cknobman - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - link$900 LMAO kiss my @ss WD! Reply
Luscious - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkI tend to agree. You could get a 2-drive NAS for half the price and double the storage that offers more features and better functionality. I can't really think of too many scenarios where 200MB/s transfer speeds to an external drive matter enough to make this product attractive at the price it's going for. Reply
nathanddrews - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkIs the target market a video editing scratch disk for thunderbolt-equipped laptop owners with small HDDs or SSDs? I can't think of another scenario where I would store data externally in a RAID-0... Reply
SodaAnt - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkI don't think you need a 2TB scratch disk. Reply
DukeN - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - link$900 is quite a bit of money for external storage, especially when you can buy a TeraByte of internal SSD for less.
Nathandrews, why would a laptop owner be bogged down by adding a peripheral by this? Would they not be better off just having a desktop?
The only people buying this will be ones with disposable $$ not knowing any better (Bestbuy says Hai). Reply
eric appla - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkI had people comming into recording sessions who were probably the right custommers for this
These were US based film industry companies and they had their macbooks PRO and external storage for all the source material. (at the time Firewire800)
We were re-recording with orchestra what they had precompiled using samplers (Video + about 20 - 40 independent tracks) to headphones of individual players to hear their parts
Throughput wasn't problem as video was cca 5 MB/sec and 40 channels of 44.1/16 were only 3.5MB/s but as the SW had to access all the different files at the start to sync i was not working and we had to copy everything over to internal HDD
At the time they'd pay loads to have better IO random speeds on their external storage because the delays caused by us waiting for their external drives to copy material over was wasting their dearly paid studio time. But tbh any thunderbolt storage will do the trick at the time Reply
bobsmith1492 - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkSounds like a pretty small market. :-) Reply
demani - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkYes, but it is a lucrative one. Since many of the material costs get passed on to the clients or are used directly for making money (i.e. not just storing photos at home) it can be easier to justify the cost of something like this. Reply
Solandri - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkCouldn't you duplicate the performance of this 10,000 RPM 2x1TB RAID 0 device with a 5400 RPM 4x500 GB RAID 0 device for considerably less?
I mean you're already going with RAID 0 so obviously reliability isn't that big a concern. And if physical size or random access speeds were a concern you'd go for a bunch of SSDs. The only use I can see for this device is if the most important factors for you are sustained read/writes >300 MB/s and 2 TB of capacity. Reply
Alexvrb - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkFor sequential speeds, sure. Slower spindle speeds can't touch the 10k drives on access time, random speeds. Only thing better is an SSD, but if you need capacity AND speed, the VR drives aren't bad. Also having 4 drives would make the box go from big to HUGE, and assuming you're using reliable 5400RPM drives that are as tough as the VRs, you're still looking at twice the potential for a failure.
Of course they're charging a steep premium for the enclosure/package. I'd like to see a competitor buy Velociraptors in bulk and then turn around and undercut them by a hundred bucks (for the whole enclosure, I mean). I mean even street price you can get a 1TB VR for $260. Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkSo it sound like they needed SSDs in there? I'm pretty sure a normal 512GB SDD connected via USB3 would have done the trick. If only TB is available, use that then. But the VelociRaptors only make sense when you are doing large sequential reads/writes. Unless I misunderstood you. :) Reply
mavere - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkAre you really having a tough time imagining scenarios for portable, fast storage? Really? Reply
DukeN - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkI'm having a tough time imagining scenarios for OVERPRICED portable, fast storage.
In the era of $400 512GB SSDs, $900 for thermally enclosed SATA HDs that are known to have low MTBFs is asking for trouble.
Only a matter of time til someone puts an SSD version of this out that is half the size, and half the power consumption with double the performance. For this target market, they'll happily pay double the price too. Reply
demani - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkBecause taking a tower on a plane is really a pain. this and a laptop would fit in your carry-on along with a change of clothes and a toilet kit. Reply
ExarKun333 - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkThe cost here is insane... Reply
Golgatha - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkCompletely insane. Reply
jaydee - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkI read the review until I got to the cost, then I stopped reading, there's no point to this device at $900. Reply
demani - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkMaybe no cost at home, but there is certainly a benefit to certain people and use cases. It's not for you, fine. But you aren't everyone. Reply
twotwotwo - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkSeems like it's optimal for fewer people and use cases than it used to be, because of pressure from SSDs from the high end and cheaper externals on the low end, now that the cheap ones have faster connectivity than before and there are lots of less-expensive RAID options.
From Anand's charts, the My Book Thunderbolt--same setup, slower drives--can still move a quarter gig each second, and you get 4x the storage per buck. So, if I were a video editor, I'd get a cheap (well, "cheap") external and load up on Flash--try to get enough SSD space to hold whatever projects I'm actively working on, with HDDs as the enormous (and tolerably fast) archive.
Not that _no_ one can use this--just that even the folks who need high-end setups might want a different kind of high-end setup these days. Reply
andrewaggb - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkI think anandtech may need to look at highlighting articles in a different color or something to indicate the target market.
This is clearly a professional class device, and not a consumer device. They've done some enterprise/server reviews as well that people are offended by the huge price tags. I find them interesting, even if I don't always have a personal or professional use for it, but clearly from the comments many people are bothered that they click on a review for a product that wouldn't interest them. Reply
psyq321 - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkAnd since when is something with WD VelociRaptor considered a "professional device" ? Last time I've checked, those HDD-s were just overpriced toys for overclockers and such.
Putting those toys in a portable and thermally limited enclosure is just asking for trouble - they will fail, and then some. For professional content editing this might not be a problem as the storage is just temporary - but then, why bother with the moving parts when $3.2K is buying you 2 TB of completely silent, shockproof SSDs, which are smaller, lighter and quite a good deal faster in RAID0 than anything those 'raptors can do. Reply
Holler - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkCan someone please remind WD this isn't the 1990's anymore? Reply
Makaveli - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linklol 90s were great much better music! Reply
Roland00Address - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkThat said ever since the Intel x25m came out in 2008 there have been little use for the raptors. Reply
kpb321 - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkIf you compare the pricing of this model it really isn't any worse than that of the regular MyBook Duo. A pair of 1tb velociraptors on newegg is ~500$ and a pair of 3gb green drives is ~300$. The My Book VelociRaptor Duo is 200$ more expensive than MyBook Duo which matches up to the price difference in the drives. Yeah the price per gigabyte is much higher but your paying for the speed. For this to be worth it you have to need more speed than typical green or 7200rmp drives can manage and more space than can be reasonably obtained in a SSD. Not necessarily a large market but not completely non-existent. Reply
madmilk - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkThe point is, Velociraptors are overpriced these days. The primary benefit of 10K rpm hard drives is for lower seek times, NOT for sequential access, since 7200rpm drives are generally denser and thus make up for slower platters. But with SSDs costing less than 100% more, while having 100x the random IO speed, there is little reason to dump money into these hot and loud disks, unless you write so much that you'll wear out MLC. Reply
pandemonium - Thursday, August 30, 2012 - linkAs much as I love how reliable my WDs have been and the performance from my VRs in past and present, the market for them is just dead. This just seems like WD is trying to sell their unsold, stationary stock of VRs in another format...and for a premium at that.
Oh well, there's always suckers out there to spend money on anything that appears to be a niche item. Reply
Gonemad - Friday, August 31, 2012 - link... would go on more 500GB units in the same RAID-0 setup achieving more performance, and keeping everything else equal. 4x 500GB...
Of course, someone would have to do the math to narrow it down.
On the other hand, wouldn't a couple of SSDs deliver more performance, in a smaller package, for waaaay more money? People that want performance, and size, usually is willing to pay the price. Reply
random2 - Sunday, September 02, 2012 - linkWhat I find frustrating about all this, is the fact that we had some very good high speed solutions for years, (USB 3 and e-SATA) and few if any of the manufacturers got on the band wagon to address the problem of slow external storage! They stuck to their guns, supplying storage with USB-2, connectivity and leaving faster solutions available only to those who would shell out the additional money for mult-drive storage or NAS units. Even these were often supplied with only ethernet RJ45 connection.
Now Thunderbird has come along and gotten a fair amount of press, like all of a sudden they have just discovered hi transfer rates are possible with external drives! Reply

