With something like 100 million tablets sold and who knows how many browser capable cell phones, the folks over at that other place have instituted changes that make navigationusing those devices impossible.
Wizzley isn't great at mobile use either, but it's not outright broken. I am able to use Wizzley by removing the default "m.". In the URL.
Tablets are selling like crazy. I had over 30,000 page views from tablets and phones last month at my main website.
I hope Wizzley isn't going to do anything foolish like HP just did and I further hope that W will actually work to IMPROVE the Wizzley experience for mobile users.

It is characterized by alveolar filling with floccular material that stains positive using the periodic acid-Schiff method and is derived from surfactant phospholipids and protein components. Excessive lipoproteins accumulation in the alveoli results in severe respiratory distress.

Ross Johnston played the 2013-14 season with the Victoriaville Tigres. He will play for the Charlottetown Islanders as an overager in 2014-15.
Ross Johnston is officially a member of the Charlottetown Islanders.
The team announced the trade for the 20-year-old left-winger early Friday afternoon. The cost to acquire the Suffolk native from Victoriaville was a first-round in 2015. The pick was initially acquired in the deal that sent Yan-Pavel Laplante and Julien Leduc to Victoriaville and brought Luc Deschenes to Charlottetown.
Johnston had 10 goals, 15 assists, 25 points and 139 penalty minutes in 60 games last season.
"I'm pretty excited to get started here in August," Johnston said.

LynuxWorks[TM], Inc., a world leader in the embedded software market, announced that its LynxSecure separation kernel was independently tested with a series of performance tests at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), to help assess the use of separation kernels for future real-time, mission-critical systems.
JHU/APL ran benchmarks on LynxSecure, using a Linux operating system as the guest. The results showed good performance and stability for LynxSecure with a range of common benchmarks, including LMbench and the iPerf networking suite. The tests also demonstrated the effectiveness of LynxSecure's multi-core performance. When used with multi-core processors, LynxSecure can run multiple operating systems and applications on each core, or bind applications and operating systems to specific cores offering the utmost flexibility in system design and performance utilization.
"During our benchmark tests, we analyzed processor utilization in increasingly more complex conditions using larger loading levels," said Ed Jacques, Computer Systems Engineer at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. "Even at high loading levels, we found that the system performance remained strong. Processor utilization was close to what was observed when running the same environment on the same hardware without LynxSecure."
JHU/APL also investigated the robustness of the LynxSecure separation kernel, which supports a unified processing environment with multiple security domains. The suite of tests included a multifaceted application environment, which helped to demonstrate that LynxSecure running on Intel VT-x enabled hardware can support such complex environments with negligible impact on overall performance.
LynxSecure is a separation kernel and embedded hypervisor designed to be used in secure real-time environments to the highest levels of security. The small separation kernel part of LynxSecure maintains the real-time determinism and security separation including the definition of secure information flow policies between applications running on a single piece of embedded hardware.
"The JHU/APL benchmark tests have independently confirmed what we have known all along, which is that the LynxSecure separation kernel has the performance required to support multiple security domains on a single piece of hardware," said Robert Day, vice president of marketing at LynuxWorks.

Many people venture into website publishing for commercial reasons. That means their website will need a reliable eCommerce platform integrated into it. Linux is perfect for this which is why so many will look toward Linux when eCommerce is among their prime concerns.
CompTIA certification Powered by LPI consists of two exams, LX0-101 and LX0-102. The exams cover system architecture; Linux installation and package management; GNU and Unix commands; devices, Linux filesystems, and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. Professionals who pass the exam can work at the Linux Tips, perform maintenance tasks, assist users, and install and configure workstations.
Reliability is crucial for a hosting provider. In may not be that important for someone who is just playing around with their web site…but for any serious sites, any downtime is simply unacceptable. Another reliability issue is service – can you get help easily if you need it? Can you reach a live person if you want to? These are things to be on the lookout for.
And I will respond that for you in time, but first, for those that haven't heard of MyPadMedia all the same, I have composed a little and rattling brief description about it below.
For those who are actively engaged in the world of websites, they sometimes go by the name of webmasters. A Linux is a system that is appropriate for them as it be very compatible with open-source programming languages like Perl, PHP and Phython. By using a Linux, you can synchronize with open source nature that makes Linux hosting very good. Plus, this sort of hosting is affordable as well. So, more people will be able to use it. With it, you can use specials tools because Linux server is formed to let the users build a website according to their need.
When you install Linux, the root user is always created automatically for doing Linux system administration tasks. However, for security reasons, you should never log in to a Linux desktop as the root user.
OK, it's time to re-boot, and let your computer boot off of the DVD/CD-ROM. You'll see Linux loading up, and Viola! you've got it running on your computer off of the live CD.
Uptime: Always check the uptime of the servers on which web hosting provider is going to host your websites as if your site goes down again and again you may miss a lot of potential clients. For example if you are planning to run an E-commerce site and you took a web hosting from a provider whose server goes down many time then people who want to buy a product will not be able to visit your site and buy from someone else. You can check uptime of server in past by online tools.

if we use the term disruptive marketing in organic search sense. An example of disruptive marketing does the bottom but nearly every advert on television at the moment. You will see, instead of the brands URL you will have finders that Facebook.com/XYZ. What marketeers are trying to achieve here is to disrupt potential customers leisure time Internet use by the social media and try and sell them something was there talking to friends and family.
How we talk about disruptive marketing, is in the sense of disrupting a user's search by always presenting a client's website, a client supporting website regardless if the user searches for the short tail often competitive keywords, geo-targeted keywords, or simply longer tail for example " the user disruptive marketing in SEO."
One very successful strategy we use when trying to increase clients traffic, is to look at the longer tail keyword and calculate the necessary work, cost in relation to return. What we seek to do is disrupt a user's search, and alter the ways they currently search for the product or service.
By creating global intranets we can multiply this effect, by dominating a Google page for a particular search term. This is why when we analyse keywords and set milestones and goals for achieving a high Google page rank for each, we always go after the shortest and often the most competitive keyword, knowing full well that whilst we are working to achieve the more difficult part of the strategy, we are succeeding in picking up the low hanging fruit, or the longer tail keyword.
What we are finding is that as the Internet progresses and users become more tech savvy, the longer tail keyword or the geo-targeted keyword are coming into their own.

