Lately I've been more and more excited about mobile development. More specifically, mobile web app development.
Mobile web app support in iOS improved significantly in iOS 5 with the introduction of position: fixed
and overflow-scrolling: touch
support in Webkit. It's now possible to build an app using web technologies that is near indistinguishable from a native app. Android support is also improving all the time, and with the recent release of Chrome for Andriod, I think we'll continue to see progress accelerate.
I've been working with a mobile development library called jQuery Mobile to build my first app. It's a cross platform library that allows you to build a single HTML5 app that will work across all major mobile platforms. The real beauty is that if you're a developer with jQuery skills then you'll find it fairly straightforward to get started. The library is still only on version 1.0 (1.1 is due out very soon) but it's been pleasure to work with so far.

In this video we're going to go ahead and continue on with where we left off. You can see here that I have the Uniform Color Node and by the way, I just wanted to point out to you that we can click and drag these nodes anywhere we want to and you'll see that they're snapping to that grid that's in the background. And maybe hard to make out that grid in the video but you'll see it in your version of Substance Designer and it just snaps to those grid points which can be very useful sometimes. Now basically what I want to do is, I want to bring in another resource that we're going to be using as an input. What I want to do is, I want to come over here to our Untitled Package, I want to Context Click on this and I want to say, Import Resources. I want to come up to our Work Files and in the 02 Folder, you're going to find that we have a number of resources that we're going to be working with in this chapter. The one I want to look at right now is Jason underscore signature.SVG. I'm going to go ahead and open this, now if you're not familiar with what SVG is, it's stands for Scaleable Vector Graphics and it's the same type of thing that you'd be working with in a program like Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. Now the basic concept of Vector Graphics is that instead of using pixels, it uses vector data and these points and Bezier curves are the things that ultimately define what the image is made of. Now this is much more efficient in terms of file size than pixels are, so we want to use SVG within Substance Designer whenever possible. Now the way that we can get SVG is we can output SVG files from programs like Adobe Illustrator but we can also use freeware programs like InkScape. Now InkScape is a really nice program that is completely Open Source and free, you can download it off the web and use it and it has a lot of the same types of functionalities as the previously mentioned Vector Graphics Applications but it outputs SVG natively. And one of the strengths of working with these SVG files is that we can then bring them into Substance Designer and they can be used as images or as masks. So I'm going to go ahead and just grab this resource that we brought in here and drag it right onto my graph like so and you can see that creates an SVG Node and within that SVG Node we now have that Vector Graphics image that we've created. So this was created within InkScape and it's just brought in as such, this is my signature that I use for my artwork. This SVG Node, you'll notice that it has a background input and you can see that it accepts either color or gray scale and then it has a color output. We can do a lot with these SVGs and I'm going to be spending a whole chapter on the different ways that you can work with SVGs so it's very, very powerful. But one of the nice things about working with this, is that we can set the background so in this particular instance, I'm just going to go ahead and set our Uniform Color for our background. And you can see boom, our Uniform Color is now the background for our SVG and then we can then continue to output that out. Now if we wanted to, at the same time, we could bring this SVG in a completely different way. So I'm just going to go ahead and click on this, Context Click like so and then say Delete Selection and if I go ahead and use the Spacebar instead, you'll see that we do have an SVG Node Option here on our Filters. You can see that we get From New Resource or From File, now the idea with From New Resource is that we can create our own SVG within Substance Designer and it will create a new resource. So if I click that, it'll say okay, what do we want to name the new resource? And we'll just leave the name right now for New Resource, the type is Vectorial, and it's the only type that we have available to us right now. The width is 512 by 512 which is okay for what we're about to do. We say OK and then in here we could use the various different tools which again, I'll go over in great depth when we're dealing with this in our SVG chapter. But the point basically being here, is that if you come down, you'll see that, that is a New Resource that's created within our Resources Folder and if we wanted to, we could just drop this right into our Resources Folder like so. And now both of these are within our Resources Folder and again if we wanted to create an SVG Node from this file here, we could just come over here and come over here to SVG from File. Now what that'll do is it'll go back up to our Work Files in our 02 Folder and grab that Jason Signature.SVG. Now the reason why I don't like to use this method right off the bat is because when we come in, we get some options here. We can link it, which basically means that it won't be editable or we can embed it and generally speaking you want to embed if you want to be able to edit that SVG. And then we have some options here, we have Resize, Fit Large Side, Fit Small Side and Original Size. Now the reason why you would need these is if you didn't custom make your SVG to work with in Substance Designer. Meaning that it's not square, meaning that it's not a power of 2 image size. So we can choose to Resize it, we can choose to Fit the Large Side, Fit the Small Side or have it come in at Original Size. So I'll just go ahead and say I'll have this come in at Original Size but what you'll see is that it doesn't just come in as the one node it comes in as two nodes. It comes in as the SVG Node but then it also has a Transform 2D and we're not really ready to look at these Transform 2Ds yet, so that's the reason why I didn't show you this right off the bat. I much prefer the other workflow here and I'll just go ahead and Context Click these and say Delete Selection which is going to delete both those. I prefer just to bring in that resource and then just drop it like so because this way we have a little bit more control, we don't have extra nodes popping up for no reason. Now again, like I say, we can come in here and we can say okay, let's go ahead and link in that Uniform Color as our background color for our SVG and then even if we wanted to, we could bring this in and use that as our background. And then you can see here, that we can build up fairly complex images using our SVG, very quickly and very easily. So SVG, very powerful and like I said, we'll have a whole chapter devoted to working with SVG in the future.

