The NCAA Rules Committee is in the "reconsideration and consideration" phase of its process, and feedback from various parties is casting doubt on the face-off proposals, specifically the elimination of the motorcycle grip.
Committee chair Jon Hind said negative feedback has "overwhelmingly" been about the face-off items. The IMLCA, one of the many groups that Hind has been interacting with since the proposals were released, is in the process gathering feedback from its members and has initially expressed objections to the elimination of the motorcycle grip, according to an email within the coaches group.
However, IMLCA President and Furman head coach Richie Meade said the review of the proposals was normal and doesn't necessarily mean that the organization will recommend changes.
"What's being done with that feedback, I wouldn't characterize that as taking exception with what the Committee did," Meade said Thursday. "I think the leadership is more in line with what the Committee proposed than not. My view as a coach and the president of the IMLCA is that their recommendations are very strong. I think the IMLCA is generally in agreement. But this is not unusual, there's always a follow-up opportunity for feedback."
Meade echoed Hind's sentiments that the face-off rules — and the moto-grip stipulation, particularly — were most discussed, but emphasized a decision hadn't been made.
"I think that particular issue is obviously the most hotly contested one at this point," Meade said. "There's been really good dialogue among our membership. We have not formulated a formal position as an organization to address that. There's been a lot of feedback and that feedback's being evaluated."
Hind and the Rules Committee have been accepting feedback from various interested parties and groups via email, voicemails and, in the case of the coaches association, a conference call to discuss the proposals.
After face-off concerns, the stick-stringing proposals are distant second in terms of reaction, and there have been minimal concerns over doing away with the horn for substitutions according to Hind.
"We'll all cross-reference each other with the different points of view from different constituents who have weighed in. And during this period, we have a phase where we can think about and reconsider what we have proposed prior to the oversight panel," Hind said. "And certainly, it's at the discretion of the oversight panel whether or not they reconsider or amend anything. They certainly have full range to do whatever they choose to do with all of the different rules proposals."
The Rules Committee is conducting another survey of head coaches as part of the normal feedback process, in which the coaches can react to the proposed changes. The Rules Committee in September will consider the surveys in addition to other feedback it has received. At that time it may reaffirm its proposals, make adjustments or retract them before they are viewed by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel.
Meade took pains to communicate that he was impressed by the job the Committee had done procedurally, saying as a Rules Committee veteran, it's the best job the group's ever done.
"In terms of process and professionalism, I don't think the NCAA Committee could've conducted themselves any more professionally," Meade said. "It's their job to make these decisions and they came in knowing there were some pressing issues to discuss. It was a pretty powerful and strong mandate that the pace of the game needed to be addressed. I think they did a good job addressing it."
The rule proposals were released last week and included sweeping changes across many parts of the game in an effort to speed up pace of play. Those proposals must be formally approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which is scheduled to meet via conference call in September. If approved, the changes would be effective for the 2013 season.
The Playing Rules Oversight Panel has a narrower scope in which it can approve or deny proposals; it's charge is to approve or deny proposals on a specific set criteria. Hind explained: "They will look at the proposed changes closely with respect to their charge. Their charge is to look at potential safety concerns, financial impact or negative impact on the image or integrity of the game. If they view any of the proposed changes we've made in light of those three initiatives, or if the feedback from the various constituents raise concern in those three areas, my sense is they would act against our proposals," Hind said.
It is Hind's first rule-changing year on the committee so he has not dealt first-hand with submitting a proposal to the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, but his impression and the impression of others involved is that it is in no way a formality this year.
After the conference call with Hind and the IMCLA, there was a sense that coaches group supported the 30-second countdown after a stall warning, the new stick specifications and the quicker restarts, according to the email.
The IMLCA did come away with objections to the face-off proposals — the elimination of the moto-grip specifically — and objection to the elimination of the substitution horn, the email said. As Meade affirmed, the group has not formally submitted its concerns to the Rules Committee.
Face-off specialists have been public in their disapproval of some of the face-off changes, notably the elimination of the motorcycle grip.
The IMLCA is clearly a constituency with a vested interest in the rules proposals, but it is one of many groups with something at stake. Hind has heard from many, including a large number of alums of the game, current and former college players, high school players and their parents, as well as college coaches. He has received feedback from just a few refs.
Some feedback has been hostile.
"Early on, I was [surprised at hostile feedback]. I'm not now," Hind said. " I have a better feel and a better understanding of where they're coming from, so I understand the emotion involved."
The 30-second countdown after the stall warning, which was pitched as the centerpiece of the proposal, has not received the massive attention of the face-off proposals, but those who do have issue with it have told Hind it doesn't go far enough to alleviate pace of play concerns.
"No one was voiced a concern that it should just be left alone, we like the game slow," Hind said. "The people who have been positive have been positive about speeding up the game. The people who have been negative about speeding up the game, their argument has been just go directly to a shot clock and time every possession."
Despite some negative reaction, Hind is pleased that people are taking interest in the Rules Committee's work and has been doing his best to take everyone's concerns into consideration.
"I've listened to every voicemail and read every email and actually responded to every person who has written to me," said Hind, the Hamilton College athletic director and former head lacrosse coach at Butler. "I've been appointed into this position. As a steward of the game I love, I think everyone deserves a response if they've taken the time."

How we behave as gun owners is important. Posturing and threatening does not serve us well in the public eye.
Those who will not govern their own behavior are slaves waiting for a master; one will surely find them.
Not surprising they all pleaded not guilty.It's so arbitrary and ludicrous, to believe that having survived a previous encounter equates to "being under a specific threat." Reality is, life is worth defending at ALL times, not ONLY after having been beaten to within an inch of your life.... require the applicant demonstrate a compelling need such as transporting large amounts of cash, needing to be in remote areas or being under a specific threat.
The bad news is, this man was defenseless against a group of thugs. The good news is, he now fits the criteria for a qualified applicant for a concealed carry permit.
I don't see California going shall-issue anytime soon, let alone putting a clause into the state constitution that upholds the right of citizens to be armed. The Heller and McDonald rulings were the first step, but until we get the arbitrary nature of might-never-issue blasted out of existence, we'll still have citizens caught with their pants down whenever violent felons decide it's time to "roll." It should be simple, that innocent life matters at all times, and that such life is threatened at all times by armed/aggressive felons in which citizens have no effective means of defense.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Those who will not govern their own behavior are slaves waiting for a master; one will surely find them.
Unfortunately, things like that happen way too often.

