Most disappointing thing of the day, mods closed Grangerous's thread before I got to say something snarky!!!
I guess you can tell David Aldridge he's wrong too.David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
Indy, per source, will give Hibbert the same terms that Portland was ready to give in offer sheet, & so won't technically "match" the sheet
That information certainly sounds more like Indiana was doing Portland a favor, than anyone negotiating with Hibbert.
Who says the Pacers can't contend for a title? We're putting our hopes in our own guys to improve, do we no longer believe Paul George is going to develop into a very good player? Or Hibbert will improve? Or even Hill and Collison? This is also the first time our guys have gotten a training camp with Frank Vogel and we're likely to sign a difference maker off of the bench.
We had the 5th best record in the NBA last season, and we're likely to leapfrog Chicago this year, Wade is declining, though still very good. IMO anyone that is a top 3 seed in their conference IS contending for a title, and we still have lots of room to grow, unlike most of the other more established top teams. Not resigning Roy was never an option, we'd instantly plop from a top team to a middling one.
Roy Roy is going to be one wealthy man. So who's going to suggest a little expansion with his section...AREA 18,165 :P
All those season tix is pocket change now lol
Won't go down without a fight eh?
How about a little common sense. Why would Indiana offer the exact same contract as Portland? If they're happy with Portland's exact same contract, they'll just tell Roy to sign the offer sheet and match in 3 days. No reason to do Portland a favor, when they might use their freed up space to drive up the price of our other FA targets.
Anyway Aldridge (and Wells) HAVE been wrong - they both thought Hibbert was signing Portland's offer sheet, and that's definitely been proven wrong. The problem is that journalists aren't making the fine distinctions that we're arguing about, and especially not in an informal medium like twitter.
I think that the reason that Roy would not sign the contract from Portland has less to do with doing a favor for Portland than it does giving ourselves more of a chance to sign other players...
Why would we be cordial to Portland? Why don't we chase RFA's? Same thing.
Also it allows us to be in more control of when Hill/Hibbert sign their contracts and allows us to use our cap space before hand if we so choose. It honestly just makes sense for all involved to do it that way.
If you want to apply common sense, if the Pacers were willing to give more money and negotiate something Roy liked better than the Portland offer, then why did they allow him to go as far as he did with Portland? Why not just offer more years and whatever to keep that from happening in the first place? Makes no sense. Why would you negotiate a contract that you weren't willing to offer before, now that you don't have to?

I interpreted "same terms" as same money total over 4 years, I would assume the Pacers would spread the yearly dollar amount out in way that better suits them rather the front loaded contract reported. I guess time will tell.
But your statement here alone was the entire point of Roy not signing the offer sheet, something that you said wasn't possible. The Pacers have more control by getting Roy to sign with them and not with POR. It's simple, you made a mistake, no big deal.
This ^^^
Roy signing with us gives us more time to pursue other FA's before his deal would eat up our cap space.
"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
My guess is that Pacers weren't sure that they wanted to commit to 4 years/$58m before. But now that they have, it makes sense to do a years vs money tradeoff, assuming Hibby is willing to play ball.
But yeah, that's something that seems blindingly obvious to me but that no one else seems to accept. If it turns out I'm wrong, I'd be happy to admit it. Just as I let go of my argument when Wells "confirmed" that Hibbert was signing with Portland. If Hibbert does sign for 5 years though, I'm going to post "I TOLD YOU SO"s all over the freaking forum
so, has everyone gotten off the ledge / put away the knives now?
So, As I have said, there was no agreement with Roy and Portland. Simply Portland offering an offer sheet.
So, Falk is not damned by anyone cause his client didn't hold up to his side of an agreement, cause there wasn't ever an agreement to begin with.
I just had to get that out here to the ones that was trippin and putting words out there that wasn't even out.
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
Also, I'm happy that Roy will be here, just wish it was for a little less. Might still happen, but I doubt it!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
So Pritchard let the Blazers think they were going to get him, fly him out there, only for Pritchard to stop Hibbert at the gate and make Paul Allen waste a plane ticket.
Probably the best Pritch-Slap possible. He's been planning that one since he was fired in Portland. Take that, Paul Allen!
So Roy was getting ready to fly to Portland to go through the physical and paperwork for an agreement that didn't exist? I may have been wrong that he would sign the offer sheet, but you're certainly wrong that there wasn't an agreement.
Also, no Falk won't be condemned for anything because all parties agreed to bypass the offer sheet.
Yeah, it's in all parties' interest to forego the offer sheet.
Roy because he helps the Pacers get more players, doesn't get the negative press from signing with another team, and gets the same money either way.
Pacers because it helps them sign other players.
Blazers because it helps them sign other players/re-sign Batum.
And, for the record, our front office essentially put on a clinic on how to negotiate with a RFA:
1.) Present low ball offer
2.) Allow the market to set his value (Portland)
3.) Weigh offer and declare willingness to match if deemed in the organization's interest
4.) Revisit negotiations of initial offer (got lucky here)
Of course, one would have preferred Roy to have taken less money to begin with but alas, that is not how it works.

