HoopsHype Glen Davis rumors
With free-agent-to-be forward Glen Davis telling the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday that he intends to sign with them after he clears waivers at 5 p.m. Eastern and thereby taking the Brooklyn Nets' top free agent option off the table, Collins is - according to a person with knowledge of the situation - in the process of finalizing a 10-day deal with the Nets that would be nothing short of historic. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because the deal is not yet done. USA Today Sports
After agreeing to a buyout with the Orlando Magic, Davis is expected to clear waivers at 5 p.m. on Sunday and will sign a deal for the rest of the season with his former Celtics coach, Doc Rivers, and the Los Angeles Clippers. Yahoo! Sports
Davis, set to officially become an unrestricted free agent Sunday at 5 p.m. ET if, as expected, he is not claimed off waivers by another team, already informed teams of his decision to join the Clippers, according to sources. ESPN.com
Marc J. Spears: Glen Davis has given Clippers word he is signing, a source told Yahoo. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Chris Broussard: Sources: Glen "Big Baby" Davis has decided to sign with LA Clippers once he clears waivers today at 5 pm ET Twitter @Chris_Broussard
Jason Collins has reached agreement on a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets, clearing the way for the first openly gay athlete in major professional sports history, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Yahoo! Sports
Collins will become the first openly gay active player in North America's four recognized major team sports. The Nets moved quickly to sign Collins to have another big body available against the Lakers. Collins will become the first openly gay active player in North America's four recognized major team sports. ESPN.com
Yet because Collins never continued his career, the revelation was somewhat anticlimactic in terms of its possible social impact. That could change soon, as – according to a person with knowledge of the situation – the Nets were told on Sunday morning that Davis would sign with the Clippers and Collins is widely believed to be their next option. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks. USA Today Sports
Sam Amick: Nets been given impression Glen Davis will sign w/ Clippers once he clears waivers at 5 p.m. Eastern, I'm told. They're plotting Plan B now. Twitter @sam_amick
Jason Collins may be on the verge of becoming the first openly gay NBA player to actually, well, play. With strong signs that free-agent-to-be forward Glen Davis will likely sign with the Los Angeles Clippers after he clears waivers at 5 p.m. Eastern, Collins appears to be next in line as a roster addition for the Brooklyn Nets. The 35-year-old announced his homosexuality by way of Sports Illustrated nearly 10 months ago, and thus became known as the first openly-gay NBA player. USA Today Sports
Adrian Wojnarowski: Glen Davis has moved close to committing to the Clippers, clearing way for Nets to sign Jason Collins, league sources tell Yahoo. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Marc J. Spears: NBA free agent forward Glen Davis is "leaning" toward signing with the Clippers, a source told Yahoo. Davis clears waivers at 5 PM EST today Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Adrian Wojnarowski: Davis has started to inform teams of decision to sign with Clippers, and Clips are proceeding with knowledge that he's coming, sources said. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Ramona Shelburne: Glen Davis wont clear waivers until this afternoon, but he gave the Clippers a sense he's decided to join them. Twitter @ramonashelburne
Sam Amick: No Davis deal yet w/ Clips b/c there can't be, but Jason Collins' chances of returning to the NBA (Nets) appear to have markedly improved. Twitter @sam_amick
There is growing sentiment within the Brooklyn Nets' organization to move quickly to sign Jason Collins to a 10-day contract if they are spurned by free agent-to-be Glen Davis, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. ESPN.com
Sources told ESPN.com that the Nets -- who have made Davis their top frontcourt target -- still intend to make a signing soon if they can't convince Davis to choose them over the Los Angeles Clippers. ESPN.com
One source close to the process made it clear Saturday that the Nets "will be ready to move on" should Brooklyn lose its recruiting faceoff with the Doc Rivers-coached Clippers. ESPN.com
The teams in the hunt for Davis, sources said, expect a decision Sunday. The league office, meanwhile, has confirmed to ESPN that Davis will officially become an unrestricted free agent Sunday at 5 p.m. ET if, as expected, he is not claimed off waivers by another team. ESPN.com

By now, you've probably picked up on the fact that beauty sleep is a real thing. Just think of what you look like after a restful snooze session compared to what your face looks like after a rough night. Your skin restores and rejuvenates itself as you sleep, but it's important to help the process by engaging in a few habits before bedtime.
According to The Beauty Department, there are three steps that should be taken before bedtime. That's cleansing your face, exfoliating and applying a rich night cream. All of these can help your skin cleanse itself of the toxins it accumulated throughout the day and protect your complexion from the signs of aging.
Use a cleanser like Exuviance – Purifying Cleansing Gel to start off your bedtime routine, then find an exfoliating scrub that's gentle enough for everyday use. It will slough off dead skin cells and make your skin appear brighter when you wake up in the morning.
Finally, apply a cream like BABOR – Vita Balance Night Cream. It will promote cell regeneration while thoroughly moisturizing your skin. You'll wake up glowing no matter how little sleep you got!

