Last year I undertook a project to send Thank You notes to people who have had a significant impact on my life. In part it was a meditation on Heroes, the second of the 8 Conditions that Make a Difference. You will not be surprised to learn from someone who became a teacher that many of the addressees were teachers. Although I could not find Mrs. Kelton (my first grade teacher) and received a very nice letter back from the wrong Ms. Lovero (my sixth grade science teacher), I did make contact with many others from elementary school, high school, and college and expressed my appreciation and gratitude.
During one of the best openings of a school year I have ever seen, the superintendent of the Laconia, NH school district, Bob Champlain, invited students to be present to be recognized for success they had had the previous year. First up was a high school student who had significantly improved and was on track to graduation in the current year having come precipitously close to dropping out. Bob briefly told his story and he was warmly applauded. Then Bob asked the guidance counselors and teachers who had worked with the young man to stand up. Seven people rose and there was more applause. "Please remain standing," he said. Then he asked any teacher who had had the young man in class or who had worked with him while he was in high school to stand. Another fifteen people including administrators. Then Bob asked his middle school teachers to stand. Finally, his elementary school teachers. Nearly one-third of the room was on their feet. It was a great way of embodying a truth it is often easy not to notice.
This week is for appreciating all teachers present and past. The web of relationships that comprises each one of us is taut with the many people who have taught us. If you know a Ms. Lovero who taught science in the sixth grade in Jersey City, please say thank you for me.

HR and payroll-solutions provider Paychex (NASDAQ: PAYX ) has increased its regular quarterly dividend by $0.02. This 6% rise is the company's largest since July 2007, and brings its quarterly payout to $0.35 a share.
The amount will be available to current shareholders as of August 1, and will be payable on August 15. During Paychex's fiscal 2013, the company returned 84% of its net income, or $476.7 million, back to its investors as dividends.
Paychex's president and chief executive officer, Martin Mucci, expects 2013 to be a year of "solid growth as a result of our employees' performance in sales and service delivery," which helps the company offer a healthy dividend to shareholders, as well as "invest in promising opportunities [and] our employees."

Sun holders got cash plus ETP shares. Here is a description of what happened. The numbers in square brackets are approximate values for the numbers if you held 100 shares, and if you requested all cash.
1. Take the main cash that you received (not including CIL), and divide that by $50. The result is how many shares you sold for cash. Call that N1. [52.88]
2. Take the number of shares of SUN you held, and subtract N1. That is the number of shares that got converted to ETP. Call that N2. [47.12]
3. Multiply N2 by 1.049. That is the number of ETP shares you got credited before selling the fractional share. Call that N3 [49.42888]
4. Take the fractional shares in N3 and call that N4. [0.42888 shares of ETP] and sell the fraction only for the amount you received for CIL from your broker. The CIL value will vary. [0.42888 shares sold for about $16.35]
Note: This does not try to describe the tax handling for those who held SUN in a taxable account. I would make it a point to check the 1099B from your broker. I don't know if it would be considered a sale of N1 SUN shares @$50, or if there would be some other accounting. Ideally ETP will post some info on the basis and tax consequences.

Babatunde Aremu Poems
Ink Is My Blood
I am a poet.
There is ink in my blood.
I flow through lines
As a river meandering its course.
My blood is ink,
Ink is my blood.
I give life to the depressed
I flow to educate
I flow to enlighten
I meander to caution
I wriggle to chastise
I correct ills in the lands
I flow beyond borders
I flow through out the world.
My ink flows ceaselessly after my departure
It flows to the land I never tread
My ink is my life.
My ink may look ordinary
But it is a potent force.
My ink does not faint
My ink is my blood
So, enjoy the drops of my...
Life Is A Game
Life is a game
The spectators are watching
The refrees are guiding
Keep to the rules
Never run foul of the rules
To avoid red card and early exit
Ensure fairplay to aviod caution
Avoid vicious tackles
You will enjoy the game to the end

The venue was perfect. If you love to dance it is the great dance party. There were 4 groups performing, and a band. There was too much hip hop. I was led to believe there would be difference types of dance acts.

The venue is amazing, but the event was hardly worthy of the space.

I was expecting a lot more people and different ambiances. The music was not very diverse. There were different dance types presented by little local dance groups, the shows were pretty short.