This is just simply not true. Sports agents are only concerned about putting their clients in the best position to make the most money. If Roy was to flake out on Portland he would just simply tell them that is client has changed his mind. There is no perceived failure on the agents part, the agent is not working for or with the team.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
All parties agreed to bypass the offer sheet...LOL!
There isn't an offer sheet to sign cause the Pacers and Hibbert agree on resigning a new Contract. This party you speak of doesn't include Portland. Portland has no control or right to Roy and never did. Portland and Roy had no agreement. Portland was simply putting an offer sheet on the table and Hibbert can either sign it or not. As far as going to Portland to get a physical, my god man, that is standard procedure.
An intent to sign an offer sheet that a team has committed to do for said player is a one way commitment unless the player verbally agrees to sign. The intent for a player to possibly sign an offer sheet that is to be given to him is not an agreement. Multiple teams may put offer sheets on the table for the same player and each team will want said player to have a physical done before the offer sheet hits the table.
I hope you take the time to read this and understand for future RFA periods. It may keep you from having a headache!
Have a nice night BP
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
I agree with this part:
In other words, Hibbert isnt a franchise-changing superstar, but hes a fine two-way center, and those are worth big money. I might be wrong, but Id wager today that the Pacers are more likely to regret paying Hill $40 million over five years than paying Hibbert $58 million over four.

They always release their pre-patches around a month before the expansion. I don't see how they could have avoided being close to the release date of GW2.

It only invites flaming, game vs. game arguments and so on. Closing it before this thread goes places.

Tale of Two Banks: Wells Fargo Downgraded, Signature Upgraded
Moderating earnings growth means Wells Fargo stock will probably tread water in the months ahead, but Signature Bank's loan portfolio strength should help boost its shares, according to two analyst reports out today.
Sterne Agee downgraded Wells Fargo (WFC) shares, which declined fractionally to $40.89 in morning trading. Analyst Todd Hagerman moved the stock to Neutral from Buy, but maintained his $42 price target. He writes that the stock deserves a premium valuation with a relatively benign risk profile, and that Wells Fargo "continues to redeploy 50-60% of earnings via dividends and share repurchases," but the stock looks fairly valued and meaningful outperformance isn't in the cards:
"... earnings growth is clearly moderating into '14. The slowing momentum is only exacerbated by the stubbornly low rate environment and normalizing mortgage banking revenues. With the shares trading at 10.2x '14 EPS, our sense is that meaningful multiple expansion from current levels is unlikely. Our price target of $42 remains unchanged and implies 10.5x our 2014E of $4.00 and 1.5x our 2014 estimated tangible book value. We are fine-tuning our 2Q13 estimate to account for slightly lower loan loss provision, although our '13 and '14 estimates remain unchanged at $3.65 and $4.00, respectively. .. To rationalize material upside to the current price target, we would need to muster earnings in excess of $4.75/share ... at the very top of its 1.3%-1.6% ROAA guidance, which we envision the company achieving by 2015 at the earliest."
As colleage Michael Aneiro noted this morning, the Wall Street Journal reports the volume of residential mortgage refinancings is plunging as mortgage interest rates rise. For Wells Fargo, 68% of first quarter mortgage business was refinancings, while it was 87% for Bank of America/Merrill Lynch (BAC), 90% for Citigroup (C) and 77% for J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM).
Meanwhile, shares of Signature Bank (SBNY) were rising 1.3% in morning trading, following an upgrade from BMO Capital Markets. Analysts Lana Chan and Peter Winter boosted their rating on the stock from Market Perform to Outperform, and raised their price target from $78 to $90, for upside of roughly 14% from the current price near $78.80.
BMO says Signature is well positioned in the industry, given its ability to hire private client banking teams away from competitors and to maintain premium pricing in the loan market. The stock's 2.2 times price-to-book value is ahead of its peers, but Chan and Winter note that Signature deserves a premium valuation, given above-average earnings and revenue growth estimates.
They write that for banks overall, given the risk for "softer-than-expected loan growth, margin pressure and lower mortgage banking revenues, we are forecasting continued revenue weakness for the banks. We still think the group has room to offset some of the revenue weakness with tighter control of expenses and lower credit related costs." But they add that there is considerable disparity among bank loans, and they are thus "forecasting a modest seasonal pickup in loan growth for the regional bank group in 2Q. Although we lowered our 2Q forecast to 3.7% (was 4.2%), the Fed H.8 data poses downside risks."
"The slowdown in loan growth is driven by softer C&I loan growth, as well as weakness in RRE and consumer lending. On the positive side, CRE is on pace to expand modestly for the third straight quarter. Banks with the most CRE exposure are New York Community Bancorp (NYCB), Signature Bank, Cathay General (CATY), and Zions Bancorp (ZION)."
Signature also has one of the highest returns on equity in the group, and shares have slightly outpaced the broader market in the past year, up 29%.

ISSAQUAH, Wash. Costco has commented on video showing the mistreatment of some young animals saying: "The company had not been aware of the issue before we saw the video. We are extremely disappointed, not only with the performance of our supplier in this instance, but with our own performance as well. We hold ourselves to a high standard, and in this case, we plainly did not perform to that standard."
Costco said it is in the process of developing a more definitive written policy to make clear its long-standing position that any type of cruel treatment of animals is unacceptable. All of Costco's suppliers are aware that Costco insists upon ethical treatment of all animals involved in producing products for sale in its warehouses, without exception, the company said. Costco said it has an inspection program to ensure that its suppliers are in compliance with its standards, but in this case that inspection program did not uncover the problem. The company said it takes full responsibility for this error. It will increase its vigilance in the future to see that its policies are adhered to by all of Costco's suppliers, the company reported.

