Dynamic Skincare Duo!
I'm so excited about a new pair of products I stumbled onto for polishing, luminating and revitalizing my skin. I feel like I have Renee Zellweger cheeks! The dynamic duo are by Peter Thomas Roth and are sold separately but I feel using the two of them in tandem is paramount for optimum results.
First use PTR Radiance Oxygenating Masque. It's very simple to use and only takes about ten minutes. It's foamy in consistency and is easily removed with water. After patting the skin dry use PTR Radiance Oxygenating Serum. Then follow with your moisturizer and sunscreen.
It is the best product ever to use before a special event! You seriously look years younger and so brightened up. If you have dull, lifeless skin with fine lines and wrinkles I promise you…You will be pleasantly surprised!

Magilton warns against complacency
Rangers have scored 13 goals in their last three home games to see off Barnsley, Preston and Reading. But while Magilton is enjoying their fine run, he knows no prizes are given out in October. "We're playing with confidence. The flow in the side is very good," said Magilton. "We've shown real positivity in everything we've done. The players are believing in what John (Gorman) and I are bringing. "If we still produce these performances in April, then the players have grasped it."

In the U.S.? Get iPhone & iPad cases for Christmas w/ standard shipping through Dec 9th
When I was little, I used to believe in the concept
of one best friend.
And then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart
to open up, you will be shown the best in many friends.
One friend is needed when you're going through things
with your partner.
Another friend is needed when you're going through
things with your parents.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you
delight in your children and their activities.
Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt,
joke, or just be.
One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,' another,
'Let's fight together,' another, 'Let's walk
One friend will meet your spiritual need, another
your shoe fetish, another your love for movies, another
will be with you in your season of confusion,
another will be your clarifier,
another the wind beneath your wings.
But what ever their assignment in your life, on
whatever the occasion, on whatever the day, or wherever you
need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair
pulled back,
or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself……..
Those are your best friends.
It may all be wrapped up in one woman, but for many,
it's wrapped up in several…..one from 6th grade,
one from high school, some from the college years,
a couple from old jobs.
On some days your mother. On some days your neighbor.
On others, your sisters, cousins.
And on some days, your daughters.
So whether they've been your friend for 20 minutes
or 20 years, let them know they have made a difference in your life.
I put this in once before, It is time to put it in again just to say Thank You.
caring, daughters, friends, mothers, share, sisters, talking, trust, poem
I Love Color and looking into different mediums to work with.
Enjoy the color and the feel.
Vickie, this is beautiful…did you write these inspiring words..it should be on a poster, the words ring so true.

Wow! Very nice! The perspective is fun and unique and the image has a timelessness to it that is enjoyable.
gorin-images said 2418 days ago:
Yup. Apparently, it is. Featured responses #12, 60, and 83 all feature similar straight-down perspectives, which if you think about it, are sort of unusual.
Also, Arne, you totally missed the SECONDARY connection to the theme: my little boy has a very UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE on life.
I was certain that out of the entire WeeklyShot group, you would appreciate this very clever additional layer of relevance ;)

Fun shot. I might have cropped from the left and top, to make it almost a square frame. The child's face would then be closer and have more detail, too.

So THIS is Jarrett Junior! Nice to see him :-) The secondary connection, though, is going over my head. What's that in reference to? His knack at wowing the chicks?

very cute, love the shadows
gorin-images said 2417 days ago:
That's my 3.5 year old Tristan, just before he turned three.
I do not photograph him enough. My mom said "I am lucky that interesting shadow was there, or I wouldn't have gotten this picture of my grandson". That shadow is why I didn't crop it in from the left, although I think the way you are suggesting it would be an equally good, or better composition. And it WOULD focus in on his face more, and that is really the best thing in this photo, in my totally biased opinion ;)
The secondary connection thing is a joke. Just me sarcastically responding to an unrelated comment having to do with relevance.
Little Tristan sure does seem to have whatever it takes to pick up women however ;) Not just one's his own age either.....I have met plenty of 23 to 32 year old women thanks to hanging out with Tristan on Sundays when my wife is at work.
Enough bragging about my little guy........

