Donald Williams provided a glimpse of what was yet to come in the 1993 season finale against Duke.
The top-ranked Tar Heels had already clinched the ACC regular season title, but they emphatically breezed into the ACC Tournament with an 83-69 win over the sixth-ranked Blue Devils at the Smith Center.
Duke had claimed the first meeting of the season, winning 81-67 at Cameron Indoor Stadium:
That had been the second of two straight Carolina losses, with the first a 26-point shellacking at Wake Forest. But the upperclassman-laden Tar Heels--featuring seniors George Lynch and Henrik Rödl plus a stalwart junior class that included Eric Montross, Derrick Phelps, Brian Reese and Pat Sullivan--surged at the end of the year, and had won eight in a row going into the regular season finale. They were doing it in dominant fashion, with the eight wins coming by a stunning average of 20.1 points per game.
Those routs had pushed Carolina to the top spot in the national polls for the first time since December of 1987 (this qualified as a long time during the Dean Smith era), and numerous fans showed up with posters of the new Sports Illustrated cover featuring Brian Reese and the No. 1 ranking (the SI cover story is available here).
Carolina had avenged the earlier loss to the Deacons with an 18-point blowout on March 3, and then turned their attention to Duke. The March 7 battle was supposed to be a showcase for Lynch, who played his final home game and finished with a double-double (12 points and 11 rebounds). Montross was also a standout, as he scored ten straight points at the end of the first half and beginning of the second as he spurred the Tar Heels to a 56-31 lead.
But it was Williams who showed a glimmer of what would continue for most of the month of March and April, as the sophomore guard pumped through a career-high 27 points. The Garner native nailed five three-pointers, just as he would in the national semifinal victory over Kansas and the national championship victory over Michigan on his way to being named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.
Quietly, point guard Phelps also played a major role. His defense limited Bobby Hurley--who had been the engine of the back-to-back national championships for the Blue Devils--to just six points on 2-for-12 shooting, and Phelps himself added a stat sheet-stuffing eight points, nine rebounds and seven assists.
For the second straight year, Carolina fans stormed the court after the win over the Blue Devils (yes, it happened several times prior to 2014). All of this video of the entire game is worth watching, but especially noteworthy is the 1:34 mark, which features a great interview between former NC State coach Jim Valvano--who did the game for ABC, his final game broadcast--and Montross, Williams and Lynch.
Adam Lucas is the editor of CAROLINA.

Forrest blade for miter?
Hi to all, I have tried to sort this out thru past threads but I'm having a hard time picking a blade for my 12'' craftsman miter.Last summer I cut up about 1000sq ft of lp siding for a garage with it and the blade is about done.I was thinking about a freud 80 tooth then I read about the forrest blades.I plan on siding some of my house this summer and am trying to justify the price of the forrest to myself.$140 for a chopmaster II, but it will probably be the only one I will ever have buy.:thumbup: Thanks in advance for input
I've never used a good quality blade when doing siding. In fact i install my blades backwards when cutting siding and never had a problem.
the lp siding is a wood composite well you know sawdust and glue:yes: and I was hoping to use the same blade for interior trim too.
ditto on what Jason said. I have a chopmaster II that I use just for trim. For anything else, I buy half way decent box store blades when they're on sale. I wouldn't waste the Forrest blade on anything but trim. You don't need that fine of a cut on siding.
Mike Hawkins:)
Yep....you save those worn out blades for doing stuff like vinyl....
As for blades....I've had good luck with Ryobi....and when Costco has a sale....you can sometimes get a 2 blade set...one combo and one 60 tooth....
The Freud's are good...so is Festo....
Thats a good point, I took jason34 reply wrong I thought he meant he never bought a good blade an d cut aluminum with the blade backwards
Nah i was refering to cutting vinyl. My bad. At work we have a 10" 80t irwin marples which i like. Nice smooth cuts with no chips and whatnot. I was wanting to get the 100t for my 12" muted saw but i can't afford $70. Will be going to my local harbor freight and getting a 96t for $30. Only has one review but its a good one. I had their 80t 10" for my old muted saw and i couldn't complain about that one so ill give this one a try.
I refrained from answering until I got more info. While most of what the others say is correct, I have found the following to be true.
1. A poorly balanced or made 12 inch miter saw blade wobbles like heck, which often results in a really crappy cut. They make stabilizers to help with this, but if the blade is a POS its a POS.
2. Just to pick a blade at random, you will pay three times the price of a freud blade for a forrest, so it really comes down to how many decent cuts you get out of the blade until it needs sharpening.
I would say without a doubt that if you are a pro, that uses his saw every other day or so to make a living, definitely buy a Forrest, but if you are a once in a while user, a Freud will do fine.
One thing that is very telling to me, is that Forrest sharpens and tunes blades other than their own, and when you get them back, they cut better than when they were new.
Correct me if im wrong but aren't stabilizers only for 12"+ blades to help prevent the blade from flexing when cutting bevels and miters?
Well it also depends on how hard the blade is cutting. I have a cheap old blade on my saw I got with my harbor freight saw and it doesnt show any signs of bending away from the stock when cutting. You can tell when its doing that by looking at the cut itself. If you see actual saw marks on the cut where it looks like the blade was bumping out as you made the cut then either you are not letting the blade do the work, blade is warped, or blade is just junk.
Forrest blades
Yes I bought this $ 140.00 blade and yes it cuts nice and smooth.
I only use it on my cross cut when I'm making a special project. I like to make the old fashion School Clock using Oak. the cuts must not show any rough edges of course. I never use it for any thing else.
Also they request that you return their blade back to them to sharpen and balance, the blade will be good as new, the cost I don't know. I guess you would get what you pay for.
$140.00 dolars you don't want some garage cutter doing this blade. Although
a few are very good,
I did know an old man who was the best around to my knowledge. worked from his garage but was in business for 50 years He had the top of the line equipment and some he invented too. Started as a young man around 1922 after WWI He was gassed and could not work. He died years ago of course. late 60's
Deck Hand
i wouldnt invest in a $140 blade for a $200 saw, if you were using a $700 saw yes.. the fact its for siding hell no.. just use the stock blade on it or buy a freud avanti blade
only put the blade on backwards for cutting vinyl siding and soffit
Thanks, I think I will get a freud off fee bay and I bet it will a great deal better than the stocker that came with it.
you might want to check with Peachtree Woodworks. They run some pretty good sales. You can get on their email list and they will send you an email about once every week or week and a half about some sale items. The one time they had brand name saw blades on sale, they were 70-90% off.

