The NBA draft countdown is underway and with the Utah Jazz holding two lottery picks and BYU's Jimmer Fredette remaining a major media magnet and fan favorite, locals interest might never have been higher. Fredette continues to be praised and criticized in the national media but it seems pretty clear the senior guard from BYU is one of the most talked about players in the field.
Dan Patrick interviewed Fredette Monday morning where he forced the New York native to admit he would slightly prefer to be a Knick, calling New York the 1A and the Jazz his 1B option.
The Knicks apparently are returning the Jimmer-love according toESPN's Chad Ford who says the orange and blue may be trying to move ahead of the Jazz's No. 12 pick to get him and several teams in spots just ahead of the Jazz are willing to deal. (Nobody has any team taking him as high as the Jazz No. 3 pick as some Dnews commenters are recommending.)
Much of Ford's content is only available to ESPN Insiders for a few dollars a month but today's Fredette content is free. He also lists the guard as 15th on his top 100 players.
Charlotte, with the No. 9 and 19 picks, is definitely not interested in Fredette. In a column, the well respected Scott Fowler explains that after drafting another successful college player that didn't translate well to the NBA, the Bobcats are nervous about Fredette.
Fowler says, "A Bobcats source indicated that although the team knows it needs outside shooting, it is lukewarm at best toward the idea of drafting Fredette."
The rest is well worth a read.
Cbssports.com senior writer Jeff Goodman also writes today that he has legitimate concerns about the Fredette's potential to guard, well, anybody at all. He says, "I'm not sure there's truly a guy in the NBA that Fredette can guard." But he claims he was once caught up in Jimmermania.
Matt Moore from the same website has a list of five players to be wary of drafting. Guess who made the list?40 comments on this story
Gary Parrish, same site again, is confident Fredette will not fail in the NBA. "... the idea that Jimmer Fredette will be a bust is silly. He can create and shoot. He's tough. He's a gamer. His positives outweigh his negatives. And the franchise that recognizes that Thursday will benefit from it for years."
Read the rest right here.
USA Today has a similar story but it features Fredette's response to the question and another "expert" who believes the Suns will take him at No. 13 and doesn't think defense will be an issue.

Not your father's PSU
Subject: Systems | December 5, 2005 - 06:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
DriverHeaven has a review of the Thermaltake PurePower PST 520W, which goes a little bit further than the usual PSU. Not only is it a PSU, but it also has 2 "Power Stations" that connect to the PSU. Read the full review to see exactly why that is, and what you can do with them.
After you're done, don't forget to check Lee's review of the Antec Neo HE 500 High Efficiency PSU.
'In 2005 another of Thermaltake's innovative products entered the retail scene, in the form of a
well thought out modular power supply. The Thermaltake PurePower PST 520W series was introduced,
and is totally compliant with published ATX 12v 2.0 version standards. The Power Station 520W PSU
consists of the 5.25 inch P.S.T. (Power Station) that fits into an available 5 1/4 inch drive bay,
and includes a mini-P.S.T. for connection of low power accessories such as case lights, fans, etc.
The only connections that are made to the parent power supply are an 8-pin power connector which
reaches from the power supply to the 5 1/4 inch Power Station, and dual connections are inherent
for the 6-pin PCI Express power connectors on the back of the PSU itself.'

I'll throw in my pennies...
I carry a ppk pretty much everywhere I go, I have a don hume open top OWB and it conceals under a t-shirt all day long, no problems. I would like to have more power and am currently looking at other options, but even if I go bigger, it will still be the go to summer gun. Mine *knock on wood* has been 100% since the day I got it, and like others have said, is very accurate.
I also own a 3913, but currently don't carry it because it is my wife's, it is the ladysmith version, and I don't have a holster for it. BUT, it is a great shooter, and I'm sure it would hide away just fine.
Like has been pointed out already, I think the CS9 is the gun for you, I wouldn't mind one either.

