Institutional Change and its Economic Consequence in Japan: The bright and dark sides of hybridization
Central to recent changes in corporate Japan is the dominance of hybrid firms which combine market-based principles and relational governance in different economic domains such as finance and organizational architectures (employment system). Since hybridization is opposed to the institutional complementarity that is at the core of the varieties of capitalism argument, the natural questions are whether it is transitional to the Anglo-Saxon model or if it has stabilized in a new equilibrium, and whether it is productive or counterproductive. The purpose of this paper is to address these questions. First, by examining several key variables concerning corporate governance, the paper tentatively concludes that the hybrid pattern has been more dominant. Second, this paper illustrates the impact of changing governance arrangements on corporate behavior such as research and development (R&D) investment, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), business reconstruction decisions, distribution policy, and performance. Overall, the hybrid pattern of corporate governance has actually affected corporate behavior, and by doing so, had productive effects among Japanese firms. Lastly, the paper considers the potential costs of hybridization. Hybridization, almost by definition, implies declining system effects of former complementarities (e.g. main bank system and long-term employment), but what we are concerned with is whether the hybrid pattern of institutional change is associated with additional costs that diminish the competitiveness of Japanese firms. The paper raises some conjectures on this issue.

I'm So Old I Remember When Leftists Didn't Implicitly Trust The Government
Their hippie elders can't be proud:
(click to enlarge)
So...a government department investigates itself for wrongdoing and finds nothing and...MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE HERE?!?!?
In just a few generations, the progressives have gone from "Question Authority" to "Question Nothing". This speaks to just how powerfully ingrained the misbegotten notion of a benevolent government has become. They have done a 180 on one of their central premises just because the idea of "free" stuff has seduced them.
Creepier every day.

BOTH the short-term pre-leasing and long-term asset performance prospects of Shanghai Tower remain largely upbeat, industry analysts say, citing mainly the iconic image and strategic location of this new Shanghai landmark.
The 632-meter skyscraper in the heart of Little Lujiazui in the Pudong New Area, which held a topping out ceremony on Saturday to mark the placement of the last beam on the building's main structure, is set to become China's tallest building upon its completion in 2015 and will house premium offices, a luxury hotel and top-grade retail spaces, according to Shanghai Tower Construction & Development Co, developer of the 125-story building.
"Despite the projected huge supply of Grade A offices in Shanghai in 2015, which could intensify competition among the landlords and place pressure on office leasing and rentals, we expect Shanghai Tower to benefit from the "cluster effect" of Lujiazui CBD and have a better chance to outperform the market average, given its iconic image, high specification and strategic location," said Sam Xie, director of research at CB Richard Ellis Shanghai. "In particular, it will remain attractive to financial institutions and corporate headquarters who typically require premium quality space in a top-profile building."
Shanghai is projected to see a supply peak in 2015 when a total of 2 million square meters of Grade A offices will be released to the market if all pipeline projects are delivered on schedule, of which about a quarter will be in the core area of Pudong, CBRE data showed.
But before that, only a fairly limited supply of Grade A offices, around 100,000 square meters, are due to be released in the area this year and next.
The average office rental in Shanghai dipped 0.1 percent quarter on quarter to 250 yuan (US$40.8) per square meter per month during the April-June period, with rental movement in Puxi and Pudong diverged based on different supply-demand pattern, according to CBRE's latest research. The average rent in Puxi declined 0.3 percent quarter on quarter mainly due to plenty of new supply and the decentralization trend while tight supply in Pudong drove rents up 0.5 percent from the first quarter.

Ezreal Build Guide by Consher
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue

The big damage
Ezreal Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
The myth, the man, the legend.
Once upon a time in the far away land of Runeterra (retconned) there was a man that went by the name of Essreel. He was the ultimate despair and traveled far and wide to show beings of less worth why he was the greatest. People from Ionia to Demecia began to revere him, and treated him like a god. Gone were the days of Nasus and Aatroc, there was a new daddy in town. As time went on however, Essreel started to question his status as a diety. "I don't even do anything lol" he thought, and decided to step down. Now Essreel travels around the world in disguise, looking for answers about himself.
Ezreal in the jungle or toplane
As you may know, Ezreal is typically played in the bottom lane as an Attack Damage Carry. We however believe strongly in Ezreal's early game, which is why this build is focusing on Ez in the top lane or the jungle.
What makes him a GENIOUS pick.
Ezreal is probably THE hottest guys in leauge of legends. As such, he gets "Chad" status and can do whatever the **** he wants. Remember that kiting is key when playing a ranged champion.
No but for real though.
Honestly though, Ezreal has, in my opinion, one of the strongest early to mid games of any champion. When he's ahead, he becomes almost unkillable and does crazy damage. Now, while this build is very much different to botlane Ezreal because it's an AS build and not a tear/frozen mallet build, you still have a very strong early game, and I very much advise you to play aggressive early on. With your passive, fervor stacks really fast and you can cheese easily. If you play jungle, I recommend farming until blue smite and ganking then. Ez has no CC on his own so blue smite is vital when ganking early.
Clear route
ALWAYS start krugs, because you need red buff for the first clear. Kiting is vital and you will probably be low after raptors so I advise you to back the. Since you're Ezreal, the enemy jungler will probably play agressive so I wouldn't recommend going for scuttle. You lose most 1v1s against the current meta junglers

