Okay so if you want to realize faster application deployment with reduced costs, you have to check out the IBM Cloud. You virtually have no infrastructure to maintain and benefit from pay-as-you-go pricing. And, you can set up more accurate test environments in minutes versus weeks using standardized configurations. Sound irresistible?
So you ask, what does this new release really mean for me as a developer? Well here's a quick summary of what Version 1.1 has to offer:
- Security is a top priority, you can now use a VPN to access your machine instances on the IBM Cloud to provide virtual network isolation of your instances. Each VPN service consists of a private virtual LAN (VLAN) in an IBM Cloud Center of your choice plus a VPN gateway for accessing that VLAN. Pretty cool!
- In addition, the VPN option allows isolation of your development and test environment on the IBM Cloud on a VLAN that only you can access. Plus your instance is not accessible from the Internet or from other instances unless you have provisioned them to use your private VLAN. Very secure.
- New premium support services have been added. On top of the existing tech support, you may also purchase premium levels of support that include around-the-clock telephone support and a web-based ticketing system to submit and review service requests plus remote technical support to assist you in the use of the Cloud web portal, access to services, instance creation, and image management functions within the portal. And you have the ability to add Linux operating support for Linux OS provisioned through the Cloud web portal, including support for virtual machine instances. This is really awesome.
Then you'll want to check out the web site for IBM Smart Business Development and Test on the IBM Cloud to see how you can get started - you can request a contract right from the web page.
And once you get signed up, take advantage of the IBM developerWorks cloud computing resource center to keep up with technical knowledge on cloud application and services development and deployment and tools you can use to make your life easier.

U.S. grain and soybean futures ended mixed Tuesday, with the three major crop futures failing to sustain initial advances.
Grain and soy prices found stability after stumbling Monday, but lacked enough fresh fundamental news to overshadow seasonal pressure, as traders brace for the influx new supplies from the fall harvest.
Corn futures led the slide in the grain complex at Chicago Board of Trade, as sluggish demand and seasonal harvest selling overcame support from reports that China was poised to import more U.S. corn.
Corn prices climbed in the face of negative economic news Monday, fueled by talk of China buying U.S. corn. But the unconfirmed reports failed to buoy prices Tuesday.
"The pricing of the China business would have been accomplished Monday, and once the pricing is done, it's done," says John Kleist, senior analyst with ebottrading.com.
"That's why the corn market failed to sustain the early session gains," Kleist added.
Corn and other agricultural commodities received support from outside financial markets, which were a negative factor Monday. Equities climbed on possible progress on Greece's debt crisis and potential stimulus efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, easing worries about the economy for the moment.
It will be tough to mount any sustained rallies until the harvest progresses further, Kleist said. "It's not a surprise for the U.S. to drum up business after the recent break in prices, and crop scares have been factored in prices already."
Traders are also cautious of a tenuous global economy, fearful of slumping demand.
U.S. wheat faces stiff export competition from countries in the Black Sea region like Russia, and soybeans are competing with Brazil, where China is sourcing supplies longer than expected.
Traders were encouraged that recent price declines brought China back to the market to buy some cargoes of U.S. soybeans.
CBOT November soybeans ended up 2 cents to $13.38 a bushel. CBOT December corn ended down 2 cents at $6.90 1/4 per bushel, 13 cents off the intraday high.
December CBOT wheat ended up 1 3/4 cents at $6.74 3/4 per bushel, while KCBT December wheat closed down 3 cents at $7.65.
Other Markets
CBOT December soymeal end up 0.5% at $350.30 per short ton, and December soyoil dropped 0.4% to 55.63 cents per pound. CBOT November rice closed down 19 1/2 cents at $17.19 1/2 per hundredweight.
Ethanol for December delivery climbed 0.4% to $2.560 per gallon. Oats for December delivery ended up 1% at $3.49 per bushel.

Bradford Bulls' appeal against their points deduction will be heard "as soon as possible", the Rugby Football League has said.
The Bulls on Monday formally announced their intention to contest the RFL's decision to dock them six points for going into administration.
Bradford will argue in front of a specially-convened independent sporting sanctions panel that they had no option but to breach the game's insolvency regulations as they faced the threat of a winding-up petition.
A statement from the governing body said: "The RFL can confirm that Bradford Bulls have submitted an appeal against the points deduction handed down by the RFL board of directors as a penalty for entering into administration in January 2014.
"The appeal has been lodged on the grounds that the insolvency event arose solely as a result of force majeure, in that the club's administration occurred in circumstances that were unforeseeable and unavoidable.
"The appeal will be heard by a specially-convened independent sporting sanctions appeal panel chaired by a qualified solicitor or barrister.
"The panel will also feature at least two other members, one of whom must be a fully-qualified insolvency practitioner.
"The panel has the discretionary power to instruct an independent firm of accountants or alternative expert to provide evidence to assist them in deciding whether or not the insolvency event arose as a result of force majeure.
"The panel will hear Bradford's appeal as soon as possible, with details of the time and date to be confirmed in due course."
The RFL says it will be bound by the decision of the panel, which could confirm the deduction of six points, reduce the severity of the penalty or overthrow it.
It is almost seven weeks since the RFL announced the sanction but less than three weeks since Bradford were taken over by Leeds-based businessman Marc Green.
The Bulls are entering into unchartered territory.
Wakefield and Crusaders both accepted their punishment after being docked four points in 2011 for breaching the RFL's insolvency regulations and Bradford similarly accepted their fate after losing six points two years ago.
This time, however, the return of relegation from Super League means there is much more at stake and the Bulls clearly feel they have nothing to lose after being handed the maximum penalty.
The RFL board of directors have some discretion where clubs agree to pay off some of their debt and in this case Green is one of the major creditors, having made a loan of around £150,000 to the club last September.
The RFL also revealed that Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs was owed almost £170,000 when the old company went into administration on January 31.
The RFL's decision to dock the club six points and place the club in special measures on February 25 prompted a walk-out by the consortium given the go-ahead by the administrator to take over the running of the Bulls, with then chairman Mark Moore claiming the move made "relegation almost a certainty".
That did not deter a host of budding new owners - including Mandy Koukash, the wife of Salford chairman Marwan - and Green emerged from a fresh round of bidding as the new buyer on March 26.
Bradford won two of their first three Super League matches to claw back four of the points but have lost their last five to remain on minus two, with the bottom two clubs dropping down to the Championship at the end of the season to make way for a 12-team competition.

Pacers move George Hill
Pacers receive Amir Johnson & Quincy Acy.
Why: Frees up cap space for the future. Amir Johnson replaces Tyler. We let Hans walk. Acy is a throw in but is young/banger and can develop. Pacers look to sign a facilitator or draft a PG @23.
Raptors- Win now mode. They already have Rudy Gay; DeRozen and Barginia w/ no first round draft pick. George Hill give them a Point that will fit their style of play.