A Re-Demon Team…
Can DePaul return to relevancy?
DePaul basketball was once of the pride of the city. A birthplace for legends. But things have changed like a Sam Cooke classic.
The Blue Demons rose to national prominence under the guidance of the legendary Ray Meyer, who headed the program for 40 years. Under his direction, the Demons found themselves in 21 postseason tournaments, NCAA or NIT. While the DePaul legacy is by no means that of a Kentucky, Kansas or UCLA, they consistently fielded successful, competitive teams, even advancing to a couple Final Fours. Not only was Meyer a legend in his own right, finishing his coaching tenure at DePaul with a record of 724-354, but he produced them as well, as George Mikan, the game's first great "Big Man," and Mark Aguirre, one of Chicago's most prolific scorers, both donned Demon uniforms at one time.
Meyer left in 1984, leaving the program in the hands of his son Joey. Pat Kennedy and Dave Leitao would both have coaching stints at DePaul from '97-04, having moderate success at best, though they did produce talented players such as Quentin Richardson, Steven Hunter and Bobby Simmons, who would all go on to play in the League.
Then in '05, Jerry Wainwright took over, and from there, things have been on a fairly steady decline. Don't get it twisted, though, this article not about bashing Wainwright in any way.
Some of the struggles can be attributed to the Demons move from Conference USA to the Big East. That's respectable. But at the end of the day, men lie, women lie, numbers don't. And save the '05-06 season when Wilson Chandler and Sammy Mejia were leading the way, every year has been a losing one.
The Demons went 11-19 in '07-08, going 6-12 in conference. Certainly nothing to boast about, but the Demons had seen worse. Until last year.
And that's when things hit rock bottom. 9-24. 0-18 in conference. 18 straight Ls. Think about that. Never being lucky enough to catch a team on an off-night. Never being lucky enough to have anybody have a a spontaneous career night. Or win on a fluke, or a bad call, or anything. Hard knock life. (They did win their first game in the Big East tournament, that's not exactly consolation if you ask me.)
That's the kind of misfortune that can kill a team's morale, leaving it damaged for years to come. Especially a group of young men who aren't professionals, but mere student-athletes.
Ironically, the good thing about being so bad, is that there's no where to go but up, and that's how the Demons are looking to approach the coming season.
"As crazy as it sounds, it just made us tougher, you know. Going through a tough time like this, it's just gotta make you stronger, you know. It can't make you any weaker," said junior forward Mac Koshwal.
"It was times when the stands wasn't too packed, and we were in an empty gym. Or we would have a whole crowd against us, and we were the underdog, but we learned a lot last year, and I think it made us tougher a team," added Will Walker, the team's lone senior.
Though a complete 180 is probably out of the question, now is the time for the Demons to look to return to relevancy, as the Big East conference on the whole is down this year. UConn, Marquette, Louisville, and Pitt, four of last year's top 5 teams in the conference will still be solid, but nowhere near the dominant forces they were last year.
On the contrary, DePaul will be returning most of their parts from last season plus a year of experience, except for Dar Tucker. Tucker was a hell of a player and the Demons leading scorer last year, but to be honest, this could very well be a case of addition by subtraction, especially with the Demons additions of JuCo transfer Mike Stovall, and Ohio State transfer Eric Wallace, who will be eligible to play this year after sitting out last season. Both players are athletic and versatile, standing 6-5 and 6-6 respectively, supplying the Demons with options in addition to Walker and Koshwal, and filling the vacancy left by Tucker.
"I just look to bring another option. [We've got] Will Walker, a great shooter in the Big East as well as the country. Mac Koshwal, a well-respected big man in the Big East and the country," said Wallace. "I feel like I'll be a good option playing the 4 or 3 spot, being able to play in and out. Really versatile, athletic, and be a good third, second, first, whatever option."
