Denton: What We Learned Following Sunday's Game
By John Denton
October 8, 2012
ORLANDO -- Whereas some analysts have focused primarily on what the Orlando Magic lost after trading away star center Dwight Howard, an overlooked part of the team is the existing chemistry between the returning players.
That chemistry and knowing how to play together will allow the Magic to surprise a lot of people this season, power forward Glen ``Big Baby'' Davis said.
The Magic might have lost their preseason opener 85-80 to the New Orleans Hornets on Sunday in Mexico City, but it was certainly no fault of Orlando's primary rotation players. The starting unit got the Magic off to a 10-0 start and led the Hornets by 16 at halftime. And just before four of the five starters – Mexican native Gustavo Ayon was the exception – were removed from the exhibition game for good, the Magic had dominated the game and pushed the lead to 21 points.
Magic coach Jacque Vaughn liked the way his team shared the basketball, ran hard on the break for easy baskets and attacked to the rim to get free throw attempts. Vaughn allows for freedom in his offensive sets and says that the defense will dictate where the shots come from instead of a specific diagram. That plays into the Magic's strengths of chemistry and cohesion.
``You think about the guys who were out there together (early in the game) – J.J. (Redick), Jameer (Nelson), (Hedo) Turkgolu and myself – we've all played together and that chemistry is still there with us,'' Davis stressed. ``It's a different system (under Vaughn), but we know how to play together. And a guy like Gustavo fits in well with us. The way we played (Sunday) showed that we have that chemistry and we're only going to get better. I like what I saw from us in our first game.''
All five Magic starters scored at least six points. Vaughn praised Davis for being a factor on both ends of the floor, Nelson for setting up others for open looks and Redick and Turkoglu's willingness to run the fastbreak.
CALM DEMEANOR: Regardless of whether the Magic were playing well as they did much of the first three quarters on Sunday or struggling as the reserves did in the fourth quarter, the demeanor of Vaughn rarely changed along the sidelines.
Vaughn, the youngest coach in the NBA at 37 years old, looked more like a coaching veteran than a rookie head coach on Sunday. For weeks, Vaughn has preached that he will remain true to his calm and thoughtful demeanor and not try to act like someone he is not. He said that it is also important for him to try to keep an even keel between games and even during games because the Magic do have a collection of young players on the roster.
``That's why my approach has to stay the way that it has been,'' Vaughn said, referring to the up-and-down nature of Sunday's game. ``I have to stay consistent with these guys. This first game was a good lesson for us as far as consistent effort. We hard great effort in the first half and only gave up 31 points in the first half. But we gave up 54 points in the second half and we have to be consistent with our effort.''
Vaughn said there was no sleeplessness, no nerves or sweaty palms whatsoever before his first game as a head coach on Sunday. He said he is totally at peace with the position because it is something he has been preparing to do his entire basketball life. Vaughn played in the NBA for 12 seasons and spent two years as an assistant in San Antonio, taking notes along the way and readying himself for the day he would someday lead a team.
``I feel totally prepared for this,'' Vaughn said. ``I have a great staff around me. I feel like with the first game it was a great first day at the office. It's still preseason, but it was a nice rough draft, I guess you could say.''
ROOKIE SURPRISE: While much of the attention in summer league and training camp was focused on drafted rookies Andrew Nicholson and Kyle O'Quinn, it was undrafted rookie DeQuan Jones who opened eyes in Sunday's first game for the Magic.
The 6-foot-8, 221-pound small forward had eight points and two steals in Sunday's game while playing 23 minutes. He earned Vaughn's trust with his willingness to defend and he also electrified the crowd in Mexico City with two thunderous dunks. The University of Miami product knows that he is in a fight for a roster spot as an undrafted player with no contractual guarantees. A high flyer, Jones has worked hard to show the coaching staff and management that he can be an asset to the Magic by doing the dirty work and offering up hard-nosed defense.
``I'm just trying to be a utility guy and on our defensive rotations really be aware and be a stopper for our team,'' Jones said. ``I'm out there trying to utilize my athleticism to help this team anyway that I can.''
Jones said it dawned on him during Sunday's game as he was making his NBA debut that he was living out his dream. He is hoping that he will get enough opportunities throughout the preseason to show the coaches that he deserves a spot on the roster. ``It was a great experience for me and I was just appreciative more than anything,'' Jones said of his debut. 11I just appreciated being out there and tried to give my all to give the team whatever I could. I've just got to keep it up.''

R22 vs Puron
Have to replace AC unit. 13 SEER units require evap coil replacement as well as condensor. If I replace unit with one that uses R22 will I be able to get it serviced later? That is is there currently a replacement refrigerant that can run on a system designed for the R22 refrigerant.
Also Rheem, Trane or Goodman. All about the same price quote. Whats your choice.
Oh not Goodman...
Goodman is the cheapest built piece of trash on the market. Trane, Carrier, and Lennox are the top of the line. Rheem, Ruud, Luxaire, York, Comfortmaker, and other fall in the middle of the road. Don't worry about R-22 being around, it is the last one to be phased out and the are drop in replacements and work almost as well.
Hi Rookie50
Big mike is right, spend your money once. Buy a good high end piece of equipment. MY vote goes to Carrier, they are the ones who developed the R-410A equipment and the refrigerant. Everyone else has been playing catch up to them. R-22 is not a good investment period! The last year that R-22 refrigerant can be legally produced is 2010, you can probably answer the next question on your own. Yes the cost of it will sky rocket. This is where I say spend your money once, go with the new evaporator and lineset with your new R-410A equipment. You will also find that you will run the air conditioner about two degrees warmer than your R-22 and will be more comfortable. You will cut you electric bill by at least 20%, it won't take you long to see the true value of your new purchase. I would recommend the full monty if you can afford to do so, go with the Infinity system with the matched furnace. The new equipment will pay for itself in about five years just off of the monthly energy savings. I have two of them in a two story 3000 sqft house. I cool my whole house, my electric never gets above $130.00 and my gas bill has never been above $225.00 since making my investment. They used to run about $400.00 for electric and got as high as $600.00 for gas. Weigh all your options before you buy, like I said spend your money once.
Good luck
Thanks guys for your advice. Again its been very helpfull.
I can't afford to replace the furnace right now, its in good shape although as noted much more costly to run than the new stuff. I am replacing the whole AC unit though, I'm going with a Trane XL14i I believe is the model. I'm going this way cause the contractor is highly thought of, gave me the correct assessment of my current equipment, and I know the installation will be top notch. This is the brand he deals and his price was right in line with all the other makes I was quoted. Its going in Tuesday and I'll report back after the install. At least the weather broke here this week(near Detroit, been hot and humid until now).