Star Wars Movies
February 6, 2012 by staff
Star Wars Movies, Many of the best-received commercials during Sunday's Super Bowl referenced movies — they just weren't for movies heading to the local cineplex any time soon.
Several car ads that sparked some of the biggest interest on Twitter and other social-media platforms during the big game alluded to classic older films. Meanwhile, studio spots for major upcoming releases — including Marvel's "Avengers," Universal's "Battleship," Disney's "John Carter" and Paramount's "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" — passed without any great excitement or anticipation from a large number of online commenters. Companies paid an average of $3.5 million for a 30-second spot, to be seen by what ratings experts believed would be well over 100 million viewers.
Marketers paid homage to "Star Wars" (Volkswagen) and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (Honda) during the big game, generating strong word-of-mouth before and during the action.
Volkswagen revisited the boy in the Darth Vader mask from its buzzed-about 2011 spot titled "The Force," bringing the child back to settle an issue in the "Star Wars" cantina. Meanwhile, in a spot directed by Todd Phillips and starring Matthew Broderick, Honda made numerous references to "Bueller" without ever mentioning the 1986 movie's name. The commercial aired early in the fourth quarter at 60 seconds, truncated from its more than 21/2-minute run-time online last week.
Both the "Bueller" and "Star Wars" commercials played on the nostalgia that those in key thirty- and fortysomething demographics have for those properties.
Fox attempted to make use of that nostalgia more literally with its commercial for "Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace 3D," hoping to kick off a Skywalker revival when the movie opens in 3-D this Friday.

What Ford's 2013 F-Series Super Duty offers is a truck that's tough and capable but also comes with features that make driving a pleasant experience. For the first time ever, a Platinum series model will be offered. Ford is also offering the addition of SYNC® with MyFord Touch. The F-Series Super Duty Platinum builds on the success of the F-150 Platinum light-duty series that made its debut in 2009.
However, customers will also get the best truck luxury amenities. In 1999, Ford pioneered the high-end luxury truck segment when it presented the special-edition 2000 Harley-Davidson F-150. The first King Ranch Super Duty arrived in 2003 and then the 2004 Harley-Davidson Super Duty came after. What Ford has in its current lineup now are several high-end Lariat and King Ranch Super Duty models.
It believes that this new Platinum will fill the rising luxury requirements of its customers and dealers. It is offered just in the Super Duty crew cab and could be ordered as an F-250, F-350 or F-450 pickup and with the Ford-designed and Ford-built 6.7-liter Power Stroke® diesel engine or the 6.2-liter V8 gas engine. The Platinum series has a grille that comes with a satin chrome surround enhanced by perforated mesh inside. This grille is highlighted by chrome tow hooks and a monochromatic bumper. Chrome is used heavily on the Super Duty Platinum exterior, including the door handles, mirror caps, running boards and exhaust tip.
The "Platinum" name in chrome letters is used on the boxside on both sides of the truck. Its tailgate is trimmed with a satin chrome appliqué, the same as the one applied on the F-150 Platinum. Making it more stunning are 21-inch polished-aluminum wheels with painted black inserts. Its interior has unique wood grain appliqués that raise its luxury level. Its steering wheel is heated and covered with leather and comes with genuine wood accents.
Premium wood grain is used to cover the instrument panel, center stack and door trims. There is a new storage area found on top of the dash that consists of two USB ports, SD card slot, audio-video connections, and a 12-volt charging port that could be used for cell phones and other digital devices.
Truck customers today no longer compromise on efficiency, capability, and refinement, unlike before, when a truck was generally a little more than just a spartan work vehicle. Enter Ford's 2013 F-Series Super Duty, which eliminates any trace of compromise.
Now, capable heavy-duty trucks are equipped with award-winning voice-controlled connectivity in their cabs, thanks to Ford SYNC. With Standard Ford SYNC, Super Duty drivers can now connect mobile phones or media players – as long as they are compatible – via Bluetooth or USB so they can make calls as well as play back music with the use of voice control. Moreover, they will get access to no-charge lifetime features like 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Report, as well as to SYNC Services such as business search, traffic alerts, and more, all while they keep their hands planted on the wheel and their eyes focused on the road.
The new F-Series Super Duty is built on SYNC with MyFord Touch, a feature that is available for the very first time. It provides a new eight-inch, high-resolution touch-screen display that gives drivers easy and convenient access to their phones, as well as access to entertainment, navigation, and climate control features, together with an impressively expanded voice control vocabulary. Additionally, this 8-inch display screen provides drivers a large and clear view of the truck's behind when in reverse, thus helping them maneuver in limited spaces or line up traditional trailers with their truck's hitch.
MyFord Touch is unique to Ford F-Series models. Designers have optimized the screen's physical interface in order to accommodate truck drivers or users who may be wearing gloves. The screen gives them easy access to audio presets and climate controls on the center stack.