What they said: Scott StallingsJune 01, 2012
PGA TOUR staff
MORE INTERVIEWS: the Memorial Tournament transcript archive SCOTT STALLINGS: I mean, it felt pretty good. I definitely felt like I left a few out there the last five or six holes, burned a lot of edges coming in, but I hit a lot of really good shots. I know if I keep putting the ball in play and having opportunities, we'll be there when we need to be.
But just happy to be done. It was a long day. I've been here since 6:30, and the stopping and going and the golf course changing every five minutes, I was telling the guys over there, the golf course that I knew, it's like I've never played here before. You obviously know the greens and this and that, but I mean, all the other stuff that goes into it, I might as well have not even played a practice round if it's going to be like this.
Q. Mentally how big a challenge is it when you practice a course and it's completely different??
SCOTT STALLINGS: I mean, obviously you have an idea of like how you want to attack each hole and this and that, but the wind completely changed, the fairways were not running, the greens were a lot softer, they were a lot faster. So you kind of had to be pretty creative in how you were going about it. You have an idea how you want to play each hole, but at the end of the day, every single hole seemed like it was changing.
Q. You played last year in your first Memorial, and you came in here this year and played it in totally different conditions. Does it suit you maybe better than other courses??
SCOTT STALLINGS: I don't know if it suits me better, but I like it a lot. As soon as I played my first practice round here, all the sight lines off the tee were really good, and Jack Nicklaus is definitely the standard that we're all compared to in terms of golf and our careers and stuff like that. So any opportunity to play anything with his name on it is an honor, and it's definitely something that we as professionals shouldn't take for granted and enjoy it. His golf course is awesome, and I really enjoy playing it.
Q. Would you rather have what happened, where you're done? These guys that go out at 3:00 --
SCOTT STALLINGS: I'm glad to be done. You can't really do much with the tee times. It is what it is, whether you want to play late-early or early-late, you're going to get enough of both.
But I'm happy to be done, I'm happy to be finished. I haven't had a weekend tee time in a long time, so yeah, definitely will enjoy some rest this afternoon and try to be ready to go tomorrow.
Q. What kind of challenges will they see out there? What was the course like as you were coming in?
SCOTT STALLINGS: Super soft and long, and the wind was kind of coming -- the wind that was forecasted was not there. It was supposed to be coming out of the south most of the day, and it kept turning around, and it seemed like it couldn't make up its mind the whole day.
Q. Are there some holes where you were hitting entirely different clubs today than yesterday??
SCOTT STALLINGS: Yeah, I mean, perfect example was 4. Today I ripped a 5-iron, yesterday I chipped an 8-iron, just completely different with the wind and the firm greens.
Q. Which putt was the toughest miss coming down the stretch??
SCOTT STALLINGS: All of them (laughing). You know, when the greens get soft, they're going to pick up spike marks and stuff like that. Unfortunately I had one pretty big one in the middle of my line, and if you saw the putt rolling it just went straight right. That's going to happen, but every putt I hit, I hit where I wanted to, so that's really all you can do.
Q. Could you explain the difference in your life that the Greenbrier made last year and what that meant to you and how it made the change for you??
SCOTT STALLINGS: I mean, it completely changed my life. I went from a rookie on the PGA TOUR just trying to keep my card to a winner, and basically for the first time in my professional career, having some sort of stability, and kind of knowing where I'm going to be for the next couple years and kind of being able to build upon it.
Yeah, winning definitely changes everything. You want to -- once you've had a piece of it, you can't wait to do it again.
Q. When you go back, do you go back now with a certain amount of added confidence or feeling like you know you belong here??
SCOTT STALLINGS: I mean, you know you've done it before, but at the end of the day, my play up until now has been very lackluster, to say the least. Being injured is obviously unfortunate and there's a lot of stuff that goes along with it. At the end of the day I'm definitely looking forward to getting back, and there's a lot of golf to play here and there's a couple other events I'm really excited about playing before then.
Q. What does it mean to be leader, co-leader, going into the weekend??
SCOTT STALLINGS: It's awesome. I mean, that's what we play for. That's what we practice for. Any opportunity to get out there and play and compete to win a golf tournament, especially a golf tournament with Jack Nicklaus's name on it, it's exciting, and definitely look forward to getting out there.
Q. (Inaudible.)
SCOTT STALLINGS: Yeah, I definitely felt like my game was right in form. My coach came into town for three days and we kind of got after it pretty good and had some long days on the range. He wasn't really concerned about my golf swing or anything like that, he was more or less just trying to make sure I was confident and when I stepped on the tee I was prepared to play, and that was kind of all we really talked about.

Ethical Blindness
Many models of (un)ethical decision making assume that people decide rationally and are in principle able to evaluate their decisions from a moral point of view. However, people might behave unethically without being aware of it. They are ethically blind. Adopting a sensemaking approach, we argue that ethical blindness results from a complex interplay between individual sensemaking activities and context factors.

Samsung releases Tizen wearables SDK for new Gear smartwatches
Samsung's first Galaxy Gear smartwatch was running Android, so it was fairly simple for developers to get started creating apps for the device. With the new Gear series, Samsung has dropped the Galaxy name and Android OS, opting for Tizen instead. This means making apps for developers will be a little more complicated.

Copy of Kore-Eda pre ?
They are two new products from Sakura.
Maybe it will be easy to make a copy of the preamp ?
Can anybody identify the components in the preamp ?
As far as i can see they use:
1. Small transformer from Talema/India with 2x115V input and two 2.5VA 15V AC outputs
2. Two rectifiers composed from four normal diodes
3. Two bigger caps, probably 3300/25V Panasonic TS-HA?
4. 78xx and 79xx regs with two small electrolyt caps - decoupling caps ?
5. Preamp section with adXXX opamps ?
6. Small red tantalum caps close to opamps ?
7. Around opamps they are four resistors
8. One polystyren/aluminium input? output ? cap from BC ?
Can anybody identify more details and maybe create the schematic of this small pre ?
Who knows, maybe it sounds very good.
Cheers, sinski
This is the link for preamp picture :
I am completely electronic newbie and have no to much knowledge about electronics. In the last days i was just reading about opamp based pres and looked carefully on Kore Eda pre.
I found the SWCAD software from LT and i created a circuit, which could be the pre, but i am not sure about it.
Can anybody help and say if it is OK ?
What about
C2,C3 4.7uF
Any ideas ?
You need to add a .1uf caps to the supply rails. I would also go over the datasheet,there are suggests for the resistors values. It may have a min. gain requirement also.

The Denver Post has confirmed that Broncos RB Mario Fannin tore his Achilles' tendon during a scrimmage on Saturday and is out for the season. Willis McGahee remains the starter in Denver, while Knowshon Moreno remains in a competition with Ronnie Hillman, Lance Ball and Jeremiah Johnson for the backup spot.
Tuesday, July 31, 2012, 3:44pm
Knowshon Moreno lost the Broncos' starting tailback job to Willis McGahee last year and was used mostly in a third-down role before he was injured. McGahee remains the team's starter, and the team drafted a running back, Ronnie Hillman, in the third round. Veteran Lance Ball also has taken plenty of snaps with the first-team offense through the first five days of camp. Other running backs in camp include Mario Fannin (also coming off an ACL injury), Jeremiah Johnson and Xavier Omon.
Moreno's snaps Monday came right after McGahee's work with the rest of the first-team offense.
Friday, July 27, 2012, 9:03pm
Denver's Lance Ball was the No. 2 tailback behind Willis McGahee. Knowshon Moreno wore a knee brace and didn't participate in team drills. Mario Fannin got some reps with the No. 2 offense.
Thursday, July 26, 2012, 8:48pm
Some notes from Denver camp:
- Lance Ball was the No. 2 tailback behind Willis McGahee. Knowshon Moreno wore a knee brace and didn't participate in team drills. Mario Fannin got some reps with the No. 2 offense.
- Caleb Hanie was clearly the No. 2 QB. Adam Weber was No. 3 and rookie Brock Osweiler was No. 4. The competition here is between Hanie and Weber. The Broncos probably won't keep both.
Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 9:37am
The Broncos agreed to terms with UFA Auburn running back Mario Fannin, who finished his career with the Tigers with a BCS national championship ring and the career record for receptions and receiving yards by a running back.