New Army Surgeon General Is First Woman, Nurse to Hold That Position
- Categorized in: Army, January 2012, News
WASHINGTON — With the swearing in of Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho, RN, as the Army's 43rd surgeon general, for the first time a woman or a nurse has been officially in command of the Army's largest medical organization. Horoho is both.
Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho, RN |
Horoho replaced former Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker, MD, who has served as commander since December 2007 and will retire this month.
At Horoho's swearing in and promotion on Dec. 7, she thanked her family and spoke of the importance of Army Medicine's mission.
"I understand that there are significant challenges ahead and continued operational demands," Horoho said. "One of Army Medicine's greatest challenges over the next three to five years is managing the escalating costs of providing world-class healthcare in a fiscally-constrained environment. I see these challenges as windows of opportunity for us to shape the future of Army Medicine, and I am confident, regardless of the environment or the landscape, that we will meet all challenges in true Army fashion."
At the ceremony, Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, chief of staff of the Army, said the impact of the Army surgeon general goes well beyond the Army to the "national and international level."
"This position requires a special officer that can lead change and achieve unity of effort in the dynamic, joint interagency and also in a multinational role working with our allies and partners around the world," he said.
Horoho previously served simultaneously as the U.S. Army deputy surgeon general and 23rd chief of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Master of Science in Nursing as a clinical trauma specialist from the University of Pittsburgh. She is a resident graduate of the Army's Command and General Staff College and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, where she earned a second Master of Science degree in National Resource Strategy.
She has earned many awards, including one this year from the University of North Carolina School of Nursing, which selected her as "Alumna of the Year."
Historical Significance
Horoho's appointment underscores how far women have come in the military since the mid-20th century.
When the Women's Armed Services Integration Act was signed into law in 1948, women were given permanent status in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. That act, however, placed a 2% percent ceiling on the number of women in each of the services, restricted promotions to one full colonel or Navy captain as chief of the Nurse Corps and/or service director and severely limited the number of female officers who could serve as lieutenant colonels or Navy commanders. Women also could be discharged without specified cause.
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Jonathan Woodson, MD, told U.S. Medicine that Horoho "is an outstanding individual," and her appointment as Army surgeon general and commander of the U.S. Army Medical Command "represents the institution's commitment to diversity at the highest levels of leadership."
Still, a woman or a nurse serving as a surgeon general in the Army, Navy or Air Force is unprecedented. No woman or nurse has permanently served as surgeon general in either the Navy or Air Force.
One other nurse and woman, Gale Pollock, served temporarily as acting Army surgeon general after then-Army Surgeon General Kevin Kiley resigned in the wake of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center scandal in 2007.
A policy change in 1996 made it possible for someone other than a physician to serve as the Army surgeon general, according to the Army Medical Command. The policy states that "the surgeon general may be appointed from officers in any corps of the Army Medical Department and, while so serving, has the grade of lieutenant general." The MEDCOM is made up of several groups including Nurse Corps, Dental Corps, Veterinary Service Corps and Medical Service Corps.
"Lt. Gen. Horoho's appointment and assumption of command should give hope to any officer in the Army MEDCOM, not just nurses, that they, too, can rise to the top position in the command and serve on the CSA's staff as the Surgeon General," an Army MEDCOM spokesperson told U.S. Medicine.
Should pay-for-performance be used to improve healthcare quality at the VA?

PMNCH What we do
Strategic Objective (SO) 3: Promote accountability for results
This objective will make availabile better information to monitor results for reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and better and more systematic tracking of actual allocation of resource commitments for women's and children's health.
Promoting the recommendations of the Commission on Information and Accountability (COIA)
Building on work that will have been undertaken in 2011, the Partnership will use its multi-stakeholder Partner network to ensure that the recommendations of the COIA are carried forward in key areas such as: ensuring that the 11 agreed indicators are promoted, either through a reworded RMNCH Consensus or similar action; and support for monitoring of commitments made to the Global Strategy by all Partners.
PMNCH 2011 Report on Commitments to the Global Strategy
The PMNCH 2011 Report supports the implementation of the COIA recommendations. As stated in the Commission's final report: "exercises like the report on tracking commitments related to the Global Strategy that is currently being undertaken by The Partnership on Maternal, Newborn & Child Health should provide useful and easily accessible baseline data on the financial, policy and programme commitments that were announced in September 2010.
Accountability-key element of human rights
Every country in the world is now party to at least one human rights treaty that addresses health-related rights. This includes the right to health, as well as other rights that relate to conditions necessary for women's and children's health.
The Countdown to 2015 for Maternal, Newborn & Child Survival
The Countdown to 2015 has been tracking progress of countries towards the achievement of MDGs 4 and 5 since 2005, focused on 68 priority countries which represent 97% of all global maternal and child deaths. As of 2012, 74 countries will be counted. The Countdown measures coverage of basic health services proven to reduce maternal and child mortality and assesses domestic and donor resources, the strength of health systems, the status of policies related to maternal, newborn and child health and how equitably health services are distributed. Through its regular Report and Conference, the Countdown also works to create accountability amongst governments and development partners and identifies knowledge gaps and proposes new actions to reach Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5. The Secretariat of the Countdown to 2015 Initiative is supported by the PMNCH Secretariat in Geneva.

Critical Essays
Hartley, L(eslie) P(oles) (Vol. 22)
L(eslie) P(oles) Hartley 1895–1972
English novelist, short story writer, and critic.
The unifying theme in Hartley's fiction is the search for individuality. A basic romanticism predominates in his work despite realistic English middle-class settings and historical backgrounds. In his presentation of moral dilemmas, he is often compared to Nathaniel Hawthorne. Critics also note Hartley's effective use of symbolism, but above all, his attention to craft and plot unity recall Henry James.
(See also CLC, Vol. 2, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 61-64; obituary, Vols. 37-40, rev. ed.)
The Saturday Review
[L. P. Hartley cares] seriously for truth, but in [Simonetta Perkins] human nature becomes, without falsification, something not easily recognizable…. Mr. Hartley's [feeling is] for the queer impulses which urge a character into actions on a superficial view uncharacteristic, but ironically appropriate. [He] creates people whom we cannot know completely, as we may know the puppets of the ordinary competent novelist: there remains, with … Mr. Hartley, the possibility of some disturbing twist of the mind. (p. 542)
[The subject of Simonetta Perkins] is the reaction of an American girl, Miss Johnstone, to what is most essentially Venetian. "No one knows where they are with me, because they really aren't anywhere, I am forever making up my mind about myself," she writes in her diary: Mr. Hartley gives us the process…. [He] has a remarkable talent for recording the twists of thought, the uneasy developments of emotion, in such characters as his heroine. He is capable of this paradoxical success of giving reality to a nature that is inconsistent, and can make us feel that the girl's aberrations, in one sense out of character, are yet very much hers. To complain that he has here spent his skill on material perhaps not quite worthy of it may seem ungracious. (p. 544)