Mini FET Shield Hookup Guide
Project Time
Now that we have all this hardware hooked up to the Mini FET Shield, what can we do with it? Well, for one, we can make a mobile light show!
To make a truly epic laser show, you'll need a hot glue gun and a few stick of hot glue. Also, if you don't already have some, you'll need a hex key to assemble the Actobotics parts and a slightly smaller hex key for the set screws.
Along with all the parts we used in the Assembly section, you'll also need a LiPo battery, and some mounting hardware to hold everything in place. You can just use some angle brackets and some hot glue, or, if you want to get serious about your laser show, we've picked out some Actobotics parts to help you mount the motor and laser.
Going over building the mount is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but here's a picture for guidance.
Add a thin, bumpy layer of hot glue on the outer rim of the clear, acrylic wheel. When you shine the laser through the glue, it makes for an amazing visual effect reminiscent of an Aurora.
Every project needs at least a little bit of code to get it going. Here is a simple sketch that turns the laser on with the switch and spins the motor when the button is pressed. Upload the code onto the Pro Mini using a 3.3V FTDI Basic.
int motor = 2;//write HIGH to turn on
int laser = 3;//write HIGH to turn on
int swtch = 10;
int button = 11;
void setup() {
pinMode(swtch, INPUT_PULLUP);//internal pullup
pinMode(button, INPUT_PULLUP);//internal pullup
digitalWrite(motor, LOW);
digitalWrite(laser, LOW);
void loop() {
if(digitalRead(button) == LOW)//spin motor when button is pressed
digitalWrite(motor, HIGH);
digitalWrite(motor, LOW);
if(digitalRead(swtch) == LOW)//turn laser on with switch
digitalWrite(laser, HIGH);
digitalWrite(laser, LOW);
There is one downside to driving a motor with the Mini FET Shield. Unlike a traditional H-bridge, such as the IC found on our Ardumoto Shield, the FET can only turn the motor in one direction. If you need your motor to move in both directions, you may need to find a different solution.
With that, you should have a working project that utilizes the features of the Mini FET Shield.

Saturn, Romania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saturn is a summer resort on the Romanian seacoast, on the Black Sea, 1 km (0.62 mi) north of Mangalia.
Features and Climate[edit]
Completed in 1972, the resort has two major beaches: Adras beach, located in the northern part of the resort, closer to Venus, and Diana beach in the south, located near the town of Mangalia. The climate in the area of Comorova is warmer compared to other seaside resorts such as Mamaia, Eforie or Costineşti. This is because the Comorova resorts are located in the southernmost area, but also because of the reduce of Comorova forest which cooled the area. In winter, aside from several guards and maintenance staff, the resort is deserted.

Errors in determining the direction of the visual axis in the presence of defocus
Atchison, David A., Smith, George, & Charman, William N. (1998) Errors in determining the direction of the visual axis in the presence of defocus. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 18(5), pp. 463-467.
The visual axis is the ray path from the fixation point to the fovea by way of the nodal points. Such a ray path does not exist in unaccommodated vision when the fixation point does not coincide with the far point of the eye because of induced or natural defocus. Nevertheless an approximation to the visual axis can be obtained by the position of a small pupil close to the cornea for which a bichromatic vernier target appears correctly aligned. When the visual axis is determined, an eye rotation from the usual fixation position must occur, which is reversed upon removing the small pupil. Upon engaging in any experiment for which the visual axis is then used as a reference, there is an error in this reference position. We develop simple paraxial equations to estimate this error. We show that these equations have good accuracy. The error associated with locating the visual axis at the cornea is 0.002 mm per dioptre of defocus, which is small enough to be ignored.