Obama not allowed on Facebook – sent to naughty step?
According to the good folks over at the Washington Post, Obama and his team have been moving in to the White House in the past couple of days and have been met by some technological set-backs…
Whilst things aren't as bad as they were for Team Bush back in 2001 – if you remember back that far, you will recall that the outgoing Clinton team removed most of the 'W' keys from many of the keyboards – things are still pretty challenging for Team Obama.
According to the Post: "One White House official, who arrived breathless yesterday after being held up at the exterior gate, found he had no computer or telephone number. Recently called back from overseas duty, he ended up using his foreign cellphone.
"Another White House official whose transition cellphone was disconnected left a message temporarily referring callers to his wife's phone. Several people tried to route their e-mails through personal accounts."
All this will come as quite a shock to the Obama team, whose campaign has powered by Social Media. No more access to Facebook from the office, no more instant messaging… One would hope that they could sort this out pretty quickly, but the fact that it's been an issue since 2001 doesn't bode well. The Post continued:
"David Almacy, who became President George W. Bush's Internet director in 2005, recalled having a week-long delay between his arrival at the White House and getting set up with a computer and a BlackBerry."
Let's hope Obama gets his Facebook access back pretty soon, or I can see a few heads rolling up in Washington…

You've just become one of the 16 fellows on this year's Clore Social Leadership Programme for third sector leaders. Why did you want to do this?
I'm already a social leader and probably always have been: I was head boy at school, and president of the student union at college. My upbringing, my beliefs and my values have always defined my role in wanting to serve the community from a strategic position and I think third sector social leaders need to be respected as collaborative leaders and join the strategic, decision-making table.
What does your day job involve?
The council of mosques has been providing services for the Muslim community in Bolton for more than 14 years. It aims to unite the Muslim community and increase the opportunities for Muslims to participate in wider society. I manage the organisation, which has 13 staff and 50 volunteers. My job involves all the partnership working, handling relationships, membership and funding in these austere times.
What do you hope to get from the Clore programme?
I'm looking forward to a challenging process of personal development, to improve my confidence and reach and help me reaffirm my vision of supporting and developing others. The third sector tends to think about the here and now and hasn't really invested enough in the future of its leaders.
What are your hopes for social leadership in the next few years?
I want the third sector to work together, to stand up and be counted. We need a stronger, visible leadership of the sector in this time of upheaval and we need to remind decision-makers of a fundamental set of core values that we all share. It's really important to remind people of the need to retain an integrated society.
And your fears?
I fear that third sector organisations might become focused on their own survival and start to turn on one another; and I fear that with all these social enterprise initiatives, we are going to commercialise the third sector – and we don't really know what that means for the sector.
The programme looks for leaders with courage, passion and focus, how have you demonstrated these qualities in your career?
I believe it's important – and courageous – for people from very visible and distinct faith communities to become involved with the whole voluntary sector at a strategic leadership level. As a youth worker and a teacher, I've had to deal with challenging situations in challenging areas. At board level, I've had to articulate views in situations where I've been not only the youngest on the board but often the only black and ethnic minority person. I've had to challenge the status quo a lot.
What's your leadership style?
It's a focus on servant leadership, not in a subservient sense, but by creating an environment where supporting others is a leadership trait.

Anyone happen to know if the engine wiring harness for a CVT equipped car is the same as for a manual transmission car?
And can I just swap the ECU, cluster, and key from a manual trans car? This is for a swap into an older chassis car.
Thanks for any info.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|My last bill for a "bottom job" ,- pressure wash and paint (trindad 75) for my 41' ketch was $1,200 and I stretch this with my own cleaning to once every three or even four years. Be cautious with the DIY sanding of the bottom. If you sand through the barrier coat, you can trade an impervious hull for a crop of blisters! Growth on the fiberglass hull only slows it down when it's present. There's no harm in cleaning ans scraping off the growth while in the water to save some money. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
The marina that I am currently docked at does not provide a haul out service. The few marinas that actually can haul the boat out, don't offer a spot in a boat yard to do maintenance.
I have found many websites for marinas on this lake that offer all the services I need, but when you call them... They will refer you to someone else or some other marina.
The only place I have found on Lake Travis TX that said they can do it so far is:
Lake Travis boat repair, boat rental, boat slips, Jonestown, Austin, Easy Street Marina, 512-267-4289
Through them it would be 2 grand or a little over 2 grand once it's all said and done.
If anyone around Austin Lake Travis area knows of a haul out service that offers an area to put the boat on stands please let me know.
|I agree with nick and hate to pay for what I can do myself.
Doing a bottom job is time consuming, but not very hard. I did 30' boat in 5 days. I removed all of the bottom paint down to the barrier coat and patched the damaged parts of the barrier coat. I spent a little less than $1K. It also allowed me to closely inspect my thru hulls and rudder up close. It's like working on your own car, you get an up close look at your vehicle and are intimately familier with it. Plus, you will take the time to do it right while the yard wants to get as many boats done in as little time as possible.
Glass bubblers
bottom paint
Not having a good bottom paint will allow all kinds of stuff to grow on your bottom and will really slow you down. If you aren't racing or care about how fast you go then don't worry about it. However it will increase your fuel costs if you motor very far.
If you get a bottom job, whether or not you do it yourself make sure the paint is designed for fresh water if that's where you moor it. I didn't do that for my last job and was more concerned with the color of the paint and now it seems that I have to get out and push when I go sailing. Boats that I passed easily with good paint now pass me. Stuff grows over night and really drags me down and I can't wait until I get it off and good paint on this Spring.
As far as being hazardous related to scrubbing the bottom in the water, don't swallow it and shower when you get out of the water!
$2000 sounds a bit high to me. Get other quotes and make sure what paint as well as how many coats they are quoting. Two is a minimum for most paints.
If sailing performance is important you should paint the bottom. But it's not a complicated job and easy to do yourself. The paint is expensive but total cost with rollers, trays, and cleaning products should be about $300 or so for a boat the size of yours. In addition there is the haulout charge and powerwash which most marinas have. So you should be able to save well over $1000 doing the job yourself.
It is also a good time to inspect the through hulls, rudder bearings, cutlass and prop.
Bottom Job
I bought an Ericson 29 in August of 2009, and I am in the process of getting it ready for the summer season. This boat is sitting in a fresh water lake.
What happens if you do not get your bottom painted?
I realize that it will allow algae to easy grow on the bottom and reduce speed and performance, but is that all that will happen?
When I first bought the boat I dove in the water and used a soft brush to remove all of the algae from the bottom. When I was doing this I noticed that some of the bottom paint was coming off in the water. I know that the paint used on the bottom is very toxic. Is it dangerous (due to the toxic paint) to remove algae this way?
I have received quotes from boat yards around Lake Travis in the neighborhood of $2 grand for a bottom job. Does this price sound reasonable for an Ericson 29 applying 2 coats?

Water pH and herbicides
The importance of water pH on herbicide performance is again being questioned, primarily due to the marketing of additives designed to acidify water. The interest in carrier pH is partially due to studies with glyphosate (Roundup) that have shown reduced activity when hard water is used as the carrier. The decline in activity is due to the binding of glyphosate with calcium ions present in hard water, which inactivates the herbicide. Lowering the pH of the water decreases calcium availability, and improves glyphosate performance. However, the negative effect of calcium on glyphosate activity can be overcome more effectively by adding ammonium sulfate to the spray tank than by lowering the pH of the water. This is the recommended strategy for dealing with water quality problems when applying Roundup.
A second reason promoted for reducing water pH is to prevent alkaline hydrolysis of herbicides. This is not a concern at the pH of groundwater found in Iowa (typically between 6.5 and 8.0). On the other hand, certain herbicides are prone to acid hydrolysis (specifically the sulfonylureas Classic, Accent, and Beacon). Reducing the pH of the carrier below 6.0 can greatly shorten its half-life and diminish herbicide effectiveness.
In summary, water pH is not an issue for herbicide application. Select herbicide additives based on herbicide label recommendations.

