Sony Announces PS4, Loves on Developers, Unveils Mobile Vita PS4 Gaming

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Console packs an x86 GPU, 8 GB of DDR3, a powerful GPU, and a custom processor for background processing
Sony Group President Andrew House kicked off Sony Corp.'s (
) 6 p.m. press conference with the expected news, commenting, "The demand for a new console were clear....Today we will give you a glimpse into the future of play. The most personalized gaming experience available today... the most powerful platform ever.We believe that PlayStation 4 represents a shift from thinking of a box or console... PlayStation is the best place to play."
Sony's fourth generation console
, which will enter the eigth generation of console wars has been in the works since at least 2007. The console packs a new x86 processor replacing the International Business Machines, Inc. (
) derived CELL processor from the PS3. The system has 8 GB of DDR3 RAM (unified) shared by the GPU and CPU. Sony did not specify the hard drive size, but it promises it is "huge".
The new controller has a light bar, which is recognized by a 3D camera on the console, allowing motion control (similar to the Wii, Kinnect, etc.). The new controller also features a headphone jack and share button, as rumored. The controller also features a power button that can pause games; all games will be equipped with power save features.
Sony DualShock 4 Controller
Games can be downloaded while the console is in the low power/background mode. The background processing is handled by a secondary "custom" chip. Lead architect Mark Cerny explains, "[Our] long-term vision is to reduce download times to zero... if we know enough about you we know what game you'll purchase next and download it in the background."
There's also continual support for hardware video compression when the console is on.
The console also supports using smartphones, tablets, and the PlayStation Vita as controllers via custom apps on the latter two (specific platforms were not announced). Most PS4 titles will be playable on the PlayStation Vita as a secondary screen.
For sharing Sony is pairing up with Facebook, Inc.'s (FB) ubiquitous social network and Ustream. Describes Mr. Cerny, "By combining the PS4, the PlayStation Network, and these social platforms, our goal is to become the social platform for gaming."
One thing Sony views as key to the upcoming console's success is to woo developers big and small. Much like Apple, Inc. (
) Sony made it clear that it's all about the developers and will promote small third party studios and big studios alike via abundant resources and a set of accessible APIs.
For big end studios, there's plenty of room for creativity; high end game titles are expected to feature characters with up to 30,000 polygons. Some of the high end games shown off included Killzone: Shadowfall, inFAMOUS: Second Son, Driveclub, Deep (Capcom Comp., Ltd. (
)), Final Fantasy (unnamed) (Square Enix Holdings Comp., Ltd. (
)), Watch Dogs (Ubisoft Entertainment SA (
)), a Diablo III port (Activision Blizzard, Inc. (
)), and (now-independent) Bungie's new title "Destiny".
"A lot of people pay zero for the cellphone ... That's what it's worth." -- Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook

This is my second week back at work, and I am only able to pump 2.5 oz or less on each side. I am drinking Mother's Milk Tea and taking Motherlove More Milk Plus Special Blend. However, the tricky part is, once I pump 1-2 oz from each side my Medela won't get anymore milk out, but afterwards my LO can eat for 5-10 minutes on each side. I don't have my 9 week LO at work with me, so how can I get that extra milk out during the day. I have tried compressions, squeezing my breast until they are almost as fat as pancakes.
I read about women pumping 6-8 oz in once session. What's wrong with me????

By Helena Rodriguez
One could sum up Dan Rather's sad departure from CBS news on Wednesday night in his own words: "It's way past the witching hour at this point in the game."
Since his controversial story on President Bush's military service, Rather's own career began to, as Rather said of Gore during the 2000 presidential election, "melt faster than ice cream in a microwave." This one story took Rather's legendary career as the longest running anchor on network news much farther back than the 5-yard-lline to the 3-yard-line, as he said of Bush during that infamous too-close-to-call race.
Consequently, this one bad story not only messed up the rather impressive career of Rather, which spanned more than two decades — from coverage of the Kennedy assassination to the Clinton impeachment — it was a big blow to journalism as a whole, a profession that my life has revolved around for the past 15 years.
This is my first semester teaching news writing classes as a graduate assistant at Eastern New Mexico University and, as I've told my students several times, "My how the world of journalism has changed" since I got that first dose of ink into my veins. It's a reversed world where not only Journalism 101 students need a constant reminder of the five Ws (I'm not talking about the Bush family, but the who, what, where when and why) of journalism.
Even more important than the five Ws, of course, is ethics in journalism, something my classes just spent two weeks talking about. We watched the movie, "Shattered Glass," about a rookie reporter named Stephen Glass who climbed his way to the top by fabricating stories in The New Republic magazine. We also talked about Jason Blair, the young reporter who turned The New York Times into a joke with his fabricated quotes and then became a fiction writer.
In the case of Rather, though, we're not talking about a rookie. We're talking about an American institution in journalism, the man chosen to fill the shoes of Walter Cronkite in 1981, just about the time I became aware that journalism was my life calling.
As a journalist, I can empathize with Rather. I've had more than my share of stupid mistakes over the years, but I like to think that I've also had more than my share of opportunities to make a difference in the stories that make and shape the news.
The saddest part about Rather's unsmooth sail into the sunset is that it was the actual putting together of the story he was working on that became the story, rather than Bush's questionable military record. Granted documents were flawed and Rather and his production team made an even bigger boo boo of accepting them at face value, which resulted in career suicide and a slap in the face to Journalism 101, the original story, with still unanswered questions today about Bush's military records, got lost in the controversy.
Rather won't completely disappear into the sunset though. He'll be a reporter for CBS' "60 Minutes," but it will not be the same. I really grew to like Rather's sometimes laid-back, sometimes colorful delivery of the nightly news and always flipped past Brokaw in search of his familiar face.
With Rather's departure comes a tough lesson in life we can all learn from: Just one act of carelessness, just one breach of standards, can forever leave an unwanted mark on an otherwise picture-perfect career.

