I don't like Joel Armia.
It's really nothing personal. I wish him the best. I'll cheer for him 100%. And those dangles? Who can't be down with those.
But for me Joel Armia - more particularly the darling status he receives - is a symbol for the disappointment and disillusionment I currently feel with respect to the Winnipeg Jets in general.
In my conversations with fellow fans, in listening to TSN 1290, Joel Armia comes up often. He's a "bright spot" - a player we can look to that is outperforming our expectations: "Well, at least Joel Armia looks pretty good." That kind of thing. He's the kind of player we want to like: He's 22, a former 1st round draft pick, and part of the package we received for Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian. More than that, he has good size and hands, will play for cheap, and generally looks like an NHL player. These things are all fine - some, in fact, pretty good.
But for Armia becoming an effective NHL third liner would have to be seen as a positive outcome. Feel free to call him a "top-9 forward" so long as you know he'll be in the bottom third of that vague category. Anyone who feels he will regularly outperform 2nd line opposition is as an optimist. Frankly, a solid 4th liner who can play 10 minutes a night isn't unrealistic or even particularly disappointing.
The point is, this "bright spot" is not all that remarkable. He represents marginal gains at a spot in the depth chart that is the easiest to improve. And Armia's "emergence" as a potential third line forward comes in the shadow of trading Andrew Ladd, a legitimate first line player for the Jets. Did Ladd need to be traded? Yes. Did the Jets get maximum value for him? Pretty much for sure. But that still represents a big hole in the roster and right now Armia is a reminder of how hard that will be to replace.
Armia's increased role is also a reminder of how low the team sits in the standings. Treating NHL games like nothing more than learning opportunities for AHL call-ups is not exactly awesome. When we as fans talk about how Armia is kind of a pleasant surprise I think about how great it was to make the playoffs last year and be picked as a dark horse to make it to the Conference Finals.
No, it's not Armia's fault that he's not a first liner. It's not his fault that Ladd got traded. It's not his fault that the team is having a lousy year.
But dammit he reminds me of all these things.

Quick post-trade Ladd thoughts
|Stan Bowman, lustfully staring at Andrew Ladd's hot body from across the room.
On the day when the Jets trade Andrew Ladd is traded I am reminded that it sure seems a lot easier to trade a good hockey player than it is to acquire one.
Our team has traded it's best left-winger, a bonafide first line NHL forward. We sometimes took that for granted. In his four full seasons in Winnipeg, Ladd performed admirably and ranked highly among forwards. Here's a reminder of how good he was for us:
- In 2011-12 he was the 91st highest-scoring forward (50 points, tied with Shane Doan, Jiri Hudler, 2 others)
- In 2012-13 he was the 18th highest-scoring forward (46 points, tied with Jakub Voracek, ahead of Henrik Sedin and others)
- In 2013-14 he was the 62nd highest-scoring forward (54 points, tied with Logan Couture, Mikko Koivu, 2 others)
- In 2014-15 he was the 39th highest-scoring forward (62 points, tied with Jeff Carter, Jason Spezza, 4 others)
Considering that there are, by definition, 90 first line forwards in the league, Ladd easily cleared that bench mark and then some. He was a strong two-way player, too, earning Selke votes in his 2012-13 and 2014-15 seasons, and averaged a Corsi rating of 53.7% over his tenure in Winnipeg. This season was not measuring quite up, but coming off off-season surgery and heating up post-Christmas, he's still the same player... except now he sucks... because he plays for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Judging by what I'm seeing on Twitter, most of the smarter accounts I follow seem happy with the return, so that's good. Marko Dano was the Blackhawks' top prospect and that first round pick... well, that could be anything! My formative hockey trade was in Grade 5 when we traded Teemu Selanne away for Chad Kilger and Oleg Tverdovsky so I won't actually be getting too worked up over this.
We'll see how this goes. Does anybody else get the feeling there's another Jet to be moved before the deadline?

