The Battle of the Dashboard is underway, and Microsoft, one of the stalwarts of the connected car set, aims to stay relevant with the introduction of "Windows in the Car."
The very beta version of Microsoft's new infotainment system was demoed at the Build developer's conference, and it brings the Windows back-end that powers dozens of automotive dashes and adds a "Metro" skin to bring the company's branding front and center.
The interface for Windows in the Car apes all the standard UI elements found in both Windows and Windows Phone devices. A "Start" screen acts as home page, with Tiles providing access to devices, music, podcasts, and books. Swiping the screen makes a swooshing noise and toggles between maps, phone, music, and climate controls. It's all de rigueur for a next-gen infotainment display, just with a Windowsian design.
Microsoft's demo also uses the ill-fated and sporadically adopted Mirrorlink standard originally pushed by Nokia to connect with a Windows Phone device. Although support has fallen off since its introduction a few years back, Volkswagen, Honda, and Toyota are still committed to the platform–while keeping their options open–and Pioneer and Alpine have adopted it for aftermarket head-units.
Windows Embedded legacy software powers nearly half of all the connected car systems in the U.S., but that dominance is beginning to wane. Blackberry's QNX software is the backbone of over 30 percent of in-car systems, and Ford just inked a deal to replace Windows Embedded with QNX for its future Sync products.
But the real fight is a mirror of the mobile space, and that involves competition from Apple and Google.
Automakers are beginning to roll out Apple's CarPlay system, with Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo shipping the systems this year, while Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, Jaguar, Chevrolet, Kia, and Hyundai are set to launch in early 2015.
Meantime, Google has partnered with Audi, General Motors, Honda, and Hyundai, along with chipmaker NVIDIA, to create the Open Automotive Alliance to bring Google's mobile OS into the car. But neither Google nor its partners have announced a ship date for a true automotive-grade version of Android. And we haven't even seen a mock-up of the interface. That's not surprising given the amount of time it takes to get a system validated for auto use, and that could play in Microsoft's favor.
Considering the company's history with Windows Embedded, it has a solid relationship with both automakers and the suppliers that help bring these systems to market. But just like the battle for mobile, it's all about adoption. Microsoft is in for a fight, and by showing its in-car plans this early, Microsoft is trying to court developers so a suite of apps will be available when it launches.
"[It's] more of a concept, but a concept that we can work very very seriously on," Microsoft's Steve Teixeira says during the presentation.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

I just got an email from a guy who reports he's feeling exceptionally happy, everything's going 'swimmingly' - his work, his love life, his social life, his t'ai chi and spiritual practice - yet he's feeling troubled and is fighting with himself because he's afraid life isn't meant to be this good. On the one hand he's at peace and on the other, he's in distress (about it) and is wondering how to deal with it so, presumably, he can be fully at peace - or, possibly, fully in distress: he didn't specify.
Now, you may think: spoilt brat - enjoy it while you can, it won't last, it never does, but as a healer, distress is distress, no matter the cause, even if the distress is from having nothing to be distressed about.
The state of distress, or literally the state of being torn asunder, is intrinsic to the human condition. It's there to keep you on your toes - to stop your mind falling asleep on the job (of being alive). It's not something you should bother trying to resolve, for that would be merely a waste of energy. The key to healthy functioning of mind - and consequently of body - lies in how you accommodate the distress. But first, you have to establish yourself as the boss - the boss of your inner state, the commander-in-chief, observing the warring factions within and accommodating the pleas of both, the main point being that you are the accommodator rather than either of the accommodated. On the one side, there's the happy inner child, wanting to be fully immersed in the pleasure of it all no matter how much it sucks. On the other, there's the unhappy inner child who hates or fears what's going on no matter how wonderful, and who is always threatening to sabotage a good thing. You, as accommodator, identify with neither the inner winner nor the inner loser. You listen, you enjoy the entertainment of the dialogue, but you don't identify with either.
This requires psycho-energetically stepping back, gathering your awareness away from your forebrain, where the dialogue goes on, and away from your chest and belly, where all the feelings go on, and drawing it backwards into your rear portion - from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Drawing your consciousness towards the rear like this by a minor act of will causes an instant repositioning of yourself in relation to the whole idea of winning or losing, being happy or distressed. You are at once freed from the emotional upset in the belly, the tension in the chest and the local madness in your forebrain, and if you then allow yourself to breathe freely and let your muscles relax, you can remain like this, a travelling Buddha in the midst of daily life, no longer expending precious energy fighting with yourself to win a war that can't be won.
You think what you think, good or bad, you feel what you feel, good or bad - but neither upsets your equilibrium. Life brings pleasure, life brings pain - you see that clearly but no longer feel the childish need to cling to either.
All pleasure and all pain pass eventually. This realisation neither pleases nor pains you. You simply feel peaceful, for when you're back in your back, you have the sense that this is the part of you, the boss part, that goes on forever, and from this perspective you view the ups and downs of life as mere opinions. Everything simply is as it is, and you feel deeply existentially satisfied with that.
The inner winner can do its t'ai chi, enjoy its love life and work life and have a swimming time of things, the inner loser can be suffering distress and doing all it can to spoil the party, injecting fears of what could go wrong into the mental mix - and it's all fine. Nothing to resolve - you simply watch, enjoy and carry on doing the things you have to do, and want to do, to make this the merriest old show you can - et voilà!

