History and 3B for 2011
September 8th, 2010 | by Ray Flowers |I got a hankering to write about third sackers today, so I'm gonna lead off the piece today with that before moving on to two players whose place in history is already secure. Will those two "old timers" hang them up after the 2010 season, or will they continue to hang around?
Aramis Ramirez just can't stay healthy, and his most recent visits to the doctor's office is for a strained quadriceps muscle. At the same time the guy has been nails since the All-Star game hitting .295 with an .899 OPS. He's also gone deep 12 times while knocking in 41 runs in just 45 games – that's roughly a pace for 45 homers and 150 RBI. That recent run of excellence has upped his year marks to 22 homers and 73 RBI in just 403 at-bats on the season. By the way, Ramirez has the same homer total as Alex Rodriguez and one more than Evan Longoria, while only one third basemen in the game has more RBI in fewer at-bats this season (Scott Rolen has 78 RBI in 408 at-bats). I'm still going to have Aramis Ramirez in my top-10 third basemen next season, in fact, I'll likely have him much higher than that. Since I brought it up, here are my thoughts on who my top-10 are at third base for the 2011 season (if you want to see how the supremely intelligent Ted Carlson ranked the top-10 third basemen for next season you can give his piece a read his his Five Tool Blog). Here is my list.
1- David Wright
2- Evan Longoria
3- Alex Rodriguez
4- Ryan Zimmerman
5- Aramis Ramirez
6- Mark Reynolds
7- Pablo Sandoval
8- Michael Young
9- Adrian Beltre
10- Jose Bautista
I want to puke at listing Bautista at #10, but there will be many who will likely put him even higher. Putting Pablo ahead of Young is a bit risky, but I'm going with the youngster and the upside potential over Mr. Reliable from Texas. I hesitate to list Reynolds 6th given that he is batting a rancid .211, but he is still second at the position with 32 bombs, has knocked in 83 runs, has stolen seven bases and scored 74 runs.
Ivan Rodriguez hit an impressive .296 over the first 60 games of the season, but he has regressed substantially since the All-Star break with a .229 mark. On the year he is batting .270 which is certainly passable for a catcher, but his OBP is a sickly .292 which looks slightly better when you compare it to his mere .348 SLG. I-Rod is 193 hits short of becoming the first catcher to ever produce 3,000 hits, but does he have enough left to play two more season to get there?
Trevor Hoffman picked up his 600th save the other night in a truly remarkable display of longevity and effectiveness. Mariano Rivera has 555 career saves, but the next highest hurler who is currently in the big leagues is Billy Wagner (417) who has already stated, emphatically, that this will be his last season. This begs the question – who will be the next member of the 500 save club? The answer might be nobody, especially since the next active hurler is Francisco Cordero with 285 saves.
Back to Hoffman for a moment. He does have a 6.09 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP on the season, numbers that are completely out of place for the HOF bound hurler signaling that his career is at an end. However, if you look beneath the surface you will realize that over his last 29 games that he has posted a 2.63 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. He's no longer a viable 9th inning option, but that doesn't mean he couldn't help someone's bullpen in a setup role in 2011 if he wished to continue his illustrious career.

Join us on Tuesday, January 29th at Noon in Tome 115 for the first Math/CS Chat of the semester. Our very own Professor Dick Forrester will present "Optimization Modeling". Free pizza & everyone is welcome to attend.
Abstract: Operations Research (OR) is a scientific approach to analyzing problems and making decisions, usually under conditions requiring the allocation of scarce resources. In this talk, we focus on optimization modeling, which involves minimizing or maximizing a function (such as costs or profits) given that the solution must satisfy certain restrictions and requirements. We will learn about the modeling process, and about some of the most common types of models, such as resource allocation, scheduling, blending, and fixed-charge models.

Will the stock tires and rims for the 2wd fit without any modifications on the 4x4?
Will the stock tires and rims for the 2wd fit without any modifications on the 4x4?
4x4 Slash PE
IDK.... I was going to order the JC ones... But I don't know if they'll fit. SO I'm waiting on wheels and tires until the 4x4 is in my hands. Which I hope is soon.
Slash 4X4 PLATINUM EDITION, Revo 3.3 Crawler
I was gonna wait, but I couldn't... I ordered up some 30 series, those'll fit!!
Here's some compaison shots of stock slash wheels, and some 30 series...
2 Slash 4x4's, B/L Rusty, and a Crawler
The wheels on the Slash 4x4 are the same as the REAR wheels on the Slash 2wd. So 2 sets of slash rear wheels would be what you need for the slash 4x4.
im planning on getting two sets of the 2wd slash rear wheel sets for my 4wd to use as basher tires around the house and the new wheels that come with it for the track.
Anything that fits the rear of the Slash 2wd will fit the Slash 4x4. I am going with the JConcepts. Was told by my lhs I'd have my Slash 4x4 Dec 15. Going crazy. lol
How about using the same offsets from the back 2wd tires on the front of the new 4x4? Or is there a different size hex for the rear 2wd tires?
4x4 Slash PE
hex size is the same all around
2 Slash 4x4's, B/L Rusty, and a Crawler
i believe the jconcepts tense wheels are the same size for all four wheels , not 100% sure on that but id like to know if they would fit aswell before they go up in price when the 4wd comes out.
If they are the same size hexes, that means that the 2wd wheels will work, right?
4x4 Slash PE
correct. the 2wd rears fit front and rear on the 4wd.Originally Posted by NCSDRacing
This means that the hexes on the 2wd are different sizes? Sorry for the stupid question, if it is .
4x4 Slash PE
2wd has same size hexes front and rear but diffrent offsets. the rear offset for the rear 2wd is the same as 4wd front and rear. and the only stupid question is the one you dont ask...Originally Posted by NCSDRacing
Im using the Losi Switch tires on HPI Wheels, for my 4x4 slash when it comes in. I have the tires all ready to do and they look pretty nice together.
I picked up a set of trepador tires as well, but im using thoes on my E-Slayer because they look like they will provide great traction for the higher speeds, and heavier truck.
But, its winter here until may anyhow, so i wont be able to test for a while :P
So all I need for my 2wd front tires are a pair of rear offsets (the same as the rear 2wd) and they will work with the Slash 4x4 all around, right?
4x4 Slash PE
yes, rear wheels from 2wd slash will be the proper offset for all four wheels on the 4x4 slash (both have the same hex size)
Stock Slash 4x2
Slash 4x4 RTR
Does anyone know how I can tell the different offsets? I bought a 2x4 Slash a couple of months ago and a full set of Proline wheels from my lhs. Since then I have sold the Slash but I still have 4 brand new tires/wheels. What I didn't realize is that the 2x4 Slash actually had different offset wheels!
This is what my set LOOKS LIKE that I currently have but all 4 tires show a model:1076. Nothing on the wheels that I can see.
On Towerhobbies link I grabbed the rear link but the front link is also the same except for the description and model numbers showing a rear / front model.

