Starhawk map packs will be free for everyone!
In an unexpected launch day announcement, Lightbox Interactive has confirmed that all map packs for Starhawk will be free.
"There was a lot of discussion here at LightBox Interactive and Sony Santa Monica on how best to support the community and keep our player base all together as one cohesive group," LightBox president Dylan Job wrote on the PlayStation Blog. "We really didn't like how in Warhawk when we released a new map pack, it forced these divisions on our players. And after we released three expansions, our player community was pretty fractured. With Starhawk that ends!"
That means all present and future map pack releases will be completely free. On top of that, Lightbox has already started working on the next map pack. Below are a few "early sketches" from the new planet of Cypress, a lush, swampy world that's home to an abandoned research facility that many years ago was responsible for researching the mysteries of Rift Energy.
With that being said, Starhawk will have some paid DLC content in the future.
"We're still playing around with what that will be. We're going to be looking to see what the player feedback is on Starhawk in the coming weeks to help steer the DLC that we develop for you all," Job concluded. "This is our commitment to all of you, the players. I hope you all get a chance to enjoy Starhawk – not only with today's retail release but for the months and years to come!"
Starhawk is now available in North America for PlayStation 3. It is set to release tomorrow, May 9, in Europe.

Academic Background
BaH in Psychology, Queen's University, 1999
MA in Theory, Culture and Politics, Trent University, 2004
PhD in Communication, Concordia University, 2009
Specifically, my research addresses topics such as digital intimacies, the relationship of intimacy and privilege, hybridity and mixed-race identities, the social and cultural aspects new media forms, and non/monogamy in the public sphere. It is situated disciplinarily at the nexus of communication and cultural studies; methodologically within discourse analysis; and draws theoretical energy from a wide range of sources such as feminist, queer, postcolonial, and critical race theories; semiotics, affect theory, event theory and psychoanalysis.
My book, Fraught Intimacies: Non/Monogamy in the Public Sphere (UBC Press, 2015) explores the increased mediation of non-monogamies since the early ninetiesin every medium from television, to film, to self-help books, to the Internetand how such convergent mediation opens these discourses up to societal scrutiny, as well as transformation. By exploring the privileged logics that frame our conceptions of intimacy, I explore the political and cultural implications of how we frame non-monogamy broadly in sexual discourse, as well as how the public sphere presences of three major forms of non-monogamy (adultery, polygamy and polyamory) display a complex relationship with intimate privilege, an emergent state in which ones intimacies are read as viable, ethical or even real.
My new research is on the history of digital intimacies. This project investigates the intimate potentials and problematics of social media forms, drawing critical insights from intimacy theory (a subset of queer theory), but extending its ambit to consider multiple forms of digitally mediated togetherness. This project employs discourse analysis in combination with digital humanities methodologies to investigate past, existing, and emerging forms of digitally mediated intimacy. These include such topics as hashtags as technosocial assemblages; MMOs and avatar infidelity; the politics of race-activist hashtags such as #Ferguson; haptics and digital touching; and the emerging sex robot industry. In conjunction with this project I also edited the collection Hashtag Publics: The Power and Politics of Discursive Networks (Digital Formations series, Peter Lang, 2015). This collection investigates the diversity of publics that hashtags address, with politics and positionalities ranging from subcultural and community maintenance; to speaking back to state, corporate and societal power and privilege.

WINSFORD have postponed a decision on who should be Eddy Haslam's permanent successor as manager.
In a statement, Blues confirmed that Rob Byrne, the departed boss' number two this season, and coach Kevin Bircumshaw would together pick the team for matches in the coming weeks.
Whether they continue to do so beyond then will depend on results on the pitch.
"We believe we're in a false position in the table," said chairman Mark Loveless.
"The squad is a good one, and the players want to stay and try to take us up the standings.
"Rob and Kevin will work on a week-by-week basis, and the club will make a decision early in the New Year as to what will happen for the remainder of the season."
Winsford have lost six of their past seven matches in the North West Counties League's Premier Division, slipping into the relegation zone following last Saturday's 2-1 home defeat against fellow strugglers Bacup.
Loveless told the Guardian afterwards it was one of the worst performances he had seen by a team in blue since they were previously demoted to the league's second tier in 2003.
The only side with a worse results record to date, rock-bottom Wigan Robin Park, visit Barton Stadium this Saturday.
Blues were 3-1 victors against the same opponents on the campaign's opening afternoon back in August.
"There is half of the season left and we're confident we can finish in the table's top half," added Loveless.
Byrne plans to meet supporters before Saturday's game during a forum in the social club.
After that he will attempt to deliver a first home league win in two months.
He said: "This group of young players is talented, and they've produced some wonderful football to watch at times.
"However with that has come inconsistency that proven costly; we haven't taken enough points from those matches we've dominated.
"The spirit in the changing room remains upbeat, and the lads are determined to dig deep to get the results we need to climb the table.
"With games in hand, our destiny is in our own hands."

A teenage girl and a young man sought in a crossbow slaying in Eureka were taken into custody Monday.
Phoenix Triton King, 20, and the unidentified 16-year-old surrendered to a Humboldt County Sheriff's SWAT team around 3:15 p.m. They had been reported by residents who had heard news reports of a hunt for the homicide suspects.
The pair had been sought since shortly after noon Sunday, when two men were struck by arrows on the Samoa Peninsula, between Arcata Bay and the Pacific Ocean. A 44-year-old man died, having been struck in the face by an arrow. A 41-year-old man had injuries to the scalp, hip and shin.
Two people reported fleeing the area abandoned their bicycles and ran into the woods. An extensive hunt, including a helicopter, was conducted until 11:45 Sunday night by agencies including the California Highway Patrol, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Arcata Police Department, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and the Bureau of Land Management.
The two were reported Monday afternoon near a nature center on the peninsula, about two miles north of the site of the attack.
Both the victims were homeless and had been living in an encampment for several months. It is believed that the suspects thought the victims had stolen items from their camp.