A Lincolnshire day care center has agreed to settle a wrongful death case of a toddler who died after being thrown to the ground by a caretaker.
Amy and Andy Kingan will get $2 million from Minee-Subee in the Park, the full extent of the Lincolnshire day care center's insurance coverage.
"I just can't believe that my son is gone, you know, and a lot of times when we're sitting eating, I look over at the empty chair he used to sit in and it's hard to believe," Andy Kingan said Friday.
Fourteen months ago, the Kingans' 16-month-old son, Ben, slipped into unconsciousness and died after a day care worker overwhelmed with fussing children violently tossed the boy to the ground.
The day care employee was charged in Ben's death and the owner of the center charged with obstruction of justice after trying to convince another employee to lie to police. The center was closed by state authorities.
The Kingans hope Ben becomes the poster child for vigilant and strict adherence to safety rules and procedures by day care centers across the nation.
"It's still going to be a life-long journey for us, a life-long goal for us to make sure that what happened to Ben and our family doesn't happen to anyone else," Amy Kingan said.

When we travel, we like to mix educational type activities with a little dose of pure fun family entertainments. There is no other places that offer more varieties of family attractions than in Myrtle Beach.
Driving Experience at NASCAR SpeedPark
With only a few days visiting Myrtle Beach, we had to pick and choose activities that would please the whole family. One of the choice that Mr. Z & Miss J chose was the NASCAR SpeedPark.
They had been fascinating with the idea of being able to drive a car by themselves for a while. But with petite size parents, I felt bad that they were always too short to meet minimum height to most theme parks to enjoy those go-karts fun.
Luckily, there were a few options for them to be able to drive the car themselves in NASCAR SpeedPark. The Beginners Circle is a perfect spot for pint-size visitors. However, Mr. Z was a bit disappointed that most of the rides were for younger crowds.
Nonetheless, he was able to drive his own go-kart as he wished. It was a bit disappointment for him that he didn't have as many choices as he hoped for but it was a great motivation for him to eat more so next time we visit he would be tall enough for all the rides.
Miss J, on the other hand, was a little dare devil that came out of her shell this year. She enjoyed driving and I had to say she was pretty good for a little girl.
If you decide to check out NASCAR SpeedPark, I would recommend you to check out their website and see what type of tickets or passes you want to purchase beforehand. It was very confusing to figure out which is the best value for a family. It all depends on your kids and how long you want to stay.
The line to purchase tickets was long and slow so pack your patience with you when you visit. At least your kids can play some video games while you wait in line. :)
Putt Putt at Hawaiian Rumble Golf
I'm not avid golfer and quite frankly I don't have much time to spend that much on the golf course. But for a quick putting fun, there is no better place to try out mini-golf at this miniature golf courses capital city. I don't really know how many mini-golf courses there are in Myrtle Beach but we saw them as frequent as drug stores.
We were able to squeeze in putt putt fun one night at Hawaiian Rumble Golf. This Hawaiian mini-golf theme is a bit further North for people who stays closer to Myrtle Beach downtown area. But if you stay in the North end of the beach, it would be a good place to visit.
The Volcano is the showcase at the Hawaiian Rumble Golf. Fortunately, Miss J had gotten over her fear of volcano from a few years ago!
Don't forget to check out the sign for each hole to learn Hawaiian phrases.
Mahalo NASCAR SpeedPark and Hawaiian Rumble Golf for providing us with complimentary passes. As always, you can count on me to disclose when I receive something for free and also to share my honest opinions.

WINSFORD E-ACT Academy students have been given local government backing to try and help fix a decline in electoral voting among young people.
Winsford Town clr Mike Burns has set up a Government e-petition calling for lessons on democracy and politics to become part of the national curriculum.
He's supporting a campaign by three pupils who took a transatlantic trip to America for the the 2012 presidential elections, and want to generate greater interest among young people about how the UK is run.
Clr Burns said: "Over the years, voting between 16-25 year olds has dramatically reduced.
"There are many reasons for this but I believe one of the main reasons is people are not educated on politics and democracy, in particular the importance of it.
"Both women and working class men have died for the right to vote and it is such a shame to see young people not knowing and understanding that fact."
Three that certainly do understand are E-ACT students Ben Ladley, Rebecca Hoare and Gemma Clark.
They campaigned for President Obama's Democrat Party in 2012 after taking part in the Act Inspired US scheme.
In a statement, the three pupils said: "Leading up to our trip to the US we came to reflect on voting in our town and came to realise how many people didn't vote.
"Our trip has inspired us to run a campaign to increase voting through education because we learnt voting is important, and to make an informed decision you need to have the right knowledge.
"To make a difference you need to vote. Without your opinion the change will not be in your favour. Your vote counts!"
Clr Burns added: "The petition will run until October. We don't expect to get the 100,000 signatures to force a Parliamentary debate on the issue, but we want as much support as possible.
"We will be writing to councils all over the country asking for every councillors' support and for them to forward it on."
To sign the petition, visit epetitions.direct.gov.uk and search 'Introduce compulsory democracy and politics lessons in schools'.

For short and sweet, power series is a nice example. Try http://www.polyomino.f2s.com/david/haskell/hs/PowerSeries.hs.txt or http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/powser.html. Makes nice use of laziness to allow power series to consume earlier members of the series to produce later ones. Power series 'reversion' has traditionally been a tricky thing to code up but it's almost trivial in Haskell.