They told me the hex adapters for the front of the 2WD Slash will give me the 1/2" offset I'm looking for to get a wider stance. I'm about to order CityBlock soft compound fitted on AKA short course wheels. Hopefully all of this will work the way I want!!
VXL-Bandit,Stampede&Rustler, Slash 2WD, 4X4 Slash on order
I know the stock traxxas wheels have Front or Rear molded into the back side of the whee. Check and see if proline did the same thing, that would be your easiest way to go about it.Originally Posted by babacksh
Slash PE, Slash 2wd, E-revo BE soon
Originally Posted by Jason_garrison

That worked!! I now know which 2 are front and rears. I guess now I need to go sell my front unused tires/rims to someone since I cannot use them on my new Slash 4x4 I ordered.
Thanks again for the response.
I assume they will fit, since they are used in the review that Radio Control Car Action did on the Slash 4x4

Election now we're governor Romney's back in US soil now returning from a campaign trip overseas where the media hit him hard it.
For comments in London than in Israel than later try to confront him at a holy cited -- That -- were a Romney aides stepped in -- You.
On the net -- I respect we have another chance at the questions -- asked this is cool site forced people.
Show some respect.
Governor Romney calling the attacks.
A distraction.
All in an effort divert focus from.
Job number one in America -- I realize that that there will be some.
In the in the fourth estate -- whichever state.
Who are far more interest and in in finding something to write about that is -- related to the economy.
To geopolitics.
To the threat of a war.
To the reality of conflict in Afghanistan today.
To a denuclearization of Iran they'll they'll instead trying to find it try and find anything else to divert from the fact that.
These last of four years have been tough years for a country that been -- years of tumult in the world.
And we need to see a better direction taken.
On the part of our nation.
That interview with Carl Cameron where it left Poland Alan Colmes is most of the Alan -- radio show Tucker Carlson.
Editor of the daily caller of Fox's contributor gentlemen good morning to both in the morning you two issues -- work -- here okay.
Issue number one Tucker did the media overplayed this -- attack on governor Romney here whatever it's.
-- what you're supposed to shout questions of politicians I guess that's the standards have changed in the last couple weeks.
-- they over played it I mean of course they overplayed the press doesn't like Mitt Romney there for Obama obviously we know that.
There's -- -- whining about it by the way you work with what you have and that's the situation.
What we live with Romney's problem was telling an obvious truth that no one foreign person would disagree with -- -- Culture affects outcomes and in the case it is real.
And the Palestinians is really cultures more conducive to economic since success the Palestinian culture who can argue with that -- I'd love to hear the Obama people.
We're calling this gap and saying it's outrageous and agreeing that it's racist I'd look -- -- explain why it's not true because they can't.
I think I found someone who would argue with -- regular -- what his name is -- -- -- go and I personally always blame the media when you really don't get what you want and you what he told Romney told Carl Cameron.
I wasn't talking about the Palestinian culture.
He clearly was segment Palestinian culture and then he's got an op Ed piece out -- in the national review.
Talking about the Palestinian culture and tying it to the economy.
When the Palestinian economy can't be compared the Israeli economy number one they're not -- state.
Number two we give to an American tax dollars.
Billions of dollars a year -- Israel so for him to even compare them is ridiculous and then make believe what he -- the Carl Cameron he never.
Put down the Palestinian culture if he's going to be a leader on the world stage and possibly have to deal with mideast peace.
You can't make those kind of statement to -- make believe Tucker.
Yeah well we give money to.
Palestinians as well as as well as a lot of -- -- as the wealth a lot of other impoverished countries to Egypt for example.
On that aren't as successful as this really the bottom line here and I'm not gonna defend.
Romney's changing explanation for what he said he got it right the first time which is culture affects outcomes Alan there's no arguing with that.
That again is really culture.
Is more conducive to economic success than Palestinian -- by the way the culture of many other countries Palestine not even a country know -- -- -- country with.
Whatever not on -- they're -- -- you can compare to this state land mass would borders and of people with the national identity -- out of state call whatever you want okay fine.
But it doesn't change the point that young guns which was accurate in fact it's beyond.
If not beyond debate we -- you can't compare the amount of money we give.
Palestine the Palestinian Authority to what we give Israel organizing a real risk as we get the money that -- you literally want to make that case is Israel's economy is partly because.
Of what we.
The American taxpayer dollars have been running -- -- -- by the free market we don't need government our government and taxpayer dollars go to help support Israel we don't get anywhere near that -- to the Palestinian Authority you can't even compare the -- is -- -- -- -- culture and he's really misstep -- -- attorneys and I -- that our -- -- -- -- -- what I do every -- Israel they went -- before I do believe this debate will continue culture does matter the -- is -- is the name of the article without -- that up issue number two Tucker has to do with Harry -- -- made a comment about Mitt Romney's tax returns a reference to his deceased father.
Without proof for verification or even the name of -- source now why is the senate majority leader making such.
Because he's a relentless partisan who has almost no ability to control what he says and it and and very and nasty too by the way in those comments and some of you can't beat a television.
I would say you know you're gonna see a lot more this as long as those tax returns.
Aren't public frankly I mean that's just true I'm I'm not.
Taking a moral stand on whether or not -- released his tax -- but the political fact is.
As long as we don't know what's in -- people can come up all kinds of -- was this John Allen Buckley was this justified.
-- we had a -- that I am I gonna have been limited number of years tax records -- -- -- -- do's father.
No I'm not gonna defend what Harry Reid says because he was on -- and it's a it's a here it's hearsay.
Oven Mitt Romney could have -- is a long time ago that he think he could run for president.
-- -- releasing tax return to his father actually broke the mold when he released twelve or thirteen years.
You can't you know -- you could see for the sake of argument you can see a political operative saying something that's.
Yeah I style I -- -- -- I knew what he I'm not defending it.
I think he should have been sort store.
-- where who said it or I I'm not defending carried on that but I got to get I think Mitt Romney has created his own problem here.
But by not coming forward be forthcoming you know they love to talk they let -- knock Obama the right does about lack of transparency.
Mitt Romney has none.
Yeah I don't think anybody deserve the attack that.
Harry Reid leveled against Romney though I mean whether and I -- -- how we feel about releasing tax returns this was completely over the top and this is the senate majority leader totally.
Unbecoming but not unusual for me ask anybody who's ever dealt.
With Harry Reid and I don't picket -- -- the issue's gonna come back up again we'll -- -- answers that the next -- Tucker thank you Allan thanks thank you well thanks.