Roger Linn Previews New LinnStrument Prototype from Turnstyle Video on Vimeo.
Maybe the LinnStrument is too late in an iPad world. The pressure sensitivity stuff is good but couldn't it be replicated with an iPad using the gyroscope ala Garageband? Still I love watching the man in his home with his invention… very nice.
"Mr. Linn has a new toy — the LinnStrument. It looks like an iPad with a grid of pressure sensitive note buttons to capture expression, pitch and timbre of each note individually and all at once. The product is not yet ready for mass consumption but take a sneak peek at the LinnStument prototype in action." – Turnstyle Video

I'm assuming those are all 100's? Otherwise I'd think the pile would be much larger.
Good guy Kevin Durant:
http://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments...slip_and_fall/I was working for Fox at the OKC Thunder game last night. After the game, one of our camera operators slipped and fell on the stairs last night. KD is about to walk his mother out, but sees this happen. He said to his mom, "Hold on a minute."He walks up to our cameraman says "Hey are you alright?", he then walks our cameraman back to the production truck. On the way, they talk and decide that his finger might be broken, so they go to the arena's x-ray machine and KD arranges for our guy to get an x-ray right there.
And to top it off, he waited there with him. Turns out the finger was broken. And once it was over, he walked our guy back to the truck and got him some ice.
I wasn't in there for the x-ray being done, but I would like to assume that KD personally performed the x-ray and then gave our guy a piece of candy afterwards.
Anyway, I just thought that was a cool story.
Well lets hope a miracle happens and the Knicks win a game
Exactly. Knicks need to start winning games.
Meanwhile, heck of a game between the Wiz and Raptors.
Oh Knicks.
Least they aren't the Nuggets tonight, holy crap I had to do a double take when looking at the score.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
It just boggles my mind that the NBA let one of their most recognizable franchises get murdered in cold blood like that. So depressing
Watching this Knicks-Warriors game... Man are the Knicks awful.
If any team needed a first round pick it's them lol. Oh well their #nymade
Melo talks all about how he wants to win the championship, so I can't see how he would rationalize in his mind that the Knicks with Dolan leading them can EVER be a serious title contender. Melo to the Bulls, calling it now
Because he thinks, and is, a top tier player. It's the same scenario as Kobe and the Lakers to a lesser degree. They aren't THAT far out from having max money to offer whoever and they've got the NYC market. Realistically Melo's never going to win dick in NY but when you're a top 8ish player in the league you don't think in terms of "man, I could go to X and win" it's "they'll come and win here with me."
And obviously the immediate rebuttal is Lebron. Anyone want to pretend he made a bad decision?
But New York really doesn't have much money to spend until about 2 years from now. It seems even Melo is beginning to show signs of wanting out
Say hello to the NBA's newest super hero!
"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
Tyson Chandler needs to focus on basketball first and stop trying to be a "tough guy" out there.
Well we aren't the only team waiting for a piece (Bynum) to make a debut. Phoenix still expects Eric Bledsoe to play sometime in March. No timetable yet though. Meanwhile, Ben Gordon is still negotiating a buyout with the Bobcats. I don't think he's gonna make it lol.
Unpopular opinion alert: I actually liked LeBron's carbon fiber mask. Not really sure why the NBA is outlawing it.
To echo BlueCollarColts…..the reality is that the Knicks have $48 mil locked up in 3 Players….Amare/Chandler/Bargnani. Not counting the mess of Players that they have guaranteed $$$ to….they will be over the LT next season. The Knicks won't be able to offer ANYONE of significance until the 2015-2016 season.
You think that Melo is going to sign a MAX contract with the Knicks, go through the same garbage for another season and wait it out for the Knicks to have MAX level $$$ to sign Player in 2015-2016?
All this talk about wanting to stay in NY IMHO is lip-service to show that he's not skipping out on the Team that he's on now. I guess it's possible that he just takes MAX $$$ and waits it out in NY for another season….but I don't see Melo missing out on taking a chance to do what the LeDecision, Wade and TagAlong ( all Free Agents ) and take a NEAR MAX contract ( yes, a slight pay cut ) to play with other Elite Level Players in some other city. IMHO…I think that LeDecision/Wade/TagAlong set a precedence by deciding to take a pay cut by taking a NEAR MAX contract with a 4th Year ETO so that their Team could afford to sign other Big Time Players.
I can totally see Melo do that…even by going to the Bulls ( as BlueCollarColts suggested ) with a NEAR MAX Contract….just to play in a Big Market and play with DRose/Butler/Noah. I don't see how the Lakers and any other Team with a HUGE amount of CapSpace won't be courting Melo, LeDecision, Wade and/or TagAlong in the Offseason in an effort to form another Super Team.

A Perfect Opportunity to Stand Back
Black Friday is like Christmas for my wife, though it is more of a love-hate relationship than anything. She hates the crowds, but loves the "bargains." She hates staying up late to get out early in the morning, but loves grabbing a middle-of-the-night coffee or Diet Coke (KO) from McDonald's (MCD) -- and, yes, it must be a Diet Coke from McDonald's. She hates Wal-Mart (WMT) and loves Target (TGT), but hits both anyway -- and always in that order. She's also been on both sides of Black Friday, as she worked has retail as a manager, so I respect her "expert" opinions over the years, and I do appreciate that she can do it -- because I hate Black Friday myself.
I'd love to give you her report for this year, but I hate to tell you she is still asleep. It is the best thing I can "buy" her on Black Friday: a chance to sleep in....376 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Hi, I'm CodeCat! I've been editing Wiktionary since 2007, and I was made an administrator in 2010.
I am active on a variety of languages, which you can see listed here to the right. I speak them to various degrees, but I can have a (very) basic text conversation in all of them, as long as I have Wiktionary nearby to look things up!
I also work a lot with templates on Wiktionary, they are often very useful if they can be used right. If you have a template issue I might be able help you with it. Please ask in my talk page and I'll see what I can do for you.
I also have a cute
kitty bot that I call MewBot. She helps me do things that are too hard for me to do alone, like automatically creating entries for inflected forms of verbs, adjectives and such. MewBot has a user page too, so take a look there to see what can be done. If you need some inflection entries done, give the kitty a cheezburger and maybe she'll do it for you. ;)

