The Black hype-train has been chugging away for a while now. Developed by Criterion, Black promised to do for First Person Shooters what Burnout did for racing games. Does it do that? Nearly. To bore you with the story would be pointless, Black is all about action and whatever tale of Special-Ops backstabbing the uniquely styled live action cutscenes are babbling on about is almost entirely irrelevant as youŌĆÖll be hammering the start button to skip to the action anyway (although the cutscenes are unskippable first time around rather annoyingly).
Smooth control is always something an FPS needs and Black really excels here. Unlike many EA games before it, Black offers the player full button customization so you can map any action you want onto any button on the pad so adjusting the game to suit something youŌĆÖre used to, the Halo style for example, means control is instinctive right from the word go. For some strange reason though, there isnŌĆÖt the option to alter the sensitivity of the sticks. While the default setting is arguably smooth and accurate enough for most people, others like those who play Halo with ŌĆś10 sensitivityŌĆÖ may struggle to adjust. ItŌĆÖs a shame that having given the player total button customization they ignored the fact that people have different preferences when it comes to look speeds.
Much of the hype around Black has been about the explosive selection of weaponry it has on offer, and in many regards it certainly lives up to the hype. The list of guns in Black reads like a compilation of Hollywood action movies. When you think of Assault Rifles the names AK-47 and M16 are on the tip of your tongue. Think Sub-Machine Guns and the words Uzi, P90 and MP5 are top of the list. ThereŌĆÖs a Magnum hand gun, a SPAS 12 shotgun and even the bullet devouring M249 makes an appearance. ThereŌĆÖs also the usual selection of Sniper Rifles, RPGŌĆÖs and Grenade Launchers on offer too, so thereŌĆÖs something to suit every situation. As seems common for FPSŌĆÖs these days, only two guns can be carried at once which, as you expect, adds a bit of thought and strategy to the game, especially when certain weapons such as shotgun and explosives allow you to access areas that are otherwise unreachable.
Each gun feels how they should do, all with their own advantages and disadvantages in various situations. Grenades pack a punch also, killing anything that it happens to land near. Interestingly, you can shoot grenades causing explosions at will which can be incredibly satisfying should you nail one in midair in between a cluster of enemies. But even weaker weapons like the pistols or the MAC 10 become useful should you happen to pick up a silencer laying around. Silence can be a great asset to have throughout Black. One predominantly memorable part of the game came in one of the later levels where you enter the ground floor of this multi-layered hall, heavily patrolled with guards on all sides. With careful selection and planning it was possible to clear almost the entire room without raising a single alarm.
But thatŌĆÖs not what Black really is. ItŌĆÖs about destruction. ItŌĆÖs about explosions. ItŌĆÖs about causing as much chaos and confusion as you possibly can. The game is predictably full to the brim with conveniently placed explosive barrels and large gas tanks perfectly nestled under what appears to be a normal looking balcony or walkway. The death animations go a long way to adding to the enjoyment to. Using a mixture of scripted animations and ragdoll physics, the way in which enemies can be killed can be hilarious. Throw a grenade and their body will fly across the room, shoot them near a wall and theyŌĆÖll hit it with force, or best of all is to take a shot at an enemy near a balcony or window and watch them tumble over the ledge, hanging on for their life before falling to their death. ItŌĆÖs when all this is going off that Black is at its best. Without wanting to sound like some hyped up developer press release, every bullet really does have a consequence in the game thanks to the real time damage the game world takes. ItŌĆÖs mostly minor things like bullet marks in a wall or dust being sprayed up from the ground, but there are times you can really use the destructive nature of the environments to your advantage.
A couple of moments stand out particularly, the first being rather reminiscent of the shower scene from the film ŌĆśThe RockŌĆÖ. Here the enemies have taken cover at the far side of the room and thanks to other enemies above they essential have control of the room as that can get you from both angles. This is where the interactive engine comes into play as you grab a shot gun and proceed to literally destroy the wall in front of you. Then the wall in front of that, and the one in front of that and so on until you reach those enemies guarding the rear of the room. Suddenly, they have nowhere to go and youŌĆÖre just meters from their position. ThereŌĆÖs also a similar moment where two enemies with bullet proof shields are guarding a narrow hallway. ThereŌĆÖs no way to take them head on so by slipping into a nearby room you can blast your way through the walls in sequence to get closer to them without risking damage.
