Gregg Popovch's chances of heading up USA Basketball in the immediate future are over.
But the Spurs might soon have at least one representative according to ESPN NBA expert Marc Stein, who floated this tantalizing tweet on Thursday:
Don't worry, @stackmack. Word is Kawhi Leonard will definitely be one of Coach K's 24 invitees to Team USA mini camp in Vegas, too
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) May 23, 2013
Houston's Chandler Parsons and Milwaukee's Larry Sanders have already confirmed invitations for the camp, which will be held July 22-25 in preparation for next year's FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain.
Not to get anyone's hopes up, but Leonard is rapidly developing into a perfect fit for one of the roles coach Mike Krzyzewski has cultivated on past teams to support stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Specifically that of the designated defensive stopper, filled by Tayshaun Prince in 2008 and Andre Iguodala in 2012.
Iguodala is only 29, and he's got the advantage of having played on the 2010 world championship team in addition to last year's Olympic squad. But with Leonard's superior 3-point shot — 37.5 percent in two seasons compared to 32.9 percent in nine for Iguodala — he might be a more attractive fit given the premium on floor spacing in FIBA play.
Leonard has been on USA Basketball's radar since last summer, when he played for the select team that helped the senior squad prepare for the Olympics in Las Vegas.
"He's opened a lot of eyes here this week," Team USA assistant Nate McMillan said then.
If Leonard didn't stick with the senior team immediately, he would at least be in the player pool USA Basketball maintains in order to develop continuity between competition cycles. (Next year's World Cup will be followed by the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.)
And, given his attitude, skill set and consistent improvement in just two short NBA seasons, it's not hard to imagine him donning the Red, White and Blue at some stage.

Pulmonary hamartoma mimicking lung tuberculoma in tuberculosis patient – a case report
Paweł Krawczyk, Kamila Wojas-Krawczyk, Elżbieta Czekajska-Chehab, Robert Kieszko, Małgorzata Zdunek, Marek Sawicki, Janusz Milanowski
Kardiochirurgia i Torakochirurgia Polska 2011; 8 (3): 371–373

Hamartomas are tumours of benign character, which represent abnormal mixture of mature tissue chaotically located within the organ of hamartomas' origin. Hamartomas are presented as solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) described as well-circumscribed, rounded, smooth edged, dense (without cavitation) pulmonary lesion,
3 cm or less in diameter. Pulmonary hamartomas are the third most common cause of SPN (5%-8%), just after malignant neoplasms and granuloma formations caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, atypical mycobacteria or fungal infections [1]. Most hamartomas are discovered incidentally and commonly among man, with the peak incidence during sixth or seventh decade of life [2]. In a large autopsy series from Mayo Clinic, pulmonary hamartomas were found in 2 of 7972 cases (0.025%) but incidence of pulmonary hamaratomas may reach 0.3% of general population [3].
Case report
A 54-year-old male patient presented with a round, smooth, well-defined, 2.5 cm in diameter lesion, with calcification, located on the apex of the left lung in clavicle "shadow" (Fig. 1A). In the initial diagnosis, the X-ray in oblique projection of lung apex was done for the differentiation from clavicle osteosclerosis (Fig. 1B). Hemoptysis was an individual symptom of the disease. Positive tuberculin test was 30 mm in diameter but Mycobacterium tuberculosis was not detected in microscopic slides as well as in standard culture. Bronchofiberoscopy examination and histopathologic examination of material from intrabronchial biopsy revealed chronic bronchitis. Family history of tuberculosis occurrence was negative but the tuberculosis was diagnosed and successfully treated when patient was 5 years old.
A computed tomography scan of left lung apex showed well-limited, irregular tumor (26 × 23 mm) with characteristic popcorn pattern of calcification (Fig. 2A, 2B). Density of the lesion ranged between –1 UH (small area) to 1354 UH (calcification). Inferior lobe of the left lung showed reduced volume with the presence of calcified tumor covered by fibrosis (14 × 11 mm) (Fig. 3A). This change corresponded to non-active tuberculosis. Moreover, several micronodular, intralobular changes encircled by grand glass opacities and expressing "the tree-in-bud" sign were found in inferior lobe of left lung (Fig. 3B). These lesions have been interpreted as bronchogenic tuberculosis dissemination.
Based on symptoms and CT imaging, tuberculosis and suspicion of tuberculoma was diagnosed. Patient started treatment with standard dose of rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide. In the antituberculotic drug cover, the patient was qualified to surgical resection of lesion. The tumor was enucleated. On pathologic examination the resected lesion measured 20 × 15 mm and a cut surface revealed gray and compact tissue. Surprisingly, the microscopic examination showed tumor which composed of mature hyaline cartilage. Based on these findings, pulmonary hamartoma was diagnosed and antituberculotic treatment was continued what resulted in disappearance of changes visible on X-ray.
90% of pulmonary hamartomas are located peripherally with only occasional lesions being central or endobronchial in location [4]. Parenchymal hamartoma consists of fibrous connective tissue, hyaline cartilage, fat and bone as well as bronchial epithelial cells arranged in disorganized fashion. Hamartomas are rarely symptomatic but in some cases are associated with hemoptysis and cough. The characteristic radiographic features of hamartoma are presence of popcorn-like calcification (seen in 10-15% of patients) but this is not diagnostic since calcifications may appear in tuberculosis as well. Therefore, differential diagnosis of tuberculosis and hamartoma is necessary, what our case report confirms [3, 5, 6]. Histopathological analysis of material from transthoracic needle aspiration biopsy (less than 85% of cases), transbronchial biopsy or surgical resection confirmed diagnosis of hamartoma [6]. Moreover, pulmonary hamartoma in our patient was predominantly cartilaginous, which only occurs in 1% of hamartomas [7]. Interestingly, there are reports that several pulmonary chondroid hamartomas had chromosome rearrangements involving the chromosomal regions 12p15 and 6p21. These regions include HMGI-C and HMGI(Y) genes, that encode DNA-binding proteins with
both chromatin structural and gene regulatory roles [8, 9].
Tuberculoma is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis. Similarly to hamartoma, X-ray examination typically showed a well-marginated round or sometimes oval opacity typically in the upper lobes. As necrosis and chronic disease occurs, calcification may be observed in the centre of tuberculomas. Generally the calcification is central but occasionally may involve most of the visible lesion. These lesions are generally stable for long periods of time demonstrating only slow growth over a period of several months or years. Cavitation is extremely rare within tuberculomas [10].
The relation between origin of tumor in lung apex and development of tuberculosis seems to be obvious, due to diagnosis of tuberculosis in our patient. In our study, we presented for the first time the pulmonary hamartoma coexisting with tuberculosis.
In the majority of hamartoma patients, the tumor is removed by wedge resection or enucleation and patients require no further treatment. However, in our patient further antituberculotic treatment was necessary.