It is very hard to capture it, on still shot - impossible. You got to have a panning camera shot with light homogenous colored background so you are able to see that the bands are actually not part of the picture, but onscreen defect. And even then most capturing devices will not be good enough to give the viewer opportunity to notice DSE.
PS. Can you give links to SONY/Samsung threads with discussion about "crest effect"?

Beyonce's Super Bowl Halftime Show Called Raunchier Than 2012 Offering from Madonna
Was Beyonce's Super Bowl Halftime Show too raunchy?
Some have commented that it was worse than the 2012 Super Bowl Halftime Show from Madonna.
If you need a reminder of Beyonce Knowles dance moves on the Super Bowl stage - catch the video below.
The singer and dancer stripped down to a leather outfit that covered the bare minimum and was criticized for her hair-tossing, legs-spreading performance that did NOT include any wardrobe malfunction.
NBC's Today Show cites this comment as an example of some of the complaints about Beyonce's outfit and dance routine.
One person complained on NBC, "The only thing that was missing was a brass pole and a bouncer that threw out the person who touched her when she was gyrating on the edge of the stage."
Another added, "I would love a Destiny's Child reunion, but felt Beyonce was over the top trampy. I was embarrassed to watch it with my 9 year old son."
Beyonce Knowles was joined by her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams at her Superbowl halftime show.
The 31-year-old singer opened her set at New Orleans' Mercedes-Benz Superdome - with 'Crazy in Love' and 'Til the End of Time' before launching into 'Baby Boy'.
The track featured holograms of the star and her dancers performing the track - and midway through Beyonce and her Destiny's Child bandmates rose up from the ground to sing 'Bootylicious' and 'Independent Women' in their first live performance together since 2007.
The pair then left the stage, leaving Beyonce and an ever-growing army of dancers to perform 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)', for which the crowd had been given light-up rings which flashed throughout the song.
The set ended with a solo rendition of 'Halo' and the criticism followed.
Rachel Campos-Duffy writes:
"As soon as I saw pelvic thrusts and legs wide open to the camera, I debated internally about whether to change the channel or use it as a teachable moment. I opted for the latter, and prayed I made the right choice. Interestingly, I noticed all the kids had quizzical expressions on their faces as if to say, 'What is she doing?'"
She has more criticism here.
Was Beyonce Knowles 'too slutty' for the Super Bowl as some have suggested?
Watch below.
Madonna's show is here for comparison.

David Frost Verdict Delivered Today
by Paul on 11/28/08 at 12:01 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
In what may have been the most poignant and dramatic moment in the sexual exploitation trial of David Frost, defence attorney Marie Henein aggressively and sarcastically attacked the credibility of key witness Kristy Boyer.
"We know there were threesomes with Mr. Frost in Deseronto," Henein questioned in cross examination, "Because you say so?"
But a shaking and clearly upset Boyer maintained her composure, stared at Henein and whispered cryptically: "Because I know so."
When everything else is stripped away, this is the essence of the case against Frost, the former hockey coach, who faces four charges of sexual exploitation involving teenaged hockey players.
The verdict in this case will be delivered today by Justice Geoffrey Griffin in a Napanee courtroom.
update 12:49pm, Frost found not guilty on four counts.
added 12:53pm, from Sportsnet,
Notorious former agent and coach David Frost was found not guilty on four charges of sexual exploitation involving minors in a Napanee, ON, courtroom on Friday.
In his ruling, Judge Geoff Griffin stated that the Crown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the alleged offences occurred.
added 3:35pm, Watch a CBC video on the ruling below…

TEHRAN, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Iran has vowed to counter any cyber attacks on its nuclear facilities, Tehran Times daily reported on Thursday.
An unnamed official at Cyber Command of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces Headquarters said that the Islamic republic will give a strong response to any possible cyber attacks on the country's nuclear facilities, Tehran Times said.
"They should be aware that Iran will give a proper response to any act of defiance," the official was quoted as saying in response to reports about possible cyber attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that two of Iran's uranium-enrichment plants were struck by a cyber attack earlier this week that shut down computers.
The virus closed down the automation network at Iran's Natanz and Fordow facilities, said the report.
In June, Washington Post reported that the United States and Israel had jointly developed a computer virus known as "flame" targeting Iran's nuclear ability.
U.S. officials said the virus secretly mapped and monitored Iran's computer networks, sending back a steady stream of intelligence to prepare for a cyber warfare, according to the report.
In May, Iran's media reported that Iranian cyber experts detected and contained a complicated Israeli spy virus known as " flame" that had targeted Iran's oil industry.
Over the past few years, Iran has been the target of numerous cyber attacks aimed to disrupt the country's nuclear systems.
According to a statement Xinhua obtained Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned that his country is "committed to doing everything it can in order to stop Iran from going nuclear."
In an address to graduates of the army's National Security College on Wednesday, Barak said he is "fully aware of the difficulties and complexities involved in preventing Iran from attaining nuclear weapons."
Iranian officials contend that their program has only peaceful and medical goals.
The remarks by the Israeli leader came on the heels of the recent statement by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that 11, 000 centrifuges are currently operational in Iran's uranium enrichment facilities.
According to the earlier report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the number of operating centrifuges of Iran reached 10,000 in May.
Earlier this year, Iran announced that it would start using new generation of domestically made centrifuges that enrich uranium at faster pace, according to semi-official Mehr news agency.
In the meantime, Iranian military power is gradually gaining considerable progress as the Islamic republic has launched a number of projects in the military sector over the recent years.
Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said Wednesday that the country would soon launch the production line of two domestically-manufactured military systems, Press TV reported.
"The production lines of high-precision missiles and armed flying boats (seaplanes) will be launched soon," Vahidi was quoted as saying without providing further details.
According to earlier media release based on June 29 Pentagon report to the U.S. Congress, "Iran has boosted the lethality and effectiveness of existing systems by improving accuracy and developing new submunition payloads" that extend the destructive power over a wider area than a solid warhead.
The improvements are in tandem with regular ballistic-missile training that "continues throughout the country" and the addition of "new ships and submarines," according to July 10 Bloomberg report.
The United States and its ally Israel have not ruled out the possibility of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities over the country's disputed nuclear program.
Iran calls for recognition of its nuclear "rights" by P5+1: spokesman
TEHRAN, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said Tuesday that its nuclear "rights" should be recognized by five permanent members of UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1).
Making the remarks in his weekly press briefing, Ramin Mehmanparast said that observing the nuclear rights of the Islamic republic by the P5+1 and removing the concerns of the P5+1 by Iran will be the best state for the result of the talks between both sides. Full story
Iran in full control of Hormuz Strait: IRGC navy commander
TEHRAN, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Commander of the navy of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) reiterated Saturday the strategic Strait of Hormuz is in full control of Iranian military forces.
"Iran fully controls the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.. . If they (the United States and Israel) take any hostile action against Iran, they will have to pay greatly for it," Ali Fadavi was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying. Full story