We don't treat kennel cough with antibiotics unless it becomes severe. Kennel Cough is caused by a virus and antibiotics won't help unless it is progressing into pneumonia or something similar. We have used Robitussin successfully, but my preference is to treat it as you would a child with a cold. Run your shower in your bathroom on HOT and get the bathroom nice and steamy. Sit in the steamy bathroom with the dog, the steam will help loosen the congestion and make breathing easier. Giving the dog warm broth will also help loosen the congestion. You can use a cough medicine if the cough is keeping the dog from eating or drinking but it is better to allow the dog to cough and get the gunk out of its lungs. If you do use cough syrup, speak to your vet first. Some types are unsafe for your dog and you also want to be sure to get the correct dosage
Our Gang answered on 1/2/08. Helpful? / 0
I think generally a dog can recover from kennel cough on their own, and there are a few things you can do at home to help them, like the post above mine said. I would still at least call your vet for his/her advice. Shinji's vet told me that you can give dogs regular cough syrup for kennel cough, but I definitely wouldn't do that before speaking with your vet to get any specifics there might be about brand, dosage, etc. When he gave it to Shinji, he just called in a prescription to a human pharmacy for a cough suppressant.
I understand not wanting to give your pup antibiotics, but if he isn't showing signs of improvement pretty soon, I would take him to the vet for some. In an extreme scenario, kennel cough can turn into something serious like bronchitis or pneumonia. You definitely don't want him to develop something like that.
Shinji answered on 1/2/08. Helpful? / 1
I agree that antibiotics should be used in severe cases. They are prescribed to make sure a secondary infection doesn't have a chance to take hold.
If I had a small, fragile dog, a puppy or an older dog, I'd ask for antibiotics at the vet's office.
But, as someone else said, kennel cough is caused by a virus. In fact, it is caused by a few different strains of viruses, which is why some dogs contract it even though they've had the shot; the shot only protects against certain viruses.
My advice would be to get a diagnosis from your vet for sure, unless you're very experienced with kennel cough.
Make sure he gets plenty of rest and is warm while he recovers. If he's not better within a week or if he gets worse, its time for those antibiotics.
Antibiotics can decrease a dog's immunity, but if used wisely, it is only a temporary decrease and shouldn't be a problem.
Also, make sre you keep your dog indoors until he's done coughing. This is highly contagious!

Hi Dave..... I just returned from Ireland/Scotland last night. I had been awake for over forty hours, so I crashed and burned when I got home. Slept 14 hours straight. Your trip looks great and it seems you are having fun and meeting some good people. I'll have my photos of my journey up on facebook in a few days. Ride safely.... Tim
Further North - Denali
Loading Map
I stopped at Denali STATE Park (south of the National Park) for an excellent view of the south peak, which is the taller of the two McKinley peaks. Within the NATIONAL Park the view is of the south side of the mountain and the taller peak is viewable but obstructed by the south peak in front of it, so many consider the south side the better vantage point for viewing the mountain.
When it is visible, Mount McKinley dominates the sky. My photos of Mount McKinley don't do it justice. My photography skills are limited and the sun was so bright reflecting off the snow and ice-covered peaks that it was difficult to photograph. Following is some of what I managed to get.
I spent so much time taking photos of this spectacular mountain that I didn't get checked into my Denali National Park campsite until about 10:00 p.m. I stayed at the Riley Creek Campground in the park. It is convenient to the Denali Mercantile Center which has food, hot showers, and Internet access!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
The clarity of the mountain is amazing. It wasn't that clear when from viewing from a helicopter. How far are you from the base?
I'm so glad that you decided to go to Denali. The photos are worth the effort! Be sure you stay aware of your surroundings though. It sounds like wildlife isn't the only to worry about. On 7/8/10 the military had to evacuate an 'erratic' Mt. McKinley climber (see http://www.nps.gov/dena/parknews/militaryassist.htm). :-)
The National Park Service webcam isn't showing very clear weather this morning in Denali. Boo. (see http://www.nature.nps.gov/air/webcams/parks/denacam/denacam.cfm)
Bill, apparently this clear view of the mountain is extremely rare, but there were 3 days in a row - this being the last one - where it was very clear. This day apparently was the clearest, though. This is about 30 miles from the base. The river bed in the foreground of one of these photos was actually the path in that the first expedition took to climb the south peak. After successfully climbing the south summit the group of 4 climbers was on its way back down and they fell into a glacier crevass. Sadly, the team leader, a park ranger, was killed and another climber was seriously injured.
Karen, you're right, I'm very glad I made the trip to Denali. The views and wildlife have been excellent. I do stay aware. I'm told that bear spray works on grizzlies AND erratic humans!
Tim, welcome back from Ireland! I'm looking forward to seeing your photos. Could you send me a facebook link? email@example.com.