A career played back as a filmstrip probably is natural when you retire. This Sunday is his last day for the 62-year-old.
Among the scrapbook of images is Beeville in 1954, when Spence and his father moved here to open a shoe store.
Then there is the one of being graduated from A.C. Jones High School in 1968.
In the next, the soft light of South Texas is replaced by the harsh, specular light of the Texas Panhandle, where he attended college at Texas Tech starting in 1968.
"I moved there," he explains, "to be near my family members."
He began as a business administration major then switched to history.
He was graduated in 1972 with a B.A. in history but, by then, he already knew he was going to head in a different direction.
"In 1970, I got the call," he says. "It felt like it was something important."
He spent a year at seminary in Jackson, Miss., then transferred to a Presbyterian seminary in Austin. He received his master's in divinity in 1976.
But not before taking a year's internship in 1975 at Grace Presbyterian in Corpus Christi, where he married his wife, Karen.
The next two snapshots are of churches where he served in Odessa and Taft.
Then, in 1978, he heeded another call, this time from the United States Air Force.
"I became an Air Force chaplain," he says. "I tried to become a Navy chaplain, but the people at Chase Field kept losing my paperwork."
The Air Force didn't lose his paperwork. It sent him to chaplain school in Montgomery, Ala.
"It was a smooth transition," he remembers. "Being in the military, you didn't have a lot to say about your housing or your posting."
The next snapshot is of the Air Force's base in Sumpter, S.C.
The next is all white: Greenland.
"I spent a year there. I got there in July of 1981. We had 22 hours of daylight. By December, we had only two hours of daylight, well, twilight, really."
He remembers the Atlantic touching half-a-mile of gravel shoreline and then an ice cliff that looked "like the white cliffs of Dover."
"The Air Force called this a 'remote' assignment, and they weren't kidding. Letters and newspapers were always three weeks old."
The next snapshot shows the heat of San Antonio, where he served for two years as a hospital chaplain at Lackland AFB.
The next snapshot was supposed to be in Europe.
"I was told I was going to Germany," Spence says. "But instead, I was sent to Grand Forks, N.D., to be a chaplain for guys in the missile silos."
He spent two years visiting the underground missile silos.
Looking back at the assignments, he realized he had spent quite a lot of time alone: in Greenland, in North Dakota.
"It was time for a change. I decided to get off of active duty."
Spence and his wife accepted the pastorship of the Presbyterian Church in Alpine. They were there for four years.
The next snapshot is their church in Sweetwater.
The Air Force recalled him to active duty shortly after 9/11; he spent a year at Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs, often servicing those underground at the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in Cheyenne Mountain.
Then the scrapbook of memories gets local. He moved to the First Presbyterian Church in Beeville.
"It had been 14 years since I was in Beeville. It was good to be back."
But in the next eight years, the seismic waves from a great doctrinal schism in the Presbyterian church began to rattle the Spence household in Beeville.
The local church was under the guidance of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America (PCUSA).
Like the Episcopalians and the Lutherans, congregations found themselves split into opposing camps: those who tolerated the ordination of women and gays, and those who didn't.
In 2006, Spence led 26 members of First Presbyterian congregation away to join the more conservative Presbyterian Church of America.
"At first, we met every Sunday in the Best Western."
Today, they worship at Providence Presbyterian.
In the Presbyterian scheme of things, the PCA is a minority church. The ratio in the United States is one PCA church for every six PCUSA churches.
The same ratio is true of congregations. Nationwide, the PCUSA claims 2 million members; PCA membership is slightly more than 360,000.
The rest of the snapshot scrapbook is blank but soon may have pictures from the Hill Country. Spence is moving to Kerrville, where he hopes to help establish more PCA congregations.
He is being replaced by the Rev. George Lacey, who will be in the congregation this Sunday.
"That doesn't often happen," Spence says. "It just worked out, so Sunday is going to remind me a little bit of the military. With George there, it's going to be a change of command ceremony."

text: The Energy Department on October 23 released a new report showing progress for the U.S. offshore wind energy market in 2012, including the completion of two commercial lease auctions for federal Wind Energy Areas and 11 commercial-scale U.S. projects. The 11 projects represent over 3,800 megawatts (MW) of capacity reaching an advanced stage of development. Further, the report highlights global trends toward building offshore turbines in deeper waters and using larger, more efficient turbines in offshore wind farms, increasing the amount of electricity delivered to consumers. This year's U.S. Offshore Wind Market and Economic Analysis, authored by the Navigant Consortium for the Energy Department, builds on last year's report, providing additional information on offshore wind's potential to add to U.S. electricity capacity and create jobs, as well as outlining policy developments that influence the sector. The offshore wind market assessment report will be updated and published annually for a three-year period, providing stakeholders with a reliable and consistent data source.