Recruitment Process
Networking to get the job
You have now reviewed several schools and identified a number you would like to make contact with. This is the point in the process where we say "It's time to let go". Parents, you have to learn to be willing to let go of their kids and let them lead the way in the recruitment process. Athletes, you have to let go of your insecurity and be willing to step up and be assertive with coaches. If you are a great fit for a program, coaches are impressed by student-athletes who are proactive and initiate contact. In school teachers expect a greater level of responsibility from their students as they move from elementary to middle and then middle to high school. Similarly, coaches expect a greater level of independence and responsibility from the players they will be coaching. They need to feel comfortable you will be able to thrive on your own and away from home. Having your parents calling and emailing coaches does not show them the level of independence they are looking for.
The two most important rules about making contact are:
- Never hesitate to initiate contact with a coach!
- If one doesn't work out simply move on to the next!
To make contact I recommend you create a form email template you can customize for each school. This will make life a lot easier. There is a lot less time spent typing and retyping emails and more importantly you won't have to try and remember what you said to which coach if they should happen to call. However it's critically important you don't accidently list the wrong school, wrong coach or send something littered with typos. This is your first impression you are making and you want to ensure it's a positive one. The email needs to include the following:
- Your email should include the following information
- Introduce yourself and tell them why you are writing.
- Provide a brief background of yourself to include high school, anticipated graduation year and why you are considering their school.
- Provide a brief background on your playing experience
- Ask a few questions so that they have something to respond to. Don't make them too complicated and don't ask about scholarships. It's too early for that.
- Let them know you are enclosing your soccer resume with additional information they may find useful. Let them know you would love to have them watch you play sometime and that you have also attached a copy of your schedule.
- Thank them for their time and close on a positive note. If you have recruitment site be sure to include this under your name. Do not simply paste the link. Instead just type something like "Recruitment Profile with Videos" and hyperlink that instead.

well after i had been playing for 4 months i could play Holy Wars, Five Magics, Lucretia and Tornado of Souls.This album is NOT technical apart from poison was the cure, the one riff that is rather fiddly out of the aforementioned songs is the one from Tornado thats like (from memory) 7 79 10 (7h9p7) 10 (7 9 10) [9p7] -7- or whatever (used brackets and dashes to signify different strings). even thats easy as shit. This album really isnt actaully as difficult as it sounds. Take No Prisoners is rather ermmm fast but not particularly hard, theres WAY tougher thrash out there than this

Pat, I've learned to accept the fact that I can't reach all my goals....no matter what. LOL At least one of my goals was attained- you and others enjoyed solving it. :-)
Oh, Aishahm and Advia, we're only 14 seconds apart! Wild! This was lots of fun, Wendy! I'm sorry you're not happy with the solves, but we're happy with the puzzle! :-)))
Actually, aishahm, this is the least amount of solves I've gotten on a puzzle in a long time. A puzzle I posted on October 15 of last year with my Wendy_13 alias is the most recent one that has less. I think the Super Bowl might have something to do with this one's number of solves. I have a goal of getting at least 100 solves on every puzzle....but I've failed at that quite a few times. lol
It looks like quite a few people have solved it. It is a beautiful puzzle.
asihahm, I'm so very glad you enjoyed this one. :-)
Wendy, I very much enjoyed the puzzle. Thanks so much for making it for me.
aishahm, I hope your minor accident was minor. All accidents should be minor. However, because you didn't get much time on Jigidi yesterday, I'm guessing that your accident wasn't as minor as you think it was minor. LOL Anyway, I hope you enjoy solving this. :-)Pat, what the heck were you doing watching the Super Bowl when you could have been solving puzzles all day? I am clueless as to who the teams were, and who won it, and even what state it took place in. LOL
Missed this yesterday--Aishahm clued me in! Sorry--it was a mixed up day, and the Super Bowl messed with it even more. Thanks for posting it! :-)))
Wendy, I'm so sorry I didn't get to this yesterday. I had an minor accident yesterday morning so I didn't get much jigidi in. But I will most definitely be working it today. Thanks so much for posting it. I know I will love every minute of it.
schmidt2, thank you so much for dropping by. :-)aishahm, the reason I didn't post this as a super large one previously is because I knew it would be too complicated for most people to solve. Well, I hope you solved it and didn't change your mind. ;-)
Thank you so much Wendy. This is gorgeous.
Beautiful colors. Thank You!

Simian Squared has released the official trailer for its upcoming iOS and Ouya Super Mario Bros.-inspired platformer The Other Brothers.
The game promises to be a modern take on the retro platformer, complete with "action-packed levels and awesome boss fights," a "crazy cast of [mafia-like] characters in a unique world," and an original soundtrack composed by Dave Dexter.
The game's out later this month. (Though, the trailer doesn't specify which version of the game it's referring to. We've reached out to Simian for confirmation. But we think it's iOS. There's a thread about the game's Ouya development on Ouya.tv.)
Update: The iOS version is out this month. The Ouya version's exact timing is uncertain, but Simian tells Gematsu it will be "reasonably soon after [the iOS version] if not at the same time." The studio is planning "a few special things" to take advantage of the platform's features.