That athleticism was on full display during DePaul's Blue Madness, as Wallace took off for a dunk a step inside the free throw line for the highlight of the night.
DePaul's struggles have left a void in Chicago, leaving the nation's third largest city with no college team to root for. But this year's team has its sights set on fixing that.
"We gotta prove ourselves night in, night out. I think we lost to a lot of teams we should have beat last year, and we lost a lot of games we had in our hands. We coming out ready to whoop everybody. We just wanna be dogs on the floor," Walker said.
"Right now the chemistry is so perfect, its great. Now, we just learning to take it a day at a time, you know, never lose no days by not going hard," Koshwal added.
Not only has the teams mentality changed, but some additions were made to the coaching staff, as well, namely Tracy Webster, formerly an Illinois assistant, and Billy Garrett, who was previously at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. They're even trying to step heir shoe game up, switching over from adidas to Nike.
"My feet feel so much better, you know," said Koshwal, laughing. "It's a blessing to get free anything, so I'm not complaining, but Nike definitely. I love it. No disrespect to adidas, but it is what it is."
So with all that in place, new mentality, new coaches, new players, new shoes, the Demons are set to embark on their journey to become a Redeem Team in their own right. A Re-Demon team if you will.
Walker summed it up: "Everybody that comes in front of us, they gon' remember they played us every night."

Highly trained specialists who help you get healthy and stay healthy
At Hurley Medical Center, our board-certified podiatrists provide effective medical care for problems of the foot and ankle, including conditions affecting the skin and nails, as well as structural conditions involving bones, tendons and muscles. Our Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPMs) are highly trained in a broad range of treatments, including surgery, orthopedics and non-surgical procedures.
Our primary goals are to help our patients identify, prevent and treat problems early, get well quickly, and stay healthy over the long term. We follow a patient- and family-centered care model that takes each person's unique medical conditions, family circumstances and other environmental issues into account, and provide treatment options that offer the best likelihood of a successful outcome. We understand that for many patients, foot and ankle problems and other issues can seriously affect mobility; in addition to treating patients in our offices and at Hurley Medical Center, we can schedule house calls for individuals who are homebound.
We treat the following conditions:
Seniors and individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing problems with their extremities, including the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists have extensive experience working with elderly and diabetic patients. We also utilize the latest technology to treat the following conditions, among others:
- Athletic, sports-related and overuse injuries
- Bone spurs
- Bunions
- Cysts, ganglions and soft-tissue masses
- Fungal conditions of the foot, toe and nail
- Hammertoe and other deformities of the toe
- Neuromas and other nerve-related conditions
- Plantar fasciitis
Individual treatment plans designed around you
The treatment plan recommended for each patient will vary depending upon his or her overall health, the severity of the condition, and the patient's ability to follow through with recommended post-procedure care. Treatment options include non-surgical interventions such as orthotics, braces and other biomechanical assistive devices, corrective surgery (both inpatient and outpatient), laser treatment, medications, or a combination of these methods. We emphasize ongoing and post-operative care, including, if necessary, physical therapy in our offices or through Hurley's Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Services.
A team approach that produces amazing results
Many disorders of the foot and ankle are the result of, or arise together with, other medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, neurological problems and other illnesses. We work closely with experienced physicians throughout Hurley Medical Center's departments to ensure that podiatric problems are treated in coordination with other medical care. Since foot problems are often an early sign of other issues, we also regularly refer patients to appropriate medical providers.Together, we offer a team approach to the treatment and resolution of complex health issues.

What does your stupid comment have anything to do with the current situation. He is the President and is showing no leadership in solving the problem.

We'll I have accepted it and was hoping for some leadership from him, but disappointed once again.
Well because like it or not they are the ones that are to blame....paint it however you want but the truth is the truth. Everyone should take some blame but they are the most to blame. The president cant just make decisions. That would be a dictatorship as some have discribed him. Thats why we have the levels of government we have. THe republicans have the votes to block everything. ANd they have at all costs. To bad they havent figured out that it is hurting thier party. Thats why Romney lost and probably why a few will lose in the future. The Democrats are in the Whitehouse until the republicans figure it out.

Patriots Say "Goodbye" to Moss and "Hello" to Vincent Jackson?
Jim Rogash/Getty Images
Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have said goodbye to Randy Moss and shipped him off to the Vikings for a third round draft choice in 2011. The question is, Why? Why would he trade his only deep threat and a player that commands double teams from opposing defenses? Why would he place his star QB in a position to make difficult plays without Moss in the lineup? Frankly, what is up Bill's sleeve?