I have found this forum while searching for an answer to a problem I have with my PHP code.
Basically I want to be able to display images images from a directory on the top of my page. I found the code I am about to show you somewhere on the net.
I created a php file and called it "getimages.php" the code for this is below I have placed this file in the same directory as the images.
Code: Select all
//PHP SCRIPT: getimages.php
Header("content-type: application/x-javascript");
//This function gets the file names of all images in the current directory
//and ouputs them as a JavaScript array
function returnimages($dirname=".") {

$files = array();
if($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
if(eregi($pattern, $file)){ //if this file is a valid image
//Output it as a JavaScript array element
echo 'galleryarray['.$curimage.']="'.$file .'";';
echo 'var galleryarray=new Array();'; //Define array in JavaScript
returnimages() //Output the array elements containing the image file names
I then added this code to the part of the page where I want the images to display. you can see I changed the first line "upload/getimages.php" to specify the directory where my images are located
Code: Select all

At some feeds my LO is the typical "drunk baby" after he finished eating. Other times he unlatches and smiles and talks to me. I try to get him to eat more by offering that breast again and I'll give him the other breast as well. He usually does drink from the other breast if he's smiling at me. But even when he's done with the second breast he'll just smile and coo at me and definitely NOT be a drunk baby. I pick him up to burp him and he's just a happy baby.
I'm guessing this is normal but I've never heard anyone talk about this. Any ideas?

I gave my son (15 months) paprika about a month ago, and he had it with no problems. But yesterday he decided he wanted to eat a lot of it (a few tablespoons full), and then had some mucousy stool that day. I wonder if it could have been the paprika?
Or could it be that he's teething?
Any thoughts?

Distance Education Guide for Online Instructors
Audrey Biggs
Instructional Designer/Online Administrator
(304) 327 - 4545
Office: PE 407B (Bluefield Campus)
Distance education courses at Bluefield State are designed for traditional students and those students who are unable to attend regularly scheduled traditional classes on campus or at the other distance sites established by the college. Distance education courses are an alternative to courses taught on campus and still provide the same quality and content as those traditional classes. The following are guidelines to assist faculty in developing and teaching web-based distance education courses at Bluefield State.
- Web-based courses will be carefully planned to meet the needs of Bluefield State students.
- Distance learning courses will be periodically reviewed and evaluated using the SREB's Principles of Good Practice to ensure quality, curriculum consistency, currency, and advancement of student learning outcomes. Faculty should update course content as needed.
- A clear assessment plan shall be developed in order to achieve effectiveness and clarity in all web-based courses.
- Learning activities shall be organized around measurable objectives. There should be frequent learner assessments – either graded or ungraded – that can help students evaluate their own learning.
- Content shall comply with all copyright and fair use laws. The process for determining copyright compliance is as follows:
- Attention will be paid to the rights and privileges regarding transmission of materials as defined in Section 110(2) of the U.S. Copyright Law.
- If Section 110(2) does not apply, "fair use" as defined in Section 107 may apply. The nature and amount of the work used, and the purpose and effect of the use will be weighed to determine if fair use applies.
- If the planned use of a copyrighted work cannot be addressed by Section 110(2) or Section 107, permission of the content owner may be required.
- New online-based instructors shall undergo an in-service for developing their online course. The in-service can be in person or through an online forum. Topics will include pedagogy, copyright issues, and other areas of interest. Documents used in these in-services will also be made available on the BS Distance Education website.
- Online instructors shall communicate with the students in a timely manner. All questions should be answered within 36 hours, unless it is a weekend when a maximum of 72 hours is sufficient.
- Each Online course will be evaluated by the students using Bluefield State's "Student's Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ)" instrument conducted by the Institutional Research & Effectiveness .
- Faculty and instructors need to provide an orientation for the students in their course so that students are not intimidated by this new modality of learning. This can be done by the individual instructors or by the Instructional Designer in a general student orientation, which may be delivered online, before the semester begins.
- It is recommended that a complete listing of all commercially-produced media materials intended for use in the web-based course be submitted to the Dean of the Virtual College to ensure all licensing issues are resolved before the course begins.
- Each school and each Dean is responsible for his/her own courses and programs. Schools and Deans may choose to work with the Virtual College and Dean and thus, shall comply with Virtual College guidelines regarding distance learning including assessment, copyright issues, and curriculum.

This would be fun to replicate, even though there's a patent on it. From the abstract: "A method and apparatus of generating values and detecting whether the values fall outside chance probabilities. In one embodiment, a random-noise source provides a signal that is amplified, conditioned, and sampled to provide a series of random numbers. In one embodiment, conditioning includes inverting some of the values according to a pseudo-random sequence mask in order to remove certain first-order bias. Another aspect of this invention is to perform a statistical analysis of the values generated, and to control an output based in whether or not a chance expectation has been exceeded, or by the probability of a certain result obtained. Yet another aspect is to control a toy, game, appliance, or computer display based on whether or not a chance expectation has been exceeded by a measured sequence of values." Link: http://www.google.com/patents/US5830064Jaxerback posted:1/22/2013 7:40:30 PM I think the well known phenomenon in quantum physics might apply here.That is,through the very act of observation,the observer affects the observed reality.0x6a656666 posted:1/23/2013 9:38:42 AM Yeah, considering humans can affect the output of random number generators to a slight degree, putting a few of them in a matrix which controls a switch could potentially create psi-controlled electronics. I thought the idea was pretty sweet. It could probably be used as well to create some strange paranormal investigation equipment.Jaxerback posted:1/23/2013 8:36:58 PM But can humans really affect random number generators?Is that just an illusion?Are we all just illusions in an aliens dream?