Big Brother 15 Episode 21 (Spoilers): Jessie's Bold Moves Will Get Her Voted Out? (Online Live Stream)
Episode 21 of Big Brother 15 is coming this Wednesday night on CBS and will show the house's alliances as things get closer to the final four. The episode can be watched online through live stream (see details below).
Viewers will be able to witness the latest Power of Veto competition on the show. Furthermore, one of the biggest incidents this week will be shown; how Jessie made her bold move to get rid of powerful Amanda. She is also seen making alliances and backroom deals.
However, Jessie's plan to back door Amanda will fail as Andy goes and tells her. She is being supported by other house guests such as McCrae Olson, Andy Herren and Helen Kim, though they are feeling she has too much power.
According to CelebDirty Laundry, Jessie's move against Amanda is going to get her voted out of the house this Thursday, though she thinks she is staying.
Andy has won the HoH and PoV, so he has all the power, but he seems to be the weakest in the house. Therefore, he is expected to use the opportunity to try something new, such as getting rid of Helen or Amanda, but he doesn't use the PoV on anybody.
On Sunday's episode there was a shocking eviction of Judd Daugherty. The house guests were convinced that this was a good move to make. However, many of them admitted it was one of the hardest evictions of the season.
Episode 21 of Big Brother will air on CBS at 8 p.m. (EST) and can be watched online through live stream HERE. Aired episodes can be seen on CBS website.

EMA TimingDesigner and Altera's Quartus II Software
Post a comment
The folks at EMA Design Automation, a full-service provider of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solutions, have announced that their TimingDesigner version 9.1 includes support for SDC, which provides the ability to interface with FPGA and ASIC design flows.
They also say that TimingDesigner is the industry standard tool for interface timing design and that it provides an easy to use and intuitive method for defining and analyzing interface timing requirements. Furthermore, they claim that the introduction of version 9.1 makes TimingDesigner the only tool that can generate SDC timing constraints from a timing diagram. This enables users to visually define design requirements and then automatically generate SDC to drive place and route.
Generating SDC directly from a timing diagram removes any confusion as to the intent behind the constraints and allows users to visually debug and refine their SDC with ease. It also greatly reduces the learning curve for users new to the SDC format.
The initial release of TimingDesigner with SDC support focuses on the Altera FPGA design flow.
TimingDesigner 9.1 also includes a number of general productivity enhancements and updates as part of the ongoing efforts to provide the highest quality timing analysis software on the market.
Availability and pricing
TimingDesigner 9.1 will be available at the end of October 2008 starting at $2,995 and is free to existing customers with a valid maintenance contract. For more information, visit www.TimingDesigner.com or call 800-813-7494.