It the moments of genius like this that you can forgive many of BlackŌĆÖs faults for. Its AI is adequate, but itŌĆÖs far from intelligent. Enemies will commendably take cover often, but at other times will stand around in the open wanting to be killed. ItŌĆÖs not consistent. Combat in general can be engaging, especially in the latter half of the game where there are a fair few intense shootouts to be had, but again itŌĆÖs inconsistent as there are maybe a few too many forgettable rooms or areas where the game didnŌĆÖt engage the player enough. The amount of bullets an enemy can take can be a little of the absurd side too at times. A headshot will always kill in one shot which is to be expected, but body shots can be nothing more than a lottery at times with it taking around 30 bullets sometimes just to put a single enemy on the floor. And on the whole the game can be a bit simple at times. The secondary objectives that litter each level are really nothing more than collecting a few red folders spread on random walls or destroying some laptops in various rooms. Combined with the use of health packs too for healing mean the game has a very deliberate old-school feel about it. Maybe itŌĆÖs wrong to criticize the game for trying to be a simple run-and-gun FPS, but the lack of depth the game has wouldnŌĆÖt be so much of a problem if it wasnŌĆÖt so short.
At 8 levels itŌĆÖs really at least 4 stages short of what it should be. While others have stated itŌĆÖs closer to 8hrs long, itŌĆÖs actually significantly less in all honesty. With each level being, on average, around 45mins long, itŌĆÖs much closer to 5-6 when you ignore the first level which takes about 15 minutes maximum to do. Length isnŌĆÖt so much of a problem for games that are constantly good and involving from start to finish, but Black has spurts of mediocrity spread throughout so suffers as a result. The complete lack of multiplayer really doesnŌĆÖt help its cause either. The lack of online/deathmatch is understandable if all they were interested in was making a single player game, but a co-op mode would have been nice at least, and would have worked well when you consider the fact you often have CPU controlled teammates with you. A few silly things also harm the game somewhat too. Checkpoints are too few and far between as you soon find out on the harder difficulty settings when youŌĆÖre having to replay 15mins of a level each time you die. You canŌĆÖt save either, so when you play Black youŌĆÖre going to have to at least do a whole level. Given the arcade-like nature of the game it seems silly that you canŌĆÖt play it in short sessions.
For all its faults, thereŌĆÖs one area of the game that constantly impresses and thatŌĆÖs the presentation. Graphically itŌĆÖs one of the best looking games on current generation consoles, and even gives a few Xbox 360 FPSŌĆÖs a run for their money in some ways. Black runs at 60 frames a second, every second. It never splutters, even with multiple enemies on screen, rocketŌĆÖs being fired all over the place and huge explosions all going on at once. This is impressive as it is, but throw in the destructible environments and the gorgeous looking particle effects the game engine pushes and youŌĆÖve got an amazing looking game. The level design is impressive too as it manages to throw 8 very different looking levels at you, but most of which retain the same brown/grey urban setting as the last. The game isnŌĆÖt afraid to open things up either with plenty of outdoor areas broken up by the usual complement of corridors and rooms. Special praise must also be directed towards the weapons themselves which are all superbly modeled and animated, especially the reloading animation with is accompanied with a neat blur effect taking your focus from the environment to current the job at hand; reloading the gun. It also has 16:9 and 480p support for those who are able to make use of them too.
Equally as impressive is the use of sound throughout Black, Rarely have guns heard this good in a game. Everything is loud and crisp with each gun sounding different from one another. The use of 5.1 sound is amazing as you hear each gunshot from your AK-47, each enemy yelling pain and each explosive barrel testing the limits of your subwoofer. Call of Duty withstanding, you wonŌĆÖt find anything that sounds as good as Black does. Music is used sparingly, but fits the game well much like the way Half-Life 2 does things. The voice acting isnŌĆÖt too bad either, especially in the pre-level cutscenes that are reasonably well acted, if entirely forgettable. In game your character does have an annoying tendency to shout over his radio at all times, killing the immersion in some of the quieter areas of the game as youŌĆÖre trying to move through a room without being heard.
Black is one of those games that makes life tough for a reviewer. How do you rate a game thatŌĆÖs immensely enjoyable, but flawed in a few vital areas? For all the enjoyment the chaos and destruction brings, itŌĆÖs hard to ignore its short length, lack of multiplayer and inconsistent AI. Black has all the components of a great FPS ŌĆō the guns are a joy to use, the control is wonderfully smooth and the level design remains interesting throughout, but it somehow falls short of greatness. The core gameplay is an adrenaline rush from start to finish thanks to the fast paced combat and set pieces, but its old-school, arcade style design mean thereŌĆÖs little else when you look deeper than flashy explosions and gritty headshots. Black is definitely a game all FPS fans should try, just given its length and lack of options, itŌĆÖs a game that would be best holding out for a price drop before investing.