Mike Lombardi, on the NFL Network, said New England has a stockpile of #1's, #2's, and #3 draft picks in 2011. So, logic would be that a Vincent Jackson trade could be in play between the Chargers and New England. Everyone knows that San Diego's GM Smith, did not want to let Jackson go without at least a #1 draft pick to be a part of the trade. If New England is willing to give up multiple high draft choices for Jackson, it would be a logically plan to allow Moss to be traded to the Vikings.
Trade value always means a lot to Bill Belichick, let's see if the Pats are willing to stay pat or pull the trigger and get Jackson in New England's receiving corps. Look at what Bill said on "The Big Show" yesterday after winning against the Dolphins on Monday night:
Randy Moss no catches:
I think any time you throw the ball unless it is a screen pass the quarterback does the same thing he always does; he reads the coverage and based on the coverage and the route that we have called, he goes to where the lightest part of the coverage is, the place that we have the most space to throw or if it's man-to-man coverage where the best match-up is. That's the way it always is and that's the way it will be. I think that's the way it turns out sometimes, sometimes certain players, in some games, get more opportunities than others. But in the end it is the quarterback's job to read the coverage and throw the ball to the right place.
Must Read: 10 Reasons the Trade Will Ruin the Vikings' Playoff Hopes
Randy's OK with that? Just being targeted once?
Well ya when there's people on him that means there's less people somewhere else.
If he really believe this about Moss, then why trade him unless he is developing a scheme to get someone else on the field. Did Moss "wear out his welcome" by complaining about his "no" contract talks with the Pats, maybe? Better yet, Bill may be ready to pull his "river card" and get a Vincent Jackson flush to win the AFC.
Who gets the better deal? Brett Favre or Tom Brady? Belichick or Childress? Moss or Vincent? AFC or NFC?

Well, that didn¹t last long.
About a week after he was booted from the closer role, Joakim Soria has the job back, Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said.
The decision came after Soria threw two scoreless innings Monday in a Royals win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Aaron Crow, who did not have a save opportunity while serving as temporary closer, will move back into his setup role, Yost said.
"That sets our bullpen up nice," Yost told reporters.
Soria was demoted after blowing four of five save chances.

Predicting The Major NBA Awards — Part 1
Posted By Moke Hamilton On September 27, 2013 @ 9:00 pm In Main Page,NBA | No Comments
The 2010-11 NBA season shall remain the primary exhibit of why the game needs to be played.
After LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami, the HEAT were expected to dominate. Absolutely nobody expected Derrick Rose to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 62-20 record and become the youngest MVP in league history.
That year, nobody had Dirk Nowitzki and his Dallas Mavericks besting the star-studded HEAT in the NBA Finals.
Both happened.
Last season's meteoric ascent by the Indiana Pacers' Paul George and the Memphis Grizzlies' Marc Gasol earning the honor of being named the Defensive Player of the Year are only the most recent examples of not counting eggs, or awards, before they hatch.
So with NBA training camps rapidly approaching, in the first of this two part installment, HOOPSWORLD takes a very early look at some of the candidates that may emerge for this season's end of year awards.
Rookie of the Year
Last season's Rookie of the Year taught us to expect the unexpected. Damian Lillard won the award, despite many believing that Anthony Davis would easily emerge as the top rookie. Lillard—the sixth pick in the 2012 NBA Draft—also beat out Bradley Beal and Andre Drummond. That Lillard was able to effectively manage the Portland Trail Blazers' offense as a rookie was especially impressive. He received all 121 first-place votes and deservedly so.
This season, a sweep of all of the votes may not be as likely, but there are three rookies who are likely to split the gross majority of them.
3. Kelly Olynyk (C, Boston Celtics): With the Celtics in all-out rebuild mode, Olynyk perhaps represents one of the first building blocks for the future. With an overall dearth of offensive firepower after Jeff Green and a hole in the middle that only gets bigger with the absence of Kevin Garnett, Olynyk should have plenty of opportunities to play and learn. Better yet for him, there are no immediate expectations for the Celtics to rise above the fray in the Atlantic Division. That is a formula for success for most rookies.
2. Victor Oladipo (SG, Orlando Magic): Year two after Dwight Howard's departure is set to begin in Orlando after impressive output by both Maurice Harkless and Nikola Vucevic last season. Oladipo may not be a complete offensive weapon, but he is a tenacious defender and a hard worker. His explosive athleticism and slashing ability will come in handy for head coach Jacque Vaughn. Oladipo should have little difficulty being productive in the NBA, and with a rebuilding team that wants to see what it has in its young guard, he will have opportunity to show his stuff. For a rookie, that is half the battle.