Why not scale down Redsfest and spend maybe three weekends and have a smaller Redsfest in say, Dayton, Columbus, Lexington, or Indianapolis. Pick three locations and have a smaller event so they could combine the caravan and Redsfest together. This would probably be a bit more costly and more of a hassle, but it would have greater fan attendance as it would be coming out to the fans. Cincinnati fans could make the trip to Dayton, so they wouldn't be left with too long of a ride, and other fans from further away could attend with much more ease. Probably not a realistic idea, but I thought it was worth throwing out there.
I forgot to add that the Redsfest could spend a Friday night/Saturday at each location, and players could come as possible. I'm sure it could be worked out that a couple big names highlight each stop on the tour. Minor players could fill out so each city could have a nice autograph selection for people interested in that.

Yeah, it probably would be. But there are several ways to do this without having to cancel it. Using the Westin could be a good idea. You'd have to break things up in different areas but I'm sure it could be done.Originally Posted by TeamDunn
This is starting to sound an awful lot like that HOF fiasco. The Reds said that they didn't have the money to complete it this year and people got angry. Then Carl rides in on his white horse and says, "Get it done." I can just see Carl come in a couple of days from now and tell them to "Get it done." Such is PR for the Reds. Tick people off and then have some one come in and save the day.
Well that stinks..ditto on the BOOOO :thumbdn:
Go Gators!
Just ridiculous :thumbdn:
The city will chime in with something to solve it. Probably Ms. Reese herself (insert eye rolling).
If news gets out that events can't be handled here because of the convention center being renovated then other groups that have annual things here at the convention center will begin looking at other areas. They will find a solution for those groups and probably the Reds if the outcry from the fans is loud enough.
It's pretty big. There are a gazillion turnstiles to deal with ... lines for getting tickets to get autographs, then lines for actual autographs and photos. Plus there are a lot of vendors, Reds-related booths, kids' activities, and the big seating area for the Reds Q&A's and whatnot.Originally Posted by zombie-a-go-go
It is not, however, so big that it couldn't be held somewhere else.
Sigh. I still can't get over this. Guess I'll start my letter-writing campaign tonight. Thanks for the e-mail address TeamDunn and Creek!
More bad PR for the Reds. How surprising.
When I first heard this news that it was being cancelled due to a lack of space, I thought "baloney". There's plenty of facilities big enough to hold this event. What about the Cintas Center? What about Shoemaker Center? What about US Bank Arena? If the Reds really wanted to hold this event, they could find a facility for it. I just named three of them.
I hate the Cubs!!
The Reds never cease to amaze me with their bumbling idiotic moves. Amazing, totally amazing. :thumbdn:
Yet another in a long line of Reds PR blunders, horrible timing, and more proof that the fans do not matter and only finances do.
Hope they're happy :thumbdn:

If the event actually needed 190,000 square feet, to whip up some math for a moment, that's roughly the size of four football fields. Not many facilities have that space in total, much less contiguous.
So what would you do? Have it scattered into multiple facilities? Cancel some of the stuff that requires a lot of space? Limit the number of available tickets? Not taking a position one way or the other. Just askin'.

Relive The Recent Half Season Just In Time For Christmas...

We here at Figures.com are big fans of Doctor Who, but thats not very unique any more now that the show has hit record popularity here in the United States. The British science-fiction juggernaut began all the way back in 1963, and its never been more mainstream around the world than it is now. Right now were halfway through Series Seven (the current numbering starts with the 2005 season), a season split across 2012 and 2013. Just in time for fans to catch up on the latest adventures of the Doctor and his companions is Series Seven Part One on Blu-ray and DVD, a perfectly timed release just weeks ahead of the new Christmas special now airing on the same day internationally!
If youre still unfamiliar with Doctor Who (seriously, do you live in a cave?), heres a quick rundown. The show follows the adventures of the last of the Time Lords, an effectively immortal humanoid called simply the Doctor. His people, the Gallifreyans, were extinguished in the great Time War against a race of alien cyborgs called Daleks. Ever since, the Doctor has traveled the universe and time stream in his iconic vessel the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), which due to a broken chameleon circuit resembles an old-fashioned British police box. Decidedly lonely at heart, the Doctor periodically swings by present day Earth to pick up a companion or two, someone to travel with him and share in his wild adventures. One last thing; in a stroke of absolutely brilliant writing, the Doctor regenerates when killed, coming back to full health in a new body and with a somewhat new personality. This has allowed the series to continue far beyond the lifespan of its actors (especially important for British TV in which seasons and show lifetimes are generally much shorter). The current Doctor is the eleventh, portrayed by actor Matt Smith, and after a couple of seasons under his belt hes really grown into the role and made it his.
The Series Seven Part One Blu-ray collection has relatively simple packaging, somewhat stripped down from what were used to seeing for the full seasons (of course, after the release of Part Two next year expect a full Series Seven set somewhere down the line). The standard-sized Blu-ray case features the striking press image from Asylum of the Daleks on its cover, and the back has a variety of stills from the first six episodes surrounding a brief description and breakdown of the sets contents. The series episodes thus far are distributed on two discs, each emblazoned with another still.
2012s segment of Series Seven included five episodes, and they pack quite a rollercoaster into just a few hours. It started off big with the long-awaited return of the Daleks, who didnt appear at all in Series Six! Asylum of the Daleks not only featured the perennial Who favorite, but saw them seeking out the Doctor for help in a bizarre turnabout. Needless to say, not everything is as it seems and what the Doctor finds on the planet Skaro sets the stage for whats sure to be their next encounter. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship delivers exactly what it promises with a fun romp that includes lots of silliness and even a 2001 reference. This episode also notably introduces Rorys father Brian who well see again. The Doctor and Ponds return to America in A Town Called Mercy, discovering the awful secret behind the cyborg Gunslingers attack on a small Wild West town. Small black cubes appear out of nowhere all over the Earth in The Power of Three, and of course its up to the Doctor to uncover their purpose and halt the plot behind them. Finally, The Angels Take Manhattan brings back none other than the Weeping Angels in another story set in the city that never sleeps. This tear-jerker also brings back River Song and presents the Doctors farewell to the Ponds before he gets a new companion in the upcoming Christmas special (spoilers!).
In only five episodes the first part of series seven really takes the viewers to a lot of places, both literally and figuratively. Its interesting that the Doctor continues to visit the United States as much as he does, with two out of these five episodes taking place here (Mercy was filmed in Spain while parts of Angels were shot in Manhattan). The comedy of Dinosaurs and the first half of Three balances nicely with the gravitas of the first and last episodes, and among Who fans there wont be a dry eye in the house at the mid-season finale. Some interesting faces pop up in series seven, notably Jenna-Louise Coleman as Oswin in Daleks (shes playing the Doctors next companion), Rupert Graves (Sherlock) as John Riddell in Dinosaurs, Ben Browder (Farscape, Stargate SG-1) as Isaac in Mercy, and Michael McShane in Angels.
For only half a season, this Blu-ray actually has some pretty fun extras, several of them representing additional in-universe stories. A series of Pond Life shorts gives you snippets of life between episodes from Amy and Rorys point of view, and theyre quite funny (especially the one with the Ood butler). The Making of the Gunslinger takes you behind the scenes of the alien science division responsible for the titular character in the episode A Town Called Mercy, and Asylum of the Daleks Prequel sets the stage for the seasons premiere and how the Doctor first became involved in the plot. The Science of Doctor Who feature discusses just that, how science is portrayed in the show and how much of it is based on reality, while Doctor Who at Comic Con follows the actors and creators of the show during their visit to the pop culture extravaganza this year.
With BBC spreading out the production and airing of this season, owning the Blu-ray or DVD is going to come in very handy once the second part starts up. Its also nice to catch up on the episodes leading up to the Christmas special in which well finally meet the Eleventh Doctors first new companion since his first episode! Series Seven, Part One is currently available everywhere, and I highly recommend going with the Blu-ray set as it looks amazing (even better than the HD presentation on BBC America). Get it now and prepare for new Who in just a couple weeks!

