Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and safety of the antiviral drug ganciclovir (DHPG) given intravenously to treat newborn infants who are born infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV is a herpes virus that can infect most organs of the body, resulting in death in 10-30% of babies with symptoms of CMV. It can cause severe brain damage in a large percentage of surviving babies. Children in this study have a CMV infection of the central nervous system (CNS).

'The East': Watch Two Alternate Endings
The eco-thriller "The East," starring Brit Marling and Alexander Skarsgard, will be released on Blu-ray/DVD on Sept. 17. Speakeasy has an exclusive sneak peek at two deleted scenes featured on the disc.
In the film, directed by Zal Batmanglij, Marling plays Sarah, an operative for a private firm who infiltrates an anarchist collective that targets corporate executives to exact revenge for previous acts. Skarsgard plays Benji, the leader of the collective known as The East. But as Sarah burrows deep as an apparent member of the group, she begins to question her own beliefs and which side she really supports.
Watch the alternate endings to "The East" after the jump.

More Resources for Managing Your Process Analyzer Systems
More Resources for Managing Your Process Analyzer Systems
by Gary D. Nichols, P. E.
As we bring this series of articles on lifetime costs and reliability of process analyzer systems to a close, we should spend time discussing additional sources of information. For better or worse, these sources are few. This is partially because the process analyzer community is relatively small, and partially because the area of process analyzer systems is specialized in comparison to, say, chemical engineering kinetics and reactor design, heat exchangers and process safety.
Some of the references cited are out of print, but it may be worth the effort to seek them out from used book sellers when possible.
Undoubtedly, there are other excellent texts, monographs, recommended practices and standards that specifically address on-line process analyzer systems; the author did not intentionally neglect nor minimize the value of any information sources or authors. The reader is further encouraged to find, use and share other sources with other analyzer system technicians and engineers. Not only are texts and monographs important, but the reader is highly encouraged to explore CII/PIP, ISA, IEC, API, ASTM, NFPA, other organizations that produce standards and recommended practices, and site and corporate standards and recommended practices.
API Recommended Practice 555 Process Analyzers, 2nd ed., 2001 (ANSI/API RP 555-2001) – This outstanding recommended practice, available by direct purchase or online subscription, is a combination of an analytical methods text and how-to practice. It is generous with text descriptions of chemical and physical analytical methods and calculations and illustrations of how to achieve workable process analyzer systems designs.
ASTM D3764-06 – Validation of the Performance of Process Stream Analyzer System. An excellent procedural and statistical description of how to validate analyzer systems. Glossary of terms is also included. Even when this ASTM procedure is not required, it is easily adaptable to demonstrate whether an analyzer system is performing as intended. Also lists related ASTM standards.
Carr-Brion, K. G. and J. R. P. Clarke. Sampling Systems for Process Analyzers, 2nd ed., Butterworth-Heineman, Oxford, U.K, 1996, 387+ pp., ISBN 0-7506-1247-9. This overview of gaseous, liquid, solid and heterogeneous sampling for online process analyzer systems is a valuable addition to any process analyzer system library. The authors make liberal use of diagrams and checklists to aid the user with analyzer applications. Separate chapters on safety, maintenance and project management are included. The chapters on solids and heterogeneous sampling are tedious at times, but reflect the U.K. origin of the book and the local needs. A detailed glossary of terms and symbols is also given.
CII/PIP – These are the Construction Industry Institute (CII) Process Industry Practices (PIP) for control systems (PIPs also exist for other engineering disciplines). They are available only by subscription or at individual cost from CII, affiliated with the University of Texas. Subject matter includes design and application of combustible and toxic gas detection systems, process analyzer systems, process analyzer field installation, process analyzer shelters, process analyzer bid proposals, process analyzer documentation requirements and testing process analyzer systems. Data sheets and text standards are provided, including instructions for completing the data sheets. The data sheets are downloadable to online subscribers, but the data sheets are limited as to their editability to adapt to specific corporate or application needs. Some subscribers supplement the PIPs documents with in-house addenda, instructions and standards
Clevett, Kenneth J. Process Analyzer Technology, John Wiley and Sons, New York, USA, 1986, 952 pp., ISBN 0-471-88316-6. Clevett's book has long been the standard for process analyzer information. There are chapters on most process analytical methods, plus chapters on combustion efficiency, data systems, sample conditioning system design, process analyzer system installations, calibration and correlation, maintenance and analyzers in control systems. Unfortunately, the book is out of print and includes much information on analyzers that are obsolete. Despite the disadvantages, Clevett's introductory explanations of the analytical methods are valuable to any process analyzer system technologist.
Houser, E. A. Principles of Sample Handling and Sample Systems Design for Process Analysis, Instrument Society of America, Research Triangle Park, N.C., USA, 1972, 108 pp. ISBN 87664-189-3. The owner of this now out-of-print book is the holder of a valuable historical reference in the field of process analyzer sample conditioning systems. Some of the information is dated and brought up to date in later sources (e.g. API RP555).
Huskins, D. J. Quality Measuring Instruments in On-Line Process Analysis, Ellis Horwood, Ltd., Chichester, West Sussex, UK, 1982, 455 pp., ISBN 0-85312-320-9. This book concentrates on refinery-type physical property analyzers by brand/model-specific applications. The basic operating principles of each type of analyzer are explained in detail. Except for oxygen analyzers, the book lacks depth in chromatographic and photometric analytical methods. Nonetheless, it is a valuable contribution to refinery analyzer libraries.
ISA RP76.0.01-1998 – Analyzer System Inspection and Acceptance. This recommended practice from ISA shows what buyers, specifying engineers, designers and end users should look for when inspecting packaged process analyzer systems, including those in shelters, for acceptance for delivery to intermediate suppliers or to the end user. Though most analyzer system vendors have developed their own checklists, this recommended practice provides guidance about what to expect once arriving at the vendor for an inspection.