MONTVILLE, Conn. -- Sidney Frank, who grew up on a farm in rural Connecticut and rose to wealth and prominence as the creator, importer, and marketer of Grey Goose vodka died Jan. 10 in San Diego. He was 86.
Mr. Frank was a philanthropist, donating $12 million to Norwich Free Academy, his alma mater, in 2004. He also announced a $20 million donation and another $100 million scholarship endowment to Brown University, which he attended for one year before running out of tuition money.
''Everything I did in life, I thought big," Mr. Frank said in 2004.
Mr. Frank first tasted success in the liquor industry by marketing the German licorice-flavored liquor Jagermeister in the United States. He promoted the brand by paying models to go to bars and persuade college-age students to buy the drink, often by offering free shots administered with a spray gun.
''He's almost like the Warren Buffett of the spirits industry," Michael Harrelson, editor of the trade publication Nightclub and Bar, said in 2004. ''His choices in the spirits he chose to buy into are very carefully weighed and considered."
Mr. Frank began promoting Grey Goose in 1997, planting bottles in Hollywood limousines and marketing it as the vodka of the elite. In 2004, Mr. Frank sold Grey Goose Vodka to Bacardi & Co. Ltd. for $2 billion.
''Through hard work and determination, Mr. Frank led a full life that embodied the American dream," Ruth J. Simmons, Brown University president, wrote in an e-mail to students and staff.

It's outrageous that election officials in New York City and four other New York counties have failed to mail ab sentee ballots to our troops (and civilians) overseas. It's illegal, too.
The gross ineptitude violates the federal MOVE Act, a bipartisan law passed last year to ensure voting rights for the brave men and women deployed to foreign soil "to fight and die for us," as Mayor Bloomberg put it.
Taking into account the long, overseas transit times for mail, the law requires officials to send out overseas absentee ballots at least 45 days before an election. That deadline was Sept. 18. Yet, as of Monday -- weeks later -- the ballots still had not been mailed.
Meanwhile, the local officials' failure has been compounded by both inaction from the Justice Department and unwarranted action by the Defense Department.
The MOVE Act allowed states to apply to Defense (which administers the federal law) for a waiver of the deadline. Such waivers were to be granted only in case of "undue hardship."
The department granted New York a waiver because the Legislature failed to move up the Sept. 14 primary date to give officials more time to prepare the absentee ballots. But Albany's refusal to implement compliance with a federal requirement doesn't excuse responsible local officials from complying with federal law. Officials throughout the South learned that lesson after passage of the Voting Rights Act.
Moreover, the Defense Department's ill-considered conditional waiver still required local officials to mail their absentee ballots no later than Oct. 1. Yet the city and Putnam, Erie, Niagara and Westchester counties failed to meet even that deadline.
Four days after the extended deadline, the state Board of Elections got around to notifying the Justice Department of this failure.
Justice is charged with enforcing the MOVE Act. It should have filed a lawsuit immediately. In fact, its lawyers should have been on the phone Oct. 1 checking to make sure election officials had met the deadline.
But Justice lawyers took no such action. A department spokesman was quoted as saying that Justice was "in urgent discussions" with New York officials.
But Justice didn't engage in "urgent discussions" with Defense when New York's unjustified waiver application was being considered. Nor did Justice sue New York months ago when it became obvious that the Legislature was not going to implement federal law by moving the primary. And Justice didn't sue the city and the other four counties when it belatedly discovered that they had not even met the waiver conditions.
All of which is no surprise, given the consistent lack of attention this administration's Justice Department has given to protecting the voting rights of our military personnel.
News reports suggest that Justice may finally file suit this week, only two weeks before Election Day. But given the long delays in overseas mail and the abysmal disenfranchisement rate of military voters (only about a third of requested overseas ballots were cast or counted in 2006, according to the Election Assistance Commission), every day lost is precious.
Which is why Congress implemented the 45-day deadline to begin with -- to guarantee that military voters got their ballots in time to be returned and counted.
This screwup will affect more than 35,000 registered voters from the five boroughs who are overseas. Nearly 7,000 of them are military voters. How demoralizing for them to find they've been denied the opportunity to vote. This situation must be remedied legally, now. And all of the local election officials involved in this fiasco should resign or be fired.