Photo Gallery: Amazing Attic Spaces
Smart ways to spruce up a garret.
A Small Backyard Transformation
A soft, almost-white green on the walls lends a serene vibe.
Homeowner Heidi Smith chose a standout pendant light for this attic bedroom, drawing the eye upward toward the beamed ceilings. White bedding with hints of subdued pattern is in keeping with the neutral palette of the cottage.
Pull-out drawers and fixed shelving offer organizational versatility.
A clever mix of ready-made cabinets and custom closets makes the most of an awkwardly angled ceiling in an attic principal suite. Recessing the custom work by a couple of inches nicely camouflages the change between custom and ready-made materials. With the hardware kept to a bare minimum, the effect is one of elegant simplicity, inside and out.
For more design and decorating ideas, browse our Amazing Attics photo gallery.
Glossy floor paint contrasts elegantly with the raw wood of the rafters.
Homeowner and stylist Deb Nelson revitalized two bed frames, hand-me-downs from her great aunt, with a coat of white paint and cheap and cheerful bed linens.
A hide rug anchors a small space.
Homeowner and stylist Deb Nelson eked out a work area in the attic's guest bedroom by tucking a table she made herself below the eaves.
Give floors a fun and thematic paint treatment.
Decorating a child's bedroom with festive regatta decorations adds youthful charm. Bunting flags can be store-bought or handmade to suit a personal colour scheme using fabric and ribbon. Coordinating accessories, bedding and paint colours give this area a cohesive feel. The flags on the floor further the light-hearted mood.
For more cheap and chic cottage decorating ideas, visit our photo gallery.
Old saddles draw attention to gorgeous old beams.
The unique scale in this room, combined with original wood features, an antique cradle and horse saddles give this space fairytale charm. The ladder is a book lover's delight and an orange-red rug adds to the cosiness.
A small attic makes the perfect guest room.
Tucked into the top floor of the 2009 Princess Margaret showhome, this small room can easily accommodate a guest for a short stay. A low daybed was the right choice for this narrow space. A desk placed near the window is practical for guests who wish to unpack their luggage and can be used by family members as a home office when the room isn't occupied.

Double the impact of a chandelier by reflecting it in a mirror.
The designers, Queensbridge Mill, tackled the size of this tiny attic space by installing wall-to-wall mirror to give a feeling of expansiveness. The bold raspberry and platinum palette, in the shimmery hydrangea wallpaper and sofa upholstery, imbues a warm richness.
For more design and decorating ideas, browse our Amazing Attics photo gallery.
Floating shelves provide storage without visually eating up space.
To create a sense of escapism in this small study, designer Timothy Mather reworked it to feel like a 1930s luxury ocean liner or yacht. To maintain the illusion of being at sea, he concealed the original paned window with back-painted glass framing a translucent "porthole." To amplify the light from a skylight above, he applied aluminum-leaf squares to the walls; the pale blue paint underneath softens the effect. A Jean-Michel Frank-inspired daybed upholstered in caramel ostrich-look vinyl is topped with a plush silk railroad-quilted cushion.

A cottage guest room outfitted with trundle beds is perfect for visiting children.
Tucking one bed into a dormer creates a cosy reading nook and a perch to take in views of Georgian Bay.
A spacious and airy attic.
The dramatic window in this principal bedroom is softened with a simple white curtain. Exposed rafters and wide, rugged pine-plank flooring are warm touches in the airy, unadorned room. The vintage Marimekko stripe on the bed is a crisp, modern accent.
Watch a video tour of this home, or more design and decorating ideas, browse our Amazing Attics photo gallery.
A beamed ceiling and white panelling offer a classic country look.
The open ceiling in this principal bedroom enhances the airiness of the bright white space. Natural linen bedding gives the bed a soft, slightly rumpled European look. Mosquito netting is a charming accent — and a practical touch in the country.
A Gothic-style headboard creates a strong focal point.
This second floor bedroom was formally unused attic space. By adding a shed dormer, this new country-style room boasts a spacious layout and architectural interest.
Tailored lighting and rugs grant this room a crisp, preppy air.
Here, designer Scott Yetman created a space that was playful yet sophisticated. "Kids grow up fast, so keep their rooms fun, but not too childish," he suggests. Instead of bringing colour through the bedding, he chose blue bed frames to contrast against the wall panelling.

Boston — Raley's Family of Fine Stores, a privately held supermarket chain with a presence in Northern California and Nevada, has partnered with BzzAgent, the social marketing arm of Dunnhumby, to develop the first grocery retailer advocacy online platform to further enhance its new loyalty program, Something Extra.
"Try-It" allows Raley's to reward their best customers with exclusive access to new products based on products that they already purchase. Activities encourage consumers to share opinions and provide recommendations with Raley's and other shoppers through face-to-face conversations and across Facebook, Twitter and the entire social web. This approach to social marketing fosters advocacy and more intimate engagement with the Raley's brand.
Once customers initiate their Something Extra Try-It account, and begin completing surveys, they will receive "Try-It Kits" with selected product samples and will be encouraged to talk about their product experiences with friends and family.
"Something Extra Try-It is truly groundbreaking. Social marketing is important for Raley's and this program helps us identify our best customers online and reward them with experiences they'll want to share with their friends in social media and in person," said David Palmer, VP marketing and consumer relationships, Raley's.

The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene 1 (WT1) encodes for a transcription factor which plays an important role during urogenital development. Patients carrying a WT1 germline mutation show symptoms like proteinuria, Wilms tumors, genital malformations and kidney failure, which usually occur in early childhood. Milder variants are possible and classification as one of the three rare syndromes associated with WT1 mutations (Denys-Drash syndrome, Frasier syndrome or WAGR syndrome) is not always possible. In this registry we are collecting detailed clinical data of affected individuals to establish genotype-phenotype correlations with the greater goal to optimize patient care.