ind receives:
steph curry
david lee
gsw receives:
danny granger
tyler hansbrough
curious as to what you guys think. i think the pacers might have to add a protected 1st to this proposal to get the warriors to bite but i think it's relatively fair for both sides. curry plays too similar of a position as ellis and from what i've heard/seen, he doesn't seem untouchable. curry needs to get better at creating for himself and others, but that stroke of his is a pure as it gets. a curry/collison combo would indeed be very undersized, which is a concern, but it would also allow george or rush to slide over to the sf position.
tyler can certainly develop into a david lee but that is not guaranteed, and lee is only 2 years older. lee isn't exactly the defensive presence we are looking for at pf but he's a legitimate starting caliber 4 signed long-term at a very good deal. i think this trade would fill every starting position on our roster for the long haul and allow us to draft bpa, or even give us more trade options with collison being expendable if curry can develop at the one. either way, i like this for the simple fact that curry is young and a much better creator than granger with a better stroke:
pg- collison
sg- curry
sf- george/rush
pf- lee
c- hibbert

ALVIN, Texas - A 13-year-old was shot to death in what may be an accident, investigators said.
Alvin police said the teen suffered a gunshot wound to his head inside a home in the 4700 block of Heathrow about 5:50 p.m. Wednesday.
The teen was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he died. His name has not been released.
Investigators said the teen lived with his grandparents, who had custody of him. Another juvenile was present at the time of the shooting and told officers that the teen had been playing with the gun, police said.
Detectives said they believe the teen was holding the gun when it discharged.
The case is suspected to be a tragic accident, but police are still investigating. The Brazoria County District Attorney's Office will determine if any charges will be filed.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- After making plenty of noise as a low seed in the NCAA tournament each of the last two years, VCU is a No. 5 seed in the South Regional this time and opens Thursday against No. 12 seed Akron.
VCU (26-8) went from the First Four to the Final Four in 2011 and beat Wichita State as a No. 12 seed last year. The Rams earned an at-large bid this season after falling 62-56 to Saint Louis in the Atlantic 10 tournament championship game.
Akron (26-6) beat Ohio, 62-46 in the Mid-American Conference tournament championship game Saturday to earn an NCAA bid for the second time in three years. The MAC made an impact in last year's tournament; Ohio won the league's automatic bid and reached the round of 16.

Gardenhire: 2015 managerial plans still not discussed
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire downplayed a report in the Minneapolis Star Tribune that stated he'll return to manage the club in 2015.
Gardenhire, who is under contract through next season, said he hasn't officially discussed his future with Twins general manager Terry Ryan and won't until after the season.
"I don't pay attention to it," Gardenhire said. "I don't worry about it. I talk to Terry Ryan about it. We'll talk at the end of the year as always. Nothing has been talked about. I worry about that stuff when the season is over with."
Ryan told the newspaper that he expects Gardenhire to return and didn't retract his statement on Friday, but said that nothing has been determined yet.
"There are things need to be discussed and we'll do it at the end of the year like last year," Ryan said. "We still have things to sit down and discuss and make sure he's happy with me and I'm happy with him. There's a lot of season to play here. Let's see how things go. There's no guarantees for anybody's job, including mine."
The Twins entered Friday's game against the Tigers with a 56-70 record and are on pace for their fourth straight season with at least 90 losses.
Gardenhire, who has been managing the club since 2002, is the second-longest tenured manager in the Majors, behind Angels skipper Mike Scioscia. He reached win No. 1,000 earlier this season, joining Tom Kelly as one of only two managers to accomplish the feat with the Twins.

text: Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton have ruled the Las Vegas Strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt's growing ego. But lately the duo's greatest deception is their public friendship, as they've secretly grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray, whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show is starting to look stale. But there's still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act, both onstage and off, if only Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.

