This eco-friendly second floor apartment has all the comforts of home while striving to live in harmony with its gorgeous setting. From the native plants used for landscaping and irrigated with catch-water, to the non-allergenic cleaning practices, low-energy light fixtures, and recycling program, The Nest at Newton Cove is a perfect choice for green and eco-friendly lodging.
From the comforts of your "home away from home", you have a bird's eye view of Alaska's famous Inside Passage and the towering Chilkat Mountains. In the evening you can watch the brightly lit cruise ships sail past as you enjoy the peace and quiet. A morning walk on beach, where you can gather rocks and shells in the sand and enjoy the salty crisp air and beach flowers and grasses, is a great way to start your day. Don't forget to carry your coffee with you!
On any given day you might see seals and sea lions along with several different kinds of birds dipping and diving for their food. We have placed a few reference books in the apartment so you can identify what you see, and Haines has a great library and book store to help you out. Like to fish? Well, throw out your line for one of the five species of salmon and bring one in for dinner while you watch the Orca and Humpback whales cruise by. At the boat harbor in Haines, you can buy fresh caught Dungeness crab for dinner.
Down the road approximately 6 miles is the Chilkoot River and Lake where bear viewing almost guarantees a sighting or two. You can watch the bear at the weir and keep track of the daily salmon count where Alaska Fish and Game track the migration. This is a great spot to throw in your jig and pull out more salmon. Back in The Nest, spend your evenings watching our selection of movies, reading a good book or playing one of the many board games. Enjoy the peaceful sound of the waves and incoming tide hit the rocks on the beach lulling you to sleep.
The Nest is located on Lutak Road: From the center of town at the bank follow the signs to the ferry terminal, approximately 2.4 miles, 2nd house on the left - look up for the flag pole. From the Alaska Marine Ferry Terminal, turn left onto Lutak Road, approximately 1.9 miles, on the right - look up for the flag pole.

Good morning,
As usual my Win2003 Server is making peculiar moves once again. I'm using the standard windows' backup software to DLT tape. As the standard backup software depends on Remote Storage service, it has to be enabled.
Everytime I switch on the Remote Storage Service to Automatic, after a while I check it, and it switches itself to "Disabled" once again. I've checked it, that the remote storage service is depending on the RPC service only.

What about the event log? If this is caused by an error, it would likely be written into the Event Log, my guess - under system.

|Horse (Equus ferus caballus)
McDynamo is a thoroughbred gelding who is a five-time winner of the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Grand National Steeplechase at the Far Hills Races and a three-time honoree with the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Steeplechase horse. McDynamo was sired by Dynaformer.
Owner Michael Moran bought McDynamo for $82,000 at the Keeneland yearling sale in September 1998.[1]
As a three-year-old, McDynamo came in seventh at the Pimlico Race Course in May 2000 in his debut race. He won his next start at Pimlico at 1½-miles, but had just two more starts before being sidelined for a year after surgery to remove a hind ankle chip. He won only one of five races as a four-year old. After unsuccessful efforts at Saratoga Race Course (ridden by Pat Day) and Belmont Park, Moran turned McDynamo to Sanna Hendriks, who specializes in training steeplechasers. McDynamo won his first jump race by 4¼-lengths at Far Hills Races on October 20, 2001.[1]
The 2004 running of the Grade 1 $175,000 Breeders' Cup Steeplechase saw McDynamo, then a 7-year-old gelding coming back for his first race in 11 months after recovering from hock surgery, win the race for a second consecutive year, defeating Hirapour by 1½ lengths in a finishing time of 5:06.8. The race covered a 2⅝-mile distance and jumps over 14 fences. The crowd was estimated at 45,000.[2]
The 2007 running saw McDynamo running for a fifth consecutive title, one of nine horses running for the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Grand National, with a purse of $300,000. At the age of 10, McDynamo was the oldest of 43 horses competing at Far Hills that day. All starters in the race carried 156 pounds.[3]
McDynamo was named Eclipse Award for Outstanding Steeplechase horse in 2003, 2005 and 2006.[1]

Crimecraft: Bleedout PC
- Publisher: Vogster
- Release Date: Dec 4, 2010
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Feb 8, 2011If you want some decent online multiplayer action and don't mind being nickeled and dimed for your trouble, CCBO may be worth a look. The mission variety, consistent skill curve, and twitch-based gameplay of the title distinguish it from the hotkey-laden affairs that others offer. However, it simply does not deliver on the long-term appeal or rewards that a great MMO should.
Mar 9, 2011Overall the game does little to elevate itself beyond being fleetingly entertaining, and other than really enjoying the combat itself there is little reason to stick around for too long.
Aug 29, 2011Crimecraft: Bleedout offers many opportunities to customize your character but it looks like a remake of All Points Bulletin.
Feb 25, 2011In the end, CrimeCraft is kind of a mixed bag. It's not very creative: the gameplay is fun, but incredibly standard. And Vogster's attempts at including PvE in a "PWNS" can be seen as ambitious, but also as a colossal failure. Nonetheless, there is some fun to be had in CrimeCraft, especially if you don't have hundreds of hours of spare time.
Jan 13, 2011An interesting premise and setting is torpedoed by a lackluster presentation, and while Bleedout definitely kicks things up a notch for high-level players, it's hard to recommend Crimecraft for the kind of long-term commitment an MMORPG typically requires.
Jan 26, 2011PvE and PvP are quick and easy to get into, and quests are readily available at any given point in time. If you can overlook the flaws of progression and pacing, you'll find a respectable online shooter that has zero up-front cost, and also has a polished film noir feel if you choose to progress into the episodic content of BLEEDOUT.