I have limited track experience. 2 "weekends" with the Ferrari Club of North Carolina at VIR. First year was in a 1999 F355 on the South Course around the Oak Tree, the second year I choose a 2001 M5 over the Ferrari on the Full Course.
Couple of lessons.
I'm not a very good driver. Leave the aggressive driving for the track in a semi-controlled environment.
Listen to the instructor. He/she has done this before and can help.
Don't do anything (or go any faster) than you are comfortable doing it.
The car is WAY better than me, and I am only limited by my own skills, or lack thereof.
The car does what I tell it to do, even if it's wrong.
Traction control sucks. :)
Traction control can save your butt. :)
Relax, and check your ego at the door. Start slow, and ease into it.
Learn to drive a slow car fast, rather than a fast car into a tire wall. Don't ask.

Vermont Falling Short On Energy Efficiency Goal
08/02/11 7:34AM By John Dillon
| Download MP3
(Host) Vermont is not on track to reach the goal of making 25 percent of its homes more energy efficient by 2020.
And a new report suggests that it's not lack of funding that's kept people from making the investment.
As VPR's John Dillon reports, the public simply may not be aware of the potential savings.
(Dillon) It usually costs about $7,000 to make to a home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. A contractor specializing in energy retrofits will plug air leaks, and add insulation to walls, basements and attics.
But the savings can flow right through to your wallet.
(Symington) "Typically you can save $800 to $1,100 a year. It's hard to find other places to save that much money."
(Dillon) Gaye Symington is a former speaker of the Vermont House and now executive director of the High Meadows Fund. The non-profit works on issues at the intersection of the economy and the environment. So Symington wanted to find out why more people weren't making their homes more energy efficient.
(Symington) "And we were surprised to find that actually the biggest barrier, while financing is an issue, the biggest barrier is that Vermonters really don't understand the benefits of doing this work. And there are lots of different steps in the path to getting energy efficiency done."
(Dillon) The state has set a goal of making 25 percent of Vermont homes at least 25 percent more energy efficient by 2020. But studies commissioned by the High Meadows Fund say Vermont is falling short. Symington says we're on track to reach just over half that goal.
(Symington) "I think part of the issue is that we need to talk about the opportunity to save money and have a more comfortable home. And the other barrier is that energy efficiency is really invisible. It's very hard to see. It's caulk and insulation and that's in the basement and the attic. It's not visible."
(Dillon) One way to make those savings more visible is to disclose a home's energy use when it's sold - much like a new car carries a miles per gallon label.
(Symington) "And I think probably home buyers are going to be asking for this information because it's an increasingly large part of what makes a house affordable."
(Dillon) Symington says lots of people get energy audits that show how much heat a home is leaking. But they often don't follow through to get the work done. The High Meadows Fund says simplifying the process and making bank financing more accessible could help.
Another recommendation is to do more coordination and outreach to those in the building trades. A contractor doing work on your roof, for example, may also be able to install more insulation.
For VPR News, I'm John Dillon in Montpelier.
What steps toward energy efficiency are you taking at home? Let us know in the comments section.

In a bid to end the controversy over the leakage of Army Chief Gen VK Singh's confidential letter to PMO explaining major shortcomings in the country's defence preparedness, the government has ordered Intelligence Bureau to probe the matter.
Sources from Defence Ministry have confirmed that Intelligence Bureau has been asked to inquire into leakage of the Army Chief's confidential letter to Prime Minister's office.
According to media reports, the confidential letter to PMO by Army Chief had explained several shortcomings in the country's defence related procurements, obsolete air defence, bureaucratic hassles and shortage of ammunition and critical weaponry required to safeguard the country in the event of a war.
The leakage of the confidential letter to PMO and bribery allegation made by Army Chief Gen VK Singh has become a major embarrassment for the Congress-led UPA government, which is why govt has ordered CBI probe into the bribery allegations by General VK Singh claiming that he was offered a bribe for clearing sub-standard vehicles for the Army.

Adventurer and businessman Dick Smith has approached his friends to try to get a job for self-confessed terrorism supporter David Hicks.
Mr Smith also has urged the former Guantanamo Bay inmate to tell his story to the Australian public and is appealing for Australians to keep an open mind about him.
"I've said to him that he should tell the full story to the Australian people," Mr Smith said yesterday.
"He wants to do that and he's going to do that but he's not ready to do that yet.
" … I'm asking Australians to listen, to have an open mind, not just believe the Americans and when he tells the story, then make up their own minds."
A gag order imposed on Hicks as a condition of his plea deal with the US military commission that last year found him guilty of providing material support for terrorism, expires at the end of this month.

Mattress Sensor Monitors Vitals During Sleep
Beddit is a sensor and an accompanying app, that analyzes quality of sleep and offers tips on how to sleep easier and deeper.
Beddit is a thin sensor that straps to your mattress, undetectable beneath your sheets, and analyzes your heart rate and breathing patterns to determine your quality of sleep. While the company launched in 2006, it is only now making its product available to everyday consumers. After years of tweaking, the company has created a sleep-tracking device that would be effective while also available at a reasonable price point.
The Beddit sensor is connected to an app via Bluetooth and can monitor all your sleeping habits to assess your quality of sleep. The sensor measures a person's heart rate, breathing, rhythm and movement whilst they sleep as well as tracking how many times they get up in the night and whether they snore. The app has a coach that can make recommendations based on the data received, to tell a person how to get an optimal night's sleep, as well as a smart alarm clock that can be programmed only to wake a person up during light sleep.
CEO Lasse Leppäkorpi told The Telegraph:
You spend one-third of your life in bed but people know very little about how they actually sleep. Most of us think that we know how we sleep — that we sleep well or that we sleep poorly. But it's often a surprise.
Though Beddit Pro is currently being used in hospitals and for professional athletes, that version retails at $669. The company is now looking for funding on Indiegogo to get the consumer version to market. It will retail for $149, with Indiegogo funders receiving a 30% discount, and getting their Beddit for $99. The first shipment is planned for November of this year.