Missing my Moleskine
Hi Victoria!
I too carry (or carried) a little Moleskine. Sadly, last week at my son's talent show, I left it in the gymnasium. No one has returned it to me, in spite of my name being in it and yeah, a billion $ reward. I'm a bit shell shocked. It contained about a year's worth of notes on my novel...of course they were all perfect and poignant and the EXACT thing I needed to write the next blockbuster.
So, note to self: Transcribe my Moleskine notes into a word file periodically so that the only thing I have to worry about is computer crashes and Dropbox dying.

Moleskine Obsession
Love the reminder, Victoria. Thanks. Glad to know that I'm not the only one. ;) I too love the Moleskine possibilies. In fact, I just found a lovely Moleskine cover. I have one for my Kindle. http://www.oberondesign.com/moleskine.php
It's pricey, but worth the money, 'cause it will last a lifetime. Just hope that I continue to get a lot of wear out of it.

SmartPen Moleskine
I have the Moleskine scribble habit from way back, too. I love my new SmartPen. I still write in a Moleskine journal (it has special paper for the Smart Pen), but now my handwriting gets translated to text. From there, I can revise or post to my blog. Ain't technology wonderful?!

I too use a Moleskine to write notes while listening to writing podcasts on the bus, spontaneous ideas, premises for film scripts, dialogue, lists of things to do, etc. I enjoy writing in longhand and commit that I will do a minimum of 30 minutes of writing everyday no matter what may try to prevent me. I then type my screenwriting notes or dialogue or other actual screenwriting drafts into Movie Magic Screenwriter or Final Draft. I've have used a Moleskine in this manner since 2006 and always carry it with me, whether going to the day job on the express bus or watching the San Francisco Giants game.

Always keep a Moleskin and comfortable pen in my shirt pocket. Also name, address and phone in book with offer of reward if found (though not a billion dollars). Love the pocket in the back for clips that inspire new poems.
Tried many things and this is the best.

I hate to be the one to burst the ludite bubble, but I converted from Moleskine to smartphone and haven't looked back. There are applications I use to take and save notes, create and edit Word documents, and keep them all safely stored online so I never "lose" any of it.

multiple notebooks
Haven't saved up enough for a smartphone yet. So I have multiple notebooks. One in my regular backpack, one in my easy-on-your-back backpack, and one in my purse. Oh, and one that stays at home. I've already got a big box full of these things, each full of my observations for a year or 3 of my life. So when I'm 84 and have time on my hands, I should have plenty of material.
I'm not a complete Luddite, tho. I'm negotiating a contract on my 2nd book (nonfiction), and I keep a 2nd back-up out there in the ether. Wouldn't want to lose my latest revisions of *Pursued by Conscience: Former Fugitive Katherine Ann Power* in a fire, flood, burglary, hurricane, tornado, tsunami!