PHILADELPHIA -- While his teammates showered and got dressed, Warriors guard Jarrett Jack sat at his locker, still. His chin rested in his palm as he stared blankly at the carpet. Occasionally, he'd drag both hands down his face, as if trying to wipe off the Warriors' 104-97 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Then he'd let out a sigh and go back to staring, chin resting in his palm.
This is what a funk looks like.
Golden State squandered a 16-point lead Saturday, their largest blown-lead of the season, and lost a winnable game to struggling Philadelphia. The Warriors have now lost four straight and 10 of their last 13, and they headed home from a five-game trip with one ugly win to show for it.
They are now six games over .500 for the first time since they were 13-7. Once eying the No. 4 seed, they are just a game ahead of No. 8 Houston. And the most concerning part? They don't seem to know how to turn it around.
"I don't necessarily know what it is," Jack said after missing 10 of his 13 shots and committing four turnovers. "I just know we haven't been able to put together a 48-minute game for a while now. That's the thing we've been hanging our hat on early. If we want to get back to the winning side of things, that's what we've got to do."
The three previous losses on the trip were respectable. There was no shame in losing at Indiana, one of the best teams in the East. And the New York loss was acceptable considering the Warriors had to play without suspended All-Star forward David Lee. Even without point guard Rajon Rondo, Boston is formidable at home, and the Celtics are in a fight for postseason positioning.
But the Sixers? They were struggling, having lost eight of their last nine. They were about a .500 team at home and down to their third-string shooting guard with Jason Richardson (knee surgery) and Nick Young (ankle sprain) out of the lineup.
Against Golden State, however, Philadelphia looked like a force to be reckoned with.
The Sixers came into the game averaging 91.8 points on 43.9 percent shooting. Saturday, they dropped 104 points on 51.8 percent shooting.
"We got away from who we are," coach Mark Jackson said. "We were careless. We turned the basketball over. We didn't defend at the same level. They scored 31 in the second quarter and 31 in the third quarter. They got it going after we were up 45-31. We made mistakes, let go of the rope, and we paid the price because any team in this league, when you don't put them away and allow them to gain some life, you're dealing with a different animal."
The game was tied at 94 after Klay Thompson set up Lee for a dunk at the 3:40 mark of the fourth quarter. From that point on, Philadelphia made every play.
Evan Turner slipped a pass to Thaddeus Young for a dunk to put the Sixers up. The Warriors followed with a missed jumper by Jack and a bricked 3-pointer by Stephen Curry.
Turner splashed home a turnaround jumper to put Philadelphia up four.
Golden State, needing a bucket, went to Lee. But his turnaround bank shot rimmed out. At the 2:03 mark, Turner drilled a step-back jumper to put the Warriors down 100-94.
Thompson kept the Warriors within reach with a 3-pointer, his career-high seventh, to cut the deficit to three. Golden State followed with back-to-back stops, but they only resulted in a missed Jack jumper and a Curry turnover.
Sixers point guard Jrue Holiday iced the game with a pull-up jumper, two of his 27 points. He added another layup for good measure.
"We just couldn't get any stops," Curry said after 30 points, eight assists, three steals and four turnovers. "In the fourth quarter, they probably scored six straight possessions ... The crowd gets back into it, all sorts of momentum comes their way. You feel like you're climbing up hill a little bit. It's only a two or four-point game, but every time they score it just deflates you a little bit."
So how can the Warriors reinflate? That's an answer they've been grappling with for weeks. Perhaps the remedy comes with the seven-game homestand that begins Monday.
The Warriors get 16 of their last 22 at home, and they've been trying to hang on to get to that favorable part of the schedule. But what was once a luxury is now a necessity. Perhaps the Warriors' last hope is that home will turn things around.
"(Home) could be the cure," Jack said. "Regardless of where we're playing, nobody is going to allow us to walk into a victory. We've got to go out there and take it. That's not going to change unless we decide to change it."
* Jack finished the trip 20 of 66 from the field (30.3 percent) with 15 turnovers. And after getting eight assists in the win at Minnesota, Jack totaled eight assists over the last four games.
"The past few games, I just haven't been able to get it going for whatever reason," Jack said. "The only way to get out of it is to shoot your way out of it and stay aggressive. That's what I'm trying to do. ... You know what you're capable of and you know the contributions you've been able to give the team. To have a bump in the road like this, it's just frustrating.

Moms aren't always right when it comes to the grocery store, according to a new survey of more than 1,000 mothers. Instead, the survey found that moms are often misinformed, especially when buying "all-natural" and "hormone-free" products.
Among the misconceptions, the survey found that many moms:
- Are willing to spend more for hormone-free poultry and pork: More than half of moms agree that it's important to feed their families hormone-free poultry and pork. However, the USDA prohibits farmers from using hormones to raise these species.
- Reach for "all natural" products: Fifty-three percent of moms surveyed find that it's important to purchase food labeled "all-natural." An "all natural" label does not include standards regarding farm practices and only applies to processing of meat and egg products. It doesn't connote nutritional benefits. Consumer Reports covered the issue in 2008, suggesting that not all natural ingredients are benign.
- Think that family farms are dying: Seven out of 10 moms in the survey think that family farms are dying. Seventy percent also believe that farmers should be a key resource for those seeking information related to food and/or farming, but four out of five moms don't seek information from farmers. Between 96 and 98 percent of the 2.2 million farms across the country are family farms. For more information, see the USDA's Family Farms Overview.
- Incorrectly defined organic production: Eighty-four percent think that the organic food is farmed without the use of any pesticides, fertilizers or herbicides. Half of the moms believe that organic is nutritionally better than non-organic foods. American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) points that "current evidence does not support any meaningful nutritional benefits or deficits from eating organic compared with conventionally grown foods, and there are not well-powered human studies that directly demonstrate health benefits or disease protection as a result of consuming an organic diet." The AAP released similar findings in 2012 in a report suggesting that organic milk may have no significant health advantages over conventional milk.
- Fear GMOs: Three-quarters of the moms surveyed questioned the safety of GMO foods, while nearly half of the survey participants consider GMOS foods has nutritionally and chemically different than non-GMO food. Modern biotech crops have been commercially grown for more than 12 years, and there has not been a single documented case of an ecosystem disrupted or a person made ill. Most noticeably, earlier this year one of the founders of the anti-GMO movement announced that he was wrong about GMOs. See, "'I was wrong about GMOs,' environmentalist tells UK conference."
- Believe that local is better: More than half of the moms say locally-produced foods are always better for the environment. In some situations can take more energy to grow and harvest local food than it does it grow it far away and have it shipped. The U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance offers advice for when buying local is and is not the best choice. Read more.
Click here to read the survey.
The "Gate-to-Plate" survey was commissioned by CommonGround, a grassroots coalition of women farmers who want to foster conversations among women in both farms and cities about where food comes from and how it is raised.
While the survey results may or may not be surprising to most farmers and ranchers, it can also provide conversation starters for producers ready to reach out of shoppers. In a recent blog post, farm wife and agriculture advocate Katie Olthoff looked at ways to conquer this misinformation. Read the blog.