Our bench is looking pretty BA after that game. With DJ, Green, and Ian holding down the second unit, we're set.
...and maaaaan, that alley to Green was ridiculous. Sorry PG, but you are no longer the best dunker on this team :P
To be fair we were told by Larry that one of the better shooters in the NBA was coming to indy and then he signed Kareem, so some people hated him for that.
Drose in a wheel chair?
It was Travis "the best NBA shooter2" Diener
Travis Diener. And how dare you forget his name!
Very pleased with Ben Hansbrough
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Travis Diener and to be fair to Larry he is one of the best deep shooters he just is awful at everything else.
but on to the game Ian showed why I was in love with his signing tonight. Nice to finally have size and a guy who has skill and great on defense at the 5. I still and dumbfounded why he only got 4m a year I said at the time it was a steal and come playoff time it will show the best.
I have been a Pendy fan since his Ariz St days wanted to trade back and draft him on draft day he played like I envisioned tonight finally getting healthy and moving like he did in college. Pendy and Ian might be our best defensive bigs we have had in some time. I love how active both are and they both bring what we need glad Pendy is getting a shot hope he earns Tylers mins we need his defense and rebounding IMO.
We need to clean up our defense (DJ is gonna kill us all year Barea was getting wherever he wanted on him) a bit and run crisper sets but for our 2nd preseason game defiantly liked the improvement.
OJ is concerning me still think he will be fine but im weary he isn't separating at all(that was my main knock on him in college). In college he made tough shots so I didnt think it would be a big deal at the NBA level but he really needs to get a bit quicker and just settle into his game.

I wonder how it would affect Tyler if Ben made the team. I saw him smiling during a timeout and it could be me, but I don't recall seeing him do that before. He always looks so serious, almost too serious.
You have to give everything you can, but having fun while playing should be a part of it.
We've got ourselves a pretty solid bench. We've definitely taken a step forward overall.
Ian is one of the best backup centers in the league and DJ could start for most teams.
I've always been a fan of Gerald and I'm thrilled he's a Pacer. He brings so many things this team has been searching for.
I predicted Vogel would call the infamous Cavs Jim O'Brien play for Green out of bounds alley for the dunk!
The stretch where we saw our new back up Center Ian versus our old back up Lou said a lot.
Great second half! I hope that Little Hans makes the team. Not only has he been solid, but perhaps having his brother around would help Tyler?

It wasn't Lou's fault really bad job by Bird we probably win the Heat series last season if we had a legit backup C and another wing defender like Rush. You cant rely on a guy with a gimpy back was beyond bad especially considering the drop off on both ends playing a poor player like Lou out of position.
You plug a Ian level player on too our bench last year we are much much better on defense and even a bit better on offense.
Recall the majority of this board giving me a hard time when I said Ben Hans can ball when given the opportunity. Because supposedly he can't pass? Kid can play. He showed that at Notre Dame by winning Big East Player of the Year, and he showed it tonight. All he needs is a chance.
Ian Mahinmi was a beast... I didn't realize how big the guy was. Dang. Just watching those highlights, he's gonna be a drastic improvement coming off the bench for Hibbert.
He was a lot smoother than I expected. and less clumsy. One thing struck me, he does a really nice job of getting open under the rim. Somewhat like Marquis daniels used to. Just kind of stands there, but in just a way that opens up a passing lane to his hands. Very nice talent to have. Be even nicer if his hands were better, but still, figuring a way to get yourself open at the front of the rim is a nice skill to have.
Just got back from the game, my new wife and I actually got row 2 seats section 15 for this game. Gratis from her employer. It turns out during the second half Hansbrough's Father "elder Hansbrough" as I referred to him under my breath, came up and sat courtside just infront of us for the entire 2nd half. I figured out it was him by his passionate grunts when ever Ben made a play. He was very excited for his boy. He was also cheering hard for Mahinmi. Judging by the various texts he was sending out the he was on pins and needles for that 2nd half, and completely lost it when Ben threw the alley oop on the inbounds pass to seal the game. Really interesting to see a glimpse into that life and situation, I started really cheering for Hansbrough along with him.
I did not talk him up or anything, figured he was intensely focused. But we exchanged comments here or there about a play.
Funny note, I had to stop my wife from saying something mean about Tyler, because she didn't realize who was right there infront of us. She kept saying "can we trade Tyler for Ben? He is much better" I talked her down from hating on Tyler so early after not even seeing how he has improved yet.....even though we both do not care for Tyler's game at all. Just felt terrible to say something disparaging about a man's son right in his immediate ear shot.
Oh yeah, i'm calling it right now. Gerald Green 6th man of the year.
Oh yeah some of Paul's crew "the Pac Gang" were there courtside under the basket. I recognized the ridiculous tiger head tattoos on their hands.

You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Hans always seems like such a loner to me. I don't mean that disparagingly, just what I see. You don't really see him chatting it up with guys on the bench, cracking jokes, that kinda stuff.
Just getting home from the game too. Big thanks to pacerscolts1125 for the great seats in section 5. My fiance and I had a blast at the Fieldhouse as always. Green is her new favorite player as 25 was her number in high school, and green is her favorite color. Not to mention the insane, pogo-sticks that guy has for legs. Ian is what stood out to me the most though, as good as Green was tonight. As others have said, he looked big and strong, did a good job getting open under the rim, and knocked down his free throws with a nice looking stroke. It's nice to have two big guys who can cash in the free ones. Speaking of free ones, funniest moment of the night was Plumlee's air ball free throw, but to be fair he had a few nice moments as well. All in all tonight got me so excited to start the real games. Go Pacers!