Hey does anybody know where I could find a Boba Fett Helmet Pepakura file? Thanks.
Hey does anybody know where I could find a Boba Fett Helmet Pepakura file? Thanks.
just google search for a 3d model of the helmet and throw it into the viewer, but i almost think you'd have better luck with wizard of flight templates and building that up....
it'd be more detailed and you'd probably actually only need to smooth out the dome instead of the entire helmet...
just my 2 cents
PM Skupilkinson, He makes them, and his Fett stuff is free.
that thread
I made one and building another, modelling is mine too.
File isn't published yet, but it will be soon...
Alright cool. Thanks for hte help
That's some pretty strange unfolding there bro?? Around the mandables?
No, absolutely. I looked at the other thread too. I wasn't bashin' your method bro. the build up from your file looks really good.
Hey there! New to the board.
I noticed that http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/wiki/Boba-Fett-Helmet results in a "Page not found" message. Is there a new page or is this because I'm a new member?

I'm not real big on yogurts for the most part, and the one's I do like i'm tired of.....BUT,
The Nonfat Greek yogurt they have at Costco (i'm sure it's widely available) is the shit!
I never really paid attention to this stuff, but it has nearly 3x the amount of protein per serving than regular yogurts. Having 20'ish grams of protein per cup is great!
I should add this to the diet thread...
A cup or two of this stuff with a scoop or two of whey isolate is great and provides a ton of protein and just moderate amounts of carbs. The whey protein powder mixes much better with this stuff than other regular yogurts too, which is a plus.
You can also add in some sugar-free pudding or splenda with it to sweeten it to your tastes

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by DeetroitDynasty-e, Jun 5, 2007.
AWOL in his illegally tinted sports car! :D
i'd be all for darko returning to detroit, as long as it's in another team's uniform
I agree, Darko has way too many bad memories here, he plays better against us than he'll play with us.
I have to disagree about DMC being hamstrung by memories. If he was to be given reassurances as to his opportunities here, a Laimbeer to coach him instead of the spas, and truly a chance to contribute, yes to start, he would be more than OK here. He is a big boy now, as evidenced by his improvement under still difficult cirumstances in Orlando. Look at the way he leads his team in the World's. It is not because the talent level is lower; it is not because of the style of play. It is because he is depended upon, has the respect of his coaches and teammembers (despite his youth) and a job to do that matters. Get Lambs and bring DMC back. You won't be sorry. Give up whoever you need to to make it happen.
Lazy, you got a link for that? Is he playing now? I'd like to read up on that. Int'l basketball is getting more and more interesting to me. I also want to follow Delfie on his nat'l team.
Luke, I did not save any links but it was all over the news last Summer. The Serb coach was talking a lot throughout the news media in Europe about how Darko was like the linch-pin of the team and they would be expecting big things from him. As it turned out, he led the team in several areas. He was the go-to guy and thrived on it. But he does get bored when he is expected to do nothing but set picks and stay out of Grant Hill's lanes, etc. This Summer's competitions have not started yet, at least not that I have seen. Delfino played well last Summer, too, as did Carlos Arroyo. As I can figure it, there are quite a few NBAers playing but they are not the only good players there. I did not have NBA League Pass last year in time for the Summer games, but I believe I heard that they had some games on. I am pretty sure also that the less expensive NBA-TV had games on, as well. The Serbs will be playing this year separated from Montenegro, and I believe that Krstic some of the other Serbians we have heard of will be playing, as well. I blieve the guard from Cleveland has said he would go and more. Sorry to not have any links but when I was hearing about this last Summer it seemed to be pretty widely known. I heard more about it on the Orlando forums, though, as they had Darko and the Pistons have no more Serbs. I think the PistonsForum.com did have info on Delfino and Arroyo at the time. If I do find some links or do see anything on the NBA TV outlets, I will post it.
Pavlovic should be playing for Serbia this summer too, right? He would help them.
are you kidding? what still difficult circumstances? the kid is a crybaby with no heart. if you gave him a starting position and 40 minutes a night he'd find something else to complain about.
difficult circumstances of outplaying the starter yet still getting glued to the bench minutes. he should play 5 minutes less than dwight. honestly the offense should be ran through darko instead of dwight. he's still being forced to play low post only on offense and nobody passes it inside to him except the backups who rarely play. he's being used as basically a pick setter on offense wasting his talents. he still hasn't been developed like a lottery pick should have. he's had a difficult road compared to everyone else in his class. he showed more heart than any other orlando player in the playoffs. he was also playing injured which showed heart. i disagree about how he would respond to starting and a significant role. he has that role on his serbian team and he's thrived as a leader as well as in production.
Develped like a lottery pick should? A lottery pick should be pretty much ready to go IMO. Darko will never be a great player in the NBA. I doubt he will be a good player even. At best an average player. We don't need him back. I wish we could have drafted someone else, but we didn't. We defently don't need/want Darko back. I like Nazr better then Darko and I believe Nazr is better then Darko.
I'm glad I'm not Darko. He has had a very, very hard life. First he has to practice in a hanger while bombs explode all around him. He finally gets his chance to leave war torn Serbia and runs right into foreign player hating Larry Brown, and his evil hentchman Ben Wallace, who conspire to keep Darko on the bench in an effort to further their own careers. Larry then tells the world that Darko is immature on the David Letterman Show. When the Pistons wise up and fire Larry Brown, everyone thinks that Darko will finally get his chance. But... here comes Flip Saunders, who doesn't understand anything at all about bloodflow or common Serbian Courtesy, and refuses to play the kid. Next stop, Orlando. Brian Hill is an idiot who refuses to win, and insures failure by giving all of Darko's minutes to Battie. Howard and Hill conspire to keep the other players from passing Darko the ball. The only players who will are the backups, who realize his awesome potential. What's next for this young kid? Will this unfair treatment EVER end? Personally, I wouldn't trade places with this poor kid for all of the $18 million dollars he has already earned, or for the $7 million per year he may get based on his potential. It's just not worth it.
Linwood...I totally agree. I had tears streaming down my face as I read your post.
Please, Please, pass the Kleenex!!!
it's all relative. i don't expect you to understand. in terms of a lottery pick a top 5 pick. darko hasn't been treated fairly. he's been treated like an undrafted tweener instead of darko the serbian gangsta milicic. don't cry tears for darko. cry for our aging frontline.
linwood - post of the year. thank you for that.
That was awesome. We need more posts like that.
Linwood, If it were ever true that a picture paints a thousand words...I just don't know what to say man...I haven't cried so much since watching Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" for the first time, or since my poor hamster "Scruffin" got run over by the neighbor kid's Big Wheel® when I was but a lad of 10. Here is scruffy after the accident. He was never quite the same after we mistook him for dead and buried him. He crawled out of his grave a couple days later much to our surprise. We still feel guilty for giving him up for dead when he still had so much life in him. Kind of what Larry Brown and Brian Hill did to poor Darko. I wonder if they feel guilty too?
That is not really correct. DMC average 24 minutes a game last year which is more than Dyess did (21 minutes a game). He also took more shots per game than Dyess did (6.9 to 6.6). Considering that he for all intense and purposes that this was only his second year (actuall 1.5 years) that he played at all in the NBA and that he was only 21 years old, those weren't bad numbers. 24 minutes 8.0 points and 5.5 rebounds
If he can play, should it matter? Amir Johnson and Jason Maxiell have suffered with less minutes and you don't see them wanting to go back to Serbia!
Hey, linwood, cute little post. You used sarcasm quite well and got your point across, even though it was off the mark. I missed only one Orlando game last season, saw all but one on NBA-LP. I can only give you my own jaded opinion but here it is. Hill is gone for misplaying Darko, not taking away his minutes. But that is just part of the reason. The rest is his total ignorance of JJ. Leaving his best long gun on the bench game after game, quarter after quarter, while Dwight was getting swarmed by defenders who did not have to honor an outside threat, helped immeasurably. I even agreed with him to bring Darko off the bench. He and Tony played pretty equal minutes and in every category, Darklo clearly outplayed Tony. That was good because very often the bench came in and clearly did better than the starters, and not only against the other teams bench. But when Tony got injured and was clearly not playing well upon his return, Hill started him anyway. Their announcers were apologizing for Tony not being able to even catch the ball with his injured hand. Darko had very clearly outplayed Tony and then when Tony went down, DMC's numbers got even better. But when Tony came back, still hampered, he started him right away. Not cool! Not smart! He never gave James Augustine a chance, either, preferring to bring two old, crotchety players off the bench. They even sent James to the instructional league where he did exceptionally well. Bringing him back, they continued to ignore him in lieu of Garrity and Bo. The up-tempo game was by far the Magic's best chance. Everyone saw it, except Hill. They led the league in turnovers and especially Dwight, and the still left their only real long threat on the bench. But they continued to plod along and turn the ball over. The very few times they deigned to run the offense through DMC, they were successful. Even Dwight got better shots without turnovers, because the other teams had to defend someone else. There were times when Tony was so alone as to be funny because they did not honor his shot. Darko, Ariza and JJ made instant impacts when the came into games, but they would never be trusted. Jameer, who is totally not a PG, continued to start and flounder. Altogether now, everybody, say, "Turnovers". They had Darko turning down shot after shot. When he was allowed to shoot, he did well, although he was clearly looking at the bench to see if it was OK to actually put the ball up. Those are the impressions of a self-confessed biased fan who saw about every game they played.