Active Comparator: sensitized group
One arm will be a sensitized group which would have received cancer health awareness sessions and / or screening earlier at least once in the past.
Behavioral: Health education
Health education about HPV infection, HPV vaccine and cervix cancer.
No Intervention: non-sensitized group
The second arm will belong to an area which has never been exposed to any form of cancer awareness or screening activities thus this group is a completely non-sensitized group.
Behavioral: Health education
Health education about HPV infection, HPV vaccine and cervix cancer.
Detailed Description:
The eligible participant will be chosen by door-door household visit. Each participant will be given information regarding the study and written informed consent will be obtained from them. Their participation will be entirely voluntary and no pressure or coercion will be used. Our team will help them with questions that are not well understood by them or are ambiguous for them. The questionnaire is in 2 sections. Section one will try and ascertain the mother's Knowledge, Attitude and Perception regarding cervix cancer, HPV infection and HPV Vaccination.
Section 1 will be interviewed for a period of 5-10 minutes followed by an information sheet providing details on HPV infection, its association with cervix cancer and HPV Vaccination against cervix cancer. The information sheet available will be explained to them for a period of 10-15 minutes. Our social workers will be available at all times to allay their misinterpretations. This will be followed by section 2 which will be a post intervention questionnaire comprising of questions regarding their attitude towards HPV vaccination and identifying barriers and motivators for these women towards vaccination.
The post-intervention questionnaire would be interviewed for a period of 10-15 minutes, thus a total of 25-40 minutes will be made available to every participant for the entire session. The team is expected to cover 15 women per day totaling to 300 women per month considering the monthly holidays and time lost in certain administrative issues.
Patients will be recruited for 4 months which will be followed by data entry, data analysis, formulation of results and write -up. Thus the entire study will last for eight months. The questionnaire consists of mostly close ended questions with options in the form of yes/no/do not know. Some questions which require definitive answers have been provided with plausible options. Some questions have been left open ended so as to avoid ambiguity. The questionnaire is simple, in continuity and is translated into Hindi and Marathi languages so as to meet the needs of the local population.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
All married women bearing daughters of the age group 10-18 years and are conversant in either Marathi, Hindi or English will be included in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:

SuperTurtle Saves the Day!Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
--- Posted by the SuperTurtle Fan Club at 9:24 P.M. on 4-27-10 in NYC, NY ---
Our favorite superhero (SuperTurtle) did a great job as a superhero today. Here is what happened ---
- 9:14 A.M.- SuperTurtle saved 48 out of 48 people in the plane crash this morning.
- 12:38 P.M.- SuperTurtle was able to save 2945 people out of 2947 people when the giant robot attacked 59th street.
- 7:09 P.M.- SuperTurtle was able to save 548 out of 549 people when a "monster" attacked.
So, SuperTurtle did a pretty good job in NYC today. You could take the time to find out how many people he DID save today. My question for you is, however, how many people did he NOT save today?
Hint"not save"?
And the answer is not 3, for you who think it is. Remember, this IS in the trick category...
AnswerTechnically, he did not save around 6 billion people.
He did have the chance to save 4,137 people. The other 6 billion or so people in the world were not "saved" by SuperTurtle that day. They didn't need saving (except for the 3 who died today).
To find the exact answer, you would take the world's population - 4,137 people he did save.
What Next?

Floods reaching five feet above the current high tide line will become increasingly common along the nation's coastlines well before the seas climb by five feet. Over the last century, the nearly eight-inch rise of the world's seas has already doubled the chance of "once in a century" floods for many seaside communities.
We hope that with enough time, most of our great coastal cities and regions will be able to prepare for a five-foot increase. Some will not. Barriers that might work in Manhattan would be futile in South Florida, where water would pass underneath them by pushing through porous bedrock.
According to Dr. Schaeffer's study, immediate and extreme pollution cuts — measures well beyond any discussion now under way — could limit sea level rise to five feet over 300 years. If we stay on our current path, the oceans could rise five feet by the first half of next century, then continue rising even faster. If instead we make moderate shifts in energy and industry — using the kinds of targets that nations have contemplated in international talks but have failed to pursue — sea level could still climb past 12 feet just after 2300. It is hard to imagine what measures might allow many of our great coastal cities to survive a 12-foot increase…
There are two basic ways to protect ourselves from sea level rise: reduce it by cutting pollution, or prepare for it by defense and retreat. To do the job, we must do both. We have lost our chance for complete prevention; and preparation alone, without slowing emissions, would — sooner or later — turn our coastal cities into so many Atlantises.