Butler or Michigan. I'm really hoping for Elijah Brown, Mike Brown's son, as well for 2013. He's overshadowed by the other stars on Mater Dei but he seems to be like a great scorer. Him and Bluiett would make a nice pair of wings.
St. Joe's has been disappointing in the non-conference slate but it is still nice to get a win on the road against a team picked to win the league in the preseason.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
St. Joe's was picked to win the A10 preseason? Never would have guessed that.
I'm still not sure why. Granted Butler has been much better than anticipated. The same applies to VCU. But even a few of the incumbent A-10 teams seem to have a better case. Of course, 6 teams received 1st place votes so it was preceived (probably correctly) as pretty wide open.
1. Saint Joseph's (11)
2. Saint Louis (10)
4. Temple (2)
5. Massachusetts (2)
6. Butler (2)
7. La Salle

"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I would have thought SLU was the favorite. Surprised they weren't.
Butler is looking like at least a Sweet 16 team yet again. If they don't have any injuries I'd be shocked if they didn't make it at least that far. Also, I can't wait until they get Xavier again. That team has been playing like **** lately. If they played that game 10 more times right now, Butler would win all 10 of them. BTW, anyone planning on going to Hinkle for the Gonzaga game on the 19th? If Butler wins the next two and some ahead of them lose that could be a top 10 matchup at Hinkle.

Rotnei Clarke was injured in the first half of the game versus Dayton. Not sure of his status going forward.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Need a new jersey, but Gonna be OK!Thx to BU Medical personnel, UD, and MV Hospital. twitter.com/BUCoachStevens…— Brad Stevens (@BUCoachStevens) January 12, 2013
Sprained neck. Not sure how long that means but it's a great sign he could travel home with the team. It'll suck to not have him for Gonzaga but I'm glad he will be able to play again. Scary injury.
Actually first saw and liked Clarke when he played for the Hogs. He's a great kid and I sure hope he's okay.
I think winner of Butler vs. Gonzaga has a great chance of landing a 2 in the tournament.
I'll take that bet. This group looks like fairly safe bets for a 1 or 2 seed: Louisville, Indiana, Kansas, Syracuse, Duke, Michigan. There's six teams. Arizona is a paper tiger imo, but they are right there. Florida is right there. Just not sure they have the overall body of work to warrant a 2 seed. How often do mid majors get 1 or 2 seeds? St. Joe's did that one year they went undefeated deep into the season.
Gonzaga has been a media darling and favorite all year which helps. I think there are 5 teams who can get 1 seeds, IU, Mich, Duke, Louisville, KU. Cuse isn't going to IMO, especially if Southerland misses time. SEC is way too crappy to get a 1 seed this year. I'm not even sure Zona will be a 2 by the time the season ends. Let's say Butler beats Gonzaga and then only loses 1 or 2 games in the A-10, I think they would have a great shot. Just like if Gonzaga beats Butler and then only loses 1 or 2 games in the WCC they would also have a great shot.
I agree that they both have an excellent shot at a 2 seed, I just think they will each slip up against a weaker conference opponent once or twice at least. We'll see. Two very, very good teams.
If the season ended right now, would this 14-2 Butler team have a better NCAA resume than 15-1 IU?
Butler is IU's only loss, but Butler also has, more road wins, more wins versus ranked teams, and has played a much, much tougher schedule, and of course that head-to-head victory on a "neutral" court.
Butler is a legit Final Four threat, again this season. That is nothing short of amazing.
I dunno probably, but as we all know IU's hay will be made or lost in the conference schedule.
That being said, Digger Phelps predicted a final four of IU, Butler, Michigan and Louisville the other day. Digger is kind of crazy, but still pretty amazing I didn't spit all over my PC screen. So much talent in the midwest right now.
It's hard for me not to think the A-10 should get full BCS conference level appreciation from the selection committee this season. Outside of the B1G and the Big East is there a league out there that is clearly better overall than the A-10? Maybe the Big 12? Kansas is elite and K-State is petty good. Maybe the ACC? It gets pretty bare after Duke and NC State. The SEC is way down right now outside of Florida and Missouri. The Pac-12 has Arizona, which seems like mostly smoke and mirrors to me, Oregon who is alright, and UCLA who is certainly trending up. Is it better? It seems like after the top tier of the B1G and Big East, the A-10 is right there.
Butler is in the midst of a pretty brutal 7 game stretch to open conference play. I'd be lying if I said I thought they'd get through road games at St. Joe's and Dayton unscathed. (Seriously, why haven't Dayton and Butler played every year regardless of conference affiliation? It seems like such a natural matchup for a variety of reasons.) They should get a win this at home with a middling Richmond team but playing without Clarke could make it tougher than it should be as well as the very real possibility that they're looking ahead to College Gameday and Gonzaga. And huge kudos to Mark Few and Brad Stevens for signing up for such a game in the middle of January. Following that up with a trip to LaSalle, home against Temple, and at St. Louis is pretty ridiculous. If they could go 3-2 in the next 5 games and be 5-2 over this 7 game stretch, I'd be very impressed. They get a bit of a reprieve in February so there seems to be a pretty good shot that they get to March as the favorite to win the regular season conference title and that ought to put them squarely in the mix for a 2-3 seed in my opinion.
While the winner of the Butler/Gonzaga game may have the inside track at this point for a 2 seed, the game which really may place a winner on that line is Butler @ VCU on March 2nd. VCU is playing great baskeball right now and has a relatively easy conference schedule before a pretty ferocious 5 game stretch to end the year. If both teams come into that game with 4 or fewer losses, which seems very possible, the winner should get at least a 3 seed.

If this happens, they should retroactively move the 2013 Final Four to Indianapolis. Just give

I'm not sure my liver could with stand this event.

Oh yes. New Orleans was last year. I'm an idiot.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I assume not and could probably look this up but does anyone know if there is a rule which would preclude Butler from being placed in the Midwest Region since they're a host?
The Dayton to Indy to Atlanta road has to look awfully enticing to IU. IU, Michigan, and Louisville should all be fighting like hell to get the #1 overall seed and get in the Midwest bracket.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
Nope, Butler can be placed there as well. Don't know that it's ever happened before, but I'm guessing it has. I wonder if while it is not a specfific rule that I'm aware of but more of an unspoken thing. It has really made it hard on the comittee that the west is so weak. It looks like yet again an east coast or midwest team is going to have to play the 1 out of the west bracket. Which is really what you want to avoid.
God, could you imagine an Indiana vs. Butler Elite 8 game in Indy. Holy crap.

Why did we sell sarin nerve gas, anthrax and bubonic plague to Saddam Hussein if we are so outraged by their use? How many children did we burn to death in Fallujah with white phosphorous? How many died horribly from our use of napalm in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos?
We seem to see a "red line" in the behavior of other nations, but not our own. Our government has exposed our soldiers to depleted uranium dioxin (the most toxic chemical family known) and the pyrolyzed chemicals we sold to Iraq.
President Obama's assumption that the Syrian government is responsible for sarin use is irresponsible.
Barrels of chemical agents could have been deployed by anyone under the cover of conventional Syrian artillery.
War supporters are essentially saying that al-Qaida (our future allies) could not be responsible for the gas attack.
The final irony is that a unilateral attack by the United States to enforce international norms would be a violation of international norms.