Black Review
Xbox Review | We review Criterion's long awaited FPS.
The Score
A top notch, highly enjoyable FPS held back by its short length and lack of multiplayer amongst a few other minor issues. Still highly recommended for FPS fans, but waiting for a price drop would probably be a wise decision. | 7½ |

5 Year-Old Prays Unforgettable Prayer
Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void(without fruit), but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it." 2 corinthians 4:13 "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe and therefore speak;".
Wow. You Know That's A Blessing From Our Lord And Saviour.(: I LOVE JESUS!(:
Anthoni Rossi, Of course he will be tempted, and tried. The prince of the air is on his job, seeking whom he may devour. Does he have you? Or do you belong to The Most High God? I think you have yet to be saved because you referred to yourself as a "terrible human" We love you and we are in prayer for Your Soul. THIS CHILD OF GOD IS COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS!
Wow.. simply listening to it touched my heart...
@anthoni rossi Lord move into his life like a flood. bless him to experience your love like he has never experienced it before so that he can have a perosnal relationship with you. bless him to be filled with joy peace love and happiness so that his light will become bright through you and draw others in. catch him on fire for you bless his flame to grow to hieghts that no one can put out. make his calling plain to him show him his purpose so that he may be a blessing to someone else. these are the blessing i ask in Jesus's name amen.
He is adorable and out of the mouth of babes God has perfected praise.
To Brother Rossi who made this comment: "This kid is still going to sin when he gets older and be a terrible human just like the rest of us." Perhaps you should pray for him as oppose to speaking negative things into the atmosphere. Who knows, perhaps your sincere, earnest prayer to the Lord might deter and redirect his path from this fate. And yes we do all sin but the difference is we have a Healer, Restorer and helper. We all fall down but we have the power to recover and move on. I pray this for you.
WOW! This kid is really a blessing. :D ;) <3.
WOW!!! How AWESOME is that?!!!! Yeah, I remember Marjoe Gortner, Terry. This kid may turn out to be like the OT Samuel, or maybe "Isaiah"---he's already got the name! :)
I love this and simply pray his parents and church promise God to never let this child be used in a Margo Gortner kind of way! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjoe_Gortner: Psalm 8:2 2 You have taught children and infants. to tell of your strength,[a]. silencing your enemies. and all who oppose you.

We run dual 1.2GHz amd athlon mp cpu nodes with the Tyan S2462 Thunder K7 motherboards under 2.4 kernels. At the time we got our nodes, this was the only dual athlon board out for any length of time, so we ended up getting it even though it has onboard scsi that we don't use. There is a model out now without the scsi but the same chipset. Only issues is that we needed good power supplies with these boards (460 or 435, not sure). aapro (or some company with a similar name) makes 1U dual athlons, but we decided against it because we were worried about cooling issues. We actually rackmount our 2U nodes with some space between them for some extra airflow above and below the cases.