My magnificent Moleskines have become an appendage. I have written complete one-act plays in them when I'm away from my computer. They somehow lead to free-form thinking and creativity for me. I'm always amazed at how much they hold in the way of ideas and thoughts...thoughts that would have been lost had I not jotted them down.

Love Moleskine + Covers
Hi Victoria,
Like yourself, I also love Moleskine. I take mine with me everywhere I go and don't know what I would do without it!
Lately, I have gotten very into accessories with the purchase of a brand new leather moleskine cover form Molecover ( http://www.molecover.com ).
I have followed these guys 2 years on Twitter, and finally pulled the trigger and bought one of their Moleskine covers. It's natural bound leather adds quite a bit of class and it protect my Moleskine. I love it, and have no regrets in my purchase!

I love my Moleskine. Before my Moleskine era, I never finished a whole journal. Now, I am working on my third Moleskine journal! I am glad to have come upon this wonder of a journal and I hope to continue buying them for the rest of my life.

Notes on prospects and big leaguers who stood out in the semifinal between the Dominican Republic and Mexico.
We're down to the semifinals of the Caribbean Series, which means only one game per night. Thursday night's game involved the Dominican Republic falling to a not-exactly-prospect-laden Mexican team. For the MLU, that means you're getting an update on every borderline prospect in action, no matter how many times you've heard their names in the past two months.

Jason makes nine bold predictions based off early season happenings
The first month of April is the most frustrating month for any fantasy writers. Sample sizes are incredibly small, making article ideas tough to come up with, but that does not stop people on Twitter from overreacting to opening weekend moves anyway. Between covering the first two games of the Rays and Yankees series and completing an online auction (don't!) in my longtime mixed league this weekend, I must have received at least 50 inquiries on Twitter related to add/drop moves.

The woe of Boston's bullpen, and debating whether it's important for a closer to have ninth-inning experience.
Andrew Bailey couldn't even wait until Opening Day to get hurt. Before the Red Sox' most high-profile off-season acquisition could even take the mound during the regular season, the team discovered that he had torn the ulnar collateral ligament of his thumb, requiring surgery that could sideline him until at least the All-Star break. General manager Ben Cherington and manager Bobby Valentine resisted the call to push converted set-up man Daniel Bard back to the bullpen, instead naming Alfredo Aceves—another reliever who spent the spring vying for a rotation spot—the interim closer.

While fans may be fretting in Boston, nobody should be hasty in evaluating the job GM Ben Cherington has done in shoring up the Sox.
The 2012 Red Sox are a work in progress, Ben Cherington's unfinished symphony. When I set out to write this article, it was from the vantage point of looking back at the weekend's head-scratching swap, which sent shortstop Marco Scutaro to the Rockies for sinkerballer Clayton Mortensen. In isolation, it was a dismal return for a player who's been worth 5.5 WARP over the past two seasons, but by dumping Scutaro's salary, the Sox created room to fill other needs. As if on cue, they agreed to a one-year deal with outfielder Cody Ross on Monday night, consigning this article's brilliant original lede* to the dustbin of history and serving as a reminder that very few ballclubs are expected to win games in the dead of January.

The playoff races have been de-zombified, and Team Entropy was on the prowl, looking for meaningful baseball going into the final game.
Welcome to Team Entropy! Grab a seat on the couch, and here, have a beer. You've been invited to this party because after almost exactly six months and 160 games of regular-season baseball, you've suspended the need to root for a specific team and are working for the greater good, more interested in maximizing the amount of end-of-season chaos the remaining schedule can produce. The amount of season, even, if it comes to a 163rd game—or two.

With big names missing from the active rosters of both the Yankees and the Red Sox, some unlikely hurlers are pitching in.
Six-game losing streaks have a way of cropping up over the span of 162 games. When they happen can dictate the narrative that surrounds them. The Yankees suffered through one that ended last week, which was dismaying but ultimately forgettable. The Red Sox, on the other hand, opened the season with one and have been trying to live it down ever since. Now just a half game out of first, the Sox are playing as everyone expected them to, but their pitching depth is on the verge of taking center stage in their season's narrative.
After starting out 0-6 and 2-10, the Red Sox have turned it on. They beat the AL Central-leading Indians last night to improve to 26-22 on the season, but they're doing it with their bats. The team's offense is tops in the league in on-base percentage, fourth in slugging, and third in OPS. The pitching, though, has been pedestrian. Sox hurlers have struck out a lot of batters, but they have also walked plenty of hitters and been prone to the longball. Their team ERA is 11th in the majors.

This week's spin involves Josh Hamilton and Orlando Cabrera, but also Dorothy Parker, the Ace of Aceves, and the $14 ham sandwich.

The former Yankees' swingman trades his pinstripes in for red stockings.
Nothing gets the competitive fuels flowing like a player moving from a team to its hated rival. Alfredo Aceves may not spark the fire like Johnny Damon or even Ramiro Mendoza by jumping from New York to Boston, but he is worth discussing because the Red Sox envision a role change. The Yankees had Aceves make five starts over three big-league seasons, but mostly used him in long relief. The transition does not appear to be as outlandish as it may sound.