WUSA founderJohn Hendricksis part of a group interested in purchasing MLS's D.C. United, according to Washington media reports. Others in the investment group include Washington businessman Corey Barnette and former Duke basketball player Brian Davis. The group has signed a letter of intent, but no sale is imminent.
"Discussions regarding the sale of the team, in general, are ongoing," D.C. United spokesperson Doug Hicks told the Washington Times, "but it's not likely anything will happen for some time."
Hendricks, the founder and chairman of Discovery Communications, launched WUSA, which began operation in 2001 but folded in 2003. Davis, who played briefly in the NBA, is the managing partner of Blue Devil Ventures, which specializes in urban redevelopment projects. The group has been assembled by D.C. United President Kevin Payne, who has stressed that the club's new owners must have local ties, minority representation and real estate development experience. A previous deal United owner AEG had with another group fell apart.
Congress is currently studying a proposal to transfer land in the District of Columbia that would be used for the construction of a soccer stadium. D.C. United has played at RFK Stadium since its launch in 1996.

Ruby, The Rescue Cow
Written By: Ira Scott Levin AKA Uncle Eye
Ruby, the Rescue Cow
When the barn burned down,
Everybody went to town.
Who will save Mrs. Brown?
Ruby, the Rescue Cow. Moo!
When the bandits attacked,
knocked the train right off the track.
Who will lift it right off the ground?
Ruby, the Rescue Cow. Moo!
Chorus: Ruby- Ruby- She's a little farm girl.
Ruby- Ruby- She's out in the world.
Ruby- Ruby- When she was a little calf,
Ruby- broke her pen, she broke it in half!
The farmer sold Ruby to the Rodeo
She was kidnapped by cattle rustlers stealing the show.
When they tried to brand her, she said: "Whoa!"
She gave 'em the right hoof, pow!
Now she's Ruby, the Rescue Cow! Moo! Chorus.
Utterly fantastic with a flick of her tail,
The day is saved and the milk's in the pail.
Wiping the sweat off your brow-
Ruby, the Rescue Cow.
The Flamingo Tango
Written By: Uncle Eye
The Flamingo Tango
There was a flamingo, who danced a mean tango,
played guitar like Django, inside a pitted mango.
She loved a lobster who wore a red carnation.
The lobster was a mobster who ruled the seafood nation.
His henchman all were shrimps, his bouncer was a whale.
The lobster had a limp; there was a steel plate in his tail.
Chorus: March up and down, and wiggle your tail-o.
Its time to bob your head, and twist your neck like so…
Stand on one leg, and lean way back, whoa- oh, oh!
Stand on the other leg...that's the flamingo tango.
The flamingo got a gig in a hotel in Miami,
She would do the floorshow with a pink pig named Sammy.
Sam was a ham; he loved to dance the hula,
And the old soft shoe, Sammy was a hoofer!
The flamingo played flamenco. It was right up his alley.
It flipped his toupee, and for their finale...Chorus.
The lobster, he was jealous, he boiled up with rage!
"Put the flamingo in her mango,
Put this pig in a cage!
Mr. Whale, you guard the mango.
You Shrimps guard Sammy.
I'll find some other bird who wants to win a Grammy!"
The flamingo asked the whale if he'd like an appetizer,
"We could split some shrimp and a case of Crystal Geyser."
The lobster's in his room, wearing his pajamas.
The flamingo and the pig flew off to the Bahamas.
The lobster was arrested, along with the whale.
The judge now wears dentures where he bit the lobster's tail.
But the Whale made bail, and joined the others down in Cuba.
Where the flamingo plays guitar and the whale plays the tuba! Chorus.
Palace of Wonders (The Library Song)
Written By: Uncle Eye
Palace of Wonders
So, you think that your life it is terribly dreary.
Grab a tricycle, bicycle or an elephant dearie!
A scooter will do, put your foot in your shoe.
Come along and you will see, a great mystery
A palace of wonders, adventures for free!
Intrigue, sensation, in one fine location.
Where can this be?
Come closer my child and I will whisper to thee:
It's not a secret; it's the old, li-br-ary!
Chorus: Library, library, I love the library!
Fantasy…History…so much to see.
Library, library, I love the library!
A palace of wonders for you and for me!
Look for one in your neighborhood, look around town.
Get someone to show you where it can be found.
It maybe new, or old as the hills,
But there's stories in there and they are packed to the gills!
Go in through those doors, now don't be afraid…
Sure there are monsters, but you'll lead their parade!
And the librarian will come to your aide.
To find you a book you can read in the shade.
Check out Dr. Seuss; let him see your backyard.
No one will stop you; you'll have your own card,
You'll have your own card!! Chorus.
Learn a new language, travel through time.
Visit the poets and learn how to rhyme!
There are secrets on microfilm, pretend you're a spy!
There are rooms of resources for how to and why.
There's movies and music, computer and art…
It never ends, but begins when you start
to explore… You're in store
for Oh so much more! Chorus.