Capcom interested in releasing remastered games for PS3
The announcement last week that the original God of War and it's sequel was getting a remastered release for the PS3 certainly raised some eyebrows.
So if Capcom were asked to do a similar project, like they were a couple of days ago concerning Devil May Cry 1-3, would they do it?
"I don't want anyone reading this the wrong way (as I'm not saying anything like this could happen) but I'm seeing some interested for DMC to get this treatment… are there other titles you'd like see go this way? I'm looking for some temperature readings," was what Capcom's Christian Svensson said on the forums of Capcom Unity.

We spoke to Christian last week on the podcast as well as Capcom Unity head Chris Kramer. Go grab it here.

Lies about same sex marriage and cross on a football helmet
In a month, state of Washington voters will approve marriage equality for gays and lesbians in that state. Well, Catholic Bishop Joseph Tyson wrote a statement urging Washington Catholics to remember to take marching orders from the Catholic Church. Bishop Tyson wrote about marriage equality passing in Washington ,"it will become legally discriminatory for public and private institutions such as schools to promote the unique meaning of marriage.
This is a lie. A complete lie. All bans on interracial marriages were removed in 1967, nothing stops churches and religious schools from opposing those kind of marriages. If the Catholic church wants to advocate for opposing gay rights by quoting the bible/religion, they will have the perfect right to do so. Please Bishop Tyson, stop the lieing.
Oh, by the way. In Canada they have paid prison chaplains. Well, now they will only have Christian paid prison chaplains. Yep, only Christians. See, the government has said that prison chaplains are too expensive, so instead of cutting some Christian chaplains also, they cut all Wiccans, Jewish and Muslim chaplains.
The Canadian governmental ministry involved stated: "However, (it) is not in the business of picking and choosing which religions will be given preferential status through government funding." Really? You just picked and chose Christianity over all other religions. Prisoners of other religions have to rely on volunteer chaplains, so why not Christian chaplains?
Lastly, closer to home in Milwaukee, Shorewood High School and Messmer High School have had a combined football team. The former is a public school, the latter is a Catholic school. Well, a new logo had a cross on their helmets. When pointed out that this shouldn't be the case, an immediate change happened. Since this isn't the Bible Belt, there didn't have to be endless fighting in getting them to change to a non-religious logo.
Now, of course the religious right-wing is up in arms, but if Dearborn, MI, which has a large Muslim population, had a public school or public/private combo school with an Islamic crescent would the religious right-wing defend it? No of course not, in fact, the school adminstrators (and maybe players) would be getting death threats right now.

The recent frost has caused a price hike on produce, but local farmers are doing their best to keep prices down.
At the San Luis Obispo Farmer's market Thursday night, prices were still fairly low.
According to Jose Reyes of Cortez Farm in Santa Maria, they plan to keep their prices low, but it's been tough. "We try to get our best produce to the market and keep prices low. Pretty much, a lot of people raise prices, but not us. If we can get money out of what we do right now, that's fine with us," said Reyes.
Reyes says lettuce, green beans, and spinach crops have been hit the hardest by frost in recent weeks.

Last week the results of a recent study published in the journal Pediatrics disproved the belief held by many parents that playing "active" video games like Wii Fit and Dance Dance Revolution could increase their kids' activity levels. However, before you throw away your Wii Fit systems and go back to the drawing board, let's take a look at the study to determine whether video game fitness really is too good to be true.