Phantom Limb and Sea Legs are the only tracks worthwhile on this
Album Rating: 4.5Every song on this album is awesome. Finally got this on vinyl, sounds freaking amazing.
Digging: Tetragrammacide - Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix
Album Rating: 5.0I've always kind of hated The Shins since they first came out. Thought they were a bunch of twee pansies who made Death Cab look full of testosterone by comparison.
This is the one album of theirs that impressed me....it gives me the same vibes of wonder, introspection, and self-discovery that I get from albums like Funeral or Aeroplane.
Sleeping Lessons makes me want to go find everyone who's ever wronged me and spit in their face......in a positive, self-improving kind of way.
Album Rating: 3.5"Phantom Limb and Sea Legs are the only tracks worthwhile on this"
Disagree but both are great tracks for sure.
"Phantom Limb and Sea Legs are the only tracks worthwhile on this"
Australia is their best song though.
Album Rating: 3.7Basically to sum up the Shins:
Oh, Inverted World = Classic album and an essential addition to any indie collection
The rest of their career = 3.5
Isn't Sea Legs that rap song..
Album Rating: 3.7Ermm no.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GAIkESrQr0 I got sea legs.
Album Rating: 3.7Shins' song is better.
Both get me going.
Album Rating: 4.5This is a good album to listen to as well.
Album Rating: 4.0"Oh, Inverted World = Classic album and an essential addition to any indie collection
The rest of their career = 3.5"
Nope. Inverted is really good, but Chutes Too Narrow is better.
off with their heads
Digging: Gang of Youths - Go Farther in Lightness
Album Rating: 3.5Sleeping Lessons has got to be my favorite song ever. lol
Album Rating: 4.0I strangely have a lot of plays of A Comet Appears
Album Rating: 4.0A stronger girl would shake this off in flight
And never give it more than a frowning hour
But you have let your heart decide
Loss has conquered you
Album Rating: 4.0Born on a desert floor, you've the deepest thirst
And you came to my sweet shore to indulge it
With the wan and dreaming eyes of an orphan
But there is not enough
There is not enough
Album Rating: 4.0Can't stop listening to this at the moment. Very very good
Album Rating: 4.0Extremely solid album that sounds very nice indeed. Just gave it the first full listen in quite a few years.You can tell Mercer just wanted the other guys in the band to fuck right off and let him do his thing. See: Sea Legs. Amazing song.

1) I am looking for this too soon?
2) Or is RCS too new to loan business?
Thank you for your insight. Here is some info on RCS from 10/31/13:

Even though it had been months since 4-year-old Destany Barker received a life-saving liver transplant, sometimes Barker's stepsister still couldn't help but cry when thinking about all that Destany had endured.
Then Destany would actually do the comforting: "She'd come over to me and say, 'It's OK, sister. It doesn't hurt anymore, see?' rubbing her belly," where a 6-inch scar remains from the surgery, said Victoria Lopez, 17. "Even when she was at her worst, she was the one hugging us saying, 'It's going to be OK.' She's an amazing little girl."
On Wednesday, more than 50 of Destany's friends and family members gathered at a local restaurant to celebrate the one-year anniversary of her liver transplant - long enough to indicate that Destany's body will not reject the liver and that the transplant was a success.
"She's doing really well; there are no signs of rejection or anything," said Destany's mother, Priscilla Masseo.
Destany, herself, had way too much energy to sit in one place during the celebration, but when asked how she feels, she's quick to show the perfectly healed scar just below her rib cage - accompanied by a wide smile.
"She's a normal kid now," said Destany's stepfather, Gabe Lopez,while adoringly watching her run around the restaurant with her friends from day care. "Just to see her run around and be a little kid - it's great."
When Destany was born in February 2009, her skin was jaundiced, prompting doctors to order a series of diagnostic tests. A couple weeks after her birth, Crescent City doctors told Masseo that her daughter's liver was in poor condition and she needed to be immediately flown to University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center for examination. Tests revealed Destany had an inherited disorder that can cause liver disease: alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
Doctors told Masseo that Destany could live out her entire life without complication or she could need a liver immediately.Destany had frequent doctor visits every few months to monitor her condition, but she remained stable.
"Destany was perfectly fine until August 2011," Masseo said on Wednesday, wearing a UCSF sweat shirt.Then the girl became jaundiced and her abdomen and face swelled alarmingly.
A poster board covered in photographs at Wednesday's celebration demonstrated the severity of Destany's symptoms that summer:brownish-yellow colored skin and a swollen stomach more akin to a third-trimester pregnancy.Across the top, it read: "A rough start."
Destany and her mother flew to San Francisco again, spendinga month undergoing a variety of tests. Destany went on a diet that limited her intake of sodium, which her liver had difficulty processing, and keeping her fluids down to one liter per day to prevent swelling.
Upon returning to Crescent City, the hunt was on for a liver for Destany. Her condition inspired complete strangers to commit time and energy to help in the search.
After seeing a local TV news report about Destany's illness, Crescent City resident Tonya Byrnes was overwhelmed with empathy. A chromosomal condition required Byrnes' own daughter to undergo open heart surgery at 13 months old.
"Something in me just said 'you have to do something - you know what it's like,'" Byrnes said at the celebration.
She created a Facebook page for Destiny's cause and also started a fundraiser to help pay for the family's costs of living in San Francisco while receiving care.
Byrnes had a friend from Portland who was undergoing tests to see if she could donate part of her liver, but Destany's situation suddenly demanded more urgency.
On Feb. 28, 2012, Masseo was driving Destany to San Francisco for yet another test when she started to have a seizure. Two days later, Doctors told Masseo that Destany's condition had worsened to a point where she probably could not leave until she received a liver transplant.
"On March 5, I woke up to the doctors, the surgeons, the anesthesiologists - they were all surrounding her crib, and they told me that they got an offer on a liver," Masseo said. "I thought I was dreaming the whole time they were talking to me.I said, 'Is this a dream or is this real?' They all started laughing and said 'No, this is real. It's a 16-year-old boy from Reno and that's all we can tell you.'"
Masseo later learned that the boy died in a house fire and his family had donated his organs.
As soon as Lopez heard that Destany would be going into surgery, he started driving quickly to San Francisco to be by her side beforehand. A little too quickly.He had to explain the reason for his haste to a highway patrolman, who happened to know Lopez from high school and let him go with a warning.
Another poster board at the celebration was covered in photos and read, "A new beginning." Itshowed Destany coming out of surgery and signs of her quick recovery: skin free of jaundice and abdomen free of swelling.
Throughout Destany's life and especially during recovery, day-care provider Terri Fassio became like a part of the family, Masseo said. Fassio was able to keep Destany on the strict diet plan laid out by doctors.
"I don't take 'no' for an answer when it comes to food and sleep," Fassio said. "She wasn't going to die on my watch."
Fassio's son, Sam Lockyer, who has provided day care to Destany and is known by the young girl as "Uncle Sam," also jetted down to San Francisco right before the surgery to provide support to the family. The family continues to care for Destany.
"It's really nice to see her not have to struggle, wondering when her last breath will be," Lockyer said. "We can let her enjoy life now."
Destany's story has been inspiration for family and strangers alike.
"I tell her she's my hero. She's been through more at 4 years old than most adults," Lopez said.
The experience gave Lopez a new appreciation for medical professionals. The assistant boys basketball coach at Del Norte High School plans to create a fund called "Destany's Angels" that will issue four-figure scholarships for DNHS graduates for as many years as he can keep it going.
"I could never do that kind of job and if someone is willing to do that, I'd like to help them," he said.
Destany's medical bills were covered by California Children's Services, a state program administered by the California Department of Health Care Services for children with certain diseases and health problems.