My girlfriend's 2008 VW Beetle (non-turbo) threw a check engine light. Every once in a while, it starts when cold roughly, misfiring very obviously. Shutting it off and restarting clears it up. Most of the time it starts normally.
Anyway, it did it again this morning, and the check engine light illuminated. She shut it off, restarted it, and drove normally the rest of the day. A stop at the auto parts store revealed Code P2279 Intake Air System Leak.
Any ideas on how to diagnose this? The car is running normally now.

There have been more than a few speed bumps along the way in Cuonzo Martin's first season as Tennessee basketball coach — one as recently as Saturday at Alabama. But with three quarters of the Southeastern Conference season in the books, the Vols are tied for fourth and have a chance to earn a bye in next month's league tournament.
Given the state of the program he inherited —heavy personnel losses and the specter of NCAA sanctions hanging overhead like storm clouds ready to unload — if before the season began someone had offered Martin a deal for fourth place in late February, he would have jumped all over it.
"Oh, with a doubt because there were so many unknowns," Martin said at his weekly press conference on Monday. "Now don't get me wrong, if we had returned this season with Scotty (Hopson) and Tobias (Harris) — because they had the potential to come back to school — I'd say let's fight to be the best team in this league. Because you knew what you brought back. You had a core group of guys who you could build around.
"But the in the case where you don't have any proven stars, and guys are trying to find their way, it's hard to go into the season and say, 'Let's finish first in this league.' You don't know what you have. It's not like I've been here five years as a coach and I say, 'Well, we've got good freshmen coming in.' I don't know what we have.
"Because we've put ourselves in a position, I would take it any day of the week. But I still feel there were games we lost that we could have won because of the progress our guys made. I keep going back to Austin Peay (which beat the Vols in Knoxville after shooting 72 percent in the second half); we weren't a very good team, and the best team won that night on our floor. But we're a better team now."
Whether the Vols (14-13, 6-6) are good enough to close out the regular season with an SEC Tournament bye remains to be seen. With four games to play — two of them on the road at LSU and South Carolina — there's plenty of work to be done. A win over Ole Miss on Wednesday night in Knoxville would help break up the logjam that has become the middle of the SEC standings. Before Tuesday night's games, four teams were tied for fourth at 6-6, and two more, including Ole Miss, were right behind at 5-7.
That Tennessee has worked its way into that mix is a testament to the conviction of Martin, whose program bedrocks are playing hard, running the motion offense and defending.
"Coach Martin's not a hard coach to please at all — if you play hard and defend, you can play for him," said sophomore guard Jordan McRae, who could be the poster boy for Martin's rebuilding efforts. McRae began the season in the starting lineup, lost his spot when Martin wasn't happy with his defensive intensity and barely played for a month. Since working his way back into the rotation, McRae has become a consistent scorer again, but with his long, wiry frame and quickness, he's also been a factor on defense, too.
McRae admits it took him a while to see the light.
"I definitely did," McRae said. "In high school, not really playing any defense, and last year, not playing (as a freshman). It's an adjustment you have to make. … When you're guarding, Coach Martin says it's all about pride. You don't have to be the fastest or the strongest. You just have to have the pride to keep somebody in front of you. Anybody can do it."
"He's done a good job," Martin said. "It takes time. He's a guy who's been built to score all his life. His ability to defend is blocking shots and gambling and trying to get steals. We need him to be strong and fight through ball screens, to be tough, to rebound. And he's done a good job rebounding.
"It's just him really taking pride in doing those things, because it's not like he didn't have the ability to do it. It's just a matter of him doing it and understanding that in order for him to play, this is what he has to do."