Russia Stocks Climb Most in Week as Oil Gains on Cyprus
Russian equities climbed the most in two weeks as Cyprus agreed on an international bailout, boosting crude oil, the country's main export earner.
The Micex Index (INDEXCF) gained as much as 1.2 percent, the most since March 11, and traded 0.7 percent up at 1,450.82 by 2:37 p.m. in Moscow. OAO Sberbank, the nation's largest lender, added 1.3 percent, while VTB Group increased 0.8 percent, snapping two days of declines. The dollar-denominated RTS Index (RTSI$) jumped 1.1 percent to 1,487.24.
Cyprus agreed to the outlines of an aid package, paving the way for 10 billion euros ($13 billion) of emergency loans to stave off the threat of default. Crude traded up 0.5 percent at $94.16 per barrel in New York. Oil and gas contribute about 50 percent of Russia's state revenue. OAO Rosneft, Russia's largest oil producer, added 2.1 percent.
"The Cyprus situation has started to get resolved," Victor Markov, an analyst at Kapital Asset Management LLC, said by phone from Moscow. "There was a lot of uncertainty regarding the future of banks, now uncertainty is gone. Oil is trading at high levels, this is positive for Russia."
Russian lenders and companies had about $31 billion placed in Cypriot banks or their own units at the end of 2012, according to a March 13 report from Moody's. Bank loans to Cypriot companies of Russian origin created at least $30 billion in further exposure, the ratings company said.
T+2 Settlement
The Micex retreated 3.6 percent last week as Cyprus -- Russia's biggest direct investor because of a dual tax-avoidance treaty -- proposed a levy on savings accounts that was later rejected by lawmakers. The Bloomberg Russia-US Equity Index (RUS14BN) of the most-traded Russian stocks listed in the U.S. fell 2.6 percent last week. The Russian Depositary Index of companies rallied 1.2 percent today, as OAO Gazprom and Sberbank both climbed 1.9 percent.
"The market underperformed last week against developed and emerging markets because it became clear that larger depositors will need to take a bigger hit," Peter Szopo, head of research at Alfa Bank in Moscow, said by e-mail. "For the Russian economy overall, the event however is not such a disaster and at the same time Eurozone risks will be receding for a while, supporting more risky assets like emerging market equities."
The Moscow Exchange, which is modernizing to lure more foreign investors, debuted two-day, or T+2, settlement for sovereign debt and 15 of the more than 1,000 equities today, bringing it into line with markets such as the U.S. and Brazil. The entire exchange will shift to T+2 by Jan. 1 next year, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Andrey Shemetov said by e-mail on March 22. The bourse shares added 0.9 percent to 52.03 rubles, the first advance in three days.
Dual Listings
Russian companies from Gazprom to OAO Mobile TeleSystems also list stock in London and New York as foreigners are deterred by rules requiring Moscow trading accounts to be set up through local custodians. While Euroclear Bank SA, Europe's largest settlement agency, started working with Russian government bonds last month, stocks won't be accessible on the bank's international platform until July 2014.
The RTS Volatility Index, which measures expected swings in the index futures, tumbled 3.4 percent today to 20.57.
The Micex trades at about 5.4 times estimated earnings and has lost 1.6 percent this year. That compares with a multiple of 10.5 times for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which dropped 2.8 percent over the same period.

Did you see the Wall Street Journal article by Karen Richardson on Monday about how stocks in pet-related companies seem to survive tough markets? The article made some points I thought you'd be interested in reading (note that the link is to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette that syndicated the WSJ article, instead of the actual article in the WSJ, which is subscription-only):
I promised you yesterday that I would tell you about how I adopted Lily just so you get the idea of how it works.
John, Ellie, Erin and I headed down to the Animal Protective League on Saturday afternoon. There were so many extra cats to adopt, their portable cages lined the hallway by the front desk. We wandered from cage to cage to cage examining the cats while Ellie exclaimed "Kitty!" every time. Pretty well all the cats looked content and relaxed - it must have been snooze time.
Last week I talked about my visit to the Animal Protective League here in Cleveland and mentioned my family was going to adopt a cat.
Well, we went down on Saturday afternoon and adopted Lily (her name was Carrie but since she was a stray, we figured it was just a placeholder until we could think of her real name).

text: Welcome from one of the many hand quilters here on the board. As everyone else has mentioned, all of the parts of quilting take practice. If you have a flat surface that you are using your mat and rotary cutter, you can also try a couple of spring clamps to help hold the ruler in place. Also helps to have a ruler with a lip on the one end to keep is straight on the mat. Another tip is to put clear rubber or sandpaper (I like/use rubber) dots on the 4 corners of the ruler. Gives some resistance while it's on the fabric. One of the reasons I really enjoy quilting is that I really enjoy sewing on my machine but also like to do hand work - just about any kind. With machine piecing and hand quilting I get the best of both worlds. Do you have a LQS near you for classes or just to ask some questions? Does anyone in your family or friends quilt that they could give you some hints/clues? We're all here to help but sometimes seeing something 'up close & personal' makes it 'click' better/quicker.

Two Rotorua sisters have been jailed for two years for the "persistent and ugly" blackmail of a married man one of them had a sexual encounter with.
Amanda Waitangi Sale, 21, and Pisila Martin, 31, were sentenced in the Rotorua District Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to two counts each of blackmail.
They each received about $2000 from the victim, who was threatened with violence and exposure.
Lawyers for the sisters, who had argued for home detention, immediately lodged an appeal against the sentence. In the High Court yesterday both women were granted bail pending the outcome of the appeal.
Their bail conditions include not to associate with the victim or go to his place of business.
During sentencing, Judge Phil Gittos said the women went to the middle-aged man's Rotorua business on February 14. Sale flirted with him and they later had a sexual liaison. Sale told him she was only 17 and made him take her to an ATM, where he withdrew $700 then a further $1000.
On February 20 Martin called the man and said she and her Mongrel Mob associates could "sort you out". Judge Gittos said the women each had three young children whose lives would be disrupted if their mothers went to prison.
However, he said he had to "draw a firm line in the sand".
"[We need to] make it clear to you and others that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated by society."
The women were also ordered to pay $2000 reparation each.

whanting to build t bucket with 17 yr old son dont have any exp with this if any one can give addvise or if any one knows where to get a body and plans on abudget please let me know thanks rick
T Bucket
Go to: www.Tperformance.com evrything for T buckets.......... :thumbup:PS where in Georgia are you located?
location toccoa ga.
its toccoa ga. its about 100 mile north east of atlata ga
thanks for the info
T Bucket
Total Performance has everything you need or want, of course, there are some things you can get by cheaper using recycled parts,(all depends on your wants, and budget), but they have plans, bodys, on and on, I have dealt with them in the past, quality service.............Good Luck :thumbup:
appreciate the help keep on rodding.
For some good reading on "how to's" look at NTBA .... National T Bucket Alliance. They cover everything you could possibly think of for T buckets.
Go here Waay more than I am going to type over..use a 0.120 wall 2x4 box tubing and it will be plenty strong..Rather that mess with a front end get one of the front end kits from TCI or Speeway or whoever else you may like..Avoid chrome and billet and it will save a whole bunch of your cash..
Those things are lite so any good running motor will make one fly..
Good Luck
Several people have built and are building T buckets on this site. Check out the Project Journals and scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "To view a list of all Hotrodders Project Journals, click here." link. This will give you all the journals that have been posted. Some have a few entries and some have complete builds. There is no search function on these pages so you will have to check them all out to find T bucket journals. As well you should check out the National T Bucket Alliance web site and join them. Here is a link to there tech pages where you will find a lot of info you might want to know.
Here are some links to some of the T bucket journals:
And here is another build:
Good to hear you will be building this with your son. Good luck with your project.

