Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TaS, Jan 6, 2009.
The high DNP frequency is a streak killer.
Look at personal fouls...
I tried to make a list of all the bigmen who the pistons might target for trades. There really arent' that many. Player Season Finder | Basketball-Reference.com
After skimming the first half of the thread I have some rookie questions. TaShawn presented some numbers on defense sorted by defensive points allowed per 48 min. Wouldn't a per 100 possessions stat be more appropriate since the change in defensive points allowed could depend on the player slowing down/speeding up the offense thus changing the amount of opponent possessions per 48 min? Or is this negligible? Another thing I read was the discussion about stolen rebounds, or rather in particular the parts about splitting offensive and defensive rebs. I actually had some thoughts about this last night when I noticed that the D gets 0.74 of the rebs which leaves the O with only 0.26. Doesn't this mean that a offensive rebound is worth almost three times as much as a defensive since you gain 0.74 expected possessions (it's still the same possession, but didn't know how to explain it better) from the other team when grabbing an offensive compared to 0.26 when getting a defensive? If this is true then I guess it makes it vital to separate offensive and defensive rebounds. Does this make 0.74/0.26*O + D a better way to add the rebounds when evaluating a player? Or is my logic flawed?
This is a good point. When the 2004 Championship Pistons went on their big run of holding teams to under 70 points, a lot of that could have been attributed to the fact that Detroit had one of the slowest offenses in the league. Opponents were simply not getting many possessions. I think your logic is flawed in this one. If guys are not collecting the defensive rebounds, then that means they are giving up extra possessions to the other team. All rebounds are important, irregardless if it is offensive or defensive. I don't think one is more valuable than the other.
Thanks guys. Will check out that link. And btw, with the defensive stats I meant the individual numbers where Kwame turned out to be the best defender in the team, not the team stat. I realize playing style isn't negligible when comparing teams 48 min stats, but was more thinking of the small (?) effect for example Kwame has on the amount off possessions in a game.
Understood. Per possession is the best for that. It's just a harder stat to find. If you look at the plus/minus section in this link, then you can figure out how many possessions per 48 min we averaged with Kwame on the court. Kwame Brown of the Detroit Pistons, NBA player stats 1207 points by the team with KB on the floor 658 minutes with KB on the floor 100.9 points per 100 possessions (stat given to us by 82 games) So, 1.009 points per possession Which means 1,196 possessions with Kwame last year Which means 1.8176 possession per minute Which means 87.25 possessions per 48 min with Kwame on the court. Let's compare to someone who we think might speed up the tempo... Jerebko (with 2 healthy achilles tendons). 4,350 points by the team 2,230 minutes with JJ on floor 108.2 points per 100 possessions So, 1.082 points per possession 4,020 possessions with JJ on court last year 1.8028 possessions per minute 86.54 possessions per 48 min with Jerebko on the court Team was actually slower with jerebko than kwame. There are many reasons why this could be the case (less turnovers with JJ, more defensive rebounds for Kwame and outlets, different cast of teammates/ point guards, etc).
Interesting, sometimes you just get the wrong impression and stick with it. Perhaps Kwames higher pace is because of his natural inability to palm the ball? I found a post by Phil Birnbaum who writes the blog Sabermetric Research claiming "Defensive rebounding stats: barely meaningful?" Sabermetric Research: Defensive rebounding stats: barely meaningful? He refers to another blog called Count The Basket where a study in diminishing returns on rebounding is presented. (this guy actually mentions the exact same link you did TaS) Count The Basket » Diminishing Returns and the Value of Offensive and Defensive Rebounds Dunno what to make of this really but it supports the idea of valuing offensive and defensive differently. There were more links in the studies but I haven't read them all since every link led to a guy recommending two other links all the time.
On a sidenote, I just love how a forum created in 2004 with 1351 members looks like the APBR-forum does. In effect only one subforum where they post every new thread and it looks like they haven't done a single change to the layout except adding the APBR-logo in the upper left corner. Hardcore stuff imo!
When I wrote the post about 5-man units in the rotation thread I noticed some tendencies of Stuckey plus another PG having decent results (a claim made many times here) and a few days later I stumbled upon statistics for tandems on 82games.com. However there was no stats for tandems available for the 09/10 season but who cares *dramatic pause* when you can make your own! [WARNING - VERY FLAWED AND UNRELIABLE STUDY FOLLOWS, PROCEED AT OWN RISK] I took the data for our 30 best 5-man units from 82games.com* and pasted it into Microsoft Excel. I removed all lineups not containing Supercollider and sorted the units with Bynum or Chucky in one column and kept the rest in another. This resulted in 951.4 minutes of Stuckey without a PG and 379.1 minutes with Stuckey next to a PG. Pretty small samples, I know, but it was all I could find in the limited search I did. Some units might have played during garbage time, some played small ball, some played against the best there is jada jada. A lot of flaws so take everything with a pinch of salt. After arranging the data I weighted everything for minutes played and calculated Win% and the units net points per 100 possessions. Who cares, give us the results! Units with Stuckey next to a PG outperformed the other category in both departments showing a Win% of 53.61 compared to 46.43 and net points by 8.87 to -0.65. I haven't drawn any big conclusions from this since I only did it for fun and not for finding out the ultimate truth but it looks like Stuck plays better next to a PG. But it could also depend on alot of other things ofcourse. One thing I noticed when arranging the units was that none of the Stuckey/PG units included Hamilton, but a third of the minutes included Gordon. This might skew the results somewhat (in any direction). Provided some thumbnails of the sheets but I didn't have the energy to fix the layout. The column without topic is just a some middle step in a calculation. * Detroit Pistons top five man units data from 82games.com Without extra PG. With extra PG.
Keep in mind also that the 82games "best" 30 combos sorts by cummulative +/-, not per minute. So, if the starters have a positive point differential tendency, they tend to show up at the top of the list. If they are slightly negative, they show up at the bottom, since it is magnified by the number of minutes they play together. Ideally, they'd rank by +/- per minute with a qualifying cutoff limit at some minutes level that becomes statistically significant. In some ways last year is tough to draw data from because it was so screwed up, but in other ways, we got to see a ton of different combinations and it makes individual +/- stats more meaningful.
I took the stats from Pistons Top Five Man Units where they seem to be sorted by minutes since there is a bunch of different statistics. I noticed the cummulative effect in +/- so I removed them from the Excel arc and only used the Off, Def and Win% stats. I agree, it is very flawed. The study was more made for fun and shouldn't be taken to seriously.