Having already looked at my favourites at this year's French
Open, it's now time to take a look at my outside tips at Roland Garros.
Francesca Schiavone
It's impossible to talk about Roland Garros without
mentioning the reigning champion. A year
ago, Schiavone was a pleasure to watch because of the way she mixed up her game
and played such great tennis with so much heart.
Unfortunately, she hasn't played too well on clay this year
and I'm now beginning to doubt her motivation outside of Grand Slam events.
At her age and with a Major under her belt she will without
doubt be more motivated than ever to play the French Open again, especially
with all the good memories she has here.
But I'm not sure she has the required level to deliver another
upset this year, but I strongly recommend to everybody to watch her play if
only to marvel at her sheer love of the game.
Samantha Stosur
It has been an up and down year for Stosur since she reached
last season's final at Roland Garros. She
was very disappointing in Australia and also failed in her clay preparation but
she is finally now starting to find a bit of form.
Let's not forget that last year she arrived in Paris after a
great clay season and full of confidence. Her game, which is based on an
amazing kick-on serve and a great forehand, is perfectly suited to the surface.
But Sam is often eaten up by stress. She may appear to be
confident on the outside but in fact that hides a very emotional person and one
who is pretty weak when it comes to dealing with pressure.
Petra Kvitova
Next up is a player who I've always been a fan of. She's a top
player in the making. She's just 20 years old, very shy and still very young in
terms of maturity, but she nevertheless owns the game of a gifted lefty.
Because of her height she has a big serve and can strike
very hard from both sides (particularly with the forehand). She used to struggle
with her movement but she has lost weight and has improved a lot as a
Her win in Madrid was impressive, she reached the semi-finals
of Wimbledon last year and she has just entered the top 10. Even though clay
isn't supposed to be her best surface because it does not suit offensive
players in general, it will give Petra the time needed to set up her game plan.
She'll be a serious outsider.
Vera Zvonareva
Vera has disappointed during the first part of the season.
The clear number two in the world in 2010, she looked like she would be the
main rival for Wozniacki again. But unfortunately
for her she split her with her coach and lost her way.
She remains dangerous in Grand Slams though, because she has
the game to win on the big stage and she also has the experience of her two
final appearances.
Julia Goerges
Julia is another player I've been a fan of for a long time.
Her striking quality has seen her improve a lot, she is moving better and her
backhand is way more solid than before. Mentally, she really has reached new
heights, considering before she did not believe enough in herself. She has won
twice against Wozniacki in the past two months, winning the final in Stuttgart,
and is of course a clear outsider in Paris.
I couldn't finish without talking about Anastasia, the young
player I have worked with for two and a half years. I still like her game very much.
Don't forget how young she is (not even 20). She has all the tennis shots at
her disposal, is a true competitor and only needs to add improved fitness and a
bit more of experience to become very dangerous. I don't know when but her time
will come but maybe this year at Roland Garros she could be a revelation.

In an amazing, violent fight, Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) stopped WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) in round twelve to win another world title in an unprecedented seventh weight division on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Both fighters were on the attack from the opening bell. Pacman dropped Cotto with a right hook in round three. Cotto dominated round four, but was dropped by a left uppercut at the end of the round. Cotto fought courageously but was rocked again in the sixth by Pacman's hurtful shots coming in from all angles. Cotto began to box from the outside in the seventh with some success. However, Pacquiao continued to stalk him and break him down. Cotto was in survival mode down the stretch. Referee Kenny Bayless finally waved in off in round twelve. Time was :55.
Unbeaten "Son of a Legend" Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (41-0-1, 30 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Troy Rowland (25-3, 7 KOs) in a middleweight clash. Chavez' harder punches earned him a 99-91, 98-92, 97-93 victory. John Duddy has been mentioned as a possible future opponent for Chavez, who was officially fighting as a full-fledged middleweight for the first time. It's possible that Chavez could see action on Top Rank's December 19 Latin Fury card in Cancun.
In a stunner, unbeaten but unheralded jr middleweight Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KOs), outboxed and dethroned WBA super welterweight world champion Daniel Santos (32-4-1, 23 KOs) over twelve highly technical rounds. Foreman was credited with a knockdown in round two when an off-balance Santos' glove touched the canvas, had the three-time world champion hurt in round four, and generally gave Santos fits withhis quickness and movement. There were many head clashes in the fight. Foreman punctuated his win with another knockdown of Santos in the twelfth. Scores were 116-110, 117-109, 117-109.
Former world title challenger and "Contender: Season One" star Alfonso Gomez (20-4-2, 10 KOs) upset WBC #7 welterweight Jesus Soto Karass (24-3-3, 16 KOs), winning a six round technical decision. Gomez was right at the side of his right eye by an unintentional headbutt in round three and the cutbothered Gomez thereafter. The cards read 58-54, 57-55, 57-55, all for Gomez. Soto-Karass was deducted points for low blows in rounds three and four.

With the PC version of Eric Chahi's god-game delayed by a few weeks, I've opted to sully my body and mind with the now-out Xbox version in order to get a sense of what we're in for. I promise I washed my hands afterwards. I can't tell you anything about the PC take on From Dust's performance or controls or DRM, and nor can I until I've spent good hours with that version, but I can give you a sense of how it plays presuming it's broadly unchanged from its console cousin.

One last physics problem left:
Peggy drives from City A to City B in 50 minutes. City A is 75.1km from City O in a direction of 25degrees west of south. City B is 23.9km from City O in a direction of 20degrees south of west. Using City O as your origin, find (a) the displacement and (b)Peggy's average velocity for the trip.
answer: Peggy drove____km at___degrees in which direction ,at an average of ____km/hr
Take the vector from O to B and subtract the vector from O to A (which is the same as adding the vector from A to O). The result will be the displacement vector from A to B. The vector components of the vector from A to b will tell you the direction.
Divide the displacement vector magnitude (which will be in km) by 5/6 hr to get the average velocity in km/hr
I got 99, round to 100 for answer as the total displacement at a direction east of south. how do I find the degrees? And for the average velocity I would take 100 divided by 5/6?
use the component method to solve the the angle..
You did not do the vector subtraction correctly. Both A and B are in the third quadrant in relation to O.
The components of OA are
-75.1 sin 25 i - 75.1 cos 25 j
= -31.7 i - 68.1 j
The components of OB are
-23.9 cos 20 i - 23.9 sin 20 j
= -22.5 i - 8.17 j.
(The j component is north and the i component is east in my notation)
The vector from A to B is
OB - OA = 9.2 i + 44.2 j
The total displacement is 45.1 km. The direction travelled is east of north by an angle arctan 9.2/44.2 = 11.7 degrees
Ok, so the 45.1 is total displacement, to get the average km/hour do I take the total displacement (45.1) divided by 50 minutes(total time from A to B)...getting 0.902 km/hour, that doesn't seem correct.
that didn't work...this is what the homework website told me was the correct way:
sqrt(23.9cos200degr - )75.1cos245)^2 + (23.9sin200 - 75.1sin 245)^2 = 60.6 km
displacement is
tan-1 {(23.9sin 200)-(75.1sin 245)} / {(23.9cos200)- (75.1cos245)} = 81 degrees north of east
then...60.6 at 81degrees/(50 min)(1hr/60min) = 73 km/h at 81 degrees N of E
I don't understand why they used 200 and 245 instead of the given degrees?
To get km/hr, you divide by 5/6 hour, not 50 minutes.
I may have made a math error in the vector subtraction. The method was correct. That is as far as I have time to go with this.
As far as the angles go, 20 degrees west of south is the same as 200 degrees counterclockwise from east, and 25 degrees west of south is 245 counterclockwise from east. Sines (for north) and cosines (for east) can be used with those angles, and I assume the homework website got it right.
oh, I understand now why they used those numbers. thank you for all your input on this physics problem, i really appreciate it.