Some contend the TBucket is a starter car but it is actually more difficult for a beginner with limited knowledge and skills to build and end up with a decent car than a Model A, 32 or later Ford V8 or a Camaro, or pickup truck.
To build such a simple car requires a good eye to keep proportions correctly balanced and patience to do all the mockup work each step along the way to insure a good product rolls out the garage door two or three years down the road.
For best results buy a body frame package from a single manufacturer in as complete or simple a form as your wallet dictates. Spirit Motors, Total Performance, Speedway Motord and others have these options available.
If you want to scratch build the car, use 2 X 3 X.120 or .180 wall steel rectangular tubing (2 X 4 tubing is cool too if you're using a big heavy torquey engine) available from your lcoal metal yard in 20 foot joints.
Buy the body of your choice including the turtle deck or pickup bed if you choose the 23-25 style.
Then mockup your chassis using 2 X 4 wood rails. This will give you a visual on where your body/bed/deck will be or needs to be and allow you a simpler mockup than using your steel and cutting, welding, cutting, rewelding, etc.
I could say more but I guess you'll have to wait for the book.
Great info guys :thumbup:
i think i like this one, mmm blower :drool:

Steamboat Springs City planners have drafted an ordinance that would make it harder for chain stores such as Gap or Starbucks from setting up shop in downtown Steamboat Springs.
The ordinance stresses a need to preserve a small-town atmosphere in Old Town.
"The Historic Downtown Commercial Districts are a special and unique asset within the city which could be impacted by the presence of formula establishments that are out of harmony with the downtown districts and which do not contribute to the small town atmosphere," the ordinance reads.
Senior Planner Jonathan Spence said work on the ordinance began more than a year ago at the request of some members of the Steamboat Springs City Council and the Steamboat Springs Planning Commission.
"We looked at a number of other communities that have formula regulations in place, and tried to draft a definition that is appropriate for here," Spence said.
Planning staff reviewed formula business regulations in municipalities including Sausalito, Calif., Port Townsend, Wash., and Bristol, R.I., said Spence, adding municipalities with such regulations are hard to find.
"They are mostly in smaller towns that have a very high tourist volume or are perhaps located near other larger towns," he said.
Steamboat's ordinance would require formula businesses to meet the standards of a conditional use review, a more stringent approval process than is typically required.
The Planning Commission will review the ordinance at 6 p.m. today at Centennial Hall. The meeting is open to the public.
The ordinance defines a formula business as "a type of retail sales activity or retail sales establishment, including restaurant which, along with 10 or more other retail sales establishments, maintains two or more of the following features: a standardized array of merchandise, a standardized façade, a standardized decor and color scheme, a uniform apparel, standardized signage, a trademark or service mark."
Spence said Steamboat's relatively small population is not the ideal market for most formula businesses.
"One of the peculiarities about Steamboat is that we don't really have a lot of that formula stuff - we don't have a Gap," Spence said. "You really need a stronger population base. That's what they're looking for. They want to go into places like Littleton that have a massive volume. We just don't have that."
But commercial space downtown is about to grow significantly.
Local developer Jim Cook of Colorado Group Realty is spearheading three downtown projects - Howelsen Place at Seventh Street, Alpenglow at Sixth Street and Riverwalk at Fifth and Yampa streets - that will add a total of about 50,000 square feet of commercial space downtown.
Other projects under construction, including The Victoria at 10th Street and The Olympian at Fifth Street, also will add commercial space.
Howelsen Place alone will have 10 businesses, Cook said Wednesday. He disagreed with implementing a formula store ordinance downtown.
"I'm a free market guy," Cook said. "Plus, I think design guidelines can handle the impact of any formula store that might look at the downtown."
Cook said some name brands could attract shoppers downtown and increase the vitality of the entire area.
"There are some national (stores) that I can guarantee you, downtown retailers would love to have next door to them, because it would pick up their business," Cook said. "Would a Cold Stone Creamery be bad for downtown? I don't think so."
Spence also noted the positive impacts national brands can have.
"People will go to one of these, and then they'll shop at the little store next door," Spence said. "On the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, when The Cheesecake Factory moved in, everybody's sales went up. : It's a complex issue."

Deputy inspector general (DIG) of police Sunil Paraskar, who has been accused of sexual assault and molestation by a 26-year-old model, submitted a list of 13 people and requested the crime branch to record their statements in the case.
In the letter addressed to Kala Gavit, assistant commissioner of police of the crime against women (CAW) cell, Paraskar has named his wife, two journalists, manager and staff of a hotel in Bandra where they ate together, and a photographer who shot the woman's pictures in a bikini on Holi.
In the letter, Paraskar said that two constables of Malwani police station, who were on duty at Madh Island, had objected to her shoot on the day of Holi, to which the model had used her name to get her work done.
The list also includes the name of two senior inspectors of Dindoshi and Goregaon police stations, who knew the model in connection with her cases in the past.
Paraskar has also alleged that the police did not read out his final statement to him.
"On July 28, when I had requested you to kindly read the statement to me, which was being recorded by you/your writers and notes were being taken of the same, I was told that it was not possible to do so as it is a long statement and would be reduced into writing later and be sent to me for reading it over," Paraskar said in his letter, the copy of which is with Hindustan Times.
The letter further said only half of the video-recorded statement has been quoted in the anticipatory bail application proceedings and some incorrect version of his statement is being put before the court.
Sadanand Date, joint commissioner of police, crime, said, "I will check if a letter has been sent to the CAW [by the DIG]. We will take the statements of those whose names have been mentioned in it. We will certainly read out his statement to him after the final recording is done."

London Labour and the London Poor is a vivid oral account of London's working classes in the mid-19th century. Taking the form of verbatim interviews that carefully preserve the grammar and pronunciation of every interviewee, the completed four-volume work amounts to some two million words: an exhaustive anecdotal report on almost every aspect of working life in London.
In his introduction to the book, Henry Mayhew (1812-87) writes: 'I shall consider the whole of the metropolitan poor under three separate phases, according as they will work, they can't work, and they won't work.' Thus, the book proceeds from interviews with working-class professionals (dockers, factory workers) to street performers and river scavengers ('mudlarks') and finally to interviews with beggars, prostitutes and pickpockets.
In its comprehensiveness and documentary honesty, London Labour and the London Poor was adopted as a key text by social reformers of all stripes: Christians, Whigs, liberal conservatives and socialists. A sometime editor of the satirical magazine Punch, Mayhew had been born into a conservative family, but was inspired into reforming zeal in 1849 by his experience reporting on the devastating effects on the poor of a cholera outbreak in Bermondsey, south London.