Gordon has a high offensive rating (higher than Stuckey even) but it's almost completely negated by how his opponent matches his production. To this point, I don't think it's at all crazy to say that Stuckey has been our best player and by a considerable margin. (sorry if that's hard to read... just follow the link. I tried double spacing the text, but it won't let me)
This might point toward Stuckey being a deceptively strong defender too. The old guard is looking bad, but they are also the ones that are about there playing against starters. If you bring them off the bench, the other guys probably struggle and the old guys look great. We have a bunch of talented, but limited/ flawed players. The offensive guys can't play D. The defensive guys can't play O. We have tall guys who like to shoot from deep and we have short guys who like to drive to the hoop and get packed.
So the Pistons have ascended from 30th to 20th in the NBA Power rankings... Looking at the 4-6 record after 10 games we still have some work to stat wise. In the defensive cats, we are 29th in rebounds with 38.1 pergame...Twolves first @ 48.27 22nd in blocks with 4.1 pg, Bulls first with 7.5 pg 20th in steals with 6.8 spg, Grizzlied first with 11.3 turnovers...5th best in holding on to the ball at 13.7 turns pg..Miami # 1 with 13 Offense 26th in scoring at 95.4 pg...giving up 99.8 which is actually the 12 best defensively Assits per game #27 at 18.1 which seems higher than last year but still low. Celtics #1 at 26.8 due to Rondo 23rd in shooting from the floor @ 44.5% -- Hawks # 1 at 49.3% three second in 3 pt shooting at 41.6% behind the Spurs 44.0 --Thanks CV, BG and AD FT shooting 27th overall at a dismal 70.2%. I think this is where we finished last year. The culprits...Big Ben 28.6%, Monroe, 31.3%, Max 50% and Tay 56.5%. Our top three...Bengo at 90.2%, Daye @ 87.5% and Rip at 85.2%
That's some serious mediocrity! Can 3 pointers alone get us into the playoffs?
A look at wins produced by the individual Pistons so far. Only 10 games so probably more noise than message but might be a fun read for someone. Short recap: Big Ben - good, Tiny Tay - bad. Ten Games In: About where I thought we'd be, sort of | Pistons by the Numbers
The summary or individual comments about each player written by brgulker seemed to have been lifted right out of the Piston forum pages......great analysis as it seems like everybody agrees what our faults are with the exception the Piston coaching staff.joe.org

I first used waste cardboard for making art in 1994, in an environmental exhibition called Trophies. This was a protest against deforestation, as over 80% of felled trees are pulped to make paper and cardboard, resulting in the loss of habitat for many animals now becoming endangered and extinct. In Trophies 10 animal heads were wall-mounted on trophy plates with two long tree-saws underneath, in the manner of sporting rifles displayed below real animal heads by so-called 'sportsmen'.
I found cardboard so versatile that I continued to use it for later exhibitions.
In 2001 I constructed a sculptural installation called no access which consisted of 5 bricked-up doorways guarded by large Crusader-type figures over 2 metres tall, made from waste cardboard. In this installation I was using sculpture as a vehicle to demonstrate the enormous scale possible, and the craftsmanship which could be achieved, with waste cardboard.
Waiting Room comes from a later installation in waste cardboard which protested against the Federal Government's treatment of asylum seekers. Waiting 2002 comprised Waiting Room, 40 standing figures inside a chainwire compound topped with barbed wire titled, and Waiting to be Processed, 40 inverted hanging figures. All of the life-sized figures, from adults to babies, had a black card over their eyes, representing the media icon for a person whose identity is not to be revealed. It also saves us from looking into their eyes and allowing them to see our guilt and embarrassment. Many of the figures have a subtle cardboard strip pasted over the mouth area, some with simulated stitches representing the time when detainees stitched their lips together and went on hunger strike in a vain protest against the long wait for their release from custody.
The installation as a whole was intended to give a feeling of the hopelessness of the situation for a group of persecuted people from a different culture, vainly asking for our help, and the treatment that they have received from the government of a more affluent society.