Hey everyone. I'm writing this blog to talk about the recent decline in viewership. I want to break it down into parts though, so below you'll see a graph with the episodes from Season 3 - iHalfoween, with the seasons following the iTunes seasons:
During Season 3, iCarly was really at the top of it's game, and that goes for Season 4 too. Between those 33 episodes, only 2 episodes were under 4 million views, and none were under 3.5 million, which is pretty amazing! iLost My Mind premiered at a lower-than expected special, but it was still good. iDate Sam and Freddie had a strangely low amount, iCan't Take It picked it up again, but then iLove You happened. Since the iLove You promo didn't talk about problems in Freddie and Sam's relationship, not many viewers watched to see the breakup. That was the first time episode viewership went under 4 million since 18 months earlier. From there, ratings kept getting worse. iStill Physco only got 5.5 million, and iMeet The First Lady only 4.3. Then Season 6 (5xx) started with a weak IApril Fools, better but not as well as expected iGOD, and plumeting iOAR and iHalfoween. In between the 12 most recent episodes, the 5 lowest watched episodes happened.
So what's happening?
1) Internet TV. I use the internet to watch shows like many others do, and if Nielsen doesn't take that into account, Cable TV will slowly lose views.
2) A Long Run Always Ends. People are moving on. I started watching iCarly when I was 9. Now I'm 14, so people are moving on from iCarly, and younger kids are more interested in Cartoon Network and Disney shows targeted at a younger audience now.
iBloop 2 should've never aired at 7 PM on a Wednesday, and promo's need to be longer. How To Rock will not be a sucess in my opinion, so I think Nick needs to do 2 things.
1) Stop combining promo's. 10 seconds is not enough time to show what an episode really is about.
2) Advertise before. Don't wait until the week before to advertise a special episode like iApril Fools and iGOD. The more the promo airs, the better chance of more people seeing it, and the better chance of more viewers. Advertise the next promo after the new episode airs. Most people won't watch HTR only for a promo for iCarly at the end. That's why I check back here.
In total, I will watch iCarly until the end, but I hope this gives a little insight to why these ratings have been dropping. Let's hope iCarly can step up it's game before it jumps the shark. :) RandomPerson246

MSD 31329 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires Set, Small Block Ford, HEI Cap
Click image to enlarge
Please note the following about this product:
- This item is sold as a set.
Reviews (0)
What's in the Box
Wires feature straight boots with 90 degree boots on the ignition end.
The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire is "the" performance wire. Engineered from the inside out, the 8.5 offers everything you have ever wanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference! In a single 12 inch of low resistance wire there is only 40-50 ohms of resistance! That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire.
MSD uses a copper alloy conductor due to its great voltage carrying capabilities. The low resistance results in less loss in spark energy so more reaches the spark plug. The conductor is wound extremely tight around a special center core. There is over 40 ft of conductor wrapped into a 1 ft of plug wire. This winding procedure, with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) "choke". This suppression capability keeps the EMI inside the wire where it cannot interfere with other electronics. The sleeve surrounding the conductor assembly is just as impressive. A proprietary blend of silicone and synthetic material produce a sleeve that is highly resistant to high heat as well as abrasion and tears.

Fiber optic glut raises questions
NEW YORK (Reuters) For years, the telecommunications
industry credo parrotted the premise of the film Field of Dreams
"Build it, and they will come."
Now, with hundreds of thousands of miles worth of fiber
optic cable lying in U.S. bankruptcy court and potentially thousands
more on the way a number of strategic and financial buyers face a puzzling
and most immediate task: What to pay for potentially valuable capacity that
may not show a meaningful return for many years?
"The value of the network has to do with what the future
revenue potential is," said independent telecommunications analyst Jeffrey Kagan.
The fact is, "the future value of these networks is still a quantum leap from
the pure asset value of these networks."
But just how far potential bidders are willing to jump
remains to be seen. With an enormous glut of capacity already on the market
and at least four other companies struggling with major financial problems,
buyers run the risk of buying cables that may lie idle for years.
The Global Crossing bankruptcy proceeding will likely set
a defining tone. The Bermuda-based company has already reached a tentative deal
to sell its assets to Asia's Hutchison Whampoa and Singapore Technologies Telemedia
for $750 million in cash.
But the company's creditors already are insisting the price
is not enough for a firm claiming $22.4 billion in assets.
Nework for sale
More than 40 potential buyers have signed confidentiality
agreements to examine Global Crossing's books. Advisers to many of those firms
say they are struggling to balance current business models with the lure of
gaining immediate reach to 100,000 customers in more than 200 cities in 27 countries.
But buying Global Crossing's assets now requires a risk
that the network will make money in the future. That may be difficult as data
transmission prices continue to drop by about 50% a year.
"At the end of the day, very few of those bidders can afford
not to have these assets generating free cash flow relatively soon," said one
investment banker not involved in the auction, but who has talked to several
potential bidders.
Established companies such as Verizon Communications or
Deutsche Telekom have the financial means and global ambition to weigh an acquisition
of Global Crossing, analysts said. Worldwide reach would give them the ability
to better serve lucrative multinational customers.
"You can pretty much bet (the large carriers) are all looking
at it," said Matthew Breckenridge, an analyst with DebtTraders Global High Yield.
"They'd be crazy not to."
Large carriers also have the ability to absorb certain
costs should demand continue to underperform expectations.
The credit market remains tight for buyout companies, meaning
their ability to raise additional cash beyond the purchase price to cover expenditures
until the fiber optic cables are utilized is limited.
"The carriers have the financial wherewithal to not only
value the asset, but also to warehouse those expenditures for a period of time
if need be," said one investment banker.
But do they need it?
Still, there remains some question whether such carriers
need Global Crossing's assets at all. There are millions of miles of fiber optic
cable already laid across the world, less than 50% of which is currently being
"If they get split apart and liquidated, there are one
or two specific assets that would attract a lot interest. They have certain
routes that are unique. But most of Global Crossing is redundant to other networks
everyone has transatlantic capacity so a lot of it has zero value,"
said an executive from one potential bidder.
Joseph Ryan, an attorney representing Global Crossing's
unsecured creditors group, said his clients are not ruling out any possible
"There isn't only one option here," Ryan said. "We don't
have to just accept whatever Hutchinson puts on the table and leave it at that."
Ryan said one option includes selling Global Crossing's
non-core businesses and then seeking an outside investor that would allow the
firm to remain as a stand-alone company.
Under the rules set forth by the bankruptcy court, bidders
can make offers for all or parts of the company by June 20.