Why Entrepreneurial Behavior is the Key to Understanding Success
Bird is an expert on entrepreneurship and leadership. "But there is not a lot researchers know about selling."Somewhere between the image of the bootstrapping entrepreneur and the serious study of him, there is a missing link. Bird and others in her field know a bit about the way entrepreneurs think and the motivation they possess to work long hours, seek investor funding, and stay focused even after rejection.
But no one knows much about what those entrepreneurs actually do to make it happen.
While there is an extensive body of research surrounding entrepreneurial ventures, Bird noted that it tends to focus on everything except the specific actions that entrepreneurs take to get their business off the ground.
Bird points to research that explores what entrepreneurs think, research that tells us how they behave once they are in a more established business, and research that shows how investors approach entrepreneurs.
"I have come to realize that entrepreneur behavior is really underrepresented," said Bird, who has been mining the topic for more than two decades, ever since she wrote her doctoral dissertation on entrepreneurs' intentions. That's why she is currently leading efforts to find common terms and measures for entrepreneurial behavior.
"What I want to know," says Bird, "is how entrepreneurs got their first sale."
The first dollar is the hardest
Much of Bird's research surveys the state of knowledge about entrepreneurs and highlights what is missing from it—something she has referred to as the "inattention to the concept of behavioral repertoire." She calls for greater research into what exactly early-stage entrepreneurs do to sell their product or service.
"If we can agree on some basic behaviors and find common, reliable, and valid measures, we could build a theory of entrepreneurs' behavior—when are certain behaviors more useful and effective in key outcomes such as gaining funding, gaining sales, hiring talent, survival, and when do they matter less," Bird argues in her forthcoming paper, which will be published as a chapter in the Handbook of Entrepreneurial Cognition.
"Professor Bird is, hands down, one of the most influential people driving attention to entrepreneur behavior," said Leon Schjoedt, Associate Professor at Indiana University's Judd Leighton School of Business and Economics.
Schjoedt, who worked with Bird to co-edit the Fall 2012 issue of the journal Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, says that understanding more about the behavior and decision-making processes of entrepreneurs would serve students who hope to one day start a business, and would also drive economic benefits.
In a healthy economy, he noted, new businesses create more new jobs than are lost in established businesses, and also serve consumers by filling gaps in markets and driving innovation.
Beyond Jeff Bezos
But why—in a culture seemingly full of admiration for entrepreneurs—is there so little knowledge about the way they work to build a business? Bird and other academics who study the topic say it comes down to a couple of key, interrelated problems:
The difficulty in obtaining good data. Research is only as good as the underlying data, but researchers have historically struggled to locate a large enough pool of entrepreneurs to constitute a representative sample.
"In early research into entrepreneurship, we took what we could get," said Kelly Shaver, professor at the College of Charleston, who, like Bird, served as chair of the entrepreneurship division of the Academy of Management.
Shaver said that researchers often would find entrepreneurs from tax records or member lists from groups such as the Better Business Bureau, but such an approach did not tend to produce a representative sample, nor did it provide a control group. As a result, even academic papers on the topic tend to include a lot of "conceptualization" in the absence of hard data.
And measuring behavior in particular is hard, Bird explained, noting that one common form of research based on surveying individuals often has issues with validity, and observation-based forms of research are time consuming.
The persistence of stereotypes. The romanticized stereotype of the startup that was built with an idea and a lot of sweat is so pervasive that it may influence students, researchers, and entrepreneurs themselves. The popularity of this not entirely accurate story may be due in part to the lack of good data on entrepreneur behavior.
But students who accept the stereotype may mistakenly see the process of building a business as simply creating a product when, in reality, it is a set of activities.
According to Bird, the persistence of such stereotypes poses a problem with surveying entrepreneurs. "They will tell you what sounds good, rather than what is true," she explained.
Biases are also prevalent in the classroom, where many teachers have found that students, asked to name an entrepreneur, are more likely to name the late Steve Jobs—who at the time of his death oversaw one of the world's largest companies—than someone who more recently had success starting a company.
Although the information technology sector has indeed produced many successful entrepreneurs, high-tech startups are only a small portion of new businesses. Each year about 600,000 new businesses are started in the United States, and most of them are not in the high-tech sector, said Schjoedt.
From Idea to Action
Bird and other researchers hope that if they can push past the stereotypes with sound data, they can help arm would-be entrepreneurs with better information. There may not be a single formula for success, but they say there is clearly room to bring down the high failure rate among entrepreneurs.
"There are a lot of entrepreneurs with good ideas but bad execution," said Jeffrey Pollack, assistant professor at the University of Richmond's Robins School of Management. "Entrepreneurs are often so focused on getting the resources for their venture that they fail to take a step back and think about what they are doing in a systematic way."
Pollack said that Bird's research has helped to "focus the field of entrepreneurship in a different direction" based on better data collection and concrete observation.
While every business student stands to benefit from better information about best practices, Bird maintains that this information is especially critical in the startup venture, where behavior probably plays a more crucial role than in larger businesses with established practices in place.
Some of the entrepreneur behaviors she believes warrant closer study include the time the entrepreneur spends developing contacts, the way entrepreneurs communicate with customers, the way they display emotion, whether and how they improvise, and how they approach investors.
A core question she keeps returning to relates to that first dollar and what she calls "the behavior of selling."
In addition to identifying the right questions, Bird said that researchers have a few options in collecting accurate data. They can base their research on surveys of the entrepreneur, but take steps to control for biases and ensure that they have a representative sample.
No Easy Answer
One of the most reliable ways to extract a research sample of entrepreneurs from the general population is a process known as "random dialing," in which the researcher contacts large numbers of households by phone (or some other means), in the same fashion that large national surveys such as the Labor Department's monthly employment surveys are conducted. These researchers ask if they are in the process of starting a business, and then proceeds with a series of yes or no questions.
The researcher eventually collects a set of data that can compare entrepreneur behavior to that of the general population, but the process is time consuming and costly. Bird believes there is great merit in this sort of research, but that it tends to yield surface data rather than deeper insights.
Another option, she said, is observational research, which is, like it sounds, based on observing individual entrepreneurs rather than asking them questions. As with random dialing, the process is time consuming.
"The researcher pays a price for rich observation," said Bird. "Two or three years of observation might produce enough data for a single article."
One possible hybrid of these two methods, she suggested, would be a beeper or cell phone "ping"-type method, where nascent entrepreneurs agree to be interrupted at random times during the day to report on their action.
Although most of the methods that she thinks have merit take time and are expensive, Bird said that this sort of exhaustive research is the only way to advance the study of entrepreneurship and fill in the gaps.
"If you want to be an entrepreneur, it's important to know yourself—your skills, your willingness to persist, fail and try again. You need to "know the territory" and your audience as you pitch your idea and build a team and gather resources. You need to know when to act and when to restrain action."