WEAKNESSES: Leaner-than-ideal frame and has room to add some more bulk and muscle aggressive and tough, but lacks overpowering strength to sustain blocks long enough more of a possession target and doesnt consistently create enough after the catch still developing as a route runner and plays a little tight and mechanical at times...was never overly productive in college and didnt lead the team in catches in any of his four seasons in college only 10 career TDs in 36 starts. SUMMARY: Was set to play collegiate basketball before New Hampshire and Connecticut offered him a football scholarship...lacks overpowering strength as a blocker, but stays tenacious and square to hold up in pass pro and as a run blocker, earning praise from the coaching staff for his scheme versatility strong hands and focus to catch everything thrown his way, making smooth adjustments and lining up everywhere on the offense reliable target w ho projects as a No. 2 TE in the NFL. |

Re: 6th round Ryan Griffin TE Uconn
Well, I've seen more tapes on Griffin and I have to downgrade his prospect a little bit; after all, he's a sixth round pick.
I finally found a scouting report that I agree with about his blocking. It's still lacking in several aspects, especially for a big guy like him. http://www.fanaticalyankee.com/6/pos...fl-draft1.html Griffin really needs to improve in that area if he wants to make the team. He looks capable; I don't know why the results weren't more consistent. Guess that's why he's a sixth round pick. |

Re: 6th round Ryan Griffin TE Uconn
Yeah, the Texans seem to be high on Supernaw, and there's no way we only go with 2 TE's like last year with the FB, Casey, being the 3rd. Of course they could go with 4 TE's, but then they lose another player somewhere else, like WR or OL. It will all come down to ST's and who can play ST's better.

Then he must be placed on active roster. I'll go with Supernaw for time being which is why TE wasn't on my draft list after 5th where you might feel that obligation.

Yeah...I wouldn't PS him either...
He's 6'6", big frame, good mobility and can catch. I could easily see a team that's not deep at TE or has an injury picking him up. |

Re: 6th round Ryan Griffin TE Uconn
But I do compare their blocking with ours in the games the teams face each other. The guys that I watched more to know for sure are Dreessen, and Garrett Graham. Then there's a guy named Brandon Myers whom I wanted the Texans to draft over Anthony Hill for the exact reason. At the time, when I "scouted" him, I mentioned on this board that I haven't enjoyed watching a college TE blocking like that for quite a while. He wasn't utilized enough in the passing game, but IMO, does possess the ability. He became a starter and recently signed a nice contract with the Giants. Graham wasn't as good a blocker at Wisconsin, but he was pretty good. In fact, his production was hindered because he was asked to block; the other TEs just couldn't get the job done (if I remember correctly, Lance Kendrick was one of them who got drafted a year later.) Toilolo (Stanford), for example, is a guy I think can bring good value due to his blocking skill to the pros (along with his underrated catching ability). I have a few names in the pro, but I hesitate to name, because I don't watch them enough to confirm. |

Wine and Architecture / Heinz-Gert Woschek, Denis Duhme & Katrin Friederichs
Several wineries and vineyards have captured the public's eye in recent years thanks to their distinctive architecture, which thoroughly conveys the atmosphere of their surroundings while reflecting the tradition of the winemaker. Through selected vineyards, this book traces the path of winemaking from grape harvest to tasting – all through the eyes of architects and winemakers: Based on numerous conversations with them, the authors are able to tell the personal stories behind the origins of each building and how it relates to its special place, all while expressing the sensual experience that is part of the world of wine. Besides information about the various wine-growing regions and the history of "wine architecture", the book familiarises the reader with the winemaking process and wine itself, making the book a handy wine and travel guide from the architect's perspective.

KamerMaker: Mobile 3D Printer Inspires Potential for Emergency Relief Architecture
3-D Printing technology is developing at quickening pace as both engineers and architects experiment with its technological and social potential. Consider Enrico Dini's D-Shape printer that prints large scale stone structures out of sand and an inorganic binder or Neri Oxman's research at MIT which involves a 3-D printing arm and nozzles that can print with a variety of different materials, from concrete to recycled plastic.
Dutch firm DUS Architects, in collaboration with Ultimaker Ltd, Fablab Protospace, and Open Coop, have added another 3-D printing machine to the list known as KamerMaker, the room builder. KamerMaker is the world's first mobile 3d printer and has the ability to print "rooms" that are up to 11 feet high and 7 feet wide. The machine was unveiled at OFF PICNIC, a precursor to Amsterdam's annual PICNIC technology festival.

C+S Architects' contribution, Facecity, for the 2012 Venice Biennale, gives form to the idea of the curator, Fulvio Irace, of continuity in architecture. The exhibition reconsiders the architecture of Milan in the 50s and 60s, where architects, belonging to different generations and with different positions, built the identity of the city without giving up their personal poetics.
The central topic of this thought is the facade, commented by Alberto Savinio in Ascolto il tuo cuore città, 1945: " …On the facade of buildings is not only written their date of birth, but also written the moods, the manners, the most secret thoughts of their time…, together with the flat window, theorized by Gio Ponti as the way to shape modernity."