Telescope Is to Open New Window On Most Violent Events in Cosmos
By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
Published: April 2, 1991
THE serenity of the night sky is a twinkling illusion. It masks the rampant violence in the universe, where stars collapse and explode with titanic reverberations, maelstroms of gas and dust roil galaxies at their cores, and matter and antimatter collide in mutual annihilation.
Almost nothing was known of this tumultuous universe until astronomers began to extend their sights beyond the narrow limits of visible light. New technologies have recently become much more effective in opening new windows on the heavens. By lofting instruments into space, above the atmosphere that screens out most radiations, astronomers have managed to observe at all bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio and infrared to ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths. Each kind of radiation provides a special perspective on celestial vistas and has yielded new discoveries.
The newest window now being opened is that of gamma-ray astronomy. Scientists are waiting with eagerness, and some apprehension, for the launching this week of a mammoth gamma-ray observatory into an orbit around the Earth. It is designed to undertake the most sensitive and systematic survey ever conducted of these powerful radiations, which have energies calculated in the millions of electron-volts, compared with one or two electron-volts for visible light.
Gamma rays are messengers from the universe's most violent frontiers; in some cases, they are the only source of knowledge of these events. They tell stories of the birth of chemical elements and the death of stars, of the structure at the center of the Milky Way, of enigmatic quasars, pulsars and neutron stars and of the wild turbulence where matter presumably cascades over the gravitational precipice of a black hole.
Gamma rays may help confirm the theory that black holes exist as regions of compressed matter whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. Some gamma-ray scientists now suspect that the Milky Way galaxy may be populated by a horde of relatively small black holes.
"There's so much about high-energy phenomena we don't know, we are guaranteed to have discoveries and surprises," Dr. Clifford Will, a theoretical physicist at Washington University in St. Louis, said of the new observatory for exploring gamma radiation.
The long-awaited 17-ton Gamma Ray Observatory, the largest scientific satellite ever developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is to be deployed in orbit by the space shuttle Atlantis, which is to be launched on Friday. The $600 million observatory carries four huge detectors, three of which are the size of subcompact cars, and is designed to operate at least two years and perhaps six.
Gamma rays in space have been examined from high-altitude balloons and smaller spacecraft. But Dr. Donald Kniffen, chief project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said the new observatory could revolutionize gamma-ray astronomy because it promises to provide "the greatest sensitivity, the widest spectral range and the longest observing time."
This will be the second of four planned "great observatories" to be launched by the space agency, with X-ray and infrared satellites to come later in the decade. The memory of the first, the Hubble Space Telescope, which was put into orbit a year ago, fills astronomers with unease. After the telescope reached orbit, its primary mirror was found to be flawed and slightly out of focus, reducing the quality of its images of especially distant objects.
"Everybody's nervous," said Dr. Marvin Leventhal, a gamma-ray astronomer at the A.T.&T. Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J.
But he and other scientists, as well as NASA officials, said the observatory's four detectors were independent of each other and so, unlike the case of the Hubble mirror, a single instrument failure or flaw should not affect the entire operation. They said all the instruments had been thoroughly tested on the ground and were re-examined after the discovery of Hubble's troubles. Benefits of Added Testing
By having the time for additional testing, scientists said, the Gamma Ray Observatory probably benefited by the launching postponement caused first by the Challenger accident in 1986 and then by subsequent shuttle scheduling delays. The spacecraft was built by TRW Inc. under the direction of the Goddard space center. The principal instruments were developed by scientists from the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and the European Space Agency.
The instruments are not like conventional telescopes. Gamma rays are so penetrating that they pass right through telescopes. They must, instead, be recorded and measured when they interact with a mass of crystals or liquids, a technique pioneered in the 1960's by Dr. Robert C. Haymes and others at Rice University in Houston. When the rays strike these materials, they produce flashes of light, or scintillations. These pulses are recorded on photomultiplier tubes, electronic sensors much more sensitive than the human eye. The brighter the light pulse, the higher the energy of the gamma ray.

Stocks shot higher on Wednesday, with the Federal Reserve's upbeat assessment of the U.S. economy underlining widespread optimism that the recovery is gaining traction.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 12,288.17, up 61.53 points, or 0.5 per cent. The broader S&P 500 closed at 1,336.32, up 8.31 points, or 0.6 per cent – representing a gain of slightly more than 100 per cent since hitting an intraday low of 666 in March, 2009. In Canada, the S&P/TSX composite index closed at 14,059.18, up 129.83 points, or 0.9 per cent.
Investors looked beyond a rise in U.S. core producer prices for January, which reflects growing concerns about rising inflationary pressures, and instead focused on strong home construction, rising earnings and an upwardly revised growth forecast from the Fed. In the minutes from its last monetary policy meeting, the Fed raised its growth forecast for 2011 to 3.4 per cent to 3.9 per cent, from an earlier forecast of 3 per cent to 3.6 per cent.
In earnings news, Dell Inc. on Tuesday sailed past expectations with its quarterly earnings, due largely to rising corporate sales. The shares rose 11.9 per cent and raised other stocks in the technology sector. Hewlett-Packard Co. rose 2.1 per cent.
In other moves, JPMorgan Chase & Co. rose 2.4 per cent, Boeing Co. rose 1.5 per cent and Walt Disney Co. rose 1.4 per cent. However, key defensive stocks, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Procter & Gamble Co. and McDonald's Corp. fell.
Among Canadian stocks, blue-chip energy stocks were strong, with Suncor Energy Inc. up 3.8 per cent and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. up 4.2 per cent. By comparison, the rise in crude oil was quite tame, rising 67 cents (U.S.), to $84.99 a barrel.
Rogers Communications Inc., which missed expectations with its quarterly earnings, nonetheless rebounded from an earlier decline during the day, closing 1.9 per cent higher. Manulife Financial Corp. rose 2 per cent and Research In Motion Ltd. rose 4.2 per cent.Report Typo/Error

They range from a young girl and an elderly artist (Margaret Rutherford) to a boozy Englishman (Jimmy Edwards) and a hardened diplomat. Their experiences --- both amorous and otherwise --- are revealed in a series of vignettes, which include the young girl's new romance with a Frenchman, the elderly artist's search for the Mona Lisa and the Englishman's prolonged stay at a local pub.