Shorts have been hovering on the periphery of acceptable work and evening wear for a few years now.
But I'm yet to see many people look truly comfortable in them in a semi-formal setting.
There are some notable exceptions - I was at a work event last year with a woman who looked amazing in a tiny pair of sparkly shorts.
But now shorts are popping up on the legs of everyone from celebrities to business people, it might be time to take another look at this summer staple.
If you're going to keep shorts on high rotation once you're back in the office in 2013, there are some key things to keep in mind.
No matter how slim your legs, if you're going to wear shorts to work, they need to be at least approaching knee-length.
Shorts and heels should be inversely related: The shorter your shorts, the flatter your heel should be.
Very high heels and very short shorts should be solely the domain of beauty pageants.
Cuffed shorts tend to look more formal.
Some styles in the shops at the moment are in a lovely silky material that lends itself to being dressed up.
Team with a camisole or silky blouse, a blazer and a low-wedge heel for a look that will work in the office.
If you're going to wear patterned shorts, keep the rest of your outfit very simple.
A pair of floral shorts should be paired with as conservative a top as possible and some plain shoes.
But if you're wearing shorts that are below the knee, you can get away with quite a high pair of stilettos.
This is a very flattering look as shorts that finish at the smallest part of your leg can make your calves look extremely slim. Shorts have been popping up on red carpets all around the world.
Celebrities have proved is that tailored and chic is always a better - and more flattering - look than short and boxy.
Long lines look a lot more elegant.
If you're brave, a short suit can be a great cocktail party outfit.
Team it with lots of jewellery and a cute blouse.
Your jacket need not be the same colour as your shorts.
It's the sort of almost-classic look that is great to wear to events where you want to be dressed up but not completely formal.

1963 Lincoln Continental / Styling: Kelly Framel / Creative Direction: Maury Postal / Makeup: Porsche Cooper / Hair: Francis Anthony Rodriguez / Sierra wears: custom flower crown; earrings by Eddera; diamond moon necklace, stone necklace, and rings by Jessie Lane; metal spike necklace by Biko, cuff by La Petite Princesse; vintage vest and dress from Early Halloween, True Religion jeans
It's a revolution in an ever-changing world. The 1960s can at times be hard to understand, but can also be very intimate and soft. We were independent in a way we had never experienced before and maybe that is because we lost a lot and we loved a lot — and through the love we drove on and made it through…
The 1963 Lincoln Continental (a car often associated with JFK) was like a finely-tailored Italian suit; its elegant simplicity set the tone for a whole generation—they explored a more minimalistic way of living. The '60s weren't a decade of excess, they were a decade of young people finally having a voice in shaping their country.
It is with great honor Lincoln asked us to capture the romance of time through a series of Cinemagraphs with their classic cars so that we may all keep the memory of love going at any speed.

I was thinking about growing a bunch of spearmint which contains menthol naturally, and thyme which contains thymol.
If you were to just throw the plant matter in the top of the hive and let them work away at carrying it out would this not be a very gentle natural way of warding off pests with no harm to the bees? It is relatively cheap and easy (I don't know about thyme, but mint grows like a weed)
I know that in a way this a treatment but heck putting them in a box isn't exactly natural either, and here in canada we have no choice... if you don't treat your bees they die. I am just trying to find a natural way
Has anyone tried anything like this?

The Apollo missions to the Moon. Few things stand out in modern human history that are as momentous. Now, thanks to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO for short, we have new views of three of the Apollo landing sites in unprecedented detail.
The LRO mission has been producing incredible data. We have reported on the images of the Apollo landing sites taken previously and the stunning image of Tycho Crater. We have also talked about LRO's sister mission, LCROSS, that impacted the Moon and led to a discovery of ice on the lunar south pole. We have come to expect a great deal from LRO imagery. The new images that were released on Tuesday continue to astound.
The images show the Apollo 12, 14, and 17 landing sites in amazing detail. The LRO team was able to capture these images without changing the average altitude of the LRO orbit. They simply made LRO's orbit slightly more elliptical and moved the orbit's low point, called the periapsis, to around 21 km and to occur when LRO was on the bright side of the Moon. If you want to understand what this means from the perspective of Orbital Mechanics, you can start digging in at Wikipedia's article on Elliptic Orbits or, if you really want to geek-out and math and physics don't scare you, check out Fundamentals of Astrodynamics by Bate, Mueller, and White.

I've never ordered from them, but almost have a few times. Their shipping on the 1919 is cheap as that's a heavy parts kit.
1919a4.com is probably the best source for info and build instructions. Others here probably have tips as well given a few of us have completed this build. It's really pretty easy.
I'd suggest Blackbear rivets and a heat treated RSP made Sam Alvarez.

Will be playing all last of these few hours. The 2 months till the release date will feel like forever.
If I could only have one wish granted by the dev's it would be to introduce 1v1. FeelMyVVrath and I have been sitting in the FoTG lobby for ages waiting for a third player when I know we probably just rather a crack at each other.
Re: GO GO GO GO GO
I took a break for another game this week. Coming back to it today felt great. Glad February is a short month.
Big ups on the MP. Great fun and a great surprise. Thanks for the beta, and thanks SSM for nudging me out of my gaming comfort zone. It's been refreshing.
Re: GO GO GO GO GO
the matchmaking is terribly slow. There should be lobbies. I don't know why these people persist on matchmaking. Its always dreadful. They don't even give people a ready to play button and there is always the wait for one more person to join which is ridiculous. You would think people would learn by now.