my fav!
here is one not looking pretty.
From the looks of the picture. It looks like you could use a new back tire. Maybe one with a little more tread.
a new tire wouldn't have prevented this......just say'n....the cause goes much deeper.......
Bet this was a wonderful night.
Dude... That is crazy... In a good way. My two rides!
How does that handle?
Are you 2up?
None of the new wc bikes? C'mon guys/gals.......
Finished the day like this (water lapping up on the shore).
And woke up to this:
It really was a highlight of our trip.
Somewhere west of the Grand Canyon:
too cool
I'm sitting in an hotel room just shy of 3,000 miles from my bike and this is the last shot I have available of it.
There is a matching front tire I will install when I get home next. Plus a few more bits and pieces. If I can manage all the tasks in a day, I'll get to ride back to the valley of the blue-haired ninjas. Then I can go explore some more.
Thanks. Accumulated a bit of snow while grabbing a photo tag on Monday.

Voter bill has costly county consequences
Dear Secretary Brown, As Chairman of the Wasco County Commission, I would like to express my concerns regarding HB 3521 (FKA HB 2198-1). My concerns regarding the bill are: 1. Invasion of a citizen's right to privacy – many voters have opted out of being registered to vote to maintain their privacy – be it for religious, political or personal reasons.

Jessica Simpson Upskirt Thong!
Jessica Simpson was looking quite the hot orange mess while leaving Beso Restaurant with Tony Romo, Papa Joe, and Ashlee. A midget photographer must've snuck up her butt and shot these pictures because they are up in her dress.

Jennifer Hawkings Wardrobe Malfunction, exposes ass!
Flasback to 2004 when Jennifer Hawkins drops her skirt in front of an audience in Sydney. She has been freshly crowned Miss Universe in 2004. It was at Westfield Miranda, an Australian shopping centre, when she tripped on the hem of her dress, which fell to the floor. Hawkins was left scantily clad in her red thong in front of a surprised crowd. Hawkins later apologized, laughingly adding she "wished she wore better underwear"

Many MANY thanks to member KonAaron Snake !
I just wanted to post publicly a huge "Thanks" to Kon Aaron Snake for facilitating a purchase for me.
Not only did he make contact super fast after I posted my request, but got right on a CL post and already has the antique Mead Ranger heading my way ! The whole deal has been perfectly smooth. Then, after the fact, I find out he has a broken leg ! That is way above and beyond in my book. I only hope I can do as well when it's my turn to help him or someone else out. I am ever grateful to Aaron and also the existence of this Forum that a deal like this could be completed.
Joe - you were gracious, easy to deal with and it was my pleasure to assist. It's good for me to move around more now anyway. I'm actually going to post a thread about the whole experience later today...it had some, shall we say odd, coincidences. I think it will make a great story.
Suffice it to say, I had a lot of fun getting the bike and it was hardly a burden. The bike itself is a beauty - my only regret is not getting it for myself ;)

Josie went off to reception class with praise and encouragement ringing in her ears from nursery. She was expected to thrive.
We read with her a lot but she didn't seem to get it. By year 1, her friends had moved on and Josie had stayed behind. She was still unable to read words with more than one sound in them. She cried when we read and did anything to avoid it. She began to not want to go to school. She started to fall a lot – causing school to watch her at lunchtime to see if she was being bullied. We found out later she was falling over to draw attention to herself and avoid school.
By year 3 the other girls we far more advanced than Josie. She had sunk to the back of the class. She stopped trying anything new and refused to go to after school classes. Although she was present at school events – she was hidden completely at the back.
We asked school many times if there was a problem and we were told she was fine. She cried more and more about going to school. She described herself as stupid if she made any mistakes. Josie had lost a lot of weight. Her hair looked scraggy and her eyes were so sad. We also felt very stupid for letting things go so wrong for her and for believing the school that all was ok.
In year 4 she was taught by a very tough but experienced teacher. She called us in at parents evening and said she thought Josie might be dyslexic as she wasn't making good enough progress. She said that she was intelligent but was not performing to her ability.
We researched where to go for assessments and classes – we chose Dyslexia Action. We stayed with Josie during her assessment. We were both shocked at what she could not do. She knew she had been exposed in front of her parents, she was mortified. We were fighting back the tears as she was diagnosed as having a working memory problem and moderate dyslexia. Her self-confidence was very low and her ability to risk take was almost zero.
All those meetings asking professionals if everything was ok – we relied on them. All those hours of reading – wasted. All those angry moments of frustration where she wouldn't try – all that self-confidence being drained out of her and we had not really listened or seen or made it more bearable. We had to make things better for her.
Josie began Saturday classes at Dyslexia Action after a term on the waiting list. She was exhausted after each class but determined to not feel stupid anymore. She believed that she could get better at school.
By year 5 Josie was progressing well at school and attending Dyslexia Action classes. She was making up the gap between intelligence and attainment and she knew it. Confidence breeds confidence and Josie ended her time at primary school singing a solo in the end of year show followed by receipt of a Pupil Achievement Award – both on the same night!
We are really fortunate as we could afford to pay for Josie's assessment and her classes and had the time to take her to and from Saturday classes. For many people this isn't an option.
Josie has just started secondary school. She is back to dyslexia classes to support her transition. The staff at Dyslexia Action have been amazing all the way through. Things are much better for Josie and she is by no means bottom of the heap. She loves Spanish, art and is getting a taste for science.
Who knows what her future may bring – we are just pleased to be part of the adventure that is being part of her life.