Awards: PhD
Study modes: Full-time, Part-time
Funding available
Programme website: Scottish History
Here in the nation's capital, Scottish history is taught by a strong and distinguished team, comprising seven core academic staff members, plus a number of postdoctoral fellows and associated staff.
The subject has been taught at the University of Edinburgh since the prestigious Sir William Fraser Chair of Scottish History and Palaeography was established in 1901. The post is currently held by Professor Ewen Cameron.
History at Edinburgh is one of the largest and most distinguished departments of its kind. In fact, we hold the oldest established Chair in Scottish History.
Our teaching offers a rich diversity of topics, delivered by a diverse, multinational group of historians whose interests cross many periods, regions and specialisms.
From the Picts to the founding of the new Scottish Parliament, we can offer expertise in all periods of study, from early medieval times to the present day. Other members of staff have published extensively on topics including early medieval battles, late medieval kingship, saints' cults, urban history, the Reformation, the witch hunt, government and finance, the Highlands in all periods, Scotland's external relations (especially with America) and its place in the Union.
Scottish History is home to the Scottish Centre for Diaspora Studies, the first such research unit in the field. The Centre was formally established in spring 2008 to advance historical enquiry into this vital subject.
You will be assigned two supervisors who provide expert academic guidance on your chosen research topic. You will meet regularly to discuss your progress and research plans, as well as drafts of your thesis/dissertation chapters, conference papers and potential articles.
In addition to individual supervision, you will also have access to research training and postgraduate seminars.
Our home is the William Robertson Wing, an A-listed building on the southern edge of Edinburgh's Old Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Designed by the distinguished 19th-century architect Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, the building – part of the University's Old Medical School – has recently been refurbished to an exceptional standard, providing state-of-the-art facilities for research, teaching and study.
Graduate students are able to use two further large School study and resource rooms, which are open to all staff and students. There is access to lockers equipped with laptop charging facilities as well as standard lockers.
The building is wireless enabled and includes state of the art teaching rooms, meeting rooms, a common room, a refreshment area, and open social/breakout areas.

Decades of battering (through unresolved grievances) and discomfort with automated systems have...
Reliance BIG TV is believed to be in discussions with content providers like Max Broadcasting, Warner Home Entertainment Group and CNN to acquire non-film content for its pay-per-view (PPV) platform
Anil Ambani Group's direct-to-home (DTH) arm Reliance BIG TV is believed to be in discussions with content providers like Max Broadcasting, Warner Home Entertainment Group and CNN to acquire non-film content for its pay-per-view (PPV) platform, reports PTI.
Company sources said that Reliance BIG TV is in discussions with Max Broadcasting, Warner Brother Home Video, Warner Home Entertainment Group, Comedy Central and CNN to sign non-film content acquisition deals, which are expected to close by March this year.
The deals are expected to offer PPV revenue upside of nearly Rs500 crore over the next four years and a 10% revenue market share in the DTH VAS category.
While an agreement with Max Broadcasting would provide access to sports video content, a deal with Warner Brother Home Video and Warner Home Entertainment Group will enable BIG TV showcase exclusive music events.
When contacted, a company spokesperson declined to comment.
Comedy Central, which currently owns syndication rights to comedy shows from across the globe, will help BIG TV add the genre to its PPV platform and a deal with CNN/Fox and ABC Networks will provide the company real-time access to current affairs programmes and political news from US, Europe and Asian regions.
A deal with CNN/Fox can provide access to popular chat shows. The content is expected to be showcased from April onwards and will be spread over 16 months.
Reliance BIG TV is planning to invest nearly Rs350 crore over the next four years for acquisition across film and non-film based content.
As part of its overall content strategy, Reliance BIG TV plans to introduce 10 different varieties of non-film content, including sports, music, current affairs/documentaries, adventure, comedy, chat shows, cooking, religion and technology-based content on its PPV platform, sources said.
The company earlier introduced music-based content like Michael Jackson's tour. PPV viewership for its non-film content recorded 150% growth over its current average for film-based PPV content, even though they were priced at a premium of 50% compared to regular showcases.
The market size of the Indian DTH sector is expected to grow to about $1.28 billion by 2012 from the current $350 million, driven by PPV revenues.
By 2012, PPV revenues are expected to contribute nearly 15% of overall DTH revenues from 4% at present.
A section of the fund industry is still attempting to delay the SEBI directive on trail commission. Others are readying to comply
The larger mutual funds that effectively control the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) and have been instrumental in endlessly postponing the decision on trail commission, are making a last-ditch effort to preserve the status quo, presumably because large commercial interests are involved.
"For some reason unknown to us, AMFI has blocked all efforts to implement a clear-cut decision to discontinue paying trail commision to old distributors, after an investor has walked out. It is still not willing to give up this position easily because it is acting as a front for some large mutual funds," a chief executive officer (CEO) of an asset management company (AMC) alleged.
Mutual funds ought to be gearing up to implement the decision to pay trail commission to the new distributor following the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) firm missive to AMFI on 30th December. But amazingly, some funds want to ensure that the decision is postponed again. This includes ensuring inspired articles in the media that raises the bizarre notion that distributors may use the cash from trail commisision to wean away investors!
Reacting to this, another CEO of an AMC told Moneylife, "Some funds themselves seem to be showing the way to illegal practices. In any case, all decisions will have some loopholes. What about the principle that the old distributor cannot continue to receive trail commission once he has lost an investor?"
It may be recalled that the decision that trail commission should go to the new distributor was taken by AMFI way back in September 2007. But this never got implemented because of the vested interests that contol AMFI. As a result, AMFI dragged its feet for over two years and has tried very hard not to implement the decision. "I wonder who are the beneficiaries of the status quo," asks a CEO of another AMC.
As first reported by Moneylife, on 30th December, market watchdog SEBI came down heavily on AMFI asking it to implement a clear-cut decision taken more than two years ago. SEBI sent a stern email to AMFI ordering it to implement its own circular of 5 September 2007.
Interestingly, SEBI was forced to slam AMFI into following this course since the association had come up with another cunning manoeuvre to postpone the decision of implementing the trail commission. On 22nd December, AMFI had circulated a fresh vote by email to the chiefs of AMCs on the trail commission issue, first reported by Moneylife (see here).
In fact, as we had pointed out, the idea of a fresh vote by email was circulated barely three hours after SEBI had already asked AMFI to implement the September 2007 circular. This was a sneaky but audacious move to bypass the SEBI directive. Clearly, for an association to do this, in definace of the regulator's directive, is outrageous.
The 5 September 2007 AMFI circular had categorically said: "On receipt of letter from the investor advising AMCs about his desire to change his distributor, AMCs will act on the instruction. Once the distributor (ARN code) has been changed, the trail commission thereafter for all business done by the old distributor (under old ARN code) may be payable to new distributor (under new ARN code) on a prospective basis subject to terms and conditions, if any, entered into by AMCs with such distributor."
However, instead of implenting the directive, after waiting for two years, AMFI decided to vote on it again by a show of hands. Despite a majority of 17 funds voting against AMFI, the decision was not implemented.
In fact, a few months back, AMFI formed a committee with representatives from ICICI Prudential and Birla Sun Life to decide on the trail commission issue. The committee argued that that the original trail commission should be there for life even if the client has shifted. When SEBI pushed AMFI to implement the decision, it went in for a fresh vote by email within three hours of the SEBI directive.
Moneylife asked a bunch of questions to the board members of AMFI and and AP Kurian, chairman of AMFI, as to why did the entity go for a vote by show of hands a few months ago on the issue instead of implementing it. We also asked, when a majority of 17 funds voted in a clear-cut manner, why was the decision not implemented and why was another vote by email sought to be carried out on 22nd December? Neither AMFI nor the members who control it had any answers for us, leading to suspicions that there are serious entrenched interests in the fund industry. Since AMFI has deliberately dragged its feet for over two years and has tried to avoid implementing an old decision, there are suspicions of clear beneficiaries of the status quo. AMFI has also not so far explained its motivation in attempting to bypass SEBI's clear directive of 22nd December, within hours of getting that directive.