Starting Position: From a kneeling position, bring the right foot forward making sure that the right knee is directly over the right ankle and the right hip is bent to about 90 degrees. Place both hands gently on the right thigh to help maintain a straight, tall spine.
Pull your shoulders blades down and back without arching your back. Engage your abdominal/core muscles) to brace your spine. Keep your pelvis stable. (Do not allow one side to shift higher or lower than the other side.) Lean forward into your right hip while keeping your left knee pressed into the ground. Do not allow your pelvis to tip forward or your back to arch. To increase the stretch to the left hip flexors, squeeze and contract the glute muscles of your left hip.
Hold the stretch position for 30-45 seconds at a time for a total of 2-5 repetitions. Try to deepen the stretch with each repetition. Keep your core braced to prevent losing the stretch. Complete all repetitions on one side before alternating to the other hip.
Exercise Variation: To increase the intensity of the stretch raise the left arm straight in the air and tilt slightly to the right side and you lean forward into the right hip; be sure to alternate sides.Keep the abdominals engaged throughout the entire stretch, this will ensure that the pelvis remains level and will provide the greatest results from the stretch. To reduce any soreness in the knee on the ground, place an Airex pad or a rolled-up stretch mat under the knee.

El Paso County disaster center opens tomorrow
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - El Paso County will centralize help for fire victims beginning tomorrow.
The El Paso County Disaster Assistance Center will open Thursday at 8 am at 1675 Garden of the Gods Road.
According to the county, the center will bring together representatives of major insurance companies, El Paso County Public Health, healthcare providers, the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, utilities providers, the Colorado Department of Local Affairs Office of Emergency Management, grief counselors and local non-profits offering services to residents impacted by the Black Forest Fire.

Hi All,
i just got offered a Nuc of Feral Bees from local beekeeper. He ensures me that I will be fine taken care of them as a "newbie" and that in many ways, there are advantages to go with Feral Bees. He also offered to help with all question that I might have or will have in the future, real nice guys it seems.
I'm somewhat scared that Feral Bees are to aggressive. I want "gentle" bees, don't want to fight them . Are my fears warranted or not? Should I take his advice as a "newbie" or tell him that I probably can't handle Feral Bees.
BTW I do have a 5 year old, so that is why I'm extra sensitive on the question of aggressive bees.
Please Help!!!

The syllabus looks promising. The site says the course is for people with no programming skills to those with prior experience with the language. His past 2 certs (SWSE and SMFE) have had their course videos up on securitytube.net, but it looks like he may be doing something a little different with this cert:
The pricing includes the full course material videos...
I've posed the question on Twitter regardless I really like Vivek's vids, teaching style, etc, so I'm definitely keeping this course on my radar!

There's a guy with a web page selling blocks of sugar candy. Does anybody remember his name or web page. Thanks

There's a guy with a web page selling blocks of sugar candy. Does anybody remember his name or web page. Thanks
I suggest preparing bags of sugar to be placed over the opening in the inner covers.
I started an initial test by setting a 10 pound bag of sugar in a baking dish and pouring two cups of water in to soak into the sugar. I actually cut the paper back, and placed a piece of waxed paper over the opening in the bag and held it tight while I rolled the bag over.
In a second dish I added three cups of water ....
Don't add 3 cups of water to soak a 10 pound bag of sugar, it's too much.
After the bags are dry they can be stored for future use.
There's nothing exceptional about "sugar blocks". Unless one's able to sell them...
go here for sugar bricks www.mdasplitter.com
You did not ask for an endorsement... but I used them last winter and already placed a couple cases of sugar bricks on the hives this year.
With Honey-B-Healthy in the mix, the bees are attracted to sugar bricks better than regular bakery fondant. I see many bees sticking their tongue on the bricks when I place them in the hive.
I use a 2 inch spacer at the top of the hives to feed bags of sugar water during September and eventually place the sugar bricks in the same space for winter. For nucs, I partially cover the hole in the inner cover with the brick. The heat of the cluster keeps the sugar warm and the cluster can form under the brick.
You can add sugar bricks on a warm winter day with minimal disruption.
Good luck and let us know your experience.

Lots of cops on the big screen this weekend. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña in "End of Watch", Karl Urban dispensing futuristic justice as Judge Dredd, hell, there was even a cop in "House at the End of the Street".
It's par for the course. Each year sees the release of 1,387,534 cop movies into the theatre. From buddy cop movies, to mysteries/thrillers, to heist movies, "police officer" is one of the most widely portrayed occupations there is. And why not? There's action and danger inherent in the job. They protect and serve… except when they're "crooked". Every country and every town everywhere has cops of some sort or another. Everyone can relate to those characters.
So who's YOUR favorite? There are a gazillion to choose from. I'll even allow FBI agents to be thrown into the mix (But no spies!! Sorry, James).
You have your comedic cops, like Axel Foley and Frank Drebin. Your action hero cops like John McClane and Martin Riggs. Or perhaps you prefer your cops to be more realistic… your "Based on real cops" cops such as Frank Serpico or Popeye Doyle.
You tell me! Who's YOUR favorite movie cop?

UTSA Faculty Honors Convocation salutes 12 professors
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(May 4, 2006)--Faculty and staff members gathered Wednesday afternoon to salute the achievements of UTSA professors and retirees at the Faculty Honors Convocation in the University Center Retama Auditorium at the 1604 Campus.
UTSA President Ricardo Romo and Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Rosalie Ambrosino hosted the event.
The academic deans awarded 10 faculty members the 2006 President's Distinguished Achievement Awards, with one faculty member also receiving the Chancellor's Council Outstanding Teaching Award. Additionally, Romo announced the two 2005-06 Peter T. Flawn Distinguished Professors winners.