- How to Read a Study Record
The aim of this study is to investigate effects of femur exposed to unilateral vibration on the rest muscle electrical activity of contralateral hip adductors and contralateral soleus H-reflex in young adult men.
This study hypothesize that femur exposed to unilateral vibration may affect the rest muscle electrical activity of contralateral hip adductors. Vibration can effectively enhance muscle strength and power. Previous studies have shown that vibration increases muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity. It has been showed that bone has an effect on the increase in muscle EMG activity caused by vibration in healthy young adults in a study. In this study, it was reported that vibrations-induced increases in muscle electrical activity of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) was related to ultradistal radius bone mineral content (BMC) and the FCR H-reflex was suppressed or depressed during vibration. This findings were reported to support the assumption that the bone exposed to cyclic mechanical loading may neuronally regulate muscle activity.

Vibration will be applied the right lower extremity by whole-body vibration (PowerPlate Pro). Cases will stand on vibration plate. WBV will be applied at a frequency of 40 Hz and amplitude of 2 mm for 60 seconds. WBV will be applied one session only.
The rest muscle electrical activity of ipsilateral and contralateral hip adductor muscles at rest will be measured by PowerLab (data acquisition system, ADInstruments, Australia) device.The rest-EMGrms will be measured at before and during vibration. We also evaluate a change in contralateral soleus H reflex during vibration.
Effects of bone on the rest muscle electrical activity will be assessed by hip bone mineral density, bone mineral content and serum sclerostin level. The right hip bone mineral density (BMD) and BMC will be evaluated by bone densitometer (Norland). Plasma sclerostin level will be measured by using Human Sclerostin ELISA kıt before and after vibration.

This article is a good example of what they often present as research. Lots of words which sound impressive, a few true facts intermingled with an assumed conclusion. Nothing was proven, but the feel of authenticity lingers. As usual, we are lead to believe Buddhism is just a free-floating thing that no one can really get. Or maybe we all can, just tune in next month. Besides, who wants to waste time actually studying?
Oh, and buy our magazine.

Best highlighter.I love the All-Over face colours, and this shade not withstanding. It is a very light pink that brightens up your face if you apply it on the raised areas like your cheek/brow bones and such. It's a powder so it also absorbs oil without caking up or flaking off. Another great product from a great brand. — 9 years, 1 month agoRavenLoudspeakr | 301 reviews

Not for meThis is said to give you the skin you were born with (isn't a child's skin just perfect?!) I found that this only gave me a ghostly glittery face. For me, this was not something I liked. I have used it more than a few times, in order to try to prove myself wrong, but every time I am disappointed. I don't over-do it, I don't under-do it, this just doesn't do what I expected it to and leaves me feeling u g l y. — 8 years, 4 months agoleelu | 354 reviews
Great highlighterThis is one of my favorite highlighters. It's a flattering color, applies easily with a small brush, and blends easily. Works great with the other Bare Minerals products. I use it on my cheekbones, inner corners of the eyes, and under the brow arches. A container lasts a really long time, so it's a good value. — 6 years, 11 months agoJessica8 | 225 reviews
Great touchNice soft, dewy color. I like to add it across my cheeks and around my eyes just to brighten my face up a bit. I have a pinkish complexion to begin with, so I don't use much, but I really love it. — 9 years, 5 months agoladyslipper | 170 reviews
Where Have You Been All My Life?Amazing! Hands down the best all over color I've ever come across.

I will never be without it again. — 5 years, 6 months agoMariInAz | 12 reviews
Really works!People expecting to achieve "the skin you were born with" are going to be sad when they find out this is a highlighter.. Anyways this is a pale sheer pink powder that gives you a sweet glow without looking red. And what a flattering color may I say.

The brother of murdered Trowbridge woman Hayley Richards said the family is devastated after finding out her killer Hugo Quintas had been deported back to Portugal to serve the rest of his sentence.
Pregnant Miss Richards, 23, was murdered by her former boyfriend Hugo Quintas in June 2005 at her home in Carders Corner.
He was jailed for life in 2006 after being convicted of her murder and ordered to serve a minimum of 18 years.
However, brother Paul Richards received a short two-paragraph letter last Tuesday from the Wiltshire Probation Trust, notifying him Quintas had been deported to serve the remainder of his sentence in his home country.
The family were given no prior notification that Hayley's killer was to be deported from Wandsworth Prison and while Quintas will not be permitted to return to the UK, his release will now be according to the laws in Portugal.
Mr Richards, 52, from Hilperton, said the news was another kick in the teeth for the family, as the trial judge ruled Quintas should serve at least two thirds of his sentence in the UK.
The family will now have no say when he comes up for parole.
Mr Richards said they hadn't been notified Quintas was to be deported. "We had no contact from anybody before we received this letter on Tuesday. When I rang the probation service up they said it was nothing to do with them.
"I told the rest of the family and they are absolutely devastated. If he was British we would have a say when he comes up for parole, but now he is in Portugal they could release him tomorrow and we wouldn't even know about it. That is not right.
"Nothing is going to bring Hayley back, but this is just another kick in the teeth. David Cameron is always saying that families of people who are murdered have a voice, but we don't.
"How are we going to feel if he gets released in a year's time and goes and kills someone else? Hayley's unborn daughter would have been eight now, so it was not one life but two that he took away from us."
Quintas, who arrived in England from Porto in 2003, had tried to strangle his lover of 10 months after she threw him out of her flat six days before he eventually killed her.
She told officers she was "petrified" of her boyfriend and feared he would "go mad" if he found out she had reported him to the police, but officers failed to arrest Quintas.
The family of Miss Richards agreed to a financial settlement instead of taking Wiltshire Police to court in 2007, after the force admitted there had been failings in the lead up to her murder.
Mr Richards added: "We have been repeatedly let down from the very start. If the police had done their job properly in the first place I know that Hayley would still be here.
"There is clearly something wrong with the system.
"How can you find out your sister's killer has gone just like that? I think it is an absolute disgrace and I want answers.
"Something needs to change as it's not right that we were not told a thing.
"The trial judge said he would have to serve at least two thirds of his sentence here before he was extradited, so that is what should have happened."
The family are now taking up their concerns with MP Andrew Murrison.