What you can do to help Wiktionary get even better[edit]
These are some things that I try to do for the languages I edit. Of course I can't do them all, all the time, but they are good things to work on and improve. If you feel like lending a hand, you could try improving in one of these areas too.
- Put declension and conjugation templates on entries that lack/need them.
- Provide etymology where you can, especially for compounds, using
{{suffix}}and such.
- Don't use the pagename in bold (like '''pagename''') on the headword line if you can. If you see it like that in an existing entry, you should probably replace it with
{{head|code|pos}}(replace code with the code for the language, like en for English, and replace pos with the part of speech, such as adjective).
- Use a form-bot if there is one! It's the easiest way to make all form-of entries look consistent and to make sure there aren't any missing. You could ask the editors of your favourite language(s) if there is a bot for that language. And if not, maybe you could write one yourself, instead?
- Replace other generic templates (such as
{{plural of}}etc.) with language-specific ones if they exist. Most languages have their own headword-line templates, which you can use to provide information specific for that language, such as inflected forms.
- If you see redundant or deprecated templates, you should probably replace them with 'current' versions.
- If an entry has several parts of speech, I like to put the form-of entries at the bottom, so that the most important information comes first. Some people like to order the parts of speech alphabetically, but that doesn't really make sense to me because it might mean the sense that people are most likely to look for is at the bottom.
I really love working on Proto-Germanic, it's interesting to see where words come from and sometimes there are fun surprises. What kind of things would they have said in it? How did it sound?
Here are some fun things I did with Proto-Germanic that I can't really put anywhere else.
- Word list of the modern Germanic language - What if people still spoke Proto-Germanic today?
- Beowulf in Proto-Germanic - One of the oldest and best known pieces of Germanic literature... but even older! :)

RICHMOND — The Contra Costa County Fire Department is investigating who may have started several small fires at Adams Middle School that damaged a classroom and main assembly area Tuesday night.
The fires– four in all — were discovered around 11 p.m. in the main building of the school, according to Acting Battalion Chief Steve Akre. Another fire was extinguished early Wednesday morning and all are considered suspicious. The fires caused smoke and water damage throughout the school, Akre said.
Adams Middle School has sat vacant since 2009, following a decision by the West Contra Costa Unified School District to relocate its 800-plus students in the wake of a budget shortfall that prevented mandated seismic upgrades to the building. Since then, windows have been covered with plywood and security locks installed on gates in an attempt to keep squatters out.
Despite the district's best efforts, there are still plenty of "access points" for someone intent on accessing the property.
"The longer it sits empty, the more likely of a target for vandalism it becomes," Akre said.

THE last two Ryman Premier champions – Billericay Town and Sutton United – will meet for the first time in the Conference South tomorrow.
Billericay held off late pressure from Hornchurch to go up last year, while Sutton cantered away with the title the season before.
That last meeting between the two sides in late April 2011 ended in a 1-0 win for Town with a 74th minute winner from Tony Boot.
The only player still at Billericay who started that day is winger Junior Luke, and he says the side has made great progress since then.
He said: "I think that team we had back then was a good side on paper, and a very good footballing side.
"But sometimes with that side we could not get the momentum we needed to carry us through and we lacked the character needed to win games.
"But last season we would just bombard teams and our work rate was terrific, and we would keep going until we got a result.
"Basically the squad we've got together now just has that will to win, and we have great team spirit whether we lose or win."
Luke missed Billericay's last game – a 4-2 win at Truro on January 12 – with a hamstring injury.
He says tomorrow's game may come too soon for him as he continues his rehab, but he hopes to perhaps come into contention for Tuesday's visit of Eastbourne.
Like admits, like so many clubs, the bad-weather postponements have been hugely frustrating, but said they did some indoor conditioning work this week.
He said: "What we need to do is build on that performance against Truro when we play Sutton.
"It's a crazy league where a couple of wins can take you into the play-off places, and we want to make home advantage count."
Sutton will start the game second-from-bottom, but they are only two points behind 15th-placed Billericay in what is a very congested table.
Billericay striker Joe Benjamin is suspended.
Bury Town were appealing for people to help clear the snow off the pitch at Ram Meadow yesterday in a bid to get tomorrow's Ryman Premier game with Concord Rangers on.
Sixth-placed Concord are level with seventh-placed Bury on 35 points and both are pushing for a return to the play-off places.
Like so many clubs, the Beachboys will be desperate to play after nearly three weeks out of action because of the freezing weather.
Concord cleared their pitch of snow this week and offered Bury the chance to reverse the fixture and travel to Essex tomorrow – but they declined.
Concord manager Danny Cowley said: "It's their prerogative to do that, and I can understand it because they will feel they can get a better crowd by having it on a Saturday rather than hosting us on a Tuesday.
"We know they've made efforts to clear the pitch and now we're just keeping our fingers crossed that it is on.
"To be honest, we'll be disappointed if it does not go ahead now.
"And if it is on it should be a good game. I think they are as good a footballing side as there is in the division and if we take anything away from a trip there I will be happy."
Concord's influential player coach Nicky Cowley is suspended for the game.
Canvey Island manager Steve Tilson said on Tuesday there were still no new signings to report ahead of tomorrow's visit of Harrow Borough.
The Gulls have been down to the bare bones with their squad since the turn of the year, but have still managed three league wins from five to move into the final play-off spot.
Harrow start the weekend one place above the relegation zone but they've found some steady form of late with a win, three draws and a defeat from their last five matches.
The Gulls won the reverse fixture 3-1 in October.
Sam Higgins could return to the East Thurrock squad for tomorrow's scheduled trip to Margate.
Rocks' top-scorer has had a lengthy lay-off with a hamstring tear, but manager John Coventry said there's a chance he may be on the bench at Hartsdown Park.
He said: "Higgo could be in the squad but it would only be to give him 10 minutes if we are in a position to do that in the game. He's a long way off being match fit."
Margate, third in the Ryman Premier, appointed their goalkeeper Craig Holloway as caretaker manager this week following the departure of Chris Kinnear to take over at Dover.
Holloway has brought in former Margate favourite Danny Hockton and former Crystal Palace, Wolves, Gillingham and Walsall midfielder Simon Osborn, to assist him.
Coventry said: "When a new manager comes in like this you are never sure how a team will react. But they are third for a reason, so it will be tough."
Margate appealed for volunteers to clear their pitch of snow this week in a bid to try and get tomorrow's game on, and Coventry said the main concern is likely to be over whether it is water-logged.
The teams played out a goalless draw at Rookery Hill in early December in a match which Coventry felt they could easily have won.
Coventry said that Concord's re-arranged league cup quarter-final with Wroxham on Tuesday has left them without a game that night, so he is trying to arrange a friendly.
Followers of the Step 5 game in south Essex will again be studying the weather forecast and keeping their fingers crossed for kind weather ahead of tomorrow's scheduled Essex Senior League programme.
Basildon United's home league game with London APSA, and Bowers & Pitsea's league cup trip to Eton Manor on Wednesday evening, were the latest victims of the weather.
The Bees are set to go to Eton Manor tomorrow, while Bowers have a trip to Takeley.
Southend Manor are away to leaders Burnham Ramblers, and second-placed Great Wakering Rovers are due to host Sawbridgeworth Town.
Hullbridge Sports are set to go to London Bari.