All parents want what's best for their kids. They want them to be the smartest in the class, or the fastest on the team. They give them time, money, support, encouragement, and love, all to help them be the best they can be. For many families, this is especially true when it comes to fitness and sports.
But before plowing into hours of practices and training sessions with spring sports right around the corner, it's important for parents to ask themselves, "Are my kids working out too much, or not enough?"
According to research done at the University of Michigan, exercise is key to combating the obesity epidemic, especially in a nation where 15% of all children are estimated to be overweight. However, it's also possible to push kids so hard in organized activities and athletics that they run the risk of injury and mental/emotional fatigue.
So, how do we determine what's really best for kids?
Existing research isn't too much help here. Many studies have been done on childhood fitness, and many sets of guidelines have been published. According to Harold Kohl, an epidemiologist from the University of Texas, there are at least 27 sets of official guidelines from various organizations without a lot of data to back them up.
For example, we don't know why 60 minutes is more sufficient than 30 or 45, how play time or unorganized activity fits into the picture, or how individual differences impact the results. Fortunately, the experts do agree on a few things:
So what does this mean for families? Children spend a lot of time being told what to do by parents, teachers, peers, and the media. Maybe it's time to include our children in the decision-making process, and in turn, teach our kids to listen to their own bodies.
Whether they choose to participate in organized athletics or unorganized activity ("just play"), they stand to gain the benefits of building and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, without risking physical or emotional burnout. Activity can contribute fun, creativity, new skills, teamwork, and personal fulfillment to a child's life.
And if "the single best activity you do is the one you will do", let's allow our kids to choose how to become the best, healthiest, and happiest, they can be.
What sports and activities do your kids enjoy most?

We pretty much know that TMM will be reporting $48M in revenues in quarter 1 based on 28,642 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver sold. Allowing for a 10% increase in expenses we are looking at $27M in expenses. This would bring a pe-tax profit of $21M and an after tax profit of $14M or .10 per share. This compares to a profit of $4.8M or .03 per share in quarter 1 of last year. With gold at $1,470 revenues would drop to $42.5M and profits would drop to $15.5M pretax and $10.5M aftertax or .07 per share based on this same production in quarter 2. We should hear soon as to whether the company will pay off the Sprott loan.

Evidently, buyers still fall for the old memory amount trick when choosing graphics cards, and Club 3D isn't late to capitalize on that. The company released a new GeForce GT 640 low-profile double-slot graphics card that crams in 4 GB of GDDR3 memory. Its GPU is clocked at 900 MHz, and memory at 1600 MHz. The 4 GB memory is spread across a 128-bit wide interface. Display outputs include dual-link DVI, HDMI, and D-Sub. Based on the 28 nm GK107 GPU, the GeForce GT 640 packs 384 CUDA cores. Here's the kicker - it is priced at 177€. Source: VideoCardz
why would you put 4Gb on such a low end graphics card? it's like having 4 wheel drive on Toyota corolla.
These low-end cards with their high amount of VRAM are perfect for Photoshopping and other GPU intensive 2D works, but 177€, seriously?
omg 177€, "nice", they could go with 6GB and sell that for like 250€, cuz there is no cards 6GB cards in that price range
Yeah, if there was 6-8 gigs of VRAM they could easily ask for some 500 euro... Just a few years ago you could get junk like this one for 50-70 euro, and now Edit: doesn't they look like twins?
Having 4WD or AWD on any car is nice. Nice that it's low profile though. You can stick that in a tiny case.
Becuase innocent customers may fall into the trap and pay so much for a 4GB card to discover it later?
Reminds me of when (long ago when I was a noob) I had bought a Nvidia FX5500 being impressed at its massive 256MB Vram... most cards then had 64MB or 128MB, and were 4x as powerful!
It's probably the lowest grade DDR3 the could get on the cheap, then indicated with the reduced effective clock speed they use. Like that it's at least it's a half-height, Nvidia should have release the reference 640 based solely on the purpose of SFF that might helped justify that MSRP price. Well a AWD/4WD in a crap car that started as underpowered… it's not, because it doesn't make it more effective, the added weight and gearing slows it down keeping you out of problem only in those really averse conditions… the rest of the time you're slow and not as efficient. When done right there's a lot of good, slapped on as an afterthought it's just bad. This said by a guy who knows just how wild a AWD CVT Subaru Justy could be, not that owned one but plenty fun windshield time in cars we were expected to drive hard.
4GB WITH DDR3 LMFAOA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Seriously what is up with these weird cards coming out lol

Mathew 3:4-8 Now John himself was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance."