For areas where fireworks are allowed, here are some safety tips from tntfireworks.com:
Only light fireworks on a hard flat and level surface to ensure stability. If you decide to set off fireworks on grass, use a wooden board.
When selecting an area, make sure it's clear of structures, vehicles, dry grass, brush and other flammable items.
Spectators should stand back at least 25-40 feet for fireworks that stay on the ground and 100 yards for anything that shoots into the air.
When lighting fireworks, wear safety glasses and never put your head or any other part of your body over it.
Perhaps most importantly, keep water everywhere. A garden hose, water bucket and fire extinguisher could come in handy, if something goes wrong.
For a full list of TNT's tips, visit tntfireworks.com/safety.
Fireworks can be legally purchased in Palmdale, a number of San Gabriel Valley cities and in areas that are south of Los Angeles.
For a full list, log onto: ca-fireworks.presskit247.com/.
Legal fireworks will bear the official "Safe&Sane" label of the state fire marshall, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Prosecutors and police are cracking down on firework sales in Los Angeles, arresting four dealers and seizing 1,000 pounds of product since last week, officials said Friday.
The dragnet, targeting retailers who sell fireworks in Los Angeles, will continue through the Fourth of July and beyond, as part of an effort led by City Attorney Mike Feuer.
"What distinguishes today is we're trying to take these out of the hands of any individual who would shoot them off in the first place by interdicting their sale," Feuer said.
Selling or even simply possessing fireworks in Los Angeles is illegal. While sparklers and other types of less powerful fireworks — called "safe and sane" — can be legally bought in cities and unincorporated areas throughout the county, people caught with them inside Los Angeles' city limits face a fine of between $500 and $10,000 depending on the quantity, Feuer said.
"We're going to go to the fullest extent of the law," Feuer said of his plans to prosecute firework offenses.
For illegal dealers, the penalties are even stiffer. Minh Nhut Lieu faces up to one year in jail and $21,000 in fines after police seized 580 pounds of fireworks from his store, New Great Wall, during efforts to root out fireworks in Chinatown and the Toy District, according to Feuer's office.
Much of the Southland's illegal fireworks come from Nevada, TNT Fireworks spokesman Dennis Revell said.
Smugglers legally buy the high-powered devices in California's neighbor to the east, sneak them across state lines and sell them to novices who lack the licensing and knowledge to legally use them here, he said.
"They're responsible for all the problems here," Revell said. "Those people should be facing federal prosecution."
But despite a 2008 California law that was penned to target firework smugglers, enforcement efforts at the state level have been few and far between, Revell said.
"Unfortunately little or nothing is being done to prevent these products from coming into California," Revell said. "As a result, local fire departments and law enforcement agencies are not only the first line of defense, they're the only line of defense."
Once smuggled into California, illegal fireworks can fetch three to five times their initial purchase price, Paul Robi, a detective assigned to the Los Angeles Police Department's bomb squad, said.
But the dangers of buying illegal fireworks, Robi said, can extend far beyond the normal risks associated with setting off the same type of product that's legally purchased.
Illegal fireworks are often mishandled in transport and improperly stored making them more volatile, Robi said. Entire garages have exploded, he said.
"It's just a recipe for disaster," he said.
Amplifying the threat this Fourth of July is the drought, which has dried out brush and plant life — and could easily ignite if touched by an errant firework.
"The drought conditions we're in make us extremely vulnerable to illegal fireworks," interim Los Angeles Fire Chief James Featherstone said.
Even safe and sane fireworks, which are illegal in Los Angeles but fine for use in other L.A. County cities, pose a hazard to people, he said.
Anyone wishing to safely forfeit their fireworks can do so at fire stations throughout the city, Featherstone said.

On Twitter: Reporter Joe Nelson tweeted live from the courthouse @SBCountyNow
Related stories: Inland Empire terror plot thickens | Feds arrest four Inland Empire men in terrorism plot | Terror plot reporting via Twitter
Documents: FBI press release | Criminal complaint
RIVERSIDE - A federal magistrate judge on Monday denied bail for a Riverside man accused of plotting with three other men to participate in terrorist activity against the U.S. overseas.
Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym said during the brief bond hearing in U.S. District Court that she had reviewed the complaint against Arifeen David Gojali, 21, and determined he didn't qualify for bail given the circumstances of his alleged crimes.
"I do specifically find the defendant poses a serious risk of flight and a serious risk to others," Pym said. "It is therefore ordered that the defendant be detained prior to trial."
Pym remanded Gojali to the custody of the U.S. Marshal. He is being housed in the federal holding wing of the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino along with defendants Ralph Deleon, 23, of Ontario, and Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales, 21, of Upland.
The three were arrested Nov. 16 in Chino. A fourth defendant and the suspected ringleader, 34-year-old Sohiel Omar Kabir, formerly of Pomona, was arrested the same day in Afghanistan by the FBI and Army Special Forces. He awaits extradition to California.
Deleon, Santana and Gojali had purchased plane tickets to fly to Afghanistan and were planning to depart within a few days when they were arrested.
Federal prosecutors allege in a criminal complaint that Kabir recruited the other three defendants to join al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan to carry out terrorist acts on government facilities overseas, kill or injure members of the U.S. armed forces, and to use weapons of mass destruction outside the United States.
Kabir, an Afghanistan native who was honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force in 2001 after serving less than two years, had already traveled to Afghanistan and was arranging contacts with terrorist organizations at the time of his arrest, authorities said.
Authorities launched their investigation in January after federal border patrol agents found al-Qaida propaganda in Santana's possession as he entered the U.S. from Mexico. He had a printout of "Inspire," an English language online magazine reported to be published by al-Qaida and aims to find recruits for al-Qaida inside the U.S. and Europe.
FBI agents learned during their investigation that the defendants had allegedly honed their sharpshooting skills at paintball/air soft facilities across the Inland Empire including Corona and Chino.
Gojali will next appear in court on Dec. 5 for arraignment. His attorney, John Aquilina, declined to comment following Monday's hearing.
Gojali's girlfriend, Tracy Nguyen, said she was at a loss for words.
"I don't know what to say," Nguyen said outside the courtroom following the hearing.
The petite and timid Nguyen wouldn't discuss the allegations against her boyfriend or respond when asked if she was aware of his alleged plans to embark for Afghanistan to engage in terrorist training. She did say she was the first person Gojali called after his arrest.
"He's a really good guy," was all Nguyen could manage to say before exiting the court and sprinting off as a throng of television reporters approached her.