Walter Allen
When we first met Eustace Cherrington [in The Shrimp and the Anemone] he was a little boy of nine living in an East Anglian seaside town at the beginning of the century bewildered, delicate, priggish, dominated by his elder sister Hilda. In The Sixth Heaven he is an undergraduate at Oxford, still delicate, timid, shadowed by guilt, dominated by Hilda, and vaguely literary in his leanings. The material, then, is precisely that from which the hardened reviewer of fiction automatically shrinks. He has, he believes, read it all before, so many times before; it is the material of nearly every English novelist's first attempt at fiction, whether published or not. The miracle is, Mr. Hartley makes it new and exciting, so exciting that one is not aware, as one reads, of all the other variants of similar material that have preceded it. His work is unique, reminiscent of no other writer.
In other words, Mr. Hartley is an artist…. The Sixth Heaven is composed, in the Jamesian sense. It is a triumph of art, existing in itself and for its own sake as a beautiful vase or a fine painting does. More ambitious, perhaps more important, certainly more grandiose novels have been published during 1946; but none has given me such keen and delighted aesthetic pleasure as The Sixth Heaven, and aesthetic pleasure is the rarest kind of pleasure one derives from fiction.

Paul Pickrel
[The Go-Between] is a study of a boy's premature initiation into the mysteries of evil….
The Go-Between is a very literary novel, and its literariness is of a high quality; it is a very mannered novel, and its manners are excellent…. Yet for all its beautiful craftsmanship, the book somehow does not have much of the illusion of life. Probably the chief reason is that the center of psychological interest and the center of narrative interest do not coincide. One senses that Mr. Hartley feels in the problem of the boy who fails to attain emotional maturity an urgency, a reality, greater than the plot that is here invented to account for it.

(The entire section is 138 words.)
The Times Literary Supplement
Mr. Hartley's curious new novel [Facial Justice] is a kind of religious science-fiction, part fantasy about the future and part satirical fable about the standardization and neutralization of men and women. Though it concerns an individual who rebels against a conformist regime, it is not at all like 1984; perhaps the easiest way to contrast the two books is to remark that whereas Orwell invented the Ten Minutes' Hate Mr. Hartley has invented the Five Minutes' Laughter programme. His book is a love-story about humanity, comic in spirit, not tragic, religious, not political; the regime it portrays is more pathetic than horrific, while the narration has the odd, contrived remoteness of a dream rather than the inevitability of a nightmare….
Facial Justice is dedicated to Hawthorne, who called his own psychological romances "allegories of the heart"; and some of Mr. Hartley's symbols—the veil worn by Jael after her "betafication", the Dictator's mysterious birthmark—can be found in Hawthorne. The wittily described primitive taboos which form so large a part of the Dictator's pathetic regime can be interpreted without much difficulty as satirical observations on various present-day attitudes to individuality. But it is in the rhapsodical dance at Ely, and in the final pages, that the heart of the allegory, and its meaning as a parable of the workings of the divine, must be sought. The conclusion is not altogether...
(The entire section is 335 words.)
Harvey Curtis Webster
[L. P. Hartley's] best novels are the Eustace and Hilda trilogy, The Boat, and The Go-Between, three of the most significant novels published in our century.
Not even his three most distinguished novels make their claim to permanence obviously. Nowhere does one find the stylistic innovations of Joyce or Gide. Though he learned the lesson of Henry James about a central point of view defined clearly, he allows himself liberties occasionally that suggest the "old fashionedness" of E. M. Forster and the nineteenth century English novelists. His style does not call attention to itself as frequently as that of, say, Virginia Woolf, because it is submerged in substance…. His apparent scope is not a great deal wider than that of Jane Austen or Ivy Compton-Burnett. It is his method to suggest the great world by intensively representing the smaller world most individuals inhabit. With Hartley, substance is the main thing and even this he approaches cautiously, circuitously, more like a birdwatcher than a hunter. (pp. 40-1)
Facial Justice is as interesting a novel about what the future may become as 1984 and Brave New World. I start with it because it presents his basic attitude toward life more expicitly than his other books. It differs from other good non-Utopias in its only superficial relationship to science fiction…. It is, as he intended, "a sort of satire on present day trends in...