New traffic laws were among the 800 bills passed by the California Legislature this year, with most going into effect New Year's Day. The new laws change everything from testing options for drivers arrested for driving under the influence to regulations on texting and charter party carriers.
Several laws expand the use of electronic devices on the road. AB1536 authorizes drivers to use voice activated texting devices. SB1298 essentially gives driverless cars learners' permits by allowing their operation on public roads as long as a licensed driver remains present. Under AB1708, drivers may use electronic devices to provide paperless proof of insurance and registration.
SB1303 provides new guidelines for government agencies using red light cameras. The new requirements prohibit governmental agencies from making a profit on the installation, establish requirements to define a specific safety benefit for any new installation and establish guidelines for issuing and handling any resulting citations.
AB2489 creates a $250 infraction to alter or deface a license plate making it unreadable by visual or electronic means. This is meant to help law enforcement utilize cruiser mounted electronic scanning of license plates.
It will now be illegal, according to AB1854 to sell previously deployed air bags or air bag parts not up to original equipment specifications.
Hospitals, birthing centers and clinics discharging children younger than 8 years old must provide the child caregivers information on child safety seats per AB 1452.
Driver's licenses will be now be issued in California to people without Social Security accounts with some qualifications, according to AB2189.
The Amber alert system will be expanded to include a Silver alert for at risk missing seniors.
High occupancy toll lanes may now be accessed by vehicles with a clean air vehicle sticker according to AB2405.
Drivers suspected of driving under the influence of drugs must now submit to a blood test to determine the extent of impairment. AB2020 removes the option drivers had to choose either a urine or a blood test. Urine tests are considered an inaccurate and unreliable measure of drug levels in a person's system. Many DUI attorneys have advised their clients to opt for the urine sample due to its unreliability making it easier to challenge in court, according to the legislative analyst.
AB45 prohibits underage drinking on charter carriers and requires a chaperone at least 25-years-old for trips where alcohol and passengers under the legal drinking age are present.

My favorite winter time gear that is not a tacky disc further tackied up by whatever goo you use like beeswax or some bowling or baseball tacky stuff are light grippy shoes that do not limit the mobility of my ankle. Light mobility retaining shoes make walking much less taxing and good grip (it helps to have grip enhancers) reduce slipping on each step so the experience is much nicer. What you need for low tops in the winter is the fave gear of mine -Sealskinz water proof socks. They don't go infinitely high so using downhill skiing pants that seal the pant legs from the snow getting in under the top of the socks means that i almost never get snow thus moisture inside the pants.
It does not hurt to have 800 grams per square meter material in merino wool socks inside the Sealskinz in colder weather Polar explorers use those.

Before you think I'm crazy, no pun intended. I think that Peyton needs to seek professional help. Everyone, needs some one to talk to who can be objective. People have phobias. I have a fear of driving over bridges. I do it but it terrifies me! I always feel like the bridge, even if it's an over-pass is going to collapse. I deal with it. I try and look straight ahead, and I don't stop on a bridge.
I can't sleep with a closet door open. I can't do it. You would think that if there were something in the closet you would want to know about it. If there is something in there, the closed door will keep it there I guess.
Maybe Peyton needs to see someone about getting past the Patriots. I think if he did this once, get past the Patriots, then the stigma would be gone. I was hoping we would have beaten them in the first game. Maybe Peyton and Tony can get a group discount.
What do you guys think?

A's reinstate Callaspo, option Freiman
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland Athletics have reinstated infielder Alberto Callaspo from the 15-day disabled list and optioned first baseman Nate Freiman to Triple-A Sacramento, the team announced today.
Callaspo was placed on the DL July 12 with a right hamstring strain. He appeared in one game on a rehab assignment with Single-A Stockton last night, a start at second base (also appeared at third base). Callaspo is batting .234 with three home runs and 31 RBI in 83 games. He has started at least 10 games at four different positions, including 29 at designated hitter, 18 at second base, 16 at first base and 13 at third base. He is the first Athletic to start at least 10 games at four different positions since Jason Giambi in 1996.
Freiman was batting .212 with one home run and six RBI in 14 games. He was recalled from Sacramento June 29 for his first stint with the A's this season and started eight of the A's 23 games since then at first base. Freiman was leading the Pacific Coast League and tied for fourth in all of minor league baseball with 69 RBI at the time of his promotion. He was batting .277 with 14 home runs in 76 games for Sacramento.

Jörg Schauer and Marc Basseng. Sponsorship out of passion.
Marc Basseng and Jörg Schauer know each other for many years. A closer contact occured during a driving training on the Nordschleife/Nürburgring, and that ultimately resulted in a personal sponsorship of Jörg Schauer for Marc.
For Schauer, there are several things that characterize the racing driver Marc Basseng, and particularly in focus are: precision, passion in implementation, while still emitting calmness and a high level of quality. Moreover, the absolute will to deliver a good performance anytime. Everything always fair, yet highly emotionally charged. Marc is also distinguished by his great team spirit. He proves that in many races where he shares the cockpit with one, two or even three (24 H Race) racing colleagues. Winning the FIA GT1 World Championship as team manager AND driver was certainly the highlight in his career so far. Surviving this double burden with permanently good achievements during the race, was a top performance. In the combination of these specific characteristics of Basseng, Jörg Schauer sees great similarities to his watches. Therefore, he finds Marc suitable as a brand ambassador for his flamboyant, characterful watches. Some watches that have emerged in recent years, documented this individuality (Edition 15 Sport, 24 H GMT Countdown etc.).
Both want to intensify the cooperation with the new watch that Jörg Schauer is presenting this year. At the moment, a unique piece is created - the Schauer Analog Reminder GT Sport. This watch will be the model of a watch series that serves very individual and characterful watch collectors. Watch lovers who would like to own an individualized, handmade watch. Impressive in size (46 mm), made of robust materials that are also used in motorsport (titanium/stainless steel) and a new innovative (reminder) function. For characterful winners!
GT Racing. Authentic.
In today's GT race very powerful but still relatively close to series production cars meet. Almost every car manufacturer is now represented there. Exciting races with a great atmosphere are guaranteed. The highlights of each season are the 24-hour races: 24 H Daytona, 24 H Le Mans, 24 H SPA or the 24 H Race on the most difficult track in the world, the legendary Nordschleife at the Nürburgring. Marc Basseng won this race in 2012, in an Audi R8 LMS.
The actual watch for the season 2016.
Analog Reminder GT Sport. Unique piece for Marc Basseng.
On the basis of the new watch from Jörg Schauer, a unique piece was built timely to the beginning of the season 2016.
Four important events for every driver are realized:
1 - Free Practice - FPI
2 - Qualifying - QUALI
3 - Warmup
4 - Race
In addition to it, the upper part of the rubber strap was individualized with the tread of a "rainracetire".
The second part bears the names of the most important 24h races: Daytona, Le mans etc.
A watch for the win of the legendary 24 H race on the Nordschleife/Nürburgring. Unique piece: 24 H Countdown watch with a picture of the car in the night.
Smalltalk before the race. Marc normally is the startdriver. A lot of experience is needed.