Alexander... the terrible
|Nautical metaphor forthcoming.
When a man is loses his boat and is swept into the sea the decent thing to is to throw him a life preserver. Throwing him a dead weight disguised as a life preserver would be perverse in the extreme.
In the summer of 2015 many Jets fans, swept into a sea of disappointment after losing Michael Frolik, looked to soon-to-be 24-year-old Alex Burmistrov to help stave off sinking into the NHL's basement. The Winnipeg Jets are now near the bottom and Alex Burmistrov is one of the reasons why. The Burmistrov that left the Jets for Russia in 2013 was a good player: a player who, though did leave scoring to be desired, excelled at pushing the play to the opponents' zone. Visually not your granddad's shut down 3rd liner but a statistical Rob Zamuner (Rob Zamuner being the most famous checking forward that came to mind at this time, and I'm speaking generally). Besides Burmistrov was a former sixth overall pick possessing skill that pleased the eyes and the Jets' now had a coach who really understood the reality for Russian players. Perhaps he would return from Russia better than before?
ENHHNHHNGH. Wrong. Actually Alex Burmistrov is much worse than the player who left to don the amazing "69" for his hometown Kazan; Now he basically sucks - and is not even wearing "69".
(Sorry about the formatting.) These graphs show Burmistrov's point production, shot generation and suppression, and overall affect on goals scored compared to average numbers from 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th line NHLers. Go to Own The Puck and see for yourself. His 2013 numbers are on the left. His 2016 numbers on the right.
His point production, which was once considered his Achilles heel, is now the only thing (along with his ice time) that gives him a chance against a disturbingly decent comparable: Chris Thorburn:
If we would have known prior to the season that we were, in part, replacing Michael Frolik with a player as bad as Burmistrov would be, we would be less surprised to be as lousy as we are. Looking closely, Chris Thorburn actually out-performs Burmistrov on shot generation and suppression by a small margin.
Where do thins go from here? I assume that Alex Burmistrov will read this blog, become emboldened to take his game to new heights, (force management to let him wear "69") and leave this 2015-16 season as a strange aberration that ultimately left us with a high draft pick. Hopefully he was just having a rough year re-adjusting to North America. He's definitely better than this.
There are other problems with this year's Jets but Burmistrov better make sure he's not one of them… even the Jets may toss a dead weight off the boat sooner or later.
PS I still love Burmi!!!

The Jets should tank... but probably not get all crazy about it
They have 26 games left and we already know the Winnipeg Jets are will making the playoffs.
This has most Jets fans talking about tanking: trying to lose in order to get a higher draft pick. There are varying degrees of tanking. A moderate tank would include trading a pending-UFA or two and giving a little extra ice time to your young but not-quite-good-yet players. A more dramatic tank would be more extreme and include trading good players who are signed beyond next season for futures in an effort to be really bad.
A moderate tank doesn't sound as exciting in the short term but my worry is throwing away the next 3+ years. Trading away Andrew Ladd (a pending UFA who seems unlikely to re-sign) will already leave a hole in the Jets' top-6 and leave the Jets attempting to replace his production. But Ladd is likely gone regardless and his loss can be overcome. Trading one or more of Bryan Little, Blake Wheeler, or Tobias Enstrom would make the team bad for years. Would it be worth it? I think we would be waiting a long time to find out.
Believe it or not, the Jets are still a top-10 Corsi team at 5 on 5, meaning at 5 on 5 they're more often than not outshooting their opponents. It's a good big-picture predictor of future results. What's sinking this team is very poor special teams (particularly the penalty kill) below average goaltending (last year was actually above average) and some of it is just plain luck (look up the Jets' PDO).