Dec 8, 2010This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I am new player to crimecraft i was introduced to it by my brother seven months ago. till that day i was a huge world of warcrat fan but stoped playing after i got in to crime craft. The reason for that is the game paly and story line to the game and the fact that u can do so many things in crime craft. You can pvp or pve or if u wantto have some real fun and you hook up with a gang you can gang battle to see who the best gang really is. Since i have stared playing there has been alot of changes and problem but vogster dose there best to fix any little problem that u find or have. if i was to rate this game right now out of 10 stars i would give it a eight. just cause this is one of the best third person mmos that i have played in along time. I dont think i will ever go back to playing world of warcraft cause it is the same thing over and over. At least here you have a choice of what you can do and the maps are fun some good sniper maps if that what u like to do. There are also some great closed combat maps as well. I think it would be good to check out if you like shooters and mmos i am glad i did cause i found my home and that is the city of sunrise were even though u fight to the death in battle you alway make allies through the city of sunrise.… Full Review »
Aug 30, 2011One of these days, someone will figure out how to make a decent shooter/MMO hybrid, and that person will be fantastically rich. But that dayOne of these days, someone will figure out how to make a decent shooter/MMO hybrid, and that person will be fantastically rich. But that day is not today, and that game is certainly not Crimecraft. What it gains in innovation (by taking elements from successful MMOs and trying to graft them into a shooter), it loses in gameplay and awkward user interfaces. In addition, the graphics and animations are just not up to snuff. The best part of the game is the comic style artwork that tells the story. Great visuals, but they don't save the game from itself.… Full Review »
Dec 9, 2010I really wish this scale let me rate it higher...... it would probably be around a 1,000,000,000 on my scoring table. I found CrimeCraftI really wish this scale let me rate it higher...... it would probably be around a 1,000,000,000 on my scoring table. I found CrimeCraft almost 2 years ago and it has non-stop been blowing my mine since then. Patch after patch released with New Content and fixes that continue to blow my mind. I didnt think it could get any better until I got to Beta Test for the Bleedout expansion, and let me tell u i didnt think it was possible but yet again my mind is blown. I literally find myself at work and school with nothing on my mind except crimecraft, i cant wait to get home or off just so i can play it. Its not even just the game itself i have such a great time interacting with the great player base in chat and on the extremely active game forums were we share videos/pictures/stories and anything else that tickles our fancy and passes time. The game is def on the right track by taking the time to listen to the people who make the game what it is "The Players" I dont see me going anywhere for a long time if this keeps up....... Crime Craft u complete me. P.S. i would give my left arm to play this game if it wouldnt make me horrible at playing it… Full Review »

text: I'm running Windows 8.1. When I save a document in Word 2013 and I begin to enter a tag I use often ("Public Speaking"), Word suggests a short list of tags as I type. That list contains the tag "public speaking anxiety" (with four spaces between "public" and "speaking"). I'd like to replace any occurrences of that ill-begotten tag, but using Windows Explorer when I try to search for these files using SearchTools>OtherProperties>Tags the search only considers the first word of the tag, and treats any parts after the space as another search element. Help please? How can I locate these files so I can change their tags? And while we're at it, do I need to use dashes in tags instead of spaces? Spaces seem to work fine in Word's tagging system, but not in Windows.

Perhaps it can be put down to the inexperience of a Foreign Secretary still struggling to find his own voice. Or maybe there was something about the venue, which has long been associated with the most obstinate strain of British Euro-rejectionism. Whatever the reason, David Miliband delivered a very odd speech to the College of Europe in Bruges yesterday.
Some of the Foreign Secretary's arguments were perfectly sensible, of course. His emphasis on the need for the European Union to focus its energies on promoting free trade, protecting the environment, and tackling religious extremism could not be faulted. And his appeal to the EU to honour its promises to Turkey was timely.
But this was all rather undone by Mr Miliband's strangely belligerent vision of Europe's role in the world. He called for the EU to use "soft and hard power to promote democracy and tackle conflict beyond its borders". Mr Miliband is quite right to describe the lack of European defence coordination as an "embarrassment". But do we really want to export European values through "the hard power of troops", as he implied? Have our leaders learnt nothing from the disaster in Iraq?
There was also a depressing amount in the speech designed to appeal to a Eurosceptic audience back home. Statements such as, "the EU will never be a superpower" and the claim that Europe "is not going to become a superstate", were pretty obviously designed to appeal to the Eurosceptic British press. But this is a dangerous road for the Foreign Secretary to go down.
It is all very well complaining that most Europeans are "bored and angry" with EU institutional reform, as Mr Miliband did yesterday. But it is intellectually dishonest for the Foreign Secretary not to acknowledge that the latest round of institutional reform was partly made necessary by EU enlargement, a process that he singled out elsewhere in his speech for special praise. After the accession of 12 new members, the EU's structures were bound to need an overhaul.
Mr Miliband also said nothing in Bruges about what Britain will contribute to the process of developing the EU into a "model power". Perhaps, instead of delivering stern lectures on the Continent, ministers could make a few more speeches in the UK presenting the case for Europe.
But most disappointing of all was Mr Miliband's desire to diminish the EU. The Foreign Secretary predicted that "Europe will be less important in the world of 2050 than it was in the world of 1950". It certainly will be if all our future foreign secretaries are as lacking in ambition as the present one seems to be.Reuse content

"High quality paper, which has a nice weight and feel. Perfect for those of us who did not get regular seasonal cards out on time."
"I loved this card, not only because it is done in the colors of Ohio State, but also because it was simple yet said everything I wanted to convey to our family and friends. Our family pic fit beautifully."
"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"The standard weight paper was nice and heavy and the colors were vivid. The regular delivery arrived before the expected date I am reordering more today! Will definately use tiny prints for my son's engagement party invitations!"
"The cards are thick and of good quality, and the picture colors came out true. The text print is excellent. They also arrived several days earlier than expected (I ordered standard shipping). My only request is that there was an option for the back that would allow handwritten notes before the cards are sent out."