The situation looked grim for Texas legal aid groups. In 2009, the take from Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts had plummeted due to record-low interest rates. Public interest law groups faced massive budget cuts. "That funding is going to be very tough to come by in the next legislative session," says David Hall (pictured), executive director of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, the largest provider in the state.

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Could this be the beginning of the end for Reality TV's Worst Family ?
Kris Jenner's talk show has now officially been cancelled, thank Jesus… even after an attempt to boost ratings levels by having Kanye West show up and discuss his life with Kim Kardashian and baby North West.
He also even debuted North's first photos on the show as opposed to receiving Millions of Dollars from a Publication. They then gave the photos out to All Media with the copyright "KrisJennerShow"… Still not enough !!
Considering that the show has now been cancelled, they should've opted for the Millions.
I guess not everything Kanye touches turns to Platinum.
And all that with recent headlines of Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian's marriage on the rocks… Because Lamar might be smoking the Crack Rocks…
Could this mean the beginning of the end ?
I certainly Hope so… Come on, they'll still have their money.. and hopefully America can gain back its decency

The entire Kardashian Klan was spotted at Hollywood Forever Cemetery yesterday afternoon, and according to sources, they were looking for a family burial plot. Talk about Super Creepy !!
I mean, what is this family planning, a mass family suicide ? Actually, I'm sure a lot of you in the public feel this would be too good to be true. One thing I do know, burial plots are just like any other land, it's a limited resource. And sadly, even burial plots have increased in price over recent decades, so I guess they're trying to save some of those hard earned millions. Odd that they would also do this on the 3rd anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson.
yeah, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Rob and Bruce and Kris Jenner all came for the family gathering, picking the perfect spot where they will rest in peace. Sadly, they won't be joining Rob Kardashian Sr., who's been laid to rest St. Elsewhere. Where's Lamar Odom gonna go ??
Scary shizz homey.
By the way, from what I've been told, the actual pics of the family shopping for their burial plot was a set up photo shoot with the photo agency X17online.com, so for those who always wondered if Kim sets up pics with paparazzi, there's your answer.

The entire Kardashian Klan Kame out to celebrate Lamar Odom's Birthday in Hollywood last night at El Floridita… I don't know about you, but "El Floridita" sounds like a really bad, cheap toothpaste from outta Mexico.
It seems everyone in the super wealthy and successful reality family came out to celebrate the currently unemployed Lakers champ's B-day, including wife Khloe, Rob, Bruce and Kris (Jenner that is), along with Kourtney, Scott Disick and Baby Mason.
Even Mark Ballas came out, who has become somewhat of a Kardashian transplant thanks to his long running stint on DWTS which has now included sharing the stage with both Rob Kardashian in this current season, as well as with sister Kim Kardashian, when she was paired up with Mark back in 2008 during her short DWTS run. Mark felt so family oriented with the Kardashians, that he even brought his mother with him, Shirley Annette. I ran into Mark not long ago and he said that his Mom is one of his Lucky Charms, even tattooing her name across his arm. True to his form, his mom was on his arm tonight in more ways than one.
All Kardashian family members who went to this Bday bash also viewed last night's Dancing With The Stars filming in their studio audience. But of course, notably absent during all of these family events was Kim "The Konfused Wife" Kardashian, who has chosen to recluse herself after this entire Divorce Fiasco erupted in the Hollywood Industry on Halloween, when Kim filed for divorce from Kris Humphries.
Kim was last spotted returning to Los Angeles after a trip to Minnesota this weekend, attempting to repair her public image marriage with Kris Humphries.

Hilton Sisters… Kardashian Sisters… Simpson Sisters… Middleton Sisters…
They are all shuddering in Fear.
Cause Petra AndTamaraEcclestone are ready to take over Hollywood and pretty much the Entire World. And guess what, they probably can.
And why wouldn't anybody want to create a Reality Show based around These sisters, and show us what a True Hollywood Billionaire Lifestyle can be. Don't get me wrong. I do understand, it's all Daddy's money anyway. But Eff it. Hollywood doesn't produce many Billionaires. To watch the Ecclestone Sisters Globe Trotting around the world, Formula 1 Style, is something that I think anybody would tune in for.
And Daaamn They Fine !! Petra and Tamara are starting to get seen at various Hotzpotz, like Boa and Robertson Boulevard, letting their presence be known in all their BillionHeiress Splendor.
As a matter of fact, when the Hilton sisters attended Petra's wedding in Italy with the Black Eyed Peas and many others, I'm pretty sure they were saying to themselves "I feel really, really poor right now"
Yes "other" sisters. Your Reality Sets can all be swallowed up with Ecclestone Pocket Change. Be Afraid. Be Very, Very Afraid.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humprhies just announced their Engagement. Kim, age 30, and Kris, age 26, have been dating since December, and had recently spoken about how she planned on moving to New York City in order to be closer to Kris. She has told many close friends that this relationship was it for her.
Kim had also spoken out on an episode of "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami" earlier this year that she had envisioned herself already with one child and one on the way by age 30.
Looks like Kris and Kim will be a little busy… Gettin busy.

Actually, it was my flash… not her flashing.
And it wasn't really HER Kooter/Cooter/LadyBits … But it was the nether regions, of not exactly Kim Kardashian, but the little Bus Stop advertisement for Midori she posed next to on Sunset Blvd.
But regardless, I couldn't resist.

Kim Kardashian was out doing what members of her family do best last night.. And that's pimpin out their drugs of choice.
Not forrealz, but hey, Alcohol and QuikTrim are definitely consdiered drugs, they're just legal.
But Kim was looking mighty fine last night as she was promoting Midori out at Trousdale in Beverly Hills… Trousdale gets all the Celebrity Liquor action these days don't they?
Kim told us she likes her Midor with either 7Up or Sweet & Sour Juice. I wonder if she really did, or if they just paid her $10 Million Dollars to say that.

Wow… this is just downright sad.
So ya know, anybody who has a blog site can get their statistics measured in many different ways. One of those ways, is how people found your blog site after searching you out on search engines, such as Google, Yahoo or Bing.
And these two common themes keep popping up on how people are finding my site, which of course has only been up for about 5 weeks now.
So to the mother's of the Kardashian Klan and Audrina Patridge…
Please clean up your act. Sad to say, you may be on TV and all, but this is what the public really thinks of you.
These search terms, or terms like it keep coming up. They literally stare me down in the face each and every day.
And sadly, the terms "Lynn Patridge Alcoholic" keeps climbing, and not a day goes by where I don't see it.
Ladies, you're embarassing your daughters.