Mr. Colbert, Take Down That Box!
By Mark Memmott • Jan 24, 2013
Thanks, Stephen Colbert, for calling attention to our Tuesday post about whether Beyoncé did or did not lip-sync the national anthem at Monday's presidential inauguration.
But did you have to put that box over this blogger's name? (Check the tape at 3 minutes, 17 seconds in.) And how about showing The Two-Way logo? We do so much and ask so little.

To: Interested Parties
From: Marge Baker, Executive Vice President, People For the American Way
Date: July 13, 2010
Re: Evaluating the Kagan Hearings
As we approached the hearings for Elena Kagan's confirmation to the Supreme Court, there was one prediction taking shape for media and political insiders alike. It wasn't that Solicitor General Kagan would come off as too conservative or too liberal, as some commentators claimed. The predication that everyone was making was that the confirmation hearings would be boring.
And everyone was wrong.
More than any hearings in recent memory, perhaps since those of Robert Bork, Americans learned how a nominee would approach the law and her role as a Supreme Court Justice. She was as erudite, personable and witty as Chief Justice Roberts was during his hearings, but unlike Roberts, Kagan also offered real substance for anyone willing to listen and real evidence that our debate around the Supreme Court is starting to change for the better.
Obviously, there were questions that were not appropriate for a nominee to answer, and, while its easy to quibble about where to draw the line, no one can argue that it had to be drawn somewhere. As much as we'd sometimes like them to, judicial nominees shouldn't prejudge cases or declare how they'd rule on a given question. Solicitor General Kagan's decision about what was off limits and what wasn't was a reasonable attempt to respect that constraint.
But that restraint didn't prevent Kagan from telling us quite a bit about how she viewed the role of a Supreme Court Justice or from laying out a forceful and well grounded approach to the Constitution.
Kagan said a great deal about how judges should approach Congressional statutes and argued for significant deference to legislators and reluctance to strike down federal law. Even when invited to take on straw men (like Senator Coburn's fruits-and-vegetables line of questioning) she went to great lengths to describe the latitude that Congress should be allowed, even pointing to Justice Holmes, approvingly noting that he "hated a lot of the legislation that was being enacted during those years, but insisted that if the people wanted it, it was their right to go hang themselves."
In applying laws passed by Congress, she emphasized looking at Congressional intent and examining the Congressional record—approaches very much at issue in cases like Ledbetter and Citizens United. Her testimony made an unmistakable argument both for the importance of judges' responsibility to uphold the Constitution and for the limits of what judges should do.
Maybe even more importantly, Kagan showed a surprising willingness to take on right-wing code words that have hobbled our conversation for years. Her response to Senator Klobuchar's question about John Roberts' balls-and-strikes analogy is a prime example. Kagan's answer eviscerated the metaphor that conservatives have been praising for years. Judges need to recognize and apply the values of the Constitution, she argued, and that isn't the kind of job a robot can do.
Democratic Senators, for their part, were unflinching and united in their criticism of the ideology pushed by the Roberts Court, with a particular focus on Citizens United. Senator Franken blasted the Court for ignoring Congressional fact-finding and handing down an unnecessarily broad ruling; Senator Whitehouse took on Chief Justice Roberts's grounds for overruling precedent in the same case; and Senator Schumer defended the long history of rulings that found anti-corruption legislation to be in line with the First Amendment. In each case, the criticism wasn't limited to the decision in a single case; these Senators were challenging the aggressively conservative judicial ideology of the Roberts Court.
Republicans, to the extent that they engaged in a debate about the law, articulated a position far out of the mainstream. Most notably, GOP Senators chose to attack Justice Thurgood Marshall and some declared that they might not have voted for his confirmation. Given that Marshall, a civil rights hero, was confirmed over the opposition of a small minority of Senators in 1967 decidedly opposed to racial justice, Republican Senators were putting themselves in uncomfortable company.
Equally revealing was Senator Coburn's side of the fruits-and-veggies debate. Essentially demanding a return to Lochner-era jurisprudence, Coburn seemed to blame the national debt on Supreme Court Justices who were insufficiently willing to overrule the decisions of Congress.
Americans are not happy with the results of President Bush's appointment of John Roberts and Samuel Alito. A recent poll [1] conducted by People For the American Way confirms what most people already know: Americans are profoundly worried about the amount of corporate influence in our political system and deeply disagree with the Court's ruling in Citizens United. The same is true of other cases. The standard GOP talking points ("judicial activism," "original intent," "not legislating from the bench") aren't ringing true any more, and there's room for a richer debate than the one we've been having for the last few decades.
For years the Right Wing made the courts a red-meat issue by focusing exclusively on the issues they cared about: criminalizing all abortions, denying gay rights and outlawing flag burning. Those issues remain important, but the right-wing strategy is running out of gas—those issues barely warranted a mention at the hearings. Instead we were treated to a real conversation about how the Court and the Constitution impact the lives of individual Americans.
Hopefully, in coming years, we'll have more of that conversation, and if our national dialogue around these issues is as "boring" as the Kagan hearings, it's going to be a fascinating conversation, indeed.