1. Trey Burke (PG, Utah Jazz): Like Lillard last year, Burke is walking into a situation that is good for a rookie point guard. With the departure of Mo Williams, the way has been cleared for him to assume ownership of the Jazz's offense. He will join a core that includes Enes Kanter, Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward. Surprises happen fairly often in the NBA, but for now, it certainly seems as though the 2013-14 Rookie of the Year Award is Burke's to lose. His minuscule stature is a bit disconcerting, but Burke is roughly the same size as Kyrie Irving, and he does not seem to be having much of a problem excelling in the NBA. His poor performance during Summer League play will be a distant memory by Thanksgiving.
Defensive Player of the Year
Of all the awards, the Defensive Player of the Year may be the most difficult to predict. Although the league's statistical revolution has heavily benefited the ability to measure a player's offensive efficiency, there is still a major gap at it relates to measuring defensive effectiveness. Forced misses and deflections are still not official statistics, for example.
So, as a result, there is no quantifiable metric upon which one can defend a vote. It often boils down to the "eyeball test." Dubbing a particular player a defensive juggernaut is often a subjective exercise.
But objectively, there are a few players whose defensive abilities stand out.
3. Kawhi Leonard (SF, San Antonio Spurs): In last year's NBA Finals, Leonard impressed everyone with his poise and calm demeanor. His offensive contributions during the Finals, though, actually overshadowed the brilliant job he did guarding LeBron James during the series. Like one of his predecessors, Bruce Bowen, Leonard is supremely disciplined on the defensive end. Athletically, he is superior to a great many small forward in the league and has abnormally large hands and long arms. In short, he has everything necessary to be a top defender. After opening everyone's eyes last season, the public will be watching.
2. Dwight Howard (C, Houston Rockets): It is easy to forget how dominant of a defensive force Howard can be when he is fully healthy. Remember, he won three straight Defensive Player of the Year awards from 2009 to 2011. This season, he will probably have a renewed focus after spending an utterly forgettable year as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. There certainly is a reason why quite a few teams put themselves in position to bid on Howard's services this past season. Though his offensive fluidity and repertoire have increased significantly since entering the league, he is still miles ahead as a defender. Howard wants to prove his critics wrong, so it should not shock anyone to see him apply himself anew this season.
1. Tony Allen (SG, Memphis Grizzlies): If not for Allen's contributions on the defensive end, the Boston Celtic may not have won the 2008 NBA Championship. Despite being widely regarded as perhaps the top defender in the league, Allen has never won the award. Surprisingly, his teammate Marc Gasol won that honor last year. The odds of teammates winning the Defensive Player of the Year award in two consecutive years seems remote, but if there ever was a time it would happen, it is probably now. Allen is a major catalyst for the Grizzlies on the defensive end, and we have seen one defensive culture-changer in Tyson Chandler win the award already. Allen is due.
Sixth Man of the Year
Since the NBA began anointing a Sixth Man of the Year following the 1982-83 season, only two men have won the award in consecutive years: Kevin McHale (1983-85) and Detlef Schrempf (1990-92). Even without considering his recent knee surgery, that makes the odds of a repeat for the New York Knicks' J.R. Smith quite slim. Smith enjoyed the best season of his career last year and was integral in the Knicks capturing their first Atlantic Division title since 1994. While he is perfectly capable of joining McHale and Schrempf as back-to-back award winners, the odds do not favor it.
3. Jamal Crawford (SG, Los Angeles Clippers): After winning the Sixth Man of the Year award back in 2010 as a member of the Atlanta Hawks, Crawford came quite close to winning the award for a second time last season, but was ultimately bested by J.R. Smith. One thing that has become quite clear with Crawford, though, is that he is a deadly scorer who can put the ball in the basket just as effectively off the bench as he can as a starter. Ultimately, head coach Doc Rivers must decide whether to install J.J. Redick or Crawford as the starter, but if Crawford is brought off the bench, he will continue to be one of the top reserve scorers in the league and will likely earn consideration for that honor once again.
2. Harrison Barnes (SF, Golden State Warriors): The acquisition of Iguodala by the Warriors raises questions as to Barnes' immediate future with the organization. With his size, he can play either forward position and if he can be productive playing off of the bench, Barnes may emerge as one of the favorites for the Sixth Man of the Year award. After an impressive run in last season's playoffs, Barnes seemed poised to make a leap in his second season, but after the franchise's surprising acquisition of Iguodala, Barnes is likely to head to the bench. If so, he will certainly be one of the more adequate sixth men in the entire league.