I ordered this ring for a christmas gift for my husband to replace his lost ring. The ring is.simple yet elegant and has a nice weight to it. After wearing it for the first time we noticed scratches on the finish, Needless to say, that after wearing the ring for one year it is all scratched. The jeweler said it could be buffed out but the scratches will return every time you tap your hand on any surface.Read More
we priced locally and nothing came close to O's prices. we inscribed in the metal with no issues and he loves it.Read More
This ring is nice and it is wide which looks good on a man's finger, just wish it were a little heavier, but overall happy.Read More
I picked this ring after narrowing the choices down from six. I love the style and craftsmanship. It is very similar to my fiancé ring which I also purchased from Overstock. The rings will look lovely together on our wedding day and there after.Read More
This ring turned out very nice. I was sceptical to make such an important purchase online but really had no choice because my husband's ring size (12) is uncommon, and a special order from a jeweler would have taken 6-8 weeks. I only had 2 weeks before the wedding when I ordered it online from overstock. The ring was exactly as described. My husband is a big guy so the 8mm band was proportional. He has only worn it a few weeks and it has worn well. Sometimes a brushed soft metal gets scratches and dents but this one is holding up quite well. I selected the 3 day shipping and they required a signature for delivery. The price was very good which was surprising for a ring of this size made of white gold. I was quoted 3-4 times the price at several jewelers. We are very happy with the purchase.Read More
i always thought this ring would look better on hand and i was right! I like the simple elegant design. It fits perfectly well on me. I'm thinking of having my name engraved on it!Read More
This is just so nice. My boyfriend love it so much that he gave me a big kiss and hug! I never saw him this happy before. The ring was perfectly crafted! btw thanks for the prompt delivery! arrived just in time for his birthday.Read More

Sixteen confirmed for Champion
HARDY EUSTACE, the winner of last season's Smurfit Champion Hurdle, heads 16 confirmations for this year's renewal at Cheltenham next Tuesday. The only surprise absentee is the Howard Johnson-trained Inglis Drever, who was expected to be confirmed for the race even though the Ladbrokes World Hurdle is his likely target.
Back In Front, trained by Edward O'Grady, has also been confirmed at the five-day stage, as has Harchibald, who is pleasing Noel Meade, his trainer, once again after disappointing in a racecourse gallop last weekend.
Rooster Booster, the winner of the 2003 Champion Hurdle, heads the home defence, backed by Intersky Falcon, Self Defense and Royal Shakespeare. However, Philip Hobbs, Rooster Booster's trainer, has had to abandon plans to run him in two races at…

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was worth paying the $299 to get listed in the Yahoo directory?
I currently get about 500 visitors per day from Yahoo as a result of the Google index.
What do you actually get for the $299? if I am already getting visitors as a result of being in the Google database?
Does anyone know about what you get for the $299?
Thank you

Regret to say the answer is "it depends". The $299 gets you reviewed, and if you pass the quality test, then you get listed in the directory.
1. There are those that argue that being in the Yahoo directory gets you a pagerank boost in Google.
Some say it's the normal boost you get from an incoming link. others say there's a special "bonus boost" for a yahoo listing.
Whatever, it's difficult to say whether this boost is worth $299
2. People do browse the Yahoo directoy. You'll have to do some guesswork as to how many people you can expect from the category you're listed in. If you check out category sponsored listing prices, that can help estimate the popularity of the category.
I have a site that gets 0 visitors from the directory, and another one that gets 200 a day.
Other possible advantages are that it gets you "out there" and can lead to other sites linking to you. It's a minor plus if you happen to sell your site down the road.
All of which assumes you get accepted.
There's also another unknown, namely how Yahoo will present search results in the future. At the moment, it's largely google. But since Yahoo just bought Inktomi, that might change. And directory listings might become more important.
Essentially, it's a calculated risk.
I submit my sites because it costs me about $150 (after tax) and I know my sites convert well enough to pay back the fee relatively quickly, even with little directory-only traffic.

My main site is currently making about $1,200 in commission per month. I get over 1,000 visitors per day. If the $299 per year resulted in enough traffic to pay for itself, then it would be worth it.
I have a lot of top 3 placements in Yahoo & Google, including quite a few number 1's
It is just a lot of money to pay with no guarantee even to be listed.
Not sure what to do. Although I am sure my wife would decide for me when I ask her for $299

IMHO, it is not in the least worth it! Whatever would be achieved by the listing, can be achieved through other means more cheaply and with more certainty.
May 7th, 2003, 12:15 PM #5
I think the answer to this question will be different 6 months from now. I don't think that Yahoo wants people to STOP paying them $299, so I would expect a better return on your money in the future, probably when they integrate inktomi.