Clare's POV
My eyes fluttered open to the hoarse screams of my parents. Ugh, not again! What time is it this time? I looked at the alarm clock on my dresser and groaned. 3:30? What sane people fight at three freakin' o'clock in the morning? Oh that's right. My parents. From the sound of it they were just getting started, so I decided to go online. I logged onto Facebook and found Darcy online. So I decided to chat with her.
Clare Edwards: Hey Darcy! I miss you sooo much. How's Kenya? I thought you didn't have internet connection there.
Darcy Edwards: Hey Shortstack. I miss you too. I guess that I should tell you…I'm at an airport! I'm coming up to Toronto for a surprise visit!
Clare Edwards: Really? Oh My Gosh this is so cool! How long are you going to stay?
Darcy Edwards: At least a couple of months…
Clare Edwards: Awesome!
A the ominous crack of a breaking plate suddenly rang through my ears like thunder.
Clare Edwards: I think I should warn you though…Mom and Dad have been fighting. A lot.
Darcy Edwards: Well, then I'm most definetly coming! I should be there tomorrow evening. That's your first day back at Degrassi from break, right? I'll pick you up after school.
Clare Edwards: Oh Yeah! I'm gonna say it now, you won't ever recognize Degrassi if you come to pick me up.
Darcy Edwards: Why? What happened?

It's easy to believe that your favourite celebrities are nice people, partly because they have good PR teams, partly because you want to like them. But deep down we know they're all dicks. Well not Keanu Reeves.
The Matrix star actually seems to be a genuinely nice guy. He's made countless anonymous donations to charities, shared wages with the lower ends of production teams and even gives up his seat on trains.
When it comes to money, Reeves doesn't give a fuck, well at least not as much as most people. When working on "The Devil's Advocate", he gave up millions of his own cut of the film in order to get Al Pacino on board. Then did a similar thing in "The Replacement" to secure Gene Hackman. It's a shame this had to happen, but Keanu Reeves just loves making movies.
Something that's even more noble, however, is what he did during the making of The Matrix films. It is estimated that Reeves gave away $75 million of his Matrix cut to the people that helped make the film, just because he felt they deserved it more. He gave $1 million dollars to every member of the team who helped to create the special effects and costumes. He also gave the entire stunt team of the sequels a Harley Davidson motorcycle, each. I mean, what a guy.
Then there was this special case where Reeves heard about one of the guys at the very bottom of the film production food chain. Someone came forward and gave their account of what happened on Reddit:
"A family friend builds movie sets, doesn't design, is one of the poor dudes that just builds. Anyways he worked on the set for the Matrix and Keanu heard about family trouble he was having and gave him a $20,000 Christmas bonus to help him out. He also was one of the only people on the set that genuinely wanted to know people's names, would say hello and mean it, and would talk to people as they were his peers and not below him just because they were practically making nothing to build a set. I've never heard anyone say Keanu is douche, seems like the nicest person in Hollywood from a second hand experience."
Keanu Reeves. What a legend. I'd like to think I'd do this kind of thing if I was in his position but then again I have had my eyes on this super yacht for a while…

"They are the biggest flopping team in the NBA," Vogel told reporters at Thursday's practice, according to ESPN. "It'll be very interesting (to see) how the referees officiate the series and how much flopping they reward.
According to ESPN, the Heat drew the fourth-most charging calls in the NBA during the regular season. "Every drive to the basket, they have guys not making a play on the ball, but sliding in front of drivers," Vogel said. "Oftentimes they're falling down even before contact is even being made. It'll be interesting to see how the series is officiated."

The pastel tones of the Nyhavn Vase ensure contrasts, which act harmonically because of the soft colours. The colours are also the ones that gave this Vase its name, since the historic Nyhavn square in Copenhagen inspired the vases as one of the most famous places of interest of the Danish capita.

As part of my daily report on new 52 week lows, I recently came across M&F Worldwide (NYSE:MFW). They hit another new 52 week low of $21.36 on January 21. Ironically enough, Barron's had a piece on them in the January 24 edition. After reading this article, I encourage you to take a look at that article: Cheap Stock… With One Big Catch.
While the Barron's piece had some nice background information, and touched on some of the reasons for the recent drop in price, it generally overlooked the two immediate reasons for the drop. The first is the government debate about banning menthol cigarettes. The obvious stock under attack is Lorillard (NYSE:LO), the leading menthol cigarette manufacturer. It's been hit 10% since the beginning of the year. Not a happy return over a three week period when the overall market has been up. The other reason is a recent acquisition which took a big chunk of their cash. However, even with this, M&F is generating a tremendous amount of free cash relative to its market cap.
Let's go into an overview of the company before discussing the valuation. M&F is a holding company with two subsidiaries:
Harland Clarke Holdings contains Harland Clarke, which makes checks and other related forms, Harland Financial Services, which provides technology services to financial institutions, and Scantron. I'm sure we all remember using Scantron tests while in school. Scantron recently purchased GlobalScholar, a privately held education technology company, for $140 million. This is the transaction, which while positive in the long-term, is causing concern in the short term because of the chunk of cash laid out for the purchase.
Mafco is the second subsidiary and makes licorice extract. 67% of their sales go to cigarette companies to make menthol cigarettes. It should be noted that this is worldwide, though, and even if menthol cigarettes are banned in the U.S., which is very, very unlikely, you've still got international sales to tobacco companies and 33% of sales going to non-tobacco-related products. While cigarette sales are generally dropping in developed countries, they are rising in the developing world. Also, considering this part of the company makes up less than 10% of annual revenue, it should not be much of a concern.
Ronald Perelman, of Revlon (NYSE:REV) fame, is the chairman and controls 43% of the shares. Renowned small cap value investor, Michael Price of MFP Investors, owns .5% of the company.
The valuation here is crazy. At today's price, the market cap is about $415 million, yet the company generates $200 million of free cash flow annually. Because of amortization, their net income figures are intentionally depressed, but will still be more than $6 in 2010 after reporting more than $6 in 2009. They've already reported $4.81 in the first nine months, and estimates for Q4 are $1.55. That gives you a PE of 3.37. Plus, FCF is half of the market cap. Even with most of their revenue coming from a declining business, this is pretty cheap.
Barron's thinks the licorice business alone could sell for $10/share. Yes, its check business is in trouble over the long term, but the GlobalScholar purchase shows that the company can adapt and move away from old businesses and into new. They wouldn't have made that purchase with all cash if they had any concerns about the debt load. Given their cash generation, I agree with them.
M&F Worldwide does have a little bit of a sordid history. You can look up Perelman's self-dealings with Panavision, but that was a decade ago and obviously didn't affect the stock price when it was nearly $70 in 2007.
In short, can they handle their debt load? Yes. Will the check business disappear tomorrow? No. If you believe those two things, it's very difficult to defend the current stock price.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Reviews of Fort Lincoln Senior Citizen's Village
A Clinical Social Worker August 31, 2011
I visited this facility
This housing is in towers in northeast DC, a complex that takes up one whole block. All the living spaces are senior apartments, subsidized by HUD, and residents must meet low-income level requirements. The place is well managed and clean. The housing is very secure""and management is very strict about who is allowed as a resident: no children or other family members. Fort Lincoln is strictly for seniors who can no longer live in their homes, but cannot afford to live in some of the pricier living places. For those who need assistance with care, Medicaid and other government programs will help pay for aides; there are no caregivers onsite. There is a lobby area""and a meal delivery option served in the common dining room. There are some activities onsite and a few things aimed at having the residents engaged and involved""to Wal-Mart and the casinos. There is also the opportunity for some who live there to get involved in the residents council. One potential drawback: Those who do need more care than is available here will have to move.