John Athos
[L. P. Hartley's] experiments in form and technique … are limited, and it is not unfair, I think, to speak of him in these respects as an Edwardian writer, although his main inspiration goes back still farther. His impetus from the beginning has been romantic, and in particular he has always been drawn to the substance as well as the devices of the "Gothic" writers. It is in the light of this, I think, that one can usefully view an important aspect of his work.
Hartley published a volume of short stories in 1924, and a novelette, Miss Simonetta Perkins, in 1925. There were a few other stories after that but there was no novel until 1944. The eleven novels of these last seventeen or eighteen years are remarkably finished works, and it seems indeed that a long period of the most intelligent apprenticeship had prepared for them. I think we can observe in the first works—Miss Simonetta Perkins and the stories—the substantial material and inspiration he was to continue to draw on when the time came for the more sustained efforts.
It all centers, I think, in the way he conceives of evil. In one of the cruelest of the short stories, Podolo, an Englishman, resident in Venice, takes the wife of a friend of his for a picnic lunch to Podolo, a small island in the Venetian lagoon…. While they were idling pleasantly off the shore the English-woman noticed a cat on the island, scrawny, starving, and...

L. P. Hartley is regarded as being one of the century's leading novelists but if he had written only short stories his fame would have been equally assured. The stories [collected in The Complete Short Stories of L. P. Hartley]—early and late—flow into one another with a curiously traumatic rhythm, displaying various aspects of his ability to probe, as Lord David [Cecil] puts it, 'with an insight into the process of the conscience so sharp as to be painful'. Whether it is an early story, such as the spine-chilling almost mystical The Killing Bottle or a humorous later vignette like Mr. Blandfoot's Picture, the same qualities of meticulous observation blended with perception in depth of human foibles and inconsistencies are apparent, while for wit and characterisation … Mrs. Carteret Receives must rank as a masterpiece by any standards. Keeping himself well in the background like a more urbane and lovable Somerset Maugham, the narrator records his visits over the years to the formidable Carterets in their ostentatious Venice residence. In the end, World War II catches up with them. The couple move away, die, the house falls into other hands—and little tangible evidence is left of their anachronistic reign. One could wish there were more of it—yet everything necessary has been said about the Carterets and their entourage in the compass of twenty printed pages. (p. 214)

Anne Mulkeen
Basically, Hartley's novels seem variations on the Bildungsroman, the traditional novel of quest for selfhood. In each a more or less sensitive, perhaps slightly neurotic protagonist … undergoes some part of the inward journey from innocence through experience to higher innocence, in a setting documenting one of the crucial moments in recent history: the beginnings of the century and life among the country houses of the Edwardian era; World War I; English society in between-the-wars Venice; World War II; the Welfare State and the crumbling of the class system; the post-World-War-III future. (p. 9)
Hartley is an explorer of our own age, not a gentle fabler of the past. At his best he asks more questions than he answers; he tries to let us experience in microcosm and think about the dilemmas and contradictions and polarities of living when and where we live. With the protagonists we sway between imaginativeness and a sense of reality, between going along with the current sense of life and trying to go against it, between a regard for one's own selfhood and the call to place others before that self. From the dialectics emerge, from time to time, evidences of forces which insist upon being recognized, though we have sworn they are not there. Hartley's universe keeps suggesting at their work those mysterious realities which we used to call evil, grace and Providence—and to which, he seems to imply, we may have to give new names...
(The entire section is 4180 words.)
R. E. Pritchard
[In The Go-Between,] the story of a young lad exploited by two passionate clandestine lovers, Hartley intends us to see an extra dimension, the pattern of this century: a self-deceiving idealism that denies human reality, the exploitation of people and feelings for ulterior ends, a willingness to indulge in irrationality, that all combine to produce disaster….
The novel deals with the repression of true feeling, and its consequences. It is—like its protagonist—very selfconscious, and is elaborately wrought. The reader needs not only to come to terms with the social codes of the turn of the century, to recognise the social and sexual blinkering of the middle-class young of the time, and to respond sympathetically to the introverted and unworldly young protagonist, Leo Colston, but also to appreciate the sophisticated and even knowing use of various literary devices, especially irony, allusion and symbolism.
These last features are crucial to the work; their deployment is, in a sense, its main concern. The repressed young protagonist sublimates his half-recognised feelings into fantasies and idealisation: he interprets life in terms of fairy-tale and romance. Part of the problem of The Go-Between is that, while this is a characteristic of his, it is also, to a very great extent, the method of the novel itself. Leo composes fictions; and Hartley's fiction in turn parades its fictional devices and...

text: Jim Hall the issue you are talking about is not exactly true. > Doesn't work with newer cards and motherboards that don't need or use shared RAM. Opengl itself that wine uses. Give no promise that data will be stored in the video card. Under opengl spec its fine to be stored in cpu ram or video card or anywhere else your opengl drivers see fit. Due to this fact Opengl does not in fact tell applications how much ram a video card has. Since it should not need to know. Wine has a table of video cards models it looks up and takes the size from that. How did you try the registry key for video card memory size. Many people stuff up. Set value stop wine completely with like wineserver -k then run application and the new size should appear. The value is not for shared ram systems at all. Its due to the fact opengl tell us nothing about how much ram the card has. So wine takes a guess. Now either Jim you have run into a bug with wine detection of your card. Or a bug in wine feedback path to application reporting memory size what will be fake or guessed never real. If it matches real everything has worked out good. Really you have not provided enough information Jim. If you are running a old version of wine. There is a possibility that wine is failing to 256 because it simply does not know you card. Wine --version, program and video card please oiaohm