Hi, my name is Yannick, I live in France and I make games during my spare time. I love old school 3D games, but also playing with pixels. My main tools are Unity 3D and Visual Studio but depending of the project, I switch to MonoGame/XNA or HTML5 / WebGL. Since I started, I have released games (see below) for many platforms such as Android Playstore, Windows Store, or simply itch.io. I also like a lot Game Jams, because it's one of the best place to meet talented people and work with them. Finally I give talks about game development.

U-Pb dating of 1035 detrital zircons from twelve spatially-distributed samples of the Paleoproterozoic Vishnu Schist reveals a bimodal 207Pb/ 206Pb age probability diagram with peaks at 1.8 Ga and 2.5 Ga. Surprisingly, only 13% of detrital zircon ages overlap with the published depositional age range of 1750–1741 Ma. The similarity of the age distributions in all samples constrains possible suturing of crustal blocks to pre-Vishnu Schist deposition rather than during the peak 1710-1680 Ma deformation. Of all grains analyzed, 15% overlap at 2σ with the 1.84 ± 1 Ga Elves Chasm orthogneiss of western Grand Canyon. This supports field evidence that Vishnu Schist was deposited on 1.84 Ga arc basement rather than in a juvenile 1.75 Ga arc setting. Archean grains of 3.8–2.5 Ga comprise 30% of all grains. A comparison of the > 2.2 Ga ages from the Vishnu Schist (495 grains) with compilations of zircon ages from other cratons does not support provenances in the Wyoming, South China, or Siberian cratons; instead sources may be located in Gawler craton of Australia, North China craton, or Antarctica. If the detrital zircons were far-traveled, this is a new constraint for viable reconstructions of the Nuna supercontinent. However, given the high percentage of pre-1.8 Ga zircons, unexposed proximal basement sources are more likely, resulting in a model by which Vishnu sediments were derived from Mojave crust that consists of Archean and 1.9-1.8 Ga crust, now in the subsurface, that was unroofed during Vishnu deposition.

Today the pen was passed and Vermont officially appointed the great Edward Koren as the state's newest Cartoonist Laureate taking over the reigns from Burlington's James Kochalka.
Governor Peter Shumlin, back from some Obama facetime in Washington DC, welcomed the Brookfield, VT firefighter and longtime New Yorker contributor to Montpelier and offered his congratulations.
After a Senate meet-and-greet, Ed appeared before the Vt. legislature where the Cartoonist Laureate resolution was read on the State House floor. Once official, Ed's laureate powers kicked in and he transformed into one of his cartoon creations. Ed and I then climbed aboard his giant crow quill pen that flew us through the cold Vermont sky, over the White River, and to The Center for Cartoon Studies for a public lecture and reception.
But before Ed could bewitch us with tales of his long and hairied storied career, proper tributes had to be made! Ed's fellow New Yorker cartoonists hold him in high esteem!
"I've known Ed for many years. He's a genuinely good egg, and a terrific, funny cartoonist. But what makes his work so special is not just his sense of humor, but that he has created a parallel universe peopled– if that is the right word– by endearingly strange characters which we enter every time we see one of his cartoons." —Roz Chast
Harry Bliss sent along this audio tribute:
And from New Yorker editor David Remnick:
"The great imaginative artists, comic or seriocomic (what other kinds are there?), are great at least in part because they create a world: Baldwin's Harlem, Faulkner's hamlet, Chekhov's dachas. Ed Koren not only created a world—the Koren worlds are both urban and Vermontian, but all Koren—he also created creatures, part human, part fantastical, to represent and give voice to all of our anxieties, joys, and craziness. Long live Ed Koren, his world and his creatures!"
Ed, it was great spending the day with you! You're the best!