During the Service Awards event May 21, Bill Muck and Heather Coon were named recipients of the Clarence F. Dissinger Award for Junior Faculty and Senior Faculty, respectively. The awards recognize two faculty for their distinguished teaching, leadership and service to the College "above and beyond the call of duty." Muck joined the faculty in 2008 and is assistant professor of political science. Students who nominated him for the Junior Faculty Award said, his "enthusiasm is highly unparalleled, always energetic and engaging, most enthusiastic professor I ever met, genuinely interested and excited about the topics he teaches." Another student said, "Taking this class has been one of the valuable … experiences of my college career," and another wrote, "Many of my views were challenged and have changed… . He continues to inspire me and my fellow classmates." Coon, a member of the faculty since 2000, is associate professor of psychology and was granted tenure in 2006. Students who nominated her for the Senior Faculty Award said, she is "one of the most involved professors that I have ever seen on campus with students, one of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of encountering, one of the most influential people in my life." Another student said, "She listens and cares about everything students have to say," while another student added, "This professor is a wonderful advisor, an extremely involved faculty member, and a genuinely kind and helpful person."

Enrolment Services
Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)
May 28/13
The 2013/14 OSAP application is now available on line with the Ministry of Training for Colleges and Universities. Students are able to access OSAP information and submit an application through the OSAP portal (https://osap.gov.on.ca/OSAPPortal).
First time applicants note that you will be required to complete and submit a Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA) to your closest post office in order to have your funding electronically transferred to your account. Returning students who have already submitted an MSFAA will not need to resubmit this document, provided that their banking information from 2012/13 had not changed. The MSFAA is part of your regular OSAP application and should be submitted to a participating Canada Postal Outlet in your community. Further details regarding the changes to OSAP (including a list of Canada Postal Outlets) is available on the Student Awards web site at www.wlu.ca/studentawards.
Also as part of this electronic fund transfer, students may choose not to have the Student Awards Office deduct any outstanding tuition fees from their available loan funding. Please note that if you choose not to have your fees automatically sent to Laurier, you will be required to pay any outstanding fall and winter semester fees by the due date specified by the Business Office on your invoices.
If you are using OSAP to fund your university studies, it is in your best interest to allow the Student Awards Office to deduct your fees from your OSAP loans thereby avoiding interest and/or late charges.
Please note that students must apply for and submit all required supporting OSAP documentation to the Student Awards Office by August 1st, 2013 in order to be considered for reversal of interest and/or late charges. Additionally, interest and late charges may only be reversed on fees where OSAP Loans will cover the entire cost of fees for the semester or the portion of fees being covered through OSAP loans (Ontario Tuition Grants and Ontario Access Grants are not eligible for this option).
Similar to past years, the Student Awards Office encourages students to submit their OSAP application and supporting documentation now in order to have their funding process by the start of the school year. Unfortunately, due to the high volume of applications that are processed by the Student Awards Office, we can not guarantee that funding will be available to students in early September if you apply after mid July, 2013.
Students will need their OSAP Access Number (OAN) along with their password to log into the OSAP website. Initially, students will sign in with their SIN/password combination to obtain their OAN - it is important that students write down their OAN for future access to the OSAP their application. If you have lost or forgotten your OAN and password, please visit your closest post secondary institution (remember to bring your social insurance card and government photo ID) to obtain your number and to reset your password.