Integrated Regulatory Review Service
The IAEA Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) is designed to strengthen and enhance the effectiveness of the national regulatory infrastructure of States for nuclear, radiation, radioactive waste and transport safety and security of radioactive sources whilst recognizing the ultimate responsibility of each State to ensure safety in the above areas. This expressed purpose of the IRRS is to be accomplished through consideration of both regulatory technical and policy issues, with comparisons against IAEA safety standards and where appropriate, good practices elsewhere.
The IAEA offers several review services to Member States. Thus to avoid any potential overlap of the topics addressed by such services (which cover wide-ranging thematic areas) the IAEA has developed the IRRS to offer an integrated approach to the review of common aspects of any state's national, legal and governmental framework and regulatory infrastructure for safety. The IRRS regulatory review process provides the opportunity for peer review of both regulatory technical and policy issues in any state regardless of the level of development of its activities and practices involving ionizing radiation or nuclear programme, and enables an objective comparison of the national regulatory infrastructure against IAEA Standards and Guidance. The IRRS evaluates as objectively as possible, the state's regulatory infrastructure for safety with respect to these standards and practices, and provides recommendations and suggestions for improvement. An expert peer review of the current extent of compliance with IAEA Standards provides a good indicator of the effectiveness of the regulatory oversight of nuclear, radiation, radioactive waste and transport safety. An IRRS mission addresses all relevant areas, facilities and activities regulated in the state, with a follow-up IRRS mission no more than four years later to review progress in implementing the suggestions and recommendations of the initial IRRS mission. Preparation for the IRRS mission includes a self-assessment conducted by the state in accordance with the IAEA Self-Assessment Methodology. The IRRS mission is an IAEA coordinated peer review conducted by a team of international reviewers led by a senior regulator from a Member State. The review is structured to lead to the identification of areas for improvement and the formulation by the host country, of an action plan to address identified deficiencies. A follow-up mission is undertaken in due course, by which the host country and IRRS Review Team assess progress in implementing the recommendations and suggestions in the period since the initial review. The IRRS follow-up mission also provides the opportunity for the IAEA, international reviewers and host country to identify additional technical and policy issues for review, to identify further good practices and through feedback, provide input for the review of IAEA safety standards.
The IRRS Process
The IRRS process consists of the following phases:
- Pre-mission or preparatory phase (including information meeting, preparatory meeting and self-assessment)
- Conduct of the peer review mission (including completion and dissemination of the mission report)
- Follow-up mission

Hi guys, I'm starting to learn HTML5 in my sch now. But yea.. my lecturer suck at explaining.
just wondering if div container still relevant? for exmaple code 1 vs code 2, which one is recommended way of coding it and why?

In that particular case, I'm struggling to see a reason for including the
, unless you need it as an extra styling hook (given that we can't yet rely on multiple backgrounds working). This is a perfect example of divitis – just putting
s in for the sake of it, when they don't do anything and aren't needed.
On the other hand, there are plenty of cases where a
 will still be needed in HTML5, where there is no suitable alternative container to use.
On the other hand, there are plenty of cases where a
 will still be needed in HTML5, where there is no suitable alternative container to use.
As Stevie said, unless there is a really good reason for extra hooks, all you need is
Both the
 and the  are pointless—at least at this stage, where nav basically adds nothing of value. (Maybe one day it will provide useful semantics to some devices, but I don't think it does yet.)
well, after some researching, nav seems pointless but actually it is useful. It somehow tell your browser which portion they are looking. Not sure what is the benefit though. And yes, div is actually no point to put.
Thanks guys!
I thought nav was good for screen-readers and such stuff. No? Let the blind know that the following list of links is for navigating the site?
But anyway, in the OP second example, there's a redundancy to have the nav inside the div, because the nav functions as a div itself already. It's just putting one div inside another div, when structurally, given the first example, all that's necessary is one div. It'd be like drawing a square, and then drawing a second square with the exact same position and dimensions on top of the first one, and when someone looks at it and thinks it's one square, you insist no no no, it's two squares with the same dimensions and position. If it acts like one div, looks like one div, you don't need a nav and a div. Choose one or the other.
But as a general question, I think divs are still relevant. Just not for nav, because nav is it's own div now.
Maybe one day, but not yet. HTML5 isn't finished yet, so it will be a while before user agents take it really seriously ... so we have years to wait.
When I'm looking at an html doc, I prefer to see  than
 though, regardless of screen readers.
And how do you feel whan you see <ul id="nav">? That is, proper code.
<ul id="nav">
I feel fine about that as well, but I think for many people, their vision for their site is translated more readily into creating a new div/nav before putting a
 in there. I know I visually think in divs.
It's worth knowing at least that it's completely unnecessary. A
 is a block level element around your
s, so nothing else is needed. If you want extra semantics for assistive technologies, you can currently add role="navigation":