Email delivery times are a bit like the tires on your car. You usually only think about them when something goes wrong.
I say this because I'm guessing most folks may not have noticed anything about a change in the delivery speed of email sent through Yahoo! Groups. But thanks to the hard work of the back-end engineers and the Operations team, there has indeed been a change — a positive one! The chart below, which tracks the delivery time of a sample email we send every minute to test the system, tells the story:
As it shows, over the most recent week, the delivery time of mail sent through the Groups system has dropped dramatically, with more than 95 percent of messages being routed in under 20 seconds and with most messages being delivered in under 10 seconds. Given that Yahoo! Groups delivers more than 500 million messages each day, this is no small feat!
Yahoo! Groups Emails and ISPs
Now I'm guessing that some of you might be skeptical because you might still be experiencing delays on emails sent through Groups. On a high level, assuming the problem isn't simply a moderator taking his or her time before approving messages, there are two possible explanations:
1. There might be a problem on our side
Though the system has been dramatically improved, it's still not perfect. Servers go down (we maintain hundreds), new systems can be improperly configured, spam and virus attacks can cause dramatic spikes in the number of messages coming through the system. No matter how hard we try or how many safeguards we build into the system, there will be times when messages will be delayed on our end. We don't want to pretend that this will never be the case, though we are working hard to minimize those occasions.
2. There might be a problem with your ISP or email program
Unfortunately, there are also limits to what the Yahoo! Groups team can do. When you send an email it goes from
As a team, Yahoo! Groups controls only the experience in the middle. Ultimately, we rely on your ISP and email program to deliver the email in a timely fashion.
What to Do When You're Experiencing Delays
So a question is probably running through your minds: Which do I contact when I'm experiencing delays — my ISP/mail provider or Yahoo! Groups?
The Good News: There is a way to tell. By looking at the full email headers of a message that has been delayed, you can frequently tell whether the delay was caused by your ISP or Yahoo! Groups. If the problem lies with us, let us know. Please send a copy of the headers with your complaint.
If the problem lies with your ISP, please contact that company. You'll definitely get them to take you more seriously if you include the full headers of your delayed message. And you can also refer them to this group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ygmailadmin/), which is specifically for ISP administrators who want to work better with Yahoo! Groups.
A Contest
The Bad News: As you'll see when you check out the links for how to read a message header, it's not that easy for someone who is not technically inclined. In fact, none of the pages I've seen are so simple and clear that I feel comfortable referring most Groups users to them. But it would be really helpful if such a page existed.
So an idea occurred to us. We know there are tons of users on the message boards and in the group about Groups, who have the technical expertise, the knowledge about how Groups users think, and the willingness to help others make a great page.
So we want to challenge you to create the best possible "How to Read a Groups Email Header" page. If you accept this challenge, post a link to your page in the comments below. Then we'll choose the best one, feature you and the page in a blog entry (and in Help), and send you a package of Yahoo! schwag as a thank-you.
We're looking forward to seeing what you come up with. And in the mean time, thanks again to the Yahoo! Groups Back End and Operations team for their work on improving delivery times!

Miami Heat Are Talking Trade, But With Limited Assets to Offer
With every game Dwyane Wade misses due to his balky knees, the Miami Heat struggle to win, in part because they don't have much depth at the shooting guard position. With that in mind, Miami is reportedly talking with other teams about a possible trade.
The more significant aspect to the Heat's struggles is the lack of a defensive anchor and a rebounder at the center position. The Houston Rockets are telling other teams that they intend to trade disgruntled center Omer Asik by December 19. Asik would look very nice opposite Chris Bosh on the Heat front line if the Heat is able to put forth a compelling trade package and, at the same time, stomach the massive payroll and tax implications.
The Heat's most likely chips in any trade are forward Udonis Haslem and center Joel Anthony, who both have fallen out of the rotation but also carry the drawback of time on their contracts beyond this season. Anthony, making $3.8 million this season and owning a player option for the same amount in 2014-15, has zero trade appeal to other teams. Haslem, making $4.3 million this season with a player option for $4.6 million in 2014-15, doesn't figure to have a whole lot more appeal (his contract also contains a 15% trade bonus which, by league rule, he cannot waive, but would nonetheless only apply to this season).
The Heat could presumably also look to trade anyone else, other than the Big Three and Ray Allen, if the right deal came along.
Beyond player assets, the Heat could also offer up to $3.2 million in cash, the maximum annual cash limit for the 2013-14 season.
Finally, they can offer draft considerations. But, given the pick obligation they still owe to satisfy the LeBron James sign-and-trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers, any pick trades would be severely limited at this point.
The trading of N.B.A. draft picks is restricted by a series of intricate rules that have been put in place in order to protect teams that are trading away the picks from themselves. History suggests that teams need these protections so as not to unwittingly destroy their own franchises. Read more…