It's open that you don't like me, your bias opinions aren't really hype.
You don't even have an opinion on the Knicks(what discussions do you open up about the team? The only post you make is what posters you like and dislike), you'll agree with anyone in disagreement with me.
You'll never be taken seriously as a poster on this forum....lol please, go somewhere where people actually care what you have to say.
Now onto Smokes....
Smokes, this is what separates me and you.
I bring information.
You don't.
I say Melo makes a high percentage of his "bad shots", show you statistics and videos.
You say Melo leads the NBA in FGA per game without posting numbers or showing references.
Anyone who says you've won this debate is just sucking you for two reasons: 1. Your low confidence or 2. Some gay brotherhood between you and 3 other dudes.
Now that I shown you that Melo makes his "bad shots" at high percentage, you want to bring up double teams and how Melo preforms during double teams.
Didn't I break it down to you how Melo preforms when he's double team?
The information is here smokes, start reading. Your post look silly because it's all debunked statements.
Chris Herring @HerringWSJ 26s Per Synergy, Melo's passes to spot-up shooters out of double-teams have led to an 77.3% effective field-goal rate -- best in the NBA.
You're acting like Melo taking shots while being double teamed is an epidemic for the Knicks.
This is when you lost a debate because you have nothing to talk about that's worth mention.
Melo makes good decisions most of the time when he's doubled team and he's actually one of the best in the NBA in it. The information proves it and you have nothing to provide that backs up your statement.
I'll go as far to say that Knicks are a better team when Melo is doubled. Less pressure on Smith, Felton, Stat, Chandler to score. Melo will find them, and they will find Melo if they keep moving the ball like this
You said "watching games is enough to see a players faults"
But you can't say that.
You don't watch Knicks games.
(You couldn't even identify a picture from a game where Melo got fouled but it wasn't called. You had no reply for it. You're just some guy who claims to be a Knicks fan without watching the games live or participating in game threads, I'm blowing you up for being a fraud)
You watch NBA highlights....that doesn't really make you a knowledgable fan. In this thread, you've proven you lack a feel for the Knicks, this NBA season and Carmelo Anthony as a player. You're a poor reference of information for all 3 things I mentioned.
You posted one video, the first source of information you posted in this entire thread. Congratulations, but it's a weak video.
You're going to use a final 5 second shot clock situation as an example to what Melo does and what kind of shots he takes? This your BEST example? Smokes, that's the weakest argument you could present here.
I'm going to give you another chance to prove yourself here, you're not doing well; having taking a beating from a couple of pages ago...and this is your redemption post?
It's weaker than two guys who haven't been active in the forum and only coming here to to "support" you without posting anything logical. It's basically guys coming here and saying "Hey man, NICE POST, you OWNED him there." and they leave. Do you realize how silly that sounds and how silly you look that you can't have a debate with a cavalry? Tell your boys to go back to their forum if they're only coming here to lick your butt.
WVKnickfan, you failed yourself as a Knick fan when you created this thread. Melo responded back to you by breaking history. You can't save face now and you look like the weakest person possible by saying "a 62 point performance doesn't change my stance on Melo". It's fans like you that kill the community.
I use to bash Melo more than anyone in this forum.
The thing is...
That's not something I held onto. My opinions are free to change depending on how the player is preforming. When Melo started playing like an MVP, you had to respect his game and what he doing for this team. If you don't, then you're holding on to that feeling of "hoping to be right". It makes you look stubborn and ignorant. Very stiff personalities never go far.
You want Melo to average 20 ppg 10 rpg, 5 apg.
Do you realize Melo has never been a 10 rpg in his career? Same goes for LeBron and Durant. To ask a SF/PF to average 10 RPG is unrealistic. Melo is averaging 9.1 so you need to stop crying about Melo's rebounds, he's held it down this season without Chandler.
20 ppg, well; who's getting pick the rest of the slack? Knicks don't have strong scoring options on their roster. Most are average and below average. Melo is a career 25 ppg scorer, he's not averaging 20 PPG, nor will LeBron or Durant. These guys will always be 25 ppg scorers until they pass their prime.
Now the 5APG.
You want Melo to average 5APG, so do I.
But is it Melo stopping himself from averaging 5APG, or is it his teammates?
Check out this quote
"But Carmelo doesn't pass the ball!
This year, NBA.com has a ton of new stats on their site. One of them is for passing.
Let's talk Passes per game. The amount of passes per game would be a direct assessment of how willing Carmelo is to not have the ball in his hands.
Carmelo Anthony: 42.9papg in 39.3mpg = 1.09papm
Ray Felton: 59.5papg in 32.6mpg = 1.83papm
Beno Udrih: 37.7papg in 19.1mpg = 1.97papm
JR Smith: 39.5papg in 32.2mpg = 1.22papm
Paul George: 46.7papg in 36.5mpg = 1.23papm
James Harden: 42.6papg/38.8mpg = 1.10papm
Chris Paul: 73.3papg in 34.9mpg = 2.10papm
Jeremy Lin: 45.2papg in 30.7mpg = 1.47papm
LeBron James: 49.8papg in 37.4mpg = 1.33papm
Kevin Durant: 37.7papg in 38.3mpg = .984papm
So they might not pass for a purpose, but in the general sense, the Knicks pass the ball.
Now, let's look at assist opportunities. These are assists AND passes that would've been assists if the shot hadn't been missed. This is reflective of an offensive system. We've already shown that Melo passes the ball at a cmparable level as James Harden and more than Durant. But is the offense putting his passes to use? The answer is No.
Carmelo Anthony: 6.5aopg in 39.3mpg = 0.165aopm
Paul George: 7.1aopg in 36.5mpg = 0.194aopm
James Harden: 11.2aopg/38.8mpg = 0.289aopm
Chris Paul: 10.7aopg in 34.9mpg = 0.307aopm
Jeremy Lin: 7.9aopg in 30.7mpg = 0.257aopm
LeBron James: 12.2aopg in 37.4mpg = 0.326aopm
Kevin Durant: 9.8aopg in 38.3mpg = 0.256aopm
Finally, let's see how those assist opportunities are converted to assists. Are Carmelo's teammates really the worst at using the assist opportunities? Of course.
Carmelo Anthony: 3.0apg/6.5aopg = 46%
Paul George: 3.4apg/7.1aopg = 48%
James Harden: 5.5apg/11.2aopg = 49%
Chris Paul: 11.2apg/20.9aopg = 54%
Jeremy Lin: 4.2apg/7.9aopg = 53%
Lebron James: 6.5apg/12.2aopg = 53%
Kevin Durant: 5.2apg/9.8aopg = 53%
So we have all these passing stats, but if you really want to indict this offense, you want to see how many of Melo's passes are used for assist opportunities. We all know he draws a lot of attention. So is anyone doing something besides standing around?
Carmelo Anthony: 6.5aopg/42.9papg = 15%
Paul George: 7.1aopg/46.7papg = 15%
James Harden: 11.2aopg/42.6papg = 26%
Chris Paul: 11.2apg/73.3papg = 15%
Jeremy Lin: 7.9aopg/45.2papg = 17%
LeBron James: 12.2aopg/49.8papg = 24%"
So the question really is, why aren't Melo's teammates using Melo's talents to their fullest?
WVKnick, you can't credit Melo anymore. You already proven yourself to be a fraud with this thread and being unable to swallow your words after Melo's god-like night against a Top 5 NBA defense in probably one of the greatest scoring performances in all time. How many guys had 60 points with 0 turnovers?
Please, this is disgusting. (added the fact Clyde was clowning you for your collection of typos in each post and your thread title, and he's complimenting you because you're siding with his putty patrol of pals...lol, damn you got played)
You guys really need to level up in defending yourselves and not getting blown up all time.
I'm loving this thread because this is breaking KO.com history with the most blown ups.
Keep it coming, PLEASE.