Dallas -- Blockbuster has received an extension to Feb. 4 to file its restructuring plan in order to emerge from bankruptcy protection, according to a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The retailer filed for Chapter 11 protection in September.
Blockbuster, which must also find a new CEO, hopes to use the bankruptcy process to reduce its debt from nearly $1 billion to about $100 million. The company also has begun talks with its bondholders for an additional $200 million to $250 million for use after it leaves bankruptcy protection, according to The Wall Street Journal.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
Open the link and you will see that the numerator is points while the denominator is FGA. As we all know both 2 point and 3 point shots count as 1 FGA but 3 point shots score more points than 2 point shots. Therefore, the distinction is there.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
I suspect that nobody (including JOB himself) ever thought that he was hired to win much of anything, let alone a championship. I even agree with the fact that JOB and SVG ran offenses that were different, though ultimately both reached the outcome of being more 3-centric than most of the league based upon the ultimate belief that an increased number of 3's would likely lead to a more favorable outcome.
I simply was illustrating from my own admittedly confirmationally biased viewpoint in the presence of what now is a generally held belief that poor Pacers performances and losses occurred with more frequency than they otherwise likely would have in the absence of the application of whatever strategy led to our "chuck 'n suck" results.
As for SVG, despite having Dwight Howard, he chose not to focus on feeding Howard enough even during playoff time. It was so blatant that Howard often complained to the media about not getting enough touches and ultimately led him to basically quit playing to win for SVG at the end of SVG's Orlando gig, with the most glaring example of it probably being the final game of the playoffs that preceded his dismissal. Yes, Howard was a Prima donna, but that is another issue entirely.
Obviously JOB's strategy could make bad teams mediocre, as long as they hit their shots. In the Pacers case, I believe that his strategy made the Pacers mediocre team bad.
Regarding TS% being a justification for more 3 pointers, in my opinion it does the opposite, but I doubt that JOB and SVG would agree with either you or me. I don't have the time or inclination to look into and come up with a dataset and resulting metric which would support this assertion, it simply fits what I believe to be a valid conclusion based upon my confirmation bias (or my confirmed double as*es for those who disagree).
I'm finding this to be useful:
For my tastes, I would prefer not to call it a percentage, since it isn't a percentage. And adjusting them to seem MORE like FG% is counter-productive, I think. I'd forgotten about this.True Shooting Percentage
By convention, the shooting efficiency lever I described above is expressed as "true shooting percentage." To be honest, I really dislike this term. I will explain why below. First, let's present the formula for true shooting percentage (TS%) that is NCAA appropriate
TS% = 0.5 x points/(FGA + 0.475 x FTA)
Essentially, true shooting percentage is the points scored per shooting opportunity divided by two. The number is divided for two so that it looks like a shooting percentage. Typically many teams and players will have TS% between about 0.5 and 0.6, so the scale is similar to what it common for more traditional field goal percentages. The problem with true shooting percentage is semantic -- it isn't actually a percentage. For example, TS% can be greater than 1. It can be as high as 1.5. The 0.5 prefactor seems kind of pointless, other than the effort to make this look like a field goal percentage.
Vogel tracks even smaller things, that the eye should be able to see that isn't a normal statistic, like deflections. They track number of deflections and then put it in a per minute basis. He then posts it in their video room on a pretty big white board, which the entire team can see from their seats.
This summer we got to tour the facilities, and it was still up there from the playoffs. Why would he need stats to tell him which players are good at deflections, shouldn't he just know which ones seem to keep getting them and just use his eyes?
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
Okay, maybe I was just over-thinking it. TS (I'm going to stop including % because that now annoys me and confuses the issue of what the stat really is) is ultimately points per shot while also including FTAs. The artificial .44 or .475 in some cases that gets thrown in doesn't sit well with me, now that I recall its inclusion, too.
Bottom line is that statistics are a way for multiple people to watch different aspects of the game and describe what they saw in a well-defined way. Putting together statistics to form a picture is no different than putting together observations to form a picture - it's just that studies show over and over again that observations without a specific criterion for "yes" or "no" become flawed very quickly.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
No stat replaces what you can see with your own eyes but it can come in handy to help explain what you've seen over the course of 5, 10, 82 games.
Sight and the human mind are wonderful tools but it's easy to forget what we've seen especially when we've seen so many plays over a period of time. Also, we have favorite players and biases. We might overlook mistakes or poor shooting of one player while when another misses a shot, it drives us to the brink of insanity. That's where the stats come in handy to see if what we think about a player's shooting ability aligns with the facts.

That 0.5 is NOT a useless number intended to make it look like a percent. It's actually there to give 3 pointers more credit for each one made and free throws less credit. It's what accounts for the 3 pointers being worth 1.5 times the amount as 2 pointers. The free throw weight is further adjusted in the denominator for and-1's.
0.5 * points === ( 2*(2PT FGM) + 3*(3PT FGM) + 1*(FTM) ) / 2 === (2PT FGM) + 1.5(3PT FGM) + 0.5(FTM)
It's weighted according to their point values: 2 pointers are considered to be worth one 2 pointer made, 3 pointers are considered to be worth 1.5 two pointers, and free throws are worth half of a two pointer.

Like all individual statistics they aren't there to define the best strategy, they are there to compare players who have similar roles. Comparing a PG to a C isn't a fair comparison for either player, and improper use of statistics. Comparing a sharp shooter to the number one option is not a fair comparison.
How many 3's you take is meaningless. What isn't meaningless is how many 3's you make. If you are making them, then shooting 3s is a good strategy. If you are missing them shooting 3s is a bad strategy. The mark of a good team isn't how many 3's they take, it is about their ability to adjust how they play when their threes are not going in. Live by the 3 or die by the three is a terrible strategy. What isn't a terrible strategy is live by the 3 or adjust.
Okay, then that's like the third different equation I've seen for TS. So which is it?
I didn't change anything, I just provided an alternate way of looking at the equation. They are absolutely equivalent. The whole equations is really just:
(Weighted FGM) / (Weighted FGA), no matter what variables are used to get it.

Not a lot of math majors on PD! Lol
The anti stat crew reminds me of the old baseball scout in Moneyball. "Yeah but his girlfriend is a dog, means he has no confidence." You guys must have hated that movie. Math!!! Run Away!!!!!!!!!
0.5 * points === ( 2*(2PT FGM) + 3*(3PT FGM) + 1*(FTM) ) / 2 === (2PT FGM) + 1.5(3PT FGM) + 0.5(FTM)
I have no idea why BBall would undervalue it.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
You tell me which guy gets the girl (wins games). The one who reads 20 books on dating and analyzes every possibility . . . or the guy who looks over the situation and uses his gut instincts?
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Jmo, but stats are used out of context all the time here. Most people use stats to 'prove' a point they already intuit true. In other words, they take a position and then use stats to back up their point. That seems backwards to me. Stats seem best used when the stat is used to identify guys that might make the team better because of their play. In this example, if a team had a guy with a good TS%, they should look at giving him more minutes. Or one of the ways the Pacers use stats to take away shots on defense that would generate a good TS%. Protect the front of the rim, protect the paint, protect the 3 pt line and don't foul.

Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 20, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein
Hydrolyzed yeast protein may also be called yeast extracts. This is a common name for many processed yeast products that are used for as flavorings and as food additives to improve the overall taste and flavor in certain food recipes and dishes. In personal care products, hydrolyzed yeast proteins are used in antistatic and hair conditioning products.
The many uses of hydrolyzed yeast proteins are due to the many properties that this type of yeast protein has. It is important in many industries since it is all natural and may not cause any side effects at all when it is used on a more regular basis.
History and Origin
Hydrolyzed yeast proteins are obtained from the acidic, alkaline or the hydrolysis of amino acids, peptides and proteins to yield this important ingredient. However, this form is further processed to remove impurities such as carbohydrates and lipids. The final product is perfect for use in many industries like food and personal skin and hair care products.
Ancient Uses
The use of hydrolyzed yeast proteins was unheard of during the ancient times. However, hair and skin care are of the utmost importance in many ancient tribes as well. These were done through the use of natural products such as fruit extracts, butters from nuts and also essential oils. Not only was hair care of importance but also was the treatment of many hair conditions such as dandruff, lice and male pattern baldness.
Modern Uses
The use of hydrolyzed yeast proteins during modern times is not just restricted to food. Aside from adding flavor to food and to improve the quality of food stuffs; hydrolyzed yeast proteins are also a main ingredient in quality shampoos and hair conditioners. As an antistatic, hair becomes more manageable, easy to comb and style and may also be less prone to damage from constant styling and treatments. As an important ingredient in hair conditioners, it makes hair easy to brush as well plus hair is able to maintain its beauty even after the day is long over. It also effectively conditions hair without accumulating or clogging pores and scalp.
It may also make skin care products more able to improve moisture content on skin, making skin smooth to touch, less prone to breakout and have eczema-like symptoms and many other skin conditions as a result of dryness and lack of moisture. There may also be cosmetics with hydrolyzed yeast proteins as the main ingredient.
Side Effects
There are no noted side effects of using products with hydrolyzed yeast proteins. It is considered safe to use even on a regular basis. It may also be used even on sensitive skin and for infants and young children's skin as well. However, never use hair care and skin care products with this chemical on infected, broken or inflamed skin.
If you have extra sensitive skin, consult your dermatologist for the ideal product or brand to use without hydrolyzed yeast proteins as an ingredient. If you develop rashes, skin irritation, itchiness and redness after using skin or hair care products with hydrolyzed yeast proteins, discontinue using the product immediately and consult a medical professional for the ideal treatment as soon as possible.

"We have a Plum tree in our back yard that makes a huge amount of Plums and I thought I would try making Jam out of them. This recipe is great and the only thing I did different was to use a hand mixer and crush up the Plums before I cooked it. I'm not a huge fan of chunks of fruit do this turned out great for me. I am going to make more because everyone is asking for some!"

Chris Brown Sued Over D.C. Assault Incident
Justin Bieber isn't the only pop star with legal woes. Chris Brown is facing his own drama. His latest problem? Oh, he's just being sued by the person he is accused of assaulting in misdemeanor fashion in Washington, D.C. last fall.
Parker Adams has launched a $3 million lawsuit, claiming that Breezy not only beat him up and broke his nose while he was outside of the W Hotel in the nation's capital, but that he also made a gay slur, saying, "I ain't down with that gay s—t." Breezy is also being prosecuted related to this incident.
Brown, who reportedly recorded a song with Ariana Grande and was said to be extorted by another person he had an altercation with, denied that he did anything wrong and even positioned Adams as the aggressor who was trying to force his way onto Breezy's tour bus. There was that whole story about a Secret Service agent accidentally witnessing the incident and hearing the victim say Brown did not strike him.
Adams' lawsuit also names Breezy's bodyguard Christopher Hollosy. Adams wants $1 million in damages from both men for his injuries, on top of an additional $500,0000 apiece for punitive damages, according to TMZ.

It appears the sale of the Castaneda sale is nowhere as near closing as the worod on the street had it, or the Fred Harvey blog, for that matter. Still, a purchase agreement is in place, and that fact earned the pending sale a 5-column headline on page one of today's Optic. Let's all keep our fingers crossed!

Winchester Dam repairs done, water levels to return
WINCHESTER, Ore. -- We are looking at some of the lowest water levels the North Umpqua River has seen in quite a while, but the Winchester Dam will soon be back up to normal.
Although these water levels are due to some routine repairs being made on the Winchester Dam, there are some important things that residents need to know.
David Williams, the District 15 Watermaster, says residents below the dam should keep an eye on water intakes until the dam fills back up. "If you're going to need to use water in that stretch below Winchester Dam down to River Forks Park, please do be aware that the river level may be slightly lower than normal, and as a consequence you need to keep an eye on where that intake is."
According to the water resources department, the repairs are completed and now it's time to begin re-filling the reservoir. "We should be done re-filling that reservoir in two or three days, and everything should be back to normal at that point," Williams said.
The good news is, these repairs will be finished up just in time for the rainy season.