|#EduHike - round 1
The #EduHike was great! I loved meeting a new friend, and seeing quite a few familiar faces. In total, we had 8 humans and 1 dog on our hike. During the hike, there was plenty of opportunity to chat with everyone. Too often at conferences and other meet-ups, we spend a lot of the time looking down at a device, and not making real connections. Or, we're too busy Tweeting, blogging, and Voxing to sit down with our PLN and just talk. Even though a lot of the conversation was face to back-of-head (safety!), I felt like the collaborative discussions I had were productive and pushed my thinking in new and deeper directions. There's something about being outside that allows us to relax and happily share our successes and struggles as teachers.
|We made it to the top!
Maria, Megan, Riley (dog!), Kate, Meryl, Mari, Nicole, Natalie, Nishantha
Here's the vlog I made on the hike. Vlogging is way out of my comfort zone, but I'm determined to practice and get better (and less awkward!).
#EduHike round 2, coming summer 2016!
PS. Interested in hosting your own? Go for it! I'm thinking about making this a thing at some point...

WH writes:
I've got an on-campus interview with MS and I'm (hopefully) looking at an SDET internship. I was wondering: What do you like most about being an SDET? What do you like the least?
The bug-finding problem space sounds completely interesting to me, but I thought it'd be best to get some thoughts from someone who's actively doing it. Anything you have to say on the matter is appreciated.
Excellent questions! My answers forthwith:
What I like most about being an SDE/T is an answer in three parts: First, I spend my day breaking things. You mean I get paid to bang on stuff until it busts? How cool is that? Mindless banging works for awhile, but once you get past the obvious bugs (that even a *Dev* could find <g/>) you have to get smart and devious if you want to experience the unmitigated pleasure of watching your app melt down.
Second, I get to design and write code all day. I'm a complete coding geek: I stare at my computer screen all day, then go home and stare at it all evening. And all weekend. And on vacation. I love to code. Writing code to make my app die horrible deaths is pure heaven.
Third, I have a pivotal role in making my customers happy by making my product the best it can be. This may sound hokey, but really I do this to make your life easier by giving you a high quality product that solves your problems. (A few of them, anyway; all of them is a bit out of my reach.) Making my developers cry is just a fortuitous side effect. <g/>
What I like least about being an SDE/T is postponing bugs. I get very frustrated when I can't do as much testing as I would like to, or when a bug is resolved by anything other than fixing it. I know there are marketing and financial reasons to release on a certain date with a certain set of features, and I'll sign off that my features are good enough to ship if they really are even though I think they could be better yet, but I would much rather ship a little later with a few less features but zero bugs.
Now that I'm a Test Technical Lead the amount of time I spend SDE/Ting is less and less, so let me answer the same questions about that role:
What I like most about being a Test Tech Lead is growing my team and helping them do great things. I've always enjoyed helping other people learn, and that's a big part of my job now. I have a great team to work with, too. By no means is it a one way relationship, either; I get at least as much out of the relationship as they do.
What I like least about being a Test Tech Lead, without a doubt, is politics. There's much less of it on my current team than there has been on other teams of which I've been part, but anytime a team has more than one person you have to deal with politics. I don't really understand politics -- nor do I want to -- but so far I've done well enough to avoid getting fired. <g/>
The best part of being a SDE/T at Microsoft is all the great people I work with. A very smart friend of mine says he's intimidated by all the smarties running around campus, and I have to agree. Knowing that everyone else in the room is way more intelligent than you is not exactly an ego booster, but it is good incentive to remedy that fact! Intelligent people who are passionate about what they're doing -- you couldn't ask for better teammates.
*** Comments, questions, feedback? Want a fun job on a great team? Send two coding samples and an explanation of why you chose them, and of course your resume, to me at michhu at microsoft dot com. I need a senior tester and my team needs a dev lead and program managers. Great coding skills required for all positions.