So far, we have seen definite 'bleedthroughs' from the OT into the FST for Charlie, Daniel, Libby and Hurley. It has been indicated that Eloise Widmore knows far more than she has said. We have also seen that Desmond has had some sort of epiphany which has allowed him to experience the OT. It is not clear exactly what OT Desmond understands of the FST, but he is definitely acting 'out of character'. We should also note that the characters named above experienced scenes from the OT lives which occurred prior to December 2004. Not one of their flashes was after that date. However, Desmond's flashes went all the way up to 2006 and possibly 2007. This fact establishes that the FST and OT are NOT 'alternate and parallel realities' existing in a concurrent timeframe. In some sense, for the characters of the FST, if they are 'remembering the OT', then, as far as they are concerned the events of the OT must already have occurred OR they are seeng the future.
Three possibilities for the FST/OT
- The OT was a precursor for the FST, which has somehow superseded the OT as the single reality, and the 'memories' have carried over into this new reality, much like 'regression into former lives' under hypnosis.
- If this is true, then it must be the case that before the end of Season 6, the OT ceases to be, and all of the people in the OT effectively die, but they retain vestigial memories.
- The FST and OT are co-existing and interlinked, but there is no common timeframe. What appear to be 'memories' of the OT are in fact 'flashes of one possible future', much like Desmond had of Charlie's death in Flashes Before Your Eyes.
- If this is true, then this would appear to run counter to the diagram in Daniel's Journal which presupposed that moving from one 'imaginary space' to the other occurred if and only if the time variable is held constant. The only way that this could be made to work is if there is a three-year time-differential between the island and Mainland (i.e. Mainland 2004 = Island 2007).
- Both the FST and the OT are fictions, and neither is the 'true' reality. The events which we are witnessing have already occurred, but for some reason have not been 'observed' (or possibly have been forgotten) by the Losties, who are now experiencing them as if for the first time. They (or the person who is contructing their 'reality' for them) are construing the events in different ways, which then appear as two different versions of the same thing.
- If this is true, then the whole Lost Saga reduces to a Simulism or 'Matrix'-type scenario of some sort: dreamscape, computer simulation, computer game, mass hallucination, reality gameshow, fantasy, mindwarp etc.
Analysis of the possibilities
1. OT as a precursor to FST
I do agree that (1) is still currently a possibility. However, even though the writers have spent a long time building up the FST, possibly in the hope that the viewers invest in the characters, as a reality it can only ever be a 'holding position' for the Losties. There are far too many unanswered questions about the FST, and too many anomalies. For example if it 'succeeds' the OT, at what point would it start, and why? The FST has always felt to me like an 'Oomphalos' universe, that it was invented, intact about 5 seconds before the start of LA X, Part 1, and its entire premise (that the same set of people could be on the same plane in the FST & OT) always felt like a deliberate contrivance meant to signal to us that the entire FST experience was somehow not real or a false reality. There is also the issue of 'no time travelling in Season 6'. The FST is clearly "unsatisfactory" as a solutyion, and characters are trying to exit it. However, to exit the FST and revert back to some earlier state, would require some sort of time travelling solution. The producers have said that this season is about the consequences of time travel, not time travel itself. This can only mean that the FST/OT duality is a result of the time travelling exploits, and needs to be resolved either by merging the FST/OT, or one superseding the other. Given the direction of the flow of memories, it currently looks like the FST has already superseded the OT. If this is true, without time travelling it is really difficult to see where we go from here.
2. OT and FST are co-existing
I would love to think that Daniel's diagram which was reproduced in Happily Ever After, must be relevant, and the FST and OT are genuine 'slideways' universes which are interlinked (or "entangled"). The three year time gap in 'memories of the future' is however difficult to address. If the current time on the mainland is 2004, and on the island is 2007, then island time must be 3 years in the future. This does not really fit with the facts: A316 left in 2007, and landed on the island in 2007; also the O6 left the island in early 2005, they arrived back on the mainland at an equivalent time of 2005. However, there are several events which have involved the electromagnetic properties of the island, and which might account for timeshifts which could have cause island time/Mainland time to move with respect to one another:
- The Hatch implosion (December 2004); Ben moving the island via the FDW (2005); Locke moving the island via the FDW (in the 1860s? 2004?); The time jumps in between Ben & Locke turning the wheel (various: 1953-2007); Jughead detonation (July 1977); Another Swan Incident (around 1978/9); the button-pressing from 1980-2004 (that is one hell of a long time...)
If there is a rational, scientific explanation for the FST & OT, I feel it must centre around these issues. However, there does not appear to be any simple way to make the time differentials work within the story (or at least no way which could be presented in a brief explanation for viewers, ... and believe me I have tried). The facts can be made to be consistent up to a point: for example, when the O6 left the island, they left in 2005, and arrived in 2005; so did Ben who turned the wheel. However when Locke turned the wheel, he left in 2005, but arrived in 2007. Turning the wheel must have undone what Ben did and realigned the times. No EM event has happened on the island after Locke's wheel turning to change the realignment therefore when A316 leaving in 2007, and arriving in 2007 confirms this. However, this is now inconsistent with memories from OT 2007 'bleeding through' into FS 2004.
One other alternative would be the following:
The FDW and other events not only realigns times, it also realigns the island and the mainland realities; i.e.
- Alignment 1: OT mainland is aligned with OT Island; FST mainland aligned with FST Island (submerged)
- Alignment 2: OT mainland is aligned with FST island (submerged); FST Mainland aligned with OT Island
(The problem with this approach is that there could well be many different settings.)
This theory might conceivably explain why the island cannot be found, why it appeared to sink underwater when Ben moved the wheel, and why time alignments may be different at different times. However, when Ben turned the wheel, he arrived in Tunisia; when Locke turned the wheel he also arrived in Tunisia, in the same reality. However if realities had been realigned, they should each have have ended up in a different mainland reality. When you begin to work out the details of it, it is very difficult to see how this can work.
3. The OT and/or FST are simulations
Many people have ruled this out, simply because they do not want to countenance a solution which is a dream, simulation or any such variant. As we get deeper into season 6, this seems to be an increasingly likely prospect, and for me it is the only one which can really fit all the facts. A lot of the features are there; the excessive emphasis on rules (programming constraints), the mysterious place with echoes of antiquity, but whuch are anomalous and anachronistic, the idea of a reset or restart to the FST, the random elements, such as the recurrence of the numbers throughout, the connections between characters, the 'problems to be solved' such as the hatch, the button-pressing, getting off the island, getting on the island etc., getting jughead into place, the events occurring in the FST/OT but slightly differently, people being treated as npcs, redshirts, being killed off in a peremptory manner as if their deaths were meaningless. All these feel like reruns of the same computer game, but under slighly different conditions. A simulation scenario of some sort would easily allow a merging of science/fantasy/supernatural elements within the whole, and the consciousnesses of Jacob/MiB and the losties could all be trapped within such a simulated reality.
My conclusion
Therefore I am sadly coming round to the conclusion that although we have been fed scientific explanations so far, and the show has been almost entirely rationally based for most of its run, no coherent scientific explanation other than 'it's all an illusion' (even if all of reality itself turns out to be illusory) can fit the facts as they have been presented. There are too many loose ends for it to work, and too many contradictions for a single science-based theory to fit. Out of the three explanations offered above, I am afraid the only one which makes any sense is the 'reality is not real' explanation, and, if I am right, I expect louder howls of protest from other fans than the protests which I have been making of late.