Glad No Matter What
Transforming Loss and Change into Gift and Opportunity
"This is not a book about feeling glad when you don't – how annoying. This is a book about finding and living from the Glad parts in all of your feelings. I call it Practical Gladness" ~ SARK
Though SARK has empowered millions to live their creative dreams, manage their businesses, and savor personal connections, the deaths of her mother and cat and the end of a treasured relationship tested her ability to walk her talk. But as Glad No Matter What shows, she journeyed through the spirals and layers of grief and loss and emerged stronger and more whole. In this inspiring book, she shares the insights she found along the way — practical strategies we can all use to cultivate profound, positive transformation through, rather than despite, life's inevitable travails.
"SARK shows us how to live with greater genuine happiness even when we're facing tough challenges or tumultuous change. I loved this book!" ~ Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason
"This book will take you on a journey straight to the heart, holding your hand every step of the way." ~ Cheri Huber, Zen teacher, writer, speaker and author of There is Nothing Wrong With You
"Are you in the tender time between no longer and not yet? No need to freak out. SARK comes to the rescue with a wise, healing, and practical book that will help you find your way through loss and change. This book is like a wise girlfriend, a life coach, and a guru all rolled into one." ~ Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of It's Not the End of the World: Developing Resilience in Times of Change
"In a masterful way that's almost a left brain/right brain tango, SARK has laid out the path for us to transform our lives no matter what the world throws at us." ~ Chip Conley, founder of Joie de Vivre hotels and author of PEAK

Rich Van Wyk/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - While city leaders are trying to win a Super Bowl in Atlanta, stadium officials here have a construction battle in one hand and a victory in another.
The Indianapolis contractor installing the heating, air conditioning and plumbing at Lucas Oil Stadium suddenly shut down Friday, pulling scores of workers and equipment from the site.
The Stadium Building Authority scrambled all weekend to recover.
"All the plumbers that were working last week are working there this week and working today. We will make sure they get a paycheck until the plumbing is done," said John Klipsch, executive director, Indiana Stadium and Convention Building Authority.
A bank seized the 92-year-old Frank E. Irish company. Despite a $34 million stadium contract its president tells our Indianapolis Star news-gathering partners the firm is $5 million in debt.
A bonding company is paying the additional costs. Most of the plumbing is finished. The Building Authority insists the opening date won't change.
"This is a small hiccup in the scheme of things," said Klipsch.
The building authority is showing off a block long over-and-underground tunnel connecting the expanded convention center to Lucas Oil stadium.
Visitors from a large part of downtown will be able walk to the stadium without getting too hot, too cold or too wet.
Combined with existing enclosed walkways, guests of more than 5,000 thousand hotel rooms won't have to venture outside.
"For convention and trade shows this is an amenity critically important to making two buildings work together," said David Frick, ISCBA chairman.
The climate-controlled connector should be complete by the winter of 2010.

RESEARCH NOTESPAUL TINDALL JONES & SNETZLER In 1997 I published an article about the Snetzler organs of Huntingdon1 in which I expressed some scepticism regarding Snetzler's partnership with James Jones. However, research has moved on; John Marsh's journal records explicitly in November 1783 that 'Jones [was] late partner with and successor to the famous Snetzler', and Samuel Green told him at that time that Jones was about to retire.2 In June 1784 Jones was 'now retir'd to Kentish Town' when Marsh sought him out, but he was still supplying bits of pipework to Marsh late in 1786.3 Bernard Edmonds has tracked down the Huntingdon references to A History of Huntingdon published in 1824: payments are recorded there to Jones & Snetzler at St Mary's in 1773 and All Saints in 1775.4 One more instrument is ascribed to the partnership: the Edinburgh Evening Courant, 27 July 1801, offers 'An Organ to be Sold . . . in Saint Cecilia's Hall . . . Made by Jones & Snetzler'. This had been made in 1775, and was transferred in 1802 to the Assembly Rooms. 5

SNETZLER ADDENDA Stephen Taylor of Leicester put forward a view in 1878 which unlikely to be shared by many members of BIOS: Snetzler is the name of another old organ builder, of about 1764: in fact, this is the date in two of his organs which I have had in my possession and which I was very glad to get rid of, since they were wretched instruments, being like all other old organs, poor, thin, screamy, and nasal toned.
. . . to the Steyne Hotel (in Worthing) to hear the Organ in the assembly room (used also as a Freemason's Hall), a good one of Snetzler's . . . The following are some notes on Snetzler instruments described in Barnes & Renshaw, according to their gazetteer numbers: 5. Moravian Chapel, Fetter Lane. The rebuilder in 1898 was actually Alex J. Doubtful attributions list:
5. Leatherhead, ex St Mary, Watford. Pipework from this instrument was identified by Martin Renshaw as of domestic rather than Snetzler manufacture. This can now be confirmed, as a payment of £163 to Thomas Parker in August 1766 has been found, misplaced, in the Watford records.8 WILLIAM ALLEN AND ROBERT ALLEN 11.

Introduction to CIPEM
This is the website of CIPEM, the Comité International Permanent des Études Mycéniennes (International Permanent Committee of Mycenaean Studies), an affiliate of UNESCO. CIPEM concerns itself with the study of the non-alphabetic writing systems of the ancient Greek world. These scripts are Cretan Hieroglyphic, Linear A and Linear B in the Bronze Age Aegean, and Cypro-Minoan and the Cypriot Syllabic script in Bronze Age and Iron Age Cyprus.
CIPEM has held 13 international Colloquia; the first, in 1956, took place in Gif-sur-Yvette outside of Paris following on the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris in 1952. CIPEM also facilitates international cooperation between those studying the Aegean and Cypriot scripts, especially by developing agreed standards for transcription and publication.