Manchester United (this version, anyway) was not supposed to even be on the same playing field as Bayern Munich, let alone ever provide a serious threat to the defending European and reigning Bundesliga champions in the Champions League quarterfinals.
But there were the Red Devils, leading in Germany and putting Bayern Munich on the back of its golden heels. And it was the much-maligned Patrice Evra, of all people, momentarily playing the role of hero. Evra's rocket off a bouncing loose ball from outside the box gave Manchester United a brief 2-1 aggregate lead over Bayern and sent shockwaves throughout the Allianz Arena.
The lead was short-lived, and Evra's day unraveled almost immediately after, as he was on the wrong end of the highlight reel for Bayern Munich's ensuing three goals -- including Mario Mandzukic's equalizer less than two minutes after his stunner -- that ensured there would be no upset on the day.
His goal, though, is worth another watch. Take a look below:

Has it occurred to you how that friend of yours who, by the way, isn't working anywhere nor does he have anything that resembles a real job, always seems to money is a bit strange? Surely he must have incomes on the side that you don't know about. If you eliminate the possibility that he isn't in shady business, the next logical and most common thing to think of is online betting. Earning money online by playing any casino game is becoming an increasingly popular way of getting that extra cash to pay the bills at the end of the month. If you haven't thought about it, here are a couple of examples on how and where to start.
Depending on what you want to achieve here, get some extra cash on the side or earn money, there are a couple of choices you can take. If you're up for the experience and relatively small amount, at least in the beginning, you should go for pokies or slot machines. They are by far the best introduction casino game to show you the basics of gambling and online casino games. Pick your favorite server, get your credit card associated with the account and you're ready to play. It's that easy, and the best thing about it is that you can start playing as soon as you've covered the payment method.
However, if you're up for making hefty amounts of money, or possibly creating a career, you should look for more complex games like poker, roulette or blackjack. You'll use the same account and login info; the only difference is that the stakes are a bit higher. So if you have a knack for poker or maybe blackjack, you should definitely try it out and see if you are any good at it. It doesn't cost you anything to try, so you might as well do it.
Now that you've got the basics of online gambling, why not make a career out of it? Many have succeeded, but this doesn't mean that it's an easy task. This road if filled with difficulties and tough moral choices, but at least the decision is solely yours as all the cards are in your hands. Celebrities that became popular and wealthy by playing poker, blackjack or roulette all started from scratch. No one who entered this gambling business was wealthy. They all started equally rich. So if you want to change your life, or if you've just been curious but never had the courage to try it out, now is the time to do it. The best things are that you don't have to leave home, this means no fancy clothes are required, and you don't have to attend crowded casinos to play. You can do everything from the comfort of your home. So why not give it a try? You won't know if you're any good at it until you try!