Right now I'm holding off on yahoo submissions. I know... the argument is it will give you a PR boost but so will a link from any other site. Soooo... I say not worth it.

I paid $299 to have a site listed in yahoo. I was getting good traffic for a while then it plummeted when they switched to google search results because my site did not have good ranking in google. The only benifit currently for listing in yahoo is the PR boost you may get. The PR boost you get is not even very much and now that it is $299 per year I no longer focus on yahoo.

National Basketball Association: ATL vs. SA
Atlanta Hawks (37-29, 18-14 away) at San Antonio Spurs (51-14, 24-6 home)
March 13, 2017- 8:00 PM ET (TV TNT) AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX
In what is expected to be a shorthanded San Antonio Spurs team come Monday night, they will welcome in the visiting Atlanta Hawks for an interconference clash at the AT&T Center that has the following betting lines;
Best Hawks Lines: BetOnline Spread "See Live Odds"
Best Spurs Lines: MyBookie Spread "See Live Odds
Over/Under: 5Dimes "See Live Odds"
If the Spurs are seeking to finally catch the Golden State Warriors for the best mark in the NBA, they may have to do it without some key players when they take the floor at home as team MVP Kawhi Leonard (concussion protocol), LaMarcus Aldridge (minor heart arrhythmia) and floor general Tony Parker (back stiffness) were all out in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Golden State rested four of their big guys plus were still without injured Kevin Durant as they proved to be no match against the streaking Spurs who won handedly 107-85 in a game that wasn't a fair fight.
The home victory moved the Spurs to 51-14 to put them just one-half game back of Golden State for tops in the NBA.
For Monday, however, only Parker is expected to be back in action as they will seek the season split against the Hawks. Leonard's status is still unknown but appears close to returning. For Aldridge, no timetable is set for the second-year man with San Antonio as he must await medical clearance.
On the Hawks side of the ball, they will be riding a three game win streak after taking down the Memphis Grizzlies on the road with a 107-90 victory to move their record to 37-29. Despite the roll of the Hawks, they trail a red-hot Washington Wizards team by 4 ½ games in the Southeast Division.
Big man center Dwight Howard is expected back in action after resting in Saturday's win and will play a big part in Monday's contest as the Hawks seek the season sweep. Atlanta defeated the Spurs at home on New Year's Day with a 114-112 thrilling overtime win.
With a chance to catch the Warriors with a win, the Spurs will be plenty motivated to take it to the Hawks, but the Hawks will have plans of their own. Leading up to this ATL vs. SA matchup, we still await the complete betting lines from two of the best sportsbooks MyBookie and BetOnline.
We can expect the Spurs to have the slight advantage being at home but let's see what the experts deliver before deciding our best bet for our money.

I am currently acustomed to casting my larger weight rods (7-9wt) is there a big difference between a 5wt and a 7wt? will I need to completely adjust my casting stroke to accomodate for the weight difference?

I am currently acustomed to casting my larger weight rods (7-9wt) is there a big difference between a 5wt and a 7wt? will I need to completely adjust my casting stroke to accomodate for the weight difference?
Hi tbrillinger223,
How goes the Snook fishing. Did you ever get out again?
Are you going to be fishing Saltwater or are you doing some trout fishing? I am going to assume you are trout fishing. You will find that your normal casting stroke will do just fine just throttle back a bit. You won't have to be doing a lot of double hauls like you are use to for saltwater. Downsize your tippets and have at it. You will have a lot of line mending and line control that you don't have to worry about with saltwater.
As usual Frank has nailed it pretty well. My experience (which doesn't include salt water but just fresh water trout/salmon river/stream/lake wading/tubing) with my vintage 7'7" Scientific Anglers System 5 fiberglass, my Sage 8'9" 5-wt. SP and my Sage 10' 7-wt. XP, as well as a borrowed 8-wt. in Alaska for salmon, has been that the same style works with all of them. The major difference to me is not so much in line weights but in the action of the particular rod, from my slow S.A. fiberglass to the medium flex of the Sage SP to the fast Sage XP. I guess I would add that in windy conditions (no stranger to you on saltwater, I am sure), the 5-weight will be more difficult to project out than the heavier rods you are used to using.
All above advice is right on, but I'll add a trick/short-cut that may help. Try casting with your index finger paralell to the rod, instead of curled around it and part of the gripping force. You won't be able to cast the rod as force-fully, and this will likely help you figure out what is the optimal amount of power with which to cast that rod. Once you've got that down, feel free to go back to casting with the normal grip.
thanks for the insight guys. what tippett size should I start with? I guess I will need to practice for a while before heading up to the carolinias.
we went out 2 weeks ago for some tarpon.... at 11:30pm the water temp was around 85-87 degrees, found a lit dock holding a few in the 20-40lb class. threw shrimp pattern and worked for the hook up. The fish took 2 jumps and then just layed down. That was the shortest fight of my life. heading out tonight to see if we can put some more tarpon and snook on the fly.
For the small streams you could use a 7.5 foot 5X leader. Take some 5X and 6X tippet material and you should be good to go. If you will be fishing a river you might need a 9' leader with same tippet.
Good luck with those Tarpon.
I got my 5wt. today, my friendly ups driver delivered it. I bought the Cabelas Genesis "starter" kit 5wt 4pc.(when I bought it, I thought I would only use it 2-3 times a year.) I put it all together at my office and tried it out at one of the local lakes. I found that I only needed to adjust my "power" slightly, It casts beutifully. I found it does rather well with a breeze to my back and I need to work on "punching" the wind with that lite line. I was getting 20-30 feet right away, its going to take some getting used to but I think with enough practice i should be getting 40-50 by the 15 of september. I did manage to hook several ciclids, bream and one decent sized bass that made a good short run before breaking the leader (5x tapered leader)
(I used to use my 7wt. for this sort of fishing) NOW I AM REALY REALY HOOKED ON THIS SPORT!!!!
As for the tarpon, we went out to our usual docks and couldnt even buy a bite. there were a few good sized fish holding on the lights but they all had "lock jaw".
Thanks for the report. A 5X tippet is way lite for bass. I was suggesting the 5X for those small creek trout of NC. Even for those little trout you might want to start with a 4X tippet. You can always make it smaller if you need to.
I really didn't target bass, but it was nice to know that the rod and reel handled the fish.
my question now is there a website with illistrations on how to nymph, and casting diagrams for stream fishing?