The Taliban, in a rather unusual comment offered to work with US and NATO forces as part of a commission that would deal with issues of civilian deaths in Afghanistan. Their website made the following proposal for a new group that would deal with deaths of the innocent. "The stated committee should (be) given a free hand to survey the affected areas as well as people in order to collect precise information and the factr and figures and disseminate its findings worldwide." Getting members of the Taliban working on a commission with US officials is an important first step toward investigating possibilities of ways to resolve the conflict in Afghanistan.
The offer comes as General David Petraeus was telling the media the struggle in Afghanistan will be long and difficult. "It's a gradual effort. It's a deliberate effort. There's no hill to take, or flag to plant and proclamation of victory." Agreed. Now, let's reach out to the Taliban and begin a process that might result in peace.

Mr. Greg Tanzer
Re: Public Comment on Principles on Outsourcing by Markets
Dear Mr. Tanzer:
National Futures Association (NFA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the IOSCO Technical Committee's Principles on Outsourcing by Markets Consultation Report. NFA is a registered futures association under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and an affiliate member of IOSCO. NFA is the industry-wide self-regulatory body for the U.S. futures industry and regulates the activities of approximately 4,000 member firms and over 50,000 registered account executives who work for those firms.
For almost ten years, NFA has provided regulatory services to electronic futures markets. NFA works closely with the CFTC to provide effective and efficient regulatory services that protect the integrity of those markets and ensure compliance by those markets with CFTC regulatory requirements.
The Role of Outsourcing for Futures Markets Seeking CFTC Designation as a Contract Market
Any market that seeks to provide a trading facility to trade futures, options on futures or options on commodities must apply to the CFTC to be designated as a contract market (DCM), unless some exemption or exclusion would apply to the facility1. DCMs may allow access to their facilities by all types of traders, including retail customers, and operate under the regulatory oversight of the CFTC.
In order to obtain and maintain its designation, a DCM must comply with the designation criteria established in Section 5(b) of the CEA and Part 38 of the CFTC Regulations. These criteria include:
In addition, a DCM must also comply with the 18 core principles established in Section 5(d) of the CEA and Part 38 of the CFTC's rules:
The CFTC permits a DCM to outsource its trade practice and market surveillance (TPMS) functions to a third party, provided that the third party has the capacity and authority to carry out those functions and the contract market retains appropriate supervisory authority over the third party2. If a DCM outsources these functions, the contract between the DCM applicant and the third party must accompany the application. The contract must meet with the CFTC's approval in order for the CFTC to designate the applicant market as a DCM.
Because NFA has provided TPMS functions to a number of DCMS, the CFTC has had numerous opportunities to review the Regulatory Services Agreements (RSA) between the DCMs and NFA. NFA has worked closely with the CFTC to ensure that the terms of its RSAs satisfy the DCM's regulatory obligations with respect to the DCM's TPMS functions.
Comments on Consultation Report
Overall, NFA agrees with the proposed principles and the means for implementation that the report enunciates. NFA particularly believes that whether the service provider is itself regulated is a critical factor to be considered both in the market's selection of a service provider as well as the manner in which the outsourcing principles will be implemented. If the services provider is regulated, greater flexibility should be appropriate than is currently reflected in the report. Specifically, Topic 4: Security and Confidentiality of Information suggests the inclusion of certain contract provisions. However, because NFA is regulated by the CFTC and has regulatory obligations concerning the security of its systems and the confidentiality of the data in those systems, the specific contractual provisions contained in the report may not be necessary. NFA urges that the final report recognize this and include language that provides for flexibility in this regard.
Regarding Topic 6: Regulator's and Market's Access to Books and Records, including rights of inspection, NFA believes that the term, "Books and Records" may be overbroad. NFA agrees wholeheartedly that the market and regulator must have access to the data and other information and records provided by the market to or obtained or generated by the service provider in connection with the provision of the regulatory services. In fact, NFA's RSAs specifically define which party owns which records. However, as NFA understands the term, "Books and Records" it refers to the internal financial records of the service provider, which records NFA believes should not be made available to or subject to inspection by the market or the regulator even if they relate to the provision of the regulatory services. NFA encourages that the final report use more precise language in this regard and limit the access and inspection rights to the data and other information obtained or generated in connection with the provision of the services.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact me at email@example.com.
Respectfully submitted,
Karen K. Wuertz
1 These exemptions include Designated Transaction Execution Facilities, Exempt Boards of Trade and Exempt Commercial Markets. NFA has provided regulatory services only to markets designated as DCMs.
2 Pursuant to Section 5c(b)(2) of the CEA, a DCM that delegates its TPMS function to a third party remains responsible for carrying out the function.