Don't get me wrong - this team is not functioning and is way out of a playoff race. But differences in the NHL are small and I believe things will be better next season. Re-signing or replacing Ladd will be the trick, but the Jets figure to have better goaltending with Hellebuyck and Pavelec in goal. Powerplay and penalty kill should can be improved. Bounce back years from players like Lowry and Burmistrov seem likelier than not. Chevy can take his first real crack at building a useful fourth line. Maybe this wish list seems hard to obtain but to me what's far trickier is building a core of actually good NHLers on decent to good contracts.
If the Jets were like the Maple Leafs of a few years ago with an under-performing team loaded with bad contracts I'd be more likely to want to hit the reset button. Instead a moderate tank is what I prefer. Do a few things to improve your chances at getting Auston Matthews like trading Ladd, returning your best goalie to the Moose and giving veterans the odd "maintenance day". That's not to say a shakeup isn't in order. I just think the collection of present and near-future assets collected by the Jets is not insignificant and should not be tossed aside. Trading Myers or Trouba for similar age/ability/potential players at forward or left-side defence could work wonders.
A moderate tank is what I propose. It's a bummer to be out of it this early and while we want it to be worth it I don't think it's time to throw multiple seasons down the drain. 26 games is 32% of the season. If you're a P6 season ticket holders will be paying $858 to watch the team play for little more than pride - and that number increases to $2056 at the P1 level.
Those numbers start to feel worse and worse the sooner the team is out of it. Let's keep it simple and hope that things get better... just after we get through these next 26 games.

Thoughts on mediocrity and progress
Anyone with access to a blog - or newspaper column for that matter - has written or will write something with a headline like, "Should the Jets tank?" or, "What the hell is Chevy going to do?" in the coming weeks. The article will probably be some combination of frustration, angst, and pessimism, and almost assuredly utilize an image like the one below:
|Bottom half of NHL standings, Jan. 4th, 2016
Things are going poorly. Five points out of last place poorly. The Jets are better than their record, but not that much better than their record. Add to this the unresolved contract statuses of Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien, the growing pains or disappointing first halves of most of their younger players, and a GM that only emerges once a year to make personnel moves by drafting 18-year-olds (the exception being if a roster player demands a trade multiple times and has his track suit thrown into the shower by the team's prom king / father figure). Suffice to say that it is not a comfortable time to be a Jets fan.
And more unpleasant buzz-kill is available for those who desire to look for it. One HockeyDB image and one Microsoft Word table should do the trick:
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Draft Position
Player First Selected
Mark Scheifele
Jacob Trouba
Josh Morrissey
Nikolai Ehlers
Kyle Connor
It would not be hard to argue that the Jets have been caught in a trap of mediocrity. In their fifth season under current management, the Jets have made the playoffs once and have never drafted higher than the 7th overall pick inherited from Atlanta. This is a problem if you believe that while Nik Ehlers (9th overall) is very good, odds are that Aaron Ekblad (1st overall), Sam Reinhart (2nd overall), Leon Draisaitl (3rd overall), and Sam Bennett (4th overall) will be a little bit better. The same could be said of every draft year. This is not to critique the Jets' drafting, which according to outside sources have left the Jets well-stocked relative to their peers. However it remains to be seen whether even above-average drafting (if this is even true, and if so, how repeatable it is) in the middle third of the first round will be enough to lift the Jets past both the NHL's established upper class and the ones who have added generational talents like Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, or Auston Matthews to the fold.
What should the Jets do, you ask? Since we can't go back in time and somehow force Chevy to avert the Stafford/Frolik downgrade, re-sign Stempniak, acquire a second actual NHL left-handed defenceman behind Toby Enstrom, and (of course) injure Ondrej Pavelec earlier in the season, one answer is to embrace the tank. Trade Dustin Byfuglien and Andrew Ladd for a combination of draft picks and players with term beyond this season. Put your best goalie back in the AHL and see what can be done to inch closer to Auston Matthews or another worthy consolation prize.
|Tkachuk 2.0: hopefully less of an asshole!