A former commanding officer of RNAS Culdrose's search and rescue squadron has been recognised in the New Year's Honours list.
Lieutenant Commander Christopher 'Damage' Canning, who led the 771 naval air squadron between March 2010 and March last year, has been made an MBE.
He is one of 120 UK service personnel who were granted state honours by the Queen in the honours list.
Also recognised were Cornwall's Olympic sporting heroes Ben Ainslie, who was knighted after taking his four Olympic gold medal last summer, making him the most decorated sailor in the Games' history, and Penzance-born Helen Glover who took gold in the rowing women's pairs and has been made an MBE for services to rowing.
Tireless charity volunteers and top businessmen are among those in Cornwall who have been decorated.
David Williams, managing director of WTW Cinemas - which includes Truro's Plaza - has been made an MBE for services to regional cinema.
Mr Williams, 65, who has been in the industry since 1966 and became managing director in the 70s, took over the then-closed Plaza in 1996 and after extensive refurbishment reopened it in 1998.
His company also owns the White River Cinema in St Austell, The Regal in Wadebridge and the Lighthouse Cinema in Newquay.
Lugina Oates, from Redruth, is also to be an MBE, for services to the community in West Cornwall.
The Portreath Parish Council clerk has spent almost three decades working in the community, with roles over the years including secretary and treasurer of the Friends of Truro Samaritans, secretary for the League of Friends of Trengweath Hospital (later Longreach House) and a fundraiser for Macmillan Nurses.
She has been with the West Cornwall Cancer Friendship Group for more than 20 years, was chairman of the governors for Portreath School, worked with New Connections in Camborne looking after homeless people and has part of Meals on Wheels for more than two decades.
Finally in this area, American-born Dr Melissa Hardie-Budden has been made an MEB for services to heritage and the arts in West Cornwall.
She helped form the Hypatia Trust that was formed to support and oversee the maintenance, development and protection of the Hypatia Collections first brought together at the Jamieson Library in Newmill, Penzance.
For the first time in 20 years, British Empire Medals are also being given. These have not been handed out since 1992, but were brought back for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Among the recipients of these were 64-year-old Phyllis Madron, volunteer fundraiser for the RNLI Penlee and Penzance, for services to maritime safety.
Mrs Madron, chairman of the Penlee RNLI Ladies Guild, lost her husband Stephen in the Penlee lifeboat disaster in 1981.
She has been involved with the RNLI for 42 years, but in the three decades since the disaster - which saw all hands lost on the Solomon Browne, when it went to the aid of the stricken coaster Union Star - her fundraising efforts have stepped up.
Under her chairmanship the Guild has raised £375,000 since 2000, together with many thousands of pounds at the lifeboat station shop, where Janet regularly commits hours of her time as a volunteer.
Also honoured have been Alison Bevan, director of Penlee House at Penzance for services to cultural heritage in Cornwall, 84-year-old RSPCA fundraiser Dorothy Fisher from Camborne for services to animal welfare and the community in Cornwall, and Amanda Kimmins for services to the community of St Agnes.

I wore some of the new things I bought during the travel! The funny thing is I got so many attentions....for my boobs lol, I also tried to hide them as I can and made them look smaller, but yeah everyone looked at me like boobs are for aliens.
The main street is full of people and game stations, I also found a cool display with the last Psycho-pass movie (totally love this anime!) so I had to take a pic of it ahah! We went to the famous Ikebukuro Sunshine City, which is a big mall with tons and tons of beautiful shops, you can spend almost a whole day inside it, I don't joke!
Inside the mall there was a big shops with tons of cosmetics items, I went crazy looking at all the new eyelashes I never saw before ahah! If you're searching for makeup items you totally need to check it! There are also a lot of beautiful fashion shops *u*.
When we saw a totally new pokemon center opened inside the mall we become totally CRAZY, I made some research some days before the travel to find a pokemon center near our area without results so we were both shocked and happy to see it there! It was full of everything you can immagine, if you want to see more about it check my last youtube video HERE, I did my best to film inside it ahah! The prices for anyone who already asked were really afforable so if you are a pokemon fan and you'll go to Tokyo don't miss the chance to check it!
There is also a Sanrio Vivitix shop inside the mall! I know you all always see me in total black but I'm a big fan of kawaii things (lol), with the sales I bought a lovely pajama with my melody and it was really cheap! Of course you'll see it when I have enough time to take the pics of my Tokyo haul.
During the evening we went around Shinjuku for a walk! I love you can walk around without reason and see many fashionable people and interesting things *_*
I hope I can share the next Tokyo post soon! Now I really want to take some new outfit pics but the weather is terrible these days in Italy T_T.

It's a question as old as the automobile itself: How much horsepower isenough, and can you ever have too much?
The answer to that question is usually another question: Well, how areyou going to use it? To a Top Fuel pilot in the NHRA, "enough"horsepower is measured in the thousands. In a shifter kart, 35 hp willthrill you.
We're guessing your power needs fall somewhere between those extremes.Yet, to properly set up your car, the question still applies--how (orwhere) will you use your Corvette? Street, track, some of both? Or areyou looking for bragging rights at your local shop's dyno day?
For the two C5s that appear in this special "Undercover Speed" section,the magic number is 500 hp, or close to it. That represents asignificant increase over what a stock LS1 or LS6 puts out, somethingyou can really feel pinning you back in your seat as you nail thethrottle. Yet 500 horses aren't so hairy as to be temperamental on thestreet. That last word is important. Both the yellow '02 seen here andthe silver '04 Z06 in the story "All Motor" elsewhere in this section(p. 18) are primarily street-driven cars. This '02, in fact, is a dailydriver. But the owner sees just enough track time, and maybe a stoplightdrag or two (though he won't outright admit it), to need some extrapunch when the situation calls for it. (In typical street sleeperfashion, the owner has requested anonymity to maintain his competitiveedge.)
Reaching the 500-horse mark can be done several ways: heads and cam,increased displacement, forced induction, or some combination of allthree. In the case of this car, a supercharger was the answer.Specifically, this Vette breathes deep, courtesy of a Magnuson MagnaCharger.
The Magna Charger is a Roots-type blower. On top of the engine is acase, within which spin two rotors that are driven off the crankshaft.These rotors pressurize the air coming from the intake and push it intothe combustion chambers. More air, when matched with more fuel,increases the engine's volumetric efficiency and will make more powerthan the air/fuel charge under normal atmos-pheric pressure. In the caseof the Mag-nuson unit, the company claims its supercharger is worth anincrease of 130 rwhp.
One unwanted byproduct of the supercharging process is heat. Forcing airthrough the case and into the engine heats up the incoming charge,making it less dense (and therefore less efficient). To combat this heatgeneration, Magnuson has combined its twin-screw blower with anair-to-liquid heat exchanger--an intercooler--that's integrated into theintake manifold below the blower. While the 'cooler does provideunderhood heat relief, it also makes the whole supercharger package tallenough to require the use of an aftermarket hood. As it turns out, thebulging RKSport hood is the only clue that something unusual lurkswithin this yellow stealth bomber. Well, that and the titanium Z06exhaust peeking out the rear.
A&A Corvette Performance in Oxnard, Cali- fornia, installed the MagnaCharger on the yellow Vette. The blower, 48-lb/hr fuel injectors, and aGriffin aluminum radiator were the only modifications made under thehood--well, the only mods our stealth pilot would admit to, anyway. Hedid say that Unitrax in Anaheim, California, helped set up the Vette'srearend, and that he put a Yank 2,600-rpm-stall converter with lockup inthe driveline.
The combination worked just as our owner expected it to. In stock form,the '02 LS1 made 296 rwhp at 5,750 rpm and 292 lb-ft of torque at 5,000.With the Magna Charger and extra fuel from the fatter injectors, thatnumber grew to 443 horses at 6,000 rpm and 416 lb-ft of peak torque,which now arrives at 3,250 rpm.
Though the car's owner wouldn't tell us what he paid for themodifications made to his car, a little Internet shopping turned up apretty consistent $5,995 price for the intercooled Magna Charger. As faras bang for the buck goes, that's not bad. And, since the heads, cam,intake, and exhaust are still stock, there's plenty of power-makingpotential left in the engine, should he decide to go after biggergame--on the track, of course.