BOSTON - Heading into Mondays Game 4 of Miami-Boston series, only once has a team shot at least 50% from the field.
In the three previous games, only once has a team scored more than 100 points.
When two of the NBAs elite gets matched up in the post-season, defence often steps up.
Not surprisingly, Boston and Miami were well represented when the NBA announced its first-team all-defensive unit on Monday, a list highlighted by the leagues defensive player of the year in Orlandos Dwight Howard.
The Celtics connection is led by Kevin Garnett, who earned his ninth first-team honour.
Joining Garnett is teammate Rajon Rondo, while LeBron James made the grade for Miami.
Rounding out the first team is Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, who also made his ninth first team.
Garnett and Bryant now join Michael Jordan and Gary Payton for the most all-defensive first-team honours in NBA history.
The voting panel consisted of the leagues 30 head coaches, who were asked to select the first and second team by position, excluding their own players.
Tony Allen (Memphis), Chris Paul (New Orleans), Tyson Chandler (Dallas), Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia) and Joakim Noah (Chicago) made up the second team.
An additional 32 players received at least one vote, none from the Raptors.

FLORIDA KEYS -- The plan announced by President Obama last week to curb gun violence drew mixed reaction from local mental health professionals, public officials and gun shop owners.
Obama's plan, which he brought forward just over a month after the Dec. 14 Newtown massacre, includes $500 million in federal funding to improve school safety, expand the nation's mental health network for students and young adults, incentivize states to share data from background checks and more.
But it's his proposals to ban assault weapons, limit bullet magazines to 10 rounds and require universal background checks that are drawing the most attention and controversy.
In Key West this week, the City Commission is expected to heed the advice of the city's Police Chief Donnie Lee by passing a resolution that urges Congress to go forward with those measures. In Islamorada, meanwhile, Village Mayor Ken Philipson said he plans to raise the same issue for discussion before the Village Council soon, but he wants to go one step further by proposing that the village require owners of semi-automatic weapons to keep those guns secured under lock and key.
"I want everything in a safe," Philipson said.
Not everyone, though, is as eager to embrace the Obama plan. Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay said last week that he's going to stay out of the debate.
"My job is to enforce the laws. We're not policy makers," Ramsay said. "I do believe in an individual's right to own and bear arms and also reasonable gun regulations."
Meanwhile, County Commissioner David Rice panned Obama's proposed gun control measures, calling them "unworkable."
"I think it is woefully narrow," Rice said. "Do we care whether our kids are killed with baseball bats or with guns?"
Unsurprisingly, Tom Kiffney, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office sergeant who owns Kiffney's Firearms Indoor Range in Key Largo, shares Rice's view on an assault weapons ban and on limiting the size of magazines.
"You're definitely going to keep law-abiding citizens from obtaining these items. Criminals, they don't abide by the law," Kiffney said. He added that there are already so many high-capacity magazines and clips on the streets that curbing size now wouldn't make a dent.
But Kiffney embraced the remainder of the Obama plan, including universal background checks and the 23 executive orders the president signed last week. Among those orders are directives on new federal gun violence research, establishing a national gun safety campaign and making more background check data available, especially between states.
The plan calls for $230 million to go toward school safety measures and $155 to bolster the availability of mental health services for children and young adults.
On the school side, Obama has asked that most of the money be provided directly to school districts and law enforcement agencies to hire safety officers, counselors and psychologists and to train school staff on how to foster safe and nurturing on-campus environments.
Monroe County School District Superintendent Mark Porter said he's happy the plan focuses on training and emphasizes local control.
"I am hearing a preventative type of message, not just responsive measures," Porter said. "That's the approach we want to take."
Frank Rabbito, senior vice president of the Guidance Care Clinic in Marathon, the Florida Keys' only state- and county-funded outpatient mental health facility, said he also likes Obama's approach, with its emphasis on training teachers and child caregivers to recognize mental health warning signs.
"Clearly additional revenue which trains people in early intervention and prevention will improve the quality of life for these kids and improve safety," said Rabbito, who also noted that the beefed-up Medicaid funding that the federal government is offering the states under Obamacare should also bolster the country's mental health network.
But not everybody is so optimistic about the mental health portion of the Obama gun violence plan.
Rice, a clinical psychologist who founded the Guidance Care Clinic, said the most important change that needs to happen here in the Keys is to make it easier for authorities to keep potentially violent people with a mental health history in treatment. That's something that is governed under state law.
He also said that the sums of money Obama has proposed for school safety and improvements to the mental health network are inadequate.