Who are the favorites for the #5 spots in the starting rotations of last year's World Series participants?
At the outset, Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes have the inside track to the #5 spot for the New York Yankees. Neither Chad Gaudin (career 4.61 SIERA) nor Sergio Mitre (4.15) have had sustained success at the Major League level as a starter. Mitre missed the entire 2008 season due to Tommy John surgery and did not inspire confidence upon return in nine starts last year. However, stats like xFIP and SIERA have thought more highly of his performances than regular old ERA.
Chamberlain in 2009 (4.43 SIERA), after spending most of '08 as a reliever (3.02), saw his strikeout rate chopped by nearly three batters per nine innings while his walk rate increased by nearly one, sending his K/BB ratio below 2:1. Additionally, he allowed nine percent fewer ground balls and seven percent more line drives while his HR/FB rate more than doubled. His fastball and slider usage dropped by several percentage points while his curve and change-up use increased accordingly. The velocity on his fastball and slider diminished by 2.5 MPH and 0.5 MPH respectively.

The Yankees still control the World Series, but will their decision to use just three starters prove a critical miscalculation?
The Phillies hit 224 home runs during the regular season, and another 14 through the first two rounds of the playoffs. Through the first four games of the World Series, they added seven more, but they didn't get so much bang for their buck, as all of those homers were solo shots. That changed in the first inning on Monday night, when Chase Utley crushed an A.J. Burnett meatball for a three-run homer, erasing a 1-0 Yankees lead in a potential World Series clincher and sending the Citizens Bank Park fans into a towel-waving frenzy.

Classic jamming and laybacking. The bolts are very widely spaced but it takes trad gear if you want to reduce the runouts, and if this is your limit, you definitely do! The second pitch takes you to the top at 6a.
Great route and well worth the bIg effort it requires.more of a trad route with bolts than the typical thin face sport climb that is found hereabouts. And a few cams will certainly be welcome

Dead Fish Lights Up When Shown Pictures of Humans
An 18-inch-long dead salmon showed activity along the midline of its brain when it was shown photos of humans in social settings, according to a neuroimaging study led by Craig Bennett, a postdoctoral researcher in psychology at the University of California at Santa Barbara. The point of the study was to show that false positives are commonplace in neuroimaging research.
"The salmon was shown a series of photographs depicting human individuals in social situations with a specified emotional valence," the researchers reported. "The salmon was asked to determine what emotion the individual in the photo must have been experiencing."
Also scanned but without result: a pumpkin and a Cornish hen, also dead. –Don Troop

Jim Greer may be chairman of the Florida Republican Party as long as Charlie Crist stands behind him, but his wings are getting clipped.
The state GOP is about to announce the formation of Victory 2010, the Republican finance operation to help elect the next governor and other state candidates. Co-chairmen include former state House Speaker Allan Bense, lobbyist and former state party chairman Al Cardenas, House Majority Leader Adam Hasner and state party finance chairman John Rood.
What sets this committee apart from prior ones, numerous fundraisers have been told, is that it will be structured to restrict Greer's ability to spend party money. Fair or not, he has a reputation for entourages and lavish spending, and many donors are wary about how donations to the state Republican Party might be spent. Under Victory 2010, checks would have to be signed both by Greer and Bense.
"There's definitely some people within the party that want to be assured about party spending," said Broward Republican Party chairman Chip LaMarca, who was unaware of the new arrangement for party spending.
A party spokeswoman declined to say how spending decisions would be authorized.
"The (party) organizes a victory effort every cycle. Florida Victory 2010 is no different. We raised over $4 million last quarter because donors are confident in the chairman's leadership and the Republican message," said spokeswoman Katie Betta.
Sink, the antipolitician
Talking to Democrats in Orlando Saturday night, Alex Sink cast the gubernatorial race as a choice between a fresh start and a career politician:
"This is no ordinary recession. These times call for something more than a career politician as our next governor. Bill McCollum has spent more than 30 years as a professional politician. Twenty years in Washington. Six years as a special-interest lobbyist. This run for governor is his 14th political campaign.
"Now, give Bill McCollum some credit. He's done a very good job of making sure he always has a job. But what about jobs for everybody else? This is no time for politics as usual. Not now. Not with the challenges we face."
Public option politics
Every time Bill Nelson spoke to Florida Democrats at their annual convention in Disney World this weekend, people chanted. "Public option! Public option!" The senator assured activists he did vote for one public option insurance proposal that failed. Meanwhile, gubernatorial candidate Sink steadfastly refuses to take any position on a public option.
Democrats love the 'die quickly' line
The newest superstar Democrat for Florida liberals is U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando, who made national news for suggesting the GOP plan for health care is to "die quickly." Grayson drew roars and attaboys everywhere he went.
"What does it mean to be a Democrat? It's very simple: We have a conscience," Grayson said Saturday. "Everyone in this room with a conscience, get on your feet!" And they did.
Crist's problem is he's so successful?
The problem with being as successful a money-raiser as Crist is that expectations tend to be huge. Some of the spin we're hearing from Marco Rubio folks about Crist raising $2.4 million last quarter: Rubio's numbers are growing and Crist's are shrinking. Many of Crist's supporters have already given the maximum amount allowed, while Rubio is relying largely on small donors who can give again and again. Much of Crist's $6.2 million cash on hand — perhaps more than $2 million — can't be spent until after the primary.