US 2981888 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) United rates 2,981,888 Patented Apr. 25, 1961 ELECTRICAL CURRENT MEASURING SYSTEM James 0. White, In, Norwalk, Califi, assignorg'by mesne assignments, to Dresser Industries, Inc., Dallas, Tex., a corporation of Delaware Filed July 19, 1955, Ser. No. 522,932 4 Claims. (Cl. 324-115) This invention relates to a system for measuring electrical currents which may vary over a very wide range of values; and, more specifically, to an overload protection system applicable to series-connected instruments having differing current-carrying capacities and each of which measures over a portion of such wide range of values. More particularly, the invention comprehends a system to protect the more sensitive of two instruments, such as galvanometers, having differing ranges of measurement or capacities and whose measuring or deflecting coil units are connected in series but have differing current-carrying capacities. This type or combination of apparatus may be employed in instances where a physical variable such as an electric current to be measured varies in value or magnitude over a range too great to be accommodated by any one instrument. A typical instance is that occurring in well logging operations, where- I in such a physical variable as the current produced by the natural potential of an earth formation is continuously measured and the measurements recorded by suitable means such as a photo-recorder. The variations in the value of the physical variable may be so extensive that it is required, for acceptable logging, that a lower range of values be measured by an instrument of greater sensitivity and an upper range of values be measured by an instrument of greater current-carrying capacity and lower sensitivity. Since a practically instantaneous shift of measuring from either instrument to the other is required, the two are connected in series and the instrument of greater sensitivity is protected from the overload applied to it when measuring is performed by the otherinstrument. Heretofore the means employed to protect the more sensitive lower range instrument have been relatively complex, expensive and unreliable. In the case of some instruments, subjecting the coils three or four times to loads such as cause more than full scale deflection has been found to result in a somewhat permanent hysteresis effect; hence the necessity for certain and adequate protection of such instruments is apparent. It is, then, a principal object of the present invention to provide an electrical instrument overload protection system of the class indicated, which is simple, inexpensive, and reliable. Another object of the invention is to provide an electric current measuring system adapted to continuously measure a variable current throughout a range greater than that which can be accommodated by one instrument with the desired degree of sensitivity, with means to protect the instrument measuring over the lower portion of the range of current values when currents in the higher portion of the range are supplied. Other objects which will hereinafter be made or become apparent are attained by the invention, a preferred exemplary embodiment of which is diagrammatically indicated in the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a diagram employed for explanatory purposes; Figure 2 is a second explanatory diagram; and Figure 3 is an electric circuit diagram illustrating a complete protection system of the class envisioned by the invention, conventional electrical symbols being employed in designations of the circuit components. In the drawings, current measuring instruments are, in general, indicated by only their respective deflection coil units, for the sake of clarity and simplicity of illustration. Referring to Figure 1, G represents the coil unit such as a galvanometer deflection coil unit, of an instrument adapted to measure the magnitude of an electrical quantity, and through the turns of which is supplied by leads as indicated a current equal to or representing the electrical quantity. If 1 represents the milliampere current through coil unit G which will result in full scale deflection of the instrument, it is obvious that an applied current in excess of I may damage the instrument. If, however, there be shunted across the coil a device D which will conduct no current when coil unit G is carrying less than current I but will conduct any applied current greater than I, coil unit G will be protected against overload. A voltage representing the current carried by or passed through coil unit G may be derived across the combination 'of a resistor connected in series with the coil unit, as indicated in Figure 2. Therein the coil unit G carries a milliampere current I, and is connected in series with an impedance preferably in the form of a resistor R2. The voltage drop across R2 and the resistance RG of coil G may be taken as indicative of the magnitude of the supplied current I, as is well known. R1 may be another resistor employed for calibration or other auxiliary purposes. If now a device of the nature of D of Figure 1 as hereinbefore described is connected as indicated to shunt coil unit G, and has such characteristics that it will pass practically no current until the voltage thereacross attains a value of I (RZ-j-RG') wherein I is the milliampere current value corresponding to the maximum safe current load for coil G, but will, upon being subjected to a voltage in excess of I (RZ-l-RG'), commence conduction to an extent sufficient to by-pass all current in excess of I, then coil unit G will be protected. A device of the required characteristics may be provided by shunting the coil and resistor combination by suitable means designated generally at D and comprising one or more diodes of proper characteristics. It will be understood that if the instrument is to operate solely on direct current of constant polarity, then one such diode is sufficient, poled or oriented in the proper electrical direction. If alternating currents are supplied for measurement, two parallel-connected, oppositely poled diodes are employed, connected in shunt as indicated at D1, D2. As an example of diode which is operable in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore indicated, the type lN138A Silicon Junction Diode commercially available from National Semiconductor Products, 930 Pitner Avenue, Evanston, Illinois, may be cited. With a coil unit G of known resistance and current-carrying capacity for full scale deflection of the instrument, the value of impedance required at R2 to provide a voltage which will just cause conduction through a diode having a known breakdown voltage is readily determined by application of Ohms law. The exemplary type of silicon junction diode hereinbefore cited conducts and by-passes excess current from the coil unit G when the applied potential exceeds 450 mv.; hence in that example I(R2+RG') should be made to equal 450. Referring now to Figure 3 in which a system of the type envisioned by the invention