NHTSA — Fuel/Propulsion System Problems
2011 Dodge Durango (Page 4 of 4)
CarComplaints.com Notes: The third generation Durango is plagued by a defective TIPM, particularily in the 2011 and 2012 model years.
TIPM, which stands for Totally Integrated Power Modules, is responsible for controlling and distributing power to all the vehicle's electrical functions. So when your TIPM goes haywire, bad things start happening. Things like your water pump can stop working, your engine can stall out and your airbags can randomly deploy.

Do you think like Sherlock Holmes?
I do not think like Sherlock Holmes. Not in the least.
That was the rather disheartening conclusion I reached while researching a book on the detective's mental prowess.
I'd hoped to discover that I had the secret to Sherlockian thought.
What I found instead was that it would be hard work indeed to even begin to approximate the essence of the detective's approach to the world: his ever-mindful mindset and his relentless mental energy.
Holmes was a man eternally on, who relished that on-ness and floundered in its absence. It would be exhausting to think like Sherlock. And would it really be worth it in the end?
It all began with those pesky steps, the stairs leading up to the legendary residence that Sherlock Holmes shares with Dr Watson, 221B Baker Street.
Why couldn't Watson recall the number of steps?
"I believe my eyes are as good as yours," Watson tells his new flatmate - as, in fact, they are.
But the competence of the eyes isn't the issue.
Instead, the distinction lies in how those eyes are deployed. "You see, but you do not observe," Holmes tells his companion.
And Holmes?
"Now, I know there are seventeen steps," he continues, "because I have both seen and observed."
To both see and observe: Therein lies the secret.
When I first heard the words as a child, I sat up with recognition. Like Watson, I didn't have a clue.
Some 20 years later, I read the passage a second time in an attempt to decipher the psychology behind its impact.
I realised I was no better at observing than I had been at the tender age of 7.
Worse, even. With my constant companion Sir Smartphone and my newfound love of Lady Twitter, my devotion to Count Facebook, and that itch my fingers got whenever I hadn't checked my email for, what, 10 minutes already?
Okay, five - but it seemed a lifetime. Those Baker Street steps would always be a mystery.
The confluence of seeing and observing is central to the concept of mindfulness, a mental alertness that takes in the present moment to the fullest, that is able to concentrate on its immediate landscape and free itself of any distractions.
Mindfulness allows Holmes to observe those details that most of us don't even realize we don't see. It's not just the steps.
It's the facial expressions, the sartorial details, the seemingly irrelevant minutiae of the people he encounters.
It's the sizing up of the occupants of a house by looking at a single room.
It's the ability to distinguish the crucial from the merely incidental in any person, any scene, any situation.
And, as it turns out, all of these abilities aren't just the handy fictional work of Arthur Conan Doyle. They have some real science behind them.
After all, Holmes was born of Dr Joseph Bell, Conan Doyle's mentor at the University of Edinburgh, not some, well, more fictional inspiration. Bell was a scientist and physician with a sharp mind, a keen eye and a notable prowess at pinpointing both his patients' disease and their personal details.
Conan Doyle once wrote to him, "Round the centre of deduction and inference and observation which I have heard you inculcate, I have tried to build up a man who pushed the thing as far as it would go."
Over the past several decades, researchers have discovered that mindfulness can lead to improvements in physiological well-being and emotional regulation.
It can also strengthen connectivity in the brain, specifically in a network of the posterior cingulate cortex, the adjacent precuneus, and the medial prefrontal cortex that maintains activity when the brain is resting.
Mindfulness can even enhance our levels of wisdom, both in terms of dialectism (being cognizant of change and contradictions in the world) and intellectual humility (knowing your own limitations).
What's more, mindfulness can lead to improved problem solving, enhanced imagination, and better decision making.
It can even be a weapon against one of the most disturbing limitations that our attention is up against: inattentional blindness.
When inattentional blindness (sometimes referred to as attentional blindness) strikes, our focus on one particular element in a scene or situation or problem causes the other elements to literally disappear.
Images that hit our retina are not then processed by our brain but instead dissolve into the who-knows-where, so that we have no conscious experience of having ever been exposed to them to begin with.
The phenomenon was made famous by Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris: In their provocative study, students repeatedly failed to see a person in a gorilla suit who walked onto a basketball court midgame, pounded his chest, and walked off.
But the phenomenon actually dates to research conducted by Ulric Neisser, the father of cognitive psychology, in the 1960s and 1970s.
One evening, Neisser noticed that when he looked out the window at twilight, he had the ability to see either the twilight or the reflection of the room on the glass.
Focusing on the one made the other vanish. No matter what he did, he couldn't pay active attention to both.
He termed this phenomenon "selective looking" and went on to study its effects in study after study of competing attentional demands. Show a person two superimposed videos, and he fails to notice when card players suddenly stop their game, stand up and start shaking hands - or fails to realize that someone spoke to him in one ear while he's been listening to a conversation with the other. In a real-world illustration of the innate inability to split attention in any meaningful way, a road construction crew once paved over a dead deer in the road. They simply did not see it, so busy were they ensuring that their assignment was properly carried out.
Inattentional blindness, more than anything else, illustrates the limitations of our attentional abilities.
Try as we might, we can never see both twilight and reflection. We can't ever multitask the way we think we can. Each time we try, either the room or the world outside it will disappear from conscious processing.
That's why Holmes is so careful about where and when he deploys that famed keenness of observation.
Were he to spread himself too thin - imagine modern-day Holmes, be it Benedict Cumberbatch or Jonny Lee Miller, pulling out his cell to check his email as he walks down the street and has a conversation at the same time, something you'll never see either of these current incarnations actually doing - he'd be unable to deploy his observation as he otherwise would. Enter the email, exit the Baker Street steps - and then some.
It's not an easy task, that constant cognitive vigilance, the eternal awareness of our own limitations and the resulting strategic allocation of attention.
Even Holmes, I'm willing to bet, couldn't reach that level of mindfulness and deliberate thought all at once. It came with years of motivation and practice.
To think like Holmes, we have to both want to think like him and practice doing so over and over and over, even when the effort becomes exhausting and seems a pointless waste of energy. Mindfulness takes discipline.
Even after I discovered my propensity for sneaking over to email or Twitter when I wasn't quite sure what to write next, the discovery alone wasn't enough to curb my less-than-ideal work habits.
I thought it would be. And I tried, I really did.