Khloe Kardashian has broken her silence and finally become vocal about how fed up she is with the whole world commenting on her weight. She has recently made statements that the unrealistic images desired by Hollywood and its Industry make it difficult for her to have a healthy perspective on herself.
"I always get comments on my weight, People (probably her momma) want me to be a certain size. I am a size six, and in the normal world, that is not fat—but to Hollywood, sometimes being a six is way too big. But when the world literally gets on you every single day and tells you, 'You're fat, you're fat, you're fat,' eventually you are going to break and agree."
But what stands out most are Khloe's statements regarding her Mother, Kris Jenner's pressure to succeed, especially as it is directly correlated with the success of one of their endorsement brands, QuickTrim.
"The reason why I blew up was because my mom told me that I am too fat and that I am ruining what we all worked for. We have a brand, QuickTrim and this and that—and that I am ruining all of the that single-handedly. To have that pressure and to have someone tell you that, I snap and I break down and I cry.
"My weight has been a struggle for me my entire life, and I know it will always be a struggle for me, but I try to be healthy, diet and exercise as best as I could. Everyone falls off every now and then, but I am trying to live a healthy life and do what is best for me."
While I've joked around about Kris Jenner pimping out her kids, it is clear now that the driving force behind the Kardashian family powerhouse has begun to go overboard. Truth be told, the family made $65 Million Dollars last year. How much do you think they made before that? Maybe $30 Million? What about the year before that? Maybe $15 Million?
So conceivably, the family has netted, Oh, I would say about $100 Million over the course of the last 3 years. That's a huge amount of money, in a very short amount of time.
If Khloe wants to sit on her non-skinny ass a little longer, she might as well. I can see how it would be a problem with QuickTrim. Either the pills work, and Khloe's not taking them, or the pills don't work. And it doesn't help that her older but smaller sister is Kim Kardashian. Well, in the end, we know none of the Kardashian sisters are taking QuikTrim, and it's all about the loot.. (that's L$$T in the eyes of the greedy).
And in the end, it's looking like Khloe really has the last laugh. Because when everybody was trying to hook Khloe up with a date, and couldn't, she still managed to somehow nab herself an NBA Champion faster than Kim and Kourtney can maintain a steady, normal-minded boyfriend.
Props Khloe. Tell your moms to 'SHUTYERTRAP"… OR "SHUTHOLE"

Updated Commentary: Not to say that this would be a guaranteed instance to occur.. but let's say perhaps one day we find the long term effects of QuickTrim is something like a Hydroxycut, where people realize the formulas in these diet pills / weight burners may have harmful health risks. Not to say this may happen, but it definitely can when you're dealing with any type of pill of this nature.
Should that happen, maybe Kris would realize her folly in losing her daughter's relationship, even though she was the only one to keep you from being attached to a brand that you are disappointed in. Sorta like a prepaid MasterCard, only lives could be lost.
Rule to all: Never let business come in between family. We all will eventually have to pass on from this world, and when that time happens, you'll wish you never let the business tear you apart from the only real thing you had, and that was the lives and hearts of your loved ones

In December 2008, Ph.D. student Joe Costanzo presented a paper at a conference on immigration research in College Park, MD. The conference was sponsored by the Maryland Population Research Center at the University of Maryland. Costanzo's paper, "Planning to Integrate: Immigrant Participation in Urban Projects," added an urban planning perspective to the conference, which also featured voices from anthropology, sociology, public health and education. An abstract is featured below.
Joe Costanzo, Urban Studies and Planning
The Mutual Benefits of "Deep, Rich" and "Hard, Generalizable:"
A Mixed-Method Strategy in Social Science Research
In simple terms, throughout most of the 20th Century, social science inquiry as divided between two camps. Separately, quantitatively and qualitatively-oriented researchers praised (and relied mostly upon) their own strategies. By the 1990s new approaches were gaining ground—mixed-method strategies to social science research—where there was no longer a "need to choose between qualitative and quantitative data" (Bernard, 2006).
Playing to the strengths of multiple techniques, data sources, and disciplinary frameworks, mixed methods invite researchers to look more broadly at the human condition. With a willingness and ability to pull from several approaches within the same research project, researchers are now better equipped to understand, explain, and evaluate human attitudes and behaviors. A common axiom within the social sciences is to use methods that match the needs of the research. Today, where public funding for social science research is increasing limited, outcomes are evermore important. In such a research climate, being able to successfully integrate quantitative and qualitative strategies provides researchers with additional techniques and tools to demonstrate the relevance of their work (and findings) to a more critical audience. Perhaps this "third methodological movement" reflects a contemporary and permanent shift in social scientific" thought away from distinctions between purely formal and informal lines of inquiry.
The presentation detailed Costanzo's preliminary research into how and why mixed-method research approach optimizes available information to answer some pressing questions.

Wigan eased their way in to the Fifth Round of The FA Cup with a win at Huddersfield.
An Arouna Kone brace, along with strikes from the impressive Callum McManaman and James McArthur, earned Wigan the win with Lee Novak heading in a consolation goal for the home side.
Roberto Martinez took his side away for some warm weather training in Tenerife in the build up to the tie and it paid off with a comfortable victory over their Championship opposition.
McManaman evaded his marker and delivered a decent cross, but Jordi Gomez could only head on to the roof of the net after six minutes.
Wigan continued to dominate possession while Huddersfield seemed happy to sit back and allow them to play the ball around.
But it was the home side that registered the next effort when Alan Lee headed over after a clever Calum Woods cross.
The Latics finally got the goal they deserved on the half hour mark. McManaman weaved his way down the left before pinging a shot into the top corner.
And with five minutes of the first half left Wigan deservedly doubled their lead. McManaman meandered in from that left and pulled the ball back to Gomez whose shot forced Alex Smithies to make a great save.
But Kone reacted quickest in the Huddersfield penalty box and stabbed the ball home for his side's second.
After the break Huddersfield rang the changes. James Vaughan was introduced and the striker almost reduced the deficit. Ronnie Stam was dispossessed and Joel Robles had to save Vaughan's effort that followed.
On 51 minutes Wigan were back on the scoresheet with a fine team goal, finished off by McArthur. The midfielder played a one-two with Gomez before smashing home.
Huddersfield pulled one back to give their supporters a brief moment of relief from the Wigan onslaught as substitute Novak headed home another Woods cross.
But Wigan were not finished and late on Kone, back from the African Cup of Nations in scintillating form, fired in his second of the day after capitalising on a defensive error in the Huddersfield backline.
Huddersfield Town
Smithies, Hunt, Gerrard, Peter Clarke, Woods, Danns, Atkinson (Vaughan 46), Clayton, Scannell (Norwood 65), Lee (Novak 46), Arfield.