The Spirit Horse print will be the showpiece of your equestrian art!

His adoration for horses brings us his collection of equestrian art capturing the beauty and grace of wild horses.

Hanging hardware included. Print measures 15 1/4" x 15 1/4". Frame measures 3" wide. Total size is approximately 21 1/4" x 21 1/4".

- Accidental Innuendo: A visual example. The Build Team was testing the myth of the Ballistics Barrel, but one of their first tests involved strapping a test dummy on the top of the barrel, filling up the barrel with rocket fuel. The ignition came in from a remote-controlled car pushing a firecracker to the hole and repeatedly ramming it there to try to get ignition. In fact, most of the tests in Ballistics Barrel can be considered Accidental Innuendo depending on the actual setup.
- The increasingly ridiculous excuses made by guest Seth Rogen in the Green Hornet Special for every element of the "elevator cut" scene that the build team completely busts, in order to allow them to go on to testing the next part of the scene. It's a fairly standard MythBuster practice to Hand Wave or otherwise ignore busted elements of a given myth if there's still some good TV to be had out of testing the rest of it (the "Killer Washing Machine" myth is a particularly good example), but having Rogen present to argue his points to the very dubious build team doesn't come off quite the same way as the team's usual attitude of "it's already busted, but there's still a chance to blow something up so we're going to keep going anyway."
- Done again, just as annoyingly, with the creator of the Breaking Bad show during the crossover special, this time for both myths. It's clearly tongue-in-cheek, however, as when show creator Vince Gilligan suggests that the bathtub in the acid bath scene might have been made of something less durable than cast iron - perhaps "some kind of soft cheese."
- It seems to be a running theme, since the representative of The Simpsons used such an explanation to Hand Wave why one myth related to the show was un-Busted.
- James Cameron took a different tack; he basically admitted that Stupid Sacrifice was in play in Titanic (1997)... in order for the story to work, Jack had to die, one way or the other, and if he'd thought of a better way, he'd have used it.
- Cliché Storm: A prevalent form of humour in Kari, Tory and Grant's segments of the show.
Kari: (to the camera, while testing a car-related myth) I feel the need. The need, for speed.
- Crazy Awesome: The entire idea of the show is this! Five Mad Scientists blow up, shoot, break, and damage tons of stuff all in the name of finding out if a myth is true or not.
- Critical Research Failure: While testing myths related to the Moon-Landing Hoax, Adam holds up an Apollo astronaut figurine and says that it's Neil Armstrong because of the figure's red commander markings. Neil Armstrong's suit never had any red markings. They were an embellishment added to commanders' suits from Apollo 13 onwards because people had trouble distinguishing the Apollo 11 and 12 astronauts on TV.
- Growing the Beard: The first season had a significantly slower pace than later seasons, one point being that the show would stop to have Heather Joseph-Witham give elaborate and unnecessary information regarding the myth. As well, a higher percentage of the show focused on Jamie and Adam's efforts to acquire the parts needed and their interactions with the bemused sellers (e.g. Jamie trying to get the JATO rocket). Evidently the charm of the show was still there, but the second season started featuring the Build Team and had a greater focus on the actual experimentation and their efforts to recreate the myth.
- "Holy Shit!" Quotient: Whenever you can get one of these guys to go "Holy Shit!" you know you got something big. Among them is the Cement Truck Explosion, the near supersonic Rocket Sled and the terminal velocity See Saw Catapult. The Rocket Sled experiment made Adam stay speechless for several seconds, immersed in pure awe.
Narrator: Awesome is such an overused word. But that truly inspired awe.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: During the Bug Special episode, Jamie likens the toy helicopters on a sheet to a man trying to move a sailboat he's on by blowing on the sail: You don't get anywhere, and can't. A few episodes later, the Build Team enacted that thought experiment. If you have a strong enough fan, and a large enough sail, this can work. Not very well, but the boat does move.
- Internet Backdraft: A common problem when the MythBusters test a particularly controversial myth. While there are legitimate criticisms in their testing methods which led to retests, such as using the wrong type of scope for Carlos Hathcock's famous Scope Snipenote , there are just a many complaints due to viewers just being plain unhappy that the results of the myth didn't conform to their expectations. However, the Mythbusters are all familiar with the trope, joking about how they'll be deluged with angry e-mails and forum posts.