LAHORE: The consequences of the ongoing tug-of-war between the government and Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) are beginning to affect the country's sports scene as the participation of the Pakistan hockey team in the 20th Commonwealth Games next year now appears in the doldrums.
The Games are being held in Glasgow in 2014, but the deadline to give 'Expression of Interest' by the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) expired on July 21 owing to the nasty tussle.
The POA led by Arif Hasan is being recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) but the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) does not recognise it. Instead, the PSB has formed a parallel body of the POA headed by Akram Sahi, which has no standing at the international level.
An official statement issued by the POA (Arif Hasan), said: "This press release is being issued to highlight the factual position regarding the participation of the Pakistan hockey team in the Commonwealth Games in 2014.
"The POA is constrained to make it public that owing to lack of 'Expression of Interest' by the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), the Pakistan hockey team may not be able to participate in the 20th Commonwealth Games 2014 at Glasgow.
"After receipt of communication from the Commonwealth Games Federation that for team sports it was mandatory that the concerned federation gives an 'Expression of Interest' in writing, the POA had sought the commitment from the PHF in its letter dated July 18, 2013, with the deadline for the reply expiring on July 21, 2013," the POA stated.
"After the letter was not responded to, the POA sent a reminder to the PHF on July 22, 2013. This reminder clearly stated that 'Expression of Interest' from the federation concerned was a 'requirement' of the CGF, communicated vide their email of July 17, 2013.
"The reminder also stated: 'the consent of Pakistan Hockey Federation (Expression of Interest) was sought by a return email as we have to confirm the same to the Organising Committee of the Commonwealth Games latest by July 23, 2013 failing which the Pakistan hockey team may not be considered for participation in the 10-Team event by the FIH for these Games.' This reminder too has remained unresponded to.
"Owing to the artificially charged environment prevailing in sports in the country, both the original letter and its reminder were also copied to the federal ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination, the PSB and other international bodies.
"The participation of Pakistan hockey in the event would have afforded it a great opportunity to build its squad for the 2016 Olympic Games by competing against some of the best outfits like Australia, England, New Zealand, Malaysia and South Africa. Actually, outside of Germany, the Netherlands and Spain, all the top ranked teams in the world take part in the event. Why the PHF deliberately wanted to stay away from the Commonwealth Games is anyone's guess.
"The POA nevertheless is still willing to take up the case with the Commonwealth Games Federation provided the PHF submits its expression of interest by not later than Monday afternoon. The National Olympic Committee is confident that its request to the Commonwealth Games Federation can still get Pakistan included in the line-up of 10 nations at Glasgow 2014. But this is absolute final deadline as we are not sure whether the CGF will allow any further extensions.
"In case of its failure to respond, the onus for non-participation in a frontline event of almost global import shall once again lie with the PHF," it concluded.
Meanwhile, when contacted, PHF secretary Asif Bajwa told Dawn that he had received the e-mail from the POA on July 19 and soon after he sent it to the PSB to get its advice under the current circumstances, since the board was the donor providing tickets and TA/DA to the PHF for these games.
"The PSB in reply advised the PHF to make contact with the legitimate POA body of Akram Sahi" Bajwa said. "The PHF, in response to that letter asked the PSB to ask Akram Sahi's body to send the 'Expression of Interest' to the PHF, if it has received any," Bajwa further elaborated.
"After that the PSB has forwarded the same PHF's letter to Akram Sahi's body to proceed further but the PHF has not received any reply," said Bajwa.
He further went on to say that on Friday, after the media had released the news sent by the POA, he again wrote a letter to the PSB expressing the PHF wanted to appear in the Commonwealth Games and it wanted a clear reply before Monday.
The national hockey will be the main suffering party in the current situation as it has qualified for the Youth Olympics Games and the Asian Games. The participation in the Asian Games will also pave the way for participation in the 2016 Olympics.

Reality check for security
Recently, I read Bruce Schneier's book Beyond Fear. It was quite an enlightening read: quite a few of the things the book was about were obvious in some intuitive level, but Schneier managed to formulate them in a logical manner. Even better, the formulation was very clear, consistent and easy to follow. Although the book was occassionally a bit tedious, it still was very entertaining to read, thanks to numerous examples. I especially liked those taken from the behavior or characteristics of different animals. Being both enlightening and entertaining is not very easily accomplished.
After a (somewhat populistic, at least from an European point of view) 9/11-intro, the book talks a lot about security risks, risk mitigation and trade-offs. It starts by analyzing situations where humans make subconscious security decisions such as crossing the street when the pedestrian light is red: when the pedestrian sees clearly that no cars approach, the trade-off of waiting for green light is too great for improved security of green light for most people (of course, the law-abideness of the pedestrian also has an effect on this). Analyzing these mundane antics is a good and clear way of introducing a formal security analysis system.
When the reader has gained some knowledge of basic security and the difference between true security and "security theater", Schneier moves on to analyze more complex security systems, such as the effect of spectacularity (media attention) or personification (as opposed to anonymity) of victims. It's clear why too powerful police force is actually a security risk to the citizens rather than a risk mitigation. A basic characteristic of technology is that it enables; restricting is much more difficult. This fact brings forth both good and evil: it will be difficult to secure a house, but it will be probably impossible to generate a totalitaristic computing platform even with a cute name like "trustworthy computing".
Schneier manages to stay politically neutral even with the touchy subject of terrorism, although I think there was quite severe critique towards the American foreign policy between the lines (paraphrasing, "after being mugged, no one accuses you of being in the dark alleys, but would it have been wiser not to enter them in the first place?"). As a side note, this is probably what the Finnish politicians and media should be considering about NATO: will joining mitigate threats or aggravate them? (Of course, before that one should ask "what risks?"...)
The book revealed a few rather bleak matters about the world. History shows that in the long run, terrorism does work. And quite a few of the people in charge of security decisions obviously cannot see the true value of their actions. Security cannot just be "placed" by adding security cameras, ID checks or other arbitrary policies, it must be planned. Maybe even more important point is that increasing security does not need to mean reduced liberties.
The average member of a yellow press audience scarcely is going to read the book, but it really puts different risks into perspective: it's 200 times more probable to be struck by a lightning than die of anthrax. Combined with critical analysis of sensational media makes the book even more informative. Security is not of any value per se and it should be applied with caution and where needed - exaggeration is easy, hence prevalent.
I would recommend the book to those in charge of security policies (even more, I would insist that they read it) and to everyone who just wants to know how different systems work. Security is not totally unlike other systems.