Syracuse UNC Asheville
March 16, 2012 by staff
Syracuse UNC Asheville, Syracuse was missing its starting center. North Carolina-Asheville thought the Orange got help from three men in striped shirts.
With Syracuse facing the kind of NCAA tournament history no team wants to make, the top-seeded Orange rallied for a 72-65 victory Thursday in the second round of the East Regional.
Two calls by the officials had the sellout crowd of 18,927 at Consol Energy Center – except for those wearing orange – booing throughout the final minute but it didn't matter.
Syracuse made it 109-0 for No. 1 seeds against No. 16s since the NCAA went to a field of 64 in 1985.
"I don't think luck had anything to do with this game today," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said, "and I think the better team won."
The Orange were staring at NCAA tournament history. A No. 1 seed has never lost to a No. 16 seed, and they were trailing North Carolina-Asheville with just over 6 minutes to play.
"We gave it everything we had. We battled the best that we could," Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach said. "These guys are great. They deserved a better fate than they had today."
Syracuse, which won the national championship in 2003, had already made negative history in the tournament, becoming the first No. 2 seed to lose to a 15 when it fell 73-69 to Richmond in 1991. The Orange managed to avoid adding another black mark by holding Asheville to one field goal over the final minute while they went 6 of 7 from the free throw line.
Syracuse was playing without 7-foot center Fab Melo, who was declared ineligible for academic reasons by the school and will miss the tournament.
"The fact that this game was close had nothing – nothing – to do with the center position," Boeheim said.
Syracuse (32-2) will play eighth-seeded Kansas State in the third round on Saturday. The Wildcats beat Southern Mississippi 70-64.
The Bulldogs (24-10), who talked Wednesday about pulling off the upset, were led by J.P. Primm's 18 points.
They led 34-30 at halftime – the third 16 to do that – but the Orange took the lead for good with 6:17 left on a turnaround jumper by reserve James Southerland, who had 15 points and a season-high eight rebounds.
"James has to continue to make the shots and I think he will," Syracuse guard Scoop Jardine said. "I'm happy for him because he's a big part of our offense and today he showed it."
Southerland, who scored 13 points in the second half, had three of the Orange's five 3-pointers.
"James came in, gave us a huge lift off the bench," Boeheim said of the 6-foot-8 junior.
The Bulldogs got within three points three times in the final 1:04 but could get no closer as Syracuse made its free throws and the officials made a couple of controversial calls.
The first call that caused the crowd to react was a lane violation with 1:20 left. Jardine missed the front end of a 1-and-1 but Primm was called for passing the head of the key before Jardine let the shot go. Jardine got to shoot the front end again, made it, and made the second for a 64-58 lead.
"They gave me a second chance to make the shot and I made it," Jardine said. "I got myself into a rhythm. I made every free throw from there on out because I do what I practice and believed in myself at that time and made the shots for us."
Primm said: "They showed it on the replay, I think the crowd let him know that it wasn't the right call. … Like I said, when it gets crunch time like that, like I say, everyone is human."
With 35 seconds left and the Orange leading 66-63, the ball appeared to go out of bounds off Syracuse's Brandon Triche but the officials pointed the other way and gave it to the Orange. Jardine made two free throws a second later.
Coordinator of Officiating John Adams said he would have given the ball to UNC Asheville on the inbounds play.
"The out of bounds is not reviewable and it is not a play we would discuss," official Ed Corbett told a pool reporter. "I'm not going to comment further because it is a judgment call. It was a clear (lane) violation. The player released early, before the ball hit the rim. We've since watched the replay 20 times and it was the right call."
Boeheim had his own take on the play with Triche.
"First of all, all the noise about the ball going out of bounds, I mean, Triche got pushed. That's why it went out of bounds," he said. "Maybe they missed the out of bounds, they missed the foul call. Those things equal out."
Inexplicably the Orange kept shooting 3-pointers and missing. Despite having a huge height advantage – Asheville's tallest starter was 6-foot-5, bigger only than the Syracuse guards – the Orange kept taking 3s against the Bulldogs' 2-3 zone, which isn't as well known as the one Syracuse has played for decades but was just as effective Thursday.
The height advantage didn't do much for the Orange as far as rebounding went either as they had 33, one more than the Bulldogs. Then again, Syracuse was outrebounded by its opponents for the season.

Horse Racing, Greyhound Racing and Breeding in the Middle EastTuesday Aug 22nd, 2017
Horse racing is steeped in history in the Middle East and goes back hundreds of years in many Middle Eastern countries. Some of world's leading owners, trainers and racetracks are here and none more so than in the United Arab Emirates. The Emirates have there own Racing Authority which is one of the most respected and sophisticated in the world. There are excellent tracks and racing facilities at Nad al Sheba, Abu Dahbi, Jebel Ali, Sharjah, and Ghantoot. In 2010 what will probably be the most futuritic race track in the world will open in Meydan, Dubai.
Race tracks only opened recently in the Emirates (late 1970's). And while entry to racetracks of such quality in other parts of the world can be expensive, admission to all of the tracks in the Emirates is free.
Nad al Sheba Racecourse in Dubai held the world's richest horse race, the $6 million Dubai World Cup in March 2007.
Arabian horse racing is also famous throughout the region especially in Saudi Arabia, Dohar, Qatar, Egypt and Bahrain. Even during the difficult times in Iraq punters would queue up at the Bagdahd equestrian club. Just off the coast of Lebanon the Nicosia Race Club draws regular large crowds, the Cypriots are in the Chinese and Australian league when it comes to gambling fanatics.
Greyhound racing in the Middle East is again going to be the most prevelant in United Emirates and the major racetrack in the region is just a one hour drive from Dubai at the Al Ain Dog Racing Club Al Ain. Although Greyhounds date back to ancient Egypt there does not seem to be any greyhound racing going on there at current. Also interesting to note that there are Jai Alai frontons in Egypt and some people even suggest the game actually was born there.