Chris Bosh and the Value of a Foul
It's common sense. If a team builds its central scheme on one end of the floor around the skills and abilities of an individual player, it behooves the opponents of said team to separate the heart from the beast, so to speak. During the heyday of the Steve Nash Phoenix Suns, the Suns – at least in 2007-08, for when we have appropriate data – had a historically great offense when Nash was on the floor. When he hit the bench for about 15 minutes a game, the offense sunk to league-worst levels.
There was simply no way for Phoenix to replace what Nash gave them, and teams were blessed with every minute he wasn't on the court. Unfortunately for those gearing up for a campaign against the Suns, point guards aren't the easiest players to foul out. If a guard doesn't want to get in the way of contact, he can step aside and let bigger, taller players handle the situation.
Those big men don't have the same luxury, especially if they're at the core of a defensive system that sends all traffic directly into their chests. Like Nash, the side of the floor that Hibbert specializes in is operating at historic efficiency. Unlike Nash, Hibbert has to fight off fouls for the right to stay on the court all game long.
Defense is a bit of a different story, of course. It's easier to sustain defensive efficiency when individuals hit the bench because the right system, with the right effort and the right execution, can cover up all sorts of blemishes. So even though the Pacers' defense is effectively Shiva, God of Death when Hibbert plays, it still manages to function at the level of a Top-5 defense when his backup, Ian Mahinmi, takes over rim-protecting duties.
Still, you take away a team's primary source of ground and aerial defense and they become all the more susceptible to plays such as. . .
From historic to just really good is incentive enough for any team to try and get Hibbert into foul trouble, but the Miami HEAT – against whom Hibbert often scores like the stuff of legend – enjoy the added bonus that without their starting center, the Pacers go from an average offense to league-worst depths. Given the massive tradeoffs in efficiency, a foul on Hibbert is worth its weight in gold.
"Obviously, when he's out of the game they are not the same offensively, no question," Shane Battier said. "So there's a premium on Hibbert fouls."
Fouls wouldn't be quite so valuable if they were in abundant supply. They're in demand because Hibbert has become so adept at avoiding them – committing fewer than four fouls per 36 minutes. He isn't going to get into trouble by mere accidents alone.
"You have to be aggressive against Hibbert," Erik Spoelstra said. "He's earned the respect of being, really, a phenomenal defender at the rim and in the paint. He's improved so much each year and now he's invented, really, and created a game unto itself.
"But you can't stop being aggressive because of his reputation. You have to make plays at the rim but you have to be smart about it."
During their loss in Indiana last week, the HEAT struggled to catch Hibbert at a disadvantage. When they ran pick-and-rolls they took the jumpers conceded by Hibbert's stay-back-and-beckon style of defense. When they attacked Hibbert in the paint, they attacked at angles that allowed him to beat the ball to a spot and establish his own vertical air space. In turn, Hibbert played 37 minutes, posted 24 points and was generally a terror.
A week later, the HEAT found their feng shui. Three fouls in the first half kept Hibbert's minutes down, and another pair early in the third had him sitting for more than 12 consecutive minutes of game time. And those crucial final fouls were the results of Chris Bosh mixing things up.
"Last game, I gave them too much of the same look," Bosh said. "Sometimes the progression is different, you have to really look at what's going on and the past few games I've been just trying to do a better job of being aware of my situation and my surroundings and mixing it up. Because if you give them a healthy dose of the same thing you know where you're going."
It's a difficult balance Bosh has to strike, and one that's easy to take for granted. He's one of the most efficiency jump-shooters in the league and he can get an open pick-and-pop jumper just about whenever he wants against Indiana's chosen style. Sometimes the jumper is the right play, especially when even beating Hibbert leads you right into a pack of defenders.
But jumpers don't create contact. Jumpers keep Hibbert on the floor. Even though there's efficiency to be had on the fringes of the paint, Bosh has to also put pressure on the paint in addition to the efforts of his teammates.
"We do understand that with Hibbert on the court they're an unbelievable defensive team," Dwyane Wade said. "You do want to put pressure on him, make him make decisions and put him in situations. Some games it worked for us and some games it doesn't."
It worked on Wednesday, not because Miami's players barreled into the lane at every chance, but they created and utilized enough of the right opportunities.
"You can't spend your time just trying to make him foul," Battier said. "It has to come out of the flow of the offense. Some of the best attacks were when we were not trying to attack him directly, where you make him slide and then recover, [and] try to block your shot."
"Chris mixed it up enough, with his rolls to the rim on pick-and-rolls, dives in different areas and then the catch-and-go's," Spoelstra said. "You can live with the calls, whether you get them or not."
You go at Hibbert, you're going to lose out on some judgment calls. That's the way the game is. But you can't put the officials in position to issue judgment without first stepping into the arena. And even though a straight isolation isn't always the best way to attack Hibbert, it can be the different look that sits him down.
"[You get him] back-pedaling," Battier said. "[Hibbert's] strength is being able to see the play develop and use the 'verticality rule' to his advantage, which he does very well. But when you get him moving laterally that's when the verticality rule isn't in effect."
A couple different looks get Hibbert on the bench, and now you're getting the Pacers to overcompensate with help in the paint, opening up three-point looks on a night when the perimeter was failing you.
"With Roy not being out there [it] caused us to be in to help and protect the rim even more," Paul George said. "They were just putting it on, driving recklessly to the basket, forcing rotations, swinging it and finding guys open.
Now, when you attack from the perimeter, you're meeting players at the rim that stand a little shorter than one of the league's elite defensive players.
"Him not being on the floor limited us defensively sometimes," George said.
Thanks to some late threes Miami beat the Pacers Wednesday to even the season series, but that's largely beside the point right now. Regular season games between these teams are still trial runs, and in fact the Pacers actually played Miami to a relative standstill as Hibbert sat in this one. What's going to matter is whether or not the HEAT can draw these fouls on Hibbert in the playoffs.
It won't happen in every game, either. With fouls there's simply too much you cannot control. You can't control whether or not Hibbert gets called for a charge as he and Battier collided in the first quarter, or whether he'll step on the foot of Mario Chalmers in the second and get whistled for another. There's too much randomness to ever truly depend on foul trouble. But it can be part of your process. Follow your process, find the right balance and draw a couple pressure fouls out of Hibbert in every game and a couple random whistles put you over the top and Hibbert on the bench.
But if the HEAT don't put enough pressure on the paint, there's no call to be made. They didn't win a mid-December game because of foul calls – those fouls were simply a positive result of the HEAT seeking the more probable path to success.