1. Jarrett Jack (PG, Cleveland Cavaliers): As a member of the Golden State Warriors last season, Jack excelled playing as a reserve combo guard. He came in third place last season in Sixth Man of the Year voting, finishing behind J.R. Smith and Jamal Crawford, respectively. If the Cavaliers are to be as successful this season as many expect, Jack will be instrumental. He should quickly emerge as one of the most important rotation players at Mike Brown's disposal and should mesh quite well with Kyrie Irving. Although he will be a reserve, he will play a starter's minutes and that ultimately helps his quest to be named the league's top reserve.
Most Improved Player
Paul George of the Indiana Pacers became a household name during last season and when it was all said and done, the 23-year-old was named the NBA's Most Improved Player for 2012-13. For George, the route to the award was aided by the extended absence of Danny Granger and that underscores what the eventual winner of this award needs: opportunity.
With a number of teams blowing things up this past offseason, there will be quite a few young, talented players across the league being given additional responsibility on their respective teams.
3. Derrick Favors (PF, Utah Jazz): Favors is finally in the driver's seat in Utah. The Jazz have an impressive core of youngsters and Favors will likely be the primary offensive weapon for the team. With Al Jefferson in Charlotte and Paul Millsap in Atlanta, Favors will form the frontline of the future in Utah with Enes Kanter. If he can fulfill the potential that current Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King saw in him when he selected Favors with the third overall pick of the 2010 NBA Draft, he may rise up this season.
2. Nikola Vucevic (C, Orlando Magic): At this point, it is interesting to note the ridicule that Magic general manager Rob Hennigan came under for the package he received in return for Dwight Howard. After just one season, Vucevic has already been especially impressive. He played very well last season, but could not best the deserving Paul George of the Indiana Pacers for the Most Improved Player award. Whether or not he can actually raise his game another level remains to be seen, but after what he showed last season, it certainly would not be surprising. As one of the unquestioned building blocks of the Magic moving forward, Vucevic's stock should continue to rise.
1. Eric Bledsoe (PG, Phoenix Suns): After spending the first three years of his career playing somewhat sparingly, Bledsoe became one of the most coveted prospects across the league. Despite his somewhat pedestrian career averages of 6.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and three assists, the Los Angeles Clippers feared that Bledsoe would attract too rich of an offer as a restricted free agent. After re-signing Chris Paul and investing heavily in Doc Rivers, the Clippers were proactive with regard to Bledsoe. Now, with a new lease on life, he will head to Phoenix and, as a member of the Suns, be counted on to be a solid building block for the future.
And of course, the future is what NBA fans are looking forward. With preseason hoops just over two weeks away, some of the persisting questions that the NBA universe has will begin their season-long process of becoming answered.
Part two of this two-part awards preview will be published on Sunday. Check back for Coach of the Year, Executive of the Year, Scoring Leader and Most Valuable Player.

I know that E-sata is 3.0 gb/s is nice, but the hard drives wont be able to take advantage of it in most cases, because USB 2.0 is 480 MB/s, find me a hard drive that can take advantage of that.
@3870x2 - Remember, Gb/s and Mb/s refer to bits, not bytes. In reality, USB 2.0 typically gets between 30-34 megabytes per second reads. Most hard drives today will do 50-85 megabytes per second reads. If you look at the performance page from the Thermaltake BlacX review, the 5400 RPM Seagate Momentus HDD Fell below 30 megabytes per second about 2/3 of the way through the drive. Most other drives will be limited by the USB through-put. @ mcloughj - They do have a dual bay eSATA drive coming out soon: http://www.rosewill.com/product/product.aspx?productId=1121 Different format, but the drives are still removeable.
This looks very nice, are they limited to 500GB for each drive? or can you put what you want in? I hope they do a version of this one with eSATA, that's what'll make me buy one. I'll be building a server soon, and it'd be nice to have something external on eSATA that I can take out when I go over to friend's places and such.
One of the comments on Newegg said they called Rosewill and confirmed that individual drives of up to 1 TB in size can be used. Any size up to 1TB will work, and both drives do not need to be the same size, make or model.
Hilarious: I work as a computer technician for the US Special Forces, and I'm Typing this from IRAQ. I co-maintain a network with 400+/- computers and 20 switches. Thank you for the obvious. I don't know what USB you've been using but the 2.0 on my dell workstation has a constant read of 60-70 MB/s.
Agreed. I have never seen anything higher than 34 MB/s myself, so I would also be interested in what hardware you're using to get that result.
I was looking at our FIREWIRE drives, which even then dont reach 60-70 MB/s unless they are directly attached to our server. I was wrong about that, but even my hard drive wont reach that high (second image), it would be higher, albeit not by much, if it were a reg 3.5 inch.