I'm new to Windows 7 and here and this should be simple, but I can't find a way to add Adobe Reader (or anything else) to what is already present in Default Programs. Any guidance would be most welcome. rfb100
How-To Geek Forums / Windows 7
Default Programs(8 posts)
Your question is not clear to me? What are you trying to accomplish and what have you tried?
However, I'll assume you did one of these two.
Usually you would find a file you want to open, RMB and select with OPEN WITH and you'd see a list of programs. Don't see one you want to open with that icon/program, select BROWSE and locate the EXE you want and select that.
If you went to Start Orb and the DEFAULT PROGRAMS on the right side, the first entry, SET YOUR DEFAULT PROGRAMS, I think can only list programs inserted there by install or are already a default for some file types. The second entry is the one you want. Find the file extension and then set the program default for it.

Here is what I am trying to do. I get a number of PDF attachments to my emails. I am using Windows Live Mail, that MS in their wisdom, broke out of the basic Windows program as it has been previously, to this stand-alone app. Now, when I click on the PDF attachment , I get a message that says to go to Default Programs and make sure Adobe Reader is there. Well, it isn't there and I can't find any way to add it to the Default Programs list. In other words, how can I make PDF attachments readily available for opening? Thanks.
Try this instead,
Whilst you solve your problem.
Hmm, this is indeed a mystery. In "set default programs", the .pdf reader does not even show up for a setting. I use Foxit and it is not there either.
Until we found a solution I suggest you detach the documents from your mail and open them seperately.
Well, if you go the 'other way', set association for an extension, ASSOCIATE A FILETYPE OR PROTOCOL WITH A PROGRAM selection, and select .pdf, it will show what is associated? If not what you want, change it. You can also do this with Explorer, find a PDF file, RMB on it, select OPEN WITH, then browse, find the program you want and check ALWAYS USE.

WARNING = Read between lines and avoid ask the same ol' questions.
hello there my friends…as you may or may not know i have been looking into the possability to get a full core dump from my ps3….a few hours ago i was sent a pm from ANON on another site… here it is….
hey mate,
yeh cfwprophet told something about the ram dump too. you can make a core dump on a dex.
here is a quote from him:
'I say it now for the last time: There is NO fself for new games !! TrueBlue use the CoreDump function and a RSX exception to dump the games like i told the scene for over a half year.'
'take MultiMan 04.02 which is a Retail NPDRM >> enable core dump function >> start MultiMan >> exit to XMB and be surprised'
'The Coredump function is a embended system of the debug FW and get handled of liblv2dbg. The send signal call aka send_signal_to_coredump_handler() and the trigger function are always running and CAN NOT be deactivated.'
he also said that you will get one 250MB file. there you have to search the decrypted file(s).
it would be pretty sure that they use this method, because newer games wouldnt have debug eboots or fselfs.
if you open a tb eboot with a hex editor, you will see near at the end , that they stand right after the codes some passages with 'liblv2′. if you open a original eboot , you cant find passages with 'liblv2′. like cfwprophet said, the core dump get handled of 'liblv2dbg' and you can find 'liblv2′ passages in tb eboots. so they use coredump pretty sure.
but the problem is to trigger a crash or so. i really dont know. im not a dev and dont have an idea.
i just wanted to tell you this infos because i saw your post about coredump.
here you can read more infos:
and here about liblv2dbg:
well i now have a few core dumps …some were 250mb and a 500mb dump which i have uploaded including the log file…it is in rar format & compressed to 45mb
hopefully this will lead us to the magic decrypted eboots that we all want.
i hope someone with a bit more knowledge than me can use this info.

Yes, writes Cameron Wilson, but with its beautiful harbour, great beaches and wonderful climate, Sydney has every reason to be pleased with itself.
"The problem with you Sydneysiders is you've got the harbour and the beaches, so you just sit around feeling good about the fact you've got the harbour and the beaches."
My mate Dan, an impassioned Melburnian, can always be relied on to cut to the chase. And to be fair, his is a commonly held perception about those of us lucky enough to call the world's most famous harbour city home: the sun shines more often than not and as a result we're just a bit too pleased with ourselves.
Rather than be an apologist for this state of affairs, I set out to "do" Sydney in all its harbour-and-beaches glory, exactly the way a first-time visitor might if they had the best advice from a savvy local.
Staying harbourside is the first priority, so I check in to Establishment, a boutique hotel within shouting distance of Circular Quay ferry terminal. Establishment is otherwise renowned for having a couple of salubrious cocktail bars and a so-hot-right-now nightclub, which suggests the place should be noisy, but I arrive on a Sunday and my very stylish room is as quiet as a tomb.
I meet my Sydney mate Mike, and we walk around to Campbell's Cove and board the Danish-built tall ship Southern Swan for a two-hour harbour cruise with drinks and a barbecue. There are myriad options for getting out on the water in Sydney, from tours that focus on colonial history to genteel dining cruises and hair-raising jet boats, but for simple elegance, a traditional three-masted tall ship is hard to beat. The moment the skipper cuts the engines and the crew hoists sail, the only noises we hear are creaking timbers and the gentle slosh of waves against the bow.
A sliver of moon and the first few stars have appeared by the time we pass under the Harbour Bridge and it's all Mike and I can do not to congratulate ourselves that this is the city we call home.
My plan next day is to explore the harbour eastward as it expands into the Pacific and westward to become the Parramatta River. For this, I need a clutch of ferry schedules - handily available in front of every wharf along Circular Quay - and a day public transport card, good for all Sydney buses, trains and ferries.
Sitting topside on a SuperCat, I glide first past the glass-fronted sails of Sydney Opera House and then the Botanic Gardens before the skipper opens the taps and the ferry surges ahead, bound for the harbour's eastern bays. This should be a prosaic experience for someone born and bred in Sydney, but with shirt flapping in the breeze and hair tousled and salt-sprayed, I would happily take this trip every day for the rest of my life.
Coves bulging with yachts, tiny secret beaches, odd little lighthouses and beacons and the world's most expensive waterfront homes all slip by before the ferry fetches up at Watson's Bay wharf.
Returning to the Quay, I board a Parramatta River RiverCat and alight at Abbotsford, where Sydney Rowing Club is situated, right beside the ferry wharf. The restaurant overlooks the river and you don't need to be a member to get classic fish'n'chips with a cold beer or a decent bottle of wine.
I've planned to sneak in an afternoon swim, and as it's the tail end of the Australian winter, the Icebergs seems appropriate. Bondi Icebergs, one of Australia's most venerable swimming clubs (it opened circa 1890), is at the south end of Bondi Beach, with an extravagant restaurant, a bar bistro and the most stunningly situated Olympic-size saltwater swimming pool on the planet. It's also the perfect winter venue, as the entry fee includes use of the sauna, and the poolside deck is a great vantage point for whale-spotting.
However, a stiff breeze is rifling the pool's surface when I arrive, so I drive two beaches south to Bronte, where the (free) ocean pool is better protected from the wind. After a few lazy laps, I sit with my back against the sun-warmed stone wall like a lizard on a rock and watch some of Bronte's teenage board-riding whizzes make light work of the tricky reef break.
While the harbour is where any first-time visitor to Sydney is likely to want to stay and play, dining out near the water is rarely cheap, and my favourite alternative is to go inner-city cool and funky over on King Street, Newtown.
Bus 422 from the quay gets me there in 20 minutes, and I pick Green Gourmet at random, a bustling vegetarian place where every (tasty) dish comes in at well under $20. Newtown has some of Sydney's best live music venues, too, and I catch an indie-rock trio at the Sandringham Hotel, then grab a table at The Vanguard, a brilliant spot for live jazz and blues, New Orleans-style.
By the time a taxi drops me at my new harbourside digs, the Four Seasons, most streets are all but deserted. But the lights of ferries, water taxis and motor boats are still twinkling on the water, and on the Bridge, cars melt into a blur of colour and light. Dan won't want to hear it, but right now I'd be hard-pressed not to feel a bit chuffed that I get to call this harbour city home.