100 Years Ago in the forward
If ever there was a shining light in the depressing darkness of Ellis Island, it was Alexander Harkavy, a brilliant, highly educated man whose love for humanity could be seen in a place where people have no value. Harkavy, who until recently worked for the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, greeted immigrants after their long journeys and helped guide them through the bureaucratic maze that is Ellis Island. But recently, Harkavy just quit, because the Tammany Hall connected millionaire, Judge Sanders, who runs his own version of an immigrant aid society, has decided that HIAS should be liquidated and subsumed by his organization. And since the uptown Yahudim have the economic upper hand, HIAS had no choice but to accede. And in doing so, it has lost Harkavy.
75 Years Ago in the forward
The residents of a quiet Bronx community thought their neighbor Harold Rosenzweig was a nice, quiet young man. Rosenzweig, who was known on his block as the manager of a taxi garage, was so well liked that some of his neighbors considered setting him up on dates with their own daughters. Therefore, they were shocked to learn of Rosenzweig's recent arrest, on charges of participating in a prostitution ring that shipped off girls to Honolulu so that they would work in brothels throughout the South Pacific. According to federal investigators who have been tracking Rosenzweig and his partners for a while, the gang's tentacles reach from New York to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, although the headquarters is alleged to be in San Francisco and run by a particular "Madam" whose name was not released.
50 Years Ago in the forward
The Jewish organizational world just received a rare visit from one Shehamsi Hekmat, a Jewish activist from Iran who is visiting the United States to become acquainted with the American Jewish community and to acquaint American Jews with Persian Jews. Tragically, Hekmat reported that 90% of Persian Jewry is impoverished; however, since the revolution of Shah Reza Pahlavi, Jews are no longer forced to live in ghettos, and they now have equal rights with other Iranians. Moreover, during the past few years, efforts have been made to provide Jewish children with an education. With funding from the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the situation is improving.

Hey i'm going to be starting mma this summer and i've been scouting around for a good gym. I live in ottawa so i was either thinking Ronin MMA or the ottawa academy of martial arts. I was wondering if it's better to start with a thai or BJJ base before starting mma or go right into mma. I'm currently doing american style kickboxing at a local academy but they teach for fitness more than fighting.

Atlanta Falcons
BREAKOUT - Roddy White
This was a tough decision, trying to decide between Roddy White and Jerious Norwood, but I'm going to go with White because I think he will get more opportunities than Norwood. (Jerious Norwood will be splitting carries)
White is entering that golden 3rd year for wide receivers, and for the first time in his short career he finally has a dependable veteran to play opposite him (Joe Horn). While it might seem that adding a 35 year old receiver coming off two consecutive injury-shortened season s might not mean much, Joe Horn still has some left in the tank and he will certainly help the Falcon's passing game. Horn not only should be able to teach White how to develop into a better receiver, learning the in's & out's of the position, but he should also provide Vick with a dependable WR that he can look for in critical situations. If Vick feels comf0rtable with his receivers, he might not feel the need to take off and run every play, which in itself should provide White with more chances to be productive.
Also, over the final 7 games, White had 3 games with over 90 games and averaged 22 yards per catch in that span.
Putting everything together, I could see him putting up 800+ yards and 7+ TDs which should make him a very good flex WR or good WR2 in deeper leagues
BUST - Warrick Dunn
Warrick Dunn has defied critics his entire career. Early in his career, he was told he was too small to handle the pounding of an every-down back, but he proved the critics wrong by rushing for 9,500 yards in his career: good for 22nd best all-time. Then a few years ago, he was said to be getting to old, and he again proved the doubters wrong by posting 3 straight 1,100 yard rushing seasons.
But now comes another challenge for Dunn to overcome in the form or 2006 3rd round pick, Jerious Norwood. As a rookie, Norwood rushed for 630 yards in limited actions and scored a couple of touchdowns, and over the final 5 weeks Norwood averaged 9 carries per game.
With Dunn getting up there in age, and Norwood gaining more experience, you can expect Dunn to lose more and more carries which severely hurts his fantasy value.
MR DEPENDABLE - Alge Crumpler
With all the problems that have plagued the Atlanta Falcons' in the passing game, the one constant has been the performance of Alge Crumpler. Over the past 3 seasons, the all-pro Tight End has averaged over 800 yards and 7 TDs per season while averaging an amazing (for TE's) 14.5 YPC, which puts him right up there with the top 2nd teir TEs (after Gates/Gonzo). Crumpler is a great option as a TE1 in any league.

Yeah, 'Crump' is the only consistent weapon in their dreaded passing attack. But, I will say, if Mike Vick is suspended, this passing game could improve.

Singaporean interests got consent to buy 23,471ha of rural South Island farmland in seven sheep stations.
The Overseas Investment Office approved Duxton Asset Management's purchase of 50 per cent of the shares in New Zealand Pastures which will indirectly own or control a freehold interest in the land.
The price was withheld as confidential but the vendors are the existing shareholders in New Zealand Pastures, 100 per cent New Zealand owned.
The stations are Three Rivers, Grantham Springs, Hitchin Hills, Quailburn, Hills Creek, the Styx and Huntleigh.
The office said the Singaporean business was an investment manager, representing itself and two overseas investment funds. They plan to continue the current farming model and develop and lift productivity on the farms, the office said.
Asian interests were also involved in another land deal. QWIL Investments (NZ) of Hong Kong bought Marlborough vineyard property from Australia's Winestock NZ, a deal which cost $16.2 million for the freehold interest and $26,606,880 for the leasehold rental.
The Hong Kong buyers intend to continue operating and development the vineyard business, the office said.
Australia's Perpetual got consent for a deal worth under $100 million to buy New Zealand assets from existing shareholders of The Trust Company Limited of Australia.
Coronado Resources, a 79.95 per cent Canadian-owned business with operations in Montana in the United States, got consent for a deal involving 5ha of land at Opunake.