When should my baby start solids?
Human milk is the only food that healthy, full-term babies need for about the first six months of life. The composition of human milk varies according to the time of day and the age of the baby, so that each mother provides the milk that meets her own baby's unique needs. Human milk provides immunity factors for as long as the baby nurses, and many of the health benefits of breastfeeding continue well into childhood and beyond.
Most solid foods are lower in calories than human milk, of lower nutritional value, and can be difficult for young babies to digest. Introduced early, they can cause unpleasant reactions and even trigger allergies. These problems can be avoided by waiting until your baby is ready for solids. Some parents have found introducing solids before baby is ready to be a waste of time, energy and money.
Breastfed babies do not need to have complementary food introduced until about the middle of the first year. Before that time, you will notice some signs that your baby is changing developmentally, in preparation for beginning solids in a few months. You will notice that:
- he becomes more sociable, playing and holding "conversations" with you during a nursing session
- he has a growth spurt and nurses more frequently for a while
- he imitates the chewing motions you make whilst eating -- he is practicing!
You will know that he is really ready to start solids when:
- he is about six months old
- he can sit up without any support
- he continues to be hungry despite more frequent nursing which is unrelated to illness or teething
- he has lost the tongue-thrusting reflex and does not push solids out of his mouth
- he can pick up things with his finger and thumb (pincer grasp)
Babies who are ready for solids can usually feed themselves. Mothers often report that they knew their babies were ready when they picked up food from a plate, chewed it, swallowed it, and wanted more.
Listen to your baby! Babies with a tendency to allergies may refuse solids until later in their first year. As long as they are growing well and are happy and healthy, there is no need for concern.
The American Academy of Pediatrics:
Policy Statement on Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk
- "Pediatricians and parents should be aware that exclusive breastfeeding is sufficient to support optimal growth and development for approximately the first 6 months of life and provides continuing protection against diarrhea and respiratory tract infection. Breastfeeding should be continued for at least the first year of life and beyond for as long as mutually desired by mother and child."
- "Introduction of complementary feedings before 6 months of age generally does not increase total caloric intake or rate of growth and only substitutes foods that lack the protective components of human milk. During the first 6 months of age, even in hot climates, water and juice are unnecessary for breastfed infants and may introduce contaminants or allergens."
- "All breastfed infants should receive 200 IU of oral vitamin D drops daily beginning during the first 2 months of life and continuing until the daily consumption of vitamin D-fortified formula or milk is 500 mL. Although human milk contains small amounts of vitamin D, it is not enough to prevent rickets. Exposure of the skin to ultraviolet B wavelengths from sunlight is the usual mechanism for production of vitamin D. However, significant risk of sunburn (short-term) and skin cancer (long-term) attributable to sunlight exposure, especially in younger children, makes it prudent to counsel against exposure to sunlight. Furthermore, sunscreen decreases vitamin D production in skin."

Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
I think UB hits on the head here. We know the Pacers are maybe a piece or two away, as far as I can tell TPTB looked around saw that the piece wasn't out there this offseason and so they decided to re-shuffle the deck on the bench and keep our starting 5 (which was one of the best units in the playoffs last year) and then come back to the drawing board next summer. Maybe we catch lightning in the bottle next spring and take down Miami, yes, it's a long shot, but it's not impossible.
Our bench may not be markedly better talent wise, but we added two key things, backup size and more athleticism. Miles and Green both makes us more athletic off the bench. Mahinmi gives us size that we just absolutely did not have, no offense to Fez, he is hilarious and I hope we bring him back as a 15th man just for his tweets, but Mahinmi is actually competent, we did not have a big competent player off the bench last season. Hans and Lou were two guys with similar skill sets doing a whole lot of nothing for large portions of their time on the court. And we added that backup size and athleticism while keeping our biggest asset off the bench, yes his name is not Darren Collison, but DJ Augustin is just about as close to a carbon copy of Collison as you could get and you could argue that he is a better creator than DC.
So yeah we didn't get Eric Gordon and OJ Mayo and sign Steve Nash, but we had a pretty respectable offseason. Are we a markedly more talented team? Probably not, but do I think we are a little better put together? Yes, and I think we have a higher ceiling than we did on Wednesday before any of this went down.
-How do you not try to get at least a pick for DC? A pick could be helpful in the future. Didn't have to be a pick next year, but maybe 2 or 3 years out.
-On top of that, you sign Augustin for more money than what you were paying DC. He's smaller (so he's going to have trouble feeding the post), and he's a horrid shooter but better passer. I don't consider this an upgrade at all. I would say lateral, but the guy is making more than DC. I don't get this at all.
-Tyler is a bust and was the wrong pick when the Pacers needed a point and passed on 2 points that could have solved our problems in Lawson/Holiday. This hurts the longevity of the team, cause he's a wasted pick, and now they'll have to search for 2 PFs next year to replace West & Hans. Possibly having to use a 2013 pick on another big man that won't be ready for awhile.
-Plumlee was equally dumb. He's not even ready, so the Pacer's brass had to make another trade for a big man. If you take someone that's not ready, go for Moultrie/PJIII/Teague who all have way more upside.
Just blows my mind on the shortsightedness of the front office right now.
Gerald Green was a very nice pickup, but it's a high risk/high reward. I like these types of moves. Our starting 5 is set, so I would hope the Pacers make some bold moves for the bench.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Augustin is making more than DC next year, however DC's cap hold next offseason was going to start at 6.7 million like the article says. I think a lot of are being pretty hard on Augustin to say he's not a better scorer than DC. Collison has a huge problem of just not being aggressive at times, yes he did it in the playoffs, but I need to see it consistently out of him, and I am a guy that absolutely loved DC. Augustin we do not need to worry about that with, he will look for his shot and to create with that second unit.
As I had posted before the trade, Mahimni was / is the best backup option available. I am stoked for this deal. There is no doubt that the Mavs wasn't going to resign him. If we didn't offer what we did. He would be resign by Dallas. FA doesn't mean anything when a Player knows his team wants to resign him and the player would like to be resigned. This trade allowed the Pacers to get the guy they wanted without over paying, He has a very long manageable contract where Hibbert and Mahimni can continue to grow.
Also, on a side note, I think Plumlee will be a pleasant surprise to many of you. To have 7'2' Hibbert, 6'11" Mahimni, and 7' Plumlee for the next 4 years will be a real force. I can only hope they all stay healthy.

it's 5.7, or am i missing something. 250% of current salary.
i don't think it really matters for us (it matters for Dallas), we are very unlikely to have cap space summer. D-West would have to go. We will use exceptions.
but the key here is our ability to keep them all. it's not DC vs. DJ. unless we are misinformed about the salaries of all these new players, we could've had them all without this trade.
from asset point of view, it's better to have DC than not to have DC.
I think they wanted the cap to add another player (besides the ones we added).
Maybe they wanted to get rid of Dahntay but noone bit. So they packaged him with DC, feeling that the cap space/that mysterious player would be a better asset for this team.
I have always agreed with that approach. You put the best team, not necessarily starting lineup, in the court for 48 minutes that you are capable of manning. You stay in the upper echelon for as long as you possibly can and hope that is what will buy you opportunities for a championship through getting to the ECF as many times as you can.
You guys are missing the bigger point, which is that Hollinger has done a complete 180 on D.Jones.
This space for rent.
the Mavs didn't seem interested in a long term deal with Mahinmi. Mahinmi said so himself. They were focused on Kaman and other short term deals.
Who knows, you may be right, but the general perception / signs were different.
I will say that I liked that we picked up Mahimni, just would have preferred to have gotten something for DC since Mahimni was an UFA.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.