He's not right. the constitutional laws overide state laws in the areas covered by it.
So says this guy?
2nd Amendment Victory? An Opposing View – Tenth Amendment Center
I'm disturbed because I think he's right. But that would mean giving up some hard-fought "victories" (at least in theory). And in light of our current political reality, the sovereignty of the states is a distant and fading memory. It seems the only protection we have is in the form of incorporating federal limitations on the states.The recent Supreme Court case, McDonald v. City of Chicago, has gun rights advocates celebrating. The National Rifle Association and the true champion of gun rights, Gun Owners of America, are hailing this as a landmark decision. As an avid gun enthusiast, collector, NRA Member and Pistol Instructor and life time member of GOA, I am deeply troubled. Let me explain why.
The Bill of Rights, including the 2nd Amendment, were never intended as a check on the powers of the States. They are intended as a check on the Federal government ONLY. The Preamble of the Bill of Rights opens with: "THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution". Prevent misconstruction or abuse of power from what? The Federal government of course!
In the Supreme Court case Barron v. Baltimore 32 U.S. 243 (1833), Chief Justice Marshall stated: "But it is universally understood, it is a part of the history of the day, that the great revolution which established the Constitution of the United States was not effected without immense opposition. Serious fears were extensively entertained that those powers which the patriot statesmen who then watched over the interests of our country deemed essential to union, and to the attainment of those invaluable objects for which union was sought, might be exercised in a manner dangerous to liberty. In almost every convention by which the Constitution was adopted, amendments to guard against the abuse of power were recommended. These amendments demanded security against the apprehended encroachments of the General Government — not against those of the local governments. In compliance with a sentiment thus generally expressed, to quiet fears thus extensively entertained, amendments were proposed by the required majority in Congress and adopted by the States. These amendments contain no expression indicating an intention to apply them to the State governments. This court cannot so apply them".
Can't be much clearer. The Bill of Rights, including the 2nd Amendment, are restrictions against the Federal government NOT the States.
Why then has supposedly Conservative Justices voted to expand the power of the Federal government by interfering in a clearly State matter? How did they come to their conclusions? Well, they would argue and have argued that the Fourteenth Amendment changed everything and made the Bill of Rights enforceable on the States. But does it? So many Supreme Court Justices, lawyers and supposed Constitutional Scholars agree that it does, so therefore, it does! But are they correct? Lets take a look. Here is the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment:
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Why was this Amendment passed? Well, it was ratified July 9, 1868 a few years after a bloody war. Some of the Southern States were trying to find ways to basically undue the 13th Amendment which freed the slaves. Laws were being passed that kept Black's from enjoying their newly won freedom. The Fourteenth Amendment was passed to protect the rights of a recently enslaved people who were not considered citizens. This Amendment bestowed United States citizenship (different from State citizenship) on them. The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified nearly two years later, then bestowed upon them the right to vote.
Don't take my word for it, here is Justice Henry Billings Brown in his majority Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) opinion:
"…but it was said generally that its main purpose (the 14th Amendment)was to establish the citizenship of the negro, to give definitions of citizenship of the United States and of the States, and to protect from the hostile legislation of the States the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, as distinguished from those of citizens of the States." He goes on…"The object of the amendment was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, but, in the nature of things, it could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political, equality, or a commingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either."
Now, just hold on all of you who are going to argue about this horrible, racist decision that upheld separate but equal laws. I add this because it shows a Supreme Court Justice's understanding of what the 14th Amendment meant.
Next, another Supreme Court decision that lets us know what the true intent of the Fourteenth Amendment was:
The Slaughter House Cases (1873)
Justice Samuel Freeman Miller who was appointed by none other than Abraham Lincoln wrote extensively on the meaning of the 14th Amendment, particularly the "Privileges and immunities" clause. In his Slaughterhouse opinion he writes: "…We think this distinction and its explicit recognition in this amendment (14th) of great weight in this argument, because the next paragraph of this same section (1st paragraph, section 2), which is the one mainly relied on by the plaintiffs in error, speaks only of privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, and does not speak of those of citizens of the several States. The argument, however, in favor of the plaintiffs rests wholly on the assumption that the citizenship is the same, and the privileges and immunities guaranteed by the clause are the same.
He goes on…."Of the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the United States, and of the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the State, and what they respectively are, we will presently consider; but we wish to state here that it is only the former which are placed by this clause under the protection of the Federal Constitution, and that the latter, whatever they may be, are not intended to have any additional protection by this paragraph of the amendment."
An Abraham Lincoln appointee none the less!
So, what does this all mean? We have been hoodwinked by the Federal government and its minions in the Supreme Court. The Federal Frankenstein Monster continues to usurp power at the expense of the State governments and supposed Conservatives are marching in tune. They have drank the Kool-Aid and now believe in National Socialism.
We don't want or need a Federal government interfering in a States right to regulate firearms. Remember, if Obama gets to pick a few more Justices a 5-4 majority could switch the other way and the Supreme Court could rule that the Federal government has the right to ban all firearms. Then what? The States were and should be the defenders of your individual freedoms. They did long before the current Constitution was in force. Here are some State Constitutions:
Virginia (1776)
SEC. 13. That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free State; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
New York (1777)
XL. And whereas it is of the utmost importance to the safety of every State that it should always be in a condition of defence; and it is the duty of every man who enjoys the protection of society to be prepared and willing to defend it; this convention therefore, in the name and by the authority of the good people of this State, doth ordain, determine, and declare that the militia of this State, at all times hereafter, as well in peace as in war, shall be armed and disciplined, and in readiness for service. That all such of the inhabitants of this State being of the people called Quakers as, from scruples of conscience, may be averse to the bearing of arms, be therefrom excused by the legislature; and do pay to the State such sums of money, in lieu of their personal service, as the same; may, in the judgment of the legislature, be worth. And that a proper magazine of warlike stores, proportionate to the number of inhabitants, be, forever hereafter, at the expense of this State, and by acts of the legislature, established, maintained, and continued in every county in this State.
Massachusetts (1780)
Art. XVII. The people have a right to keep and to bear arms for the common defense. And as, in time of peace, armies are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be maintained without the consent of the legislature; and the military power shall always be held in an exact subordination to the civil authority and be governed by it.
SEC. 15. Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.
We are supposed to live in a Federal Republic where certain enumerated rights were DELEGATED to the Federal government. If you depend on the Federal government, like the NRA and GOA are doing now, you seek the help of the Devil. The States are where sovereignty resides. If the people of Chicago elect anti-gun politicians who will take away your right to defend yourself. So be it.
If the citizens of the Peoples Republic of New York allow their elected officials to trample our rights. Shame on us for not trying to defeat them. But if the people of Vermont and Alaska, Montana and Tennessee want to allow their citizens to own machine guns and carry firearms openly, thank God! Who is the Federal government to tell them they can't? The Supreme Court decision in Mc Donald v. Chicago is just plain wrong and all Conservatives and Gun lovers who support this should rethink it.
If the States can't make their own laws concerning Firearms then where does it end? The Federal government will and does dictate every aspect of your lives. The air you breathe, the food you eat, the company you keep and so on and so on. Let's not be allured by the siren song of the Supreme Court and their supposed defense of our right to keep and bear arms. It's none of their business. They are leading us right to the rocks and destruction.