Sydney Airport transport and parking. The airport-city rail link costs $15.80 per person; a taxi is the most affordable transport option ($35-$42), especially for two or more people.
Expensive pubs. In some Sydney watering holes the price of a beer ought to invoke outrage, only the locals have got used to it; the average is $5-$6 for a 375ml "schooner" glass, but some publicans charge $7-$9 a schooner - an extortionate price.
George Street cinema district. Bounded by Liverpool and Hay Streets, this downtown precinct is at best grubby and uninspiring, at worst the haunt of thieves and occasionally the scene of violent feuds among drug syndicates.
Most visitors spend time on the beaches, but a jellyfish sting can sour the experience. In the summer especially, bluebottles (Portuguese Man of War jellyfish) drift onto the city's beaches, sometimes in huge numbers; locals can be a bit gung-ho and continue swimming, but a sting is genuinely painful and produces a nasty red welt. If you see bluebottles clumped on the shoreline, stay out of the water.

Use to hide the bake element at the bottom of the oven.
This part works with the following brands: Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, KENMORE®, Tappan & White-Westinghouse.
I had stupidly put aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven - They warn you NOT to. Since it would be toxic to food I had to replace it. Remove the racks and the side rack holders. lift and slide the element cover out. There are 2 slots on the end of the cover that goes to the back of the oven that go onto metal pieces that hold it in place. It goes in very easily. Then replace the rack holders and oven racks. It is simple. I didn't know that so I actually paid someone to do the 10 minute job which includes the removal and replacement of the oven racks. You can do it yourself. Just take your time.

Last November, Forbes.com listed 18 NHL teams as losing money, but that number is being challenged by some hockey bloggers and fans.
Considering some of the NHL's top teams (San Jose Sharks, Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, LA Kings) were listed among those which Forbes.com indicated were on the negative side of the ledger, its understandable why there's scepticism over those numbers.
I've read several fans and a few bloggers questioning Forbes.com's numbers in recent weeks. Blogger "J.J. from Kansas" of "Winging It In Motown" put it best in a recent observation:
"Every year, Forbes releases a valuation of NHL franchises in which the magazine does a lot of research not only to hammer down what each team is worth, but also how their cash flow works. Last year's rankings showed 18 of the NHL's 30 teams running at an operating loss. The problem is that NHL teams are run as private businesses and private businesses don't release their financials for review. Forbes builds their data off what they can gather off publicly available data, but that data is extremely sensitive to Hollywood accounting. For instance, last year, the Colorado Avalanche reported $7M more in gate receipts than theFlorida Panthers, despite the Panthers drawing 1,100 more fans per game and having a higher average ticket price.
The Truth: Sadly, only the league, and possibly the players know the truth. Did the Panthers lose money? Yeah, probably. Did the Capitals lose more money than the Panthers? Probably not. Did the Sharks lose more than both of them? Come on now. Part of the reason for the Panthers' gate receipts being so low is that their lease agreement leaves nothing to the team for luxury box sales. Of course, the Panthers lease their arena from a company owned by the same company that owns them, but Forbes doesn't count that."
For those unfamiliar with the term "Hollywood Accounting", here's the Wikipedia description:
"… the opaque accounting methods used by the film, video and television industry to budget and record profits for film projects. Expenditures can be inflated to reduce or eliminate the reported profit of the project thereby reducing the amount which the corporation must pay in royalties or other profit-sharing agreements, as these are based on the net profit.
I recently referred to Forbes.com's evaluation in my six-part series examining the NHL's money-losing franchises. While I agree with "J.J. from Kansas" that the numbers provided for some clubs may be worthy of a justified, healthy measure of scepticism, since the NHL doesn't make their books public, the Forbes.com report remains the best available data to go by.
Few would quibble over the fact the Phoenix Coyotes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Tampa Bay Lightning, NY Islanders, Carolina Hurricanes, St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks lost money during the 2010-11 season. Even "J.J." agrees the Florida Panthers probably lost money that season.
For that matter, no one will question the Winnipeg Jets lost money in that season, their last in Atlanta as the Thrashers.
A decline in attendance also accounted for the Minnesota Wild's losses in 2010-11, while the Buffalo Sabres losses were due in part to being the smallest and poorest NHL market in the United States.
In its report, Forbes.com does provide a brief analysis of each club, where some explanation for some of those losses can be found.
As I noted in my series on money-losing NHL teams, Forbes.com in November 2010 observed the Sharks losses for 2009-10 were due to:
"… a high payroll and a lease that funnels some of the arena revenues to the city. On the years that it is in the red its owners have funded the P&L statement with capital calls rather than debt. The Sharks contribute about 55% of the revenue to its parent company, Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainment, a $155 million a year business that is involved in everything from ice rinks and tennis tournaments to mixed martial arts and apparel."
I daresay those factors, as well as a fan cost index among the bottom third of the league, continue to explain the Sharks losses for 2010-11, and their reported $15 million in losses for 2011-12.
As I also pointed out in my series, the Capitals are part of Monumental Sports and Entertainment, which suggests – like the Sharks – part of their revenue may be redistributed back to the parent company.
To be fair, I'm also sceptical when I see a team like the Pittsburgh Penguins showing losses in its first full season in a new arena:
"The Penguins sold out every game in their inaugural season playing in the $321 million Consol Energy Center. The Pens control the arena and generated revenue from a lot of non-NHL events, such as concerts, professional wrestling and the circus. The Penguins enjoyed the highest local television ratings in the NHL last season, averaging 8.7, 7% more than 2009-10. Mario Lemiuex continues to be innovative when it comes to creating sponsorship and marketing platforms for his team."
But, as noted earlier, NHL teams don't open their books for public scrutiny, so we have to defer to the Forbes.com evaluation.
It should also be pointed out the NHL, during the last lockout, dismissed Forbes.com suggestion the league's losses were less than half of what it claimed to be. During the current lockout, however, the league has not been critical of the site's report of eighteen teams losing money in 2010-11.
I'm certainly not implying Forbes.com is skewing the data. Indeed, they're doing us a service by providing insight into the business of hockey, giving us some idea about NHL franchise values. Obviously, they're doing the best they can with what's available.
Given how guarded NHL teams are with their books, fans will never know what the true figures are, how many teams are truly losing money, and which clubs may be employing "Hollywood accounting" to their figures.
Ultimately, fans will have to use their best judgement when reviewing those figures.