"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Yes, this specific trade was a loss but Dahntay and DC for Mahinmi, Green, and Augustin is an upgrade. Yes, we could have gotten a bit better value later, but I'm ok with the offseason as a whole.

You mean the Dallas approach of expending a bunch of money until winning a championship? the also have Dirk, we don't have anything close to that.Pacers need to take the Dallas Mavs approach. Be as good as you can for as long as you can. Tinker each year and we might come up with just the right mixture and win it all like the Mavs did in 2011. But being as good as you can be every year is huge, if the Pacers are good every year 50-58 wins it is much easier to acquire a player who just might push us over-the-top like Tyson Chandler did for the Mavs
The reality is that Cuban spent untold millions in luxury tax money, constantly taking on high priced contracts year after year. He'd make a trade that took in several pieces of overpriced junk from other teams in order to get 1 valued piece. He did this for 10 years and it eventually culminated in a team with the right pieces at the right time.
The Mavs and Knicks of the past decade were the closest things the NBA had to a franchise that spent money like the Yankees.
Yep I remember that Jkidd trade, Cuban ended up signing a guy that was already retired to make the trade happen, if I'm not mistaken he paid 7mil to that guy just to be part of the trade.
Not the other stuff you guys are talking about. Don't be difficult.
But that's not even the tip of the iceberg.
He once took on Tariq Abdul Wahad's obscene contract in order to get his hands on Raef Lafrentz, who he then gave a $70M extension to. And not only did he just amnesty the final 3 or 4 years of Haywood's contract, but in the previous CBA he amnestied the last 3 years and $51M of Michael Finley's deal. And there's even more examples of this type of obscene spending.
A big part of the Mavs' being that good for that long was having a superstar to go along with an owner who was more than willing to spend deep into luxury tax territory year after year.
EDIT: Just to add, I would love having Mark Cuban as my team's owner.

OK, OK, don't do it like the mavs. Do it like this. Be as good as you can for as long as you can. Tinker each year and we might come up with just the right mixture. But being as good as you can be every year is huge, if the Pacers are good every year 50-58 wins it is much easier to acquire a player who just might push us over-the-top
My approach is the same. If the Mavs part is tripping you up, OK don't do it like the mavs.
I got two words for you, Dirk Nowitzki, tinker the Pacers all you want but we still don't have a difference maker.
Also "tinkering the Dallas way" is way different than 'tinkering the Pacers way", the "Dallas way" requires expending a lot of money and going over the cap and the "Pacers way" requires to stay under the cap and get a bench player here and there.
I think he obviously meant "tax line" judging by the rest of the post.

Still A RedneckScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Mr. Redneck went to visit his hillbilly cousin Billy-Bob-Bubba Macory at his farm. When Mr. R arrived, he went into the barn and saw Bubba hard at work at his still.
"Bubba!" yelled Mr. R. "You swore an oath on your one good tooth that you had given up making moonshine!"
"Relax cuz, I have. This is ethanol I'm distilling for my trucks, not moonshine. It saves me a bundle, especially with a 120 L tank!" exclaimed Bubba.
When Bubba had finished filling his truck, he and Mr. R went into town to get some supplies. When they were done with their shopping, they returned to the truck only to find the gas cap on the ground and an empty 1L water bottle still stuck in the tank with a note attached that read, "Payback, signed Billy-Ray Hatfield."
"Oh great! I thought the feud was over. Now we're stuck here, and we'll never get back with a litre of water in the gas tank. I guess we'll have to siphon the tank dry before we can go anywhere," complained Mr. R.
"Don't fret, cuz, we'll make it back just fine. No need to worry," said Bubba.
Indeed they made it back with no troubles. But Mr. R couldn't figure out how they got back. He was sure that if there was that much water in the gas tank that the two liquids would separate, leaving water on the bottom, where the fuel pump was, and gasoline on top. Once the water reached the engine the truck would stall and likely not start again.
Why was the truck able to run with so much water in the fuel tank?
HintWhat type of fuel was he using?
AnswerBubba wasn't using ordinary gasoline. He told his cousin he was using ethanol as fuel. Gasoline and water don't mix just as oil and water don't mix, but water and alcohol mix just fine. The water would degrade the fuel's performance but wouldn't stop the truck from running.

General information about the Joinup platform.
In December 2014, ePractice.eu was migrated to the collaborative platform Joinup.
ePractice brought together policy makers and practitioners in the fields of eGovernment, eHealth and eInclusion, but it lacked the tools to support domain-specific re-usable solutions. Joinup, on the other hand, has communities of developers as well as communities of interest in specific domains and a catalogue of interoperability solutions. There are overlaps and synergies between interoperability for administration-to-administration information exchange on the one hand, and eGovernment, eHealth and eInclusion good practices on the other hand. We expect that both ePractice and Joinup users will benefit from the consolidation of the applications onto a single platform, which aims at providing a direct link between the solutions and the practitioners.
Joinup helps European public administrations set up efficient and effective cross-border and cross-sector electronic collaborations. It allows professionals to share interoperability solutions for public administrations and to find, choose, re-use and develop interoperability solutions.
All content that has been migrated from the former ePractice.eu is now available in the ePractice, eGovernment, eInclusion and eHealth communities on Joinup.
For more detailed information on the migration we kindly refer you to the updated FAQ page. If you do not find an answer to your question there, you can contact us via the Contact page, selecting the category ePractice migration.

A modelling competition at Trowbridge Civic Centre to support individuality and raise awareness of charity Stand Against Violence proved a big success.
The inaugural Future Faces competition, organised by events business Cow Parsley, was open to teenagers, with winners in two age categories.
The aspiring models all had catwalk training and a photo shoot with David McGirr Photography, and took part in a Stand Against Violence workshop with the charity's Warminster-based founder Adam Fouracre.
A fashion show was then put on by the teenagers to finish off the event, with entertainment from local musician Jet Luckhurst and students from Just So Dance in Westbury.
The judging panel declared Rebekka Thomas, 15, from Trowbridge, and Jade Padam, 17, from Calne, the overall winners, while Lucy Jackson, 14, from Westbury, and Kelly Leggat, 17, from Trowbridge, won the audience awards.
The winners each received an engraved picture frame, a full photo shoot and large print from David McGirr Photography of Warminster, as well as one month's membership for Castle Place Leisure Centre.