When I'm looking at an html doc, I prefer to see  than
 though, regardless of screen readers.
This usage of  is fine. Ralph is saying that those tags don't add any practical value to browsers or users yet.If you prefer seeing things like
 and
 it's fine to start using them.
I've found that the different tags do make them stick out in the HTML so it can help readability of the code, that's the only real benefit of the tags though at this stage.
Not disagreeing with you, although I mostly look at code via browser inspectors, where the fewer nested elements, the easier it is to read and study code. Endless nesting of divs and other elements is a real pain.
Someone from one of the WG's posted a screenshot (of view-source) of some site on twitter. It was divitis, except made of
 tags. It was lawlz.
Sectionitis sounds like a more serious disease though. Prolly gives you cancer.
Doesn't quite roll off the tongue like "divitis", but prolly a word we will have to get used to. There seems to be a tendency to use more sections that there would have been divs, often, which is going to prove a nightmare for stylings. I found myself having to help a member the otter day with something like section section section section.class. :rolleyes: (I wonder if this is what the Mayans meant by the end of the world.)
section section section section.class
Unless you still need to support IE8...
Of course, there are JS libs that can make IE8 recognize those new markup elements, but that brings us back to "no practical value."
Yeah just the other day I realised this doesn't work (looking up syntax did not tell me anything, because they did not actually post real syntax, only an example of code... this was the one time where I would have rather seen syntax):
This'll create "header" but not the others. No, each has to be listed separately.document.createElement(header);document.createElement(nav);document.createElement(aside);document.createElement(footer);
Then you have to display: block them.
Then you have something. Something browsers still see as spans styled like blocks. The only software I know of who's even started seeing any meaning in the new tags yet are some screen readers, and they're still working on that (basically, a "nav" element will get an intrinsic role of "navigation" so the screen reader is reading the browser's output to AT when the browser tells the AT about the element.
Steve Faulkner recently posted a screen shot of some info given to AT about an element (this is an example of a proposed new element, ):
For me, this is the only value these new tags give us. Well, that and also some more freedom with styling and Javascript.

Let me describe the problem:
I have a FlexRIO (5751+7961) in a PXI system with a PXIe-8133 RT controller. (LabView 2011 SP1)
The 5751 writes every 100µs data in a DMA FIFO and the RT controller reads it every 100µs.
But after reading it in the RT controller several spikes occur as shown in the attached figure.
The FPGA is also attached.
I tried many things, I really think that the spikes come from the DMA FIFO.
Can somebody help me?
Solved! Go to Solution.
ADC_StartConv is a PXI Trigger line. Every 100µs it triggers the measurement
Could you please attach the Project as ZIP so i can check on both, the FPGA and the RT Host VIs where the Datalogging takes place.
One thing that hit my eye was that you have a For loop with 3 iterations, but standard tunnels for the data so only the last iterations values are written.
furthermore I was wondering why you write to the FIFO with 100µs and also read with 100µs because you usually would aquire at a high rate but only read bigge blocks at a lower rate.
In this case I would suspect a problem with Reading and writing into the buffer like this, Did you observe overflow and underflow statusbits?
Using DMA FIFO to Develop High-Speed Data Acquisition Applications for Reconfigurable I/O Devices
Hi Alex Pi,
thank you for the fast answer!
I could mail you the whole project in 2 days, when I am back in my office... But I have to say that it is a big project.
About the 3 iterations: This was only a try, it calculated the mean value. I deleted it.
And the 100µs: It is a research project and we are controlling a motor. The FlexRIO acquires data, does some signal preprocessing and sends it to the realtime controller. The control loop is in the realtime part, because we want to do many changes there.
Yes, I am observing the error cluster in the RT part. Underflow (error code: -50400) and I am always ckecking, that Elements Remaining = 0.
It looks like it could be an underflow. I observed also another thing: The spike occurs when the raw data (I32) passes through zero.(The posted picture is already offset corrected.) I tried to find a data conversion problem without success.
the raw data type is I16
If the project as a whole is too big, seeing the portion of the host VI where you read from the DMA FIFO would be helpful.
I would be very surprised if the DMA FIFO was contributing to the bad values as it simply copies whatever values you put in. You can try testing this with your current configuration by replacing the FPGA I/O node with a constant or other known value and write that to the DMA FIFO instead. Do you have any other instrument that can read the signal you're reading into the FPGA?
05-02-2012 02:44 AM - edited 05-02-2012 02:45 AM
yes, please upload the Host vi, the fpga vi and the project file so we can see the config settings, if the whole of the project is to large.
Thank you for your idea. I replaced one FPGA I/O with a constant and now I don't think anymore that it is the DMA FIFO.
But we have still the same problem.
Is it possible that the I/O need an I/O device clock to work? Is it OK how i use it? (In the oscilloscope examples the I/O are always used in a timed clock...)
We are reading the signal also with a tektronix oscillope and we have also a box (NI SMB-2145) to connect the FPGA to an signal generator. We get the spikes also in this, so I definitely have a software problem.
I attached the project file, the FPGA program and the RT part. In the RT part I used a probe to check the execution of the case structures. Elements Remaining is only on the first iteration bigger than 0 and the other case structure is never executed.
I think that the spikes come from the FPGA I/O because in the FPGA program the indicator "Oulier FPGA" is counting the spikes.
Do you have an idea what i could try next?
finally we found a solution!!
I don't know why, but the problem was the FPGA VI. We did it like it is done in the NI5751 oscilloscope example with a state machine.
Maybe the I/O need the IO Module Clock 0 to work.
Thank you anyway!!
hazardous a écrit :
Maybe the I/O need the IO Module Clock 0 to work.
It DOES! This Clock, provide by the module, ensure that when calll the IO Node, there is a new value convert and available after the ADC.
Without this clock the IO node is call asynchronously at the top level clock.