Where I stayed
I stayed at The Hotel Berlor in Alajuela for 2 nights prior to departing for Drake Bay. The family that runs the hotel is very g
Once I arrived in Drake Bay, more truthfully, in the rainforest of Drake Bay, I stayed at Costa Cetacea.
What I did
The Pacific Ocean: pan-tropical dolphins, humpback whales, sea turtles etc
This is where I found myself on Oct 8/11. I had just travelled all day to get to this point, having journeyed by air , by land and now by water, with a hike awaiting me when I got to shore. The trip had gone smoothly by Costa Rican standards, afterall, all my limbs were intact and I still had my luggage. I had landed in the country 2 days before this and was only a day behind schedule; note to self, leave the schedule at home next time and keep travel plans loose.
Anyway, I had booked a domestic flight from Alajuela to Drake Bay, which didn't pan out due to the monsoons that had hit the day I got there, so after 2 trys and lots of turbulence, they cancelled the flight and asked me to come back the next day to try again. Which I did, with a totally new travel route planned. One that would take me by air, by land and by water to get to the interior of Drake Bay on the Osa Peninsula, where I would be staying for a months time, in the rainforest to do some volunteer work and some soul searching
I had been to Costa Rica the year before, to do some surfing, well to learn how to surf first and then go surfing, and had stayed in the Central Pacific area of the country. One of the many things I love about this country is it's geographic diversity. It has something for everyone,whether you like beaches, mountains, rainforests or have an interest in birding, this country has it in spades. The people are friendly and down to earth, the food is simple, and the music is vibrant and full of passion. Did I mention the Ocean?
Speaking of the ocean, this is where I was on Oct 8/11, bobbing in the Pacific, uncertain of whether or not I would be made to walk the plank with my luggage or if I just needed to pay the captain $15(US) for the luxury of being brought directly to shore with my luggage. Happily, I just needed to pay the money, which I did with much relief.
The captain then brought the boat to individual resort docks, where other people would be exiting. I exited at the Paloma dock, and made my way to the trail, where I waited briefly for my host, who was also running on Costa Rican time. I ended up wandering in exactly the wrong direction to where I needed to be going and fortunately, the guys at the Drake Bay Wilderness Resort were familiar with the people I would be staying with, so after they pointed me in the right direction, they called the Larkins to let them know that I had arrived and was now wandering in their general direction
Thankfully, I was the recipient many times over of the generosity and kindness of the Costa Rican people, who always seemed to go out of their way to give a hand to a wayward wanderer and to make sure I got to where I needed to be.
I didn't wander too far before I met up with one of my hosts and we walked/slid/climbed back in the general direction of his place and the place where I would be spending the next 30 days thoroughly immersed in the country's remotest region. Did I mention that it was the rainy season? and that October is the rainiest month of the rainy season?
Let me be the first to say that if you've never experienced rainy season in a tropical country, there is just no way to prepare yourself for it, literally and figuratively. And believe me, I was not prepared, in fact, I was underprepared and overwhelmed in a short period of time. I'll write more about this a little later...
Pura Vida!!

Imperial College/Courses/Fall2008/Synthetic Biology (MRes class)/'R' Tutorial
From OpenWetWare
Introduction to 'R'
You will find here a basic introduction to the 'R Software'. Take the time to explore the Basic Commands menu before starting the pratical.
'R' Software Features
R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License in source code form. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms and similar systems (including FreeBSD and Linux), Windows and MacOS.
It includes:
- an effective data handling and storage facility,
- a suite of operators for calculations on arrays, in particular matrices,
- a large, coherent, integrated collection of intermediate tools for data analysis,
- graphical facilities for data analysis and display either on-screen or on hardcopy, and
- a well-developed, simple and effective programming language which includes conditionals, loops, user-defined recursive functions and input and output facilities.
Our Objectives
The programming package R will be introduced. Emphasis will be put on learning by examples using existing R subroutines. Students will learn how to read data files, analyse and fit data to models, plot graphs, print to output files, and how to implement simple models. The latter will focus on ordinary differential equations.

Crude Caps Biggest Monthly Gain Since August
West Texas Intermediate crude climbed, capping the biggest monthly gain since August, as inventories at a major hub dropped to a 15-month low and the U.S. economy grew more than projected in the second quarter.
Prices advanced 1.9 percent after the government said supplies at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for New York futures, slid 4.3 percent last week. They were at a record in January. Gross domestic product rose at a 1.7 percent annualized rate in a Commerce Department report. Futures extended gains in the last half hour of regular trading as the Federal Reserve said it would maintain monthly bond purchases.
"If we continue to see Cushing supplies drop, it could signify the end of the bottleneck there," said Julius Walker, global energy markets strategist at UBS Securities LLC in New York. "It could signal that Cushing is being structurally drained, which would be supportive of WTI, although I don't think we're there yet."
WTI for September delivery rose $1.95 to settle at $105.03 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up 8.8 percent for the month. The volume of all futures traded was 3 percent below the 100-day average at 3:42 p.m.
Brent for September settlement advanced 79 cents, or 0.7 percent, to end the session at $107.70 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. It increased 5.4 percent in July. Volume was 4 percent below the 100-day average.
The European benchmark's premium to WTI shrank to $2.67 from $3.83 yesterday. The gap has narrowed from more than $23 earlier this year as improved pipeline networks and the use of rail links eased a North American supply glut created by rising production of crude from shale formations.
Cushing inventories dropped 1.9 million barrels last week to 42.1 million, the least since April 2012, according to the Energy Information Administration, the Energy Department's statistical arm. Supplies decreased 7.53 million barrels this month, the most in nine years of data.
Overall U.S. stockpiles unexpectedly increased 431,000 barrels last week to 364.6 million, the EIA said. Stockpiles tumbled 29.9 million in the four weeks ended July 19, the biggest such decline since 1982.
Second-quarter GDP grew faster than the 1 percent pace forecast by economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The Commerce Department also issued comprehensive revisions with today's report that showed the recovery from the worst U.S. recession in the post-World War II era has been stronger than previously estimated.
GDP Growth
"The GDP report is significantly better than expectations and it reinforces the concept of modest growth in the U.S. economy," said Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics LLC, an Austin, Texas-based energy consultant. "The economic picture in the medium and long term looks more supportive for oil prices."
The U.S., the world's biggest oil-consuming country, accounted for about a fifth of global demand in 2012, according to BP Plc (BP/)'s Statistical Review of World Energy.
"The GDP is surprisingly good and it should be supportive for energy demand," said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at the Price Futures Group in Chicago.
Fed Statement
Prices extended gains after the Fed said it will continue its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases. The central bank offered no new details on possible tapering of the quantitative easing policy after a two-day policy meeting at which the central bank also kept interest rates unchanged.
"It shows they are not in a rush to end the QE program," Schenker said. "It should be bullish for crude."
OPEC crude output dropped for a second month in July, led by the biggest plunge in Libyan production since the 2011 war that overthrew Muammar Qaddafi, a Bloomberg survey showed.