Any combination of those moves, while rational, does not guarantee progress. Before this season it was generally accepted by fans that the Jets' struggles should be placed within the context of a general upward progression: Chipman & Co. bought a very bad team but would gradually transform it into a team that would consistently be a multi-round threat come playoff time. Following up their first playoff berth with a 6th or 7th place divisional finish while potentially losing two of their best players is a stinging setback - one that may linger next year as well, depending how Ladd and Byfuglien are replaced. If the Jets are still making progress under capable management, fans' patience is being tested at the very least.
But while the difficulties faced now are real we should also keep in mind that they will be fairly typical moving forward. Yes, the Jets are caught in a mediocrity trap. And so is every single other team in the NHL. While the degrees of ensnarement vary by team - and there are a few outliers such as the Chicago Blackhawks, 2014/15 Buffalo Sabres or the Edmonton Oilers, 2010 to
|Connor Hellebuyck alone could reduce angst by 1000%.
Success in the NHL is an inefficiency that the market is quick to correct for. Even the Jets, with their limited successes so far, now must come to grips with this on the contract front. The Jets drafted two good players in Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba but beginning next season both players complete their team-friendly entry level deals and will be paid closer to market rates. These raises will require one or both of Andrew Ladd or Dustin Byfuglien - better players - to be jettisoned. That this we have reached this point with only one 4-game playoff appearance should certainly be a disappointment.
What is the direction of the Winnipeg Jets then? Onward and upward, or more seasons of missing the playoffs? Are Chevy & Co. shrewd managers outsmarting the rest of the league with regularity? Can't say that from this spot in the standings. Are they fools running the team into the ground? They've apparently drafted very well and their dumbest move was not re-signing one middle-six forward.2 Either extreme is a stretch. What the Jets are, is simply one of thirty teams trying to draft well, sign good contracts, avoid signing bad ones, and praying for a goaltending saviour. It's not the most dramatic story line but it'll still be fun, even if it isn't cheap.
I would expect the Jets to continue to be caught somewhere in the mediocrity trap. We can only hope that they can settle in above the playoff line sooner than later.
1 Wonder if playoff races are good for business?
2 That was the dumbest move. Worst move was Pavelec's 5-year contract.

Will the 2015-16 Winnipeg Jets make the playoffs?
Holy shit. All the other teams have gotten better. Dallas traded for Patrick Sharp and signed a goalie who's actually okay. Edmonton finally drafted Connor McDavid, Calgary added Dougie Hamilton and pried even our very own Michael Frolik away from us. Other teams have done other crap.
Meanwhile the Jets have done seemingly nothing.1
As Jets fans, this is concerning and leads us to wonder if our inevitable rise to become Stanley Cup Champions in 2019 will entail more hardship in the short term. After their long-awaited first playoff appearance, the few moves that the Jets have made can be summed up as "lateral" - and even that probably requires some optimism. Then again the Jets were considered a strong team on the rise as last regular season drew to a close.
Which teams will miss?
For starters, we'since the Western Conference has only 14 teams we'll work at the question from it's negative: "Will the 2015-16 Winnipeg Jets miss the playoffs?" Six teams in the West will miss the playoffs. Same as last year. And... y'know... could be anyone, right, San Jose, Dallas, and LA?
"Very, very Likely" To Miss:
Shit it starts getting close already... after one team!?!?
"Could make it but let's allow ourselves to pencil them in as missing":
Colorado Avalanche. They weren't off by that much last year and their goalie is crazy good and have some high-end young forwards.... but they only signed Carl Soderberg, Francois Beauchemin. They traded away more "now" than they got back in the Ryan O'Reilly trade. Let's say they'll miss!
Edmonton Oilers. Also signed some help for the blue line this summer. They don't have a crazy good goalie but they actually have a good coach now oh and Sidney Crosby scored 102 points in his rookie season... Connor McDavid will make a difference. But not enough. Let's say they miss!