RADCLIFFE Borough boss Paul McGuire believes the goals-for column could prove the big difference for the team this season.
Boro won their first home outing against Prescot Cables 3-1 on Tuesday thanks to a Sam Grimshaw brace and a second penalty in as many matches for summer arrival Chris Mason.
Two goals apiece in the opening Evo-Stik Division One North matches has provided encouragement for the Boro boss who knows getting goals from his forward line will aid the challenge further up the table this campaign.
McGuire said: "Everybody knows goals win you games and we have started well with Chris and Sam getting straight off the mark.
"That can definitely help us and it already has with us winning our first home game.
"We were not quite ourselves at Brighouse on Saturday against a side new to the division and up for it, and we paid the price with defeat.
"But we saw the right response against Prescot and it could have been more emphatic such was our performance.
"We moved Sam (Grimshaw) to the right so he could come inside on his left foot and cause problems. The whole team shaped up well and it was good to get that first win so soon.
"As we saw last season, you can fall behind early and be playing catch-up."
While former Manchester City academy star Grimshaw is now in his second season at Stainton Park, it is Mason's first after impressing on a trial.
McGuire is confident he will prove to be a useful acquisition and bring a wealth of experience despite still being just 24 years old.
Mason has played for Welsh side Bala Town, Guiseley, Chorley, Clitheroe and Florianna in Malta but was in between clubs before being handed a chance at Radcliffe.
The Boro boss added: "Chris has started well with two goals – albeit both from the penalty spot. He brings great experience at this level and not only is he a good target man to play off but also has an eye for goal.
"If he could get 15-plus goals this year it would be a big boost for us."
Boro are on home soil again on Saturday when they welcome Lancaster City to Stainton Park.
They will go into the game with confidence after the midweek victory but McGuire admits the performance level will need to be as high against a City side that have opened up with back-to-back wins and came from 2-0 down to triumph at Burscough on Tuesday.
He said: "They are a good team and have started well.
"At the back end of last season they were the best side we faced in the run-in. But our lads can take a lot of positives from the display on Tuesday when it could have ended up 6-1, so we are confident of another good result."

Port of Vancouver: Don't open the floodgates to dirty oil -- Reject Tesoro's proposed oil export facility
Vancouver, Washington is my home. I live here with my nine-year-old daughter, and I am so proud of my city for being a leader in supporting safe, healthy communities. But, right now, oil giant Tesoro is proposing a new project that would transform the Port of Vancouver into one of the West Coast's largest oil ports -- and would drastically increase the carbon pollution fueling droughts, wildfires, and severe storms all over the world.
Tesoro's proposal would potentially ship up to 360,000 barrels of crude oil every day along the Columbia River and would release more than 56 million metric tons of carbon pollution each year, as much as almost 12 million cars worth of greenhouse gas pollution.
I want the best for my daughter. I want her to live in a community that is safe, healthy, and forward-thinking. If the Port of Vancouver Commissioners approve this application from Tesoro, my family and friends will be at a greater risk for asthma and other health problems. We'll be at a greater risk, too, of devastating oil spills and environmental contamination.
The dangers from this oil export facility are too great. Earlier this month, an oil train derailed and exploded in the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic, killing 50 people and forcing thousands to evacuate their homes due to the fire and explosions. The proposed Tesoro oil export facility would carry the exact same kind of oil that tragically burned the Quebec town. The terminal would put more than 1,400 trains every year -- four full trains every day -- on route through Vancouver neighborhoods.
And even if we are lucky enough to avoid a tragedy like the horrific explosion in Quebec, this project is still a disaster for our community. It would increase the production of -- and pollution from -- dirty fossil fuels across the country. Right now, Vancouver is a leading shipper of wind turbine components. If this proposal is approved, instead of being a leader, exporting renewable energy solutions, Vancouver would become a leading pusher of the fossil fuels that are driving global climate change.
We can make a difference. Three years ago, the Port of Vancouver Commission rejected a proposal for a coal port after the community spoke out. With enough public outcry, we can make sure they make the right decision again.
At a time when we desperately need solutions that protect our climate and communities, this proposal is a major step backward. Please, send a message to the Vancouver Port Commissioners and tell them to reject Tesoro's dangerous proposal.

Jerry Oliver

Nancy I. Baker
Dear Commissioners,
We are counting on you to protect the health and safety of the Vancouver community, communities across the country, and our climate. Please, reject Tesoro's proposed oil export facility in the Port of Vancouver.
The dangers of this project go far beyond the community of Vancouver, WA. The combustion of this oil alone (not counting the energy cost of producing the oil) will release over 56 million metric tons of carbon pollution each year, as much as almost 12 million cars worth of the greenhouse gas pollution fueling massive droughts, wildfires and severe storms all over the world.
The Port of Vancouver is a leading shipper of wind energy components. If this export terminal is approved, our clean energy leadership will be undermined by making us one of the West Coast's leading shippers of crude oil that is threatening community health and causing climate change. Tesoro's proposal would result in the shipping up to 360,000 barrels of crude oil every day along the Columbia River and put more than 1,400 oil-transporting trains through Vancouver neighborhoods every year.
The risks to this kind of project are simply too great. Earlier this month, an oil train derailed and exploded in the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic, killing several people and forcing thousands to evacuate their homes because of the fire and explosions. The proposed Tesoro oil export facility would carry the exact same kind of oil that tragically burned the Quebec town.
Please, reject the Tesoro oil export facility proposal.