A comedy about a zookeeper who might be great with animals, but he doesn't know anything about the birds and the bees. The man can't find love, so he decides to quit his job at the zoo, but his animal friends try to stop him and teach him that Mother Nature knows best when it comes to love.
Log in to post a review.
If this was supposed to be a comedy it wasn't a very good one. It didn't make for a good comedy but it was an alright movie otherwise. It's definitely better than the rating that it was given by other people. Worth a watch especially if you have kids. They will probably find it more enjoyable than adults will. 5.5/10

...match situations like the hitting performance of batters is recorded for a number of different situations, such as day versus night games, on grass fields and artificial turf fields, against pitchers who throw right handed and left handed, and during home and away games.
Nice thorough OP. It was my understanding that other principles included manipulating the acceptable stats, ie a pitcher getting an easy innings at the end to boost his perceived worth, and having a punt on bad penny players who were undervalued.
Thats all fine but there is much more to a game of football than passes and tackles - how do you measure zonal positioning? Where the attacking team dont have an positional output because of the zonal positioning of a defensive player?
Also it's not really a case of stats = success but the right stats = can get you ahead of the pack.
The key to Sabermetrics was to identify which stats are meaningful in order to determine the quality of a player.For example, in your post you mentioned the passes success rates. However that stat alone does not determine the effect the player had on the game. If half of the passes were made between defender and defensive midfielder, then they can be classified as not being important.However what would be more interesting is the number of successful passes were made to a player in the final third. A high passing rate here would be of value, as it would mean that the player has the ability to find another player in the most dangerous part of the field, and were most of our moves break down.
Some of the right stats cannot be measured leaving you with a slightly warped statistical impression of the game. Most of the game is played off the ball.The only stats that get you ahead of the pack are the ones that prove the goals for are higher than the goals against. Measuring everything else is futile. I really couldnt give a rats ass if Lucas made 100 completed passes and 100 completed tackles if we get beat 3 nil.
there is a great thread about this here: http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=264503.0everyone that hasn't read it should do soit made me understand and accept the Torres transfer at the time
I figure that a high tackling rate by our attacking players meant the ball was contained in the opponents half of the pitch, I might be wrong but it makes sense. Like if the back 4 were doing alot of the defensive work with the players infront ball watching but at the same time keeping possession of the ball it's safe to say it's counter productive. As for finding how many successful passes into the final 3rd were completed that would be a valuable stat I agree... but that's the problem it's know what stats are the valuable ones that's the key.... make of it what you will.
Well maybe...just maybe, we RAWKites should take the initiative and crack our brains over what can and should be measured.How about "involvement" or "direct contribution to goals" ?Off the top of my mind is instead of purely assists, how about involvement in, say, 3 passes before each goal. Or % of passes in relation to the team for that game.There are more i'm sure.
He hadn't played as if he was on fire, more the slight breeze cutting across New Brighton on a summer's day than El Nino, the force of nature.
We've won 18 titles, 5 European Cups, 7 FA Cups, but today must be the greatest victory of all.
It doesn't really work like that though does it? If you look at any football match in isolation, then the statistics won't prove much. But look at the collated statistics over 38 games and you should see things very differently. You'll probably find that the the team who have had the most shots, passes, tackles and possession etc are the ones who have just won the league.As usual, some people see the word "statistics" and come in to say that statistics are a load of bollocks. I suspect that the people who say this just struggle to understand the concept of statistics. As yet, I've never met anyone who has a good understanding of statistics to believe they are worthless and irrelevant bollocks.
What if one tackle is a combination of excellent reading of the game and exquisite timing to prevent what would otherwise be a certain goal. Then another is when the opponent takes a bad touch in a nothing area of the pitch and the player gets a lucky toe in to put it out for a throw.Do they both count as the same?
It depends upon the stats. You could design a system that measures the importance of the tackle - and then you would be able to differentiate. A system that just records the number of tackles would be of limited utility. But I suspect JWH would be looking at something far more sophisticated...
I like balls.
exactly mate, there`s no context, a player could make up yards of ground on an opponent clean through on goal, put in a tackle and lose the tackle but force the opponent wide or force him to take another couple of seconds to get the ball under control again and in the mean time the rest of the defence has got back.is that `lost tackle` a negative stat that should go against the player or a tremendous piece of defensive cover?it`s like assists as well, quite often the best pass in a move isnt the one just before the goal is scored.the game is too fluid to turn into a science.
But statistics are only useful if interpreted the right way. Any set of statistics will have flaws in them. To draw meaningful conclusions from them requires an understanding of their limitations. As an example take the tacking statistics? The key to understanding them would be to understand what is a successful tackle. For instance Kuyt attempted 13 tackles but won 4. How many of the unsuccessful tackles resulted in the opposition player having to play a hurried ball, that put the receiver in trouble? Stats will only measure what they are designed to do. They can certainly tell a lot about a players contribution, but they are still just a tool. In the wrong hands, they can be horrible. Ask the FA.
They're all shown in a map of the tackles made. The statistical look may be significant over a longer run, while for a shorter period the map may be more informative. The tackling maps of Lucas and Mascherano, during the periods when each was the main tackler in the team, describes how they approach the role of DM differently. As always, it's not the data which is insignificant, but precisely which data is being looked at, and what conclusions are drawn. A blanket dismissal of such analyses is as wrong as drawing the wrong conclusions from the wrong set of data.
sounds a bit like thinking the worlds flat or man will never fly , I dont want it to be true but it is they will model footballthe sabermetrics link is sound because the big advantage that early users gained was they looked at things that actually made a difference rather than basic stats e.g there used to be a set number of things people looked for in baseball - speed of foot, number of home runs, a player needed to look like a player - this was all old school thinking what happened pre-sabermetrics was that Bill James discovered that actually all the old time scouts had it largely wrong, they were looking at what they thought mattered and not what actually mattered and there was massive resistance to it because nobody in the establishment wanted to listen despite the stats - James looked at different things than the traditional statto's - it was those different stats that mattered not the actual measurement -player performance has always been judged - its how you do it that makes the differencenot until one lad Billy Beane (the lad who recommended Comolli to fsg) actually listend and implemented what James was saying did anybody actually sit up and listen. Beane was able to put together a good team on a very very limited budget and get them to massively over perform - the equivalent of getting Blackpool into the CL.What we need to think about is not the number of tackles won or lost or the distance somebody runs but the key aspects of the game and what they are - what makes a good player, a good team, a good performance and how do you measure it.A great winger playing with a poor forward may get 5 assists, the forward may get 5 goals so how do you know who is the better player - you'd need to count the number of chnaces missed - say the winger supplied 20 crosses and only 25% were converted - then you'd want to look at crosses as key stat....... but a crap winger with a great forward mayget 5 assists from 20 crosses but the chances he created were all of far poorer quality and only the ability of the forward made the goals....... so then it becomes a question of quality crosses - so how do you measure a quality cross......a cross that gives the forward a high percentage chance to score ? Eventually somebody clverere than me with the patience will figure the answer out.the answer isn't trusting your own eyes though because they are completely biased.just like the people on here who want to 'trust their- own eyes' -