It's official: BRITNEY SPEARS is single again. Her fiancé Jason Trawick even removed himself as Britney's co-conservator, which means that Britney's dad Jamie Spears is in total control once again.
--Jason started out as Britney's agent. They got engaged last year, after which he became her co-conservator. Now he's none of those things. Britney has new management.
--But sources say the breakup was amicable, and the two of them just grew apart. Britney released a statement saying, quote, "Jason and I have decided to call off our engagement. I'll always adore him and we will remain great friends."
--Jason reportedly signed a confidentiality agreement, meaning he can't talk about the relationship.
--One source claims the breakup was over kids. Britney wanted more, Jason wanted NONE. She's 31 . . . he's 41. Britney has already given Jason back the $90,000 engagement ring.

NBA AM: Do The Bobcats Have A Deal For The #2?
The Bobcats May Have A Deal To Make: Since landing the 2nd overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft Lottery the Charlotte Bobcats have made no secret of their desire to move down from the #2 spot and try to secure multiple assets in this draft in efforts to rebuild the team around a youth movement.
The Bobcats met with Kansas big man Thomas Robinson over the weekend and are debating their options with the #2.
Sources say the team understands that Robinson is likely a can't-miss prospect, but they do not appear to be sold that he is the franchise changer the team desperately needs. The same is being said of Kentucky forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Like Robinson, he is said to be a solid NBA prospect and really has a limited downside, but like T-Rob he's not going to get the Cats into contention all by himself.
Enter the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavs hold the #4 and #24 picks in the 2012 NBA Draft and do not appear to want either pick. The Cavs have eyes for Florida's Brad Beal and they know that if they stay at #4 they know the Wizards are taking Beal with the #3.
League sources say there is a standing offer of the #4 and #24 to Charlotte for the rights to the #2 pick and it seems if something better does not surface they may trigger a deal.
The Bobcats are being incredibly thorough in their process, giving each draft prospect real and serious consideration, but cashing in the #2 pick for multiple picks seems to be real. The question is, will Cleveland toss in one of their second round picks to seal the deal? That might be what it takes to make it happen.
The Bobcats currently hold the #2 and the #31 in the 2012 NBA Draft, while Cleveland holds the #4, the #24, the #33 and the #34 picks.
Sources in Cleveland have said from the start of this process that they would not be bringing four rookies into training camp, so making a deal with Charlotte that moves off a second round pick might make more sense in achieving that goal.
Equally, it is believed that Michael-Kidd Gilchrist is #2 on Washington's big board, meaning if the Cavs move up to grab Beal, Robinson could still be there at #4 for Charlotte and they could pocket the #24 and maybe an additional second round pick for their troubles.
A deal seems to be there for the Bobcats if they want it, so it's all about the decision making process for the Cats.
Breaking Up The Bulls: For several weeks there has been speculation that the Chicago Bulls would be open to trading a major piece in order to get into the Top 10 of the 2012 NBA Draft.
Before we get too far into this – every team is looking for a way to trade into the top of the NBA Draft that does not mean to expect a deal.
The Bulls are like every other competing team in the NBA; they understand that the last thing teams like Sacramento, Toronto and Golden State need or want is another rookie and that those teams might be willing to take on some salary if the right veterans were made available.
Enter Luol Deng.
Luol is owed $13.365 million next season and $14.275 million in the final 2013-2014 year of his deal. He is no longer the boat anchor of a contract that he once was and he's coming off his first NBA All-Star nod. He is a solid player and an even better locker room guy, so there would obviously be some level of interest.
The problem for the Bulls is that Luol wants to play for Great Britain in the Olympics and is putting off much-needed wrist surgery until after the London games. That surgery could shelve him until December of next season, and that threat makes his trade value somewhat shaky.
League sources close to the process say a number of teams such as Golden State and Toronto have expressed more than a passing interest in Luol in trade, so it's not as if Chicago doesn't have options if they wanted them. It just does not seem like Chicago is nearly as ready to break up the team that had the best record in the NBA two seasons ago and the best record in the East this year, however there is a cold hard truth. Derrick Rose will miss almost all of the 2012-2013 season and Deng will miss at least 20 games if he undergoes surgery.