Police have contacted schools and businesses and have stepped-up patrols as the hunt for an attempted child abductor goes on.
The terrifying incident took place at 11.45am, on October 20, at the junction of Clandon Close and Briarwood Road, in Stoneleigh, when the girl was approached by a man driving a silver car.
The man got out of the vehicle and attempted to pull the girl towards the car, but she pushed him away and ran from the area. The man then got back into the car and drove away.
A police spokesman said there have been no arrests but they are following up a number of lines of enquiry.
The incident has shocked the community with 1,400 people reading the story on this website overnight.
Some Stoneleigh residents praised police for their response while others said they had no idea it had happened.
Brian Radford, from B Radford and Son butchers in Stoneleigh Broadway, said there was a big police presence at the weekend.
He said: "They have come in the shops and they have given us a warning. We see a majority of people in this area so we can pass on the message."
Mr Radford said parents were also passing the warning on their children.
He said: "It makes them a bit apprehensive about going out themselves.
"When you are out of sight you do worry. You don't expect it in these sorts of areas.
"Stoneleigh Councillor Pamela Brady only found out about it today. She said: "I was absolutely horrified. People have been found dead after things like this."
Coun Brady said children walking home from school as darker evenings draw in needed to be made aware of the dangers.
She said: "If children are old enough to walk home they need to be aware."
A local mother who did not want to be named said the school had passed on a message from the Metropolitan Police.
She said: "I feel they are making parents aware in the area. It does give cause for concern."
She said sadly there is always going to be someone out there who try to approach and abduct children.
She said: "It's just a matter of parents being more vigilant."
Kim Bell, from New Image hairdressers on the Broadway, said she had not heard of the attempted abduction until being contacted by the Epsom Guardian.
Ms Bell said: "I did notice a big police presence on Saturday but I just assumed it was because of the football (being shown at the pub)."
The man police are hunting is white, in his late 20s or early 30s, around 5ft 11in, with curly brown hair with specks of grey. He has an athletic build, and his top row of teeth were damaged and several were missing.
The car he was driving is described as a silver saloon with tinted windows which had a number of dents in the bodywork.
Detective Inspector Oana King said: "This was a serious incident where a young girl was approached whilst walking home alone and we are investigating this matter as a priority.
"Fortunately, the girl was not injured during the incident but this was obviously a hugely upsetting experience for her and we are doing everything possible to identify the man involved and the vehicle he was driving.
"Surrey Police officers are carrying out additional high visibility patrols in Stoneleigh and I would urge anyone who may have seen or heard anything out of the ordinary on Saturday morning to contact Surrey Police as a matter of urgency."
Anyone with information should call the police on 101, quoting reference EP/12/4133, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Absolutely pleased!
LOVE it! Using L-brackets, Husband modified it so that the rack hangs from the inside of a small upper cabinet. The espresso-stain nearly matches the stain of our own kitchen cabinets, that I swear makes this thing look built-in. One of the two wood slats was slightly warped but not enough that it warranted a return-trip to Overstock. I have had this ceiling rack on my wish list for over a year, and I'm so pleased that I can cross this off my list.Read More

This works perfectly in the space that I had decided for it. It comes with all the mounting equipment necessary. There are plenty of hooks to hang it at the right level. The hooks are slightly too thick or short (thinner or longer would probably help) for our pots, but I think our pots have thicker handles than most. We can still hang the pots, but they don't hook on as securely as I prefer.. no problems with falling pots though. The color of the wood looks really sharp, and it was easy to assemble. I like that it has a combination of swivel hooks and non-swivel hooks, all of which can slide along the track.Read More

Letter To The Editor
Debating Burner PlacementI read the article by Jim Feese ("Optimizing Burner Placement," Ceramic Industry/Brick & Clay Record, August 2005, pp. 27-30) with great interest because burner placement is often overlooked in kiln design. Using Fluent(r) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is helpful, but the reported results seem to conflict with my experience. I have evaluated more than 300 Datapaq curves for tunnel kilns and have never seen the recessed mounting of burners achieve the uniformity of flush-mounted systems. The modeling software, though accurate, depends on many variables that must be selected by the user. These variables, which are often "guessed," can make a tremendous difference in the calculated results.
Air entrainment in kiln burners is helpful in multiple ways. Most importantly, though, entrainment significantly reduces the burner jet temperature and therefore promotes temperature uniformity and freedom from excessive hot spots in the kiln. An additional improvement in NOx emissions is a further benefit.
The article notes that all recessed installations promoted "far more entrainment...than the flush-mounted burner," but the temperature uniformity reported does not support this conclusion. The flush-mounted system produced a reported delta T of 120°F in the load. The recessed delta T values for 19 in. and 6 in. recessed burners were reported to be 280°F (worse) and 70°F, respectively, despite both burners having higher calculated entrainment ratios. This inconsistency in the data should be further evaluated.
I believe that the difference between flush-mounted vs. recessed has more to do with the fact that different burners were used in the flush vs. recessed models. The two burners selected have around a 10% difference in output, as well as different mixing characteristics, as indicated by the extreme differences in the excess air (XSA) capabilities of the two burners.
Ralph Ruark, Ruark Engineering
Bradenton, Fla., firstname.lastname@example.com
The Author Responds:As mentioned in the article, the entrainment results will depend on tunnel geometry. If the curves evaluated were with burners substantially more recessed instead of only 6 in. recessed, I would expect the uniformity to be worse, as shown. All modeling parameters used for the article-including relevant boundary conditions such as the furnace and tunnel geometry, zone temperatures and flue gas from previous zones-were from an actual furnace. However, as Ralph points out, this is a steady-state model-i.e., the benefits of furnace atmosphere stirring due to pulse firing are not accounted for-so the model does have limitations.
With regard to the apparent difference between the temperature uniformity and entrainment values, temperature uniformity is a function of the heat release profile and burner location, as well as the heat transfer in the furnace-not just entrainment.
There may be some differences in results between the recessed vs. flush-mounted burner cases as noted, since two different burners were modeled. However, modeling the two burners at the same average burner exit velocity mitigated the magnitude of such a difference. In the future, we plan to run the flush-mounted case using the same burner as the recessed cases to further validate the results.