No, but petty ADD kids like yourself cause other people their lives out here all the time. I'm out here fighting for your right to insult me like that, which was completely unnecessary. Last night, we had a casualty out in the field, a guy i knew from a battallion. He fought for those words, and this is what you said with them.

After a century in which their operating model changed little, regulated utilities now face empowered customers, the evolving smart grid, and deregulation. An emerging customer-focused model dictates that customers view their utilities as service providers rather than solely distributors of electricity, gas, or water. Utility companies will want to consider several factors when reshaping themselves around the customer.

We're just a few weeks removed from the release of Killer Mike's huge R.A.P. Music album, and now we've finally got a video in the form of "Big Beast." Despite being the first leak from the acclaimed LP, the track is freshened up with visuals courtesy of director Thomas C. Bingham.
The "Beast" video clocks in at just under nine and a half minutes, and the action is nearly nonstop. In between car chases, facepainted topless strippers eat brains and intestines while T.I. spits his verse. The greatest part, though, is when Mike shows us that you don't need to play guitar to rock the axe. Check it out below. [RR]

Kelley Stoltz / Double Exposure - 4067492
While many rocking bands in San Francisco and beyond claim to be 'garage' bands' – Kelley Stoltz has actually recorded his new LP "Double Exposure" in the garage behind his house. And while the car oil stained floors are covered by oriental rugs and there are no snow shovels laying around – there is a collection of vintage synths, 17 guitars, tape echos, mellotrons, a 50's jukebox, a Teardrop Explodes poster, a tape machine used by The Residents, an amp used by Stooge James Williamson, and a myriad other noise making devices which rear their heads on his new record. All told the place is called Electric Duck Studio and it's become a muse capturing zone for Stoltz, as well as Sonny & the Sunsets, The Mantles, Tim Cohen, Life Stinks, The Sandwitches and many other tuneweavers big and small.
"Double Exposure" is Kelley's first album in a while – near on 3 years since his last one, "To Dreamers" came out on Sub Pop. What the heck has he been doing since, you ask? Well renovating the garage for one, and using said garage studio to engineer, produce or encourage the above named bands… You see time flies when you're having fun. Add in some love, a little heartbreak, turning 40, deciding to jog everyday, staring at the wall, singing hundreds of songs into the phone, sleeping, recording an album of cover songs with his family, making a couple 45 singles, catching white wine buzzes, getting dropped by Sub Pop, playing keyboards on tour with Rodriguez, and signing on with old supporters at Third Man Records… really it's as good old Sandy Denny sang, who knows where the time goes.
Anyway, if you stir up all that stuff and a few other things we won't mention here, you have the makings of a fantastic and heartfelt record, "Double Exposure" has 10 new jams that Thee Oh Sees main man, John Dwyer, describes thusly, "A piece of gold in your ear, A lovely thought in your mind, A breeze in the sun, This record is perfect…"
Nicely put there Johnny! And you too will thrill to the sound of delay pedals twisting the keys on "Inside My Head", crane your neck to the backwards guitars of "Are You My Love", ramble and gamble to the clanging cymbals on the title track, question the sanity of a song called "Kim Chee Taco Man", and finally, fall down and weep at the sweet fluted sentiments of "It's Summertime Again".
For all of you Aussie rules fans, the album was mixed and mastered by Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring/Total Control and features Stoltz playing most of the instruments himself and overdubbing parts through his trusty 8 track tape machine.
Released: October 7, 2013
Kelley Stoltz / To Dreamers - SP890
Kelley Stoltz, now a veritable godfather to the burgeoning San Francisco under/over-ground (folks like Thee Oh Sees, Sonny & the Sunsets, The Fresh & Onlys), has blazed a path since the late '90s as a home-recording guru and multi-instrumentalist. And, while Stoltz's nigh-religious reverence for all things Beatles, Beach Boys and Kinks has been at the fore on recent albums Below the Branches, Sub Pop) and Circular Sounds, Sub Pop), his new album, To Dreamers, blends a bit more post-punk abandon into its layered everyman pop. This new album maintains the kaleidoscopic core of sounds heard on Kelley's previous records, while making inroads into new sonic terrains.
No slouch on the live front, he was asked to open the Raconteurs first US tour in 2006, toured the USA and Europe with the Dirtbombs in 2008, and through a twist of volcano ash-cloud karma, was the support act to childhood heroes Echo and the Bunnymen, in 2010.