Joliet plans for ownership of Evergreen Terrace
By Bob Okon email@example.com November 5, 2012 10:48PM
While a court battle continues, the Joliet City Council on Monday hired a firm to oversee the rehabilitation of the Evergreen Terrace in the 300 block of North Broadway should the city gain control of the housing complex. | file photo
Updated: December 13, 2012 6:05AM
JOLIET — The city still is at least a couple of months away from knowing whether it will get ownership of Evergreen Terrace, but now it has a consultant to help plan how to run the housing complex.
The city council last week agreed to hire Holsten Chicago, a company that also will manage and redevelop Evergreen Terrace if it becomes the property of the city.
Joliet is fighting in federal court to acquire the site, not only with the owners of Evergreen Terrace but also the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which subsidizes the 356-apartment complex to provide low-income housing.
"The courts are looking to see if we are prepared, if this if for real, if we are going to do the right thing," Councilman Don Fisher said in discussion that preceded a unanimous vote to hire Holsten. "This is a bold step and an answer to that question."
Holsten was the developer in a project that converted part of the Cabrini-Green public housing complex in Chicago to townhomes and condominiums, some of which are occupied by former Cabrini-Green residents.
Company founder Peter Holsten told the council that his company provides services to low-income residents, including employment counseling, in addition to housing.
"Our primary mission is to help stabilize communities and work with people of various incomes to help them improve their own lives," Holsten said.
Joliet is arguing in court that the owners of Evergreen Terrace have allowed the property to deteriorate and failed to provide safe living conditions. The city also contends the complex on Broadway Street has too many apartments in too little space and should be redeveloped.
Evergreen Terrace's owners and HUD contend that the city's attempt to take over Evergreen Terrace violates the federal fair housing law.
Councilman Robert O'Dekirk questioned how much the redevelopment project would cost the city, particularly if Joliet remains the owner for the next 20 to 30 years.
City Attorney Jeff Plyman said Evergreen Terrace can be acquired through financing that would be repaid with the revenue generated by the subsidized apartment rents.
"We're not looking to obligate the general Joliet taxpayer to any part of this," Plyman said.
He said the federal trial in Chicago likely is to last into January. Whatever the decision on the property, it could be appealed — meaning there still could be several months or more than a year of legal wrangling in the condemnation case that started in 2005.
Without an appeal, a trial on what price the city should pay the owners for the complex could be held in the spring, Plyman said.
In the meantime, Holsten Chicago will get $50,000 in a contract paid in monthly installments. If the city loses its case, Plyman said, the contract can be stopped at that point.

As we've just had Social Media Week, I've been thinking about the unnatural relationship between the commercial considerations of brands and the social motivations of their customers.
If we admit it's ludicrous to create a formula for making friends in the real world, then it's also difficult to preach to brands on a definitive way to engage fans online. That's because social media to a lot of people is considered respite from advertising.
The only way to advertise is to make sure your content is engaging enough to be considered not content. If you can do that, your adverts will be shared, my son.
With 100 hours of content uploaded to YouTube every minute, your brand has to understand the alchemy of boredom. Thankfully, Unruly Media has been taking steps to bring some sanity to sharing.

Don't look now but Google+ may not be dead on arrival after all.
Quietly, it has attracted some 150m active monthly users and Google's social network scored higher than Facebook in the annual American Customer Satisfaction Index E-Business Report.
On the brand side of things, Google continues to push forward in trying to build an attractive ecosystem. The latest example of that: a new set of Page Management APIs are coming soon.

So, Pinterest is still the buzzword of the industry and something that looks like it might stick around a little while longer.
It's also something that Econsultancy's explored from various different angles, but we've not actually gone into too much detail about the companies using it.
There's a handful of extremely comprehensive lists floating around the web, but I thought it might be interesting to see if a full A-Z list of brands and organisations could be compiled.
Surprisingly, it turns out you (almost) can, which is quite something, considering for how little time the platform has been around...

Marketers and content makers have been conditioned over time to believe that online video needs to be short and punchy.
This is based on the presumption that people have limited attention spans, and therefore longer-form content would be wasted - particularly on the multi-tasking Gen Y consumer.
But is duration really a key factor of successful adoption? And how about social sharing? Is the length of a branded video likely to affect people's willingness to share it?
In the space of 1,000 or more words, I can't promise to deal with all the answers, but hopefully you'll agree these questions merit further consideration before setting your content or advertising strategy.

Twitter may not have as many users as Facebook, but when it comes to social sharing, it is arguably the king for many publishers.
And for good reason: Twitter's structure makes it the perfect platform for sharing links.
But are publishers using Twitter to drive traffic to their websites underestimating just how much traffic the social media hub is generating? According to social analytics provider awe.sm, the answer to that question is 'yes!'.

Just how big a part of the link economy is content sharing? According to a study which looked at behavior across some 300m who share content monthly using the ShareThis button, sharing now accounts for approximately 10% of all traffic on the internet.
And when it comes to the source of this sharing, one site stands out above all others: Facebook.

Few search experts doubt that social media will have some impact on the SERPs in the future, but up until now, it hasn't been very clear that search engines like Google and Bing quite know the best way to integrate social content and signals into their algorithms and UIs.
But if several changes spotted in the wild on Google News results are any indication, they're increasing their rates of experimentation.

Back when social media first burst into the mainstream in a big way and popular Web 2.0 services like Digg and Flickr were the subject of articles touting phrases such as "the wisdom of crowds" and buzzwords like "democratization," it might have seemed that the web was truly changing the fundamental dynamics of information distribution.
But a new CNN study hints that some of the hype around this notion has been overblown.
by Patricio Robles 08 October 2010 12:52pm 3 comments
Digg may have been a Web 2.0 pioneer, but out of all the mature startups loosely grouped into the 'social media' category, it's one of the companies some might argue is well past its prime. While other upstarts born around mid-decade, such as Facebook and Twitter, continue to rise, Digg seems to be treading water.
That, of course, is not to say that Digg isn't very popular. It is. And that's not to say that it can't do wonderful things for publishers who hit the front page. It can.
But for both consumers and publishers alike, the Facebook and Twitters of the world have largely become more important when it comes to sharing and discovering interesting content on the web.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Michele O'Sullivan
"Yummy and delicious. These extraordinary waffles are flavored with molasses and spices. Topped with homemade chocolate sauce, they are perfect for a special breakfast treat."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup light molasses
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups boiling water
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
I have made this on several occasions -- but serve it with Nutmeg Sauce. They are awesome! I even had to make some so my sister could share with co-workers cause she raved about them so much! 1/2 c white sugar 1 c boiling water 1 1/2 Tbsp flour 1 1/2 Tbsp butter salt 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg combine all dry ingredients in saucepan. Add boiling water stirring constantly. cook over low heat till thick and smooth. remove from heat, add butter and vanilla. (I find I need to at least double this recipe!)
A nice change from the ordinary, however the gingerbread texture tends to make these waffles not as light as waffles usually are.