News Release
Release No. 0077.13
USDA Office of Communications (202) 720-4623
Printable version
Email this page
G-8 Ag Leaders Set to Meet and Open Data to the World
Two-Day International Conference on Open Data for Ag Starts Monday, April 29
WASHINGTON, April 25, 2013 -- With a goal of uniting scientific activities across borders to feed the world, agricultural leaders from the G-8 countries will begin a two-day conference in Washington on Monday. G-8 leaders will meet to discuss the challenges and develop policies for online global platforms to share data from publicly funded agricultural research. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will head the United States government delegation and USDA's Chief Scientist, Dr. Catherine Woteki, will act as alternate head of delegation and provide scientific guidance.
"The Obama Administration is committed to opening data to the public and the research community," said Vilsack. "Open data for agriculture offers unlimited opportunity both at home and abroad. We've seen it drive economic growth in the past through the development of navigation systems, weather forecasting and other tools that were revolutionary when created, but that consumers now take for granted. Sharing data will do the same for facing the enormous challenges of reducing poverty, improving nutrition, and sustainably intensifying agricultural production to meet the demand of feeding nine billion people by 2050."
Highlights of the conference will include:
- Remarks by Secretary Vilsack to open the first day of the meeting;
- Video remarks by Bill Gates of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation;
- Panel discussions including participants such as Dr. Rachel Kyte, VP, World Bank and Todd Park, U.S. Chief Technology Officer;
- Lightning presentations by developers of apps currently in use for agricultural production;
- Presentations by key agricultural scientists on the technical details of how governments open data to the public, implications for developing countries and best practices.
- Announcements of new open data releases from government and private sector.
The range of presenters and attendees cover the spectrum of leadership from government and industry. Howard Shapiro, Global Director of Plant Science and External Research, Mars Incorporated will be a lightning presenter, as will Shaifali Puri, from Scientists without Borders, a public-private partnership led by The New York Academy of Sciences. Conference attendees will hear from representatives of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, the Global Harvest Initiative, Johns Hopkins University and top officials from federal agencies including the Department of Commerce, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Millennium Challenge Corporation and others.
Each day of the conference will include announcements from the G-8 countries and the U.S. Government about the new data being releasing.
"Taking data that taxpayers have already funded and making it public in useable formats will fuel economic growth and help drive the agricultural innovation needed to meet our global food security challenges," said Woteki. "We will provide a one-stop shop for all of our public agriculturally relevant data that can be used by entrepreneurs, scientists and agricultural leaders to build applications, conduct analyses, and perform research. This is the first step into a new, 21st century arena of accelerating agricultural research."
To hear a preview of the topics to be discussed during the conference click here. The U.S. delegation to the G-8 International Conference on Open Data for Agriculture will fulfill the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition commitment made by President Obama and G8 leaders at the Camp David summit a year ago.

I was taking 4 capsules of Fenugreek three times a day (after advice from a LC) and thought I would throw Blessed Thistle into the mix and see if it helps more. Just wondering how many people would suggest taking? The bottle says 2 three times a day, but it said that on the Fenugreek too and I'm taking more.
Also, is there anything out there that is more potent? I was taking 12 Fenugreek a day, and that really adds up.
Thanks so much!

Camping is a great past time for everyone. I have camped as a child and my children after me. But now I have a grandchild and it is the most precious thing to know something as simple as camping can bring generations to one fond moment in time. A grandchild is much more than a name but many years of memories to be made. My pictures respresent my families summertime fun in Cole's Creek in Waddington, NY on the St. Lawrence River.
Summertime ends at no age !!

Tony Evers has won a second four-year term as Wisconsin state superintendent.
Evers defeated Republican state Rep. Don Pridemore in Tuesday's election.
The race to head the state Department of Public Instruction is nonpartisan, but Democrats and unions supported Evers. Pridemore's backing came from fellow Republicans.
The candidates differed on nearly every major issue in the race.
Evers supports increasing public school funding, opposes Gov. Scott Walker's plan to expand private school vouchers and advocates allowing school spending to increase.
Pridemore supports expanding the school voucher program and doesn't believe public schools should be allowed to spend any more than they are now. He also called for allowing armed volunteers in schools as a safety measure, which Evers opposed.
Evers said his re-election victory as state superintendent shows voters support public education and oppose efforts backed by Walker to expand private school vouchers.
Evers told The Associated Press that he believes he won because of his message for more funding for public schools and against the voucher expansion plan. Evers said he also built a broad coalition of support across the state that helped him win a second term.