The Obama administration struck a blow to freedom in food and agriculture late January when the USDA deregulated genetically modified (GM) alfalfa seed. The agency's decision threatens to deprive farmers of the right to produce GM-free milk and meat, and deny consumers the right to purchase it. It also threatens the relevance of the USDA's organic program.
And then a week later, on Feb. 4, the USDA did it again, this time by partially deregulating GM sugar beet seed.
Both announcements were great news for Monsanto, which owns both types of GM seeds—and USDA chief Tom Vilsack as well, apparently. Vilsack's trips on Monsanto corporate jets while governor of Iowa are well documented, and his "Governor of the Year" award from the Biotechnology Industry Association was surely well deserved. Indeed, both of Vilsack's recent deregulations were big victories for the biotech industry. And the sugar beet move is especially chilling to those harboring fears of a GM planet. The USDA's deregulation of sugar beet seed defied an order from a San Francisco District Court demanding an environmental impact statement (EIS) be produced before USDA deregulated the seed.
USDA deregulated it anyway. And even if the agency is ultimately penalized for this intransigence, the seed will have been planted, which is a significant gain of ground for GM agriculture lovers.
Nearly all the beet seed produced in the country—seed for conventional and organic alike, sugar and table beets both—is grown in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The reason is simple: It's the nation's best spot to grow beets (and chard, too, which cross-pollinates with beets). If GM sugar beets are planted in the Willamette Valley, non-GM beet (and chard) plants will most likely be exposed to GM sugar beet pollen, and growers may be forced out or overtaken, voluntarily or otherwise, by genetically modified sugar beet DNA.
In the case of alfalfa, even the corporate-rights activist group also known as the U.S. Supreme Court recognized that deregulated GM alfalfa presented unacceptable risks to the environment, consumers and business. Last summer the court ruled that USDA must complete an EIS before deregulating GM alfalfa seed.
In response to this ruling, USDA dutifully held a public comment period and drafted an EIS, which contained plenty of reasons to be wary of GM alfalfa. The agency then proceeded to ignore these warnings and grant full deregulation to GM alfalfa anyway.
In choosing this path, USDA decided against the more conservative option of partial deregulation, which would have provided mechanisms for keeping track of what happens to the genes that Monsanto will be releasing into the environment.
Such oversight, at a minimum, would be a really good idea, since GM alfalfa is to organic dairy what the Trojan Horse was to Troy. Alfalfa is pollinated by bees, which have a five-mile range. When non-GM alfalfa is pollinated with pollen from GM alfalfa plants, seeds containing the lab-modified DNA sequences are produced. Alfalfa is a perennial that can generate 15,000 seeds a year and live for decades, even centuries. Once GM pollen is out of the bag, putting it back in would be like repacking Pandora's box. It's not going to happen.
It's a matter of when, not if, GM alfalfa DNA starts showing up in the feed of organic dairy cows. When the genes escape, organic regulators will find themselves in a tricky spot: either revoke organic certification from the "offender"—who's actually a victim of GM contamination—or broaden organic standards to allow GM in. The latter would be a dream come true for the biotech seed industry. Thus, GM alfalfa may represent a foot in the door of the coveted organic market—the food industry's fastest-growing segment.
The USDA's deregulation of GM alfalfa and sugar beet seed threatens the rights of those in the agriculture business to produce meat and dairy that's free of the mark of genetic modification, and all of the unknown possibility that mark entails. Once the first crop of GM alfalfa goes to seed, the prospects of a future with non-GM meat and dairy will dim considerably. And once the GM sugar beets go to seed, finding non-GM beets or chard will become difficult if not impossible.
It appears USDA's goal was getting both alfalfa and sugar beet seed planted as soon as possible. It was able to do so legally, if sleazily, with alfalfa, but not with sugar beets. Perhaps the urgency, from Monsanto's perspective, is that Vilsack only has two more years of guaranteed influence. After the 2012 election, who knows? Since beets take two years to flower, Vilsack's golden window closes this spring. Planting now gives the beets enough time to contaminate the Willamette Valley with their pollen before the possible arrival of a new USDA chief, who might not be in Monsanto's front pocket.
While GM alfalfa threatens to blanket the country with GM pollen that will eventually find its way into dairy and meat supplies, GM sugar beet seed is an efficient surgical strike at beet central. In both cases, more genetically modified DNA is poised for injection into the food chain and the environment.
We can find a bit of comfort in the fact that, unlike the deregulation of alfalfa, the deregulation of sugar beet seed is partial, meaning USDA will monitor where the GM beets are planted and ensure the genes don't spread.
But the genes will spread, no matter how carefully USDA and Monsanto try to prevent it. The genes will spread because that's what genes do.
Those who oppose the planting of GM alfalfa and sugar beet seeds have two significant milestones to consider in their planning. The first is preventing the seeds from being planted. If that fails, the next and final chance will be to make sure the plants are destroyed before they flower. After that, once the pollen gets released, game over.
The court system offers the best legal opportunity to achieve one of these defensive stops, and that possibility is real. The Center for Food Safety (CFS) may be an underdog on the GM sugar beet and alfalfa fronts, but the nonprofit is, as they say in Vegas, a live dog, and has pulled upsets before—including against the Vilsack USDA. The CFS is active in both GM alfalfa and sugar beet litigation, and contributing to its legal fund probably provides the most bang for your buck short of buying land upwind from a Monsanto field and spraying obscene amounts of nasty pesticides on windy days, and then suing Monsanto for stealing the chemicals that land on its plants.
That, of course, might be fun, but my money's on CFS. Less potential downside—blowback, as it were.
Whatever your means, if you're concerned about genetically modified DNA in your food, it's time to get to work.