The kids loved this when we served it as one of the dishes at our Christmas Eve brunch. It had to be the all time hit for the kids. I thinned the batter some though and it seemed to work well.
I never would have put this combination together on my own, but, wow, it's fabulous! The chocolate sauce could have had something to make it deeper or richer perhaps--like milk, instead of water. But, these are wonderful and very festive!
Made this for Valentines Day as I had some spare time. The chocolate sauce is divine, and the waffles are quite nice. Just about any waffle will get hard if you leave it sit long (these ones were no exception), but these are fluffy when fresh. Perhaps not quite worth the effort, but my family guessed what the flavour was, so they do taste like Gingerbread. Note that the batter looks very heavy, but it rises a lot when cooking. I only got 5 waffles out of it; in future I will halve the chocolate sauce recipe, as it made too much even though everyone used it By the way, I used "normal" molasses, and it was fine (what is "Light" molasses?).
I did not care for this--terribly dry and heavy with almost no taste to them. They fell apart as I tried to take them out of my waffle machine. My husband and I tasted a bite of the crumblies and there was absolutely nothing to redeem them. Thanks for letting me try.
Was not what I expected or was hoping for. Very thick and heavy...nothing light and fluffy. Would not make.
Good. Not great, but good. They are quite sweet, but that's not really a complaint from my family. I used a belgium waffle maker and they turned out very light and spongy, but like another reviewer said, they were hard to get out of the waffle iron. With lifting the lid, they tore right apart into sections, but that wasn't really a problem. I'm sure I'll make these again and I will probably cut down on the chocolate sauce as it definitely made a lot. But a nice, different waffle recipe!

After hearing him power the groups behind Latin pop-rock superstar Carlos Santana, Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Spanish pop singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz, it's hard to imagine Cuban drummer Horacio "El Negro" Hernández doing anything quietly. And yet, two years ago, he discreetly settled in South Florida.
On Saturday, Hernández will celebrate a homecoming of sorts when he appears with his European-based band, Italuba, in its U.S. debut at the North Shore Bandshell in Miami Beach as part of Global Cuba Fest.
"I am very, very excited and so happy about it," Hernández said in an interview at his place on the Beach. "Italuba is a band born by the grace of the gods of music. Even the name [a punny nod to Italy and Cuba] dropped out from the sky. … Our first record [in 2004] got a lot of exposure and interest, and we spent three years on the road in Europe. We did more than 200 concerts. But because [the members of Italuba] are all Cubans, it was very hard to bring them into the United States. So we are doubly excited because we are finally playing in the States and it's in Miami Beach, my new home."
One of the most in-demand drummers in pop, rock and Latin jazz, Hernández, 49, was born in Havana. His grandfather was a professional trumpeter in his youth, and his father "was the biggest jazz lover I've ever met," he says. "It was his passion. He hosted a radio show for almost 30 years. It was the best channel Cuban musicians had to connect with jazz.
"My grandfather was totally into traditional Cuban music, which for me growing up was the music of old people. My father's music was the music of crazy people," he recalls with a chuckle. "I mean, Coltrane? When you are a little kid that's hard to assimilate. And then there was my brother, who's older than me, listening to The Beatles and the Stones. I grew up listing to Art Blakey, Buddy Rich, Philly Joe Jones and Ringo Starr — and that's how I got into music and into drumming."
Hernández graduated from the National School of the Arts, and did his own post-graduate studies as a drummer in the recording studios of EGREM, Cuba's national company.
During the day, there were sessions for "the regular records, the pop singers, and late at night they let us make our records." That, he says, is how major Cuban jazz figures such as Rubalcaba and trumpeter Arturo Sandoval recorded their first albums.
"And I was there all day, recording," he says. "There was a mattress to crash on so I would sleep a couple of hours after the day sessions, get up and record jazz at night. It was a great experience. There is no better school for a musician than to learn to work in the studio."
Close your eyes when Hernández is in full flight, and you think you are hearing a percussion section playing layers of grooves, accents and time signatures, both driving and framing the music.
He seamlessly blends jazz drumming and Afro-Cuban percussion techniques.
"The drum set is a North American instrument born in the late '20s, early '30s, and by then in Cuba we had 15 or more percussion instruments: congas, bongos, timbales, chekere, guiro, you name it," he says. "So our very first drummers, the way they approached this new instrument, was bringing the various percussion instruments into the sound of the drum set.

This was really good! I didn't use the stuffing on top as my husband can't digest it properly. I did make some quick cornbread and after the casserole cooked, I crumbled the cornbread on top and put it back in the oven until it got crunchy. I also put some monterey jack and colby cheese on it under the cornbread. It was yummy.
A hit with my family. Loved the crunchy vegetables. I think next time I will only use 1/2 cup butter.
The wonderful smell of the baking casserole filled the whole house and we were not let down by the taste when we sat down to eat. This dish is a wonderful addition to our monthly selection of favorites!
We love this dish and have had it several times. I really like that the vegetables are still crunchy when it is done.

BUTTE-The uptown area could have fewer vacant store fronts in the coming months.
"It's just one approach of many and we're going to see how well we can make it work in Butte," says Mainstreet Uptown Butte Inc. Executive Director George Everett.
Mainstreet Uptown Butte Incorporated wants to provide local entrepreneurs a business space.
The group is in the beginning stages of a project called Pop UP.
Several communities across the country like Oakland, California and the United Kingdom have followed this project.
"We're hoping that people who might be sitting on the fence will kind of take the plunge and come join us in the Uptown as a viable business," adds Everett.
Local businesses will be asked where they would like to be located.
Then uptown property owners with vacant store fronts will be contacted to see about moving those businesses in.
Mainstreet Uptown Butte would pay the businesses rent for the first 4 months.
Then hopefully by Fall the businesses would have their feet on the ground and take over rent.
Mainstreet Uptown Butte will have businesses selected to fill empty store fronts by May and hopefully have them moved in by July, just in time for the busy festival and tourist season in Butte.
Everett says, "We hope that they will then decide to continue through the holiday season and then by that time they're established and they can continue on in 2014."
Mainstreet Uptown Butte is currently creating applications for businesses that could potentially fill empty store fronts.
There are currently 12 vacant store fronts in the uptown area.