- With the 2014 announcement that the Build Team was leaving, the show has been subjected to a torrent of fan hate on social media.
- Like You Would Really Do It: Of course Adam and Jamie weren't really going to microwave a poodle when testing microwave myths.
- Memetic Mutation (Usually due to becoming part of the opening sequence.)
- "I Reject Your Reality, and substitute my own."
- "Am I missing an eyebrow?"
- In a retrospective Adam said that he asked the question in jest, he was trying to calm people down and let them know he was okay. When Jaime responded "Yeah." and added that his hair was also scorched you can see that look of shock on his face.
- This is, of course, because Adam had a date that evening and was planning on proposing; happily, she said yes. To date, they remain happily married.
- "Quack, damn you."
- "When in doubt... C4! Heh heh heh!"
- "Well there's your problem."
- A number of these were featured in the 25th Discovery Channel anniversary episode.
- "Jamie want big boom."
- "I kinda like it in here, it's private."
- Misblamed: While the MythBusters do make mistakes from time to time, complaints that they are "highly unscientific" is quite a glorification of how science works. Science is all about coming to any conclusion through testing and then retesting the results. As XKCD said, "Everything else is just bookkeeping." They are also under a time constraint to complete the testing or are given incentive to twist the results in some way (which will happen with scientists just the same, they get money from somewhere). Also, a big aspect of scientific research is verification and replicability, since they are the only ones doing what they are doing it means it is unlikely to be backed by any other research teams, which is not their fault.
Dan Tapster, executive producer (Discovery): We were very keen for [Imahara, Byron and Belleci] to be a part of the show, we are massive fans of theirs, and what they did over 10 years was phenomenal. There were negotiations, and based on those negotiations, they opted out. It's a shame for them. It's a shame for us. But it gave us the opportunity to reinvent the show, which it kind of needed.Adam Savage: Kari, Grant, and Tory are good friends of ours and we love those guys. We didn't want to see them go. The actual reasons for them going — while we have certain understandings of what went on, that's a contract discussion between Discovery and those guys. We don't know much about how that actually went.
- As well, in order to fit X number of myths and make it interesting, not just reducing it to pure testing and zero goofing around, a lot of footage will be excluded from an episode where it shows them doing even more experimentation, so complaining that they are "Doing it once and calling it good" is also false.
- Similarly, despite jokes that they are haphazard and dangerous (Adam: "You know what separates us from a couple of 15 year old pyromaniacs [knocks on panel] ballistics glass..."), they are very much conscientious about safety and if they ever handle the explosives rigging they are being supervised by professionals. The same goes for other situations where they call in experts in how to safely test weaponry, vehicles and other dangerous situations. In particular, the Dec 2011 mishap got a lot of people upset that the MythBusters could have killed people, but the testing was done at a bomb range with those same experts used to make sure the testing was done safely. It was just a freak accident.
- When rocketry expert and "Honorary MythBuster" Eric Gates was tragically killed in December of 2009, critics automatically assumed it was due to an experiment gone awry and called the show unsafe. Gates had died in a completely unrelated construction accident.
- When the somewhat infamous "Buster's Cut" episodes note first aired, Adam and Jamie were quickly blamed for them, despite neither having any part in the editing or broadcasting process.
- Adam and Jamie for the Build Team's 2014 departure from the show. While the full details about exactly why the decision was made haven't been revealed, indications are that it involves Executive Meddling. There's no evidence that Adam and Jamie themselves were in favor of their departure, but that doesn't stop some fans from blaming them for it. (The show has a history of folks at Discovery pulling strings in ways that the hosts don't particularly like. Sometimes, the hosts push back and ultimately get their way; other times, they don't.)