Sting has been taken off tna roster on website! Plus willow and Jeff hardy both on roster! Foes this mean that
The will be presented as different people?
I was wrong about sting I checked again!
This maybe the start of something for TNA featuring more X-Division talent ! I for one like it because it gives focus to a different style of wrestling. As well new storylines and focus on a different title besides the WHC all the time. Smart move TNA, may be two or three more strong X-Division guys like Peety Williams ( I just love his finisher) and TNA will have something unique all it's on again.
Both Sanada and Tigre Uno did absolutely amazing jobs in the matches, where they both won. The X-division is definitely going in the right direction. Along with these TNA debuts, all of the returns were to the benefit of TNA.
I really, REALLY liked Sanada and Tigre Uno! Is Sanada apart of TNA now? And I think Storm/Gunner stole the show last night. Anyone agree?

Coroner Confirms Snake Killed Toddler
Asphyxiation is the preliminary cause of death of Shaianna Hare, the 2-year-old Sumter County girl found dead in her crib with the family's Burmese python wrapped around her body Wednesday morning, according to Lt. Bobby Caruthers of the Sumter County Sheriff's Office.
"The medical examiner's preliminary report lists asphyxiation as the cause of death and confirmed the marks on the girl's head and arms are bite marks," Caruthers said at a press briefing in Bushnell today.
Meanwhile, the python is being cared for at an undisclosed facility licensed to possess this type of snake, according to the news release.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) investigators removed the python and a red-tailed boa constrictor from the residence yesterday (July 1) after the snakes' owners voluntarily signed them over to the State of Florida.
A veterinarian examined and treated the python's stab wounds, and the snake is recovering at the undisclosed facility, where it will remain until officials complete the investigation into the child's death, according to the release.
"At this point, the snake is evidence in the case. However, once the case has been concluded, it will be offered as a donation to the facility that is currently caring for it," said FWC investigator Janice Jones.
The Burmese python, classified by the FWC as a Reptile of Concern, had been stabbed by 32-year-old Charles Jason Darnell after he found it wrapped around Shaianna, his girlfriend's daughter, Wednesday morning. Darnell said the snake had escaped its cage sometime during the night.
State law requires that people have permits to possess Burmese pythons or any Reptile of Concern. Neither Darnell nor his girlfriend, 19-year-old Jaren Ashley Hare, had a permit for a snake. A permit costs $100 annually, and those wishing to possess such an animal must show on their application their understanding of animal husbandry, nutrition and caging requirements for the particular animal.
One requirement for a Reptile of Concern is that it must be kept under lock and key. The snake was not.
FWC investigators are working in conjunction with the Sumter County Sheriff's Office and the State Attorney for the Fifth Judicial Circuit, which covers Sumter, Lake, Marion, Citrus and Hernando counties. The FWC's role is to investigate and recommend any charges relating to violations of the captive wildlife rules. Such violations are second-degree misdemeanors, which are criminal and carry a maximum penalty of $500 fine and 60 days in jail.

Full-Mouth Rehabilitation in Madison
Blending Function and Esthetics
A healthy mouth should function efficiently and without discomfort. A misaligned bite, also called a malocclusion, can throw functionality out the window, causing supporting muscles to work overtime and adding to the fatigue of your temporomandibular joints. As these small joints become overworked and overstressed, you will suffer increasing discomfort in the form of headaches and earaches, as well as back, neck, and shoulder pain. If these symptoms sound familiar, you may be suffering from TMJ. The dental professionals at Oak Park Dental can discuss the benefits of full-mouth rehabilitation.
Can Full-Mouth Rehabilitation Help Me?
Full-mouth rehabilitation targets the goal of bringing your jaw, teeth, muscles, and nerves back into harmony for a smile that is beautiful and comfortable. After a thorough examination that includes TMD diagnosis with TENS and K-7, Dr. Gyurina will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that restores every tooth to its optimal dimensions and position to fully correct your bite. Once your TMD therapy is complete, your corrected and restored bite will properly support facial muscles and allow your TM joints to function at normal capacity, thus alleviating your painful symptoms.
Depending on your unique needs, your full-mouth rehabilitation may include multiple procedures such as dental crowns, inlays, onlays, bridgework, dental implants, and even cosmetic dental work. Dr. Gyurina will carefully discuss all aspects of your full-mouth restoration and you can be assured that the most advanced techniques and dental materials will be utilized for natural-looking restorations that stand the test of time.
We invite you to join our growing patient family and experience the difference exceptional dentistry and a relaxed environment make in your oral health. Our Madison general, family, cosmetic, and neuromuscular dentistry practice also serves patients from the surrounding communities of Middleton, Verona, Oregon, and Monona. Contact us to make an appointment with your local dentist in Madison today. We look forward to enhancing your life, health, and smile!

Research published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that some bacterial cells carry a molecular 'suicide complex' to kill themselves in the event of lethal infection by viral parasites. Such 'altruistic suicide' prevents or limits viral replication and protects the rest of the bacterial population from subsequent infection.
The new research demonstrates that bacteria accomplish this through a high-risk strategy in which their lethal weapon is kept to hand at all times, but is neutralised until viral infection of the bacterial cell triggers its release from inhibition. In the longer term, the discovery could be exploited to enable the development of new small molecule antibacterial drugs.
The mechanism was discovered in the bacterial plant pathogen Pectobacterium atrosepticum by researchers led by Professors George Salmond and Ben Luisi in the University of Cambridge's Department of Biochemistry. Their work shows that a suicide complex, ToxIN, is not induced but exists all the time in the bacterial cell; to avoid killing the bacterial cell, it is held in a suppressed, inert form until viral infection triggers the release of a protein toxin (ToxN) from an RNA antitoxin (ToxI) partner. The toxin then causes the death of both the bacterium and the infecting virus.