He's not right. the constitutional laws overide state laws in the areas covered by it.
Some people would rather have their state take away their rights than have the feds affirm and protect them. They are idiots in my opinion.
Flea-bitten range bums don't usually stop in INGO. Life here is just a little too quick for 'em.
It's true that the BoR was intended as a limitation only on federal government. And the 14th was passed specifically because states were attempting to circumvent the 13th amendment by using state legislation to keep blacks from enjoying the "privileges and immunities" of (federal) citizenship. So the argument is that the "privileges and immunities" are limited somehow.
I've just re-read the 14th and I'm changing my mind (again). I think he's wrong too. I don't know how anybody can infer that there is a limit on which privileges and immunities are intended. Nor do I understand how one can separate the citizenship of an individual between the country and the state. We are citizens of the USA, but we are residents of a state.
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
Which, if I read it correctly, states that the Laws of the US supersede State laws. Granted I'm not a Constitutional scholar by any means. But it would definitely state the the Constitution overrides all laws as the supreme law, and thus the BoR falls under this distinction as well.
Some one feel free to contradict me if I'm wrong.

If those clauses mean what you seem to think they mean, why was it not until the 1920's, nearly 60 years after their ratification and after their framers were long dead, that it was "discovered" that they incorporated select parts of the bill of rights? Remember, selective incorporation is still the rule, rights like the right to a grand jury are specifically excluded by the SCOTUS.
Pragmatically, we are so far down the road of federal supremacy and subordination of state sovriegnty that it makes little sense not to incorporate the 2nd amendment. However, legally it is not the correct thing to do. Rather, we the people should demand that its mirror language in the Indiana constitution be given effect:
Anyone who thinks the feds are going to provide you with any real "protection" of your rights is living a dream and begging for even more federal meddling outside of the enumerated powers.Section 32. Arms--Right to bear
Section 32. The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.
i do believe the states are more sovereign than the federal government though. Fargo, your right. things are too far gone to uderstand or even attempt to understand or rather, enforce things the way some was meant to be. one thing i do think is that the federal government was intended by our founders to be small. only large enough to protect the collective states from foreign invasion. its a shame where our country is at today.
Furthermore, I can definitely see the ruling outcome of the Barron v Baltimore case clearly stating exactly what you're saying.
But let me throw this at you. This is through another forum I read, and was kind of curious where this goes. Bear in mind, it's kind of long.
Did the 2nd Amendment originally apply to only the Fed govt? Or state and local too?
This question is a spinoff from another thread, which deserves a separate thread of its own.
One of the most important results of the recent Supreme Court decision McDonald vs. Chicago (the gun-ban case), is the Court's statement that the 2nd amendment applies to city and state governments ACROSS THE COUNTRY, as well as the Federal govt.
This whole idea that "The 2nd amendment originally was meant to restrict only the Fed govt, not the states or cities", and which this USSC decision has finally changed, has always baffled me. The amendments themselves, have always specified which government(s) they are supposed to apply to. And where they don't name specific governments, that means the Framers meant them to apply to ALL governments in the country: Federal, state, and local.
The amendments (at least in the Bill of Rights) are, of course, restrictions on GOVERNMENT, not restrictions on people. Government isn't allowed to restrict this, or that right cannot be infringed BY GOVERNMENT, etc.
But look at the first two amendments. The first one starts by saying, "Congress shall make no law...." restricting or mandating religion, restricting freedom of speech, and several other things. That clearly says that it was originally a restriction on ONLY THE FEDERAL government - that's what it's plain language explicitly says. And a look at history shows that the Framers had good reasons to confine the 1st amendment's restrictions to only the Fed. In fact, when the Constitution and BOR were written and ratified, most states had official, state-sponsored religions! Often a different one for different states. And the 1st amendment was carefully written to NOT mess with that! It was designed to prevent the FED from mandating an official religion for the entire country, and to prevent it from restricting or banning any particular religion anywhere in the country. The States were to have the ability to do those things, but not the Fed. Same deal for the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc.