Operation of a Concurrent Design Facility for university projects
Concurrent Design is a part of the systems engineering process, which has been widely adopted in space mission design. This paper describes the setting up a facility in a university and will try to answer a question of where the Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) concept can fit into education. Hardware setup, software approaches and knowledge management procedures are discussed. The focus of this work was to create an Integrated Design Model (IDM) for nanosats and microsats. This IDM was used to design various space related projects including a Cubesat missions, suborbital plane and a space telescope. We also discuss how to utilize CDF concept after the design phase for validation and verification. CDF was also used for a number of multidisciplinary projects.

'Why could I not have died?': Mother speaks of nightmare after baby killed by dog
A MOTHER "wanted to die" after discovering the lifeless body of her 11-month-old baby following an attack by an allegedly banned dog, an inquest heard today.
Ava-Jayne Corless was killed aged just 11-months-old after a dog attacked her
Baby Ava-Jayne Corless suffered "unsurvivable" multiple injuries caused by a nine-stone pit bull terrier-type dog as she slept alone.
Her mother Chloe King, 21, described the "nightmare" of finding her daughter's body and how she wished she could have been the one who was attacked instead.
Little Ava-Jayne was killed as she slept at Miss King's then-boyfriend Lee Wright's home, in Blackburn, Lancashire, while the couple were watching television in the living room downstairs.
The mother thought her ex-partner's dog Snoop was in the kitchen blocked in by a speaker and a golf bag stand prior to the incident on February 10.
In a statement to police, read out at a hearing at Blackburn King George's Hall today, Miss King described how she woke to the horror scene.
Mother Chloe King said it was a nightmare finding her daughter dead
I said I just wanted to die. Why could not I have died? Why did the dog not attack me?
She said: "I walked into the bedroom. The landing light was on but the bedroom light was not.
"I remember seeing there was a dark stain about halfway down the bed. I noticed the dog was in the bedroom and I thought what is it doing there.
"Ava was halfway down the bed. My initial thought was that I needed to pick her up.
"I knelt on the bed and picked her up. She still had a blanket on her. Ava was really floppy.
"I had only just woken up. At that point I had not realised blood was on her. I thought she was in a deep sleep.
"I laid Ava on the bed, kneeling over her, cuddling her, Ava made a grunting noise.
"I was giving her kisses, talking to her ... Lee was screaming 'is she all right?' I got my phone and said I need an ambulance now.
"I turned the light on, I saw Ava pale, her lips were really white. I thought she was asleep for a split second. I then noticed drops of blood on the floor.
"I ran out in the hallway. I thought I was going to pass out. I felt sick and I collapsed on the floor.
"I thought I [had] woke up in a nightmare and it could not be happening."
An inquest into Ava-Jayne Corless's death is being held in Blackburn
Miss King rang emergency services and her mother Claire, whom she told: "Ava's dead. The dog got her at Lee's."
Paramedics then attempted to revive the baby following the savage attack.
Miss King said: "I said I just wanted to die. Why could not I have died? Why did the dog not attack me?
"I said I did not want to live either if Ava did not make it."
Miss King also gave evidence at Blackburn Coroner's Court during the two-day hearing. She was accompanied by her mother who clasped her hand.
Immediately after the incident Miss King was told by police she could not travel with her daughter to hospital. She was later arrested on suspicion of child neglect.
She was taken to a police station where she was informed that her daughter had died.
Miss King and Mr Wright were held on suspicion of manslaughter before being released on bail and then having charges dropped in April.
Mr Wright is facing trial at a magistrates' court next February accused of contravention of the Dangerous Dogs Act, for allegedly possessing a banned dog.
He denies the offence.

First of all, welcome to my website.
I was a suffer of height issues growing up. I realise exactly what it's like to be short in a world where everyone else appears 6 feet tall! (We'll that's how it felt to me anyway). Eventually, after I began university as a medical student, I decided to stop pitying myself for being short and try to discover if it was genuinely possible to grow taller. What I found was amazing. I discovered that whatever your age, you can make an impact on your height and even if you don't gain another 10 inches, you can improve your height in small increments.Eventually, I started to document all my discoveries. Listing them down one by one until I had quite a large book filled will natural ways to help improve your height.
Many of my findings have been in the areas of diet, exercise and simple lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking. However, I discovered many other interesting things too.
As for me, I've gained height over the past few years and also have much more confidence to show for it. My posture is perfect (Thanks Yoga) and as anyone who's embarked on a healthy diet will tell you, the benefits quickly outweigh the difficulties following it.
If you want to ask any questions, please feel free to message me.