- Later interviews revealed that the Build Team was let go due to failed contract negotiations. In short, they wanted more money than Discovery was willing to pay. Adam and Jamie had nothing to do with it.
- Most Annoying Sound: Any show where the subject under testing encourages Adam to do a horrible accent for the entire show, especially anything with pirates.
- Never Live It Down: Kari's first official appearance on the show was having her butt scanned to make a simulaid. In an interview episode, she later commented on how well-known this role of her's is.
Kari: Now you Google my name and what's the first thing that shows up? My butt. note
Kari: What woman would not want her 27-year-old butt immortalized forever?
- However, years later she downplayed this in an outtake from the reunion special:
- Older Than They Think / "Weird Al" Effect: Adam Savage's memetic quote regarding substitution of reality actually comes from the film The Dungeonmaster (with an alternate title of Ragewar).
- Padding: Practically every return from commercial break, or every segue from the Adam-Jamie myth to the Grant-Tory-Kari myth, includes a lengthy recap of what's already happened in the episode. This helps pad the episode out to an hour.
- Seasonal Rot:
- As the show goes on, they started testing stories that are clearly set up for marketing purposes (the scaled-up Newton's Cradle video they were examining was a commercial made using blatant CGI) and attempting to recreate something that was known to have occurred in a controlled environment (like a movie stunt) or are pure fantasy (like the episode testing gags from The Simpsons). Also, in early Season 10, Adam stopped referring to what a lot of what they're testing as myths and started calling them tropes instead since a huge chunk of the experiments were made up of examining stunts performed in films and television.
- Then there was the dragon lady "myth", which could easily be summed up as an excuse to watch Adam and Jamie go through training exercises with the end goal being sending one of the myth busters to low orbiting space. While the end result was admittedly pretty amazing to see, many noted how this "myth" and the plot line dealing with it completely clashed with the old feeling of the show, with the "myth" feeling blatantly tagged on and only brought up at the end as an after fact.
- Spoiled by the Format: Because they go on to replicate the results of every myth they bust, you can usually tell whether the myth is true based on how far into the episode they are when they test it full-scale. On at least one occasion Adam himself has openly acknowledged this by commenting that they have far too much time left in the episode not to take their testing further.
- Suspiciously Similar Song:
- In an episode involving whether or not a car will always explode after it drives off a cliff, the Explosive finale included a song very reminiscent of, but legally distinct from, Guns N' Roses' "November Rain". Especially strange considering that "Don't Cry" is the Guns N' Roses video featuring an exploding car going over a cliff, and "November Rain" has a wedding reception as its climax.
- When the build team are trying to chase greased pigs, something suspiciously close to Yakety Sax plays during a sped-up shot.
- They played an off-kilter variant of the Indiana Jones theme when testing a myth from one of the movies.
- Defied in later seasons, as (for example) they were able to license and use the official music for the Indiana Jones, Jaws and both Star Wars specials in 2014-15.
- Tear Jerker: The reunion episode. Highlights include:
- The story of the fan who saved herself and her daughter thanks to MythBusters.
- The various farewell messages from people such as Chris Hadfield, James Cameron, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Pres. Obama, and Stephen Colbert.
- (What's left of) Buster being given to the Build Team as a souvenir.
- Heck, any given moment where they showed a clip from the show can set off the waterworks and the realization that it's the end.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: When they were filming the "A-Z Explosion Special" and got to X, they could have done a Xylophone Gag but didn't.
- Uncanny Valley: The Mission: Impossible face masks had this problem, but still worked well enough in general to be plausible. The Adam mask was worse in this regard, since it was made over a generic head mold and therefore didn't fit Jamie's head all that well.
- Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: In the early days, Adam, Grant and Kari posted occasionally on the Discovery forum. Adam was driven off by a death threat over the results of their first Scope Snipe test, Grant left after being harassed by Monday morning quarterbacks and Kari left after receiving lewd comments by fanboys.