Standard for dc power distribution released
EMerge Alliance released the EMerge Alliance Standard, which the association claims is the first to provide a roadmap for the use of low-voltage dc power in commercial building interiors. The standard is said to establish a more efficient means of powering the rapidly increasing number of digital, dc-powered devices found in today's workplaces, such as sensors, lighting, and IT equipment.
EMerge Alliance released the EMerge Alliance Standard, which the association claims is the first to provide a roadmap for the use of low-voltage dc power in commercial building interiors.
The standard is said to establish a more efficient means of powering the rapidly increasing number of digital, dc-powered devices found in today's workplaces, such as sensors, lighting, and IT equipment. It creates an integrated, open platform for power, interior infrastructures, controls, and peripheral devices to facilitate the hybrid use of ac and dc power within buildings. In the standardized scheme, ac power is converted to low-voltage dc for room-level distribution, which is intended to eliminate numerous device-level ac-to-dc power converters.
The standard also provides for an optional connection to on-site alternative power generation such as solar panels and micro-turbines, which historically have required conversion to ac using inverters. Using native dc power generated from on-site sources to drive dc loads more directly can dramatically improve building efficiency, reduce energy costs, and reduce environmental footprints, according to EMerge Alliance.
"The EMerge Alliance Standard sets the stage for a new era in power sourcing, distribution, and management in commercial buildings," said Alliance chairman BrianPatterson. "While we advocate increased use of native dc power, the Alliance is not interested in reliving the epic Edison and Westinghouse battle over ac versus dc technologies. Rather, we've set out to find better and more practical ways of getting the most out of both."
The Alliance is establishing a third-party registration and evaluation program scheduled to begin this fall for labeling products based on the standard. This program will benefit Alliance members, system specifiers, and building owners by ensuring that products will be available from the EMerge Alliance membership base and that all products will be easily identifiable in the market.
According to EMerge Alliance, the standard defines physical and electrical requirements intended to achieve the following goals:
Reduce energy losses by eliminating device-by-device electrical conversions from ac power to dc power
Use of safe Class2 power levels wherever practical, as defined by the National Electrical Code
Broad capabilities for faster and simpler moves, adds, and changes in occupied spaces
Movement toward interoperable device-level controls and Smart Gridintegration at the building level
Easier integration of native dc power sources such as solar, wind, fuel cell, and batteries, with traditional ac power sources
Flexibility to implement new energy-saving devices—such as LED lighting and controls, and energy-saving technologies such as renewable power sources—more efficiently and effectively.
A public overview version of the standard and answers to frequently asked questions are available at www.EMergeAlliance.org . The full EMerge Alliance Standard is available to Governing, Participating, and General Members of the Alliance.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Playing a character based on a real person, is that different for you than playing a character who is completely fictional?
Absolutely. There's just a sense of wanting to get it right, and get it close to what the person was like if you can. Or if you choose to. Something you can choose not to for a creative decision for whatever reason, which is also fine. In this particular project, Danny was loved by so many friends and family. And talking to them in preparation for the role was really an eye-opener, and reminded me this is more than just a movie. This was these peoples' lives. This is their son and their brother, someone who really was an honorable person, who deserves to be taken seriously and respected and honored with the best that I could do.
And of course Luttrell was on set, right?
Luttrell was on set, except for the actual gun fight itself. I think that would have been too much. I don't know about too much, but probably just best he wouldn't be there for that part.
Yeah, that seems--oof.
Yeah, it's surreal enough to see a movie made about your life but to see a movie being made about the absolutely worse day of your life? Worst week of your life? I think that would have been really tough.
How much did you know about the SEALs before the film?
Not a ton. I mean I feel like I sort of knew what the average person would know about SEALs.
And now do you feel you know a lot more having had to walk in their shoes to some degree?
Oh yeah. Well, you know Ben Foster and I went down to Coronado on a day in Los Angeles where we both had free. And we were actually able to meet SEAL team 5 down there, see where they put all their stuff. We basically got to trot around their backyard for a little while. And it was incredible. Seeing what these guys are, seeing what their personalities are like, the light side, the dark side, every which way--it's a very intense world that they roll in.
You've played a lot of characters based on real people. Is that something you're especially drawn to or is that more coincidence?
I think there's a part of me that gets more excited about characters that are based on real people. I don't know why--I mean, I do know why. There's more detail. The material feels more character rich. There's more at stake. There's more to me that fires up my imagination because there's more research to do and things that you can kind of lock on to and really learn. I find myself learning more about the world when I play parts that are based on other people because you have to go out into the world and research it. In that process you discover things. It becomes an education.
Do you consider yourself a history buff at all?
I love history. I do. I don't consider myself a history buff. But every time I learn about history I find myself really drawn into it and fascinated by it, excited by it.
Well you have another biopic coming up about John Belushi. Is there anything you can tell us about that?
The John Belushi biopic we're hopefully going to be making in June. It's going to be good. I'm sort of somewhat hesitant to talk about it in too much detail because I almost don't want to jinx it or something. I like the idea of keeping it a little bit of a mystery.
Okay, understandable. So, it was funny to me to watch this film a couple of months after Prince Avalanche because Danny and Lance are total opposites. You made those movies within a couple of months of each other.
I know! It's so funny that that was the character I played immediately before playing Danny.
Aside from both being in the woods, there's not a lot of common ground between the two.
Yeah. I know the two versions of these guys in the woods are very different. I had been a little bit out of shape when I shot Prince Avalanche, and I was just kind of enjoying myself, enjoying the food and gained a little weight for that part. And all of a sudden I have to get in the best shape of my life and I found myself training in this workout camp with this guy named T.R. Goodman. Gold's Gym, it's called Pro Camp, it's where pro athletes go. And they were just kicking my butt for six days a week for three and half months. And I was questioning every Snickers I had eaten on Prince Avalanche.
When Lone Survivor wrapped was there anything you did as a kind of release of "now my body can go to hell"?
No not at all! I wanted to maintain it. See, if you get into really good shape, you don't go like, "Oh, man screw this!"
You're like "this forever!"
You're like, "I want to keep this shit as long as possible!" But there was no way to maintain the standard of working out that I'd had. It's just--even T.R. told me, "You're never going to train this hard again. You won't do it. No one could."
It's like a job unto itself.
Yeah, (laughs) he just told me it wasn't going to happen. And I was like, "No, I'm going to do it." But he was right, to maintain that standard, of four hours of working out every morning? It's a lot. Two hours of cardio, two hours of weights.
Well on the idea of beefing up, it seems everyone in your age range is being rumored for some superhero movie or another. Is that something that interests you?
I mean I definitely would never rule anything out. Like I'd hate to say, "No, I'm not interested" then some director reads this interview and is like, "Oh, that's too bad I was just going to offer him like Vineman or whatever." So I'm not going to just say that. But I don't know.
Lone Survivor, opens in limited release on December 27th, and expands on January 10th.