is portrayed in the diagrammatic form, the current-carrying deflection coil unit G1 of a first electrical instrument of relatively high sensitivity is connected in series with the deflection coil unit G2 of a second electrical instrument of relatively low sensitivity. Deflection coil unit G2, which may include a coil and a shunt RS, thus has greater current-carrying capacity than has deflection coil unit G1, and would, in v the usual combination of first and second instruments, be capable of carrying a current many times larger than the maximum permissible current for deflection coil unit G1. For example, if unit G1 had a full scale current capacity of I milliamperes, coil unit G2 would have a full scale current-carrying capacity of NI, wherein N is a number greater than unity. The measurable range of values of a variable current of instant value 1' would then extend from zero through NI, with the first instrument measuring over the lower portion of the range from zero'to 1 and the other instrument being used to measure from I to N1 Since each instrument must cover its own range of measurement values, that is, provide indications for all currents within its respective range, and since the indications 'must be continuous with respect to time over the combined ranges of the instruments, it is evident that the large currents measured by the second instrument must in large measure be shunted around the first instrument, with prompt and effective nullification of the shunt as soon as the current falls below the full scale deflection value of the first instrument. This desired automatic and instantaneous shunting action is performed by a suitable diode unit, and in the apparatus indicated in Figure 3, by the combination of oppositely poled, parallel connected diodes D1 and D2 connected to shunt the coil unit G1 and a potential means R2; the diodes being of the aforementioned characteristics and such as were hereinbefore cited as exemplary. With the mentioned type and manufacture of silicon junction diode, as soon as the voltage drop across the series combination of R2 and G1 exceeds 450 mv. the diode unit or combination D commences conducting and shunting the excess of current past or around G1. A current I sutlicient to maintain the required voltage drop continues to flow through R2 and G1, as is required to maintain the diode combination conductive; but as soon as the current falls below the value corresponding to full scale deflection of G1, the voltage drop across R2G1 falls below the 450 mv. critical value and the diode unit D ceases to conduct. Then the total current is measured by the first instrument, having deflection coil unit G1. When the diode unit (D1, D2, or both D1 and D2 connected as indicated) conducts due to the critical voltage being generated across R 2--G1 and applied across it, the current thus passed through the diode unit and the current passed through G1 are combined and supplied to the second instrument, which comprises deflection coil unit G2. It will be understood that the second instrument may be of construction substantially identical to that of the first instrument, in which case its sensitivity is lowered as by provision of purely resistive shunt means RS. In the event the second instrument is of different construction than that of the first instrument, a resistive or linear shunt means such as RS, or no shunt means, may be provided, as required. In accordance with the previously expressed considerations, unit G1 is considered to represent the first instrument and unit G2 the second instrument, irrespective of whether the second instrument includes a resistive shunt such as RS. The second instrument continues to measure the current while the latter is below the full scale value for the first instrument, but only the measurement providedby the first instrument is utilized during that time. However, as soon as full scale value of the first instrument is exceeded, the diode unit commences shunting the excess current past the first instrument and the indication or record provided by the second instrument is utilized. From the preceding description of certain features of the apparatus comprised in a preferred physical embodiment of the invention it is seen that the unique characteristic of a certain type of diode, and specifically of a silicon junction diode, of conducting in a forward direction only after a predeterminable voltage has been applied thereacross, is utilized to require flow of current to be measured through a first of series-connected instruments as long as full scale value of the instrument is not exceeded; and is utilized to by-pass or shunt around the first instrument current in excess of that corresponding to full scale value, for measurement by a second of such instruments. Further it is seen that the second of the series connected instruments, that is, the instrument of greater current carrying capacity, receives all of the current to be measured, including that shunted by the first instrument. Further, it is seen that the transition from measurement by either instrument to measurement by the other is substantially instantaneous in both directions, permitting continuous measurement of a supplied current which is permitted to vary throughout the entire ranges of both instruments. While specific types of nonlinear shunt elements have been mentioned and explained in connection with the specific exemplary form of apparatus disclosed, other elements having the required characteristics may be employed, it being sufficient for the purposes of the invention that the elements conduct current in the forward direction only when a potential above a predetermined level is applied, and act as an insulator to potentials or currents in the backward direction. Accordingly, it is desired to be not limited to the specific details of the described embodiment of the invention, but what I claim is: 1. An electrical measuring system for measuring an unidirectional electrical current which is variable over a wide range, comprising: a first current-measuring element for measuring such current up to a predetermined magnitude; a second current-measuring element connected in series with said first current-measuring element for measuring such current above said predetermined magnitude; a semiconductor diode connected in parallel with said first current-measuring element and of such polarity with respect thereto that it may be forwardly conductive under voltages thereacross resulting from flow of such current to be measured through said first current-measuring element, said diode having the characteristic of being non-conductive forwardly at voltages below and conductive forwardly at voltages above a predetermined threshold value; and means connected to said diode and said first current-measuring element to cause the said voltage applied across the said diode to have a value approxi- 'mately equal to the said predetermined threshold value when the flow of current through said first current-measuring element is equal to said predetermined magnitude. 2.