I have listened to the Twin Cities Masters Chorale on several occasions. Their music is beautifully done. They have sung in several different venues, including Benson Great Hall at Bethel University and Wooddale Church. They are very professional in their appearance and conduct and I look forward to another chance to hear them.

Wii U
Nintendo stock: sell now or wait

good luck finding someone to buy your stock.
The hell are you talking about? He probably has a modern brokerage account.. you don't need to go out and "find a buyer". You can see the bid/ask for NTDOY in real time almost anywhere. Assuming this is just a half-assed attempt at trolling Nintendo. Not very well done.
MilesTeg420 3 years ago#12
Definately wait. If Animal Crossing NA release can cause a spike, Pokemon most certainly will as well. 3DS will be pushing big numbers this holiday with that, Zelda, and Mario Party along with the other software released beforehand.
Also Wii U has nowhere to go but up. Even when the new consoles release, it will still be selling more than it is currently.

research, look online and grab there last 8 quarter financial reports and see if you think the company is trending up or down.
Do you believe that in the near future nintendo will release good or bad news. Good/bad news can change the price of stock really quickly. Are you looking for short term gains or an investment?
If you don't like the smell of pigfarts, stay out of the pigpen.
I can tell that you have to wait, every nintendoom news is lowering the price of the stock, but as we already see pikmin 3 moved the console, and even though the last quarter was not that good, I think this quarter nintendo will see some increase on the price, so the trend until next year is the stock will be up, last week has increased 4% one of the best close since 2011, so I 'll say wait

Never do anything just because somebody TELLS you to do it. Make up your own decision by analyzing the market, the trends, past history... be involved in every bit of Nintendo business news you can.
Every single console release from Nintendo for the last 2 decades has resulted in a slow yet eventual gradual increase in stock value - drastically - about 2 to 3 years after the console release.
This is NOT a guarantee that there will be another drastic increase. It IS proof that Nintendo knows how to make money, and shows their trends and patterns. The trick is spotting if they are continuing down that same road.
Flux Capacitors are out of stock, so you'll have to do your best with the information you find.

actual financial analyst doesn't know the market that well, I recall someone posting a video where analyst doomed nintendo when sega entered the market, so probably it's better to have a financial advise from the market itself, I know most of the people doesn't know about financial market, but some people like me that we have little knowledge we can help
No way I'm selling now. The console is just starting to gain momentum. Maybe I'll sell at $20
Not changing this sig until we get a new main series Tales game released on a Nintendo console in the US
I currently own ~30 shares of NTDOY which I purchased back in 2006. Here's my advice:
Nintendo stock isn't a volatility play; aka buy low, sell high. The stock price generally (except for post-Wii release) remains pretty steady. So unless you have many shares, you really won't see much of a benefit. Where you do make a healthy return on your investment is with their dividends.
For those who don't know, a dividend is a percentage of net income (profit after tax) that a corporation chooses to 'give back' to the shareholders. For Nintendo's last FY13, the dividend was 100 yen a share; roughly $1.10/share. That means that I received $33 from Nintendo last fiscal year.
This 100 yen is during an albeit poor year (this latest upswing is because, in my opinion, Nintendo hit rock bottom so it's all up from here.) During the good years, they use to be closer to 500-700 yen a share. In this way, you can see that over the course of you holding on to your shares (which you probably paid some ~$12-14) it makes a lot of sense for you to wait and cash out on the dividends.
What's important to note is that corporations aren't obliged to give dividends, but Nintendo is one that does almost exclusively. Generally corporations like Apple, who's stock has a lot of volatility won't give out dividends (albeit this year they did, but that's another story entirely.)
tl;dr Nintendo isn't about price volatility, it's about long-term gains from dividends. I recouped my initial investment and made a handsome profit, although I paid $33/share. So hold and wait for the quarterly/yearly dividends.

LaMarcus Aldridge on dislocated finger: 'It freaked me out'
San Antonio Spurs big man LaMarcus Aldridge suffered a pretty nasty injury on Thursday night, and it sounds like it gave him quite the scare.
San Antonio Spurs big man LaMarcus Aldridge suffered a pretty nasty injury on Thursday night, and it sounds like it gave him quite the scare.
LaMarcus Aldridge decided to delete his Twitter account at some point after his San Antonio Spurs were blown out by the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge has looked like the best free agent signing in the NBA from this past offseason, and it hasn't been particularly close.
In making his pitch to free agent forward LaMarcus Aldridge, Heat president Pat Riley may have inadvertently driven Aldridge to the San Antonio Spurs.
He has yet to even play in a single preseason game for his new team and already offseason San Antonio signee LaMarcus Aldridge is getting his first heavy dose of Spurs-related culture shock.
Most of the reasons LaMarcus Aldridge signed with the San Antonio Spurs are obvious — the best coach in the NBA, a tradition of winning, a chance to contend for a championship immediately while
There are plenty of people who believe that LaMarcus Aldridge had made up his mind about joining the San Antonio Spurs long before he took meetings with other teams.
Carmelo Anthony believes the New York Knicks had a legitimate chance to sign LaMarcus earlier this offseason. And then they blew it.