All I know about the speaker is that it's a Sony Xplod 12" one of the older models. I know i need to buy an amp and mount it a box, so i want to build my own. (box not amp) This is what I know: -Box needs to be airtight for max response -I need a seal to mount the woofer on -I need an adapter to connect the amp to my stock stereo (for now) I'm not looking for humongous sound, just little more bass. Should I keep this woofer and build a box, or go with a thin 10" sub in a box? I want to do the woofer now because I've got it, so any help you guys can give me would be awesome. Thanks in advance

Deborah Coddington is a journalist,a former Act New Zealand politicianand a member of the ConstitutionalReview Panel seeking public feedback on how the country should be ruled in future.
The former Waipukurau woman, who now lives in Martinborough, talks to Lawrence Gullery about her career and memories of Hawke's Bay.
1. You grew up in Hawke's Bay, what memories do you have of that time and do you still have family here?
Yes, I was born in Waipukurau 60 years ago and grew up on a farm on Ugly Hill Rd. I went to Flemington Primary School, and after going away to boarding school for a while, which I hated, came back to finish my secondary schooling at Central Hawke's Bay College. I have really good memories of the A&P; Shows, the beautiful landscapes, particularly the Tukituki River-bed, working as a rousie in shearing gangs in the holidays, and the long, drawn-out summer evenings. Yes, I still have family in Hawke's Bay; nephews who are having children and carrying on the Coddington tradition at various schools.
2. What did you enjoy most about your journalism career?
I loved doing the big, hard feature stories for North & South and Metro magazines, where you really had to research the facts, and working for tough editors. A major one I did in Hawke's Bay was the story on the death of James Whakaruru. Not sure if it aided my work in Parliament or hindered it. Might have made me too willing to talk to journalists, as I sympathised with them when they wanted to get a story. I probably should have kept my mouth shut more often. But it certainly helps now, as a stand-in host at Radio Live, on the Willie & JT show, and Sean Plunket's show, because I have accumulated a breadth of knowledge about issues over my career.
3. What prompted you to want to be part of the Constitutional Review Panel?
I was asked by Bill English. It came out of the blue and was a complete shock. I didn't think he'd get it approved by Cabinet as I had been very critical of the Government in my Herald on Sunday column. But I love my work because I have learned so much about our constitutional history, and have come to understand a lot of things I was formerly very ignorant about, for instance, the history of Maori representation in central and local government.
4. What are some of the misconceptions people have about the review and the work of the panel?
One of the main misconceptions is that the panel is secretly writing a constitution (we are not) and that we are entrenching the Treaty of Waitangi in that. That is not our task. Some of the public are obsessed with the Treaty, but that is just one aspect of our constitutional issues. It's sad, because New Zealanders have nothing to fear from the Treaty of Waitangi. It's great going to meetings with young New Zealanders because they are so enthusiastic, and optimistic about this country's future. Another myth is that only experts can make submissions, we welcome comments from anyone and they can look us up on Facebook if they like.
5. Why is it important for people to have their say on this review?
This is a fantastic opportunity for New Zealanders to tell the politicians how they want this country ruled in the future, for their grandchildren, and their mokopuna. Constitutional issues belong to the people, not to the academics, or the politicians. Of the people, for the people, by the people. Anyone can say whatever they like - about whatever concerns them - and we will take note and include that in our report and our recommendations in December. www.ourconstitution.org.nz

Redskins' Griffin, Panthers' Kuechly win awards as top rookies
By Steve Ginsburg
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Quarterback Robert Griffin III, who led the Washington Redskins to their first division title since 1999, was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year on Saturday.
Linebacker Luke Kuechly, who led the NFL in tackles (164) and started all 16 games for the Carolina Panthers, grabbed the award for defensive rookies.
Griffin beat quarterbacks Andrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts and Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks, and Redskins running back Alfred Morris for the award.
Griffin threw for 3,200 yards and 20 touchdowns while completing 65 percent of his passes but his threat to run the ball confounded defenses all season.
He rushed for 815 yards and seven touchdowns while leading the Redskins to a 10-6 record.
The 22-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner out of Baylor said leading the Redskins back to the playoffs was his proudest accomplishment.
"Being the NFL East champions, that was the highlight for me," Griffin, the number two pick in the NFL Draft, said after winning the award at the NFL Honors ceremony at the Mahalia Jackson Theater in New Orleans.
"When we were 3-6 and we had to win, we did," he told reporters. "To have the last game in our house (against Dallas) on national TV, the bright lights, and come away with the victory, that showed a lot of character for our football team." Continued...