For Ashleyluvssugar, trainer Peter Eurton was just looking for a starting point to 2017 when he entered the four-time grade 2 winner in the $250,000 California Cup Turf Classic.
A group of 32 horses, ranging from a trio grade III winners to an 0-for-12 maiden, have been nominated to possibly take on California Chrome in the $100,000 Winter Challenge Dec. 17 at Los Alamitos Race Course.
George Todaro and Jerry Hollendorfer's G. G. Ryder will seek his second straight victory in the All American Stakes (gr. III) May 30 at Golden Gate Fields.
What a View showed some versatility April 9 to secure his fourth straight victory on the Santa Anita Park turf.
Although a forecast calling for rain may affect the field, it can be argued that one of the deepest fields on a loaded stakes schedule April 9 is the $100,000 Thunder Road Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Santa Anita Park.
At any level of racing, there is something a bit magical about an undefeated horse. Make it a 3-year-old colt, and the mind goes to one place.
Flamboyant provided the first graded stakes stunner of 2016 Jan. 2, when the 46-1 shot caught favored grade I winner Obviously in the final moments to win the $200,000 San Gabriel Stakes (gr. IIT) at Santa Anita Park.
Two grade I winners will go toe-to-toe in the $200,000 San Gabriel Stakes (gr. IIT) Jan. 2 at Santa Anita Park, but they couldn't differ more in style and experience.
Things have been working out for Victor Espinoza lately; the $500,000 Gold Cup (gr. I) at Santa Anita Park was the most recent example.
Finnegans Wake has found success running on grass late in his career, but trainer Peter Miller feels it is time to send him back to dirt for the $500,000 Gold Cup (gr. I) at Santa Anita Park June 27.

The Wright State men's soccer team recorded its second straight shutout over an opponent from Indiana Tuesday night, winning 2-0 at IUPUI.
The Raiders opened the scoring at the 26-minute mark of the first half as freshman defender Jacob Stovall recorded his first career goal, flicking a restart into the lower left-hand side of the net. Freshman forward Eric Lynch was credited with the assist.
It stayed that way until WSU added an insurance goal at the 77:17 mark of the second half. Sophomore midfielder Chris Dupont tallied his second goal of the season as he connected on a drive from 25-yards out. Lynch picked up his second assist of the match, giving him four on the year overall, while senior midfielder Derek Zuniga also had an assist, his second of the season.
Freshman goalkeeper Tyler Blackmer, making just his third career start, posted his second straight shutout as he recorded three saves.
The Raiders finished with a commanding 32-11 shot advantage and led 6-1 in corner kicks.
Wright State (3-4-1) resumes Horizon League play on Saturday, October 5, with an 8:00 Eastern matchup at Milwaukee.

Maybe It's My Inner Fred Mertz
News item today:
"NEW YORK - Students are using a new ring tone to receive messages in class -- and many teachers can't even hear the ring.
Some students are downloading a ring tone off the Internet that is too high-pitched to be heard by most adults. With it, high schoolers can receive text message alerts on their cell phones without the teacher knowing.
As people age, many develop what's known as aging ear -- a loss of the ability to hear higher-frequency sounds.
The ring tone is a spin-off of technology that was originally meant to repel teenagers -- not help them. A Welsh security company developed the tone to help shopkeepers disperse young people loitering in front of their stores while leaving adults unaffected. The company called their product the "Mosquito."
Donna Lewis, a teacher in Manhattan, says her colleague played the ring for a classroom of first-graders -- and all of them could hear it, while the adults couldn't hear anything."
Maybe it's my inner Fred Mertz...but if I was a teacher and I was on to this i any way shape or form, I'd collect the cellphones like my teachers used to make us spit gum out. Then, I'd make them bring their parents into class if they wanted their phones back.
Of course, then some kid would get lawyered up, claim they were stranded in an unsafe neighborhood with no way to call Mom or Dad, and sue me. And the parents would no doubt be glad to foot the legal bill. God, I can hardly wait for my son to grow out of Thomas The tank Engine and into ring-tones.

Vintage Air bi level heater
I pulled the Vintage Air a/c out of my car for many reasons - but primarily because of too much underhood/dash claptrap for an 'A' making it extremely difficult to work on, and secondarily - it's a roadster . Instead of the a/c I've installed a Vintage Air Bi-Level 50516-VUZ heater just to keep the LL's hands warm. It was a very easy installation with only a couple of wiring terminations besides the ground. Vintage does a complete wire preassembly to the relays and to the fan plugs.
I do have a concern and have discussed it with Vintage and they 'swear' that I've installed it just fine!!
There is a solenoid operated water valve that picks up with the ignition turns on and they tell me that it's because it's a NC relay under power and that until I actually turn on the heat, it will stay that way then open. That solenoid gets HOT!! It does not make sense to me to operate this way, that it should be closed, until I turn the switch and tell the system I want heat. I've installed a toggle switch to cut the power to that solenoid - I DO NOT like something that hot in a confined space unless there is water flowing through it to maintain some temperature control - and yes, there is water in the system, but haven't put the antifreeze back until I do my final hose checks (I learned my lesson last fall with a BIG puddle - but it's in a heated area now).
I need some thoughts on this before I contact Vintage again.