Vancouver Canucks. Same goal differential as the Jets last year and had two more points. Thankfully for us they've had a bad off-season so far. The Canucks traded Kevin Bieksa and Eddie Lack for draft picks, Zach Kassian for Brandon Prust - all amounting to a likely downgrade this year. Still, not a bad team or anything... but man it would be so sweet for Jets fans for this team to finish 10th or 11th. Let's say they miss!
Hell no I'm not putting the Jets here!
"Unfortunately one of us is going to miss the playoffs: Pacific edition!":
Calgary Flames. They were supposed to be the easy pick for "team that made the playoffs last year but won't this year" but then they added Dougie Hamilton and Michael Frolik which are pretty nice. Still, they made the playoffs with really bad underlying stats. Who knows?
San Jose Sharks. They were supposed to win the Stanley Cup the last few years but instead had no success. They're taking a risk on their new goalie, Martin Jones, but risks can pay off. Also they signed notable "good players" Joel Ward and Paul Martin. Who knows?
LA Kings. They did win the Stanley Cup the year before last but last year the drugs got out of hand and their second-best defenceman was suspended by the league for some pretty horrible shit (violence against his wife). There's a few things up in the air with this team (what happens with that defenceman, if they can get out of Mike Richard's contract, etc) and the fact remains that they were below average last year - but it won't take much to get them into a playoff spot. Who knows?
"Unfortunately one of us is going to miss the playoffs: Central edition!":
Dallas Stars. Let's see: They added Patrick Sharp, Johnny Oduya, and Antti Niemi, who are good. They lost... not that much. Damn. They're probably going to be better. Especially considering that they received a .903 save percentage from their starting goalie last year. That's Pavelecian... and therefore scary for Winnipeg Jets fans for two reasons....
Winnipeg Jets. Michael Frolik, out. Alex Burmistrov, in. The Jets would have to be pleased if Burmistrov equalled Frolik's 2014-15 level of play. The rest is a mess as far as predictions go: Evander Kane? He only scored 10 goals in 37 games for the Jets before the injury/trade. Drew Stafford - who is still ultimately a downgrade on even crappy 2014-15 Evander Kane - will probably at least replace that unimpressive level of offensive production. The bottom six has question marks, such as will Nikolai Ehlers make the team and will he be any good in his first year? What else... a full season of Tyler Myers is an upgrade over Zach Bogosian. But all this doesn't matter unless the Jets get goaltending very close to Ondrej Pavelec's .920utlier save percentage last year; he had a .905 and .901 the previous two years. Thankfully rookie Michael Hutchinson posted a respectable .914, meaning the Jets' goaltending situation is better heading into this season than any other, although that isn't saying much.
Those other teams that we will pencil into making the playoffs:
Now we return to our stunningly detailed league-wide perspective. While it would be awesome if one of the remaining teams had a shitty year and missed - and it is possible - it's not exactly the likeliest thing in the world. Winnipeg could finish better than Chicago, Nashville, Minnesota, or St. Louis....(Anaheim doesn't really matter to us) and it wouldn't take a surprise team-wide cocaine addiction to make it so. One of these teams may miss. Still, once we get to the point of picking these teams to miss the playoffs, things just start to feel a little more unlikely. Cross our fingers and hope for a Cup hangover or a lengthier Pekka Rinne injury I suppose.
In order to make the playoffs, the Jets need to finish at least 5th in the Central Division. According to the borderline infallible logic above, that means being better than Dallas, Colorado, and one of LA, San Jose, and Calgary. The mix could be different - Chicago or Nashville instead of Dallas, say. Or if a team from the Pacific Division takes one of the Wild Card spots, the Jets would need to finish 4th or better in the Central. This shows that the playoffs are attainable once again but will require being better than a team like Dallas, which seems likely to rebound.