Rich pickings for Pyrah
Yorkshire moved back to the top of Group B in the Clydesdale Bank 40 with a thumping five-wicket win over the Netherlands.
They were in control from the moment captain Andrew Gale elected to bowl first after winning the toss in Schiedam, restricting their hosts to 154 for nine thanks largely to Richard Pyrah's 4-24.
A moderate target proved well within Yorkshire's grasp, Jonathan Bairstow carrying them home with four overs to spare with 46 not out off 48 balls.
Tim Bresnan struck twice in the sixth over to remove Eric Szwarczynski and Michael Dighton, giving Yorkshire an advantage they never relinquished.
Ajmal Shahzad bowled Tom Cooper before medium-pacer Pyrah wrecked the middle order, repeating the feat against Netherlands captain Peter Borren and having Wesley Barresi taken by Bresnan at midwicket.
Mudassar Bukhari was caught behind in Pyrah's next over as the Netherlands slipped to 64 for six, and leg-spinner Adil Rashid won lbw verdicts against Peter Seelaar and Bas Zuiderant en route to figures of 2-28.
Although Maurits Jonkman's unbeaten 25 - the highest score of the innings - added an air of respectability to the Netherlands' total, Adeel Raja - his partner in a ninth-wicket stand of 29 - was cleaned up by Pyrah for 19.
An asking rate of just 3.8 runs an over was never likely to tax Yorkshire, although their ambitions were checked by the loss of Jacques Rudolph, who contributed just six to an opening stand of 41 with Andrew Gale before skying Bernard Loots to midwicket.
Gale perished four balls later - caught and bowled by Jonkman for 32 - and Anthony McGrath's departure - lbw to Borren - left Yorkshire 60 for three.
Adam Lyth made 23 before he was caught behind off Borren, but Bairstow eased any nerves in the Yorkshire dressing room by hitting five fours and two sixes.
By the time Gerard Brophy holed out to Cooper off Seelaar, Yorkshire were as good as home.

A buddy of mine told me yesterday that the Bay Street crowd behind the ProMetic deal is now getting behind a company called Leonovus (LTV-TSXV). Evidence of this is quite apparent in the BNN link below where Bob Mcwirter takes a call from an investor at about the 5:30 mark of the segmant from yesterday's show. I think it is just a few minutes before he profiles PLI. http://watch.bnn.ca/#clip856625

hi ,
i was experimenting with printf() and saw that printf() is returning one more than actual number of characters it sent to output buffer. but it is not happening with the string argument. can any one explain why it is happening? i am using codeblock 10 and GNU gcc compiler .
Re: please help me with printf()
You will need to post some code that shows the problem. It is likely you are seeing correct behaviour and simply misunderstanding it, but I suppose it's possible it could be a bug.