"The faculty members we are recognizing today are leaders who will guide the inventors and discoverers of tomorrow in their search for new ideas to better our world," said Romo. "This is a great afternoon and an exciting time to be at UTSA. The faculty are the heart of a university, and I thank each of you for everything you do."
See a list of the winners and their profiles below.
The President's Distinguished Achievement Awards carry a stipend of $1,000 each and honor individuals who exemplify excellence in teaching, research or other scholarly pursuits, as well as excellence in service to the university.
The President's Distinguished Awards Selection Committee includes Blanche Desjean-Perrotta (chair), College of Education and Human Development; Daniel Hogenauer, College of Engineering; Jose Iovino, College of Sciences; Mark Leung, College of Business; Ken Little, College of Liberal and Fine Arts; Shelley Roff, College of Architecture; and Francine Romero, College of Public Policy.
The Chancellor's Council Outstanding Teaching Award goes to a tenured or tenure-track faculty member and recognizes excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level. The stipend for the award is $5,000 and is made available to UT System institutions as a grant from the Chancellor's Council, composed of individuals who contribute funds to support excellence throughout the UT System.
The Peter T. Flawn Distinguished Professorships are the namesake of the UTSA president from 1973 to 1977. Faculty members awarded the professorships epitomize the best qualities of the UT System and higher education in Texas.