Hello Victor,
Thanks for your feedback. We are already tracking a request that will allow you to capture the entire error stack in the CATCH block. We will look at that for a future version of SQL Server. Also, in SQL Server 2012 if you use THROW in the catch block to rethrow the error you will get all the error messages but you can only consume that in the client-side.
Otherwise, I am closing this request as won't fix since we don't have plans to change the backup execution mechanism.

His Excellency
Vaclav Klaus
President of the Czech Republic
Dear Mr. President:
I want to express my gratitude to you for graciously welcoming and hosting me for the historic signing of the New START agreement in Prague. The event will long be remembered as having taken place in your capital, reflecting the close ties between our two countries, and our shared aspirations for the future.
I valued our conversations, including at the elegant lunch that you offered to the visiting American and Russian delegations, at my dinner on April 8th for you and your Central and Eastern European counterparts, and at our bilateral meeting on April 9th. Your observations about the importance of the trans-Atlantic relationship particularly resonated with me. As I said, NATO is central to our shared interests and to global security, and it will remain a priority for the duration of my Administration and beyond.
I also want to reiterate my thanks for what the Czech Republic is doing in Afghanistan and for the courage and sacrifice of your soldiers there.
My national security team will be in touch with their Czech counterparts to follow up on the topics we have discussed. I look forward to staying in touch.

It is standard practice to tip the pizza man but this Des Moines, Iowa resident just didn't have the cash. As a result of being stiffed, the pizza man unzipped his pants and peed on her door. Unfortunately for him he was caught on video.
The manager of the Pizza Hut came to the property to view the video and the man in the video has since been let go.
Other stories of customers stiffing workers have broken out including one of a woman who didn't tip on a $138.35 bill. Instead she wrote, 'single mom, sorry' on the tip line. The picture of the receipt has gone viral, outraging many by her stinginess.
In some states, a server's wage can be as low as $2.13 per hour as most of the income is from tips.

Abuse probes have TV veterans shaking in their boots
Soon after the Jimmy Savile scandal broke, the publicist Max Clifford said that a number of veterans of the entertainment world would be shaking in their shoes, expecting the dawn knock on the door from the constabulary investigating "historic" sex abuse crimes.
Indeed, Mr Clifford was briefly called in himself for questioning, although no charges were laid against him.
But allegations were made against DJ Dave Lee Travis, comedians Freddie Starr and Jim Davidson and presenter Stuart Hall, and now, the great family favourite, Australian Rolf Harris.
Harris (83) is much-loved for his cheerful musical presentations and pleasing TV paintings. His accuser is a woman who claims he sexually assaulted her as a teenager. He denies the accusation, but has not made any statements.
What is going on here? Was the popular music and broadcasting scene of the 1960s and 1970s awash with creepy sexual abusers of children? Gary Glitter has been convicted of such crimes and musician Jonathan King has served time in the United States for an offence with a 15-year-old.
Savile was clearly an odious hebephile (a hebephile is attracted to youngsters on the cusp of adolescence), who exploited his power and was allowed to do so by the BBC, who fawned on his celebrity. But as Savile is now dead, are the police inclined to go after other celebrities, or names, on somewhat thin evidence?
That seems to have happened in the case of Wilfred De'ath, a 75-year-old former BBC producer who was arrested earlier this year for an investigation into an 'historic' sexual offence.
An unnamed actress reported him to the police, claiming he had fondled her – put his hand on her knee – in a cinema when she was 14. Mr De'ath was held in custody, but the case dropped when the actress said she would not testify in court. She said she had only come forward to encourage others – but no others appeared.
Mr De'ath was released without charge, although he did state that "everyone at the BBC was preying on young women" in Savile's heyday of the 1960s and 1970s and "it went right to the top".
Although it's something of a cliche, I think it is fair to blame the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s for contributing to this. The 'permissive society' gave a green light to any form of sexual liberation, summed up in the catchphrase 'If it feels good, do it'.
The late DJ John Peel recalled that 12-year-old girls were "queuing up" to offer sexual favours to guys in the pop world and many an old rocker can recall young groupies whose enthusiasm and naivity were easily exploited. Remember, the literary masterpiece of the 1960s was Nabokov's Lolita, which is now sometimes seen as a paedophile's charter. But, it was feted at the time and made into a movie with the 12-year-old Lolita character posing in baby-doll lingerie.
We live in a different age now and values have altered. The feminist revolution was not the same as the sexual revolution, although the two are often conflated; feminism has sought to empower women by insisting on boundaries to sexual conduct.
From this perspective, those DJs and media personalities who thought it was okay to giggle over 12-year-olds "queuing up" for their favours are no longer viewed with jokey tolerance. But the authorities may have gone from one extreme to the other – from ignoring the heinous offences of Savile to arresting individuals against whom the slightest accusation is levelled.
It seems that Mr Clifford was right: there will still be quite a few entertainment veterans worrying about that 7am knock on the door.