But somehow, up that browser window popped, seemingly of its own volition. What, me? Attempt to multitask while writing my book? Never.
And so, I took the Odyssean approach: I tied myself to the mast to resist the sirens' call of the Internet. I downloaded Freedom, a program that blocked my access completely for a specified amount of time, and got to writing.
The results shocked me.
I was woefully bad at maintaining my concentration for large chunks of time.
Over and over, my fingers made their way to that habitual key-press combination that would switch the window from my manuscript to my online world - only to discover that that world was off-limits for another... how long is left?
Has it really been only 20 minutes?
Over time, the impulse became less frequent.
And what's more, I found that my writing - and my thinking, it bears note - was improving with every day of Internet-less interludes. I could think more fluidly. My brain worked more conscientiously.
In those breaks when, before, there would be a quick check of email or a surreptitious run to my Twitter feed, there would be a self-reflecting concentration that quickly rummaged through my brain attic. (You can't write about Holmes without mentioning his analogy for the human mind at least once.)
I came up with multiple ways of moving forward where before I would find myself stuck. Pieces that had taken hours to write suddenly were completed in a fraction of the time.
Until that concrete evidence of effectiveness, I had never quite believed that focused attention would make such a big difference. As much research as I'd read, as much science as I'd examined, it never quite hit home. It had taken Freedom, but I was finally taking Sherlock Holmes at his word. I was learning the benefits of both seeing and observing - and I was no longer trading in the one for the other without quite realizing what I was doing.
Self-binding software, of course, is not always an option to keep our brains mindfully on track.
Who is to stop us from checking our phone mid-dinner or having the TV on as background noise?
But here's what I learned.
Those little nudges to limit your own behavior have a more lasting effect, even in areas where you've never used them.
They make you realise just how limited your attention is in reality - and how often we wave our own limitations off with a disdainful motion.
Not only did that nagging software make me realise how desperately I was chained to my online self, but I began to notice how often my hand reached for my phone when I was walking down the street or sitting in the subway, how utterly unable I had become to just do what I was doing, be it walking or sitting or even reading a book, without trying to get in just a little bit more.
I did my best to resist.
Now, something that was once thoughtless habit became a guilt-inducing twinge. I would force myself to replace the phone without checking it, to take off my headphones and look around, to resist the urge to place a call just because I was walking to an appointment and had a few minutes of spare time.
It was hard. But it was worth it, if only for my enhanced perceptiveness, for the quickly growing pile of material that I wouldn't have even noticed before, for the tangible improvements in thought and clarity that came with every deferred impulse.
It's not for nothing that study after study has shown the benefits of nature on our thinking: Being surrounded by the natural world makes us more reflective, more creative, sharper in our cognition. But if we're too busy talking on the phone or sending a text, we won't even notice that we've walked by a tree.
If we follow Holmes' lead, if we take his admonition to not only see but also observe, and do so as a matter of course, we may not only find ourselves better able to rattle off the number of those proverbial steps in a second, but we may be surprised to discover that the benefits extend much further: We may even be happier as a result.
Even brief exercises in mindfulness, for as little as five minutes a day, have been shown to shift brain activity in the frontal lobes toward a pattern associated with positive and approach-oriented emotional states. And the mind-wandering, multitasking alternative? It may do more than make us less attentive. It may also make us less happy.
As Daniel Gilbert discovered after tracking thousands of participants in real time, a mind that is wandering away from the present moment is a mind that isn't happy.
He developed an iPhone app that would prompt subjects to answer questions on what they were currently doing and what they were thinking about at various points in the day.
In 46.9 per cent of samples Gilbert and his colleagues collected, people were not thinking about whatever it was they were doing - even if what they were doing was actually quite pleasant, like listening to music or playing a game. And their happiness?
The more their minds wandered, the less happy they were - regardless of the activity.
As Gilbert put it in a paper in Science, "The ability to think about what is not happening is a cognitive achievement that comes at an emotional cost."
Thinking like Sherlock Holmes isn't just a way to enhance your cognitive powers. It is also a way to derive greater happiness and satisfaction from life.

Leading Off: CAPC unveils Fall Forecast for Lyme disease
On October 4, Dr. Susan Little from Oklahoma State University and I will release the CAPC Fall Forecast to television and radio stations in a live satellite broadcast, as a part of our initiative to raise awareness of tick-borne illness and to drive pet owners into their clinics for parasite prevention.We are extremely excited to have Dr. Robert Lund of Clemson University and his team of statisticians help us build the CAPC Forecast. Dr. Lund has built predictive models for the past 20 years and was instrumental in developing the current weather forecasting models used to predict hurricanes in the United States.
Earlier this summer, the CAPC parasitologists brought in tick, climate, and infectious disease experts from around the country to determine the most important variables for our forecast. In short, there's a lot of data and fancy math that goes into our predictive model. But for pet owners across the country, the result should be as easy as watching the daily weather report.
According to CAPC parasitologists, fall is the most active time of the year for the adult Ixodes scapularis tick, which is known to transmit Lyme disease in endemic areas. Surprisingly, the adults of this tick are active from October through March in many areas, and it's the adult tick that poses the highest risk of Lyme disease infection to dogs. So it's critical to maintain tick prevention all year long, especially when fall and winter weather conditions are unexpectedly mild.
The risk of Lyme disease applies to humans as well. Public health officials and scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that people in areas with a higher-than-average number of dogs with Lyme disease are at greater risk of contracting the disease themselves. Researchers reached these conclusions by cross-referencing data contained within the CAPC maps with U.S. national surveillance data on the occurrence of Lyme disease in people and published these findings in a 2011 paper.1 This information tells us that dogs serve as sentinels for tick-borne disease.
Because we know veterinarians are a critical factor in the parasite prevention equation and the best source of information on local parasites, we remain committed to driving pet owners into their local veterinary clinics. That's why all of our consumer efforts are focused on awareness, education, and action.
Be sure to watch your local news, send your clients to http://petsandparasites.org/, and like us on Facebook for the latest predictions on Lyme disease across the country.