Patriots fan clamoring for the team to start adding defensive players, this one is for you: New England has a four-year deal in principle with Kyle Arrington in place. The cornerback wanted to stay with the Patriots, and the team had expressed a desire early on to keep the 26-year old in the fold. Arrington played all 16 games last season, and was moved to the slot when New England acquired Aqib Talib; he seemed to flourish in the new role. This is quite a week for the Maryland native: in addition to the new contract, Arrington and his wife VaShonda are set to welcome their first child any day now. Their first wedding anniversary is on Sunday. An undrafted rookie out of Hofstra in 2008, Arrington was initially signed by the Eagles and was on their practice squad out of training camp that season, but he was released little more than a week later.
Patriots, Kyle Arrington agree to four-year deal

Picking the Bay League girls soccer favorite is kind of like playing hot potato.
Teams are anxious to pass off that title as quickly as possible, not wanting to get burned by weighty expectations.
"We're deep and everyone's back, but I'm not saying we're the favorite," Mira Costa coach Patty Perkinson said.
Peninsula coach Scotte Massey said he sees a wide-open Bay League race and points to the potential of an All-Bay League semifinals at Saturday's South Torrance Tournament.
And despite his team's breakthrough league title last season, Massey is backing off any bold predictions other than it should be a competitive season.
"The Bay League is going to be extremely tough. There's not one team that is going to run away with it," Massey said.
Mira Costa has the loftiest preseason ranking of the Bay League teams and currently holds the No. 4 position in the CIF Southern Section Division II rankings.
The Mustangs are loaded with talent.
Junior forward Kimby Keever is drawing interest from the University of Washington and is one of the South Bay's most dynamic playmakers. Keever has been out with a knee injury since the start of the season but is expected back today against South Torrance or Saturday for the South Torrance Tournament.
Junior midfielder Mandy McKeegan is drawing interest from UC Davis. She is a special talent who has a good chemistry with Keever.
Senior midfielder Melina Cohen returns and is a force in the center. Her season-ending injury last season seemed to have a major effect on Mira Costa in the home stretch.
Senior forward Jojo Mahoney also is a big-time scoring threat with a nice touch.
Sophomore goalkeeper Nonie Frischette established herself as one of the South Bay's top goalkeepers last season.
Junior midfielder Sarah Chamberlain, senior midfielder Kirby Benson and senior defender Cara Enamoto all will play major roles for the Mustangs.
Mira Costa welcomes two impact freshmen: midfielder Hannah Watkins and defender Caroline Keever, who Perkinson calls her "Lil Keever." Sophomore forward Megan Carver also is a top young player.
Perkinson said she is expecting big things from junior halfback Savannah Sartini, senior Alyssa Allojo, senior Taylor Foland and junior Mattie Makeda.
Mira Costa is aiming for its first league title in three years and has the personnel to make a run.
"Our chemistry is good, and all the girls are gelling together," Perkinson said. "We're going to have some real good competition in the Bay League. But I'm real excited for the season. I hope the girls step up."
Peninsula was hit hard by graduation. Bay League co-MVP's Anne and Sarah Moody are at Brown, and the league's Defensive Player of the Year, Rachelle Chavez, is at Cal State Dominguez Hills.
The Panthers still have plenty of talent and are hopeful about building on their first league title since 2002.
Junior defender Isabel Damiani, sophomore forward Tori Buda and junior defender Michelle Duarte are returning all-league players who will carry much of the load for Peninsula.
Senior Sayaka Suganuma is a returning midfielder who is the lone captain for the team and will be an important leader.
Peninsula also benefits from the addition of freshman forward Katie Pingel, a talented Olympic development player who has instant credibility.
"She's a really nice freshman player. You're probably going to hear her name a lot," said Massey, who also will look to two key returners on defense in sophomore fullback Nicole Phillips and junior defender Gina Heller.
Massey got creative with his goalkeeper position. In addition to sophomore goalkeeper Vanessa Pena, Massey recruited volleyball standout Nicole Kerkhof, who is quickly learning the position. Massey said he expects to split his goalkeepers, for now.
"We're going to make a goalkeeper out of her," Massey said.
As for the Bay League race, Massey said it will depend on how quickly Peninsula comes together.
"We're still trying to figure out who we are, but we definitely have some talent. We just have to put it together," Massey said. "It's going to come down to who stays the healthiest."
Also in the Bay League ...
Palos Verdes: The Sea Kings appear to be on the verge of a breakthrough season after a transition year full of growing pains. Palos Verdes is ranked No. 10 in Division II.
Sophomore midfielder Nikki Rosen, the younger sister of former star Haley Rosen, is maturing into a top player. Sophomore midfielder Vanessa Henderson is a top returner who provides strength in the middle. Junior center midfielder Niki Wilkinson is rock solid at midfield, and sophomore Jess Frost caps off a potent midfield quartet.
Coach Sean Lockhart also has a strong back line that includes Lily Califano, senior Sydney Castillo and senior center back Adriana Frederiksen. Senior forward Kristen Cotter, sophomore forward Claire Stromme and senior forward Eleni Eleftheriou will be a player to watch.
Palos Verdes could get a boost from Caitlyn Esposito when she is expected to return from a knee injury in January.
Redondo: The Sea Hawks must replace a ton of firepower in 2011 Daily Breeze Player of the Year Samantha Witteman, who's now at Cal. But coach Shelly Marsden said Redondo still is loaded with talent and will be a league title contender.
Junior midfielder Shannon Simon is one of the South Bay's brightest stars and is a playmaker who can elevate a team. Senior defender Erin Guernsey, senior defender Tonya Gonzalez and senior forward Megan Perkins are serving as captains along with Simon.
Junior Karina Cohen has valuable experience for Redondo and will be a steady player. Senior forward Randie Vlahakis gives Redondo height up front and is a candidate to score on headers. Senior midfielder Montana Martinez and senior Tana Granados also are top returners.
West Torrance: Keep an eye on the Warriors. Senior defender Stephanie Morgan is a top returner who was an all-league selection last year. Senior forward Chidera Akubuilo is a major scoring threat who will look to pick up the slack from the graduation of Ashley Kawasaki (UC Davis).
Senior goalkeeper Amanda Orenlas is a four-year starter who will be a stalwart for the Warriors. Junior midfielder Lauren Kai, junior midfielder Jessica Vincent and junior defender Karlee Neer also will be key players for coach Jim San-Martin.