Bedtime comes and goes.
I splash the kids with the last of my kisses,
putting them in their place among the things
of their world: stuffed animals, action figures,
Lego blocks, and puzzle pieces. Then I take
my place between the sheets of the queen-sized bed,
listen to wind rattle the hooks on the neighbors' flagpole
as the last evening commuter rail pulls wearily into the station.
Tonight I am grateful for this almost-silence,
the cadence between night and day,
and the chance to insert myself into it.

edit Broken rendering
FYI, whatever people did to the layout of this article, it's horribly broken on Konqueror 3.3.1. Which means that it's probably broken on Safari (the dominant Mac browser, which shares a codebase) from roughly the same time period as this version of Konqueror came out. -- Rei 19:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, the problem is in Template:Factoid. :P -- Rei 19:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry it's not working, but is anyone else amused by the irony that an article called "African Giraffe" doesn't run in a browser called "Safari"? User:Wehpudicabok/sig 22:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
edit Overhaul
I fixed this article up in a huge way. Most of my edits should not be changed back, as they were grammatical, but I put in a lot of commas that I felt were necessary, and if anyone thinks that the tone of the article was altered too much, they are free to take out the unnecessary ones.
Also, I moved the page from "African Giraffe" to "African giraffe," since the second is the proper title. I don't think there should be any objections to this, but if there are any, please voice them here. User:Wehpudicabok/sig 04:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

The Melbourne Response attaches the "stigma" of being a paedophile to priests, brothers and nuns it determines guilty of clerical abuse, the Catholic Church's independent investigator says.
The Royal Commission into child sexual abuse is investigating the effectiveness of the Melbourne Response, the church's internal process for handling victims' complaints.
Jeffrey Gleeson, QC, is one of its two Independent Commissioners who assesses victims' complaints. He appeared before the Commission on Friday and defended the scheme, saying it helped victims feel "believed". He also said it was his role to tell them they did not have to report to police if they did not want to.
The Commission's chairman, Justice Peter McClellan, asked Mr Gleeson whether his approach to complaints was driven by concerns about how his decisions would impact on clerics or for victims: "Because the redress scheme in itself has no consequences for the alleged abuser."
Mr Gleeson rejected this, saying that clerics were named when he found there had been abuse which meant "that person suffers the appropriate stigma of having been determined to be a paedophile."
He maintained that the Melbourne Response gave victims the satisfaction of being believed. Complainants always told him "it's not about the money and I believe them. It's about being believed that the priest, brother or nun abused them.
"I don't want to speak for all victims but my sense ... is that they need to know there's a factual finding that Father X did that."
The Church has given hundreds of victims ex gratia payments through the scheme since it was established by Cardinal George Pell in 1996, who was then Archbishop of the Melbourne Archdiocese.
Mr Gleeson, appointed in 2012, agreed that clerics should be disciplined, and all steps taken to make sure they did not re-offend.
He once advised the Melbourne Archbishop that a priest be stood down indefinitely, and said he would "expect to be informed" if this was disputed.
"But in the end I can only recommend," Mr Gleeson said.
Victims have criticised the Melbourne Response's other Independent Commissioner, Peter O'Callaghan, QC, of discouraging them from reporting abuse allegations to police by discussing their prospects of a conviction, which both he and Mr Gleeson rejected.
Victoria Police recently wrote to the Melbourne Response about the "perception that victims contacting police (believed this) necessitated a full investigation which it doesn't". They attached, at the Melbourne Archdiocese's request, a brochure on its child exploitation Taskforce SANO.
The brochure says victims can choose to make a formal report and initiate an investigation, tell their story and defer the decision, or make a statement and decide not to proceed formally with an investigation.
Mr Gleeson said he would provide victims all these options "and add another option which is not to go to police. I'd like every complainant to go to police but I'm not going to force them to."
He was asked by counsel assisting the Commission, Gail Furness, SC, about his duty to advise victims to seek independent legal advice.
Mr Gleeson said it was not his role to advise them to get independent legal advice about their prospects of taking civil action against the church of the offender.
He typically only advised them to get other legal representation when he realised that the alleged offender was deceased.

This week, an Islamic court at Funtua, in Katsina State, in northern Nigeria rejected the appeal of a woman convicted of having sex out of wedlock. Her lawyers will likely appeal her conviction to a higher Sharia court, and if necessary, to Nigeria's Supreme Court, but if the judgment of the Funtua court stands, Amin Lawal will be stoned to death the moment her daughter is weaned.
Muslim-Christian relations are tense all over the world, but nowhere are they more inflamed than in Nigeria, the most populous country where Christians and Muslims exist in roughly equal numbers. The flash point for Muslim-Christian tensions is Sharia, or Muslim religious law.
The spread of Islamic law in Nigeria--since late 1999 ten of the country's 36 states have adopted Sharia as their public law--has provoked a sharp outcry against the severe punishments it levies, including amputation for thieves and death by stoning for woman convicted of adultery.
As a Muslim lawyer who practices in a Sharia court in Kano, Nigeria's second-largest city, the demonization of Islamic law by Christians and human rights activists in Europe and North America angers me. Sharia law is systematically distorted and misunderstood. But as someone trained in American law who has taught at an American law school, I also am aware of the shortcomings in how Sharia is applied, especially in its treatment of women.