Dmitry Gokhman is an associate professor of applied mathematics in the College of Sciences. He teaches courses ranging from core undergraduate courses such as pre-calculus and calculus, to graduate sequences in algebra, complex variables, and topology, to name a few. In addition to abstract pure mathematics, his expertise encompasses physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and scientific computing.
His range of interests brings a broad and elegant viewpoint to the subjects he teaches to convey the beauty of the material to the students. He is a teacher who inspires learning for the pure joy of it. In addition to teaching his classes, Gokhman supervises the mathematics teaching assistants, tutors and graders.
Gokhman has never received an evaluation for teacher excellence below 4; indeed, his evaluations ranged from 4.7 to 5.0 (on a scale of 1 to 5) -- 11 times in the last four years.
Gokhman's dedication and commitment to creating a positive, relaxed atmosphere in which students can enjoy learning mathematics and its applications to many fields has garnered him the admiration and respect of his colleagues and the deep appreciation of his students.
P. Elizabeth Pate is an associate professor of interdisciplinary learning and teaching with expertise in middle level education. Perhaps what most distinguishes Pate's work is the way she weaves the principles of democratic education and service-learning into her teaching. She creates democratic classrooms in which students make decisions about their learning, actively grapple with problems and create solutions affecting the community.
Pate implements these principles in her courses through service learning projects. In spring 2005, her students addressed environmental issues plaguing our coastal area and presented their findings at a community event. Her class project last fall was an immediate response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
Her commitment to excellence in instruction is evident in her leadership role in updating the middle level teacher preparation program. Under her leadership there has been a 100 percent pass rate on state professional exams for UTSA students graduating with a middle-level teaching certificate.
Students say that Pate's method of teaching empowers them as students, as future teachers and as citizens. Pate is an outstanding teacher who educates both the minds and hearts of her students.
Yiuman Tse joined the faculty of the UTSA Department of Finance in 2002, and has consistently received outstanding ratings from students, including an award for Top Graduate Professor - Electives Curriculum from the MBA Association in his first semester here.
His passion for teaching is clearly infectious. His demanding approach includes extensive requirements of students to stay abreast of current affairs. In addition to his classroom excellence with undergraduate and masters students, Tse has been a driving force in the finance doctoral program.
Since beginning the program in 2005, he has co-authored with doctoral students five published or forthcoming articles in respected journals. The publications, as well as papers presented at national meetings, have undoubtedly contributed significantly to the ability of our students to be placed at respectable institutions.
Tse has chaired four dissertations, including UTSA's first doctoral graduate. Most importantly, his excellence in teaching has not detracted from his continued excellence in both research and service.
Joleen Beltrami came back to school after a number of years in the work force and received a M.S. degree in statistics from UTSA. Since then, she has been a UTSA instructor dedicated to teaching excellence.
She has taught a wide spectrum of courses on statistics, ranging from undergraduate core courses for business and social sciences majors to advanced electives for statistics majors. She received course evaluations running from 4.3 to 5.0 -- on a five-point scale.
She employs a variety of teaching methodologies to motivate students. Her philosophy is to show not just how to compute statistics, but also the capacity to apply these techniques to real-life applications.
Beltrami shows a strong commitment to UTSA students and programs. She volunteered to assist students taking the actuary licensing exams, an activity far beyond her regular duties. In a short time, the dedicated instructor's impact on the undergraduate program and her leadership role in student advising have been remarkable. Her enthusiasm, work ethic and collegiality have made her a role model, not only for students but also for the faculty.
Steven G. Kellman has taught at UTSA since 1976, where he has been a full professor since 1985. From 1995 to 2000 he served as the Ashbel Smith Professor of Comparative Literature.
He has authored several books and many essays, articles, and film and book reviews. He also serves as the co-editor of and contributor to Magill's Literary Annual.
In 2005, his book, "Redemption: The Life of Henry Roth," was published by Norton. This first biography of a significant author has received a great deal of attention and strong praise from national newspapers, magazines and books reviews. Kellman has been invited to speak on Roth at a variety of national venues, including the Texas Book Festival in Austin and the New York Public Library.
In 2005, Kellman received the Arts and Letters Award from the San Antonio Public Library Foundation and was inducted into the Texas Institute of Letters.
Dibyendu Sarkar is an associate professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science. In the six years that Dr. Sarkar has been at UTSA, he has made outstanding contributions to his college and his department through his research grants, his publications and his efforts to bring environmental education and research to UTSA.
Sarkar was instrumental in developing and opening a state-of-the-art analytical environmental geochemistry lab -- the first of its kind in the San Antonio area dedicated to research in environmental quality and protection. He has garnered nearly $2 million in external research funding. His latest proposal funded by the EPA received the only excellent rating and was ranked number one nationally in competition with researchers from across the country.
In 2004, he received the Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the Association of Agricultural Scientists of Indian Origin, the highest honor awarded by this organization. In 2005, he was honored by the Southern Branch of the American Society of Agronomy with their Early Career in Research Award, the first such award received by a UTSA faculty member.
Sarkar's mentoring of graduate students in environmental research has resulted in approximately $1.5 million in grant funding and the publication of more than 110 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and technical abstracts. He is an outstanding researcher who has helped to bring recognition to UTSA as a leader in the field of environmental-quality research.
William McCrary joined the UTSA faculty in 2001. In 2005, he commissioned, produced and directed the world premiere of Seymour Barab's opera, "The Gods of Mischief." Known throughout the music world for his fairy tale operas, Barab agreed to have the UTSA Lyric Theatre, under McCrary's direction, perform the world premiere. The production was a significant national event for UTSA, and it provided an unprecedented learning opportunity for students.
McCrary's work on that production resulted in another major benefit for UTSA. In spring 2005, UTSA received a priceless collection of Metropolitan Opera costumes, scenic backdrops and music scores from the Tobin Foundation for Theatre Arts. McCrary also was responsible for raising thousands of dollars in grant and gift funding to bring Barab's new opera to life.
His relationship with the Opera Guild of San Antonio has been a key factor in his successful grant writing. Because of funding from the guild, UTSA students became involved in opera performances for thousands of San Antonio school children.
Part of the requirements of his many grants is that UTSA Lyric Theatre productions be repeated for a diverse collection of schools. Working with local children provides his students, many of whom will become music teachers, a chance to perform and interact with young people.
Kay Robbins, a professor of computer science, has served at UTSA for 30 years. Most notably, she has chaired more than 40 committees at the department, college and university level. Her most significant service activities provided leadership in three critical areas at a time when UTSA was experiencing tremendous growth.
Robbins' vision of the future of the Internet led to her involvement as chair of the Ad Hoc Technology Committee, appointed in 1990 by President Samuel Kirkpatrick. She was instrumental in writing the strategic plan responsible for the technology we see today at UTSA.
In 1996, she was appointed chair of the Tenure Guidelines Committee. Under Robbins' leadership, the Handbook of Operating Procedures (HOP) guidelines for promotion and tenure were revised. The document still stands today. In 2000, she was appointed chair of the College Implementation Committee for the College of Sciences. The committee was instrumental in establishing separate departments of physics and chemistry.
Robbins' strong commitment to service to UTSA is evident in her acquisition of grants to improve departmental laboratories and provide summer programs for high school teachers, as well as tutors and mentors for outreach programs to high schools. She continues to work tirelessly for the improvement of her college's master's and doctoral programs as chair of the department's curriculum committee.
John M. Giggie teaches two sections of the course, U.S. History: 1865-Present. As part of the core curriculum, his course has had sections with 185 students. He has developed outstanding innovations and student involvement in his core development projects, including group learning components, maximizing visual culture, the study notebook project and community experience integration.
Giggie has made substantial contributions towards the aims and purposes of the core curriculum. His course developed basic intellectual competencies such as reading, writing, speaking, listening and critical thinking. He has enhanced students' skills to analyze and interpret, enabled students to establish broad perspectives and vision to reflect on their goals and values.
Finally, the course helps students increase their knowledge of how social and behavioral scientists discover, describe and explain the behaviors and interactions among individuals, groups, institutions, events and ideas. With his almost perfect teaching score evaluations, Giggie was by far the best candidate for this award.
Timothy Strudell is officially appointed to the Department of Finance, but evenly splits his full-time teaching duties between economics and finance. Since his spring 2003 appointment, he has done outstanding work in a variety of classes for both departments.
In the Department of Economics, he has regularly taught all three of the core curriculum classes as well as Honors 2013, with class sizes ranging from small honors classes up to 280 in his introductory classes.
His IDEA survey scores in fall 2004 placed him in the top 2 percent of all IDEA surveys nationwide. No one in the economics department has scored as high since Strudell has been at UTSA, the College of Business has heard only enthusiastic praise from Strudell's students for his teaching endeavors.
Strudell brings a unique combination of real-world experience, creativity, enthusiasm and wit. His office is often jammed with students engaging with him. He is certainly one of the university's most talented and valuable teachers. His passion for teaching and his ability to engage students in the classroom are tremendous contributions to UTSA.

Here is a story I found today on Yahoo
NBC signs deal to air more live US gymnastics
DALLAS – USA Gymnastics has signed a deal to air its biggest events on NBC and cable partner Universal Sports through 2012.
Wednesday's agreement, combined with domestic and international contracts NBC has with swimming, skating, track and skiing, gives the network the lion's share of the coverage of U.S. teams in five key Olympic sports during a time when the U.S. Olympic Committee is trying to start its own channel.
NBC has televised every Summer Olympics since 1988 and every Winter Olympics since 2002.
USOC officials have heaped praise on NBC for its coverage and support but the relationship hit a snag when the USOC partnered with Comcast to form a new network that is expected to go to air after the Vancouver Olympics.
The Comcast deal came about after negotiations with NBC and Universal broke down.
what I found interesting is that is says skating in this article and I have highlighted that word so does this mean that were are actually going to be seeing all the skating events this season???