The whiteboard standing in the middle of the large community centre next to the Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church has three telephone numbers scrawled in blue marker pen. One is for the local hospital, one is for the sheriff's office, and the third is for the funeral home.
Candace Smith sat outside yesterday morning, crying, and staring into the distance. In the early hours of Friday she lost her husband, Anthony, her five-year-old son, Joey, and two-year-old daughter, Katelynn, to the devastating flash floods that swept away an Arkansas campsite in a river valley a few miles down the road.
Mrs Smith almost died as well, but miraculously, she managed to cling onto the trunk of a tree while she watched the Little Missouri River – by now waist deep – surge past her, taking trees, cars, tents and people with it.
The remote forest beauty spot was turned into a scene of horror as flash floods caused by torrential overnight rains hurtled down the valley during the night as the river swelled with heavy rains.
The disaster struck at the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas, which is known for its gorges and scenic views, and is popular with hikers and families holidaying in recreational vehicles.
At least 17 people were killed and dozens more were missing and feared dead as cabins were smashed to smithereens, tents were destroyed and mobile homes and vehicles were swept away. Survivors told how the water hit "like a tsunami".
Police blocked off the approach road to anyone but rescue workers. But from a nearby dirt track, the immensity of the devastation was starkly clear - mounds of earth, broken tree limbs, flattened bushes and plants stretched up to 50 feet in either direction.
Outside the church, Mrs Smith was too distraught to talk. But her mother, Kim Frazer, relayed the horrendous events that have torn their family's life apart.
"They all came up here from their house in from Shreveport, Louisiana, on Thursday for the weekend," she said. "They always come here a few times during the summer and this time they had some friends with them."
Most of the group went to sleep on Thursday night in tents while Mrs Smith and her friend Kerri Basinger bedded down in a camper van.
"At three in the morning my daughter opened up the camper door to see the older boys running towards the truck," said Mrs Frazer. "They tried to climb into the vehicles but there were mud slides and the river had risen so much they couldn't.
"The water swept Candace and Kerri away but my daughter managed to hold on to a tree. Water gushed into the truck and that's when the boys lost track of each other. We found out later they had each managed to climb some trees. Kerri was swept six miles down river, but somehow she managed to grab on until the water went down.
"They found the bodies of my son-in-law and two grandchildren at 6am. They were gone. They took Kerri to hospital for concussion, lacerations to her body, broken ribs and bruising. My daughter had badly bruised arms but otherwise she is OK.
"Kerri's eight-year-old girl is still missing. She doesn't want to leave until they find her daughter."
Holiday-maker Angela Chriss, who was staying in the forest with nine family members, burst into tears as she described the moment the flood hit.
She told a local television station: "The water was in front and behind and we were in the centre of the flow. It rose 8ft in 35 minutes. There was a tree and we climbed almost to the top and the water was just below us, you could hear the limbs snapping.
"My 16-year-old son was camping 100 yards from us and he came floating down the river. He said 'Mama, Daddy, please save me, I'm drowning.'" Her four-year-old grandson was swept away with his mother and they saw three bodies.
A refrigerated truck has been set up as a temporary morgue as authorities acknowledged that the death toll was certain to rise.
Brigette Williams, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross in Little Rock, estimated that up to 300 people were in the area when the floods swept through. Two dozen people were taken to hospital and 60 were rescued from high ground while relatives have reported that the whereabouts of 73 people are unknown.
The search was complicated not just by the terrain but by the fact rescuers did not even know how many people were missing. The floods swept away the campground register of who was staying at the site and it was not known how many people were camping further down the valley.
All morning yesterday, volunteers arrived with horses and dogs and towing quad bikes, kayaks and tractors – anything they thought could help in the hunt for the missing.
A command centre had been set up outside the post office in Langley. Outside, locals, volunteers and firefighters from nearby counties dressed in jeans and sturdy walking boots stood around waiting for instructions for where to resume the search.
Ricky Snider of the Ouachita National Forest Service told The Sunday Telegraph he had lived in the area all his life but had never seen floods like it.
"My dad said there was bad flooding in 1968 and then again in 1982 but this is the first I've seen anything like this in my lifetime," he said.
"We have flash floods here but not this bad. The river gets up, but it doesn't normally move stuff. We've found cars washed 10ft up in bluffs that are 60 and 100ft high.
"Almost all the people camping there – and those that are missing – had camped here their whole lives. We have to wait for the water to recede in some places. We can't get under some trees and debris to look so we're having to get dogs in to help."
Kim McCormick was sitting smoking a cigarette on the step outside a petrol station in nearby Glenwood,
"I told my nephew to go camping there this week," she says, wiping tears from her eyes. "In the end he didn't, thank God.
"People stop here on their way to kayak that 'little river'. But they don't understand the mountains – when it rains it sets off that river. My nephew is fishing today on Lake Greeson, just four miles down river from where this happened. I told him he'd better be prepared to find a body."

The video below will answer that question and more…
That bledsoe dunk just about sums up his basketball IQ.
After watching most the game last night. I have officially written off Javelle McGee for the nexts 2 years. He plays ball like an athletic, me me me minded never think before you do way too much energy can't focus talent. He has ALOT of maturing to do and ALOT of his game to develop. It all will start from his mental state, which right now is just uncontrollable when the lights go on and the whitle blows.
I hate watching him play now. He is shouldn't be starting. Yi should get the minutes.
Furthermore, I'm all done after this. It's like the only time he is in the right place at the right time is by chance. That Bledsoe dunk, Flip should have smacked him across the face.

Robotic System Enables Minimally Invasive Virtual Autopsies
The Virtopsy project, a multi-disciplinary project that involves forensic science, diagnostic imaging, computer science, automation technology, telematics and biomechanics, aims to develop new techniques to improve the outcome of forensic investigations.
The system consists of an industrial six-axis robot with additional extensions (i.e., a linear axis to increase working space, a tool-changing system, and a dedicated safety system), a dual source CT scanner with equipment for CT angiography, a digital photogrammetry and 3D optical surface-scanning system, a 3D tracking system, and a biopsy end effector for automatic needle placement.
This video presents a new approach in the field of minimally invasive virtual autopsy for a versatile robotic system that is able to perform three-dimensional (3D) surface scans as well as post mortem image-guided soft tissue biopsies.
The presented second prototype of the Virtobot system at the University of Zurich features automatic toolchange, increased accuracy as well as several workflow improvements.
Using the Virtobot, the surface-scanning procedure could be standardized and accelerated. The biopsy module is accurate enough for use in biopsies in a forensic setting.