The 2nd amendment, however, is not like that. It is a flat ban on government restrictions on ordinary people's right to own and carry personal guns, swords, etc. (and it even provdes an explanation of why)... and it does NOT confine that ban to any particular government like the 1st does. And since it doesn't say which government(s) in the U.S. it applies to, that means it applies to ALL of them: Federal, state, city, etc. (Does anyone think it was supposed to apply to NO governments? Then what was the point in writing it at all?). That was the clear intention of the people who wrote and ratified it. Most of them were lawyers, and were keenly aware of the importance of such wording in a legal document. Specifying on "Congress" in the 1st, and not specifying any target govt in the 2nd, was no accident.
The Framers abhorred a powerful central government controlling large parts of societies. Their philosophy was that if something had to be controlled by government, it should be done on the smallest, most local level possible. Hence the design of the Constitution, which provided for a central government whose powers were limited to those listed, while state and local government's powers were NOT limited, except for a few things specifically listed in the Constitution.
The Framers weren't blind to the idea that SOME things should be universally banned throughout a country, whether the states liked it or not, and the Bill of Rights was designed to do this. Indeed, most amendments in the BOR named things govt was restricted from doing in criminal trials... and it was the State and local govts who conducted the vast majority of criminal trials. Those amendments do not say what govt they are supposed to restrict... but clearly they were intended to restrict state and local governments, as well as the Fed.
Does anyone think that the Framers intended to say that Federal courts could not put people in jeopardy twice for the same crime, but state and local courts COULD??? Of course not - they meant that NO govt (Fed, state, local) could impose double jeopardy in a criminal trial. Especially since nearly all criminal trials at the time, were conducted by state and local governments. But the 5th amendment contains no language specifying "all governments" - the Framers considered it obvious that that's what it meant, and so it does.
Or do you think that the Framers wanted criminal suspects to be provided with lawyers, only for trials in Federal courts, but people could be DENIED a laywer when being tried in state or local criminal courts? Of course not - the 6th amendment means that a suspect must have a lawyer provided whether his trial is in Fed, state, or local courts. Yet the 6th includes no language saying so - it merely says that the trial must be held in the area where the crime was committed. But it was clearly intended to apply to ALL courts, not just the Fed courts. Does anyone disagree?
Do suspects in significant crimes get jury trials only in Federal courts, but they can be denied jury trials in state or local courts? Again, of course not - but the 7th amendment doesn't say it includes state and local govt courts. The framers simply and clearly intended this amendment to apply to states and local govts, as well as the Fed, and we have always taken it that way... correctly.
Can anyone claim that state and local courts CAN impose cruel and unusual punishments, and that only the Fed is forbidden to do so? Again, of course not. Fed, state, and local governments are ALL forbidden by the 8th amendment from doing that... though the 8th doesn't explicitly say that it applies to state and local.
The 2nd amendment is no different. Like the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th amendments, it does not explicitly say which govt(s) it applies to. But jumping to the conclusion that it does NOT apply to the state and local govts while all the others DO apply, is farfetched to the point of being silly.
So where do people get the notion that the 2nd amendment didn't apply to state and local governments? Sure, it's "generally accepted". Just as "black people are inferior" was generally accepted, or "Only landowners can vote". Does "general acceptance" make it true, or even a good idea?
Certainly not.
Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito wrote into his Opinion in the recent case McDonald vs. Chicago, that "The 2nd amendment originally applied only to the Federal government,", before going on to state that the 14th amendment now changed that. But he never offered any citation or other support for his idea of the 2nd's original jurisdiction... because there is none, aside from "other people said so", with an equal lack of justification or backing.
In fact, the 2nd amendment has always been a ban on ANY government in the U.S. restricting the right to own and carry personal weapons. To consider it anything else, flies in the face of the clear meaning of nearly every other amendment in the BOR. In fact, only amendments that specifically declare particular government(s), are the ones that don't apply to ALL governments. And there is only one such amendment in the BOR: the 1st, which explicitly says "CONGRESS shall make no law....".
The 1st amendment's restriction to only "Congress", does not extend to the 2nd, any more than it extends to the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th amendments. The 2nd amendment has ALWAYS forbidden state and local governments from infringing on the right to keep and bear arms, as well as the Federal government.
This fact has been important (and ignored) for hundreds of years... until yesterday, June 28, 2010. On that date, the Supreme Court finally acknowledged that the 2nd applies to State and Local governments too. I guess all's well that ends well, even if the Supremes arrived at the right conclusion by the wrong route. They have finally gotten it right... that's the important part.