I'm happy to say that I pass several Bal-Farts to get to my nearest Outdoor World. We do need to call wal-mart and voice our displeasure. F them too.
It takes a nation of millions to hold us all back!
Many years ago I had a run in with wal mart. I have not been back. I personly thank that the upper managerment in nothing but a bunch of FU#KUPS, and they have nothing that I need. I take my money to stores that needs my busness.
What the funny part of that was "Mayors against illegal guns."
Has bloomwitz been living in a glass jar for the last 50yrs. That is what the NRA and others have been preaching for ever.
Punish the jerks who do illegal things with illegal weapons. Not us legal gun owners who are trying to do everything by the freaking book. Which you have to be a lawyer to understand.
Friggen idiots. I wonder how many armed body guards Bloomwitz travels with.
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
Within one week(two visits to the gun counter) I purchased a box of .357 mags and the counter jockey kid convinced me to buy the other box(his last one) so I did.
I got all the way home and I realized that he sold me a box of .357 mags and a box of .357 SIGs!!!!!!!! Wal mart has a no return policy on ammo.
Second trip, I purchased a box of .223 ammo and ANOTHER employee tells me to buy the last box, so I do. I get home, and guess what??? I just bought a box of .223 Remington and .222 Remington!!!!!!DOH!!!!!!!!!
A conspiracy...
"To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."

Heated political rhetoric is everywhere. It sets us apart from one another and erodes what's left of civil discourse. It grinds the worthy concept of "logic" into dust. Not any more. Not when we fight back with a game I'm calling Logic Shrink.
I'm not selling a thing. You don't need an app, a console, even a board. It's entirely your game. Play a solitary version. Play it during a get-together with your extended family. Play it with kids, especially teens. Bring it to the classroom, assisted living center, or secret Super PAC meeting. It will entertain.
Afterwards, when the lively score-keeping has ended there will be something new in the room. It may be unfamiliar at first. It's a state of being that requires no name calling, no slippery slope. It's logical thinking.
Now just envision the game being played over and over, from living rooms to sports bars, spreading this thing called logic across all so-called divisions. Even if every snarky pundit huffed off the airwaves the game wouldn't have to end. We'd just spread nice thick layers of logic in plenty of other places.

Or even the proper one?
A local seamstress will do the suit at a good price but wants to see the Zam suit with no vest/armour on to be sure she's doing the right thing.
Good photos of the seams etc. We do have the ref cd but if anyone has a picture of their suit with nothing else on top of it, or just one of it lying on the floor, that would be most welcome and super cool :)

This chiller recomends between 110 and 160 gallons per hour of flow. Which pump that is depends a lot on the distance you plan to pump but often (keeping in mind things like head pressure) but often something like a Cobalt Aquatics MJ1200 will do the trick just fine, as would any other similarly sized pump.

Excellent product that exceeded expectations! By ZwickM on 6/9/2015ZwickM would recommend this product to a friendI got the 1/15 chiller for my reef tank about one month ago and have been incredibly happy with it! It is very quiet, compact and has a sturdy design. I keep it in my living room, where my tank is, and don't even notice it's running.
My aquarium has about 55 gallons of water volume and the chiller has so far been able to pull down the temp 10 degrees from the ambient are temperature. It says it's rated for up to 40 gallons but from my experience it can handle more without issue.
Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a chiller capable of handling 60 gallons or less.
Chiller works, extra hookup kit is pretty bad By Jeff on 12/31/2013Jeff would recommend this product to a friendI have the advanced LED 28gal JBJ nano and bought this chiller to keep it cool. The chiller does its job. It lets off a lot of heat, so think twice about putting it in you JBJ stand.
The extra JBJ hookup kit that JBJ sells to hook it up to your aquarium is pretty bad. It doesnt really fit in the back of my particular aquarium and the plastic tubing is kinked.
Very Quiet By Edwardv46 on 5/6/2013Edwardv46 would recommend this product to a friendI used this unit on a Read Sea Max 130d. It works great, it is very quite and runs for 10 or 15 minutes and then shuts off, pretty good for the warm summers in Bakersfield.
Quiet and efficient By Disco on 7/29/2011Disco would recommend this product to a friendThis guy effortlessly cools down our 30gal+sump seahorse system in the AZ summer. It's so quiet that I didn't think it was working at first. The only issue and it's really not that major is that we keep it set at 74 and it deviates +/- 1degree throughout the day. Took 3 minutes to set up. We use a maxijet 600 for it.
Great System By Darvin on 3/22/2011Darvin would recommend this product to a friendI have used this chiller for Four years now..It keeps up with the heat load on my 28 Gallon HQI Nano-Cube.. I had to replace the control From analog to digital..The Analog bord went out about three years into it.. But other then that no complantes at all. Great System.. Verry quite.. The Chiar i sit in to watch Tv is about six inches away and cant hear it come on or run most of time...