Larian Studios - Status Update
Lar has posted a new status update on the Larian forums. Lar talks about a number of projects including their educational stuff and an iOS game. It's fairly long, so here's a partial snip:
More information.
He appears to be very busy. Four projects in the making is a huge feat to accomplish.
Cant wait to see what they are. Obviously one of them is the next divine divinity game.
I thought they did only 2 projects active.
Good, I usually tend to like their games.
Good to know they are doing well. the moment I played Divine Divinity a bit, I sensed some very capable and deserving people are behind it and the more I played, that sense grew stronger.
Wish them success for the future ahead.
update" …
While i liked DKS I didn't think it was as good as Divine Divinity.
I thought I heard them mention they are doing another isometric style game? That has me excited but it could be the educational game they mention maybe?
the isometric game could maybe be an iOS game?
Yes, maybe, but I also think that it was "Project E" ? going to be isometric … Or the other one (don't remember anymore) …
There is a new update within this linked "Status Update" thread !
There is alrready an article here about Project D (and isometric Divine Divinity game) and Project E (Which is an Ego Draconis style Divine Divinity game) and it is probably Project A (for Apple) that is the IOS game.
4 projects at the same time seems much, I hope these projects won't drain Larian financially and mentally. I'm really looking forward to new isometric Divinity game, I hope they will release some screenshots or gameplay video of it in the near future.
its the best way..since well forever..can't remember what was the first isometric RPG i've played, maybe cadavar on the amiga.
In fact, other than WoW, I can't think of a single (modern) Blizzard game that doesn't use an isometric viewpoint.
I wouldn't get my hopes up too much about the isometric game. I have a feeling deep down inside that this isometric thingie will be like Lara Croft: The Guardian of Light to a "real" Tomb Raider game… or maybe a bit like Torchlight or something along those lines, i.e. a light-hearted actiony loot and click fest that will sell for under €/$ 20.00 or maybe even under 15.00 from Larian's own store (or at retail if it goes retail at all).
Which would be fine with me personally because isometric = lame, boring, predictable, simplistic point-and-click gameplay which bores me to tears and should only be allowed -BY LAW!!! :biggrin: - to be included in party-based games while 3D 3rd person or 1st person = fun, engaging, exciting, challenging, you-name-it :) .
Anyway, as for Larian's line-up I'm betting on something like this:
- Real sequel to ED full price game to be released on all major platforms
- Isometric low budget spin-off to possibly only be distributed digitally
- Browser game of some sort
- And finally a multiplayer-focused title, either an MMO (seems unlikely that they would invest in a full scale MMO but maybe a browser MMO) or something with an emphasis on cooperative gameplay
That would cover all of the bases as far as the current trends in gaming are concerned.
There's one simple reason that isometric point of view (possibly with 3D) has the potential of being deeper, it's because with a first person or over the shoulder point of view you have a basic view of the situation, you don't see further than your nose ie than the next wall. This approach put the player in a minimal knowledge to analyze, identify, see patterns, build a tactic and more, ie the player is put in soldier shoes.
At reverse the isometric approach put the player in the General chair, with many elements to analyze and just another level of information to understand and use in input for taking any decision from progression, to puzzles, secrets and fights.
What you think is the smarter? The general or the soldier? Ha well in those demagogic times I suppose many won't care and will only want be the soldier, and will think the soldier is smarter than his corrupted elite leaders.
I prefer when i can switch to isometric just by zooming out far enough, like in all recent Bethesda games, or in WoW etc. In first person the element of surprise is better, there's sense of height (e.g standing on a cliff looking down), there are game play elements possible that doesn't make sense or are hard to do in isometric (climbing/jumping/diving would be a few of them).
There are different points, the first is a matter of scale, when it's isometric but with a rather close point of view, it's not that far from a close 3rd person point of view.
So for sure isometric isn't really the point, but closer or further point of view. About games allowing very far view and close view, I think they hide a design lie, it's just fake and you can't design a game for both approach.
Yes the Soldier approach suit better the action and the General approach the thinking, and well we all know modern games followed a dumbed down evolution, so not really a surprise there isn't much more games with a far point of view and sort of iso like view.

Sydney - Australian scientists have found that a dietary supplement may help people who can't control their blood pressure with standard drugs.The secret weapon is garlic, according to a study published in the scientific journal Maturitas.In a 12-week trial involving 50 patients, Karin Ried and a team of colleagues at the University of Adelaide discovered that those who took four capsules a day of a supplement called aged garlic extract lowered their blood pressure by 10 points more than a group given a placebo.The effect was only found in those who had a so-called systolic blood pressure of at least 140 - the usual cut-off value for high blood pressure - at the outset of the study.Ried said that garlic taken in any other way, whether raw, fresh or in powdered form, doesn't have the same effect.'Secret weapon'"When you cook fresh garlic the ingredient which is responsible for reducing blood pressure disappears," she said."I think the really important point to make is that aged garlic extract as a supplement is the secret weapon for blood pressure."Garlic has long been thought to be good for the heart, and traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine practitioners have been promoting garlic for high blood pressure for centuries."Garlic has been used as a treatment to lower blood pressure in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years," said Sundari Ganesh, a practitioner of Ayurvedic medicine.But Ried said their research was the first to assess the impact of aged garlic extract, adding that it was evaluated as an additional treatment to other high blood pressure medication - for instance beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors.High blood pressure is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart and kidney failure. The risk of disease increases as the level of blood pressure increases.Around one billion people globally suffer from high blood pressure.
Oh come on. This is hardly NEWS. That particular property of garlic has been common knowledge for donkey's years. Jeez. Do you call this reporting?
And I am NOT referring to an erstwhile minister's AIDS remedy here.
Can't I just shower and reduced my BP?
Or why not look at the problem, why you got high blood pressure. Maybe if we cut out all the meat and dairy and alcohol, and eat good healthy grains, the blood pressure might disappear without the amazing new drugs scientist just DISCOVERED!
How did the Ayurvedic medicine practitioners measure or daignose low or high blood pressure thousands of years ago? Scientific theories that blood pressure varied from person to person first appeared in the 17th century and were proven and quantified with measuring techniques in the late 19th century. People need to think before making stupid statements.