Lowest end card of the current Radeon HD6xxx series
Compares in price to Nvidia HD520.
Overall better performing than HD520.
Blu-Ray performance better than HD520.
Power consumption idle=9w, Peak=15~18w. HD520 consumes double the power.
Fanless hence completely silent
Flawless 1080p performance (after proper video drivers and xcode drivers installed. Also needs .net 2.0 framework).
HDMI also outputs DTS-HD audio. (Once properly configured)
The above pointers are a combo of my observation & what i have read in online reviews & forums
My HTPC Config-
1. AMD Athlon 3000
2. 1gb DDR400 ram
3. The above card
Plays 1080p flawlessly
Havent tested for games (but it never was designed for playing games)
Buy it Now!
Card is cheap and giving average perf
Can play - NfsRun, NFSMW2012, Prototype 2 (15-20FPS), GTA4 (Laggy 15-25FPS, NO shadows) , FC2, DMC4 ,DMC5(ultra High-20fps , 25fps), Assassins Creed, Mafia 2 , and many more
All on High Tex and resolution
No fan , so while game its heated upto 70 - 90 deg, which is very bad for life of GPU
some of buyers said that its good to not have fan coz of less noise
But i suggest to buy a Cool Master Fan and place below the GC, Temp never rises above 45degs
This graphics overclocking is not good gives problems , so dont try it (restarts the drivers suddenly)
I would like to suggest to go for 1GB GC with more CUDA Cores and Higher GPU MHZ if u want much better game performance
Games only use about 500- 800MB of Graphics, Even the recently released games
For me this GC works fine , and Flipkart Delivery was fast recieved in 2Days.
Core2Duo E7500 @2.93 GHz
5.1Sound Blaster
Windows 8 32Bit
And this GC
As my first graphic card and as i am upgrading from integrated graphics, I am overwhelmed. Games like nfs shift, cod 4, avatar, fifa11+ wouldnt even start on my pc, but now the start and i get playable frame rates at medium settings with antialiasng enabled(smooth graphics). Games like dirt 2 run on medium to high settings without any lag whatsoever. Since this model is fanless, it was my best option as its power consumption is low, as i have a 250W iball psu that came with my iball case. I have 2 gb ram and intel E5400 2.7 ghz cpu. nit much, but the games still run great thanks to this graphic card.
i am using this card since 2-3 months .. i have played codmw2, mw3 , assassins creed brotherhood(ultra high setting 1600x960 and i get 40-50 fps ) ,nfs hot pursuit ,max payne 3 , street fighter X Tekken all in ultra high setting with an average FPS of 25-30 whcih is a good playable framerate at a low budget GPU
if u have 2.5 to spent then go for it no doubts go for it ..for more better performance us Gamebooster and MSI Burner to overclock it
don't look at SHIT cards like Nvidia GT520 , GT 210 , Radeon HD 5450 they are holy crap personal friends experience
my config
Pentium Dual Core CPU E2180 @ 2.00 Ghz
2 gb DDR2 RAM
win7 32bit
Its been about a year I purchased this card. I have played NFSMW, Deus Ex HR, Far Cry 3, GTA IV and some other games on this card. All the games run at 15 to 24 fps (lowest settings) which is a little laggy.
Will allow you to play recent games (but at low fps)
Decent value for money
Silent since no fan
Will not cool fast since there is no fan and heat is bad for its life
Additional 1GB never gets used
If you are going to purchase this card then buy the 1GB variant. This 2GB variant is simply a marketing gimmick. Games use maximum up to 900MB of GDDR RAM.
If you like me and want to play games which would run at least at a decent 30fps and can put in a little more money then look into Radeon HD 6570.
Below is my build,
Purchased from Flipkart:
Gigabyte GA-G41MT-S2 Motherboard
Transcend DDR3-1333 DDR3 4 GB PC RAM (JM1333KLN-4G)
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6450 2 GB DDR3 Graphics Card
Asus DRW-24B5ST Internal Optical Drive
Cooler Master XtraFlo Cooler (Case Front)

Donor-Advised Funds Received More Than $9.6 Billion in 2012
The popularity of donor-advised funds as a vehicle for charitable giving continued to grow in 2011, with total assets under management by DAFs up 17.5 percent on a year-over-year basis, a report from the National Philanthropic Trust finds.
According to NPT's 2012 Donor-Advised Fund Report (20 pages, PDF), an annual compilation and analysis of data from 652 charitable organizations that administer DAFs, total assets managed by such funds increased to $37.43 billion in 2011, well above the pre-recession high of $30.59 billion in 2007, while contributions increased 10.6 percent, to $9.64 billion; that represents more than 3 percent of all charitable giving in the United States. The report also found that total grantmaking by DAFs increased 13.6 percent, to $7.7 billion, and that the number of DAFs rose 4.2 percent, to 177,357 — the first time that figure has increased by more than 2 percent since 2008.
"This year's report shows a promising future for the growth of donor-advised funds with their increasing popularity and impact on domestic and international philanthropy," said NPT president and CEO Eileen Heisman. "Going forward, we predict an increase in illiquid asset contributions such as real estate and stocks, a popular way to provide mission-critical funding of charities. Charities and donors with donor-advised funds must continue to build important relationships to keep the nonprofit sector vibrant."


text: I was perusing some of my old facebook photos the other day, and I found these photos from a trip to Bali I took over a year ago. My favorite part of the bali trip by far was the scuba diving. I hadn't been before, but Gigi, one of the girls in our group, is a certified scuba diver, and she set up the activity for us. The place we went diving, Tulamben, had a WWII submarine which coral and other sea life had taken over. The pictures honestly don't do the dive site justice. I love aquariums and tropical fish, and seeing so many varieties of fish up close was just an incredible experience. I would say that it felt like being in an aquarium, but that seems sort of backwards.

The brainchild of three wine- and beer-loving friends, The Wine Bar cultivates a refined palate with an intimate bar area serving 22 wines sourced from around the world and a menu of small, sharable plates. Tasting duos recline in cushy couches as they work through a sampling flight of wines, sniffing selections such as the Rusack '08 chardonnay and tossing glasses of Filus '09 malbec over their shoulders for good luck. A hardwood bar and tables polished to a mirror sheen cradle palate-cleansing appetizers, such as smoked salmon served with capers, sour cream, and crackers, and creamy spinach dip flanked by dunkable strips of warm pita. Tall, arched windows give a light-streaked view of the outdoor patio seating, lined with assorted greenery and bushes trimmed in the shape of yearning, while works by local artists and eclectic music include eyes and ears in the sensory cavalcade.

At each of the galleries, visitors can see and purchase works by artists prior to their big breaks, avoiding the price increases and long, boring Sotheby's auctions that coincide with fame. Current gallery selections include Rezatron's 4"x5" watercolor Siskel & Q*Bert ($50), a humorous mash-up of the famous film-critic duo and the 1982 arcade game, 2Cents' series of 16"x20" screenprints ($20) inspired by popular movie icons, such as Back to the Future's Doc, filmmaker Kevin Smith, and Willy Wonka, and Billy Perkins' tribute to Blue Velvet (as seen above).
Art Center for Kids' imaginative programs foster creativity, problem solving, and freedom of expression in young students with a number of hands-on animation, architecture, and sculpting activities. For three hours on seven consecutive Sundays, kiddies learn the intricacies of printmaking, robot creation, T-shirt design, or building toy cars to practice nascent parallel parking skills. Sessions challenge young artists to finish pieces using the same resources available to undergraduate art students while working alongside fellow students to complete more complex projects, such as a room-wide giant doodle masterpiece in the Big Draw class. Upon completion of the course, artists take home their works to hang on the fridge or in the family Louvre.