Nutri Mirror
Online Food Diary and Exercise BehaviorTop Rated Diets of 2017
NutriMirror is an online food diary that is an absolutely free service that allows you to keep precise track of your health and weight loss goals. NutriMirror is not a diet but rather an internet-based system for managing the behaviors that affect your health. It encourages you to be held accountable for your actions so that you can achieve a healthy weight and nutritional balance.
After completing a brief user profile, you receive an overview of certain important health markers like your BMI and your basal metabolic rate. Once you have created a user profile you can then begin logging your daily food and exercise have access to NutriMirror's food and exercise diaries. After each entry, you receive a NutriMirror Reflection which is a synopsis of how well or not-so-well you are adhering to your health goals.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Encourages personal accountability for meeting your weight loss goals
- Studies show that keeping a food diary improves diet outcome
- NutriMirror reports point out shortcomings in your diet and exercise habits

- Does not include a customized diet or exercise plan
NutriMirror can be used in conjunction with any diet plan. Each day, you log what you ate and how much ate in your food diary and NutriMirror gives you an immediate report of how your food stacks up against what you should be eating. You receive a breakdown of calories, fat grams, vitamins, minerals, fiber and carbohydrates after entering in a snack or a meal.
It also highlights what nutrients you are keeping in your target range and which ones are out of your target range. For instance, if you already consumed enough saturated fat for the day once you entered your lunch information, then the number of fat grams will be shown in red, alerting you to pay attention to your saturated fat intake for the rest of the day.EXERCISE
NutriMirror does not formulate an exercise program for you but it computes and reports the impact of all your elective exercises on your calorie balance via the Exercise Log. After selecting the type of exercise, the duration and intensity, your Exercise Log will give you a synopsis of how many calories your burned. You can also set weekly exercise goals and view a detailed report that tracks how well you have adhered to these goals.CONCLUSION

It was created in light of research that shows individuals who keep consistent and daily food diaries have a higher success rate in meeting their weight loss goals and maintaining them over the long-term.

User Feedback(Page 4 of 5, 94 total comments)
I have been a member of nutrimirror since last summer. It is terrific. I approach the site somewhat different than other members. I need to eat healthy and lose a few more pounds but I must supplement my diet with vitamins. This site allows me to do this without judgement. The members are extremely informative and supportive. I have learned much about new foods and have invested in trying new grains and recipes. This site is made for those of use that need motivation and encouragement.
The Nutrimirror home page includes a two week overview of your nutrient and calorie balance that is very helpful in spotting and managing trends.
I have used the site for 6 months, and with the help of the trackers and information readily available, I have lost 45 lbs. Cannot suggest this site highly enough!!!!! It is wonderful. I love the fact that you can put in your recipies and find out what you really are putting into your body. Fabulous site.
Healthy eating promotes healthy weight. This program thas taught me how to balance the foods I love. There is no deprival with this program. You customize your own eating program.
I've been using Nutrimirror daily since February 2009. It's phenomenal. The red/green charts make it so easy to see immediately how you're doing. It's a balanced approach, encouraging healthy eating. I've lost over 20 lbs on NM, and maintained that loss for over 6 months now.
The fact that it "does not include a customized diet or exercise plan" as shown in the article as a Con, in fact I would consider a Pro. This site allows you to be you - to eat foods you've always eaten, and to exercise however you'd like or not at all. But if you do exercise and make good choices with your food, you immediately get positive feedback - good scores on your nutrients, and more calories to consume while still meeting your goal.
And finally, it tells you once and for all, if you're getting the right nutrients in your diet through your food, or whether you should be taking a multivitamin daily.
It's impossible to say enough and do the website justice. I recommend everyone to give it a try and see.
Healthy eating promotes healthy weight. That is what NutriMirror has done for me. It is not a diet, it is about balancing the foods you love.
Simply the best tool for people serious about achieving health as opposed to a quick fix diet. Can you loose weight using the website? YES - but the creators understand that weight problems are often the symptom of poor eating and exercise habits... by working on improved eating and activity level, users quickly find their weight issues resolve naturally. Wonderful site (and some of the most supportive people you will find anywhere) and did I meantion its cost? FREE. Highly recommended!
I have tried all the fab diets..lose a few then gain it back...I have been logging what I eat, and changing what I eat, and have lost 26 pounds so far...and feel healthier than I have in years...The feed back and family like atmosphere will keep you motivated...
I've been using NutriMirror since January 09. And so far, I've lost 42 pounds. I've used every kind of weight loss plan known to man and this one is the only one that really makes sense and truly the only one that has given me the results I wanted and needed. And the 'CON' listed here I do not agree with. I don't want anyone telling me I should eat this and not that. My life is full of every kind of delicious food choice there is. And I wouldn't, and won't live my life restricting my diet any longer. And as far as exercise, as long as you're committed to just moving every day, that's one the most important decisions you can make for yourself. I highly recommend this website, not only for the nutritional feedback it provides, but also for the on-line supportive community it brings with it.
Over the last 2-3 years I watched my weight increase and reach unhealthy levels. I hired a personal trainer, took weight loss pills and didn't get results. I joined Nutrimirror in Dec 09, and in 10 weeks I lost 14lbs, reduced my BMI by almost 2%, and went down 2 dress sizes. I found the food logs easy to use even for ethnic (Asian, Latino) foods, and with the feedback from the personalized analyses, I modified my eating habits - I'm much better at managing not only what I eat but also how much I eat. Nutrimirror''s approach can help build sustainable weight management.
I forgot to say - I don't consider the fact that there is no diet or exercise plan to be a CON! Just the opposite - I am the one in charge, and this tool continues to teach me how to manage my own nutrition without having to stick to a rigid, impersonal plan. "No diet or exercise plan" should be a PRO!!
Nutrimirror is fantastic. I have been a member since July 09 and have lost 61 pounds, more than my original goal. The feedback is personal and motivating; if I see red, I know I have not reached balance yet. I will be able to maintain my weight loss with this tool. The other users are supportive, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I highly recommend NM to anyone who will listen!
one word - awesome!
I have been using NM since April 09 and have lost 31 lbs. The site is easy to use and the community is very supportive.
i don't have one
I've been using this site since April and have lost 30 lbs. The hardest part is the honesty. I didn't like what I saw in my NutriMirror when I first started but have learned not to attribute it to personal failure. I was just uneducated. Knowledge is power
I love this Diet Review. I've tried everything--nothing has worked, but keeping track like this is wonderful. Lost 1 lb. first week.
Best thing out there and it really is absolutely free without trying to sell you anything; no diet gimmicks this is the real thing!
Love this website. It is based on real feedback. I have already made positive changes in my life motivated by this website and I have only been a member for about a week. You HAVE to check it out.
Wonderful site for people looking to make a long term change