Perhaps, in answer to your question, there was never a need to "discover" incorporation until this point. Perhaps states had previously been operating under the premise that no government has the power or authority to take what God has given man. Inalienable and inherent means just that. Why would a state be allowed to do what a federal government could not? Government, regardless of the scope, is still government. And I cannot imagine that the framers considered state governments to be wholly different in scope and nature from the federal government.
Any student of history will recognize that governments only grow in power. The fact that there was a need for incorporation at all only proves that states were moving in that direction. Perhaps it was the only legal way to prevent tyranny on a state level. I don't know. Just throwing out ideas.
What I do know is this: just because something is done a particular way doesn't make it right or even legal. States have no more authority to trample on the rights of its residents than the federal government does. Or else inalienable doesn't mean what we think it means.
Moreover, selective incorporation is a judicial farce. The very idea that that incorporation can be applied in a pick-and-choose fashion ignores, once again, the inalienable nature of our rights. It either applies to all of them or none of them. That the courts saw fit to piecemeal the process does not make it right. It only made it precedent.
I reject the premise that "the way it's done is the way it should be." It is NOT the standard by which I judge issues.
I agree with you on the first part about the sovereignty of the states being subordinated almost out of existence. However, to take the side of the author in the article necessarily requires accepting as satisfactory the premise that a portion of the population can infringe on the liberties of their neighbors through the power and authority of the legislator. Tyranny is tyranny. That it is wielded through the proper legal channels doesn't make it acceptable or right.Pragmatically, we are so far down the road of federal supremacy and subordination of state sovriegnty that it makes little sense not to incorporate the 2nd amendment. However, legally it is not the correct thing to do. Rather, we the people should demand that its mirror language in the Indiana constitution be given effect:
The hang-ups on the legalistic arguments of this debate ignore the most basic issue of what it means to be free.
I agree with this as well. However, since recent times has shown little evidence of respect by the population, state legislatures, or Congress, of any of the judiciary on ANY level for the sovereignty and supremacy of the INDIVIDUAL, what would suggest we do?Anyone who thinks the feds are going to provide you with any real "protection" of your rights is living a dream and begging for even more federal meddling outside of the enumerated powers.
I'm not being snarky. It's a thought that consumes me at times because it's a snowball's chance in hell that rule of law can be used to restore this country to its intended purpose(s). The alternatives are unsettling, to say the least.

GW Volleyball Downs Dayton, 3-1, for Key A-10 Win
Three Players Register Double-Digit Kills as Colonials Top Flyers For First Time Since 2002
Nov. 1, 2013
WASHINGTON - Junior Kelsey Newman posted her 10th career double-double with a match-high 21 kills and 17 digs as the George Washington volleyball team defeated Dayton, 3-1, on Friday night at the Charles E. Smith Center. Set scores were 25-18, 20-25, 27-25, 25-23.
The win marks the Colonials' first victory over the Flyers since November 22, 2002, a span of 16 consecutive meetings. Friday's win is also GW's second straight victory and seventh win in its past eight outings.
GW (12-11, 7-2 A-10) was able to dispatch the Flyers in four sets despite Dayton (10-12, 4-6 A-10), the A-10's top blocking unit, registering 13.5 team blocks. The Colonials hit .194 in the match with 64 kills as two other players joined Newman with double-digit winners.
The Colonials led wire-to-wire in the first set in a 25-18 victory. GW limited Dayton to just six kills in the opening frame while hitting .256 (18k-7e-43a) and converting 73 percent (14-of-19) of sideout point opportunities.
Dayton rebounded in the second set and forced 13 attack errors before posting a 25-18 win to tie the match at 1-1.
In the third set, the Colonials hit a match-best .292 with just six attack errors and survived a late rally to take a 2-1 lead in the match with a 27-25 win.
GW led 23-21 late in the set, but Dayton responded out of a time out by tying the match at 24-24, which in turn forced a GW timeout. Out of the break, a kill by freshman Chidima Osuchukwu put the Colonials in front 25-24, but the Flyers answered again to force a deadlock at 25-25. Newman's winner put the Colonials ahead at 26-25 and sophomore Maddy Doyle's clutch service ace clinched the set, putting GW ahead 2-1 in the match.
The Colonials got off to a slow start in the fourth set, facing deficits of 7-4 and 11-9, before rallying to tie the set at 11-11. From there, GW erupted for an 8-3 run to take a commanding 19-14 lead, from which Dayton would not recover.
Following a timeout, the Colonials continued to apply pressure, but the Flyers chipped away at the lead and trailed by just two points at 21-19. On the next ball, a kill by junior Gabrial Rushton put GW ahead 22-19. Dayton scored two of the next three points before senior Rachael Goss' kill clinched the match with a 25-23 victory.
Goss and junior Landon Garvik each joined Newman in double-digit kills. Goss registered her ninth career double-double with 16 kills and 15 digs, while Garvik added 10 kills and two block assists.
Freshman Emily Clemens facilitated the offense with a career-high 52 assists in addition to 14 digs and three kills, securing her seventh double-double of the season.
Sophomore Maddy Doyle was GW's top passer on the evening, registering 17 digs.
Rushton added five kills and three block assists and Osuchukwu posted nine kills and one solo rejection.
GW returns to action on Saturday night when it hosts Duquesne at 7 p.m. in the annual BUFF OUT MATCH.