Learn more about strategies being used by existing campaigns targeting Caterpillar around the world in order to build your own corporate accountability campaign. The initiatives described below can aid in your own attempt to change corporate policies and educate the public.
- Recent Victories [1]!!
In March, Caterpillar was removed from the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Socially Repsonsible Index. In May, the Friends Fiduciary, a Quaker instituion, divested $900,000 worth of shares in Caterpillar. In June, TIAA-CREF, a major pension fund, removed Caterpillar from its Social Choice Funds portfolio. Continue this momentum by encouraging others to divest from Caterpillar!
- Groups campaigning against Caterpillar and the tools that they are using:
Jewish Voice for Peace is heavily involved in Caterpillar divestment, and JVP representatives speak for the need to divest from companies such as Caterpillar at shareholder meetings. They have a letter to the Caterpillar Board of Directors [2] protesting Caterpillar's actions in the occupied territories and a petition [3] calling for the TIAA-CREF pension fund to divest from companies complicit in the occupation, including Caterpillar, which has contributed to the recent vistory where TIAA-CREF removed Caterpillar from its portfolio. They encourage people who own Caterpillar stock to attend annual shareholder meetings and speak out against this company's crimes.
The U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation also has a petition [4] to the Obama Administration calling for an end to the delivery of D9 bulldozers to the Israeli military, and to investigate Israel's violations of U.S. laws with Caterpillar equipment.
Several universities have either launched or passed resolutions to divest from Caterpillar as well as several other companies: Hampshire College [5], Evergreen State College [6], and Earlham College [7].
- Educate the public about Caterpillar's complicity in Israel's war crimes
You can begin by searching for Caterpillar contracts in your own community. Ask your local municipality, your school, your church or community, what contracts it has with Caterpillar and when they terminate or are up for renewal. Educational methods include letter writing, contacting local municipalities, presentations at local township meetings, involving the media, petitions, demonstrations, and presenting legal challenges with the help of legal counsel.
Here are two fliers that can aid you in this endeavor:
Caterpillar Flier 1 [8]
Caterpillar Flier 2 [9]

The Pictures has nothing to do with the reality. Many very small rooms. Very noisy, because of the lousy window, a loud fridge and very thin walls between each room. you have to put the used toilets-tissues in a bin beside the toilete - bit strange. Price for this centrally located room is good.
Good things:
The convenient position, the low price (compared to average prices in London), the kindness of the staff.
Bad things:
The room was really little larger than the bed. It was actually clean, but everything in the house (including the bathroom, the stairs, etc) gives an impression of wretchedness. They gave us two towels for two people in five days and never changed them. It was a little too noisy, but that depends also on the behaviour of other guests.
High quality-price ratio for the room.
Very good location, 1 min for the tube, trains and transfer bus to Stansted airport (Liverpool street station), close to pubs and supermarket.
No bad smells but high noise due to a bad insonorization.
Common areas cleaned daily but very small trash bin in the toilet for the trash :-O
Room small but clean, perfect for a long weekend.
Staff very polite and efficient, avaiable 24/7
Free wifi.
Small but fine room. Perfect for a short stay for students for example. Good location, 2 min. walk to Liverpool Street Station and quite at night. Decent bathroom. The stairs are misleading dirty, but upstairs its fine. All in all, good choice for a cheap stay in a good location.
Even though the bedroom is very small, smaller than what we had thought, it's a pretty nice room with a little table, a small fridge, a wardrobe, a chair and an iron.
Best thing about it was its location since its very near Liverpool Street Station and in a very lively neighbourhood surrounded by pubs, bars and supermarkets.Worst thing about it was that there wasn't an elevator and since it's on the second or third floor it was pretty difficult to arrive there with all the luggage.
It might not look very glamurous fr toom the outside but there's always someone willing to help and we met a south american woman, who I think worked as a cleaner, that was very nice and helped my friend and I by translating some things that we weren't very sure of what to say in English.
We didn't meet Marcos until he came up one day to show the place to some other guests but I have no complaints about the bedroom or our host. It's not the most fashionable of places but you get what you pay for. We would rent it again if we were to return to London.
Great room and a great location. Lots of bars and restaurants around and in the middle of the centre. You shouldn't expect a very luxurious room. It's just a good room, especially compared to what you pay for it.
I also stayed in another room owned by Marco. Something was wrong with the room, so instead of a new room, we got an entire cottage to ourselves. Marcos is a very friendly and helpful person. So, I will definitely recommend his rooms.
Nice room with own fridge. Daily cleaning. Bathroom sharing was sometimes a bit stressful. But I would book again.
Good location, minutes walk to the station. Really small room but comfortable bed, LCD TV, bar fridge and cupboard. Fully equipped kitchen, one bathroom between all guests (there was about 5 other double rooms on this floor). There's about three flights of narrow stairs to get up to the room, which is important if you've got heavy luggage (like we did). One criticism was that Marcos' number that he asked us to call him on did not work when we tried to call him, luckily we had internet connection and he saw a message we sent through Wimdu and he met us there, that was only by chance though, we could've been waiting for hours. Overall though, good value and convenient spot to explore London.

What do you guys think about the plywood thickness I'm seeing 1/4 '' and 3/8'' and 1/2'' I'd rather use the thicker to prevent warping if it doesn't change any clearance inside for for the bees.

After seeing Mikes inner covers I made all of my nuc inner covers the same way. Yesterday I put pollen patties on all my hives and these inner cover makes it too easy. Pull cover, remove the block of 2"insulation, crack inner cover, smoke to get bees down, pollen patties on. Rinse and repeat.
Now I wait a few weeks before reversing production hives. Fingers crossed.