Tough times
- Published: 27/08/2012 at 12:00 AM
- Newspaper section: Life
The facelifted Lexus RX has a raft of re-invigorated competition. It's time for a game of chess.
After being on the market for three years now, the Lexus RX gets a mid-life facelift including that spindle-like front grille, LED daytime-running front lights and the svelte steering wheel from the high-end GS executive saloon.
However, the revision is restricted to just the visual appearance. The entire engine range (see sidebar below) remains untouched.
This week, we'll see how all three RXs fare in a luxury SUV market that recently has seen a raft of re-invigorated competition.
The Lexus you see here is the RX350, the middle version that becomes the only luxury SUV in Thailand to come with a petrol-powered V6 if you don't count the Mazda CX-9, which is ageing and not conceived as a direct rival in terms of brand marketing.
Front gains LED daytime-running lights.
Although the cosmetic tweak is mild at its best, the fashionable LED lights help give the RX a refreshed presence, judging from curious onlookers on the road.
The steering wheel, finished with nice materials and incorporated with remote switches for various functions, helps lift a largely unchanged interior.
Speaking of the cabin, comfort remains a selling point in the RX in which the rear chairs can recline for chilling out.
Standard kit in the RX is also commendable such as the class-leading 10 airbags, front seats with cool-air ventilation and a sophisticated multi-media/sat-nav system.
The supple suspension makes for a comfortable primary ride, the light steering for effortless handling and a responsive V6 allows for convincing performance.
Then there's the petrol-electric hybrid of the RX450h that additionally rewards with V8-like oomph for driving enthusiasts while at the same time offering economy levels of a normal four-pot motor.
The RX270 and RX350 are quite thirsty on fuel. And don't think for a minute you can save money with the RX450h, for it costs the most in the whole range.
While ride comfort is generally fine, the secondary ride is spoiled by occasional underbody vibrations over ruts. It deteriorates as you scale further up the RX ladder (excessive weight of the hybrid system being the primary suspect).
Lastly, the RX sounds pricey at some 4-7 million baht.
That's because it's an import from Japan, whereas nearest rivals in that price range are either assembled in the country or enjoy special excise tax (the hybrid RX can't attract 10% because the V6 exceeds 3,000cc).
There are some likeable bits of the RX such as its sleek profile nearly matching the niche-breaking BMW X6, highly comfortable interior and refined petrol engines.
But the biggest problem is not from within but from its competition which has moved the game further.
For example, you might crave the RX270 for its cheap price. It might be slightly smaller in size, but the diesel-powered BMW X3 shines with its far superior economy, punchier performance, impeccable chassis set-up and lower price by nearly half-a-million baht.
If only size and power matter to you, the RX350 might suffice. But then there's the Mercedes-Benz M-class with its equally big, if slightly larger, body, sufficient pace and, again, lower price.
For those with plenty of money to spare, the RX450h may be the epitome in hybrid tech and offers rewarding performance. But for that kind of money, you can now get the Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid (it gains that crucial 10%) which additionally boasts richer brand image, near-400hp performance and a brilliant chassis.
It appears the RX is cornered from all angles. In other words, it's checkmate for the RX.