It looks like I finally stumped the electrical "experts"
(Dang - I wish Doc was still with us!!)
Dave W
Irelands child
Dave in the electrical world we refer to a relays condition as "shelf condition", (de-energized) as in no power applied. So are you telling us that the relay when powered up contacts are closed sending current to the solenoid? Is that actually a servo driven water valve, like the Gen II system?
Edit update: I'm looking at the wiring diagram, will get back to you.
I'm on my way to the NSRA Burlington show, (sans car) so may be spotty in response as we will be in our camper with a weak WiFi when not at the show.
Dave W
Irelands child
I just looked at the wiring diagram and the hot water valve is NOT a servo driven feedback valve, it's just on-off.
The way I understand the operation is such:
ign key off: power relay is not energized, high blower relay is not energized, no power to hot water valve (hot water valve is open....right?).
Ign key on: power relay is now hot which also sends voltage to the fan switch. I do not know the configuration of the fan switch, is the "C" terminal hot even when the fan switch is in the off position? If it is then that will energize the high blower relay (opening it's N/C contacts) which will de-energize the hot water valve opening it.
If that is right, then the hot water valve is obviously a spring loaded valve that remains open until 12 volts is applied.
That means the valve is closed (energized) at all times and only moves to the de-energized position (open) when heat is called for.
I have no idea why Vintage Air chose to use a normally open hot water valve Still looking.......stay tuned.
Wow Dave, you took out the whole system? I knew you didn't care for it much. Might fit in my '33, theres a lot of room under the dash.
Hey Ya'll, I took a look at this setup and it is a bit strange. I took a look at the Vintage Air website downloads, this is what I came up with.
1) They don't list a 50516-VUZ heater. They do have a 50616-VUZ heater.
2) The wiring diagrams for the 50616 are a bit misleading because they are calling the (heater control valve relay) a (high blower relay).
3) If this is the correct diagram, the forementioned relay is a heater control valve relay(it has nothing to do with blower speed).
4) The heater control valve is normally open(shelf position)
5) When you turn on the heater switch(any speed) the C contact is energized which in turn energizes the heater control valve relay which opens its normally closed contacts. This de-energizes the valve which opens it and allows hot water to flow.
6) The only reason I could think of for using a normally open valve is to provide fail safe operation of the heater and defroster in the event of an electrical circuit failure.(You wouldn't have the blower,but you would have heat in the heater core)
7) If the heater control valve coil getting hot bothers you, it can be replaced with a normally closed valve and move the wire thats currently on terminal 87A(NC) to terminal 87(NO)(on the HCV relay or HB relay as they call it) this way the valve will only be energized when you turn the heater on.
If you have questions let me know. olnolan
olnolan, You are correct, and I came to the same conclusion about doing a little rewire and a different control valve. Problem is I don't think Vintage Air has any different. You would probably have to go to a Ford dealership and look at their hot water valves. I know some earlier 80ish Fords had a hot water valve.
I think a simple manual ball valve might take care of the problem. After all, up here in the Northeast, once you need heat, you need it for about 8 months straight and about 5 of those are not hot rod friendly anyway.
Weren't you planning on moving south Dave? You might want to hang on to the A/C unit
Dave must not be able to find a WIFI, just pull into a Starbucks.
Maybe, Just maybe the WiFi here will not crash for once. I tried for 2 hours to get on last evening and every time I was able to raise this forum - crash, then reboot to their system. Starbucks (or similar) - where we are in the Adirondacks the closest is 12 miles to the ferry across Lake Champlain, then 25-30 miles to Burlington .
Now with that said, thanks for the replies, Vince and OLNOLAN. It looks like what you have done is confirm my suspicions about the, IMHO, 'backasswards' way the Vintage Air decided to "engineer" the wiring for the heater. Not sure how I'm going to correct it but both Vince and George(Arrowhead) have good ideas - an NC or a ball valve would do the cure. My current fix of a toggle switch is only a temporary as it only masks the problem.
George - I may decide to sell the removed a/c - but who knows. VA may get hot enough to reinstall - but I really doubt it.
Dave W
Irelands child
I got to thinking about that normally open hot water valve. Back when I was working at the local Ford dealership I remember tons of problems with stuck heater control valves. I think they were normally closed valves that only got cycled about three months out of the year, and as such were stuck shut when heat was called for. That could be the reason for the normally open valve.
Basakwards Valve
Dave and Vince, Just wanted to add food for thought. Vince could be right on the theory that regular cycling of the valve may keep it functioning properly. On the other hand, they could have bought a large lot of these valves, not realizing they were N.O. and figured out a way to use them. In regards to the coils getting hot, I use N.O. solenoid valves on freeze protection systems to provide fail safe operation in the event of a power failure during freezing conditions. Point here is, the solenoid coils stay energized continually for all but about 10-20 days a year that we actually see freezing conditions. The coils do stay hot, but I haven't experienced any failures. If you would prefer the N.C. solenoid valve setup, Vintage appears to have a N.C. valve on their Universal Gen 4 671400 kits, although I'm not sure its 12 volt. To easily find 12 vdc valves, look on e-bay, they have dozens priced from $14.00 and up.olnolan
I tried to respond this morning - but of course I got 'bombed out'
I can't have that much heat coming from an electrical device under the dash - so it has to be either the NO or a ball valve as suggested by Arrowhead - and not my toggle switch. It has to be done soon as I'm buttoning up the rest of the car including installing the cowl cover and the rest of the upholstery.
I'll let you know what I do shortly.
Dave W
Irelands child
After over an hour on evilBay, I've found what might be the NC valve that I can use.
This is the valve:http://cgi.ebay.com/Electric-Solenoi...4.c0.m14.l1262
Any comments?
The temp range seems a little lower then I would normally like but 195* should work. It already has the needed 5/8" inlet fittings and the innards seem to be of decent quality materials. Of course the inlet filter needs to come out - If, hopefully, it can be reached with some sort of tool!!