With LNG Export Approval, DOE Shortchanges American Public, Ignores Economic and Safety Concerns Cove Point project would hike energy costs, threaten public safety, harm Chesapeake Bay
WASHINGTON, DC – The Department of Energy announced today it had granted conditional approval to the Dominion Cove Point LNG facility to export liquefied natural gas to non-free trade agreement countries, pending an environmental review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
The $3.8 billion project would transform a sleepy natural gas import facility on the Chesapeake Bay into a massive export hub and hasten the already hectic pace of fracking for natural gas in the nearby Marcellus and Utica shale regions.
But as recently as last week, FERC regulators were raising concerns with Dominion about the safety of the project pointing to the potential for a "fireball" connected to on-site chemical storage. And while economic benefits of the project are heavily in dispute, all experts agree that it would raise domestic energy prices.
Dominion still faces major hurdles before the project can proceed. The company needs approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has yet to complete its environmental review. Dominion also needs approval from Maryland utility regulators as well as more than 60 permits and approvals. There is still pending litigation over whether Dominion has the right to build this facility or if it breaks an earlier legal agreement with Sierra Club.
The following are statements from groups that have aligned in opposition to this project:
"Dominion managed to convince the Department of Energy that exploiting the people of the Marcellus and Utica shale regions for the sake of the oil and gas industry was a good idea. But they've still got a long way to go before they can convince the rest of us that we should pay higher fuel prices, sacrifice our safety, and threaten public health. Dominion should be prepared to face stiff resistance at each remaining step in their ongoing approval process," said Jocelyn D'Ambrosio, associate attorney with the non-profit environmental law group Earthjustice.
"DOE's decision to authorize DCP's proposed LNG export plan, even though conditioned on yet-to-be-performed environmental reviews, smacks of poor decisionmaking. Instead of choosing to examine the propriety of LNG export programmatically, across the nation, DOE appears to be allowing each proposed export facility to take a substantial step forward without the type of reasoned analysis the public and affected communities deserve. Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper will continue to demand that DOE reconcile the negative impacts that LNG export entails for upstream communities like the Susquehanna before any final authorizations take place," said Guy Alsentzer of Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper.
"The U.S Department of Energy does not speak for the Marylanders who would pay the price of exporting fracked gas from Cove Point. Let's be clear: Dominion still has a steep hill to climb in receiving the necessary federal and state permits. Marylanders will be mobilizing every step of the way to challenge their plans, which threaten to virtually cover our region in new pipelines, processing plants and fracking wells," said Mike Tidwell, Director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network.
"Today's DOE approval shows once again that the oil and gas industry does not care about domestic energy independence, which is what they sold the American public. They only care about profits even when it harms local communities, fractures our most pristine forests and risks our local rivers and drinking water supplies," said Robin Broder of Potomac Riverkeeper.
"With the Department of Energy (DOE) today conditionally authorizing Dominion Resources to export gas from a liquefied natural gas terminal in Cove Point, Maryland, it is deeply disappointing to see that Secretary Moniz persists in leading the nation and the world to into a dirty energy future. It's a bad deal all around: for public health, the environment, and America's working people. The Sierra Club has been granted party status in this docket, and will hold DOE to its commitment to fully review environmental issues before deciding whether to issue final authorization. We will also monitor all other permits and approvals that the Cove Point Facility will require, and will take action as necessary. Additionally, Sierra Club continues to seek enforcement of a decades-old agreement between the Sierra Club and Dominion Cove Point LNG which clearly prohibits expansion of this facility to allow for exports. The Sierra Club intends to hold Dominion accountable for complying with the commitments it made to protect the Cove Point environment," said Deb Nardone, Director of Sierra Club's Beyond Natural Gas Campaign.

Date Published: 2003
This INSAG report is written for members of boards of directors and senior executives who are responsible for the overall safety of an installation, who make decisions for change, and who implement those decisions. It is also written for senior regulators who, on behalf of the public, ensure that boards of directors and executives meet their responsibilities for safety. The report discusses how and why change can challenge the maintenance of a high level of safety, and what can be done to control that challenge and hence reap all the benefits of change. It draws an analogy between the well-established principles for managing engineering changes safely and the need to put in place similar approaches to manage organizational changes. The report also identifies issues that regulators should review when licensees propose changes to the organization and management of their enterprise.

Your optical prescription is an important document that helps lab technicians
understand how to make and size your eyeglasses and sunglasses so that your vision is properly corrected. However, since it's used by technicians, it's full of
technical jargon and abbreviations.
If you're struggling to understand your prescription, the following is an explanation of the most common terms found on an optical prescription.
First, the most common question people ask is:
This can be confusing. But if you remember where your vision is clearest, it's easy to get it straight.
If you can see things close-up very clearly, but have trouble reading road signs or a blackboard when you're sitting at the back of the class, you are near-sighted. Your nearer vision is better.
If you have trouble reading or threading a needle, but can see the road signs or the blackboard, you are far-sighted. Your far-off vision is better.
"OD" and "OS" are the most basic terms on the prescription. OD stands for oculus dexter—that's Latin for "right eye". OS stands for oculus sinister, or the left eye. Some doctors may opt to use abbreviations in English (so "RE" and "LE").
Sometimes, you may see "OU" on your prescription. This means oculus uterque, or "both eyes". It's used to indicate an identical condition or adjustment to be made in the lenses for both eyes.
Sphere indicates the main lens power needed to correct your vision. Sphere is measured in dioptres (D). If you're near-sighted, the sphere measurement will begin with a minus-sign. If you're far-sighted, the number will have a plus sign (or no symbol at all).
Positive lenses for far-sighted patients concentrate light, while negative lenses for near-sighted patients spread the light out.
Cylinder indicates the finer-tuned lens correction needed for individuals with astigmatism. Astigmatism means that the front part of your eye is not perfectly curved—one part is flatter than the other. This can cause blurred vision. Astigmatism can occur in the cornea or the lens of your eye.
Like sphere measurement, cylinder is measured in diopters and has a minus for near-sighted prescriptions and a plus sign for far-sighted prescriptions (or no symbol at all). If you don't see any number in this area, you don't have astigmatism.
Cylinder power always follows sphere power in an eyeglass prescription.
Lenses bend or refract light to correct your vision's focus. The higher the number in the sphere or cylinder measurement, the more drastically the lenses affect your vision.
Lenses that correct astigmatism will need to define an axis—the area 90 degrees away from the part of the lens that contains the cylinder adjustment to correct the astigmatism. This can be a number from 1 to 180. The axis identifies a location, not a strength, so there will not be a plus or minus sign.
"Add" stands for added magnification. This is for wearers of bifocals or progressive lenses, and tells the lab how much magnification to add to the bottom part of the lens. Generally, additional magnification ranges from +0.75 to +3.00 D, and will be the same in both eyes.
If your eyes are mis-aligned, the optometrist will indicate a prismatic power to help account for this problem so that the corrective area of the lens matches where your pupil looks. Very few people have a prescription with a prism adjustment.
Prism direction is indicated with four abbreviations: BU = base up (towards the wearer's forehead); BD = base down (towards the chin); BI = base in (toward the wearer's nose); BO = base out (toward the wearer's ear).