Concept 17 A gene is made of DNA.
Oswald Avery explains Fred Griffith's and his own work with Pneumococcus bacteria.
How do you do? I'm Oswald Avery. My colleagues and I did a series of experiments using strains of Pneumococcus bacteria, which cause pneumonia. Pneumococcus grows in the body of the host, but, like other types of bacteria, also can be grown on solid or liquid cultures. In 1928, Fred Griffith published a study on the different strains of Pneumococcus. Two in particular, S and R, look different. The S colonies have a smooth surface, and the R colonies look rough. The S colonies look smooth because each bacterium has a capsule-like coat made of sugars. This coat protects the S bacteria from the host's immune system, and so the S strain is infectious. The coat-less R strain is not. Griffith found that mice injected with the S strain develop pneumonia and die within days. Mice injected with the R strain do not get pneumonia. Griffith noticed that different strains of Pneumococcus could be cultured from one patient. He began to wonder if one strain could change into another. To test this idea, he did a series of experiments using the R and S strains. First, Griffith heated the S strain culture to kill the bacteria. As predicted, when injected into mice, the heat-killed bacteria did not produce an infection. Griffith co-injected the heat-killed S with live R into mice, and, much to his surprise, the mice developed pneumonia and died. Even more astonishing, Griffith was able to isolate live S strain from the blood of infected mice. These cultures could infect other mice. S strain cultured from infected mice remained active — showing that the change was stable and inherited. Griffith concluded that some "principle" was transferred from the heat-killed S to the R strain. The principle transformed the R into the infective S strain with a smooth coat. When I read about Griffith's results, I became very interested in the identity of this transforming "principle." Colin MacLeod, Maclyn McCarty, and I began experimenting using a test tube assay instead of mice. We used detergent to lyse the heat-killed S cells. Then we used this lysate for transformation assays. The test tube assays worked well, and showed us that the heat-killed S lysate could change R to S. The transforming principle was something in the lysate. We tested each of the lysate components for the transforming activity. First, we incubated the heat-killed S lysate with an enzyme, SIII, that completely chewed up the sugar coat. We tested the transforming ability of the sugar coat-less S lysates. The sugar coat-less S lysate was still able to transform. This told us that the R strain was not just assembling a new S sugar coat from the pieces. Next, we incubated the coat-less S extract with protein digesting enzymes — trypsin and chymotrypsin. Next, we incubated the coat-less S extract with protein digesting enzymes — trypsin and chymotrypsin. We tested this lysate's ability to transform. This protein-less lysate was still able to transform. So, the transforming principle is not protein. While we were testing and purifying the lysate, we precipitated nucleic acids — DNA and RNA — with alcohol. We were the first to isolate nucleic acids from Pneumococcus. While we were testing and purifying the lysate, we precipitated nucleic acids — DNA and RNA — with alcohol. We were the first to isolate nucleic acids from Pneumococcus. Since the transforming principle was not the sugar coat, and not protein, we suspected that it may be one of the nucleic acids. We dissolved the precipitate in water, and tested the transforming ability of the solution. Since the transforming prinicple was not the sugar coat, and not protein, we suspected that it may be one of the nucleic acids. We dissolved the precipitate in water, and tested the transforming ability of the solution. First, we destroyed the RNA using the RNase enzyme. We tested this solution for its ability to transform. The solution still had the ability to transform. Therefore, RNA could not be the transforming principle. What we had left was virtually pure DNA. As a final test, we incubated the solution with the DNA-digesting enzyme, DNase. We used this solution to test for transforming ability. This solution was unable to transform. My colleagues and I concluded that DNA is the transforming principle, and we published these results in 1944.
It's hard to imagine now the impact that Avery's experiments must have had. Until Avery's experiments, scientists weren't even sure that bacteria had genes.
Avery's experiments showed that DNA is the tranforming principle, but he didn't try to figure out how transformation works. How do you think transformation works?

a great multitasking productI love Benefit Hoola so I knew I would like the bronzer in this. The idea of having a bronzer alongside a highlighter is great because not only is it two products in one but you can use one to tone down the other if you go overboard and who HASN'T done that with bronzer?!? For the comment that states this isn't for pale skin, that could be true but I have yet to see a bronzer that DOES work for pe...read moreople with extremely pale skin. It's not a good match but not at the fault of the bronzer....opt for a highlighter/blush combo instead if you are super pale and need a nice glow. I have fair skin (though I do spray tan frequently) and these colors look awesome. The only reason that I am not giving it ten stars is because I am not huge on the box design as I find it difficult to get the last bit out when I am running low.

Another Disney Masterpiece,
|reviewer: Joe from Marlboro NY
|This is yet another Disney broadway hit for years to come. The orchestra first and foremost was outstanding ! The previous review pretty much slammed the show. You need to review what is presented not what you hope for. Ursula the sea witch in my mind stole the show. I honestly at times felt like i was watching the movie. Ariel's voice was powerful and Sebastian the crab was a fun loving character.. The seagulls do a great tap dance skit and the sets looked amazing. I will highly recommend this play. I have seen The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast multiple times each. This play is better than those 2. I am telling you to get your tickets for this show now because it will be a tough ticket to get in the very near future. Our seats were front row Mezzanine which were outstanding and I would recommend you bring anyone you like because it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. 46th st is a great location because there are plenty of good restaurants nearby ! 5 Stars

Beautiful Production,
|reviewer: Kathy from Omaha NE
|My daughter fell in love with the movie Little Mermaid so when we took her to the Broadway production for her 21st birthday on Jan 4 it didn't disappoint - beautiful stage production, excellent cast - Sierra not only has a wonderful voice, but she was totally in character - hard to believe that she wasn't the "Movie" Ariel. And Sean Palmer was every bit the Prince - strong and solid voice also. "Under the Sea" was magical - compliments to Sebastian. Thank you Disney - Bravo!! You've done it again.

|The Little Mermaid has been my all-time favorite movie since I was a little girl. I was a bit nervous to see the stage production - how were they possibly going to portray sea life??But it was PERFECTLY adapted to the stage. The costumes were excellent, the stage set up was amazing, and I can't possibly say enough about the actors and their voices. Ariel - dead on. I cried a handful of times, brought back so many memories.