Pitt Ford, CW and Babinsky, H (2012) Lift and the leading edge vortex. 50th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Leading edge vortices are considered to be important in generating the high lift coefficients observed in insect flight and may therefore be relevant to micro-air vehicles. A potential flow model of an impulsively started flat plate, featuring a leading edge vortex (LEV) and a trailing edge vortex (TEV) is fitted to experimental data in order to provide insight into the mechanisms that influence the convection of the LEV and to study how the LEV contributes to lift. The potential flow model fits the experimental data best with no bound circulation, which is in accordance with Kelvin's circulation theorem. The lift-to-drag ratio is well approximated by the function 'cot α' for α > 15°, which supports the tentative conclusion that shortly after an impulsive start, at post-stall angles of attack, lift is caused non-circulatory forces and by the action of the LEV as opposed to bound circulation.

Closer found? Red Sox get Mark Melancon from Astros for Jed Lowrie and Kyle Weiland
Dec 14, 2011, 11:52 AM EDT
Boston may still add a veteran closer to replace Jonathan Papelbon, but in the meantime they've picked up a potential ninth-inning option in right-hander Mark Melancon, who saved 20 games for the Astros this year.
Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Red Sox are sending infielder Jed Lowrie and pitching prospect Kyle Weiland to the Astros for Melancon, who logged 74 innings with a 2.78 ERA and 66/26 K/BB ratio at age 26 and is under team control through 2016.
Injuries and prolonged slumps have been the story of Lowrie's career so far and despite showing flashes of a strong bat he's 27 years old with a modest .252 batting average and .742 OPS. He's also yet to play even 90 games in a season and there are some doubts about if he can handle being an everyday shortstop defensively, but the Astros need infield help and Lowrie has shown signs of being an impact player. He was expendable in Boston because of Marco Scutaro and slick-fielding shortstop prospect Jose Iglesias.
Weiland was the Red Sox's third-round pick in 2008 and struggled in his big-league debut, but posted solid numbers in the minors and looks capable of developing into a mid-rotation starter.
Melancon is good and cheap and under team control for years to come, so acquiring him beats paying a premium for a "proven closer" like Francisco Cordero or giving up top prospects for Andrew Bailey, but he's also a year removed from being at Triple-A and the Lowrie-Weiland haul in a good one for Houston.

- cur68 - Dec 14, 2011 at 1:08 PM

- Marc - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:01 PM
You've still got to think the Red Sox will spend on the bullpen. Madson doesn't really have anywhere else to go (meaning there's no other team with money to spend that doesn't have a closer). I'm sure the Sox realize this, and this trade gives them leverage in negotiations. Meanwhile they pick up a real big league arm for two guys that are expendable. Good deal on two fronts.
- fatass5 - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:12 PM
Why would the red soxs trust Madson when his own didnt
- uyf1950 - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:45 PM
I don't think it was a matter that the Phillies didn't trust Madson to close games. Personally I think it became a bumble *uck after they "in theory" offered him 4yrs/$11MM per with a 5th year option. After that screw up the Phillies had to look elsewhere and Papelbon was the obvious choice. Madson is at least as good a Bell who just signed with the Marlins 3yrs/$27MM I believe. The Red Sox could still probably land Madson for say $8MM per for 3 years and he would be worth it, in my opinion.
- Jonny 5 - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:19 PM
The Angels are all in and had a terrible time closing out games last year. I don't see him ending up anywhere but there.
- Jonny 5 - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:24 PM
Just looked it up. 14 blown saves for the Angels last season. 10 for Walden and 4 for Rodney. Something tells me they're quietly begging Madson to join their team.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:15 PM
Excellent trade for Houston. They could really use the SS/2B depth that Lowrie provides, and Weiland is worth taking a flyer on for them. I think Boston loses this one a little.
- Ben - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:23 PM
Don't really like this one for the Sox. Only thing Melancon has going for him is team control. His K/9 this year slid without a corresponding drop in BB/9. Maybe he'll break out, he's still young, but he's nothing special.
- uyf1950 - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:26 PM
I have a hard time believing that the Red Sox are going to enter the 2012 season with Mark Melancon as their closer of record. With all of 112 innings of MLB experience almost all of it with the Astros in the NL Central division. You have to think this is a move for the bullpen and not a closer. Madson still looks like the most likely candidate to close games for the Red Sox.

- baseballisboring - Dec 14, 2011 at 4:32 PM
You're why people hate Yankees fans. Really, it's you. I see plenty of reasonable, intelligent Yankees fans on here. You are definitely not one of them.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:36 PM
By contrast, I see very view reasonable, intellligent Red Sox fans, here or elsewhere. Looks like the Yankees win this contest as well.
- joshftw - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:27 PM
Oh please let Melancon be their closer! I'd love to see Boston blow a ton of 9th-inning leads.
- Ari Collins - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:30 PM
You realize that the difference between an elite closer and a so-so closer is like 2 or 3 BS a year? And you still win some of those?
- joshftw - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:48 PM
Melancon was a so-so closer in the NL Central. Im eager to see how he fares in the AL East.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:56 PM
The Yankees gave up on him. Nuff said.
- 18thstreet - Dec 14, 2011 at 3:07 PM
NL Central had some pretty good offenses in it, no? For a pitcher who doesn't have to face the Red Sox (and didn't get to face the Astros), it's not a huge drop off. If he was going to the Orioles, I might agree.
- baseballisboring - Dec 14, 2011 at 4:34 PM
2.78 ERA. And he was traded, not released or something. Nuff said.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:38 PM
They traded him because he had shown that he couldn't pitch in the AL East. That is "giving up on him". Notice that the Yankees have been holding onto their prized prospects as of late…and only trading away the ones that they don't really want to be a part of their future. Melancon wasn't any part of their future. They gave up on him. The end.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:40 PM