As a Jets fan, this would be far easier if the Jets had added Patrick Sharp or a legitimate top-4 left-handed defenceman. Put differently, if we had been handed an easy "yes" to the "will the Jets be better than last year?" question we could at least pencil them in to a playoff spot based on the fact they made it last year... and improved. Instead, the Jets replaced a good player (Michael Frolik) with a potentially good player (Alex Burmistrov). Youngsters Nik Ehlers, Joel Armia, Nic Petan, and Josh Morrissey might improve the Jets' depth. Perhaps most importantly, the specter of a return to Pavelec's career average save percentage (very bad) haunts any prediction involving the Jets returning to the playoffs.
This is all very difficult to predict. Flip a coin?
1 This is like that bad dream where I'm the one white kid in a Chinese Grade 5 class where all the other kids study day and night with their insane parents yell at them "COMPETE GLOBALLY OR GET LEFT BEHIND ECONOMICALLY!" and then remind them how they actually had an older sister but didn't want an older sister... every night. House of Cards-style. Man... competition is rough I tell ya.

Did the Jets lose Michael Frolik for nothing?
Let's get one thing out of the way: Michael Frolik is a good hockey player and I for one am disappointed that he will not be playing for the Jets for the next several years.1 Like, he's even better than Drew Stafford. So that's a bummer. And in a likely close playoff race ahead, not having Frolik may just be the difference between a playoff berth or not.
But Frolik is now gone and some are suggesting that the Jets have "lost him for nothing" or otherwise wasted him as an asset. I'd agree with this, except, y'know... the Jets made the playoffs, thanks in part to Frolik's help. Making the playoffs and competing for the Stanley Cup has value (for me at least), so I'm pleased in general with the value we got out of Frolik. That's pretty much it but since my editor wants a higher word count I'll go into more detail below.
History, and a few details
The Jets traded for Michael Frolik in the summer of 2013 from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a 3rd round pick (74th overall) and a 5th round pick (134th overall). Frolik, 25 at the time, would be under team control for two more seasons.
Frolik played well his first year, scoring 15 goals and 42 points with excellent underlying numbers. Unfortunately, the Jets finished last in the Central and 9th worst in the league. He received a pay raise as an RFA during the summer of 2014 but he and the Jets did not agree to a long-term deal.2 He would earn $3-million and enter the 2014-15 season as a pending unrestricted free agent. The consternation began.
Having failed to sign Frolik to a multi-year extension and knowing that asset management is critical to a successful NHL franchise, what should the Jets have done heading into the 2014-15 season? How about halfway through the season when still no deal had been reached?
Entering the season, Frolik seemed a likely trade candidate since the Jets finished the previous season seven points out of a playoff spot and seemed determined to continue the insane Frontal Assault On All That Is Good And Holy by continuing to call Ondrej Pavelec an NHL starting goalie. The Jets were a near-consensus to miss the playoffs. If you believed the Jets season would be dismal, getting ready to field offers on Frolik would make sense.
However, even a shit-show like the 2014-15 Edmonton Oilers didn't begin to jettison good players until January 2nd, trading David Perron to the Penguins in the first "Good-Player-for-Future-Hope" swap of the season. Fans spending money on tickets need some modicum of excitement before flushing the season down the toilet - even Oiler fans. So it's unsurprising that the Jets did not trade Frolik before or very early in the season. Still, one could make an argument for trading him before the season if a good deal was out there, depending on if you thought the Jets would be good/bad. The consternation continued.
Frolik, the "the-trade-deadline-is-looming" pending-UFA
By the time January 2nd rolled around it turns out that the Jets were... good. They were getting the goaltending that had eluded them for years and had survived lengthy injuries - OR DRUG REHABS! - to pretty much every one of their defencemen. Two weeks later, James Mirtle wrote an article titled, "Yes, The Jets Are The Real Deal". And that felt pretty nice. As for Frolik, he was a valued contributor and was a notable part of this success.