Broadway Across Canada and producers Thomas Schumacher of Disney Theatrical Productions and Cameron Mackintosh present MARY POPPINS, Calgary's most eagerly awaited stage production, beginning performances at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditoriumon tonight, July 31 at 8 p.m. for a limited engagement of one week through Sunday, August 5.
With four productions currently running on three continents, MARY POPPINS is one of the biggest stage musical successes to emerge from London or New York in recent years. Worldwide to date, the show has grossed over $644 million and welcomed 9.3 million guests. The musical is the winner of 44 major theatre awards around the globe, including Tony, Olivier, Helpmann and Evening Standard awards.
The entire original creative team has reunited to bring this magical story of the world's most famous nanny to audiences around North America. The MARY POPPINS North American Tour began performances on March 25, 2009 and has played to two million delighted theatergoers in 34 cities to date.
MARY POPPINS, a co-production of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh, opened on Broadway on November 16, 2006. Based on P.L. Travers' cherished stories and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film, MARY POPPINS the stage play features the Academy Award®-winning music and lyrics of Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. The stage production has been created, in collaboration with Cameron Mackintosh, by Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes, who has written the book, and the Olivier Award-winning team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, who have composed new songs and additional music and lyrics.
Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre leads the award-winning creative team, with co-direction and choreography by Tony and Olivier Award winner Matthew Bourne. MARY POPPINS features set and costume design by Tony Award winner Bob Crowley, co-choreography by Olivier Award winner Stephen Mear, lighting design by Howard Harrison, orchestrations by William David Brohn, and music supervision by David Caddick. The tour's creative team includes Tour Director Anthony Lyn, Associate Choreographer Geoffrey Garrett, and Music Director Daniel Bowling.
MARY POPPINS received its worldwide premiere at the Prince Edward Theatre in the West End in December 2004. Following its successful three-year London run, the production launched an acclaimed U.K. tour. The Broadway production of MARY POPPINS officially opened at the New Amsterdam Theatre on November 16, 2006, recouping its initial Broadway investment within 52 weeks of its premiere. MARY POPPINS is the only show from the 2006-2007 theatrical season still in performance. The MARY POPPINS North American tour has garnered continuous critical praise and achieved box office success since its launch in Chicago in March 2009. MARY POPPINS can also be seen in Sydney, Australia (at the Capitol Theatre). Productions of MARY POPPINS have also been mounted in Finland, Denmark and the Czech Republic.

Before running Prime95 - System was playing Skyrim and then idle for a few hours afterwards. Has been on for well over 12 hours at this point.
During Prime95 after about 25 minutes into the test, maximum heat test.
Considering the room temperature is 69*F (21*c), I think the temperatures before and after are actually pretty damn good, everything about the system at this point is stock, including heat-sink/fans. These are just preliminary readings before I put any overclock on this chip to see how far it goes and compare it to the temps idle/load with an OC. I have not messed with adding the assist fan, but multiple reviews showed that the thermal armor that comes on this motherboard is hands down better for cooling than when they take it off, as long as you have downward blowing air (from the CPU) or an assist fan. I plan on running both and charting the differences in temp to see if its possible to create too much positive pressure below the TUF armor, in turn causing overheating... Stay tuned

Authorities have charged a Washington man with Tuesday's robbery at Hall's Pharmacy on Highway A at Krakow.
Matthew J. Florence, 24, is charged in a felony warrant issued Friday morning with first-degree pharmacy robbery and theft of a controlled substance, which are prosecuted under a specific statute related to pharmacy crimes, authorities said.
Florence was taken into custody Thursday afternoon and is being held in the county jail on a $150,000 cash-only bond.
Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke said an anonymous tip led investigators to an apartment in the 1000 block of East Fifth Street and during questioning later Florence confessed to committing the holdup.
The robbery occurred about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday. The robber entered the pharamacy, walked around, then left only to return within minutes and ordered a clerk to hand over narcotics. The man claimed to have a gun, but no weapon was displayed.
During questioning Thursday, Florence told detectives that he did not have weapon.
No Second Suspect
Florence also told detectives that he acted alone in the robbery and that no one else was involved.
Florence said when he left the pharmacy he drove to a home on Country Club Lane, which is off of Country Club Road, the sheriff said.
Approximately half of the narcotics — Percocet pills — were recovered, according to the report.
Earlier Story
Investigators located a note pad inside the apartment. Imprints on the pad indicated that a note had been written on the pad. The word imprints on the pad were the same words contained on a note given to the employee at the pharmacy during the robbery, according to Toelke.
A large scale manhunt is still ongoing as of Thursday morning for a man who robbed a Krakow business shortly before 2 p.m. Tuesday.
The man claimed to be armed when he robbed Hall's Pharmacy, Sheriff Gary Toelke said, but the sheriff could not confirm if a weapon was displayed.
The pharmacy is located in a small shopping center on Highway A near Country Club Road.
The suspect demanded narcotics and fled with an undetermined number of Percocet pills, the sheriff said.
The man was described as a white male in his 20s or 30s with dark hair and athletic build. He is about 5 feet, 10 inches tall and was wearing an olive shirt, light-colored shorts and carrying a white bag, the sheriff said.
Leaves, Returns
Lt. Steve Elliott said the man entered the pharmacy and left, then came back in and committed the robbery. He ran out and across Highway A to a waiting car.
The suspect was last seen driving away in a blue, four-door "sporty" car with slotted wheels. The driver fled north on Highway A and turned east onto Country Club Road, the sheriff said.
Investigators found some evidence at the scene including a new gold and black ball cap, the man's shirt and an Ace bandage, also recently purchased, the sheriff said.
As a precaution, deputies contacted administrators at St. Gertrude School, Krakow, and at Clearview School to be on alert, Toelke said.