Carly Fiorina Takes Down Donald Trump, Wins Second Presidential Debate
News| |
In a Rolling Stone interview released last week, Trump, seeing Fiorina on the television, told the interviewer, "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next President?" Trump would try to walk back the remarks the next day saying he wasn't talking about her face, but her "persona." Tapper's question hung in the air a moment as the split-screen eyed both Trump, who gazed over at Fiorina, and the former CEO simply answered, "Mr. Trump said that he heard Mr. Bush very clearly and what Mr. Bush said," recalling an earlier exchange in the evening when Trump made it very clear he had heard something the former Florida Governor said. Fiorina continued, "I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said." The crowd erupted with applause. Trump, for once, had very little to say, but he made an attempt. Cutting into the applause, Trump added, "I think she has a very beautiful face." The comment fell flat and only dug Trump into a bigger whole. From that moment on, it was Fiorina's debate and may mark the moment where everyone will look back and say, "This is where she won the candidacy."

On Tuesday, Aug. 16, representatives from Beechen & Dill Homes, the Orland Park Area Chamber of Commerce, the Village of Orland Park and the Homer Area Chamber of Commerce will gather for a ribbon-cutting ceremony commemorating the official opening of the Silverton model home located at 13889 Creek Crossing Dr. in Orland Park's Greystone Ridge community. Festivities will begin at 4:30 p.m. with light refreshments and a ceremonial ribbon slated for 5:00 p.m.
"The Beechen & Dill Homes team is excited to be celebrating the opening of our Silverton model home at Greystone Ridge with so many community stakeholders and neighbors equally committed to Orland Park's continued growth," Beechen & Dill Homes president Matt Dill said. "Beechen & Dill has a longstanding relationship with Orland Park that dates back nearly four decades and we're thrilled to be taking another step in that partnership with Greystone Ridge."
The Silverton model spotlights the dynamic design and cutting-edge construction practices that have made Beechen & Dill one of Illinois' top homebuilders.
A four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home covering 3,600 square feet, the Silverton features an open-concept layout with nine-foot first floor ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with an island and breakfast nook, a flex room, large mudroom and three-car garage. The home is also outfitted with many of today's most in-demand touches: rich hardwood flooring, granite countertops, smart technology and a grand master suite that features split vanities, dual walk-in closets and a separate shower and soaker tub.
"The Silverton is our newest home plan and one that highlights our focus on ambitious, eye-catching design," Beechen & Dill Homes director of sales Bob Williams said, adding that the firm's custom homebuilding background provides buyers a plethora of options ranging from custom woodwork and outdoor living spaces to a butler's pantry and chef's office. "Whatever a homebuyer wants, we have the talent and experience to make it happen."
As the state's first and only homebuilder holding Diamond certification from the rigorous Environments for Living (EFL) sustainable construction program, Beechen & Dill's Silverton model also meets heightened energy standards and passes strict third-party tests. With EFL designation, Beechen & Dill-built homes are guaranteed to be more energy efficient, durable, comfortable and safer.
"In 2008, we made a strong commitment to building the most environmentally conscious homes in Illinois when we earned our Environments for Living certification and that commitment remains just as strong today," said Dill, a past recipient of the Home Builders Association of Illinois' "Builder of the Year" award.
Last month, in fact, the Silverton model was featured in Chicagoland's GreenBuilt Home Tour, an annual exploration of Chicago area homes constructed with attractive, affordable and sustainable building practices.
"That's a sign of our standing and credibility in the marketplace," Dill said.
Located on 139th Street just west of Wolf Road, the Greystone Ridge community hosts 39 homesites. Opportunistic buyers have already purchased nearly one-quarter of the community's available lots since community sales opened earlier this year.
"Interest in Greystone Ridge has been consistently high because prospective buyers recognize the value of a Beechen & Dill-built home in Orland Park," Greystone Ridge community consultant Laura Ritchie said.
Greystone Ridge buyers can select a ranch or two-story home from seven distinct plans ranging in size from 2,200-4,100 square feet. Prices start in the upper $400,000s.
For additional information on Beechen & Dill Homes or Greystone Ridge community, please visit www.beechendill.com or call (708) 770-9099.