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Wiggles, Jul 14, 2009.
I heard this on the way home today. Very exciting - hope we can get him.
Sounds like you're guessing wrong, from what I've heard he is the one who reached out to Dumars with the proposition... He could be a very decent reserve big for us and we already know he's gonna give us whatever he has left in the tank... For only the vets minimum which doesn't take a hit against the cap for us (meaning we can still pursue bigs that can make an impact like Wilcox or Gooden), I just don't see much of a reason why not? As a matter of fact for the record Stuckey should give up that #3 jersey with no complaints to his elder... Not to mention I just think any guard that wears #3 should be able to shoot and make 3's a bit more consistently, lol!
Ha, HAAA... WHOA... You are either a master of sarcasm or a deeply disturbed so called basketball fan... I'm hoping for the former rather than the later so I can laugh with you intstead of at you!
LMFAO, indeed that patch is just absolutely WACK to say the freckin least! Not to mention he should feel lower than snail sh!t to get passed over by the spurs for an older player like Antonio McDyess with no hesitation, HA!
Joe is not interested in Ben. (my opinion) He wants a new player to step up and assume the leadership role. Wallace still could be an asset to a competitive team, but he would still be the old (fossil like) guard here. Interesting to see who...If any...of the 2004 players get their #s up in the rafters.
If Joe is afraid to make an offer to Big Baby, then he needs to go ahead and grab Wilcox and Ben so that Coach K II can get his game plan and roster set on who is playing where and when. Keep waiting and no one of merit will be available and we can't rely on Max/Kwame hold down the front court At this point, Ben is not a difference maker, but at least he is there to teach defense even if his skills have diminished to Daye, Summers, CV31 etc. After all our D ID left when Ben left.
Yes! Me too. But I think the #3 is firmly Stucks. If AI couldn't prize it away I don't think Ben would either. After the Pistons 'low-balled' Wallace previously, would he even want to come back? Do you think there would be any ill-feeling from either side? If Kuester is for real on his defensive importance, it might be a good choice to bring him back. He's got his money now and Flip is gone. He should already have a good relationship with Kuester.
Dre, I believe that Joe is trying to make a more significant move, so he may not be in a hurry to make an offer to a marginal FA.
How about 21 (2 AND 1)
Gotta get Ben and LH back either in jersey or in coach staff to mentor our youngs before it's too late. Recent draftee AA, AJ, WS are all gone and may be JM is going soon, we can say that they're not the material we need or anything but I'm regrettable to find that they got no one at their ears but just stripped and hung them out there and exposed to dry in last two seasons.
Q-ster was also his coach in cleveland.
Please don't goof on the profanity filter. By the rules, Stuckey could not give up his number after the season had already started. From what I remember, he was actually willing to give it to AI.
It's going to sell some tickets. Not as much as before but it's gotta look good from that standpoint. Maybe if these other prospects fall though then it could happen. Vet's min is at 1.3 mil.
Where did you hear this? For sentimental purposes i would like him to retire here, but at the same time i'd probably only want him back in a coaching capacity of some sort. I don't want to see him struggle here the way he did in CLE.
It was one of the rumors from McCoskey: Could Ben Wallace return to Pistons after buyout by Suns? | detnews.com | The Detroit News
Just to point out: Ben Wallace can't do anything anymore except foul.
But his salary wouldn't count against the cap. So, that's 6 free fouls per game, not a bad deal.
Right. Is Ben Wallace's 6 fouls better than Cheikh Samb's? I would be tempted to say yes. Ben has slowed down a lot from what I saw last season.
I'm all for bringing him back. I think it's a very good possibility. I look forward to the day his name and number are on the Palace floor.
You mean when he gets run over by Shaq?

State-owned farmer Landcorp is still interested in buying the 16 Crafar farms.
Receivers KordaMentha turned down its multimillion-dollar bid in July, saying the company "was not among the preferred tenderers" .
Hong Kong-listed company Natural Dairy, which is under a trading suspension, lost its bid on Wednesday when the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) declined its application because its directors and May Wang of the UBNZ group failed to meet a good character test.
Under the criteria for approval, the OIO has to judge whether the people at the helm of the company are of good character. This requirement was not satisfied and the OIO recommended Cabinet ministers Maurice Williamson and Kate Wilkinson turn down the offer, which they did.
Natural Dairy and its New Zealand-based sister company UBNZ Asset Holdings, of which it owns 20 per cent, needed OIO approval for the $200 million bid because as a foreign company it wanted to invest in sensitive New Zealand assets such as farmland.
Yesterday, Landcorp chief executive Chris Kelly said: "Our position hasn't changed, we put in a tender offer, the receiver has that tender offer and he rejected it at the time as he felt there were other offers or offer at the time that were superior to ours. Our position hasn't changed. We are not going to submit another offer. If [KordaMentha's Brendon Gibson or Michael Stiassny] wants to talk to us I'd be happy to discuss it with him."
Kelly said Landcorp's offer was under $200 million but was unconditional and "it didn't have too many ties to it".
The OIO considered the UBNZ group of companies - including UBNZ Trustee and UBNZ Funds Management - to be associates of Natural Dairy, therefore it also needed approval. UBNZ Asset Holdings planned to buy the 16 farms for Natural Dairy, which was then going to buy the remaining 80 per cent of the company. The Serious Fraud Office is investigating the sale and purchase agreements between the companies.
UBNZ already owns four Crafar farms it bought this year. The OIO may apply to the High Court for an order to sell the farms. Gibson said he was waiting for a statement from UBNZ.
"We're waiting to see whether UBNZ is going to do anything at all about it. We are waiting to see what it has to say. We've still got the current contract on track. They have received a decision declining their application and we're waiting to see what their response to that will be. We're waiting to hear from their legal advisers. We have obviously had a preference for the UBNZ deal in terms of value. So we will give it every opportunity. We have waited a long time and we'll wait to see how it pans out."
Asked if Natural Dairy and UBNZ's deal was still an option, Gibson said: "We still have a contract that requires a condition to be satisfied. There has been a decision around that and we are waiting to see what their response to that is, if any at all."