February 9, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — The winter sports season hurtles closer toward its finish and the results are becoming increasingly more dramatic. With the results of the indoor track divisional championships and the imminence of the OCIAA and Sullivan County Indoor Track Championships slated for February 10, 11 and 13, not to mention the coming Section 9 Division I and II wrestling championships at Monroe-Woodbury and Rondout Valley to be held respectively on February 11 and 12, along with the Section 9 Alpine skiing sectionals at Hunter Mountain on February 14, the coming week will evince the crowning of champions. For some elite athletes and teams, it means an invitation to continue their quest for even bigger quarry.
This coming week, a couple of basketball division titles will be on the line as Fallsburg's boys (6-1 OCIAA) will look for a February 8 redemption against Seward (7-0 OCIAA) for an early season overtime loss and a share of the Division V title. Tri-Valley's girls, the defending Class C champions who remain unbeaten, can move closer to the Division V title with wins over Seward and a hoped-for season sweep of mighty Tuxedo as they host the Lady Tornadoes on February 9. In a February 10 rematch of their raucous first meeting, the Sullivan West and Liberty boys will vie in Lake Huntington. The Indians won the first encounter, but had the result reversed by their use of an ineligible player. Liberty aspires to register a plea to Section 9 to be included in this year's sectionals.
This past week, Sullivan West improved to 11-4 with its commanding 56-36 non-league win over neighboring Eldred, a team that must now win all five of its remaining games to make it to the big dance. Westie Matt Cardona led all scorers in that local clash, as he poured in 22 points and authored a spate of blocked shots. Eldred's P.J. Collins blocked even more and scored 17 for the Yellow Jackets. Also on tap this week is the Fourth Annual Coaches Versus Cancer Basketball Classic slated for Sullivan County Community College on February 11. Eldred's girls will face Livingston Manor in the opening salvo, followed by a jayvee boys clash between Liberty and Monticello. The varsity boys squads will then go at it, followed by a girls clash between Tri-Valley and Sullivan West. Both of those games are rematches of last year. Monticello's boys and T-V's girls emerged victorious in last year's event, which raised upward of $3,200 dollars for the Catskill Regional Oncology Unit. This year, the Sullivan County Men's and Women's basketball teams will also stage games against the Borough of Manhattan as part of the event dedicated to the memory of Cierra Boone, a cousin of Generals' star Dante Agnew.
In skiing, Monticello's girls clinched the Division 1 title and Haley Heins was crowned individual champion, while the Montie boys finished second to Onteora as Panther Ryan Heins tied Onteora's Jake Combe for the individual title. Sullivan West's Drew Billard fractured his wrist at Belleayre Mountain on January 30 and is likely out for the remainder of the season.
In indoor track, Tri-Valley's boys and girls were crowned Division V champions. Eldred's boys and girls were runners up. Here are the individual winners from Sullivan County: Boys: 55, Craig Burns (E), 6.89; 300, Burns, 38.90; 600, Omar Lopez (T-V), 1:30.85; 1600, Hunter Proscia (E), 4:33.77; 3200, Alex Campanella (E), 9:53.98; 55H, Adrian Krzystzofowicz (E), 8.59; 800 Relay, (T-V), 1:41.82; 1600 Relay, (E), 3:44.24; Pole vault, Julian Gottlieb (E), 10-0; Triple jump, Krzystzofowicz (E), 37-03; Shot put, Brendan Tierney (T-V), 44-04.50; Weight throw, Todd Roeder (SW), 45-00.50: Girls 55, Katlynn Greffrath (T-V), 7.83; 300, Kristina Sumfleth (SW), 45.29; 600, Brittany Rennison (T-V), 1:45.40; 55H, Mareena DiMilia (T-V), 9.38; 800 Relay, (T-V), 2;06.20; 1600 Relay, (E), 4:39.09; High jump, Greffrath (T-V), 4-10; Pole vault, Breanna Brucher (E), 9-06; Long jump, DiMilia (T-V), 15-06.25; Triple jump, Rennison (T-V), 31-02.50; Shot put, Dominique Darby (T-V), 37-04.25; Weight throw, Darby (T-V), 41-04; 1500 Racewalk, Rachel Deppa (SW), 8:03.40.

The Loch Ness Monster smiles for the camera -- sort of, Ellis Island closes, actor William Holden passes away, and Madonna releases "Like a Virgin," all on this day.
1970: Figure skater Tonya Harding is born in Portland Oregon. She became notorious after her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, conspired to physically assault her skating competitor Nancy Kerrigan at a practice session during the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Harding, who went on to win the 1994 U.S. Championships, finished eighth at the 1994 Olympics, behind Kerrigan, who won silver. The two-time Olympian and two-time Skate America Champion also won the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and placed second in the World Championships in 1991. She was also the second woman, and the first American woman, to complete a triple axel jump in competition.