Roundup: Tanaka, Garza off the Board; More on Prospects
The biggest news in the last week is that Masahiro Tanaka accepted a contract offer from the New York Yankees, despite a significant offer from the Diamondbacks that would have been, far and away, the largest contract in Arizona history. Once that deal was final, Jeff Wiser took a look at where Arizona might go from here. Shortly after the Tanaka news came out, we heard that the Brewers had signed Matt Garza — it took until yesterday for that deal to become finalized, but he's officially off the board, too.
Speaking only for myself, I wouldn't mind if Arizona passed on the other "top" free agent pitchers. Ubaldo Jimenez has some real upside (would he take a very substantial one year deal as a "pillow plus" contract?), but it really does not seem as though any of the remaining free agent options would be better than Randall Delgado. The D-backs no longer have the depth they did last season to use an above-replacement pitcher if one of the five starters goes down at the outset of the season, but the team might as well be patient in waiting for Archie Bradley.
Speaking of Bradley, he came in 9th overall on the Baseball Prospectus top 101 prospect rankings that came out today (free access). That makes him the second-ranked pitcher overall, after only Taijuan Walker. As Jeff explained last week, Bradley is the consensus top prospect in the D-backs system. On all four of the top 10 rankings addressed by Jeff, Braden Shipley and Chris Owings rounded out Arizona's top 3, but the lists were split evenly on which of the two players ranked higher. It wasn't a surprise to Jeff that BP ranked Owings higher, because, as Jeff explained, Parks is "quite high on Chris Owings and thinks that he's enough of a well-rounded player to be an above average big league regular." There's still a surprise in the top 101, however: for BP, Owings is the # 28 prospect in baseball. High praise. Be sure to check out Jeff's piece on top 10 rankings.
Last week was one of Inside the 'Zona's finest, actually, in terms of content. In addition to Jeff's three great articles I linked to above, Rod broke down Trevor Cahill's recent performance, and my piece on the Australian Baseball League and how Arizona might make inroads in Australia was one of the more interesting posts I've written for the site (I think). We have a lot of fun writing this stuff.
On to the links:
- Do not pass Go, do not collect $200: read Jerry Crasnick's wonderful piece on the end stages of the Tanaka saga, and ramifications of the signing. Some good stuff from Kevin Towers in there.
- At the main SweetSpot blog, David Schoenfield included an Arizona player among his ten breakout players to watch for 2014: Didi Gregorius. I don't disagree with Schoenfield at all, but will Gregorius play enough for us to notice improvement? Also, given the range of opinions on Owings and the lack of consensus on Gregorius… can you think of another situation like this? I can't recall any time when a team had two shortstops, almost the same age, with the thinking all over the map in terms of whether either of them could become above-average major leaguers. Oh, and if you missed it in the Australia post: Gregorius is one of the relatively few major leaguers to have spent some time in the re-started ABL.
- Speaking of ABL players, Thomas Lynch at Venom Strikes checked in on Keon Broxton, who has been laboring there this offseason. Lynch also addressed Paul Goldschmidt's first round win in the "Face of MLB" contest. Boy, was that an odd day for my Twitter feed.
- At Snake Pit, Jim McLennan addresses the D-backs' batting order. I'm definitely in agreement that, if there are standard orders, there be one for LHP and one for RHP. Parra could hit at or near the top of the order against RHP, but I agree he doesn't belong there against LHP. We'll see how he's running in the spring, but for what it's worth, I'd seriously consider hitting Cody Ross much higher in the order — he's one of the team's better hitters (against LHP and RHP), and batting him higher in the order might facilitate some double switch/defensive replacement substitutions. And, again, a lot depends on Miguel Montero.
- Also by McLennan: the first in a series of posts on Arizona's non-roster invitees. If you checked out Jeff's prospects piece from last week, a handful of these names will look familiar. Willy Paredes is definitely one player I'll be trying to check out.
- Joe Jacquez of Venom Strikes seems to have made the connection first — in signing Shelley Duncan to a minor league deal, Arizona has reunited him with Dave Duncan.
- Jeff Summers has a string of posts up at his redesigned site, including a preview of FanFest and a great reaction piece on what's recently been done to Chase Field.
- And here's your reminder: spring training games start in less than a month. Here's the full schedule.