The rest of the AL East is going to tattoo him. The Angels as well (guess what, he still has to face Pujols). Add Texas to the mix and he is in for a lot harder time than he had in the NL.
- homelanddefense - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:37 PM
As a Red Sox fan its not what I was hoping for as a closer. Although they could still sign or trade for a different one, and use this guy as a set up since Bard will be a starter this year.
As for what they gave up, good riddance. Lowrie ALWAYS gets hurt. He cant even stay healthy as a backup infielder, I can only imagine how quickly he would get hurt if he played every day. And Weiland is a middle to back of the organization prospect.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:44 PM
Most of your farm system is garbage So no surprise that Weiland isn't all that. I hear that he can sing a little though.
- Ari Collins - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:31 PM
Granted, you're the expert, but most other experts consider it an above-average system.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:58 PM
Last I saw, their farm system was ranked in the middle of the pack, while the Yankees farm system is top five in most any of the current rankings. Your organization gutted their farm system while Cashman held onto the Yankees' top prospects. Take your lumps, Ari.
- 18thstreet - Dec 14, 2011 at 3:09 PM
Are they middle of the pack, or is it garbage? Because it can't be both.
Wait, why am I arguing with this guy?
- baseballisboring - Dec 14, 2011 at 4:35 PM
It's a nowhere road, 18thstreet. It's very tempting but I don't know why I ever try to either.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:34 PM
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:41 PM
The line where garbage farm systems starts IS in the middle of the pack. So, yes, it CAN be both (and it is).
- evanwins - Dec 14, 2011 at 3:56 PM
Your team is somehow out of money. They either don't have it or are unwilling to go over the cap. Every move they have made this off season points to them reducing payroll. Don't be surprised if. You see more shedding of Players…maybe top ones too.
- mentalotherhalf - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:40 PM
Melancon's a former Yankee. May the statistical anomaly gods thwart him from closing out even a single game against his former team; I hate when that happens.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:48 PM
Yet another Yankee reject on the Boston roster. LOL
- Ari Collins - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:33 PM
If by "reject" you mean, "traded in a midseason deal for an area of need," then yes. In that case, other Yankee rejects include WS MVP Mike Lowell.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 3:00 PM
Lowell was traded in the OFFSEASON to the Marlins, so he doesn't fit that description.
- baseballisboring - Dec 14, 2011 at 4:37 PM
not the point you moron.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:43 PM
Neither was the stupid comment about him being traded in midseason for an area of need" a relevant point…yet you fail to realize or criticize this. Your boy got caught in a lie…so let him takes his lumps.
- joshftw - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:58 PM
To be fair, they did exile him to Houston. I'd want some payback for that.
- hk62 - Dec 14, 2011 at 12:44 PM
MM is a contact closer, not a swing and miss guy – so defense matters. HOU has guys with more gas and or better out pitches to vie for the role in 2012. MM does get outs though – since he does K a ton of hitters, might need to move to set up at some point, but he is pretty fearless as a reliever – so both teams have the potential for this being a good trade. HOU gets a SS (hopefully) and a potential starter that can bring it past 91 mph (that makes 2 for now) and BOS gets a good, maybe very good reliever who's been in the ALE before.
Probably not an ideal closer for BOS though.

Melacon will be fine- he just needs to get one of those magnetic necklaces from Josh Beckett.
- bigleagues - Dec 14, 2011 at 1:23 PM
I like Lowrie a lot and it frustrates me he wasn't able to stay healthy. If healthy he is capable of a "where the hell did he come" type season – especially in the NL (at least for the next season or two).
Weiland is at best a BACK of the rotation option or middle relief.
That said, Craig . . . the Red Sox pulled a coup here . . . especially if Bard ends up in the rotation. Melancon still has high upside. And nothing would be greater than watching him close out games against the Yankees.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:55 PM
Keep hoping that the Yankee rejects work out for you guys. LMAO