After nearly two decades fishing the pro bass tours, Gerald Swindle has learned a few things, including how to simplify his jig color selections and presentations.
Swindle's session on a simple jig fishing approach is now available on The Bass University TV. A preview is embedded below.
"What I've learned in the last 17 years is the more simple the better," Swindle says. "You go into a tackle store and they have 31,000 colors of jigs, right? You can sit down in a chair and look at them for hours. It's irrelevant. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters with a jig is presentation."
BassU TV memberships are available for $149.99 per year or $15 per month.

I'm currently wondering why I bothered going with a breeder of the gsl of Australia given the current issues I am having with my girl. The latest being demodex. There are many red flags with this breeder that only came to light after I purchased my dog. There is really little I can do except take it as a lesson learned and get on with her life away from her idiot breeder!
So the issue - demodex. The vet was surprised, (as was I), that she had it. She has two spots missing fur, one on her hip and one on her right elbow approximately an inch in diameter (although not completely circular). I did check her I've and it really appeared that she might have just lost a bit of fur rough housing with my other GSD. Except the fur just didn't seem to be growing back. This week her paws started to look, well wrong. She is a white german shepherd so the skin on her paws was really obviously pinker than her normal skin. They also started to look what I will describe as threadbare. Not chucks missing, flaky or scabby skin, but just not enough fur. So that's when I took her off to the vet wondering what on earth was wrong with her THIS time. A skin scraping later and it is confirmed demodex. Seriously just not cool. She will be having injections for the next 6 weeks or so and I am planning on getting her desexed shortly. We are both pretty sure that given her short history, she won't be able to mount a proper immune defense and it will become systemic if left untreated rather than resolving itself.
What can I do to help boost her immune system? Her dry food is a mix of wellness and Canidae. I make a couple of different loafs which I give to both dogs at night. Chicken (or turkey sometimes), brown rice, mixed vegetables and egg is the first one, second is beef, kangaroo, mixed vegetables, brown rice and some pasta and the third is usually a "surprise" in that it can be a combination of whatever I have left over in terms of the meats, pasta, rice and usually an egg. My 12 month old has never had a single health issue and I constantly get asked about her because she has the most plush, super soft and glossiest coat you have ever seen! They also both get beef soup bones as snacks. So apart from the dry food, they eat all human grade food that I make. My 12 month old is on the featherweight end of the scale at 52lbs but she decides when she has eaten enough and just stops - never had a dog like her! She is lean but there are no bones, ribs, vertebrae.
The demodex puppy is 49bs at 18 weeks and is going to be a massive dog! Her parents were both massive dogs. Both my girls are inside dogs but do get to run in the yard.
I'm not sure what I can do diet or supplement wise to boost her immune system. Exercise, sunshine and fresh air are covered. Both are walked morning and night plus I've been taking them swimming at the beach on weekends. I feel it is better to get Summer swimming where I can rather than pounding the pavement walking her developing joints for kms. I do a 35 min loop, drop her home and continue with my other girl for another 45 mins on a different loop.
Any suggests welcome

I got to spend back to back weekends with little guys celebrating their first birthdays- both also have adorable older brothers. I remember celebrating that milestone in our own house and I was mindful to capture the little things that say "baby" that will give way all too soon to big kid features. The curls, tiny toes, chubby legs... documenting those details is one of my favorite things.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) Puerto Rico's governor said Wednesday he would not block a referendum to toughen a ban on same-sex marriage in the U.S. island territory even though he believes the proposed constitutional amendment is unnecessary and divisive.
Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila told reporters he would sign the bill authorizing a May referendum if the measure gets the required two-thirds majority of votes in the island's House of Representatives. It has already passed in the Senate.
Acevedo was asked about his support after the leaders of an association of 2,300 churches, the Pentecostal Brotherhood, said the governor told them in private that he would sign the bill.
"I told them that the people need more agendas that unite them rather than divide them," Acevedo said. "But I also told them that if they have two-thirds of the legislature, well, I cannot get in the way."
A vote has not yet been scheduled in the Puerto Rico's House of Representatives.
Resolution 99, as the measure is known, would amend the Puerto Rican constitution to establish that marriage is between a man and woman and that no other types of unions could be recognized as a marriage. It would make it harder in the future to allow civil unions or grant marital rights to unmarried couples.
Critics of the proposal, including the governor, argue the amendment is unnecessary because local laws already ban same-sex marriage. Opponents say it is discriminatory.