It's not unreasonable to suggest that the entire reason behind music itself is to dream. From the young kid strumming a tennis racket along with the Ramones, to the box seats at the opera, the goal is the same. What music does and should do is allow us to lose ourselves and be transported, to find the mystical land where milk and honey meets Xanadu. See where you go with this new Kelley Stoltz record—an album of tunes oddly familiar and yet surprising, like a dream itself.
Released: October 12, 2010

Released: May 25, 2010
Kelley Stoltz / Circular Sounds - SP748
Circular Sounds is the fourth LP from San Francisco's home recording auteur Kelley Stoltz. Its 14 songs are a stereophonic advance on the lo-fidelity psych-fuzz of Antique Glow (Beautiful Happiness, 2004) and the mid-fi piano-rock of Below the Branches (Sub Pop, 2006): two modest masterpieces which, by a curious coincidence, both made #24 in MOJO magazine's "Best Albums" list for their respective years. Kelley has also been praised by such esteemed publications as Uncut, Rolling Stone, Q, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Time Out London, The Independent, and Ptolemaic Terrascope. In Australia he is a bona fide cult sensation, having scored a radio hit with "Underwater's Where the Action Is" (off Antique Glow), while "Birdies Singing" (off Below the Branches) established him in Sweden after it was used to soundtrack a TV commercial for Volvo.
Circular Sounds is very much a pop record, in the classic '60s mold. The horn-and-harmony-soaked romance suggesting Love covering "Good Day Sunshine" of "Everything Begins," and the glorious, garage-psych dilation of "Your Reverie" are amongst the album's 14 highlights. And these tracks boast Kelley's fullest production to date: radio-ready yet retaining the organic warmth that gave his earlier work its character. He is no longer a marginal, 'lo-fi' artist: "I work in a second-hand record store and that's made me more of a hi-fi advocate. It's hard for me to listen to stuff that was recorded on a cassette player nowadays. By the last record I was mid-fi. I think I'm mid-hi now!"

Released: February 5, 2008
Kelley Stoltz / Below the Branches - SP674
San Francisco home-recording multi- instrumentalist Kelley Stoltz spent the better part of the past three years promoting and distributing his last album himself. "I finished Antique Glow in 2001, but found myself without a label when it was ready for release. So, being a vinyl nut, I decided to press up a couple hundred and, to save some money, painted all the covers myself. I sold them at shows and stores all around San Francisco. After that the record took on a life of its own." And, this life of its own involved an eventual domestic CD release on San Francisco's Jackpine Social Club, as well as considerable UK press attention. Antique Glow garnered a 4-star review and a "Mojo Rising" feature in MOJO magazine, as well as critical praise in Ptolemaic Terrascope, Uncut, Record Collector, and on BBC6 radio. At year's end Antique Glow was ranked #24 in MOJO's "40 Best Albums of 2004," described as, "a time capsule only recently discovered…a jamboree grab-bag of delights filled with everything from psychedelic folk and cosmic troubadour pop to garage-rock and lysergic r&b…one of the year's major finds." Kelley's new album, Below the Branches, picks up where Antique Glow left off, combining psych rock, folk, blues and pop in its 13 tracks, exploring new, piano-driven directions as well. It's an album of improvisational pop, alchemically blending influences with results that are both timeless and new. Kelley and his band (Sean Coleman, Kevin Ink, Shayde Sartin, and John Hofer) will tour extensively with the release of Below the Branches.
Released: 2006-01-24 (CD), 2006-02-07 (LP), 2006-02-07 (MP3s)
Kelley Stoltz / Antique Glow - JSC004
Originally a self–released, vinyl-only album with hand-painted sleeves, this, Kelley's second album, was released on the Jackpine Social Club label. Antique Glow is a stunner, blending folkish panache with an alt.country aesthetic that at times sounds like Will Oldham, at others like early Pavement, yet able to dip into instrumental droplets of tinkling piano and untreated found sounds. Varied and hugely engaging, the album traipses from a motoric Velvets chug, some sublime Nick Drake-esque folk, a spaced-out psychedelic wash and a British post-everything slant… all melded together by an 8-track mind and Spector-esque vision. It's simply a killer.
Released: December 18, 2006
Kelley Stoltz / Crockodials - HAPP004CD
From Kelley: My version of an all-time personal favorite, Crocodiles by Echo & The Bunnymen. I recorded it the last week of 2001 – playing all of the instruments myself, and mostly from memory… I had air-drummed-air-guitar-lip-synched-long-enough…
Recorded to 8-track the last week of 2001.
Based upon Echo and the Bunnymen Crocodiles released July 1980. All instruments by Kelley Stoltz.
Released in 2005 by Beautiful Happiness Records.