The Jets' strong play continued and on the eve of the trade deadline, they destroyed the L.A. Kings and found themselves comfortably in a playoff spot. Already with the 7th-best score adjusted Corsi in the NHL, the Jets added depth forwards Jiri Tlusty and Lee Stempniak. This was considered by many smart hockey people to be a team that could do some damage in the playoffs and became a popular "dark horse" pick. Trading Frolik at this point would have lessened the Jets chances at going deep or even making the playoffs - which aren't really that different anymore, given the parity in the NHL. The consternation... abated because we began buying white t-shirts.
Having not been traded, was Frolik a wasted asset?
Of course, getting swept adding an exclamation mark to the Jets' eventual first round playoff exit (which was a definite buzzkill) but I don't think we should get all "the Jets are worse than Hitler" over it. The Jets were banged up. Our goaltending picked a bad time to wear off. Whatever. Luck happens. The better team won. That happened to other teams, too, and it doesn't mean that St. Louis, Nashville, or the Islanders, should have sold all expiring assets on March 2nd, either.
Whether or not you consider Frolik a wasted (or, more defensibly, "underutilized") asset depends in part on how much you value "higher playoff odds now" or "higher playoff odds later". Unless Frolik was some kind of surprise cancer in the dressing room, any realistic trade would have meant hurting the Jets' playoff chances now and helping them later. Draft picks, or the compromise option: a roster player with more term remaining - would have logically made the Jets weaker last season. On a well above-average possession team in a playoff spot, an equally valid question would be, "Would trading Frolik have wasted an opportunity?"
Clearly not all 8th seeds are the 2014 L.A. Kings and making a regular habit of trading/passing up future assets in order to squeak into the playoffs would likely not be good for an organization. But this was a chance to make their first playoff appearance and the Jets had a hungry core in their primes. If this were an underachieving team with only a slim chance at the playoffs at the trade deadline then you might as well trade him. However in the context described above, missing out on a couple draft picks seems a cheap price to pay to be a playoff "dark horse" and give your players playoff experience in the process.
If you find yourself disagreeing with this and having visions of that second and third round draft pick haunting your sleep I have to ask... just what exactly would those draft picks be for? To me at least, the correct answer is "to make the playoffs and compete for the Stanley Cup". And the Jets did that this spring. Maybe your standards such that we should always look to trade pending UFAs unless we are in a divisional playoff spot. Or we need to feel 60% sure we can make the Conference Finals or something. Those standards are unnecessarily high to me.
While things could have worked out better, such as via a team-friendly extension or longer playoff run, the Jets still made off well enough in their acquisition and employment of Michael Frolik. Costing the team only a 3rd and 5th round draft pick, Frolik played an important role in giving the Jets their first playoff berth, which is a notable accomplishment. His two years of service capped by the playoff experience was solid value received.
NOTE: I'd like all rebuttals to my argument to refrain from using the Curtis Glencross trade and how it somehow got Calgary draft picks and a playoff series win and how Brad Treliving spent the entire 2014-15 shoving horseshoes up his ass. Thanks.
1 There really needs to be a "ceterus paribus" (all things being equal) NHL equivalent... like "without thinking about his cap hit and the implications of that cap hit on signing other good players and other complicated shit like that.... he's a good player".
2 If the 4 years, $16-million rumors are true, the Jets missed out.

C++ Standard Library
The standard library in C++ is a massive bundle of classes and functionality that is provided to the programmer. This is provided keeping the fact in mind that there are a lot of common features and functionality that might be of need to all the programmers. Use of standard library makes it easy for the programmer to add many features in their programs without declaring and defining them manually. This makes many complicated tasks easy and saves great amount of time and effort.
For example, iostream is a class provided by the C++ standard library. That provides a lot of useful functions like cin, cout that help programmer to take input and display output with almost no effort. Without this library class it would have been entirely the responsibility of the programmer to define how should the input is taken and how should the output be displayed.
Difference between Standard Library and Compiler
There is a basic difference between C++ standard library and the C++ compiler. Compiler is the basic need of any program written in the C++. Without this it is not possible to make any program. The source code can however be written but this is not possible to change that in the machine language. So compiler is the basic need of any C++ program.