Public Names New Sea Center Texas Eel "Slick," Calls Grouper "Cooper"
LAKE JACKSON, Texas — The fish-loving public has spoken: "Slick" shall henceforth be the new name of a six-foot green moray eel at Sea Center Texas, while "Cooper" was the name voted in for the center's 50-pound Queensland grouper, both of which reside in the facility's 50,000-gallon Gulf aquarium exhibit.
Sea Center Texas announced the results of its recent grouper and eel naming contest at an event held Saturday, May 16. Participants who submitted the top five name suggestions along with the public were invited to attend the name announcement celebration held Saturday morning.
During the month of March, visitors to the facility and its web site were invited to submit suggestions for the eel and grouper. More than 1,200 name suggestions were received and a group of volunteers and staff selected the top five name suggestions for each fish.
The top five names selected for the eel were Slick, Neil, Lucille, Eelvis, and Morrie. The top five names selected for the grouper were Gilligan, Cooper, Sydney, Gordon II and Queenie.
The top five names were placed on a ballot and visitors to the aquarium and the facility web site were able to vote on their favorite name for each fish. Some 650 votes for each fish were received and tallied to determine the winning names.
The winning name for the eel was Slick which beat the second place name of Eelvis by a mere 13 votes. The name of Slick was submitted by the following 15 individuals: Isabell Murrell, Lupe Sersantez, Elijah Thomas, Nathan Wilbanks, Calib Clarke, Jayden Ward, Keegan Engelking, Nicole Bilgen, Val Willingham, Liz Davis, Katelyn Peters, Scarlett Huvar, Shelton D., Sarah Ory, and Mason Wise.
The winning name for the grouper was Cooper which received 270 of the 642 votes. Gilligan and Gordon II came in a close second and third place with just over a 100 votes each. The name Cooper was suggested by Emily Lorraine, Laura Michael, Dorothy Dean, Anna Prillaman, Frances Stiles, Emily Sitton and Victoria Cummings.
The finalists who attended the announcement event were presented with certificates of appreciation and a picture of the eel or grouper. Then those who submitted the winning names were recognized and received a gift certificate to the Sea Center Texas gift shop.
Sea Center Texas is a marine aquarium, fish hatchery and education center operated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Operating hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 pm., and Sunday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The center is closed on Mondays. Free admission.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) Two California Highway Patrol officers accused in an alleged sexual assault have resigned.
The officers, whose names have been withheld, surrendered their positions Friday, Oct. 5, Officer Robert Rodriguez said Thursday.
One officer was accused of sexually assaulting a 21-year-old woman in her bedroom while his partner was in the house. Both officers were on duty during the alleged assault.
The accuser said she was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving Sept. 14 in north Bakersfield. She said she failed a sobriety test, but the officers reportedly told her they wouldn't arrest her if they could follow her home to ensure she didn't crash.
The woman's attorney, Cleve McKnight, told Eyewitness News last month that, "There was no consent at all," in the sexual activity, which he claimed could be proved through DNA evidence in a used condom left at his client's east Bakersfield home.
CHP spokesman Rodriguez said he wasn't authorized to comment further on the officers' resignations. The CHP also wouldn't release an official statement on the resignations, he said.
Art Norris, a prosecutor with the Kern County District Attorney's office, said Thursday that they need to receive the case from the sheriff's office, which is handling the criminal investigation, before considering possible charges. He didn't know when the sheriff's office would hand over the case.

A while back AR8Jason showed us some neat medals from the Walter Schroeder Foundation of Milwaukee. Here we have a membership medal from the Milwaukee Old Settlers Club that belonged to Walter Schroeder. The 1878 date below his name was thought to be his join date but is really his birthday. His parents actually were old settlers so it is possible that the club membership was also open to the children of old settlers especially if they were rich like Walter was. Walter is most famous for building the Schroeder Hotel in downtown Milwaukee which was later renamed the Marc Plaza and is now owned by the Hilton Corporation.

Leigh Ramblers edge closer to Essex Olympian League Division One title
7:00pm Friday 18th April 2014
By Paul Alton
7:00pm Friday 18th April 2014
By Paul Alton
LEIGH Ramblers only need to avoid defeat tomorrow to secure the Essex Olympian Division One title.
Ramblers have already got promotion to the Premier Division in the bag ahead of the crunch clash at Belfairs Park.
And they just need to prevent third-placed Springfield winning as the mid-Essex club's superior goal difference would see them take the championship and secure promotion alongside Ramblers.
A defeat or draw for Springfield will see Hutton promoted alongside Ramblers.
Rochford Town have been in good form all season following their return to intermediate football.
They have already secured promotion from Division Three but still harbour title ambitions.
The second-placed team lock horns with leaders Snaresbrook tomorrow knowing a win would put them top with two games in hand.
The pressure is on Snaresbrook as only a point separates them and Rochford, who face a derby clash at mid-table Stambridge United on Monday.
White Ensign could consign Harold Hill to relegation if they can beat them in the Premier Division tomorrow.
Eastwood-based Ensign have had a disappointing season and are not clear of the drop themselves as they are in the relegation zone and five points adrift of Harold Wood Athletic.
Harold Wood head to Rayleigh Town, who will be looking to get back to winning ways following their midweek 2-1 defeat at home to Kelvedon Hatch. Basildon Town are third in Division Two and host Shenfield AFC, who missed the Division Two title but have won promotion alongside champions Ongar Town.
Despite having nothing at stake, the match could produce goals as Shenfield's Billy Texeria has netted 22 times this season, while Marcus Bowers and Reece Conway have bagged 29 goals between them for Basildon.

Re: Lung full of fluid
Daniellemarg- one more thing... what you said about your husband's attitude and being humbled. I feel the exact same way. I was looking at my dad today in his wheelchair- he doesn't even have the strength to hold up his head most times when he is in it- and when he catches me looking at him he smiles. Doesn't give a rueful shake of his head or a sad face, but smiles. He can't walk, he can't eat, he has to worry about losing control of his bodily functions at times and he still has not complained ONCE.
I can only hope that I have inherited some of his dignity and grace.

Today I thumbed through the new Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition Game Guides from Prima Games — which will be in stores, along with the game, tomorrow. Available in regular and individually-numbered Collector's Edition flavors, the guides feature all the content from the original Game Guide, plus new pages for Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta.
I gotta say, these books are absolutely massive. Author David Hodgson tells me the book actually weighs in more than a pound heavier than the original book. And with 752 pages of content, it is officially the largest Prima Guide ever written! For those wondering, the guides once again include a movie-sized game map — now updated with new locations from the DLC content..
Hit the jump to see the unique back cover of the CE guide — complete with moar Vault Boy action!