How many games do the Bulls win without Rose and Deng, especially when it seems they may part ways with Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver and maybe even CJ Watson?
The Bulls have $63.39 million in firm salary commitments to the seven guys they have under contract – assuming they drop Korver, Brewer and Watson, all of which have non-guaranteed years on their deals.
Dropping Deng's $13.36 million in a year the team will be without Rose for more games than not, means the Bulls get out of Luxury Tax range and gives them the chance to pick up a high level pick for their troubles.
If The Bulls can trigger a trade with a team far enough below the Luxury Tax line, they only have to take back 50% of Deng's $13.365 million salary in trade ($6.682 million), assuming the acquiring team has room under the Tax line to absorb the difference.
The Warriors on July 10th will look to have $55.95 million in commitments before their $4 million offer sheet to Brandon Rush. Toronto has just $41.02 in salary commitments for next season.
With the Bulls looking to re-sign Omer Asik; needing to find a replacement point guard for Derrick Rose and avoid paying Luxury Tax in a year they may or may not compete for a title due to injury – trading off Luol Deng or even Joakim Noah makes a lot of sense, especially if it can deliver a top ten pick along the way – which both the Raptors and Warriors possess.
The Bulls emphatically deny that they are close to anything involving Deng, but if something comes together on Draft night, you could understand why.
Two On The Rise: Over the next four days there will be lots of last minute jockeying in the NBA Draft order. Sources close to the process says as many as 10 picks could change hands on draft night with virtually everyone holding a pick in the 15 to 30 range wanting to move up, around or out of the first round altogether.
With such a mad dash to move, several players' whose stocks might have been viewed as low are starting to rise as teams start to zero in on who they like.
Duke's Austin Rivers seems to be one of the players on a meteoric rise, possibly as high as #6 to Portland.
Apparently new Blazers' GM Neil Olshey believes Rivers could be a real star level guy in the NBA and the Blazers have been debating the merits of taking him with the #6 and drafting the best available center at #11. The problem is the Blazers would be passing on UCONN big man Andre Drummond who most believe will be there at #6 and might be too much of an upside talent to pass on.
Common sense says go with Drummond, but Olshey has always been willing to take risks. If Paul Allen and the Blazers buy- in don't be shocked to see Rivers go #6 because there is almost no chance he'll be there at #11 as New Orleans is said to covet him with the #10.
Memphis guard Will Barton has been doing his thing for teams at the bottom of the first round. There is enough positive buzz about Barton to peg his range at anywhere from 21 to Boston all the way to 29 to Chicago. Barton has a few more workouts scheduled and there is growing belief the he could go even higher with teams like Milwaukee (#12), Dallas (#17) and Minnesota (#18) all strongly considering Barton.
The landscape of the 2012 NBA Draft is going to change between now and the 28th of June. That change is going to affect where some guys are ultimately drafted regardless of where we may rank their stock.
Mass Exodus: Whenever a new general manager is hired some change is to be expected, however new Magic GM Rob Hennigan appears to be starting over . The Magic relieved almost all of their front office and scouting staff yesterday including long-time assistant General Manager Dave Twardzik .
Josh Robbins and Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel are reporting that in addition to Twardzik, regional scout Tom Conrad, international scout Rudy D'Amico, international scouting coordinator Sam Foggin, pro scout Bob Staak, regional scout Greg Stratton and NBA advance scout Al Walker were let go this weekend.
Only scouting coordinator Brian Wright was retained from the old staff. Twardzik was given the opportunity to stay on through the NBA Draft, but apparently declined the option.
League sources commented yesterday that the early word regarding the Magic's draft plans include trying to trade the #19 overall pick for a future draft asset. The Magic appear to be trying to get as much salary off the books as possible.
As things stand today the Magic have some options they can explore this summer with Magic guard Jameer Nelson and forward Earl Clark both poised to opt out of their contracts before July 1st. Forward Ryan Anderson can become a restricted free agent and JJ Redick has a non-guaranteed year on his deal.
If the Magic pass on all of them, they could get their cap commitments down to $50.43million giving them $7 or so million in salary cap room to pursue free agents. The #19 pick represents a salary of $1,181,800 this year and $1,235,000 next year, and it seems that cap space is more valuable than the player the team could acquire.
Nothing is done on this front; however it seems that's the direction the franchise is headed with the 2012 NBA Draft set for Thursday June 28th.