The standard library is a vital part of any C++ program nonetheless not mandatory. Writing a program without using a standard library class may look clumsy and complicated but this can be done. In short, standard library is an enhancement in the C++ compiler that is used to make the programming easier. It is just a part of the C++ compiler. To make it easy the differences can be tabulated as below:
C++ Compiler
C++ Standard Library
1. Compiler changes the code written in the high level language into a machine level code.
1. Standard Library in C++ provides the features and functionality to make it easier to write the programs.
2. Compiler is the fundamental need of any C++ program.
2. Standard Library is not a necessary part of the program.
3. Compiler can be different according to the need and operating environment.
3. Standard libraries provided by all of the compilers are almost the same.
4. Some compilers are Borland C++, Dev C++, Turbo C++.
4. Standard Libraries are iostream, fstream, conio etc.

As you might imagine, software-defined networking (SDN) eliminates a lot of the routine maintenance and support that ties up IT resources. This gives an enterprise the opportunity to better think strategically, become more flexible and agile, and better leverage cloud applications and a converged infrastructure. Where are we with adoption? And what role is SDN playing in the hyper-converged trend? What do IT leaders need to know about this?
Tags:CloudNetworkingSoftwareSoftware-defined networking
Less than a year ago, Gartner characterized the mainstream market action surrounding software-defined networking (SDN) as "mostly just tire-kicking." That assessment of the market, however, is fast becoming old news. IDC has forecast that the "worldwide SDN market for the enterprise and cloud service provider segments will grow from $960 million in 2014 to over $8 billion by 2018."

As cloud, mobility, and other trends create more complex architectures, networks must be able to adapt in terms of security, scalability, and manageability. Software-defined networking (SDN) is an ideal technology to simplify your infrastructure.
Recently, I was struck by a survey that I found on an industry website. A link to the full article is below, but here's the gist: Microsoft is auditing its customers at a brisk pace, and no company is immune. All software vendors retain the rights to audit their clients, and we feel that it is fair to expect these periodic compliance checks. But Microsoft is auditing customers at a 2 to 1 rate over other vendors like Adobe, IBM, and Oracle—58% of executives surveyed said they have been audited by Microsoft in the last 12 months*. Five years ago, these types of audits were relatively rare and only encountered under specific situations. Today Microsoft absolutely does not discriminate—there need be no compelling event or "areas of concern" to trigger a compliance check on your Microsoft software. Most often we are seeing Microsoft approach customers via email to conduct a self-audit, but we also see the more invasive, third-party types of audit that will send a shiver down any CIO's spine. The different kinds of audits that are being imposed really do run the gamut.

It seems like all we talk about these days is Office 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, SaaS this, and subscription that. The software industry is moving towards subscription based licensing. I attended a great indie conference for software publishers years ago. Someone there did an interesting study that showed the vast majority of subscription-based models were designed with revenue streams in mind rather than customer satisfaction. He tied those findings to another study showing very low customer satisfaction with subscription-based models (surprise!). Things have greatly improved since then, but some of the truths of that old study remain. Subscription-based licensing is different, and it requires new thinking about the consumption of software and the management of a software estate.

Welcome baaaack Mewtwomew! :D It's great to see you again! I don't really remember you much so you should go ahead and post around more this time as it really is worth it. You'll meet many cool peeps who enjoy the same thing you do so there are plenty of friends to make. Aaand since I'm curious.. did anything spark your interest for PC again in particular or did you just remember us again on a whim? A lot of people have been returning lately to discuss things like the upcoming sixth generation games, among other things.
I'm sure you'll find lots to do here this time around so fingers crossed that you stick around for longer this time. If you're lookin' for a friend you're more than welcome to leave a message on my profile and we can chat about pretty much anything. :) You seem like a cool person!
Have fun and be sure to let a moderator know if you need help, okay?