"I don't know what to say other than it was cold and windy, and I was glad to hear that horn blow so I could run in here," Richt said.
Stafford had touchdown passes to wide receiver Mikey Henderson on a 40-plus yard throw and tight end Coleman Watson in a red zone drill. Cox also threw two scores, one to wide receiver Mario Raley and one to tight end Tripp Chandler. Tereshinski had a touchdown pass to Raley as well.
The day was mostly ruled by defense, though, Richt said. Redshirt freshman safety Donavon Baldwin had two interceptions and linebacker Tommy Watkins of Statesboro had one.
Junior defensive end Marcus Howard sat out due to a hyperextended elbow. He hopes to compete in today's scrimmage but could be out a week. Running back Kregg Lumpkin also was in a green, no-contact jersey but is expected to play today.
BETTER FEELING: Mammoth defensive tackle Kade Weston was frustrated last year as he sat out a redshirt season, but he now believes it was for the best.
"Looking back, I think that was the best thing for me," he said. "I still have a lot to do, like catching on to my fundamentals so it becomes like second nature."

Marycrest International University survived probation once. It will not survive it again.
The small, private institution with a six-decade history on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in Davenport will close June 30, president Pat DeLuca announced Monday in the school's gymnasium.
"Everyone has worked so hard since I got here," said DeLuca, who arrived just seven months ago. "They have done everything I have asked, and they are so easy to lead. We have all been working on these strategic plans and action plans, and now we just have to stop and focus on closing it. Things don't always work out. I believe a little in fate, and I'm glad it's me who is here
to close Marycrest with the dignity it deserves."
The school's board of trustees, comprised of six people from Japan, three from Denver and one from Davenport, voted unanimously to close the school in a video conference late last week.
DeLuca sat next to the lone Davenport representative, Sister Joann Kuebrich, as she cast her vote to close the school that her order of nuns began in 1939.
The members of the board in the U.S. and Japan could not be reached for comment by the Quad-City Times on Monday. A representative at the president's office in Tokyo would accept only written questions.
The closing, DeLuca said, was based on the school's enrollment and revenue projections for the next couple of years. DeLuca would not divulge specifics, but the number of students interested in coming to Marycrest decreased after the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, the group in charge of accrediting colleges in the Midwest, placed the school on probation.
The association said it was concerned with the structure of the school's board and the differences of visions among board members. Association officials who visited the campus months before DeLuca was named president, also were troubled by the school's planning and financial situation.
In 1994, the North Central Association also noted concerns about the board's structure and leadership when it placed the school on probation then.
Marycrest, owned by Teikyo University in Japan, is one of a handful of private colleges to close in the past 30 years in Iowa and one of 15 to close since 1995 nationally, according to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. Its sister school, Westmar University in LeMars, Iowa, closed in 1997, two years after it was sold by Teikyo.
Teikyo began as a school of commerce in Japan in 1931, just eight years before Marycrest opened.
Shoichi Okinaga has served as Teikyo's president since 1966. The system operates approximately 20 schools.
Teikyo purchased Marycrest from the Sisters of Humility in 1990. Okinaga was named an honorary citizen of Iowa in 1994.
Enrollment dropped from a high of 2,239 after Teikyo purchased the school, which was known for awhile as Teikyo Marycrest University. The number of full-time equivalent students had increased in the past two years, mostly because of increased recruitment efforts and a $5,000 grant offered to local students.
A total of 666 students, part- and full-time, will have to find new colleges to attend. About 130 faculty and staff will be looking for new jobs.
Word spread slowly through the Marycrest community Monday. DeLuca told faculty and staff Monday morning. Many students, especially those who live in other states or foreign countries, may not know yet. Students left for holiday break Friday. Classes resume Jan. 14.
DeLuca will hold a meeting at 6 p.m. today for students and parents. A second meeting is planned for the first day of classes.
Classes will go as planned the next semester. Those studying abroad to Holland will go as scheduled in January. All courses will be offered. Every activity will continue.
"One of the biggest disappointments is that I couldn't tell each and every one of the students personally that it was closing," said DeLuca, who retired this spring from the North Scott School District in Eldridge, Iowa. He was superintendent there for 14 years.
"This is more than a college with buildings. It's a family, and it's like losing a very essential part of your life," he said.
The final commencement will be May 11.
Marycrest College opened in 1939 as a higher education institution for Catholic women. The school was founded by the sisters from the Congregation of the Humility of Mary.
"Although the college was sold by Sisters of Humility 10 years ago, we are still understandably saddened by the announcement of the losing of Marycrest," said Sister Jude Fitzgerald, president of the congregation. "My hope is that we can celebrate in a spirit of gratitude the rich 62-plus-year history of Marycrest."
John Hartung, director of the Iowa Association of Independent Colleges and Universities called the closing a tragedy.
"Alumni look to this institution as the spot where they received their intellectual, social and cultural roots. This is their college and it's not going to be there anymore," he said. "Students who selected Marycrest now have to be uprooted and find another place to go. Faculty, administrators and staff have given of themselves to this institution for years. An institution is the people. That's the tragedy."

Sky Scraper 4"
In mid-2015, MAC Performance Rocketry started business with a line of canvas phenolic rocket kits and components. I was excited by this because phenolic is one of my favorite airframe materials, and canvas phenolic has the promise of being better than the more common paper phenolic.
The Pictures
Here's the back yard "just completed" picture. The dog's not very interested.
The Kit
I will go into more detail with the kit description since
MAC Performance Rocketry
is a new manufacturer.
The kit came nicely packaged into two sealed plastic bags and inside a single sturdy mailing box.
The centering rings were a perfect fit on the MMT and inside the body tube and the forward CR was slotted for a pre-sewn Nylon bridle strap.
Note how the Nylon strap has loops sewn on either end and around a metal pin that fits into a slot in the forward CR. A very clever design, although I would prefer an aramid strap since this part can't be replaced.
Of course, what I was most excited about was the canvas phenolic tubing.
Above you can see the airframe and coupler tubes; the darker tube is the coupler and is slightly thicker. (The body tubes are between 0.058 and 0.067" thick and the coupler between 0.070 and 0.085".) The tubes have a very uniform surface, that appears to have been sanded. See my body tubes article for comparison with other materials.
The fins were machined from canvas phenolic plate and are 0.188" thick.
Above you can see a side view of the fin and the beveled leading edge in the inset. The smoothness of the bevel and the edge cuts is very similar to the machined edges on fiberglass kits.
The one thing that wasn't perfect was the fit of the nose into the airframe. It's quite sloppy and seems out of place on this otherwise precise kit.
And last but not least, the kit came with printed instructions!
My Modifications
Of course I can never build things entirely stock, so I made some of my own touches. Firstly, I ordered the kit with an Aero-Pack tail cone to give a nice finish to the aft end. (Since I placed the order along with the kit, they replaced the aft CR with one that worked with the retainer.)
The Aero-Pack tail cone retainer extends the motor mount quite far behind the aft end of the airframe, so it's important to double-check stability when using it.
When mounting the fins, I always like to use a guide to make sure they're perfectly aligned. MAC Performance sells these guides, although the picture above is one I made.
I also wanted to cut my own avionics bay plate out, so I ordered a 1/16" piece of phenolic as well. My plate is the same size as the original kit one (and mounted the same way), but with precision holes and slots for a Missile Works RRC3 and LiPo battery.
Above you can see the bay mounted as per the kit instructions with a front view on the left and a back view on the right. (The switch is on a daughter board so that it's closer to the hole in the switch band.)
Of course, the large nose cone space couldn't go to waste so I mounted a Real Flight GPS tracker. Above you can see the nose cone bay plate with a front view on the left and a back view on the right.