13.3 @ 106 w/ 1.99 60
This is a discussion on Z28s vs. Turbo Sleepers within the Comparison: WRX vs World forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; 13.3 @ 106 w/ 1.99 60...
13.3 @ 106 w/ 1.99 60
LOL...Originally posted by twinz
I love it! I always have had a soft spot for total sleepers like that. totally unassuming, no one would suspect a thing and goes like a bat out of hell...great! That would be a riot smoking a new C5 in an old beat up minivan or a K car..serious ego deflating capabilities.
Personally, it wouldn't affect me...It maybe fast, but it's still a POS...
Anyone can make a fast honey Mcgrim, but it doesn't mean you would be caught dead driving it. It's like a moped fun to ride until your friends see you on it (applies to being with fat/ugly girls too ) .
That is seriously one of the funniest things i have seen in a while. I laughed for like 20 minutes. Im gonna show it to my friend who has a Z28 and watch his facial expression..... I'm guessing he will pass out. Thank you for this great entertainment experience
I have to show my friend this video i think he will pass out. I found this from pwrslide's post "Poor Z28 owners" watch it and then laugh www.turbovan.net/van.html scroll down to the middle for the video
I don't understand if you think it is funny that a mini van can go that fast or that a camaro was beat by it. That van will kick the crap out of most cars on the road, including just about every WRX, S4, M3, even Corvettes
A lowly Outback Sport (with a turbo kit and nitrous) kicking the crap out of a Z-28 SS.
heh heh heh, I love it.
Its not that i think the camaro sucks its just a funny idea, im sorry if i sounded like I was making fun of the camaro. I'd laugh if i saw any car get beat by that minivan You have to admit its funny a 12 sec minivan
Last edited by pakloek; 06-08-2002 at 11:04 AM.
I think it just shows that with the right equipment or money, ANYTHING can be made fast.
I agree with u but i think that woody minivan was a nice choice. I think the only thing that would be more funny would be if you took the oscarmeyer wiener mobile and pimped it out so it could run a 12 sec 1/4 mile .
Hey how much hp does that outback sport have stock? just a simple newbie question
I thought the SS ran a low 13 stock but a z28 ran high 13 to low 14 in 1/4mile. In anycase, I raced my friends stock 2002 z28 (thats non-SS) . I have a 5sp with blitz intake and an extra 100lb sound system. Beat him off the line, still pulling away through third gear. When I hit 4th, i promptly got raped but thats to be expected with the WRX's top end. On a seperate note, my friend's driving isnt exactly the best so I might not do so well against a better driver, although i did beat him even when i didnt launch.Originally posted by Shaitiger
Stock for stock, average drivers, a Z28 will spank a WRX(0-60, 1/4, top speed) Everything else is up in the air depending on what kind of car you are looking for since these are two completely different cars.
Since someone mentioned money like they ALWAYS do.
You can buy a brand new Z28(8 cylinder N/A)with minimal options for $24,000. This is a car that can run 13.0s stock. Dump 3k-4k in the Z28 and you're talking about 11.7s.
You can buy a brand new WRX(4 cylinder Turbo) at $24,000. This car is capable of very low 14s. Dump 3K-4K in a WRX and you are talking about 12.8s.
UNLESS YOU USE NITROUS, you guys know what nitrous can do. I read a stock 2002 SS ran a 12.2 with a 75 shot of happy juice($600). We've already seen what WRX is capable of with bolt-ons and nitrous .
I love what Motormatrix said about the WRX being more consistent on the street and at the track. TRACTION is a huge plus for the WRX in short street races(70% of all races). That's what I love about the WRX.
The bottom line is that people shouldn't be talking crap with out knowing each other's driving skill.
Interior quality is the same on both cars. You will have a little more options on the WRX at the same price level. The WRX in its own way is a spectacular automobile. An LS1 is an awesome car in its own way. Don't get pissed off because this fool is uneducated about the car you love. Once you have that puppy in your driveway. You'll suprise him one way or another .
I would be interested in knowing what that van runs in the 1/4 with street tires on it and in a street trimaka street gas, which means he can't run no 24psi boost. Since, he has to run 110 octane gas to run that boost(can you say $80+ for a tank of gas). So, in reality he isn't getting those numbers in street trim. I bet in street trim the van is much slower.

Man Dies in Grass Fire
A man from Marion County has been found dead- his body severely burned- near a grass fire in Umatilla.
Around 2pm this afternoon rescue crews arrived at a one-acre grass fire off Southeast 252nd Avenue. While working to extinguish the fire, crews found the body of an adult man.
A 911 caller told dispatchers they saw the man burning something in his backyard before the grass fire started.
Fire officials say it is a somber reminder for people to abide by the burn ban.
"If they have trash, anything, even if it's a small pile, and they fall within regular burn guidelines, right now because we are under a mandatory burn ban they need to not burn at all, and take it to a local landfill or do something like that," Marion County Spokeswoman, Miranda Iglesias told TV20.
Exactly how the man died is being investigated by the Fire Marshal's office.

Warriors Take 3-1 Series Lead With 115-101 Win Over Nuggets
Curry scores 19 of his 31 pts in the third quarter
OAKLAND, Calif. - Stephen Curry shook off a sore left ankle to score 22 of his 31 points in the third quarter, leading the Golden State Warriors past the Denver Nuggets 115-101 on Sunday night for a commanding 3-1 series lead.
Curry shot 10 of 16 from the floor and added seven assists in a dominant and dazzling display that rivaled his days in the NCAA tournament for tiny Davidson. His five 3-pointers in the third quarter lifted Golden State to a 20-point lead and its third straight victory in this frenetic and flashy series.
Jarrett Jack added 21 points and nine assists and Andrew Bogut broke out in the first half with 12 points and five rebounds for the sixth-seeded Warriors, who can close out the Nuggets in Game 5 on Tuesday night in Denver.
Ty Lawson scored 26 points and Andre Iguodala had 19 for the third-seeded Nuggets.