Aceves worked out nicely for the Sox last year
- homelanddefense - Dec 14, 2011 at 4:41 PM
I dont know why anyone even responds to bozo anymore…
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:45 PM
Because you losers can't help yourselves. And you can't help but try to cover up the fact that I'm right about many things…so you try and use the lame "Thumbs Down" button to discredit the facts. Doesn't really work and it just makes you all look desperate.
- bigleagues - Dec 14, 2011 at 11:44 PM
Being right about factoids that exist only within your own reality doesn't count.
No matter what the content of your response happens to be, you are often good for a laugh. However, even the best comedians eventually want to be taken more seriously.
In the meantime, I hope everything is OK at Home. If not, and you need someone to talk with, were all here to help. Most of us are fairy adept at doling out 2nd hand professional advice.
- cur68 - Dec 15, 2011 at 3:34 AM
Hey I did my bit already. The rest of HBT is now up for counseling bozo. I love how he's like a little dog yapping away, getting disproportionately worked up about the slightest hint of a Yankees diss and never misses a chance to troll away at the Sox fans. Most fun I've had on here in some time. Be gentle with him lads. He's a conflicted soul, po lil thang.
- bozosforall - Dec 15, 2011 at 4:22 PM
Gotta laugh at you "high and mighties" who live here 24-7. And quite honestly, I couldn't care less what anyone here thinks of me. None of you pay my bills so your comments are worthless in the grand scheme of things. And trust me, I'm laughing as well. At how seriously you all take yourselves here.
And the comment about getting worked up about a Yankee diss? Please, child…you losers cry about every single negative Boston comment that is made here. Pot calling the kettle black. Of course, with the blinders on, none of you can see that.
- bigleagues - Dec 15, 2011 at 5:27 PM
See, Bozo! Red flag right there in your response.
You state emphatically that our comments do not matter to you, and yet, beyond the over-emphasis on your part, it's obvious by your words that you do care A LOT about our responses. Otherwise you'd sit quietly in the corner with the other trolls who chime in from time to time.
Christmas time can be lonely. Remember don't be too proud or afraid of the stigma attached to asking for help.
- purnellmeagrejr - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:02 PM
nice analysis by Aaron who deserves credit for not once using he phrase "Win, win" in describin g a trade which does seem to work about evenly for both teams even once in the column. As far as Melancon being a closer – I wouldn't count on it, but a good reliever is worth having, regardless.
- stex52 - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:25 PM
Melancon will log some innings; I see him more as a 7th-8th reliever. He was decent in an unexpected role when Lyon injured himself. You are right; more of a contact-type reliever.
It's hard to know where to start with Houston, but SS and middle-starter are two of many weaknesses. Hopefully one or both guys will work out.
- Ari Collins - Dec 14, 2011 at 2:35 PM
Where's the "contact-type reliever" stuff coming from, folks? He's always been a guy who strikes out a fair amount of batters.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 3:02 PM
That was in the NL. In the AL, his strikeout ratio was significantly lower than in the NL.
- dprat - Dec 14, 2011 at 3:25 PM
I see, and you've come to this conclusion based on a grand total of 20.1 IP in the AL? Well, no doubt about it then.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:46 PM
Not any less relevant of a conclusion than the idiots that think that he will do just fine in the AL East. At least the stats back what I'm saying.
- stex52 - Dec 14, 2011 at 4:39 PM
SO/BB ratio good at 2.5, but he basically had close to one hit and one strikeout per inning. For Houston he would probably be fine in the role for another year. I'd think Boston would like a little better in a closer.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:48 PM
That's what I was saying…but hey, if you want to have a mediocre guy closing for you, the Yankees will be more than happy to launch HRs on this guy all season long.
He is no Papelbon…not even close.
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Dec 14, 2011 at 3:09 PM
A bit disappointed to see Lowrie go. He had a lot of potential but just couldn't ever stay off the DL for a full year. Best of luck to him in Houston
- hammyofdoom - Dec 14, 2011 at 5:07 PM
You know, I'm sad to see Lowrie go, but honestly the guy can't stay healthy and had a bit of a stone glove at SS, his real value is in his versatility and the POSSIBILITY of plus offense. He's already older than I thought he was, and the Sox could afford to trade him. As for Weiland, the sox have quite a few mid/end rotation type pitchers in their farm system, just not any "aces" so he was good for tradebait as well. Young pitcher, good numbers, team controlled for a long time, me likey.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:51 PM
1943mrmojorisin1971 – Dec 14, 2011 at 3:10 PM
Aceves worked out nicely for the Sox last year___
Not for the bump in pay that the Red Sox gave him. And if he ends up being a regular in the rotation, watch for him to decline from last year's numbers.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:54 PM
And also not for what he is going to get in salary arbitration this year. LMAO
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:53 PM
According to a major league source, the Red Sox expect to exceed the $178 million payroll threshold that would trigger luxury tax payments for the 2012 season.
- bozosforall - Dec 14, 2011 at 7:58 PM
Included in that is the fact that their players who are arbitration-eligible will cost them significantly more…for basically the same production.
Ellsbury's salary will likely triple…from 2.4 mil to around 8 mil
Saltalamacchia's salary will triple as well…to over 2 mil
Aceves, Aviles, Bard and Morales will also see significant raises in their salaries.All for basically the same production or less.
- thamel37 - Dec 14, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Bozosforall= way to much time on your hands!
Can anyone have an opinion that is different than yours? Seriously, does it bug you that much if someone says something you might not agree with? Can't believe you have so much time to dedicate to replying to everyones comments…I feel bad for you.
- bozosforall - Dec 15, 2011 at 4:18 PM
Everyone can have an opinion that is different than mine. That is what message boards are for. But if you post it, expect for it to be taken apart if it isn't well formulated. That's life, little boi.
And as for "so much time", I pop in and pop out throughout the day, working in between. Sorry that you aren't set up to do the same but that's also life.
I feel bad for you…must be tough to be as slow-witted as you.