Because NASA's twin STEREO probes are designed to observe the sun, they can see sundiving comets even when the glare becomes intense. Yesterday, Comet ISON joined Earth, Mercury, and Comet Encke in the field of view of STEREO-A's Heliospheric Imager. Click on the image to view ISON's grand entrance:
"The dark 'clouds' of stuff you see coming from the right are density enhancements in the solar wind, and these are what are causing all the ripples you see in comet Encke's tail," explains Karl Battams of NASA's Comet ISON Observing Campaign. "I can pretty much promise you that we're going to see ISON's tail doing that in a couple of day's time, but on a much larger scale!"
Battams points out another exciting development: Comet Encke and Comet ISON are converging for a photogenic close encounter. "No they're not going to hit each other – in reality they are millions of miles apart – but as seen from the STEREO-A spacecraft, they are going to get very close!" he says. "We are probably a couple of days away from seeing two comets almost side-by-side in that camera, with long tails flowing behind them in the solar wind. To say that such an image will be unprecedented is rather an understatement." Stay tuned for that.
NBC News Science
Skywatchers excited as Comet ISON approaches its big day in the sun
As Comet ISON approaches its climactic Thanksgiving swing around the sun, astronomers are getting increasingly excited about the prospects for a memorable show when it comes around the other side.
"It's looking pretty wonderful, to be honest," Naval Research Laboratory astrophysicist Karl Battams, who's part of the NASA Comet ISON Observing Campaign, told NBC News. "It's behaving in terms of its brightness pretty much how we thought it would back in February."
Comet ISON has been sparking stellar expectations ever since its discovery by Russian astronomers in September 2012. But unlike some comet fans, Battams has shied away from predicting it would turn into the "comet of the century." Instead, he favors the saying attributed to veteran comet hunter David Levy: "Comets are like cats; they have tails, and they do precisely what they want."
So far, Comet ISON appears to be doing what Battams and his colleagues want: It's hanging together, and not breaking up as feared. Fresh imagery from NASA's STEREO-A probe shows the comet in one piece — with Comet Encke's tail waving in the solar wind as it approaches its own close encounter.
"There are some really, really nice tail dynamics going on," Battams said.
Even as he gushes over the latest pictures, Battams is keeping that catlike unpredictability of comets in mind — particularly considering that ISON is due to come within only 700,000 miles (1.1 million kilometers) of the sun on Nov. 28. "My opinion this morning is, I'm starting to feel like it's going to survive," Battams said on Friday. "It might actually make it."
If ISON does survive, "I'm feeling comfortable saying that we're going to have a nice night-sky object in December," he said.
How nice? "It was never going to be the 'comet of the century,'" Battams said. "It'd have to be pretty good to out-comet Comet McNaught."
Comet Lovejoy (formally designated C/2011 W3), which wowed Southern Hemisphere observers in 2011, might be a "good analog" if ISON lives up to Battams' expectations. "It's an educated guess," he said.
ISON is on the verge of being too close to the sun for casual observers to make out in dawn's skies, but seasoned skywatchers are still getting some good shots, as evidenced by the pictures submitted to SpaceWeather.com's comet gallery.

Described as 'a handsome and well-appointed Theatre' the Theatre Royal Bournemouth opened in 1882, in the heart of the town in Albert Road. It cost £10,000 and seated 800, between stalls, dress circle, upper circle, pit, gallery, and private boxes. In 1887 it was converted to a Town Hall but re-opened as a theatre in 1892 after refurbishment. During the Second World War years the theatre became a services club. It suffered fire damage in 1943 and was reconstructed. In 1949, it reopened as the New Theatre Royal. In 1962 July, the theatre was converted to the Curzon cinema and bingo club, and in 1971 'twinned' as the Tatler cinema club. The theatre has a good stuccoed façe of four bays and four storeys with giant Corinthian pilasters embracing the upper three storeys. A casino now operates in the lower part of the theatre, whilst the (balcony) cinema closed in 1982 and became a nightclub in 2005. The grid area and flying system remain intact.

|st: log of variables in xtreg
|Tue, 15 Oct 2002 01:06:21 -0500
Dear list, I am running xtreg with time and country effects in a panel with 50 years and 45 countries. My depvar and two covariates are in constant dollars per capita already. I am testing some policy indicator variables, and some coefficients switch signs when I take the log of my dollar-valued variables. What worries me is that the estimates are significant either in the log transform, or without it--but with opposite signs. Any suggestions of what should I do?