Democrats' first line of attack was to scare retirees by claiming that Romney-Ryan would "end Medicare as we know it." The second step was to accuse Mitt Romney of endorsing every aspect of every bill that Paul Ryan had ever written. Two weeks on, the two-pronged attack failed to put a dent in Romney's poll numbers. That had Team Obama a bit jittery. And when economic historian Niall Ferguson wrote a Newsweek cover story last week titled "Hit the Road Barack" the frayed nerves erupted into full-throated panic.

Dimming notes:
This bulb works well on all LED/CFL dimmers, with performance at around 1%/8% (measured/perceived). Amongst LED/CFL dimmers we recommend Leviton SureSlide (6674-10W) and Leviton Illumatech (IPL06-10Z) for no fuss dimming, without the need to adjust low-end trim. This bulb also works well on a wide selection of Magnetic Low Voltage dimmers. The following Magnetic Low Voltage dimmers are compatible with this bulb: Leviton Sureslide (6613-PL) 0%/4%, Lutron Diva (DVLV-603P) 1%/12%, Lutron Skylark (SLV-603P) 0%/4%, Lutron Ariadni (AYLV-603P) 0%/4%, and Lutron Maestro Wireless (MRF2-6ND-120) 0%/6%. Lutron Nova T (NTLV-400VA), Leviton Illumatech (IPM06-1), Lutron Radio RA2 (RRD-10ND), and WattStopper Slide Dimmer (SDMLV-603) are also compatible, but we do not sell these. Lutron Maestro Wireless (MRF2-6ELV-120) is the only compatible Electronic Low Voltage dimmer amongst the ELV dimmers tested, measuring in at about 1%/10%. LED/CFL and some MLV dimmers do not require a neutral wire. We do not recommend Phase Adaptive or incandescent dimmers for this bulb. - Applications
Great for all applications of typical BR30's. Do not use in enclosed fixtures because the heat accumulation may shorten the life of the bulb. UL approved for damp locations.

Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and
supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within
the broad discrete and analog semiconductor markets, today announced
that the Company was named North West England's winner of the
Environmental Achievement Award in the inaugural EEF Future
Manufacturing Awards. The Company received the award, sponsored by
British Gas plc., at a presentation held at Manchester's Imperial War
Museum and will now go forward to take part in its national awards
finals taking place in February next year.
The Environmental Achievement Award was presented to Diodes Incorporated
in recognition of the Company's 50% reduction in its carbon footprint at
its Oldham based semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities. The award
reflected both improvements to production processes as well as employee
involvement through 'green teams', dedicated to increasing energy
efficiency, reducing waste and improving overall environmental
David Ost, Director of the EEF's North West Region, said, "Manufacturers
make a valuable contribution to the economy of North West England and
the United Kingdom as a whole. Diodes' award sends a clear message that
anyone who thinks the United Kingdom has lost its manufacturing edge is
wrong! The awards night proved that there are companies right here that
are breaking down barriers, reinventing the rules and reaching out for
new opportunities to create a manufacturing industry we can be proud of."
Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Diodes
Incorporated, said, "Diodes' Zetex operations began setting targets for
reducing its carbon footprint years ago, before the issue had really
grabbed worldwide attention, and the achievements today are truly
amazing. This award is thanks to the hard work and commitment of the
entire Zetex team, including our 'green team' – made up of people who
are passionate about environmental improvements and the benefits they
bring to the business."