Volkswagen's sleek four-door CC receives a host of updates for the 2013 model year. Its new front and rear styling gives the car a stronger family resemblance to its Jetta and Passat siblings, and it's more practical as it goes from a four-seat to a five-seat layout with a new three-place rear bench seat. It hits dealerships in spring 2012, and competitors include the Acura TSX, Nissan Maxima and Buick Regal.
The 2013 CC retains its coupe-like profile, which is one of its signature visual features, but the front and rear of the car have an all-new look. Newly standard bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights are enclosed in new surrounds, and the grille and front bumper have a more horizontal, angular appearance that closely resembles the look of Volkswagen's Passat family sedan. LED daytime running lights are optional.
In back, new rectangular LED taillights emphasize the car's wide, low stance. There's also a new range of 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The R-Line version of the CC will be offered later in 2012. It has a number of unique exterior cues like extended sport bumpers and darkened taillights. Additional exterior features include:
- Standard rain-sensing windshield wipers
- Standard dual exhaust tips
- Optional adaptive headlights
- Optional power moonroof
- Optional headlight washers with heated nozzles
The biggest difference in the 2013 CC's cabin is the new seating layout, which should make the car more attractive to families, especially those with kids in child-safety seats who prefer to install them in the middle of the backseat — something that wasn't possible in the prior CC.
Standard features include sport seats, a multifunction steering wheel, air conditioning, power-adjustable heated front seats, simulated leather upholstery and Bluetooth connectivity. A touch-screen six-CD stereo with HD Radio and iPod connectivity is also standard. Additional interior features include:
- Optional ventilated front seats
- Optional memory feature for the driver's seat
- Optional massaging driver's seat
- Optional Dynaudio premium stereo
- Optional navigation system
- Optional brushed-aluminum trim
- Optional ambient lighting
- Optional power rear sunshade
Under the Hood
The CC's available drivetrains carry over mostly unchanged. Volkswagen's workhorse 200-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard and the brand's 280-hp, 3.6-liter narrow-angle V-6 is optional. Mechanical features include:
- Six-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (four-cylinder)
- Six-speed automatic transmission (V-6)
- Four-cylinder models gain Volkswagen's XDS limited-slip differential, which uses sensors to detect wheel slippage and transfer torque to the wheel with the most traction
- Front- or all-wheel drive
Safety features include:
- Standard antilock brakes
- Standard electronic stability system
- Standard side-impact airbags for the front seats
- Standard side curtain airbags
- Optional backup camera
- Optional front and rear parking sensors

WASHINGTON (AP) - US factory orders increased in December even though companies trimmed their orders for goods that signal investment plans.
The Commerce Department says factory orders rose 1.8 per cent in December compared to November, when orders had fallen 0.3 per cent.
Demand for core capital goods, a category considered a proxy for business investment plans, dipped 0.3 per cent in December following strong gains of 3.3 per cent in November and 3 percent in October.
Orders for durable goods, items expected to last at least three years, rose 4.3 per cent, slightly below the 4.6 per cent estimated in a preliminary report. The increase reflected strong gains for military and civilian aircraft.
Orders for non-durable goods such as petroleum products, chemicals and paper, declined 0.3 in December after a 1 per cent drop in November.

David Beckham said he doesn't expect to play every game for England and that he's comfortable with that. On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder was an 84th minute sub in England's 4-1 win over Croatia in World Cup qualifying while his replacement, 19-year-old Theo Walcott, scored a hat trick.
"I'm pleased for Theo and the team, and I am happy to be here with the squad, but I don't expect to play in every game anymore," said former 33-year-old England captain. "That's the way it is now.
"I was happy to get on in both games [Andorra and Croatia] and would have liked to have played more but it's all about the team and the squad, and qualifying for the World Cup.
"I really don't care if I play or not. I'm just happy with the way they played and with the six points from the two games. The biggest thing is England winning and qualifying."
Beckham was a 79th minute sub in last Saturday's 2-0 win over Andorra.

Welcome to Hotel California, casual, relaxed and airy, nestled in the jungle with sweeping ocean views on three wooded acres.Monkeys, sloths, dart frogs, birds, iguanas and all type of local wildlife trek through on a daily basis.It is a little off the beaten path on a short dirt road off the main road to Manuel Antonio but 5 minutes away from everything, the beach, the city of Quepos, banking, restaurants etc.
Hotel Rooms
Our room are ready and waiting for you.
Our Services
California Horel provides all services you need.
Great location stupendous view! Beautiful building. Great room. Excellent view of the jungle and ocean. Very reasonable cost. Highly recommend! Only downside is scary treacherous entrance. Poor signage directing you to the hotel. We loved our stay there!
Beautiful view, wonderful owner! The hotel is a high end three, large enough to have a varied staff but small enough that the owner herself is often present. Meet her if you can, she brings the "California" part in a big way. The hotel is tucked away a few hundred yards off of the main road, which makes a surprisingly big difference in terms of feeling isolated. The whole area is a major tourist zone base for Manuel Antonios National Park and can feel really crowded, which Hotel California escapes entirely. I will definitely stay there again when I'm back this way.