Kate Kondell
Girly is not a word that Kate Kondell would ever use to describe herself. So no one was more surprised than she that she cared so much about finding the perfect dress for her wedding to Antonio Rangel in Half Moon Bay, CA, or that she purchased not one, but two dresses in the process. That behavior would be more readily attributable to the unabashedly girly characters she developed in the screenplay she wrote for the sequel to Legally Blonde. Her quest ended when she found this diaphanous, off-white, beaded gown by Badgley Mischka on an eleventh-hour shopping trip with her sister.
On the wedding day, Kate's stylist, San Francisco-based Sarah Hyde, used a light hand to apply her makeup and gathered her blond hair into a low chignon, secured with a rhinestone hairpin. Kate wore silver rhinestone-encrusted sandals by Stuart Weitzman and her mother's pearl earrings to complete the look. That evening, when she twirled on the cliffs at her reception, as the sun set and a bagpiper played, she truly enjoyed being a girl.

Integrated Neural Entrainment Technology
Digital Euphoria's Integrated Neural Entrainment Technology (iNET) process envelops brainwave activity, guiding it toward transformative states of consciousness and influencing the electromagnetic field produced by your body to resonate at meditative frequencies.
In conventional brainwave entrainment (BWE), rhythmic pulses attract the brain's neural firing rhythms into their own train of influence. However, because brainwaves and neurological processes are essentially nonlinear and dynamic, the entrainment signal generated by conventional forms of entrainment has a very limited capacity to engage the brain's neuro-electrical modulations.
The iNET process significantly improves the efficiency of BWE by integrating multiple entrainment methodologies into a synergistic whole, thereby captivating more of the brain's dynamic flows to produce phase synchronous brainwaves and deep states of meditation.

For generations, elders have looked down their nose with the smarmy sentiment "Youth is wasted on the young." Get Him Eat Him say "Fuck yeah, Grampy!" The children of the early 1990's, those that got wind of the decade before them and a deep, hard whiff of what was going on around them, looked back to choppy guitar pop, frantic keyboards, balls-out romance and DIY ambition. They became Get Him Eat Him.
Get Him Eat Him hails from Providence, Rhode Island, but its members are a cross-country lot who converged during their first year at Brown University, sharing a love for weird noises, oddball humor and a fierce appetite for music and sandwiches.
Singer/guitarist/electronic manipulator Matt LeMay (the band's elder at 21) wrote many of these songs while still in high school (and still the youngest staff writer at the then fledgling Pitchfork), but it wasn't until the band's current line-up of Jason Sigal (guitar, vocals), Raf Spielman (keyboards), Jeff Wood (drums), and Joe Posner (bass) came together that they became the monster heard on Geography Cones, the band's debut (recorded by Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof, Erase Errata) at San Francisco's Tiny Telephone Studios). Each song is an impressive combination of taut melodies, jerky rhythms, and a frighteningly keen turn of phrase, brought together by spastic sex, flailing hostility, nervous energy and, as Matt squawks on the stomper "Shirt Like A Couch," an endearing and furious "awkwardness" that has garnered the band the attentions of and invitations from the Arcade Fire, Xiu Xiu, the Wrens, the Constantines, Ted Leo and Broken Social Scene.

Great site that has images all the way back to groundbreaking, every 15 minutes or so, and each photo is zoomable....best webcam site I've ever seen, and I'm glad it is for the Colts' new stadium!
On to the joke....
Even though I'm a Colts fan, I found quite a bit of humor in this....
Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in a Lincoln Park when a crazedRottweiler suddenly attacks one of the boys. Thinking quickly, theother boytakes his hockey stick, shoves it under the dog's collar, twists itand breaks the dog's neck, saving his friend.
A reporter is standing by, sees the incident, and rushes over tointerview the boy.
"Young Cub Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing inhis notebook.
"But I'm not a Cubs fan," the little boy replies.
"Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," saysthe reporter and starts writing again.
"Sox Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in hisnotebook.
"But I'm not a Sox fan either," the little boy replies.
"Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," says the reporter and starts writing again.
"Bears Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in his notebook.
"I'm not a Bears fan either," says the boy.
"Oh... I assumed everyone in Chicago was either for the Cubs, Sox or Bears. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked.
"I'm a Colts fan," the boy replies.
The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes:
"Little Bast*rd From Indiana Kills Beloved Family Pet"

Airlines: Sales Ready to Soar?
Airlines bucked yesterday's selling and are rallying once again today. Could investors be betting that sales will pick up as the weather warms up?
Yesterday, American Airlines (AAL) rose 1.9%, while Delta Air Lines (DAL) gained 1.8%, Southwest Airlines (LUV) advanced 0.8% and United Continental (UAL) finished up 0.3%, even as the S&P 500 fell 0.5%.
UBS analyst Darryl Genovesi explains why revenue could accelerate:
We now have visibility into March/April/May travel with March more than 90% booked, April 40-50% booked and May about 20% booked. While the revenue outlook appears to have deteriorated since mid-February when fuel began its move lower, our early look at April/May bookings indicate 5.5-6% unit revenue growth. We believe this is consistent with expectations for April, which is boosted by late Easter, but think investors likely expect a deceleration in May. It may yet play out this way with only 20% of May in the books, but for now, we still show steady mid-single-digit growth.
Genovesi raised his price targets on American Airlines to $40 from $38, on Delta Air Lines to $113 from $110 and on Southwest Airlines fro $25 to $26. United Continental remains unchanged at $50.
Shares of American Airlines have gained 2.1% to $37.58 today at 11:47 a.m., while Delta Air Lines has risen 2.7% to $34.23, Southwest Airlines has advanced 1.1% to $23.64 and United Continental is up 0.6% at $44.73.

Fister OK after skin-cancer removal procedure
WASHINGTON -- Nationals starter Doug Fister told the media Friday night that the stitches on the right side of his neck resulted from a skin-cancer removal procedure he underwent "a couple days ago."
Fister surrendered four earned runs over six innings in Washington's 10-3 loss to Giants -- the most runs he's allowed since June 15.
But the right-hander said after the game that the procedure and subsequent wound on his neck did not influence his performance, and he's "good" moving forward.
"It had no effect tonight," Fister said.