A Multi-Centered Trial Evaluating the Role of Vitamin D Metabolism in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (EBUS)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Vitamin D exerts antiproliferative and differentiating effects in cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The active form of Vitamin D is 1,25, dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol) which rapidly induces expression of cytochrome P450 24R-hydroxylase (CYP24A1). CYP24A1 initiates inactivation of calcitriol as a result of successive hydroxylation/oxidation reactions. This study seeks to prospectively determine the relationship between Vitamin D gene expression and median survival as a primary outcome, and between the Vitamin D receptor (VDR)/CYP24A1 gene expression and cancer stage, smoking status, serum 1,25 (OH)2D3 levels as well as CYP24A1 genotype.

Wait until u see me...
Because you're in China??
You've never met Yao Ming?
Asian people are very community focused and end up in dense populations. Smaller size is more advantageous for larger groups to conserve on limited space and food resources. Asians have genetically adapted to their culture and large population sizes.
I'm dating an Asian, and she's 108 pounds. That's literally half my size.
avatars are deceiving once again. this is how I actually look like http://images.wikia.com/mk/images/8/8b/Evil_goku.jpg
Umm I guess you don't follow basketball? Yao Ming is Chinese and at 7' 3" tall... pretty big.
You've never seen Yao Ming?
you must live in the world's smallest town, because there are 4 billion asians and probability states that the height average is the same
For the same reasons that small Asian ppl keep spotting you!
Can you say "Sumo"?
Trick question. You live in China.

? Main Program Operation:
? Your program should first prompt the user for an integer with "Enter an integer in
range [1-50]:"
? Using a do while loop, perform error checking to ensure the number entered is within range. If
it outside of the range, prompt with "Number out of range. Please enter another
number.\n" and prompt for input again.
? Once the input is valid, use a for loop to count down from the user entered number to 0,
printing each value to the screen. For example, if the user entered 4 the following should
appear on the screen: 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
? Next, using for loops, print the values of an array A to the screen. Multiply each element of
array A by the user inputted value and print the values to the screen. Do not modify the
contents of array A.
? Divide the entries in array A by the user inputted value and print the remainder for each entry
to the screen. Do not modify the contents of array A.
? Then, prompt the user to enter a 52 character or less string of characters. Perform toggle case
on the string and print the string to the screen. All symbols and non?visible characters should
remain unchanged. Example input: Happy Birthday! Example output: hAPPY bIRTHDAY!
? Next, print the first memory word of the entered character string as an integer number.
? Prompt the user to enter a second integer, "Enter an seed integer for random
number generator:"
? Set the seed using MARS syscall 40 to the integer number entered. Then generate (MARS
syscall 42) and store 10 random integer numbers between 0-2000 into array B. Print the
values of B to the screen: B: 2, 34, 267, 12534, 134, 1, 234, 12, 13043,
? Use a loop to iterate over the 10 values in B in order to determine if they are EVEN or ODD
(using the AND instruction). Count the number of EVEN and ODD values, and the sum of all
even and odd entries and print the results to the user.
Example: EVEN: 4 ODD: 6
? Once this is completed, the program should prompt the user with the message: "Do you
want to start over (Y/N)?"
- If the answer is 'Y' the program should repeat from the beginning. If 'N' the
program should exit. If any other character is entered, the program should prompt
the user again.
? Data Segment (Refer to Appendix A, assembler directives):
? Define an array of integer numbers A, initialized to values 9, 10, 12, 21, 42
? Define space to hold 10 integer numbers in B
? Define space for the ascii string input
? Define all text strings for printing using the .asciiz directive.

SuperWASP is a fully robotic, ultra-wide angle survey for planetary transits. Currently under construction, it will consist of 5 cameras, each monitoring a 9.5 by 9.5 degree field of view. The Torus mount and enclosure will be fully automated and linked to a built-in weather station. We aim to begin observations at the beginning of 2003.

Sarafina is the mother of Nala, mother-in-law of Simba and maternal grandmother of Kiara, Kion and Kopa.
Physical Attributes
Sarafina takes on the appearance of a typical Pridelander; cream fur, apple-green eyes, and colorless paws. Both her upper and lower eye shades are light, the opposite of Scar's, which are dark. She looks distinctly like her daughter Nala and also similar to Sarabi.
Sarafina is mother of Nala and Mheetu, although Mheetu does not appear in the film. In the book universe, she and a lion named Ni, help rescue Chumvi, Kula and Nala from Hyenas in the book, Nala's Dare. In the movie, Sarafina has but one line: "Hmm...what do you think Sarabi?". She is also known to appear in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride in one scene when Kiara is about to go on her first hunt, where she says to Kiara "My, how you've grown!", however there is little evidence to say that lion is definitely her.

Definition: You are hammered drunk and you decide to drop one down, only you find that it happens to be the best damn turd of your young life. It was so good in fact, that you feel as if it was your birthday. On occasion, the loaf itself refuses to be flushed, enhancing/dampening the birthday effect depending on location.
Example: You are wishing someone happy birthday at a bar, perhaps for their 12:01, and instead of singing the happy birthday song when everyone else is singing it, you yell "take a birthday dump....Jesse Reimer!" "TAKE A BIRFDAY DUMP" (if ur black)