WATCH: Measuring at 645 metres when unwrapped - is this the world's largest turban?
MEASURING the same length as 13 OLYMPIC-SIZED swimming pools - this could well be the world's largest turban.
Proudly owned by a devoted Sikh, Avtar Singh Manui, this extra large headgear weighs a hefty 100lbs and measures an astonishing 645 metres when unwrapped.
Mr Manui has been regularly adding to the colourful turban for the past 16 years and said that it now takes him an incredible SIX hours to put on.
"I don't consider it to be a burden," said the 60-year-old.
"I'm most happy when I wear it.
"I just keep putting on the cloth from top to bottom one layer at a time just like you would lay the storeys of a building.
"On the rare times I don't have my turban on I keep getting this feeling of being incomplete, that some part of me is missing.
"I get afraid that I may fall and I keep wondering 'have I lost something, where is my turban?'"
The current record for world's longest turban belongs to Major Singh, whose cloth measures at an impressive 400 metres.
I just keep putting on the cloth from top to bottom one layer at a time just like you would lay the storeys of a building
Mr Manui's turban is yet to be verified by Guinness World Record officials, but if he is proved correct, then he will trounce Mr Singh's current record.
He claims that the purple and orange cloth alone weighs 66lbs but the additional decorative ornaments tips the scales at a whopping 100lbs.
While he is incredibly proud of his headgear, Mr Manui admits that the only downside is trying to enter doorways and get into cars, which proves almost impossible.
In full costume, Mr Manui cruises on a motorcycle across the Punjab region of India where he has become somewhat of a local celebrity.
"When I go out a huge crowd gathers around me.
"Some are amazed beyond belief and tell me 'you are great for carrying such a large turban.
"'You must have been blessed with lots of energy'," said Mr Manui, who belongs to the prestigious warrior order of Sikhs, known as Nihangs.
"But sometimes all they want is to take a picture, so I loudly tell them to stop.
"After all it takes me hours to put on my turban and all they want is to take a quick picture and then run away."

In the first chapter of his Gospel account, Luke recorded Mary's song of praise to God, sometimes called the "Magnificat." Alistair Begg explains how this song illuminates the reason for Jesus' incarnation: God's love for fallen humanity. We are challenged to acknowledge that our significance depends on His mercy, not our own merits, and we are encouraged to trust this loving, merciful God with our hearts and lives.
History, Mystery, Divinity
In communicating the incarnation of Christ, the gospel writers were very clear on certain key points. They were writing history, events that really happened and not legends or fables, yet those events held a deep mystery that could not be explained by natural means. The reason for this paradox is plain: the One coming to redeem the world was God Himself, divinity in the form of a human baby. In this series, Alistair Begg focuses on the principles of history, mystery, and divinity to explore Luke's account of those who first heard about the Savior's coming. As we observe the faith and obedience of Elizabeth, Zechariah, and Mary, we are challenged to praise God for His goodness and receive His gift of salvation.

Infineon, Micron to develop reduced latency DRAMs for high-speed systems
Post a comment
MUNICH -- Infineon Technologies AG and Micron Technology Inc. today announced plans to co-develop a new series of reduced latency DRAMs for high-performance memory applications, such as switches, routers, and other high-bandwidth systems.
The memories, called RLDRAMs, will initially operate at data rates as high as 600 megabits per second per pin on devices, while reducing latency to a fraction of competing architectures, said the two chip makers. Infineon and Micron said the unique internal memory architecture of the RLDRAMs will allow "ultra-fast" random access, closing the speed gap that currently exists between DRAM and SRAM chips.
"Our agreement goes far beyond an arrangement to merely develop common specifications within a multi-generational roadmap," said Ernst Strasser, marketing director of graphics and specialty DRAM memory products at Infineon in Munich. "The RLDRAM co-development agreement includes activities providing customers with the assurance of functionally compatible, high-performance RLDRAM architectures from each company.
"Collectively representing the most advanced technologies and a large share of the DRAM market, the commitment of Infineon and Micron to RLDRAM assures users these functionallycompatible, high-performance memories will be widely available," he added.
Infineon and Micron in Boise, Idaho, plan to work together ensuring multiple sources for new RLDRAMs by developing pin- and function-compatible products.
"Micron is committing to this technology because it will drive the development of the memory products our customers need to design their future data networking systems," said Jerry Johnson, director of strategic marketing for networking products at the Boise company. "RLDRAM is the most cost effective means to achieve the high-bandwidth, low-latency memories required by future generations of high-speed data networks," he added.