Althea: United States
I had a vision of a dove flying towards me;
Then I had a second vision.
I was standing at the end of a road. I saw a highway sign in front of me. The top of the sign was a beautiful royal blue.The middle of the sign was yellow and the bottom of the dign was red. The grass on the side of the highway was a beautiful green along with the trees. These were the most brightest beautiful colors I had ever seen. I couldn't take my eyes off the besutiful colors and thrn I came out of my vision. I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart 2 years ago.
Interpretation by Toni
Althea: "I had a vision of a dove flying towards me,.."
Toni: A quick reference study of historical uses of doves reveal the below info...
("The dove was the harbinger of peace to Noah (Genesis 8:8, 10). It is often mentioned as the emblem of purity (Psalm 68:13). It is a symbol of the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2; Matthew 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; John 1:32); also of tender and devoted affection (Cant. 1:15; 2:14).
David in his distress wished that he had the wings of a dove, that he might fly away and be at rest"...Psalm 55:6-8 www.biblehub.com
The context of this dream symbolizes a peace that only comes from the Holy Spirit to bring you into a place of oneness & peaceful intimacy with our Heavenly Father:-)
Althea: "then I had a second vision. I was standing at the end of a road. I saw a highway sign in front of me."
Toni: The second vision symbolizes a path before you that is indicative after your first encounter of needing to make a directional decision...
"The top of the sign was a beautiful royal blue.The middle of the sign was yellow and the bottom of the sign was red."
The directions of the three colors on the sign signify an awareness spectrum such as in a threat safety awareness spectrum. Meaning that the specific details such as the "royal blue color on the top" of the sign being "Gods directional divine safe will" for you being His path for you.
However, he grants us permissive will in life which does not always provide us with His best for us so the second "yellow" color option in the middle of the awareness sign is more of a warning path meaning it may be "a way" but not "His best or safest way" for you, and of course the "red color" at the bottom of the sign is definitely a directional run & a no no:-)
Althea: " The grass on the side of the highway was a beautiful green along with the trees. These were the most brightest beautiful colors I had ever seen. I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful colors and then I came out of my vision."
Toni: This scripture of Psalms 23 comes to my heart as I read your description of Gods beautiful green grass and basically His lovely nature because God promises in life He will never leave nor forsake you.
Scripture Reference:
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in (green pastures). He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. (He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.)
Even though I walk through the valley of the (shadow of death), I will fear no evil, for you are with me your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23:1-6 ESV)
Althea: " I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart 2 years ago."
Toni: Wow that's awesome!!! So happy for you:-) So God was and is continually leading & guiding you in everything on our path that you do:-) yield to His way and enjoy the journey along the way:-)

It was headlined as a 'Battle of Titans', the potential representatives to the NBA Finals. The Detroit Pistons would clash against the Phoenix Suns. Each had made their moves prior to the trade deadline, perhaps finding the final piece to the puzzle. This Sunday afternoon showdown would shed a little light on how close they really were.
There were blockbuster moves at the deadline but the Phoenix Suns and the Detroit Pistons would make three-player and two-player deals with the Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors, respectively.
Many would question the acquisition of an aging Shaquille O'Neal but Phoenix brass would echo sentiments regarding his potential to take them to an NBA title. O'Neal had won championships with two of the three teams he had previously played on. Four titles in all and Phoenix was hoping for at least one more.
Joe Dumars, general manager of the Pistons would acquire Juan Dixon, a five-year veteran with mixed reviews but a resume of great potential. After all he has an NCAA Championship ring with the University of Maryland.
Surprisingly the game wasn't close. It would be a one-sided affair from the beginning.
Both teams were playing their fourth game in the last ten days following a day off. It was the third game O'Neal would play with his new teammates. It was sure to reveal signs of the Suns transition. Maybe a glimpse of how they were going to be down the road. But there was nothing. The team had no pulse.
The Pistons would take the lead on crisp play by their starting five. Whether it was Rasheed Wallace posting up, Richard Hamilton pulling up for jumpers or Chauncey Billups distributing the ball to his teammates, everything was working. The Pistons' defense was stifling and the team rolled.
The Pistons would steadily increase their lead allowing the bench players extended time on the floor. This was becoming a habit for the Pistons. Their bench was growing and learning how to contribute.
With regards to the outcome, it was sealed when the Pistons took a 59-41 lead into halftime. The second half would lead to much of the same play resulting in a 116-86 win.
What was the reason for this result? Both teams had equal records. Some would say that since the Western Conference is the stronger of the two conferences that in many cases they were the elite teams when compared to the Eastern conference. The Suns had changed personnel but they were still an accomplished team. Something was obviously off.
The Pistons were playing championship basketball. Six players scored double-digit points. They have all the pieces to succeed. They play as a unit and their bench players are getting better every game. They have developed a balanced attack.
The Suns were starting over. They were a high flying team before Shaq. They scored at will and won a lot of games that way. Now they are trying to be a hybrid offense. Part half-court and part high paced offense. Steve Nash is good, a league MVP, but is he good enough to make the changes necessary to win. Amare Stoudemire is now free to play his true position at power forward. He had a good game, scoring 31 points. The other players seemed lost most of the time. Unsure of themselves, they scrambled to make plays when they could.
As for the new arrivals, Shaquille O'Neal scored 7 points in 33 minutes and Juan Dixon was scoreless in 2 minutes of playing time.
Two teams with bright futures are seemingly headed in opposite directions. The Pistons are second in the Eastern Conference and the Suns are fifth in the West and falling fast. Only time will tell if they have the right stuff to meet again in the NBA Finals.