I received color samples printed on card stock when I got my 5 invite samples. We fell in love with the plum ink on ecru, but it appears very brown/rusty when printed as text and flowers. I wish the flowers had been able to be made a different color than the text, too, but it is what it is. The print finish was very clean and very nice. I have noticed no flaws.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
What I liked about the product was the boxes they came in.They were very sturdy. The quality of the invitation was OK. There were no extra invitations. It costs almost the same price to order 25 extra invittions (smallest number for reorder) as 100 invitations even though they already have your information. The invitations did not look as nice as they were on the website.

Michael Dunford of Renaissance Dies
Renaissance, the much-beloved British band that combined rock, progressive and folk, lost one of its longest-serving members on Tuesday (Nov. 20). Guitarist Michael Dunford passed away after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage while dining at his house in Surrey, England. His age was not disclosed.
Dunford joined Renaissance in 1970 when founding members and former Yardbirds Jim McCarty and Keith Relf left. Before that Dunford had been in the Nashville Teens, which had a hit in 1964 with 'Tobacco Road,' which was covered by David Lee Roth on 1986's 'Eat 'Em and Smile.'
Although Renaissance went through many changes over the next 42 years, Dunford was a constant, although he stopped touring with the band from 1972-3 to concentrate on composing their music. They broke up from 1987-98, and again in 2002, but reunited in 2009 for their 40th anniversary and maintained an active touring schedule over the next three years. Renaissance had just finished recording 'Grandine il Vento,' their first studio album in 12 years.
Led by the gorgeous voice of Annie Haslam, Renaissance's biggest spell of popularity was in the mid-1970s, when 1975s 'Scheherazade and Other Stories' and 1977's 'Novella' cracked the lower reaches of the Top 50 of the Billboard 200. Their single 'Northern Lights' reached the Top 10 in the U.K. in 1978.
Dunford is survived by his wife, two sons and a sister.

Cattle producers from South Dakota's neighboring states, as well as farms as far away as Virginia, are showing the country that in the cattle industry we're all in this together.
South Dakota state veterinarian Dustin Oedekoven increased his estimate of cattle losses to between 15,000 and 30,000 in western South Dakota following the blizzard; however, other estimates go to 80,000 head and higher. Three South Dakota livestock associations are working to collect funds to assist cattle producers, but another producer outside state lines saw an opportunity to contribute as well.
The Black Hills Pioneer reports Montana rancher Ty Linger established the "Heifers for S. Dakota" Facebook page to generate donations for affected producers. Groups in Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Utah and Virginia are collecting donations and livestock contributions have come from as far away as Oklahoma, Virginia and Arizona.
"We were just thinking about what we could do that would make a difference, something that would matter," Linger told the Black Hills Pioneer. "A lot of times you hear about hurricanes, tornadoes, and you want to help, you want to send money, but to a ranching community – if you were running say 200 head, and suddenly 150 are gone or dead, that's a tremendous loss. Most haven't even been able to sell their calves, so their one big paycheck this year just isn't going to come."
The idea of ranchers helping each other rings true. More than 130 head of animals worth more than $200,000 have already been pledged to the campaign.
In addition to bred cattle, the effort has received offers from people willing to transport livestock and donate fuel, trucks and distribution services.
In addition to the "Heifers for S. Dakota" campaign, Montana rancher Kerry White, head of Citizens for Balanced Use, is attempting to colleck 10,000 head to start shipping to affected producers.
"We're not trying to replace the herds. We're trying to rebuild them," White told Reuters. White is attempting to deliver the donated livestock beginning in December, but Alysa Robbins, outreach manager for the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association, said operations may not be able to receive animals until spring.
Visit the Facebook page and donation site.
Other national groups are joining in to relieve the effects of the winter storm. AgChat Foundation is leading an effort to raise funds for producers in South Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming and has set a goal to raise $500,000. Donations can be made through the AgChat Foundation's giving site.

Hi everyone,
I'm considering dedicating a full day to Metta practice and maybe making it a monthly thing but am wondering if anyone has done something similar and how to structure it. Currently I'm thinking of spending an hour on each group of people, so spread Metta towards myself an hour, then teachers an hour, then parents an hour etc., but I'm definitely open to suggestions if anyone knows of a better approach.
Thanks and best wishes,

I have been playing disc golf for about month and I love it. I am a Rutgers University student and we have a 18 hole course right on campus. Disc golf is very different from Ultimate frisbee-- which I have been playing for several years. It's so different from ulitmate frisbee b/c of all the different types of discs and what they can do. I am very comfortable throwing a frisbee, curving it left and right, throwing backhand and forehand-- but disc golf discs are just CRAZY. I'm used to my 175g FRISBEE Ultimate frisbee and it's straight, true flight that is very easy and predictable to shoot hyzer and anhyzer shots (i never even knew that making a frisbee curve left or right had specific names like this until I started playing disc golf). So I did some research and bought a few golf discs-- a 146 champion aviar put and approch, 166 champion cobra, and 170 champion beast. I bought everything in champion plasitc b/c the course at Rutgers is EXTREMELY tight and trees are EVERYWHERE. I knew I was going to be hitting them a lot (which I have been, a real lot).
I bought a Beast b/c it was a "distance driver", and I figured since I could throw my ultimate frisbee close to 300 ft-- I would be fine. WHAT A MISTAKE!!! This is flies straight for a bout 50 ft. then bombbbbssss left.
Well I guess I didn't do a good job with my research b/c I later discovered the Beast was absoutely NOT a begginer disc.
I am looking for a very durable beginner fairway driver. I've read a lot of good things about the Gateway E (I gotta go with the evolution plastic b/c the the heavily heavily wooded course) Sabre. Is this a good choice? Any other suggestions??
Thanks a bunch- Andrew