I'm almost certain that unless we get a mind blowing trade offer, both Lance and Danny will be Pacers next year.
Once a player becomes a free agent, they are free to re-sign with their own team for 5 years. Remember, George Hill has a 5 year deal, and that didn't restrict the Pacers from extending Paul George for 5 years.
That's almost impossible with the salary we have to spend. Even if Larry finds a way to move out Copeland and or Ian we can't afford both. If either player goes for more then 8 mil then we're either going over the LT or they're gone. I really just want us to stick it out until the end and let the chips fall where they may, we're all in.
If Granger can't stay on the court because he's fighting injuries not related to his knee, I could see us keeping him with a 1-year, 3-4 milion dollar contract if he doesn't have much FA interest.
Time for a new sig.
Barring any trades....the Pacers 2014-2015 salary will be between $67 to ( more than likely ) 69 mil in owed guaranteed $$$ ( once PG24s extension kicks in ). That means that the Pacers will have about $6 to 8 mil to spend before going over the projected LT of $75.7 mil. Unless both take a significant pay cut....it is very unlikely that BOTH will be in a Pacer uniform next season. Lance or Granger....yes...both? unlikely.
EDIT - or what Pacerized said
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I'm super proud of Lance. It has been a pleasure to watch him grow into the young man he has become. I hope he is signed long term to a fair contract for both sides.
"The greatest thing you know Comes not from above but below" Danzig
I'm almost certain that you are 100% wrong.
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Look at what Demar Derorzan got for his extension last year and it will make you not want to think of this until AFTER the season
I think the Pacers will start the convo with Lance right where G. Hill is paid, I think it will probably take a little more, but I think the P's will start there.
I'm hoping we can keep Lance at a contract closer to Hill's, but if I'm his agent I'm going to bring up Tyreke's deal too.
Ugh. Could be an expensive summer.
It's actually REALLY possible we go into next year without Lance OR Danny.
Every NBA player wants a max contract.
But yeah, terrible title to the article. I'm not sure why max was even brought up in the article either.
Wing guys typically end up finding their level, I have no doubt Lance will be back and at a reasonable price.
Okay there is no way Lance is getting the max...absolutely no way. That topic should not even be discussed because it's not happening....if Lace or his agent were stern on the max, they can be shown the front door...plain and simple.
Lance isn't worth more than the MLE in my opinion. Yes he's having a great 5 games, but let's see people's opinions during Jan. Heck, if it took 5 games, I could have had a chance at the Pacers roster.
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
A lot of people on this board seem to think Lance is gonna sign for around 6 or possible up to 8 million. Can anyone explain why you think that?
Lance scores in the paint and (for now at least) makes three at a high rate. He also plays nice perimeter defense, rebounds and passes. These are all skills valued by analytics. Plus he's get room to grow. Why wouldn't a team with cap space offer him a big deal that's front loaded so the Pacers can't match?
You think Lance will command more than 8mil? Sheesh that's a steep price to pay.
i haven't read any of the responses. however, i think lance will be back. he knows he will get a fair deal here with a group of good players to play with. he has a great chance to win a title and have great success here.
so i am not going to worry myself over these things. that is for bird to do.
Because as of now he's only done this for 4 games this year (didn't play relatively well or poorly in game 5)
Now if he keeps this up all year, then yeah he may command more than 6 mil...but till we see that, I think MLE- 6 mil is a reasonable price.
Unless they plan to ship out some major payroll or going over the LT I don't know how they can have that conversation. We may be at 70 mil next with 3 players yet to sign to hit the minimum roster of 13. That would leave us around 3 mil under the LT. Even if we ship out 2 players to free up payroll we still have to bring 2 back in to fill the roster. Freeing up 8 mil will be next to impossible unless we want to get rid of a high paid core player just to keep Lance and I don't want to do that.
In the end I think we have a hope of keeping either Lance or Danny but if we keep one it will be the one that's more affordable. I used to think it would be Lance signing for MLE money or less, now I have no idea.
Between six and eight is my preferred price range also but it's not what we think is reasonable, it's what the market decides. Do you really think the market is gonna max out at six?
I agree he probably can't keep up 17 ppg and 50% from three but 15 ppg and mid forties from three is plausible. There's a lot of guys making a lot of money with way worse stats than that.
Lance is an unrestricted free agent, so there's no matching. If Lance gives us the opportunity to match based on another team's offer, we would be able to structure it so he fits under our limitations.
I've compiled a list of similar guards on non-rookie contracts making ~8MIL and down that were better than or at least comparable to Lance when they signed their contracts.
Lance's torrid start this season actually compares very well with better rebounding versions of OJ Mayo, Rodney Stuckey(when he signed hs contract), Kevin Martin, Jarret Jack, and Jamaal Crawford. The others are a bit farther off, but basically everybody on this list produces at the same general level. Many don't have the facilitating skills ofc.
The trend seems to be that the guys on their first contract out of their rookie year tend to be getting paid more at the higher end. However, most of the guys that have important roles on contending teams tend to be making less. I would think a good middle ground would be for Lance to pick up a contract that gets him about 7.5 per year average, which would have him starting around 6.5 or 7 on normal increasing contracts. That's assuming he keeps up his production.
The other thing they could do is give him a 7.5% raise-per-year 5 year contract that would become a "more than he's worth now" cap hit in years 4 and 5 when West and Hibbert's player options are up. I don't think Hibbert will make more than he makes in that final year in his next contract (whether he stays or goes) and West will be 37 by then lol.
Time for a new sig.

Man...I did not realize...but Tyreke is overpaid IMHO.....he's owed $11+ mil a year for the next 4 seasons.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
The difference between Lance and everyone else on that list is that he shoots, defends, rebounds, passes, has size and can dribble. The guys on your list all have holes in their game that keeps them from getting to that next level of 10-12 million. I'm not so bullish that Lance is at that level and I think he's closer to his peak now than people on this board want to admit. But if you're a GM who sees Lance as a second tier star who can be stolen away without going through restricted free agency, why wouldn't you make a big offer?
